TalkingLion vs Son_of_Shadoo, 3v3 Singles (Ref: EndQuote, Tutor ref: Tortferngatr)
Don't look down, folks, today's battle seems to be on a sky-high platform!
If you suffer from vertigo, cheer up! At least it's not rainin- -THUNDER ROLL- Ah, crap. Before we get entirely soaked, let's take a moment to reflect on the rules.
The Rules
Also, I'll turn on the floodlights so we can see the arena properly...
The Thunderstorm Arena
Right, let's meet our two competitors! In one corner, the determined newcomer, TALKINGLION! Team:
Sparkplug the Elekid
Petals the Chikorita
Sumo the Makuhita
In the other corner, SON_OF_SHADOO looks ready for battle! Team:
Drain the Shellos
Quick side note: Shellos is a pure water-type, not water/ground. I changed it here, but you should probably change it on your profile and such.
Starman the Elgyem
Tough Nut the Ferroseed
Son_Of_Shadoo picked the arena, so I think he sends out first. SoS, you're up! |
Odd, I could swear it was Water/Ground. Thanks EQ.
Tough Nut, you're up first. You're the best match here I think. |
All right Sumo, show that Tough Nut that you're tougher. Start out with a Sand Attack so that he won't be able to see properly. Then, toughen yourself up with a Bulk Up. Finally, hit it hard with a Cross Chop!

I need a Grass STAB.
Protect >>> Leech Seed >>> Protect |
The Battle Begins...

As the round starts, both competitors release their Pokémon. Tough Nut spins nervously, worried about his type disadvantage, while Sumo cracks his knuckles ominously. Neither Pokémon seems particularly thrilled about being disarmingly high in the air, but both seem determined to battle! Sumo starts off the match by attempting to Attack Tough Nut with Sand, but the rain-washed metal platform is completely free of grit! That's right, folks, the move fails! Despite this, Tough Nut takes no chances and Protects himself, shielding his spiky body from nonexistent attacks! Sumo, looking worriedly at the worsening thunderstorm, flexes his muscles, Bulking himself Up for the trials ahead. Tough Nut takes the opportunity to sprout several Seeds that Leech Sumo's life force! The Makuhita struggles to free himself, but cannot escape the entangling vines! Tough Nut, sensing danger, Protects himself again! With a roar of exasperation, Sumo rushes across the platform, and attempts to hit the shielded Ferroseed, but the attack misses in his anger! As the round ends, a lightning bolt strikes the far end of the platform, making both battlers recoil instinctively. That was a close call, folks, but neither Pokémon seems injured. Let the fight continue!

I dun goofed.
I would like to switch out to Elgyem. TL, would you like to counterswitch, or stick it out? |
I'll stick it out for now. Sumo, attack Elgyem with Faint Attack three times, and try to do as much damage as you can.

Whoops, didn't see you'd posted. My apologies.

As the thunderstorm worsens, Sumo eyes his new foe suspiciously. The Elgyem's eyes flash, and it seems confident in his power. With a menacing little laugh, Starman analyzes Sumo, and Plots all the Nasty ways he could abuse his type-advantage. Sumo, enraged, somersaults into a powerful Faint Attack, sending Starman skidding across the field! Starman, clearly eager to avoid another blow, quickly Disables Sumo's Faint Attack! The Makuhita, oblivious to Starman's tricks, rushes forward and is unable to use Faint Attack! The poor fighting-type has lost his only super-effective move! Remembering his nasty plot, Starman picks up the struggling Makuhita, and throws him into the ground with his Psychic powers. Sumo, still trying to free himself from Leech Seed, tries to use Faint Attack, but the move fails again! As the round closes, both battlers spin away from the cloud as lightning strikes. The bolt of electricity electrifies the center of the arena, but Starman's psychic-type senses and Sumo's fighting-type reflexes keep both battlers from harm. As the rain continues to fall, Sumo seems exhausted, but determined to go on. Across form him, Starman contemplates his next move in silence.

Tortferngatr, observant as ever, has pointed out that the Data Audit Thread has a typo. Rank 3 is any base stat between 61-95. Elgyem has 85 base special attack. Starman should have Rank 3 Special Attack, not Rank 2 Special Attack. If there are any mistakes, feel free to tell me. Shadoo, you're up! |
Thanks, that's fixed now.
Wonderful job as ever Starman. Time to clean house. Psybeam >>> Psychic >>> Psychic If he uses Fake Out, push actions down. |
This doesn't look good for me... Sumo, Fake Out Starman to make it flinch. Then use Rock Slide. And finally, get your Revenge on it for using Psychic attacks on you.

Both battlers are now completely soaked, but seem determined to go on. As thunder rolls, the Pokémon eye one another from across the platform, awaiting their orders... Starman begins to focus on generating his next attack, but is interrupted as Sumo skids forward with a resounding Fake Out! Starman flinches from the shock, but the attack doesn't seem to have done very much damage! Eyes flashing, Starman calls upon his Psychic senses and launches a Psybeam at the exhausted Makuhita! Sumo winces from the attack, but still manages to struggle to his feet! He looks bewildered, folks, and seems to be trying to use Rock Slide! Unfortunately, the airborne platform remains just as devoid of rocks as ever, and the move fails! Pressing his advantage, Starman picks up Sumo with his Psychic senses, and slams the Makuhita into the ground repeatedly! Dazed, Sumo retaliates with a powerful Revenge! However, Starman's Psychic typing allows it to absorb most of the blow! As the round ends, lightning again fails to appear. Sumo seems exhausted, struggling to see through the pouring rain. Starman, smug as a Snivy, meditates and prepares himself for the next round.

You won't even live another attack, so... Focus Energy, followed by two Faint Attacks I guess.
|
Psybeam x3!

Considering there's only one attack, which I have already calced damage for, I think I can handle this round by myself.

Before Sumo can react, Starman, eyes glowing with a cosmic power, shoots a final Psybeam at the exhausted Makuhita! Sumo staggers from the blow, roaring in anger, before falling to the ground, KOed! Eyes flashing in victory, Starman awaits his next foe...

I think Sparkplug will be my best choice here.
|
This is where I realise I need two things on Starman. Toxic and Light Screen.
Psychic >>> Psychic >>> Psybeam If Light Screen is used, replace the current action with Nasty Plot ONCE and move actions down. |
Start off with a Thunder Wave, followed by a Meditate, and then show Starman your best ThunderPunch!

Tick tock.

I'm really sorry for the delay, guys.
If you want to find a subref, I totally understand. |
I am the one who you should be angry at. I'm checking the round now.

Ten days is way too long to wait, so I'm just going to post my pass at the round.
Tort's busy or something, so please understand that there may be mistakes. I'm really sorry for the delay, and thanks for being patient! Pre-round:

With one foe down, Starman turns to face his next foe, a determined Elekid named Sparkplug! Sparkplug seems to be enjoying the thunderstorm, bobbing his head in time with each thunder roll. Suddenly, Sparkplug leaps up, drawing energy from the storm clouds, and launches a powerful Thunder Wave at the surprised Elgyem! Starman has become paralyzed! Starman drops to the ground, trying to shake off the paralyzing energy, and manages to lock eyes with Sparkplug! The Elekid howls in anger, but is also paralyzed! That's right, folks, Synchronize has activated! Leaping upright again, Starman fires off a powerful Psychic attack, slamming Sparkplug against the railing! Sparkplug, crouching by the edge of the field, tries to calm himself with a Meditate, but cannot overcome his paralysis! Sensing an opportunity, Starman again uses Psychic forces to send the Elekid skidding! Sparkplug, struggling to his feet, charges forward and slams the Elgyem with a powerful Punch of Thunder! The blow is too much for Starman, who is fully paralyzed! As the round ends, both Pokémon turn to face the storm. Starman, sensing danger, tries to dive out of the way, but it's too late! A crackling bolt of lightning spears the Elgyem where he stands!
