[Council of Villains] Mewtwo's Retribution [Concluded]

[Double A]

Seeing that Red is Ash, and therefore the most powerful trainer evaaaaaar, the "Pokemon enhancement" theory loses a bit of its momentum.

[Who am i?]

"You are either good or evil, so I will vote for you."

If you're wrong, and Saregona is guilty, I'm obviously going after you next.

[Jolt]

Let's put Seon against Saregona. That way we don't have to pit townies against Saregona.

Vote: Seon

[Zack]

Vote: Saregona

[Double A]

If you're wrong, and Saregona is guilty, I'm obviously going after you next.

Um... ok? I'm willing to give him a little slack due to Red never having any Gen III Pokemon.

[Death is yonder]

ROFLGASM @ Death was yonder.

Am I right in assuming that we know Saregona is Red, and that Red's pokemon have been inflicting damage on all of us all this time? Or am I misinterpreting the writeups.

Vote: Saregona.

I do not know if I could beat him. But we should know his types by now, anyone want to step up and challenge him?

Well now you probably know why I reacted to your post.

Anyway, Double A's visitor message on my profile is most curious indeed, most curious.

I'd've picked Crobat instead of Gengar or Alakazam.

I took down the Charizard too!

Good luck fellow townies

[Jolt]

Seon will need at least another vote to prevent him from voting on the last moment and escaping once again fighting during the day.

Meh. I'm not that convinced Seon has to go right now. I'm flip flopping on this, pending the results on Saregona.

You pit Seon against that, and you'll do no damage to Saregona, who I have grown weary of (not personally, but in-game). It's a waste of time unless Seon is your top suspect. He's not mine.

[Chimpyang]

Sigh. Attacked 2 nights running. At least my team has held strong so far.

Vote: Captain Blackadder

[Chimpyang]

Not that I'm whingeing about staying alive, but why did Magnezone lose to Tentacruel? I though the Electric/Steel type would outmatch the Tentacruel? But then again, surf is the ultimate HM IMO.

Also, is the Mightyena and Charizard properly down and out of the game then?

[seireikhaan]

Vote: Seon

I think Imma be stubborn on this and keep voting until you go.

[Jolt]

Hm...? Can you explain how he managed to be defeated in a duel and not be eliminated like every other townie? Can you explain how his continued existence is of any benefit to us?

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 )

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hm...? Can you explain how he managed to be defeated in a duel and not be eliminated like every other townie? Can you explain how his continued existence is of any benefit to us?

Can you explain how his surviving makes him automatically guilty?

Can you explain how his one pokemon MAGICALLY TRANSFORMS into several, so he can go attack us at night?

The dude attacking us has a Charizard. The guy I'm voting for, has a Charizard. It's simple maths.

1 does not equal 3.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Woah. Did I just get profound up in this cave?

[Seon]

Vote: Captain Blackadder.

I am definitely not going to fight Red when all I have is one measly pokemon.

[Secura]

There's something I find really odd; earlier in the game, 'khaan and Pizza were at odds, playing around with the whole duel thing for a few rounds but never actually garnering enough votes for this to occur... and now there's not even a whisper of it.

vote: Yaseikhaan

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.

[Renata]

That's just the thing -- he wasn't. He used a future duel with Pizza (which has never materialized) as reason to get out of fighting himself. Not a fan of post 312 either. he's a good suspect.

[Who am i?]

he's a good suspect.

"..."

[Double A]

I thought Pizza dropped it when he realized the duels lasted until all of one trainer's pokemon fainted.

[B-Wing]

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?

[Chaotix]

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.

You ought to read your victory conditions a little more carefully, it's a bit more subtle than that.

Anyway, round is over and I'm tallying the votes.

[Chaotix]

Tally:
Saregona - 3 (ATPG, Blackadder, Zack)
Captain Blackadder - 3 (Double A, Chimpyang, Seon)

Seon - 2 (Jolt, khaan)
Yaseikhaan - 1 (Secura)


The duel is between Saregona and Captain Blackadder.

Activity was kind of slow today...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yaseikhaan is my love bunny. Nobody touches him in that way but me.

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.

VS

“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!”

VS

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.

Begin Night 5

If I have all night orders, I think I can get away with ending it at 10:00 PM tomorrow. Otherwise, it'll be 12:30 AM.

[Who am i?]

[Double A]

That's what I was talking about. No Mightyena.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That's what I was talking about. No Mightyena.

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

= Guilty Double A.

[Double A]

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.
