Primal Shadow Round 1

"Heeheehee!  This is going to be a breeze!  You Fighting Types can't touch me!"

Confusion (Hoopa) 1
It doesn't affect Machamp...

"Wait, what?!  WHAT?!"

Machamp just starts cackling as they start to crackle with dark energy.  "Ahahaha!  AHAHAHAHA!!  You FOOLS!  You've been deceived, and you didn't even realize it!  Nobody in Sahra Town did, and it's going to be MINE!  ALL MINE!  AHAHAHAHA!"

Dark Pulse 1
Random Target: Target #7 (Pyra)
3 Dex + 3 Fight + 3 Channel - 2 Actions = 7d6

(6)(3)(2)(6)(6)
Pyra takes 2 damage! 3/5 HP -1 Pain
(5)(3)

Behind Machamp, everyone suddenly hears the loud clang of something clanging against a metal object.

???

Engaged in this battle, though, there isn't exactly any time to check it out!  Kee rushes headlong at Machamp!

Headbutt (Kee)
(4)(3)(5)(3)(3)(2)(2)(1)
(5)(6)(4)
Machamp takes 3 damage! 47/50 HP -1 Pain
(4)(3)(3)

Suddenly, the entire battlefield starts to shimmer and waver, and the surroundings start to change.  On the tracks in the background, a cart that had been hidden in plain sight suddenly comes into view, shadowy energy completely covering the top of it and concealing whatever is inside.

The more obvious change, however, is staring Team Omega Seekers right in the face...

Zoroark's Illusion is broken!



"Wait, Zoroark?!  You're the reason that construction in Sahra Town has slowed down so much lately?!"

"Yes, Marcus!  You thought it was Machamp, but it was me!  Zoroark! AHAHAHA!"

"Everyone, she's gone almost fully Primal!  We need to knock some sense back into her ASAP, or we're going to be in huge trouble!"

Unfortunately, Karen had been too slow to pick up on the signs that something here was off, so her first attack just glances off of the Dark fox pokemon.

Confusion (Karen) 1

It doesn't affect Zoroark...

Shadow Punch 1

(6)(4)(5)(5)

(5)(5)(2)

Zoroark takes 1 damage 46/50 HP -1 Pain

Kogeki lunges at Zoroark from the shadows to strike with his fist.  Zoroark casually turns around and catches the punch with her claws, throwing Kogeki away from her.  She shakes her hand in discomfort, though, still having felt that attack to some degree.

Marcus glares at Zoroark, determined to put an end to this and put things back to normal.

-1 Defense for Zoroark and Machop C

Bubble 1

Machop A and B take 3 damage! 1/4 HP -3 Pain

(6),(3),(6)

-1 Dexterity for Zoroark and Zorua B!

Zorua A and Bs' Illusions are broken!

The two Machop that Daxter attacked with a flurry of Bubbles are badly hurt by the attack, and their forms waver and shift into quadrupedal Zorua immediately afterwards.

The rest of the Zorua drop their Illusions immediately after Zoroark starts ordering them around.

"Attack, my children!  Wear the ones who aren't wounded down, and don't let them escape!  Leave Marcus to me, though.  I want to enjoy this." 

Pursuit A-E

2/1* Dex + 1 Fight + 2 Single Action (-3 Pain) = 5/2 (A)/1 (B)

Random Target: (4)
Zorua D's Will: 

(4)(2)(3)(1)(3) 1 success

6 successes total

Pyra picks a Zorua at random and S T A R E S at them with those cold, dead looking eyes.  The Zorua stares back, their red eyes wide, their legs trembling...

...and then they collapse and faint immediately from the sheer terror!

Kogeki tries to capitalize on the opening by using a move that should be slightly more effective than his previous one.

Quick Attack 2

(5)(6*)

(6)(4)(4)

Zoroark takes 3 damage! 40/50 HP -1 Pain

(-)(-)(-)

Zorua A takes 1 damage and faints!

"Phew...that was close..."

*C L A N G*

*C L A N G*

"Yikes!  What the heck is that noise anyways?!"

???

Everyone briefly looks towards the cart behind Zoroark, and notice that the shadows covering the cart seem to be dissipating, and the clanging is getting more frequent.

Zoroark scowls.  "Quiet you!  Or I'll have to silence you myself!"

Before she can, though, Karen manages to get the jump on her since she's been slowed by Daxter's Bubbles!

"You're not going to be silencing anyone!  Not whoever's in there, nor Marcus, nor me!"

Disarming Voice 2

2 Ins + 2 Con + 1 Allure - 4 Actions - 1 Pain = 0

The move fails!

She coughs just as she finishes that sentence, though, and has to catch her breath after being hit by that Pursuit earlier.

"You think you can stop me, girl?  Just watch and see how powerless you are!"

Zoroark starts marching towards Marcus, who raises his bone defensively.

"So, you're going to confront me directly?"

Zoroark smirks.  "Of course.  I can't hit you with my most interesting move without getting closer."

"Then get as close you like!  You can bet that I'll be ready for it!"

"With pleasure."

Zoroark suddenly becomes cloaked in dark, shadowy energy as she recklessly rushes straight at Marcus!

Shadow Rush 2

9 - 1 - 4 = 4

(5)(5)(1)(6)

2* Strength + 2 Pow + SE - 3 Def = 1d6 + 1

(5)

Marcus takes 2 damage! 4/6 HP -1 Pain

Marcus winces as he takes damage for the first time in this dungeon, briefly becoming wrapped in the shadowy energy of the attack Zoroark just used.

"Urf...so that's what it feels like to be hit by that kind of move...I'm not out of this yet, though!"

Before Zoroark backs off, he tries to ram his helmeted head into the fox's at point blank range!

Headbutt (Marcus) 2

(6)(4)

(6)(6)(3)(1)(3)

(3)(2)(4)

Zoroark takes 2 damage! 38/50 HP -1 Pain

"Gah!  You'll pay for that, you little brat!"

Ice Fang 2

1d6 - 1 Pain = 0

The attack fails!

Much like Karen before him, Daxter has to catch his breath after being damaged by Pursuit earlier.

Everyone except Zoroark has run out of steam by this point, and the illusionist shows no sign of letting up any time soon!

Feint Attack 3

3 Dex + 3 Fight + 2 Brawl - 6 Actions - 1 Pain = 1d6

(3)

Hits anyways

2 + 2 + STAB - 3 = 2

(3)(2)

Marcus parries Zoroark's claws perfectly with his bone weapon as more clangs start coming from the cart in the back.

???

*C L A N G*

"Is someone out there?  Hello?  Get me out!  I'm not sure what those Zorua did, but it's got me trapped in here!"

"I said be quiet, you!"

"Machamp!  Don't worry, we'll get you out!"

Primal Shadow Round 2 (The Actual Initiatives)

Hoopa: 9
Machamp: (3) + 5 = 8
Kee: 8
Karen : 8 (3/5 HP)
Zoroark: 7* (38/50 HP, -1 Dex and Defense)

Kogeki: 7 (4/5 HP)
Marcus: 6 (4/6 HP)
Daxter: 5 (3/5 HP)
Zorua C and E: 4 (C has -1 Def)

Pyra: 4 (3/5 HP)
Zorua B: 3* (1/4 HP, -1 Dex)

Kogeki trying to hit Zoroark with his best move, didnt had time to react to a Zorua appear from behind. He use his kunai as a shield against that time dark-type move. It did help he remember some of his old training, and thankful this give Pyra enough time to her show her deadly aura. Kogeki nod his head thanking Pyra.

He double his speed trying to attack Zoroark with a more effective attack, using his speed and the force of his kunai to give that big bad dark type some bruises. But of course, trying to make sure Zoroark dont go full Primal. As much tempt it is to stab Zoroark eye with his blade, this act could make her enter full Primal state and making things even more difficult. He step away of Zoroark, trying to catch his breath.

He can barely see his enemy. But he have no choice but continue. He need to keep going, past his limits. "They keep going and going." He see one of the Zorua B almost falling in his knees. Thats the opportunity. With one enemy left, Daxter and Karen can focus his efforts to finish the remained enemies and Zoroark himself.

 "Time to put some training to the test." 

Kogeki then go in three legs in the groung, holding his kunai close to him. Then using using his speed, he use Quick Attack, but somehow his movement is more chaotic...he zig zag from one side to another. Almost like...Almost like a Zigzagoon.

More specific, the way Kee way of zig zag and attack his enemies.

"Kurayami Arts: Zig Zag Headbutt!" Kogeki then mimic Kee way of Headbutt his enemies. Perhaps not as powerfull as Kee can do, but more quick and precise. 

With (hopefully) Zorua B defeated, he focus once more his efforts against Zoroark and with his blade in hand launch to strike that big enemy.

Quick Attack(On Zorua B): Dex(2)+Fight(2)+Brawl(2)-Actions(2)=4D6
Damage: Power(2)+STR(2)=4D6
Effect: Priority.

If Zorua B is defeated:

Kunai Strike(On Zoroark): Dex(2)+Fight(2)+Brawl(2)+Will Point(1)-Actions(4)=2D6+Will Point.
Damage: Power(2)+STR(2)=4D6
Effect: Lethal(Hold)

Extra Action: Use a Oran Berry on whatever member of the group is more wounded.
