Rules
Pokemon: 3v3
Format: Singles
DQ: Strict 72h Disqualification. One warning per player. After the warning is used (any tag after DQ interval is passed will be counted as warning), the Player has one hour to post (with full orders/pokemon, just saying "orders coming watch this space" doesn't suffice) after DQ is called to rescind it. If one hour passes, the player is DQ'd regardless of the ref posting or not. User calling DQ must tag DQ'd player. Referees please tag the combatants when you have finished your reffing. Players, if you know you're going to be away you better post a Leave of Absence BEFORE you leave, or give a very good reason in case of an emergency.

Arena
The ASB Tournament Arena

Hide

Field Type: Neutral
Complexity: Simple
Format: All

Restrictions: No Restrictions

Description: Surrounded by thousands of screaming Pokémon fans, the ASB Arena can be best described as a standard Pokémon battling arena. In the centre of the arena lies a dirt-based floor outlined to show two separate sides (with a white Poké Ball centre). Surrounding the dirt is a moat filled with water. The moat is about 4.5m wide & creates a perimeter around the dirt arena. The arena itself is 24m wide, 33m long. All moves, weathers, and abilities are legal for the match, since it is an outdoor arena with a large water source & packed dirt. Pokémon must stay in the arena (or the dimensions of the arena in the case of Flying-type Pokémon, who cannot leave the arena & cannot fly higher than 18m). This prevents Pokémon from injuring the crowd watching the tournament. There are no outside interruptions by fans, Pokémon, or other elements not associated with the current battle.

I'll keep this one short and sweet given the time we are starting it. zarator's team looks almost ready made to wall Timburr but aside from that match ups are largely neutral. Cupra's Illusion will be crucial here as will Cranidos' raw power. To begin, we will flip the Pichu

[Someoneelse]

After hours of walking, running, and levitating, Mark finally reaches the ASB Tournament arena.

"Finally, we're here. A tough opponent. I don't think I have too much of a choice here. Go, Slowking!"
*awkward silence*
"...What do you mean Slowking isn't allowed? Slowking?"

*Staryu appears from its Poke Ball and spins menacingly*
"...Right. These are rentals."

Sending out Slowking? the Staryu @ Water Stone.

 

[zarator]

Someoneelse: question - what type does Camouflage turn Staryu into?

 

[Someoneelse]

Since it is a variation on the ASB Arena, I presume it would become Normal-type.

In an astounding turn of events here in the LCT, an entire round passes without either mon losing an item. Instead Someoneelse plays around zarator's Hyper Offensive opening strategy with mostly success. Combinations of Analytic, Water Stone and STAB allow Staryu to deal decent damage while Diving under Solar Beams despite Togepi's bulk and its own poor physical offences. Although tactically allowing one of the beams to hit doesn't quite pay off when Scald fails to burn. Nevertheless Staryu has managed to win both the energy and HP races for this round as Someoneelse looks to capitalise on momentum going into round 2.

Luck is not on zarator's side. Or maybe its that old tournament curse. Either way the round ends with one dead Togepi. This isn't before zarator tries to utilise a trick I've seen a Togekiss or seven try before in using Thunder Wave to not only remove Staryu's chance of diving around but also look for some added hax. Unfortunately this round's hax is going squarely against the Togepi. Not only does Staryu fail to get fully paralyzed once the Scald Someoneelse has it open the round with leaves a painful burn on Togepi which aids in doing exactly enough damage to bring it down before a second Solarbeam can land. Someoneelse now finds himself with a solid advantage and plenty of options while zarator is squarely on the back foot.

In a rather straighforward round Staryu is able to get more solid damage in before eventually going down to an electrical assault from Koffing. I think its job was done in KOing the dangerous Togepi then taking away more than half of Koffing's HP however. It will certainly be an uphill climb for zarator, especially having to order first with a Koffing in KO range.

zarator's streak of less than ideal tournament first rounds looks to continue as Someoneelse has now built a solid lead. Granted Cranidos is pretty amazing and I'm shocked more people don't have one. The signs don't look much better with a poor little Cupra waiting in the wings either.
