David begins by firing a powerful Zap Cannon, only to find that F has Protected herself from the electric blast. The Kadabra follows up with a Psyshock attack while F Bites into his substitute. Then the two pokemon trade Shadow Balls, with F's one being blocked by David's substitute, which is amazingly still in one piece. It seems that Orbulon is happy with how the battle is going, but who's getting bored now?

Once again, David starts by firing a Zap Cannon, and this time he strikes true. In fact, F is so shocked by the electric blast that she finds herself unable to move! David mockingly calls for an Encore, but F misinterprets this as a request for more shadow balls, so while the Kadabra follows up with another Psyshock, F can't resist the urge to launch two Shadow Balls. The first obliterates David's substitute and the second hits the real David hard. But now F is looking heavily wounded and David is looking exhausted. It doesn't help that, partly due to David's cheering and partly due to paralysis, the Snorunt failed to please Ashley, prompting her to zap F with a bolt of magical energy from her sceptre. Let's hope whoever is giving the next challenge gives one that's a bit easier.

Son_of_Shadoo orders now.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. Of all the times to get favourable hax...

Chill >>> Confusion >>> Confusion
If Snorunt Protects itself, Chill, but not twice in a row.

[Ziposaki]

I just cracked up. I love you too, hax gods. That was worth losing a string of CC battles with KS. And who cares if I end up with less energy, I'm gonna die anyways! Let's go!

Shadow Ball + Shadow Ball > Cooldown (Shadow Ball) > Shadow Ball

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Objection?

Action 1
David chilled! (+12 EN)

RNG roll (for full para, <=15 para) 53 = no para
Shadow Ball combo -> David ((6+10)1.75) = 28 EN
RNG roll (to crit, 1/16 crit) 13 = no crit
RNG roll (to lower SpD, <=40 lower) 47 = no lower
((8x.2.25)+(2-2)1.5)(1.5) = 27 DMG

Action 2
Confusion -> F (2 EN)
RNG roll = irrelevant
(5+3+(5-1)1.5) = 14 DMG
F fainted!

As David sits there, regaining a bit of energy, F gathers up the energy to create two gigantic blobs of shadow, and flings them straight at David, knocking him off of his balance and sending him flying back!

However, as soon as David can stand up, he fires off a weak beam of psychic energy that hits F right in the face, knocking her out instantly! Looks like SoS has the lead for now, but can he hold onto it for much longer?!

Burn some kelories! Use a contact move at least once!

Ziposaki sends out D2 the Darumaka and orders

[Ziposaki]

C'mon, uhm, let's see...

Fire Punch > Fire Fang > Fire Punch
If Earthquake, Protect and push actions down, but only once.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Since when does my Kadabra know Earthquake?

Reflect >>> Zap Cannon >>> Psyshock

[Ziposaki]

Since I've been tired. Don't question it; just go with it. It could use Ground-coverage.

[waterwarrior]

Ziposaki: Able to give mons moves that they could never learn simply by being tired since 2012.

While you're at it, Flareon. Go fix. Now.

While random.org decided to not allow David to deal any damage before D2 kicked the crap out of him, at least he is able to give Mantis a bit of an advantage next round... right?


Both of you have a lot of energy... let's make a dent in that! Use a combination of some sort!

[Ziposaki]

Fire Punch > Fire Fang > Fire Punch
If Protect, use Work Up and push actions down, but only once.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Speed tie rolls. My combo was -2 priority, same as D2's Dig, so the speed tie roll is there too.

[waterwarrior]

Oops. Sorry about that...

RNG roll (for speed tie, <=50 Mantis) 86, 14, 1 = D2, Mantis, Mantis

Well, lucky you. Sorry Zipo, but the RNG goddess is a harsh mistress. I'll edit in that the combo hit shortly.

EDIT: Ok, combo hit

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Obviously.

Earthquake combo >>> Earthquake >>> Earthquake combo

GG.

And while Mantis continually shakes the ground about, battering D2 this way and that, dealing massive damage each time! However, D2 is striking hard as well, dealing quite a bit of damage of his own with every attack!

Finally, while Mantis plants his hands in the ground for a massive Earthquake certain to decimate D2, D2 jumps up and delivers a fist of flames straight into Mantis' head, sending him flying back, fainted!
