Using an item. And the fact that if your technique FAILS to knock them out, we'd get quite a bit of damage back. Damage we'd have to use more items to recover from.

Wildfire is bound to be a pretty foe and there are probably going to be more tough fights too. I'm pretty much for saving items.

Anyhow, we got enough attackers for 4 attackers on 3 soldiers or 3 attackers on 4 soldiers.

Soldier A: Impact Fire, Matthias Fire Blast, Nidoqueen's Sludge Bomb
Soldier B: Flich, Impact Fire, Buck's Fire Fang, Empoleon's Ice Beam
Soldier C: Flinch, Mollesk Rock Slide, Lanturn's Discharge, Moon's Kingdra's Dragon Pulse, Swampert's Hammer Arm
Solider D: Flinch, Mollesk Rock Slide, Lanturn's Discharge, Wilhelmina's Snipe,
Charizard: Flinch
Blaziken: Flinch (Blissey Sing?)
Typhsosion: Sleeping. Can ignore.
Infernape: Flinch. (Blissey Sing?)

It's one item, man. And we got a lot of Rocket Boosters, unless you wanna stack 'em up for mass Rocket Booster usage in one big battle.

We don't need to sustain it indefinately. We'll have already wiped out every one of them except for their trainers at the end of the next turn with the tactic I proposed. Then the situation will be completely unrevivable and unwinnable. Without taking any damage. We'd basically prove that we can perform an immense attack force while making any attacks they'd attempt to make rather useless.

Dracorion · 05-30-2010, 08:43 PM

Yes, yes, but which do you think will affect future enemies more: "Oh, gee, these dudes can make themselves immune to damage for a little while, big whoop" or "Holy shit, did that motherfucker just explode a fireball inside Bill's chest cavity?!"

Any attacks they'd attempt to make useless for a little while, you mean.

Menarker · 05-30-2010, 08:46 PM

Are other soldiers even watching? I presumed we'd be killing them so effectively, we'd have to prove it every time because there would be no witnesses. :3

So why bother taking the riskier path? Be a juggernaut, unkillable and unstoppable!

If we're just going for overkill, do you want me to use Renny's Item spread ability with the rocket (and one of you give me a replacement one)? Or you rather Renny use Focus with both his pokemons for double the power of Rock Slide and Hammer Arm? I mean, I might as well use my rage when I can...

On second thought, I might use Swampert's Ice Beam due to the special attack booster device.

Dracorion · 05-30-2010, 08:50 PM

If there aren't any other soldiers watching, what the hell's the point of proving ourselves invincible to this group? The riskier path is also much quicker, and their morale would be just as damaged if not moreso.

Well, this isn't a choice between Unkillable Offensive Powerhouse or Killable Offensive Powerhouse.
We could go unkillable, but it'd cost us offensively. And, like I said, I intend to prevent damge by killing everyone who could damage us.

Menarker · 05-30-2010, 08:53 PM

@Gem: And that's what my plan was going to do. ^^; We'd basically assure that we kill 3 or 4 of the soldiers while leaving the others (Only the trainers left by then) rather helpless to act.

Ah well.

@Drac: We wouldn't need to prove invincibility. Safety and efficent power would be its own reward if there was no witnesses. And the riskier path is only like 1 turn or maybe two turns faster?

EDIT: Also, I hope we're not recklessly assuming that all the trainer's pokemons are fire type.
It's possible they got the entire starter's team of water types, entire starter team of grass types and an entire team of 3 other types as well.

Dracorion · 05-30-2010, 09:00 PM

Hey those one or two turns could mean a lot. I mean, we're trying to be fast here.

Menarker · 05-31-2010, 01:09 AM

Ok, I did you all a favor and linked the character bios of the PCs of this RP to my signature. Now any time you need to see ANY of the bios, whether it is Renny, Pierce, Impact, Charlotte or Matthias, just find one of my many posts and go to the BIOs of POKEMON UMBRAL.

Pierce's Co-Op Technique is there in his bio.

And I guess we might as well use my plan so we don't waste items, if they are going to flee or die fast in the one turn AB hinted. (Except the trainers might all use Focus instead or something.)
