Default VFXCross vs shinyskarmory: Duel at the Pokemon Stadium!

Well, well, folks, welcome to the Pokemon Stadium. Here we have a newcomer, VFXCross, up against one a relatively experienced competitor, shinyskarmory. Everyone, give a big hand to the new guy as he enters what is sure to be an epic battle!

The rules of the match are as follows:

2 Recovers/5 Chills
Arena: Pokemon Stadium - A basic arena with no gimmicks or surprises.

Here are the teams of the players in question:

VFXCross' Team:
Daphne the Deerling


Neptune the Omanyte


Atlas the Venonat


shinyskarmory's Team:
Skye the Trapinch

Pontiac the Scratchet

Finley the Mudkip


(A note to shinyskarmory: your Scratchet has no nature listed and no stat modifications, so it can be: Bashful, Docile, Quirky, Hardy, or Serious. I expect you to put one of those in your profile for Scratchet - and since you've already battled with it, if you want a different nature, you'll have to buy it with 7 CC.)

Turn order:
- VFXCross sends out his first Pokemon
- shinyskarmory sends out his first Pokemon, orders
- VFXCross orders
- I ref

I'm going to enjoy squishing you like a Metagross stepping on a Sunkern.

Go, Pontiac!

Submission->Bulk Up->Submission

"So much for friendly competition...Daphne, start off with a jumping kick, then work yourself up for the next round! Finally, you need to fire off another jump kick!"

Jump Kick -> Work Up -> Jump Kick

Before Round 1:

Deerling (F)
90 HP
100 EN
2/2/1-/2/87
Chlorophyll/Sap Sipper
+18 Acc


Scratchet (M)
90 HP
100 EN
3/3/1/3/40
Scrappy/Prankster

Squaring off in the Pokemon Stadium, VFXCross and shinyskarmory each release their Pokemon: a Deerling for the first Trainer and a Scratchet for the second. Deerling charges at Scratchet to begin the battle - what's this? A knee crashes into Scratchet's head, dealing heavy damage. However, Scratchet is quick to respond by slamming Deerling into the ground, feeling some of the pain of the blow. Deerling then backs off, and starts hopping up and down - almost as if it's working itself up. Scratchet responds by settling into a deep crouch and flexing its muscles - it can't bulk up just by doing that, can it? At any rate, Deerling crashes into Scratchet once more, its increased strength matched by Scratchet's improved defenses. Scratchet responds with an even more powerful throw than before - perhaps that exchange in setup moves was not the most advantageous of plays for VFXCross...

After Round 1:

Deerling (F)
44 HP
79 EN
2/2/1-/2/87
Chlorophyll/Sap Sipper
+18 Acc/+1 Atk/+1 SpA



Scratchet (M)
52 HP
83 EN
3/3/1/3/40
Scrappy/Prankster
+1 Atk/+1 Def

Calcs


Turn Order:
-VFXCross orders
-shinyskarmory orders

"It isn't over till it's over! Daphne, go ahead and start off by using an electric wave to paralyze the opponent! Then, go ahead and fire off some seeds to sap a bit more health. After that, fire off two kicks to the face!"

Thunder Wave -> Leech Seed -> Double Kick

Keep at it.

Start by tripping up the Deerling with Grass Knot. Then, Submission twice.

Before Round 2:

Deerling (F)
44 HP
79 EN
2/2/1-/2/87
Chlorophyll/Sap Sipper
+18 Acc/+1 Atk/+1 SpA



Scratchet (M)
52 HP
83 EN
3/3/1/3/40
Scrappy/Prankster
+1 Atk/+1 Def

The second round begins with a jolt of electricity from Deerling - Scratchet is clearly having trouble moving after that! It responds with an ill-considered loop of grass, strengthening Deerling due to its Sap Sipper. Deerling responds by covering Scratchet in Leech Seeds, while Scratchet slams it into the ground. Deerling manages to throw two kicks before finally succumbing to another throw... but Scratchet is at low health and burdened with status conditions. Can VFXCross still salvage a victory?

After Round 2:

Deerling (F)
-5 HP
59 EN
2/2/1-/2/87
Chlorophyll/Sap Sipper
+18 Acc



Scratchet (M)
25 HP
64 EN
3/3/1/3/40
Scrappy/Prankster
PRZ (20%)
Seeded (4A)

You've done well. Get a little damage on Venonat before you faint.

Fury Swipes->Rock Smash->Fury Swipes

If Venonat uses Psybeam, replace your current action with Hyper Voice to break its concentration. Do not push back actions.

Before Round 3:

Venonat (M)
90 HP
100 EN
1-/2/3+/2/45
CompoundEyes/Tinted Lens


Scratchet (M)
25 HP
64 EN
3/3/1/3/40
Scrappy/Prankster
PRZ (20%)
Seeded (4A)

Venonat pops out of VFXCross' Poke Ball, eager to pick up the battle where Deerling left off. It fires a Signal Beam, putting Scratchet in critical health. Scratchet retailates with one... two... three swipes, dealing some damage to Venonat. However, the drain from Leech Seed takes its toll on Scratchet, leaving Venonat in decent position. Venonat scatters poison-tipped caltrops all over the opposing field as Scratchet launches an ineffectual punch, dropping Venonat's defense. Finally, Venonat finishes the round with a Signal Beam, but not without a few small wounds to show for it. The battle seems even on the surface, but will it remain so? Tune in next time to find out!

After Round 3:

Venonat (M)
81 HP
84 EN
1-/2/3+/2/45
CompoundEyes/Tinted Lens
-1 Def


Scratchet (M)
-3 HP

"It's your time to shine, Atlas! Fire off another one of those beams! After that, take advantage of those toxic spikes you laid down earlier and accelerate the poison with a shock! He should still be standing after that, so fire off another signal beam!"

Signal Beam -> Venoshock -> Signal Beam

Before Round 4:

1-/2/3+/2/45
CompoundEyes/Tinted Lens
-1 Def


Trapinch (F)
90 HP
100 EN
5+/2/2/2/8-
Hyper Cutter/Arena Trap

shinyskarmory sends out his Trapinch, unknowing of the bloodbath to follow... A beam of Buggy energy strikes Trapinch, severely disorienting it... though Trapinch is able to respond with an Earthquake, it slams its head into the ground in an attempt to Rock Slide... the final volley is repeated, all while Trapinch takes damage from the Poison... it looks like VFXCross is in the lead. Can he maintain it? Tune in next time to find out!

After Round 4:

Venonat (M)
43 HP

CompoundEyes/Tinted Lens


Trapinch (F)
31 HP
85 EN
5+/2/2/2/8-
Hyper Cutter/Arena Trap

Toxic Spikes (1) (shinyskarmory)

The first action of this round imitates the last of the prior: Venonat launches a beam of buggy energy while Trapinch unleashes a tremooooooooooooooor! After poison takes its toll on Trapinch, a vile blob of sludge from Venonat is enough to knock it out. shinyskarmory is in a bind, but maybe, just maybe, he can emerge victorious...

After Round 5:

Venonat (M)
24 HP
52 EN
1-/2/3+/2/45

If either Venoshock poisons you, replace the Rock Slide in action 3 with Facade.

Mudkip (M)
90 HP

Poisoned

Toxic Spikes (1) (shinyskarmory)

shinyskarmory brings his final Pokemon into the fray: a Mudkip, poisoned upon landing on the purple-tipped caltrops. Venonat unleashes a poisonous assault on Mudkip, who drops an avalanche of rocks onto it. Venonat manages to bug (haha geddit?) the Mudkip, but quickly faces powerful retaliation, dealing enough damage to knock it out, and then some. However, Mudkip is cleraly the worse for wear - can shinyskarmory scrape a win? Tune in next time for what may be the final installment of this battle!

After Round 6:

Venonat (M)
-13 HP
40 EN
1-/2/3+/2/45

Before Round 7:

Omanyte (M)
90 HP

2/4/3/2/35
Swift Swim/Shell Armor


Mudkip (M)
55 HP
81 EN
4+/2/1-/2/40

Poisoned

Toxic Spikes (1) (shinyskarmory)

This round proceeds rather slower than was previously anticipated - Omanyte slowly racks on damage with Mud Shots, slowing Mudkip to a snail's pace, while the meme-inducing 'mon in question lands a couple of respectable hits. However, Poison is taking its toll on Mudkip, and it can't battle for much longer. Who will be victorious? Perhaps we'll find out after the next round!

After Round 7:

Omanyte (M)
65 HP
