TruetoCheese vs JackPK

shit shit shit

OK, Sheena, your priority this round is to not get KO'ed. He's faster than you now, so this sucks.

Your default commands are to use Acrobatics until it hits and damages him successfully, then Power-Up Punch thereafter. Wait for him to move; I don't care if you wait-stall each other so long that you both lose an action. Just wait to see what he's doing first. Don't let him wait and move after you, even for a low-priority attack.

Replace that with Protect if he's commanded to use Brick Break, Bulldoze, Cross Chop, Drain Punch, Dynamic Punch, Foul Play, Gunk Shot, Headbutt, Ice Punch, Poison Jab, Retaliate, Rock Climb, Rock Slide, Secret Power, Strength, Sucker Punch, Thunder Punch, Venoshock, X-Scissor... basically, anything powerful. If that list is too long for you to remember, just remember to Protect if he uses anything that looks powerful.

Don't Protect twice in a row, though.

Cross your fingers so hard if he uses something that might mess this up and get us KO'ed this round.

wait and Acrobatics/Protect ~ wait and Acrobatics/wait and Power-Up Punch/Protect x2
 
uggggh next time I feel ill I'm gonna go straight to bed instead of trying to finish a reffing first

I forgot to put in Sheena's status that Torrent is now activated. If that changes anything, feel free to edit your commands.
 
No, I'll keep the same commands. But thanks for the heads-up, and I hope you get to feeling better!
 
Alrighty Frog I think we have Sheena here. Charge up a Drain Punch walking towards her, given her commands she'll instantly protect. Good, redirect the punch into the Sun-Flower and destroy it. Then finish her with a Sludge Wave and a Sludge Bomb.

Round Eleven​

TruetoCheese (1/2 left)
Croagunk
Frog ♂ @ Lucky Egg
Ability: Anticipation
Health: 52%
Energy: 36%
Status: Casually brushing himself off. That was totally on purpose. Cannot use special moves (1 more round).

JackPK (1/2 left)
Froakie
Sheena ♀
Ability: Torrent
Health: 21%
Energy: 81%
Status: A little hurt inside. Nobody would think twice about using her as a shield... Torrent activated. Poisoned (1% damage/action). +1 Attack, -2 Speed.

------------------------------​

Safely back on the ground at last, Sheena surveys her opponent in perfectly unremarkable lowercase. There are no unsuspecting children to use as shields here, only unsuspecting fake plants, so she's really gotta get on her guard. So when Frog pulls back his fist and it starts swirling with bright green energy, she summons up a near-transparent shield to defend her without a second thought. She's safe in here! Yeah, that'll show that frog! God, frogs. Frogs are so dumb.

The smile is wiped right of her face when Frog twists around and slams his fist into the strange plant stubbornly clinging to his skin instead. The force of the blow dislodges the Sun-Flower and throws it back against the wall, where tendrils of that same green energy attempt to penetrate it to no avail. Sheena drops her shield in relief, feeling kind of silly... and then Frog takes advantage of this moment to freaking BELCH POISONOUS SLUDGE EVERYWHERE. AND I MEAN EVERYWHERE. THERE IS SLUDGE ON THE CEILING. THERE IS SLUDGE ON THE WALLS. THERE IS SLUDGE COVERING EVERY SINGLE FAKE PLANT UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE LIVING IN THIS ROOM. The plastic plants plastic wilt as the sludge eats into their plastic roots. The green walls are now purple. The two trainers and the ref are covered in the filthy stuff. And most importantly of all, so is Sheena, and she winces as the gross, slimy substance soaks into her skin and wreaks havoc upon her system from the inside. Just kidding, she doesn't just wince. She full-out screams, because it hurts.

When she's done screaming, though, she flips upside-down onto her head. Nope, the room looks just as gross this way. So she somersaults to right herself and then leaps and twirls oh-so-gracefully around Frog #2, each landing punctuated with a weird sucking sound as her feet sink into the sludge, punching and kicking at Frog #2 whenever she has a free arm or leg. For her finale, she attempts a freakin' pirouette, but alas, the slime on the ground is having none of it, so she trips. But she tripped Frog #2 harder, so it's okay except OH MY GOD HE'S GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. SHEENA CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. HER BEAUTIFUL SKIN CANNOT BE RUINED. So she inflates yet another protective bubble to repel the stream of toxic waste that Frog #2 spits at her, and the attack rebounds right off her bubble into her trainer's shirt, and all is good in the world because she's still unharmed. Nice.

Sheena ♀
Ability: Torrent
Health: 7%
Energy: 65%
Status: Suddenly remembering that she's barely able to stand. Maybe she's not so unharmed. Torrent activated. Poisoned (1% damage/action). +1 Attack, -2 Speed.
Used: Protect ~ Acrobatics ~ Protect

Arena Status
  • The battlers are in the green car. There are fake plants and shit. They're all covered in gross sludge, so they're fake-wilting.
  • Actually, it's not the green car anymore, since the walls are covered in purple sludge.

Damage and Energy

  • Frog's Health: 52% - 14% (Acrobatics) = 38%
  • Frog's Energy: 36% - 4% (Drain Punch) - 4% (Sludge Wave) - 5% (Sludge Bomb) = 23%
  • Sheena's Health: 21% - 1% (poison) - 11% (Sludge Wave) - 1% (poison) - 1% (poison) = 7%
  • Sheena's Energy: 81% - 2% (Protect) - 7% (Acrobatics) - 7% (Protect) = 65%

Notes
  • Frog's Drain Punch destroyed the Sun-Flower stuck to him, so he was able to use special attacks after that. He couldn't actually drain anything off it because it was made of plastic.
  • Sludge Bomb is pretty powerful, so Sheena Protected against it. It was a crit, so Protect cost more energy.
  • The battlers are still in the plant room.
  • TruetoCheese commands first.
 
Good thing Protect's use counter isn't reset over rounds.

Alright Frog we've seen a couple of things in our time. Couple of really bad, really monstrous things. Mainly the roof. We've survived to tell the tale, just barely. But we've survived. And that made us dark and brooding and gloomy and like really cool. So we should expulse the darkness that consumes us. Wail your anguish into the sky. If that doesn't work just punch her. If you're somehow on the final action...hmm, the sludge smattering the walls might be wearing a bit thin. We should give it another fresh coat.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWLING IIIIN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
 
Darn, I was hoping to be able to chip off enough damage last round to, by some miracle, get him under the damage cap this round. I really didn't foresee you actually bothering to get rid of the Sun-Flower, TTC.

Good game. No way I can see to do much else but die with dignity.

Time to go out like a Cirque du Soleil performer.

Acrobatics until you faint

Man, Frog's life sucks. He's spent the last few minutes battling on the roof of a fucking TRAIN. He's been belittled as Frog #2 when he is truly the number one frog. Nobody appreciates him. Not even his trainer, who got mad at him for getting slime on his shirt. It's not like Frog #2 can help his slimy heritage. He focuses on all these horrible events of his past, drawing power from them that manifests into a dull gray wave of darkness that spreads in all directions. Everything it touches fades to black and white, every plastic plant wilts a little more. Sheena is the last to fall, frozen in place for a second by the surge of negative energy that overwhelms her. She thought she was going to get pizza... and instead... there is only... darkness. Alas.

  • Good game, both of you! I hope my silly mistakes while reffing didn't have too much of a negative impact on the experience. Go forth and fill that battle slot.
 
Aww, that was a great game. Around the end of our Honedges' battle I really thought it was gonna come down more evenly matched than that, but you really pulled ahead of me with those Super Fangs. Nice job.

And thank you Eifie for such speedy and hilarious reffings!
 
Great game, Jack! If there's one saving grace in Honedge's Shadow Claw of a movepool, it's Destiny Bond. Thank ye both kindly for writing Honedge smut with me. Pizza for everyone! If you don't mind slime toppings, that is.
