"Rulers of the stars are others like me. Powerful Pokemon more powerful than any you have enslaved. More powerful than Latios and Latias. Terra's master understood - the hybrid dragons. Wish maker. Others, more bestial. Most have no interest in this planet."
"If you do not accept bargain, next step is to fulfill ultimatum. Let us see what you look like on the inside."
It lashes out with an arm, slicing right through the air and intervening rubble to slam against the Shield.

Ohhh, Deoxys Prime's seemingly rather skilled in the art of 'Angering and offending Shiva personally', as their words of enslaving Pokemon hit another sensitive nerve within the natural fae-enthusiast. She's beginning to have a hard time controlling her wrath and preventing it from overtaking her, as she parries the rubble they slammed against her Shield she fails to hold herself. "Oh is that so?~ Well, I'm not sorry, but while those rulers of the stars may have no interest in this planet, WE as its inhabitants definitely HAVE as this is our HOME, you can't expect us to not defend it! (ﾒ` ﾛ ´) We can do much more, SO MUCH MORE than 'enslaving' Pokemon, for example bonding with them and raising them to be our close friends and allies, ready to FIGHT alongside us and in our name for what WE THINK IS RIGHT!!!"

She takes a breath from those heated words. "If you're going to fulfill the ultimatum, SO WILL WE!! There's no need to go and see what we look like on the inside 'cuz I'll tell you already: Determination to bring you down and fighting spirit, you'll only raise it by every cut!!" Alongside these words her own fighters manifest from the tossed Pokeballs, it's a fluffy wad of cotton and a huge maliciously-looking panda!



Whimsicott starts it off by manipulating the air currents to her side's own advantage.

Accuracy Roll Whimsi's Tailwind 1: 4 Dext + 3 Fight + 6 Channel + Ethereal Ribbon Bonus - 5 Actions = 9d6
Effect: Grants +2 Dext for our fighters. I'll assume for everyone since Cosh can move this bonus around.
Secondary Effect: This move has +1 Priority thanks to Prankster Ability, so probably going right after Speed Deoxys.


Then she goes into full offensive mode by accelerating this breeze into a raging storm as well as blasting the enemy with the blackest of darkness!

Accuracy Roll Wimsi's lethal Hurricane 2: 6*Dext + 3 Fight + 6 Channel - 3 Innacurracy - 6 Actions = still 6d6
Damage Roll: 5*Strength + 5 power of the move + *STAB = 11d6
Additional notes: This move has 3CD to confuse.

Accuracy Roll Wimsi's Night Daze 3: 6*Dext + 3 Fight + 6 Channel - 7 Actions = 8d6
Accuracy Roll Wimsi's Night Daze 4: 6*Dext + 3 Fight + 6 Channel - 8 Actions = 7d6
Accuracy Roll Wimsi's Night Daze 5: 6*Dext + 3 Fight + 6 Channel - 9 Actions = 6d6
Damage Roll: 5*Strength + 3 power of the move + *STAB = 9d6, Clones ignore SE-damage
Additional notes: Has 4CD to reduce Accuracy by 1.

Whimsicott will target any Clone that's still standing when she gets to perfom an Action, aiming to defeat an exemplar completely before moving on to the next. If unsure or equal, target Speed Form.



Pangoro ROARS and YELLS at the top of his voice as he spots all the destruction of this pretty town, furious about what Deoxys Prime has done to the people and Pokemon! This as well as that reddish powder he shakes from his bamboo twig totally catches the Clones' (and Prime's?) attention.

Accuracy Roll Pangoro's Rage Powder 1: 4 Dext + 3 Fight + 3 Intimidate - 3 Actions = 7d6
Effect: ALL foes will target him for the whole Round.
Secondary Effect: This move has +2 Priority, going before Whimsi's Tailwind even.

"Well done, now use that attention against them!", Shiva calls to her panda, who taunts those Clones into a full-blown strike at him only to get out of the way the very moment their blow would land, tricking them into hitting the Prime instead!
No Insight Roll's needed. To increase the odds of this manoeuver to succeed, I'm sinking 18XP into Shiva's Evasion Speciality, which I probably won't really use again. But in THIS instance, it could be the lifesaver.

Pangoro's Evasion Roll 2: 6*Dext + 3 Fight + 3 Evasion - 4 Actions = 8d6
Pangoro's Evasion Roll 3: 6*Dext + 3 Fight + 3 Evasion - 5 Actions = 7d6

If all Clones are down and he's got an Action left, use Dark Pulse against Prime which has 6*Dext +3 Fight + 6 Channel = 15d6 Base Accu and 5*Strength + 3 power of the move + STAB = 9d6 Base Damage. This move has 2d6 to flinch also.



Shiva's got a Super Potion for regular Damage and a Max Potion for plotdevice'd Damage ready for both her battlers. She'll grant Shield Protection to Princess for this Round, BUT will call for Cosh to move it to Pangoro if he fails his Evasion Roll.
