Emboar and Dewott Round 1

(...)

Reversal 3
(6)(4)(3)(5)
(4)(6)(2)(6)(4)(1) (3)(1) Emboar faints.

Dewott tugs on Emboar's 600 pound sleeping body, but cannot budge it. He considers a Swords Dance, but that won't be enough.

So yeah, Dewott just takes off running! He's much faster than Terra so he probably gets away - you can request a roll if you want but he'll have the advantage. Either way, these Pokemon are defeated.

Back on the farm, you can see the more docile Pokemon livestock laughing at Emboar's defeat.

6XP for Angie, 5Xp for Anubi! 7 for Terra.

Dunsparce gains 1 point of Happiness! Battling is more fun than expected. It's mostly digging!!!
Anubi gives Dunsparce and Terra a thumbs up.

Terra allows the water dog creature escape unimpeded, glaring at it Intimidatingly with arms crossed as it done so! He wasn't the type to 'finish the job' against or pursue a former weakened aggressors unless it was a Pokemon he wanted to catch/did him great harm, so he didn't mind Dewott turning tail and fleeing. Besides, it'll teach the critter better to go messing in others business if its conscious for that lesson to sink in!

Once they had gotten far enough away that it doubling back for another Round of attacks was extremely unlikely, the rugged wanderer relaxed his guard and went over to check over the wounds of his partners. 

 Anubi seemed pretty banged up, with sopping slash marks and minor burns  marring his pristine form, but that hardly seemed to phaze him as he gave thumbs up to everyone and struck an confident pose, fiercely grinning at the fallen Fiery bovine. It may have been hug compare to him, but that just made it all the most satisfy to serve them up like the big ham they were! 

Angie, meanwhile, looked mostly fine after her papa promptly treated the worst of her injuries with a Potion from, and in fact  appeared just as chipper with the results of the battle as the aural jackal! Her first  fight against two big, tough Pokemon (one of them a FIGHTING type no less, oh my!) and she ended up pulling through to the end! Yaaay, *Ssssszzzzz!*

Seeing both his Fighting doggies and chubby snake were mostly happy and okay brought great relief to him, causing him to smile as he crouched down to pat their heads.

"Good job. Took down big piggie and sent the....dog running with little trouble, and fought very well. Well done. *Looks at doggie* Anubi, I am happy you followed my orders. When we work together, we grow stronger. You know this now, so remember it. Okay? *Now looks at snake* Very proud of you, Angie. Endured piggie's Hammer Arm and Confusion, and hit back just as hard. And you did it all in your first battle too. *Smiles even more proudly* Excellent. You are a baby, but you are already so strong. Will not be easy to.....improve on that, but I will do it. We will do it. Promise."

He returned them both to their Pokeballs soon enough once he was finished praising/inspecting them (First letting them respond, of course), then goes over to the Emboar, and with grunt and great big heave ho hoists them straight up! Terra is STRONK, so it was easy peasy (at least compare to lifting Basteele) ! After that, he began his march back towards the farm when big piggie came from, but not before catching sight of the group as they successfully stop Rhyhorn* and saved the day. This caused him to let out a large *SIGH* of relief, before he gave them all a proud smile + nod of his head (Its unlikely they would see this, but still, the gesture counts!), and continued on his given objective. Looks like his confidence and faith in his friend paid off, so his spirit can rest MUCH easier, now and in later events like this one!

The farmer sees Terra singlehandedly hauling the giant boar. His eyes go wide, and he calls into the house. "Ethel! Get out here!"

A great big woman almost the size of Terra arrives at the door. She looks to be the farmer's daughter. They run over to Terra, and together the two of them (mostly Ethel) manhandle the pig into a pile of damp straw. 

"Ethel, get this man a bottle of your best Lemonade, and as many jars of jam as you have left. That's by way of apology, sir, since I'm presumablin' Emboar burnt down his fence again and you found him either causin' trouble or experiencin' the reapercussin's of his actions. Since he evolved he can destroy even the toughest stuff. Am I about right?"

Terra appeared greatly impressed with Ethel when she came out and took the now named Emboar, nodding approvingly at her great stature and Strength as she used both to full effect. He isn't interested in the farmer's daughter THAT way (For various reasons, chief among them the fact he's a time traveler, which puts a new spin on 'long distance relationships'), but for a guy like him he can't help but appreciate and admire such qualities normally rare in women of his time....

When the father came over and asked for the rub down on what happened with Emboar, the mountain of a man thought it over for a moment, before nodding his head.

"Yes. Emboar burnt fence up. Him and a.....blue walking dog Pokemon came running through. Both wanted to fight a giant Ground Pokemon that dug up under one of those......large carts."

He points over towards the former site of the Rock Beast's rampage, now bereft of the Pokemon in question but still quite torn to hell, but with everyone/thing over their more or less fine.

"Stopped them from.......getting involved, and making things worse. Fainted Emboar, blue dog ran back to farm. *Shrugs* Was not too hard or bad. Decided to bring him back to your farm, since he came from here. That is all *Looks thoughtful, before adding:* Might want to dig a moat in front of fence. Maybe that will keep Emboar from escaping, or slow him down. Keep Wild Pokemon from getting in too, so has double purpose."

Terra will happily accept the Lemonade and as many jars of jam from Ethel, as while he doesn't believe the apology is necessary, he's NEVER one to turn down food Items or generosity of any kind, unless in specific circumstances. If the Farmer and/or Ethel have anything else to say to him, he'll stick around and listen, but otherwise he'll wish them a good day and farewell be making his way back to the group and Dr. M's Stall. He doesn't have much to say to them now, but DOES give everyone another smile and firm pat on the shoulder for their flawless heroism.

(Waiting on the Confirmation of whether or not Ramses Item can be Held + Used or not before I start making sales/purchases!)

"Oh, is everyone doin' alright there? Tell 'em they can stop by the ol' farmhouse if they need to recuperate. My blue dog is named Dewott - he's supposed to be the Dissilpin Pokemon and keep Emboar in line, but it doesn't really work. Hey, maybe a moat would help Dewott dissilpin Emboar. I'll be sure to try it out."
