Merry Christmas you guys I hope you all got what you wanted for the holidays

[Ayeun]

Merry Christmas from the sunny side.

This message was sent while Lilly (Ayeun) sips cosmos by the beach, reclining on a comfy lounge thingi!

Love you all, see you in a few more days!

[Blademaster]

Merry Chriaw fuck I'm late again.

Happy Kwanzaa then. Whatever the fuck THAT is...

[DarkestLight]

Ash. Go ahead and make you challenge

[Greiger]

So then, just a preemptive question. Thanks to the new surge in activity when I get my battles done I am wondering... will any refs have spots open for a potential Safari Zone quest? If there are no spots open right now I'll simply throw my guys into more battles instead.

[Puma]

I'm always open for an exciting Safari! Though you would have to wait until Cynder finished her Safari, because it could get a little crowded with DL and Oslo taking theirs soon as well ^-^

[Greiger]

Sure sure. Just asking around is all.

[DarkestLight]

I'll be reviving mine at the start of the new year :O. Fresh start and all

[Emerald_Gen.3]

I can start one up I've always wanted to be a SZ ref I just need to be focused when I start it up

EDIT: As a matter of fact I'll start one up right this moment I just need the list and I am open for business

[Greiger]

Woot! Also quick question. I read over it and I just need some quick clarification. In the rules it states that while pokemon are participating in a battle or a safari zone they have to exit those activities in order to be allowed to evolve. I was hoping of evolving my Sneasel, and since he was just handed a fainting spell in my battle I was wondering this: Does the battle have to end so I can evolve him or does he simply have to be out of the battle?

[Oslo]

You don't have to wait for the battle to end. Since he fainted, he can evolve now.

[Greiger]

Thanks for clearing that up Oslo!

[DarkestLight]

AH! The SZ list! Uhh Uhh I need emails -I have it complete in Word FINALLY >O PM me refs for it.

[Greiger]

Now I was thinking of heading into a different safari zone... but I guess another noobish question has arrived. Since I'm already in a SZ with Ayeun can I also be in a second? Or can you only take one at a time?

[DarkestLight]

Nope. Only one at a time.

[Greiger]

Nod nod. Good to know then. Just making sure is all.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Alright I'm open for business so anybody who wishes to take an adventure then come sign right up

[BTPoke]

So once again I face Oslo. It's been a while...

WHO WANTS TO PLACE BETS!? xD

[DarkestLight]

Betting on you BT.

[Knight of Time]

Speaking of rematches, seems like once again I'm battling Ayeun.

I can tell she has gotten stronger since that battle she and I first had when I defeated her, but I've gotten stronger too.

This is probably going to be an epic battle, regardless of who wins.

[Greiger]

I bet on Oslo. :V *Throws a thousand gold at Oslo* DON'T LOSE THIS OR I'LL BE REALLY MAD.

[Aura]

Oh hi :3
(I bet on Oslo .__. *sorry BT*)

[DarkestLight]

Yay for Aura

[Puma]

*throws money at Oslo's face*

[Emerald_Gen.3]

I'm betting on BT tbh because if Rosalinda can get off a Skill Swap then Oslo will lose Parental Bond

[Oslo]

lolol I think I might also be betting on BTPoke? I was really crossing my fingers that I'd be matched up against Ayeun or KoT. They're both very strong battlers, but I'd much rather face them than a Mega Gardevoir.

I'm still going to do my best, though! I didn't think my Druddigon would be able to take down BTPoke's Dragonite in the final round of the Dragon tournament and everything worked out, so maybe Polkaroo and I will stumble ass-backwards into a win?

[DarkestLight]

Oh wait. You're using Kanga. :/

Hrm, nope. I won't rescind my bet. I'll just give you Kanga Kudos if you use ONE OF THE CHOSEN ONES correctly

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'm so sorry, I feel like I'm ruining everyone's Christmas, all because I didn't remember I had stated the abilities and names of the Pokemon I gave under the tree. So I'm asking here if those abilities could be nullified. Please, I haven't used those Pokemon in battles anyway yet.

[Underscore]

So I'm back after 'mysteriously' disappearing from ASB for about a year due to a certain calamity on November 2013. I really haven't found much time nor have the leisure to return here because of all the things happening after that. Well anyway, I'm fine now and I just felt like seeing how things have been going around here recently. And since things are still pretty active, I'm joining ASB again! Hooraahh

I'm hoping though that I still get to use my old stats at the Vs Seeker.

And I honestly feel that I'm not really remembered 'cuz I really haven't made much of an impact here. Haha

[Blademaster]

Huh, I never knew we had any Filipinos on TPM.

Welcome back, I suppose. Glad to see you didn't die a horrible death.

[Puma]

Welcome back Underscore! I do remember you in fact, been starting my reffing career with one of your battles amongst others ^-^
Glad to see you're alright

[DarkestLight]

Underscore, what up!

Yeah that's a hell of a harrowing experience, and I hope that you and your loved ones all remained unscathed during it. Has there been a drastic change in your area due to it, or were you fortunate enough to not have it severely uproot your life?

[Underscore]

Our area was, if I could say so myself, the most affected. Try looking it up and see what it is. I probably used up all my luck from my 'Luck Bank' to keep me miraculously safe from it. But I'm alright now. Thanks for asking.

I'm itching for a battle soon but it seems I have to catch up and update myself with all the events. I actually have not updated myself with MegaEvolutions much and the Kalos Region. I do remember an XY Giveaway last year since I have some new Pokemon here.

Welcome back! Great to see you survived!

[Knight of Time]

Natural disasters are so uncool...you should have had an Absol there to warn you and your family sooner about that typhoon.

But nonetheless, welcome back! Glad to hear you guys made it out in one piece.

[Underscore]

I'd have probably stoned that Absol to death anyway. Kidding ^^

EDIT:
Oh and we just had a storm last night, the second one this month. But typhoons are like a thing of the Philippines. And don't get me started about the Ring of Fire. Earthquakes.

[Knight of Time]

In the event you defeat BTPoke, and I defeat Ayeun, your wish to face me may be a huge mistake...between you, Ayeun, and BTPoke, you're the only one whose Pokemon doesn't have a type advantage over Sabre, but I just wanted to make a little correction here...I'm not a very strong battler, I'm actually an extremely strong battler now.

I'm trying to make my strength as high as a certain British man's IQ...aka Mark "The Beast" Labbett, the ultimate trivia master (IMO). Seeing how well he performs on The Chase (he rarely loses in the Final Chase, which determines whether his opponents win their banked money or not) inspires me to keep increasing my limitless strength.

[DarkestLight]

I had some friends there during its initial landfall last year, so I knew what you meant when Blade said Phillipines. Good to hear thibgs are on the mend for you.

Uhh yeah, you can use all of your old stuff. Take sone time ask the questions ya need-all of Gen 6 is finally catching up with us and weve had a bit of a revival ourselves, thanks to Ayeun.

[BTPoke]

Pain Split strat is best strat

[Underscore]

So btw, how are the gyms here? The Tower of Ascended is a little bit unupdated, not to mention that I can't even find it apart fro it being linked in the Rules thread.
