Axew Round 4

Loyalty: (1)

Koa is getting grumpy about this. He's being forced to learn a grudging respect for Heart, and he doesn't enjoy that process!

He decides to break the rules a little.

Scratch
5 dice, -1 pain, -1 knockdown
(1)(3)(2) The scratch attack misses, for Heart knew this moment would come!

Strike Heart only has enough dice for a single strike.
5 dice, -2 pain, -1 knockdown
(3)(2) Miss.

Axew Round 5

Heart might miss the strike but a smile a little after Koa decide to break the rules. He simple smile and say: "Not cool Koa! I say just pure strengh no moves!" Both Heart and Koa are in the limits. That little dragon have a powerfull spirit inside him. He will not give up easily. Nor Heart too because even he be feel pain, he enjoying the fight, but decide to give his everything in this last round. His course of action will be use his last remained forces to send a one last Strike in Koa. 

Course of action: Use Strike in Round 5 and another strike in Round 6, and I want expend one Will Point in the strike of Round 6.

Fake Out
3 Dex + 3 Fight +0 Brawl -2 actions = 4 dice
(3)(5)(3)(5) Comite flinches!

Bubblebeam
Azurill, following Shiva's directions, lays down puddle after puddle, letting them freeze in precise locations. The precision and creativity is a lot like a contest!

Sealeo barks and blasts the icy floor with his snout, creating a spray of snow across both his foes!

Comite does as Shiva has discussed, though rather delayed: smacks the doorbell with a blast of rock, from all the way across the field!

Rock Throw
(3)(3)(6) + (6*)
The door slides open, with the stone stuck in the button which opens it. The beautiful sunshine spills in from outside.
It's not enough to melt the ice, especially since it's still spring outside and it's quite cold in here, but the sunlight does sparkle beautifully on the ice in the entryway.
Soon, Azurill's plan becomes clear: the sunlight is bouncing off the ice, or refracting through it, or clearing shadows, until its dazzling force fills the whole room!

Yet still, it's not enough to melt anything.

Bubblebeam

5 dice -3 vit = 2 dice
(5)(3) Delibird takes 1 dmg  6/7hp
Chance: (3)

Powder Snow
(6)(2)(3)(1) Hits both foes
(2)(2)(4) Comite takes 1 dmg 2/6hp
Azurill is unscathed by the damage.
Chance: (6) Uh oh! Azurill and Comite are frozen solid! The two ice cubes only make the sunlight sparkle more brightly.

"Sealeo, finish off that strange Roggenrola. Plenty of area for you to aim still.

Water Gun on Comite
(4)(6)(4) Hit!
(5)(2)(5) Comite takes 3 damage and would have fainted except for Sturdy! 1/6hp.

Zamboni vs Shiva!! Round 2

[Iron]

Axew still doesn't listen! But Heart gets the impression that Axew is just testing limits right now, and doesn't really seek to harm Heart.

Strike
(1)(3) + (6*) as Heart spends a Will Point!
(3)(5) Axew takes 1 dmg 1/5hp

Axew frowns and sits down. He doesn't want to battle anymore.

[Spiritmon]

Heart frow and fall to the ground exausted after that spar. He take deep breaths to recover the air. That was a heck of a fight. Heart burst in laugh and told to Koa.

"Wew. I almost lost this time, haha. If I have all this trouble to fight when you still a Axew, imagine when you turn into a Haxorus in the future." Heart frow then talk Koa. "I very proud and happy about you be here with me Koa. I still think I need became stronger and stronger. Lets be more stronger together. Right Koa?"

Heart them smiled and stay for a while in the ground. He really need go to a Poke Center.

(The new toal level of loyalty of Axew please?)

[Iron]

That was a great battle for Heart. You gain 3Xp.

As you talk together with Koa, he indeed gains 1 point of Loyalty, for a total of 2. You've shown that you have physical strength. The dragon will probably want to see a display of some other type of strength before his loyalty grows again.

Also don't forget to erase Clauncher's Sitrus berry.

[Spiritmon]

Heart picked up Koa taking all his care to not hurt Koa. He might feel a little pain but he dont care. Koa is his responsability and he will take care of him.

"Lets go to the Pokemon Center buddy. You need some medicament and me too. You deserve a good rest."

Then I go in the direction of the Pokemon Center to heal Koa and his Pokemon follow him.

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan frowns as the first few seconds pass. Well, that could have started a little better for Shiva.  She could still turn this around...but to him, it lookd like she needs to get rid of that Sealeo first...

Zamboni vs Shiva!! Round 2

Delibird 6/6 hp
Sealeo fresh
Azurill 4/6 hp, -1 Pain, frozen solid
Comite 1/6 hp, frozen solid


Okay, that one ice move hit hard. Underestimated the challenge a little? Maybe. Or not, since it just started and NOTHING is decided yet, especially since the room was filled with beams of sunlight now, just as planned, and Shiva already tasted blood before.

First thing to do was withdraw the ice block Azurill now was trapped in, showing nothing of the paaaain Shiva felt to see her beloved blue mouse being impaired like this. For now though, there was nothing she could do about this, sadly. Trusting that the bond between her and blue mouse was already strong enough to endure this...

"Very nicely done, Zamboni. However, it's not decided yet. I hope so, at least..." In this moment, she also thanked Comite in silent for its sturdyness, it clearly prevented loosing one Pokemon in one go. If all works well, astral rock is by far not out of the fight yet. In fact, by spraying one potion onto it, it was back at 5 HP! (Dunno if if it works to heal up a frozen Pokemon with an item though... I hope it does.) Both her Pokemon eased the path for the next course of action: Controlling the field. Things rely on Nightshade now, which was summoned onto the battlefield in another graceful movement.

"Alright, Nightshade - this is your first real challenge and I do rely on you and your abilities. You see the beams of sunlight sparling across the room? Brighten them up and raise the temperature here, before seeking cover behind your frozen battle partner. From that place, seed the seal, please."


Accuracy Roll Sunny Day: 3 Dext + 2 Survival + so far 0 Nature - 2 Actions = 3 D6
Effect: Creates Sunny Weather - indoors!!! Lasts 4 Rounds.
Secondary Effect: Due to the raised temperature, some ice on/near the battlefield might thaw now - same with Comite. Also activates Cherubi's Chlorophyll-ability.


Accuracy Roll Leech Seed: 5* Dext (if Sunny Day suceeds)+ 2 Fight+ 3 Channel - 1 reduced Accuracy of the move - 3 Actions = 6 D6
Effect: Leeches the foe. 1 dice of damage is rolled, for every damage dealt this way the user restores 1 HP, at least according to the move's decription.
Additional notes: I already love this battle. Dramatic!

As for Comite, if he's thawed, two Rock Throws are the choice, one for Sealeo at first and - if the dice allow it - for Delibird as well.

Accuracy Roll Rock Throw1, Sealeo: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 1 Accuracy of the move - 2 Actions = 5 D6
Damage Roll: 2 Strenght + 2 Power of the move + 1 STAB + 1 Hard Stone = 6 D6
Additional notes: Deals 1 point of autodamage on Sealeo due to SE.

Accuracy Roll Rock Throw2, Delibird: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 1 Accuracy of the move - 3 Actions = 4 D6
Damage Roll: 2 Strenght + 2 Power of the move + 1 STAB + 1 Hard Stone = 6 D6
Additional notes: Deals 2 points of autodamage on Delibird due to double SE.
