Mini RP - Kanto Badge Run (Reno)

[Reno Vantas]

Tsuki would do her best to evade the descending rocks, managing to keep one or two from slamming into her. What she could not avoid were the massive swarm that the rest of the rocks consisted of. Buried underneath the sudden appearance of these meteorites, a single claw would manage to paw its way out of the pile before going limp. Seems that bit of luck had run out.

Wordlessly returning the Weavile, the trainer would begin to examine his remaining Pokemon. Based off casual observation, it appeared he might only have one realistic choice to go with. Well, at least he was used to the increased Gravity. "Hook. Time to lay the hammer down." Reno muttered, releasing the shiny Kingler as it sent itself flying towards the Rhyperior. "Very impressive. But hows this for you?"

While the crab was certainly slowed a bit by the gravity well it had appeared in, recent experience was allowing him to adapt quickly to powering forward towards its opponent. Hauling its larger claw back as the limb began to glow, Hook would leap into the air and attempt to bring the Crabhammer slamming down onto the Rhyperior. Two could play at the abuse Gravity game.

Watching the Thunder Punch come flying in felt similar to watching a bomb drop down towards a target. Just this sense of inevitability that would climax upon impact. Worst thing was, usually Reno had a strategy for just such occasions with his Pokemon. Unfortunately, he barely used Hook. All he could do was meekly order, "De-defend yourself, Hook." The response was something that Reno had not expected. The Kingler would suddenly flare with energy, a slight shimmering shield appearing around the Pincer Pokemon as it moved to evade the Thunder Punch. While he moved slowly compared to the punch, Hook watched as the Rhyperior's attack was deflected off of the shield and sent away from the Water type due to the slight change in angle provided by its movement.

"Evidently, he does that thinking on his feet part better than me." Was Reno's only response, staring in awe at what had just happened. Kingler learned Protect naturally. Who would've guessed?  

[Reno Vantas]

"Well, want me to make it interesting then?" Reno griped at Blue, glancing over at Hook with a crazed grin on his face. "Time to make a little wager. What are the chances that my Kingler manages to catch his claw perfectly on your Rhyperior over your Rhyperior running down my Kingler?"

"Guillotine. Lets have fun, Hook." Reno chuckled out, staring with anticipation as he watched Hook wind up and prepare to ram that claw straight into the Rhyperior's throat perfectly, using its own momentum to take the great beast down. Well, hopefully. Otherwise it was going to be a bug on a windshield.

(1-3 for critical success and knock out. Otherwise, new Pokemon time.)  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno would let out a manic cackling as he watched the Rhyperior get hurled across the room in some variation of a judo throw. Well, as close as a crustacean could manage at least. Either way, he got to watch as the Rock type nearly obliterated the wall it impacted.

"You mad, bro?" Reno shot at Blue as he began to bark orders, a smug grin on his face as he watched the Energy Ball slam into the Kingler and send him flying into the wall. Glancing over at Hook, he could see him stumbling back to his feet but he seemed to holding his main claw a little limply. Alright, so the big hits were a bust right now. Time for something a little different.

Reno would give a snap of his fingers before pointing at Hook. "Mud Shot time, my friend!" Reno crowed, watching as the Pincer Pokemon quickly gathered up material from the ruined walls and fired it out in a vision obscuring arc in front of himself. The Mud Shot would....spread out much more quickly than expected, falling into a large swath in front of the Alakazam to reveal Hook charging forward with a Slam to hammer into the Alakazam with his full body weight.  

[Reno Vantas]

Hook would only manage a half-hearted Slam before the Psychic blast sent him flying backwards, slamming back into the wall again before the Kingler grumbled at the Alakazam. Slowly getting up and beginning to limp towards the Psychic type again, Reno would quietly palm a Pokeball and return his Water type. "He wouldn't have lasted a second out there after that. But this one should do the trick." Reno told the Gym Leader, tossing out another ball before clamping his hands over his ears.

Emerging from the ball would Nova, and the Volcarona looked to fully prepared already to fight the Alakazam. The Bug type would begin to vibrate slightly before a piercing ringing would erupt through the room. While normally he would have a witty response, Reno was too busy trying to not be deafened by his own attack.  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno watched the Psychic blast slam into the somewhat cocky Volcarona, wincing as he realized what was about to happen. "Oh feel that originality. It wounds me so. Nova, do your thing." Reno yawned out, watching as the now angered Volcarona sent off a Fiery Dance. With the flaming scales now sweeping through the air, he hoped that the cover would provide him with an advantage for his next move.

(roll for attack up. 1 is yes, all others are no)  

[Reno Vantas]

Watching the switch with a slight groan, Reno felt himself snap into an idea of what he could do to counter the Arcanine in front of him. I mean, he wasn't going to be the one to wimp out and simply swap his way to a type advantage. Not today. Directing his telepathy, Reno would communicate and calm Nova down from her impending rage-induced firestorm before shouting, "String Shot!"

Using a flurry of stick strings from her mouth, Nova wouldn't be able to actually fire them directly at the Arcanine as the Fiery Dance was still drifting through and would've set the majority of the strings on fire. However, enough would make their way through to try and bind the Arcanine slightly, while the rest simply scattered across the battlefield. "Well. Not exactly what I hoped for but it should work." Reno said, sheepishly looking at the results of the String Shot.
