Rias Gremory (Tyrunt)

Rias Gremory, "Princess of Crimson Ruin" - Tyrunt (F)

Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk)

Type:
Rock type: Rock STAB; Rias is fast on her mind to add an additional level of Priority on Protect. She also takes reduced damage from all special attacks by two (2) Base Attack Power during Sandstorm, and is immune to Sandstorm damage. Her natural magic can mold and build rocks, ignoring Arena restrictions on Rock attacks requiring an external rock source.
Dragon type: Dragon STAB; -1 BAP on incoming neutral attacks Dragon itself would resist. Her powerful will allows Thrash or Outrage to be undisrupted by oncoming damage.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Strong Jaw
Type: Passive
Rias' thick fang and massive jaws give her incredibly powerful biting attacks, increasing the BAP of all biting attacks by three (3) BAP. Full List: Bite, Crunch, Fire Fang, Ice Fang, Poison Fang, Thunder Fang.

Ability 2: Sturdy (Hidden)
Type: Passive
Rias' body and willpower fortifies herself in battle, reducing the Base Attack Power from an opponents incoming attacks by one (1). The effect is amplified on OHKO Moves, which are reduced by ten (10) Base Attack Power.

Legit name.

@XP SHARE

First, Let's start off by using Agility to boost our speed. then, with our added speed, let's Dig some tunnels around that we can pop in and hide in case any attacks come our way. then, we're going to use Aerial ace, going for his eyes to take down his accuracy.

If he tries to Protect himself or evade your attacks when you're using Aerial ace, you should just use Agility again.
But, If he uses Dig when you're digging, then we're going to use Rock Tomb to barracade ourselves in.

This is gonna be so fun ♥

So Julianna gave me the Mareep she got from Ellie in Flocessy Ranch. Julianna also mentioned that the Ranch is currently suffering from a slightly polluted river, giving them some trouble in trying to make it suitable for drinking, so with Zheng's permission, I brought Cana here to help out as a sign of gratitude.

"Ehm, this is pretty simple, really. Just some 3-months-old sediment washed down by the recent downpour. Should be finished pretty soon."

Ellie was glad, naturally, that we could help her out. While Cana dove into the river and did her alcoholic magic, Ellie and her Mareeps watch me and Julianna battle.

"Okay Rias, let's hope we didn't blunder our way into victory this time. Julianna's Chauffage is very fast, we know that, so we can't just chase him while he runs around in circles. While he's warming up with Agility, we'll take our chances at the first hit with a Rock Slide barrage, using the rocks to force him to Dig someplace else since the soft dirt on this Ranch is much easier than the rocks you throw. Then, wait for a bit, and..... Stomp! Slam your foot on the ground as soon as you feel him coming up your way to stun him right on the head! Finally we'll go toe-to-toe with him - as he homed in for your eyes, use Dragon Claw and try to counter it. If you can't, just aim for any part of Chauffage's body - your heavier attack should be able hit harder than his."

Round 1

Action 1:
Order: Torchic, Tyrunt

Torchic used Agility
Torchic's Speed rose (+2)!
-7 Energy
Torchic energy: 93

Tyrunt used Rock Slide
Hit(5362): Yes
Crit(2520): No
Damage: (8+3+6-1.5)(3/2)=23.25
Torchic health: 66.75
-5 Energy
Tyrunt energy: 95

Action 2:
Order: Torchic, Tyrunt

Torchic dug underground

Tyrunt used Stomp
Hit(6758): Yes
Ref's Note: I would say that using Stomp in this way has a good chance of missing (I would say that a *.7 accuracy penalty seems about right), hence the accuracy roll.
Crit(5424): No
Effect(2297): Yes
Damage: (10+6-1.5)=14.5
Torchic health: 52.25
-7 Energy
Tyrunt energy: 88

Torchic flinched!


Action 3:
Order: Torchic, Tyrunt

Torchic used Aerial Ace
Hit(5638): No
Ref's Note: Aerial Ace will always hit, but aiming for the eyes seems to be a somewhat difficult task. This accuracy roll is 50% roll to see if it manages to hit Tyrunt's eyes and lower its accuracy, not to see if it hits at all.
Crit(3141): No
Damage: (6+3-4.5)(2/3)=3
Tyrunt health: 87
-4 Energy
Torchic energy: 89

Tyrunt used Dragon Claw
Ref's Note: At this point, Torchic has 130 speed while Tyrunt has 48 speed. I would argue that this speed gap is sufficient to say that Tyrunt can't intercept Torchic's Aerial Ace.
Crit(744): No
Damage: (8+3+6-1.5)=15.5
Torchic health: 36.75
-6 Energy
Tyrunt energy: 82

Lesson learned: Stomp is gay. Also Gem you should evolve Torchic because it needs to battle as a Combusken before it can evolve again into Blaziken.

It worked! I could've hugged Rias right then and there! She Stomped later than I thought was safe, but it turns out, she put her foot down right at the best moment, forcing Chauffage to Dig away emerge somewhere else instead! That was incredible timing on her part!

Under the river surface where Cana is doing her thing...

"Purreeee prrreeee!!"

"Hmm, what? ..... Oh no, this is not good. He needs air!"

"Keep it up Rias! Now use your Bite attacks to clamp down on Chauffage all the way, and don't let go!"

"If Chauffage decides to evade your attacks with Agility, then Roar a defiant challenge back at him."
"If Chauffage Digs underground to avoid your attack, then use Stealth Rock on the field wherever you think he might surface, so that he might sprang right up into the trap!"

 

[GemGem]

Alright, we'll need to stall him a bit! Dodge the first bite, then try to throw some sand in his eyes to help you avoid the second attack. This should be relatively easy with our superior speed. Follow that up with a substitute for 20 HP, to avoid damage even more.

Torchic used Sand-Attack

1 more EC 'til Combusken, Gem :)

"Yes, we did it-"

"Wait, Tanner, look at Zheng's Muk!"

"Huh?"

"Guys, look, he's drowning! He needs help!"

Bloated and trying to heave, the Ralts looked like he couldn't survive for long. Elie ran towards the farmhouse to get a Potion, while I try to pick him up. But Rias was faster than me. Before I could reach the Ralts, she closed her jaws around his slim form - tenderly, the way a Tyrantrum would close its jaws around a Tyrunt egg - and quietly held the Ralts upside down as gravity does its work letting the water drain out of his mouth, even when Rias herself is being harassed by weak telekinetic attacks due to Ralts' shocked condition.

"There there, you should be alright..."

"A Ralts! I wanna keep him!"

In his weakened state, he could not have resisted my Pokeball. Ignoring Rias' apparent distaste, I gripped it firmly, telling him his new name.

"... Yuuto Kiba. How about this name? Would you tell me your story?"
