"Okay Hida, let's take care of this hellhound! Yawn, Smog, Ancient Power and Recover as needed!"

Up for her to take it or not, though, and he shan't force it if she has her own way of treating her partner. They are there responsibility in the end, after all, and if she doesn't want the help, he'll stay out of it.
Whoops, my bad, I confused the amount of normal damage a Sitrus Berry heals with the amount of lethal damage it heals. Sorry for that!
Eh, how many points of lethal damage does a Hyper Potion heal again? I've spotted that I haven't noted that anywhere. Is it 3 points following the pattern of 1 point with a Potion and 2 with a Super Potion? If so, The we will thankfully accept the Hyper Potion from Terra and use the given Potion by the foreman to fully cure Gloom of his lethal wounds.
Quote:And in this case, you won't be able to buff yourselves up ahead of time, because you can't reach the battlefield without subjecting yourself to the Pokemon's attacks.
K, then we'll act like the orders for Lucky Chant and Howl have never happened and that Shiva will just follow Terra in order to handle the threat blocking the stream, she's very fine with him leading and stays closely behind him. Siding her are still Delphox and Primal Glaceon, asked to keep themselves ready - these two are my choice against this unknown 'Mon, so I'm ready for its reveal and an Init Order now!~
(04-08-2019, 11:59 PM)Iron Wrote: [ -> ]Yep! He just wanted to see if he was allowed to use moves now.
Sceptile currently has 3 ripe seeds that can be used as Potions on a Grass Type. He gains a new one once a day, and the oldest one rots if it hasn't been used (for simplicity's sake, no more than 3 can exist at a time. No need to keep track of which one is oldest or whatever. Just check each day if you have 3 yet.)
Gotcha! Sceptile was caught!
Overgrow
1/1/3
Has all his level up moves and Dragon Pulse.
There's no cost for adopting him since he was Evidence. Just provide a Pokeball and your Trainer ID to Director North.
Nathan claps his hands together in excitement and satisfaction. "Perfect! Glad to have you on board, Sceptile!  Just don't make attacking trainers a regular habit, alright?  We can both get in trouble for that if it isn't justifiable as self defense."
One standard Pokeball provided for Sceptile! Â Nathan also says to Director North, "Don't mind the leaves in the room. Â Sceptile did try to attack me, but I was ready for it, and he didn't attack out of spite. Â It was just a test, so I'm not going to scold him for it this time."
-------------------------------
Back on the subject of Pyroar...it's nice to see that he gets along really well with Orthros in particular.  That's a good sign.  Nathan will actually sit down and say this to Pyroar: "Ya know, Orthros wasn't always a pokemon I could completely trust, Pyroar.  I used to be worried about him potentially Disobeying my orders and hurting people.  I had to keep him on a tight leash.  After awhile, though, we both came to trust that we weren't all that bad.  He's been the sweetest thing ever since then. Sure, he's not the prettiest looking pokemon, and he definitely could still have a mean streak, but I trust him. Same with some of my other pokemon that are typically Disobedient species, Charizard included. They're not all that bad once you get to know them a little better. Same goes for you, too. Does that make sense?"
Healing moves can't heal Lethal damage under ordinary circumstances, nor even with the help of Sunstone energy.
Terra leads the way into the cave. You're greeted by the sound of a harsh CRASH! and the sight of a huge pillar of steel, a support for the mine, crashing to the ground like a fallen tree. It joins a dam of other steel and stone, with a proud Bibarel on top gnawing away at the individual pieces with no regard for their material.
There's another Pokemon inside too - a Torterra lurking in the mud, with a bunch of cave fungi growing from his shell in place of the usual bonsai tree.
They don't attack right away, but they do prepare to defend their home when they spot you.
Bibarel: (6) + 4 Dex + 4 Survival = 14
Diggersby: (3) + 7 = 10
Delphox: (2) + 7 = 9
Glaceon: (2) = 9
Torterra: (2) + 2 Dex + 4 Survival = 8

Yet again, the sagely monk's hadn't a clue as to what were the Pokemon before him (Save for the fact that one's a tortoise, and the others a rodent of some sort), but he didn't have to be Nathan to recognize they were the cause of the miner's mishap with their mason machinations. He wasted no time in dealing with the pests, pointing towards the chubby rodent builder with severe judgement, which was mirror by his luxerous lagomorph as they readied themselves to spring into action!
"
Diggersby, Swords Dance, then use Hammer Arm on big rodent until its Fainted. We leave the tortoise to Shiva.  Take it
down, before it destroy more of the mine."
Orders: Sword Dance to amp up S.Diggersby, then 3 Hammer Arms on Bibarel to utterly wail on it until its pounded into the earth like a nail into a piece of wood! If Bibarel gets low on HP (Let's say 4 remaining or less) and/or S.Diggersby gets - 2 Pain, then switch HA with Quick Attack! Terra will also Potion them if they take 4 or more Damage, at which point he'll order them to switch it up to Quick Attack. If Bibarel falls before it finishes its Action que, transfer them over to Torterra. Let's bust some dams down!
Moves:
Swords Dance
Accuracy: 9D6 Base - 4 Actions = 5D6 Base Dice
Effect: + 2 STR!
Hammer Arm
Accuracy: 12D6 Base - 1 Accuracy- 5/6/7 Actions = 6/*4/*3D6 Base Dice

Damage: 8D6 Base Damage

Pyroar understands Orthos' bonus ability implicitly, since they are both pack hunters.
He comes over and rubs his face on Nathan, who he is coming to trust more than an ordinary human.

Nathan rubs Pyroar affectionately as well. "Whenever you're ready, Pyroar, I've got a spot for you among my team of pokemon and friends, be it now or later. You can be assured of that. We'll be more than willing to welcome you with open arms."
Nathan sits down in front of Pyroar and pulls out the White Flute he made. Orthros sits next to Nathan as well, looking very happy to have gotten to spend more time with Pyroar. "Do you like music, Pyroar? I've been wanting to get into playing flutes like this for a little while, to be honest, and I know Swiftifre quite likes the sound of this flute.Â
Want to hear what it sounds like?"

It's Mightyena again, going first since initiatives have already been rolled for both!
No matter how many times you see it, Howl's sleek Mightyena is always intimidating.
