Hi! Welcome to Akumu! If you don't know the Battle System, now is the time to request a tutorial to explain how things work in the guild!
The room would continue to be eerily quiet. The boy was talking to himself, supposedly. A faint muffled whisper and a strong breeze would sweep past Brian. Where had the breeze come from? Wasn't this an enclosed room? A soft tapping as a slightly older male emerged the opposite side of the room. He was wearing all black, wearing something similar to a tuxedo, a top hat on his head and a cane in one hand. The dark haired person would smile, tipping his hat in a friendly gesture.
"Are you ready to begin? Or would you like to skip straight to the Battle?" the person would ask, absentmindedly rubbing a pokeball at his waist. Who to choose, who to choose. This new /student/ didn't seem to be particularly rash but only time would tell exactly what type of person this new kid could be.

A tutorial would be great!
Brian was a bit surprised when a strong breeze swept past him. Wait a minute. This room was supposed to be enclosed...wasn't it? He wouldn't put it past the Academy administrators to make hidden windows in the room. A soft tapping caught his attention, and he looked up as a slightly older man walked into the room from the opposite side. Brian returned the man's friendly gesture with a nod of his own, running his fingers lightly over Purr's Pokeball. "I'm ready to begin," he answered the man's question. He wanted to be familiar with the battle system, and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask how it worked before jumping into the battle.
[So time to explain a thing or two about battling. I'll be doing this step by step as the battle proceeds.]
[Now as you have likely already see at the beginning of the battle, both participants will post the stats for their Pokemon. Akumu Academy uses a Turn Based combat system. This means that we each take turns Attacking and Defending just to be clear. So when I attack, you defend. When you attack, I defend.]
[Turn order is decided by the SPD stat. Whichever Pokemon has more SPD will take the first Attack Turn. Thusly the Pokemon with the lower SPD will take the first Defense Turn. In the event both Pokemon have the same SPD, they will BOTH Attack at the same time. This is for the First Turn only. Whichever Pokemon HITS will take their Defense Turn after and whichever Pokemon Missed will try to Attack again.]
[Now my SPD is 8 while yours is 7,this means I will attack first and you will Defend.]
[Aim is decided by the roll of 1D20 using the "Post Action" function. Its fairly straight forward. If you roll higher than me your Attack will hit. If you roll lower your Attack will miss.]
[Additionally please note that "Defending" refers to blocking, dodging, or otherwise attempting to make the opponent "miss". It does not involve using any of your Moves.]
[Now recently we added an additional mechanic called the "Aim Modifier". This is a static number which we will add to your Accuracy Roll when attacking. You begin with an A.M of 5. This means for example if you roll a 10 it will become 10+5 and will be a 15 during damage calculation. I'll explain Damage calculation in my next post. Any questions so far?]
With a nod of agreement, the male would tap the ground with his cane. A glow from one of the balls as a red light emerged and a pokemon appeared. A Delibird would yawn, shaking it's whole body from side to side. A mischievous grin would form as he saw the trainer in front of him. Oh yes. This would be fun fun fun. Time to play!
Brian watched as his opponent tapped the ground with his cane, and blinked when the man released his Pokemon. This would be the first Pokemon battle he'd ever done, so he was hoping he would do well. Sure, he'd seen them on TV when he had a chance, but participating in one was a whole other matter. This should be interesting. When a Delibird was released, Brian smiled a bit. He'd run into a few Delibird before, and he liked the little bird. Pulling his own Pokeball from his belt, he tossed it into the air. "Let's do this, Purr!" he said. With a flash, his Espurr materialized onto the field, and when she saw her opponent, immediately got into a fighting stance.
The Delibird would shift from a fighters stance to that of a charging one as it would come at it's opponent using its full speed. After all, this was a battle of speed and this pokemon had won as he would reach into the bag that he always carried and would drop not one, but three different package as he passed by the feet of the Espurr. If the kitty wasn't fast enough it would find itself caught up in the explosion was the Delibird would do an over exaggerated roll as he would land back on his feet.
A smile on his face as looked to see what damage he would do as each box glowed and pulsed the same hue.
If it hit, this move could be a huge boost or a very painful ....lesson.
PRESENT = Con. Type Cute = Sp attack formula
The move Present is an unpredictable move. The user throws a present in the form of a bomb. It can either restore hp or take them away. If you roll an even number, the present will heal the opponent. If you roll an odd number, the present will damage the opponent.
Critical hit: Add 1 accuracy to the Dice roll for either attack/or defense depending on which one you roll it on. Since, this is attack, +1 to attack rolls (Does not count for counter-attacks, something I will discuss later).
Dmg Sp Formula:
The Sp Formula uses Sp. attacks & Sp. Defense.
So, in this case. First we look at the differences in the dice roll, also called the accuracy roll.
(20 - 9 = 11 differences)
Then we look at the differences of Sp. attack (mine vs. yours) Sp. Defense
(7 - 8 = -1 differences)
Put it together and it's 10dmg, but since it's an even number ...you would be recovered for 10 dmg points, per the rule of Present. Lucky you)
Brian watched as the Delibird shifted from a fighting stance to charging at Purr, using its superior speed to close the distance quickly. He was a bit surprised; he'd never seen a Delibird move so fast, and Purr didn't even have time to react before the Ice/Flying type dropped three Presents on the Espurr. The Psychic type couldn't dodge, and Brian was worried she might be seriously hurt, but when the smoke cleared, he was glad to see that she was still standing. In fact, it looked like the Delibird's Present attack hadn't done anything to her. He gave a silent sigh of relief before looking at the Delibird again to see the little red-and-white bird smiling, and Brian couldn't help but smile back. "Alright, Purr, our turn!" he said. "Use Yawn! The Psychic-type leaped forward and let out a huge yawn, making purple bubbles float through the air toward the Delibird. All Brian could do now was hope they hit and put it to sleep.
The pokemon chuckles as he saw what his little stunt had done. The pokemon and trainer in question was expecting pain, and found themselves completely safe and not harmed at all. It was so funny, so delightfully funny.
That was the thought running through his head as the pokemon in front of him would suddenly yawn. Not the type of yawn that seemed to hiding a smile or trying to cover up anger but the type of sleepy yawn that meant that one was just a step from boredom.
Tut, tut, tut ...that couldn't do.
The delibird would actually glare at his opponent then.
"Deli...bird ..deli"
(Now is not the time to ........wnnnnnn!)
"Delli?"
(Huh?)
The pokemon would slap his own cheeks to try and keep from falling underneath the spell of yawn.
Brian saw the Delibird chuckling when the attack hit Purr, and he realized this one must have a Jolly nature. He couldn't help but grin as the Ice/Flying-type saw Purr yawn, turning its smile into a glare before the Yawn took effect. Brian and Purr both chuckled when the Delibird slapped his own cheeks to try and keep awake, but they knew it was no choice. Once Yawn hit, it was sleepy time for anyone it hit, people or Pokemon alike. "Looks like ye're feeling the effects of Yawn, Delibird," Brian said, a chuckle in his voice, waiting to see what it would do now.
The pokemon hearing those words would help perk him up more than anything else. His eyes would lock on his opponent as for a moment, the sleepiness would flee from the pokemon's eyes. The only thing on his mind at that moment was pure rage as he would try to stand up steadily.
How dare you try to end the show.
The thought ran through the pokemon's mind ...how dare you try to stop me.
Though he would tilt a bit before he would reach into his bag and pull out another present.
"Delibird ..Deli.."
(How kind, you gave me a gift)
"Delibird ..Delibird."
(I shall return the gift)
The pokemon declares as he throws the present at the pokemon's feet. It was a last ditch effort before sleep overtook him.
See if you can figure out the damage for this one?
Based on what the differences are for the dice roll (19 - 5 = 14) and the difference in Sp. attack vs Sp. defense (7 - 8 = -1), am I correct in assuming that Purr took 13 damage, since your roll was an odd number? Or was that a one-hit KO? I can edit the post if need be.
Brian could tell that the Delibird was trying valiantly to fight off the sleepiness he was feeling, and Brian's words apparently gave it just enough energy to pull another present from his bag and throw it at Purr's feet, once again giving the Psychic-type no time to dodge. Brian's slight grin turned to a worried look as he heard Purr cry out in pain, the Present apparently doing damage this time. Brian knew it was a last-ditch effort on the Delibird's part, trying to take Purr out with him, but he was hoping that Purr could still continue. When the smoke from the explosion cleared, it revealed Purr, still standing, though just barely. Purr can't take another hit like that, Brian thought, his mind racing to try and come up with something that would secure him the win. "Purr, can ye still battle?" he asked, and the Espurr nodded. "Alright, use Scratch!"
(Almost perfectly right, but you forgot the last attack as a 20. That meant a critical roll, which adds +1 to the attack roll. Thus you are right about it hitting, bu the damage is 14hp. Almost a one hit K.O, but not quite)
That was a good one to teach that stupid pokemon not to rain on his parade ..if only ...if only ...that pokemon was brought down all the way.
That would be so funny, but he couldn't tell right then.
The smoke hide what he had done.
Yet....
The explosion was so beautiful, too bad, he couldn't see that pokemon's fall. The yawn took full effect as his eyes closed and the pokemon fell landing on his belly as the smoke billows in front of him. Snoring and dreaming of the pokemon's in front of him defeated, the Delbird would not be attacking any time soon, or at least not until it woke up.
SLEEP = [Higher Accuracy roll with a move that induces sleep]
Once inflicted with this status, the opponent will sleep for a maximum of 5 turns, if they are unable to roll an accuracy roll higher than their opponent for all 5 turns. Until that time, the opponent will hit their foe with their attack/sp attack base stat. This means that there will be no inclusion of the accuracy rolls, or even an opponents defense. They will literally take the full brunt of the attack, without any way to defend against it. This goes for all attacks, and if one is poison or any such other status effect it will cancel out sleep, except for Infatuation.
Darn, I did forget about the Crit roll. So with the sleep status, how will the battle play out?
Brian could see that Purr was struggling to stay on her paws, but she was obedient as she ran forward with her paws growing white. Within just a few moments, her Scratch attack had hit the sleeping Delibird, and Brian hoped he could at least do a little damage before the Ice/Flying-type woke up again. He was hoping to lower its HP enough that he could win before Purr fainted.
(You did the right thing, you attack as normal, but I think you attack twice. The post should have had the results of the first one, not another attack ...because you missed and the pokemon woke up. So, this might not be pretty.)
The attack missed by a hair's breathe ...the Delibird had rolled a bit in it's sleep and the scratch would deeply gouge the ground right next to it's neck. The Delibird hadn't lost a feather in it's sleep as it would roll a bit to the left to reveal underneath it ...another horrible surprise, and continue it's roll out of harm's way ...leaving the Espurr to try and avoid another present left behind.
A smirk and a evil glint in the eye of the escaping bird. It would seem that the Delibird had woken up after the attack and left a bit of a present behind. One that threaten to go boom.
In the case of sleep, if I out roll you ...my pokemon wakes up. Otherwise, the pokemon take the same amount of damage as your attack or special attack stats, without defense or Sp. defense add to it nor the accuracy rolls.
Brian gritted his teeth as the attack missed, and Delibird rolled out of the way. To Brian's horror, yet another Present was left behind, and he realized this may very well be the end of the battle. If Purr takes any more damage.... he thought, but didn't finish. "Purr, get out of there, quick!" he yelled, and although she was badly injured, Purr did her best to try and escape the blast radius of the Present left behind, not knowing if it would help her or hurt her.
Brian was a bit surprised when a strong breeze swept past him. Wait a minute. This room was supposed to be enclosed...wasn't it? He wouldn't put it past the Academy administrators to make hidden windows in the room. A soft tapping caught his attention, and he looked up as a slightly older man walked into the room from the opposite side. Brian returned the man's friendly gesture with a nod of his own, running his fingers lightly over Purr's Pokeball.
