[Kumori]

Ta~da! Open challenge.

1 v 1
Rules:

• No OHKOs
• No afflicting status ailments
• Only Basic or Stage 1 Pokémon

Arena:
Roman Coliseum
A coliseum with a sand floor and plenty of people watching and rooting for the Pokémon, though there's so much noise that it's impossible to tell which Pokémon is favoured. There's a 5% chance of a Pokémon sliding on the sand and falling on its butt, negating the action it was meant to be using. This doesn't affect Ground or Flying-type Pokémon, or any Pokémon with Levitate.


Whoever accepts this challenge can send first.

I feel bad pointing this out but:
"No afflicting status ailments" is one of the rules... sowwy.

[Aura]

aw my bad, sorry : <

Can i still change my commands?

[Kumori]

I'm gonna say sure because it's a bit of an odd rule.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

OMG what when did you get back?!

[Kumori]

This morning. When I remembered this place existed.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

We're battling as soon as I have an open slot!

[Aura]

Edited : o thank you xD

[Puma]

Going to ref this tomorrow, I'm sorry the beginning takes so long. After the delay on the first post, I will continue in my usual speed of 3 reffings a day at least. (:

I lied >:D

------------------------------------------
...HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! YOU ARE A BIT LOUD SO SHUT IT FOR A SECOND! Anyway, I shall welcome you to the roman colosseum! Not only do we have an intense battle soon, we managed to fill the entire stadium today! Let's not bother with talking around this forever though, our battlers don't want to wait! We have Aura here, not-so-new anymore, with her magically, on the ground lying sheet and Kumori, with the master of disaster himself, with the probably most fitting name in existence! Let's get this fight rolling!

♣ROUND 1♣

Our doombringer, fittingly named Disaster, starts with executing some sick dance moves of doom, while everyone watches eagerly. The whole viewership holds their breath and starts applauding afterwards. I have to admit, I'm impressed as well. However, everything the Absol tried was pointless, when Greed lives up to his name and snatches the attack boost away. Damn it!

[ -0 HP | -6 EP | Attack (+2) snatched! ]
[ -0 HP | -7 EP | Attack (+2) ]

Absol doesn't seem too happy about the outcome of his dancemoves, and charges at Shuppet, swiftly running around Greed, while finally striking him with black claws from behind when he leasts expect it. It seemed to hurt a fair bit! And with fair bit, I meant horrendous amounts, while I start holding a sign with "Critical Hit" on it into the air. Greed is torn between being happy because Disaster had no attack boost with that attack, and angry because he scored that critical. Time to get some revenge! The air around him gets extremely cold all of a sudden, and he sends a wave of icy winds into the Absols direction, rendering it numb for the time being. Brr...

[ -6 HP | -8 EP | Numb ]
[ -18 HP Critical! | -8 EP | ~ ]

A critical so early in the game is nothing you just take! Greed channels poisonous power, and gathers junk which will make the janitor that has to clean everything up afterwards happy, and hurls the complete blob at Disaster, dealing good damage to the Absol. However, his eyes start to shine, and the sickle on his head starts glowing in a dark light. Which sounds pretty dumb if you think about it. He leaps over and spins towards in the air, using his momentum to score yet another critical hit. Now come on guys with the dices in the back, this is getting ridiculous!

[ -16 HP | -8 EP | Numb ]
[ -19 HP Critical! | -11 EP | ~ ]

------------------------------------------

...Afterwards...

Referee Notes

• Aura will issue her commands next!
• Two crits in a row? *throws randomizer out of the window*
• Does "status inflicting moves" include moves with secondary effects inflicting status ailments?
• If the Energy of a Pokémon happens to reach 0, it will lose 1 HP for every 2 EP consumed. Also, it's action pool is reduced to two per round. However, the effect of "Relax" is doubled.

[Aura]

Well done, Greed : )
Now use Gunk Shot on him again, followed by Role Play and and your turn with another Gunk Shot.

Gunk Shot ~ Role Play ~ Gunk Shot

Subs:
(If he's trying to buff himself up, Snatch)
(if Role Play does not work due to some counter or whatever, use Thunderbold instead)
(if he uses protect, use Calm mind)

[Kumori]

'Does "status inflicting moves" include moves with secondary effects inflicting status ailments?' - I'd just say that you can still use the move but there's no chance of the status ailment.

Let's ruin that Role Play, shall we? We don't want any criticals hitting us, after all.

Taunt ~ Shadow Claw ~ Shadow Claw

♣ROUND 2♣

Welcome back to round two! Greed, still using his speed advantage because of the Absol's numbness, gathers another pile of junk, and hurls the result at Disaster, completely knocking him over. He gets up and starts to... curse? He insults Greed in any way possible, telling Greed he's not even a real ghost without flying and all that stuff. They should invent the new "Sheet" Type, weak to everything. Greed is visibly upset!

[ -16 HP | -6 EP | Numb no more ]
[ -0 HP | -11 EP | Taunted! ]

Finally the stupid feeling of numbness ended, and Absol's claws glow in a black way again. He charges into him, but ends up being greeted with a nice bolt of electricity to the face, making his charge even more furious.

[ -9 HP | -8 EP | ~ ]
[ -11 HP | -8 EP | ~ ]

It seems like Disaster's luck spree ended, as his next try to slice the Sheet named Greed which rhymed by the way, ends in doing mediocre damage once more. Sadface. However, he starts getting used to big blobs of poisonous junk, and doesn't even care about being hit AGAIN. (Disclaimer: Actually, Disaster does care.)

[ -16 HP | -8 EP | ~ ]

[Kumori]

Uh oh... spam Night Slash! If they use Protect, just go for a Swords Dance.

Night Slash/Protect x3

[Aura]

Use Gunk Shot as much as you can, to oppose his attacks.

♣ROUND 3♣

The fight reached it's climax, and both combatants feel like ending it. That's where things get one-sided, as everyone just orders to spam the shit out of the move that proved to be the most effective. Come on guys! Anyway, Absol slashes forward, hitting the magical Sheet with his Sickle once more, who gathers an enormous pile of junk to counter with, but ends up missing Absol by a few feet. He panicks. That's not the best time to start missing!

[ -0 HP | -8 EP | ~ ]
[ -13 HP | -11 EP | Taunted! ]

Absol grins. This is going exactly after Disaster plans. If he had any. He once again charges at Greed, dealing a good amount of damage with his darkened sickle of doom. And of pain. But mostly doom. Suddenly, the light on his Sickle vanishes, and nothing happens at all, as if some kind of evil power restricts the use of this ferocious attack. Greed grins, while he tries to unleash another Gunkshot, and hits Disaster right into the face. The tables have turned!

[ -16 HP | -8 EP | Night Slash ]
[ -13 HP | -11 EP | ~ ]

Greed's not done yet, as he charges up for yet another pile of junk, while Absol tries to figure out why he isn't able to make his sickle glow in a darker color. You should have recharged the batteries before the fight started! Anyway, the next pile of junk hits strong, and leaves Absol in a bad condition...

[ -17 HP | -8 EP | Can't move! ]
[ -0 HP | -11 EP | ~ ]

...Afterwards...

Referee Notes

• Aura will issue her commands next!
• Shuppet will stay taunted for 3 more actions!
• Absol's Nightslash will stay disabled for 2 more actions!
• If the Energy of a Pokémon happens to reach 0, it will lose 1 HP for every 2 EP consumed. Also, it's action pool is reduced to two per round. However, the effect of "Relax" is doubled.

[Puma]

Oh wait. I've made a huge mistake, that could change everything completely. God damn it. I rewrite a few things. I forgot to roll for Cursed Body this round, so I will do that now (:

EDIT: Well, there you go. Feel free to command!

[Aura]

Hang in there, Buddy >__<!
Use Sucker Punch on him multiple times, if he protects himself use Shadow Sneak Instead!

Sucker Punch ~ Sucker Punch ~ Sucker Punch
subs:
(If Protect, use Shadow Sneak)

[Kumori]

Oh, shizzle.
COME ON, MY APOCALYPTIC HELLBEAST! YOU ARE NOT BEING DEFEATED BY A SECOND RATE TINY GHOST THING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST SOMEONE WITH A CLOTH OVER THEIR HEAD!
(And what is that suspicious-looking horn, anyway? Is that his...)

Me First ~ Me First ~ Me First

[Puma]

Hm, I have to talk to DL or Oslo about something before reffing this, excuse the little delay on the reffing. (:

[Kumori]

lol, sorry about the crazy desperation to land the first hit XD

[Puma]

That's not the problem. Actually, it's if using me first on sucker punch is possible at all. While in the Movelist it's stated that you will cut ahead the attack the opponent uses, in the games it's not possible to me first a high priority move like sucker punch.

So, let me take a look at that first :'D

♣ROUND 4♣

Both Pokémon are in a pretty bad shape... The trainers shout their commands, and Absol instantly starts watching his opponent intensely, trying to execute the following attack before Greed gets the chance to do so. However, the sheer speed of the attack struck Disaster like nothing before, and he wasn't able to cut ahead properly. He falls to the ground, defeated. And with that, ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!

...Afterwards...

And that's that! It was a short, yet intense fight, if you ignore the last round with like, "USE THE SAME MOVE ALL OVER AGAIN!", but I had fun reffing this, I hope you guys had fun battling. And with that, I SHALL FLY AWAY ON MY PIDGEY! See ya later! (Also, I will have to claim my soul back at some point (: )
Also, I have made like, 666 posts with this one, so I go ahead and assume I don't have a soul anymore :'D

Before I forget it, me and Aura get 2 points, while Kumori gets 1.

Referee Notes

• It's not possible to "Me First" high priority moves, so it failed.

[Aura]

Well, thats what you get from calling him a "tiny second-rate Ghost" and making fun of his extreme-manly ..uhm horn .. yes, it's just a horn, ..right?

Jokes aside.


This fight was so much fun and you've been an tough opponent!
I enjoyed this a lot : ) I hope you too
But i did not expect to win this o_o


Also Puma, congratulations on having no soul xD
You did a nice job with the reffing : ) thank you

[DarkestLight]

Wha...it's already over? Pfft *Goes back to fufufuing like old people do*

[Puma]

Sorry DL D:
I reffed it already before I got the answer, as I was talking with Oslo as well ^-^

[Kumori]

Woohoo... a whole one point XD
Oh well, good game. I WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME! *blasts away again like Team Rocket*

[Cynder]

Sorry to interject, but sucker punch doesn't work unless the opponent's using an ordinary offensive move, so perhaps neither of them should have hit? At least that's how it works in the games, idk how you ref it.

[Puma]

You are wrong with that Cynder. As of Generation 5, Sucker Punch will not fail if the opponent uses "Me First". (:

Generation V
Sucker Punch will now succeed if the opponent is using Me First, regardless of who is faster.

[Cynder]

Ooooh, sorry! Should have looked that up before I said anything. Just seemed a little odd considering it's not an offensive move.
