"Girafa . . .?" Gerseti asked apprehensive. He didn't really have much battle experience, perfering to run away rather than engage, so he hoped that could properly restrain himself without prior practice.

"Let's go for Astonish one more time, bud. Knock its socks off," Rin added with a goading wink. Looking back between his Trainer and the Bonsly one last tims, Gerseti reared up for another attack . . .

@Metamore

Gerseti was already in close range as he prepared to try again, but it all happened so fast. The little Bonsly slid through both of Gerseti's legs on the right side with a surprising Low Kick. This swiped Gerseti off balance, sending him tumbling to the ground. He bumped his head in the fall and passed out.

The little bonsai Pokemon looked back like, "Oops!" then ran away. Under the cover of tall dry grass, he made his escape.

Result: Gerseti Goes Down

Bonus Info: Please Read

Bonsly lands a hit Girafarig. Girafarig was already off guard due to the Fake Tears. He looses 8+2=10 Power. He faints. Bonsly gets away. At least Girafarig gains a level.

DAWN OF DAY 6: ??? HOURS REMAIN.

Liz woke slowly, she quietly packed up and decided it was time to use her Rare Candy. She summoned Hephaestus and looked down at him.

"Hey buddy, got a little snack for you to eat." She handed him the candy which he gobbled quickly. He looked stronger already and excited Liz and Hephaestus left the wayward pine and excitedly took off down the path, never seeing the hidden Electrike.

@Cerces22

It was a pretty uneventful morning for Liz as she walk southward on Route 27. She passed through the trees and crossed over the hills, not a Pokemon in sight. Sure, the grass shook every now and then, but that's it. Perhaps it was too early?

Liz was now coming upon a small river with sturdy wooden bridge across it. The water was clear. Liz could see no Pokemon in the water, just rocks. On the river bank, on the other side of the bridge, there was a very special "rock". In actuality, it was a gold nugget, worth a pretty penny at the Poke Marts.

But one question remained: Would Liz notice the nugget or pass on by?

@Metamore
I've slept on the whole Stat move thing and I'm now going to make an adjustment.

Like you insinuated, stat moves themselves shouldn't get a 50% boost. They are meant to support the next move. So this is the new system for stat moves:

Stat moves no longer gain a 50% boost on their roll. Instead (if they are effective) the next roll for that Pokemon will be boosted by 50%. Also, all "damage" that a stat would do is transferred over to the next roll (if the next roll is favorable).

So basically, everything stays the same as before, except the 50% boost is pushed to the next turn, not the stat move's turn.

This will be the new system going forward. All past rolls still stand.

@Balthazar007
Oh okay, I understand the typing now.

I still don't get though why Fake Tears would be guaranteed to deal 8 Damage... wait, when you said this:
<Snipped quote>
You meant that whatever favorable roll result they get is added all added to their next move if it's favorable? So there's no modifier or anything, it's just a double attack in a way?
I don't want it to sound like I'm whining, but I am genuinely curious then why Stat moves get a bonus just for being used? I thought it was to make them sort of a gamble. Like: you can have a higher chance of winning this roll, but do you really think you can win the next roll too, and do you think it's worth risking you wasting two turns for a +50% modifier?
Either way, I'm cool with it. I think I'll definitely be using them more in the future though ;D

@Metamore

Yes, it's to make them a gamble, just like you said there. You got it.

Long, exhausting, productive day today. I'll post in the morning. :)

Pokemon: Prime

@Balthazar007
Uh... 1) Why did the Bonsly get a +100% modifier? 2) Why has Fake Tears become aN automatic 2-Hit K.O.?

WHY ARE THESE LOWER LEVEL POKÉMON STILL SUCH A CHALLENGE?

@Metamore

Your Girafarig is weak to Dark type moves. (+50%)
Fake tears is a stat effecting move (+50%)

Since Fake Tears is a stat effecting move, it will only have effect against your pokemon's power level IF Bonsly wins the next roll as well.

Questions answered?

Hey, sorry for the absence. My power had been knocked out from the weather so I hadn't been able to go online for a while

@Darkmoon Angel

Wow. That sucks. Glad to see ya. I've been slow to post for reasons much less compelling, so much respect. lol

"You're cool too, Geri, don't worry about the fight," Rin comforted the Long Neck Pokémon's increasing worry lines as he look between his Trainer and his opponent. "You don't even have to beat this little guy up, just show him how cool you are with Astonish." With an encouraging smile, Rin had a good feeling that their first fight with Gerseti would go well.

@Metamore

Girafarig did as he was told and attacked with Astonish. He charged forward make a loud uproar, designed to startle the little Bonsly.

In all honesty, Bonsly wasn't scared at all. He thought they were just playing. Nevertheless, his baby Pokemon instincts kicked in. He started making little peeps. Tear drops fell from his face. Girafarig stopped dead in his tracks, concerned. He'd fallen for Bonsly's Fake Tears: hook, line, and sinker.

Result: Poor Defenseless Creature...

Bonus Info: Please Read

Bonsly has tricked Girafarig. If Girafarig looses the next roll, his power will drop by 8. In other words, he will be defeated.

The sun was getting low and Liz knew it was about time to start looking for a camping spot. She came upon a fork in the road, and there below a sign were two prism berries. She approached semi cautious, she didn't see any trees that held prism berries, so either someone dropped it, or a mischievous pokemon left it as a trap. She picked them up and headed down route 27, Liz knew there were a couple landmarks right next to each and it was time for her to sightsee in the morning of course. She found a wayward pine, a large tree whose boughs dipped to the ground and allowing big enough room to walk around inside. She read about these in one of her text books, there weren't many but she was fortunate enough to find a secluded spot to sleep. She got inside and set up for the night, she pulled out a book to read before drifting off to sleep.

@Cerces22

As Liz took cover, a wild Electrike stood by. She hid within a nearby bush. These were her neck of the woods. She would have to keep watch over the trainer to make sure she wasn't up to no good. She would not leave the bush until the trainer left the area, presumably in the morning.

So adamantly she waited. She would let herself sleep when the trainer slept. Being a light sleeper, she would most likely wake up at any sound of the trainer waking.

Bonus Info: Please Read

Liz is being watched like a hawk by a very adamant Electrike. If she makes an sudden movements upon waking that could be mistaken as a threat, the Electrike will emerge. The Electrike is at Level 20.

@Balthazar007

Oh sorry, I wasn't aware of both types needing to be covered lol (it's an easy fix, since it can just be assumed that the pokeball refused to open due to the magnemite already being owned rather than distance)

Also, I promise my next posts won't be so beefy. I just needed to quickly introduce his personality/motives/first pokemon since he's a new character and the others are miles ahead in development

@HokumPocus

Sounds great! I need to make a post tomorrow, too.

"You know, that battle might if gone a smidge different, if you had not been filled with drink. If you keep being drunk all the time, eventually your fustrated Pidove will leave you." She turned on her heel and left before he could say anything. Liz had to get away from this booze filled place.

@Cerces22

The drunk boy heard what the girl said... but not really. "Okay, whatever!" he shouted out after her. He then turned back to go party with his friends.

Liz continued to walk. By the time she reached the forests edge, the sun was low in the sky. It would be night very soon. Just up ahead there was a fork in the road. She could either go south (down route 27) or continue straight through the second half of route 8. Right in the middle of the fork sat a berry bush, with two ripe Persim Berrys, ready for the picking.

Bonus Info: Please Read

Will Liz pick the berries? And which way will she go? I think I already know the answer to these questions, but when you 'assume'. You make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'.
