Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The presence of melted waters and a heated atmosphere should make whipping up a Rain Dance for good luck a breeze, right?! Then Roost off the searing pain and smack it silly with a Hurricane!
Uh-oh! Looks like when Cartons swapped to Lunchbox, Xaq went back to the old, reliable Reginarate! This could prove troublesome!
Immediately, Reginarate zaps the water bird with a flash Thunderbolt, which was unavoidable at all costs. Desperate for survival, Lunchbox attempts to do the Rain Dance, but the arena strictly says weather moves can't be used! Ouch!
Reginarate just regenerates itself into shape with a nice Recover. Now it's even more of a threat to Cartoons! Likewise, Lunchbox decides to Roost on top of a floating piece of ice to survive through this anti-sea gull arena. It's just not looking good!
Again, Reginarate conducts electricity within itself and fires off a lethal Thunderbolt onto Lunchbox, with deals huge damage to everything Lunchbox related! Gladly, Lunchbox is able to make a Hurricane in the arena with her wings and not the weather! She flaps them so hard that the "weather" in the room has become a huge Hurricane that blows out the flames, relocates all the ice into random areas, and, most of all, slams Reginarate into a wall, confused! Confused? That's for 3 actions!
With its higher Speed, Reginarate delivers a lightning fast Thunderbolt right onto Lunchbox, which electrifies the little sea gull! Sadly, Fly was just a bit too late to make Lunchbox get out of sight but she still does anyway. Seeing how Reginarate is attempting firing star-shaped Swifts at her, Lunchbox attempts to act quickly at what to do. Gladly, it seems Reginarate hit itself in confusion somehow! What she got from her thinking here was that this was "none of the above" and thus she remains uphigh in "safety". There! Reginarate is weary and decides to chill out - it's a opening! There, Lunchbox swoops in for the attack and smacks Reginarate a new star! After the hit, Reginarate... suddenly just doesn't feel as confused as it was before.
Meet his Thunderbolt with a swift Air Slash to the teeth. Now whip up a mighty...oh...intermission? Okay, why don't you Roost up a bit as we prepare for the next act.
...
we back on?
okay! Take the bullet and insert your mighty coin for 'spin cycle'!..Hurricane that is...
[Okay, I've been slowing down and I'm pretty tired atm so I'll just lay it out.]
- Reginarate strikes Lunchbox with a Thunderbolt :( but no paralysis!
- Lunchbox slices Reginarate with a clean Air Slash
- Reginarate chills to recover back some energy
- Lunchbox Roosts on some iceblock for some HP
- Reginarate strikes Lunchbox with another Thunderbolt, no paralysis or anything like that.
- Lunchbox creates a Hurricane that hits but nothing else
Lunchy, if the Staryu attempts to KyouO, strike first with a Quick Attack (preferably a critical hit (preferably a 1HKO)). If it attempts to chill out or Recover or anything, your goal is to Air Slash.
Noticing her defeat, Lunchbox quickly lunges at Reginarate and gives it a whammy attack! Reginarate just stands strong as if the attack was nothing more than air! (218/1000 critroll, <=63/1000 needed.) It then collects the electrical particles of the air and creates a swift Thunderbolt that electrifies the poor Lunchbox until she's no more than a fried chicken... err seagull.
As we pass into the autumn, it grieves me to ask so much of you. Orby, would you let me Thunder for you? I know it cannot be...
But what if it misses? I cannot bear the consequences. Let it Thunder again in everybody's ears. Let the world know, Orby, not that you tried, but that you were loved.
What's this? Were the very stars themselves struck by lightning? Did you shake the heavens for me, Orby? You stand in Spark contrast to the timid Voltorb I once knew.
Though the cruel war rages, I know, Orby, you have to fight. I will be with you, as your morning passes to night.
Round 11: One Shock - Two Shocks - But NO Three Shocks?!?
With Lunchbox out of the ring, it's up to Orby to try to clean things up! Orby immediately creates a Thunder from in itself and raises it into the air. It then immediately strikes Reginarate with amazing force. Sadly, there are no paralysis marks remaining on the starfish as it prepares a Hydro Pump. Due to Orby's roundness, it looks like the move totally missed it!
Lucky to keep its current HP and being able to hit, Orby launches another Thunder attack that, with Lady's Luck, hits Reginarate like an ace! This does Reginarate in as it wobbles and backflops, crashing into the water in a faint!
As Xaqwais returns Reginarate back to his PokeBall, a mysterious smile filled with victory can be seen. He already has anticipated the future.
From his other PokeBall comes the somewhat battle-worn Silly, who's definitely in better condition than the super battle-worn Orby! Orby fights off the fact that it's about to faint and fires off its last Thunder that strikes Silly with devilish concentrations of electricity. After the shocking blow, Orby just kinda... closes its eyes and rolls over... into the waters! What happened? It must have ran out of energy!
Silly, being the silly Bagon he is, just laughs out loud at Orby's silliness. The remaining electrical particles may have a lasting effect on Silly at the moment, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy this well-earned victory over the legendary Cartoons!!!!!
And good match, Xaq. I really thought I had this what with all the type advantages I was packing, but you pulled some smart switches and didn't waste a turn.
