MuddyMudkip Vs. Ataro

Muddy: Glaceon, Typhlosion, Victreebel
Ataro: Bouffalant, Girafarig, Tauros

This battle happened before Tauros moved up, so the mons are legit. My dice were a little unkind to Muddy this time around, which means they're either revolting or evening out for the hax against Ash. I like to look at it like she's got some good hax stored up against him now. Glaceon almost took down Tauros, but Icy Wind + Ice Beam just wasn't enough, considering Tauros didn't miss Fire Blast. Then Typhlosion came in, and Bouffalant swapped in on the Eruption. A 150 BP special STAB move from Typhlosion can't 2HKO Bouffalant, and that's kind of stupid. Bouffalant's a bit OP. Her Will-o-Wisp missed too, which really cost her. Head Charge almost KO'd. That forced Typhlosion to rest, and then I rolled a Smokescreen from Sleep Talk, and that fails under Accuracy Clause. Girafarig did a bit of Sub Life Orb stalling to get Victreebel in near-KO range, and Life Orb recoil finished the job off. It would've been a lot closer had my dice decided not to be jerks. They must be protesting being used so soon after I wake.

GliscorMan Vs. Zoned

GM: Houndoom, Zebstrika, Raticate
Zoned: Sharpedo, Drapion, Donphan

Sharpedo started this battle off verses Zebstrika, which was not a good matchup. Instead of saying in and Earthquakeing, Zoned opted to switch out to Donphan. Zeb's Toxic missed, because my dice remembered the time I missed a critical Toxic and decided to relive their vengeance through GM, since they're funny like that. Donphan proceeded to KO with Earthquake. Then, Raticate came in. It tried to Super Fang, but it couldn't KO Donphan after that. Earthquake 2HKO'd. Houndoom came in then, and GM opted to use Fire Blast when something like Flamethrower would've KO'd. Luckily for him, it didn't miss, although I was sort of expecting it to. Donphan finally went down. Through some Aqua Jets from Sharpedo and a Flame Charge-Reversal combo from Houndoom, Sharpedo also went down. However, Houndoom was barely alive, and it couldn't do much to Drapion. He tried flinch haxing with Dark Pulse enough so that Fire Blast would KO. My dice were forgiving and gave him the first flinch, and then they showed their true teasing colors and let Drapion KO with Cross Poison on the next. Good Game!

GliscorMan Vs. Ash K.

GM: Relicanth, Banette, Beartic
Ash: Mienshao, Pikachu, Masquerain

This was a fun battle to ref for once. Pikachu started off against Banette, trying to use Teeter Dance to get ahead. That didn't work, however, and Banette got up a Trick Room. Then, they both pulled doubles, out to Beartic and Masquerain, who intimidated the former. Beartic missed the first Blizzard, but it wasn't really critical because Masquerain had a Sash just in case. Beartic did set up Hail, though, which broke the hidden sash, and he finished Masquerain off with a Blizzard the turn after that since Masquerain's Hidden Power didn't quite do enough. Mienshao came in and took a Flail hit as it set up a Calm Mind and passed it out to Pikachu. Then, Pikachu went for Fake Out, which GM forgot about until Besty said something (which is why there is no coaching, people!). He swapped out to Banette to take it. Then, he surprised Ash with a Sash as well, letting him set up Trick Room once again. A well-timed Destiny Bond dragged Pikachu down into the depths in the following turn, leaving just Mienshao against a Beartic on 14 HP and a Relicanth. Reli came in and tried to attack, but between Fake Out and Detect, Ash stalled out all but one turn of Trick Room. Then, Reli used Yawn as it was KO'd, making Mienshao fall asleep. Now GM was in a predicament. They each had one mon left, only Beartic had a Life Orb, so he had to knock out Mienshao in one hit to win or he would just KO himself. He used Swords Dance on the first turn of sleep, but that was all she wrote. Mienshao woke up on the next turn to KO. Battlers beware, the dice are on the move.

MuddyMudkip Vs. Zoned

Muddy: Typhlosion, Victreebel, Glaceon
Zoned: Sharpedo, Drapion, Donphan

Sharpedo and Victreebel were sent out first. Sharpedo Roared, so allowing the plant to go first made it an OHKO first turn. Then, Drapion came in. He Ice Fanged while Victreebel tried to use Sleep Powder. The first one missed, because my dice haven't had a lot of chances to hax today, but the second one hit. This allowed Muddy to switch Typhlosion in safely. Two Eruptions cleaned Drapion up. Then, Typhlosion took a huge chunk out of Donphan with the same move. Earthquake + Ice Shard didn't KO, so Typhlosion cleaned up, giving Muddy the win.

MuddyMudkip Vs. Zoned

Muddy: Typhlosion, Victreebel, Glaceon
Zoned: Sharpedo, Drapion, Shiftry

They did their number two right after the first one. Muddy used the same team, and Zoned only swapped out one mon. It started out rough for Muddy, with Typhlosion Vs. Sharpedo. Typhlosion set up the sun as Sharpedo Waterfalled, but after that, Hidden Power didn't quite KO, but neither did Earthquake. Typhlosion swaped out for Victreebel on the predicted Aqua Jet and to take advantage of the remaining sun. Victreebel knocked out Sharpedo after suffering an Ice Fang. Then, things took a turn for the worse as Drapion came in. I swear I could hear the spirit of my dice cackling gleefully and rubbing their hands together in anticipation. Muddy's Sleep Powder missed, just like last time. Only she didn't get another chance to use it before Drapion KO'd. Glaceon game in and knocked Drapion's speed down with an Icy Wind, but then my dice said, "Nu uh, it's not gonna be that easy," and burned Glaceon with the Fire Fang. Glaceon still managed to KO Drapion. Then, Zoned forgot Glaceon was slower than Shiftry and used Synthesis instead of killing Glaceon off, letting her get off a heafty chunk. Burn finished Glaceon, but Typhlosion came in for the easy KO. Dice, you better behave now, you hear me!?

Hot damn this was a good battle. At first it looked like a losing battle for Proto, shit was getting poisoned left and right. Metang was dancin' around the fools, settin' up Reflects and Light Screens and straight up clownin'. But Vaporeon was like, "YOU CAME TO THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD SON" and out stalled Metang with Rest and Sleep Talk while settin' up some Growths. All those attack boosts let it clean up the rest.

Ataro: Girafarig, Lickilicky, Swellow
Smores: Armaldo, Parasect, Pinsir

There was a lot of switching and leftovers. There weren't many opportunities for my dice to hax anyone either, which was unfortunate. They were really looking forward to that. Nothing really worth noting, otherwise I'd to a longer log. It would just be: sub, move, switch, sub, move switch, leftovers x100, etc.

Zoned Vs. BlueTowel

Zoned: Chatot, Mandibuzz, Donphan
Blue: Torterra, Toxicroak, Golem

They did the second battle right after the first. Blue stuck with the same team while Zoned mixed it up. It was a bad start for Zoned at first, with Chatot Vs. Golem. Donphan immediately switched in to take the Rock Blast. Then, Torterra came in to cover for Golem. Torterra was starting to stat up a bit, so Zoned swapped out to Mandibuzz on a Leech Seed, which ended up hurting him quite a bit. Torterra set up a little bit more, but Mandi phazed him out into Toxicroak. Here, Leech Seed combined with Fake Out did some more damage. Then, as Toxicroak set up a Swords Dance, Mandi's Air Slash missed, since my dice hadn't haxed anyone in a while. Poison Jab easily finished off Mandibuzz. Then, as Chatot came in to face the oncoming sweep led by Toxicroak, it scored a confusion on Chatter. Toxicroak smacked twice, because my dice hadn't had enough fun yet. Chatot finished Toxicroak off. Then, Golem came in, and was scared out by Donphan once again. This time, there was no phazer to stop Torterra from setting up. When Zoned swapped back to Chatot, my dice apologized for the two confusion smacks and let Stone Edge hit to OHKO. Then, Wood Hammer finished Donphan. Ash was correct in saying that my dice equally hate everyone. It all depends on their mood.
