Recently: You've begin your battle with Emma of the Elite Four. Nibbles scrapped with Mamoswine and took down Articuno using Stealth Rock.
General rules:
There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.
Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.
Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.
Combat involves rolls! Once there's a clear vote winner, we roll for the move accuracy/crit/secondary effect. Usually it's just three 1d100s. Sometimes you can get a modifier from circumstances, so be creative! Add flair, do tricks with moves, mess with terrain, whatever! This is not a video game.
Call me out on a mistake and receive an apology butt or suggestive picture.

It's back.
Nice to catch this as it goes up. Hi Gobble.
First order of business: dealing with the botched Stealth Rock before Nibbles faints.
GobblegobblegobbleBUTTS
It's daylight savings tonight over here so already 3:30AM. Guess I'll have to hope anons can play it well!
Emma retrieves Articuno. She looks a excited at the intensity of the match, but also deflated at losing Articuno so early on.
Nibbles, who has taken a heroic beating so far but somehow not caring about it, breathes heavily. Earlier on, he was beating himself for messing up his Stealth Rock. After taking down Articuno, though, he seems back to his old self. He sits on the arena floor and scratches some dust and dirt out from around his neck using his rear leg.
“And incredible match, so far. Truly masterful use of Stealth Rock.”
“That’s right, Chip. Emma has been bringing blow after blow down onto that Tyrantrum, and it’s still managed to keep going.”
She seems to be taking her time. You guess she’s in no rush. Her eyes dart around the arena, looking at the layout of the water, land bridge, cover, and stealth rocks.
You could take this chance to swap Pokemon. If you’re fast, you could even run to the PC and make a switch there. Or you can use a setup move while she hesitates.

My Commando got hit with a bullshit critical, but saved the party from another squad of stormtroopers that showed up to reinforce the first one by diving into them with two grenades on him.

>>46276906
Clearly, they've developed a taste for it.
“Nibbles! Stomp out those Stealth Rocks!”
“So that’s your move, huh?” Emma smiles as she sends our her next Pokemon. Avalugg. It comes out already spinning. “You know what to do! Rapid Spin! Send them back!”
She’s moving much faster than you expected. It’s like she was waiting for you to do something and planning to counter it before you could prepare your next move.
The flat-topped ice Pokemon spins away the Stealth Rock on it’s side. Instead of just knocking them out of the battle though, they end up replacing the ones Nibbles is taking out.
Nibbles can’t keep up. He’s exhausted, and each Stealth Rock he manages to destroy damages him slightly. He’s determined to clear up his mistake though, and keeps at it despite the occasional misstep.
Nibbles turns around and is disheartened that almost everything he’s clear out has been replaced. Then suddenly, another Stealth Rock comes flying her Emma’s side, striking him in the back. He stumbles over into a rock formation, roaring as he goes down.
“Tyrantrum is unable to battle.” The referees are quick to make the call. The poor guy did his best, but he was taken down by his own move.
“Good job,” you tell his ball as you retrieve him. “You took down Articuno and rough up Mamoswine.”
And there’s one other thing. While the majority of the Stealth Rocks were cleared, he opened a small path you can throw a Pokemon in, if you aim well.
Who will you choose to take on Avalugg?

Good thing we are using Flash Cannon then. Sparkle is a OHKO on anything. Should save it for a desperate offense.
>>46277550
I disagree. Light travel on more beaten paths with Robin for the mid years, then settling down on the land that the nobles set aside for her in their later years.
>>46277566
Like Violet's Mewtwo.
Actually, that makes me wonder:
Has she got Mewtwo, the original and best, or Newtwo, the one from the most recent film starring it.
Apparently they're different Mewtwos, with Newtwo being created by Team Flare.
>>46277588
Well I disagree with you, we need a source of income. Turning away work is bad no matter how you slice it.
Also gen 6 got something right with its champion, a movie star champion is awesome.
You take out Zappy Dan. It’s been awhile since he’s had a chance to shine.
And shine he does! His metallic coating looks sparkly and clean. His new diet and training is doing wonders.
He casually takes in his opponent and circumstances. A Stealth Rock explodes on his back, but it wasn’t a full hit. Plus with his typing it's not that big of a deal. It certainly woke up him, though.
“Looks like Kat is going for the type advantage.”
“Indeed. But will it be enough to handle Emma’s notorious counter-attacking strategies?”
Emma has Avalugg reposition slightly. She’s planning something.
There’s still only one path to Avalugg. She’s been trying to bait you over it. There’s a pond in between, and a broken path to your right that a Pokemon might be able to leap over if it’s a good jumper.
You examine her Avalugg. It’s got Sturdy as it’s ability.

That's a bit more like it.
“Flash Cannon!”
Dan goes first, which is incredibly unusual for him. He’s almost always the slowest thing on the field.
The shot flashes out instantly, creating a shiny, almost rainbow-like reflection. It pierces Avalugg, making it kick back a bit.
But Avalugg holds on and counters with Mirror Coat! With twice the power of Dan’s Super Effective and powerful Special Attack, a beam rips out, throwing Dan up into the air and back onto his head.
“As soon as you brought out Magnezone, I knew you’d go on the offensive like that,” Emma tells you. “Some people might be calling you the Status Queen, but I’m the best there is at counter-strategy!”
Dan sloppily rights himself. That was a devastating blow. Judging by how badly it hurt Avalugg, you can only imagine how jolting it was for Dan. He probably already doesn’t much left in him already.

“Light Screen!” You have Dan put up a defensive barrier, making your team much more resistant to Special Attacks. It’s a safe bet.
“Rest!”
Damnit! Her Avalugg is resting off the damage. It cozily falls asleep and regains all lost health from Flash Cannon.
Emma smiles. “I’m surprised. I assumed you were going to use an offensive status move.”
The announcers speculate. “Interesting moves on both sides.”
“Indeed. Looks like they’re both trying to out-predict the other. It’s mind games and strategy. But who will come out on top?”

Guys we can use this rest takes 2 turns and Sparkle cannon is a one hit KO all we have to do is Lock on.
So we might be able to pull it off?

Well this would worry me if I didn't know she was going to use a sleep dependent move.
Don't bullshit us gobble.
You’re tempted to use Lock-on and debut Sparkle Cannon, but you worry that she has a strategy while sleeping. Something else is nagging you that it might not work, either.
“Electric Terrain!”
Dan light’s up the ground, creating a web of sparking electricity. It coats the ground and jolts Avalugg awake.
Emma orders her Pokemon to use Sleep Talk, but it fails.
“Incredible foresight from the challenger!”
“Indeed, Chip.
You can sense just a tiny bit of fluster from her. First you don’t fall for her baiting with Mamoswine, then you bring down Articuno, and now you’re keeping Avalugg from doing what it apparently does well with.
“I love it! Keep surprising me!” She shouts. The normally chill women is getting heated. “
You’re still facing a problem. Her Avalugg is fully healed and it knows it can take one shot from Dan before going down. Infact, with Sturdy, it’s guaranteed.

“Alright,” Emma says. “But you’re not out of the woods yet! Isn’t that right, Avalugg?”
Her Pokemon bounces cutely for a moment, then goes back to being the fierce Elite Four Pokemon you were facing a moment ago. You can tell there’s a real bond there. “Mirror Coat!”
But you and Dan have your own bond. “Thunderwave!”
Dan already knows it’s coming. He zaps off a wide wave of yellow light, paralyzing his opponent.
Avalugg can’t move! Not that Mirror Coat would have helped.

“Avalugg! Here it comes! Substitute!”
Avalugg tries it’s best, but it’s unable to move.
“Now, Dan! Magnet Bomb!”
Dan fires off a hard, metal bomb that homes in on it’s target. There’s an explosion on Avaluggs tough, icey hide.
“Trying to break through our defense, huh?”

“We need to change it up! Avalugg! Superpower!”
As she’s making that command, you have Dan fire off Flash Cannon. It pierces through Avaluggs’ weak Special Defences.
Avalugg stumbles and falls into the pond as it’s struck. Despite it not being Dan’s most powerful display, his special attack power is still very high.
Avalugg fails to get back up. Emma recalls it just as the ref’s declare it unable to battle.
“A close match.”
“You’ve got that right, Chip. The play and counterplay is amazing.”
“Alright! Mamoswine, you’re back in!”
Her Mamoswine appears again. It’s taken some damage from fighting Nibbles, but as a ground type, it has an advantage against Dan.
Mamoswine roars as it enters. It looks eager to prove itself after being forced to run away before.

We go first though, we should hopefully hit Avalugg hard enough to put it down at least.

Take a chance
we can Explode on the next one

I'm tempted to say explosion, but we really shouldn't get in the habit of using it as a crutch in these situations.

[5 minute, quote only vote. Mirror Shot, or Explosion? Remember, only exact quotes will count]
>explosion
>mirror
>>46281884
But that's literally what Explosion was designed for. We're at low health, we have a type disadvantage, and we've already traded one for the damage Dan's taken. If we explode now, we come out ahead. If we use another move and miss or fail, we only traded 1:1.

I wasn't clear:
Gobble said ages back when Dan first learned it that it was seen as a legit move, so long as you didn't ask it of your pokemon all the time.
We kind of do, whenever Dan is in his current situation.
>>46282172
I always thought he meant multiple uses in a short amount of time
We haven't even used Dan in awhile
>>46282172
Have we even used this in a real match before?

He said that there's no problem with using it as long as you aren't spamming the move over and over.
To the pokemon it feels like blowing off a bunch of steam and taking a nice rest afterwards.

Have we ever used Explosion? I don't remember doing so.
In any case, what'd be a dick move is exploding as an opener, not using it as a finisher when you're all but wiped already, which is exactly where it shines.
We haven't used Dan enough recently for anything to qualify as "done all the time" anyway.
>>46282261
>>46282252
>>46282268
Really
Here's hoping she used a status move
>>46282261I instinctively knew it was coming.I REGRET NOTHING.NOTHING!
>>46282172
It's healthy for the pokemon to preform the move generally. Releases excess power stores, and it doesn't hurt the mon so much as just exhaust it.
>>46282261
You killed us.
>>46282252

We're at like -3 crit value think fight.

>>46282356
Gobble has turned against us. Kat's going to lose an eye or something. Well it's an explosion so maybe she'll just be burned and lose her looks.
>>46282382
Time for crying about if Robin will ever love us again
Dan can't even anhero right.
Git ur shit together m8
So Dan is gonna Explode but miss completely and possibly take out our last bridge over to her pokemon
Aria or Raistlin next?
>>46282406
>Zappy Dan has had enough of our shit.jpg
>>46282427
Aria.
So is Dan going to blow up for real?
>>46282427
Let's go Raistlin and give Emma the Stealth Rocks with Teleport or Raistlin's telekinetic powers.
>>46282440
>dan actually suicides
>sprays the crowd with his molten innards
>Kat disqualified for multiple counts of manslaughter and one count of pokemon abuse
Can't wait until it somehow backfires and we're hurt and the stadium is broken but we finish the fight anyway and once Dan's healed we find out
> Dan has learned Self Destruct!
Or some new flavor of Explosion that's a really a nuke.
>>46282474
Are self destruct and explosion any different?
Well, I've been called to do housework.
Win this for me Anons.
I'll stick around as long as I can, but I won't be able to stay until the end.
>>46282382
Robin attempting to comfort us but hesitating, just slightly, before each kiss.
Viewers are turned off, we lose the gravy train. Everybody says they don't mind going back to tents and pre-made food, but the quiet sighs each morning give them away.Robin falling into a loop of depression and self-hatred as she fails to reconcile with our maiming, becomes disgusted with herself for feeling that way when Kat stood by her in the same situation, and slowly starts pushing us away as she convinces herself that she's not worth being with usWhich conveniently lets her avoid looking at us anymore.

Self Destruct has 200 power
Explosion has 250
