(Completed) Broth of Unowns! Flamestrike v ToastTyrant

3v3 Singles
3 day DQ
Infinite recovers/chills
NFE only (middle stages are good)
Switch=OK!

Arena: Unown Soup (I've been dying to try this :3)
The battlers are on a solid platform in the middle of a giant bowl filled with delicious 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.

Abilities: Levitate, Technician
Levitate: (Innate) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading Ground moves like Bulldoze, Dig, Earthquake, and Magnitude. Other Ground moves can still hit. Levitate Pokemon will retain the Levitate trait when they use Skill Swap on an enemy, and will steal the opponent's ability (the user can specify if they want a foe or ally to gain Levitate from a Skill Swap.) If a Pokemon with Levitate uses Role Play, they will copy the opponent's abilities and retain Levitate.

Mold Breaker (DW LOCKED): (Innate) Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Flamestrike, Toast, Flamestrike, me.

[Flamestrike]

I'd roleplay but I'm not in the slightest mood to do so and Engineer can probably tell you why >.>

Scorchstrike the Charmeleon is up first.

[ToastTyrant13]

Alrighty, let's go Tourmali!

Paleo Wave -> Earth Power -> Paleo Wave

IF he uses Protect, THEN use Sandstorm

Alright, let's have some fun with this new arena.

BEGIN ROUND ONE

Welcome to this mess of an arena, a literal bowl of the alphabet!

Tourmali begins the round, zipping around unusually quickly for a rock like it. Tourmali shoots a beam of prehistoric energy at Scorchstrike, dealing a rather large amount of damage to the lizard-dragon! Scorchstrike takes the blow in stride and quickly funnels some of its life force into a little stuffed doll that he pulled out of who knows where! Not seeing any living target to attack, Tourmali opts to blast the little doll to a million pieces with a concentrated burst of energy below the ground. Indeed, the doll immediately disintegrates, revealing Scorchstrike, who holds up a charged fist and slams it into Tourmali for tons of damage! Tourmali returns to its first strategy and shoots another beam of prehistoric energy for tons of spam damage! Scorchstrike chooses to be interesting and pulls an Unown from the thick soup below him, tormenting Tourmali!

Though Scorchstrike seems down by quite a bit, it's still anybody's game! Can Flamestrike come back from this offsetting start?

BEGIN ROUND TWO

Tourmali begins by shooting a large amount of mud clumps straight at Scorchstrike, dealing some significant damage while lowering his speed! What a double-whammy! Scorchstrike appears angered and attempts to strike back by summoning a massive earthquake that shakes the entire soupbowl to its very foundations, but Tourmalin just levitates over the surface, shaking its head sadly at the failure it sees before it. Tourmalin puts Scorchstrike out of its misery without another beam of rocky energy.

BEGIN ROUND THREE

Tourmalin sees the new threat sent into the battlefield and promptly attempts to incapacitate him with some sleepy spores pulled right from the Unown Soup below. Unfortunately, Gatorstrike is just a tad bit faster at pulling fish out of soup, grabbing an Unown M and creating a barrier that bounces the spores back at Tourmalin, causing it to fall asleep! While Tourmalin slumbers, Gatorstrike rams into it with the force of water behind it, waking Tourmalin up! Angered, the little rock summons a raging sandstorm to the battlefield as Gatorstrike launches a high-pressure stream of water at Tourmalin, dealing large damage again.

BEGIN ROUND FOUR

Gatorstrike forgoes the Unown swimming below him and goes for an Aquafall, dashing as fast as his stubby legs can carry him. Tourmalin is too fast, however, as it grabs another Unown and turns it into a protective shield! While Gatorstrike rests, Tourmalin invades his mind and telepathically erases the memory of Aqua Jet. How cruel! As if on queue, Gatorstrike attempts to use that move and fails miserably as Tourmalin shoots another beam of prehistoric energy, dealing some decent damage.

BEGIN ROUND SIX

Gatorstrike begins by grabbing an Unown and using it to pummel SWAG's face in. Unfortunately, SWAG seems to react faster than normal, pulling out another Unown and using it to shield himself from the flurry of blows! It seems that Gatorstrike's offensive prowess trumps SWAG's defensive maneuver, though, as he summons up some more energy to strike with super power! SWAG seems to glow as he takes the hit, retaliating with a vengeful strike! That looked like it hurt! The round ends with Gatorstrike and SWAG exchanging blows again; Gatorstrike blasts SWAG with a powerful torrent of water, but SWAG takes the blow and counters with a fistful of electricity.

Gatorstrike begins the round by frantically siphoning some of his life into a stuffed doll. He tosses the doll into the soup and quickly dives into the shadows. SWAG sees the doll falling and quickly punches it into oblivion. Miffeed that the doll died so quickly, Gatorstrike sits outside the edge of the soup and just chills off while SWAG smashes his face in with another punch. Gatorstrike lets loose one last blast of Torrent-boosted water before falling to the third punch of electricity.
