Andy's Toybox:
The toybox from the Toy Story series. The floor is made up of toys, but is solid and unmoving. However, after five rounds every two rounds Andy will hunt through the toybox a bit, causing the entire arena to shake violently for that round. Because it's a toybox, only unevolved Pokemon may be used.

I'll take Smashlloyd's challenge instead.

Tag the Litwick, you're on! (With Flash Fire)

BURN BABY BURN

 

[Banryu]

"Very well, we'll respond with Toronero the Shieldon, standing strong and Sturdy!

"Your opening move will be to Taunt dat candle like a boss-- remind Tag and smash that you're too slow! (...yeah, I know we've used that one already. We gotta stop recycling Brawl taunts.) Next proceed by laying a tight formation of Stealth Rocks between you and Taggerz there, that should help to dissipate some flame attacks as well as preventing it from approaching without hurting itself! Now unleash some cannonfire through the gap in the middle of the rocks with Rock Blast! (And... obviously... if it somehow manages to get close just blast it from whatever the best angle you can get is.)"

 

[smashlloyd20]

Okay, Tag! We can do this!

Use Fire Blast, then use Will-o-Wisp, then Fire Blast!

Fire Blast~Will-o-Wisp~Fire Blast

 

[Banryu]

((You DO realize that Shieldon is faster right? LOL I could hardly believe it myself, but... yeah... In case that'll be affecting what you want to do.

EDIT: LOL go for it))

Two people enter into a room that belongs to a little child. Toys cover the shelves and litter the floor. Are they pedophiles? No. They are two trainers, that have a score to settle. They see a box in the middle of the room and open the lid. The trainers are then sucked into the box, the stage for their battle. smashlloyd then grabs a Pokeball from his belt and tosses it into the air, then Tag the Litwick appears in a flash of light. Banryu decides that Toronero the Shieldon is the best response to Tag.

Toronero takes the initiative and begins to Taunt Tag. "Haha you stupid candle, YOU'RE TOO SLOW!!!!" Tag becomes enraged by Toronero's tactics and only wants to hurt him. Tag responds by launching a Blast of Fire directly at Toronero. Toronero then creates (Stealth) Rocks that begin to float, creating a "barrier" between himself and Tag.

Not waiting for his opponent to move, Toronero picks up 3 Rocks and Blasts them at Tag. The candle is rocked (pun intended) by the attack, but certainly not out. He once again generates another burst of Fire and Blasts it directly at Toronero. Toronero takes the hit like a champ and waits for his trainer's orders.

"All right, Fire Blast has a huge radius, so a lot of it should get blocked by the Stealth Rock barrier. Same goes for the physical fire attack, as long as you stay behind the pointy rocks, all Tag's gonna do is hurt himself. >:3 Respond with a hefty Swagger to amplify dat Taunt, then unleash multiple Rock Blast barrages!"

Although being slightly weaker than his opponent, Toronero continues to Taunt Tag the Litwick. However, Tag is already enraged by Toronero and pays no attention to the mocking. He then unleashes another powerful Fire Blast at Toronero.

Toronero takes the attack, and retaliates with a Rock Blast. He fires 2 rocks at the candle, dealing some serious damage. Tag then becomes engulfed in Flames and Charges Toronero. As he is rushing his foe, Tag collides with the rocks and takes some heavy damage, but is able to hit Toronero at full force.

Using the momentum from his Flame Charge, Tag launches another Fire Blast from point blank range. The fire engulfs Toronero, scorching the Pokemon. As the flames subside, 2 Rocks Blast through and smack Tag, sending him flying backwards.

[Banryu]

((Shit I just realized that I made another incredibly stupid typo. I bolded Taunt instead of Swagger, which was the attack I intended to use, bah. Dx That aside, just noting that this doesn't really make a great deal of sense:
EDIT: Knowhat, nevermind. I'll keep my nitpickings to myself for now, I've done enough of it in this match already.))

"Ack. Well, we're getting hit more than I'd like, but this strategy (aside from my faultily-emphasized order) seems to be working pretty well so far." It looks like he's trying to mess with us status-wise.... He seems to have smartly timed that Flame Charge to still be around when his Taunted status wears off. "Well... we're going first this round, so no sense trying anything exceptionally tricky. Taunt him again for realz this time, then Metal Burst back any and all attacks he throws at you. If he tries to mess you up with Confuse Ray, bounce it back with Magic Coat, and continue your actions on the second and third turns. This is seriously enough stupidity out of me, you and the others deserve better."

Turn 1: Taunt (sub with Magic Coat if attacked by Confuse Ray)
Turn 2: Metal Burst (sub with Taunt if used Magic Coat on last turn)
Turn 3: Metal Burst

((These technically work with the new move substitution rules I think, right? If they don't I can change them.))

Making the most of his boost from Flame Charge, Tag releases a Will-o-Wisp at Toronero. The wispy flame engulfs Toronero Burning him. Toronero doesn't seem to bothered by the burn, as he begins to Taunt Tag again. Tag, once again, only wants to hurt his foe.

Then a silver orb appears in front of Toronero. This must be that incredibly overpowered Metal Burst technique that we've heard so much about. Tag looks like he's wants to relax, but he just stands there, with steam coming off of him. The orb appears like it's going to vanish, but then Toronero extends the length of the Metal Burst, only to have the same result as before.

[danmantincan]

Sorry smash, I forgot to add Taunt to the post-round summary.

 

[Banryu]

Okay seriously now, am I the only person who sees a problem with Chill-- a command to sit still and do absolutely nothing-- being used after its user has been Taunted-- a command that requires the victim to attack....?

 

[DarkSlay]

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to make a quick intervention here. When a Pokemon is Taunted, it cannot use the chill action. It must either attack directly or do nothing. Therefore, please edit the match so that smashlloyd20 does not recover any energy from these chills. Thank you!

EDIT: My mistake, I was told he did recover energy. Either way, thanks!

 

[danmantincan]

@ DS - I didn't let smash recover any energy from the chills (as seen in the "Calcs"), I simply forgot to subtract the 6 from the WoW, which I've changed now.
@ Banryu - I saw it as if a Pokemon is taunted, it will simply ignore any non-attack actions given to it, which is what I did. Same as in the first round when Toronero taunted Tag and prevented his use of WoW. If you have a problem with smash actually choosing to use the Chill command when he knows he has been taunted, that's something you'd have to take up with him.

 

[Banryu]

((LOL it's not like I can convince him not to do that in something like this, I think you know that as well as I do. What I had a problem with was YOU approving it, but I was apparently mistaken in thinking that you did and I clearly misread something then, so my bad.
Actions, I guess, since it looks like Smash prepared for Taunt: ))

Tag is trying to keep the momentum in his corner, as his body becomes engulfed in Flames and he Charges Toronero. Toronero attempts to Counter Tag, but seems to forget that he is a Ghost-type. That slip up could cost him.

Tag then keeps the pressure on by spitting Embers at his foe. Toronero shrugs off the attack and shows off his Swagga. Tag becomes Slightly Confused about how an opponent this close to being knocked out could still be this arrogant. He then becomes angrier with Toronero for mocking him and will definately put a little more pow into his attacks.

Another silver orb appears in front of Toronero, ready to absorb any of Tag's attacks. Tag doesn't seem to care and rushes in to finish Toronero. Tag must not have been paying attention though, and he trips and Hurts himself in confusion. But without an incoming attack, Toronero's Metal Burst was wasted.

Banryu, you're up.

EDIT: About Stealth Rocks, I figured that they would be placed in the middle of the arena (Between Toronero and Tag), and when Tag rushed through them with the first Flame Charge he took the damage but he wouldn't go back to the other side of the rocks.
As for what part of Toronero is burnt, since his face pretty much covers his whole body from the front, I would have to say that his entire face is burnt.

 

[Banryu]

(FAIL. ROFL. So Tag gets hurt by the Stealth Rocks again, right?

...BTW, what part of me is burned, I wonder? Well not like it matters, everything but the tail probably affects the power of Rock Blast.)

....hmm. Well, this took a turn for the less-than-desired. Well Toronero, it's time to soften up Tag for our next combatant! Your last move will be a screeching Metal Sound! If his next attack fails to KO and he gets cocky, Chill and launch another Metal Sound in the final turn!

Metal Sound > chill > Metal Sound
