Karkat Vantas vs. Metallica Fanboy V (ref: Squornshellous Beta)

[Karkat Vantas]

Shouldn't Flounder be down to moderate, since you're using Kratos' scale?

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

I don't use Kratos' scale for anything but damage and energy, generally. For statuses and the like I work things out in my own way.

 

[Karkat Vantas]

uuuuuuugh

HRM..........,

His substitute sure is looking pretty pathetic right now, isn't it? He can't construct a new one until you destroy this one, so put it out of its misery and Thundershock.

Once its Sub is down, tell him how you love with him with an Attract of your own! Then get back to Thundershocking him, because SHOCK THERAPY

Thundershock/Attract x3

 

[M&F]

OH BOY, DOES THAT GUY EVEN HAVE ANY IDEA THAT YOU'RE ALMOST TWICE AS FAST AS THAT STUPID FLOUNDER?

FIRST OF ALL, SPIKE WITH TOXIC, SO AS TO MAKE ALL THIS STALLING WORTHWHILE. AFTER THAT, MAKE A 10% SUBSTITUTE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, OTHERWISE USE CRUSH CLAW. AFTER THAT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SUBSTITUTE BECAUSE YOUR 1% SHIT JUST GOT BROKEN, MAKE A NEW 10% ONE, BUT IF YOU DO HAVE ONE, OR YOU DON'T BECAUSE YOU MADE A NEW ONE AND THAT GOT BROKEN TOO, GET YOUR SWAG ON. IF YOU'RE PARALYZED, SET UP TAILWIND INSTEAD.

TOXIC ~ SUBSTITUTE(10%)/CRUSH CLAW ~ SWAGGER/SUBSTITUTE(10%)/TAILWIND

ALSO, IT DOESN'T SAY IN THE END OF ROUND STATS THAT CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK GOT HIS BULK UP BOOSTS

Round 9 Begin!

CAPSLOCK begins the round by starting to draw toxins from within his body, concentrating them into a thick purple muck in his mouth. He shudders at the taste, and then spits it violently at Flounder. Absorbed in thoughts of him, she doesn't see it coming, and it lands right on her face; it soaks through her skin and quickly enters her bloodstream, causing her to quickly feel sick. She's more concerned, though, with the fact that she's been ordered to attack him - attack her beloved? What's her trainer thinking? She looks pleadingly back at her trainer, at which point he reminds her that she's actually attacking the Substitute. She grins, suddenly realizing that it's true, and charges up electricity in her body: she releases it as a small, controlled glowing blast, which strikes the remains of the Rufflet clone and disintegrates it.

CAPSLOCK screeches and then begins again flapping his wings, dislodging far more feathers than he could logically have. Once again, they cloud together to form a smaller, but identical Rufflet. It flaps around a bit and screeches, just in time for Flounder to release another blast of electricity, this one even stronger than the last. The Substitute catches fire, burning itself into ashes in a few seconds.

Now pretty angry, CAPSLOCK glares at Flounder in anger, and then suddenly begins screaming insults at her: how dare she destroy that clone! That was his! What right does she have to do that! At the top of his lungs he continues to shout, but to no avail: she's completely wrapped up in thoughts of him. As it happens she's also too distracted to actually do anything, as well.

Suddenly, out of the sky drops a smallish, red-and-white creature. It hits the ground with a solid thoomp, then rolls over to CAPSLOCK. It glares at him, and clouds suddenly begin to form in the sky - the referee realizes she's learned something about this place, it must have some moisture in the air to allow that to happen. Her musings are interrupted when a massive bolt of lightning tears the sky apart and smashes straight into Capslock, illuminating him and burning away most of his feathers, as well as prompting him to let out an enormous scream. As the Rufflet collapses, unconscious, the clouds clear away and the Voltorb rolls right off the edge of the arena.

With CAPSLOCK gone, Flounder feels her bizarre attraction to him fading away.

Let's let it be, Beatle.

First of all, claim to be the walrus. Be confusing and annoying. Your fellows have failed miserably in the art of swag, but you have a whole round to keep trying.

If something's preventing you from landing the Swagger (e.g. Substitute), or if it's in, drop the Ice Fang; if she boosts her stats or drops yours, Psych Up.

Swagger/Ice Fang/Psych Up x3

 

[Karkat Vantas]

Who needs strategy if you have SCALDING HOT ACID??? Scald until he's burned, then Bulldoze.

On the off chance that you aren't under the effects of Swagger when you attack action 1, Bulldoze, followed by a Thunder Wave next action.

Round 10 Begin!

The next Pokémon to take the stage is a smallish, fuzzy-looking dinosaur that has hair covering its underdeveloped eyes. It raises its head and sniffs the air, then turns in Flounder's general direction.

The new combatant charges clumsily in Flounder's direction, tripping over its own feet a number of times, and begins shouting at her. He gives carefully-calculated insults, planned specifically to have the most possible effect; it works, and Flounder flies into an irrational rage, mainly focused on hurting that Deino. She swells and bulges as she produces water inside herself, then opens her bizarre mouth wide and launches a jet of extremely hot water at him, drenching his fur through and through, and leaving his dripping, soaking, and stinging all over.

He growls, then leaps at Flounder. He gathers his energy, draining all the heat from his mouth. As icy energy begins to swirl around, he bites down on Flounder with as much force as he can muster, enjoying the squealing sound she makes as she struggles to escape. As he resolutely keeps hold, she once more produces boiling water, and the radiant heat forces him to release; as he does, she spins round, vomiting another jet of scaldingly hot water onto him. This time, though, it seems even hotter, and his skin quickly burns under the assault; he screeches, a large welt already beginning to form on the back of his neck.

Each time he moves, now, the wound hurts and causes him to wince. He growls, and begins generating more icy energy in his mouth, at the same time using the energy to somewhat soothe his wound. He cautiously moves towards Flounder, carefully avoiding moving his neck where he can help it, and bites firmly down on her side. Though he can't bite with so much force this time, the attack's a lot colder and leaves Flounder numb and shivering for a good few seconds.

As Flounder shivers, a Volbeat suddenly hurls itself up and over the edge of the platform. Straight away it hurtles at Beatle, smashing into his side at massive speeds and hurling him a good three metres. Wincing, it dives back over the edge, just in time for the ref to call the round to an end.

Round 11 Begin!

As the round begins, Beatle raises her head and lets out a long, low call; the ground in front of him begins to ripple and distort, and suddenly rises up into a rougly quadrupedal shape, which quickly resolves into a platform-grey Deino. It looks around, apparently just as blind as its creator, before stumbling clumsily around. Flounder, meanwhile, is drawing chemicals from inside her body, concentrating them into a thick purple muck in her mouth; she spits it at Beatle, but it hits the Substitute clone instead.

Safely hidden behind his clone, Beatle can focus on some buffing. He closes his malformed eyes and begins to cast his mind out, revelling in the almost-sight sensation as he engulfs Flounder's. Flounder's eyes take on a deep pink glow and, had he had them, Beatle's would have too; Beatle feels himself getting stronger in correspondance to the Flounder. As the glow fades away, Flounder prepares to use another pointless Toxic; spitting another glob of horrible muck, she sighs as the Substitute intercepts it once again.

Grinning, Beatle begins concentrating again, and this time a vague red aura begins to form around him. It only lingers for a few seconds before fading away, but Beatle feels decidedly better for it, ready to fight. With a sense of uselessness, Beatle spits yet another glob of goop at the Substitute; predictably, it takes the attack, suffering exactly no ill effects.

Suddenly, a vague speck becomes visible in the sky. As the ref looks up to try and figure out what it is, she realizes that it's getting bigger, very quickly. In a matter of seconds it hits the platform with an enormous thud, the impact sending a shockwave that knocks all three humans off their feet and leaves the quadrupedal Beatle (plus clone) stumbling. The falling thing, revealed to be a blue, lumpy, saurine creature with a massive pink flower on its back, roars its name to the sky; then, turning towards Flounder, its eyes take on a pale green glow. The ground between the two begins to ripple and bulge, and suddenly enormous, thorned vines burst out of the ground, reaching for Flounder. They grab her and begin to tear into her skin, squeezing and crushing her in their massive bulk. It's only really a matter of seconds before the attack ceases, but each of those seconds stretches out to a year for her; when it's all over the vines retreat into the ground, leaving it as flawless as before, and the Venusaur shuffles over to the edge of the platform, leaping off with a roar.

The end of round stats make no mention of Beatle's Substitute; is that still up?

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

Sure is.

 

[M&F]

Ulp, I totally forgot to post commands here.

Well, let's use the protection of the Substitute to blast off. Let her move, then follow it up with Payback. If your Substitute is down, Taunt and resume the Payback. Default to Taunt if you can hit her with that but not with Payback (includes Double Team, excludes Substitute). If you can hit her with neither Payback nor Taunt, Chill.

Somebody's CONFUSED!!!

Okay, I have no idea WHAT THE FUCK TO DO RIGHT NOW!!! So, uh.

Let it chill all it wants. Do nothing, and try to clear your head as long as you're confused.

Once your confusion wears off, Attract it. (Because Attract works on targets with Subs.) Then Chill, if you don't have anything left to do.

Round 12 Begin!

As the round begins, Flounder simply lays down on the platform and closes her eyes, doing her best to empty her mind and rid herself of her troublingly fuzzy thoughts. Beatle, meanwhile, waits for Flounder to make a move; it takes only a few short minutes, though, until he becomes impatient and gives up, instead launching himself at her and, gathering maliciously crackling energy into his mouth and chomping down on the Stunfisk's flat body, though he winces and hesitates halfway through when he stretches out his burned neck.

Releasing her, he once more retreats a few paces and returns to waiting. This time he's determined to wait until Flounder actually moves. He waits, and waits, and continues to wait... his species being an impatient one, it's not actually so long before his patience breaks and he once more goes in to bite down on Flounder. And, shortly, the process repeats itself; in another few minutes, Beatle's chomping on Flounder again, before he eventually releases.

Suddenly, he, like the earlier Pokémon, becomes bathed in a dull grey light. He begins to grow; his neck shrinks, bringing his head towards his body; a strange lump begins to grow on his back, quickly opening and expanding into a huge, wide shape; his skin becomes warty and rough; the light fades away, leaving a Venusaur where a Deino was just a minute prior. Emitting a rumbling growl, he slowly opens his eyes; he nearly leaps up in surprise, realizing he can see! His mouth open in shock, he looks around, revelling in the sensation of sight; he has picked a somewhat boring location to gain sight, though, and quickly becomes bored with the environment, instead turning his focus on the ever-moving Flounder.

[Karkat Vantas]

Unless I'm misinterpreting MF's commands-- Beatle had to WAIT for Flounder to attack, then use Payback, right?

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

And he tried to do that, but since Flounder wasn't doing anything obvious she got impatient and moved anyway. Otherwise he'd be cheated out of three attacks.

 

[M&F]

Note my specific wording -- wait for her move, not for her to attack. Her move was to not make a move, which is still a move.
