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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

"Wait.....this Eeveelution has Variants? And this.....Noble Wyvreon is a much more docile beatie? Then why didn't ya.....you know, choose to Evolve the girl into that instead. Much less of an hassle and risk to life and limb to do that, if you ask me. *Looks stunned* What? What? Are you serious? ...You are. Graaaah.....SW's sounds like an unholy mix between a Gyarados and Hydregion if it can and WILL do that.......nasty nasty nasty Dragon. Even the Elders would hesitate in raising something THAT viscous and mean - its why those old coots don't breed many Deino and Gibles in the first place, from what I scrounged up. *Shakes head* I honestly don't know how you can handle her, but you can, so......*Shrugs* great job and lucky you?"

(Thank for the reminder, mate!)

Ridia's Loyalty: (2)(5)(5) Tie, goes to Reiner, due to not having a (1) in the Roll
Ridia's Disobedience: (1)(6)(6) Tie

The wolverine dragoness huffs irritably at your strict command and lets our a rumbling *Rrrrrrowwll.....*, but in the end she does nod, clear indication she was not going to be Lethally maim anyone tonight. Whew, what a relief!

Taylor doesn't have much to say in response as you elaborated on what a SW is truly capable of, as her expression tightens and her stance becomes even more on guard.

".....Reiner, I hate to say this, but after seeing this happen to your super ornery Dragon and hearing everything from ya girl, I have to definitively say your luck sucks like a hungry Gorebyss. At least, for this week. When I can, I'm buying you the the strongest luck charms I can afford, just to counteract your's best as possible. 'Cause your luck is just downright schizophrenic, and it needs to be put on meds 'fore it does anything more crazy, hard as that is to believe. That can wait until later, though. Now, I have a borderline blood thirsty Dragon to take care of, before it wipes out half my team or more."

Ouch. Harsh. But not unreasonably so....

Ridia's Loyalty Roll: (5)(3)(3) 1 Success, she's listening to you this time.
Ridia's Disobedience: (3)(2)(1) Nope

Riza Counter Stealth Action: Bite
(3)(3)(1)(4)(5)(2) (6)(3)(4)(3)(5)(1) (6)(5)(6)(3) Ridia explodes forward and clamps down on the heavy metal mantis arms with enough force everyone could hear his exoskeleton creek loudly in protest. Critical Hit.
Damage: (1)(6)(2) (6)(3)(3) (5)(4) Royce takes 4 Damage; 6/10 HP (+ 1 VIT Surprise!, which bypasses Tough Claw's Effects!), - 1 Pain
Flinch: (1)(1)(5) Nope

The ninja bug doesn't Flinch or even seem all that phased by Sister Fiercest's Bite, and coolly wrenches them off and tosses them back to their side of the arena, where she landed with grace and snarled at her foe, blue-black metal fragments gleaming in her fangs. Both Pokemon were starring each other down, one reproachfully and the other wrathfully, and tension in the room rocketed straight to the stratosphere. It was, to put it light, not a very comforting sight to bear witness to.

Royce's Initiative: (4) Going Second.

Reiner vs Taylor Round 3 is about to begin. Rely your orders, and let's hope for the best!

Reiner simply shrugs when Taylor asks why he evolved Ridia into the Savage variant.  "Because Ridia's a brawler, this is the evolution she chose, and I made sure to stress that she shouldn't give in entirely to her savage instincts before I evolved her.  And the evolution quite suits her, honestly, nor are her savage instincts usually this...potent.  Interestingly, the only reason Inari evolved into the Noble variant was due to it being a completely accidental discovery, despite having a personality very similar to Ridia's.  Risks of groundbreaking research and all that.  Inari would have probably preferred the Savage variant, to be perfectly honest.  The Eevee that ended up evolving into the Savage variant actually belonged to one of my mother's friend's, apparently.  It's rather ironic, all things considered.  And of course, the Elders wanted to know how my mother had done it when she finally puzzled out how to evolve Eevee into Wyvreon.  You can probably imagine how that went for them, though."  Reiner chuckles.

As for Taylor's second string of comments...

Reiner sighs in response to those.  "...you don't even know the half of it, Taylor."  And that's all Reiner has to say about that for now.

He coolly motions to Ridia. While he is prepared to put a stop to this himself if he has to, he doesn't think she's out of control just yet...

"Continue, Ridia.  Let's find out how Taylor plans to deal with your Strength and Speed.  There's little need for your strategy to be more complex than 'attack' at the moment, correct?"

*snarl* (though whether she's snarling at the Scizor or snarling at Reiner's orders is up for debate...at least she's not going to seriously injure anyone, though, so yay?)

Bite x3!
Acc: 6* + 5 + 3* - 3/4/5 = 11/10/9 D6
