Genesect Battle! Round 2
Oinari's Illusion triggers immediately, as if a second Genesect has appeared in a flash of light. The real Genesect roars and leaps for it, trying to hide the fact that it has already been wounded.
Cotton Guard 1
(2)(3)(4)(2)(6)(3) (6)(1)(3)(1)(6)
+3 vit = 7d6 vit
Cradling that final blade weapon works just about as well against Brawl attacks as Canalize - the big difference is just that Calam is so fast, as fast as this legendary blademaster. Genesect won't quite be granting 3 dice of cover; I'll make it 2.
Rock Smash 1
(3)(1)(5)(4)(3)(3) (3)(6)(4)(6)(6)(4) Critical.
12d6 after crit, -7 vit, -2 cover
(2)(4)(4) +1 Got it. Calam worms his way through Genesect's many limbs and uses his horn to activate the legendary Rock Smash! The final weapon is flung out offensively, in desperation, but too late. The circular blade shatters and Genesect is left defenseless but for a Drone.
Genesect also takes a small amount of damage to its torso from the cover.
Lucky Chant 1
(2)(5)(2)(3)(3)(1) (5)(1)(2)(3)
Good things may happen!
Flash
Flash mostly just enrages Genesect. It's still able to see and is just as accurate.
Crucially, Oinari has time to act before Genesect goes. She rushes forward, bravely swinging her intact (but illusory) weapons at Genesect, hoping to catch his missing weapons in her own and redirect them. If this goes wrong, the tiny one will suffer, and Michael will be extreeeemely hard pressed to keep her out of harm's way. Since she is so loyal, though, she'll risk it! Howl's breeding helps too.
Intimidating Foul Play 1
(6)(3)(1)(5)(6), (4)(3)(6)(5)(5), +3 perform, (6*) It's a great performance and a solid strike, on a Genesect who is only bluffing, really. However, Genesect still has that drone and thus still has a modicum of confidence.
You do get the advantage of Genesect's large Strength score, though.
10 Str + 3 power +1 stab -7 def = 7d6 dmg
(5)(5)(5)(1)(6)(4) (1) Genesect takes 4 dmg in a big blow to its ego. Genesect's ego takes 1 Plot Device Damage.
Since Genesect doesn't flee, Michael will have to use this action in protecting the baby.
Rock Slide 1
(4) The wounded insect manages to pull it off.
10 Str + 3 power + 1 STAB = 14d6
Michael grants 3 dice of cover
(1)(2)(1)(4) (4)(4)(5), (5)(4), (6)
Oinari takes 0 dmg, mercifully preserving the illusion
Michael takes 4 dmg (2 from one attack, and 2 while defending the baby)
Whimsicott takes 3 dmg
Gustav takes 5 dmg
Golett takes 4 dmg
Calam and Gallade take 6/5 dmg, which faints them again. But they have performed crucial roles.
Azu takes 6 dmg
Dusknoir and Nubi take 5 dmg. Dusknoir barely hangs on.
Feraligatr and Skarmory takes 5 and are barely hanging on.
Shiva's Pokemon take Potions, although one needs to wait a sec.
CD: (6)(4)(6) The good guys flinch!
The legendary just carries on as if nothing has happened, thrashing about even more.
Earthquake 2
(2) But it doesn't have enough strength left to pulverize you.
Power Gem 2
(1)(5)(6)(3)(1)(3) (5)
(4) Drone D takes 2 dmg but it's still doing OK.
Water Pulse 2
(6)(1)(5)(5)(4)(2) (5) Critical.
(2)(5)(3)(2)(4) Genesect takes 3 dmg.
(5)(4)(6) Genesect was confused! That's going to be much more helpful than the chip damage. (Chip damage that would have flattened any other Pokemon!)
Feraligatr summons more water from the Slowpoke Well, smacking that drone.
Hydro Pump 2
(3)(6)
(2)(4)(3)(4)(5) Drone D takes 4 dmg
Steel Wing 2
(4)(5)
(4)(6)(4) Drone D faints!
HURRICANE 2
(2)(4)(5)(5)(2)(4) (4)(2) Critical, a great first impression for this move.
(4)(6)(5)(1)(5) Genesect takes 4 dmg and is spun all about.
Azu FINALLY gets to use Rain Dance!
Rain Dance 2
(6)(1)(1) + (6*)
It begins to rain, the moisture from the Well below you condensing and forming a surreal underground rainstorm. Feraligatr gives a roar of approval, but it's drowned out by the roar of HATRED from Genesect.
Anything could push the legendary bug over the edge now! It's weaponless, it's confused (and very low on accuracy dice), its drones are slain, and it's getting WET! And it just spent the last five seconds being blasted around in a hurricane! Its ego takes another point of Plot Device damage.
Golett mechanically steps up to deliver a punch to Genesect. He's probably hoping more that it will help him evolve than that it will do anything to Genesect, really.
Rock Smash 2
(1)(5)(1)(4)(6)(4) (5)(6) Crit
(1)(1) No damage, and Golett doesn't feel energized to evolve into his Titan form. He looks like he's trying hard to remember a past that has faded from his memory.
Drain Punch 3
(3)(4)(3)(2)
(6)
Toya gains 1hp
Intimidating Foul Play 3
(6)(2)(2)(4)(5), (5)(6)(2), +3 perform. It hits, and the performance is convincing!
Oinari races forward, swinging rocky blades and kind of howling like a Zorua. Terra is yelling too, having spent a Will point earlier to encourage his little one!
Slipping and sliding in the water accumulated from the rain, Genesect tries to bring up a countering blade. It notices it has only a shattered spur where the blade used to be! It's out of weapons, and one arm is hanging half-off! Its drones are gone, and it's facing an unharmed exemplar of its own species which is not showing any fear!
Genesect begins to retreat. It takes one more action against Oinari, just to see how badly it is routed and to do a last minute bit of damage.
X-Scissor 3
(3) Miss.
Insight: (1)(2)
Genesect manages to rip its own arm off, leaving it hanging in Oinari's jaws! With a wailing chatter, it dashes back down the orichalcum door, leaving sliding footprints in the stone in its haste to get the heck out of there... away from YOU! Since it missed X-Scissor, Oinari manages to maintain the form a little longer and CHASE Genesect in its rout! They tumble through to the floor below, and Genesect Digs away to nurse its wounds for another century or two.
You recover one obsidian crescent that would make very nice jewelry, selling for $18,000 after Shiva has a chance to craft it. If you can manage to convince someone it's from a Genesect, the price doubles. However, you may have to worry about that DNA getting into the wrong hands.
As Oinari transforms back, dropping the illusion, you hear her give a sort of whine of approval at what she's found in the level below.
Every Pokemon in the battle, whether it fainted or what, gains 25XP. +5 bonus XP for Bastiodon for fighting without a partner. Every trainer gets 25XP as well, +8XP for heroism.
You may increase the Loyalty score of any Pokemon in your party by 2 (or spread those points around a bit.) This can even bring a mon to 5, because that was an inspiring sight! You can also trade a point for 5XP.
The Scimitars come back, cradling their wounds and their Gauntlets, and give each of you a Super Potion and a Revive.
The Fossil Garden is completely trashed...cracked with fissures and wrinkled with damage, and it's still raining... Cofagrigus, however, ignores that and comes out of the shadows grinning from one side of the casket to the other, and offering handshakes to anyone who'll take them. It lets you keep three of those Golden Keys - they'll sell for $10k apiece.
As soon as it gets a chance, it slips down through the orichalcum door and you can hear it cackling madly.
"Noble ghost Pokemon, I have a request to do. You promised if we beat the enemy you would join me. Time to fulfill the promise."
"Also, with your great knowledge, is there for my Golett reach his full power? If there is than please tell me.
Cofagrigus grins at your request, since he was planning to renege on the "deal." Ya never shook on it!
Three of the Yamask float over to you, but then they float down into the lower chamber instead. Cofagrigus gestures to be patient with them.
As for your second question, Cofagrigus nods!! There is a way for Golett to evolve within the Ruins somewhere.

They had won.
Despite everything, they had won. Against all odds, his plan worked, and he, his friends, and his allies had prevailed.
Such was the thoughts of Terra Sanaa Ismet, as he watched his dark darling in disguise chase Genesect away and into the abyss, the Rain soaking him to the bone
When he had bet it all on his last strategy - a desperate and hastily cobbled together plan to scare Genesect away using Oinari's Illusions and his own Skill as a master Contest and considerable Intimidation - he had little hope it would actually work as intended. It was an insane gambit, meant more to draw away the primal beast's attention from the others so that they could focus on breaking its weapons and bring it DOWN. Nothing more than a diversionary tactic, with only the slimmest hopes it would throw off or psych out the big bad Bug.
Yet, somehow, by some miracle, his mad plan had worked. It had worked beautifully.
His trickster fox had managed to pull off magnificent and dominating Foul Plays under his direction, and Mikey did a terrific job of keeping her well out of harm's way from Genesect's retaliatory attacks. He cringed and grimaced as the primal beast managed to Flinch EVERYONE with Rock Slide, but heaved a *SIGH* when they flubbed their next attack completely, and became slightly hopeful when Gustav managed to Confuse it (They're DEFINATELY getting a treat from him later for that) with a particularly ballistic Water Pulse.
The biggest moment was when Oinari had succeed in TERRORIZING Genesect enough to force it into retreat, and then helped tear off a limb of its after it mis-aimed an X-Scissors at her, and THEN hounding after it for good measure! He would have shouted out in surprise against that decision of hers, where he not also caught up in the same fever as she was in, bellowing out with her every assault and bearing his teeth in monstrous scowl at it. Never in his life had he felt so emboldened and INVIGORATED, so passionately AGAINST an adversary, and so viciously THRILLED at seeing his enemy cower and flee from him. In that one moment, he had shared a feeling total exhilaration with Oinari, and it was awesome.
But now, that feeling had faded as the epic battle drew to a close, the adrenaline ceasing to flow in his veins and the impassioned glow dimming into nothingness. He felt tired and stressed out beyond belief, and not to mention extremely worried about everyone and ESPECIALLY his furry little girl, who had disappeared down the pit with Genesect itself.
When he heard her healthy and happy sounding whine, though, he heaved a great big *Sigh* of relief, the tension seeping out of him as his head and shoulders slumped downward.
Oinari was alright. Everyone was alright. No lasting harm was done to anyone in the group as far as he could tell during the battle (Sans perhaps those two Scimitars whose Gauntlets blew up), and any Damage sustained could be easily recovered from or patched up. All was well with the group.
A small smile appeared on his face as he thought of that, as he slowly moved his head up and looked at Shiva, Nathan, Heart, Spira, and the Scimitars.
'.....I did it. I fulfilled my duty. I protected my friends and allies. Forced Genesect to flee, and help open way forward. I.....did well. I did well...'
Terra was happy and proud of what he accomplished. Simple as that.
Shortly after the mechanical mages return, he went to Cosh and simply asked "Will your Scimitars be okay? Do you have means to repair their Gauntlets? Can they be repaired? Or do you need to.....replace them and Scimitars?"
He then used the Revive he received on Marco's Luxray (Decided to Revive him instead of Gallade for convenience's shake), then summoned Solomon to use Heal Pulse on them (Luxray), Scarmory, and Feraligatr after recalling Mikey was done healing their wounds with their Toxic Orb (and dancing around and crying out in triumph over the group's victory, ORAH!). Since Marco's Pokemon had no Trainer to care for them, he decided that he would take it upon himself to make sure at least some of them would get back in good enough condition.
Concerning Cofagrigus, he would accept a handshake from them, but not without putting on three layers of long sleeve plastic gloves (Or wrapping his hand in a thick shirt, if he did not have said gloves) on the hand that did that shaking. He's read about their Mummy's curse, and he did NOT want to be inflicted with it by so carelessly exposing his flesh on their body. He also was paying attention as they were reigning on the deal he made with Heart (He'd watch it take place, like the others), and a dark frown quickly formed on his face at such dishonorable business practices take place before he marched over and confronted the gilded Ghost, summoning Pixie by his side and glaring straight into their red eyes.
"Honor Spirit (of) Deal with Heart. We beat Genesect, with little warning of it or time to prepare. Something you could not. If you do not honor deal, you are a cur that does not deserve the crown you hold. Unworthy of it, and the wealth you own. Understand?"
Yeap, Terra was legitimately pissed at Cofagrigus for their duplicitous wheeling, and is unsubtly threatening bad things should they persist in their treachery. Which, considering he had just helped defeat Genesect, had his Intimidating Pixie by his side + Angie (who had Dug her way out of the ground shortly after the battle's end) floating above glaring at them too, lent a certain weight to his demand. What happens remains to be determined....
Finally, when everything else is sorted out, he'd jumped down the pit/fly down into the pit on Angie to check up on Oinari and retrieve the Obsideon Crescent she snagged (as well as that arm, if its not said crescent) and find out what she was so eager about. As a kit she was naturally excitable, so it could be nothing, but he had a feeling that whatever garnered her interest was something special indeed. A Genesect was guarding after the pit, after all, so something big had to be down there, right?
Orders: Revive Luxray, have Solomon Heal Pulse them, Scarmory, and Feraligatr, get onto Cofagrigus' case by attempting to Intimidate them into following through with his deal with Heart, then go do into the pit to retrieve/check up on Oinari, get that Obsideon Crescent, and find what she was interested in. Time to see the final bit of Boss Loot we get, mates!
XP and Loyalty Point -wise, Oinari and Edmundi get 1 Loyalty each, Oinari learns Agility for 37 XP, and Terra gains 1 Point of Channel for 18 XP, after that experience he shared with his friendly but feisty fox! I'd also like to know how much XP would it take for Michael to learn Giga Drain, as that is the long await upgrade to his poultry Absorb and a truly powerful and fitting Grass STAB for him to use!
