Pyra, not at all happy with the big, armored bug attacking her dear friend and stealing her food, decides the best course of action is to fry the offendor to a crisp!
Ember 1
1* + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 Action - 1 Pain = 3d6
(6)(6)(3)
(6)(6)(6) Forretress takes 5 damage!! 2/7 HP -2 Pain
(1)
(...)
Bite 2 (Pyra)
1* + 3 + 1 - 1 Pain - 4 Actions = 0
Pyra is fully Paralyzed!
Marcus and Pyra whiffing their last two moves doesn't matter, though, as a 1 HP Forretress isn't going to last very long against 5 relatively healthy opponents, one of which is a Fire type that it cannot possibly hope to KO. It begins to slowly back off, retreating towards Conkeldurr, but never turning away from the party in an effort to defend its leader.
Victory! Everyone gets 4 exp for wiping the floor with Conkeldurr and Co.! Everyone also gets a surge of confidence that grants them 1 Will Point!
*Previously On The Conk Squad Pre Fight!*
For the record here in the Game Thread and for posterity's shake too, I'll describe Pyra's general take on Conk and Co's belligerence and her party's attempts at Diplomacy with them. In short, Pyra would've have IMMEDIATELY been alarmed the sight of the Fighting types and their groupies upon contact, which would quickly turn to hostility and contempt once they make it clear their intentions.
She'd probably have tried to attack Conk in swift retaliation, but stays her claws as her friends tried their own appendages at negotiating peace and right of passage by them instead. However, it's abundantly clear that she only humoring their attempt out of deference and love/respect for them, a blank smile on her face as she looks completely disinterested in the proceedings with a ' this is futile/pointless, but I'm standing by just for
you all ' airy attitude, borderlining on the point of condescending compassion. Already she had written them off as enemies based on the fact that Conk and Co were Wild Pokemon only
barely civilized, and the following impression only solidified the idea that their would be no accord with this rowdy, uncooperative bunch. Only the language of
violence would get through their thick skulls that messing with Team
Omega Seekers was a Bad Idea ® .
Once they proved her entirely correct, Pyra would drop the thinned veil pretense of tolerance and simply issue that afformentioned taunt, putting on her Serious Face and readied herself melt a hole in that Forrestress.
*Now Onto The Current Scene!*
The brimstone imp would be completely fearless of Conk and Combustion presence, despite the former singling her out to be taken out by 3/4 of their 'team', staring at the concrete bruiser and
smiling at them oh so
endearingly, as if to say 'Come at me~!' If the wanted to so badly challenge her, so fearful and disdainful of her Intimidating and uncaring visage,
she'd welcome them with open arms and bared teeth. After all, the more they focused on her, the less they were able to handle and deal with her beloved friends assault,
oh yes. She could handle a beating and blast right back just fine, regardless of if it was Super Effective! And if she was wrong, that was where her Tiny Reviver Seeds were for, te he he!
Mighty builder's kick to the stomach
did earn him high pitched 'Ooohmph!' and nearly made her lose her breath, but she shook off the hit with ease and continued to GRIN at him menacing at him, entirely uncowed. Heck, she even
giggled at him! Nice shot, big boy, but not
nearly enough to take her down. In fact, it looks like your lot is about to eat dirt instead, te he he!
As for the ironclad insect, she'd just leaped forward to latch her mouth onto one of its protruding hole-spike and simply
breathe fire down it, thoroughly scorching their insides like a caramelized piece of fruit. Only fitting, for the Apple snatching,
Karen harming thief.
Her second attack not going through due to her Paralysis earns herself a frown of contemplation and mild annoyance. Before, she was not too bothered by the tingling Status - in fact, she was growing to
enjoy it, despite how it hampered her - but if it was preventing her from utilizing her full potential in battles then perhaps it more of a problem than she thought. Nothing she could do about it
now, but it'll certainly be something to plan for in the future, indeed.
It should also be noted that she paid zero attention to Conk's protests, as she frankly didn't care about them or him (Least of all him). Only thing he was worth was the practice her friends was getting beating the plaster off of.
And before too long, the battle was over, with herself and her friends (+ Marcus) the overwhelming victors! Her smile became absolutely
ferocious with delight at seeing the Forrestress slink off to their thoroughly battered leader, looking at the two with unchecked superiority and not a little vindictive malice. Oh, look at you now. Once so mighty, solid and Tough as the pillars you wielded, now reduced to a gasping, nearly broken man stubbornly,
futliy clinging to consciousness. How utterly,
utterly FITTING.
The she demon would've approached Conk to lord this observation over and do perhaps
more, but once again she was cut off, this time by Marcus' furious rebuttal and Karen's own way too kind anger at it. Perhaps her Paralysis was to blame again for this?
His subsequent explanation and the revelation he brought......did nothing to deter her current attitude at
all. Really,
nothing they could say or offer would make her gain even the most minute
shred of compassion and care for them at this point, or give her pause. She simply sauntered forward to the now
pathetic Fighting type with that
smile on her face, staring down at him with
Dark, pitiless bemusement after Kogeki has said his piece.
"Oh, is that
so, Might
less Conkeldurr? Believe rather firmly and rightly you are in
no position to make such bluster, such
pointless, futile posturing. Should be asking for mercy, clemency and forgiveness for thy belligerent transgressing, oh
yes."
At this point she shrugs nonchalantly, a devil may care air now about her.
"If thou and your half melted friend persist so foolishly, desire most
earnestly for a befitting and
well deserved fate...."
She raises a claw at Conkeldurr, ready to Strike him down. Embers trailing down her lips to, just for Forrestress.
Smiling all the while.
"
I s h a l l g r a n t t h y w i s h e s ."
They Dug the hole they were in, so now they must
lie in it.
Order: Well if they
insist on being prideful idiots, Pyra is MORE than willing to take them to task for it. However, I fully expect the party to stop her, as by this point I know most of you won't allow me
that much without pulling teeth from a hen. If not that, then Marcus and Karen most certainly would, I think.
