Victory!

"Ah, gosh darn it! So much for a free victory." The store manager sighs with regret. "Well, you got me. Anyways, what do I owe you? Free food? Take as much as you want."

As much as you want?

"Yessiree. In business as in battle, to the victor go the spoils."

--

You pile a shopping cart full of goods to take home (enough to last at least 2 weeks), but when you arrive back at home you realize you don't have a way to refrigerate anything. So, you spread all the food out on a table, buffet-style, then you and your Pokemon feast like kings for a night. You indulge yourselves in all the meats and vegetables, soups and sodas, and berries and pastries that you can fit into your bellies. And as you bring your plate back for a fourth serving, you spot a familiar duo poking their heads in through your cracked window pane. With bashful tone, they speak:

"Hey, uh, got any more food?"
"We're still hungry..."

It's going to be a long night, it seems.

Rewards:
epicdrill : -10 JC, +4 TC, +4 RC, Stage 5* Heracross and Tyranitar, +6 RPT
nightblitz42 : +6 TC, +9 JC

Thanks for playing!

It is a balmy spring evening on the tropical island of Mossdeep, and the sunset paints the clouds with vibrant hues: cotton candy pink, orange sherbet, and velvety purple. Crowds of gentlemen in crisp tuxedos and ladies in elegant gowns have gathered in the air-conditioned lobby of the Mossdeep Space Center to attend the launch of the revolutionary Space Vehicle christened the Nova Terra by the president of the Global Space Association. Aside from him, there will be many distinguished guests from various countries around the globe who will be on the ship's maiden voyage to Mars. Among them is one young woman, epicdrill, a trainer who recently garnered much fame for being currently undefeated in the Grand Tournament being held in Sinnoh.

The Nova Terra boasts five stunning bio-domes with massive reinforced glass windows to maximize the view of space. Each one contains a different biome with wild Pokemon living in them that may be battled at the guests' leisure. They are the Lush Rainforest, Deep Ocean, Sweltering Desert, Frigid Arctic, and Prehistoric.

Over the loudspeakers, a clear chime sounds twice and a woman's voice announces, "The Nova Terra is now ready to be boarded. All guests may now proceed to the gangway. Spectators may now proceed to the second story to view the launch from the Executive Lounge." epicdrill and her partners, Kira the Swampert and Camilla the Scizor, take that as their cue to join the wave of guests in exiting the Space Center.

The Nova Terra's egg-shaped main body is pure white and exudes an aura of hope. People are already riding the escalators that lead into the massive ship for the welcoming banquet. The tension in the air is palpable and the crowd surges with anticipation in a tidal wave of pressing bodies. Around halfway to the entrance, disgruntled mutters and gasps are heard, and, as epicdrill turns around to see what the commotion is all about, a dark shape emerges from between the legs of the guests waiting behind her, springs off of her chest, and then proceeds to dash over the heads of the people ahead of her in line. Rapidly losing her balance, epicdrill falls backward over the supposedly protective handrail and tumbles, head over heels, toward the sea of concrete down below.

Time slows to a crawl. epicdrill's hair and dress are whipped wildly by the empty air on which she is falling. Kira and Camilla- as well as the other guests- watch on in horror and shock. There are only a precious few seconds before epicdrill meets her demise.

epicdrill, what do Kira and Camilla do to save you from the fall?

 

[epicdrill]

Heeeeellllllpppppp meeeeeeee


I know what to do!


So do I!

Camilla the Scizor will use Pursuit to try to catch me before I fall, and Kira the Swampert will use Surf to create a massive wave where I'm falling and then Dive into the wave to catch me.

 

[Doduodrio]

As epicdrill continues to tumble, Camilla springs into action first, whirring her wings at supersonic speeds, arms outstretched to catch epicdrill or slow her descent. Kira is slower to react, Diving off of the escalator and summoning a wave of water from the nearby coast that rises up to meet the falling trainer and her Pokemon. They hit the artificial barrier with a burst, and when the water disperses, epicdrill and her Pokemon are revealed to be in one piece, albeit soaking wet. Right away, Space Center workers rush over to the trio with towels and help them dry off, frantically apologizing all the while.

Success! +2 RPT

A few hours later, epicdrill and her team, along with the rest of the guests, are now aboard the Nova Terra and the boarding ports have been shut and sealed. The ship has already launched, the welcoming banquet is over, and most guests have dispersed throughout the ship, enjoying the many things the ship has to offer: the spa, buffet, movie theater, and all the many shops. All of this is clustered in the center of the ship. Someone standing on the top floor could look down all the way to the first floor! Of course, the railings are much more closely guarded after what happened during boarding.

However, all the hustle and bustle of the brightly lit entertainment centers don't interest everyone. Located around the edges of the ship are the bio-domes, where epicdrill and her Pokemon are now headed toward, through the yellowy light of the dimly lit hallways, itching for some battles. At the end of the corridor, the heavy steel door guarding the Sweltering Desert biome awaits.

Inside the bio-dome, pillowy mounds of golden yellow sand cover the floor, mud-brown rock formations line the walls, and dull green desert plants are scattered throughout. The expansive glass window is tinted a light blue to mimic the sky, but the midnight expanse of space is still somewhat visible.

Without warning, a wall of sand blows at epicdrill's team, causing them to shield their eyes. When the flurry of sand clears, a Gigalith is revealed.


Gigalith approaches!

[epicdrill]

Kira, why don't you start us off?

Leading with Kira the Swampert
Earthquake, Liquidation, Earthquake
IF Gigalith is to use a multi-hit move in a combo, THEN Protect and push back steps.
IF Gigalith is to use a partial trapping move this round AND you have not hit Gigalith with a partial trapping move on a prior action, THEN Sand Tomb on odd instances and Whirlpool on even instances, pushing back steps each time.
IF Gigalith is to use Wide Guard AND you are to use Earthquake, THEN Liquidation and push back steps.

 

[Doduodrio]

epicdrill Oops, I forgot to equip Gigalith. Am I supposed to redo the send-out and you reorder or do I just quickly slap an item on it and nothing else changes.

 

[epicdrill]

Just quickly slap an item on, technically I should reorder but it doesn't change my orders either way.

The Gigalith lets out a deep rumble.

End of Round 2

Kira's head fins twitch. Before anyone can react, she erects a large protective barrier with Wide Guard at the same instant that Gigalith explodes, deadly fragments of rock and debris scattering and causing a spray of sand to shower epicdrill's team. Luckily, they are shielded from the brunt of the blast and were relatively unharmed.

Just barely audible, the silky smooth sound of a body sliding over sand can be heard. And it seems to be from right behind...


The Serperior attacks!

With one last X-Scissor, the Serperior easily falls. It wasn't much of a match for Camilla's powerful Bug-type moves.

 

[Doduodrio]

With one battle complete, epicdrill and her companions still desire to battle more. By checking the holographic map accessed via her smartwatch, epicdrill determines that the next bio-dome they should challenge is the Fossil biome, home to Pokemon of an age long gone. They make a short trek through the Sweltering Desert until they arrive at the heavy metal door forming an air-tight seal that leads to the main ship. But, the door isn't opening. epicdrill taps her ID card to the scanner, but it simply flashes red and emits a dissapointing beep. Someone must have tampered with the lock! epicdrill quickly uses her watch to send a help call to security, but it lets her know that they will take half an hour to process her message and get to her location. Talk about fast service.

It is suddenly becoming more apparent how hot the temperature in the bio-dome is. Even though epicdrill is already wearing fairly light clothing, she's already sweating intensely. Kira shifts around, uncomfortable with the heat, and Camilla is whirring her wings to cool off. All of the water instantly evaporates when epicdrill brings out her water bottle, so water isn't an option. It would be best to conserve any available water anyways.

epicdrill, how do your Pokemon help you cool down?

 

[epicdrill]

It's really hot in here, I wonder if we can cool down somehow...


I can help with creating more airflow, maybe that will help...


Just because small quantities of water evaporate instantly, doesn't mean large quantities will, that should help cool things down.

I've also heard of Hippowdon immersing themselves in mud to cool off, maybe that will help...


I like that plan!

Camilla the Scizor will use Air Slash to create more airflow in the area and Kira the Swampert will use Muddy Water to cover us in mud to block the heat and create a ton of water that will hopefully absorb some of the heat

 

[Doduodrio]

Camilla whirs her wings even faster, causing sand to swirl around and the air to move around. Everybody feels cooler already. Then, Kira blasts epicdrill and Camilla with a very gentle smattering of muddy water which clings to their skin and evaporates, further cooling them down. The mud then hardens into a protective layer to keep the heat out.

Half an hour later, the door is finally opened and a single security guard walks in.

*grumble grumble* "Why do I always get the worst assignments... sheesh! Why is it so hot here?"

Grateful and a little miffed, epicdrill thanks the security guard and then heads to her stateroom to enjoy a nice hot shower to wash off the mud and to get a fresh change of clothes.

Success! +2 RPT

The next day, epicdrill and her team return to the lower decks, headed for the Fossil bio-dome.

Inside the Fossil bio-dome are large, thick-trunked trees that form a leafy canopy near the ceiling. Enormous Bug-Pokemon like Scolipede and Yanmega roam around- the sounds of clicking mandibles hangs over epicdrill's team as a constantly looming threat. Snapping branches and the rustle of foilage being jostled can be heard, probably made by large, dinosaurian Pokemon. The sound of crashing and thumping gets louder as a large Tyranitar emerges from the dense brush...


The pattering sound of sand hitting leaves gets louder...
