Pokémon I want to be the very best: Group 1 (UK)

[Thunder999]

Jonathon uses Agility Training"Go fast Poppy, just like we practiced, strike that Cyndaquil before he can act!."

And with that initiative boost, Poppy is up next, shifting to within range 4 of Treble she's fires off a Water Gun.

Spoiler: ROLLS

Show

Accuracy check (1d20+1)[18] vs 2+special evasion.
Damage (2d6+31)[36] and it's water type, so super effective will double it after applying special defense.

[Paladin12]

Treble is knocked out. Ruki lament over her friend, and then lets out an Icy wind on poppy and Beauty.
(1d20)[15]
(2d8+17)[21]

[Lettuce]

Beauty the Wurmple is hit! [21 incoming damage - 5 SpD = 16 damage; 63HP - 16 = 47].
Beauty loses a Speed Combat Stage, bringing her total to -1!

"Shrug it off, Beauty-- you've taken worse," Dash yelled out. "Prepare to extract revenge!"

Dash applies Brutal Training to his Wurmple as a priority action.

[BaconTomato]

Jill shot her spectating parents a look, grinning. She turned back to the battle and pumped a fist in the air. "Okay Div, use Defense Curl!"

Div uses Defense Curl! He becomes Curled Up for +10 Damage Reduction.

[Paladin12]

Oh, just did the 1.5 calculation and rule is still in, with an ember to Beaty!
(1d20)[6]
(2d6+18)[29]

[BaconTomato]

If allowed (as asked about in this OoC post):
Retconning Div's Defense Curl to instead use Water Gun targeting Treble the Cyndaquil.

That'd be an accuracy check of (1d20)[14] ...
And if that hits, damage roll of... (2d6+22)[31] .

[Thunder999]

Jonathon still has his swift action yet, and on his turn he'll use Duelist and Tag Ruki the ninetails.

"Focus Ninetails next!"

[BaconTomato]

Just writing this small RP post in response to Paladin12's ruling about how events unfold, here in the OoC thread.

Jill let out a little high-pitched squeal of excitement as Div's Water Gun pummelled Lyra's Starter, snuffing out the flames on their back and knocking the Cyndaquil out of the battle. She'd just fainted her first pokemon! She was totally a real trainer now!

She and her Spheal both bounced up and down in excitement. "WOO-HOO!! All right!! One down, two to go!!" she celebrated as she waited for Lyra's Lotad to take their turn. This was fun!

[Paladin12]

(Oh no, it’s my turn! Sorry that this has been me!)
Alright, we can still do this! Lily, use absorb on that spheal!
(1d20)[7]
(1d8+15)[21]

[BaconTomato]

Div loses 27 hitpoints from that Absorb. 21 incoming damage - 3 Special Defense = 18, plus 50% for being Singly Super Effective is 27. This brings him from 61 hit points to 34.

Div reeled from the hit, but shook it off with relative ease.
"Hang in there, Div!"

[Lettuce]

"Okay, Beauty, you're up!" Dash shouted to his Wurmple. His eyes flickered between the remaining two opponents before settling on Ruki. An opponent that could hit more than one of his party's Pokémon at once was a threat. And he couldn't just leave Lyra's attack from earlier unanswered!

"Time to pay 'em back for that Icy Wind! Clobber that Ninetales with a Tackle!" He jabbed his pointer figure at the icy white fox for emphasis.

Beauty the Wurmple uses Tackle on Ruki the Ninetales!

Accuracy Roll: (1d20)[20]
Damage Roll: (1d8+12)[19]

[Paladin12]

That’s a crit. Roll the damage again.

[Lettuce]

Beauty the Wurmple lands a critical hit!

Add (1d8+8)[16] to the above Damage Roll of 19 to get Tackle's final damage output!

A genuine grin spread across Dash's face as he watched Beauty land a direct hit on her target, slamming her little red body into the Ninetales with enough force to knock them backwards. "Yeah, that's right, just like we practiced! Show 'em how it's done!" He pumped his fist as he cheered his Wurmple's attack.

[BaconTomato]

Jill's turn again. She uses Agillity Training.

.Jill energetically bounced from one foot to the other. This was all very exciting!
"Keep it up, Div!"
Her parents on the sidelines exchanged fond smiles.

[Thunder999]

Jonathon calls out to Poppy "Don't let up, now's the time to strike" and activates his Strike Again! order for this scene, letting Poppy make an extra at-will attack despite it not being her turn.

Poppy quickly responds, launching a water gun towards Ruki the Ninetales

Spoiler: Rolls

Ruki is Tagged so adding half momentum rounded up to the attack roll on top of focused training
(1d20+2)[4] vs 2+Evasion
For (2d6+31)[39] damage

[Paladin12]

Unfortunately, that does not hit

[Paladin12]

Ruki uses icy wind on Poppy and Beauty.
(1d20)[7]
(2d8+17)[29]

[BaconTomato]

Before that, Div's turn (thanks to the magic of Agility Training):

"Fire! ...Water? ...Shoot them!" cried Jill.


Div uses Water Gun, targeting Ruki.


Accuracy: (1d20)[8]
Damage: (2d6+22)[29]

[Paladin12]

Lily runs up towards Div and spits out a green ball of energy at her.

So it sounds like Ruki is still in the fight and gets that Icy Wind off? I'm getting a little confused about what's going on.

But if so, then:

Beauty the Wurmple is hit! [ 26 incoming damage - 5 SpD = 21 damage; 47HP - 21 = 26 HP remaining. ]
Beauty takes an Injury, bringing her total Injuries to 2!
Beauty loses a Speed Combat Stage, bringing her total Speed CS to -2!

Dash frowned a little as Ruki dished out another Icy Wind, hitting his Wurmple in the process. "Hmph! I guess someone's asking for more punishment." His hand gripped the rim of his hat. "Beauty, get ready to dish out some more pain!"

Dash applies Brutal Training to his Wurmple.

[Paladin12]

She is still in the fight, yes.

[Thunder999]

Poppy launches a second water gun at Ruki, hopefully hitting this time.

Spoiler: Roll

(1d20+2)[18] vs 2+evasion
for (2d6+31)[37]

[BaconTomato]

Jill's eyes widened as she saw the incoming blast of energy from Lily. "Dodge, Div, dodge!"-- it was not so much a command as a hopeful plea.

Spoiler: to Paladin12

Not sure if you're just really busy or if you just haven't seen Thunder999's latest post in the OoC thread a couple days ago, but your own post earlier in THIS thread has broken rolls. You need to make a new post rerolling them so I can note if Div took damage and if so, how much. Thanks.

And we need to know if Ruki is still standing after Thunder999's latest attack too. Technically by initiative count Poppy should be attacking before Lily, but since all of the attackers and targets are different actors in this case it doesn't really matter, and you can resolve both of these things now. (If you're confused about how Poppy is attacking twice in one round, her earlier attack (the one which apparently missed) was from Jonathon using his "Strike Again!" Orders, which is a subset of his "Ravager Orders" Feat. This is now Poppy's normal attack.)
