The Best of the Rest. Also known as: The Meloetta Cup. A tournament where those who were not chosen to duke it out for a Mewtwo, instead duke it out for a forme changing legend. This is the first round, where sixteen users are in, & only eight will remain at the end. This match: This is battle eight, where two Smogon users will duke it out in a scrappy affair. On one hand, we have akela, who seems to look like being at the mercy of his opponent this round. His Pinsir & its mega evolution capabilities will be critical if akela wants any hope of winning. Arcanite—akela's opponent—is fresh off a Round Three appearance in the ASB Factory Tournament, seems to come into this match with a well drilled squad that is more than capable of winning. His Lucario in particular will be critical this match, especially given his lack of Grass-type coverage. Who will win this fight? Well, it is time to view the teams, the regulations, & who will move first.

ASB Tournament Arena

Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
Field Type: Neutral
Complexity: Simple
Format: All

Restrictions: No Restrictions

Description: Surrounded by thousands of screaming Pokémon fans, the ASB Arena can be best described as a standard Pokémon battling arena. In the centre of the arena lies a dirt-based floor outlined to show two separate sides (with a white Poké Ball centre). Surrounding the dirt is a moat filled with water. The moat is about 4.5m wide & creates a perimeter around the dirt arena. The arena itself is 24m wide, 33m long. All moves, weathers, and abilities are legal for the match, since it is an outdoor arena with a large water source & packed dirt. Pokémon must stay in the arena (or the dimensions of the arena in the case of Flying-type Pokémon, who cannot leave the arena & cannot fly higher than 18m). This prevents Pokémon from injuring the crowd watching the tournament. There are no outside interruptions by fans, Pokémon, or other elements not associated with the current battle.

Well the match has begun. Arcanite leads out with a Cyclohm holding an Expert Belt. akela leads with a Golem holding a Link Cable. How will this match pan out in the early rounds? Well, it is time to find out.

... And... Well. Things went awry for akela. The Cyclohm opened the round with a Magnet Rise which allows it to float over the Golem & laugh. The Golem was not amused & fought back, hurling toxic sludge at the Cyclohm & hitting him, leaving the Cyclohm with a bad poison which will only get worse with time. Not that it matters at the moment. Anyhow the Cyclohm continued, firing the first blow with a cold beam of ice. The attack so powerful & so cold, that it struck the Golem critically! Ouch! Worse yet, it also turned the Golem into an ice cube. Not that it was actually a bad thing if you look at the orders, rather, a blessing in disguise. Well, the Golem then just stood there, a raging, frozen figure, unable to do anything. The Cyclohm simply laughed, then launched a powerful pulse of draconic (Shut up, I know it is not a word) energy. The attack struck, & dealt some damage to the Golem, as it thawed out & did a jump, before slamming the arena floor to create an almighty tremor, guaranteed to shake up the Cyclohm... Well it would have, if not for the fact that it was ten metres up in the air, lol. Anyhow, the Cyclohm continued to take poison damage, & out of the blue, it magically got worse! Logic some times...

Nevertheless, Arcanite well & truly capitalised on akela's poor orders, giving himself crucial early-game momentum. But then again, it is still early days. What will happen next round? Read on.

The Cyclohm began the round by calling forth a massive downpour on the ASB Arena, turning the weather into a favourable rainy conditions, but the Golem was not going to have any of that, polishing itself somehow to make himself more smooth, removing drag, & greatly increasing his speed, before punishing bad play by removing the rain by kicking up dust, before brewing up incredibly favourable sandstorm conditions. This proceeded to greatly blunt the Cyclohm's weather ball attack, which was turned into a Rock-type attack by the sandstorm, before knocking the Golem for minor damage. The Golem then threw up a protective barrier, which then proceeded to block a powerful jet of water coming from the mouths of the Cyclohm, albeit causing a fair bit of energy damage to the Golem. The Cyclohm then suddenly fell from the sky as its levitating effect wore off, as the poison damage it was taking got worse. Again.

The round is up, & in spite of this, the Cyclohm came off better this round, as the Golem got slower from decay. Then again, there is a possible switch, but will akela switch? Well, we will see soon enough.

Yeah I am going to add full flavour here soon enough. Basically akela was forced onto the defensive again as an item exchange occurs. Now the Carracosta is confused, lost more HP & EN than the Machamp, & will have first orders next round. No switch phase will save him from taking what will probably be a thorough beating next round, it seems...

The damage race ensues this round, as a self hit on the Carracosta's part did not help akela's chances that much, as it lost out in terms of damage again to the Machamp, helping Arcanite build his HP lead further. What will happen next round? We will see!

[Arcanite]

Confusion: This status effect causes a Pokemon to become disoriented for a while. When a Pokemon becomes confused, its confusion counter will start at either 2, 3 or 4, with a 1/3 chance of each. As with sleep and freeze, the Pokemon's confusion counter is checked at the start of its turn and the Pokemon snaps out of confusion if its confusion counter is 0. If it is not 0, however, then there is a 50% chance that the Pokemon will not perform its intended action, but will instead hit itself in confusion. If it does, the Pokemon's confusion counter decreases by 2. If it acts as normal, the Pokemon's confusion counter decreases by 1. Additionally, if the Pokemon takes at least 16 damage from a single attack, its confusion counter drops to 0 immediately. The Pokemon's confusion counter never goes below 0.

Its_A_Random Unless I'm reading this wrong, shouldn't the confusion level fallen to 2a after a1, then 0a after a2 because Carracosta hit itself? This would mean that the dynamic punch would have inflicted confusion at the start of a3, and therefore Carracosta had a chance to hit itself.

EDIT: OK, understand now.

 

[Arcanite]

Dynamic Punch > Bullet Punch + Bullet Punch Combo > Cooldown (Bullet Punch)
---IF Carracosta uses double team on a1, THEN replace actions with: Dynamic Punch > Earthquake > Bullet Punch
---IF Carracosta uses a Protective/Evasive Move, THEN chill and push actions down.

Well Arcanite thought he had Carracosta all wrapped up with his Machamp. He thought he had it all wrapped up. Well, only for him to miscalculate. So the Carracosta got belted by a Dynamic Punch, & she hit herself in her confusion. Well that is fair. Then the Machamp went for a MEGA BULLET PUNCH!!! It should have finished the Carracosta off. It did not. The Carracosta lived on zero point seven five HP. Zero point seven five. And oh boy did the Carracosta make the Machamp pay. The Carracosta avoided hitting herself to launch a powerful priority waterfall combo that leaves the Machamp in a critical condition. Then the two cool down as the sandstorm subsides.

Well to be fair, akela managed to pull a bit of the deficit back this round. Will he pull back more? Find out next round!

Well this round was a high intensity damage race, with the Lucario mega evolving & dealing lots of damage to the Pinsir which did not mega evolve! Well not mega evolving was a good idea for the Pinsir, as it did not take that much damage, & dealt far more damage in response! Could akela make a comeback from here? Find out next round!
