(AB) To Defy The End: Shrine of Ruin (Starring Gale and Frosty)

The Wanderer · Oct 22, 2015

Evening gents, and welcome to another round of ASB's adventure battle series. I'm Wanderer, I'll be your DM for tonight's run, which is...Shrine of Ruin, huh? Alright then, before we get started, let's lay down some ground rules...

1) There's a DQ time of three days for you guys, and five for me. Not that anyone really cares, but I might, if this takes forever or I just feel like waving my dick around. Bow to me, peasants! BOW!
2) This campaign will be using some special mechanics that are noted in the AB general thread. You may wanna read up on them, if you haven't already.
3) In combat, you get two substitutions per round.
4) You and your pokemon get to equip items.
5) All abilities are available, except those locked or accessible only by mega evolution.
6) You can use as many recoveries or chills as you like, provided the ill wind count is not at zero, after that, you're shit out of luck.
7) No dessert until you've finished your vegetables.
8) NO MAGICAL REALMS. None of us want a repeat of the Miltank bullshit from that last campaign. God, that was disturbing.

There! Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'll need a gander at your character sheets. Gale, if you would?

Gale Wing Srock:

Roark (Male)
"Think you can disrespect my Pokémon and get away with it, did you?."

The Oreburgh City Gym Leader, Roark. Is a Trainer who decided to walk proudly with Rock-type Pokémon! But has observed that people don't give rock pokemon their due respect. So in his anger, he has set forth on an adventure to seek all evil beings in the world and bring them to justice using his Rock Pokemon. Hoping to make them see that Rock Pokemon are not only defensively strong, but offensively capable too.

Scythe of the Pale Rider?! Damn, you're packing some heat there. Unfortunately, there are no "sword moves" anymore, at least not yet, so the only moves you get are Night Slash and Pursuit. Anyway, everything checks out, so let's get started!

Side-story: The Shrine of Ruin
♫Agents of Fate

Rumors of the Shrine of Ruin have made their way to Mt Chimney in Hoenn, where the majority of the local wild Pokémon have vanished. The Cable Car comes to a stop with the two trainers sent by the growing Adventurer’s Guild of the Smogon region, to follow the advice of the Natu from beneath Mt. Coronet and find a weapon from the Shrine. However, even if the majority of the wild Pokémon in the area have gone to ground, it does not mean that all of them have...

Alright guys, this is where you both post your opening fluff. The campaign will begin proper after you do so - or a full 72 hours pass, whichever comes first.

Gale Wing Srock · Oct 22, 2015

"Now Guys, this is the place that the Natu told us about."
"Lets get rid of the evil that is plaguing this mountain, and bring justice to the pokemon that have gone to ground."

"Clefable." Thank you for keeping your promise.

Meena | Clefable (F) #Life Orb

Frosty · Oct 23, 2015

"I feel a sudden deja vu..."

"Did you come here before, boss?"

"I think yes although I can't remember when.

"And what is that Scythe you are carrying with you?"

This Scythe is a memento from a previous...complicated fight. I needed a weapon and this seemed to call to me, but maybe that is just my mind playing tricks. Maybe you should get one yourself for this ordeal."

"For the umpteenth time I sell weapons, I don't use them. Why do you insist on bringing me to battles? ;~;"

"Because I want? and because you seriously need to work on your courage."

"I need to work on my wallet, that is what I need to work. The hero you are looking for is blonde and knows like 2 different words. It ain't me boss."

"Why don't you shut your pie hole and be quiet?"

"...uh?"

"Sorry, nevermind. I must be tired. Ignore what I said please. Let's move on."

The Wanderer · Oct 25, 2015

-Mt. Chimney Summit-
♫Boiling Hot Magma

As you step out of the cable car, you are greeted by a blast of heat...even this far away from the vent, Mt. Chimney is pretty searing. Although the winds carry away the worst of it to the opposite direction, ash still clouds your vision. Although the local pokemon seem to have vanished, there's some human activity here, reasons ranging from curiosity of said disappearance, to capitalism - locals from Lavaridge still vend their wares here; mostly Lava Cookies, but you might be able to find some other sundries. Beyond the cable car, the only way down is through Jagged pass, and if that Natu from Mt. Coronet was telling the truth, there might be something in there to help you fight Itsumo.

As you consider what to do, you hear a shouting match going on near Jagged pass...

"What do you mean the road's blocked? How are we supposed to get back to Lavaridge?!"

"Look, until we can clear that landslide, it's too dangerous to be going through there. Just take the cable car!"

"Dude, the road down there's only one way, remember?"

Now that you think about it, Jagged Pass really is the only way to reach Lavaridge; You can technically climb the cliffs in route 112, but its dangerous enough that it's essentially a one-way street. Who planned the roads in this region?

WAT DO, MIGHTY TRAINERS?

Frosty · Oct 25, 2015

"We should totally obey that nice guard and stay put. Maybe sell some junk and get some money in the process?"

"Bo-ring. Let's go to route 112."

"Which part of 'dangerous' didn't you understand?"

*evil glare*

"...oh dear. You are starting to scare me, boss ._."

"Ugh. Let's at least explore it. If we find it too dangerous, we can probably back down. Although they did say it is one way..."

Frosty: Move towards Route 112
Gallade: follow Frosty. Albeit not that closely

"Yo Roark, wanna join us? Or do you have something in mind?"

Gale Wing Srock · Oct 25, 2015

"Route 112 you say? What about the Jagged Pass?"

"Cleffa?" What about it?

"Nothing, lets knock out some bad guys!"

Roark: Move towards Route 112, while walking besides Frosty and looking left, right and ahead for some activity.
Clefable: Sings along softly (while being afraid) and follows Roark (close enough to hold his arms if threatened).

The Wanderer · Oct 28, 2015

Fuck this noise. Deciding to take your chances with the cliffs, you shuffle back into the cable car.

-Route 112-
♫Rock on the Road

It's certainly greener down here, that's for sure. Cooler, too; the air is clear and crisp, and the ash is blowing toward the other end of the mountain. You can see a couple of trainers duking it out; novices, judging from the pair of Zigzagoons out.

It's high noon by the time you reach the cliffs to Lavaridge. They're pretty damn tall; steep slopes meant to be slid down rather than leapt off. You might be able to climb them by hand, but they're pretty damn slick. That said, there appears to be a large, gnarled tree at the northern end where the slopes are lowest. Its thick branches reach the top of it...you might be able to get up that way.

WHAT DO, MIGHTY TRAINERS?

Gale Wing Srock:

Frosty · Nov 3, 2015

" 'might be able to climb them by hand'. Yes right. Try doing that while holding a scythe. It is almost guaranteed death."

"Then why did you bring it"

"I didn't want to buy one and I had this one sitting around, so...uh. I didn't have much choice really my precious"

"You cheap bastard"

"Move"

Frosty: Climb the branches of the tree
Gallade: Climb the branches of the tree
IF Frosty is to fall THEN Telekinesis (Frosty)

Gale Wing Srock · Nov 3, 2015

"gnarled tree eh?"

"Clefable?" What are those two doing?

"No Idea!"

"Clef-able?" What are we - doing?

"We have no Clue, so we follow 'em?"

">.<"

Roark: Move towards the gnarled tree at the northern end, wait till Frosty and Ravio have climbed to the top of the tree, and then follow them.

Clefable: Follow Roark while keeping an eye out for any pokemon or creatures near the vicinity of the gnarled tree.

The Wanderer · Nov 11, 2015

Well, Frosty didn't really think about the consequences of bringing a large, sharp farming tool with him, making his attempt at climbing especially difficult. Nevertheless, he manages to pull it off and reach the top of the cliff, though it takes a while, and not without a few near misses. The rest of the party follows suit afterwards; Ravio scales the tree with no difficulty at all, while Meena holds on to Roark as he climbs up, keeping lookout.

This road could really use an infrastructure update.

All in all, your efforts were successful, and both Lavaridge and the southern end of Jagged Pass are in sight...along with a crowd in front of the latter.

"I said this road's closed. Now back off!"

"And I says we's goin' t'rew!"

Hark! Some local hooligans looking to get into Jagged Pass are accosting the cops blocking it off! The officer calls for backup; it looks like a fight is about to break out. You might be able to sneak into the pass while the cops are distracted...

WHAT DO, MIGHTY TRAINERS?

Gale Wing Srock:

Gale Wing Srock · Nov 16, 2015

"Sneak past? I don't think so!"

"Clefable?" Why not?

"Because I have vouched to stand by Justice, no matter what!"

"Clef-able?" But - what about the search?

"That comes later."

">.<"

Roark: Walks towards the cop, stands next to him and inquires about the situation while offering assistance.

Clefable: Hides behind Roark and peeps from behind his left arm.

Frosty · Nov 19, 2015

"Oh this does not bode well..."

"Hide and see what happens?"

"Now you are speaking my language boss!"

Frosty: Hides nearby and tries to eavesdrop (focus on hiding tho)
IF Roark is attacked by pokemon THEN get closer and ready to battle
Ravio: Hides nearby and tries to eavesdrop (focus on hiding tho)
IF Roark is attacked by pokemon THEN get closer and ready to battle

The Wanderer · Nov 20, 2015

♫Bad shit going down
Goddammit, will you just take the hint...*ahem* As previously mentioned, a group of ruffians seem to be accosting the cop blockading Jagged Pass. Clearly unwilling to stand for this, Roark walks up to inquire about the situation, his Clefable in tow...

"Eh? Who's 'dis punk?"

"Ugh, more of them...Look, I'm sorry, but there's been a landslide in Jagged Pass, so we've had to close it off until we can get the road cleared."

"Sure, Donut-breath. Youse guys most definitely ain't tryin' to hide 'dat cave."

"...Donut-breath?"

He sounds more befuddled at that than offended.

"In any case, I don't know of any cave in Jagged Pass. And if I did, I'd recommend against exploring it - for the love of Arceus, this is Mt. Chimney!"

"Aww, don't tell us youse guys want 'dat treasure, eh? We's found it foist! Now step aside!"

You're starting to think these two might know about the Shrine of Ruin. The cop, on the other hand, is just getting more and more confused.

"Tre-where are you getting all of this?! I think I'd know about-HEY, GET BACK HERE!"

The cop tries to block the two roughnecks, but evidently they've had enough of this shit and punch him. Welp, a fight's broken out. Roark's close enough to intervene, but Frosty and his Gallade, who decided to stay back and watch, are too far back; it'll take them at least a round to join in.

Alternatively, you could ignore this mess altogether and sneak into Jagged Pass.

Sweet!

Are they all normal types Laddie or the Hooligans are Dark Types?

The Wanderer · Nov 20, 2015

That, I'm afraid you'll need an ancient sword to find out. Or speculate from the crunch.

Frosty · Nov 26, 2015

"Defiant...possibly with Dark typing...I have a feeling I am not the best trainer to fight those people"

"aren't these only excuses?"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

"Uh...not really no."

"K, let's sneak in"

Frosty & Ravio: Stealthly Sneak into Jagged Pass while Roark takes all the attention
IF Possible have Frosty grab Gallade and use its Teleport to Teleport both into Jagged Pass

Gale Wing Srock · Nov 26, 2015

"Oh! you both are going to get beaten up so bad that you would wish you had never crossed the path of Roark till the day you die."

"Clefable!" Lets Run!

"Meena! you said you wanted to go on an adventure with me? Now, learn to stand your ground."

"Clef-able-" But - But -

"Lets teach them a lesson!"

"X_+"

Roark: Thief (Hooligan B) ~ Snarl (Opps) to scare them away.

IF Hooligan A, Hooligan B and Cop are not holding an Item, THEN use Snarl (Opps) to scare them away.

IF your target does not have an item when you would use Thief, THEN redirect to the creatures in this order (Hooligan A -> Cop)

Clefable: Dazzling Gleam (Opps) ~ Hyper Voice (Opps) to scare them away.

IF the opps ran away when you would act, THEN use Chill that action instead.

The Wanderer · Nov 29, 2015

Rage crosses Roark's features.

How dare they? These delinquents, these hoodlums, these barbaric THUGS had the gall to assault a man devoted to the safety of his people! What a world we live in, where the wicked oppress the innocent so brazenly!

But through the ages, evil has never prospered. For as long as there is...*snrk*...as long as there is at least one to rise up to their...*giggle*...their reign of terror, the mighahaty fists of justice sHAHAHAHAHA! HAHA! S-haha, sorry, haha! I, I, I just can't say something that lame with a straight face! Hehe, gimme, gimme a minute...*deep breaths*

*sigh* Okay, I think I got it under control now. *ahem* Anyway! Back on topic, it's pretty clear that Roark clearly isn't going to stand for this.

"Oh! you both are going to get beaten up so bad that you would wish you had never crossed the path of Roark till the day you die."

♫Obstruction

"Ey! Youse gettin' in our way, punk?!"

"Youse must be pretty dumb if youse lookin' to pick a fight with us!"

"Um, I'm pretty sure I can handle these two just fi-"

"YOUSE GOIN' DOWN!"

The tension in the area starts to ramp up. Now that you think about it, the one in the Gyarados vest is a lot bigger than you thought...

"Ey! How boutcha eat 'dis, pig!"

Krookodile thug seems to be paying more attention to the cop. Maybe he finds Roark and Meena not worth fighting. Or maybe he's just all fuck the police. Either way, he charges and slams his bulk into the officer! To make matters worse, the blow sends the cop straight into a second slam from the other hooligan. They may be assholes, but they're coordinated assholes.

This is bad...the cop's gonna get knocked out at this rate. Maybe Roark can try to scare them off? In an attempt to drive away the two hoodlums, he lets out a wrathful, deafening screech...

"Hah! Youse t'ink dat's gonna scare us, four-eyes?!"

But despite his assault on their ears, their courage/stupidity goes unmolested. If anything, it's been redoubled...or not.

"Oh, to hell with this..."

The cop pulls out a megaphone and starts yelling into it, perhaps in an attempt to reclaim order. Whatever it was supposed to accomplish, the Gyarados thug seems to not like it...

Meena, who's been trying to avoid conflict up to this point, has come to the conclusion that she's gonna have to fight her way out of this. Gathering all the energy she can, she runs up to the hooligans and lets it all loose, erupting in a bright flash! That one sends them really reeling, screaming and grabbing their faces.

"Gaaaaaaah! My eyes!"
"Aaagh! It's like walkin' in on the lava cookie lady in the shower!"

"That dozzit! I don't care if she's a Clefable, we's givin' her a black eye or twelve!"

"And then we's bustin' her trainer's glasses!...wait..."

Uh oh, looks like Gyarados has an idea...and sure enough, he goes for Roark's specs!

"Hah! Lessee you try to fight us withoutcher eyes, eh?"

"An' while yer at it, yer damn pixie, too!"

Krookodile dogpiles Meena...and gets up immediately, turning to his compatriot.

"Ey, uh, I think we should stop pickin' on the pixie."

"What're youse talkin' bout? You saw what she didsta us!"

"I dunno, it just feels like I's kickin' a Lillipup or somethin."

"Youse goin' soft on me, buddy?!"

"Look, if youse wanna take 'er on, be my guest, but I ain't doin' it."

"Ugh, fine! Rough up the uddas, the-"

Gyarados gets cut off by a cacophony of noise. Despite the fact that the thugs are clearly losing, they seem to be up for more. All the while, Frosty decided to be smart and sneak past the whole fracas...

-Jagged Pass-
♫Rock on the Road

Frosty and his Gallade travel up a dirt road, trying to hide from the construction crew along the way. Ash begins to fall as they climb the mountain, and the trees give way to jagged crags. The blanket of ash on the grass looks to have gone untouched for a while, and it's practically silent...there doesn't seem to be a single pokemon in sight.

You notice what looks to be a cave, blocked off by a giant boulder. You recall the defunct eco-terrorist group, Team Magma, having a base around here a few years back. Perhaps it might be the entrance?...nah, probably not.

The Wanderer · Dec 8, 2015

Okay, before we go on with this, I should point out there's been an update regarding backpacks, so you all have bottom-tier inventories added in the party stats window. This doesn't really change anything, but still...anyway!

-Route 112-
♫Obstruction

A scuffle continues at the bottom of Mt. Chimney. In one corner, there is a nearsighted young miner taking a breather, a cop screaming into a megaphone and a Clefable doing all the dirty work.

The other corner hosts a pair of bald hoodlums about to get their asses whooped, and-

...oh, okay, scratch that, JUST got their asses whooped. They're both out cold; Roark takes a moment to frisk Gyarados and reclaim his glasses...there they are.

♫Rock on the Road

"Erm, I'm pretty sure I could have handled that on my own, but, uh, thank you!"

The cop looks around to see that he's more or less alone with you and the unconscious thugs.

"Hey, uh, I oughta get these guys arrested for, you know, assaulting an officer. Seeing as there's nobody here, can I ask you to, uh, not go up the mountain while I'm out processing them?"

At this point, he heaves both goons over his shoulders and trots off...damn, he's strong. Now of course, the first thing Roark needs to do is ignore the cop's request and go up Jagged Pass.

You're almost certain you can hear a train screaming in the distance.

-Jagged Pass-

Meanwhile, back at the plot...Frosty and Ravio decide they want to check out what's behind the boulder. Through good old fashioned violence. Mega evolving his Gallade for good measure, Frosty drops a nice, punishing blow on the rugged old rock...

"Gunkunkunk!"

It looks like not all of the pokemon in Mt. Chimney have gone away...turns out this boulder was a Golem.

Who is now incredibly pissed at your rude awakening.

♫A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

"Gunkunkunk! Gunkunkunkunkunk!"

The Golem is stomping his feet in rage and roaring, but hasn't made his move yet. You'd think he'd try to rip your head off after that stunt, why is he not attacking?

And then you see why.

"Gaajaaaaaah!"

He has friends. Only one, but there's a possibility he might have more on the way. Speaking of which, Golem immediately grabs his new partner and chucks him right at Frosty, their faces colliding...damn, that's gotta hurt. It takes a moment for the Geodude to regain his bearings - even Rock Head wasn't quite enough to deflect the recoil. When he does, however, Frosty still gets a bit of flak - this time in the form of a few smaller rocks. Meanwhile, Ravio, who had been prepping for something a little more substantial, slams the Golem with a Focus Punch. Our two heroes continue their assault on the Golem, putting a dent in his considerable bulk, but now they see that the Gallade is the real problem, and gang up on him by quite literally throwing their weight around.

Also...

Is this really a good idea, letting them see our moves? I mean, if we're mimicking raid mechanics...

"Oh dear, he snapped..."

Gallade: Drain Punch (Geodude) - Leaf Blade (Geodude)

The Wanderer · Dec 14, 2015

-Route 112-

Spouting out some Kamen Rider-esque victory line, Roark heads up the pass with Meena in tow, keeping an eye out for enemies. We'll leave them be for now...

-Jagged Pass-

...because we've got a fight to go back to. Frosty flew into a rage from getting beaned by that Geodude, and starts wailing the everlasting deuce out of him. Ravio, meanwhile, takes a more pragmatic approach, sucking the life out of said Geodude and playing on his weaknesses. That said, leaving the Golem alone may not have been a good idea, as he and his compatriot go straight for the fancy-pants pixie knight thing, knocking some serious health off of him - in fact, Ravio got paralyzed from a rather crippling tackle.

But wait! A savior appears! As they travel up the mountain, Roark and Meena have spotted our two warriors in the midst of this skirmish! With the Golem and his lesser distracted, Roark fires off a Dark Pulse that takes out the Geodude! Meena, meanwhile, sets off a pulse of her own - one that causes the gravity to intensify. The ash falls at a greater rate thanks to this, but it's pretty fluffy ash, so it doesn't really do anything beyond making you dirtier.

Unfortunately, just before that Geodude fell, another came out of the cave to take his place.
