Sailor Nightshade Round 4

"Yes, as a sailor on a cruise ship, I agree with your sentiment! Grow, my pretties! Grow!!"

Ember on Minun
(3)(3)(3)(1)(6) Barely a hit.
(3)(6)(3)(1)(1)(3) But no damage! (Even though I forgot Sunny Day's fire effects last round and had to add a dice)
Burn: (6) Minun is burned. This will be her last round of combat.

Ember on Cherrim
(5)(6)(3)(2)(6)
6 dmg dice, -4* vit = 2d6+1
(6)(1) Cherrim takes 2 damage and is removed from the fight. Charmander loses Flower Gift, leaving him only with Minus!
Burn: (5)

Nuzzle
(5)(1)(3)(1)(5) Hit, barely
Without the benefits of Flower Gift, Charmander's vit is only 2!
(3)(5) Charmander takes 1 dmg and loses 2 dex as he's paralyzed 4/5hp
Still 1 point short of affecting the init order

Scratch 2 on Fennekin
Was gonna be 3 dice (brawl being lower than canalize), now 1 dice after paralysis.
(1)
That's a miss. Charmander is confused!
Nightshade has 3 insight, so she needs to succeed on 1 dice.
(2) Nope. We don't see confusion pay off too often, but it works nicely in conjunction with paralysis.
2 Str +2 power -2 vit = 2 dice
(6)(6) Charmander deals 2 damage to itself. 2/5hp.

Ember 2 on Charmander
(4)(2)(5)(3) Hit
6 dice, -2 vit = 4d6-1
(2)(2)(6)(1) No damage.

Minun is out of the fight from Burn's effects. The crewmembers quickly soothe the burn.

"We each need to send out a Pokemon. You've got to guess - will I be using Victreebel again, or someone new?"

Sailor Nightshade Round 5



This is pretty interesting, because you were close to causing this decimation as soon as you were ready to capitalize on all those debuffs. Is Shiva going to level up Vitality, to live longer and thus have time for more debuffs?

[Lord Windos]

After receiving his Pokémon back from the nurse and thanking her generously for their kind service, Ventus decided that, instead of waiting for what could be hours on end for his friends, something that, while he would be more than glad to do in most cases, he would use one of the provided training rooms (Coincidently a different one than Nathan was using) to hone the skills of some of his Pokémon. Before he did that, though, he recorded a voice message to Nathan and Shiva, just in case they arrived at the Center and was wondering where he was at:

The one to Nathan:
"My friend, I have finished my errands , and I am currently availing myself of one of the training rooms in the Pokémon Center, and will be there until further notice. If you need me for anything, just give me a call, or find me when you wish to start our discussion for what our future plans will be, upon departing Corsage."

The one to Shiva:
"Salutations, Shiva! I have wonderful news: Nathan and I have survived our Gym Battle challenge with Chuckles, and have come out victorious! It...wasn't the most pleasant battles I have experience, but we still managed to get our badges and walk away no worse off than before. If you need me for anything, don't hesitate to call, alright? For the time being, I'll be training with my family at the Pokémon Center, so worry not about my whereabouts! OH, and I have something quite hilarious I wish to show you and Raphael, when you arrive! Its....entertaining, to say the least. Say hi to Raphael for me!"

Order: Hold a training session with Michael, Ariel, and Lucifer, and try to get those last dredges of XP for him to learn Spore. Ah, a person can dream , can't they?

[Dragonstrike]

Hmmm...no Ventus in the lobby...maybe he left a message?

Huh?

Where did all these contacts come from?

He didn't remember having this many phone numbers registered in his pokedex before...

Sochi...Valder...Zanzibar...lots of researchers and proferssors and doctors...it looks a lot like what Ventus might have on his phone...his brother was named Zanzibar, right?

...wait, but then that means...

He has to look twice just to be sure.

Cynthia.

Oh my.

That was not a number he expected to ever have access to...well...that's awkward...

He just stands there for a moment, staring at his pokedex...

Kirlia grips his arm to snap him out of it.

"Huh?  Oh, right, I was checking my messages.  Right...thanks..."

'My friend, I have finished my errands , and I am currently availing myself of one of the training rooms in the Pokémon Center, and will be there until further notice. If you need me for anything, just give me a call, or find me when you wish to start our discussion for what our future plans will be, upon departing Corsage.'

Huh...guess he just missed him...this would be a good opportunity to ask him how the hell his contacts list ended up on his pokedex...

Well, guess it was time for a little chill time while waiting for Ventus to show up.  Porygon2 should be healed up by now, right?

Time to do a whole lot of nothin' with Nathan's pokemon!  Well, except Houndour.  Still not gonna bring him out in public while we're still in Corsage, after all.  I'm sure he'll understand.  Can get to that apology and thanks for Porygon2's work in the gym battle as well, assuming it's healed up after the second encounter slot finished.

(Ya know, I'm surprised it took this long for Nathan to notice!)

Sailor Nightshade Round 5

"We each need to send out a Pokemon. You've got to guess - will I be using Victreebel again, or someone new?"

Huh... At least Flower Gift has been removed now from the battle. With the cost of Minun, but it was worth it... Shiva will keep the species of Cherrim in mind. They're adorable, rather strong under the sun and relatively rare to find in Unova.

She gladly accepted negatively charged rodent from a sailor that soothed the burn, thanked them and gifted a short yet dear hug to Minun before withdrawing her inot Pokeball alongside Plusle, who was still resting next to Shiva as he has been removed from the battle. Both did so well! What was  left, was Raphael beside her. Despite being hurt and tired, archangel looked relatively fine (but of course unable to fight). Must be the role as protecter and guidance to his Master's friend he had currently that he refused to return to his Pokeball (which Ven handed her as well, just in case).

Hearing out Nighshades words about both needed to send out a Pokemon now, Fennekin - who did not duffered any damage so far, hooray! - turned to his Master. Not only that, he used the short break to pounce on his Master and faintly lick over her right cheek. From what Shiva could tell, he was expressing confidence that they will win this battle under the nice beams of sun light. He was awaiting who Master will send out to accompany him.

After a short considering, it was Kyuu! The Espurr was still wearing his gifted tartan scarf and was a little shy about participating in a battle, but both the confidence of the fox beside him and the assurance of his Master that there's nothing to fear quickly soothed that. He kept his ears tightly closed to his head, so far he wasn't able to use the psychic power emerging from the organs covered against a foe yet.

Shiva herself turned to Nightshade, giving her all attention she could bring up. "Espurr is my nexest companion... He'll surely appreciate the chance of such a challenge! As for your Pokemon to send out - you have one that I haven't seen yet, do you? As well as that Victreebel... I'd guess you'll send out the new and fresh Pokemon. I'm curious what it is!~"


Summary:
On my side, Plusle, Minun and Raphael are out of the battle. Fennekin and Espurr are fresh, Cottonee is on hand as well. And egg cannot fight. :/
On Nighsthade's side, Cherrim is out of the fight, Charmader is confused + paralysed and at 2/5HP. Her fourth Pokemon is fresh, Victreebel is fred from all the debuffs I took effort to conflict on it *sob* + regained Chlorophyll due to switching out, 6/7HP.

Orders for the next Round will come after Nightshade has send out her replacement for Cherrim. Besides, can I put a Cherubi OR directly Cherrim-Encounter - the evolved form is encounterable in the wild in BW1 and ORAS - onto wishlist, please? Shiva could use some more Grass Types since I made them her second favority Type, this evo line learns Sunnay Day way earlier than Fennekin-line and Flower Gift is quite a a neat ability to have when I'm participating in more Double than Single Battles anyway. Thanks!

Nightshade surprises you (maybe) by withdrawing Charmander and sending out both Victreebel and a new Pokemon, Helioptile!

[Iron]

Just normal training Xp for Ventus' Pokemon.

Porygon2 is healed quickly, at least enough to talk to. Ideally he will still spend plenty of time getting rest. Destiny Bond can be a harrowing experience, dropping from full health to nothing so quickly. No bruises or other physical pain, though, so that's a positive.

[Dragonstrike]

"Good to see you're not harmed physically from that experience, Porygon2.  So uh...yeah...sorry about that...I should have seen that coming, I guess...I screwed up quite badly there, forgetting that Gengar can use Destiny Bond too...but despite that, you did well in that battle.  Thanks for all the hard work, buddy.  Wouldn't have been able to win that battle without ya.  We're gonna spend some time just chillin' here with Kirlia, Swiftfire, Starmie, and Grid for now while we wait for everyone else to show up, so you've got plenty of time to relax.  Oh, and here: have some honey.  Maybe it'll help ya recover."

Alright, now to just wait for everyone else to show up.

Sailor Nightshade Round 5


My, the suprise was indeed real, although Shiva did ot show the full suprise on the outside. An adorable Helioptile, common seen in Kalos, very rarely seen elsewhere. She actually thought they don't enjoy hot sunny weather too much... anyway! "What a neat reptile you have there! You tell me where you got it from?" Nightshade was a sailor, so she'd likely paid Kalos a visit or twice - ah, the actual home of the Fairy Type.

So be it then. Victreebell was clearly the bigger threat, though. Defeating the fly catcher had priority for now... "Fennekin, concentrate now! we can cuddle later. That is, after our victory!~ Please begin with showing Victreebel some of your Embers. You, Kyuu, seek cover from it's Grass-Type moves, and show how sharp your claws are between the Embers. I'll take care that you'll be able to use some of your psychic powers actively against a foe."


Orders for this round: Focusing on Victreebel now. Fennekin will spam Ember on it, while Kyuu will seek cover from any Grass-Type moves coming from Victreebel and plaque it with Scratches, both until either Victreebel is defeated, or anything happens that needs my immediate interaction. Come back to only two Embers if Fennekin suffers a Pain Penalization, in that case Blaze will be triggered.


Effect: No debuffs or buffs now, raw damage is it.
Secondary Effect: There's still the audience... I feel like Shiva could get used to battle with audience.
Pain Penalization: 0 on both of my Pokemon on-field.

Accuracy Roll Ember 1: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 2 Channel - 3 Actions = 4 D6
Accuracy Roll Ember 2: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 2 Channel - 4 Actions = 3 D6
Accuracy Roll Ember 3: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 2 Channel - 5 Actions = 2 D6

Damage Roll: 2 Strenght + 2 Power of move + 1 STAB + 1 due to Sunny Weather = 6 D6 + 1 autodamage due to SE
Additional notes: 1 CD to inflict Burn1.

Accuracy Roll Scratch 1: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 0 Brawl - 2 Actions = 3 D6
Accuracy Roll Scratch 2: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 0 Brawl - 3 Actions = 2 D6
Damage Roll: 2 Strength + 2 power of move = 4 D6, not bad.
Additional notes: Victreebel could devour both of my Pokemon in whole and at once, lol.

Depending on what ability Helioptile has, it may suffer 1 autodamage at the end of each Round.

(All Gym leaders are named Zamboni, just like all nurses are named Nurse Joy?)


Gastly gains 1 point of Loyalty and 1 point of Happiness from this excellent and rare advice.

 (*woof* *woof* yes, Nylon think so. Nylon always right!)    (Did you add the happieness&co? I added it so it might be wrong now)

 With the magic known as walking, Valder is back in the center thinking about what Chuckles said. 'I want Ghastly to become the Gengar it always wanted to be, but I don't want it to feel betrayed'.
 'If Ghastly trusts me, I could probably trade it to someone I know, and then have them trade it back, there's also that thing called a dream stone (right?), but that's hard to find'.

 Valder looks at his three Pokemon. "We should do some training. I'll let you three choose. Do you wish to battle or have a small training session somewhere closeby?"

 (if possible, can you immidiately execute their choice)
