Earth Guardians Round 1 cont

Ember 2
(5)(2)(1)(6)
All this does is defrost Orthros. He shakes himself off, getting water all over Nathan.

A Gliscor comes swooping at Shiva, arms and wings spread as wide as possible, looping and dive bombing her and her Pokemon!

Acrobatics 2
(4)(2)(3)(3)
Shiva is granting a small amount of cover.
5 Str + 4 power + 1 stab - 3 vit = 7d6. Shiva will take 2 of those.
(2)(1) Phew! The attack only removes Shiva's sleeve.
(1)(1)(3)(3)(5) Nightshade is revealed, trembling, but only taking the minimum of damage to one of her leaves. 1 dmg 5/6hp.

Nightshade hops down to fight on her own.

The other Gliscor flies upward, and the earth follows as if Gliscor is a powerful magnet. It rises to engulf Orthros and Nathan's position.

Earthpower 2
(4)(4)(6)(5)
5 Str + 3 power + 1 STAB -3 vit = 6 dice, Nathan will take 1.
(1) He merely feels the natural magic wash over him, muddying his clothes but doing no damage. It leaves him with a major sense of awe, much like Princess was displaying earlier.
(4)(5)(3)(5)(5) Orthros takes 5 dmg and faints in Nathan's arms.

Kabuto evaded last turn.

Kirlia, seeing his comrade fall in battle, tries to calm his worried mind. He feels Nathan's edge of despair. This will help not only in battle but in coping. But he's too cold.

Theo skates over and strikes the massive bear again.
Metal Claw 2 on Beartic.
(2)(1)(1)(2)(3)(2) He skates right on past. Whee!

After You 2
(3)(2)(3)(4)(6)
Gustav moves to the top of the initiative order

He fires off another Bubble. Since Gible fainted, he manages to hit all the enemies!

Bubble 2
(4)(5)(2)(1)(3)(1) Success
6 dice. Beartic will take 5d6+1. Gliscor 4d6+1. Surprisingly, much like Beartic, Kabutops takes an extra damage (4d6+1)
(1)(1)(1)(4)(4) Beartic takes 3 dmg. 1/11hp -3 pain.
The Gliscor take 2 dmg. 5/9hp -1 pain.
Kabutops takes 2 dmg. 4/9hp -2 pain.
Chance: (4)

More leaves come from Shiva's hand, their cheerful source exposed.
Magical Leaf 2
(5)(6)(2)(4)
Kabutops gains 2 def from Sandstorm. Since most of his damage comes from the supereffectiveness, I won't bother to edit last post for this.
(1)(2) Kabutops takes 3* dmg 1/9hp -3 pain. This time, the monster is already rushing toward Theo, both raising their blades at each other defiantly. The attack from the revealed Cherubi isn't a very strong one, but it tears right through Kabutops' weakened defenses and strange vulnerability.

Beartic, wounded quite badly, raises his claws and roars to summon a blizzard. But the sandstorm overwhelms it. (not enough dice).

Koa moves on to the male Gliscor, which he seems to have a great hatred for. While it recovers from attacking Shiva, he dives over there and attacks it. Shiva finds herself holding 40 pounds of angry dragon.

Slash 2
(2)(1)(3)(2)(3)(2) As you can imagine, this is not a good vantage to attack from. The attack fails.

Gustav is now at the top!

Water Pulse 3
(4)(3)(6)(5)(1)
(4)(4)(1)(6)(5)(6) Gliscor Male faints.

The female Gliscor dives on Gustav and begins to suck his juices with charged fangs. Vengeance for her mate.

Thunder Fang 3
(3)(5)
7 dice, -3 vit = 4d6+1
(5)(3)(3)(1) Gustav takes 2 dmg 4/6hp -1 pain
Chance: (2)(5)(4)
Flinch: (4)(2)(5)

Kabutops waves his sickles like he's conducting an orchestra. He stares at Theo, and earthpower leaps up to engulf him.

Earthpower 3
13 dice, -7 actions, -3 pain = 3d6
(2)(2)(3) Theo rides the wave, still staring down Kabutops.

Raphael can't use After You on Cottonee, so he elevates Theo instead, knowing that Valder is an employee of his master.

After You 3
(1)(6)(5)(6)

Magical Leaf 3
(2)(1)(2) The magic missile swerves and hits Kabutops.
(6)(5) That's an overwhelming amount of damage. He faints, one sickle sinking into the soft earth and holding him in place. The surviving Gliscor looks very worried.

Heart throws a Pokeball excitedly! When it reaches Kabutops, though, it flashes red without sucking him in, and lands in the snow without having attempted a capture. That can mean only one thing: Kabutops is already registered. (This does not normally expend the Pokeball).

Beartic overstressed himself earlier. He's breathing heavily, breath frosty on the vertical battlefield, but he's too tired to do more than swipe wearily at passing foes.

Slash 3
(6)(5)(1)(5)(4) Critical hit, thanks to tailwind. The dragon is still unscathed. Shiva feels the wind of this powerful attack almost cost her her balance. Ventus steadies her.
(2)(6)(6)(3)(3)(4)(6) Gliscor takes 4 dmg 1/9hp -3 pain.

So that leaves Beartic with 1HP and Gliscor with 1HP. Gible, Kabutops, and another Gliscor have already fainted.

The only usable Pokemon who declared 4 actions is Nightshade! She sails easily on the breeze, and calmly fires a Magical Leaf point blank into Beartic's face.

Magical Leaf 4
(2)(3) Her aim is terrible in this magical wind that closely envelopes you, but her power re-routes the leaf and it circles around and clips Beartic in the back of the head. Just need to roll one damage against a Pokemon with only 1 vit.
(6)(2)(4)(2)(1) Beartic faints.

The sandstorm rages. Gustav takes 1 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain
Lucifer takes 1 dmg and faints.
Kirlia takes 1 dmg4/7hp frozen
Raphael takes 1 dmg, his first in this battle.
Nightshade takes 1 dmg 4/6hp -1 pain.
Koa takes 1 dmg, his first.

Earth Guardians Round 2

All that needs to happen is dealing 1 damage to a Gliscor!
