...it's time!
Ladies and gents of ASB, I bid you welcome to that most well-trodden and nondescript of battlefields: Indigo Plateau! Here, a battle five Generations in the making will begin between three steely fighters. Cynder, BTPoke and Emerald_Gen.3 take to the field to the roar of the crowd. Today, they will be using one Pokemon from every Generation in a match that will carry them from those nostalgic early days of Red and Blue to the monochromatic present. The trip begins with Gen I and the trainers release their Pokemon accordingly.
With three flashes of light, a Jigglypuff, Dragonite and Squirtle take to the field. Cicero, the fastest Pogey on the field (being a fully-evolved pseudo-legend has some perks, even if it makes you one heck of a target), begins by... waiting? Hrm. Recognizing an opportunity, Shindo smiles sweetly before pointing a plump little arm at Cicero and cutting loose with a shimmering Ice Beam. Cicero beats his wings and darts off into the sky, cunningly evading the attack. Squirt, meanwhile, is forced to wait a full minute for the show-off of a Dragonite to return to the ground. Yeah, yeah, you can fly. We got it. Once Cicero touches back down, Squirt releases an Ice Beam of its own. Cicero takes the hit and stumbles backwards before tumbling down to the ground. It facepalms. It looks like Cicero is going to have a tough row to hoe.
Shindo: <-8 EP>
Cicero: <-20 HP; -4 EP; +2 Spd>
Squirt: <-8 EP>
Cicero is majorly irked after that little game of let's-all-hang-up-on-the-Dragonite-and-give-it-hypothermia-lololol. Its horn begins to spin and hum as Cicero sets its sights on... Shindo! Eek! Before the Jigglypuff can move a muscle, Cicero lunges forward and Horn Drills the Jigglypuff square between the eyes. Yowch! Shindo takes exorbitant damage and flops over in a daze. If that's not enough, Squirt waddles forward and begins spitting bubbles in Shindo's face. Bubbles? Really? Bubbles? Shindo looks at Squirt with a look of disgust (seriously, though, bubbles?!) and zaps the TinyTurtle with a touch of electricity. Well-deserved, I must say.
Shindo: <-31 HP; -8 EP>
Cicero: <-23 EP>
Squirt: <-15 HP; -2 EP>
Cicero decides to use an Electric-type move of its own. It conducts an even heavier dose of high voltage and sends it in Squirt's direction, but the Water-type isn't too keen on getting fried twice in a row. Squirt tries to hide behind a Protective barrier, but doesn't quite know how to execute a maneuver like that... probably because he's a Generation away from learning it. Thus, the Thunder hits and it hits hard, leaving Squirt in quite a daze. Meanwhile, Shindo, who's still not thrilled about that friggin' Horn Drill, attacks with a raging Blizzard. The storm of ice and snow piles upon Cicero and leaves the Dragonite a little on the frosty side. Ice crystals accrue around Cicero's wings and leave them Frozen. Ugh! Nobody understands how gosh-darn difficult it is to be a Dragonite in this day and age, y'know?
Shindo: <-10 EP>
Cicero: <-24 HP; -10 EP; Partial Frz>
Squirt: <-18 HP; Can't move!>
‡ Post-Round ‡
Notes:
> At 0 EP, Pokemon will begin to lose 1 HP for every 2 EP they consume
> Oh, those sprites... *nostalgia*
> The number beside the colourless symbols = your coin count, by the way
> Damage done to Cicero was capped at 40 HP
> Every action, Cicero's wings will have a 25% chance of thawing out; as well, any Fire-type move used by or against Cicero that target the wings will cause the ice to melt; so long as Cicero is Frozen, it will not have access to its wings
> Because Protect is a Generation II move, it failed
> TEAM EMERALD_GEN.3 to command next followed by TEAM CYNDER and then TEAM BTPOKE
