MISSION- Manticores arent from the Shadow Realm.. are they?
Seems like Manticores have escaped from their realm into the Pokemon world! O.o I need you to get a DNA sample of one of the Manticore and bring it back here. Once you've done that, Ill give you some special badges. ^.^ Put them on the Manticores to send them back to their own realm. Be careful tho. There are a few poachers out there that want to capture the Manticores for money. You'll haveta fight 5 poachers each with 3 Pokemon.
Pokemon: Any Dark, Fire or Poison Type. No 2nd Stages or Legends.
Rewards: A medium-sized Manticore plooshie, $3,000-5,000 and maybe more if ya do a good job.

WHA-! ...
*Grumbles as I stand up and brush the dirt and crumbs off my head and cloak*
Oho, a mission! And a Level 4 mission at that!
*Reads the brief*
Sorry, but I have to fail this. I expect great things from a high-level mission, and this doesn't quite measure up. The story was good, for the most part, but I take serious issue with the battles.
Battle 1 - Pichu is weak. I'm not sure it could've survived Dodrio's assault. That's mostly a matter of opinion though, unlike Luxio vs Vigoroth. You have the Vigoroth lead with Slash, reducing Luxio to yellow health (under 50%). Then, after a Swagger (attack +2 levels) Vigoroth attacks again.... reducing Luxio to yellow health! That should have been a knockout.
Battle 2 - Pichu is weak! Huntail's Bite should do more than just "yellow life" damage. I know some people have favorites, but try to be realistic on what Pichu can endure.
Battle 3 - No major issues with the battle itself, but remember that Ghost-types don't have any weakness or resistance to Electric attacks.
Battle 4 - Again, pretty good work here. No issues that I can see.
Battle 5 - Plan on a major rewrite. Remember, Nasty Plot raises SPECIAL attack, but Night Slash is PHYSICAL. The trainer was foresighted enough to use held items but forgot this fact? Next is Mismagius. Why Astonish and not Shadow Ball? The latter move is far stronger. Wailord -- Pichu is already very weak from two Astonish attacks, how does it survive Water Pulse? Then you have the trainer switch first to the weaker move, Water Gun, and follow up with Hydro Pump. Dragonite, Dragonite, Dragonite.... Do you realize Outrage was not only made a Physical Attack, but also increased to 120 base power? Plus, as a Dragon/Flying-type, Dragonite has double resistance to Grass-type Mega Drain.
I know you have to win all your battles, but PLEASE be realistic on your endurance levels.
One last question - Is there some way to get a DNA sample without killing the Manticore? Maybe a tranquilizer dart, or sleeping powder, or some weird third way only the lab techs could think of?
