Sounds like a plan! And that's how you politely handle interparty conflict, good job!

Here's some initiatives:

Ray: (6) + 9 = 15
Electabuzz: (6) + 5 Dex + 3 survival = 13
Gremlin: (5) + 6* Dex + 3 survival = 14
Gargryph: (5) + 7 = 12
Viktor: (4) + 7 = 11
Gallade: (1) + 9 = 10
Drifloon: (3) + 6 = 9 - until the gremlin is caught
Shuppet: (2) +6 = 8
Hilda: (2) +6 = 8 - after the gremlin is caught.


I'm going to give Spira a round before the Electabuzz and main party arrive, since Noire is using Ominous Wind to provide cover (and has been secretly aware of them for a while). Also, Nathan and Heart will cause the pack to alter course a bit.

There's not enough time for a true Ambush, but I'll allow charging of moves. No time to pause and do a proper buff move though.

Mika, pay attention to how I'm calculating your dice, 'cause I'll be asking you to do that in the future once you're comfortable with it.

Electabuzz Pack Round 1

Cross Poison 1
4 Dex + 3 Fight + 4 brawl -3 actions = 8d6
(4)(1)(1)(3)(2)(2) (5)(2) The gremlin sinks both teeth and claws into Drifloon's rubbery hide. He scarcely penetrates into what passes for a bloodstream in the Drifloon.
4 Str + 3 power +1 STAB -5 vitality = 3d6 dmg, -1 not very effective
(5)(4)(5) Drifloon takes 2 dmg 6/8hp -1 pain
CD: (2)
Poison Touch: (2)(6)
Drifloon became poisoned! Drifloon ate its Lum Berry and became unpoisoned and Unburdened! + 2 Dex

Amnesia 1
4 Dex (always replaces Insight in my game) + 2 Survival +2 Alert +2 Unburden -5 actions = 5d6
(6)(6)(1)(2)(3)
+2 Defense for Luna/Drifloon

Ominous Wind
4 Dex +5 Fight +2 Canalize = 11 dice
(3)(3)(2)(4)(1)(1) (3)(1)(6)(6)(2) A pretty minimal success, so Noire just succeeds in buying you this free turn alone with the chupacabra.
CD: (3)

Spira orders more attacks on the unknown gremlin, nullifying the gremlin's instinct for Pursuit. It just swipes at the balloon Pokemon as it slowly drifts closer.

Cross Poison 2
(4)(4)(2)(2)(4)(5) Critical hit!
(1)(2)(4) No damage at all from that critical hit. Drifloon is flying so high that Chupacho crits only hot exhaust air, which forms an eerie afterimage of the Pokemon.
CD: (4)
Poison Touch: (5)(4)

Ominous Wind 2
11 dice, -6th action, -1 pain, +2 Unburden dex = 6d6
(6)(5)(6)(5)(4)(2) The wind bowls the little gremlin over and makes him withdraw his fangs.
3 Str + 2 power +1 STAB bonus -2 Vitality +2 crit = 6d6 dmg
(3)(4)(1)(3)(3)(4) Chupacho takes 2 dmg 3/5hp -1 pain
CD: (1)

Chupacho starts leaping higher and higher to reach Drifloon.
Agility 3
(2)(3)(4)(2)
+2 Dex for Chupacho

Gust 3
6* Dex + 5 Fight +2 canalize -7 actions -1 pain = 5d6
(6)(6)(5)(6)(3)
3 Str + 2 power -2 vit = 3d6
(4)(4)(1) Chupacho takes 2 dmg 1/5hp -3 pain.

The strange trainer throws one of the pale, sepia-tone Pokeballs.

Pokeball seal strength: (5)(1)
Will: 6, -3 pain: (4)(1)(1)

Gotcha! Chupacho was caught!
1 Happiness, 0 Loyalty, 3 disobedience
Ability: Poison Touch
Moves: Leech Life, Pursuit, Feint, Poison Fang, Agility, Knock Off, Cross Poison

Gallade slides to a stop between the Electabuzz pack and the Ghost type trainer, his blades extended.  He's going to give these Electabuzz what for!  Instead of immediately using his blades, though, he points at a healthy looking Electabuzz and uses...

Confusion x4
Acc: 6* Dex + 3 Fight + 3 Canalize - 4/5/6/7 Actions = 8/7/6/5 D6
Dmg: 2 Power + 4 Str + STAB + Clamperl Pearl = 8 D6
Effect: Confusion (1)



Ray, meanwhile, does what he does best.  Lighting up the entire battlefield with his mere presence!

FLASH 1
Acc: 6* + 3 + 3 - 4 Actions = 8 D6
Effect: -3 Acc and temporary blindness for up to 5 Electabuzz!  Bzzzzt!

Power Gem 2-4
Acc: 12 - 5/6/7 = 7/6/5/4 D6
Dmg: 3 + 4 + STAB = 8 D6




Target Priority: After Ray uses FLASH, hit the non-blinded Electabuzz first (if any).

Electabuzz Pack Round 2

Primal Bulbasaur's stony petals open to reveal his pink geode heart in all its dazzling glory!

Flash 1
(5)(5)(1)(6)(1)(1) (4)(1)
-3 accuracy for all the Electabuzz!

The Pack all expend action 1 to rub at their eyes, grumbling in gravelly apelike voices. This is not a flinch nor a status. It's more like the process of removing Knockdown.
The Electabuzz are now unblinded. They've also closed the distance to Shuppet and Slugma.

Cosmic Power 1
(3)(1)(3)(5)(2)(5) (4)
+1 Defense for Gargryph. The gargoyle spreads its wings and absorbs warm energy from space!

(1)(4)(3) Electabuzz A takes 1 dmg 7/8hp

CD: (6) Electabuzz B became confused

Ominous Wind 1
(4)(6)(5)(5)(6)(4) (3) Critical hit.

(6) Electabuzz B takes 1 dmg 5/8hp -1 pain
(3)

Geodude has disappeared under Terra's watch, at the same time Viktor disappeared! A few seconds later, though, some mud churns and the center Electabuzz is pulled partway into the earth by two mighty rocky fists!

Power Gem 1
(6)(4)(4)(6)(5)(2) Critical hit.
(5)(6)(1)(4)(2)(3) Electabuzz A takes 3 dmg 4/8hp -2 pain

The first two Electabuzz climb the nearby shade trees and raise fists to the sky, and lightning bolts lance down out of a warm sky to strike their fists! The trees crackle and burst into flames as scars trace their way from crown to earth. Then their collected energy snaps out at the nearest Pokemon.

Viktor narrows his eyes at the harming of trees.

Thunderbolt 2A on Viktor
5 Dex + 4 Fight + 4 canalize -4th action -2 pain -3 acc = 4d6
(6)(6)(2)(5)
5 Str + 3 power +1 stab-4 vit = 5d6-1

The next two Electabuzz hurl motes of zipping energy at Slugma and Shuppet.

Electro Ball 2D
(6)(4)(4)(3)(1)(1)
(2)(5)(1) Shuppet takes 1 dmg 7/8hp

The final Electabuzz is intercepted by Gallade, setting blades against the long iron pipe. In Electabuzz's hands, it crackles with power. He wields it in the middle, spinning it around and trying to swat Gallade with both ends.

Dual Chop 2 & 3 E
(3)(3)(2)(4)(5) Hit
(1)(5)(1)(4) Barely hit.
5 Str + 2 power -3 vit = 4d6

Ingrain 2

Viktor plants his roots, joining in communication with the burning tree to try to strengthen it or draw strength to defend it.

Gallade strikes back at the Electabuzz closing with him. He feints with his blades and strikes with his mind.

Electabuzz is the same speed as himself.
(6)(5)(6)(1) -1 Electabuzz B takes 2 dmg 3/8hp -2 pain.

Electabuzz D snaps his stick in half, a show of intimidation. Then he flexes his arms and sends a Discharge in all directions, not caring that he's striking his own allies. (Terra, Shiva, and Dizzy are safely off the battlefield).

The umbrella, strangely, is undamaged. The pipe is bent, the branch is snapped, and the timothy hay is very trampled and damaged.

Terra's charges are all unharmed.

"Thanks for your help there. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't come." He reaches his hand out to the duo, "The name's Spira, how about I whip up some of my Gastly Stew as thanks."
