General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post, and 5 minute voting period for combat votes. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible. There are occasional roles to keep things organic, but mostly it goes by voters choice. Unless specified otherwise, the best of 3 rolls is the result, and rolling high is good.

Write-ins for all votes or always welcome and encouraged. Put your own spin on it, suggest dialogue, add an addendum, or anything else. Just because some options specify to write in, doesn't mean that they aren't welcome for anything else. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as needed.

You decide to just relax in the tub in your clothes.

"Who cares? We're already soaked." You lean back into the tub. Robin steps out, causing her wet clothes to ling tightly. She grabs the wine, then crawls back in. Her wet clothes billow out in the water,

"Whaaaat~? I'm*hic* baaad now, remem*hic*remember?" She smiles devilishly. You're not sure if you're impressed, excited, or terrified. Robin takes out her Eevee and starts playing with him in the water. Eevee doesn't mind the tub and excitedly plays back.

Robin is just apparently full of fun ideas. She slides over to Vance's lap and wrap her arms around his neck.

Vance turns red and protests, but doesn't physically stop her. "Woah, Robin. Maybe you-" To both his and your relief, she takes off his cape then goes back to her spot and puts it on.

Robin giggles. "Look at me! I'm Vance!" She starts doing karate chops into the tub. You and Vance laugh.

She takes off the cape and hands it back to Vance. It's your turn now as she sits on your lap. She puts your arm up and takes off your shirt, leaving you in your bra. Somewhere in the back of your mind you think you should at least pretend to put up a fight, but you quickly silence that thought when you see Robin take off her shirt and put on yours.

"Aren't you going to do an impression of me?" you ask.

She smiles widely. "I juuust took off your shirt for no reason~. I *hic* already did."

Vance laughs even harder. He and Robin high five and make loud 'OOOH' noises. Robin slides back into the tub and leans back, very proud of herself. Jeez, get a couple of drinks into them and they really loosen up. Whether she meant that you strip her a lot or just don't mind taking off clothes, you have to admit she got you pretty good.

You lean over to Vance, grab the bottle from his hand and take a couple of chugs. You slip in the tub and lean against him before getting your balance back. "Lose the pants." You say before taking another swig. He complies and you help him pull the last leg out under the water. Awww, Robin looks nervous.

You take off your own pants, probably a little slower and with more flare than is needed. You put your entire lower body into one of Vance's pant legs. He must get these custom tailored somewhere. "Look at me! I'm Vance's right leg!" You fall over. It's obvious how much everyone's been drinking, because that's probably the only reason Vance and Robin laugh as hard as they do. You get back up and put both legs on correctly, and hold them up by the waist. You start stroking your non-existent beard and nodding, getting you more laughs. Vance tries to put on a face that says he’s not impressed, but then you mimic that face too and he and Robin crack up again.

“OK, you got me.” Vance admits. He throws his hand up in defeat.

You’re not done yet. You fake wrestle Robin as if she were an Ursaring. She flails into the tub laughing. “NooooOOoo!”

"Darn right I did!" You start crawling out of the tub. "Come on big guy. You're turn. Do us!"

Vance and Robin are crawling out of the tub too, grabbing towels. "Alright, umm..." He takes another quick drink, working up some courage. "I need something of yours I guess."

Without hesitating, you take off your bra and hand it to him. You stifle a laugh as he takes it. Robin's eyes are as wide as saucers.

Vance tries to put it on, but it won't fit around him. He just puts it on has a hat instead. He stammers. "I-uh..." he coughs, then closes his eyes in search of his inner actor. "I'm Kat! Do this! Do that!"

"Boo!" Robin is unimpressed with his weak performance.

Vance gets a sly smile. "Alright, fine!" He walks over to Robin and starts undoing her (technically your) shirt. "Come on," his voice is a high falsetto, "lets shower, then shower some more. Robin, I need you in the shower right now!" You and Robin laugh. She really gets over being shy after a few drinks.

You're getting it pretty bad tonight, but you take it in good humor.

You get an idea. "Vance! Do your sister now."

"Ewwww," Vance says "that's not cool Kat." His voice trails off as he clearly tries to avoid continually staring at your chest.

"Impersonate her!" You yell.

More laughs follow. Vance sits down and goes into a meditative pose. "I'm the most boring person on the planet. I know everything except how to not be a robot. Everyone thinks I'm amazing anyway!" He tries to make a gesture that mimic's brainwaves coming from his head to yours and Robins. "She's psychic," he explains, "she barely deems anyone worthy of actually talking to, she makes her assistant do that."

Ah. Well, that's good to know, but not really all that funny. You dry off and wave goodnight to everyone as you head to your room. The others do the same. Vance and Robin both wait for you to vanish first though, clearly not wanting to miss any more of the show. You can't help but feel pretty flattered.

The next morning isn't as rough as it could be. You're struggle out of bed, get dressed in the remaining clothes you do have and see Vance and Robin eating breakfast.

"Mr. O'Telier had is specially delivered," Robin explains. Everyone looks a little rough around the edges, but not distractingly so. You're still feeling pretty good.

Vance scarfs down a giant forkful. "Are you two ready for the gym?"

You're strongly tempted to go to the Pokemon center first, but you're also really eager to get the gym battle underway. You head towards the Aquapolis gym with Robin leading the way.

The gym is a fairly plain looking building compared to the luxurious hotels, spa's, and shops around the downtown area. As you enter, you see that the inside is filled with various pools and swimmers, there's a distinct separate area for battling that looks like what Robin described. Rotating machines circle the central platform, spewing a layer of water that gets between the trainer and platform about half the time. It might also make good cover.

Vance puts his hand on yours and Robin's shoulders. "You two have got this. Don't worry." Those are nice words to hear, but you're still nervous. Maybe your first badge was just a fluke?

Robin turns to you. She looks as confident as you feel. "Do you want to go first, or should I?"

You see who can only be Brook, the leader, in the far side of the gym. He's walking this way.

Is it me or the waterfall machine serve no purpose whatsoever?

Also what do the gym leaders do when they are not being challenged?
>>
>>30413544
I think Levi is a bit too risky still. We don't have Destiny with us either (or do we).
>>
>>30413544
Just not use Leviathan, man. She's got authority issues, we can't have that in a freaking gym.

>>30413579
They aren't confined to the gym all day, they can go on vacation, or take a break or something.
The waterfall machines are probably just showy stuff to distract trainers.

You scan her face to see if she wants you to go first, or if she's eager to battle. She doesn't look like she's in a rush. Her team isn't as well suited, and she hasn't had as much training time as you.

You answer her question by stepping in front to greet him first. "Brook? My name is Kat. I'm from Novum and I'm here to challenge you to a gym battle."

He knocks his sunglasses down a little to look you over. "That's what the fan-girls always use as an excuse." You're about to say something but he puts his fingers on your lips. "Shh, shh. It's alright, I'll indulge you." He looks back to a referee across the battle area. The referee nods, but his face is exasperated. "He's jealous." Brook turns around to head to his side.

While we're doing this, I think we should decide once and for all our position on catching additional pokemon.
Are we going to try and avoid getting any more?
Are we going to catch only a handful that might stand out, and rotate them?
What?

You decide to choke down your insults for now. Robin looks like she was going to say something, but he turned around before she could get anything out and the moment passed. Vance has the look of a man that was about to dive for cover.

"Good luck," Vance and Robin head to the observation area. There are a few other people here watching too. You sigh and mentally prepare yourself.

The referee prepares a flag and starts announcing from his side of the room. "This will be a three on three single battle. Only the challenger may switch Pokemon." That's nice and simple, just like the grass gym. The waterfall machine passes by your vision.

Brook tosses his Pokeball up into the air, catches it, then tosses it out. It's the Wooper that Robin mentioned. "You challengers are always predictable. You brought an electric or grass type, didn't you?"

That's right. Woopers are part part ground. Electric attacks won't work. You're glad you studied. Still, the little blue Pokemon looks pretty harmless. Cute even.

You mentally go over your options. Who will you toss out?

Let's not lead with one of our trump cards, Vlad is solid all-around and has an edge over a ground-type.

There's something about his comment that's rubbing you the wrong way. You decide to lead with Raistlin.

"Time for your first gym battle. Come on out Raistlin!" Your tiny Abra appears on the platform.

"Hmph." Brook looks disappointed. "That's a new one in this gym. Let's see if it pays off."

The waterfall passes by, obscuring your vision for a second. You smile. He begins to yell out a command.

Raistlin is your secret weapon. He spent yesterday working on Energy Ball. You feel he mostly has it down, but there's still a small outside chance he might not be able to use it effectively in battle.

Hadn't thought of that, but it'd make an interesting idea.

Gym leaders generally act as strong community leaders. Usually they help do local volunteer work, sometimes settle disputes, provide some sort of community service, etc. Sato plants trees, protects the wetlands, and offers meditation classes.

Brook shouts out his attack. "Wooper! Ice Beam! Let's go!"

At the same time, you shout yours. "Raistlin! Energy Ball, now!"

Raistlin is faster. Green energy gathers into a ball in front of him, then fires off at the poor Wooper. You and Raistlin were the only ones expecting that. It's not the most powerful one you've seen him do, butn it gets the job done. The Ice Beam Wooper was preparing sputters out as Wooper is cleanly knocked out in the first attack.

The small group of people cheer. You can hear Vance and Robin as the loudest voices.

The scorboard shows a red X by Brooks name as the referee waves a flag. "Wooper is unable to battle."

"Wooper! Return." Brook smiles. "Unpredictable. I like that. Your raw power won't beat my speed though. Buizel! Show them what this gym is all about!"

A small ferret, looking Pokemon emerges as he tosses his Pokeball. Instead of landing on the platform, it dives into the water.

"Trust me, your Abra doesn't stand a chance in this matchup," Brook yells to you.

You have a split second where you can switch out before the water blocks you from Raistlin. You won't be able switch for a few precious seconds after this with the water in front of you.

Brook smiles. "Buizel! You know what they're going to do! Pursuit!"
You and Brook shout out your commands at the same time. "Raistlin! Return!"

As your Pokeball beam just barely connects with Raistlin, the Buizel chases after him at amazing speed. Just as the light flashes round Raistlin's body, it connects in a small dark hit. You see Raistlin begin to faint as he's returned.

"Just as I predicted." Brook gloats. Buizel sticks it's tongue out at you as it lands.

"I'm sorry Raistlin" You apologize to your Pokeball, containing the knocked out Pokemon. "You did well." You remind yourself that this sort of thing happens in Pokemon battles, and Raistlin did really well.

"Zappy Dan! It's your turn!" The reflective Magnemite casually takes in his surroundings and situation.

He's had a lot of training. Dan has never let you down.

The waterfall passes in front of you, obscuring your vision. You can still make out both Pokemon on the platform though.

And when has it NOT worked without fail? Cuz im pretty such that even without using games logic, where teleport is 100% guaranteed, repositioning ones self to throw off the opponent is perfectly valid.

"Buizel! Aqua jet then dive for cover!" Buizel surrounds itself in water and fires into Zappy Dan. It's a direct hit, but Dan doesn't seem like it hurt him too much.

You can always depend on Dan's ability to take a hit. He can dish it out too. "Thunderbolt! Give it your all!" Zappy Dan tries to keep a lock on the Buizel that flies passed. As Buizel dives passed the cover of the waterfall, the Thunderbolt connects. Buizel is hit, but a lot of the blow was mitigated by Buizels ability to use the falling water as cover.

"You can probably see my strategy now. We can't compete in a head on fight, but Buizel and I will wear you down."

You're not so sure about that. Dan's strengthened his defense. Buizel seemed to take the worst of it. Still, if you repeat that a few times it will take a lot out of each Pokemon.

make it faster as sound travels faster in water than air.

Even if he still aqua jets first, it should make him less evasive. Supersonic is also fine.

If both source and target are submerged, it would be more effective. If only one is, or there's say a curtain of water between them, it would be markedly LESS effective.

Brook stares at you, but commands his Pokemon. "Buizel! Keep it up with Aqua Jet! Wear them down!" He's watching to see what you'll do.

It's a tough choice. You have a lot of different ideas. As Buizel comes prepares for another pass, you settle on a plan. "Zappy Dan! Thunderbolt on the water!"

Buizel bounces off Zappy Dan again, and instead of trying to follow the Buizel, Dan fires directly into water when Buizel will land. It's not a direct hit, but it hurt.

"Choosing attrition, are we? I should have known you wouldn't have any more surprise strategies." Is he trying to taunt you into an action like he did with Raistlin?

Zappy Dan and Buizel are starting to show exhaustion, but Dan is doing better.

The water passes by, blocking Dan from your line of sight.

If we were going for a status move, we should have done it before. At this point, let's just finish it off. Even if we get a mutual KO, it's 2v1 and we have a large advantage, unless it's water/dark.

The Buizel bounces off Dan. Zappy Dan is winning this exchange, but it's still taking a toll.

"Dan! Change things up! Get in the water with him and hit it with Supersonic!"

Buizel is diving in and out of the water, and not able to hear Brooks commands until after he surfaces, buying you a second of extra time. Before Brook can come up with a new strategy, Dan dives into the water and you can just barely make out a disruptive wave billowing out from him. He pops back up, hovering his way back to the platform.

Buizel flops onto the platform too. It's facing the wrong direction, preparing it's next attack. Brook hesitates for a second, deciding to how to handle this.

"Alright Dan! Thunderbolt! Full power!" You point and pose, even though it's completely not needed. It makes you feel more in command.

"Buizel! Whirl Pool, then dive back into the water!" You don't know that move, but it doesn't matter. Buizel starts spinning around trying to gather water in a circle around Zappy Dan. Before Buizel can finish, he spins out and hits the platform right in front of Zappy Dan. Zappy Dan's expression barely changes from total apathy to just mostly apathy. One thing is certain, it is not the face of mercy.

The thunderbolt fires at point blank sending Buizel flying backwards. He skips across the water and slams into the wall passed Brook.

The referee wastes no time. "Buizel is unable to battle!" Another red X appears next to Brooks image on the board.

"Good job buddy. Take a rest." Brook returns his Pokemon. "I may have underestimated you. How many badges have you earned so far?"

"One," you reply. You can't find any reason to lie about it.

Brook considers that for a moment. "Don't think you'll get your second one soon, Slowking! I choose you!" He throws a Pokeball and a purple, silly looking Pokemon with a shell for a crown appears. "I see I've been going too easy on you. Slowking and I won't lose without a fight!"

"Give them a taste of their own medicine! Swagger!" Brook once again issues his command at the exact same time as you.

"Dan! Use Thunderwave!"

Both moves connect at the same time. Zappy Dan was probably faster by a hair, but it doesn't make a difference under the circumstances.

Small bands of electricity wrap around Slowking's body, and Zappy Dan's eye spins a little as he tries to keep focus.

"Smart move, not trying to confuse Slowking here. He's immune to that sort of trick thanks to his ability." It doesn't sound like a compliment, even if it probably is. He's probably being a little too proud of his Pokemon and showing off.

You're proud of your Pokemon too, but not dumb enough to announce it's ability. To be fair, you're not entirely sure what it is. It doesn't matter now though. Dan is tired and confused, and the waterfall prevents you from switching right now.

Either the confusion makes Dan KO himself for too much damage thanks to Swagger, or the explosion works.

"Dan! You've done really well and I'm proud of you. You earned a rest."

Brook smiles. "You can't retrieve your Pokemon through the water. Slowking! While he's weak, hit it with Rock Smash!" Slowking starts making it's way forward. You thought it was slow before, but with paralysis the Slowking moves at a geological pace.

Did you just seriously think that? Robin must be rubbing off on you.

Not the time! "Dan! Explosion!"

Brooks smile fades. "No! Slowking Stop! Get out of there!" The extremely slow Pokemon stops in it's tracks, and very slowly turns back to face Brook. That silly grin never leaves it's face.

BOOM! Despite Dan being confused, he pulls it off. The shockwave splashes you and Brook with water and creates a small crater in the middle of the platform. Slowking is knocked back and lands on it's face. Zappy Dan drops to the ground and rolls to the middle of the crater.

The referee uncovers his eyes and the dust settles. He surveys the platform. "Magnemite is unable to battle!" A red X appears on your side of the scoreboard.

All eyes are on Slowking. He crawls back to his feet. He's roughed up, but the smile hasn't left it's face.

"Unpredictable was right," Brook says to himself, but you can still hear him. He looks up to you. "Slowking is tougher than that, sweetcheeks. I hope you've got a good plan up you sleeve." Slowking looks heavily damaged, but Brook's confidence tells you that something is up.

You retrieve Dan. "Good job, I'm very proud of you. You earned a nice rest."

It's part psychic and is super slow right now. Also, there's no way he'd expect us to use a fire type.

Give it a while and zappy dan will be the default name of every single magnemite caught by any of us following this quest. I would have done the same but I already have one called magneto who is about as indestructable as zappy dan is anyway and has seen me through nearly every generation so far.

Devon is also fine, but slightly riskier.
We don't know for sure that he has ice beam, but he sure as hell has a water move, or at least a way of knocking Devon into the water.

Both are faster, and have a move that should finish him off in one hit, so it doesn't really matter too much. Just not Leviathan, it's pointless to take a big risk at this stage.

Except everyone else has super-effective attacks, and Devon and Trunks get STAB as well.
Devon with Dark Pulse is our best bet to take this turd down. He will NOT be expecting a Fire-type, and probably intends to fire Ice Beam straight up.

Vlad is weak to psychic but has strong moves

It's a really tough choice. You don't feel like there's any clear option. Every move is a gamble.

You love it. The thrill of decision is what it's all about. It's a bigger thrill than anything else. You sometimes got a thrill almost like this from stealing, but most of the time you did that out of need until it was just something you were proud to be good at. That's changed since you've started your journey. Since that not-so-distant day you got your first Pokemon.

You've made your choice.

"Devon! I choose you!" Your first Pokemon appears in a flash of light. He barks and readies himself for an order.

Brook raises an eyebrow. "That's a bold one," he comments. You can see the concern on his face though. He's not used to not knowing what's going to happen next. It's his turn to try to figure out your plan

You're not even sure why you had to think about it. The strategy is clear. "Devon! Finish him with Dark Pulse"

"Slowking! Rest! Hurry!" Brook know's it's all up to his speed. Not a good thing for him.

Devon digs his paws into the ground and quickly charges and fires a powerful beam of dark energy.

It's a direct hit as Slowking just isn't fast enough. His eyes haven't even closed all the way. Slowking is pushed back but it tries to resist. It drags accross the ground before Dark Pulse overpowers it. Another mighty explosion rocks the platform.

Slowking collapses. The referee hesitates for a second to make sure it's not rest before calling it. His flag rises. "Slowking is unable to battle! Victory goes to the challenger from Novum!"

There's a huge cheer from the small audience. Robin and Vance are running over to meet you.

Brook retrieves his Pokemon and says something to the ball that you can't hear over all the noises. He makes his way over to you. His expression is softer now, less cocky.

"That was a great battle. I'm proud to present to you the Liquid badge." He leans down to pin it on your chest. You intercept his hand and accept the badge that way instead.

You shake his hand. "That was a great battle. I wasn't expecting that Pursuit. You really caught me there."

He laughs. "That's about the only thing I was able to predict. Your entire strategy had me guessing. Energy Ball? Amazing!" He's a lot friendlier now. The playboy lecher has been replaced with an actual gym leader. You see Vance and Robin running over in the reflection of his shades. His cocky smile returns and he puts an arm around you. "How about you and I talk about that match some more over dinner?"

"Great match Kat!" Robin pushes in. "I'm here to challenge your gym too!" She slides between the two of you.

Brook steps back a pace to look her over. "Friend of yours? You know, I don't mind taking the two of you out. I know this great place...wait a minute. I know you! You've been here before! Robin looks nervous. "Yeah, I remember you. Your dad send you again to take more notes?"

Robin blushes. She must have thought she was being stealthy before, just like when Sato recognized her. "I-I...No! I'm not here for that stubborn old man! Can't you listen! I'm here to battle you!" Robin stomps her feet. It reminds you of the first time you met her.

"Don't let him make you mad," you whisper. "He wants you to make mistakes."

Her angry expression turns to you, but she visibly calms down when she realizes you're just trying to help. She gives you a nod to show she understands, but she's still a little shaken.

"Alright, alright. I'll indulge you too," Brook says. "But don't expect me to go easy on you just because of who your dad is, you little firecracker, you." He winks and bushes his hand on her chin before walking back to his spot.

Robin puts on a goofy looking cocky face. "D-d-don't count on it!"

What would you like to know?
>>
>>30419370
>>Something else

Whisper to Brook that she hates being called a Daddys Girl.
>>
>>30419370
>Tell her you're confident she'll win, and just to not care about him at all.
Let's cheer loudly to distract from him.
>>
>>30419370
>>Tell her you're confident she'll win

she's smarter then us
>>
>>30419370
>Wish her luck

I'm not very confident that she'll win. Not only is she already flustered, she's also very by-the-book.
>>
>>30419370
>Try to give her some advice before it starts (write-in encouraged)
Don't fuck up.
>>
>>30419370
"Robin."

Kiss her cheek. Grab her ass.

"Sic 'im."

He seems to focus on how you battle, and tries to combat around that, be as unpredictable as you can be, just like devon

>>30419437
I'm gonna throw my vote in for this because fuck it

"He's good at throwing people off with his attitude, and he was constantly trying to predict and counter my decisions. He's smart; but you're smarter."

"Keep cool, and make him play your game rather than his, and you've got this."
>>
>>30419370
Tell her to stop falling for his strategy. She needs to analyse all of his actions in order to predict him.
>>
>>30419437
Seconding this. Could take or leave the ass grab.
>>
>>30419437
I'll back the kiss, let's not grope her right now though. Really not the right time or mood.
>>
>>30419370
"Robin, take some deep breaths and calm down. Don't listen to what he says, we both know he's just a douchebag trying to put you off your game."
>>
>>30419461
The idea is that she's already off-balance. We're trying to direct her focus away from Brook so she might be a bit more centered.
>>

"remember to think outside the box. and be carefull dispite his cocky atitude he has the skills to back it up... but i think you got this!"
>>
>>30419437
This
>>
>>30419459
Sounds good.

>>30419437
Kissing sounds good, Not so much the ass grab. Bolster her confidence a bit by showing interest in her.
>>
>>30419370
Gonna go for this, make her too distracted with us to pay attention to him.
>>30419437
>>
>>30419501
>>30419474
>>30419473
Just threw in the grab-ass because it's distracting and in-character.
>>
>>30419477
I figured as much. I also like the ass grabbing.

You point her head over the field. "He seems to focus on how you battle, and tries to combat around that. Be as unpredictable as you can be, just like Devon." She nods. "He's good at throwing people off with his attitude, and he was constantly trying to predict and counter my decisions. He's smart; but you're smarter."

You move behind her and rub her shoulders like a boxer and her coach. "Keep cool, and make him play your game rather than his, and you've got this." She's relaxing a lot more now. You can see she's becoming more focused from your pep talk.

"Robin?" You don't for a response. You kiss her on the cheek. "Sic 'im."

You just barely catch her red face in the corner of your eye as you turn around and follow Vance to the observation area.

Vance pats you on the back. "That really was a great match," he says. "I was on the edge of my seat."

>Tell him it's all about being unpredictable
>Tell him it's all about preparation. You trained for those moves hard beforehand
>Have him tell you what he thinks the key to winning was
>Just accept the compliment. It's time to cheer on Robin, not train Vance
>>
>>30419740
>Have him tell you what he thinks the key to winning was
It must have been getting pissed enough at his attempts at psyching us out that we never lost focus.
>>
>>30419740
>Have him tell you what he thinks the key to winning was.

No write in, FUCK THAT NOISE

No matter what he says tell him he is correct.

"Part of winning is having a plan, and making sure your opponent doesn't figure it out."

Guys, you know how Gobble said that you can teach Pokemon move chains?

We need to teach Devon Bite + Dark Pulse and Bite + Flamethrower. It would fuck some serious shit up.

Or Trunks Horn Leech + Leech Seed
>>
>>30420013

>Protect+Focus Punch
>>
>>30420028
OMG i know how that shit would work instead of just nature energy shit try and grow sticky seeds on its horns as it charges and abandons the seeds on contact which would procede to swiftly grow into the vine like shit
>>
>>30420056
>Growl+Leer
>>
>>30419942
You can replace Bite in that with either Crunch or Fire Fang.

If you teach him to do a beam and a bite then you can swap them all together.
>>
>>30420013
Well if it has the restriction Geomancy does i don't think so.
>>30420056
This happens anyways, except with substitute. Which in all honest is a better paired move with F-Punch.
>>
>>30420056
Might not be allowed
>>
pege nein guys
>>
I feel like the higher level mon fighting relys on chain moves a shit ton.
>>
>>30419942
what about sacred fire? That might be an interesting move to teach him if possible.
>>
Pretty sure 'move chain' is not 'two moves at once', guys. Probably just one move, then another, without having to actually order the second.
>>
>>30420131
sheer cold would be a better choice, they'll never expect it!
>>
>>30420078
>Sand-attack + Double Team
I'm just saying...

Whoops sorry. I usually write (write-in) when I have absolutely no idea what to say. Writing in is always something that's encouraged.

>>30420131
Doesn't learn it.

>>30420144
Some of them are plausible, like the Bite + Dark Pulse, they're related. It would probably require us to reduce the charge time of Dark Pulse by a lot and reqire a lot of training. But others like Protect + Focus Punch might not because they kind of conflict in their nature.
