Emperor_Evulz vs hopeandjoy

Use Rock Smash to break though the Stealth Rock until the Stealth Rock is gone, and then use Facade. If you managed to break though the rocks on the first action and used Facade on the second action, use Scald on the third.

Fluffy doesn’t waste any time. With a little concentration, he summons a trio of shards of mysterious floating rocks, which he sets into motion in a lazy circle around him. He peers out from his protective shields, cutely daring his opponent to come at him. For her part, Wotter is content to watch the rocks cycle in their perpetual motion, gazing as their jagged forms alternately hide and reveal her crush’s form. He looks so cute when he’s brooding, right? Or is that not the right word? Who cares?

Not Fluffy, that’s for sure. He settles down, confident that his powers will protect him, and proceeds to just chill for a while, daydreaming about being big and strong someday. Wotter stares at him in disbelief. Is he just ignoring her? But she didn’t even do anything wrong! Maybe she should get him to pay attention. Her fist glows with an energy that thrums to the rhythm of her heart, and once she’s darted forward she slams it into Fluffy’s guards with more strength than her little shape would suggest. The attack smashes one of the rocks to rubble, then continues on to provide the same favor for another in the same blow. The jagged edges cut a little into her skin, but she grins anyway at having accomplished this.

A blue eye cracks open at the sound of pebbles clattering to the road. Deciding it’s nothing to worry about, Fluffy lets himself relax some more, and more energy returns to his limbs. Wotter frowns at this. Didn’t he just see that she can punch his stuff? Maybe he needs a repeat performance. Her fist glows again, and the last shard of Stealth Rock is pummelled out of existence. This time Fluffy does notice, and he finishes his chilling session by getting to his feet, ready to get back into the fray.

Actions: attracted ~ Rock Smash ~ Rock Smash


Arena Notes:
- The battle is taking place on a lonely road.

Calculations:
- Fluffy’s health: 71%
- Fluffy’s energy: 58% - 3% (Stealth Rock) + 10% (Chill) + 10% (Chill) = 75%
- Wotter’s health: 63% - 4% (Stealth Rock) - 2% (Stealth Rock) - 2% (Toxic) = 55%
- Wotter’s energy: 69% - 3% (Rock Smash) - 3% (Rock Smash) = 63%

Other Notes:
- Fluffy outspeeds Wotter (50 > 35).
- I’m interpreting Stealth Rock as summoning three shards, since it costs 3% energy.
- The first Rock Smash would have lowered Fluffy’s defense, so it broke two shards instead of one.
- Questions or concerns? Let me know.

Let's use Aqua Jet to attack first next action. Then use Water Pulse followed by Scald. If Fluffy Protects, Chill. If Fluffy tries to status you more, use Protect.

Now that you're nice and rested sweetie, use Magnet Rise and leap over her onslaught, then while floating blast her with Shock Wave and leap down on her with Rock Smash

Before Fluffy can react, Wotter rockets through the air, propelled by a high-pressure jet of water, and slams into him. Fluffy grumbles at the impact, doing his best to stay upright on the slippery road, and while she skips back he shakes the droplets from his plating. Maybe she needs to see who’s above who? Or something. That sounded better in his head. With some careful concentration, he rises to a comfortable height above the road, letting his magnetic field separate him from the planet’s.

He considers his feat with some measure of pride. If this is what electricity can do, maybe he can utilize it just as well for attacking? Manipulating his magnetic field again, he fires off a series of electric pulses, which hone in on Wotter with unsettling accuracy. She chatters angrily at the attack, brushing her fur back into place from where it had been ruffled. What a jerk! If he wants to play with pulses, she’ll give him pulses. A blast of water thrumming with sound slams into the Aron, disorienting him briefly as the noise rings in his ears.

Fluffy, dripping wet, shakes himself. This is no time for distraction, he thinks, and promptly dips down to drive his foot into her body. The force is enough to make her shell crack a little, and Wotter grumbles at the wanton destruction of personal property. She concentrates, and a second Water Pulse bursts outward from around her body, slamming into Fluffy and soaking him further. They glare at each other for a moment, with Wotter suppressing a shudder as poison courses through her veins, when suddenly …

“It’s really a nice night when there’s no caterwauling, isn’t there?”

“Officer, do you even know what ‘caterwauling’ means?”

“No, but it sounds unpleasant, so I’m using it to describe the hypothetical situation.”

“I’d make a comment on that, but I don’t think it’d be worth the demotion.”

“Smart kid.”

The battlers flee the scene. Some time later, the ref leads them into an abandoned warehouse, with only the occasional tool disrupting the otherwise empty space. The Aron and the Oshawott, take in their surroundings, noting that only a grimy window and a flickering light bulb prevent total darkness from overtaking the scene. The quiet dripping of the leaky roof provides a rhythm to segue into the next round of the battle, and the battlers await their next orders.

Good work my dear, now, show her your inner gentlemen and Captivate her, then hit them from afar with Shock Wave, and float over to her and nail her with Reversal. If at any point she tries to protect, use Hone Claws

Captivate/Hone Claws ~ Shock Wave/Hone Claws ~ Reversal/Hone Claws
 
Take the Captivate and use Razor Shell, then Protect and use Aqua Jet to avoid the Reversal.

The lighting is dim, but that doesn’t discourage Fluffy. He floats over to Wotter, who leans away to avoid an expected attack … but she finds herself a little puzzled when he strikes an intriguing pose, with his deep blue eyes like pools of beauty looking into her soul. A little flustered, she grips her shell, deciding to do something that doesn’t require a lot of concentration: with a quick motion, she jumps up and slices across his faceplate, making him float back from the force. She nods to herself, pleased to have caused so much damage.

Fluffy growls, and his mood isn’t much helped when she sets up a translucent green shield. What does she think she’s doing, hiding like that? Well, no matter. He rubs his little legs together, sharpening his feet into resemblances of points. From behind her Protect, Wotter watches his face in trepidation. What is he thinking about? She doesn’t really like the systematic way he’s Honing his Claws. Might want to be careful …

Indeed, as soon as she drops her shield, Fluffy — having floated back to the ground at this point — charges forward, channeling his growing tiredness into a strike that reflects his mood. Having anticipated this, Wotter darts out of the way in a burst of water, making Fluffy skid as he looks around in confusion. Eventually he catches sight of her, and the two stare each other down as the battle starts to really take its toll on them.

Rain patters on the roof above. For a moment, neither battler moves, looking for some opening to exploit, knowing that this is the end for one of them.. Then Fluffy rears up on his hind legs, braces himself, and slams his feet down into the floor. The force of the blow sends cracks running through the cement, breaking it up and sending it tumbling toward Wotter. She blanches just before the stone slams into her, knocking her down and leaving her breathless. It’s only for a moment, though, and soon she’s back on her feet, waving her paws around her body dramatically to summon a curtain of shifting, frothing water, much like the aquatic energy now raging inside her. Propelling herself, she springs at Fluffy with just as much force as he used moments before. When she hits him, the water explodes outwards, washing forcefully over him. She skips back, pleased to see him blinking and dripping wet as he wonders what just happened.

Coming to himself, Fluffy snorts. He isn’t sure he can last much longer, not from another one of those water attacks. Still, he has to try. Slamming against the floor again, he sends another tide of rocks clattering toward Wotter, who grimaces at the new onslaught. She recovers soon enough, cloaking herself in water again and ramming herself into him. While he lies there, she withdraws, watching as he trembles to hold on, trying not to pass out … and he doesn’t. Shakily, he climbs to his feet, to Wotter’s shock. How can this be? Shouldn’t he be unconscious by now? His rocky body can’t be that tough, can it?

Though he’s weathered a lot of damage, Fluffy grins beneath his mask, tired but excited. He’s got this in the bag now! For a third time, he cracks the surface of the floor even more, making it jagged and full of holes, and sends another wave of rocks crashing into Wotter. She wobbles, struggling to stay upright, but she forces herself to keep it together. Just a little longer, she thinks. For a third time, she slams into him with all her watery power, crashing like the waves of the tsunami itself, drenching the entire warehouse with the sheer volume of liquid as it bursts upon contact. The trainers and ref find themselves wringing water out of their clothes, dripping uncontrollably. In the middle of a small, wet crater, Fluffy lies unconscious, decisively brought down by the onslaught.

Wotter grins, triumphant. Even the poison pulsing through her doesn’t bring her down. She wobbles a little, stumbling near the edge of unconsciousness, but nevertheless she prepares herself as Fluffy is recalled.
