[Flamestrike]

Brandon greeted his raid partner, Engineer. They had agreed to meet here to train some of their weaker Pokemon, and so Brandon sent out Vinestrike and Aquastrike while Engineer sent out his own Ivysaur as well as a Zubat. "That Zubat is going to be a pain Vinestrike, so start with a Sleep Powder on it! Next, put a Leech Seed on it, then finish off with a Hidden Power Fire! If you end up Taunted, just go Hidden Power Fire, then Take Down, then Hidden Power Fire, all on Zubat! Aquastrike, start by using Taunt on Zubat, then Ice Beam it! Finish off with a Scald against Zubat! If you're Taunted on the first action, then just Scald it instead!"

Summary:
Vinestrike: Sleep Powder(Zubat) -> Leech Seed(Zubat) -> Hidden Power Fire(Zubat)
If Taunted, actions become Hidden Power Fire -> Take Down -> Hidden Power Fire, all on Zubat
Aquastrike: Taunt(Zubat) -> Ice Beam(Zubat) -> Scald(Zubat)
If Taunted change action 1 to Scald(Zubat)

[Engineer Pikachu]

Engineer peered cautiously at Brandon, listening intently. After fully comprehending his commands, he turned around to his own Ivysaur and Zubat. "Screw role-playing text, let's just get to the actions!"

Tanka: Sleep Powder (Oshawott) - Light Screen - Power Whip (Oshawott)
IF (Oshawott is not asleep when you go on Action 2) THEN (Replace Action 2 with Sleep Powder (Oshawott))
Kozu: Hypnosis (Ivysaur) - Substitute (17 HP) - Taunt (Ivysaur)
IF (You are Taunted on Action 2) THEN (Replace Actions 2 and 3 with Brave Bird (Ivysaur) and Wing Attack (Ivysaur), respectively)

Hello Pokémon stadium! Since this arena is piss poor, I'm gonna crack a joke about the fact that Engineer didn't even bother to role play getting dressed and is now butt naked in front of the entire stadium. Great, you're on national TV!

It seems as if this match is gonna begin quickly and creepily. Kozu begins with a Hypnosis (7 EN), but seems to be lacking in any eyes to perform the move with. So, she simply coughs up a mutilated purple eyeball, and holds it between her 4 teeth, slightly sunk into the freaky eyeball. It pulses at Vinestrike, who's looking in sheer horror, and falls into a Intense Sleep. Tanka, the other fucking Ivysaur, is also in the belief that the best things are fast asleep, and hits Aquastrike with a Sleep Powder (6 EN), shunning Aquastrike into a Deep Sleep

: 90/94

: 90/100

: 90/93

: 90/100

Kozu now follows up with her commands to not attack, but to slash herself and to use the life force inside it to create a Substitute (17 Recoil ; 14 EN). Tanka's not exactly hitting hard either, as a Light Screen (8 EN) splits the arena in 2. Wow, this arena may have some vague form of purpose...

: 90/86

: 90/100

: 73/79 - Sub 17 HP

: 90/100

Kozu now tries to end the round quite quickly, forcing an offensive outburst from Vinestrike with a Taunt (10 EN). Unfortunately, Vinestrike is fast asleep, and se can neither see nor hear the Taunt, which fails miserably. Tanka decides that there is an easier way to finish a match quickly, and that's to kill your foes quickly. She does a Power Whip at Aquastrike, which slaps the poor fellow on the mouth hard (25 Damage / 7 EN). Aquastrike suddenly jolts up after the nap, and aims a nice warm Scalding bath at Kozu's substitute, which survives (11 HP / 5 EN). Typical guy, trying to bathe with the girls...

eh, I had flavor but accidentally refreshed the page. No flavor again :(

Kozu: Taunt (Vinestrike) - Confuse Ray (Oshawott) - Confuse Ray (Vinestrike)
IF (You are Taunted when A2 rolls around) THEN (Replace A2 and A3 with Brave Bird and Wing Attack, respectively, both on Oshawott))

Tanka: Razor Leaf - Power Whip (Oshawott) - Giga Drain (Oshawott)
IF (You are not Taunted when A1 rolls around) THEN (Replace A1 with Sleep Powder (Vinestrike))

[Flamestrike]

Brandon gritted his teeth. This matchup wasn't good for him at all. "I should have brought Thornstrike," he thought to himself. "Well, there's not much we can do but keep pushing on. Vinestrike, since you'll be Taunted just go for Take Down, then Tackle, then another Take Down, all on Zubat! Aquastrike, Taunt Zubat so it can't confuse you and Vinestrike, then hit it hard with a Razor Shell! Finish off with a Night Slash!"

Summary:
Aquastrike: Taunt(Zubat) -> Razor Shell(Zubat) -> Night Slash(Zubat)
Vinestrike: Take Down(Zubat) -> Tackle(Zubat) -> Take Down(Zubat)

Speed Order: Kozu ~ Vinestrike ~ Tanka ~ Aquastrike

Kozu, noticing the now awake Vinestrike, calls her the offspring of a Muk and a slutty Bellossom. Ouch, that Taunt (14 EN) cost him dearly, as his Substitute was crushed by a Take Down from Vinestrike (9 Damage / 2 recoil / 7 EN). Tanka seems ignorant to this, and since she isn't being called a slut or a bitch like everyone else, gives Vinestrike a sprinkling of Sleep Powder... which misses (7 EN). Aquastrike finishes the action by calling Kozu his batbitch. Ouch, Tauntapalooza (10 EN).

: 90/72

: 88/93

: 73/55

: 65/85

Kozu, pissed off to a level where her subs become activated, charges into Aquastrike with a Brave Bird, slamming him into a wall, and being a true bitch in the process (15 Damage / 5 Recoil / 7 EN). Vinestrike falls back to her most basic move, and Tackles Kozu (5 Damage / 3 EN), and Kozu is sent flying. Tanka follows up with a Power Whip to Aquastrike for massive damage (25 Damage / 7 EN). Aquastrike goes in much easier, slashing Kozu with a Razor Shell (11 Damage / 5 EN).

: 90/65

: 88/90

: 52/48

: 25/80

Kozu is now mad. He eyes down Aquastrike, wings glowing white, and slams in with a rudimentary Wing Attack (9 Damage / 3 EN). Vinestrike goes back to the basic Take Downs on Kozu, who now has discovered what a pro american footballer feels like - Pain (9 Damage / 2 recoil / 7 EN). Tanka decides to tap into Aquastrike with a Giga Drain, draining Aqua's very soul as it slumps, KOed (21 Daamge / 11 EN).

Flamestrike. You go now.

[Flamestrike]

Engineer subbed Sleep Powder over Razor Leaf if Ivysaur wasn't Taunted, which he wasn't. That would mean that Aquastrike survives the round and who knows what happens to Vinestrike depending on whether or not Sleep Powder is successful (don't forget that Grass STAB reduces the effectiveness of Powder moves by 50%)

[Dogfish44]

This has been fixed, Flamestrike, it is still your move.

[Dogfish44]

Flame, you WILL need to re-order your attacks. Engineer, you will then need to follow.

[Flamestrike]

Oh, ouch. Maybe honesty isn't the best policy :(

"Well Vinestrike, you're on your own, so let's see if we can take down that Zubat before going down ourselves! Go for Hidden Power Fire, then Take Down, then Hidden Power Fire, all on Zubat! If Zubat faints, switch Take Down to Venoshock and target his Ivysaur!"

Summary:
Hidden Power Fire(Zubat) -> Take Down(Zubat) -> Hidden Power Fire(Zubat)
If Zubat is KOed switch Take Down to Venoshock and target Ivysaur

Kozu is now getting somewhat peckish, and decides to act like a Leech and nibbles off one of Vinestrike's leaves. Mmm, chewy (5 Damage / 3 Healing / 9 EN). Vinestrike suddenly decides to add some spice to the meal, and her leaves glow white and red, before launching a Hidden Power into Kozu's mouth (7 Damage / 5 EN). Tanka seems to find it easier making more shields to guard himself and set up a Reflect (8 EN).

: 90/46

: 81/78

: 39/36

: 0/0

Kozu spits out the leaf from her mouth, and lets her Wings glow a white, does a backflip and slams into Vinestrike with a Wing Attack (11 Damage / 3 EN). Vinestrike goes in with a Take Down on Kozu, although the presence of a relfect slows her down (4 Damage / 1 Recoil / 7 EN). Tanka then ignores her trainer using strange words for a move, and launches a Venoshock at Vinestrike (12 Damage / 7 EN).

: 90/39

: 57/71

: 35/33

: 0/0

Kozu now swoops down on Vinestrike, and bombs a load of concentrated gas at her in a Air Cutter, scoring a CRITICAL HIT (16 Damage / 3 EN). Vinestrike notices that the Light Screen had faded, and lobs more spicy balls of pain at Kozu in a Hidden Power (12 Damage / 5 EN). Tanka finds this an outrage, and resets her Light screen (8 EN). Great...

Speed Order: Kozu ~ Vinestrike ~ Tanka ~ Aquastrike

As this match becomes incredibly hard to ref with any kind of flair, Kozu begins with a Wing Attack. WOW (11 Damage / 3 EN). Vinestrike replies with ANOTHER Take Down, and is pissed as the screens prevent p.much all the damage (4 Damage / 1 Recoil / 7 EN). Tanka does the same fucking thing, only aimed at the OTHER Ivysaur (9 Damage / 2 Recoil / 7 EN).

: 88/24

: 20/59

: 19/27

: 0/0

Kozu now calls Vinestrike "Chewy, with a spicy aftertaste". That Taunt (10 EN) earns him a nice award of a Critical Hit Hidden Power (10 Damage / 5 EN). Tanka gives a simple smirk, and causes a rain of pain over Vinestrike to strike in a Venoshock (12 Damage / 7 EN).

: 88/17

: 8/54

: 9/17

Kozu now rallies up into a Brave Bird, slamming into Vinestrike and KOing her (8 Damage / 2 Recoil / 7 EN).
