Pokemon Umbral Theatre 8: Introducing the Hexagon Harem

[Dracorion]

You know, if Faynoc has any more Asuras to throw at you, Mio could come in handy with her fancy Ruin Harmonic.

'Kay, thanks AB.

[Menarker]

For your reference, I pulled out some info on Shizuka from the last time she fought against Lexhur.

Although this was before the rage system was implemented and all that, so the signature techniques will naturally have a rage cost. But the pokemon moves themselves should be useful.


Shizuka Mizuno (Battle Master [Slayer/Trainer])

Weapon(s)
- Katana ~ Forged by demons. Very high critical hit rate. Deals no real type of damage and is able to hit any kind of target. Normally not worthy of note besides being an enchanted weapon, but coupled with Shizuka's skill and strength, this is a deadly weapon.

Armor
- Red Kimono ~ Sewn by a high priestess, annointed with mystic water, and imbued with powerful spirit energy from ancient rituals, this unassuming mini-yukata protects the body from the power of demons while leaving Shizuka's long, smooth legs free for ease of motion.

Signature Techniques

- Apple Slicer: Shizuka pulls a lovely apple out from a "hiding place" and lazily tosses it between herself and the target, then inflicts eight too-fast-to-see cuts that split the apple into eight and could do the same to her target. Severe damage is inflicted on the target, 50% chance of instant death, 100% chance of flinching.

- Apple Splitter: Shizuka pulls a lovely apple out from a "hiding place" and lazily tosses it between herself and a central point of where she will strike, then splits the apple and severely damages all foes before her with a single cut. Great damage is dealt to all targets.

- Applesauce: Like what happens when you shoot a foe up close with a shotgun in F.E.A.R., except it also happens to an apple. Certain instant death on the target, no matter who or what it is.

Pokemon Lineup

- Allegion (Bug/Electric) [Male]
Moves: Thunder Crush / Charge / Zap Cannon / X-Scissor
Ability: Volt Absorb
Item: Alastor - A large gothically decorated sword partially implanted in Allegion's body. Increases Electric damage and double paralysis chance. Only Allegion can hold this item.
Move Description: Thunder Crush - Locks down the target for two turns, preventing use of moves or held item. Target is dealt 50 Electric-type damage each turn and there is a 30% chance of paralysis each turn.

- Ho-Oh (Fire/Flying)
Moves: Sky Attack / Sacred Fire / Fire Blast / Sunny Day
Ability: Flash Fire
Item: Sharp Beak


And geez, looking back, Thunder Crush is over-powered as hell.

[Dracorion]

That it is.

I'm going to abuse the hell out of it.

But I'd also like to know the attacks available to Shizuka herself. Y'know, since she's a Battle Master and all.

[Astral Harmony]

Yeah, better nerf the shit out of Thunder Crush, now that I've looked at all those badass moves legendaries have.

Thunder Crush ~ 2 foes, 100 Pwr, 30% Paralyze, Electric.

That's not ridiculous, is it?

I'll work on Shizuka real quick.

[Dracorion]

What the-

Dammit AB!

[Menarker]

Don't forget Sakuya, Mio and everyone else! ^-^ The rest of us can't proceed very far with the story without knowing who we can put in our group and their respective slot and abilities!

[Dracorion]

So, kids. Yeah, I mean you jerks. Is it okay with y'all if Pierce gets the kill on Faynoc?

[Astral Harmony]

I'm workin', I'm workin'. I got tripped up by the fact that I have a lotta Slayers and Battle Masters, and that means a lot of RDPAs.

Here's a note of interest: RDPAs, despite what the fucking acronym stands for, doesn't always have to involve a powered armor or even something you wear. Shizuka's will be a transformation. Wilhelmina's will be a special combat mode. Harliette's will be an independent Evolith-like golem. Be imaginative if you ever end up getting one. Despite the fact that there was a plot point mentioning Impact's armor, he can choose what he really has.

Well, I got a few choice lines to direct to Faynoc. A sort of "Reason You Suck" sort of speech. :3 Would rather that if the group gets to fight him, that Renny gets the chance to get that across, probably infuriate Faynoc or at least motivating the rest of the group (as if they needed it, although Faynoc might try something to weaken people's resolve. ^^; ). Would like to deal a good blow against him too. But I don't care about dealing the last one.
