[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Kogeki return Nami. "Not bad. Now....it's time to show you something."

"Come! Susano'o!" Now it comes the true Metal fish. "Time to rock."

(If you could condense those larger posts with Spoiler tags, that'd be awesome, btw)

Round 2 Initiatives
Aspido: 15
Luxio: 13
Rapidash: 12 (4 Dex)
Susano'o: (3) + 9 = 12 (3 Dex)

Looks like Susano'o is gonna have to contend with potentially taking some electrical damage before he'll get to attack!

[Spiritmon]

"Aspido! Withdraw to increase your defenses! Then use Stone Edge against Rapidash, but hold your lethal damage! Then use Giga Drain and Absorb on Luxio!"

"Susano'o! Iron Defense,then use Hidden Power! Then use Waterfall and finally Aqua Jet against Rapidash!"

All attacks possible will have second effects negated by sheer force.

Kogeki also take something from his clothes: A Kunai. But it was a strange one, with a rainbow stone attached to it.

"Susano'o! Show your Mega Evolution!"

A tornado of water appear around Susano'o, summoning the Mega evolution.

And the picture I let Dragon show.

[Dragonstrike]

Alexis Round 2

Susano'o becomes enveloped in a sphere of rainbow colored light!  The sphere hardens, a crack appears in it...

...and then two giant swords completely cut through and shatter it, and Mega Daikatuna stands tall and proud!

Warning, large image

Here's the source.  This design was apparently potentially going to be the original design for M-Daikatuna.  Of course, it could have changed since then...


In case anyone is wondering, in this game, Mega Daikatuna gets +1 Strength, Defense, and Sp. Defense, and its Ability is Sheer Force.  Daikatunite is also very, very rare.

Aspido curls inwards, hiding in his shell as best as he can.

Withdraw 1
(5)(4)(4)(2)(2)(2)
Aspido's Defense increases by 1!

Luxio tries to cripple that big, scary fish!

Thunder Fang 1
10 - 1 - 2 - 1 = 6
(1)(6)(4)(2)(3)(3)
3* + 2 + STAB - 4* - R + SE = 2 D6
(1)(3) No damage!  Luxio's fangs can't penetrate that steely hide!
F: (3)(4)
P: (1)(5)

Alexis is quite impressed, and also very surprised once more!  Her Luxio can't even touch this Water type?!

Rapidash continues to try and break that crab's shell wide open with raw power!

Bounce 1
10 - 1 - 2 = 7
(1)(3)(6)(5)(6)(6)(6) The horse comes crashing down on its target with incredible speed!  Critical hit!
3 + 4 - 4* + SE - R + 2 Crit = 5 
(6)(2)(5)(2)(5) Aspido takes 3 damage! 9/15 HP -1 Pain
(2)(3)(3)

It's finally Susano'o's turn, and he takes a defensive stance with his swords crossed in front of him!

Iron Defense 1
(2)(4)(2)(2)(3)(2)(6)
+2 Defense for Susano'o!

Aspido hurls some more rocks at that horse in a rage!

Stone Edge 2
9 - 2 - 4 - 1 = 2 D6
(2)(6)
(4)(1)(3) Rapidash takes 2 damage! 5/9 HP -1 Pain

Luxio tries again to dent that fish!

Wild Charge 2
10 - 1 - 4 = 5
(1)(2)(3)(6)(2)
3* + 3 + STAB - 6 + SE - R = 1 D6
(3) The attack just bounces off of Susano'o's crossed swords!

Rapidash is still attacking recklessly!

Fire Blast 2
10 - 3- 1 - 4 = 2
(3)(3) Miss!

Susano'o's turn to attack, and as he raises his arms, they both become wreathed in water!  As he swings his arms, a wave of watery energy washes over all who oppose him!

Hidden Power Water 2
(5)(3)(3)(3)(4)
3 + 4 + STAB + 1 Rain + 2 SF - 4 = 7 D6
(6)(2)(4)(2)(6)(1)(4)
Luxio takes 4 damage! 2/8 HP -2 Pain
Rapidash takes 5 damage and faints!

Luxio has little choice but to try and sabotage this attempt to create an impenetrable tank!

Roar 3
10 - 6 - 2 = 2
(6)(5)
Susano'o is forced out of the battle!  (He retains his Mega state, but he loses the Iron Defense buff and cannot be switched back in until Round 4)

Aspido doesn't like being hurt, so he lays the hurt on Luxio!

Giga Drain 3
9 - 1 - 6 = 2 D6
(3)(1) ...well, he tries to, anyways.  That didn't exactly go as planned...

Luxio didn't declare a fourth action this Round (not wanting to risk a Luck Die herself), so this last one is all Aspido's!

9 - 8 Act - 1 Pain = 0 D6

...except he doesn't have enough dice remaining to pull off an Absorb, so whether he hits it is going to be up to Lady Luck!

Lucky(?) Absorb 4
(2) Bzzzzzzt!  Nope that's a misfire!  Fortunately, this isn't a particularly powerful move.
Unfortunately, his Absorb still hits a target, but it's not one he wanted to hit: he somehow hits the Sitrus Fruits that are growing on the tree on his back.  Aspido cannot benefit from the effects of Harvest for the rest of this encounter.

Alright, who's Kogeki sending out next?  Alexis has her third pokemon ready to go already!  She doesn't have any end of Round comments this time.  Just a serious look on her face as she concentrates on the task at hand and formulates her strategy.  Suddenly, she's not feeling so confident that she can win this easily...

Rain, Reflect, and Light Screen all have 2 Rounds remaining.

[Spiritmon]

"Come! Gama-no-senin!"

[Dragonstrike]

Alexis sends out a...



HOLY SHINX!!!  THAT'S A GYARADOS!!!

"I usually only carry three pokemon at a time.  Let me tell you, it was hell to evolve this bad girl because of that, even with my Experience Share."

Initiatives:
Gyarados: (6) + 9 = 15
Aspido: 15
Gama: (5) + 9 = 14
Luxio: 13

Welp, this battle is shaping up to be a lot more interesting now, isn't it?

Kogeki see such creature before him...and he not even flinch. "Hmm, not bad. Gyarados is indeed one of the most fear Pokemon in the world. Not to mention I a bit in disadvantage here. At least I can use my whole team."

"We have to deal with this creature as much quick possible. Gama! Finish off that Luxio with Gunk Shot! Then go with Ice Punch and Nigh Slash against Gyarados!"

"Aspido! You have less HP! Use Giga Drain and Absorb against Gyarados! And as last action summon Sandstorm! Show them why you are the master of weather change!"

[Dragonstrike]

Alexis Round 3

Gyarados's Intimidate decreases all of Kogeki's pokemon's Strength by 1!

Alexis knows that Aspido is Grass/Ground type now, and gives Gyarados orders accordingly!

Ice Fang 1
11 - 1 - 2 = 8
(5)(4)(4)(1)(3)(5)(6)(6) A Gyarados's massive teeth pierce all, even giant crabs and protective barriers (Ignores Screens and adds Crit dice after Defense is applied).  Crit.
4 + 2 - 4* + 2 Crit + QE = 4 D6 + 2
(5)(1)(1)(1) Fortunately, the frosty maw doesn't hurt as much as Aspido expected.  Aspido takes 2 damage. 7/15 HP -2 Pain
Fl: (5)(4)
Fr: (1)(5)

Aspido gets right down to business, desperately trying to stay healthy!

Giga Drain 1
(6)(1)(1)(3)(2) Lady Luck is being fickle tonight, it seems...

Gama's favorite ninja technique: hidden Poison pummel!

Gunk Shot 1
9 - 2 - 2 = 5
(6)(4)(5)(2)(1) Gama became Poison type!
5 + 2* + STAB - 4 = 4 D6
(6)(1)(5)(4) Luxio takes 3 damage and faints!  Only Gyarados remains!
(-)(-)(-) 
(-) Poison and Flinch chances don't matter in this case.

Gyarados is looking to use that Rain against Kogeki now!

Aqua Tail 2
11 - 1 - 4 = 6
(6)(6)(4)(6)(2)(4) Feel the mighty sea serpent's aquatic wrath.  Crit.
4 + 3 + STAB + 1 Rain - 4* + 2 Crit = 7 D6
(6)(6)(3)(6)(4)(2)(5) Aspido takes 5 damage! 2/15 HP -2 Pain
(2)(2)(2) I'm still not sure I entirely approve of this buff that Pokerole gave to Aqua Tail, but I'll let it stay.  It's fun at least, right?

Aspido REALLY doesn't want to faint.

Absorb 2
(5)(2)(1)
1 + 3 - 4 = 1
(4) Gyarados takes 1 damage. 24/25 HP
Aspido recovers 1 HP! 3/15 HP -2 Pain

Ice Punch 2
(6)(2)(4)(3)(5) Gama became Ice type!
3 + 2* + STAB - 4 = 2 D6
(3)(3) No damage
(4) 
(3) No Freeze or Flinch, either.  Gyarados laughs at puny Physical moves.

And it can use more than just Physical moves, too!

Hurricane 3
11 - 6 - 3 (nullified by Rain) = 5
(6)(5)(3)(6)(6) Phew, not a crit this time.  Aspido still isn't gonna like this, though.
4 + 5 + STAB - 3 + SE - LS = 7 D6
(6)(5)(5)(2)(5)(1)(4) Aspido takes 5 damage and faints!  No Sandstorm today, apparently!
(-)(-)(-) Confusion chance doesn't matter right now.

The large enemy pokemon taken care of, Gyarados turns her attention to the smaller foe she needs to squish.

...though the next thing she knows, said foe is suddenly behind her!

Night Slash 3
(4)(4)(6) Impressive, but not enough dice to crit, unfortunately.  Gama became Dark type!
(5)(3) Gyarados takes 1 damage 23/25 HP -1 Pain
(2) Still no Flinch.

THAT still catches Gyarados's attention, however, as this puny little frog actually managed to SCRATCH her with a Physical attack!  RAAAAAWWWWRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!  NOW SHE'S ANGRY!!!!!


As evidenced by the ginormous laser that she's now firing from her maw!

Hyper Beam 4
11 - 1 - 8 - 1 = 1
(6) *insert iconic sound effect here*
4 + 6 - 3 - LS = 7 D6 - 1
(6)(5)(3)(5)(4)(1)(4) Gama takes 4 damage! 4/8 HP -2 Pain

Gyarados is breathing heavily after launching such a powerful attack, but by the end of the Round, she's fine!

Recharge 5

She won't be pulling that trick with her fifth action again, though, as she's too pained to even (safely) declare a fifth action in the first place now.

Alexis is smirking.  The number of foes she's seen fall to her mighty Gyarados are too numerous to count.

1 Round of Light Screen, Reflect, and Rain left.

Who's Gyarados's next victim(s), Kogeki?

Who's Gyarados's next victim(s), Kogeki?

While Kogeki return Aspido back to the Pokeball, he ponder his next move. "Hmm...2 of my Pokemon is down...and is has half of his HP. Not the most helpful situation but I have no choice but keep fighting." He also see the defenses begin to crumble. "Not to mention Reflect and Light Screen will cease next turn."

Kogeki then grab two Pokeballs. "Gama, you already did a amazing job in beat Luxio and hurt Gyarados. For now return."

Then Kogeki send his two Pokemon: Susano'o and Izanagi. "Sending a Fire type against a gigantic Water type seems crazy. But against such dangerous for, I have no choice but to gamble this move! It's all or nothing Alexis! I show the power of the Nami Clan!"

[Dragonstrike]

"Nami clan?  I have noooooo idea what that means, but whatever.  Get 'em, Gyarados!  Mwahahaha!"

Round 4 Initiatives
Gyarados: 15
Susano'o: (5) + 9 = 14
Nagi: (3) + 9 = 12

Dumb snake. As Officer Jenny eventually arrives though, Kee switches his attention to her, packs away the headphones and performs a semi-playful salute to her. "Be greeted, officier!~ Your arrival shall end this pathetic situation for good!!" He also proceeds to scratch and stroke Octavia all to calm her down, as at the sight of that Houndoom!! she cuddled up closer into her caretaker's shoulder, lowered her ears and protectively held her ribbons in front of her; as in contrary to poison, she has nothing to efficiently defend herself from fire. They'll just burn up her scattered fairy dust in the blink of an eye.

"Uh, for what's going on....." He just shrugs pretty indifferently. "I was thinking nothin' bad was enjoyin' a drink in that bar *points to it* when THIS guy *nods towards the Roughneck* held me for an easy target to mess with. I WASN'T causing any trouble, I just came to this town a few hours ago. Forced me into a Pokemon Fight as I wasn't responding to him the way he wanted me to. Must have underestimated my skill though because in the end, I showed him that I don't like being messed with. Bartender knows more... They called you. Not me."

In the meantime, Core has made it to walk up to his Master, and he immediately noticed that his musical dino isn't as lax and carefree like he usually was, he even whined a bit and, even MORE unusual, has lowered his music's volume. Kee does not hesitate and comes down to be on eye-level with him. "Come on, show me that arm of yours where that snake.... Ugh." He flinches at the sight of that nasty wound and picks his Paraudio up to carry 'em in his arms. "Oh, AND that guy let loose his disobediant Arbok at me and my own Pokemon - If I wouldn't have the means to defend myself, they could have been killed. Or that cobra could have attacked me." He shakes his head at SUCH a horrible imagination. "You've...maybe got something to patch up these bad wounds (cure the lethal damage), officer? The Pokemon's Center a few hundred meters away from here and I'm, well, not the fastest person."

Officer Jenny and her Houndoom glare at the Roughneck.  "Is this true?"

Roughneck Jeremy just sputters some incomprehensible excuse.

"Houndoom, watch him."

*Ruff!*  Houndoom walks over to the Roughneck and continues to glare at him, snarling and looking extra menacing if he thinks the Roughneck is about to try anything funny.

Officer Jenny, meanwhile, has walked over to Core and Kee.  "Let me see you're pokemon real quick."

Assuming Kee does, the officer kneels down and carefully examines the bite wound and takes notes and pictures for evidence, then attempts to Stabilize it.

*rolls*

She wraps Core's arm up real tight after disinfecting the wound.  "I'm not a doctor, and I need to save most of my medical supplies for larger emergencies, but that should hold until you reach the Pokemon Center at least.  Nurse Joy should be able to handle the rest.  I recommend you head to the Center ASAP once I'm done taking statements.  If you don't mind, I'd like you to come inside while I talk with the barkeep, just in case there are any more questions I need you to answer."  Core's Lethal Damage is Stabilized.

Officer Jenny stands back up and turns to face the Roughneck.  "You're coming with me, sir.  Houndoom, continue to keep an eye on him.  Let's go talk with the barkeep."

*Ruff!*

The barkeep doesn't have much more to add to the situation when Officer Jenny talks with him, other than reaffirming that this isn't the first time that Jeremy has caused a public disturbance.  After gathering the evidence, Officer Jenny thanks Kee and the barkeep, and she and Houndoom haul Roughneck Jeremy away to whatever cell he's going to be sitting in for the next day or two while he awaits charges.

Kee gets 6 experience, and Core, Octavia, and Mercury all get 4.  The barkeep gives Kee $2000 and a free round of drinks as compensation for the trouble.
