[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Oh that's really cool. I love surprises. Honestly, more into surprises than into battling."

"Alright, speaking of surprises, this guy knows some cool moves!"

He sends out Empoleon.

(3)

Hmmm...alright then.  Oh yeah, and Sentry's Leftovers restore 1 HP, so she's back at full HP again! By contrast, the Stealth Rocks start glowing, then crash into Empoleon, dealing 1 damage to it before they settle back in their original positions, patiently waiting for their next target!  Like this moment in the anime:


(Don't be fooled by Elekid's confident look.  Those rocks took him by surprise!)

"Alright Sentry, rinse and repeat!  Leer, and then hit that Empoleon with some more rocks!  We don't have much to hit that thing with, so let's just do our best! Take it a little slower this time, though, alright?"

Sentry looks a little confused at that second to last statement for a second, and actually looks back at Nathan questioningly.  She doesn't quite fully understand it because she totally has a move that could defeat that Empoleon lickety split, and her young mind totally wants to use it because she doesn't completely understand the concept of why they might want to keep the move a secret.  Nathan just shakes his head though, and Sentry redirects her attention back to the battle to carry out the given orders! Very well, if she must...she still won't let that penguin break her defenses very easily! She'll break its defenses instead with a rain of rocks!
