(Completed) Doubles in Reverse - Flamestrike vs. Glacier Knight

[Ziposaki]

Welcome welcome welcome, folks! We're here back in the STUPID ASB ARENA. SHUT UP PEOPLE. My goodness, I hate fans. I used to love cheering on people in the stands, but now that I know how annoying they are I've stopped. Give the ref at least a little grace. Anyways, I can tell its the ASB arena, but something feels off... Oh well. We'll probably figure it out in the match. Let's see the rules and make sure the challengers can't brutally murder each other.

2v2 Doubles
Switch=KO
All abilities
Items=On
2 Recovers/5 chills
1 Day DQ/2 days for ref
2 subs
Arena:

Type Advantage Reversal Arena (idea shamelessly stolen from someone but I'm typing this one up myself!)

---

You've been warped to the ASB Arena in an alternate dimension where everything looks the same, yet isn't! All moves work as normal, but Pokemon's weaknesses and resistances are reversed! That is, if they would normally resist a move they are instead weak to it and vice-versa, and if they would normally x4 resist a move they are instead x4 weak to it and vice-versa. Immunities still work as normal though!

Huh, Type Advantage Reversal Arena, sounds interesting. And geez, no rules against slaughtering each other. Well, I guess its okay then. Just you have to clean up yourself; blood stains are hard to get out. Let's see the challengers and their teams!

Mold Breaker (DW): (Innate) Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)
Unnerve (DW): (Innate) The Pokemon's presense causes immense tension in the opponent, preventing them from eating a held Berry. Natural Gift may still be used.

Xatu(*) [Twila] (Female)




Nature: Quiet (+1 SpA, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)

Info on Twila: A somber period of being unused turned Twila cold, and she vowed to become stronger and more of an asset. Training solo she now has returned, and is proving to be quite a force to be reckoned with. Her hidden Abilities shine bright, and her Support is bare none the best on the team. And she still yearns for more power......
Type:
Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic attacks regardless of weight difference.

Flying: Flying STAB; immunity to Ground attacks outside extremely odd circumstances even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Enhanced aerial mobility. Superior senses in open air arenas.

Abilities:
Synchronize: (Innate) Pokemon with this ability mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokemon and pass on any status inflicted on them to their foe. Due to their body structure, Poison types cannot be poisoned and Fire types cannot be burned in this manner.
Early Bird: (Innate) This Pokemon is used to waking up at early hours or operating in low-light conditions and subsequently suffers from sleep status for only half as much time as other Pokemon.
Magic Bounce (DW Unlocked): (Innate) This Pokemon has a Psychic sense that allows it to ward off non-damaging attacks as soon as they are launched, directing them back at the opponent.

Awesome, now we're ready to go. Let the action begin, and pleasepleaseplease let a stray attack hit some of those bloody audience members!

[Flamestrike]

"Aquastrike, Axestrike, take these Exp. Shares and let's see if we can take advantage of this strange place."

[Glacier Knight]

posting actions in a second. first though, i'll post what types hurt all of our mons SE.

That way we won't have to constantly check or figure it out

Haxorus: Electric, Grass, Fire, Water
Samurott: Fire, Ice, Steel, Water

Xatu: Grass, Psychic, Fight
Magcargo: Bug, Flying, Ice, Normal, Poison, Fire

you guys are welcome ^_^

Now, without further ado, let's give Twila the only Exp Share i own and duke it out!

Twila-Thunder Wave Haxorus~Heat Wave~Heat Wave
If Haxorus protects/evasive moves a1, then Reflect and Push Actions down

Purple Fizz-Shell Smash~Flame Burst Haxorus~Heat Wave
If Samurott targets you with Taunt a1, then Heat Wave that action and push actions down

Going to formal dance soon, cbb to double and triple check my commands for full-proofness. Oh well.

[Flamestrike]

"Alright, fine by me! Axestrike, set up a 15 HP Substitute to block that Thunder Wave, then nail Xatu with a Dual Chop! Finish off by hitting her with a Reversal! Aquastrike, slam Xatu with a Revenge, then Encore Macargo! Finish off with another Revenge on Xatu!"

Summary:
Axestrike: Substitute (15 HP) -> Dual Chop (Xatu) -> Reversal (Xatu)
Aquastrike: Revenge (Xatu) -> Encore (Macargo) -> Revenge (Xatu)

Round 1 - Let's go!

Well, jumping into the action, Haxorus puts up a funky-looking doll to act as its Substitute. This is a good move, as the doll blocks the Wave of Thunder Xatu sends flying at it. Magcargo stays out of the affair, instead Smashing its Shell, giving it power but making it weak. Samurott instead stands up for its partner, getting its Revenge on Xatu.

Haxorus rushes forward, Dual Chopping Xatu, who seems to take a huge hit from the attack. Magcargo, much faster without its shell holding it back, easily shoots Bursts of Fire from its mouth that doesn't hit Haxorus itself, but does disintegrate its weird doll into a pile of green-gray ashes. Some of the flames seem to hit Samurott, as well. Xatu follows up with a Heat Wave that strikes both of its opponents for a good amount of damage. Samurott was apparently more interested in Magcargo's move, though, giving it an enthusiastic Encore. Then again, I don't think that was what Flamestrike intended to happen...

Haxorus starts off by Reversing all the damage it had taken towards Xatu. Xatu's taking quite a beating, I wonder when it'll go down. Meanwhile, Macargo, encouraged by Samurott's applause, shoots another Flame Burst towards Haxorus, but this time it hits its intended target, along with a little at Samurott. Xatu, trying to leave its mark before it inevitably goes down, shoots another Wave of Heat. Samurott doesn't like this and gets its Revenge on Xatu, which knocks the poor bird out.

Let's play spot the error(s)! Flamestrike's turn.

[Flamestrike]

Brandon kicked himself for forgetting the Speed Boost that came with Shell Smash, but it couldn't be helped now. "Alright, Axestrike, start with a Slash on Magcargo, then slam it with an Endeavor! If you're still around action 3 then go for another Slash! If he uses Double Team or Yawn, then Taunt him! Aquastrike, this is going to come down to you! Unfortunately your Water attacks won't work very well, but we can manage! Use the last free action from Encore to set up a Water Sport and weaken his main offense, then slam him with an Ice Beam! Finish off with a Megahorn! If he uses Pain Split, then Encore it, and if he uses Yawn on you then Protect to block it!"

Summary:
Axestrike: Slash -> Endeavor -> Slash
If he uses Double Team or Yawn use Taunt and push actions down
Aquastrike: Water Sport -> Ice Beam -> Megahorn
If he uses Pain Split and is not Taunted use Encore and push actions down
If he uses Yawn on you and is not Taunted use Protect and push actions down, but not twice in a row

[Glacier Knight]

I do not like this. bleah. Oh well, i'm still getting a KOC. (hopefully)

Round 2 - C'mon, C'mon, Let's End This...

This round starts with Haxorus Slashing at Magcargo, which does a good chunk of damage. Magcargo retaliates with a Burst of Flame that leaves Haxorus barely hanging on. Samurott finishes up and comes to his partner's aid by shooting a Water Sport that weakens Magcargo's main attacks.

Haxorus rushes up and Endeavors to make Magcargo pay, which does almost a third of Magcargo's health. Magcargo gets its revenge by making a Heat Wave that knocks Haxorus out and hits Samurott too. Samurott doesn't like that, shooting an Ice Beam.

Magcargo shoots another Heat Wave, but it is futile. Samurott Megahorns Magcargo and knocks it out. That's it, folks! I can go take a nap and plan the mass murder of not-so-innocent fans! SHUT UP, PEOPLE, TAKE A STINKING HINT! Have fun, guys!
