A few miles off the coast of land a large pillar sticks out of the ocean. It reaches up into the clouds, the top blocked from view when the sky is not clear. Atop the pillar lies a square battlefield, traditional in almost every sense. However, a few important differences set this place apart from your standard Pokemon arena.

First of all, the pillar itself is hollow and filled with water, that creates a pool at the fields center, giving combatants a water source other than the sea miles below. Secondly, the field itself is exceptionally thin, and as such all Pokemon who attempt to bury through it will plummet to their demise if they cannot keep themselves aloft. Finally, at each corner of the field are pillars with what appear to be nest-like structures at the top. These features allow sky based Pokemon to rest their wings more easily.

But what is even more important than the physical features of the arena are the natural effects of the location. Due to its location above the tropical seas and the directness of the sun's rays, hail turns to rain before it ever reaches the ground. Additionally, a lack of sand makes summoning a sandstorm impossible.

However, the most prominent feature of the gym is the wind. At this high altitude, strong winds are nearly a constant. The prevailing air currents bring big gusts in from the west on a regular basis, from right behind where the gym leader stands. This provides a constant effect similar to a Tailwind at one third of normal strength for the gym leader's Pokemon. In addition, the strong winds also amplify moves that use their effects, boosting their power and their accuracy as.

Summary:

  • No Sandstorm or Hail
  • The thin battle platform prevents Dig.
    • Well technically using Dig will just cause the digging Pokemon to plummet thousands of feet into the water below, putting them out of bounds and knocking them out of the battle.
    • Flying and Levitating Pokemon who won't fall can still use Dig, but it won't actually do anything.
    • Seriously though, this is the flying gym. Why would you be using Dig anyways?
    • All other attacks are allowed.
  • Energy Cost of Roost reduced by 1.
  • Permanent Tailwind-like effect on Gym Leaders side (provides 1.33x speed boost)
  • Wind Based attacks have their base accuracy increased by 10% up to a maximum of 100%
  • Wind Based attacks have base power increased by 2
  • Wind based moves include the following: Hurricane, Razor Wind, Gust, Twister, Air Slash, Ominous Wind, Silver Wind, Heat Wave, Icy Wind (There may be others that I am forgetting)
  • Changes to the accuracy of attacks due to the wind are factored in before any other effects, such as stage boosts to accuracy or evasion.
  • All effects, including the power boost to wind moves and the Tailwind effect, are arena effects, not weather effects, and thus can not be negated by Cloud Nine, Air Lock or other such effects.
what a dull challenge...no caps, no bolded letter, no offenses *mumblemumble*

Erm...

ANYWAY

Hello folks! We are here today to see the battle between the Flying Gym Leader Jas61292 and the Challenger Elevator_Music!

Our Flying Gym Leader earned his position on an extremely tough battle against Objection, where, despite being the underdog (correct me if I am wrong), he used some very smart strategies to earn the Gym leadership. After that, the now Gym Leader passed through rough patches, mainly against teams with Cyclohm (4 losses in 4 battles), but don't count he out of the game just yet! Jas has Hatchet the Tomohawk, by far his best pokemon, and he knows it like few, as he took an active role in creating it (so the terrible pre-25 movepool is his fault!). “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles” Sun Tzu once again, and Jas surely knows his team. Will that be enough? We will see soon enough.

On the other side of the field is the challenger, Elevator_Music. Coming from a defeat against Dogfish in a close battle where he betted on a refined strategy, Elevator_Music is well known for being a player capable of pulling some tricks out of his sleeve and the opponent can't even see defeat coming, a quality which earned him the title of being the first player to reach Gold Pike. His signature pokemon is Togekissu the Togekiss, one of the very few pokemon that defeated Battle Hall, back when it was a Togepi.

But enough jibberjabber, as nobody reads this anyway. Let's move on the the teams!

Round 1

And our match begins now!

Elevator_Music was the first to send out his pokemon and Abagoora the Carracosta and Togekissu the Togekiss are chosen. The Gym Leader works on a low budget, so no items allowed. Speaking of Gym Leader, Jas61292 sends out his most trusted pokemon: Hatchet the Tomohawk and Lafayette the Honchkrow.

Here folks is a very risky move by the Gym Leader. He sent out his best pokemon on a round he will order first. If he does well and maintains the pressure, then he will have the next round to deal a ton of damage. But if he makes one single mistake, he may lose his best pokemon and be in a tough pickle for the remainder of the battle, specially against that Cyclohm. Doubles are very fast paced battles, so strategy plays a huge role in this. Don't ever enter a doubles gym without a good plan for the first round, as it tends to be the most crucial of all.

But enough talking, back to the battle!

Abagoora begins this match by using Bide to collect energy from the attacks launched at it and release on the last action of this round. If he survives, of course.

The Carracosta seems to have made a smart move, and it was the target of both Hatchet and Lafayette, as they attacked with Grass Knot and then Hidden Power (Grass). On a normal day that would mean a shit load of damage. But both Sturdy and Solid Rock softened the blow somewhat.

Finally, Togekissu takes advantage of the strong winds in this arena and uses them to fuel a powerful Air Slash that hits Hatchet for insane damage.

On the second turn, Abagoora continues to Hold energy and Hatchet and Lafayette continue to attack it, this time with Aura Sphere and Hidden Power. And Togekissu continues to use the strong winds to fuel an attack, this time Air Cutter, that hits both Honchkrow and Tomohawk.

On the final turn, Abagoora is ready to unleash all the energy collected on a reeeeally bright explosion that sent Lafayette flyiiiiiiiing awaaaaaaaay. By flying I mean it fainted and I forsee a very hurtful fall in the ground...right before our stolen Lakitu gets it, that is. Bummer.

Now 2vs1, Hatchet is in a tough position. It continues the assault on Abagoora, now solo, with Grass Knot, dealing less damage than one would guess. Much less damage than Togekissu dealt with Air Slash.

And round 1 is over! The challenger has a big advantage, now that the Gym Leader 2nd best pokemon is out and his signature mon is quite weak. But don't count the Leader out, as he still has quite some tricks up his sleeve.

Round 2​

The Gym Leader retreats and regroups and he sends another of his strongest pokemon to the fray: Roosevelt the Salamence. Which didn't bother to intimidate his foes. I guess it doesn't really matter lol.

Anyway, Team Jasnumbers begins this round by ganging-up on Abagoora to avoid the rather troublesome Icy Wind. They attack with Hidden Power (Grass) and Aura Sphere and Carracosta Fainted!.

Now it's 2vs1, but Togekissu isn't bothered, as it attacks both his foes with Air Cutter, dealing a bit more damage than one would expect for such a cheap attack. And that makes a little bit harder for the Gym Leader to catch up.

On the Second Round, Roosevelt charges his fangs with electricity and attacks with Thunder Fang. Sensing danger, Hatchet Bounces up and manages to avoid Togekissu's Air Slash. Unfortunately, the strong winds and said attack affected Hatchet's fall, and Bounce missed!.

Finally, now its Roosevelt time to fly uuuup, while Hatchet Roosts and gets some precious health back...right before Togekissu hits it with Hyper Voice, which didn't reach the Salamence. Speaking of Roosevelt, it later flies down and attacks Togekissu with great speed and power.

With this turn, the Gym Leader managed to catch up a bit. Elevator_Music still has the advantage, but it is still soon to make an elaborated guess. Doubles are usually a form of battle with VERY volatile momentum, so we can't draw a conclusion just yet.

Salamence: Hidden Power Grass (Carracosta): (7+1.5-1-2)*2.25= 12.37 damage for 5 energy
Crit: doesn't matter

Tomohawk: Aura Sphere (Carracosta): (9+3+1.5-1-2)*1.5= 15.75 damage for 6 energy

Round 3​

Oh boy.

anyway.

The challenger sends out Yadoking the Slowking to the fray. And he is the first to act by covering itself in a Magic Coat that will pretty much define this entire round. That is because Hatchet just tried to Taunt Slowking, and the Magic Coat reflected it back. Tomohawk is taunted!.

Trying to salvage this turn, Roosevelt attacks with Rock Slide getting a grand total of no flinches! To be entirely honest, I don't know where the rocks came from. Probably from lack of a mention in the rules.

Oh and Togekissu attackes the taunted Hatchet with a devastating Air Slash powered by the winds that, by the way, undermined the Leader for a nice irony. Tomohawk was KO'd!

On the second turn, Hatchet tries to Yawn, but Taunt made the move fail! Roosevelt poisons Yadoking with Toxic, but was unable to see the disaster that was unfolding. Powered by Togekissu's Helping Hand, Yadoking begins to focus a massive amount of frost energy on his crown and with a long yell it "fires" a Frosty Beam at Roosevelt! And the Dragon just can't handle all the awesomeness in it and faints! Salamence was KO'd!

Holy guacamole...

Slowking: Magic Coat for 9 energy

Tomohawk: Taunt (Slowking) for 10 energy
which was reflected back due to magic coat.

Salamence: Rock Slide for 6 energy
vs Togekiss: (8*0.75+4)*1.5= 15 damage
vs Slowking: (8*0.75+4)= 10 damage
Hit: 89, 20 (yes yes)
Crit: 15, 5 (no no)
Flinch: 10, 9 (no no)

Togekiss: Air Slash (Tomohawk): (8+2+3+4)*1.5= 25.5 damage for 5 energy
Crit: 6

Tomohawk fainted!

Togekiss: Helping hand for 26.5 energy

Tomohawk: Yawn (Togekiss): failed due to taunt for 7 energy

Salamence: Toxic (Slowking) for 7 energy
Hit: 79 (yes)

Slowking: Ice Beam+Ice Beam: (10*2.25*2+3)*2.25= 108 (!!!) damage for 31.5 energy
Crit: that would be a tad overkill
Freeze: Faint overrides that
-1hp due to toxic

Uh... wel.... uh.... hmm..... I send out... umm....

Ledian

The chances of a comeback are...slim... but Gliscor is not going to do it when there are ice moves involved, and Swanna isn't either when there is a Cyclohm.

Round 4

And the Gym Leader sends out Lucas the Ledian to the fray.

A Ledian? you may ask. Well, Ledian's support movepool is actually quite good with moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, Encore, Safeguard etc. On Doubles it can provide good assistance. Sure, here it is more of a....erm....glorified paperweight <_<;. But I digress.

Anyway, the newcomer is greeted with a barrage of powerful attacks as it is hit by Air Slash then Air Cutter ending with a Power Gem. Surviving the attacks thanks to a decent special defense Lucas begins by using Bide to Hold all the energy and then Releases it on the last attacker: Yadoking, getting a swift KO in the process! one more than I thought it would get.

After that, he was attacked with a powerful Air Slash that left it hanging by a thread.

Also Cyclohm is up.

And Jas orders first.

Guess the end is quite predictable >_>.

Ledian: Bide

Togekiss: Air Slash: (8 + 2 + 3 + 2.5)*1.5= 23.25 damage for 5 energy
Crit: 7 (no)

Slowking: cooldown

Ledian: Bide

Togekiss: Air Cutter: (6+2+3+2.5)*1.5= 20.25 damage for 4 energy
Crit: 13 (no)

Slowking: Power Gem: (7+1.5)*2.25= 19.125
Crit: 7 (no)

Ledian: Release (Slowking): (23.25+20.25+19.125)*1.75= 109.59 damage for 6+(109.59)/2= 60.79 energy

Slowking fainted!

Togekiss: Air Slash: (8 + 2 + 3 + 2.5)*1.5= 23.25 damage for 5 energy

Mach Punch + Ice Punch (Cyclohm) - cooldown - die
If Togekiss uses Extremespeed, Mach Punch + Mach Punch (Cyclohm) action 1 instead
If Togekiss uses Extremespeed + Extreemspeed, Protect and push back

Yes, I lose. All I want now is to punch a fucking Cyclohm. Is that too much to ask?

Last Round

This battle was very interesting overall. Unpredictable, in a way. I mean:

1) Cyclohm didn't make any difference other than psychological warfare.
2) The MVP of this match was Togekiss, the only pokemon that didn't use any single move Supereffective against the Flying type. Also a flying type itself to boot.
3) Aside for the Tailwind effect (which didn't change much) the arena worked more against the leader than in favour of him.
4) Adding to the item above, half the pokemon the leader used were weak themselves against Flying-type. Its Ironic how flying is good against the flying leader if you ask me <_<;.
5) The Leader's pokemon that dealt the most damage was Ledian (88hp), while some would expect any of the other three used to take that title. Same way, The challenger's pokemon that dealt the most damage was Togekiss (whooping 233hp of damage, more than half the overall damage dealt) and not Cyclohm (which dealt 0 damage).

But enough jibberjabber, let me just tell you all what happened.

In the end Cyclohm Protected against Lucas's Mach Punch + Mach Punchwhile Togekissu, deservingly, ends the battle by finishing off Lucas with Extremespeed.

Cyclohm used Protect for 11 energy

Ledian: Mach Punch + Mach Punch: 4*2.25+2-3 = 9 damage for 24.5 energy

Togekiss: Extremespeed: 8+3-3=8 damage for 5 energy

Ledian Fainted!

Jas61292 is out of useable pokemon!

Hey, my sub should have made ledian use Mach Punch + Mach Punch would also be +2, and Ledian is faster in this arena, meaning it totally got to punch... a wall. Yeah....
