Cliffside Combat! 3v3 Triples, Athendoros vs Shiny Umbreon (Ref: IceBug)
 

Not often do I get a chance to ref in pretty places like this...the hum of the waterfall, the swirling patterns of the rock...can we PLEASE try not to collapse all of this while we're standing on it?

Regardless, we have a 3v3 Triples between The Shiny Umbreon and Athenodoros, and as soon as I finish reading the rules for triples combat, we can begin!

The Shiny Umbreon's Team:






Athenodoros' Team:






So, here's how the match order will go:

The Shiny Umbreon posts abilities and locations (left, center, right).
Athenodoros posts abilities, locations relative to his opponents ("across from ____ is ____"), and gives first actions.
Shiny Umbreon responds with actions.
I watch all of your pokemon try to throw each other off the cliff side.
Reverse orders, reffing, eventual winning.

Without further ramblings, BEGIN!

[LEFT] Katoptris (Levitate) - Cappy (Adaptability) - Nita (Tinted Lens) [RIGHT]

Let's do this!

Opposite Katoptris - Nestor (Own Tempo)
Centre - Loki (Levitate)
Opposite Nita - Mars (Poison Point)

Right guys, this should be a good battle. I think we'll work on giving Loki centre stage, because he hasn't really had a big battle yet. Off you go, guys!

Loki: Taunt (Bronzor) => Hypnosis (Venonat)
Nestor: Flamethrower *2 (Bronzong) - If Flamethrower is Disabled or somesuch, Disable the Disable
Mars: Double Kick *2 (Eevee) - If Double Kick is Disabled or somesuch, Disable the Disable.

Katoptris, start off with Payback on Loki, then use Charge Beam on Nestor.

Cappy, you're a critical Pokémon in this fight, let's deal some damage early! Use Fake Tears on Nestor, then hit him with a Shadow Ball!

Nita, use Psychic on Nestor, then Disable Mars' Double Kick!

Huzzah! I have a Triples reffing format now! And a moment of hope for my internet connection! The fun can now begin!

With a myriad of pretty slow Pokemon hitting the field to start, Loki the Gastly took advantage of his speed to quickly Taunt Katoptris, forcing the little bronze shield into an uncomfortable attacking role for the next several rounds. Cappy was next to move, and began...crying? Cappy, no one has even looked at you funny yet (well, except Nestor, but Slowpoke look at EVERYONE funny)! Clearly, those were Fake Tears, but it appears Loki has dropped his guard a bit to check to make sure his opponent is okay! Following after her teammate, Nita attempted a Psychic attack, but her target was too far away to reach telekinectically (remember, most single target moves only reach the middle and the Pokemon across from you, not the opposite ends)! Mars, not feeling the least bit sorry from the bauling Eevee, Double Kicked him for a bit of damage, while Katoptris used Payback against Loki, using some bad karma from the earlier Taunt as a few to make the strike hit even harder! A few minutes later, Nestor realized that there was a battle going on, and somehow managed to light a fire deep in his belly to blast Katoptris with a Flamethrower! The flames did a good deal of damage to the shield, who had a hard time properly expressing emotion without pronounced facial features!

While Katoptris burned, Loki flew in close to Nita, staring deep into the red, swirling void of her eyes to try to lull her to sleep with Hypnosis! Apparently, though, he focused on the wrong part of the bug's multi-lensed eyes and the attack failed to do anything of note...except put Loki at point blank range for a Shadow Ball from Cappy, which, after already taking Loki for surprise with his tears last turn, managed to add insult to injury by dropping his Sp. Defense even further! Nita, in an effort to protect her teammate from any further kicking, launched a memory erasing pulse at Mars, Disabling him to the point of forgetting how to use his legs for anything outside of basic motor function! But, in a shocking twist, the pulse was quickly rebounded back towards Nita, who, when struck, forgot how to erase memories! That's right, a Disable Disable! Katoptris was finished melting and threw a counterattack back at Nestor with an electrified Charge Beam, and true to its namesake, the beam juiced up the Bronzor with a boost to its Sp. Attack. And, last but not least, Nestor, clearly not over his heartburn quite yet, blasted out another red hot Flamethrower at Katoptris, who was likely not going to be done catching fire this match any time soon with Nestor still breathing!

Calculations:


Shiny Umbreon has next actions!

(Damn, I meant Loki. Ah well.)

Katoptris, use Charge Beam against Nestor, then Extrasensory on Loki! If Loki has fainted, use Earthquake instead.

Cappy, use Fake Tears on Loki, then Shadow Ball. If Loki faints, use it on Nestor instead.

Nita, use Psychic on Mars, and try to throw him off the cliff! Then use Psybeam on Loki if he's still alive, or on Mars if Loki isn't.

(Also, I just realized that our layouts are both Psychic - Normal/Ghost (shared immunity) - Poison. That's cool.)

Alright guys, I think that we're missing some of the movepool that we'd need to win this, so I think it is time for the failsafe:

Loki: Perish Song => Shadow Ball (Bronzor)
Mars: Ice Beam (Eevee) => Venoshock (Eevee)
Nestor: Flamethrower (Bronzor) * 2

Flavorless...for now. Coming back around to spice it up after I finish the last of my reffing backlog. Thank you for your patience, go ahead and start up your next actions!

Perish Song kills everyone in two more rounds!

Calculations:


Athenodoros has next actions!

Well, at least we got Perish Song off.Now we can just scramble for KO Counters:

Slowpoke: Flamethrower (Bronzor) => Surf (Which can only hit Eevee and Bronzor)
Nidoran: Ice Beam (Eevee) => Thunderbolt (Eevee)

That was both evil and vindictive. I'm very impressed.

Cappy, I'm going to ask you to Bodyblock Katoptris, then use Detect.

Katoptris, get off as many Earthquakes as you can. Make this cliff collapse!

Nita, use Psychic to throw Mars against the ground, weakening it slightly, then use it again!

Here comes C$FP! And I see what you meant when you said there were three more rounds to ref. I was wondering why you were so exact... Also, I really do not enjoy following other people's formats, they seem so unnecessary.

Nita, Psychic Mars twice.
Katoptris, use Hypnosis on Nestor twice.
Cappy, Bodyblock Katoptris again, then Detect.

Alright, at least we'll still be alive at the end of this:

Nestor: Psychic (Katoptris) => Flamethrower (Katoptris)
Mars: Venoshock (Cappy) => Flamethrower (Nita)

Well done guys, and gg Shiny Umbreon.

Cappy starts this round off by Bodyblocking Katoptris, ready to take extra hits. Nita focuses her Psychic powers and attacks Mars, and this is too much for Mars, and Mars faints. Katoptris tries to Hypnotize Nestor, but just barely misses. Nestor uses Psychic powers to attack Katoptris, but Cappy is in the way and takes the hit. Cappy tries to avoid taking any more hits by Detecting any moves coming, but Cappy doesn't detect anything. Nita wants to attack Mars with Psychic powers, but instead attacks Nestor, the one who is still standing. Katoptris once again tries to Hypnotize Nestor, and this time gets it right. Nestor just has a quick nap, but then everyone suddenly collapses. THE END.

Calculations


Everything is KOed, I just wanted to show how much energy and HP everything had if you guys were wondering. I believe this is a tie, so GG to both players! Claims:

The Shiny Umbreon:
2 TC.
Katoptris (Bronzor), Cappy (Eevee), and Nita (Venonat) each get 1 EC, 2 MC, and 1 DC.
Nita gets 2 KOC (I give her credit for KOing Nestor).
Whatever KOed Loki gets 1 KOC (I really can't tell).

Athenodoros:
2 TC.
Nestor (Slowpoke), Loki (Gastly), and Mars (NidoranM) each get 1 EC, 2 MC, and 1 DC.
Loki gets 3 KOC.

IceBug gets 1 RT.

C$FP gets 5 RT.

I think it was Nita too, actually. Which is pretty impressive.

Good game, Athenodoros, That (evil) Perish Song gambit was impressive.

:)

Thanks guys, it was fun. gg
