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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Reiner and Lindworm make their way towards the Berry Fields, but just before they got halfway their the excommunicated acolyte stops their partner and motions for them to crouch low with, then pointed at the now more visible fields.

...and discover just why Giegeroach and his collective waited you to clear the Berries Fields: They were being occupied and patrol by two packs of Nuclear Growltihe…

Alert Roll (Lindworm and Reiner) : INS (3) + Survival (3) + Alert (3) + Double Sighters (2) = 11D6 Dice
(1)(6)(1)(6)(6)(5)(2)(6)(5)(5)(2) 6 Successes!

...and are able to get a pretty accurate assessment of their numbers/composition, as well as what useful Berries (AKA: Held Item Berries, not Food/Pokeblock/Medicine Powder Fodder) lie in the main two fields.

Each pack of Nuclear Growlithe is compose of 6 individuals, and lead by a Nuclear Arcanine. They have a pattern in their guarding/patrolling patterns: one pack stays put at one of the berry fields, while the other makes a looping patrol around the perimeter of the two fields before returning to the guarding pack, switches roles with them, and goes off to guard the other berry field. For a pack of  berserk/near mindless Corrupted Nucmons, these ones are surprisingly coordinated. In Berry Field 1, their are 3 Sitrus  and 3 Halfi Plants, and in Berry Field 2 their are 2 Riskuo and Leppa Berries. Of course, all those Berries are forfeit to Giegeroach and friends as part of your deal (and they would DEFINATELY notice and not like it if you tried to be sneaky and take ANY of those Held Berries), so its not like that intel matters.

The two surmise that if you time your assault right, both could either Ambush the Guard and get time to take care of them before the calvery comes, each of them taking on a pack individually, or eschew tactics alotogether and just march up and bash some heads in, taking your chances of catching one or another pack alone rather than deal with the risks of an Ambush or splitting up.

What will it be?

"...well, I certainly don't fancy attempting to fight both groups at the same time.  Don't really think we should split up, though..."

Hmmm...

"If we engage the patrolling group at the berry field opposite the one being guarded, we might be able to take them on without immediately alerting the other group. Clear out the Growlithe first, and the Arcanine will be at a numbers disadvantage.  I think going head on against one group and hoping for the best might be our best bet."

Reiner does have one change to make before engaging these Arcanine.  Namely, swapping Kingdra's SDF for the Divine Water, which also triggers Swift Swim!  That'll be far more useful in this instance.

Reiner has Kingdra and Yang ready for this assault on one of the groups, with Mew in the background just in case.
