[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Daxter doesn't spend much time dwelling on Kogeki's words right now.  "Just focus on getting through this.  We can talk about that later."  He then quickly issues basic orders to his team as the situation looks like it's about to get a lot more chaotic.  "Snom, Rolycoly, find some more cover and hit Landorus from there if you can!  Rowlet, let's go on the offensive and try to Flinch him!  We need to try and interrupt him!"

VS Shadow Therian Landorus Round 2

Gallade immediately steps out from behind the rubble of the rock pillars, defiantly standing in front of Landorus as the cat-like pokemon snarls menacingly.  "I won't let you harm them!"  He begins focusing his psychic powers, preparing to intercept Landorus's next attack!

(6)(5)(4)(2)(1)(2)(2)(2)(3)(2)(3)(3)
Gallade is protecting Snom, Daxter, Hoopa, and Kee!

Not wanting to get blasted again, Rolycoly is more than happy to follow orders and roll behind the pillar with nothing swirling around it, specifically avoiding the one surrounded by shadows.

Number of shrine rocks without anyone behind them: 3

Landorus roars, using his claws to dig up rocks and toss them at the targets he's focusing at random!

Gallade takes 1 damage and Flinches! 8/9 HP

Gallade holds back many of the rocks with his psychic powers, the Lucky Chant and Wide Guard protecting everyone from the worst of Landorus's attack, but a few rocks slip through the defensive wall, and he appears to be struggling as the barrage threatens to make him lose his concentration.  "I can't...keep this up...forever!  If you're weak to Ground...or Rock moves...get to cover...now!"

Platina, not needing to heed those instructions, flies right up to Landorus and screeches directly into his cat-like ears!

Metal Sound 1
(3)(6*)
Landorus cringes as his special defense is decreased by 2!

Landorus immediately turns and snarls at Platina, malice in his eyes as he meets the much smaller birds gaze.  He didn't seem to appreciate her exploiting his sensitive hearing...

Daxter and Rowlet lunge at Landorus, attempting to Flinch the big cat with their attacks!

Landorus is Frozen!

Daxter's jaws clamp onto one of Landorus's legs, and his frosty fangs react with the frost coating Landorus already!  The legendary pokemon yelps in surprise as the aquatic Charmander not only ambushes him, but flash freezes him as well!

Homebrew Mechanic: Pokemon inflicted with Frostbite are twice as likely to be Frozen (roll a 5 or a 6 on the chance die).  This removes the Frostbite effect, and the target cannot be inflicted with Frostbite again until they are no longer Frozen.

With Landorus thoroughly incapacitated, Rowlet switches focus from trying to Flinch to trying to get as much damage as he can!

Leafage 1

Landorus takes 1 damage 43/60

Braixen runs for cover as well, following Gallade and Platinas' instructions.  And as long as Landorus is Frozen, she's definitely not using any Fire moves!  She decides the pillar with cold air swirling around it is within her comfort zone.  The shadows and electricity are rather unnerving to her.

Kee finds that he seems to have gotten sand in his throat when he tried to block that last attack.  He swears he can almost taste the shadows too...wait, can you even taste shadows?  Regardless, yuck!  Kee has to spend this action spitting the sand out instead of attacking.

Karen dives behind the shrine shrouded in lightning!  She can feel the static electricity starting to build on her metallic accessory.

Kogeki's Strength and Defense increase by 1!

The little Riolu flexes, preparing for the ultimate wombo combo!  Meanwhile, Snom scurries behind the only pillar she can hide behind: the one shrouded in shadows.  Unpleasant, but she doesn't exactly have a choice, and Landorus is still giving her the stink eye and being very Intimidating.

"No portals yet?  Well alright then!  I'll just keep hitting him directly in that case!  Hehehe~."

Landorus winces from within his icy confines as Hoopa's attack deals a powerful blow to the Legendary pokemon!  "There's more where that came from, big guy~."

Kogeki rushes forwards before Landorus can react to Hoopa's taunting.

Landorus is not having a good time.  Frozen solid, being accosted by a bird and wet salamander, another bird screeching at him extremely loudly...

Braixen peeks out from behind the chilly rock to try and add insult to injury with her psychic abilities.

Landorus roars as Karen's psychic power assaults his mental defenses, his concentration absolutely destroyed by Platina's screeching.  The wind begins to pick up as sand starts to swirl around Landorus once more.

"Rooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

The roar changes to a much more common sounding yell as Landorus's form begins to change, the sand obscuring him as his silhouette shifts from that of a feline to something more humaniod.

And then the sand explodes outwards, accompanied by the familiar sound of breaking glass (or is it just the ice shattering?), sending everyone reeling and interrupting their remaining actions.  If there was any doubt that Landorus was more powerful than Tornadus and Thundurus, the very force of that explosion should leave little room for any.

The sand continues to blow through the shrine, carried by a sudden wind as the black storm overhead increases in intensity.  And barely visible through the sudden sandstorm, the party can see a much more humanoid Landorus trying to fight off the dark energy crackling up and down his body.  He convulses and twitches, screaming in rage and pain!

And then the screams stop, and he's suddenly surrounded by a massive amount of sand crackling with that same energy.  He refocuses on the party, his eyes darkened by a shadow that's paradoxically visible through the shroud.

Gallade recovers from being staggered first, defiantly facing off against the Legendary pokemon, a hand holding a bracelet on his wrist.  His words are inspiring.

"In times of crisis, humans will always come to this world's aid.  All of you, stand up!  Today, we fight!  And today, we will win!"

Gallade pulls a rainbow colored gem out of his bag, slams it into his bracelet, and is enveloped in a rainbow colored light!  It breaks mere moments later, and standing before them is not just a mere Gallade, but something more.  A flowing cape, a heroic white coloration, two large red arm blades...

He's transformed into Mega Gallade!

VS Shadow Landorus



All negative buffs on Landorus are reset, all positive buffs on the party are reset, and a Sandstorm begins to rage!  Landorus gets -1 Strength, +1 Special, and +1 Dex when he changes form. He is also no longer Intimidating the party, as his ability has changed to ???!  He does not recover any HP!

Gallade gets a huge stat boost from his Rainbow Emera and Mega Evolves!

End of Round effects do not trigger when Landorus changes form!

Life Dew and Lucky Chant have been canceled, as well as Rolycoly's Dex buff and Kogeki's Bulk Up.  Landorus is no longer frozen and his lowered stats have returned to normal.  A Sandstorm is now raging.

Hoopa quickly evaluates the situation, looking up at the black storm and then back to Landorus, then asks the party a question.

"Okay, I think we're out of the mirror world now, and I think we might have also made Landorus angry.  So, time for my special trick?~"
