Mind vs. Muddy Matter: Leader Its_A_Random vs. Challenger Gerard

Status
Not open for further replies.
This is the fifth time I've come to ref here, and here comes yet another tough challenger. Gerard, a frivolous but respected member of the CAP ASB community has decided to try his luck with the Ground gym. Let's get started, with the rules and arena description:

4v4 Doubles (IAR brings 6, chooses 4)
3 Day Player DQ Time
2 Recoveries/5 Chills Max per Pokemon
2 Substitutions
Switch=OK
Abilities=All
Items=On
Sequences=Off
Turn Order=Coin-Flip
Arena=Earth Mausoleum
Arena: Earth Mausoleum
Field Type: Ground
Complexity: Intense
Format: All

Restrictions: No Natural Grass, Only Sandstorm & Clear weather permitted, Poorly-lit Indoor arena

Description: The Earth Mausoleum is a dark, desolate place inside a cave situated in a remote desert about 6km from the nearest city. At the entrace, you must proceed down a tunnel that is fairly dark, but is loaded to the gills with harmless Ground Type Pokemon, predominately Hippopotas & Sandshrew, even the occasional Garchomp lurking about the place. After your short walk through a prescribed route, you walk into a large, fairly well lit indoors arena, that looked very dull, but one thing's obvious; This was a Ground Type Paradise...
This arena has virtually the same dimensions as the ASB Tournament arena, but with a few differences. Firstly, the arena has mini-grandstands at the side, & the trainers stand on a Podium elevated up by 3 metres. Lastly, the arena ceiling is rather low at only 20m high.
Now, what does this arena have that gives Ground Types an edge? Firstly, The main arena floor is a hybrid of sand & dirt, mixed together to make a strange material that can easily be dug into. Additionally, the ceiling is low & creates a completely indoor feel, where Moves that require sunlight, like Solarbeam, & all other weathers bar Clear & Sandstorm, fail. Additionally, Pokemon using Sky Drop/Fly/Bounce fail to gain enough altitude to evade, that is, they become a normal attack. Next, there is a fairly large mud patch near the centre of the arena at about 10 metres in diameter, & goes to about 10 metres deep. This mud patch has a little bit of water in it, but enough to be considered an external water source, but in using it, the attack becomes combined with mud & becomes a Ground Type Attack. Additionally, anyone using the patch to dive are still vulnerable to seismic moves & get hit for double power.
Being a Ground Type paradise, how will the average player fare? We shall see soon enough...

Mechanics:
-Mud patches around the arena have enough water to be considered usable as an external Water Source.
--However, all the mud means that such attacks become Ground Type moves.
--Moves using these Mud Patches are also treated as Water-Type Moves for the purposes of Abilities such as Storm Drain.
--Pokemon hiding in Mud Patches, while retaining the normal properties of Dive (Bar Typing), is also treated as the move: Dig, for the purposes of moves like Earthquake, Earth Power, etc
-Sky Drop, Fly, & Bounce all work like they normally do, but they do not gain enough altitude to successfully evade attacks.

Summary: Ground Type Paradise.


Yup yup, same as always, a bunch of mud and whatnot. Now for the trainers' teams:

Just about every battle, Its_A_Random brings a Pokemon that has not seen this arena before, and this time it's a... Stunfisk. Interesting. And here is Gerard's team:
Gerard said:
Cicuta (Roserade) {♀}

Nature: Timid (+15% Speed, +12% Accuracy, -1 Atk)
Type: Grass / Poison


  • Grass: Grass STAB; Immunity to Leech Seed and Worry Seed. 50% reduction in status effect chance of oncoming "powder" attacks. More mobile in areas with strong natural light sources. Superior senses in tall grass and forest areas. Able to use Wrap and Bind without losing focus.

  • Poison: Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic, see and breath through smog/smokescreens/haze uninhibited. Able to use Wrap and Bind without losing focus. Superior senses in urban settings.

Abilities:


  • Natural Cure: (Innate)
This Pokemon’s body has the ability to heal itself of status afflictions over time, it goes into effect six (6) actions after being inflicted with a status. In switch battles, this Pokemon heals all status effects when switched out.
  • Poison Point: (Can be Disabled)
This Pokemon’s spikes/quills/thorns are coated in poison, and there is a 30% chance of poisoning any foe that uses a contact attack on this Pokemon. When disabled, all of this Pokemon's attacks that inflict regular poison will inflict Toxic poison (with the same chance of effect).
  • Technician: (Innate)
This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally have 6 or less Base Attack Power to have their Base Attack Power multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) Base Attack Power, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2). Because Technician is a multiplier on single hit moves, its effect is applied to Base Attack Power before any additive effects.

Coin flip time. Heads, Its_A_Random sends out his Pokemon first; tails, Gerard does.

Here we go!
 

"And so it begins...
This is actually a pretty tought situation, I've checked every possible pair in my head and came to the conclusion that the ones that I trust the most to start this are my always reliable Vogue, and the beautiful Simone, they show me the least amounts of flaws in between, and are a personal favorite of mine, so, here we go!"

C$FP you suck. Why must you always make me order first R1? :P

"Robolem @ Expert Belt, & Iron Chain @ Smoke Ball! Throw these marauders off course! Let us see which trick in your 1000 page handbook of ways to fuck me over will be employed!"

Robolem: Rock Slide > Fire Punch (Simone) > Rock Slide
IF Skill Swap is issued, AND No Guard is chosen, AND you are not Taunted, THEN use Protect on the first instance.
IF Simone uses Bide A1, THEN use Fire Punch (Simone) on the first A1, AND use Fire Punch + Fire Punch combo (Simone) A2.

Iron Chain: [Enable Sheer Force] Rock Slide > Iron Head (Simone) > Rock Slide
IF Trick (Iron Chain) is issued, AND you are not Taunted, THEN use Protect on the first instance.
IF Simone uses Counter, THEN use Thunder Fang (Vogue) that action.
 

.
"This is (and I am starting to think I overuse this word) Interesting, I tought you would send out either Iron Chain & Sleast or
Sleast & Robolem, it never crossed my mind you would bring them together, oh, and all the thing I had started to do in my head with those two, oh well, this actually works for me, no more worrying about a 6% chance of missing is nice :3"


Vogue: Hydro Pump (Robolem) ~ Hydro Pump (Robolem) ~ Scald (Robolem)
*If Robolem faints then switch all remaining attacks to Iron Chain

Simone: Blizzard ~ Blizzard ~ Focus Blast (Iron Chain)

The first round opens up and it looks like Gerard intends to start off quite strongly. Vogue immediately shoots a pressurized burst of water at Robolem with great power, while Simone summons a gale of snow towards Its_A_Random's Pokemon, already leaving Robolem significantly weakened. Robolem and Iron Chain team up to throw tons of rocks at Vogue and Simone, although Robolem for some reason has his item tossed to the side. Vogue and Simone once again fire off water and snow and ice, already knocking Robolem to the mud, unable to battle. The ice actually freezes Iron Chain into a large block of cold steel, so he cannot move. Vogue spits some burning hot water onto Iron Chain, which, funnily enough, thaws him out. Simone summons a large ball of orange energy, and shoots it at a high speed at Iron Chain, who just barely dodges it. Iron Chain once again throws a bunch of rocks at Gerard's Pokemon, but does not accomplish nearly as much without Robolem attacking by his side.

Iron Chain immediately starts to brace himself for more attacks. Utilitand makes his debut in this match by quickly applauding Simone with his many hands, even though he hasn't even seen her do anything yet. Vogue spits out a bunch of salty water all over Iron Chain, seeping into his wounds to cause extra pain. Simone takes her encouragement from Utilitand by repeating her last move, hitting Iron Chain directly this time with an orange ball of energy, although Iron Chain holds on with his last bit of vitality. Vogue once again spits up some water on Iron Chain, but this time with boiling-hot water. Simone lets out another blast of energy at Iron Chain, who just continues to endure the attacks. Utilitand uses his hands to send out specialized seismic waves throughout the mud, slowing down all of the Pokemon besides himself. Iron Chain suddenly rushes at Simone and tackles her with great might, nearly knocking her out. Utilitand finishes the job by shaking the whole arena more powerfully this time. Vogue, angered at Utilitand now, throws him around a bit with its telekinetic abilities. Iron Chain bites Vogue and thrashes her around a bit, leaving her fairly weakened.

Vogue starts the round off by bracing itself to be attacked, a very popular move for Pokemon who are starting to get tired. Utilitand then waves around his hands a lot in a manner that energizes Stortamus, who then spontaneously bites Vogue and thrashes it about. Wilde sees that Vogue is hanging on with the last bit of its energy, so he makes their vitality one and splits it in half for the both of them, hurting him a lot, though aiding Vogue significantly. Utilitand does not like how much Wilde helped Vogue, so he uses his hands to cut a wave of air at him, which is rather ineffective due to Wilde's sturdiness and defensive sash. Vogue retaliates on behalf of Wilde by launching a strong stream of water at Utilitand. Wilde performs the same move he used on Vogue, except this time on Stortamus; however, this time it heals Wilde and hurts Stortamus, since Stortamus was so healthy before. The hippo can do nothing to react because of his exhaustion, so he just sits there in the mud. Wilde claps his hands a couple of times towards Vogue, energizing it, similarly to Utilitand's move at the beginning of the round. Utilitand uses his hands as a drill to fly through the ground towards Wilde before smacking into him, again somewhat weakly. Vogue suddenly spews a great burst of salty and gross water at Utilitand, seeping into his wounds and made all the more powerful by Wilde's boost, although Utilitand's defensive band allows him to just barely hold on to consciousness. Stortamus finally reacts to Wilde's crazy strategies by opening the earth beneath him and hitting him with muddy energy. Neither player seems to have a distinct advantage at this point, although Wilde has nearly worked himself to exhaustion after just one round...

Utilitand realizes that his safety is completely in jeopardy, so he hides behind his large hippo friend for protection before he can be hurt. Vogue and Cicuta quickly send attacks their way; Vogue traps Stortamus in a persistent vortex of water, and Cicuta shoots several energized leaves at him. Stortamus responds by heaving a few heavy rocks at Vogue, partially trapping it and slowing Vogue down. Utilitand, still on the defensive, digs a hole underground and goes through it. Vogue simply relaxes, and Cicuta plants some seeds in the mud, how lovely... Stortamus, completely unappreciative of the zen that Gerard's Pokemon have created, bites down upon Vogue and throws it around. Utilitand bursts out of the ground beneath Vogue and strikes it. Cicuta quickly then puts up a magical, protective barrier before Utilitand can make fun of her. Vogue, with a quick change of pace, shoots high-pressure water at Stortamus, who uses his earthy powers to open the ground beneath Vogue and hit it with some energy, knocking Vogue down, unconscious. Its_A_Random now has a 2-to-1 KO advantage, but two Pokemon who are on the brink of being knocked out. Lets see how this plays out.

Sandstorm


Wilde immediately guards himself with a magical wall, and Iron Chain braces himself for impact. Utilitand does a dance and sings a funky song, directed at Wilde, but he doesn't even notice, since he's too busy protecting himself. Cicuta releases a green spore over Iron Chain, who suddenly falls asleep, despite his high level of adrenaline. Utilitand slows and can do nothing but relax due to his intense dance moves. Cicuta performs some voodoo shit on Iron Chain; Wilde relaxes like Utilitand, but Iron Chain sleeps in a very uneasy fashion until he spontaneously collapses, knocked out. Wilde quickly sends a wave of energy at Utilitand, who cannot withstand the attack, and thus falls down next to his partner. Its_A_Random only has Stortamus left, who is pretty worn out, so it looks like the challenger is probably gonna take this one for once.
