RPG wanted to test out his super secret team against me, and I wanted to see his super secret team. According to RPG, everything had base totals above 600 and 3 were at 680, which I took to mean that RPG was using 3 legendaries and 3 non-legendary, awesome pokemon. I brought out a team resembling the one I would have used for tournament 6 battles if the tournament got that far. Too bad it didn't.
It Begins in Bold!
Speedy Ninjask was my first choice, who went against Kyogre. As expected, it started raining. Ninjask led with substitute-Kyogre used Calm Mind. Ninjask used Swords Dance, and the Substitute was busted by Ice Beam. Ninjask used Substitute, Kyogre used ice beam, substitute, ice beam, etc. for a few turns of madness. For a change of pace, Ninjask used Baton Pass, sending its enhancements over to Drapion. Drapion survived Thunder by a hair, and next turn ko'd Kyogre with Night Slash.
Palkia was the next pokemon RPG brought in to do battle. Of all the moves at my disposal, I opted for Earthquake. At the time I thought Palkia was Dragon/Steel, and Night Slash would barely scratch it while Earthquake would probably hit for a super effective and knock it out off the bat. Whoops. Palkia was reduced to 1/8 health and surfed for the knockout.
Salamence came out next, about to Dragon Pulse to force a knockout. Palkia is faster. Spacial Rend was super effective and feinted Salamence. Â
Next up was Weavile. Weavile led with Swords Dance, to be hit by Palkia's surf. Weavile survived because of its Focus Sash. Next turn Weavile ice punched and Palkia was defeated.
After this RPG sent out Manaphy. Weavile Night Slashed, and Manaphy held on with a whopping 1/6 health left. Manaphy surfed for the ko.
Communication error. Which is a shame because I didn't think RPG had much left in the tank.
It Continues with Subtle Undertones!
Ninjask took on Kyogre (again). Ninjask used substitute, and this time RPG wasted no time and led with Thunder. This continued for many turns before Ninjask could no longer substitute. Baton Pass brought Drapion into a Thunder, which left it alive with 2 health. And paralyzed. Kyogre surfed, wasting several of my turns and two pokemon.
Salamence was sent out next in my team. Salamence used Draco Meteor...and Kyogre endured the hit with 1/8 health left. Ice Beam for the ko.
Weavile was sent out to do great justice. Weavile used Swords Dance, and Kyogre surfed it to 1/6 health. Next turn Weavile Night Slashed for the feint.
In response RPG had Manaphy come in to do battle. Weavile used Night Slash once more, reducing Manaphy to 1/6 health (again). Manaphy surfed for the knockout.
In desperation I turned to Ninjask. Ninjask used Aerial Ace. Knockout and great justice!
Modest attack form Deoxys was RPG's next choice. Modest attack form Deoxys was hit by Aerial Ace, resulting in a feint.
Next RPG sent in Lugia. Ninjask Baton Passed to Togekiss who, being an awesome pokemon, absorbed the hit with 3/4 health remaining. On the next turn Togekiss used Nasty Plot. Aeroblast hit for critical...which didn't matter because Togekiss was left with 2 hp! Shadow Ball hit Lugia for critical and a one-shot ko.
Palkia came in. Togekiss used Air Slash, and Palkia survived with 1/8 (popular fraction) health. Surf wasted Togekiss.
Ninjask again. Aerial Ace knocked Palkia out. RPG had one pokemon left. I tasted victory.
It Ends with an Unexpected Twist!
Said pokemon was Giratina. Ninjask baton passed to Vaporeon. Giratina Aerial Aced Vaporeon to 9/10 damage, leftovers brought Vaporeon up to some other high and insignificant fraction. Vaporeon used Ice Beam, reducing Giratina to roughly 1/2 health. In an unexpected twist, Giratina froze!
In an unexpected twist, Giratina thawed out!
Shadow Force. Shit. Leftovers to nearly full health. Hooray.
Vaporeon used acid armor. Shadow Force hit Vaporeon for ~100 damage. Vaporeon used Acid Armor next turn, and Giratina used Shadow Force. Vaporeon used acid armor again for a whopping 6 stage increase, and took Shadow Force for minimal damage. On the next turn Vaporeon Ice Beamed and won the match, surprising both of us.
Man my 6 group is awesome.
