Mellow Mel is a hippie, complete with tie-dye and long beard/hair.

"Wow. You seem like a strong trainer. I like the way you talk though, so I'll battle you. $500 alright? Or less is fine too. Heck, we don't have to wager anything if you don't want to."

Ready for first Pokemon.

Spira is a little taken aback by Mel's garb and demeanor, but manages to say
"Hello there, 500 sounds fair; let's get started! Just don't expect me to go easy on you, go Toya!"

"I dunno, man, taking it easy is the spice of life! Uh, something like that!"
Quagsire ambles over.

Quagsire: (5) + 3 Dex + 0 Survival = 8
Toya: (1) + 6 = 7

"Okay, Toya, let's get the initiative! Use Shadow Sneak followed by Bind to restrain it!"
Shadow Sneak
Accuracy: Dex+Survival+Stealth-2 Actions= 4D6
Damage: Strength+2= 5D6
Notes: Priority +1

Bind
Accuracy: Dex+Fight+Brawl-2 Actions-2 innate penalty=8D6

Mechanics:
I'm enjoying this chaotic Encounter much! Purrloin definitely stays out, but whether Raphael does so as well - I'm leaving this up to him to decide. Him fainting will mean I can't bring him with me to the Safari Zone for the rest of day, but there's still volunteering as a Ranger with him on the next Day?

Since you mentioned earlier that you didn't want any fainting in this battle, he's happy to oblige your wish and forfeit his matchup - as if he'd fainted, but he'll still be easy to heal this way!

Aww!~ As Raphael makes his decision clear by displaying a graceful u-turn into her direction, he is gifted a thankful smile before being pulled into a - due to his wounds - careful but no less tender hug. Shiva even nuzzles his featherly coat a bit. "Wishing to stay with me than being pinioned to a sick-bed for the rest of day? Oh you!~ Thank you, my dear... You did very great, enjoy your well-deserved rest for now, will you?" A melodic chirp later, Raphael is withdrawn into his familiar Ball.

In return for that, Shiva draws a sby now slightly worn Ball: From it, a Pokemon manifests that Frappe and inseng have already seen: It's a very vivid fluffball of white cotton! She playfully places a peck on Shiva's right cheek, lets out an amused cry and chases after the twins for a bit before softly taking her place beside Purrloin. They exchange what looks like a high-five, Cottonee seems very eager to show a bit of her hidden skills and powers! Was about time.

Shiva shouts out towards the speedy and energetic twins, her voice is calm and she's taking effort to make her words heard. "Eh, hey, you two there....! If you, maybe, haven't noticed, mind to please send out your two next Pokemon? Poor Accelgor and Munchlax were defeated by my cat and archangel, but well played!"

The Shieldmaiden sends out a Klefki! Many of the keys it has collected have been used to seal away criminals in handcuffs or cells! For a few infamous criminals, it was the last Pokemon they ever saw before solitary or high-security confinement!

Klefki: (3) + 3 Dex + 5 Survival = 11
Michael: (1) + 7 = 8

Camper Rudd Round 4

Megahorn 1
(6)(5)(6)(3)(2)(4) (5) It's a critical hit. The weight difference is just so extreme.
(5)(6)(4)(4)(5)(6)(2) Castform takes 6 dmg.

Rudd sighs. "Sometimes it's just not worth crawling out of my sleeping bag. Castform, Rain Dance."

Rain Dance 1
(3)(2)(4)(6)
The weather turned rainy. Half the town is under rainclouds now.

"Alright, that's really all I can do, I guess. Just...overwhelming power. Castform, return."

Castform forfeits, leaving Nathan the victor! Every time Rudd glances at your eyes, he flinches a little, but as the battle ends the effect dies down.

"So, you'll be going on Safari with this money?"

Nathan's Pokemon get 8XP each, and Nathan 12 XP.

The Shieldmaiden sends out a Klefki! Many of the keys it has collected have been used to seal away criminals in handcuffs or cells! For a few infamous criminals, it was the last Pokemon they ever saw before solitary or high-security confinement!

Klefki: (3) + 3 Dex + 5 Survival = 11
Michael: (1) + 7 = 8

Seeing as Klelfi is a Kalosian Pokemon, Terra has zero clue what it is beyond a Steel type Pokemon, while Mikey is instantly on guard and gives it a wary stare the moment they detected its latent Fairy potential. Because of that, the mountain of a man takes full precautions against the key bearer, issuing orders to his mushroom of champions briskly and evenly.

"Mikey, put down key Pokemon quickly with all you got. Think it might have nasty tricks, so be prepared for that too. Do your best."

Orders: Time for conditional orders!: 

- Default series of Actions: Michael will use Stun Spore and Three Drain Punches against Kelfki. Simple, but effective!
- If they use Crafty Shield OR Magic Coat first, then the first Stun Spore will be substituted with a Drain Punch, Stun Spore will moved to the 2nd Action, and then Two Drain Punches. Since Kelfi is going first no matter what, the mushroom bro has plenty of time to react to them using a Shield Move and switch it up, as its priority doesn't matter in this case!
- If they use Heal Block at some in the first Round, all Drain Punches will be substituted with Mach Punch. If I'm not getting any healing, might as well just go with Priority to wear them down FAST.
- If they use Taunt, then only Drain Punches/Mach Punches (If Heal Block goes up) will be used (4 Total)
- 12 XP will be spent to increase Terra's Channel to 3 in general. His focus has finely honed to a razor edge by his battle instincts blarring how tough Brazen is, so he's more able to use his Pokemon esoteric Moves now!

That's all for now! Let the Tough Fight commence!

Moves:

Stun Spore
Accuracy: DEX (2) + Fight (5) + Channel (3) - 3 Accuracy - 4 Actions = 3D6 Dice, 2D6 if its the 2nd Action
Effect: Paralyze Target!

Drain Punch/Mach Punch
Accuracy: 11D6 Dice - 5/6/7 Actions = 6/5/4D6 Dice
Damage: STR (5) + 3/2 + STAB = 9/8D6 Base Damage
Effect: Healing 1/2 Damage Dealt for Drain Punch (Min recovery of 1 HP), Priority 1 for Mach Punch.

(Can't use Items in Mellow Mel Battle, Mika. That means either keeping Dusknoir out and dealing with the Sleep, or switch them out into something that can screw over Quagsire better)
