So... can I challenge rgu, or do I have to wait for frostgiant to show up?

Go ahead and challenge. I've prodded frostgiant, but no response. If they don't turn up in the next 12 hours I'll have to drop them from the league.

Sullen John challenges Bug Catcher Dan!

[randomgenericusername]

In that case, Dan challenges PokéManiac Leo. Dan will accept John's challenge, but only after the fight happens (if it happens.)

I kinda already have a planned order in which to challenge each trainer, sorry.

[TricMagic]

Leo probably has to either fight or decline mine.

[Maximum Spin]

Leo probably has to either fight or decline mine.

Since I challenged Dan first, and you had already been challenged at that point too, I feel like that's unlikely.

I would really like to have NQT clarify that, though.

So it WAS a challenge? I was kinda confused as you hadn't bolded it and NQT hadn't processed the action yet.

Miner George has dropped out of the league

(If frostgiant returns, they are welcome to rejoin)

Dan points towards his opponent, posing menacingly. The last two consecutive victories significantly increased his confidence and arrogance.

"He's invincible! Unbeatable! Unmatched! Venofree has no weakness! It's the ultimate Pokéfusion!"

Venofree flies above his opponent, eclipsing the sun with it's body. It begins to flutter it's wings at high speeds, releasing a highly toxic powder. It quickly begins to accumulate, until both combatants are completely surrounded by a cloud of poison.

"Mewtales! This might not be an easy fight, but I know we can do it! Psystrike!"
[mewtales noises]
"What do you mean that move doesn't exist yet?"
[further mewtales noises]
"Whatever, just use Psychic."

Mewtales stares at the bug, willing space and time to bend around it! All the straight lines in the stadium go wibbly, mirroring the fluid motion of Mewtales' tails. A ringing sound swells from somewhere deep underground.

[IcyTea31]

83$ on Dan winning against Leo.

BATTLE FOUR
Bug Catcher Dan  --  PokéManiac Leo
Venofree --  Mewtales

VS

It's a match up between the two purple perils!

Dan points towards his opponent, posing menacingly. The last two consecutive victories significantly increased his confidence and arrogance.

"He's invincible! Unbeatable! Unmatched! Venofree has no weakness! It's the ultimate Pokéfusion!"

Venofree flies above his opponent, eclipsing the sun with it's body. It begins to flutter it's wings at high speeds, releasing a highly toxic powder. It quickly begins to accumulate, until both combatants are completely surrounded by a cloud of poison.

"Mewtales!" Leo says, "This might not be an easy fight, but I know we can do it! Psystrike!"

[mewtales noises]

"What do you mean that move doesn't exist yet?"

[further mewtales noises]

"Whatever, just use Psychic."

Mewtales stares at the bug, willing space and time to bend around it! All the straight lines in the stadium go wibbly, mirroring the fluid motion of Mewtales' tails. A ringing sound swells from somewhere deep underground.

Venofree's Poison vs Fire: 2  =  (+1 type affinity) (+1 evolved attack) (-1 evolved defence) = 3
Mewtales's Psychic vs Bug-Flying: 3  (-1 type defence) (-2 evolved defence)  = 0

It's a close call as there's a flurry of violet violence. But the bells beneath the ground fall silent as Mewtales chokes on the poisonous fumes!

Bug Catcher Dan is victorious!

Bug Catcher Dan: +$100
PokéManiac Leo: +$50

Gambling Payouts
Odds on 1/4 for Dan:
Gentleman Jacques: -$83 +$104

PokéManiac Leo is now at 2/3 ($100 winning bet = $167)
Bug Catcher Dan is now even firmer favourite at 1/5 ($100 winning bet = $120)

Fan Roll
Bug Catcher Dan: 5, +1 (great battle) = +6 fans!
PokéManiac Leo: 4, +1 (great battle), -3 (losing), +1 (rare pokemon) = +3 fans!

The league table has been updated.

[TricMagic]

Leo. Still challenging you.

[notquitethere]

Here's the type chart, if anyone hadn't seen it:



Also, a clarification: as implied by the wording, Pokemon Type Affinity boosts any use of that pokemon, even when they're not using their signature type. So, Dan got a +1 to his attack even though it was a Poison attack, simply because he was using a Bug-type pokemon as the attacker.


Challenge Update

Cool Trainer ♂William can make a challenge.

Sullen John has challenged Bug Catcher Dan, and Dan has accepted, so both should declare their attacks.

Gentleman Jacques can make a challenge.

Fusion Ace ♀ Accel has challenged PokéManiac Leo, who may either pay to decline or accept and announce their attack.

With Miner George AWOL from the comp, there is a slot open.

[Maximum Spin]

Leo shrugs and accepts the other challenge next. "Okay, Mewtales, do psychic again, but win this time!"

[TricMagic]

"Do what we planned!"

A sudden grin before... -Spite-

"Now, Finish It!"

Hauntfable uses Shadowball while Mewtails recovers from the Spite!
