[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

...

"...damn it.  Seems like the Vampire has a different target in mind tonight."

But there was still some good news.

There were only two pokeballs here.  And neither of them contained a Ribombee and its Z-Crystal.

Mina might still be fighting.

"We need to move.  Now.   I think that normal looking street is our best bet.  The Vampire doesn't seem to care where her targets are from what I can tell.  And I doubt her current target would be in the run down section of the city...Angelica, Looker, get your Crobat in the skies.  I want nocturnal eyes up there, looking for trouble.  We need to find the Vampire immediately.  That Beautifly of hers has been very trigger happy with Whirlwind, it seems.  Shiinotic, I'll need you to continue lighting up the shadows, and be ready to cripple attackers.  It's not just our lives on the line now.  Felicia, you also continue to keep an eye out."

"I don't think any of us want to see an innocent, fairy loving artist get pummeled and killed."

Reiner quickly hands Mina's bag and items to Emily, and puts her pokemon in a location where he can quickly access them when they find Mina.  

Reiner had been afraid this might happen.

...so now it was time to try and stop it before it got worse.

[Spiritmon]

"Damnit. Where that Vampire go?" Arial thinks. Following the lead from Reiner he give a order to Baltazar. "Use your psychic powers to find any trace about the Vampire location. She problably dont go so much far away." Arial hopes. Then he have a idea when he see Felicia Crobat. "Gaspar, use Transform in Crobat and fly to look around. The more flying pokemons we have the better."

Mechanical: Gaspar to Transform into Crobat to patrol the skies with Petrel and Felicia Cobrats and Baltazar use his psychic powers to search the area about anything who might bring some light about the Vampire Location. Problably, Insight+ Alert+Knowledge.

[Lord Windos]

Emily hurridly snatches the bag out of your hands and holds it tightly against her chest, her formerly suppressed terror was now brought to the forefront as the possibility that her idol was fighting against that bloody serial killer. They managed to not suffer a full blown panic attack thanks to Blissey waddling over and hugging the stuffing out of the distress miss, doing her other assigned role regardless of whether or not Reiner ordered or not: being a comforting presence that others needs. Her empathy may have lead her to learning of the glory that is her master, but it was plenty useful in helping soothe the worries of others and make them happy/calm, especially the children!

Your disguised friend sharply nodded his head and snapped his finger, summoning Mimikyu to his side before recalling them and releasing Crobat into the night sky, which was quickly joined Angelica's and Arial's bats as form a small cloud. They circled around the group for but a moment, before they shot towards the right street with all blistering speed associated with their species, their keen vision quickly descreaning that something was going over their. Shiintonic nearly fainted at the sight of THREE Poison/Flying type being brought out into the field, and would have turned off his Illuminate and fled to the nearest dark ally to get away from his nightmares made manifest, but was halted in his track by Felicia. She meaningfully held up a paw with long, deadly claws fully extended and gave the mushroom a looked that dared him to run away like a coward, and the fae mushroom wisely/fearfully decided that such a action was not condusive to his continued respiration.

Unfortunately, you felt that unless you kept a tight leash on them at all times, they would take the first opportunity to flee and abandon you; the Shiintonic was a cravanous survivor first and formost, and it was not fond of you or your Pokémon at ALL.

Baltazar's Psychic Perception Roll: Insight (2) + Knowledge (4) + Alert (0) = 6 Dice
(3)(2)(2)(6)(6)(1) 2 Success

The golem from outer space struggled to find any possible traces of the elusive Vampire with his psychic senses, and fortunately they did find something: a puddle of blood, black as night that reeked of rotten antiseptic, an empty bottle of Hyper Potion, and what looked to be a broken piece of dark green, motled chiten. Their was a trail of blood spatter that, while faint and widely broken up in long gaps, clearly pointed towards the entrance of the shadowed street and beyond it, before it vanished altogether. What ever happened, it appears that Mina managed to main one of the blood sucker's Pokémon, before they were forced to flee with them in dogged pursuit.

(I'll pause here and decide what Dragonstrike wants to do about Shiintonic and the evidence there, alright?)

[Dragonstrike]

"Alright, mushroom, listen carefully.  There is something far scarier than me out there right now.  Something that just so happens to be just as vulnerable to flying types as you are to poison, but far more able to take hits.  We need the numbers if we're going to stand a chance.  And that thing could flatten us all anyways if we don't find it soon.  It could be flattening Mina as we speak if we don't hurry.  I'm not asking you to do this for me.  I'm asking you to do this for the terrified little girl whose idol is in mortal danger.  If you can't bring yourself to work with a couple of bats to try and save a life, then you're giving me good reason to consider letting my Arbok go ham on you later.  If you don't want to help, fine, but that won't be improving my opinion of you any.  Give me good reason to not stick my Arbok on you, and I won't, kapeish? You can go back to your pokeball once you've done what I need you to."

If Shiinotic decides to continue cooperating, then not much more needs to be done there.  If not, Reiner will recall the mushroom to deal with it later, and summon Arbok in its place.

Once that's sorted out, Reiner turns to speak to everyone currently present.

"Alright everyone, be ready and wary.  We're going in.  And if you have boosting moves to use, now might be a good time to buff yourselves, but keep it quick."

[Lord Windos]

Reiner's Intimidation Roll: STR (3) + Fight (3) + Intimidate (1) + Why did it have to be Snakes/Little Girls? (3) = 10 Dice
(6)(4)(4)(3)(4)(2)(6)(5)(3)(2) 6 Success
Shiintonic's Disobediance Check: Disobediance (2) + FEAR! (2) + Being Threatened with POISONOUS SNAKES/CRYING LITTLE GIRLS! (2) = 6 Dice
(1)(3)(3)(5)(6)(3) 2 Success

If their is one thing that Shiintonic is more afraid of then death by Arbok or unspeakable night terrors (Ironic, considering he's one of them to unwary humans), almost more afraid than you, The Dragon That Walks With Darkness and Light, was breaking a small girl's heart. That was the most wretched thing in the entirety of existence, and he would not stand for it!.....though he really wish he could just hide in his Pokeball anyway. He had no choice, though, at this point: it was either run and hide, or hurt a poor girl's feelings and incite the wrath of the Dragon. Frankly, it was unfair that he had to be put in this situation to begin with, as all he want to do was chill out with his Chlorophyll Brother Breloom and do aaaaallllll the drugs, but as a mischevious Fairy type, he knew better than anyone else the fundamental truth of life: that it completely and utterly sucked.

You had the distinct feeling that Shiintonic was going to stay put and follow your current orders for the time being, but he's still quite terrified and resentful of the fact that he was being driven into BLATENT DANGER, so if he has to do battle against the Vampire and her ilk, he was doing it on his own terms. No ifs, ands, or buts!

Hearing you orders loud and clear, Mew and Felicia both use Nasty Plot, raising their STR by 2! 'Looker' command his Gengar to use Psych Up, causing the phantom menance to also gain 2 STR! Baltazar, without needing prompty from Arial, uses Rock Polish to raise their DEX by 2!

Blissey clasp their hands in prayer and closes her eyes, and soon Reiner could feel a protective presence around him. Blissey has made a Wish for your Health and Wellbeing; how will it come true, though?

Kyubi does not use Nasty Plot or similar moves, since the moment she did so her True Hypnosis Illusion would shatter, revealing to the world as her status as your furry not-quite girlfriend. She knew Emily and that madman wouldn't mind her true form (Obviously), but their was no telling how Angelica or Petrel would react. For now, the fire fox would preserve the masquerade, until ordered otherwise or your life was seriously endangered.

Gaspar and the two Crobats are not around right now, so they are unable to buff themselves for the coming trail.

You all then head over to the right street, tensions high and nerves re-inforced as you entered in the Vampire's territory....

You enter the empty, perfectly ordinary street....only to see the Crobat Cloud circling over a location just ahead.

Blood on the ground painted the way ahead. It was red.

Everyone rushes forward, to see what happen. If they had arrived in time to stop the Vampire.

...

In the middle of the street, you found Mina Mab...

Dead, blood spilling from their torn out throat.

Bathing her blouse, turn its white and pinks a crimison red

All is quiet.

All is still.

And yet....

You feel like you are being watched.

[Spiritmon]

Arial could feel something strange in this along with the bloodshed. Almost something who is watching from the shadows. He call back Gaspar who Transform again in his normal self. "Prepare to use Confusion Ray when you meet the vampire. You too Baltazar use Confusion the moment she apear.

Mechanical: Baltazar and Gaspar to use Confusion and Confuse Ray when the Vampire apear. Alert + Dex + knowledge + Strength.

[Dragonstrike]

...

...they were a few minutes too late...

Reiner clenches a fist in anger and frustration.

He tries to do something nice for someone else for once, and he gets nothing, NOTHING but grief for it.

Some cruel twist of fate this turned out to be.  Arceus or Giratina themselves seemed to be plotting against him and Emily.

Well, he was fed up with this.  He wasn't going to let 'fate' have its way.  Not this time.

Not EVER.

"...you probably think this is fun, don't you?  You enjoy killing just for the sake of it, don't you?  You miserable, heartless, wanton murderer...you'll pay for what you've done one hundred times over..."

Reiner's eyes begin to glow a bright blue as he starts using Zen State!

"I don't care how powerful you think you are.  How easily you think you can take us all down with just a casual backhand.

"You chose the wrong time to mess with Celadon.  Now, you'll face the wrath...

"...of a DRAGON!"

The dragon in Reiner is no longer slumbering.  It is very, very much awake.  And hungry.  The last time Reiner had been this incensed, he'd been banished from Blackthorn, never to return, never to see his parents and home ever again...

"Shiinotic, light this street up like a candle!  Felicia, be alert, and make sure that they can't mess with us as soon as you see them!"

'And Mew, I think you know already what I intend to do.  Be ready to strike with either Ancient Power or Psychic if you have to.  We can't have you giving away your position unless it's absolutely necessary.' 

Shiinotic
Reiner's one and only order for Shiinotic: Light this street up like a christmas tree!  Flash, Illuminate, or Dazzling Gleam, Reiner doesn't really care, just so long as the Vampire can't hide in the shadows and use them to her advantage.

Felicia
Taunt that Beautifly before it uses Whirlwind if she can spot it (Taunt is learned for 25 Exp only if she uses it)!  Ideally, Shedinja too as long as it hasn't gotten a Heal Block off yet (if it has, then she can just Bite it instead if she attacks it)

Mew
Standby for now since she needs to stay hidden for the time being, but if she absolutely has to, some well placed Ancient Powers (for Shedinja and Beautifly) or Psychics (for Buzzwole) should help soften up those bugs.

Reiner's going to trust that his pokemon will be able to more accurately judge how many actions they should take and what kinds of attacks they should use than he can currently.

Zen State
Accuracy (if needed): 3 Dex + 4 Fight + 3 Canalize + 2 Single Action = 12 D6
Effect: +1 Strength, Dexterity, Defense, and Insight for Reiner and all of his pokemon!

[Lord Windos]

Zen State
(6)(4)(5)(6)(5)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Reiner and his Pokémon gain + 1 in All Attributes!

The street was bathed in light as Shiintonic Illuminate activated and was cranked up to GROSSLY INCANDESANT from the Zen Boost received from his 'master', eradicating any and every trace of darkness in the area; the lighting was so perfect, not even shadows formed!

The Vampire and her Pokémon can no longer add their Stealth Specialty to their Ambushes, and everyone has a + 2 to Alert so long as Shiintonic continues to shine! However, this also triggers the Follow Me affect: all enemy Pokémon will target Shiintonic first before any other Pokémon. 'Looker' Pokémon will also be unable to use the shadows to their advantage as well, of course.

As the light filled the area, everyone tenses as they expect the horrible monster to be reveal, and Felicia, Shiintonic, Mew, and Reiner gets ready to challenge and in their wretched life!

...only to find that nothing was hiding in the shadows. It seems that the Vampire beated a hasty retreat once you decided to take away her main source of cover/concelment, and/or was intimidated by such a large hunting party coming after them!

(6)(6)(1)(1)(5)(6)(3)(5)(5)
(3)(2)(1)(3)
(5)(4)(5)(3)
(3)(2)(6)(5)(6)(5)

(3)(2)(1)(3)(1)(4)(6)(6)(1)
(5)(4)(4)(4)(3)(3)(6)(4)(1)(2)
(4)(2)(3)(6)(5)(5)(5)(6)(3)(3)
(3)(1)(3)(4)(1)(3)(1)(1)(2)(4)

If only it were that simple.

Sheninja faded into existence directly behind Felicia, as if they were their the whole time. Reiner and Shiintonic see this in an instant, but not your shiny kitty and its too late for them to react as the buggy spector empty shell glows a ghastly pink light!

Heal Block
Accuracy: DEX (*3) + Fight (2) + Channel (5) - 3 Actions = 7D6 Dice
(6)(6)(3)(1)(2)(1)(2) Darn, so close to denal!
Everyone but the Vampire and her Pokémon can no longer restore HP for 4 Rounds!

The fae mushroom was very much one NOT comfortable to being sneaked up on, and lashed out right away in with pure frightfulness!

Astonish
Accuracy: DEX (*4) + Fight (4) + Brawl (2) - 2 Actions = 8D6 Dice
(2)(5)(6)(3)(3)(3)(1)(5) Hits!
Damage: STR (*7) + 1 + STAB - Vitality (*5) = 3D6 + 1 Damage
(5)(3)(3) Shedninja takes 2 Damage; 11/13 HP (Surprise + ?), - 1 Pain
Flitch: (2)(2)(2) Nope

The fanciful feline was VERY quick to wise up that the husk had gotten the drop on her, and she was infurated by that fact. No one sneaks up on her, the original cat thief of the city (Before Weavile came along and stole that title from her), and she makes sure to teach that to the bug as she lunged out to sink their fangs into them!

Bite
Accuracy: DEX (*4) + Fight (*5) + Brawl (2) - 2 Actions = 9D6 Dice
(6)(5)(6)(3)(5)(5)(2)(1)(*3) Her luck guides her to victory! Critical Hit.
Damage: STR (*6) + 2 + STAB + Crit (2) - Vitality (*5) = 6D6 + 1 Damage
(1)(3)(4)(4)(2)(3) Shedninja takes 3 Damage; 8/13 HP
Flitch: (2)(1)(4) Nope

Wobbling in air from the Dark damage that managed to get past their Wonder Guard, the insect spector suddenly conjured blades as it began to preform a invigorating ritual to raise its power!

Sword Dance
Accuracy: DEX (*3) + Fight (2) + Perform (0) - 4 Actions - 1 Pain = 1 Luck Dice
(6) It worked!
Shedninja gain 2 STR!

Both the mischevious mushroom and fussy feline moved forward as one to put a stop the apparition before it could seriously wound them, using Ghostly and Dark power to pierce through the creature's so called impenetrable defense!

Astonish
(1)(1)(2)(5)(4)(4)(6) Hits!
(2)(2)(5) Shedninja takes 2 Damage; 6/13 HP, - 2 Pain!
Flitch: (2)(5)(4) Nope

Bite
(5)(4)(6)(6)(2)(2)(3)(*5) Lucky Lucky! Critical Hit!
(2)(3)(5)(6)(5)(2) Shedninja takes 4 Damage; 2/13 HP , - 2 Pain!
Flitch: (2)(4)(5) Nope

Once the brutal attack sconnected, the apparition vanished into thin air, as if the negative and otherworldly energies banished them to the afterlife! However, you could sense that it simply hadn't run away; It was preparing for something.

This all happened in mere moments, but it was enough for Angelica and 'Looker' to become fully alert and combat ready. Gengar materialized right in front of their master with a viscous grin on his face as ghastly energy of his own forming in their hands, and Blissey waddling up and glaring at the surrounding with all her might, daring the insect to come out so that she could cripple to death! Kyubi was hovering protectively over Emily and was now more audibly growling (Not that anyone but you noticed at this point), and you could see her disguise flicker ever so slightly as their protective instincts were starting to interfere with her True Hypnosis projection.

Strangly enough, however, both of their Crobats were no where to be seen, and you almost commented on it when Gasper bolted straight for you and hop up and down in the air, Transforming into a cartoonish 'HELP!' sign and pointing in the direction Arial was at.

Only....he wasn't there.

The Vampire must have Ambushed them, and took them away to deal with them personally while they kept your distracted and tied down by Shedninja and Beautifly (The later were in the area SOMEWHERE, but you couldn't pinpoint exactly where, much to your frustration).

.....Well fuck.

Initiative:

Shedninja: DEX (*3) + Survival (5) + (6) = 14
Shiintonic: DEX (*4) + Survival (3) + (3) = 10
Felicia:      DEX (*4) + Survival (5) + (1) = 10
Blissey:     DEX (3)   + Survival (3) + (6) = 12
Gengar:    DEX (3)   + Survival (2) +  (4) = 9
Beautifly (Unseen, but present) : DEX (*3) + Survival (5) + (6) = 14

Shedninja and Beautifly go first, followed by Blissey (Remember, they are under YOUR control; I just manage the stats/XP and do as you dictate for them), then Shiintonic, then Felicia, then Gengar.

The Vampire's Minions Round 1

....But where is Arial, Baltazar, and the Bats, you wonder? Why, they are...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

&Scene Transition&

You (Arial) were now quite comfortly in the grasp of the Vampire, as she sliently sprinted and weaved through the back alleys with you in a bridal carry, away from the battle that Reiner and co when now embroiled in. She was heavily shrouded in a dark green, almost black cloack, with a hood that completely hide her face, though it felt like she was heavily armor underneath it all. They had your arms and legs pinned in place, and she was definitely stronger than you, so their was no way you were getting out of this without some outside intervention. Oddly and bizarely enough, however, you didn't feel as if you were in any danger from them presently; if anything, they seemed to be fascinated/perplexed by you, though you couldn't quite place how you knew that.

Well, she was a serial killer that ate women, not men, so that could explain why your throat is thankfully unslashed, but that still begged the question: Why the hell did she kidnap you, instead of attack you on the spot? What interest her in you specifically in the first place, instead of attack the women?

Baltazar's timely arrival by swooping from the night sky above and subsequently Knocking Down the Vampire interrupted that train of thought, as the blood sucker was sent sprawling and you flying into the air as a result. Fortunately, you space golem caught you before you could painfully collide with the earth, and they set you on your feet and checked to see if you were ok,  and nodding their head in sastifaction that you were(Apart from your dignity being violated; that would take a while to heal). The night terror, meanwhile, jerked around and righted themselves, skittering to their feet and backing away from Baltazar in fear/hostility, letting out sounded to be a combination of hissing, chittering, and angry growling at the living pile of space debree. While they failed to react in time to prevent their master from being abducted, they managed use their Psychic powers and connection with the to track both of you down and preform his rescue, much to your relief and her great displeasure.

The Vampire's racket soon abated, and she stood hunched over about 10 meters away from your current position, their posture guarded and annoyed? as the mysterious woman, before they slowly extended their right arm, completely covered as well save the long, black knife that was pointed squarely at you now.

{You. Mine. Not Rock's. MINE. Come, or take! MINE!}

A not quiet voice...buzzed these broken up sentences into your head. From what you could tell at first glance, the blood sucker was non-hostile for NOW, but she was intent on taking you wherever with her and doing whatever she planned, and wasn't about to take no for an answer.

Tread lighty, here. You only have yourself and your trust/yet to be trusted Pokémon on hand, and backup is quite the distance away; it would take you about 5 Rounds of flat out sprinting to make it back to the main group, and you would have to deal wit the Vampire trying to stop and capture you the whole time. Fighting them was also an option, but as an enigmatic Cursed Arm user who's entire capabilities are unknown, who knows what they have tuck away in their folds....or if their pet Ultra Beast was lurking around them. Finally, there was always Diplomacy, but given your track record with interacting with other people and how....beastly the vamp was, it could either work out splendidly or be a total crapshoot.

What now?

What now?

Arial was surprise about the Vampire aproach. He didnt think she would kidnaped him since as far he heards, the Vampire only attacks girls. Imagined the surprise he was not kill too. Why she would do that? She would get the other girls. Run to the group its not a good option since that Vampire could bring Buzzwole and drain his energy. Fight against her its not a good option too. That strengh she have....that would be a bad idea to fight against her. So there was only one thing Arial could do: Talk and see what to do. But before that he whisper to Baltazar to only he and Arial could hear: "If she do something, like throw the Pokeball, use your psychic power to her to stop use the pokeball. Dont like, but we do. Confusion two times if Buzzwole apear or ancient power if another bug apear."

"Wow. Now thats a surprise. You caugh me off guard when your Shedinja apear from nowere and distract everyone. That pokemon live for his name, heh." Then he looks Baltazar and give a weak punch to his pokemon. "Good work in save my ass mate. You always save me in worse moments." Baltazar then simple nod his head. Arial then looks to the Vampire and say other thing. "What is I more surprise is your sneak move about kidnaped me. Serious, dont need to grab me in the first encounter. You should invite me to a dinner in some date and whaterever. Perhaps in a sushi bar. I love that ones." Arial dont exactly fear about the aparition of the Vampire. He live up by his name as madman. "Talking about it, that a real mess you did in the laboratory. Kill so much people is not cool. Not that I care so much. From what I care, humanity can explode itself from what I care, but, a job its a job. Now could you please hide that knife? You not William Coyote from what I know."

Puting that aside Arial then asks somethings: "So talking serious. Why you kidnaped me? With that distraction you could caugh one of the girls who was along with us. But you instead caugh me, a man. From what I heard you only hunt womans, and, unless everyone lie to me all this time, I am a man. A crazy, maniac, misontropic and suicidal one. But still a man. Unless..." Then Arial made a shock face and a comic position. "YOU THINK I AM A GIRL?! HOW RUDE!" Of course is just a distraction. He hopes to talk until someone come to help. In this moment, his mouth is the only weapon he have. Along with the Pokemon and the Cursed Arm.

[Dragonstrike]

"Hehehehehe...hahahahahaha!!!  Oh, that's good.  REAL good.   Kidnapping our weakest link, Whirlwinding away our flying types, and leaving us to deal with your nuisances for pokemon while you make a run for it.  Splendid!  Unfortunately for you, though, I'm not going to let you run to do as you please."

Reiner starts by tossing Shiinotic an X Defense!

"Believe it or not, mushroom, your well being is a pretty valid concern of mine right now since you're the one keeping us from being in an even worse position.  So, since these bugs are so fast, if it looks like you're going to be moving before that Beautifly that's somewhere around here, regardless of whether you see it, I would HIGHLY recommend grounding yourself if you don't want to get blown away.  Do whatever else you wish to defend yourself, just don't go down or get removed from the battle if you can help it.  Though it would certainly be HIGHLY appreciated if you were to shut down at least one of those bugs completely with Spore or Confuse Ray.  The faster we end this, the better off we'll all be.  Speaking of which..."

Out comes Arbok!

"Arbok, if that Shedinja starts looking aggressive when it shows up, knock it silly!  And then keep the pressure on it!  I want that husk down in the next few seconds!  Felicia, back him up!"  Reiner's got a hand on one of his key stones again, that chilling purple light present once more as Arbok Mega Evolves!

Angelica's next on the list, followed by Petrel to keep up appearances.  Whew, Reiner's orders are coming FAST!

"Angelica, I want that Beautifly paralyzed as soon as it shows up.  We can't heal for now, so go on the offense or run what support you can once that's done. Looker, do your thing and obliterate stuff however you see fit!"

Orders

Shiinotic
Strong, strong recommendation to use Ingrain if Beautifly doesn't immediately appear or looks to be prepping to use Whirlwind (Yes, Ingrain can still be used when Heal Block is active.  It won't heal HP, but Shiinotic can't be blown away if he's rooted to the ground, which is great since Shiinotic is the only pokemon that can be targeted by the move currently.  Strength Sap is completely nullified, unfortunately.)  Recommendations are about all Reiner's going to give Shiinotic, though he would highly appreciate it if Shiinotic were to do a little crippling for everyone's sake...

Note: +2 additional Defense from that X Defense!

Mega-Arbok
4 Actions.  If Shedinja is about to attack when it shows up again, Sucker Punch (Crunch instead if Arbok has a higher Initiative than Shedinja)!  And following that, a whole load of non-lethal Crunches.  Let's see how that bug likes taking a bunch more SE dark and ghost damage.  If Shedinja is KOed, switch to using Ice Fang on Beautifly.

Note: Mega Boost gives him another +1 to all attributes.  Petrify will reduce enemy Dex by 1 and give all of Arbok's attacking moves 2 additional flinch chance dice.  And if he gets a 5 or 6 on his initiative roll, he's going first.

Felicia
Also 4 actions.  Loads of Bite attacks on Shedinja!  And following that, Power Gems (learned for 32 exp if used) on Beautifly once Shedinja is KOed.

Note: Don't forget Bite also gets a Technician boost!

Blissey
Paralyze that Beautifly when it shows up, then join the offense!  No specific orders from Reiner concerning how many actions and what kind of offense, but Shadow Ball on Shedinja and other damaging moves on Beautifly should be fairly obvious.  Or Blissey could use Helping Hand as well.  Reiner's going to leave the final decision up to Angelica.

Mew
Still on standby for now, unless she feels she absolutely has to get involved. Maybe she sets up an Amnesia in the meantime so she's a little more prepared if she does have to? Up to her, I guess, since Reiner's not ordering her around this round.
