Here we go again! Looks like Maelstrom is preparing something but this round! Whatever it is we're going to have to wait to find out! But clearly whatever it is Boris wants no part of it, as he's using Detect to block it whenever it comes! And there it is! A massive Hydro Pump + Hydro Pump combo! Unfortunately, not only was Boris prepared for it, but it missed its mark as well! Looks like Boris protected himself for nothing, but at least he didn't have to use any extra energy for it!

After unleashing that combo Maelstrom needs to recover from it, which means Boris has a prime opportunity to put this away! And sure enough, he's taking advantage! There goes his bone again, and the Bonemerang hits its mark yet again! Maelstrom is just about out, but the Monohm still has some fight in him yet!

How will Maelstrom make use of what may be his last action? Looks like he's going to settle with slamming Boris with one final Hydro Pump! Now Boris can barely stand! But Boris isn't down just yet! And he's going for the KO with one more Bonemerang! But will it hit? It does! And Maelstrom crumples, knocked out and no longer able to battle! Now cbrevan only has Bambi the Deerling left, but with Boris on his last legs as well this match is definitely far from over!

LouisCyphre, you're up! (technically cbrevan has to send out, but since he has to send out Bambi for lack of any other option we can skip that step. Feel free to post the send-out for role playing purposes if you want though)

As Bambi the Deerling comes in to hopefully clean up for cbrevan, it'll be time to see who will win this matchup! Boris isn't ready to faint just yet though, and he's going to take this as far as it can go! Using Endure to brace himself, it's going to take a special effort to take him down this round! Oh, but it looks like cbrevan was prepared for this, and Bambi isn't going for the direct offense! Instead, he's launching a Leech Seed! The life sapped from that will eventually knock Boris out regardless of the Endure!

Boris looks like he only has one or two actions left, and it seems like Bambi is going to force the issue! Here comes the attack, a Facade! Boris endures the blow, but that Leech Seed will finish him off any second now! What is he going to do with his final action? Oh no! That's a Perish Song! Now all active Pokemon will faint in three rounds! But of course the Leech Seed activates and knocks out Boris, leaving Bambi with two rounds to finish off Ira, who is still at nearly full health! Can he pull off the upset or will Lou hand the new trainer his first loss?

I don't think we can get around that perish song, but at least we're go down fighting.

Bambi: Safeguard ~ Faint Attack ~ Faint Attack
If Ira is ordered to use Torment, use Wild Charge on A3.
If Ira is ordered to use Substitute on A1, use Faint Attack and push actions back

Stall isn't fun for either player, but it sure works when it works.

As Ira the Necturine comes back in for one more fight, can Bambi pull off the upset, or will the Perish Song claim his life? Wasting no time, Bambi rushes in and smacks the Necturine with a Faint Attack! That's a super-effective blow, but with Anticipation Ira still took it pretty well! It's going to take a lot more than that to finish off Ira! And now Ira is setting up a Substitute for good measure! That thing will take 25 HP of damage for Ira and stop Bambi from hitting it directly!

Now Bambi has no choice but to reevaluate the situation. Without any better options, it looks like he's going for a Safeguard! That'll keep him safe from status, but will it be enough? Doesn't seem likely, as now Ira is setting up an Ingrain! That will keep restoring Ira's health for a while, and make it that much harder for Bambi to break through!

Still, you can't call Bambi a quitter, and here he goes again, with another Faint Attack! But wait, it didn't connect! Ira pulled up a Protect just in the nick of time! And as Ira gets a bit more healing from the Ingrain, things are looking grim for Bambi and cbrevan. Can they pull off a miracle?

Now I honestly feel a bit guilty. No room for emotion in a gym leader's life, I suppose.

Ira - Torment | Protect | Chill
 
You did you best Bambi. We'll take this loss and learn from our mistakes.

Bambi: Faint Attack + Take Down ~ Cool Down (Faint Attack) ~ Faint Attack + Take Down
If unable to perform A1, use Faint Attack.
If unable to perorm A3, use Faint Attack
 
Unfortunately cbrevan, Torment in ASB also prevents you from using moves you used in the previous round, and from using those moves in a combo. That means this is going to be a wee bit painful to watch... (I would have allowed you to fix your orders but I'm pretty sure it's mathematically impossible for you to come out of this alive anyway, so I guess it's one final lesson for next time.)

It looks like Bambi is preparing to throw everything he has into one final desperation attack, but Ira wants none of that! She's gonna Torment Bambi and complete her stall setup, and sure enough Bambi failed to use Faint Attack + Take Down! That's probably all she wrote here, folks.

Just to make absolutely certain Bambi gets nowhere close to KOing her, Ira is throwing up a Protect, and sure enough Bambi has no choice but to Struggle helplessly against the shield. Bambi uses Struggle once more, and finally lands a hit on the substitute, but it's not nearly enough! Ira is just going to chill, knowing the end is nigh... And sure enough, the Perish Song finally activates, knocking out Bambi and ending the match!

Congratulations LouisCyphre!

Good game both of you! cbrevan, you may be interested in joining us in #capasb on IRC. I dunno if you know much about IRC, but it's really simple, just find a client to use (Mibbit.com is a browser client and is really simple to use), connect to SynIRC and then join #capasb. Knowing Lou he'll give you more info. Feel free to drop in and say hi!
 
The only reason you got locked into Perish Song was because you substituted for Protect instead of "protective actions" here. If you had done so, Boris would've been forced to Endure in order to try to take out Maelstrom, leaving Ira without a means to damage Bambi. I'd have had to Sketch your Faint Attack or something similar - it'd have been very close!

You're a capable battler, it seems; better than most newcomers. You took the appropriate (if the most straightforward and safest) action each round and didn't make any glaring mistakes except for the substitution, which is the fault of ASB mechanics and not yourself.

I think I look forward to your future battles...
