Magicians' Journey (A Patchouli Quest. Pokemon crossover.)

> "Marisa, mind if we see eachother's movesets?  Since this is more about learning than anything really"

> If she agrees let her see our moveset and check Squirtle's moveset

>"Why, afraid you'll lose, ze?" Marisa smirks, before shrugging, "Eh, fine. But just this time, got it?"

>You roll your eyes and allow her to see Fennekin's moveset, before having the pokedex bring up Squirtle's data. Curiously, it seems that Squirtle only knows two moves as opposed to Fennekin's three.

>While you already know what Tail Whip is, you feel that Tackle is pretty self-explanatory, though just in case you have the details of that move pulled up as well:

>Tackle [Normal] - A physical attack in which the user charges and slams into the target with its whole body.

>"Really, only two ze?" Marisa frowns a bit.

> So not every pokemon starts with 3 moves, interesting

> "Okay so how do we begin now?"

> "Okay so how do we begin now?"

>"Take your positions, then when I say to begin, simply order your pokemon. The battle ends when one side is unable to battle."

[Tom]

> "How do we decide who goes first?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "How do we decide who goes first?"

>"Either decide that among yourselves or just have it be whoever acts first. In casual settings it really doesn't matter, but if this were a Gym Battle or a League Challenge then typically the challenger would be allowed to make the first move."

> Find and pick up a fallen branch

> "Whoever's way the pointy end of this branch falls begins first"

> Toss it in the air spinning

> Find and pick up a fallen branch

> "Whoever's way the pointy end of this branch falls begins first"

> Toss it in the air spinning

>You pick up a branch and toss it

//I STG if the actual post is different from the preview and forces me to edit the result I'm gonna switch to a discord bot for future dice rolls.
//EDIT: Fuuuuck.

[Tom]

// That's so you can't cheat in quests where the players themselves roll the dice.  If they knew the results they would do some action that doesn't require a roll to try and get a more favorable roll on the next post.  It forces you to commit to posting to get the result.  Just make 2 posts if you don't like editing, one with the roll and a second with the flavortext of the result.

> "Alright, so Fennekin try and Scratch Squirtle!"

(Rival Marisa would like to battle!)
[BGM]

>"Kin!" Fennekin bolts into action, scampering towards the turtle pokemon on the opposing side.

>"Let it get close and hit it with a tackle!" Marisa orders.

>"Squir!" Squirtle gets into position, ready to ram into Fennekin as it approaches.

(Fennekin attack vs Squirtle counterattack)
[85 vs 77]

>Fennekin deftly dodges Squirtle's full body tackle and gives him a scratch in the side with one of her forepaws for his troubles!

>"Squirtle!" it yelps as it recoils from the attack.

>"Not good enough, Squirtle!" Marisa frowns, "Tackle again, but keep your eye on her this time, ze!"
>"Tle!" the pokemon grunts as it recovers, before charging towards Fennekin!

>"Fennekin, use Tail Whip."

[Tom]

// Was that technically a miss by Squirtle or is there the ability to dodge attacks?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

// Was that technically a miss by Squirtle or is there the ability to dodge attacks?

//Combat is closer to how it's depicted in the anime since it flows better, so both dodging and creative/unorthodox uses of attacks are possible.
//You can also explicitly order a dodge as well if you wanted.
//Accuracy checks only come into play if a pokemon uses a move that has less than 100 accuracy or have had their accuracy debuffed.

>"Fennekin, use Tail Whip."

>Fennekin turns around to wag her tail, which seems to cause Squirtle to pause in confusion for a second.

[Tom]

// Ahh so there's no 1 in 256 chance of missing on 100 accuracy moves?

> "Now quickly follow it up with another Scratch"

>"What are you waiting for, Tackle!" Marisa shouts.

(Fennekin attack vs Squirtle defense/counterattack)
[71 vs 4-5 (from Tail Whip)=-1]

>But Fennekin strikes before Squirtle can even process Marisa's order, knocking him back towards her side of the battlefield and dealing a decent amount of damage.
>Squirtle quickly recovers, looking quite irritated. Marisa herself seems to be frowning as well.

//   Good going and tactic-strategy movesets and...this Fennekin should be a quick-witted/reflexes/change Pokemon,so this ...//

> "Quick attack series :"Scratch and Tail-Whip,then another Scratch and Tail Whipwith Anoth Tail-Whip !"".

> Say this as soon as the "combo" finishes succeeding or as soon as it seems a counter is heading :" Dodge if you can't act in time and then counter-attack".

> If Fennekin is hit or if Squirtle is flinching :" If hit,retreat some distance away to regain footing&focus while ,if possible, stay pointed at Squirtle's Sides".
