[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

"Thank you so much! Are you saying the Wailmer around here are huge? The ones we've heard about where I come from are only about 6'. Which I suppose is bigger than the average fishie, but I wouldn't call it a behemoth."


Vernon, who is visibly carrying a Grass type under one arm, agrees to a battle to help the Staryu.

"I find Pokemon - or their trainers - try their hardest when something is 'on the line', so to speak. Shall we say, $1000? And if I win, we have to trade phone numbers and you let me know if you hear anything about Wailmer, and I'm allowed to text you every now and then to ask about Water types."
Vernon will also agree to any lower counteroffer, he's not really in it for the money.


He's also not a jerk. He keeps Grass-type Turtwig tucked under one arm and sends the heavily-booted Munchlax out as his 1v1 Pokemon. Turtwig stays nice and calm throughout the battle, completely zen no matter what crazy things are happening around him. And he knows how to hold on to Vernon with a little side-hug and a piece of sleeve clutched in his beak, so as not to distract Vernon, who tends to run around a lot during battle.

Initiative: 2 Dex + 2 Survival + 2 Alert
Ability: Pickup

Orders

Orders: Munchlax will do 3 Actions. Conditional: He'll dodge the first Confuse Ray he sees.
Dodge: 2 Dex + 3 fight + 0 Evasion
And then he'll perform moves in this order, sacrificing the lowest one in order first for that Dodge.

Fling: Munchlax kicks off his Heavy Duty Boots, like a long distance kick, aiming for a leg in the hopes of spinning Staryu around a bit.
2 Dex + 3 Fight +2 Channel -2 actions = 5d6
Dmg: 1 Base + 4 for this Item + 1 STAB + 3 Insight = 9d6 dmg

Body Slam: Munchlax will take the opportunity of any (flavor) disorientation on the part of Staryu to grab the starfish, slam it to the ground (stopping any spinning or whatnot), and follow up with his not inconsiderable bodyweight.
Upon failure, Munchlax is known to attempt to put Pokemon into his mouth instead of body slamming them.
2 Dex + 3 Fight + 4 Brawl -4 actions = 5d6
Dmg: 3 Base + 1 STAB + 3 Insight = 7d6 dmg, +3 Paralysis dice.

Chip Away: "This is your chance to prove your toughness, Staryu! I've seen Munchlax dismantle bigger fish than you! He just does not stop! All that practice from tearing open logs in search of Honey, you know. I once saw him eat a jawbreaker the size of his head in about thirty seconds, too."
2 Dex + 3 Fight + 4 Brawl -6 actions = 3d6
Dmg: 3 base + 3 Ins + 1 Stab = 7d6 dmg and ignores Defense and Evasion modifiers, including Harden!

Throughout all this, Turtwig just calmly finishes his grass stem and waits for Vernon to get a free moment to hand him another one. (Vernon runs in circles looking for the best angle, like a referee at a wrestling match).

"Might welcome, stranger! Yup, Sea Pokemon 'round here in Sutalor tend to be a bit on the bigger side or have other adapations compared to their kin in other Regions. Wailmors tend to be 'round twice the size of Hoen Wailmers, to give you a means of comparison. Sutalor's seas are some of the most deadly in the world, and that's without counting on the Jellies and their Kingdoms that used to plague the coasts all over - the life living there either bulked up to Survive, changed to find better niches, or just...died out. "


The Fisherman looks a bit surprised at the sudden wager, but gives a hearty laugh and talks you down to $500, stating he isn't in it for the money and not looking for a real serious challenge anway. "Just some good practice for the both of us, right? And sure kid, I'll trade Numbers and keep an ear to the Water about Wailmors, if you're still keen on getting one. Right, let's get to Fighting!

Staryu's Initiative: *6 + (3)
