Gym Leader Tanuki vs Nathan Round 6

You can see Tanuki trying to puzzle Orthros out. "Looks like a psychic type for sure...start with a Feint Attack to test this theory. Then we'll keep your fourth move in reserve, maybe your strongest offense. Oh, and we'll focus on dodging any unexpected moves."

Terra Introductory Battle vs Shiva





Shiranui nods to Terra. Grimly. This will be just like they practiced...hopefully.

He moves another step to fully cover Basteele. And then everything goes nuts.

The grass is shredded to leave scorch marks and bare earth. A deafening roar. Shards of metal going everywhere, most of them into Shiranui. Forretress shrunken in on itself, its eyes no longer visible, and big craters in its shell.

Explosion 1
(6)(5)(5)(1)(4)(2)
(4)(2)(4)(6)(6)(1) (3)(2)(4)(2) (5)
Tropius takes 6 nonlethal dmg and faints.
Azumarill takes 6 nonlethal dmg 2/9hp -2 pain.
Forretress faints, and in its confusion (Insight -2 = 0) it deals 1 Lethal damage to itself. It's still smoking.

Shiranui's rubbery body absorbs most of the blast, causing the remnant to be nonlethal and relatively safe. He's designed for this kind of thing. But as Shiranui faints and rolls over, Terra sees a big chunk of metal sticking from Shiranui's belly. Shiranui takes 1 point of lethal damage.

The trainers are fine, I'm sure Terra wouldn't order the attack until all humans are at a safe distance away.

(For Terra's information, there's no risk of accidentally going Lethal unless the Pokemon is confused or other very unusual circumstances are in play).

Azumarill stands alone on the battlefield, looking deafened.

In mere moment, Terra had already recalled both Pokémon, his whole being serious, alarmed, and more than a little anxious as grimaced at both his partner's balls. He knew fully well how dangerous an Explosion from his armed arthropod was -he of all people would be the least like to underestimate its sheer destructive power - but even with that he was still caught off guard by the Lethal result it had on his Pokémon. Thank heavens he drilled all his Pokémon (Sans Mikey) and himself on how to dampen/handle the blast of the Move, should Basteele somehow fail to restrain its full, devastating might....

'....Note to self: Don't order Basteele to use Explosion when she is Confused. …What do I do now....?'

Several long moments passed as he gravely stared at his Pokeballs, eyebrows tightly scrunched together as he pondered just what he want to do about this unexpected development. ...He then quietly shook his head to himself and put them away, before pulling off Genie's Dusk Ball + Mikey's Pokeball's from his belt, and turned to regard Shiva with worry, seriousness, yet on the whole...calm. 

"....I have chosen my next Pokémon, and are ready to continue our battle. ...Are you too, Shiva?"

While one might assume that he was callious disregarding his Lethally wound Pokémon to continue his match, that wasn't the case. In reality, he only choose to resume after intensely debating with himself whether or not forfeiting the match to immediately treat his Pokémon was worth making all his partner's hard earned efforts in vain. That, and whether or not it was fair to the heartfelt woman to adjourn his match over an freak misplay on his part.


In the end, he decided to resume the battle, and the immediately rush off to the Pokémon Center to get Shiranui and Basteele treated. It would be several hours before their lives would be threatened by their critical injuries, while the match would only take a few minutes at most, so he felt that staying and finishing what was started was for the best. However, if Shiva didn't want to fight him anymore, he'd be more than willing to stop. Wouldn't hold it against her to, as the aftermath of that Explosion...it nearly made him lost his nerve. 


That, and he could leave for the Center all the quicker, so either option was a 'win' to him, for what its worth...

Let's see what Tanuki's ace is, and if Gallade can somehow strike first!  This is a really close one...every little point of HP counts now...
