Where are we? A seedy, back-alley poker place? With some video game / webseries characters? ...I'm not going to question this.

3-day DQ
2 recoveries/5 chills
Arena: The Inventory

---

Basic features: No external water source, no natural elements (ie, grass and rocks), digging permitted, seismic moves permitted, weather and SolarBeam not permitted.

This is the club where Max, Strong Bad, the Heavy and Tycho frequently play poker. In this battle, they are currently playing a game of Texas Hold 'Em, but if any seismic moves (Earthquake, Bulldoze, Magnitude or Fissure) are used, one of the poker players will take interest in the battle and come over to watch. However, if they get bored of the battle, they'll go back to the poker table. Each character's presence will have a different effect on the battle and each one has a different criterion that must be met for them to keep watching.

When determining which character comes over to watch when there is a seismic move, pick one at random who is currently at the table and has not already been chosen that round, with equal chances for each available character. Characters whose interest is piqued during a round will come over to watch the battle at the end of that round. While they are watching, their presence will have an effect on the battle, but in order for it to be maintained, all active pokemon must fulfil certain criteria each round. If they don't, then at the end of the round, characters who have lost interest will go back to the poker table. They can be brought back by more seismic activity though.

Here are the characters, the effects they have on the battle and the ways in which their interest can be maintained:

• Max
  • While he is watching, Max will use his latent psychic powers to find out what each pokemon is planning to do, and use his big mouth to blurt out this information, effectively giving all players one extra substitution.
  • To keep him watching, all pokemon must not use the same move twice in one round, and no two pokemon may use the same move in the same action.
• Strong Bad
  • While he is watching, Strong Bad will make fun of the pokemon, increasing the BAP of all of their damaging moves by 2.
  • To keep him watching, all pokemon must deal at least 25 non-passive damage each round to at least one of their opponents.
• The Heavy
  • While he is watching, the Heavy will periodically give out Sandviches, causing all pokemon to heal 5 HP per action.
  • To keep him watching, all pokemon must finish each round with at least as much HP as 15 less than the amount they started the round with.
• Tycho
  • While he is watching, Tycho will use his 20-sided die to influence the outcome of the match, increasing all secondary effect chances by a flat 10% after other modifiers.
  • To keep him watching, all pokemon must use at least one non-STAB, non-Normal-type move each round.

(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.
Steadfast (DW): (Innate) If this Pokemon is flinched, it becomes aware of the speed difference and increases Speed by one (1) stage to make up the difference. This Speed boost is maintained at the end of each round.

Who will win? Disney or Wicked?! Begin!
Objection selects his first Pokemon
SoS selects his first Pokemon and actions
Objection selects his actions
Reffing activate!

[Objection]

Let us begin with Master Control Program the Porygon.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Oh cool, sorry I didn't see that you'd taken this WW.

And for fairness sake Objection, I won't be evolving either of my mons in this battle that can do so.

But yes, Wicked will win. No-one may mourn us, but damn it if we don't defy gravity. Ahh, nobody on the site's going to get that. Or at least admit to getting it. Anyway, go, The OG! Porygon will be tough, but we can handle him, I'm sure.

Toxic >>> Scald >>> Yawn
If Agility is used to evade Toxic A1, shift actions down.

[Objection]

You didn't actually specify what to use on A1 if I use evasive Agility A1. But no matter.

Gravity - Thunder - Evasive Agility

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Quite right. Well, I won't bother fixing, since your orders won't activate the sub anyway.

[Objection]

Also, image totally relevant to the title of this thread:

Action 1
Toxic -> MCP (7 EN)
RNG roll (to hit, <=90 hit) 22 = hit
MCP was badly poisoned!

MCP used Gravity! (10 EN)
Gravity was intensified!

Toxic -> MCP (1 DMG)

Action 2
Scald -> MCP (5 EN)
RNG roll (to crit, 1/ 16 = crit) 10 = no crit
RNG roll (to burn, <=30 burn) 41 = no burn
(8+3+(4-3)1.5) = 12.5 DMG

Thunder -> OG (8 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 11 = no crit
RNG roll (to para, <=30 para) 84 = no para
(12+(3-3)1.5)(1.5)+1.75 = 19.75 DMG

Toxic -> MCP (1 DMG)

Action 3
MCP used evasive Agility! (7 EN)

Yawn -> MCP (7 EN)
The attack missed!

Toxic -> MCP (1 DMG)

As the two trainers begin the match (and, oddly enough, the players are so wrapped up in the game they don't notice...), The OG goes to the corner, picks up some grease, and flings it at MCP, badly poisoning him! Is this place owned by Aperture Science? Because that's the only way this place could be any more seedy...
Oh yea, the match at hand. Anyw- -gets flattened by the intense Gravity- OH COME ON
-card players are still unphased- how... I don't get it.

The OG, only slightly compressed by the gravity, then fires off a boiling hot spew of water, dealing a large chunk of damage to MCP and almost burning him! However, this villain will not be taking any of that, and gathers a giant amount of electricity, and fires a lightning bolt straight at OG, even creating a thunderclap, dealing absolutely massive damage!

As the OG tries to make MCP go night-night with a little Yawn, MCP just slides straight out of the way with some agility!

Kay, nobody except you. Chill out broseph.

Objection, did you draw that? Because it is totally bitchin.

[Objection]

No, I didn't draw that. I just found it on DeviantArt.

Anyway, Conversion - Combo: Thunder + Thunder* - Cooldown
If he uses Mirror Coat on action 2, change action 2 to Tackle and action 3 to Thunder

*98.83% accurate when you account for Gravity, Porygon's +speed nature and Wartortle's -speed nature

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Conversion, huh. One of the few attacks I still don't understand after 11 years of playing this game. Random type of one of its moves, eh? That means Normal, Psychic, Electric, Ghost and Ice in this case I believe. None of those resist Water, so let's get going!

Scald >>> Protect >>> Scald

Action 1
Scald -> MCP (5 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 11 = no crit
RNG roll (to burn, <=30 burn) 69 = no burn
(8+3+(4-3)1.5) = 12.5 DMG

MCP used Coversion! (4 EN)
RNG roll (for type, 1-25 Psychic 26-50 Electric 51-75 Ghost 76-100 Ice) 15 = Psychic
MCP became the Psychic type!

Toxic -> MCP (2 DMG)

Action 2
The OG used Protect! (7 EN)

MCP used Strun Bah Qo! (8+12)2 = 40 EN
RNG roll (to hit, <=99 hit) 77 = hit
RNG roll (To crit) 1 = crit
((12x2.25)+3+(3-3)1.5)(1.5)+1.75 = 46.75 DMG = 19 EN

Toxic -> MCP (2 DMG)

Action 3
Scald -> MCP (5 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 14 = no crit
RNG roll (to burn) 10 = burn
(8+3+(4-3)1.5) = 12.5 DMG
MCP was burned!

MCP must cool down!

Toxic / Burn -> MCP (4 DMG)

Really trying to fish for that burn, The OG once again flings some hot water at MCP, but still no burn! Huh? It appears that MCP is short-circuiting (well, computer/ arcade machine + water = you know...) and has turned into the Psychic type!

STRUN BAH QO!!! Wait, what the hell?! Stop trying to be the Dovahkiin, we don't even have a Skyrim character playing poker over there! Well that must of decimated... Nope. Nope, SoS made him use Protect. Now that's some Grade-A top-quality trolling right there!

Now, with MCP being forced to cool down, The OG flings another scald at MCP... and it finally burns!

Now that MCP is taking a ton of damage from status, and is low on energy, will Objection be able to turn the tides, or will SoS gain the easy 3-2?!

Bite >>> Scald >>> Bite
If Thunder is used, in a combo or not, use Mirror Coat.

EDIT: You bastard.

Action 1
Thunder -> OG (8 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 5 = no crit
RNG roll (to para, <=30 para) 73 = no para
(12+(3-3)1.5)(1.5)+1.75 = 19.75 DMG

Mirror Coat -> MCP (6+(19.75/3)) = 13 EN
(19.75x1.5) = 29.625 DMG

Burn + Toxic -> MCP (5 DMG)

Action 2
Thunder -> OG (12 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 14 = no crit
RNG roll (to para) 45 = no para
(12+(3-3)1.5)(1.5)+1.75 = 19.75 DMG

Mirror Coat -> MCP (17 EN)
(19.75x1.5) = 29.625 DMG
MCP fainted!

Still trying to be like the Dovahkiin, MCP shouts again (only Strun Bah this time) and deals massive damage once again to The OG! Suddenly, The OG starts glowing, and the damage goes straight back to MCP, almost knocking him out due to all the residual damage he's getting!

Second verse, same as the first. Only this time MCP fainted, and The OG looks like he could fall as well at any moment!

No worries. Hopper the Scyther can finish this guy off.


Safeguard - Aerial Ace - Aerial Ace
The first time he uses Ice Beam, change that action to Double Team (4 clones) and push remaining actions back.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Oh man, that guy always scared me when I was a kid. And for good reason. That Safeguard is going to cause me major headaches. We may as well do as much damage as we can!

Scald >>> Water Pulse >>> Scald

Action 1
Hopper used Safeguard! (10 EN)
Hopper's team is protected by Safeguard!

Scald -> MCP (5 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 11 = no crit
(8+3+(4-3)1.5) = 12.5 DMG

Action 2
Aerial Ace -> OG (4 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 5 = no crit
((6x1.5)+3+(5-3)1.5) = 15 DMG

Water Pulse -> Hopper (3 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 6 = no crit
(6+3+(4-3)1.5) = 10.5 DMG

Action 3
Aerial Ace -> OG (7 EN)
RNG roll = irrelanevt
((6x1.5)+3+(5-3)1.5) = 15 DMG

As The OG knew he was about to die, he sent out another wave of burning hot water, but it has no chance of actually burning, as Hopper set up a Safeguard... instead of outright killing the OG. Whatever.

Anyways, Hopper immediately did a stylish trick in the air (like an ace!) and struck The OG incredibly hard, almost knocking him out! In response? It just throws out an even weaker pulse of water!

Gloating about his victory, Hopper pulled off an even more stylish trick in the air, and slashed straight at The OG, instantly knocking him out!

Go, Elphaba! You could evolve right now, but I don't want to be a douche. I guess we can unlock Overcoat though? Useless, but meh. Unfortunately, there's no rocks for us to abuse Rock Slide, but, well, such is life.

Flamethrower >>> Toxic >>> Flamethrower
If Evasive Agility is used, use Dragon Dance and push actions down.

Keeping it simple for now.

[Objection]

Interesting that you choose to use Toxic when Safeguard is still up. Oh well.

Double Team (4 clones) - Fury Cutter - Fury Cutter

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Action 1
Hopper used Double Team! (16 EN)
Hopper made 4 clones!

Flamethrower -> Hopper (7 EN)
RNG roll (for target, <=20 Hopper) 66 = clone
The clone dissipated!

Action 2
Fury Cutter -> Elphaba (4 EN)
RNG roll (to hit, <=95 hit) 6 = hit
RNG roll (to crit) 11 = no crit
((4x1.5)+3+(5-4)1.5) = 10.5 DMG

Toxic -> Hopper (7 EN)
SoS is a derp-face!

Action 3
Fury Cutter -> Elphaba (4 EN)
RNG roll (to hit, <=95 hit) 83 = hit
RNG roll (to crit) 4 = no crit
(7+3+(5-4)1.5) = 11.5 DMG

Flamethrower -> Hopper (7 EN)
RNG roll (to hit, <=25 Hopper) 39 = clone
A clone dissipated!

As Elphaba begins breathing in flames, Hopper instantly moves about, and now there are... 5 of him! Obviously confused, Elphaba spits out a giant pillar of fire at the closest Hopper, but it turns out it's just a clone, and it disappears in a puff of smoke!

Hopper then begins to rush up to Elphaba to cut her with all his fury, and, in a moment of sheer confusion and epic derpiness, Elphaba spits out some poison in an attempt to slowly kill Hopper, but the green wave of Safeguard just made it harmlessly bounce off, almost hitting Strong Bad in the head!

As Hopper begins his flurry of attacks again, now stronger, but no longer receiving a Technician boost, attacks, but the damage output doesn't really change it all! Now back to her senses, Elphaba directs another flamethrower at the Scyther that attacked her... and that was a clone too! Will Elphaba EVER win? Poor girl...

If Shelgon uses Protect and did not use Protect on the action before, change that action to Light Screen the first time this substitution activates and Chill the second time.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Ok, now I'm mad.

WAIT WAIT WAIT. Since when does unlocking a DW ability cost energy? I can't recall that ever having been the case. Elphie, use your Twister to eliminate his clones, then kill it with fire.

Twister (eliminate clones) >>> Flamethrower+Ember combo >>> Flamethrower

[Objection]

Well, just because he got to 5/5 DC doesn't mean he automatically unlocks his DW ability. That's for you, the owner, to decide, and if you decide he doesn't unlock it, then he doesn't unlock it and doesn't pay any energy cost.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

SHE, good sir! Elphaba is the Wicked WITCH of the West! But I thought that was only the case for evolutions. Eh, it doesn't really matter, leave it as is.
