Recently: You're training for your second Elite 4 match.
General rules:
There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.
Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.
Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.
Combat involves rolls! Once there's a clear vote winner, we roll for the move accuracy/crit/secondary effect. Usually it's just three 1d100s. Sometimes you can get a modifier from circumstances, so be creative! Add flair, do tricks with moves, mess with terrain, whatever! This is not a video game.
Call me out on a mistake and receive an apology butt or suggestive picture.

Pokemon time!
You reach deep inside. Devon is running his obstacle course, picking up speed. Push! Faster!
Devon, as if hearing you, pushes harder. His lungs burn and legs ache in an oddly satisfying way.
Without realizing it, you’re running beside him. The training room you’re using isn't that large, but it’s large enough. Devon laps you, but you’re not discouraged. You’re giving it your all, and so is he.
You both feel exhausted, but you bulldoze past it.
“YEAH!” You shout. “Come on!” The rest of the world melts away.
You wake up to Devon licking your face. He’s mega-evolved and panting.
“Hey boy. How long was I out?”
He just barks. He doesn't really have a way of communicating time, or even a hard concept, but you know what he means. It hasn’t been long. You wipe your face and notice your bracelet with the little figures of your Pokemon are there.
“You’re pushing too hard,” Dark Kat tells you.
You look up. “I...I'm awake, right?”
“Yeah. So?”
“So...does this mean I'm crazy?”
“Probably. I wouldn't worry about it, though. If I were you, I’d be worried more about-”
You wave your hands. “Ah! Don’t start! No no no.”
“Fine,” she shrugs. “We’ll just leave those worries to creep up on you while you lie in bed at night.”
You get up and scratch Devon behind the ear. He seems concerned about you, but not enough to stop your scratches. There’s no immediate danger “So, what does you being here mean?”
“What do you think it means?”

Also we're closer to seeing that Dark Kat, and Kat aren't really seperate, as much as we'd like to believe anyways.

>>46041229
I'm doing ok. Trying out a "Eat less stupid food with a bunch of sugar in it" thing. Since apparently almost everything has it.

>>46041317
Got you covered senpai
>>46040980
That my latent psychic powers have finally manifest and I've accidentally projected you into the real world?
“You’re a ghost!”
She just stares are you. “What, are you retarded?”
“Woah! Robin wouldn't like that. Also, you’re me, so you know I’m joking.”
She smiles and stands over you. “Got any more?”
“Well, I was going to say that now neither of us will be virgins.”
She laughs and transforms her clothes into a nun’s habit.. “Yeah, now that’s a joke.”
You just look back at her.
“Stop getting turned on, you weirdo narcissist!” She changes back. “Be serious.”
You get up. “Fine. It means I'm more in touch with my issues, and I'm able to confront them in the real world.”
“More jokes,” she laughs into her hand.
“No, I'm serious. I've come a long way.”
“And the punchline is that you believe that. If you just keep going, you’ll get somewhere new, where you don’t have to stuff all your deep dark garbage into the recesses of your mind.”
You tune her out. “Come on Devon. We’re on a roll. Let’s keep going.”
You and Devon finish up your training before heading back. You sleep, shower, eat, and then it’s time for Robin’s match against Cliff.
As you and your friends walk her to the arena, she fidgets. She seems on edge. The faint scent of ozone and gathering clouds aren't helping.
>Infodump as much advice as you can from your match with Cliff

Now while our girlfriend is fighting, anon!
Besides, I doubt Dark Kat would be tangible anyway.

What doesn't turn Kat on? Let's be real
>>46041626
Is it really lewding when it's just Kat?
>>46041769We'll have to experiment and see.
>>46041769
more like some advanced masturbation
“Hey, why does it smell different when it rains?”
She looks up, then she smiles. “Oh! That’s simple. See, petrichor is caused by...”
You smile and nod. Robin has a bad habit of going way too far into detail about technical terms. You get the general idea though.
“And that’s what causes it!” She seems much more at ease now.
“Thanks,” you peck her on the cheek. “And good luck.”
You’re escorted away as Robin is led into the battler area. You and your friends find a spot in the rafters to watch. You chat for a bit about this and that as you wait for it to start. It sure is taking a long time.
Robin is late.
Why is she late? What’s she doing? She’s standing there, just outside the battle area, not stepping forth.
“Seems like the challenger might be delayed.”
“Chip, I’m seeing her on the camera, just outside the battle area. For some reason, she’s not stepping in.”
Clair sits back and smiles. “Crafty dyke.”
You’ve come a long way, feel like you really know your stuff, but you don’t understand. Is it nerves? She looks okay.
“What’s she doing?” You cave to Clair.
“Stalling.”
“But why would she-” Jeanine pauses. “...The humidity!”
You all look up. The clouds are in that iffy grey area. There’s no worry about rain now, but it could turn.
“So she’s delaying so she can get rain?” Vance keeps his head up.
“She could just use Rain Dance, but she’s not taking any chances. If it’s already raining out, her Rain Dance will have an advantage.”
(continued)
>>46041831
That makes sense. Cliff is in the Elite Four. He’s probably built a strategy around keeping his sandstorm up. Robin needs all the help she can get. She’s smart, she’s crafty, she’s fast, mentally but she’s not strong. You've been around long enough to know Pokemon take some trains from their trainers.
Still. A Pokemon battle is supposed to be about the bonds between trainer and Pokemon being tested against each other, right? A small part of you feels like trying to win just by rules instead of keeping with the spirit of the competition is maybe missing the point, isn't it?
“I don’t like it,” Vance says. “I know she needs to do everything to win, but it feels dishonest. What’s the point of a victory you can’t repeat?”
“It’s smart thinking,” Clair says. “Robin can’t depend on just brute forcing her way though.” Clair teases you. Her tone makes it clear she’s not seriously putting you down.”
Jeanine hasn't made up her mind. “What do you think, Kat?”
>Everyone has their own style. You won’t judge either way

>Everyone has their own style. You won’t judge either way
>>46041896
>>Everyone has their own style. You won’t judge either way
My constant status effect spam and buffing/debuffing the enemy could be seen as "cheap" be some too. What matters in the end is winning with the pokemon you have, and no one getting hurt.

>>Everyone has their own style. You won’t judge either way

>You think Robin’s missing the point of Pokemon battles
Taking advantage of a situation arising is one thing, engineering it like this dosen't feel right. Is it any different than waiting until someones Pokemon are sick or exhausted before battling them?"
>>46041896
>Pokemon battles aren't just testing the bond between trainer and pokemon - they're also supposed to test each on their own. A pokemon who just isn't strong enough; a trainer that cracks under pressure. If it wasn't raining, Robin would use another strategy, pick at another seemingly inconsequential circumstance until it turned in her favor. This is just using her own strength.
>>46041896
>Something else
One strategy might not be repeatable, but she's shown she can always find a new strategy or tactic to fit every fight. That's why she's a good trainer.
>...Pokemon take some trains from their trainers.
You know what this means.

>Robin can't do anything wrong. She's Robin.

I hope you understand we shouldn't judge Violet now. Thank you for that realization anons.
>>46041896
>Everyone has their own style. You won’t judge either way
>>46042020
Anons don't (mostly) judge Violet for what she does in a Pokemon duel, anon. It's all the other stuff that grinds our gears.
>>46042020
No one has a problem with how she battles, it's that she treats people like shit because they're not as important as pokemon to her.
>>46042020
For her battle style? We don't. For being a bitchy evil witch who's a poor excuse for a human being and mother? Judgmental as fuck.
>>46042020
Oh, we can judge Violet *plenty*.
>>46042084
I want to judge her in the bedroom.Or she could judge Kat. I'd be fine with that.
>>46041974
Inb4 the arena has a motorized roof like a sports stadium.
>>46042112
Sexy judging?
>>46042114
Then that's how the cookie crumbles!
>>46042112
Bad anon, keep that in the smutbins!
>>46041896
>You think Robin’s missing the point of Pokemon battles
>>46042139
Or Judging sexily. Both are fine.To be totally honest though Clair and her abilities are the hottest thing since the fucking sun.
>>46041987
[If this is a repeat I have a handful more new ones]
>>46042229
Poor Gobble is running out of apology-butts!
>>46042252
>>46042229
It's new and acceptablePastebin when?
>>46042269
Oh my, that's a really nice one.
“Everyone has their own style. I can’t really judge.”
“Wuss answer,” Clair smugly looks down at you, folding her arms.
“What! I’m agreeing with you.”
“Yeah,” she says. “And that’s why I’m calling you a wuss.”
“I mean, I’m always spamming status effects, and Robin is a smart trainer that takes advantage of anything she can. If it weren’t rain, it’d be something else. Some trainers lead by being loud and giving confidence. Robin leads by giving her Pokemon the best path forward that she can think of.”
Before you can retort, Jeanine puts Clair in a headlock. “Can’t you be nice?”
Clair struggles and muffles. Jeanine slackens her grip so she can talk. “Can’t you figure out deodorant?”
Jeanine lets her out and smells herself self-consciously. “What? I don’t smell.”
Clair sticks her tongue out. Jeanine goes to grapple her again. Vance just tries his best not to get in the middle of it. You can’t help but laugh.
“Looks like the judges are going to penalize her if she doesn’t take the field, Chip.”
Robin finally steps forward. The crowd goes from chatting to cheering. The match is on.
The ref explains the rules. Like anyone needs to hear them. Then the it’s time to throw out.
(continued)
>>46042420
What an indecent grope!
>>46042420
Robin looks up to the sky, and does nothing.
Cliff’s first Pokemon is already out. It’s Hippodon. Robin waits the timer down to the last second and throws in Joltik. She uses Sticky Web, Hippodon uses dig. Robin uses Disable, and Hippodon comes back to the surface looking miffed.
The sandstorm rages, but the edges of it fly off a bit as the natural winds pick up.
Cliff takes another approach and has Hippodon trap Joltik with Sand Tomb.
“Looks like Cliff is trying to keep Joltik in the arena.”
Cliff switches Pokemon, not fearing any major damage from Joltik, and has Marowak use Belly Drum. After that, he uses Substitute, the Focus Energy.
Robin’s Joltik uses Giga Drain over and over in vain. Marowak’s surprisingly impressive special defences and Substitute allow it to take her attacks without too much worry. She finally takes down its substitute while Marowak stops buffing itself and goes on the offensive. It charges with Double Edge.
Robin uses Gastro Acid, eliminating his Ability, Rock Head. Marowak collides with Joltik and both Pokemon go down.
“An amazing last second maneuver by the challenger.”
“Indeed, Chip, but that only let’s her stay even with Cliff.”
There are a lot of things going on in this battle, and there are only so many things you can really pay attention to in detail.
>Focus on learning Robin’s Pokemon’s moves in detail. Some of your own moves have small twists, hers might too.

Ain't nothing saying it has to be the productive kind of focus.

>>46042489
>Focus on any quirks or habit with Robin’s Pokemon, which direction they favor when dodging, tells, etc.
The way this vote is structured heavily favors the "cheer" option since observing her has 3 options to split votes. Thats why I changed mine to what was being pick more often.

Okay. I'm all caught up and no what's going on now. Kind of surprised you haven't stomped Hornbeam yet, that guy is going to be a real problem.
And have we arranged transport for the Slowpoke\bro\king yet?
>>46043127
[Oh yeah. Sorry. Transport is underway.]
>>46043127
It'll come, anon. Probably.
>>46043215
Wasn't pointing out an error, just asking a question.
Also, kudos on running such an awesome quest for over two years.
Any plans on starting over with a new character and journey once this finishes?
Robin sends out Gyarados against Cliff’s Hippodon. The rain starts dripping down softly, but his Sandstorm keeps it from wetting the ground.
You split your focus. You spend the first half of the match watching Robin and her Pokemon as close as possible.
You pay close attention to Robin’s body language as she commands. The way she moves her arms when commanding. She points when going on the offensive, and almost tries to pull her Pokemon back when going on the defensive.
But the thing you notice most of all is her hips. That’s the giveaway. When she has a plan, she sticks her hips out to the side. It really makes her shorts look tight. And look at the subtle arch in her back. You bite your lip.
Jeanine elbows you by accident as she cheers. Robin wasn't using Gyarados at all! It was Zoroark. And in the time it took Cliff to land a solid blow, she had gained the upper hand. Once again, both Pokemon go down.
You keep a closer eye on her Pokemon, now. Zoroark and Ditto have the potentially to really mess things up for her opponents, but it’s ehr Gyarados that you want to learn more about.
Using Rain Dance and Dragon Dance, he’s able to make huge headway against Cliff. You spend a good while watching it closely. However, the arena’s automatic roof starts covering the arena and blocking the excessive rain to keep the audience dry. Gyarados can only do so much. Cliff uses Toxic and several rock moves to bring it down.
(continued)
>>46043366
Robin looks shaken.
Stomp stomp clap. Stomp stomp clap. “Come on, Robin!” You start a cheer. Your friends join in, then much of the crowd follows.
Robin shifts her weight to one side on her hip, and throws out Sylveon.
You haven’t quite pinned down Gyarados’ ability yet, but you feel you've gotten to know it and Sylveon’s patterns a bit more. Robin’s Pokemon all seem to have similar tendencies. She avoids committing fully until it’s time to spring a trap unless she’s stalling. They all always have an avenue of escape and a way to leap back if things go wrong. You could take advantage of that if you can just watch it a bit more.
“And that’s the match!”
Holy crap! It is! Robin won, having lost 3 Pokemon total.
You all rush down to congratulate her. She just finishes shaking Cliff’s hand.
“Well, I just can’t wait to see what you do next. I haven’t felt a rush like that in some time.”
“W-what about your match with Kat?”
He gives you a nod. “That good. But this was much more my kind of battle. I think you’ll both go far.” He heads off.
Robin’s shaking from the excitement. The crowds are still roaring.
You look up and see the promotional graphic already talking about her upcoming battle with Emma. Yours too. You have three full days.
>Come on, let’s train!
>Come on, let’s celebrate!

If we're the most annoying trainer to fight going, Robin can't be far behind.

Geez Kat, stop being so lewd.
>>46043399
>Come on, let’s celebrate!
Gotta allow ourselves to soak in the wins too and not just focus on the final boss. That could get exhausting!
>>46043274
[Thanks. I have a few ideas. I was both considering a "next generation" depending on how this ends, or just a completely unrelated Pokemon journey in an entirely different region.
I also have a few other quest ideas. Maybe I'll put them to a vote when this is all over. We've still got a lot to do here yet, though.]

I believe that may be physically impossible for her.
>>46043456

Can you mention some of them? Just to know a little more about your tastes.
>>46043456
I want at least a few threads with older Kat and Robin.And then the next gen involving a new protag up against champion kat or robin.
>>46043480
This is why Kat is amazing.

How did you acquire a drawing of me, anon?!
>>46043456
I'll look forward to whatever else you do, but it'll be sad saying goodbye to the gang, that's for sure! Hopefully it'll be a while yet.
>>46043456
I think I'll keep an eye out for that.
If it comes to a vote, put me down in advance for a new region.
And a Ralts starter. Need to show the world the Gardevoir line is awesome and doens't deserve to be fap fuel sometime.
>>46043399
>Come on, let’s train!
"We can party like it's the year 2000 after the E4 to make up for lost time."
>>46043582
I'd rather stay in this region so we can see champion kat/robin....
>>46043411
Robin might be taking the most annoying throne at this rate.
>>46043456
WORLD. TOURNAMENT.
>>46043677
Could do. At the same time, that would mean we'd have to fight them at some point, provided they won.
Can you really honestly say you want to fight a team like the one we've put together?
>>46043730
I'm a masochist so yes.
>>46043737
That explains it.
>>46043488
[Well, besides the Pokemon stuff, I was considering a Mutants and Masterminds inspired superhero campaign. You'd basically be the rookie to the Freedom League and have to learn the ropes and save the day.
The other idea was playing as an adventurer is a very stereotypical fantasy land. You and your team would dungeon dive, scout, clear trade routes, deliver packages, etc. Whatever pays the bar tab. The player would be a relative blank slate where you grow your fightan'/magican'/skillan' abilities and gain notoriety.
The other idea was a Star Trek campaign where you command a vessel on the reaches of known space. Diplomacy, anomalies, away missions,broken holodecks, corrupt admirals,and all the other typical trek stuff.]
>>46043772
Sounds like lots of potential, and pretty open-ended each of them. Not all to my taste but probably fun regardless.
>>46043772
>Mutants and Masterminds inspired superhero campaign. You'd basically be the rookie to the Freedom League and have to learn the ropes and save the day.
Not to discourage you or anything but it kind of has been done before - see Hero Quest Rena.
>>46043399
That Gardevoir is adorable.
>>46043772
Pokemon must never end.
Kidding
>>46043772
I gotta admit I have a weakness for fantasy adventuringespecially if it still includes /u/, now with delicious elfs, catgirls or whatever cute/sexy non-human race you prefer.
Still, as one anon mentioned, a second Pokemon quest in another region culminating in a World Tournament would be pretty fucking rad.
>>46043836
Well, Gobble might have a very different take on the idea.
>>46043847
That's why every sequel starts out with a new character though.
>>46043772
The star trek one and the super hero one sound cool. How good is your Trek Lore?
>>46043772
I feel like Mutants and Masterminds is a pretty neat campaign setting, so I'd like that.
But honestly all three sound good.
>>46043836
Rena was a pretty unique take on it, I don't think he'd be in much danger of treading the same ground.
Though a NPC hero who's skilled at talking villains down and throwing rocks would be a funny shout out.
>>46043687
We have kinda move into a power type of strategy with most of our mons. I feel like our next fight might be the return of the Status Effect Queen since we aren't really in a great position typing-wise against ice.
>>46043772
i'm a sucker for fantasy
>>46043772
I do like me some stereotypical fantasy. I feel like the superhero thing could be cool too, but I'd be lying if I knew or was interested much in Star Trek.
>>46043456
>unrelated Pokemon journey
I dig though I hope we are male for that one, just to change things up.
>>46043918
Probably yeah.
>>46043912
Rena was also set in the One-Punch Man world (...kind of). So, M&M would probably be rather different.
Personally, I'm a complete sucker for stereotypical fantasy. Though, honestly, I'll probably follow Gobble whatever the next quest is.

Unicorns aren't gay, dude. They've got fucking built-in lances sticking out of their skulls, that's actually pretty badass.
>>46044066
Have you ever considered what's the use of those outside of combat?
>>46044083
No appropriate use. They're built to do WAR, you wouldn't fuck around with a Stinger missile unless there's something really wrong with you.
>>46044125
I dunno anon, some people on /k/ would probably try...
You walk her back to the healing centre.
“Celebrations, then training?” You point to Robin. She agrees. Clair, Jeanine, Vance. They all give the affirmative.
“Alright!”
Robin gets her Pokemon healed up quickly at the Pokemon center. You go over a few ways to pamper your Pokemon. They’ve all earned a lot of praise.
“Robin,” you hear a familiar voice. Your friends all turn to see Violet. She’s wearing her usual large sunglasses and oversized hat to avoid public attention.
“B-b-b-b-” Robin begins to stutter.
Violet simply looks down at her and continues. “You won! I’m surprised. Of course, you didn’t do quite as well as Kat, and Cliff is hardly a skilled trainer, but you-”
“B-b-blow it out your ass!” Robin says with a smile on her face.
Everyone is at a loss for words. Everyone except for Robin. “My Pokemon and I worked hard. Cliff too! I’m not letting you taint that.”
Robin turns around and walks away. She looks lighter than you’ve ever seen her.
Violet finally looks like she doesn’t know what to do or say.

>>46044169
>YEAH!
>Just follow Robin
>>46044336
Robin already left. We're shrugging at Violet.
kinda leaving it between them. It's all about Robin standing up to her and not us influencing it.
>>46044169

It seems I accidentally'd a lewd.
You shrug to Violet. Your simple response seems to dig at her even more as she struggles to find a way to turn this around.
But you’re already gone. You follow Robin, and everyone else follows you.
As you turn the corner, Robin dives into the washrooms, leans over a toilet, and dry heaves. You hold back the small bits of hair that are long enough to touch her face, then help her get out of there before too many people pay her mind. She holds her stomach, having failed to launch anything out of it.
“F-first, we get minty green bubble tea, then back to our place, then we play with out Pokemon, and then we train, okay?”
Robin can’t seem to stop. She’s on fire today.
“Sounds good.”
You do exactly what she said. She declines anyone’s offer to talk about it. “I wanted to do that for a long time,” she tells you. “I know I shouldn’t feel so good about it, but I realized that my Pokemon and I don’t need her approval. We just need each other. If she wants to talk straight, she can talk instead of...you know, what she does.”
You guess everyone has their limits.
After some fun times playing with your Pokemon, sneaking a few kisses and held hands, and play wrestling with your Pokemon, the party has to end.
“Alright,” Vance says. You guys still have three more Elite Four battles to go. We need to train for Emma.”
“Yes sir, coach,” You stand on the couch and lean on his shoulder.
Robin nods. She looks determined, but also more back to normal. The adrenaline is gone.

Is it worth the risk of borrowing Vance's Machamp?

Nah we'll be fine
>>46044734
>Train all your Pokemon equally
>>46044734
>Decide on a team, then train them
>>46044734
Darn, it's too late to say Train each other.
We've spent so long training individually, it would really help to get different points of view on our styles. So we (Kat & Robin) could train Kat's way in the morning, and Robin's way in the afternoon.
She can up her power, and we can improve our technique.
>>46044850
Figured it was worth asking about, considering how well Sneasel did.
So, Devon is in.
Aria is a good idea.
Zappy Dan is probably a good idea just in case of Articuno.
Destiny might be worth the risk.
After that, maybe Raistlin.
And lastly, I'm tossing up between Levi and Nibbles.
They're both gambles, but they've both got BS attack.
>>46045015
Levi's less of a risk if we mega. If.
I dunno.
>>46045015
Zappy is steel, steel is super effective on ice types.
Also Nibbles can set up stealth rocks, which is huge.
>>46045015
Nibbles has stealth rock
You'll put a team together and train it specifically for her. It worked for Cliff and should work here too.
Ice is a tricky type for you. A lot of your Pokemon are weak to it. Going just by type, your team for this battle is obvious.
Devon (Houndoom)
Aria (Meloetta)
Leviathan (Gyarados)
Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
Destiny (Kingdra)
Raistlin (Alakazam)
Her team, from what your and your team's research shows, is:
Glaceon
Lapras
Mamoswine
Abomasnow
Avalugg
Froslass
And maybe Articuno.
But maybe you’d be better off swapping someone out. Nibbles for example, has Stealth Rock and a higher than average Special Defence. Trunks has his special move and Destiny Bond if you’re in a pinch. Vlad is fantastic at disrupting and taunting if she’s planning on doing something complicated. She’d never expect Oberon. Fel’s powders might turn the tide where raw power would fail.

Destiny

Destiny
She will probably have Freeze-Dry to cover Water types
It would take Destiny out quickly
>>46045145
More like instantly if she can't dodge it.
>>46045145
Good point. Backing this
>>46045106
>Swap someone for Nibbles
Desinty
>>46045106
>Swap someone for Nibbles
Good point on Destiny, so we can have both our physical attackers in the party and teach them fire and fighting moves.
(Flamethrower for Levi, Brick Break for Nibbles)
>>46045282
We need to teach him stone edge, super effective and stab
>>46045106
>Swap someone for Nibbles
Destiny
>>46045308
That would be the better option.
You decide that Nibbles would be a better choice in this match over Destiny, and make the swap. You’ll have half a day for each Pokemon on your team, which is plenty, by your reckoning.
Devon (Houndoom)
Aria (Meloetta)
Leviathan (Gyarados)
Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
Nibbles (Tyrantrum)
Raistlin (Alakazam)
First up is Devon.

Or maybe try and figure out what Devon was bred for?

It was Dark Pulse, wasn't it?
>>46045431
>Work on stats
Special Attack
>>46045458
We won't need a poison attack until /maybe/ the champion, since the only thing it's really useful for is against the three fairy-types that resist fire attacks.
“Special attack training! You know what to do!”
Devon indeed does. He’s used to this. You’ve been training his Special Attack since you’ve first met, and it’s paid off. He’s very eager to blow away targets.
Thanks to your focus on Special Attack, Devon’s more powerful and precise than ever.
Next is Aria.

It was counter
>>46045631
>Work on a quick version of Relic song that does no damage, but transforms instantly
Best possible utility, gives us a turn to do something else.
>>46045639
>>46045646
We just trained her how to do more damage with sound based attacks, this is taking away from that.
>>46045631
>Thunderwave
>>46045631
>Work on a quick version of Relic song that does no damage, but transforms instantly
By the way, we should really teach Devon fire blast when we get a chance, maybe with some accuracy training as well.
Gobble this Relic soong option makes no sense, relic song already transforms when you use it automatically.
>>46045631
>Thunderwave
>>46045698
It would let us sing and go straight into a fighting-type move on the same turn.
>>46045698
[It would be an option to do it instantly while you choose another move, like how mega-evolution works.]
>>46045717
>>46045718
Thanks, i still don't see the point though. Especially after we buffed her damage with sound attacks.
>>46045631
>Thunderwave
>>46045631
>Work on a quick version of Relic song that does no damage, but transforms instantly
>>46045631
>>Thunderwave
>>46045742
Relic song seems to do pretty good damage, but probably not as much as a fighting type move would do against something weak to fighting, like ice. It gives us more options in a fight.
>>46045903
Does Aria know Brick Break?
>>46045903
We just buffed the damage, it has stab, and it can put them to sleep.
I don't see a real reason to train it for this fight, thunderwave is better in this particular situation.
>>46045631
>>Work on a quick version of Relic song that does no damage, but transforms instantly
>>46045919
Nope, she has low-kick drain punch and close combat though.
>>46045919
Okay just checked and no. We get a chance, we should teach her that.
Abomasnow at least knows Protect.
>>46045929
It'll allow us to surprise opponents, dodge supereffective moves, and pull of super effective moves that w shouldnt otherwise be able too.
>>46045953
Brick break doesn't go through protect.
>>46045978
I guess it's kind of obvious I don't usually use it then?
“Alright, Aria, we’re going to work on something new.’
She perks up. She’s ready for a new song, more fighting moves, and to be just as strong as a legendary is expected to be.
“Sometimes power isn’t everything. Fel’s a great example. He’s not as strong as the rest of you, but he’s got enough status moves that I’m confident he could hold his own. Status effects are a great way to get an advantage on your foe.”
Aria seems moved by your reasoning, and eagerly follows your training. She keeps doing it too hard though. Instead of a wide, paralyzing attack, she makes quick zaps and powerful blasts. Eventually she gets the hang of it though.
Levi is next. She roars, but it’s more of a casual announcement of her arrival than her old aggressive approach. She curls around you playfully. Well, as playfully as she gets, anyway.

>>46046023
Eh-hem:
Gobble is kill.
>>46046151
Doesn't that work anymore?
The answer for Levi is simple. Stone Edge.
For her training, you go over the video from Robin’s match. Her Gyarados ended up taking a few Rock type attacks. Levi gets a good understanding from watching another Gyarados get hit. She sees exactly how it can knock her around, and so she learns how to make it effective.
Levi can be pretty smart, when she focuses and isn’t trying to prove anything. You think Oberon has been a good influence on her. That, and Nibbles looking up to her makes her feel like she has to be more responsible. She learns Stone Edge well.
It’s Zappy Dan’s turn. He hasn’t had a chance to shine in awhile. Of course, he doesn’t seem to mind. He’s just content to float there, minding his own business and thinking about whatever he likes to think about.
