EDIT: Thanks IAR.

IAR goes first after C$FP sends out his next Pokemon!
 
waitwaitwait...

Camerupt's Abilities said:
Magma Armour: (Innate) This Pokemon has a strong, heated armour that makes it incapable of being frozen. The armour also reduces the Base Attack Power of all incoming attacks by one (1).
Solid Rock: (Innate) This Pokemon’s body is extremely solid and durable, and the Base Attack Power of incoming super-effective attacks is reduced by two (2).
Click to expand...
That reduces Bulldoze to 14.25 Damage, & EQ to 20.25 DMG, & I believe that means Camerupt's sub survives Bulldoze & fades aginst Earthquake. ;)
 
Yeah, so it's just an 81 HP/100 Energy Camerupt with one used chill against...

Pimpoleon the Empoleon @ Life Orb

Let's see what IAR does to counter this beast...

As quick as he came, a Pokemon goes. There is no hope for those who challenge the man of steel in this cold wasteland...


C$FP begins his Empoleons first round with an order to Dive... into some vat of chemicals? The label says: "Dihydrogen Monoxide." Sounds dangerous whatever it is...
Either way, because of his Dive, Camerupt is unable to hit him with his Earth Power.
After the seismic blast passes him, Empoleon emerges and strikes the camel-volcano-confused design Pokemon with an incredibly powerful water-based uppercut. The strike is powerful enough to break through Camerupt's thick skin and strikes him critically. This blow angers Tormeldon, unleashing his utmost rage! Anger Point activates!

C$FP again orders his penguin Pokemon to Dive, this time avoiding his enemy's Mud Bomb in the process.
Again, he surfaces after Tormeldon's attack misses and strikes him with his watery flipper; this time with slightly less power.

Finally, to add injury to insult to injury, Empoleon conjures up a large wave from the chemical vat to utterly destroy Camerupt.
The crushing wave bears down on the (thankfully virtual) field and swamps it for awhile. When the "chemical" finally drains, Tormeldon can be seen lying on its back, clearly KO'd.

Arena Flavour said:
here is where the smaller proto types are tested out, and if they succeed with their purpose, then the blueprints are taken to the mass production factory and created to help the U.S.S.R bulk up in case of an American Onslaught. the whole area is mottled with mute colors; the white of snow, blotted by the black of ash and the gray of shrapnel. no trees or water sources can be found here in this
Click to expand...
Yeah, last round was impossible...Requesting the round be replayed, with my actionset unchanged. Thank you.
 
*looks at arena description, sighs in intense exasperation* I'm pretty sure it should say in the arena description itself, since I stated it in my PM the the heads of gyms, that the summary is what is important, and I had Glacier Knight write the flavor for me simply to make it more interesting, and in the case of any inconsistencies the summary trumps the flavor (I'm pretty sure I said something like that). Perhaps this isn't a valid argument right now, but this is very annoying to me, since I never in any way intended to restrict water or trees.
 
The problem is that if it's not mentioned in the summary, then the flavour, imo, takes precedence. I am aware that you are frustrated, & you have taken actions to fix this in the wake of what's happened, which is good. I would've proofread the flavour, if I were you, but...

Can someone on the Gym Committee please sort this out? Thank you.

EDIT:
19:52 IAR MK, when CMFP PM'd you his Steel Gym, did he ever mention in the submission: "In the case of any inconsistencies between the flavor and the summary, the summary trumps the flavor."
19:54 Jesseus whoa thats disturbing, you should be identifying yourself as alchemator not alch
19:54 *** Jesseus was kicked by Alchemator (hardyhar)
19:54 avarice.az.us.synirc.net ChanServ invited Destiny_Warrior into the channel.
19:55 MK_Ultra i don't know iar i've since deleted the pm
19:55 IAR
19:56 *** Jesseus joined #capasb
19:56 Jesseus well that was unnecessary
19:56 IAR Well, I was hoping a Gym Committee member would sort out this: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3463380&page=2
19:59 Alchemator yeesh
19:59 Alchemator empoleon really murdered camerupt
19:59 IAR ik
19:59 Alchemator oh wait that's the issue
19:59 IAR Everything would be so much better
19:59 IAR If not for that effing shrapnel
20:00 Alchemator having talked to cmfp before about glacier writing the flavour
20:00 Alchemator I'd side with him
20:00 Alchemator but he really should have reviewed the flavour
20:00 IAR precisely
20:01 MK_Ultra i would say summary should always go over flavour
20:01 MK_Ultra do you need me to post iar or can you quote that
20:02 IAR I can quote it, but the problem is there's nothing mentioned in the summary concerning this...
20:02 IAR So, Just carry on as normal?
20:04 IAR y/n
20:04 MK_Ultra yeah i guess
20:04 IAR k

So we simply carry on as normal...*sigh*

At any rate, go Sleast!

Sleast @ Leftovers

BRING IT!!!
 
Yeah, I wasn't sure about the water thing. I assumed C$FP knew what he was doing considering its his gym design so, since there wasn't anything in the summary about it, I just figured there was a water source. (See my somewhat confused flavor for Dive and Surf...)
 
Sorry for all of the confusion. Now, Pimpoleon, show that thing which is the superior Water-type!

Grass Knot * 3
IF Mirror Coat, THEN Yawn the first time, Double Team (4) the second, Aqua Ring the third

The Challenger is forced to recognize his impending doom as his last Pokemon falters against C$FP's sheer power.


The (comparatively) swift Empoleon begins this match with the summoning of a thick mat of undergrowth from... beneath the floor? Perhaps this is due to that mysterious "Dihydrogen Monoxide" chemical we saw earlier... Anyways, this Grass Knot trips up Gastrodon before he can attack and does massive damage to the slug-like creature!
Sleast attempts to inflict equal pain to his penguin foe with his own terrestrial-based attack, Earth Power. The Earth Power knocks Empoleon off balance slightly, but does nowhere near the amount of damage his Grass Knot did.

The next two rounds go on just like the first; unfortunately for Sleast, as each round passes, the gap between their respective conditions widens further and further...

The long, painful battle finally comes to a close. Will this Gym Leader return to redeem himself?


Sleast struggles in vain to defeat his foe, but Empoleon's second Grass Knot is too powerful for the Gastrodon to handle...


Gym Leader C$FP wins!

C$FP gets 2 CC
Steelix gets 3 MC and 1 KOC
Empoleon gets 3 MC and 2 KOC


IAR gets 3 CC
Gliscor gets 3 MC
Camerupt gets 3 MC and 1 KOC
Gastrodon gets 3 MC


I get 7 UC


Congratulations to C$FP and GG to all!
 
GG IAR. That first match-up was quite fun. I will definitely find some way for me to be beatable by at the very least one of the gym leaders whose type is super-effective against Steel... any suggestions?
