[Lord Windos]

Nincada slowly comes closer. He looks really nervous - you should probably take it easy on him.

Michael: (3)
Nincada: (5) + 1* Dex + 3 Survival = 9

Noticing how timid the frosted Bug was at the prospect of fighting his big brawny brother, Ventus leaned over to them and softly whispered to them: "Normally I wouldn't ask this of you, but would you mind restraining your full might and let them have a fair shot at beating you? A crushing defeat would hardly do its spirits any wonder, nor would a fast pace battle do any good in thawing it out, so be gentle with them alright my brother?" , before waving them onward to confront the Nincada. Michael at first shot them an odd look at their request, as the very concept of 'holding back' and 'fighting fair' were almost entirely foreign concepts to this macho mushroom given how his master normally operates, but in the end they shrugged it off and complied with the demands easily, waltzing onto the battlefield and (once both were readied) began to lightly pummel it with some Mach Punches. If anything, it be a good chanced to flex his muscle without overexerting himself, so let this pseudo sparing session began, ORAH!

Order: Have Michael use Restrained Mach Punches three times per round to try and slowly whittle down/give the Nincada a fair shake, as even using Tackle or Strike would probably be overkill on the poor guy, let alone Façade or Stone Edge! If he falls bellow 3 HP, though, he'll switch to using unrestrained Absorbs to prevent himself from being Fainted. He'll stop attacking them if they are one hit away from being KOed and/or if they wish to stop fighting. He's going to give them a chance, but he's not let them walk all over him if he can help it! If they start evolving mid fight, though, pause combat to see the results!

Moves:

Mach Punch
Accuracy: 9D6 Base - 3/4/5 Actions = 6/5/4D6 Dice
Damage: STR (3) + 2 + STAB - NE - Vitality (2) = 4D6 - 1 Base Damage, which restrained should only be half that, right?
Effect: Priority!

Absorb
Accuracy: Same as Mach Punch
Damage: STR + 1 + STAB - Vitality = 3D6 Damage
Effect: 1 HP Gained per hit, if it damages them.
