Gym Leader Dagny vs Shiva Round 11, Final Round!


When Shiva has entered the Gym alongside her newest Psychic Type, Ventus and Heart as well as following Nathan who has already moved on to the Gym alongside his Kirlia and Formeo and ended up relying on Shirley's gentle help to even find the challenger's area, she would have never thought how close and intense her own battle against the Steel Wonder would turn out to be. She was nervous about even attending the battle, fearing how she'd fail spectacularly against the cold steel and strength Dagny was, constantly telling herself how she sould still cancel it all together - when a different voice whispered to her more than once that there's no return. The moment she saw that Gym as the group arrived in Stair City with all its trailtracks and a Metagross, she subliminally KNEW she'd have to enter it one day or the other if she wanted to become stronger, if she wanted to not just stand there in the background behind the natural battlers forevermore but do something against it. ...But what does define a 'strong Trainer', actually? Does not backing down in such situations/issues count to it?

Whether it does or not, it was undenyable that this battle, while it had a weird positive feeling about it, was stressing Shiva. It's easily the most meaningful battle she's having since she'd been dealing with Pokemon! She's nervous, anticipated, worried and indeed holding her breath after another earthquake shattered the battlefield and the pool of water containing her Pokemon, delighted to bits that she has reached that far at all, fearful, somewhat exhausted, somewhat warmed by the other's support... Her hand with Vaporeon's Pokeball was trembling as she was already drawing it to emergency recall her Vaporeon.

...an emergency recall that wasn't necessary at all! Immediately, Shiva was back in this game of who will fall first, her waterly Eeveelution or Dagny's steely mole? Hand was still trembling as she packed the Pokeball away for now, and similar like Dagny she has come as close to the glass as it allows, touching the glass lightly. "You're still able to fight, Vaporeon, thank you... Just, thank you. I know you're tired and pained. Your foe is too. But we have reached this far... please end this with a powerful blow, GIVE EVERYTHING YOU CAN BRING UP. Here is your chance to play tricks with your foe, the trick of fainting them against all odds!"

Vaporeon took one last deep breath, then suprisingly agressively leaped forward in the pool of water, aiming for Excadrill!



-----------------
A Will Point is spent to make Vaporeon ignore that -3 Pain here, get that mole!

Accuracy Roll SINGLE WATER PULSE!: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel -3 Pain = 8d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 2 power of the move +1 STAB = 6d6, +1 autodamage due to SE.
Additional notes: All the move has to do is hit! If Dagny evades a move with an Accuracy consisting of eight dice, I'd be suprised. Oh, just in case there are 3 CD to confuse Excadrill again as confusion has been healed.
