[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

(Man. Brigid is indeed a fire godness :O Brigid the Typlosion, burning everything since 2017)

Nevertheless Inferno only dealt 2 Damage. Lolz.

(Rain + Aegis Ferrum makes it pretty hard for even SE Hits to deal major damage with Fire, thought Burn 3 or the Fire Damage Effect from Fire Pledge would have done an even 5 Damage to him regardless of the final damage Brigid inflicted. 5-7 garenteed damage per round is nasty stuff in its own right, and this is without considering Lethal Damage!)

(@Spiritmon and @PhantomUnderYourDesk : Also, not to be a nag, but comments like those two should be in the Meta Thread, rather than the Game Thread. Don't want to edge out actual post from all of you now~)

[Dragonstrike]

(Note: Don't forget Zen State also raises Defense!  it didn't matter for Rhyxemplar much, but it could be a big deal for everyone else if forgotten)

(Note 2: Now you see why I consider Inferno the most dangerous move in Pokerole)

Reiner narrows his eyes.  "A slow, gradual recovery with a held item to heal off a large amount of damage is not the same as using a potion to instantly heal a decent amount of damage.  I doubt Yang will be fully healed by the time he returns to the battlefield if he relies on just the Leftovers, unlike with Brigid and that potion, so I think it's only fair if I were to use a healing item of my own later down the line to make up for that disadvantage in the effective number of pokemon I have as a result of your potion usage.  Still, not bad, but I'm afraid it's time for Brigid to cool off a little."

Out comes Kingdra!

"Kingdra, attempt to evade the first move Typhlosion uses on you, and use Brine two times."

Evasion against the first attacking move Brigid uses on Kingdra
Accuracy: 4* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Canalize - 3/4/5 Actions = 7/6/5 D6

Brine x2 (learned for 30 EXP)
Accuracy: 4* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Canalize - 3/4/5 Actions = 7/6/5 D6
Damage: 2 Power + 3 Half HP Target+ 4* Strength + 1 STAB + 2 Rain - 5* Defense = 7 D6
Effect: Sniper crits grant 3 extra dice instead of 2!  Don't forget that!  Kingdra also crits if she gets 4 successes thanks to the SDF.

[Lord Windos]

Valarie just shrugs at the slight vitriol in your tone, suspecting that sort of reaction from his recent play. "I agree with your point, but did I not say that good Item use can help shift the battle in either of our favor? Besides, if Brigid did not take care of Rhyxemplar in tip top condition, their was chance he would use Horn Drill later. Not something I wanted to gamble on, so I used Super Potion. Feel free to use an item of your own, I do not care. Fair game between the both of us," he responded, before his attention was back on the battlefield once more. Brigid snorted at yet another Dragon coming to face them, this time one that command water. She will boil this queen of the sea until she is but salt on the earth.

Shot I forgot Rhyxemplar's Initiative last time, raaah. I'll just say that substitution transfer it over, and call the matter settle. Fainting, though, allows it to be reset!

Kingdra Intiative: (4) + 6 = 10 Still not enough, sadly, for her to go first.

Valarie Malcolm Round 4

The fire goddess, instead of trampling her opponent or swiping their claws at them, closed their eyes and focused their latent psychic energy onto her target. Kingdra, recognizing the energy immediantly , tried to block it out as best she can!

Extrasensory
Accuracy: 10D6 - 2 Pain - 3 Actions = 5D6
(6)(5)(5)(4)(4) That's a Crit!
Kingdra Evasion
(1)(4)(2)(3)(1)(2)(1) Well, that doesn't help matters...
Damage: STR(*4) + 3 + Crit (2) - Vitality (*4) = 5D6
(3)(5)(6)(2)(3) Kingdra takes 2 Damage; 7/9 HP , - 1 Pain
Flitch: (4) Nope

The oceanic dragon mental defenses are not up to snuff this time, as she was left realing from the mental assault! Which Brigid readily exploited by barreling straight into their supple body, giving them no time to recover!

Bulldoze
Accuracy: 11D6 - 2 Pain - 4 Actions = 5D6 Dice
(6)(3)(4)(6)(3) Hit.
Damage: STR + 2 - Vitality (*4) = 2D6 Damage
(5)(5) Kingdra takes 2 Damage; 5/9 HP , - 1 DEX

Kingdra was remarkably resilient, as befitting of her draconic nature, and decided to pay pain unto the fire mouse by blasting them with a torrent of water, intent on dousing their flames!

Brine 1
(1)(6)(5)(5) Hits, but no crits!
(5)(4)(5)(1)(4)(5)(1) Brigid takes 4 Damage; 1/10 HP , - 3 Pain!

Brigid was sent flying from the pressurized blast of water, ending up in a sodden heap in front of Valarie. Clicking his touge , the giant old man tapped his cane on the ground trice, causing her to look at her master questioning. That signal....did he really want her to trigger THAT combination? Her master gave her a single, firm nod, and that sealed the deal on the descision. Staggering back up, the fire goddess took a couple of steps forward, before quietly exhaling one last breath, before she just exploded. In a fraction of a second, Brigid was completely engulfed in white hot flames, the holes around her neck blasting out torrents and torrents of blinding fire! The whole area surrounding her turns completely molten, leaving them in a lake of boiling lava!

Blaze  Upgrade Triggered: Next Fire types attack does the full amount of its damage; Use suffers Recoil from move, and all functions of its Ability, regular and modified, are nullified

Swath in the purest form of Fire that was literally causing the air around it to spontaneously combust, Brigid gave one last deadly look to Kingdra, before they let out a ROAR and unleashes all of it upon them!!!

Burn Up
Accuracy: 10D6 - 3 Pain - 5 Pain + 1 Success (Will Point Spent) = 2D6 + 1 Succes
(5)(6) + (6) It hits.
Damage: STR (*4) + 7 + STAB + Blaze (3) - Rain (2) - RE - Vitality (*4) = 9D6 - 2 Non-Lethal Damage
Kingdra takes 7 Damage, and instantly faints from the ferocious explosion of heat!
Recoil: (6)(6)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-) Brigid is knocked out as well, the sheer power of her move lashing back at her!

Both combatants collapsed, each completely wiped out from each other attacks. The heat generated by the massive inferno scorches the street into a crackling, molten hell-scape, forcing both you and Valarie to hastily take a few steps back and quickly return their Pokemon while the torrential rain cooled everything off to much tolerably levels. By the time it put everything out (Including the Fire Field Effect), the storm had cleared, spent from both its intensity and by the updrafts of heat weakening it. The street was unrecognizable, turned into smooth, charred plain from the force of fire and rain.

The giant old man just let out a sigh, gave you an appraising look filled with the utmost respect, stroaking his beard while taking in the change of scenery. "Impressive, Mr. Arendse. You made me and Brigid give our all in that battle, and while it cost you severely, you managed to take us both down a peg. Here I thought she would suffice against you, but I suppose I grossly underestimate you own power. Time for my next Pokémon, and a change of style."

He then tossed out another Pokeball, and out popped a Araidos , which skitter forward onto the battlefield and rubbed its forelegs, ready to fight!

You send out....

[Spiritmon]

"Holy shit mates! Watch out that explosions!" Arial was holding in post after all the explosions of lava, fire and water. The poor guy including have a fire in his hat, like a walking candle. Gaspar was holding to, trying in vain put out the flame in his tail, almost looking a ambulant charmander. "Next time think about the persons who is watching you bunch of twats!" Arial was very angry but the same time impressinate with the level of fight in this battle. Well, more angry and tosty then impressive. "Damn Reiner. You will owe me a new jacket AND a new hat you bastard!"

Then he see both Kingdra and Brigid fait after that explosion. He remember a show he watch and cannot hold his tongue and say:

"They kill Brigid! Kill bastard!" The last he made a pit voice (Who catch the reference?). Gaspar in his shoulder simply sighed in exasperation after Arial joke.

Chuckle a little he still holding the post. He fear the ground still heat as hell and man, he not going anywere after that explosion! When this all over, he is going to ask Giovanni a increase in his salary. "Hey Reiner! Stop fooling around and finish that fight! We dont need so much atraction from the cops! Its a miracle no one see or heard this fight!"

[Lord Windos]

(I did! The proper grammatical English for that line is : "They Killed Brigid, those bastards!" , but its close enough!)

Valarie let out a bemused laugh at the sight of the burning duo on the sidelines, just shaking his head at them. "Hahaha....It is not entirely my fault you two got singed and your cloths ruined. If you had taken more caution in spectating this fierce fight, you could have stayed clear of Brigid's attack radius and avoided being lit up like one of your cigars. My Pokémon and I are not responsible for your safety nor protection, so sharpen your wits and recognize when danger is knocking on your front door so you can react," the old man said, before he was facing you once more.

Arial was right to be concerned about the cops, as the racket and property damage caused by the fight had resounded throughout the city, but considering that this section of Celadon City's Business sector closed for the night hours ago (Wednesday Evening) and was faaaar away from the nearest Police Station, by the time this incident was report and they arrive on scene, the whole battle would be long over. Valarie choose this spot for that very reason, as he didn't want the local law enforcement interfering with his dealing with Reiner. Hard to hold a 'peaceful' conversation if the Police was sculking around the area...

[Dragonstrike]

(there was nothing I could have done to go first anyways unless I stacked a few dexterity debuffs on Brigid or massively boosted my pokemon's dexterity somehow since Brigid rolled a 6 on initiative and is naturally faster than a Rhyperior by base stats.  The only pokemon I had that could have potentially naturally outsped her was Felicia, and only if she also rolled a 6 on initiative)

"Arial, this battle is still far from over.  As for the jacket and hat...well, don't bug me about it.  I'm not the one who set them on fire."  Back to the battle...

"Tsk tsk.  You're looking tired, Valarie.  Keep up with doing feats like that, and you're going to burn out much like Brigid just did, though I must admit that it was certainly an impressive display of power."

An Ariados?  Hmmm...

"Well then, going for a less direct approach now, hm?  Very well.  I think I've got a good answer for your spider."

*Hisssss*

"What say you we show this bug a thing or two about battling, Arbok?"

Time for some more initiatives before I decide on what to do!

[Lord Windos]

"I may be old, but I have plenty of spirit within me to see this fight until the end. Still, I must ration my full strength, or I won't put up a proper fight against your own, no? Peter, show this snake you fear not its imposing size, and not to underestimate your own venomous bite! Make him a lasting impression, and instill some healthy Arachnophobia in them," Valarie responded, the afformentioned spider saluting to his boss, before they spun around to face Arbok, letting out a loud, defiant chitter, settling into an jittery, twitching stance. He will show them that skill beats brute force, and who is the superior Poison type!

Initiative:
Arbok: (6) + 6 = 12 Nioce!
Peter: (3) + 8 = 11 Not noice!

Arbok goes first, and Peter last

Valarie Malcolm Round 5

[Dragonstrike]

(Zen State is still in effect, so that should be an initiative of 13 since Reiner has 4 Dexterity, 4 Defense, 4 Strength, and 3 Insight currently.  Gotta remember that stat buff!)

"Hehe...Arbok, Coil, Screech, and then attack!  Though if you find you're unable to use your primary move choice, opt to use Bite instead."

Reiner touches his Key Stone as the round commences! (boosting Arbok's initiative to 14 and his Defense to 5, and lowering Ariados's Dex by 1 with Petrify.  It also means there's no way Ariados can move before Arbok does without additional assistance since the best it can do on its own is tie the initiative, and Ariados are veeerrrrryyyy slow in the games)

Coil
Accuracy: 5* Dex + 4 Fight + 2* Intimidate - 5 Actions = 6 D6
Effect: +1 Strength, Defense, and Accuracy

Screech (learned for 17 EXP)
Accuracy: 5* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Canalize + 1 Coil - 6 Actions = 6 D6
Effect: -2 Defense for the target

Fire Fang x3
Accuracy: 5* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Brawl - 1 Acc + 1 Coil - 7/8/9 Actions = 4/3/2 D6
Damage: 6* Strength + 2 Power + 1 SE - 3* Defense = 5 D6 + 1 Damage
Effect: 2 Chance dice for Burn 1, 4 for Flinch

Bite x3 (If Fire Fang can't be used)
Accuracy: 5* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Brawl + 1 Coil - 7/8/9 Actions = 5/4/3 D6
Damage: 6* Strength + 2 Power + 1 STAB - 3* Defense = 6 D6
Effect: 5 Chance dice for Flinch

(Note: All calculations assume Arbok successfully uses Coil and Screech)

[Lord Windos]

(Well darn me and call me a sweater! So many little details to keep up with...)

Valarie Malcom Round 5

Arbok's Mega Transformation was a frightening affair as always, as all eight head of the giant hydra let out cacophony of noises, causing Peter blood to partially freeze in fear! Valarie quickly tapped his cane on the ground to snap his spider out of its fear state, but the damage had already been done. Peter loses 1 DEX!

Coil
(4)(6)(3)(4)(2)(3)
Mega Arbok's STR, Defense, and Accuracy is raised by 1!

Unhappy with how sluggish his body feels after his stare down with the snake, the giant spider rapidly did some atheletics to increase its mobility!

Agility
Accuracy: DEX (*4) + Fight (3) + Atheltics (0) - 5 Actions = 2D6
(6)(2)
Its drastically effective, Increasing Peter's DEX by 2! (Surprise! Triggered)

The arachnid was vibrating in place as his exercise really got him raring to go, ready to face almost everything anything that snake could do to him! In response to the challenging stare he was giving them, Mega Arbok blasted the annoying bug with another loud burst of noise!

Screech
(1)(1)(4)(2)(3)(1) Wow, those snake eyes are sure working against them, eh?

Peter, however, steeled themselves against such a racket, and retaliate by spit on a sticky gob of silk on him, intent on retaking the speed advantage for themselves!

String Shot
Accuracy: 11D6 - 1 Accuracy - 6 Actions = 3D6
(2)(5)(6)(6)
The silky shot is far sticker than expected, slowing Mega Arbok by 2 DEX! (Surprise! Triggered)

Initiatives has now changed, with Araidos going first , and Mega Arbok going last!

Plan successful, the spider began to dance dance dance, thoroughly taunting (Though not Taunting) with its kicking, styling moves! Valarie could only shake his head and sigh at his Pokémon's showboating, but allowed it. After all, it was Peter version of:

Sword Dance!



Accuracy: DEX (*6) + Fight (3) + Perfom (1) - 7 Actions = 3D6
(6)(4)(4)
Its drastically effective, raising Peter's STR by 3! (Surprise! Triggered)

Infuriated by all the spider's actions up to this point, Mega Arbok struck out to sink its flaming hot teeth into him, intent on cooking him alive!

Fire Fang 1
(1)(3) Peter skitters out of the way before the fangs could reach them, though, rending the move ineffective!

Taking advantage of their foe blunder, the arachnid rushes forward to show the snake how a bite is really done!

Cross Poison
Accuracy: DEX (*6) + Fight (3) + Brawl (3) - 8 Actions = 4D6
(6)(4)(2)(3) Hit!
Damage: STR (*6) + 3 + STAB - RE - Vitality (*6) = 4D6 - 1 Damage
(5)(5)(1)(2) Mega Arbok takes 1 Damage; 13/14 HP

The hydra is extremely displeased by the sheer amount of harashment he was receiving from them, so he attempted to sink in his fang into them to teach that blasted spider a lesson!

Fire Fang 2
(4) This one hits!
(3)(1)(4) Peter takes 2 Damage; 7/9 HP , - 1 Pain
Flitch: (5)(4)(4)(5) Nope
Burn: (6)(3) Ah snap, Peter is burned! - 1 STR

Peter springs away from Mega Arbok, hopping back and forth as they parts of it body ignite! Highly reluctant for a repeat performance from them, he channeled his inner power to lock down that move!

Disable
Accuracy: 11D6 - 9 Actions = 2D6
(4)(1)
Fire Fang is Disabled for 4 Rounds!

Bite
(3) Mega Arbok tries to get one last quick hit in, but the spider is just too fast for him!

Burn:
(5)(2)(6) No damage for Peter!

"Hmm, that burn could be problematic, but Peter here thrives in dangerous situation such as these. Isn't that right?" the old man says, receiving an affirmative *Chitter!* in response. He is no pushover, as he just showed that snake! The tables are turned now!

Current Status:
Mega Arbok: 13/14 HP , + 2 Defense , + 2 STR, + 1 Insight , + 1 Accuracy
Peter: 7/9 HP , + 2 STR , + 2 DEX , - 1 Pain , Burned

Valarie Malcom Round 6

[Dragonstrike]

"I wouldn't celebrate an advantage quite yet. You've still got a long ways to go. Arbok, Screech again, then Bite 3 times."

Screech
Accuracy: 3* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Canalize + 1 Coil - 4 Actions = 6 D6
Effect: -2 Defense for Target

Bite x3
Accuracy: 3* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Brawl + 1 Coil - 5/6/7 Actions = 5/4/3 D6
Damage: 6* Strength + 2 Power + 1 STAB - 3* Defense = 6 D6
