[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

I would say that its reasonable for Terra to detect they are surprised by SOMETHING he did, causing him to raise/srunch both his eyebrows in curiosity/confusion.

"Hmm? What is the matter, Nathan? All I did was allow my Breloom Mikey to activate his Poison Heal Ability, and have then activate my partner's ability Guts. Is that somehow unacceptable.....?"

He trails of at the end on a note of concern, for while as far as he knows he's conducting this battle properly/legally, it wouldn't be the first time he caught someone off guard with his choices, and didn't want any unnecessarily confusion/conflict to result over them.

Shiranui seems a bit disappointed he was not going to fight that Psychic Knight, but when he see his opponent is going to be a lively and sprintly Bug type, he gets hyped right back up! Let's see what this spider moves will be, and what it thinks of HIS!

"...Mikey..."

Nathan laughs quietly to himself.  He certainly wasn't expecting to be facing Michael in these conditions, that's for sure...

"...it's nothing to worry about, Terra.  Carry on."

Gallade's staring at Michael, interested in what the mushroom thinks of this situation, battle and new trainer and all.

"Hmm....fine. Tell me if anything else bothers you, though. I want this to be a challenge fight for the both of us....but I want it to be fair as well."

I'll leave Michael's reaction to Iron, since he's pretty much his own shroom without Ventus around to be his rock/influence.

Training Roll for Cherubi. She's learning to channel that sunlight. Now that she's above the surface and out of the PC, she should be able to save up for evolution in earnest, assuming nothing eats her fruit!

Patting the smol cherry carefully, Shiva expresses that she's all willing to help on that and further protect her from hungry birds (and people maybe) until she becomes a cherry blossom. It's been discussed somewhere that Raphael is no Pokemon for her to be afraid of, or at least I have this noted for her. Raphael himself should be aware though that it'd unkind trying to eat companions.

(Waiting for Vapreon's reaction before continuing, see above post~ I'm having a quick interaction with her, an action that will involve dice rolling and a call to Golda to do before leaving dorm and Pokemon Center. No hurries though!)

Vaporeon prances when you ask about the Daycare. She seems to have made lots of friends there. And she hopes her Egg will hatch safely and produce a new friend!

Michael's biggest concern in the world is being able to find lots of good challenges. Ventus explained he'd be able to find such challenges with the martial master Terra.

Gallade definitely senses a kindred spirit in both Michael and Terra.

Awwww. "That's sweet to hear. I'll make sure that you'll get the possibility to meet them all again! When, depends. You're Egg isn't with me right now though - not yet that is, I didn't want to carry it when being on a dangerous and important travel. Say, would you enjoy staying with me ( = in Shiva's party) as long as I carry your Egg and have it close to you during the nights until it hatches?"

Definitely! Most Pokemon prefer to be with their trainers.

Nathan vs Terra Introductory Battle Round 1

Grid starts spamming Electro Ball, spinning and running and launching attacks very fast around his paralyzed opponent. Punishing him for his Stun Spore gambit!

Electro Ball 1
(6)(5)(6)(1)(5)(1)(4) Critical hit thanks to Lucky Chant!
13d6-5 vit = 8d6
(4)(1)(4)(1)(4)(5)(3) Haryima takes 4 dmg 8/12hp -1 pain.

Haryima beats his chest and roars!
Belly Drum 1
(1)(2)(2)(5)
Hariyama takes 6 dmg 2/12hp -2 pain
+3 Str, leaving Hariyama at a massive +5 Str!

Fake Out 2
8 dice, -4 actions, -2 pain = 2d6
(5)(6)
10 Str + 2 power -3 vit = 9d6
(1)(5)(5)(6)(5)(3) (3)(3)(6) Grid takes 5 dmg and flinches! 2/7hp -2 pain

Electro Ball 3
(1)(3)(6)(4)
(4)(5)(4)(1)(2)(4) Hariyama takes 4 dmg and faints!

THAT introductory battle was fast, in every sense of the word! Who's next?

Grid goes running around and around, still really hyper with energy and charge!

[Lord Windos]

(Iron, you forget about the Priority of THAT Move, mate. That would hit them before the second Electro Ball, or otherwise I would not have used Belly Drum at all....)

[Iron]

So I did! Glad Hariyama got a chance to show off its strength.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(Aww, but still fainted. :C )
