Resultingly it feels it can weather every strike, and will not dodge an attack even if ordered to. Only when a OHKO move is issued by the opponent does sense return, and the Pokemon acts normally.

CRUSH THEM LIKE INSECTS

Hydra, Thunderbolt ~ Dragon Pulse ~ Flamethrower that Gastly!

Crackers, Dynamicpunch Eevee until it's confused and follow up with Dig spam on Gastly! (FYI levitate won't protect you)

[iss]

What BS.

Joel, I want you to start off by Yawning Machoke. Then, Shadow Ball the Machoke! If you somehow haven't hit yourself in confusion by now, Shadow Ball the Machoke again.

Air, I think DA never really liked other girls. Anyways, Hypnosis the Duclohm. Levitate should dodge those Digs, so you're fine. Then, Sludge Bomb then Shadow Ball at the Machoke. Even if you only get a two-turn sleep on Duclohm, it'll only hit you with a weak Flamethrower, so you'll survive. If you miss the first Hypnosis, use it again until it hits.

Joel the Eevee: Yawn Machoke ~ Shadow Ball Machoke ~ Shadow Ball Machoke

Air the Gastly: Hypnosis Duclohm ~ Sludge Bomb Machoke ~ Shadow Ball Machoke
If you miss the first Hypnosis, use it again until it hits

With that, I’ll start working on reffing.

As the two trainers square off on opposite sides of the arena, iss reaches for his Poke Balls, and in one swift motion, throws out Air the Gastly and Joel the Eevee!

(Before anyone asks, despite the title of the round, I’ve gone against my moral and caring center and am NOT slanting the RNG in any way at all. Period. End of story. Don’t ask, or else I actually will. Against you.)

After the competitors finish sizing up their opponents, Air gives the Duclohm a hypnotizing stare, and Hydra starts feeling sleepy… very sleepy… so very sleepy, in fact, that she curls her 2 heads up in her fluffy cloud body and falls into an intense sleep! She’ll be out cold for a while! Then, continuing the sleeping tactics, Joel yawns at Crackers and makes him sleepy, too! But he’s not falling asleep yet; instead, he goes on the offensive and delivers a Dynamic Punch straight to Joel’s face, courtesy of his No Guard ability, for a tough 26 damage, leaving Joel dazed and confused for the next 3 actions!

Seeing the Duclohm completely incapacitated, Air decides to create balls of sludge inside its toxic cloud body and fling them at Crackers. The Sludge Bombs hit the Machoke for 15 damage. Meanwhile, Hydra still looks cute and fluffy as she happily sleeps and dreams about… floating… pumpkins… OK, moving on! Joel attempts to fire a Shadow Ball at Crackers, but he accidentally hits himself in his confusion! He takes 3 damage from his stupidity! (My goodness, these Pokemon are weird.) Crackers then decides to Dig underground and attack Air, but as he jumps out and tries to attack the Gastly, he realizes too late that Dig misses due to Levitate! Silly Crackers! After the unsuccessful Dig, the Yawn from Joel earlier makes Crackers fall asleep for 3 Actions!

As Hydra and Crackers sleep soundly and dream about floating pumpkins and… OH GOD THAT CRACKERS HAS A SICK, TWISTED MIND!! Jeez, I’ll be scarred for life after seeing that. To punish the sick pervert, both Air and Joel fire Shadow Balls at the Machoke, dealing a total 24 damage, and lowering the Machoke’s Special Defense by 1! (which is equal to 1) After a nice nap, Hydra has risen from her pluffy body and is ready to fight next round!

Joel hurt itself in its confusion! Joel -3 HP -3 EN Confusion Counter -1

After an entire round focusing on Crackers, iss has barely put a dent in him! Will our hero iss be able to defeat the dreaded Hydra? Or will he fall victim to Darkamber8828’s evil tactics (don’t deny it, Darkamber; using evolved Pokemon against unevolved ‘mons is DEFINITELY evil.) Once I ref the next round, we’ll find out!

STILL GONNA OWN YOU

Joel: HP Fighting Machoke ~ Shadow Ball Machoke ~ HP Fighting Machoke

Air: Hypnosis Duclohm ~ Sludge Bomb Machoke ~ Hypnosis Machoke
If the first Hypnosis misses, replace the second action with Hypnosis Duclohm

WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH HUMONGOUS SLEEPS...and spd drops.

HAX

Also, it's totally fair, because evolution takes 20% energy.

Crackers, Dynamicpunch ~ Dynamicpunch ~ Dynamicpunch Eevee.

[FlamingFighter]

Sorry I haven`t reffed this yet, guys; my computer crashed and I am currently using the DSi browser, since it`s my only working Internet connection. (As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.)
Unfortunately, because the Opera designers that made the DSi browser are total jerks, I`ll probably be unable to ref, seeing as it has taken roughly 45 minutes to get to this thread, thanks to an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 5 min/page loadtime, and I can only have 1 webpage open at a time. I can`t even begin to imagine how long it would take to load the Data Audit. If I can find my iPod Touch, than I`m fine, since Safari is WORLDS- no, UNIVERSES better than this POS.

Also, in response to Flora`s corrections:

1) Machoke's D-punch was correct, so why did you post the calc's?

2) I used the damage calculator Google doc for all the calc's, and I double checked most of the calc's, epecially the Gastly/Eevee attacks, which seemed abnormally low. I think the calculator may be screwed up, but otherwise, I have no clue what I did wrong. The only thing I did by hand was totaling damage and energy at the end.

[Flora]

"I`ll probably be unable to ref"

Do you require a subref then? I'll be able to if you need it.

edit: Just checking, that's all.

I don't use the calculator so I can't really help you there. I do every calculation manually, sorry.

Well then, if you think you can keep it up, then off you go! Good luck!

[FlamingFighter]

I don't need a subref so much as an extension of DQ by, let's say, a day or two, to either:
a) Hope my computer gets fixed/replaced, or
b) Find my iPod touch.
If one of these things happen, then I will be able to ref normally.

Also, I just learned (~6 hrs ago) that I can't bring any electronics to my Boy Scout camp I'm attending, due to a lawsuit last year and a new camp policy formed in reaction to that, so from July 9th to 18th-19th, I will need a subref, unless my matches are done by then.

(Also, you didn't respond to my question/comments in the post above. Please do, if you don't mind.)

EDIT: I can keep up with my reffing, just not right now, which is why I'm requesting a DQ extension. Also, as I said in this post, I will need a subref later if this match lasts that long, so stay available if need be.

Also, why did you post the calc's for Machoke's D-punch? After all, they were correct.

DOUBLE EDIT: Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, I was out celebrating the 4th of July. (American Independence Day)
FINALLY got my computer back from the shop this morning, although it seems slower.
Reffing will be done ASAP, but without flavor. I don't want you guys waiting any longer.

TRIPLE EDIT: Jeez, all of a sudden my computer decides to suck. I'm 3/4 done with the reffing, then the computer crashes, then I boot it up, get a DOS screen, and my computer runs something called CHKDSK, which is "checking the disk for consistency." God, I hate Vista. Then, seeing as I have no clue WHAT THE F*** IS UP WITH THIS DAMN MACHINE, I run a full McAfee scan of my computer that turns up a grand total of 1 virus that fixes NOTHING, seeing as now, my computer is taking longer to load pages than my DSi. Thank God I have this bookmarked. I should have the actual reffing done within an hour's time.

Ready to DESTROY!!

Round 2: The Hax Gods Officially Ally With iss, Continued.

Air, realizing that Hydra is awake, stares at her and uses her hypnosis to make the Hydra exhausted once more, but because Hydra just took a round-long nap, the Duclohm only sleeps for 2 actions. Meanwhile, Joel continues the beatdown on Crackers by unleashing his hidden powers, which hit the Machoke critically, dealing 13 damage! The attack doesn’t disturb Cracker’s sleep, though.

Air then congeals some of her toxic body and flings bombs of sludge at the Machoke. They deal 17 damage, and poison Crackers, too! Joel also fires a ball of shadows at Crackers, which inflicts 11 damage! Suddenly, Crackers wakes up to strange music emanating from the background…

As Crackers gets up and stretches after a nice nap, Air stares hypnotically at him and makes the Machoke fall asleep, but Crackers knows that he must get up and fight, and only rests for 1 action. Hydra, after waking up once again, gathers static electricity in her fluffy cloud body, and shoots it out at Joel. The Thunderbolt (which is actually a lightning bolt, but that’s just me nitpicking) hits the Eevee for a grand 16 damage! Joel takes out his frustration on being hit on a sleeping Crackers by firing his hidden powers at him once more, inflicting 10 damage! Crackers seems significantly weakened by the external onslaught and internal poisoning, but he’s still ready to give it his all and fight hard for Darkamber! Now THAT'S what I call dedication!

I have no clue where iss has been, but he hasn't been here, so I am suspending this match indefinetely. (or at least until July 19th, when I get back from camp.)

iss, if you are reading this, you may post your actions, but I won't be able to ref until the date listed above.

You may find a subref in the meantime if you want, but I'd rather you not (I want Ref Counters.) It's your decision, though.

[iss]

Sorry, I sent a PM out to ASBers about taking a break due to VGC. I'm back now.

Eevee: Shadow Ball Machoke ~ HP Fighting Machoke ~ Shadow Ball Machoke
When Machoke dies, switch target to Duclohm

HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE, I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!
*hopes you missed me*
Anyway, my summer camp was fun. I'll probably post a story about it (where would I do that?), and I'm headed to Greece for 3 weeks tomorrow!! YAY!!

Don't worry about me being inactive; I'm bringing my laptop with me that I always use for everything, and they have free Wifi there. Socialist Internet=EPIC WIN.

Will post actions soon, but for the next 3 days or so, I'll be packing/adjusting to jet lag/enjoying EPIC AWESOME OCEANS AND BEACHES AND (hopefully) GREEK BABES! w00t!!

EDIT: As of this post, my post count= 8 squared.

DOUBLE EDIT: *facepalm* God, I fail.
Apparently, the edit with my reffing did not get to the Smogon server when I clicked the "Save" button.

OK, so let me spoil what happens. I memorized it, because this was probably the haxxiest round this battle.
1) JOEL KILLS CRACKERS.
2) Both Joel and Air get crits on Hydra.
3) Joel, on his last action, WOULD HAVE lowered Hydra's SpD with Shadow Ball, if not for Hydra's Shield Dust.

I'll run the actual calc's again and see how badly Darkamber will get crushed.

In unrelated news, Greece is fun.

ANOTHER EDIT: Derp, just realized that Duclohm has Shield Dust.

Round 3: The Fall, Demise and Inevitable Defeat of Crackers.

After an extremely hax-filled round, Air fires a Sludge Bomb at Hydra for a 15-damage hit. In response, Hydra fires bolts of thunder from her fluffy cloud body. They hit Joel and inflict 14 damage. Then, as Crackers charges up his fist for another DynamicPunch, Joel swiftly dispatches him with a well-aimed Shadow Ball that finally causes the Machoke to faint after 7 intense actions. As a reward, Joel is given 1 KO Counter.

Together, Air and Joel now double-team the Duclohm. Air fires the first hit in the 2v1 match: a Shadow Ball that inflicts 14 damage. Hydra continues to assault the poor Eevee, firing a ginormous (it’s a word, look it up) Dragon-powered Pulse of energy from its mouth that removes 13 HP from Joel’s health. Reacting quickly, Joel fires its Hidden Powers out of its body and hits the Duclohm with a Critical Hit for 12 damage.

The Gastly continues the assault on the lone Hydra with critting bombs of sludge that deal a grandiose 18 damage! Hydra continues to pick on Joel, this time shooting more thunderbolts. Joel, not enjoying Hydra’s beatdown, fires a ball filled with shadows that hits Hydra and inflicts 10 damage on Hydra’s Life Points. (lol)

Round 4: THE BONUS ROUND!!

Tired of how boring just attacking is, the Eevee decides to lend a hand and help Air formulate a devastating Sludge Bomb. This specific one, thanks to Joel’s help, hits Hydra for 21 damage. The Hydra doesn’t look too good, but musters the capacity to fire off a bolt of thunder at Joel. After all the hax in this battle, I honestly expect this to miss. Hey, it’s even not aimed- oh wait, it curved back to its target. It looks like Joel has had enough, and after the shock, lies motionless on the ground. As a reward for defeating the Eevee, Hydra is awarded a KO counter.

Air then stares helplessly at the warm, motionless body next to her. She then remembers all their past memories together: how they completely smashed apart Crackers; how they spammed sleep and destroyed their opponents as a result; an obligatory third thing. Air then snaps a pair of imaginary fingers in a “Z” pattern, says “OH NO YOU DI’INT!” in Gastly language, and gathers her raw anger, sadness, and fury into a shadowy ball that she forces at Hydra. It gets closer…

…wait, why’s the picture stopping?
NO! NO!!!! NOT NOW!!!
NOT THE DREADED LAGS!!!
NOW HOW AM I GOING TO KNOW WHO WINS THIS MATCH???
I CAN’T REF ANYMORE!!!! *sobs*

*Back in Loutraki, where I sob, attempting to overview the match’s proceedings and failing miserably.*

“Shroom, shroomISH shroom,” The red and yellow mushroom Pokémon sitting next to me says.

“Yes, FireShroom, I know the Shadow Ball is headed straight at Hydra, but it can still miss.”

“Prii Priii, togePRIIIII!” The round egg Pokémon in my lap says.

“I know that Shadow Ball is a 100% accurate move backed up by Air’s +24% nature boost, Madame Liberty, but it might not faint the Hydra.”

“SHROOMISH ISH SHROOMISH!” the Shroomish on the floor yelled and bounced. Behind him, Flickerflame belligerently crawls toward the computer as fast as her cute little caterpillar legs can carry her.

“Now, Shroomish, you really shouldn’t use that tone of voice. Talk quieter. Use your indoor voice.”

*various grumbles* “ShroomISH ish Shroomish!”

“Yes, FireShroom, Hydra would be fainted by the total BAP and STAB alone, let alone the crits or rank differences included. BUT I STILL CAN’T REF, BECAUSE I HAVEN’T SEEN THE ENDING.”

Then FlickerFlame, after having crawled up on the desk and reinserting a cable into the router (she’s a problem-solver; doesn’t talk much), the Shadow Ball goes back to normal speed and hits the Duclohm square on both heads (cuz it’s just that badass), and Starscream, the cute little automaton watching the proceedings at my side, throws its arms up and yells “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL LLLLETT!!!!”

“Well, that was a very fine battle. Now let’s continue.”

*Back in the ASB tournament arena, where the battle takes place*

With both of Hydra’s heads out of commission, it appears our winner in this battle is iss! For scoring the final kill, Air gets one KO counter!! Now it’s time for final rewards!!
Air, Hydra, and Joel all get 2 MC and 1 each of KOC, DC, and EC.
Crackers gets 2 MC, 1 DC, and 1 EC.
iss gets 2 TC (I think) and 1 shiny new win for his win count!
Darkamber gets 2 TC too, and 1 hax-tarnished loss for her to cherish for all eternity! YAY!
Oh yeah, and I get 4 RC!!!

This really must be the most hax-filled battle I’ve ever seen. I actually did run a RNG check to see if Thunderbolt hit.
Also, PROPHETIC WIN:

EDIT: Prefix change done.
Actually, I was concerned this post didn't reach the server, since the Socialist Wifi crashed directly when I posted this.

[Darkamber8828]

That doesn't count.

This whole match was bullshit.

I DEMAND ANOTHER REMATCH.

Actually, I'll come back later when my pride has been nursed.

Anyway, GG iss, and nice refs, FF.

Change the thing to (Completed) k?
