Free Roam: Route 116

Oh, a little Nincada. Lambda grudgingly instructed Robin down, despite wanting to train Noel like hell. She thought about it– catch or what? She considered the speed of a Ninjask. Speed Boost, Swords Dance, and Baton Pass... That was worth something. "Try not to knock him out, all right, Robin?" ... Although she didn't have high hopes for this dim-looking fellow.

"Actually, lemme try something." She approached the li'l bug herself and squatted down. "Hey. Wanna be my buddy?"

FAILURE

The nincada stared at her, chittered slightly, then lowered its claw and appeared to go back to sleep, evidently deciding that this girl and her pokemon were not an actual threat to him.

Lambda kept smiling. She stood up and backed away. She faced the Nincada, and raised an arm to point at it.

"Peck, Robin."

The bird nyoomed forth to hit the poor thing.

Nodding at the fruits of the training, George calmly returned everyone to their Pokeballs. To be frank, he was quite surprised Jackson and Renegade weren't at each others throats after the disaster that was Renegade's capture. There was probably something he didn't notice, so he merely shrugged and strode deeper into the route. Maybe he'd find something else interesting on this route to capture. "Now..what will be on the prowl today?"

Hit! It's super effective!

After Defense modification - 14 damage inflicted.

The nincada slowly opened its eye and glared at the bird, twitching slightly before it lashed out with one of its claws, trying to pin the fletchling to the ground for further attacks. (Since this is not a Move action, Quick Attack and Gale Wing do not trigger)

3+ needed to hit, 1d12+12 damage

Hit! 23 damage - 3 Defense. 20 damage dealt! Robin goes to 8hp remaining!


The blow landed heavily, pinning the bird to the ground by a wing as the bug-type slowly crawled on top of it, chittering threats as it prepared to use Leech Life. It is now Lambda's turn.

Oh, son of a bitch. "Okay, you asshole." She didn't even think to throw a pokeball; she ran forward with the intention to punt the bastard off her Fletchling. "Eat a shitkicker!" she yelled– and proceeded to take a swing with her shoe.

George failed to notice the first Zigzagoon that zipped past his leg. He noticed the second. And the third. The fourth, admittedly, caught him by surprise as it barged into his stomach and then nocked him to the ground before racing away. The fifth paused on top of his chest, sniffed, and grabbed two of his pokeballs before running in the same direction.

George cannot use Renegade or Jackson until he retrieves their pokeballs.

Strength check succeeds


The nincada went skirting along the floor, chittering madly before it managed to right itself - and, as a precaution, used Harden. 
It is now Robin's turn.

The bird righted herself after her trainer pulled that stunt off. She didn't know Lambda had it in her! This was a good trainer to fight alongside. Assuming that she was still to go with Peck– Lambda looked pretty mad– Robin darted forward, pushing on a burst of speed. That bug would pay!

Catching his breath after recovering from the gutshot the Zigzagoon had given him, George scowled at the horde. They'd taken his hardest hitters too, leaving him with his weaker partners. Yet they were oddly prefect for the job. Reaching into his pack for Cecillia's pokeball, he chased after the horde and called forth the tiny caterpillar. "Alright, it's time for a rescue mission. Come on Cecillia!"

Attack missed.

Almost lazily, the Nincada raised one of its pincers to bat aside the Fletchling's beak, and once again stood its ground, using Harden once more just in case that trainer decided to step on him or something. 
(DEF at 50% higher than normal)

Striking fear into the hearts of...just about nothing, really, Cecillia appeared out of her Pokeball looking none too happy with the horde of Zigzagoons. Those were her friends...at least Jackson was. The other bird was scary! Inching forward towards the horde, she let out a cry and unleashed the unholy abomination that is String Shot at the horde.

Just how did such a tiny body produce so much string?!

Lambda couldn't help but stare– what the hell, Robin– before shaking her head. She pulled out her Pokedex; now that she'd cooled her head a bit– in one hell of a way– she needed to analyze the situation some. She scanned it. More information would be nice before she did anything more.

While the String Shot didn't quite manage to slow any of the Zigzagoon down a noticeable amount, they were now fully aware of the other pokemon's presence and prepared for battle.

Zigzagoon #1's turn

The first Zigzagoon - and the culprit that had stolen the pokeballs - figured out what was happening, and spends his turn tossing one of the two over to a different Zigzagoon to make it harder for them to take their shinies away from them. 

Zigzagoon #2's turn

The second Zigzagoon darts forwards towards Cecilia, attempting to land a Tackle. (4+ to hit, 2d8+8 damage)

The Zigzagoon has hit Cecilia for a modified total of 4 damage, bringing her down to 27hp and not even budging the bug from her spot. It is now Cecilia's turn.

The pokedex scan will be complete in one round. It is now Robin's turn.
