Ok, first of all, lets get things moving by using Thunder Wave. Then, follow up by using Echo Voice, and then Echo Voice again.

SERENE GRACE IS THE ABILITY CHOSEN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Destiny Warrior]

Going with Poison Point! For starters, lets deactivate it. We'll need to.

Poison Jab~Poison Tail~Sucker Punch

If Happiny becomes poisoned before Poison Tail is used, replace Poison Tail with Venoshock.

And so we all find ourselves back for another short 1v1 bout between Destiny Warrior and elDino, and this time the matchup is between Happiny and Nidorino, who has to be looking like the favourite at the moment. At any rate, he begins the match with a Poison Jab to try to infect Happiny with the poison he draws from within, and it manages, leaving Happiny poisoned for the rest of the game (5 Energy, 13 Damage). However, Happiny launches off a Thunder Wave in retaliation, paralysing Nidorino just as badly and leaving him struggling to even move (7 Energy). This means that it moves next as well, letting off its Echoed Voice around the cuburban area, and the soundwaves echo eerily around the place and bounce back towards Nidorino, hitting it hard (2 Energy, 7 Damage). Then, Nidorino turns around and now hits Happiny with a VenoShock, hitting much like before and hurting just as badly (8 Energy, 18 Damage). Then, Happiny moves to finish up her round with another Echoed Voice, and at just the last minute before it hits, Nidorino strikes with a powerful Sucker Punch at huge speeds, pounding Happiny before it can move (6 Energy, 10 Damage), but not stopping Happiny's attack going off, and it compounds with the attack from before to hit even harder (2 Energy, 9 Damage). This leaves the round over, and it is now DW's turn.​

And so we are back for the second round, now that DW has finally gotten over his quibbles with the reffing. As a brief update, Nidorino is now winning, and looks set to close it out reasonably quickly. In fact, Happiny allows Nidorino to move first, and Nidorino spends the time delivering another huge Venoshock to Happiny, which hits it in all of the areas it has been poisoned to hurt it very badly once again (8 Energy, 18 Damage). However, Happiny now Counters the blow, WHICH DOES NOTHING. Then, Happiny uses Refresh to remove itself of its status problem, and remove all of the poison from its system (7 Energy). However, Nidorino once again simply uses Venoshock at it, not hurting it nearly as badly this time because of the lack of poison, but it does still leave Happiny poisoned badly because of his poison points (12 Energy, 12 Damage). Then, Happiny once again allows Nidorino to go first, and Nidorino hits it with a powerful Double Kick attack, kicking it twice, hard, and bringing it down to only a very small amount of health (4 Energy, 11 Damage). However, Happiny Counters this too, and as a result does a large amount of damage back to Nidorino, leaving both looking very bad indeed (12 Energy, 17 Damage). This leaves the round once again over, and finally it looks like we are going in to the final round. Off you go, elDino!​

Well we're finally back for the last round, and it is a good thing too, because I really shouldn't be pretending I can think on this little sleep. Anyway, the round begins with Happiny, who, starts up her Echoed Voice again to get some damage before she goes down (2 Energy, 7 Damage). Then, Nidorino overcomes the paralysis to deliver another Double Kick as before, which pounds Happiny twice, until she is almost within range of a knockout blow (8 Energy, 11 Damage). Then, Happiny launches off another Echoed Voice, again compounding with the one before to hit Nidorino hard (2 Energy, 9 Damage). Then, finally, Nidorino hits Happiny with one final Double Kick and it is a Critical Hit, meaning that it secures the necessary damage to get the knockout (12 Energy, >12 Damage). This means that Destiny Warrior Wins! Well done to everyone except me, sorry about the terrible reffing, and I'm going to bed. You can work out the prizes.​
