[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Candice blinks a few times in surprise, as does Weavile.  "...is that a Ninjask?  Wow, that's not something I get to see very often in this gym..."

Round 7 Initiatives
Weavile: 15
Hime: (4) + 10 = 14

Not enough to outspeed Weavile this Round, but if she can survive until the next one...

"Hime. You must survive this round. No matter what. Dodge the next Ice attack she throws against you. Then set Double Team. And get ready to take some energy with Leech Life."

As a side note: She is holding Life Orb, so it's 2 extra damage for her in exchange of recoil damage. Don't also forget Speed Boost. And extra order if she get low life (around half of her HP or close) Final Gambit will be used instead of the other orders. I mentioned before it could be necessary if needed.

Kogeki vs Candice Round 7

Weavile does indeed lead off with an Ice type move!  Another freezing cold fist hurtles toward the bug princess!

Ice Punch 1
13 - 2 = 11
(5)(6)(3)(2)(2)(6)(5)(4)(5)(3)(4) 7 successes.  That's a crit, and a hard to dodge one at that.
Evade 1: (6)(5)(3)(1)(6)(6)(1) 3 successes.  It's at least enough to keep Ice Punch from critting!
3 + 4 + STAB - 3 + SE = 5 D6 + 1
(6)(5)(3)(2)(3) Hime takes 3 damage! 5/8 HP -1 Pain
(-)

Weavile doesn't want to use that 4th moveslot yet, so more Dark type moves it is!


Night Slash 2
13 - 4 = 9
(5)(5)(2)(3)(6)(6)(3)(3)(2) That's barely a crit.
(6)(4)(6)(1)(4)(3)(1) Hime takes 3 damage! 2/8 HP -2 Pain

Ack!  Emergency, emergency!  Their plan didn't work as intended!  Hime decides that it's time to bail, or she's going to be toast!  She charges at reckless, supersonic speed into Weavile!!  Time for some ramming force!!

Final Gambit 2
10 - 4 - 2 = 4
(6)(6)(1)(6) *WHAM!!!*
(6)(6)(5)(1)(5)(3)(1)(5)(5)(5)(4) Weavile takes 7 damage and faints from the force of the collision!
Hime faints as well!  She sure showed that Dark type, though, so she faints with a smile on her face!  ...maybe.  It's kinda hard to tell since she's a bug...

Candice blinks again.  "...huh.  Well, didn't see that coming..."

She shakes her head to clear her thoughts.  "Well, no matter.  Are you ready to face one of my strongest pokemon, Kogeki?  I'm sure they're going to love meeting you!~"

The bright sunlight fades, and the weather returns to normal.

Alright, 3 down, one to go.  Who's going to be brave enough to be the first to face Candice's ace for this battle?

"Well, I guess we both will. I will also bring my Ace Pokemon, and one of my strongest one. Susano'o! Show your blades!"

[Dragonstrike]

Candice sends out her Glaceon!  "He's not gotten many chances to fish recently, so I think this should be a good opportunity for him!"

Round 8 Initiatives
Susano'o: (6) + 9 = 15
Glaceon: (4) + 10 = 14

Susano'o is ready to bash some heads! He gets ready to raise his fins in sync with Kogeki and show off what they can REALLY do.

Susano'o is ready to bash some heads!  He gets ready to raise his fins in sync with Kogeki and show off what they can REALLY do.

"Alright...let's do this. Since it's the final battle, there is no reason to not do our best!" Kogeki than show his item: The Mega Kunai. Incrustrated in Susano'o fins, the Mega Stone begin to shine. "Mega....Evolution!" A tornado of water surrounded around Susano'o. The tornado then become the sphere of Mega Energy, until the moment it shatter and get slash to pieces, revealing Mega Daikatuna! "Susano'o! Let's show our true power! Swords Dance! Then go with Iron Head with Sheer Force! And Sheer Force Waterfall!"

And now, time to raise some stats! Using 18 XP to raise Contest from 2 to 3, and using the remained XP to raise Perform from 1 to 2, keeping him with enough dice to Perform Swords Dance without use Will Points!

[Dragonstrike]

Susano'o's Level also increases by 3 after that exp is spent!

Kogeki vs Candice Round 8

Susano'o raises his swords into an offensive stance!

Swords Dance 1
8 - 2 = 6
(4)(2)(2)(2)(4)(2)
+2 Strength for Susano'o!

Glaceon breathes a blast of cold air onto his opponent!  Candice is going to need every advantage she can get!

Icy Wind 1
12 - 1 - 2 = 9
(6)(5)(3)(1)(1)(2)(1)(3)(6)
2 + 4 + STAB - 4* - QR = 3 D6 - 2
(4)(3)(4) No damage, but Susano'o's Dex is decreased by 1.

Glaceon then attempts to press his newfound Initiative advantage with a move that should actually deal some damage!  He opens his mouth wide and shoots a ball of shadowy energy out of it!

Shadow Ball 2
12 - 4 = 8
(6)(3)(6)(3)(6)(4)(6)(2) It's extra large, too!  Crit!
3 + 4 - 4* + Crit = 5 D6
(1)(2)(2)(3)(1) It's just not Candice's day today.  No damage!
(2) No Sp Def drop either

Susano'o lowers his bladed head and rams into Glaceon at full force!

Sheer Force Iron Head 2
8* - 4 = 4
(6)(4)(2)(2)
6* + 3 + STAB + 2 SF - 5 + SE = 7 D6 + 1
(4)(1)(1)(4)(5)(3)(2) Glaceon takes 3 damage, then eats her Sitrus Berry! 10/10 HP

Candice calls out to her frosty fox!  "Take the risk, Glaceon!  BLIZZARD!!"

And her frosty fox responds by taking a deep breath...

Blizzard 3
12 - 3 - 6 = 3 D6
(4)(3)(5) ...and blasting Susano'o with massively powerful, freezing cold air!!
4 + 5 + STAB - 4* - QR = 6 D6 - 2
(4)(3)(1)(3)(5)(2)(5) Susano'o takes 1 damage! 7/8 HP
(5) Nope, Candice didn't get the effect she was hoping for.

Susano'o stumbles slightly after that blow.  What?!  An Ice move damaged him?!  Impossible!!  He'll show you raw power!!

He charges at Glaceon, cloaking himself in water!!

Sheer Force Waterfall 3
8* - 6 = 2
(4)(3)
(3)(5)(5)(3)(4)(6)(3) Glaceon takes 4 damage! 6/10 HP -1 Pain

Candice issues another order!  "Go for the Confusion!"  Glaceon breathes in again...

Water Pulse 4
12 - 1 - 8 = 3
(6)(2)(1)
4 + 2 - 4 - Res = 2 D6 - 1
(4)(2) No damage!
(4)(3)(3) No Confusion either!  This isn't looking good for Glaceon and Candice!

"We're not finished yet!  Fight until the end!"

Don't forget the +1 in Strength, Defense and Insight thanks to his Mega Form Dragonstrike or the effects of Sheer Force.

Kogeki vs Candice Round 9

Glaceon's doing his best to get in whatever damage he can!

Candice has to gamble on that Freeze chance, though, or she's gonna have a hard time!

Blizzard 1
12 - 3 - 1 - 2 = 6
(3)(4)(1)(2)(1)(6)
4 + 5 + STAB - 4* - QR = 6 D6 - 2
(6)(2)(3)(4)(4)(3) Susano'o takes 1 damage! 6/8 HP -1 Pain
(4) Nope!  This is probably the end for Candice's Glaceon!

A point that Susano'o is going to emphasize with his pointy head!

SF Iron Head 1
8* - 2 - 1 = 5
(3)(1)(3)(3)(4)
(5)(5)(1)(5)(3)(4)(5) Glaceon takes 6 damage and faints as Susano'o sends the icy fox flying across the room!

Fortunately, Glaceon isn't hurt any further than that, as they collide with one of the snowmen that's being used as a training dummy!  Said snowman explodes and scatters powdery white flakes everywhere, and Glaceon lies on that spot, 110% unconscious.

Victory!

Candice rushes over to make sure her prized fox is okay, then breathes a sigh of relief when she sees everything is fine.  She then recalls Glaceon and walks over to Kogeki to congratulate him on the victory.

"...*sigh*...it's always the steel types that do me in, apparently.  *chuckle*  Guess I need to talk to Byron about getting in some practice.  Well, here's your reward!  You've certainly earned it!  I haven't had to face this many tough challengers in a row in looooonnnnngggg time."

Kogeki obtains an Icicle Badge, TM 72 Avalanche, and $8500. (This was a little harder than Karen's battle, but not quite as difficult as Randolph's)

Kogeki gets 15 exp.  Susano'o, Heracross, Nami, Nagi, and Hime all get 6 exp.

Congratulations!

Juhani is reeeeaaaaallly awkward when it comes to receiving human affection.  She doesn't bite, but it still makes her a little uncomfortable.  It's not something she's used to any more, but it's not something she's entirely unfamiliar with, either.  She relaxes a lot once Kee withdraws his hand.

This.... This behaviour from the snowy turtle is actually highly worrying for Kee. He does withdraw his hand quickly and makes a mental note of not petting (or, not touching even) for the time being, but it'll be on his mind as he proceeds to people-watch here at the port. Octavia jumps in offers herself to be stroked and petted to heart's content, which he eventually does somewhat absent-mindedly. She makes sure that this special Grotle sees her glance saying 'See? There's nothing bad about this, it's nice!~'.

Well, at least the turtle didn't slap Kee's hand away when trying to make first contact like a particular other Pokemon of his. There's hope!

Ninetales moves between Kee and the eggs before the colorful trainer can pick one.  "Ah ah ah, not so fast.  Ninetales and the father still need to test and observe you and your pokemon before we can give you the youngun'.  I think Ninetales wants to see how that Shiny Sylveon of yours handles herself in a battle.  So, how about it?  A quick 2v2 double battle with no fainting allowed.  I use Ninetales and the father, you use Sylveon and another pokemon of your choice.  That change your mind any?"

(Ohhhh! That'll certainly take up the Encounter Slot, cool. I'll nullify the free 200$ then.)


Damn, in the end he did accidently agitated that kitsune-mother by being a tad too forward, as the fox moves in front of him, he almost immediately backs off. If there is one thing he does NOT suffer, then it's the grudge of an adult Ninetales mixed with the wrath of a protective mum.

But he quickly recovers and lights up again. "Ohhhhh, good call, a good call indeed, ya wanna make me EARN one of the Eggs, now do ya?~ How clever of ya Felix, and yes I am still interested, these battle conditions sound all fine." At these words from her papa, Octavia tonelessly whines a little and ducks deeper into his bag with only her eyes fixed on that Ninetales. Like, you want to make me battle this firerly fox? (> □ < l|l) "Yes I will, and you will do well. Calm down again..." is what Kee quitely responses.

Oh right, and he's super-curious about getting to see who the father is of the Vulpix is! His half-smug smile neatly expresses that. "Well then, we've got a deal then. But... should we go and find some spot to battle where we're safe from all that hail? I'd prefer to, but it's up to ya."
