[ELECTRIC] dogfish44 vs. ZhengTann

[ZhengTann]

Uh, Deadfox, Meganium has R5 defenses due to Rare Candy, so Eelektross' Acrobatics A2 would've dealt 19.5 damage only, and Meganium's Counter 29.25 damage. Also, Meganium's Overgrow would've triggered A3 when using Leaf Storm, resulting in 17.21 instead of 15.21 damage. So Eelektross would have 6 HP post-round, and Meganium 31 HP.

Although I doubt the end result would be any different.

A flash of irritation was right up Bhante's eyes- it's not just my brain playing tricks at me. Is he going to vent his frustration, at a battle that never seems to go to his plans?

"Well, thank goodness for Pulse's setup back there. Which you happily ignored."
<"Quite succinct. Will you now finish your victory?">
To which Dogfish replied, "Well now, you do know what happens to the challengers who lost, don't you?"

My mind flashed back to Imanalt's challenge. To Yarnus'. Wait ...... Dogfish wants to WHAT?!?!?!

No. Nononononono NO. NOT EVEN UPON MY DEAD BODY.

Wendy (Meganium @ Rare Candy): Petal Blizzard > Seed Bomb (Murena-Eelektross) > Petal Blizzard
IF Wendy-Meganium is the target of Taunt by Boltair-Emolga, THEN replace that action with Magic Coat instead, pushing remaining queue back.
IF Murena-Eelektross is under the effects of Endure AND is Murena-Eelektross is NOT under the effects of Leech Seed, THEN replace that action with Leech Seed @ Murena-Eelektross instead, pushing remaining queue back.
IF Murena-Eelektross is KO'ed, THEN replace the remaining action queue with Aromatherapy > Synthesis instead.

Lucy (Gardevoir @ Life Orb): Combo cooldown > Heal Bell > Healing Wish (switch)
IF Lucy-Gardevoir is Taunted, THEN replace the remaining action queue with Dazzling Gleam > Hyper Voice instead.
IF Lucy-Gardevoir is the target of Encore by Boltair-Emolga A3, THEN replace that action with Magic Coat instead, pushing remaining queue back.

 

[Dogfish44]

"Okay out there, let's keep pushing."

Emolga: Tailwind ~ Air Slash (Meganium) ~ Thunderbolt (Gardevoir)

Eelektross: Protect ~ Acrobatics (Meganium) ~ Thunderbolt (Gardevoir)

Deadfox, when you dish prizes out, could you give Electivire 3 MC? Apparently it gets Covet (It didn't last time I checked T_T)

I really don't mean to be overly negative or critical but this is another completely ineffective round from ZT which dogfish more than takes advantage of. For some reason he chose to sub against Taunt with a Pokemon that was only using attacking moves anyway and completely ignores Protect. Boltair then provides some more team support with a Tailwind that allows the electric types to one-two punch both Wendy and Lucy before they can even get an attack in. At least Lucy was able to ring a bell and get rid of the paralysis from her benched team mates.

Of course lets all go ahead and predict df's switch to Rotom to set up this inevitable clean sweep.

"Am I that predictable?"

Eelektross out, Rotom in

"I'm going to make this random guess that you're not going to counterswitch. Let's be having you!

Emolga: Discharge ~ Discharge ~ Discharge

[ONCE] IF Haxorus uses Endure THEN replace your next action with Encore (Haxorus) [i.e. Endure A1 means Encore A2, Endure A2 means Encore A3... ]
[ONCE] IF Muk uses Endure THEN replace your current action with Encore (Muk)​

Rotom: Discharge ~ Discharge ~ Discharge

IF Haxorus uses Endure A1 THEN Thunderbolt (Muk) A1
IF Haxorus uses Endure A1 AND Muk uses Endure A1 THEN Confuse Ray (Muk) A1​

 

[ZhengTann]

Triggering conflicting subs is not a bad idea. Also, Deadfox you forgot LO recoil last round - Emolga would have 71 HP post-round instead of 75. Still, it won't change the results, so I doubt Dogfish would care for a reorder (VM me if you actually do :P )

Right at the moment, the question is simple: to forfeit, or to keep on, regardless of the inevitable consequence? I cannot deny that I am too fixated, unable to realise it myself until too late- No, it is not yet too late. I still have now to contemplate, at least. But not if I don't end this battl-

"Zheng."

<"Hmm?">

"You go ahead, don't worry about it. You got us."

<".. Thank you. I'll leave it to you both then.">

"Also that young man who's making his way over here."

<"... What young man?">

"See him over there? I'd say he's coming over to act as if he'll help you battle."

Natsu (Haxorus @ Dragon Fang): Endure > Protect (self) > Endeavour (Boltair-Emolga)

Cana (Muk @ Black Sludge): Protect (self) > Endure > Ice Punch (Boltair-Emolga)

Despite this match being all but over both of you conspire to make this as fucking difficult as possible for me. However I'm pretty sure Emolga survives on 1 HP and I'd be astounded if Muk and Haxorus can fluke their way through next round. When exactly are we changing UC payment to reward rounds reffed or something? Because this has been a right pain in the butt for 19 UC.

Not that it matters, but Emolga's Motor Drive provides a Discharge Immunity :P

 

[ZhengTann]

I'm terribly sorry for dragging this match as long as I did, deadfox. And for being a lousy battler that makes people cringe.

"Hah! Take that!"

"... Mind telling me what this is all about?"

"Can't you see? I'm the challenger here now, so I'm continuing the battle!"

Dogfish narrowed his eyes at me. I knew his bullshit detector was blaring like crazy - but the fancy folks at the restaurant seemed elated by the turn of events. Probably word about that champaigne event has spread since I was last here. Oh dear Rayquaza......

"Fine. The crew will just show you offboard instead!"

"Any last words?"

"Uh, do I still owe you the favour after this, or do I now owe you double?"

"Eh, you still owe me."

Dogfish then pressed a note onto my hand. On it is the address to a monastery in the small town.

"The bhante you just helped lived there. Go there and ask to be his assistant, and then consider all charges dropped against you, both literally and figuratively."

"... Wait, so you actually meant for me to help him?"

"Not in the way you just did."

"Wha-what does it meaa-AAAAAYYYYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"

And then I next found myself washed ashore. Cold, wet, but luckily still sound. Wow.

*knock knock knock*

"I'm... sorry to interrupt, but may I-?"
<"Oh, so it's you. Come in and make yourself at home.">

The young man - he couldn't be much older than me, if at all - walked in, treading lightly. Glanced around, he asked,

"Are you alone in this monastery, bhante?"
<"No. I still my Pokemons. But if you're asking other than that, yes, I am the only monk living here.">
"... So that's what Dogfish intended-"
<"I'm sorry?">
"Oh, uh, nothing. I, uh, I'm sorry for what happened the other day."
<"Don't. In fact, I should thank you for that.">
"R-really? St-still, I, I am a Buddhist in learning too. The least I can do to is to give alms to you, bhante. Please let me stay as your assistant!"
<"Ah, I see. So you're the one... Alright then. I have a Jaw Fossil here. I take it you have no Pokemon at all? Your belt shows it.">
"Y-yes, master."
<"So take this Fossil, and revive it as your first Pokemon. I will be ging into retreat soon. So, while you are here, aside from your chores, you will have to help look after my Pokemons as well. The best way to learn how is to have your very own.">
"Th-thank you, master! I'll do my best, I promise!"

And so, the young man finally set foot upon the path he once feared...
