Gerard sends out his mons, Flora sends out and acts, Gerard acts, etc.

Éponine, Karma, it's your turn to shyne!

Oof, that Karma is going to be a toughie for my team!

Go Dahlia the Monferno and Violet the Haunter!

Alright, this is going to be pretty much beat one guy up at a time while fending for yourself. I don't even think you girls are even good double partners, but oh well, we need counters!

Dahlia, begin by Taunting Éponine since we don't want to be distracted by annoying support moves! This does mean you're open to attacks however... so Violet, I want you to try to Hypnotize Karma as fast as possible, as soon as possible. You have a Speed boosting nature and you will always move first outside of the foe's priority moves, so you have nothing to fear. 77% accuracy is wonderful.

However, Violet, if you fail to Hypnotize Karma at the first action, try it again at the second action! Karma must fall asleep! Dahlia, you should focus on that dangerous Karma next time around! Show her you mean business with a smashing Close Combat! Violet, if you didn't need to use Hypnosis this action, give Karma a nice doze of 100% Toxic!

Here's the last set of orders girls! Dahlia, keep pummeling Karma with Close Combat! Violet, show Karma your nasty Venoshock! That should wrap things up.

Éponine's Psychic may hurt, but we can hold that thought out until we eliminate Karma!

Dahlia: Taunt Éponine - Close Combat Karma - Close Combat Karma
Violet: Hypnosis Karma - Toxic Karma/Hypnosis Karma if distracted or missed - Venoshock Karma

OK, this is gonna be hard, Éponine since you can't use your amzing support for at least 2 rounds (you will get magic coat pretty soon) we're gonna have to actually use your mighty streanght, first use your Psyquic power against that ugly ghost, don't be afraid is not like he can harm you with his spooky attacks, then Karma will try to use avoid being put to sleep, just don't look directly at him, if the hypnosis fails use Dragon Claw on Violet

Then you'll use AncientPower against the ugly monkey that insulted you in the previous round so you coudn't use you full powers so you're gonna try to hurt him (and since you're on it you still have the 20% chance to increase all you stats), then Karma which should be sleep by now will have a nice dream (if you're awake use another Dragon Claw against Violet)

Use another Psyquic but now against Dahlia to make sure hi pays for the damage he has done to my little Karma, if you manage to get the reduction in SpD it would be awesome, Karma might be still sleep, but if he regains consciousness then use a big Hydro Pump agains Dahlia, that b*tch has to pay for all the damage he has done to you in this round

Éponine: Psyquic (Violet) - AncientPower (Dahlia) - Psyquic (Dahlia)
Karma: Dragon Claw (Violet) - Dragon Claw (Violet) - Hydro Pump (Dahlia)

Two battlers, one an experienced veteran, another a newcomer to the battling scene, met at the Valley of the Dolls for their duel. Flora chose her Haunter and Monferno; Gerard, Togepi and Shelgon. Haunter certainly proved its worth by keeping the Shelgon from being effective, and dealt some damage to it as well. However, it took some serious damage, mostly from Togepi. Togepi managed to deal some damage to Monferno with its Ancientpower. Finally, Monferno dealt an all-out assault, with its two Close Combats inflicting serious damage on Karma. Why it didn't put serious dents in Togepi, this referee can only wonder...

Little mistake, Dahlia should have 75 HP and Vilolet 60 HP...

Ok, Karma, you will remain sleep a little bit more, so rest while you can, you still have a fierce battle ahead of you, Eponine, you on the other hand should remain active, use another Psyquic against Dahlia that should make her easier to deal with

Karma, now the action begins, you're fresh and you'r attacks are really gonna hurt againt that tired ghost, you better attack him while you can with another one of your powerful Dragon Claws, make sure you son't directly at his eyes and everything will be fine, Epo, you really want to eliminate that monkey, use another AncienPower, if we're lucky we'll get a powerful bonus

Finish the turn with a powerful Hydro Pump, but now instead use it to hit Dahlia, she's weak and i'm sure you can finish her, Eponine will continue to use another Psyquic against that monkey, nothing should stop you from eliminating her now

Éponine: Psyquic (Dahlia) - AncientPower (Dahlia) - Psyquic (Dahlia)
Karma: Dragon Claw (Violet) - Dragon Claw (Violet) - Dragon Claw (Dahlia)

PS: remember all of the secondary effects are doubled with togepi (ancientpower, psyquic, flamethrower, etc...)

^ agreeing with the correction.

Okay, let's start with Violet. Looks like he's falling for our little trap! Begin by Disabling any use of Psychic from Éponine! This should leave him rather harmless for the round! Afterward, start putting some damage on that pitiful Karma with a Shadow Ball! Wrap up by plaguing Éponine with a healthy doze of Toxic!

For you Dahlia, it's rather simple. To stop the Close Combat chain, give Karma a nice, fancy Acrobatics, then beat that shell up with another Close Combat! For the last action, I want you to wait to get hit by that Dragon Claw aimed at you and Counter the attack (negative priority). That should wrap things up quite nicely!

Violet: Disable (Éponine's Psychic) - Shadow Ball (Karma) - Toxic (Éponine)
Dahlia: Acrobatics (Karma) - Close Combat (Karma) - Counter (Karma)

EDITING: I need a sub. If Karma faints somehow, Dahlia uses Close Combat (Éponine) for the last action.

OoC: My sincerest apologies for being so late; several factors, not the least of which being the loss of Internet access, coincided over the past couple of days and choked off my activity. I assure you, it will not happen again.

Round 2 was certainly more of a slugfest than the first. Surprisingly enough, even though more damage was dealt, only half of the moves executed were direct attacks. Gerard's plays were all offensive, but Flora's plays were designed to minimize damage sustained and knock out Karma... and it certinaly worked. However, Eponine looks to be a threatening foe: It's at full HP and has +1 in every stat due to a lucky Ancientpower. Will it prove to be a driving force throughout the rest of the battle?

Mmkay, thanks for updating Terrador!

This is going to be messy and incredibly painful, but let's hope for the best, girls!

Dahlia: Dig (evasive) - Unburrow and Overheat (Gavroche) or Close Combat (Eponine if Follow Me is used) - Overheat (Gavroche)
Violet: Shadow Ball (Gavroche)/Venoshock (Eponine if Follow Me is used) - Explosion

Gavroche, you really need to protect yourself for the upcoming rounds, so use Reflect, you should protect eponine, those CC will be less treathening, Epononie, make sure to encore that shadow ball, this might seem weird but you'll see what gonna happen

then use follow me to get that shadow ball to hit you instead of gavroche, and those CC will be less treathening now, meanwhile, Gav. will then use Psyquic againt Violet, that should be enough to remove more than half his health so she's gonna be less treathening

Next turn, Epo, you'll use Follow Me again, CC will hurt but at least by now Violet will be dead by our second Psyquic, and Dahlia's defenses will be crap

Éponine: Encore (Violet) - Follow Me (Both) - Follow Me (Both)
Gavroche: Reflect (...) - Psyquic (Violet) - Psyquic (Violet)

can i know what happened this round? O.O

Same here. Did the Psychic really do 47 damage to Haunter? I'd think it'd be 2 hits, not 1. So Monferno should keep 56 HP.

The thing is that Haunter used Explosion, because Encore (a Normal-Type move) doesn't hit Haunter (a Ghost/Normal-type Pokemon); therefore, the Gavroche's final Psychic was redirected to Dahlia automatically. That, and the Explosion did a hefty amount to Dahlia. Hence her heavy HP loss this round. Sorry I didn't document or flavor it properly; I could barely stay awake. There were also a couple of SDef drops and a brace of crits; it was a crazy round.

I'm sorry but i'm pretty sure encore hits ghost type pokes since it's not an Attacking or Status move (just like Entrainment (Normal Type Move) can be used vs Chandelure (Ghosth type poke), the same with Helping Hand and Mean Look/Block)

This would have done Shadow Ball to be used against Eponine and Gavroche 2HKOing Violet

Agreeing with Gerard. Encore can target Ghost-types.

Well... shit. I'm going to have to entirely re-ref that round, then. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH I SHOULD KNOW THIS SHIT BY NOW I'VE BEEN PLAYING POKEMON FOR MORE THAN A DECADE RASDFASDFASDFASDFASDF.

I'm going to re-ref this fairly early tomorrow (read: about 20 hrs from this post tops).

Finally doin' it rite.

There we go. Thanks for bearing with us, Terrador!

Letting Marigold get some spotlight.

There's no need to thank me; if anything, I should be thanking you. I'm only glad that we managed to sort it out.

Ok we really need to finish that little flower, but first is first, Gavroche, you'll use Psysock against Dahlia, the Psyquic against her again, and another Psysock if the monkey is not down, if not use Psyquic against Marigold

For you Eponone, you'll use Flamethrower against Mari, then Psyquic against that Dahlia to finish her off, continue with another flamethower vs roselia afterwards

Éponine: Flamethrower (Marigold) - Psyquic (Dahlia) - Flamethrower (Marigold)
* Use Encore if Mari uses Sleep Powder
Gavroche: Psyshock (Dahlia) - Psyquic (Dahlia) - Psyquic (Dahlia)
* If Dahlia use Dig evasively, then attack Mari, the same if she goes down

I wonder if I can twist those words into something bad...

Dahlia, you're still full of yumminess. Taunt Eponine as fast as possible! Then, I guess you can just chill for a bit. End with a wild Close Combat bashed onto Eponine.

Marigold, with Eponine Taunted, you don't have to worry about being Encored. Sleep Powder Gavroche. If it misses, use it again on the second action. Afterward, help take down Eponine with your Venoshocks, but if she's down, attack Gavroche with Shadow Balls!

Dahlia: Taunt (Eponine) - Chill - Close Combat (Eponine)

Marigold: Sleep Powder (Gavroche) - Venoshock (Eponine) - Venoshock (Eponine)
Sub Sleep Powder (Gavroche) over Action 2's Venoshock if it missed (CHANCE SUBSTITUTION)
Sub Shadow Ball (Gavroche) over Venoshock if Eponine is KOed (KO SUBSTITUTION)

(i've just learned from RD that you can have 1 of each; there's an attack substitution too but i don't see the need for it)

I've been really horrible about updating. If you want a subref, go right ahead - I don't mind at all.

I'd like to know what happened if possible. If Duosion received a 3 action sleep, then it would only be Togepi who can be on the offensive. How did it both do 25 damage to Roselia AND do 56 damage to Monferno?

Hmm well, the Roselia part is the most understandable now that I think about it, but 1 Psychic from Togepi can't do 56 damage to Monferno.

I'm also fine with no flavor in the reffing, just calcs laid out please.
