[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Btw, Delta Pokemon are rare enough even in the Safari Zone to draw a crowd. That Delta Parasect is something of a legend recently.

Shiva's been watching like every match she's able to witness with growing interest, it's as she has guessed: This was fun, this was surely something!~ Pretty soon she finds herself sharing the thrill with the participants - hoping that a Pokemon will obey when it is given orders with one of 'em, rejoicing over a well-placed crit with the other, being awed by an unexpected Pokemon with a third, all in a more 'silent' way typical for her though instead of super-obviously or visibly like some others in the crowd. She's both very glad that she can see all the battles here from the gatehouse AND that she's not participating actively herself, it was true that this Cup was a bit too competitive for her taste and she'd prefer to face challengers with her own known beloved Pokemon instead of freshly-caught ones.

She's keeping the company of them as well as Angela's, so if she'd react in a noticable way, Shiva will notice. It's not that she's paying extra-attention to that or so, it's more that Shiva's valuing her invitation and enjoys watching the matches with her.



As Spira's, Nathan's and Heart's turn respectively has come, the natural fae enthusiast perks up almost imperceptibly, finds herself wondering how they'll give themselves, what they'll bring into battle and how they'll handle things. She's silently wishing ALL three good luck, there's none she wouldn't deign winning this Cup more than the other. She knows that a good portion of fortune belongs to this however!

If Delta Parasect's some sort of legend, Shiva perhaps has heard some of the other Rangers speaking about that creature, maybe during the evening in the gatehouse before bedtime. To make it short and painfree, what's been told about that creature was creeping the guts out of her, Parasect itself are already scary beings in her view - nothing but a lifeless husk to the parasitic mushroom, eeeeeeeekkkk!! It actually wasn't much of a suprise to her that it was Nathan out of all things who sent this creature out of a Safari Ball, she had guess that he's try finding this Deltamon and that he tends to not care what others may think. 'Nice to see that you've succeeded and found what you've been looking for! ' she's thinking honestly to herself as she watches this ghostly grassy bug in action, 'But I'll prefer this particular Parasect to not come too close to me or my Pokemon, please take good care of it...' She shivers a bit over watching this Deltamon more, something about its movements was frightening her.

With that Delta Pikachu Heart was commanding it was pretty similar, though she wasn't really sure what Type this electric mouse she was supposed to call. It definitely looked like not having lost its electric traits, but something about it was very different, something about its nature: One longer look of Shiva was enough to understand that this particular Pika was much, muuuuch more aggressive than a regular forest-dwelling one, this was worrying her. She can't help but to feel a tad bit curious to see how it acts in the active battle and whether Heart is able to keep this charged mouse under control. She's sure however that she'll try to keep as much respectful distance towards this Pokemon of his as being allowed to.

Oo, a bit of a mirror match! Delta Pikachu may have the advantage given his dual types.

Btw, Delta Pokemon are rare enough even in the Safari Zone to draw a crowd. That Delta Parasect is something of a legend recently.

DPikachu: (4) + 8 = 12
Regular Pikachu was 11

Heart indeed wave his hands towards the crowd almost thanking everyone cheers. "Guess you have a few fans and fangirls now Pikachu, heh. Lets show them what you made of alright?"

Pikachu perks his purple ears and show a his fangs, almost like a vampire ready to bite his victims! "No hard feelings my friend, but I going foward with everything I have! I want too to win this Cup! First of all: Give him a medicine of his own poison with Nuzzle! Go ahead with Poison Jab! 5x! Lets show this crowd your poison type!"

Poison Jab Accuracy: Dex (5) + Fight (4) + Brawl (3) - Actions (5/6/7/8/9) = 7D6/6D6/5D6/4D6/3D6
Damage: Power (3) + STR (4) + STAB (1) = 8D6
Effect: D3 to poison the foe. Also, if that foe Pikachu have static, is Poison Jab capable of activade against my Pikachu?

Roar 2
(1)(1)(2)(2)(4)(5)(1)
The Lairon takes advantage of its (or the Gentleman's) natural intimidation and sends Beedrill back to Spira. Then Lairon begins running around bashing its rock head into things.

"Sir, you will need to gain control of your Pokemon before this challenger can send out his next Pokemon!"

"Lairon! Lairon, heel!"
(4) v (3)(3)

Lairon calms down a little, but you can see him sending dirty looks at his master.

Trapinch comes out to replace Beedrill!

Heart nod his head in great apreciation. "Heh, with that Quick Attack, came a quick victory. To me at least." Heart then decide what to do. "I guess my Pokemon is only a little hurt after that Quick Attack, so he gonna stay. Bring on your next Pokemon. D-Pikachu stays."

[Dragonstrike]

Beatrice sends out Slowbro.
(5) Still doesn't beat Doduo.

Even a (6) woudln't have beaten Doduo, funnily enough. That initiative roll does beat Delta Parasect, though.  Even without the Paralysis factored in.  Ah well.  And that's definitely interesting...an Aroma Lady with a bunch of Psychic types...huh.  How 'bout that.  That's the Safari Cup for ya!

In any case...chaaaarrrrge!  This Doduo only has one strategy: attack!!

"Give 'em what for, Doduo!  Hit 'em as hard as you can, then try to get some additional hits in!  Press the advantage as much as you can!"

Thrash 1 and 2
Acc: 13 - 1 Pain - 4/5 Actions = 8/7 D6
Dmg: 5* + 5 + STAB - 3 = 8 D6 (this could OHKO even without a crit if that Slowbro isn't overgrown!)
Eff: Rampage.  Confuses Doduo after the last attack.
Eff 2: Flinch (1)
Note: Disable would technically immediately stop the Rampage if it's used before the final hit, however, so Doduo might not necessarily become Confused due to Thrash at GM discretion if that happens

Double Hit 3 and 4
Acc: 13 - 1 Acc - 1 Pain - 6/7 Actions = 5/4 D6 D6
Dmg: 5* Str + 2 Pow + STAB - 3 Def = 5 D6 per hit
Eff: Flinch (1 per hit).  Double Action

(6) Going first.

Heart sharp his senses, feeling terrible vibes coming from that Pinsir. "Now we need to quick end this battle Pikachu. Go ahead with Nuzzle, then go with Poison Tail! 4x! We must land a really strong hit to beat that bug!"
