Rapidash: (6) + 4 + 3 = 13
Raphael: (4) + 7 = 11
Spheal: (1)
Mudsdale: (1)


Much to Shiva's luck she soon found a chance for her to get into things without the danger to be overseen and trampled in the chaos - A free Rapidash not far from her, with saddle, banner and everything, still running despite it was lacking a rider. She'd guess that Hitmonlee messing with the whole side of the Eastern Suns has 'taken care' of that rider seconds ago, not wasting a second thought she took a heartfelt leap onto the Rapidash's back and got a firm hold of the reins, a gaze into his direction was all Raphael needed to understand: He took his position by his father's girlfriend despite his worry to get involved in such a not-peacefulL scenery, ready for do whatever she may ask him to do.

Their enemy in this duel was quickly found, how it was none partnered by an Electric Type took a medium-sized load off her mind. Though Shiva could feel that her Rapidash shied away from that Sphea , she gently but decidedly pulled on the reins a little to show her mount that she's there and won't allow them to be hurt too much. "Concentrate on my voice dear Rapidash, listen to me, have faith in me and let US be those standing as the winners in the end! Don't allow the seal to drench you in water right away, but let us escape from the eye of the battliefield on a Quick Attack if you aren't being targeted.
Raphael my dear, show that Spheal messing with our side's mounts your most adorable side before letting blades of slashed air rain down on them, crown your salve with a concentrated blast of your aura. We have to be quick if we wish to have a chance, so let us open this match! It's us against them... Please protect our fierly mount from attacks that use the earth as their source of energy and power."

Towards her enemy Shiva would call out among the cries of battles and hoofbeats: "En garde, soldier of the Western Plains! I, Shiva Amaranthine from the distant land will be your enemy. Let this be a good and fair duel, your bold Spheal against my noble Togekiss, we will not inflict lethal wounds before you do. I do not desire to shed blood. Instead, so tell me, milady: What is your name? " I have no idea whether she's notice that Shiva in her Ranger's cloak actually does not look like someone from the Eastern Suns or like someone who's very brutal/a soldier in the first place. Maybe?



-------------------------------------
Please don't tell me that I need to defeat Mudsdale as well to win this Encounter... This was supposed to be a 1vs1 match! Going for the mount of her enemy would also go against what I have planned to do in this Encounter.

If a Ground Type move targets my Rapidash, Raphael will intercept and offer as much cover as possible for him, due to his partial Flying Type he's immune to these moves.

If Raphael ends up suffering 3 lethal damage from something somehow, we'll use the Morshu Mushroom given by Valder to instant-cure these.

Oh yes, a theme: - It's fight or flight! Shiva vs Western Plain soldier: - Run, Rambi! Run! (DKC2 [SNES])


All of Raphael's moves target Spheal.

Accuracy Roll Charm 1: 4 Dext + 3*Fight  + 2 Allure - 4 Actions = 5d6
Effect: -2 Strength for Spheal by outplaying a cute fairylike attitude.
Secondary Effect: Such a move in a fierce battliefield?! Yes, to minimize damage.
Edit: If this Charm fails or anything does berave me of this Action No.1, attempt to get off a Charm as Action No.2 instead of Air Slash.

Accuracy Roll Air Slash 2: 4 Dext + 3*Fight + 4 Channel - 5 Actions = 6d6
Accuracy Roll Air Slash 3: 4 Dext + 3*Fight + 4 Channel - 6 Actions = 5d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 3 power of the move + 1 STAB = 7d6
Additional notes: Has, thanks to Serene Grace Ability, 5*CD to flinch.

Accuracy Roll Aura Sphere 4: 4 Dext + 3*Fight + 4 Channel - 7 Actions = 4d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 3 power of the move, no STAB = 6d6 but +1 autodamage due to SE.
Additional notes: The blast of Raphael's benelovent-archangel-aura will hit even if the Accu Roll fails.



Now for my Rapidash's orders, in Round 1 it's a Single Action:

If it suffers -2 Pain or enough pain to not being able to safely carry Shiva anymore, 1 Potion is used to invigorate the horsepower again.

If a Water Type move is targeted on it, we'll try to dodge the first one, means we'll do something Shiva actually never does in battle. However here it's worth doing!
4 Dext + 2 Fight + 0 Evasion = 6d6, empowered by 1 spent Will Point.

If suprisingly Rapidash isn't targeted or the attacks miss, we'll use a Quick Attack to get at the farest end of the battliefield in order to escape the center of the fight in the hope that my Western Plain enemy follows.
4 Dext + 2 Fight + 2 Brawl = 8d6, no Damage Roll.
