[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Well there is a few things I could do: I could use Alphonse Hypnosis to put P-Bulba to sleep, Confuse Ray of Viktor or Fake Out of Meowth. Buuuut right now Heart is very pissed of because he get ambushed again. He would probably faint that P-Bulba or...*Looking the Pink Nuzleaf from Mt. Sentry* Yeah. That's not gonna be easy. Just let me write Heart reaction of everything. I sick and tired from yesterday. Work in the college yesterday.

If you're sick and tired, take a break and breather maybe with a nice warm or cold drink, it's Sunday after all.

Hooray for Shiva being not the only one who's enraged by being blinded by Primal Bulbasaur here and subsequently the Eevee Family being startled away! *high-fives* We shall not faint it according to Nathan though, but I'd guess inflicting some pain penalization should be fine.

*Hight fives too* I agree. As much I would like to tear apart that P-Bulbasaur leaf by leaf, we not gonna faint (or kill) that Bulbasaur. That Fake Out gonna hurt gonna hurt a little, but it will not faint it. I will not even hold the damage, since I gonna use full strengh. Charm gonna be useful in case that Bulbasaur attack us.

Okay, I've edited my orders a bit incl. Tanukizoon detecting the wild Primal Bulbasaur as the attacker.

I think I also decided which of my fairies will learn Dazzling Gleam via the TM given how each reacted to the disk in a small flashforward - Should I spoil it? I don't really want to if I don't have to or you're being very curious.

Nah, you don't have to. After all, we'll find out in due time, and its not like we NEED to know who learns the Move ASAP, you know?

As for Spiritmon, if you need to rest more or take a break after college, go for it! Working tired is almost never a good idea for creativity, unless you have no other choice and your on the clock. That situation usually inspires Great progress in me, but not so sure it wil with you.

Terra's not going to attack P-Bulba except for Held Back Fake Outs from Meowth/Hariyama (Mikey's being recalled for now) and a T-Wave from Melly (If he's not semi perma blinded, otherwise he's hightailing it out of the cave and leaving Melly to help out), as he remembers Nathan's orders and isn't too pissed/suprised about what happened. To him, P-Bulba was just defending itself/warding off attackers, so the[s not going to begrudge them for doing that.

Hooray! I look forward to the small scene of teaching and seeing how the decided 'Mon will enjoy the move. ^^

Sure it was just defending itself from us as potential attackers and intruders - but it still inflicted pain to us via that Flash and most likely gave the young Eevee and its Umbreon-Dad I was carefully trying to get to know another shock shortly after Ray's Flash, calling Shiva's rage in the process. :C Oh well, maybe when it (the wild Primal Bulba) is securely contained I can try to approach them once more.

It's technically not Pain, it's -3 Accuracy (that doesn't go away until some eyedrops are used [Nathan got some from Nurse Joy, just in case] or an hour has passed).  Slight difference. But an important one. if it were Pain, the wild Primal Bulbasaur wouldn't have ignored Ray's FLASH entirely.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh... Well, you're right on it being a difference, But I actually don't mean the literal PokeRole-Pain in the means of a 'Pain Penalization' or 'Damage', more the figurative one that comes from being hit by the Flash: I've been blinded once at a parking lot by another car's headlights and it indeed HURTS the eyes for a while.

[Iron]

Phantom dear, your being arguementative again over a small detail like P-Bulba's  typing. Please don't let yourself get riled...

Hariyama isn't out, but Michael (The Breloom) is along with Melly and Meowth (Who is doing his own thing without Terra's supervision but his permission until its time to leave), so Wild P-Bulba could have been provoked by the martial mushroom instead quite easily.

Iron, is it possible for Terra to backtrack out of the cave by memory/Melly's help, and simply wait out the worst of the blindness? Or possibly get an Alert and/or Evasion Roll to prevent him from being blinded in the first place, since his High Survival + Middling Alert + Actually seeing Wild P. Bubla  and remembering what happened last time could give him enough time to simply.....cover his eyes, dive to the floor, or press his face against Melly's side to block the FLASH. Unless P-Bubla just gets to fire off a FLASH without an Alert Roll for us to react to, in which case *Shrugs* oh well....

Bulbasaur was ready for you guys because you were making lots of noise and taking lots of time outside the cave, so there's no evasion roll. But your Survival is high enough that you can certainly remember how to get out of the cave.

We'll say Breloom was blinded then.

[Iron]

Hariyama and Meowth could always apply Flitch guaranteed with Fake Out, and if held back its unlikely either will do enough damage to serious hurt P-Bulba. All it would take is just coordinating a Pokeball being tossed out right after/while its Flinched, which may or may not be possible. Iron, is it?

I hadn't thought of it before, but I'll say yes it is possible.

Don't have any Pokémon capable of Disabling myself, but I'm wondering if Ghost Curse could count as a 'status' , given its mechanics in PokeRole. At the very least, it will ACT like it has one, what with it being liberal with the (1)(1) s …

That won't count as a status, but the (1*)(1*) will apply to the Will roll, so it's just as good as a status.

Fainting doesn't apply a -6, only a -5.

Alright, then Terra's GTFOing, and Melly will do her part in Paralyzing the Grassy Gemstone while keeping a watchful eye on any Pokémon that want to be opportunistic and attack the team!

Alright!

Curse is arguably better than a simple Status, as while Status just removes a Dice from being rolled, Curse outright subtracts 1 Success from a given roll, which in conjuction with Pressure and/or other Status makes it almost literally IMPOSSIBLE for a Pokémon to escape capture (Assuming you get it down to only 1-2 Capture Dice). Nasty stuff, Ghost 'status' Moves are....

My mistake!

[Spiritmon]

@Iron, Fake Out its a priority move. In theory, it should be a move who would be go first and Flinch P-Bulbasaur.
