HEY! This is my second article and the
debut of my new show, INZANE!
Crowd(C): Yaaaaaaaaay!
Nite Owl(NO): Today our geust is the astounding,
Wobuffet!
C: Yaaaaaaaaay!
Wobuffet(W): Yo!
NO: Let's take a look at ya' Wobby, my
friend.
Wobuffet
Evolution: Basic
HP: 90
Type: Psychic
Weakness: Psychic
Resistance: None
Retreat: (*)(*)(*)
NO: Well...
W: Hey! You forgot the best part!
NO: No I didn't. An owl never forgets.
W: HEY! AN ELEPHANT NEVER FORGETS, YOU
IDIOT!!!
NO: Oh. Sorry, I guess I left out your
attack.
W: Hey! Yeah, I guess you did.
NO: Here it is folks!
Counter (P):
If an attack damages Wobuffet during your opponent's next
turn (even if that attack knocks out Wobuffet), flip a coin. If heads,
do an equal amount of damage to the defending Pokemon.
C: Hmmmm...
NO: Well obviously, there are a few bad things about this
card:
*three retreat
*one "attack"
(amnesia-prone)
*can be knocked by confusion,
poison, pokemon power, etc.
(doesn't count as attacking)
*weak to its own type (confusion,
ditto)
*attack requires a coin flip
for success
*almost makes Base set Gastly
look good
Crazy Guy in the Crowd(CGC): He STINKS!!!!
Wobuffet uses counter.
W: Hey! Not as much as you!
CGC: That's it, I'm comin' up there on that stage and
woopin' your tail!
NO: Security!
A Machamp, level 256, walks out onto the
stage.
BIFF! POW! WHAM! SLAP!
NO: Slap?
CGC: Ughh...
NO: Ok, now let's look out how we can use Wobuffet for
good. First of all, use Alakazam's Damage Swap, leaving him with one or
two HP, send him out against something who's weakest attack still would
knock out Wobuffet. Now the bumbly, blue blob--
W: Hey! I am not bumbly!
NO: Whatever... But, anyway, as I was saying, even though
your opponent will draw a prize, you've just healed your pokemon of up to eighty
damage (unless, of course, your opponent didn't knock out Wobuffet). Plus, you
get to flip to see if they get damage. You know what's cool, though? Even
though it only took ten to knock it out, if you flip heads, your opponent takes
the full damage of their attack. Remember, the text says damage done to
Wobuffet; not, damage it took to knock out Wobuffet. Neat!
Next, um, uh...
well there is no "next". The situation described above is the only way Wobuffet
is actually useful--
W:Hey! I'm cool-lookin'
to!
NO: Wobuffet, would you please stop
interrupting me? And can't you say something other than
"Hey!"?
W: Hey! Don't tell me what I can
and can't say or do! Hey! Hey! HEY!
Nite Owl
sighs.
NO: Would it make you happy if I said
something else good about you?
W: HE-- What? Oh,
sure.
NO: Okay. Any pokemon, folks, including Wobuffet--
W: Hey!
Nite Owl glares at Wobuffet.
W: Sorry.
NO: As I was saying, any pokemon is good if you play
it from your heart.
C: Zzzzzz...
NO: Wake Up!
C: Zzz... Huh? Wha? Oh, yeh. Yaaaaaay!
NO: That's better. Anyway, I'll talk about playing from
your heart later. If any of you want to talk to me about pokemon, you can e-mail
(no hate mail, nasty stuff, etc.) me at rrwriter@hotmail.com.
Fly right,
Nite Owl
W: Hey!
Wobuffet and Nite Owl engage each other in a furious
fight. Crowd exits as the two duke it
out.
