np: Seven Deadly Sins vs. Zystral: C&C Face-off! [REF DQ]

Somewhere, someday, a small boy, a Machamp and a Pyroak stand by a frozen lakeside. Near them are two determined-looking Trainers, ready to beat the stuffing out of each other.

"Welcome to a battle between Sevendeadlysins and Zystral!" announces the Pyroak. "Chuck Norris, would you mind showing the world the clauses for this battle?"

"Grass Skirt, you're so bossy," grumbles the Machamp. He pulls a small remote control seemingly out of nowhere and keys in a few commands. On a huge overhead TV screen, words flash to life;

"There you go," remarks Grass Skirt. "Now let's get started! Zystral shall send out his Pokemon first, let's go!'"

LOCK, VIZIER OF HUNTING.

"Arise, your words are arrows of light."

Okay, so since he's a Dark-type who can't speak maybe that wasn't the best card to attire to him. Whatever.

Go, Paradiso!



First things first, Taunt him so he can't slow us down with Thunder Wave! Next, Hone up your Claws! Finally, hit him with a Stone Edge!

Okay Lock, let's try plan POWER BULLET, like we practiced!
He's fast, but that'll only help us - Let's do it.
Remember how POWER BULLET works;
You'll go in running for a Tackle, but just before you make contact, you'll turn around and swtich to a Dragon Tail! Giving you increased momentum, putting more power on it! [[I am willing to pay whatever increased energy cost this incurs to make it a single action]]

[[according to Flora I can't string combos together like that all the time]]
edit: Okay, now that you've pulled off a nice combo, you're gonna need to be inactive for a resting turn - use this time to get back so he can't get up close and strike! If he wants to attack, he'll need to come close and risk getting struck!

And now, let's clinch this! Let's initiate POWER BULLET V2
Run at him, ready for a Headbutt, but again, before you make contact, power up for a HEAD SMASH WITH EXTRA MOMENTUM. This is the deciding strike!

"All right, let's get this party started!" announces Chuck Norris. "Seven Deadly Sins decides to go with an Archen named Paradiso, and Zystral hurls out the Poke Ball of a Deino named Lock! Their stats are:



"It looks like somehow Lock's already done something to piss off Paradiso!" announces Grasss Skirt. "Paradiso's Taunting Lock mercilessly...I've never heard such a bad 'yo mama' joke in my life! But I don't think our little Deino's gonna stand for that. He's rushing towards Paradiso, and jumps up in the air as if to Tackle him...but wait! At the last second he spins in midair and smashes Paradiso with a Dragon Tail! That's gotta hurt!"

"It's not stopping Paradiso, though," remarks Chuck Norris. "He's not giving in that easily! But...it doesn't look like he's doing anything particularly useful either. He's simply sitting on the ground, preening and Hone-ing his Claws. Then again-Lock's being even more useless. He's simply lying on the ground, exhausted from his earlier combo.

"If we get into another stallfest battle..." grumbles Grass Skirt. "But that's not looking likely now. Paradiso's picked up a Stone from the ground, and is stabbing Lock with the Edge of it! He's not giving in yet, though. Lock's leaping into the air as if to hit Paradiso with a Headbutt...and forgets what he was supposed to do next!"

In the background, Chuck Norris claps softly.

"He still manages to land the Headbutt, though," remarks Grass Skirt. "Now it looks like the round's over...so Chuck Norris, the stats?"


Lock (Deino)
HP: 71
Energy: 86

"Zy, you're up next," yells Chuck Norris. "Let's go!"

Focus Energy, Lock! Be prepared to endure any attack it's going to throw at you!

Then, retaliate with a Dragon Tail! Launch Paradiso as far away as possible!

Finally, keep your distance - make sure he can't Stone Edge you! Instead, use the distance and launch a Dragonbreath him! Hope for a paralysis chance!

Hit him with a Stone Edge while he's focusing his energy! After that, Hone up your Claws again, and finally, Agility to dodge the Dragon Tail!

I'm calling this as a Referee Disqualification. It's been 4 days since the last order, and at this point I'd rather just get this over with.

I get 2 TC, Paradiso gets an EC and a MC.

Zystral gets 2 TC, Lock gets an EC, MC, and DC.
