[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[no one]

The moment he sees the Thundurus, bile rises in Daxter's throat. He struggles to keep the Moomoo Milk down as he looks around in terror. "We have to fight that? What the hell is that?"

He looks sharply at the Zeraora. "I'm not entirely sure I have a reason not to just grab Braixen and make a run for it. It's been a bit of an eventful day so I forgot about it but I remember now. Braixen's only here because you captured someone. In a way, you got her into this, mate, and by extension, all of us. Really struggling to come up with a reason to stick around and help you."

He continues glaring at the Zeraora and then sighs. "Fuck it. Don't think I have it in me to just leave you to something like that. I'll help, but you better drop that tough guy act afterwards. You're scary and you look tough but I'm slowly getting to the point at which I'll just stop giving a crap."

He then turns to his team. "Snom, your time to shine again, love. Powder Snow on the arrogant fucker. Rowlet, not a whole lot you can do here. it's got clouds around it so I think it's a flying type as well as electric which means that nothing you can hit it with is gonna do a whole lot. Use Peck to try and get in its way a bit. Just try to stop him from getting to the rest of us. You might take a beating but you might also help us win. Dedenne, don't think your electric type moves are gonna be much use here. Just whack him however you see fit. Same with your ground type moves, Bunnelby. As for me, back to the Ice Fang and Bubble combination, I guess."

VS Axel Round 1

"Believe me, I'd love to butt out, but someone has apparently decided I can't."

Xatu simply shakes his head.  "You won't be finding what you're looking for here."

"Nya, nobody asked you, birdbrain.  Now let me outta here already!"

Axel lunges at Xatu, hoping to dispel whatever barrier the sage has raised!

Xatu merely raises a single wing right before the speedy Fire type impacts into him.

Xatu's Protect 1
Xatu is protecting himself!

Extreme Speed 1 on Xatu
Axel bounces off of Xatu's protection!

"Yeowch!  Why you little...!"

Axel doesn't get much time to finish that thought, because now Karen, Rolycoly, and Team Gallop all get to lay into the thief!

"Yeeeeowch!  What was that for?!"

"There's more where that came from!  Blitzle!  Mudbray!"

"I'm definitely not going to miss this time!"

"One walloping, coming right up!"

Ponyta charges right at Axel, confident they're going to land a decisive blow!

Flame Charge 1
(6)(6)(4)(5)(4) Critical hit!  Except...
Axel's Flash Fire absorbs the attack!  +1 d6 to Axel's Fire moves.

...only for Axel to laugh right in the horse's face.

"Ahahahaha!  Using Fire on a Fire type?  Don't make me laugh!  Do you know how many times that's been tried on me before?  My crew isn't called the Blazing Bandits for nothing!"

Blitzle and Mudbray quickly shut up his gloating.

Despite being paralyzed, Axel still seems to be incredibly fast!  And this time, he's cloaked in intense flames that seem to be amplifying his speed even further!

"Nyaaaaaa...okay, fine!  Guess I'll need to dip into my rations for this one."

Axel reaches into a pouch slung across his back and pulls out a Cheri Berry, munching on it to remove his Paralysis.

Xatu, meanwhile, has just been watching the proceedings passively.  That doesn't mean he isn't involved, however.

"And it should be coming right about..."

Future Sight 2
Axel takes 5 damage! 26/40 HP -1 Pain

"Nyaaaaaaaaa!!!  What the...?!"

"...now.  Thieves always get their due in due time."

"You're going to regret that, birdbrain!"

Xatu simply chuckles.  Team Gallop all snicker as well.

A rather gravelly chuckle comes from Rolycoly as well.

Karen facepalms when Ponyta's attack is absorbed by Flash Fire. As for when everyone is having a laugh at Axel's expense, Karen is too focused on removing him from the situation to join in on the laughing.

(OOC: you can take your time on this until getting the other fights started. Just wanted to get the reactions up before I forgot.)

[Dragonstrike]

VS Tornadus Round 1

"I am the Winter Blizzard, and no mortal pokemon can hope to match my power!"

Tornadus holds up a hand, and begins gathering energy to create a small windstorm in it.  The wind barrier protecting him seems to become stronger as he does so.

Tornadus Charges 1

"That doesn't look good!  We need to stop him!"

Bubble Beam 1
(3)(3)(2)(1)(3)(3)

Keldeo attempts to breach the windy barrier with a stream of bubbles, but the wind simply blows them all away.

"Pathetic.  Such pitiful attacks can never hope to best me."

"Then how about this?!"

Emolga lunges at Tornadus, aiming to slow him down.

Nuzzle 1
(6)(4)(2)(1)(1)
(5)(4)
Tornadus takes 2 damage!
28/30 HP
But he is not paralyzed!  The wind barrier protects him, reducing the damage he takes by 1 and nullifying all secondary effects that directly affect him!

The wind barrier appears to be protecting Tornadus to some degree, as Emolga is thrown aside by the force of the gale before he can do anything meaningful to the Legendary pokemon.

"Hmph.  Not bad, I'll give you that.  But you still stand no chance."

Madame Twintales looks around at the snow, then decides on a course of action.

"This blizzard shall be your downfall, Tornadus.  You have made a grave error in trespassing on territory that I am warding."

"In what manner?"

"This!"

She unleashes a wave of rainbow colored energy that bounces off of all the individual snowflakes filling the room, creating a protective aurora between the party and Tornadus!

Aurora Veil 1
(6)(1)(1)(1)(6)(2)(6)
An aurora is protecting Team OS and their allies!
-1 Damage from all of Tornadus's attacks for 4 Rounds!

Hoopa is stuck in the Prison Bottle, waiting to be released.

Meanwhile, Team OS begins enacting their plan.  Kee tries to take control of the situation, giving Platina orders in an attempt to give her something to do other than P A N I C!!!  Platina may not understand the exact meaning of Kee's words, but she can at least try to dig through Kee's bag to find these items.  It's a really big bag though...

Gonna roll a die to see which item Platina pulls out first since she's P A N I C K E D.  (1), (2), or (3), it's the Quick Orb.  (4), (5), or (6), it's the Djinn's Bottle.

(4)

As instructed, Platina pulls this incredibly elaborate purple and yellow bottle out of Kee's bag.  Seeing such a beautiful piece of pottery in Kee's bag is...strange to say the least.  But she does as she was told and pops the cork on the top.

Purple mist begins to billow out of the bottle, eventually taking the shape of the familiar to some Hoopa!

"Aaaaaaah, fresh air!  And a new ultra powerful pokemon to beat up too!  Ooooooo, this is gonna be good!"

Tornadus's eyes go wide when he sees this.

"The Imprisoned One!  What are you doing here?!"

"Hehehehehe!  Surprised to see little old me?  Last I checked, you and your lot were just as imprisoned as I am, no?  Come on, let's settle this for old times' sake!"

Madame Twintales blinks.  "The Imprisoned One...?  What in Kyurem's name does that mean?"

Hoopa winks at her.  "It means you have a very powerful ally on your side.  Just give me a moment to refocus."

In the meantime, Kee and Kogeki are preparing to go on the attack!

Bulk Up 1
(4)(3)(6)(1)(2)
Kogeki's Strength and Defense increase by 1!

Snarl
(3)(1)(2)(3)(5)(2)(4)
(1)(1) No damage
Tornadus's wind barrier protects his Special from being lowered!
The wind barrier takes 1 Plot Device damage and weakens slightly!

Tornadus raises an eyebrow, but continues charging his attack.  "Curious..."

Kogeki then suddenly lunges forwards, ready to deliver a powerful one-two punch to the Blizzard Incarnate!

Quick Attack 2 and Shadow Punch 3
(4)(1)
0 dice in the accuracy pool, which does matter.  Shadow Punch fails because it has no accuracy dice.
(2)(2)
No damage from Quick Attack, but the wind barrier takes 1 Plot Device damage, weakening it even more!

Tornadus continues charging his attack, but he's looking a little more suspicious of what's going on now...

Tornadus Charges 2

"Alright then, if no mortal pokemon can stand up to you, then how about the power of another Legendary?  Guide my sword, my mentors, and smite injustice where it stands!"

Keldeo does the cool action hero thing of yelling his signature attack as his horn glows with energy and doubles in size!

SACRED SWORD!! (2)
(4)(5)(1)(2)
(6)(4)(5)(1)
Sacred Sword ignores the wind barrier's damage reduction!
Tornadus takes 2 damage!
26/30 HP
The wind barrier takes 1 plot device damage and dissipates!

Keldeo leaps into the air, bringing his now razor sharp horn down on Tornadus's wind barrier and slashing it to pieces!  Tornadus recoils slightly, but continues charging his attack.

"OOF!!  So, you do have some fight in you after all.  Hmph.  Very well."

"Alright, let's goooo!  He's vulnerable!  Attttaaaaaaack!!!!"

Emolga charges at Tornadus again, entirely cloaked in a ball of electricity!

Spark 2
(1)(2)(5)
(6)(5)(5)
(6)(2)(2)
Tornadus takes 4 damage and is paralyzed!
22/30 HP
Tornadus's concentration is broken!

Tornadus clenches his fists as electricity crackles up and down his body, slowing his movements.  The wind he was gathering in his hand scatters to the four corners of the room.

"You have underestimated us, Tornadus.  And now we shall send you back to whence you came!"

Ice Beam 2
(3)(2)(2)(4)(2)
(2)(6)(4)(3)
(5)
Tornadus takes 3 damage!
19/30 HP
-1 Pain

Hoopa suddenly appears out of a portal behind Tornadus while he's distracted!

Astonish
(5)(6)(5)(5)(5)(5)(4)(1)(1)
Critical hit!
(2) | (6)(4)
(6)(3)(2)
Tornadus takes 2 damage and Flinches!
17/30 HP
-1 Pain

Hoopa quickly retreats back into the portal they summoned, laughing the entire time.  "Hehehehehe!  Not so tough are you now, big boy?  Bet you wish you weren't so limited in your capabilities, huh?  Doesn't feel good, does it?"

Tornadus glares at Hoopa as his opponents takes their remaining actions.  He's beginning to slow down a lot more, but he's far from out of this fight.

  Platina continues to dig through Kee's bag, and finally finds the Quick Orb that the Zigzagoon mentioned.  She smashes the orb and triggers its effects!  Everyone suddenly seems to feel lighter on their feet, and they appear to be slightly blurry as they move around!
+1 Dexterity for Team OS and their Allies for the rest of the encounter

Keldeo propels himself at Tornadus with jets of water, Emolga attempts to fly circles around Tornadus, and Madame Twintales summons the natural magics of the palace to attack the Legendary with a light that glows like the moon!

Aqua Jet 3
(1)(2)(6)
(6)(3)(3)
Tornadus takes 1 damage
16/30 HP

Tornadus Flinches 3

(3)(2)

Moonblast 3

(4)(4)(2)(6)

13/30 HP
-1 Pain
Tornadus's Special is reduced by 1!

"ENOUGH!!!!"

Tornadus's shout echoes throughout the chamber, accompanied by the faint sound of...

...breaking glass?

Suddenly, Tornadus is wrapped in wind again, but it's not just a barrier this time.

It's what can only be described as a cocoon.

As the Legendary withdraws into this protective state, the walls seem to become extra reflective, warping the surroundings until it's difficult to tell which direction is up, down, left, right...

And just as suddenly, the party finds themselves in the room again.  Except something's not right...

Emolga's the first to notice.

"Hey uh...wasn't the big door behind Tornadus?  Why is it behind us now?"

Hoopa recognizes what this means immediately.

"We're in the mirror world!  Quick, everyone find cover!"

The room begins to shake as the storm cocoon surrounding Tornadus begins to intensify.  Three large icicles big enough to hide behind fall from the ceiling and embed themselves in the floor.  Everyone does as instructed and hides behind one of them as Tornadus bursts out of the cocoon, shrieking like a bird of prey!

The Winter Blizzard: VS Kushala Daora - Monster Hunter Rise Version

"KAKAAAAAAAAAWWWW!!!"

The bleak, frigid winds of the cocoon rip through the entire room, blasting the icicles everyone is hiding behind with tremendous force!

The now winged, bird-like Tornadus hovers in the center of the room, their feathered appendages creating powerful bursts of wind with every flap.  Razor sharp talons glint in the light dancing between snowflakes.

And he is once again wrapped in a powerful barrier of wind.

Except this one is laced with large amounts of shadowy energy that are turning the winds black, and it looks even tougher than the previous barrier was.

Tornadus looks no worse for wear, and the powerful winds that had just been unleashed seem to have completely dissipated the Aurora Veil as well.
Upon Transformation, Tornadus's Regenerator removes all negative effects and recovers 10 HP.  He also gains +1 Dex, +1 Defense, and +1 Special Defense, but -1 Strength and Special.

"I am Blizzard Incarnate, the Therian of Winter!  My western winds shall cover this land, bringing snow and ice!  Let the Bleakwind Storm rage on!"



VS Therian Tornadus Initiatives
Therian Tornadus: (6)+9 = 15 (23/30 HP)

VS Thundurus Round 1

Dedenne, noticing there's a lot of static electricity in the air, decides to try and use that to her advantage by gathering it around herself!

Charge 1
(5)(4)(3)(3)(1)
Dedenne's Sp Def increases by 1 and her next Electric move gets +2d6!

"I can give you one good reason that you have to participate in this fight.  Until this Thundurus goes down, we're all stuck in this room."

With that said, Zeraora lunges at Thundurus with plasma covered fists again!

Plasma Fists 1
(6)(4)(5)(3)(4)(5)(4)(3)
Critical hit!
4 Pow + 3 Str + STAB - 3 Def = 5d6
(4)(5)(5)(4)(4) | (3)(2)
Thundurus takes 4 damage!
26/30 HP
The lightning barrier takes 1 Plot Device damage!
The lightning wrapping around Thundurus reduces the damage Thundurus takes by 1 and nullifies all secondary effects that would directly affect him.
The lingering plasma from Zeraora's fists turn all Normal type moves into Electric type until the end of Zeraora's next action!

"This is for Lord Raikou, you bastard!!!"

Despite the barrier partially shielding Thundurus from the blow, Zeraora manages to land a solid punch to Thundurus's jaw.

The genie grimaces briefly and scowls at the electric cat.  He holds a hand aloft, and lightning begins to gather into a ball in it!

"You are strong, retainer.  But you are not strong enough!  I am the Autumn Storm!  My lightning shall destroy all that it touches!"

Thundurus Charges 1

"No...no, I am not going to stand idly by and watch this happen..."

Braixen suddenly brandishes her stick and uses it to surround Thundurus in flame!

Fire Spin 1
(4)(3)
3 Spe + 2 Pow + STAB - 3 Sp Def - 1 Rain = 2d6
(6)(4)
Thundurus takes 1 damage!
25/30 HP
The lightning barrier takes 1 plot device damage!
Thundurus is surrounded by spinning flames!

Thundurus staggers briefly as Braixen, who he had been ignoring completely up until now, lands a surprisingly effective blow.  "It can't be..."

"I came out here to try and make a difference.  I am not going to let you get away with this!"

"That's the spirit!  Let's keep up that momentum!"

Leer 1
Thundurus's lightning barrier nullifies the effect!

Thundurus just glares back at Bunnelby.  "Cheap intimidation tricks do not work on me, mortal."

Rowlet takes the opportunity to try and land a blow on Thundurus with Peck from behind since Thundurus hasn't tried to attack anyone directly yet.

Peck
(6)(5)(4)(2)(2)(1)(1)
(-)(-)

...but the lightning barrier gets in the little owl's way, and Thundurus simply bats them aside.  "You'll have to try harder than that!"

Daxter takes the opportunity to flank Thundurus from a completely different angle!

Ice Fang 1
(6)(2)(3)(2)
(3)
(-)(-)
(-)(-)
Thundurus takes no damage, but the lightning barrier takes 1 Plot Device damage and dissipates!

Daxter forces his teeth past the crackling electricity to bite a chunk out of Thundurus's arm.  While Thundurus takes no physical damage from the attack, he instantly notices that Daxter somehow broke his barrier.

"...so it is true.  Humans once again walk among our kind!"

"Wait, humans?  You mean..."

"Well I'll be darned..."

"Save your revelations for later!  We have a battle to win!"

Snom's Powder Snow drives that point home, as it's the first regular attack that does real harm to Thundurus now that his barrier is down!

Powder Snow
(6)(2)(6)(1)(1)(1)(4)
(4)(1)
(1)
Thundurus takes 2 damage!
23/30 HP
Thundurus's concentration is broken!

The lightning that had been gathering in Thundurus's hand flashes and vanishes as he takes a blow that hasn't been softened by the barrier!

"Urgh!  You're putting up more of a fight than I thought you would.  So be it!"

"You might command lightning, but I bet you aren't immune to it!  Take this!"

"And this!"

Quick Attack 2
(4)(1)
The lingering plasma makes the attack Electric type!
(4)(5)
Thundurus takes 2 damage!
21/30 HP

Bunnelby's attack almost literally becomes lightning fast due to Zeraora's Plasma Fists, but it lessens the damage of the move because Bunnelby isn't accustomed to attacking with electricity.  It still has a noticeable impact however!

Charge Beam 2
(6)(6)
3 Spe + 2 Pow + STAB + 2 Charge - 3 Sp Def = 5d6
(6)(6)(5)(6)(3)
(6)(3)(6)(1)(1)
Thundurus takes 4 damage!
17/30 HP -1 Pain
Dedenne's Special increases by 1!

Dedenne's Charged Charge Beam charges her power even more after landing a very much charged blow on the Legendary!

Zeraora follows up with another punch!

Thunder Punch 2
(1)(1)(2)(3)(6)(3)

Thundurus anticipates this blow and catches Zeraora's fist, then bites into the cat's arm!

Crunch 2
(6)(5)(5)(2)(1)
3 Pow + 3 Str - 2 Def = 4d6
(5)(4)(5)(1)
Zeraora takes 3 Lethal damage!
5/5* HP
-1 Pain

Zeraora yowls in pain as Thundurus tosses them aside.  "Did you seriously think that you could match me in strength, retainer?  You are nothing but a lowly..."

Braixen doesn't let him finish that sentence.

Psybeam 2

Thundurus takes 1 damage and becomes Confused!

And Daxter follows up with a strong Bubble!

Thundurus takes 2 damage!

14/30 HP -1 Pain

Thundurus clutches at his head, disoriented slightly after Braixen's last attack.  Though she seems to be unpracticed in actual combat, she appears to be holding her own quite admirably.

A fact not lost on Thundurus as he tries to target her with his next attack.

Shock Wave 3
(6)(2)(3)(1*)(1*)
Shock Wave might not be able to miss, but 0 successes while Confused means...
Thundurus hurts itself in its Confusion and takes 1 damage!
13/30 HP
-1 Pain

Zeraora staggers to his feet, clutching his arm in pain.  As he starts to ready himself for another attack, though, he pauses.  Something in the air...changed.

And everyone else in the party can feel it too.

The air almost feels...charged.

Thundurus roars.

"THIS ENDS NOW!"

Lightning begins to strike Thundurus's surroundings, each strike accompanied by the sound of breaking glass.  The flashes of light disorient everyone, making it difficult to tell what's up, down, left, right...

"Watch out!  I have a bad feeling about this!"

Braixen's shout comes as the lightning strikes fell three trees large enough to hide behind, and Thundurus explodes with the force of a thunderstorm that sears the bark of the unfortunate trees even further.

He roars again as one last lightning bolt strikes him directly, but this time it can be only be described as a hissing mixed with the crackle of electricity.  His long tail rattles with the sound of 1000 lightning strikes, his arms have become large; sharp claws, and his demeanor and posture have become decidedly more serpentine.

The Autumn Storm: VS Zinogre - Monster Hunter Rise Version

"Hihizzzzzzzzz!!!"

Despite being struck directly by lightning, Thundurus looks to be in near perfect condition again.  

Upon transformation, Thundurus's Volt Absorb recovers 10 HP, all negative effects currently affecting him are dispelled, and he gains +1 Special but -1 Strength and Dexterity.

The lightning strike also seems to have restored and strengthened the lightning barrier.  The lightning appears to have turned black with shadowy energy.

"I am Storm Incarnate, the Therian of Autumn!  My lightning shall shock and scar all foolish enough to stand against it!  None can control the Wildbolt Storm!"

VS Therian Thundurus Round 1
The rain continues to fall.

[Lord Windos]

Staring down the newly Ascended Tornadus Therian with wide, shocked eyes, glancing over to the side at The Imprisoned Genie Hoopa she unwittingly unleashed, and witnessing the sheer POWER and chaos all these Legends were capable of was a deeply unnerving and disorienting experience for a very out of sorts birdy. Were it not for the Persim Scarf insulating her she'd be Confused on top of being in the throughs of P A N I C and deep spiritual discomfort.

How...was she supposed to help her Team against a Legendary Incarnate. Fighting the Pokemon Gods....it was blasphemy. Pure foolishness. Utter suicide. What good would come of contesting them, let alone the gall meting out discipline, if it would just end in your ruin at the best?

And yet....her Team was doing exactly that. Fiercely resisting the Divine Majesty of this Therian God, challenging It, and succeeding. Pushing it all the way into a corner until it had to Ascend to re-balance things into Its favor, and all without suffering a scratch in the process! Was this due the Might, Tenacity, and Cleverness of Humanity foretold in legends, or was her companions that strong and brave to face The Pokemon Gods so unflinchingly?

Herself, on the other had, did almost nothing. Too rightfully cowed by the Blizzard Incarnate to do anything but clumsily follow Kee's lead and pray to her Gods all of them would be preserved. What could she do, though? Should she do anything more blasphemous than she has?

....Somehow, though, she found her feet dragging herself out of cover to face Tornadus, spreading her glittering wings wide as she shouted out to Them.

"Oh Blizzard Incarnate, Oh Therian God Tornadus, why do you act like this? Trespassing on another God's Domain, acting so beneath yourself and your station....what reason compels you to be so dishonorable?"

What in the Dragon Gods name was she doing? Why was she trying to grab Tornadus' attention and provoke them?! Yet she couldn't stop herself - some part of her, after seeing her companions give it their all...it would not allow her to be so feeble and craven. If it resulted in her being Struck Down, so be it. Her pride, her lineage, and her Will would no longer allow others to do what she should have done in the first place: Fight.

Orders: I'll have Platina try to aggro/rile up Tornadus with a Contest Etiquette Speech (Not sure what Social Attribute to Use here - Beauty or Cool would be preferred, if possible), and regardless...try to shock the God to their senses as her second Actions. Will this be DOOM for her, or will she show that she can have as much of an impact as her friends?

...Now THAT was a fight and battle much to Ziggy Kee's liking; challenging, prone with obstacles to overcome, a foe much bigger and stonger that he alone could have been right now, friends and allies to fight alongside, and not too much chaos! to loose one's head, at least in the crittercoon's case. Despite everything, and despite the adrenaline and intrusive thoughts coming in waves, he somehow manages to stay at least semi-concentrated enough to keep cool and confident in order to bring this fight to a POSITIVE end, including freeing the now-transformed Blizzard Incarnate from the shadowy energy.

He was too far away from Tornadus themselves to properly attack however (that, or too focused on not loosing his focus, or possibly even both), resulting in Kee being among the last one's if not THE last one to land a proper damaging hit, causing him to step aside and lend his friends and their actions at least a helping and aiding hand where he could - if it were not for the case of Platina basically presenting herself on the not-so-figurative silverplate and claiming the title of today's easy target. ...Was that a smart action part of her cleverly-laid-out plan or was she simple oblivious about how much little to no impact an attempt to talk had on a being plagued by shadow energy? None of Kee's brain cells knew the answer, but what they DID know was that he could not just stay there and watch her potentially signing and underlining her downfall, Kee SWORE to himself that he'll give whatever he could if it meant that he was able to protect those important to him.


Taking aim, positioning himself, awaiting the just-right moment, then POUNCING the hell out of himself just in front of Platina in an attempt of a Headbutt Clash of an Attack that's targeting her! (Say, he'll disregard his own safety in order to nullify the first attack from Torny that targets Platina. Maaaybe and possibly not the most productive action that contributes to the fight, but very very in-character for Kee. Will Point added for some extra power.)

2 Strength + 2 Fight + 2*Clash thanks to the Solar Battery he's wearing as an Accessoire - 2 Actions + 1 Willpoint added = 5d6


He's not done yet though, taking the opportunity and making the most of it, he makes SURE that both Tornadus and every single snowflake of the area hears about him voicing his displeasure and fighting spirit!!1 (Say, he'll attempt to somehow influence/damage the newly-set-up shadowy-energy veil just like he did in the previous Round, and if that on't do it aim for Tornadus themselves, or whatever remains of them once Kee gets to this second Action of his. Another Will Point added for once more extra power.)

Accuracy Roll: 4*Dext + 2 Fight + 1 Channel - 1 Inaccuracy - 4 Actions + 1 Willpoint = 3d6
Damage Roll: 2 Special + 2 Power + STAB = 5d6
Additional notes: Soundbased, autolowers Torny's Special by 1 once the veil is broken.

Daxter's eyes narrow as he stares at the Thundurus. "Delcatty's out of the bag, then, eh? Fine. Have it your way, then."

Braixen's moves don't go unnoticed by Dexter as he looks over at her, mildly impressed as her Psybeam dazes the Thundurus thoroughly. "Not bad, love. Keep it up. That Psybeam might actually get us through this in one piece."

The metamorphosis that Thundurus undergoes does elicit a yelp from Dexter. "Motherfu... What the hell is that? Why's the lightning black? This feels kinda familiar, though. Didn't this... Happen to that Zoroark? Oi, listen up! Whatever that Shadowy crap is, it might be making Thundurus a little crazy. Saw it happen to someone a few days ago, the Shadows fucked right off when we managed to beat her. If we can do that again, I think Thundurus might calm down. Rowlet, Snom, do the same thing. worked okay last time so who knows, might work again. Braixen, love, I think the fires are gone so you might want to... uh... reapply? Dedenne, Bunnelby, there was way too much going on for me to see what exactly you did but just do whatever you think is right."

VS Tornadus Round 1

"I am the Winter Blizzard, and no mortal pokemon can hope to match my power!"

Tornadus holds up a hand, and begins gathering energy to create a small windstorm in it.  The wind barrier protecting him seems to become stronger as he does so.

Tornadus Charges 1

"That doesn't look good!  We need to stop him!"

Bubble Beam 1
(3)(3)(2)(1)(3)(3)

Keldeo attempts to breach the windy barrier with a stream of bubbles, but the wind simply blows them all away.

"Pathetic.  Such pitiful attacks can never hope to best me."

"Then how about this?!"

Emolga lunges at Tornadus, aiming to slow him down.

Nuzzle 1
(6)(4)(2)(1)(1)
(5)(4)
Tornadus takes 2 damage!
28/30 HP
But he is not paralyzed!  The wind barrier protects him, reducing the damage he takes by 1 and nullifying all secondary effects that directly affect him!

The wind barrier appears to be protecting Tornadus to some degree, as Emolga is thrown aside by the force of the gale before he can do anything meaningful to the Legendary pokemon.

"Hmph.  Not bad, I'll give you that.  But you still stand no chance."

Madame Twintales looks around at the snow, then decides on a course of action.

"This blizzard shall be your downfall, Tornadus.  You have made a grave error in trespassing on territory that I am warding."

"In what manner?"

"This!"

She unleashes a wave of rainbow colored energy that bounces off of all the individual snowflakes filling the room, creating a protective aurora between the party and Tornadus!

Aurora Veil 1
(6)(1)(1)(1)(6)(2)(6)
An aurora is protecting Team OS and their allies!
-1 Damage from all of Tornadus's attacks for 4 Rounds!

Hoopa is stuck in the Prison Bottle, waiting to be released.

Meanwhile, Team OS begins enacting their plan.  Kee tries to take control of the situation, giving Platina orders in an attempt to give her something to do other than P A N I C!!!  Platina may not understand the exact meaning of Kee's words, but she can at least try to dig through Kee's bag to find these items.  It's a really big bag though...

Gonna roll a die to see which item Platina pulls out first since she's P A N I C K E D.  (1), (2), or (3), it's the Quick Orb.  (4), (5), or (6), it's the Djinn's Bottle.

(4)

As instructed, Platina pulls this incredibly elaborate purple and yellow bottle out of Kee's bag.  Seeing such a beautiful piece of pottery in Kee's bag is...strange to say the least.  But she does as she was told and pops the cork on the top.

Purple mist begins to billow out of the bottle, eventually taking the shape of the familiar to some Hoopa!

"Aaaaaaah, fresh air!  And a new ultra powerful pokemon to beat up too!  Ooooooo, this is gonna be good!"

Tornadus's eyes go wide when he sees this.

"The Imprisoned One!  What are you doing here?!"

"Hehehehehe!  Surprised to see little old me?  Last I checked, you and your lot were just as imprisoned as I am, no?  Come on, let's settle this for old times' sake!"

Madame Twintales blinks.  "The Imprisoned One...?  What in Kyurem's name does that mean?"

Hoopa winks at her.  "It means you have a very powerful ally on your side.  Just give me a moment to refocus."

In the meantime, Kee and Kogeki are preparing to go on the attack!

Bulk Up 1
(4)(3)(6)(1)(2)
Kogeki's Strength and Defense increase by 1!

Snarl
(3)(1)(2)(3)(5)(2)(4)
(1)(1) No damage
Tornadus's wind barrier protects his Special from being lowered!
The wind barrier takes 1 Plot Device damage and weakens slightly!

Tornadus raises an eyebrow, but continues charging his attack.  "Curious..."

Kogeki then suddenly lunges forwards, ready to deliver a powerful one-two punch to the Blizzard Incarnate!

Quick Attack 2 and Shadow Punch 3
(4)(1)
0 dice in the accuracy pool, which does matter.  Shadow Punch fails because it has no accuracy dice.
(2)(2)
No damage from Quick Attack, but the wind barrier takes 1 Plot Device damage, weakening it even more!

Tornadus continues charging his attack, but he's looking a little more suspicious of what's going on now...

Tornadus Charges 2

"Alright then, if no mortal pokemon can stand up to you, then how about the power of another Legendary?  Guide my sword, my mentors, and smite injustice where it stands!"

Keldeo does the cool action hero thing of yelling his signature attack as his horn glows with energy and doubles in size!

SACRED SWORD!! (2)
(4)(5)(1)(2)
(6)(4)(5)(1)
Sacred Sword ignores the wind barrier's damage reduction!
Tornadus takes 2 damage!
26/30 HP
The wind barrier takes 1 plot device damage and dissipates!

Keldeo leaps into the air, bringing his now razor sharp horn down on Tornadus's wind barrier and slashing it to pieces!  Tornadus recoils slightly, but continues charging his attack.

"OOF!!  So, you do have some fight in you after all.  Hmph.  Very well."

"Alright, let's goooo!  He's vulnerable!  Attttaaaaaaack!!!!"

Emolga charges at Tornadus again, entirely cloaked in a ball of electricity!

Spark 2
(1)(2)(5)
(6)(5)(5)
(6)(2)(2)
Tornadus takes 4 damage and is paralyzed!
22/30 HP
Tornadus's concentration is broken!

Tornadus clenches his fists as electricity crackles up and down his body, slowing his movements.  The wind he was gathering in his hand scatters to the four corners of the room.

"You have underestimated us, Tornadus.  And now we shall send you back to whence you came!"

Ice Beam 2
(3)(2)(2)(4)(2)
(2)(6)(4)(3)
(5)
Tornadus takes 3 damage!
19/30 HP
-1 Pain

Hoopa suddenly appears out of a portal behind Tornadus while he's distracted!

Astonish
(5)(6)(5)(5)(5)(5)(4)(1)(1)
Critical hit!
(2) | (6)(4)
(6)(3)(2)
Tornadus takes 2 damage and Flinches!
17/30 HP
-1 Pain

Hoopa quickly retreats back into the portal they summoned, laughing the entire time.  "Hehehehehe!  Not so tough are you now, big boy?  Bet you wish you weren't so limited in your capabilities, huh?  Doesn't feel good, does it?"

Tornadus glares at Hoopa as his opponents takes their remaining actions.  He's beginning to slow down a lot more, but he's far from out of this fight.

  Platina continues to dig through Kee's bag, and finally finds the Quick Orb that the Zigzagoon mentioned.  She smashes the orb and triggers its effects!  Everyone suddenly seems to feel lighter on their feet, and they appear to be slightly blurry as they move around!
+1 Dexterity for Team OS and their Allies for the rest of the encounter

Keldeo propels himself at Tornadus with jets of water, Emolga attempts to fly circles around Tornadus, and Madame Twintales summons the natural magics of the palace to attack the Legendary with a light that glows like the moon!

"ENOUGH!!!!"

Tornadus's shout echoes throughout the chamber, accompanied by the faint sound of...

...breaking glass?

Suddenly, Tornadus is wrapped in wind again, but it's not just a barrier this time.

It's what can only be described as a cocoon.

As the Legendary withdraws into this protective state, the walls seem to become extra reflective, warping the surroundings until it's difficult to tell which direction is up, down, left, right...

And just as suddenly, the party finds themselves in the room again.  Except something's not right...

Emolga's the first to notice.

"Hey uh...wasn't the big door behind Tornadus?  Why is it behind us now?"

Hoopa recognizes what this means immediately.

"We're in the mirror world!  Quick, everyone find cover!"

The room begins to shake as the storm cocoon surrounding Tornadus begins to intensify.  Three large icicles big enough to hide behind fall from the ceiling and embed themselves in the floor.  Everyone does as instructed and hides behind one of them as Tornadus bursts out of the cocoon, shrieking like a bird of prey!

The Winter Blizzard: VS Kushala Daora - Monster Hunter Rise Version

"KAKAAAAAAAAAWWWW!!!"

The bleak, frigid winds of the cocoon rip through the entire room, blasting the icicles everyone is hiding behind with tremendous force!

The now winged, bird-like Tornadus hovers in the center of the room, their feathered appendages creating powerful bursts of wind with every flap.  Razor sharp talons glint in the light dancing between snowflakes.

And he is once again wrapped in a powerful barrier of wind.

Except this one is laced with large amounts of shadowy energy that are turning the winds black, and it looks even tougher than the previous barrier was.

Tornadus looks no worse for wear, and the powerful winds that had just been unleashed seem to have completely dissipated the Aurora Veil as well.
Upon Transformation, Tornadus's Regenerator removes all negative effects and recovers 10 HP.  He also gains +1 Dex, +1 Defense, and +1 Special Defense, but -1 Strength and Special.

"I am Blizzard Incarnate, the Therian of Winter!  My western winds shall cover this land, bringing snow and ice!  Let the Bleakwind Storm rage on!"



VS Therian Tornadus Initiatives
Therian Tornadus: (6)+9 = 15 (23/30 HP)

Keldeo: (6)+9* = 15

Emolga: (4)+8* = 12

Madame Twintales: (3)+8* = 11

Hoopa: (5)+6* = 11

Platina: (3)+8* = 11

Kogeki: (6)+4* = 10

Kee: (3)+6* = 9

VS Therian Tornadus Round 1
The snow continues to fall.

Kogeki was doing the best he can. As much he can't remember his human life, his body remember his ninja training. He focus to deliver much pain and damage against the Legendary. His powers might not even compare to the power of the Legendary Storm. But what he lacks in power, he have in high speed. Getting closer to god, he deliver two punchs, aiming in the parts most vulnerable, making cracks appear.

When Tornadus reveal his new form, Kogeki felt a chill in his spine. Not only because of the ice temperature. But because of Tornadus powerfull form. He clench his firsts, and with a defiance stance he look at the almight Legendary and with a defiance shout he use his speed to climb the powerfull pokemon using his combination of Quick Attack+Shadow Punch. He reach the top of the head of Tornadus, and deliver his two attacks while shouting at him:

"You are not a Blizzard Incarnate! You just a bird, thinking it is a god!"

With a quick succession, he deliver two punchs in the face of Tornadus, with the second filled with Dark-type energy. 

"My name is Kogeki Kurayami! Ninja of sand and sea! LET THE KURAYAMI RAGE UPON YOUR EVIL SOUL!" After deliver the sequence of punchs Kogeki grab his kunai and with a shout said. "And this blade will finish you Therian of Winter!" And after saying such words, he deliver a strike with the Kunai aiming for the eyes (Not with the intention of making him blind or do Lethal damage, just said those words for roleplay reasons).

Since I pretty sure Tornadus will problably attack me or everyone else, I will prepare to use 1 point of Will to ignore the Pain I will problably receive from Tornadus attack. Time to put Kogeki fighting skills to the test.

Quick Attack: Dex(3*)+Fight(2)+Brawl(2)-Action(2) = 5D6
Damage: Power(2)+STR(3*)= 5D6
Effect: Priority Move. It is link move together with Shadow Punch.

Shadow Punch: Dex(3*)+Fight(2)+Brawl(2)-Action(4) = 3D6
Damage: Power(2)+STR(3*)+STAB(1) = 6D6
Effect: It always hit the target. It is linked to Quick Attack so both attacks acts in the same turn.

Kunai Strike: Dex(3*)+Fight(2)+Brawl(2)-Actions(6) = 1D6+Will Point to Ignore Pain+Will Point TO hit (I must hit this attack so I not sure if I can spend more than Will Point, but if it is possible I want to use it)
Damage: Power(2)+STR(3*) = 5D6
Effect: None. It is lethal but I want to hold the lethal damage.

A rather gravelly chuckle comes from Rolycoly as well.

Karen facepalms when Ponyta's attack is absorbed by Flash Fire. As for when everyone is having a laugh at Axel's expense, Karen is too focused on removing him from the situation to join in on the laughing.

(OOC: you can take your time on this until getting the other fights started. Just wanted to get the reactions up before I forgot.)

VS Axel Round 2

Having been somewhat humiliated, Axel decides to strike hard and fast!

Flame Impact 1 on Mudbray
(6)(5)(4)(4)(4) Critical Hit!
7 - 3 Defense + 2 Crit = 6d6
(6)(3)(3)(5) | (1)(2) Mudbray takes 2 damage! 4/6 HP -1 Pain

Mudbray stumbles, but seems to absorb most of the blow despite how unexpectedly powerful it is.

"That's for laughing, you jerks!"

Rolycoly just continues snickering as they throw another rock at the thief.

Having been thrown off balance by the attack she took earlier, Mudbray's kicks go wide.

Axel's panting at this point, barely managing to keep ahold of the valuable Teleport Gem.  "So...think you're tough, huh?  Well...I'm tough too, nya!"

Axel lunges at Ponyta next, trying to throw them off balance!

Bite 2 on Ponyta
(6)(3)

Ponyta glares at Axel.  "I don't take kindly to bullies.  Now give that gem back!"

Tackle 2
(1)(1)(1)

Despite being paralyzed, Axel manages to dodge nimbly out of the way.

"Nu uh!  It's mine now!  And ya know what?  I'm done playing with you.  Time for me to leave!"

Blitzle seems to be waiting for something...

Axel reaches into his pouch again and pulls out an Escape Orb this time!  As he tries to use it though, Blitzle suddenly barrels towards the thief!

Pursuit 2
(5)(3)
(4)(5)(1)(3) Axel takes 2 damage! 18/40 HP -2 Pain
Axel drops the Teleport Gem!

"Nyaaaaaaaaa!"

There's a sudden flash of light as Axel teleports away, leaving the Teleport Gem on the ground where he'd been standing moments before.  Blitzle picks it up and brings it over to Karen.

"When it really counts, I don't miss.  Here, take it."

Xatu nods in approval.  "Well done.  Now, use the gem when you feel you're ready, Karen.  Your friends need your help.  It will take both you and Rolycoly to their side near instantaneously.  Be prepared to help them.  Unfortunately, Team Gallop will have to stay behind.  I only had enough power to create a gem that could teleport two pokemon simultaneously."

Ponyta nods in understanding.  "That's fine.  We'll head back to the guild and report on what happened here."

Mudbray nudges Karen encouragingly.  "Good luck out there.  Don't know what you're going to be doing or where you'll be, but you've our support."

Karen and Rolycoly get 10 exp for finding Xatu and getting the Teleport Gem back from Axel.
