[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

"Pyrric though it may be, it was still a win for me, and that cost was worth it in my eyes."

"*Has an amused and thoughtful look at you send out Ayame* Ah, I see...using Ayame as a way to discover my last Pokémon, and then preparing for it in advance. *Claps their hands together and smiles even more brightly* How cleverly Knowledgeable of you, sir! Most of my matches are against people, and I mean no offense to you or all the other opponents I face....not all that gear for critical thinking, so its not to often I encounter such strategic action! Regular Trainers just throw out their strongest Pokémon or directly try to counter whatever creature an opponent has, and it makes fighting them quite the bore *Rolls their eyes while saying the word and hrumpts before resuming smiling*. Its honestly refreshing to fight someone that knows how to properly use their grey matter, so once again I sincerely extend my gratitude once more for challenging me like so, in addition to putting up a great fight!"

Fluidity gave you a formal bow after they finished their long speal, and from you could feel it was completely genuine. Come to think of it, you now vaguely recall they felt bored and unchallenged when you first approached them, and now thanks to your efforts you've managed to re-kindle their interests once more! Good job?

The thrill seeking thespian then pull out one last Priemer Ball and tossed it onto the field, and out come a Salazzle as they stand tall, alert, and ready/raring for a battle! A really tall and masculine looking lizard, so this one must no doubt be a Male! Where does this eccentric collector get all these abnormal 'Off Gender' Pokémon?

Guess it doesn't really matter now, as you have more important things to do: like winning this fight!

Initiatives:

Ayame: *4 + (1) = 5
Salazzle *7 + (4) = 11

Macho Salazzle goes first, then Ayame.

Oddity Fluidity Battle Round 14!

Well, if Ayame gets to do something somehow (oh hey, Heatproof might come in handy here...), the choice of what to do is obvious, right?

A single Drill Run!



Funnily enough, Male Salazzle are also technically possible according to canon 'Dex entries.  Male Salandit apparently don't evolve partially because they're malnourished (due to giving all their food to the females).  The more you know, right?

...makes ya wonder what Fluidity was feeding her Salandit if the result was this...




I'm getting semi off topic, though. Back to the battle!
