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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Reiner rolls his eyes, but there's still a smile on his face.  Yup, as expected, Taylor's quick to get super energized whenever her pokemon manage to triumph over a tough opponent (you can mark that down as a quirk that Reiner finds amusing about Taylor). 

 "Hehehehe.  Just like old times indeed.  Well, not quite, given that Kingdra has a whole host of new tricks, but it's good to know some things haven't changed.  Shame Jeff isn't gonna get to show off to Kingdra in this battle, though.  Not sure if I should just chalk that loss up to bad luck or her unfamiliarity with all the new strategies she was trying to use, to be honest.  Ah well.  Far as I can tell, she's not super mad about it, so...phew.  Kinda strange, though...usually, she'd be infuriated by getting humiliated like that...not that I think she would have taken it out on anyone in this instance since it was Lucy who beat her, but...hmmm..."


Reiner looks thoughtful for a sec.  Then remembers that Taylor asked about that strange Dragon Rush.

"...oh, right, that Dragon Rush...er...actually, I coulda sworn that Kingdra didn't know that move.  That's the first time I've seen her use that.  Let me check her summary real quick..."

*recalls Kingdra to her pokeball*

*pulls up summary*

*looks through it carefully*

*looks surprised*

"...huh...says here that she knows...Dragon Rush EX...must have learned it just now, because I 100% know that she definitely didn't know that move an hour ago..."

*shrug*

He puts Kingdra's pokeball away for now, then pulls out a Great Ball.

"Alright, time to do a little cleanup.  You remember how I used to talk about Inari and my mother's research all the time, I'm sure.  Well, it finally paid off.  And my mother just so happened to be kind enough to share the results with me.  May I introduce to you..."

Reiner sends the Great Ball spinning onto the battlefield.  The form that emerges is sleek.  Low to the ground.  Four-legged.  All expected from an Eeveelution, of course.

But then the details start to become clearer.  As the pokeball's light fades, the pitch back scales become visible instead of the characteristic fur of the other eeveelutions.  Long, sharp claws adorn each foot.  The tail is long and thin.  The eeveelution's ears lay flat as she snarls, ready for battle.

"...Ridia, the Savage Wyvreon!  Over two decades of research have gone into this, and I'm happy to say that the results were more than worth the wait.  Care to help me test out her new strength?"  *chuckles*  "Not that I think Ridia is going to give ya much choice in the matter, now that I've released her."

Reiner makes double sure to get Poe back out of his pokeball as well (cuz need to make absolutely sure that Ridia's Disobedience is lowered to 3)

"Ready to cheer your sis on from the sidelines, Poe?  It's time for her first battle as a Wyvreon!  Ridia, time for a little cleanup!  Dear old Lucy hear just bested Kingdra, but only just barely."

Ridia assess the situation, noticing that that the Dragon in front of her definitely looks like she's on her last legs, and is crackling with electricity, the booming Thunderstorm only augmenting that...but also being centered around said Dragon as well.


She snarls again in response to Reiner's orders, and before Lucy has a chance to blink or realize what's about to happen...

Extreme Speed 1-3! (just in case the first doesn't manage to KO Lucy)
Acc: 4 + 5 + 3* - 3/4/5 = 9/8/7 D6
Dmg: 3 + 5* + 1 Tough Claws - 3 Defense = 6 D6
Eff: +2 Priority!  Initiative rolls can't save you now, Lucy!
Note: Ignores effects that would reduce the move's damage/hit chances since E-Speed is a contact move!

And once Lucy's been KOed, Ridia holds a little celebration of her own, flaunting and reveling in her newfound, fully draconic power.  Yes, this is exactly the kind of evolution she'd been waiting for her entire life!  It feels so good to be able to crush her opponents with her mighty attacks!

Dragon Dance 2/3 (if/once Lucy's been KOed)
Acc: 4 + 5 + 0 - 4/5 = 5/4 D6
Eff: +1 Str and Dex!

And I imagine Poe's probably cheering her on with all his might!

"*Nods* Yeap, that's the cloud in the silver lining for us. Jeff would've been totally thrilled at the chance to meet his old sweetheart, and we both know he wouldn't pass up the chance to showboat and tease her silly...or angry, more like. *Chuckles* He's worse than Lucy is sometimes, I swear! *Laughs at the mention of luck* Luck had no part of my girl's victory, Reiner! *Spreads arms wide* Only her OVERWHELMING POWER, her determination to win, and a few mishaps on Kingdra's part, heh heh!"

When you brought up how calm your normally raging dragoness was, Taylor gave you a confused/funny look.

"Huh? Kingdra's still got anger management issues? Could've fooled me, since she's seemed just Pecha keen from all I've seen her, but you know her better than me partner. Guess this fight must been a real treat for her then if she wasn't blowing her top like an upset Camerupt, huh?"

Your answer concerning Dragon Rush EX simultaneously cleared things up for and intrigued her, judging by her mood and slightly upraised eyebrows.

"Huh indeed......interesting. Looks like your girl is more special than the average Kingdra, *Chuckles* though given where she came from and who raised her, that isn't much of a surprise."

The thief extraordinaire slowly raises an eyebrow at your seeming non sequitur, then look somewhat taken aback as she heard you out in full. "Yeah. How could I forgot you yammering about it, and asking me if they was anything I turned up that could help Evolve an Eevee into a Dragon?  *Looks surprised* Wait, what? You meant to tell me your ma actually - "

She was cut off when you summoned Ridia, her debut and unmistakable Draconic appearance leaving her openly stunned, while Lucy's eyes widen the sight of her fellow dragon kin and felt herself back away from them when she snarled like an some savage demon. Both trainer and Pokemon like had the exact same thought as they studied her: 'Holy shit, that's one mean Dragon!'

While the two women were too busy being stupefied and cautiously cowed by the vulpine dragoness (Who'd seemed to get more and more viscous and intimidating by the second!), you had plenty of time to summon Poe to the sidelines and brief him, and to your complete lack of surprise he was jumping for joy at your request. He quickly scurried over to the outskirts of the arena and right beside Lucy (who'd you placed there to watch the Fight, and was watching it with strangely quiet intensity), and started raising his paws up in the air and letting out excited, joyful "E-E-Eevee, Eevee!"s  of support for his Big Sis! You can do it, sis! Take down that feathery noodle, and take your first win as a Dragon!

Before Poe came, Ridia was a veritable nightmare. Her ears were splayed back against her skull, her eyes were narrowed to the point of near verticality as she glared holes into her DRAGON opponent, all her scales bristling as their color rapidly changed from ultra dark blue-black to an vivid blood red crimson, her teeth bored in a almost impossibly sharply fanged scowl that dripped violence like a leaky faucet, and her big Tough Claw carving dents into the floor as she hunched down, ready to spring forward and carve into her opponent! 

Without a shadow of a doubt, she was ready and WILLING to have her very first battle as a Wyvreon, almost - no, definately to the point of excess. A Savage Wyvreon lived and breathed to Fight, and that urge was causing her blood to boil at the sight of her Draconic, wounded foe, telling her to stop waiting around for her partner's orders, and just charge forward to rip and tear them to -!

After Brother Dearest came out, she quickly took notice of him and rapidly, her savagery and blood lust deescalating drastically as she heard his cheers and perked up, before she turned around and gave him a much more friendly grin, *rrrowling* out her thanks. She then faced her foes once more, doing exactly as you described and no longer acting like some demonic wolverine from hell. This change of temperament was also reflected to the rest of her body too, her scales going from crimson to a whispy blue-gray and eyes/ears going back to normal, as if she never was about to do horrible things to her opponent. Wow, what a mood whiplash!

Taylor and Lucy were stunned by the sudden change of Ridia going from 'Monster Dragon' to 'Friendly Drake', openly goggling at her before they forced themselves to regain their cool, with your old partner shaking her head and standing a bit straighter , while the Stormbringer stopped shrinking back and leaned forward to glare at the Dragon Fox Goddess, rumbling out a cry of defiance.

".....For a second there I thought I'd have to recall Lucy and send out Royce to beat her off, but it seems like she's settled down now that her....brother's out. Narwly......Wyvreon you got there, partner. Must be one heck of a beast, if the way she was acting earlier was any indication. *Smiles* Seriously mad props to your ma for discovering this Dragon Eeveelution, for it sure as heck looks mighty, fierce, and mighty fierce!"

 *Frowns thoughtfully, with concern....and with caution* 

".....Are they always like, though? Without somebody acting like a.....I dunno, a restraining bolt for them? If so, I don't envy her at all, or what ya have to do to keep her from shredding everything in sight or from boiling pissed. Yeesh, what a Dragon......*mumbles* one that I don't want to own - way too unruly for my blood. Only someone like my partner tough and is ballsy enough to handle a Pokemon that nuts."

*Stops Mumbling, and points straight at you*

"Alright, enough of us being Torchic livered! Lucy, blast Ridia into next year!"

More that ready to head their command, the electromagnetic dragoness readied herself to do just that, and take down that wolverine dragon!

Reiner Vs Taylor Round 2!

Ridia Initiative: (6) Second!

Extreme Speed 1
(6)(6)(2)(6)(6)(6)(3)(6)(2) What the literally hell......again? Welp, things are going to get interesting.....
(6)(6)(6)(6)(6)(6) ....Yeap, these dice are being cleansed with my holy acetylene torch. Excuse me for a moment.....*Fwoosh!*
.....aaaand before Lucy could even think to react, she'd brutally impacted by Ridia and send flying out of the battlefield, crashing into the wall and leaving an indent, before they peeled off to the floor, very very very Fainted.[/b]

Then, before you or anyone else could respond, a dark red and smoky like aura surrounded Ridia, before she reared her head back and *RRRRRRRWWWWAAAAAAARRRR* to the storm cloud above, causing them to burst apart and completely dissipate instantly, much faster than usual! Thunderstorm Weather has ended.

Demonic Dragon Dance
Auto Success
Ridia STR and DEX increases by 2; Moves have High Crit Now. 

Ridia's Disobedience shoots to 5.......before dropping back down to 3, due to Poe still being out, whose's startled by this turn of events but strangely (or not) not frightened by them (his love and trust for his Big Sis must be indomitable, or something). But its clear to you that getting her listen to your orders is still going to be a nightmare now, for the Dragon Fox Goddess is fully embracing and revealing in the darker aspect of her divine nature (AKA: Loyalty Rolls will still be preformed at 3 Disobedience).

Its also abundantly clear to you she's not going to back down anytime soon until she's Fainted, or she has defeated every last one of Taylor's Pokemon, which makes recalling her all but improbable at best and an invitation to being attacked at worst.

Oh boy.....now you know what Fluidity felt like when this happened to her.....

Speaking of the thief, she looked downright scared as she stared at Ridia aghast, before her expression darkened into a severe frown as she recalled Lucy, and with a smooth flick of her wrist brought out an Great Ball of her own.

"Okay, guess Royce is going to beat some sense into this Dragon of your's after all. Sorry about that, partner."

Her eyes never left the wolverine dragon as she casually spoke that aloud, before the next thing you know her Great Ball had hit the field, opening up with a flash and revealing.......

.....Nothing?

??? Stealth: DEX + Survival + Stealth (*12)  - Minimal Cover/Concealment/Facing Hyper Aggressive Dragon (10) = 10D6 Dice
(2)(2)(6)(6)(1)(3)(5)(3)(5) 4 Successes Tie
Ridia's Alert: INS + Survival + Alert + Aggressiveness (2) = 10D6 Dice
(1)(5)(6)(5)(2)(2)(3)(4)(4) 4 Successes Tie
Reiner's Alert: Auto Success 

Then, you saw them: A Shiny Dark Ninja Blue-Black Scizors, who had used the light of his own materialization to hide off to Ridia's side while he calmly prepared to take on the raging dragoness! 

Bulk Up
Accuracy: DEX + Fight + Intimidate (0) + Single Stealth Action (2) = 13D6 Dice
(1)(4)(4)(6)(2)(2) (1)(3)(4)(1)(1)(1) (5)
Royce's STR and Defense increases by 1!

Unfortunately, she managed to hear the faint sound of his metallic exoskeleton creeking, causing her to whirl in place to face the heavy metal mantis and use her own attack of choice! What will it be?

Find out in the conclusion of the Stealth Round, and the beginning of Reiner Vs Taylor Battle Round 3!

(.....And I'll stop right here. This post was suppose to be done a lot sooner than this, but then I rolled out all those (6)s, and.....well, the results speak for themselves. You just cause my dice to act in the most odd of ways. You can decide what Stealth Round Action gets (If the Loyalty Roll pans out in your favor), before we move straight onto Round 3.)
