[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Spiritmon]

Meowth gets $250 in tips, doubled by the amulet coin = $500. Cress City isn't big on asking for autographs from celebrities, though they do like signed copies of art. Which could include an album or something, for a musician.

Heart take a look in the tips Meowth have receive. He was a little silent and then talk a bit. "Well...I was expecting to be a little high since there was such hundreds of people here...but cant blame since its not a pay show or something. But, well, I was expecting at least the double...I guess what they say hold some true: Art dont pay very well."

Heart decided also see the commotion who have happened in the west. Better be prepare. "Honchrkow. Onix. Lets take in what happening." Heart then mount again in D-Onix back while Honchkrow fly in that direction. Meowth also decided to stay in Heart shoulder. "So you want check too right...not a bad idea! The rest, return for now." Heart then return Viktor, Nidorina and A-Geodude. Then they head in the west direction.

It doesn't really understand the threat of a Psychic type, but Swiftfire has a chance to scare it off because it knows about fire.

(6)(3)(6)(5)(5)(5) (2)(6)(4) = 7, which is how many Will Victreebel has. Victreebel shrinks back into the bushes.

2XP for Gallade, Swiftfire, and Nathan.

Calam comes back out and eagerly leads the the way to what he was sensing earlier. Yep, it's Angela alright. She's clutching a fully inflated oversized Jigglypuff, floating a few feet above the ground, and raining down attacks on an Ariados while dodging its webs. She can't sustain this strategy very long, though. When she touches ground, she sees Calam and smiles. There's a big flash of pink light and the sound of a Pokeball, and Ariados is nowhere to be seen.

"Well, hello, gorgeous. Where's your master?"

Nice.  I'll definitely take not having to fight a status inflicting plant before a gym battle.  No need for anyone to get hurt unnecessarily, right?

Anyways, moving on...

Calam looks a little puzzled and somewhat intrigued by Angela.  Gourgeous?  That's a new one.  Gourgeous isn't a word that most would use to describe him...

Nathan's voice responds to Angela's question from the direction Calam came.  "Master probably isn't the correct term to use.  I'd say we're more like really good friends, particularly after everything we've been through together."

Nathan and Gallade then walk forward and stand next to Calam.  The SPARE CHANGE shirt Nathan's wearing today has an Absol pictured on it.  "Hello again, Angela.  Hope the wild pokemon haven't worn your pokemon down a whole bunch while my pokemon and I were warming up."

"No..." she sighs, "Even with type disadvantages, these Pokemon just don't challenge me like they used to. Are you here for a battle? What rules would you like to use?"

Looks like there was a disturbance in the block where Nathan's Uncle Oscar lives. That whole block has been leveled. To Heart's experienced eye, it looks like a powerful Pokemon attack is responsible. Ten cops are investigating.

Heart could reconize the place...And lost no time to send a message to everyone:

@Dragonstrike, @Lord Windos, @PhantomUnderYourDesk, @Mikaruge108

People, Heart here! I in Cress City, and something happened here: A whole block here in Cress City have been leveled, problably by some kind of Powerful Pokemon responsible for that attack! There are cops investigating the place. If any of you guys can teleport or fly here, please come as quick possible!

Heart also send a picture of the place to show where is the place its in chaos and Nathan might reconize as the block Nathan uncle lives. Heart equipped Trevenant with the Leftlovers and make a change in his team in a close PC to put Nidorina in the PC and bring Natu with him. He feel he might need a quick teleport. 

Heart aproach the closest cop and ask what the hell have happened.

Posei stretches and internalizes all the water. He's a little weak despite the full HP restoration, but he's in a lot better shape than a lesser Pokemon might be!


Geo leads you where Area 6 curls around behind a ridge. This, in some ways, is the secret heart of the Safari Zone. It's the geographic center, it's hard to get to and rarely visited, and it has a reputation for containing strange Pokemon. In ancient times, it was held sacred, but few alive today understand the significance. Maybe someone like Woad.

Rarity: (3)(3)(4)(2)(1)(5) (3)(3)(3)(1)(4)(3) (6) = 12 Safari Successes. 

Evasion: (2)(2)(5)(6)(4)(2) (5)

Just before you can round the horn, a massive boulder slams into the ground at Terra's side. Up on the ridge is a Diggersby, lifting another colossal boulder with one ear. The other ear is shoveling mud, triggering a mudslide rushing down at Terra. The Diggersby's color scheme is different, too - mud washes right off him, leaving him sparkling clean, and his fur is blaze orange with black trim. 

"That's a shiny! I'll refund your money if you let me catch it! But the choice is yours and the customer is always right."

Seeing that Shiny Diggersby caused his heart to jolt in excitement, and a wide grin stretched across his face as he eyed in and plucked two Pokeballs from his belt. Ever since he's first spotted and learnt more about the burrowing bunnies and their immense Strength + versatility, he was instantly and deeply interested in them, and wanted nothing more than to become partners with one. Now that one of them has presented itself towards him - a Shiny no less too.....

"No. This catch is mine. Thank you for the offer, though."

With that said, the sagely monk sends forth Pokeballs and summons Mikey and Dunny, and wastes absolutely zero time in pointing at the luxest lagomorph and issuing a decree.

"Mikey, the Paralyze them with Stun Spore, put them to Sleep with Spore, then use Absorb! Dunny, Burn them with Wil-lo-wisp, then use Confuse Ray! Want to catch that bunny, so wear it down and don't let it escape!"

Orders: Michael will be using Stun Spore, Spore, and Absorb , while Dunny uses Confuse Ray and Wil-lo-wisp to further heap on the Status. If Shiny Diggersby dodges any Status effect/they miss/they are cured of the Status, repeat the Move until it proccs/its clear it has no effect on it. The dread specter should be at 7/9 HP after a night's rest, but given that due to its typing and Ability, the Shiny Diggersby can't touch him except with Strike. Capture orders are to wait until its been hit by at least 3 Status Effect (-3 Will) before Terra starts tossing out balls, but if S.B. gets down to - 5 on their roll at the end of their Round, then Balls will be thrown at that point. I've been waiting for a chance to grab one of the top rate Pokemon, and now's the time to fulfill that old wish of mine!

As for the mudslide, Terra's just going to tank it. He has *6 Vitality and is stable on his feet, so its not like they can seriously cause him much harm with it.....I hope.

Moves:

Michael: 3 Actions - Stun Spore (-3 Accuracy), Spore, and Absorb (STR + 1, Heal 1/2 Damage Dealt, min of 1)
Conditional Orders: Repeat Stun Spore and/or Spore if they failed to procc on Target, or said Target rids themselves of the Statuses.
Dunny: 2 Actions - Wil-lo-wisp (-3 Accuracy), Confuse Ray
Dice Pool: 10D6 (Channel)

Mike: (6) + 7 = 13
Dunny: (5) + 7 = 12
Diggersby: (4) + 3 + 4 = 11

Diggersby Round 1

Mudslide: (5) Terra takes 1 dmg
CD: (2)(3)(5)

Stun Spore 1
(6)(1)(5)(4)
Diggersby was paralyzed

Willowisp 1
(4)(4)(1)(6)(4)
 Diggersby was burned!

Diggersby's HP was halved 4/8hp -2 pain. He's in big trouble now.

Spore 2
(5)(4)(5)(6)(2)(1)
Diggersby is spared further embarrassed by going to sleep.

This is toward the end of Encounter 2, btw.

"Sir, please stay back. What happened? Why, someone or someones attacked this block, presumably with a Pokemon. No one saw the perpetrator, but it seems to be a Ground attack. We're still trying to see if anyone was hurt or anything was taken from the wreckage. So far, it doesn't seem like any valuables have gone missing. Herdier and Drilbur and Wigglytuff and our specially trained Sableye have found that a lot of the valuables are still just left buried in the rubble, isn't that odd? No one saw a wild Pokemon approaching, by the way. But if you hear anything, let us know, please."

[Dragonstrike]

"No..." she sighs, "Even with type disadvantages, these Pokemon just don't challenge me like they used to. Are you here for a battle? What rules would you like to use?"

"Yup.  I was thinking simple trainer item rules, like the ones Zamboni uses.  1 or 2 standard Potions for the battle.  Any preference on which quantity we allow?  Zamboni allows 1 standard Potion."

"...also, I have one more condition: if we battle here in the Safari Zone, we need to be near a body of water, just in case.  It might be easier to just battle on the Safari Cup's battlefield, though.  No wild pokemon to disturb us there, either."  He doesn't say exactly why, but he 100% means what he's saying.  Baaaaad things might happen if there isn't water nearby...though for all Angela knows, Nathan might just be wanting to use an aquatic pokemon that needs to be in the water to be effective.

"Dont worry about me. I a Ace Trainer with lot of experience. I can handle that. I also have a Onix with some dig abilities, so I may lend a hand. Also, is there any wounded people or someone dead? Any info is necessary."

Heart begin to help search the place with D-Onix digging anything there. Natu and Meowth both of them in Heart shoulders, searching the place.

Insight+Knowledge+Alert to see if he can find something. Total Dice roll: 9D6.

"There's a beach over there on the boundary of Area 6. 1 purple Potion is fine. And Held Items allowed, right? You can get ready behind that stand of trees, and I'll get ready over there behind that hill. Meet on the beach when ready."

"We've found 3/4 of the people known to be on this block, safe and sound. We're still searching for the inhabitants of these three houses." He points to three houses, including Morgusi's and Warren's.

Onix is willing to help dig. He gains 2XP and Heart gains 4XP for heroism. 

(3)(6)(2)(4)(4)(2) (5)(5)(4)

Heart notices most or all of Keni's art is missing.

As you stare into the wreckage, Natu stares too. Natu hops down into the wreckage and pokes around, then swivels suddenly to meet your eye.
The bird's mouth opens, and, unmoving, an eerie voice issues forth from it.

"As the future meets the past
As the comet comes at last
Decide between your friend and foe
Who will come and who will go?

Darkness shows the way to light
Vision of bird and girl and knight.
Sword of angle, sword of steel
Hero save and villain steal

Comet's bane within the tombs
Shining knight shows hidden rooms.
Villain's fortress standing tall
Slice of night shows hidden hall."

Then Natu is surrounded by purple light, growing, its wings lifting it above the rubble to take flight for the first time. The light fades, revealing a more noble and even more mysterious Pokemon!

Congratulations? Your Natu has evolved into Xatu!
