Lena vs. Gill (Assignment ; 06 - COMPLETE) [WINNER: Gill]

It is a high honor to brawl you, Master Gill. I'm quite certain I will walk away from this brawl with an abundance of new knowledge.

LIFE GAUGE: 500 POINTS

Of course I aim to prove your observation correct, sir. Shall we start?

It seems only fitting that we roll your own Bakugan, Krakix, for this brawl.

Bakugan, Brawl!

Well, that isn't really what I had in mind, but I suppose it will do.

Bakugan, Stand! Emerge, Aquos Phosphos!

PHOSPHOS (Guardian) (Lv. 10)
(400/400)
Power Level: 900
Attack Force: 3
Defense: 6
Strength: 17
Agility: 15
Intelligence: 16
Will: 14
Special Shot: +110
Paralysis Venom: When an Ability is played that allows his effect to be activated, Phosphos strikes one opponent's Bakugan with a venom that prevents it from activating Ability Cards for the duration of the round unless the Ability Card used to activate this effect is negated. This effect can only be activated by an Ability Card three times per brawl. Once the three chances are used, the Ability Card neglects the Paralysis Venom effect entirely.

SPECIAL SHOT METER: 110 POINTS

Krakix 900 vs. Phosphos 900

During the first round of the Brawl only, increase that Phosphos' Power Level by 300 points in addition to the opponent's decrease.

Quote :

When on the attack, a Bakugan that has a higher Intelligence stat than the opponent's Bakugan:

- Can execute the Special Attack "Astute Ambush."

Astute Ambush gives the Bakugan with the higher Intelligence a chance to use that knowledge to devise a plan to deliver an attack with little to no resistance.

Similar to the Close Combat and Speeding Strike Special Attacks, Astute Ambush will take the difference in Intelligence stats of the opponent and your Bakugan. For the current attack, for each point of Intelligence you have higher than the opponent's Bakugan, add 100 points to your power level and deal an attack to the opponent. The attack is still multiplied by the "Attack Force" difference and divided by the opponent's Bakugan's Defense. The attack can be defended against, regardless of how strong. This power level increase only remains active for this one attack dealt.

PHOSPHOS
Intelligence: 20

vs.

KRAKIX
Intelligence: 15

-DETERMINING STAT DIFFERENCE-
Step #1: 20 - 15 = 5

-DETERMINING POWER INCREASE-
Step #2: 5 x 100 = 500

-DETERMINING NEW POWER LEVEL-

PHOSPHOS
(400/400)
Power Level: 1200 + 500 = 1700
Attack Force: 10
Defense: 6
Strength: 17
Agility: 15
Intelligence: 20
Will: 14

-ATTACK LAUNCHED-

Step #1: 1700 - 100 = 1,600
Step #2: 10 - 3 = 7
Step #3: 1600 x 7 = 11,200
Step #4: 11200 x 3 = 33,600
Step #5: 33600 / 8 = 4,200

4,200 points of damage is headed straight for Krakix.

Some may argue that wasting so many moves on the first turn of a brawl, against an opponent with an "invisible" profile is both unintelligent, and inefficient. Perhaps they are correct. However, I felt the need to test a theory. The result of which will soon become clear...

I'm sure you're expecting Stealth Claw, but I actually have another play in mind. Quite a risky one, at that... But we'll see how it plays out.

Ability, Activate! Spit Poison!

167. Spit Poison:
Class: Attack
Effect:
- Allows your Phosphos Bakugan to use the effect of the Paralysis Venom. In addition, allows that Phosphos to decrease an opponent's Bakugan's Power Level total by 300 points. During the first round of the Brawl only, allows that Phosphos Bakugan to neutralize an opponent's most recent Attack-Class Ability Card played.
- Increases your Phosphos' Attack Force by 3 points.

With this card, I am able to negate Vicer Oroch, as well as decrease Krakix by 300 points. Not a lot; but enough. Of course, Paralysis Venom is not in effect... But you don't need me to tell you that.

You're right. I only have one option.

Effect:
- Allows your Phosphos Bakugan to become invisible on the battlefield and become invulnerable to any attacks made by your opponent's Bakugan for the duration of the activator's next 2 turns. In addition, transfers 300 points from an opponent's Bakugan's Power Level total to your Phosphos' total.

-ATTACK WEAKENED-

Under normal circumstances, Phosphos would have still taken 1,980 points of damage. However, due to my ability Stealth Claw's effect, that damaged is voided.

Now, for the other half of my move! This attack isn't going to do any damage, but I had to do something to protect Stealth Claw.

As I predicted earlier, this attack is useless...

We both know where this is going.

I was fighting a losing battle, from the very beginning. My predictions were correct, however. I did learn quite a lot from this battle. Thank you, Master Gill. It was an honor to brawl you.
