[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Yay, Kee's eager increases as beautiful Absol retreats from the lake and trots over to him, gives him a rather timid yet honest smile and - what's that?! - carefully rubs herself against a leg of his? Awww must her her way to show affection and say thanks for having guided her successfully through this duell with the dragons, Kee's very moved by that ☆(╥ω╥) and pats and scratches her white head-fur.

The he knees down to be on eye-level with her, his gaze an excusing one. "Listen, I'm 'honestly sorreh for ya havin' snatched and copied a.... shadow move of all things, I could see and feel how uncomfortable that's been for ya. Been gamblin' and hopin' that this dragon would bring up a DRAGON move, slayin' that dragon with 'nother dragon, ya see..." He runs a hand through his hair. "I said I'll make up for ya. So, do tell, is there anythin' you'd like or wish for? Somethin' special to eat, a particular training or play-time to hone yar skills in a safe environment, just bein' left alone for a bit, something?"

Karen and Rui both breathe a sigh of relief, and Karen walks over to Kee to ask him a question.  "Is it okay if I catch the Dragonair?"  She hasn't caught very many pokemon on this adventure, and she seems to be interested in trying to train the large dragon.

Karen's simple question receives a simple answer: "Oh, sure, if ya like!~ Wanted to, uh, ask ya whether ya'd like to capture this Ex-Shadow Dragonair anyway, since I do not." Kee shivers a little over that thought but manages to give Karen an encouraging look. Octavia playfully glances at her: 'I DARE tha dragon to hurt ya, they'll suffer mah wrath if they do!~ "

Kee, Astoria and Octavia let their gaze wander across this underground lake, now being able to step to its shore. "The only thing I kinda wanna have... Is tha SKIN this Dragonair and the Dratini shed, see that ones that's driftin' on tha surface? Those are rare 'n maybe valuable, and quite pretty. And a SCALE of it if doable."

Mechanically speaking, that Dragon Scale* Dragonair is holding here:

Spoiler

Dragonair begins whipping up another Twister, and Octavia's unable to Clash it because she's been Flinched!  The draconic winds howl through the caves once more!
Twister 3
11 - 6 - 2 = 3
(4)(3)(2)
4 + 2 + STAB + 1 Dragon Scale* - 2/3/5* (-3 Detect) = 6/5/0

If Kee can't reach those things without having to go into the lake, he will try to fish them up with his Good Rod, if that's not possible either he'll ask Mercury and Yurei to snatch them from the surface. Being birds, they should be able to do that easily.

Astoria shrugs.  She appreciates the thought, but she has no idea what she would even ask for.

Karen's definitely fine with Kee taking the skins, but not so sure about the Dragon Scale.  "I think we should examine it carefully before doing anything with it.  Just a feeling I have."

That being said, Karen works on catching the Dragonair while Kee tries to fish up the shiny objects.

*rolls*

Gotcha!  Dragonair was caught!

Try as Kee might, the fishing rod's hook doesn't seem to be able to attach to the objects at the bottom of the small lake.  Milotic mentally chuckles.  Ahahaha.  You could ask me to fetch them, you know.  It doesn't look like they'll be particularly difficult to retrieve now that the Dragons have been dealt with.

Meanwhile, Karen's started examining the Dragon Scale, and Scizor's found a rock to sit on and is nibbling on another berry and an apple.  Rui's timidly hanging back with Scizor and Espeon, watching.
