Nature/Stats/Moves

Time for another Frontier run. This time, we're tackling the Battle Pike, home of ellipses spam! Here, you'll have to depend a lot on luck and intuition to avoid falling prey to various traps. I'll be picking between one of three paths in each segment. It's like a game of Russian Roulette! Here, Tora, Steele, and Enma-sama will make their grand debut.

Round One!

Room #1
Prediction:"Ah let me see... There is something about the path on the right. Is it... A trainer? I sense the presence of people..."
Let's try going here. :o
Trainer: Guitarist Dakota - CEllen, CShinki, CPatchouli

Room #2
Prediction:" There is something about the path on the left. It seems to have the distinct aroma of Boneka wafting around it..."
Sounds good to me. But... SHE LIED! Dx It was a trainer. A "somewhat-tough" one at that. Dx
Trainer - Battle Girl Joana: Yumeko, Rumia, Chen
*phew* That one was surprisingly difficult. But at least my health was fully restored as a reward.

Room #3
Prediction: "There is something about the path in the center... Is it... a trainer? I sense the presence of people..."
She was right. :o
Trainer - School Kid Elise: CShinki, CReisen, Dolls

Room #4
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the right... For some odd reason, I felt a wave of nostalgia coming from it..."
Wonder what she means by tha- Oh, it's a gentleman. :D And he restored one of my Boneka to full health. =w=

Room #5
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the left...I seem to have heard something... it may have been whispering..."
Probably nothing too bad. And sure enough, it isn't. Just a random guy saying "I QUITE ENJOY THIS CHALLENGE"

Room #6
Prediction: "There is something about the path in the center... It seems to have the distinct aroma of Boneka wafting around it."

Shit!! It's a room with wild Boneka, and one of them is a freaking DLRumia. >.> Luckily, I defeated it before Enma-same got hit with a Dark attack. ._.; But she still got poisoned.

Room #7
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the left.. I seem to have heard something... it may have been whispering."
Sure enough, it's just a kid saying "WAAAH! IT WASN'T THIS WAY"

For what little work I had to do, I got 1 Battle Point. ;w;

Round Two!

Room #1
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the right... I seem to have heard something... It may have been whispering."
Unshockingly, it's yet another person shouting something random. "LALALA LALALA! I AM AWESOME LALALA"
lol.

Room #2
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the left... For some odd reason, I felt a wave of nostalgia coming from it..."
IT'S A TRAP! I got attacked by a trainer's Reimu, which paralyzed Enma-sama. Q_Q And his excuse was that his Boneka had a Timid nature. BULL SHIT. *Falcon Punch*


Room #3
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the right... It seems to have the distinct aroma of Boneka wafting around it..."
Bull crap. :| *takes the center path instead* *gets attacked by a trainer* >.>;
Trainer - Expert Joel: LilyBlack, Kana, Lunasa
Ow. Enma-sama fainted in this battle, and Steele sustained quite a bit of damage.

Room #4
Prediction: "There is something about the path in the center... Is it... a trainer? I sense the presence of people..."
At this point, I should probably follow what I'm told. Thankfully, a maid is waiting in the room. She heals my team to full health. Now it's time to begin kicking ass again!


Room #5
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the left... Is it.. a trainer? I sense the presence of people..."
Trainer. =o=
Trainer - Expert Evan: Nazrin, LilyWhite, Patchouli

Room #6
Prediction: "There is something about the path on the left... I seem to have heard something... it may have been whispering..."
Ouch. It was a trap. QQ I'm being attacked by not one, but TWO trainers. >.>
Trainer: Expert Jordan - Aya
Trainer: Triathlete Emilia - Daiyousei
Thankfully, they didn't present much of a challenge.

Room #7
"I am sorry to say... A terrifying event, yes, a horrible one, is about to befall you... I urge you to pay the utmost care and prepare for the worst..."
O_o;
Prediction: "For every path, I sense a dreadful presence."
Great. So... I'll pick the center path. Inside is another maid. Will she help me?
"I welcome you... Giggle... You seem to be bereft of luck... If only you hadn't chosen this room, your Boneka could have been healed... I shall go fetch our master..."
Well isn't THAT annoying. And with that, the Pike Queen Lucy walks into the room, almost as though trying to irritate me that much more.
"I am Lucy... I am the law here... For I am the Pike Queen... You already know it, but to advance, you must defeat me... ...I'm not one for idle chatter. Hurry. Come on... Your luck... I hope you didn't use it all up here..."


Showdown for the Luck Symbol! Pike Queen Lucy!
Boneka:
LSanae
ATewi
Eirin

(Enma-sama VS LSanae) LSanae used Giga Drain! It's Super Effective! Enma-sama fainted!
Ow.

(Steele VS LSanae) Steele used Brick Break! (LSanae @70%) LSanae used Swagger! It missed! Steele used Brick Break! (LSanae @45%) LSanae used Giga Drain! It's not very effective... (Steele @65%, LSanae @55%) LSanae used Swagger! Steele's Attack sharply rose! Steele was confused! Steele hurt itself in confusion! (Steele @40%) Steele used Brick Break! LSanae fainted!



(Steele VS ATewi) Steele snapped out of confusion! (F*ck yeah!) Steele used Brick Break! It's Super Effective! ATewi fainted!

(Steele VS Eirin) Eirin used Protect! Steele used Earthquake! Eirin protected itself! Eirin used Protect! It failed! Steele used Earthquake! It's Super Effective! Eirin fainted!



Ultimate victory. The Luck Symbol is officially mine, along with 11 Battle Points. Now where is that smart-ass maid? :/
