Pierce outnumbers Impact five-to-one before getting a sixth pokemon and without fighting himself.

Unless you're talking sneak attack in which case, hell, go right ahead.

Numbers are irrelevant. In this sort of situation, anyway. I'm the agressor, here, and I have initiative. That means that I determine where and how the conflict takes place, under which circumstances. I couldn't kill him in a one-on-one confrontation, god no. But I don't intend to go one-on-one, I'll put some effort into creating the correct circumstances, strike when the time's right. Initiative is the key. Given time, I can eliminate all of your advantages, every possible defense. The only way you could survive would be to act in the same way, nip my plans in the bud, arrange things so your position is advantageous, tear initiative from me.

That's pretty much the essence of "the art of war". Retain initiative, retain control, and you're invincible.

I will give you an opportunity to withdraw your dare, now.

Nope. Gimmie your best shot.

Allright. Anything specific you want to accomplish, before I strike? And will you continue using AB's protection? (i.e. do you want him to actively arrange events to Impact doesn't succeed, or do you forfeit that?)

I'm keeping AB's protection, just in case you do manage to surprise me. I like this RP.

But you can still prove that Impact is capable of killing Pierce if you can.
