Boldore Round 2

Boldore gives the Roggenrola more orders!  "You two keep hitting that Water type!  You two, deal with that Ground type while I bash that loudmouth Fairy!"

As ordered, the Roggenrola once again charge at Daxter!  This time, however, they're clumsier because their ears are still ringing from Karen's attack.

Headbutt x2 A
(5)(1) 1 Success
(3)(2) Miss!

WHOOSH!  Suddenly, Kogeki's in front of Daxter, his body colliding with one of the Roggenrola right before they make contact with the blue lizard!

Quick Attack Clash!
(6)(3)(1)(4)(2)(4) 3 successes!  Attack Clashed!

The impact bowls over both the Rock type and the Ghost type, knocking them to the ground!  Kogeki, however, stands up shortly after, practically unscathed.  The same cannot be said for his unconscious foe, however.

(3) Kogeki takes 0 damage
One of the Roggenrola A takes 1 damage and faints!

Meanwhile, Boldore's charging right at Karen, its crystals growing steadily brighter as they absorb sunlight!

Headbutt 1
4 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 - 2 = 3
(4)(4)(2)
2* Str + 3 Pow - 2* Def = 3
(6)(6)(1) Karen takes 2 damage! 2/4 HP -2 Pain
(2)(3)(1)

Karen stands firm, her strange badge glinting in the sunlight as well, even as Boldore stands over her threateningly.  Daxter's Bubble blowing quickly diverts their attention from the small empath, however!

Bubble
(5)(5)(4)(6)(5)(2) Is Daxter foaming at the mouth for battle, or is this just an excessive amount of bubble blowing?
Critical hit!
(4)(4) | (4)(2)(2), (4) Gonna try a new format for writing up Crits.  The two dice on the left are the critical dice.
Roggenrola A takes 5 damage and faints!
Boldore takes 4 damage!
Total: 8!
(-)
(-)

"Gaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhh!!!"

Boldore stumbles backwards as Daxter deals the final blow to the rock type, completely soaking them from crystal tips to toes.  It falls to one leg as it retreats from the battle and its crystals dim again.

Pyra, with no other targets, lunges at one of the remaining Roggenrola!

Bite
(5)(4)(2)(3)(5)(1)(3)
(4)(4)(5)  One of the Roggenrola B takes 3 damage!  2/5 HP -2 Pain
(5)(5)(4)
Weak Armor triggers!  -1 Def, +2 Dex!

Karen obviously objects to what Boldore just said about her.  She punctuates her retort with another attack!  "Who are you calling a loudmouth?!"

Disarming Voice
(4)(3)(3)(6)
(5)(1)(3), (5)
Both Roggenrola B take 2 damage, and one of them faints! 3/5 HP -1 Pain
Total: 8!

The remaining Roggenrola charges forwards, following the last command their leader gave them!

Headbutt x2 B
(6)(5)(4)(3)
(1) No damage to Marcus
(-)(-)(-) Marcus can't yet be Flinched again because he's still recovering from his current Flinch status.

Kee's growling reaches their ears soon after, however, and they soon regret their decision to attack!

Snarl
(6)(2)(1)(4)(1)
(5)(5)(5)(5)
Roggenrola B takes 4 damage and faints!

Marcus Flinched!

As Marcus starts to clear his head, Boldore weakly speaks up.

"...we've lost...strangers...you're strong...we'll retreat from these cliffs...they belong...to you now..."

The fainted Roggenrola all slowly come to and woozily stand up.  Disoriented as they are, they won't be fighting anything any time soon.  The same can also be said of Boldore, though the crystal decorated boulder seems to be made of tougher stuff than its minions, and doesn't look like it's going to simply pass out quite yet.

On Boldore's command, the whole rubble of Rock types stands aside to let the group past.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boldore has been defeated!  Everyone gets 8 exp!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marcus nods to them, having little to say about their surrender.  He walks over to one of the crystals that had been chipped off of Boldore, picks it up, and stuffs it in his bag.
Then walks to the edge of the cliff, looks over it, and whistles.


"Long way down.  Looks like we can use the tree branches to get to ground level without much trouble if we're careful, though."

He then walks over to Karen and hands her an Oran Berry.


"Here.  You did great, as did everyone else.  You've earned this, and we can't have ya slipping and falling so close to our goal, right?"

Karen takes the berry and nods to Marcus before biting into it, fully restoring her HP.  "Thank you, Marcus."

Marcus smiles, then dramatically points his bone club towards the horizon.  He's ready to lead the way to the exit!

"Alright then, ready to go when you all are!  Civilization awaits!"

Kogeki try to Bite previously Boldore. When he was throw away by the powerful enemy, he circle in the air, until he stand up in ground, without any damage. He see the young water dragon get surrounded by the Roggenrola once more, and decided to interceptate again.

On a flash of speed and power, Kogeki appear right in the front of Daxter. One of Roggenrola miss the attack on Daxter, while the other try to Headbutt the Ghost Anubis.

Bad choice. 

"Normal dont work on Ghosts. Last mistake you ever did my friend." Kogeki said with a sinister smirk, Kunai raised in his side. "Kurayami Arts: Storm Sword!" He spin around his Kunai like a whipping-top or a pivot (I think thats the translation), taking the moment of Quick Attack to hit Roggenrola various times. Although Normal moves not be effective, the Roggenrola was already weak by the Attack, and the last strike enough strong to make the rock type bite the dust.

"Daxter! Now!" And he see the demonstration of power of the Water-type, getting the perfect moment to grounch and see the power of the companion defeat the last Roggenrola and Boldore. "*Whistle*" Said Kogeki holding his kunai sword with one hand. "Not bad kid. We are a good team."

Kogeki see his fainted foes, including the Boldore. Such powerful Aura as that Boldore...it would be a waste leave such power behind. 

Kogeki was tempt to drain the aura of Boldore...until he remember what Kee and Karen said. He just sight and walk towards Kee. "We won. And we defeat a really powerful enemy...And I think I owe you a apology. But let me explain my reasons to absorb auras."

"I need to become strong. Strong enough to help us all. More powerful enemies will appear before us. And until you all reach your final forms, I want to be the Guardian, the one who protect everyone in the darkness. A ninja do what is necessary to protect your companions. Also..." Kogeki touch his snow scarf. "...This scarf means something to me in my previous life...I dont know why, but it is. I need to find answers. And I think...becoming a Lucario is the first step."

"But...I need to respect the place of authority in the moment. With your permission Kee, can I absorb a bit the Aura of Boldore? This guy is powerful, and I sure even he could resist the Aura Draining. However, I will spare the Aura of those Roggenrola since they already defeated and might need to carry Boldore out of here. But such enemy as Boldore have a really powerful Aura and could help increase my own Aura power."
