Tha Arena

Junkyard (Tentative Arena) (close)

Far, far, away from the city, past the river and through the meadow, beyond the mountains and over the plains, lies an ancient forest. But that's not important. What's important is what's beyond said ancient forest. Beyond said ancient forest lies an old, forgotten, junkyard. Old scraps of metal, appliances, and the bodies of forgotten cars pile up farther than one would imagine physically possible. If one were to go into the heart of the junkyard, they would discover a dirt clearing about 100 feet x 100 feet, and they would also find a lone trainer by the name of Complications.
Effects:
-The once cared-for junkyard seems to emanate sadness. Adding to the effect is the fact that it's always raining. Consequently, it is impossible to summon sunny weather without a Heat Rock, and even then, it will only last 4 rounds. However, Hail storms and Sandstorms can be summoned normally. When altered weather effects end, the arena's weather reverts to rain.
-Any Pokemon who's defenses (before any modifiers from items) add up to a BST of 8 or more (for example, Bronzong), recieve an increase of 1 rank to each of their defenses.

Yolol, ladies and gentlemen. Today we are on this shit-hole that Comp calls a gym (Seriously, get someone to clean this up!) for his battle, as the Steel Gym Leader of wherever-the-fuck-this-thing-takes-place takes on the Fighting Gym Leader, Birkal (Who has a really cool avatar!)!

On the gym leader side, we got these Steel types (How predictable). The recently-out-of-the-closet Kitsunoh, Baal, should prove to be a thorn on Birkal's side, boasting that immunity to fighting moves (At least, until Foresight is used, hue).Comp also didnt send the mons sprites, so i had to get different ones. f u will fight with a few edited sprites because he opposed me.

Bakom | Scrafty

Bakom | Scrafty (M)

Bakom is an exotic style of Peruvian street fighting that values hidden weapons and deception. It utilizes tactics from jujutsu, and aims to attack with power in order to disrupt an opponent's equilibrium. Confrontations typically end in death.

Ok, time to decide who goes first!

If Batman owns the crook, Complications will send out and then Birkal will order. Otherwise, Birkal will send out while Comp orders second.

On second thought, thats probably not the best way to decide turn order....


1) Complications sends out and equips
2) Birkal sends out, equips and orders
3) Complications orders
4) I ref

 

[Complications]

"Hello Birkal, it's about time we get to have a real battle. I'd like to say a nice speech, but words seem to escape me during these types of conflicts, so I'll cut to the chase."

Baal @ Metal Coat
"When in doubt, send in the scout! (Corny rhyming is as close to hell as I can get right now.)"

 

[Birkal]

"Let's see what you're made of."

Bakom @ Rare Candy

Crunch | Payback | Crunch

If Baal is in the semi-invulnerable stage of a damaging evasive move when you would attack it, use Dig that action. Push back actions each time.
If there are Double Team clones up when you would attack, use Rock Slide that action. Push back actions each time.​

 

[Complications]

"As I suspected. Evasive maneuvers seems optimal in this situation."

"What did you do to my picture Matezoide!?"
Fake Out-Imprison (Payback, Dig, Protect)- U-Turn

Aaaaaaand here we are, ladies and gentlemen! The battle on the Steel gym for the...Steel Badge! It is actually a rusty coin, what did you expect from this shit-hole he called a Gym? But it is the symbolism that counts, right?


Regardless, as his first pokemon, the gym leader leads with his trusty Kitsunoh, Baal, while Birkal went for one of his closest mons, Bakom, the Scrafty!


Immediately Intimidating his opponent, Bakom grins and jumps for the action, but Baal still demonstrates it's speed and jumps, quickly striking the lizard mon in the ears (Or whatever he uses as ears). The Fake Out managed to flinch the poor thing, who was completely caught off-guard!


Angered, Bakom prepares to Payback his opponent back in pain, but thanks to his fast thinking, Baal manages to connect his mind to the Scrafty's and, with a very nice mental block, temporarily erases the move from his mind. Feeling his mind Imprisoned, the Scrafty is unable to attack, completely confused.

Using his enemy's confusion, Baal quickly goes for another strike and screams to one of Comp's pokemon ''It is U-Turn now, bro!'' Despite suffering very little damage, Bakom feels utterly humiliated and quickly grabs the Kitsunoh's tail, Crunching it and letting the Ghost/Steel scream in pain, due to his new weakness. Luckly for the leader, however, Baal's Cursed Body activated, physically locking a few of Scrafty's muscles and preventing any future Crunches.


Despite only getting a single hit, Bakom managed to stay strong and get the HP advantage to Birkal, despite Kitsunoh's Frisk, but the Gym Leader probably has a plan.

[Birkal]

Over to Lucario @ Lucarionite. Counterswitch?

 

[Birkal]

Your last set of actions took over 5 days. Let's please not repeat that, Complications.

 

[Matezoide]

Complications is a dick

8=========>

 

[Birkal]

Complications has had over a week to deliberate his next move. Seeing as he's already done this before (his first move took just as long), I'm going to call DQ. Try to post within 24 hours of this post, Complications. This is getting ridiculous. Your move is not that hard to make; we both know that skill isn't the cause of delay here.

Thu  CDXCIV  Complications said 18 hours, 36 minutes, 6 seconds ago in #capasb: I'll post in our gym match tomorrow. I apologize for my lateness.

I don't know if supporting a culture of lazy gym leaders is what we're looking for here in the ASB Gym League. Sure it'd be nice to have a set of every type, but I am not sure that goal is worth recruiting leaders who claim that they themselves are procrastinators. Food for thought when considering whether Complications is capable of running a gym.

 

[Complications]

If I were one to swear if be doing it right now at myself...

Kitsunoh @ Expert Belt

Super Fang-Bulldoze-Earthquake
If Lucario is in the evasive stage if a damaging evasive move, use Earthquake on that action.
If Lucario would be under the effects of Magnet Rise and you use a damaging ground type move, change that action to Revenge.

I'd like to apologize for my lateness, which you already have described as inexcusable. There is not much I can say in my defense, other than that I will try to rectify it to the best if my abilities.

 

[Birkal]

Disappointing that I'll be losing my best Mega Mawile counter so early, but someone's gotta bust a move.

Foresight | High Jump Kick | High Jump Kick

If High Jump Kick is disabled from being used on A3 due to Cursed Body, use Counter that action.​

Kitsunoh begins the round by Enduring while Lucario finally remembers he can mega-evolve! What a smart pokemon!


Then his Cross Chop fails to KO.


Then then Kitsunoh uses Endeavor for tons of damage and Lucario makes a Substitute AFTER it took the hit....what a dumb pokemon!

And and and then Kitsunoh Yolol Kicks while Lucario fails to KO with Cross Chop again!!


Also, a Sunkern flock is flying by.

Wheeeeee!!!

[Birkal]

Mega Lucario has base 127 speed, meaning that it should use Substitute before Kitsunoh's Endeavor. Means that the move will also do less damage and cost less energy for Kitsunoh.

 

[Matezoide]

Lucario was at -1 Speed.

 

[Complications]

Well given I miscalced the energy cost of Low Kick, there's nothing I can do but force Extremespeed I suppose.

Shadow Sneak-Shadow Sneak-Shadow Sneak
If Lucario uses a successful P/E move, chill, and use Shadow Sneak+Shadow Sneak on the following action.
If Lucario uses High Jump Kick, use Protect.
