Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
Tearu:119/120 (I can take a hit plus padding.)
Gun'yōken:51/53
Tearu realizes to late that the birds above him are enemies as well. Luckily for him they overlook his presence. He begins to reach for fennikusu's ball again when he remembers the electrified wires from earlier and decides to call on Atamanokatai instead. "Kabā no ushiro ni todomari, shuyōna mono wa sore jitai o hyōji suru tame ni matsu Gun' yoken." hearing his master speak Gun'yōken puts the nearest dumpster between him and the birds.
Spoiler
Translation: Gun'yōken wait behind cover for the beast to show itself.
He always was noticing eagles, hawks, pretty much anything that happened to be in the air. Those took precedence over rocks or anything.
Now that said, his aerial paranoia availed him none, as the blast of air hit him firmly. Again came the usual feeling of his body warping as if he was made of clay before snapping back to normal. Urgh. Now he stared up, a bit concerned.
Douglas was honestly surprised he managed to keep his footing despite rocks. He glanced up to note Truse flinch from the hit - but also noticed that there were now others who likely were going to obtain the flying pokemon's full attention.
Summarily, he kept an eye out about the battlefield for a moment, focusing on looking around.
Spoiler
A few questions thrown into the OOC topic.
Truse: 67/84
Douglas: 72/92

Aeon unlatches two pokeballs from her belt and sends out Espeon and Gallade to join the already released Siglyph. She leaves Axew in his pokeball for now as she looks around giving them a moment to get their bearings.
The birds fry around you, as it sounds like the Beast is receding. It seems like the first assault's over-just as the first pawniards crest the lips of the holes and leap at your faces. More pokeballs shatter the windows, and three new pidgeottos enter the fray, and one swablu, as people burst through doorways. They are holding impromptu weaponry.

Zachariah sighs as the men show up. Great, more man on man fighting. Well, not doing anyone any good out of combat. Now who to bur- Wait, idea, and a fun one.
Zachariah leans calmly against a wall, still invisible, and focuses on the the weapons in the men's hands. Chains, shivs, a pipe... So much fun stuff. The weapons attempt to leap out and start making jabs and swings at their previous holders.
Tearu was about to breath a sigh of relief at not needing to hurt anyone; when the second wave crashed down on them, literally. "Tori Atamanokatai atsukaimasu. Chikara no tenohira de, korera no hyūmanoido o kōgeki Gun' yōken." knowing his Pokemon can deal with themselves he turns to attack the nearest goon. As he approaches the goon's weapon begins to attack it's former wielder, seemingly of it's own accord. "Well I guess psychics aren't completely worthless after all" Tearu thinks to himself as he sends a kick at the goons gut.
Spoiler
Translation: Atamanokatai deal with the birds. Gun'yōken attack those humanoids with force palm.

Douglas noted the increase in enemy pokemon and people. Yikes, these guys really weren't playing around... they must've felt particularly threatened.
Or, possibly and less pleasantly, maybe this is just a small fraction of what was about to be happening.
Either way, they'd waited until after the beast had presumably gone. That was helpful information for shortly as it meant that the pokemon probably wasn't fully controlled even by them.
Truse also had noticed the increase in enemy pokemon and people, and was as usual a lot more practical with the information. He interposed himself between Douglas and an encoming assault, returning the breeder to the present and not the future. Right. Good thing that bulk up had happened - Truse was now quite sturdy.
Thus, his attention turned to the others in the group, to ensure they were in good shape. He patted his machoke on the shoulder as he did so, elicting a smirk as the response.

Aeon grunts as the bird slashes her. She stumbles backwards holding her side as watched Tempus get read to leap to slash the bird that had dared hurt her. Seeing her other pokemon ready, she released Axew from the pokeball as well and stood amongst all her pokemon.
Spoiler
Trainer action just releasing Axew since I don't got much in terms of trainer actions. All pokemon but Axew got 5+ int so I'll command him and the rest will act when it comes to the pokemon's turns.
I'm assuming based on the initative you don't want us giving all our pokemon attacks and rolls now? I already know what they are all going to do. Gallade will slash the bird that hit Aeon, Espeon will confusion another one, Siglyph will snipe a third, and Axew will claw if something is in range otherwise he'll dragon rage.
John sees the movement out of the corner of his eyes but he can't fly out of the way and gets speared by two of the pidgeottos.He utters a solid grunt, but quickly recovers. He then hears Era telling him to move or be fried. So he quickly moves to his right. Which is out of the line of fire, and says back Fire at will, I'll weaken these two for you. He then concentrates and gathers all the electricity around him and Discharges it at the two pidgeottos that hit him.

More pidgeottos fry, as roughly half their weapons turn against them. However, this doesn't dissuade the gangsters, who charge in. One gets hit in the face by Tony's guitar, before stabbing the mystic. Another scores a hit on him as well. Two each head towards the visible, groundbound people.
Zachariah silently directs Ambrule to get close to the men, trying to keep his allies out of the ensuing blast. "Shame the beast ran. Guess we'll have to settle for frying these Mukers!" The flame on Ambrule rages and expands to engulf any man within 3m of the Litwick.

Atamanokatai hears it's masters directions but recognizes that after twin explosions of fire and lightning the birds are fairly well taken care. At the same time it realizes that one of the goons is about to blindside Tearu and moves to intercept the attack.

John Happy to see the two birds crash into the ground with a solid thunk. Knowing that he won't have to deal with them anymore. His attention now turns to the giant melee on the ground below him. It's a shame Houndoom can't use smog right now he thinks to himself. Otherwise we could make a wall and force them to come at us from only one side.
He then looks down and sees the mens weapons beating their owners upside the head. Seeing this John bursts out in laughter. Knowing the reason why they are attacking their masters he informs the psychic I approve. Great Idea. via telepathy.
He continues to scan the battle field and sees Tony taking on a team of people. Go help tony. Use bite on one of the goons. Houndoom then charges at the goon that stab Tony and bites down as hard as he can on the goon's leg.
Spoiler
Bite acc 2 (1d20)[5](5) 15+ they flinch

Tempus was about to jump to defend his master against the pokemon, but when the thugs ran at her he quickly changed targets to slash one of the men down.

Damage: (2d8+24)[29]
((I'll refrain from using Custos and Axew to not be too overpowered))
Douglas tried to keep to Truse as the thugs rushed at him.
Had he been a more focused combatant, it might have occured to him that with this many targets about, Vicuña's area of effect attacks may have been more directly helpful than Truse's single target punches. Still, while he was steadily improving at thinking on his feet, that idea had not occured to him.
"Truse... wait." He said, softly - and was relatively ignored, as the machoke gave a fierce karate chop at one of the thugs who was adjacent to him. These people were actively attacking him and his trainer, and he had no interest in allowing either of the two of them to continue to be assaulted.

Five trainers go down, from Ambrule's onslaught and the attacks of those seeking to help the mystic. Three humans, four pawniards, two pidgeottos, and the swablu remain. The pawniards scratch and tear at Truse, seeing their potential ruin, while the pidgeottos keep trying to take air superiority. But the swablu...the swablu flies down amongst as many as it can, and sings. (1d20)[1]-sing (1d20)[5] (1d20)[14] (1d20)[3] (1d20)[5] (1d20)[17] (1d20)[6]
Damage rolled later
Zachariah: 127/152 (Including this turn)
Ambrule: 71/71
Era: 109/109
Zachariah stifles a laugh as the men are beaten with their weapons, and is stopped from outright cheering when Ambrule burns so many of them only by a chain slamming into his gut. Muked that up. Feel free to stop the bloodshed at any time. It can't be worse than what your boss will do if you just plain fail. The eight weapons turn on the three remaining men if (who am I kidding, when) the men refuse, though he fumbles two more of the weapons. Ouch.

Tearu takes two heavy blows; one to the face one to the back of his knees. The high-low attack sends Tearu sprawling. Lying on his back Tearu sees Atamanokatai take a swip at one of the goons and even though it wasn't what he asked of it, he accepts the mon's actions. "Gyakuten de herupu Truse o Gun' yōken. Atamanokatai wa watashi no tame ni sorera o distact.." Then Tearu rolls onto his feet and dashes towards Dougles. He attempts to tackle one of the guys attacking Dougles and Truse.
Spoiler
Translation: Gun'yōken help Truse with reversal. Atamanokatai distact them for me.
I can't remember if we could bull rush so I'll role on the OOC when I figure out if I can bull rush.
Seeing that Tony is now fighting an easier battle than he was before. John Had a decision to make. Should he keep attacking the pokemon who could be the x factor in this fight, or should he assist the other psychic with crowd control? After a few seconds of deep thought he sees more pokemon in his air space.
You all are flying in a no fly zone. It's about time for you all to become grounded. He says at the birds. As he again gathers the electricity around his person and then gathers it into his hands. He then lines up his shot, and shoves his arms out in front of him and a gaint beam of electricity shoots out towards his targets.
Spoiler
discharge again...(Does EOT apply for psychics, future reference.) Going for for thunderbolt. I will position myself to get as many of them as I can, and not hit my team mates.

Douglas glanced at Truse for a moment - and the Machoke gave him a brief thumbs-up. Good.
Truse was actually worried about Douglas' health more than his own. He also knew that Douglas was likely looking everywhere else at the moment - from thugs, to pawniards, to flyers. Once again came the wish that he could speak - only, as he recalled, last time he did as such he was put off his game. Now was time to focus.
Douglas did note Tearu coming towards him, however. A quick scan up and down showed him that the trainer was hurt, but it was not serious as of yet. Thus, as soon as he was in reach, Douglas reached towards him.
"Here - eat this, it'll help." He said, shoving a grape-sized bundle of herbs into Tearu's hand. It'd work more as a numbing agent for now, but it'd help accelerate his natural healing - he could wait for proper attention later.
"...it's very bitter." He warned, as an afterthought.
Spoiler
Tearu heals 20hp!
...well, provided he eats it, anyway.

(Since psychics burn HP and I'm going to make that matter as much as I can, no.)
You get the feeling these ones just enjoy what they do immensely, as they look around. Most are bleeding, and Tony smacks another one hard enough to shatter a jaw, but they go back in, aiming for nearby targets. Tearu faces one, (include bull rush roll in next post, 1d20+str), Tony a second that wraps a chain around his arm, and Doug a third. (1d20)[8] (1d10+18)[25] (1d20)[12] (1d10+18)[22]
Your choice. Ambrule floats high enough in the air to avoid the Pawniard and spits some hot embers at the man attacking Tony, while Era attempts to again disorient the man assaulting Douglas.

Truse shifted as they attacked - more or less in a wrestler's pose. He gave half a nod towards the aid he was getting - and, focusing on reducing targets, delivered a fierce blow at the adjacent pawniard.
Spoiler
Truse's attempt to block for Douglas: (1d20)[10]
Truse's karate chop attack roll: (1d20)[19]
Truse's karate chop damage roll: (1d10+35)[40]
Edit: And that's an almost certainly unnecessary critical hit.

"Thanks" Tearu calls as he snatches the herb out of Dougles's hand as he runs by and shoves it in his mouth. The herb was extreamly bitter but he had tasted worse so he pressed on and attempts to take one of the goons attacking Dougles to the ground.
Spoiler
(1d20+4)[18](22)
Gun'yōken missed his target entirely the last time but acting on his masters orders tries again.
Atamanokatai hears his masters direction but watches as the two people who just attacked its master go down from the mystic girl's pokemons attacks and instead decides to attack the singing bird.
Spoiler
Metal claw
Steel (1d20)[5](5) 3 raise attack on 18-20 (1d10+28)[8](36)
Seeing the battle still in their teams favor he figured it would be time for some of his other pokemon to get some experience. But first there was still some trainers and other pokemon to deal with.
Houndoom continue to assist Tony. Bite the arm that is holding the chain. he shouts over the mens growing agonies as htey are beaten at every turn.
More enemies fall, and their numbers are thin. The remaining pawniards swing and fail, the pidgeottos eye escapes, the swablu flies away, and only a few men push onwards.
There is a faint creaking from down below, like tearing metal.
