The Whirlepede Stampede strikes Heart's little party.

Heart: (2) Heart takes 1 dmg.
Rose: (1) Rose escapes unscathed.
Clawitzer: (6) Clawitzer is badly poisoned!
Lucifer: (3) Lucifer takes 1 dmg.



Aside from those unfortunate events, you are able to demolish the Whirlipede with super-effective and spread moves.

Heart have use a Antidote after that battle. "Here. But to be honest I didnt think it would that easily." Heart look around. "We still need to find the pokemons of the others." 


"YOU'RE SAYING THAT SO EASY, HEART! Because......you aren't missing an important and valid Pokemon and friend !"

Those Shiva words still ringing in his head for while. "I cant blame her to feel desperate about that. Its her pokemons and friends we talking about. I would be in despair too if I would loose any of you...but still hurt a little." Heart than shake his head and look in the path ahead. "But its not time to think that. Whatever have take theyre pokemons, might be still here. You two return for now." Heart than have return Rose and Gustav, and he bring out Patrat and Koa. "Lucifer, stay close to me. We have some pokemon to save. We need to be stealth to avoid any kind of danger here. Lets go."

Mechanic: I will not choose any encounter but instead I shall use this round to search the footsprints to find where the thief have go with everyone pokemon. Dex+Survival+Stealth to hide in the shadows to avoid any danger of the pokemons, and Insight+Dex+Alert to notice any kind of clue like footsprint, a piece of cloth, furr, etc. Anything who can point me to a direction to where the others it is.

These bugs have crossed a line by completely ignoring her sentiments, and then used outright this line as a skipping rope for their young ones to play together. In short, Shiva was absolutely not amused, and it showed by her growing completely silent and freezing on the spot, it almost felt like that ice transfered to the area and silenced everything. 

Not out of fear (to a degree however, yes), but out of quickly AWAKENING WRATH. Wrath that she shouldn't feel, wrath that seemed to spring from somewhere very deep, wrath that only the a vicious Fairy Type would feel. Has she entered Vile Witch Mode already? -Not quite, but according to the voices and whispered curses and spells in her mind, she's threathened to do so against these bugs.

May they feel her displeasure.
May they know that what they did was not acceptable for her.
May they pay for outright attacking her Pokemon, whether she has invaded their comfort zone or not,  when she was showing compassion to them in the first place.
May they be lucky that Yena is not with Shiva, as she may just have him crush these bugs between his malicious teeth ONE AFTER THE OTHER, feeling the pain she did when her dear Pokemon were outright attacked! Rare Tandormon or not, they went too far, and messed with the wrong person.

Painfully calmly, 1 of Ven's selfmixed Potions he once made for her is used on Tropius, bringing him back to full 10/10hp. He flapped his wings in thankfulness, then shook his head+neck massively to get rid of the bug trying to eat him alive. He....was only GROWING fruit, he WASN'T a fruit, that should be obvious! Seemingly not to that pesky waterly-looking bug. Shiva just glared at it coldly, as if she attempted to freeze-dry it right away. "NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT LISTENING TO ME, RIGHT? Fine, it's your bug's loss! I've tried to be kind towards you, but you ignored and trampled that under your way too many legs! If that's part of the test to let me pass, then know that I'll fight back until the end! Tropius, blow up some refreshing Gusts please into their way too many eyes, aiming the one with the lightbulb on its tail first! You, Azu..... Drench it in a stream of bubbles. Dizzy, dear one....." She reaches out, places a hand softly onto the young Absol's head, before adressing it suprisingly softly and affectionate. "Challenge ahead. Please show me what Gold and Wir have thought you about aiding in a dire and outnumbered battle."


------------------------------------------------------------
Orders for this Round: I feel the best way to describe Shiva's state now is 'very pissed but not having lost it yet, but deep down scared to succumb and fall prey to the bugs'. I hope it doesn't end up as a wrong decision to take on that Encounter, the dramatic promises an exciting battle. Cool!

Tropius will concentrate on Harylect, using 4x Gust on it which deals neutral damage.
Azumarill will concentrate at Firoke at first, if it's defeated move on to Harylect.
Dizzy is asked to aid and deal with these two at first, or what he thinks is the biggest threat with his own senses.
Cottonee's Parayzis cured itself now that 24h have passed since suffering it by a Delibird's Present.

Accuracy Roll Gust 1: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 4 Channel - 4 Actions = 5d6

Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 2 Power of the move + 1 STAB = 6d6, it's neutral on Harylect.
Additional notes: Nothing. But will blow the untouched food away!

Additional notes: 1 CD to lower Dext by 1. Make it happen, dice!

Eeeeeeeeep!  They just tried to kill Swiftfire on sight!!!  Nathan is having a terrible time of it down here.  He's low on healing supplies, can't smell a thing, can't manage to hold still for even a few seconds without shivering, he's fearing for the lives of both him and his pokemon, Ralts has gone missing...

Ditto growls menacingly at Swadloon.  If it won't flee after it has obviously lost, then they shall finish this!!!  Nobody attacks an innocent in front of him and gets away with it!!!

Wide Guard!
Accuracy: 11 - 1 - 2 = 8 D6
Effect: same

Drain Punch

Swiftfire huffs and glares at the Leavanny.  Why are bugs so keen on trying to kill her?!  That's not fun at all!  Stupid slashing attacks...

Accuracy: 12 - 1 - 2/3 = 9/8 D6
Damage: KOs with just SE damage

Ven tensed and clenched his fists when Apsis briefly became a purple snakesicle, but then his scowled turned into a viscously triumphant smile as she broke free and (after a probing strike) clamped right down on the mock Mothra and ignited them let a piece of dry tinder, subsequently Burning them and the last of its consciousness away! Only when he managed to capture the icy insect and sent it off to his PC did Ventus took a deep breath and let it out with more of a heave than a sigh, releasing himself from the hostile apprehension/wariness that had swaddled him like a warm blanket.

Of course, doing so made him acutely aware of just how frigid and funky his current local was, causing them to grimace in discomfort as he quickly paced over to his slithering sister to both check/fret over the extent of her injuries and share their body heat with her by cuddling her mid-section. Both activity she very much appreciated, judging by the rare tender smile she grace him when he wasn't looking. She loved it when her master doted and cared for her (though most of the time she was too proud to so overtly show it), and while the circumstance that lead to this intimacy were........intolerable ,she was blisteringly cold AND aching all over, she was still was able to appreciate and enjoy this small moment with her master. Especially after being forced to endure the sight of him practically cuddling that fae woman during their ride here; this was a much needed pick me up from that and that AWFUL battle with that bastard of a Bug, *Hiiiisss!*

"Euuuck.......standing here is like being inside an old refigorater, so let's vacate these artic premises and reunite with the rest of the group my beautiful sister. Swiftfire should be able to warm us all up from that moth's flurry of Blizzards , and maybe Heart has returned to the group so we can have Gustav patch up both you and your sister's injures, assuming no one else was serious hurt in this stretch, of course," the researcher said after he finished his inspection and found that his poisonous python was ailing overall, but still able to function enough to defend herself, patting her side with careful fondness (since the Blizzard has left her scales frosted and especially sensitive) before motioning for her to follow him back to where they came. 'Hopefully the rest of the group has managed to cope well with the dangers present here, or I have more work ahead of me yet......'

Order: Go back to the meeting point for this Encounter List and await the others! If Heart is back, might I request medical aid for Apsis with just one Heal Pulse for her? Malphena can simply stay in her Pokeball until she fully recovers, and when Lucifer re-joins with Ventus (and gets a very stern lecture for flying off without his permission) he'll have enough Pokémon to cover for her absence for most of the day!

Swadloon becomes charcoal.

Nathan starts sobbing in relief and fear both.  He ends up hugging Ditto as soon as the battle is over.

"...th-thank y-you...*sniffle*...Ditto...that would have been s-so much w-worse if you w-weren't here..."

He knows Ditto has very little reason to trust him right now and isn't very happy with him still...but he's genuinely thankful that Ditto potentially saved Swiftfire's life despite that...it's definitely proving that it's more than just the breeding machine that many trainers use the species almost exclusively for...(I'm very interested in seeing how Ditto reacts to this...)

Now then, medical attention for Swiftfire!  5 dice on that Stabilize check!  How long does it take to heal Lethal damage naturally if it's successfully treated?  This is a really relevant question right now, unfortunately...

Still need to figure out what to do with the bugs, but let's address these two things first.
