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

[Dragonstrike]

"A wise choice, Asura.  It often takes more than a single fighter to down most snake pokemon, and Arbok is not a pokemon you want to be taking lightly when you've made him angry.  As one of my Dragons, I've never been disappointed in his performance...even if things don't quite go as expected."

Reiner's expression darkens a little.

"You also did a FAR better job of controlling your anger than Clair did, Asura, so extra commendations for that."

Now then...back to the battle!

[Lord Windos]

Asura give his master a vaguely surprised look at your approval of his shameful yet wise decision, and the praise you gave him certainly took a bit of the sting out of his forfeit. Still, he was still in a grumpy, taciturn mood, and wanted to maintain what little dignity he had left at this point, so he just schooled his expression and gave you a regal nod of thanks.

Reiner's praise earned them an even more startled look from the monkey monarch, and could help but raise both eyebrows at the heaviness of your tone/body posture as you talked about Clair. As a king to his people, he had an especially keen ability to socialize and 'get a read' on people, as what is a king if he does not understand his own subject, but a fool sitting on a throne of his own inadequices? That's why he knew right away that your cousin/half sister was troubling you deeply. To that and your compliments, he responded by clenching a fist and thumping it against his chest as both a symbol of support and a message to be strong of heart, for even the worst disaster can be recovered from in time.....

Shortly after these exchanges, Arial sent a Pokeball rocketing into, and his mean green feline Melchior was summoned seconds later! Arial then raised up the arm that had his Mega Bracelet with remarkable seriousness, and his brother was surround characteristic rainbow prismatic light shell of Mega Evolution, before they let out a mighty *RWWWOOOOOAAAAAAR!*, shattering the orb and revealing a Mega Metalynx in all its prime! The madman had brought them out as the most suitable opponent to clean up Mega Arbok, as both its typing and ability afforded them maximum survivability against its trechory!

However, the Draconic Trainer wasn't so keen to take a risk and push an advantage he may or may not have with his ace in the hole, so he was swift to recall them to their Pokeball at the same moment you sent out your apex predator. He then turned towards the direction where Felica was currently lingering/sulking (as Weavile was having much more success in rebuffing her affections this time around) and let out a sharp whistle, getting her attention as he shoot her a sharp look before waving her over.

At first she could only give you an aloof, questioning look along with a tilt of her head, as she thought you'd be leaving her to her own device as you clobbered that oaf with the rest of your heavy hitter. That, and she didn't quite savor the idea of battling in anything less than a serious Encounter or one with actual stakes/tangible rewards, as anything less than either was putting herself (in her opinion) in unnecessary harm.

Life on the streets taught her to avoid useless battling, and initially that was what she was planning to do.......until her gazed drifted over to the great big, hulking, well muscled and fortified, beautifully decorated Melchoir that was standing tall and proud on his master's side of the battlefield. All thoughts of protest ceased as she gazed upon one of THE pinnecles of a regal, wild, and handsome feline (With herself and to some extent Weavile being other examples), and she her jaw dropped and heart beat pick up as she stared at them. At that singular moment, one thought spark furiously in her mind, before fizzling out, filling her with a warm, undeniable sense of Purpose. The thought was thus:

She so wanted a piece of that lean, green jungle cat, and she was going to do whatever it took to get her some!

Felicia flicker before she was immediately facing off against Melchoir, fiercely and eagerly leering at them with undisguised desire , looking reading to pounce on them at any time. This quickly unnerved the apex predator as they nearly took a half step away from the old couger, until he stopped himself and roughly shook his head before growling back in defiance at her, to which she responded with a haughty huff and senuous *Puuuurrrr....*

Neither of you where sure how this Round was going to turn out, but one thing was for certain: it was going to be quite interesting.....

Arial could notice all this happening and say a serious protest to both Reiner and Felicia. "Oi! Stay out of my brother you cat with no sense of danger! Reiner! Tell your cat go to another place very distant from my brother! We not going to go easy on ya."

[Dragonstrike]

Heart Arial could notice all this happening and say a serious protest to both Reiner and Felicia. "Oi! Stay out of my brother you cat with no sense of danger! Reiner! Tell your cat go to another place very distant from my brother! We not going to go easy on ya."

[Oi!  Watch who you're referring to, Spirit!]

Reiner laughs.  "Bit late to stop her now, I'm afraid."

(Well, Weavile, I assume you're rather glad her attention is completely off you for the time being?)

[Haven't sent in orders yet, but I'll get to it soon, so hang tight!]

[Lord Windos]

Oh wait, I forgot the Initiatives!

Felicia: 6 + (*4) = 10
Melchoir: 6 + (2) = 7
Poe: 6 + (1) = 6
Alomomola: 6 + (3) = 9

Felicia goes first, then Melchoir. Alomomola goes after Felicia in her support move, but can apply it to Melchior before he acts, and Poe is dead last period.

Sorry for forgetting!

The cat thief huffed to himself as you leveled your question at him, not particularly happy that he's being pestered by some otherworldly being that is working behind the scenes. Still, he had to admit to himself he IS relieved that Felicia has another poor bastard in her sights instead of himself, as he didn't know for how much longer his aloof rejection could keep her at bay, and having some downtime to himself was always a grand (especially with catnip!). However......he couldn't help but feel annoyed and somewhat immasculated by the fact that Melchoir effortlessly caught her romantic favor, though he tried his best to stamp down on that instinctual feeling. He IS the coolest, most badass cat around, and MUCH better than some hotshot green and gray feline.....

Seeing as you not only have no sort of Loyalty/Happiness bond with her, but after getting to know /learning about you considers the madman to be.....well, a foolish madman, and she's a naturally highly Disobedient Persain, Felicia could not give one nanoscopic amount of a damn about you or your warnings. In fact, she just gave you a smug smile before ignoring you by casually licking her paw, taunting you with how much she considers herself above and beyond your superior in all things. That, and just show how much respect she has for you or your words: zero. All of which together, coming from a former rich house pet turned stray, is the sorta burn that no amount of Burn Heal can fix!

With that out of the way:

The Gauntlet Round 4!

One second, the pretty purloining pussycat was staring down the mean green liger with a Cheshire grin brimming with desire, and the next she lunges forward to lash out at them at near blinding speed!

Fake Out!
(6)(3)(5)(4)(4)(3)(1) She manages to knock him off his feet from the blow, sending him crashing painfully on his tail! Critical Hit!
(4)(4)(1)(6)(3) Melchior takes 1 Damage; 6/8 HP, - 1 Pain!
Due to be taken so off guard by her blitzkerg of an Move, he's Flitched and has to spend his action pulling himself back to his feet!

Just because the jungle cat was incapacitated didn't stop Alomomola from doing her part this round, as she channeled her healing energies once more to cast something that would prevent all sorts of nasty illnesses!

Safeguard
(4)(3)(4)(1)(2)(5)(6)(5)(1)(2)(2)
Arial's Entire Party is protected against Hard Status Effects for 4 Rounds!

The glittering cat thief herself used her opponent's inability to retaliate as the chance to brainstorm all the downright devious intension she has for the handsome tomcat once she's done show him just who is the boss.

Nasty Plot
(1)(6)(3)(2)(1)(2) However, such an activity lead her thoughts to less.......productive fantasies, leaving her only with a distracted dreamy look on her face with a bead of drull spilling out her mouth! No STR boost!

This proved to be obviously to her detriment, as the apex predator finally recovered from their previous surprise attack and let out an thoroughly displeased *Grrrrwwwoaaaaal* at her, before his body started glowing green as he began to forcibly tap into her life energy!

Giga Drain 1
(6)(6)(3)(6) The Devil's Luck now be with you! Hit! The question now is, will he screw you over too?
Damage: STR (*3) + 3 + STAB - Vitality (5) = 2D6 Damage
(4)(1) Nope! Felicia takes 1 Damage; 8/9 HP!
Melchior recovers 1 HP (7/8 HP, No Pain!)

The refined feline let out a surprised *Yowl!* as her mean green target of affections enervated her with his moves, causing her to give him a toothy scowl before she tried to put her impressive dentialia to good use by giving him some rather nasty love:

Bites! -1-
(6)(3)(1)(2)(4) Hits!
(5)(6) Melchior takes 2 Damage; 5/8 HP, - 1 Pain!
Flitch: (1)(1)(5) Nope!

The pretty purloining pussycat well succeeded in marking the jungle cat, but this just prompted him to keep sucking the life out of her to restore his own!

Giga Drain 2
(6)(2) Hits!
(6)(6) Felicia takes 2 Damage; 6/9 HP, - 1 Pain!
Melchoir recovers another 1 HP (6/8 HP!)

Shivering at the sensation of being slowly withered away, the sparking cat thief was undettered as she tried to give the rugged male yet another 'loving' :

Bite!
(5)(5)(6) Hits!
(3)(5) Melchior takes 1 Damage; 5/8 HP!
Flitch: (1)(3)(3) Nope!

Giga Drain 3
(6) Hits!
(5)(3) Felicia takes 1 Damage; 5/9 HP!
Melchoir recovers yet another 1 HP (6/8 HP!)

However, he didn't extract enough vigor to be able to safely pull of another Giga Drain, so instead he managed to push the overly amorous feline back towards her side of the field as he disengages to his own. He's a little battered and winded, but far from Fainting!

Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for the 'former' rich kitty, who looked rather haggered after having her vim repeating extracted from her, but that all that serves is light a fire underneath her as she regards her potential mate with renewed interest/caution. Now that he's proven that he can hold his own against her, she'll be sure to take him MUCH more seriously now......though she wouldn't stop trying to forcibly seduce him just yet, though!

Current Status:

Felicia: 5/9 HP, - 1 Pain
Melchoir: 6/8 HP, Mega Boost, - 1 Pain

The Gaunlet Round 4 is about to begin!

"HA! In your face Persian!" Say Arial seeing how much hurt got that Persian. "It seems the move we learn in after our battle against Delta Muk indeed save us a lot Melchior." Melchior let out a delight roar with his new move. "A move who can attack and the same time recover half of the damage as heal. Pretty useful against any kind of foe. I not a big fan in fighting against Stall pokemons, but that doesnt mean I do not do the style myself. Since I not to much strong in terms of strengh, I adopt a more adapt style, using mischiev tricks and defensive abilities from self sustain. But do not let your guard down Melchior. The ones who congrat victory too soon always get defeat in the end."

[Lord Windos]

The Gauntlet Round 5!

Once both felines have caught their breath and recovered themselves somewhat from the last Round (More literally in Melchior's case!), they both proceeded to tear into each other with their preferred moves, Felicia sticking with sinking her fangs into the mean green liger while he continued to try and rip the life energy straight out of her!

Bite 1
(4)(3)(6)(3)(5)(2)(1) Hits!
(2)(1) Unfortunately for Felicia, she accidentally targeted a metal plated area, which resoundily refused to be punctured! No Damage!
Flitch: (5)(6)(6) However, its enough to cause them to Flitch out of their next Action, leaving them wide open for ANOTHER Bite!

Before it could be executed, though, Poe (who had briefly quavered at the sight at the mean old Persain and forgot to help out last Round as a result) pulled himself together thanks to the aid of his sister waltzing up and nuzzling him (Aww.....), and started to resume his smashing cheerleading efforts!

Helping Hand
(4)(5)(2)(5)(3)(5)(-)(-)(-)(-)
Felicia LOVES the attention she's getting, and gains a + 3 Bonus to the Accuracy and Damage Dice to her next:

Bite 2!
(5)(2)(6)(2)(2)(6)(1)(6)(1) For a moment it look like she got something vital, but as it turns out she only Hit a plain old area!
(4)(6)(1)(1)(4) Melchoir takes 2 Damage; 4/8 HP, - 2 Pain!
Flitch: (1)(3)(2) Nope!

Alomomla, after finishing setting up the Anti-Debuff Preparations (Mist + Safeguard), saw how much dire straights Melchoir was going to be in if he didn't get some aid for his next move, and so let out a passionate outcry of support for the ironclad lynx!

Helping Hand (Alomomla)
(1)(5)(1)(6)(3)(1)(5)
Melchoir is heartened by the kind praise of her's, and gains a + 2 Bonus to the Accuracy and Damage Dice of his next:

(5)(6)(6)(6) Felicia takes 4 Damage; 1/9 HP, - 3 Pain!!!
Melchoir recovers 2 HP (6/8 HP, - 1 Pain!)

That last enervation nearly caused the pretty purloining pussycat knees to buckle in on themselves, while the jungle cat looked no worse for wear from her love nibbles due to said repeated enervations! By this point she looked pail and somewhat shiveled up like an old vegetable, and that a stiff enough breeze could end up bowling her over and KOing her! However, she REFUSED to be cowed by her newest fancy, panting miserably as she gave them a defiant glare that showed all her inborn superiority and finesse, before she clamped down for one last:

Bite 3!
(4)(5) Hits!
(5)(4) Melchoir takes 2 Damage; 4/8 HP once more!
Flitch: (6)(2)(1) Yweoch, that one got them to Flitch! Skipping Giga Drain 3, but he has one last one before he calls it quits for this Round! Will he manage to land it, and knock down the spoiled feline from her high perch?!

Giga Drain 4
(2) Nope! That last 'loving' Move got under his skin too much for him to summon the concentration necessary to pull it off!

Things has reached and surpassed a turning point for this battle between felines, with Felicia being the one to have gotten the short end of the stick in this exchange, as she's just hanging on by a thread of yarn by this point! Meanwhile, Melchoir is hardly in his finest condition now, but between his own plethora of Healing Moves and the clerical work of the heart shaped fish, he has the all the tools he needs to keep on trucking! The battle is all but won for the apex predator basically, unless Felicia is able to get off a fully damaing Crit Bite against him next Round and pull of a dark horse victory!

Felicia: 1/9 HP, - 3 Pain

Arial pant a little after that round (both because of the tension of the battle and because he used a Will point in the previous round). "Well, it seems both of us is in difficult situation. I indeed praised your strengh Felicia. If my brother would be a bit older and you not so be atired, and you a bit younger perhaps that would be no problem in Melchior become your mate, huh." Then Arial makes a face. "But thats Melchior decision, not your nor I. Melchior is very much independent of himself."

Arial then prepares himself. The Cursed Arm impulse with a bit of purple energy. He is not going to use of course. Perhaps she is interest in how this fight gonna go between two Cursed Arm Users? (I leave that scene in your capable hands @Lord Windos). "Anyway, one way or another, this shall be the last round between our cats Reiner. I hope you are ready. Because me and Melchior we are!"
