[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"Oh...that fits some new pieces into the puzzle. No, no, I really can't discuss more, dear. Anything else, you ask? Well, there's a little thing, nothing to do with Codename: Dizzy. One of my students is challenging the Champion tonight. Jo Boswe is her name, a real rising star of a trainer. I gave her her first Pokemon, a specially bred Furfrou. I know you aren't one for battling, but if you're interested you could catch the news coverage and get a glimpse of that Furfrou. That's all!"

Now that were news. "You.....your student, you say....." That is said in a lower and faintly wishful tone of voice. So they're indeed taking students - for now though, Shiva's way too shy to ask how to become a student of this sweet Daycare Couple, especially since she hasn't even yet enrolled at Telperion Uni. If she could....work at their Daycare during semester breaks or so to gain a bit more practical experience, that'd be the ultima.......

Cottonee nudging her eagerly brougth her and her mind back from carefully built cloud-castles and to the current room again. "Eh, I'll try to take a look at the news and especially that Furfrou, thank you for the hint! It's...cool that you're also giving out Starter Pokemon... (*gasp* Have they also bred her Cottonee that she received from Professor Mallorn??) Well, if that's all then, give Wir my greets and hear or even see your soon! Expect the gauntlet arriving this morning still."

**click*, followed by an impercible sigh and packing away of cell*


Well, with that done, Shiva makes some room at the table of the dorm. There was one more thing she wanted to do before she can make her way out of the Pokemon Center and towards a particular place here in Cress City: The reviving of 1 Kirlia Slipper, although Shiva draws all three she has collected to check on their state. By now they're probably dried and dormant, but their effect should still be unchanged.

3 successes in a Nature Roll will do it as stated here, and all her Grass Types can watch. There's currently no Pokemon with her who can aid by bringing luck, but maybe a Morning Sun from Nightshade and Raphael will help a little?

Nathan vs Terra Introductory Battle Round 3

Snivy leads with the offense, holding out his hands and allowing Manectric's own energy to flow into them.

Giga Drain 1
(4)(3)(6)(3)(5)(6)(5) Critical hit.
(4)(5)(2)(3)(3)(5) Manectric takes 3 dmg 6/9hp -1 pain.

Little vines sprout all over Manectric.

Manectric leers back to show she's not afraid.
Leer 1
(3)(2)(2) But her heart's not really in it, because those Magic Bean vines are a little worrying. Especially 'cause she doesn't know their source!

Giga Drain 2
(3)(1)(5)(3)(5)(6)
(4)(5)(5)(5) Manectric takes 4 dmg 2/9hp -2 pain

And the sprouts get a little larger!

Fire Fang 2
(5)(4)
(6)(3)(2)(6) Snivy takes 3 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain.
Flinch: (4)(6) Snivy flinches!
Burn: (6)(4) Snivy was burned!

Thunder Wave 3
(6)(6)
Snivy became paralyzed.

Burn: (3) Snivy is hurt by his burn! 2/6hp -2 pain.

Nathan vs Terra Introductory Battle Round 4

Quick Attack 1
(3)(2)(2)(6)(1)
(1)(4)(4)(4) Ahh, too bad for Snivy. He faints!

In the hands of a seasoned warrior, even a low-power move can be deadly!

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan vs Terra Introductory Battle Round 4

Quick Attack 1
(3)(2)(2)(6)(1)
(1)(4)(4)(4) Ahh, too bad for Snivy. He faints!

In the hands of a seasoned warrior, even a low-power move can be deadly!

*sigh*  Well, better extinguish that Burn...

Alright, next pokemon: Solomon.  If I'm gonna take yet another QA before that Manectric goes down, it's gonna be with someone who can actually maybe afford to take the hit.  And since Marshmellow has used four moves already, she's not zapping any pokemon today!

[Iron]

Solomon: (5)

[Lord Windos]

Terra couldn't help but crack a smile at his Marshmellow enthusiastically pouncing on another of the boy's Pokémon and instantly KOing it, nodding his head at her in sastifaction and pride.

"Good job, Melly. You'll get treats for it later. Now, hit that King fast and hard as you can, before he does the same to you."

He received an estatic *Bark* in reply, before she squared off against that weird looking Water type. Sorta looks like a pink furless Vigoroth to her, but doesn't look NEARLY as frantically energetic and MUCH more cool and noble! Oh well, she'll still have LOTS of fun playing with them, even if she can't give it the shock of their lives!!!

As his lightning wolf readied for what would likely be one last hurrah, the rugged wanderer prepared to recall her (Once she Fainted, of course) while also pulling off what appeared to be a Ultra Ball from his belt. This one looked....thicker and slightly different than usual, though...

[Dragonstrike]

Solomon eyes the energetic Manectric carefully, evaluating what's about to happen.  Hmmm...

[Lord Windos]

(Iron, just want to let you know that Terra will start Holding Back with his next Pokémon Damaging Moves sent out and onwards, until I say otherwise! Let's lighten things up for Nathan, shall we?)

[Iron]

Nathan vs Terra Introductory Battle Round 5

Quick Attack 1
(5)(3)(2)(5)(2)
(4)(1)(3)(3) Solomon takes 1 dmg 9/10hp
Manectric appears behind Solomon and gently nibbles his shin with her teeth, almost like a gentle puppy.

Brine 1
(3)(1)(2)(6)(6)(5) (6)(1)(5) Critical hit, and much more effective on a weakened Pokemon!
(5)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2) (1) Manectric takes 4 dmg and faints in a wash of salty water.

Terra sends out Forretress next! Initiative: (5)

[Lord Windos]

The Scuttlebut on this Forrestress:

Most Forrestress, while known to be mildly Disobedient and get defensive when it comes to intruders or wound be home crashers, were mostly a docile species of Pokémon.

Terra's Forrestress did not conform to this standard.

When summoned onto the battlefield, she gathered all her Strength and leaped right onto her spot on the battlefield, landing with an impressive *thud* as she began to stare at that (to her) strange Water/Psychic type , glaring at them with GREAT boldness and no small amount of aggressive competitiveness.

So this was to be her next opponent, huh? Well, if they think she'll just be a pushover and be washed away by their Water Moves, she will PROVE them wrong!

She. Will. Not. Be. Defeated. Easily!!! COUNT ON IT!!!
