Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 5

Gyarados falls asleep. And stays that way, though one malicious eye stares sightlessly at Raphael.

Air Slash
(3)(5)(1)(4)
(3)(3) No damage.
Flinch is irrelevant I suppose.

Charm
(4)(1)
-2 Str to Gyarados

And yep, you still have dice left so Sky Attack can begin charging.

Insight: (6)(2)(6)(3) 2 successes out of 5.
2 rounds of Encore left.

Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 6

Sky Attack
(5)(3)(4)
2 Str + 6 power +1 STAB -3 vit = 6 dice
(5)(6)(3)(6)(2)(2) Gyarados takes 3 dmg 18/24hp.

"Whoa, so that's what Sky Attack looks like! That move is like a better version of Hyper Beam!"

Air Slash
(1)(2) Miss

Raphael is glowing!

Insight: (6)(4)(3)(4) Gyarados wakes up!

But another round of Encore is still coming up.

Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 6

Sky Attack
(1)(4)(3)
(4)(1)(2)(6)(5)(4) Gyarados takes 4 dmg 14/24
Flinch: (3)(4)(5)(4)(1)

"Whoo, this feels like deja vu all over again! You've got a brilliant routine set up there. My Pokemon doesn't even need orders!" He takes out a rod and starts fishing. "Gonna need protection if that Gyarados faints..."

Hyper Beam
(6)(2)(3)(3)
(3)(2)(4)(5) Raphael takes 1 dmg 4/9 hp. -2 pain now.

You see that the Fisherman is actually watching the battle, though pretending to fish. "Oh, I wish I could order him to use evasive action..." Ven's sharp hearing hears him mutter.

Yawn
(2)(4) with increased pain

Gyarados gets sleepy! Too late, he tries to dodge!

Glowing!

Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 7

Tomorrow you can let me know if you want to enable Encore again! Definitely creating a more level playing field for Apsis, though Raphael doesn't look like he'll make it unless that Sky Attack causes flinch - which it has a very good chance of doing!
