[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

Anyway, what you gonna do now? Weaknned, lost Steel type and cant use moves. What you gonna do?

Not really any big reasons to continue.  While I could have continued with Rhyxemplar and attempted to do chip damage with Stomp and other Normal type moves (I probably would have had to crit with them to be able to do anything), things were just getting a little too grindy/unnecessarily serious for my/Reiner's tastes in the case of this battle.  Yeah, Reiner was throwing some pretty big pokemon at Taylor, but she was actually doing quite well, all things considered.

No regrets about Horn Drilling Jeff, though.  While I very well could have just ground it out a little and done some chip damage to him before going into Frosslad/Rajin to exploit their methods of dealing large amounts of damage to him, I really wanted to display how...overzealous Rhyxemplar is when facing actual Dragons and pokemon in the Dragon egg group.  While he was willing to use Horn Drill on any one pokemon in Taylor's repertoire, I specifically wanted him to use it on a Dragon.

At the end of the day, the purpose of the battle was to showcase some of Reiner and Taylors' pokemon, and that's what happened.  Not quite how I imagined it would go, and there are definitely some pokemon that could have been in the spotlight a little longer, but I'm generally happy with the result.



I will also say that I wasn't really planning to use Rhyxemplar, though.  If Cathy hadn't been such a massive pain in the rear end for Arbok to deal with, I woulda just used a different pokemon entirely.
