Round Zero - Battle Begin!

And so, smashlloyd20 decides to open his account with Grass Skirt the Pyroak! In response, Alchemator sends out Shakespeare the Gallade to open the battle! Now, before we start, I am going to flip this unbiased Australian $1 Coin to decide who goes first! smashlloyd20 will issue actions first if the outcome is Heads! If it is Tails, however, then Alchemator will issue actions first!



And it is Heads, which means smashlloyd20 issues first, & Alchemator issues second Round One! And with that...

SMASHLLOYD20 VS. ALCHEMATOR

Round One - Surprise!

And away we go, for the first round of this match! Shakespeare opens the round by firing a wave of darkness with horrible thoughts that ends up striking the nervous Grass Skirt, disrupting him, & shocking him into flinching! First action, & lady luck has already struck in favour of Cruel Britannia. In other news...I just searched Veekun, & it turns out Gallade cannot learn Dark Pulse! This Gallade is illegal! Unless...Nevertheless, Shakespeare then goes off to fire off another wave imbued with horrible thoughts at the Pyroak, damaging him once more, before Grass Skirt suddenly goes on the offensive, firing a ball of fire into the air, before blowing it up, sending smoke & lava all around the place, & striking the Gallade for some damage! To make things worse for Shakespeare, Grass Skirt then engulfs himself in flames, before ramming into him, knocking him over for some serious damage! Nevertheless, Shakespeare was prepared for it, & simply retaliated, walloping the Pyroak for massive damage! But what is this? Shakespeare appears to be fading, & yes he does! What is standing now is a Zoroark of all things! It is confirmed! Alchemator did not send out Shakespeare the Gallade, but he sent out Zeke the Zoroark!

With the round done, it seems like smashlloyd20 is already on the back foot after a flinch & a surprise attack! Can smashlloyd20 come back against this mischeivous fox, or will Alchemator capitalise on the advantage he gained by virtue of surprise? Either way, we will find out after this commercial break, sponsored by the ASB Battle Hall!

Round Two - Smash-back!

Zeke begins the round in an orderly manner by snickering Grass Skirt & making fun of its arm cannons. This did not bode well with the Pyroak, & he simply responded by tripping the Zoroark with his tail, making Zeke hit the floor head-first & slowing him down! This does not stop Zeke from then crushing dark matter in his hands, creating a burst of darkness that strikes Grass Skirt, as well as blinding the Pyroak a little bit! This is not what Team jassmashpwn had wanted! Nevertheless, Grass Skirt still managed to spot Zeke, & still managed to hit him with another swipe of the tail, slowing down the Zoroark further! Worse yet, the Zoroark was left powerless & nowhere to go, as Grass Skirt then enveloped himself in fire, before ramming into Zeke at full force, striking a weak spot that Zeke had! To make matters worse for Team Cruel Britannia, the attack dealt so much damage, that Zeke was rendered unable to get up! 3-2 smashlloyd20!

Round end, & what could have been so much worse, ended up being so much better for smashlloyd20 & his Pyroak, drawing the first blood, & having an inherent advantage in terms of who to send out next, for the rest of this match! Can Alchemator come back from this unlucky break, or has the lucky break proved to be the match winning play for smashlloyd20? There is a long way to go yet in this match, so stay tuned!

Round Three - Blocking the Offensive

And so, with a bit of bad luck, Alchemator & Team Cruel Britannia appear to be on the back foot against a somewhat blinded, but still healthy Pyroak, lead by smashlloyd20 of Team jassmashpwn! To compensate, Alchemator takes a roll of the dice & sends out his trusty Gallade: Shakespeare, & unlike last time, I think everyone knows that this is the real Shakespeare. Anyhow, let us bring up his stats...


Shakespeare opens his stint in the finals by instantly going on the defensive, siphoning some of his energy into a mini Rhydon doll which then takes his place! In the meantime, Grass Skirt sets off an explosion of fire to try & damage the Substitute, but Lady Luck unfortunately intervenes, & the attack goes off target. It appears that luck has caught up to the jassmashpwn camp...Nevertheless, Shakespeare then tightens his focus to ready a powerful blow, as Grass Skirt eyes the Rhydon doll once more, & recklessly charges into it with full force, breaking the doll in one hit! Maybe that miss was not so bad after all... Though the attack left the Pyroak open, as Shakespeare suddenly comes back out into the open, & wallops Grass Skirt with one powerful swing of the arm for some powerful damage! Sadly for the Pyroak, the Gallade then swiftly disappeared again, with another Rhydon doll taking his place! Grass Skirt then simply attacks it with fiery explosions. This time, the attack was on target, but the doll was sturdy enough to withstand the explosion. That miss earlier obviously counted for nothing after all! Though, to make matters worse for Shakespeare, Grass Skirt finally managed to not only get over his rage, but his vision also improved in the process, giving Grass Skirt far more strength heading into the next round!

Round end, & despite Shakespeare hanging in the safety of a Substitute, smashlloyd20's HP advantage is continuing to rise, & furthermore, it seems like the Pyroak is shaping up for one last hurrah here before passing the baton to his team mates!

Round Four - Too Fast!

Shakespeare begins by flinging a barrage of rocks at Grass Skirt, denting him for some damage, when Grass Skirt envelops himself in fire & rams Shakespeare's Rhydon doll, destroying it & making himself faster! The Pyroak then taps into the power of sunlight & undergoes photosynthesis, recovering enough health in time, as Shakespeare then makes an unspeakable insult aimed at Grass Skirt, enraging him once more! This then sees Grass Skirt go on a rampage, setting off fiery explosions to hurt Shakespeare, the Gallade simply firing off another barrage of rocks at the Pyroak in response, striking & leaving him in a critical condition.

Round end, & it appears that the Pyroak, while wounded, is still getting ready for one final attack at the Gallade! How much damage will Grass Skirt do before falling? Is this advantage going to be good enough for smashlloyd20 to get to winning the match? What will happen? Find out after these commercials.

Round Five - Brake Stupid Oak

...And Grass Skirt makes one last hurrah for smashlloyd20, making one final fiery ram at the Gallade, before succumbing to one energy-draining punch from Shakespeare, before one final rush of speed to put Grass Skirt out of his misery at last! 2-2 Draw!

While Team Cruel Britannia celebrates at Grass Skirt finally falling, it seems like the damage may have been done already. A 72 HP Gap to make, a tiring Gallade, as smashlloyd20 gets ready to send out his next Pokémon! What will it be? Find out when we return from this ad-break.

Round Six - Haxfest!

With Pyroak down, it is time for smashlloyd20 to send in his next Pokémon, & he decides to send in Brave Bird the Aerodactyl to take on Alchemator's Gallade!


Brave Bird begins the round by moving swiftly enough to spawn four copies of itself, making Shakespeare see quintuple! This does not stop Shakespeare from attacking though, & he whacks one of the Brave Birds with a fist of electricity. Too bad it was just a clone. Then all the Brave Birds started glowing, forcing Shakespeare to react with a cold fist, striking another Brave Bird with it. Sadly, like the first attack, the fist strikes a copy, as the real Brave Bird suddenly charges at Shakespeare, swooping & striking him for massive damage! Unluckily for Brave Bird, as he started to glow again, Shakespeare managed to catch what he believed to be the real Brave Bird, & smacked him with a fist of electricity...And would you believe it? He smacks the real Brave Bird! Not only do all the clones dissipate, but it appears that some of the electrical energy has shocked the Aerodactyl, rendering him paralysed! This does not, however, stop Brave Bird from swooping down again, & ramming into Shakespeare again with one powerful blow! This time, Shakespeare was unable to recover from the attack, & faints! 2-1 smashlloyd20!

Round end, & for Alchemator, it is all up to Stevenson the Starmie to ward off a paralysed Aerodactyl, & a fresh Excadrill! Can Alchemator make a comeback with the type advantage over the last two adversaries? Or is the 103 HP gap between the two too big to the point where smashlloyd20 can cruise to victory?

Round Seven - Damage Warfare

And so, with Alchemator on his last legs, he valiantly sends out Stevenson the Starmie to take on Brave Bird the Aerodactyl! With a type advantage over smashlloyd20's remaining Pokémon, can Alchemator make a comeback from such a massive HP gap? Time to find out!


Stevenson begins by conjuring up some hot water, & firing it Brave Bird's way in the from of a jet, scalding the Aerodactyl for some damage, but Brave Bird responds by pummelling the Starmie with a sharp jab from one of his rocky wings! Worse yet, Brave Bird then starts to glow harshly again! Stevenson is then forced to attack the Aerodactyl, conjuring up a tidal wave which drenches Brave Bird & deals some intense damage! Brave Bird does not stop glowing though, as he suddenly swoops down & hammers the Starmie for some intense damage! Brave Bird thought this was not enough though, as he starts to glow once more! Stevenson then takes advantage again by firing another jet of hot water, striking & leaving Brave Bird with a nasty scald which cripples it! Making matters worse for smashlloyd20, the Aerodactyl then swoops down again, only for Stevenson to dodge the attack with its swift speed!

Round end, & it was a tough break for smashlloyd20 with all the hax against him now! Can he hold on for the win, or will Alchemator continue to charge home at a lightning pace? Find out next round, as Brave Bird is nearly certain to meet his demise!
