Swoltortle

(...)

Bastiodon gains 6XP and 1 Loyalty, since the strategy worked. Even though for Bastiodon, taking down Wartortle "fast" means 3 rounds.

(Which means 3 XP for Terra! Nice!)

Terra was flinching alongside his prehistoric powerhouse as the Swoltortle drenched and battered them down with its fluffy white tail, as those had to hurt, but it didn't prevent him from rushing over to patch them up at the opportune moment. No way was he going to let his partners down, even if it means risking life and limb!

He was, however, impressed that Bastiodon managed to avoid hurting himself with Head Smash while bashing the brawling turtle into the dirt, and in relatively short amount of time/Actions to booth (if one discounts the Flinching, that is)! Add in the fact they were dealing with a bad Type matchup on top of everything else, and Overall his trampling tricera did an great job defeating his aquatic foe. Guess great Defense can overcome stiff opposition, if you put enough effort into it!

Once everything settled down, the mountain of the man wandered over to Bastiodon, and rests on their head plate, smiling down on them with pride and affection.

"Well done, my friend. Took worst from......tough turtle, and gave back twice as much. Very good. Feel.....closer to you now, too. You feel same? Hm....*Nods* yes, we do. Believe its time to......give you name. It will be.....Edmundi. Means 'Prosperity Protector' . Fitting for you....I think. *Looks at them* Do you like it?"

After Edmundi/Bastiodon gives his input of his new name, Terra decides to summon his Forrestress, and do the following, if possible, as he has a few ideas....:

- Seed the area in front of his fishing spot with Stealth Rocks, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes, so that when he catches something, he can reel/drag it into the Hazards.
- With thick gloves wrapped in plastic he carries around for this occasion, Terra will pick up a Toxic Spike and poke Swolturtle with it in order to Poison/Toxic (If that is Rolled for) it. If it works, it works, and makes them easier to catch!
- 3 Pokeballs will be thrown at Swolturtle to catch it, then 1 Great Ball if those two fail. If turtle still proves resistant to capture, then Terra will cure its Poisoning with Antidote, Heal any Lethal Damage with an appropriate amt of Energy Powder, and then throw it back into the drink, as it proved its determination enough to keep its freedom. If captured, straight to the PC it goes!
- Terra will be fishing again with Better Quality Bait, this time choosing Anubi to be his battle partner, but not before 12 XP is spent to increase Terra's Nature to 3! Let's see what's pulled out of the drink next time!
