Session 121

Ignacia continues to loom over the party, down to her last aura - the Devourer aura, apparently. Perhaps not quite the power she thought she was going to tap, but she is still wielding it against her foes - which currently consists of everyone around her, the party first and foremost.
Linnea: "Well, this sucks."
[OOC] WC GM: Round 3! Amaterasu's first. There may be some pokemon switching after what happened in round 2.
Amaterasu attempts some [Foul Play], maybe Ignacia isn't immune to her own strength?
Max Thorn rolled up 1d20: 9 (9) (AC 2)
[OOC] WC GM: Hits!
[OOC] Max Thorn: and her Attack?
[OOC] WC GM: 100
Max Thorn rolled up 4d8+110: 130 (2 8 6 4)
A solid hit - but it does not seem to do anything.
[OOC] WC GM: Sam!
Sam Spade smiles winsomely at Iggy, and blows her a kiss! [Sweet Kiss!]
Sam Spade rolled up 1d20: 18 (18) (AC 6)
Ignacia is Confused on top of her other problems.
[OOC] WC GM: Max!
[OOC] Sam Spade: Hang a mo
[OOC] Sam Spade: That triggers Demoralize, and causes her to lose a tick of HP
[OOC] WC GM: Thought that was on 19+?
[OOC] Sam Spade: Iggy is also at -3 to Evasion for a full round, may not Disengage while Confused, and if she hits herself that triggers an Attack of Opportunity
[OOC] Sam Spade: 18+ because I have Push Buttons
[OOC] WC GM: Ah so.
Max Thorn considers, then, through [Adaptive Geography], [Covets] whatever Iggy's holding, if anything.
The kiss blasts through the aura, striking Ignacia with its potency…and yet she does not seem harmed that much further.
Max Thorn rolled up 1d20 2d6+35: 14 (14) 45 (6 4) (AC 2, take held item or accessory slot item if user isn't holding anything…which he isn't)
Ignacia is not holding anything either. Max manages to grab something off her belt - something round, smooth, hard, and…at a glance, purple and white.
Max Thorn: "…Iiiiiinteresting."
Ignacia double-takes. "GIVE THAT BACK!" She dives to grab it…
WC GM rolled up 1d20: 16 (16)
…and manages to pin Max to the ground, wrestling for the ball.
Max Thorn yelps, trying to keep it away from her as much as he can.
[OOC] WC GM: Miator, Chicklet, then Linnea, then Esme! Also Esme's pokemon if she's sending one out.
[OOC] Sam Spade: Miator and Chicklet at the same time or in sequence?
Miator takes one look at Lin and blasts her with a [Heal Pulse] - and she lets out an agonizing screech as injuries forcibly mend. It's functional, not comfortable. [to 135/198]
[OOC] WC GM: *Miator, then Chicklet
Chicklet darts in at Iggy, then punches her from behind! [Dynamic Punch]!
Chicklet rolled up 1d20+4 3d10+10+27: 9 (5) 48 (2 5 4) (AC 9 but ignores Evasion if flanking and she's looking at Max right now)
The punch barely but solidly hits - and does not seem to do anything.
[OOC] WC GM: Chicklet behind + Max in front = solid flank
[OOC] Sam Spade: Well, Linnea up now, then Esme
Chicklet: "It's not working!"
Esme hmms and haws. "Yeah. That last one is a problem, still."
Linnea makes a dive for the object Ignacia dropped! [Athletics?]
[OOC] WC GM: Is Esme sending out a new pokemon, since Gervais was KOed?
[OOC] WC GM: The object is technically in Max's hand, not dropped, but sure, Athletics to get it away.
Linnea rolled up 5d6: 17 (1 2 5 6 3)
Esme sends out Ugene!
WC GM rolled up 4d6+2: 21 (2 6 5 6)
Ignacia manages to grab the ball just before Linnea's hand can get on it. Neither one is willing to release just yet…
[OOC] Max Thorn: can I add a Combat roll to help Lin? or is it too late for that?
Esme rushes over to assist! [More Athletics]
[OOC] WC GM: Too late - though Esme and Ugene can.
Esme rolled up 6d6+1: 18 (3 6 1 1 4 2)
[OOC] WC GM: Is Ugene helping too?
Ugene gives it a psychic nudge to help his trainer! [Telekinetic]
Esme rolled up 6d6+4: 28 (5 6 4 2 4 3)
The ball pops loose, quickly rolling toward the edge of the aerial island…
[OOC] WC GM: Round 4! Amaterasu!
Linnea: "Agh, someone get it!"
Amaterasu rushes for it!
It is loose on the ground, and easily snagged.
Max Thorn: "Good girl, Amaterasu! Now, try to keep it away from her!" Amaterasu wags, eyeing Ignacia.
[OOC] WC GM: Shift action to get there, swift action to pick it up. Standard action is…?
[OOC] Max Thorn: Pass, I think.
[OOC] WC GM: Sam, then!
Sam Spade: "Chicklet! Get in there and keep Iggy off her feet! Amaterasu, stay on your toes!" [Capricious Whirl on Amaterasu, Dazzling Dervish on Chicklet]
[OOC] WC GM: Max!
[OOC] Sam Spade: That's +3 Evasion but -5 damage on Ama, btw
[OOC] Max Thorn: Agility Orders
[OOC] Sam Spade: Keep in mind that will overwrite Capricious Whirl
[OOC] Sam Spade: Because Capricious Whirl is in fact an Order
[OOC] WC GM: Was going to say, yeah.
[OOC] Max Thorn: oh. nevermind!
Max Thorn attempts to pin Iggy in turn. [Grapple Maneuver]
Max Thorn rolled up 1d20 6d6: 18 (18) 30 (5 5 5 6 5 4) (AC 4, Combat check)
Max manages to overturn Ignacia!
Ignacia attempts to break free!
WC GM rolled up 4d6: 15 (6 2 2 5)
And does not overcome Max's pin!
[OOC] WC GM: Miator, then Chicklet, then Linnea, then Esme, then Ugene!
Miator lets out an oddly soothing little note, trying to lull Iggy into sleep. [Hypnosis]
Linnea rolled up 1d20: 19 (19) (AC 6)
Ignacia's movements get lethargic. It is hard to tell if she is truly asleep, but that had some effect.
Chicklet gets in there to punch, but…stops at the last moment! Instead she pulls in her energy! [Focus Energy!]
Linnea: "Hah! There we go!"
[OOC] WC GM: Linnea's turn!
Linnea snaps her fingers, and a burst of sparkles fills the air! [Aromatic Mist - all allies in Burst 1 have +1 Sp.Def CS]
[OOC] Linnea: Aromatic Mist.
[OOC] WC GM: Which is everyone involved in the grapple, presumably?
[OOC] WC GM: Esme then Ugene!
[OOC] Linnea: all friendlies, yes
Esme takes the opportunity of Iggy being pinned to mend her spirit- that heat earlier was rough. [Spirit Mending] (130/168 HP)
Ugene focuses in his own way, maintaining a [Calm Mind]!
[OOC] WC GM: It's only Burst 1, so anyone not in the grapple would be out of range.
[OOC] WC GM: Round 5! Amaterasu!
Amaterasu circles around the island, mostly so that she's still in motion if Iggy manages to get up again.
[OOC] WC GM: Sam then Max!
Sam Spade: "Okay, Chicklet, I need you to tangle her up. Max, stay focused, Ama, stay quick!" [Keeping Capricious Whirl and Dazzling Dervish on Ama and Chicklet, and planting Focused Orders on Max]
Max Thorn secures his hold on Iggy. ((+3 to next grapple-related check))
WC GM rolled up 1d20: 13 (13)
Ignacia seems to be struggling with herself more than her grapplers. (Still Sleeping)
[OOC] WC GM: Miator, then Chicklet, then Linnea, then Esme, then Ugene!
Max Thorn: "I guess it's time to help Interpol collect her?"
Miator poses with her hands together, then with a nasty-looking twisting motion, she yanks energy from Ignacia! [Dream Eater, does not wake sleeping targets]
Linnea rolled up 1d20: 20 (20) (AC2, Psychic/Special)
[OOC] Linnea: oh jesus
[OOC] Esme: Yes good
[OOC] Linnea: that's 2x dice and… base?
Linnea rolled up 6d12+10+10+31: 91 (3 4 11 2 10 10)
Ignacia seems unhurt by the siphoned energy, yet clearly the move worked.
[OOC] WC GM: Chicklet!
Chicklet piles in to hold Ignacia's feet, kinda tangling them up a bit as she goes
[OOC] Sam Spade: -3 penalty to all Iggy's rolls until the end of her next turn
[OOC] WC GM: Linnea!
Linnea: "So… what do we do now? She's gonna snap out of it any moment."
Max Thorn: "Any thoughts on the last aura?"
Esme: "Well, it's the one that stops all other auras… and is from Big Z."
Linnea: "I've tried sealing, Mia's tried drawing it out…"
[OOC] WC GM: Relevant Education checks if you wish reminders of what's in B&D.
Linnea rolled up 6d6+2: 27 (5 5 3 6 3 3) (Occult Education)
Linnea: "… When injured, such legendaries seek to flee instead of fainting. Would it really be that easy…?"
Linnea: "It would seem she's in it for good. She dies, or we do."
Linnea: "Unless any of you have other ideas."
Linnea: "That aura… it's shared with our friend in the sky."
Linnea: "They're waiting for something… but what can we do?"
Sam Spade: "What can we do?"
Linnea: "Can we pull them down, maybe?"
Linnea: "I have the eerie feeling they're waiting to eat her, and that's not good…"
Esme: "Oh, it definitely is."
Linnea: "So what do we do?"
[OOC] Linnea: brb
Max Thorn: "…So what's inside her master ball, anyway?"
A quick glance shows that, while said ball might have previously held contents, it is empty now - perhaps through the party's recent actions.
Esme: "Hm."
Esme: "Can we put him in it?"
Max Thorn: "Presumably. Her, too, maybe."
Linnea: "Can it reach that far…?"
Linnea: "Who's got the best arm?"
[OOC] WC GM: Calling that Linnea's turn - Esme & Ugene next.
[OOC] Max Thorn: Max has 5 Throw…
[OOC] Esme: Esme has 10!
[OOC] Linnea: I have 9, so perhaps you're the best here.
Max Thorn: "Hey, Ammy, take the ball to Esme."
[OOC] WC GM: Esme can take the ball as a swift action, and throw as a standard. Shift to get into position.
[OOC] WC GM: Though, keep in mind, this is a very long distance throw, straight up. It will likely fail without some means of substantially boosting the velocity of the throw.
Esme grabs the ball. "Alright, Uggy, gimme a boost!"
Ugene: "<Goooot iiiiit‘`~`>"
Esme winds up a pitch… and a flurry of wind gathers around her clenched fist! She looks up at the looming dragon, and hurls it with all her might, blasting an Aeroblast behind it for force!
Ugene offers support with a telekinetic blast!
[OOC] Esme: Dunno what roll(s), tho
[OOC] WC GM: A Combat, Acrobatics, or Athletics check will do.
Esme rolled up 6d6: 22 (5 3 1 5 6 2) (Athletics)
Up, up, and up the ball goes…
Linnea clenches her teeth. "Come onnnnnnnnnn…"
The ball is not even a twinkle in the sky when it reaches Zygarde’s avatar.
There is, however, a surprised shriek as the avatar turns red and collapses to a single point.
And then, down comes the ball…
Linnea: "YES! YESSSS!"
[OOC] WC GM: Combat is over. Anyone care to catch it?
Sam Spade: "Uh…."
Esme: "Oh!"
Ignacia's last aura fades away. What few struggles she had still been putting up cease; she is thoroughly unconscious.
Linnea snaps up the ball if Esme doesn't. "Right. Your ass is getting sealed at some point."
[OOC] WC GM: Roll it. Combat, Athletics, or Acrobatics again.
Linnea rolled up 5d6: 20 (2 4 3 5 6) (Athletics)
Esme: "Go team!"
Max Thorn just sits on Iggy. "Now that /that's/ over…"
The ball lands in Linnea's hand.
The ball wriggles once…
…twice…
…thrice…
…four times…
…five…
…it's not stopping as it should.
Linnea: "Oh my…"
Linnea: "We'll see about that…!" She tries applying a Cleanse Tag to it.
Max Thorn: "I don't think he likes that… Best have ours ready if he should somehow escape."
[OOC] Linnea: Not the usual use but… sealing magic tag?
With a tag wrapped around the ball, it finally clicks and stops moving.
Linnea: "T'cha."
Esme hands Linnea a few more tags from her own stash. "For good measure."
Linnea applies them, covering the sphere in a layer or two of papers. "I feel like I'm carrying a spiritual time bomb now."
[OOC] WC GM: BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo2IWEL7iPE
[OOC] Linnea: woo!
[OOC] WC GM: +1 trainer level, obviously. And let's call it +500 pokemon XP, each.
A dragonite soon flies up from below, hefting a hatless Looker, before setting Looker on the ground and transforming back into his fedora. Looker adjusts it then looks at the party. "Is it over?"
Linnea holds up the Tag-plastered ball, then points to the unconscious Ignacia. "Yeah."
Sam Spade: "Yeah."
Looker: "What happened to Moth?"
Linnea: "I don't know…I was focused on dealing with this situation at hand."
Max Thorn: "…That's a good question. We were too focused on Iggy."
[OOC] WC GM: Is anyone looking?
Linnea paces around the area, looking.
Esme gives a glance-around. "Yeah, this place was actually crowded not too long ago…"
It does not take too long to find Moth, motionless and crumpled on the ground looking exactly like a puppet with his strings cut. Tim looks over him, master ball in hand, eyes wide and probably unseeing, taking in ragged breaths. The mewtwo is not in sight.
Sam Spade: "Tim? You okay?"
Sam Spade sits down next to Tim.
Sam Spade: "What happened?"
Linnea: "Jeez, you guys got run through the wringer…"
Mia hovers nearby, looking worried.
Tim: "I…I caught him…I caught Moth…my dad…"
Linnea: "Ah…?"
Tim: "The mewtwo…he's the one who raised me…while he was there…"
Tim: "All this time…I thought…he thought…"
The corpse in front of Tim begins to disintegrate. Apparently it was psychically preserved, and the preservation energy has just been removed.
Sam Spade: "Yeah…"
Max Thorn: "Man, that's rough. I'm sorry."
WC GM rolled up 1d4: 2 (2)
Tim gloms onto Esme and begins bawling his eyes out!
Esme: "Aah!"
Sam Spade pats Tim.
Esme pats him on the head. "There, there."
[OOC] WC GM: Tim used Non-Fake Tears! But is it super effective?
Linnea: "So is he…"
Tim offers Linnea the ball for inspection.
Linnea takes the ball, looking it over as much she can without actually opening it.
It does seem to hold a pokemon - alive, though not in the best of shape.
Linnea: "The empath in me says to take them to a Center as soon as possible. The realist…well, I've never been put in this situation before."
Linnea: "…We came here to…we…hmm…"
Max Thorn: "…Honestly, at this point Team Jaeger is effectively headless."
Tim: "…no." He lets go of Esme and sniffs. "No. There are rules. A-and…"
Max Thorn: "So…you, then? Or…?"
Tim: "Me. A-and…" He looks at the party, smiling.
Max Thorn: "And us?"
Tim: "My Elite Four."
