Team Tournament Match: Typon77 versus Alchemator

More Thundurus applause. The closer this tournament gets to the finals, the more energetic the crowd gets. Soon enough, it would be the finals, but naturally, we have to get through the relatively boring (though still enjoyable) parts.

"Welcome back everybody! Man it's good to see you guys again. Today I've got a match that's sure to be a close one. Are you all ready?!"

*Cheers*

After seeing these two pokemon out on the field, I have only a few comments. Honestly, both pokemon are pretty evenly matched. Metagross has a super effective move in Earthquake and much higher stats, but Krillowatt has the advantage of more health and Countercoat to discourage the simple spamming of Earthquake. Both trainers are going to have to be at the top of their game today if they want to take home the win.

The last thing we have is the coin flip. Now I'd use an actual coin but I don't really trust my methods at the moment (I've had people say that the result has to be flipped with the palm when it lands and I tend to prefer just the coin flip itself. I did the former last match)

RNG Roll for who goes first: [1=Alchemator, 2=Typon]=1=Alchemator

And with that, the RNG chooses Alchemator to order first. What will he do now? Stay tuned for the first round!

Maxim you never stated the switch rules

*facepalm*

Okay, since you two had differing opinions on what the switch rules will be, I'll roll for it

RNG for Switch Rules: [1=OK, 2=KO]=2=KO

Well, so it seems that Typon gets his way and it's a Switch=KO battle. Good luck.

Bump for Typon.

Although...on another note. There is a possible chance I will not have Internet this week due to going to Yellowstone. Thus there may be a delayed reffing, but I'll ref it when I get back. Thanks for understanding.

Round 1: About time.

Welcome everybody! It's time to finally get this tournament match on the road, now who's ready to rumble!?

*Cheers*

Alright, the match starts off with Krillowatt grabbing a bunch of mud and making a really sturdy Substitute out of it. It doesn't look at all like Krillowatt, but I don't think he's picky. Metagross couldn't care less about the substitute, and hits it with a devastating Earthquake that almost destroys it.

Safely behind his substitute for now, Krillowatt uses the time to launch a huge bolt of Thunder at Metagross, which does pretty reasonable damage. Metagross wants that sub to die, so he Bulldozes the ground the crush it once and for all. That's going to make things a bit annoying for old Krill.

The loss of the substitute sends Krillowatt into a bit of a panic, and in doing so he goes into the moat and uses the water to launch a giant Hydro Pump at the Metagross. Unfortunately, this did about as much damage as the Thunder. Metagross is really annoyed at this point, so he sends out another seismic wave that approaches the Krillowatt until it finally hits him underwater. That Earthquake is going to hurt I think.

Well, as we close this round, we see that both competitors are trying to do as much damage as possible. Alchemator's type advantage is aiding him immensely, but Krillowatt has the better HP count right now. Who will win? Stay tuned to find out!

Calculations

Scald -> Hydro Pump -> Hydro Pump
If Damaging Ground Move, Counter it, but only twice maximum.
If Protective/Evasive move, Chill and push back.

Round 2: Substitute conundrums

Welcome back everybody! This match has gone off to an explosive start, but can either trainer pull away from his competitor and start this match off with a decisive lead?

Well, Metagross certainly intends to do just that. First however, Krillowatt throws some Scalding water at it in an effort to burn it (and deal damage without messing with accuracy or energy penalty issues). Unfortunately he missed the burn, but it at least did a good chunk of damage. Metagross however uses some of the rubble from the arena to setup a really sturdy Substitute, it's gonna take a lot of strong hits to get past that.

Metagross then utilizes his Light Metal Ability to strike first with a devious Bulldoze attack, which does decent damage and lowers Krillowatt's Speed. This could be a problem for Typon, because with -1 speed, Krillowatt and Metagross speed tie! Krillowatt however was prepared for this maneuver, and manages to counter it spectacularly, dealing massive damage to the substitute. Unfortunately, the substitute barely held on.

While Krillowatt prepares itself for another attack, Metagross shakes the ground with yet another Earthquake, which takes off another large chunk of Krillowatt's health. Krillowatt uses yet another Counter attack that absolutely crushes the Substitute. This appears to be what Alch planned all along, as while it did a lot of damage to the substitute, it was close to breaking anyway thus cancelling out most of that damage.

As we conclude this round we find that Alchemator's plan seems to have mitigated the damage to his Metagross, while making Krillowatt's energy plummet and nullifying some of the damage. However, I think this might not have helped him all that much, as Krillowatt is still leading in the HP department and both pokemon are almost running out of energy. We'll have to see how this plays out next round!

Round 3: Demolition Derby

Hello everybody, welcome back to this explosive match between Alchemator and Typon (eh, no explosions yet but details...). Last we left them they were pummeling each other and are now neck and neck, especially since they speed tie now! What strategies will these two pull off to gain the upper hand?

Well, Krillowatt seems to have something going on in his mind, so he braces himself to Endure any hit. He may need it, as Metagross seems to be checking out the ground for places to use seismic attacks. After some searching and nodding its head, Metagross pummels the ground and Bulldozes Krillowatt. It appears he wasn't willing to risk the speed tie.

With Krillowatt now much slower than it, Metagross goes on the offensive with a devastating Earthquake that almost knocks out Krillowatt. This is not looking good for Krillowatt. However, he decides to attack with a nice Hydro Pump, and now Metagross isn't looking good as far as his health goes. This is getting tense!

Metagross, not seeing any reason to let up on the offensive, pounds the ground again to cause another Earthquake. The Krillowatt is sent flying through the air, and lands on the ground. Metagross starts doing a victory dance, but then Krillowatt gets right back up due to that Endure! However, instead of opting to attack, he instead Chills to regain some well needed energy.

As we conclude, it seems clear that Alchemator has pulled ahead ever so slightly. Personally though, I would've done another Hydro Pump or perhaps even Thunder instead of that chill, because unless Typon has a plan there's little stopping Alch from simply Bullet Punching for the KO. Will my prediction prove true? Find out when we come back!

Round 4: Jump Start

Welcome back, the two pokemon are staring each other down, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike and carry their master to victory. Sweat beads down each of their foreheads as they try to predict their opponent's movements. The crowd watches in anticipation, gripped to the edge of their seats.
In a mere flash, both pokemon move as if they were moving at the speed of sound. The Metagross armed with a lighting fast punch, and the Krillowatt armed with a stream of water. They close in on each other on the center of the field. The audience gasps, and in mere moments the two are standing on the opposite side of the field. The crowd wonders "Who struck first?". Both pokemon seem to stand strong, but after one of them plops down, the answer is clear.

Metagross

In one swift Bullet Punch, he has downed his opponent before he could even be hit. With Typon in a bit of a sticky situation, can he come back against Alchemator. Stay tuned to find out what he does next.

Round 5: Typon's Revenge

Welcome back everyone! Last round we witnessed Alchemator getting First Blood of the match by knocking out Tammy the Krillowatt. However, Metagross is now staring down against Colossoil. This should be quick.

And indeed it is, Colossoil Digs underground to avoid any shenanigans from Metagross, while Metagross tries and fails to trip him with a Grass Knot. Once Colossoil comes up, Metagross is down for the match!

As we wrap this up, we find that both battlers are still neck and neck in this matchup. Colossoil is only nine energy worse for wear from that confrontation, but has an advantage in hit points. If anything I'd say Typon has the advantage as of yet, but only time will tell who will come out of this engagement smelling like roses. Tune in next time to see what happens next!

E: Actually, stat boosts over Rank 5 only add 1, so Colossoil needed the Fake Out to kill me.

Fixed the energy issue, now I need Typon to post.
