"It looks like Rawks' entrance to the stage is just what this show needed to kick into a higher gear, because he is hell bent on damage output. Unfortunately his Acrobatics are a bit less graceful than Tim's were, but this could be due to his Berry still holding him back. Force meanwhile just chills for what seems like the 65th time, preparing for something costly."

"It turns out his coming attack wasn't going to take as much energy as he thought, but unfortunately it also wasn't very effective. He uses a Feint to add unimaginable speed to his Metal Claw, but it also changes the move to the Normal type and hence the damage done to even the weakly defended Rawks is laughable. He is also far too weighed down by the rocks still attaching themselves to his back to even get off the ground. This is costly too, because Rawks puts a fierce Earthquake through the boards on stage and rocks the Lucario."

"Rawks takes advantage of the failed combination too, and his second show of Acrobatics finally brings Force down. Not without a large ovation from the crowd on his way out though."


First Stanza
Rawk: Acrobatics > (6 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5)*0.67 + 1.75 = 9.75 = 10 [14 DMG] [6 EN]
Force: Chill [+12 EN]

Second Stanza
Force: Sneaky Metal Claw > (7 + (5-2)*1.5)*0.67*0.67 = 4.48 = 4 [4 DMG] [9 EN]
Rawk: Earthquake > (10 + (5-3)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 + 1.75 = 14.75 = 15 [15 DMG] [7 EN]

Third Stanza
Rawk: Acrobatics > (6 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5)*0.67 + 1.75 = 9.75 = 10 [14 DMG] [6 EN]
Force was knocked out!

That backfired miserably (and to be honest, I fail to see how the Smack Down would weigh down Lucario-it just disables flight/levitation/jumping attacks, it doesn't make them heavier)...but hey, Rotom's still alive. Enter, stage right-and wash out your foe!
479-wash.png

"Good! If his trick will be Smack down, ours will involve smacking HIM down!

Thunder Wave+Discharge-there's no way he's dodging that-before HYDRO PUMPing him!

If he Protects himself turn 1, use Substitute for 15 HP, THEN use the combo!
Since Rawk's a little too experienced for his own good:
If he decides to try any sort of trick involving nails that doesn't involve Protecting himself, Trick him into cutting himself with it!"
 
OK Archeops, he's left a gaping hole in his orders! Let's RP Tort to death!

Let's start by flinging 1 nail at him. That should trigger his Trick sub, but 1 nail will be merely a scratch. Then Smack Down, and then Earthquake. Rawr
 
Alrighty, I was trying to work through the multiple levels of confusion based on poorly worded actions and subs, when it dawned on me that this match started before the implementation of multiple substitutions and therefore Tort's actions are illegal. To keep it fair for both players I randomised which of the subs will be used for the round before starting any reffing, and the first one came up. So no substitute involving the nails will come into play (which is good because it made no sense to me anyway).

Additionally, it takes an action to enter a Rotom appliance, and since Fridge entered the battle as a normal Rotom it does not know Hydro Pump. Until you spend the action to move into a washing machine you will continue as normal Rotom.

I realise this is all highly unorthodox, but so is this match in general. If you guys could take a little more care in giving clear actions in future it would help us all out.

"The audience, the players and the troupe leaders are all pretty confused for this act. Not to mention me. Rawks begins by throwing a nail at Fridge for a little bit of damage, while the electric ghost is able to unleash a nifty combination that causes damage and cripples the bird with paralysis. That was until it took a bite out of its berry and felt no ill effects. However it foes activate his horrible ability. The rest of the round is left with Fridge quite unfortunately doing nothing while Rawks smacks it down and rocks it with an Earthquake."

First Stanza
Rawk: Threw a nail! > Model as 1 hit from Pin Missile > (2 + (5-3)*1.5)*0.67 = 3.35 = 3 [3 DMG] [2 EN]
Fridge: Discharge Wave > (8 + 3 + (4-3)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 = 12.5 = 13 > Rawk was paralyzed (25%)! > Rawk's Cherri Berry activated! [13 DMG] [17 EN]

Fridge: Has to recharge
Rawk: Smackdown > (5 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5)*0.67 - 3 = 4.37 = 4 > Fridge was knocked down! [4 DMG] [1 EN]

OK Archeops, we're gonna keep it simple now. Crunch ~ Earthquake ~ Earthquake

IF you don't have a substitute up AND Rotom uses Will-O-Wisp, then use Substitute (15 HP)

"With it's hindering ability activated, Rawks is looking to do everything it can to deal maximum damage on the way out. The crowd are into this excitement too. He starts off by Crunching on the poor Rotom, but the move really does some laughable damage. The sneaky little ghost has a cunning plan though, as it quickly ducks backstage for a costume change. When it returns it isn't a ghost at all, instead it's a bright orange floating lawn mower! Now there's something you don't see every day."

"Rawks then continues the assault with what I'm sure he thought would be a super effective attack. Unfortunately Fridge's new digs protect it from the brunt of the move and Earthquake is much more show than effect. Satisfied that he has set up a good position the Rotom unleashes a bright flash of electricity. While also doing some decent damage the Volts linger in the air and will allow Fridge to Switch sneakily back into its Pokeball at the end of the round."

"The still unaware Archeops simply unleashes another not particularly devastating Earthquake. Those in the front row aren't really enjoying it either. Meanwhile Fridge starts spinning his blades furiously and hurls a massive Leaf Storm at Rawks, knowing full well it won't have to feel the ill effects."

"Just as the storm clears Fridge is nowhere to be seen and in his place is standing Frostbite the Abomasnow. He gets a wild round of applause from the crowd as they haven't seen him in quite a while. Lets see what he has to offer."


First Stanza
Rawk: Crunch > (8 + (5-3)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 - 3 = 8 [8 DMG] [4 EN]
Fridge: Fridge entered a lawn mower! [8 EN]

Second Stanza
Rawk: Earthquake > (10 + (5-4)*1.5)*0.67- 3 = 4.705 = 5 [5 DMG] [5 EN]
Fridge: Volt Switch > (7 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 = 13 > Fridge will return to it's Pokeball at round's end! [13 DMG] [4 EN]

Second Stanza
Rawk: Earthquake > (10 + (5-4)*1.5)*0.67- 3 = 4.705 = 5 [5 DMG] [9 EN]
Rawk: Leaf Storm > (14 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5)*0.67 = 13.4 = 13 > Fridge's Special Attack sharply fell! [13 DMG] [8 EN]

Ummm...why was crunch so weak?

8 BP
Rank 5 Atk
Rank 3 Def
Super Effective (Dark vs Ghost SE, Dark vs Electric Neutral)

(8 + ((5-3)*1.5))*1.5 = 16.5 Damage
-3 For defeatist = 13.5 Damage
*2/3 (Arena) = 9 Damage

-4 EN (Not -3 EN, even with defeatist)
 
yes. Take it as a complement-I put it off because I dislike having to counteract your actions.

"Alright-let's finish off this guy.

Icy Wind+Ice Shard, Ice Shard. If Archeops Protects himself turn 1, chill and use the combo turn 2."

"It appears like the pointy end is upon us, and both players are doing all they can to get in that one last hit before going down. Rawks and his awesome speed just manage to get in first, but the half of a berry he still holds in one claw dimishes the otherwise impressive Quick Acrobatics. Frostbite, who joins us on stage for the first time in a while, proceeds to fire back with a horrible storm of freezing wind and hard ice crystals. The Sleet hits on both sides of Rawk's defences and leaves him clinging to the edge of the stage. Those in the front row don't seem to like it too much either."

"After both players take a little break from the power of their combinations Frostbite sees to the re-ending of the prehistoric bird with another Ice Shard, and Tortferngatr goes up 2 to 1!"


First Stanza
Rawk: Quick Acrobatics > (8 + 3 + (5-4)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 - 3 = 9.5 = 10 [10 DMG] [12 EN]
Frostbite: Sleet (11 Base Power, including STAB)
PHYSICAL > (5.5 + (3-2)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 = 7
SPECIAL > (5.5 + (3-3)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 = 5.5
= 12.5 = 13 DMG
Rawk's Speed fell!
[13 DMG] [9 EN]

Second Stanza
Everyone cools down!

Third Stanza
Frostbite: Ice Shard > (4 + 3 + (3-2)*1.5)*1.5*0.67 = 8.5 = 9 [9 DMG] [2 EN]
Rawks was knocked out!

...Deadfox, can I ask you where you got the BP for the combination from? I'm making it out to be 11 + 2 (Prioity attacks get a halfed BP). You seem to only be getting a BP of 8, which is a tiny bit lacking.

Also, no crits yet? Jeez c.c
 
Rawks was still holding half a Cheri Berry, thus it falls into the encumbered version of acrobatics. Once again this was mentioned in the flavour.

And yeah, the amount of crits I'm not rolling here is a little silly...
 
"I have an idea.

Icy Wind to blow back Beedrill and slow it down, then use an Ice Shard as a knife to cut off Beedrill's stinger tips. That ought to stop him from effectively utilizing either Poison Jab or X-Scissor-with no cutting/stabbing device to use, both of those moves should have drastically reduced effectiveness. If you have time, finish by unleashing your Hidden Power at Beedrill."

"We are quickly joined on stage by the always formidable Beedrill named Trouser Snakes, and the bee is licking its lips (if bees have lips..) at the type advantage it has found. He kicks us right off by slashing his stingers across Frostbite into an X-Scissor that cuts deep into the ice trees chest. Knowing his damage dealing options are somewhat limited Frostbite decides to turn the speed way in his favour. Another Icy Wind ensures that Beedrill's wings can't buzz as fast and does a little bit of damage in the mean time."

"Now is where Frostbite's plan comes fully around though, as he eventuates his new speed advantage with the priority of Ice Shards. On top of this, so skilled is the ice type Pokemon that he is able to aim the shards right at Trouser Snakes' forever extended stingers and one crystal shard slices the top from each of them! Looks like the bee's stings will be a little less potent while the tips grow back, and this is evident immediately with only mild damage resulting from his Poison Jab."

"The end of the act only rubs further salt in the wound, as Frosbite gets himself the critical hit Dogfish was so desperately after. Instead Trouser Snakes has to take the full brunt of a super effective Hidden Power as the Theatre's strange aura dissipated momentarily. On top of it all a rousing round of Bronx cheers comes from the whole audience at someone finally landing a powerful blow. Meanwhile Beedrill is left slashing away with half blunted X-Scissors and Frostbite just barely lives to play in another act."

Shouldn't the last X-scissor have done 9 damage?

Either way, you might want to use Protect...

Ice Shard+Blizzard combo, Hidden Power!

If he uses Focus Energy turn 1, switch the order of Hidden Power and your combo!
 
Hmmmm...

Focus Energy + Poison Jab ~ Acrobatics

For the combo: Focus all your poison into one of your stingers, and stab it into his eye!
 
This is something that really needs to be stated somewhere, but I've always reffed it that a combination involving a move that was to be substituted against still triggers the combination. Clearly this was the intention of DF's orders also.

"The audience is getting restless in their seats as this show looks to be winding towards an exciting conclusion. Despite his opponents precarious position, the usually speedy bee is a little cautious and allows himself to suffer another Hidden Power while charging up something extra special. The little flaming orbs don't strike him as hard as previous but its still not pretty. Mind you Trouser Snakes is charging up some power of his own, as suddenly his blunted stingers glow bright orange and he takes aim at just the right spot with a critically damaging Poison jab that knocks Frosbite back from the stage and out of this fight! On top of it all Rotom has to come out still in its lawn mower, and those stingers are still glowing brightly..."

Wow... we're at the finale already?

I'm actually gonna use this point to commend Deadfox for being a wonderful ref so far (And I'm gonna discuss something with the head approvers for getting you a raise on your RC claim).

Anyway...
