Speed Order


Risky indeed Glacier. We've seen your vision of the round, but now we'll see exactly what happens....

Things immediately start off sour for Glacier, with Stratagem pummeling Krillowatt with a strong Earth Power that manages to score a critical hit! Krillowatt picks itself up and starts to carry out Glacier's plan by using Imprison to seal off several of Volcarona's moves. Volcarona, sensing an Encore coming from Machamp, launches a Heat Wave to batter Glacier's entire team. It seems that luck not on Glacier's side, as the wave manages to critically hit both Krillowatt and Xatu! Xatu does not like this, but proceeds with Glacier's plan and uses Confuse Ray on Arghonaut. This unfortunately doesn't work, as Arghonaut manages to shake through the confusion and Taunt Machamp by giving him the middle...tentacle?, preventing it from using Encore (and that crucial Wide Guard Glacier was planning!)

Glacier's plan just falls apart from here, as Stratagem follows up with a second Heat Wave, again scoring a crit on Xatu. Krillowatt is the first to shake off the heat, and retaliates by sending a burst of Muddy Water at Maxim's side of the field. The attack manages to hit all of its targets, but its effect fails to kick in. Poor Glacier :(. Volcarona then sends yet another Heat Wave across the field, damaging all of Glacier's Pokemon even further. Xatu, pissed off at this point, violently hurls Arghonaut with its Psychic powers, dealing quite a bit of damage to the heavy squid-pirate. Arghonaut, getting back up, shakes the entire arena with an Earthquake. Both Stratagem and Volcarona seem prepared for this and float up in to the air to avoid it, as does Xatu. Krillowatt and Machamp aren't so lucky however, and both take the force of the hit. It looks like Glacier is getting raped by Lady Luck even more though, as the move scores a crit on Machamp. Machamp then picks up some of the rubble and hurls it at Volcarona, which deals an impressive amount of damage to the moth. However, it's not enough to turn the tides of the battle. Glacier is clearly at a disadvantage right now. Can he pull things around, or has the RNG set him back too far to catch up?

And sorry Glacier... :(
