Witholding Actions until I know what our foe is holding. It's relevant.
 
"I keep forgetting Abilities, don't I?

"Fawkes, this fight is ours. I'm sorry I couldn't give you the advantage I was hoping to, but... We can pull through this. We can hit harder than he can. We can take more than he can. And he lacks familiarity: I've known you from when you were but an Egg. So today... Take it to him!"

Ability: Magic Bounce

Shadow Ball ~ Signal Beam ~ Shadow Ball
IF Foe uses Yawn, use Sunny Day and push actions back

EDIT: Well, it was worth a shot.
 
Alright, Xerox, we've hijacked her movepool, let's see what we can do.
Yawn is a bad idea, it would simply bounce back.

Signal Beam ~ Shadow Ball ~ Signal Beam

Final Destination
Well, here you finally are. The final trip on your journey, and that of many famous warriors. It's also a prime spot for the competitive nutcases that don't want any interference from the outside, but we'll not talk about that. You're on a flat platform in space where any elements for attacks are provided for you. That's it. Now there's nothing inbetween you and victory, except luck. This is the arena for the remainder of the battle.

I guess it's just going to come down to speed ties, Xerox!

Shadow Ball ~ Signal Beam + Signal Beam combo ~ Cooldown


IF Espeon uses Morning Sun AND you have 65 or less health, use Morning Sun on that action and replace all remaining actions with Signal Beam.

Round 9: All's Fair in Love and War Assets

"Sorry, can't ref your match, I have a galaxy to save from the Reapers."

"Uh, you need to ref the match you idiot."

"NO"

"I'll give you war assets if you do."

"...Fine."

Welcome back folks, we're here at Final Destination, and End Quote and Simon Says are neck and neck. Who will win? It seems only luck will decide.

Ditto opens up this round with a devastating Shadow Ball that hits Espeon in a soft spot, it's a critical hit. Simon Says seems to have some kind of strategy going on, as he orders Espeon to make a wish for more health. Plenty of stars to wish upon here...

Espeon doesn't seem to like the prospect of a Signal Beam combo, so he absorbs the rays of the nearest star in a Morning Sun. To comply with his trainers orders, Ditto absorbs some of the star's rays himself. Simon may have dodged a bullet there.

Espeon gets the next move again, and decides to spend it by sending a Shadow Ball in retaliation for that piece of hax, which does massive damage to Ditto, who responds in return with a Signal Beam.

I don't know about you guys, but Simon Says' awesome strategy seems to have backfired, he has less health and energy than his opponent.

"Don't forget, Simon has a wish, and he didn't get destroyed by the Signal Beam combo that Ditto was preparing."

"I suppose you have a point there. Now where's my war asset?"

"Oh yeah, that. Well, here you go, fight the Reapers with this herring!

....why are you looking at me with murderous intent..."

"YOU JERK! *chases Volcarona off the stage with a golden hammer*"

Yikes, Xerox, we may have met our match.
However, if my calcs are correct, we could be able to force a win on energy...

Signal Beam + Signal Beam combo ~ Cooldown ~ Shadow Ball

This is going to be one dramatic explosion.

Round 10: The Final Battle

(Yeah...I have no freaking clue on the "correct" way to do this, so here goes nothing.)

And so it ends...

Both pokemon see each other charging up a massive attack, the real Espeon making an Orb of Darkness, and the copy Espeon making a Signal Laser. The attacks collide, and the explosion is so huge that it engulfs both pokemon in a bug and ghost medley. Both pokemon are really hurting from that. But what's this, it seems Espeon's Wish came true! Now Simon Says has a rather lengthy lead over his opponent.

It seems like the win will go to whomever goes first, wait, no it doesn't because Espeon ran completely out of energy after that attack. That means End Quote Wins! (Funny how we went from SS wins, to draw, then to EQ win...)

Just then.

"Well, that's a wrap folks...wait"

*Maxim's Bedroom*

"You mean to tell me that was all a dream?"

Have a nice day!
 
Hate to be a bother, but, because Espeon used Shadow Ball action three last round, shouldn't she be KOed by energy exhaustion?
 
From my experience, a combo, even if it contains the same move as a move after it, counts as a completely different move in terms of energy cost.

Anyone in authority want to confirm this? :/
 
I'm not in authority, but from what I asked about combos earlier, if commands given are Flamethrower - Combo: Flamethrower + Flamethrower - Cooldown, then the first Flamethrower costs 7 energy and the combo costs (11+15)*2=52 energy. From that, I would say that combos do not count as completely different moves as far as consecutive use energy penalty goes, and that Espeon would faint from energy exhaustion.
 
It was close, EndQuote. Truly trying. And yeah, I'll agree with Objection on this one. Or, as an alternate, we exploded the arena and it ends with a draw? =]
 
Sorry, but I think Espeon would faint earlier than that.
Energy Cost = (EC + (EC+4))*2
The Energy Cost of Shadow Ball is 6, plus 4 from consecutive move penalty.
(10+(10+4))*2=48
Espeon's only got 41 energy.
 
Well, apparently you're right, which made my calcs all but useless. You win.

EDIT: Wait a minute...that means the rewards are all screwed up...I'll fix them but I'm not sure how that's going to go down in the Prize Claiming thread...
