[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Such were his thoughts on the matter, before he dispelled them and quickened his pace to his room, and right by Shiva's side. It wouldn't do to keep her waiting for any longer, and he needed plenty of rest for his Gym Battle with Dagney tomorrow!

Just a few minutes before the door opened, Ventus quietly stepped into the room and closed the door behind himself again as quietly as possible, Shiva has turned off the lights and cuddled up into bed to fall asleep, so she was still awake when he came back. Kyuu was curled up all cat-like a little beside Shiva on bed, while Cottonee was the first one to notice Master's friend being back - she greeted him in a low chirp.

When Ven has taken his place on his side of the bed, he would find Shiva in a calm mood beside him and tirerdly smiling, which was not visible in the darkness of course. "Ven, you're back... Welcome. You're doing okay?"

Her Almanac has been placed into the drawer of the small table beside the bed by now.

She has indeed beaten her record in 20Lines this night.

"Yes, my dearest. My discussion with Nathan turned out fairly short but engrossingly informative, so we were able to abjurn in a fairly expedient amount of time once we ran out of things we could share. It was a pleasant, serene experience by and large, but I can of course I can only speak for myself," Ventus responded, gracing her with a gentle and relaxed/sleepy smile and one fond ruffling of her hair as he let out as small *Yaawn...*

"Well, sleep beckons me, so I'll see you in the morn, Shiva......"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"That's nice to hear. Sleep well then, dear oddball of a sociologist, may you awake full and fresh when the new Day dawns."

With that said, she gave him a light squeeze to his hand, before eventually she drifted away into dreamland as well, protected from bad dreams by her dreamcatcher hanging in the window.

Illumise are found primarily in the Fireweed Forest, secondarily in Earthstar. The book suggests looking on the edges of the forests, where they fade into fields. Volbeat prefers the fields, so the two love to meet on the transition zone. The Almanac doesn't phrase it like this, though; you have to read between the lines. The Almanac is always much more clinical about things.

Eevee
Eevee, the Evolution Pokemon. Countless experiments on Eevee have yielded a fantastically increased understanding of the evolutionary process, enough for Almanac to develop its patented evolutionary stone alternatives. With further research, even more evolutionary paths could be forced upon Eevee than were previously known, or even opened up for other Pokemon. The unstable nature of this Pokemon's DNA proved to be a boon for all sorts of scientific research for improving Pokemon.

Gothitelle
Gothitelle, the Astral Connection Pokemon. The connection between a Gothitelle and its trainer is poorly understood; further experiments are in order. Under induced emotional distress, either trainer or Pokemon are capable of sensing the other's emotion. In controlled trials where a trainer or Pokemon perished, Gothitelle was proven to expect the trainer's exact moment of expiration. This uncanny ability to sense the future can only be blocked by a force capable of reversing or preventing the psychic distortion of space. Such forces seem a painful stimulus to Gothitelle. It is thought that Gothitelle has an increased ability to sense spatial distortion, but it is currently unknown how such an ability might prove directly helpful to human science.

Then she checks on the pink threaded Egg. Whoaa, it's really close to hatching! Tonight or tomorrow for sure!

Gym Leader Dagny vs Heart Round 6

Porygon crawls forward on tank treads, not floating for now. As Rose approaches for Close Combat, Porygon crawls right onto her! She begins wincing as the tank treads bind on her over and over.

Gear Grind
8 brawl -2 actions -2 acc = 4/3 dice
(6)(5)(3)(6)
(2)(5)(5)
3 Str + 2 power +1 STAB +1 Technician -3 vit = 4d6 dmg.
(4)(2)(4)(2)
(6)(3)(4)(1) Rose takes 2 dmg 3/7hp -2 pain. (That's from both attacks, each doing 1).

Close Combat 1
(2)(2)(2)(4)(1)(1) Miss! Rose is already a little too close to hit Porygon.

Mach Punch 2
(6)(4)(5)(1)(2)
(6)(3) Porygon takes 2 dmg 6/8hp -1 pain

Mach Punch 3
(6)(3)(2)(5)
(5)(5) Porygon takes 3 dmg 3/8hp -2 pain

Both Pokemon have 3 hp! Porygon goes first.

Dagny whispers an order to Porygon and settles back into her wheelchair, clearly very tired.

Heart was trying once again to hold together and he almost fall in his kneels after this round. He was hoping this round might end after this last attack. "Rose, we must finish this once and for all. They are planing something, so we must be very careful. If they use some sort of attack, dodge then retaliate with one strong Close Combat, and if this do not work, finish with two Mach Punchs! But if they use Conversion or Conversion 2 only Close Combat. If you feel they using a status move, dodge and retaliate with Close Combat. With your ability Blaze, you might be able to finish him I hope." (Using Will point to ignore pain)

In case he attack, dodge and Close Combat.


Dodge: Dex (3) + Fight (3) + Evasion (2) - Actions (2) - Pain (2) = 6d6
CC Acuracy: Dex (3) + Fight (3) + Brawl (3) - Actions (3) -  Pain (2) = 5d6
Damage: Power (5) + STR (3) + Black Belt (1) + SE (1) = 9d6+1


In case CC doest work:

Dodge: Dex (3) + Fight (3) + Evasion (2) - Actions (2) - Pain (2) = 6d6
CC Acuracy: Dex (3) + Fight (3) + Brawl (3) - Actions (3) -  Pain (2) = 5d6
Damage: Power (5) + STR (3) + Black Belt (1) + SE (1) = 9d6+1

Mach Punch Acuracy 1 and 2: Dex (3) + Fight (3) + Brawl (3) - Actions (4/5) -  Pain (2) = 4d6/3d6
Damage: Power (2) + STR (3) + Black Belt (1) + SE (1) = 6d6+1
Notes: Priority move

If in case Rose feel Porygon will turn to a type with defence against Fighting Flame Wheel in the place of Mach Punch:

Flame Wheel 1 and 2: Dex (3) + Fight (3) + Brawl (3) - Actions (4/5) -  Pain (2) = 4d6/3d6
Damage: Power (2) + STR (3) + Blaze ability (2 I think) + SE (1) = 6d6+1
Effect: Dice chance to burn

These orders don't work. 
You must declare the amount of actions you are taking at the beginning of the turn. It cannot be conditionally changed, because the very first dice roll subtracts your total number of actions from its accuracy. 

You can declare two actions, an Evasion plus ONE OF Close Combat OR Mach Punch OR Flame Wheel.
OR
You can declare four actions, an Evasion followed by Close Combat and a couple Mach Punches or conditional Flame Wheels.

A fourth action will only have 2 dice max.


Also, I cannot tell if Rose is supposed to dodge a second move by Porygon, which will happen immediately after Rose attempts to dodge the first move.

Huh, seeing how Eevee is a Pokemon of such a scientific usefulness, Shiva wants to hatch her own one even more. ♡

Gym Leader Dagny Round 7

"One way or another, this ends now!"

A wave of energy comes rolling out from Delta Porygon's front surface, projected from his treads and face, eyes and chest.

Tank Attack 1
9 dice, -2 pain, -2 actions = 5d6
(1)(1)(4)(6)(3) - 1 success
Evasion1: (3)(6)(4)(6)(4)(4) No problem! Rose dives neatly through the eye at the center of the Tank-Attack hurricane! The projected attack goes bouncing around the gym. You can see that Porygon, eyes closed, is redirecting the attack for a second try!

Tank Attack 2
(6)(1)(6)(2)
3 Str + 3 power, no STAB for Delta -3 vit = 3d6, Close Combat failed last time so no vit loss
(6)(6)(2) Rose takes 2 dmg 1/7 hp.
Paralyze: (2)(6) Rose is paralyzed!
Burn: (2)(6) - Rose ignores this due to typing
Flinch: (4)(3)

Close Combat 2
(5)(1)(5)(6)
(6)(2)(2)(4) Porygon faints. Its treads go sliding to a halt.
Rose collapses.
Dagny lets her head roll back onto her headrest.
Heart collapses.

Heart wakes up in the Pokemon Center, in his room. Nurse Joy and Gym Leader Dagny are there. The Nurse is fussing over you, plumping your pillow and forcing you to drink some orange juice the instant you're awake.

"Well, congratulations on your victory, Heart, though you went well beyond your limits in attaining it. It [i]definitely[/b] still counts, because spirit is sometimes more important than power. This Ankerite badge shows that you are someone who gets things done! Some might say there was a little luck involved in your victory, but I don't believe in luck. The power of the Ankerite badge will make your Pokemon tougher than they've ever been."

You also earn 800$, 22 XP for Pokemon, and 11 XP for yourself.

"The Nurse says you are free to go after one night's rest. She's already taken your Pokemon for healing. They shouldn't battle tomorrow, okay?"

Nurse Joy smiles. "Congratulations on your victory. Stay rested."



Nurse Joy alerted the others in the party for whom she has contact information as to Heart's condition, so they can visit if they wish.

Heart only have enough time to see Rose beat the Delta Porygon then see her collapses. "R..rose..." Then he feel his vision become dark, his legs lost all the strengh then he collapses and fall in the hands of someone. When he awake he was return to the pokemon Center, be take care by the Nurse Joy and with Dagny congratulation Heart. "You mean...I win?" Heart almost coudnt believe. He have not much confidence about win the pokemon battle against Dagny. But the badge he receive...to see he win...a few tears of pure joy and proud flow though Heart eyes. "Sorry...I just...I know its something dumb, but after all this, to win the pokemon battle....I think this is mean a got a little stronger. You shouldnt thank congrat me Dagny. You should congrat our pokemons. They are the true stars of our battle. Including Rose in the finals. She did her best and use all her strengh to finish the battle."

[Iron]

"Oh, yes, about that...Nurse Joy?"

Nurse Joy wheels a little cot into the room. Sleeping inside is not a Monferno, but an Infernape!

"She evolved in your arms while you were wiped out. She's already been through the healing machine, but she needs rest after exceeding her limits so much."
