Maxim vs Danmantincan! A triples in MY ARENA!!!!

Leethoof · Sep 6, 2011

RULES:

Switch = Derp
Abilities = One
Items = Nope
Arena: Unown Soup
The battlers are on a solid platform in the middle of a giant bowl filled with delicous broth. No move restrictions at all, because you can safely go seismetoad on the platform and there is plenty of broth to swampert your enemies with. In the soup, there is one of each letter unown floating in around aimlessly. They are all close enough to pick up, and a battler may use one action each round (they can't just use three unowns) to use any move that begins with that letter. Once an unown is used, it cannot be used again.

danmantincan · Sep 6, 2011

Lethe (Flash Fire) on the right, Heather in the middle and Tepig on the left.

Maxim · Sep 6, 2011

Well, let's go with:
Serenity [Serene Grace] (Left)~Shadow (Center)~Major Ursa [Quick Feet] (Right)

EDIT: Whoops forgot my orders.

Serenity, start with a Nasty Plot, then go for an Ancientpower on Tepig

Shadow, I want you to transform into Litwick and Confuse Ray him. If you can't use his moves yet, just chill for the second action.

Major Ursa, start with a Taunt on Litwick, then Rock Slide as many enemies as you can.

Summary:
Togepi: Nasty Plot~Ancientpower (Tepig)
Ditto: Transform (Litwick)~Confuse Ray (Litwick)/Chill
Teddiursa: Taunt (Litwick)~Rock Slide

danmantincan · Sep 6, 2011

When facing a Ditto and a Togepi, there is only one option!

Meg: Taunt (Togepi)~Yawn (Togepi)
Heather: Taunt (Ditto)~Unown E: Eruption
Lethe: Unown M: Magic Coat (Teddiursa)~Flamethrower (Teddiursa)

Leethoof · Sep 7, 2011

Out here in my giant bowl of Unown Soup, another battles brews (pun 100% intended). A fierce triples match between Danmantincan, representing the fiery fire type, and Maxim, representing the regular normal type, send out their pokemon in the central platform. Danmantincan sends out some trusty little cup mons, Heather the Chimchar, Meg the Tepig, and Lethe the Litwick. Maxim responds with Serenity the Togepi, Shadow the Ditto, and Major Ursa the Teddiursa.

The speedy Heather begins with an obnoxious Taunt in Ditto's direction, making him far too mad to do anything but wriggle his blobiness in anger. Major Ursa goes for a similar strategy, Taunting Litwick, but the attack is instantly reflected! It looks like Lethe cleverly grabbed an Unown M out of the broth and created a Magic Coat. Now Teddiursa is also mad and frustrated, mostly at himself. Meg the Tepig continues the taunting madness by stopping Togepi in her nasty little tracks.

With everyone mad at everyone else, the offensive action starts now! Heather fishes around for an Unown, and she seems to like what she found. Suddenly, a massive Erupltion spouts from Heather, inflicting massive damage on all of Maxim's mons, and subsequently igniting Lethe's flame even more. Ditto is unable to do anything because of the taunt, so decides to wobble over to Litwick and Struggle all over its face. Ewwwwwww. Teddiursa grabs some delicous and hard chicken bits from the soup, tossing them up over the air in a huge Rock Slide! It managed to hit Lethe, but the chicken sailed harmlessly past Chimchar into the soup again. Meg is bored by the lack of being targeted, so decides to take a moment to Yawn. Serenity notices this, and begins to get drowsy well. Serenity, although tired, manages to magically float some more chicken bits towards Meg in an incredible show of AncientPower! It looks like Serenity was so proud of her work, she grew in power! Lethe continues the offensive prowess with a simple Flamethrower at Major Ursa, managing to severely burn the teddy bear.

danmantincan · Sep 7, 2011

Eruption only hits opponents, so any damage that my Mons took form it wouldn't happen, and Flash Fire wouldn't activate. You also said that Rock Slide hit Chimchar and missed Litwick, but Chimchar is still at full health and Litwick has low health for only taking a Struggle from Ditto.

danmantincan · Sep 7, 2011

Our opponents are looking tired, maybe they should take a nap.

Meg: Flame Charge (Togepi)~Flamethrower (Togepi)
Heather: Unown D: Dark Void~Brick Break (Togepi)
Lethe: Heat Wave~Heat Wave

Maxim · Sep 8, 2011

Sigh, this isn't going to end well...

Togepi: Unown P: Paleo Wave (Tepig)~Chill
Teddiursa: Unown S: Stone Edge (Litwick)~Rock Slide
Ditto: Unown G: Giga Impact (Chimchar)~Chill

Leethoof · Sep 8, 2011

As the action picks up once again, Heather decides to slow it down with a Unown D to use Darkrai's signature move, Dark Void. The malicous and mesmerizing pulse spreads across Maxim's team. The wave managed to hit all of the normal types, hypnotizing them into an intense sleep. While the entire normal team was napping, Meg cloaked herself in flames and charged at Togepi, while Lethe created a mighty Heat Wave to strike his side of the field.

Heather switches it up and goes for the offense, karate chopping Serenity with enough power to Break a Brick! Maxim's pokemon continue to sleep as Meg blasts a Flamethrower at Serenity and Lethe heats up the stew even more with another wave. Fortunately for Maxim, his team will wake up next round!

Maxim · Sep 8, 2011

Seriously, I did nothing that round.

Ok then, time for plan B.

Togepi: Unown G: Glaciate (Chimchar)~Ancientpower (Tepig)
If two of the same type of unown cannot be used (i.e. you can't use 2 G ones in the same round) use Unown S: Surf instead
Ditto: Unown F: Fire Pledge (Litwick)~Chill
If Fire Pledge will not work for whatever reason, switch both moves
Teddiursa: Unown G: Grass Pledge (Chimchar) ~ Rock Slide
If Grass Pledge will not work for whatever reason, switch both moves (eg. RS~GP)

danmantincan · Sep 9, 2011

Too bad I didn't post when you had all your mons use Unown S.

Heather, start by grabbing that Unown G before Teddiursa and then Gear Grind Togepi. Finish up with a Dig on Togepi.
Meg, you will grab that Unown S before Togepi gets the chance and use it to blast Ditto with a Searing Shot. Finish up with another Flame Charge on Togepi.
Lethe, your Flash Fire will take that Fire Pledge like a boss, so you can grab that Unown A and blast Teddiursa with an Aura Sphere. You can finish off with another Heat Wave.

Meg: Unown S: Searing Shot (Ditto)~Flame Charge (Togepi)
Heather: Unown G: Gear Grind (Togepi)~Dig (Togepi)
Lethe: Unown A: Aura Sphere (Teddiursa)~Heat Wave

Leethoof · Sep 9, 2011

After that low-action last round, both teams are going 100% offense now! Meg the Tepig is now faster than her ally, and grabs an Unown S with her snout, charging into Ditto with a fiery ball of Searing Shot, burning the blob! The flames even scorch Heather and Togepi! Heather does not want to be outdone, and grabs an Unown G Gear Grind to beat Ditto with the gear-shaped Unown. How cruel! Shadow the Ditto finally manages to do something this battle by...using a Fire Pledge....on Lethe, who eats the fire hungrily, activating Flash Fire!. Major Ursa quickly looks for an Unown G, but cannot find it, so instead uses Rock Slide, connecting solidly on both of his foes, though the burn reduces his strength. Togepi uses her ancient power to outrun the even slower Lethe, looking for an Unown G, and then an Unown S, but cannot find either one. What luck! Lethe just snickers with a ghostly laugh and takes a break from the Heat Waving to find Unown A and toss an Aura Sphere at Teddiursa.

Meg keeps the assault going with another Flame Charge at Togepi, hurting the little eggmon even more. Heather dives underneath the ground, awaiting an oppurtune moment. Ditto ignores the pain and suffering around him by chilling out for a moment, and Major Ursa tries to find the Unown G again, but it still isn't there! Togepi finally manages to get a succesful move off for her team by creating more AncientPower chicken bits, and it looks like her power grew even more!. Lethe continues to crank up the temperature with another Heat Wave, blasting Teddiursa and Ditto. Finally, Heather dives out of the ground and digs right into Togepi's reselient and powered up eggshell.

danmantincan · Sep 9, 2011

It's time to finish it!

Meg: Superpower (Togepi)x2
Heather: Brick Break (Togepi)x2
Lethe: Flamethrower (Ditto)x2

If Togepi uses Protect, switch target to Ditto. If targeting Ditto and Ditto uses Protect, use Chill instead.

Maxim · Sep 10, 2011

Eh well, we're screwed.

Togepi: Ancientpower x2 (Litwick)
Ditto: Transform (Litwick)~Night Shade (Litwick)

Good Game danmantincan ~~(Even if I was 2v3 the whole match)~~

Leethoof · Sep 10, 2011

As the battle winds down, Serenity the Togepi is hopelessly smashed by a relentless assault of Superpower and Brick Break, while Shadow finally manages to transform into Lethe, cleansing his burn in the process. Thus, the incoming Flamethrower does nothing but power Shadow up!

While the two fire starters charge in with their kung-fu against the now ghost type, and Lethe fires another useless flamethrower, Ditto does some damage with a terrifying Night Shade against Lethe.

Maxim · Sep 10, 2011

I think there may be a way out of this predicament!

Minimize x2
If Minimize cannot be used, use Night Shade (Litwick) x2 instead.

danmantincan · Sep 10, 2011

Meg: Rolloutx2
Heather: Taunt~Dig
Lethe: Unown E: Earth Power~Psychic
If Unown E is unavailable, use Psychic instead

Leethoof · Sep 10, 2011

Heather stops the Ditto's trickiness in its tracks with another Taunt, while Lethe and Meg go all out offense with a Earth Power and Rollout! These two attacks are easily enough to KO the innocent candle-imposter.

Maxim · Sep 10, 2011

Good Game danmantincan.

Maybe i should go for the rock gym after all :P

In any case, minor nitpick Leethoof, but Ditto can't get MC because he can't learn anything other than transform. :P

Leethoof · Sep 10, 2011

Nope Maxim no rock gym for you.

Also, fixed.
