Meursault vs The Omskivar

[nastypass]

Ha ha! Our opponent has miscalculated twice! One Bite should only do 2% to the sub!

Calm Mind ~ Dazzling Gleam ~ Draining Kiss

at least, I hope I've done the math right on that...

Round Four​

Meursault (Oo)
@ Whipped Dream
Schwyz (F) Unburden / Sweet Veil
Health: 63%
Energy: 71%
Status: Composing herself. Has a Substitute (3%). Def +5, SpA +1, SpD +1.
Commands: Calm Mind ~ Dazzling Gleam ~ Draining Kiss

The Omskivar (Oo)

Drogon (M) Strong Jaw
Health: 80%
Energy: 63%
Status: Wanting to rip the Substitute to shreds. Att +1, Spe +1.
Commands: Bite/Hone Claws ~ Bite/Stone Edge/Hone Claws ~ Bite/Stone Edge/Hone Claws

The tattered Substitute flutters in an icy breeze. Drogon, not liking the way it grins at him, lunges forward, fangs bared in preparation. Teeth rip into it ... but the thickness of the cotton impedes his destructive progress, and he comes away having only done minimal damage. Schwyz rolls her eyes at the display, but nevertheless she settles into the snow and clears her mind. Her mental faculties, previously shaken by the sudden Roar, rise to a level of enlightenment.

Drogon, not to be deterred, comes after the Substitute again. Once his gnashing jaws come away a second time, the construct is again little worse than a wear, though it literally hangs by a thread. Knowing that her protection won't last much longer, Schwyz concentrates her power: her fluffy body glows brightly, then flashes in a dazzling array of color.

Drogon’s eyes are seared, and he hisses as the afterimages pound into his brain. Reflexively, he lunges forward again, this time ripping the Substitute apart in a satisfactory shower of content with fangs that seem particularly sharp. Schwyz sticks her tongue out in distaste as she views the damage. Once the construct has vanishes, she jumps over and smooches him, pulling health into herself like a strangely adorable vacuum. Drogon’s arms flail around, and eventually he manages to push her off with a growl. What is with her and kissing?

Arena Notes:
- The snow continues to fall. On the ground, it’s 8 inches deep.

Calculations:
- Schwyz’s health: 63%
- Schwyz’s energy: 71% - 2% (Calm Mind) - 3% (Dazzling Gleam) - 2% (Draining Kiss) = 64%
- Schwyz's Substitute: 3% - 1% (Bite) - 1% (Bite) - 7% (Bite) = -6%
- Drogon’s health: 80% - 18% (Dazzling Gleam) - 12% (Draining Kiss) = 50%
- Drogon’s energy: 63% - 4% (Bite) - 4% (Bite) - 4% (Bite) = 51%

Other Notes:
- Drogon outspeeds Schwyz (58 > 49).
- Substitute isn’t affected by defensive stat changes. yes it is
- The third Bite was a critical hit.
- Questions or concerns? Let me know.

Next Round:
- Meursault commands

- Substitute isn’t affected by defensive stat changes.

baaah i'm like 80% sure that's not how it works in-game, and certainly isn't a reffing choice i would have made, but such is the price of my hubris in that post i suppose. oh well.

We have the clear advantage regardless, Schwyz! Keep up the pressure with more Draining Kisses. If Drogon puts up a substitute or double team, Dazzling Gleam until that's gone. If he protects, Double Team for 3 clones.

Draining Kiss/Dazzling Gleam/Double Team (3 clone) x3

 

[Totodile]

Actually I looked again and you're right, stats do affect Substitutes. This affected the reffing obviously, so Meursault can redo their commands if they want.

 

[nastypass]

I'll keep those commands.
EDIT: Just assume I'm using those commands regardless of how the reffing is edited.

 

[The Omskivar]

Was Strong Jaw taken into account?

 

[Totodile]

It was. But Fairy's resistance to Dark was also taken into account.

 

[The Omskivar]

Oh CRAP I am just dropping all the balls right now (in my defense I still haven't played Gen VI)

okayokayokay um well let's throw up a Sandstorm, there's nothing in the arena description that says it won't work. Attract at long last, the repeated kissing should help you there somehow. Probably. Doesn't matter. Poison Fang after that; if you can somehow tear off some cotton while biting, that would be awesome. Or poison the cotton. Something.

Commands: Sandstorm ~ Attract ~ Poison Fang

Time to wear her down, Drogon thinks. With a little concentration, he locates the earth buried under the snow and pulls it up in a rush of grainy soil. Wind whips around as the dirt spins faster around them, blowing the snow everywhere in a rush of dirty white. Even the flakes falling from above can hardly be seen as the Sandstorm clears the hilltop, making it ever so slightly difficult for the trainers to see. Schwyz, less than pleased with this development, trudges her way through the sand to kiss her foe again. Though much of the dirt gets in the way, making her struggle not to cough, she manages to pull more health out of him before he shoves her away.

Drogon rubs his chin. As a dinosaur, this is rather difficult to do, but he manages. She wants to kiss? Then she’ll get a reason for kissing. He cracks a roguish grin, the sort of grin that speaks of the devil-may-care attitude of a bad boy just on the verge of being good. Schwyz stares in awe at this sudden change, wondering why he suddenly looks so devilishly handsome. She gazes at him, previous order forgotten, as is the sand that whips around her.

Excellent, Drogon thinks. Time to hit her some more. He leans in, baring his fangs, and bites down to inject Schwyz with an inner poison. As before, the cotton gets in the way, but the sharpness pulls some of it off, and it drifts off in the Sandstorm. Schwyz pays this no mind, mistaking the attack for a love bite. He must really like her! A little rough for her tastes, but if it makes him happy, that’s great.

[The Omskivar]

Alright we're not doing the greatest but we can keep on doing it

Drogon I want you to use Hone Claws twice and then Fire Fang, burn all the cotton you can. If there's another Substitute up, use Iron Head instead until it's gone, and if there's a Protect, use Hone Claws.

Hone Claws/Iron Head~Hone Claws/Iron Head~Fire Fang/Hone Claws/Iron Head

 

[nastypass]

burn all the cotton you can

enough

Schwyz, I want you to get over this dino boy this instant. You two aren't even the same egg group! I'm sorry, but it just won't work. Look, he's even trying to burn up your beautiful cotton defenses yet again! Why don't you just light a nice scented candle or some incense, and try to clear your head a bit. Start off with Aromatherapy, and try to slow him back down with a Cotton Spore. Finish off by changing the weather to something a little more favorable with a Rain Dance. If you find yourself unable to can because he's just ~so hot~ or whatever, delay your commands.

The soil continues to buffet the battlers. Drogon, making sure he has Schywz’s attention, slowly rubs his claws together, making them grow sharper as he grins devilishly. For her part, Schwyz isn’t impressed. It’s a little creepy, actually. Why would acting like a serial killer be sexy? Even though he’s really cute, but still. Deciding to show him how flirting really goes, she releases a calming scent that lingers in the air around her. She breathes it in, letting it clear her mind and soothe her body, before it dissipates in the Sandstorm. When she opens her eyes, she stares in disbelief. Really? She was swooning over him? Lame.

Drogon grins, evilly this time. As before, he makes sure she can see the points of his claws get even sharper as he hones them with predatory precision. Schwyz shudders at the display, not liking the idea of him getting his claws into her. Better slow him down, then. A flurry of cotton spores float toward him, sticking to his scales and making him inappropriately fluffy. He looks down at the offending stuff, feeling some more dismay as the sandstorm around them dies down into an inoffensive layer of soil on the ground.

Schwyz is still up for some more action, though. She starts dipping and weaving in an intricate dance, calling upon the clouds above to grow ever thicker and precipitate. The clouds oblige … in the form of casting down great swaths of hail that pummel the battlers and the indignant trainers. The Swirlix just has enough time to bemoan the unintended result when she winces, as Drogon chomps down on her with fiery fangs with considerably more gusto than usual, burning away some more of her cotton. Then she winces again as the hailstones smack against her cotton-covered body. Drogon grins at her distress, even as a hailstone smacks him between the eyes.

wow oops i forgot this til now my bad

Arright Schwyz, the first half of our victory is in sight. We're gonna dazzle the everloving heck outta this dino kid today. The goal is to get off two Dazzling Gleams so he's in range for the hail to ko. If he Protects, Calm Mind instead. If you are able to attack on the third action and you've already landed two Dazzling Gleams, go for a Draining Kiss.

Even as hailstones bounce off the battlers’ heads, Schwyz concentrates. With a burst of sparkling light, she dazzles Drogon, enough that he has to blink a few times to regain his bearings. His lip curls in distaste. Now isn’t the time for subtlety, he decides. With a snarl of defiance, he sinks his teeth into her, injecting a potent venom into her bloodstream. Relishing in her cry of pain, he stumbles back, hoping to get his bearings. Maybe he can get in a parting shot before—

Schwyz dazzles him again, without fanfare. Drogon’s eyes roll into the back of his head as the last of his strength leaves him, and he collapses into a scaly pile at her feet. His last conscious thought is that he really, really hates puffy things. When he grows up, he should outlaw them. Or something. As for Schwyz, she’s just relieved to have taken her opponent down, even though a throb of pain dims her mood as the poison works its way into her system.

[The Omskivar]

Alrighty then, let's get Rerun out there!

You've got a sizable Speed advantage, so get in close and fire off a Zap Cannon. Then, Charge Beam until you get the stat boost. Then just keep Thunderbolting away. I'm feeling uninspired. If there's a Protect up, use Meditate.

Zap Cannon/Meditate~Charge Beam/Meditate~Charge Beam/Thunderbolt/Meditate

 

[nastypass]

First things first: Aromatherapy, and drop your Whipped Dream on the same action to activate Unburden; I don't think that should take an action on its own but if it does we can clip our last one and make that a combo. Follow that up with a Yawn, and then kiss the baby to bed.

Schwyz (F) Unburden / Sweet Veil
Health: 32%

Rerun (M) Static
Health: 100%

Status: Ready to tussle.
Commands: Zap Cannon/Meditate ~ Charge Beam/Meditate ~ Charge Beam/Thunderbolt/Meditate

Schwyz only has a moment to enjoy her success before her next opponent is sent onto the field. Rerun takes in the situation, noting the puffy Swirlix, the hailstones bouncing all around, and the general signs of struggle that have scraped up the landscape here and there. Having received his first commands, the Elekid is eager to jump into the fray.

He darts in, forming a massive ball of electricity between his little claws. His arms shake a little as the ball grows, positively sizzling with electric charge, but he manages to chuck it in Schwyz’s direction. She only has time to widen her eyes, and then the Zap Cannon slams into her, sending her sprawling in an awkward heap. The currents wreak havoc on her nervous system, making her muscles spasm in strange and painful ways.

Shaking, she does her best to calm herself, releasing a familiar sweet scent that soothes her aches. Even the burning in her veins fades as the chemical works its magic. With a grunt, she gets up and considers her Whipped Dream, which lies nestled in her cottony shield. It hasn’t really helped much as far as she can tell, so she ditches it without further thought. Without the item burdening her, she feels much lighter, like she can keep up with her lightning-quick opponent.

In fact, she can get in another move right away! Her mouth opens wide, and she yawns widely, scrunching up her eyes to look as sleepy as possible. Rerun, though indignant that the effects of his awesome electricity were practically ignored, can’t help but be transfixed at the sight of sleepiness. A suggestion that he should do the same takes hold in his mind, but even as the specter of tiredness begins to weigh down on him, he focuses himself, resolving to get in some hits before he falls asleep. Another ball of electricity forms between his hands, although this one is much smaller. Volts of electricity leap around the ball in an undulating orbit, and as he fires the attack at his opponent, some of those volts are absorbed into his skin, fueling his inner charge.

Schwyz sags, just a little. She’s not sure how much more of this she can take, so she’d better replenish her health to be safe. As with Drogon before him, Rerun finds himself assaulted with a deep, strangely comfortable kiss, and it takes a moment for him to shake off the dizziness as some of his health siphons into her. With a grumble, he summons a bolt of lightning to strike her down, and he takes some pride when she doesn’t immediately get back up again. His eyes droop as she gets up, and he grins a little at the state of her. He can finish her off, no problem! He just thinks he’ll take a nap first, that’s all. Sleep sounds really good right now ...

Look at him sleeping so cutely~ Pick your item back up (in case you dropping it before you faint means you don't get to evolve? idk) and let's Play Nice with the baby :) A lot

Light Screen if it wakes up and Protects, Safeguard if you already have a Light Screen up. You're gonna faint to Hail or Snore but that's fine. You did good, Schwyz.

Play Nice/Light Screen ~ Play Nice/Light Screen ~ Play Nice/Light Screen/Safeguard

Yeah, you're gonna knock him out the first action so let's just Snore away. If you wake up and she's still there, use Covet instead.
