Ancestor Cave Unown Round 1

The two Manectric leap for each other at the exact same time. They meet head on in the center of the cave.

(5)(5)(3)(6) Hit five times!
(4)(4), (5)(3), (1)(5), (2)(6), (6)(1) Ditto takes 5 dmg and faints! He collapses into sand. This disturbs the real Manectric a little.

FLASH 1
(4)(2)(4)(1)(4)(6) (3)(1)
Tyrantrum and a big handful of Unown are blinded! The blinded Unown do not separate from their group at all. They don't even miss a beat. They do look odd with their entire bodies blacked out, eyes lidded! You can pick out these Unown from the crowd a little more easily. You see another A, and a C, for sure.

Ingrain 1
(2)(2)(2)(4)(5)
Trevenant planted his roots!

+2 Str for Ambipom!

(4) Tyrantrum takes 2 dmg 11/13hp
,
the (4) again, plus (6)(1)(5)(5) The three Unown take 4 dmg and faint. They only have 2 hit points. Terra is unaffected.


Shiva tosses a Pokeball. (2)(5) vs (2)(4) It's not caught, but the ball is not broken.

Tyrantrum thrashes in agony, blinded and unable to hit anything. It's a sort of gruesome Dragon Dance.

Dragon Dance 1
(5)(5)(4)(3)(6)

Bubble 1
(6)(5)(1)(4)(5)(5) (2) Critical hit.
CD: (2)
(5) Tyrantrum takes 1 dmg 10/13hp
,
(4)(3)(3)(6) Four more Unown faint. *rolls*
Unown T, G, C, and another A.

Nathan chucks a Pokeball at T. (5)(4) vs (3)(2)(5) Gotcha! Unown T was caught!


The haunting song of the Unown gyre quickens, and another portrait unscrambles and comes to life as a hale Pokemon!

HIDDEN POWER 1
(5)(4)(6)(4)(1)(6) (1)(2)(4)(1)
CD: (5) It's a Relicanth! The stone fish plops down into the dirt and kinda wriggles out a muddy pit for itself.
Init: (4) + 2 Dex = last.

The Unown, of course, have no reaction to their fishy friend's fate.

Shiva throws another Pokeball. (3)(5) vs (1)(3) Gotcha! Unown A was caught! You now have one A and one T. A G (statused) and a C (fainted) are available.

Nathan throws another Pokeball. (3)(3) vs (6)(2)(1) That Pokeball breaks.

Actually, instead of his Strike for Round 1, Terra Grapples a hapless paralyzed/fainted G Unown. It's unconscious and tiny, so why not? Unown A, T, and G are obtained, with a C fainted on the cave floor.

Quick Attack 2
(6)(5)(2)(3)(6)(1)
5 Str + 2 power -5 vit = 2d6-1

(5)(1)(5)(6)(4) Tyrantrum takes 5 dmg 3/13hp -2 pain.
CD: (3)(2)(1)(6)(5) -1 Def for Tyrantrum. Cracks appear in the rocky Pokemon.

Drain Punch 1
(5)(2)(4)(5)(6)(6) Trevenant gets in on the critical action. While Tyrantrum is blinded, Bulbasaur and Trevenant are just pushing him back and forth right into each other's attacks.
(2)(2)(1)(3)(5)(4) Tyrantrum takes 3 dmg and faints. He becomes a substantially bigger pile of sand. The mural restores itself.

Swift 2
(4)(1)(3)(5)(1)(6)
(6)(6)(6)(5)(4)(2) (1)(6)
*rolls*
Six Unown drop out of the stream, very unconscious. Terra picks up a C and pockets it, 'cause he's in the thick of the stream.
Here's where it gets weird, if you hadn't quite noticed the pattern already: All these Unown are either C (1), G (3), A (1), or T (1). In fact, peering into the stream, it's possible every single Unown in there could be A, G, C, or T. If there are others, they're a lot less frequent.

But Laurelin requires 5 unique letters.

Bubbles and Dazzling Gleams drop another two dozen Unown.
*roll 1* - Same thing!
*roll 2* - oh, no time to check up on that, Relicanth is attacking!

The stony fish rotates in the mud and takes aim at the nearest, biggest target.

Hydro Pump 2ish on Terra
(3)(2)(3)(2)(4)
3 Str + 5 power +1 STAB = 4d6
(6)(5)(2)(4) Terra takes 3 dmg. He's knocked back against the entrance of the cave and deluged in water, soaking his outermost possessions, his simple clothes, and his skin/hair. Manectric is instantly licking his face to make sure he's OK. Might have some mild bruises but he is OK.

HIDDEN POWER 2
(3)(2)(2)(6)(6)(4)(6)

This mural assembles into an Aerodactyl, which leaps from the wall and takes to the air. (3) + 4 Dex + 0 Survival = 7. It swoops on Grid, perhaps figuring him one of the giant delicious bugs from its own time. You find yourselves quavering in your boots, your Willingness to take risks quashed (Will points halved for duration of battle only).

Sky Drop 2 (sorta)
Grid flinches as Aerodactyl brings him out of the cave and into the air beyond!

Ray smacks the dragonfossil as it flees.

ROCK SMASH 3
(2)(3)(1)(1)(1)(4)

But it's already too late.

Trevenant tries for himself, with his longer limbs.

Horn Leech 3
(2)(1)(6)(3)(3)
(5)(3)(2)(4) Aerodactyl takes 2 dmg 7/9hp -1 pain.

Swift 3
(6)(5)(1)(2)(1)
(6)(3)(2)(1)(2)(6) Aerodactyl takes 1 dmg 6/9hp -1 pain

Dazzling Gleam 3
(5)(5)(1)(1)(6)
(6)(4)(2) Aerodactyl takes 2 dmg 4/9hp -2 pain.

Bubbles 3
(5)(4)(1)(2)(4)
(5)(6)(1) Aerodactyl takes 4 dmg and faints. Since it didn't have time to aim Grid properly, the spider takes no damage, saving himself with a web despite his exhaustion. Plus there's a bunch of sand falling around him.

Mikey looks a little disappointed he didn't get to Sky Uppercut that big stone birdie.

Hydro Pump 3ish on Ray.
(6)(1)(4)(2)
(5)(4)(3)(6)(4)(1) Ray takes 4 dmg 2/6hp -2 pain.

Alert rolls! *roll, roll, roll, roll*.

Wow, really good rolls actually.

Nathan spots a purple TM wedged into the Aero mural. Heart spots a green TM up on the ceiling in a small stalactite. And finally, Shiva spots a glimpse of a blue Unown in the stream, trailing sparkling scales behind it. It's hard to see despite its luster, due to its size and the number of its friends. It's near the mouth of the cave, and she sees it because she's watching Tanukizoon corral the Eevee like a sheepdog.

At this point, seeing how quickly you dispensed their three allies, the conscious Unown have begun flying directly INTO the ceiling of the cave, where each who reaches it disappears in a little spark of light. They're disappearing back into their own dimension just as fast as they can fly. They'll all be gone by the end of next Round.

The summoned Relicanth is still unharmed, and the Unown will have time to use Hidden Power a couple more times before they have all vanished.

That was a wild round. When Terra and Ray was attacked by that damn stone fish, Heart was get off guard...then he face shifted to a more anger one. Maybe Terra/@Lord Windos, Nathan/@Dragonstrike and Shiva/@PhantomUnderYourDesk could see or not, but Heart eyes shifted to another color. His normal brown eyes shifted to a more dark purple one. He yell to Relincanth. "HEY! You old, fat and ungly root piece of trash! Why dont you face someone with some dignity! I gonna make a sushi when I finish with you! Trevenant! Prepare yourself to finish off that damn fish! Horn Leech 4x times against him! Ambipom! Prepare yourself to use Fury Swipes 5x! But not against Relicanth! That Unow is still somewere! He gonna get out from the other dimension and that will be your chance to go with everything against that Unow!" Heart also prepare three pokeballs to capture that last Unow. Heart also prepare himself to launch foward to get the Green TM in the stalactite. More TM's is always a good thing!
