(Completed) FlameStrike vs. Galladiator This should be interesting

Blazikenmaster-Zeo · Aug 17th, 2011, 5:04:12 PM

I step out onto the pokemon ASB tournament arena field, by this point in my reffing career, it should be a normal feeling to step out and talk to the roaring crowd about how the next match is about to go down, but to be honest, it still makes me nervous everytime I do it. But anyways, here are the rules for the day's battle!

4v4 Singles
DQ 3 days for trainers/ 5 days for myself
2 recovers/5 chills

Have fun guys!

Galladiator · Aug 17th, 2011, 5:07:45 PM

Yeah, I'm training a Gym team. Can you tell?

Anyway, I think I know what FS wants to send out, so...I guess I'll go with Jean to start. I'll be using Flash Fire.

Flamestrike · Aug 17th, 2011, 9:23:11 PM

Brandon entered the ASB Arena, ready for a training match against Galladiator, who already had a Litwick out on the field. Looking through his team, Brandon only had one good choice to fight it. "Alright, let's go Scorchstrike!" The Pokeball flashed and a Charmander stood in front of Brandon, ready to fight. "Let's do this! Start with a Crunch, then follow that up with a Rock Slide! Finish off with another Crunch! If he tries to use Confuse Ray, then make a 15 HP Substitute to block it!"

Summary:
Crunch -> Rock Slide -> Crunch
Replace action with Substitute (15 HP) if he uses Confuse Ray that action

Galladiator · Aug 17th, 2011, 10:05:09 PM

That was rather unexpected. Guess he's saving Totodile for later...smart move. Perhaps.

At any rate, let's try to shake it up a bit. Not much you can do about that first Crunch, but we can soften the rest of the blows with an Acid Armor + Acid Armor combo to boost your defenses in half the time! Then after cooling down, launch a Shadow Ball at him!

Round 1: Dinosaur/Dragon thing vs. the Purple Candle thing

Both trainers waste no time sending out their pokemon, Flamestrike sends out Scorchstrike the Charmander, while Galladiator selects Jean the Litwik. Charmander wastes no time, and like Scrub Mcgrub, he takes a bite out of crime with a powerful Crunch, that can't taste good for him though. Litwik doesn't really mind, instead it decides to create THE EPIC ACID ARMOR COMBO OF EPICNESS, increasing its Defense by quite a bit. Charmander realizes this as his Slide of Rocks does little against Litwik, as it chills out and prepares to get back into the battle. Charmander attempts a second crunch hoping for a bit more damage, but fails, as he gets sent flying by a Shadow ball, this battle doesn't look good for Charmander

Shadow Ball, Chill, Shadow Ball. If he tries a Crunch, use Acid Armor to damage him as he bites.

Flamestrike · Aug 19th, 2011, 3:26:52 PM

Wondering how using Acid Armor would damage him, Brandon nonetheless gave his orders. "Great job Scorchstrike, you won't be doing much damage but we need to press our advantage! Start with a Dig, then follow up with a Crunch! Finish off with another Dig! If Dig would fail to avoid those Shadow Balls, then replace them with Rock Slide!"

Summary:
Dig -> Crunch -> Dig
If Dig would fail to avoid Shadow Ball then replace the action with Rock Slide

Round 2
Alright folks, we stand now with one Armored up Candle, and a Dragon baby thing, still we head off into round 2! Charamander starts off by digging itself underground, by doing so it allows him to dodge an incoming Shadow ball from our Candle friend. Popping back up like a mole, Charamander smacks into Litwik from below for some good damage. Charmander misses the taste of Litwik, so decides to crunch on it some more, causing Litwik to boost his armor even more with more acid, how much acid can you put on yourself before it starts to hurt!? Charmander burrows underground once again, dodgin another Shadow ball like he's paid to do it. Finally, burrowing back up and BAM right into Litwik again, for super effective damage

Brandon decided it was time to switch things up; Scorchstrike would take forever to break through those defense boosts. "Scorchstrike, return!" he called, and the Charmander was absorbed back into his Pokeball. Picking a new Pokeball, Brandon released his new Pokemon. "Let's go Raptorstrike!" There was a red flash, and Brandon's Starly appeared on the field. Brandon waited to see whether or not Galladiator would switch.

Galladiator · Aug 20th, 2011, 8:17:40 AM

I'll switch as well.

Come back, Jean! You've done well, but besides Fire Blast there isn't much you can do here.

In her place, I'll send in my own Charmander, Jack!

Let's start out with a Rock Slide, then a Dragon Pulse! Finish the round with Crunch! But if Starly tries to use Brave Bird, use Flare Blitz to intercept!

Flamestrike · Aug 20th, 2011, 9:14:24 AM

"Huh, didn't think he'd give up all those defense boosts that easily," Brandon muttered as a new Charmander entered the field. "Alright Raptorstrike, not quite what I had in mind but we'll roll with it! Start with a 20 HP Substitute, then Brave Bird! Your Substitute will take the Flare Blitz for you! Finish off with a Double-Edge! If you get flinched by Rock Slide then push your actions down!"

Summary:
20 HP Substitute -> Brave Bird -> Double-Edge
If Rock Slide flinches A1 then push actions down

Round 3:

Well folks, it seems as if we have a Chinese Fire Drill on our hands, as Flamestrike recalls his Charmander and sends out his Starly. While on the other hand, Litwik returns to Galladiator and Charmander is sent out. Lets see how these two fair against eachother. Charmander begins with a Rockslide attack for good damage against poor Starly, followed up by Starly retreating behind a 20 HP Substitute. Next, Charmander, fires up for a Flare Blitz attack, which is blocked by Starly's Substitute. Following up, Starly uses a powerful attack of its own. Brave Bird. Slamming into Charmander hard. Next, a Pulse of Charmander's Dragon energy is released into the field hitting Starly, Starly ending this off with a Double Edge.

"Alright Raptorstrike, this matchup isn't going too well for us so let's change it up a bit! Start with a Whirlwind, then U-Turn! Finish off with a Roost! If he uses Dig on A1 or A2, chill and push your actions back!"

Summary:
Whirlwind -> U-Turn -> Roost
If he uses Dig A1 or A2, replace action with chill and push actions down

Galladiator · Aug 22nd, 2011, 3:10:29 PM

Okay, let's try something different! Build a shield of rocks using Rock Slide to block the Whirlwind! After that, combo Crunch and Fire Fang to fry that bird!

Round 4:

Starly begins flapping its wings very hard, it must be preparing to blow Charmander off the field with Whirlwind, but a Rock Slide blocks the winds path to hitting Charmander, but he takes damage from some of the rocks that flew into him (3 rocks, at 3 damage a piece). Next up, we have a U-Turn from Starly, while Charmander releases a powerful Fire Fang Crunch attack, for good damage to Starly. But while Charmander is resting from the combo, Starly uses Roost and heals all the damage off plus more.

Raptorstrike went back to his Pokeball due to the effects of U-Turn, and Brandon already had a replacement ready. "Good job Raptorstrike, now let's go Tuskstrike! Start with an Earthquake, then ram him with Head Smash! Finish off with another Earthquake! If he tries to use Dig to dodge a Head Smash use Earthquake for massive damage and push your actions down!"

Summary:
Earthquake -> Head Smash -> Earthquake
If he uses Dig on an action where you're using Head Smash replace that action with Earthquake and push actions down

Galladiator · Aug 23rd, 2011, 3:40:09 PM

Let's chip away at that elephant! Start with a combo of Ember and Fire Blast, to boost FB's power as per the new combo rules! Then once you've cooled down, launch a Dragon Rage at it!

Round 5

A new pokemon enters the field on Galladiator's side, Larvesta. It seems ready to take on Panphy. It starts off by Throwing Toxic goo at Phanpy, poisoning it pretty badly, which will come back to hurt it in the later Rounds. Phanpy counters with a powerful head smash! Not wasting anytime of status effects, just going for all out offence. Next Larvesta tries to go offencive with an Acrobatics attack, but inreturn gets a powerful Counter in the face. Larvesta uses Fireblast next, but Phanpy manages to avoid the attack and finish the round off strong with a Head Smash

Charmander attempts a second crunch hoping for a bit more damage, but fails, as he gets sent flying by a Shadow ball, this battle doesn't look good for Charmander HP: 74 Energy:82 Atk: Rank 3 (+) Def: Rank 2 SpA: Rank 2 SpD: Rank 1 (-) Spe: 65 vs. HP: 62 Energy:61 Atk: Rank 1 (-) Def: Rank 2 SpA: Rank 4 (+) SpD: Rank 2 Spe: 20 +3 defense Calcs Charamander used Crunch 14 damage, 6 energy Litwik used Acid armor combo 34 energy, +4 defense Charmander used Rockslide 7 damage, 6 energy Litwik is recharging Charmander used Crunch 7 damage, 6 energy Litwik used Shadow ball 16 damage, 5 energy __________________ My CAP ASB Team

"Great job Scorchstrike, you won't be doing much damage but we need to press our advantage! Start with a Dig, then follow up with a Crunch! Finish off with another Dig! If Dig would fail to avoid those Shadow Balls, then replace them with Rock Slide!" Summary: Dig -> Crunch -> Dig If Dig would fail to avoid Shadow Ball then replace the action with Rock Slide __________________ Nuzlocke Thread!

Charamander starts off by digging itself underground, by doing so it allows him to dodge an incoming Shadow ball from our Candle friend. Popping back up like a mole, Charamander smacks into Litwik from below for some good damage. Charmander misses the taste of Litwik, so decides to crunch on it some more, causing Litwik to boost his armor even more with more acid, how much acid can you put on yourself before it starts to hurt!? Charmander burrows underground once again, dodgin another Shadow ball like he's paid to do it. Finally, burrowing back up and BAM right into Litwik again, for super effective damage HP: 74 Energy:64 Atk: Rank 3 (+) Def: Rank 2 SpA: Rank 2 SpD: Rank 1 (-) Spe: 65 vs. HP: 41 Energy:44 Atk: Rank 1 (-) Def: Rank 2 SpA: Rank 4 (+) SpD: Rank 2 Spe: 20 +4 defense Calcs Action 1 Charmander used Dig 9 damage, 6 energy Litwik used Shadow ball Missed, 5 energy Action 2 Charmander used Crunch 9 damage, 6 energy Litwik used Acid Armor +2 Defence, -7 energy Action 3 Charmander used dig 5 Damage, 6 energy Litwik used Shadow ball Missed, -5 energy __________________ My CAP ASB Team Last edited by Blazikenmaster-Zeo; Aug 20th, 2011 at 12:18:22 AM.

Flamestrike Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 2,562	Brandon decided it was time to switch things up; Scorchstrike would take forever to break through those defense boosts. "Scorchstrike, return!" he called, and the Charmander was absorbed back into his Pokeball. Picking a new Pokeball, Brandon released his new Pokemon. "Let's go Raptorstrike!" There was a red flash, and Brandon's Starly appeared on the field. Brandon waited to see whether or not Galladiator would switch. __________________ Nuzlocke Thread!

Galladiator Join Date: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,874 Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away	I'll switch as well. Come back, Jean! You've done well, but besides Fire Blast there isn't much you can do here. In her place, I'll send in my own Charmander, Jack! Let's start out with a Rock Slide, then a Dragon Pulse! Finish the round with Crunch! But if Starly tries to use Brave Bird, use Flare Blitz to intercept! __________________ 14:15 Ragnarokalex i do believe its time to hit some children with sticks

"Alright Raptorstrike, not quite what I had in mind but we'll roll with it! Start with a 20 HP Substitute, then Brave Bird! Your Substitute will take the Flare Blitz for you! Finish off with a Double-Edge! If you get flinched by Rock Slide then push your actions down!"

While on the other hand, Litwik returns to Galladiator and Charmander is sent out. Lets see how these two fair against eachother. Charmander begins with a Rockslide attack for good damage against poor Starly, followed up by Starly retreating behind a 20 HP Substitute. Next, Charmander, fires up for a Flare Blitz attack, which is blocked by Starly's Substitute. Following up, Starly uses a powerful attack of its own. Brave Bird. Slamming into Charmander hard. Next, a Pulse of Charmander's Dragon energy is released into the field hitting Starly, Starly ending this off with a Double Edge.

Build a shield of rocks using Rock Slide to block the Whirlwind! After that, combo Crunch and Fire Fang to fry that bird! __________________ 14:15 Ragnarokalex i do believe its time to hit some children with sticks

Next up, we have a U-Turn from Starly, while Charmander releases a powerful Fire Fang Crunch attack, for good damage to Starly.
