Ranger Tests

[tyranitartrainer]

Here's a listing of the Ranger Lists I currently have saved. If any other Rangers make tests, please let me know so I can post them here, or go ahead and post them yourself. The point of this is to make it so Rangers can use pre-made tests if they don't have time to make a new one, or just don't feel like it.

:Porygon-Z Test:


Location: Abandoned Power Plant
Scenario: The Trainer has encountered a Porygon-Z and the battle has been swinging back and forth for several turns. In the Ranger’s last post they had Porygon-Z use a Lock-On/Zap Cannon combo. The Trainer has a Scizor out. Scizor has used Agility and Swords Dance, while Porygon-Z has used Nasty Plot.

=====

The current stats stand at:

Serious Male Scizor (TM Aerial Ace/ TM Brick Break/ TM Toxic/BM Light Screen, Technician Ability) 24.50% <Speed increased, Attack Increased> -Bullet Punch / Protect-

Genderless Porygon-Z (Download Ability) 30.75% <Special Attak increased> -Zap Cannon-

You can decide Porygon-Z’s Nature.

=====

Oh no, this wasnt good at all. I knew when the Pory started whirling its arms that something bad was coming. then the red beams shot from the middle of its eyes and the pokemon started to slowly spin its head from right to left. oh damn, a Lock-On. I was getting ready to tell Slash to move when the Pory’s speed increased and headed towards my Pokemon. The red beams centered on Slash’s chest, and the Scizor mad an angry sound as he darted to the left. The pory tracked Slash, the twin beams never steering off from the bug/steel Pokemon.

“slash, I don’t know what’s comming, but you have to keep moving if you’re gonna avoid whatever that thing throws at you!” I said. The Scizor nodded once at me, raising his pinchers and snapping them open and shut as he waited for Pory’s move.

that didn’t take long because seconds later the Pory’s arms started spinning very fast- one was spinning forward, the other backwards. The friction quickly began to build up and an orb of green electricity quickly covered the Pory. I stared. The Pory’z inteligence took me by surprise but it shouldn’t have since Pokemon are not dumb creatures. they knew how to make combos and a Pory was a super-smart computer. It would know better than any Pokemon what moves would work best.

“Slash, MOVE!” I shouted and at the same time I saw the electricity around the Pory getting shot forward. It moved faster then I expected, and Slash seemed surprised. His wings fluttered as he wavered in surprised because of that Zap Cannon. Then he snapped out of it and dodged to one side. The Zap Cannon just rushed by. It didnt go far before making a u-turn and coming at Slash’s again.

“Slash, you need to distract Pory from it’s attack! If you hit it hard it’ll lose its focus and the Lock-On will fail; then you can avoid the attack! Get behind it with Bullet Punch, and if that doesn’t work, you’ll have to try to break the Zap Cannon with Protect!”

slash nodded once again and beat his wings hard, suddenly becoming little more than a red streak due to its speed. He wasn’t moving as fast as he did when he completely healthy. He used to become practically invisible when using his Bullet Punch. he hovered close to the floor and dashed forward. close behind was the Zap Canon spinning through the air with a strange light and stranger shadows as it flew towards it’s target.

My attention was pulled back to the battle when I saw the red blur dart to one side, passing a few inches past the Pory before making a sudden turn and shooting back towards Pory’s back. I could only hope that the blow would be enough to make the damn thing lose control of it’s Lok-On and it’s Zap Cannon/ If this didnt work, Slash would have to waste energy trying to make a Protect that might not even work and if that happened Slash would probably be Ko’d.

:Armaldo Test:

Location: Botanic Garden.
Scenario: The trainer's Pachirisu roamed around in the Garden, skittering here and there behind bushes. After some skirmishes away from his trainer's eyes, a loud snarling was head, and he reappeared from behind a bush with a huge Armaldo in tow. It seems annoyed, to boot.

===
Current Stats:
Male Naughty Pachirisu (Pick Up) 100%
Extra Moves: Flash HM, Twave TM, Dig TM, Toxic TM
Vs
Wild ?? Armaldo (??/Battle Armor) 100% (you can choose the nature)
Currently using: Crush Claw

===

Geez. Damn Chap. He just had to come back like this. He couldn't just pick up, oh I wouldn't know, an unused Park Ball somebody left behind, or maybe a Potion... No, he just had to bring a Pokemon. An angry one, too! I bet he did something. He always does.

I shook my head. No use in blaming him for what's done. I can't really change it now... and running doesn't really seem a viable option, chances are this guy here would follow me straight down to Hell- well, maybe not me, but it would want to get revenge on my Pachirisu.

My sleek white furred squirrel-thing waved his tiny fists menacingly at his opponent, taunting it further, as he stood on his tail, tryhing to look taller. All I could see from where I was were the characteristical blue line that ran down the center of his back- which made him resemble a skunk... without the smelling- and energy crackling from the yellow dot cheeks. I inwardly sighed. This guy'd never change, not if his life depended on it.

Likely unable to take further psychological warfare, the ancient bug Pokemon let loose a deafening roar, the plates on its body reflecting the light like well-polished metal, and opened his claws wide, proceeding to then swing them together, maybe... sharpening them? I wasn't sure.

They were alight with fury as the Armaldo charged forward, occasionally hitting them together.

Frisk. Things were looking bad.

The good thing, is that those things have the speed of a bulldozer. The bad thing, however, is that their strenght match! I had to think fast, and think good- Chap isn't built to take beatings.

"Chap, use Dig to avoid its attack! Then, as it comes close unaware, close-quarter Discharge!"

The electric squirrel Pokemon had, in truth, started digging up already, having understood the strategy or maybe just coming up with one on his own, I'll never know- fact is, my skittering squirrel became a white and teal blur as he litterally ran in circles in place. Soon, the friction actually started to take its toll on the ground and so Chap started sinking deeper in the ground until the hole he made didn't give any sign of life.

God bless this critter's nimbleness... I thought with a sigh of relief.

However, the trickier part was now to happen. I waited a little for Armaldo to lower its guard, and then shouted. "NOW!"

True to his word, Chap appeared right behind the rock Pokemon, whose attention I temporairly diverted to myself by shouting. Using his tail as a spring, my Pachirisu leapt up, inscribing an aerial arc and, as he came right face-to-face with the opponent Pokemon, an evil smirk appeared on his angelic face, as it let loose all the electricity he'd been storing up, crackling bolts floating around Discharge's target- in this case, Armaldo's eyes.

"Quick, Chap, use Armaldo for leverage and get yaway before it can hit you!"

The Pachirisu was about to put his tail onto Armaldo's head, ready to put his tail muscles to good use and push himself out of harm's way...

:Nidoking Test:

Location: The Woods
Scenario: The Trainer has just run into a Nidoking, which used Surf last post.

I couldn’t believe my luck, which could either be considered good or bad, depending on how you looked at the situation. Some people would be ecstatic to run into a Nidoking; others would be running in the other direction as fast as their legs could carry them. Personally, I was somewhere in the middle, neither overly joyful nor shaking in my boots. That didn’t mean I wasn’t shocked, though. Nidoking weren’t exactly as common as Caterpie, and I’d come here expecting pretty much nothing more than Pikachu and Pidgey.

The large Pokemon snorted as he eyed the group of us from across the smooth, crystal-blue lake. His violet, rock-hard hide was glossy, a sign of vitality for his kind. The horn growing from his forehead looked unpleasantly dangerous, and his thick arms flexed as his wide, powerful paws clenched and unclenched. Weak sunlight shining through the emerald canopy above us glinted off the Nidoking’s claws. Behind his bulk, a weapon as formidable as his horn twisted through the leaf litter: A thick, heavy tail that could topple trees with one smash and crush the life out of smaller beings. All in all, a very intimidating opponent.

I heard my Ranger moving off a few paces, silently getting out of the way. I didn’t pay any attention to that, and neither did the Nidoking. His black eyes stayed locked on me, or more precisely, on Byte. The docile Porygon-Z hovered near my head, his long baby-blue arms lazily spinning in opposite directions. A faint, unconcerned hum came from him, and I chuckled a little at his attitude. He didn’t get ruffled easily, that was for sure.

A moment passed as I watched the Nidoking watch us, getting a strategy set in my mind. The Nido’s bulk would prevent him from moving quickly or agilely through the undergrowth and among the vines hanging from the trees, which was a distinct advantage. Byte would be less impeded, and would therefore be the faster of the two. This was crucial, because our foe’s strength wouldn’t suffer at all. Byte needed to avoid taking any direct blows if we were gonna pull this one out of the bag. He was, after all, the only Pokemon I had with me.

Suddenly, the Nidoking exploded into activity. I was taken aback by the suddenness of it, watching in shock as the large beast suddenly plunged into the pool. Before I could try to comprehend what was going on, a huge crest of water rose from the lake, Nidoking being carried at the top of the wave. It was using Surf! But how the heck did a wild Nidoking know that move? Well, I suppose it was possible for a Trainer to drop an HM and for a curious Pokemon to inspect it, only to learn the move. Or perhaps he’d inherited through his father’s line. It hardly mattered how he could do it, only that he could.

The Nido let out a roar that drowned out the rush of water, and I had no more time to think. I charged to the left, closely followed by Byte, and hastily gave my Pokemon his orders. “Byte, hit the base of that wave with an Ice Beam! Hopefully the water will freeze at least, and if we’re lucky, Nidoking will be frozen too! At the very least, if we can freeze the wave, it’ll give us a few seconds to plan something more effective.”

Byte gave a loud whir of assent before whirling around, facing the Nidoking-bearing wave that would crash down any second. After a few more steps I turned as well, watching as Byte’s arms rotated so quickly they were long blue blurs. About six inches in front of his snout, a pale blue orb was quickly beginning to form, growing larger and larger as Byte reprogrammed loose bits of his data. What was forming wasn’t actual ice, but data that was programmed to have the consistency and coldness of real ice. As it was edited, the data was pulled from Byte and gathered in the air before him.

Because he was in effect a super-computer and had blazing-fast processors, Byte’s Ice Beam was ready within two seconds. The basketball-sized sphere of glassy blue energy seemed to glow faintly before it suddenly stretched itself into a long, jagged beam. This shot forward and, with precise aim, struck the base of the wave that was finally beginning to submit to gravity. I watched as the Ice Beam hit the water, as did Byte. The Porygon-Z floated backwards a little, clearly ready to attempt a dodge if his Ice Beam failed to freeze the wave.


Current Stats:
Docile Genderless Porygon-Z: 100% -Ice Beam-
? Male Nidoking: 100% -Surfing-

=====

Notes: You can choose the Nature for the Nidoking. Porygon-Z is still Genderless even though the Trainer considers it a male.

:Absol Test:

Location: Meteor Valley
Scenario: The Trainer was walking with her Pikachu sitting on her shoulder. In the Ranger’s previous post, they made an Absol emerge from a cave right in front of the Trainer. Startled, the Absol executed a hasty Night Slash attack.

=====

The white-pelted canine was certainly lovely, but I didn’t have any time to admire it. I barely had time to recognize the beautiful creature before it was attacking. I was still dazed by its appearance, so I watched dumbly as the muscles bunched beneath the luxuries fur, stared stupidly as the wicked, scythe-like black horn began to give off a sickly purplish glow.

“PIKA!” little Elijah snapped, giving off a series of bright blue sparks. The sting from them brought me slamming back to reality. I shook my head and started to backpedal, but at that moment Absol lunged with a sharp bark. I yelped in surprise and tried to move faster, but my foot sunk into a hole hidden by the deep emerald grass. I flailed my arms as I toppled backwards; at the same moment, Elijah leapt from my shoulder and released a shrill screech. He was too protective of me, that Pikachu, and I watched in fear as snapping yellow tendrils of electricity danced over his body, not even feeling pain when my rear hit the grassy earth. Then, a huge bolt of power surged from him, arching through the air in the form of a Thunder attack.

“Elijah, no, don’t attack unless I tell you to!” I cried uselessly, hoping my small Pokemon wouldn’t come away uninjured from his self-motivated assault.

=====

:Bronzor Test:

Location: Botanic Gardens
Scenario: The Trainer has encountered a Lopunny and the battle is well under way. The Trainer’s Pokemon is a Bronzor. Lopunny is using Jump Kick this turn. The current stats are:

Jolly Genderless Bronzor @ Heat Proof Ability: 49.80%
Male Lopunny @ Klutz Ability: 51.66% -Jump Kick-

You can decide Lopunny’s Nature.

=====

oh man, this darn buny was REALLY starting to get on my nerves. it keeps dodgeing all Brons attacks, either that or using mirror coat. We have to use non special move now, since lopuny keep sending them back at us. Well, it was time to show that thing exactly who is boss.

“Bron, lets try something else,” i called, getting the floating blue pokemons attention. It spun in a circles to let me no it heard, and i grinned a little as I waited for the other pokemon to attack. “Wait for it, allright, wait for it to attack first. be ready to counter!”

Bron did another spin to show it understands. lopuny, either ignoreing my words or just unpatient, bounced forward fast and then leapt in to the air. It went up way high, like it had jumped on a big trampaline, getting smaller and smaller as it goes up. it turns into nothing but a big black shape in the sky, then i see it flip and starts falling back towards the ground. It came down faster than it had gone up, and then I see one of it’s long back legs stretched out. It’s useing jump kick!

Me and Bron watch the lopuny coming towards the ground, and i quickly came up with a counter. lopuny might have strong legs to deliever strong kicks, but Bron has high defense and anyways jump kick isn’t very affective anyways, since Bron has part resistence to fighting moves because of its Psychic type. Even though he wasn’t going to take much damage, I was going to make sure lopuny took double whatever Bron took. I new lopuny was getting tired, even though its been dodgeing lots of our attacks. it took like half damage from useing mirror coat all that time, after all.

Just before lopuny’s big foot hit Bron in the face, I hollered “OK Bron, show it what a payback looks like!” Bron makes a loud hum noise and spins so lopuny kicks it in the back, where it can’t take as much damage or get hit in the eyes or anything. When lopuny’s attack hits, the energy in it flows through Brons body and doubles in strength as the bronzor adds his own energy to it. Then a black flash shows and the double-powered energy rebounded at lopuny. I know Bron has taken some damage but it probably isn’t as much as what lopuny will take.
