(Completed) 1v1 Spectacular! Albinoloon vs. Box!

XVIcaliber · Oct 5th, 2011, 1:27:12 PM

Goooooooooood morning, ASB fans! This is XVI, at the ASB Arena, here today reffing another 1v1! This time, we're going to take a break from strongmon, bug squashing, or unfair matchups. Today is a calm battle, two NFE Pokemon fighting to make themselves stronger. How cute. Let's look at our conditions:

Challenge

Conditions

What a clear, concise battle we have in store today! This will sure be a good one! Let's take a closer look at our combatants:

In the red corner, on the side of Albinoloon...

Lofty the Drifloon

And in the blue corner, on the side of Box...

Kyuu the Vulpix

This is going to be a good one, I can tell. Here's how we're going to start things off:

-Albinoloon sends out Pokemon, selects Ability
-Box sends out Pokemon, selects Ability, issues actions
-Albinoloon issues actions
-Reffing occurs
-Reverse, rinse, repeat until a victor is declared!

BEGIN!

Box · Oct 5th, 2011, 1:51:19 PM

I'm so very excited, my first battle! Good luck albinoloon!

Albinoloon · Oct 5th, 2011, 6:06:32 PM

Yeah, the first battle is always the most important! Good luck to as well, Box!

Sending out Lofty the Drifloon with the newly-acquired Flare Boost ability!

Box · Oct 6th, 2011, 1:37:46 AM

Kyuu the Vulpix jumps over my head to challenge Lofty; her ability is (obviously) Flash Fire

Alright Kyuu, start off with a Confuse Ray to his face, let's make him Lofty in the head! Now that that's done, nail him with Toxic! Lets finish off the round with a powerful Fire Blast; aim dead center!

We best be cautious though, if he uses Rain Dance, we better get back behind a sub!

Confuse Ray - Toxic - Fire Blast

The first time Rain Dance is used, use Substitute (20) and move actions down.

XVIcaliber · Oct 6th, 2011, 3:39:49 AM

Be sure to define a value for your Substitute. A Substitute can either be 15, 20, or 25 HP.

Box · Oct 6th, 2011, 4:00:49 AM

Right, fixed.

Edit: Facepalm. I just realised Drifloon has Magic Coat.

Albinoloon · Oct 6th, 2011, 9:53:49 AM

Lofty just floats as he begins to craft a blessed wall; he does not require his trainer's orders.

Magic Coat - Magic Coat - Rain Dance

-Round 1 begin-

Today we have an interesting matchup in the ASB Arena. Neither of these Pokemon have a specific STAB type advantage against the other, and their Special Attack stats are equal. It'll definitely come down to movepools and skill in this battle, so it'll be a good one, guaranteed.

Apparently, Lofty already knows what to do! He sets up a Magic Coat to block incoming status moves, and in doing so, reflects Kyuu's Confuse Ray right back at her! On the bright side, the confusion was only Slight, so Kyuu doesn't have to waste too much time being confused. Lofty did a great job at reflecting that attack, but will the same trick work twice in a row?

I stand corrected, ASB fans! A second Magic Coat from Lofty reflects Kyuu's Toxic, which just happened to bypass her confusion! What a move, ladies and gentlemen! Kyuu will now take gradual damage at increasing intervals throughout the match! This is definitely not a good position for Kyuu to be in, folks.

To finish the round, Kyuu creates a Substitute, to prepare for the incoming rain. Good move from her trainer, but the fact that Kyuu is hiding being the Substitute afflicted with all these status conditions is still rather unsatisfactory. As Lofty baits the Substitute, he summons terrible rains that will ravage the arena for the next four rounds. Looks like Kyuu will have to resort to something other that Fire-type moves for this match.

Lofty emerges from the chaos of the first round unscathed, although missing a great heap of energy. Perhaps Kyuu can turn this bad situation around...? Tune in after the break!

Introductory Boring Math

Albinoloon issues first actions for round 2.

Albinoloon · Oct 7th, 2011, 8:24:24 AM

Lofty, you did great! Although our energy bank seems a bit dry. There is only one option now- attack!

Weather Ball - Hex - Weather Ball
if disable is used, replace that action with magic coat ONCE

Box · Oct 8th, 2011, 1:20:34 AM

Alright, let's get creative.

Vulpix, use Fire Spin to surround yourself with a wall of fire! Since Weather Ball draws it's power from it's surroundings, Fire Spin should evaporate all rain surrounding it as the sphere passes through, instead converting it into a Fire-type attack! Then, attack!

Fire Spin around Vulpix - Fire Spin Lofty - Fire Blast Lofty

If first move will not produce desired result (change Weather Ball's typing), use Fire Spin on Lofty - Fire Blast x2

XVIcaliber · Oct 8th, 2011, 3:16:03 PM

-Round 2 begin-

It's getting quite stormy over here at the ASB arena! We left off from last round with Kyuu behind a Substitute after all her status moves were reflected by Magic Coat. What a tragedy for her, but things might be looking up this round.

Kyuu begins the round by surrounding herself with a wall of flames, using Fire Spin. She (or, rather, her substitute) feels a bit less rain coming down now, with the fire shield up. It has such a potent effect that when Lofty's Weather Ball comes crashing towards Kyuu's substitute, the fire neutralizes the attack's typing, making it into a Normal-type move. The damage is still increased due to weather being active, but at least it wasn't super effective. Good move on Box's part, but the poison's damage is slowly increasing.

Seeing her previous success, Kyuu then surrounds Lofty in a Fire Spin, doing minimal damage and trapping the poor balloon in a circle of flame while dissipating the one around herself. The flames aren't extremely tall, though, so Lofty is able to stare directly into Kyuu's substitute and envelop it in the worst imaginable specters of pain and malice from Balloon Hades. The attack rips the Substitute to shreds, and now Kyuu is back in the fray, albeit a bit frightened from how powerful the Forbidden Balloon Curse can be. Lofty takes a small amount of damage at the end of the action, due to Fire Spin.

Kyuu's angry now, and she musters up all the fire she can to unleash a deadly (but hindered) Fire Blast at Lofty. Not only does the attack connect, but it also leaves the balloon with a rather harsh burn. With the Fire Blast, Kyuu's previous Fire Spin disappears. Lofty gets his revenge, though, with a second Weather Ball, typing unhindered by pathetic flame walls. The water-type assault does massive damage to Kyuu.

With Lofty and Kyuu both taking gradual damage, this battle could be one to the wire. Tune in next time for continued action, straight from the very rainy ASB Arena.

-Round 2 end-

Wonderful. I actually manage to burn him.

Let's get this over and done with Kyuu; you win some, you lose some eh?

Substitute (20) -> Fire Blast -> Fire Blast

BRING ITTTTT

Also, this has got to be the longest no-recoveries 1v1 ever.

Albinoloon · Oct 10th, 2011, 9:16:21 AM

Yeah... Drifloon isn't quite as strong as its movepool suggests...

no offence Lofty

on another note, since I was burned, Flare Boost has been activated

-Round 4 begin-

That was a good sleep, folks! Let's get back to this amazing battle at hand! Lofty and Kyuu stare each other down, knowing that the rain is almost over. This is the round to act! To victory!

Kyuu spits out a massive Fire Blast, that deals critical desperate damage to Lofty, but her trainer forgot one thing: the consecutive move use penalty! The attack uses up the last of her energy, and the valiant fox faints from exhaustion, declaring Lofty as the winner!

Exhausting Boring Math

GG to all! Box, you did really well for a first battle. That last substitution was technically valid, but could never have been activated since once a Pokemon reaches 0 energy, it faints. The use of Substitute really helped Kyuu out from Drifloon's myriad of status attacks, too. I have no doubt you'll get a lot better in the future.

Box and Albinoloon each receive 2 TC.

Lofty the Drifloon receives 1 EC and 2 MC, as well as 1 KOC.

Kyuu the Vulpix receives 1 EC, 2 MC, and 1 DC.

As the ref, I'll take my 2 RC and call it a day.

Albinoloon · Oct 10th, 2011, 7:57:07 PM

Good game, Box! Also, thanks for the great reffing!

Box · Oct 11th, 2011, 1:35:26 AM

This time, we're going to take a break from strongmon, bug squashing, or unfair matchups. Today is a calm battle, two NFE Pokemon fighting to make themselves stronger. How cute. Let's look at our conditions: Challenge Open Challenge 1v1 NFE Singles 2 chills/ 0 recoveries 2 day DQ Arena: ASB Arena Conditions I accept. Items: No Switch: KO Abilities: One What a clear, concise battle we have in store today! This will sure be a good one! Let's take a closer look at our combatants: In the red corner, on the side of Albinoloon... Lofty the Drifloon ***** Drifloon (Lofty[M]) Personality: Lofty is quite... arbitrairy in his actions. He will hardly use the same move twice, unless forced into a tricky situation suach as being taunted. Despite his cluelessness, Lofty is actually one of 3 rare Malumaer heteros. Most drifloon are born in their place of origin; the underwold. However, these heteros are born in the overworld through evaporation of a volatile chemicals. Although rare, their lack of their reflective pigment, which normal drifloon recieve, slowly burns their thin bodies. This is the result of their rarity. This particular one sank down to earth as soon as it was born. When Albinoloon was traveling beside a polluted sea to search for an arena, he noticed a tug on a particular doll-shaped keychain on his backpack. As he turned around, he noticed it was this mysetrious drifloon, whom came to be known as Lofty, for the way he seemed to float aimlessly. When training, he realized that Lofty had an extremely vast and photographic memory. Sadly, however, Lofty should not have a long life, because of his genetical ailment. Albinoloon knows this and is currently pondering on a solution to this grim problem. he plans to make Lofty the star pokemon on his team. Nature: Quiet (+SAtk; Base Spd/1.15; -15% evasion) Type: Ghost/Flying Ghost: Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes. Flying: Flying STAB; immunity to Ground attacks outside extremely odd circumstances even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Enhanced aerial mobility. Superior senses in open air arenas. Abilities: Aftermath: (Innate) If this Pokemon uses Selfdestruct or Explosion, the attack has ten (10) more Base Attack Power and five (5) more Energy Cost to execute. Unburden: (Innate) This Pokemon is incredibly possessive. If it uses or loses an item in battle its rage swells and its speed doubles (x2) until it receives another item. Flare Boost (UNLOCKED): (Innate) This Pokemon's Body can harness the heat from a burn into internal energy, fueling its mental capabilities. When Burned, the Pokemon's special attacks have two (2) more Base Attack Power. Stats: HP: 100 Atk: Rank 2 Def: Rank 2 SpA: Rank 3(+) SpD: Rank 2 Spe: 61 (-;70/1.15=10.8=61) Size Class: 1 Weight Class: 1 Rank Total: 11 EC: 5/6 MC: 0 DC: 5/5 Moves: Constrict Minimize Astonish Gust Focus Energy Payback Hex Stockpile Explosion Shadow Ball Hidden Power (Fighting 7) Thunder Wave Acrobatics Will 'o' Wisp Thunderbolt Double Team Suuny Day Rain Dance Hypnosis Clear Smog Disable Weather Ball Magic Coat Spite Move Total: 24 And in the blue corner, on the side of Box... Kyuu the Vulpix *Vulpix ()** Kyuu (Female) Nature: Modest (Special Attack increased by ; Attack decreased by ) Type: Fire Fire STAB; immune to burn, 50% reduction in freeze chance, emit a low glow in dark places, takes additional damage if active open flames are exposed to a water attack. Superior senses in volcanic or brushfire areas. Abilities: Flash Fire (Type: Innate) This Pokemon thrives in high temperatures, and takes the energy of any opposing fire attack, nullifies the damage, and uses the additional power to boost its own fire attack’s Base Attack Power by two (2). Self-targeted attacks do not give the boost. Drought (Type: Innate, DW Locked) When this Pokemon is sent out it summons blistering sunlight that scorches the field and does not end, expending 10% of its energy to do so. It can re-summon the effect mid-battle for 9% Energy with a command. Command: (Ability: Drought) Stats: HP: 90 Atk: Rank 1 (-) Def: Rank 2 SpA: Rank 3 (+) SpD: Rank 3 Spe: 65 Size Class: 1 Weight Class: 1 Base Rank Total: 14 EC: 0/6 MC: 0 DC: 0/5 Attacks (17 Total): Ember () Tail Whip() Roar() Quick Attack() Fire Spin() Will-o-Wisp() Confuse Ray() Imprison() Flame Burst() Flamethrower() Safeguard() Extrasensory() Energy Ball() Disable() Substitute() Toxic() Fire Blast() This is going to be a good one, I can tell.

Let's get back to this amazing battle at hand! Lofty and Kyuu stare each other down, knowing that the rain is almost over. This is the round to act! To victory! Kyuu spits out a massive Fire Blast, that deals critical desperate damage to Lofty, but her trainer forgot one thing: the consecutive move use penalty! The attack uses up the last of her energy, and the valiant fox faints from exhaustion, declaring Lofty as the winner! -Round 4 end- Lofty Type: Ghost/Flying HP: 33 Energy: 41 Status: Burned (2 DPA) Boosts/Drops: N/A vs. Kyuu Type: Fire HP: Tired out. Energy: 0 Status: N/A Boosts/Drops: N/A Exhausting Boring Math Kyuu Fire Blast x3 Lofty Hex x2 - Weather Ball Action 1 Kyuu used Fire Blast, hit confirms, crit succeeds, does 9 (BP-Rain) + 3 (STAB) + 3 (crit) + 1.5 (Ranks) = 17 damage to Lofty, -15 energy, Kyuu fainted from exhaustion GG to all! Box, you did really well for a first battle. That last substitution was technically valid, but could never have been activated since once a Pokemon reaches 0 energy, it faints. The use of Substitute really helped Kyuu out from Drifloon's myriad of status attacks, too. I have no doubt you'll get a lot better in the future. Box and Albinoloon each receive 2 TC. Lofty the Drifloon receives 1 EC and 2 MC, as well as 1 KOC. Kyuu the Vulpix receives 1 EC, 2 MC, and 1 DC. As the ref, I'll take my 2 RC and call it a day. __________________ All hail Honeybuns, Avatar of Peace and Happiness! Hopeful Future ASB Gym: Dark ASB Team! Ref profile!
