(Gym) Leader Athenodoros vs C$FP

[Rediamond]

Match Two: Round Two: itp Athenodoros' sacrifices pay off again

Alright, so he can Illuminate/crit/etc HAX dogfish44 out of a win, and you would think that the water leader's goats would've run out, right? Wrong. So Krillowatt begins Operation: Blizzspam and huge waves of icy wind start tearing into Cyclohm, doing huge amounts of damage. Cyclohm replies by roaring the substitute away, showing that CMFP may still be able to outmaneuver and secure victory. And then he starts bide.

To any newcomers: Bide is the move that will cause most experienced players to shit themselves when they see that the opponent has ordered it against them.

Now, Athenodoros can't actually freeze-HAX C$FP out of a win because Cyclohm has Shield dust, as all sheep-cloud-dragons clearly do, and that blocks secondary effects. So, Blizzard misses. To sumarize how bad this is, on a 13% chance C$FP:

1) Lost 35 points worth of potential damage (net gain of 14, but whatever)
2) Lost an action going second.

Welp, I just have one question. Athenodoros, where do you get your goats from and can you give me advice on how to properly sacrifice them?

[Athenodoros]

Thankyou and goodnight, I'm here all week for goat killing lessons.

[C$FP]

yeah I'm quite boned

Bide (release), Thunder, Hidden Power
IF Mirror Coat A2 or A3, THEN chill and push actions back

we're gonna have to pull through in R3

[Athenodoros]

Earthquake ~ Blizzard ~ Chill

Let's hope this gets it done and we can get over to the tiebreaker.

Match Two Round Three: No Need for a Title

Cyclohm figures that this is pretty much done, but decides to go out spectacularly by roaring with incredibly power as a blast of energy is emitted from all three of its heads that smacks Krillowatt for incredible damage. Of course, compared to some of the other exchanges we've seen this match, it's not quite so incredible. But that's a different story. Krillowatt responds by unleashing a massive tremor that shakes the arena... kind of. It's not a very strong shrimp, so it really just makes the trainers try a little bit harder to stay balanced.

Krillowatt then unleashes a massive wave of ice that makes the dragon realize how pointless life is when its just one insignificant speck of a three-headed thundercloud dragon in a vast universe of cruel behemoths and Pokemon allowed to retain sheer force.

Oh, and then it faints.

Cyclohm: Bide: [(21)*1.75] 36.75 damage, 24.375 energy
Krillowatt: Earthquake: [(10+2-3)*1.5] 13.5 damage, 7 energy (7775 no crit)

Krillowatt: Blizzard: [(12+2)*1.5] 21 damage, 12 energy, KO (4774 hit, 6401 no crit)
Cyclohm fainted!

Both C$FP and Athenodoros PM me their Pokemon at which point I will post the third round in this thread.

Ready.

Set.

DRAW!

[Rediamond]

And the results are:

Slowking @ Enigma Berry

VS

Magnezone @ Magnet

1: Athenodoros orders first
2: C$FP orders first


1


Leader Athenodoros orders, C$FP orders

[Athenodoros]

So this looks like it basically can't be won unless you do something supremely stupid. Which is probably pretty unlikely. Still, here goes:

Mud Sport ~ Focus Blast ~ Earthquake
IF Metal Burst A2 or A3, use Chill
IF Thunder Wave AND he's not paralysed, use Magic Coat and move actions along

[C$FP]

Dear Focus Blast,
Please don't miss
Sincerely,
C$FP

Thunder, Mirror Coat, Magnet Rise
IF Focus Blast misses, THEN use Thunder
(supersedes above sub) IF Focus Blast misses AND Thunder paralyzes A1, THEN use Electro Ball A2

[Rediamond]

Match 3, Round One: A Change In Fortune

Magnezone and Slowking enter the battle, each primed to fight the gym match to its epic conclusion. Magnezone starts the engagement by using the gym leader's rain against him by creating a massive arc of energy with lethal accuracy that knocks Slowking down by almost a third of his health. Unimpressed by the light show, Slowking creates a small tremor that Magnezone easily floats over, but that stirs up mud all over the arena until it plasters the floor, walls, and both combatants. It doesn't look like Magnezone's offensive capabilities will be nearly so potent in the upcoming actions.

Slowking then takes initiative himself, and forms a powerful sphere of chi energy that he releases at an intense speed to blast Magnezone back several meters through the air before stopps. And spins. And glows. And blasts. A huge beam of energy slams into Slowking, knocking him back even further and outdamaging the electric assault from earlier, putting Slowking well under half his vitality a mere two attacks into the match.

Magnezone sees Slowking preparing a mighty tremor, and slowly repels himself higher, inches at time, until he is high above the rapidly shaking ground and churning waters below him as Nestor unleashes a fury from the Earth.

[C$FP]

this is going rather well so far, hopefully nothing goes wrong

Thunder, Thunderbolt, Thunder
IF Focus Blast AND you do not have a Substitute up, THEN Mirror Coat
IF Yawn AND you do not have a Substitute up already, THEN Substitute (15 HP) and push actions back

[Athenodoros]

I suspect that you've forgotten Mud Sport. Which means that I think that this should just work.

Earth Power ~ Earth Power ~ Earth Power + Earth Power

And if you parahax me A1 or A2 I'll rage.

EDIT: Actually, wait a sec

DOUBLEEDIT: So I'm assuming the -3 BAP for Earth Power only acts once on a combo (ie outside the *2.25 combo bonus). Otherwise I'd like to change my actions if possible.

TRIPLEEDIT: GFDI just a sec

QUADRUPLEEDIT: Just so it's clear, this won't work because by some weird twist of logic, Slowking doesn't get Earth Power. So now I'm just trying everything. But give me until tomorrow. I'm too tired now.

QUINTUPLEEDIT: Okay, we're alright:

Fire Blast + Fire Blast ~ Cool Down (Fire Blast + Fire Blast) ~ Fire Blast + Hyper Beam
IF the combo misses A1, use Dynamicpunch A3
IF you are fp'd, move actions along

Assuming FB+HB is a reasonable combo. Otherwise I'd like Fire Blast + Fire Blast if possible. Just that the accuracy is horrendous.

Match 2, Round 4: Athenodoros miscalculates... barely...

Magnezone is undettered by the mud, and blasts out an absurdly powerful pulse of thunder that lights up the sky, but ultimately is shrugged off by Slowking's protective coating of slime and his berry. Slowking then rears back his head and unleashes a massive burst of fire that makes the arena almost unlivable for a moment before the flames are extinguished by the rain, cooling things back down to tolerable levels, although Magnezone did not take the attack well.

As Slowking rests, Magnezone floats back to his position and shoots out another pulse of electricity that tears into Slowking, knocking his health back down, although not by much. Magnezone then makes a phenomenal display again with a thunder attack, as Slowking retaliates with another fire attack, this one an intensely hot beam that sears Magnezone... but doesn't actually kill. Instead, the magnet, through the rain and his sturdy nature, has hung on by a mere one hit point. It looks as if the match is over, as the mud is washed away and Slowking must sit back and watch events unfold for one action as he cools down.

[Athenodoros]

Sturdy.

gfdi

This is exactly why I got my new arena. You'd have fainted from a few different things there. Anyway, here we go:

Cool Down ~ Hail ~ Chill

ggs CMFP. Closest 'match' I've had a while.

[Athenodoros]

So apparently CMFP quit. I guess I'll have to DQ his one remaining HP to open up my queue so that fogdish can finally annihilate me like he wanted.

DQ Called

And don't worry guys, I checked it with myself first :)

[Pwnemon]

that was awful fucking convenient

[EspyOwner]

... Wow.
