Sinkhole Round 2

Shiva's kitten is not afraid!
Confusion 1
(1)(1)(6)(2)(4) Phew, it makes impact!
(6)(2)(1)(5) Exeggutor takes 1 dmg 3/8hp -2 pain
Conf: (2)

Cottonee summons an eldritch breeze to ruffle Exeggutor's fronds!
Fairy Wind 1
(3)(4)(5)(3)(2)
(5)(1)(3)(1) That does no damage. One of little Exeggutor's heads smiles encouragingly at the little seed.

Exeggutor carefully lifts a foot, balancing by shuffling all its heads, and pins Cottonee rather gently to the ground with it.

Stomp 1
4 Str +2 power -3 vit = 3d6
(2)(6)(6) Cottonee takes 2 dmg 4/6hp -1 pain
Flinch: (6)(2)(4) Cottonee is pinned!

Knock Off 1
(4)(6)(2)(5)(1)
(1)(3)(2)(6) Espurr takes 2 dmg 2/6hp -2 pain
"That's more like it!"
Sinkhole picks up the Pink Apricorn. "How pretty!"

Kyuu lets out a wail and releases all his pent up frustration all at once!
Confusion 2
(2)(5)(4)
(5)(4)(4)(3) Exeggutor takes 2 dmg. He bows deeply to the kitten, from the knees, and waddles off to the sidelines where his master berates him. "Beaten by a tiny Psychic type, what a goon! I hope you have a growth spurt soon so we can win more battles!" This thought seems to cheer up both trainer and Pokemon.

Cottonee is flinched.

"This should do it, Crawdaunt. Avenge the Exeggutor! But be a little careful. This young lady needs her Pokemon all to be energized by the end."
Knock Off 2
(4)(3)(5)(5)
(3)(3)(3)(1) Kyuu takes 1 dmg and is out of the fight.

"We're still going, though, little lady!"

Cottonee responds, "accidentally" blowing Sinkhole's hat from his head as she flies past to get at Crawdaunt.
Mega Drain 3
(3)(5)
(3)(4)(2)(4) Crawdaunt takes 3 dmg 4/7hp -1 pain.
Cottonee heals 1hp 5/6hp -0 pain!

"Haha, pinch her!"

Vicegrip 3
(1)(6)
4 Str + 2 power -3 vit = 3d6
(4)(1)(3) Cottonee takes 1 dmg 4/6hp -1 pain.

"Hah, thanks. You Orthos is quite something too. Just need a bit pratic." Then Heart came a little to Aron and Mudkip. "You both did a awesome battle you two. Even you Netune." Then Heart looks to his little Aron. "You are indeed strong Aron for able to wistand the flames of a Deltamon my good friend. You will grow up as a great Aggron someday. I know that." Then he hug his little armor pokemon. "I shall give you a name now. You fight with great resilience and courage and for this moment I call you...Perceval. The famous knight, Perceval. That shall be your name little one."

Then Heart looks in Nathan direction. "That was quite a awesome battle Nathan, but I fortreit this battle now. I have 4 injured pokemon, and you still have a Calam in your side and Unfezant too. This only show my team is not ready yet to fight you." Then Heart, for the first time, say his full name. "I, ArcHeart, fortreit this pokemon battle." Then he looks to his both Pokemon. "My pokemons already did a awesome battle. When the times come, my team will be strong to fight you again. Someday." Then Heart smile, proud of his pokemon did they best.

[Iron]

Great! Each of you defeated 2 Pokemon. Heart had a more uphill battle, so I will give him 8XP to divide among his Pokemon, and Nathan gets 6XP. Trainers get half of that.

Nathan thinks for a moment...Monferno, Mudkip, and Clauncher...all unscathed...Aron...just about down...Tynamo and Axew...down...

"...might want to rethink that math a little.  Two out, one injured and confused, 3 unscathed.  Solomon isn't impervious, and as you saw, he makes his own decisions occasionally, though I trust his judgement.  A bit more pressure, and you could still turn this around..."

...and then he looks down and sighs, his shoulders sagging, his hands in his coat pockets, the focus he'd had before evaporating extremely rapidly.  "...dang it.  You're certain you don't wish to continue a little longer?  I still need to train Swiftfire a little.  She's soooo close to learning her next move, and I don't want to waste the opportunity..."

[Spiritmon]

"Nah. Next time my friend." Then Heart recalls his Pokemons. "You just too strong for my taste yet. Tynamo isn't even evolve yet to Eeletrik. Also you need to admit, my team its not enough strong yet to fight you. The only evolve Pokemon is Rose who is second evolution, and the others still in their first form. And you have a strong Calamity Pokemon, and Rapidash is quick and powerfull. Besides, you must admit that battle was very cool and fun. You need to learn to relax a bit more bro." Then Heart remember something. "I think its the first time you hear my full name. "ArcHeart". Heh. Its been years since I use that name." Then Heart decided to change the topic. "Well, I would like your help. Ventus tell me you have a eletric type pokemon with you and I trying to make Tynamo evolve to his next form as Eeletrik and I would like to ask your help."

Well, this victory certainly feels a little more hollow now...Kirlia quietly sighs.  So much for cheering Nathan up a little more...well, at least Lucky Chant worked...that seemed to help...

"...you should give yourself more credit.  Things could have very easily swung in your favor again if you kept the pressure on instead of trying to evade."

Nathan doesn't comment on Heart's full name, nor the relaxation suggestion.  Just scratches Orthros behind the ears as he continues to the next topic.

"Yeah, I've got a Joltik.  I'm not bringing him out here, though.  That'd be a terrible idea.  He'd likely consume every last spark in this place by himself if I let him recharge here."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Exeggutor out of the fight
Crawdaunt at 4/7hp
Kyuu out of the fight
Cottonee at 4/6hp and about to avenge
Foe at -1 Vitality due to Leer


Sinkhole Round 3


There where two patterns of emotion dwelling side by side in Shiva's inner, both where equaliy strong and prominent. They could barely be more different from eahc other and while they where somewhat connected, they didn't mixed themselves to a mess, nor was much of that visible on the outside.

One of those was gratification that her dear psychic kitten was able to defeat a much bigger Psychic Type(!) practically in a solo-run. He displayed bravery, eager and no fear at all, he gave everything in his psychic powers. Shiva was holding the Ball he was contained in a little longer and more firmly in her hand after she has recalled him and before putting it away, silently being thankful that he belonged to her. He may...origin from the creepy dreamworld, yes, but she refused to think of that now.
The second was silent rage against her foe. Not only did he berate his Pokemon for having lost to her Espurr - althought she didn't got the feeling that Exeggutor was feeling bad - but also... In fact, she only glared at her opponent, arms still crossed and her voice capable to freeze the whole scene. "Of course that Apricorn's pretty. IT'S ALSO MINE. Either you give it back to me later, or..." "Also, STOP LAUGHING and send in a new Pokemon before my Cottonee teaches you respect once more."

"Who knows? Maybe I could win, or not. I like a avoid style to evade hurt much, but I think I will follow your advice and attack more. Calam and Swifire would complicated to deal later."

"Thats a shame though. I was hoping I could evolve Tynamo to his next form, but I think we might need to wait until we get some energy I guess. Anyway, thanks the battle Nathan Drake."

(Pass though the Pokemon Center to heal my pokemon and find another pokemon battle. I still have a Encounter right? 600 Pokedollar. Also teaching Clauncher Water Pulse for 34 XP. Here the team I gonna use: Rose, Gustav, Viktor, Koa, Aron and Mudkip. Time to train Mudkip and Aron for the incoming battle against Claydoll. And test a bit the Water Pulse of Clauncher. Faint Rule)

[Iron]

Sinkhole palms another Pokeball. "We'll discuss the Apricorn when the battle is over! And I'll send out my next Pokemon at the same time as you, on three. Gotta follow those League rules, after all! One...two..."

[Iron]

Heart looks around for battlers. Almost all of them have been exhausted by your strong party's arrival, but you find one more - the Waxworker of Arrowroot.

He looks up from his clay hive boxes, catches your gaze, and says "I'm ready!"

Time to send out a Pokemon!
