[GRASS] Leader Elevator Music vs Challenger TMan87


"Welcome, everyone, to the Grass Gym! Today, a great battle will start to unfold. TMan87, a relatively new trainer, decided to throw his first gym challenge in the direction of one of the best players in the game, Elevator Music! Deciding that he has studied the matchup enough, he's looking to take his first badge home. Will he be able to do it?"​

The ASB TournamentGrass-type Gym Arena

Surrounded by thousands of screaming Pokemon fansGrass-type Pokemon, the ASBGrass-type Gym Arena can be best described as a standard Pokemon battling arena. In the center of the arena lies a dirt-based floor outlined to show two separate sides (with a white Pokeball center). Surrounding the dirt is a moat filled with water. The moat is about fifteen feet wide and creates a perimeter around the dirt arena. The arena itself is eighty feet wide, one hundred feet long. All moves, weathers, and abilities are legal for the match, since it's an outdoor arena with a large water source and packed dirt. Pokemon must stay in the arena (or the dimensions of the arena in the case of Flying Pokemon, who cannot leave the arena and cannot fly higher than sixty feet). This prevents Pokemon from injuring the crowd watching the tournament. There are ALMOST no outside interruptions by fans, Pokemon, or other elements not associated with the current battle. However, the spectators are impatient and want to see a match. If a trainer hesitates excessively during the battle (read: goes over DQ), they will swarm and attack.

Summary:
- Standard rules
- If you go over DQ the spectators will brutally murder you. LOAs will be judged on a case-by-case basis, but don't push it.

Not much to see here. Elevator Music has already expressed his intentions to bring the same team all the time. And, mind you, it is a deceptively strong team that has managed to leave quite a dent in all the challengers, even those that tried to completely counter team it.

Misha certainly is the team's funball. Despite being a Psychic-type, she doesn't usually make much use of her brain and prefers to go with the flow, sprinkling her appearances with her trademark "Wahaha~!", though I suspect her of exaggerating some of her reactions by pure theatrical instinct (who would attempt to pout after receiving only one round of damage?). However, she does have a bit of a competitive streak and will quickly revert to a calmer state should a dangerous opponent arise.
Evolving didn't make her more calm, instead exarcebating her competitive nature. Needless to say, this trait mixed with her happy and joyous nature produce a very strange result, as she will cheerily try to crush any opponent that crosses her line of sight.
When she finally became a Reuniclus, Misha's love became all-encompassing and her caring side represents most of her personality. She's as much of a showoff as before though, and is still incredibly keen on having fun. Misha has a soft spot for Granny Pie's Weavile, though even I don't really know why...

Reuniclus [Female] [Misha]

Kazuma is rather clashing with the rest of the team. Often yelled at by Kamina for slacking off (though he doesn't know Slack Off), he finds solace in Misha's carefree nature and tries his best to avoid trouble. Even though his attacking prowess isn't the best around, when the situation calls for it Kazuma can deploy an impressive variety of tricks to make the opponent trip up. He's an opportunist to the core.
You thought he'd change upon evolving? Nope! While he now has decent attacking power, Kazuma still likes to rely on his arsenal of tricks to throw the opponent off. Being stronger has its perks though, as now he's a somewhat respected member of the team. Still trash though.

Mawiles are often depicted as deceiving and vicious. Apparently Selphine isn't a Mawile then, because she's as sweet as the food she craves. She's very close to Misha because of their similar personalities, and it's not rare to see them together, happily chatting about pretty much everything. Weirdly enough, Selphine told me once she held great power even among other Mawiles, therefore she was treated with utter respect. It was hard to believe until one of her (fortunately) extremely rare bursts of anger, where she mercilessly and completely annihilated her foe and almost went for the Trainer, though I came in time to stop the disaster. Just... don't make her angry, okay? Out of everyone, she is the one you don't want to anger. The best way to gain her affection is to actually feed her.

In this form, she drops a good chunk of her carelessness and becomes a fierce fighter, capable of crushing entire teams all by herself. The main drawback is that she's angered more easily, as she will not accept any insult to her (kinda newborn) pride.

TMan87, on the other hand, uses way too big pictures for his mons brings a team different than what we have seen before. Mawile is an interesting choice for a mega, and I'm particularly excited to see Alolan Muk in action since it is one of the few Gen VII Pokémon that I have liked (not that I know what most of them even are). Reuniclus has shown before to be a very powerful bulky attacker, so it should leave quite a dent if it doesn't get stuck in a bad matchup. Seems like it will be an interesting battle.

"And off they go! With not a doubt in his mind, Tman sends out Kazuma, his Muk-A, while the leader responds with his mighty Venusaur, Fushigibana. Not wasting any time seriously those were a pair of quick orders, the leader's Venusaur taps into the power of its Mega Stone, Mega Evolving! With its new power, it proceeds to attack the challenger's muk, first taking its item away from him, and then producing powerful Earthquakes that seem to hit a weak spot. Kazuma fights back, and actually does better than I expected against the mega Pokémon. Just as a smug smile appeared in Venusaur's face, he felt something: a swarm of bugs were stopping him from moving! Kazuma-A, taking this opportuniy, prepares to switch places with one of his teammates."

"What is this, a gym flash? In which case it would be faster than the "flash" between espy and birkal.
Here we see the Challenger setting up in order to have a better matchup against Ferrothorn. However, thanks to a flinch he ends up dealing almost no damage to the Ferrothorn, while also making it slightly more bulky (but when you only have good abilities to skill swap, what can you do).
All in all, the leader seems to be in a better spot, what with having the HP and turn order advantage. However, it is still anyone's game.

And, I would also note that both Pokémon here are using a Z-Crystal. So much for not seeing them in serious matches.

Also can you explain the Ooraloo comment I don't understand the joke."

"This super quick reffing is brought to you as a way to thank TMan87 for clearing the PCT queue. Finally bringing in his powerhouse, TMan delightfully orders Selphine to focus her power and strike Nattorei with all her might. While she gets hit by a Worry Seed which lowers her damage output, she stills hits relatively hard. EM, on the other hand, realizes that with the Mawile's high physical defense and Reflect up, she would not be able to deal much direct damage, so he instead sets up entry hazards which should end up being better after a single switch. However, an unfortune burn will leave Nattorei weakened for later.

TMan recovered some ground this round, but Selphine is currently not at her top shape and EM will probably decide to send someone else to deal with her. How will he react?"​

"And the matchup changes! Elevator Music decides this is the perfect opportunity to bring out his Necturna, and I couldn't agree more. Deciding he must go for a matchup advantage, TMan switches to his Muk, who starts attacking after getting hurt significantly due to the entry hazards set last round. EM, however, plays it smart, by giving Kazuma a weakness while waiting for Reflect to expire, and then hitting it with powerful, life draining moves. Both teams got a little hax, but TMan's came too little too late.

Now, EM gets to order first vs a pretty much dead Kazuma, and if he manages to take it down he'll have turn order advantage while scoring the first blood. Will the Muk be able to pull any last tricks with Trick Room gone?"​
