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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

The thick metal gate sloooowly opens after you input the access codes, creating PLENTY of racket as it fully retracts into the side of the wall. You can bet that ALL the little hell spawn heard that, like a giant dinner bell signaling the latest appetizers to their gluttenous destruction.

Joy.

BEYOND tense already, everyone moves through the opening and into The Nuclear Research Facility Courtyard....

...and minutes afterwards the gate automatically grinds to close behind you, locking you in. Fortunately their is also a keypad on this side that will let you open it again and get back out! ...Not that its all that helpful right now, but still, your not TOTALLY trapped here at least!

Right off the bat, you notice three prominent things.

One, a white paved path that leads directly to a large fountain, which circles around it and straight to the entrance of the NRF Building. The fountain itself has a tall statue with a Neil Bohr Era Atomic Model of Uranium, which weakly spouted water into the murky pool bellow. The NRF itself....well, it just looked like a typical brick and mortal building: short and blocky, with a thick coat of white paint on it (No doubt based, natch). You could probably assume its well fortified despite its humble appearances, though; the walls and guard towers are hardly subtle indicators. From what you all can see, the NRF is one story tall and is composed of two sections: a large central building, and a small branch on the west connected by a long, narrow section.


 All in all, it didn't look nearly as imposing as you would expect a place taken over by Corrupted Nuclear Pokémon and a Mad Scientist would be!

Well, were it not for the copious amounts of blood spatter that coated the walkway. No bodies or remains present to indicate where it all came from, but their is plenty of scraps of clothing and unsalavagable material...

...Okay, maybe this place is living up to its reputation after all.

Two, the court yard is of moderately large size, and it is completely overgrown with Long Grass. Using the Foutain as a central refrence, you could divide the court yard into two halves, West and East. 

The West Side held the Sentry Tower, what looked to be a.....brutally mutilated corspe, and......what looked to be several normal Pokémon?! Oh my, how the hecky did they manage to survive uncorrupted?!

The East held what looked to be a small groves of delicious trees, and, to your surprise, a couple of unravaged Berry Fields! …And no doubt who knows what else lies in wait in the Tall Grass beyond.

Third and finally, was a MULTITUDE of Ratattas and a LARGE Raticate, all radiating a sickly green glow and staring right at you all.

All of the radioactive rodents eyes were blank white, filled with nothing but frothing HATRED for all that was not Corrupted Kin and hunger.

*HISS!!!!*

...Yeap, they're now swarming in mass towards you all, alright.

Lovely.

Ambush Encounter! All Opponent get + 2 Initiative! This fight will not count towards the Countdown.

Group C: 9 + (6) = 15
Group D: 9 + (4) = 13
Group E: 9 + (4) = 13
Group F: 9 + (1) = 10

The First Nuclear Horde

@Dragonstrike
They are outnumber. Six groups of Ratatas, with 5 five Rarata each one. And big Raticate. "Hmm, thirty and one Nucmons to deal with. Even they are only Ratata, we cant let our guard down. To bad Melchior and Zeus dont have kind of spread move." Then Arial have a idea. "Reiner. Mr. Lindworm. Let me care of that Raticate. If there is something I know about Nucmons, is even when they dangerous, they fear something with greater power. That Raticate is problably the leader and Alpha of the group. If we beat him, the other ratata will run or at least have less courage to face us. Reiner, what gonna be our course of action?"

(Aka to go boom with your strategy. If you gonna use it warn Arial now.)

Yeah, that horde approaching immediately gets a nasty sounding @$#%! from Reiner.

One of Reiner's Key Stones starts glowing immediately, too!  And so does Metagross!  Metagross is now first in the Initiative due to the Mega Boost!

"We're gonna blow these suckers away.  I don't want to face 30 normal Rat pokemon at the same time on a good day.  Arial, Lindworm, hunker down for a bruising!  Frosslad, run cleanup!"  'And  it would be great if you would help Frosslad with that, Mew!'

Suffice to say, Metagross doesn't stop glowing after it's Mega Evolved.

Heeeeere it comes...the roleplay section's debut usage of...

EXPLOSION!!! (non-lethal, though.  Don't want any of our characters to die here because of one of our own attacks, after all)
Accuracy: 14 
Damage: 15 base!!!  And +1 SE damage to all those Normal/Nuclear types!, -1 Damage to all the Steel types/characters with armor of some kind
Effect: M-Metagross faints, but hopefully takes every single one of these glowing green monstrosities with it!
Note: Conditional Will Point for this move!  ...though I seriously hope it doesn't need it.

Frosslad, meanwhile, carries on without a care for what's happening since he's completely immune to the carnage Metagross is about to cause.

Powder Snow x3 (Frost Breath instead if there's only a single target left)
Accuracy: 11 base - 3/4/5 = 8/7/6 D6
Damage: 2 + 3* + STAB + SE = 6 D6 base + 1 damage
Effect: Freeze (1).  Hits 5 targets simultaneously

And Mew can use her own spread move to aid in the cleanup if some rats happen to survive.

Dazzling Gleam x3 (Aura Sphere instead if there's only a single target left)
Accuracy: same as Powder Snow
Damage: 3 + 4 + SE = 7 D6 base + 1 damage
Effect: Hits 5 targets simultaneously

...or maybe she decides to try and Evade the Explosion or use a different number of actions instead.  We'll see.  She can heal up afterwards, though, and these rats need to be disposed of, so maybe she won't?

Reiner is going to try and Evade the Explosion to halve any incoming damage.
Evade: 3 + 5 + 2 = 10 dice before action bonus/penalties.  (not sure if this is a single action or second action since the only other thing Reiner is doing this Round is using a Key Stone)



Well, let's see if this plays out in the way we hope it will...
