Battles 11-15 were a mixture of sequels and new character introductions, and contained more hints as to my actual plans for a plot for this thing. Also, a good bit more Star Wars. I like Star Wars.

<< Tournament 1 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | Newer >>

This battle introduces a new character following a brief cameo in the tournament, a suitably deranged pastiche of the old hardboiled detective commonly seen in film noir and thriller / mystery novels. He is one of the few characters able to leave a battle more aqua than red. He also isn't the most reliable narrator.

Battle #11: Hard Boiled August 5, 2021
Location: Crime Scene, Vermillion City Dockyard
Player: Sam Excavator, Private Investigator [No Record]

The tenderloin sky was as dark as an overdone hamburger, and the air smelled just as burned.
The body didn't give me much to go on, but it was as plain as a day in the Swiss Alps what had happened.
Some gorilla had folded the poor mickey's spine into an accordion and played the hard polka on him with brass knuckles. Maybe it was family business, maybe it was just a private grudge, but either way the bloke was so smashed up it was hard to make head or tail of him.
Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps coming up behind me.
Enemy RATICATE appeared!
It was a big, mean looking sewer rat, with a look like I'd just made its mother into Sunday dinner - and it was about to return the favor.
Naturally I couldn't let it anywhere near the stiff. Or me. So I whipped out the trusty six-shooter I had under my coat and lit the big rodent up.
Go! SIXSHOOTER!
SIXSHOOTER used LIGHT UP!
The room was lit up!
With the light from my gat's muzzle flash I noticed two things.
The rat's paws were bloody, like a wolf's mouth fresh from the kill.
And it wasn't alone.
Enemy ROCKET appeared!
There was a lean-and-hungry looking man in a cheap suit with a big letter "R" splashed on it like a sports team logo, and a bullwhip like he'd just gotten out of a private club.
I hoped it was a riding club.
ROCKET: ...It's just part of the uniform. We use it to keep our Pokémon in line.
ROCKET: Not that you're gonna be here very long. I'm on the cleanup crew.
ROCKET: Also, why are you talking to yourself...
NARRATOR agrees!
Of course they wouldn't understand. They haven't seen the things I've seen or lived in the places I've lived.
They say not to judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
There's a reaeson for that. And my shoes are size nineteen.
ROCKET: Oh, he's just nuts... Makes my job easier, I guess. Raticate, use Super Fang!
Enemy RATICATE used SUPER FANG!
It's super effective!
The angry sewer rat chewed up my poor gat and tossed it straight in the drink. Then it came at me with its teeth bared.
I knew I only had one shot left - the slug of brandy I kept for real hard times and Saturday nights. I pulled it out and got ready to give the rat a taste of good old-fashioned American moonshine, straight to the noggin.
Go! BRANDY!
BRANDY used MOONSHINE!
The moonlight is bright!
Enemy RATICATE used ERATICATE!
BRANDY Was fully ERATICATED!
Enemy RATICATE is intoxicated!
Enemy RATICATE joined you!
That didn't work out too well. The rat snatched the bottle from my hands and messed it up like an angry cat with a plushie, but it drained the bottle dry too. Turns out a taste of brandy works just as well to warm up a rat as it does to warm up a human.
BRANDY fainted!
Of course, that did leave me with nothing left but my own self, up against that lanky practitioner. He cracked his whip menacingly at me...
SAMXCVT sent out SAMXCAV!
ROCKET sent out WHIP!
Ally RATICATE sent out RATICATE!
My new friend the sewer rat wasn't looking in any condition to fight, so I ran in fast and gave that whip a taste of old fashioned Chicago-style grappling.
SAMXCVT used CHICAGO GRAPPLE!
Enemy wHIP was frozen solid!
As it turns out, Chicago winters get colder than a dame who's just found out you're broke. I tossed the frozen whip out of the way and went for the goon wielding it.
ROCKET sent out ROCKET!
Ally RATICATE used RAT!
RATICATE ratted out TEAM ROCKET's whole plan!
ROCKET: Ix-nay on aring-shay the an-play, rat! The boss will have all our heads for this!
It was a lot to take in. Here was this sewer rat talking about genetic engineering. Splicing DNA up and putting it back together like a kid's first erector set. Cloning a god and making it their war machine. That failed ages ago - now the rat was chatting about their new project.
I couldn't make heads or tails of it - some sort of unseelie balloon shark from Hell - but I knew they'd give me a pair of cement shoes if I knew any of this.
So I'd just have to give them the same first.
SAMXCVT used CEMENT SHOES!
Enemy ROCKET was bashed with SHOES full of CEMENT!
A critical hit!
Enemy ROCKET fainted!
That was it then. This bloke on the ground, he'd gotten into something way bigger than this city and way bigger than him, and this Team Rocket gang had had him whacked for it. And now I was in it deep too. Well, wasn't that just the apple of a baby's eye...
SAMXCVT won!
One more notch on my belt, for better or for worse.

The player this battle is a brazen mockery of '90s antiheroes. He's totally a cyborg or something.

It's not very effective...

It's super rusty!
Oh, woe is me, woe woe woe! I lose my katanas! I am impaled, now to die of a broken heart and a broken gut! Never to know love or happiness! Oh, sorrow, trauma!
NAHMAN used ANGST!
It's not very effective...
NAHMAN fainted!
ROCKET EXECUTIVE: Wow, what a pathetic excuse for a hero... At least I got these swords out of him.
ROCKET EXECUTIVE won!
ROCKET EXECUTIVE went off to give KATANAS a rust-removal bath and other TLC and repair!

Pirate was actually pretty fun to write so here he makes his yar-har-harish return. Contrary to the original Almighty Webmaster's impression, there is a treasure trove of jokes and to be found in things piratical and maritime.

Star Wars: Empire At War is a good game. The expansion, Forces of Corruption, is extremely silly but also good. I wrote this battle on the spot, rather than drawing from my queue. I was inspired.
