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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

"*Nods* Alright. Just let me know when you've come to a decision. *Shrugs* Fair enough. Cathy can take abuse and act like she's suffering more than she is, so Arbok being......vindictive won't be too much of an issue."

===

Taylor didn't have anything to say back to you, so....

Reiner vs Taylor Round 12!

Before Rhyxemplar could even get his horn lance revved up, Jeff launches himself at the metal kaiju at a breakneck pace, a corona of thick water surrounding him as he surged forward!

Aqua Jet EX 1!
(3)(4)(5)(1)(4)(6) (5)(3)(4)(1)(4) (3)(4) He totally swamps as he bowls them over! Critical Hit! Water Gem Activated!
Damage: STR (3) + 3 + STAB + Crit + SE - Vitality (5) = 4D6 + 1/2 Final Dice Total = 6D6 + 1 Damage
(*6)(3)(5)(3)(5)(4) Rhyxemplar takes 5 Damage; 7/12 HP, - 1 Pain!

Potent as the Lord of the Sea's blow was, it was nothing compared to the heavy metal beast's, who'd have been diligently powering up his next attack, his horn spinning at truly astonishing speeds as he took aim at the Dragon, and then rammed it into the their underbelly!

HORN DRILL
(1)(4)(5)(1)(5) (6)(4)(3)(3)(1) (...)
Jeff stomach horribly deforms as the drill causes it to implode inward, before he's spun around at insane speeds and launched right out of the arena and into a pile of wrecked gym equipment. Everyone hears a weak bugling noise coming from him for a few seconds afterwards as he tries to lean back up, before he falls back over unconscious.

The lord protector grimly smiles beneath his helm, and raises his lance horn up into the air in stoic triumph over the superior seahourse. The enemy Dragon has been slained, and the rouge's scheme has been unraveled. His lord and master has bee protected. His will has been done.

As for the thief extraordinare......she less that pleased at the outcome of the Round, as she glowers at you with an irritated and disappointed scowl.

".....You know, I didn't think you'd resort to Horn Drill to defeat Jeff, since I didn think you'd stoop so low as to use an OHKO that take all the challenge out of a Fight, and throws it right into a blender. I have plenty Egg on my face now for assuming that, huh? Hilarious, isn't it. You know also funny? I told Jeff not to use his biggest trick against your Delta Rhyperior, as I thought it was a bit too unfair for our duel, and I wanted to give you a break after Cathy played doctor on your monsters. Heh heh......looked how that turned out for me, eh? Heh heh heh..."

She lets out a bit of bitter laughter, before she pulls out a Premier Ball, and gives you a smile that was not the least bit friendly and sent chills down your spine.

"Welp, if you're going to be like that, I guess two can play that game. If you've think you've been through the worst of my conniving and trickery, you've seen nothing yet. Kyle, give them hell. "

Your old and currently incensed partner tosses the P.B. with a vengeance, hitting the arena with a loud *BRAK!* and summoning a Klefki! At first glance he doesn't look any different per usual standards of his species, but your gut was telling you the little key chain was harboring great and arcane power. Plus, you know Taylor wouldn't send out a Pokemon weak to Rhyxemplar unless she had some nasty way to counter him, so regardless you knew that they weren't going to be a pushover.

On the bright side, this Fairy seemed perfectly pleasant and not the least bit weird or overly serious, giving his opponent and you a friendly smile and a *Jiggle!*, before bouncing forward to face the lord protector without a care in the world. Oh boy, what fun he'll have with his foe, and he hopes they have fun too! Let's have a good game, everyone!

Klefki's Initiative: (3) Goes Second

Reiner Vs Taylor Round 13

Spoiler

I'd say this warrants a music change now, in that case!

The (self proclaimed) Thief Extroardinaire: Field of Hopes and Dreams Drum and Base Remix by NyxTheShield

"In my defense, I didn't teach him the move, nor did I actually tell Rhyxemplar to use Horn Drill.  There's actually not much I can do to stop Rhyxemplar once he sees an enemy Dragon, and he probably would have used it anyways even if I told him otherwise.  The way the boss raised him, he has no qualms with using the move if he feels he can get away with it.  That was before he evolved, though.  After evolving, he actually developed a bit of an aversion to using Horn Drill because it wasn't working out for him.  But as soon as he sees an actual Dragon?  *snap*  It's like a switch is flipped, and all of his qualms with attempting to use the move go out the window.  He takes his job seriously, particularly when enemy Dragons are involved."  Reiner shrugs.  "In any case, you won't be seeing any more OHKOes from my side.  I'll formally apologize to Jeff after the battle.  Interesting to see that he also picked up a move that Kingdra can't normally learn as a species, though.  Definitely looking to seeing what else he's learned later."  Even as...unfriendly as Taylor is right now, Reiner's still playing it cool.

Reiner raises an eyebrow when Taylor sounds out another Fairy.  And not only that, but one that can act as a substitute for thieves tools, too.  Interesting.  Not surprising, but interesting.  He does have to wonder where Taylor got 'em, though...

"Stand your ground, Rhyxemplar.  Watch that pokemon carefully.  No Lethal damage."

For his part, Rhyxemplar just brandishes his horn, ready to give this Steel/Fairy type what for!  He's not out of this fight yet!

Drill Run x5!
Acc: 16 + 1 WL - 1 Acc - 1 Pain - 5/6/7/8/9 Actions = 10/9/8/7/6 D6
Dmg: 3 Pow + 2* Str + STAB - 3 Def? + SE = 3 D6 + 1 Damage
Eff: High crit!

However, that's only his base set of actions, as Rhyxemplar's craftier than just spamming Drill Run ever since that incident with Metagross earlier this week.  
- If that Klefki uses Magnet Rise, he'll swap his uses of Drill Run for Iron Tail, ending with a Ball Bearing Blaster on action 4/5! (depending on if he thinks he can get off a fifth damaging action off or not)  
- If Klefki uses Torment, he'll alternate between Drill Run and Iron Tail, ending with a BBB on action 4/5! (same conditions)
- And if Klefki uses both Magnet Rise and Torment, the action order will swap to the following as appropriate:

Back Up Plan

Smart Strike 1 (non-lethal)
Acc: 16 + 1 WL - 1 Pain - 5 Actions = 11 D6
Dmg: 3 + 2* + STAB - 3? - Reflect = 3 D6 Damage
Eff: Never misses!

Iron Tail 2
Acc: 16 + 1 WL - 3 Acc - 1 Pain - 6 Actions = 7 D6
Dmg: 4 + 2 + STAB - 3? - Reflect = 4 D6 Damage
Eff: -1 Defense (3)

Smart Strike 3 (non-lethal)
Acc: 16 + 1 WL - 1 Pain - 7 Actions = 9 D6
Dmg: same as before
Eff: never misses

Iron Tail 4 (if Rhyxemplar thinks he might be able to get in a 5th damaging action)
Acc: 16 + 1 WL - 3 Acc - 1 Pain - 8 Actions = 5 D6
Dmg: same as before
Eff: same

Ball Bearing Blaster 4/5 (non-Lethal)
Acc: 17 + 1 WL - 1 Acc - 1 Pain - 8/9 Actions = 8/7 D6
Dmg: 6 + 2* + STAB - 3? - Reflect = 6 D6 Damage
Eff: Recharge

Recharge 5

Let's see how Kyle intends to survive through this barrage of drilling and slamming...none of these moves can be Imprisoned by Klefki, and Rhyxemplar isn't all that worried about not being able to have at least a chance of hitting these keys, and standard Klefki don't have a lot to hit Steel types with other than Astonish, Foul Play, and Thief, so you can definitely call me and Reiner curious.

Taylor scoffs at you, not looking the least bit impressed or mollified, giving you a glare so deadpan you could fry an omelet on it.

"Don't try selling me that crap, partner, 'cause I ain't buying none of it. You could have told your brute not to use it, and I'd bet he'd listen to you, if his servile and zealous attitude is any indication. While we may be crooks using every advantage we can get, we are supposed have a friendly duel, not a no holds bar beatdown. And using or letting Horn Drill or any other OHKO is not and never a friendly Move to whip out and chunk a person's Pokemon.  So zip it and cram it with the excuses, for I'm not in the mood for them right now."

Yeouch. She's pretty Krabby right now, but who wouldn't be seeing their Pokemon instantly taken out, with no chance of recourse? 

She doesn't say anything else to you for now, but does bark out her orders to Kyle, smile back in place and dripping with viciousness.

"Kyle? Float, then Total Lockdown on that Delta Rhyperior. Screw him up, down, over, and through. I want them so blighted, not even Cathy couldn't fix them without a day's worth of care.

The key bearer looked startled by his master's orders, his many keys rattling their shock at that command, given how costly and drastic was, but never the less they regained their calm and gave her a cutely serious nod, before turning back to Rhyxemplar. Sorry friend, but what his master says, goes. 

Reiner Vs Taylor Round 13!

Before the metal kaiju could react, the thief's tool crackled with energy!

Magnet Rise
(6)(1)(5)(3)(1)(4) (1)(1)(3)(5)(5)
*Zoom!* Kyle is Immune to Ground type Moves for 4 Rounds!

The lord protector, anticipating such trickery, change his plan of action, spinning around to nail the key chain with his great big:

Iron Tail 1!
(5)(5)(1)(4)(6)(4)(4) *WHAM!* Critical Hit!
(4)(1)(4)(1)(6)(6) Kyle takes 2 Damage; 5/7 HP, - 1 Pain!
Effect: (5)(6)(1) Kyle Defense decreases by 1!

A loud racket was generated as the fae keybearer was sent flying back, looking severely rattled for the heavy metal behemoth's clubbing. Never the less they sprang back forward with pep in their bounce, smilingly widely at them.....

....before his eyes lite up with Power.

FAIRY LOCK EX
5 WILL POINTS BEING SPENT
(2)(2)(5)(5)(6) (5)(4)(*6)
In an instant, a MASSIVE pink glowing star shaped magical seal appear in front of Rhyxemplar, before it embraced him, scorching and binding into his armor that causes him to cry out in shock. Rhyxemplar is Blocked. His Steel type and all his Steel types Moves are Locked Away and Unavailable for Four Rounds. He will be treated as a Pure Ground type in terms of Defenses and Offenses.

At that moment, all his armor lost its Steel luster and turned a faded grey, and he staggered and fell to one knee, bracing himself off the ground with one arm. He was panting and sweating, his eyes shrunken inward as he tried to pull himself together after such a powerful Move. He....he felt so weak and vulnerable, and he knew an integral part of him had been denied to him. W-Wh.....what sort of sorcery was this? 

Across the arena, Taylor wildly swayed and for a moment collapsed into a heap on the group, but she let out a *Growl* and got to her feet, look and feeling haggered and utterly terrible.

"Not......going.......to........falter. Must.......stay........strong!"

You could hear her mumble this to herself in a wispy yet guttural tone, weak but still containing considerable amount of guts. 

Yikes. That Move was fierce-some, but it had one heck of a drawback.

Since all his Steel type Moves have been Locked Away/Unavailable, Rhyxemplar can not do any more Actions this Round.

Kyle himself seemed to agreed with the above sentiment, as he looked back worriedly at his master, before slowly turning back to his foe with solemn determination. His master was okay, and she gave him orders, so he must carry them out.

What followed was a series of Actions that seemed to heap more salt on the metal kaiju's wounds.

Switcheroo
(6)(4)(4)(5)(3)(5) (1)(6)(5)(2)(3) (2)(4)
Kyle traded his Pitch Black Sludge for Rhyxemplar's Wide Lens!

Metal Sound
(5)(2)(5)(2)(1)(4) (4)
Rhyxemplar's Defense decreases by 2!

Torment
(3)(3)(5)(3)(5)(3)
Rhyxemplar can not use any of the same Moves he used in the last Round.

Rhyxemplar loses 2 HP from 'his' Pitch Black Sludge; 5/12 HP, - 2 Pain! 

With that chaste and apologetic kiss, the Round concludes without fanfare, with Kyle looking spiffy, Rhyxemplar looking like hell, and Taylor looking like she went out on a bender for four nights without sleep. The later still had enough energy to give you a weak smirk, before she started wheezing.

"Heh.......Heh.......Heh.........How.......does........it.........feel..........having..........an......unfair........Move........used.........on.........your..........Pokemon...........partner. Haaaaa.....Haaaaaa............probably..........shouldn't..........have.........done.........that..........but..........it...........was.......so............worth......it."

.....Nasty stuff, that Fairy Lock EX is. Nasty stuff...

Current Status:

Kyle: 6/7 HP, Magnet Rise Buff, Holding Wide Lens
Rhyxemplar: 3/13 HP, - 2 STR and Defense, Steel type and Steel type Moves Locked Away/Unavaliable (For 3 More Rounds), Holding Pitch Black Sludge, - 2 Pain, Has Healer for his Ability.
