[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Karen definitely wants to check out that weird looking Absol.  Amethyst does too.  "Be careful with that Mandibuzz, alright?  This place is giving me the heebie jeebies too..."

Espeon encourages Rui to join Randolph in fighting the Mandibuzz, rather than Rui suggesting it herself.  She still sounds a little shaken from the earlier incident, but she's trying her best to not be a burden.  "...m-may we join you, Randolph?  If these Shadow Pokemon are as bad as Espeon says they are...w-well, I'd like to help.  Or...try to, at least..."

Mandibuzz stares at the passerby below as they work on getting themselves organized.  It doesn't seem to be aggressive at first...

Rui, not being a pokemon trainer and having amnesia, is uncertain which pokemon to use for the battle.  She ends up looking to Espeon and Scizor for advice (neither have a pokeball for differing reasons).  Espeon simply shakes its head and looks at Scizor.  The armored bug gives Rui a nod and prepares himself for a fight.

As soon as Randolph and Rui gather underneath the tree Mandibuzz is roosting in and start summoning pokemon, the vulture spreads its wings and shrieks!  It leaps off of the branch it's on and dives towards the humans and their pokemon, now in full attack mode instead of waiting around for something to happen!

Welp, looks like it's gone plain berserk.

Shadow Mandibuzz Round 1 Initiatives
Paula: (6) + 9 = 15
Scizor: (4) + 9 = 13
Mandibuzz: (4) + 9 = 13

Not even a second after the black buzzard decided to attack did Ran started to curse vehemently, rushing forward to cover Rui with his diminutive form as much as he could, glaring at the Mandibuzz with a vengeance! The sea sprite was a bit more reluctant to sally forth to the front line, despite her natural Type advantage of the feathered fiend (Shadow Pokemon were scary !) , but never the less she came to the defense of Rui and her master by standing between it and them!

"Verdammt noch mal und Arschloch, I hate when my worst expectations turns out right! Paula, put this Mandibuzz to Sleep like ya did with that Gyarados, then cast that Lucky Chant of yours, send a Water Pulse at it to try and disorient it, before sucking it dry with your Draining Kiss! Scizors, if she manages to put it to Sleep, I suggest you use that opportunity to either buff yourself and go quickly on the assault, or hurt it good while its vulnerable! Rui, watch us carefully, and you'll pick up how to battle in no time! Now, everyone, let's take this vulture DOWN!!"

Orders: Well, do you look at that, Paula's going first! You know what that means: trying to put the big birdie to Sleep with Sing (Let there be much Conditional Will Point usage on it!), the Lucky Chant to eliminate some dice luck, followed by Water Pulse to try and Proc it's Confusion effect and then capping it all off with a Draining Kiss! If Paula get's bodied for 3 or More HP Damage, immediately use a Potion on her the first chance Ran gets, but if Mandibuzz is Asleep and at - 1 Pain......use a Dusk Ball (If the Shadow Sky outside would fulfilled it's Max Capture Conditions) or Great Ball (If it doesn't) to try and Catch it before it Faints, as Ran's curious to see if a the Shadow Pokemon of Mt. Coronet remain that way if Captured before being Fainted. That, and if taken out that way, then it can't get up to any mischief with its Shadow Moves, now can it? Let Rui's first proper Pokemon battle commence!
