sreservoir vs. Simulator (Rayquaza)

[blazheirio889]

Alright then uh. Do your combo thing because we don't really have much of a choice, and when you finish... try to close your eyes? Anything to try to lower Hypnosis' accuracy. :P Though we'll probably still end up asleep. Though you still have plenty of energy left, so why not Sleep Talk? Though if by some miracle you are still awake, see if you can't dodge that Toxic and attack with Fly.

whee combo ~ nothing ~ Sleep Talk/Fly

 

[1. Luftballon]

... oh, right, that restriction is only on multiple combos in a round.

 

[Negrek]

Incorrect. The action after a combo, you must take an action to recharge. Substitute here can only be used on the third action, if you're going to take the first two actions as a combo.

 

[1. Luftballon]

is this another "rule threads are old, we'll go by negrek fiat"? because asb rules says "The pokémon performing this set of commands will perform only two actions, with the first having elements of both comet punch and thunderpunch and the second being light screen, which may correspond to its opponent's second or third action, depending on how the combo goes off. Note that it is also possible to chain all three actions together to form one stupendous combo attack. However, it is important to remember that not all attacks can logically combined. For example, it is rarely possible to combine hyper beam and, for example, ice beam, because hyper beam would usually be charged and fired from the same place as an ice beam, such that a pokémon wouldn't be able to power up and shoot both beams at once."

 

[Negrek]

Rules thread is old.

 

[blazheirio889]

... damnit. Negrek why must you keep nerfing combosss

Well Dragon, is it okay with you if I edit commands? Or have you already started?

 

[Dragon]

Yeah, go ahead. I haven't started yet.

 

[blazheirio889]

Actually, hold up a sec. Rayquaza was encored at the beginning of the round, so it would've been encored for 3 actions; Negrek says here that its encore counter would continue to go down, so Rayquaza should no longer be encored, right?

 

[1. Luftballon]

negrek also says there that encore timer goes by attempts at repetition. I doubt the recharge action counts as an attempt; but does inability to attack due to actions-per-round restrictions count as an attempt?

 

[Dragon]

I'd say no.

 

[Negrek]

No

 

[blazheirio889]

Alright, edited my commands.

Rayquaza bunches itself up and prepares to shoot at Vilya, when it finds itself stuck fast in the air. It looks around itself curiously, trying to see if anything is holding it down, though it finds nothing. Why couldn't it move, then? Vilya smirks at Rayquaza's confusion and takes the opportunity to push her mental energy outwards, forming a green shield of energy around herself that quickly fades from sight. Rayquaza roars and thrashes about in the air in an effort to break free from its invisible bonds, and Vilya strains to keep it in place with her mind. The effort of keeping the flailling Rayquaza hovering in the air as well as her protective energy shield up is too much though, and the Sky High Pokemon charges forwards with a roar as its invisible bonds break. Mouth open, Rayquaza flies at Vilya at a ridiculous speed only to hit the Kirlia's faint green barrier, which flares up with light as its teeth glance off the shield. The dragon spins around in the air and heads away from Vilya with a sore mouth and pride while the Kirlia drops the barrier with a sigh. She really hoped the rest of the battle wouldn't be as tiring as that.

Vilya closes her eyes and extends mental tendrils towards her opponent as it settles back in place across from her. Rayquaza looks at the Kirlia suspiciously, and flinches back as she opens her eyes and thrusts into its mind with her own. Rayquaza finds itself unable to break eye contact with Vilya, even as its own eyes begin to flutter and it suddenly feels drowsy. The dragon sinks lower in the air and lets its eyes shut. With such a weak opponent, going to sleep for a little while couldn't hurt, right? Rayquaza curls up tighter, oblivious to Vilya's sudden grin. This was going great.

Before she can make a move however, Rayquaza begins to babble something incomprehensible and twist about. Vilya drifts backwards cautiously. Was it not really asleep, then? Was Rayquaza just tricking her? The dragon's eyes snap open all of a sudden and Vilya jerks backwards in surprise, though a cloer look reveals its eyes to be out of focus, like it's operating on autopilot. Vilya tenses while Rayquaza takes in a huge breath and exhales slowly, creating a surprisingly cold gust of wind. The Kirlia can't help but shiver as the dragon's breath lowers her body temperature, and makes it a bit harder to move. Were those ice crystals just now, that hit her? Rayquaza seems to be properly asleep now; snoring lightly and paying the Kirlia no attention.

With a sort of half-shrug, Vilya gathers her wits about her and puts her hands together, closing her eyes again. She spreads her palms to form a sort of sphere between them, and small flecks of dirt fly from around the arena towards her open hands. The small orb of dirt slowly takes on a vague purple hue, and when the Kirlia is satisfied with it she flicks her hands out towards Rayquaza. The small purple sphere of dirt bursts on Rayquaza's side and the purple hue spreads along its scales for a few moments before fading slightly. The dragon pays its new stain no attention, only rousing slightly from its sleep as the black stain around its neck continues to spread with a crackling sound. The stain that was previously a collar shape seemed to have morphed into more of a huge shapeless black blotch than anything. Rayquaza sputters for a few moments in apparent pain before going back to its restful sleep.

-Extremespeed+Crunch had a 50/50 chance to break Telekinesis, and it did.
-Hypnosis still hit, though!
-Sleep Talk called Icy Wind.

-Simulator commands first.

 

[blazheirio889]

"Every round, Fire and Ice moves are randomly either boosted or deducted by 2%, both damage and energy. "
Since it actually matters now, which effect was it? Haha we probably need to revise that so people actually know when it happens...

Also Dragon, how much do you decrease base power of physical attacks by when a Pokemon is burned?

 

[Dragon]

Whoops forgot to write that in. I'll just. Stealthily.

And I treat burns as a -2 to Attack.

 

[blazheirio889]

Okay, Sleep Talk when asleep, Dragon Pulse when awake, Crunch if you can't use Dragon Pulse for whatever reason or if Vilya has a Light Screen. /lazy

Sleep Talk/Dragon Pulse/Crunch x3

 

[1. Luftballon]

status, status. thunder wave early, substitute quickly, then pain split. this seems adequate.

although, how do you do sleep?

thunder wave ~ substitute (20%) ~ pain split

 

[Dragon]

although, how do you do sleep?

Exactly what do you want to know?

 

[Dragon]

wow I can't be trusted with anything hahaha.

Rayquaza twists about and scrapes its tail on the ground below, opening its eyes with a start. Vilya frowns as the dragon looks around in confusion, presumably still a bit tired from its sleep. That tiny scrape against the ground enough to wake it up? Really? She sighs as Rayquaza roars and whips the tip of its tail about like an angry cat. Have at it, then. Rayquaza inhales deeply, snout pointed straight up in the air, and exhales in Vilya's direction. An orb of blueish-purple energy flows from its mouth towards the Kirlia and sears an interesting pattern into her skin. Tears of pain well up in her eyes as she looks up at the dragon. If it kept that up, she wouldn't be able to survive for long.

She'd just have to keep him from doing that, then. Vilya closes her eyes and moves her hands around shakily, electric sparks forming in the air around her. They bunch together in the air with a flick of her hand, and she sends them flying in a wave towards Rayquaza with a flick of the other hand. Rayquaza winces as the sparks burst on its side and make its muscles seize up. It growls as the tip of its tail freezes up and shoots a glare at Vilya. It could not catch a break. All these things flying at it and leaving stains on its nice scales. Couldn't Vilya just.. stop and fight? Instead of just spraying sparks everywhere and all.

Rayquaza inhales deeply and begins to gather energy in its mouth, when its jaw locks painfully and it slumps with a high pitched whine. Vilya grins and gets right to work gathering rocks together in front of herself with mental energy. She roughly lumps it together in the shape of a Kirlia and concentrates, really focuses on the rock-shape. A pinkish glow blinks into existence around the rocks and two spots of light that could vaguely be called eyes light up on the rock-Kirlia's head. The Substitute looks at its master and nods. It knew exactly what was needed of it.

Rayquaza coughs and growls an angry threat, having finally regained control of its jaw. With a hiss, it starts to focus energy into its mouth and exhales sharply, sending an orb of bluish-purple energy flying at Vilya. Fast as Rayquaza is, Vilya's Substitute is even faster, though. The rock-Kirlia leaps into the path of the attack and digs its legs into the ground to keep itself from flying backwards into its master. Vilya makes a small noise as the substitute shakes itself out and gets oriented again, missing a large chunk of its side. That.. looked painful.

Vilya would pay Rayquaza back for that, then. Reaching a mental tendril towards the dragon, she wraps her mind around its own and draws a portion of it away. Rayquaza freezes as it feels the odd sensation of its consciousness being drawn from its body and mingling with Vilya's. It wants to growl in confusion, but finds its body wasn't responding. What was this? A wall of mental energy divides the two suddenly, and both Pokemon retreat back into themselves warily. Rayquaza finds that it's feeling a lot weaker than before that mind mixing thing, while Vilya looks quite a lot healthier. Did it just steal its energy? What was going on?

Rayquaza wasn't sure exactly what was going on, though what it did know for sure was that Vilya's rock creation was going to prevent it from attacking its master. And that wasn't cool. It locks eyes with the Substitute and hisses, cocking its head back and drawing energy into its mouth. The dragon spits the energy towards Vilya and just as before, the rock-Kirlia leaps in the path of the attack. This time, it explodes violently into burnt chunks of rock, and Rayquaza locks eyes with the surprised Vilya proudly. That was what it was going to do to her, it roared. When it was done with her, Vilya would be a bunch of rock chunks on the ground. That was right.

Rayquaza freezes up and shivers as the effects of all the burns and stains on its body catch up to it. The black mark spreads even further down its back, now creeping up its claws, and the burns and faint purple stain on its front are stretched painfully. Rayquaza hisses in pain and curls its claws into fists. Ridiculous. Real Pokemon fought with attacks and dealt damage, and didn't just

... well, it's been a while, I suppose. not quite as bad as I did to pathos, though, I guess!

we are at ... well, probably at least 30 speed; and rayquaza, some 24, I believe. this is good, but not necessarily sufficient. if rayquaza does anything which would change your relative speeds, wait for it take the opportunity to Encore it -- it won't be very good for it in the long run if it can't exploit that speed. actually, hell, encore anything that hurts less than a dragon claw. which includes "does not hurt." if it does not try anything funny, instead start by inflicting confusion. if none of these apply, or if you simply cannot hit rayquaza ... eh, just chill; you'll need the energy. it's not as if it can really afford to substitute, either, what with it dying from residuals.
