Arena
Hello guys and gals! We are here in Tualang to see one of Gregor's (aka Rediamond) demonstrations with Complications serving as our The Challenger, Complications, is a player that joined the ranks of CAP ASB not a long time ago, but already estabilished himself as a Battle Hall Ref and a lover of the dark and obscure pokemon. His signature pokemon is Optimus Prime, a quite strong Bisharp (probably the strongest around here) and one of the very few of the kind used competitively. Luckily for us, Complications brought his Bisharp to this battle, so we may see him act first-hand! The Gym Leader, Rediamond, is a veteran, being the mentor of yours truly on Ref Tutoring about 18 months ago. He is the only Gym Leader with the guts to allow and encourage RP actions on his Gym, despite that almost taking its toll on his battle against Glacier Knight. Fortunately he prevailed, so that wasn't changed (so we may see some out-of-the-box strategies that, I must add, are encouraged as I really like to mess around with RP'd actions). His entire team is composed of very strong bug types, with shoutouts to Heracross, who single-handed brought victory and the Gym (pretty much) against Deadfox, and Armaldo, a pokemon that proved to be crucial in almost every single match Rediamond played on this arena. Complications doesn't have a record on Gym Battles, so he may want to start with a bang. In the other hand, after the rough start against Leethoof (on a really nice battle), Rediamond may want to use this battle to get a streak going on, which means that both players have a lot to gain and a lot to lose! Without further ado let's see the teams! Gym Leader
Armaldo
Syclant
Scyther
Heracross
Volcarona
Scizor
Challenger
...
Frenzy (Gengar)
Lir
Order of Operations Heads: Leader sends out first Tails: Challenger sends out first ![]() (heads). Rediamond sends out pokemon with berry Complications sends out pokemon with berry and orders Rediamond gives orders I Ref

"Hello, and welcome to Tualang City Gym. My name is Gregor, and I'll be starting off today's demonstration with a Pokemon that should be familiar to most spectators. Nomen armaldo lived on the Earth in ancient times, but has recently been revived with modern technology. While it may seem oddly adapted to the modern world, it can still handle most threats comfortably." Armaldo @ Babiri (Steel Resist) Berry

Hello Rediamond, I do believe we have not met in battle before. Seeing as you have honored me with your formalities, I shall return the favor. As we all very well know, before a child an walk it must first crawl. That is my goal here. To... learn the lay of the land that is a gym match. I have seen the dastardly work of your Armaldo in previous battles, and I find it's prowess commendable. Your selection of berry was also wide, as I originally intended to send in Optimus. However, I have a new plan. Let's go Frenzy. Take this Shuca Berry, and put it to good use. I fear we may not be floating so freely by the time this round's out. Let's sart simple. Will-O-Wisp-Hex-Hex If Protective/Evasive action A1, use Lick and push actions down. If Double Team, use Clear Smog on the following action. If Armaldo is not burned on an action you were supposed to use Hex, change that action to Shadow Ball. Frenzy I feel our downfall here may be the lack of techniques I have taught you.

"Of course, one of the most threatening things about Nomen armaldo was its ability to play defensively if necessary. Even if it wasn't launching one of its formidable attacks, there was still a chance it could beat its opponents." Sandstorm~Rock Blast~Stealth Rock

![]() Hp: 90 En: 100 2/2/5/3/127 Other: Berry: Shuca Hp: 100 En: 100 5/4/2/4/45 Other: Berry: Babiri Round 1 And the battle begins! Frenzy the Gengar starts the battle for Complications and uses Will-o-Wisp to burn Diego. Diego Armaldo Maradona isn't bothered by it as it summons a mighty Sandstorm to the field that boosts his defense and gets on m---*GASP* eyes and mouths. Next, the Gengar starts the offensive with a Hex that gets fueled by Armaldo's burn. Speaking of Armaldo, our resident argentino also attacks with Rock Blast, launching 4 rocks at his opponent, even getting one critical hit that nulled the burn! Finally, Gengar continues to attack with Hex, while Diego sets up with Stealth Rocks, spreading rocks on the field. And that was turn 1! The Gym Leader seems to have a small advantage thanks to the hazards, but it is a bit too soon to draw a conclusion. Let us watch as this battle unfolds!

"But it is best to remember that Nomen armaldo could be an offensive monster in almost any situation. That is why it was a terror of the ancient world." Rock Blast~Stone Edge~Rock Blast IF Disable (Rock Blast), replace all further uses of Rock Blast with Smack Down IF Hypnosis AND Protect was not used last action AND you are not Taunted, use Protect and push actions back IF Taunt AND Protect was not used last action AND you are not Taunted, use Protect and push actions back

Sandstorm for 3r STEALTH ROCK ![]() Hp: 65 En: 77 2/2/5/3/127 Other: Berry: Shuca Hp: 69 En: 74 5/4/2/4/45 Other: burn Berry: Babiri Round 2 All right guys, here is round 2! Both players maintain their pokemon on the field, which is kinda rare in a Switch=OK, but both of them probably have their own strategies. Frenzy the Gengar, probably remembering the pain of last turn's Rock Blast, uses its mental abilities to Disable said move, making Diego forget about it alltogether. But the Armaldo was ready for such a scenario, and attacks with Smackdown, by throwing a charged stone at the Gengar, that forces it to stay on the ground. Also Sandstorm and burn. After sabotaging what needed to be sabotaged, Frenzy goes to attack mode and uses a Hex to bring the worst of Diego's burn and damage the Armaldo. Diego Armaldo Maradona was though unfazed and continued the assault using this claws to attack with Stone Edge. Finally, Frenzy continues to attack with Hex, while Diego throws another charged stone and Smackdowns the Gengar. And then the round ended. Both players are playing safe, with little to no risk involved. Singles are usually that way in the begining, so it is all good. Rediamond was the advantage thanks to Sandstorm, hazards and Armaldo's better bulk, but its too soon to jump to conclusions, as this match is still fairly close. Stay tuned!

My apologies for the lateness... I feel bad :/
"As planned, however, this web will be tricky to navigate; the source of a dilemma." Pain Split-Hex-Hex If Armaldo uses Rest and is not already taunted, use Taunt on that action. If Armaldo uses Rock Polish and is not already Taunted, use Taunt on that action. If Armaldo uses a Protective/Evasive action, Chill on that action and push down, but not consecutively.

Rock Blast is still disabled for 3A; Frosty forgot to put it in your status. I'd suggest you reorder :P

Unfortunately the hp difference is rather small for it to be really effective, but Gengar got some hp back I guess. And then lost a lot of it due to Diego's Stone Edge, coupled with Sandstorm. Sensing that doom is imminent, Frenzy tries one last attack in Hex for decent damage. But Diego is very strong and its second Stone Edge hit the spot and finishes off Frenzy, even despite the burn. Gengar Fainted!. And the first blood was drawn! The Gym Leader is securing slowly but surely an advantage in this battle. Again, it would be foolish to count Complications out this soon, but he better has a very good plan to catch up or he may be in for a rough sailing.

Oh right. Let's go Optimus! Take this Chople Berry while you're at it! (The one that cuts fighting type attacks.)

And probably best chance at removing the Gym Leader's advantage. And this round does good in that regard as Optimus uses Magnet Rise to escape from Armaldo's Ground Dasher Combo, which missed!. Now safe, Optimus sets up a 15hp substitute before finishing this match-up with Iron Head.

Ok Optimus, like our red said, you're my best, my strongest, and my most well-trained. We now fight our toughest opponent ever, and to make matters worse he's got a massive type advantage. Well have to work our smartest to best him, so let's bring it.
Psycho Cut-Aerial Ace-Psycho Cut If Heracross uses a damaging fighting move and Bisharp is no longer behind a Substitute, use Protect, but only once. If Heracross uses Protect, use Rock Polish, but only once. If Heracross uses Double Team, use Aerial Ace.

Let's see if Type Advantage is truly everything. Corpus starts the matchup by using Brick Break to Destroy Optimus's Sub, while the Bisharp counterattacks with a strong Psycho Cut. On the following turn, Heracross prepares a Counter, but Bisharp had a sub for that and erected a Protective Barrier. What an useless turn hah. Finally, Optimus attacked with Aerial Ace, weakened by Hera's Coba Berry, but strong enough to deal some damage....to both pokemon, thanks to Counter.

After swallowing another piece of his Chople Berry, Optimus counterattacks with Psycho Cut, also getting a critical hit. Optimus is guy...with a plan. If he had 11 buddies they could shoot a movie of something. but I digress. Focusing intense power on his sharp blades, Optimus prime runs towards Corpus, moving constantly so the bug ends up losing track of the Bisharp eventually. and THATs when it STRIKES! It combines Aerial Ace + Guillotine to press Corpus's neck with such force that his blood stops flowing for a moment. In a couple secs, Heracross faints! Our medical team is quick and was able to get Corpus in time, so don't worry about it. DO get worried about the Gym Leader, though, as that last move completely destroyed the advantage he slowly adquired during this match. Now the challenger has the upper hand and the Leader needs a good plan to catch up. Stay Tuned!

Huh, I'm surprised. Scyclant was one of the Pokemon I was least expecting to battle, although I now understand why. Nevertheless, I must face it.
Cooldown-Aerial Ace-Aerial Ace If damaging fighting type move and Syclant is not behind a Substitute and not Counter, use Sucker Punch. If damaging fighting type move and Syclant is behind a Substitute, use Aerial Ace. If Scyclant uses Dig, use Magnet Rise on the first instance that you can act upon, and Rock Polish on the second.
