Giant Golbat Round 1

Flash 1
(3)(6)(4)(4)(2)(4) (3)(6)(2)(5)
-3 Acc for Golbat as he switches to echolocation.
Seems like he's never seen light before. He's very disoriented.

Nuzzle 1
(4)(3)(6)(5)(4)(6) (5)(2)(6)(2) Critical
(6)(4)(3) Golbat takes 3 dmg 18/21hp -1 pain
Golbat was paralyzed.

Even paralyzed and disoriented, Golbat is a threat, and he looks to prove it.

Nasty Plot 1

+2 Str for Golbat

Reflect 2
(4)(4)(2)(3)(4)(4) (1)(2)(1)

Golbat keeps smacking into the invisible screen like a bird against a window.

(6)(2)(4)(5)(6)(3) (4)(4)(6) Critical first use of this attack.
(6)(5)(5)(1)(4)(3) (4) Golbat takes 6 dmg 12/21hp -1 pain.

Golbat swoops down and puts Duosion entirely within his mouth.
Bite 2
(5)(3)(1)
9 Str + 2 power -5 vit = 6d6+1
(4)(5)(1)(5)(4)(4) Duosion takes 5 dmg, but Nathan heals her with a Super Potion as Golbat drops her.

Leech Life 3
(5)
(3)(2)(3)(1)(1) Really? Duosion takes 1 dmg and Golbat heals it.

Energy arcs between Duosion's body and the glob of cytoplasm in Golbat's fangs.

Psywave 4
(3)(6)(1)(5)(5)(1) (2)
(5)(6)(1)(6)(3)(1) Golbat takes 2 dmg 3/21hp

Electroball 4
(2)(4)(2)(1)(3)(1) (6) Barely hits.
(4)(3)(4)(6)(4) Golbat faints!

Golbat drops some Silver Powder and 20XP.

No damage (nor HP recovery) from Leech Life, actually!  It's a Contact move, so Reflect would affect it and nullify the damage entirely!

Duosion can't help but be simultaneously terrified and smug during that battle.  They can take it!  But what if it tries to eat her?  Nah, it'll be fine!  ATTACK!!

Yeah, this whole dual personality thing is going to be quite something, apparently...

Emolga's breathing heavily after that battle.  Phew, he's not moved that fast in a long, long time...he's feeling accomplished, though!  Giant, 15 foot tall bat pokemon?  No problem, right?

Nathan gathers up that Silver Powder carefully.  While it has the same effect as the Itching Powder sold in Cress City, it's probably far more valuable due to being the real deal item made by certain bug pokemon.

...which makes Nathan wonder where this Golbat got it from.

Well, a mystery for another time, probably.  Nathan will leave Golbat where it is.  It probably wouldn't like the surface, and he doesn't really have any need to catch a massive Golbat.

Another battle down. And closer and closer to the Sword we get...
