(Completed) mewtwo15026 vs. rewindman : Screwing up an Art Museum! (TutorRef: darkamber8828)

Leethoof · Jun 1st, 2011, 11:02:55 PM

The two trainers approach the abandoned and nearly-empty Lilycove Art Museum. Instead of admiring the paintings or simply walking past the beautiful building, they feel a trainer-only urge to battle and completely ruin the museum. Fortunately for them, and unfortunately for the museum, the local Chimecho security system is getting lazy, and lets up the Safeguard protecting the paintings! This could be a very messy battle coming up!

The arena and rules:

...

TEAM I-LIVE-IN-CERULEAN-CAVE-AND-AM-ANNOYING-TO-CATCH

Uberwocky the Shelgon

Balsamus the Flarelm

Jade the Scyther

AND TEAM SOMETIMES-I-GO-BACK-IN-TIME-ALSO-I-AM-A-MAN

...

Order of operations:
1. Mewtwo sends out poke
2. rewindman sends out poke and orders
3. Mewtwo sends out poke
4. REF TIME
5. etc.

mewtwo15026 · Jun 2nd, 2011, 4:44:33 PM

Go, Jade the Scyther and Balsamus the Flarelm!

rewindman · Jun 2nd, 2011, 4:51:47 PM

Go, Helios the metang and Chai the Scratchet!
Metang, this does not look like a good matchup for you, but hopefully we can pull through! Lead with a Zenn Headbutt against Flarehelm! Follow it up with an Meteor mash and finish it with one more Zenn Headbutt!

Chai, lead with a Confuse Ray against Balsamus, followed by a Yawn and finally a Toxic against Balsamus! If it decides to use Leecseed on the first action, replace it with a Taunt!

Metang - Zenn Headbutt - Meteor Mash- Zenn Headbutt (All on Balsamus)
Chai- Confuse Ray/Taunt - Yawn - Toxic (all on Balsamus)

mewtwo15026 · Jun 3rd, 2011, 6:22:28 PM

BALSAMUS: Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk. We can handle all of this XD

Well...maybe not the Confuse Ray. Status sucks, so lead with Sunny Day to protect yourself from what you can. Next, use Reflect to protect yourself from Helios, then fire off a Sun-boosted Lava Plume!

Sunny Day -- Reflect -- Lava Plume both foes.
DO try not to hit Jade with your attack.

------

JADE: What are you, chopped liver?

Start by creating 4 Double Team clones. Next, take the time to set up a Swords Dance, then give Chai a taste of your wings!

Double Team (4) -- Swords Dance -- Wing Attack Chai

Leethoof · Jun 3rd, 2011, 11:13:31 PM

And so...the battle begins in the Art Museum. Mewtwo15026 sends out his trusted pair of Scyther and Flarelm, and rewindman responds with Metang and a newcomer to CAP ASB, Scratchet!

The prankster Chai the Scratchet begins by launching a mystical confuse ray towards the Flarelm, intensesly confusing Balsamus.
Jade the Scyther starts the battle off by grabbing some painted Scyther out of pictures, and soldifying them into four clones of a Double Team. She should be harder to hit now! Balsamus the Flarelm then amplifies a nearby sunny painting, creating a Sunny Day! Hyperion the Metang starts off with some solid damage, crashing into Balsamus with a powerful Zen Headbutt.

Chai, bored at the display of little damage in this battle, simply Yawns in Balsamus's direction, though the attack is unlikely to do anything unless the sunlight stops. Jade, and her four Scyther buddies, begin a frenzied Swords Dance to prepare them for future assaults. Flarelm then bullies one of the local, lazy Chimecho into setting up a Reflect for her team, adding her own energy to the process. Hyperion prepares a fist of pure Meteor might, and Mashes into Balsamus, though his normally strong attack does very little with the reflecting barrier and flames melting his fist slightly. This massive attack may not have done much to the Flarelm, but certainly destroyed some paintings!

One of these paintings spilled out a Grimer, which Chai the Scratchet then innovatively picks up and tosses at Balsamus. The Toxic skin of the Grimer just melts against the Leaf Guard in the sunny weather. Jade finally feels ready to attack, and her clones follow her in a swooping Wing Attack towards the innocent Scratchet, hitting the kitty hard. Balsamus then prepares her arm cannon, and fires out a massive Lava Plume, having to contain some of the power to avoid hitting Jade. The wounded Metang prepares another Zen Headbutt, and succesfully crashes into Balsamus, knocking several paintings over in the process.

Though the battle isn't going well for rewindman's pokemon, clever use of the paintings could very well turn this around. The stun still shines brightly, and Balsamus feels very agile and protected in this weather.

TEAM REWINDMAN

HP: 79/59
Energy: 81/81
Speed 50/40
Stats: none/none
Other: none/none

TEAM MEWTWO15026

Leethoof · Jun 4th, 2011, 10:38:06 PM

bump in case mewtwo didn't get my PM

rewindman · Jun 8th, 2011, 5:52:11 PM

Mewtwo hasen't posted in a while and I believe it is past the dq deadline

Leethoof · Jun 8th, 2011, 6:21:31 PM

well yeah..but it has only been one round. I believe, from what I've heard on IRC, I just end the battle with no counters. I'll have to confirm, though.

mewtwo15026 · Jun 9th, 2011, 5:25:51 PM

I thank you wholeheartedly for alerting me about the DQ time.

...Oh, wait.

If you want to continue, I'd be more than happy to.

rewindman · Jun 9th, 2011, 6:07:55 PM

Sure, It's up to the ref, but I'm fine with it

Leethoof · Jun 11th, 2011, 9:33:30 AM

Well, I am unable to ref at this point, but you guys can continue if you find a subref.

rewindman · Jun 11th, 2011, 8:48:02 PM

In that case, I think this thing is more trouble than its worth, wanna just cancel it mewtwo?

mewtwo15026 · Jun 11th, 2011, 9:54:19 PM

If you don't mind. I'll also recycle the venue; I have about 3 Pokemon that need evolutions. XD

Pokemon that don't evolve (i.e. Aerodactyl, Zangoose) may be used. Switch=NO WAY All Abilities Items=lol ARENA: Lilycove Art Museum, Post-Apocalypse A level, open, 40x40-foot gallery lined with art. Since everyone's picked up a DSi or 3DS and moved to Sinnoh, nobody will notice if we touch the exhibits...well, we can't, because they're under the protection of a Chimecho's Safeguard. However, this Chimecho has grown bored in the abscence of patrons, and she has charmed the paintings so that attacks can pull water, rocks, branches, and whatnot from the frames.

Uberwocky, or Ubie for short, is a distant relative of the Rekkuza line. Her family holds that, through rigorous training, a Bagon will eventually sprout wings and fly. Ubie has held that belief ever since she left the egg; as a result, she is vicious in battle, fighting as if every match is her last. Although she's gained a little girth, Ubie isn't completely discouraged. It doesn't look like she'll get off the ground at all, but she's still working as hard as ever. Ring a bell, too, just in case. Type:* Dragon Dragon: Dragon STAB; Roar has have Energy Cost reduced by one (1). (Dragonite line can breathe underwater.)

Mewtwo spilled some caustic reagents on it, and in his resulting rage, Rayquaza set it aflame. ...I realize the science behind that sounds rather sketchy, but it's produced one of the strongest (and most BA) members of the team. As a result of her time as a cactus, Balsamus is under-hugged and lonely. That's fine by her, though--she's usually able to take care of herself. Just keep her away from chemicals. She tends to get a little...scary... Type: Fire/Grass Fire: Fire STAB; immune to burn, 50% reduction in freeze chance, emit a low glow in dark places, takes additional damage if active open flames are exposed to a water attack.

When she hatched, her broodmates rejected her because she was alternately colored. Or shiny. Or red in places. One of those. Anyhow, her lifelong homelessness has forced her to hunt, carve, and keep watch for herself. If anyone says this brutal monster is untrained, they don’t know her one bit. Type: Bug/Flying Bug: Bug STAB; More mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gain an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves. Flying: Flying STAB; immunity to Ground attacks outside extremely odd circumstances even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Enhanced aerial mobility. Superior senses in open air arenas.

Superior senses in high-metal environments like construction sites or factories. [Psychic]: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic attacks regardless of weight difference. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks. Stats:Metang HP: 90 Atk: Rank 4 (+) Def: Rank 4 SpA: Rank 1 (-) SpD: Rank 3 Spe: 50 EC: 8/9 MC: 1 DC: 2/5 Abilities: Clear Body: (Innate) This Pokemon’s body structure makes it immune to status lowering moves used by opponents. (e.g. Intimidate, Growl, Screech etc.) Light Metal (DW): (Innate) The Pokemon's body is made of a lightweight but extremely strong alloy. It weighs half as much as other members of the species allowing it to attack more swiftly, but can take damage just as well and suffers only a minor degree more knockback.

If it is put to sleep by a Pokemon with Mold Breaker it will wake up the next action Attacks: Fury Swipes Harden Focus Energy Rock Smash Roar Roost Yawn Confuse Ray Taunt Toxic Reflect Order of operations: 1.
