Challenging danmantincan

3v3 FE Singles
2 day DQ
2 Recover / 5 Chill

Arena: Sienna City Gym

Sienna City Gym

---

Arena: Sienna City Gym
Field Type: Fire
Complexity: Intense
Format: Singles / Doubles
Restrictions:
-No Weather
-No Digging
-No Seismic Moves
-No Water Source

Description:

Located in Sienna City just south of Route 9001, the Sienna City Gym focuses on the Fire-type above all else. The battlefield itself is found deep underground in a conveniently placed volcanic chamber. The field is roughly 20' x 20', and is suspended 15 feet over a magma pit by tempered steel girders. While the steel is fairly sturdy, using moves such as Magnitude and Earthquake will severely damage the structure, which means that those moves, as well as all like them, are banned for safety's sake. The main platform is also made of tempered steel, so Digging is impossible. Rock moves are usable, but as the only rocks around are molten, moves using them require 3 more energy to keep the rocks from melting. If a Pokemon is knocked into / falls into the lava, they lose 15 HP and have a 50% chance of being burned (unless they are Fire-type, in which case they only lose 10 HP, or the Pokemon has Flash Fire, in which case they suffer no damage but do not get the Flash Fire boost; in neither case can the Pokemon in question be burned). If the Pokemon has wings / can Fly or Teleport (not including Pokemon such as the Gliscor line or other Pokemon that cannot actually "fly"), they take no damage, but must use their next action to return to the platform, using 2/3 of the move's usual Energy cost. If this occurs after the last action of the round, the Pokemon will still return to the platform, but cannot move for the first action next round. At the end of each round, a jet of fire may erupt from underneath one of the Pokemon; this happens roughly 30% of the time. The damage done to the Pokemon will be given as follows:

If the Pokemon in question resists Fire 4x, they lose 3 HP.

If they resist 2x, they lose 5 HP.

If they are neutral to Fire, they lose 10 HP.

If they are 2x weak to Fire, they lose 15 HP.

If they are 4x weak to fire, they lose 20 HP.



If the Pokemon has the ability Flash Fire, they lose no HP, but do not gain the Flash Fire bonus.

And that's about it.

[Galladiator]

Go, Irwin! Show off the Sheer Force of your attacks!

[danmantincan]

Shinon, you're up. They can't beat a Sniper.

Enable Sheer Force, Dragon Dance, Crunch, Shadow Claw

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Thank God you didn't pick Moody, that's all I'm saying.

Team Galladiator:

Team danmantincan:

Shinon (Sniper)

Actions: Energy Ball~Charge Beam~Energy Ball

And this battle in a potential gym begins, with both competitors ironically using Water types, a) in a fire gym, and b) when both are candidates for the Fire Gym Leader! Irwin, Galladiator's Feraligatr, kicks things off with the Dragon Shuffle, boosting his offensive prowess considerably. Shinon, danmantincan's Octillery, prefers to just try and hammer his foe with super effective attacks, and a nature-tastic Energy Ball is the order of the day for him. Irwin sinks his jaws, dripping with evil energy, into his foe now, boosted by the Sheer Force of the blow. And unfortunately for Shinon, his marksmanship must be called into question, as his Charge Beam sails right over the croc's head, and he takes a swipe with a claw full of dark energy. Shinon goes back to what works, and hits Irwin with a second Energy Ball to finish the round. The arena remains silent, but for how long? Will this battle... *sunglasses* heat up?

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Um, question. Since I enabled SF last round, and haven't disabled it yet, shouldn't it still be on? I mean, I know it only makes a few HP difference, but still...

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I believe it has to be enabled/disabled every round.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Alchemator has informed me that I'm wrong, it's enabled until you say otherwise. Whoops. Fixing now.

In a last ditch effort to divert his foe, Irwin latches on to Shinon with his jaws, and flails him against the ground with all his might, before giving him a toss into the air! Unfortunately, Shinon has an absolute Deadeye (lolFireEmblemjokes), and connects with a double strength Bullet Seed, even if it does only hit twice, allowing him to KO the croc. But will the energy he's expended be worth it?
