[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

"Here in the bog, Mack. More layers than anywhere. The Preserve is crook, can't rip at all. Too many divvies. Swamp's just bush, Mack. Long way from anywhere or anything."

"Ah, that would make since, since swamps have the right conditions to create a multitude of Fossils should a Pokémon's remains get sufficiently covered in the muck! Hmm....well, I have one last question before I leave you to your own devices: do you happen to know or heard of a place known as 'The Ends of The Earth' from your travels through Cheshire. My friends and I are searching for the location, and we came here to Arrowroot specifically to gather any leads, so if you have anymore info could you please enlighten me?"

"Wish I could help with that, Mack, since I like to claim to have walked about from one end of the Earth to the other! Keep your head low, now!"

[Lord Windos]

"Wish I could help with that, Mack, since I like to claim to have walked about from one end of the Earth to the other! Keep your head low, now!"

"*Shrugs* I don't begrudge your lack of knowledge on this topic, given its obscurity, so I would like to thank you once more for a great battle, and what knowledge you have given me. May you have peaceful travels and a safe journey, Mack!"

Ventus waves the hiker off as they depart for parts unknown (Or more likely the Pokémon Center), and decided to beat feet to the Bonfire to make some headway in learning how to properly play his new instrument, as well as gather more knowledge on summoning the Southern Wind Incarnate. Just as he was making his way towards the bonfire, Lilith, who had once again grown impatient of being trapped inside their Pokeball for FAR too long in their taste, popped right out of it in a flash and fluttered up to take their place on their trainer's shoulders once more, with a look as if they always belonged their. Hmpt! Certainly a willful bugger, isn't she?

(Ready for the Bonfire, but I can wait for it while you focus on finishing up the battles first, Iron. Got WTE breeding to do, anyway!

"For me its okay. 6x6 its okay for me. Double would be cool, that way we can use the full strengh of our teams. And I agree about no use items. I not holding back too Nathan, so I hope you ready." Heart was quite eager to begin the battle.

(Since this is your first PvP, Spirit, the way this is going to work is we'll be PMing ALL of our orders to Iron instead of posting them here, that way this remains fair.  So start by sending him the two pokemon you're starting the battle with, then send him your battle orders for the first round once we know what we're starting with.)

Nathan slips on the fingerless fighting gloves Vincent gave him what feels like ages ago, cracks his knuckles, and Kirlia perfectly mirrors the actions.  "We're ALWAYS ready for a battle, Heart.  Let's see if you can keep up."

Nathan's Serious Battle Theme v2: Battle!! - Xenoblade Chronicles 2

(Well, I begin typing the PM message now.)

Heart then flex his legs and his arms to heat himself. "Well, I problably gonna have my butt kick it, but no matter, because the important its enjoy the battle. No more, no less." Heart smile. "I couldnt be called PUNisher without give PUNishment for my adversaries."

[Iron]

Nathan Vs Heart Round 1

Nathan and Kirlia close their eyes and Kirlia begins to sing and sway rhythmically. Heart can see Nathan fingering an amulet around his neck.

Lucky Chant 1
(5)(5)(2)(1)(2)(5)

Slowking lets out a low Yawn, just as Nathan orders a Yawn. It's kind of unclear whether Slowking is obeying or not.

Yawn 1 on Gustav.
(6)(1)(3)(5)(2)(5)(6)(1)
Gustav gets drowsy!

Bubbles 1
(4)(1)(1)(6)(3) Both Nathan's Pokemon are too distracted to dodge the poorly aimed bubble.
(6)(4)(4) Kirlia takes 3 dmg 4/7hp -1 pain. Solomon takes 2 dmg 8/10hp -1 pain.
Chance: (1)

Flame Wheel 1, since Rose was not targeted by an attack. This is on Kirlia. The two pirouette around each other, but Monferno finds an opening.
(5)(4)(4)(1)(1)
(5)(5)(3) Kirlia takes 2 dmg 2/7hp -2 pain.
Burn: (5)

Calm Mind 2
(2)(1)(1)(4) Nathan's unrest today almost causes Kirlia to lose concentration. Kirlia shoots him an apologetic glance. Through the Lucky Chant, their bond is strengthened in positive ways.
+1 Str, +1 Def

Slowking begins a tradeoff process in his body.
Curse 2
(1)(3)(3)(4)(4)(3)
+1 Str, +1 Defense, -1 Dex.

Bubbles 2
(6)(2)(5)(3)
(3)(1) This time it does no damage, as the Pokemon have buffed themselves.

Flame Wheel 2, holding back.
(5)(4)(1)(1)
(4)(5) Kirlia is out of the battle

Bubbles 3
(1)(2)(2) Another poorly aimed bubble goes splashing into the swamp.

Flame Wheel 3
(5)(4)(5)
(3)(2) Solomon's damp rocky crown protects him.
Burn: (2)

Nathan Vs Heart Round 2

First we have a Pokemon switching phase, and then when that's done you can send your battle orders for Round 2.

[Spiritmon]

"Heh. Great job you two!" Heart cheer up his two Pokemon about the battle perfomance. "Kirlia, you really strong, but we are acostumed for battles too. More or less. Like I say Nathan, Inot going to hold back, not even from a companion of mine. Two including!" Heart was quite excited to continue the battle. Because its inside the battles trainers can know better between each other. Even more companions. Now Heart is quite curious: What Pokemon Nathan will use now?

[Dragonstrike]

"Heh. Great job you two!" Heart cheer up his two Pokemon about the battle perfomance. "Kirlia, you really strong, but we are acostumed for battles too. More or less. Like I say Nathan, Inot going to hold back, not even from a companion of mine. Two including!" Heart was quite excited to continue the battle. Because its inside the battles trainers can know better between each other. Even more companions. Now Heart is quite curious: What Pokemon Nathan will use now?

Kirlia retreats from the battlefield rather ungracefully.  Oooowwww...he didn't even get to attack...that hurt his pride just as much as his body...

"...*sigh*...we'll do better next time, Kirlia.  You set the stage though.  Thank you for that."

Nathan's got his next pokeball palmed.

"...so now we get serious.  Hope you enjoyed the free turn while we set up, Heart."

[Iron]

Heart withdraws his Pokemon and sends out Koa the dragon and Tynamo the Tynamo!

There is a flash of light from Nathan's Pokeball - the scene of a meadow of pink wildflowers rolls over the boring brown mud plaza you're battling on. That means Masq the male Unfezant must be somewhere!

Slowking (male) stays out.

Masq: (6) = 13
Tynamo: (5) + 4 = 9
Slowking 9 after Curse
Koa: (2)


Heart Vs Nathan Round 2

[Iron]

Heart Vs Nathan Round 2

Masq struts out from the illusion, kicking his feet at Heart's male Pokemon. The field is tense with the feel of Rivalry.

Air Cutter 1
(4)(6)(2)(1)(6)(4)(1) Thanks to Lucky Chant, that's a critical hit on both opponents.
(4)(3)(1)(2)(1)(4) Still, as the wind cuts across two opponents, Koa's bulk and Tynamo's electric nature reduces the damage a bit.
Koa takes 2 dmg 4/6hp -1 pain
Evasion from Tynamo: (4)(2)(4)
Tynamo takes 1 dmg 5/6hp

"Slowking, I suggest Power Gem. Tynamo would be a good target."

Slowking is thinking about it.
Loyalty: (5)
Disobedience: (1)(6)

Power Gem 1 - am I right in thinking your calcs don't include pain yet?
(3)(2)(2)(4)(2)(6)
(6)(2)(6)(3)(1) Tynamo takes 2 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain
Slowking's Hard Stone glows with rocklight, and he sends a magical copy to slam against Tynamo.

Koa winds up for a careful Slash against Unfezant. The two circle each other, each knowing this is their greatest moment ever! The time to show who is the most masculine male mon of all!

Slash 1
(4)(2)(4)(2)
(5)(1)(1) No luck! Unfezant has puffed up his chest so much that only feathers are scratched, though at first he looks to have taken a wound!

Air Cutter 2
(3)(4)(1)(6)(6)(3)
(4)(4)(1)(6)
Koa takes 3 dmg. The rival is removed from the battle already! Masq struts around proudly.
Tynamo takes 2 dmg 1/6hp -2 pain.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Marill has 7hp in total, so she's at 3/7hp, not 2/6. Still -2 Pain.
Kyuu is at 4/6hp, -1 Pain.
Crawdaunt is fresh.
Exeggutor is at 4/8hp, -2 Pain.
Foe is at -1 Vitality due to Leer.
We're battling without items and without fainting.




Shiva could only watch a well performance of her psychic kitten in awe. (She kept her arms crossed though to show that she's not interested) He spectacularly hit that palmtree in a quick movement - Marill aided, yay! - , gave it a look to show one shall NOT mess with him, then followed with a display of his own psychic power. He'll be a decent blue psychic cat with two tails and a liking for pranks to annoy the foe one day, that was something her feelings told her...

"Very well, done, Kyuu. Indeed VERY well! Stay tuned and keep on like that, you'll be rewarded later." Kyuu - not Sinkhole - received an appreciating smile from his Master, before her gaze moved on to her blue mouse... That's when her smile faded not, but grew into a different expression. Petty much like (^-^; )
"You did you best, dear one. Don't fret if I'm asking you now to come back to me. Trying out your increased power in channeling water isn't very tactical right now!~"

Instead, her familiar wad of cotton is send out in a quick movement!
