Negrek vs. Mawile

[Vipera Magnifica]

That makes sense for burn and regular poison, but it makes dealing with severe poison more complicated when the damage isn't a multiple of 3. How would you distribute the damage in that case?

 

[Negrek]

Divide the amount of damage that would have been done for the whole round by three, then round down (minimum one). That gives you the per-action damage. Then multiply by the number of actions it was in effect.

Basically toxic's going to be doing either 1% or 2% on a per-action basis.

Sorry, I wasn't really sure if you were done with corrections or not whoops

But anyway! Let's use Shadow Ball three times. If she tries to inflict a status/Taunt you, Magic Coat it back at her. If she has clones, switch to Discharge until they're gone.

Okay, so it turns out that I missed, for this ENTIRE DANGED BATTLE, that Phlogiston actually has an experience point, so all of her attacks should have been doing +1% damage. That was totally my bad, and there's no reason you should have to go back and update the previous rounds to account for that, but it's something you'll want to remember for the future. And learn from my mistake: the system doesn't automatically indicate the EXP for pokemon in the active squad, so you have to go and manually check that before putting together the first round.

Let's go to ground for a round, Phlogiston. Dig underground, then rest up (and chill). Make your tunnel twisty enough so that Windows 99 won't be able to fire those shadow balls down after you.

If you find yourself filled with such all-consuming RAGE that you just can't bring yourself to do some digging, let off some steam with flamethrowers. Then please do get your relaxation on with a slack off.

If you're paralyzed on the first action, flamethrower on your second action, then slack off.

Okay, so it turns out that I missed, for this ENTIRE DANGED BATTLE, that Phlogiston actually has an experience point, so all of her attacks should have been doing +1% damage.

Speaking of this, Windows 99 actually has 3 experience points.

 

[Vipera Magnifica]

Now hold on just a minute...

Naturally, more experienced Pokémon are going to wield their attacks more effectively. Therefore, you give a bonus to the damage based on how many EXP the Pokémon has gained. Simply divide the number of experience points the Pokémon has by four and round down. No more than 2% damage may be added by this modifier.

According to the D&E guide, to determine the EXP modifier, you divide the number of experience points by four and round down. Ergo, a Pokemon shouldn't have any kind of boost until it has at least four experience points.

What you just said definitely contradicts that.

 

[Negrek]

My bad. Carry on, then.

Windows 99 tries to focus, but the lingering pain from its wounds make it difficult for the Porygon-Z to concentrate. Windows 99 takes all its anger and channels it into creating a powerful ball of shadowy energy. All of the Porygon-Z’s hateful emotions manifest themselves in the form of an ethereal blob, which Windows 99 then sends hurtling towards its intended target. Phlogiston barely makes it off the ground before being struck at full force. She is promptly sent flying backwards as the ghostly energy seeps its way into her skin, weakening her resolve. The Chimchar tries to get back up, but with her muscles still locked up, she can do little more than take a few deep breaths as she tries to work past the numbness in her limbs.

Wishing to inflict further pain, the Porygon-Z creates another ghostly ball and flings it at the Chimchar still lying on the ground. The force of the second impact startles Phlogiston, but may have been exactly what she needed to snap out of her immobilized state. The caustic shadow energy clings to Phlogiston, but she tries to ignore it as she gets to her feet and lets out a scorching-hot stream of flames. The fire engulfs the Porygon-Z, and it screams out furiously as its burns are overrun with pain.

Angrier than ever, the Porygon-Z forms a third ball of sinister energy and launches it at Phlogiston. The Chimchar closes her eyes and takes a defensive stance, but the Shadow Ball is so powerful it sends her tumbling backwards. Dazed by the attack, Phlogiston is barely able to remain conscious. She starts to get up, but then… decides to lie flat and try to regain a bit of her strength. Maybe if I just ignore it, it will go away, the Chimchar thinks to herself.

Windows 99 watches its opponent loaf about, and becomes outraged. What kind of opponent just… slacks off like that in the middle of a battle? The Porygon-Z starts to prepare another Shadow Ball, ready to punish its opponent, but the referee notices this and quickly blows his whistle, reminding the Pokémon that the round had already finished.

Hnngh okay. I don't see anything really to comment on so I'll just get to commands...

Phlogiston, I know you're not my poke, but er, listen to me anyhow, ye? >_> Our options are kinda limited by er, multiple factors, like your paralysis, our opponent's movepool, and ah... commanding first... but we'll see what we can do here... Let's go with Flamethrower's while you can. If you're too paralyzed to move, try to Chill, and do the same if Windows 99 is protecting or otherwise unhittable. If there are clones, just spread the flames around until you hit the real one. If you're tormented, swap in Heat Wave, and if you're taunted, use your attacking option through any conditionals (even if there's a protect/etc.).

Before either trainer has any time to issue commands, one of the trainer’s cell phones starts ringing. Negrek takes out her phone and listens to the message with a rather concerned look on her face. Whatever it was must have been important, because the next thing she does is rush over to the judges spectating the match and whisper in the ear of one of the officials. Unclipping her standard issue Poké Ball belt, she hands her team over to the judge. She then apologizes to the other trainer and briskly makes her way to the exit. The judge who had been entrusted Negrek’s Pokémon then stands up and announces he would be taking over for her, and the battle would proceed normally.

After their quick strategy session, both trainers and their Pokémon are ready to begin. Windows 99 is first to move, but rather than attacking, it takes the time to change its biology once again. The Porygon-Z sheds its ghostly aura and after a brief transformation now has a shimmering veil of water surrounding it. Windows 99, now having the properties of a water-type Pokémon, looks rather smugly at its opponent, knowing that her fiery barrages would be weakened in power.

The Chimchar has little time to take this new development into consideration, as she had already been preparing her attack. Phlogiston unleashes a hot burst of flames at her opponent, but it doesn’t seem to faze the Porygon-Z much. The watery veil surrounding it had substantially weakened the attack. Windows 99 then starts to form a yellow-orange ball of light in front of itself, and continues pouring its energy into the ball until it is about the size of a Solosis. Windows 99 then sets loose the attack, which turns into a radiant beam of light that tears its way across the arena, hitting Phlogiston with incredible force. The Chimchar is sent tumbling, and after a few moments, she stands up on shaky legs and tries to regain her composure. Phlogiston takes a deep breath, and once again lets forth a river of flames at her opponent. The aqueous veil enveloping Windows 99 evaporates somewhat in the intense heat, and the Porygon-Z grimaces as the pain in its burns flares up once again. Still, Windows 99 doesn’t seem too put off by the attack, as its new typing offers it some degree of protection.

Windows 99 charges up another ball of light, and is straining to make it much larger than a grapefruit. After building up power, the Porygon-Z sends the blinding energy at Phlogiston, sending her flying once again. Windows 99 feels physically exhausted after the attack, having consumed a large amount of energy in a short amount of time. Phlogiston isn’t looking much better, and is bruised from the two preposterously strong bursts of energy that had collided into her. Yet she still manages to stand up, and prepares to deliver another onslaught of flames. The Chimchar calls upon a deep inner reserve of strength, and starts to glow red with fiery energy. She then releases another burst of searing flames, this one hotter and more powerful than her previous efforts. The water surrounding Windows 99 boils away as the flames scorch it, causing it to gasp in pain.

The referee blows on his whistle to end the round. Neither Pokémon is looking like it can withstand much more of this battle. But it still remains to be seen which battler will be the last one standing.

I think you can take a single hyper beam, Phlogiston, so let's test our luck! Not sure how Toxic damage is gonna divvy our through the round, but let's hope it, burn, and a Flamethrower + Incinerate will do the trick. If Windows 99 is still running, and you are too, get in a Vacuum Wave. If you can't move at all due to paralysis, well... you're not my poke, so, screw you, you suck, dumby >|

The tension in the arena is high as the spectators eagerly wait for the action of the next round to unfold. Phlogiston and Windows 99 lock eyes with each other, ready to finish what they had started. The referee raises the whistle to his lips, and after a few moments, gives it a forceful blow to start the new round. Without missing a beat, Windows 99 charges up another ball of light, straining hard to build it up quickly. Once it is large enough, the Porygon-Z unleashes the beam of radiant energy, which shoots across the arena and collides with one very bruised-looking Chimchar. Phlogiston crashes into the wall surrounding the stadium and plops face-down in front of it, just a few feet away from the spectators. A few moments pass while the people in the stands watch closely to see if the Chimchar can get up again. pathos gives the borrowed Pokémon an encouraging shout, and Phlogiston stands up once more, her legs shaky and her movements deliberate. She then wells up what little strength she has left and shoots a stream of flames at her opponent, scorching the Porygon-Z, who tries to put out the flames by rolling around on the artificial turf. After this desperate scene, Windows 99 slowly raises itself off the ground and prepares to deliver the final attack.

Before Windows 99 can move, however, Phlogiston starts running towards the Porygon-Z. In a last-ditch effort to vanquish her foe, the Chimchar unleashes a flurry of punches, sending a shockwave of pure vacuum at her target. Windows 99, caught off guard, is knocked to the ground. Several moments pass, and the Porygon-Z is still lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious. The referee is about to end the round when Windows 99 starts stirring again, and quickly pulls itself together for the final attack. The Porygon-Z creates another ball of light, though this time it is smaller than her previous efforts. Windows 99 unleashes the Hyper Beam, and the blinding energy sends Phlogiston through the air, crashing just in front of her trainer. The referee readies his whistle, and after a nod from the Chimchar’s trainer, he blows the whistle to end the round. His Pokémon down for the count, pathos takes out a Poké Ball from his bag and recalls the fainted Phlogiston. Shortly after this, Windows 99 collapses, finally succumbing to its injuries. The Porygon-Z’s eyes glow with a faint blue light, and after about a minute, fade to black.

Notes
-Flamethrower does not combo well with Incinerate. Flamethrower is meant to be a “powerful stream of flames” while Incinerate is a “relatively weak, slow-burning” fire attack. Aside from this, combining two different flame-based attacks makes little sense flavor-wise. The result was that Phlogiston defaulted to using Flamethrower.
-Phlogiston fainted after being hit by Windows 99’s Hyper Beam on action two.
-Windows 99 survived Phlogiston’s Vacuum Wave, but fainted on action two from toxic and burn damage.
