[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Genesect and stuff

"Power spot's an oddly specific term to use, though. I can't imagine you got that from the local artwork alone."

Pinsir

Nathan asks Nurse Joy if he can talk to the bug for a few minutes. He has a jar of honey prepared as a peace offering to get the ball rolling.

[Iron]

"No problem. Lumin says no one is to touch the Pinsir, though. We've actually been keeping him in his Pokeball for part of each night, so I will let him out in his little cage."

She releases Pinsir into a tough plastic transparent box, like a giant hamster cage. It has all the furnishings a giant bug might need.

[Lord Windos]

After a somewhat awkward and tense night of meditation and incense burning with Shiva, Ventus was still quite tired from yesterday's event. His meditation did help clear his mind of all the emotional baggage he acquired from the prior day's turbulent events, however, so he felt more or less alright. Once he retrieved his project book back from the young lass, he escorted her out of his room and conducted his morning rituals, before he left to check up on Nathan and the others.

When he found the boy and saw that he was trying to persuade the Pinsir to be on his good side, he immedianlty pivoted around and left the room. 'I promised I would not seek the lives of the Pinsir and its trainer, but that does not mean I will turn the other check and forgive them for their transgression. I'll leave the matters of mercy to one more suited than myself,' the researcher though, briefly irritated at the sight of murderous insect, before he banish it from it mind. He had other things to do at the moment, such as finding more jobs to help pay off his fine....

Order: Find more odd jobs or trainer battles so that I can start making headway paying off my fine. After that, going to check out that Library from earlier to see if there is anything interesting there (If nothing else interrupt Ven, that is.)

[Iron]

How much are you looking to wager, Ventus?

[Lord Windos]

How much are you looking to wager, Ventus?

($275 Poke Dollars, Iron. If I win that battle, I'll bet half that (Rounded down) on the next fight. That way, if I happen to lose the second bout, I still end up making some profit for my trouble.)

[Iron]

You get into a 1 v 1 match with Bugcatcher Roosevelt. He hefts a well-worn Pokeball.


Edit: It's a 1 at a time battle, but each trainer gets 2 Pokemon.

His initiative:
(2) + 4 Dex + 1 Survival = 7
You:
(5) + bonuses, you'll go first! Who do you send out?

[Lord Windos]

After posting a challenge on the local Trainer Spot Board, he was soon approached by a rugged mustachioed man wearing tiny specticles, hefty a great big bug catcher net. Deciding that now would be as good of a time as ever to break in Corsola, he flicked his wrist and sent her Pokeball spiraling onto the field. In a flash, she was summoned, briefly tottering in place before turning around to look at her master suspiciously. "Worry not, Ariel, I'm not going to touch you this time. You are about to fight in your first Pokémon battle, so prove your strength and beauty to me, sister."

[Iron]

Good choice - the Bugcatcher sends out a Butterfree!

"Oh no. This won't take long, will it?"

[Lord Windos]

Good choice - the Bugcatcher sends out a Butterfree!

"Oh no. This won't take long, will it?"

Ventus just gives the man a small smile, before shaking his head in affirmation. Ariel, noticing that she was fighting a Bug-Flying type of all Pokémon, smiled deviously and let out a malevolent chitter. She liked battling, of course, but she will enjoy this one. Still, she though, it was better safe than sorry, so its steeled herself for combat, before she let loose a stream of Bubbles at the butterfly!

Order: Ariel will use Harden as her first action of the round, then follow up with Bubble attacks until she can't do them no more! If she somehow didn't get off the Harden, she'll just focus on using Bubble as much per round, then.

Moves

Harden
Accuracy: VIT (2) + Survival (3) - Consec. Actions (2) = Pool 3
Effect: Raise Def. by 1

Bubble
Accuracy: DEX (2) + Fight (2) + Channel (2) - Hustle (1) - Consec Actions (3 and 4) = 2 Dice on first Attack, 1 Dice on second
Damage: STR (2) + 2 + STAB (1) + Hustle (2) = Pool 7
Effect: *Lower DEX [ 1] 1*

Valder is affected by Ventus' fighting spirit and decides to get a battle himself. He'll wager 200$ if there's a trainer to battle.
