IAR vs Maxim 6 ~ DF44 is reffing!

Hello folks! Dogfish44 here, flying on Rawk to give in a live commentry on a shock battle forming on the M56 around Chester! The usual traffic jam isn't here, but it's soon gonna build up. I've got the data on the trainers in advance in this file... RAWK, DON'T YOU DARE DROP THAT FILE!

*grabs file*

ANYWAY, here's the data for today.

Its A Random



IAR Releases his first Pokémon.
Maxim 6 Releases his first Pokémon and declares its attacks.
IAR declares his Pokémon's attacks.
I Ref.

"Ahh, yes. The highway. An arena with a great scope for creativity. Shall we begin? Yes. Firmoise, take your position on that truck over there!"

On a side note, he gains Shell Armour upon entry. Yay...

Oh, this isn't good. And we're liable to get run over. Who the heck approved this arena anyways.

Anyways, out you go Serenity the Togepi

Serenity: Hello friend! :)

Maxim: He's not our friend, he's our enemy.

Serenity: Why must we fight? Can't we all just be friends?

Trainers: NO!

Maxim: Anyways, I want you to start off by Thunder Waving the Grotle so that it starts moving slower than us. Next, come up with a Nasty Plot to make the following Flamethrower even more powerful. However, if he Substitutes, change your actions into Nasty Plot~Flamethrower~Ancientpower

Summary:
Thunder Wave~Nasty Plot~Flamethrower
If Substitute is used A1, use (Nasty Plot~Flamethrower~Ancientpower)

Random had major experience on this particular arena, & he knew that he wasn't about to let up. Firmoise was ready for some roadkill, but Random didn't think Serenity was...

"Well, Firmoise, show this guy that it will take more than just actions to win against me on this arena. Start out with a nice weak 15 HP Substitute & create a decoy to fool the Togepi. While the Togepi is distracted, I want you to hop onto the highway itself & use Superpower precisely on the approaching crappy Prius & topple it over, hopefully sending the car flying over in Serenity's direction & striking it & the car it is on for some massive damage. At this point, both Pokemon will be taking some massive damage from the screeching cars. At this point, I want you to make your way back onto a car, hopefully not a crappy Prius, & fire a Seed Bomb & strike the probably badly hurt Serenity. Show no mercy!"

Summary of Actions:
Substitute (15 HP) > Hop onto the Highway & use Superpower to send a car flying in Serenity's direction > Get back on a car & use Seed Bomb

Sub 15 ~ Highway Jump + Superpower ~ Get back on car & Seed Bomb

VS​

Howdy folks! Bringing you the up to date news is Reporter Dogfish44, flying alongside with Rawk! I hope you can hear me, as the battle begins!

As Firmoise sets up a 15 HP Sub (Footlong (15 HP) Sub / -12 EN), he can watch and become fearful of Serenity's Nasty face - what could it be Plotting (-7 EN)?

: 85/88 ~ 15 HP Sub

It seems as if Firmoise is up to some crazy RP tricks, so Serenity takes the oppurtunity to cast a Flamethrower on the sub (16 Damage / -7 EN). Firmoise's sub shatters, as the turtle leaps up, and launches off a flaming yellow SuperPower (18 Damage / -10 EN / -1 Atk | -1 Def), which knocks Serentiy onto the road as Firmoise backflips onto solid ground. Both parties involved get to learn exactly how fun being hybrid roadkill is (5 Dmg each)!

: 80/78 ~ -1 Atk | -1 Def

Firmoise now jumps onto a Prius, and spins to to shoot a Seed Bomb at Serenity, but the difficulty in jumping, spinning and firing a seed bomb (-7 EN) makes the move miss. At roughly the same time, Serenity is praying to the goddess of hax, and is rewarded as AncientPower (8 Damage / -4 EN) blesses her with... no stat boosts! However, the attack damaged the Prius Firmoise was on, and the car skids to a stop, brinning the middle lane to a screeching halt, as well as flinginh Firmoise onto the middle lane, where he painfully lands upside down (-1 HP). Serenity, however, becomes close friends with a Tanker (10 Dmg).

: 71/71 ~ -1 Atk | -1 Def

Crappy Prius...

VS​

IAR, it's your call!

Hmmm...A nice, even start, but there is still a long way to go. This is why I hate the Toyota Prius, slow, stupid, fragile...Now I'm just rambling, time to cut to the chase...

"Well Firmoise, a nice, solid, even start. First up, I want you to jump onto the back of that Ute (Or a Pickup Truck if you want to be American) over there & use that as an opportunity to spray some Razor Leaves around the place. Continuing on, & I want you to use this Ute/Pickup Truck as a safe haven to launch your attacks from & some protection, launching a Seed Bomb from afar & rounding it up with another round of Razor Leaves. If Serenity tries to Thunder Wave you while you don't have a Substitute up, then respond with a 15 HP Footlong Sub. (No Pun intended)"

Summary of Actions:
Jump on the back of a Ute/Pickup Truck/Whatever you want to call it & use Razor Leaf > Seed Bomb > Razor Leaf
IF Thunder Wave & Substitute not up, THEN Substitute (15 HP)

Well, this wasn't going to end well. Apparently Togepi was getting roadkilled and Its a Random was very experienced at this arena. But two could play at that game.

Alright Togepi, here's what I want you to do. Hop over to that semi-truck over there and use Flamethrower to melt the top off to get into the drivers seat. After that, ram the side of the Ute to run him off the road and deal (hopefully) massive damage. Finish off with another Flamethrower.

Flamethrower (Get inside semi truck)~Use truck to run Ute off the road~Flamethrower
If this roleplaying is declared invalid, use Encore (Razor Leaf)~thunder Wave~Flamethrower instead.

Jump and Razor Leaf ~ Seed Bomb ~ Razor Leaf

VS​

And we start off with Firmoise performing a backflip Jump and firing off a Razor Leaf in the process, striking Serenity (7 Damage / -5 EN). Serenity has her own agenda, and Flamethrowers (-7 EN) the back of a Semi Truck, trying to melt the roof. What WASN'T accounted for was the petrol tank, which ignites and makes a huuge Explosion (28 Damage Serenity / 28 Damage Firmoise), creating a crater in the arena and flinging both participants off the road!

: 43/66 ~ -1 Atk | -1 Def

Both parties try to gather their thoughts, but Flinch from the shock of that bang. Heck, my ears are still ringing...

: 43/66 ~ -1 Atk | -1 Def

Not threatened by automobiles, Firmoise pounds Serenity with a Razor Leaf (7 Damage / -3 EN). The leaves scatter around Serenity, but are turned into cinder when Serenity replies with a Flamethrower (16 Damage / -7 EN)

: 27/63 ~ -1 Atk | -1 Def

VS​

Maxim, your actions! Have more luck please ^_^

That...was interesting.

Okay, that didn't work as planned, so let's try plan B:

Encore (Razor Leaf)~Flamethrower~Flamethrower

"Maxim, I have other ideas, for you don't have a choice over what to encore, due to my speed! So Firmoise, I want you to make yourself encored into chucking crappy hybrids at Serenity with Superpower!"

Summary of Actions:
Chuck cars at Serenity using Superpower x3

VS​

And Serenity's spirit now goes to a place truly serene as a Superpower from Firmoise knocks her out, still remaining off the road (18 Damage / -10 EN / -1 Atk | -1 Def).

: 27/53 ~ -1 Atk | -1 Def

VS​

Maxim only brought 2 Pokemon, so Major Ursa comes out automatically.

"Here comes Major Ursa. Sadly, he's a Taunter, so we won't be putting up some defence anytime soon. So Firmoise, you're stuck on the Highway & there's probably no chance of getting back up onto the higher vehicles...So, hop onto the back of that ute/pickup truck over there first & station yourself as if you were a turret, opening with a round of Razor Leaves. Keep up the pressure with a Seed Bomb, & finish with another round of Razor Leaves."

Summary of Actions:
Jump on the back of a Ute/Pickup Truck/Whatever you want to call it & use Razor Leaf > Seed Bomb > Razor Leaf

don't let him get the advantage Major Ursa.

Launch a Rock Slide into truck to hurt him and force him out of the vehicle~Counter~Scratch.

VS​

Maxim now sends out a Teddiursa, who launches a Rock Slide (11 Damage / -6 EN) at Firmoise, making the turtle flinch!

: 16/53 ~ -1 Atk | -1 Def

Firmoise is quick to recover, particularly seeing as the battle is still on the highway edge, and launches a Seed Bomb (12 Damage / -5 EN). Major Ursa, the army-like Teddiursa, replies with a Counter (18 Damage / -12 EN) to KO!

: KOed

"Well Maxim you askedd for it: Go, Granmarg, the Rock Monarch!"

"He will start on the highway itself...Also, he gains Reckless upon entry, yay..."

"Well, this looks bad, but I have a plan."

Taunt~Counter~Counter
If Rhydon is not taunted during one of your counters, use Close Combat instead.

"Fire in the hole! You are Godzilla! Use the moving cars to your advantage!"

Rock Blast, using cars in place of the rocks, & knock Major Ursa off a car onto the highway > Horn Attack > Stomp

110 HP / 100 EN
Status: -
5 Atk / 5 Def / 2 Sp.Atk / 3 Sp.Def / 34 Speed / 4 Size / 5 Weight
Rock Blast ~ Horn Attack ~ Stomp

VS​

IAR now sacrifices Firmoise and advance summons Granmarg, the Rock Monarh in Attack position (2400 ATK / 1000 DEF). Unfortunately, there are no face down cards to be destroyed, so Major Ursa Taunts (-10 EN) the new mon. The Stone Princess picks up a car and launches it at Major Ursa a la Rock Blast, picking up a Prius that's the equivalent of 2 hits (14 Damage / -5 EN), knocking the Teddiursa onto the road, to be hit by a.... truck (-7 HP), as Granmarg has issues with a Hybrid (-5 HP)!

: 105/95 ~ Taunted (5a)

Granmarg now continues his rage, smashing into Major Ursa with a Horn Attack (12 Damage / -5 EN), but not before a Counter from Teddoursa (18 Damage / -12 EN), which dents the fellow... before they each are in the same lane and get knocked over by a tanker (-10 HP each)

: 77/90 ~ Taunted (4a)

Granmarg now tries a Stomp, which crushed the little Teddiursa under his foot (18 Damage / -7 EN), to which Teddiursa Counters... again (27 Damage / -19 EN). And... it's a Hybrid (-5 HP)!

: 45/83 ~ Taunted (3a)

"Well Maxim, It looks like it's going to be gg now, either way you look at it. Granmarg, use your massive drill to bore through those cars & attack for game!"

VS​

And Granma(rg) finishes this up by spiking Major Ursa with a Drill Run... except he misses (-5 EN)! The Teddiursa retaliates now, with a Mega Close Combat (38 Damage / -40 EN ~ -1 Def | -1 Sp.Def), which hits Granmarg hard and leaves Major Ursa Majorly out of breath. Suddenly, a Tanker smashes into both (-10 HP Each). Granmarg is cleanly knocked out... as a batterred Major Ursa clambers to the side of the highway, bleeding but still alive.
