[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

- "Reiner is really the only other name most other people call me.  Mr. Mime just calls me Mr. Arendse to show some respect since it's a part of his job.  If someone doesn't like me, they might call me something else that's rather mean, but hopefully we won't run in to anyone like that soon.  Everyone has a name of some kind, though, just so you know.  Grandmommy's name is Taylor, for instance.  Weavile's is just Weavile, though, since he doesn't really care for nicknames."
- When Cathy hands Reiner the Lemonade and Hope starts shivering, Reiner's definitely wondering what the heck Taylor finds so funny.  Hope asking for the cold bottle of Lemonade to be taken away does get a prompt response, though, as he does just that.  Reiner then kneels down by Poe.  "Far as I can tell, it seems the doc's orders are for you to drink this Lemonade.  Makes sense to me, to be honest, since you're tuckered out and all."
============

Reiner vs Taylor Round 1

As Taylor talks, Reiner can tell what she's planning, even though he's also still paying attention to what Taylor is saying.  That mischievous glint in her eye, that eagerness to get started...

It's exactly why Reiner has his hands behind his back, and Kingdra's pokeball clasped in them.

And the exact same moment that Taylor throws out Lucy's pokeball with surprising (but not entirely unexpected) speed to try and catch Reiner off guard, he's thrown Kingdra's pokeball onto the field as well.

Taylor hadn't been counting on Reiner to be able to both pay attention to what she's saying and what she's doing.  And that's why he chuckles as soon as Kingdra appears across from Lucy, trumpeting a battle cry!  Yes!  This is exactly what she'd been waiting for!  If there's any one pokemon of Taylor's she wants to show off to tonight, it's Lucy!

"Not the first time I've had to react in a split second when my opponent decides to stop yammering and start attackin' this week.  Hehe.  Good try, though.  Alright Kingdra, let's set up and show 'em your new tricks!"

Another trumpet from Kingdra!  Let the battle begin!  And what a battle it looks like it's going to be when we have initiatives like that!

A Good ol' Fashioned and Fun Duel: Field of Hopes and Dreams Symphonic Remix by Symphonic Brush

Taylor had seen a bit of it earlier, but now it's clear in full that Kingdra's Ability is NOT Sniper!  As the Divine Water that's around Kingdra's neck glows with a subtle light, her movements become more fluid, even though the weather isn't favorable for it!

Swift Swim is active, bumping Kingdra's initiative to 15*!  We have an initiative tie, and Kingdra's speed would be doubled in the games, so I guess that means she's now going first?  If not, she will be soon enough!

Kingdra's intent on putting on a good performance as she gracefully slides across the battlefield, ready to show off the power and might she's acquired over the last 4 years!

Dragon Dance 1
Acc: 6* + 5 + 0 - 5 Actions = 6 D6
Eff: +1 Str and Dex
Note: Bumps her initiative up to 16*!

Her Strength so great, so focused, that not even Reiner fully knew what move she was about to use...as she rushes forward, her Draconic power threatens to bowl over everything in her path...

Dragon Rush EX 2 and 3
Acc: 7* + 5 + 2 - 6/7 = 8/7
Dmg: 5 Power + 5* Str + STAB + SE - 5? Defense (as Taylor had 10 HP) = 6? D6 + 1 Damage
Eff: Flinch (2) and Knockdown (2)

And for the finale of her performance, she'll show everyone just how strong her bond with Reiner truly is (though Reiner makes sure to give Poe sufficient warning about the impending booooooom this time if he happens to still be out, as Reiner knew Kingdra was going to want to use DM ASAP)...the move that Reiner worked so hard to teach her no matter what obstacles there were...the brilliant, orange light of the explosion the final proof of how strong and close they are...

Draco Meteor 4 and 5 (non-lethal of course)
Acc: 7* + 5 + 3 - 1 - 8/9 = 6/5
Dmg: 6 Power + 5*/3* Str + STAB - 5? = 7/5? D6 + 1 Damage
Eff: -2 Str for Kingdra

Even though it will give her a handicap for the remainder of the battle, for once, Kingdra's not wholly focused on winning the battle.  She wants to show Lucy and Taylor just how far she's come in the last 4 years, and that's all.  And what better way to do it than by showing them her most powerful, rare attacks which Clair's Kingdra and potentially even Jeff don't know yet?

[And as a fun fact, much like Clair's Kingdra, Lance's Kingdra doesn't know Draco Meteor in the games either.  Not that his Kingdra seems to need it, as he only ever uses Kingdra against the strongest of challengers in the games, those who have already proven themselves to be Champions.  The only times that's happened is when Red rematches the Elite 4 in FR/LG and when Lance visits the PWT.  Yup, not even Ethan faces that Kingdra when he rematches the Elite 4 in HG/SS, though Lance does have a Garchomp and an Altaria in that battle that he doesn't use at any other time.  Lance also uses a Seadra and a Charizard instead of his original 2 Dragonair in Let's Go, but that can be considered a weird exception to the series since Let's Go is definitely an alternate universe situation.]

And if her last hurrah ends the performance early...well, then she'll just have to put on an even better show for the next combatant since she's still going to be on the battlefield, won't she?

Focus Energy (if Kingdra has actions leftover)
Acc: 7* + 5 + 3 = 15 base
Eff: 1 less success to crit!

- Oh! Okay! You Are Reiner, But You Are Daddy Too! My Daddy! And Grandmommy is Taylor, and Mommy is Lucy! Want Meet Other Family To, Learn Names!

- The turbulent type let out a grateful *Chirp!* as the cold Lemonade was removed, and Little Bro had no problem guzzling down the sweet and tart beverage with a gusto (With help, since he didn't have any hands to hold the bottle). Soon after, he's back to his 'spirtely' self, clambering back to his feet and pouncing on your leg to give it a hug, letting out a thankful "Eevee!" as she did so. Aw.....so cute! 

=====

Taylor smiles and shrugs with 'good' nature, fairly nonchalant about her trickery.

"Had nothing to lose, and I did warn ya how I battle, so all's fair in love and war, right partner? Lucy, time to amp it up and leave our friend in shock and awe!

Reiner Vs Taylor Round 1!

Dragon Dance
(4)(1)(6)(2)(3)(6)
Kingdra STR and DEX increases by 1! Combined with Swiftswim, Kingdra shoots to the top of the Initiative

Again, Taylor raises an eyebrow at your triumphant dragoness' unexpected fleetness, and Lucy was surprised that for once somebody actually out speed her, but in the end she doesn't let it deter her girl from planning how she was going to impress them!

Nasty Plot
Accuracy: DEX (6) + Fight (5) + Intimidate (0) - 5 Actions = 6D6 Dice
(2)(2)(6)(5)(1)(3)
Lucy's STR increased by 2!

Without giving her friend a moment's respite, the dragon queen of the sea charges straight at her, leaving Dragon fire trialing in her wake! Obviously startled, Lucy tries to dodge out of the way!

Dragon Rush EX 1!
(3)(2)(5)(3)(2)(5)(5)(4) 4 Successes
Lucy's Evasion: DEX + Fight + Evasion (5) - 6 Actions = 10D6 Dice
(3)(2)(6)(5)(4)(1)(2)(1)(1)(4) 3 Successes .....and she ends up stumbling, and subsequently was plowed straight into the ground! Hit!
Damage: 9D6 + 1 Damage
(2)(1)(3)(1)(1)(4)(1)(3)(5) Lucy miraculously only takes 1 Damage! 9/10 HP!
Flinch: (2)(3) Nope Knockdown: (4)(6) Lucy's down! - 1 Accuracy!

".....What sort of Dragon Rush is that, Reiner? I've seen my share of them, but.....nothing like that. And last time I check, Kingdra can't learn the Move in the first place either, so call me doubly curious...."

Kingdra pivots in places and blazes forward again, hoping to capitalize on her friend's fall to REALLY show her up! For their part, they let out a undignified *Squawk!* and tried to roll out of the way!

Dragon Rush EX 2!
(3)(1)(1)(4)(2)(2)(1)  ...
Lucy's Evasion 2
(5)(3)(3)(1)(5)(4)(3)(1) ...And Lucy manages to escape being trampled yet again, though that was help due to Kingdra ending up 'tripping' and face planting (No Damage, thankfully). How embarrassing.

Pulling herself off the ground and huffing with frustration (Bah.....what a foolish mistake....she'll have to practice that Move more latter), she decided to channel it the absolute best way she could: VENTING IT CONSTRUCTIVELY. Which, in this case, involved drawing forth her pure Draconic power from the depths of her being and firing it out her snout like a living howitzer! *Boooooom*

Lucy, figuring out that her fellow dragoness was not going to be stopping her assault anytime soon, stood her ground bravely against the Ultimate Dragon type Move! She was done with dodging, and is going to start fighting back now. The thief extraordinaire , on the hand, was not taking it nearly as cooly, biting back a startled curse of "What the -"(Since Hope was watching from somewhere; on a similar note, Poe was recalled earlier to avoid be terrified half to death) as she watched the glowing orange projectile barreling towards her girl....

DRACO METEOR 1
(1)(2)(1)(3)(6)(4) .....aaaaand it barely connects!
(2)(3)(5)(6)(2)(4)(5)(6)(5)(6) Lucy takes 8 Damage; 1/10 HP, - 3 Pain!
Kingdra's STR decreases by 2, for a net overall decrease of STR by 1!

The Stormbringer was nearly blown up and swept into unconsciousness by the nearly almighty power of her friend searing into her, but she gripped onto the area with her razor sharp talons and weathered it valiantly! She then fixed them a with a cocky and defiant grin, before she threw herself into the air and ROARED.

(4)(5)(6)(3)(4)(4)(5)(5).....and the storm answered. The nimbi rumbled wrathfully and terribly over Kingdra, before......she was drowned in a deluge of broiling plasma so bright, all had to shield and advert their gaze, least they be blinded.

CRITICAL THUNDER
DAMAGE: STR (3 +*3 [Surprise!]+ 2 [Nasty Plot) + 5 + STAB + Magnet + Crit + Thunderstorm (2) - Vitality (5) = 13D6 Damage
(1)(4)(1)(4)(3)(4)(6)(6)(4)(5)(3)(2)(4) Kingdra takes 7 Damage; 4/11 HP, - 2 Pain!
Paralysis: (6)(6)(2) *BRRRZZZZT!* Kingdra's Paralyzed! - 2 DEX! Lucy goes first now!

For a moment, the whole Training Room blacked out, as the sheer amount of pure and unfettered Electrical Power blew all the lights out and triggered the circuit breakers. Soon, however, the emergency lighting and backup generators kicked in, returning power to the room and bathing it in a dim, orange glow. Glass rained from the ceiling for a few seconds, and smoke emanated from the ruined fixtures and feed straight into the storm clouds, darkening them even further. 

When you regained your senses, you saw Lucy panting and hunkered slightly lowered to the floor, while Taylor was standing tall and now was wearing what appeared to be a thick pair of wielding glasses, which she subsequently took off casually like it was no big deal. And Kingdra......she just looked scorched all over, her skin looking burnt and charred all over with static sparking off it, her inherent Draconic Resistance to Electricity no match for the sheer power she was flooded with. Yikes.

"*Smirks* I see your Kingdra's Draco Meteor, and raise you Lucy's Thunder! Caught me off guard twice with your girl's Moves, but I beat your bottom Poke my girl gave you a shock, eh? 'Nuff chattering from me, though! Lucy, stand up straight and give your friends a encore! "

Hearing her mother loud and clear, the crackling crow pulled herself up and let out another bellowing ROAR that immediately put everyone on edge....

(4)(1)(3)(5)(2)(3)(6) .....and once more Kingdra was struck down with lightning, though this time the volume of it was greatly reduced. Still enough to be near blinding though, so no looking directly at it!

THUNDER 2
(2)(4)(5)(5)(4)(1)(4)(6)(4)(2)(2) Kingdra is consumed by the surge of Electricity and thoroughly fried to a living crisp, a process which she regretfully couldn't remain conscious through as she collapsed, her body stiffen and rigid from said electromagnetic force. 

Power nor lights went out this time, but they did flicker a bit. Looks like the A.V.'s compensating overtime for Lucy's ruinous shenanigans. 

The scent of seafood wafted through the air for a short bit before you recalled the zapped sea drake, your old partner giving you an especially cheeky and smug grin after she took off her wielding glasses again. 

Meanwhile, Lucy raised her head and crowed jubilantly over not only her near victory, but from the gratifying and exuberant feeling of Fighting at her full unchecked power against a worthy challenger. Man, she hadn't got to cut loose like that in years, and it felt great. The fact she beat her friend and reasserted her title as 'Best Dragon' between them just made it all the sweeter to her, *Caw*!

"And the winner is.........Luuuuuucy! Another victory over your girl, just like old times. How nostalgic, heh heh heh! *Sigh in satisfaction, then gives you a more respectful smile* Still, Kingdra gave my girl a dang good thrashing, and it was such a close match that I didn't think she'd make it for a bit, so kudos to your too partner. Our girls had a ton of fun too from what I can tell too, so......no hard feelings? *Shrugs* 'Sides, my girl's on her last legs, so it shouldn't be hard for another one of yours to finish the job they started. *Chuckles* Doesn't mean we're to throw in the towel now, though! We're in this until the bitter end! Right, my girl?"

*Caw!* Rumble Rumble.

"Heh Heh, hear ya loud and clear!"

Kingdra's down (Unless I messed something up again), so send out your next Pokemon!
