Fresh off giving up his first badge and forever tweeking the arena he holds these battles in, our resident Poison Typer Engineer Pikachu stares down another tough challenge. Yet another Gym Leader with a super effective STAB speciality and Gerard had brought this probably advantage to full effect. All thats left now is for me to shut up and let them get to it. The coins in the air with heads meaning Engi sends out first and tails gives Gerard the honour.
![]() and Tails it is! Turn Order Gerard sends out first Pokemon, selecting abilities and item. Leader Engineer Pikachu sends out first Pokemon, selecting abilities, item and issuing actions. Gerard issues actions. deadfox081 referees.

![]() Oh darn, Singles is not my forte, but Lamarche is looking like the best choice I have to start this, at least it's not gonna be as battered as any of my other members would, this looks like it would be a fun match, so Mollux take this brand new Black Sludge and Illuminate our victorious road, let's see how much fun is Dry Skin when you're not using it yourself.

![]() Let us begin! We won't hold back; I trust you to do the same. We've agreed to maintain Levitate as a Trait for this match. Youma (M) ABIL: Levitate Skill Swap (Nothing / Dry Skin, Illuminate) — Hidden Power — Hidden Power [ONCE] IF (Protective / Evasive Action) THEN (Use Double Team [2] and push actions back) [ONCE] IF (Thunder Wave is used) AND (You are faster) THEN (Use Taunt and push actions back) |

![]() Alright Lamarche, this might be the only time Illuminate sucking so much is an adventage to our cause as we won't be losing anything really, Dry Skin on the other might be even better to lose it early, as the sun is ooking particulary delicious in this place, no reason to avoid it in such a beautiful day, particulary when you might as well roast our foes with it. ![]() Lamarche: Sunny Day ~ Fire Blast ~ Fire Blast

Leader Engineer Pikachu
A--- 390/390: 100% Youma (M) @ HP: 90 EN: 100 Spe: 127 [+19] 3 / 1 / 5 / 3 SC 3 / WC 3 Levitate VS. Gerard A--- 410/410: 100% ![]() Lamarche (M) @ HP: 100 EN: 100 Spe: 76 1 / 4 / 5 / 4 SC 3 / WC 3 Dry Skin, Illuminate Clearly the leader is still smarting from his first loss here in the Poison Gym and he minces no words in sending out the ever worrying Youma the Gengar to lead off this fight. Gerard initially shies away from his psychics and leads off with a mon hoping to take advantage of the arena with a Poison typing of his own. Lamarche is a member of the strange and newly discovered species called Mollux and looks especially suited to this task. Unfortunately for Lamarche the tricksy Gengar looks to immediately take away one of its biggest weapons by Swapping Skills and stealing both of the slug's abilities! However such traits do not come without cost and Lamarche shows this by bringing Sun to shine through the mist and Youma's newly acquired Dry Skin hurts him already. Not to be put out by his plan somewhat backfiring the ghostly one fires off some Hidden Power to take advantage of Lamarche's somewhat glaring weakness. However he is soon shown up by the brute force that is an Illuminate aided, Dry Skin targetting, sunlight assisted STAB Fire Blast that quite frankly does huge damage for a neutral attack. To further rub it in the damage from Dry Skin is totally cancelling out Gengar's Black Sludge and making the held item useless for him while Lamarche on the other hand is able to use his to fully boosted effect. The final actions of the round are a direct carbon copy of the second and Engineer finds himself a little on the back foot right from the get go. Of course any ASB pundit knows to never count a Gengar out. He's not one of the formerly most complained about Pokemon in the game for nothing. Especially when piloted by a cunning battler such as mister Pikachu. Leader Engineer Pikachu A--- 347/390: 89% Youma (M) @ HP: 47 EN: 73 Spe: 127 [+19] 3 / 1 / 5 / 3 SC 3 / WC 3 Levitate, Dry Skin, Illuminate VS. Gerard A--- 376/410: 92% ![]() Lamarche (M) @ HP: 66 EN: 73 Spe: 76 1 / 4 / 5 / 4 SC 3 / WC 3 SUN (2 Rounds)

![]() This doesn't look good. We're better off staying in, though; ordering first against Gallade is less than desirable. |

![]() Wilde is pretty good at what it does, for what slaying ghosts is only one of shuch things, while Youma's tricks are powerful tools, they pale against the sheer power of Wilde's steel, his mind can't not be tamed and his power can't be stop. Wilde: Psychic ~ Rock Slide ~ Psychic |

A--- 347/390: 89% Youma (M) @ HP: 47 EN: 73 Spe: 127 [+19] 3 / 1 / 5 / 3 SC 3 / WC 3 Levitate, Dry Skin, Illuminate VS. Gerard OA-- 376/410: 92%
Bench
Wilde (M) @ HP: 100 EN: 100 Spe: 69 [-10] 5 / 3 / 4 / 4 SC 3 / WC 4 Steadfast, Justified SUN (2 Rounds) Knowing that Mollux cannot answer to all the tricks Youma possesses Gerard switches out to a mon more capable of dealing with it in Wilde the Gallade. Of course then both trainers just go ahead and throw the tricks out the window in favour of a totally offensive approach. Youma uses the mist to channel a powerful Hex at Wilde, twice in fact. While the Gallade just throws the ghost around with his Psychic powers before burrying him in a Rock Slide. Of course never to disappoint Youma has one last trick to play before going down as he links his Destiny to the oppoent and ensures that while a second Psychic attack does bring him down that Wilde isn't far away! Leader Engineer Pikachu X--- 300/390: 77% Youma (M) @ HP: -8 EN: 41 Spe: 127 [+19] 3 / 1 / 5 / 3 SC 3 / WC 3 Levitate, Dry Skin, Illuminate VS. Gerard OA-- 301/410: 73%

![]() I suppose you're feeling quite confident? Tell me more. Kozu (M) ABIL: Infiltrator, Inner Focus Brave Bird — Brave Bird — Brave Bird [ONCE] IF (Protective / Evasive Action is used) THEN (Use Double Team [2] instead) IF (A combination involving a Damaging Priority Attack is used) THEN (Use Wing Attack - Air Cutter from that action)

Okay we're back on track now. The combo is in no way viable but still activates Engi's sub.
Leader Engineer Pikachu XA-- 300/390: 77% Kozu (M) @ HP: 100 EN: 100 Spe: 150 [+26] 3 / 3 / 3 / 2 SC 4 / WC 4 Inner Focus, Infiltrator VS. Gerard OA-- 301/410: 73%
Bench
Wilde (M) @ HP: 25 EN: 82 Spe: 69 [-10] 5 / 3 / 4 / 4 SC 3 / WC 4 Steadfast, Justified SUN (1 Round) As the leader is forced to recall one speedy trickster he swiftly replaces him with another like mon in Kozu the Crobat. Sensing time in this match is nigh its end Wilde attempts a priority infused reconstruction of Youma's dying move, but its a little too complex and infeasible to pull off and instead all he's able to manage is a strike from the Shadows. Meanwhile Kozu is able to conserve energy in utilising some of his weaker Flying attacks and ends the round with a KO for a net loss of barely any HP or EN. Leader Engineer Pikachu XA-- 298/390: 76% Kozu (M) @ HP: 98 EN: 94 Spe: 150 [+26] 3 / 3 / 3 / 2 SC 4 / WC 4 Inner Focus, Infiltrator VS. Gerard OX-- 276/410: 67%
Bench
Wilde (M) @ HP: 0 EN: 78 Spe: 69 [-10] 5 / 3 / 4 / 4 SC 3 / WC 4 Steadfast, Justified

![]() So it doesn't work but it still activates the sub? this is why I hate comboes, anyway, amarche can deal with anything our bat-friend can throw so let's see what you can do. ![]() Lamarche: Lava Plume ~ Thunderbolt ~ Lava Plume
* If Kozu uses (succesfully) a Protective or Evasive Move then use Chill and push actions * If Kozu uses an Evasive Damaging Move & you're Not Taunted then use Recover and Chill alternanring if necesary and push actions |

Leader Engineer Pikachu
XA-- 298/390: 76% Kozu (M) @ HP: 98 EN: 94 Spe: 150 [+26] 3 / 3 / 3 / 2 SC 4 / WC 4 Inner Focus, Infiltrator VS. Gerard AX-- 276/410: 67% ![]() Lamarche (M) @ HP: 66 EN: 73 Spe: 76 1 / 4 / 5 / 4 SC 3 / WC 3 Dry Skin, Illuminate Still in recovery mode from the KO and clearly trying to hold off on letting too many surprises out of the bag while having to order first, Gerard just recalls Lamarche to the fray. Of course with his abilities back he looks a little more suited to this environment. Wary of the tricks the Crobat could play Lamarche opts for some weaker spread damage in the way of a Lava Plume. This might have been a good choice as before he can act Kozu cloaks himself in a blue light and begins to absorb anything and everything coming his way. This of course makes the Mollux's choice of a Thunderbolt a little less than ideal as it gives Kozu plenty to throw back when he released all his Bided energy! Unfortunately thanks to the bulk of recovery Lamarche is getting each turn it isn't quite enough to KO the snail and he's able to hit back with a critical Lava Plume to end the round. Thankfully for the leader no status reared its ugly head and the Crobat finds himself with both a HP and speed advantage that should be enough to secure Lamarche's exit next round. Leader Engineer Pikachu XA-- 251/390: 64% Kozu (M) @ HP: 51 EN: 57 Spe: 150 [+26] 3 / 3 / 3 / 2 SC 4 / WC 4 Inner Focus, Infiltrator VS. Gerard AX-- 226/410: 55% ![]() Lamarche (M) @ HP: 16 EN: 56 Spe: 76 1 / 4 / 5 / 4 SC 3 / WC 3 Dry Skin, Illuminate

The recoil is additionally negated somewhat by his Black Sludge and the Crobat is still looking pretty healthy right about now.

Not liking this but it's not worse that what we've been through
Mirage (Rare Candy): Gyro Ball - Rock Slide - Gyro Ball *If Kozu uses Bide (Hold) then use Stealth Rock - Trick Room according to action and push actions *If Kozu uses an Evasive Damaging move then use Trick Room and push actions |

Gerard, this is a two ability match and your Heavy Metal had its Trait status revoked long before this battle began. Please select your two abilities so we can finally get this kicking along.

Leader Engineer Pikachu
XA-- 248/390: 64% Kozu (M) @ HP: 48 EN: 49 Spe: 150 [+26] 3 / 3 / 3 / 2 SC 4 / WC 4 Inner Focus, Infiltrator VS. Gerard XXA- 210/410: 51% Mirage (-) @ HP: 100 EN: 100 Spe: 28 [-10] 4 / SC 3 / WC Levitate, Heatproof, Heavy Metal Sensing that Mirage the Bronzong might prove a little too difficult for Kozu to handle in a straight out fight Engineer instead opts to dip once again into the Crobat's deep bag of tricks. What comes out is some almost perfectly accurate Hypnosis from the bat that sends Mirage right into a deep sleep that has it doing nothing at all for most of this round! Kozu is free to U-Turn right into the Steel type and allow a more fitting counter to come in for next round. It even hit critically so as to do more than laughable damage. Kozu attempts one more little trick to set up for next round but of course his Gastro Acid as yet has no effect what so ever on what I just mentioned to be a Steel typed Bronzong. Mirage then wakes up just in time to whack Kozu with one good Gyro Ball and with the damage done by just this single hit it's rather obvious why Engineer wanted to avoid it. Well Kozu played some stall and is on the way out, oh and Mirage's Poison immunity is now corroded away just a second too late for the leader to have made use of it this round. Those are the breaks. Leader Engineer Pikachu XA-- 233/390: 60% Kozu (M) @ HP: 33 EN: 32 Spe: 150 [+26] 3 / 3 / 3 / 2 SC 4 / WC 4 Inner Focus, Infiltrator U-Turning VS. Gerard XXA- 203/410: 50% Mirage (-) @ HP: 93 EN: 94 Spe: 28 [-10] 4 / SC 3 / WC Levitate, Heatproof, Heavy Metal Corroded
