Recently: You're battling Team Imperium's General Harris as a distraction while everyone sneaks away in a tunnel.
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. Weak moves tend to be quicker.
Call me out on a mistake and receive an apology butt or suggestive picture.

So, what do you think of the latest reveals with Sun and Moon, Gobble?
Seems Game Freak are really treating the newest Team as a joke this time around,
Parker Reyes
You really want to take this chance to make a break for it, but you just can’t let those people get hit. You hope you don’t regret this.
“Destiny! Ice Beam!”
Destiny twirls and fires off a beam of ice against the five headed Dodrio. It’s a really tricky shot, but since the goal is to specifically freeze the puss, Destiny is able to get most of it before it bursts.
“Ah!” One of the people yells as she holds her hand. You can see smoke coming off of it.
A few other people jump away and brush bits off their clothes, but nobody is seriously hurt. judging at how some of the frozen goo sizzles through the ice, that could have gone much, much worse.
Dodrio sighs and many of it’s eyes roll. It looks terribly sick.
“Your injured Pokemon won’t stand a chance against what I have coming up next. No more play time.”
You lock eyes with Harris. He seems pretty set on beating you in front of these people.

[I'm not super up to date, but hearing that IVs can be trained is very exciting.]
Anthony Powell
>Smokescreen and run (will be harder now)
We've done more than enough, time to bolt.
Kayden Smith
>Smokescreen and run (will be harder now)
If we take too long then the others will come back for us, which defeats the purpose of us stalling.
Carson Davis
>Smokescreen and run (will be harder now)
William Brown
If we run we're gonna lose the possibility of him breaking the cameras or whatever for us, which would be beneficial.
Oliver Young
>>Smokescreen and run (will be harder now)
Blake Green
Let's put it this way in terms of Team Skull:
They're edgy rappers dressed in black uniforms that the members of the team have to buy themselves.
Thomas Parker
.....and the fucking super sentai moves
sigh, at least some of it looks good
Grayson Cooper
>Finish your battle. You can get away after
Adam Collins
I think at this point Game Freak is just parodying edgy fanfiction with these guys.
Landon Rivera
It's going to be so hard putting together a team, I've lived so many of the new pokes so far. Wishiwashi, pyukumuku, wimpod, chargabug, alolan exeggcutor, fomantis, and the starter final stages haven't even been revealed yet!
Alexander Ortiz
Don't forget Drampa.
Got to love poke-Falkor!
Tyler Rogers

Fampai, you're sounding like those guys on the serebii forums

Anyway, roll for Kat's getaway before she's captured or killed. Tomorrow I should have the rest of the hardcore sex lewdbin ready.]

I wouldn't call this edgy.
Team Imperium is a credible, interesting villain.
Team Skull seem a bit too Shadow the Edge-hog to be taken seriously.
Juan Myers
Clair + Robin
Did you remember the Milktank pjs?
Matthew Gutierrez
Damn, probably not good enough.
Thomas Williams
It's certainly better than a 31.
Jaxson Carter
[No worries, user. I know what you mean. I appreciate your consideration.]
Robert Clark
For the love of God, I really hope whatever exit strategy we choose involves this guy getting maimed at the very least. For the rest of this mission we should be killing Imperium members on sight. This shit is beyond fucked.
Luis Edwards
If you want, I'll link the trailer and you can see what I mean.
Isaiah Myers
Hmm, okay. I can get behind that.
Jack Hall
You’ve done enough. It’s time to get out of here. Just before Harris throws out his last Pokemon, you make your move. “Destiny! Smokescreen! Wide!”
She understands exactly what your intent is and sprays the smokescreen the best she can. As everyone’s eyes are on her you start running. Once she’s done you turn quick enough just to bring her back into her ball.
It takes a few seconds before people realize what’s going on. You can hear the shouting behind you.
Then the attacks start. There’s a small crack from a tree you run by and bark flies at you.
A vicious looking Team Imperium member and his Seviper are blocking your path to the cabin door. You duck as a blast of electricity flies overhead. A few flying Pokemon will be on you any second now.
You could force your way through. He and his Seviper look pretty fast though. You could also have a Pokemon help get you through, but that would take the longest and let a lot of them catch up.
You could also try to play something on the flute as you run and calm many of the attacking Pokemon. That’d make things a lot easier, but running and playing is very hard.

Hornbeam isn't the only one capable of mindfuckery.

Grayson Harris
You guys are... really big gambling fans huh?
If Gobble is telling us the DC, that's because he wants to make sure there's no bitching when we inevitably fail.
Andrew Cooper
>Try to run past them (DC 70)
Matthew Taylor
> Inb4 we get an arrow in our eye
Josiah Roberts
At least can we have Aria out so if we fail, she can do her mindfuckery?
Mason Ortiz
Yeah we really should have either left those goons to die or finished the fight.
Jaxon Ross
>Try to run past them (DC 70)
Gabriel Collins
[It's pretty close. Let's be safe with an exact quote only vote. Will you try to run through these two, or use the flute?
Running through is easier, but if you succeed with the flute the rest of your escape won't be as hard.]

My question exactly.
Our luck has been rather poor all day.
Now, we're courting Bad End territory.
Jaxson Walker
Because it'd give the other bad guys time to catch up.
It doesn't matter though, we were fucked the second we decided to fight in the first place and continued to just make bad decisions after that.
David Stewart
People just had to ice beam and not run.
Bentley Thomas
They probably would have gotten horribly injured though, in ways they probably didn't deserve.
Aiden Long
Six of the last eight rolls beat 70.
John Adams
>Because it'd give the other bad guys time to catch up.
The difference being, we wouldn't have been as easy to take down while running.
Unless this was the into the forest option, which I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
Gavin Cox
Which is kind of annoying really. LIke now our only hope is our friends rescue us without getting too injured, because we decided to care about the safety of others.
Dominic Adams
Also, and this is just a personal thing, but I really don't like it when the stakes are this high for this quest. It just feels kind of wrong.
Colton Ramirez
DESU this is narrwitvely way better. The suspense and future escape attempt will be great
Lucas Nguyen
True, but look at how well the rolls have been going against us as well.
Asher Ward
I think it may have been a bad idea going so late with the thread. Sleepy anons make bad decisions.
Elijah Kelly
Probably also the case, I know I'm really tired myself.
Like starting a second thread wasn't a great idea.
Gabriel Cruz
A fair bit worse, but really only because of the 98 and the 85. Other than that, most of the attacks were dodged, low rolls or both.
Justin Young
I had went to bed after the smoke and ice vote because I figured that would be it, good thing for insomnia.
Camden Sanchez
I also have 20 bucks on some user having an IP that changes every time they post, there is no way in hell 22 people are still posting besides Gobble.
Gabriel Stewart
You’ve got this. You’re Kat. You’re slippery. You’ve been in scraps and you’ve wrestled and outmaneuvered Delmer before. This no-name should be easy. Sure, the drug you took slowed your reflexes a little and you don’t have the full advantage of a major distraction, but you can do this.
You run right at him. He spreads his arms wide to intercept. Perfect. You duck and move around the side where he has his weight on his leg so he’ll have to do an extra shift to turn around. You run into Seviper and already work out how to get around it. It’s easy. You just-
Seviper uses Glare.
Your body freezes as if in shock, and you stumble forward onto the grass. You struggle to get up but the Team Imperium member grabs your legs. “I got her!”
You kick, but it’s so hard to move. Your muscles shake and respond slowly

user, you want to get captured or bank on someone coming to rescue us?
Luis Cook
Damnit, I feel like sending all our pokemon out risks them getting killed.
I'm really tired and this is really stressful, I don't like this at all!
Austin James
>Start throwing out Pokemon and try to fight your way out (things may get nasty, but it’s night and your Pokemon are powerful, cornered animals)
Andrew Scott
That or he just doesn't want to risk our pokemon or random people dying.
Camden Cook

ALL. BETS. ARE OFF!!
Justin Phillips
Look where caring about random people got us.
Camden Perez
Man, Kat is reslly bad at following directions. This is why we should have just used smokescreen and run as soon as we got the signal.
Hunter Wright
Nah man, gotta use icebeam! Not any of the attacks we had seen that very thread we knew we could use quickly!
Jacob Wright
I blame people not paying attention more than basic morality for that.
Lucas Roberts
>Try to pick his pocket and stash whatever you get (DC 60) I don't want any of our pokemon to become killers, and I don't want any of them to die. Why did you guys insist on trying to fight the General guy instead of running away, was it because it's been a while since we've had a pokemon battle/thread?
No, we should have run from the very start like Robin and everyone else wanted us to and not acted like a shounen protagonist, we had no reason to accept that challenge.
Jeremiah Evans
We can always have our Pokemon just use status moves out the ass and slowly drag us away, but this is what happens what a quest runs too late and final destination votes are given to everything.
Daniel Murphy
Look, a lot of people who we don't know for sure are bad guys would have gotten really injured if we hadn't done that, so we were able to protect them, our own pokemon, and even mostly the Dodrio. The problem is we should have waited for another opportunity or our friends to create one instead of just trying to force one.
Easton Wilson
That means it'll all be on Dan then, because no one else we have on us, to my knowledge, has status moves.
Asher Young
Aria has sing and thunder wave.
Tyler Bell
Devon has Roar.
Tyler Hill
So can we just have an extra vote to follow plans to the letter from now on, this is the how manyth time not doing so has caused more trouble than it is worth?
Nolan Fisher
>Tried to vote for the smart option, to just run awat when we had the perfect chance >Vote doesn't count because you capitalized a word >Smart choice loses on technicality >Now the plan is fucked up and we might die
Just quest things
Luis Nguyen
>die Oh user, Hornbeam would turn us into his ultimate warrior and mutate all our Pokemon into monsters.
Christian Williams
Why the fuck would you capitalize a word?
Also this thread was doomed from the very start when you fuckers ignored the advise and feelings of the friendly NPCs because you wanted to show off.
