@Metamore

For moves that do both, I'd say yes to your question. Half of the damage could be done on the turn, while the other half is transferred to the next turn IF next turn's move is successful.

Multi-Hit attacks are just going to be treated like normal attacks.

Pokemon: Prime

Okay, well now you've lost me. You say that the effects won't take hold until the next turn, but then you also say the roll would've been even more in the Larvesta's favor..? So it effects its roll on the same turn, but effects my roll on the next turn?

@Metamore

More no than yes. Let me try explaining this another way.

Say Larvesta used String Shot and rolled a higher number due to having an added 50% boost. That String Shot will not effect anyone's Power Level that turn, but that number is tracked over to the next turn.

Now, on the next turn, the String Shot's effectiveness is added to Larvesta's move IF Larvesta beats you in that second roll too. There is no 50% boost to anyone's roll in the second round, only added damage IF Larvesta's roll is even 1 Point higher than yours. Now, IF you were to beat Larvesta on the second roll, all that added damage goes to waste.

Does that make any more sense?

Pokemon: Prime

Ah okay.
So like in that last fight, it would have been: Anusobeket gets a -50% modifier, thus effectively canceling her STAB for the next turn?
Sounds good, boss!

@Metamore

No, it's a little more complicated. The opposing Pokemon was the one using a status move. It won the roll by 16. By these new rules, it may have won the roll by even more. BUT it would not have done anything to your Totodile THAT turn. Instead, next turn, the result would be skewed in in the wild pokemon's favor (granted the pokemon won that second roll as well).

Does that make sense?

One binder, two hearing aids, three layers of warm clothing, four strapped-in pokéballs, and five attempts at a cheesy speach later and Rin was back on the main road between Zurest and Sunsay. Wind at their back and their goal ahead of them, Rin confidently marched forward. They'd definitely made a lot of progress yesterday through all of their ill-advised running, but with all of their backtracking Rin just hoped they could get to Sunsay before sunset. They probably could, but Rin's perception of travel time was greatly skewed by having only taken a ferry between far distances before. Rin had never walked this far from home in their life. It was exciting though! One never knew what they'd encounter, and the possibilities were endlessly growing with each step they took. Would they bump into a trainer? Would they stumble across a Legendary? Would nothing hinder their journey forward at all? Rin didn't know, and that was the best part of it all. This was an adventure! They were a Pokémon Trainer! This was everything they've ever dreamed of.

@Metamore

Rin walked through the hills for quite a while without seeing any Pokemon. No doubt some Senrets were lurking around in hiding though. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky with the town visible in the distance, that Run saw a Pokemon. It was a Phanpy.

The little creature came walking out from behind a rock. Boom, trainer and wild Pokemon made eye contact. Phanpy did his best to pretend this didn't happen however. He slowly, carefully walked backward behind the safety of his rock. Maybe if he was lucky, the trainer would just keep moving. He closed his eyes and pretended he was invisible.

This careful Phanpy is at level 17.

Liz walked through the woods, the sun was getting low once again. She chanced upon a lake, it was a massive party zone. She wondered what was with this town, everyone being drunk all the time, it was increasingly fustrating. As she walked by she heard a whistle in the air, she looked over and saw a little boy on the verge of tears with a Sableye. She walked over and sat next to him.

"Hey sweetie what's wrong??" She asked him.

@Cerces22

The little boy did his best to restrain his tears when Liz walked up to him. "It's that stupid Sableye. I caught him three days ago, but he doesn't listen to a word I say. He ran away from me while we were training. I've been chasing him for two days trying to get him back in his Pokeball so we can go home. And now... now I'm lost."

The boy's speech was delivered to the ground, not even bothering to raise his eyes. Sableye's back stayed against the tree that the two of them shared. He was having a good ole time, silently copying the boy's body movements as he spoke, in an exaggerated manner of course.

How is Liz going to help the sad boy and his impish Sableye?
Also, FYI, Sableye was only MIME whistling... he doesn't have lips. Liz wouldn't have heard him.

Pokemon: Prime

I know you said Anu leveled up, but it's not listed under my Trainer Tab.
Also, quick questions: If I ever did use Rage (which Anu learned last level) or other removes like Power-Up Punch would those have any effect in this RP? Likewise, how would multi-hit attacks function?

@Metamore

We can do this...

From now on (i.e. what's done is done) moves that are purely designed to lower or raise a stat will gain a 50% boost on their roll (on top of STAB boosts and weaknesses), BUT if they are successful, they won't raise or lower anyone's Power level the turn they are used. Instead, they are tacked on to the next roll's result, but only if the next roll's result is favorable.

They only effect the next roll. They cannot be combined. So using two stat moves in a row is pointless.

Does that all make sense?

Pokemon: Prime

"Tota . . .", Anusobeket sounded just as discouraged. However the two snapped back up so fast it made Gerseti question if they'd prepared this reaction or if the the headstrong duo really were that in sync. Their personalities surely were.

"No matter! We may not be taking you with us, but we sure as heck will be taking you down!" With a dramatic point of their finger, which Gerseti was begining to think was the trainer's signature, Anusobeket fell from her place in Rin's arms and landed with a fierce glare at the wild pokémon. Gerseti could only back up further. This was looking a little too familiar. "Teach that Fire Type a lesson in manners! Use Water Gun!" And with that, the Big Jaw Pokémon opened wide with a harsh torrent of water.

@Metamore

A torrent of water launched out of Totodile's mouth, straight for the opponent, but unfortunately, the Larvesta was quick. With a flutter of his insect wings, he avoided the attack and released a String Shot. The sticky substance landed firmly on Totodile's face, blinding her. But it didn't stop there, the string just kept coming. In a matter of moments, poor Anu was covered head to toe in the sticky substance. She was immobilized.

Satisfied with his revenge, the Larvesta flew away.

Result: Larvesta's Revenge

Unfortunately, Any looses 16 Power (more than she has). She is unable to battle and the Larvesta escapes. At least she gains another level.

"There is not, I thank you. And hey you, kid I battled can't always keep your head buried in a book. Take it from me, you will only learn so much from them, I was the same way, but there is so much to learn on the road that a book can't teach." With that Liz left, she made a stop at the Pokemon center to take care of her defeated friends. Soon enough she was on route 8, she checked her dex to see if Rin messaged her, maybe at the next town she will call and see if they are ok...

@Cerces22

Liz walked through the forest for a while, until she came upon a lake. The sun was getting low in the sky at this point, and the lake, well it seemed to be nothing more than an extension of Nasi Town. People were drinking and having a great time on their boats. It was all rather unremarkable considering all that Liz had seen today.

There was one unique sight though, a rather sad one at that. A little boy sat underneath a tree, crying. Sitting beside him was a small Sableye. The Sableye mime whistled, as if he didn't have a care in the world, completely oblivious to his trainer's sadness.

Sad Kid

A little boy is crying next to his Sableye (a level 6 Sableye). Will Liz stop to check on the boy?

Tonight, I'll be adding more info on nearby routes as well as posting.

"That's it, bud! Let's go check out those noises." While Rin, Anu, and Geri would quickly discover Cheri Berries to be the only trace left of the source of the noise, Olotah was off splashing in the shallow water and enjoying being so close to the waters they'd been drawing just yesterday. Osajyin bathed in the morning sun, and held his eyes closed, totally unaware of any possible threats that may have taken notice of his younger brother's playing. That is, if something didn't pop out his Trainer first!

@Metamore

Two Cheri Beries in hand, Rin was obviously feeling good. Their whole team seemed to be waking up nicely.

But not everyone was ready to be waking up at the crack of dawn. Up inside a tree nearby Rin, a Larvesta was getting woken up by the trainer's party. He was not happy in the least. With a serious demeanor, the Larvesta crawled down the tree trunk until he was visible. To get the trainer's attention, he shot out an Ember, which landed at Rin's feet.

Bonus Info: Please Read

Rin has woken up a level 18 Larvesta. They don't have any poke balls, but will they still battle for the experience?
