The ASB Tournament Arena

Surrounded by thousands of screaming Pokemon fans, the ASB Arena can be best described as a standard Pokemon battling arena. In the center of the arena lies a dirt-based floor outlined to show two separate sides (with a white Pokeball center). Surrounding the dirt is a moat filled with water. The moat is about fifteen feet wide and creates a perimeter around the dirt arena. The arena itself is eighty feet wide, one hundred feet long. All moves, weathers, and abilities are legal for the match, since it's an outdoor arena with a large water source and packed dirt. Pokemon must stay in the arena (or the dimensions of the arena in the case of Flying Pokemon, who cannot leave the arena and cannot fly higher than sixty feet). This prevents Pokemon from injuring the crowd watching the tournament. There are no outside interruptions by fans, Pokemon, or other elements not associated with the current battle.

The coin flips and.......... danmantincan will send out Pokemon, followed by orders from shadowbone66, and then orders from danmantincan.

BATTLE: START!

 

[danmantincan]

Ok, although I'm apparently a large favourite, we can't give him any leeway. Let's do this, Jill!

 

[shadowbone66]

Jill? Did not see that coming. Let's go, Guardia!

Let's try to weaken it. Screech at it to lower its defenses. Then run up and use Smack Down followed by Earthquake, if you can. Detect any Ice Beams thrown your way, though.

 

[danmantincan]

I know you didn't, that's the plan.

Let's hang six and start the battle off with a Surf. Then use an Ice Beam so he used Detect rather than Smack Down. Then use Surf again, while he uses a useless Earthquake.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your referee / commentator for this particular Round 1 match! As our opponents shakes hand, the coin flips, and it is determined that Danmantincan will send out a Pokemon first! He throws his Pokeball into the air, and out comes out Jill the Dragonite! Not wanting to be bested, Shadowbone66 decides to send out Guardia the Marowak!

And our challengers are off! Jill is the faster of the two, and she uses the water from the moat to launch a gigantic Surf right at Guardia. Owch, that must have stung! Guardia screeches in pain- no wait, that isn't a howl from pain, it is a battle cry! The supersonic waves makes Jill have an enourmous headache. It will be hard for her to defend against physical attacks.

Guardia then tries to smack down the dragon, but Jill retaliates by firing a cold beam of ice at her. That attack might do some nasty damage, so Guardia instead Detects the attack and escapes unscathed. Not for too long, though, as Jill launches another Surf! The roaring water sweeps Guardia far across the arena. She panicks and tries to use Earthquake on Jill, but forgot that she never used Smack Down, so the attack fails.

raw numbers

Jill: Surf on Guardia. Deals 17.25 damage. Costs 7 energy.
Guardia: Screech on Jill. Lowers defenses. Costs 6 energy.
Guardia: Detects the oncoming Ice Beam. Costs 12.75 (7 + 17.25/3) energy.
Jill: Attempts to use Ice Beam. Fails. Costs 7 energy.
Jill: Surf on Guardia. Deals 17.25 damage. Costs 7 energy.
Guardia: Attempts to use Earthquake. Fails. Costs 7 energy.

The waves have swept Guardia to the northern end of the arena. She is about 25 feet from the northern moat, and 40 feet from either side. Jill hovers slowly on the center.

It is danmantincan's turn!

 

[danmantincan]

Great job Jill!

Let's keep the heat on Marowak with an Ice Beam, followed by another Surf, then finish off with a second Ice Beam. If he tries to use Smack Down, use Agility to avoid the attack.

 

[shadowbone66]

Please. I'm no fool.

Guardia, start out with detect to avoid the Ice Beam. Then, Smack Down to make him dodge. Finish him off with a Thunderpunch TO THE FACE.

The last round has left Guardia the Marowak at a big disadvantage. However, the match has just begone, so not all hope is lost. Can Guardia and Shadowbone66 regain momentum?

This round starts up as Jill opens her mouth wide, creating a tiny blue sphere that grows bigger and bigger. This looks like an oncoming Ice Beam attack! Suddenly, Jill howls a mighty roar and launches the bone-chilling beam at Guardia, who Detects the attack and easily escapes unscatched.

Jill is being very relentless, though. She prepares to call upon the water in the moat to launch a gigantic tidal wave at the Marowak, but wait! Guardia is suddenly creating a gigantic magical rock to smack Jill down into the ground. If that rock hits, Jill won't be able to escape Guardia's Earthquakes, and with her already low defense combined with the previous drop from Screech, that won't be good! So, with speedy Agility, she manages to dodge that rock right in the nick of time.

Jill now does a half-somersault in the air, launching yet another ice-cold Ice Beam at Guardia. All of these super effective attacks are starting to bring the Marowak down, however, the match has only begun, and it will take a lot more to bring her down! Guardia manages to get herself together after the attack, and springs up into the air. Her fists crackle with electricity, and ThunderPunches the Dragonite right in the belly before falling back.

raw numbers

Jill: Ice Beam on Guardia. Fails. Costs 7 energy.
Guardia: Detects the oncoming Ice Beam. Costs 12.75 (7 + 17.25/3) energy.
Jill: Uses evasive Agility to dodge a move. Costs 7 energy.
Guardia: Attempts to use Smack Down on Guardia. Fails. Costs 3 energy.
Jill: Ice Beam on Guardia. Deals 17.25 damage. Costs 7 energy.
Guardia: ThunderPunch on Jill. Deals 10.5 damage. Costs 6 energy.

The battle has moved back to the center of the arena again! Shadowbone66 will issue actions first this time.

 

[shadowbone66]

Detect-Smack Down-Screech

Play it safe, but we gotta make up for that early mistake!

 

[danmantincan]

Okay then, if we can't hurt him on the first action, let's just Chill and regain some of our energy. Next, use Agility to avoid Smack Down again. Then finish with a Hurricane, which will block out the sound of his Screech.

Also, I believe there is a mix up with Marowak's HP. Three of my attacks hit, each dealing 17 damage. 100-(17x3)=100-(51)=49 HP

 

[shadowbone66]

Only one of them hit last round. You dodged on one action and I Detected another.

 

[danmantincan]

And two hit in the first round. That's why it was 100(Original HP)-[17(Damage)x3(# of times successful)] = 49

 

[shadowbone66]

Deadline near, Lime. Just bumping for your sake.

 

[Limewire]

I see the issue here. The problem occured during the first round when I mistakenly listed Marowak's HP as 75 instead of 65. Perhaps this explains why I'm terrible at pre-calculus.

Two rounds have already passed on, and Guardia finds herself at a tactical disadvantage. Perhaps the tables will turn this time? Let us find out.

The previous barrage of Surfs and Ice Beams have recently shook Guardia up quite a bit. It is evident that she is slowly, but surely, becoming paranoid, for she uses Detect immediately as this round starts up. However, Jill has also started to observe the Marowak's odd behaviour in the match. She decides to take a chance by chilling out during the start of the round. Lo and behold, it works! Poor Guardia ends up wasting her energy for nothing while Jill recovers some of her own.

Things still aren't looking too good for Guardia. She attempts to create another magical rock that will hopefully Smack Down Jill right onto the ground. However, just as the boulder was about to smash into Jill, the Dragonite once again zips away with an evasive Agility, without a single scratch. This is really starting to tick Guardia off. She Screeches at Jill, a screech so loud that is starting to give the audience a major headache. Jill counters the noise by flapping her wings in a frenzy, creating a roaring Hurricane that picks up Guardia and spins her around several times before she plummets into the ground.

raw numbers

Jill: Chills out. Restores 12 energy.
Guardia: Tries to Detect a move, but fails. Costs 7 (7 + 0/3) energy.
Jill: Uses evasive Agility to dodge a move. Costs 7 energy.
Guardia: Attempts to use Smack Down on Guardia. Fails. Costs 3 energy.
Jill: Hurricane on Guardia. Deals 16.5 damage. Costs 8 energy.
Guardia: Screech on Jill. The Hurricane blocks out the noise! Deals 16.5 damage. Costs 6 energy.

The Hurricane has blown Guardia to the lower-left corner of the arena, with Jill hovering above. Guardia is completely exhausted by now. Tincandanman will go first this time.

 

[danmantincan]

Ok, it's time to end this.

Let's go with another round of Ice Beam~Surf~Ice Beam. Use Agility to avoid any incoming Smack Downs, unless your attack would KO Marowak.

It looks like this is the end for Guardia, but in ASB, things can change for the worse very quickly. Let us see how this round plays out, shall we?

Jill is quite relentless. Right as the round starts, a concentrated blue ball of ice forms at her mouth, before exploding into a beam and jabbing Guardia square into the chest. The blast dealt quite a bit of damage, and I doubt that Guardia will last much longer. However, Guardia is as tough as a box of nails. Even with her health failing, she can easily launch attacks at full power. Jill should still be on her guard- and here comes Guardia's counterattack! With her fists crackling with electricity, she quickly jumps up and runs across the Ice Beam before it fades away, giving Jill an uppercut to the face with a ThunderPunch.

That was a remarkable feat, but Jill is still at a very high health and easily shrugs off the blow. Guardia lands dangerously close to the moat as she lands down, and Jill takes full advantage. She calls upon the water to create yet another gigantic Surf that picks up Guardia and sweeps her all the way to the center of the arena. The sheer proximity of the attack was too much, and knocked out Guardia for the remainder of the match.

raw numbers

Jill: Ice Beam on Guardia. Deals 17 damage. Costs 7 energy.
Guardia: ThunderPunch on Jill. Deals 9.5 damage. Costs 6 energy.
Jill: Surf on Guardia. Deals 17 damage. Costs 7 energy.

With shadowbone down to one Pokemon, Danmantincan has a clear advantage. However, Jill's energy level is dangerously low. Could this turn the tides of the battle?

shadowbone will send out mon and issue actions.

 

[danmantincan]

I hate to do this again Limewire, but Marowak should have be KOed by Surf (17x2=34. 34>32), meaning Dragonite wouldn't be hit by the second ThunderPunch and be paralyzed. EDIT: And save the energy from the final attack.

 

[shadowbone66]

I guess I'll post Flik's actions, as he gets sent out even with the edits.

Flik, you have speed on your side. So use it to boost your Iron body in Defense! Hone your Claws, then Hustle over and use Stone Edge!

Summary:

Iron Defense -> Hone Claws -> Hustle Stone Edge

 

[danmantincan]

He may have the speed advantage for now, but let's start by crippling Durant with a Thunder Wave. Then scorch the bug with a Fire Blast and finish the round by Chilling and regaining some energy.

 

[shadowbone66]

Uh. Lime. We're a bit past the DQ date. Please post ASAP.

After the somewhat sub-par preformance of Guardia, fans are hoping that Flik the Durant, our new challenger against Jill, will put up a much better fight. Jill still has a lot of health left, but she is starting to look more tired by the minute. Danmantincan will have to take careful observation of her energy level.

Flik is a lot faster than Jill, and uses Iron Defese to pour out liquid iron onto his skin, which quickly solidies and greatly buffs up his already impressive defense stat. However, this speed advantage will not last for long! Jill starts to gather electricity at her horn, and sends a weak pulse of it straight at Flik. The Thunder Wave was too weak to cause any damage, but it did manage to paralyze Flik.

Flik is still recovering from the move when Jill strikes again! Physical moves won't do a thing, so she goes with something special- a nice, tasty Fire Blast should do the trick. Durant immediately gasps at the Kanji-shaped flame from his battles against the #1 Durant enemy, Heatmor. Normally, Flik could avoid the attack, but the previous Thunder Wave slows him down quite a bit, and the blast scorches his entire body, dealing quite a lot of damage. Flik tries to ignore the attack, and silently Hones his Claws at Jill.

Jill is very impressed at the damage she has dealt in the course of only one round. However, she is very tired at this point, and decides to chill out for a bit. Bad mistake! Despite being paralyzed, Flik manages to shake it off and yanks a gigantic stone with a wickedly sharp edge and throws it at Jill. The velocity of the attack is greater than normal since Flik activates his Hustle ability- we had to use the slow-motion camera to see the stone move!

Flik: Iron Defense. +2 Def. Costs 7 energy.
Jill: Thunder Wave on Flik. Deals 25% paralysis! Costs 7 energy.
Jill: Fire Blast on Flik. Deals 36 damage. Costs 8 energy.

Ok, it's time to finish this Jill!

Use Fire Blast again, then follow that up with a Fire Punch. If the ant is till alive, torch it with a Fire Blast. If Durant uses Dig to avoid your attack, just Chill instead.

Jill is starting to pant a lot- she has used up a lot of health and energy so far. Flik's health isn't too good either, but he still has plenty of stamina left.

Jill starts off with a scorching Fire Blast aimed straight at flick. Good lord, the attack will probably cause the poor Durant to endure nightmares to come, but now, he has bigger problems to face. Fire Blast not only took out a large chunk out of his health, but also dealt a second-degree burn as well! However, Flik is probably more annoyed at getting outsped than he is scared, so he manages to bypass his own paralysis to generate a Thunder Wave to paralyze Jill.

Flik now finds itself faster than Jill. Hooray! Once again, he manages to bypass his paralysis and Hustles up to remove a large, sharp-edged stone from the ground. With great strength, Flik flings this stone right into Jill's belly, causing her to recoil in pain. However, not all is lost. Although Jill is starting to feel very sluggish, she puts her fist on fire, and flies straight at Flik to punch him. Flik instantly realizes that, even with his boost in defense, there is no way he could survive this attack, but too late! Jill punches Flik right on the head, causing him to lose concious and faint.

raw numbers

Jill: Fire Blast on Flik. Deals 36 damage. Costs 8 energy. Burns Flik! (2nd degree)
Flik: Thunder Wave on Jill. Deals 25% paralysis! Costs 7 energy. -2 HP.
Flik: Hustle-boosted Stone Edge. Deals 22.75 damage. Costs 8 energy.
