[PSYCHIC] Gerard faces off against the Buster Bond

sprite_n3n_by_ikermon-d31tqkn.png
....................You've been an amazing force in this battle Katherine, but now I have to let you go, as you've earned yourself a rest, I could ask no more from you dear. Simone, this is all on you now. Just make sure you survive this round and we'll be able to eliminate one very dangerous opponent next. Let's show dummy how you can beat that moth without even starting to melt.​

Sorry, my lab sessions these days took up too much of my IRL time. Also Gerard your Jynx is named Simon not Yue, just saying.

EDIT: Fixed Jynx's Fire Blast damage, and post-round HP. No idea where the 4 in your calcs come in, though, Gerard.

Seeing that Katherine is soon to be in danger, Simone put on the burst of speed, and managed to scare off Harry before the latter could unleash a firestorm at her teammate. No such luck for Severus the Gengar though, for the not-so-cordial relationship between Harrys and Severuses might've been the factor as to why the Volcarona didn't emulate the Jynx. Drawn to Harry's attention, Simon is then scorched with widespread fire Waves and starburst Blasts, leaving Katherine with a brief respite while Simon Bides for time. The Gardevoir already has a death wish, so it seems, first by Tricking the perceptions of space and time, and then Bonding her final Destiny with Harry's, but the latter luckily reduced the power of his attack so that he would not suffer the consequences.

....................I am relly sorry dummy, I was pretty sure I had already ordered in here, but since that's obviously not the case then we should try to make amends. Katherine, you've clearly done an amazing job in this match, and so you deserve a break. Switching Gallade in place of Gardevoir! Wilde, it's time for you to show the power that you're so renowned for. This time though a Life Orb will be the best choice for an item. Your Job is to make sure all the suffering Jynx just went throgh was for something, she has managed to endure the round and now it's up to you to finish this battle, this has been a really good challenge but I think we might finally see the end of it.

PS: Jynx should be at 11 Hp [(12 + 7.5 + 6 + 6 + 4) x 1.5 = 51.75] & Bide should be doing 90.5625 dmg
475.png
124.png
Life Orb & Rare Candy
Gallade: Rock Slide - Poison Jab (Ron) - Poison Jab (Ron)
* If Harry is under the effect of Protect A1 then use Feint (Harry)
* If Ron targets you with Taunt then use Magic Coat (once) & push actions
* If Harry uses Endure A1 & You're Not Taunted then use Encore (Harry)


Simone: Bide (Release) - Ice Beam (Ron) - Blizzard
* If Harry is under the effect of Endure A2 & Gallade didn't use Encore & Safeguard is not up then change your remaining actions to Lovely Kiss (Harry) - Nightmare (Harry)
* If Harry uses a Fairy Type Damaging Combo A2 or A3 & You're Not Taunted & then use Light Screen A2 and push actions
* If Harry uses a Recovery move & You're Not Taunted & then use Taunt (Harry) and push actions
 
It's down to the wire...Harry won't be in good shape after this round, and Ron is nearly done for as it is...but still, we must press on...FOR GLORY!

Harry! Ron! This round is going to take a lot out of you, but it's our only chance! Here we go!

Harry: Endure -> Rage Powder -> Heat Wave

Ron: Protect Harry -> Safeguard -> Grass Whistle Wilde

Arena: Moon Cave (Trick Room 3r)​


In a desperate ploy, Ron-Whimsicott Protects his Enduring friend like a true shield-mate, though it is too late to defend against Simon-Jynx's Bide attack within the altered dimensions. Wilde-Gallade tries to Encore Harry-Volcarona into a now useless move, but it seems Ron-Whimsicott chooses to grab the spotlight instead, mocking Wilde for his attempts.

Harry then released some spores, that itch the noses, except for Ron who was very very much used to them, using that opportunity to set up Safeguard while the enRaged opponents tried to batter down the Volcarona, but to no avail. Finally, a Heat Wave released from Harry's wings countered Simone's Blizzard within the caves, scoring a well-deserved KO - the first for Dummy's team. Wilde-Gallade fortunately escaped the attack without much harm, being put to sleep by Ron's crafty Grass Whistle. Will Dummy go on to emphasize that even in his last stand, his is not a team to be taken lightly? Or will Wilde-Gallade capitalize on the previous mistakes made, and proceed to bull through the defense of the badge?

So this is it, then. The final stand. And, as it has been doing for several turns now, Trick Room ruins me. Very good game, Gerard, and I look forward to playing you again on a...more neutral arena.

Go down fighting, you two. You've done great.

....................An awesome battle Dummy, you've come the closest anyone has ever gotten to this badge, effectively beating 3 of my best pokemon and making me nervous more than a few times. But everything's good has to come to and end eventually, and this battles has reached its own. Whimisicott can praise itself for being a pain to deal with. Annoying to the end. Great battle dummy, the best I've had in here.

Tryin to draw everybody's attention, thus allowing Ron to score another KO for the team, Harry spread Rage Powder over the cave. Some of it sparked when it struck Charla's Swift attack on the cavern walls. Yue, on the other hand, though, had an idea when she saw them. Helped by Wilde, she sends out a powerful Heat Wave that instantly combusted the spores, pushing them back towards Dummy's team in a swift wall of flames. When the dust settles, it seems Ron and Harry were both knocked out, and Dummy failed to contend for the Psychic badge! Hoping his next run will be a closer success, DUmmy shook hands with gerard, and they walked out...

"Tch, I can't just cut them!"
153.png

"Hey Charla, look! The rocks seemed slightly molten, even though the heat barely reached here."

<"Hmm... try gouging some out with Scald?">

A few moments later, Charla's attempt was met with success - it turns out the vein is surrounded by calcified clay, which yielded very easily to heat and moisture.

<"This might be a good finding. But again, we'll need to send it to someone to find out.">

"One thing's for sure though, we can always come back!"

And so we leave, feeling accomplished in spite of our loss. The last official battle ever to be played in the Moon Cave, and we nearly won. Also, some sweet counters. What's not to feel good about?

Very, very gg, Gerard! This was a match that flexed my creativity like no other before and was certainly one for the record books. I look forward to facing you again in your new arena. Also, many thanks to ZhengTann for reffing!
 
Congratz Dummy, you've been my closest contender to ate, and I really enjoyed our battle, you had me sweating many times there. I really hope we can battle again, feel free to challenge me anytime as I'll be awaiting this rematch.
