[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

It's indeed an Eevee, designed to have a little touch of Jolteon and Flareon about it, and all done in that minimalist Mamo style. The oddest thing about it is the smoothness of its facial features, and its tail is almost like a single Espeon tail. Shiva thinks this drawing is going for the impression of an Eevee mid-mutation/evolution, perhaps demonstrating its unstable genetic code.

With much curiosity Shiva musters what the puzzle depicts after she skillfully completed it, frowns over that weird Eevee while instantly liking it. It looks a little like someone has exposed an exemplar of the elusive fox to various sources of evolution, huh... She highly wonders whether such a 'mid-mutation/mid-evolution' Eevee is obtainable or breedable if she'd put some effort into it.

For now though, she draws her star-patterned journal to make some notes about this curious mural, takes some photos of it even to later add a drawing of this feline. Delphox lights the wall properly to enable her catching as many features of the mural as possible on these photos.

Terra orders Paralysis and Spore on an Unown at random. Trevenant uses Confuse Ray. It can hardly miss, and all the attacks land, (3) one on each of three different Unown, who are left behind floating in midair. *rolls* An A, a G, and another A. The stream of Unown, however, keeps traveling, swarming up to the ceiling and hovering there angrily, glowing with psychic power!

A blast of core celestial power flows between the Unown as they whirl in two whirlwinds, orbiting each other. It splashes not against Terra, or Heart, or their Pokemon, but against one of the mixed up murals on the wall. It glows pink, and another Ditto coalesces from it. Right away, it takes the shape of Manectric!

Another demonstration of power, and a stony Tyrantrum leans through yet another mural and roars a roar to shake the cavern! The Meowth vanish into a tiny crack. The Umbreon and Eevee in the cavemouth run off, carrying their berry and fluff.

The erratic fae enthusiast was just busy packing her stuff together and then intended to loosely check on Umbreon and his young Eevee, when that LOUD ROAR disturbed her right in the middle of it and made her cringe heavily in shock, dropping her bagpack in the process. Delphox instantly let his burning basswood stick flare up and hissed sharply, baring his teeth at the ancient threats the small Unknown have, from the look of it, sent to the group as a measure of defense.

What pained and startled Shiva much more than the Manetric and Tyrantrum though was the sight of Eevee and Umbreon running away, taking the Nanab Berry and fluff she has given them with them in the process! Holding her heand into their direction, she mildly called after them "U-Umbreon, Eevee, no....! Don't leave me, please...." before plucking Tanuki from the pocket of her Cloak: "Okay dear one, LISTEN: Please tail after these two, use your sense of smell to find them. Once you've done, hand them this small bell to calm them further, let them know that I'm on my way to find them as well. Ditto as the young one's mother is with me, and I'll do EVERYTHING I CAN to bring them together again.... I... only need to help defeating the threats that scared them off, catch two of these Unknown and then I'll get going. Be quick, be careful... Good luck."

With that said she lightly places Tanukizoon on the cave floor again (now with the Soothe Bell in her fur) and watches as the flufffurball eagerly sniffed the ground before darting off with suprising speed.

Accuracy Roll Odor Sleuth: 4 Dext + 3 Survival + 0 Alert = 7d6
Effect: Picks up Eevees and Umbreon's scent to pursue them.
Intention: Finding them (if needed with the help of Extreme Speed), greeting them, handing the pair my Soothe Bell to calm them and protecting them from harm until Shiva has found them back again.



As soon as her special Ziggy is out of ear- and eyesight, Shiva turns around and steps beside Terra and Heart with her head hanging, silent RAGE boiling up from deep within her again. That roar has startled her, but the moment she spotted that it came from the ancient dragon Tyrantrum represented - she smiled viciously. Mischievously. DANGEROUSLY maybe even... Seems completely unfazed by the massive rocky creature as she STARES at it with a gaze of ice beams. "That dragon scared my new Eevee and Umbreon away....", she quietly shared towards them, before...

"...IT WILL PAY. " With a dramatic gesture a Pokeball is tossed, out from it leaps a familar blue fae rabbit to land beside Delphox with ease and graze: Oooohhh, it seems like it's time again to slay some dragons, this time a weird ancient exemplar even! Now that promises to be fun, will it?~


----------------
Mechanics:
Send out Tanukizoon to tail after Umbreon and Eevee to enable Shiva finding them later before sending out Azumarill and Delphox to help defeating DittoManetric and Tyrantrum. If it's not possible for me to hit two Unknown as well with moves that hit all foes here, Delphox will be recalled and Raphael takes his place, but actually I'm interested in keeping the archangel unhurt as he'll help me finding the escaped foxes later.

Battle start! Orders will come after the Init Order is clear.
