Arena 2: Not Busy Highway
A regular highway to battle on. It's near the crack of dawn, so there aren't many cars milling about. There are various platforms above the highway that you can battle from, and the highway ground itself is battle-able. At the end of each round, two cars will come, dealing 5 (50%), 7 (30%), or 10 (20%) damage each to every Pokemon on the highway ground. Getting from the highway ground to the platform isn't too difficult, though.

Hmm. Looks like Engineer doesn't mind dragonboy knowing what he's going to use... So, we already know what Engineer's using, so they're out. dragonboy52, please send out your Pokémon and their abilities, Engineer orders, dragonboy orders, I ref.

[dragonboy52]

Go Porygon with Trace
Bronzor with Levitate.
This should be interesting!
EDIT: I thought this was an all abilities match?

[Engineer Pikachu]

woops, you're right. All abilities.

Doesn't dragonboy order first?

[Son_of_Shadoo]

... I am a total moron. Yes, it is all abilities, and yes, dragonboy orders.

[dragonboy52]

Bronzor Confuse Ray on that Ilyana, Gyro Ball on Ilyana, Substitute (15 HP)
Porygon use Toxic on Ilyana then use 2 T-Bolts on Slowpoke.

[Engineer Pikachu]

Ilyana: Dig (to avoid Confuse Ray and Toxic) (Porygon) - Tail Slap (Porygon) - Tail Slap (Porygon)
Kansok: Yawn (Bronzor) - Disable Thunderbolt (Porygon) - Boiling Water (Porygon)

Ilyana, aim to knock Porygon off the upper platforms with your Tail Slaps. Kansok, keep Porygon down with the Boiling Water.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

While I wait for my ambulance to arrive... I may have dislocated my everything... Let's take a look at the initial stats.

Team Engineer Pikachu:

Ilyana (Cute Charm+Technician)
HP: 90
Energy: 100
Speed: 75
Boosts/Drops: 0
Status: Fine
Actions: Dig (to avoid Confuse Ray and Toxic) (Porygon) - Tail Slap (Porygon) - Tail Slap (Porygon)

Actions: Yawn (Bronzor) - Disable Thunderbolt (Porygon) - Boiling Water (Porygon)

HP: 100
Energy: 100
Speed: 19

Status: Fine
Actions: Confuse Ray on that Ilyana, Gyro Ball on Ilyana, Substitute (15 HP)


Porygon (Trace+Download)
HP: 100
Energy: 100
Speed: 40
Boosts/Drops: +1 SpA (permanent due to Download)
Status: Fine
Actions: Toxic on Ilyana then use 2 T-Bolts on Slowpoke.

Turn Order: Ilyana >>> Porygon >>> Bronzor >>> Kansok

Could go either way, but that Download boost gives dragonboy an initial advantage... He could've gotten it from either of his opponents, to be fair.

Action 1:
And the battle begins, both teams of Pokémon on opposing platforms. Ilyana senses danger with those big-ass ears of hers, and leaps to the ground, Digging beneath the tarmac. Wow, that's quite a pothole. That'll be expensive to fix... But it was a sensible move on her part, as she manages to avoid the light beam from Bronzor, and the poisonous blobs from Porygon. Slowpoke lets out a biiiiig yawn... Oh man, I'm losing consciousness, though that could be from the SEARING PAIN CAUSED BY MY CAR ACCIDENT. It's contagious for Bronzor though, who looks a little drowsy... Ilyana now leaps out of her pothole, and PAWNCHES Porygon! The force of it knocks them both to the highway floor. It was a nasty critical hit too!

Action 2:
Top... Of the round... Ilyana again... Gets to her feet and slaps Porygon in the face with her tail. Five times! Massive damage! Porygon responds with an electrical energy blast to Kansok, but he remains on his platform. Bronzor starts to spin at lickety speeds, and rushes at Ilyana... Bam! Nasty Gyro Ball, way to defend your partner! Where were you a few seconds ago!? Kansok watches the battle from his platform, relaxed as anything. The world could be ending around him, but he just Disables Porygon's Thunderbolt for shits and giggles. He's like Nero.

Action 3:
Here we go, action 3, and Ilyana Slaps Porygon for the KO! The RNG positively loves the little rat... Bronzor sets up for next round by creating an identical clone, which Kansok vomits a blast of hot water on to. Charming. The Sub is left with 5 HP... Which is promptly eradicated by the massive tanker coming down the road! GOOD SWEET MIKE! Ilyana doesn't take it well either though!

I am EXTREMELY unsure on that Tail Slap calc. FORTY damage?! REALLY?! That's what the calculator is giving me... I calced for one hit, then multiplied by five (RNG's a bitch).

Ok, that's a little better...

Engineer orders, dragonboy orders, me.

[Engineer Pikachu]

On Multi-hit moves, STAB is only worth 1 iirc, so damage would be reduced by ten for each one...?

I'm getting:
((3 + 1) + 1 + 1.5(3-3)) * 1 * 5 = 25 damage???

I'm not sure how you got 8 damage per hit...

e: Do you want to re-calc the round or just go with it?

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I'd prefer to recalc the round, it's only fair. But damn, that's still a lot of damage. I got to get me one of those Mincinnos...

EDIT: And I ballsed up the cars too, it's only at the end of the round, not the action. DAMN IT, ME!

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Ok, the round is recalced. Not much changed, but Bronzor's sub is intact, Ilyana gained 10 HP, and Porygon didn't explode (though he is about to). Engineer, your actions please.

[dragonboy52]

Wait, Didn't Porygon hit Slowpoke with a T-Bolt?

[Son_of_Shadoo]

... *sigh* RECALCING.

EDIT: OK! ARE WE GOOD HERE?! *ahem* Engineer, go ahead and order.

[Engineer Pikachu]

ok, thanks so much. Bronzor isn't going to harm us, so let's eliminate Porygon first.

Ilyana: Tail Slap (Porygon) - Thunderbolt (Bronzor) - Fake Tears (Bronzor)
Kansok: Boiling Water (Porygon) - Safeguard (Team) - Boiling Water (Bronzor)

[dragonboy52]

You hate my porygon! And so does the RNG 5 hits twice!
Anyway
Bronzor I want you to hit Ilyana with a Gyro Ball as it launches itself towards Porygon. Porygon I want you to use Recover. Then Bronzor hit Ilyana with another GyroBall while Porygon uses Tri Attack on Ilyana. Then Bronzor use Extrasensory. If Ilyana faints or Porygon has below 10 HP I want porygon to use Recover, if not Tri Attack on either Pokemon.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Don't be silly, dragonboy. I HATE EVERYONE.

Turn Order: Ilyana >>> Porygon >>> Bronzor >>> Kansok

Action 1:
With no cars in the way now, Ilyana decides to go for the KO on Porygon, and smacks him with her Tail... Twice! He hangs on by the skin of his teeth and tries to to Recover 20 HP... But it fails! This is a no recover, no chill match! Bronzor moves in quickly to bash Ilyana away with a Gyro Ball attack, giving Porygon room to breathe... Until Kansok launches another Scald attack at him from above! And it burns his head because of it. A nasty 2nd degree one... But it's irrelevant, it finishes him off! And at the end of the round, Bronzor falls into a light sleep for one action. Aww, isn't he cute.

Action 2:
Ilyana and Kansok turn their attentions to the sleeping Bronzor, and cracks off a mighty Thunderbolt at him! Doesn't do so much though... But it does enough to break the Substitute! Bronzor's totally exposed! Bronzor snoozes through the round while Kansok... Puts up a status-blocking Safeguard. Bronzor wakes up.

Action 3:
In this deciding action of the round, Ilyana changes tack, and helps her partner set up. She cries loudly, from the pain in her arm, and tears spill everywhere. Bronzor takes pity on her, and it lowers his guard... Bronzor now realises his folly, and smacks her in the back of the head with psychic energy. Kansok ends the round with another Scalding blast of water, this time at Bronzor. And then, the hatchbacks come along... BANG, 5 damage to everyone, and a snapped arm for me! OH DEAR GOD!

So how exactly did Porygon successfully pull off a Recover?

[Son_of_Shadoo]

... I'm sorry guys. I'm just screwing up all over the place in this match... I should've paid more attention to that, my apologies. Will recalc now.

EDIT: OK, Ilyana's in way better shape now, and Porygon's down. One KO counter for Kansok. Dragonboy, order.

[dragonboy52]

Sorry guys I thought the move Recovery and the item Recovers and Chill were different.

Turn Order: Ilyana >>> Bronzor >>> Kansok

Action 1:
Poor Bronzor. He's about to be completely trolled, and you can see it in his eyes. Poor, poor Bronzor. Ilyana ducks underground, dodging the spinning plate, as Kansok, from his perch, wipes any and all memory of how to spin from Bronzor's brain. You bastard. SPINNING IS AWESOME! I AM FADING OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY SPINAL CORD FUCK. Oh, and then Ilyana PAWNCHES the plate for lots o' damage.

Action 2:
Things get worse, as Ilyana cries again. The noise lowers Bronzor's defense further, and annoys the shit out of me! He attempts to do something, but can't remember how to spin... Curses! And he gets hit with more Scalding hot water! That's GOT to sting. Not as much as a FUCKING CAR CRASH, but still.

Action 3:
I'm tired. And passing out. Thunderbolt. Gyro Fail. More Scalding hot water. And that's all she wrote, Bronzor is down to exactly 0 HP! Thank God, my ambulance is right there! It would've done 7 to us all...

Sorry for the lack of flavour. It's kind of late, and I have an exam tomorrow :(
