STAB-Less Tournament!

[DarkestLight]

CT: You missed the P1 Tourney, in which it was a Fighting type exclusive Tournament. That ended only a few days before you returned. We've been pretty good about tourneys and Contests this year.

As for me and picking Normal. I picked it 'cause Normal NEVER gets love. Everyone kinda craps on it, and I wanted to see what I could do with it.

Sides. I don't battle nearly as much as I should. I'm getting worked in all my battle due to my lack of expertise. Fun statistic. In every Tourney I've been in, I've lost in Round 2. So yeah, lets get this party rocking!

[Greyfox]

Alright, we don't seem to generate near as much interest as we did on day one, so I'm gonna go ahead and get round 1 of the tournament going. Here we go:

Bolded names make the topic and say who they're using first; un-bolded names attack first.

Round 1 will be a standard 1-on-1.

Oslo v. Crystal Tears
Fire Field

Mikachu v. MeLoVeGhOsTs
Water Field

Rossymore v. Ayeun
Psychic Field

Mew Master v. DarkestLight
Ground Field

[Oslo]

What do the arenas look like?

[Rossymore]

According to the description on the first post, just a large field that has a strange aura around it pertaining to one specific type.

Also, no one feels like reffing me and Ayeun's battle? On top of that, I can't ref any battles this round. Damn me for not being online at 3am!

[DarkestLight]

:d I was able to best Mewy, and his fire laden folk. WHOO FOR TOURNEYS!

[Mew Master]

DL, is it really any different from when you beat me NORMALLY? And on a fairly consistent basis? -,-

[DarkestLight]

>.> Yes. Because you raised such a stink about my obviously slapped together last minute team; that this win is now more savored. Thank you for igniting some sort of competitive flame in my heart for this Tourney now

[Rossymore]

To be honest, Darkest, you JUST beat Mew and for the entire match Mew had the upper hand until the end.
We'll just see how you fare against me! ...if I actually beat Ayeun...which I've never done yet.

I'm watching you...

[DarkestLight]

I do not deny this. I didn't really have any heart in the match (not your fault Denz, I just was feeling silly and just wanted to play with moves). But, like I said, I have been AWAKENED! THE RAGE SHALL FALL UPON YOU ALL.

Hey, how that grass type matchup going btw Rossy. XD God, love memes.

[Oslo]

I do not deny this. I didn't really have any heart in the match (not your fault Denz, I just was feeling silly and just wanted to play with moves).

Translation: I wasn't even trying and I still whooped that bitch's ass.

[DarkestLight]

Oslo gonna get me pwned next round >.>..

Oh Oslo. No , the hearts have never been the same size in your reffings when I view them, I thought that was on purpose. Yes they are a lil bit smaller than the stars, but I never thought anything about it.

[Oslo]

'Kay, thanks for letting me know. I might still try to do something about it because I like the way it looks in Safari and hate the way it looks in Firefox.

[Mew Master]

>.> 1)Yes. Because you raised such a stink about my obviously slapped together last minute team;2) that this win is now more savored. 3)Thank you for igniting some sort of competitive flame in my heart for this Tourney now

1) Kanga, Clefable, and Lickliky are NOT 'slapped together last minute.' They do scream, 'sweep the tournament!'
2)
3) Don't patronize me...

I do not deny this. I didn't really have any heart in the match (not your fault Denz, I just was feeling silly and just wanted to play with moves).

Oslo sums it up pretty much.

NOTE: *the Mew Master is a bit cranky and will calm down... er... eventually... maybe after a couple of drinks...*

[DarkestLight]

Yeah they are. I was asked why I did not join Tourney. As like all the others, I wait until all interested parties actually join. Seeing an opportunity this time, I jumped on it. Looked at my list, and said "Ohh, havent used Starscream...and I like DARWIN...and OH I just used Raspberry with MLG, lets use him again. O snap that's 3! That was easy."

Slapped together. 2 seconds. Didnt even think about moves or anything. And stop being so mad all the time. You know your beard's blood pressure can't take it. >D

Oslo's being an instigator, which I support for competitive reasons XD.

SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

;D

Honestly, I have no qualms with DL's team. I briefly considered registering with a Normal-type team. *shrugs* Normals are fun to use but are also beatable. IIRC, Kyle used a team of Normals in the Monotype Tourney two years back and Blade beat him using a Fire-type team. It certainly can be done.

Also, Mew, you are probably the biggest abuser of Curse + Pain Split. On top of that, your Gym TM is friggin' Bide. (Not knockin' Bide since I sometimes use it myself; it just has the potential to be hella overpowered in the right situation.) Anyway, my point is that you no get to whine about what should/should not be used. Also, *hug*. Love you man.

[Mew Master]

;D

Bide has saved my bacon more times than I can count. And yes I use curse + pain split because the combo works (and I realized how evil it was before I became a Gym Leader). I do reserve the right to get on DLs case for any reason.

Also, typing a message on a phone is slooooooooooow.

[Oslo]

Mew, I suggest we have an all-Normal battle sometime. Battle of the cookie-cutting Swiss army knives. Shit would get cray.

[Mew Master]

Cool idea.. But I don't have any Normal cookie cutter types.

[DarkestLight]

>> Swiss army knife. Cookie cutter means they'd all be the same >O Carbon copies.

[Mew Master]

Gen 1 Normals kinda are. Clefable, Wigglytuff, Kangaskan...

[DarkestLight]

I'll agree all Moonvelutins are. But Kanga, Snorlax and Lickitung are VASTLY different. I dare say Kanga is probably third Strongest Pokemanz in the game, after Crackpothead (mew) and Snorlax (Damn thing is a Beaaaast).

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Give Ursaring some love dudes. He's the freaking boss of normal types Oh and Granball, raaaawr!

But Kecleon is the absolute bomb

[Oslo]

Snorlax (Damn thing is a Beaaaast).

Preach!

Also, mad Girafarig love. It obviously belongs in a different category than Mew's "cookie-cutters" but I feel like it deserves mention as well. <3

[DarkestLight]

Yes, all mentioned by you two help prove my point. Normals are underrat--OMFG I NEED TO HAVE A BATTLE WITH SOMEONE TO Test something >O!!! >.> Damn, I'd ..Ima try it on mew MWAHAHAHAHAH!

[Oslo]

Oslo offers himself as test battle guinea pig!

[Greyfox]

I propose a trial battle involving Mew and one of the cookie-cutter pogeys. Then we can decide if Mew's broken.

[Oslo]

If we lifted the ban from Mew then does that mean the other uber legends (Mewtwo, Arceus, etc.) would be on the table as well?

[Greyfox]

I'm gonna say no on those ones. Just because, in the anime at least, there's only one of each. Except for Deoxys, but he's still a no.

[DarkestLight]

When I said Mew in previous post, I meant Mew Master >.>..just wana point that out.

[Greyfox]

I know -- just want to quell the argument about Mew in general.

[Mew Master]

@ DL

[Greyfox]

Alright, now that Round 1 has been completed, let's start the Semi-Finals! Second round will also be a 1-on-1, featuring a different pokemon from before. There's also a catch this time around! Your pokemon will each have 150HP/EP instead of 100, so the battles will last a little longer.

Now, the participants for the second verse are as follows:

MeLoVeGhOsTs v Rossymore
Water Field

DarkestLight v Crystal Tears
Poison Field

Bolded names choose their pokemon and make the topic; un-bolded names attack first!

[DarkestLight]

GREEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!!! FIIINALLS! WHAT DO WE DOOOOOOOOOOO?

[Greyfox]

Final round!

Each participant will use the pokemon that hasn't battled yet, with 150HP/EP (same as round 2). However, the arena will be a platform suspended high into the air by supernatural means. On each side of the arena sits four Judgment Spheres, that will allow your pokemon to use the move Judgment. Once a sphere has been used, you won't be able to use it again. When using a Judgment Sphere, you will be able to choose what type the attack performs -- even if the type is the same as your pokemon.

[DarkestLight]

Uh..so Id be able to use judgment? On my squad? Id impose a single restriction, but ill wait til after the tourney has a winner. Good arena

[Greyfox]

I meant just for the battle.

But I might be willing to hand out my TM to the winner if the battle's exciting enough. :3

Now finish my SZ quest!
