Data ASB Gym League Signup Thread MARK 2 [OP is finally up to date lol jk]

Challenging Emma.
You said you had a good team planned, I'm curious~ (... though don't go over DQ etc.)

Rules:
3v3 Singles (Challenger brings 3, Leader brings 4)
2 day DQ
2 Recoveries / 5 Chills
3 Substitutions
1 Mega Evolution
Items: ON
Switch: OK
Abilities: ALL
Arena: Fairy Gym Arena
The ASB TournamentFairy-type Gym Arena

Surrounded by thousands of screaming Pokemon fansFairy-type Pokemon, the ASBFairy-type Gym Arena can be best described as a standard Pokemon battling arena. In the center of the arena lies a dirt-based floor outlined to show two separate sides (with a white Pokeball center). Surrounding the dirt is a moat filled with water. The moat is about fifteen feet wide and creates a perimeter around the dirt arena. The arena itself is eighty feet wide, one hundred feet long. All moves, weathers, and abilities are legal for the match, since it's an outdoor arena with a large water source and packed dirt. Pokemon must stay in the arena (or the dimensions of the arena in the case of Flying Pokemon, who cannot leave the arena and cannot fly higher than sixty feet). This prevents Pokemon from injuring the crowd watching the tournament. There are ALMOST no outside interruptions by fans, Pokemon, or other elements not associated with the current battle. However, the Fairy spectators are impatient and want to see a match. If a trainer hesitates excessively during the battle (read: goes over DQ), they will swarm and attack.

Summary:
- Standard rules
- If you go over DQ (however slightly), the fairies will brutally murder you [Note: if you post in LOA, or give a not-shitty reason AHEAD OF TIME, I won't DQ you]

Not Fair to the ref @_@

Not blaming anyone, if that is what the Gym Leader and the Challenger want, then so be it. Although, the ref gets abused. Why would I setup a format, flavor, time, a reffing slot, If I find the two folks involved can do this?

This would definitely make me think before accepting certain Gym Challenges. Anyways, the battle is forfeited and no one gets anything. Pwnemon has an open slot to accept another challenge now.
 

Stratos

Banned deucer.
seeing as i have no motivation to put hours into ASB anymore, I'm stepping down as leader of the grass gym, which means it's closed until someone else steps up to fill the spot.

And confirming. Rediamond, you are free to challenge any other gym, given the closure of Grass Gym.

Applications for Grass Gym will open when the committee gets around to it!
 
About how long will the grass quals start from now? In other words, would people like me who don't have many grass-types be able to train enough to have a good chance before it starts?

You have your own Qualifiers to worry about.

Grass Quals ETA is "Soon (TM)". We'll likely give advance notice for it~
 

Frosty

I will still consider Maxim's battles taken by geodude6 as far as the queue go. Also, "Soon (TM)" is latin for "it will take fucking long", so you can go prepare for the quals from scratch if you want haha ^_^.

I will let Gale announce the end of my match. On the meantime:

Arena: Lost Woods

Following the instructions of the Gym League people, you rent a Gogoat, mount it and enter a strange forest. "Search for the Sound of Music", the instructions said.


"My sensors can only detect shitty Electric rodents. This will be tough..."​

Still, you heard that the Fire Gym was an easy target, so you move on. Somewhere in the trail, you feel...weird, as if you were not there anymore...or as if "there" wasn't there anymore.


"Also, I keep grinning like that to show that I am mentally ill ^_^."​

You say to yourself, changing the subject completely. I guess you have more stuff to worry about than your awareness of the forest.

You and your rented Gogoat continue to move forward, following the trail. You can find footprints of many species...and yet you don't recognize any of them. Also, the woods seem to...shine? Despite being really late, there are enough sources of light around, allowing you to see your way quite clearly.

"Too many weird Fireflies here...well, at least it isn't dark" - you think. Well, aren't you naive?

After a good hour, the trail divides into two. Before falling to despair, you manage to hear a faint sound. A song of sorts. Well...strap me a bow and call me Snubbull, music in the woods. You decide to follow it and in no time you find...


GAAAAHHH!!!

You yell, after seeing the such an odd kid. Needless to say, your Gogoat fled before you could say "what the fuck".

"Heheh, Are you looking for someone, big guy?" - The kid asks.


"Shitty Electric Rodents, especially the ones that fly. If it could be a flying sheep rodent, that would lovely."
"...what?" - The kid asks


"I mean. I am looking for the Fire Gym Leader"​

"I don't know any 'Fire Gym Leader', Tee Hee Heee! But if you want some fire, there is this guy here who has been wandering around for quite some time. He was with a strange Fox with Nine Tails and a Flaming big Pig. Maybe he is the one you are looking for? If so just follow the music." - The kid says.

After thanking the kid you follow the music, running as fast as you can for some time when suddenly...

THUD


"Ouch! That hurts! You should pay attention!"​


"You."


"Oh you are the guy of that boat I sinked. Its...dogsheep66, right?"


"Dogfish44."


"Yeah that. Anyway, sorry about that and all."


"All in the past. Say...do you know where I can find the Fire Gym Leader?"​


"Oh, I am the guy you are looking for. I am Frosty, Fire Gym Leader, owner of the Bonfire Badge, at your service"


"Marvelous, so I can get a badge and get my so coveted vengeance at the same time! ha ha ha ^_^"



"...wasn't in the past?"


"Just shut it and let's head to your gym so I can do cruel things to you ^_^. Also, let's make it quick as I want to check if I can get new shitty electric rodents that fly in this area."​



"Well...here is the thing. I heard that there is some kind of abandoned temple here from where this music is supposed to come, so I thought I might as well open my gym there, since I like music and why not? But I can't seem to find it haha. So we will battle here! Just don't disturb the fairies and spirits of the woods and you will be fine trust me you won't want to disturb them. Also...erm...can we battle while running? I don't think staying put here is the best idea."​

You take a good while to check your surroundings and you notice the following aspects of the Woods:


- There is a water pond, grass source, some rocks and you can see the sky. And the sun is starting to raise and shine amid the treetops. Every move can be used here, with the sole exception of Fissure, as that will probably disturb the woods, and that would be bad. Also, you don't think you will manage to summon Hail or Sandstorm without the respective stones;
- Dense Woods means that spread moves (Surf, Hyper Voice, Lava Plume, Heat Wave, Blizzard, Rock Slide etc etc etc) won't....spread that easily. Also, the sturdy roots weaken the power of EQ, Bulldoze and Magnitude. Spread moves will have the damage dealt multiplied by 0.5 instead of just the bap by 0.75 when used in doubles+;
- No move or ability or item, with the sole exception of Fake Out, can Flinch. All pokemons are already scared enough at the Woods, they won't pay attention at trickery for the most part.
- You are in the middle of a forest, so Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with other "terrains".
- The battle occurs in movement, as both you and the dumb gym leader are trying to escape the dangerous woods. Because of that, hazards (Sticky Web, Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes) have no effect and moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, Magic Room, Trick Room, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, Sandstorm, Water sport, Mud sport have their duration lowered by 1 round/3 actions as they won't be able to keep up with you for that long.
- Fairies are everywhere and can be summoned at will by any pokemon for assistance. Every pokemon can use the move "dazzling gleam".
- The free spirits like being...well...free, and won't let any one take that from them. Because of that the ability "Air Lock" is negated by the wicked magic that is around. Be happy that you didn't turn into a pig.
- Finally, the forest seems so ominous that you can't help but worry about your own safety. You feel you should either use only one pokemon at a time and keep the others for protection or just send out many at once and maybe scare the local dangers with all the explosions. The Leader seems to not care either way. The Challenger can choose to do the battle in Singles or Triples format.


"You are quite the observer, haha. It seems that you are ready, so let's begin this. En Garde!"​


Summary
- All moves, except for Fissure, can be used. Hail and Sand can't be summoned without the respective stones.
- Instead of using the 0.75 BAP multiplier, the entire damage dealt by a spread move is multiplied by 0.5. So the formula is: ((BAP [Ignore standard spread modifier] *Screens + stuff - stuff)*Weakness/Resistance+Stat Stage Differences+Type-Specific-Item)*0.5 = Damage
- No flinches (except for fake out)
- Hazards are useless and other field effects's duration is lowered by 1 round/3 actions
- Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with others if needs be
- Every pokemon can use Dazzling Gleam.
- Air Lock has no effect.
- The challenger chooses if the battle will be singles or triples. Any challenge made without specifying the battle format will be considered illegal and will be ignored for all intentions and purposes.

Honorable Fire Gym Leader, has graciously waited for his challenger to respond in this battle. Which was well played by both sides, but someone had to win. And the winner today was Leethoof, who has proven time and again that he has got all the skill in the world to be a great Battler, Just doesn't have the time.

Gist: Leethoof wins the Fire Gym Challenge and receives the Bon Fire Badge from Frosty.
 

Mowtom

Also: Sujatha agreed to ref me and Gerard here, over a month ago. She has not been on for 3 weeks, and the battle isn't up, so I'm requesting a subref.

Arena: Lost Woods

Following the instructions of the Gym League people, you rent a Gogoat, mount it and enter a strange forest. "Search for the Sound of Music", the instructions said.

"What a lousy advice. How can I find Music in these Woods?" - You say to yourself.

Still, you heard that the Fire Gym was an easy target, so you move on. Somewhere in the trail, you feel...weird, as if you were not there anymore...or as if "there" wasn't there anymore.

"I knew I shouldn't have eaten those nachos..." - You speak loudly to yourself before dismissing the feeling entirely.

You and your rented Gogoat continue to move forward, following the trail. You can find footprints of many species...and yet you don't recognize any of them. Also, the woods seem to...shine? Despite being really late, there are enough sources of light around, allowing you to see your way quite clearly.

"Too many weird Fireflies here...well, at least it isn't dark" - you think. Well, aren't you naive?

After a good hour, the trail divides into two. Before falling to despair, you manage to hear a faint sound. A song of sorts. Well...strap me a bow and call me Snubbull, music in the woods. You decide to follow it and in no time you find...


GAAAAHHH!!!

You yell, after seeing the such an odd kid. Needless to say, your Gogoat fled before you could say "what the fuck".

"Heheh, Are you looking for someone, big guy?" - The kid asks.

"Erm...I am looking for the Fire Gym Leader." - You answer.

"I don't know any 'Fire Gym Leader', Tee Hee Heee! But if you want some fire, there is this guy here who has been wandering around for quite some time. He was with a strange Fox with Nine Tails and a Flaming big Pig. Maybe he is the one you are looking for? If so just follow the music." - The kid says.

After thanking the kid you follow the music, running as fast as you can for some time when suddenly...

THUD


"Ouch! That hurts! You should pay attention!"​

"Sorry! I was looking for the Fire Gym Leader. I was told by a very scary kid that he was here" - You say.


"Ah, then look no further, I am the guy you are looking for. I am Frosty, Fire Gym Leader, owner of the Bonfire Badge, at your service"​

"Awesome! Then let's head to your gym so I can defeat you!" - You say.


"Well...here is the thing. I heard that there is some kind of abandoned temple here from where this music is supposed to come, so I thought I might as well open my gym there, since I like music and why not? But I can't seem to find it haha. So we will battle here! Just don't disturb the fairies and spirits of the woods and you will be fine trust me you won't want to disturb them. Also...erm...can we battle while running? I don't think staying put here is the best idea."​

You take a good while to check your surroundings and you notice the following aspects of the Woods:


- There is a water pond, grass source, some rocks and you can see the sky. And the sun is starting to raise and shine amid the treetops. Every move can be used here, with the sole exception of Fissure, as that will probably disturb the woods, and that would be bad. Also, you don't think you will manage to summon Hail or Sandstorm without the respective stones;
- Dense Woods means that spread moves (Surf, Hyper Voice, Lava Plume, Heat Wave, Blizzard, Rock Slide etc etc etc) won't....spread that easily. Also, the sturdy roots weaken the power of EQ, Bulldoze and Magnitude. Spread moves will have the damage dealt multiplied by 0.5 instead of just the bap by 0.75 when used in doubles+;
- No move or ability or item, with the sole exception of Fake Out, can Flinch. All pokemons are already scared enough at the Woods, they won't pay attention at trickery for the most part.
- You are in the middle of a forest, so Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with other "terrains".
- The battle occurs in movement, as both you and the dumb gym leader are trying to escape the dangerous woods. Because of that, hazards (Sticky Web, Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes) have no effect and moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, Magic Room, Trick Room, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, Sandstorm, Water sport, Mud sport have their duration lowered by 1 round/3 actions as they won't be able to keep up with you for that long.
- Fairies are everywhere and can be summoned at will by any pokemon for assistance. Every pokemon can use the move "dazzling gleam".
- The free spirits like being...well...free, and won't let any one take that from them. Because of that the ability "Air Lock" is negated by the wicked magic that is around. Be happy that you didn't turn into a pig.
- Finally, the forest seems so ominous that you can't help but worry about your own safety. You feel you should either use only one pokemon at a time and keep the others for protection or just send out many at once and maybe scare the local dangers with all the explosions. The Leader seems to not care either way. The Challenger can choose to do the battle in Singles or Triples format.


"You are quite the observer, haha. It seems that you are ready, so let's begin this. En Garde!"​


Summary
- All moves, except for Fissure, can be used. Hail and Sand can't be summoned without the respective stones.
- Instead of using the 0.75 BAP multiplier, the entire damage dealt by a spread move is multiplied by 0.5. So the formula is: ((BAP [Ignore standard spread modifier] *Screens + stuff - stuff)*Weakness/Resistance+Stat Stage Differences+Type-Specific-Item)*0.5 = Damage
- No flinches (except for fake out)
- Hazards are useless and other field effects's duration is lowered by 1 round/3 actions
- Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with others if needs be
- Every pokemon can use Dazzling Gleam.
- Air Lock has no effect.
- The challenger chooses if the battle will be singles or triples. Any challenge made without specifying the battle format will be considered illegal and will be ignored for all intentions and purposes.

Look at my shiny CT!
Let it be known that it has been over a week since I agreed to referee Maxim and Avnomke and neither the gym leader nor the challenger has sent me their Pokemon. Maxim also has yet to send me his team for his fight with Mowtom.
 
I have nothing better to do, and I'm pretty sure he owes me a rematch anyways...

"It appears that the last time we challenged the leader, we got lost partway through the challenge... Now that we've just found ourselves again, everything is bound to go our way right guys??"


"Oh great, he FINALLY gets back and now he's delusional..."


"Heh, I like it... Let's do this."
