Team SOS



Team IAR:

This seems fair enough. And as the challenge acceptor, I order first (always need to remind myself...) Note to self: update Cloud Nine in George's abilities.

George: Toxic (Hippowdon) >>> Ice Beam (Hippo) >>> Power Whip (Hippo)
If Hippowdon uses Protect, use Swords Dance and push actions down.
If Hippowdon uses Substitute A1, use Muddy Water instead of Toxic.

The OG: Scald (Hippo) >>> Ice Beam (Hippo) >>> Scald (Hippo)
If Cleffa uses Magical Leaf, use Mirror Coat.

Random entered the now nerfed cage & faced an old rival of his. Random sends in Kuraz & Stortamus to counter, but...First things first...



Ahh, Much better. Now, Stortamus enters, but I choose not to activate Sand Stream...Initially...Now to what's at hand...

"Let the fun begin guys! First off, Kuraz, distract those two fools while Stortamus sets up our Mudstorm without any troubles! Then we shall start taking down the Slobber thing! Stortamus, counterattack it while Kuraz gives it a slapping! Lastly, I want Stortamus to burrow around while Kuraz continues to be a pain & use George's own attack on Squirtle!"

Stortamus: Ability: Sand Stream (A1, not upon entry) > Revenge (George) > Dig (George)
Kuraz: Evolve (Pre-A1) > Follow Me > Wake-Up Slap (George) > Copycat (George's Power Whip, use on The OG)

The battle kicks off in a sparkly fasion as Kuraz transforms into Clefairy!
After that the attacks get started. Defying common sense, the Hippo moves first, bringing a slightly delayed Sand Storm using his ability (did you delay it for the sake of 1 energy or what?). George is next to go, and he fires a Toxic gloop straight at Stort-wait it seems to have missed and hit Clefairy! In fact it appears that this was Team Random's plan; it was in fact Clefairy who moved first after all, luring his opponenets attacks with Follow Me! Squirtle also redirects his attack, a stream of Scalding Hot Water, towards Kuraz the Clefairy.
Though the fastest around (somehow) Stortamus still seems dislinclined to attack, eating a pair of Ice Beams from his opponents. Clefairy gives Lickilicky a little slap but it barely compares to Hippowdon's Revenge! A strong first strike by Stortamus indeed.
It isn't long after that that the hippo scurries underground, narrowly avoiding a vicious Power Whip from George and Squirtle's second Scald. Clefairy attempts to use his own Power Whip against Squirtle based on what he saw used by Lickilicky, but since it was not the last used move in the round he ends up Scalding it instead. Luckily Stortamus picks up the slack once again, emerging beneath Lickilicky and dealing decent damage with Dig.

Team IAR:
Clefairy/Hippowdon
89 HP/78 HP
78 EN/73 EN
Toxic (2)/(None)

Team SoS:
Lickilicky/Squirtle
70 HP/79 HP
78 EN/83 EN
(None)/(None)

The Sandstorm Rages

What happened to my precious Mudstorm that was supposed to show up...Also, You sort of have to post calcs & rolls now, since they're sort of...Mandatory...Lastly, FRIEND GUARD!!!

"Yes, yes. It's an okay start. Now to capitalise!"

Stortamus: Thunder Fang (The OG) > Dig (The OG) > Facade (The OG)
IF The OG Protects successfully, THEN Redirect to George
IF First Sub Triggered AND it was used A1, THEN Revenge (George) instead, AND push actions back by one.

Kuraz: Mimic (George's Power Whip) > Power Whip (The OG) > Magical Leaf (The OG)
IF The OG Protects successfully WHEN you are targeting it for an attack, THEN Wake-Up Slap (George) instead, AND push actions back by one.

Fabulous. Damn you, Follow Me. Anyway, George's Cloud Nine is outdated.

Cloud Nine:

Type: Trait

Pokemon with Cloud Nine will not suffer any negative effects of weather, but will benefit from all positive effects. Sunny Day and Rain Dance do not increase the damage of attacks against them, or decrease the damage of their attacks. They suffer no damage in Hail and Sandstorm. Their SolarBeam will retain its BAP in Hail, Rain Dance, and Sandstorm, while the charge is still removed under Sunny Day. SolarBeam always charges against them, Blizzard, Thunder and Hurricane will always check with their 70% accuracy (or 50% if a weather effect reduces it.)

Cloud Nine also has a command that can nullify weather on the field.

Command: (Ability: Cloud Nine)

Pokemon with this ability: Psyduck, Golduck, Lickitung, Swablu, Altaria, Lickilicky.

Click to expand...

Zetta sexy, no?

George: Activate Cloud Nine to dispel the Mudstorm >>> Hammer Arm Clefairy >>> Ice Beam Hippowdon.

The OG: Scald Hippowdon (gogogo burn hax!) >>> Protect >>> Mirror Coat Clefairy

I raise my middle finger to the mudstorm.

IAR I did a few rolls for accuracy for the mudstorm, nothing changed. I knew I'd forgotten something...
I'll add calcs from now on.

While Kuraz takes a second shot at Mimicing Power Whip his Teammate takes the Offensive, chomping down on the OG with Thunder Fang. Squirtle returns fire with Scald while his teammate uses magic powers to disspiate the sandmudstorm.
In what could be described as a total dick move to a supposed ally, the OG decides to Protect himself, leaving his opponents no choice but to focus fire George. He manages to fend off Clefairy to some extent with a powerful Hammer Arm, but still finds himself being Slapped and... Digged?
The now vulnerable Squirtle then suddenly finds himself as the center of attention. Stortamus' Facade strikes first with Clefairy's Critical Magical Leaf following. He manages however to reflect the force of the latter back in the fairy's face with Mirror Coat, while a now-slower George fires an Ice Beam at Hippowdon.

Geez, this is way too close... And as Random said above, rolls too please.

George: Muddy Water (it's described as being spat from the user in the DAT, IIRC) >>> Ice Beam Hippowdon >>> Muddy Water
If Hippowdon uses Dig, use Hammer Arm Clefairy.

The OG: Scald Hippowdon (BURNHAX NAO) >>> Water Pulse Clefairy >>> Scald Clefairy
If Clefairy uses Magical Leaf again, Mirror Coat it right back, and shift dem actions down.

Action 3 for Kuraz was supposed to be Power Whip: Kuraz's sub DID say push actions back...Also, FRIEND GUARD (Factor it in)!!!

"Hmmm..."

Stortamus: Dig (The OG) > Rock Slide > Dig (The OG)
IF The OG faints, THEN redirect to George

Kuraz: Protect > Power Whip (The OG) > Protect
IF The OG faints, THEN redirect to George

My mistake about the Power Whip... I feel its probably necessary to fix this, as it makes a considerable difference. I'll give you guys a chance to change actions, since its quite a change.
Friend guard hasn't been taken into account because Kuraz only had 4 DC when it was sent into battle.
As for rolls.... sigh.... does it really matter? It just seems like a nuisance to me.

I'm fine with my actions, unless SoS wants to change.

Kuraz had 4 DC, but gained DC #5 upon entry & evolution... :|

It's not whether it matters, Jesseus, it's what is required now... I'm going to reorder if nobody minds.

George: Muddy Water >>> Ice Beam Hippowdon >>> Muddy Water
If Hippowdon uses Dig, on A1 and A2, use a combo of Muddy Water and Muddy Water, on A3, Hammer Arm Clefairy.

The OG: Protect >>> Scald Hippowdon >>> Water Pulse Clefairy
If Clefairy uses Protect A3, chill.

If that's the case, then so shall I.

Stortamus: Dig (George) > Thunder Fang (The OG) > Iron Head (George)

Kuraz: Protect > Follow Me > Power Whip (The OG)

Kuraz and the OG both Protect themselves, leaving George and Stortamus to do all the battling. Stortamus burrows underground, and George waits patiently for him to emerge, preparing a devastating combo. Unfortunately, the Dig attack seems to catch him off guard and the Super Muddy Water misses entirely!
Lickilicky cools down and Hippowdon takes the stage as the unquestioned most powerful dude around, chomping down on Squirtle with a Thunder Fang. However, something within the tiny turtle stirs, and suddenly a huge Torrent bursts forth which he fires as a Scalding hot blast straight at - Clefairy? Oh yes, it seems to have pulled that "Follow Me" trick again.
Seeing George recover, Stortamus attempts to put him off again using Iron Head. Clefairy and Squirtle exchange blows with Power Whip and Water Pulse respectively, but the heavy hitter seems to be Lickilicky's powerful Hammer Arm against Kuraz.
With Squirtle on his last legs and George not far behind, it looks like its almost over for team SoS

"Alrighty folks, almost time to wrap this one up."

Stortamus: Thunder Fang (The OG) > Revenge (George) > Revenge (George)
IF The OG Protects (Combo or not) successfully A1, THEN swap A1 with A2
IF George Protects successfully WHEN you are targeting it for an attack, THEN Chill instead

Kuraz: Wake-Up Slap (George) > Flamethrower (George) > Wake-Up Slap (George)
IF George Protects successfully WHEN you are targeting it for an attack, THEN Chill instead

I was really hoping I could get a KO for Squirtle at least :(

Oh, whatever. Make it quick.

Both: chill >>> chill >>> chill

Not content to drag it out, SoS and his team decide to just chill out while the inevitable arrives.
It doesn't take long. a Thunder Fang from Stortamus finishes the OG before he even considers doing anything, leaving George to weather a barrage of fighting moves. It is eventually Kuraz's Wake Up Slap which, ironically, knocks him unconcious.
