[LOSS] Caverns of Time: Old Flower Paradise (Normal) - GemOfTheDay and ZhengTann

[zarator]

Soundtrack

You cannot tell how long the journey through the mists of time took - be it a hour, a few seconds, or just an eyebeat. The portal through which you arrive still faints glowly, giving you a feeble sense of safety in the knowledge that you still have a way out of this. But the scenery before you quickly trumps any shred of tranquility you could still cling to.

The cheerful glade that you remembered from your time stands now before you as a wild, savage island. Strong winds blow all around its shores, and fierce waves clash against the rocks. The Seabreak Path is not here - you cannot tell if the raging ocean submerged it or if it formed years - centuries? - later. Regardless, you seem to only have one way to go.

As you head deep inside the woodlands, you soon find an increasing number of chopped trees. At a closer inspection, however, you realize they're not actually chopped, but charred. It looks as if someone, or something, scorched the trees to ashes, leaving nothing but their chopped bases. As you stop there to wonder what could be the cause behind this, however, you suddenly feel the ground shaking rhytmically beneath your feet... shaking as if something big were walking right behind you!

And in fact, as you turn, a gigantic creature stares before you, its reptilian eyes gazing on your minuscule figures with a mixture of rage and defiance.

Its is my charge to watch over this glade, I will see you burn before any harm comes to it.

A stream of fire suddenly surrounds a circular area around you, preventing any escape. At the same time, the creature's flaming body suddenly bursts, bathing the previously dark place in a hot, intense light!

[ZhengTann]

Remember how I said I have much foolish courage? Either I'm going to have to eat my own words, or we're going to prove it!

"He is one of the last surviving beings I can still call friends..."

Is this perhaps the fate of legendary Pokemon? To reign supreme, but remain alone? The lowest Pokemon life lived seems a paradise in comparison, almost carefee, with plenty of friends of the same/differenct species to mix, play, and fight around. Even humans...

"Do you wonder how Flower Paradise would look like in those days, bhante, before we humans discover it?"
"I do, but I imagine it would exceed our expectations. Things will change over time, and unless we've actually been there, we would not know how much the change will be."

The spacetime travelling seems... odd, in a way. Would a temporal paradox occur? A Bad Wolf resolution, or a self-consistent timeflow? Zheng do not know. But he is here to try. The journey beyond the point of what will be, or used to be, or still is, Seabreak Path is undisturbed, until they came upon the charred glade.

Its is my charge to watch over this glade, I will see you burn before any harm comes to it.

"Geehee, playing the blame game, are we?"

"Try THIS for burning, mon!"

Eruption > Eruption
IF Elfman-Camerupt has less than 80 HP, THEN replace that action with Fire Blast instead.

Round 1​

Cuivre shields her team mates against physical punishment, but forgets to protect Pleut as well. Pyroak does not seem to care, though, and plummets the raid with a barrage of boulders. Then, the fiery beast focuses on the Castform and smacks it with a fiery stream of flames. But apparently Pyroak isn't done yet, because it follows shortly after, opening the mouth of its arm cannon and firing at the unfortunate Pleut.

Pyroak: BURN, you miserable wretches!

The unstable mixture fired by the foe keeps burning on the Castform, as well.

What was that that I just got hit with?

I don't know. What does the genius say?

Calculating...

RaidInfo.exe

    getData("Napalm Strike")
        output("Napalm strike: Target will suffer an additional 2 damage per action for 3 actions. Stacks up to 10 times")
        end
    end
end

Well then. Get some screens up, ASAP. We'll also want to try and cycle threat among our pokemon, If we can. Honchkrow would not like to be tanking this round, however.

Cuivre: Weather ball -> Fire blast

Pleut: Light screen [Elfman, Gajeel, Pleut] -> ice beam

Tailwind -> Aerial ace (89 is the final threat. should lose aggro.)

Earth Power -> Eruption (112 is the final threat, plus or minus 2 (Rock slides and stuff.))

 

[ZhengTann]

Time to jab Dogfish's Panic Button - we forgot that Pyroak has Earthquake. Also going to discuss orders with Gem - will edit in orders once we've reached an agreement.

EDIT: Orders in.

"Dang, that thing hits like a maglev train!"

"Mon, you don't know that I'm gonna stop him cold."

"Pfft, go ahead and try then."

Elfman (Camrupt): Eruption > Eruption
IF Elfman-Camerupt has less than 80 HP, THEN replace that action with Fire Blast instead.

Gajeel (Honchkrow): Fly > Sky Attack

 

[zarator]

Gem, you ostensibly switched the name of your mons for orders. Since I want to reward the bravery of you two I am going to "switch them" myself, but be more careful next time as I may be less light-hearted^^

Round 2​

Gajeel quickly goes out of Pyroak's reach to avoid fiery punishment. This causes the massive beast to turn back to Pleut, who's probably better suited to tank those gigantic blows. Even the Castform however can take hits for only so long, therefore Elfman goes all-out to get the foe's attention. The trick works, insofar as it causes Pyroak to turn on the Camerupt and spray a fiery liquid onto him.

Pyroak: BURN, you miserable wretches!

However, seemingly tired of dealing with you alone, the monster calls out for aid!

Pyroak: How much heat can you take?

In response to his call, a magmatic creature spawns from the burning fields!

Get Aurumoth to Heal Pulse Castform where necessary, but remember to Ancient Power Slugma once. Castform goes all out on Pyroak while Honchkrow's going to take two hits and a Napalm ;-;

"Geehee, another fire-breather to take down!"

"... You're not referring to me, are you mon?"

"If I am, you won't be here already."

Elfman (Camrupt): Earth Power > Mud Bomb , both @ Slugma
IF Slugma is KO'ed, THEN replace that action with Fire Blast @ Pyroak instead.

Gajeel (Honchkrow): Air Cutter > Air Cutter
IF Slugma is KO'ed, THEN replace that action with Sky Attack @ Pyroak instead.

 

[GemOftheDay]

This Pyroak is scaring me.

Of course. But hey, It could have been something worse like Hoopa or... uh...

Pybroke?

Yeah, that one!

They're the same thing, you're just incompetent.

Hey, No need to be a smart-ass, smart-as ... poop ... face?

Aurumoth: Heal pulse (Castform) -> Ice Beam (Pyroak)

Castform: weather ball (Pyroak) -> Fire blast (Pyroak)

 

[zarator]

Round 3​

Cuivre heals Pleut while Elfman takes care of the Slugma. Gajeel has a hard time taking Pyroak's assaults, but manages to dodge its fiery kick at the last moment. Enraged, the beast follows up with its napalm spray

Pyroak: BURN, you miserable wretches!

However, the worse still has to come, as the weakened Slugma glances with a maddened look in its eyes and blows up, heavily damaging everyone - including Pyroak itself.

Ack Gem you forgot that Aurumoth should be Ancient Power Slugma A2 ;-; Okay, at least we found out about this enrage-Selfdestruct thingie. Chalk another new task up: get Pyroak as close to 66% as possible, seeing if we can trigger a HP-related special.

Aurumoth should get Reflect back up (on Castform this time), then Heal Pulse again Castform again. Meanwhile, Castform continues as normal (not like there's anything else possible). Time to pull a Leeroy Jenkins.

EDIT:
[09:17] <Zt> Also Zar, how does CoTFP Slugma work?
[09:17] <Zarator> Once it gets down to 20% HP it will try to explode at the end of that action unless it dies before

"Gah, it's too bright! I can't see!"

"Wait, mon - if we can't see, so can't that inflamed Pyroak! Gotta hit him now, mon!"

"How the heck do we even aim if we can't see it?"

"The mon is too slow, he's bound to be where he still is!"

Elfman (Camrupt): Flamethrower > Fire Blast

Gajeel (Honchkrow): Fly > Sky Attack

 

[GemOftheDay]

Cuivre (Aurumoth): Reflect (everyone except self) -> heal pulse (castform)

Pleut (Castform): weather ball -> fire blast

Round 4​

Cuivre tries to defend her team mates while they try to exploit Pyroak's temporary weakness, but the fiery beast returns the favor to the equally weakened Pleut, nearly knocking him out. Then, it turns back to Gajeel and, after smacking the squad with a barrage of boulders, it sprays the Honchkrow with burning liquid.

Pyroak: BURN, you miserable wretches!

Not content about the squad's weakened state, however, Pyroak calls for aid once more!

Pyroak: Such flammable little insects...

Once again, a Slugma coalesces from the incandescent terrain!

Okay, we made it to 65 percent. Nothing is triggered yet, so now let's aim for 50%. Which should be impossible. Yay.

EDIT: Okay, we've established that it is impossible. Forfeiting the scout. Maybe we can come back if we were fast enough?

Gem remember to have Aurumoth Heal Pulse Honchkrow after setting up Light Screen. And cross our fingers that Rock Slide does not come. Castform should probably use Protect A2.

"Great, mon. Another Slugma."

"Tch, and we're all running low already..."

​

Elfman (Camrupt): Earth Power > Mud Bomb, both @ Slugma

Gajeel (Honchkrow): Drill Peck > Fly, both @ Slugma
