[GYM] MLG vs. Oslol: Disco Demolition! [Ref: More of rossy!]

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Do you have an open gym-slot right now? If so, I got a few eager pokemon who need to stretch their legs.

Oh and Teeter Dance is nifty!

[Oslo]

YOUR FACE is nifty.

(That's me accepting this challenge.)

[Rossymore]

All your Pokemon are nifty-keen!

(That's me ripping off Oslo's post and agreeing to ref this battle against the better judgement of my conscious sub-conscious)

[Oslo]

Thanks, Rossy!

Quietly tucked away in the club district of some unspecified Norwegian city, Combat Disco has rapidly become the new face of the local nightlife. The establishment primarily consists of one rather massive dance floor with pulsating strobe lights. Numerous tables and chairs are clustered near the walls and a bar replete with all sorts of libations sits in the corner. This dance-battle fusion club is known for its eclectic repertoire of music—here, everything from cozy little acoustic ditties to explosive heavy metal outbursts can be heard nightly. Curiously enough, the music tends to have an impact on the dancers.

Every time a Pokemon on the field faints, the type of music changes and brings about a new effect. Though this music is of adequate volume, rest assured that it will never be so loud as to drown out sound moves used by the battlers. Additionally, even if your Pokemon has the Soundproof ability or is battling with their fingers in their ears or is attempting to destroy our indestructible speakers, it doesn’t matter: no Pokemon can avoid hearing the music no matter what. After all, you can’t stop the beat!

Once the music ends, the accompanying effect will fully and completely come to an end as well. The following is a list of the various genres played at Combat Disco and their attendant effects:

‡ Category O ‡

Top 40: This style of music always plays from the beginning of the match until the first Pokemon faints; it possesses no additional effect

‡ Category A ‡

Easy Listening: Both Pokemon may only use one damage-dealing super effective move per round
Punk: One Pokemon receives +3 Att/+3 Def and the other +3 SpA/+3 SpD
Emo: Every action there’s a 20% chance a Pokemon will disobey its trainer’s orders and use Fake Tears instead (the Pokemon will manage to use Fake Tears regardless of whatever other status effects are in play, including but not limited to Sleep or Taunt, or even if they can’t actually learn Fake Tears)
Screamo: Both Pokemon come under the effects of Torment until the music ends
Rap: Both Pokemon come under the effects of Taunt until the music ends
Tribal: An irreplaceable weather effect that negates any other existing/future weather effects occurs

‡ Category B ‡

Oldies: Attacks are either increased or decreased in power depending on the Generation of their introduction:
Generation I: +5 HP | Generation II: +3 HP | Generation III: +/- 0 HP | Generation IV: -3 HP | Generation V: -5 HP
Dubstep: Attacks are either decreased or increased in power depending on the Generation of their introduction:
Generation I: -5 HP | Generation II: -3 HP | Generation III: +/- 0 HP | Generation IV: +3 HP | Generation V: +5 HP
Country: Both Pokemon may only use moves with names that are nine characters or less (including spaces and punctuation)
Reggae: After the next Pokemon is released but before commands are issued, the Gym Leader and then the challenger will openly declare one move known by the opposing Pokemon for it to “forget” for the duration of this effect
Chiptunes: Both Pokemon can only use moves they or their previous evolution learn by TM/HM

‡ Category C ‡

Heavy Metal: Both Pokemon have their ability changed to Heavy Metal
Rock: Both Pokemon have their type changed to Rock
Polka: Both Pokemon have their ability changed at random
Folk: Both Pokemon become typeless

‡ Category D ‡

Classical: Both Pokemon transform into Kricketunes with the Swarm ability

The choice of music, determined by the referee DJ, is not completely random. There is a 40% chance the genre of music played will be selected from Category A, a 30% chance it will be selected from Category B, a 25% chance it will be selected from Category C and a 5% chance it will be selected from Category D. The DJ should bear this in mind while selecting music. As well, the DJ is reminded to inform the battlers what the change in music will be before the change actually takes effect.

Since Combat Disco is a disability-friendly Gym, should either battler send out a Pokemon that requires water in order to fight, a section of the dance floor will retract to reveal a pool large enough to comfortably contain a Wailord. Furthermore, should any weather effects come into play, part of the roof will automatically pull back and open up the club interior to the sky.

Those who successfully defeat Combat Disco's Gym Leader will receive the Glitter Ball Badge as well as the house TM, Teeter Dance, to be used on a single Pokemon with legs that has competed in the Gym challenge.

All this said, this battle will be a three on three and I will release first and attack second. I intend to lead off with...

...King Thrashypants! Come on out, bud—Nidoking, male, Poison Point, epic.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Nice, looks to be a promising match!

Let's tango this place down! *enlarges pokeball*

Come out Aki Izayoi! *hurls*



(Crimson female Ferrothorn with Iron Barbs)

Use Grass Knot and snare it down! Then run it over with Bulldoze, to finish with Gryo Ball!

[Oslo]

Use Cut to slice through the Grass Knot before it can even touch you. Then, wait for him to Bulldoze you before Amnesia-ing it. Finish with Flamethrower.

We begin this match inside the arena of Gym Leader Oslo, challenged today by MLG. Is he trying to usurp Oslo, or simply wishing to obtain his badge? We'll find out. Oslo sends out King Thrashypants, his Nidoking and MLG retaliates with Aki Izayoi, his Ferrothorn, which is different to normal Ferrothorn, that's for sure. And with that let the battle begin.

Thrashy begins this match, by waiting for Aki. Aki sees her chance and sends evil tendrils towards Thrashy. He grins a nasty grin and the claws on his left hand glow white. With a roar, he slices through the grass, stopping it in its tracks. Aki frowned, wondering how this battle would play out. We shall see.

Thrashy continues to wait for Aki to make her move. Wondering what was going on, Aki decides what the hey and attacks anyway. The ground shakes, though not with the same strangth as another well known earthshaking move. Thrashy glows pink and so does Aki. Bulldoze, she says, what's that?

Thrashy finally goes on the offensive and breathes fire on Aki, causing massive damage. Aki doesn't like that at all and glows silver, rotates around and around, then smashing into Thrashy. He's slightly taken aback by this, but would have received more damage if he were slightly faster.

We begin this round with Thrashy sending a large barrage of ice and hail towards Aki. It smarts, that's for sure. Aki retaliates by firing a single red seed at Thrashy, which vines then spread around him and Thrashy gets the feeling they'll cause him agony later on.

Thrashy continues on the offensive and causes the ground beneath Aki to explode violently. Aki doesn't like this and glows an eerie black colour, then smacking into Thrashy. Yikes that looked like it hurt. Suddenly, Aki remembers something!

Thrashy now focuses and creates a ball of fighting energy and Aki quickly sends vines towards him, with the intent of tripping him. And she succeeds, just too late to stop Thrashy complete his attack. Looks like Thrashy is still a bit too fast.

MLG to issue attacks.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

It is strange how he succeeded in tripping him, but the non-accurate blast did hit her?

Aki, Bulldoze again! Then Power Whip and Bulldoze again. If he uses Amnesia on Bulldoze, switch to Power Whip again.

[Rossymore]

There is a large speed gap between the two, so I account that in. Aki moved quickly, but succeeded in tripping Thrashy after he had fired the Focus Blast, which then hit, surprisingly.
Maybe you might catch up to him after a few more uses of Bulldoze.

[Oslo]

Hrm. That Leech Seed is doing a lot of health-sucking and I'm afraid he might Explode next round if I don't finish him now. As well, with the way Rossy refs subs, methinks "Protect against any explosions" won't work. (I'm learning! )

Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Flamethrower! Burn that seedy!

Despite the lowered speed, Thrashy was still faster. He created a star of fire and sent it towards Aki. The words of kill, kill, kill etched into the star. Then it misses and burns a table instead. Well that isn't too surprising. Aki whips the naughty, naughty Thrashy for his nasty behavior. Dirty boy! Dirty boy! And now we have strayed into the PMASB...after dark.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Wait until it opens it's mouth to attack, then fill it with Brine, drowning out the noise! Then take the Bulldoze, activating Defiant, and set up Substitute. Finally use Waterfall and finish this.

We begin this round with MLG sending out his next in line, Katara, the Empoleon. Thrashy opens his mouth and starts a really strong screech, but Katara is...kinda quick and sends a load of salty water down the music boosting it further, causing Thrashy to splutter. Although Katara wasn't hit with the full brunt of the attack, she felt a bit woozy.

Katara waits for her master's orders and is given a quick shake by Thrashy. She's not a fan of this, but doesn't like stats being lowered and increases in power. She then fashions a good lookalike using the chairs and tables...somehow. Doesn't apply logic to this stuff, or I get blinked out of existence.

Snore Warrior, you're up! Male Snorlax with Immunity.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I'm just gonna ask why Bulldoze did 20 damage? Isn't that overkill for a 60 BP attack?

[Oslo]

STAB + Dubstep boost, since it's a Gen V move. Also super effective.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Aye, but 20 HP? Might just be me, though.

Waterfall! Brickbreak, then Waterfall again.

[Oslo]

Brick Break that Sub away. Follow by Countering her Brick Break and then finish with Attract.

Okay, Snore, start with Flamethrower. Follow with Earthquake and then another Flamethrower.

If he uses Rain Dance, combat it with Sunny Day.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Brickbreak. Then Mixed Mayhem (Hydro Cannon + Giga Impact)!

[Oslo]

Hydro Cannon is a tutor move, not TM/HM.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

So, does this mean I can change? Or that Rossy just has to ref now.

[Oslo]

Uh, sure, you can reissue. This is your only mulligan.

[Rossymore]

Yeah since you attack second, you can change your attacks whenever. Preferably before I start posting up the round.

[Oslo]

I'm pretty sure the rule is that once your commands are in, they're in (with the exception of special circumstances, such as now).

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Aye Oslo is right. Totally forgot about that music, but as 'lo said, my only mulligans.

Your pride should help with the attract, dun let no man tell you what to NOT to do.

Bitchslap it good with Brickbreak! Then finally Maternal Mayhem (Giga Impact + Brickbreak).

[Rossymore]

Huh. Yeah I totally knew that.

Then the tub of (pretty adorable) lard breathed fire on her. Oh, last straw! She went over and smacked him around the face. Beeyatch!

Katara thinks that this will do nicely and sets her crown glowing white. She then charges at Snore, giving him a great big tackle. It might also be a hug, I can't tell. Snore is really surprised by this and is thrown back. He lands on his back with a large thump and struggles to get up. On his way up, he sends a shock-wave to Katara, which hurts her quite a bit. It also snaps her out of her infatuation, not that it helped Snore that much.

I choose Puff the magic Hydreigon! Male with Levitate.

Puff, start with a Red-Hot Rhydon Plushie (biggest Substitute possible + Fire Blast). Follow with Focus Blast.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

How the hell do you built a substitute AND fire a fireblast? Doesn't make sense to me.

Aight, if he takes time to make the sub, Focus Punch it away! If he uses the fire, Swordsdance around very fast to keep yourself protected. Then use Faint attack to dodge the hit and combine it with Ice Fang!

Focus Punch/Swordsdance ~ Faint attack + Ice Fang

[Oslo]

How the hell do you built a substitute AND fire a fireblast?

With solid multitasking skills?
