View Full Version : Small Mafia Game [Council of Villains] Mewtwo's Retribution [Concluded]
You should be. Look at his main Pokeman. (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/081/8/7/go_CUTE_pikachu_by_Niloloco.jpg)
Something just piqued my interest when I looked back over the writeup.
Basically, we see Red's Espeon defeat Giovanni's Kangaskhan by using Focus Blast, an immensely powerful Fighting-type move; the problem is that Espeon is completely incapable of learning this move.
Chalk this up to host error/artistic liberty. I had an Espeon and an Ampharos in my HG team, and the Ampharos had Focus Blast, but I somehow attributed it to Espeon instead while writing that. :laugh4:
Basically I intended to show that the battle between Espeon and Kangaskhan was no contest.
There's an error in a previous write-up as well: Magcargo used Stealth Rock, which it is incapable of learning.
In other news, I will be able to have the write-up done next morning, most likely.

I always taught my pokemon moves that were there type because I was a sucker for STAB.
Now my Krookodile knows Crunch and my Samurott knows Blizzard.
Basically I intended to show that the battle between Espeon and Kangaskhan was no contest.
No contest? Really?
I love Espeon, but I have to concede that Kanga would wipe the floor with it; as soon as Espy moves to attack, Kanga uses Sucker Punch, Espy faints.
There's an error in a previous write-up as well: Magcargo used Stealth Rock, which it is incapable of learning.
I let that one slide because Magcargo sucks, it needs all the help it can get! :P
However, I have to admit I was surprised that it managed to use SR before Empoleon was able to hit it... in reality, that fight would have ended similarly to Mamoswine-Garchomp.

In Ruby Version, I had a purple Magcargo.
Anyway, maybe it had a Quick Claw.
Night 3
That night, the trainers took the announcer’s advice into account one way or another. They had all known beforehand that it was trained Pokemon, not wild ones as the announcer claimed, who were attacking the trainers at night. Some believed it to be an honest mistake, and felt it safe to stay in the rooms as suggested. Others, however, became suspicious of the announcer, whom they had never seen, and went back into the depths of the cave to seek safety.
Maxie had found himself a dark, cavernous room (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOJKk37uOlk) to stay in for the night.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Maxie.png
Though Maxie could not see very well, his Crobat was well adapted to such situations, and would have an advantage over any adversary who tried to attack him here. As soon as Maxie heard footsteps, leapt to his feet and sent out his Crobat.
“Go, Magnezone!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/462Magnezone-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/169Crobat-1.png
Maxie winced when he heard the name of the adversary he was facing. Crobat’s advantage had suddenly vanished into thin air. Magnezone was resistant to all of Crobat’s attacks, and on top of that was unfazed by darkness since it “saw” through electrical impulses.
“Crobat! Use Air Slash!”
Crobat glided in a wide arc with its four wings, and whipped up an air current that slashed at Magnezone. The steel Pokemon, however, was barely scratched by the attack, and simply kept floating forwards.
“Now use Cross Poison!”
Crobat shot like a dart at Magnezone, covering itself in venom. However, when it struck Magnezone, Crobat simply bounced off of it harmlessly, and the poison that got on Magnezone dripped off onto the floor without sinking in. Crobat was stunned by the impact.
“Magnezone, use Thunderbolt!”
Magnezone flooded Crobat with electricity. The bat-like creature screeched terribly as it was electrocuted and paralyzed by the attack. It fell to the floor and tried to flop about unsuccessfully.
“Finish it with Magnet Bomb!”
A magnetic blast repulsed Crobat and sent it flying into a stalagmite column, where it crashed and fell to the floor, unmoving. Maxie cursed under his breath, but dared not recall it for fear of giving away his position. The Magnezone slowly swept around the room, but did not find him.
After Maxie heard the annoyed trainer and Magnezone leave, he returned his Crobat and left as well, silently and carefully.
-------------------------------------
Gold was sleeping in one of the rooms provided near the arena (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_j1CjfLUb0).
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Gold.png
His Scizor was diligently keeping watch outside his door, and continued to do so until a blast of air from huge wings knocked over both door and Scizor. In the doorway stood a familiar, draconic figure.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/006Charizard-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/212Scizor-1.png
Gold woke up with a start as his Scizor leapt to its feet, then nearly panicked when he saw the massive Charizard in his doorway. He loudly shouted to his Scizor.
“Use Iron Head!”
Scizor charged full-force into Charizard, head first. It impacted Charizard in the gut, and the dragon-like creature stumbled back into the hallway wall. The Charizard merely grunted as if amused, and with a flap of its wings knocked back the Scizor.
“Fire Blast!”
Charizard began amassing an enormous fireball in its mouth. Desperate to protect its trainer, Scizor leapt in front of the doorway and blocked it. Charizard released the Fire Blast.
“No! Scizor!”
Scizor dropped to its knees and then fell face-first into the floor, charred black. The Charizard let out a deep, throaty roar that sounded conspicuously like a laugh, and then began to move forward into the room, threatening Gold. Gold, fearing for his life, shouted for help.
At this point, many of the other trainers had been stirred awake and began to open their doors. Just before the Charizard could attack, the trainer recalled the Pokemon and fled. Merely seconds later, the trainers arrived to find Gold and Scizor, completely alone.
-------------------------------------------
Ruby was on an island in the middle of a section of the cave with a small lake in the center.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Ruby.png
He rested cautiously, but did not sleep. He was ready when he heard footsteps and shouting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpnl3PRSBbo).
“Go, Roserade! Use Razor Leaf!”
The Roserade appeared on the other side of the lake and shot a bunch of spinning, razor-sharp leaves at Ruby, who threw himself to the ground to dodge them.
“Use Surf!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/407Roserade-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/073Tentacruel.png
Ruby’s Tentacruel burst up out of the lake, riding a wall of water that crashed down on Roserade, sending it sprawling to the ground. Roserade quickly got up at its trainer’s command.
“Giga Drain, now!”
Roserade jabbed its flowery arms at the beached Tentacruel and began draining energy from it. The only thing that Roserade could return to its own body, however, was Tentacruel’s poisonous, gelatinous ooze. It recoiled from the shock of its own Giga Drain hurting itself.
“Hit it with Ice Beam!”
Tentacruel shot a blast of supercooled air straight at Roserade, freezing it solid. Then it leapt back into the water. Ruby cheered from his island as the hidden trainer snarled with anger.
“Good job, Tentacruel!”
“I’ll show you cold! Go, Walrein!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/365Walrein-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/073Tentacruel.png
The Pokeball landed in the water and Walrein was released under it. The two aquatic Pokemon wrestled under the water, their trainers unable to see much of the battle going on.
“Use Ice Fang!”
Tentacruel and Walrein rose to the surface. Walrein was clamped onto Tentacruel with its powerful tusks, emanating a freezing aura from its mouth. Tentacruel flailed around and managed to dislodge it, rolling Walrein over onto the ground.
“Freeze the water, Walrein!”
Walrein shot an Ice Beam at the surface of the water, and Tentacruel ducked under it. The ice spread over the surface, leaving Tentacruel trapped underwater, underneath a thick sheet of ice.
“Now just go for the trainer!”
Walrein began sliding over the ice toward Ruby’s island, tusks outstretched and ready to gore him.
“Poison Jab!”
Tentacles shot up through the ice and struck Walrein from underneath. Walrein was knocked on its side and its charge was broken. As it floundered in getting up, it began to feel woozy from the poison.
“Now Constrict it!”
Several of Tentacruel’s tentacles now wrapped themselves tightly around Walrein, both further stinging it and preventing it from moving. After a few seconds, Walrein passed out, and Tentacruel let go of it before bursting up through the ice and shattering it into small, platform-sized chunks. The mysterious trainer cursed and returned the Pokemon.
“Go, Espeon!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/196Espeon-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/073Tentacruel.png
Espeon landed at the edge of the lake. Ruby looked worried now. Espeon’s Psychic abilities would have a distinct advantage over Tentacruel’s natural poison.
“Use Psybeam!”
Tentacruel was struck in the face with a blast of Psychic energy, and spun around in confusion.
“Traverse the ice with Agility.”
Using incredible speed, Espeon began leaping from one icy platform to the next, seemingly unfazed by their slipperiness. Tentacruel, struggling with confusion, was unable to halt its advance.
“Snap out of it, Tentacruel! Use Ice Beam!”
Though Tentacruel did as told, Espeon leapt over the blast with ease and landed right in front of Tentacruel.
“Shadow Ball!”
From the jewel at its forehead, Espeon built up a ball of dark energy and launched it at Tentacruel, who was struck in the face and knocked backwards. The jellyfish Pokemon looked very weak and about to collapse.
“Psybeam!”
“Duck!”
As Espeon launched another Psybeam, Tentacruel mustered enough strength to quickly sink itself under the water and dodge the attack.
“Use Poison Jab, Tentacruel!”
Espeon, able to see short distances into the future, leapt to another ice platform and dodged the first tentacle. However, it started to slide, and was unable to move away from the second tentacle, which knocked it into the lake. Espeon was unable to move effectively in the chilled water.
“Now use Surf!”
Tentacruel created a huge wave again, and it carried Espeon all the way back to the lake shore before sending it crashing hard into the rocky ground. Espeon was too weak to get back to its feet. The trainer returned the Pokemon to its ball and disappeared without another word.
“Great job, Tentacruel!”
Ruby cheered and returned the Pokemon to its ball so it could rest. Then Ruby did the same.
--------------------------------
The next morning all of the trainers returned once again to the arena.
“Welcome, trainers! It appears that both Gold and Maxie have lost all of their Pokemon. Unfortunately, both of you will be unable to continue battling in this tournament. I must warn you all again of the dangers of the wild Pokemon in this cave. The tournament, however, must go on. Let today’s voting begin!”

Day 4
As soon as the votes were tallied, the announcer began to speak and get the duel started.
“Greetings, trainers! You have selected today’s competitors to be: Red, the undefeated Champion of Kanto, and Diamond, a powerful Pokemon master from the Sinnoh region. Will Red, down one Pokemon, continue to dominate the competition? Or will newcomer Diamond manage to bring him down a peg? We’re about to find out! Red should proceed to the red corner, naturally, and Diamond to the blue corner.”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Red-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Diamond.png
The two trainers proceeded to their places. Red was silent and calm, as usual, while Diamond was jittery, and trying to psych himself up for the battle. Once Diamond appeared to be ready, he became impatient and hardly able to stand still (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCIqh48mFdE).
“Hey! Hey Red!”
“…”
“Hey, Red, are you ready yet?”
“…”
“Come on, let’s go, I can’t wait all day! I’ve got a battle to win! I’ve gotta show you my new tactic!”
“…”
This went on for about 30 seconds before the announcer cut in.
“Let the battle begin!”
“…”
“Go, Heracross!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/196Espeon-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/214Heracross.png
Red had sent out Espeon once again, while Diamond chose Heracross. Since Heracross needed to get in close for combat, Espeon’s Psychic abilities would be able to damage it before it could get a hit in. Then again, if Heracross’s attacks did manage to connect, they would be devastating to Espeon.
“Go Heracross! Megahorn!”
Heracross lowered its horn, and began charging straight towards Espeon. Espeon, who looked somehow menacing, merely sat still, awaiting the attack. Even when Heracross’s horn was a mere six inches away from it, Espeon didn’t move. And it didn’t flinch when Heracross crashed straight into its invisible Reflect barrier and was thrown backwards.
“Do it again!”
Heracross rammed into the Reflect barrier again, this time shattering it, but by the time it got through Espeon had effortlessly leaped out of the way. Stealing a quick glance at Red, it turned to Heracross and its eyes began glowing.
“Heracross, run away!”
It was far too late for Heracross to run. Espeon used Psychic power to lift it into the air, where it flailed and struggled without any success. Heracross was then lifted up until it crashed into the ceiling, then smashed back down into the ground. After assessing Heracross’s condition, Espeon dropped the bug Pokemon, and it was already unconscious before it hit the floor.
“Heracross is unable to battle! Espeon is the winner!”
“No need to worry! I’ve got a strategy that I specifically developed just to counter that!”
Diamond took only a few seconds to develop something vaguely resembling a strategy and sent out his next Pokemon.
“Go, Torterra!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/196Espeon-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/389Torterra.png
Before Torterra could do anything, Espeon began glowing with Psychic power again, and lifted the giant turtle Pokemon into the air. It attempted to fling it around like a rag doll, as it had done with Heracross, but Torterra was much heavier, and Espeon could not do much besides slam it back into the ground. Torterra looked shaken up, but the hardy Pokemon could withstand far more punishment than that.
“Ha! See, I got you there! Torterra, use Leaf Storm!”
From the forest on its back, Torterra launched series of razor-sharp leaves, which quickly turned into a full-blown storm of them. Espeon held up its Reflect barrier, and the leaves were quickly chipping away at it.
“I expected you to do that, too! Now use Earthquake!”
By stomping the ground with its huge feet, Torterra made the ground shake violently, throwing Espeon off-balance and causing its barrier to fade. It was struck with the last few leaves from the storm and knocked over.
Red’s face was hidden by the brim of his hat for the moment. Clearly the Espeon was trained to win, and to win quickly, but never expected to hold out once the tables were turned.
“Go charge it, Torterra!”
Torterra began a slow march towards Espeon, moving as fast as it could (which incidentally, was not very fast at all). Espeon got back to its feet and ran away from it, but Torterra was so large in comparison that despite its slowness, once it got moving it was able to corner Espeon easily.
“That’s it!”
Espeon desperately fired a Focus Blast at Torterra. The huge creature was struck in the face and knocked back a few feet. It looked as if in pain, but it wasn’t ready to stop just yet.
“Now, Torterra! Use Wood Hammer!”
Swinging its front leg like a club, Torterra smashed it into Espeon, who was knocked a few yards into the air by the blow. When Espeon landed, it struggled to get back up, but failed, falling back to the ground.
“Espeon is unable to battle! Torterra is the winner!”
Silently, Red returned his Espeon and held his last Pokeball. Without a moment wasted, he tossed the ball onto the field.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/143Snorlax-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/389Torterra.png
Out of the ball came a massive creature, rivaling Torterra in size. Red’s Snorlax shouted a lazy roar, as if it had just woken up. Then it struck a fighting pose that managed to look ridiculous and terrifying at the same time.
“We’ll get this one, too! Wood Hammer, Torterra!”
As Torterra started moving forward, Red gave Snorlax a devious wink, and the Snorlax nodded. Snorlax wound itself back and balled up its fist, around which a freezing aura formed. Then Snorlax delivered the Ice Punch right to Torterra’s face, putting its full weight behind the attack.
“No! Torterra!”
Even weighty Torterra was knocked several feet off the ground and launched backwards, landing in a devastating slide on its side. Torterra was unable to get up and fell unconscious.
“Torterra is unable to battle! Snorlax is the winner!”
Diamond still didn’t look worried one bit, without hesitating, he threw his last Pokeball, and out of it came…
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/143Snorlax-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/143Snorlax.png
Another Snorlax! However, Diamond’s Snorlax was not quite as large, and looked less threatening and more goofy than Red’s Snorlax. Diamond realized this quickly, and while a brief flash of uncertainty crossed his face, he was as ready as ever.
“Snorlax, use Rollout!”
Diamond’s Snorlax rolled up into a massive ball and spun quickly towards Red’s Snorlax. As soon as it approached, however, Red’s Snorlax grabbed the spinning ball and tossed it backwards in a Counter-attack. Diamond’s Snorlax landed hard on its back, but got back up.
“Come on, Snorlax! Mega Punch, now!”
Diamond’s Snorlax once again started moving towards Red’s Snorlax, attempting to attack it. Red’s Snorlax merely yawned at Diamond’s, but the Yawn proved contagious, and before the smaller Snorlax could reach the larger one, it tipped over and fell asleep.
Diamond’s Snorlax now began to Snore loudly, which served only to irritate the trainers watching. But the most irritated of all was Red’s Snorlax, who became downright enraged at the horrible noise.
Red’s Snorlax gathered up all of its strength, then lurched towards the sleeping Snorlax with all of its body weight. Red’s Snorlax’s Giga Impact smashed Diamond’s Snorlax with a crushing blow, both waking it up and knocking it back out at the same time.
“Diamond’s Snorlax is unable to battle! Red’s Snorlax is the winner!”
Red calmly returned his Snorlax and left the arena, while Diamond was left to his own disappointment. After only a minute or so, though, he was back to his usual self, determined to train harder and win next time.
“And Red does it again, pulling off a stunning victory for the second time in a row! Diamond, unfortunately, has been eliminated from the competition. Now, trainers, the tournament will begin anew tomorrow, so do remember to be safe tonight. We wouldn’t want any mishaps preventing more of you from competing.”
The trainers made their way out of the arena and to the place they would be staying for the night.

Wait, what?

Are you just playing around, or did I accidentally guess something correctly about you based off of something really stupid, like your name being Death is yonder and Lavender town being the place where pokemon go to die?
Because if so, that's hilarious.
I was serious :O
Well if it was accidental then I do not see a need to elaborate, other than the fact that I perceived what ATPG to have said to have curiously only been possibly said by my attacker on one of the previous nights.
Care to elaborate on why you think I am scummy Seon?
Anyway, the write up was most interesting, and I'm wondering especially about the bit where Saregona's snorlax was bigger than the opponent's one. Maybe its fluff for justification of a random roll, or maybe its an extension of what was brought up about like the pokemon (EG: Charizard) being stronger than it should be.

Saregona's pokemon all seem to be rather overpowered. Could be an indication of mafia, and "Red" is just a disguise.
Definitely a special role. Something is very askew.

I have this theory where Mafia have 6 pokemon. They choose three for tourney battles during the day and the other three to attack trainers during the night.
That would explain why Seon wasn't eliminated (Mafia) and why there is a Charizard running loose during the night while we didn't see Red using it during the day (Saregona/Red's = Mafia).
Obviously, that would also mean that once Saregona's Charizard is defeated, we'll still have to deal with Blastoises and Balbasaurs last transformation.
Was Seon stated as having specifically one extra Pokeman, or just "more".

One only:
Ruby pumped his fist in the air and cheered. Pearl looked disheartened, but not completely crushed. She waited until the announcer was done speaking and Ruby had left the field, and then made her own announcement. A giddy, adorable smile cracked across her face.
“Well, actually… I did bring one more Pokemon with me, just in case. I thought it might be useful with all these attacks going on at night and everything! So, it’s really only for my own protection, but I guess if you wanted to battle me again… that would be ok with me!”
The rest of the trainers were dumbfounded as she giggled and quickly left the arena.
This means that that part of Jolt's theory needs revising.
Or one more pokemon. But hasn't there been night-attackers which attacked with more than one pokemon? (Am busy making an essay, can't be bothered to go search)
Anyway, the write up was most interesting, and I'm wondering especially about the bit where Saregona's snorlax was bigger than the opponent's one.
I believe that his Snorlax is larger because he's had it for several years and it's incredibly strong, whereas Diamond/Barry's Snorlax evolved from Munchlax and he hasn't been a trainer as long; however, there's potential merit to the powered-up theory.
Saregona's pokemon all seem to be rather overpowered. Could be an indication of mafia, and "Red" is just a disguise.
Definitely a special role. Something is very askew.
It's Red, though; to date, his Pikachu is the highest-levelled trainer-owned Pokémon (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Red_%28game%29#HeartGold_and_SoulSilver) in the series at Lvl.88, his lineup was obviously going to be strong.
I think we're on the money with Saregona being mafia, but the question is, how many townies are we going to have to throw at him before he's defeated? Seems like an utterly bizarre method of lynching.
I have this theory where Mafia have 6 pokemon. They choose three for tourney battles during the day and the other three to attack trainers during the night.
That would explain why Seon wasn't eliminated (Mafia).
The writeups stated that Seon has a single Pokémon set aside, not three.
Round over, still working on the write-up.
Apologies, I really should at least have the night write-ups done in advance.
Night 4
That night, the trainers went their separate ways once again. Many chose to stay in the rooms near the arena this time, for although they were not the best place for a defensive battle, Gold’s survival proved there was safety in numbers. There were still a few who moved deep into the cave to set up fortifications, however.
One such trainer was Ruby.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Ruby.png
He was once again on the small island in the large cavern with the lake. His Tentacruel, having rested from its tough victory the night before, was ready for battle again, and floated through the waters of the lake, anticipating any unwanted visitors (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1hBm4LRZRw). They did not have to wait long for a mysterious trainer to show up.
“Go, Magnezone!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/462Magnezone-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/073Tentacruel.png
The Magnezone hovered magnetically over the surface of the lake, while Tentacruel was hidden underneath the water. It would be difficult for Tentacruel to win this fight- Magnezone’s electric attacks would be super-effective, and it would resist any poisonous attacks from Tentacruel.
“Thunderbolt, now!”
Magnezone discharged a bolt of electricity into the lake. The electric current, once entering the water, quickly found its mark. Tentacruel was electrocuted underwater, and rose to the surface to combat its opponent directly.
“Poison Jab attack!”
Tentacruel battered Magnezone with its stinging tentacles, but they merely bounced off of it harmlessly. Magnezone hovered closer to Tentacruel and began charging up for another attack.
“Now, Tentacruel! Submerge it with Surf!”
“Magnet Rise!”
Tentacruel rose up on a huge wall of water, then brought it crashing down over Magnezone. The steel Pokemon managed to remain above the surface magnetically, but it was clearly damaged, and crackling with static electricity.
“Use Magnet Bomb!”
Magnezone shot blasts of magnetic energy at Tentacruel, but the jellyfish Pokemon quickly dodged underneath the surface.
“Constrict it, now!”
Tentacruel’s tentacles shot up out of the water and wrapped themselves around Magnezone. The static electricity crackling on Magnezone’s body quickly shot down the tentacles and hit Tentacruel directly, but it held on tight. Using all of its strength, Tentacruel pulled Magnezone under water and threw it towards the bottom, just barely able to withstand the electric current jolting it.
“No! Magnezone!”
Magnezone was unable to function properly underwater, but it soon rose back to the surface. When it did, however, it was sparking and no longer conscious. The mysterious trainer returned it, but quickly sent out another Pokemon to take its place.
“Go! Aerodactyl!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/142Aerodactyl-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/073Tentacruel.png
Aerodactyl screeched and began soaring menacingly around the room. It was a wonder it was able to fly at all, given its heavy, rocky body, but it managed quite effortlessly.
“Hit it with Ancient Power!”
Aerodactyl roared again, and several rocks from the cave ceiling began glowing, dislodged themselves, and hurled themselves at Tentacruel. Tentacruel was hit by the first of them, but managed to dodge underwater and avoid the rest.
“Stone Edge!”
As soon as Tentacruel resurfaced, Aerodactyl swooped low, then spun in a somersault, slashing at Tentacruel with its rock-hard, pointy tail. The blow connected, and Tentacruel looked badly hurt, but it was not ready to quit yet.
“Hang in there, Tentacruel! Use Ice Beam!”
Tentacruel shot a beam of supercooled air and water vapor at Aerodactyl and scored a direct hit. Aerodactyl’s wings began to freeze up, and it was unable to stay in the air. The Pokemon plummeted like a rock into the lake.
“That’s it! Surf!”
Aerodactyl was heavy and could barely keep itself above the surface, but it was not aided by Tentacruel’s waves crashing down on it and sending it further under. When Aerodactyl rose to the surface, it was belly-up.
As Ruby cheered, the hidden trainer cursed the lucky Tentacruel and its trainer, and quickly disappeared.
--------------------------------------------------
Silver had found himself traveling a narrow path on the edge of a huge chasm that seemed to stretch down for miles into the darkness of the cave.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Silver.png
He continued to walk through the darkness, until suddenly, a snarling Pokemon blocked his path (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_j1CjfLUb0).
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/262Mightyena.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/094Gengar.png
Before Mightyena could harm Silver, his Gengar materialized through the floor and spooked it, causing it to leap back, surprised.
“Come back for more, weakling? Well, I’m happy to oblige! Gengar, use Shadow Ball!”
Gengar formed a ball of shadowy energy in its palms, and launched it at Mightyena, who was unable to dodge on the narrow pathway. The wolf Pokemon looked annoyed, but not seriously injured by the blow. A voice from the darkness sounded.
“Crunch.”
At its trainer’s command, Mightyena leapt forward and snapped at Gengar. Normally a physical attack would pass straight through the ghostly Pokemon, but Mightyena’s dark power allowed it to tear away at Gengar’s ectoplasmic body, leaving it wounded.
“Gengar, use Hypnosis!”
“Double Team!”
Gengar tried to hypnotize Mightyena, but suddenly there were three of them surrounding Gengar and it didn’t know where to look.
“Finish this.”
The three Mightyena all surged forward and seemingly took another bite out of Gengar. Although there was really only one attack, the damage was done, and Gengar fell unconscious.
The Mightyena then turned their attention to Silver, who frantically reached for his next Pokeball, tossing it at them.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/262Mightyena.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/065Alakazam.png
Silver sighed when he saw the result of his choice. He had not meant to pick Alakazam, but he was stuck with it now.
“I don’t expect you to win, Alakazam, but we’re going to try. Focus Blast!”
Alakazam shot a powerful blast of energy, but it was slow-moving, and all three of the Mightyena copies dodged it easily.
“Crunch.”
“Teleport, Alakazam!”
Every time the Mightyena surged forward to attack, Alakazam would teleport itself to a new location, easily dodging the attacks. This continued for some time, but it was clear Alakazam was beginning to strain itself with all that movement. Silver was getting impatient waiting for an opportunity.
“Alakazam, use Miracle Eye!”
Using its inner Psychic strength, Alakazam opened its mind’s eye and began to see through all of the illusion surrounding the real Mightyena. It also saw a way around the dark aura surrounding Mightyena.
“Now use Psychic!”
Alakazam’s spoons glowed with Psychic power, and lifted Mightyena off the ground as effortlessly as if it were a stone. Mightyena looked terribly confused and unused to the sensation.
“What are you waiting for? Finish it already!”
Alakazam hurled Mightyena down into the chasm. It howled frantically as it dropped into the abyss, quickly disappearing from view.
“Hey, loser! Got anyone else you want me to toss down there?”
“No. In fact, he’s already down there waiting.”
From out of the chasm suddenly surged a huge, vicious-looking Charizard. It landed directly in front of Alakazam, dwarfing it and intimidating it.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/006Charizard-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/065Alakazam.png
“Psychic attack!”
Alakazam tried to lift Charizard with Psychic power, but before it could even move its spoons Charizard launched a Fire Blast at point-blank range. Alakazam was thrown against the side wall by the impact and fell to the ground, smoldering (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTJrmc-RXzo).
“Hah! So this is the famous Charizard that’s been beating up everyone’s Pokemon. Better get ready to lose! Go, Feraligatr!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/006Charizard-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/160Feraligatr.png
The average Feraligatr was larger than the average Charizard, but these two draconic Pokemon were nearly the same size. Nevertheless, Charizard’s size advantage was greatly diminished now that it was fighting a foe of the same stature.
“Quick! Ice Fang!”
Feraligatr lunged at Charizard with its icy jaws, and managed to snap down on its arm. Charizard roared in annoyance and blasted Feraligatr in the face with flame, causing it to let go. Then Charizard took to the air and began flying about the chasm, while Feraligatr was restricted to the narrow path.
“Hydro Pump!”
Feraligatr shot a powerful jet of water from its mouth, aiming for Charizard, but once again the flying creature was too fast, and merely flew around all of Feraligatr’s attempts to attack.
“Wing Attack.”
Flying in close, Charizard hit Feraligatr with its magnificent wingspan, knocking over the bulky Pokemon.
“Dragon Claw.”
As Feraligatr quickly got back to its feet, it was met by Charizard swooping by again, this time slashing at Feraligatr’s chest with its sharp claws. Feraligatr took the brunt of the attack and was unable to counter, as Charizard flew away again.
“Stand your ground, Feraligatr!”
“Dragon Claw, again.”
As Charizard swooped in for a third attack, Silver shouted to his Pokemon.
“Now, dodge and grab it with Ice Fang!”
Charizard tried to slash at Feraligatr with its claws, but this time Feraligatr ducked under them. When Charizard had all but passed by, Feraligatr snapped up and grabbed its tail in its powerful jaws. Whipping its head back, Feraligatr hurled Charizard into the side wall.
“Fire Blast!”
“Hydro Pump!”
Charizard quickly got back to its feet and launched a great stream of flame, just as Feraligatr shot a huge jet of water. The two attacks struck each other head-on, and both Pokemon held out to try and beat the other. It was soon proven once again that water trumps fire, though- the Hydro Pump burst through the flames and struck Charizard with a direct hit.
“Yes!”
Charizard slumped over, not wanting to give up but finding it hard to fight back.
“Finish it with Aqua Tail!”
Leaping into the air, Feraligatr somersaulted and struck Charizard hard with its tail. The blow was enough to topple the mighty Charizard, who fell to the ground unconscious.
“Ha! That Charizard was weak! I can’t believe even Gold lost to it. You ready to go home and cry yourself to sleep, loser?”
The mysterious trainer in the shadows responded with one word.
“No.”
A third Pokeball burst open to reveal yet another opponent.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/254Sceptile-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/160Feraligatr.png
The appearance of Sceptile wiped the smirk clean off of Silver’s face.
“Use Ice Fang!”
“Dragonbreath.”
Feraligatr lunged forward to attack, but was met with a blast of purple flame from Sceptile’s mouth. The attack caught Feraligatr off-guard and prevented it from counterattacking.
“Leaf Blade.”
With one fluid motion, Sceptile lunged forward and slashed at Feraligatr with its arm blades. Already weak from the previous battle, the powerful attack was enough to fell Feraligatr. Sceptile stepped over the large creature and stood poised to chop Silver’s head off. Silver was in shock himself for the moment.
“No way…”
Then, suddenly, Silver returned his Pokemon and dove straight into the abyss, in a seemingly suicidal move. Sceptile and the trainer looked incredibly confused, but after a moment shrugged and left. Perhaps the boy was unwilling to let his own life be taken from him, even though his death was yonder anyway.
In reality, Silver was hanging on tight to an Escape Rope. After he was sure the trainer was gone, he pulled himself back up over the edge, and hurried away from the chasm.
----------------------------------
The next morning, the trainers returned the arena once again and the announcer spoke.
“Greetings, trainers. It appears that Silver has run out of useable Pokemon and will be unable to continue in the tournament. As for the rest of you, carry on with the voting as usual.”

It's not just that, though. I was surprised when I saw Seon had extra pokemon, but he's clearly outclassed and outmatched. I think some people are more powerful than others, and that doesn't make them guilty. What is more indicative of guilt is who is attacking whom at night. I don't think Saregona is a vigilante or he would have owned up to it by now, and the scums would have killed him off by now.

Yes, but if the mafia had 3 pokemon that they could use to defend themselves, and 3 to attack, that could explain where Red has all these extra pokemon from.
And maybe Red isn't Red, but Team Rocket in disguise.

That's fine. Maybe Mewtwo is controlling Red and enhancing his pokemon. Or simply see his pokemon as the strongest, and therefore, the best to enslave and carry out his evil plans.
Or it could be Jesse and James under the control of the Mewtwo, after they tried foolishly to capture it. I dunno. I just know that the Charizard attacker isn't behaving like a townie, and Saregona/Red has a Charizard, and they're both very strong. Seems to me, he lost enough Pokemon in battle that we know who is doing the attacks, and he should be vulnerable now that some of his 'mons have fainted.

It was a remark about the typing. Like I said on your profile, I've beaten Silver a crapton of times. I would faint 1/3 of his team with a Dark pokemon, another 1/3 with a Fighting type, and the last two with an Electric. My level 100 Typhlosion didn't even need to come out, and when he did, I could actually win the battle with him alone. Choosing a team that covers its members weaknesses is the key to Pokemon, not the most awesome looking (that's priority number 2 :tongue:)

Not an accusation per se (Saregona's still my main suspect), but rather a desire to see why you were so keen to fight earlier in the game.

I thought Pizza dropped it when he realized the duels lasted until all of one trainer's pokemon fainted.
So when you guys say you're going after the "mafia", what exactly do you mean? I was under the impression that everyone here had the same goal: to win the tournament. So even if one or more people are capable of attacking others at night, they're still putting themselves at risk of being eliminated outside of sanctioned matches. So is there really any reason to worry about uncovering their identity?

Day 5
When the trainers had finished voting, the announcer piped up again, right on cue.
“Greetings, competitors. You have chosen as the participants for today’s battle: Red, the undefeated Champion of the Kanto Region, and Steven, the former Champion of the Hoenn Region! Both trainers are known for being incredible Pokemon masters, so this is sure to be a heated battle! Red should proceed to the red corner and Steven to the blue corner.”
As usual, Red never said a word during his matches – or ever, as it was presumed by many. Having only one Pokemon left, his choice was simple, and he impatiently tossed the ball up and down in his hand. Steven was a little more friendly, and tried in vain to make small talk before the match (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1hBm4LRZRw).
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Red-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Steven.png
“I’ve been looking forward to battling you for a long time, Red. I’ve heard about your exploits.”
“…”
“It’s been a pretty long time since I’ve had a truly challenging battle. I only wish your Pokemon were still at full strength, so that this would be a true test of our skills.”
“…”
“I know you don’t say much. That’s cool. Let’s just get this started, then. Good luck to you!”
“Will Red keep up his winning streak? Or has his strength been sapped enough for Steven to take the victory? Let the battle begin!”
“…”
“Alright then! Go, Aggron!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/143Snorlax-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/306Aggron.png
Red’s Snorlax looked just as huge and intimidating as it had the day before, but this time it appeared it would have a worthy match-up. On the other side of the arena stood what looked like a giant, living suit of armor. Aggron’s thick hide was covered in both rock and steel, and as powerful as it was Snorlax would have trouble penetrating it.
“Aggron, use Head Smash!”
Without waiting a moment longer, Aggron began charging forward with its head lowered. Its vicious-looking steel horns were pointed directly at Snorlax. Snorlax, believing it could withstand the blow, stood in place waiting. But when Aggron struck, the surprised Snorlax was knocked off its feet and landed with a heavy thud on the ground. It got back up and roared angrily.
“Didn’t expect that, did you?”
Snorlax reared back, then charged forward itself in a full-body tackle. The Giga Impact was only enough to push Aggron back a few feet, though. In fact, with its heavy metal coating, Aggron probably weighed more than even Red’s Snorlax.
“That’s what I love about Steel types! They’re so durable. Go after it again, Aggron!”
Aggron lowered its head and was about to start another charge, when suddenly Snorlax slammed its heavy feet against the ground, causing it to shake violently. Aggron toppled over and struggled to get back up quickly. By the time it rose to its feet, Snorlax was rushing forward with an Ice Punch attack.
“Protect yourself, Aggron!”
Aggron blocked Snorlax’s attack with its arms, and the Ice Punch bounced harmlessly off its metal coat.
“Clever move, Red, but two can play at that game! Aggron, create your own Earthquake!”
Aggron stamped its feet, creating another tremor which this time threw Snorlax off-balance.
“Now use Head Smash!”
As Aggron approached Snorlax with its deadly horns, Snorlax waited until the last minute and then grabbed Aggron’s face with both paws. Using all of its strength, Snorlax hurled Aggron backwards over its shoulder in a surprising Counter-attack. Aggron landed hard on its back, but its heavy armor prevented it from taking too much damage from the landing. It was tiring out, though, as it moved more slowly.
“That does it. Use Brick Break, Aggron!”
Aggron delivered a shattering punch straight into Snorlax’s massive gut. Although usually attacks tended to just bounce off of Snorlax’s belly, this time the huge Pokemon doubled over in pain, unable to respond.
“Earthquake!”
Aggron shook the ground, knocking Snorlax further off-balance.
“Now finish it with Head Smash!”
This time, Snorlax was unable to counter the attack, and it took the full brunt of Aggron’s iron horns. Snorlax was thrown to the floor and was unable to get back up. Eventually, getting frustrated and wearied, it just fell back asleep.
“Snorlax is unable to battle. Aggron is the winner! This means that the legendary Red has been defeated and eliminated, while Steven is victorious!”
“Thanks, Red. It was a good match. We should do this again sometime, preferably under less dangerous circumstances. Maybe I’ll visit you on Mt. Silver, or you could come to Meteor Falls in Hoenn.”
“…”
Red stared straight into Steven’s eyes, with a look that only Steven could understand. Then he turned around and left the arena, disappearing into Cerulean Cave. The rest of the trainers slowly followed after him.

It's a bad sign when you're paying more attention to the game than I am.
Who are you, Double A? Normally it troubles you to even vote. Now, you were right that Saregona wasn't who we were looking for because he lacked a Mightyena, but I have to be right that Seon isn't who we're looking for because he's down to his last one pokemon, so he can't be the person attacking us at night.
I brain farted because I didn't count up Saregona's mons, but you were on top of this the whole time and yet you're not backing up my reasons that Seon isn't a good target.
You're uncharacteristically keenly aware of what's going on, and it alarms me. You shoot down a bunch of my theories that you somehow know are wrong, but won't back me up when I accidentally say something that's correct. That tells me two things:
1. You know more than you're letting on
2. You don't really want to help

Pizza, if there's anything I know in life, it's Pokemon. I have played anywhere between 800 and 1000 hours of Pokemon, across the GB, GBA, DS, and even GC. I have played 12 Pokemon games, which includes Coliseum and XD for the GameCube. I truly have NO idea what's going on in this game, but I understand the battle mechanics perfectly.

Round over, still working on the write-up.
Night 5
As night fell again in the Cerulean Cave, the remaining competing trainers took up defensive positions, whether they were deeper inside the cave or near the arena rooms. The walls of the cavern would shake with the rumbling of Pokemon battles later that night.
Ruby was, once again, on the small island he had claimed for himself in the middle of the underground lake (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEwAPnIev38).
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Ruby.png
He was just lounging around, getting himself a nice rest before inevitably the mysterious trainer would stop by with new Pokemon for his Tentacruel to defeat. Sure enough, right on cue a shadowy figure appeared, and shouted across the lake at Ruby.
“YOU! Prepare yourself!”
“Back again? Tentacruel, let’s go!”
“Your overconfidence will be your downfall. This time, your fate is sealed! Go, Alakazam!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/065Alakazam-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/073Tentacruel.png
Alakazam stood at the lake’s edge, while Tentacruel floated in the waters some ten yards away. The two Pokemon stared at each other briefly before their trainers barked orders.
“Ice Beam!”
“Psychic attack!”
Tentacruel attempted to fire an Ice Beam, but it was quickly brought to a halt when Alakazam lifted up its spoons, glowing with Psychic power. Using telekinesis, Alakazam immobilized Tentacruel and lifted it out of the water. Then, with great force and precision, it hurled Tentacruel at a spike on the wall to the side. Tentacruel struck the spike and then fell to the solid ground below.
“BAHAHAHAHA! Now that I’ve got your Tentacruel out of the water, this will be child’s play!”
There was truth in the mysterious trainer’s words. Tentacruel tried to mount a defense, but on dry land it was only able to flounder about on its tentacles. It couldn’t move quickly enough to get to the water’s edge in time.
“Alakazam, use Shock Wave!”
Alakazam opened up a conduit of electricity from its spoons, and shot the thunderbolt straight at Tentacruel. Unable to dodge the attack, Tentacruel was struck head on and electrocuted viciously.
“No! Tentacruel!”
“Now, finish it off! Psychic!”
Alakazam lifted Tentacruel again, and proceeded to smash it up and down between the floor and the ceiling of the cave. When Alakazam was finished, Tentacruel had been knocked unconscious.
Ruby returned Tentacruel, and looked unsure of himself. Tentacruel had beaten five opponents before, but after this one loss, he would be forced to rely on only Manectric to protect him. Ruby threw the Pokeball over to the mysterious trainer’s side.
“Go, Manectric! Use Thunder Wave!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/065Alakazam-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/310Manectric.png
As soon as it landed, Manectric unleashed an electromagnetic pulse that blasted Alakazam. Although Alakazam was not physically harmed by the electricity, it was paralyzed and its movements slowed.
“Discharge!”
“Match it with Shock Wave!”
Manectric and Alakazam both launched powerful electric attacks, but Manectric’s capacity for the creation of electricity was much greater than Alakazam’s. Manectric’s current canceled out Alakazam’s and still had enough strength left over to blast the Psychic Pokemon off its feet.
“I’ve had enough of this… use Hypnosis!”
Alakazam began staring into Manectric’s eyes and emitting Psychic waves into its brain. Manectric was immobilized, unable to look away, and it soon fell into a deep sleep as Ruby could only watch in frustration.
“Now use Dream Eater!”
Alakazam began draining the life energy from Manectric as it slept, and using it to heal the damage it had taken to its own frail body. In less than a minute, Manectric was completely drained of energy, and it did not wake back up.
“No! Manectric!”
Ruby returned his Pokemon, threw a Smoke Ball, and dove into the water. When the smoke cleared, the frustrated trainer could not find him anywhere nearby.
--------------------------------------------
Steven had found himself a wide-open space deep in the cave, which was glittering with glowing gemstones.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Steven.png
Among the more conventional jewels, Steven was sure he would find several evolution-inducing stones down here, such as a Moon Stone or a Water Stone. But more importantly, this deep into the ground Steven was certain to find fossils of ancient Pokemon. Both of these prospects interested the curious trainer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1hBm4LRZRw) deeply, and he was rather annoyed when an uninvited visitor dropped in to battle.
“Steven. Any last words before I destroy you?”
“You haven’t even battled me yet, and I’m at full strength! Go, Aggron!”
“Excellent. Just the move I was hoping for. Go, Machamp!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/068Machamp.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/306Aggron.png
Normally, Aggron’s thick hide of rock and steel was a huge asset, but it would severely impair it in this battle, and Steven quickly realized the mistake he made in sending out his Pokemon first. Machamp would have greater mobility, and besides that fact its four powerful arms were principally trained by smashing rocks and tearing apart iron.
“Machamp, use Earthquake!”
Slamming the ground with its powerful arms, Machamp created tremors in the ground. Several gemstones came dislodged from the walls and ceiling and fell to the ground.
“Aggron, Protect yourself!”
Aggron held up its guard and concentrated on standing its ground. It was totally unaffected by Machamp’s attack.
“Get in there and use Low Kick!”
While Aggron was withstanding the tremors, Machamp rushed forward and swept low with its foot, succeeding in tripping Aggron the manual way. The heavy Pokemon fell flat on its face and struggled to get back up.
“Cross Chop!”
Using its four arms, Machamp deliver four devastating karate chops to Aggron’s body, inflicting massive damage. The force of the blows was such that Aggron was barely able to stand.
“Now finish it with Seismic Toss!”
In an incredible display of strength, Machamp lifted Aggron and hurled it straight at Steven. Luckily, the master trainer ducked, but Aggron kept on flying into the wall, which it struck with a thud. Aggron did not regain consciousness.
“Well… you succeeded in tricking me there, but I hope you’ve got a good strategy for the rest, because it won’t be nearly that easy to defeat me! Go, Metagross!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/068Machamp.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/376Metagross.png
Metagross made a deep, metallic screeching sound, and then began approaching Machamp slowly.
“Cross Chop!”
Machamp rushed forward and tried to hit Metagross with the same tactic it used against Aggron, but it was stopped abruptly mid-charge. Metagross’s eyes glowed menacingly, and it lifted Machamp off the ground with Psychic power. Then Metagross proceeded to fling Machamp around the room like a rag doll, smashing it into the walls and ceiling, which were interspersed with sharp gemstones poking out. When Metagross finally released Machamp, it was in no shape to be battling.
The mysterious trainer grumbled and sent out another Pokemon.
“Go, Typhlosion!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/157Typhlosion-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/376Metagross.png
The flame vents around Typhlosion’s neck flared up dangerously as it prepared itself to fight. Metagross remained stoic in its disposition.
“Use Flame Wheel!”
Typhlosion got a running start, then rolled up into a ball. It spun quickly enough that when it flared up its flame vents, the fire spread to cover its entire body. As Typhlosion picked up speed, it began zipping around the battlefield as a literal wheel of flame. Metagross, unable to turn around quickly enough to anticipate its attack, was struck directly in the back. It was hurt, but it knocked Typhlosion away with a Psychic pulse.
“Hit it with Meteor Mash!”
Metagross levitated itself into the air stretched out its legs, and then began spinning around. Its four taloned legs spun like a series of deadly fan blades. Metagross had a wide enough leg-span that Typhlosion was not able to easily leap around it, and it was struck by the attack.
“Now, Hammer Arm!”
Immediately, Metagross stopped spinning, and instead proceeded to batter Typhlosion with a heavy steel leg. Typhlosion was knocked to the ground and got up slowly.
“Metagross, finish it with Hyper Beam!”
“Dodge it!”
Just in time, Typhlosion leapt out of the way to dodge the powerful blast of energy that Metagross released. Typhlosion had a few free seconds to attack while Metagross regained its strength.
“Overheat, now!”
Typhlosion got up close to Metagross, and then began burning intensely. The air around the two Pokemon heated up dramatically, until it was hot enough that Metagross’s steel body could start to melt. The metal Pokemon roared in pain. When Typhlosion couldn’t hold up the heat blast any longer, Metagross fell to the ground, unable to fight.
“No way! How could you beat Metagross?”
Steven was worried now. Metagross was the one he always turned to when the situation became dire.
“Fine then. Go, Cradily!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/157Typhlosion-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/346Cradily.png
“Do you really expect this one to even be a challenge?”
“Cradily, use Rock Slide!”
Cradily caused a stream of rocks and gemstones to fall from the ceiling. Typhlosion spun into a Flame Wheel and dodged around all of the stones before smashing into Cradily.
“Let’s finish this. Use Flare Blitz!”
Typhlosion coated itself in flame and then charged full-force into Cradily, engulfing it in an inferno. Cradily fell to the ground, scorched and knocked unconscious.
The mysterious trainer looked around for Steven, but he had seemingly disappeared. He was about to leave, frustrated, when a beam shot from Steven’s Pokeball near the single entrance to the gem cavern, returning Cradily to him. Before the trainer could give chase, Steven bolted and faded out of sight.
---------------------------------------------------
Lance was sitting outside the arena dormitories.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Lance.png
He intended to serve as protector to any who stayed there during the night, but in truth he probably derived just as much safety from the other trainers as they did from him. Perhaps, with the mindset of a Champion, he felt it his responsibility. He certainly felt it his responsibility when he heard roaring from the arena (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCIqh48mFdE).
“Go, Charizard!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/445Garchomp-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/006Charizard.png
Lance couldn’t see very well in the unlit arena, but there was no mistaking that roar. Lance looked at his opponent’s Pokemon, only to see:
“Garchomp?”
Garchomp raged, and began dueling with Charizard, the two dragons exchanging blows.
“It couldn’t be…”
Lance shrugged whatever doubts he had in his mind away and focused back on the battle. Garchomp was larger than Charizard and had greater reach, but Charizard had the advantage of speedy flight.
“Use Flamethrower!”
Charizard fired a long jet of flame from its mouth, which struck Garchomp all over its body as Charizard circled around it in the air. The attack did not look as if it damaged Garchomp terribly, but it left burn marks all over the dragon’s skin.
“Strike with Outrage!”
Garchomp began firing powerful energy beams at Charizard, but it was fast enough to see them coming and dodge them with swift aerial dives and swerves. After the fifth or so beam, Garchomp was starting to become tired and disoriented.
“Now’s your chance! Use Dragon Claw!”
Swooping by with great precision, Charizard stretched out both of its claws and slashed them along Garchomp’s side, scoring deep cuts. This, combined with Garchomp’s burns and fatigue, caused it to collapse to the ground.
“No matter. I have more. Go, Gallade!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/475Gallade-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/006Charizard.png
Gallade struck a fighting pose, but Charizard was already way ahead of it and soaring through the air. It fired bursts of flame from its mouth, hoping to burn Gallade as it had with Garchomp.
“Detect!”
Gallade was able to use its Psychic powers to easily predict, detect, and sidestep all of Charizard’s attacks. It continued to hold a defensive stance.
“Use Air Slash!”
Charizard whipped up an air current that ripped away at Gallade’s defenses, knocking it to the ground. Charizard flew in close for a melee attack.
“Catch it with a Charge Beam!”
Leaping to its feet, Gallade fired a beam of electrons that struck Charizard straight in the chest. The electric attack caught Charizard off-guard, and it plummeted out of the sky, sliding roughly into the ground.
“Psycho Cut!”
Using its arm blades, Gallade slashed at the air and fired blade-shaped Psychic blasts at Charizard which hurt it even more as it tried to get up and fight back.
“Finish it! Close Combat!”
Now Gallade rushed forward and actually began slashing Charizard with its blades. After only a few hits more, Charizard was in no shape to battle, and it fell to the ground, fainted.
Lance looked disappointed, but not worried.
“Return, Charizard. Go, Sceptile!"
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/475Gallade-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/254Sceptile.png
Sceptile and Gallade faced off, each practically beckoning the other to come by for a duel.
“Psycho Cut!”
“Leaf Blade!”
The two Pokemon locked blades. Each Pokemon began swiping, slashing, and dodging attacks, but neither was able to score a direct hit on the other.
“Go faster! Use your Agility!”
With enhanced speed, though, Sceptile could easily handle Gallade. It managed to slash the Pokemon about seven times before Gallade could escape to a safer part of the arena.
“Gallade, you have to hit it hard!”
“Leaf Storm, Sceptile!”
Sceptile reared back, and launched a veritable storm of razor-sharp leaves at Gallade, making it impossible for it to dodge them all. Gallade was caught by the force of the blow, and knocked several yards backwards. Gallade tried to get back to its feet, but fell midway and then fainted.
The hidden trainer cursed the luck that was given, and sped out of the room as quickly as possible. Something was still bothering Lance after the battle.
"That Garchomp... it couldn't have been... could it?"
----------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, the trainers returned as usual- minus two. The announcer spoke, in an almost apologetic voice.
“Greetings, trainers. It is unfortunate, but Ruby and Steven have no usable Pokemon left, and must be eliminated from the competition. Let the voting begin!”

Seems Khaan has claimed to be the person who got attacked by, apparently, his own pokemon, and the attacker fled. So, I'm not sure why I would want to vote for him here, I'd rather vote for Khaan's attacker.
Meanwhile, Jolt is obsessed with destroying Seon when it's clear Seon cannot be responsible for these attacks.
Unless...
Seon could be responsible for the attacks if he's been using other people's pokemon somehow, as seeming to be indicated by certain writeups. That way he survives a duel with one pokemon and then never uses it again, but somehow commands other people's pokemon against them.
Hmmm. Hmm hmm hmm.
I'm not feeling the Khaan duel. We've already seen his pokemon in battle, mine have not. I'd be willing to battle a suspect, and I'd like some thoughts on the whole number of pokemon we carry versus number of pokemon used in attacks at night, let's discuss that.

Why are you so obsessed with Seon? He only has one pokemon left.
HE LOST AND SURVIVED A DUEL GODDAMNIT.
We have 10 eliminated people so far and not one except Seon has actually lost a battle and continues in the game.
Are you telling me that is not strange? Are you telling me that because in the write-up his own character says that he has one Pokemon (e.g. It is not an impartial narrator which confirms this fact), he should get a pass to the last round of the game because he "Only has one Pokemon"?
Robbiecon had a unique ability to revive fallen pokemons. Was he guilty because we haven't found anyone who could do that?
Your logic does not make sense.

Kill Seon or whatever, just so we can all move on. Just make sure he fights someone we havn't seen yet.
Robbiecon had a unique ability to revive fallen pokemons. Was he guilty because we haven't found anyone who could do that?
Your logic does not make sense.
Actually it makes more sense the more we hear from you.
Reviving other's pokemon's is a unique ability which, not only is it clearly connected to the character in question (That Nurse is from the Pokemon Centers), but it has a clear Pro-Town purpose, so it isn't really that strange.
Yours is surviving a duel, which (Since I'm not a Pokemon specialist), is it in any way connected with your character? And the purpose of it is...? Supposedly if it really is as you say, you only have one Pokemon left, so you become rather useless to help the town unless the mafiosi are also down to one pokemon as well, which means that that ability should give you a free ride to the end game, which is when there is a stronger chance of the mafiosi being down to such few probabilities of winning. Now, I doubt that is the purpose of your ability. What is your ability for then? Now ATPG made a pretty good theory which I hadn't thought about it. Since Mewtwo is somewhere involved in this game, I wouldn't put it past me that it could control other trainers Pokemons, and even if he/you had only one left (Which would be Mewtwo, obviously), he could still use other pokemons to night attack.
If we manage to put you in a duel and you turn out to be a townie, I'm more than willing to put myself in a duel against anyone the very next day.

OK, I think its time to do a recap and some sorting, for the night attacks.
So far, pokemon we've seen for the attacker:
Night 1: Zangoose in one attack, Persian in another, and Blissey in a third. Nobody gone(silly normal types)
Night 2: Gyarados and claydol in first attack, then magnezone and charizard in separate attacks. Joy gone.
Day 3: Giovanni gone.
Night 3: Roserade, Walrein, Espeon in one attack. Charizard in another, and magnezone in a third. Gold and Maxi gone.
Day 4: Diamond out.
Night 4: Magnezone and Aerodactyl in one attack, Mightyena, Charizard, and Sceptile in another. Silver gone.
Day 5: Red out.
Night 5: Alakasam in one attack, Machamp and Typhlosion in another, and (my) garchomp and a gallade. Ruby and Steven out.
Something that's worth noting- the attacker at night seems to be very good about getting that first matchup well predicted, after the first night. The first night, a bunch of normal types got sent out on the attack and were trounced. The attacker(s) at night seem to have access to a large number of pokemon. A count of them shows: zangoose, persian, blissey, gyarados, claydol, magnezone, charizard, roserade, walrein, espeon, aerodactyl, mightyena, sceptile, alakazam, machamp, typhlosion, garchomp, and gallade. My guess is- the attacker has access to *all* of our pokemon at night. The normal types were thrown out on night 1 as test subjects- they had no idea who most people were, and so they sent feeble normal types, who have no type advantage, to their doom so better pokemon could be used later. Another possibility is that we're dealing with clones, ala the first pokemon movie, wherein Mewtwo cloned every trainer's pokemon. Another hint that this is a possibility is the craziness going on with the charizard and some of the other oddities at night. Trying to discern who is guilty through the duels might actually be pointless, insofar as trying to link pokemon up with the night attacks. It also would mean that Seon is hardly exonerated just for only having one pokemon left. Lastly, I'd point out that Mewtwo, being a powerful psychic, can probably brain control people, so determining guilt by role is probably pointless too.
That said, we need to get people in the ring and put pressure on them. This is going to have to come down to a good old fashioned scum hunt.

Okay! Seon and Jolt for the duel. I'm convinced that there could be something off about one of them.
By the way, my pokemon have never been used up by this pokemon cloner/thief. No one has seen my pokemon yet.
Theory: Could this trainer be using the pokemon that we did not use? Or is it confirmed they are stealing our active ones?
Edit- they haven't been using my unused pokemon either.

Why would I do that if I believe that Seon is scum, whereas I have no idea about other people? If I been saying thus far that Seon being alive this far into the game is extremely silly town behaviour, what do you believe will make me vote for someone else?
Should I follow pack mentality and vote someone else just because you and others want me to, without there being no other arguments for it? Sorry, ever since I started playing Mafia, I was never the guy that votes with the rest of the folks just because it looks cool.
The fact is that the only person that has a reason to be suspected of being scum thus far is Seon (Not me, not you, not Secura, not ATPG), and the fact that the town doesn't acknowledge that is quite disturbing.
What would cause Secura to go suddenly quiet after being all over the thread at the beginning?
I've been quiet? Is nobody reading Animus?
Someone doesn't know his Anglo-French history... :P
I'm off to Beskar's in a few hours to handle the end-game writeups (so much easier than doing it all through MSN); they'll all be coming together, I think. :bow:
That is where I have been all day, though we've done more playing of EU3 (I'm Tuscany <3) than actual writing; feel free to ask Beskar, if you so choose and it doesn't break any rules.

quick convo with Secura pushes me back onto my previous suspect Double A.
I am going to work. I am not going to whine if you make me duel today, because I have not given this game the time it deserves. However, I don't lurk as mafia and I don't not try as mafia. Ever.
unvote, vote: Double A
Having spoken to Pizza and re-read the writeup (particularly the Lance/Garchomp parts), I'm willing to give himself and 'khaan the benefit of the doubt for now; their claims make alot of sense.
I'm going to unvote, vote: Double A in the meantime.

OK, I think its time to do a recap and some sorting, for the night attacks.
So far, pokemon we've seen for the attacker:
Night 1: Zangoose in one attack, Persian in another, and Blissey in a third. Nobody gone(silly normal types)
Night 2: Gyarados and claydol in first attack, then magnezone and charizard in separate attacks. Joy gone.
Day 3: Giovanni gone.
Night 3: Roserade, Walrein, Espeon in one attack. Charizard in another, and magnezone in a third. Gold and Maxi gone.
Day 4: Diamond out.
Night 4: Magnezone and Aerodactyl in one attack, Mightyena, Charizard, and Sceptile in another. Silver gone.
Day 5: Red out.
Night 5: Alakasam in one attack, Machamp and Typhlosion in another, and (my) garchomp and a gallade. Ruby and Steven out.
Something that's worth noting- the attacker at night seems to be very good about getting that first matchup well predicted, after the first night. The first night, a bunch of normal types got sent out on the attack and were trounced. The attacker(s) at night seem to have access to a large number of pokemon. A count of them shows: zangoose, persian, blissey, gyarados, claydol, magnezone, charizard, roserade, walrein, espeon, aerodactyl, mightyena, sceptile, alakazam, machamp, typhlosion, garchomp, and gallade. My guess is- the attacker has access to *all* of our pokemon at night. The normal types were thrown out on night 1 as test subjects- they had no idea who most people were, and so they sent feeble normal types, who have no type advantage, to their doom so better pokemon could be used later. Another possibility is that we're dealing with clones, ala the first pokemon movie, wherein Mewtwo cloned every trainer's pokemon. Another hint that this is a possibility is the craziness going on with the charizard and some of the other oddities at night. Trying to discern who is guilty through the duels might actually be pointless, insofar as trying to link pokemon up with the night attacks. It also would mean that Seon is hardly exonerated just for only having one pokemon left. Lastly, I'd point out that Mewtwo, being a powerful psychic, can probably brain control people, so determining guilt by role is probably pointless too.
That said, we need to get people in the ring and put pressure on them. This is going to have to come down to a good old fashioned scum hunt.
OH MY GOD, THAT'S BRILLIANT! WHY DIDN'T I SEE IT BEFORE?
In the first Pokemon movie, what did Mewtwo do?
He CLONED all the trainers Pokemon! Mewtwo's minions must be using either cloned versions of the Pokemon we have, or the more likely situation, clones of the Pokemon we deposited in the machine!
Guys, Seon is not guilty, or at least I don't think so. He has an extra Pokemon. So what? If he was out to get us, why would he have just not deposited ONE Pokemon in the machine? If he truly wanted to win at all costs, he'd have left 3 empty Pokeballs, not one. Furthermore, you can't do much with one Pokemon. If it faints due to an unlucky matchup, you're gone. Finished. Kaput. I think every attacker lost at least one Pokemon, which would mean Seon can't be them.
And furthermore... Pizza, every single one of my Pokemon on my original team of six is from either the first or second generation. I'm Blue, a Kanto gym leader. Why would I use a foreign pokemon from Hoenn or Sinnoh? I've been training with these Pokemon since I started out on my journey. Well, smell ya later, I got stuff to do.
What kind of argument is that?
Why would I do that if I believe that Seon is scum, whereas I have no idea about other people? If I been saying thus far that Seon being alive this far into the game is extremely silly town behaviour, what do you believe will make me vote for someone else?
Should I follow pack mentality and vote someone else just because you and others want me to, without there being no other arguments for it? Sorry, ever since I started playing Mafia, I was never the guy that votes with the rest of the folks just because it looks cool.
The fact is that the only person that has a reason to be suspected of being scum thus far is Seon (Not me, not you, not Secura, not ATPG), and the fact that the town doesn't acknowledge that is quite disturbing.
Not my point, really, it's more that you seem to have stuck with Seon (and only Seon) through all different possible interpretations of his extra Pokeman; I've never really seen you waver or look at anyone else, or anything. You get to go on the "we MUST lynch Seon again" crusade and never need talk about anything else.
Seon probably should have gone up for a second "lynch" long since if only because unrevealed lynch survival is so incredibly anti-town a mechanism in the first place. (Follow through on the second lynch every single time, and maybe GMs will stop using it for town players. A girl can hope. Because I hate it. But anyway.) But again that's not really the point. Correct me if I'm wrong in my description of you; I can't swear I've been paying the closest of attention.

Fair enough that you're busy, but it doesn't mean your innocent. Just because you've got a totally legitimate reason for activity doesn't mean you're innocent. That said, Unvote: Secura, Vote: Double A I'm not sure how the clone idea exonerates Seon. It pretty much means that anyone can be the mafia with any number of pokemon- they've got the huge number of "backups" which they can use for night attacks only.
I do agree with that, and also don't get that Secura says that your claim and Pizza's look solid. What does that have to do with anything?
Also --
I think living players should name their unchosen Pokemon.

I'd like to point out that anyone could go on Bulbapedia and check the trainer's most recent line-up to figure out what the trainer still has.
And that I also have a mini bandwagon for some reason.
Also --
I think living players should name their unchosen Pokemon.
I don't think unchosen pokemons have anything to do with it. One of the Pokemons being used in the night attacks is one of my own, but I haven't seen any pokemon I didn't choose being used in the night attacks.

04-16-2011, 03:28
As far as what they night attacks are using- I've seen sceptile and multiple charizards, both of which I have active. The garchomp was left on the bench, and is the one that triggered this whole discussion. Granted charizard and sceptile are both starters and thus might be common, but I think its probably safe to say that the attacker can use all of the pokemon we could choose from.

I'm going to say that I have seen Pokemon that I didn't pick. It's odd, since there are hundereds of Pokemon, even when you take into account that all the ones here are fully evolved.

I am perfectly comfortable revealing which pokemon I have, especially if I get attacked at night. Until then I feel I stand a better chance of surviving the hit if they do not know which pokemon I have lined up.
And yes, I'm aware of how flagrantly scummy it sounds. But seriously, and I will claim if I absolutely have to, it is a wiser policy not to. I actually stand a chance of surviving since I am at full health. Let's not jinx it.
Also, no pun intended.

Right. So it might give an idea of what could be coming.

Tally:
Double A - 3 (ATPG, Secura, khaan)
Jolt - 2 (Zack, Seon)
Seon - 1 (Jolt)
The duel is between Double A and Jolt. I'll try to have the write-up done ASAP.
I do agree with that, and also don't get that Secura says that your claim and Pizza's look solid. What does that have to do with anything?
Observe this (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?134206-Council-of-Villains-Mewtwo-s-Retribution-In-Game&p=2053296265&viewfull=1#post2053296265) post of Pizza's; in it, he states that 'khaan claimed to be attacked last night, and by one of his own Pokémon no less.
I spoke to Pizza about this, he explained himself further, elaborating on the stolen Pokémon theory and 'khaan's likely innocence; the claims made sense, particularly those regarding Lance/Garchomp, and thus I opted to look elsewhere, following Pizza's suggestion of Double A since my own suspects were pretty much Pizza/Yaseikhaan.
So, in response to "what does that have to do with anything?", I would have to say "everything"; if I believe the claims, then I see them as innocent... if I see them as innocent, then they do not merit my vote.
Day 6
The seven remaining competitors all took their votes. When they were done, the announcer spoke.
“Greetings, trainers! Things seem to be getting down to the wire here, as less than half of the original seventeen trainers are still able to compete in the tournament. Some have defended their titles admirably, while others have yet to face a single battle. Today, you have chosen as the participants of the duel: Blue, the former Champion of Kanto and Gym Leader of Viridian City, and Emerald, a powerful master trainer from Hoenn! As is only natural, Blue should proceed to the blue corner. I wish there was a green corner for you, Emerald, but for now you will have to take the red corner.”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Blue-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Emerald.png
Each trainer took his position. Blue was confident, and especially so since, with Red eliminated, he imagined himself the most powerful trainer left in the competition. Emerald was noticeably nervous, but still had a burning desire to win, and would not go down easily.
“Alright, kid, you ready to get this over with?”
“The name’s Emerald. I’m ready to go… but only if you want to lose!”
“If both trainers are ready, then let the battle begin!”
Both trainers let loose their first Pokemon at the same time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMPvoVAX2XU).
“Go, Pidgeot!”
“Magnezone, I choose you!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/018Pidgeot.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/462Magnezone.png
The match-up looked bad for Blue and Pidgeot, as Magnezone’s electric attacks would be able to blast it out of the sky. Despite this, Blue did not look worried.
“Alright, Pidgeot. Make sure you’ve got a Tailwind!”
Pidgeot flapped its great wings vigorously, then spun and soared through the air in a wide arc. Effectively, Pidgeot had created an air current that circled the battlefield, so that as long as it flew in a certain direction, it would move even faster than usual.
“Magnezone, use Zap Cannon!”
Magnezone launched a huge ball of electricity at Pidgeot, but the bird Pokemon easily avoided it. It fired several more blasts, but Pidgeot was too fast to be hit.
“Now, use Brave Bird!”
Suddenly, Pidgeot dove out of the air current and began picking up incredible speed, heading straight for Magnezone. Magnezone, unable to move quickly enough to dodged out of the way, was struck by the impact. Due to its hard steel shell, though, Magnezone was knocked around, but not incredibly harmed. Pidgeot, dazed, steadied itself as it flew away.
“Hit it with Flash Cannon!”
A beam of light flashed and shot from Magnezone striking Pidgeot in the back. Pidgeot began losing altitude and was about to crash into the ground.
“Now use Thunderbolt!”
“Roost, Pidgeot!”
Pidgeot turned its tailspin into a graceful landing, and began to rest and regain its strength. Magnezone launched a powerful electric attack at Pidgeot, and it was a direct hit, but since Pidgeot was grounded it managed to avoid being completely electrocuted.
“Mirror Move, Pidgeot!”
Pidgeot was somehow able to reverse the current of the Thunderbolt and send it all straight back at Magnezone. Magnezone bristled with static electricity and was confused by the sudden shock. Pidgeot took the opportunity to get back to the air.
“Lock on to it, Magnezone!”
Magnezone began observing Pidgeot’s electrical and magnetic signature intensely, and acquired a lock on it. Blue observed what was going on, and looked worried.
“Pidgeot, hit it with Brave Bird again!”
“Now, Zap Cannon!”
As Pidgeot began to dive-bomb Magnezone again, it began charging up for an electrical attack. Just before Pidgeot made contact. Magnezone released the Zap Cannon, hitting Pidgeot at point-blank range. Pidgeot was blasted back to its side of the arena and landed with an ungraceful thud.
“Pidgeot is unable to battle! Magnezone is the winner!”
“Return, Pidgeot. Hey, you’re not too bad, kid. But there’s no way you can beat Arcanine!”
Blue threw in a second Pokeball, releasing a large, furry Pokemon that looked like a cross between a large dog and a tiger.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/059Arcanine-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/462Magnezone.png
“Now, Arcanine, use Extreme Speed!”
Arcanine began to run incredibly fast, almost so that it was barely visible to the naked eye. It ran around Magnezone, who was unable to track it and spun around fruitlessly in the effort. Finally, Arcanine took the opportunity to ram into Magnezone and continued to move at high speed around the arena.
“Magnezone, Lock On!”
Magnezone tried to lock on to Arcanine, but it was taking longer to do so than it had for Pidgeot.
“Finish this, Arcanine. Use Flamethrower!”
Arcanine zipped up to Magnezone and stopped short. Then it unleashed a torrent of white-hot flame from its mouth, bathing Magnezone in it. Magnezone was engulfed in the inferno, and as its circuits began to fry it fell to the floor, shutting down.
“Magnezone is unable to battle. Arcanine is the winner!”
“Go, Altaria!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/059Arcanine-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/334Altaria.png
Emerald’s Pokemon looked conspicuously like a large, flying ball of cotton. Blue was unsure whether or not to laugh.
“Arcanine, use Flamethrower!”
The flames engulfed Altaria, but it was not devastated by the attack. Instead, with a flap of its fluffy wings, it beat back the flames and floated away.
“Dragon Pulse, Altaria!”
Altaria now launched a powerful blast of energy from its mouth that struck Arcanine and knocked it off its feet.
“That thing is a Dragon?”
“Altaria, Earthquake!”
As it floated by, Altaria’s eyes glowed, and the ground began to shake. A spike of earth shot up from underneath Arcanine, sending it flying into the air as it yelped in pain.
“Arcanine, use Thunder Fang!”
While still in the air, Arcanine maneuvered itself so that its jaws snapped onto Altaria’s neck, flooding the dragon with electric current. The weight of Arcanine drove both of them into the ground, and pinned Altaria underneath it.
“No! Altaria! Hmm… use Perish Song.”
What sounded less like a song and more like a mournful, wailing screech was released from Altaria’s throat. Both Pokemon winced from the sound, but Arcanine kept biting with Thunder Fang.
“Dragon Pulse! Get it off you!”
Altaria gathered up its strength, and blasted Arcanine with an outward pulse of energy. Arcanine was knocked off of it, and struggled to get back up.
“Sky Attack!”
As fast as it could, Altaria charged into Arcanine, knocking it to the ground again. This time, the tired Pokemon did not get back up.
“Arcanine is unable to battle! Altaria is the winner!”
“Fine then! Go, Exeggutor!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/103Exeggutor-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/334Altaria.png
Now it was Emerald’s turn to be amused at the appearance of Blue’ Exeggutor, which looked almost like a walking palm tree.
“Laugh all you want! Exeggutor, use Psychic!”
Exeggutor’s six eyes glowed with Psychic energy, and it threw the airborne Altaria back into the ground.
“Sky Attack!”
Altaria got back up, and was about to take to the air again, but a pained, tired look suddenly crossed its face. Altaria fell down and fainted.
“Oh no! The Perish Song… I forgot.”
“Too bad. You could’ve gone without it.”
“Altaria is unable to battle. Exeggutor is the winner!”
Emerald took out his last Pokeball. He gripped it tight, built up his confidence, and then hurled it into the arena.
“Go, Gardevoir!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/103Exeggutor-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/282Gardevoir.png
Gardevoir glided gracefully a few inches off the ground when it moved. It seemed determined to protect its trainer from the possible loss.
“Psychic attack, Gardevoir!”
“Do the same, Exeggutor!”
Both Pokemon, having Psychic tendencies, would have trouble using them against each other. Both Pokemon’s eyes began glowing with otherworldly energy, and they were each still and unmoving. Although it looked as if nothing were happening, in reality their minds had formed a connection and were dueling for dominance. Both Exeggutor and Gardevoir looked under incredible stress.
“I know you can do it, Gardevoir!”
Eventually, Gardevoir switched its strategy and began firing Psychic waves of energy at its opponent as well. Exeggutor was struck by the first of them, and tried to dodge the attacks.
“Come on, Exeggutor! Use Light Screen and retaliate against it!”
A bubble of Psychic energy appeared around Exeggutor, shielding it from Gardevoir’s energy blasts. It began to fire its own Psychic wave blasts.
“Defend yourself, Gardevoir!”
Gardevoir threw up a Light Screen bubble as well, blocking Exeggutor’s attacks as it continued its own. Now each Pokemon was under incredible strain, simultaneously dueling with their minds, firing energy blasts, and holding up a defensive wall of energy.
“Now you’ve got it, Gardevoir! Imprison it!”
Gardevoir accessed the parts of Exeggutor’s mind that it could navigate easily- that is, the memories that the two Pokemon shared. Then it shut down and blocked those parts of its mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDOtEeI8sOQ). Suddenly, Exeggutor’s attacks stopped and its Light Screen dropped. It was unable to perform any move that Gardevoir also knew how to do.
“Gardevoir, attack!”
Exeggutor was blasted by the Psychic waves, lifted into the air, and thrown backwards. It landed with a heavy thud. However, Exeggutor managed to get back up, albeit wearily. It was a resilient Pokemon.
“Good save, Exeggutor. Unfortunately for you, kid, we don’t need Psychic attacks to beat you. Use Leaf Storm!”
Exeggutor launched a massive storm of razor leaves at Gardevoir. All of the leaves were blocked by Gardevoir’s Light Screen, but it had to expend extra energy to keep the shield up and was forced on the defensive.
“Now, use Wood Hammer!”
With its great tree-trunk legs, Exeggutor began to charge forward, straight at Gardevoir. All the while the leaves from the storm were still holding Gardevoir back, preventing it from attacking. Exeggutor ran straight into Gardevoir’s shield, shattering it and continuing onward to smash it with a heavy headbutt. The frail Gardevoir was knocked to the ground, and fainted from the concussive blow.
“No! Gardevoir!”
“Gardevoir is unable to battle. Exeggutor is the winner! This means that Blue is victorious, and unfortunately, Emerald has been eliminated from the competition.”
Emerald ran up to his Pokemon and made sure it was ok before returning it to its ball. He regarded the ball fondly, then put it away before walking up to Blue.
“That was a good battle, Blue. I’ve learned a lot, even if I didn’t win.”
“Hey, you put up a good fight. I was worried when you came out with that Imprison attack.”
The two trainers shook hands, and turned around to go their separate ways. Before Emerald was out of earshot, however, Blue called to him.
“Hey! Smell you later, Emerald!”

Hey, all!
I have just been informed that I'm going out to dinner for my birthday about an hour before the night is set to end (which means about 2 hours from now).
I'm not going to have time to finish and post the write-up before that time. However, I realize I have been perpetually late with these things and it's probably annoying you all. So, if you guys would like the day phase to begin at 4 PM today, then I can post a summary of what the write-up would have said at that time, and then when I get back fill it in with the true write-up.
This will probably destroy any sense of suspense that the write-up might have had.
So, let me know if you guys want to start early/on-time with a barebones write-up, or a few hours later with a full write-up. Thanks!

Night 6
As night fell, the six trainers became distrustful of each other. They had all reasoned that the mysterious trainer or trainers were among them, and now that there were so few left, groups were no longer safe. A single impostor in a group of two or three could overwhelm the others when the opportunity was right. Each trainer staked out a spot in the cave that was defensible.
Lance sat in the darkened arena, awaiting a rematch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCIqh48mFdE) from the night before.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Lance.png
He did not have to wait long for a shadowy trainer to appear at the other end of the battlefield. Lance sent out his Sceptile and challenged the trainer.
“What have you done with my Garchomp? Where are my Pokemon? I demand that you tell me what’s going on here!”
“I’ll make you an offer, Lance… if you can defeat me, then I’ll tell you what I did with them.”
“Hah! You think I can’t crush you right here?”
“You underestimate me, Lance the Dragon master… I have prepared! Go, Froslass!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/478Froslass.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/254Sceptile.png
The silhouetted trainer sent out a ghostly Pokemon that was surrounded by a freezing aura. Froslass’s icy attacks would be very effective against the Grass-type Sceptile.
“Sceptile, Leaf Blade!”
“Use Ice Beam!”
Sceptile, known for its incredible speed, had the first strike. It moved nearly faster than the eye could see, and dodged Froslass’s icy blasts as it approached, finally leaping up to slash Froslass in the face with the leafy blades on its arms. Froslass shrieked and faded away.
“Astonish!”
Froslass rematerialized right behind Sceptile and shrieked again while gripping it with its frozen limbs. Sceptile was spooked and fell backwards.
“Shadow Ball!”
Froslass formed a ball of dark energy in its palms and chucked it at the stunned Sceptile, blasting it at point-blank range. Sceptile was thrown backwards, but landed on its feet unsteadily.
“Sceptile, use Night Slash!”
Camouflaging itself in the shadows, Sceptile zipped forward and slashed at Froslass again, scoring a direct hit. This time, however, Froslass held on to Sceptile and didn’t let it escape.
“Use Ice Fang!”
Froslass’s frozen jaws bit down hard on Sceptile, who roared and winced in pain. Froslass then tossed Sceptile to the ground.
“Finish it with Ice Beam!”
Before Sceptile could escape, Froslass blasted it with a beam of ice. When the attack was finished, Sceptile had a coating of ice around it and was virtually frozen solid.
“Return, Sceptile… go, Dragonite!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/478Froslass.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/149Dragonite.png
Dragonite was majestic and powerful, but it would face the same problems that Sceptile had against the Ice-type Froslass. The mysterious trainer laughed maliciously at Lance’s choice.
“Ha! I hope you don’t expect to beat me with that one!”
“Dragonite’s more powerful than you can imagine. Use Flamethrower!”
As its trainer was laughing, Froslass was caught off-guard by Dragonite’s attack. Dragonite bathed Froslass in a steady stream of flame, and already weak from the previous encounter, Froslass could not endure it. The ghostly Pokemon fell to the ground, melting and unconscious.
The smirk on the shadowy trainer’s face, however, only grew even wider, as the trainer spat out words dripping with sarcasm and vitriol.
“Oh, no! You defeated my worthless Pokemon! I am totally worried about it being injured! And now there’s no way for me to defeat you, because I definitely didn’t bring…”
The trainer threw out a second Pokeball.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/461Weavile.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/149Dragonite.png
“ANOTHER ICE POKEMON! HAHAHAHAHA!”
Weavile sharpened its claws menacingly and prepared to strike as Dragonite stood poised for defense, growling. Lance looked worried and annoyed at the same time.
“Night Slash!”
Weavile blended right into the darkness. Dragonite looked around itself, wary of an attack in any direction.
“Dragonite, Safeguard!”
A bubble of energy appeared around Dragonite, ready to hinder any attacks. When Weavile didn’t strike, however, Dragonite and Lance were becoming impatient.
“Enough of this nonsense! Use Shockwave!”
Dragonite loosed a field of electricity that spread outward all around it. As soon as it did so, however, it dropped the Safeguard. Weavile was struck by the attack, but kept on moving through the pain and damage, scoring a direct hit to Dragonite’s chest. Dragonite roared in pain.
“Yes… yes! Keep going!”
Stunned by the first slash, Dragonite could only continue to roar and flail about as Weavile continually disappeared and reappeared, launching itself out of the darkness to slash at Dragonite’s hide in a new place each time. Dragonite was soon scored with cuts and slashes all over its body.
“Now, Poison Jab!”
This time, Weavile coated its razor claws with deadly poison, and jabbed them at Dragonite, puncturing it and sending the poison coursing throughout its veins. Dragonite began to feel weaker and weaker.
“Ice Punch!”
Finally, Weavile delivered a flurry of punches to Dragonite’s face, charged with freezing power. The already-woozy Dragonite couldn’t take any more punishment, and fell backwards, landing on the ground with a heavy thud.
“No! Dragonite!”
“Now it’s your turn, Dragon master! Weavile, use Night Slash! AHAHAHA!”
Lance quickly returned his Pokemon and bolted in the opposite direction. There was no way he could possibly outrun a Weavile, however- especially not one he couldn’t even see. But then Lance pulled out his last resort- he threw a Flash HM straight at the ground, and it exploded with a bright white light, lighting up the arena temporarily. The trainer, not wanting to be seen, recalled the Weavile and escaped.
“Next time, you won’t be so lucky, Lance! HAHAHAHAHA!”
----------------------------------------------
Cyrus sat alone in the center of a small chamber, pondering his situation.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Cyrus.png
Cyrus liked to do a lot of pondering. Generally, when he wasn’t making plans to destroy the world and recreate it in his image, he was usually pondering. It was probably his second-most favorite thing to do. Tonight, he was pondering about when he would actually get a chance to battle. He wouldn’t have to ponder much longer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO70K3W-cPQ).
“GO RHYPERIOR!”
The opposing trainer’s visage was blocked by the massive Pokemon standing in front of it in the doorway. Cyrus calmly reached to his belt and tossed a Pokeball in front of him.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/464Rhyperior.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/466Electivire.png
Upon seeing the Electivire pop out of the Pokeball, Cyrus proceeded to ponder whether or not he had really made a good choice. Electivire’s most powerful attacks wouldn’t even affect Rhyperior.
“Use Brick Break.”
Electivire rushed forward and slugged Rhyperior in the chest. Rhyperior clearly looked as if it were in pain from the blow, but it barely budged an inch backwards, and it only seemed more ferocious.
“EARTHQUAKE!”
Rhyperior slammed the ground repeatedly, and the small chamber shook violently. A spike of earth shot up from underneath Electivire and sent it flying into the air until it smashed into the low ceiling. As Electivire dropped to the ground, the hidden trainer was already barking more orders.
“ROCK TOMB!”
Rhyperior appeared to do exactly the same thing as before, except this time, large rocks began falling from the ceiling and dropping on top of Electivire, preventing it from getting back to its feet and damaging it further.
“Hmm… Use Thunderbolt.”
From underneath the rocks, Electivire launched a wild electric attack, blasting away a path through the rocks. The electricity was drawn to Rhyperior’s horn, but the current passed harmlessly through it and into the ground.
“HAMMER ARM!”
Using its massive, rocky appendages as beating clubs, Rhyperior dealt a series of heavy blows to the weary Electivire, sending it flying into the wall with the final one. Electivire did not get back up afterwards.
“Hmm… go, Honchkrow.”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/464Rhyperior.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/430Honchkrow.png
As Honchkrow was sent out Cyrus pondered whether it might be another mismatch.
“EARTHQUAKE!”
Cyrus’s fears were instantly allayed as Honchkrow flew into the air, completely unaffected by Rhyperior’s tremors.
“I think we need a Nasty Plot…”
Honchkrow happily obliged, and landed itself on Rhyperior’s hulking back. Rhyperior flailed around wildly, but Honchkrow was in its blind spot, and Rhyperior’s stubby arms were unable to reach it. Honchkrow merely perched on its back and cawed a malicious laugh.
“Now… turn on the juice.”
Taking a moment to build up energy first, Honchkrow proceeded to emit a powerful Dark Pulse around it, devastating Rhyperior due to its proximity. Though Rhyperior tried to escape, Honchkrow continued the attack, until eventually Rhyperior collapsed from the pain.
The trainer quickly hid in the shadows of the doorway for the moment, then recalled Rhyperior and sent in another Pokemon that blocked the trainer from view.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/003Venusaur.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/430Honchkrow.png
The Venusaur was massive, dwarfing even the bulky Rhyperior. It roared angrily and stared at the Honchkrow with bloodshot eyes.
“Hmm… try the same thing, Honchkrow.”
Honchkrow landed itself on the huge flower on Venusaur’s back and prepared to strike with another Dark Pulse. Venusaur was not amused. It extended a thick vine from underneath the flower and gripped Honchkrow around its legs. Then, lifting Honchkrow as if it were weightless, it began to smash the frantic bird on the ground repeatedly. Venusaur only decided to release the Honchkrow when it was but a crumpled mess of black feathers.
“Return, Honchkrow…”
Cyrus scratched his chin and pondered for a few seconds before he realized he had only one Pokemon left to choose anyway. He tossed it in front of himself.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/003Venusaur.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/461Weavile.png
Weavile’s ice attacks would have an advantage against Venusaur. But then again, Honchkrow should’ve had a clear advantage, as a flying Pokemon. This Venusaur was so huge and powerful that it seemed to break all of the type match-up rules.
“Weavile, better try an Ice Punch.”
Weavile zipped up and slugged Venusaur right in the face. It roared with anger and pain, and bashed Weavile with its face, knocking the miniature devil on its back. Then bent forward and angled its massive flower towards Weavile and Cyrus. The flower began glowing with energy.
“Hmm… it appears to be using Solarbeam, but it can’t have seen sunlight for almost a week. Interesting…”
Cyrus decided it was prudent to cling to the sides of the small room and hope he wasn’t disintegrated by the Solarbeam. When Venusaur did launch the attack, it was massive and engulfed Weavile entirely, continuing straight through to strike the back wall. The blast actually caused the back wall to collapse, revealing a new tunnel.
Cyrus hurried down this tunnel before the hidden trainer had a chance to maneuver around Venusaur, which was practically blocking all of the doorway.
------------------------------------------
The next morning, all of the trainers gathered back in the arena as usual. Even Cyrus managed to find his way back through the tunnels. Only four, however, had Pokemon fit to battle, and the announcer noted this.
“Greetings, trainers! Unfortunately, it appears Lance and Cyrus both lost all of their Pokemon, so they’ll be unable to continue. That means our final four are: Blue, Sapphire, Archie, and Pearl! Voting will continue until there’s only one left. May the best trainer win!”

That nonsense last night sounded like you had the game in the bag, and then realized you didn't.

No, you acted like you didn't give a care about the town, and like you were flagrantly "I'm going to win the game you're all going to burn ahahhahahahahaha" GUILTY.
Then, you seemed to have a sudden realization that you could be shooting yourself in the foot, and decided to get serious. And it just feels so very, very fake.
You of all people should know that I often act stupid like that as an innocent. Look at the game you're hosting at CFC.
Defensively, Venusaur is below average, while both Honchkrow's and Weavile hit really hard; factor in their respective STAB moves (Brave Bird and Ice Punch) that hit Venusaur for super-effective damage, while Venusaur has nothing in it's repetoire that can down either of my Dark-types easily... well, I find myself asking questions.
I have to wonder what the point in me picking Pokémon was, especially if you're going to hand-wave type advantages away and have me utterly destroyed; it is immensely frustrating and has cheapened the whole experience of the game.

04-18-2011, 14:26
What exactly do I need to defend myself from?
While we're at it -- how would you like it done? Rare, medium, well-done, somewhere in between? Any sides? Beverage?
Before we get to that, though, I need you to tell me one thing. What would you like for the main course?
I would play the *I've only ever been town on the org* card, but that never goes over well.
Or the *You've never nailed me as scum, except when basing it off my behavior from before I was recruited to the mafia faction, I've been town all the other times you've brought out the big guns*, but I fear that would go over even worse than the previous card. Besides, I'm not even sure if that's completely true.
Frankly, I'm terrible at cards, Mr. Pizza Man.
I concur with ATPG, Zack was being terribly blatant in practically all but admitting that he was the guilty party, it was only out of a last minute fear that he dramatically switched his tone to:
I'll go to battle tomorrow, I guess. Although I would prefer mafia battling each other, maybe I can take one down.
A rather half-hearted attempt to try and backtrack *just in case*.
As evidenced by the hypocrisy here (didn't bother covering up his tracks properly, still fairly confident in victory): [And moreover, preferring that two relatively untouched players would battle, reducing the overall unusable pokemon count to oppose him]
Vote: Jolt
Why are you so obsessed with Seon? He only has one pokemon left.
Vote: Seon
To clarify Askthepizzaguy, you have moved on to me as your prime suspect because I acted silly (only mafia do that), right? And left Seon behind as a suspect, even though there is actually a legitimate reason to suspect him?
FoS: ATPG
If any remaining townie still has any doubts whatsoever, let the veil be removed from your eyes, Zack is one of the people who need to be removed, and I suspect Saregona was the other.
Vote: Zack
Let's end this, mafia scum.
Just have Pizza and Zack battle one another; there's no point sending Double A or Seon into the fray when they only have one Pokémon to use.
If you don't try to orchestrate this with the votes, then it'll end up that Zack battles whoever he chose to vote for, which is highly likely to be one of the two weakened roles; then, the only chance of winning is through Pizza surviving the night attack, which I wouldn't be too hopeful about since my own type-advantaged Pokémon were destroyed so easily. -_-
How to arrange it, though? There's a risk of Zack slipping through no matter what.
Two town votes for Pizza
1 for Zack
Zack can vote for Double A or Seon and have a 50-50 shot at not fighting.
Two town votes for Zack

I have no idea about Saregona, he was always a bit too quiet, but I can definetly see it being Zack with that contradictory voting patern. You can't say that you mistrust someone for voting Seon, then vote Seon for no reason the next day and then not only FoS someone, put supply a reason. It makes no sense.
The reason I haven't voted yet is because I keep editing my posts. Derp.

04-18-2011, 16:08
Wait scratch that, I didn't count the votes, you need to follow Renata's advice, it seems like a 50/50 chance of Zack fighting is unavoidable, as if you vote Zack he will be able to pick his opponent.
Sigh.
You know, I can win right here, right now just by staying silent. But winning with this kind of OP role would always stick in my conscience.
I have stolen all of your pokemons, and I have used it to snipe you off at night one by one.
But for me as a trainer...It is the truth that I do have only one pokemon left.
So let us play a tiny little game here.
Unvote: Vote Double A
Now, I know that Double A has the similiar ability as I did, and that he would survive a battle with my last pokemon.
But with 3 of you remaining, I can just send out 6 pokemon to make certain that nobody will have enough power to challenge me.
But of course, if I face someone like, say, Zack or Pizzaguy, I would lose.
Exciting, isn't it?
I think fitting music is necessary here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg9XPcPKYAQ)
I will be awaiting, townies. Who shall be the lucky one who survives?
And I will guarentee this...
I can most definitely be defeated this turn.
Hahaha....sorry for killing you at such an early time, Renata, but at that moment with Jolt chewing me apart, I was desperate to get as many kills as possible :'(.
Oh well, time to bring the curtains of little play to a close, and what play is complete without its climax?

04-18-2011, 18:53
So everyone vote for Seon, then. Remember if all but one person votes that person, they go bye-bye without a duel.
Lynch Seon or ATPG this turn please.
Double A
04-18-2011, 19:20
auto's right.
As a last resort, if the trainer is determined to be playing unfairly, a unanimous vote on that trainer (excluding the trainer’s own vote) will remove that trainer from the competition without a battle.
But I wonder... what if Zack and Seon are partners? Voting Seon out would mean Zack is still free to do stuff.
And yeah, I do have a backup. I thought the case on Seon for only that was BS since it was basically just that ability, but now that he kind of just said he was scum, I don't really know why I would be defending him anymore.
autolycus
04-18-2011, 20:11
Well, if they're both scum, then zack won't vote for Seon, and there will be a battle, and the other two of you can't dictate the matchup. In short, you're in trouble. But, quoting someone famous, but I don't remember who, "If you need something to be true in order to win, then assume it to be true and proceed based on that assumption. Because if you're wrong, you can't win either way."
People should probably listen to Auto. I've been so lost this game it's not even funny.
But winning with this kind of OP role would always stick in my conscience.
It takes a very noble player to admit this, but I'm really glad that you did; you and I both know that Venusaur would be destroyed by Honchkrow or Weavile. :P
Double A
04-18-2011, 21:09
If I win or lose, I'll be satisfied because I figured out a game mechanic. :smug:
goddamnit! well played good sir.
Well played? If the town had done what I had called for, he'd be dead since Day 3 or so.
This was more badly played by the town than otherwise (No offense Seon.)

Askthepizzaguy
04-18-2011, 22:21
Then I'll just have to defeat Seon in a flawless victoly, and move on to Zack without even switching pokeman.
Just kill me now. I'm sick of mafia, honestly.
Like what?
Please answer this.
If you had given more reasoning than "He's got a fourth Pokemon! Get him!" I might have listened.
Anyway, unvote, vote: Seon
Oh, but I did. Having one more pokemon than anyone else IS something to be suspicious of! You'll find plenty of quite convincing posts on my rationale for sticking on him on the very day I was voted to battle (Although, I believe that was pretty much because of the low participation that day)
You even find ATPG bailing on a couple of my questions when he was disputing my focus on Seon.
Your arrogance is endearing.
Your arrogance is endearing.
Weren't you the one who voted for me, asking why I was so fixated on Seon?
For the record, I don't think you are Mafia. I believe ATPG is the second mafioso
Let's see... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnTwpWn-7IM) you win, and you become the strongest trainer who had ever lived.
I win, and you all release your pokemon into the wild.
Let's begin this duel :duel:
Weren't you the one who voted for me, asking why I was so fixated on Seon?
For the record, I don't think you are Mafia. I believe ATPG is the second mafioso
Nah, it was me, though I was dead at the time. Sorry you're feeling so discouraged, Zack. :(
It takes a very noble player to admit this, but I'm really glad that you did; you and I both know that Venusaur would be destroyed by Honchkrow or Weavile. :P
Secura, you'll have to wait for the end of the game when I reveal how all of the mechanics of the game work. Though it may seem unfair now, you'll find that the same rules applied everywhere in the game. And there is a reason why that Venusaur was so overwhelmingly powerful...
Round has ended.
Tally:
Seon - 2 (Zack, Double A)
Askthepizzaguy - 2 (ATPG, Seon)
This will be a duel between Seon and Askthepizzaguy. Stand by for the write-up.
Day 7
The four remaining trainers were all highly suspicious of each other that day. They knew that the mysterious trainer who had been attacking them at night was amongst them, but they still did not know who it was, or how it was even possible to have that many Pokemon at one’s disposal. They had suspected, due to the hints that Lance dropped, that it had something to do with their own Pokemon… but the mystery was slow in its unraveling.
The competitors were uneasy in deciding who would be the participants in the duel. At one point it was questioned whether there should even be a duel, as Pearl had broken the rules by bringing a fourth Pokemon, and the trainers had suddenly remembered that it was stated all rulebreakers should be disqualified by a unanimous vote. Eventually, however, they came to a decision. Pearl’s last Pokemon would be put to the test against a brave trainer who volunteered to battle against it. When all the votes were submitted, the announcer spoke up.
“Greetings, trainers, to the semifinal round of the Pokemon League World Championship Tournament! Today, it has been decided that the competitors for the duel will be: Pearl, the recent Champion of the Sinnoh region, and Sapphire, a powerful master trainer from the Hoenn region! Pearl, please proceed to the red corner, while Sapphire goes to the blue corner.”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Pearl-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Sapphire-1.png
The two trainers took their spots. Sapphire looked slightly nervous, but was ultimately ready for anything. Pearl was calm and serene… and almost disturbingly so. As she stood there, alone, the other trainers began to get a sense that something was off (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMkIvjxONbU).
“All right, Pearl, let’s see that last Pokemon of yours!”
At the sound of Sapphire’s voice, Pearl’s face lit up, and she responded eagerly.
“Oh, you want to see it? My last Pokemon?”
“Err… yeah, that’s what I just said.”
Pearl began to stifle an uncontrollable giggling that was bubbling up from within her.
“Hehehe… are you SURE?”
“Let’s go, Pearl! I’m ready!”
The stifling giggling turned into a full-blown laughing fit. Pearl was unable to control herself as she laughed, although adorably, like a mad woman. Her eyes became dilated and she held her posture at odd angles. It was almost as if she was possessed, and she was really starting to creep out all of the other trainers.
“Well… ok then! Here we go!”
Finally, Pearl held out her last Pokeball. As it popped open, all of the trainers waited in anticipation to see what would leap out. And then… nothing. The Pokeball was empty all along. Pearl resumed her giggling, albeit muted. While the other trainers were shocked, Sapphire was pretty annoyed as well.
“Is this some sort of joke?”
“I assure you, nobody is laughing here except for my deranged little pet.”
That was, indisputably, the announcer’s voice, but it had taken a much more sinister tone. Suddenly, the arena lights dimmed slightly as a light flashed on the battlefield. A strange Pokemon was standing where the light had flashed.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png
“I am the opponent you were looking for, though oddly enough, this time it is Pokemon who controls trainer.”
“What are you? How are you talking to me?”
“I am Mewtwo. I am the world’s greatest Pokemon master. Since I have no vocal chords with which to speak… I communicate telepathically. And now, it is time for me to destroy you!”
Mewtwo began glowing with Psychic power. Frantically, Sapphire sent out a Pokemon to defend herself.
“Go, Glaceon!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/471Glaceon.png
“So, this creature has been so brainwashed into your slave that it is willing to die for you? Very well, disgusting human, I will grant your wish!”
“What? No! Glaceon is my friend!”
“Not for much longer, it isn’t.”
With a flick of its wrist, Mewtwo used Psychic force to fling Glaceon back several yards, just as a gesture of its power. It continued to remain floating in the same place, unmoving.
“Glaceon, use Ice Beam!”
Glaceon quickly got to its feet and did as told, firing a beam of supercooled air and water vapor at Mewtwo. Unimpressed and unceremonious, Mewtwo held up a Psychic barrier, which it used to Protect itself from the Ice Beam. The attack bounced harmlessly off of the barrier.
“I’m warning you. Recall your Glaceon or you will regret it.”
“I’m not just gonna give up like that!”
“Have it your way, then.”
Mewtwo held out its arm, and its eyes pulsed with Psychic power (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykH5ZR8j0p8). Glaceon was lifted up into the air, and followed the movement of Mewtwo’s outstretched paw. Mewtwo flicked its wrist upwards, and Glaceon flew up and smashed into the ceiling. Then Mewtwo moved it paw back down, and Glaceon crashed devastatingly into the floor.
“No! Glaceon!”
But Mewtwo was not done yet. It lifted Glaceon into the air again, and this time held it in place. Mewtwo suddenly clenched its paw into a fist-like gesture, bringing its three digits together, and Glaceon crumpled up into a ball. All who looked on in horror could hear several of Glaceon’s bones crunch and snap as it yelped in pain, crushed inside of a Psychic wall. Mewtwo telekinetically tossed the heap of mangled blue fur at Sapphire’s feet. The brave trainer fought back tears as she returned the Pokemon.
“How could you do that to him?? You’re a monster!”
“I gave you fair warning, fool. It was you who willingly consigned it to that fate. Now, admit defeat.”
“Never! I’m going to make you pay for that! Go, Ludicolo!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/272Ludicolo.png
Sapphire’s Ludicolo did not look jolly at all. It determinedly struck a fighting stance opposite Mewtwo, who mere stared at it unblinkingly.
“Use Energy Ball!”
Ludicolo created a ball of green energy in its hands and hurled it at Mewtwo. Barely moving an inch, Mewtwo held up its protective barrier again and the Energy Ball bounced off of it.
“Try Nature Power!”
Ludicolo danced a quick jig, summoning up the power of nature. This time, Mewtwo had no idea what was going to happen, so it watched closely. All of a sudden, the ground rumbled with a tremor. A spike of earth shot up from underneath Mewtwo, striking it and catching it off-guard. The tremor also caused a pile of rocks to fall from the ceiling, burying Mewtwo underneath.
The arena was silent for a few seconds, and then the rocks were shattered and sent flying in all directions. Mewtwo stood in the same spot, glowing with Psychic energy, and it looked mad.
“Hydro Pump!”
Ludicolo shot a massive jet of water from its mouth at Mewtwo. This time, Mewtwo held up a paw, and bent the stream of water back around, causing it to strike Ludicolo in the face, knocking it backwards.
“Congratulations. You have succeeded in making me annoyed. Now reap your rewards.”
Mewtwo shot a Thunderbolt from its fingertips, electrocuting Ludicolo. Then it created a Shadow Ball in its paws and threw that at Ludicolo, too, damaging it severely. When it was done, Mewtwo created an inferno of flame around Ludicolo and engulfed it in a Fire Blast. Ludicolo shrieked, but it could not move through the wall of flame, and Mewtwo made no effort to put it out.
Eventually, the flames died out, and Ludicolo was revealed behind them, burnt to a crisp.
“Ludicolo… no…”
In a fit of anger, Sapphire returned her scorched Pokemon and threw out her last Pokeball, ready to fight to the end.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/308Medicham.png
“Go, Medicham! Use High Jump Kick!”
Medicham rushed forward and leapt high into the air. When it came landing back down, it was centered over Mewtwo’s face with its powerful legs ready to strike.
“You must be joking.”
Mewtwo stopped Medicham from any movement in mid-air, and levitated itself upwards so they saw eye to eye. Then it held a paw up to Medicham’s face, and blasted it with a Shadow Ball right there. Mewtwo assisted Medicham’s descent with its Psychic power, causing it to crash into the ground with a small crater-hole.
“Medicham! Get up!”
Somehow, Medicham managed to struggle back to its feet. The incredulous Mewtwo dropped to the ground and addressed the Pokemon directly.
“Why do you submit yourself to this? Leave on your feet, while you still have a chance.”
Medicham responded with a Mega Punch to Mewtwo’s face, catching it off-guard. The quickly-enraged Mewtwo, however, launched a pulse of Psychic energy around it, sending Medicham flying backwards and landing heavy on the ground in front of Sapphire.
“I would kill you right here, Sapphire, but I am planning to get rid of all seventeen of you at once. You have been a fool to stand against me, yet your bravery knows no bounds, it seems. Speaking of fools, that reminds me…”
Mewtwo snapped two digits, and suddenly Pearl, who had been standing in place and drooling, fell unconscious and struck the ground.
“I don’t need this thing any more. All of you, leave this arena at once! If you have any Pokemon left to oppose me tomorrow, perhaps you will be in luck. But divided, you will all fall as this one has. You are weak, and simple minded. And soon you will all be dead.”

Well, it all comes down to if someone dies tonight. If not, Mewtwo loses by disqualification, if so, we all die.
I just send Red's last two pokemon on a hapless trainer.
Think he can survive it?
Good game, no matter how this fiasco turns out :bow:. I look forward to the time of after game commentary.
I still have no idea what's been going on behind the scenes.
Night 7
As soon as Mewtwo gave the command, all of the trainers scattered into the depths of Cerulean Cave as quickly as possible, eager to escape from the terrifying Pokemon.
Blue waited in a large room where many rocky stalagmites rose out of the ground, creating a tricky, uneven arena. When Mewtwo was prepared, it found Blue’s position with its mind and teleported into the room. It no longer had the guise of Pearl, the mystery trainer, to hide behind, but it no longer seemed to care.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Blue.png
Without waiting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMPvoVAX2XU) for an invitation, Blue sent out his Pokemon. Mewtwo, interestingly, followed suit.
“Go, Exeggutor!”
“I choose… Skarmory!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/227Skarmory.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/103Exeggutor.png
Neither Exeggutor’s Psychic abilities nor its Grass-type attacks would be able to truly break through Skarmory’s tough, Steel feathers. Mewtwo had chosen well.
“Exeggutor! Don’t hold back! Use Psychic!”
Exeggutor’s eyes glowed with Psychic power, and it lifted Skarmory into the air before tossing it sideways into a stalagmite wall. Skarmory tumbled to the ground, shaken up but not terribly injured.
“Don’t let it get back up! Wood Hammer!”
Exeggutor charged head-first straight into the stumbling Skarmory. It bashed Skarmory with its heavy trunk, knocking it backwards once again.
“Enough of this nonsense. Skarmory, take to the skies.”
Following Mewtwo’s command, Skarmory took a spare moment to spread its wings and fly into the air. It was agile enough to dodge around stalagmites and stalactites as it flew, giving it an advantage of maneuverability over Exeggutor.
“Use Leaf Storm!”
Exeggutor launched a storm of razor leaves at Skarmory, which it tried to dodge. Even the ones that Skarmory could not fly around, however, merely bounced off of its steel coating.
“Steel Wing!”
Skarmory swooped low and struck Exeggutor with its steel-tipped wings, which were as sharp as razor blades. Exeggutor stumbled backwards and groaned in pain.
“Aerial Ace!”
Skarmory shot up into the air, then performed a loop and a corkscrew and dove straight down at Exeggutor. It struck Exeggutor with a devastating beak attack, knocking it to the ground. Skarmory stood triumphantly over Exeggutor’s unconscious body.
“No! Exeggutor!”
Blue returned his Pokemon, and brought another one from inside his coat pocket.
“You thought you were clever when you made Pearl say she had an extra Pokemon… but I actually brought a spare, just in case something like this happened! Go, Umbreon!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/227Skarmory.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/197Umbreon.png
Umbreon stood patiently, defending Blue and awaiting an attack. Skarmory screeched and obliged it.
“Steel Wing!”
Umbreon jumped high into the air to dodge Skarmory’s running charge, and landed with a glancing blow on the bird’s back before returning to the ground.
“Confuse Ray!”
Umbreon looked deep into Skarmory’s eyes, and the piercing stare confused it. Skarmory began to see illusory red eyes staring all around it, and didn’t know which direction to strike in.
“Faint Attack!”
Umbreon leapt out of the shadows and tackled Skarmory, knocking it around. Skarmory was still confused, and wound up tripping over itself and falling to the ground. It got back up, unsteadily.
“Idiot Pokemon! Slash behind you!”
Skarmory trusted its safety to Mewtwo, and whipped around with its razor-sharp wings to score a nasty gash on Umbreon’s side. Now Skarmory saw where the real Umbreon was, and snapped out of confusion.
“X-Scissor!”
Skarmory now slashed at Umbreon with both of its wings in an outward crossing motion. Umbreon was struck directly by the attack and knocked to the ground.
“Moonlight, Umbreon!”
Umbreon tried to regain health with lunar energy, but being in a cave there was no moon in sight. It couldn’t restore itself, which had been a key strategy that Blue and his Umbreon used in the past.
“Finish it! Steel Wing!”
With one more bash from Skarmory’s wings, Umbreon was knocked unconscious. Blue returned the Pokemon. He was now completely defenseless.
“I’ll take care of you later. Now I have to deal with your friend…”
Mewtwo returned Skarmory to its ball and teleported out of the room.
----------------------------------------------
Archie was in the cavern with the underground lake. Ruby had showed him the room and helped him set up a defense before leaving to take shelter. Archie waited on the island in the center, Pokeball at the ready. He waited and waited, and it seemed like no one would challenge him, but finally he saw the flash of light and the teleported figure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch_puCeHPYk).
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Archie-1.png
“Venusaur, I choose you!”
“YARR! Go, Glalie!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/003Venusaur.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/362Glalie.png
Glalie held the type advantage, but this Venusaur was big, mean, and angry. It stood at the edge of the lake and thrust several vines at Glalie, who dodged them while it hovered over the surface.
“Glalie, Ice Beam!”
Glalie did as told and shot a beam of supercooled water vapor at Venusaur. The blast struck the Pokemon hard on its flower, freezing it solid. Venusaur roared in pain, but it was not done fighting yet.
“Sludge Bomb.”
Venusaur belched up a huge ball of sludge, and spat it at Glalie, scoring a direct hit. The sludge exploded all over Glalie, coating it in poison. The poison had already seeped in before Glalie could wash itself off in the lake. Archie realized that his Glalie would not be able to hold on much longer.
“Ice Fang, Glalie! And hold on tight!”
Glalie hovered over to Venusaur as fast as it could and bit down on Venusaur’s face. Venusaur flailed around in rage and pain, but could not dislodge Glalie. Glalie held on, but the poison was clearly sapping at its strength.
“Explosion, now!”
Glalie glowed with a bright, white light and exploded, right in Venusaur’s face. The massive creature roared with pain. It was barely able to keep itself up or defend itself.
“Go, Mightyena!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/003Venusaur.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/262Mightyena-1.png
“Giga Impact!”
Mewtwo merely watched coldly as Mightyena took a running start, swam quickly across the lake, leaped into the air, and slammed down hard on the stunned Venusaur. The final blow caused Venusaur to collapse, and Mewtwo returned it silently.
“And now… go, Blastoise!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/009Blastoise.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/262Mightyena-1.png
This Blastoise was almost as large as the mammoth Venusaur that came before it. Its shell looked to be tougher than stone, and shone brilliantly in spite of the numerous scratches and chips on it. Blastoise’s eyes were filled with cold rage, and there was a dark scar that traversed one of them.
“Hydro Cannon.”
Two pieces of shell on Blastoise’s shoulders opened up to reveal large cannons. Blastoise fired twin torrents of water from these cannons, blasting Mightyena with them and sending it into the lake. Mightyena was overwhelmed by the attack and struggled to stay afloat in the water. By the time it had finally regained its balance, however, Blastoise was following it into the lake.
“Mightyena, hang in there! Thunder Fang!”
The tenacious Mightyena swam towards Blastoise and bit down hard on its arm. Blastoise was suddenly flooded with electric current, and it roared with anger. The two Pokemon sunk under the surface and began an underwater duel.
“Use Brick Break!”
Using its other fist, Blastoise slugged Mightyena in the side. The canine Pokemon yelped and let go, quickly swimming up to the surface for air. Blastoise resurfaced right underneath it, pushing it up into the air and back onto land. From the lake, Blastoise fired another Hydro Cannon at Mightyena, slamming it up against the cave wall with sheer force. When it was done, Mightyena did not get back up.
“Return, Mightyena…”
Archie looked grimly at the Blastoise and at his last Pokeball. He knew the chances were poor, but he was determined to try anyway. He threw the final Pokeball into the lake, releasing it into the water.
“Go, Sharpedo!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/009Blastoise.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/319Sharpedo.png
Sharpedo began swimming through the water at high speed. Blastoise, huge and bulky, could not match it in speed. Sharpedo always swam just out of Blastoise’s reach, so that it could avoid any potential attack.
“Use Hydro Cannon!”
Blastoise fired its cannons again, but since both Pokemon were already underwater, there was little effect. Sharpedo was pushed away from Blastoise until it managed to swim out of the current created by the Hydro Cannon.
“Ice Beam!”
This time, Blastoise shot ice from its cannons. Sharpedo took care to dodge around the blast, all the while circling Blastoise, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
“Aqua Jet!”
When Blastoise stopped firing, it took a moment to recover, and all of a sudden Sharpedo shot forward through the water, striking Blastoise in the face and chest. It was a heavy blow, and Blastoise was stunned by it, even if not seriously harmed.
“Crunch!”
Sharpedo now tore away at Blastoise with its rows and rows of razor-sharp teeth. It bit at Blastoise’s limbs, face, and even its shell, managing to score a few new nicks and cracks in some places. Blastoise was devastated by the attack, and only by flailing about did it manage to get Sharpedo away from it.
“Blastoise, finish it already! Brick Break!”
Blastoise tried to strike at Sharpedo with its fists, but Sharpedo was fast enough to dodge around them and swim away.
“YARR! Now, Sharpedo! Use Aqua Jet to propel yourself into Skull Bash!”
Sharpedo shot forward through the water and aimed straight for Blastoise. It began to spin like a torpedo to build up momentum, and when it was close enough, it gave one extra burst of speed, smashing itself into Blastoise. The force of the blow knocked Blastoise out cold, and it rose to the surface of the water. Mewtwo was shocked.
“How is this possible? Worthless Pokemon! Go, Typhlosion!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/157Typhlosion-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/319Sharpedo.png
Typhlosion stood at the edge of the lake, looking significantly less threatening in a room filled with water. Archie chuckled to himself before ordering his Sharpedo.
“Hydro Pump!”
Sharpedo unleashed a powerful jet of water from its mouth, dousing Typhlosion and blasting it against the wall of the cave. After a couple more blasts for good measure, Typhlosion was finished. By the time it fell, Mewtwo had regained its composure.
“That Sharpedo… it is a worthy foe. I have decided to let you live for today, Archie. Return tomorrow, and I will test your true power…”

Thats why I love him.
Final Phase
At dawn, it had been exactly one week since the seventeen trainers first set foot inside Cerulean Cave. Now, there was only one trainer left who was still able to battle. Against him and the freedom of all of the trainers stood the legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo, determined to crush the humans and bring Pokemon to dominance once again.
The seventeen trainers made their way back to Mewtwo’s arena for the final showdown. Sixteen of them would be watching, hoping for their lives: Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Lance, Nurse Joy, Giovanni, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Maxie, Steven, Diamond, Cynthia, Cyrus, and even Pearl looked on silently (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMkIvjxONbU).
Archie, the leader of Team Aqua and the last trainer remaining, stood at one end of the battlefield, opposite Mewtwo.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Archie-1.png
Before the battle was to begin, Mewtwo spoke.
“Greetings, trainers. Today, I have brought you here to witness my rise to power. The only one standing left in my way is this fool and his Sharpedo.”
“YARR! Are ye calling Archie, leader of Team Aqua, a fool?”
“A brave fool, but a fool nonetheless. I promise you a fair battle. If you can defeat me, then I let you and your disgusting human friends leave alive. If not… I’ll leave that to your puny imagination.”
Many of the trainers winced in hearing what they had already feared to be true. Mewtwo continued.
“Anyway, since your only Pokemon is a Sharpedo, it would hardly be fair for me to fight you on a battlefield of only dry ground. I had this component of the arena installed the whole time, but it was never actually needed for a previous duel.”
Suddenly, the arena and the entire cave began shaking. The rectangular battlefield sank down into the floor, revealing that said floor was only several meters thick over a giant, gaping chasm. The battlefield disappeared from view, and in its place, a new battlefield appeared, slowly rising up until it clicked into place with the rest of the floor. This new battlefield was a deep pool of water, with about ten flat pillars and floating platforms strewn across it symmetrically.
“On this field, both land and water-based Pokemon should perform equally well. I encourage you to test your Sharpedo’s strength against me.”
With that, Mewtwo teleported itself to the central platform, where it stood awaiting the battle. Archie reached for his belt, grabbed a Pokeball, and threw it into the water (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCIqh48mFdE).
“Go, Sharpedo!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/319Sharpedo.png
Sharpedo swam through the water menacingly, with only its dorsal fin poking up above the surface. Though it had superior mobility, it could not directly attack Mewtwo without moving out of the water; the same, however, was true for Mewtwo on land.
“Crunch!”
Suddenly, Sharpedo leaped out of the water towards Mewtwo, jaws outstretched and ready to take a bite out of it. Mewtwo teleported to another platform just before it was hit.
“If you think I’m going to be that easy to defeat, you are sorely mistaken… just because my Psychic attacks will have no effect does not mean I cannot destroy you!”
Mewtwo generated electricity in its palms and launched a Thunderbolt directly into the pool below it. The powerful electric current quickly dissipated throughout the entire pool, but it was still strong enough to give Sharpedo a jolt on the other end of the battlefield.
“Sharpedo! Use Hydro Pump! Knock that landlubber overboard!”
Sharpedo launched a powerful jet of water from its mouth, aimed at Mewtwo. Mewtwo held up a Psychic shield to Protect itself, and the water was deflected harmlessly. Mewtwo retaliated by throwing a Shadow Ball at Sharpedo, who had broken the surface to attack and was vulnerable. Sharpedo grunted and dived back underwater after taking the hit.
“Alright Sharpedo! Move quietly so he can’t perceive yer location!”
Sharpedo sank to the bottom of the pool, where it was invisible through the dark water.
“That won’t work, fool! I’ll just sense its position with my… oh.”
As Sharpedo was surrounded by a dark aura, Mewtwo couldn’t discern where it was using Psychic power. It was effectively blind as long as Sharpedo was at the bottom of the pool.
“Now get in position… Aqua Jet!”
Sharpedo shot out of the water at high speed, heading straight for Mewtwo’s back. Though Mewtwo was able to sense the attack and turn around, blocking most of the damage, it was still knocked off guard and disoriented. Sharpedo landed back in the pool.
“Hydro Pump!”
Sharpedo spewed water at Mewtwo again, and this time it was not ready to deflect the attack. The sheer force of the torrential blast forced Mewtwo off of the platform and into the water.
“YARR! Now yer sharkbait! Use Crunch, Sharpedo!”
No sooner had Mewtwo touched the water than Sharpedo was upon it, ripping and tearing with its terrible, razor-sharp teeth. It inflicted several powerful blows, but Mewtwo found itself able to function adequately underwater, and it grabbed hold of Sharpedo and hurled it into a pillar in a successful Counter-attack. Then it blasted Sharpedo with a Thunderbolt before teleporting itself back to a platform.
“I’ll make you pay for that humiliation, fool!”
“We’ll see about that! Sharpedo, use Aqua Jet!”
Sharpedo launched itself out of the water again. This time, however, Mewtwo was ready. It quickly blasted Sharpedo with an Aura Sphere, sending it careening backwards. Sharpedo landed on another platform and flailed about, trying to get back in the water.
“My turn.”
Mewtwo teleported itself next to Sharpedo, then delivered a Mega Kick that sent it flying into the air. While it was still airborne, Mewtwo shot an Ice Beam at it, encasing it in ice. Then Mewtwo electrocuted it with one hand and threw another Aura Sphere with the other, shattering the ice and sending Sharpedo back down into the pool. Sharpedo did not resurface for several seconds.
“Sharpedo, Hydro Pump!”
Sharpedo did not immediately resurface to attack. Instead, when it did, it was belly-up, unconscious. Immediately disheartened, Archie returned the Pokemon to its ball. Mewtwo turned its attention to the trainer, with an aura exuding arrogance and hatred.
“I told you: I am the ultimate Pokemon!”
“Aye. I believe you.”
Archie then had a devious thought.
“Hey, matey, what say you and me join forces, eh? Together, we could rule the high seas, and turn all of the land into ocean, too! Then all would learn to respect the power of Team Aqua and the ocean. And ye would be the reason fer all of it!”
Mewtwo looked flatly at Archie.
“That’s a terrible idea, you idiot. If all of the world were covered by sea, we would all DROWN.”
As Archie contemplated the implications of a world full of ocean, he suddenly gasped at that realization.
“MY LIFE IS A LIE!”
“And that’s besides the fact that I would never join forces with filthy humans, anyway.”
“I’LL MAKE YE MINE, MEWTWO!”
Archie reached into his pocket and held up what he revealed to be a Master Ball. With a wild look in his eyes, he threatened to throw it at Mewtwo.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/MasterBall.png
“I don’t think so!”
Mewtwo flicked his wrist, and a Psychic force snapped Archie’s. The ball dropped harmlessly to the ground, and Archie clutched his wrist in pain. Just to be sure, Mewtwo overloaded the Master Ball with Psychic force, causing it to explode.
“It is just as I expected. Even now, with your lives in jeopardy, you pathetic humans cannot stop squabbling with each other. This fool was only out for his own personal gains. Had he succeeded in capturing me, he still would have killed the rest of you. Perhaps years of fighting each other with Pokemon have rotted all of your minds.”
“But why, Mewtwo? Why did ye want to win our tournament so badly?”
Mewtwo’s booming laughter hurt the minds of all those he projected it into.
“Win the tournament? What tournament? This was all a farce! The Pokemon World Championship Tournament is my own invention, designed to draw the most powerful trainers here, alone, with no contact to the outside world.”
The seventeen trainers listened in horror as Mewtwo explained (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tL1p9YbGk).
“Perhaps I owe you an explanation. I called you all here with anonymous letters, telling you to bring six Pokemon each. The first among you to arrive-”
Mewtwo gestured to Pearl.
“-became my mindslave, my eyes and ears among the rest of you. Then, when you reached the arena, I made you all deposit three of them into those machines. One of you only deposited two-”
Mewtwo glared at Blue.
“-but those Pokemon became the pool that I’ve been using to battle you for the past week. I made you all battle each other until your Pokemon were weak and fainted, despite the fact that one of you tried to heal them afterwards.”
Mewtwo gestured at Nurse Joy, who had tears streaming down her face.
“I used your own Pokemon against you! And some of them, though I didn’t know it at first, happened to be incredibly powerful.”
Mewtwo gestured to Red, who stared back with silent, burning hatred.
“I even provided you with a suggestion of how you might defeat me. As powerful as I am, judging by the strength of that Sharpedo, I could not hold all of you back at once. As a taunt, I told you that a unanimous vote could disqualify any rulebreakers- yet when my mindslave broke the rules, only one of you spoke out against it!”
Mewtwo now looked at Emerald, who had continued to be suspicious of Pearl.
“But you pathetic humans have disappointed me, and now it is too late. Did you hope that a miracle would occur without you working towards it together? I will show you how false that hope was.”
Mewtwo’s eyes began glowing with Psychic energy, and it levitated itself forward menacingly.
“At long last, I will right all of the wrongs humans have committed on Pokemon for centuries! Should I kill all of you right now? Or perhaps I will stuff you all in humiliating Human-Balls and call you out whenever I want to play! The choices are staggering… but one thing is for certain. With all of you gone, when I leave this cave, I will be the undisputed ruler of this world! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Mewtwo’s entire body glowed brightly with power. It moved forward, poised to strike. In the depths of the dark, dangerous Cerulean Cave, nobody could hear the screams of the trainers.
VICTORY: MEWTWO!

Well played Seon. Congratulations. :wink:
The game was pretty enjoyable. I did eagerly await to read the pokemon battles and to see how the game unfolded. It is a game which really needs a sequel. :)

Thanks for hosting chaotix!
Night 0.
Oh cool! A solo mafia role!
I mean, **** A SOLO MAFIA ROLE!!!! THAT MEANS NOBODY TO DISCUSS PLANS WITH! I AM TOTALLY GONNA DIE Oh hey what's this, 3 attacks per night? Needs to be lynched unanimously to lose? A cover role?! Awesooooome.
I could have chosen better pokemons to use in my cover role, but then again I was quite powerful enough to start with.
That night, I received a list of usable pokemons from Chaotix, which amounted to a grand total of 50. I could choose 6 of them every night to attack up to 3 different trainers.
Day 1
Just your usual day 1 craziness. During this time, I finalized the strategy to use. Because I required a unanimous lynch to lose, even the slightest amount of doubt in my favor would work to my gain.
Therefore, I selected a few of the people in the player list whom I would work to be close with. Namely, those players were Secura, Renata, and ATPG.
Because I played with those people often and discussed possible suspects, I happened to know what the three people sought to gain their suspects. Renata thinks me suspiscious because I don't talk too much? Then I will start talking alot. Secura? Well, try talking to her about pokemon in general.
ATPG was a tough nut to seed doubt on. But in the end, perhaps because this was a solo mafia game, I was able to evade grabbing his attention.
Night 1
For this night, I decided that I should send out only normal type pokemon as scouts. I had no idea as to the identities of the trainers except Gold, and I believed it to be dishonorable to kill Renata on Night 1.
As expected, the normal types got slaughtered.
Day 2.
The OMGUS was a calculated move on my behalf. It was a gambit, I counted on the probability that people like Renata and ATPG, both of whom I knew subscribed to the idea of "Scummy, but not too scummy enough to be a scum," and that "A is never equal to A," to begin to doubt that I could possibly be a mafia.
I knew that at least one of the three would make it to be the defacto leader of the Town, and once done so, my chance of victory would increase enormously.
The plan did self-destruct when I got lynched that day, but I think I won out in the long run :laugh:
Interesting bit was that I didn't need to act surprised when I wasn't revealed as Mewtwo. I had told Secura and ATPG that I asked Chaotix, and that he told me that I had lost the duel.
My idea at that point was to act all down and sad about it to ATPG and Secura and stylishly laugh when the results came out and I was revealed as Mewtwo.
Of course, my cover role survived and I didn't have to do that. At that point, I made up some BS about having a secret fourth pokemon. Also at that moment, I made Double A, who I later learned to have similiar ability as I claimed to have, doubt that I was guilty.
But the writeup did include some hints about Pearl's being mindcontrolled.
[ A giddy, adorable smile cracked across her face.
“Well, actually… I did bring one more Pokemon with me, just in case. I thought it might be useful with all these attacks going on at night and everything! So, it’s really only for my own protection, but I guess if you wanted to battle me again… that would be ok with me!”
The rest of the trainers were dumbfounded as she giggled and quickly left the arena.
Does that sound like what Dawn from the anime would have done?
And also... if you had read the rules as given in the letter in the OP, it would have said that an unanimous vote would be be necessary to forcibly remove a cheating player from the competition.
No prize for guessing who that letter was referring to :p.
Night 2
Time to press the damn panic button.
Firstly, I targetted Renata, mostly because I needed to wreck up on my kill count and I knew most of her pokemons. Secondly, I targetted Robbiecon, because I thought she would be a weak target. Thirdly, I targetted autolycus whom I knew as the Magma Team Leader from my previous assault.
From the Renata attack, I learned of the existence of Superpokemon of Red. That Charizard truly was ridiculous.
Day 3
Day 3 was the time I started tightrope walking. It seemed my ploy from the previous day worked, because none of the players I targetted to sow doubt on was committed to seeing me killed.
Jolt, however, was hounding me all the time. It was only by the luck of the draw that I was able to keep my cover role hidden.
I was, admittedly, shocked when B_ray threatened to shake apart the fragile balance of votes I had set up.
And my joy was complete when I saw ATPG rise up to my defense by voting on B_Ray. Thusly, I lived to see another day.
Night 3
Chimpyang was targetted solely because i knew what his pokemons were. I decided that autolycus needed to go, and targetted his last pokemon with Magnezone. Renata was finished off as well.
Chimpyang...surprised me with his Tentacruel of DOOM. Chaotix assured me that it was not a supertentacruel or anything, but it might as well have been with the amount of "luck" it had apparently been getting.
Day 4
I dodged a bullet there. Nuff said.
But at this point, the only people voting for me were Jolt and Yaseikhaan, both of whom were unable to build a case convincing enough to persuade the others. At the end of it, when I realized that I was not chosen to battle Red, I realized that the chances of my victory were rather sizeable.
Nigh 4
I decided that DiY had to go because he revealed in thread that he had been attacked at night.
I attacked Chimpyang once more...only to see that he had lived to see another day.
I, vowing revenge, left.
Day 5
At this moment, I facepalmed at Saregona's posts, which were not helping town a SINGLE BIT.
Captain Blackadder too. I almost felt bad dodging a lynch like this.
Night 5
Lance, Steven, and Ruby targetted.
Steven, I demolished quite easily :p
Yaseikhaan I had slight trouble with, and it also revealed to the townie that I had been using stolen pokemon. Logically, this would have funneled suspiscion right back at me. But as expected, "Somebody else's problem," field seems to have worked.
Chimpyang...FINALLLY! FOR GOD'S SAKE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Day 6
And at this point, I was not sure whether or not to be glad at Jolt's attempts to bring me down, or be angered by it. I subscribe to the theory called "not my problem" theory. If a scummer had escaped a lynch instigated by another person with a valid reason once, and the person tries to instigate yet another lynch, it will most likely fail.
Just for my own amusement, I decided to rise up to the Jolt's challenge as the classic "annoyed townie." I was basically saying "well, if you want to lynch me, I am bring you down with me!" It was a bluff, which seems to have succeeded.
Night 6
My original plan was this: finsih off Yaseikhaan and Yaseikhaan only.
With 5 players remaining, and none of them willing to vote for me, I would most likely be sent into battle against another person, at which point I will utterly destroy him.
After that, there would have been 4. If I could kill 2 of them in one night, I would have won. I was staking it all in that final night.
But then Zack went ahead and made himself look rather scummy. I then edited my night orders to attack Secura as well, from whom I had managed to sneak away her team profile in our idle chat together.
I would then most likely be voted into battle to fight Zack, or Zack would have been unanimously lynched. With that, there would only have been 2 people left to kill. I was certain that I would be able to kill at least one.
My victory was assured.
Day 7
But I felt bad about winning this.
Realization creeped up to me that, perhaps this role was bit too overpowered. And I did not want to be known as that guy who stole the victory using a hugely powerful role.
So I played a game. I made a wager to see which one of the players had actually read the rules to see that cheaters were supposed to be unanimously voted upon.
I also prepared a little speech that you could see Mewtwo say in the final rightup, although Chaotix did make some heavy altercations to it :p.
In this way, I thought, I could give this whole game an ending that everyone would enjoy. I enjoyed it, anyways.
I had hoped that the townies would win at this point, but ATPG, fully suspecting that he would lose, voted for himself, signalling the start of our duel.
And you know what happened next :bow:
Mewtwo
[Legendary Pokemon]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Mewtwo.png
You are Mewtwo, a dangerously powerful legendary Pokemon and member of the original Council of Villains.
In fact, the doomsday machine that the villains created has given you even more power than you originally had. You have decided that it is time for you to make your move. This world should belong to Pokemon, not to humans. Humans are weak, and they should all be crushed- or better yet, made your slaves, forced to live in the same humiliating “Pokeballs” that they stuff your kind into. You will turn the tables on them. And in order to do this, you have gathered all of the world’s most powerful trainers inside your lair. You will make them battle each other by day, and by night you will use their own Pokemon- the three Pokemon that each had to give up before competing- to ambush them and speed up the process. Once all of their Pokemon have fainted, you will crush their skulls with your mind, and emerge from Cerulean Cave as the undisputed ruler of the Pokemon world!
Your character roughly corresponds to Mewtwo (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mewtwo) in the main series.
Victory Condition: Defeat the Pokemon of all competing trainers.
You ambushed the first trainer to enter Cerulean Cave. This trainer is now under your mind control, and will do your bidding. It is vital that your trainer be the one to “win” the tournament; otherwise there will still be trainers who oppose your takeover. If your trainer loses all three chosen Pokemon, your true identity will be revealed, but you will not have lost yet. You will play as normally and automatically win any duels placed against you. You must be lynched unanimously in order to lose. Here is your cover role:
Pearl
[Sinnoh Champion]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Pearl.png
You are Pearl, the current Champion of the Sinnoh Region.
You began your journey in Twinleaf Town with your best friend, the rather-hyperactive Diamond. He convinced you to “borrow” a few of Professor Rowan’s Pokemon, but later the Professor gave them to you both as a gift. Discovering you were good at Pokemon battles, you decided to take the Gym challenge, and quickly rose to the top. Along the way, you succeeded in defeating Team Galactic and stopping the legendary Pokemon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina from wreaking havoc across the region. Finally, you fought the Elite Four and beat the Champion, Cynthia- but not before having to duel Diamond again. This tournament is a great opportunity to test your skills once again.
Your character roughly corresponds to Dawn (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dawn_(game)) in the main series.
Victory Condition: Win the Pokemon World Championship Tournament.

Empoleon (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Empoleon) – Water/Steel type

Vespiquen (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vespiquen) – Bug/Flying type

You must choose three of these to compete in the tournament. The type of each Pokemon is the only statistic that matters. Be sure to pick a balanced team.
Special Ability: Night Attack
Once you have confiscated the other trainers’ Pokemon, they will be at your disposal for night attacks. You may use up to six Pokemon every night. You can attack at maximum three different trainers, and you may use at maximum three different Pokemon on any one trainer. If a Pokemon you were using faints, you will not be able to use it again. If you run out of Pokemon, you can no longer battle at night.

It is popular belief, though it has never been proven, that you are also the most powerful Pokemon master in the entire world. This is largely due to the fact that, after taking down Team Rocket and defeating the Indigo League, you secluded yourself at the top of Mt. Silver and have scarcely been seen for three years.

Special Ability: Number One Seed
Few trainers know just how good you actually are. Unfortunately for the competitors in this tournament, the legends are all true. You are indisputably better than any other trainer here, and were this a normal tournament you would win without a problem. You still have a better chance than most. As a result of superior training, your Pokemon have a better chance at winning battles than others.

Um... why didn't I run away and then use Umbreon later?
edit: I totally predict a sequel where Lugia pwns Mewtwo.
You only had one of the three, therefore Umbreon was moved up to the #2 spot.
If you still had a full team, then you would have kept Umbreon for later.
Your ability was not the same as Mewtwo's "ability" to survive a losing duel. Remember that Pearl never actually had a fourth Pokemon to use. It was, however, intended that you confuse the two and believe Pearl to be the same as you.

Hmm, not so good choices on my part here and there, but ultimately a fun game to play Chaotix :bow:
Not sure if this means that Zack was bad:
This fool was only out for his own personal gains. Had he succeeded in capturing me, he still would have killed the rest of you. Perhaps years of fighting each other with Pokemon have rotted all of your minds.”
Mmm odd reads on Zack, especially if he was innocent, it did seem like a very hasty backtrack.
Oh well, lesson to learn, read the OP more clearly and refresh when needed.
Good job on the solo victory Seon :yes:
autolycus
04-20-2011, 12:50
The only thing at this point that I might argue was unbalanced was Mewtwo getting to wipe all of atpg's pokemon. It flipped the incentive structure for who to pick to duel someone you think is scum on its head. If atpg had voted Double A and Double A had been the one to fight that day, it would have been a harder road.
Seon's day powers, as best as I can tell were a) Survive one lost duel, unrevealed as Mewtwo
b) Automatically win any future duels, although revealed as Mewtwo.
Also, I might argue that in a game where the object is to be the last one standing, the "Mafia" figure does not need to have anything like that much power, because while everyone wants them gone, everyone also wants everyone else gone. I, for one, would have been a much more active dead person, if this had had a traditional town victory.
My other minor gripe was that in the choose 3 pokemon section, I assumed that we were putting in/locking in our pokemon for the fights, not ditching the ones we didn't want to use, and it wasn't until Seon that I discovered that might be wrong, and I was never altogether sure of that.
But all told, a great game!
Take home message for me from Seon's information is: look for horses, not zebras.
Take-home for me is what a player in another group I play mafia with always says: if a role survives a lynch without reveal, always lynch them a second time immediately. Always. (Slight exception for games like Star Wars, if and when it has *already* been established that multiple townies might have that ability.)
Yes, some game designers will give such a role to townies, for whatever reason. They should be discouraged from doing so unless they consciously *want* such an anti-town town ability in the game, and the only way to do that is the call the bluff, every single time.
All that aside, congrats to Seon. You may not think you deserved it, but one false move at any time between day two and the end would have seen you lynched a second time despite the established town resistance to doing such a thing, and you obviously didn't make any. Well done.

And if he had voted Mewtwo like I and someone else said we would have won.
I got that we were ditching them. I just didn't make the connection till I realized only one Gyrados had been used.

Special Ability: Number One Seed
Few trainers know just how good you actually are. Unfortunately for the competitors in this tournament, the legends are all true. You are indisputably better than any other trainer here, and were this a normal tournament you would win without a problem. You still have a better chance than most. As a result of superior training, your Pokemon have a better chance at winning battles than others.
Double A: Blue
Blue
[Kanto Rival]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Blue.png
You are Blue, the Viridian Gym Leader, former Champion of the Kanto Region, and grandson of Professor Oak.
In a relatively short time, you managed to obtain all eight Kanto Gym badges and defeat the Indigo Elite Four, becoming the Champion. Unfortunately for you, your childhood rival Red took all of that away from you just as quickly. That was three years ago. Nowadays, you are the Gym Leader of Viridian City, a position formerly held by the Team Rocket Boss Giovanni. You’ve kept your Pokemon in top shape waiting for an opportunity like this to come along, so you can prove once more that you are the best. And you might even see Red again… you can smell him.
Your character roughly corresponds to Blue (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Blue_(game)) in the main series.

Special Ability: Holdout Pokemon
In your journeys, you learned the value of always having a Pokemon on hand, no matter the circumstances. And you’ve also learned that, although you’re good, you can’t always win. Rules or no, you don’t intend to be defenseless in the event that you lose your three competitors, especially since you’re getting a weird vibe from this whole tournament scheme. You are allowed to select a fourth Pokemon that you will be able to use if the other three are defeated.
Renata: Gold
Gold
[Johto Champion]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Gold.png
You are Gold, the new Champion from the Johto Region.
You started your journey in New Bark Town running errands for Professor Elm, and soon realized you had a natural talent for Pokemon battles. Without much trouble, you obtained the eight Johto Gym badges and toppled a resurgent Team Rocket, though there was always an annoying boy named Silver chasing you. Soon after, you defeated the Indigo Elite Four and moved on to defeat all of the gyms in Kanto as well. Now, the only one you haven’t beaten is the legendary Champion Red, and you’ve got a feeling he’ll be at this tournament, too. This is your chance to prove yourself as the greatest trainer in the world.

[Johto Rival]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Silver.png
You are Silver, the roaming trainer and abandoned son of Giovanni.
You got your start by breaking into Professor Elm’s laboratory and stealing yourself a tough Pokemon. From there, you wandered Johto in search of more and more powerful Pokemon, which you used only as tools. There was constantly one boy, Gold, who was always able to defeat you, even though his Pokemon looked weak. After defeating Team Rocket, Gold taught you the value of treating Pokemon as partners, and from then on you’ve become even stronger. That doesn’t mean you have to like the kid, though. Now’s your chance to prove your dominance once and for all!

Lance
[Former Indigo Champion]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Lance.png
You are Lance, the acting Champion of both Kanto and Johto, known collectively as the Indigo League.
In actuality, you are only the Champion right now because everybody who beats you would rather not stand in a room at the end of the Elite Four all day, waiting for new challengers. But you didn’t get the position for nothing – your dragons are a force to be reckoned with. Only Red, Blue, and Gold have managed to defeat you, and it was always a tough battle. And you’ve been constantly training so you can beat them in the event of a rematch. Perhaps this is the chance you’ve been waiting for to truly take back your title!

[Pokemon Center Manager]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/NurseJoy.gif
You are Nurse Joy, the manager of the international Pokemon Center Organization.
It was your brilliant idea to create a building in each major city dedicated to keeping the Pokemon of all trainers healthy. The Pokemon Center’s services are completely free, and they always restore a Pokemon back to full health. What most don’t know is that you’re also a formidable Pokemon trainer in your own right. You’re not sure how you’ll stand up to the other trainers here, but you’ve got a feeling this isn’t just a Tournament. Being trained in Pokemon medical science, there are other ways you can help.

Special Ability: Softboiled
Both your Chansey and your Blissey have the move “Softboiled”, which allows them to restore the health of another Pokemon. Chansey and Blissey may each heal one Pokemon every night phase if they are placed in your team of three. However, they are also not trained for battling, and will not stand a chance if put up against another Pokemon. The rest of your Pokemon are battle-ready, but of course have no healing abilities. Be careful when choosing your team- the more healing ability you have, the more defenseless you are.
B_Ray: Giovanni
Giovanni
[Team Rocket Boss]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Giovanni.png
You are Giovanni, the head of Team Rocket and Viridian Gym Leader.
Or at least you were three years ago. Now, Team Rocket has been all but crushed: first thwarted by Red at Silph Co. in Saffron City, and then by Gold after their resurgence at the Goldenrod City Radio Tower. You were the one who built it up from nothing, and who watched it all come crumbling to the ground. There is one event that you consider your greatest failure, though. Years before Red became Champion, a group of Team Rocket scientists used the DNA from a legendary Pokemon to clone it and create a newer, stronger Pokemon. The experiment was a success… until the Pokemon broke free and rampaged, destroying the entire laboratory. And when the Pokemon fled, it came to hide in Cerulean Cave.

Ruby
[Hoenn Champion]
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/Chaotix2732/Mewtwos%20Retribution/Ruby.png
You are Ruby, the new Champion of the Hoenn Region.
Only recently, your family moved to Hoenn so that your father, Norman, could take his place as the Petalburg City Gym Leader. You took up residence in Littleroot Town, where you quickly proceeded to save the life of Professor Birch, receive a Pokemon from him as a reward, and discovered you had a talent for Pokemon battling when you defeated his daughter, Sapphire. From that point you took the Gym Challenge, even going so far as to defeat your own father. Along the way, you encountered two organizations bent on the destruction of the Hoenn Region, Team Magma and Team Aqua, and by finding the legendary Pokemon Rayquaza, stopped a massive natural disaster. Finally, after challenging the Hoenn Elite Four and winning, you became the Champion of the Region. You’d like to believe you have a pretty good shot at winning this.

You are Sapphire, the daughter of the Hoenn Region’s Professor Birch.
For that reason, you’ve always been around Pokemon as you were growing up. For a while, you were content merely to help your father with his work, but once Ruby arrived and started challenging the Gyms, it lit off a spark in you as well. Given a Pokedex by your father, you set out on a journey of your own to meet, capture, and study new Pokemon, all the while training a powerful team. Though you were always one step ahead of Ruby, you were never able to defeat him. Still, you’ve been training, and there’s a reason you were selected for this tournament!

Although you would still be a sickly little boy if it weren’t for the help of Ruby. He helped you catch your very first Pokemon, and as a result you developed a desire to emulate him. Though you got off to a slow start, you were able to get all of the Gym badges and even meet Ruby in Victory Road, just before the Pokemon League. Although he defeated you there and became the Champion of the Hoenn Region, you’ve been training rigorously and have become a lot stronger. In this tournament, you have the perfect chance to test whether or not you’ve surpassed your mentor!

That’s what you told Ruby when you first met him. You concocted a grand plan to flood the entire world and expand the seas by summoning the ancient legendary Pokemon, Kyogre. Kyogre, once under your control, would cause an everlasting torrential downpour. Since both people and Pokemon need water to live, it was the perfect plan to help the world! What could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately, both Team Magma and Ruby got in your way. Kyogre went on a rampage, got into a fight with Groudon, and had to be stopped by Ruby and Rayquaza. But if you could win this tournament, then everyone would listen to Team Aqua again! Everyone will learn to love the sea!

You abdicated from the championship in order to pursue your hobby of collecting interesting rocks and stones. You also have a hobby of collecting Rock and Steel type Pokemon, and training them to frighteningly high levels. It is debatable whether or not even the current Champion Ruby could defeat you, since you have never battled before- but you have seen Ruby in action, and he’s no pushover.

Your best friend, Pearl, is the regional Champion, and although she’s certainly a great trainer, personally you think you deserve it more. You employ much more strategy in your battles: your Pokemon hit their opponents, and then they dodge attacks. That way, they can never lose! You managed to beat all of the Gym Leaders before Pearl did, but when you battled in Victory Road, she came out the victor. You’ve been training a lot since then, though, and you’re pretty sure you can win this time!

The young trainer Pearl was able to defeat you and take your title. When Team Galactic summoned the legendary Giratina and you were sucked into the Distortion World, Pearl was able to face both Cyrus and Giratina, where you were not. That said, while you have no ill feelings towards Pearl, you have still been training relentlessly so that you can take back your title.

You’re depressed, just a little insane, and probably nihilistic. When you formed Team Galactic, you told all of your henchmen that you would be using the power of legendary Pokemon to create a new and better world. What you didn’t mention was that you intended to destroy this one and build the new one up from the rubble. Everything was going according to plan until Cynthia, Diamond, and Pearl showed up to ruin your plans. Now you are in disgrace, but if you can seize this opportunity and defeat all of the other powerful trainers, you might just find yourself on top once again!
Your character roughly corresponds to Cyrus (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cyrus) in the main series.
Victory Condition: Win the Pokemon World Championship Tournament.
Pokemon
Honchkrow (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Honchkrow) – Dark/Flying type
Gyarados (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gyarados) – Water/Flying type
Electivire (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Electivire) - Electric type
Weavile (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Weavile) – Dark/Ice type
Mismagius (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mismagius) - Ghost type
Houndoom (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Houndoom) – Dark/Fire type
You must choose three of these to compete in the tournament. The type of each Pokemon is the only statistic that matters. Be sure to pick a balanced team.
For reference to Pokemon types, see this chart (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Type_chart). It may look intimidating, but it is actually rather simple, and only really necessary if you know you must counter a certain type. You can look up the specifics of each Pokemon by typing its name into this wiki.
The Setup / Game Mechanics
This game began as a concept pretty much right after Aries777777 closed sign-ups for a similar game, entitled “Pokemon Mafia”. Now, right there you can tell it’s been on the back-burner for a long time- I bet some of you don’t even know or remember who Aries is.
Anyway, Aries couldn’t host the game, so it closed down, and I thought, “this is still a cool concept, and I should try to make it work”. So right there I knew that the system would be players with teams of either 3 or 6 Pokemon, and I knew it had to be a duel system. Over the course of Council of Villains II and III, and in the weeks leading up to my opening sign-ups, it became what it is now.
So here is the set-up, most of which you can guess now. There are seventeen trainers, and each is allowed to use 3 Pokemon. To give some flexibility, they are given a pre-set team of 6 and allowed to choose from that and re-order their team as they wish. There is only ONE mafia- Mewtwo- which is very scarce for a game with seventeen players. To offset this, there are very few pro-town roles. There are no investigators, roleblockers, vigilantes, protectors, or anything active like that. There is one player with powerful Pokemon, another with an extra Pokemon, and a third that can heal up to two Pokemon per night, depending on how many “healing” Pokemon she brings. And those “healing” Pokemon cannot defend themselves, so the more she brings, the vulnerable she herself is.
Mewtwo’s role was randomized first, and landed on Seon. Then, the seventeen trainers were randomized on top of that- Mewtwo had no pre-determined cover role to ensure that it was not just a throwaway cover. Any trainer excluding Red, Blue, or Joy would have worked; had Seon landed on one of them, I would have switched the role with another player randomly.
The lynch is a duel system, with the possibility for an outright lynch if the vote is unanimous. Once fainted, Pokemon do not recover. Mewtwo can survive a losing duel without being revealed, though there are many hints dropped that his player should be lynched again. In fact, Mewtwo can only be defeated through a unanimous lynch. Mewtwo can also use 6 Pokemon to attack up to 3 players every night.
So, yes, all those are advantages for Mewtwo. Compared to the other roles, he is incredibly powerful, but he had to be in order to stand a chance against them. Mewtwo also has some conspicuous disadvantages. His night attacks are by no means guaranteed to succeed- in fact, they function like normal duels. He uses the Pokemon that the trainers DON’T choose, and as soon as he attacks someone with their own Pokemon, large hints are dropped. If players connect the dots, it’s possible to figure this out before that happens. And also, if the players all decide they like their Electric and Ground and Ice types and leave none for Mewtwo- that’s tough luck for Mewtwo. He has to deal without them. Mewtwo has just as many Pokemon total as the rest of the players, total, so if he loses more than he wins, then he could very well run out of Pokemon and be unable to kill at night AT ALL. Then it’s just a matter of time for the town to find him.
But the game does go beyond just Mewtwo, Most of you noticed your odd victory condition: “Survive the tournament”. Not “win”, but “survive”. None of the “eliminated” trainers die until the very end of the game, if at all. If Mewtwo happens to be defeated by the town, the game goes on, and then things really start to get interesting. Players are given the new option of Vote: Stop Fighting, which only works with a unanimous vote. If that succeeds, then there is a shared town victory for everyone except Mewtwo, whether they have been eliminated or not. The trainers are also given the ability to attack at night, and as an alternative to the town victory, it becomes a game of last man standing. The tournament turns out to be real after all, and when the final trainer wins, the prize is Mewtwo- captured in a Master Ball. The trainer then kills off the rest of them, and achieves solo victory.
Now I’ll go into the battle system. I wanted it to be simplistic, but at the same time have elements that made sense in the Pokemon continuity. As such, the only characteristic that mattered was a Pokemon’s type. There was, of course, a second, hidden characteristic specific to three categories of Pokemon, which you figured out over the course of the game. That had less to do with the species than with the individual Pokemon themselves.
Battles were decided by random.org ’s true random number generator. I wanted to emphasize the fact that, although the type match-ups make a huge difference, it is always possible for either side to win with luck or skill.
All (normal) battles started off with a 50-50 chance for either side winning. Then, percentage points were deducted from one side and added to another in increments of 12.5 depending on the type advantages and disadvantages. Once done, a random number between 1 and 1000 was thrown. If lower than the first Pokemon’s chances, then that Pokemon won. If higher, the Pokemon lost. I’ll give some examples to illustrate this.
First up is Charmander (Fire type) VS Pikachu (Electric type).
Round 1: Charmander (50.0) VS Pikachu (50.0)
Since Fire and Electric are neutral to each other on both attack and defense, the match-up is even. If the roll is 500 or below, Charmander wins. Otherwise, Pikachu wins.
Now we’ll take Charmander VS Chikorita (Grass type).
Round 2: Charmander (75.0) VS Chikorita (25.0)
Charmander has both an offensive advantage and a defensive advantage. Fire attacks are supereffective against Grass, so Charmander gains one point for offense. Grass attacks are weak against Fire, so Charmander gains one point for defense. Similarly, you could look at it as Chikorita losing a point each for offense and defense. Clearly, Charmander is likely to win, but there’s still a random 1-in-4 chance that Chikorita pulls it around and beats it.
Advantages and disadvantages get more complicated when you add dual types. On defense, resistances and weaknesses can stack or cancel out. On offense, the Pokemon’s stronger offensive type will cover for the weaker type. Let’s take Charmander VS Bulbasaur (Grass/Poison type).
Round 3: Charmander (62.5) VS Bulbasaur (37.5)
Notice Bulbasaur has a better chance of winning than Chikorita did. Charmander retains its offensive advantage over the Grass type, but its defensive advantage has now been nullified. Bulbasaur uses its Poison type to attack Charmander instead of its Grass type, resulting in a neutral matchup.
There’s also a special case for matchups that do 0x damage.
Round 4: Pikachu (12.5) VS Sandshrew (87.5)
Sandshrew is a Ground type. 0x matchups incur a 25% penalty to attack. This, stacked with Pikachu’s defensive disadvantage to Ground, puts Pikachu at a severe disadvantage.
Round 5: Pikachu (12.5) VS Gligar (87.5)
Gligar is Ground/Flying. The 0x matchup also nullifies the Pokemon’s other type on defense. So even though Electric is supereffective against Flying, it is not taken into account since Electric does NO damage against Ground.
There were three exceptions to this general rule.
Mewtwo had a 100% chance to win every battle.
Chansey and Blissey had a 0% chance of winning any battle.
Pokemon belonging to Red (including those stolen by Mewtwo) started at 75-25 instead of 50-50. Effectively, a 25% bonus advantage. It is worth noting that Mewtwo’s list never contained the names of the trainers for each Pokemon. So although it would be easy for him to figure it out once Red was discovered to be so powerful, before that he had no way of knowing they were that powerful except by seeing his results for himself.
So I’d say that, even though the battle system produced some interesting outliers, it was still pretty balanced, without determining the outcome of the game solely based on the type-matchups. It accomplished what I intended.
As for those who say Mewtwo was overpowered: I reply that it was Seon, not Mewtwo, who was overpowered. Seon had a brilliant if unorthodox strategy right from the beginning of using his unhelpful normal types to determine the layout of his opponents’ teams. Beginning Night 2, Seon was constantly aware of type match-ups and made good choices given the info he received from the duels and his own attacks. He was even revealed as a cheater by losing the D2 Duel, but the town didn’t take the clear hint I gave in the opening write-up. In fact, the town never attempted to lynch him or even duel him again until it was already too late. Even a failed duel early on in the game would have left enough time for the town to get its act together. To be fair, he got lucky- dodging a second duel only by a random number throw. But Seon was also unlucky at times. He wasted 5 Pokemon trying to take down a lucky Tentacruel. But he was smart enough not to attempt to battle Red, instead letting the town duel him to death. The town was also slow in figuring out just how the mafia worked- granted, the clues, though present, were scarce. Red was another contention point- the town wasted three duels trying to take him down, when really he should have been used as a wall to hold up against Mewtwo and force an attack, lest he be present in the endgame. Perhaps better communication between Saregona and the rest might’ve solved that.
In the end, it was Seon who lied and backstabbed and clawed his way to victory in a role that was crippled from Day 2 onwards, and for that I applaud him. Mewtwo was designed to be powerful, but not necessarily to win. I estimate the role in general had less chance of winning than either the town or a solo trainer.
Once I get everything together, I’ll post the behind-the-scenes results of all the battles.
tbh I'm not really sure that even after two duels and not being lynched Seon would get a unanimous vote on him the following day.

tbh I'm not really sure that even after two duels and not being lynched Seon would get a unanimous vote on him the following day.
You saw what happened when Seon dueled ATPG, correct?
If Seon was dueled again after losing all three of his Pokemon, he was revealed as Mewtwo, the main antagonist of the game. If the players didn't realize that they had to eliminate him with a unanimous vote by that point... then they weren't paying very good attention. It's in the opening post. I'd deem that the fault of the players, since they were given the opportunity and practically slapped in the face with it. Ultimately, the game was not about finding Mewtwo, it was about figuring out how to defeat him. I deemed Mewtwo being revealed a near-inevitability.
Also, one more thing I should've mentioned in the commentary: I wish I could go back and re-do ATPG's team. I generally was careful with all of the teams I had to create myself. Archie, Maxie, and Cyrus I knew had to be intentionally unbalanced towards one type, but workable. I intended for ATPG's (Sapphire's) to be balanced, but at some point I must have just missed the boat trying to give her all Gen III Pokemon. The final team wound up having like 5 out of 6 members weak to flying and 4 weak to fire. I was really kicking myself over that, especially when ATPG came up with this elaborate strategy of how to win.

What would have happened if the Blissey fought a Ghost Pokemon?
What would have happened if the Blissey fought a Ghost Pokemon?
That actually happened; check the N1 write-up or the battle list two posts up.
Blissey and Chansey always had a 0% win rate, and did not take type-advantages into account.
Mewtwo always had a 100% win rate under the same circumstances. Even facing a Dark type, Mewtwo would always win.

Red was another contention point- the town wasted three duels trying to take him down, when really he should have been used as a wall to hold up against Mewtwo and force an attack, lest he be present in the endgame. Perhaps better communication between Saregona and the rest might’ve solved that.
