Battle In Progress

A battle between Dark Slay and Ice-Eyes begins!

Rules

Standard Battle (3v3)
Singles
DQ: 3 Days
2 Recovery/Rest moves and 5 chills
Arena:

Desert Oasis (Day)

This oasis is used as a refuge for thirsty, weary travelers traversing the hot desert. This arena features a small pool of water in the center surrounded by a handful of tropical trees and a small grass patch surrounding the body of water. The oasis is surrounded by a vast sandy desert with no obstacles in sight. The sun is quite bright, but the oasis makes the surrounding area fairly comfortable for all Pokemon. However, it's nearly impossible to set up a Rain or Hail storm in this hot desert during the day.The ground is made up of a pliable sand material, meaning that Pokemon can Dig here.

Summary of Restrictions: No Rain Dance/Drizzle, no Hail/Snow Warning.

So on and so forth. Good luck to both.

*Takes a deep breath* Whew. First match of my Pokemon career. Let's hope that watching Pokemon matches on the television is enough practice for now.

I choose you, Salmon! (Salmon the Slowpoke)

Go, Black Skull (Dratini)!

Start with a Thunder Wave! Then get in there with a Wrap and punish him with Thunderbolt!

If he uses Yawn, dive into the oasis so you can't hear him and strike from there.

Hm, seems like my opponent is pretty good at prediction. Let's try to turn that prediction around against him, Salmon. Since we know he'll be diving under to prevent Yawn, let's use Yawn anyway to prevent you from getting Paralyzed. As he comes up to Wrap you, use Calm Mind to buffer the incoming Thunderbolt hit, and follow up with a nasty super-effective Ice Beam. That should get the match going in the right direction!

So, the turn order is:

Yawn -> Calm Mind -> Ice Beam

Round 1

Let The First round Begin!

The two Pokemon enter the arena where the sun is beating down over the pond. Salmon quickly starts the battle and sets off a deafining Yawn trying to set Black Skull into thoughts of sleep. Black Skull quickly dodges and dives deep into the lake, out if sight through the dark waters.

Suddenly Black Skull explodes out of the water and locks itself in a tight grip which wraps around Salmon. Salmon bravely prepares for the Incoming attacks by Calming it's Mind, focusing on Black Skull.

Furious at Salmon Black Skull releases a massive Thunderbolt smashing Salmon backwards. Salmon after Calming his mind aims at Black Skull and shoots out a long beam of ice, freezing Black Skull tail to a icicle slowing him down.
Round 1 END!

Excellent job, Salmon! You froze Black Skull, giving us a bit of a benefit this time. Let's see what else you can do!

Time to get to work immediately. Fire off an Ice Beam at your frozen foe. Then, play it safe and use Calm Mind to hone your senses once again. Finish the round off with another direct Ice Beam!

If he uses Thunderbolt, replace the move you are about to use with Disable!

Black Skull, use Thunderbolt! Then use Thunder Wave, and follow it up with Dragon Rage!

Let The Second round Begin!

While Black Skull is slowed down by the crippling Ice that surrounds it's tail, an amazing beam of ice flys from Salmon hitting Black Skull for massive damage. Finally the Ice finally melts and Black Skull launches a electrical beam at Salmon pushing it backwards

Black Skull covers Salmon in a wave if electrical energy by covering it all over it's body. Salmon smiles as it stops Black Skull by disabling the powerful Thunderbolt.

Black Skull in a rage fires a Glowing stream of Flames at Salmon for 10 seconds while Salmon is helpless. But then Salmon retaliates And nearly Finishes Black Skull with a Ice Beam that leaves it barely breathing.

Round 2 END!

Keep the pressure going, Dratini! Use Dragon Pulse three times! Hopefully the paralysis will stop it fighting back!

All right, Salmon, one more Ice Beam will KO it! Relax your muscles to ease your paralysis, then fire off Ice Beams until it hits. Hopefully this will take one turn.

Ice Beam -> Ice Beam -> Ice Beam

Ice-Eyes new poke please.

Go, Radke (Voodoll)!

You did it Salmon! Way to get the KO! *hugs* Now, we have some more work to be done. He sent out Radke, the Voodoll. Luckily, your trainer's been doing his homework and knows that Voodoll has Insomnia, so no point in Yawining it.

Instead, I want you to start of this match-up by running over to the oasis and swimming right in the middle of it, Calming your Mind. When you do this, you should be able to force Radke into the water if it wants to get close with physical attacks. I'm sure the porous, cotton-filled doll won't like that one bit.

Next, from the water, fire off a powerful, boosted Surf! Then, fire off another Surf!

If he uses Substitute on the first turn, use Surf instead. Just remember to go into the water first before you do anything! Then, follow up with a Calm Mind, and then another Surf.

So:
Jump into oasis and Calm Mind -> Surf -> Surf
OR IF RADKE USES SUBSTITUTE ON FIRST TURN
Jump into oasis and Surf -> Calm Mind -> Surf

As it tries to jump away into the oasis, Pursuit it for extra damage! Then, follow; the oasis is only shallow and should only slow you down - enough to inflict a lethal Payback. Then, follow it up with a Return!

yeah ok, i'm taking this over

Eager to avenge the loss of Black Skull, Radke watches as Salmon makes a break towards the oasis. Radke responds quickly and pursues the Slowpoke into the water. Despite the advantage Salmon gains by being in the water, both Pokemon are able to stand freely in the shallow pools. Radke, feeling uncomfortable in the water gets his payback on Salmon who is in the exact opposite situation as Radke. However, Salmon is cool with it as he takes the time in the refreshing pool to calm his mind. It is at this moment that Radke begins to think of Ice-eyes and how much he loves fighting to the death for him, these memories bring him to use a powerful Return and knock Salmon back who retaliates with an oasis boosted Surf.

In the attack, a large amount of water was used and both Pokemon are in water up to their ankles.

Right, Radke! It's time to clean this shit up! Turn off your ability, and use the time taken to boost your Payback! Then finish him with two Returns!

If it tries to escape, use Pursuit to chase it down.

All right Salmon! Use Surf on the first turn. If you can survive a weak Payback + Return, use Disable on the second turn instead. That will come in handy later, plus give you a free Surf. On the last turn, use Surf!

Surf -> Disable -> Surf

Realizing that he's had Normalize activated the entire time, he takes the time to forget his mastery of the normal-type attack and allows Salmon to hit him with a punishing Surf. Unfortunately for Salmon, Radke is able to hit back with a now super effective Payback, sending the Slowpoke to her knees. Radke makes quick work of things, using Return to finish things off. Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan as Salmon is able to Disable Payback before another Return kills him off.

Good job Salmon! Way to go out with some power.

Go, Lumber! (Lumber the Timburr)

Lumber, use Bulk Up on the first turn to raise your stats. Follow that with Drain Punch, and then use Leer!

If it uses Substitute on the first or last turn, use Drain Punch! That will break the Sub, no matter how large it is!

Right Radke, go for broke! Using your Normalize ability, smash it with a Focus Punch as it goes for a Bulk Up, then take the Drain Punch and use Counter! Follow that up with another Focus Punch as it uses Leer!

Radke (Voodoll) [M]

Hoping to turn the tide back into his favor for good, DarkSlay sends out Lumber the Timburr, who is more than ready to play with his rather extreme type advantage. As Radke begins to recall his mastery of all things Normal, Lumber is found to be Bulking Up in clear hopes of ending this as soon as possible, however, once the workout is complete Radke pops up from behind and launches a devastating Focus Punch and the body builder to be. Infuriated, Lumber quickly responds with a Drain Punch that not only severely hurts Radke, but nothing like the counter that he quickly fires back. Both Pokemon now seriously reeling from the last round's events charge... well sit around as the final events take place. Lumber, unhappy from the counter he just took, leers at Radke who follows up with a Focus Punch to keep things even.
