In the red corner, a man who definitely has his feet in the ground but is still a bit new, Mowtom!

Sluggy Slug the Shellos

Shellos [Sluggy Slug] (F)

Like Mowtom himself, Sluggy Slug comes from Sinnoh, but from the opposite side of Mount Coronet. She prefers to stay relaxed and cheerful, even when taking repeated hits, but cannot stand it when someone mistakes her for a West Sea Shellos. Apparently the two groups have a long-seated rivalry. Who knew?

Types: Water

• Water STAB; Ignores arena restrictions on Water attacks that require an external water source. Evasive Diving reduced from 6 per action Energy Cost to 5 per action.

Abilities:
Sticky Hold / Storm Drain / Sand Force (Unlocked)

• This Pokemon's body is covered in a sticky substance that prevents item theft or swapping.
• This Pokemon lures all water attacks to itself, altering their course away from partner Pokemon. It absorbs the water and increases its Special Attack by one (1) stage. A boost gained this way by an opponent's attack will be maintained at the end of each round.
• This Pokemon thrives in Sandstorm conditions, using the power of the swirling sand to augment its Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-typed attacks. Each of this Pokemon's Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-typed attacks will have the Base Attack Power increased by two (2). Pokemon with this ability are immune to Sandstorm damage.

Looking at pure type match-up, it looks like Mowtom has a bit of an advantage, but anything can happen! Let's start the battle, folks!

namemaker sends out first
Mowtom sends out second and orders first
namemaker orders second
I ref!

 

[namemaker]

"Ok, Melvin, at least he dose not have a double type advantage like last time!"

"But this time his defenses are considerably higher Sir"

"First, we talked about the whole sir thing. Do it again and I will get a Drowzee, then make it stop you calling me sir. Second, we got this! Don't worry!"

"Ok Sir! What do you want me to do?"

"Sit tight and wait, he is ordering first. And, Melvin, last chance!"

"What did I do Sir?! I am sitting tight and waiting like you said to sir!"

 

[Mowtom]

"Sluggy Slug, let's do this. Take an Amulet Coin and try for a burn."

"I think I can do that."

Scald~Scald~Scald
IF the foe is burned THEN replace all future instances of Scald with Surf
IF nonconsecutive P/E THEN Rain Dance the first time and Substitute (15) the second

 

[namemaker]

"Ok, Melvin, what are the odds of a burn?"

"About 90% Sir!"

"Why do I even bother?" Ok, let us do this!"
Melvin:
Thunder Punch~Drain Punch~Protect

 

[waterwarrior]

namemaker, I can't really get mad at you because you're new, but with a 2 day DQ time, pushing the ref after 24 hours is quite annoying, even though it is true that I could've reffed it earlier :/

Sluggy Slug's paralysis fell to 5%!

Here we are back in the ASB Arena, folks! Both trainers look ready for battle, albeit Mowtom looks a lot more confident, but namemaker can still pull this off! Let's begin!

Melvin starts it off with a spark as he delivers a mighty Thunder Punch boosted by his Iron Fist ability that sends Sluggy Slug rearing back in pain! Even worse for Mowtom, Sluggy Slug seems to have trouble moving! She's paralyzed! However, she is able to move just enough to send a wave of Scalding water that blasts Melvin dead-on, and Melvin is left clutching his burned arm in pain! It looks like both players got lucky with status, but in my opinion, namemaker got the short stick! Tough luck indeed!

Even though the burn is slowly sapping his health, Melvin is undeterred, and charges straight up to Sluggy Slug with a Drain Punch, dealing a moderate amount of damage while healing off the damage from the burn and more! In retaliation, Sluggy Slug stirs up a gigantic wave from the small pool and drenches Melvin in the Surf, dealing a large amount of damage, and the burn isn't helping at all!

Finally, Melvin erects a Protective barrier to shield himself from the Shellos' next attack, but just as Sluggy Slug was about to move, she stopped! It looks like she's fully paralyzed! As the first round ends, Mowtom has a very noticeable advantage, but a comeback from namemaker is always possible! Stranger things happen everyday in ASB!

Yeah, ordering Protect while going first isn't exactly the best idea...

IF P/E THEN chill and push back, but not twice in a row

 

[namemaker]

Sorry i took so long, was visting my great-great-aunt, she has no internet connection.

 

[namemaker]

Melvin:
Drain Punch~Drain Punch+Thunder Punch combo~cooldown

 

[waterwarrior]

namemaker , turns out I messed up a while back. I accidentally calced the Drain Punch used in the first round as if Golett was a Fighting-type, which leads to it having 1 less HP/EN and Shellos having 3 more HP. I highly doubt this changes your orders, but you have a right to re-order if you want to (Mowtom was told this already on IRC and didn't change his actions)

 

[namemaker]

Am fine with my current orders

 

[waterwarrior]

Thought so, but better safe than sorry
Also, sorry namemaker, but combos have negative priority most of the time: Drain Punch + Thunder Punch, a combo of two moves with 0 priority, actually puts the combo at -2 priority.

Melvin fainted!

In a last desperate push, Melvin fires off a Drain Punch that restores just enough HP to survive both Sluggy Slug's vicious Surf and the damage from burn! Melvin begins to charge a combo, but before it could do so, Sluggy Slug is able to beat him to the punch with another mighty Surf! As the wave clears up, everyone can see that Melvin is no longer able to batle! Mowtom is the winner!
