[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Alexis Round 2

Susano'o becomes enveloped in a sphere of rainbow colored light!  The sphere hardens, a crack appears in it...

...and then two giant swords completely cut through and shatter it, and Mega Daikatuna stands tall and proud!

Here's the source.  This design was apparently potentially going to be the original design for M-Daikatuna.  Of course, it could have changed since then...


In case anyone is wondering, in this game, Mega Daikatuna gets +1 Strength, Defense, and Sp. Defense, and its Ability is Sheer Force.  Daikatunite is also very, very rare.

Aspido curls inwards, hiding in his shell as best as he can.

Withdraw 1
(5)(4)(4)(2)(2)(2)
Aspido's Defense increases by 1!

Luxio tries to cripple that big, scary fish!

Thunder Fang 1
10 - 1 - 2 - 1 = 6
(1)(6)(4)(2)(3)(3)
3* + 2 + STAB - 4* - R + SE = 2 D6
(1)(3) No damage!  Luxio's fangs can't penetrate that steely hide!
F: (3)(4)
P: (1)(5)

Alexis is quite impressed, and also very surprised once more!  Her Luxio can't even touch this Water type?!

Rapidash continues to try and break that crab's shell wide open with raw power!

Bounce 1
10 - 1 - 2 = 7
(1)(3)(6)(5)(6)(6)(6) The horse comes crashing down on its target with incredible speed!  Critical hit!
3 + 4 - 4* + SE - R + 2 Crit = 5 
(6)(2)(5)(2)(5) Aspido takes 3 damage! 9/15 HP -1 Pain
(2)(3)(3)

It's finally Susano'o's turn, and he takes a defensive stance with his swords crossed in front of him!

Iron Defense 1
(2)(4)(2)(2)(3)(2)(6)
+2 Defense for Susano'o!

Aspido hurls some more rocks at that horse in a rage!

Stone Edge 2
9 - 2 - 4 - 1 = 2 D6
(2)(6)
(4)(1)(3) Rapidash takes 2 damage! 5/9 HP -1 Pain

Luxio tries again to dent that fish!

Wild Charge 2
10 - 1 - 4 = 5
(1)(2)(3)(6)(2)
3* + 3 + STAB - 6 + SE - R = 1 D6
(3) The attack just bounces off of Susano'o's crossed swords!

Rapidash is still attacking recklessly!

Fire Blast 2
10 - 3- 1 - 4 = 2
(3)(3) Miss!

Susano'o's turn to attack, and as he raises his arms, they both become wreathed in water!  As he swings his arms, a wave of watery energy washes over all who oppose him!

Hidden Power Water 2
(5)(3)(3)(3)(4)
3 + 4 + STAB + 1 Rain + 2 SF - 4 = 7 D6
(6)(2)(4)(2)(6)(1)(4)
Luxio takes 4 damage! 2/8 HP -2 Pain
Rapidash takes 5 damage and faints!

Luxio has little choice but to try and sabotage this attempt to create an impenetrable tank!

Roar 3
10 - 6 - 2 = 2
(6)(5)
Susano'o is forced out of the battle!  (He retains his Mega state, but he loses the Iron Defense buff and cannot be switched back in until Round 4)

Aspido doesn't like being hurt, so he lays the hurt on Luxio!

Giga Drain 3
9 - 1 - 6 = 2 D6
(3)(1) ...well, he tries to, anyways.  That didn't exactly go as planned...

Luxio didn't declare a fourth action this Round (not wanting to risk a Luck Die herself), so this last one is all Aspido's!

9 - 8 Act - 1 Pain = 0 D6

...except he doesn't have enough dice remaining to pull off an Absorb, so whether he hits it is going to be up to Lady Luck!

Lucky(?) Absorb 4
(2) Bzzzzzzt!  Nope that's a misfire!  Fortunately, this isn't a particularly powerful move.
Unfortunately, his Absorb still hits a target, but it's not one he wanted to hit: he somehow hits the Sitrus Fruits that are growing on the tree on his back.  Aspido cannot benefit from the effects of Harvest for the rest of this encounter.

Alright, who's Kogeki sending out next?  Alexis has her third pokemon ready to go already!  She doesn't have any end of Round comments this time.  Just a serious look on her face as she concentrates on the task at hand and formulates her strategy.  Suddenly, she's not feeling so confident that she can win this easily...

Rain, Reflect, and Light Screen all have 2 Rounds remaining.
