Monster House Larvitar - Dungeon Thread

[Sundance]

As soon as you enter the dungeon, you are immediately faced with an angry-looking Roggenrola; well, maybe angry? You couldn't tell, but it seemed relatively hostile. The cavern you are placed in is large and rectangular; you can see a few items in the distance but cannot tell exactly what they are. As well as that, you can spot a sleeping Aron just behind the Roggenrola; you're sure you could attack first, the Roggenrola doesn't seem too fast.

[Holly]

Taking on such a hard mission as her first with the guild... well, to be frank it was a supid idea. Holly knew that. When she had crossed over from the E missions to the harder ones with her shiny new explorer badge gleaming around her neck, she could already hear the snickers from the older more experienced veterans. When Holly had signed her name and claimed the mission, an older fearow had come over and tried to kindly explain to Holly that she would perhaps be safer taking one of the easier missions.

"I'll be plenty fine, thanks" was her curt response.

Nervertheless, Holly was stubborn, not stupid, and by dinner that night, she had relented - well, at least a little. A note had been stuck at the bottom of the mission board, explaining that if anyone else wanted to come along, Holly wouldn't turn them away. After all, she supposed, completing the mission and capturing this fellow was more important than her dignity.

That didn't mean she had to be nice about it, however. The following morning, when the mission was actually scheduled to start, Holly had quickly checked the board and replaced her old note with a new one, seeing that a houndour had signed up to join her.

I'll meet you there. -H

And so she had gone off ahead, the first to appear in the dungeon. It would be just her luck that there was immediatly an enemy in front of her, and a rather mad looking one at that.

"Great" Holly sighed in exasperation as she ran in to meet the enemy head on, ducking her head to the side at the last minute as she slammed into the rock pokemon at the last minute, attempting to knock him over.

Holly used Tackle on the Roggenrola!

[Silvain]

To be quite honest, Silvain hadn't known why he had signed up to go with an unknown Pokemon on a difficulty B mission; maybe it was the sense of the unknown, going into a high-stress enviornment with a stranger and no idea how they work together. Maybe it was the challenge, the reward, the glory; although, frankly, it was probably only because he wanted to meet someone new, and what a great opportunity! Maybe they would even bond, the dog pokemon had read somewhere that people often bonded over stress-full situations, so perhaps he would make a new friend today.

Tail wagging, Silvain stepped into the dungeon with his tongue lolling from his mouth, glancing around a bit.His fiery, red eyes landed on the site of a Noibat slamming into the rocky body of a Roggenrola. He watched with anticipation as it's body rolled off to the side, before returning his attention to the Noibat that had tackled the enemy pokemon. He tipped his head to the side -perhaps she was his partner? Questions flickering through his head, he turned back to the recovering Roggenrola and decided questions could wait. Bounding over to the rock pokemon, Silvain felt flames begin to lick the inside of his maw, before bursting from his mouth, directed straight at the opposing rock Pokemon.

He leapt back, sucking a breath back in before glancing towards Holly. He flashed a grin at her, desperately hoping she was not one of those rude, gruff Pokemon and that they'd actually get along. "You're my partner right?" he wondered, flicking an ear idly. he didn't wait for her response. "I'm Silvain!"

[Judas Khavren]

WITH OUR FINAL BREATH WE WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH ✿ Judas had already selected a relatively easy looking mission in his level range when he had seen this one. It was promising, but in a tough dungeon. Still... wasn't that exactly what he needed? Stronger pokemon to fight would mean he would only advance faster. That was all he needed, was just to be a bit stronger.  He was a long ways from evolving, but he might never get there if he spent his days picking only the easiest dungeons and doing only those challenges he felt sure he could best. Not to say he was going to abandon his other mission... but it wasn't entirely unheard of people to tag multiple missions at once. Still, Judas was discreet. It would draw attention for someone as low leveled as him to try a bigger mission like this, and attention was the last thing he needed.   Perhaps he had waited to long to start though. Certainly Judas had not expected company when he arrived. Yet when the noibat descended into the dungeon there was already a fight in progress, and it quickly became clear that two of the pokemon did not belong in this dungeon. A houndour fought side by side with... another noibat. Golden eyes narrowed slightly, strange feelings coming over him. Had he ever actually seen another of his kind? Judas failed to remember a time, the closest he knew was his mother, a fully evolved Noivern.   Hovering uncertainly, Judas refrained from touching down on the rough ground of the cave, watching the battle warily and glancing around the room. There was no easy way to leave the dungeon now, it was far too late for that now. The only way was forward, and if he did that there was little point in not doing what he came here to do. But... how was this supposed to work out with these strangers? Indecision hung over the noibat, yet as the houndour charged forward to join his winged companion in fighting off a roggenrola Judas bit his lip slightly and sighing, rushed to help. Staying back out of distrust, Judas went with a more supportive move, beating his wings to kick up a tailwind for these two strangers.

Holly used tackle on Roggenrola! It's not very effective...
Roggenrola Health - 25/26

The rock-type didn't even seem to be faze by being slammed into, even though it bounced backwards and fell. Seemingly unaffected, the Roggenrola rolled on it's back and stood once more, angling it's singular, dark crevice at Holly. Maybe the Roggenrola was looking at her, but you couldn't really be sure.

Silvain used Ember on Roggenrola! It's not very effective...
Roggenrola Health - 21/26

The flames licked at Roggenrola's body, yet it continued to stand there, as if unaffected. It did make some rather painful looking sear marks on it's rocky body, but other than that, it looked as if the defending Pokemon didn't care at all.

Judas used Tailwind! It raised the party's speed stat!

The roggenrola didn't even seem to look at Judas. It simply began to shamble towards Silvain.

Roggenrola used Tackle on Silvain! It did 8 damage!
Silvain's Health - 12/20

The rock-type slammed into the dog Pokemon, it's added weight making the attack more painful. As soon as the Houndour had been knocked back, the Roggenrola stepped back and looked towards Holly calmly.

( Holly , Judas Khavren , Silvain )

[Holly]

Flames licked at the roggenrola and Holly swooped up and out of the way, just narrowly avoiding the searing burns. She glanced once briefly behind her and gave a brief nod to the Houndour who could only be her partner. For all that Holly wasn't the fondest of waiting behind for other people, she could see how little damage her attack had done to the enemy. As much as she hated to admit it, she would very much need the help of her partner to face down enemies like this. "Took you long enough. Holly." she replied curtly by way of greeting, flapping her wings quickly to zoom higher up in the air where she would hopefully remain safe.

What she didn't expect was the convenient wind that suddenly gusted into her back, sailing Holly ahead much faster than she would have expected. The Tailwind was a welcome blessing, but Holly hadn't been able to use that move herself, so who...? She looked around, surprised to see the familiar shape of another Noibat flying through the air with her. What? Noibat weren't exactly as common as your average ratatta, so Holly had certainly not expected the appearance of one now. Nor had she recalled seeing another name signe up this morning.

Well, whoever this guy was, Holly could deal with him later. Right now, there was a battle to be won, and it didn't look like her current efforts were yielding much results. The rogenrolla didn't even seem to pay attention to the attacks as it just slammed into her partner, hitting the houndour with what sounded like a very painful crunch. "Oy, leave 'em alone." Holly snarled of her enemy. What point would a partner even be if they died in your first battle together?!

The roggenrola was simply...staring at them now. "What do you even want?" Holly demanded of it, even as it turned to stare calmly at her. She was beginning to get annoyed - why all this interest it had in her? Couldn't it talk like a normal pokemon?

Ugh, the heat of battle was not the time for this! Opening her mouth, Holly let out a deafening screech. Fortunately it was too high for most pokemon to hear, directed straight at the rock type pokemon. "If you can confuse it, now would be a good time." Holly called over her shoulder at the other Noibat.

Holly used Screech on Roggenrola!

[Silvain]

Silvain peered up at Holly expectantly, although made sure to at least keep one eye on the battle. Fortunately, the Houndour was great at holding conversations in one paw while managing battles in the other, a skill he had acquired over the years of being rather friendly and adventurous at the same time. Even so, Silvain's smile faltered a bit at the Noibat's curt, rather pointed reply, glancing this way and that before returning his fiery gaze back on her. His smile returned, deciding to let it slide. "Well, I'm here now! Just in time, too." her responded, flicking his attention back to the cool, unaffected Roggenrola. Lowering his body, Silvain narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, only to feel a strong wind brushing the fine hairs of his back.

He whipped his head around, flames licking among the depths of his bright, fiery eyes as he focused on the Noibat that had just entered. He quirked a brow and glanced back to Holly, an unspoken question ringing through his mind as he looked to her for answers. He had not recalled any other names on the shoddy note that called for help, but perhaps he had been the first one. Shrugging Silvain went along with it, simply smiling as he looked back and forth between the two flying Pokemon. "Well, now I just feel out of place." he commented with a woof, hardly even noticing the approaching Roggenrola as it rushes at him. Glancing down, the Houndour only got a peek at the Rock-type before it slammed into his ribs.

Silvain flew back and bounced across the gritty, cave floor like a mere rag-doll. He rolled across the ground and flipped a few times, before slamming against a jagged rock wall. A weight lifted from his side, but the dog Pokemon still laid there, clenching his eyes shut in pain as he struggled to recover from the hit. A few moments passed before Silvain showed signs of consciousness, eventually coming up to his paws with a slight, uncertain wobble in his gait. "Urk..." he grumbled painfully, letting a cough shudder out from his throat. "That one hurt..." his voice trailed off, wincing in pain as he felt his ribs begin to ache from the attack.

Coughing once more, Silvain stepped forward and glanced to his new allies, a sudden determination replacing the pain that had dulled his fiery gaze. Feeling fire crawl up his throat, he bounded forward and opened his maw, letting flames flicker out and engulf the Roggenrola once more, the crackle of flames filling his ears.

Silvain used Ember!

[Judas Khavren]

IN THIS LIFE THERE'S NO SURRENDER THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR US TO DO ✿ Judas was silent as the two seemed to banter back and forth. Strange, he had taken them for a team, yet they seemed to have only just met... on the other hand, both seemed to expect the other to be there, and the noibat's curt response told him they had actually planned to meet. So how was it that he happened to have the misfortune to show up at the same time as them? He could feel both turning to watch him when they felt his Tailwind at their backs, and Judas tried studiously to ignore them and focus on the roggenrola. The hairs on the back of his neck prickled, and he blocked off any thoughts of them for the moment. They were in a battle, distractions could not be afforded.   And indeed, the houndour's distraction was returned with a harsh blow. A grimace crossed Judas' features, the blow had been enough to send the fire type skidding across the floor and knock him unconcious for several moments. That was not a good sign, and he had a feeling him and the other noibat would likely far even worse, their forms were certainly more delicate than that of the dark type's. The other noibat was already reacting to her teammate's hit, her jaws opening as a screech almost out of his hearing range was directed at the rock type.   By the time this 'Holly' had turned her head to call back at Judas he had already decided upon that very course of action, riding his own Tailwind  to circle the roggenrola with the other two pokemon, letting his own much screech as the houndour shrouded it in flames, his cry loud and piercing as he directed it at the rock type.

Holly used tackle on Screech! It lowered the opponents defense!

The enemy, while seeming cool and collected throughout the whole battle, seemed rather distracted by the ear-splitting screech elicited from the flying Noibat, seeming to turn this way and that uncertainly. It seemed a little preoccupied with the screech that it didn't have much time to defend itself from Silvain's ember.

Silvain used Ember on Roggenrola! It's not very effective...
Roggenrola Health - 17/26

Despite the extra help from a distracted enemy, Silvain's ember only did as much as it had done last time, just a little sear on the edges of rock. Sure, the Roggenrola did seem a bit hurt, but not by much. It simply rolled to it's side, rose, and stared at the party once more with an eerily cool air.

Judas used Supersonic! It missed!

Despite the supersonic screech that echoed through the cave, it seemed to simply bounce off the rocky exterior of the Pokemon, who seemed completely unaffected. It simply stood, there, although had slowly began shuffling towards Silvain once more.

Roggenrola used Tackle on Silvain! It did 8 damage!
Silvain's Health - 4/20

Th rock-type hit Silvain in the same place as before, perhaps simply because it was easier than hitting two flying types. Roggenrola skidded across the ground with the Houndour, then rose to it's feet, and hopped back silently, turning to stare at Holly expectantly.

( Holly , Judas Khavren , Silvain )

[Holly]

The Roggenrola slammed into the Houndour, and even Holly had to wince, surprised at the rush of sympathy that flowed through her. There was no denying it, had she been in this dungeon alone, she would have been dead by now. As it was, her newfound partner didn't look like he was faring too well, and of the three of them, he had been the only one dealing any damage to their opponent.

Looks like she'd have to step in herself. "Hang in there, bud." she called to Silvain as she folded in her wings and dove, praying that her screech from earlier would have a lasting effect, and more importantly, praying that this would hurt the opponent more than it would her. She aimed directly for the rock pokemon, hoping to run right into it. Flying types weren't exactly what one might call hardy.

"What do you want from me?" she snarled to her opponent, fed up with seeing it just...just stare at here, even as it was attacking the other houndour. "Stop staring at me and say something, darnit! At least attack me for once!" She landed on the ground in front of the creature, flaring her wings out challengingly. At least if the creature attacked her, she would have Leech Life to heal herself. The move was a little reckless for something Holly might normally do, but she had lost patience with this battle. Their attacks were doing so little when compared to this stronger pokemon. Were they really that weak? Was there nothing they could do to end this fight?

And why did it keep staring at her?

Holly uses Tackle on the Roggenrola!

[Silvain]

He shut his agape maw suddenly, tasting charred embers recede back from his mouth as his move calmed down. The dog Pokemon seemed to pant a bit, the energy sued to shoot the flickering flames from his maw making his ribs bloom with chocking pin-pricks of pain, like tiny needles digging into his side. He coughed and spluttered for a moment, stepping away from the battle so he could keep out of the way of his new companions as he suffered from the effects of multiple tackles by a heavy rock Pokemon. As soon as he glanced up, he caught the last seconds of Holly swooping in to ram at the Roggenrola, before the enemy began to charge at him once more.

Paws skidding on bare, rough rock and rubbing his pads uncomfortably, he tried to evade the tackle, only to get hit in the same place. He shut his eyes and let out a whimper of agony, feeling pain erupt from the spot where it hit him. He could feel his back hit the wall behind him, scraping loose rock and pebbles against his furry spine while he tried to recover from the heavy blow. He coughed and spluttered, making hacking noises that splattered crimson against the gray rock until he could speak again. "Oh Arceus..." he mumbled, breath growing heavy as he struggled to gather his paws beneath him.

"Hey, guys...?" he wondered quietly, letting another few coughs rack his ribs and send shoots of pain through his torso. "Is running an option? I don't want our prides to be hurt and all, but I'm not doing to well..." he let out a small laugh that made his side hurt, before turning his fiery eyes on the opponent. Suddenly, his eyes began to flicker with intimidating forest fires, making sure to direct all of the look at the Roggenrola. He was obviously trying to intimidate the Roggenrola, but it was debatable on how intimidating the puppy could be.

Silvain used Leer!

Silvain used Leer! It lowered the opponent's defense!

The Roggenrola turned to instead stare at Silvain, a mistake that it might later come to regret. Mesmerized by his flickering, red eyes, the Roggenrola seemed scared, or, as scared as a non-sentient rock might be. Neither of you could quite tell, anyways.

Holly used Tackle! It's not very effective...
Roggenrola Health - 13/26

Hit hard, the Roggenrola's spherical body rolled a few times on it's side, before eventually bumping against a rock wall and halting. It seemed minimally hurt, but it still reacted as if it's tumble caused some damage, so perhaps it was a success. Soon, it rose to it's feet, slowly returning to the spot it had been standing in previously, ever emotionless.

Roggenrola used Sand-Attack on Holly! Holly's accuracy fell!

Without warning, the rock-type suddenly kicked up sand from the ground beneath it, the grains going directly into Holly's face. The thing had impeccable aim, despite seeming to lack an eye.

[Holly]

Holly looked on helplessly at her partner. It was true that Silvain wasn't doing very well, and she had no illusions that it wouldn't take more than a hit or so for the pokemon to take her down herself. Still, they were so close, and with the three of them... Hang on...

Holly gave a quick twirl in midair, eyes narrowing in confusion. "Hey...where's our second Noibat?" she stared around her in some panic. They had been abandoned!

Well now they were doubly screwed. But still, the thought of giving up, of not even winning one battle... The rock type pokemon was injured. They should be able to manage at least this. "Can you hold on for one more round?" Holly called to Silvain. "There's still something I haven't tried yet, but if this doesn't work, we can run." she looked around the room, processing, before nodding to the two items - whatever they were - at the end of the room. "Go see if those can heal you! I'll distract it!" she called to Silvain, before diving towards the Roggenrolla again, this time opening her mouth and letting out a loud pulse, hopefully confusing the target.

"Come at me, you big bullying brute!"

Holly uses SUPERSONIC!

[Silvain]

His eyes returned to a normal color, the red receding to the very sides of his optics, leaving a dizzying effect in their wake. The Houndour shook his head wildly, the stuffy air of the cave filling in his lungs and causing his side to shock with a sharp pain. Letting out a soft whimper, he looked back up to the Roggenrola, frowning briefly towards Holly before returning his attention to the rock-type before them. He was unsure how long he would go on, but he was determined to help his new partner, that's for sure. He decided quickly that he wouldn't give up until he fell and couldn't move anymore, for he wasn't sure how the Noibat who fought beside him would fare alone.

He could feel flames lick the inside of his maw, a fire that surged forth from his throat and launched at the Roggenrola. Red, yellow, and amber lit up the dark room, flames flickering as embers snapped and crackled in an attempt to reach the ceiling. Pain seared in his torso, but Silvain refused to stop until he was sure the Roggenrola had been hurt, the flames finally receding and burning out. He coughed up smoke and staggered slightly, the pain in his side growing to be unbearable. he wasn't sure how much longer he could go on.

Holly's voice bounced off the walls of the jagged rock-face, causing his ears to perk and his head to swivel and stare. Her idea was good, but Silvain was quite worried about accidentally waking up the sleeping Aron just beside one of the items. Well, nothing venture, nothing gained? Pausing for only a moment longer, the puppy nodded firmly and raced up, skirting around the slumbering Steel-type to pocket the item just beside it.

Silvain used Ember and ran to get an item!

The Roggenrola was burned!
Roggenrola Health - 7/26

Embers flickered as they tried to lick the jagged rock ceiling overhead, searing the hard rock of the sturdy Roggenrola. As the flames receded, wear began to show on the seemingly unfazed Pokemon. Burn marks began to show up over it's body, where the flames had seared and singed it. The Roggenrola didn't have much time to focus on Holly before it heard waves of high-pitched screeches.

Holly used Supersonic! The Roggenrola became confused!

Despite the seeming lack of ears to pick up on the sound, the Roggenrola soon began to hobble a bit, nearly losing it's balance. Struggling to angle it's view at Holly, it barely noticed Silvain running somewhere to pick up an item.
