Battle! Dogfish44 vs Danmantican (ref: Zarator)

Many Pokémon involved, unusual clauses from both battlers, peculiar arena... this sure looks like an interesting battle!

4v4 Singles
DQ Time: 1 Day
Restricted moves: None

Arena: Improbability vortex

An arena in a space simulation dome, with 0 gravity, but plenty of oxygen. The room is sealed from weather, and the outside of the wall is indestructable and impassible by ALL means, including teleportation. Inside the room is a suspended Sperm Whale still identifying several body parts, and 42 bowls of petunias which don't move, and can be used as launch pads, or points to catch a breath.

Dogfish will do the same afterwards.

Battle on, heroes!

Let's go! Bouncy, my female Azurill!

This looks like a perfect time for Ivy's debut, let's do this!



Let's start this match off by using Swords Dance, followed by a Growth to greatly increase your damage output. Then hit Bouncy hard with a Power Whip, to cut that water-rat thing down.

Just realised I goofed something up approving Bouncy.

Remember, she's shiny.

Anyway: Sing, then Work Up. Finish up round one with a Slam.

Round 1







The two trainers gaze at each other with impeachable calm, standing on two platforms at the edges of the arena. Luckily I can glance through the entire battlefield from abov... Hey, hold on Hydreigon, I was almost falling down!

Look, Dogfish seems to have made his choice, and sends forth Bouncy, an adorable Azurill! The little mouse seems to be a bit frightened when he finds himself floating in the void - poor cutie. Meanwhile, danmantican answers with his trustworthy Ivy the Bulbasaur! The green dinosaur enters the battlefield with a bold attitude, but the sight of the improbability vortex causes him to shudder as well.

Nevertheless, Ivy shrugs off the fear and starts dancing on himself, in preparation of the impending attack. However, he can't help listening to the beautiful melody chanted by Azur... oh boy, Hydreigon! wheresmyfullhealgoddamn- oh, whew! I wasn't ready to become warm goo juice right now!

Anyway, back to the battle, the Bulbasaur seems to have fallen asleep. Bouncy seems to finally have taken courage, and now looks to be much more adamant! Wow, she has leaped over the enemy and rammed into him with his tail! Ouch, that hurt a lot. Ivy better wakes up soon...

4 EN for 14/17 damage? Neat!

Slam it again for good measure. Then Waterfall, then Slam.

If it uses Sleep Powder, use Work Up instead. If Sleep Powder makes you fall asleep by relaxing you, then Work Up will hold an inverse effect. ^_^

Well that round was just peachy.

When you wake up, use Work Up, then hit Bouncy with a Giga Drain to regain some HP

Round 2

@Dogfish: Work Up won't prevent Sleep Powder from working, just so you know.

@Danmantican: You meant Growth, not Work Up

Ok Hydreigon, now get a bit closer to the action... and keep this Chesto Berry just in case!

Anyway, back to our contenders, Ivy seems to float across the arena asleep, like in a Jigglypuff's fantasy. Bouncy doesn't seem to share my romantic feelings, and crashes the image with a swift lash of his tail. Hey, looks like the Bulbasaur woke up, finally! Better soon than never, I say!

Ivy's mind quickly clears up and focuses on the battle. With a bold and cheerful attitude, he strengthens up himself. Bouncy leaps over him propelling water at high speed, but the Bulbasaur doesn't seem to be really inconvenienced by the attack!

Look, now the Azurill is staring in the air. What's happening? Green spheres of energy are leaving his body to reach the Bulbasaur! His wounds are slightly healed... neat. But Bouncy doesn't like the trick, and rams into the saur another time with his tail. Ouch, so cute but so harsh!

Yeah, I meant Growth before x.x

Ok, let's get some more HP back. Giga Drain~Leech Seed~Giga Drain. If Bouncy tries to use Slam or Sing, hit it with a Sleep Powder before she gets a chance to.

I already had an inkling that Work Up would actually fail, but it was merely a deterrent.

Anyway, I want you to take that Giga Drain, THEN Sing.

Then, if Ivy falls asleep, Slam *2. If Ivy doesn't fall asleep, Work Up then Waterfall.

Double Posting, but this is a notice that I will be gone for the next week (Bar getting on once or twice), and therefore may break deadline times.

Please don't DQ me - thanks.

Ok Hydreigon, hold on, now the battle is gonna get intense!

Ivy seems to keep tapping into Bouncy's energies to mend his own wounds. It's incredible how they fade like they were never been there actually... But wait! The Azurill started to chant with her beautiful voice again! Man, that's so sooth... ouch, that was a pretty false note over here.

Mmm, looks like Ivy came to his senses pretty quickly, and now he's reacting with a cloud of spores - directly from the seed on his back! Hydreigon, rise a bit, I don't want to spend another Full Heal on you like last time... Bouncy was not as lucky, though. I guess she got a taste of her own poison, after all.

Now that the Azurill is wandering into slumberland, Ivy takes the opportunity to drain more life force from her enemy. Magically, the wounds heal up like they were nothing. Looks like Bouncy's early advantage is quickly fading away...

I'M BACK!

OK Bouncy, the second you wake up, I want you to start Singing until it works. Then Start slamming the hell out of it.

Ok, we're in a solid position now Ivy. Let's start this round with a Leech Seed. Since Bouncy will wake up the next action, I want you to plug your ears so you cannot hear her sing. I then want you to hit Bouncy with another Sleep Powder before she get's a chance to sing again.

Mmm... maybe you keep the distance Hydreigon, ok? I don't feel comfortable with the "anaesthetic" route this battle is taking...

So, back to action! Ivy-aka-Dracula 2.0 decides to sap a little more life from her sleeping opponent (maybe you wanna bite her neck while she's in the bed dressed in white?) and fires off some seeds to trap her opponent into a parasitic plant (canines were more fashionable, I think). If Bouncy is having a nightmare right now, I cannot really blame her.

Wary about falling for that cursed lullaby once again, Ivy plugs her ears and try to avoid listening. And indeed, once it wakes up, the Azurill starts chanting with her charming voice (the image of a mon suddendly waking up and start singing somehow make me smile, but oh well). However, the song of Bouncy is just too fascinating for Ivy to ignore it... but, look - err, listen. Looks like Azurill got a false note again! I guess that vine crawling just below her mouth is kinda creepy...

Waken up from her stupor, Ivy immediately reacts with another cloud of soothing spores. Bouncy attempts to resist, but the toxins sap his nervous system and cause him to fall once again asleep. Sweet dreams I guess... (brr this is getting like a dark story)

Danmantican goes first now.

Ok, let's hit Bouncy with another Giga Drain and regain some more health. After I want you to use Vine Whip to wrap around Bouncy's mouth to prevent her from singing. Finish with another Giga Drain.

Just you wait until I unlock it's DW ability...

You're gonna wake up round 2, so give the thing a nice SLAM on the head.

Finish up with a Sing. You're doing fine Bouncy, considering you're at a major disadvantage on moves!

@Danmantican: "use Vine Whip to wrap around Bouncy's mouth to prevent her from singing", not going to happen sorry (although for this round it's not relevant)

Hey Hydreigon, wanna hear a lullaby of mine? I think I can remember some notes right now... ow, no need to roar like that, if you don't like it! Geez...

Either way, Ivy down there doesn't seem to appreciate lullabies either, and keeps draining Bouncy like she was a tap. The plant she seeded on her enemy helps too, apparently.

Look, the Azurill seems to start waking up no... ouch, what a slap! Ivy just slammed her right into the face with a vine. Angry and irritated, Bouncy replies leaping on her foe and smashing him with his tail (for some reason they remind me of those girls fighting against each other with slaps in each other's faces...).

However, the combined effect of Ivy's tapping and the plant growing on her really depleted Bouncy's energies. As Bulbasaur drains once again his life, she attempts to start executing her chant, but suddendly she doesn't manage to keep it going and she faints! Meanwhile, Ivy is barely scratched, but really tired by the fight...

Dogfish, please send out your next mon and issue his actions

Shinxe (Shinx ; Female)! Let's go!

Thunder Wave! Ice Fang! Fire Fang!

Just wondering why the second Giga Drain has it's energy as "7+4" since Vine Whip was between the two Giga Drains?

Anyways, great job with that Ivy! Let's start off by using another Leech Seed. Then use another Sleep Powder to buy us some time. Then Chill since I don't want you to faint from loss of energy.

Looks like the first contender has fallen, Hydreigon... what? You wanna devour him? Nah, forget it, that's against the rules... plus she doesn't seem much more than a sidefish, for you.

Danmantican apparently wants the cute theme going, and sends out an adorable Shinx. Will Shinxe be able to avenge is fallen mate? Ivy doesn't seem willing to process the answer, and plants some seeds on this foe too, for good measure. The Shinx however isn't a pushover in the slightest, and retaliates with a weak jolt of electricity which ends up paralyzing the Bulbasaur's muscles.

Sparks course through Ivy's body, making it easy prey for the Shinx - who immediately follows up and fiercely bites the Bulbasaur. Blasts of fire and frost shine bright, to attest the ferocity of the assault. The Bulbasaur better shrugs off paralysis soon, or not even the life he receives from the parasitic plant he seeded will be enough to support him for long...

Stopping my chill wasn't very nice. So let's try to Chill once more, then hit Shinxe with a Sleep Powder followed by a Sludge Bomb to finish things off.

Ice fang it!

Now then, Flinch, accuracy, Paralysis and possible freeze from before give it a 48.6% chance of doing anything if I now Fire Fang it.

Finish it up with an Ice Fang!

I really don't see Ivy surviving this confrontation if she doesn't manage to escape the par... no Hydreigon, you can't eat her. I'll bring you to hunt Minccinos later, but for now you'll have to be quiet.

Ivy still stands in place, unable to move. Shinxe takes the opportunity and ravages his opponent again with chilly teeth (must be that paste they advertise in TV...). The Bulbasaur is really suffering his offense. Now the Shinx's teeth turn fiery, and they plow again through Ivy's soft skin, scorching it. The grassy dinosaur attempts to retaliate with another soothing cloud of spores, but the resulting exhalation is way too weak to affect the thunder cat.

Looks like that, despite the plant grown on Shinxe is feeding Ivy with life energy, the Bulbasaur is about to fall. His opponent looks forward that aim, and assaults him yet again with his frozen canines (how can they go from -100 F to +300 F continously like that? I'm gonna sue that paste industry...). However this time Ivy doesn't take the hit passively. From his seed spawn several purple orbs, which explode on contact with the Shinx in a disgusting blast of sludge and other garbage.
