[WIN] Central Processing (Normal) - Eternal Drifter + Glacier Knight

[Its_A_Random]

ROUND EIGHT​

Realising that their vitality is starting to run a bit thin, the raid becomes liberal in supporting while dealing some chip damage to the Metagross here and there. The Metagross shrugs off whatever attack came its way and recklessly rams into the Houndoom for some damage, before shrugging off more hits to then knock some sense into the Houndoom with a jarring punch that makes the Houndoom look drunk. The Houndoom looks bruised and tired as well, the Delphox is levitating, the Gallade looks tired, and the Rotom looks fairly healthy. One can wonder how much more this raid can take against the relentless Metagross who has cured itself of any debuff it has.

ROUND NINE​

As soon as the Rotom jolts the Metagross with a bolt of lightning, the CPU's voice echoes once more:

COMMENCING ALTERNATIVE MEASURES.

The Metagross pounds the ground four times and while the Delphox and Rotom did not mind, the Houndoom and Gallade did and when the tremors die down, the Houndoom can be seen on the floor and unable to get up! The CPU seems to be satisfied with this:

HOSTILE SUBJECT NEUTRALISED. SITUATION SCAN IN PROGRESS.

With one Pokémon down, the remaining members cripple the Metagross and take a rest before the Rotom strikes the Metagross with a wicked curse. The Metagross then rams into the Delphox while the Delphox and the Gallade take a rest. With one of their members down, this fight has just got a lot harder for the tiring members...

[Eternal Drifter]

By a couple quick calculations, Role Play should wear out after the next Hammer Drop... just in time for Blaze to kick in. We're running out of time, and out of firepower to beat the clock.

Action 2: Flamethrower (Metagross)

ROUND TEN​

The Rotom, battling tiredness, jolts the Metagross with a blast of electricity and paralyses the metallic behemoth, who seems more interested in recklessly ramming the Delphox. The Delphox invests the Metagross in powerful flames in retaliation while the Gallade heals up the Delphox. The Rotom and the Delphox then continue to batter the Metagross with attacks while the Gallade rests up. Not so soon as the Metagross whacks the Delphox with a solid hit, you notice some liquid from above make contact with the computer! This does not bode well for the system as you hear the CPU's voice reverberate around the room once more:

MALICIOUS SUBSTANCES DETECTED. EMERGENCY PROTOCOL INITIALISED. THIS CPU WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE ROUNDS TIME.

From the looks of things, the raid has plenty of time to get the job done, but they are being increasingly battered and/or tired. Will they make it?

Gallade: Heal Pulse (Delphox)~Chill

Eternal Drifter, we need to keep the damage coming, so all out attack with delphox until you are on the edge of ENKO? I will heal you as much as I can

 

[Eternal Drifter]

Delphox:
Action 1: Fire Blast
Action 2: Flamethrower

Next turn, I'm planning on Fire Blast - Blast Burn to make the most use of the Sun.

Assuming no crits, Fire Blast doesn't burn next round, and you keep Blaze from activating...

Thunderbolt: 18
Fire Blast: 26 (44)
Burn: 2 (46)
Flamethrower: 23 (69)
Burn (End): 2 (71)

Fire Blast: 26 (97)
Blast Burn: 31.5 (128.5)

That will leave us with about 112 to cut through in 3 rounds, less if you use attacking moves next round. At that point, however, I will become close to dead-weight, other than encouraging Metagross to finish Delphox off to distract it from your Pokemon.

ROUND ELEVEN​

Realising the need to continue attacking, the Rotom and the Delphox continue to damage the Metagross while the Gallade heals up the Delphox, only for the CPU to echo once more:

CALCULATING FORCE PARAMETERS.

The Metagross pounds the ground three times and while the Delphox and the Gallade did not mind, the Rotom is thrown around like a scrabble tile through all the pounding. The Rotom and Gallade then rest up as the Delphox continues to pound away with fiery assaults as the Metagross wallops the now grounded Delphox with a powerful whack. There is not much rest though as while the Metagross recovers from its burn once more, you can hear the voice of the CPU reverberate around the room once more:

THIS CPU WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN FOUR ROUNDS TIME.

[Eternal Drifter]

Go out, Delphox! Go out in a blaze of glory!

Rakka the Delphox:
Action 1: Fire Blast
Action 2: Blast Burn

This should bring Metagross down to 107 health, assuming there are no crits and you don't heal Delphox action 1 (accounting for Blaze). However, it will also leave Delphox in low single-digit energy (6). The sun will end this round, and I am not going to be able to put it back up. I recommend that Gallade uses Fire Punch at least once during the round to make use of the sun while it is still around, putting Metagross into double digits in regards to health (89). Another Thunderbolt from Rotom brings it down to about 71 to go in three rounds. If you go all-out attacking this round, Gallade using Night Slash cuts off another 12 (59) and Rotom using Shock Wave cuts out 15 more (44).

Assuming Delphox gets KOed at the end of this round or the beginning of next (due to Hammer Drop), if this plan is followed, Rotom just needs to repeat Thunderbolt and Shock Wave (33 damage, EN KOing Rotom) and Gallade uses Fire Punch then to finish the Metagross off.

Delphox is not going to be any more use in this fight after this round, except as a punching bag. I might be able to squeak in one more attack at the beginning of next round (Ember or Mystical Fire, depending on whether or not Fire Blast or Fire Punch burn), but after this round, it will be up to you.

In short: thank you for the heals, but NOW is the time to attack!

ROUND TWELVE​

Realising more than ever the need to go all out, the Delphox, Gallade, and Rotom all go on an assault, dealing sizable damage to the Metagross through a flurry of fiery and electrical assaults. The Metagross retaliates by belly flopping the Delphox and much to the dismay of his teammates, has the wind knocked out of it and cannot move really fast at all. The Rotom and Gallade continue with their assaults, but the stolid—but rapidly glitching—Metagross continues the assault, hammering the ground and creating a tremor that the Rotom does not mind, but the Gallade and Delphox were hammered and to make matters worse, Rakka collapses and is down for the count!

THREAT AVERTED. ALTERNATIVE COURSE CONFIRMED.

The CPU's voice echoes in delight as the Delphox is not to go out in a blaze of glory unlike what Eternal Drifter had hoped. The Metagross is still healthy enough to prove troublesome and it is all up to Glacier Knight to finish off the job! To make matters worse though, the CPU's voice echoes once more as the sun goes out and the Metagross overcomes its paralysis again:

THIS CPU WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN THREE ROUNDS TIME.

Looks like time might soon run out for our remaining protagonists if they are not careful!

[Eternal Drifter]

Fire Punch should be doing a tad more damage each strike (for .75 more each, or 1.5 total); ranks deal 1.5 * the rank and reduce by *1.5 the rank, if I recall correctly.

IAR EDIT: Rank Differences for anything above 6 is +1 per, so in this case, 7 vs. 6 = 1 for Rank Difference. The raid calcs are correct and have been for ages at any rate.

...I did NOT see that paralysis in my calculations.

I THINK you still can pull this through. Let me run a couple calculations...

Gallade: Night Slash (12 Damage, 5 Energy) - Fire Punch (13.5 Damage, 6 Energy)
Rotom: Thunderbolt (18 Damage, 6 Energy) - Chill

(43.5 Damage Total)

Gallade gets hit twice this next round, but it shouldn't knock Gallade out yet. Meanwhile Rotom gets a chance to fire another bolt of electricity and chill. Hammer Drop will hit Gallade.

Gallade: (Bait) (Shadow Sneak? (7.5 Damage, 4 Energy))
Rotom: Thunderbolt (18 Damage, 6 Energy) - Shock Wave (15 Damage, 3 Energy)

(33-40.5 Damage Total; KO)

(Rotom has 6 Energy Left)

Here, if Gallade is still around, he should strike one last time with Shadow Sneak before being taken out himself. Meanwhile, Rotom fires off a pair of attacks, leaving energy to spare. IF it goes well, the energy left shouldn't matter, but the Body Slam blindsided me, so this gives a buffer. Besides, I'm sure Rotom can take a pair of attacks here.

Rotom: Volt Switch (15.5 Damage, 4 Energy) - Thunderbolt (18 Damage, EN KO)

(33.5 Damage)

The final round, only in case things go wrong. I've maximized damage in the last two actions, so that you have the best chance of defeating Metagross. Hammer Drop will occur here, but it won't matter, and regardless of damage, I'm sure Rotom can take a third attack just enough to inflict one last bit of damage.

If you have a better idea, go ahead and do it, but for now, this is the plan that works in my mind.

ROUND THIRTEEN​

With team members and firepower dropping like flies, the Rotom zaps the Metagross with a jolt of electricity, who then retaliates by banging the ground three times to the CPU's voice:

COMMENCING ALTERNATIVE MEASURES.

The Gallade is damaged, one hit critically, but the Rotom is unaffected as the Gallade slows even further. The Gallade reacts by slashing the Metagross with a dark attack, as the Rotom takes another break. The Metagross headbutts the Gallade in response, who then proceeds to whack it with a fist of fire. Still, the glitching Metagross stands, as the CPU's voice echoes once more:

THIS CPU WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN TWO ROUNDS TIME.

Running a quick calculation... still good to go.

Gallade: Shadow Sneak - Shadow Sneak
Rotom: Thunderbolt - Shock Wave

With this moveset, Metagross should fall at the end of action 1, with additional moves ready to go and finish the job should I be wrong.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

ROUND FOURTEEN​

Spurred on by the fact that the Metagross could fall any minute now, the remaining members of the raid go all out in an attempt to dispatch the Metagross for good! All they endure is a pathetic headbutt in the path of the Gallade as the Gallade delivers the final blow to the Metagross with a rushing blow before exhausting itself into collapsing! Fearing another wave, you brace for the CPU's voice only to hear something unexpected from the CPU:

OPERATING SYSTEM UNINSTALLED. CPU SHUTTING D-O-W-N...

Suddenly everything electrical stops working and the screen goes blank! Looks like things are back to normal in the room!

For a moment you look around, unsure about whether the system finally was fixed or not, but after a moment, a reassuring "No input" shows up on the monitors. You are still worried about that strange android which managed to flee a while ago, but nevertheless Drake will be overjoyed, knowing the CPU is finally under control once again.
