BTPoke v. Chobi [Ref: Ash0011](Finished)

[BTPoke]

Alright, Fresh out of the oven, let's see how I do.

I want a 4v4 double battle, abilities included, Double Team not allowed, opponent sends out his pokemon first, but I will attack first.

DQ time is 1 week

Arena: Isle of winds; This island is far off from any civilization, and the wind seems to come to the island in all directions. Due to many wind currents flowing throughout the island, any Flying type pokemon's speed is increased by one stage.

[Ash0011]

I'll ref

[ChobiChibi]

Alright, I've been waiting for a fellow newbie to battle

I choose Pantsu (Scraggy, M, Moxie) and Sumomo (Sneasel, F, no ability).

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Woooooooooooo

*waves flag*

[BTPoke]

Dark types... why did it have to be dark types?

anyway, let's get this party started!

Go, Rosalinda!


[Species: Ralts]
[Gender:F]
[Nickname:Rosalinda]
[Ability: Synchronize]


Go, Sake!


[Species: Mienfoo]
[Gender: M]
[Nickname: Sake]
[Ability: Regenerator]

Rosalinda, you're at a huge disadvantage, here. I want you to use skill swap on scraggy, but if someone tries to stop that, use fire punch on sneasel. Then, if you're not taunted, use hypnosis on scraggy, but if you are, use charge beam on scraggy. Then, if you're still not taunted, use Trick room, but if you are, use icy wind on scraggy.

Rosalinda: Skill Swap @Scraggy/Fire punch @Sneasel ~ Hypnosis @Scraggy/Charge Beam @Scraggy ~ Trick Room/ Icy Wind @Scraggy

Sake, first, I want you to use fake out on Sneasel, but if someone tries to taunt rosalinda, block the taunt with protect. Next, I want you to use force palm on sneasel, but if she tries to protect, use it on scraggy instead. Then, I want you to use bulk up, but if you're taunted, use drain punch on Sneasel.

Sake: Fake out @Sneasel/Protect ~ Force Palm @Sneasel/Force Palm @Scraggy ~ Bulk up/Drain Punch @Sneasel

[ChobiChibi]

Alrighty then, you got me thinking.

Sumomo, get in there with Aerial Ace on Sake before fake out, if you can. Dig to avoid that nasty force palm, and whilst you're down there, use Calm Mind. Everyone loves raised stats!

Aerial Ace (Sake) ~ Dig ~ Calm Mind

Pantsu, start with Double Team, since it ain't so bad he wants to try skill swapping with us, I suppose. Next, since we aren't too worried about hypnosis, since you are a dark type and that is a psychic type move, use Crunch on Ralts. And since they seem to be so worried about taunting, use Taunt on Ralts.

Double Team ~ Crunch (Rosalinda) ~ Taunt (Rosalinda)

Hello all you Pokemon fans out there and welcome to another battle this fine day in a very windy middle of nowhere, on one side we have the new trainer BTPoke and on the other we have a vetran, ChobiChibi they kick off this battle by sendng out two Pokemon each, Chobi having chosen a Sneasle and Scraggy, while BT is using a Ralts and a Meinfoo

Sumo begins the battle by dashing madly at Sake, hoping for an easy hit, but is cut off when he fakes to the left and jabs her in the gut causing her to double over in pain [-4E Sake/-4E -5H Sumo] meanwhile Pant tries to make some clones, but the perpetual winds of the island blow them away immediately [-5E Pant] taking advantage of her clone-less opponent Rosa emits a beam of purple light, swapping her ability for her opponent’s [-7E Rosa]

Feeling decidedly strange, pant decides to bite rose as hard as he can but, before he can get there, he is stopped by her hypnotic gaze [-3E Rosa] as Pant falls gently asleep, his newfound ability... does nothing[Pant+slp] as this is occurring Sake attempts to strike his previously flinching opponent with a glowing red hand, and just manages to land a hit before Sumo dives underground [-5E Sake/-5E -12HSumo]

With her partner in dreamland, Sumo starts to calm down as well by using calm mind [-3E +spAtk +spDef Sumo] All this relaxing is starting to make Sake edgy so he decides to ready himself for action by lifting weights… rocks work just as well [-3E +Atk +Def Sake ]
Results seeing everyone using status moves makes rose want to use them too! she places a glowing magenta aura around the field reversing who moves faster [-4E Rosa]

[BTPoke]

um, ash, you made a mistake. Synchronize doesn't give sleep status, so rosalinda should've been awake and should've used trick room or icy wind on scraggy.

[Ash0011]

Well leave it to me to mess up my first reefing post XD
editing asap

[ChobiChibi]

Oops, my bad! Coulda gone a lot worse, though.

Right then Sumomo, since you're probably slowest now, we'll take it easy. Whilst you're still underground, use Reflect to help you against those nasty punches. Dig back up as close to Rosalinda as possible, then give her a nice big Shadow Claw.

Reflect (on self, not shared with Pantsu) ~ Dig Up (close to Rosalinda) ~ Shadow Claw (Rosalinda)

Dear Pantsu, please wake up. Do a series of sleep talks and snores. If however, you do wake up, use Roar at Rosalinda, Crunch on Rosalinda, and then Toxic on Sake.

Sleep Talk/Roar (Rosalinda) ~ Snore/Crunch (Rosalinda) ~ Sleep Talk/Toxic (Sake)

[BTPoke]

Alright, this I could work with.

Rosalinda, since you are now the fastest, I want you to use confuse ray on Pantsu. Then, I want you to wait until Sumomo comes up from dig, and use Flash to lower her accuracy. Then, use protect before Sumomo has a chance to hit you with shadow claw.

Rosalinda: Confuse Ray @Pantsu ~ Flash @Sumomo (wait until Sumomo comes up from dig) ~ Protect

Sake, I want you to use swords dance in preparation for this next attack. Once Sumomo comes up from dig, I want you to use Brick break to get rid of the reflect. Then, use high jump kick to take her down a few notches.

Sake: Swords Dance ~ Brick Break @Sumomo (wait until Sumomo comes up from dig) ~ High Jump Kick @Sumomo


Also @Ash, http://www.pokestadium.com/pokemon/sprites/ < this is a good place to get good sprites (it's where I get mine)

[Ash0011]

K I can't ref until fri as I only have my iPhone to post from currently

[BTPoke]

Did you forget? ref as soon as possible please

[Oslo]

Ash made a post in the Absence Tower, fyi.

[Ash0011]

yes I can only post from my iphone right now, still, and worse we're leaving on a trip like now and I can't find my ds

[ChobiChibi]

Would anyone mind subbing this, since he asked so nicely in the tower?

[ChobiChibi]

Bumpity bump for a subref.

Also, Ash, you didn't actually swap Pantsu and Rosalinda's abilities in your reffing. Tis kinda important >_>

[Ash0011]

ok got that reffing will be up tomorrow, if it's not I'm either dead, or worse, grounded
sorry again, but my mom isn't letting me do anything other than my iphone during the week now, sooooo...

[Ash0011]

aaand grounded working on it now

Moving on to the next round Rosa hits a sleeping pant with a confuse ray, while her partner starts an attack raising dance [-3E Rosa|-4E+2Atk Sake|+Con Pant] Pant seems to take no notice and starts… Dancing? Pant seems to be using Dragon dance raising his attack and speed [-3E +1Atk+1Spd Pant] and his partner, seemingly sensing the stat boosts, conjures a mystical wall of light, upping her defense [-4E +1Def Sumo]

With the stat boost in place, Pant starts snoring loudly in the direction of Rosa [-4E Pant|-5H Rosa] and his teammate begins burrowing upward to a surprise… for her… Rosa senses where Sumo will emerge and both her and her partner converge on the area, Sumo, expecting to come up for a surprise attack, has the tables turned when Rosa hits her with a blinding flash that is ever so closely followed by a shield shattering brick break [-3E-15H-1Acc-1Def Sumo|-4E Sake|-3E Rosa]

Feeling good after the last attack Sake goes for a High jump kick to Sumo, that misses and HUUURTS [-4E-5H Sake] after all the excitement Pant wakes up and snaps out of confusion in one stroke and fires a toxic in the next while Sumo goes in with claws of dark energy, all of which are useless against a hasty protect... if only sake was behind it [-4E Pant|-4E Sum|-5E Rosa|+Txc2 Sake]

[BTPoke]

Rosalinda, start teleporting around, dodging attacks. If pantsu uses dig at any time, I want you to use teleport to grab him and teleport him back up to the surface. if he tries to protect himself on the third turn, use taunt on the turn before protect's use.

Rosalinda: Teleport ~ Teleport/taunt ~ teleport

Sake, first, I want you to use swords dance to increase your attack more. If anyone tries to snatch it or uses taunt, use aura sphere on the one using snatch or taunt. Then, I want you to use bounce, but once you get high enough, use high jump kick on pantsu with the increased power due to height. (however much power increased is up to you)

Sake: Swords Dance/ Aura Sphere ~ Bounce + High Jump Kick

[BTPoke]

bumping because I really don't wanna win due to DQ

[ChobiChibi]

Sorry, I really didn't see this! I'll get on it tomorrow morning, have no fear (I have a job to apply for tonight).

EDIT: Hold on a second. Why did Toxic miss Sake? Protect doesn't affect both pokemon in play unless stated in commands, in which case it should probably use more energy. If it missed just because it missed, fair enough, but if it was due to protect, then it's not right >_>

[BTPoke]

Cobi's right. it looks as if you made toxic miss due to protect, even though I only had rosalinda use protect on herself

[Ash0011]

if theres no reason not to im going to ref protect on both as long as theyre close enough as theres no reason for one not to mooch off of protect its just the way im reffing even if not the toxic would be more easily avoidable due to a large barrier or protect in the way
sorry for grammar im posting from a kindle touch the colorless lightless kindw

[BTPoke]

lol I'm posting from an ipod touch :3

[ChobiChibi]

So even though BTPoke agrees with me, you're not going to change it? There was no indication from you that they were even close to each other, and no command to share the protect.

[Greyfox]

Ash, even if both pokemon were close to eachother, Protect only works on the user, not the teammates. You'll either need to explain it better to the battles or re-ref the round.

[Ash0011]

This is the way I’m going to ref it because I think a pokemon would be smart enough to get under the protection and avoid the opponent’s moves even if not necessarily told though they would only do this if they were near enough I see no reason not to it’s just going to be something about how I ref, I did miss the slightly higher energy cost though

[Greyfox]

Call if ref's interpretation all you want, Ash, but you don't get to change the entirety of how an attack works just because you see it differently.

Minute changes are one thing, but you're changing the entire biology of the attack in question. If Protect is allowed to protect everyone close enough to it, then it means that while being protected free of charge, the teammate can fire off attacks freely without fear of being damaged in any way, which is just ridiculous.

I would understand it if the battler requested an alteration of the move to allow this sort of change (but even then it would be a one-time thing only), but BTPoke even said that's not what he wanted at all.

[Ash0011]

It still costs the extra energy I’m just treating it as if they said for it to cover both pokemon and the range isn’t that big just a few feet away from the protect

[Greyfox]

But he didn't say that at all. He ordered Sake to use Hi-Jump Kick, which was performed. Sake doesn't get to be under the effects of Protect because he had already used an attack that action -- if he was somehow able to perform an attack and be protected from every other attack, it wouldn't be fair at all.

[Rossymore]

One thing to note is if you made it so Protect protects both Pokemon, then a Trainer can just order both Pokemon to interchange the move between them so that the opponent can never land a hit, which is pretty broken.

However, it should be noted that using Protect for both Pokemon has been used in the anime, with a Swampert jumping in front of an Arcanine to use Protect, stopping the attack from hitting them both. Though this does occur with the Pokemon using Protect being ordered to protect the other Pokemon.

Just two observations, though Pokemon will listen to what their trainer orders, no matter what, even if the Pokemon doesn't exactly think it's a good idea.

[Greyfox]

However, it should be noted that using Protect for both Pokemon has been used in the anime, with a Swampert jumping in front of an Arcanine to use Protect, stopping the attack from hitting them both. Though this does occur with the Pokemon using Protect being ordered to protect the other Pokemon.

That's not really the same thing though. Protect only really worked on Swampert in that scenario; Arcanine was unharmed only because their was no feasible way for the attack to hit him as a result.

[DarkestLight]

O.O waiwaiwaiwai! Lol hold on. Sake did a hi jump kick to Sumo..and missed..putting him at best, let's say 5 meters away. Sumo then slashes at sake, while ros puts up a protect that stretches to protect sake? Yeah no, that's no bueno.

Protect stacking is possible ONLY if the users are right next to each other. See Charles' battle with me for an example (8 on 8). It does cost more energy and the barrier still can be broken if used repeteadly. However, if it was QUICK or Wide guard being used, it would have been a little more feasible.

Anyway, Grey has this. I just came in causd chibi wanted me to have a doughnut.

[Ash0011]

ok I think I get it now, but the swampert/arcanine isn't the only example it was also used at another point by Conway's slowking to protect dawn's piplup in a tag tournament allowing piplup to attack anyways
will re-ref asap though (most likely fri)
also a ref would probably have the alternating protects fail at the slightest inkling of such a cheap strategy

[BTPoke]

so, wait, doesnt chobi still need to post moves? or does ash still need to re-ref or whatever or what? *Bump*

[ChobiChibi]

He said he'd re-ref, so that's what I'm waiting for...

[Ash0011]

Sorry! I forgot about this editing!

[BTPoke]

Ok, I see that the editing is done now, is that right ash? if so, then it's chobi's turn to state moves now.
