SimonSays and Kaxtar, 1v1, ASB Arena (With Items!)
 
So, we have a battle. It's a fast 1v1, it's at the ASB Arena, and...wait, items? Fun. Stuff.

The competitors:

In the red corner, with Fawkes the Eevee, SimonSays!

...


And in the blue corner, with Demi Gravidon the Gallade, Kaxtar!

...


Our conditions (/redundancy):

Arena and Conditions


And the order:

SimonSays sends out, reveals item choice
Kaxtar does the same, and then issues orders
SimonSays issues orders
Me rolling an RNG and typing stuff
Reverse, repeat.

GAME ON!!!

Ohh dear, it would appear that we have the disadvantag-what!?! Eevee is evolving!

Fawkes the ESPEON

It gains Confusion as a Pre-25 move!

Item? Nah, it's cool to be without.

Kaxtar Aug 26th, 2011 10:06:33 PM

I'll use a Razor claw. In addition to raising my crit stage by 1, the razor claw also raises the BP of Night Slash, Psycho Cut, X-Scissor and Slash by 3, so take this into account when doing damage calcs, please.

X-Scissor~Night Slash~X-Scissor

IF Espeon uses Yawn, THEN Magic Coat it and push actions back.

SimonSays Aug 26th, 2011 10:11:07 PM

=[ Not much of an improvement.

Shadow Ball ~ Sand Attack ~ Shadow Ball

Both trainers eagerly release their Pokemon into battle in the ASB arena, and immediately there is an air of excitement drifting about the battle. Fawkes, elated to be in another battle with her trainer, rewards him with an evolution into Espeon! When the white glow receded, Fawkes tested her new speed and abilities by launching a rapid Shadow Ball straight at Demi Gravidon, who skidded back a bit after bracing himself for the attack. In response, Gravidon rushed his opponent, drawing bladed arms and crossing them over the face of Fawkes in the form of an X-Scissor, really taking advantage of his items boost to inflict maximum damage!

Sensing the opportunity to take advantage of the closer distance between them, Fawkes kicked a good bit of Sand into the eyes of Gravidon, who looked mildly irritated at the accuracy lose, but not particularly devastated. This irritation (and some help from the Razor Claw), allowed Gravidon to strike her down with an exceedingly powerful Night Slash, which came upon Fawkes with a sinister aura before causing her to buckle under the intense pressure.

When she regained her footing, Fawkes began to realize the futility of accuracy reduction, and instead fired off another Shadow Ball, which was met with another furious X-Scissor from Gravidon in return!

SimonSays has the next actions!

SimonSays Aug 29th, 2011 7:51:56 AM

Losing? Check. But I think we lasted longer this way. Let's just go down swinging.

Wish ~ Shadow Ball/Confusion Combination
Aiming to hit it harder/more with the one Ball, or maybe even (using immense psychic energy), create multiples and fire them all.

Kaxtar Aug 29th, 2011 10:09:22 AM

Aerial Ace+X-Scissor Combo~Recover~X-Scissor

Nice Job Gallade, let's use a combo so that pesky accuracy drop doesn't get in our way.

IceBug Aug 29th, 2011 10:11:29 PM

As to be expected, the final round!

Fawkes prayed for some aid to come and heal her wounds, but faced defeat in the wake of Demi Gravidon's massively powerful and painfully accurate combination attack. Game, set, match!
