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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Reiner's clapping.  "Excellent showing, Royce.  Looks like Ridia needs to work on showing her superiority a little.  Hard to back it up if you end up KOed for the trouble of showing off.  Still, I'd say she still put on a fine performance for her first battle, even if it was a little...wilder than I was expecting."


Reiner kneels down to ruffle Poe's fur a little, which is hopefully comforting for the little guy.  "I think she's going to be okay.  Let's just hope she doesn't lose herself entirely to those instincts again, right?  Thanks for your help with keeping her in check.  That would have probably been a lot worse if you weren't around.  Mr. Mime will make sure she gets proper medical attention once we're finished with this battle."

Once Poe's been reassured, Reiner stands and gets out his next pokeball.  "Two of my Dragons down, 4 more pokemon to go.  Let me introduce you to my third Dragon, one I personally picked out from the rabble that was offered to me when I first got my new job."

Reiner sends the pokeball spinning onto the battlefield, where a long, unmistakably serpentine form emerges.  The large hood, the Intimidating patterns on the hood, and the purple coloration unmistakably mark it as an Arbok.  A familiar sight for all citizens of the Tohjo regions.  (Kalosian and Alolan citizens, too, though the snake and cobra pokemon aren't nearly as common in those areas as they are in the Tohjo area.  In addition, sightings of Ekans and Arbok in Sinnoh are very rare, but not unheard of around the marshes)

"Arbok, you have an easy target.  Take him down, then prepare for your next opponent while you have the advantage.  They're fast, and we can't switch, so we need to be tough and ready for anything."

And said Arbok immediately hisses, primed for battle, ready to show why Arbok are so feared by all but the most skilled of trainers.


*hiiiiisssssss*

Arbok is more than happy to comply, as his maw becomes wreathed in flames to roast that bug that's napping on the job!

Fire Fang 1-3!
Acc: 4 + 5 + 2 - 1 Acc - 3/4/5 Actions = 7/6/5 D6
Dmg: Normally auto KOes a Scizor at 2 HP due to type advantage.  (but just for good measure, it's 2 + 4 - 5* + QE = 1 D6 + 2 damage)
Eff: Doesn't particularly matter in this situation (unless Royce can somehow survive taking a Fire Fang with only 2 HP left)

And once Royce has been KOed...

Coil 2/3
Acc: 4 + 5 + 1 - 4/5 = 6/5 D6
Eff: +1 Str, Def, and Acc!  Nothing like boosting 3 major stats when ya want to be prepared for anything, right?

Royce doesn't respond, as he is Asleep by that point, but Taylor does give you a smile for your praise.

"I'll be sure to tell him that later, and yeah, Ridia can learn a little.....*Shakes head* yeah no, a LOT more discipline before she makes her next showing. *Looks thoughtful* Hmm.....agree with ya, but still wish she didn't end up that......unearthly."

Little Bro does seemed mollified by your kind words and pats, and gives you a sad but understanding nod of his head. Yeah, she can get a little rough and wile, but she still his Big Sis, and he loves and trust her with all his heart. One day, she'll settle down to her old self, but until then he'll be right there by her side, cheering and supporting her all the way, and making sure she doesn't do something she'd regret.

He (Poe) does request to be put back into his ball, though, as he's not in the mood to watch your battle anymore, bar you Ordering him to actually support your Pokemon (In which case he's willing to do).

Taylor takes one quick look at Arbok as its summoned, and cursed softly to herself, before giving you a wry smile.

"Well, that's a big ol' brute, alright. Going to be tough wearing down such a healthy looking snake, but I got a few tricks up my sleeves that just what might be what the doctor ordered, heh heh...."

Reiner vs Taylor Round 4!

Arbok's Initiative: (6) Goes second against Royce, since he has higher DEX.....not that it matters in this case.

Fire Fang
(5)(*2)(3)(4)(*4)(1)(1) Hits, thanks to Arbok's Luckiness!
The red hot fangs sears out the last remaining traces of vigor within Royce, causing them to fall into an even deeper state of 'rest'.

Coil
(2)(4)(1)(6)(6)(1) His snake eyes won't fail him this time!
Arbok's STR, Defense, and Accuracy increases by 1!

The thief extraordinaire promptly recalls her heavy metal mantis, and without a moment's pause summoned her next Pokemon from a Love Ball, revealing Cathy, who blinked a bit before they looked up at the big boa and then at their partner questioningly......

"*Smiles sinisterly* Cathy, meet Arbok. He's your latest troublesome patient, a Poison type, and pretty solid all around, so feel free to bone up all your medicine techniques on him. And I do mean all of them. They're all prepped up too, so they're ready for your procedures. Have fun~"

.....before they calmly turned back to the snake, reached into their robe's and pulled out some sturdy looking and fingerless surgeon's gloves and put them on with an elastic *Snap*, and quietly warbled something to the slithering serpent and they stared into their eyes. Something that had his slited pupils suddenly widen in fear and scoot back, no longer looking entirely confidant after his easy victory over Royce.

Ruh oh.

Cathy's Initiative: (2) Going last. 

Reiner Vs Taylor Round 5: Coming soon to the Game Thread to you, right away Orders are given!
