It's too bad my Gallade is in a Raid at the moment...

Moon Sim Inc.

In the deserts of Nevada, there is a deceptively large building. Why 'deceptively' large? While it seems to sprawl out across the dunes, there is actually only one room. Indeed, it is a large room, but nothing spectacular.

Though it may seem weathered and abandoned from the outside, the interior of MoonSim Inc. is as full of hustle and business as any modern corporation, but with a subtle difference. In the middle of the room, only separated from black marble flooring and whirring machinery by a knee-height plexiglass barrier, there is a little bit of the moon. Or close enough, anyway.

Hitting the temptingly-red button causes a large Pokémon battling arena to erupt from the centre, immediately entrancing the multiple Elgyem acting as aides to the scientists. They were found here in the desert about twenty years ago, and MoonSim Inc. was subsequently founded on the site. The founders couldn't remember why they'd made it - it was just as if the idea had popped into their minds. Anyway, I digress.

Gravity is being tested today, so there will be two effects in progress:

1) When the match Seeker's Pokémon is winning, all Psychic Pokémon gain the Levitate trait.
2) When the match Seeker's Pokémon is losing, strong Gravity comes into effect.

Whether a Pokémon is winning or losing is decided by (HP+Energy)/(Original HP + Original Energy).

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

[Alchemator]

Due to my Psychic powers, I predicted that this situation would arise. Do not fear, Michael. I will foresee all of your problems and overcome them. For now, however, be calm and show your Inner Focus!

[Galladiator]

Whatever. The Sheer Force of Irwin's attacks will overwhelm you!

Start with a Sheer Force-boosted Waterfall. Then use Dragon Dance before ending the round with a Superpower!

[Alchemator]

Into the fray!

Start off with a Taunt as you take that Waterfall - luckily there's no chance of a flinch occurring. While he attempts to dance limit his movement with a Thunderwave, before finally smacking him around with a Sucker Punch!

Also, though I guess you will have already guessed this EM, the effects are only applied/changed at the end of the round.

Arena: Normal

Michael the Pawniard and Irwin the Feraligatr both leap onto the field with their newly activated abilities. Irwin moves first, much quicker than the tiny Michael, hitting him with a strong Waterfall attack! Michael stumbles backwards and almost falls on his butt, but regains his pose and starts Taunting Irwin on the spot, calling him weak and ugly (look who's talking.....). Irwin starts to Dance like a Dragon to prove how cool he is to Michael, but eventually he loses his cool and is unable to perform his move. Michael sees this and capitalizes on the moment by shooting a Thunder Wave at Irwin, paralyzing him. Irwin, now super pissed off, starts to launch an immense--Michael quickly steps in and socks Irwin with a Sucker Punch before Irwin can do anything! Irwin, shocked by this, just stands there fully paralyzed!


Who is winning???
Michael: (75+79)/(90+100) x 100 = 81%
Irwin: (90+88)/(100+100) x 100 = 89%

Despite Michael's smart playing and luck, it is losing the battle currently. The arena senses this, and a strong Gravity comes into effect!

It seems that this Sheer Force is strong. No matter - we have the tactical advantage!

Torment ~ Sucker Punch ~ Sucker Punch

If he elects to fail for whatever reason, replace the Sucker Punches with Night Slashes.

[Galladiator]

Gah...let's try that again.

Start with a Superpower, then a combo of Aqua Jet and Waterfall!

EDIT: The Waterfall part of the combo should be boosted by Sheer Force, methinks.

[Elevator Music]

There were lots of questions actions this round, so I had to consult a lot of people before I reffed. Sorry it took so long. I'm going to explain why I made the choices I did right here, but they are final so don't bother debating them.
1) Superpower is not affected by the Torment as it was fully paralyzed when it attempted to use Superpower last round, thus it did not actually use it. This is how it works ingame, so that is how I reffed it.
2) The combo fails, as Waterfall is affected by Torment, and you cannot use a combo of Aqua Jet+Waterfall if you cannot use Waterfall... I talked to so many people about this before I made my decision as it was highly debatable, so I'm just deciding this on my own.
3) I'm allowing Alch's substitution a3, and Sucker Punch will hit on a2 since an attack was selected (which is all that needs to happen for Sucker Punch to work).

Irwin, suffering from all the taunting and tormenting of Michael, decides to hit him with a powerful Superpower, doing massive damage. He then tries to follow up with a combo of--Michael socks Irwin with a Sucker Punch again (Irwin should really learn to see those coming...)! Irwin attempts to unleash his Aqua Jet+Waterfall combo, but distracted by how much he was tormented by Michael and the sucker punch he just got, he was unable to perform his move. Michael notices this and takes advantage of the delay by slicing Irwin with a quick Night Slash!

Michael is fighting valiantly, but nonetheless, he is still fighting a losing battle. The arena continues to have a strong Gravity!

Michael starts out this round by using Thunder Wave on Irwin again, bringing its paralysis back to full strength. Irwin does not like this, and quite frankly, is sick of all the shit Michael has been doing to him, so he prepares a counterattack by using Dragon Dance. Michael attempts to badly damage Irwin using a combination move, but before it can act, Irwin unleashes an immense Superpower, knocking out Michael for good.

As Galladiator recalls Irwin, he sends out Sarah the Kirlia, his last Pokemon. Galladiator orders Sarah to activate her ability Trace, copying Christopher's Clear Body. Christopher doesn't like copycats, and so it tries to hit her with a Meteor Mash..... but misses. Sarah sees this, and decides to hit Christopher back with a Will-o-Wisp, burning it. Christopher is really ticked off now, and smacks Sarah as hard as it can with Meteor Mash, raising its Attack in the process. Sarah fights back with a Confuse Ray, hoping that Christopher will accidentally take its anger out on itself. Christopher does indeed do this, hurting itself in confusion while it attempts to hit Sarah with yet another Meteor Mash. Sarah decides that she has had enough of Meteor Mash, and so she Disables it for the next 6 actions. Bad round for Christopher..... at least it will snap out of confusion next action...

Who is winning???
Christopher: (67+51)/(100+100) x 100 = 59%
Sarah: (75+81)/(90+100) x 100 = 82%

Partly due to Sarah's obscene amount of luck, and partly due to Christopher's earlier confrontation with Irwin, Christopher is in much worse condition than Sarah. The arena starts to have a strong Gravity!

Confusion is so cheap - time for some better tactics which are nonetheless simple.

Ok Christopher, as that Thunderbolt is being prepared I want you to use the strength of the gravity and your own strength to thoroughly earth yourself. If the electricity passes around your outer shell then your inner...innerness can't be hurt. Then use a combination of Iron Head + Zen Headbutt to slam him down so he can't use Confuse Ray!

Sorry Alch, I'll give you the grounding thing because Metagross is Steel-type and it would take a moment for Kirlia to build up an electric charge (I incurred a small energy cost for that but hey), but there's no way a -priority combination can stop a faster Pokemon from using an attack....

Pre-Round

Metagross (Christopher)
HP: 67
Energy: 51
Speed: 60
Ability: Clear Body
Status: BRN, Confused (1 action)
Other: +1 Atk, Disabled (6 actions)



Kirlia (Sarah) F
HP: 75
Energy: 81
Speed: 50
Ability: Clear Body (3 actions)
Status: None
Other: None

Arena: Gravity

Christopher starts out by using the high Gravity on the field and its own strength to ground itself, protecting itself from electrical attacks. Sarah decides to test this by using a wicked Thunderbolt on it, but it has no effect! As Christopher starts to charge up a combination, Sarah hits it with a blinding Confuse Ray that leaves it in an Intense Confusion for 3 actions. Christopher, fighting through this confusion, manages to hit Sarah with a combination of Iron Head+Zen Headbutt, dealing impressive damage despite its burn. While it is recovering from its attack, Sarah launches another Thunderbolt at Christopher, and this time the attack manages to hurt Christopher.

Who is winning???
Christopher: (51+31)/(100+100) x 100 = 41%
Sarah: (53+62)/(90+100) x 100 = 60%

Sarah, but it is losing its lead HP wise... Gravity stays in effect!
