[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh dear, yes, Kee's agreeing so much on keeping that pair together. "Good idea, great idea, splendid idea, YES!! Thank you, thank you, thanks and thankies for that, for heaven's sake." With that clarified, he manages to calm down a little, but he won't stop being in such an erratic state until the situation's cleared. And, until Octavia returns with Gene in tow and aids in putting all these messy emotions back into proper order.

That Megastone the ninja tosses to him though - he catches it more by accident than willingly, then gived Kogeki a puzzled look. "Uh... 'Kay, if ya say so, I take that one. But, ya know, I don't even own a Key Stone." ╮(￣ω￣; )╭

Very well then, in that case, after the mean Burn and ugly Poisoning are healed by Kee and Karen (he'll thankfully ruffle her hair for that aid), Kee's going to adress Kogeki in a still frantic and must-prevent-death mode. "You want to catch one of these Abomasnow, do you? You do, right, why would you bring up these Dusk and that UltraBall otherwise, correct? Please, PLEASE catch that female exemplar here, capture her and send her to the PC so that a Nurse Joy and the best doc they have available in the Center can patch up these nasty wounds, she'll die otherwise, she CAN'T do that! Don't have any UltraBalls, can't do that myself..." He basically soft-begs the ninja to do that, and takes a deep breath before adding "She... She's some sort of leader for that group of Snover, and you have no idea how painful and whatelse it is to loose a close one from one second to the other due to another Pokemon's doing!!!"

Kee'd totally snatch these Balls from Kogeki to go for that lethally-damaged Abomasnow if he's refusing, just so that you know.

EDIT: If it's possible that the catch attempt goes off before the Burn and Poisoning are healed (Spirit did not specify clearly which one he'll capture) or further are inflicted with the intention to make this capture easier, that's alright.

Kogeki would like to try capture one of those Abomasnow. 3 Dusk Ball and 1 Ultra Ball. The other fainted one. Unless someone wants?

Which Abomasnow exactly are you referring to?  The Lethally damaged Female or the Male?

Kogeki simple said to Kee: "Understood. Its not in my plans let a Pokemon die. I may a ninja but a blood killer. Randolph. Karen. If you could you help me capture the male one too, professor Rowan could reward all of us handsome too. And I think this Male Abomasnow would be even more angered if we simple left him alone without her mate I supose."

In both I supose, in case Rans or Karen doesnt have enough Pokeballs. If the female one be captured without great problems, the remained pokeballs will be used to capture the male Abomasnow. 

Kogeki approach the Abomasnow and grab the Mega Stone. He check up for a few seconds, and then throw to Kee. "Here. A little apologize gift for what I said before. You can sell for a handsome prize. Or keep to you in case you want a Abomasnow who have a bond with. You are indeed a strong trainer indeed."

Kogeki then focus in capture the couple of Abomasnow. The first sequence of pokeballs will be used on the female one.

(If Kogeki is going to Catch the Female, then I'm willing to Capture the Male Abomasnow instead, first using a Great Ball to gauge how much Will it has [Or outright catch it, hopefully] and if it has 4 or more Will he'd start using Dusk Balls to capture it. If both Abomasnows could be Paralyzed by Magneton too before we catch either of the Snows, that'd be nice.)

(I object to you tossing the Mega Stone to Kee, as I want it and they said they didn't really want to own one of the Snow Devils. If you want to keep it for yourself, though I guess that's fine....)

[Spiritmon]

Also @Dragonstrike, since now the danger finally pass, Kogeki make a quick change in his team: He send the now fainted Heracross and Nagi to his PC and put Larvitar and Hime in their places.

"In fact Kee, dont you think Randolph could make a better use with that Mega Stone? He is a powerfull trainer, and I supose you dont have a Mega Ring yet, Rans could make a better use. Besides, he show he can control powerfull behemoth pokemon."

That just gets a smug expression from colorful rave-guy. "Well, nope, to late, you should think b'fore you act out of a whim. (¬‿¬ ) Anyone can control a raging and dangerous Pokemon if just knowing how to and putting their mind and heart into it. Depends also how you define a 'dangerous Pokemon' - a single bite from my Minyan will send you to emergency room of hospital due to sepsis, and yet he's listening to me."

(Final words on that Megastone are discussed privately.)

[Dragonstrike]

I'll assume Karen Paralyzes them with Magneton.  No Burn or Poison because those were treated ASAP by Kee.  There will be a reduction for Confusion, though, as Abomasnow A was KOed while Confused.

Gene walks up with Octavia shortly after the Abomasnow have been captured.

"Well, the blizzard's gone, and you're all fine, so I suppose that means you've defeated the Abomasnow, yes?  Where are they, though?"

He looks at Kee to ask him a question as well.  "And why was your Sylveon so insistent that I go to the kitchen and get some food?"

"Do what ya will with 'em, Sekhmet.  Just end this battle, one way or another."

L: (1)
D: (6)(3)(1)(1)

The albino hippo just grunts and begins analyzing the situation.

The Snowstorm Round 2


Dig 3
Unlikely to harm Abomasnow, but it doesn't need to.  Sekhmet just burrows away from Abomasnow now that her adversary has been fainted all but guaranteed.  She wasn't running away.  She was 100% confident that she had already won.

With the second Abomasnow finally fainted, victory has been achieved at last! (Victory Fanfare - Octopath Traveler)  ...even if it was a little anticlimactic because the male Abomasnow ended up KOing itself.

There's still the matter of the Sinjoh Ruins and the Mystri Stage themselves, but the Howling Snowstorm that was terrorizing this area and starting to encroach upon Snowpoint City trough strange, unknown means has been stopped.

Randolph's Hippowdon is off to the side, ignoring everyone besides Randolph.  Both Abomasnow lay unconscious in the middle of the path (the female is still Lethally burned and badly poisoned, and will eventually die if not attended to soon).  Stella is shaking in Kee's arms, looking for comfort.  That was a scary situation!

Now that the blizzard has stopped, everyone can also clearly see two things: the Sinjoh Ruins themselves, which look old and imposing.  And night has fallen.

(...)

Unbeknownst to everyone, Randolph let out a small *Sigh* of relief when his war goddess lumbered forward to oppose the Mega Abomasnow couple, closing his eyes briefly and shaking his head minutely to himself before crossing his arms and sternly watching the rest of the battle unfold. It was a big gamble to send her out to finishing cutting down those evergreen terrors, but it looked like it'll pay off.

All's there left for him to do now is await the outcome of this clash between titans, and hope his was the one that would win.....

(...)

As the macho snowman cleaned its own clock with their Ice Punch,  Ran grinned like an extremely satisfied Persain that ate the Pidgey and drank a carton of cream, soon letting off a booming laugh as the Howling Snowstorm petered out.

"AH HA HA HA HA! Winter's over, ya big cold bastards! Now it's our time of the year now! AH HA HA HA HA!"

Once he was done gloating over their defeat by everyone, he uncrossed his arms and walked over to his albino hippo (staying a respectful distance away from her, too) and gave her a short but thankful nod.

"Great job mulching those Abomasnow, Sekhmet, and thank ya for doing it. Really appreciate it, and to show you that I mean what I say...."

He then pull out the bag of Gourmet Food he purchased for her earlier (Sweet Potato flavor, since I've hear hippos like to eat them) , opened it up, and gave it to her.

"Here ya go. Your favorite. Hope ya enjoy, girl."

After awaiting her reaction, he'd let her enjoy her treat before returning her, and walking back over to his partners with a smile on his face. This battle overall has left him feeling distinctly enthusiastic and peppy, which was a welcome change from his previous cold, grumpy, and stern disposition post Snow Temple for him and likely everyone else! No longer was he in a poor mood, no sir, and what a good thing that was!

When the battle end, Kogeki said impressed. "Now I understand why you tell us to not summon our Pokemon. Pretty impressive."

"You call that impressive? I rather call that egoistic, reckless and whatelse!!! But...." Kee takes a deep breath to calm his voice, "At least he warned us beforehand this time."

(Albino suits that shiny better than the OD Green)

"At least he warned us beforehand this time."

Karen shares that sentiment; "True."

The stealth expert's praise only served to bolster his good mood, prompt them to clasp them on their leg/waist in a friendly manner and let off another bark of laughter.

"Ah ha ha! Yeap, Sekhmet sure is! She's a mean, cantankerous beat that's wickedly Smart, but when she does cooperate.....well, you've seen the results for yourself! Just like me, ah ha ha!"

Kee's sour rebuke served to deflate the bristly blacksmith's cheer somewhat, though, causing him to frown lightly at the youngster and cross his arms at them.

"I'd call it saving the rest of our Pokemon from suffering freeze burn, but that's just me opinion. Think what ya wish, Kee."

Their grudging (and Karen's less grudging) concession to him giving a warning does grunting acceptance from him.

"Thank ya. I learn from my mistakes, so they shan't happen again. Least, when I'm the one in charge of something. Can't and won't take the blame for fuck ups out of mine and in spite of my supervision."

Kogeki simple said to Kee: "Understood. Its not in my plans let a Pokemon die. I may a ninja but a blood killer. Randolph. Karen. If you could you help me capture the male one too, professor Rowan could reward all of us handsome too. And I think this Male Abomasnow would be even more angered if we simple left him alone without her mate I supose."

Kogeki approach the Abomasnow and grab the Mega Stone. He check up for a few seconds, and then throw to Kee. "Here. A little apologize gift for what I said before. You can sell for a handsome prize.

(Final words on that Megastone are discussed privately.)

Kogeki's request gets a quick nod from him. "Certainly, partner. Wouldn't want to leave these big christmas trees to get back up and run around freely again either, as [i]another white out blizzard from them is the last thing anybody needs."

Unsaid was that he too didn't want either of them to die either, but that notion was clear from the way his shoulders sagged in relief when the Female Abomasnow was put out and Captured. His own went quite well too, and was sent off to his PC for treatment and containment for the unforseeable future. Eventually he'd get to bonding with them, but between Zorn and Sekhmet he had his hands full of unruly Pokemon to tame right now. Notably, with their acquisition, he now had a Snow Warning Pokemon, another addition to his collection of Weather Setting Pokemon. All's left for him to obtain now was a Pokemon with Drizzle, and it'd be complete! Hmm.....maybe he could get a Pelipper later from Old Fashion.....

He was less than pleased with the sly guy fecklessly tossed over the Abomasite to Kee, and even less so when the sour dandy gave their smarmy refusal to pass it over to him. To his credit, however, the dwarven craftsman didn't blow up at either of them. Instead, he pinched the bridge of his nose hard enough to leave his thumbprint on it, took a DEEP breath, and let out a most aggrevated *SIGH* at both display before he turned away and resolutely resumed ignoring/snubbing Kee. So they wanted to be that way, huh? Well FINE. See if he cares. Fat lot of good that Mega Stone will do them anyway without either a Abomasnow or Key Stone, hmpt....
[/i]

Gene walks up with Octavia shortly after the Abomasnow have been captured.

"Well, the blizzard's gone, and you're all fine, so I suppose that means you've defeated the Abomasnow, yes?  Where are they, though?"

He looks at Kee to ask him a question as well.  "And why was your Sylveon so insistent that I go to the kitchen and get some food?"

"*Nods* Yup. Gone with the wind, the Abomasnow and the blizzards they brought are. As for where they are now, I caught one and sent it to my PC, and the other....well, that's why Kee's Slyveon came to fetch ya and some of your grub. Female Abomasnow ended up taking a hellsih amount of Lethal burns from my Brigid's INFERNO, and they need to be Stabilized and patched up pronto 'fore their condition worsens. Think ya can help us with that, sir?"

After that's sorted out, Randolph at last turns his attention the Sinjoh Ruins, the very local that the deranged Mega Abomasnow had worked tirelessly to block access, his demeanor now serious and firm as bedrock.

"Reckon it's time for all of us to check the Ruins and Mystri Stage, and see for ourselves why those mean and bone freezing greens was guarding this place so zealously? Sooner we get to the bottom of this, the sooner we can wrap up our investigation and head back to Snowpoint. *Mumbles* Old Fashion will definitely get a kick out of what we've discovered so far, or I ain't got a PhD in Geology...."

[Dragonstrike]

Gene's turn to pinch his nose and sigh.

"...of course that's where they are...well, it's not my place to say what you can and can't do.  I'm sure the Snover will find new leadership among their ranks, given enough time."

*rolls*

Everyone except Kee sees one of the Snover peeking around a corner, silently watching the party.  Gene doesn't seem to pay them any mind, though, and continues talking.

"Well, show me the Abomasnow you used Inferno on, and I'll make sure they're patched up right quick.  And once you're all ready, I'll show you the Sinjoh Ruins proper."

"*Huffs* I did warn ya that I was going to try catching them, so I don't see why you're complaining now. 'Sides, I think its a bad idea letting them run loose, after all the trouble they brewed up. *Shrugs* If ya want them freed to lead them Snovers, though, I'm willing to negotiate for it. I ain't a unreasonable bastard - just a plain o' old one. If they cause ya winter weather problems again, however, then you can't say I didn't tell ya so."

He'd gestures to the Dusk Ball Kogeki caught the Female Abomasnow in (If he didn't send it off to the PC), and leaves it to them to release them for treatment. 

Ran's obviously ready, but he'll wait on everyone else. Haste makes waste or deadly mistakes, and there is safety in numbers, after all....
