Pokemon Amethyst RPG (Update!!!)

Carrie freezes in place. Waiting. Okay not waiting but can't move because flinch.

Hobo scratches the creature by jumping up and clawing its face. ac: 15dmg: 39

[M0rtimer]

"Alright... Great job guys!" He says, giving Rocky some attention in special.

"Let's make sure that doesn't happen again and be a bit more careful next time..." Hugh says, running his hand over some of his more nasty bruises.

"...Callisto?"

She doesn't even need any instructions as she moves over, quickly capturing Hugh and Rocky in a healing blast- Before Hugh gets out a potion of his own, spraying away some of Callisto's nastier wounds... If quite ineffectively.

potion: 2d12+10=18

"...You're really not good at this, are you?"

"...You'll be fine, right?"

"I suppose so..."

"Anyways... We're not quite done searching yet. We're still hoping to find that interesting ghost pokemon as well..."

"Actually, maybe you've seen them before Rocky? Like, blue little golem dudes- About this big. Ever seen them before by chance?" Hugh says- While trying to look where best to search next...

Danica Trule

"...I Concede. Unless your Pokemon comes within Melee Range of Karis, she cannot Harm her and she will simply be knocked unconscious in 80 Seconds instead."

[staron13]

"Great work in there Brooke. Ok Lee your turn again." Sal says sending out the gloom once again. "Get him with another mega drain."

Lee doesn't waste a second rushing forward to suck the life from the drilbur, maybe going too far with his attack.

mega drain: 1D20 = [20] = 20
1D12+6+23 = [5]+6+23 = 34
Crit damage: 1D12+6 = [7]+6 = 13
= 47

[Dlover]

"Great, we can't work out what it's weak to, then. Going to take a gamble on water/ice, since it leaves in the ocean and had frost coming out of its mouth. Finn, Psybeam!" Ian moves around to Carrie, putting a hand on her shoulder to expend another heal;

Light Healing Power: 26
Psybeam: AC=4, Damage=51

Holy F-ing Sh- If that thing has less than three special evasion (doubtful), Finn is going to NUKE it over the coming turns. 116 damage from two attacks, before defences. That could be pretty severe. I kind of hope this thing is resistant to psychic, or we may well be blowing up a real rarity, something GenCo would pay riches for. Also, for the next few levels, Ian is going to be gaining ALL the healing features. He's officially cross-classing from a rather bad battlemage to a cleric of the holy Fuckyoshitup. Also realising he totally could have gone with Calming Vibe to make the thing be less angry. Maybe not attack us. Bit late for that now, since we're going to nuke it.

[Dusk9]

Ian and Carrie

As Carrie recovers from the pain of her bite, Ian gives her a quick healing boost to undo some of the damage. Finn tries firing off a Psybeam at the sea beast, but the attack simply deflects off its tough hide without doing anything. Hobo is more successful, scratching the creature for moderate damage with his claws - but then it wakes up, backs into the water, and angrily blasts Hobo with draconic rage from range, doing 40 damage to the sloth monkey!

Ian (12)
Carrie (12), 87/127Hp

Finn (16), Future Sight [1]
Hobo (14), 26/66Hp
Sea Serpent (10), Injured

Hugh

After giving Callisto some minor healing, and benefiting from her Heal Pulse, Hugh goes back to exploring the dunes. Rocky does seem to recognize the Golett when Hugh describes them, but has no idea which direction they might be hanging around. So they're forced to wander aimlessly for a bit, and hope they get lucky.

Unfortunately though, it seems Lady Luck isn't with him. Instead of the Golett, he ends up stumbling across some Phanphy and Sandshrew, foraging in a patch of craggy rocks surrounded by sand. He supposes that they must be looking for roots or something else to eat, though he's hardly an expert in this stuff.

Mace

Countering the hit, Henry slams a rock into the Dwebble, easily finishing it off. And, after a bit of consideration, Joe decides to switch the Carbiink back in.

You can save the crit for when it comes back into range, if you want. Or you could switch out, but then you'll lose the crit.

Danica

"...I Concede. Unless your Pokemon comes within Melee Range of Karis, she cannot Harm her and she will simply be knocked unconscious in 80 Seconds instead."
"Oh....you sure?"
"Yeah....sorry about that. I don't normally resort to such cheesy tactics, but....well, you're guys are really strong! I wouldn't have stood a chance in a straight fight."

Exp: 8710xp

The bet was for $500. It was a while since the fight started, so I figured you might want reminding.

And if you're curious, the last 'mon was a Baltoy. So you would've still suffered from the kiting problem, unfortunately. Bad luck - the 'mon randomiser wasn't kind

[Donnigan]

Danica Trule

"It is an Entirely Acceptable Tactic. I need to have Karis Taught a reliable Ranged Move and if I had Kept Oogie in reserve, I would have likely succeeded despite it. Thank you for the battle." Danica says as she give out the money and goes to get her Pokemon Healed.

► Show Spoiler

What are the Gym Levels again? That should totally be pinned somewhere in a first post...

[Arch Lich Burns]

Carrie throws the pokeball.

[SamWiser]

Sure, I'll keep the shadow ball.

[M0rtimer]

"...Let's try and ignore these guys, for now at least. We can ensue the normal plan if they get too frisky..." Hugh says, trying to sneak around- And while he manages to be relatively quiet, he drops his glasses and doesn't have time to clean them.

1d20=1, 1d20=14

[staron13]

Mulling over his choices that he has before him, "Lee, just wait for him to reappear then hit him with that mega drain."


Same roll please.

[Nioca]

"That's it, D'Lune, keep it up!"

And indeed she does, continuing to chew on the Anorith, although not quite hitting the same painful spots again.

--Bite (AC2): 13 to-hit, 49 damage physical dark

(Huh. I would've thought that hit would knock the Anorith down to Very Injured at least, considering Stealth Rock would've knocked 1/4th of its health off.)

Affirmation.

Mace will actually switch Shimmy in this time.

"Throw some Poison on it, Shim. Their defenses can't stop that!"

Poisonpowder on Carbink: 1D20 = [14] = 14

[Dlover]

Alright, Finn. Let's hit it hard this time. Go for a Swift. Even as he's talking, Ian fires off an Extrasensory at the beast.

Extrasensory: AC=7, Damage=52
Swift: Damage=36

[Arch Lich Burns]

Of course carrie waits until after ian attacks.

[Dusk9]

Ian and Carrie

Focusing his powers, Ian blasts the water monster with psychic energy, doing significant damage. To the point where the creature is barely able to stay upright in the rough waves, and looks ready to dive underwater and escape as soon as it can. Fortunately, before it gets a chance, Carrie overcomes the pain of her injury and tosses a ball through the stormy air......a ball which soon dings with the sound of a successful capture!

As Finn quickly grabs the ball with his telekinesis, before it can drop into the raging ocean, Carrie and Ian's dex's suddenly make a dinging sound of their own. It seems they've finally figured out what it is they were fighting, the information matching up with what Carrie sees on the Pokeball when it floats into her hand.

Carrie has caught a Lv22 Bashful Male Dragon/Ice Gyarados with Steadfast!

► Show Spoiler

1Hp. The thing had 1Hp left. That's how close you were to knocking it out.

And no, if it was on 2Hp instead, the capture roll wouldn't have been successful

Hugh

Opting to ignore the uninteresting ground types, Hugh decides to sneak around and leave them to their foraging. And while he is pretty good at the sneaking, it takes most of his concentration to do so. Which means he's caught completely by surprise when the group of herbivores suddenly start making a commotion and scatter, screeching loudly.

It takes him a couple of seconds to realise what the problem is - a swarm of Trapinch appear to have burst out of the sand and ambushed the other Pokemon. And they look hungry. One (the largest) has a Phanphy trapped in its jaws, while another two are fighting over a Sandshrew. The remaining four are chasing the scattering Phanphy and Sandshrew, and they appear to be gaining......

However, none of them have seen Hugh yet. And probably won't if he decides to just leave without getting involved....

Mace

Shimmy finds himself getting hit in the face by a rock as he comes out, losing 14hp in the process. The Carbink follows this up with a Rock Throw, but thankfully whiffs the attack. At which point Shimmy coats it in some poisonous powder.

Zyph

D'Lune keeps chomping down on the Anorith, doing significant damage and leaving it barely conscious. But then it finally gets in a hit of its own, slashing out with metallic claws and....completely missing.

Sam

The Cubone takes moderate damage from Nero's Shadow Ball, as he floats high above. But then Sally grins.

"Alright Charon, you know what to do - Break Through that pesky ghost!"

Pulling out its bone, the Cubone rears back, then tosses the club at Nero like a boomerang. With a sickening crack, it connects with Nero head on, then collides on the way back too, doing a total 68(63) damage! I.e. exactly enough to knock him out.....

Had he not just grown hands, that is.

Nero has evolved into a Haunter!

"Well....crap. Alright Charon, nice try. But there's nothing you can do now."

Recalling the Cubone, Sally replaces it with a Trapinch.

Drilbur (15), Badly Injured, Recalled
Gligar (15), KO
Nero (14), 8/69Hp
Alexander (12), 36/63Hp, Recalled

Sal

Surging up out of the ground, the mole slams into Lee, doing 54(43) damage with the attack. But then he starts sucking, draining it of practically everything it's got and recovering all the way back up to full! With a sigh, Sally contemplates the plant, then sends out a Baltoy, floating 5m up.

Gligar (15), KO
Drilbur (15), KO

"Great, now try for a Stun Spore next, Shim!"

Stun Spore on Carbink: 1D20 = [7] = 7

Key word being 'try'

[Nioca]

"One more D'Lune, finish it off!" Zyphirim calls. The Absol does not disappoint, jerking her head rapidly as she bites down even harder on the Anorith, shaking it like a ragdoll and causing massive and agonizing-looking cracks to form in the poor creature's shell.

"Now this is more like it." Zyphirim comments, having to physically try to conceal a smirk as D'Lune tears into her prey, single-handedly evening the scorecard back up.

This is a battle of getting steamrolled. And now it's the opponents turn.

[Donnigan]

Danica Will Now consider the Gym Levels and decide to try one more battle to get Experience before trying the Gym at the Regular Level. She will look for another fight for $500.

[SamWiser]

Sam almost laughs as the bone heads toward Nero, expecting it to pass right through him, but his look changes as the bone connects. He is about to recall Nero when he takes a second look, not seeing what he expected. Instead of a ghostly body slowly falling to the floor, Nero looks more angled, and is holding the offending bone in one hand, and rubbing his aching head with the other. With a snarl he throws the bone back at the Cubone who has to jump in the air to catch it.

Yeah! Woo Hoo! Lets try something you have never done before. Shadow Punch. You'll get your rest soon.

Nero's face spreads into a ghostly smile, which is the last thing showing as he slowly dissapears, appearing behind the Trapinch and using those brand new hands to strike the pokemon.

Power=40

[Dlover]

"Hah, that worked out pretty well... Good thing you caught that. If you hadn't, it could well have... Well, met the same fate as those frogs. Anyway, we did well there, but I'd say that's enough fishing. We don't want to drag up anything we can't handle and put the ship in danger. We owe the captain that," despite his words, Ian is still grinning exuberantly, "And you're not in the best condition, anyway. I can only heal your so much, you know, don't want to be worn out if something serious happens."

[Arch Lich Burns]

"alright....fine. I won't fish any more for now. Instead...." Carrie lets out the gyarados. "okay you are the coolest thing i have ever encountered. You deserve a decent name. Wyrm."

[Dlover]

► Show Spoiler

Um, how? Capturing it should have sent it to the PC system, shouldn't it? Even if we can choose which we keep, is choosing to keep a pokemon which is on 1hp over any others you have a good idea?
