Facility The Legend Gauntlet (Keldeo): かたわれ時 vs. TMan87

[Maxim]

Welcome, everyone. This is the resting place of the mysterious fourth member of the Pokemon musketeers, Keldeo. It is quite mysterious and elusive, as only a few people have glimpsed one in the wild. Today, we tell the tale of those who fought for it's attention.

The Rules

Match
A match is a composition of multiple games. A match is over when one trainer wins two games.
Both players send in a team of 3 Pokemon.

Game 1:
- The ref flips a coin (or rolls a 1d2, you get the idea) to select who is "T1" and who is "T2"
- T1 strikes one of the five arenas
- T2 strikes two of the remaining four arenas
- T1 strikes one more arena
- The round is played on the remaining arena
- T1 is first sendout

Games 2+:
- The winner of the previous round gets to strike one arena
- The loser of the previous round picks one of the remaining arenas
- The round is played on the selected arena
- The loser of the previous round is first sendout

Game
B3P2 Singles
72h DQ, 1 Warning
Abilities: All
Items: ON
Switch: OK
Megas: 1
Z-Moves: 1
Substitutions: 3
Recoveries: 2 per Pokemon
Chills: 5 per Pokemon
Arena: Variable
Special Rule #1: The game ends when the first KO is scored. The trainer of the KO'd pokemon loses that game.
Special Rule #2: Combinations cannot be used
Special Rule #3: Damaging Evasive Moves (excluding Sky Drop) take place over 2 Actions instead of 1 Action, and both parts occur at +0 Priority. (The Pokemon evades at +0 Priority on the first Action, and attacks at +0 Priority on the following Action). Parts 1 & 2 do not incur Consecutive EN Penalty for each other.

The Arenas

Musketeers’ Hideout
A secret place deep within a forest where the four Musketeers used to live and are said to gather in case of danger for the nearby Pokémon. Righteous energy permeates the room.

• All Pokémon are under the effects of the Ability Justified
• All Pokémon’s weakness to Fighting is calculated at the next level of weakness (e.g. 0.5x-1x, 1x-2x). Ghost-type Pokémon are still immune to damaging Fighting-type moves
• All moves that boost Attack have their stage boost raised by one (1). For example, Swords Dance now boosts Attack by 3 stages, while Power-up Punch boosts Attack by 2 stages

Codifications
Camouflage: Fighting
Nature Power: Energy Ball
Secret Power: Lowers Defense by one stage
===============================
Path of Resolution
This small forest path fills you with determination, to the point where you feel something awakening deep within you, a force pushing you forward and letting you overcome any obstacle.

• Hidden Power has its BAP increased by three (3)
• Moves containing the words “Cut”, “Cross”, “Claw”, “Scissor”, “Scratch”, “Swipe” or “Slash” deal 25% of their blocked damage if they are blocked by a P/E move.
• While Focused, a Pokémon has its Speed raised by two (2) stages and its Attack by one (1) stage

Codifications
Camouflage: Grass
Nature Power: Energy Ball
Secret Power: Lowers Special Attack by one stage
===============================
Moor of Icirrus
Keldeo’s old training place is prone to both freezes and forest fire. You’ll need to watch out for environmental hazards, as the ever-changing seasons bring their own share of calamities with them.

• At the start of each Round, apply the following effect:
  • If the Round number is odd, change the default weather to Hail.
  • If the Round number is even, change the default weather to Sunny.
• Pokémon-induced weathers have their duration halved
• Hail causes Pokémon that are not Fighting-, Ice-, or Water-Type to have their Speed reduced by one (1) stage
• Sunlight causes Pokemon to be Trapped, and causes Pokemon that are not Fire-Type to lose 2 HP at the end of each Action

Codifications
Camouflage: Water
Nature Power: Mud Bomb
Secret Power: Lower Speed by one stage
===============================
Shining Coast
A beautiful coast where the sea shines under the sun and a light breeze blows. This is one of Keldeo’s favorite places, and he sometimes appears, only to gaze at the sea for a while, before shooting off to somewhere else.

• Pokemon in the evasive stage of Dive can still be hit normally by the opponent’s attacks.
• All damaging moves with priority of exactly 1 (after modifiers) are treated as Water-Type moves.
• While ordering, a player can modify any of their attacks by adding the “Journey” modifier (for example, Surf (Journey).) This increases the EN cost of the move by 5. If a move with the “Journey” modifier is Surf, or if it is a damaging Water-Type move being used at +1 Priority or earlier: it gains self-switching properties. (at the end of the Round, the user switches out, but the user must order first next Round)
• Solar Beam and Solar Blade have their BAP increased by 50% if the target used a Water-type move since the start of the current action

Codifications
Camouflage: Water
Nature Power: Earth Power
Secret Power: Lowers Accuracy by one stage
===============================
Wonder Dimension
A secret door at the back of the Musketeers’ Hideout leads to this alternate dimension, where the Swords of Justice trained Keldeo and where the latter mastered the Secret Sword technique. Nothing follows the space-time laws of your realm here, so don’t get thrown off balance!

• Damaging Physical moves use the target’s Special Defense rank and stat changes in the damage formula
• Damaging Special moves use the target’s Defense rank and stat changes in the damage formula
• Sacred Sword ignores the user’s Attack stat drops and the target’s defensive stat boosts only

Codifications
Camouflage: Fighting
Nature Power: Psyshock
Secret Power: Lowers Defense by one stage

Now then, let's roll the dice to see who goes first. This determines who gets T1.
%roll 1d2: 1=かたわれ時, 2=Tman87
Values: 1

T1=かたわれ時

With that decided, let's introduce the teams!

Kit the Kitsunoh

Kit [] Kitsunoh [Stage: 3]
Type: Ghost/Steel
Hidden Power Type: Water

[Abilities]
Frisk
The Pokemon has intimate knowledge of the opponent's held item and ignores any item-based increases or decreases in damage, BAP and STAB from the opponent's item. This will not block the increase in BAP moves like Acrobatics and Knock Off that incur when an item is or isn't held. Item-Based increase in ranks (Such as from Rare Candy) are not negated by Frisk. The Pokemon will not be affected by Fling or Natural Gift.

Limber
This Pokemon's body is well trained and immune to paralysis. If the Pokemon with this Ability is Electric-type, this Pokemon's Speed cannot be lowered by any method, including self-inflicted reductions.

Iron Fist
The Base Attack Power of this Pokemon's moves tagged as #Punch is increased by one (1).

Poke-Profile

Flighty and easily spooked, Kit prefers not to battle, always attempting to use diplomacy when possible.

Team TMan87:

Magnolia Arch the Gardevoir (★★★★★)

Bio

Magnolia was the first to wake me up... as a Ralts again. Quite flustered herself, she explained that we somehow managed to slip through a space-time rift and end up in an alternate dimension where she and the others never evolved. Understandably, she was pissed at here renewd weakness -something she thought a thing of the past. However, she chose to set out one again with me and gain that power back.
Due to her past experience, it was but a formality to get back to her regular power level, though she claims wavering patterns in lunar energy keep her from accessing her true power. We'll see about that, because I have a feeling our quest is far from over...

Sir Olberic Eisenberg the Sirfetch'd (★★★⭒ ⭒)

Bio

Sir Olberic Eisenberg (Berg for short) is a Galar native who decided to accompany us on his quest for revenge against some dark forces. Not sure I like the sound of that, because I've seen enough cosmic destroyers and dimensional shifts for my entire life, but several members of the group instantly agreed to help him so... there we are.
Honestly, he's a good recruit: with so many team members focused on pelting at the opponent, having someone take the front lines and hold them is a key component for battles. And he's good at it, too! Swinging his lance/sword/leek/thing almost seems natural to him, and that shield is pretty effective to block ranged attacks too.
He's also surprisingly popular with the ladies, though I don't think he knows that (or care), to their dismay.

Round 1:

Here we stand, the place where it all began, the day we took our oaths. To protect. To save. It was just the three of us back then, young souls trying to emulate the heroics of the human knights we saw. Little did we know at that time what the lie of knighthood really meant.

The battle opens, and we see Snom sending out Kit the Kitsunoh against TMan's Sirfetch'd, Sir Olberic Eisenberg. It appears that Snom was attempting to take advantage of the arena, you cannot get hurt by the fighting weakness if you're a ghost type right? Alas, Olberic is a Scrappy fighter, and is able to take advantage of Kit's Steel typing to deal massive damage. Sensing this, Kit flashes forward with a shockwave of air, knocking Olberic off-balance. The Unbending Blade is not so easily thwarted however, and he Steadfastly rises, even quicker than before.

In fact, Olberic finds himself faster than Kit, and bashes Kit with his shield with enough force to shatter rocks! The attack, while seemingly small, sends Kit reeling from the blow, though he is able to keep the mask on. Kit strikes back by dancing around the knight, weaving and turning, almost toying with Olberic. Suddenly Kit strikes, and reveals her trick, that last blow activated a Weakness Policy, allowing her to almost match the damage of the knight.

Olberic finds himself having had enough games, and launches a full fledged assault upon Kit. Just in the nick of time, Kit puts up a barrier to prevent being slaughtered by the fierce blows. Blows come, one after another, and just when it seems Kit's shield can no longer hold, Olberic ceases his assault.

If I had to guess, Kit no longer has any interest in taking on Olberic, so we will have to see how Snom will handle the Unbending Blade.

• All Pokémon’s weakness to Fighting is calculated at the next level of weakness (e.g. 0.5x-1x, 1x-2x). Ghost-type Pokémon are still immune to damaging Fighting-type moves
• All moves that boost Attack have their stage boost raised by one (1). For example, Swords Dance now boosts Attack by 3 stages, while Power-up Punch boosts Attack by 2 stages

[かたわれ時]

Now why did I not go for the Poison Jab combo immediately? That had such a better immediate reward.
Oh well it's a lesson to remember.


This battle may be at its end but the search continues! Let's hope for a better battle before the end.
Shadow Sneak + Giga Impact ~ cooldown (Shadow Sneak + Giga Impact) ~ Shadow Sneak + Giga Impact

No fancy subs, if we die we die
Also how many rewards do we get from a full set of 3 battles? 6RC for a full set of 3. Let's hope I play well enough to do all 3.

Round 3:

Sorry, I must've dozed off there. It's very comfortable in here, the local Pokemon helped us build it. Altaria was especially helpful, cleaning the place up and finding the feathers to stuff our resting places. Nowadays though, we wander too much to use it. A shame really, we should come back here sometime.

Combinations?! In my domain?! You insolent fool! I shall strike you down for this. Or at least I would if Magnolia didn't just gleam him to death. I wonder what's in those dazzling gleams that hurt so much anyways? Well, ta ta for now!

A breeze rushes through the area, the legendary's aura is gone now...

IF Volt Switch AND Volt Switch wasn't used the action prior AND Volt Switch isn't to be used the action after THEN Protect
IF Ampharos has Double Team clones when you would act THEN Dazzling Gleam
IF Substitute (25) THEN Encore the next action and use Hyper Voice for the remainder of the round

Switching is going to be risky Amphy, so do your best and power through!

Arena

Shining Coast
A beautiful coast where the sea shines under the sun and a light breeze blows. This is one of Keldeo’s favorite places, and he sometimes appears, only to gaze at the sea for a while, before shooting off to somewhere else.

• Pokemon in the evasive stage of Dive can still be hit normally by the opponent’s attacks.
• All damaging moves with priority of exactly 1 (after modifiers) are treated as Water-Type moves.
• While ordering, a player can modify any of their attacks by adding the “Journey” modifier (for example, Surf (Journey).) This increases the EN cost of the move by 5. If a move with the “Journey” modifier is Surf, or if it is a damaging Water-Type move being used at +1 Priority or earlier: it gains self-switching properties. (at the end of the Round, the user switches out, but the user must order first next Round)
• Solar Beam and Solar Blade have their BAP increased by 50% if the target used a Water-type move since the start of the current action

Round 4:

Ah, my favorite place on the isles, the Shining Coast. I love going on journeys from here.

A couple of unusual actions to start things off. Magnolia decides to Trace Plus, but that ability specifies that you only get the boost from an allied Pokemon having it. Amphy for his part decides to save his Rage Candy Bar for later.

Magnolia starts off by Mega Evolving, and blasting Amphy with the power of the moon! Amphy isn't taking that lying down, and swipes at Magnolia with a Tail of Iron. They do surprisingly similar damage, actually. Then Amphy tries to switch out with a Volt Switch, but Magnolia puts up a barrier to block the attack completely. Then well, we have the same thing happen again, moonblast and tail swipe. All told, Amphy's hp advantage is helping a surprising amount here, as Magnolia is the one down on HP. Will Snom's advantage last, I wonder?

Round 5:

You know, I had this storyline planned out, but the match was too quick. Oh well!

The round starts and...why is there theme music playing in the background? Oh my! What a dazzling special move by Magnolia...except I think that's just a hyper beam. It would appear that Amphy underestimated his opponent, as Magnolia simply blasts him into oblivion before he can switch out. He didn't even eat his candy bar, truly the most dire of fates.
