Darksong vs. Crazy Linoone

1 vs. 1 single
Style:
DQ: 4 days
Damage Cap: 25%
Banned Moves: OHKO's, moves that recover HP
Arena: The Great Marsh

The Great Marsh is a wet, damp area of flat land that is home to many Water and Ground-types. The grass is wet and soggy. Don't get caught in the mud, or you might have trouble moving! The rain pelting the arena makes water moves do 2% more damage, after all other calculations. The rain also causes Fire moves to do 2% less damage, after all other calculations. There are many shallow puddles in the arena, along with a big, rectangular pond in the middle. The arena is surrounded by trees, and battlers may not go past the forest boundary, but they may use the closest trees in any way that will not severely damage them. The only mud, luckily, is shallow, and makes a sort of border around the pond on all sides except the south. There is also a large, deep patch of mud on the east side. When moves are used in these patches, if they are mud-based (Mud Bomb, Mud Shot, Mud-Slap, Muddy Water), they do 2% more damage after all other calculations. Magnitude and Earthquake, if used in these patches, will have their power decreased by 2%, after all other calculations.
Other: No Pokémon over 30 kilograms in weight, unless they are Flying-type or have the ability Levitate, for they would sink in the mud.

If I may butt in, Scyther is a Flying-type and is apparently exempt from the weight requirement.
 
Okay, then, Kyu, looks like you're the one who fits the weight requirement! Let's go!

First, move into the mud and use your best Mud Bomb. Then, use Toxic, and finish this round with Body Slam.

Move into mud and use Mud Bomb ~ Toxic ~ Body Slam
 
Whoa, there seems to be quite a few bothersome attacks coming at you. Use Toxic first, then Protect so you won't get poisoned. If Toxic misses the first time, use Toxic again. Otherwise, Water Pulse.

ROUND ONE BEGIN!

It was a rainy day in the Great Marsh. The pond in the middle of the arena reflected the bouncing rain drops. The few areas of the field that weren't filled with water or mud were quite muddy. And the referee had forgotten his jacket. Curses. He looked towards the field and saw the two blue Pokemon ready to battle. Crunch was at the northern end of the pond, and Kyu was at the south-western part of the field. The referee waved his checkered flags to begin the round.​

Crunch was first to attack. He opened his mouth. A purple-ish glow began to emanate from his mouth. Kyu looked on with curiousity, but shook himself out of it and crawled over to the mud as quick as possible. As Kyu was getting into the mud, Crunch shot out a massive blob of purple sludge at Kyu. Kyu had shrouded the lower part of his body in mud, but the sludge hit his head. Kyu screeched in pain. He whimpered, but shook off as much as the sludge as he could. Kyu glared at the Totodile, and began to swirl around in the mud. Within moments, he had made a ball of mud. Kyu leaned back and hit it with his head, giving enough force to shoot it towards the Totodile. Crunch was able to get his face out of the way on time, and instead of being hit in the eyes he was hit in the back of the head, launching him backwards a few feet.​

[Crunch: -7H -5E Kyu: -0H -6E; badly poisoned]​

Crunch quickly got up to see what that delicious looking worm was doing. Kyu began to do exactly what Crunch had done only moments before. Kyu leaned his head back, opened his mouth, and a purplish glow began to come from his mouth. Crunch began to concentrate very hard on the space in front of him. Suddenly, a thin light began to flicker in front of him, before finally solidifying into a yellow shield. Kyu, unable to see what was going on, shot out a purple blob, almost identical to the one that Crunch had shot out of his mouth. Crunch continued to concentrate on the air in front of him, making sure his shield would not fade. The sludge hit the shield, unable to get past it, but as soon as it was over, the shield faded.​

[Crunch: -0H -4E Kyu: -0H -5E]​

It had been a long round, and a disappointing one at that for Kyu. He scowled at the Totodile that was single handedly ruining his good time. He began to charge for the small crocodile. Crunch watched this happily. The closer the slug got, the easier it would be to eat, er, use water pulse on him. Totodile opened his mouth and then shot out blue pulses from his mouth, all of them of water. Kyu continued to go through them, as painful as it was. He had to hurt that stupid Totodile! Then, Kyu lunged himself at Crunch, knocking both onto the ground. Kyu grinned evilly.​

[Crunch: -7H -5E Kyu: -6H -6E]​

- Poisoned slugs do not look appetizing​
 
((Uh, ok. I'll attack then...))

Well, Crunch, that wasn't bad. Let's start this off with a nice Substitute. Then, follow it up with a Double Team to make this really bothersome for Kyu. End this with a Chill, since you'll probably be tired.

Double Team ~ Substitute ~ Chill
 
So... Kyu, here's your job: First, use Mud Bomb to do the most damage possible. Then, repeat that move if the substitute isn't destroyed, and if it is, use Curse. Then, if the substitute still isn't defeated, go for a Muddy Water attack; and if it is, attack with Toxic while Crunch is resting.

ROUND TWO BEGIN!

After a long break between the previous round and now, the Pokemon prepared themselves for the second round. The referee glared at the trainers with their rain jackets on. Oh how he wanted one so much. Unfortunately, he still had no jacket and he began thinking that he was developing pneumonia. He sighed and hurriedly waved the flags, signalling the round to begin.​

Kyu rushed over to the shallow mud once more. One Mud Bomb might get rid of the grin on that Totodile's face. However, Crunch had other plans. He began to glow an extremely bright light, so bright that he just looked like a blob of light. Suddenly, something began to crawl out of him. When the light subsided, there was a small Totodile in front of Crunch. Kyu grimaced. Why oh why must these things happen? Nevertheless, Kyu began to swirl around in the mud once more, forming another blob of mud. He spun, shooting the mud in Crunch's direction. However, in midair, the ball of mud's course changed so that, instead, it hit the mini Totodile.​

[Crunch: -10H -5E Kyu: -0H -6E]​

Kyu grinned slightly. At least the substitute's health was diminishing. He began to swirl around in the mud once more. In the meanwhile, Crunch began to run around in circles quite quickly. One of the trainers giggled. The referee glared at them, mainly because of the jacket she was wearing. Eventually, when Crunch stopped running, there were three other full sized Totodile standing by him, jumping up and down erratically as Crunch was. Kyu hung his head in annoyance. This was getting him nowhere. He spun around, again, shooting the ball of mud, again, at Crunch, again, but instead the ball changed its direction, again, hitting the small Totodile, AGAIN. Thankfully, this was enough for the small Totodile to fall on the ground in pain. The small Totodile began to fade into the ground. Kyu grinned. The substitute was gone! Rejoice! Then he turned and saw the other three Totodile. Kyu let out a big sigh.​

[Crunch: -0H -3E Kyu: -0H -6E]​

Crunch looked at his clones happily. He yawned. He was tired. Bothering a slug really took the crap out of someone. He and his clones collapsed onto the ground, sleeping. Kyu grinned a nasty grin. This was brilliant! That Totodile would never know what hit him! Quickly, Kyu opened his mouth. A purple blob began to form inside of it. After about a minute, Kyu lurched his head forward, aiming at one of the Totodile. It hit, and all of the Totodile jumped up in pain. The Toxic had hit the right Totodile. Kyu smiled. Finally, finally that Totodile would pay. Kyu began to do a little dance.​

Notes:​



-Crazy Linoone, in your command you first said to use Substitute before Double Team, but when writing out the moves your said to use Double Team before Substitute. I stuck with Substitute before Double Team.​

-No specific health amount was set for the Substitute, so I stuck with 10%​

-Darksong attacks first this round​

-Sorry for being unable to ref for so long :sweatdrop:​

-By the current state of things, Crunch is winning​
 
Kyu, this looks hard. Try to Chill first. Then use Harden to defend, and finally, Counter if Crunch used a physical move last, and otherwise, Secret Power.

Chill ~ Harden ~ Counter/Secret Power
 
((opps. Sorry...))

Sweet. Nice job, Crunch! Let's start off with a nice Screech attack while the slug chills. It should be easier to hit because that slug isn't moving around that much. Then, while it hardens, use Slash and smash that slug to bits. And let's end with another Double Team, three clones, if you please.

Screech ~ Slash ~ Double Team (3 clones)

ROUND THREE BEGIN!

The referee was angry. It was raining a bit harder than before, and he still felt completely soaked. He was half tempted to call off the match, but no, what would that do for anyone? It would make him drier. Hmm. That sounds better than nothing. But anyways, he looked upon the field, and waved his flags as the Pokemon were prepared for the next round.

As soon as the flags were waved, Kyu immediately dropped to the ground, resting, allowing the nice, cool rain to wash over him. It was quite relaxing. He let out a contented sigh. Crunch was happily dancing once more, getting over some of the pain. He saw the slug unsuspecting and tasty looking. This would be the best time to eat, er, use screech on him! Suddenly, Crunch emitted a powerful Screech attack that sounded worse than nails being scratched across a chalkboard. Kyu jumped up, suddenly out of his relaxed state. He winced from the noise. Oh the pain! The pain of the noise! Why? WHY?

[Crunch: -0H -2E Kyu: -0H +10E -2 Defense]

As Kyu was wincing from the noise, Crunch stared at him with a lovely grin. This would be quite fun. With his claws extended, Crunch darted towards Kyu. Kyu looked up at him with horror. Why, oh why must this stupid crocodile be so damn fast? It saddened him. Crunch was soon right in front of Kyu and then, with his sharp claws, he swiped at the yummy slug. Kyu howled in pain, and was launched back a few feet. He whimpered, but suddenly became very still. His body glimmered for a moment, as if like rock. Then, he stopped. He was at least a little safe now! He looked up. Why must it be this way?

[Crunch: -0H -6E Kyu: -6H -2E +1 Defense]

Crunch looked at Kyu. Kyu looked at Crunch. Crunch frowned. Why wasn't Kyu doing anything? Meh. Let's run around in circles some more. And with as much grace as a flamingo with high heels, Crunch began to run around in circles quickly, once more. Kyu looked on. No, no not again! Not more Crunches! Wasn't one enough. Kyu. Was. Angry. Within moments, Totodile had finished running, and there were three clones with him again. Four damn Crunches. Which one was which? Kyu gulped. Crunch and his clones were happily dancing. Kyu was angry once more. He roared with rage and opened his mouth. Out of his mouth, he shot a green beam at one of the Crunches. The attack hit! Crunch was shot back a few feet, hitting a tree. His clones disappeared. This made Kyu very happy.

-By the current standings, Kyu is in the lead (If you are wondering how I know this, I'm averaging the Health and Energy of each Pokemon)

-Because of Kyu's lowered defense, I added one point of damage for Slash

-I need to remember my jacket more often​
 
Nice job, Crunch! First, let's start with a nice Crunch attack to eat, I mean, bite that tasty, I mean, annoying slug. Yes. Right after you bit it, throw in a Screech attack. Because you should be still quite close to the slug from the Crunch attack, the Screech should hit rather nicely. End it with a Body Slam and see if you can hit that slug out of the mud.

If it uses Counter or Protect at any point, use Double Team and make 2 clones instead.

Crunch/Double Team ~ Screech/Double Team ~ Body Slam/Double Team
 
Okay, Kyu. Try this. First use Yawn, then Stockpile to restore your Defense, and raise Special Defense, too. Then, finally, Spit Up. Good luck, buddy!

Round 4

Blaziking, the ref, began to flicker before disappearing. All of a sudden, a new ref appears, and tells the trainers to continue.

Crunch starts off, running towards Kyu. Crunch opens his jaws wide, before sinking the sharp teeth into Kyu's flesh. Kyu let out a slight squeal in response, before yawning and releasing a small pink bubble, which floats over to Crunch, who had let go and moved away, before popping in his face.

Although his eyelids are growing heavy, he opens his jaws again, but not as wide this time, and lets out a high-pitched shriek. This severely hurt Kyu's ears. However Kyu's first attack did it's job, as Crunch suddenly dropped to the ground, snoring peacefully. Kyu then began to glow a faint pink colour, when he was storing energy.

With Crunch still asleep, Kyu forms a pink ball of pure energy in front of his mouth. The orb suddenly reforms itself into a beam, directed straight at Crunch. Unable to do anything to stop it, the beam hit the Totodile, however, he remained asleep.

All right, since your opponent's asleep, you have time to Chill first. Then, go ahead and use Mud Bomb. If your opponent wakes up, use Double Team, but if not, try Harden.
