Spoiler

Sounds like a plan! And that's how you politely handle interparty conflict, good job!

Here's some initiatives:

Ray: (6) + 9 = 15
Electabuzz: (6) + 5 Dex + 3 survival = 13
Gremlin: (5) + 6* Dex + 3 survival = 14
Gargryph: (5) + 7 = 12
Viktor: (4) + 7 = 11
Gallade: (1) + 9 = 10
Drifloon: (3) + 6 = 9 - until the gremlin is caught
Shuppet: (2) +6 = 8
Hilda: (2) +6 = 8 - after the gremlin is caught.


I'm going to give Spira a round before the Electabuzz and main party arrive, since Noire is using Ominous Wind to provide cover (and has been secretly aware of them for a while). Also, Nathan and Heart will cause the pack to alter course a bit.

There's not enough time for a true Ambush, but I'll allow charging of moves. No time to pause and do a proper buff move though.

Mika, pay attention to how I'm calculating your dice, 'cause I'll be asking you to do that in the future once you're comfortable with it.

Electabuzz Pack Round 1

Cross Poison 1
4 Dex + 3 Fight + 4 brawl -3 actions = 8d6
(4)(1)(1)(3)(2)(2) (5)(2) The gremlin sinks both teeth and claws into Drifloon's rubbery hide. He scarcely penetrates into what passes for a bloodstream in the Drifloon.
4 Str + 3 power +1 STAB -5 vitality = 3d6 dmg, -1 not very effective
(5)(4)(5) Drifloon takes 2 dmg 6/8hp -1 pain
CD: (2)
Poison Touch: (2)(6)
Drifloon became poisoned! Drifloon ate its Lum Berry and became unpoisoned and Unburdened! + 2 Dex

Amnesia 1
4 Dex (always replaces Insight in my game) + 2 Survival +2 Alert +2 Unburden -5 actions = 5d6
(6)(6)(1)(2)(3)
+2 Defense for Luna/Drifloon

Ominous Wind
4 Dex +5 Fight +2 Canalize = 11 dice
(3)(3)(2)(4)(1)(1) (3)(1)(6)(6)(2) A pretty minimal success, so Noire just succeeds in buying you this free turn alone with the chupacabra.
CD: (3)

Spira orders more attacks on the unknown gremlin, nullifying the gremlin's instinct for Pursuit. It just swipes at the balloon Pokemon as it slowly drifts closer.

Cross Poison 2
(4)(4)(2)(2)(4)(5) Critical hit!
(1)(2)(4) No damage at all from that critical hit. Drifloon is flying so high that Chupacho crits only hot exhaust air, which forms an eerie afterimage of the Pokemon.
CD: (4)
Poison Touch: (5)(4)

Ominous Wind 2
11 dice, -6th action, -1 pain, +2 Unburden dex = 6d6
(6)(5)(6)(5)(4)(2) The wind bowls the little gremlin over and makes him withdraw his fangs.
3 Str + 2 power +1 STAB bonus -2 Vitality +2 crit = 6d6 dmg
(3)(4)(1)(3)(3)(4) Chupacho takes 2 dmg 3/5hp -1 pain
CD: (1)

Chupacho starts leaping higher and higher to reach Drifloon.
Agility 3
(2)(3)(4)(2)
+2 Dex for Chupacho

Gust 3
6* Dex + 5 Fight +2 canalize -7 actions -1 pain = 5d6
(6)(6)(5)(6)(3)
3 Str + 2 power -2 vit = 3d6
(4)(4)(1) Chupacho takes 2 dmg 1/5hp -3 pain.

The strange trainer throws one of the pale, sepia-tone Pokeballs.

Pokeball seal strength: (5)(1)
Will: 6, -3 pain: (4)(1)(1)

Gotcha! Chupacho was caught!
1 Happiness, 0 Loyalty, 3 disobedience
Ability: Poison Touch
Moves: Leech Life, Pursuit, Feint, Poison Fang, Agility, Knock Off, Cross Poison

Wow, that Drifloon was moving as fast as Nathan and his pokemon are now!  Gotta love Unburden, right?  (if Ominous Wind's effect triggered, Mika, then Drifloon would have +3 Dex because Abilities are the only stat boost that stack with others)

Gallade slides to a stop between the Electabuzz pack and the Ghost type trainer, his blades extended.  He's going to give these Electabuzz what for!  Instead of immediately using his blades, though, he points at a healthy looking Electabuzz and uses...

Confusion x4
Acc: 6* Dex + 3 Fight + 3 Canalize - 4/5/6/7 Actions = 8/7/6/5 D6
Dmg: 2 Power + 4 Str + STAB + Clamperl Pearl = 8 D6
Effect: Confusion (1)



Ray, meanwhile, does what he does best.  Lighting up the entire battlefield with his mere presence!

FLASH 1
Acc: 6* + 3 + 3 - 4 Actions = 8 D6
Effect: -3 Acc and temporary blindness for up to 5 Electabuzz!  Bzzzzt!

Power Gem 2-4
Acc: 12 - 5/6/7 = 7/6/5/4 D6
Dmg: 3 + 4 + STAB = 8 D6




Target Priority: After Ray uses FLASH, hit the non-blinded Electabuzz first (if any).

(I figured he was just for a mount, which would mean he can just move with your trainer actions. Using melee moves or certain other moves while mounted might be hard. Canalize moves should be fine. Just use common sense when choosing moves while mounted!)

When Heart and Nathan aproach the battlefield, he waits for Nathan use Ray to Blind those Electabuzz, to Heart dismount Gargryph and send his orders to him and Viktor who is in another dimension waiting to use the Phantom Force! "Gargryph! Time to set some new level of power! Raise your defences with Cosmic Power and after that Substitute! Then shoot your foes with a barrage of 2x Ancient Powers! Show them who is the boss! Viktor! When you cause damage to those foes with your Phantom Force, use Ingrain and bring them the pain with Horn Leech! 2x!"

Cosmic Power: Dex (4) + Fight (4) + Canalize (3) - Actions (4) = 7D6
Effect: Increase user defence

Substitute: Dex (4) + Survival (3) + Stealth (3) - Action (5) = 5D6
Effect: User receive 2 Damage and create a decoy.

Ancient Power Accuracy: Dex (4) + Fight (4) + Canalize (3) - Actions (6/7) = 4D6/3D6
Damage: Power (2) + STR (3) + STAB (1) = 6D6
Effect: 1D6 to increase all stats.

Phantom Force (Attack) Accuracy: Dex (4) + Fight (4) + Brawl (3) - Actions (4) = 7D6
Damage: Power (3) + STR (3) + STAB (1) = 7D6
Effect: Charge Move. Can break any shield

Ingrain Accuracy: Dex (4) + Survival (3) + Nature (2) - Actions (5) = 4D6
Effect: Heal the user in every end of the round. With the Leftovers equipped with Viktor, its gonna be 2!

Horn Leech Accuracy: Dex (4) + Fight (4) + Brawl (3) - Actions (6/7) = 5D6/4D6
Damage: Power (3) + STR (3) + STAB (1) = 7D6
Effect: Half of the damage become heal. If by chance Phantom Force act as a extra action, I will add another Horn Leech attack.
