Field Type: Normal

Format: Singles

Upon your match's acceptance, you receive directions to the new ASB League Normal Gym via e-mail. As it would happen, this gym resides in a small, recently constructed live theatre built in Slateport City. One way or another, you make your way to this bustling city. Crowds of people line up in the city to see the contests, the Oceanic Museum, and what seems to be a relatively new attraction: The Four Seasons Theatre. Atop it you see statues of Deerling and Castform, surrounded on the four corners by symbols representing the seasons.

You make your way through the line and into the building, thinking it is likely the Normal Gym you were told about. Inside lies a clean and stylish lobby, where people line up to get tickets for the upcoming shows, which seem to include fare typical to a live theatre. Just as you are convinced you have gotten the wrong address, a man in a red beret approaches you. "Ah, you must be the new gym challenger." he says to you. "Please, head right this way, the show's about to start."

The man leads you inside the back of the theatre where many preparations are being made for an upcoming show. Actors and actresses are putting on makeup, stagehands are hard at work preparing the stage, and the overall result is that of a huge hustle and bustle. The two of you approach another, considerably younger, gentleman wearing a fedora. He greets you and says "Oh, you here for the match? The Leader's thataway!" He points towards a door, and as if on cue, the door opens and a man comes out the door, having on an outfit of grey and orange.

He clears his throat and says "Why hello there new challenger! Are you ready for the fight to begin? No not right now, we've still got a few minutes before the curtains open. I am Maxim, the ASB Normal Gym leader, and I welcome you to my abode."

"Before we begin, let me lay down some ground rules. First off, the rules of the theatre prohibit any moves or abilities that would disable or mess with the routine operation of any held item. These items are essential to the actors' costumes, and removing them can cause problems for the show. Second, this also applies to abilities, save for Trace. We believe in making sure the Pokemons' natural abilities shine through, and messing with those can cause discomfort to these actors. Finally, if either of us decide to phase out the opposition, the opposition, not random chance, gets to decide what comes out next. This is to prevent any wild entrances from confusing the audience."

Soon after that info dump, a female voice calls out "Hey, we ready to start yet? It's almost time for the show to begin."

Maxim chuckles, then says "Well you heard the lady, it is almost time for our performance. Have fun, and do your very best in this matchup. After all, my Pokemon may be Normal typed, but they are anything but normal!"

After this, the curtains open, and before you know it, the battle has begun!

Summary:
  • All Items must be kept as Normal in the Normal gym. This means that items cannot be swapped, stolen, knocked off, restrained, destroyed, or rendered unable to be used in any way. Consumable Items will still be consumed after the normal number of uses. Fling still works as normal.
  • All Abilities must be kept as Normal in the Normal gym. This means that abilities cannot be swapped, copied, disabled, or rendered unable to be used at any time. The sole exception to this is Trace, which works as normal because it is a natural part of the ability itself.
  • If a Pokemon is forced out by a Switch-Forcing Move or a Red Card, that Pokemon's trainer can choose which Pokemon goes in next.
Codifications:

  • Camouflage turns the Pokemon into a Normal Type.
  • Secret Power has a 30% chance to Flinch.
  • Nature Power summons Tri Attack.

Mowtom
reuniclus.gif

Reuniclus [Bubble] (F)

Mowtom found Bubble while traveling in the Unova region. Her mother belonged to Catlin of the Elite Four, but Bubble wanted to see the world. She did inherit one thing from her mother's trainer, however. Bubble enjoys battling, but she can have trouble staying awake, even during a battle.

Type: Psychic
  • Psychic STAB; can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
Abilities: Overcoat / Magic Guard / Regenerator (Unlocked)
  • This Pokemon has a sturdy exterior that rebuffs the elements, making it immune to damage inflicted by bad weather. The Pokemon is also immune to "Powder" moves. (Full List: Cotton Spore, Poison Powder, Powder, Rage Powder, Sleep Powder, Spore, Stun Spore.) If the Pokemon is already immune to at least one (1) kind of weather, or powder attacks by typing or a different ability, Overcoat reduces the Base Attack Power of all oncoming attacks by one (1).
  • This Pokemon is infused with a powerful psycho-electric energy that makes it immune to damage from Spikes, Stealth Rock, Hail, Sandstorm, Leech Seed, Poisoning, Burn, and Partial Trapping moves. It can still attack itself in confusion, and will still take damage from it. Additionally, the energy protects the Pokemon from its own reckless recoil attacks. Toxic still increases in damage each round, although if Magic Guard is in effect the Pokemon will not suffer any damage. Life Orb recoil is negated.
  • When this Pokemon is switched out during a switch battle, it reacts to the energy in the Pokeball and (ten) 10 HP is restored. When this Pokemon Chills, it restores six (6) HP in addition to its 12 Energy.

delcatty.gif

Delcatty [Nepeta] (F)

One doomed Nepeta happened to be a post-entry prototyping in a sprite whose pre-entry prototyping was an albino cat. In the new universe her players created, she was set free and wandered about for many months. She eventually met Mowtom, and he couldn't believe the cuteness that was right in front of him.

Type: Normal
  • Normal STAB; +1 BAP on attacks that match dominant arena type after 3 actions. Unable to have Thrash or Outrage disrupted by oncoming damage.
Abilities: Cute Charm / Normalize / Wonder Skin (Unlocked)
  • This Pokemon's natural cuteness causes Pokemon of the opposite gender to be attracted to it 30% of the time after striking with a contact move.
  • By default, this Pokemon has mastered Normal-type attacks and can change any attack type to have a Normal energy signature. The Pokemon's Normal-type attacks will have four (4) more Base Attack Power. Its other attacks will change their typing to Normal, retain status-inducing and other properties, and not receive the Base Attack Power boost from this ability. When toggled, there is no effect.
  • The Pokemon's skin has an agent that heavily resists attempts to change its composition. It changes the accuracy of all non-damaging attacks to 50% before applying any other modifiers.

conkeldurr.gif

Conkeldurr [Sos] (M)

Sos has always loved the Battle Circle trilogy. He think the idea of fighting with honor in a circle to the surrender is the epitome of life. When Mowtom found him, he sent George in to fight. The result? Sos is unquestionably loyal to the other Fighting-type. He would even disobey Mowtom if George told him to.

Type: Fighting
  • Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions on Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Sky Drop, Storm Throw, Submission, and Vital Throw.
Abilities: Guts / Sheer Force / Iron Fist (Unlocked)
  • This Pokemon is tenacious and will work ever harder when under a status condition, raising the Base Attack Power of all its physical attacks by two (2). Pokemon with Guts ignore the attack drop from burn.
  • At default this Pokemon can energize all its attacks with a secondary effect (These are damaging moves that either lower the target's stats, raise the user's stats, or inflict a status condition on the target). The Base Attack Power of every move with a secondary effect increases by two (2), but they will never have their usual secondary effect. When toggled, no effect.
  • The Base Attack Power of this Pokemon's "Punch" attacks is increased by two (2). (Known attacks affected: Bullet Punch, Comet Punch, Dizzy Punch, Drain Punch, Dynamic Punch, Fire Punch, Focus Punch, Hammer Arm, Ice Punch, Mach Punch, Mega Punch, Meteor Mash, Shadow Punch, Sky Uppercut, Thunder Punch, Power-Up Punch)

Revenankh [Mummy] (M)

Mummy comes from Egypt. He only speaks Egyptian. Though he seemed very happy to travel with Mowtom, nobody ever has any idea what he's trying to say. Not even those with psychic or near-psychic powers.

Type: Ghost / Fighting
  • Ghost STAB; immune to the effects of full trapping moves and the Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, and Shadow Tag abilities. Ghost types can switch out while affected by a partial trapping move, but they will be damaged every action by their effect.
  • Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions on Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Sky Drop, Storm Throw, Submission, and Vital Throw.
Abilities: Shed Skin / Air Lock / Infiltrator (Unlocked)
  • This Pokemon regularly sheds its skin and any impurities contained in its body. If afflicted with a status condition, this Pokemon has a 33% chance of removing all status conditions at the end of a round.
  • This Pokemon releases immense barometric pressure, clearing the weather in the arena and preventing the effect of weather moves and abilities from taking place.
  • Through a combination of speed and cunning, this Pokemon easily circumvents the effects of Light Screen, Mist, Reflect, Safeguard, and Substitute with all of its attacks.

Not an awful lot to say here. Maxim is a leader who has found himself on the wrong end of the ledger lately (I'd have no idea what that feels like..) and looks to rebound against Mowtom, whom himself is looking to capitalise on momentum and continue the climb up the gym ladder. Delcatty looks like an interesting choice in that regard however. Many calculactions have been done over recoilless Normalize Double Edge, but I've yet to actually see it in action. Might even have been a time to hand that Mega Stone to Lopunny, but I won't speculate or lament any further. Lets just get down to it.

Leader sends out on heads, challenger has tails.

Reffing this round reminds me why I bring Conkeldurr to almost every gym I challenge. Thanks in no small part to a silly loophole that allows 6 subs to act as 1, SoS is able to deal very big damage to Kecleon in just two actions while poor Leon is able to do very little in return, even while ordering second. Those Stealth Rocks are going to help in the long term but in the short term Maxim needs to find an answer to this physical behemoth. Which might not be too likely given everything he brought takes a rather large hit from it

Mowtom seems a little too occipied by those Stealth Rocks if you ask me. With two mons resisting them and one immune they aren't as big a deal in this match as they could be. Then again it makes pretty decent sense to leave Conk in regardless of rocks given he didn't bring much of a better Wigglytuff match up. Wiggly continues to look like a very solid player here in Normal Gym as its able to hit well on both sides of the specturm, thanks in no small part to the newly boosted Moon Stone. Conkeldurr takes somewhat of a combined offensive and defensive route, pretty much shaving off one actions worth of damage but only really dealing 2 acions worth itself. Of course the middle of the round was rather spectacular with a powerful poisoned punch prompting Serna to absolutely obliterate an already almost cactus substitute. That Counter would have been a thing of beauty had it hit. To top it all off Maxim's Wigglytuff shows Elevator Music's how things are done by triggering Cute Charm at pretty much the ideal time. Mowtom now has more than a little inscentive to switch as Maxim looks to seieze momentum.

Okay so apparently Moon Stone Delcatty is a thing after all. Especially when that first Double-Edge was a crit to boot. Oh and you know, because there's not a single Normal type that resists Normal itself. Maybe Sun/Moon will bring a Normal/Ghost for Maxim to play with. But in the mean time Serena is left in as possibly one of the least equipped to deal with the cat, as evidences by the questionable tactics Maxim employs to try and do anything with the round. A first up Focus Blast misses entirely and he looks to follow that stroke of great fortune by Singing at a Wonder Skinner. I suppose Wonder Skin only makes the accuracy of Sing slightly worse but that's probably more justification for why you shouldn't be using it in the first place. Nevertheless the song finds its mark and Wigglytuff is able to avoid one hit and even get to hit back with a nice little Wake-Up Slap. A move which by the way, has a ridiculous energy cost given its lack of usefulness. But I digress, Maxim was able to escape the round with his Wigglytuff remaining at a useful level of HP while steal dealing OK damage back thanks mostly to those Stealth Rocks. I can't help but sit here and thing someone like a Mega Kangaskhan might enjoy Power-Up Punching a Delcatty though (because the round didn't make me type enough hyphenated moves already...)

Maxim starts to claw his way back into things this round, and no surprise it's thanks entirely to Mega Kangaskhan. That thing is seriously good. He's even able to take advantage of Conkeldurr's Life Orb, and lack of good STAB moves to abuse Life Orb and score the first KO of the match! Conkeldurr is a very dangerous customer in this gym, as evidenced by how much damage it did to Kanga in even that one blow, so it was very important for Maxim to neutralise it. To top it all off he now gets to sit pretty with not only Stealth Rocks, but a +2 Atk Mega Khan who holds a pretty decent match up over whatever happens to come in next.

Even though Kangaskhan was unfortunately trapped against a Black Belt weilding Fighting type by Maxim's own turn order, one really has to think the Leader should have worked a little harder to save what was clearly his most important Pokemon. I mean, Maya might have gotten plenty of damage in on Revenankh but it surely can't be worth this cost. Maxim's fourth mon is going to have a lot of work to do now. Also how good is Drain Punch?
