Arena: Virtual Reality Room
This state-of-the-art Pokemon battling arena is located within a futuristic dome. The dome is actually a high-tech virtual reality device, capable of creating realistic scenery to depict real-life areas. There are currently four programmed areas of battle: a crisp, breezy meadow, a swimming hole, a sandy beach, and one last unknown vision that will be up to the referee. This last vision, however, has little impact in terms of benefiting or hampering battling Pokemon - this is meant to be a calm atmosphere. The scenery changes every two rounds to a random scenery. Every scenery must be visited at least once before the machine cycles again. There is a constant water source flowing for weaker Water attacks. While the grass may seem real, the floor is actually made of solid steel. There is no digging or seismic activity as a result.

Summary of Effects: Cycle between Meadow, Swimming Hole, Beach, and Unknown Scenery. Constant weak water source. No Dig / EQ / EP / Magnitude / Fissure.

Start over from DCMS if there are more than seven rounds.

Let's go, DCMS!

Let's get this show on the road! This arena is of my own design, so we should be at a pretty big advantage.

Go, Salmon the Slowpoke! Keep yourself at your Own Tempo!

Wait, so the water isn't real then??

Let's hit the pavement running, get 'em Pinster!

*clackclackclackdeathclackclack*

Hyper Cutter!

Let's get going Apollo, you're up.


Poliwag(*) Apollo (M)

Water Absorb

Grass Skirt, letz do dis!



Flarelm (*) Grass Skirt (M)

Leaf Guard

Start off by giving the Slowpoke a warning X-Scissor to lay off, then turn your attention to Flarelm.

If it hit you in the first round with any sort of attack, hit it back with Revenge. If it didn't Swords Dance.

Finish by giving it an X-Scissor too.

Sorry Darkslay, it's for the good of all of us.

Start off with Giga Drain on Apollo, then give Pinsir a good Fire Blast as he Swords Dances. Then hit Apollo with another Giga Drain.

Giga Drain~Fire Blast~Giga Drain

All right my excellent Salmon. You need to focus on team play here in this match, not sweeping. Therefore, this round, you will be a crippling force!

First off, I want you to use Thunder Wave on Apollo. It won't be able to dodge it, and the decrease in speed will come in handy soon. Then on the next turn, as Pinstir uses Swords Dance, use Yawn on his butt to decrease the time it has to attack later on. On the last turn, use Psychic on Pinstir to get some good damage in and throw him a good distance away from us, so that he'll have to take his time to get close to us if he wants to hit us.

If Poliwag uses Encore on Thunder Wave OR Yawn, simply just re-aim your attack at the other target for the following turn. You might be locked into one move, but you most certainly are not locked onto one target.

So:

Thunder Wave (Apollo) -> Yawn (Pinstir) -> Psychic (Pinster)
OR IF APOLLO USES ENCORE ON SALMON TRAPPING IT INTO TWAVE OR YAWN
Switch targets for the Encore'd move for the following turn

So DarkSlay thinks he can get away with using status against us with his pathetic speed? HA! Apollo let's be first to act and run straight for Salmon and use Hypnosis straight into his peerless eyes. You might feel the sting of the giga drain, but hold strong. Now let's get some revenge from that attack and hit Grass Skirt with Body Slam. Finish the round by using Hypnosis on Grass Skirt if he hasn't been paralyzed with Body Slam, otherwise use Scald on him.

Hypnosis (Salmon) -> Body Slam (Grass Skirt) -> Hypnosis (Grass Skirt) if he's not paralyzed, otherwise use Scald (Grass Skirt)

Round One Start!

Welcome to the Virtual Reality Room, where you can make your own scenery come to life. Admittedly, you cannot climb into your own treehouse or splash your feet in the dense, wet sand, but you can enjoy the aesthetic views. Of course, the scenery changes once in a while to get some variety, so you best enjoy the views while you can; it's going to be a long while to cycle back!

Let's meet our contestants today. On the north side of the dome, the "undefeatable duo" of smashlloyd20 and DarkSlay stand on levitating risers, confidently issuing actions to their Pokemon, Grass Skirt the Flarelm and Salmon the Slowpoke, respectively. On the south side of the dome, the challengers, Cartoons! and Midou stand on wooden crates full of porcelain dolls, giving their actions to their Pokemon, Pinstir the Pinsir (clickclack) and Apollo the Poliwag. Though they don't quite show it, it's quite clear that they're pretty nervous about their battle. Let's get to it, shall we?

Apollo jumps into action, waddling his way over to his fellow Water-type, Salmon, with surprising speed and agility. Staring into his oblivious white eyes, Apollo releases hypnotizing energy, lulling the slow Slowpoke into an extremely deep sleep. Pinstir runs over to the sleeping Salmon through the grassy meadow, avoiding the solitary virtual oak tree in the center. Stopping by Salmon, Pinstir holds up his hands until they glow bright white, then slashes down at the Slowpoke, who takes significant damage. Salmon's only response is to flip over onto her back and snore loudly. Irritated at the uselessness of his partner, Grass Skirt fires a red beam at Apollo, who takes a large amount of damage. Grass Skirt absorbs some of the damage dealt, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Apollo, quite stung by the attack, whirls around and waddles towards Grass Skirt. When a couple feet away, he launches himself at the unsuspecting Flarelm and tackles him with a full-body tackle. It deals a small amount of damage, but Grass Skirt just shakes the hit off. While Apollo is distracting Grass Skirt, Pinstir takes the opportunity to perform a spinning dance, as graceful as a killer bug can possibly be. As Pinstir continues to dance, Grass Skirt sidesteps Apollo and shoots a scorching burst of flames at the Pinsir. The spinning of the dance dissipates some of the flames, but the majority of the attack hits Pinstir right on, dealing an extremely large chunk of damage. While this is all going on, Salmon gets up groggily, takes a few steps forward, and falls flat on her face, drooling and snoring. It seems that she's not quite ready to get up yet.

Annoyed at the fact that he's not being counted as a threat, Apollo rushes right in front of Grass Skirt. Turning around, he stares deep into the Flarelm's amber eyes. Finally making eye contact, the Poliwag releases another burst of mystical energy, lulling Grass Skirt into a deep sleep, just as deep as Salmon's. Exhilarated at his partner's success, Pinstir turns his attention back to the sleeping Slowpoke, slashing diagonally with his spiky hands, dealing a significant amount of damage. Neither of their opponent's seem to react, sleeping soundly as smashlloyd20 and DarkSlay plead for them to wake up, their confidence quickly evaporating like a canteen of water in the desert. Unfortunately for them, their pleading does nothing.

Moments later the "unstoppable duo" stop making noises, Salmon yawns loudly and rolls to her feet. She doesn't feel as well as she was when she fell asleep; perhaps some horrid opponent had attacked her?

Round One End.

RNG got sleep-happy :p

MSDC.

e: I am an idiot. X-Scissor #2 is on Flarelm, not Slowpoke. It has been remedied, though the story will not be changed.

Heh, I always knew my pokemon to be lucky. Apollo you're quite the game-changer!

Battle plan for this round is to power up your water attacks and weaken Grass Skirts fire. If the Arena allows (big dome..), use Rain Dance. Follow up with Scald on Grass Skirt for both your 2nd and 3rd action. Be sure to always be between Salmon and Pinstir to absorb any water attacks! But just in case rain doesn't work, use Scald in 1st and 3rd actions and let's do a repeat performance for Salmon with Hypnosis in the 2nd.

Rain Dance -> Scald -> Scald (both Grass Skirt)

If rain impossible, use Scald (Grass Skirt) -> Hypnosis (Salmon) -> Scald (Grass Skirt)

Okay Grass Skirt, let's fight water with fire!

If you can, use Sunny Day after Apollo uses Rain Dance to make it sunny. Then hit Apollo with two Giga Drains. We need to get rid of that thing, now!

If weather fails, use Giga Drain first instead then hit Pinstir with a Fire Blast on your second action.

Sunny Day (After Apollo uses Rain Dance)~Giga Drain~Giga Drain

IF WEATHER FAILS

Giga Drain~Fire Blast~Giga Drain

Need to hurry this up. I'm really short on time, sorry.

Yawn (Pinsir) -> Slack Off -> Thunder Wave (Poliwag)

First, run to Salmon and shut its mouth with Bind before it can Yawn.

Now X-Scissor Grass Skirt and juice your Revenge with the pain of the flames.

I don't see how bright Sun could possibly affect the inside of the dome, and it's entirely implausible to have a Sun in the dome. No weather.

Round Two Start!

The Virtual Reality Room is actually a misnomer; it's not a room, it's a dome. Stretching many, many yards from end to end, it is designed to appear like a perfect hemisphere. Even the surface area of the roof is equivalent to 2pi(r^2), quite an astonishing feat. The inside of the dome has acquired some wear and tear, especially over the last round. With beams of light and blasts of fire, it seems that the maintenance crew is going to be doing some overtime work in order to get this place ready for the next battle.

However, our combatants today are blissfully unaware of this. Apollo hops back a short distance, opening his mouth to squirt a jet of boiling hot water at Grass Skirt. Grass Skirt takes some damage from the attack but continues to slumber on, unaware of the hit. Meanwhile, Salmon the Slowpoke gets up from her deep sleep, crawling lazily towards Pinstir. Just before she opens her mouth, Pinstir jumps forwards and lands with a crashing sound, binding Salmon's mouth shut with his spiky horn things on the top of his head. Salmon struggles to break out of the grip, but she is too weak.

Next, Apollo scampers over to Salmon and stares deep into her eyes in an effort to spot her from struggling against the grip of Pinstir. However, because the Pinsir is continuously blocking Apollo's view, only one eye maintains eye contact, lulling Salmon into a light sleep. Pinstir lets go of the napping Slowpoke and heads over to Grass Skirt, who is also sleeping. Holding his hands up high, he slashes them down diagonally, dealing a significant amount of damage. Both Grass Skirt and Salmon sleep for a while longer, then slowly get up and face their opponents.

Apollo the Poliwag turns around yet again, spraying another stream of scalding water at Grass Skirt. Grass Skirt takes some more damage, and the heat of the water actually burns the Flarelm! Pinstir quickly moves towards Grass Skirt and attacks it with a counterattacking strike. There really isn't anything to counterattack, though, so the attack doesn't deal too much damage. Grass Skirt attempts to retaliate by firing a red beam at Poliwag, which envelops it and drains health back to the Flarelm, who appears significantly healthier. Salmon decides not to engage in any combat, instead opting to send a small spark of electricity down the spine of Apollo, which paralyzes the nerves, severely crippling him.

Round Two End.

SCMD.

As soon as the Pokemon calm down, they quickly tense up again as the grass withers and the lone tree in the middle seems to melt to the ground. Moments later, sand is visible on the ground, beach umbrellas on folding chairs suddenly appear, and the sounds of ocean tides are loud. The arena has changed to "beach".

Also this is a BUMP so smashlloyd20 does not get DQ'ed.

We need to take out Pinstir, and FAST. Hit him with three Fire Blasts. If Apollo gets in the way, change your attack to Giga Drain on him.

Fire Blast~Fire Blast~Fire Blast
IF APOLLO TRIES TO GET IN THE WAY~Change action to Giga Drain

Well this is no good. Pinster, X-Scissor, Revenge and X-Scissor Grass Skirt, right back!

This'll hurt, but I know I can count on my partner for some assistance, yeah?

Since Midou hasn't been on for an extremely long time...

The team of smashlloyd20 and DarkSlay win!

Cartoons!, you can count this as a draw, since you did nothing to deserve a loss.

Each player gets 2TC, and each Pokemon that participated (Flarelm, Slowpoke, Poliwag, and Pinsir) gets one of each type of Pokemon Counter.

I obtain 2 RC.

Thanks to the active people. Stuff another battle in your queue!
