[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Fisherman Matrim sends out Kingler. "I keep this Pokemon around just for double battles. He's pretty badass, though. And he'll be even more so when he learns Guillotine - maybe one or two more battles might do the trick?"

Apsis: (3) + 5 = 8
Krabby: (2) + 3 Dex + 1 Survival = 6

The researcher almost became alarmed at the mention of Guilotine , one of the four infamous OHKO moves (5 if you count Destiny Bond, or 6 if one consider draining the Will out of an opponent 'knocking them out.'), but let out a sigh of relief when they more or less admitted that they don't know it....yet. Or it could be a bluff to lower his guard; who knows, really? "A Kingler would be a rather formidable crustacean to be reckoned with, once it learn that move and has laser Accuracy with his regular moves. If they overcome Apsis and gain enough experience to pull of the move, could you perhaps refrain from using it, though? I want this to be a sporting match between us, not you bulling me over with OHKO after OHKO..."

The regal snake took one good look at the Kingler and their mouth started to water in an instant; she loves the taste of seafood, and even if she can't devour that crab for its succulent meat, she could certainly enjoy the taste of it! With that in mind, the hungry snake gives him a terrifying Glare to nail him in place, before they rush forward to chomp into their skeleton with sparking fangs!

Order: Apsis will use Glare on Kingler first to hobble them and lower their effective Accuracy, before using Thunder Fang on them to cook them to perfection! Next rounds will use TF twice per round, unless they start dodging them; in which case she'll switch to using Wrap twice per round (Once if they dodge the first TF in the first round, twice per round after wards until it hits) until they are bound and THEN continue with the Thunder Fangs. She also won't dodge any moves UNLESS they are OHKO, or she gets to 1/4 of her HP. Ventus will also use a Potion on them if they lose 4 HP or more from Kingler's Attack(s), preferably right before she launches one of her own. Let get nautical, matey!

Moves:

Glare
Accuracy: DEX (2) + Fight (3) + Intimidate (1) - 1 Accuracy - 2 Actions = 3D6 Dice
Effect: Paralyze the target

Effect: *Flitch 2* *Paralysis 2*

Wrap (Conditional)
Accuracy: 7D6 - 1 Accuracy - 2/3 Actions (Depending on when evaded) = 4D6 or 3D6 on first attack, then goes 4/3D6 until Kraby is bound.
Damage: STR (3) + 1 - Vitality (?) = 3D6 Base Damage
Effect: Blocks Target for 4 Rounds, and roll 2 Dice to deal more damage to target, regardless of Vitality.

[Dragonstrike]

"Young trainer! Oh, young trainer! Hello. I'm Valerie, Shield Maiden of the Pokemon League. May I ask where you're journeying to? And how is that journey going? Remember!! The League is here to help!!"

The League's Shields.  Their frontline protectors.  She must be headed to Ginger Town to ensure there's no trouble caused during the Running...despite this, Nathan's still rather nervous.  If an Absol shows up, there's usually little anyone can do to prevent the disasters that follow...

"Journey's...going okay...I guess...headed back to Ginger Town...just really nervous something might happen...since the Running is starting soon..."

[Iron]

"Oh, there's so many League officials and medics on standby that the Running's nothing to worry about. Unless Absol are participating, I suppose..." She quickly goes on to say, "...but that hasn't happened in probably 20 years. Absol is pretty nearly extinct."

[Iron]

(I said Kingler in one sentence and Krabby in the next. It's a Kingler.)

"Give it one more try, Kingler!"

Fisherman Matrim Round 3

At that declaration of intent from the fisherman to Kingler and that fact that they never agreed to NOT use OHKO moves, Ventus automatically assumed the worst, and acted accordingly. "Focus on landig only one Thunder Fang, and make sure it hits that Kingler Apsis! Give it the shock of their lives, my sister!"

Order: Only going to use one Thunder Fang next round, and spending a Will Point to make absolutely SURE that it lands on Kingler. I don't like what you are hinting at here, Iron. Also, we agreed to have No Fainting rules, so if Kingler gets to 1 HP, its outa the fight!

"Oh, there's so many League officials and medics on standby that the Running's nothing to worry about. Unless Absol are participating, I suppose..." She quickly goes on to say, "...but that hasn't happened in probably 20 years. Absol is pretty nearly extinct."

Ooh boy...he'd read about that one...several trainers almost got trampled by Tauros, the Absol itself was incredibly unruly...there was even a very, very big Rapidash that just refused to be slowed down...among other rare and dangerous pokemon from the Mt. Molten area...

"Yeah, I've got family and friends participating...and Kirlia and I just have a really, really bad feeling about this...like something's going to go horribly wrong...I really hope nothing does, but...I just can't shake that feeling..."

[Iron]

Yep, no fainting and no OHKO, thanks for the reminder! He wasn't planning an OHKO though.


Fisherman Matrim Round 2

Thunder Fang
(6)(5)(6)(5) + Will point(6) = crit
(1)(2)(4) Holding back, this leaves Kingler with 1hp, and he is withdrawn!

"Do you need to make a switch? My next Pokemon is ready."

[Iron]

"Well, I'll be there, young trainer. Let me give you my business number. And remember this is only to be used in emergencies."

"If you like, I'll walk the rest of the way with you, if you aren't planning to beat around the bush too much."

[Lord Windos]

Yep, no fainting and no OHKO, thanks for the reminder!


Fisherman Matrim Round 2

Thunder Fang
(6)(5)(6)(5) + Will point(6) = crit
(1)(2)(4) Holding back, this leaves Kingler with 1hp, and he is withdrawn!

"Do you need to make a switch? My next Pokemon is ready."

"Yes, I believe I will, as I doubt Apsis wants to remain coated in mud any longer than she already has been," Ventus replied, recalling his snake into her Pokeball (And nullifying the DEX drop in the process), and flicks out his wrist, sending out a Pokeball and summoning Michael in a flash! The macho shroom got a good look at his opponent (Whoever it is), before puffing itself up and giving them an determined look! Nothing will stop him from achieving VICTORY on the battlefield!

Order: Regardless of Initiative, Michael is going to be spamming Absorb 3 time per round, and tank blows like a champ! Ven will apply a Potion to them if they get below half HP ; They also have the Toxic Orb, so they have Passive 1 HP regen per round AND Poison immunity. Time for him to truly shine!
