(Completed) DarthVader vs Devoninja at the non-tournament arena

[Rediamond]

"I dunno. This place looks an awful lot like the tournament arena."

Didn't you read the white font?

"Gardevoir, the paper is white. How could I possibly read white font."

Psychic thing.

"So... of no use to me whatsoever?"

It depends on your outlook.

"..."

...

"I think I should explain something. I would be a very, very sarcastic ref. This would be one of the tamer things you can expect in your reffing. You'll see what I mean later."

2v2 Singles
1st or 2nd stage NFEs

Minccino(*) (F)
Nature: Adamant (+1 Atk, -1 SpA)
Type: Normal
Normal: Normal STAB; adapt comfortably to any surrounding after 3 actions. Able to use Outrage without losing focus.

Abilities:
Cute Charm: (Innate) This Pokemon’s natural cuteness causes Pokemon of the opposite gender in the same egg group to be attracted to it 30% of the time after striking with a contact move.
Technician: (Innate) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally have 6 or less Base Attack Power to have their Base Attack Power multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) Base Attack Power, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2). Because Technician is a multiplier on single hit moves, its effect is applied to Base Attack Power before any additive effects.
Skill Link (DW Locked): (Innate) This Pokemon’s skillfull aim makes its multi-hit moves always hit 5 times. The Energy Cost of multi-hit attacks is increased by three (3).

Gastly(*) (F)

Nature: Modest (+1 SpA, -1 Atk)
Type: Ghost/Poison

Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. 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.

[devoninja]

Alright Gastly. Start this thing off right. Start burning his face off. Oh wait, he doesn't have one. Well, burn him in the place-where-a-face-should-be-area. Then blast him with ghostly ghostlyness. Then go middle-school-bully-style on him.

Will-o-Wisp -> Shadow Ball -> Torment

[DarthVader317]

Ghost against ghost. Okay then.

Kit-Kat, strike first with a Shadow Sneak. Follow up big with a Meteor Mash. End by Yawning at their attempt to Torment you.

[Rediamond]

Round One: Duel to the death... after death... and Red is tired... to death... which was the death of flavor...

Nohface used Shadow Sneak!
It's super effective!
(4+3+1.5)*1.5=13 damage
-2 energy
Gastly used Will-o-wisp!
But it missed!
-7 energy
Gastly used Shadow Ball!
(8+3+3)=14 damage
-5 energy
Nohface used Meteor Mash!
(10+3+1.5)=15 damage
-6 energy
Gastly used Torment!
Nohface fell for the Torment!
-10 energy
Nohface used Yawn!
Gastly is drowsy!
-7 energy

Gastly
HP: 62
Energy: 78
Drowsy (falls asleep end of one action)

Nohface
HP: 86
Energy: 85
Tormented five actions (Meteor Mash, Yawn, Shadow Sneak blocked)

[DarthVader317]

Time to exploit the speed difference Kit-Kat.

Gyro Ball- Payback- Gyro Ball
If Gyro Ball is Disabled Then use Faint Attack action 3.

[devoninja]

Alright Gastly let's get something done before you drift off to dream land. Infuse your Shadow Ball with the fire from Will-O-Wisp, changing it's type to fire and giving it 100% burn rate. Then cooldown from that combo. You look like you're about to fall asleep as it is. Finally finish up with another shadow ball.

Will-O-Wisp/Shadow Ball -> cooldown -> Shadow Ball

[Rediamond]

Round Two: Phantoms of the Night

Nohface begins to spin around, moving faster and faster in a levitating rotation until he rolls forwards and slams into Gastly, dealing substantial damage to the ghost. Gastly replies by summoning up a huge cloud of spectral energy straight from the underworld and organizing it into a huge mass of shadowy Will-o-wisps that rotate around the arena before descending upon Nohface, almost dragging him back into the afterlife with it as he is seared by the burns of purgatory and hell unleashed into the world of the living. When the storm finally passes, Gastly collapses into a brief nap.

Nohface tries to earn himself some retaliation by charging up a powerful vengeful assault and slamming into Gastly as he sleeps, causing him to stir and prepare to wake up, but doing solid damage in the process.

Gastly finally wakes up, and blasts another ball of shadows, albeit a much smaller one, at Nohface. Undaunted by the smaller show, Nohface unleashes another spinning attack at Gastly.

Gastly
HP: 14
Energy: 63

Nohface
HP: 43
Energy: 60
Tormented two actions (Gyro Ball, Payback Blocked), Burned

[devoninja]

Destiny Bond -> Shadow Ball/Will-O-Wisp -> Cooldown

[DarthVader317]

Not much we can do to prevent Destiny Bond, so we'll just have to take it like a champ.

Faint Attack- Shadow Sneak- Faint Attack

[Rediamond]

Round Three: Eternal Peace

Realising that his time is short, Gastly prepares a strategy that the ref pioneered the abuse of. He connects his soul to Nohface, threatening to drag part of him back to the spirit dimentions if he went down. Realising that this fate would be inevitable, Nohface slowly slipped into the shadows until nothing remained in his place.

Then he struck. In a lightning fast blow he emerged from the shadows, knocking into Gastly before dissapearing again, only to ram into Gastly in shadow form, causing the ghost to go down and drag part of Nohface's soul with him. The battle continues on irregardless, but it looks like Nohface has won his trainer a significant advantage.

Gastly
KO

Nohface
HP: 9
Energy: 53
Burned

[devoninja]

Alright Minccino. It's up to you now. Give it your best shot.

[DarthVader317]

Not going to last long anyway, so:
Meteor Mash- Meteor Mash- Meteor Mash

[devoninja]

Let's set ourselves up an advantage.

Double Team (4 clones) -> Aqua Tail -> Thief

[Rediamond]

Round Four: Attack of the Clones

Newly out of her Pokeball, everyone's favorite little prevo to the most annoying Pokemon to ever enter an all abilities match appears! Abusing her superior speed, she jumps back and forth so quickly that it looks like multiple copies of her exist in the arena. Indeed, there are. She infused a rather healthy amount of her vitality to create several exact clones in the nature of a less permanent, energy draining substitute. Nohface has on idea what's going on, and fails to hit anything in his confusion, pain, and disorientation.

Suddenly, all five clones rush forwards at once, slamming down their tails upon Nohface hard, who finally collapses from the five way strike.

Minccino
HP: 90
Energy: 83
Four Clones

Nohface
KO

[DarthVader317]

Go Mixtli the Scratchet! w/ Prankster

[devoninja]

Alright let's finish this. Well, start finishing it anyway.

Substitute 15 -> Tail Slap -> Wake Up Slap

[DarthVader317]

Okay Mixtli, show them that clones and decoys don't scare you by letting loose a might Roar. Then use Brick Break, followed by Bulldoze.

[Rediamond]

Woah. Sorry, didn't see Vader's post. I'll try and ref tonight.

[Rediamond]

Have you ever had your reffing delete right as your about to post and want to kill the world? Yeah, you can identify then.
Minccino
HP: 48
Energy: 61

Scratchet
HP: 59

Alright, due to ASM stuff I can't ref anymore. I would ask that you please get a subref.

[Flora]

I'm up to subreffing. You guys can order.

DarthVader317's actions
devoninja's actions

[DarthVader317]

Thanks Flora.

Taunt- Brick Break- Superpower

[devoninja]

I'm guessing Red didn't ref accuracy on Roar but of course I can't tell because he doesn't post any calcs. W/E; water under the bridge.

Tail Slap -> Wake-Up Slap -> Tail Slap

[Rediamond]

Roar is a sound move. I don't care how many clones you have, they will all here it. Just my interpretation.

Round 6

Mixtli uses the Prankster within to hastily Taunt Minccino, stopping her from doing anything other than attacking. Minccino couldn't care less as she slaps Mixtli with a powerful, Technician-boosted Tail Slap! Oo, 4 hits! One of the hits even go critical, causing some of Mixtli's feathers to fall out!

Minccino decides to step up her game by using another one of her amazing slaps - the Wake-up Slap! One slap, and it's wake-up time for Mixtli... well, too bad he wasn't sleeping in the first place. Mixtli's fury builds up and causes him to slam a Brick Break onto Minccino's cuddly fur. Blood immediately fly into every direction, though the cute thing is still not done yet!

With her amazing tail, Minccino leaps onto her prey and slaps him silly! Sadly, this one only lasted for 2 hits. Mixtli has been waiting for the girl to mess up and smashes her body with a Superpower! Looks like some of her internal organs were crushed immensely, though Mixtli's muscles pale in weakness as a result of the Superpower. He'll be a bit weaker on the offense as well as the defense!
