Battle of the Volcano! Maxim vs. Pwnemon - An ASB Warstory

Only Maxim, Pwnemon, Its_A_Random, & any required sub-referees, are permitted to post in this thread for the duration of the battle. Any other post made will be moderated.

Well then... I guess this is a great place for a battle. A big volcano, abundant sources for anything to be used, great substitute for the ASB Arena & a meadow, right? Well, could be worse... Anyhow, I was hired by the IASBO to referee this match I guess between two Americans, so I guess I should put on a good show & showcase the sport, & showcase other things like strategic depth, right? Moving on, I guess we need to introduce our combatants & shit...

ARENA

Its_A_Random said:

The arena is a hard area with a volcano not too far in the distance. There is a patch of grass to one side, but it is mostly hard ground, though soft enough to dig into, & there are minor patches of dead grass here & there. A small pool of water is also present to one side near the large grass patch, enough to provide an external water source for those that need it. Rocks & stones are abundant as well. Basically, no restrictions, & once again, an alternative to the ASB Arena that is not a meadow... -.-'

Well then, it is time to meet the combatants. Our first trainer hails form Oklahoma in USA, & is better known as the Normal-type Gym Leader of this game. He has some other minor achievements as well, & he brings a balanced team with him. The Togekiss he brought along with him will be critical to his success, with an advantageous matchup type-wise over his opponent's team, though the lack of Dazzling Gleam may hurt. Introducing: Maxim!

TEAM MAXIM


His opponent today hails from Maryland in USA, & is known as the Grass-type Gym Leader. He was on the tournament winning team in the ASBTT, & also brings a balanced team as well. His Cyclohm will be critical to his success, as his only major option to combat Togekiss, especially with no Dazzling Gleam to make him think twice about using Cyclohm. Introducing: Pwnemon!

TEAM PWNEMON


Now then, I guess it is time to flip a coin! If the result is heads, then Maxim sends out first. If the result is Tails, then Pwnemon sends out first.



Heads it is, & so, Maxim will send out first! Battle begin!

MAXIM VS. PWNEMON

Round One - Fight!

Well the battle has started. Maxim is the first to send out, & he sends out Marco the Gallade, equipping him with a Life Orb. Solid first choice, as Pwnemon counters by sending out Ambrose the Pyroak, equipping him with a Shell Bell. With the two parties ready for battle, the battle was on!



The Gallade is the first to act, & he decides to erect a powerful barrier, so much that not only it can reduce the power of physical attacks, but repel attacks as well! The Pyroak then attempts to break it with a powerful, fiery charge, but the power of the barrier repels the attack, as the Gallade becomes exhausted & needs to cool down. The barrier drops, as the Pyroak fires up a gust of sweltering heat at the Gallade from his arm cannons, dealing some damage. At this point, the protective barrier dropped, but the reflective barrier stayed. The Gallade then went on the offensive, slashing the Pyroak with a blade of psychotic energy, dealing damage to him before the Gallade took recoil damage from his Life Orb. To round off the round, the Pyroak then rammed into the Gallade, dealing some damage to him & recovering some health from his Shell Bell.

With the round done, it is a somewhat even start, but it looks like Pwnemon has the advantage, especially given he managed to drain a lot of energy from the Gallade, even if it was unintentional. Other than that, it is early days in the match, & a lot can happen! What will happen next round? Let us find out soon enough in this arena near a volcano!

MAXIM VS. PWNEMON

Round Two - Fight!



The Pyroak begins the round by summoning a protective barrier that protects him from any attack that the Gallade uses. The Gallade then tries to get pass the barrier by attempting to telepathically link its mind to the Pyroak, but it seems like the Gallade could never get a link through that impenetrable barrier of the Pyroak. This angered the Gallade, & from the moment the barrier of the Pyroak's dropped, the Gallade took advantage. The Gallade used telekinetic powers to then take control of the Pyroak, & then strike him with a powerful mental assault that even manages to weaken the Pyroak's resistance a little bit! In the meantime the Gallade took more damage from the power of his orb, & could not avoid a fiery wisp coming from the Pyroak's arm cannons, which then proceeded to internally burn the Gallade! This in turn made the Gallade weaker, & that showed a little when he proceeded to belt the Pyroak with a series of blows from short range, which made the Gallade feel more weaker! Worse yet, the Gallade could not get back in time as the Pyroak scorched him while he took recoil from his item, taking impressive damage as the Pyroak recovered some health! The Pyroak's special powers were weakened in the process though, as the barrier that was helping the Gallade absorb attacks wore off.

With the round done, Pwnemon appears to have gained a little momentum, but both combatants have been weakened quite a bit this round, making for a harder hitting next round, should these two stay on. What will happen next round? Well, we will be able to find out once these two combatants have ordered!

Round Three - Fight!

Opting for an alternative course, Pwnemon decides to call his Pyroak back to his bench. In return, Pwnemon goes ahead to send out his Cyclohm to take on Maxim's Gallade! Armed with an Expert Belt, the Cyclohm is ready to take on whatever the Gallade will throw at him! Maxim refused to switch, so Cyclohm vs. Gallade it is!



I am going to edit flavour into here eventually. I am over DQ as it is, so...

Basically the Cyclohm takes out the Gallade with little troubles, & Pwnemon is up 3-2. The Gallade could only deal 11 Damage & set up a Light Screen. Yay...

Round Four - Fight!

With his Gallade down for the count, Maxim goes ahead & sends out Cinccino, holding a Silk Scarf. It is his only favourable choice against the Cyclohm, as the Cinccino gets ready for battle!



I will flush this out with flavour at a later date. Basically Pwnemon plays defensive & loses a fair bit of energy to stall out the round & phase Cinccino out for a favourable matchup against a Togekiss, though the Cyclohm still took a fair chunk of damage. What will happen next round? Read on.

I will get to this soon enough. Though I should note why Cinccino is a good Pokémon to use against a Cyclohm: Multi-hit moves like Tail Slap gives you an effective 83.19% chance to paralyse yourself against Cyclohm. Yay Static...
