[Iron]

Abaddon: (4) + 2 + 3 = 9
Swalot: (4) + 5 = 9
Gulpin: (3) + 1 dex + 4 survival = 8

Swalot Round 1

Kirlia traces Liquid Ooze. You think it's from Swalot but you aren't 100% sure.

Double Team 1
(4)(2)(6)(5)(4)(1)
Kirlia's evasion increases +2 as the lonesome swamp fills with Kirlia.

Safeguard 1
8 dice, -3 actions
(5)(4)(2)(4)(1)
An energy shield drops into place.

Abaddon starts jumping up and down in front of Kirlia, arms upraised, shouting in his own little language, like a basketball player trying to intercept a shot. But to his surprise, Swalot just comes barreling in at Kirlia with a full body tackle. While Abaddon was playing basketball, Swalot was playing pro wrestling. The blue demon is swept aside.

Body Slam 1
1 Dex + 4 Fight + 2 brawl -3 actions = 4d6
(4)(4)(2)(3)
3 Str +3 power -3 vit = 3d6
(3)(3)(5) Kirlia takes 1 dmg
Paralyze: (4)(3)(3) The ground where Kirlia lands is too soft.

Yawn 1
1 Dex + 3 Fight +3 canalize -3 actions = 4d6
(1)(4)(4)(5)
Through their telepathy, Kirlia prods Abaddon, doing his best to keep his sudden ally awake. Ventus can actually feel the faintest impression of this prod, when his senses are open. It feels like a single drop of black coffee.
In conjunction with Safeguard, this is a very effective strategy!
Especially since my movepool is filled with status effects lol.

Calm Mind 2
(3)(4)(1)(1)(5)
+1 Str +1 def
Kirlia thinks back on Flai Chi with Toxicroak. And maybe the spirit of Mutios helps a little too, who knows?

Charm 2
2 Dex + 3 fight +2 allure -4 actions =3d6
(6)(2)(6)
-2 Str for Gulpin

Acid Spray 2 - the lance of acid is aimed for Kirlia, but Abbadon is already moving to intercept it. He's about the same size as Kirlia, so he can get almost all of it. (Full body cover, 3 dice transferred to Abaddon)
(1)(2)(3) Or, no one could take damage.
Abaddon splashes with his four feet and knocks most of the spray away. With Telepathy, he can know which is the real Kirlia! (If Kirlia's his ally, that is)

Poison Gas 2
7 dice, -4 actions, -1 acc =2d6
(5)(1)
The poison gas flows against the energy shield and fades!

Confusion 3
(6)(2)(4)(2)
8 dice, -5 vit =3d6+1
(4)(4)(1) Swalot takes 3 dmg (assuming Kirlia instinctually goes for the bigger threat). 7/10hp -1 pain
Conf: (3)

Charm 3
(6)(1)
-2 Str has been spread to all enemies!

Stockpile 3
1 dex + 4 fight +3 canalize -5 actions -1 pain = 2d6
(3)(6)
Swalot absorbs swampwater and swells to a massive size!
+1 Def

Seeing its mentor do this, Gulpin tries it too!

Stockpile 3
(5)(3)
+1 def

Kirlia: 6/7hp 0 pain +1 def +1 str +1 evasion. Safeguard.
Abaddon: Full health. Safeguard.
Swalot 7/10hp stockpile 1 +1 def -2 Str
Gulpin full health stockpile 1 +1 def -2 Str

Kirlia's was sure tired of being poisoned every day! Maybe today he can go without?
