Poison Jab/Incinerate ~ Poison Jab/Incinerate ~ Fake Out

​

Ringi knew the end was near, and what better time to leap to action than when your opponent is caged? And the cage is made of fire. She hopped from foot to fit, whipping her hand back and forth. Her loud ooks were both a warning to Marlboro and preparation for her attack. She closed her fist, feeling the tightening of the muscles ooze out something sinister. She never looked at her hand when she did this, fearing she might puke something that was also sinister. Causing her to puke again, and so on. It would not be that pretty. She charged into the inferno. Every time she did this she winced as a reflex, but nothing ever happened when she entered the flames. They were oftentimes cooler than her own body temperature. She heard a shriek much like a squeak as her envenomed appendage poked something squishy. Something very squishy, as the squeaks only got louder. Closing her eyes had been her plan all along! Exactly! That way she could sense her opponent’s weak spot. A beaming face snapped open its eyes, ready to view her foe-

OH GOD IT BURNS THE LIGHT IT BURNS

And Ringi’s eyes snapped shut. What the actual monkeys was that. Her eyeeeees, they felt like elves had defecated in them. She did not know what that felt like, but it was probably pretty accurate.

Marlboro continued wailing, shaking his body in place. His pain defense mechanism had kicked in and he was basically a siren on steroids that occasionally induced epileptic attacks. Slick poison oozed to the ground from off his face. The punch had landed right between his eyes, and there was now an O shaped depression. The slime slopped to the ground, whapping against it like a damp towel. Ringi blinked, closed her eyes, and gave the Cottonee another right hook.

Marlboro wheezed as this one grazed his cheek, sending him spinning about. He was about to fall into the flames when his second defense mechanism kicked in. He chirped forth the spirits of nature, green bulbs of light that fell into the ground. He opened his eyes. Noted that nothing happened. Ringi opened her eyes. Noted that nothing happened. A host of sand covered stones shot up from beneath the Monferno. The jagged peaks roared upwards, sending debris flying everywhere. The sharpened edges grew larger and larger, ripping orange lines of fur off the Monferno and dragging them up into the air. Before Ringi could even breath the stones shot back again, ripping just as hard.

The sand beneath her was lumpy and pitted in places. She hacked a bit of blood onto the grains in front of her, and gripped at the tender skin of her exposed arm. Marlboro sneered, now she knew true pain.

It was all a ruse. Ringi sped forward and flung her suddenly cured arm right into the Cottonee. It followed a wide arc, Marlboro felt that time had slowed for that single moment of emotional betrayal. Time had not slowed enough for him to gasp in shock, the O shaped depression on his face stretching like a second mouth. The flat of Ringi’s palm connected, and he flew into the cliffside.

Meursault held up a sign, hastily scribbled, that said “NO FENDUEAVNOR ALLOWED”. Ringi spat out a tooth.

Poison Jab ~ Poison Jab ~ Fake Out

Spoiler: Rolls:

A1:
Poison Jab: Crit Chance (4/100, CRITICAL HIT), Effect Chance (84/100, NO EFFECT)

A2:
Poison Jab: Effect Chance (35/100, NO EFFECT)
Nature Power -> Earth Power: Effect Chance (70/100, NO EFFECT)

A3:
Fake Out: Crit Chance (1/100, CRITICAL HIT)

Calculations:
Marlboro's Health:
46 – 20 (Poison Jab, Critical Hit) – 16 (Poison Jab) – 6 (Fake Out, Critical Hit) – 1 * 2 (Residual Fire Spin) = 11% (Capped)

Marlboro's Energy:
76 – 3 (Dazzling Gleam) – 5 (Nature Power -> Earth Power) = 68%

Ringi's Health:
90 – 10 (Dazzling Gleam) – 13 (Earth Power) = 67%

Ringi's Energy:
79 – 5 (Poison Jab) – 5 (Poison Jab) – 4 (Fake Out) = 65%

Notes:
-Two crits, holy hell…Not that the damage mattered, just the thought of it.
-Since you're on sand, Nature Power got a bit more grounded.

-Meursault put that sign down, you use that to command!

-shit i forgot the shiny sprites.

 

[nastypass]

aaaand a Mach 2 Fire Punch for the knockout. if he protects, throw down some Stealth Rocks and hit him the second action.

sigh. looks like MORE dentist's bills for us.

Mach Punch+Fire Punch/Stealth Rock ~ victory vortex/Mach Punch+Fire Punch ~ victory vortex

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

hehehe...

ahahahaha...

HAHAHAHAHA

Protect on the first action!

and then...


...

...........PROTECT AGAIN! YES!

This way we will surely (50% chance) have a way of not dying so soon, because we'll use Encore on the last action so he'll be trapped in an infinite (three actions) vortex of victory vortex!

Protect ~ Protect (plz) ~ Encore

​

Ringi pulled back her fist, balling it up as tightly as possible. Marlboro leapt up from the rubble in alarm and flung his leaves upwards, pulling a shining green barrier up from the ground. He sighed, safe in his little bubble. Ringi grinned. Marlboro’s eyes, in an attempt to rest, were meeting with drooped eyelids, but shot back up at the monkey’s signal. Did that primeval primate have another trick up her sleeve? Did she even have sleeves? Did monkeys need sleeves? All these questions and more shot through Marlboro’s head and Ringi pumped her fist forward, pulling her shoulder and the rest of her body with it.

Then she stopped and unglued her fingers from each other, and a smattering of rocks dug out of the sand like crabs and flew lazily into place next to Marlboro.

Then Ringi leapt at him. While Marlboro had been distracted by the rocks, she’d had another fist full of flame swirling behind her back. The Cottonee’s shield was already half down when he tried to throw it back up again, resulting in a sphere with a top hemisphere so warped it looked almost as melted as Marlboro did. Ringi kicked off the ground at the last second and planted her feet onto the sphere’s side. The barrier and the Cottonee within rocked forwards and backwards, feeling a mite unsafe.

Ringi plunged her fist through the glassy surface, shattering all of Marlboro’s hopes. The fist crashed into the top of his headfluff, setting it alight, and the rest of the flames spread through the innards of the cracked orb. Marlboro screamed and wailed as the fire engulfed him. Ringi looked away from the prison of raging flame, shielding her eyes from the stray jets of cotton that Marlboro desperately tried to shake off.

Only when the screaming stopped did Ringi the barrier dissipate and Ringi plopped to the ground. She was ready to groan at the fall, but both were stopped by a deflated Cottonee cushioning her hindquarters.

Stealth Rock ~ MACH 2 FIRE PUNCH ~ Not enough commands to victory vortex!

​

Arena Notes:
-Stealth Rock is up on LotF's side of the field.

Spoiler: Rolls:

Weren’t reaaaallly necessary here. Move along.

Spoiler: Calculations:

Marlboro's Health:
11 – 14 (MACH 2 FIRE PUNCH) = scorch’d

Marlboro's Energy:
68 – 2 (Protect) – 2 (Protect) = 64%

Ringi's Health:
67%

Ringi's Energy:
65 – 3 (Stealth Rock) - 8 (MACH 2 FIRE PUNCH) = 54%

Notes:
-How would an Encore on a combo work, actually?
-And since we’re here, how the hell would Stealth Rock work? Just like in the games, on sendout, or is it more like a Fire Spin where movement would incur damage.

-Alright, bout’s over. I’m not entirely clear on how this would function, but I believe LotF picks a mon off the bench, then Meursault picks one, then LotF commands. Ooooooor you guys PM me again? Unsure. MEURSAULT HALP

 

[nastypass]

(all sendouts will be via pm until everything's been sent out at least once)

i usually ref stealth rock/spikes/toxic spikes as damage on sendout with additional arbitrary chance of damage on movement for non-levitators

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

...how are rolls unnecessary? Protect has a 50% chance of working twice, unless I'm mistaken.

 

[TruetoCheese]

...how are rolls unnecessary? Protect has a 50% chance of working twice, unless I'm mistaken.

Oooooooh effin' whoops. I knew I missed something, yeah. I did the rolls for protect but forgot to mention it. Sorry, it was 98 on the roll. Damn it, I even described that bit._.

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

no prob! send out and commands in a minute

[Lord of the Fireflies]

Alriiiiiight

Go for Knock Off, then Icicle Crash twice. If they try to put up a Reflect, Snatch it! If they Protect / Detect / are otherwise unreachable by your default attack, Swords Dance.

Knock Off / Snatch / Swords Dance ~ Icicle Crash / Snatch / Swords Dance x2

 

[nastypass]

Welp, better you than Haruka, Ruin.

I'm rather fond of your Moon Stone so I think we ought to let Mia snatch a Reflect off the first action and you can just Dazzling Gleam from there.

​

Both the Monferno and her makeshift whoopee cushion dissolved into red light. Two beams shot off to opposite ends of the stage and two Pokeballs followed like clockwork. Out popped a top with eyes so large that they should affect its center of mass, and a Sneasel. The Baltoy’s eyes opened at that revelation. Mia merely waved.

Ruin kicked into high gear, spiraling in place. Wisps of green crawled out of the air, shimmering like emerald fire. Mia flicked a calculated claw upwards and then downwards in a slice. Her shadow extended and the black of its claw swooped around the Baltoy, pulling away the dancing embers and crystallizing them in front of Mia.

Mia stuck out a tongue at the Baltoy. But the top had already been slowing its spin while the thievery was in action, as if it knew. Mia narrowed her eyes and shifted forward to peer at her foe. Ruin’s spin continued unimpeded by any emotional discord whatsoever. Mia growled and shot her arm forward, followed by her other claw, then pulled one back like the bow on a string. Droplets of near-ice fell from her white claws and coagulated into a whirling drill of ice along her arm. She grabbed the lance as it was fully formed and javelined it at the Baltoy.

Ruin had calculated her speed perfectly and rotated right into place to face the massive icicle. The slit running through her eyes flashed a pale pink, and the shine shot through the facets of the ice. It expanded and refracted and pulled back and twisted through the spear like it was being twisted by some playful, otherworldly being. As the spear jammed into Ruin’s eye it shattered, showering the Baltoy it hundreds of jagged shards. It lost its control for a moment, and tipped dangerously close to the ground. But with the destruction of the icicle the light within was freed, bathing the whole area in a shock of white so bright that Mia could see it even with her eyes closed.

Her mistake was opening them. The Baltoy had rigidified its spin once more, but the angered shriek of its foe created a little wobble in its path. It was the closest Ruin could feel to a shiver.

Spoiler: Calculations:

Mia's Health:

Mia’s Energy:

Ruin’s Health:
100 – 15 * 2 (Icicle Crash) + 3 (Moon Stone) = 73%

Ruin’s Energy:
100 – 4 * 2 (Dazzling Gleam) + 2 (Moon Stone) = 94%

Notes:
-Fun fact: Each of your sendouts have shared the same first letter apiece.
-Less fun fact: The first Dazzling Gleam crit. The first Icicle Crash nearly crit with a roll of 11.

-Meursault to command.

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

By my calculations, Dazzling Gleam should have done no more than 16% on the first hit and 12% on the second (it has 80 base power, I think you treated it as having 100 base power).

For some reason I thought Baltoy was Fairy. Fixed.

 

[nastypass]

frickin jeez ttc that was fast

mm, technically ruin should only have gotten 2% out of moon stone healing this round since it's per-action and they were at 100% health after the first action. also where's the stealth rock damage? doesnt matter to my commands, but.

ANYWAY, RUIN, if Mia wises up and decides to steal your Moon Stone rather than just knocking it off, I want you to change the weather to Sandstorm as soon as you're able to afterward. Aside from that, Dazzling Gleam and Ancientpower seem sufficiently annoying to spam.

Dazzling Gleam/Sandstorm ~ Ancientpower/Sandstorm ~ Dazzling Gleam/Sandstorm

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

Drop the Reflect and just Knock Off the Moon Stone. I prefer Razor Claw's higher crit chance, fool. Especially when it's applied to Icicle Crash with a chance of flinch!

Knock Off ~ Icicle Crash ~ Icicle Crash

Mia placed her hand in front of her face and tightened her fist. Sparks of green fizzled out beside her, now one with the cool mountain air. That was merely the first step, the second was then taken. And then a third. Ruin’s momentum slowed, stalled by curiosity. Mia sprang up and swiped the Baltoy across its eyes, toppling it over. The faceted stone that shimmered around its neck bounced across the dirt and came to rest by a large dune. Mia stood above her foe, growling behind a sneer. Her lower lip vibrated, lending a menace to her sharpened teeth that they didn’t really need because of their jaggedness. Ruin turned over and flashed another stream of light out of its eyes.

Mia stumbled back and slammed and waved her elongated claws about, almost falling over. She slammed a hand down into the air, which stopped as a giant icicle formed right below it. She pressed her other claw onto the top and breathed in for a bit, using the vertical spike as a cane to lean on. Her head shot upwards and glared right through the crystals at Ruin, who’s eyes saw ten Sneasels glaring through the ice.

Mia kicked off the ground and placed both her feet on the top of the icicle, her upside down body now balancing precariously over something clearly not meant to take her weight. She closed her eyes and pushed her feet off the icicle. The force flung her body around in an arc over the spear of ice and she pulled it out of the ground and flipped it over her head, throwing it at the Baltoy with as much force as she could muster. It jammed into Ruin’s eyes socket, but the Baltoy spun at just the right angle off the ground to kick-start a series of rocks into flight. And then Ruin plopped onto the ground and wriggled about trying to get up.

Mia quickly conjured another, wider, icicle to try and shield herself from the stunning heat, but none came. She poked out from behind the makeshift shield and was pelted by a stone. She hastily retreated back to the comfort of her shield. But another jagged rock, driven by some ancient force and its equally querulous purple aura, stabbed right into the shield. Another blew by and took off a chunk before striking an unfortunate waterfowl somewhere off. Mia crouched under her shield and forced her claws beneath it, pulling it up. She breathed, trying to ignore the whizzing of the rocks, so that sharp they almost cut the air in two. With a warcry she heaved up the shield and raised it far above her head. At which point the last stone slammed into her stomach and she doubled over. The already cracked plate of ice slid out of her claws and broke open against the sand, leaving small puddles in its wake.

Ruin twirled about quickly, the closest it could get to happiness, and fired off another gleam at the glowering Sneasel. It stopped Mia from glaring, at least.

Notes:
-As Sneasel is an agile enough ‘mon, I rolled a one in five chance of Mia being hit by Stealth Rocks (or rather stepping on them like the damn legos they are) for the first action. Since Knock Off requires one to get pretty close to the enemy. She did not suffer the plight of legoleg.
-Hey, your energies are exactly half your health totals!

-LotF to command.

How could this have gone so wrong

Begin with Snarl so hopefully we'll live through the round

then Icicle Crash I guess

and Icicle Crash again

If they Protect use Hone Claws

aaaand if there's a Reflect, Ice Beaaam

Snarl / Hone Claws ~ Icicle Crash / Hone Claws / Ice Beam x2

damn I thought I was good at this
