[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

As dusk sets in, you and Jiordan patrol Area 6. You're roaming about, stopping people from setting out powerful baits, when you smell something nice and aromatic. Unfortunately, as you reach for the Aromatic Herb, so too does another denizen of the Safari Zone! Two shadowy hands are clutching at the leaves, ready to poison them and wilt them! It's the ghostly claws of a Haunter!

Baits? ...Baits for what actually? To trap strong Pokemon to later force them into a Safari Ball? One way or the other, whenever Shiva does spot someone trying to comit such a crime in cold blood her intimidate traits show through and they quickly agree to use normal bait instead or completely abstain from traps 'cause these are cruel.

Having seen the weather forecast this morning, Shiva also makes sure to warn the Cup- participants she and Jiordan pass by of the upcoming freezing temperatures, asking them to take good care of their and their Pokemon's health as it's much more valuable than victory. Instead of Lilith and Primal Glaceon Vaporeon and Delphox accompany her now, the former to provide free water to people and the latter to help setting up a warming campfire to those who are struggling with it. Raphael stays out to patrol the sky and enjoy the fresh air of falling dusk and the beautiful sight of the setting sun: He chims in to a disarming and sweet melody once more, somewhere between the pages a melancholic tune is concealed.


Eventually that aromatic scent arrived Shiva, despite she had no idea where it came from it almost instantly caught her. It was as if that sweet aroma was calling for her, alluring her, she completely failed to withstand it. That almost overwhelming sweetness, faintly it reminded Shiva on her dear Spritzee! Seeing how both her magical fox and waterly Eeveelution were sniffing the air curiously, they could smell it as well. "Delphox, you stay here please, light up the surrounding for me and warn me if anything lurks nearby that could be a threat. I trust in you to keep me safe... Vaporeon, you come with me." A delightful chip and the duo was off.

The source of the scent turned out to be a beautiful purple plant that Shiva is rather unsure whether she has ever seen before. What a beautiful shade of purple it bears, must have. <3

Just as she extended her hand to gather some of this plant, she flinches heavily and stumbles back in fear. That fear very swiftly made a 180 degree turn though to become anger upon noticing what that nasty Haunter was up to. "Oh nononono, YOU WON'T! Vaporeon, forward!" Following Shiva's outstretched arm, the waterly Eeveelution leaps forward with a determined cry.


Accuracy Roll Vaporeon's Helping Hand on the Aromatic herb: 4 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Perform = 9d6
Effect: A plant can't attack. But Vaporeon can smack Haunter away from it for example!
Secondary Effect: This move has +5 Priority which means it'll go before anythingelse Haunter can pull off.

This will surely initiate a battle 'gainst Haunter, which is very fine. Vaporeon will face the pesky ghost, ready for the Init Order.
