------------------------------​

OH MY GOD ERIS IS ON THE FRICKIN' ROOF. This is FRICKIN' TERRIFYING, better PROTECT HERSELF! THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA! Without further delay, Eris summons up a transparent, pretty solid bubble to protect her from the CASCADING RAIN AND SAND AND HAIL. IT ALL BOUNCES OFF HER SHIELD LIKE SO MANY MACHINE GUN SHOTS. WAAAAAAAH. Her bubble is also a pretty convenient shield from that pulse of electricity that Lancelot sends outward in all directions, yeah. The few sparks that reach her fizzle away upon contact with her bubble, and all's well in her world except that she's a frickin' CACTUS TRAPPED ON THE FRICKIN' ROOF. GET ME FRICKIN' OUT OF HERE AAAAAAAA.

Jerome is keen to grant Eris's wish, but alas, her shield prevents him from doing so. Instead he turns to Lancelot, sees the Honedge in finest, picture-perfect detail through his shades and the swirling sand. A most excellent combination! The Vanillite calls forth an icy orb of icy coolness to hover in front of him, and his snazzy shades add an extra ten degrees of cool. One might even call it twenty percent cooler. He spins around in the air and a beam of blue light shoots out from the orb toward Lancelot's not-nearly-as-chilly exterior. The Honedge's steel covering protects his blade from some of it, but a portion of the piercing cold makes its way through, chilling him to the core.

OHHHH MY GOD IF NO ONE IS GOING TO COME RESCUE ERIS FROM THE FRICKIN' ROOF SHE'S GOING TO JUMP RIGHT OFF, AND SHE'S GONNA TAKE THAT LOSER JEROME WITH HER. AND SO SHE DOES. As the Vanillite is preparing another sphere of ice, Eris tackles him and catches him by surprise before beating him up with her thorny limbs with all the energy she's got left. BAM BAM FRICKIN' BAM. THE SOUNDS OF DESTRUCTION ARE AUDIBLE EVEN OVER NOISE OF THE HUGE HAILSTONES SMASHING DOWN ON THE FRICKIN' ROOF. And then, suddenly... the lenses of Jerome's sunglasses pop right out. He's gone.

LANCELOT CRIES OUT IN UTTER RAGE AND FURY THAT HIS TARGET HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM HIM. On instinct, he charges up a sphere of silver Steel-type energy and bats it forward with a swing of his blade, to knock Eris RIGHT OFF THE FRICKIN' ROOF. YEAH. LANCELOT IS THE FRICKIN' CHAMPION. And then the roof tilts one way, and then the other, and then completely disappears from beneath him, so the poor Honedge finds himself FALLING AT TOP SPEED THROUGH THE AIR OH MY GOD SOMEONE SAVE ME. NOSADA!

Nosada does not answer, but something else does: at last second he finds himself transformed into a FRICKIN' BIRD, to make a graceful landing on the collosseum floor.

Notes
  • Speed order: Lancelot (91) stands alone.
  • Lancelot evolved into a Murkrow.
  • Shock Wave is, somehow, a single-target attack by nature, so spreading it out had even more of a damage penalty than that of multi-target moves. Also, Lancelot didn't actually move before Jerome the first action, but it was easier to write that way.
  • Eris's combo was a crit.
  • Since he didn't have a target on the second action, Lancelot used his move on Eris since she was the only one he could hit. It lowered Special Defense, not that it mattered.
  • Once again, everyone gets a KO! Jerome KO'd Reynolds last round, then Eris KO'd Jerome, and finally Lancelot KO'd Eris. I guess Reynolds doesn't get a KO, though.
  • Keldeo sends out, then TruetoCheese sends out and posts commands, then Keldeo posts commands, then JackPK posts commands.

I'll go with Littlefoot!

amaura

I had to use a Gen 6 mon at some point ;-; (why sprites whhhhhhhhy)

Alright lets say our hellos to good ol' everyone here, start by seeing if you can do single target Avalanches into Lancelot, and if he's untargetable or Protecting then turn your cacophony over to to cutest creammon instead. If Avalanche can't be single-targeted then just let loose. Lancelot probably can't outwait you, since he's so much faster, but try to go after him if possible. Or creammon if Lancelot can't be hit.

If you're statused and have the damage boost on Facade because of it (actually statused, not if you're drowsy from a Yawn or something), use that on Lancelot instead. If Lancelot is untargetable or Protecting, Facade at creammon. If you're asleep, start throwing out Sleep Talks.

Avalanche / Facade / Sleep Talk x3
 
Well, I'm cool with plan: attack berd. Charlotte, target berd with Draining Kisses for health this entire round, or switch to draining Littlefoot if berd is unhittable for a reason besides substitute. If you can't use Draining Kiss, you're paralyzed, or you can't hit your target with Draining Kiss for a reason besides substitute, switch to Dazzling Gleam, which I guess you have to spread out... Try to single-target it anyway, on the same target you'd be kissing. If you're tormented, alternate Draining Kiss and Dazzling Gleam.

If you're confused, or for some reason you can't use or hit with either Draining Kiss or Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind as soon as possible (but in the first case, only use it once, and use it to lessen your confusion, not raise your stats) before proceeding with the original plans - except if one or both of those first conditions are fulfilled and either Lancelot is preparing a Snatch or you are taunted; in that case, use Dazzling Gleam, or if you can't use or hit with Dazzling Gleam, use Draining Kiss on whoever you can hit/the wall if you can't hit anyone.

Draining Kiss / Dazzling Gleam / Calm Mind x3
 
ick, double-teamed with super-effective moves

Let's try using Fly to avoid those attacks; go up as high as possible. While you're up in the air, calm your mind and cross your fingers for a good evolution. On the way down, aim at Charlotte.

If you can't stay up in the air that long (I don't see why you couldn't as I believe I've seen it done before iirc, but who knows idk, and better to give commands for just in case), Protect on actions one and three and unleash a heat wave between them.

------------------------------​

These sixth-generation 'mons are an affront to Lancelot's noble second-generation presence. (Never mind that he actually is one of the worst of sixth-generation mons.) He must return to the roof at once. And so our intrepid survivor of many generations past swiftly takes wing and flutters up to the metal ceiling, where he is promptly assaulted by a barrage of hailstones to the face. But no matter! He has endured many such struggles since his and his brothers' discovery in Johto. They were being hit by hailstones before it was cool... so really, they were just being rained upon.

Charlotte turns her body slowly upwards to look at Lancelot, tongue lolling out of her mouth. Why'd he have to go all the way up there?! It's not fair, all she wanted was to give him a friendly kiss! Oh, well. There are always other friends. So the Swirlix oozes her way across the floor to give the dashing Littlefoot a little peck on the cheek. Or maybe an extended peck. She likes him a lot, though not as much as the far more dashing Lancelot, so she "accidentally" draws it out for a bit too long, absorbing some of the Amaura's life force into herself. But her puffy coat is already as healthy as it can be, and if she tried to support any more weight she'd just keel right over. Too bad.

In her haste to meet up with Littlefoot for a few kisses, Charlotte has completely neglected to notice the several icy rocks that the Amaura has summoned up to hover precariously over her fluffy self. With an angry roar, Littlefoot charges forward, getting sticky goo all over his skin, and lets the stones fall straight down, cascading over Charlotte in their icy fury to bury her deep beneath a heap of boulders and snow. The Swirlix's form distorts and stretches out to fill the gaps between the rocks pressing immediately against her, until finally she manages to ooze her way out. While Lancelot continues to meditate on the many flaws of the new generations and the merits of good old Kanto and Johto overhead, Charlotte tries again to give Littlefoot a sloppy kiss, managing to drain a bit of his energy to reinforce her coat before again she is rebuffed by a slide of icy boulders.

Satisfied with his ponderings, Lancelot arcs through the air and hurtles downward straight into Charlotte's sticky, puffy coat. The force causes the mass of fluff to indent inward, and Lancelot feels briefly suffocated in the sugary mass before it pops out again and he slides down onto the ground, the sugary substance gunking up his pristine feathers. This is an outrage! As Lancelot frantically tries to groom his feathers back to perfection, the slightly-flattened puff on the ground springs up to kiss the side of his beak. The Murkrow blushes a little, but his abashment soon turns back into rage as he notices little pink threads of his life energy flowing back into the Swirlix. He tenses up, prepared to show her a bit of respect for her elders, but Littlefoot chooses that moment to barge straight into him, showering him with a cluster of snowy pebbles. Lancelot most certainly does not appreciate all the disrespect he's incurring here. Not at all. He'll show them.

Notes
  • Speed order: Littlefoot (83) > Lancelot (55) > Charlotte (50).
  • Charlotte evolved into a Shelgon, Littlefoot evolved into a Serperior, and Lancelot evolved into a Vibrava.
  • Avalanche is a single-target move. Also, the description makes it sound like it's only a contact move when the damage isn't doubled, but that's weird, so I'm just treating it as a contact move regardless.
  • Since Pokémon take extra weather damage from being on the roof (somehow), I'd think being right up next to those weather generators would do the trick was well. Lancelot took 1% extra weather damage each turn he stayed up.
  • I charge energy for staying in the air on a sliding scale where the first couple of actions are free, but then staying up becomes increasingly more tiring, so Lancelot didn't have to pay any extra energy for staying aloft.
  • Lancelot didn't have any explicit commands to wait before flying down, so he did right away on the third action.
  • Charlotte's Light Screen wore off at the end of the round. (I didn't write it in because it didn't really fit with the tone, unfortunately.) In accordance with a discussion that happened in the Question Box a while ago, she had to pay the rest of the upkeep cost.

This situation isn't looking that great, unfortunately. Charlotte, you'll be spamming Dragon Claw at Lancelot. Perhaps we could convince TTC to team up on him as before? If he Flies up or U-turns out of reach, try to hit him with a Twister (which Serperior learns too!) If he starts to Bide, immediately switch to Fire Fang at Littlefoot. If you're Tormented, alternate Fire Fang at Littlefoot and Dragon Claw at Lancelot, or if you're Tormented and Lancelot is Biding, alternate Fire Fang at Littlefoot and Dragon Claw at Littlefoot. If your chosen target is Protecting or otherwise unhittable, bar Substitute, Fly, and U-turn, use Fire Fang on Littlefoot if said target is Lancelot, or Dragon Claw/Twister (as appropriate) on Lancelot if said target is Littlefoot. If both of them are protecting or unhittable, or Littlefoot is unhittable and Lancelot is Biding, use Twister on the wall so you waste the least amount of energy.

Dragon Claw / Twister / Fire Fang x3
 
You know, Lancelot, Bide is cheap, but we're losing and this is the second time in a row you've been weak to one of your enemies' STABs and they've commanded to spam that STAB before we command. So go forth and be cheap. Store up a Bide and then release it at whoever you feel has wronged you most.

If you can't perform/continue Bide (it gets interrupted somehow, you can't start it, or any other reason... also if the last action comes around and nobody's hit you while you stored up Bide, if you can manage it? not sure if that's legal ruleswise), kill everything with dragonfire. Dracarys.

Bide (store)/Outrage x2 ~ Bide (release)/Outrage
 
Serperior's movepool is truly incredible. Stupendous, simply stupendous.

It's so grand that we'll be able to show some dragons the true meaning of draconian. We'll have to become dragons on drago's part, who was unable to take part in this battle. We must become dragons in spirit. We must become DRAGONS.

To that end we're going to Hyper Beam, then Giga Impact then Hyper Beam. All of them one action, all of them at Charlotte.

------------------------------​

This loathesome battle is an affront to Lancelot's noble personage. He cannot be bothered to participate in such ruckus. If he had arms, he would fold them across his chest. But he does not have arms, only buzzy feet things, so he alights in a corner and sits there, watching eerily with oversized buggy eyes and taking on a slight red glow.

Littlefoot ignores him. Charlotte ignores him. Littlefoot rears up, uncoiling his serpentine body into almost a straight line, and charges up a FRICKIN' HUGE BALL OF ORANGE ENERGY IN HIS MOUTH. No, that's a lie. Littlefoot's mouth is far too small to contain this monstrous orb of light. His jaws part comically a bit beyond their means, and he winces in pain as he finally lets the attack fly, a blinding beam of light tearing across the floor to slam Charlotte back into the wall with a deafening crash. The Serperior collapses back into a fully-coiled position, panting heavily from pure exhaustion, as Charlotte slowly extricates herself from the Shelgon-shaped dent she's left in the wall. Both Pokémon struggle to stay upright, but it's Charlotte who makes her move next, spinning through the air like a top as the spikes on her shell burst into flame. She rolls right over Littlefoot's tail and he yelps in shock as his beautiful foliage is set alight, frantically thrashing his tail against the floor to put it out.

Beating his wings impatiently, Lancelot continues to watch and wait.

Littlefoot ignores him. Charlotte ignores him. Littlefoot rears up, uncoiling his serpentine body into almost a straight line, and FRICKIN' SLAMS HIMSELF STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO CHARLOTTE. Orange energy streaks behind him as he struggles to pin the Shelgon down with his slender form, until he resorts to wrapping half his body around his foe to throw her into the ground again and again. He can't keep it up for long and soon must release her, toiling to catch his breath. Shelgon are heavy, man. All this violence is quickly tiring Littlefoot out. Charlotte weakly withdraws back into her shell and sets it alight again, rolling herself over Littlefoot's midsection as he cries out in pain.

Hmph. Lancelot is bored of watching and waiting. Who needs those losers, anyway? He turns his back to them with a huff, the dark red energy around him slowly dissipating. Meanwhile, Littlefoot draws himself up again with a draconic roar, causing the walls to shake as he summons up yet another FRICKIN' HUGE BALL OF ORANGE ENERGY IN HIS MOUTH. His head snaps back a little as an enormous beam of light bursts forth to carve a path through the metal floor and toss Charlotte quite a ways backward. The Shelgon struggles to get to her feet and can't quite manage to support herself, and it takes her a few tries to finally get it right. Sweat beading down her forehead, she forces herself to barrel forward one last time, this time in Lancelot's direction, dark orange flames erupting from her shell. (But this time it is dragonfire. This is different.) The Vibrava's joy at finally being noticed is somewhat dampened by the roaring draconic flame eating through his delicate, sensitive skin. Alas.

A few bits of hail fall on Charlotte's shell and she's out like a light, collapsing to her side in relief. Littlefoot follows suit, though his eyes stay open, and he coils up on the ground for a moment, grateful for this sweet, sweet rest. Meanwhile, Lancelot finds himself turned into a little pink baby. A fuckin' Happiny, man! Who the hell decides these things?

WAIT i am dumb and Charlotte should have Dragon Claw'd the third action. let me fix that. yes Keldeo I see you replying, bye
 
PSST EIFIE LITTLEFOOT SHOULD HAVE 9% MORE HEALTH SINCE HE WAS ONLY HIT WITH TWO FIRE FANGS. ALSO:

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU OKAY. YOU COULD BE ON THE ROOF RIGHT NOW, BUT INSTEAD YOU'VE FAINTED.

ANYWAY, GOOD GAME, TTC AND JACK! IT WAS INCREDIBLY FUN.

KELDEO: SNARL + GLARE ~ HANDSHAKE

(PSST JACK DID YOU KNOW THAT HAPPINY LEARNS....... ~ENDEAVOR~?!)
Oh wait, I've spotted an actual thing: Last last round, Charlotte's second Draining Kiss doesn't seem to have healed any health, but if it had, she'd currently be conscious and at 3% health? I'm not sure whether this would have impacted anyone's commands, though, and she'd faint after the first action next round anyway, so I'm all right with leaving it as is, I guess.
edit two: That makes more sense. I am the dumbest! ^^"

IF HE'S USED REFLECT TYPE, SWITCH TO USING DRAIN PUNCH INSTEAD. WHY DO YOU GET DRAIN PUNCH? HAPPINY BARELY HAS HANDS.

IF HE'S PROTECTING OR OTHERWISE UNABLE TO BE HIT, USE WORK UP BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY STAT BUFF YOU GET. WORK UP? YOU'RE NOT A LILLIPUP. WHY DO YOU GET WORK UP?

Click to expand...

It was actually the first Draining Kiss that didn't heal anything, since she was already at 100% health.
 
RIGHTO NORMAL TYPE MOVEPOOLS ARE SOMEWHAT DISTURBING. WE'LL OPEN WITH A 10% SUBSTITUTE, FOLLOW IT WITH ANOTHER SUBSTITUTE FOR 10% AND THEN END ON A BRINE. IF HIS SOLAR BEAM ON THE FIRST ACTION MISSED OR YOUR INITIAL SUB IS SOMEHOW STILL UP ON THE SECOND, BRINE HIM ON THE SECOND ACTION.

SUBSTITUTE (10%) ~ SUBSTITUTE (10%) / BRINE ~ BRINE
 
DEAR WORLD, I SCREWED UP AND FORGOT TO APPLY THE SPECIAL DEFENSE BOOST FOR ROCK TYPES IN A SANDSTORM. IN MY DEFENSE, TRUETOCHEESE (THE ONLY ONE AFFECTED BY THIS) DID NOT REMEMBER EITHER. LITTLEFOOT GAINS 4% HEALTH, AND CHARLOTTE IS EVEN MORE DEAD.

Jack, if this changes your commands, let me know.

------------------------------​

The ceiling opens up for a second time, and once again the battlers find themselves on the FRICKIN' ROOF. Gigantic hailstones batter Littlefoot's shell and tentacles, and he reaches out with a tentacle to grab an especially huge one out of the air. What a coincidence! It's shaped just like an Omastar! Truly the gods of the FRICKIN' ROOF have been thinking of Littlefoot on this stormy day. All Littlefoot has to do is clasp his weird sucker-teeth-things around one of its spikes and breathe a bit of his own energy into it, and then one icy tentacle moves. Then another. Then Lancelot cuts this moment short by blasting the icy Littlefoot to pieces with a huge ball of blinding, searing sunlight. Man...

Littlefoot is displeased. Eager to regain his companion, he resorts again to his tried and true method of making new friends: literally making them. He snaps out a tentacle to snag a large particle of dirt that blows past him, and— what a coincidence! It's shaped just like an Omastar! Who would have thought this could happen twice? (I would not have thought.) It seems the FRICKIN' ROOF is smiling upon Littlefoot on this day. Lancelot, however, is not smiling upon Littlefoot at all. As soon as Littlefoot imbues the hunk of rock with some of his own life force, Lancelot retaliates by charging up another orb of white-hot energy between his tiny hands, harnessing the sunlight that somehow beats down through the storm to make it grow larger and larger before he sends it off in Littlefoot's direction. The piece of rock valiantly stands in the way and takes the low for itself, exploding into tiny pieces of rockastar that scatter all over the frickin' ROOF.

Littlefoot is displeased. Lancelot has absolutely no appreciation for fine art. Clearly Littlefoot will have to deal with him first. So he spits out a jet of water imbued with the SALT FROM HIS TEARS AT HAVING HIS ARTWORK DESTROYED, and the water knocks Lancelot down flat against the surface of the FRICKIN' ROOF, tear-salt water drenching his many wounds. The Happiny cries out in agony as the salt cruelly stings his exposed flesh, flailing his little limbs against the FRICKIN' ROOF in a desperate attempt to somehow stop the pain. But the FRICKIN' ROOF is cold and uncaring. It lobs a hailstone at him, and the icy rock bounces off Lancelot's head and leaves him unconscious. To add insult to injury, Lancelot suddenly transforms into a FRICKIN' BIBAREL.

As the raging storm begins to clear, one last evolution is in store for the last Pokémon to survive being ravaged by the FRICKIN' ROOF. A dazzling white light surrounds the Omastar, his head pops out of his shell and he sprouts huge wings, and when the light's faded away, Littlefoot's evolved into a FRICKIN' YVELTAL. With a few effortless flaps of his majestic wings, he lifts off to block out the now-docile sun with his enormous form and surveys the rubble beneath, wondering which unfortunate city first to plunge into darkness...

Arena Status
  • THE SKIES ARE SUNNY AND BEAUTIFUL AND OBSCURED BY THIS GIANT FREAKIN' YVELTAL, WHAT THE HELL MAN, LET US SEE THE EARTH ONCE AGAIN

Damage and Energy

  • Littlefoot's Health: 57% - 10% (Substitute) - 10% (Substitute) - 9% (acid rain) = 28%
  • Littlefoot's Substitute, first of its name: 10% - 19% (Solar Beam) = 0%
  • Littlefoot's Substitute, second of its name: 10% - 19% (Solar Beam) = 0%
  • Littlefoot's Energy: 46% - 5% (Substitute) - 5% (Substitute) - 4% (Brine) = 32%
  • Lancelot's Health: 25% - 15% (Brine) - 12% (acid rain) = 0%
  • Lancelot's Energy: 85% - 7% (Solar Beam) - 7% (Solar Beam) - 7% (Solar Beam) = 64%

Notes
  • Lancelot's Solar Beam the last action missed, not that it mattered since Littlefoot would have survived anyway. (Um... I forgot to actually write that in. I kind of don't want to because it ruins the vibe, man.)
  • One last evolution before wrapping this up: Littlefoot evolved into an Yveltal. Charlotte, if you were still alive, that would've been you. (Lancelot evolved into a Bibarel as he fainted.)
  • Annnd there we go. I can't believe this 3v3v3 only took a week. sobs, tears, now we must part, </3, etc. I'll just let the DB quietly handle the prizes since I would probably screw up telling you what they are and cause confusion. Congratulations TruetoCheese on an absurd amount of blessing from the random number gods and thanks all of you for a battle well played! Perhaps one day we will meet again...

Okay, for posterity. TruetoCheese gets $48, and man I sure hope the db will give Jack and Keldeo $24 each. Otherwise you will get $12 each and I will take that up with Zhorken, I guess. edit: it seems to have given you both $24, so we're all good.

KOs

  • Eris: Jerome
  • Charlotte: no one :'(
  • cutest cutemon: FOXTROT OSCAR X-RAY
  • Littlefoot: Charlotte, Lancelot
  • FOXTROT OSCAR X-RAY: Louise
  • Jerome: Reynolds
  • Reynolds: no one :'(
  • Lancelot: Eris
  • Louise: cutest cutemon

I'm looking at the code that handles prize money and I'm 99% sure it would have given both losers $24, but I didn't think to actually check their money beforehand.
 
Thank you guys all so much! TTC and Keldeo for letting me tag along after getting ninja'd trying to accept the original challenge, and Eifie for reffing such a wild battle!

You guys sure kept me on my toes. That was a lot of fun! Random-evolution battles sure are enjoyable and so, so crazy. ALL HAIL THE ROOF

And, lest I forget, props to Keldeo for such an amazing arena and, of course, to all three of the original writers whose arenas Keldeo melded together with the sheer genius of Frankenstein.

(The database gave me $24 as expected, Eifie, so that's resolved!)
