Will you be a classic trainer? A criminal? A farmer? Choose your destiny on Legends Rising.
Oh, great. Fuckity great. Not only did the Alomomola have a more powerful attack than either the Mantine or the Lapras had had, but it was a fucking cleric as well. All the effort put into knocking the damn thing to half health was for nothing because in one moment it was back up to full. At least its hit on Fleurir went just slightly too high above her head.
It was more than a little annoying to try to take out a team when one of them knew how to heal. Heal Pulse couldn't heal the user, though, just their allies...still, it was possible the Alomomola had a self-healing move of her own. This is what Senara got for having such a self-heal happy team herself. Hah. Fuck karma.
"Nous devons d'abord nous débarrasser du guérisseur. Tout sur le Mamanbo."
Baby Girl looked over the edge, into the water, hissed in irritation, and dove in to try and drive her claws into the unsuspecting weirdly-hand-shaped fish.
SCRATCH!
Baby Girl uses Feint Attack!
[Moderate Attack (60), +15 Accuracy]
Fleurir looked into the water and then back at Senara. She had gotten a good hit on the Lapras using the same element of surprise, but she was also still very weak. Using Leaf Blade instead of Mega Drain, and then if she didn't dodge right, was going to be her doom. But Senara met her Grovyle's eyes, and sighed. "Désolé mon cher. Tout ou rien."
Fleurir grunted, shrugged, and waited right over the spot in the water Baby Girl had dove in after the Alomomola, leafs glowing and ready to strike once it reacted to the first hit.
The Sableye’s sharp claws raked the Alomomola, and he cried out and swam away as fast as he could thereafter. Despite the Grovyle’s attempt to slash at the fleeing foe, the fishy Pokemon was just fast enough to avoid the attack. Hiro, though, was already ordering out something else probably just as frustrating. “Aqua Ring!” he called. A glow from the pool would alert those who could see it as to what was happening. The Alomomola clocked himself in a veil of water that slowly started to repair those claw scuffs. “Mantine! Wing Attack Grovyle!” Hiro went on. Now that the Grovyle was in his territory, the Mantine went barreling faster at her through the water.
Rain Ended.

Mantine: 10 HP

Yep, there it was, the self-healing ability. Fuck.
Baby Girl pulled up out of the water and shot a frantic screech at the passing Mantine. It was quick, but just--just--not quick enough! Fleurir managed to kick off against the pool of the floor and leap out of the way, breathing hard as she landed next to Baby Girl on the platform. That said, they had gotten the Alomomola once. They could do it again. Baby Girl leaped to the next closest platform and, again, dove in to strike it in the water.
SCRATCH!
Baby Girl uses Feint Attack!
[Moderate Attack (60), +15 Accuracy]
Fleurir was slower to get to the same location, wounds slowing her down, and she gave another aching glance at Senara. Healing or power, it was one or the other. Senara bit her lip...and shook her head. "Un de plus. Allez, si vous le frappez en même temps, ça va baisser. Si vous manquez, je vais utiliser une potion, d'accord?"
Fleurir sighed, lighting up the leafs at her ankles, and dove in with a direct kick..
That Sableye was on a mission, wasn’t it? Claws once more raked the Alomomola, but he just barely managed to avoid the slash of the Grovyle yet again. Hiro wasn’t going to go on the defensive for it just yet, though. “Alomomola, Hydro Pump on Sableye! Mantine! Wing Attack on Grovyle!” he called again.
Alomomola looked Baby Girl in the eyes and immediately released the burst of forceful water back in retaliation for that claw damage. The Mantine meanwhile, leaped up and once more attempted to strike Fleur.
Rain Ended.

Mantine: 10 HP

While under the water, Baby Girl had few options in avoiding the attack, and none of them mattered when it came rushing at her before she even had the chance to consider them. She took the plume of water right to the chest and sent flying backwards through the water until she hit the wall, gargled, and then clawed her way back up onto the ledge. She hissed and glanced backward. Senara winced. But...meanwhile, Fleurir did not come back up immediately. Instead she floated back to the surface belly-up, spirals practically visible in her eyes. She was a hundred percent out. Senara cursed quietly, drawing out Fleurir's pokeball and clicking the button.
"You did so good, Fleurir! Return!"
While not a complete lie, the fact still stood that the Grovyle had missed almost every hit she'd attempted. She would need accuracy training...or a different purpose on the team.
Oh well. Pocketing the pokeball she pulled another out, this one decorated with teal-blue rhinestones. She bounced it in her hand once before tossing it out. The entire platform sank and rose under the weight of the very Snorlax as he materialized before it steadied again. Polochon tilted his head at the scene before him. Huh. An honest battle? His trainer? Consider him shocked. He gave Senara a cheeky little grin.
"Oh, chut! Si vous gagnez cela pour moi, je vous achèterai un gâteau." Senara sighed. "Maintenant, bâillez à cette Alomomola, si elle ne peut pas guérir, c'est beaucoup moins un problème." Polochon snickered, turning towards the fray, and...gave a loooong yawn.
YAAAAAAAWN. Polochon uses Yawn!
[Must roll >75, Will Cause SLEEP]
Baby Girl grunted and shook her spectral fur off as best she could. If that hit landed on the Alomomola it would make her job much easier, but was the plan the same? Senara nodded down to her. "Continuez. Le guérisseur doit partir." Baby Girl sighed, stretched her claws and leaped back over the platforms at the goddamn Alomomola once again.

As the Grovyle came up fainted, the Mantine broke from the water and did a front flip before diving back down again. The Alomomola didn’t breach the surface. Hiro didn’t say anything, just waited, and sure enough another Pokemon was out on the field again. Was…. was that a Snorlax? It looked more like a Munchlax, huh. That was kind of cool, actually. No time to think about that now, though. Oop, more Kalosian. “Get ready guys!” he called.
Perhaps that was the wrong thing to encourage for it actually brought the Alomomola to the surface very briefly to see what was happening— and then immediately caused him to yawn a little back at the Snorlax. Mwah… Shaking his head, he wouldn’t sleep yet and quickly put some distance between himself and the Snorlax (and subsequently avoided the claws of the Sableye in turn).
“Alomomola! Scald the Snorlax!” Hiro called. The Alomomola was quick to spew the superheated liquid. “Mantine Water Pulse on Sableye!” Mantine broke the surface and released a reverberation of water at the Sableye in turn.
Rain Ended.

Mantine: 10 HP

His sleepy sound had gotten to the Alomomola, and it drifted away just long enough for Polochon to get a little cocky. It didn't last long though before a burst of burning hot water shot out from the water and hit his smug little face. He waddled back sputtering and growling. Wow, RUDE. Senara snorted behind her hand, partially feeling bad, but also feeling the karmic justice of the usual haughty Snorlax getting a face-full.
"Vous voulez réessayer sur le Démanta, chéri? Ou voulez-vous dormir?"
Polochon grunted, throwing a glare over his shoulder, and then pointedly looked toward the Mantine and, once more, released a looooong, sleeeeeepy yaaaaawn...
YAAAAAAAWN. Polochon uses Yawn!
[Will Cause SLEEP]
Baby Girl took a spin as the water came up around her, dizzying her for a moment before she caught herself again with a hiss. She was low again. To heal, or not to heal...Senara swallowed and pointed towards the drowsy Alomomola: "Frappez-la, puis soignez le prochain round!" Baby Girl nodded, teeth flashing as she dove in for a swipe.
“Mantine stay under the water!” Hiro’s order came, and the Mantine did just that avoiding the yawn that turn. The Alomomola had just enough awakeness then to dive deeper into the pool as well to avoid Baby Girl’s claws but rather quickly fell asleep thereafter. Oof, at least it was deeper down in the water rather than just outright there and attackable, but still. “Mantine! Water Pulse on Sableye!” he called. The awake member of the battle pair burst forth and released another Water Pulse thereafter.

Mantine: 10 HP

Polochon let out a small huff, and sat down on the platform he was on. His head leaned forward, drooped, and he quickly fell fast asleep. Lights fluttered up from the faint burns on his fur and he was swiftly healed to his full health.
ZZZZZ. Polochon uses Rest! [Polochon is Asleep, Health Returned to Max]
Baby Girl managed to slip through the worst of the attack, but the rings of bubbles still sent her spiraling through the water enough to grow dizzy. She pulled herself back up, staggering over the platform, unable to shake the spinning feeling from her head. Shit. She could hurt herself like this, and she was already so weak. It was a waste of her move but...she had to heal. "Régénérez, petite fille!"
...
Baby Girl uses Recover! p_
[No Damage from Confusion] [Heals 50% of Max HP (+5HP)]
As the Snorlax fell asleep and the Sableye managed to recover some energy, Hiro grinned a little. Senara had really put quite a few techniques together, hadn’t she? It had been a while since he’d had such a fun battle. Still, with Alomomola asleep, there was only so much he could do. “Water Pulse the Snorlax, Mantine!” he called. The Mantine broke from the surface and flew over the sleeping creature before blasting down confusing water again.

Mantine: 10 HP

The water hit Polochon, being that he could not move, but it did not wake him. He just continued to sleep in his spot much to Senara's amusement. But that was part of the fun. Cupping her hands over her mouth she shouted at the sleeping Pokemon:
"Ronfler, Polochon!"
At once, the still sleeping Polochon's head tilted back, and a horribly loud snore ripped through the air. It rippled the water and through the air, the sound reverberating right in the direction of the awake and moving Mantine
ZZZZZ. Polochon uses Snore!
[Moderate Attack (50), <33 to cause Flinching] [Flinch Chance Roll:]
“Higher up!” Hiro called, and the Mantine broke the surface raising up high to avoid any damage taken while that Snorlax, sleeping or otherwise, took while confused. Meanwhile, the Sableye would just barely miss the sleeping Alomomla and crash into the bottom of the pool instead from confusion. Meanwhile, above. “Mantine! Psybeam on Snorlax!” The great sea pancake came downwards and shot a bright beam of light at the Snorlax in response.

Mantine: 10 HP

Urgh, two more fuck-ups in a row! Confusion could be such a pain. Literally. Baby Girl winced as she smacked herself into the side of one of the platforms instead of her target, and Polochon...well, he was still asleep, so she wasn't too worried about him; even as the beam of light hit him he just groaned and swatted the air like a fly had landed on his nose mid-nap. Wait, did Snorlax even have noses?...off topic.
Still, he only had one move he could really get off while in this state, so once more with feeling! This time, though, towards the Alomamola. "Ronfler, Polochon!"
ZZZZZ. Polochon uses Snore!
[Moderate Attack (50), <33 to cause Flinching] [Flinch Chance Roll:]
[Confusion Damage Roll, <33 to Hit] p_ [Polochon takes no Confusion damage!] (also, nice)
Baby Girl grunted and steadied herself as best she could on the platform, once more going in to try and hit the Alomamola--hopefully with less self-harm in the process.
Alomomola would just then be waking up to hear a loud Snore reverberate through the depths of the water. Yelping, he swam sideways narrowly avoiding Baby Girl's attack in the process. "Alomomola! You ok?" Hiro called already knowing that the dense Pokemon was already on the heal. That aqua ring served him well after all. The latter still grumbled a bit anyways. "Mantine! Water Pulse on Snorlax!" The Mantine raised up again and sent crashing pulses of water at the Snorlax once more.

Just as the rings of water came rushing towards him, Polochon's whole body suddenly jerked, and, although his eyes didn't open, he was suddenly awake! With as much grace as a five-hundred pound creature could muster he bounced out of the way, avoiding the attack entirely. Senara breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, he was about half-health, right? And nothing these guys could do could knock him into the red right away. So she could try...ugh, but all his offensive moves required him to be asleep! So who was more of an annoyance right now? "Baillons cette crêpe pour dormir, Polochon!"
Polochon tilted his head, staring down the Mantine, then...yawned. Loudly.
Aurgh, but he'd also hurt himself in the process, dammit! Before she could shout a warning, Polochon took a step back too far and slipped off the platform, hitting his side as he fell into the water. Baby Girl didn't surface just yet. She had a goddamn grudge against this Alomamola now!! She was going to get it if it was the last thing she did!!

"Stay underwater you two!" was Hiro's call, and the Mantine and Alomomola did just that. The prior avoided seeing the yawn in the process. The later was easily able to maneuver around the Sableye as it came at him again as well. There was a particular glow of the Alomomola that assured everyone he was still healing. "Alomomola! Hydro Pump!" Hiro called right after. A blast of water came breaking towards the Sableye again. "Mantine! Water Pulse again!" The Mantine leapt from the water and shot reverberations of water at the Snorlax again.

Urgh, at the very least, Polochon wasn't confused anymore, but he also wasn't looking so good. The rings of water battered him about beneath the surface until he managed to grab hold of a platform and drag himself back up, growling irritably from being left so soggy. Senara bit her lip. Alright, too close for comfort, she had to heal him up.
"Reposez-vous et récupérez!"
Not needing to be told twice, Polochon dropped down on the spot, instantly falling asleep. His wounds began to heal and he started to lightly snore. It wasn't an ideal use of a turn, but this was what they were doing, now, apparently.
ZZZZZ. Polochon uses Rest! [Polochon's HP returned to Full! (+6HP)]

Baby Girl hates this fish. So much that she ROLLED WELL.
A smug smile crossed the Alomomola's face as he swam around the Sableye's Feint Attack yet again. The water was his territory. You couldn't so easily forget that here. Another glow, and another assurance that he was only getting stronger. Meanwhile above water, Hiro was watching the Snorlax fall asleep again and exhailing softly. Well, hm. "Alomomola, Scald on Sableye! Mantine use Water Pulse on Sablye too!" While the Snorlax was resting, the other two Pokemon turned their attention to Baby Girl instead, launching attacks her way: one searing hot and the other reverberating with sound.

Both Pokemon turned their attention to Baby Girl, leaving the sleeping Snorlax to his own devices. Hmph! Senara wasn't going to let her baby suffer, though, not after taking two more hard hits. The poor dear managed to pull herself out of the water, dazed and singed, but not badly enough to be suffering for it after-the-fact. Rather than stick around she leaped to the platform Polochon was on and hid behind him, just as Senara called out her next two attacks:
"Ronfler, Polochon! Défendez-la! Petite fille, récupère ta santé!"
The sound-waves ripped through the air, rippling the water as it went soaring toward the Alomomola. This pain-in-the-ass fish was going to get it, and get it fucking HARD.
ZZZZZ. Polochon uses Snore!

Yeash that snore was loud! Alomomola even cried from it a little even as the glow of his scales assured everyone he was continuing to slowly recover. Hiro was more concerned about the healing of that Sableye, but with her using the Snorlax as a... uh... meat shield, there was less they could do immeddiately. "Both switch your attacks to Snorlax, Alomomola Scald! Mantine! Water Pulse!" he called. Once more a rush of water and boiling water went splashing forward this time at the sleeping Pokemon.
