This time Baobab is firmly smacked with mud. Of course, mud doesn't phase him that much. Another round of eggs jumping at Mudkip ensues. Baobab uses Barrage! AC 2 vs QevdyTma1d20+1, crit 18+ Five-strike roll: 1d8 Four hits! 2d8+16 Physical Normal damage 1d20+1·1d8·2d8+16

And that's it! It's game over as the second water type falls. Brian looks a bit forelorn for having lost in round one and not even to type advantage or anything.
"Ah well. Good luck man. You gotta win now that you beat me."
(30 poke xp and 1 misc xp)

"Trust me, I plan on it." Nori smiles back at Brian. "No hard feelings, huh? If we run into each other again you can give me a rematch sometime."

He merely nods and walks off to watch the rest of the tournament.

Nori, meanwhile, goes to get Baobab healed up and waits for his next opponent to be announced. "That was a fantastic job! We've got this in the bag." Baobab trills and does another little egg dance.

A rather thin girl approaches Nori.
"Hey. I overheard you talking earlier, you like Kaiju stuff, right? I mean that's cool and all, but how do you like other classics? About smaller stuff? Like that classic Glitch Zone episode 'Into the center of dratini'? Where even blood cells are Kaiju in size?"
She muses for a second.
"Lets see how your future Kaijus do against the tiny ones!"
She releases a Drifloon into battle!
Drifloon - 7

"Oh, that episode's cool! The bit with the white blood cells attacking the sub?" Nori can't seem to stop grinning. This tournament is great for meeting people with cool attitudes. "Classic Glitch Zone is great, but I still like kaiju movies better. Guess this means it's time for me to prove bigger is better!"
He tosses out Ordira's ball, and she obligingly does her best Tyzilla stomp and gives a little, high-pitched roar.
Ordira - 2

"Ah, I knew I'd find someone like-minded in you. Names Alexa. For now though..."
She orders the drifloon to... in fact... grow small!
(Uses Minimize!)

Oh, that's not good. "C'mon, monster queen, shake it off!" Ordira needs to stay in this, at least long enough to mostly take this Drifloon down, because Baobab is probably not going to stand up to it nearly as well and has no way to take it down at all. Ordira shakes herself, then glares at the Drifloon and blasts it with water again. Nori spends 1 AP to use Pain Resistance; Ordira takes 10 less damage from the attack. Ordira uses Water Gun! AC 2 vs Y2un5J6|1d20+1, Crit 18+ 2d6+14 Special Water damage Ordira activates Cruelty! Drifloon gains 1 Injury. 1d20+1·2d6+14

Ordira topples over under the blast of wind... and doesn't get up again. Nori sighs and recalls her. "Well, that's kind of it for me. My other Pokémon doesn't know any moves that can touch a Ghost-type. So I guess small things win... this time."
Nori flashes Alexa a crooked smile. "We should do this again sometime, though. Your Drifloon packs a punch but when we're stronger we'll see who gets stomped flat."

Alexa is happy her Drifloon won, but when Nori surrenders because of the typing, she thinks about it, growing more and more conflicted. She finally stamps her foot down.
"Mmmmm, no! I know my Drifloon's at an advantage against younger pokemon, but she's been with me most of my life and I didn't want to leave her out before coming here. But... I guess it is unfair..."
She thrusts her hand out, thumb pointing to the side.
"Here's the deal boy! You and I use our new captures. One against one. And then sometime later, you and I have a movie night. Loser pays. Winner picks the movie."
She smirks.

Well. That is an interesting offer. Nori can hardly turn down a chance at getting to finish the match, and movie night doesn't sound like a bad deal. Alexa's shown enough taste so far that even if he loses it's probably going to be a fun movie.
... This is sounding suspiciously like a date, but hey, he can respect a girl who knows what she wants even if that's a first date on the basis of a battle. Movie night is pretty low-pressure as dates go.
"Like I'm gonna say no to that? You're on. And... thanks." His grin turns into a softer smile for a moment, then widens again. "Now let's see what your new capture can do against mine. Baobab, Seeds of the World Tree!" He's just made up the epithet on the spot, but it'll work pretty well until Baobab evolves.
All healed up and flush with carrying their first match single-handed - or whatever the equivalent is for half a dozen eggs - Baobab bounces about as he's sent out again.
Baobab's - 5
