There's no way FLORENCE is getting a win out of you by default. He'll never let you live it down. GO, TOTODILE!
-[X] "Hope you brought a toolbox, cause i'm gonna break your machine!"
You draw your pokeball and throw it into the nearby field!
"Hope you brought a toolbox, 'cause I'm gonna break your Machine! Go, TOTODILE!"
The glasses-wearing blue gator you got from Professor Mangrove jumps out of the pokeball in an explosion of light and crouches down, looking back and forth in the field until it sees you.
"Game on, Aura! Go, THE MACHINE!"
He throws his pokeball, and a stubby little owl creature pops out with a pair of Groucho glasses on its face! It hoots with fighting spirit!
"Why's your Rowlet wearing those goofy glasses?" you ask Florence with barely-restrained laughter.
"It's fashionable!" he says defensively. "Now shut up and fight!"
RIVAL FLORENCE WANTS TO BATTLE!
INITIATIVE
Totodile: 1D6 + 3
5 + 3 = 8
The Machine: 1D6 + 4

FLORENCE & THE MACHINE GO FIRST
"You're not gonna be laughing for long! The Machine, use Tackle!"
Tackle: Accuracy Check
The Machine's Dexterity + Brawl = 2D6
4, 6 = 2 Successes!
Tackle: Damage Roll
The Machine's Strength + 2 - Totodile's Defense = 2D6
1, 2 = Minimum Damage!
Florence's doofy Rowlet stumbles on his own talons when he dives down to tackle your Totodile, but he still lands a hit!
-1 HP
Your Totodile pushes the Rowlet off her with a shove! It glares at you and delivers a frustrated chitter while the Rowlet rolls away harmlessly.
"What'd I do?" you ask her
"You picked a fight with the wrong trainer!" Florence shouts. In the heat of the moment, he may have forgotten he was the one who picked this fight to begin with.
"Don't you talk to my baby that way!" your mom chides while recording the event with her camera mounted on a tripod.
"Sorry, Ms. Aura's Mom!"
"Don't apologize!" his father interjects! "Never surrender!"
A small crowd was coming together to watch the battle, cell phones raised to record your first fight. Or your parents fight. You aren't sure which is more of a spectacle to these people.
You tune them out. As much as you wanted to ignore your "rival", its time to show Florence you mean business. Your move.
How will you proceed?
