Iceclimber Round 3

It's down to just Vanillite and Ekans...no, Nincada...no, Oshawott! Larry frantically pages through his Pokedex, looking at type matchups.

"Vanillite, now that Ponyta is out of the way, try Icicle Spear! Try to pen him in if you can't hit him! This is your specialty, you got this!"

Icicle Spear
Accuracy: 6 dice, -3 for successive actions = 3/2/1 dice
(6)(4)(2) one hit
(2)(1) one miss
(6) and another hit

Dmg: 3 dice, -1 dice vitality, -1 point resist
(1)(1) Oh.
(5)(2) Also no damage. Oshawott was the right choice, thanks blessed Pokedex.

Two spears glance off Oshawott's scalchop, and the other lands right in front of him. He almost crashes into it, but instead uses it as a launching point for his next Tackle.

Tackle
(6)(2) hit
(4)(1) Vanillite takes 1 damage and has 3hp left.

Iceclimber Round 4

"Complete the cage."

Icicle Spear
Accuracy pyramid:
(6)(6)(6), this character would have 18 strength
(1)(2)
(1)

Dmg:
(4)(2) Oshawott shrugs off another attack, but now he is penned in on three sides by icicles. He decides to sliding tackle through them: any leftover damage will carry on to Vanillite.

Tackle
Acc: (4)(4) hit
(4)(5) Oshawott crashes through the icicles embedded in the ground and smashes into Vanillite, too. Vanillite has 2hp left and is at -1 pain. Oshawott, of course, feels no pain.

Iceclimber Round 5

"Try to be more precise, Vanillite! We need solid hits!" Just two actions this time.

Icicles

Accuracy: 6 dice, -1 pain, -2 actions = 3 dice and 2 dice
(5)(1)(5)
(5)(1)

Dmg:
(4)(4)
(5)(3)
Oshawott takes just one damage

Tackle
(3)(1) miss. Oshawott is breathing heavily, not used to long combats, but he is mostly whole.

Iceclimber Round 6

"If you win this battle, Vanillite, I'll teach you another attack!"

Icicle Spear
Acc:
(4)(5)(6)
(6)(1)

Dmg:
(1)(1)
(4)(5)

Oshawott now has 2 hp

Tackle
(6)(5)
(2)(4) Vanillite takes 1 damage

Iceclimber Round 7 a new record, I think

"One last shot, Vanillite!"

(4)(1)(3)
"Well, two last shots, I mean."
(4)(1)

All four of these damage dice have to be successes or Oshawott will win!

(4)(5)
(5)(3) SO CLOSE!

Oshawott takes 1 damage and Vanillite is withdrawn before Oshawott can finish it off.

"I won't risk you fainting, Vanillite. Larry, you're the winner. Here's 150$ for you and 150$ for Nathan. I've also got a pair of warm gloves for each of you; what color would you like?"

AAACHOOOOOOOOOO!!! The tree where Cubchoo was sitting is suddenly bereft of leaves. A huge pile of them lies beneath the tree now, glowing a frosty blue.

"Oh?" Kierkegaard brushes off the leaves, revealing that most of the huge mound is white fur. "Can it be? You're a Beartic now! You've evolved! Oh, Cubchoo Cubchoo Cubchoo! Now we can tame Mt. Sentry in style!"

He turns to Larry. "Thank you for the training. As you can see, it paid off for Cubchoo! Please tell your friend I said thank you. See you on the slopes? C'mon Beartic!"
