[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

"Well, if we're just gonna melt things," Karen uses her portable PC to swap Lotus for Rapidash, "Go, Rapidash!" in a burst of sparkles, the grey-flamed horse appears! If melting some of the ice with a few well-placed Flame Charges/Embers doesn't work, Karen'll use/offer to have Rapidash help 'ferry' the group to the other staircase using Quick Attack and/or Flame Charge to speed up the process

If Rapidash/Nami/Brigid and clear a path and keep it cleared through the ice field, Ran would be willing to forgo his Flight to just follow along with them, as that's less risky than said Flight, though he wouldn't be directly helping them with said melting process (again, don't want to piss off Catherine, so he'll leave Brigid to someone else' command and tell them all her Fire Moves [Heat Wave, Ember, Fire Spin, INFERNO]). In the case of just being escorted on horseback, though, Ran would stick to his original plan, as he's leery about not only riding on a Rapidash (a species known to burn people on contact if they don't trust/like them), but he doesn't really trust that their hooves would have enough traction on the ice to prevent them from slipping themselves without them being superheated (Which posses its own risks).

Oh, and Brigid also knows Rock Slide, so she could also use that to create rumble across the ice field that would be easier for Rapidash to walk/run across, if need be. That too!

Kogeki offer some help to everyone. "Before we proceed, I might have a suggestion. Izanami! Come out!" Then came Izanami, the magestic ghost bird Pokemon who wave her beautiful feather when summoned. "People, meet one of my fellow ghosts: Izanami-no-Okami. Or just Nami if you want. She know Telekinesis, so she might able to levitate some of us in this bridge enough to go though the other side. I can return her when we are safe in the other side. What you everyone think?"

It only needs a short look from Kee at that big and ethereal Dramsama before he'd face their owner directly with an expression pretty similar to that one when the Temple made fun of him when throwing a Protein right into his face with utmost glee. Aka, an expression that vividly says 'You're kidding and your're not really serious about that suggestion, are you?' Octavia also hisses at that big spectral bird and waves her ribbons fiercely, shedding sparkling scales and fairy dust all over Kee's cloak. Now he has a find red cloak that even sparkles from several angles. ｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆

"Listen up, for how long do I know you, Kogeki?" Kee gives him a chance to reply just for the sake of it. "For roughly a day, that's right. That is NOT enough for me to trust you and one of your Pokemon using a move on me, especially not if you're a ninja and said Pokemon is a Dramsama known for trickery and mischief. None can guarantee that your bird won't decide that it's having enough and drop me or anyonelse mid-air, at worst they'll do so ON PURPOSE even. So, thank you, but no thank you. (ಠ_ಠ)" He and Octavia turn away.

As for what he himself would do, he'd let Juhani and Draven suck some energy from that ice with their various lifestealing attacks to weaken it/at best create a path of cracks within it, then summon Core, pick the musical dino up and let him melt said path with his pyrotechnics (Flamethrower), big enough to walk on it comfortably. He'd normally then use that path to cross that with a helping hand lend by his dear faeeveelution, but since it's freakin' cold down here, he'd accept Karen's offer to cross that path on the back of her beautiful and shiny Rapidash. "That sparkling 'n fierly unicorn of yours...." He's asking her while mustering that Rapidash, "...how obediant are they; or to word it differently, how high are the chances that they'll mock up and unseat us? Usually Rapidash only allow those it trusts and likes to mount it." More starring at that Rapidash.

Catherine won't be offended if Randolph helps melt this floor's ice.

Nami gets very huffy and stuck up when Kee and Randolph clearly don't want to put any faith in her, period.  If they aren't going to be polite, then she won't be, either.

Rapidash doesn't even fully trust Karen yet, so riding that horse across the ice is definitely a no-go.  Rapidash is definitely willing to use Flame Charge without any complaint to try and help melt this ice, though.  It is one of her favorite moves, after all.

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

It sounds like we're going to be going with a 'melt the ice' plan, so let's get started!  The complication for this plan is that it is FREEZING down here.  Melting the ice will only be effective for so long before the water freezes over again.  The water would be a little less slick than the ice initially, but ice that has refrozen is even slicker than it was originally, as well as harder to melt.

There's also a LOT of ice, so it's going to take a few uses of fire moves to both clear a path and make it safe.  There are patches of dry ground among the ice that everyone can make their way towards, though.

Draining moves from Draven and Juhani don't seem to make melting this ice any easier and appear to be entirely ineffective, unfortunately.  There isn't any natural energy in it that they can drain since it isn't a living thing.

Using a whole bunch of Fire moves all at once does have an effect, though!

Hidden Power Fire
(6)(4)(1)(3)(3)(3)(3)(6)(3)(1)(2) 2 successes.  It doesn't melt very much ice because it's just THAT cold, but...

...the room suddenly got a lot brighter?!  Why does it seem like the room is currently being lit by bright sunlight when you're so far underground?

Currently unanswered questions aside, that'll make the checks for the next few Fire moves easier.

Flame Charge
(6)(1)(6)(3)(1)(4)(1)(5)(3)(5)(2)(3) 4 successes.  Rapidash blazes a trail to a patch of dry ground in the middle of the ice, making it halfway across.
+1 Dex for Rapidash

Flamethrower
(2)(4)(1)(4)(2)(5)(5)(3)(2)(2)(1)(2) 3 successes.
Burn 2: (4) Nope.
Core sweeps his Flamethrower across the trail that Rapidash blazed, preventing it from refreezing before the group can cross it.

Inferno
(4)(3)(5)(3) 2 successes, plus a guaranteed Burn 3 makes it an effective 5 successes.  Brigid widens the area of dry ground in the middle with ease, making it safe for all 4 trainers to stand there.

And thus, everyone gets halfway across the icy floor without much trouble!  The water left in the wake of the Fire types' attacks begins to refreeze soon after everyone makes it to the halfway point.

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

...as soon as everyone gets to the middle, though, the ice covered rocks, both smooth and spiky, being to shudder and shake as if they were alive.  They stand up, uncurl...

...and everyone soon finds their now medium sized patch of dry ground in the middle of the ice is surrounded by a large horde of Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash.

And the snowshrews definitely don't look like they want to parley.  One of the Alolan Sandslash points its claws at the intruders, and the whole swarm gets ready to pounce on them.

 

In total, there are 4 Alolan Sandslash and 12 Alolan Sandshrew, each gathered in groups of 1 A-Sandslash and 3 A-Sandshrew.  Male-Female ratio is 50-50 for all 4 groups.

For this battle, an Icy Terrain will be in effect.  All grounded pokemon that are not Ice type receive a -1 Dex penalty due to how slippery the ice is.  Ice type moves used by grounded pokemon will also gain +1 damage die.  The current weather is Sunny for the first 3 Rounds of combat thanks to Nagi's HP-Fire.

Ran gives the chromatic specter a flat, unimpressed, and dispassionate stare when she starts acting up because of his decision, the corners of his lips turning downwards ever so slightly as he shook his head.

"....You're not helping your case any by throwing an overblown temper tantrum, Nami. At all. You're not one of my partners, I don't know anything about ya in the slightest, and we got no history together, so I have zero reason to give ya any trust, respect, or faith beyond basic common courtesy and manners. And right now, you're giving me ample justification to offer ya less faith in you. We'll jolly cooperate with ya when we're ready to, and when that happens depends on you. If you don't like the way we're treating ya or what I've said, tough birdseed, misses. Deal with itlike you have some dignity, and not like the spoiled, entitled brat."

Yewowzers! That's a-spicy rebuttal! Oh dear....this won't end well for Ran....

-----

(My Party Comp for this Fight is Diam, Beethoven, Stymph, Brigid, Puck, and Mystery Mon #2, as Beethoven and Puck would have been switched in prior to the sudden change in Ran's plans)

The dwarven craftsman gives the collective of icy moles the nastiest, most merciless looks imaginable once they revealed themselves and made their intent known, hist posture suddenly charge with intense agitation and scorn.

"So you unruly lot want to screw around with our lives, eh?"

He rips off Beethoven's Pokeball and summons them with a snap of his hand, and motions him and Brigid forward, clenching a fist at the Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash as he did so.

"Then I'll see ya all screaming and burning in hell first, you damn snow rats."

(Beethoven and Brigid are his choices for this battle! Brigid is holding a Fire Gem currently, and Beethoven his Silk Scarf! Also, due to Brigid's White Smoke, external negative debuffs won't work on her, so Icy Terrain is technically ineffective against her!)

Ran gives the chromatic specter a flat, unimpressed, and dispassionate stare when she starts acting up because of his decision, the corners of his lips turning downwards ever so slightly as he shook his head.

"....You're not helping your case any by throwing an overblown temper tantrum, Nami. At all.

Yewowzers! That's a-spicy rebuttal! Oh dear....this won't end well for Ran....

Nami ignores the tiny man entirely.

Nami ignores the tiny man entirely.

"Going to stick being that way, huh? Bah, fine! Be that way! Continue acting like an foolish idiot that get nowhere and be nothing but a problem. See if I care. Pretty apparent you don't care about anything but yourself, so why should I? Otherwise, you wouldn't appear like such a damn embarrassment for Kogeki. *Shakes head dismissively* He deserves better from ya, not your worst, and you're giving him only that now."

Keep digging yourself deeper, Ran. You'll eventually hit rock-bottom....or boiling magma.

Nami gets very huffy and stuck up when Kee and Randolph clearly don't want to put any faith in her, period.  If they aren't going to be polite, then she won't be, either.

Fufu, that's nothing Kee cares for, as he has his own reasons for not trusting that bird. Reasons that make sense TO HIM, if they mean nothing for that Dramsama with their different mindset, so be it then, let them be huffy and stuck up if they like. He only gives her a short glance from the side when they express their displeasure, but Octavia, bless that bold and protective Sylveon, hisses at that bird once more just in case they didn't get the message of 'Stay away from him unless you're willing to take on me' the first time.

Unlike Ran however, Kee's smart enough to not anger Dramsama further as he's aware of their vengeful and sinister nature. Makes him wonder whether Kogeki's exemplar is obediant at all, they better are. Oh, and to prevent Ran from figuratively and literally digging his own grave by messing with that Dramsama further, Kee would give Ran a handsign that he shall better not press further, at worst he'll let Octavia pull Ran away from the presence of that spectral bird.



Ah, the delight of having successfully crossed that icy field did not last for long, but much to his own luck he's already having his musical dino out and about. He's just lazing around there in Kee's arms in between spitting flames, not even reacting much as all the Sandshrew and Sandslah reveal themselves; in contrary even, he just yawns. "No, ya can't sleep now. Come on, I'm in need for your powers a little longer, we'll deal with 'em fast and THEN you can go back to leisure." All of that is spoken in a normal tone of voice, faintly encouraging even, but not in the slightest annoyed - he's used to that lax attitude of his Paraudio. Kee knows that's Core's capable.

Very well then - all alone he'll be in trouble though, so accompanying him in this case is his beautiful soloist of the sea, his Primarina comes out of her Dive Ball in a graceful way and lands on the field with finesse. She takes one look at the foes she's asked to face, then melodically chuckles to herself with an expression of 'Oh stop it you!~' - so many attendants for her show! <3 "That's right Aya, showtime with YOU as the lead."

Gama, at Kogeki's instruction, hid near one of the metal rocks and used Camouflage (which turned him into a Steel type) to hide, just in case anything happened.

And sure enough, something did.  Let's see if he can sneak up on some of these Alolan Sandshrew and make this fight a little easier for someone.

Stealth: 9 D6 with the Icy Terrain Dex penalty 
(6)(5)(6)(3)(5)(2)(1)(5)(4) 6 successes.  That's good, but can the snowshrews match it?
Alert x3 (since Gama is only trying to preemptively attack one of the groups): Each of them has 8 D6 in their Alert pool.
(3)(2)(1)(5)(6)(6)(3)(4) 4 successes
(3)(4)(5)(3)(6)(6)(2)(4) 5 successes
(1)(3)(2)(4)(5)(1)(4)(5) 3 successes

Gama sneaks up on Group D's Alolan Sandshrew, drawing his shadowy kunai in preparation for his Hidden Power as he does so.  And then before they notice he's there...

*slash!*

*slash!*

*slash!*

Spoiler

...he's dashed past and through the lot of them, leaving deep scratches in their armor with the shadowy kunai as he slips past their guards!

Hidden Power Dark Ambush
The Stealth Check was a 100% success, so the attack gets a power boost for this encounter!  And it crit, too!  Gama became Dark type!
3 Str + 3* Pow + STAB - 3 Def + 2 Crit = 6 D6
(6)(3)(1)(6)(2)(1) Group D A-Sandshrew all take 1 damage. 6/7 HP
(5) (6) (5) One of the A-Sandshrew Flinches!

Which pokemon is Kogeki sending out alongside Gama?  Or is Gama fighting solo?

Everyone could hear a huge *CLANG!* of metal hitting the ground. "Thats enough Izanami." Said Kogeki with a voice more loud towards his majestic ghost. He hit the point of his sword to the ground, making his sword stick in the ground a bit. "No one is forced to like any other, but at least have some respect and dignity Izanami. Like you or not, they are our companions, so keep your bad behavior out Izanami. Despite I disagree a bit with Rans and Kee, they do have a point. Your species does have a bad historic, so dont judge or damn them Izanami. If you are frustrated about it, then prove you nor that way. But I will NOT accept such bad behavior, or vengeance coming from one of my partneers."

"....Return to the Pokeball for now Izanami, and think what I said." When Kogeki return Dramsama back to her Pokeball, he said with a tired voice toward Randolph. "Sigh Sorry about this. Nami is always to much proud of herself. Its a characterisc of her species. Dramsama have tendecy to be leane towards vanity and proud, and they are more solo Pokemon. They can create illusions and have some bad behavior due to their ghost typing...and a plus to have the over proud of psychic types. The best and worst of both words. Sigh Raise a Antarki is already difficulty enough. And the worse is Antarki and Dramsamas are natural enemies, so both of them in the same battlefield is the recipe for disaster sometimes."

Kogeki then see towards Kee. "You do have a point of distrust me or Nami, but I owe you not apology. The only thing you been doing towards me is act hostile. If I were you, I would be careful in how you treat others. Even more towards a ninja. Because..." Then Kogeki take out the sword from the ground and go in the direction of the bridge ready to summon Nagi. "...You could wake in the next morning with a Kunai close to your neck."

With the excelent stealth attack of Gama, Kogeki was ready for his next action. He grab the Pokeball in his belt and summon his trustful companion Susano'o. "Finally! A good opportunity to use your most powerfull moves old friend." Gama and Susano'o is my choices of Pokemon.

Kogeki could see the malice eyes of those Snow enemies. "Guess they gonna attack us too. Damn it."

"Gama! Bubble, Hidden Power Dark and Night Slash against the most weakned foe!"

"Susano'o! Hidden Power Water! Then go with Iron Head and Water Jet in the most weakned foe!"

If any of them get too much hurt, potion in the double. If any of those enemies try to attack Kogeki himself, I drawn my sword and attack them.

It didn't take long for Randolph to come up with a simple but effective plan to deal with the gelid varments that dared tried to threaten him and his partner's lives, the command coming out of him in a terrible, wrathful surge as he continued to caustically stare at them.

"Beethoven, take Cover behind Brigid, and let all these Sandshrews hear ya ROAR! Brigid, full force offense with Shell Smash, Heat Wave and Rock Slide! Destroy these pest, and teach them NEVER to mess with us again!"

The singing canary briefly looked surprised at the Orders he was given, as there was a WHOLE lot of friendlies around that would also bear the brute of his performance....

Never the less, he regained his composure and let out affirmative "Yes sir!"  after taking a quick glance at his partner that told him they were dead seriously set about that, giving the a remarkable mid-air wing salute before gliding behind Brigid and prepared to give everyone a real treat for the ears. Oh dears.....hopefully they'll forgive him and his buddy for this!

The smoking hot tortoise had a more subdued reaction to her partner's vitriolic command, looking back at them with faint concern and worry for their shake, until she gave them a firm nod and refocused her attention on the group of snow moles gearing up against her. She didn't like it at all when Ran got in that sort of mood, but she understood why he was acting so angry, and accepted it heavy compassion. They had a good reason to hate Pokemon that attacked humans, after all. 

One day, though....she hoped that he'd fully let go of his hatred, and finally start to heal. One day....

Orders: One extra loud BOOMBURST from Beethoven, followed up by a less vocal but still potent Hyper Voice on Group A, while Brigid will Smash her Smash and let loose a piping Heat Wave and brutal Rock Slide on Group A too. Beethoven will be hiding directly behind and slightly under Brigid for Cover/warmth. If Group A falls after Heat Wave, then transfer Rock Slide on the the Group of Sandshrew most hurt by that point, and she'll get a Potion if she lost 4 HP at any point in the battle. Yes, I know BOOMBURST is AoE, but if the Damage Roll is high enough, it could cripple all the A-Sandshrews/slashes, or outright Faint them, ending the Encounter in one fell swoop. I nor Ran ain't changing our Orders on this, so that is that.

Since BOOMBURST will go first before anything else (Bar Ice Shards from the Snowy Sands), could potentially end the Encounter before it even starts, and will have a big impact on the others, could it be possible to Roll it out ASAP so as to see its results and give everyone a chance to react to it, Dragonstrike?

If I were you, I would be careful in how you treat others. Even more towards a ninja. Because..." Then Kogeki take out the sword from the ground and go in the direction of the bridge ready to summon Nagi. "...You could wake in the next morning with a Kunai close to your neck." (...)

Oh, Kee's not impressed or intimidated by that, by far not if that was the hidden intention. "Now you're overexagerrating though, Kogeki, if you see my behaviour to you as 'acting hostile'." Octavia gives the ninja a careful and pleading glance that directly says 'You don't want to see my dearest owner mad or riled up, there's a reason why I am usually out and by his side.... {{ (>_<) }} ' "And you could wake up with an arm featuring an AI that does what it wants aka what I want when I program it, or with sparkling blue ribbons slug around your neck, ready to squeeze the life out with joy like a Seviper that has pinched down a defenseless Zangoose."


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

Well, onwards then across the icy path. Or not because the Temple decided to throw some icy Pokemon onto them all, and somewhat rare ones even! Oh yes, Kee has seen several Alola Sandshrew already during trips to the mountains with his gandparents. Lovely times those were. ...Now is not the time to become sentimal though, as these snowy Sandshrew and their Boss are coming closer and are very willing to take on what they must take as intruders and unwanted guests, this must be THEIR terrain. Or, their floor at best.

He was just preparing some eagerly voiced orders to his chosen ones against these foes, when a bird sang to him that Ran's ordering his own Chatot to bring up the LOUDEST of all moves against them. "How nice (not)-" He thinks to himself, "- either he's very daring and knows what he does, or he does not and simply isn't aware how BLASTING a well-made Boomburst is. (ಠ_ಠ)" Eh, Kee just hopes for the former. Just in case though, once having given orders, he puts on headphones and turns up the volume as much as possible in the hope to out-tune that assault to a degree. He's used to loud music - but whether this helps him when being caught in a STAB-Boomburst, is GM's discretion.

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

The orders for his own Pokemon are simple and straightforward - blatant firepower and ranting over this situation from Core! He obviously does not enjoy to be disturbed by some mean regional variants. Or by any foe, actually.

Accuracy Roll Core's Flamethrower 1 on Sandslash of Group B: 2*Dext + 4 Fight + 3 Channel - 2 Actions =  7d6
Damage Roll: 4 Special + 3 power of the move + Sunny Weather = 8d6 +2 autodamage due to double-SE
Additional notes: Has 1CD to inflict a Burn2.

Accuracy Roll Core's Snarl 2 on Group B: 2*Dext + 4 Fight + 3 Channel - 1 Inaccuracy - 4 Actions = 4d6
Damage Roll: 4 Special + 2 power of the move + held BlackGlasses + 1 Soundboost Ability = 8d6
Additional notes: Hits the whole group and reduces their Special by 1 each.

Aya on the other hand, being the proud and beautiful performer as she is, isn't happy at all to share the stage with that any other Pokemon. She makes sure to give a short snarl at them all to express her displeasure, and throws a semi-insulted glaze over to Kee who returns that one with a sly smile however. "Nono, don't be down and mad right away, dear. In fact, here is your chance to shine, do what you can do best!~~ Yes, that means you can use that move of yours."

Oh that certainly lights up her mood, causing Aya to clear her throat, adjust her beautiful scarf, rise up and throw her arms open wide all to indeed do what she can do best: SING AT FULL VOLUME WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS, even aiming to drown out that Boomburst!!! Fooooool, does that small parrot does not get that SHE is the star?! Well, she'll SHOW 'em then!! (>0<)



Accuracy Roll Aya's Single Action Clash of Boomburst with Sparkling Aria: 4 Special + 4 Fight + 1 Clash + 2 Singe Action Bonus = 11d6
Damage Roll: Needed? It'd be 9d6 -1 autodamage due to Sunny Weather. Torrent Ability could add more.
Additional notes: Hits everyone and everything, but those who are burnt are healed instead of being drowned.

The corebook itself does not list Sparkling Aria as a soundbased-move, but Bulbapedia does as seen here - this Clash should work all fine then.



The moment any of the Alola-Sandshrew suffers -2 Pain, one Pokeball will also be tossed at it: 3 Dext + 4 Fight + yet 0 Throw = 7d6 for that roll. If that Pokeball breaks, use another one, as soon as 2 Pokeballs are broken this capture attempt will be scrapped.

Kogeki and his companions had little time to prepare themselves for such strong coming from their said companions. First he see a huge sound explosion happening, hitting his clothes and and face with such strong attack. Then he was hit by a pressure of water who hit him also badly. The surprise attack was enough to destroy a portion of his mask. By instinct he hide his face with the piece of his black clothes.

When Gama finish off the foes, Kogeki has some drops of blood of his body. It was a powerful attack, and his clothes was not built to resist such amount of damage.

Gama and Susano'o was not in better state. They are badly injured. Kogeki try to stand up. "A warning next time would be great. We get really serious injured." Said Kogeki hiding his face as best his can. He would prefer death to let anyone see his face. "But can't argue with the results. Should have used Surf to complete the show I guess."

Gama and Susano'o didn't let anyone get closer to Kogeki and them. They know how their master is sensitive about his face so they gonna defend it.

Ran is equally displeased with both his partner's not really subtly hostile behavior towards each other, stomping right between the two and spreading his arms wide and  palms outward in a display that clearly communicated the notion for them to cut that shit out, looking at Kogeki and Kee like they were being idiots.

"Enough! If you guys want to mangle each other's throats, do it off and AFTER our investigation and job is over! Until then,EVERYONE needs  towork together without threatening to kill each other, or we won't survive whatever madness is crapping out of Mt. Coronet and fertilizing a blood damn budding worldwide disaster! Even if you don't hold a troy ounce of affection or trust with each other, grit your teeth like an Ursaring and bear with it, so we can all get our work DONE safely and effectively as we can arse it! Understand?"

(...)

Aya's debut on the icy stage caught both Ran's and Beethoven's attention, but for different reasons. The bristly blacksmith, his temper still foul and steaming mad at the snowy moles, gave the colourful musician a somewhat confused/cross look, as sending a Fairy type against a pack of ornery seemed like asinine idea to him. Then he heard their Orders and saw the fanciful looking sea otter gear up for a bombastic Performance of her own, and put two and two together, shocking him out of his anger and making him realize that maybe he jumped the gun with his own commands.

"Oh Scheiße Kekse. Ich glaube, ich habe es hier versaut....."

Best buddy, meanwhile, took Aya's appearance with mild and a friendly sort of curiosity, until she made it known to him that not only was she a fellow singer like, but she meant to challenge him in a Shouting Contest. That change his tune completely, the prospect of such a competition thrilling him, sending his wings fluttering in cheerful excitement, and emboldening his own musical spirit to new height! Oh joy, oh sweet joy, wasn't this a wonderful surprise for him! Now he would really give it his all then with his own BOOMING SONG, for it wouldn't do to disappoint the Fairy lady with a lackluster Perfomance, no no! 

In fact, he had just the song for this, hearing it once from some Punk that was blaring it at a dinner in Jubalife once (before Ran thrashed them in a battle)! How did it go again.....oh, like this: 

For too long, the human race has ignored the signs

Your planet is nearing destruction

Salvation is reserved for those who pass the test

If you survive, an elevated existence awaits



Initiate Phase 1


Power up the bass cannon




FIRE

And then, for a brief instance, there was nothing but pure noise.

(...)

"Ja ... das war eine schlechte Idee. Zumindest hat es aber geklappt. Auuugh....."
Translation: Yeah....that was a bad idea. At least it worked, though. Auuugh.....
Ran staggered in place for a moment, sore and disoriented from the sheer volume of the combine vocal assault of his living recorder and the aquatic actor, until he managed to shake it off and managed to use a Potion on him (cursing when it nearly fell from his shaky grasp), fully restoring his health!

"Pwaaah.....that's much better...."

Mental and physical faculties fully restored, he took that moment to look around at his group, and winced when he saw the harmful havoc he helped cause.

"Omph.....looks like I wasn't the only one that suffered a doozy from that.....singing contest."

*Sighs, and facepalms* 

"Sorry about that, everyone. Here, let me fix y'all up. Least I can do, seeing as I was partially responsible for giving your eardrum a thorough blasting...."

Randolph proceeds to give Kogeki, Karen, and Kee a Super Potion to fully restore their HP (Running out of them in the process), and hands out 1 Potion for each Pokemon (Leaving him with 12). He also Revives Brigid and gives her a Potion, fully restoring her HP, and returning Beethoven to his ball and then to the PC, replacing them with Catherine, though not before congratulating him for his outstanding Performance.

"Ya did good, buddy. Ya did good. Thank you for saving our bacon. Take a nice, long breather, and don't worry about suffering the cold here anymore."

He also apologized to his coal muncher, rubbing the back of his head as he did so.

"Forgive for getting ya clocked clean, girl. Wasn't really thinking straight, when I Ordered Beethoven to use Boomburst, or expect Kee to pull out his pretty looking otter to create a right racket together. Think ya can still handle clearing the Ice here, and keeping us safe?" (IE: More INFERNOS from her)

As for the A-Snowshrew, Ran would want to catch 1 of the Sandslashes and 3 of those Sandshrews (Essentially 1/4 of the horde), first asking if anyone could Paralyze them (all the Sands) first to make it easier to ball them. Each Sandshrew/slash will get two Pokeballs each to catch them, or 2 Great Balls for the Sandslash if they manage to break out of the first Pokeball. He may or may not capture more, though, depending on if anyone else will leave any uncaught. (Any Items on the Sands, btw Dragonstrike?)

Candince would get sent out on the ice to check for any clues/loot/suspicious stuff, and is asked to come back to Ran ASAP if she does (or if danger comes her way).

Kogeki's......reaction about his mask earned him not a small amount of concern and interest from Ran, which only grew as he saw his aquatic samuri/ninja close ranks around him to shield him from scrutiny. He didn't try to approach them, though, as he would respect any man's desire for privacy, but he did call out to them.

".....You going to be okay, Kogeki? If you'll let me, I can probably fix up that mask of yours in a jiffy. Promise I won't look at ya face, too. Can also make ya a Steel or Aluminum Mask later, so you have a mask that you won't worry about breaking again. How's all that sound?"

(1)(1)(6)(4)(5)(2)(6)(3)(4) (I'll be nice and say Beethoven doesn't spend the Will Point)
Sparkling Aria Clash 1: (6)(5)(5)(5)(2)(6)(4)(3)(1)(5)(3) 7 successes, which successfully Clashes with Boomburst and cancels out the potential crit.  The sheer amount of bubbles that Aya's performance creates dampens the sound of both her attack and Beethoven's.  This also means that both moves hit everyone simultaneously, though, enemy and ally alike!

Boomburst damage
13 - 6 Pow = 7 base
3 D6 against Randolph (- 4 Sp Def)
5 D6 against Brigid and the snowshrews (- 2 Sp Def)

Karen takes 2 damage! 2/8 HP -2 Pain

Core takes 2 damage! 1/7 HP -3 Pain
Kee takes 2 damage! 2/8 HP -2 Pain

Suddenly all by themselves and reeling from the burst of Sound, the Alolan Sandslash start to back up and regroup!  They keep attacking as they start to retreat, though!

Icicle Crash D 1
9 - 2 - 1 - 2 = 4 D6
(3)(2)(2)(1) Miss!

Now that there's fewer enemies, and they're all backed into a corner, Gama can attempt to finish most of them off in one fell swoop!  He blows bubbles across a wide area in front of him!

Bubble 1
(4)(3)(3)(2)(2)(1)
(4)(4)(2)(5) A-Sandslash A-C take 2 damage and faint!

Core, thoroughly annoyed that his music has been interrupted by all that background noise, spits fire in the direction of the last target.

Flamethrower 1
(6)(6)(3)(4) A-Sandslash D takes at least 2 damage and faints!
(5)



The snowshrews now completely wiped out and the concert finished, the frigid room falls eerily quiet, aside from the faint howling of the wind coming from the floor below.

Now that the danger has been dealt with, there's plenty of opportunity to lick wounds, catch pokemon, and safely proceed across the ice in whatever manner the group decides to.

Oh, and possibly berate each other.  That too, I suppose.  If that Boomburst had been at its full Strength, it could have very well fainted more than just the enemy.

Every trainer gets 6 exp.  Every pokemon that participated gets 6 exp as well, with the exception of Gama and Susano'o, who get 3 instead because Ralts gets 6 exp from her Exp. Share.

Spoiler

Kogeki and his companions had little time to prepare themselves for such strong coming from their said companions. First he see a huge sound explosion happening, hitting his clothes and and face with such strong attack. Then he was hit by a pressure of water who hit him also badly. The surprise attack was enough to destroy a portion of his mask. By instinct he hide his face with the piece of his black clothes.

When Gama finish off the foes, Kogeki has some drops of blood of his body. It was a powerful attack, and his clothes was not built to resist such amount of damage.

Gama and Susano'o was not in better state. They are badly injured. Kogeki try to stand up. "A warning next time would be great. We get really serious injured." Said Kogeki hiding his face as best his can. He would prefer death to let anyone see his face. "But can't argue with the results. Should have used Surf to complete the show I guess."

Gama and Susano'o didn't let anyone get closer to Kogeki and them. They know how their master is sensitive about his face so they gonna defend it.

Ran is equally displeased with both his partner's not really subtly hostile behavior towards each other, stomping right between the two and spreading his arms wide and  palms outward in a display that clearly communicated the notion for them to cut that shit out, looking at Kogeki and Kee like they were being idiots.

"Enough! If you guys want to mangle each other's throats, do it off and AFTER our investigation and job is over! Until then,EVERYONE needs  towork together without threatening to kill each other, or we won't survive whatever madness is crapping out of Mt. Coronet and fertilizing a blood damn budding worldwide disaster! Even if you don't hold a troy ounce of affection or trust with each other, grit your teeth like an Ursaring and bear with it, so we can all get our work DONE safely and effectively as we can arse it! Understand?"

Aya's debut on the icy stage caught both Ran's and Beethoven's attention, but for different reasons. The bristly blacksmith, his temper still foul and steaming mad at the snowy moles, gave the colourful musician a somewhat confused/cross look, as sending a Fairy type against a pack of ornery seemed like asinine idea to him. Then he heard their Orders and saw the fanciful looking sea otter gear up for a bombastic Performance of her own, and put two and two together, shocking him out of his anger and making him realize that maybe he jumped the gun with his own commands.

"Oh Scheiße Kekse. Ich glaube, ich habe es hier versaut....."

Best buddy, meanwhile, took Aya's appearance with mild and a friendly sort of curiosity, until she made it known to him that not only was she a fellow singer like, but she meant to challenge him in a Shouting Contest. That change his tune completely, the prospect of such a competition thrilling him, sending his wings fluttering in cheerful excitement, and emboldening his own musical spirit to new height! Oh joy, oh sweet joy, wasn't this a wonderful surprise for him! Now he would really give it his all then with his own BOOMING SONG, for it wouldn't do to disappoint the Fairy lady with a lackluster Perfomance, no no! 

In fact, he had just the song for this, hearing it once from some Punk that was blaring it at a dinner in Jubalife once (before Ran thrashed them in a battle)! How did it go again.....oh, like this: 

For too long, the human race has ignored the signs

Your planet is nearing destruction

Salvation is reserved for those who pass the test

If you survive, an elevated existence awaits



Initiate Phase 1


Power up the bass cannon




FIRE

And then, for a brief instance, there was nothing but pure noise.

(...)

"Ja ... das war eine schlechte Idee. Zumindest hat es aber geklappt. Auuugh....."
Translation: Yeah....that was a bad idea. At least it worked, though. Auuugh.....
Ran staggered in place for a moment, sore and disoriented from the sheer volume of the combine vocal assault of his living recorder and the aquatic actor, until he managed to shake it off and managed to use a Potion on him (cursing when it nearly fell from his shaky grasp), fully restoring his health!

"Pwaaah.....that's much better...."

Mental and physical faculties fully restored, he took that moment to look around at his group, and winced when he saw the harmful havoc he helped cause.

"Omph.....looks like I wasn't the only one that suffered a doozy from that.....singing contest."

*Sighs, and facepalms* 

"Sorry about that, everyone. Here, let me fix y'all up. Least I can do, seeing as I was partially responsible for giving your eardrum a thorough blasting...."

Randolph proceeds to give Kogeki, Karen, and Kee a Super Potion to fully restore their HP (Running out of them in the process), and hands out 1 Potion for each Pokemon (Leaving him with 12). He also Revives Brigid and gives her a Potion, fully restoring her HP, and returning Beethoven to his ball and then to the PC, replacing them with Catherine, though not before congratulating him for his outstanding Performance.

"Ya did good, buddy. Ya did good. Thank you for saving our bacon. Take a nice, long breather, and don't worry about suffering the cold here anymore."

He also apologized to his coal muncher, rubbing the back of his head as he did so.

"Forgive for getting ya clocked clean, girl. Wasn't really thinking straight, when I Ordered Beethoven to use Boomburst, or expect Kee to pull out his pretty looking otter to create a right racket together. Think ya can still handle clearing the Ice here, and keeping us safe?" (IE: More INFERNOS from her)

As for the A-Snowshrew, Ran would want to catch 1 of the Sandslashes and 3 of those Sandshrews (Essentially 1/4 of the horde), first asking if anyone could Paralyze them (all the Sands) first to make it easier to ball them. Each Sandshrew/slash will get two Pokeballs each to catch them, or 2 Great Balls for the Sandslash if they manage to break out of the first Pokeball. He may or may not capture more, though, depending on if anyone else will leave any uncaught. (Any Items on the Sands, btw Dragonstrike?)

Candince would get sent out on the ice to check for any clues/loot/suspicious stuff, and is asked to come back to Ran ASAP if she does (or if danger comes her way).

Kogeki's......reaction about his mask earned him not a small amount of concern and interest from Ran, which only grew as he saw his aquatic samuri/ninja close ranks around him to shield him from scrutiny. He didn't try to approach them, though, as he would respect any man's desire for privacy, but he did call out to them.

".....You going to be okay, Kogeki? If you'll let me, I can probably fix up that mask of yours in a jiffy. Promise I won't look at ya face, too. Can also make ya a Steel or Aluminum Mask later, so you have a mask that you won't worry about breaking again. How's all that sound?"

"Keep that Super Potion," Karen hands back the Super Potion that Ran offered, and uses the Portable PC to swap Lotus back into her party for Rapidash (effectively healing her) then uses the two Potions to heal herself and Lopunny. With a *huff* and rubbing her still-ringing ears, Karen gets ready to go deeper into the ruins.
