In Which Julie Inevitably Kills Kawaii Moemon: Finale Part 4/?
If our close call with Agatha has done anything, itβs made me thirstier for victory as we face Lance. The stories you hear about this guy in Nuzlockes, though, are nothing to laugh at.
previous β do we continue?
As you can see, we took a beating in our last fight.
Thankfully, weβve got a stockpile of healing items, and everyone is right as rain soon. Estelle, our hero against Agatha, is set to be our star once again against Lanceβs entourage of flying dragons. Lisette is finally going to take the stage, too.
I have heard of you too. I am deathly afraid of you.
Thatβs what Iβm worried about!
Itβs time to fight the demon himself!
Estelle is out first against arguably the easiest for her to take down.
He starts off with Dragon Dance, and suddenly Iβm not feeling so sure about Gyarados.
What was I worried about, though? Estelle, the champ that she is, kicks that thing to the curb without breaking a sweat.
Still, Lisette emerges to subdue Aerodactyl, who would probably kick Estelle to the curb right back.
Lisette, I knew I was right to drag you all the way here!Β
oh shit.
This spells out bad news. Weβve gotta kill it, and FAST.
ITβSΒ NOT ENOUGH
NO
SHE TAKES THE BOOSTED ANCIENTPOWER, SOMEHOW!
I MISSED THE SURF, BUT SHE DID IT!
Itβs time to get Lisette the hell out of here. Injured or not, sheβs a risky play in the best of times with her special defense stat. I switch out for Estelle as one of the two Dragonite on his rematch team comes out. Lance means business. Itβs time to pull out all the tricks up my sleeves, cheap or not.
I was afraid of this...
...but she isnβt quite taken down to yellow, and gets off Static!
That renders my move useless, however.
Estelle uses Double Team and gets off scott-free.
We go for another, just in case. Itβs looking like Outrage will be a 3HKO, but one Crit, and sheβs in trouble.
Outrage lands, but it does the expected damage, and the chance to set up for the rest of the fight proves worth the risk.
With Estelle brought back up to full health, weβre finally ready to live dangerously.
Dragonite is no longer locked into Outrage, and Lance is an enigma again. Itβs time to hope that Thunderpunch does the damage we need it to.
It looks like, instead, weβre in it for the long haul. As long as the Paralysis and Double Team keep working against him, she should be okay!
One more free Punch. if we could just get lucky one more time....
Dragonite gets off an attack and misses, but it doesnβt matter. Lance is bound to heal, now.
Luckily, I predicted this.
Using Thunderpunch is only going to get us locked back into the cycle of triggering the AI to heal, but doing too much damage will cause the same problem. Switching will render Double team null-and-void, so the only choice is to hope that Body Slam will do more than Thunderpunch, but not enough to put Dragonite in the yellow. The gamble pays off, and Dragoniteβs HP ticks to just about half full.
With much relief, itβs back to Thunderpunching.
Unfortunately, itβs been taking its toll on Estelleβs PP, and we have to sacrifice a turn to get it back up.
We trade another set of moves, and...
...the big bad dragon goes down!
Unfortunately, the battle against these beasts is not yet won.
ITβS TIME FOR A HEART ATTACK.
Thank goodness she survived, because we need Estelle to take this thing down. Lisette would be dead in seconds flat.
I used my turn to paralyze him.
Then, it was time to heal back up--but probably not for long.
Double Team paid off again, and Thunderpunch did just enough. I was going to hope that it would do the right amount of damage again.
It brought Dragonite right into the low end of yellow--perfect!
But no--Lance decided to heal. I guess it was too close for his comfort. Now itβs getting too close for MY comfort.
Thunderpunch didnβt do nearly what it needed to, and Earthquake must have missed, because Estelle is still kicking, somehow.
I decided to heal her up again, but I know...we canβt keep stalling the inevitable forever. Iβm not ready! We canβt throw in the towel for Estelle yet!
Last time I thought Estelle was done for, she pulled off a miracle. We have to try again. If I really canβt stop it, I can try and push it off just a little bit more. Weβre going to go down swinging, Estelle!
The killing blow misses. Estelle magic strikes again! Please, Estelle! Please pull this off somehow!
If sheΒ can just survive a little longer...
...she might have a chance. Please.
No.
NO.
YES!
YES!!
PLEASE, PLEASE, RNG, MAKE THIS A CRIT! DONβT KILL ESTELLE!
Nooooooo no no no.
Goodbye, Estelle. You did amazing.
Claudia comes out next, thirsty for vengeance for her fallen teammate.
And the last of the evil Dragonite is down.
I keep her out to take down Kingdra.
The stat boosting is an unpleasant start to the fight. Claudiaβs got to get that thing out of here.
Return does quite a bit of damage, but Kingdra is going to get the first move, and with its boosted attack, Iβm worried.
For some reason, it goes for surf. Um, okay. Claudiaβs got surprisingly high special defense. SheΒ will take that like nobodyβs business.
Return hits hard, and the last dragon is down!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
All thanks to our sweet Estelle. She was the spearhead of this battle.
Amazing.
Such shock. Much unexpected. Wow.
Guess itβs time then, guys. Time for the next and final fight...
...but one of our friends wonβt be coming with us.
Maybe I shouldnβt have left you out. Maybe I should have sent in Claudia to take care of it. But hindsight is 50/50, and whatβs done is done. All we can do now is move forward towards the end.
Rest in peace, Estelle. Weβll finish this for you.
