"Hm. I do remember some headlines about a powerful trainer disappearing. I never put two and two together. Do you know, did the League investigate? I was a Shield Maiden then, but as you may know, we aren't detectives. Not smart enough. My sisters could have been enlisted in the search party, but I wasn't."

(Raphael would only take 1 Damage from Hyper beam, since Charm removes 2 Damage Dice from its roll. Unless being put to Sleep repeatidly gave it a Rage boost?)

"Yeah, they did...they didn't find anything.  Zero.  Zilch.  Zip.  Nada.  It's like he just Teleported off the face of the planet...his pokemon all disappeared with him, too...his Skarmory didn't Fly back to tell us he was being held up somewhere else in the region by one thing or another...and his signature Luxray didn't reluctantly come to fetch us either like he usually did when my dad needed help somewhere nearby...haven't seen or heard anything about him in 3 years aside from what memories we have of him..."

Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 7

Tomorrow you can let me know if you want to enable Encore again! Definitely creating a more level playing field for Apsis, though Raphael doesn't look like he'll make it unless that Sky Attack causes flinch - which it has a very good chance of doing!

Once Raphael lands their next attack, Ventus calls out to them : "Use Encore once more, and await further orders, my archangel! Don't let up now!" The fisherman's comments elicited a slight smile out his stoic/serene calm, as if they were frustrated with being locked down, then the plan was certainly working! Though, given the heavenly Pokémon slowly but surely accumulating more and more scorch marks on their body, this strategy of his will not last much longer without some of Victini's Luck on his side...

Order: Roll Accuracy for Sky Attack as if it was only 1 of 2 Actions ( 8D6 - 1 Accuracy - 2 Pain - 2 Actions = 3D6 Dice ) , then use Encore straight afterwards (7D6 - 2 Pain - 3 Actions = 2D6 Dice) , and Pause the battle after the Round has ended. Let's hope Sky Attack is either super powerful, gets lucky with Flitching, and/OR Encore procs, because otherwise Raphael goose is cooked!

Fixed the HP.



Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 7

Gyarados falls asleep. A Full Heal is used.

Sky Attack
(4)(6)(4)(6)
(4)(4)(5)(1)(3)(5) Gyarados takes 4 dmg 10/24 -1 pain now.
Flinch: (2)(5)(1)(2)(1)

"Try Hydro Pump this time. Don't want to waste time recharging!"

Hydro Pump
9 dice -2 pain -2 accuracy -2 actions = 3 dice
(5)(6)(1)
1* Str + 5 power +1 STAB -4 vit = 3 dice
(1)(5)(6) Raphael takes 2 dmg 2/9hp He survived!

Encore
(6)(5)(5)
Gyarados is locked into double Hydro Pump.

"Make sure you hold back."

Hydro Pump
(3)(5) Hit
(1)(5)(3) Raphael is out of the battle.

Can Apsis chew through 10hp of Charmed, predictable Gyarados before being cooked herself? Great job with Raphael! Ventus gains 1XP right now for great strategy.

"There's still hope. Especially if his Pokemon are with him. And I can guarantee the League will re-open the investigation if anything new is discovered."

Nathan hugs his legs, trying to curl up into a ball to make himself smaller.  "Maybe...but three years is a long time..."

[Lord Windos]

Fixed the HP.



Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 8

Ventus cringed a bit when his beloved archangel was shot out of the sky by the beast's torrential, aqueous blast, before they immediantly recalled them to their Pokeball; their would be time enough after battle to puruse their child's injuries, when he was not being stared down by a rather incessed Gyarados and its master. He then flicked out his wrist to summon Apsis onto the battlefield, before they applied a Potion to them, restoring 2HP (Potion Effectiveness Halved due to Super Potion used earlier in the day), but eliminating the pain she was feeling! [b]"My sister, show this beast what true snake eyes are with Glare, and dodge out of the way of its next Hydro Pump! Finish the job Raphael's job of hobbling Gyarados, Apsis!"

Orders: Apsis will use Glare to Paralzye the monster, and try to dodge out of the way of the first Hydro Pump ! Who will be the greater terror on the battlefield?!

Moves:

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

Evasion
Accuracy: DEX (2) + Fight (3) + Evasion (0) - 3 Actions = 2D6 Dice
Effect: Trying to dodge the Gyarados' first Hydro Pump![/b]

Nathan hugs his legs, trying to curl up into a ball to make himself smaller.  "Maybe...but three years is a long time..."

"I can't deny that. But someone who can go toe to toe with Hayes is not someone who goes down easily. You can rest assured your father's sacrifices, whatever they may be, paid off and brought a great deal of good into the world."

[Iron]

Ok, so Apsis would be at 14/15hp then. And her previous debuffs are all wiped.



Fisherman Matrim's Gyarados Round 8

Glare

Gyarados is paralyzed. -2 Dex

Hydro Pump
1* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Canalize -2 pain -2 actions -2 acc = 1 dice
