Banned deucer.
Hello everybody, and welcome to ASB's official Battle Factory Tournament! A rentals tourney has been long in anticipation, so let us all thank EspyOwner for making it happen! Let's look at the rules:
I join you here at the ASB Arena for one of the more interesting of the first round's matches, between the Electric Type gym leader Dogfish44 and the Ground Type aficionado Imanalt! Dogfish44 has been blessed by this format, as Imanalt doesn't get to abuse any type advantage; instead, both players will be battling with RENTED POKEMON!
Coming to the foreground, from across the pond, we have Dogfish44! He has a colorful without the U variety of mons, unlike his usual assortment. Will variety be enough to win him the tournament? I guarantee if it's not, you'll hear him blaming anything but himself!
Code:
Items: ON
Abilities: ONE
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
Unlimited Chills/Recoveries

Two day DQ on actions, three day DQ on ref.

And on back court we have Imanalt. It seems like, unlike Dogfish, he has decided to stick with what is familiar, bringing with him two fairly powerful ground types. Will his familiarity with his Pokemon be enough to bring him a win against an opponent that recently one-upped him in a gym match? We'll find out soon!

Interestingly, both battlers have brought two Gen I Pokemon. You know what they say about Gen I movepools! They're like orcinus's ego: massive. How will each player order against so much bide?
And now, to see who starts the tournament, the all-important Coin Flip! Heads means that dogfish will send out first, and Imanalt will order first, while tails will cause the reverse. Annnnnnnnd
ew this coin was minted in denver, denver sucks
DF will send out first! Good luck to both contestants!
