@Pikmin Eye

I hope my post isn't bull crap. ^^;;;

Um. Hm. Well. What I do next depend a whole lot on how successful Yasha's strategy was. Haha.

Hm. Logic dictates it should be my turn now. Er. Yeah. Alright. I think I can do things. Hm.

Edit: Though, not right now. Got to leave, right now. Just noting because I'm seeing multiple people that might be waiting for me right now. Just in case. Haha.

@hatakekuro Anything can be attempted! Whether it succeeds or not is entirely up to Pikmin and how he sees the situation.

@samreaper Any idea where Turbine went? I'd hate to move forward with an odd man party, but I'd less rather make you wait. Hopefully someone fills out that application!

@hatakekuro Yeah, I see why you are unsure of this. A move was used at close range helped by you running directly into it. Add that it was 4X effective, mix with somehow dodging all but one. You end up with confusion stew.

Sorry for the delay, I had to really think about how this would work. This is surprisingly a tricky one, seeing as its an ultra effective scenario. A few things to note, your Speed Boost does not trigger during an attack, but after the round. Rock blast was still a part of that round, so your speed was base still. I dislike how easily you made it sound to dodge all of that.

So for the sake of making this RP still enjoyable, how about you got hit by two of the rocks, but barely held on? This is much more believable while not denying you of your brilliant plan. Considering the type match up, I'm being gracious to let you still go on fighting. Other than your first paragraph, you will have to wait till Charley's post to see how that turned out.

As always, I am willing to discuss if you have any problems on this.

I'll make the edits in the morning. Sleep is calling me.

Sorry about that.

Found some time.

Actually it just occurred to me. While the attack wouldn't be super-effective, Lulu's size and weight outclass Dwebble's so wouldn't it just send it flying back anyway?

@whimsley

No idea, just vanished but its fine with me to continue. I'll be able to handle going solo for now as I'm pretty good at coming up with stuff on my own to do/

@hatakekuro The reason I didn't mention the knock back is that generally rock types are hard to move around. The fact that they weigh into the ground is the reason normal types don't work very well. Also, I mentioned that Dwebble braced itself each time you hit it, digging in to prevent you from pushing around on the ground. It also came down to angles, you attacked from a higher elevation, which actually would help anchor Dwebble into the ground causing more friction. The end result is you helped prevent it from suffering knock back, by using height advantage. Kind of why flying is so bad against rock types.

This was a long explanation to say based on how you described the attack, knock back was impossible. Did I miss a point or otherwise overlook a possibility?

Sorry for how that came out. I've been really stressed out with home life recently.

You guys work fast at posting on this battle. Mine is up now, so enjoy what happens next.

Would you be against if I was able to use Dwebble's shell for a last second thing?

Can you feel the fucking painfully Shounen vibes emanating from my post.

@hatakekuro What kind of last second thing? I'm open to ideas if you got some.

@hatakekuro What kind of last second thing? I'm open to ideas if you got some.

I was wondering if Yanma could slam the shell at the last second at the first rock and the use that as a chance to escape.

Disrupting an attack using a bigger rock? It sounds possible, but it's easier said than done. Don't forget Yanma is trying to do a quick turn while doing a fly by from a Quick Attack. Given the scenario, I just don't see you quickly turning and accurately throwing it to disrupt the first of many rocks.

You went all in on a move you knew wouldn't work, leaving yourself open to a counter attack to expose the bug. I assumed you were pulling a sacrifice for the team, to trade Yanma fainting for Dwebble's shell. That's the feel your decision gave to me, but maybe I read it wrong.

Oh. Well I'll be posting tomorrow. I'm beat.

Posts will be tomorrow. I'm making a short one tonight to address Pokédex scans and other miscellaneous things that might need description.
