Horanoven A.
booom
Mini-Session 14.5

Drufle (GM)
SpoooOOoooOOooky.

Horanoven A.
oh crap I forgot something
5 seconds

Moppy
still ain't playing. maybe it's my speed being screwy

Drufle (GM)
Oh wait, nevermind.
I'm playing it in the add window.

Moppy
' 3'

Drufle (GM)
Which I don't think actually broadcasts to the players.
Anyway!
Let's do us a gym battle.
Eventually.

Moppy
Okay!

Horanoven A.
back
hi
ready for action
god damn its hot outside

Drufle (GM)
Alright, let's skip the pretense and get straight to the action!
Dustin is up for more battling now.

Horanoven A.
no messing around
lets do this

Jack
gewd

Drufle (GM)
Who's coming out first?

Horanoven A.
"R-right...okay...Phosphera!"
woops
good start

Jack
"I'll lead in with Swinburne!"

Axel
"This will be...something alright"
tfw 2/3s of your team is weak to ground

Swinburne
ARF ARF ARF

Drufle (GM)
And out go the first two!

Phosphera lets out the tiniest of roars

Jack
"he's so excited, it's his first fight"

Drufle (GM)
I've got 6 speed, so I go first?

Phosphera wiggles her arms

Phosphera
yep, we're speed 5

Drufle (GM)
I think Will is the only one with 6 speed right now.

Phosphera
rolling 2d6( 1 + 6 ) = 7
oh?
also you should probably tiebreak your two, Drufe

Drufle (GM)
Jack, roll 2d6.
Oh, well alright.
rolling 2d6 ( 5 + 6 ) = 11
rolling 2d6 ( 1 + 3 ) = 4

Phosphera
they are tied, afterall

Jack
rolling 2d6( 2 + 5 ) = 7

Drufle (GM)
Baltoy is up first.

Phosphera
hell yeah he's first

Drufle (GM)
Whelp.
Try again you two.

Phosphera
of course
rolling 2d6 ( 3 + 6 ) = 9

Jack
rolling 2d6( 1 + 5 ) = 6

Phosphera
if I had a berry for every time that happened

Drufle (GM)
Baltoy!

Phosphera
I'd be eating lunch :D
hoping for the best
Drufle (GM):
Baltoy used Magnitude!
Target Phosphera
Roll 2 1 2 + 7
AC 16
Damage 2

Phosphera
its our first fight :D
hmmm

Drufle (GM)
Free experience!
That poor child.

Phosphera
good thing you can't ding until after the battle

Jack
tsk
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Earthquake!
Target Phosphera
Roll 6 4 5 + 7
AC 14
Damage 2

Phosphera
uhhh
that AC is not right
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Earthquake!
Target Swinburne
Roll 3 3 1 + 7
AC 14
Damage 2

Phosphera
that AC is very wrong

Drufle (GM)
Well, I rolled an 18.

Phosphera
well find

Drufle (GM)
So I imagine it hits regardless.
I miss Swinburne though!

Phosphera
its supposed to be 16

Drufle (GM)
Really?
Why?

Swinburne bounces above the shockwave!

Phosphera
I have 7 Def

Drufle (GM)
Earthquake is special though.

Phosphera
WHAT

Swinburne
WAHT

Phosphera
Who the fuck decided that?

Drufle (GM)
Isn't it?
Why on earth would Earthquake be a physical move?

Phosphera
bullshit
its physical
its always physical

Swinburne
it's physical I checked

Phosphera
I have the PDF, its physical

Swinburne
it's moving the earth!

Drufle (GM)
Well that's silly.

Swinburne
it's not an Energy thing

Drufle (GM)
I have 7 in both attacks so I still hit, but I'll remember that.

Swinburne
why would you ever think so?

Phosphera
you shake the earth by jumping around

Swinburne
this is srs I have to know
the seal demands answers

Drufle (GM)
Well I usually imagine physical attacks as being contact or projectiles.
Special is usually ranged or some sort of wide-spread effect.

Phosphera
but how do you forget EARTHQUAKE

Swinburne
define "ranged" from "projectiles"

Drufle (GM)
That's not the kind of thing I usually remember!

Phosphera
its -THE- ground attack

Swinburne
oh whatever we've learned a lesson
let's fight moar

Phosphera
right then
I think its my turn

Drufle (GM)
Yep!

Phosphera wobbles about

Phosphera
"Gra"
Phosphera used Dragon Tail!
Target Palpitoad
Roll 4 2 2 + 6
AC 15
Damage 3
damn

Drufle (GM)
Wow, quite close.

Phosphera spins in circles, missing her target

Drufle (GM)
Swinburne!

Swinburne
ok so

Phosphera

Baltoy hasn't evolved, probably has 3 HP

Jack
"Bite dat Baltoy!"

Phosphera
oh right, I forgot about ice fang
Jack:
Swinburne used Ice Fang!
Target Baltoy
Roll 6 5 2 + 6
AC 15
Damage 3

Phosphera
spheal is an icy little ball of joy

Drufle (GM)
Oh, I thought you were using actual Bite.

Jack

Drufle (GM)
Well snap!

Phosphera
nom nom nom

Jack
"nice going!"

Phosphera is jealous of the tiny balls biting prowess

Jack
AW SHIET

Phosphera
welp

Drufle (GM)
Here comes the big man!
Well, he isn't actually the big man.

Phosphera
he's the leader of the bunch

Drufle (GM)
He's just big-ish.

Phosphera
you know him well

Drufle (GM)
Palpitoad!

Phosphera
he's the first member of the Dustin Crew!

Jack
WIT
AIT

Phosphera
that actually fits

Jack
who is first
in the turn order

Phosphera
Baltoy was, I believe

Drufle (GM)
Palpitoad is, I forgot he actually has 9 speed.

Phosphera
oh

Drufle (GM)
So he's going to go before Camerupt.

Phosphera
derp

Jack
hmm
carry on
god why couldn't ice beam just be a Regular Move
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Rock Blast!
Target Swinburne
Roll 3 4 2 + 7

AC 15
Damage 2

Jack

Drufle (GM)
Wow, two misses?
Yikes.

Jack

(I still can't read this bloody macro)

Phosphera
the spheal is too cute to be hurt

Swinburne
stones bounce off Swinburne's blubbery body

Phosphera
(I tend to miss what the target is a lot)

Phosphera peaks from behind her hands

Swinburne
"Arf!" clapclapclap
Drufle (GM):
Camerupt used Flamethrower!
Target Swinburne
Roll 5 6 1 + 7
AC 14
Damage 3
FWOOSH

Swinburne
oh you just have it in for me

Phosphera
SPATK focus, ouch

Drufle (GM)
I need to remove the guys that have type advantage!

Swinburne
lluckily I prepared!
HP focus

Phosphera
OH SNAP SON

Drufle (GM)
Oh really now.
Fair enough.

Phosphera
now the tiny dragon fights

Jack
"you can take it, Swinny!"

Phosphera jumps up into the air
Phosphera:
Phosphera used Magnitude!
Target Camerupt
Roll 3 5 4 + 6
AC 15
Damage 4
hyes!

Drufle (GM)
rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2
Ah good, only 3 damage!

Phosphera crashes into the ground, sends shockwaves of earth into the Camerupt

Jack
oh!

Phosphera
Sold Rock is a bitch
is it on low?

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Phosphera
damn

Drufle (GM)
I mean it could be on either but I picked low.

Phosphera
I wouldn't of thought that
you SAY you picked low
you didn't actually declare it

Jack
what do you mean by "low"

Drufle (GM)
1-3.

Phosphera
1,2,3

Drufle (GM)
Swinburne!

Phosphera
but yeah, you have to declare that first
Drufe

Drufle (GM)
What, don't you trust me?

Phosphera
no

Drufle (GM)
Wow, ok.

Jack
this requires a longer explanation on how solid rock works

Phosphera
not when our victory is on the line

Jack
Hora that's not very nice of you

Drufle (GM)
There's a 50% chance of any SE move being NE instead.

Jack
Drufle is a good GM

Phosphera
I did a 4 damage attack, I'll take any chance I can get
I know hes a good GM, but I also want to win

Drufle (GM)
You have 12 Pokemon, I have 4.
Winning was never really an option for me anyway :P

Phosphera
you say that
but ground wrecks most of our mons
I've been haxed harder

Jack
Alright then

Phosphera
but fine, lets move on

Jack
Watter Goon

Phosphera
moar advantages for the advantage gods

Swinburne
is this +2?

Phosphera
uhh no

Drufle (GM)
No, +1.

Phosphera
I was being silly

Swinburne
ok

Phosphera
ADV doesn't stack

Drufle (GM)
You get +1 and an advantage from 4x.

Swinburne
oh right
so the same as 2x and STAB then

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Swinburne
darn!
Swinburne used Water Gun!
Target Camerupt
Roll 5 4 6 + 5

Drufle (GM)
And now, the big man himself!

Phosphera
now the big guy?
The leader of the bunch, we know him well?

Swinburne
we don't know him well!

Phosphera
Flygon :D

Drufle (GM)
WHO'S READY TO RUMBLE

Phosphera
I know Flygon
Flygons a cool dude

Jack
man Lilly's not gonna get in this fight at all is she

Drufle (GM)
I think Golurk actually has a design for this one, so I won't make one myself, but this is the Mega version that's still Ground/Dragon and not Ground/Bug.

Phosphera
how far down the chain is she?

Jack
he does
well
an old one
now has very sharp shovel arms
instead of wings

Phosphera
Guys guys....we've got two ground dragons on the field
what are the chances of that?

Drufle (GM)
By the way, Mega Flygon D has Tellurate, so have fun with that.

Jack
oh the ground-ate

Phosphera
that's the "normal into ground moves" right?

Jack
yah

Phosphera
do you -have- normal moves?

Drufle (GM)
I sure do!

Phosphera
welp
tank harder, me!

Drufle (GM)
Little Palpitoad is up first anyway.
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Swinburne
Roll 6 2 3 + 7
AC 14
Damage 3
Shoo!

Jack
NO HE ISN'T
aww

Phosphera
D:

Jack
too late
I wanted to ice beam

Drufle (GM)
Oh butts, priority!

Jack
these prio moves don't work in this system!

Phosphera
Just throw it out
Ice Beam go

Drufle (GM)
They would if we actually did things the way the game wants us to.

Jack
yeah...

Drufle (GM)
Which is we all secretly write down our moves ahead of time and then reveal them at once.

Jack
can't be done on here!

Phosphera
push Ancient Power further down the timeline

Jack
nah let this happen

Phosphera
D:

Jack
I want someone else to get in

Phosphera
but Spheal buddy

Jack
club the seal!

Drufle (GM)
Done!
Who's up next?

Phosphera is saddened by the loss of the tiny round pokemon

Jack
"I wish I could just say things faster! oh well..."
"go Lilly!"

Drufle (GM)
Uh.

Phosphera
What happened to her eyes?

Drufle (GM)
I hadn't even noticed you changed the pog!

Phosphera
and her color scheme

Jack
don't you remember? I headcanon'd her as a Blind Cave Skrelp!

Phosphera
what has she become???
oh, okay

Jack
she's like an olm now

Drufle (GM)
Yeah!
It was pretty cool.
Alright Flygon, go!

Phosphera

Phosphera

Phosphera goes flying away

Axel falls over as Phosphera slams into him

Axel
"Ooof!"

Lilly
"learn to dodge!"

Drufle (GM)
Lilly is very opinionated.

Jack

Drufle (GM)
Who's out next?

Jack
his voice got squeaky
choked a bit

Axel
"Right so...WOLFRAM"
"please please please please..."
my last line of defense

Lilly senses an even greater and more terrible presence before her

Wolfram
"SCRAAAAAAAWW"

Drufle (GM)

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead, I didn't target you first anyway.

Jack
ok I shall Ice beam
the palp

Wolfram
yeah no, you can't save me

Jack
does ice resist water?

Wolfram
Water Resists Ice

Drufle (GM)
Water resists ice, if that's what you mean.

Wolfram
not the other way around

Jack
that's it
darn

Wolfram
it'd be neutral

Drufle (GM)
Ice only resists ice.

Wolfram
go for Flygon

Jack
ok ice the bug monster

Wolfram
I'll be fine
Drufle hates me right now because I argued with him
save yourself

Drufle (GM)
:P

Brunt
Def focus
Gasp!

Wolfram
survivor

Drufle (GM)
That one hp left!

Wolfram
1 HP bros

Brunt somehow managed to avoid dying!

Wolfram
after this I want my +1 HP

Drufle (GM)
You lucky man.
Wolfram!

Jack
"oh Brunty..."

Drufle (GM)
I am loving the STAB on these super power moves.

Wolfram
huh, lower SPDEF, eh?

Brunt grimaces at "brunty", depsite the pain

Drufle (GM)
Remind me that I don't get a next turn, though.

Brunt
ok

Wolfram
yes, giga impact the bird next time

Drufle (GM)
For Flygon at least.

Brunt
what HP is the palp on?

Drufle (GM)
He hasn't been hit yet!

Brunt

Drufle (GM)
He only has the 4.
Being a single-evolved Pokemon.

Wolfram used Wing Attack!
Target Flygon
Roll 1 2 4 + 6

Drufle (GM)
A whiff!

Wolfram

Drufle (GM)
RNGesus is a fickle lord.

Wolfram
clearly

Drufle (GM)
Brunt!

Wolfram
don't worry about Palp

Jack
mega fly is dragon/ground still?

Drufle (GM)
Yep!

Jack
ok so

Drufle (GM)
Well, this one is.

Wolfram
Flygon is the only real threat here

Drufle (GM)
The other Mega Flygon is actually Ground/Bug.

Jack
5 hp?

Drufle (GM)
He has 7.

Jack
ok

Wolfram
no, probably -yeah

Drufle (GM)
Which is actually less than Diggersby, hilariously.

Wolfram
3rd stage, and mega

Drufle (GM)
Oh wait, does mega give +1 hp?

Wolfram
get free hits while you can

Drufle (GM)
I don't remember if we said that or not.

Wolfram
Mega is +1 hp

Jack
I think we did?

Drufle (GM)
Oh, then I have 8.

Jack
so 8 then

Wolfram
right
more ice moves

Jack
and I've been to the center beforehand. soo...
Brunt used Avalanche!
Target Flygon
Roll 6 1 3 + 5
AC 14
Damage 3

Drufle (GM)
A hit!
Oh dear.

Wolfram
merciless

Jack
and a freeze!

Wolfram
brutallity

Drufle (GM)
Well, he couldn't do anything next turn anyway.

Wolfram
"Chaaawhawhaw"

Jack
oh yeah
well whatever!

Drufle (GM)
:P

Wolfram
you don't get to check for unfreezing though

Drufle (GM)
Palpitoad!
Get rid of that horrible ice monster!

Wolfram
until he gets his actual turn

Jack
joke's on you, I have at least one more!
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Brunt
Roll 4 1 4 + 7
AC 14
Damage 3
FWAP

Jack
actually no I don't that's it

Wolfram
you really need more special Defense

Jack
is it a fwap?

Drufle (GM)
Oh! It isn't!

Jack
yeah!
no STAB!

Wolfram
welp

Drufle (GM)
Silly me, I don't have no advantages for that.

Jack
:P

Wolfram
we're good another round

Drufle (GM)
Nuts to me.
Wolfram!

Wolfram
right

Wolfram is getting pumped up

Wolfram
easy meat
Wolfram used Flash Cannon!
Target Flygon
Roll 3 3 1 + 6
AC 14
Damage 2
shit

Drufle (GM)
Oh, almost experience there.

Wolfram
even off of their weaker defense

Drufle (GM)
Brunt!

Wolfram
I can't hit anything

Jack
hmm!

Wolfram
you have 1 more PP right?
I think you do...
how many ultimate boons do you have?

Drufle (GM)
He has ultimate ice and rock, right?

Jack
yes

Wolfram
save the PP or freeze the Palp

Jack
but I can't do anything with it unless I send out Rpdan
or the palp

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, Amery takes 2 PP to mega evolve.

Wolfram
Rhodan would be pretty good

Jack
can the flygon still break free next turn?
or is this the turn

Drufle (GM)
He can, yeah.

Jack
ok then

Drufle (GM)
I'll roll for it after you go.

Wolfram
it can attempt it
actually
you roll after Flygon loses its turn
the book states after the mon fails to act

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, I already didn't go this turn.
We're already a full turn after he got frozen, remember?

Jack
he just didn't announce it

Wolfram
Giga stopped that
I think
I don't actually know how they interact

Drufle (GM)
They don't, really.

Wolfram
if recharge overlaps

Jack
GM's rules

Drufle (GM)
Giga Impact removes your ability to act on the next tur.
Which I couldn't have done anyway.

Jack
and I already inacted him so I expect a giga impact next go anyway

Drufle (GM)
Anyway, Brunt!

Jack
so for this turn, I spend a hyper potion to restore brunt to working order!

Drufle (GM)
Whack that Flygon! Or the Palpitoad.
Oh dear.
Actual item usage?????

Jack
yes!

Drufle (GM)
What nonsense is this.

Jack
they're accumulating

Wolfram
I'll use a potion too
I need Wolfram alive

Drufle (GM)
You already went this turn, you'll have to wait for next turn!
Although you can do that right now anyway.

Wolfram
this is the round

Drufle (GM)
Since it is the next turn now.

Wolfram
item is priority

Drufle (GM)
Right, escape on high.
rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5
Whee!

Jack
nooo

Wolfram
I can use an item now!
it has priority

Drufle (GM)
Yep.
Palpitoad!
He is very angry at all this "healing" nonsense.

Wolfram
earthquake it, buddy
shake the ground

Drufle (GM)
What? No, that'd be dumb.
I'd hit Flygon!

Wolfram
waaaait

Jack
he dont have levitate no more!

Drufle (GM)
Baltoy has Levitate.

Wolfram
you didn't do that the last time you used it

Drufle (GM)
Since I know you're going to say that.
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Wolfram
Roll 2 6 4 + 7
AC 14
Damage 2
ROCKS

Wolfram
Palp should've hit his buddy
hold on
rolling 2+6+7 2+6+7 = 15
fuck

Jack
what was _that_

Drufle (GM)
I actually remembered the not-STAB this time!
He was mathing to see if I actually hit him.

Jack
ok

Wolfram
I can't math with music on
same part of the brain

Drufle (GM)
Alright, I really just want to try this once.

Wolfram
more giga impact?
or hyper beam?
Drufle (GM):
Flygon used Fissure!
Target Brunt
Roll 2 5 6 + 7
AC 15
Damage 5
Yes!

Jack
im ded

Wolfram
fucking hell

Jack
dropped ina hole!

Drufle (GM)
Alright, that's the only Fissure I'm using this fight.

Wolfram
I really hate those moves

Brunt waves goodbye

Wolfram
so much
"Scraaaaaaaww..."

Wolfram watches Brunt fall

Drufle (GM)
Who's up next, Jack?

Jack
Rodan!

Drufle (GM)
They get a go this round anyway.
Oh no!

Wolfram
you brought this on yourself
RNGsus is against you now
you have broken the sacred law

Drufle (GM)
Not the angry dinobird!

Wolfram
"Ye shall not OHKO move people"
Wolfram read the bible, he knows

Drufle (GM)
Alright, you can mega as a free action so come at me!

Jack
now what

Wolfram
I think its my go
no wait, Item

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Wolfram
go Rodan

Drufle (GM)
Rodan has a go!

Jack
"FIRE RODAN, GO"

Rodan
SKREEEEEEEEE

Drufle (GM)
Fire?

Rodan
just a silly thing

Wolfram
whaaaaat?

Rodan
pay it no mind

Drufle (GM)
I hope you don't mean actual Fire moves.
Ok good.

Rodan
nah
just good old rockasaurus

Drufle (GM)
Ground resists Rock as well, just in case you forgot.

Rodan
mhm

Drufle (GM)
Wow, has nobody gone after Palpitoad yet?
I know he isn't that scary but look at him!

Wolfram
I've not hit ANYthing

Drufle (GM)
What a goofball.

Wolfram
we'd be done with this if I actually landed an attack

Rodan
I'm hoping to save him for lilly to hit later

Drufle (GM)
Does Lilly evolve after this?

Jack
I'll check

Wolfram
I believe she does

Drufle (GM)
I was wondering why you sent her out.

Wolfram
why else was she thrown into battle

Drufle (GM)
Nah, it's level 6.
Not quite!

Wolfram
darn

Jack
I just wanted her to see a battle ; 3;

Drufle (GM)
:P

Jack
but she's bliiiiind

Drufle (GM)
Have at me!

Wolfram
right, mega Rodan

Jack
no icon for 2day?

Wolfram
murder shit for us

Drufle (GM)
Oh nuts, I should've given you a thing for that.

Wolfram
D:

Drufle (GM)
Quick! To Bulbapedia!

Wolfram
AWAAAAAY

Drufle (GM)
Attack me in the meantime.

Jack
ok

Wolfram flies Drufle over to Bulbapedia

Wolfram
"SCRAAAAWWW!!!"

Jack
well with Tough Claws on, I got Attack Focus
sooooooooooo

Wolfram
yeup
Jack:
Rodan used Avalanche!
Target Flygon
Roll 2 6 1 + 5
AC 14
Damage 3

Wolfram
a murderous rampage seems like the most logical option
rolling 2+6+5 2+6+5 = 13
ech

Jack
aww

Wolfram
that would've been 4 damage for ATK focus
or touch claws in this case
tough

Jack
no it wouldn't surely
it would not

Wolfram
supereffective

Jack
because avalanche is special!

Wolfram
+ ATK focus
oh
wut
WHAT
what the actual...this game

Jack
big girl...

Wolfram
I swear
right, that round is over
I HEAL MOAR

Drufle (GM)
It's a creepy lookin' pog there.
Alright!

Wolfram devours another Potion

Drufle (GM)
I think Palpitoad still outspeeds Rodan?
I have 9, you have 8 right?

Jack
yes

Drufle (GM)
Right then.

Wolfram
now Rodan goes before Flygon
use a physical ice more, you must know one
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Mega Rodan
Roll 6 4 1 + 7
AC 14
Damage 3

Jack
I do and I shall

Drufle (GM)
ROCKS

Wolfram
oh god

Jack
rocks...

Wolfram
don't worry, he lived

Jack
yeah
1 helf

Drufle (GM)
5 hp!
4?

Jack
5?

Drufle (GM)
Oh, whoops.
I am a silly.

Jack
:P

Wolfram
you haven't given us more HP!!
we're still here with piddly base HP

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, I know.
Mega Rodan!

Wolfram
fit only for basic mons
we are superior!
Bird Bros Represent
Jack:
Mega Rodan used Magnitude!
Target Flygon
Roll 3 4 6 + 6
AC 15
Damage 3
that's better

Wolfram
eat da flygon

Drufle (GM)
A miss!

Jack
....

Wolfram
not Stab

Drufle (GM)
Closer and closer each day.
Alright, enough of this silly healing stuff.

Wolfram
why you no ice attack though?
Drufle (GM):
Flygon used Thunder Fang!
Target Wolfram
Roll 2 3 1 + 7
AC 16
Damage 3

Wolfram
I have plenty of potions, buddy

Jack
Rodan doesn't have any physical ice moves!

Drufle (GM)
Experience!
I am just loading up on the experience today for Dustin.

Wolfram
also lol what are you doing aiming at my DEF

Jack
I just realised

Wolfram
you know how silly my def is
well, alright

Jack
despite avalanche being available to attack focus mons

Wolfram
just pound on the flygon then

Jack
the google sheet sez it's special...

Wolfram
that has to be a mistake
Avalanche is physical in the games
it couldn't be available to ATK focus mons if is wasn't physical
that wouldn't make sense

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, I gotta agree with that.
It oughta be physical if you need ATK to get it.

Jack
special in the book, too

Wolfram
the book is wrong

Drufle (GM)
How weird...

Wolfram
overrule it!

Jack
no playtesting, no plans, no backup

Wolfram
otherwise Ultimate Ice has NO physical moves
which doesn't make sense
it has to be physical

Jack
tbh I have prolly been rolling it phys in past fights
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Mega Rodan
Roll 3 2 1 + 7
AC 14
Damage 3

Jack
just from assuming

Drufle (GM)
Aw, no rocks.

Wolfram
git those rocks out of here

Drufle (GM)
Mega Rodan!

Wolfram
Keep doing it that way, Jack

Jack
so GM are we treating avalanche as phys
your call

Drufle (GM)
Mhm.

Jack
ok!

Wolfram
Murder the Flygon

Drufle (GM)
Fine by me, my DEF is higher anyway!
Jack:
Mega Rodan used Avalanche!
Target Flygon
Roll 1 1 3 + 6
AC 15
Damage 4

Wolfram
oh dear

Jack
more exp?

Drufle (GM)
Experience!

Wolfram
well, we're closer to leveling, if nothing else

Drufle (GM)
Man, I'm almost tempted to give you 2 for those snake eyes.

Wolfram
I'd be okay with that

Jack
2 would be nice...

Drufle (GM)
Yeah sure, go ahead.

Wolfram
you guys need to catch up to Axel anyways

Jack
thankooo

Wolfram
he's been running away with all the EXP

Jack
I'm on 6 now

Wolfram
:D

Drufle (GM)
Hm.
Oh right, can't do that.

Wolfram
did you want to Giga Impact me?

Drufle (GM)
I was going to use a Hyper Beam on you.
But oh wait, it's ground type now.

Wolfram
go ahead, make my day

Jack
yeah

Drufle (GM)
That would've been a bad idea.
Flygon used Ancientpower!
Target Wolfram
Roll 5 1 5 + 7
AC 14
Damage 2

Jack
Dustin would know better

Drufle (GM)
Oh, so close.

Wolfram
I refuse to go down!

Drufle (GM)
And back to the top.

Wolfram
I healed last turn

Drufle (GM)
Oh right, you didn't heal this turn!

Wolfram
yep

Drufle (GM)
You actually get to go now!
Well go on, take a swing.
Wolfram:
Wolfram used Steel Wing!
Target Flygon
Roll 2 4 5 + 6
AC 15
Damage 3
YES
FINALLY

Drufle (GM)
A hit!

Mega Rodan
smack!
oh doesn't ground resist steel?

Wolfram cleaves into the Flygon's legs with a well placed razor wing

Drufle (GM)
Nope.

Jack
cool

Wolfram
"SCREEEAAAAWW!!"
Steel isn't resisted by much, oddly

Drufle (GM)
Steel, Fire, Water, and Electric.
Are the only things that resist Steel.

Wolfram
Fire and Water, to my knowledge
and Electric

Drufle (GM)
Man, I am so tempted to Hyper Potion right now.
I won't though, for convenience's sake.

Wolfram
I can assure you I have many more potions than you do, Drufle
you won't win the Potion War

Jack
thank you Druf

Wolfram
lets not turn this into a stall match
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Mega Rodan
Roll 6 5 3 + 7
AC 14
Damage 3
ROCKS

Jack
nuts

Wolfram
as tanky as we already are

Jack
the toad did it

Wolfram
D:

Drufle (GM)
The toad still hasn't been hit!

Wolfram
how much HP does Flygon have left

Drufle (GM)
The poor guy, feeling all left out.
Uh, 2.

Wolfram
I c

Drufle (GM)
Jack?
Who's up next?

Jack
is it the start of the turn yet

Wolfram
we've reached the "oh shit" threashold

Jack
or do I get to go anyway
what's the deal here

Drufle (GM)
Uh, I just went.

Axel
"This does not look good..."

Drufle (GM)
Unless your next Pokemon has Speed, Mega Flygon will go next.

Jack
"it's a bit of a pinch, yeah"
alright
oh yeah it was the toad

Drufle (GM)
The toad is doing a lot of damage!
He's very good with that Ancientpower of his.

Wolfram
Flygon has Giga Impact though

Drufle (GM)
I would be using my giant pile of Ground moves but you guys keep sending out Flying types!

Wolfram
and we suck at Special Defense

Jack
"oh whatever, go Bluejohn"

Wolfram
this is his moment to shine
do it buddy
make us proud

Drufle (GM)
Mega Flygon!

Nickel makes a worried noise

Drufle (GM)
Hm.
I'm not actually sure what I want to do here.
Sandstorm would be totally useless.

Wolfram
Giga Impact Wolfram

Drufle (GM)
No!

Jack
do whatever blue got nothin

Drufle (GM)
You're immune to that, why would I do that?

Wolfram
because itd be funny

Jack
he's hoping to catch you out
Drufle (GM):
Flygon used Thunder Fang!
Target Wolfram
Roll 3 5 4 + 7
AC 16
Damage 3
Oh, just one off!
So very close.

Wolfram
rolling 3+5+73+5+7 = 15
yep, so close

Drufle (GM)
Wolfram!

Wolfram
good thing I have SUCH HIGH DEFENSE

Jack
you can't bite with such a tiny mouth!

Drufle (GM)
All of my Fire/Electric moves are physical!
Wolfram:
Wolfram used Flash Cannon!
Target Flygon
Roll 6 2 6 + 6
AC 14
Damage 2
BOOM

Drufle (GM)
I don't have much of a choice WOW

Wolfram flies up into the lights and fires off a beam of light

Jack
"oh that's it!"

Drufle (GM)
Man, way to ignore Palpitoad, guys.

Wolfram
Where is your Arceus now?

Jack
"finally a good hit!"

Drufle (GM)
He had poison touch and everything!

Wolfram
I'm not touching that
ew

Jack
eheheh

Drufle (GM)
Bluejohn!
Yeah, whoever faints Palpitoad gets poisoned.
Which doesn't matter much if he's the last one left!

Wolfram
I'm immune to poison though
I
woops

Drufle (GM)
Yeah I know, I was hoping Jack would take him out.

Wolfram
I don't think he can do that much damage
in one go

Jack
not with mono rock

Wolfram
Palp is...Water Ground right?

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.
Jack:
Bluejohn used Stone Edge!
Target Palpitoad
Roll 4 1 5 + 6
AC 15
Damage 3

Wolfram
he must be, he wouldn't be here otherwise

Drufle (GM)
Resists the hell out of Rock.

Wolfram

Drufle (GM)
A hit!

Jack
can you please not have palp attack at all

Wolfram

Jack
WHAT

Wolfram

Drufle (GM)
Oh.
Well a miss then.

Wolfram
oh...
:(

Jack
so yeah don't have palp attack

Drufle (GM)
Why?

Wolfram
aim for me

Drufle (GM)
Oh, right.

Wolfram
he wants Bluejohn to evolve

Jack
I HAVE to get bluejohn to hit something one of these days! :P

Drufle (GM)
KILL THE BIRD

Jack
no
just
learn to aim

Wolfram
you can TRY
"CAWHAHAH!!"

Wolfram challanges the tiny toad thing
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Wolfram
Roll 6 5 1 + 7
AC 14
Damage 2
ROCKS

Wolfram tumbles a bit through the rocks

Wolfram
"CAW!"

Drufle (GM)
Palpitoad is the best at rocks.
Wolfram!
Someone finally hit the froggy please.

Wolfram
I know what stat I'm raising next
the "everyone is good at both attacking stats" is really annoying

Drufle (GM)
Well you have the same thing!
You have 6 in both attacks!

Wolfram
I know
because I HAVE to
because "everyone is also good at both defensive stats"
there is no specialization

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, true.
You're up, anyway.

Wolfram
I'm also running electric and steel mons
a special and physical set
who's turn was it I forgoet?
oh mine

Drufle (GM)
Yours!

Target Palpitoad
Roll 1 5 1 + 6

Drufle (GM)
Not quite, no.

Wolfram tackles the tubby toad, but simply bounces off, covered in slime

Wolfram
"Scraw!?"

Drufle (GM)
He's so sticky!
Hey Bluejohn, get 'im!

Wolfram
more Stones?

Jack

Wolfram
Roll them bones

Jack:
Bluejohn used Rollout!
Target Palpitoad
Roll 5 5 1 + 6
AC 15
Damage 1

Wolfram
roll all the things
there's a hit
oh wait...
Ground resists rock

Drufle (GM)
Mhm.

Wolfram
Rollout starts at 1 damage
so that does nothing

Drufle (GM)
So you hit, but no damage.

Wolfram
it'll do something next round

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.
Palpitoad!
Palpitoad used Ancientpower!
Target Wolfram
Roll 5 3 1 + 7
AC 14
Damage 2
THE ROCKS NEVER END

Wolfram
hey now, I was distracted
but okay, he's been in long enough

Drufle (GM)
Success!

Jack
fossils of ancient frogs overwhelm Wolfram

Drufle (GM)
MORE FROGS

Wolfram
too many frogs

Drufle (GM)
Alright, uh, who's up next?

Wolfram
let me pick a dude

Drufle (GM)
Your turn is up now, whoever it is.

Wolfram
uhhh
I am limited to electric and steel moves
neither are good ideas
which leaves my best option as CHROM!!
Gotta...go...FAST

Drufle (GM)
... alright, fair enough.

Chrom
On my mark!

Drufle (GM)
Your turn!

Chrom
right
I cannot attack with STAB for reasons

Drufle (GM)
Shocking!
Oh wow, pun.
I'm sorry about that.

Chrom
Mopp would be proud

Jack
you are learning

Drufle (GM)
I'm a bad man.
Go, Chrom!
Chrom:
Chrom used Double Slap!
Target Palpitoad
Roll 6 5 3 + 6

Chrom

Drufle (GM)
Did anyone else just see that?

Chrom
slap
I c

Drufle (GM)
You just rolled the same thing twice.

Jack
I witnessed

Chrom rushes up and slaps the Palpitoad silly

Jack
Chrom slaps with the same paw

Chrom
-Can't keep up?-

Jack

Drufle (GM)

Chrom
A miss

Jack
wah

Drufle (GM)
Just barely, yeah.

Chrom
I mean, i'd only do 1 damage
it'd

Drufle (GM)
Not that it matters, you don't have to hit with Rollout to up the damage.

Jack
HUHWHAHAHAAH
I just
keep rollin?

Chrom
Ground. Resist. Rock

Drufle (GM)
Which is some kinda special idiocy in this game.

Chrom
also yeah, keep on rolling

Jack
....

Chrom
this game...
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Earthquake!
Target Bluejohn
Roll 1 5 5 + 7

Drufle (GM)
You and your silly def focuses.

Chrom
I think that missed

Drufle (GM)
It did, yes.
By 2.

Chrom bounces over the shockwaves

Drufle (GM)
What a spectacularly underwhelming quake.
Chrom!

Chrom
-You're too slow!-
Chrom used Double Slap!
Target Palpitoad
Roll 3 6 3 + 6
AC 15
Damage 1
Chrom used Double Slap!
Target Palpitoad
Roll 5 2 1 + 6
AC 15
Damage 1

Drufle (GM)
Also, I figured I might as well use Earthquake.
A hit and a miss!

Jack
ONE MORE

Chrom continues to slap the poor toad

Jack
see Druf this is why we left him!
we have nothing

Chrom
if you have a multihit move, now is the time to use them

Jack
it takes so long to beat that everything else would have destroyed us!

Chrom
not rock blast though
don't use that

Jack
I KEEP ROLLING

Chrom
ROLLING ON
AUTOJOHNS, ROLL OUT

Jack
~~Lonely Rolling Star~~

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, fair enough.
I didn't think he would be so tough!
If only we had Grass types...

Jack
if I'd taken Forest training

Chrom
poor poor Rhodes

Jack
and brough Ordovici

Drufle (GM)
Oh wait, you actually have a Grass type.
I forgot!

Jack
we wouldn't have this problem!

Chrom
yeah, just...no moves

Drufle (GM)
Do it Bluejohn!
I would recommend Ancientpower, personally.
Does he have that?

Jack
yes

Chrom
hold it, which stat is higher?

Drufle (GM)
My SPD is lower than my DEF.

Chrom
Jack, is your SPATK higher?

Jack
no its 5
atk is 6

Drufle (GM)
Oh, well then nevermind then.

Chrom
yeah, it'd be the same regardless
keep rolling

Drufle (GM)
Go with either!

Jack

Chrom

Bluejohn rolls into the fucking wall

Drufle (GM)
The perfection of that anticlimax, that was amazing.

Chrom

Drufle (GM)
Alright, c'mere you dog!

Chrom
I am NOT a dog!
I am an adorable fox-thing
Drufle (GM):

Drufle (GM)

Chrom

Chrom tumbles on by, missing the palpitoad

Drufle (GM)
Jack, have you gotten like 3 failure exp this battle?

Chrom
-Woops!-
"Mrreeow!"

Jack
yeah im on 7 now

Drufle (GM)
Wow.
You realize that means you level after this, right?

Jack walks to the hole in the wall bluejohn made

Jack
yep

Chrom
is he coming back?

Jack
in a way, I am grateful for this blind little rock

Chrom
they're great, arn't they?

Drufle (GM)
Dustin is very confused by the happenings.

Jack grabs bluejohn

Jack
"guess I gotta do this the hard way..."

Chrom is watching, upside down

Jack
is it my turn

Chrom
"Mow Mow Mow! Mow Mow Mow!"

Drufle (GM)
Yeah!

Jack

Drufle (GM)
You can do it little guy!
We believe in you!

Target Palpitoad
Roll 5 1 1 + 6
AC 15
Damage 4
gutter ball...

Drufle (GM)
Wow, that is just not going to happen, is it.
A whole 3 off still.

Chrom
we'll keep trying
we have a chance

Jack
hows that for xp

Chrom
that's all the matters

Jack
more?

Drufle (GM)
Palpitoad watches the Roggenrola fly by him.
Nope.

Jack
ok

Drufle (GM)
Only if your roll is 4 or lower.

Chrom
"Mrrrrow..."

Drufle (GM)
6 is a bit too high.

Jack
"I guess I'm not very accurate either..."
Drufle (GM):
Palpitoad used Mud Slap!
Target Chrom
Roll 5 1 4 + 7
AC 14
Damage 3
SHOO

Chrom
nope

Jack
did no-one catch Bowlout

Drufle (GM)
I saw that, yeah.

Chrom tumbles away, mud all over his face

Jack

Chrom
"Yip!"

Drufle (GM)
Go Chrom!
Chrom:

A hit!

Chrom

Jack
ohh yes

Chrom

Jack

Chrom leaps to his feet and charge the poor toad

Drufle (GM)
That's it!
It's finally over!

Jack
oh?

Chrom
"Mrrrrrrup!" -Critical Hit!!-

Drufle (GM)
And now Chrom is poisoned.

Jack

Drufle (GM)
He only had 1 hp left, guys.

Jack
ohh
ok

Chrom
I can't die to poison

Jack
thought he still had two

Chrom
sorry

Drufle (GM)
Nope!

Dustin sighs.

Dustin
"Well that was... an unconventional battle."

Chrom is bouncing around the room

Dustin
"Regardless, you have succeeded, so here you go."

Axel
"Sorry we...didn't bring anything better for the job"

Jack
"I'm real sorry about your wall, Mr. Dustin"

Axel
"That could've gone quicker"

Dustin walks over to the two and hands them each a Ravine Badge.

Jack
"I just don't know what to do about my Roggenrolla!"

Axel
can I try to make a thing to repair the wall?

Jack
"I think something is wrong with him"

Dustin
"Oh don't worry about the wall, I'll get that.

Axel
I want the EXP
for wall repair

Dustin sends out a Rhyperior and motions to the wall.

Axel
or the tool for it, rather
oh
he's got a thing
"Woah..."

Jack
rhyperior says no

Axel
I will not argue with the Rhyperior

Dustin
"And here is your cash reward. 10k pokeyen, as promised."

Dustin hands Jack a small bag.

Jack
"thank you sir!"

Axel
is it 10k each?
or is it split?

Drufle (GM)
Just the 10.

Jack
ok so 5k each

Drufle (GM)
You guys fought together, so I think it's fair that you only get the one cash reward.

Jack
righto

Axel
hang on let me find my wallet

Jack
and 3 xp?

Drufle (GM)
Rhyperior waves at the nearby mounds of earth and they fly into the wall, sealing it and covering over.
Yep! 3 exp to both of you.

Jack
time to ding

Drufle (GM)
So that's what, level 5?

Jack
from failure
again...
actually no now I'm 6!

Drufle (GM)
Oh geez.

Axel
3 XP for the battle, right?

Drufle (GM)
You know, Bluejohn can evolve now.
Yep! 3.

Axel
holy shit he is a higher level than I though

Jack
I think swinburne can too

Axel
We can TRADE EVO NOW
well not now now

Drufle (GM)
Hey, wait.
Shouldn't you have an Avalugg then?

Axel
but in 3 days

Drufle (GM)
Brunt evolves at level 5!

Jack
yeah

Axel
:D

Drufle (GM)
How did you get all the way to level 6 without him?
Did you just never use Brunt?

Jack
yes

Drufle (GM)
Well then.
Lemme go find that picture.

Jack
also I know I said about
no honor in defeat
that was more for

Drufle (GM)
Oh right.

Jack
no wait
that was more for "dying without doing anyting"

Axel
Brunt did a thing
OH YEAH

Drufle (GM)
One Bolder and one Avalugg, coming up.

Jack
whereas everyone who fought here acutally did things

Axel
Phosphers also evolves
Phosphera

Drufle (GM)
Oh geez, really?

Jack
and one Sealion

Axel
yes

Drufle (GM)
Alright, a Gabite and a Sealeo as wel.

Axel
she evolves at 4
evo party

Jack
yey
suddenly, loads of mons start glowing like a thousand suns!

Axel
"Welp...I can't see"
"Tell me when I can open my eyes"

Drufle (GM)
Uhhhh.

Lilly
the light even reaches through Lilly's reduced vision
oh am I being too

Drufle (GM)
You'll have to give me a bit, Bulbapedia seems to be having some connection issues.

Lilly
presumptuous
oh right

Axel
oh dear
right, okay
Jack, pick a boon
become STRONKER

Lilly
sorry I just assume when I "narrate" I'm doing a bad thing

Drufle (GM)
So Boldore, Avalugg, Gabite, Sealeo?

Lilly
yes

Axel
I want to trade evo the boldores so badly
but that has to wait

Lilly
I still didn't kill anything this battle did I?
it was all Axel

Axel
wut?
did you see how many misses I had?

Lilly
oh wait I got the camerupt
that's fine

Drufle (GM)
You sure did.

Axel
Yeah, have Lilly evolve too

Lilly
and the baltoy

Axel
she evolves at 6 too

Drufle (GM)
Lilly evolves at 6, unfortunately.

Axel
Jack IS 6

Lilly
sorry I'm just in her character

Drufle (GM)
You have to complete a battle at level 6, remember?

Jack
that's the bunny

Drufle (GM)
So you don't get to evolve until the battle afterwards.

Axel
wut
we have not been doing it like that

Jack
don't rules-lawyer for me, Hora

Drufle (GM)
Yeah we have! Or at least I've been attempting to do so.
If we haven't it's been because I forgot what level people evolve at.

Axel
I didn't know
I am sorry

Jack
thank you

Axel
so far most of my evos have been when I dinged
I guess I never said
that I wasn't that level before hand

Jack
water under the bridge

Drufle (GM)
Geez, Jack gets three evos in one.

Axel
its a good day
who do I have that still needs to evolve?
I think only half my team isn't fully evolved
current team
If I pulled Mabel out I could evolve her

Jack
still didn't evolve Moraine!
she's gonna have a complex

Axel
she is unhappy with you, that's for sure
forever a geodude

Jack
I'll swap her out and cool off at the farm
back in three days

Axel
the music stopped
did you find them, Druf?

Jack
THE GM'S DEAD

Axel
I'll take that as a yes
D:

Jack
the day the music died
AUGH

Axel
I like how the Evo music is a mareep

Drufle (GM)
Tada!

Axel
that's big

Jack
EEEEEE

Axel
hi big boy

Jack
"EEEEEEE"

Drufle (GM)
Look at how happy the Sealeo is!

Axel
that is the happiest seel
seal?

Swinburne evolved after his first fight! he was so successful!

Drufle (GM)
Sealeo has Thick Fat, which is... not that great for him, honestly.

Axel
I see a Gabite AND a Gible

Jack hugs Swinburne, hugs Bluejohn, and tries to hug Brunt but he's far too cold now

Drufle (GM)
I don't know what you're talking about!

Phosphera
"Roar!"

Drufle (GM)
Totally no Gible there.

Phosphera tackles Axel

Drufle (GM)
Gabite has Rough Skin, which is actually pretty good.

Axel
"Wah!!"
I need PP to use that
I have none so far

Drufle (GM)
You can spend 1 pp to do 1 damage to someone who hits you with a contact move.
And Avalugg has Perfect Defense!

Brunt looks at his own body. he is finally content with himself

Drufle (GM)
-1 damage to any moves that hit him on the turn he comes in.

Brunt
shwing

Axel
does the book distinguish contact moves?

Drufle (GM)
Oh sorry no, it's actually just Physical moves in the book.
But, you know.
Earthquake wouldn't make much sense for Rough Skin, ya know?

Axel
probably not

Brunt
yeah

Axel
unless I use PP to just tackle you

Drufle (GM)
Oh huh.
Mega Avalugg is Ice/Steel with Arena Trap?
Interesting.

Axel
its not like we switch

Drufle (GM)
Yeah I know.

Axel
Ice/Steel though
I'm not sure if that's good or bad

Brunt
One Punch

Drufle (GM)
Oh look! Fighting moves!

Brunt
hm?

Axel
wut happened?

Brunt
I haven't taken a boon yet!

Jack
:P

Drufle (GM)
I'm just joking, saying that Fighting moves have a 4x against him.

Jack
oh right
yes
Wan Panch

Axel
Fighting and Fire
its not a fun time

Drufle (GM)
Honestly, Ice/Steel is pretty terrible defensively.

Jack
IT SHOULDN'T BE
LOOK AT IT
that one giant ice carrier!

Axel
its because Ice is such a terrible defensive typing

Drufle (GM)
Ice's only resistance is Ice, which Steel resists anyway.

Jack
glaciers
it's such bullcrap

Drufle (GM)
Yeah it's honestly absurd.

Axel
I'm sad by it too

Jack
ice is much better in the type chart I made for Diggles!

Axel
Ice really needs more resistances

Drufle (GM)
Maybe we'll... do something about that.
I don't know.

Axel
like, Water
it makes sense for Ice to resist water, right?
we've had mutual resistances before

Drufle (GM)
Mega Avalugg could have a special Arena Trap that adds to his resistances?

Axel
we can try that

Jack
hmm
I'll think of something

Drufle (GM)
Probably not remove any weaknesses, but at least give some resistances.

Axel
non-4X weaknesses become neutral?
or let him resist Water

Drufle (GM)
Water, Grass, perhaps?

Axel
and uh...Flying?
Water, Grass, Flying?

Jack
yes water and grass

Drufle (GM)
Ice should really resist Grass anyway.

Jack
I resist flying through steel
anyway

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Axel
when Pokefactory is finished, I want that to be a change
Ice resists Water and Grass

Drufle (GM)
Anyway! That's all for now.

Axel
maybe not grass

Jack
ok!

Drufle (GM)
4 Gyms down out of 7.

Axel
Grass is resisted by a lot already

Jack
thank you for taking the time on a sunday!

Axel
poor grass

Drufle (GM)
Only two gyms you guys don't know about!
SEEEEEEECRETS

Axel
we will find them

Jack
the forbidden gyms

Axel
and we will defeat them
somehow

Drufle (GM)
Well I mean, I can tell you where they are.

Jack
where you fight and the pokemon bet on you

Axel
despite our glaring type weaknesses

Drufle (GM)
The types are secrets.
Well, lemme see...

Axel
you have told us that we do not have the types for this

Drufle (GM)
Saul will probably not have trouble with one, and do well at the other.
You guys have like.

Jack
does Cici?

Drufle (GM)
Nothing really for either of these.
Cici would own one gym hard, and have some issues with the other.

Jack
...the _same_ ones as us?

Drufle (GM)
You two have nothing either way for one of the gyms.

Jack
aw

Drufle (GM)
Oh wait, I forgot.
You do have a slight type advantage over the other.
Moreso Jack than Axel.

Jack
ah well

Axel
which means a duel type we have

Jack
time for boons

Drufle (GM)
Yep!
That's all for now, shoo!
