[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Heart stops for a second and greet Shiva. "Shiva, heya." Then Heart hear about the note he left with Nurse Joy and Shiva have read. Heart hear too Shiva asking about what make him change his mind. He stops for a second then answear. "Well to be honest it was because of four reasons: 

1 - Since I have many pokemons with first Pokemon, the only two who cant compet would be Rose and Caesar since they second form, but the others can so I will bring them to battle.

2 - The chance to meet many types of people with different pokemons to know. 

3 - The chance to fight you in battle and fight a strong person and trainer (yeah I consider you a strong trainer). Since I fight Nathan and loose I feel I need to become stronger and stronger, and to fight you will be a great growth for both of us. Not mattering if I win or loose.

"The four reason, well, thats a secret. If you beat me I tell ya. Consider that a reward for beat me, hehehe. A PUNisher deserve have his mysteries dont you think?"

Shiva shivers impercibly at the mentioning of poisonous Caesar, but apart from that keeps her calm and shows no hint of distress, neither a reaction to the dinner yesterday. She only tells him one thing: "Please...m-make sure that Caesar doesn't come near me. I'm sorry, it's n-nothing against you, but... I'm having issues with this evolution line."

Being told that Heart sees her as a strong Trainer(!?) causes Shiva to blink in suprise, processing this opening in her mind, then cutesy looking away to the side to investigate the floor pattern. He...lost against Nathan? Naturally... The thought that she won against him, even when he wasn't using his srongest Pokemon, caused a faint and subtle wave of pride within her, alluring a coy smile. "I'm no strong Trainer, but... I'm learning, I think... The others are more experiences in battling... But, ehm, I, well, I'd look forward to face you at some point, maybe.."  A secret fourth reason caused Shiva to wonder, and finally she faced him again. Enough floor-observing. "Huh... Well, in that case I'm wishing you luck on your matches... See you then, may we both do well and overcome our foes..."

Before she hopped away though, she turned around again. "Oh, and red looks rather well on you, Heart." She seemed happy that it's not only her who's wearing festive attire.


Nathan is in the audience, she will come to him after her matches to ask why he's not participating, to walk back to the GPC together then unless either of them has other plans.

(...) Kirlia finds some more white ribbons and a couple blue-purple ones now as well.

That is something Shiva notices as she subtly throws a glance over to the audience, she's hoping Nathan is doing well among all these people... Ah, no need to worry, he has Kirlia again and that Castform by his side. She doesn't wave as she's not feeling bold enough to do so neither to get distracted from her match too much, but she gives Kirlia a thankful wink before facing the battlefield again. (･ω<)☆

"Oh yes! I hatched all my Pokemon myself. When the right one is bred, with all the right moves learned from its parents, I invest in some TMs to round it out! Happiny, over here!"

Breeder Wendy Round 2

Happiny trots to the dirt indicated and plops down to one knee, waiting for something.

Ember 1

(6)(5)(3)(4) Happiny faints.

"Oh...I had a plan to try to create some shelter...oh well, good start! But I have someone even better! Are you going to stick with Litwick?"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"Oh...That's some nice way to raise the ideal Pokemon. I hope one day your Happiny becomes a glorious Blissey, even if we now...uhm...cancelled your plan... Well done, Litwick, though! Yes, I'll stick with him for now."

"Oh...That's some nice way to raise the ideal Pokemon. I hope one day your Happiny becomes a glorious Blissey, even if we now...uhm...cancelled your plan... Well done, Litwick, though! Yes, I'll stick with him for now."

She sends out Lillipup.
(2) + 6 = 8
Litwick also has 8.
Both have same Dex. 

GM and Bulbapedia imagine Lillipup as the faster, so he will go first.

Flashback

Heart nod in understand. "Understood Shiva. If you need someone to talk about it, I all ears to listen. We are friends after all. I may be a comedian, but you always count with me if you need something. Thats what friends do."

Heart simple smile and then talk once again. "You not strong trainer? And they say I the comedian. You summon the Primal Altaria, could take us to the "End of the Earth", we find the Sage and stop the vines, and you still say you are not strong trainer? Shiva I say with no doubt you are one of the strongest person I ever see. You risk your life to save this City AND his people against a power like the vines, with not much to guide then Legends and inteligent. Be a "Strong Trainer" dont always mean be strong in physical strengh or have all the pokemons and move of the world. It means have a strong mind, heart (no pun intent) and sheer will. And you Shiva, even if you dont believe in yourself, you have a lot of strong will in you, even if you dont believe in yourself. And remember: Even if you dont believe in your inner strengh, me, Nathan, me and more important Ventus, we believe in that strengh. And I sure the others would agree."

"No problemo. I will do my best in the pokemon battles. Me and my team we will do our one hundred percent of strengh!" Heart take his hat and bow in respect to Shiva. "Thank you Lady Shiva. I like red as my costume say heh. Also, black suits you too."

Heart bow in respect and Axew do the same. "Thank you. Axew and I already many battles and battle is our middle name. We have go even to the End of Earth to help save the City from the vines if you cant believe that. Flying Altaria Big as a Skycraper and even meet a glimpse of Earthpower. The power who is inside of earth itself. Respect the nature, and the nature will respect you back." Heart was doing his promise he make to the Sage of Earthpower and spreading the word of the nature. Then Heart looks to Koa. "Koa you did a great job. You deserve some rest. Time to change a bit. Viktor, time to show your moves!" Then Heart bring his next pokemon: The Tree Pokemon Phantump.

Breeder Wendy Round 3


Shiva couldn't help but to be somewhat suprised that a Lilipup, popular among the yet unexperienced Trainers in the region she's originating from, is her second foe to defeat in order to reach the next round of match-ups. Though... They are known among professional Breeders for their versility, their pool of possible egg moves is amazing. If raised properly from the start, they will soon proof themselves a worthy companion... Not to forget that they're cute.

...Enough pondering, there was a battle win! Shiva can call herself lucky that both of her participants of this matchup are still fresh and umharmed. Let's see... "Aodrable dog you have there. Now, Litwick, give us a taste of how confusing light can be, then crown your performance by glowing Embers, SHINE! DAZE US!"


Orders for this Round: Confuse Ray, Ember, Ember, hopefully we'll get through. Naturally any STAB-Normal Type attacks from Lilipup have no effect on ghostly Litwick. Flame Body Ability is still active.

Accuracy Roll Confuse Ray 1: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 3 Actions = 5 d6
Effect: Confuses Lilipup. It's interesting that Confuse Ray has no reduced Accuracy like Hypnosis etc. have.

Accuracy Roll Ember 2: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 4 Actions = 4 d6
Accuracy Roll Ember 3: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 5 Actions = 3 d6
Secondary Effect: Eerily-beautifully illuminating the battliefield even moooore.
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 2 power of the move + 1 STAB + 1 due to Charcoal = 7d6
Additional notes: 1 CD to inflict Burn1.
