LET'S GET IT

 

[Black Buddha]

Let's jumpstart this with Faraday the Elekid!

 

[The Shiny Umbreon]

In that case, come on out, Cappy!

Start out by using Dig to get some damage on him! Then Dig again, and end the round by Digging some more! If he tries to use a fighting type attack on you, use Detect instead to evade it!

 

[Black Buddha]

Ok Faraday, hit it with a Thunder Wave before it goes down under. Follow up with a Meditate while hes underground and strike it with a ThunderPunch when he resurfaces. If at any point the paralysis stops him from digging, attack with a ThunderPunch.

Y'know, I happen to be a big Brawl fan myself. Just for the record.

Round 1...Begin!

Whoa...where are we? It looks like we're in...space? Whatever, we aren't here to admire the scenery, we're here for a Pokemon battle! On the west (read: left) end of the platform, Black Buddha releases Faraday, his Elekid! Across from him is The Shiny Umbreon, who starts out with his Eevee, Cappy! (No telling what THAT thing'll evolve into...)

Faraday wins initiative and strikes first with a crippling Thunder Wave! Cappy writhes painfully under the electric shock, and appears to be paralyzed! He finds the strength to keep going, though, and tries to Dig under the surface! Just one problem: the floor is too hard for Cappy to even make a dent in it! That could be problematic!

Observing Cappy trying to Dig its way into the platform seems to be boring to Faraday, so he folds up his legs and Meditates, slightly increasing his Attack! Cappy's still trying in vain to Dig his way underground, but he may as well give up: Master Hand himself made that platform, so it's not collapsing anytime soon!

Faraday finally goes on the offensive, charging Cappy and nailing him with a ThunderPunch! Unfazed, and seemingly unaffected so far by the paralysis, Cappy continues to fruitlessly Dig at the floor! Either he's stupid, or just determined, but any way you slice it, Cappy didn't do anything worthwhile this round!

It's a bit one-sided at the moment, but this intergalactic battle is just getting started! We'll have more after a word from our sponsors!

Or if you hate flavor...

Faraday's Thunder Wave: Cappy is now 25% Paralyzed. Faraday expends 7 Energy.

Cappy's Dig: RNG rolls 858; Cappy can move. Fails due to hardness of arena floor. Cappy expends 6 Energy.

Faraday's Meditate: Faraday's Attack is raised 1 stage. Faraday expends 5 Energy.

Cappy's Dig: RNG rolls 839; Cappy can move. Fails due to hardness of arena floor. Cappy expends 10 Energy.

Faraday's ThunderPunch: Deals 14 damage to Cappy. Faraday expends 6 Energy.

Cappy's Dig: RNG rolls 985; Cappy can move. Fails due to hardness of arena floor. Cappy expends 14 Energy.

Buddha, your turn.

 

[Black Buddha]

Ok, we're off to a good start, great work Faraday!

Now, attack with a Brick Break! Follow it up with another Brick Break! End the round with a Thunder Punch! If he uses a non-attacking move, replace the next action with a Meditate.

 

[The Shiny Umbreon]

Alright, as valiant as your effort was, I think we have to change it up a bit :P.

Use Curse to start, Detect to block the second Brick Break, and then use Return to actually do damage to this thing!

 

[Galladiator]

...that was fast.

I'll DP with the reffing later--can't effectively ref on my phone.

Round 2

Wow, three days later, I finally decide to ref this. I suck.

Round 2...Begin!

And we're back for Round 2! Faraday's started us off again, slugging Cappy hard enough to break bricks! That's going to leave a mark! But what's this? Cappy seems to be Cursing at Faraday! I don't think we can air these words, but it seems to have fired Cappy up!

Cappy seems to know that he's pretty much thrown down the gauntlet, so he tries to Detect an attack! But it was unnecessary--rather than letting his emotion take over, Faraday's decided to Meditate once more to clear his mind and raise his Attack again to match Cappy's Defense boost! Nicely done!

His mind fully clear, Faraday now runs over and attacks with a ThunderPunch! That one wasn't a critical hit, but it sent Cappy skittering to the end of the platform, barely holding on! In retaliation, Cappy dives at Faraday with a Return! It was a decent hit, but Cappy's going to have to hit harder than that to get back in this thing!

The battle rages on, and it's a bit one-sided! Can Faraday finish the fight, or can Cappy pull out a comeback? Stay tuned...

[The Shiny Umbreon]

Use a combination of Quick Attack and Return to get behind him and push him towards the edge, then as soon as you get your breath back from the combination, use Return again to try to push him off! If you're fully paralyzed on the combination attack, use Quick Attack for your second attack. Focus on getting him off the stage, it's your best chance!

 

[Black Buddha]

Fight fire with fire, and use your own Quick Attack to intercept him. Follow up with two Brick Breaks!

Cappy
HP: 48
Energy: 50
Other: Paralyzed (15%); Attack, Defense +1, Speed -1

Round 3...Begin!

This battle's just heating up! Faraday tries to intercept Cappy's oncoming attack with a Quick Attack, but it does no good; in fact, it seems to have made things worse, as the combined momentum of Faraday's Quick Attack and Cappy's own, more powerful attack--a clever mix between Quick Attack and Return--sends him flying through the air! Can he make it back to the stage? No he can't! Faraday falls off the stage and into oblivion!

Fortunately, we're in the Super Smash Bros. world, where things aren't nearly as normal! Whereas Faraday would more than likely be dead after that fall in the real world, here he's just teleported back to the top of the stage, slightly the worse for ware but nevertheless all right. He has to rest, though--that fall must have taken a lot out of him! Cappy decides to catch his breath as well after that amazing attack that shifted the tide of this battle!

Faraday finally comes to his senses and charges at Cappy and connects with a Brick Break! Not impressed, Cappy comes back with another Return, sending Faraday sliding back a bit! Despite being fully in control at the start of this round, Faraday is now starting to show signs of fatigue! Can he pull something out? Or will Cappy be able to finish the unprecedented comeback off? Stay tuned and find out!

Cappy must rest after the combo move.

Buddha, you're up.

 

[Black Buddha]

Oh dear that went very wrong

We've got to end this quick. Use Thunder followed by a Brick Break and end with a ThunderPunch.

 

[The Shiny Umbreon]

I shouldn't look a gift lion in the mouth, as it were, but how did Cappy gain 28 HP between rounds?

Use Return, Detect, and Return! If he falls under 10 HP, replace the next action with Quick Attack!

Round 4...Begin!

Faraday starts by gambling everything he's got on a Thunder attack! He charges himself up, and releases a MASSIVE bolt of lightning--but what's this? It looks like he missed! He seems to have been distracted by the Smash Ball that just appeared out of nowhere! Cappy takes advantage of this slip-up, and rams into Faraday with a Return! He jumps up, grabs the Smash Ball, and unleashes his Final Smash: a Quick Attack that sends Faraday flying off the stage and out of the battle!

Buddha, you got haxxed pretty bad with that Thunder miss. Send in your next Pokemon.

Oh, and the Smash Ball bit was flavor only. I was planning on flavorizing all the finishing blows that way, but let me know if it doesn't work.

Alright, lets start off with some Fake Tears to weaken him, then use Shadow Ball twice! You're doing great!

Bulldoze once and follow up with a combination of Rollout and Take Down!

Round 5...Begin!

So out comes Buddha's Phanpy, RoboPhan! Strange, he doesn't look like a robot to me...

Anyway, on with the show! RoboPhan, having the speed advantage, starts it off with a Bulldoze attack! That's a decent hit, and is looks like it's slowed Cappy down to a crawl! Cappy tries to muster some Fake Tears to soften the "robot" up, but hax chimes in at the wrong time! Cappy is fully paralyzed and can't move!

Phanpy shows no remorse whatsoever, and charges Cappy with an ingenious combo of Rollout and Take Down! It deals a little recoil damage to RoboPhan, but even more damage to the Eevee! I don't know how Cappy managed to survive that hit! He furiously attempts a Shadow Ball attack! It hits, but it's not too effective!

That combo just now seems to have taken a lot out of RoboPhan, who has to rest for an action. Cappy has no such limitation, firing another Shadow Ball at the little elephant! It chips away some more of Phan's health, but Cappy seems extremely tired! One more decent hit could finish him!

As the combatants stare each other down across the platform, another Smash Ball appears and hovers forebodingly over Phanpy's head! What can this mean? Stick around to find out what happens next!

[Black Buddha]

Lets end this bout

Ice Shard three times! If he isnt dead by the end of the second Ice Shard, try a Take Down!

 

[The Shiny Umbreon]

Use Quick Attack, then... chill, then Detect. Odds are you won't make it through the turn, but good job turning the battle in our favor!

 

[The Shiny Umbreon]

It's been almost two months since this battle started, and we've had over a month of inaction. At this point, I think I'm just going to forfeit and take a loss, rather than wait for a subref and to finish the match. GG Black Buddha. I'm not sure who'd be responsible for assigning counters, but I hope you get them.
