Pokemon Umbral Theatre 25: On the Road Again...

[Menarker]

Well, it's entirely possible that Faynoc is paranoid that a Ditto pokebrid might one day cause him a lot of trouble if he couldn't ensure their loyalty for all times. Stuff like impersonating him to get into restricted locations or spreading contradictory, slanderous, or batshit crazy speech that would make recruiting new members impossible if word spread that he was a lunatic.

EDIT: Also, I'd imagine that if Faynoc could make Ditto pokebrids, he'd had them enter PATCA headquarters and start shooting up shit when everyone is unprepared/defenseless or do some heavy duty sabotage and spy work.

Ditto used Transform!
Ditto has transformed into Dinner!
Ditto used Divide By Zero!
World gone!

How the hell did our threads become so popular, anyways? All I do is post scantily clad, large breasted Gardevoirs...

o i c wat i did ther

[Menarker]

Anyhow, thanks for answering the question AB. It changed my battle plan just a tiny bit. Putting Whitney back in Renny's Enforcer slot as a back-up plan.


EDIT:

Proposed Battle Plan is here. Bard, Dante, feel free to look at it and note if there is anything you feel concerned about.


Formation

[Arceus] [Mightyena] [Mirror] [Matthias] [Impact] [Pacharisu] [Jeanette] [Kyogre] [Renny] [Magnezone] [Lola]


Battle Plan:


Charlotte: Trainer Action Kick the Dog (Arceus +3 Special Attack)
Mightyena: Super Fang Toxique B.
Mirror: Construct Attack Booster. All physical attacks boosted by 2 stages. Attacks Toxique B with Hammer Fall (Dark) for Super Effective boosted damage.
Lola: Uses three Dire Hits on Renny. (Spend 25 rage) Is removed out of combat.
Magnezone: Trainer action Guiding Support to Jeanette's Kyogre.
Kyogre: Uses Divided Sheer Cold on Toxique A and Wretch B. The one move made AOE is boosted By Guiding Support to have 100% accuracy. Both OHKO.
(Kyogre's presence means Rain Dance should be in effect)
Pachirisu: Helping Hand on Renny.
Impact: Rage Rocket to Renny.
Renny: Paradigm Shift > Psycho Cut on Granx. Attack Boosted, Helping Hand, Paradigm Shift boosted, 50% crit rate for reaching Crit level 5 (see link below) and Double Effective for 8x multiplier due to the crit.
Arceus: Uses Psychic type Judgement on Granx. Doubly Effective.
Matthias: Divided Sleep Powder on both Jeanette clones.
Jeanette: Rain Dance Boosted Industrial Pressure Washer on Granx if he's still alive. If Granx is dead, target Wretch A. 100% accuracy
Impact: Attack Granx with Dragon Slave if he is still alive. Boosted with Attack Booster. Super Effective. If Granx is dead, target Toxique B

Overall gist of the plan: Wipe out all but the machine, clones and a few wretches due to OHKO moves and Quad weaknesses in enemy groups. The clones will be put to sleep so they remain pretty harmless. A few attackers might get poisoned due to counterattacks, but the results leave little time for any poison damage to actually set in.

If you guys agree with the plan, I'll make a final draft of it with all the details in full.


EDIT: As for my ESTOC character/s, it's the trio of guys as one character, the Dugtrio pokebrid. Dave and David are kinda like "those two guys" while also doubling as the voice of reasons. Davis on the other hand is the guy who totally is too dumb to live (while trying to seem smart), picks fights, and generally drag the other two guys in trouble as well. Feel free to have your characters step on them just as they pop out of the ground, run them over with a shopping cart as they pop up, trip on them and blame it all on them and so on. ^^ Oh, and he'll shout out things that are meant to be discussed in private and such like that (or say things that should not be even be THOUGHT OF nevermind said). And of course, he'll be gravely offended if you try to talk to the other two and not him. He HAS to be the center of attention, despite the other two being more favorable to chat with.

Well, I believe AB mentioned that PATCA scouters could recognize Ditto Pokebrids, and there are probably other means to pick them out of a crowd, too.

But for the purposes of kidnapping Myrie Ricewood, one would've sufficed.

[Menarker]

Ah, AB did mention that, yes. I tried to push the memory out of my mind because the alternative lead to daydreams too horrible to contemplate nevermind type in full.

That said they don't specifically have PATCA scouters thus far, although Faynoc could very well make something like that himself (or Horace could easily take one off Pierce's corpse and copy it).

[Dracorion]

You mean, Ditto Pokebrids?

Come on, man. That Google search wasn't that mentally scarring.

[Menarker]

No, something else entirely. Had nothing to do with the google search

[Dracorion]

So, why aren't you saying it?

You say every other horrifying thing your disgusting mind thinks up.

[Menarker]

Well, I certainly didn't know that those particular things fell into the "horrifying" camp. I thought it was par for the course.

School ending, finals next week. Might get an Umbralite post, but don't expect much.
