Objection, release and attack. Then Lupus attacks, and I ref.

[Objection]

Hmm ... Hades won't like taking Stone Edges and Madam Mim has the defensiveness of a paper bag, so I'm gonna go with Shan Yu the Skarmory. Since I don't see any accuracy-lowering moves on the Tyranitar and Weak Armor is both locked and pathetic, I'm going to pick Sturdy as his ability.

Unfortunately Shan Yu, your attacks will probably not be very useful yet (if ever), so begin with a Toxic, followed by a 25 HP Substitute and then a Sand-Attack.

[LupusAter]

Dragon Dance away from that Toxic, then Fire Fang and Thunder Fang.

Objection O
Shan Yu (M)

100 HP / 100 EN
Toxic ~ Sub 25 HP ~ Sand Attack

You know, I'd love to comment on how pretty the Cherry Blossoms look at night, but it seems as if nature is being ignored by Lupusater's Thrym, who decides that the natural light of the moon is no good, and let's his Sand Stream whip up a sandstorm (-10 EN). Irriatated by the weather, Objection releases Shan Yu, who remains Sturdy in the sand.

Shan Yu begins by aiming a blob of Toxic (7 EN) at Thrym, but it seems he's one step faster. Suddenly, Thrym Dragon Dances out of the way and towards the river, letting the toxic gunk disintegrate a tree instead (7 EN). Unfortunately, this evasive dance has no benifit for Thrym, who doesn't grow stronger or faster. Should've read the label...

: 100/93

: 110/83

Shan Yu stays on the defensive, and creates the largest Substitute he can (-25 HP / 22 EN). Thrym responds to this by having his Sub roasted with extra cheese. Seems like a Fire Fang is on the menu (11 Damage / 5 EN)

: 75/71 (14 HP Sub)

: 110/78

From behind the sub, Shan Yu blasts Thrym with a Sand Attack (3 EN), using his own pride against him. Disorientated, Thrym attacks a tree with a Thunder Fang (6 EN). The tree isn't happy.

: 75/68 (14 HP Sub)

Lupusater, you're up! Thrym is currently attacking a tree a few metres from the edge of the lake, where Shan Yu's Substitute is. Who knows where Shan Yu himself is hiding.

[LupusAter]

Fry the sub with a Thunderbolt! Then gamble on an Ancientpower and finish with another Fire Fang!

[Objection]

OK, try Toxic, then Leer followed by Swords Dance. If, however, your substitute is gone by the third action, replace the third action with another 25 HP Substitute

Shan Yu (M)

Toxic ~ Leer ~ Swords Dance

Irriatated by the current failings of his plan, Shan Yu rains down on Thrym with a friendly blob of Toxic which strikes true through the sandstorm (7 EN). Poisoned, Thrym launches a Thunderbolt at Sub Yu, nearly knocking out the little fellow (11 Damage / 7 EN). (1 Toxic Damage)

: 75/61 (3 HP Sub)

: 109/65

Shan Yu makes further progress weakening Thrym with a Leer, red eyes cutting through the sand (4 EN). Evidently, Thrym has a dislike of big red eyes, and lobs an AncientPower in that general direction, but it goes a mile off (3 EN). (1 Toxic Damage)

: 75/57 (3 HP Sub)

: 108/62

Shan Yu, bemused by his fate, joyfully begins dancing around the trees, sharpening his wings in a Swords Dance (7 EN). Thrym finally locates the substitute, and destroys it with a Fire Fang (11 Damage - Sub go BOOM! / 5 EN). (1 Toxic Damage)

: 75/50

Haxxy Much? Objection, you're up!

Just an alert: Upon reaching 0 EN, I ref it as if all your stats have fallen to -2, and that you need 1 round relaxing to get back 30 EN, and back to stats at 0.

[Objection]

OK, time to speed this up.

Sky Attack ~ Sand Attack ~ Sky Attack

From amongst the sands, Shan Yu seems to be more aggressive. He shoots up into the sky, glowing a faint white, before performing an aerial somersalt and crashing down into Thrym (15 Damage / 9 EN). It seems as if Thrym did not expect that, as he Flinches. That's nasty... (2 Toxic Damage)

: 75/41

: 90/57

Back to basics for Shan yu, who flicks a lot more Sand into Thrym's face (3 EN). Further blinded, Thrym launches a rock slide, which simply fills up the bottom of the lake, splashing water everywhere (5 EN). (2 Toxic Damage)

: 75/38

: 88/52

Shan Yu again takes to the skies, circling the mountain before diving in with another Sky Attack (15 Damage / 9 EN). Thrym swipes in Shan Yu's general direction, but the move flies well off course (7 EN). (2 Toxic Damage).

: 75/29

: 71/45

THE STATS BELOW HAVE BEEN REVISED AND MAY LOOK SLIGHTLY OFF - The dragon dance was successful and the next move by Thrym was a flinch

[Objection]

EDIT: Will give Lupus a chance to change his actions.

[Dogfish44]

Thanks to Lupus's bad luck, and the fact I am a terribad ref, the Dragon Dance will be awarded, and lupus will reclaim energy from the next move as a result of the flinch going there instead. Lupus may wish to change actions to facilitate this, and hence I am requesting that he re-posts his actions, and objection re-posts his, unless there is no actual problem in Lupus's actions.

[LupusAter]

Fry the bird! Thunder Fang- Fire Fang- Stone Edge

I'll do what I was going to do in the first place: Sand-Attack - Sky Attack - Chill

And the battle continues in this accurssed sandstorm. Bleh. Thrym flails with more sand in his eye than his recomended daily dose, but flails in the right direction, clamping down on Shan Yu with a Thunder Fang (13 damage / 6 EN). Shan Yu responds with yet ANOTHER Sand Attack (3 EN). Fun fun fun... (3 Toxic Damage)

: 64/26

: 68/39

At a mere 60% accuracy, Thrym attempts a Fire Fang, which collides into a tree, which catches fire (5 EN). The sands put it out quickly, but the embers make Shan Yu's Sky Attack follow a perfect line and scores a Critical Hit, before landing in the tree which was once ablaze (17 Damage / 9 EN). (3 Toxic Damage)

: 64/17

: 48/39

Enraged, Thrym sharpens his tail and swipes at the tree, smashing into Skamory and destroying the tree in its entirety (15 Damage / 7 EN). Shan Yu simply reclaims every drop of energy lost this round as he Chills (+12 EN). (3 Toxic Damage)

The match continues quickly with a speedy Fire Fang striking Shan Yu down (13 Damage / 5 EN). Shan Yu, caight mid flight, spins around and pummels Thrym, although the move wishes it was a bit better than "Not Very Effective" (10 Damage / 9 EN). The manual lied about that Sky Attack (4 Toxic Damage)

: 36/20

: 31/27

Thrym goes on the offensive, but as he tries a Thunder Fang it goes in the wrong direction, causing his face to become aquainted with the ground (6 EN). As Thrym climbs up, Shan Yu simply lands and Chills. (+12 EN) (Toxic Damage)

: 36/32

: 27/21

As the round reaches its cessation, it seems as if the past is repeating itself. Thrym's mouth glows Crimson flames, and bites Shan Yu neatly on the wing. The flames from the Fire Fang (13 Damage / 5 EN) cling on though, as it seems to have burnt Shan Yu. The Sky Attack suddenly lacked it's usual power (8 Damage / 9 EN). (Burn/Toxic Damage)

And as the battle draws close to an end, both participants seem weary. Thrym blasts Shan Yu with a Thunder Fang, which connects, but Shan Yu doesn't appear to be phased (11 Damage / 6 EN). Shan Yu shakes him off though, and launches off another Sky Attack (8 Damage / 13 EN). (Toxic / Burn).

: 8/10

: 2/11

Panting, Shan Yu seems able to do no more than Peck at Thrym's face, and as the Metallic bird strikes (2 Damage / 1 EN). Thrym falls, and as the sand clears we see Shan Yu plucking out the insides of Thrym. How Anticlimactic.

Game Over.

I have to say, this is perhaps the best 1v1 I've ever had and not because I won. Great game Lupus and thanks for being such a good ref dogfish.

[LupusAter]

Good battle indeed.
