IT'SA YOU, GOBBLE.

Rotom’s name is a hard one. You reflect as you watch the energetic, buzzing Pokemon. The Rotom zooms from one spot to another, stopping randomly, inspecting every little thing. It seems to like to really investigate anything electronic, checking out the bags with pokedexes, or zooming between a surprised Hana’s legs to investigate the source of electricity it must be able to sense.

What you know about Rotom is that despite it’s fear of being locked away, it likes to be mischievous. But it’s different from Belladonna. She seems to like getting one-up on others. Rotom seems to just enjoy goofing around as it’s focus instead. At least, that’s the initial impression you have.

It stops in mid air in front of your face, curious. You guess you’ve been staring at it and not saying anything for awhile. A good name that comes to mind is...

Rotom is a genderless Pokemon, but I'd probably shorten Ghost Pepper to just Pepper when talking to them.

This week is my finals week, so been buried under those tests. Other than that been doing well. How about you, Gobble, how are you doing?

Rotom stays in place, but slowly rotates upside down as it stares back. It quickly loses interest and begins to very persistently carve doodles into the nearby log that was being used as a seat.

There’s something about the shape, and more importantly, the attitude Rotom has, that just makes an association in your brain. You watch it slowly burn the wood, and it just clicks.

“Ghost Pepper.” You say.

Rotom turns around.

“I want to call you Ghost Pepper.” You reiterate. “Maybe Pepper for short. How’s that sound?”

It blinks.

“It’s just, I’ve nicknamed all my Pokemon. It’s sort of a ritual at this point. Sort of a way to really welcome you to the team. Do you like it?”

On hearing your explanation, Roto...Ghost Pepper looks excited. It zaps more artwork into the wood now. Two blobs that look vaguely like you and it.

“Awesome! Glad to have you, Ghost Pepper.”

Just beyond the newly named Rotom, you catch a glimpse of Polu and the psychic girl from last night emerging from the far off bushes. They quickly stop holding hands. Polu notices you noticing, and as she goes to her peers, he comes to you.

You give Polu a quick fistbump. Despite your attempts at being subtle, Jane notices. Nothing really gets by her.

“Dude.” He whispers. “Oh man, if you noticed than everyone noticed.” He pauses. “Uh, no offense, bro.”

Well, you can’t exactly say he’s entirely wrong.

To your surprise, he seems almost as stressed as he is proud. “I don’t know what happened. We were just talking, then arguing, then...things happened!”

“Arguing?”

“Yeah. We got on the topic of religion, and well, I guess I was tired because I said a few things about what some people on Kontote believe and, uh...well, that’s complicated bro, but the point is, it went from friendly to passionate real quick. She was just all over me in a blink!”

“Then what?”

“Then it got a different sort of passionate.” He smiles, but looks down and ashamed at the same time. He’s both giddy and worried. “She didn’t break any vows, technically, but man, this is bad. What if her sisters find out?” He holds his head. “What if the gang finds out? What did I drag her into?”

Oh jeez. It crumbles your crisp to see him so stressed out after all the problems he’s been dealing with.

“Keira was worried, and Keira was worried and if anyone would know the risks, she would.”

“Risks about what, bro?”

“Oh, uh, hugging people, and the potential for rumors.” You follow up. You hope he doesn’t get the wrong idea. Keira's a good friend, and probably wouldn’t appreciate it if you have anyone the impression you and her were doing something...like that. You catch her doing some very odd stretches over on the other side of the camp. She smiles at you, looks flustered, and falls over. You guess you distracted her.

“Ah man.” He stresses again. “I keep doing this. I have no idea what I’m doing anymore. Life used to be so simple, bro.”

“Polu, first take a breath. If she didn’t break any vows I doubt she or her sisters are going to freak over it. If they do? Then you’ll handle it. As for the gang, only if her, her sisters or you tell em. Instead of worrying over waves of the horizon, deal with the one under your board.”

“Dude...” He looks at you like you just blew his world. “That’s a good line.”

Well, you’re glad he thinks so. “All that matters if you two want to spend more time together and if you do then you should.” Here comes the big question. “So...are you going to see her again?”

He leans in, glad you asked. “I want to, but I have no idea what she-” He pauses. You glance around and see her staring directly at him with glazed eyes. Polu blushes and smiles before he can contain it. “Yeah bro, I think I am.”

“If you’re done discussing your romantic conquests, get up.” Jane commands, sounding especially annoyed. Polu flinches at how loud she said it. “We’ve got training to do.”

“Training?” He asks, confused.

“No rival of mine is going to let some punk keep his bandanna. It makes me look bad. So until you get it back, I’m not giving you a moment of rest.” Jeez. You thought maybe she might approach this with a little more tact.

Polu doesn’t even look frustrated. In fact, his eyes water up just a little. “Really?”

“Really.” She looks and sounds sympathetic for half a second before following up. “Now I need to see why you’re so bad at battling now. Time to battle.”

He looks confused again. “Alright. But against who?”

She pauses to think, then turns to you. “Do you want the honors?”

That’s a good question. It’s been awhile since you and Polu had a battle. You have no idea what to expect. But...his confidence really does seem shot lately. You wonder if he’d want to battle you under those conditions.

“Sure!” You shoot up. “A friendly battle sounds great. To be honest, I could use some training as well.”

Jane smirks. You aren’t sure if you want to know what she’s thinking. She suddenly claps her hands. “Then up up up! Battle time! I'm judging.”

You and Polu scatter up. Your pokemon quickly gather up around you.

“What sort of battle do you want, bro?” He smiles despite dodging Jane’s arms as she waves the two of you off your behinds. “Single battle? Nice and simple?”

“Sounds good.” You reply. You glance around for areas to battle. The camp itself is in a pretty tiny clearing and there’s not much room to battle. The surrounding woods are fairly think with large, interspersed trees and bushes that could make for good cover and limit visibility.

“Awesome.” He grins, catching some hype. “How many pokemon? I’m good with one, or all four.”

“Let’s test all four of your pokemon!” You feel the infectious hype building.

“Oh ho. So you think you’ll push me to use all four of mine automatically, huh?”

“I didn’t mean it like that!” You quickly retract.

“You should.” Jane comments. “Don’t lose your competitive spirit just because you two are close friends. I wouldn’t want you going easy on me.”

Polu, and now the girls who have been gathering around to see the battle, all look at Jane. She just announced you were close friends.

“What are you looking at me for!” She demands. “You keep stalling, I’ll take you both on myself and humiliate you in front of them.” She gestures to the girls with her threat. “Stop thinking and battle!”

You and Polu quickly rush to a respectable distance.

“Wait!” Jane says before you can even think about who to use first. “Make a bet.”

“A bet?”

She nods back at Polu. It’s now that you notice her Hitmonlee is out, mimicking her folded arms. “It’s a sign of your confidence as a trainer going into this battle. I want to know your mindset.” She explains.

Polu looks to you and shrugs. He has no idea. He’s such an easy going guy that you know he’d be okay with almost anything.

“So, what are you betting?” Jane asks the both of you.

"Just a man's pride!" You announce with some forced confidence, trying to get yourself in the right mindset for your Pokemon.

The psychic girls all burst into an eerie, synchronized giggle. You look back and see Keira, Laki, and Abigail all holding one back to varying degrees of effort and success. “Stop!” Laki tries to reprimand the others through her own snorting laughter.

You look at your Pokemon, who have all gathered behind you to be ready to battle. You swear that if Mace had eyes, he’d be rolling them at the girls right now.

“Ready?” Jane holds up a hand. You can only see half of her thanks to the scattered large trees. The overhead canopy makes it a little colder and darker here too. Those factors will effect the battle for sure.

“Heck yeah!” You announce.

“Alright!” Polu says, eager to get on with the battle, before his voice turns a little wounded. “It’ll be nice to battle for the right reasons.”

Gardevoir swoons a little. You automatically look at the psychic girls and see one watching Polu keenly. You suppose she likes something about his current conflicted nature. Maybe there’s a bad-boy factor to it from her perspective. You have no idea.

Polu reaches for a Pokeball, and tosses it up into the air. You better move fast if you want to have your pokemon on the field at the same time.

“Go Sorbet!”

“Go Spiritomb!” Polu says at the same time. It’s pokeball opens just as Sorbet runs forward onto the battlefield.

“Smart tactical move.” Jane comments on Polu’s choice. “We all know Herb lacks the ability to deal with Ghosts and Dark types, and there are high odds he’d start with Gobble in many cases. It’s his safe bet.”

You feel a bit uncomfortable with Jane’s commentary. Is that true?

Ah. No time. Polu is leaping to the offensive! He didn’t even call out a move, but his Spiritomb is doing something faster than Sorbet is likely to be able to outspeed. What move is that? It’s all swirly and making you yawn.

Normally I'd rationalize this by saying the faster moving pokemon is more likely to mess up something important in confusion, but here, it's more likely that Spiritomb would accidentally phase into the ground slightly and disrupt it's own vision.

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.
Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics involve three rolls of 1d100, taking the best, and using the base accuracy and crit ranges of the the PTU system, roughly, but the 'turn order' will be more like the anime, where sometimes you can do a few moves in a row or be hit by a combo of moves yourself, all depending on circumstances. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves and also may leave you open to an interrupt, so beware of that timing. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first.

Pokemon and trainers are unique, and may have certain specializations, skills, or other things that the video-game mechanics might not allow. Some examples: That kung fu Bellsprout in the anime, that crystal Onix, or a Roggenrolla that can fly. Herb's perception skills, pokemon knowledge, context clues in general, and other things will hopefully come into play to avoid completely unfair, unforeseeable bullshit, but expect more bullshit from more advanced trainers.

Sorbet begins to teeter and yawn. She’s falling asleep! “Hurry! Safeguard!”

The adorable Ice type pokemon moves her arm with a lack of energy, and slumps forward, then back, then finally she settles onto all fours. She didn’t even get the move off. That was Hypnosis that Spiritomb just used! Already, Sorbet’s snowy, protective mist fades as she relaxes into her sleep.

“Good speed!” Polu compliments his Spiritomb. “That could have gone either way.”

Dang! This puts your team at a disadvantage right from the start. But that's alright. You just need to adapt, and fast. Then you're sure your pokemon will be able to show how great they are.

It’s a shame you’re battling under this forest canopy, because that bright sunlight would prevent Belladonna from getting any status conditions, too.

Maybe you could try to snap her out of it with the right words, but you’re not as close with her as some of the others, so that might not work. You also might get lucky and she could wake up any second.

You could take a moment to study your surroundings more and carefully watch your opponent while Sorbet recovers naturally. That could really pay off if you pick up something useful.

You’ve got to try to snap Sorbet out of it. While your bond isn’t as close as it is with Gobble, for example, you’ve still grown a lot closer to Sorbet from when you first met, and you’ve gotten to know each other decently well. She certainly trusts you a lot more these days.

“Alright, Spiritomb! Get that Nasty Plot up and we’ll be riding that wave to victory.”

Polu isn’t letting up. He’s commanding fast, but the slow Spiritomb is taking isn’t exactly fast. At least not compared to your pokemon.

“Sorbet!” You begin, hopefully loud enough that she can hear you. If this works, it will be an important bonding part of your relationship. How you try to inspire her will say a lot.

“Listen to me, Sorbet!” You shout loudly. “I know you’re tough. You’re strong! You wanted to battle when we first met to show me, and I saw it. You’re not the type to just let things happen. You fight with everything you’ve got. There’s no way other pokemon can expect you to just go to sleep quietly without a heck of a struggle!”

Sorbet stirs and pushes, but ultimately stays asleep.

Meanwhile. Spiritomb pumps itself up. You can see the energy gather around it as it performs a beautiful Nasty Plot. It’s almost hypnotic. The scary ghost pokemon even looks faster now, too.

Jane watches with that sharpedo-like gaze of hers, taking everything in. Laki is distracting loud and active in cheering for the match. The enthusiasm is genuine. Hana is more calm, watching with interest and a smile, but she isn’t jumping up and down like Laki.

Gobble doesn’t seem to blink.

“Good for now, Sorbet, but it’s Gobble’s turn!” Your voice carries well despite the heavy woods and cheers and other noises.

Gobble runs out onto the field with vigorous haste. He looks a little overprotective of Sorbet, despite how she’s never really shown much interest back. The Ghostly wind washes over him, completely to no effect. He still blinked when it came, though. It’s probably pretty hard not to.

“Ready to battle?”

He takes on a fighting stance, and the wind hits his Silk Scarf just right. His heroic outline impresses even Jane, by the look of it.

Spiritomb looks like it has a Ring Target on, meaning Gobble can hit it with a normal or fighting type move.

“Body Slam!” You command to Gobble. He runs straight towards Spiritomb without hesitating for even a fraction of a second. He’s eager to get up close.

“Hypnosis again!” Polu commands, posing without trying.

Gobble dashes forward. He sees the Hypnosis pattern and slows for a moment before overcoming it and pushing on. He throws his body at the Ghost pokemon. The flat Ghost is pressed between Gobble and the ground as your Munchlax bounces on, and then over it. Gobble lands in a roll that he quickly recovers from. Spiritbomb comes back up with less enthusiasm and grace, but doesn’t seem to be paralyzed.

“Great job, Gobble!” Laki shouts.

Spiritomb caresses it’s Ring Target, as if weighing an option.

“Your Spiritomb likes it’s space.” Jane’s fingers dance over her folded arms. “Herb is right to press you. The question is, how are you going to deal with that?”

“Ha!” He shouts defiantly. “Spiritomb and I have a secret weapon. Spiritomb! Stand your ground and hit him with your best Dark Pulse! Take the offensive just like we talked about!”

Spiritomb caresses the Ring Target once more, but decides against whatever it had in mind and braces to blow away Gobble.

“Gobble, Amnesia!” You command as quickly as you can.

Both pokemon work as fast as they can, but it’s Spiritomb whose move works first, thanks to it’s particularly well performed Nasty Plot that had a little extra spice behind it. Gobble is knocked back, but concentrates and finishes using Amnesia shortly after. He brushes himself off and stands tall, as if to taunt his opponent into trying that again now that he’s ready.

“You’re running out of tricks.” Jane tells Polu.

“Heh. Gobble’s always been a problem to face, but we have a perfect move for him, don’t we, Spiritomb?”

The vicious ghost pokemon grins. Gobble sweats a little, but doesn’t otherwise allow anything else to show.

“Curse.” Polu says. “Then we can just avoid him.”

“Gobble! Metronome!” You say to the cheers of Abbigail. She likes the chaos, you suppose. She gets Hana in on it. Hana doesn’t really take the battles as seriously, so she’s not too worried about how it ends up as long as everyone has fun. Laki though, sees it as a competition to bring out the best in people and pokemon. Fun, sure, but also something to take seriously and always try your best in.

Gobble finishes the little Metronome dance at about the same time he’s struck with a spectral nail that seems to hammer into him. He grunts, despite there being no immediate damage. The same thing happened to Spiritomb a second ago and it looks pretty damaged from it.

Strong, loud, beating hail shoots through the leafy overhead canopy, pelting both Pokemon. The rays of sunlight flash through for only a second with each tiny little bullet of ice. The whizzing sounds are very distracting, almost tempting you to duck your head even from your safety away from it. It must be very disorienting out on the field where Gobble and Spiritomb are.

"Hail!" Keira excitedly shouts! She does love her snow.

Spiritomb begins moving towards a big tree for cover. It’s Ring Target makes it possible to hit it with normal and fighting type attacks, but there’s something about the way it strokes it that makes you wonder what it could be planning.


>Focus Punch that tree to splinters!

“Trick!” Polu commands with a mischievous grin.

“Alright Gobble, good job. But come on back. Sorbet, you’re up!”

You swap pokemon quickly, replacing Gobble with a snoozing Sorbet. The whizzing Hail seems to be part of her element. Her fine, white coat shimmers and puffs, making her form difficult to see clearly. Even so, from what you can tell, it looks like she might stir awake soon.

At least, she looks disturbed when the scary looking Spiritomb rushes close to her to take her Nevermeltice and replace it with his Ring Target. Spiritomb quickly starts running away again.

Polu waves a finger at you. “Pretty clever, bro. I keep thinking I have you, and you keep wiggling out of my traps.”

“You can beat him!” The psychic girl yells out. She covers her mouth when she realizes how loud she was.

Sorbet blinks and mumbles. It seems like she’ll be ready to make a move, but it’s not a given. She might not be fully awake.

Spiritomb is hurrying away to cover. He'll be tricky to deal with if he can use his ghostly powers to fade through all the trees.

“Aurora Beam! Get it quick!”

“Get into cover and use Ominous Wind!” Polu commands. “They might have Hail, but we’ve got a dark and spooky woods. It’s your element as much as hers.”

As the Ghostly Pokemon tries to vanish through a tree, it’s struck in back. Spiritomb growls as it slips through the solid tree as if it were air. It wasn’t the best hit at all, but it was something.

“Good shot, Sorbet!”

Sorbet yawns and shakes off the sleep and some hail. That shaking just expands the icy cloud around it, creating a larger frosty area for a second. The cute little noise she makes draws a lot of reactions from the all girls watching.

“That’s frickin’ adorable!” Abigail comments very loudly. Her voice tends to pierce through most noise.

Sorbet is suddenly whipped back a bit as the the Ghostly wind strikes her, along with a series of cackles from the now-missing Spiritomb hides in the dark. There’s a brief crack in the laughter as a particularly hard bit of hail seems to pelt it, though. Sorbet shakes it off and looks around for it's attacker.

Spiritomb must be feeling weak by now. But it’s also hiding somewhere in the heavy woods, and exploiting it’s ability to slip through solid material. You and Sorbet can’t quite see where it is. Although you do have a general idea of it’s rough location.

“Sneak up and get it with Hypnosis again!"

“Sorbet! Attack with Blizzard!” You counter.

Sorbet looks left and right, trying to look out for her opponent.

“Just use it in that general direction” You instruct. “You have the power to take out that entire section. You don’t need to see him to hit him!”

She seems to decide that you’re right, and leaps into a readied stance. She builds up the power to use Blizzard quickly.

That’s when the Spiritomb rushes out in front of her with spiraling eyes. But rather than put her to sleep, that scares her into launch Blizzard right in his face!

The crackling sound of the ice hits you before your eyes make sense of what happened. She froze him so hard and so quickly in a sudden blast of icy fury that it seemed more like an explosion than a typical Blizzard.

Spiritomb’s spiraling, hypnotizing eyes are frozen along with the rest of it in a large, misshapen block. It's clearly out of the fight.

“You can’t just rely on using the same status move.” Jane chides as Polu retrieves his pokemon. “Especially against a trainer like Herb whose too inconsistent to guess his strategy.“

Polu poses triumphantly regardless, and points a finger-gun at her. “We’re just getting started, babe. All part of my style.”

Instead of losing it at being called ‘babe’, Jane rolls her eyes with only a moderately annoyed look. “Losing is an odd style. And if you call me that again we’ll need Ghost priestesses you locate you instead of psychics”

Polu grins playfully in response to her remark, and reaches for his next Pokeball. You caught just the quickest glance from him to the one girl he was with last night.

Sorbet yawns. You suppose Spiritomb still affected her a little. From the way she shakes her head, your best guess is that as long as she can keep at least half her focus on staying awake, she should be fine. But the harder the move, the more likely she is to have trouble until she has a few seconds to really recover.

“Let’s even up the score, Volcarona!”


[I’m afraid I’m still a bit sickly and falling off. But don’t worry, we’ll be picking up tomorrow!]

>>3118229
Also thanks for running Hobble. Stay Frosty.

>>3118229
>>3118232

Mace should probably be our 'mon of choice, yeah.
In addition to the type advantage, he also is likely better suited for taking on Pokemon able to fly than any other member of the party, except maybe Ghost Pepper.

Also, thanks for writing Gobs!

>>3118229
Thanks for running! Feel better soon!

I want to pin Volcarona too, but unlike Agron it probably has the right moves to hurt us anyways. I say gravity, then rock blast it down.

I also want to say I think “Pepper” rolls off the tongue way way better than “Ghost Pepper”.

>>3118296
That'll probably end up being their nickname, like how we call Belladonna, Bella.

>>3118296
Wait no, we should start with Sandstorm.

It’ll stop Mace from taking damage from hail, up his soecial defence, and activate his ability. It’ll also raise his echolocation if Daredevil taught me anything.

Plus I really want to see what happens if you combo sandstorm with Gravity.

I thought Polu released his Larvesta? I bet there’s a good story there.

Also, I really really want to train Mace to use that reverse-Gravity he used accidentally once. It will increase his areal mobility dramatically, and have a bunch of other uses too.

You also have to remember at the time jane, kiera and (still) val had had very little screentime, while hana had just had multiple threads dedicated to her leaving her with a very strong impression on everybody's mind, on top of her thirstiness giving the only "legit" lewbin during truth or dare

While I maintain hana shouldn't have won, im glad laki got involved atleast and the quest is still top tier

>>3118334
Overall I still think Laki is best girl. Jane had that sort of 'moment' that really did fit too.

Hana is a sweet girl but she was thirsty af and I think she's mid tier at best.

I would have loved a vicious weird Herb Laki Jane relationship. Like that'd've been one wild dysfunctional mess.

>>3118334
>>3118709
I disagree with your taste, anon. Hana is a great girl. Though if it was just one girl I'd have picked Laki, this is best timeline. Hana and Laki are best in life.

In case anyone didn't see on twitter. Gobble couldn't run since 4chan was down for maintenance. They said they could probably run Thursday or Friday.

>>3119226
Thanks!

>Miss a couple threads
>Come back to see Keira about to get conquered
As one of the couple of Keirafags we have, I'm really fucking excited for this.
I do like our girls, but I feel that both Jane and Keira would have been better options if we could only choose one. Jane still needs to find her own place in Loanah's society, and Keira is the girl that can teach us the most about culture, religion and aura stuff, which are pretty fucking relevant to us and thematic to the whole quest. Also really fucking cute and fun to be around, which I love.

>>3119270
Laki is pretty knowledgeable about the culture and religions of the islands as well. Also Keira has admitted that Herb is already better at aura stuff than her, but I'll admit she can help us explore auras because Keira has a unique outlook on aura stuff and she's really good at reading people.

if it came down to one girl I'd pick Hana every time, with Keira a close second. If i had my way it'd be Hana and Val, though, just for the dynamic.

I’ve been thinking about what we’ll say when we loop the group in.

If we just say that we’re helping a ghost stop another ghost and if we mention who the ghosts are one might lash out, and to just trust us, we should probably be able to avoid her wrath.

>>3119628
I'm incredibly glad you didn't get your way.

Laki is forever the best girl, especially since she started as herb's best friend

>>3120434
She didn't. She started as an asshole that almost broke Herb's last egg from his grandpa.

>>3120441
which we worked out in like the first 5 threads.

Please

>>3120820
Still what she started out as. I like that she ended up becoming our friend then lover but let's not act like it's all been sunshine and roses.

I'm fine with how it all turned out but I'm getting tired of people trying to add to the harem. We have enough problems with just two. You're waifus lost the vote.

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.
Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics involve three rolls of 1d100, taking the best, and using the base accuracy and crit ranges of the the PTU system, roughly, but the 'turn order' will be more like the anime, where sometimes you can do a few moves in a row or be hit by a combo of moves yourself, all depending on circumstances. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves and also may leave you open to an interrupt, so beware of that timing. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first.

Pokemon and trainers are unique, and may have certain specializations, skills, or other things that the video-game mechanics might not allow. Some examples: That kung fu Bellsprout in the anime, that crystal Onix, or a Roggenrolla that can fly. Herb's perception skills, pokemon knowledge, context clues in general, and other things will hopefully come into play to avoid completely unfair, unforeseeable bullshit, but expect more bullshit from more advanced trainers.

Call me out on a mistake and receive a suggestive picture, mostly likely a butt.

“Let’s even up the score, Volcarona!”

Volcarona casually floats left and right, warming up. As it does, you and almost everyone else notice Gardevoir wandering towards it, mesmerized.

“Shining like the sun.” She says in a trance. “

“Gardevoir.” Laki moves to intercept. “Come on, let them battle. Stay back.” But as Laki gets close, she’s stopped by a protective, psychic barrier. She thuds against it with some noise, but doesn’t seem hurt. Just surprised. Laki takes a few steps back to give her space while she considers what to do next, as well as if she wants to do something about the laughing Abigail.

Gardevoir is still off to the side of the battle space you and Polu are using.

You and Polu exchange a look, seeing what the other plans on doing. He’s weighing his options.

“Can we pause?” You gesture towards Gardevoir, still on the side of the battle area, but uncomfortably close and clearly not in her right mind.

Polu considers for a second. He looks to Jane, then to you, and the others, and puts his hand where his bandanna used to be. “Sorry bro. I can’t let Sorbet have the time to recover. I’ve learned my lesson about letting things grow out of my control before I take decisive action. Besides, we’re trainers. We can battle carefully even if surprises come up.” He looks up at his flaming pokemon. “Volcarona! Fire Spin!”

Crud! He’ll almost definitely be able to use that before Sorbet can act. Especially since she’s still waking up and a little slow. And her Icy Shield isn’t up yet!

Volcarona has the speed advantage on Sorbet and polu took the initiative, but you’re closer and using a pokeball you already have in your hand

“Sorbet, return! Go Mace!”

Mace launches himself onto the arena with gusto. He doesn’t have the room or momentum to avoid the Fire Spin thanks to it’s rotating nature, but it doesn’t really hurt him that much. He won’t be able to leave the battle any time soon.

The hail hits the spinning vortex of fire, producing a wide cloud of steam. Not enough to obscure your vision too much, but enough that it’s notable.

Gardevoir watches the spinning fire with fascination for a moment before her gaze goes back to Volcarona. She takes a single, slow step forward.

“Quick hands, bro!” Polu compliments. “But I’ve got a strategy for Mace all lined up. Volcarona, use Hurricane!”

He’s not going to sacrifice his advantage in initiative. It’s almost certain that move will fire before Mace’s. But Mace looks determined all the same. His type of determination is different from the others. Sorbet has a wildness to her that she reflects in her posture, Dice is either ready to play or rip someone apart for hurting his friends, Belladonna is ready to dominate. Mace's readiness is closest to Gobbles, if anything. But while Gobble usually looks ready to box and trust whatever plan you have, Mace looks more mature. More like he's seen it all before but knows from experience to take his role seriously anyway. Like a grizzled war vet in a movie.

Hopefully it'll make it harder for Volcarona to maneuver around. I wonder if this would disrupt the hurricane at all?

>>3125093
>>3125108
That makes sense to me. Mace has ground game too.

>>3125093
>Sandstorm, change the hail to sand to give Mace a weather advantage.

Cut off gardevoirs line of sight, boost special defense, and activate mace’s ability.

“Mace! Gravity!” You command as the Hurricane comes rushing forth. Mace gathers his focus to change the gravity high enough to bring down any flying pokemon, but he’s not as fast as that molten Bug pokemon. The Hurricane builds in size as it comes at him, somehow not being slowed by the woods. Mace is flung hard into a tree, making an imprint he seems stuck in. Then an empowered rope of flame from the Fire Spin getting fed all this wind follows into him. On top of that, the steam from the hail must be making the heat even worse for the poor Rock pokemon.

“Mace! You cry out, only catching small glimpses of him and losing track of Gardevoir completely.

The firestorm they’ve created is hot even from here. But the moisture from the steam keeps it from spreading over the woods, at least.

“I saw something like this watching videos on Hana’, uh, moms.” The pride in his voice can’t be masked, even if he isn’t sure what to call the relationship between Hana, Kat, and Robin.

His prideful smile drops as Volcarona does, too. Mace is still plenty conscious up in his indent in the tree, and pulled off Gravity after all! And hard, too! The flaming bug is surprised at being grounded and struggling to adjust.

You can’t see Mace directly, but you know where he is and you’re pretty sure he’ll be able to hear you even with the roaring, boiling inferno. His hearing is fantastic, after all.

At least, you really hope.

You ponder your options for a second. The trees, the flaming vortex, and the high winds will make ranged attacks pretty hard to pull off.

This way at point blank range we know it won't miss due to the field conditions.

“Alright Mace! Get in as close as you can and use Rock Blast!”

Well, if Mace can’t hear you, you can at least take solace in the fact that Polu definitely can’t.

Wait! He can hear you! A small, smoldering ball descents hard from the tree and works it’s way forward. A few seconds later, you see breaks in the flaming air around it as Mace fires a series of Rock Blasts at his opponent, further ahead.

A lot of dirt explodes all around it, causing it to try to fly away and fail. It seems like Volcarona is only grazed for the most part, though.

The bug pokemon retaliates with String Shot. Only a tiny strand at the end gets Dice, though. From the way it was aimed, you suspect that he was trying to do something with it, like keep Mace tethered to a spot or lead the fire to him. Instead, most of the String Shot ended up disconnected and being sucked into the vortex.

Mace is close to his opponent now. Not quite in melee range, but he’s on their side of the battle area and can close the gap at a reasonable speed.

You’ve completely lost track of Gardevoir, but you can see Abigail doing some strange big motions off to the side in the general direction that you last saw the Psychic pokemon. The best guess is that she’s interacting with her somehow.

The hail is dying down, which means the steam will let up soon and you’ll get a better view. As of right now, you can only make-out Mace every few seconds as the vortex and steam flicker or break.

No.
I deleted that.

Rocks fall was the name of the move we used on wailord when that nat 100 happened.
Aka rock version of Fly.

Pretty good, actually. I'll finally be working full time in January, and we all have next week off.

“Sandstorm!” You command, and Mace enacts. The Hail fades and the tornado of fire flickers out more and more and a strong whipping of sand picks both in its place and around the woods.

Ah, there’s Gardevoir. You can easily see her now because the sand breaks against the protective shielding she’s put up. She’s actually pretty close, having followed towards the fire tornado. But whatever spell was over her is mostly gone now. She allows Abigail and Laki to dash out and pull her back.

“Absorb!” You hear Polu command his Volcarona. It quickly pulls a green, glowing orb of energy from Mace. Despite the awkwardness of the move from the bug Pokemon that can’t balance under the weight of it’s own wings, it still looks decently effective. More than you’d expect for such a weak move in a Sandstorm, even if it’s a Grass type one. But Polu looks like he was expecting a lot more damage.

Mace looks tired. Not too badly hurt, but just worn out. And Polu seems to know why, judging by the look on his face.

Wait! The moisture from Hail! He steamed Mace! Mace got a full on sauna treatment!

Oh, that’s crafty! But with Sandstorm and Mace’s control over his energy, the upper hand should still be yours. It might not be a wise idea to push Mace on flying when Gravity wears off, though.

“Rock Blast! Finish it off!”

“Volcarona, return! Go, Aggron!” Polu acts quickly. “That’s another lesson I’m learning. Sometimes as much as you want to let your Pokemon show what they can do, you need to know their limits and weaknesses. Now Aggron! Let’s do this!”

The Rock Blasts bounce off the massive pokemon’s Steel armor. It hurt, but not nearly as much as your or Mace would like it to.

Mace looks up at the huge, fully evolved beast of a Pokemon. Or listens up at it, you suppose. It must be pretty intimidating to be so close.

The heavy gravity is wearing off.

We can't swap when he's facing a fully evolved pokemon without giving him a chance. This is where his agility comes into play.

“Mace! Mud Slap and get out of there! Evade!”

Mace throws up a thick layer of mud in Aggrons face and ducks away into the thick of the sandstorm. But Aggrons wide swipe with a Metal Claw manages to catch him, as well as turn a small branch he was near into splinters. Mace rolls out of control and onto the leafy forest floor before reversing the spin and righting himself. Aggron is already rushing forward looking to follow up with that attack.

You’re worried, one thing giving a small sense of hope is the way Aggron looks around and blinks. As Mace starts with more evasive movements again, you can tell Aggron is having a hard time following

“Finish it quick! Heavy Slam!”
