Arial stare back Reiner and listening all the time he was speaking. He make some serious face. When Reiner finish his speech, Arial did not show any emotion. Then after a few seconds Arial face turn to a....smile? Arial begin to snickeri for a while then he burst in laughs!

"HAhahahaahaha. Sorry! I simple can't keep the serious face for too much time! Ahahaha!" Then Arial decided to control himself. He clean a tear then finally talk again. "*Snort* I sorry. Its just...the idea is almost comically you know? You are clear more stronger than me, like a LOT. And you from all people, decided to bring this type of challenge to me, who dont stand a chance against you. I dont know if I cry or laugh now. Ahaha." Then Arial stop to laugh. "If you "boss" want to hear if my day wortly I think it is. Learn from my mistakes in my battle against Delta Muk, and got some good experience in battle. Knock out a police man to help you in your escape against Clar and avoid you been caugh, you welcome by the way, and get the chance to smug his pokemons: A Gogoat and a Smeargle. And I have follow what you instructed me to do: Learn to be social. I befriend a Ace Trainer, battle her, got some good experience in battle, and got a Alomola healer to help us in our journey to the Nuclear Factory, and for the last but not less important I have strenghed my bond with my Empirilla making him more obedient wich might be very muc uselful in our next mission. As you can see, I was very much busy too."

Then Arial clear some dust in his clotes. "And let me tell you something: You could at least warn me you girl Emily is a Meta Human. Or another person revive by Mew powers. As much I admit it is my fault, you could at least warn me about this revive thing. And let me tell you something: I indeed try to find you and do my job as a bodyguard, but I was busy trying to help your route of escape. And trying to catch a Steel Pokemon, yes that Muk was a Delta variant with Steel typing, and trying not to die by the explosion. My pokemon and myself receive serious Lethal Damage, and I have took some time to recover. Ah, as a side note too, I have heard that dark entity again, the same person who share with me the visions. He call him "Volrik the Elusive Darkness" or something like that. He kinda save me from that explosion who obliterate me. And I indeed have die in that explosion. Than...he somehow change reality or create some sort of ilusion when I was alive but...Gaspar have die..."

Arial make a pain with memory. "But than he somehow change reality again, or break the ilusion, I dont know, and have bring back both me and Gaspar from that explosion. So yeah, you was not the only one who have a bad day. Who is this Volrik guy anyway? Why he is interest in me and you? Well in you I can understand since you are Mew Choosen one, but why me? I dont have such Legendary status, I only a crazy Rocket Grunt Bodyguard. I dont have such status. Care to explain?"

And after share all this information he talk again. "After this, that "voice" have tell me the exatcly location of your battle against Clair, but I was in a bad shape along with my pokemon. With only leave me with two choices: Go to your location already in scraps and be killed, or go to a pokemon center and save my life and my pokemon. As much I your bodyguard Reiner, my family comes in first place. I have go to the pokemon center, and there I have meet Riza who inform me about the huge explosion between Z-Moves of you and Clair. And have inform me the battle have already over. Since you already have deal with Clair, and was alive, I decided to take a battle before return to the Hotel, and learn a few pokedollars to buy some healing item and pokeballs to our next mission. In my path I meet Nelly a Ace Trainer who I already told I have befriend. She even taught me some battle tips I shall put in use. She even trade with me her Alomola to mine Carracosta who she will train for a while to help her be a little more behave. And avoid hit you with Water Gun again. And that Alomola is a Cleric, so if we by chances receive damage, her powers will be very much useful."

"Oh, and I accept your challenge of pokemon battle. You should know by now that intimidated mind tricks dont work very much against a madman like me. But before we engage to our battle, let me put just a few conditions."

1 - No lethal damage. We will have a clean and honror battle. I dont want any pokemon of mine killed and I believe nor you want.

2 - Our support pokemon will only help once per round. That way you cant abuse of the suport abilities from your Eevee and I cant abuse the healing power. 

3 - Its gonna be a 6x6 in single battles. You pokemon its already powerfull and scary enough in single battles. In duals its even more scare.

4 - Each one of us can only Mega Evolve one pokemon. Even if your use a revive in your pokemon, you cannot Mega Evolve him, so keep that in mind.

Arial after told that informations he think loud. "But if is 6x6 pokemons, I am disavantage because that leave me with only 5 of mine versus 6 of yours...unless..." Then Arial look to Durendal who is in his head. "I know I may asking you much Durendal, but Reiner its a strong opponent and I might a extra pair of pincers to fight against him, and your help would be very much appreciated. But only if you want of course, but I may need your help...can you help with that buddy? It might be a good chance to fight against a strong foe and make you grown." (Reaction to that @Lord Windos!)

"And before anything let me do some preparations before sending or engaging in our battle!"

(Waitig Reiner reaction to these things Arial say @Dragonstrike!)

"...take this seriously, Arial, or I will crush you completely.  I didn't ask for the details of your day.  I'm going to give you another 30 seconds max to prepare, and that's being generous.  You wouldn't have time at all if you were in a realistic, hostile situation."

Dude, Reiner is not kidding here.  Better make it quick, before he blows his top...

......or that would be the case, if Arial hadn't cottoned on to their presence earlier and prepared himself + his Wise King accordingly, as he threw out his arm with a dramatic flourish and cried: "Now Baltazar!!!"

GTH Beedrill's Ambush Failed! Baltazar get to attack her instead, and it will lower her Initiative by 2 for the entire Gauntlet! Yeouch! Now Baltazar goes first!

Receiving the signal loud and clear, the living asteroid neatly mimicked their brother's gestures as their entire body glowed with Psychic Power, and soon the giant hornet was cloaked in the same energies as it scrambled her mind!

Counter Ambush Confusion!
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (*4) + Channel (3) + Counter Ambush (2) = 12D6 Dice!
(3)(3)(1)(4)(5)(3)(5)(4)(4)(1)(3)(6) Their focus is keen, and so is their power! Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (2) + *3 + STAB + Crit + SE - Vitality (5) = 3D6 + 1 Damage
(4)(5)(6) GTH Beedrill takes 4 Damage; 10/14 HP, - 1 Pain!
Confusion: (6) Yeap, she's Confused Alright!

Once the damage had been inflicted, the menacing stinger was then repulsed by Baltzar to Reiner's side of the field, causing her to tetter mid air several seconds in a dazed state before she was able to properly orient herself to face the telekinetic pile of space rocks. She was still Confused, and it was a terrible type match up for her, but since her cover was blown and you couldn't recall her until the next Round after the first one starts (As she was your choosen Pokémon for the first round, though she could have if your Ambush Succeeded!), she was going to have endure it all and beelieve she'll fair just fine against the Wise King!

With the Ambush Round out of the way, let the first round of The Gauntlet begin! Send/Change your orders in via PM if necessary!

(05-08-2018, 11:35 PM)Lord Windos Wrote: Seeing things were going to heat up to scorching levels soon, both Poe and Alomomola ready themselves to support their respective combatants all they can!

Support Initiative:

Poe: 6 + (5) = 11
Alomomola: 6+ (6) = 12

For Ayame vs Baltazar, Alomomola will go first, and Poe second!

The Gauntlet Round 1!

Before anyone else could even have a chance to react, Little Bro suddenly began to cheer his frail heart out for Ayame in an effort to motivate her to greater heights!

Helping Hand!
(3)(1)(4)(6)(5)(6)(6)(1)(2)(3) Procs!
Ayame's is deeply touched by Poe's cute support, and gets a + 3 Dice Buff to their next Action because of it!

Intelligent as they were, Baltazar knew that the giant hornet was going to hit them fast and hard, and also knew they couldn't KO her in short order to prevent, so he just had to settle with whittling her down by pleating her with chucks of his own body and brace themselves for one heck of a retaliatory strike!

Ancient Power 1
(4)(4)(6)(6)(5) They managed to nail her right in the head with a large rock! Critical Hit!
Damage: Same as Confusion, 3D6 + 1
(5)(3)(2) Ayame takes 2 Damage; 8/14 HP!
Effect: (6) The power of eons past flows through him! + 1 to all Attributes!

The psychic golem couldn't revel in his boost for too long, however, for soon the ninjasect darted right forward and launched a blitzkerg of piercing hits, their stingers glowing a noxious purple the entire time!

Fury Stinger!
Accuracy: *8 for the First hit, 4 for the Second, 3 for the Third
Damage: *5D6 + 1 for the first hit that lands, and *2D6 + 1 for any hit that lands afterwards due to the Defense boost that Ancient Power gave Baltazar.
1st: (3)(2)(2)(4)(6)(3)(5)(4) So close to a Crit, but still a Hit!
2nd: (6)(1)(3)(5) Hit!
3rd: (1)(2)(3) Miss!
(4)(2)(4)(1)(1)
(1)(5)
Poison Chance 1st Hit: (5)(5)(1) Nope
Poison Chance 2nd Hit: (5)(3)(2) Also Nope
Total Damage: Baltazar takes 4 Damage; 4/8 HP, - 2 Pain!

While the menacing stinger's.....well, stingers indeed hurt like being dipped in acid, the astrological wayfarer was able to tank the hit with surprising resilence! Seeing that she was left winded and wide open from her flurry of blows, they launched their own orderly assault against them by continuing where they left off: using parts of himself as telekinetic missiles!

Ancient Power 2
(4)(5) Hit!
Damage: STR (*3) + *3 + STAB + SE - Vitality (5) = 2D6 + 1 Damage
(5)(5) Ayame takes 3 Damage; 5/14 HP, - 2 Pain!

Before they could really get going, the Pain from their wounds inflicted earlier were starting to through its aim off, so the intergalactic golem decided to gather its latent power and channel it to repair themselves, before picking up its assault right where it left off! (Had to Move Recover up in order to fulfill your Actions, or try to at least!)

Recover
(5) Success! Rolling Dice = 1/2 HP !
(6)(6)(5)(2) Baltazar recovers 3 HP; 7/8 HP, No Pain!

Ancient Power 3
(4)(1) Hit!!
(6)(5) Ayame takes 3 Damage; 2/14 HP!

Ancient Power 4
(4) Hit!!!
(5)(5) Ayame crumples onto the floor as the last few pieces of Baltazar's body connect with her now thoroughly bruised carapise, letting out a weak *Bzzzz......* in protest before conking straight out!

And so the victor of the first Round of the gauntlet, floating inches off the ground as they slowly reconstructed their body from their Ancient Power barrage and surveyed the scene with calm resolve, was Baltazar! It was as they predicted: their/Arial's Techinacal Skill and strategy trumped Ayame's Stealth and hasty attacks, proving to Reiner why they were known as the Wise King.

During this lull, Alomomola proceeded to enact her master's next part of his plan by closing their eyes in prayer!

Wish
Accuracy: 11D6 Dice
(4)(5)(5)(6)(2)(1)(2)(3)(5)(2)(4) Success!
A small but brilliant orb of white light appear right in front of Alomomla, before she 'tossed' it up into the air, where it lingered briefly in mid-air before vanishing! At the end of next Round, whichever Pokémon that Arial has out will get a Basic Heal Roll!

Things have only just begun in the battle between boss and bodyguard, but already their has been an upset in expectations! Will Arial actually manage to prevail against Reiner and prove himself just as competent as they are, or is this just a MASSIVE string of luck working in his favor?

We'll find out next Round and beyond, won't we? Send in your PMs!!!

Reiner holds out a pokeball before tossing it.

"...well then, guess I need to up the ante a little.  Let's see how you handle my next pokemon.  You're in for a long, hard battle, buddy."
