Zoop	Upa!
Drufle (GM)	Axel is also here with his Magnemite!
Cici	Oh, how cute!
Axel	Ah yes! Hello hello!
Drufle (GM)	And finally, Jack with his Bergmite! Nickle nods his head
Cici	Good to see you, sir!
Drufle (GM)	That intro music did not last quite long enough.
Jack	"Hello! I-I hope I can be useful!"
Will	(we'll fix it in post)
Jack	(are we doing quotes here)
Axel	(we have the technology)
Will	well for the real thing i assume this isn't real
PHOONE	i wasnt
Axel	Quotes? maybe
Drufle (GM)	Quotes yes.
PHOONE	o
Drufle (GM)	This is non-canon. Of course.
Jack	righto
Axel	No canons have been fired yet
Cici	pisser
Axel	This patch of grass shall never be seen again
Drufle (GM)	So, here we find ourselves in the busy little town of Marina.
Cici	i feel like for clarity i should say that cici has a braid, which goes straight down the middle of her back, to about the base of her neck
Drufle (GM)	Now I want that music playing.
Cici	and her hair is not in fact totally round god it's like so round
Axel	need back-sprites
Cici	the roundest
Drufle (GM)	Are you guys not in the new map. Did I do this wrong.
Cici	we r not

Will	no, you gotta drag the red banner
Axel	I appear to be lost
Will	in the map thing
Cici	do the thing
Axel	Um
Cici	o fuck
Drufle (GM)	Hows this?
Will	there we go
Cici	amazing what cg can do nowadays

Drufle (GM)	It's Onett town!
Cici	fUCK

Axel	ONETT
Will	of course
Jack	ohh I have never played earthbound
Axel	Thanks for reminding me that I still need to play that game
Drufle (GM)	A wonderful rendition, I think.
Axel	Someday...
Cici	wow the smash bros mix of this song is
Will	the bass is so earthbound
Cici	very different
Drufle (GM)	Isn't it though? I like it. Anyway. Here we are, again, in downtown Marina.
Axel	Cars? In a pokemon world? What is this hearsay?
Drufle (GM)	Axel, Cici, and Jack are here on a mission for their Professor.
PHOONE	BW was full of cars
Axel	oh
Drufle (GM)	While Will is hoping he doesn't really have to do this whole Trainer thing.
Axel	right dang it will, show some initiative!
PHOONE	gotta cross the street get away from john homestuck over here
Will	I'm sort of...wandering.
Drufle (GM)	The professors name, of course, is Professor... What was it, again?
Axel	Huckleburry?
Jack	TREE
PHOONE	not professor tree never again
Jack	SHRUB
Drufle (GM)	No, no, not tree.
Axel	I vote Huckleberry
Cici	that's not a tree!!
Jack	LIVERWORT
Axel	I. Don't. CARE
Will	I like Huckleberry honestly its got a nice ring to it
Drufle (GM)	Was his name Huckleberry?
Cici	professor maple? has that been done yet probably
Axel	Maple has been done twenty times over, I'm sure
Jack	it is now
Will	we're ignoring the real question
Axel	Huckleberry!
Will	is he a boy or a girl
Cici	spruce??
Will	the tables...have turned
Drufle (GM)	My, we have some terrible memories here.
Axel	We need to go exotic if we want trees
Cici	AM I A BOY, OR A GIRL??
Jack	Maidenhair
Will	Professor Coconut Tree
Cici	professor coconut was in the magical pokemon journey manga
Will	lets do it professor coconut
Jack	Professor Mer. Cocos D. Mer
Cici	she was actually like 12 years old and one of the protagonists tho
Axel	Aldar? Hawthorn?
Cici	i like hawthorn
Jack	Hawthorn yes
Will	you guys really should know your boss's name
Axel	My vote goes to Hawthorn then
Will	of course, i've never even met this professor
Axel	This is how our memory works
Drufle (GM)	Ah, of course! The Professor's name was Hawthorn! Silly us.
Axel	we argue with eachother untill it becomes real like that
Jack	now then, what was the name of the professor's rival?
Drufle (GM)	Now now, let's not be silly.
Axel	Huckleberry for the rival
Will	professor ASSBUTT
Drufle (GM)	The three of you are here in Marina to pick up a package for Hawthorn. He wanted to get it himself, but he had some work that needed done. And besides, you all could use the vacation.
Nickle	Target Aquired
Drufle (GM)	Marina is a rather uninteresting town, really.
Axel	Its got CARS
Drufle (GM)	A small coastal dock town.
Zoop	"Upapa!" Zoop says, jumping onto a parked car.
Axel	And STREETS!!
PHOONE	alright before we get into it
Axel	AND PEOPLE!!
PHOONE	whats our relationship with the kiddo here jack
Drufle (GM)	Ah, yes!
PHOONE	are we babysitting
Jack	who is everyone
Drufle (GM)	Who is this strapping young fellow.
Picture
Will	"Aah, hey, get down from there..!"
PHOONE	meanwhile wooper hotwires a car
Jack	let's assume you're both aides and I'm an intern
Axel	Zoop has a license, don't worry
PHOONE	GTA 6: Marina Town
Zoop	"Upa.." Zoop jumps down onto Will's head.
Picture
Drufle (GM)	And please ignore the exorbitantly anime character in the corner. He is clearly of no importance.
Jack	"This guy keeps looking at us"
Axel	he stands out almost as badly as the rest of us
PHOONE	some sorta goth!! dont make eye contact
Drufle (GM)	Luckily for the group of you, getting the package was the easy part.
Axel	So Chapter 1: Marina Town Delivery Service
Jack	"What an easy package to get!"
Will	"Zoop, we can't get into trouble..."
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, there have been some rumors around town that the local Pokemon have been a little... restless.
Will	"I guess you're excited though..."
Drufle (GM)	Getting back to the Lab might be harder than you originally anticipated!
Will	(im just talking to myself over here) Axel is distracted by his own thoughts
Will	is the lab in another town?
Axel	He isn't paying attention to the narrator
Drufle (GM)	It is! The town is a ways away from Marina.
Jack	"Mister Axel, isn't it dangerous for Nickle to be floating around all these cars?"
Drufle (GM)	I don't have the map available for you, but I will add it as soon as I can.
Axel	"Hm, what?" "Oh, no no. He's very well behaved"
Jack	"Well OK..."
Axel	I have an old copy of the map
Cici	"You know as well as I do, Axel, magnets and cars don't mesh well..." Nickle scouts around
Axel	"Well, yes"
Will	"(Hmm, where was that route exit again...?)"
Cici	"Who knows what sort of electromagnetic forces Nickle uses to levitate?" Axel remembers it all too well Brunt sweats profusely in the heat
Will	"(Do you remember?)"
Zoop	"(Upa.)"
Cici	"See, this is why I think cars are a terrible idea."
Brunt	he's actually melting
Will	"(Then we're lost. Good...)"
Axel	map reaquired
Cici	"Especially in an urban environment like this. There has got to be a better transportation method..."
Picture
Drufle (GM)	Ah, a map!
Axel	We go east Who's in charge of carrying the map?
Drufle (GM)	1 is the location of Marina.
Cici	why don't we give it to jack
Drufle (GM)	The Lab is at the intersection due east of Marina.
Jack	"Maybe Gogoats, miss Cici?"
Cici	"My thoughts exactly!" "Pokemon provide much safer and more reliable methods of transportation, in my experience."
Zoop	"!" Zoop bops Will on the head. "Upa." he says, pointing across the street.
Axel	"I can't image a Gogoat outrunning an automobile...perhaps Manetric?"
Cici	"Much better for the environment, too." Jack looks both ways
Drufle (GM)	Well, it would probably be best for the group to head out, as it were. Certainly nothing to do here. Nope.
Will	"Uhm...oh..."
Cici	"Well, if raw speed is your concern, I suppose machines are generally easier..."
Jack	"We need to head this way"
Will	"Looks like more trainers..." Nickle zaps Axel to attention
Cici	"Oh! Hold up!"
Jack	BUMP
Will	"M-maybe they're...let's follow 'em."
Axel	"Ack! What? Oh"
Will	Will tails the group from some distance.
Axel	"Wait Wait Wait! I'm coming!"
Cici	"Jack? Is this the way back out of town?" "I'm afraid everywhere in the city looks the same to me..."
Drufle (GM)	This is indeed the way!
Jack	"Well the map says we need to head east, so east I go!"
Drufle (GM)	Let's make our way back to the grasslands outside of Marina, shall we?
Axel	Yes, lets
Cici	"What about those wild pokemon? Are you both sure you're prepared?"
Axel	"I am always prepared!"
Jack	kinda wanted to bump into will and have a fight there, but ok Nickle casts a quizzical glance
Cici	"Pokemon fascinate me, but I've never been much of a trainer, myself. I'm not sure how Clara would fare against something... predatory..."
Clara	>:O
Axel	"Err...Nickle is always prepared!"
Will	"Ah...good, they were heading that way."
Drufle (GM)	Alright, let's make a move out!
Cici	youve been outmaneuvered by the sly sidestep skills of john homestuck
Jack	"We got here find didn't we? We'll be find going out again" FINE JEEZ
Drufle (GM)	:P
Axel	We'll fix it in post
Cici	oooh i love this song
Axel	Oh hey this musac
Drufle (GM)	Route 1!
Jack	he's STILL THERE
Will	"A-alright, Zoop...here we are..."
Axel	Route 1 represent!
Drufle (GM)	Who's there?
Will	"Route 1..."
Drufle (GM)	I don't know what you're talking about.
Jack	the weird goth!
Cici	drufle cant you like
Axel	He's following us
Cici	hide him in the closet or something i mean uh
Will	"Yep...wild pokémon live h-here..."
Axel	clearly part of team racket
Drufle (GM)	I don't know who you're talking about.
Cici	FORESHADOWING
Drufle (GM)	There's clearly nobody there.
Jack	LOCK YOU IN A CLOSET
Cici	team racket
Will	"You, uh...you're ready, right?"
Cici	a bunch of tennis-themed gangsters
Zoop	"Upa!!" Zoop yells, leaping upward. He is extremely ready!!
Drufle (GM)	Hm, do you hear that?
Axel	Roll attention! Cici giggles at the screaming wooper
Will	"G-good. M-me too. Yeah..."
Cici	or doesn't ???
Axel	How do I roll attention?
Cici	is he actually like 20 feet away from us or
Axel	roll d6?
Drufle (GM)	It's a 2d6. All rolls are 2d6.
Will	I'm not really hiding that much now
Axel	rolling 2d6 + 5( 6 + 6 )+5 = 17
Drufle (GM)	Will is just kind of, there.
Axel	I got 5 attention, I think
Cici	this is a totally flat field
Drufle (GM)	Wow. Ok.
Will	I guess they heard Zoop woopin
Axel	Oh wait, I seriously got 6s?
Cici	axel not only sees will but determines his age, blood type, and horoscope
Axel	I maxed my first roll
Drufle (GM)	Well not only do you hear Zoop, you hear the horde of Pokemon approaching from ahead.
Axel	"We got incoming!"
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 4 ) = 4
Cici	"Already? We've barely left the city..."
Axel	"Nickle! Prepare for battle!"
Will	Can I roll attention too
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 1 ) = 1
Will	since im not part of the group
Jack	"Oh no!"
Drufle (GM)	Sure! Oh dear.
Will	rolling 2d6 +6( 5 + 1 )+6 = 12
Drufle (GM)	Well Axel, I was going to keep this secret. Nickle revs up his magnets, spinning them
Drufle (GM)	And it will remain secret from Will.
Axel	hmmm?
Cici	whisper Cici turns back to that weirdo who's been tailing us
Drufle (GM)	dangit
Cici	"Hey, uh, you there! Guy!"
Streak	"Ngh!"
Cici	"It looks like we've got company!"
Will	"Ngh!"
Cici	"Is your wooper up to battle?"
Will	"U-uhm."
Axel	"Bug Poison! No problem!"
Will	"Eh?!" Cici turns back to Axel
Cici	"What exactly did you hear?"
Will	Will walks closer to the group.
Axel	"Scolipede"
Cici	"I can't really see anything yet...."
Drufle (GM)	Give me a few seconds to get the pogs ready.
Axel	"As well as Venipede"
Cici	"A scolipede?! This close to the city!? Are you sure?"
Will	"ahem U-um."
Axel	"I never doubt my ears!" Nickle rolls his eye and then greets Will
Nickle	"Bzzrtzzt"
Will	"A-ah." Will smiles at the Magnemite. "Hi..."
Zoop	"Upa!" Cici scans the horizon grimly Nickle zaps the others to get their attention
Cici	"I doubt we can outrun them, and they seem to be coming in fast."
Axel	"ACK!! WHAT!? Oh" "Hello sir" Cici turns quickly back to Will
Axel	oh jeeze thats a lot
Jack	"Don't do that Nickle!!"
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear, they seem to have noticed you!
Cici	"Are you sure you're ready to battle? We might be able to hold them off, and buy you some time to run back to the city." Nickle moves into battle position
Zoop	"Upa-pa!!" Zoop jumps up and yells a battle cry.
Picture	Nickle magnets fully reved up
Jack	oh no they're in formation
Zoop	And runs ahead
Clara	D:<
Drufle (GM)	The Scolipede hisses loudly and clacks its mandibles.
Will	"Zoop!"
Axel	"Oh...thats taller than I was expecting" Cici shakes slightly
Will	Will follows.
Drufle (GM)	So, who's taking on the Scolipede!
Jack	seems like everybody
Axel	"Ok, Bug Poison dueltype"
Cici	"Most of Clara's attacks will be useless against these creatures..."
Drufle (GM)	We'll make this two double battles, methinks.
Axel	"Weak to Rock, Fire, Flying...(goes on and on, repeating some)"
Drufle (GM)	Two of you against the Scolipede and two of its littles, and two of you against the remaining three Venipede.
Cici	"If memory serves, they're primarily physical attackers..."
Will	That's a lot of pokemon... Nickle prepares to fight the Scolipede while Axel mumbles to himself
Cici	"Do you think you can handle the scolipede, Jack?"
Nickle	Physical D in da HOUSE
Jack	"I'll give it my best shot, Miss!"
Cici	"I'll help out our, uh... friend here." "What did you say your name was, sir?"
Nickle	Who'll join me in my quest for glory
Will	"It's...Will." Jack runs into the middle distance
Drufle (GM)	So, battle time!
Cici	"Nice to meet you, Will, although I wish it were under.. better circumstances."
Drufle (GM)	Exciting!
Jack	I don't know what to do
Axel	"Ok, so we're immune to poison, thats good..."
Cici	"My name is Cici. This is Clara, my Sewaddle."
Drufle (GM)	We'll start with group A against the Scolipede, first.
Clara	\o/
Will	"(ah geez sweats)"
Axel	"So we should be fine"
PHOONE	clara speaks entirely in emjoi emoji emjoy
Jack	"(calm place calm place)"
Zoop	Zoop puts on his Mean Face!
Axel	"Bergmite has good Defense as well"
Drufle (GM)	What's everyone's speed?
Axel	5
Cici	4
Zoop	4 here
Jack	4
Cici	god we are some slow mother fuckers
Drufle (GM)	Ooh, some low values around here.
Axel	How am I the fastest?
Cici	like all our starters are tanky except golurks lmao
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately for Jack and Axel, that Scolipede there has a Speed of 9! You may be in some trouble.
Cici	jesus christ
Axel	I was not epecting THAT high
Cici	god it's 4 v 7
Axel	only 3 hp, right?
Cici	is this gonna work like double battles or
Drufle (GM)	And unfortunately, the Venipede's have 6! Yes, that's right!
Axel	Ok
Drufle (GM)	All of the Venipede only have 3 hp.
Axel	Anyone got supereffective?
Drufle (GM)	The Scolipede is the "starter" of sorts.
Cici	haha nope we r fuckd
Axel	craaaap
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, this was an unfortunate roll. I apologize in advance.
Axel	No, I'm immune to poison and resist steel
Cici	in fact both my attacks are not very effective
Axel	I'll live
Cici	and clara is weak to poison :I
Axel	Dunno about the rest of you
Cici	you might have to pull a little extra weight here hora
Drufle (GM)	The Scolipede launches a stinger at Brunt!
Axel	jeeeerk
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 2 + 3 + 5 ) = 10
Axel	aim for the mag, you fools!
Drufle (GM)	That's an 8, +6, is 14!
PHOONE	getcher popcorn streak we might be watching a while
Streak	Yeah..
Drufle (GM)	Now, Jack. What is Brunt's defense?
Streak	I dunno these battles are way shorter than Pathfinders.
PHOONE	tru
Drufle (GM)	Is Jack around?
PHOONE	i believe it is 6
Jack	6
PHOONE	not positive
Jack	he also has high stat there
Drufle (GM)	Then, shockingly, you're safe! The stinger whizzes past you, lodging in a nearby knoll.
Axel	Tank tank tank! Brunt tanks the hit like a mothertrucker
Drufle (GM)	Lucky you!
PHOONE	auto-parry
Jack	"Boy that was lucky!" Brunt is pleased
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede rushes towards Nickle and whips his tail! rolling 3d6 ( 5 + 2 + 6 ) = 13
Axel	I got 6 D
Drufle (GM)	That's a 17 to hi! hit!
Axel	Yeah...
Drufle (GM)	So, you uh.
Axel	it just bounces off
Drufle (GM)	Steel resists bug, yes?
Axel	yes steel resists so many things
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, then you take no damage.
Streak	God you know what
Drufle (GM)	The little guy gets a solid clank against Nickle, but doesn't seem to do anything!
Streak	I should've teamed with magnemite i have water sport
Nickle	Seriously? Bzzt?
Drufle (GM)	Ooh, strategy! Nickle, I believe you are up!
Nickle	the thoughts of Nickle
Streak	oh well!
Jack	that's for when we're an actual team. streak learnin' hexperience Nickle uses his revved-up magnets to launch a thundershock at the Scolipede
Nickle	rolling 3d6( 6 + 1 + 2 ) = 9
PHOONE	whats water sport do in this one
Nickle	8+6
PHOONE	just fire resist?
Nickle	14
PHOONE	they shouldnt have fire... hopefully
Drufle (GM)	Scolipede's spdef is 14! Good job!
Nickle	Hell yeah +1 damage for High Stat!
Streak	doesn't it do something with electric attacks?
Nickle	3 damage!
Streak	i can't actuallly remember
Jack	no
Drufle (GM)	Oof, that's a hard hit!
Jack	mud sport weakens them
Nickle	The revs
Streak	no that would be too logical actually
Nickle	they help
Drufle (GM)	It does do something to electric attacks! All normally effective electric attacks become super effective!
Jack	well here it might
Nickle	what?
Drufle (GM)	Water sport.
Nickle	Seriously?
Drufle (GM)	Also, you take out a huge chunk of poor scolipede's hp.
Jack	3 is a chunk
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Nickle	Menacing "Bzzzzzzzt"
Drufle (GM)	Hey Brunt! Go ahead! Nickle looms over the Scolipede, despite being significantly smaller
Brunt	?!
PHOONE	water sport is just not listed in this pdf or maybe ctrl-f aint workin with teh formatting
Drufle (GM)	It is.
PHOONE	dingo dango
Drufle (GM)	It's under aquatic training.
PHOONE	im using the uh
Drufle (GM)	Brunt, use an attack!
PHOONE	google doc version
Drufle (GM)	Phoone: ah, ok.
Jack	"ok Brunt, use Icy Wind on the Venipede!"
PHOONE	yeah it's missing water sport for no apparent reason
Axel	"Jack, my friend, for future reference we should focus on a single target"
Drufle (GM)	Roll your special attack!
Brunt	2d6?
Drufle (GM)	3d6.
Axel	"Fewer enemies means fewer attacks from them, which helps us greatly"
Drufle (GM)	You have an advantage!
Brunt	do I?
Axel	STAB is advantage
Drufle (GM)	With an advantage, you roll 3d6 and take the higher two.
Brunt	ok rolling 3d6 ( 4 + 4 + 5 ) = 13
Drufle (GM)	Yes, STAB is advantage instead of damage. So that's 9 plus your spatk! Which is?
Brunt	4
Axel	oh...oh dear thats 13 then
Drufle (GM)	13 total, which unfortunately does not beat Venipede's 14 spdef!
Brunt	so did it not hit?
Drufle (GM)	It did not, sadly.
Brunt	aw
PHOONE	wow
Axel	Ok, focus on Scolipede, he's the bigger threat
PHOONE	that was a good roll too
Drufle (GM)	Scolipede's turn!
PHOONE	jeez
Axel	Round 2 begins Mag is right next to Scolipede, trying to be intimidating Nickle, sorry
Drufle (GM)	He glows green, and rushes at Nickle!
Axel	I got used to calling him mag
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 1 + 1 + 5 ) = 7
phoone	i decided the caps was distracting
Axel	PFFFFT
Drufle (GM)	Aw nuts.
Axel	tanks it like a boss
Drufle (GM)	That's a piddly 12.
phoone	scolipede misses and just keeps going there he goes bye
Axel	Nah, Nickle eats it right up om nom nom not even a scratch
Drufle (GM)	Scolipede tried to hit, but the lingering electricity messed up his charge! Venipede's turn, and he decides to take a whack at Brunt! rolling 3d6 ( 1 + 1 + 4 ) = 6 Wow. These poor bugs.
Moppy	"get ready Brunt!"
Drufle (GM)	I'm just gonna say that misses.
Moppy	whoops
Axel	These guys need a remedial course in basic combat
Jack	forgot myself for a second
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede, his morale lowered by seeing his leader so horribly fail, cowers!
Axel	"Jack! Aim for the Scolipede"
Drufle (GM)	Nickle is up!
Cici	"They're angry, but don't seem particularly well organized. Perhaps something's just got them spooked?"
Jack	"Okay Sir!"
Nickle	Just another day at the office...
Jack	basics don't have abilities do they?
Drufle (GM)	Nope!
Jack	ok
Drufle (GM)	But Scolipede sure does!
Jack	so I can just bit the venipede *bite Nickle revs up a second time and launches another Thundershock at the Scolipede, point blank range
Streak	oh okay i thought we were doing two battles at once but we have to actually wait
Nickle	rolling 3d6( 3 + 3 + 2 ) = 8
Streak	that makes more sense
Nickle	5+6...darn 11
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I figured it would be easier to just finish this up quickly. Scolipede's spdef is a mighty 14! His anger causes the shock to dissipate across the armor. Nickle misfires
Drufle (GM)	Brunt!
Cici	"Perhaps I should capture one for further study..." Nickle glares at the Scolipede
Jack	"Icicle Spear on the big one!"
Cici	"Oh!"
Jack	rolling 3d6( 6 + 5 + 2 ) = 13
Drufle (GM)	Oh my.
Axel	nice! Cici goes back to that battle that she is totally doing now, simultaneously, and not later
Axel	physical attack this time, right?
Jack	11+6 yes
Axel	17, nice hit dead center
Drufle (GM)	That does -1 damage, right?
Axel	gonna leave a mark
Jack	yes and attacks twice
Drufle (GM)	Oh, twice?
Axel	so 2 damage total?
Drufle (GM)	Then you roll a second time.
Jack	not sure how that works
Cici	no that's 1 damage now
Jack	ok
Cici	now roll again
Will	This non-canonical waiting is only increasing Will's very real anxiety about this fight, despite not being a real wait.
Jack	rolling 3d6( 5 + 6 + 4 ) = 15
Will	God dang it.
Drufle (GM)	Lord.
Axel	still a good shot
Cici	Aw, hang in there, dude. :[
Jack	so what does that come to?
Drufle (GM)	Brunt sends a flurry of sharp icicles towards the Scolipede, spearing parts of its carapace.
Cici	Jesus. Deadeye the Bergmite over here.
Drufle (GM)	It falls to the ground, unconscious.
Jack	"..."
Cici	5 hp huh
Drufle (GM)	4!
Axel	"Excellent shot! Simply beautiful!"
Cici	ouch
Drufle (GM)	BTS: He was trying to use U-turn earlier.
Jack	"w-wow, Brunt..."
Streak	So I guess since these are the backup mons, they only have 3 HP
Drufle (GM)	To escape your wrath.
Streak	We should be totes fine, phoone
Axel	round 3 begins
Drufle (GM)	The other Venipede, enraged, joins the fight!
Cici	uh streak as a heads up Brunt is pleased as punch
Cici	my attacks will only do 1 damage against these things and they will hit me for 3.
Drufle (GM)	The lower one goes first!
Streak	Hmm..
Cici	so i'm gonna just spam status conditions and you can finish them
Nickle	Wasting my time here
Drufle (GM)	His carapace opens a bit, and he fires a pulse of erratic noise at Nickle!
Axel	Nickle is very annoyed with the tiny insects
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 5 + 2 + 4 ) = 11 That's a 13! What's your spdef?
Cici	he doesnt just like yell aaaaaaaa
Axel	5
Drufle (GM)	I figure Bug Buzz is more like a vibration. It misses!
Axel	Its sound
Cici	ohhhh bug buzz
Drufle (GM)	Nickle is not phased by the silly noise.
Axel	It doesn't miss, it just bounces off
Cici	yeah it'd be like, what rubbin their legs together cricket-style
Drufle (GM)	The other Venipede continues to swing at Brunt!
Axel	Nickle is Steel type, his main form of tanking is just taking it
Cici	how do these guys even use bug buzz???
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 4 + 2 + 2 ) = 8
Jack	you can ask that of a lot of bug mons
Axel	yeah no
Drufle (GM)	Nuts, a 13. Brunt, your spdef?
Jack	oh right
Drufle (GM)	Er, def? Sorry.
Will	Doduo can fly we really shouldn't worry about this kind of thing
Jack	6
Cici	phys def is still 6 on brunt right i guess so lol
Axel	thats 15 to hit? I forget
Drufle (GM)	Yep, the Venipede bounces harmlessly off of Brunt. What a tank! Nickle?
Cici	hora: ye
Axel	9+Stat, right? ok, good
Jack	stronk ayes
Drufle (GM)	Correct,
Will	then again you are a scientist or something so worrying about this is actually your job
Axel	Poor guys are up against our tanks
Cici	cici's storyline is just that she tries to figure out how pokemon work and slowly goes insane
Drufle (GM)	More electricity, I presume?
Axel	Doduo, I still haven't figured that bird out Oh yes
Cici	this is canon
Nickle	Almost more Electricity always
Will	just a whiteboard with a doduo on it and notes everywhere "? ?? ? ?"
Cici	see this is why i asked you guys to take the scolipede clara is not going to have a good time here
Drufle (GM)	Oh wait, I forgot.
Clara	:c Nickle launches another Thundershock. What else would he need?
Drufle (GM)	Brunt, you took out the Scolipede, right?
Jack	yes he did
Will	i wouldn't worry, zoop here is very excitable
Jack	the cutie
Drufle (GM)	You take 1 damage as a spurt of acid comes out of the Scolipede.
Will	and thats obviously the key to battles
Jack	>:( Nickle targets the lower Venipede
Drufle (GM)	Forgot about aftermath. Nickle, go!
Jack	Aftermath?!
Nickle	rolling 3d6( 3 + 3 + 4 ) = 10
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, Scolipede have Aftermath. For some reason.
Nickle	7+6 13? dang it
Cici	before math pre-math
Drufle (GM)	That's a miss! I think Nickle is tiring out!
Cici	man have you guys even hit those things yet
Nickle	Never!
Drufle (GM)	Nope! Brunt, how about you?
Cici	you beat the crap outta the big guy and now you cant hit the minions lol
Drufle (GM)	Another gut-wrenching takedown?
Jack	"Ice Fang on the top one!" rolling 3d6 ( 1 + 3 + 6 ) = 10
Nickle	Hold still you tiny insects "Zzzzt"
Drufle (GM)	9+ATK?
Jack	yes
Drufle (GM)	What is that?
Axel	9+ 5?
Jack	still 6
Axel	or 6?
Cici	dear god
Drufle (GM)	That hits!
Jack	write this down lad
Cici	bergie is a fucking beast
Drufle (GM)	You should have it in your handout, sorry. That's what those are for.
Axel	"Nickle! Stop fooling around and hit them already!"
Jack	I am working off the spreadsheet
Drufle (GM)	I provided the handouts as a resource to put your stats in. Nickle rolls his eye
Jack	"You're amazing today, Brunt!!"
Drufle (GM)	So that I could access them a bit more quickly. And you do 1 damage! As the top Venipede has def focus, so you do -1 damage with your first physical! How exciting!
Jack	Ok Druf
Axel	oh
Jack	we'll sort this out after the sesh I hate inefficiency
Cici	o
Axel	Round 4 begins
Drufle (GM)	Venipede lower decides to take a stab!
Axel	Yeah no
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 6 + 4 + 4 ) = 14
Axel	hmmm, respectable, finnaly
Drufle (GM)	That's a 15 against Nickle!
Axel	10+...6?
Drufle (GM)	your def, specifically.
Axel	oh, thats a hit 6
Drufle (GM)	You take 1 damage! The little guy, enraged, leaps up and slashes at Nickle. The other Venipede gets the idea and rushes at Brunt to do the same! rolling 3d6 ( 5 + 1 + 3 ) = 9 Or not! Nickle gets a small gash across his side
Nickle	*Oh its on now
Drufle (GM)	Brunt is just. Invincible.
Jack	He's actually made of Pykrete
Drufle (GM)	Nickle, you're up.
Axel	Brunt only took damage from acid Brunt sniffs at the acid damage Nickle launches an irritated thundershot at the top venipede
Brunt	only a flesh wound ice wound...?
Nickle	rolling 3d6( 3 + 5 + 1 ) = 9 8+6
Cici	he's got flesh under that ice
Nickle	14
Drufle (GM)	That's a hit!
Cici	thats the white puffy bit
Nickle	You dead son 2 damage
Drufle (GM)	The poor little Venipede, shaking, falls to the ground.
Jack	"I feel bad for them now..."
Drufle (GM)	Brunt?
Axel	"Yes yes! Another one!" "Ahaha!"
Jack	rolling 3d6( 2 + 1 + 3 ) = 6
Drufle (GM)	Oh.
Jack	ice fang
Axel	oh no
Drufle (GM)	Well, no.
Cici	"They don't seem terribly thrilled about attacking us, do they?"
Jack	oh well
Axel	"I think we've terrified them"
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede, now much more frightened, takes an uneasy slash at Nickle.
Axel	"Nickle knows how to give death stares"
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 4 + 4 + 6 ) = 14 That's 15!
Axel	dang it
Cici	"We should investigate this area a bit, before we head back. I'd like to find out what's bothering these pokemon."
Drufle (GM)	You take 2 damage!
Cici	"As soon as we've finished with the battles, of course."
Axel	two?
Drufle (GM)	Fury cutter!
Axel	What kind of attack was this?
Drufle (GM)	Every time he hits, it does +1 damage!
Axel	Oh hell no
Cici	oh my god fury cutter
Drufle (GM)	You best deal with him.
Cici	and it does 1 minimum eh? Nickle begins to wobble
Drufle (GM)	No, it did 0 the first time. A long time ago.
Cici	oh ohhh i remember that
Jack	so
Cici	so thats what that was lmao
Will	Wish we knew each others HP values
Jack	it doesn't have to be consecutive?
Cici	i wondered if that was a poison move or something
Nickle	Wait, he's only been hit twice so far by that venipede
Will	I gave Zoop a HP Bar but its not visible to everyone else
Drufle (GM)	It does not have to be consecutive! For some reason.
Jack	that's so broke
Drufle (GM)	Nickle, go!
Will	only the gm can set that in the token settings..
Nickle	It has to be from the same one, though Oh hell, lets just murder it now
Will	there 6 that..works??
Drufle (GM)	I can see the hp bars for everyone but Brunt. Nickle, roll away.
Cici	dots
Drufle (GM)	Ahem?
Will	you have to set them to visible in the second tab of each of the tokens settings, but that can wait i guess Nickle getting weak, he summons his strength to fire one more thundershock
Cici	yeah i can only see mine and whatever streak did dots
Nickle	rolling 3d6( 6 + 6 + 6 ) = 18
Drufle (GM)	OK
Jack	jackpot
Drufle (GM)	GEEZ
Cici	hooly shit
Nickle	Holy sweet mother of arceus
Drufle (GM)	ITS DEAD
Nickle	Crit? is that a crit?
Cici	no it just hit really well
Drufle (GM)	There are no crits.
Nickle	oh
Will	oh i can see leaffaces hp now
Drufle (GM)	But, really. That might as well take him out.
Streak	I'm fixing them.
Jack	that bug got roasted
Cici	turn off yer damn dots streak
Jack	now we can finally relax
Cici	zoop Nickle wobbles back to Axel and rests on his shoulder
Nickle	4 rounds, not bad
Cici	i thought i bork my token when i saw those haha so i kept screwing with it trying to figure out what i did it was streak!! all along what a prankster.
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede remaining seem rather... concerned.
Will	hoho
Jack	"That was so cool, Brunt! you're the best"
Cici	by which you mean that one in the back, drufle because we fought these ones simulttanouesly
Will	wait so we did wait Jack hug icicle
Cici	and not afterwards right
Drufle (GM)	Of course!
Will	"Ah!! Bugs!!"
Drufle (GM)	Unless you'd like to actually fight them. When all of their attacks do 3 damage to Sewaddle.
Cici	oh you mean
Nickle	We've got some for Cici to capture up here
Cici	we're not going to fight...?
Nickle	shoo these away
Drufle (GM)	Do you want to?
Nickle	unless you want to fight
Drufle (GM)	I can reduce it to two.
Jack	I could fill infor you
Cici	yeah lets fuck em up
Jack	or w/e
Drufle (GM)	Alright!
Cici	why dont you say because this is gonna go slower
Nickle	after round four we can join in
Cici	all remaining venipede flee, when they finish their battle so after four rounds yeah
Nickle	since thats how long it took us to beat outs
Drufle (GM)	Sounds good! Now, you all are horribly slow. So these guys go first!
Zoop	Zoop, as you may recall, has his Mean Face on.
Nickle	they all only have 3 hp
Zoop	It's GO time!!
Cici	"Here they come, Will. Gosh, Clara, we haven't had a battle like this in ages, have we?"
Clara	Dx
Drufle (GM)	The top Venipede goes first, and vibrates its carapace towards Clara!
Cici	"Oh, right. The fighting."
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6+4( 3 + 3 + 5 )+4 = 15 That's a 12!
Cici	i have 6 spdef tink
Drufle (GM)	The cacophonic sounds buzz by Clara.
Nickle	round 1 has begun
Clara	>:I
Drufle (GM)	The second Venipede rushes at Zoopa and swings his tail! Clara is unimpressed.
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6+5( 4 + 6 + 5 )+5 = 20 That's 16!
Cici	ouchies
Will	My Def is 5 so thats...14
Drufle (GM)	Zoopa takes 1 damage!
Axel	fury cutter! Alert!
Will	"Ah! Zoop!"
Drufle (GM)	Which of you is next?
Cici	"I don't think I can do much to hurt them directly. We'll need to work together."
Will	My Speed is 4
Cici	mine as well
Drufle (GM)	Roll 1d6.
Will	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Axel	have the sewaddle go first
Cici	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Zoopa goes first!
Axel	the sewaddle has the status effects or do that
Cici	"Why don't we try and finish off that one on the left first?" "Go ahead, go in for an attack." tutorial mode engaged it comes naturally to her, the tutorialing
Will	"Zoop, what she said! Use your tail slap, like we practiced!"
Zoop	"Upa!"
Cici	god thats adorable
Zoop	This is DOuble Slap btw
Cici	doof
Drufle (GM)	Mhm.
Zoop	Zoop runs up to the bug and spins around a lot, trying to attack with his tail. let seee.. attk is 6 rolling 2d6 +6 ( 3 + 5 )+6 = 14
Axel	good hit
Cici	noice
Drufle (GM)	That misses!
Axel	oh wait
Cici	oof
Zoop	then the second attack rolling 2d6 +6 ( 1 + 3 )+6 = 10
Drufle (GM)	6 DEF is a scary thing.
Axel	Def, not special def
Zoop	crud
Cici	oh god
Drufle (GM)	Ah, nuts. Poor Zoopa slaps helplessly against the Venipede.
Axel	Survive until round 5
Drufle (GM)	Also! Guess what I found out!
Cici	i'm pretty tanky, i might be okay
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6d2+4( 5 + 5 + 4 )+4 = 9
Cici	what the fuck is that a dragoon jump
Drufle (GM)	That's not what I want.
Cici	stop jumping on things
Zoop	Bronn falls from the sky and crushes the bugs then just as quickly
Cici	bronn jumped into an entirely different genre
Zoop	jumps away
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6k2( 3 + 3 + 6 ) = 9 There!
Axel	rolling 3d6d1?3 = 3 rolling 3d6d1 ( 4 + 1 + 6 ) = 10 oooh, thats good
Drufle (GM)	If you roll 3d6k2, that rolls 3d6 and keeps the higest two!
Will	"Yikes, that attack didn't even phase it!"
Cici	rolling 3d6k2+5( 3 + 4 + 1 )+5 = 12 wow that's pretty handy
Drufle (GM)	Roll20 is neat. Keep that in mind!
Will	"We better try something else, Zoop."
Drufle (GM)	Clara, you're up!
Cici	meanwhile in ass city
Axel	d is minus, k is plus?
Drufle (GM)	d drops the lowest, k keeps the highest
Cici	"Alright, Clara, let's try softening them up first." "Use Stun Spore!"
Drufle (GM)	So 3d6k2 and 3d6d1 are the same roll. Stun spore hits automatically, right?
Cici	it's a physical attack roll, so "on hit" so no
Drufle (GM)	Oh ok.
Cici	sadly lol
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead! rolling 3d6k2+5 ( 6 + 5 + 1 )+5 = 16 that should be correct it's a physical attack
Drufle (GM)	That hits!
Axel	its a hit
Drufle (GM)	Whichever one.
Axel	bootiful
Cici	top venipede
Axel	stunning round 2 begins
Cici	"Excellent work! That one shouldn't give us much more trouble."
Axel	I think this is round 2
Drufle (GM)	The spores sink into the shell, and the Venipede spasms a bit.
Clara	:D
Drufle (GM)	Bottom Venipede goes first. Because the top one is kinda slow now! rolling 3d6k2+5 ( 4 + 1 + 2 )+5 = 11 That doesn't hit Zoop! Good thing, too.
Cici	that doesn't hit anyone
Drufle (GM)	Alright, next Venipede!
Cici	at least i hope not
Axel	The impossible range is under 12 wait, no The lowest stat we can have is 4
Cici	im trying to get a feel for this but it looks like 16+ is the Solid Hit Zone
Axel	so if its under 13, it can't hit
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6k2+5( 2 + 1 + 3 )+5 = 10 Nuts.
Axel	^ yeah yeah
Drufle (GM)	Well, the Venipede do nothing. Zoop?
Cici	wait they're still faster than us
Axel	top D score is 15, so 16 will hit until we get more stats
Cici	while paralyzed??
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Will	"Change of plans, pal, use your Water Gun!"
Cici	fucking
Drufle (GM)	The top Venipede still has a 5 speed.
Cici	is it just -1
Drufle (GM)	-3.
Cici	...
Zoop	rolling 3d6k2 + 5( 4 + 1 + 2 )+5 = 11
Cici	they have 8 speed
Drufle (GM)	He has speed focus, so it's effectively 8!
Cici	o mygod
Drufle (GM)	Zoop: it misses!
Axel	pffft, welp
Drufle (GM)	Sorry.
Cici	the one time speed focus is useful im cry
Axel	so round 3 has begun
Drufle (GM)	Clara, you're up?
Cici	"Keep it up, Will, you can do it!"
Drufle (GM)	Not yet! Clara goes first. Then round 3!
Cici	"Clara, keep up the stun spores!" rolling 3d6k2+5 ( 4 + 3 + 3 )+5 = 12
Axel	ok
Cici	oof.
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, no.
Cici	that's a miss
Drufle (GM)	Round 3!
Clara	>:[
Drufle (GM)	Lower Venipede, let's go!
Will	What does paralysis do in this game?
Drufle (GM)	You have a 50% to do anything, and -3 speed. rolling 3d6k2+5 ( 2 + 4 + 2 )+5 = 11 Come on!
Will	That's pretty handy...
Drufle (GM)	Alright, he attacks on highs. rolling 1d6 ( 6 ) = 6 Yay!
Cici	:[
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6k2+5( 6 + 2 + 3 )+5 = 14 Against Clara. Physical!
Will	the computer is totally cheating
Cici	nope
Drufle (GM)	No?
Cici	double 6 defense stats
Drufle (GM)	Dang.
Cici	:V
Axel	TANK!!!
Cici	we are all so tanky lmao
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede's paralysis causes him to miss the dart!
Axel	what round we on?
Drufle (GM)	Zoops, you're up. 3!
Cici	this is round 3
Drufle (GM)	And no Venipede has been hit yet.
Cici	paralysis is a hit just no damage
Drufle (GM)	:P
Will	"Try again!"
Drufle (GM)	Fair. Shoot that water!
Axel	after round 4 Berg can join
Cici	do status conditions affect capture
Drufle (GM)	Or something!
Cici	they totally should
Drufle (GM)	Cici: nope.
Axel	Nickle is too worn down
Will	attacking the bottom one here
Zoop	rolling 3d6k2+5( 6 + 5 + 5 )+5 = 16
Cici	if he's asleep and we beat the crap outta him how does he get up and run afater
Drufle (GM)	Yikes!
Cici	ooh nice hit
Drufle (GM)	2 damage!
Will	"Ah..!! You did it!"
Cici	"Nice work, you two!"
Zoop	"Upwah!"
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede takes the burst of water to the face, and slinks down a bit. Clara?
Cici	"Finish it off with a Razor Leaf, Clara!" rolling 3d6k2+5 ( 3 + 2 + 5 )+5 = 13 kamiss
Drufle (GM)	So, uh. Yeah, also. Disadvantage. and -1 damage.
Cici	huh?
Drufle (GM)	Grass is .25 against bug/poison!
Axel	double resist
Drufle (GM)	You do -1 damage and have a disadvantage.
Zoop	yeesh thems the breaks
Axel	gives a disadvantage and a -1
Cici	i knew the -1 damage but we're doing disadvantage for quarter damage now?
Axel	yes
Jack	the venipede eats the leaf and heals itself
Cici	:I
Drufle (GM)	Well quarter should have something.
Cici	nobody told me!!
Axel	makes ground scary for me
Cici	okay ill reroll
Drufle (GM)	Well, you missed anyway
Cici	thatd just be 2d6 then yeah
Drufle (GM)	It doesn't matter that much. Go ahead, though. If you like.
Axel	3d6, then choose the lowest two dice
Cici	rolling 2d6+5( 6 + 2 )+5 = 13 exact same fucking number ims cream
Drufle (GM)	:P Venipede!
Cici	lmao
Drufle (GM)	Round 4! Clara flails around and makes weird noises in irritation
Axel	survive, and Bront can join
Cici	"Clara, please." "Be a big girl, Clara."
Drufle (GM)	The lower one, still shaking from that water, glows green!
Will	"Ehe..."
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6k2+5( 2 + 3 + 6 )+5 = 14
Will	"Uh.."
Drufle (GM)	Against Wooper's physical?
Axel	why a k, anyways?
Will	thats 5 + 9
Drufle (GM)	keep I hit!
Axel	ahhhh
Cici	ouchie
Axel	d is discard then, I get it now
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede, glowing, rams into Zoop and suddenly disappears, only to be replaced with another Venipede!
Will	"W-what??"
Drufle (GM)	Zoops takes 2 damage.
Cici	"U-turn! It looks like they do have some degree of a strategy here."
Axel	wait, that Veni was the one that hadn't been hit yet, right?
Will	"Did that bug just tele-ah, Zoop, are you okay?"
Cici	no the one that u-turend out was the hurt one
Axel	ohhhh
Drufle (GM)	Other Venipede! rolling 1d6 ( 6 ) = 6
Cici	god
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6k2+5( 4 + 5 + 1 )+5 = 14
Axel	computer, why
Zoop	Zoop shakes off the hit. "U-pa!"
Drufle (GM)	Does that hit Clara's spdef?
Cici	nope
Drufle (GM)	Sigh. Zoop, you're up.
Axel	you need a 15 for everything to hit Clara
Cici	does spdef focus give me a +1 to dodge or 1 less damage too
Drufle (GM)	1 less damage.
Cici	noice
Axel	when you're hit
Drufle (GM)	For the first special attack that hits that does damage.
Cici	i know
Axel	which you haven't been
Will	"Go for it again, the one that just appeared!"
Zoop	rolling 3d6k2+5( 2 + 2 + 3 )+5 = 10
Axel	you guys are just leaving the poor paralyzed guy to just sit there
Will	It's strategically sound!!
Cici	yes
Drufle (GM)	Whelp. Clara?
Cici	he's sorta useless apparently
Will	"Man, they're jumpy!"
Cici	"Alright, Clara, try and give this one a Sleep Powder!" rolling 3d6k2+5 ( 5 + 5 + 3 )+5 = 15
Drufle (GM)	The water shoots harmlessly under the Venipede. Wow. Against phys?
Cici	ye
Axel	its a hit either way
Drufle (GM)	Well I mean that hits regardless.
Cici	same roll as stun spore
Drufle (GM)	Which one?
Cici	the one who aint statuseseded newpede that face is adorable
Axel	Our team is designed to disable our opponents completely I like this
Will	Explain sleep to me! I don't get much of it.
Cici	i think it's like the card game they have a 50% chance to wake up every turn
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede, realizing the power of their opponents, and noticing their allies beaten, turn and run!
Axel	oh that is harsh
Cici	or we houseruled it?? i forget
Drufle (GM)	its 1d6 increased by 1 each turn
Cici	ah
Will	The sleeping bug ran its the Entei effect
Jack	Sleep-running
Axel	ok, who wants to catch something?
Cici	suddenly, a wild rave appears
Will	"Phew..."
Cici	"Now, then."
Axel	I have no reason to catch these guys
Will	"Looks like we scared them off..."
Jack	Cici could get the sleepy bug
Drufle (GM)	You can try to catch one of them.
Cici	"I would like an opportunity to research one of these..."
Drufle (GM)	Them's the rules.
Axel	Scolipede likely has too high a rate
Cici	one per person or one per party?
Will	Will kneels down next to Zoop, checking his wounds. "Ah geez..."
Zoop	"Uuu-pah!"
Drufle (GM)	Let me see, quick.
Cici	one per party seems
Axel	"Nickle! Nickle! Are you ok!?"
Cici	sooperlame
Drufle (GM)	All of you have a chance, if you wish.
Zoop	Zoop shakes out of Will's grasp, he's totally fine and doesn't need healing.
Drufle (GM)	But each of you may pick only one. Jack rifles through his BAG-brand Bag for a potion
Nickle	"Zzzzt" Just a scratch
Cici	so the 2 venipede and scolipede who were knocked out are left?
Will	"Don't act Mr. Tough!"
Drufle (GM)	Well, you can pick any of them.
Will	is there bag company called BAG
Drufle (GM)	They haven't quite gotten away yet.
Jack	if I say so
Cici	okay, i'll try and snag this paralyzed one
Nickle	"Good good! I'm glad you're ok!" Woops We'll fix that in post Cici quickly steps forward and chucks a pokeball at the unfortunate paralyzed Venipede, who has terrible aim.
Will	Will is preoccupied.
Drufle (GM)	Now, do you know how catching works?
Axel	Ok, I said what Nickle "said"
Cici	that's 2d6 plus my aptitude plus... 30 for a pokeball?
Drufle (GM)	20.
Cici	20 ok rolling 2d6+26 ( 2 + 6 )+26 = 34
Drufle (GM)	Wow.
Axel	noice
Drufle (GM)	You literally cannot lose. The DC is a 26.
Cici	lol 2gud
Drufle (GM)	Congratulations!
Cici	git gud scrubs 420 mlg Axel drops Nickle, noticing Cici's capture
Jack	you did very well actually
Cici	"Looks like we have a new traveling companion."
Axel	"Oh! Oh! You got one!"
Drufle (GM)	Now, the real question.
Jack	Clara didn't get hurt or anything
Drufle (GM)	Anyone want to try the Scolipede?
Will	"Oh, cool..." Cici smiles. It's only slightly menacing, because of how she just beat the crap out of it and all. Nickle falls to the ground, startled, but not surprised
Jack	I will on one condition
Drufle (GM)	It's literally impossible with a pokeball, but I'd like to see you try.
Jack	can I eventually ride it like a horse
Drufle (GM)	Well obviously, yes.
Cici	"They seem to be trying to flee, so you should try and make your captures quickly, if you wish."
Drufle (GM)	But seriously, don't try and catch the Scolipede.
Will	lets discuss this at length
Drufle (GM)	You'll waste a pokeball.
Jack	yeah no
Nickle	"I do not share your interest in insects, I'm afraid" DANG IT!!
Jack	I will have an avalugg one day
Cici	if no one's making a move
Jack	I can ride that like a horsie
Will	its cool how nickle has a voice modulator
Drufle (GM)	The swarm of bugs skitter away, running quickly into the bushes.
Axel	"I am more of a mechanics guy, really"
Cici	"Well then, are all your pokemon okay?" "Should we head back to the pokemon center in the city?"
Jack	"I'm fine miss, thank you."
Axel	"Hmmm? Oh right, you guys need to heal"
Will	"U-uhm."
Jack	"Nickle is hurting though"
Cici	"Looks like poor Nickle took quite a beating there."
Axel	"That Woops seems beat" "Hm? Nickle?" "Oh! NICKEL!"
Cici	"How did you guys fare against that Scolipede? It looked quite powerful."
Will	"O-oh. Yeah. Zoop took a little bit of damage." Axel rushes over and picks up Nickle
Drufle (GM)	By the way, I put Venipede in Cici's folder.
Cici	"Jack, any idea how close we are to the lab?" sick
Drufle (GM)	It officially is yours!
Zoop	Zoop turns his back. He's fine, MOM.
Jack	"It actually wasn't so bad. It barely hurt Brunt" "a sneaky acid attack melted him a bit though"
Drufle (GM)	Stats are 4/5/6/4/5/6.
Cici	he is paralyzed still awk i should probaly get that treated
Axel	name him/her!
Will	oh geez are we naming in real time
Axel	Name him Socrates!
Jack	"And I'm pretty sure the lab is just over that rise"
Will	this takes me hours in real pokemon
Drufle (GM)	The Venipede quickly crawls up to Cici, hiding behind her legs, realizing that it now belongs to her.
Axel	NAAAME
Cici	"Alright, let's see how our new friend is doing."
Axel	probably down to 1 hp Cici lifts up the little paralyzed bug like a baby
Drufle (GM)	Well, he wasn't hit. So no.
Cici	"Hi there. Sorry about the spores... that must feel uncomfortable."
Axel	"I'm sorry for dropping you Nickle!"
Drufle (GM)	Oh, also, I should mention. That was quite a fight! You should all mark down 2 exp for that. Nickle rolls his eye and wanders over to meet the new recruit
Cici	the google sheet filled in all his stats automagically incredib
Drufle (GM)	It's pretty great.
Jack	dododooo
Drufle (GM)	You can pick his stat focus, of course.
Will	I've added my exp on my handout~~~
Nickle	EXP added
Drufle (GM)	So! Nickle examines the Venipede
Cici	"I think I'll call you..."
Drufle (GM)	We have a new member, and he seems a bit frazzled!
Cici	"Victor. You look like a Victor to me." "Do you like that?"
Will	Will stands here awkwardly. Victor squirms a little bit and looks confused mostly
Jack	"Hello"
Zoop	Zoop says hello to Victor.
Drufle (GM)	Now, what was up with all that running around? Victor chirps a little bit, and looks sort of defeated and dejected
Will	"H-hi."
Drufle (GM)	Off in the distance, you see a few other groups of Pokemon running in the same direction as the ones you just fought.
Nickle	Wild bug, unused to human interaction. Time will tell
Zoop	Zoop tells Victor a joke. "Upa!"
Nickle	Did we scare more off?
Drufle (GM)	No, these are nowhere near you. Brunt is socially awkward
Nickle	ok
Cici	"The paralysis seems to be making him pretty uncomfortable, combined with the fact that we just seem to have seperated him from his family." "Perhaps I should send him back to the pokeball for a while..."
Nickle	"To the center, then, we are not far"
Drufle (GM)	Far away, you think you hear some sort of roar.
Nickle	RAGAH!! Victor continues to sort of hang limply and look sad
Drufle (GM)	But clearly that was just in your head.
Axel	"Then we must head to the center"
Clara	:U
Drufle (GM)	To the Center!
Axel	"I do not want to deal with whatever made that noise"
Moppy	"Yeah we need to get outta here!"
Cici	"Alright, Victor, we gotta get going, so hang on for a bit, okay?"
Jack	said Jack Cici returns Victor to his pokeball.
Will	"Hey, uhm..."
Drufle (GM)	Are you heading back to Marina? Or ahead to the Lab?
Will	"Uh...are you guys going to the next town...?" Axel attempts to return Nickle to his Pokeball. Nickle refused
Nickle	I don't trust you by yourself
Jack	which is less dangerous
Cici	"We're headed back to the research lab, I think. We should be pretty close."
Axel	"Er, ah, yes, we are heading that way"
Cici	"Where are you going, Will? Maybe we can escort each other for a while."
Axel	"But it may be dangerous"
Cici	"Safety in numbers, and whatnot. I don't think we fared too badly working together just then."
Will	"Yeah! Um, I'm going there too..."
Jack	"Great! let's keep going"
Axel	"I cannot participate in anymore battles until I heal Nickle"
Cici	"Oh! Are you going to see the professor?" drufle you uh left a venipede on the far right hes just chillin
Axel	"Ah yes! The package!" "...who has it again?"
Will	"No, I'm meant to go challenge the gyms..."
Drufle (GM)	No I didn't.
Will	"I'm a...pokémon trainer?"
Drufle (GM)	Shhh.
Axel	This is not the venipede you are looking for Cici is slightly bemused
Cici	"Is that a statement or a question?"
Axel	"Oh! A trainer! Trainer? Do you no know?"
Will	"Well, I'm pretty new to this..."
Jack	"You can't be _not sure_, mister!"
Zoop	"Upa!"
Cici	"Your wooper is a natural fighter."
Axel	"Ah yes! New blood! I remember my early years" Cici scratches Zoop's head. Slimy.
Will	"Oh yeah, he's real excited about it." Nickle zaps Axel before he can flashback. Now is not the time
Cici	"I'm sure it'll work out, whatever you decide to do. Just follow your heart, like they say in the animes."
Will	"I am too, it's just a little scary..." "I mean, bug swarms, and all."
Cici	"This is frontier country! It's not quite as hospitable to trainers as some of the more developed regions..."
Will	Will knows all the animes, probably.
Cici	"But that makes it all the more exciting to study!"
Will	"You...study pokemon?"
Axel	"Ah yes! And more interesting to develope"
Cici	"Think of all the strange new pokemon to be found in the deepest forests and caves..." "Ah! I haven't introduced myself properly..." "I'm one of the Aidans. I'm researching the species in this area." "My fine travel companions here work with the professor, as well."
Will	"Oh, I've heard of the professor..."
Cici	so many ellipses
Will	"Can't recall his name..."
Cici	ellipsises?
Jack	"My name's Jack, I'm on an internship with the Professor!"
Will	"Was it...Sycamore...? No, that's not right..."
Jack	Imma cute little boy
Will	"Some kind of tree..."
Jack	adore me
Nickle	Silently protests Will's inability to get the name right
Jack	"Hawthorn!"
Will	"That was it!" Cici turns to Axel
Will	"Uhm, my name is Will, and this is Zoop, my best friend."
Zoop	"Upa." Zoop bows.
Cici	with a smirk "Are you going to introduce yourself, or are you off daydreaming again?"
Axel	"Huh? Oh! Oh oh oh Sorry!" Cici stifles a giggle
Axel	"I am Doctor Ferrum, but you may call me Axel" "My stern friend here is Nickle" "We've been partners longer than this group has been together"
Will	Will waves to Nickle. "Hi there."
Nickle	"Bzzt"
Cici	"The boys and I here were just running a few errands for the Professor. The lab's only recently started operations, you see." "It's right on the way to the nearest gym. You're welcome to tag along, if you'd like."
Will	"Oh yeah, I read about that."
Axel	Axel, good at noticing things, bad at focusing on them
Will	"I'd love to."
Cici	i love how nickle is basically just a robotic Bert
Drufle (GM)	So, have you been walking as you talk? I assume you have.
Axel	Of course
Cici	i want a small cranky robot to hang out with me
Drufle (GM)	Look!
Picture
Zoop	Zoop jumps into Will's hood and gets comfy.
Axel	Nickle is the only thing keeping Axel from wandering off
Drufle (GM)	Whoops, forgot the pogs.
Axel	where are we
Will	we arent here yet
Axel	we are smaller than everyone else
Will	we're late
Axel	I don't know how to feel about this
Cici	THEY ARE BIG
Jack	we've been shrunk
Drufle (GM)	Whoops, I sized this poorly.
Cici	hehehe we can pretend
Axel	were is Nickle
Jack	I'm too short to climb up these stools
Cici	the pokemon are in their pokeballs
Drufle (GM)	Pokemon inside in the lab!
Cici	i assume
Drufle (GM)	Don't want to interfere with the machines.
Axel	I, being a tall adult climb up the stool easily
Jack	he got drawn into the magnetron and was ripped apart
Axel	Nickle will find a way in
Cici	D: rip in peace
Will	Wooper is still in my hood but he's hiding. Actually he's sleeping sure
Axel	Nickle sees himself as a scientist here He wants IN
Jack	you now own a grumpy pile of iron filings
Cici	i was about to ask drufle to put on some music ive noticed that the current song is 'sciency hum' highly technical terms
Will	thats so science
Nickle	You can't lock me out forever
Aidan	"Ah, hello!" "Wonderful to see you back safely!"
Axel	"Yes! Everything went well" Golurk!?
Will	Will is looking all around.
Cici	?!
Will	So many things!!
Axel	GOLURK!!!
Cici	warning: challenger approaching
Aidan	Oh, this is unexpected.
Golurk	eat my ass ill be that party member that pops up in disc 2
Will	this is an amazing remix honestly
Golurk	this if fine everything is fine
Will	:P
Drufle (GM)	Oh.
Jack	BASH THE DOOR DOWN
Axel	uh
Drufle (GM)	Looks like he isn't transparent?
Axel	background?
Drufle (GM)	Whoops.
Axel	how did that happen?
Cici	whiter than sour cream
Drufle (GM)	I thought we fixed that. Whatever, later.
Romain	a reality distortion field
Jack	its his halo
Cici	whats the aide naimed
Aidan	"I see you brought some friends with you!"
Cici	named aidenaimed
Jack	Aidan
Cici	i love that "Glad to be back, Aidan."
Axel	"A quick trip, no problem." "Nickle is a bit upset that you didn't let him inside"
Cici	"First things first... did you guys set up the restoration machine?"
Aidan	"Well, you know the rules.
Jack	"we DID run into a herd of venipede on the way back"
Romain	intense staring
Aidan	"
Axel	"He'll forgive you...someday"
Aidan	"Venipede? Really?"
Jack	"And a Scolipede, too!"
Cici	"Yeah, I've got one here with me."
Jack	"We kicked their butts!"
Aidan	"Ah, Cici, we did! Provided you picked up that package, of course."
Cici	"We can examine him once he's all healed up." "Oh, uh, of course!" Cici looks nervously at Jack and Axel
Cici	mouthing "Which one of you has it?"
Will	Will notes the intense stare. sweats Nickle blankly stares through the window, holding the package
Cici	im laughings o fucking hard
Aidan	"You, ah, did bring the package, yes?"
Cici	i love this small robot
Aidan	xD
Will	omg
Nickle	What now?
Jack	ultimatum Cici slowly stares out the window
Cici	intense sweatdrop Aidan looks out the window. Axel notices Nickle
Axel	"Uh...well"
Cici	"...Yeah, we got it."
Aidan	"Really? You gave the sensitive electronic equipment to the Pokemon made of magnets?"
Axel	"I didn't, I don't think...?" "Did I?"
Will	hey he's a professional he knows proper handling
Cici	"Axel, we talked about this."
Axel	he does Aidan walks to the door and opens it.
Axel	"I guess he didn't trust me with it"
Jack	the package is insulated
Romain	thats not how it works
Aidan	"Nickle, you may come inside, but stay here at the door." Nickle holds the package up high, glaring at Aiden Nickle enters Aidan takes the package.
Cici	star trek 4 wrath of nickle Jack hears a whispering that comes from nowhere Nickle doesn't hand the package over, instead waiting for the professor Cici sighs
Aidan	"Nickle, we really need that package."
Axel	"Nickle, behave"
Aidan	"Come now, please."
Axel	"He's sorry for locking you out" "He won't do it again"
Cici	isn't nickle the one who needs healing most urgently that actually makes this even funnier honestly
Aidan	pfff
Nickle	I will not betray my pride
Cici	this fucking robto i swear
Zoop	zzz
Aidan	"Look, if you're waiting for the professor, he isn't here!"
Cici	golurk: THE STORY THUS FAR
Axel	"Aiden, I think you'll have to apologize, or wait for the professor"
Cici	~recap~
Romain	nice
Aidan	"He went out on field duty a few hours ago."
Cici	we were all in new jersey getting a package
Axel	"Nickle is very serious with his payback"
Romain	was it a severed head
Cici	and then we walked across a field and fought a scolipede and 5 venipede
Romain	jesus
Cici	i dunno we haven't opened it yet it's probably the GS ball now we are whereever this is
Drufle (GM)	This is your lab!
Jack	Brunt and Nickle wrecked the horsipede
Cici	also streak is just following us around because he happened to be around when we got jumped by the angry bugs
Drufle (GM)	In a nice field close to the mountains.
Cici	oh right we live here Nickle looks at the poor Aiden for a few more seconds before handing the package over, gently.
Jack	phoone's sewaddle also didn't die somehow
Cici	tanky af
Jack	lucky bug
Will	didn't even get hit
Nickle	Know your superiors, aid Aidan takes the package and walks over to the recovery device.
Cici	is romain literally just gonna be silver from gsc staring in window once we leave he steals a totodile
Romain	canon
Cici	punches a baby, probably Nickle returns to Axel
Cici	is lettuce Aidan opens it, muttering something about magnets and pulls out a small thingamabob.
Will	is he still staring
Romain	yes
Cici	is he actually inside or
Romain	no
Will	okay good
Axel	"Nickle is very good at controlling his magnetism"
Will	sweat
Jack	he's phased into the wall
Axel	"He wont damage anything he doesn't want to"
Cici	the only thing weve mentioned of your character thus far is that you were standing on the street in new jersey Aidan proceeds to place the whozawhatsit in the machine which then whirrs to life.
Cici	just staring at us nobody noticed tho
Romain	good
Aidan	"There! The recovery device is up and running!"
Axel	"Oh! Great! Good! What?"
Cici	"Great! Nickle, why don't you give it a spin first?"
Axel	"Where did I put my notebook?"
Will	Will looks away from the staring man and looks back at the aide. Nickle wanders over to the machine
Nickle	Heals please
Aidan	"You, ah, have to be in your Pokeball for the machine to work."
Cici	none of us have noticed him btw except will
Nickle	...
Aidan	"Very complicated science, you see."
Axel	"Come on, Nickle, into the ball" Axel returns Nickle to his ball
Will	(hey drufle my token also has the white bits on it) (fyi)
Aidan	"Nanoelectronic field theory and quantum compression and stuff."
Cici	"It's easier to heal you when you're... atomized or whatever..." "I'm a biologist I don't understand it."
Drufle (GM)	Streak: Yeah, I'm not sure why that happened.
Will	(do you need the updated ones because i can relink those later for you)
Drufle (GM)	I might, yes.
Will	how did you put us into this map did you drag from your folder or something
Cici	OKAY let's assume everyone has healed now
Will	you can set it up so you can just drag our sheets onto here instead
Cici	horay Nickle escapes his Pokeball after being healed
Cici	it's been like 10 minutes and no one has noticed staring kid still
Drufle (GM)	I fixed it.
Nickle	Back to work
Cici	will is too afraid of him to say anything
Will	im not local maybe he's normal here
Nickle	The kid is in the window, who'd be looking over there
Will	hes That Staring Guy
Jack	it's just his way
Cici	"So, how about I pull Victor out and we see if we can find out what happened out there?" Nickle notices the staring kid
Aidan	"Yes, that may be for the best." "I'd like to know myself, for one."
Romain	no you dont Nickle begins a staring contest
Drufle (GM)	Roll Attention if you want to see him!
Nickle	Jokes on you, I can't blink rolling 2d6 + 5 ( 6 + 1 )+5 = 12
Axel	Woops, thats for Axel
Drufle (GM)	That's a no. Cici is thoroughly engrossed in messing around with her new bug friend
Drufle (GM)	I'm saying DC 14.
Axel	Welp, Axel continues working
Cici	"Alright, come on out, Victor."
Victor	"Scree?"
Will	i already noticed without rolling but im not going to say anything anyway so we can ignore that
Drufle (GM)	Mmk.
Will	ill remember to roll in future though
Axel	Nickle noticed, but he can't say anything so yeah Victor runs around a bit on the floor, stretching his legs. He looks a bit more chipper now that the spores are gone.
Aidan	"My, what a good-looking Venipede! Quite strong, I must say."
Axel	"Ack! Oh, thats your Venipede" "Does he have a name?"
Victor	"Cree!"
Jack	im sorry if im not engaging asmuch Victor looks quite proud of himself after Aidan's compliment.
Jack	i ham tired Aidan squats down to rub Victor's head.
Will	the hams...are tired
Aidan	"You said they attacked you?"
Cici	"My first idea was Victor. How do you like that, Victor?"
Will	Ham Tires? ew
Axel	"Ah yes, we were attacked!" Victor mews a bit and shuffles around. He looks a little embarassed by all the attention.
Axel	"Giant Scolipede was leading them, but after he fell the others lost their interest"
Aidan	"Well that doesn't make any sense. The Pokemon around here usually avoid humans at all costs."
Axel	"Intriguing, really"
Aidan	"A Scolipede, this far from the woods? Now that sounds unlikely."
Will	Will is observing a nearby computer.
Axel	"When have I ever seen something that wasn't there?"
Cici	"Something definitely seemed to have startled them. They were angry, and very afraid of SOMETHING that was happening."
Drufle (GM)	Will: There are a lot of equations and diagrams here. You don't really understand it!
Axel	get Axel to help, he'll know, I think
Aidan	"Afraid, you say? Of what?"
Cici	"Not long into the fight, they all bolted suddenly. I assume it was because they were clearly outmatched, but..."
Will	I'm mostly wondering if that PC can run DOOM.
Aidan	"Did you see or hear anything? Perhaps a flock of Staravia?"
Cici	"I'm not sure. They seemed panicked and their attacks were disorganized."
Jack	"I was sure I heard a roar"
Axel	The PC is running Silph Melon 3 Its not compatible with Doom
Aidan	"A roar? Well, that could have been just about anything."
Cici	"Come to think of it I didn't see any other normal wild pokemon activity in the area... Just some rapid movements in the distance."
Aidan	"My, that is strange."
Cici	"Maybe all the pokemon in the whole route were in the same panicked mentality the Venipede were."
Axel	"Shall we go back? I'm certain we can find something"
Aidan	"We'll have to ask the Professor when he returns, he might have heard the roar as well." Victor seems sorta lost and is just sort of having a look around.
Axel	"Another journey would calm Nickle down. Or not"
Cici	"Yeah, do you need us for anything else here, Aidan?"
Aidan	"Yes, yes, if you have no other obligations, I'd quite like it if you gathered some more data about this." "Oh, and here is your payment for the package."
Nickle	Where you off to, kid?
Cici	"Oh! Thanks."
Romain	this magnemite is talking and i am disturbed Victor pokes Jack. Aidan hands 500 pokeyen to Jack, Cici, and Axel.
Jack	"I get paid? woohoo!"
Victor	"Creh?" Victor appears interested in Jack's enormous hat.
Aidan	"Of course! Hawthorn has a strict policy on payments to interns."
Jack	"Umm... hi?!
Will	is jack a bug catcher
Jack	"
Aidan	"I'm sorry I can't pay your other friends, however."
Will	bugs love big hats
Axel	The mag is not talkings, thats his toughts
Aidan	"I don't have the extra pokeyen for them."
Jack	I am a rock catcher and ice nabber Cici winces.
Cici	"Sorry, Will."
Will	"O-oh, uhm! That's fine. I wasn't really, expecting pay."
Cici	"Oh, I should have introduced you two! Where are my manners today?"
Aidan	"Speaking of which, you may invite your other friend inside. He's probably a bit cold outside." Nickle continues to glare at Romain, unblinking
Cici	"Will, this is Aidan. He's the head of our research team."
Jack	"I know my hat looks tasy victor"
Axel	"Huh? Outside?"
Will	"Hi, sir."
Jack	"but you can't have it."
Cici	"He reports directly to the Professor."
Victor	"Screee..." Victor is very disappointed.
Will	"This is a pretty cool lab, all these machines..."
Aidan	"Yes, the young boy outside the door? I can see him on the security cameras, he seems quite impatient."
Cici	"Uh... Aidan? He didn't come in with us..."
Jack	"Ohh.. okay! one leaf. just one."
Cici	"I have no idea who that guy is, actually."
Axel	"Oh? Sorry, I forgot about him" (He didn't, he's just assuming he did)
Cici	"A friend of yours, Axel?" Jack give leaf to victor
Axel	"Umm...maybe?"
Victor	"Scree!"
Axel	"I don't remember" Romain is poking his head out from the door Victor slowly chews on the little leaf. He seems quite satisfied. Axel goes outside
Axel	"Oh? Hello. Sorry for leaving you outside" "Nickle? How long have you been staring at him"
Romain	"!!!"
Cici	to Aidan "Do you think this is a new trainer? Already? Did the Professor already start asking people to the lab?" "Maybe we should go find him..."
Romain	anime sweating
Axel	"Nickle, please, let the kid come inside"
Aidan	"The Professor hasn't invited anyone, no." "I wouldn't be surprised if someone came by themselves, however."
Nickle	You win this time Cici sighs
Romain	"c-canigoinside"
Axel	"Yes, please come in"
Romain	"Thank you." "I was waiting for ages."
Cici	"We told people we wouldn't be finished setting up until tomorrow... I suppose some people are impatient."
Axel	"Oh? That's tomorrow?" Cici jumps a little at seeing that weird kid come inside as she says that
Aidan	"We don't even have any Pokemon yet!"
Jack	"Oh! it's that weird guy from in town!"
Cici	even though he totally couldn't hear her
Will	"You guys help new trainers?"
Aidan	"Of course! We are the only Lab on the island at the moment."
Cici	"Any word on the pokemon shipment from the Unova branch?"
Axel	"Primary job of a professor is to start up new trainers"
Jack	"Well yeah, this place is meant to be a starting point for them"
Axel	(How old is Hawthorn?)
Will	"Oh, right, starting pokemon..."
Cici	"I was hoping to pick that up today while we were in town, but no luck, obviously..."
Aidan	"The Unova shipment should be here in a few days, I've been told. The Kanto one should be here just shortly after."
Will	i know these places!
Drufle (GM)	Hawthorn is, let's say, 48.
Cici	"Phew, that shouldn't be too bad. We'll just have to ask the new trainers to wait a few days..."
Axel	(Dang, he might have started Axel off then)
Will	do they ship pokemon oh right
Aidan	"Now, do you have a Pokemon, young man?"
Will	theyd keep them in balls of course
Aidan	"We don't have any yet, unfortunately."
Cici	tight confined cages which are clear animal rights violations even though pokeballs are like, $2
Axel	I don't think a cage could hold a starter not a Kalos starter, at least. Start off with their STAB
Cici	one of those cages team rocket puts pikachu in. those are pretty sturdy anyways
Aidan	"Well, if that's all, you can head off. I don't have any other jobs at the moment."
Cici	new guy has walked in the door and suffered a stroke
Axel	Golurk, say something
Will	yo new guy the aide asked you a question
Romain	where
Axel	Do you have a pokemon?
Romain	where even is that guy
Axel	probably up top?
Will	he's the GIANT over there
Romain	pixel man at next to the boxes?
Axel	He's the background
Drufle (GM)	Yeah I was just pretending he's the science guy in the top right.
Romain	to Axel "Are they referring to me..."
Axel	"Hm? Oh yes, I think so"
Victor	"Cree!"
Romain	to the Giant Pixel Man "Uh, well... It's complicated." Victor is a little timid of the newcomer and has run back to Cici
Aidan	"Well, that's fair." "Stick with my aides, they're quite a handy bunch!"
Victor	facebook pokemon relationship status; it's complicated
Axel	^
Aidan	"Now off with you, I've got some more work to do."
Zoop	yawn
Cici	"Alright, let's clear out, gang."
Axel	"Alright!...were?"
Cici	"Give these guys some time to get back to work."
Will	"(morning)"
Axel	"The field, right?" Cici nods
Axel	"Or should we rest"
Nickle	No, lets go
Cici	"We need to check out whatever's happening out on the road." "Maybe we'll bump into the Professor?
Axel	Its still Day 1
Romain	neat
Cici	as they head out the door
Axel	Have we looked for treasure yet?
Cici	"So, Will, are you going to be leaving us here?"
Drufle (GM)	Oh nuts, I totally forgot about treasure.
Will	"Uhm..."
Axel	I shall loot the lab
Romain	these tiles arent aligned
Cici	"You're welcome to come along with us back to the field, if you'd like."
Axel	I work here anyways loot my desk
Cici	"It's the opposite direction from the Gym, I'm afraid."
Will	"Really? I mean, I could use some more training, so..."
Axel	arn't there only 7 gyms?
Will	"Is that okay?" Jack uses his archeological skills to burgle the desk
Drufle (GM)	Well, whoever has the highest Attention is meant to make the roll.
Cici	hesitates
Will	mine is 6
Drufle (GM)	And yes, there are currently only 7 gyms.
Jack	mine is also 6
Will	should i roll then
Axel	We will need to make the eight
Cici	"Yes, of course! You're free to tag along too, er..." "Mister...?"
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead, Will!
Axel	We got two guys with 6 attention Cici looks back at the goth guy who's still following them around
Will	rolling 2d6 + 6( 6 + 1 )+6 = 13
Axel	oh dear
Drufle (GM)	Roll a 1d6.
Axel	oh yay?
Cici	let's say we just find this when we get back to the road, shall we
Romain	[2d6+{.?}]
Cici	oh golurk: fun tips for cool kids
Drufle (GM)	Yes, I'm just making sure I know what he got.
Romain	woops i forgot to talktomyself
Cici	you can do advantage in a roll
Drufle (GM)	Will: Roll 1d6, please.
Cici	it's like /roll 3d6k2
Romain	ill set this up later
Will	rolling 1d6( 1 ) = 1
Cici	nice
Drufle (GM)	Mmk.
Axel	we got a roll
Will	these dice are heavy
Drufle (GM)	I'll give you your treasure later.
Jack	will drops his glasses
Cici	anime guy is still out in the corner there animan
Drufle (GM)	And here we are, back on Route 1!
Romain	the seventh route 1
Jack	everyone heal up
Axel	Pills here
Drufle (GM)	Will stumbles over a small bag while he's walking.
Zoop	"Upa?"
Cici	Will Falls Down Counter: 1
Will	"Ern," "Erm"*
Romain	"huff huff Oh goodyoureoutsidenow"
Will	"What's this...?" Jack peers over will''s shoulder Nickle wanders over to check on Will
Drufle (GM)	Inside the bag are 4 Potions, 5 Pokeballs, 2 Revives, and 1 Ether!
Cici	"Good question, Will. Looks like someone dropped something."
Drufle (GM)	Lucky break!
Cici	"You'd be surprised how often that happens..."
Nickle	well thats good
Jack	"Aw, I cou;d've found that on our first way through here..."
Nickle	a pokeball for everyone
Will	"Wow, that's a lot to lose..."
Nickle	who gets what?
Cici	"Maybe some pokemon were hoarding it."
Nickle	Will found it, he gets to choose
Axel	"I've lost more things here than I can remember"
Cici	"It's a shame there doesn't seem to be any form of identification. I suppose we might as well keep it." "It's probably Axel's, let's be honest."
Axel	"Oh, if you find a small, black pokeball-esqu thing...don't pick it up"
Cici	grinning "We have to pack an extra lunch for him whenever we go on field work."
Axel	"I don't forget that much..." Jack laughs nervously
Axel	"Err...Nickle doesn't forget that often" Nickle rolls his eye Cici releases Clara, and she and Victor sort of cautiously stare at each other
Romain	"Hello...? I hope I am not interrupting something important task, but could I ask for some.. assistance"
Clara	>:\
Romain	*some
Will	"Oh, hi.."
Victor	"Scree?" Victor is obviously a little afraid of the scary bug who covered him in the nasty sticky spores earlier.
Romain	"This is embarrassing but"
Cici	"Oh! You're the boy from the lab... Sure, we'd..." "Play nice you two!"
Romain	"I seem to have lost my Pokemon." "Misplaced?"
Will	"W-what?!"
Axel	"What? Lost your pokemon!" Clara was about to bite Victor, but stops and growls softly
Clara	>:U
Romain	bug face
Victor	"Scree..."
Axel	"Of course we'll help!" Victor cries a bit. He's so sad. Nickle bops Clara on the head, disapointed in her behavior
Jack	"Yeah, we'll definitely help!"
Cici	"I'd be glad to help you search, Mr...?" Brunt just does not care
Clara	D:> :I
Nickle	"Bzzzt"
Romain	"Romain" Clara pretends to be suddenly disinterested and climbs up onto Cici's pack
Romain	mayor dewey (mayor dewey)
Will	"Do you have any idea where it might be?" Nickle is not fooled. Nothing fools the robot
Cici	"Pleased to meet you, Romain. I'm Cici and these are my companions, Clara and Victor."
Will	"Actually uhm, what kind of pokemon is it??"
Jack	"Hello there"
Romain	"I let it out of its ball yesterday" Cici realizes that now might not be the best time for introductions
Romain	"Around.. over there? Under the tree."
Axel	"The tree? A good place to start"
Cici	"So, what happened?"
Romain	"Its name is Jack, and it's a Litwick."
Zoop	Zoop leaps onto Will's head, and scans the area. Jack pouts
Axel	"Ohhh! That'll stand out" "Lets go!"
Cici	"Hehe... What a coincidence." Nickle floats upward and scans the surroundings
Drufle (GM)	Off in the distance, you hear the same roar, louder, like a creature is breaking the air around you.
Nickle	Engage zoom functions
Romain	its arceus
Cici	"Oh!"
Jack	that's a very specific simile to use
Nickle	uh oh Cici is slightly startled, before regaining her composure
Zoop	Zoop is startled slightly, and topples over.
Axel	This better not be Rayquaza
Will	catch
Drufle (GM)	You see a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto fly above you towards Marina.
Romain	its skeletron prime
Cici	"...We should hurry. I don't like the sounds of whatever that was."
Romain	oh
Axel	"This could be bad"
Drufle (GM)	rolling 1d6( 1 ) = 1
Axel	a 1
Cici	"With all the pokemon panicking like this, your Litwick might be anywhere by now..." Nickle revs up his magnets
Drufle (GM)	You walk forwards towards the tree, when suddenly the ground beneath you rumbles for a few seconds. Then, silence.
Cici	"What exactly happened after you let it out of its pokeball, Romain?" "Did it run away?"
Axel	"What was that? What...what now?"
Will	"W-woah!"
Jack	"This... isn't an earthquake zone, is it, guys?"
Cici	incredibly serious voice
Axel	"I'm not a geologist"
Drufle (GM)	You hear a faint growling from beneath you, and suddenly the ground gives away!
Cici	"We really need to hurry here. This might be too dangerous to investigate, but we need to find that Litwick before anything else happens."
Axel	Fight fight fight
Jack	under us?
Drufle (GM)	Of course under you!
Romain	"The moment I let it out of my sight, it vanished."
Jack	well shite
Cici	in reality, that sentence stops at around "investigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-" Axel topples over
Drufle (GM)	The ground collapses about 5 meters before settling again.
Romain	oh Axel and falls onto...whoever is next to him
Will	Will holds onto Zoop!
Cici	if there are some magic crystals telling us about our destiny im leaving Axel is next to...Cici
Romain	same
Drufle (GM)	xD No, there are no crystals. Clara screams.
Will	don't mock the crystal
Romain	Minerals
Will	ill headbutt you
Cici	we... are the crystal pokemen
Jack	"Jeez! almost had a heart attack!"
Drufle (GM)	Off to one side you see a tunnel through which a pair of glowing red eyes are staring at you.
Axel	We shall be the Thunderstone Heros
Jack	oh balls
Romain	"uhhhh..."
Cici	this music is incredibly ill-fitting
Drufle (GM)	The eyes blink a few times, and then the tunnel collapses over it.
Romain	drufle black out the screen
Axel	something needs to fight
Romain	what the fuck
Zoop	Zoop jumps out of Will's arms and runs to the front.
Axel	oh dear BOSS BATTLE!?
Jack	this is zygarde musci
Zoop	Engage Serious Face
Nickle	Its time for war
Cici	"I don't know what that was, but..."
Nickle	I have been preparing for this very moment
Drufle (GM)	Whatever it was, it's gone now.
Cici	"It might be trapped, or it might be the thing that just tried to drag us onto it."
Romain	"Idon'thaveaPokemon!!!"
Zoop	"Uu...pah?"
Cici	"It certainly didn't look helpless."
Axel	I can't see what is going on
Will	"Zoop!!" "Yeesh."
Cici	"Everyone, climb out of here. Quickly."
Will	"Is..it gone?"
Axel	"I don't know! Where is everything!"
Drufle (GM)	You all seem to now be sitting in a 5 m sinkhole, about 10 m in radius.
Romain	rolling 2d6+5( 2 + 2 )+5 = 9 Axel flounders around a bit
Cici	"I'll push you up. Jack, you first."
Jack	"This thing could sink further at any second!"
Drufle (GM)	A few Diglett pop up near you, afraid, and then descend again after seeing you.
Cici	aww
Will	"Woah!"
Cici	cuties
Jack	"ok Cici"
Drufle (GM)	Everything seems to have settled down.
Cici	How smooth are the walls?
Will	guys 5m is pretty high
Cici	will climbing out be hard Nickle sees the diglets and discharges instead of attacking. No point in storing charge against ground types
Jack	not for ANIME HUMANS
Drufle (GM)	No, you can climb out. It's quite a shallow grade.
Romain	grave
Will	so uh, there's a cave? Nickle floats down and grabs Axel by the collar, pulling him to his feet Cici awkwardly pushes Jack out by pushing on his legs so he doesn't slide down
Drufle (GM)	There is a cave!
Axel	"Ah, thanks"
Cici	it's really awkward
Drufle (GM)	Granted, it's collapsed.
Axel	"What happened? I didn't see anything"
Drufle (GM)	And there was some kind of horrifying creature in there. But yes, a cave!
Will	so we can't really enter it?
Cici	"Something big was in that cave... right up until the roof fell down on it."
Drufle (GM)	Are any of your Pokemon capable of opening it?
Will	Zoop isn't.
Axel	Is it iron ore?
Jack	"We fell into the tunnel of a big monster, Mr. Axel"
Romain	"Ugh. dirt on my clothes."
Cici	"Perhaps we should focus on finding that Litwick before anything else happens."
Axel	Do we have any physical strength on our team?
Drufle (GM)	If you'd like, you can make a physical aptitude check to see if your Pokemon can dig out the tunnel.
Cici	"Then we can check out the cave."
Axel	I'll try
Cici	i think streak has physical aptitude
Drufle (GM)	You might want to get Romain's Litwick, though. He can't be that far away, right?
Will	I do But let's do the Litwick thing first
Axel	We save the Litwick and try to open this cave
Cici	"Why don't you call for it, Romain?"
Jack	"We need to tell more people about this, these sinkholes could kill someone if more appear."
Axel	"I've never seen anything li- wait" Cici nods Axel pulls out his notebook
Cici	"I'll be sure to note it in my report."
Axel	"Uhh...yes. I have never seen anything like this before!"
Romain	"I have tried. A lot. I've just had it for a few weeks so it's not that.. attached to me."
Drufle (GM)	Once you've climbed out of the sinkhole, you notice a few similar, smaller ones in the direction of the mountains.
Cici	"I'm not positive that creature in the tunnel was the source of the quakes, but... I have a hunch, you know?"
Axel	"I can have Nickle run some calculations"
Romain	"If it's any help to you, Litwick are drawn to other living beings." "To feed."
Jack	"That's not a comforting thought, sir"
Cici	to Romain "That's understandable. Clara would barely so much as look at me for the first few months after I caught her."
Clara	:B
Axel	"Nickle was the same way... I think" "He hasn't really changed"
Nickle	I work for you
Cici	"So do you think if we just... Hang around here... Litwick will come to eat our life force or whatever?"
Jack	"Brunt still has trouble engaging with other people and Pokemon still"
Zoop	"UuuPAHH." Zoop yells out for the Litwick. Brunt glowers
Romain	"I hope Jack doesn't do anything.. drastic."
Nickle	I was following you from the start
Axel	"A Litwick's strength is not enough to cause serious harm yet"
Romain	who the hell is ignatio why can i impersonate it
Will	"I've known Zoop since I was little..."
Jack	"Well If Litwick are drawn to living things, then it's best to go back to Marina, maybe?"
Drufle (GM)	Oh, sorry. I never renamed your Litwick. I called him Ignatio as a placeholder.
Axel	"Most people know not to trust a Litwick"
Romain	oh lol offscreen with you there
Drufle (GM)	So, are we looking for Litwick?
Nickle	Yes
Drufle (GM)	Moving on?
Jack	yes
Drufle (GM)	Alright, Attention!
Nickle	We'll come back to the cave later
Axel	rolling 2d6+5( 3 + 4 )+5 = 12 all of us?
Will	rolling 2d6 + 6( 2 + 6 )+6 = 14
Cici	clara was called leafmaster chomp
Drufle (GM)	Look, I needed names.
Cici	lmao
Drufle (GM)	I gave them names. Will, you think you see something in the distance, by a knoll.
Romain	Dark Flame Master Ignatio
Cici	do we actually need to roll attention i thoguht you were just asking us to pay attention
Romain	Jack was the sniper on the grassy knoll
Drufle (GM)	No, that's a roll.
Will	"Hey, what's that?" Will says, pointing.
Cici	rolling 2d6+4( 2 + 5 )+4 = 11 look a bird Nickle moves out to investigate in the direction that Will is pointing
Zoop	Zoop jumps off Will's head and runs alongside Nickle.
Nickle	Because unlike Axel, he sees better with his ONE EYE
Cici	"Good question. Let's head that way, I suppose."
Jack	rolling 2d6 + 6( 1 + 1 )+6 = 8
Romain	nice
Cici	jack falls back in the hole Jack gets dust in his eye
Axel	"I don't see anything..."
Drufle (GM)	xD
Zoop	what do we find DRUF Axel looks everywhere but where people are going
Drufle (GM)	You find a burnt patch of grass! Something firey was here recently.
Will	"Well, this seems pretty obvious."
Romain	"It's one matter to find him. It's another matter entirely to catch him."
Will	"Cici, do any fire pokemon live around here?" Victor cries more for no apparent reason. He's one sad bug.
Cici	"Not many, as far as I'm aware. And none that leave marks like this. Sounds a lot like our missing Litwick." Nickle notices where everyone went
Nickle	woops
Cici	"Now, where would he have gone from here...?" Axel notices where everyone went
Axel	"Hey! Wait!"
Drufle (GM)	In case you're wondering, there are only two Fire Pokemon that normally inhabit grasslands.
Victor	"Scree?"
Axel	I swear I didn't have this much trouble with Borris and Isabel
Will	Should we roll again to notice more details?
Drufle (GM)	And that would be Fletchinder and Talonflame. Victor says hello to the friendly looking blue chap with no arms.
Drufle (GM)	Sure!
Will	rolling 2d6 +6( 4 + 5 )+6 = 15
Axel	rolling 2d6 +5( 1 + 3 )+5 = 9
Will	"Hmm..."
Axel	I swear
Victor	rolling 2d6+4( 1 + 4 )+4 = 9
Axel	Can I have Nickle roll for me?
Victor	victor dunt see SHIT
Axel	I just feel like he'd be better at this
Cici	lmao
Drufle (GM)	Will, I think you see a Litwick!
Cici	who's that pokemon
Will	"Over there!"
Romain	"HEYYYY. Jack! You got me. I have been Pranked. Please come back."
Zoop	zoom Nickle moves in
Victor	"Scree!"
Nickle	Target Aquired
Zoop	his magnets become machine guns Victor desperately tries to get the blue gentleman's attention without looking too needy. he looks super needy
Axel	Someday, Zoop, someday
Zoop	am...am i the blue gentleman
Axel	yes
Jack	I was confused too
Romain	angry staring
Zoop	Zoop is too focused on the task to notice this.
Drufle (GM)	Well, you are the one with anime blue hair.
Zoop	Well, I meant Zoop, actually... he's the bluest.
Axel	Zoop is indeed the gentleman
Zoop	yes, the perfect gentleman Brunt feels scorned despite having never interacted with Victor before
Romain	waht do
Will	What do we find!
Axel	how do Litwick
Drufle (GM)	Well you find a Litwick, clearly. I mean, it's right there.
Romain	"Dont.. sink into the ground."
Drufle (GM)	See?
Will	"There it is!" "Zoop, don't scare it!"
Zoop	Zoop stops, and lets Romain take the lead.
Romain	"What in the world were you up to"
Jack	roll empathy mabe
Romain	"I'm the only one allowed to feed you, you know."
Jack	diplomacy
Will	S-such a happy reunion!
Axel	that's a bit dark
Will	sniff
Drufle (GM)	Well, that explains the white hair.
Romain	"Ok time to get in here now. Direct sunlight isn't healthy for either of us!" Victor is too busy stewing in misery to notice Brunt!
Cici	"..."
Will	Will is physically moved by this lovely reunion.
Romain	zappy pokeball noises Cici is sort of freaked out but doesn't want to admit it
Nickle	I am ready to fill this candle full of thunder if I need to
Cici	"Er... Well, then."
Will	"Yaaay."
Cici	"We should head back to the lab immediately, probably. And then perhaps we can investigate that tunnel afterwards." Brunt Brunt's chilly heart is stirred by the sad bug
Cici	brunt brunt
Axel	"Did we find him?"
Cici	sounds like a joe & mac character
Brunt	"?"
Will	axel pls Nickle rolls my eye
Cici	detective axel gumshoe
Brunt	ow
Will	is brunt the blue gentleman
Drufle (GM)	You retrieved Jack!
Axel	That's why he has Nickle
Drufle (GM)	The other Jack!
Will	was this established
Romain	"Thank you, all of you. Something unimaginably horrible might have happened!" Victor suddenly notices the giant iceberg standing next to him and jumps a little bit
Victor	"Scree!"
Axel	Who do you think answers his phone calls? "Yes Yes, we were successful"
Will	"I'm glad we found him, he'd have been so scared, out here alone..."
Axel	"So, about that cave"
Cici	we are all the blue gentleman on the inside
Romain	"I was more afraid for the wild Pokemon around here but ok."
Cici	it didnt occur to me that blue guy with no arms applies to both pokemon honestly lmao
Brunt	bahah
Will	Will laughs nervously.
Drufle (GM)	The Blue Gentleman is whoever you wish it to be!
Romain	haha no arm will
Cici	but yes he was trying to be friends with zoop zoop looks friendly and charismatic but victor lacks the personality to be visible to such a powerful leader!!
Will	He is, it was just a bad time
Jack	Ao No Shinshi
Axel	awsome, do we get EXP for that?
Drufle (GM)	So, what to do about the caves?
Zoop	Zoop runs around for a bit.
Drufle (GM)	EXP, huh?
Axel	Also, I have another way to dig out the tunnel
Cici	victor's character development will be the most involved part of this whole game
Jack	"What's goin' on? I was miles away"
Drufle (GM)	Hm, I suppose so. Mark down 1 exp. And you may make another treasure roll, if you like.
Axel	Axel, master haggler
Cici	"So do you all think we should head back to the lab first...?"
Axel	Another treasure roll?
Drufle (GM)	Maybe the sinkholes unearthed something!
Will	Want me to do it?
Cici	"That cave looks dangerous. Even if the rest of it hasn't already collapsed."
Axel	While you guys look for treasure...I feel like building something
Jack	I'lk doo
Will	or whoever else was 6
Cici	jack can do it
Jack	imm archelolgiist
Cici	how far are we from the lab, drufle
Will	clearly a professional
Jack	rolling 2d6 + 6( 4 + 3 )+6 = 13
Drufle (GM)	Not too far, really.
Will	jack trips
Cici	like 10 minutes?
Drufle (GM)	Maybe like a 5 minute walk, tops.
Cici	ish? ooh
Axel	A particular kind of machine I'm sure we'll all dig
Drufle (GM)	Another 13, huh? Roll 1d6.
Cici	"Axel, if you're going to try and get us into the cave..."
Jack	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2
Axel	Drufle, I'd like to invent a digging device
Cici	"I think I'll go report back to Aidan and tell him what we've found."
Axel	as my scientist power
Will	you know
Axel	"I have an Idea"
Will	you could just call him
Cici	"Why don't you all stick around? You're welcome to investigate with us if you'd like, Romain."
Will	with like, a phone
Drufle (GM)	Jack: One pearl, 1 hyper potion, 1 potion, 1 revive, and 2 ultra balls! My, what a find!
Cici	there's no phone service here yet Axel rushes off to the skinhole
Cici	duh!!
Jack	"Oh wow!! Guys, look what I found!!"
Axel	2 ultraballs
Drufle (GM)	Axel: Alright, have a go!
Cici	oh we never split up the earlier shit
Axel	ULTRABALLS?
Cici	it takes axel an hour first to make something
Axel	ok, what do I roll?
Cici	right
Will	figure it out after the session
Cici	maybe only roll after we do the other stuff
Romain	"I would like that. I wouldn't want anyone else to fall into a shallow grave like we did just now."
Will	"Hey, Axel, what're you doing?"
Drufle (GM)	Yes, it takes him an hour to do this.
Cici	"Nice find, Jack!"
Axel	"I...am...working"
Drufle (GM)	It's aptitude. Axel messes around with random scraps of metal he found
Cici	"Why don't we split up these supplies and the ones Will found earlier?"
Will	"O-oh! Sorry, am I...interrupting...?"
Jack	Drufle did you factor in my fossil chances
Axel	rolling 2d6 + 6( 3 + 1 )+6 = 10 oh no
Drufle (GM)	Hm.
Axel	My hour is going to waste
Cici	axels developed a large stick with a rock on the end Science
Drufle (GM)	You cobble together a sort of makeshift shovel, but it looks a bit flimsy. Axel is too into his invention to notice how bad it is
Romain	makeshift shovel Nickle eyes the shovel with suspicion
Drufle (GM)	You'll have to make a physical check. To use it properly.
Romain	wheres the hole
Axel	"Who's got muscles?"
Drufle (GM)	Or sorry, a human capacity check.
Cici	doesnt that take like an hour
Drufle (GM)	If you're using it.
Axel	I'm handing it to someone who'd do better
Cici	lets assume meanwhile ive gone and told aidan what happened
Drufle (GM)	Yes, it's been an hour.
Axel	We all waited an hour, obviously
Cici	and ive also been studying victor
Will	the Phy stat is for your pokemon, not you, specifically, right
Cici	and writing a report on what he do
Drufle (GM)	The Physical stat is for your pokemon, yes.
Will	and the Spe too of course unless you have some weird powers i guess
Axel	ok, what is Human Capacity? Or can I give this to a pokemon?
Drufle (GM)	Aidan was quite distraught about this, and left the lab to find the Professor.
Will	its 5 always
Drufle (GM)	HC is always 5.
Axel	rolling 2d6 + 5( 6 + 2 )+5 = 13
Drufle (GM)	You can have a Pokemon use it with the Physical stat instead, if you like. Also, you add your aptitude.
Axel	Oh now you tell me
Will	All People are equal in communist PPP
Axel	oh? + 6 then
Drufle (GM)	A 19!
Cici	i've written a series of notes on Venipede Axel begins diggin
Cici	which i will actually write, after this for 1 xp Nickle just watches
Axel	Don't I get EXP for this?
Drufle (GM)	Despite your horrendously shoddy shovelcrafting, you get enough of a hold on the dirt to remove a surprising amount of it!
Cici	maybe it'll be the pokedex entry?? idk if we decided that i write pokedex entries yet
Romain	can i do kinesis
Will	you should
Axel	Oh my yes
Will	that'd be fun
Drufle (GM)	And yes, you get 1 EXP for using one of your devices appropriately. Er, sorry.
Axel	YESSS
Drufle (GM)	You have to take notes. To get the EXP
Axel	oh Should I do that now?
Drufle (GM)	Every time you build such a machine, you may spend an hour of the day when it was built logging its schematics in a journal. If you do so, you gain 1xp, and building the same device again only takes 20 minutes
Jack	it is now 4 AM
Drufle (GM)	No, leave it for later.
Will	Shovel Schematics
Axel	oh, thats actually useful
Cici	this is the end time we end with
Axel	When do I log?
Drufle (GM)	We are at the end of the session!
Cici	everyones socialized for an hour axel dug a hole good job
Drufle (GM)	You may log the work and get your EXP next session
Jack	I am glad we all got here in the end
Drufle (GM)	Keep it in mind!
Cici	victor is slightly less severely depressed
Drufle (GM)	After a while of hard work, Axel has uncovered the collapsed tunnel!
Will	oh
Drufle (GM)	It seems... hot.
Will	can i spend the hour training zoop then
Drufle (GM)	Of course!
Axel	Made a note
Will	we do backflips well he does
Drufle (GM)	Take your exp for that.
Axel	Huh?
Drufle (GM)	Next time on PPP, we find out what's up with the tunnel! Probably!
Axel	"AHAH!! I did it"
Drufle (GM)	Maybe!
Jack	thanku
Axel	"Victory! Success! GLORIOUS!!"
Romain	its zygarde
Jack	goodnighththt Nickle rolls his eye, again
Drufle (GM)	And now everyone may go to sleep. Or continue waking up. In Golurk's case.
Zoop	Upa. wheres jikai
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, I don't have him.
Zoop	psykai who is a psyduck
Romain	thats nice i managed to squeeze myself into this session
Axel	It was good to have you
Zoop	it all worked out well i think
Axel	Sidequests are always welcome and allies
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I think that went well enough.
Axel	and cool pokemon
Drufle (GM)	Also by the way.
Cici	yeah if this went the same way we would have been in a cave next session it would be weird
Drufle (GM)	You weren't supposed to fight a Scolipede.
Cici	for romain to just show up in this weird-ass cave 'hey guys whats up' 'i fell in a hole'
Romain	he has lived in these caves for centuries, clearly
Axel	Scolipede was random, but managable
Cici	'is this hell '
Drufle (GM)	I may have accidentally used the forest biome instead of the grassland biome.
Cici	lmao
Drufle (GM)	When rolling for encounters.
Axel	Hell is a clown sitting next to Nickle
Cici	we were near that one tree it's sort of like a forest
Drufle (GM)	You were actually supposed to fight a Linoone and some Zigzagoon.
Axel	That's no fun
Cici	ill never tell
Axel	The Scolipede fight was better
Drufle (GM)	So fun fact: Over the course of this session, I have decided what the plot of this game will be.
Romain	they couldve been hilarious
Drufle (GM)	Because I didn't actually have a long-term plan beforehand.
Axel	already? wow we improvised an entire plot! Yay
Cici	nice
Romain	zigzagoon running in zigzags and the linoone in straight lines, colliding wit each other
Cici	thunk thunk thunk battle over Nickle hands Drufle a GM of the Day award
Cici	they never even reach us
Drufle (GM)	Linoone wouldn't really be much of a problem. Streak has envy of this
Cici	so im gonna write those pokedex entries
Drufle (GM)	Its ability is just that it has +1 speed.
Axel	wow
Cici	ill give you sewaddle as a freebie even tho i dont get xp for that one it'd make sense for me to write about my pokemon tho!! roleplaying~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romain	a psychic's thing is.. oh 2 hours
Will	'sewaddle is totally cool and strong and great and'
Romain	why 2 hours training psychic powers thats boring
Cici	clara the cool pokemon she is hot and brave and the best signed clara
Will	v impartial and non biased
Romain	what was clara's placeholder name
Axel	Nickle can write, I'm sure He's been working long enough
Drufle (GM)	Golurk: it's probably to compensate for the fact that you have pokemon moves. As a human.
Romain	hella
Cici	it was leafmaster chomp
Axel	Sabrina's cousin
Romain	does "You also qualify (as though you were a Pokémon) for the field moves Teleport, Magic Trick, and Astral Projection." mean i can use them
Will	wait what
Drufle (GM)	Granted I don't think you can use any of them yet.
Romain	just straight up use them
Drufle (GM)	You need the boons.
Romain	boooo ns
Will	im sorry what i missed this completely
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, the Mystic Persona gets access to some psychic moves. Like actual Pokemon moves.
Cici	they're field moves
Axel	Teleport is cool
Cici	so it's more like you get magic powers
Will	thats it im buying a gun
Cici	which pokemon also have
Drufle (GM)	xD
Axel	Will isn't old enough to have a gun
Romain	stake launcher bruh
Will	i want gun powers
Cici	Gun (normal type attack) 300 power. fucking a bullet hits them and they die
Axel	Plus Nickle would just steal it for himself
Romain	steel move pls
Drufle (GM)	Hey uh, is Litwick glowing?
Cici	magnemite... with a GUN
Drufle (GM)	Who gave him an aura.
Romain	shoot diancie with a gun
Will	??
Romain	every diancie in existence also dies
Axel	I see no aura
Will	we can't see it
Drufle (GM)	Oh really? Huh. ACK Why is the whole screen purple?
Cici	drufles gone mad i cant see that either this is it. the gun jokes pushed him over the edge
Drufle (GM)	There i fixed the settings.
Cici	drufle: do you have a list of all the shit we got
Romain	nobody else can see it?
Axel	Ah, now I see it
Drufle (GM)	See! an aura!
Will	so i have 4xp
Romain	there
Drufle (GM)	Cici: uh, no.
Cici	shadow litwick
Axel	Nickle does not like being there
Will	do you like my exp bar
Cici	ill scroll through the log
Drufle (GM)	I mean, I know what you got.
Romain	nice we can tint the screen
Drufle (GM)	You got a 1 and 2 on the treasure table.
Axel	how do we handle the loot we got?
Cici	why this
Romain	intense sunlight
Axel	Who gets what?
Cici	i was going to suggest the first batch just goes between the first 4 of us because golurk wasnt here for that
Romain	fair
Axel	ok
Cici	we could do like a first pick system go in turns, everyone picks one
Drufle (GM)	How about need/greed?
Cici	pokeballs and potions go evenly when possible, etc
Axel	do we have a system of that?
Romain	need/greed/marry
Drufle (GM)	Or a DPK system?
Romain	who
Cici	donkey piss kek
Axel	Put the items in a note first
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, mmo nerd terms.
Romain	damage per kek
Will	zoop already took all the items
Axel	so we can look at them
Will	hes ran off
Cici	okay so the first loot haul was 4 Potions, 5 Pokeballs, 2 Revives, and 1 Ether
Romain	we should have a communist item pc
Drufle (GM)	Whoops, DKP.
Cici	donkey kong poop
Axel	I still don't know what that is
Drufle (GM)	dragon kill points
Cici	so the first bits seem easy to divvy up
Will	now its all cleared up
Cici	then between the four of us
Axel	I am even more confused
Drufle (GM)	It's a system that mmo raiding guilds use to divvy up items.
Cici	one gets a pokeball 2 people get revives and one person gets an ether
Romain	i will steal stuff from your bags using telekinesis
Cici	i sorta want the extra pokeball
Drufle (GM)	You get a certain amount of DKP every time you're in a raid and participate, and you spend it to "buy" items.
Cici	anyone else have a preference
Will	revive i guess
Axel	That is too complicated
Cici	that sounds way too complicated honestly lol i don't think we'll get THAT much loot
Axel	I may want a revive
Cici	we stick mopp with the ether then?
Axel	I mean who wouldn't?
Will	is the ether useless no one has PP
Axel	Yes, Mopp gets the ether for leaving early
Cici	it restores PP yeah so it'll be nice later
Drufle (GM)	I was kidding, of course.
Cici	i figured i was sorta taking the shit item with the extra pokeball
Romain	soon: 2 billion pokeyen, 52 unpolished gemstones, every single Plate, 5 leaf stones, zero other stones, 500 potions, etc.
Drufle (GM)	I'd never use DKP on something like this.
Axel	Need/Greed/Pass then?
Will	nice save drufle
Drufle (GM)	The need/greed was an actual suggestion, the DKP was a joke
Will	:B
Drufle (GM)	:P
Cici	okay so from that first haul i've gained
Axel	Once you explained DKP I couldn't take it seriously
Cici	1 potion and 2 pokebnalls bnalls
Will	actually i better not :B i already look enough like egbert
Drufle (GM)	xD
Romain	" that was my keikaku all along of course. its not like i liked dkp or anything!! b-baka."
Drufle (GM)	I was wondering if you would notice that.
Will	i really don't care about the items so just gimme what you think i need i guess
Romain	gimme what i neeeed drufle play this thing i will link
Axel	I guess I'll have 1 potion, 1 pokeball (the standard) and a revive Cause I ain't taking the Ether
Romain	what does ether do
Cici	restores PP we don't have yet or we could sell it
Drufle (GM)	Fills your PP.
Cici	for quite a bit i think? a few hundred
Romain	fills your pepe
Drufle (GM)	Ether is worth 1500.
Axel	I still don't get PP
Cici	okay yeah will and axel both get potion pokeball and revive
Drufle (GM)	PP is a trainer-based thing.
Cici	add those to ur sheets
Drufle (GM)	You use it for high-end field moves. And some powerful in-battle moves. You get 1 PP for every ultimate boon you have. or 2 if you are the ace trainer persona. Er, you start with 2.
Will	aces!!
Drufle (GM)	You don't get 2 per ultimate boon. That'd be silly. But yeah treasure troves are like.
Cici	alright
Drufle (GM)	The only way you get money in this game.
Cici	second loot pile 1 pearl, 1 hyper potion, 1 potion, 1 revive, and 2 ultra balls
Romain	drufle: https://soundcloud.com/zvaari/the-fresh-prince-of-nimbasas
Drufle (GM)	Unless you're the coordinator.
Cici	6 items and 5 people, mega awk
Romain	play this
Axel	6 almost-unique items as well roll to pick who goes first
Romain	1 Pearl
Cici	we should sell the pearl and split the money
Romain	thats clearly the most valuable
Axel	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2 Welp
Drufle (GM)	Pearl is worth 1000 pokeyen.
Axel	oh, Pearl is not for anyone then
Romain	pls dont sell Pearl
Will	we can't sell it now so cici you hold onto it
Axel	It'll just be sold
Romain	Pearl did nothing wrong
Drufle (GM)	Also wow, this sure is music.
Cici	romain reigns did nothign wrong
Drufle (GM)	Everyone else hears this, right?
Axel	I hear it
Romain	gimme what i neeeeed
Axel	very confused
Drufle (GM)	I don't remember Nimbasa sounding like this.
Cici	it's nimbasa gym combined with the fresh prince theme
Drufle (GM)	Dang.
Will	how was BW2 so much better than XY at music
Axel	guys, items?
Cici	let's give jack the hyper potion this time
Axel	I rolled a 2
Cici	we stiffed him last time
Axel	Or Romain gets the hyper potion that works
Romain	giff
Cici	drufle for simplicity's sake can we just magically sell the pearl instantly
Drufle (GM)	Sure!
Cici	instead of waiting until we get somewhere to sell it, and spend money
Axel	Oh no, The Litwick shares the same name as a player
Cici	okay that's 200 bucks each
Drufle (GM)	I'll say that any pure-cash items are instantly liquidized into pokeyen.
Romain	phoone your avatar is Pearl's reaction to being sold
Cici	yes
Will	im fine iwth the potion
Cici	do you guys think hyper potion or ultra ball is more valuable
Romain	give me ultra boll
Will	the regular one i mean
Romain	my aptitude is low
Cici	k
Drufle (GM)	Ultra ball= Hyper potion
Axel	Give Cici and ultra ball as well
Drufle (GM)	They're both 1200
Axel	Researcher
Cici	200 bucks to each of you btw yeah ill take an ultra ball
Axel	I will take a simple potion, I already have a revive
Cici	that leaves axel with a second reviev ye
Axel	or the revive again
Drufle (GM)	By the way, ultra ball is capture power 40.
Axel	who took the other potion?
Romain	i like how litwick can replace my face
Drufle (GM)	Which is far more than anything you'll need for a while.
Romain	demonic possession
Cici	will has the regular potion
Axel	Then I get another revive I got a feeling I'll have to use them on someone else's pokemon
Cici	if we wanted to get fancy we could compute the dollar value of all of this shit
Will	hey drufle
Cici	and figure out what proportion of the pearl everyone should get and stuff but that seems complicated
Will	are we logging this
Cici	and i dont mind losing a bit
Drufle (GM)	Uh, I'm not.
Cici	if need be
Will	i could do that
Drufle (GM)	I forgot how to do it, honestly.
Axel	Logs needed
Drufle (GM)	That would be wonderful, thank you.
Cici	scroll up to the top and there's a big view all chat in campaign button
Will	i actually snapped a few screenshots anyway
Axel	Chop down some search trees, make logs
Drufle (GM)	Man, ahead of the times.
Cici	good thinkin streak
Drufle (GM)	Good man. Alright! Is that all? Nickle hands Streak a GM of the Weekend award
Cici	i just gotta write my entries
Will	i do need token images though
Cici	which will be in the pokemon's character sheets
Drufle (GM)	Ah, yes.
Will	i have all the trainer ones
Drufle (GM)	How do you want me to get those to you?
Will	i just need the pokemon ones
Cici	unless there's a better place to put them
Drufle (GM)	phoone: thats fine i mean streak some of the images are just here http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Category:Shuffle_icons&filefrom=511%0AShuffle511.png#mw-category-media
Will	alrighty
Drufle (GM)	litwick, venipede, and bergmite are all from that page
Will	hey
Drufle (GM)	magnemite is a custom one so i'd have to upload it for you
Will	is litwick transparent
Drufle (GM)	um i think so?
Cici	do you think that i should write pokedex entries on other peoples' pokemon
Axel	I'll be making customs for all the pokemon I catch
Cici	i dont think i should get xp for it but
Drufle (GM)	all of the shuffle ones should be transparent
Cici	i could do it anyway
Axel	You can if you want
Will	nono i mean slightly see trhough
Drufle (GM)	uh
Cici	no?
Drufle (GM)	i think thats just how he looks a bit fadey
Will	put him over whitehead again he totally is thats so weird
Axel	I'm not seeing it
Will	i guess he is a ghose t
Drufle (GM)	yeah his opacity settings are normal i think thats just what the sprite looks like
Axel	Streak lost his mind
Will	i can totally see trhough him
Romain	yeah same like 90% opacity
Axel	I'm really not seein git
Will	i wonder if thats the suffle image shuffle*
Romain	its easier to see on bergmite also if you zoom in
Will	you can see bergs eye
Axel	I can't
Cici	bergie the friendly burger
Drufle (GM)	burgie right uh
Cici	whats this region called btw
Drufle (GM)	i'll imgur the remaining pics for you streak

Axel	Lewej region?
Cici	lewd regions
Will	yeah thats no good
Axel	Dang it phoone but yeah, that was bad. Sorry

Drufle (GM)	http://imgur.com/kTJ5557,vwJq8rR,hCIPHzU
Axel	Region needs a name
Cici	cici is from sinnoh.
Drufle (GM)	there you go streak
Will	Miera? or something its like mineral thank
Drufle (GM)	yeah we should probably go like
Axel	Larenim?
Drufle (GM)	some sort of gem-theme
Cici	so how big an island is this are we saying like
Drufle (GM)	well uh
Axel	No, use Miera
Drufle (GM)	look at your map
Romain	a gemology term or something
Cici	maybe new zealand kinda sized??
Romain	australia
Cici	i dont get much of a sense of scale from that im afraid
Romain	spider
Drufle (GM)	yeah i mean
Axel	I see the map
Drufle (GM)	its probably more like
Cici	the great pokemon region of Australia
Romain	uk?
Drufle (GM)	the smaller island of new zealand
Will	no its Space AUstralia
Axel	If I recall, the towns have a gemstone naming theme, right?
Cici	spaustralia
Drufle (GM)	yes like walking between the towns
Cici	corna 2
Will	Yellow Diamond
Drufle (GM)	well here
Cici	Crystal Clod
Will	cloda
Cici	nickys bobbies
Drufle (GM)	the stretch between 1 and the lab?
Cici	bobbia
Will	are we sticking to the five letters thing
Drufle (GM)	lets say that is an 8 hour walk
will	i would like that yes itd be nice
Cici	oh well then
Axel	Cryia
Cici	i guess we stayed in the town overnight...
Drufle (GM)	this island is fairly large
Cici	and left first thing in the morning
Drufle (GM)	and mostly uninhabited due to being pretty new
Axel	each tile is...an hour's walk?
Cici	i still think it looks like a shark with cool sunglasse s
Drufle (GM)	sure that sounds like a good rule
Axel	I mean, this thing is pixels, so
Romain	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streak_(mineralogy)
Drufle (GM)	each block takes approximately an hour to cross oh no
Cici	and the lab is right at that intersection?
Drufle (GM)	yep! that kind of light green block
Will	nice
Drufle (GM)	just north of the lake
Axel	so 6-7 hours, about from Marina
Drufle (GM)	correct also i should note that the water route between 1 and 5 is uh
Cici	i sort of like Galena
Drufle (GM)	mostly just like a ferry route
Cici	can we do something with that
Drufle (GM)	ooh, galena
Romain	Geode
Drufle (GM)	that is a nice stone
Romain	Deoge Doge
Will	galenas bein palenas
Cici	welcome to the world of doge im professor meme are you a normie, or a memelord
Romain	reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Drufle (GM)	streak how are you still awake
Axel	this world is inhabited by such pokemon
Will	the power of Heart
Drufle (GM)	nice
Cici	wild pepe appeared
Romain	beating hearts
Drufle (GM)	i thought you were a hope guy though
Cici	it's only a common pepe
Will	i was never bound by the 4am thing
Romain	many
Will	i think right now its only mopp
Axel	Nickle has been occasionally zapping Streak to keep him awake
Drufle (GM)	ah ok
Will	before sol was too
Drufle (GM)	yeah true
Will	i mean i should be bound by it but nope
Drufle (GM)	and yeah this island is inhabited by pokemon from all 6 regions why that is we'll find out at some point
Cici	what about Galens
Will	its because of
Cici	pronounced like Gay Lens
Will	chemtrails
Cici	rather than gahlens
Drufle (GM)	yeah thats nice kind of funny too
Axel	with or without the s?
Drufle (GM)	i had a social studies teacher named galen
Axel	5 or 6 letters?
Cici	with the s Galens
Drufle (GM)	yeah i like that
Romain	lead ore ok
Axel	I am good with Galens
Cici	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh8DsTP7qe0
Axel	Ash's mom sold it
Cici	i love how this means that
Romain	i thought streak said galenas bein palutenas but now it makes sense
Cici	will followed us for about 5 hours in complete silence
Will	what
Cici	and none of us really said anything to him until those bugs showed up
Axel	good point
Cici	because once we fought the bugs we were right near the lab lmao whats spacetime
Romain	many stalkers
Will	didn't we fight
Cici	and romain apparently was following will
Will	at the start of the route
Axel	I'm not sure
Cici	well we said we were near the city still
Axel	anymore
Cici	but then we also said we were closer to the lab than the city
Will	that was before we thought it was 5 hours though
Drufle (GM)	well youre assuming that spacetime behaves normally in pokemon world
Cici	i assumed it was route 1 sized to beginw ith
Will	not with giratina running around
Cici	you know
Axel	I really need to be asleep
Cici	the standard like
Will	damned Weird Animals
Cici	30 second walk
Axel	I must go, my bed needs me
Cici	night hora
Will	night
Axel	G'night everyone
Drufle (GM)	night
Cici	i think im gonna say that like i caught clara here but i have other pokemon back home drufle do you mind if i give the pokemon here odd physical distinctions nothing game-impairing just like. spots n shit or does that mess with Canon
Will	mine is slightly different
Drufle (GM)	yeah no go ahead
Romain	Jack is a scented candle
Will	so i don't think thats an issue
Cici	yeah streaks wooper got a tatoo
Drufle (GM)	we've already decided that there are some
Cici	he's Hardcore
Drufle (GM)	unusual variations
Romain	smells like roses
Drufle (GM)	on galens in fact i have a pretty good reason as to why that would be
Romain	radiation
Will	a two headed doduo! woaaah!!
Cici	chemtrails
Drufle (GM)	granted none of you get to know that
Romain	a One Headed Dodrio
Cici	The Discourse
Will	what the fuck
Cici	overexposure to shitposting
Romain	a 666 diglett dugtrio The Beast
Will	would a one headed doduo look unsettling
Romain	yes its just a bird
Will	like whne you take the mustache off of mario
Romain	or when you unscrew luigi's head from his body
Will	yes exactly so is anyone secretly evil just makin small talk
Drufle (GM)	xD i love that trope "so, uh, we're all good here right"
Romain	nope
Drufle (GM)	that's how we played one pf game at my school we were all secretly evil
Romain	pokefactory its true
Will	every single person
Romain	all the staff are secretly evil
Will	is secret evil
Romain	especially drufle
Will	that sounds great
Cici	none of them know each other are evil tho
Drufle (GM)	hey remember how i never got an avatar
Cici	so like they're all trying to screw everyone over
Will	yeah uh im gonna need something for the log for you
Drufle (GM)	oh
Cici	but all think theres one other person who's doing Evil and are freaked out about it
Drufle (GM)	i was actually talking about pokefactory but yeah i should do that too
Cici	in reality, it's literally everyone
Will	if you don't give me one i'll make something unflattering up instead like a picture of windie or something
Drufle (GM)	cici: it was more like "wait, youre evil? im evil too! Why did we just save the world, we could have been killing people!"
Cici	'okay so we know the evildoer is in this room' 'it was me all along, you fools!' 'what no it was me! i did it' 'okay is anyone in here not evil'
Romain	dio
Cici	'...no?'
Romain	it turns out
Cici	this is what happens when you lie on your okcupid profile
Romain	there are 7 types of lettuce
Drufle (GM)	"IT WAS ME DIO"
Romain	one for each sin
Will	'i was feeling good from all the good we were doing actually but never mind that'
Romain	also
Drufle (GM)	which is also the appropriate response to VLR
Cici	The Sinful Leaf
Romain	lettuce seeds are like dandelions
Will	'cancel that redempting'
Romain	they have the parachute and everything
Drufle (GM)	streak: im not sure, maybe just a picture of a pokeball? i dont know what would be a good narrator for this
Will	with a little happy face :u
Drufle (GM)	yes :U
Will	its canon
Drufle (GM)	O:B
Will	was it hard finding soundcloud music
Drufle (GM)	nope i just kept typing in "pokemon [other stuff]" and got lots of neat results
Will	we could use youtube too really, like just use those extended vids
Drufle (GM)	yeah might want to do that at some point
Cici	what kind of climate does this island have
Will	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-naZCJD8i8
Cici	so i know how to skew my variations is it coldish/warmish/etc
Drufle (GM)	it has a pretty varied climate
Cici	i mean there are variations across its surface of course but in general
Romain	literally new zealand what latitude
Will	when do we get to the lava level
Drufle (GM)	its cold in the mountains, deserty near the bottom, swampy in the northeast
Cici	so it's wet in the north
Will	wheres lava land
Cici	and dry in the south
Drufle (GM)	yeah uh, lava i know i had a lava area somewhere
Cici	hmh

Will	the ones
Cici	the ones in every zelda game
Drufle (GM)	there are no ruins silly
Will	what about the sewer level
Drufle (GM)	uh i guess under the metropolis
Cici	im thinking sewaddles instead of the big broad leaves in unova
Will	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQzTGdeAqrw
Cici	use like evergreen needles not that thin maybe but they take like. small leaves and bundle them together with silk so they have thicker armor as a result but aren't as fast or agile thatd explain why she tanked so many hits today, good lord sewaddle doesn't look buff but it sure is
Will	nickle is my favorite character
Cici	i want to marry that robot
Drufle (GM)	it is quite a great robot while also very, very obnoxious

Romain	It is also in the 1957 edition of the Betty Crocker's Cook Book for Boys and Girls with the description, “It’s better than a real candle because you can eat it.
Will	this is no good
