Without further ado: Squad Up!

[Fallen]

Best of luck to you.

Male Charmeleon, Level 2

Male Cubone, Level 1

Male Treecko, Level 1

Male Riolu, Level 1

Male Houndour, Level 1

Viral, Genderless Porygon, Level 1

Viral was programmed to be adaptable in any situation, and as such, can do cool things with his attacks.

Signature Technique: Polydata Isomorphism (X)

Using advanced isomorphism algorithms to alter its own coding, Viral is able to substitute X-typed energy for any if its Psychic attacks, where X is Viral’s type. Any damage done in this way deals X typed damage instead of Psychic typed damage. In addition, Viral cannot use Psychic in its telekinetic form unless Psychic energy is used to fuel it.

[Equal-to-Heaven]

Ah, and to you as well.

Urgh, I hate these intro’s. Two trainers step onto the clay arena. A Starly and Porygon are sent to the field. Huzzah

Viral gets straight to work by producing a psychic attack. The ref takes a short time-out here to note that as long as nothing else is mentioned alongside the psychic attack, Psybeam will be using regular psychic energy rather than normal. After all, you’re sig says that you’re ABLE to replace the energy not that you do it consistwntly ALL the time. While the ref took his time to elaborate on that little piece of ref’s discretion, it would seem that the Porygon has already started firing off a dazzling rainbow-coloured beam. The Starly however is flying in circles rather rapidly. Though not producing any specifically strong winds of the sort, the blur of grey and white play a trick on the eyes as it almost seems like there’s more than one ExDee on the field. No wait. There is more than one. The Starly stops circling and flaps his wings once to stabilize him and his Double Team clones in mid-air. A total of five Starly’s appear on the field. The Psybeam lands onto one of them as it fizzles into nothingness. Thanks to the special redirection property of Psybeam, the Porygon redirects his attack to the Starly next to it as it too fades away. Viral continues on to the Starly in the middle but the attack ends before it can reach it. A total of three Starly remain at this point. Both Pokémon go for their next attack but it’s ExDee who gets the initiative this time as all three Starly’s fold their wings to plummet before quickly spreading their wings and using their gained momentum to zoom low across the ground. Right before nearing the Porygon, who’s charging another multi-coloured beam as we speak, the three Starly disappear to the side and all strike from an unexpected angle. Viral is unable to dodge the Aerial Ace and is still unsure at this point which Starly is the real one. He aims for the one to his left as he fires the beam, striking the Starly in the wing. A squeaking chirp is heard as the Tri-Attack lands and the two other Starly fade in the wind. With ExDee not expecting to be found so early, he is unable to evade the attacks as it lands in full. Luckily, he manages to escape from getting any statuses.

Summary:
Both have taken a small and equal dip in health and energy. Almost negligible at this point. Viral has used up half of his Psychic energy.

[Equal-to-Heaven]

Hey hey! You're not gonna take that are you ExDee? Let's close in with Brave bird, then spit some gnarly Toxic up in his face. If you get smacked with an Ice or Electric move though, forget the poison and U-turn while you're on top of him.

[Fallen]

A quick Normal typed Teleport at the last second to avoid the Brave Bird. Allow him to coat you in toxins, and follow with Thunder.

[Ex-Admiral Insane]

The young Starly spreads her wings and rises up in the air for some much needed altitude. Viral prepares for whatever’s coming though. ExDee turns her wings down causing the wind to push her, in combination with gravity, down to the ground. Just a few inches above the clay floor, the Starly turns her wings once more to level across the field. The added momentum from the fall causes the small Brave Bird the rush across the arena at an incredible speed towards the Porygon. Right before she comes close to it though, the Porygon vanishes into thin air, having Teleported in time to safety. Where to? Well with nothing specific given the ref says that the Porygon teleported to the edge of a cliff where it fell over and died causing the first KO a few feet away from its original position. ExDee has to make a large turn in the air as she zooms up, arcs and turns to face her opponent quite a distance away. Lucky for him though, he didn’t have to suffer any recoil damage. The Starly closes the gap only a little to have the Porygon come in range. Using his little amount of Poison energy he fires a glob of Toxins at the Porygon. Viral takes the attack like any inorganic Pokémon would as the goo merely drips over him unable to poison an inorganic data Pokémon. If Programme Code laugh or cackle it would right now. Charging all the electric energy Viral has, it fires off a massive stream of surging electricity. The distance between the two as well as the large charging time required for the Thunder attack allows the Starly to attempt to fly away from the attack. Nonetheless, an impressive attack like that is almost impossible to completely evade and thus ExDee receives more than just decent damage. Luckily there’s no hint of any paralysis.

Summary:
Both are equal for energy and nearing the end of their first third. ExDee has no Poison energy left and Viral has burnt through most of its Electric, enough for a weakened Discharge. The Thunder has drained Viral somewhat and it could use a break. ExDee is the only one who took damage, having dropped straight towards the threshold of his second third.

Should have psychic, as my Teleport was normal typed. Additionally, Thunder doesn't have a particularly huge charging time.

Ah, I missed that as I mistakenly assumed Normal would be bolded with the attack itself. I'll edit the energies when I feel like it (aka later point in time when I'm well rested).
Thunder=Massive Burst of Electricity=Slightly Large Charging Time Then, Say, Thunderbolt (when I ref at least). Considering the distance from your flying foe, I reffed the attack as a partial hit. Not much of the attack missed anyway though.

[Fallen]

After asking around, I've had a few people confirm that Thunder actually goes off pretty quickly, all things considered. Not to mention that Starly would have had to lob a Toxic across that distance.

Additionally, there are some other discrepancies in type energy for both sides. I believe that as a standard, most normals are given around an Extreme amount of offtype energy, not accounting for having larger pools if they have a significant offtype movepool. Porygon has a pretty large Psychic/Electric movepool, so I'm a bit confused as to how quickly those offtype pools are draining.

[Ex-Admiral Insane]

Fallen, what I meant to say was that it was largely written that way for flavour.

Normals get less type energy than other types. If they've changed that than I would like a link stating it.
Also, I reffed Starly as having no poison energy left to avoid confusion. Toxic is its only Poison-type attack and it definitely doesn't have enough to fuel two of those so I just say Poison's depleted. Stating you have Poison energy left (that you can't use anyway) seems a bit meh-ish.

[Fallen]

As a standard, in 6/9, most 'mon are given around two Ice Beams of off-type energy, depending of course on how deep that off-type movepool is. Normals are generally given less, of course, that being around a Hyper Beam of that off-type. However, Porygon has a very large Electric movepool, and has more Electric energy than most normals would. That being said, a single Thunder shouldn't drain the entirety of Porygon's Electric pool.

[DaveTheFishGuy]

Hi. Normals still get less type energy than other types but type energy in general has been upped - Normals now get around 1 HB whereas others get about two Ice Beams worth. Also Porygon has long been considered to get a bit more Electric energy than standard (about 1.5 HB - 2 Thunders) because they get a whole host of Electric moves that most other non-Electrics don't (Discharge comes to mind).

Sorry to butt in!

[Ex-Admiral Insane]

Oh yeah I totally remember reading that in the Announcement page and on the site.

*Sigh* Grumble, grumble, grumble.

EDITS have been made to Electric Soldier Porygon's energy. Fallen loses 5 favour points with the referee for being right.

[Equal-to-Heaven]

So, it's still Fallen's turn to order correct?

[Ex-Admiral Insane]

I thought so. Still waiting

[Ex-Admiral Insane]

So what's the plan?

[Equal-to-Heaven]

Honestly I'm not all too sure. I remember reading in the TO somewhere that Fallen had gotten into a car crash or some such? If I recall correctly?

[Ex-Admiral Insane]

Oh right, I forgot about that. Never mind then.

[Equal-to-Heaven]

Hopefully they'll be back soon~

[Equal-to-Heaven]

Requested this to be cancelled, sorry Fallen.

[Ex-Admiral Insane]

This match is offcially cancelled

EAI gets 0.5 SP for reffing this match ( I believe)
