Ventus corners a Zubat (#7). Wow, this one is really tiny - just a baby, barely old enough to fly!
Initiatives:
Ventus (6)
Zubat (4)
Even when the Zubat was naught but a child, the researcher did not honesty care about its final fate or wellbeing, as he command his archangel to : "Raphael,
Air Slash on the Zubat, and do not hold back. It may be a baby, but it can still poison you all the same, so do not show it mercy."
Order: Raphael is going to use Air Slash twice per round on the baby Zubat, until its knocked out and/or dead. I suffer no annoying Poison types!
Zubat ducks and swerves just out of reach of Kirlia, taunting him.
Taunt
2 Dex + 2 Fight + 3 Intimidate (+1 is Surprise) - 3 actions = 4 dice
(4)(1)(6)(2) Swiftfire fell for the taunt!
Flame Charge
(6)(4)(5)(5)(1)(5) Crit
(5)(2)(1)(6)(2)(4) Zubat takes 3 dmg
Confusion
(2)(1)(3)(2)(5)(6)
(5)(2)(5)(3)(1) Zubat faints.
I was a bit lazy with those calcs because I was pretty sure it wouldn't even be a close match.
Pokeball: (3)(6)
Zubat was caught!
Naturally he won't be loyal or happy.
Ability is Inner Focus.
Surprise + 1 Intimidate
Knows Leech Life, Supersonic, Astonish, Bite, Wing Attack, and Taunt.
Nathan picks up the pokeball and nods. Â As easy as he'd expected it to be. Â Time to see how Grid was doing. Shouldn't be too hard to find him due to Electroweb and Swiftfire.
Quick Attack
(2)(4)(6)(2)(4)
(2)(2)(3)(1)(5)(5) Zubat takes 2 dmg. 2/4 -2
Leech Life on Plusle
2 Dex + 3 Fight + 2 -2 pain
(4)(4)(3)(1)(4)
2 Str + 1 power-2 vit = 1 dice
(6) Plusle takes 1 dmg. He doesn't even care, he's having too much fun.
Nuzzle
(5)(5)(6)(2)(2)(2)(4)
(5)(2)(5)(4)(1)(1) Zubat faints!
There's no XP for these easypeasy Zubats. But it will go into your trap-defeat XP when you reach the end of the dungeon.
Grid has also defeated a Zubat. Looks normal. Same for Froakie.
Air Slash
(2)(2)(4)(6)(3) Hit
(4)(1)(3)(6)(5) Zubat faints!
Most of the Zubat flee as their fellows are destroyed or captured. They flit into the vents, fly out toward the Genesect statue, or just hide in the dark.
The shiny one has definitely escaped by now.
The only one remaining is an extra-large Zubat (#1), cowering up near the ceiling.
Once everyone's regrouped:
Nathan recalls Swiftfire once more, as well as Starmie and Grid. Â "Dang Zubat. Â Can't avoid 'em, no matter what region you're in. Â Let's keep moving. Â We don't have any more time to waste here."
Even if Pluse was biten by that blasted bat, Plusle didn't care and jumped directly into his owner's arms together with Minun as soon as the bat fell. "Haha... You surely had your fun, right. Back into your Pokeballs, though." Shiva withdrew her rodents, called out Espurr, picked up the small stove-thingie and made haste to meet up with the others.
She was in a rather delighted mood as she did so, glad that they managed the bats together. "So... Suceeded in hunting down more poisonous bats? Oh, and sure, we better move on..."
Ventus let out a sigh of relief as his tiny obnoxious foe fell to the ground, and looked around to see that everyone was having absolutely no problem in dealing with their own Zubats. Lucifer was busying himself scaring off his remaining bat folk, hissing at them the whole time as he flapped after them a nibbling on the stragglers that didn't get the idea to scam the second time around. Raphael was by his side, looking a little worried about being surrounded by this many Poison types, even if most of them were fainted. After all, toxins are still particularly deadly for the Fairy type, regardless if the one carrying them were active or fainted!
Once that cursory investigation was conducted, he clicked his tongue to call his little drake to his side, before asking them a simple question : "Well, doubtless that the both of us are glad this Zubat flock have been taken down, but don't let your guard down just yet. [b] I need to know whether we have more threats are inbound to our current position, as these poisonous fiends have raised more than enough racket to wake even the dearly departed....." With that said, Lucifer gave them a smart salute with the wing, before the flapped away from his side to do some recon for both their master and his friends. Nothing will escape his sensitive ears; if someone or thing is coming, he WILL hear it!
Nathan's suggestion received a firm for Ven, as he re-grouped with him, Shiva, and Valder to say his piece own piece on this situation. "Agreed, we need move fast and twice the caution now. I highly doubt that the Scimitars are unaware they have intruders now, so expect active resistence or more armed defenses up ahead. I just hope that the traps don't become more fiendish than this...."
Raphael did notice the last Zubat, and just gave it a look that said 'You leave us alone, and we will leave you alone, ok?' They didn't want anymore trouble from the bats, and the archangel had the suspicion that they didn't want to provoke us either...
Plusle and Minun gain +1 Happiness. They helped with that huge battle here by giving everyone Plus and Minus. And they weren't really threatened by the battle, but got to show off, and race around.
