Thread: Trial Mission

"I don't recognize those Pokemon," Evan said. He pulled out his black Pokedex, flipping it open and aiming it at the nearest of the small grey and black creatures.

"Poochyena," his Pokedex chirped, "the Bite Pokemon. Relies on the strength of its jaw for offense and defense. Commonly affiliated with the Dark type, Bug and Fighting moves are more effective than usual."

Evan smiled. Stepping forwards, he called out in a loud voice, "Stay back from this human; we don't want to have to hurt you, but we'll do what we need to protect him." Drawing a Pokeball from his belt, he aimed it at the ground near his feet and released a small, white Pokemon with four clawed legs and nearly vestigial green wings. "This is my Nincada, and if you attack that boy you'll have to answer to him."

((Step forward to E-10, bring out Nincada to square F-10))

Kyle gazed down upon the scene and analyzed it thoroughly. Silently, he formed a deep strategy that would probably work.

"The Poochyena closest to the group is priority #1," he thought. "Then I keep working my way through the pack, but I have to be positive that they will not hang back and prepare themselves."

He noticed Evan next to him pull out a Nincada.

"Good," he thought. "The type advantage will be useful."

He decided to follow suit and release a Pokemon next to him. He racked his mind to determine how far each of their attacks will go and which Pokemon to best use the slope to its advantage.

"Magneton!" He said with a hint of determination. "I choose you."

(Standing on D 10, sending Magneton onto C 10.)

Aright knowing that Kyle is working from the front to the back I’ll go from the back to the front and meet in the middle that way we can have Evan battle those in the middle and have these Poocheyena sorted in a jiffy.

“I’ll go behind kyle on E11 and send out, you Skorupi onto the tile closest to the boy in trouble maybe we can protect him before we move onto those at the back!” Said Jack

“Evan you take the next Move, you’re closest. We can hit hard with our Bug attacks against them. We just have to make sure and be speedy so they don’t get to the boy he’s defenceless at the moment.” Said Jack

(trainer E11, Skorupi onto F11)

((So, now you have to post in the order described above. That means that GliscorMan posts, saying what his Magneton is doing, and then I will reply with what happened and update the map and stats accordingly. Then kanga will post about what his Skorupi's move, and I'll respond with what happened again. Like in the National Park, I (the DM) will control the Wild Pokemon. This will happen over and over for all Pokemon in the turn order until the Encounter ends. The distinction between Turn One and Turn [Whatever] is just for timing purposes. Here is a link to the movelist just in case anyone needs it. And don't forget, if there are any questions, concerns, or you're not sure if what you're doing is right, please speak up in the other thread. And remember, your Pokemon's movement distance is its Speed divided by 50, rounded down.))

My partners had assembled around me, but closer to the wounded boy. My Magneton would serve me well in this situation. Ranged attacks were its specialty.

"Magneton, move forward and fire a warning shot. Scare them off, if you can. Use Flash Cannon on the nearest Poochyena," told it. It knew that it would understand what I intended, so I held no worries.

At this point, I could only hope that the ranged attack would hit and possibly scare the pack into indecision. Hopefully, my fellow travelers would see some sense in trying not to injure the Pokemon, but scare them off. Most trainers think nothing of a Pokemon's feelings in a battle. I try to not make enemies among Pokemon.

((Magneton moves to D7 and uses Flash Cannon on Poochyena B))

((Okay, so now it's kanga's turn to move his Skorupi.))

Jack saw the magneton move forwards directly in front of one of the poocheyena that was the second closest to us and the boy. He ordered his magneton to use a flash cannon blast upon the poocheyena, luckily it hit even though the odds of it doing so where very low. The only reason it probably hit was because of the training that Magneton had been through to perfect all of his moves.

Alright then Skorupi now it’s our turn we need to hit them with a warning aswell but something that will still do a bit of damage, Move to G8 and use pin needle on the poocheyena the one with an A tattoo’d on his furry little face.

Move to G8 and use pin missile on poocheyena A that is if it reaches if not then ill just sit there

Skorupi moves to G8.
Skorupi uses Pin Missile on Poochyena A, hits twice.

((OOC: Okay, so now evan moves his Nincada, and then I can move the Poochyena.))

Evan tried to think quickly. He wasn't sure why the Pokemon were attacking the boy, but at the very least he deserved protection. Unless the Poochyena pressed the attack, he was okay with staying defensive.

"Alright, Nincada," he said, "head straight forward and use Harden. Don't let them get a good hit on you!"

"And guys," he added, "I'm gonna stand in front of the kid. They'll have to get through me to hurt him!"

((Now it's you guys' turn to move your Trainers, although there probably won't be much you want to do with them at this point in time.))

Tugging his satchel higher on his shoulder, Evan watched the Poochyena advance. Some moved in on the attack, others howled - not, Evan hoped, for reinforcements.

Scrambling towards the edge of the hill, he realized that if the Poochyena got around the Skorupi, the person would be defenseless. Half running, half sliding down the side of the hill, he tried to come around the undefended side of the man.

"Alright, Nincada, they're not retreating. Don't hold back when you have an opening, hit them with your best shot."

The Poocheyna howled and ran around, one even bit my Magneton with fangs cloaked in a harsh, red fire. Evan ran down the hill in order to help the man, which I approved of. There was not much for me to do, but I decided that a better seat to see the action and give orders would be beneficial. I carefully walked forward.

((Me to E9))

Evan moves to E9.

I will move to F9 next to kyle but on the ramp hopefully if one of our pokemon is injured badly then i can rush in and heal them up with a potion.

I recon kyle and Evan would be happy if I helped their pokemon out aswell. After that then maybe i'll move nect to the injured guy hopefully one of us can get there to speak to him and find out what happened.

Skorupi, I need you to be strong you have the advantage we need to work with the others though so we can maybe try to do a combo attack with them.
