William is now quite confident in his abilities to take down his whimpy opponent. The Scraggy once again harnesses his dark-type power and fades away into nothingness. Soon the Scraggy has appeared completely unexpectedly behind his opponent, and has delivered a sharp blow to the Litwick’s back. This time, the little candle doesn’t even bother to turn around, and instead focuses on the spot where he knows William will reappear. And as soon as the Scraggy fades back into existence, Umbra uses his mental power to grasp both their life forces, absorbing life force from his opponent to make their respective life forces as equal as possible.

As soon as the attack ends, William finds his energy severely depleted, like he can’t even take any more pain for the time being. He immediately decides to retaliate, striking back by slinking stealthily behind Umbra once again. He strikes the Litwick with Dark-type energy, as has been so effective many times prior. But instead of the standard retaliation, his opponent is just lying there. So he punches Umbra again, just as hard. But as he slinks back to his own side of the battlefield he sees his opponent’s eyes closed completely, dozing off nonchalantly. William decides to not question it; Umbra doesn’t really seem to be getting any healthier, and he’s not getting hurt by his opponent’s lounging—in fact, it’s probably better.

Arena Notes
•Nothing out of the ordinary~

Notes
•…Y’know, it actually crossed my mind to just copy/paste the second paragraph to constitute the round.
•Pain Split hit the damage cap, which I assume exists for that move. If I’m wrong, correct me.
•Curse damage (4% this round) apparently ignores the damage cap, according to how I interpreted the A&A. Again, correct me if I’m wrong.
•Sorry this took so long. I’ll try to be faster for the remainder of this battle.

Next Round:
•LS99 attacks
•Scraggy attacks
•I ref

That is not how PS works in ASB.
The user Increases its health to the enemy's health.

I think you misread it, and I admit the description is unclear. But when that happens one normally defaults to the Games, and I think 'equalize' means the same thing as it does in the Games. But the damage done in this case was stopped by the damage cap, so Umbra couldn't /quite/ equalize it.

No, PS is basically a healing move classified as Special in ASB.
The target of the move is not affected, the user only heals itself until its health is equal to the target's.

EDIT: And isn't Curse supposed to do a stable 10% damage each round?

Hi, popping in to say that Pain Split is most definitely handled the same in the ASB as the games, which is to say that it averages the user's health with the target's.
And Curse is 10% of the user's current health per round.
I'll leave now

Hm. :\
I had interpreted it as the equalization occuring by the user healing itself. I think the description needs to be made slightly clearer.
But in the games, doesn't the battler with the highest health lose health, and the battler with the lowest gain it?

And William should have started the round with 80% health, not 81%.

Did you look at the end of round notes? William lost (in total) 39% health; 35% from Pain Split [which was capped before it hit its full effect] and 4% from Curse [rounded down, ignores the damage cap]. And if you'll notice, Umbra did gain the 35% health, although some of that was quickly depleted by William's Faint Attacks.

...And where exactly did that last one come from? ...did I do something wrong in round 6?

Yeah, you reffed last round that Curse did 9% of damage, not 10%.

And Curse should have done 10% of damage this round, not 4%.

Nonono, Curse does 10% of your CURRENT health—not 10% damage, that's confusing as well, but basically multiply your current health by 0.1 and round down.

It's in the A&A's last 5 pages, trust me.

DQ Warning for LS99.

I'm waiting for an answer in the A&A but it's taking forever :\

I know. Check the last ten pages, it's in there somewhere. I remember. Use the 'search thread' thing.

They only answered the second part of the question, not the first.

Also, apparently Curse halves the users current health, not by 50%.

I've fixed all the previous calculations in light of that. It didn't change anything in the last round.

In the last round, Faint Attack plus Poison did 26% damage but Umbra lost 39%.

derp fixed.

Clear Smog ~ Imprison/Clear Smog ~ Energy Ball

I am bored, so I'm posting actions.

Flamethrower isn't really getting us anywhere, so start out with two Clear Smogs. If you aren't Taunted by the second Clear Smog, use Imprison instead. On the last action, use... Energy Ball I guess?

Taunt~Dragon dance~Chill

Am I allowed to edit my post to input the actions thing?

Okay, go ahead.
