[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Your team is pretty weird and RPG-like already if you think about it. A street magician Azumarill, a tinfoil hat Gothitelle, a caveman-Eevee/Glaceon/Espeon, a Mightyena with wings. Even Whimsicott has the custom Ethereal Ribbon. Togekiss is the only fairly normal one.

Giant Machoke Round 1

Fake Tears 1
(2)(5)(4)(3)(3)
-2 Vit for Machoke

As Lilith pretends to cry, you all notice that Machoke has black tear stains of its own. Though its eyes are violet, a genetic ability to see in the dark, they also seem very sad.

Seismic Toss 1
Machoke reaches out and grabs Espeon by the tail(s) and whirls him around and around, then releases him straight into a wall. Meanwhile Shiva has swung the Shield and set its point in the ground with a loud cry, creating a field of impenetrable fiery force around Espeon. (Shield will protect Espeon from damage for the rest of the round).

Then something strange happens. A ghostly afterimage follows Machoke, a gigantic soldier of the kind who would have fought for Sarimanok in his last days. It hits Espeon as well but again deals no damage.

Even an invincible cat doesn't like being bashed against a wall.

(4)(1)(1) The move fails, perhaps due to psychic interference from Espeon's own prediction of the future.

Seismic Toss 5
(3)(6)(3)(3)
(4)(4)(4)(3)(5)(1) (5)(2) Gothitelle faints as Machoke confidently jumps up and drives his intense bodyweight down on her prone body. KNOCKOUT!!!
