Wendy the Chikorita

---

Chikorita - Wendy (F)

They say the calmest waters often hide the most turbulent undercurrents, the stillest air often the premonition to the most terrible storms. So does Wendy. She's nice and pretty, often the team's peacemaker (pacemaker too), but her spirit is indomitable. In battle, Wendy wields the very force of nature itself - the plants and the wind that blows between leaves are her primary defences. Wendy is very trusting of strangers, despite Charla's frequent rebulks, but the fact that they're inseparable makes most Daycare visitors hesitate - except for Zheng. Wendy looks upon Natsu and Gray as big brothers, and they respond in kind - protective of their siblings as if of the same lineage.

Nature: Calm (+1 SpD, -1 Atk)

Type:
Grass type: Grass STAB; immunity to Leech Seed and Worry Seed. 50% reduction in status effect chance of oncoming "powder" attacks. More mobile in areas with strong natural light sources. Superior senses in tall grass and forest areas. Able to use Wrap and Bind without losing focus.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Overgrow
Type: Innate
When this Pokemon’s HP is lower than 33% (flat), the Base Attack Power of any grass attack is increased by two (2).

Ability 2: Leaf Guard (DW)
Type: Innate
In bright sunlight, the Pokemon is surrounded by a faint green glow. The glow protects it from all permanent and temporary status conditions.

Erza the Rebble

---

Rebble - Erza (F)

A swordsman wields the blade with graceful precision, just as Erza uses her attacks with dangerous beauty. She walked in on one of Gray and Natsu’s brawls, and the resulting free-for-all wore on for half a day before Zheng can subdue her with a Pokeball. Unknowingly for her, that fight left a lasting impression on the two – they’re cautious almost to the point of fearful whenever in her company since then. Wendy and Charla looks up to her as a role model, though, and it was Erza who took care of them, even though she was newer to the family.

Nature: Modest (+1 SpA, -1 Atk)

Type:
Rock type: Rock STAB; Take 2 less damage from all special attacks during Sandstorm. Able to use Sand Tomb without losing focus.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Levitate
Type: Innate
This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading certain seismic moves such as Earthquake, Bulldoze, and Magnitude. Other Ground moves can still hit.

Ability 2: Technician
Type: Innate
This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally deal 6 or below base damage to have their base damage multiplied by 1.5. The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) damage, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2).

Ability 3: Mold Breaker (DW)
Type: Innate
Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Lucy the Ralts

---

Ralts - Lucy (F)

Born without a family in the wild, Lucy’s life has been fraught with peril of being hunted and bullied by most other wild, stronger Pokemon. One such incident left her under severe shock from poison by an unknown aggressive Poison-type. Had a trainer not happened by, she would’ve died or at best, crippled for life. Luckily, Zheng was the second trainer to found her, called by a fellow trainer who was looking for mushrooms in that region. Together they saved the Ralts, and after s brief discussion Zheng named her Lucy and brought her into his family. Gray was the first to be able to contact directly with her, but it was through efforts and enthusiasm of the whole gang that brought her out of trauma and into life again.


Nature: Relaxed (+1 Def, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)

Type:
Psyichic type: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks, however, cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Synchronize
Type: Innate
This Pokemon can mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokemon and pass on any status inflicted on them to their foe. Poison-types cannot be poisoned and Fire-types cannot be burned in this manner.

Ability 2: Trace
Type: Can be Activated
When entering into battle, this Pokemon can copy an ability on one of its opponents for 6 EN. The Ability remains on the Pokemon for six (6) actions. Trace can be reused with an action later in battle for 5 EN.Wonder Guard cannot be Traced.

Ability 3: Telepathy (DW)
Type: Innate
This Pokemon creates a mental link with its allies in multiple allies, allowing it to avoid taking damage from attacks that affect the whole field like Earthquake and Surf.

Stats:
HP: 90
Atk: Rank 1
Def: Rank 2 (+)

Shinx [Mufasa] (Male)
Nature: Naive (+15% Speed, +9% Accuracy, -1 SpD)
Type:
Electric: Electric STAB; 50% reduction in paralysis chance from other electrical attacks, perfect accuracy and 30% chance of Protect breaking Thunder during Rain. Superior senses in power plant environments.

Abilities:
Rivalry: (Innate) This Pokemon has a primal response to competition and mating, increasing the Base Attack Power of all its attacks by two (2) when it attacks an opponent of the same gender, and decreasing the power of all its attacks by two (2) when it attacks an opponent of the opposite gender.
Intimidate: (Can be Activated) When this Pokemon initially goes out into the battlefield, it generates an intimidating roar or war cry that shakes all opponents on the battlefield, reducing their Attack stage by one (1). The attack drop is maintained at the end of each round. If an opponent switches in a new Pokemon, Intimidate can be activated again as an Action, and will affect all opponents.
Guts: (Innate) (DW) [Locked] This Pokemon is tenacious and will work ever harder when under a status condition, raising the Base Attack Power of all its physical attacks by two (2). Pokemon with Guts ignore the attack drop from burn.

"I guess it makes sense to come prepared. Very well, shall we begin?"


"Mufasa, go! Show them how it's done."

[ZhengTann]

Phalanx - If you happen to have any Training Items, you can put them before Yarnus starts reffing (i.e. when you order). Anyways, sorry Lucy, you'll have to sit this one out. Them two guys over there have some nasty teeth, and we don't want to get your new skirt torn up. Erza, take the field. Show them what we've got with a good Technician booster. Start by coating Mufasa-Shinx in mud - that'll dampen his electrical forces considerably. Next, try and see if you can burn him.


"Understood. Don't worry, guys - time to show them what we've got."

Mud Shot > Flamethrower > Mud Shot

[ThePhalanx]

Not to worry, ZT, I don't have any items.

"Ugh, this is going to hurt. A LOT. *Cringe* Time to get the hell out of here. We need to get rid of this Rebble quickly or our team will fall to repeated Ground-type attacks. Be brave, Mufasa, be brave!"

Wish I had given Protect to this thing...

@below: Almost? If my calculations are correct, we'll see about that...

[ZhengTann]

Congratulations, that was impressive. Such brute strength means that Rampant will almost KO Erza. But not yet, and that raw power comes with a price - you simply cannot hope to dodge against Mud Shot, unlike last round with lucky Mufasa. Erza is not one to back down - no, we'll give this stubborn fossil a taste of what we can do, shall we?


"Next time, think before you act - blind force will not help you here!"

Again, I miscalculated, but Erza's the one who paid the price for my mistake...

"No, Zheng... this is not over yet. Erza may be... down, but she left me a gift - the ability to act first."

Reflect > PoisonPowder > Magical Leaf

EDIT: Yarnus, you forgot to calculate Technician boost on Rebble's Mud Shot, so Cranidos should've taken 18 damage A3 and be left with 50 HP after the round. Also, don't forget that Cranidos now has -1 Speed.

[ThePhalanx]

"Well, that Rebble is gone at last, at the cost of half the health of both my team members. In this weakened state, it will be extremely hard to take down that Chikorita, especially with a Reflect up. But, believe me, we will try!"

[ZhengTann]

Just a few minor nitpicks before Phalanx orders - Magical Leaf A3 is done with R2 Chikorita against R2 Cranidos, so it should've only dealt (9+3)*1.5 = 13.5 damage, plus 4 Poison damage to leave Cranidos at 32 HP post-round. Also, Chikorita should be at -1 Speed now, though I doubt it'll affect anything the rest of the match.

[ThePhalanx]

Did I really miss both Rock Slides?
Anyhow, I'm in a hurry, so...

Iron Head - Rock Slide - Rock Slide

If Chikorita uses Counter, replace action with Ice Beam the first time only.
If Chikorita uses Protect, replace action with Chill.

Hope we can get some flinches...

[ZhengTann]

Alright, it seems you've predicted against the obvious strategy... But Wendy isn't a brute fighter. She's a guardian, a healer... A pacemaker.


"Flinching me, even if more than once? You have less than even chance to succeed with that."

Magical Leaf > Protect > Magical Leaf
IF Chikorita is Flinched, THEN move actions backwards.

I'm sorry for my lateness, it's done now.

[ZhengTann]

Hmm, took one more round than planned, but we can work with that, can't we? After all, this puts us at a slight advantage when Mufasa-Shinx comes out.


"Rest now, and calm your tantrum."

Magical Leaf > Reflect > Chill
IF Wendy-Chikorita is Flinched A1, THEN replace A3 with Magical Leaf.

[ThePhalanx]

"Oh no you don't. You're taking me out this round - no Reflect for you."


Hammer Arm - Rock Slide + Rock Slide - Cooldown (Rock Slide + Rock Slide)

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Hammer Arm misses (10/10) and Magical Leaf KOs for 3 en.

[ThePhalanx]

God why do I keep missing these - it's happened like three times this week. Geez.


"This will be very tough - but I know you can do it!"


Fire Fang - Ice Fang - Fire Fang
If Chikorita uses Counter, replace with Volt Switch
If Chikorita uses Protect, replace with Charge

[ZhengTann]

Again, let's make a bet - after all, our opponent is a gambler who tosses the coin, and the odds are with us once again. Wendy, start off with a Reflect to ward off future attacks. That should last us long enough to wear Mufasa down. Follow up some good ol' spores to score Mufasa, then let's take us back to where we started with some good Synthesis healing.


"He can only attack, but his weak spot opens up many options for us. This I can use."
