How the match will be played:

Venser sends out his Pokemon and chooses their abilities and moves.
Athenodoros chooses his Pokemon's moves.

I ref.

Lets do this.

 

[Athenodoros]

I send out some Pokemon, and they use some abilities.

GOGOGOGOGO!!!!!!

 

[Venser]

ahahahaha i TOTALLY guessed you were sending out those two n.n

Well go breloom and cyclohm!!!!!

breloom is using effect spore| technician, cyclohm is using sheer force|shield dust

breloom use spore on cyclohm until it works then spore swampert. if you can use bullet seed on swampert at the end. if they use protect, push the actions back 1.

cyclohm damage that dragonite! Sheer force on, use Dragon Rush~ Tri Attack ~ Dragon Rush

 

[Athenodoros]

Alright guys, I think we'll concentrate on Breloom, because Spore is looking threatening. Dragonite, you can start up a Rain Dance, and then just hit Breloom with two super effective Gales.

Swampert, you can use Subsitute (15%) the first time, and then use Avalanche on Breloom as it tries to attack you.

Turn One

Athenodoros's Dragonite

Name: Nidhogg
HP: 100
Energy: 100
Speed: 80
Nature: Mild
Stat Boosts: None
Other: None

Athenodoros's Swampert

Name: Poseidon
HP: 110
Energy: 100

Other: None

Vs.​

Venser's Breloom

Name: Turtle
HP: 90
Energy: 100
Speed: 70
Nature: Adamant
Stat Boosts: None
Other: None

Venser's Cyclohm

Name: Swells
HP: 110
Energy: 100
Speed: 80
Nature: Lonely
Stat Boosts: None
Other: None


​

Action 1:

So, the action begins here. Swells wins the speed tie against his Dragon-type rival, who is conveniently named Dragonite. He wastes no time in utilizing this advantage, and he smashes Nidhogg hard with an extremely strong Dragon Rush. Nidhogg doesn't like this one bit, but with his Mild nature, he calms down after taking the hit, and begins to Dance, causing Rain to fall from the sky! Turtle is next, and he uses Spore! I remember him doing the same thing when he was just a mere Shroomish! Stupidly however, he uses it on his teammate, and Swells falls to sleep for 2 actions. It really looks like a deep sleep! Finally, Poseidon, who has just been watching the Dragon fly overhead for the duration of the whole match so far, makes a 15 HP Substitute, where he can continue to watch the flying Dragon...

Nidhogg: 12 damage from Dragon Rush, 10 energy from Rain Dance.
Poseidon: 15 damage from Substitute, 12 energy from Substitute.

Turtle: 7 energy from Spore.
Swells: 6 energy from Dragon Rush. Asleep for two more actions.

Rain is falling.

Action 2:

So, with Swells still asleep, Nidhogg takes the advantage to use HURRICANE on that awful Breloom. It even causes the Breloom to become confused! Turtle decides to use Spore again, but it is blocked by Poseidon's Substitute! As the Dragon still flies overhead, Poseidon uses Avalanche on Turtle, and that does some good damage to the Breloom.

Nidhogg: 7 energy from Hurricane.
Poseidon: 6 energy from Avalanche.

Turtle: 14 damage from Avalanche, 27 damage from Hurricane, 10 energy from Spore. Confused for one more action.
Swells: Asleep for one more action.

Rain is falling.

Action 3:

The final action begins, and Swells is still sleeping. Nighogg the Dragonite takes no persuading to do some damage to that stupid Breloom again, and the Flying Dragon above is getting wary! He uses HURRICANE, and once again, it hits Turtle straight in the face. The sound of the wind causes Swells to jump awake. He has already missed his turn to do something though, as Turtle wastes no time in destroying Poseidon's Substitute with a Technician Bullet Seed, and that easily busts through the sub, even thought Turtle is confused, he still manages to pull it off. Poseidon isn't happy though, and as he tenses up with rage, he launches a double power Avalanche at Turtle and the Breloom is KOed! The mountain in the distances loses all of its snow, and the flying Dragon above is now very wary of the Pokemon that are battling below him. It seems that he is getting ready to attack!

Nidhogg: 10 energy from Hurricane.
Poseidon: 1st hit (Sub breaks). 2nd hit, 21 damage. 3rd hit, (crit) 27 damage, 9 energy from Avalanche.

Turtle: 23 damage from Avalanche, 27 damage from Hurricane. KOed
Swells: Awake, but doing nothing.

Rain is falling.

Move Order

Athenodoros issues actions.
Venser issues actions.

I ref.

Lets do this.

 

[Athenodoros]

He said to use Spore on Cyclohm, not Dragonite. And I will delay my actions until this is cleared up, because it makes quite a difference.

 

[elDino]

Ok, changes implemented.
I don't really know why he used Spore on his own Pokemon, is there something I missed?

 

[Athenodoros]

I honestly have no idea. However, it does mean that we should be able to finish him off reasonably quickly: Poseion can just Earthquake => Earthquake => Earthquake, and Dragonite can just Outrage at Cyclohm all round.

 

[Venser]

fuck. worst fucking typo ever. FUCK.


Athenodoros, would you be willing to rematch this one later? lol


In the meantime, I guess we can try to get lucky here. Hurricane (Swampert) ~ Hurricane (Dragonite) ~ Hurricane (Swampert)

 

[Athenodoros]

lol. But I'd definitely be willing for a rematch after this.

Athenodoros's Dragonite

Speed: 80
Nature: Lonely
Stat Boosts: None

​

Rain continues to fall for 4 more turns.
Nidhogg's Multi-Scale is now deactivated.
​

Action 1:

So, after possibly the most retarded move ever in the history of ASB, Venser is pretty much fucked. Cyclohm wins the speed tie, and fires off a HURRICANE at Swampert. Venser's jammy luck gives him a lifeline, and Poseidon becomes severely confused. Dragonite uses Outrage, so things look grim for Swells. Typically, Poseidon hits himself in his confusion...

Nidhogg: 7 energy from Outrage.
Poseidon: 7 damage from confused attack, 14 damage from Hurricane, 3 energy from Confused Attack. Confused for one more action.

Swells: 27 damage from Outrage, 8 energy from Hurricane.

Rain is falling.

Action 2:

Dragonite wins the speed tie this time, and he smacks Cyclohm with another Outrage. He's still rampaging for one turn, though. Swells then hits back with another Hurricane, and it intensely confuses the Dragonite! Finally, Poseidon once again hits himself in his confusion, causing some real stress for Athenodoros now... Luckily, Poseidon is no longer confused.

Nidhogg: 12 damage from Hurricane, 7 energy from Outrage.
Poseidon: 7 damage from confused attack, 3 energy from confused attack. No longer confused.

Swells: 27 damage from Outrage, 11 energy from Hurricane.

Rain is falling.

Action 3:

Swells wins the speed tie this time, and he fires off another Hurricane, and it smashes Poseidon yet again. Luckily, it didn't cause confusion this time, or else Atheno would probably be ripping his hair out! Dragonite does get the Outrage off this time though, and it deals massive damage to the Cyclohm. Poseidon then uses Earthquake, and it crits, with some hax on Atheno's side. The battle ends!!!

Nidhogg: 7 energy from Outrage. Severely confused.
Poseidon: 14 damage from Hurricane, 6 energy from Earthquake.

Swells: 27 damage from Outrage, 29 damage from crit EQ.

End of the Match!
