Venipede Round 1

Viktor is confident in this strategy. He is happy to give it his best.

Confuse Ray
(3)(3)(6)(5)(5)
Venipede is confused!

Venipede goes swinging from one side of the mountain pass to the other, bouncing off stones, causing minor rockslides, and steamrolling Phantump a time or two.

Rollout
3 Dex + 3 Fight + 1 -1 accuracy -3 actions = 3/2/1
(6)(3)(2)
(4)(1) 2 hits.
(3)

2 Str + 1 power -3 vit = 1 dice, +1 dice for last hit - which happens to be on Venipede himself!!

Venipede goes careening around, but ends the Rollout too soon in confusion, exposing his soft innards to the rocks of the Divide.

(2)
(2)(5) Venipede takes 1 dmg while Phantump escapes unscathed. That's pretty great, I like visualizing that.

Venipede Round 2

Rollout
(4)(4)(4)
(1)(3)
(5)

(3) No damage to Phantump, who retreats inside his log
(6) 1 dmg to Venipede 3/5hp. I'm not going to count this pain penalty against his third attack. I'll rule that they all resolve simultaneously.
(5)(6) Phantump takes 2 dmg from the extra powerful final Rollout strike.

Feint Attack
(6)(2)(4)(6)
3 Str + 2 power -2 vit = 3 dice
(2)(2)(4) Venipede takes 1 dmg 2/5hp -2 pain
Poison Point: (6)(3)(6)
Phantump is poisoned

Phantump is tough enough to attempt to resist. (6) No poison damage this round.

Pokeball: (2)(6)
Will: 6 will, -2 pain, -1 for Confusion
(2)(1)(2) The dice were in your favor! Venipede was caught.

I must inform Heart that poison-type moves are not permitted in "noob friendly areas", such as Trillium town, Ginger Town, and the routes between them. That won't come into play for a long while though.

Phantump gains 4XP. Heart gains 3XP.

Venipede has Poison Point, Defense Curl, Rollout, Poison Sting, Pursuit, Protect, Agility.
0 Loyalty, 2 Disobedience, and 1 Happiness.
