Recently: You're battling the fourth and final Elite Four member, Geno. Aria hurt her voice from pushing too hard. You're winning, but not by a huge margin.

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 it comes up.

Combat involves rolls! Once there's a clear vote winner, we roll for the move accuracy/crit/secondary effect. Usually it's just three 1d100s. Sometimes you can get a modifier from circumstances, so be creative! Add flair, do tricks with moves, mess with terrain, whatever! This is not a video game.

Call me out on a mistake and receive an apology butt or suggestive picture.

This is a nice quest.

Yay!

Geno’s Altaria keeps steady as the poison begins to take it’s toll.

This one isn’t like his others. It lacks the keen, hard look in it’s eyes. But that doesn’t make it any less threatening.

Nibbles flexes. He’s take a few solid hits and just used Protect to stall. He’s a champ when it comes to taking abuse, though. Heavy damage doesn’t seem to slow him down one bit. If anything, he gets stronger.


“A wise move, but you can’t stall forever, Kat.” He reaches for a Pokeball. You remember that Altaria’s ability is Natural Cure. He might be switching. Or he might just be bluffing to make you drop your guard.

It’s risky. Unless he uses a very weak move, Nibbles could be knocked out.

>Swap Pokemon
>Try Protect again (has a chance to fail if used twice in a row)
>Roll with the next attack, taking it but reducing the damage enough to survive
>Dragon Dance while he switches. The perfect setup
>Poison Fang again!
>Charm, lower its attack
>Rock Slide, knock it out of the sky
>Crunch, you might lower its defence
>Thunder Fang, might paralyze
>Something else

it would be a shame if somethin happened to it

>>Rock Slide, knock it out of the sky

Hey, I actually caught one of these right at the beginning.

>Crunch, you might lower its defence
Neutral damage against either of his Pokemon if he swaps and solid overall

gobblegobblegobble
>Thunder Fang, might paralyze

What if somebody is going to make us a board we can't refuse?

>Charm, lower its attack

>Rock Slide, knock it out of the sky

Rolled 80 (1d100)

[Okay doke. Roll em]

Rolled 4 (1d100)

Rolled 5 (1d100)

Gobble pls

Rolled 58 (1d100)

Wew

what if here were TWO boards we couldn't refuse? One for each half of the name?

Well. At least we managed mediocre?

I'd say average rather than mediocre
30-40 would be more of the mediocre range

Eh, when you're rolling three dice 58 is pretty mediocre

Average result for best of 3 dice is like 70+ though.

I hope you're doing okay, Gobble. Remember, your little trainers are here for you.

>your little trainers
Don't make us sound lewd, user.

Yeah, we're already lewd enough as it is.

I'd train with gobble any time~

But we are the lewdest.

Speak for yourself, we are like, moderately lewd.

I dunno, I think we're at least above average in lewdness

“Dragon Pulse again!”

“Use Rock Slide!”

Nibbles is pelted dead on as starts launch rocks. They only get a few feet since he was hit before pulling off the move.

“Oh! A hard blow!”

“Indeed, Chip. It’s typical of Geno’s well-known precision and accuracy.”

“Speaking of, Geno’s been coming up short of his usual performance when it comes to critical hits.”

“That’s right Chip. Our instant replay team has been on the case since the first few moves, and it looks like Kat’s Pokemon seem to be very guarded when it comes to their vulnerable spots.”

Nibbles takes awhile to get up, then he flops right over.

A referee lifts a card. “Tyrantrum is unable to battle!”

Damnit! Nibbles took a few super-effective hits already, and you guess he just didn’t have it in him to tank one more like that.

“You did good, Nibbles.” You retrieve him and reach for your next Pokemon.

At least the poison seems to be hurting Altaria. He doesn’t seem to concerned about it though.


>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
>Destiny (Kingdra) - Very heavily damaged
>Fel (Butterfree)
>Oberon (Garchomp)

>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
This is our counter to him.

>>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)

>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
This is your destiny, Dan!

>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)

>Very heavily damaged
Was she even hit? I thought she was just resting from Dodging so much?

Hit by ice shards and crit extreme-speed with shell smash.

>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
It's time.

>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)

>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
Is this the point we let out the Lock-On, Sparkle Cannon combo?

Nah son, Magnet Rise for the switch out.

It was just the Extreme Speed

Shards of ice hit when Dragonite broke out of the ice.

Also reminder that Altaria can learn Flamethrower, and even then Dan is still our best option. Especially if it goes mega.

We should bang Claire's pokemon.

Dan can take a hit for sure. Just the question of going for setup on a switch or KOing it.

user pls

Yeah we've got Sturdy and this is his Ace
we should Lock-On first turn and Sparkle Cannon

“Dan! Come on out!”

Zappy Dan, your tough, shiny Pokemon appears.

The sunlight coming off of Dan is almost blinding. He looks especially shiny in contrast to the muddy, leafy mess that is the arena.

Geno narrows his eyes. “Now what’s this? You’ve got quite the game plan, don’t you?” His raven hair whips back from a sudden gust of wind. “Yes. Some sort of hidden ace up your sleeve. Now this is interesting.”

You try not to let it show on your face. His reputation for seeing through things is deserved.

“Come on, Dan. Let’s do this!”

Dan looks moderately excited. Not a lot, but more than usual. For Dan, that’s the equivalent of being very fired up, though.

>Thunder Wave, be the status queen!
>Supersonic, confuse
>Thunderbolt, Dan’s electric power is unmatched
>Mirror Shot, use that shine!
>Magnet Rise, become immune to ground moves
>Sparkle Cannon (A one-hit KO move. Llow accuracy. Steel Type)
>Lock On, make the next attack automatically hit
>Electric Terrain, prevent sleep
>Magic coat, reflect any non-damaging moves they use against you
>Flash! Ahh! Savoir of the universe
>Light Screen
>Flash Cannon, a strong Steel move
>Magnet Bomb, a solid physical hit
>Sink Dan in the mud. He'll take hits harder, but can use 100% of his strength to attack

>>Lock On, make the next attack automatically hit

>Flash! Ahh! Savoir of the universe
I didn't need these keks, Gobble.

>>Lock On, make the next attack automatically hit

>Flash Cannon, a strong Steel move

>Thunder Wave, be the status queen!
We can move from there. I'd argue against using our Sparkle Cannon, he's expecting it now and it would be better to save it for the Champion.

>>Lock On, make the next attack automatically hit

>Lock On, make the next attack automatically hit

Guys, he can just swap out if we lock on. Also if we use sparkle cannon now then Violet will know about it.

>Thunder Wave, be the status queen!

>Thunderbolt, Dan’s electric power is unmatched
Eh.

>>Flash Cannon, a strong Steel move
Let's fuck this bitch up normal and save Sparkle cannon for the next poke

>Flash! Ahh! Savoir of the universe

>Flash Cannon, a strong Steel move
This can also fuck up Fing Fang Foom if he swaps.

>Flash! Ahh! Savoir of the universe
He'll save every one of us!

>Flash Cannon, a strong Steel move

[You know the drill. Since its plenty possible to still lose this battle, I want to make sure there are no debates about the vote. 5 minute, quote-only vote. Will you use Lock On, or Flash Cannon?]

Yay PQ! Maybe this and the beer will wash the taste of Veeky Forums's abysmal performance in the 4CCC out of my mouth.

Rolled 3 (1d100)

[Welp, roll them dice!

Geno is switching Altaria out. This attack will be against his Tyrantrum]

Rolled 4 (1d100)

Noice

Rolled 96 (1d100)

Rolled 39 (1d100)

fuck em up

Rolled 56 (1d100)

Rolled 94 (1d100)

Now that is what I like to see on a super effective, STAB, hit.

Well, he's not wrong, that is a dumb hat.

Well that was a poor choice on his part, wasn't it?

Rikitty rikitty rekt sun

Dan The Man strikes again!

Oh

Oh baby

We might have just one shot him.

If not then next round for sure.

...

I wouldn't go that far user; Destiny barely 1 hit Salamance and that was x4 effective and crit shell smashed.

good job user
Whose left on Geno's team right now?

Tyrantrum and Altaria

It was also a mediocre roll

Good point, guess it all depends on that thing is defensively.

So what does a 3 mean on a switch?
is his Tyrantrum gonna trip out of the ball?

“Altaria, come back!” He retrieves her and sends his next Pokemon out. “Fin Fang Foom, let’s show-”

At the same time, you have Dan use Flash Cannon. The sunlight gathers on a point on Dan’s metal shell closest to his target.

Geno slumps his shoulders and sighs just a little bit. But you still see a smile on his face. He gambled and lost.

The shot pierces through the air and his Tyrantrum. It’s always alarming, because it goes through Pokemon. Even though it obviously doesn’t make any holes, it’s jarring the first time you see it.

Fin Fang Foom was placed directly in front of the shot, taking it in a weak spot. He spins out and flails into the mud.

Geno raises his Pokeball, but then stops. His Pokemon rises to it’s feet.

“Are you sure?”

It nods. It has it’s pride. Even covered and mud and obviously hurt, it looks very intimidating.

“Very well! Fin Fang Foom, let show them the spirit of the dragon!”

He roars. Your heart races. There’s something about that determination that speaks to you. You’re also a bit worried. He could really hurt Dan if you don’t take him out quickly.

If Dan uses a weaker attack, you might be able to outspeed him. He’s pretty far thanks to Geno’s sloppy pokeball toss.

>Thundershock! Dan can fire that off very quickly
>Have Dan repulse himself up as high as possible. He’ll come down hard after, but avoid a ground attack now
>Sonic Boom. Not as quick as Thundershock, but you’re convinced it’ll do enough damage
>Magnet Rise. If you’re lucky, you might outspeed him. It’s risky, but can pay off for ground attacks
>Magnet Bomb. It’s not fast, but guaranteed to take him out
>Swap Pokemon
>Something else

if we go by the numbers, we're pretty much guaranteed to drop him. but this quest doesn't go by the numbers

>Sonic Boom. Not as quick as Thundershock, but you’re convinced it’ll do enough damage

>>Thundershock! Dan can fire that off very quickly
