Prologue to Disaster (PTA) IC

[CosmicOccurence]

The cave is quite dark as you travel through it. Your pokegears light up your immediate surroundings, and if you choose to use a glow pokemon, you can see a decent amount of the area in front of and behind you.

I edited the map of the tunnel to be editable (there is a link on the pad) figure out which route you plan on using to get through.

Also, due to fatigue, you will take a -1 on all d20 rolls that consult one of your trainer stats (including arm attack AC rolls, rolls for class features, and things like perception checks).

Somebody roll a 1d100 for this leg of the journey, and everyone needs to choose how they're going to affect that roll (if they choose to).

Amber nods, "So it seems...we'll probably want to rest in the next town where it is safer." She says with a yawn.

[Kantolin]

"Yeah."

Ken tried to keep himself and Viktor by the front, just in case. "Let's try to hurry through this cave, then."

[Arcran]

Jakob pulls out Pokeballs, putting a Great Ball in his left and a Quick Ball in his right. Maybe he could end whatever attacks in one round.

[planswalker]

Leon will call out Nicolai to provide light.

"I know some of y'all will give me strange looks for saying this, but perhaps its best if we avoid that "whismur colony". If it was worth marking on the map, I don't think they'll be cuddly little pink puffballs who want to help us out."

[Asdfth]

"You are right Leon since there are on great number we should avoid them.

[CosmicOccurence]

The cave is filled with a constant, and rather loud, jumble of noised. Cries of many different pokemon echo throughout long sections of the tunnel. The dark stone walls are rough and stalagmites and stalactites occasionally appear.

Suddenly, the electrical glow your party sees by illuminates several angry pokemon in front of the group. Two of them appear to be masses of fur, one red humanoid looks like it might have come from a volcano, and another two appear to be small dragon pokemon with black and blue skin. As you see them, a distince rumbling comes up on the group from behind. Three quadrupeds with large neck shields and horns run up and paw the floor of the cavern angrily. Off their backs jump two small brown pokemon with a spine on their heads.

The air stills for a moment as it often does before a large brawl occurs.

Jakob instantly springs into action. He drops the Quick Ball in his left hand, spinning to gain momentum, then kicks the ball, sending it straight at one of the blue and black dragons.

Jakob then begins rapidly scanning his foes.

Viktor obliges, creating a semi-solid wall, surrounding Momo and he on all sides but one.

[CosmicOccurence]

As the lot of you rain pokeballs down upon the attacking pokemon, they begin their assault. Only one of the black dragons disappears inside a ball, the quickball that Jakob had thrown.

The red humanoid shoots a ring of fire at Morph, which lassos it for 26 damage and traps it. The furballs follow up and lob large spheres of mud at the congregated group. Though one is a dud, it hits Ken and Leon for 36 damage and gets in their eyes (need +1 accuracy). Nicolai seems to avoid the attack by what Leon recognizes as his levitate ability. One of the brown mons cries out loudly, causing Momo and Viktor to suffer from -2 Def stages while the other starts a Sandstorm.

Sandstorm. Y'all loose 1/16 of your health at the start each round unless you're special and happen to be rock, steel, or ground type. So subtract that from your health before you post. Rock mons get effective +2 spDef CS

The remaining black dragon shoots a ball of pure draconic energy at Jakob, which connects for 40 damage. Then, the rocky quadrapeds start to move. One attempts to gore Ken with its horn, but fails to connect due to a quick dodge by the small man. The other two, howling at the bright light, smash their feet into the little pink mon doing 68 damage between the two of them. Then, Momo gets off his yawn and the mons surrounding it become drowsy, ready to fall asleep.

The area-effect ground moves could quickly off the trainers if they weren't stopped, so Leon has Nicolai approach Furry 1 and deliver a supercharged spark of power to it.

The jet of dragon fire did not make Jakob's life an easier, almost dropping him to the ground in fiery agony. He just stays standing, just barely.

Rammus, you're up! Hit that Pokemon with Poison Sting! he shouts, pointing his Sandshrew forward, knowing the howling winds of the sandstorm would not affect him.

Can somebody fix the weather? he shouts, lobbing a Great Ball at the dragon as soon as Rammus makes contact.

While Momo is hurt by the storm, his reaction to the pain likely won't come for at least a few seconds.

Also, do we have a Medic? I could use a little help here!

Whack the enemy... fix the weather.

Ken wasn't sure which was the smarter response - the time spent fixing the weather could be spent punching something, and it'd basically lock down both he and his pokemon simultaneously... and that pokemon looked like it was made of stone.

But... wait. Yawn. Okay, hopefully things would cool off. Ken gritted his teeth, eyeing the rest of the group - especially Jakob. Weather needed to change.

"Keep it up, Viktor." He called out, sending out Kleid. "Kleid! Wash away this sand!"

Ken sends out Kleid(Machop), and has him use rain dance to get rid of the sand.

[CosmicOccurence]

Jakob's greatball failed to even hit its target, but instead smashed into the ground and split into several jagged shards. Your pokedexes beep, and identify the pokemon as magby, deinio, larvitar, rhyhorn, and swinub.

The magby launches a toxic cloud of smoke into the air, which does 15 special poison damage and poisons Morph, Nicolai, Amber, Leon, and Drake. The two swinubs launch flurries of snow into the fray. One burst flies wide, but the other hits Nicolai for 24 ice special damage. Then nightengale bursts into song and lulls the magby and swinubs into sleep.

Then, out of the ground burst two more pokemon. One, a small dragon pokemon launches a ball of draconic energy at nicolai, which hits for 40 damage. The other, was a sight to behold. Hunks of giant crystals as large as a human torso connected together to form a giant serpent of light blue crystals.

NIIIIIIX it roared, as it quickly coils itself around Ken, as it does 26 damage and traps him.

Morph launches a smoky at the enemies in the front, and poisoned several of the mons, including the swinubs, magby, and the newest dragon to arrive. Nicolai's attack splutters against the swinub, who you now know is a ground type. Kleid's rain clears the air of the gritty sand that was wearing the rest of you down, and washes away some of the grit from the road. The deinio lets out a scary roar, which scares Nightengale and forces her to be returned. Rammus joins the battle by slamming a barb into the denio.

[Arcran]

Jakob curses loudly, jumping back from the massive crystalline snake. He quickly moves into action, ordering Rammus forward.

"Rammus, hit him hard! Bulldoze!" he shouts, waving his Sandshrew forward.

Rammus slams his hands into the ground, creating small tremors.

Jakob lobs a Greatball after Rammus attacks, putting a little extra spin on it for optimal capture conditions.

[planswalker]

With himself now poisoned and Nicolai taken out, Leon isn't liking the looks of the odds around here. He'll throw another ball in desperation at a larvesta. He'll then quickly switch out Nicolai for Volta, whom he places between himself and the magby and swinub.

"Throw some confusion onto their ranks." Leon commands.

Volta obediently unleases a confusing column or rays that pass through the Magby and the Swinub on the right, confusing them.

(1d100)[81]

[CosmicOccurence]

None of the greatballs thrown by you managed to capture anything, mostly due to the chaotic nature of the battle.

Sleep holds most of the combatants in its thrall, and morph's poison begins to take its toll on the swinubs and magby. The dragon launches a blast of sand at Drake while the rhyhorn and deinio converge on him. He falls under the onslaught of blows, and he falls to the ground, neck twisted gruesomely.

The conscious larvitar deals 39 damage to morph by physically throwing rocks at it. It also flinches the ditto.

Ken takes another 3 damage from the crystal monolith, and it throws a barrage of rocks at the little sandshrew that attacked it dealing 38 damage.

Muk! Jakob curses, seeing multiple Pokemon converge on him. He couldn't handle this many! And Rammus needed a few seconds to recharge his main attack! Fumbling for Rhopa's Pokeball, Jakob sends out the Butterfree.

The Butterfree obliges, scattering spores centered on Drake's dead body.

[CosmicOccurence]

While Leon's and Jakob's balls miss their targets, Amber manages to hit the Larvitar squarely, and after a few seconds of frenzied battling, you all here a ding signifying a successful capture. At the same time, your pokedexes bring back information on the two new pokemon - gible and onix, but the onix has a large question mark next to its name and no information on type, height/weight, or usual behavior.

The magby falls unconscious under the jet of water that Volta launches at it, which one of the swinubs sees as it wakes up, and it sends a volley of ice at Volta doing 26 special ice damage. The other swinub remains sleeping, and the poison is obviously starting to take a toll on them.

The onix flexes its muscles, and Ken cries out in pain as his body twisted into an unmanagable position as the gible finished him off by throwing himself at the martial artist with wild abandon. The other larvitar glares at Joy, and lowers her defense combat stage 1 Stage. One of the rhyhorns next to momo wakes up, and slams one of its feet into it, doing 36 normal physical damage, and flinching the slowpoke, who was no longer protected by the reflection barrier.

Amber thinks for a minute and gets an idea, "Joy, come back." She says calling back the Audino. What she was going to do was risky and she could only hope it worked.

"Sunny, blast the piggies!"

If the attack hit and assuming the swinub are still alive (most likely) Amber tosses one of the crappier pokeballs at one of the Swinub hoping to take it out of the fight.
