Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elijah was glad that Scorpio was able to get away so easily and right as Dratini hit the floor and spun she would have to act fast because Elijah was already calling for his attack, "Scorpio hit her with Poison Sting as soon as she turns around to face you!" Scorpio again pointed his tail at the dragon type Pokemon and his tail glowed white hot and he began to fire poisoned needles as soon as Dratini spun around.

(Figure out damage, there is a simple formula for figuring out damage. It is pretty consistent, but there are times when moves don't fit into that standard. In which case, on the same page as the auditorium is the information center which lists all moves, and how status conditions work.)

The attack would catch the pokemon even as the Snivy tries to defend itself from the worst of the attack. The move hitting hard against the leaf of a pokemon's tail as the Snivy winces behind it before uncurling in a matter that was quite elegant. The reddish hue to the leaf would be hidden even as he streak forward with is head down in another move to tackle.

(To figure damage, first you must work with the two dice rolls.

Subtract the attack roll from the defensive roll only ...if it higher.

So, 19 - 17 = 2

Then you will subtract the attacker's attack stats in this case, but if it had been a special move ...it would use Sp. attack instead from the pokemon's defense in the case of a sp. attack ....sp. defense.

Thus, it looks like this.

7 - 7 = 0dmg

Then you add the two together to get your overall damage. 2 + 0 = 2dmg

Drain punch also has the addition ability of taking half of the damage to an opponent and using it to heal the user. so it would add +1 to hp if your pokemon had been injured in this case.)

Snivy (m)
lvl:2/Careful
Hp: 12/14 Pp: 16 Att: 7 Def: 7 Spd: 8 Sp Att: 6 Sp Def: 7
Moves: Tackle, Sweet Scent
Exp to be gained: 17

Shadow watched as the snivy came in for another tackle. The treecko ran towards he snivy as well and jump overhead.

Shadow smilled coolly as a green and black orb absorbed his fist once more. He slowly walked to the snivy and sped into a run. He pulled the fist back to use drain punch once he got close enough.

(-1 to attack rolls)

Though this time the attack would hit .....but find it couldn't break through the Snivy's defense. A smirk was on his face, as he saw for once that things were opening for him ....as he would use his tail to push that fist hand up higher ...past his head as he smirked darkly and then lunged forward for another tackle attack.

Elijah was going to thank the voice for the opportunity, but thought that it wouldn't matter anyways. Elijah was ready to battle more and become stronger and hopefully get more Pokemon also. He turned and walked out of the Battle Room.


- Exit to Maneuvering Class -

(15 - 3 + 7 - 7 = 12dmg)

Where the last attack had been soft this one was hard as the Snivy it would seem had caught the pokemon unaware. Crashing into his side even as he side stepped, the Snivy would do a forward roll to retake his feet with his tail waving behind him in a mode that couldn't be calling anything other than mockery as he doesn't even try to hide behind the limb.

Instead, he would press it into the ground ...when that pokemon came at him this time, he was going to lift himself out of harms way.

(Just something to also note, if at any time, a pokemon's hp fall below -7 ...that pokemon will die and never return. In other words, pokemon here can die.)

((It's not simply about "getting" it. The fact is you are new to the guild, though you haven't taken the tutorial version, you're still new to the Battle System, as well as Capturing, Encounters, etcetera etcetera, it'll take time for those things to sink in, and it can be a lot at first. Thus part of why we trim out some of the more complicated aspects. More then a few people have lost a Pokemon because they were using a counter-attack before they were actually ready for it.))

((...however, I suppose I'll let you go on this one. Just remember, if you're Poochyena's dies, it's on your hands.))

(10 - 3) + (7 - 6) = 8 DMG

Claw HP:4

This time the Poochyena's attack would hit harder then before, much harder. Claw would be sent sprawling back, rolling across the floor as he sough to regain his footing. Teeth crackling with electricity as his tail began to lash from side to side, the Shinx would let loose a deep throated feline growl. Stupid Mutt.

Despite the desire to rip and rend the Shinx would turn about and dash off in the other direction, nimble paws carrying him as he danced and darted around the battlefield. ">Catch me if you can Slowpoke!<" The cat hissed.
