Encore on a Pokemon who just woke up...that's low! (Or very clever, depending on how you look at it.)

Gigalith and Golem Round 2

(...)

Hex 2
(2)(1)(1)(6)(5)(2)
(1)(4)(5)(6)(6)(2) Gigalith faints.

Magical Leaf 2
(6)(2)(3)(4)
(5)(2)(5) +2 Golem takes 4 dmg and faints.

The way is clear! Ventus has 8Xp to give his Pokemon, and gets 4 for himself.

Don't forget, the rest of the party will need to get across that chasm.

(Let it be said that Ventus never fights more fair than what the rules demand/he can get away with! He's pragmatic and cut throat when required, yes he is!)

Letting out a great big *Sigh* of relief as his clever thinking and both Raphael and Malphena combined assault brought total ruin to Golem and Gigalith, Ventus began to calmly survey the scene and mulling over what should be done from here. The now fiendish spirit hunted down the fleeing Gigalith, whooping and crackling in dark glee as they fearfully (and futility) tried to escape her bewitching power before she cursed its soul on last time! Yes, yes, RUN and be afraid Rock types, for it make her feast in the end all the mores scrumptious, te he he!!! His cherish cherub, meanwhile, couldn't help but briefly snicker at ironically demolishing a type they were weak too and at their sister's 'fun' while she enjoyed her post battle meal, before they suddenly blinked at those negative thoughts and shook their head to clear it with a slight worried frown. Nasty Plot may make themselves stronger, but such sinister plotting and feelings brought upon by the Move were alien and always discomforting to them after its influence wanes, and makes them wonder if such power was worth the price in the end ....

Eventually, after some brainstorming of his own and running some estimates on what both Rock types were worth, Ventus opted to just leave the duo alone for the most part, with him recalling Raphael for some well deserved rest and summoning Apsis in their place to help move them off to the side and away from the edge and searching them for any Items and pocketing them. Well, after Malphena had her fill of their fear, of course!  Before his Encounter with Chandelure he might have contemplated just killing the both of them to be on the safe side, but now being enlightened and more conscientious of his......less savory tendacies, he was content of shunting them off to the side. Besides, if they woke up in time they could deal with any Scimitars or people of ill repute and/or delay them, so leaving the alive was entirely in the group's best interests!

Once that task was done, the sociologist took one last good look around the area to make sure all was clear, before smiling and nodding his head and beconned his bewitching sister to his side, with her gleefully obeying with a wickedly content smile and a full tummy.  He then went over to Tropius and mounted them once more, and flew back over to the spot the group designated and waited for everyone to return so that he could give his report and suggest a plan of action to cross the chasm.

"You will be pleased to hear that I have successfully dispatched both the Golem and Gigalith that were barring our way previously with minimal trouble - no, I did not slay them Nathan, in case you were wondering (He only says that part if he suspect they don't trust him not to act cold bloodily) - so we can now proceed unhindered once we all cross the chasm. As for how to do that, I propose we simply have Shiva's Tropius fly us over it one at a time, as that worked quite well for myself. If we want to expedite the process or do not want to overly tire out Tropius, then Nathan could have Ditto Transform into them so that two people at once can be ferried across, reducing the amount of round trips needed substaintially and saving time in the long run. Raphael could also serve to fly someone across if they are tightly bounded to them, but I rather not resort to that option unless we have dire need to vacate this area ASAP. Lucifer can provide Tailwinds to greatly speed up the trips too, though given they were injured in battle I'd like to request that either Ralts or Gustav give them a bit of healing to facilitate his work Pain and discomfort free. Does anyone have objections or additions they wish to add to this plan?"
