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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Weavile pops out of his pokeball when his name is mentioned.  Oh.  It's HER.

Hmph.

Reiner's not really fazed either, obviously.  He's smirking too, actually.

"Exactly what I expect from ya.  However..."

One dose of Lightspeed for Cloyster!  Initiative smitiative!  Cloyster's now going first for the round!  He also uses a Full Heal to cure her Paralysis!

And then Reiner also uses one of his uses of Trick on Cloyster to give her a Life Orb in exchange for the Empty Syringe! (third action, so gonna have to roll for it instead of auto succeeding.  4* Dex + 5 Fight + 3 Canalize - 5 Actions = 7 D6)

"...this is far from over still.  Cloyster, up the ante!  You're goin' out guns blazing!"

Shell Smash! (let's throw in a conditional Will Point here again.)
Accuracy: 4* Dex + 5 Fight + 2 Brawl - 5 Actions = 6 D6
Effect: +2 Strength and Dex, -2 Defense!

Icicle Spear x4!
Accuracy: 6* Dex + 5 Fight + 3 Canalize + 5 Skill Link - 6/7/8/9 actions = 13/12/11/10 D6
Damage: 7* Strength + 1 Power + STAB - 6* defense + 2 Life Orb (if Trick works) = 5 D6 + 1 Damage per hit (it could still KO, even if Trick fails, so let's give it a shot!)
Effect: Still consecutive actions!  Has added recoil from Life Orb if Trick succeeds, though.

Clair Arendse Battle Round 6!

Your cousin cheerfully and somehow viscously double flips Weavile off when releases himself on the field, as she loathed the black feline with all her heart and soul for essentially being the catalyst for your deviant and criminal activity before and after your exile from Blackthron!  She was ALSO the one that mostly handled KOing them and throwing them back into the Ice  Path, due to being his kleptomaniac self + trying to keep him from a bad influence to you (to no avail, to her utter dismay). Naturally, such interaction didn't endear him to Clair in any way, shape, or form, but to what extent he returns their contempt is up entirely up in the air. [AKA: You handle his reaction, if you want!]

"Well, look who dragged himself out of the box he should've stay trapped in! Now wait your turn, you blackened piece of dogshit, and I'll  have my Dragons work you over REAL nice and pluck those feathers from your head, just like old times! I can't wait for it, can you?" She crackled as she said them and rubbed her hands together in anticipation for such an event......but suddenly stopped when you administered both the Lightspeed and the Full Heal to Cloyster AND tried to demonstrate MORE of your Psychic powers!

Trick
(3)(5)(3)(5)(3)(5)(3) Huh, that's a pretty pattern! Also, Success!
Cloyster now has the Life Orb equipped! Uses of Trick Left: 1

"Wait, what the fuck did I just see? You.....You used a Trick on Cloyster to switch its Held Item, and gave it DRUGS TOO?! That's......THAT'S GODDAMN FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE, ON TOP OF DIRTY, CROCKED, AND UNFAIR! FIRST YOUR RHYPERIOR USED AN OHKO MOVE TO CHEESE HIS WAY PAST MY GYARADOS, AND NOW YOU ARE USING SCUMBAG, CHEATY TACTICS! *Uncrosses her arms and clenches her hands into claws* RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR, THAT DOES IT! I'M GOING TO  TEACH YOU A LESSON BY TEARING YOU AND YOUR POKEMON NEW ASSHOLES!!!" she screamed, clearly unimpressed and infuriated with your choice of tactics. So much so that the purple glow coming from her eyes become more intense, with the M.R. shinning even brighter in response! Oh shitballs!

Clair gains another point of STR , Defense, and DEX; She and all her Pokémon become to Immune to Flitch and Sleep: Double STAB and High Crit on all Dragon Moves! - 1 more Willpoint, Insight and Knowledge; Backlash from Damaging Moves Doubled, user becomes MUCH more aggressive! Rest of Downsides Still Hidden! Level 2 of Megido Revelations activated.

Clair's Decision
(6)(4)

Your now borderline berserk cousin then throws a X Defense to her Dragonite, increasing their Defense by 2! Clair then extend her left hand towards Cloyster/You, and makes a sweeping/tearing motion while angrily shouting out her next command! "DRAGONITE, ENDURE, RECOVER, THEN SEND THAT CLOYSTER FLYING!" Her dragoness responded with a throatly *Grrrrrwoooar!* in response, her expression become severe and viscous as they stared down their opponent. That shellfish made her master mad. Now she's going to make them unconscious.

Meanwhile, your no longer as cheerful bivalve friend was having an 'Oh Shit!' at the almost murderous intent radiating from both the Gym Leader and her dragon, and immediately used the Initiative boost from the Lightspeed to hastily reconfigure themselves for all out assault, before firing off chucks of ice like they were bullets!

Shell Smash
(2)(5)(4)(4)(2)(1)
Cloyster gains + 2 STR and DEX, and loses 2 Defense!

Icicle Spear!
1st: (5)(4)(4)(5)(6)(6)(6)(1)(1)(1)(3)(4)(6) Pow! Critical Hit!
2nd: (5)(3)(1)(3)(6)(6)(4)(3)(2)(1)(2)(3) Hit!
3rd: (5)(3)(5)(5)(1)(4)(4)(3)(2)(1)(2) Sadly not a Crit, but its a Hit!
4th: (4)(2)(4)(1)(6)(2)(3)(3)(6)(3) Also not a Crit, but just a Hit! Man the dice sure are stingy with them right now....
Total Damage: [(5)(2)(5)(4)] (6)(1) (2)(3) (3)(1) + (4 * SE [Surprise!] )=  Dragonite takes 8 Damage; also, forgot to account for the Backlash from Thunder Punch and Wrap last Round, so that's another 2 Damage! 4/18 HP , - 2 Pain!
Recoil: Total Damage Inflicted was 8 from the moves, so rolling 8 Potential Recoil Damage
(5)(2)(5)(3)(3)(4)(1)(5) Cloyster takes 4 Damage; 5/10 HP , - 1 Pain!

The original dragon is nearly floored by the impenetrable shellfish's frigid barrage, but they grit their teeth and suffer through the damage like a champ! She has endure their assault like their master had ordered! Time for some retribution.

Said sea creature's eyes skrink into pinpricks and to begin sweating furiously as they realize this fact for themselves when their opponent ....

Dragonite's Decision
(4)(2)

...briefly rests off some of the damage, punched one impressively sparking fist into their other open palm, before they rushed blitzed the ever loving water out of them.

Roost
Accuracy: DEX (*5) + Fight (*6) + Nature (0) - 5 Actions - 2 Pain (Nullified by Inner Focus) = 6D6 Dice
(4)(6)(6)(1)(3)(1) Success
(4)(6)(4)(5)(6)(4)(4)(5)(4) Dragonite recovers 9 HP ; 13/18 HP , - 1 Pain ; Roost Uses Left: 1

Thunder Punch Barrage! (1-4)
Accuracy: DEX (*6) + Fight (*6) + Brawl (5) - 1 Pain - 6/7/8/9 Actions = 11/10/9/8D6 Dice
Damage: STR (*8) + 3 + SE - Vitality (5) = 6D6 + 1 Base Damage Per Hit
1st: (6)(1)(5)(1)(2)(1)(4)(3)(2)(6)(1) Hit!
2nd: (6)(1)(2)(6)(6)(4)(4)(4)(4)(1) MUDA! Critical Hit! 
3rd: (2)(4)(2)(4)(3)(2)(1)(4)(4) Hit!
4th: (4)(5)(5)(1)(5)(4)(5)(3) MUDA! Critical Hit!
Total Damage: [(5)(6)(3)(5)(2)(2)] [(5)(6)(5)(6)(1)(1)(4)(6)] 
Paralysis: (3) (6)
Dragonite utterly DECIMATES Cloyster in just a couple of blows, knocking it clear out! Victory to Clair this match........?
Dragonite takes 5 Total Damage from Backlash, plus the 2 Damage she should have received from using Thunder Punch and Wrap last round!! 6/18 HP!

.....Wait. Something's wrong. The Dragonite still looks livid, and a sense of dread well up within as you see it standing imposingly over Cloyster as it contemplates something....

Dragonite's Decision
(1)(2)

Oh no.

[(3)(3)(4)(6)(5)(6)] [(3)(1)(5)(6)(5)(6)(4)(2)]
Paralysis: It doesn't matter at this point.
Dragonite takes 5 Damage from Backlash. 1/18 HP

Wrath, Indignation, and VENGENCE clouded its mind as the savage, primal, and draconic energies of Megido's Revelation overrided their restraint and empathy. Without a shread of remorse, Dragonite continued wailing on Cloyster, beating it well past the point of reason until.....until.....

She was dead.

Cloytser has died.

The dragoness snorted at the now dead bivalve the layed within their grasping tail, before they swung it around and contemptuously threw her dead body away, with it flying past you and colliding with the ground with a *THUD* . The target has been DESTROYED, just like her master ordered her......

Clair's Reaction
(3)(3)

Instead of being horrified or shocked about her Dragonite killing your Cloyster , Clair....Clair just began laughing. Bonechiling, terrorfying, deranged, and totally maniacal laughter.

 "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! EXCELLENT JOB, DRAGONITE! THAT'LL MORE THAN TEACH MY COUSIN FOR BEING A DIRTY CHEATER, WON'T IT?! AHAHAHAHA, LET'S FINISH OFF THE REST OF HIS TEAM, TEAR THEM ALL TO SHREADS, AND CLAIM WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Clair has become Berserk due to both the power of the Megido Revelation, and as at result of her mental self defense/trauma against the knowledge she killed one of your Pokémon. Berserk is identical to the side effects generated by Psycho, except the user has to Roll Insight + Knowledge to determine if they act savagely/viscously (IE: Use Lethal Attacks/Attacks Lethally, use moves/move combinations that are inherently deadily/highly dangerous, or continuing to attack a Fainted being) or ‘restrain their urges’. Person personality becomes unhinged/deranged/distorted, in addition to cruelly calculating, extremely viscous/wrathful/predatory,  quite greedy and passonate, and easily provoked.  Berserk ends when the User is KOed, is snapped out of it (Method determines how the roll for that is done, it works like waking up with Sleep, only needing 7 Successes to end Status), force feeding them 2 Perssim or 1 Lum Berry (Have to Grapple Target [You don't have to keep them Grappled, just have to Succeed the roll] , and make a DEX + Fight + Brawl Roll per berry) , or the user themselves calms down (Usually after commiting countless atrocities or finishing off what caused them to go Berserk in the first place).

FUCK. What are you going to do now?!

Told you so, little drake~ Hopefully you have a plan to handle her as she is now, of you are rather fucked. Oh well, good luck~!

[Lord Windos]

(I should bring Asura then to take care of the situation then? He would be more willing to hear my orders and his attacks could cause some good neutral damage. Any toughs Windos? Also you have to wait a bit about make the rolls to give me time to think what strategy I should do.)

(Asura is an excellent choice, as he can deal more than decent damage to them, and even if he disobeys he'll still end up doing something useful regardless! Other than that, you could go with Baltazar and try to Confuse them, but he'll have to beware their Steel type attacks! Also, take your time making those rolls, or just list the moves you want to use and I'll calculate them for you if need be!)

[Dragonstrike]

Weavile just ignores her, as usual.

...well, up until things start going horribly wrong...this definitely isn't the Clair he's far too familiar with...he's actually shocked.  She's usually somewhat mean, yes...but never cruel...

Reiner hangs his head and sighs.  It's a VERY good thing that he's under the effects of Zen State right now.

"...Clair...you're losing yourself to Megido's Revelation, stretching yourself too thin.  Snap out of it, or you're going to do something you'll really regret later.  Like killing me.  Or Mew.  And I don't think you want to do either of those things, so either calm down, or let me help you calm down."

'Reiner hands Mew a Lum Berry and uses an X Speed on her behind his back while saying that last part, covertly giving her orders once again.  'Mew, force feed her that Lum Berry while she's distracted if she doesn't calm down.  And do it quickly.'

Rhyxemplar's on the battlefield IMMEDIATELY.  He was NOT going to let this Dragonite stay standing after THAT!  (good thing he's got both a ridiculous amount of dex and the best possible initiative roll)

"...Gear Grind EX, Rhyxemplar.  Do NOT use lethal force."

Gear Grind EX (learning it for 23 EXP!)
Accuracy: 10* Dex + 5 Fight + 2 Brawl - 2 Accuracy - 1 Pain - 5/6/7/8/9 Actions = 9/8/7/6/5 D6
Damage: 2 Power + 4* Strength + 1 STAB - 9* Defense = 1 D6 minimum per hit, even if it crits...only have to do 1 damage though to KO Dragonite, so hopefully this works...
Effect: Even more consecutive actions!

Clair Arendse Battle Round 7!?

Weavile is naturally horrified about his fellow Ice type getting DECIMATED by Dragonite and Clair losing her FRICKEN MIND, but in the middle of all that their was a sense of.....disquieted anger? What's more, the fury wasn't direct at the Gym Leader herself or her dragon, but rather something or someone that was.....responsible for this? What, where the heck was he getting THIS sensation from? Grah, ignore it for later, focus on rampaging Dragons now!!!

The now more draconic than not woman perked up when you began to caution her, causing them to directed their attention squarely on YOU....

Calming Clair Down - Rational Perssausion : Insight (2) + Knowledge (2) + 1/2 Empathy [Penalty due to her being Berserk] (5) = 9D6 Dice
(3)(6)(6)(2)(6)(6)(5)(2)(1) 5 Successes
Berserker Clair's Resistance: Will (3) + Fight (*6) + Channel (5) = 14D6 Dice
(3)(3)(5)(6)(1)(5)(5)(6)(6)(4)(6)(2)(6)(5) 10 Successes
Result: No progress made toward Calming Clair down. She is still distracted, though!

....before she dementedly giggles, and waves you off. "Oh, I ENTIRELY disagree with you, MY little dragon~! I'm in COMPLETE CONTROL of myself right now; in fact, I'VE NEVER FELT MORE EXCITED AND THRILLED IN MY LIFE, AHAHAHA!!!  *Giggles* Sure, your Shellder was pulped and friend by my Dragonite, but that's MORE THAN FAIR GAME for your dirty, UNFAIR tricks you pulled until now, so suck it up and DEAL with it little dragon! Besides, you can just revive her later with that freaky necromancy of Mew's, if your heart honestly bleeds THAT much over a Pokémon you acquired recently!"

Your cousin then adopted a pose that was very......unnerving. (Experssion: Clair's Creepy Face ) "My little dragon, I would NEVER harm you or Mew! You are much too precious for me to tear out your throats! *Giggles, then erupts into that Laughter*

Mew, though, manages to contain her own discomfort over Clair and co going loco-coco through experience/numbness , sheer bloody mindedness , and the fact that she actually EXPECTED to go horribly wrong. 'Reiner, would it a terrible thing to say that I totally saw this coming? Not Cloytser getting killed, Arceas forbid no, but your cousin flying off the handle and begin acting like a Sunday morning cartoon villain? After seeing her lose her shit in the Tea Shop and observing her moderate mental prowess, I knew sooner or later that Megido's Revelation would overwhelm her in some aspect.... No wonder the other Legends and Mythics are so reluctant to talk about this Cursed Arm, if turns people and their Pokémon into super powerful berserkers bent on conquest and destruction.......'

Your divine feline Partner then shakes her head and lets out a weary sigh, before accepting the X Speed (Using it immediately) and Lum Berry  you discretely handed her. 'What's done is done, though, and all we really can do at this point is try calm them down before things become even MORE dire. Oh, fuck you for mandating such intervention in this battle, Windos......!'

Mew joins combat! Since Mew and the Trainers are becoming directly involved now, rolling Initiative for Mew, Reiner, and Clair!

Mew: DEX (*6) + Survival (3) + (3) = 12
Reiner: DEX (*4) + 3 + (2) = 9
Clair: DEX (*5) + Survival (*4) + (5) = 14

Current Round Order: Rhyxemplar, Dragonite, Clair, Mew, Reiner

Clair's Decision
(5)(4) She's 'merciful' this round!

The dragoness, even in her more savage, primal state of mind, could tell that knight was going to batter them senseless if she doesn't move quick enough......which she does so by suddenly manifesting an flowing shell of water around herself, before blasting off into him!

Aqua Jet
Accuracy: 17D6 Accuracy - 5 Actions - 3 Pain = 12D6 Dice
(1)(4)(3)(4)(5)(4)(6)(3)(6)(1)(1)(6) The metal kaiju is thoroughly drenched and launched into the air! Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (*8) + 2 + Crit + SE - Vitality (*6) = 6D6 + 1 Damage
(4)(5)(4)(5)(4)(1) Both Rhyxemplar and Dragonite are knocked out and water logged due to the sheer power of the move!

Berserk Clair is swift to recall her fallen dragon with a very sastified and proud expression, and let out a throaty crackle. "AHAHAHAHA, YOU DID A LOVELY PERFORMANCE OF TAKING THAT KNIGHT DOWN WITH YOU, MY DRAGONITE! WITHOUT THEM AROUND, ITS GOING TO BE FAR EASIER TO CLAIM WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE , SO YOUR SACRIFICE WON'T BE IN VAIN!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

Once she is done gloating over this, she tears her next Pokeball off and snaps it out onto the battlefield, summoning her Aerodacytl , who in an instant scattered a myriad amount of sharp, pointy stones on your side of the field (Surprise Triggered!) !

While the overly draconic Gym Leader was doing this, though, Mew was attempting to ghost invisibly behind them!

Mew's Ambush: DEX (*6) + Survival (3) + Stealth (*5 [Due to being invisible]) = 14D6 Dice
(1)(4)(1)(3)(4)(2)(1)(1)(2)(1)(6)(5)(5)(1) 2 Successes, that just BAD! ('OH FUCK YOU DICE!!!')
Clair's Alertness: Insight (*1) + Survival (*4) + Alert (3) = 8D6
(4)(3)(4)(4)(4)(1)(2)(5) 5 Successes Ruh Roh

Either she heard their approach or the M.R. was giving them super senses, because Clair suddenly jolt as she detect the pink panther's presence, before they whirled around and blindly backhanded them!

Knockdown
Accuracy: STR (*7) + Fight (*6) + Brawl (5) + Caught Ya! (2) = 20D6 Dice!
(2)(3)(6)(6)(5)(3)(1)(5)(2)(2)(1)(2)(4)(1)(6)(3)(4)(2)(5)(5) The Mythic (Still invisible, mind you!) is catapulted right back to your side, losing her grip on her the Lum Berry in the process! Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (*7) + 0 + STAB  + Crit - Vitality (*8) = 2D6 Dice
(4)(1) Mew takes 1 Damage and is Knocked Down! 11/12 HP!
Lum Berry Trajectory: (4) The medical item is sent faaaaar away into the thick grass. It'll take Mew 1 Round to go to the location, and 2 Rounds to find/return with the Lum Berry before she can try this again!

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?! GRAH, WELL, WHATEVER IT WAS I MUST HAVE SENT IT FLYING, SO THAT'LL TEACH WHATEVER WILD POKEMON FROM SNEAKING UP ON ME!!!"

Well, your entire plan went to pot. Time to improvise before its too late..... What will be your next Pokémon?

Ah, I see! Your plan it to inflate Clair's ego by letting her run rampant over your team, so that my witch of a little sister gets knocked around trying to force feed her the Lum while she's distracted! Brilliant, I say, Brilliant! Well, not really, but it IS entertaining to watch, so thank you for that, little drake! Hehehehe!

[Lord Windos]

"Heh, you think I going to simple give up and get away. I think not. Melchior. Gaspar. I dont think we can simple go against that strong defences. Return!" Then Arial return Gaspar and Melchior. "Time to bring the bigger guns. Sekmet! Asura! Show them you strengh!" Then Arial brings the giant nuclear bug pokemon and the king of the jungle. "Sekmet, Asura, I need both of your help to beat that Delta Muk. I need him alive at any cost okay? First of all, Sekmet use Fire Blast two times against Muk. Asura, use Cross Chop if you can hit him first! Then go ahead and use Drain Punch! If you cant use two Drain Punchs instead!

Speed Tie between Delta Muk and Sekmet. Doing a Coin Flip to determine who goes first [Heads is Delta Muk, Tails is Sekmet]: (Tails)
New Initiative: Sekmet, Delta Muk, Asura, and Shiny Gligar

The queen of nuclear green gives you a positive *BrrrZzzzrt!* , before they start glowing a bright crimson red and then release a massive fiery conflagration!

FIRE BLAST
Accuracy: Its 2D6, due to inherent Inaccuracy of the move!
(3)(2) Unfortunately, Delta Muk contracts its slimy mass just in time to avoid being singed!

Seeing as you not only refused to leave even when they denied fighting your Pokémon and request you leave, but you were ALSO trying to slag it with deadily Fire type moves, the pile of sentient sludge has had ENOUGH. They close in on Sekmet after they pull themselves together, before letting out a nasty, racid *BUUUUUURP!* into her face! That'll teach her!

Blech
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (3) + Channel (3) - 1 Accuracy - 3 Actions = 5D6 Dice
(6)(3)(4)(1)(5) Hit!
Damage: STR (3) + 5 + STAB + SE - Vitality (3) = 6D6 + 1 Damage!
(2)(1)(3)(2)(1)(5) Sekmet takes 1 Damage; 10/11 HP!

Asura, on the other hand.....

Loyalty: (2) Disobedience: (1)(4)(5)

.....didn't listen to your orders, as the god king had a MUCH better idea, rubbing their paws together deviously while sharpening them at the same time!

Hone Claws
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (2) + Brawl (2) - 2 Actions = 5D6 Dice
(5)(3)(4)(5)(3)
Asura's STR and Accuracy are increased by 1!

Annoyed/upset at being Disable in the prior round,  Shiny Gligar grumply glided over to the metal slime and racked their pincer across its body with all their might, dark energy trailing off it the whole time!

Night Slash
Accuracy: 13D6 Dice  - 3 Actions - Extra Lethal Hit (4)= 6D6 Dice
(5)(6)(4)(4)(3)(4) They found a weak point in their slimy hide, and gouged out a disguisting chuck! Extra Lethal Critical Hit!

(3)(4)(6) Delta Muk takes 2 Lethal Damage; 8/10 HP , - 1 Pain , 2 Lethal Damage

Sekmet was more than a little startled at how brutally the little scorpiobat tore into the putrid, poisonous Pokémon, but they got over it quickly enough to let loose yet another scorching hot attack at their opponenet!

FIRE BLAST 2
(4) Hits!
(4) Delta Muk takes 1 Damage; 6/10 HP !
Burn 3: (6) *Sizzle Burble POP!* Delta Muk is consumed in flames! - 3 STR!
Aftermath: (5)(1)(3) Delta Muk takes an additional 1 Damage! 5/10 HP !

Ok, not only is it currently bleeding out from a wound that bat inflicted, it was now ON FIRE. Stay calm, stay calm......screw that! Time for some retaliation! With thoughts of RETRIBUTION in their mind, Delta Muk turned towards Shiny Gligar, and let loose a MASSIVE flack shot at them!

Metal Burst
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (3) + Channel (3) - 1 Pain - 4 Actions = 4D6 Dice
(3)(5)(4)(6) Hit!
Damage: Night Slash's Damage Pool + 2 = 5D6 Dice
(6)(2)(3)(6)(5) Shiny Gligar takes 3 Damage; 3/6 HP , - 2 Pain !

The King of the Jungle frowns as one of his subjects is greviously harmed by the unruly Muk, and decided to teach the welp a lesson by rushing forward towards it, couching down, and then trying to sweep their feet/sucker pad out from under them!

Low Kick
Accuracy: DEX (3)+ Fight (2) + Brawl (2) + Hone Claws (1) - 3 Actions = 5D6 Dice
(6)(6)(5)(5)(5) The blow is so strong, it causes the metal slime to briefly implode from the force! Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (*3) + *5 + STAB + Crit - Vitality (*8) = 3D6 Dice
(6)(5)(2)Delta Muk takes 2 Damage; 3/10 HP , - 2 Pain !

Not at all pleased with almost laided low by improtu buckshot, the scorpiobat viscously attack the Delta yet again with sharp, blackened pincers!

Night Slash 2
Accuracy: 5D6 Dice
(4)(5)(1)(1)(2) The attack slices into them like a knife through racid butter. Extra Lethal Hit.
Damage: Just 1D6 Dice
(4) Delta Muk takes 1 Lethal Damage; 2/10 HP , 3 Lethal Damage

Sekmet is out of moves, and so is Asura! But not Delta Muk. Oh no, they still have quite the amount of fight left in them! Trapped and smothered in sand, being torn into pieces, set on FIRE, and getting the slime almost beaten out of them.....and to top it all off, they were trying to kill them despite him plainly 'telling' them he wants to be left alone to enjoy his brunch.

That DOES IT!

In seconds after that though, the sentient pile of sludge lights up in a ominous and ghastly light.....before they let out a defiant *GURGLE!* and goes *Ka-Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom.*

EXPLOSION
Accuracy: 9D6 Base Dice - 2 Pain - 5 Moves = 2D6 Dice
(5)(2) It hits. EVERYONE.
Damage: STR (3) + 10 - Vitality ( 3 for EVERYONE) = 10D6 Lethal Damage
You: (4)(3)(4)(5)(6)(4)(1) You take 5 Lethal Damage! Oh, SHIT!
Sekmet: (3)(5)(6)(3)(2)(3)(6) Sekmet takes 3 Lethal Damage! 7/11 HP , - 2 Pain, 3 Lethal Damage!
Asura: (6)(3)(4)(1)(1)(1)(1) Asura somehow tanks the blow and survives unscathed!
Shiny Gligar: (1)(5)(6)(5)(1)(1)(3) Shiny Gligar takes 2 Damage! 1/6 HP , 2 Lethal Damage!

That was the last thing you saw, before everthy went white.......................................










Have You Died?



...

....

....

You find youself in the black, infinite, and empty void of Limbo once more. It feels almost as if you are returning home, in a way. You slowly feel your mind grow hazy, as the lifeless expanse leeches the last dregs of your life fade away.......

......until it suddenly stops.

Well well well well well.

A hauntingly familiar voice trickles through your lingering consciousness, and you could FEEL my introspective gaze linger on your immaterial form.

I figured I wouldn't get yourself wasted for quite awhile, with the devil's luck you usually possess, but I guess fate can create all sorts odd outcomes, can't they?

My two giant, glowing yellow irises appear hovering above your spirit, and you felt my chuckle ripple through it.

Oh well, life will go on without you, I suppose. Its not as if their are not others that can't assist my other ally on their quest, after all~

.....Unless you still desire live, yes?

Hehehe.....oh yes, I can still see you stubbornly cling to life, even as the life void of Limbo withers away your life force.

Tell me, Arial Copycat Schrodinger: Would you do anything to live? Anything at all, no matter how vile or loathsome it is to you?

"Heh, you think I going to simple give up and get away. I think not. Melchior. Gaspar. I dont think we can simple go against that strong defences. Return!" Then Arial return Gaspar and Melchior. "Time to bring the bigger guns. Sekmet! Asura! Show them you strengh!" Then Arial brings the giant nuclear bug pokemon and the king of the jungle. "Sekmet, Asura, I need both of your help to beat that Delta Muk. I need him alive at any cost okay? First of all, Sekmet use Fire Blast two times against Muk. Asura, use Cross Chop if you can hit him first! Then go ahead and use Drain Punch! If you cant use two Drain Punchs instead!

Sekmet: 5 + (6) = 11
Asura: 5 +  (5) = 10

Speed Tie between Delta Muk and Sekmet. Doing a Coin Flip to determine who goes first [Heads is Delta Muk, Tails is Sekmet]: (Tails)
New Initiative: Sekmet, Delta Muk, Asura, and Shiny Gligar

The queen of nuclear green gives you a positive *BrrrZzzzrt!* , before they start glowing a bright crimson red and then release a massive fiery conflagration!

FIRE BLAST
Accuracy: Its 2D6, due to inherent Inaccuracy of the move!
(3)(2) Unfortunately, Delta Muk contracts its slimy mass just in time to avoid being singed!

Seeing as you not only refused to leave even when they denied fighting your Pokémon and request you leave, but you were ALSO trying to slag it with deadily Fire type moves, the pile of sentient sludge has had ENOUGH. They close in on Sekmet after they pull themselves together, before letting out a nasty, racid *BUUUUUURP!* into her face! That'll teach her!

Blech
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (3) + Channel (3) - 1 Accuracy - 3 Actions = 5D6 Dice
(6)(3)(4)(1)(5) Hit!
Damage: STR (3) + 5 + STAB + SE - Vitality (3) = 6D6 + 1 Damage!
(2)(1)(3)(2)(1)(5) Sekmet takes 1 Damage; 10/11 HP!

Asura, on the other hand.....

Loyalty: (2) Disobedience: (1)(4)(5)

.....didn't listen to your orders, as the god king had a MUCH better idea, rubbing their paws together deviously while sharpening them at the same time!

Hone Claws
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (2) + Brawl (2) - 2 Actions = 5D6 Dice
(5)(3)(4)(5)(3)
Asura's STR and Accuracy are increased by 1!

Annoyed/upset at being Disable in the prior round,  Shiny Gligar grumply glided over to the metal slime and racked their pincer across its body with all their might, dark energy trailing off it the whole time!

Night Slash
Accuracy: 13D6 Dice  - 3 Actions - Extra Lethal Hit (4)= 6D6 Dice
(5)(6)(4)(4)(3)(4) They found a weak point in their slimy hide, and gouged out a disguisting chuck! Extra Lethal Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (2) + 3 + Hyper Cutter (2) + Crit (2) + Extra Lethal Hit (2) - Vitality (*8) =3D6 Damage
(3)(4)(6) Delta Muk takes 2 Lethal Damage; 8/10 HP , - 1 Pain , 2 Lethal Damage

Sekmet was more than a little startled at how brutally the little scorpiobat tore into the putrid, poisonous Pokémon, but they got over it quickly enough to let loose yet another scorching hot attack at their opponenet!

FIRE BLAST 2
(4) Hits!
(4) Delta Muk takes 1 Damage; 6/10 HP !
Burn 3: (6)(4)(4) *Sizzle Burble POP!* Delta Muk is consumed in flames!
Aftermath: (5)(1)(3) Delta Muk takes an additional 1 Damage! 5/10 HP !

Ok, not only is it currently bleeding out from a wound that bat inflicted, it was now ON FIRE. Stay calm, stay calm......screw that! Time for some retaliation! With thoughts of RETRIBUTION in their mind, Delta Muk turned towards Shiny Gligar, and let loose a MASSIVE flack shot at them!

Metal Burst
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (3) + Channel (3) - 1 Pain - 4 Actions = 4D6 Dice
(3)(5)(4)(6) Hit!
Damage: Night Slash's Damage Pool + 2 = 5D6 Dice
(6)(2)(3)(6)(5) Shiny Gligar takes 3 Damage; 3/6 HP , - 2 Pain !

The King of the Jungle frowns as one of his subjects is greviously harmed by the unruly Muk, and decided to teach the welp a lesson by rushing forward towards it, couching down, and then trying to sweep their feet/sucker pad out from under them!

Low Kick
Accuracy: DEX (3)+ Fight (2) + Brawl (2) + Hone Claws (1) - 3 Actions = 5D6 Dice
(6)(6)(5)(5)(5) The blow is so strong, it causes the metal slime to briefly implode from the force! Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (*3) + *5 + STAB + Crit - Vitality (*8) = 3D6 Dice
(6)(5)(2)Delta Muk takes 2 Damage; 3/10 HP , - 2 Pain !

Not at all pleased with almost laided low by improtu buckshot, the scorpiobat viscously attack the Delta yet again with sharp, blackened pincers!

Night Slash 2
Accuracy: 5D6 Dice
(4)(5)(1)(1)(2) The attack slices into them like a knife through racid butter. Extra Lethal Hit.
Damage: Just 1D6 Dice
(4) Delta Muk takes 1 Lethal Damage; 2/10 HP , 3 Lethal Damage

Sekmet is out of moves, and so is Asura! But not Delta Muk. Oh no, they still have quite the amount of fight left in them! Trapped and smothered in sand, being torn into pieces, set on FIRE, and getting the slime almost beaten out of them.....and to top it all off, they were trying to kill them despite him plainly 'telling' them he wants to be left alone to enjoy his brunch.

That DOES IT!

In seconds after that though, the sentient pile of sludge lights up in a ominous and ghastly light.....before they let out a defiant *GURGLE!* and goes *Ka-Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom.*

EXPLOSION
Accuracy: 9D6 Base Dice - 2 Pain - 5 Moves = 2D6 Dice
(5)(2) It hits. EVERYONE.
Damage: STR (3) + 10 - Vitality ( 3 for EVERYONE) = 10D6 Lethal Damage
You: (4)(3)(4)(5)(6)(4)(1)(6)(4)(6) You take 8 Lethal Damage! Oh, SHIT!
Sekmet: (3)(5)(6)(3)(2)(3)(6)(3)(6)(6) Sekmet takes 5 Lethal Damage! 5/11 HP , - 2 Pain, 5 Lethal Damage!
Asura: (6)(3)(4)(1)(1)(3)(2)(1)(1)(3) Asura somehow tanks the blow and survives unscathed!
Shiny Gligar: (1)(5)(6)(5)(1)(1)(3)(4)(5)(1) Shiny Gligar is sent flying from the blast, landing beside your still from! 0/6 HP , 3 Lethal Damage!

That was the last thing you saw, before everthy went white.......................................










You have died.



...

....

....

You find youself in the black, infinite, and empty void of Limbo once more. It feels almost as if you are returning home, in a way. You slowly feel your mind grow hazy, as the lifeless expanse leeches the last dregs of your life fade away.......

......until it suddenly stops.

Well well well well well.

A hauntingly familiar voice trickles through your lingering consciousness, and you could FEEL my introspective gaze linger on your immaterial form.

I figured I wouldn't get yourself wasted for quite awhile, with the devil's luck you usually possess, but I guess fate can create all sorts odd outcomes, can't they?

My two giant, glowing yellow irises appear hovering above your spirit, and you felt my chuckle ripple through it.

Tell me, Arial Copycat Schrodinger: Would you do anything to live? Anything at all, no matter how vile or loathsome it is to you?

Arial couldnt feel anything. But when that presence appear, Arial was startled. He simple nod his head, accepting the deal. He already do many things in his life, so make that pact its nothing. He will accept if this means return to life. If this means continue his job he will accept. He still have family in his responsability.

You hear me chuckle once more, as I was amused you agreed so readily without knowing the consequence or price of your choice.

Hehehehe......eager to return to life, are you not little jester? Without asking for details, or any sort Insight on what my offer pertains to you?

In an instant, my ebony hand materializes around you, your SOUL, and slowly close in on it.

Then again, you are not in much of a position to haggle over the details, so I guess your boldness is not entirely unwarranted!

Well then, Arial Copy Schrodinger........

*GRASP!* You black out...........

We have an accord! The cat is now dead in the box! Or is it perhaps alive? Let's find out, shall we? Until we meet again in hopefully better circumstances, heheheheheheHA!

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

*Blink* You are alive.

Survaying your immediate surroundings , you happen to find yourself standing far away from the battlefield, overlooking the carnage that resulted from Delta Muk's Explosion. Sekmet was half collapsed on the ground, letting out horrible, stasticly wails of Pain as bright green blood dripped from its many injuries, scorching the ground as its impacts. Shiny Gilgar is Fainted and looking in terrible condition, shrapnel sticking out of its body at multiple sites and its blood already pooling around it. Asura was miraculously unharmed, a fact that stunned them as much as you.

Then......you saw yourself, absolutely torn to shreads by the blast. It was a gruesome sight that should hardly be mentioned in detail, but needless to say its not presentable for an open cascat funeral. But wait, why are you seeing yourself when.....?

Seconds later, the mystery is solved.

Slowly, your body takes on an familiar shimmer of light.......before it morphs before your eyes.

Into Gaspar.

....

Gaspar.....Gaspar was dead.

He died in your place, little jester. One of life of equal value of yours, one you cared for on the same level as yourself, and that held the same potential. All I did was simply switch their 'fate' of surviving this battle with you 'fated' death, and re-summoned you far away from the Explosion. It wouldn't do for you to die twice to the same attack, after all.

Such is the price of our deal. My deepest condolences.........

"No...NO GASPAR PLEASE NO!" Then Arial simple go in the direction of the remaines of Gaspar body. "PLEASE NO NO NO NO NO! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! GASPAR PLEASE IF THERE A GOD PLEASE! I WANT TO BE REPLACED! NOT LIKE THIS! NO NONO!" Arial cry a lot. "Please...I cant live without you...please I beg you...return to me..." Then between his tears he only see rage. "You...." then he still see that damn Muk. "You did this!" In his pure rage he take his knife and begin to kill that damn Muk! "YOU KILL YOU KILL YOU KILL HIM YOU KILL YOU KILL HIM!" Arial after that huff in rage.

Then Arial finally stops he decides to takes his pokemon and use his only Ultra Ball to capture Gligar and return his pokemons. He go to the Pokemon Center and heal his pokemons. Including Gligar. He release his pokemons and say some last words. "I cant live without my dear brother. So you are all free now...take care of yourselfs and find happiness."

After that Arial find a bridge. And he say his last words. "I cant live a world without you brother...So I joining with you now." Then he put one feet in that bridge. "In afterlife." Then he jumps. To join with Gaspar in Giratina realm.

And thus, thats the end of Arial CopyCat. The Madman of Celdon City.

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner gives Weavile a confused look, but turns his attention back to the battle just as quickly.  Yup, no time to wonder about that right now!

Reiner shakes his head in response to Clair.  "No, you're losing yourself, slowly but surely, and it's only a matter of time before you're not going to resemble my cousin any more in the slightest.  I could do far, far worse than buff my own pokemon on a very, very temporary basis, Clair.  I've faced three people with these weapons other than you so far, and the only one who didn't lose themselves to their weapon was the one person who didn't appear to be using it at all.  I don't want to lose my cousin to one of these @%$# Cursed Arms.  You did well to hold out for half the battle, but it only takes one slip up for the weapon to take over.  Once you've had a taste of their power, you want to keep using them, and they slowly grab ahold of you until you finally succumb to their harsh drawbacks...that is why they're not worth the prices you have to pay for using them.  Even in moderation, they're just as dangerous to you as they are to everyone else."

Out comes Kingdra in response to Aerodactyl.  The air suddenly gets very damp...which should definitely be a surprise to Clair.

"...if you harm even a single scale on my lifelong companion, there WILL be consequences.  Mark.  My.  Words."

There's a deadly serious look in his eyes...

Let's see some initiative for Kingdra and Aerodactyl then before we roll out some orders!

[Lord Windos]

"No...NO GASPAR PLEASE NO!" Then Arial simple go in the direction of the remaines of Gaspar body. "PLEASE NO NO NO NO NO! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! GASPAR PLEASE IF THERE A GOD PLEASE!

And thus, thats the end of Arial CopyCat. The Madman of Celdon City.

Oh no no no! Don't go breaking our deal now, little jester! The warrenty is still in place, heheheheheHA!!

You successfully murdalize the Delta Muk, sending him to here after just like it sent off your beloved sibling. Revenge is yours. You and all your Pokémon (Including Shiny Gligar) gain 20 XP.

After healing your Pokémon and releasing them into a safe/private location to inform them of your deathwish, they all reacted predictably: EXTREMELY POORLY. You were all but DOGPILLED as Melchoir and Sekmet charged at you, each of them expressing the SEVERE disagreement with such a....well, suicidal choice.

Melchoir lets out a loud and worried *Rwwwwoooooooaaaar...........* and repeating butts their head against your face to both comfort you AND snap you out of your depressed state of mind. No master, don't go!!! Don't....don't do that!!! Their cat sibling may have died horribly in battle, but they did it to protect YOU , and he,.....they.....the both of them wouldn't/didn't want to lose you to the Underworld too.....! Please, please consider, PLEASE!!!

Sekmet was pressed against your chest and lower body, a rumbling *bbbbzzzzzrrrrrttttt* ....emanating from her as she stared at you with teary eyes. You were.....going to leave her? After promising to care of her, the fun (if more than a little rough) times they have together, becoming the first person they've deeply cared about since......EVER. Why.....why would do that?! No, you can't do that, she refuses to let you kill yourself! You are going to care and be responsible for her and EVERYONE of your Pokémon, got it *BBZZzzzzzzRrrrttT!*

Baltazar......Baltazar just kneeled downed and placed a hand on your shoulder, and gazed deeply in your eyes. They know the pain and heartache you are suffering is well and truly beyond all comprehension, just like the lose of your foster father was and being broken by those ungodly Psychics. But they also know that deep down you are a powerful person as well, one with the ability to endure the harships life throws at you, laugh it off, and ever surpass your limitation. Do not let Gaspar's sacrifice be in vain. Live, laugh, and love. Be strong, Master.

Asura didn't look pleased one bit, as while he wasn't particularly Loyal or Happy with you, he didn't find you THAT wanting or detestible to see your upcoming suicide as anything less than undesirable. He used one of his hands to motion to every Pokémon in the room, pointing out how distressed and unhappy they were with his choice, before crossing his arms and pinning you in place with a firm stare. As master and leader of your Pokémon party, it was your solumn duty to provide for their needs and ensure their happiness, and they in term would give their fealty towards you and do their utmost to carry out their will. Slaying yourself over the lose of one of your subjects was not an appropriate course of action, for your party has spoken out against it. Will you listen to their pleas, or ignore them and have them suffer the consequence of your death?

Ea (who you only know as Carracosta) just stared at you for a long time......before she shook her head in disguist, stomped over to you, and used her flipper to smack you upside the head. She did not like you, she did not respect you, and she certainly had a problem with your personality, but she hated your cowardous even more! All life was precious, no matter how deplorable or rueful the being that possessed it was. To give it up for so...so weak reason, and hurt everyone that loves and relies on you......it was unforgivable! So get your head out of your ass and deal with you grief, instead of succumbing to it!!!

Shiny Gligar........they looked like death warmed over themselves, hunched over and seemingly trapped within their own despair. They.....they were responsible for provoking the Detla Muk into blowing themselves up. For killing Gaspar, the funny and playful cat who was on the fast track of becoming friend with. For depressing the fun loving and jolly man that so readily accepted them in their life without hardly asking anything, and indirectly making them contemplate suicide. All of it. .......Maybe if they die.....he should too. It...it would only be fitting, right......?

You...you could somehow get the jist of all your Pokémon were conveying to you, and you wondered whether or not your contact with the T.P.K. was responsible for this, or the end result of all the growing you've done. Regardless, you got their message loud and clear: They did not want you to die. They wanted you to LIVE.

What will be your answer to them........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................?

With a shuddering gasp, you bolt awake off the ground......before you almost immediantly collaspe onto it again when the damage and shrapnel  produced by the Explosion caused the most equisite Pain imaginable, causing you to groan in misery/esctascy (He IS a Masocist). After a couple of minutes of enduring this sensation, you managed to get used to it enough to twist yourself upwards and survayed  your immediate surroundings.

You happen to find yourself  blow far away from the battlefield, overlooking the carnage that resulted from Delta Muk's Explosion. Sekmet was half collapsed on the ground, letting out horrible, stasticly wails of Pain as bright green blood dripped from its many injuries, scorching the ground as its impacts. Shiny Gilgar was looking in terrible condition, shrapnel sticking out of its body at multiple sites as their blood ran freely, but somehow they managed to muster enough energy to stay conscious. Asura was miraculously unharmed, a fact that stunned them as much as you.

And you then you see......nothing else? No signs Gaspar or the Delta Muk? What?

This scene is hauntly familiar, yet even more weirdly different.

Its almost like a bad case of de ja vu, isn't it?

HeheheheheheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was a rather neat trick I performed, wasn't it? Well, not really, but let's pretend it is and move on, shall we?

You might be wondering what the hell happened, yes? The simple answer is thus: I fulfilled my part of the bargin and brought you back to life, as per our agreement. As for payment......well, I decided to give you a taste of another possiblity ! I weaved it with from illusion and the very fabric of that timeline itself, and forced you into a dream of a 'Bad Future' , one were Gaspar was the one to pay the price for your life. Why, you ask?

Well, I wanted to see how you would react to such a thing, and I have to say you certainly didn't exceed my expectations. Almost immediately became suicidal, only stopping in your quest of death long enough not to condemn them to the same fate, and threw yourself of a bridge! You went *SPLAT* impressively when you collided with the water, though, so I'll give that much credit to you in that scenario, hehehehehehe!

Of course, I couldn't just let you die, as that would violate my deal with you, so I decided to.....tweek things a bit. I rewinded the 'Dream' to that critical moment you abandoned them all, and just quietly whispered in your Pokémon's hearts to 'Stop him.' The rest solved itself rather beautifully, if I do say so myself! Then, I simply ended the 'Dream' right then and there, to give yet another shock to your system!

And here you are, alive and whole, but hardly unharmed.

Now, you may be wondering why I did all that to you.

Simple, really:

Because you let me.

Because I wanted to teach you a lesson.

And, of course, just because.

You didn't specify or ask what would you would suffer in exchange for your life, so I took free liberty to be creative to my heart's content!

I also wanted to ingrain a few lessons into that shattered mind of yours, so that you won't prove to be a liability to my main ally in the future. After all, what is not the best way to learn, then by example, experience, Pain, and Failure.

To that end, the 'Bad Future Dream' was created, and from it......

I wanted you to learn that it pays to be vigilant, cautious, and intelligent, or otherwise it will cost you instead.

I wanted you to learn to be careful what you wish for, and always inquire about the details of any deal.

Most importantly of all, I wanted you to learn the impact you have on other people's lives, and that suicide is ultimately a permenant solution to problems that can be made temporary.

Such a nasty thing.....its a wonder why I even allow such an phenomena to exist in the first place.....oh yes, because I still hope my little sister someday commits it herself! Silly me!

Anyway!

I wanted you to learn all this, to suffer all this, just so you don't go and make these same mistakes again if and should they occur. You are no use to me or my ally if you are dead or dispondant, so please take this as a learning experience, and do better in the many futures that await you. Of course, you can feel free too jolly well ignore me, if wish to be defiant and idiotic! Ignorance IS blissful fun, especially when you willfully make it a privilege at the expense of others, hehehehe!

Additionally, I also took that Delta Muk for myself, as additional payment for you blunders and 'revival' . You lost the chance to catch it when it ended up destroying you, so I'll just put it to my own use. You can keep the XP you and your Pokémon gained from slaying it, though. I'm not that greedy; just exacting.

Now, I do believe I've fully explained myself, so I'll just leave you to stew on this. Cheerio~






....Oh wait, I almost forgot: you can find Reiner fighting Clair at this location *Gives you knowledge of where they are* . Just in case he fails, I want you to bail his ass out with Riza, alright? Alright!

Cheerio for real this time, heheheheheHA~!
