Eager and ready, Rediamond stands, studying his opponent. Here, challenging a gym for the first time we have Rcok-type gym co-leader Leethoof! This is sure to make for an interesting match with an apparent type disadvantage, let's see what happens! But first, the rules!

Tualang City is a frontier town on the edge of a gigantic rainforest in a newly discovered region. While the town is far from the largest in the colony, it is the home of many explorers not currently on an expedition. This has led to it becoming a hub for science, as many of the plants, animals, and Pokemon in the forest have the potential to create powerful medicines. One such institution of science is the Verde Insect Research Center. Also known as the Tualang City Gym.

As you walk into the gym, you are quickly confronted by a large main hall that stretches up seven stories, with an enormous tree dominating the center of the room. A large number of exhibits line the walls and kiosks of the room, and it becomes evident that the building also serves as a museum on bug type Pokemon and the rainforest ecosystem as a whole. You wander almost to the back of the room before finally finding a desk marked "Tualang Gym Registration." Walking up to it, you find that there is no secretary, but rather a sign pointing to a door about ten feet behind it reading:

"Off tending the Pokemon, please come see me if you wish to talk.

-Gregor."


Seeing nothing better to do, you walk inside the door. A fantastic view awaits you upon entry.

This room is easily larger than the main hall, and is filled with terrain closely resembling the forest outside. Ivy-coated walls stretch up a full thirty feet to a massive spider web that appears to serve as the roof of the exhibit. From the humidity and heat of the room, you assume that it's a massive greenhouse, even if this isn't really necessary given that the city is in a rainforest climate.

A narrow trail cuts further on into the gym, leading through a dense forest of tropical foilage and exotic sounds. The dirt under your feet is quite moist, but what disturbs you most is a constant rushling in the plants around you. Whenever you stop, you can never hear anything, but it always seem to begin a little closer when you start moving.

After a very creepy hike, you eventually do see another human being on the trail. The man is wearing a green lab coat, and staring intently through a pair of binoculars at something in front of him. Wondering what he's doing, you take a step forwards and follow his gaze.

Yanmega fly over a pond about fifty meters away, and Surskit and Anorith swim on or near the surface. An Armaldo basks in the moisture and light at the edge of the water, while a Scyther drinks from the far end, eyeing every other creature in the area. You can vaguely make out an Ariados in the treeline, with Butterfree flying between the trees- out of reach of the Yanmega.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" You turn around to find the scientist standing up, looking at you. "I'm Gregor, the league's Bug Gym leader. Are you here seeking a challenge." You nod yes, and Gregor pulls out his notebook and glances over it. "Alright, I can pencil you in for a battle at 3:00. We have a demonstration then, and I like giving the guests something to look at beyond the usual show. Does this work for you."

You affirm it does, and he begins to walk back down the trail. Not particularly willing to be left behind with the Pokemon in the forest, you quickly run to meet him and walk out of the room in silence. Just as he you are about to reenter the main hall, you realize that you forgot to ask something important. "So, just where are we fighting at?"

The gym leader smiles sinisterly, and points out over your head. You follow his gaze, and see the web on top of the room.

Bug Gym Arena:

A large, tightly woven web stretches across the floor of the arena, while another one is spun about 8 feet above it. The webs are held together by a concrete structure, with windows surrounding the entire arena to allow visitors a chance to see the battle. While the arena is set up in such a way as to allow as many moves as possible, there are still some practical restrictions.

-3 vs 3 singles
-All moves not specified as banned are allowed in the arena
-Rock Slide cannot be used
-No natural water
-Due to the webbing above and below the arena, all Pokemon not of the bug or ground types will have the priority of all stages of bounce, fly, and dig reduced by 0.5
-In addition to their normal item, all Pokemon may carry a type resist berry. Due to the fireproof and sticky nature of the webbing, the berry cannot be swapped or destroyed by Trick, Switcheroo, Knock Off, or thief. Even if the player does not have a resist berry, they can draw one of any type from the arena
-RP actions are not only allowed but encouraged for the purposes of the demonstration

And so! The turn order is as follows:

-Leethoof sends out his first Pokemon
-Rediamond sends out his pokemon and orders
-Leethoof orders
-I ref

Good luck to you all, and to all a good night!
 

"Ho ho! This will be tougher than expected! Give it your best, team!"


Ragequit @ Expert Belt, Chople Berry

 


"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first PM demonstration at the Tualang City Gym. My name is Gregor, League Bug Leader, and I will be narrating the demonstration segments of this battle. Coming out first today in his debut in the arena is a male Hieradula scizor. Scior are known for being incredibly durable and capable of taking almost any attack. However, they dislike the heat and tend to stay in cooler climates. There are rumors of a large swarm near the ninja clan at the Lake of Rage, similar to the Scyther swarm in the Kanto Safari Zone. Today, you will be witnessing some of their technical attacks."

Scizor @Brightpowder (XD) + Occa Berry

Iron Head~Metal Claw~Iron Head
IF Fire Punch, Counter and push actions back
IF Dragon Tail AND you do not have a substitute up, substitute (15) and push actions back
IF Protect, use Agility (Boosting) and push actions back
 

"Keep your eye on him, Ragequit! He's bright red, you can't miss that!"

Stealth Rock -> Pain Split -> Fire Blast
If you flinch A1, then use Stealth Rock A3.

Ready to battle, the combatants send out their first Pokemon! Leethoof leads off with his trusty Rampardos to which the Gym Leader responds with a Scizor! Both battlers give actions and the fight begins!

Scizor used Iron Head! (-5 EN)
no flinch (72)
no crit (16)
(8+3+5.5)*1.5=24.75

Rampardos used Stealth Rock! (-11 EN)
Rampardos littered the arena with pointy rocks!

Scizor used Metal Claw! (-3 EN)
hit (17)
no effect (75)
no crit (12)
(5*1.5+3+5.5)*1.5=24

Rampardos used Pain Split (WTF?)! (-21 EN)
Rampardos and Scizor have 75.625 HP

Scizor used Iron Head! (-5 EN)
no flinch (22)
no crit (1)
(8+3+3+5.5)*1.5=29.25

Rampardos used Fire Blast! (-8 EN)
hit (67)
no burn (87)
no crit (12)
(12+2+1.5)*1.5(Occa)=23.25


And the Pokemon get to work, as Scizor lunges forward, striking Rampardos with its Iron Head. Rampardos ignore the sudden offense and takes a moment to shake some debris loose from the collar around its neck, littering Rediamond's side of the field with some sharp pointy rocks. that will surely inhibit Rediamond's Pokemon from switching around! Scizor then continues its offense, using its innate technical ability to boost the strength of its Metal Claw which gouges some of Rampardos' coat away. Rampardos then focuses its mental energies on Scizor (WTF?) and forces it to understand the devastating effects of its attacks, Splitting its Pain with Scizor. Oblivious to all of this, Scizor continues its attacks, striking Rampardos with its Iron Head once more, finally enraging the rocky beast who responds with a powerful roar and a devastating Blast of Fire erupts from its maw, scorching Scizor, though its Occa berry seems to have absorbed some of the attack.

At the end of the first rounf the battlefield appears even, as Rediamond's Scizor come out slightly ahead of Rampardos in health, albeit at the cost of Stealth Rocks on its side of the field.

"I knew you could do it, Ragequit! However, now it is Siege's time to shine!"

Siege @ Focus Sash, Chople Berry
 

"As expected. Be wary of this bug's trickery, Siege!"

Fire Punch -> Rock Blast -> Fire Punch
If Counter, then use Tail Whip.
If Bide, then begin the string Tail Whip -> Tail Whip -> Fire Punch.
If he has Double Team clones up, then use Earthquake.
 


"Scizor are generally not known for their trickery. Rather, they are known for executing straties quickly and percisely. Oftentimes, they can play around much larger foes, dodging blows and landing a series of weak hits until the opponent eventually subcombs."

Leethoof switches in Rhyperior, Rediamond stays the course.

Scizor used Rain Dance! (-10 EN)
Shit got fucking wet

Rhyperior used Fire Punch! (-6 EN)
Occa Berry!
hit (4)
no burn (44)
no crit (3)
(8-3+1.5)*1.5=9.75

Scizor used Iron Head! (-5 EN)
no flinch (82)
no crit (15)
(8-2+1+3)*1.5=15

Rhyperior used Rock Blast! (-6 EN)
hit (5)
3 hits (5/8)
no crits (11, 3, 8)
9+3+1.5=13.5

Scizor used Iron Head! (-9 EN)
no flinch (76)
no crit (14)
(8-2+1+3)*1.5=15

Rhyperior used Fire Punch! (-6 EN)
hit (59)
Occa Berry!
no burn (35)
no crit (16)
(8-3+1.5)*1.5=9.75


Scizor sets up rain which greatly inhibits Rhyperior's attacks, as the Occa berries absorb much of the power of his Fire Punches. Respectable damage is done by both sides, however, between Iron heads and a Rock Blast, and Scizor is now left low on health.

Rhyperior should have 6 more HP due to Focus Sash+Solid Rock


"Hieradula scizor are known for being exceptionally hard to take down. Even foes who can overpower them may find it hard to actually land the final blow."

Endure~Iron Head~Iron Head
IF Dragon Tail, use Acrobatics to leap up to the web on top of the arena and hold on. Despite its impressive size, Rhyperior's nature, speed, and weight will almost certainly keep in grounded and prevent it from striking with the slow phazing move. Push actions back.
IF Roar, use Metal Claw to make claws sharper and more metallic, then bang against each other near the ears to distract from the roar and block out the noise. Push actions back
IF Double Team clones are up when you would use Iron Head, use Aerial Ace and push actions back



EDIT: OK, apparently I made this Switch=KO for some reason. That is completely abnormal, and I have no idea why I would have done that. It should be evident I intended for OK from allowing Leethoof to switch (and vs Glacier). To save a lot of headaches, can we keep this Switch=OK?
 

"Siege can be incredibly noisy sometimes. I would know, try sleeping near him! Show this little bug what loud means; get right up close and ROAR!"
Double Team (1 Clone ) -> Drill Run + Roar Combination -> Cooldown (Rock Blast)

8+1/1.5=6

Roar rill 1-5=1
Armaldo was sent out!



Knowing its on its last legs, Scizor starts this round by focusing its energies inwards, preparing to Endure anything. Rhyperior takes a moment to create a clone of itself, two Rhyperior now lumbering in front of Scizor. Anticipating an incoming auditory attack that would disrupt its focus, Scizor sharpens its Metal Claws and bangs them together to block out any other sound. However, they were nowhere near loud enough to drown out the Drill Running Roar coming from Rhyperior, who crashes into Scizor and Roar's in its face such as to force it to switch out at the end of the round. Rhyperior then cools down, as Scizor Aerial Aces Rhyperior's clone for modest damage.

As Rhyperior forces Scizor back to its Pokeball, we see that Armaldo has been summoned to take its place. As Rediamond prepares to give Armaldo an item, how will teh Gym Leader react to this turn of events? Stay tuned!

"Sorry for the unexpected change of plans, but it appears as if Scizor's held item is performing exceptionally far below where it statistically should be. Next up in the demonstration is Nomen armaldo. Armaldo are an ancient species revived from a claw fossil. The greenhouse in the Tualang City gym is currently conducting research into the possibility of introducing them into existing ecosystems."

Armaldo @ Charti Berry + Razor Claw

To save you a google search, Charti berry is a rock resist.
 

"Siege! Squash it!"
Rock Tomb ~ Rock Blast ~ Rock Slide
If Aqua Tail, then use Counter.
If he is in the underground portion of Dig, then use Earthquake.
If Protect, then use Chill.
 

"Nomen armaldo were a primarily aquatic species. They recognized that the water had many possible benefits for it, and use them to its advantage. Here is one technique it learned from the oceans."

Substitute (15)~Aqua Tail+Aqua Tail~Cooldown (Rapid Spin)

For once, I'm not the one to forget about Rock Slide... and yes, I'm abusing the lack of a push actions back too

-Armaldo fucking destroys Rhyperior with a Aqua Tail combo using its Sub as a meatshield against the following Counter
-Rhyperior gets a free Rock Slide

"Nomen armaldo are well known for being offensively brutal. There is little that can stand between them and their target."

Aqua Tail~Earthquake~Aqua Tail
IF Counter use Chill and push actions back
IF Endure, use Toxic and push actions back
IF switch-forcing move, alternate Protect and Aqua Tail+Aqua Tail upon consecutive uses.
 

"Stand strong, Siege. He'll exhaust himself without your help, flapping his tail around in the rain like that."

Chill -> Dragon Tail -> Roar

[
HIDE=Relevant in case his Ultra Aqua Tail misses]<Deck_Knight> If a mon is forced out by Roar after an A3 combo, it still has to Cooldown when it comes back in. The mon is still randomized if a Pokemon is Roared before it is KO'd.

His first Aqua Tail should have cost 19 EN, since his last move used was an Aqua Tail combo. This means Armaldo is also KOed. I'm not sure if he should send out first or me, though?
 

"Excellent work, Siege. I'm sorry I was forced to use you so recklessly. Now it looks like Ragequit must return to the field!"

Sheer Force Activated >:(

If Protective/Evasive, use Rock Polish and push actions down.
If Double Team clones are up, use Earthquake and push actions down.
If he is underground, use Earthquake and push actions down.
