Round 4​
Lilypad(OO)
Currently out: Rex

Male Meowth [Technician] @ Silk Scarf
Health: 59% / Energy: 75%
Status: 1- Attack.
Condition: Itching to get back in there and find that damn treasure.
Commands: Round/Feint/Pay Day ~ Round/Feint/Pay Day ~ Round/Feint/Pay Day

Zero Moment (OO)
Currently out: Leafpaw

Male Shinx [Intimidate]
Health: 52% / Energy: 68%
Status: Stable
Condition: Itching to get back in there and beat that damn Meowth up.
Commands: Thunder Wave ~ Thunderbolt ~ Thunderbolt ~ Thundercats!​

Arena:
We are playing... in a giant litter box. That's right, a giant litter box. Of course the trainers are standing outside of it, and besides it's clean anyway... right? Ground and rock type attacks are boosted 3%. Obvious cat types (Skitty, Purrloin, Meowth, Glameow, maybe more) gain 1.2x speed.

Arena status: A small amount of sand from the edges of the box has already been dislodged. A good amount of sand in the area that the battlers are on has been dislodged into uneveness, but the tunnel that Rex dug through has already sank into solid shape again.

-----​

Rex's eyes glittered at the suggestion of using Pay Day. Oh, yes, the shiny treasure! He started thinking that maybe, technically, thinking of gold in such a feverish manner was preventing him from landing a regular attack at the opponent...

... And then, suddenly, a static pulse surged through his muscles. A terrible numbness cut short his knack for treasure hunting. After all, how does one brave the rolling boulder of doom when one has a massive leg cramp? But this insult to the treasure hunter's lifestyle would not stand, even if it meant holding off on the gold hoarding for a little while. And clearly, the only proper retribution was humming the Indiana Jones theme song in the most aggressively obnoxious pitch possible.

Leafpaw just about cried out as his opponent's awful voice started blasting all over the arena again, all but turning the sandbox into a boombox. Hoping for sweet mercy for his large ears, he discharged as much electricity as he could from his body in a continuous, wicked bolt fired straight ahead, his entire coat glowing bright as he sensed a creeping danger -- all in all, the humans in the ring had a lovely banquet of sensorial abuse to feast on.

Moreover, no matter how much excess charge got into that Meowth, he wouldn't shut up, and no matter how much excess charge went out of that Shinx, his glow wouldn't fade -- instead, it'd be undescored by a pale red one, almost invisibly faint beneath his reckless shining.


Round 4 – End​

Health: 12% (Capped) / Energy: 57%
Status: Stable
Condition: Thunder, thunder, thunder, thundercats hooooly shit please stop this noise
Performed: Thunder Wave ~ Thunderbolt ~ Thunderbolt ~Thundercats!​

Arena status: A steadily increasing amount of sand from the edges of the box has been dislodged. A good amount of sand in the area that the battlers are on has been dislodged into uneveness, but the tunnel that Rex dug through has already sank into solid shape again.

Additional notes:
- Round on the first action was a critical hit.
- Rex did not roll for paralysisfail on any action (on top of the crit -- holy hax, batman).
- Leafpaw hit the damage cap on the third action.
- Zero Moment commands first next round.

What.
Even with a crit, how the hell did that do >40% damage?

EDIT: DAMMIT ninjad while I was typing up my post.

I can answer. It didn't even go past the cap ( Last round you had 52% health. -40 (the cap) is 12%, your current health.)

Also, even without the crithax (WOOP WOOP this is just an awesome week for me!) it would have been 39%.

Maths:

Base power of Round : 6%

(Quote from database page: "Technician: ...As a result, for all attacks ordinarily base 60 power or less, the base power is multiplied by 1.5 in addition to all other multipliers. For example, if a Scyther with Technician were to use Aerial Ace, the attack's base power would be considered 90 instead of 60.") So it becomes 9%.

STAB: 9/4 = 2% extra for 11%

Scarf: +2 for 13% per move.

I spammed it 3 times so 13*3 = 39%.

Also sorry about the spamming but I was rushing. I know they must be really boring to write.

p.s. I love Rex so freaking much. Rex you can use pay day the rest of the battle if you want as long as you get that ko.
 
Alright, Leafpaw, that last round was absolutely mad, and now our goal is to get as much damage out as we can and pray for paralysis hax. Luckily, you're now quicker than your opponent. First off, channel all of your anger into a Frustration. Then spam Thunderbolts for as long as you can.
If your opponent is Protect/Detecting, or you otherwise can't hit him, Charge Beam.
If you haven't already, for some reason, and you can hit successfully, use Frustration.

fuuuuuuuuck guys I'm sorry


One Swift should be enough to finish him off, do that and repeat if nessessary. And pray no para.

Swift ad infinitum

Ignoring his tired, beaten body, Leafpaw doesn’t wait for his opponent to move. He takes all the pain he’s endured throughout this battle and pools it into a fiery rage, a barrage of strength that he assaults Rex with, fangs and claws and tail lashing at the meowth like an army of shinx instead of just the one. Rex’s paralyzed body is too slow to protect himself, but Leafpaw doesn’t have the energy to keep it up for long, and he sags into the sand, panting quickly.

Perfect - this is it. Slowly, painstakingly, Rex raises his paws and grabs flecks of fur from his chest, slicing them through the air like ninja stars at the exhausted shinx. They travel only inches before slicing into his flesh, slicing him like bacon, bright red welts appearing from each hit. Leafpaw only lets out a soft, tired whine before his eyes close and he sags entirely to the ground, clearly unable to go any further. Rex sighs with relief; he’s done his job.​

Arena Notes:

Final Notes:
  • Please let me know if there’s any mistakes, as I’m picking this up in the middle…
  • Rex is lucky again and got no parahax.
  • Frustration was at base 90.
  • Rex’s intimidate drop disappeared when Leafpaw fainted.
  • Zero Moment sends out, Lily attacks, ZM attacks.
 
(Psst, ZM, you didn't have your Pancham in your active squad at the beginning of the battle, so you can't send her out)
 
I hate goomys >:[ stupid psuedolegendaries, always knocking everybody out

Rex...

I made you a promise and I'll keep it.

Get the Treasure, unless you're taunted, in which case go to singing.

Pay Day/Round x3
 
Hm, this will be a simple round. Three Dragon Pulses should do the trick. Though those 9% damage Pay Days are gonna hurt (technician/stab/trinket combo op), he'll only be able to get two off, max—less if parahax finally comes through.

​

Rex’s pain and fury intensify as a clearly not-cat is released opposite him, flopping jelly-like into the sand and grinning with satisfaction. His hatred will have to wait, as his muscles clench, holding him in place like a statue for the hit he knows is about to come. And indeed, Sinh opens her little mouth, sucking in lungfuls of air and converting them to pure draconic energy, a green fiery light that rushes towards Rex like fire but so much hotter. It burns his already aching skin, knocking him off his stiff feet onto his side, and only a gasp escapes his frozen lungs to betray his pain.

Nothing stops Sinh from preparing another beam, air converting to green fire that hits Rex so hard it looks like he’s done for - his eyes are closing, he’s sinking into the sand, barely hanging on with no strength to hold himself upright. Sinh tilts her head, unsure if she should continue, when at last the poor meowth’s muscles relax and let him pick his head out of the sand.

Slowly, so slowly, he prepares to hit back, but it’s too late. Another burst of fire from Sinh sends him sprawling, and he’s finally able to rest in the quiet of his pokeball. Sinh bounces in place, eager for his replacement.​

Final Notes:
  • Super sorry for long wait. :C big anxiety weeks meant no spoons for reffing… hopefully back on track now.
  • Rex’s paralysis lightened at the beginning of the round. He was fully paralyzed on the first and second action though.
  • Lilycolo sends out, ZM attacks, Lilycolo attacks.

Gonna keep it real. With some proper management, Twitchy won't stand a chance. Start off with a Water Pulse, follow it up with a Thunderbolt, and end it with a Hidden Power. If your opponent is Protecting or otherwise invunerable, use a Curse. If she's made Double Team clones, use Shock Wave.

Water Pulse/Curse/Shock Wave~Thunderbolt/Curse/Shock Wave~Hidden Power/Curse/Shock Wave
 
Alright my baby birb, we've got... equal footing? Dammit, Rex's staving off the paralysis finally came back to him all at once.

First, Aerial Ace the blob. Then, fly up, wait until he's done, and fly back down. Finally, fly up again.
Aerial Ace ~ Fly (one action) ~ Fly (up)

Twitchwing lands in the sandbox and inspects it with an appropriate twitch of the head, cawing her possible approval - it’s hard to tell on a bird. Regardless, she’s not going to be spending much time in the sand, so it’s none of her business. As long as the air’s good, she’s happy, and it seems to be working just fine as with a powerful flap of tiny wings she becomes airborne, pivoting forwards to dive like a rocket into Sinh’s rubbery flesh. The goomy yelps at the impact, but Twitch doesn’t seem to have enjoyed it either, her feathers being coated with whatever goo dripped off the nasty slug-dragon and weighing her down. She still managed to fly, as long as she flapped harder.

Sinh examined her new wound tragically. First battle scar right there. A deep sigh, and she ballooned outwards, spitting out lungfulls of water and screams to go with it. The water smacked Twitchwing out of the air, almost dropping her to the sand before she caught the wind again, but she ignored the screaming entirely. Perhaps the shock of water was too much distraction.

Clearly, she was eager to get away from her opponent. With a solid flap, she dove upwards, flapping harder and harder until she was so high above the sandbox that it looked like a tiny toy to her. From down below, Sinh knew she had no chance of hitting the bird, and she didn’t even try; she began to murmur darkly instead, a ghostly energy rippling about her and thickening her already dull exterior. Nothing changed visibly, but she could feel the effects on her, making her stronger.

And it was just in time, too, as Twitchwing came soaring down. Wings tucked tight, she flew with the speed of the height she’d flown pulling her down, landing hard into Sinh’s back and flapping away with more goo coating her as thanks. Sinh could already feel the bruise forming, feel the strain as she moved, but she could also see a thickening coat of her slop on the fletchling’s wings and that served as some comfort.

Harder now, Twitching soared up again, cursing silently at the goomy. Sinh frowned and cursed as well, bolstering her thickening hide and waiting for the blow that was to come - but Twitch didn’t come down this time. She floated above, floating lazily on a pocket of hot air and waiting for the perfect chance to strike.​
