chapter 12 smogon rises
smogon and his admins watched red and lillie fighting on pokemon showdown for the whole day. by the end red was rank 1736 on the ubers ladder and lillie was 1689 on ou. red had gone undefeted the entire day and lillie had only lost 1 game.
many of the smogon drones they had defeted were begining to questshin the strength of smogons sets and consider the inovation red and lillie had used.
"so my ou council we have been watchin these 2 all day. what do u fink were goin 2 hav 2 do to make there teams unviable?"
"lillies physical charizard y is a problem" one of the admins sugested. "the people on our ladder r so used 2 seein our cookie cutter special sets they never expect dragon danse and get sweeped."
"ok il ban all non-special charizard y sets under the innovation caluse" smogon desided. "what else?"
"red wins a lot of matches with his mew usin magic coat" an admin explaned. "our smogon drones r so used 2 seting up stealth rock on turn 1 evry match they dont expect a inovative counter like magic coat mew. most of them just ragequit as soon as they dont get rocks up."
the ou council discused many more bans with smogon and when they were finished they updated the innovation clause to ban many of the sets red and lillie had on there teams. the two of them had just finished winning there most recent matches and ended up meeting in the courtyard when they heard a voice over the intercom.
"attention all pokemon showdown players. the ou council has just had a meating and with a majority vote of 97% severel new overcentralising sets have been banned by the inovation clause. if u dont want to be banned from our island permanently id recomend taking ur pokemon back to the reception to check there not violating our new clause."
red and lillie both stared at each other with slightly horified expresions.
"this cant be anything good" said red.
"yes" said lillie.
they both went to the reception desk and were evan more horified to lern that almost all of there pokemon were now illegal via the innovation clause. sighing in annoyance they began asking the receptionist for new pokemon witch werent baned by the inovation clause. before they could evan finish they herd a voice behind them.
"you 2 have been causin me quite a lot of trouble here"
it was smogon! he towered over the heroes with a giant mallet in his hand. it had smogons logo on the side and was the banhammer the source of his dark magic.
"i have used my magic to craft my final plan 2 get rid of u 2."
"ur inovation clause wont stop us forever" red defied. "were inovating new teams rite now."
"i wasnt talkin about the inovation clause" smogon chuckled. "i have made another new clause... the final battle clause! when a match is played with the final battle clause in play the loser is banned... from existense!"
red and lillie both gasped.
"i chalenge battel with the final battle clause in play right now" smogon challenged.
"we dont except" sayed red. lillie nodded.
"ur defying me?" smogon asked with a sinisister grin. "dont u know about my dissenting opinions clause? if u go agenst the will of smogon my smogon ninjas will get u!"
a group of smogon ninjas teleported in with katanas redy to strike.
"...fine i except" red agreed. "fite me smogon. final battle clause on."
with red no longer breaking any smogon clauses the smogon ninjas turned back into weak nerds without smogons dark magic to give them power anymore. red and lillie easily beat them up and they went home crying. red and smogon got redy to battel.
