[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

It was the using of Little Cup Restrictions as well the promise to not use Grid (right, Dragon?~) in the upcoming battle Shiva-Nathan, @Lord Windos, that made me eventually agree to this suggestion in the end after own pondering + hesitation and Shiva's initiate feeling to slap Nathan with a book shall he ever bring up the idea of a battle towards her... (Sorry, this just felt so in-chara that it had to come from her)

Yes, Nathan's not going to use Grid.  He's limiting himself veeeerrrry heavily cuz...well, reasons.  The Little Cup thing was just something I wanted to do for awhile.  Could have done it with Heart too, I guess, but eh.  Would probably have brought Grid along in that case, though.  Heart can take it. Probably.

I actually didn't mean who wins or looses in the end when I said that, but rather how Shiva clearly said she desires for this to be a friendly and enjoyable battle. Depends on Nathan whether it'll be one, more than on her actually.

'If this ends bad' includes him fainting after/during battle, as I feel Nathan has enough will to prevent this and Shiva has meanwhile developed enough shy but desired self-confidence to not overly care for history repeating itself. Plus, Heart said he'll make dinner!~

I actually own a tarantula in a terrarium. She says hi, as she's currently lurking for prey.

Never implied that who wins is the factor.  Nathan's going to TRY and have fun, but...well, he doesn't usually battle for fun, so...give him a little leeway.  The closer this battle is, the more fun he'll probably have, though.  If he gets curbstomped, well...hopefully Shiva doesn't take it out on him TOO badly...I don't expect Nathan to dominate this battlefield, though.  He's going to be playing at a disadvantage for the most part.

No, that's probably not going to happen again.  That was a...special circumstance.

Nom nom nom.

Unless being openly messed with or feeling like being messed with actually (hello Sinkhole!), Shiva's rather tame in battle. It's Training for Little Cup for her, not much more or less. Of course she's aiming to win, but not for the price of the fun, so rest assured on this.

Can we see a picture of your tarantula?

I always wanted a Chilean Rose Hair.

Ren Round 1

Mud Slap1
(6)(2)(5)(2)(6)
4 dmg -3 vit = 2d6
(6) Purrloin takes 1 dmg 5/6hp
-1 accuracy

Purrloin curls around behind Mudkip, and Mudkip feels a funny feeling where she brushes.

Trick 1
3 Dex + 2 Fight + 2 -3 actions -1 acc = 3d6
(4)(2)(3)
Mudkip gained the Lagging Tail!
Affixed to Mudkip's tail, like a Kick Me sign, is a heavy Onix-like tail, slowing down Mudkip!
Mudkip now goes last.

Purrloin's Dex is increased by Unburden!

Pursuit 2
(3)(2)(6)(5)
3 Str + 2 power +1 stab -3 vit = 3d6
(2)(3)(5) Mudkip takes 1 dmg 5/6hp

Water Gun 2
(4)(1)(2)(6)
(5)(1)(1) Purrloin steps on Mudkip's tail and throws off his aim!

Pursuit 3
(2)(3)(5)
(5)(4)(6) Mudkip takes 3 dmg 2/6hp -2 pain
From this angle, Purrloin has the perfect strike!

Water Gun 3
(5)
(2)(6)(4) Purrloin takes 2 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain.

Ren Round 2

A quick question Iron: It shoudnt be the dice 6d6 of damage? Since the damage I recall its strengh + Power of the move, and since Water Gun its a Water I receive a STAB attack, so its more power. Its 6d6 damage, not 3d6

[Iron]

It's 6 base damage dice, then you subtract the opponent's Vitality (which is 3). So your math was correct, and then the DM has to do a little additional math.

The same thing happens right back atcha: Purrloin uses a 2-power STAB move with Strength 3 and deals 3d6 damage.

Oh right. Understood. I think I should make sure next time to look the base HP of the Pokemon foe...

I always wanted a Chilean Rose Hair.

That was the other species I was pondering to get, but in the end I favoured a tree dweller 'cause their terraria allow more plants. I guess I could still get another one if I'd actually defeat laziness and set up that empty second-hand-terrarium laying around here. Why not get one if you've always wanted one, though...?

Hmm... Also, @Iron, you said 'any' Grass, Fairy and Bug Type can learn Infestation from that TM... I guess I figured out which of my Pokemon will learn it then.

I'd also like to edit things in terms of Shiva WILL work for a whole week at the Shelter to pay off for Gothitelle and keep the current 4k she owns, instead of using half of the money to pay, work up the rest and work the remaining days of the agreed week on a volunteer basis. Just like it was agreed with Director before leaving in direction Arrowroot Village. Alright?

Concerning whether or not Kyuu will evolve and not be able to participate in Little Cup, I made up my mind as well. Found an artwork I kinda like for WHEN he evolves into a Prankster-Meowstic. ^^ (Credit goes to LuciculousPegasus on dA)
