Default Team Tournament Round 2 - Athenodoros v EndQuote!

Rules

3v3 Singles
DQ: 48 Hours
Abilities: All
Items: Off
5 Recovers / 5 chills
Substitutions: Two
Switch: KO
Arena: ASB Arena

We had... one vote for Switch KO, and one abstention, so this match will be Switch KO!

Now, let's take a look at the teams... both players have gone through one match already; they won't be wanting to lose.

Athenodoros
Nidhogg the Dragonite
Nestor the Slowking
Poseidon the Swampert

EndQuote
Fang the Feraligatr
Watt the Galvantula
Odin the Nidoking

It seems clear that Athenodoros has the more invested team, but could EndQuote pull out a win...?

TURN ORDER
Send me your lead.

Alright, both players have decided their lead after much deliberation; let's get the scoreboard set up...

Athenodoros: OOA
Net HP: 310 / 310 (100.00%)


Poseidon (M)
HP: 110 | EN: 100
5 / 3 / 3 / 3 | 4 / 4
Speed: 52 (-10)
Torrent, Damp
Bench (Athenodoros)

EndQuote: AOO
Net HP: 300 / 300 (100.00%)

Fang (M)

HP: 100 | EN: 100
5 / 4 / 2 / 3 | 4 / 4
Speed: 78 (—)
Torrent, Sheer Force
Bench (EndQuote)

So our first matchup will feature Poseidon the Swampert versus Fang the Feraligatr!

COIN FLIP [Heads: Athenodoros | Tails: EndQuote]

This means that EndQuote will be ordering first!

lol. Although that fact that neither of us really has a decent move to use puts something of a damper on everything, even those moments. Just wishing now that I even had something as bad as Thunderpunch.

BEGIN ROUND ONE

...and the start to the very exciting battle is a very boring round.

Fang throws away some of his own vitality into a small stuffed doll, which promptly takes a beating from Poseidon's seismic attacks. As Fang dives underwater, Poseidon digs as well, avoiding the Feraligatr's attack while striking back hard. It seems as if Athenodoros has taken the early lead; is it already too late for EndQuote to catch up again?

BEGIN ROUND TWO

Fang begins with an outstanding show of swag, somehow managing to confuse Poseidon in the process of doing so while provoking him as well! Unfortunately, Poseidon doesn't seem to be confused enough, causing an earth-shattering split to appear in the arena, hitting Fang quite hard. Shaking the attack off, Fang continues the secondary, secreting toxins onto the Swampert and badly poisoning it; things don't go too well for Poseidon this time, as he hits himself in confusion! Ouch! Seeing an opportunity, Fang wreathes himself in a torrent of water before dashing forward and tackling into Poseidon; however, Poseidon quickly snaps out of confusion and summons another earthquake to the battlefield, hitting the Feraligatr for critical damage!

Despite ordering second, EndQuote seems to have lost ground this round! We're going to have to start seeing some brilliant plays, or this might just be over already!

Hopefully this can finish it.

IF Bulldoze hits, use Earthquake from then on.

Fang shows off his swag to Poseidon again, but the Swampert isn't quite impressed and shakes the ground powerfully, managing to lower Fang's Speed in the process as well! Then, just like last round, Poseidon hits himself in confusion and takes a boosted Waterfall to the face as well. He's merely shaken (not stirred), however, and summons another earthquake, knocking Fang out of the match!

Alright, time for some lovely all-out offense.

Earthquake ~ Rock Slide ~ Earthquake
IF Energy Ball, use Mirror Coat
IF Disable (Mirror Coat), use Protect, unless you used it last action

BEGIN ROUND FOUR

Grimacing a bit, EndQuote opts to send out Watt the Galvantula to replace the fallen Fang! Taking advantage of a perhaps haphazard substitution, Watt charges up a massive orb of green energy and hurls it at Poseidon, who attempts to counter the blow; unfortunately for him, the attack is just too much for him to handle, and he gets blasted across the arena and into the moat on the other side. It appears that Poseidon has fainted!

With that huge attack, EndQuote seems to have shifted himself into a position of advantage; he'll have to handle ordering first with a mandatory cooldown, though!

Wow. We are screwed. (WOLFE I TOLD YOU THUNDER WAVE WAS A GOOD IDEA...)
In my defense, your Dragonite's movepool is as long as most dictionaries. Subbing for everything would take years.

So this is what Red meant by humiliation...

While Watt cools down from her combination attack from last round, Nidhogg is sent out and immediately releases a gust of freezing air, slowing down everyone who is hit by it. Then, taking advantage of the new Speed difference, Nidhogg dives into the nearby moat, as Watt's giant thunderbolt slams into the ground not even a second later, singing the sparse weeds growing out. Nidhogg jumps out of the water and tackles into Watt, immediately, flying back and disappearing beneath the water again. Watt manages to miss with her second thunderbolt as well, and takes even more damage as Nidhogg surfaces and slams into her.

Shitsticks, I completely forgot. I guess I'll have to use Dive both times because thankfully you can't use a move you don't have :)
