(Gym) Roaming into a charged fence: Leader Dogfish44 vs. Challenger The Wanderer

C$FP · Sep 2nd, 2012, 9:23:31 PM

Hmmmm, I haven't reffed a Singles gym match yet; I wonder how different the dynamics will be. Also, it will be interesting to see how yet another leader battles in his own territory. Dogfish44, upon sight of the challenger, smirks, obviously feeling very cocky. The Wanderer, ready to go with his best, looks quite eager to do his best, not having any worries of consequences for losing. Now, let's take a look at the rules and arena:

This is all quite beautiful, especially considering it's so artificial and electrified. It truly is a place for Electric Pokemon to thrive; how will the challenger fare in such a situation? Anyway, these are the teams.

First, Dogfish44's team:

Is this the first gym battle with a leader's bench of 6? I think it is. Anyway, this is quite a built team; everything seems to be at or near completion. Here is The Wanderer's team:

These are certainly no weak Pokemon, but the leader doesn't seem the least bit afraid. After all, a win will not be easy in a place designed for Electric Pokemon when The Wanderer has brought no Ground Pokemon.

And here we are, at the coin flip. As always, I have a quarter ready just for this. Heads, Dogfish44 sends out first, tails, The Wanderer.

The two dragons are out on the field, and Dogfish44 seems incredibly cocky. Will he stay this way? Who knows... Lucius starts the match off by flying around Nimbus and shouting profanities in Pokemon speech at Nimbus (I think there was something about Nimbus' mother in there; that ain't cool). Nimbus is thus so infuriated that he finds himself unable to do anything other than attack The Wanderer's team. He replies by firing off a wave of dragony energy at Lucius. Lucius also decides to take the offensive route now, roaring aggressively and causing the sand underneath Nimbus' feet to spread apart, and a powerful light shines up from the crack, injuring Nimbus a bit. Nimbus hardly seems bothered, repeating the same move he just used, shooting a big blast of energy from his mouths. At this point, Lucius appears a tad defeated, but of course not giving up yet, as the battle has just begun. However, he does dash towards Nimbus, slam into him, and fly back as fast as he can back towards The Wanderer. This is sort of an odd choice in strategy, since as the official rule-book states, he must order his Pokemon first next round as well. Before Lucius can reach his master and his the safety of his Pokeball, Nimbus expends great effort into roaring into the sky, causing some meteors to come crashing down in Lucius' path, ultimately making Lucius suffer quite a bit before The Wanderer can help him. Nimbus will not be able to attack with full force next round, but will Dogfish44 compensate by taking advantage of ordering second once again? Probably... but we will have to wait and see what happens.

Quass has been dragged out now, with long, thin claws, which will hopefully interfere with some of the pesky speed-ties. Quass starts summoning a transparent, pink wall of energy in front of The Wanderer's side of the field. At the exact same time, Nimbus roars at the sky again, this time bringing a large bolt of lightning towards Quass. The pink shield is finished just moments before the lightning strikes Quass; the shield significantly weakens the attack, causing it to do very little damage. Quass runs up to Nimbus, slashing and clawing with his arms and fancy claws. However, as Quass hits Nimbus with a final cut, Quass seems to be electrified, and is now mildly paralyzed. Nimbus, not bothered at all, makes an even louder and mightier battle cry than before. Suddenly, a tremendous hurricane comes from above the dark water, flying at Quass. The mass of wind, water and electricity is hardly slowed down by the protecting wall of energy, smacking Quass with great force. Nimbus has to sit still for a minute to recover from exerting himself so much. Nimbus' idleness costs him nothing, however, because Quass also cannot move, but due to the electric shock pulsing through his body. Dogfish44's lead is increasing; will it slow down? Will he switch out so that Nimbus can have a break?

Quass, despite being paralyzed, uses his long claws to fling himself towards Short Fuse very fast. Quass follows up by doing a slow, mesmerizing dance, while telepathically communicating in some way with Short Fuse, who just ignores the whole scene. Short Fuse simply dashes at Quass, tackling him with full force, hurting both Pokemon in the process. Short Fuse takes it down a little notch by charging up his hand with extra electricity, then punching Quass as hard as he can. Quass tries to reply with a blue, ghostly flame headed towards Short Fuse, who ultimately dodges the hindering fire. Short Fuse once again throws himself at Quass in an all-out tackle, even damaging himself. Quass and The Wanderer are so far very unhappy with this round, for they have not done anything at all but take damage, due to mis-orders and just getting unlucky. Quass tries to compensate as much as he can by punching Short Fuse in the gut, draining him of vitality, channeling it up into Quass. Dogfish44 has done a good job of maintaining his advantage so far, let's see if it continues.

Dogfish44, being very calculating, commands Short Fuse to shoot a ball of electrical energy at Quass. It hits a weak spot, and hits Quass to the ground, leaving him unconscious.

Rico is now out on the field, and he seems like a Pokemon that can really pack a punch. Rico makes his first move by stomping on the ground repeatedly with powerful legs, shaking the whole arena, but the sand absorbed some of the shock before it hit Short Fuse. Short Fuse absorbs the energy used to attack him, and then transfers it all into his hands, leaping at Rico and hitting him with the force of the seismic attack and more. Short Fuse follows up by using his two tails to charge up a bolt of electric energy and launches it at Rico. Undaunted, Rico punches him, and uses the finesse of his aura to absorb some of Short Fuse's energy. Rico sees that this is his opportunity to do something big, so he lets out a mighty roar and stomps on the ground with far greater power than before. The ground shakes so much that despite the sand softening the attack, Short Fuse is entirely knocked unconscious. Dogfish44 does not look happy that the KO count is now even, although he knows he still has the upper-hand.

Oh no, Boltair is on the field, and I can already feel the lack of offense coming... Boltair starts off immediately by applauding Rico, encouraging him to repeat what he just did. However, Rico is currently far too exhausted, so he just rests for a moment. Boltair takes some of his health and vitality to create a tiny replica of himself, to take attacks for him. Rico once again, as Boltair requested, stomps very powerfully on the ground, causing the whole arena to shake a ton. Unfortunately for The Wanderer, Boltair was unaffected, simply flying above the ground the whole time. Boltair now makes fun of Rico for being so foolish as to listen to her. Rico is so enraged that he can do nothing but attack Boltair; however, he is too tired for now, and so he must rest. Dogfish44's advantageous position has been steadily increasing, and it's really looking quite impossible for The Wanderer to win at this point.

Quass follows up by doing a slow, mesmerizing dance, while telepathically communicating in some way with Short Fuse, who just ignores the whole scene. Short Fuse simply dashes at Quass, tackling him with full force, hurting both Pokemon in the process. Short Fuse takes it down a little notch by charging up his hand with extra electricity, then punching Quass as hard as he can. Quass tries to reply with a blue, ghostly flame headed towards Short Fuse, who ultimately dodges the hindering fire. Short Fuse once again throws himself at Quass in an all-out tackle, even damaging himself. Quass and The Wanderer are so far very unhappy with this round, for they have not done anything at all but take damage, due to mis-orders and just getting unlucky. Quass tries to compensate as much as he can by punching Short Fuse in the gut, draining him of vitality, channeling it up into Quass. Dogfish44 has done a good job of maintaining his advantage so far, let's see if it continues.

Rico makes his first move by stomping on the ground repeatedly with powerful legs, shaking the whole arena, but the sand absorbed some of the shock before it hit Short Fuse. Short Fuse absorbs the energy used to attack him, and then transfers it all into his hands, leaping at Rico and hitting him with the force of the seismic attack and more. Short Fuse follows up by using his two tails to charge up a bolt of electric energy and launches it at Rico. Undaunted, Rico punches him, and uses the finesse of his aura to absorb some of Short Fuse's energy. Rico sees that this is his opportunity to do something big, so he lets out a mighty roar and stomps on the ground with far greater power than before. The ground shakes so much that despite the sand softening the attack, Short Fuse is entirely knocked unconscious. Dogfish44 does not look happy that the KO count is now even, although he knows he still has the upper-hand.

Boltair takes some of his health and vitality to create a tiny replica of himself, to take attacks for him. Rico once again, as Boltair requested, stomps very powerfully on the ground, causing the whole arena to shake a ton. Unfortunately for The Wanderer, Boltair was unaffected, simply flying above the ground the whole time. Boltair now makes fun of Rico for being so foolish as to listen to her. Rico is so enraged that he can do nothing but attack Boltair; however, he is too tired for now, and so he must rest.
