Shiva: (3)(2) = 5, a Kangaskhan leaps into the gully to separate you from the group! However, you do see a Tropius juuust out of reach...

Even if these Running Pokemon came closer, on the back of Swiftfire Shiva felt not overall hopeless and overrun (not literally!) by that situation. Things were dire, and she got the feeling that this was not yet all the mountains would have in stock for the group, but in that moment she felt an appreciation for Nathan that he was willing to help her with his fierly horse. That was surely what a friend would do, now was it?

Forcing herself to not look back too much, she carefull petted Swiftfire on the neck, trying to get her attention. "Do forgive me for jumping on you so suddenly, and thanks for not unseating me right away. You'll be rewarded afterwards, but for now please use Flame Charge to increase our speed!"

Accuracy Roll Flame Charge: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 0 Brawl = 5 D6
Effect: Raises Dext by 1, which enables encountering a Tropius!!!
Damage Roll: Pointless since we're not attacking anything.


That speed Swiftfire had on if flamecharged was certainly something new and unusual for Shiva as she never rode a Pokemon at full speed, and she had to take an effort to stay seated. This was exciting though if she was very honest to herself/will review this later on. As a side effect, she dared to look behind her... Only for a moment though, catching a glimpse on her other Team Members - 'deeply sorry for fleeing from you people, but I trust that you'll get along as you already participated in the Running yourselves...' - because a huge Kangaskhan leaped directly in the way, causing Swiftfire to balk at the sudden interruption. Weren't these Pokemon relatively rare to encounter? She remembered seeing Ventus on-screen struggling with one in Ginger Town, but... WAIT A MOMENT! Not too far away, she also spotted what looked to be a large green leaf... Almost looking like a wing... Adjusting her glasses to catch a closer look at it, it turned out to be a real and alive Tropius. Well, neat... Didn't Xiani (Reshiram bless her, wherever she currently is) named these as one of the rarest Pokemon encounterable on the Running? ...She did, and yet there was it in front of her... Wondering where it came from since this species usually resides in jungles can be saved for later.

"Swiftfire, don't be scared as you went through such a situation with Nathan already, and please use your speed to charge over that Kangaskan and bring me closer to that Tropius! You know, that green dragonlike Pokemon there in front of you!" Along the way, Shiva also summoned Braixen and Litwick to her - what a neat arrangement of Fire Types here. "Braixen, Litwick, no time to explain! All you need to know is that I desire to catch that grassy dragonlike Pokemon there. Braixen, chant for me as we need that right now aim for it with an Ember while you, Litwick, shoot it with a Confure Ray please!" In the other hand, a Pokeball will be held ready for the right moment...

--------------------------------
Accuracy Roll Lucky Chant: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 1 Perform - 2 Actions = 4 D6
Effect: Known, as it prevents crits for the foe and saves me from rolled Snake Eyes, while good things may happen to GM's discretion.

Accuracy Roll Ember1: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 3 actions = 5 D6
Damage Roll: 2 Strenght + 2 Power of the move + 1 Charcoal + + 1 STAB = 6 D6, +1 autodamage due to SE
Additional notes: 1 CD to inflict Burn1. Holding back just enough to save Tropius from reaching -2 Pain just yet.

Accuracy Roll Confuse Ray: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel = 8 D6
Effect: Confuses the Foe.

Further mechanics: Inflicting -1 Pain Penalization on Tropius and reducing its will via Confusion even more, before Pokeball #1 is tossed at it. Tossing a second one if it breaks, then please pausing to adjust to the situation. I want a Tropius that doesn't dislike Shiva for catching it, and I'll make sure to get it!
