So... Seon will have a chance of "redeeming himself"/"finally dieing" tomorrow? :D
Zack should be put up against him. Both looked scummy. One is proven. All we need is the other.

As a note, Captain Blackadder has agreed to replace Rebel Jeb, effective as soon as he reads the role PM I sent him.
Most interesting, four pokemon! :thinking:
On one hand, it defies common knowledge about there only being 3 pokemon that a trainer could select, yet it seems too blatant a tell and surely if Seon was sent to battle again he would be swiftly crushed, unless his last pokemon is like something all rounded (because Seon has one life to lose so to speak, but most others have 3
[assuming pokemon indeed do not recover like pizza said here:]

I'm not sure about the significance of it all, but it seems to me like a get out of jail free card that when used turns every other square into a go straight to jail square for your next move.
Ha, would've still one-shotted with Ice Shard. :PQuote:

If it's a scum, you have to try again, and who knows if the town will retain its resolve for a second day. If a townie -- well really you should lynch them twice, because they were scummy enough to lynch the first time, but if it's wrong you've just spent two days wasting time -- which in turn feeds right back in to the likelyhood of the scum NOT being lynched a second time. It just .. gah. Obey the will of the mob, fer pete's sake.Quote:

Now, about the darn 4th pokemon of mine. Well, I said when I was reading my role PM. This is nice, I get a fourth pokemon instead of three like everyone else! Yeah, cheating for the win!
And then I got selected to battle. Oh darn, I said. But I thought to myself: I have four and he has three. I can handle it. Unless he used an electric type, cutting through both my Empoleon Vespiqueen. Oh hmm...
So when the results were announced, I panicked and contacted Chaotix to change my pokemon battle order. Chaotix, being a man of great mercy, politely replied "sorry man. Already rolled. Oh, and you lost."
So I slinked back and started moping around, waiting to see the writeup to proclaim my death/elimination. And then I looked and saw that my fourth have not been used, and that I was not eliminated. It was a pleasant surprise. Yay!
And then I started hearing things that I should be lynched again. For god's sake, I only have one bloody pokemon left. You people already ruined whatever chance I had in winning this competition. I already explained why I have a fourth pokemon as much as possible. I don't know why I didn't use my 4th. What else do you want from me?
Are we even sure that there is such thing as a scum role in this game?
Yeah, but I dont' get it. You put an empty pokeball in -- what? I need the explanation for the Pokemon-impaired.Quote:

Sorry, I don't buy it. I do recall in a Mafia game where I was Mafia, one of my mafia buddies, upon being discovered, used an excuse similar to yours to try and make sure the town kept him alive.Quote:

Seon is Pearl/Dawn, the female player character in the DPPt games; why would she have 'beef' with anyone?Quote:

So he tried using the excuse that he had specific targets, which were nobles. And since he had no beef with the whole of the town, then they wouldn't need to kill him, and since he had a kill ability, from then on, the town could use his ability to their advantage. In good truth, he could (and had to) kill all townies, regardless of whether they were noblemen or not. He actually managed to convince some to spare him, but not enough and he ended up lynched anyway.Quote:

The row with a friend I took to be out of game.
Going for a guy's throat when he's down for the count isn't very sportsmanlike, even if he did break the rules.
Hello
I think Seon lynch.
Let's hold our horses, Saregona, and wait until daybreak, when we'll find out all the devious things that have gone on in the night.
Hello
I think we definately Seon lynch.

Night has ended, but I'm still working on the write-up. It's a big one.
Night 2
As night fell, the trainers scattered themselves throughout the cave once again, each finding their own new safe places to stay. After Joy had related her tale of the night before to the rest of them, not a single trainer dared to sleep in the rooms provided near the arena.
Maxie was in a large, cavernous chamber covered mostly by an underground lake.
It appeared as if he were trying to make his Camerupt evaporate all of the water. Unfortunately, it did not occur to him that even if that were possible, the water vapor would have nowhere to go and condense right back into the lake again. Nonetheless, he was making a valiant effort.
He didn’t even notice when somebody threw a Pokeball with a loud splash into the water. That is, until a huge Gyarados burst up from under the surface.
“Well… that’s not good.”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Gyarados-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...23Camerupt.png
“Camerupt, use Eruption now!”
Camerupt roared, and the water underneath Gyarados began bubbling fiercely. A massive jet of lava spewed up from underneath the lake, striking Gyarados in the face. If possible, Gyarados looked even more enraged than it normally did.
“Gyarados! Use Hydro Pump!”
The mysterious trainer was shouting orders from the other side of the lake, and was obscured from Maxie’s view. Gyarados launched a huge torrent of water from its mouth, thoroughly dousing both Camerupt and its trainer. Maxie returned his fainted Camerupt as he rose to his feet, and tossed out another Pokemon to battle.
“Go! Cacturne!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Gyarados-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...32Cacturne.png
The cactus Pokemon looked far more suited to take on Gyarados than Camerupt was. Gyarados was still raging, however, and did not look ready to quit any time soon.
“Use Pin Missile, Cacturne!”
Holding out its arms, Cacturne began firing a barrage of needles at Gyarados. Gyarados didn’t bother to dodge out of the way, but the needles couldn’t so much as scratch its thick hide. Instead, Gyarados was made more angry by the attack, and began recklessly attacking with Hydro Pump. Cacturne, luckily, was resistant to water-based attacks.
“Alright then… try Needle Arm!”
Gyarados had moved close enough to the edge of the water that it was in reach, so this time, Cacturne swung its prickly arm and smashed it right into Gyarados, who roared in pain this time.
“Gyarados, stay out of reach! Use Hyper Beam!”
Gyarados did as told and moved back, all the while firing a devastating Hyper Beam at Cacturne. The blast took a lot out of Cacturne, but it still managed to stay standing. It couldn’t reach Gyarados, though, and the sea dragon was rearing up for another Hyper Beam. Maxie came up with an ingenious idea.
“Cacturne, just jump onto it with your Needle Arm!”
Cacturne got a running start and leapt over the water, reaching out with both arms to grab Gyarados. The needles on its arms dug into Gyarados’ midsection and allowed Cacturne to stay attached, tearing away at Gyarados’ body while at the same time unreachable by it. Gyarados roared in pain.
“Thrash it! Drown it, now!”
It took little encouragement for Gyarados to begin thrashing wildly. Cacturne held on tight, but was being thrown about like a Safari Ranger riding a Tauros. Soon the Gyarados got the idea to go underwater. When Cacturne was finally thrown off, it landed with a thud next to Maxie, water-logged and unconscious.
“Grr… fine, then. Go, Crobat!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Gyarados-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...69Crobat-1.png
Unlike Maxie’s previous two Pokemon, Crobat had the advantage of mobility, and Gyarados now looked tired out.
“Use Cross Poison, now!”
Crobat secreted a poisonous substance and spread it throughout its entire body. Then it shot with lightning speed at Gyarados, seemingly passing straight through it. It took a moment for the blow to register with Gyarados, and then its face fell straight into the water, not rising again. The trainer returned it to its Pokeball, and Maxie looked triumphant.
“Hah! That’ll teach you to mess with Team Magma! Bahahaha!”
The hidden trainer, not amused, simply threw out another Pokeball.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...4Claydol-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...69Crobat-1.png
The Claydol levitated eerily over the underground lake, staring at Crobat with its six eyes. Crobat was slightly unnerved, but otherwise in top shape.
“Claydol, Psychic attack!”
Claydol’s eyes glowed with psychic energy, and suddenly Crobat was flung out of the air and into the cavern wall by an unseen force. Crobat was winded, but not finished yet.
“Retaliate with Air Slash!”
Crobat zipped past Claydol, and an air current ripped away at Claydol’s body, knocking it around in the air.
“Now use Crunch!”
Now Crobat swooped in close and bit down hard on Claydol’s face. It began dragging it around in the air like a chew toy.
“Yes! Submerge it in the lake!”
With a flinging motion, Crobat launched Claydol from its toothy grip directly into the lake below. Once in the water, Claydol was unable to levitate out of it. Oddly enough, it was like a demented sitting duck. The mysterious trainer cursed inaudibly, then shouted a final order to Claydol before beating a hasty retreat.
“Explosion, now!”
Claydol shone with a bright light and then spontaneously combusted, throwing Maxie and his Crobat to the wall and creating a handy cover of steam for the trainer to escape. When Maxie got up, he found his Crobat hurt, but still ok to battle. Maxie swore to himself never to camp out next to water again. He just couldn’t trust the stuff.
------------------------------------------------
Gold was wandering through a series of narrow corridors when he heard footsteps following behind him.
He quickly turned around and sent out his Mamoswine to defend himself. The huge beast was able to fit in the corridor, but it scarcely had and room to maneuver and dodge a possible attack. Gold was hoping simply to rely on durability and brute force.
“Go, Charizard!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...harizard-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...3Mamoswine.png
The flame on Charizard’s tail lit up the small corridor adequately enough to see it clearly. This Charizard looked large, well-trained, and incredibly ferocious. Gold twiddled his thumbs nervously. Clearly Mamoswine’s brand of brute force was not going to work on this thing.
“Fire Blast, now!”
As the trainer behind it had planned, Mamoswine had no room to dodge the devastating inferno that hurtled straight towards it. Mamoswine was struck in the face at point-blank range, and was felled almost instantly.
“Return, Mamoswine… Go, Ampharos!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...harizard-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...81Ampharos.png
“Ampharos, use Thunderbolt!”
Ampharos’ own tail lit up the corridor even further, and then proceeded to launch a powerful electric bolt straight at Charizard. At Gold’s direction, Ampharos flooded the fire dragon with electricity, holding the current open for as long possible. Charizard continued to stand still as it was continually electrocuted.
“Enough playing, around, Charizard. Just finish this thing off already.”
As soon as it was instructed, Charizard gave a great flap of its wings, stood its ground, and instantly broke the electric current. It hardly looked fazed by the super-effective electric attack, and with a devious glint in its eyes it launched another Fire Blast.
“Ampharos! No!”
Though Ampharos was certainly much smaller than Mamoswine and might have even been able to dodge the attack, it knew that Gold was standing right behind it. Acting as a barrier to protect its trainer, Ampharos took the full brunt of the attack, and dropped like a fly afterwards.
Anger and fear burned equally in Gold’s eyes as he stood face to face with this extremely powerful Charizard, awaiting his own fate. The opposing trainer did not look as if to have any intent of ending the battle with just the Pokemon. However, just in time, the three of them heard footsteps and shouting coming from behind the mysterious trainer. The trainer quickly returned Charizard to its ball and sprinted down a side branch, disappearing from view.
“Hello there! Are you alright?”
Nurse Joy looked slightly out of breath from running.
“I heard what sounded like a battle, so I hurried over to help… are your Pokemon ok?”
Gold released his Mamoswine and Ampharos to show Joy.
“They’re scorched… the other guy had a wicked Charizard. He was about to burn me, too.”
“Oh, my! I’m afraid even if I help one of these two they won’t be able to protect you immediately. Why don’t you show me your Scizor?”
Gold sent out his Scizor, who was still weary from the battle the day before, while Joy released her Chansey.
“Chansey! Use Softboiled!”
The Chansey set to work healing up Scizor. In a moment or two it was as if it had never lost.
“There! Scizor should be able to protect you now, just in case… though I wouldn’t send it up against that Charizard.”
“Oh, I know that much already! Thanks, Nurse Joy!”
The two trainers went their separate ways.
-------------------------------------------------
Some time later, Nurse Joy had found herself a wide-open cavern to rest in. She was wary, though, and quickly stirred awake as soon she heard someone else’s footsteps.
“Go, Togekiss!”
The trainer stuck to the shadows as the opponent Pokemon burst out of its ball.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...agnezone-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...68Togekiss.png
Neither the trainer nor the Magnezone made a sound. Magnezone simply floated ever closer towards Joy and her Togekiss, with a menacing, piercing stare.
“Togekiss, use Double-Edge!”
With blistering speed, Togekiss zipped off the ground and plummeted straight into Magnezone with great force. The attack would have normally inflicted major damage, but Magnezone was made of solid steel. Instead, while Magnezone was thrown off course and crashed into the ground, Togekiss itself looked like it had been hit with a ton of bricks.
“Thunderbolt.”
Magnezone levitated itself magnetically again, and then launched a powerful electric attack straight at Togekiss. Togekiss yelped in pain, and was electrocuted for several long seconds before it managed to break away.
“Togekiss, use Psychic!”
“Thunder Wave.”
Togekiss tried to move Magnezone with psychic power, but it was quickly cut off when Magnezone released a radial electric field that struck and paralyzed it, dropping it to the ground.
“Magnet Bomb.”
Magnezone released a powerful magnetic blast aimed directly at Togekiss. When it struck, Togekiss was launched straight backwards until it crashed into a wall. It then dropped to the ground, unconscious.
“Oh no, Togekiss! Return now… go, Miltank!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...agnezone-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...1Miltank-1.png
Joy was nervous now. Without Togekiss, Miltank was the last Pokemon capable of defending her… Chansey happened to be more of a lover than a fighter.
“Miltank, use Rollout!”
Miltank got a running start, then leapt forward, rolled up into a ball, and kept rolling, picking up speed. Miltank started to speed around the cavern, avoiding Magnezone at first.
“Careful, Magnezone…”
When Miltank struck, it caught Magnezone from behind. The attack knocked Magnezone to the floor, and Miltank kept rolling, ever faster. Miltank came hurtling back at double speed for another attack.
“Magnet Rise.”
With a sudden burst, Magnezone levitated itself high up into the air, allowing Miltank to pass harmlessly underneath and collide with the wall behind it. Dazed, Miltank slowly started to get back up.
“Thunderbolt! Don’t let it escape.”
Magnezone blasted Miltank with electric current, continuing to electrocute it. Miltank was paralyzed in place and unable to escape. It soon fainted from the pressure. Joy, shaking, returned it to its ball.
“Chansey… do your best.”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...agnezone-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...113Chansey.png
Chansey’s cheerful demeanor was replaced with protective anger, but it still didn’t look especially threatening.
“Use Egg Bomb!”
Chansey began to throw fake, explosive eggs at Magnezone, but it was unused to battling and its aim was off. Magnezone easily dodged the attacks and floated close to Chansey until they were face-to-face.
“Thunderbolt.”
A close-range thunderbolt was all it took to send Chansey flying into the wall for a knockout blow. Joy, quivering in fear, returned her last Pokemon. And then… nothing.
The trainer returned Magnezone to its ball, and quietly left without another word. Joy was left dumbstruck.
----------------------------------------
The next morning, all of the trainers returned for the next round of battles. They talked amongst themselves about the next round of attacks until the announcer began to speak.
“Greetings, trainers. Unfortunately, it seems that Nurse Joy no longer has any Pokemon left to battle with, so she has been eliminated from the tournament. The wild Pokemon of Cerulean Cave can be fierce. Perhaps it is wiser merely to stay in the rooms provided for you during the night. Anyway, let the voting begin!”

Begin Day 3!
It will end in 24 hours.
Looks like Togekiss should have used Aura Sphere.
But really, Chaotix, a Charizard beat an Ampharos? I thought you said only types mattered?
Charizard?
Are we fighting Red himself?
I can't think of any other people with Charizards, with the possible exception of Lance, the (former) Elite 4 champion of the Kanto Region, and Clair, his cousin, and gym leader of the Blackthorn City gym in the Johto Region.
There might have been a few more dragon users in the various Elite 4s, but its late, so good night.
I don't think anyone but Red and Lance have used a Charizard in the games.
Maybe Yellow?
I had no idea Seon was talking about a real life row, so I just assumed he was using it as an excuse to make up why he had an extra pokemon (Special Objective/Rivalry with another guy which allows him to have special conditions/etc). Since English is not my native language, I can't promise to completely understand the idiosincracy of every phrase in context.
Nevertheless, I still don't buy it.
Vote: Seon
Vote: Double A
I can tell you're interested in the game. So, vote. Take a risk, annoy someone.
Evening all. Just having a look through the thread to see what is what.
I survive another day, scum. Neener neener. Thanks robbie.
Who is maxie?
I got this PM from B_ray two minutes prior to the first night write-up.
Me being who I am, naturally my little bat ears perked up. Ooh, flattery and a promise of an alliance that would protect a putative mafia B_ray from the lynch while hurting them not at all as regards me? (I wasn't going to be lynched anyway after diving in headfirst on day one; and knowing my toughest Pokemon, they'd have very good odds of taking me out at night if they were to try.) So I was what you might say, interested. I was also under the impression the PM had been sent after the day had started, with B_ray drawing a vote almost right off the bat, which sort of added to things. (I see now it was actually sent *before* the day started, which if anything is even more interesting. How did B_ray know either of us would still be alive?)Quote:

I replied that I would appreciate it if he did; robbiecon's return PM, while not committing fully, was encouraging that he would. (Obviously, he did, and it means the mafia will have to attack me one more time than otherwise. Good timing.) However, meanwhile in the thread, robbiecon had suggested I might fight again, I replied to B_ray stating I was OK with a one day alliance to be renegotiated as needed, and by the way, had he noticed that robbiecon was already after me to fight again? robbie being an almost dead-certain innocent at that point, I was curious to see what B_ray would do. He did this, in public response to robbie:Quote:

All of this together (plus my near-death last night coincidentally upon the expiration of our cease-fire agreement), would probably have me voting for B_ray today, except for this from last night:
It almost seems *too* obvious as a post from a mafia.Quote:

Vote: Jolt for the following reasons.
A: He did not vote in Day 1
B: He jumped on my bandwagon.
C: to try and kill me again today, he kept on mentioning things like his previous game and whatever to strengthen his case, also looking like a perfect good townie in the process.
D: because he's mean and I am in an argumentative mood.
I personally would like to see a vote:B-Ray- Seon matchup, based on Seon's secret fourth pokemon and Renata's interactions with B-Ray.
Vote : B ray
Smarming never helps ;P
You can't pressure me into annoying people! That is a gift I have received, and you can't force greatness. Especially not greatness as great as me.Quote:

Well, that was a mess. Reposting since there was a vote in it.
Considering I was warned off Charizard, who the scumbags are known to have, let's just say I am not optimistic. :)Quote:

You should see the pm she just sent me...Quote:

Jeez, I was almost late to my own lynching. So, there have been some interesting developments since yesterday. I see Renata has decided to make our agreement a matter of public knowledge, which is fine, though I am nearly baffled at the conclusions she draws from it and the other events. Still, I can see how one in her shoes might perceive these events as being somehow related, having so little to go on. And I do appreciate your decision to somewhat uphold our agreement by not voting for me... even though you managed to draw a number of votes my way in doing so. :ahh: I'll still stick to my side of the agreement, though, for however little that is worth at this point...
As the immediate matter of who to vote for, I've got nothing constructive to offer the group. So much suspicion, and so very little evidence. Normally I would turn to a truly unbiased arbiter at this time: The Random Number Generator. But as it stands now, the votes are cast in such a way that I am in immediate peril of elimination through combat. So protecting my own hide will take priority. If I count correctly, Saregona has received 4 votes, myself 3, and Seon 2. So I stand a chance to avoid a certain duel by casting my own vote for Seon.
vote: Seon
There. Assuming all other votes remain unchanged, I will be subject to whatever impartial trial of tie-breaking our pragmatic host has determined for such occasions. May the die roll in my favor... or the judge accept begging.

unvote, vote: B_Ray
Your smiley faces are too grumpy. Clearly that makes you mafia.
Well that backfired quickly. Consider yourself my enemy, Pizza Guy! I would change my vote to you, but it would be a meaningless gesture at this point. *sigh*
Say, what exactly did Saregona do to garner so much suspicion? Re-reading the voting decisions of this day does not offer much explanation.
Rivals, baby, Rivals. Just because I'll become world champion before you, and I'll say my Pokemon are better, it doesn't mean I hate you. I'm secretly jealous of your Beefy physique and your abundant smileys.Quote:

In fact, chaotix points this out for us.
"As soon as it was instructed, Charizard gave a great flap of its wings, stood its ground, and instantly broke the electric current. It hardly looked fazed by the super-effective electric attack, and with a devious glint in its eyes it launched another Fire Blast."
I think if and when we find our Charizard owner, it will be time for a uni-boot, especially given the "The opposing trainer did not look as if to have any intent of ending the battle with just the Pokemon" clause. By contrast, I'm going to guess for the moment that the Magnezone owner may be a vig, based on the not-killing of Nurse Joy.
If the attackers use up their pokemon and don't have extras, then there's a good chance Maxie's attacker is completely vulnerable if discovered, because he lost two last night and may well have been one of the attackers the first night.
The other question is, we had three attacks both nights. If the charizard attacker attacked on the first night, why didn't they use charizard then? Granted, it's perfectly reasonable that one of the attackers from the first night wouldn't have attacked again, not wanting to risk the loss of more pokemon.
Nurse Joy is out, seeing as she was me.
@ auto:
The mafia probably swithed the order of their 3 pokemon, or the have access to all 6 pokemon, meaning the mafia could easily use 2 sets of pokemon, one for night and one for day.
Which means we wouldn't be able to tell who the mafia are by seeing which pokemon they have.
Round is over.
Tally:
Saregona- 4 (Zack, Fluffy, Secura, Renata)
B_Ray- 4 (autolycus, Chimpyang, Seon, ATPG)
Seon- 3 (Jolt, Yaseikhaan, B_Ray)
Askthepizzaguy- 1 (Saregona)
Death is yonder- 1 (Double A)
The duel is between Saregona and B_Ray. Expect the write-up soon.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: I am going to be away at the Princeton admitted students' weekend from Thursday (tomorrow) until late Saturday. Night 3 is going to be a very long phase - effectively an hiatus - until I have time to do a write-up on Sunday. I apologize for this; it wasn't on my schedule when I started this game.

Day 3
That day, many of the trainers were nervous about the attacks that occurred the night before, and many accusations flew around. In a while, though, most of them had calmed down, and they were able to make a decision on the duel of the day. It occurred to some of the trainers that, provided they could defeat the suspect of course, the duels could be used to test whether or not trainers were guilty of attacking at night. When they were finished voting, the announcer spoke once again.
“Greetings, trainers! Today, you have decided that the match is to be between: Red, the undefeated Kanto Champion, and Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket. It looks like this is going to be a grudge match, folks- those two have quite a history. Giovanni should proceed to the blue corner, and as is only natural, Red will take the red corner.”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...n/Giovanni.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...bution/Red.png
Giovanni and Red stared each other down from opposite sides of the battlefield. A fire burned in their eyes, and each had an intense desire to defeat the other.
“My old friend! I have been training so very hard to defeat you since you left. There is no chance that you can win now! I will give you one more chance: surrender now, or feel a world of pain!”
“…”
Though Giovanni taunted and threatened Red, the legendary trainer was silent as usual. It was rumored that those who he defeated, even the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four, had never seen him speak. In response to Giovanni’s threat, Red selected a Pokeball from his belt and held it out, goading the mob boss. Giovanni chuckled and selected his own Pokemon as well.
“Let the battle begin!”
“…”
“Go, Honchkrow!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...onchkrow-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...025Pikachu.png
Red had chosen to lead off with his Pikachu. It was agile, intelligent, and trained to be frighteningly powerful. None but those who had battled Red before could come to expect the incredible electric potential that the small rodent had. Giovanni’s Honchkrow looked formidable as well, but it would be at a distinct disadvantage.
Without having to be ordered by its trainer, Pikachu launched a powerful Thunderbolt straight at Honchkrow. The blast knocked the bird straight out of the sky. Honchkrow struggled to get back up, but it was strong enough to take to the air again.
“Honchkrow! Use Torment!”
Honchkrow screeched, and emanated a dark aura from its body which passed over Pikachu. As Pikachu tried to fight back with another Thunderbolt, it looked suddenly as if it felt an intense pain and nausea, and had to stop its attack.
“Now use Dark Pulse!”
Honchkrow now began firing blasts of dark energy from its mouth. Though Pikachu couldn’t attack with Thunderbolt, it was still far faster than Honchkrow, and it used its Agility to avoid the attacks.
“Taunt it, Honchkrow!”
Now Honchkrow did as told and screeched in Pikachu’s face as it swooped by, daring it to attack. Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt again, but felt the wave of nausea pass over it.
“Now, Dark Pulse!”
Honchkrow began readying up for another attack. Pikachu stole a quick glance at Red, who merely nodded at it. When Honchkrow launched the Dark Pulse, Pikachu sidestepped out of the way, and began surrounding itself in a massive aura of electricity.
“Honchkrow, get away! Into the air!”
Pikachu wasn’t about to let Honchkrow escape now. Using Volt Tackle, its most powerful attack, Pikachu leapt high into the air, still surrounded by the dense electrical field, and struck Honchkrow in the chest. The bird screeched in terrible pain, and dropped like a rock again- this time with Pikachu on top of it, surging an electrical current through its body. After what it deemed a sufficient amount of time, Pikachu hopped off of Honchkrow and the aura disappeared. Honchkrow was fried and unconscious.
“Honchkrow is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner!”
“You’ll pay for that… Go, Nidoking!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Nidoking-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...025Pikachu.png
As powerful as it was, Pikachu’s electric attacks would have no effect on the ferocious Nidoking. Giovanni had made the right choice.
As soon as Nidoking was out of the ball, Pikachu charged straight towards it with blinding Agility. It leapt into the air, and began spinning as its tail began to glow. At the peak of its jump, Pikachu struck Nidoking in the face with its Iron Tail attack. Nidoking roared in pain and swatted Pikachu away from it.
“Yes! Use Earthquake!”
Nidoking slammed the ground with its feet, causing it to shake violently. A small fissure shot towards Pikachu, and the earth spiked up underneath it, dealing a powerful blow.
“Hit it with Mega Punch!”
Pikachu tried using Thunderbolt on Nidoking as it advanced, but even against that level of voltage, Nidoking was completely grounded. While it was still in the air, Nidoking smashed Pikachu with its fist, sending it plummeting back into the ground. Red was calm, but the smirk no longer crossed his face.
“Now finish it with Horn Drill!”
Pikachu tried to use its Agility to escape, but Nidoking took its time and caused tremors again, throwing the electric mouse off its balance. Seizing the opportunity it was given, Nidoking struck Pikachu with its sharp front horn. Pikachu collapsed to the ground, unable to get back up.
“Pikachu is unable to battle. Nidoking is the winner!”
Red, still silent, recalled his Pikachu and sent out a new Pokemon, all in the same masterful motion.
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...Nidoking-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../196Espeon.png
Like Pikachu, Red’s Espeon looked to be trained to be incredibly powerful, and it was fully capable of battling without explicit orders.
“Nidoking, Earthquake!”
Before Nidoking could act, Espeon’s eyes began to glow, and it stopped Nidoking in its tracks with Psychic force. Then it lifted Nidoking into the air, and sent it hurtling into the cave ceiling. After the crash at the top, Espeon sent it plummeting right back down to the floor, followed by launching it backwards into the wall behind Giovanni.
“Gah! How can it be so powerful??”
Nidoking slid down the side of the wall and landed with a thump, too dazed and winded to rise and fight.
“Nidoking is unable to battle. Espeon is the winner!”
Cursing under his breath, Giovanni sent out his last Pokemon, as the smug look returned to Red’s face.
“Go! Kangaskhan! Gwahahaha! I saved the best for last!”
https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/...ngaskhan-1.png VS https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/.../196Espeon.png
“Kangaskhan, use Comet Punch!”
Kangaskhan balled up its claws into fists, mobilized itself, and started swinging wildly at Espeon. Espeon, who was quick on its feet, managed to avoid all attacks except the last. Kangaskhan caught it in a mistake and smashed it across a few yards.
Espeon looked at Red for guidance, and probably communicated telepathically with him. Regardless of the truth, Espeon formed a Reflect screen in from of it, and the next time Kangaskhan swung by with Comet Punch, its attack bounced straight off of the barrier.
“Fine then! Night Slash!”
Kangaskhan raked Espeon with its sharp claws, shattering the reflective screen and damaging Espeon significantly. Espeon now held Kangaskhan in place with Psychic energy, not wanting it to take another attack. Then, after glancing over at Red, the gem on its forehead began to glow.
“Kangaskhan, you must escape!”
Espeon launched a devastating Focus Blast attack, striking Kangaskhan with tremendous force. It was flung into the wall almost as powerfully as Nidoking was before. Nonetheless, Kangaskhan fell unconscious after the blow.
“Kangaskhan is unable to battle. Espeon is the winner! Since Giovanni is out of usable Pokemon, that means Red is the winner of this battle! Giovanni, unfortunately you have been eliminated from the competition.”
Giovanni was sullen, Red triumphant, and the rest of the group stood in awe of the huge power contained inside Red’s Pokemon. They began to get ready for the night.

It's long- equivalent to a short hiatus. Mewtwo's Retribution will be back on Sunday.
Hello
I should have warn you.
If I read your posts with a Schwarzeneggerian accent, you become a truly badass action hero.Quote:

Pizza, you've been awfully off-topic and spammy this game. I'd expect that from me.
What role do you have, I must wonder.
I'm mafia. I've been attacking you guys at night. You guys do put up a fight, I must admit, but in the end, I am the most powerful Poketrainer of them all.Quote:

Whoops, I completely forgot to vote :embarassed:
Skimmed the thread super quick, didn't see much to comment on, then within the span of a few seconds re-focused my mind onto work, and it never came up again.
On a general (somewhat irrelevant but queer) observation that just reoccurred to me now pertaining to last night phase's write up:
Nurse Joy was clearly engaged by a trainer but the announcer fellow states:
Food for thought :thinking:Quote:
The wild Pokemon of Cerulean Cave can be fierce. Perhaps it is wiser merely to stay in the rooms provided for you during the night.
@robbiecon I just meant the narrative not killing you after wiping out your pokemon, which it looked like Charizard was set to do to Renata. It's still, in the game sense, a kill.
Why B_ray over Seon?Quote:

At the moment, B Ray showed up to spare himself, and was a bit wordy about it. It's obvious why he was voting, pure self interest. It doesn't take quite so many words to express that concept, and the smiley faces literally seemed thrown in there to indicate emotion, which is a great way of faking emotions you're not feeling. I used to consider it a better-than-nothing scum tell until people began wising up about that, but B_Ray hasn't been around long enough to be familiar with the SkyNet system.
All right.
If B_Ray was Mafia (considering Geovanni is Team Rocket's boss), then I'm inclined to think that Seon in Mewtwo (Being the missing pokemon that Seon has)
I don't think B_Ray was mafia just because of his role; we've seen Maxie in the game, he's the Team Magma boss... does that automatically make him scum? You're typecasting based on someone's role, I doubt that this game is going to be as obvious as that.Quote:

It's not exactly indicative of guilt, since I've noticed that some of the people who've been attacked and been attacked have the same Pokémon I had, but it's something to bear in mind nonetheless.
I don't, he's acting scummy while maintaining the veneer of a newbie; really confusing. :PQuote:

Well I hope you are all very satisfied with your decisions. My true identity has been exposed, but you can clearly see I'm not amongst those who have been running about at night, attacking unsuspecting trainers like cowardly cheats. I wish you all miserable experiences in this cavern, and I hope that Red humiliates you all. If he can defeat me with only two Pokemon, then he can defeat everyone else here with one! Goodbye.
Something just piqued my interest when I looked back over the writeup.
Basically, we see Red's Espeon defeat Giovanni's Kangaskhan by using Focus Blast, an immensely powerful Fighting-type move; the problem is that Espeon is completely incapable of learning this move.
Espeon already has a fairly decent attacking movepool that includes Psychic, Signal Beam, Shadow Ball, Grass Knot and Hidden Power; while these allow it to defeat Ghost and Bug types easily enough, it doesn't really have an effective means of covering it's crippling weakness to Dark types and their darn Crunch/Pursuit attacks, a problem that would be alleviated if it had access to Focus Blast.
The reason that this piques my interest is because I noticed that the entranced Charizard managed to shrug off an electric attack during the night phase, something that is entirely outside the realm of it's abilities since such an attack should have knocked the 'zard out; what if the Espeon was similarly entranced and thus was capable of using attacks that it could not usually learn?
I think it's possible we found a mafioso, to be honest; Saregona's weird behaviour, his overly powerful Espeon and the liklihood of him owning the Charizard that attacked last night are all pretty incriminating. It's either that or it's a massive indiscrepancy from Chaotix, but I feel that it's something to consider for the next phase anyway.
