![]() Drufle (GM) | oi kiddo let me start the session first Session 3, start! |
![]() Cici | "This is absolutely noncanon, Giant Sky Voice." "GOD, God." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Too bad, this is now officially canon. |
![]() Cici | "Shit." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Everything's canon. Anyway, we're gonna split up the party a bit. |
![]() Cici | cannon bang Cici finger guns |
![]() Cici | pew pew |
![]() Jack | LEG CANNON |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Romaine and Will are off to look for the gym, while Cici, Jack, and Axel go looking for the prof. |
![]() Cici | im talking more to mask the fact taht theres fucking nobody here |
![]() Jack | you do most of the talking anyway |
![]() Cici | and me, brock |
![]() Jack | I have trouble getting in character for this |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'll turn the music back on. |
![]() Cici | wow that was within seconds of my playlist ending i didn't even notice at first |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You're welcome. |
![]() Cici | 11/10 alright SO |
![]() Axel | "Where should we even look?" |
![]() Jack | is there an equivalent for a knowledge check |
![]() Cici | "Jack, did he by chance say anything about what the professor was actually doing up here?" i dont think so i think we're just meant to rp it |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There is no knowledge check, no. If you think you should know it, then you know it. |
![]() Jack | ah well, I should, but I don't know what it really is |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh right, Jack was the one that answered the phone, wasn't he. |
![]() Jack | oh alright then |
![]() Cici | "I'm afraid I've never been to Tormalia before myself... I didn't think it would be quite so BIG." |
![]() Jack | "I didn't even answer the phone, Cici!" |
![]() Axel | "It really is enormous." |
![]() Cici | you totally did tho |
![]() Jack | oh bugger |
![]() Cici | lol |
![]() Drufle (GM) | :P |
![]() Jack | I read that as DIDN'T answer too eager to avoid responsibility |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That's fine. |
![]() Cici | "To be honest... I kind of just hoped that we'd bump into him on the way here." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Aidan only said that the Professor had gone off towards Tormalia. |
![]() Cici | retcon retcon retcon |
![]() Jack | oh ok |
![]() Axel | "Maybe we should check the local labs..." |
![]() Jack | "Nobody bothered to tell me where he was precisely" |
![]() Cici | "Good idea, Axel." |
![]() Axel | "We could drop off that fossil you found too, Jack!" |
![]() Jack | "great!" |
![]() Cici | "Wow, do they really have a facility that extensive up in the middle of a city like this?" |
![]() Axel | "Well, this is the largest city on the continent." |
![]() Jack | "Best place for it, I say" |
![]() Axel | "If they don't have one here, they probably don't have one anywhere." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The three science kids walk off down the busy streets of Tormalia. |
![]() Cici | "Come to think of it, I do remember hearing that ours was the first field research lab to go up..." "Maybe we can find directions somewhere." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The skyrises in the city seem brand new, probably because they are. |
![]() Axel | "Good idea, we should probably ask someone." "Excuse me! Sir!" |
![]() Cici | man axel is so competent rn are u feelin ok dude |
![]() Random Guy | "Yes? What is it?" |
![]() Axel | "Do you, uh, know where the labs are around here?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I would make a poise check, but I don't know his stats. |
![]() Jack | "I don't like asking strangers..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nevermind, his Poise is 4. So says his sheet. This is why roll20 is helpful. |
![]() Axel | rolling 2d6+4(
2
+
5
)+4
= 11
|
![]() Cici | poise, small fry |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, that's not half bad. |
![]() Random Guy | "Labs? Which one? There's, like, four or five of them around." |
![]() Axel | "Oh, well..." "The Pokemon lab?" Random Guy shrugs. |
![]() Random Guy | "Not sure if it's what you want, but there's some kinda research place just down 5th avenue that way." |
![]() Jack | you know my first instinct was to assume all of them were pokemon labs |
![]() Random Guy | "I think they do research on evolution and legendaries and whatnot." |
![]() Axel | "Thank you, sir, we'll go that way!" |
![]() Cici | yeah same lol "Thank you!" |
![]() Jack | "th-thank you" Nickle electro-chuckles at Axel's poor speech skills. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The random guy nods and keeps walking away. And no, not all labs are Pokemon labs. They might be, you know, normal science labs. |
![]() Jack | but its the pokemon world |
![]() Drufle (GM) | :P |
![]() Jack | what else is worthy of science physics? pah! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The lab he was referring to is about 5 minutes down the street to your right. |
![]() Jack | well let's mosey on down |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You approach it and see a large Pokeball logo crossed with a lightning bolt. |
![]() Axel | "Well, I guess that does look like a lab." |
![]() Jack | "Seems more like a gym to me!" |
![]() Axel | "Well, let's head inside and check it out." |
![]() Cici | sorry my sister thought she saw an ant i was called away to fight it |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You enter the lab, and it seems... unorthodox. |
![]() Cici | "Love the decor." |
![]() Jack | wild ANT appeared |
![]() Cici | "Why doesn't our lab look this good, Axel?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There's a man with frizzled hair sitting at a desk nearby, tinkering with a small device. He looks up when he hears the door open and blinks a bit. Jack marvels at all the strange and unusual devices |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "... yes?" "Do you need something?" |
![]() Jack | is this him I don't even know the man's name |
![]() Drufle (GM) | pfff No, this is not the Professor. |
![]() Jack | ok |
![]() Cici | "Good morning, sir." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Professor would recognize you, for one thing. |
![]() Jack | sorry I assumed an absent mind |
![]() Cici | "We're with the field work team, from Marina." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It's Hawthorne, isn't it? |
![]() Jack | oh yeah |
![]() Cici | "Have you by chance seen our Professor? We seem to have lost him." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh, Hawthorne's students!" "Good to meet you, I've been meaning to visit the lab." Dr. Cailan he puts down the device and walks over to shake your hands. |
![]() Jack | "p-pleasure to meet you too, sir" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "It's very nice to meet you, yes, now something about a missing Professor?" "Hawthorne is a bit of a wanderer, but it's not really like him to disappear." |
![]() Cici | "Well, all I know is that he was in this area, and he should have been back at the lab yesterday." "Have you seen him lately?" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Hm, hm, very concerning..." "No miss, I haven't seen him since he visited a few weeks ago to get some machinery." Axel frowns. |
![]() Axel | "Have you heard anything about him?" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "No, no, I haven't heard a thing from the man. Have you tried his phone?" "He usually responds quite quickly to that." Axel shakes his head. |
![]() Axel | "Aidan, his assistant, said that he wasn't answering his phone." |
![]() Jack | "did he tell you anything about where he was going?" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Well, I do believe he was planning on making a trek to the mountains to visit the high-altitude centers there." |
![]() Cici | "I'm a little concerned he might have gotten himself in over his head on something, you know? He's too methodical to just leave everyone out of the loop like this..." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Yes, yes, I agree." "This is most unlike him, I'm not quite sure what to think of this." |
![]() Cici | "And you said that he left for the mountains... weeks ago? He could be anywhere by now..." "He should have been heading back this way. If he never made it, who knows what stopped him along the way." |
![]() Jack | "Do the mountain centers have a phone connection? maybe we could try contacting someone there, and ask if they've seen him." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh yes, both Spinel and Tanzan Village have already set up phone lines." "Perhaps he figured that, while he was away on field work, he might catch up with the other scientists around Galens?" "Or, or, perhaps he's gone off to investigate all the rumors that have been going around." |
![]() Cici | "Rumors?" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh my, have you not heard them?" "Everyone's been talking about them for the past few weeks." "Sightings of the strangest things, Legendary Pokemon!" |
![]() Jack | "I have a feeling we'll be familiar with one of them" "called it..." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Someone saw Kyogre in Carnella Lake, there's a Virizion over by the Jade cliffs, there's quite a few stories!" "I don't know if I quite believe them myself, but quite a few people have been talking about them." |
![]() Cici | "That's why we were seeking the professor out. We believe we had a rather strange encounter with a Heatran." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh my, a personal encounter?!" |
![]() Jack | "We managed to fall in a tunnel dug by one" Dr. Cailan pulls out a notepad from somewhere, you're not sure where. |
![]() Cici | "Sinkholes right through Route 1. Can you imagine the destruction that thing could cause...?" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Fascinating, fascinating, that is quite a story!" Dr. Cailan starts furiously scribbling. |
![]() Cici | "And that's just one legendary pokemon. You're saying people have been seeing multiple legendaries." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "This is the first documented sighting, I believe!" "Oh yes, but nobody has pictures or evidence of the such." "I trust you kids, however." |
![]() Cici | "Even if they're not all true, I'd rather prepare for the worst." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "If you say you were attacked by Heatran, I think these rumors might indeed have something to them..." |
![]() Jack | why did none of us take the phorgrapher persona Axel grumbles at being called a kid. |
![]() Cici | we could have been todd from pokemon snap |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Well, well, I'm quite certain now!" "That must be where old Hawthorne has gone off to, he's probably investigating these rumors!" "I'm still quite concerned about him not answering his phone, however..." |
![]() Cici | "Maybe his battery died." Dr. Cailan suddenly notices the rock sticking out of Jack's backpack. Cici sighs |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Are you, perhaps, a geologist?" "Quite young for quite a profession, I say." |
![]() Jack | "um, my parents are archeologists" "so I just kinda picked up stuff from them! I found this in the heatran tunnel" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh, studying paleontology, are you?" |
![]() Jack | "no idea why it wasn't melted" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "May I have a look?" |
![]() Jack | "please do" Dr. Cailan takes the fossil from Jack and brings it to his work table. |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Ah, ah, yes, yes, quite..." |
![]() Jack | go out come back in YOU TOOK TOO LONG |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Mr. Jack, I do believe you have a Helix fossil here!" |
![]() Jack | "wow!!" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "An Omanyte, more colloquially." |
![]() Cici | "Oh, wow!" "Nice find, Jack!" Jack is secretly a devout TPPist |
![]() Cici | h a i l |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "It's quite intact too, I think..." Dr. Cailan runs off to the back room. |
![]() Jack | "could it maybe possibly be... restored?!" Dr. Cailan comes back with a distressingly large apparatus full of levers, lenses, and other things. |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "I am quite confident it can!" "I think I may require some time, however. There is quite a lot of residual stone around the fossil." |
![]() Jack | "That's okay, thank you very much for this!!" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Perhaps you should go tour the city a bit, come back later?" |
![]() Axel | "That sounds like a deal, Dr. Cailan!" |
![]() Jack | "out friends are trying to fight the gym, so we may be here for a while" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh, challenging the gym? Good luck to them, I say. They might need it!" Dr. Cailan waves off-handedly at the group, suddenly entranced by the fossil. Dr. Cailan sticks it underneath the apparatus and it begins whirring away. |
![]() Jack | dr. cailan also praises helix, I guess |
![]() Axel | "Well, we should probably leave him to it." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I rolled the helix fossil completely by chance, I assure you. |
![]() Jack | I am aware to think, I could have been a FILTHY DOMEIST |
![]() Cici | "Thank you, Doctor!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Also, you can just leave and come right back if you'd like to have fossil immediately. In true Pokemon fashion. |
![]() Cici | "We'll be back soon!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'd suggest doing a few things first, though. |
![]() Cici | maybe we should go |
![]() Jack | no I already made that joke |
![]() Drufle (GM) | :P |
![]() Cici | ~shopping~ |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Excellent idea! |
![]() Cici | "Why don't we hit the shops, see if we can trade in some of these items we've collected?" "I could stand to grab some more supplies." |
![]() Axel | "Sounds like a good idea!" |
![]() Jack | "yeah!!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The party travels out of the lab, and across part of the city to the nearby shopping center. It's quite exquisite, multiple floors! Who could possibly imagine such a luxurious sight! Not the players, clearly. |
![]() Cici | lol "Where to start..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Golurk's here, by the way. |
![]() Jack | yay |
![]() Axel | "Well, some more Pokeballs wouldn't hurt." |
![]() Cici | do they have TMs in this universe |
![]() Drufle (GM) | ... you know, I hadn't thought about it. |
![]() Jack | "I don't even know what to get" |
![]() Cici | i guess it'd be pretty difficult to make them work |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, I'm not sure if that'd really be feasible. |
![]() Cici | i don't even want moves i was just thinking like 'what do you buy at a big department store' |
![]() Romain | halo |
![]() Cici | hi golurk |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, I can list everything you can buy. If you'd like. |
![]() Cici | you're at the gym with streak we're shopping and then are gonna go meet up with you yeah sure |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, we can have him do a bit as well. Just so he isn't here all alone with nothing to do. |
![]() Romain | we're totally getting drunk right now |
![]() Jack | please list druffle |
![]() Romain | illegally |
![]() Jack | drinking candlejack's wax |
![]() Romain | with blackjack and hookers |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Pokeball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Potion, Full Heal, Revive, Evolution Item, Key Item, Hyper Potion, Ether |
![]() Romain | or as the meme goes |
![]() Drufle (GM) | As well as possibly some other random things, if you have something in mind. |
![]() Cici | which key items |
![]() Jack | keys |
![]() Drufle (GM) | All key items are here, for 5000 pokeyen a pop. |
![]() Romain | klefkeys |
![]() Cici | wow all of em huh' |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, this is technically a department store. |
![]() Cici | "Anything catch your eye, guys?" |
![]() Jack | if we get one bicycle can we all get on it at once |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Or a "Large Pokemart", as the book calls it. |
![]() Cici | It Big |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You've played Earthbound, what do you think? |
![]() Romain | Embiggened Center Of Wares |
![]() Jack | I haven't played a single second of earthbound so I shall guess yes |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh, nevermind. |
![]() Cici | lol saddest part of the game, that was |
![]() Drufle (GM) | In Earthbound you get a bicycle very early on, but you can only use it while you're just Ness. |
![]() Jack | :( |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So as soon as Paula shows up, it's rendered entirely useless. Kind of silly, because I really like the bicycle music. |
![]() Cici | "I think I might pick up some hyper potions..." "How much are these going for now?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Hyper potions are 1200 pokeyen each. Cici checks the price tag |
![]() Cici | "Yikes... maybe I'll wait." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Note that Hyper potions are technically max potions in this game. |
![]() Cici | yee |
![]() Drufle (GM) | In that they heal you to full, regardless of hp. Now, while Noven instructed me to buy an apricorn kit. |
![]() Jack | what do ethers do |
![]() Cici | where is hora we need to buy that apricorn kit |
![]() Jack | when we don't have oo |
![]() Cici | ethers restore PP |
![]() Jack | pp |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I don't think he actually has enough money to buy it himself. |
![]() Cici | players have PP remember |
![]() Jack | right |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ethers restore 1 pp. Very,very handy. |
![]() Cici | i wouldnt want to negotiate a loan wihtout hora here |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They cost 1500 pokeyen a piece. |
![]() Cici | or else id let him borrow a bit |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That's why I don't really plan on him actually buying anything right now. We might... retro buy it. Depending. |
![]() Cici | what are the other key items i was gonna get berry kit jack was getting uh... what were you getting mopp |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There is the bicycle, the itemfinder, the rod, and uh the camping set. |
![]() Cici | maybe jack was gonna get itemfinder were you the one with the 6 attention stat |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The itemfinder is by far the most useful of those four, in my opinion. The itemfinder uses Aptitude, not Attention. |
![]() Cici | oh really |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It lets you find extra treasure when you've found a treasure cache with an Attention check. |
![]() Cici | so you have to roll both...? interesting |
![]() Jack | I also have 6 aptitude |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Correct. |
![]() Cici | well that's pretty ideal for jack then unless tehre's something else you wanted |
![]() Jack | reserve all my moneys for the itemfinder |
![]() Cici | i could loan you half |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cici, the moneylender. |
![]() Cici | worf it |
![]() Romain | banker |
![]() Drufle (GM) | She'll break your legs if you don't pay back with interest. |
![]() Romain | its not just her hair thats green |
![]() Cici | i was gonna say 'help me buy the berry kit at the next town' but ok |
![]() Jack | I only havw 200 bills on me |
![]() Cici | no way we all have way more than that |
![]() Drufle (GM) | What? How on earth do you only have 200 pokeyen? |
![]() Jack | I may have not written down what we earned last time |
![]() Cici | oh man he was the one person who got no money from loot 3 you got $500 in the first session tho |
![]() Drufle (GM) | But didn't I give you quite a lot the first time? |
![]() Cici | so you have $700 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah that. |
![]() Jack | ok |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, hows about we go have a look around town? Perhaps you'll find something interesting... |
![]() Cici | alright no itemfinder i suppose |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A Pokemon, perhaps? |
![]() Jack | hmhmhm |
![]() Cici | "I guess we should save our money, for now at least." Cici sighs |
![]() Romain | where can i buy stock of Streak Co. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's meet up the party. |
![]() Romain | i have 2200 on me |
![]() Cici | "If the Professor went all the way to the mountains, who knows how long it'll take to track him down." |
![]() Axel | "We should probably see how Will and Romain are doing." |
![]() Cici | "Yeah, let's find the gym." "Maybe we'll be in time to catch the end of their matches?" |
![]() Axel | "All this is rather intimidating, anyway." |
![]() Cici | 20 minutes later |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, the scientists walk out of the Pokemart. |
![]() Cici | Team Science |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They find the gym, rather imposingly set by itself instead of stuck up against a row of apartments. It's quite a nice building, really. |
![]() Romain | im on a car |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Although it would be rather hard to tell it's a Pokemon gym without the giant badge symbol on the roof. |
![]() Cici | "I haven't been to a gym in years..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The League is quite new, not a lot of people know about the gyms yet. |
![]() Cici | "Do you think we should knock?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well Romain is right there. As he mentioned. |
![]() Cici | standing outside on a car canon |
![]() Romain | Hey we can do the Volbeatles thing on this crosswalk |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Wow, nice pun. |
![]() Cici | 12/11 |
![]() Will | "Oh, uh, hey guys!" |
![]() Romain | "What's that album called? Fury Road?" Will shrugs. |
![]() Cici | "How's it going?" |
![]() Jack | "How'd ya do?" |
![]() Romain | "The... receptionist(?) invited us inside." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You know, I'm not really sure how to answer that. |
![]() Cici | romain and will have been sitting out on the sidewalk because they knocked and nobody answered and they didnt know what to do so they've been waiting for 3 hours for an adult |
![]() Romain | "This gym specializes in Normal-types apparently." |
![]() Will | "The gym leader isn't here at the moment, I guess." |
![]() Cici | we were shopping |
![]() Jack | :( |
![]() Cici | we are horrible parents |
![]() Will | "This guy inside said the leader went off to get... groceries? I think?" |
![]() Cici | "Shame. I hope you guys haven't been waiting too long." brb |
![]() Romain | "Litwick tried to eat a hotdog on the ground." |
![]() Will | "W-well, it hasn't been too bad. It's neat to see a city!" |
![]() Cici | "At least you got to do a little sightseeing. Sorry, gang." |
![]() Will | "What have you been up to, anyway?" |
![]() Jack | "well if we're waiting on the gym leader now, can we go back to the lab?" "I've got an Omanyte waiting for me!" |
![]() Romain | "Weren't we looking for someone?" |
![]() Jack | "also the professor may be dead, we dunno" "he has gone missing!" |
![]() Will | "W-what?" |
![]() Romain | i have no idea what happened before this can i be briefed/boxered |
![]() Jack | "He was apparently travelling towards the towns in the mountains" |
![]() Axel | "We went to a local lab to find the Professor, and apparently he hasn't been seen around here." |
![]() Romain | ok... in-character. this is fine. |
![]() Axel | "The doctor said that Hawthorne might have gone up to the mountain villages to check on some weird rumors about Legendaries!" |
![]() Cici | "Apparently we aren't the only ones who've been seeing rare pokemon." |
![]() Will | "T-there are more Heatran?" |
![]() Cici | "If I know the Professor, he probably considers whatever's going on to be of the highest priority, and I agree." Cici shakes her head |
![]() Romain | "Curiouser and curiouser." |
![]() Jack | "loads of stuff, not just heatran!" |
![]() Will | "Oh, that's, that's scary." |
![]() Cici | "The doctor mentioned Kyogre and Virizion, and that was just off the top of his head." |
![]() Jack | drufle by way of knowing is this gym on a viridian city deal |
![]() Axel | "Regardless, we should probably make our way back to see the doctor." |
![]() Cici | "The incident with Heatran was interesting. But if this is happening all over the island, it's a problem, and we need to figure out why." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No, the gym leader actually is in town. |
![]() Jack | ok |
![]() Cici | the gym leader is out for groceries for the next 2 years |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They're just running some errands and Will/Romain got unlucky. So, what say we go to the lab! The party begins walking back towards the lab. |
![]() Cici | "Maybe that fossil's done by now!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Suddenly, you hear some noises from an alley to your right. rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5 rolling d6 ( 3 ) = 3 |
![]() Romain | "I hear some noises from an alley to your right... my right? left?" |
![]() Cici | "I've never really understood that process... I mean, as far as I know, it should be nearly instantaneous..." |
![]() Jack | 5 oscars the grouch |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling d6(
1
)
= 1
|
![]() Romain | "Just kidding I have no idea." |
![]() Cici | "Then again, I'm no paleontologist..." Cici is completely oblivious |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, that's rather appropriate I suppose. Romain: Attention Check: 15 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Lemme go get some pics quick. Actually, quick question. |
![]() Romain | im single |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cici, are you the only one going for Poison types? |
![]() Romain | oh |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I sort of think Streak mentioned that at some point. |
![]() Romain | i can catch gastly+ |
![]() Drufle (GM) | If he is going for Poison as well, then I might want to catch this for him. Man, I don't even remember what types people want. |
![]() Cici | i dont remember if streak is i sure am or maybe not! we will see~~~~~~~ gastly plus super gastly |
![]() Cici | you space out for a second and everyone dies story of my life |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Actually you know what, I think he did say he wanted this particular type. Or maybe that was Mopp, I'm having trouble remembering. |
![]() Cici | we'll figure it out after we beat them up |
![]() Romain | oh nooo its spiderman |
![]() Jack | I want Ice and Rock |
![]() Romain | three of them |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, then it was Streak that wanted Dark/Fighting types. |
![]() Cici | i feel like he would pick up croagunk yeah |
![]() Romain | do we not have dark alley pics |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I knew someone had told me they were taking those types. |
![]() Jack | the daring young frogs on the flying trapeze |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I can get one quick, if you'd like. |
![]() Romain | battling in public feels weird is all |
![]() Cici | yeah lets switch backgrounds |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Mmk, just a moment. |
![]() Cici | "Oh? Wild pokemon?" "Looks like they're out for a fight..." is it actually only the 3 i might sit out on this battle then i have like no means of hurting a poison type very well one day we will fight a pokemon that i dont have a type disadvantage to |

![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh, well. Sorry. I was a little busy. :P |
![]() Cici | wow thats gorg but that's a night scene and this is daytime so this is fine romain is cornered by frogs the frogs want his money |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So, how to do this. Well, I think this is fairly obvious. |
![]() Romain | "I don't ave your money!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | We might as well have the three people here fight. |
![]() Cici | are you gonna- dammit |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So I'm not fighting myself. |
![]() Cici | alright this won't be pretty but sure |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, I can use Will instead. If you'd like. |
![]() Cici | yeah if will wants one have him rumble |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, let's do it! |
![]() Romain | i can switch out ralts hecka |
![]() Cici | i might catch one... hmhmhm mopp do you have any desire to fight frogs |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, I'm certainly going to try and have Streak catch one. |
![]() Jack | I don't have much of a choice in the matter |
![]() Cici | sure you do i could fight it instead |
![]() Jack | you will die to poison, I will die to fightng |
![]() Cici | i definitely wont try to catch if i didnt fight them but if i do fight htem i might |
![]() Jack | thus I must be chivalrous and take the hits |
![]() Cici | lol 13 year old savior |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, would you like to at least not fight the big guy? |
![]() Jack | yes |
![]() Cici | let's put ralts on the toxicroak mebbe so am i not fighting then |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I have Will, and Romain is definitely a good choice here. |
![]() Jack | you are as much a part of this fight as us... just on the sides. |
![]() Cici | well okay then "Let's sit this one out, Axel?" |
![]() Jack | have clara make grass pompoms |
![]() Romain | "I'll take on this spiky-headed brute!" |
![]() Will | "I'll, uh, Zoops will take this one out!" |
![]() Cici | she would but the city is too gross and she refuses to leave her pokeball |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, speeds time! |
![]() Romain | 4 as per usual |
![]() Jack | 4 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Man, why is everyone so slow. Well, looks like all the enemies are outspeeding you. |
![]() Jack | you asked this same statement last time |
![]() Romain | this is why.. individual stats :} |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Shush. Maybe later. Not now. |
![]() Romain | Soonâ„¢ |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Toxicroak has 5 speed, and thus I go first! |
![]() Romain | "That tongue just screams untrustworthy." Cici flips through her email |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Toxicroak attempts Poison Sting! |
![]() Jack | "I don't like the way they grin" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 3d6k2+6(
3
+
2
+
1
)+6
= 11
|
![]() Romain | wheres our pokeman |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oof. Oh, sorry. |
![]() Jack | pamf |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So yeah, I don't hit. What about this Croagunk? |
![]() Romain | shield us with your bodies, small baby animals |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's see if a Karate Chop does anything! rolling 3d6k2+6 ( 2 + 4 + 1 )+6 = 12 No! It does not! |
![]() Romain | hecka |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, one more Karate Chop from our third friend. rolling 3d6k2+6 ( 5 + 2 + 3 )+6 = 14 That hits! Good thing Streak has his info in his notes. 3 damage to poor Zoops! |
![]() Cici | jebus attack focus eh |
![]() Drufle (GM) | He... doesn't have Zoops hp here. It's 6 though. I can see that from process of elimination. Alright, left to right. Romain! |
![]() Romain | "I apologize that your debut battle is in a dingy alley, Mary." "Can you use a psychic attack? With your mind?" Bloody Mary nods |
![]() Bloody Mary | Bloody Mary used Confusion! |
| Roll: 16 vs. 13
that ac is wrong probably
i guesssed 4? | |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Against SPATK? Yes, that's correct. |
![]() Cici | it'll hit anyway ouchies |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A 16 hits anything. That isn't boosted. |
![]() Cici | what does a quad weakness get you advantage? |
![]() Bloody Mary | ralts has high stat special attack |
![]() Drufle (GM) | +1 damage and an advantage. |
![]() Cici | and the +1 damage so that's uh |
![]() Drufle (GM) | 4, at the least. |
![]() Cici | 4 damage? with a double advantage because stab |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Correct. |
![]() Cici | ouchies |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Double advantage does nothing though, as we've seen. |
![]() Bloody Mary | do i add another d6 |
![]() Cici | rip toxicroak |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No. |
![]() Bloody Mary | lol |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The poor Toxicroak reels horribly from the shockwave, barely holding on. |
![]() Cici | it means that it will be very hard for him to lower your stats |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Jack, you're up. Toxicroak almost got one-shotted! Let's see if you can do the same. |
![]() Jack | pfft Icy wind then |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Go ahead, roll. Both of my defenses are a measly 13. |
![]() Jack | rolling 2d6k2+4(
6
+
2
)+4
= 12
|
![]() Cici | D: |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, that's unfortunate. |
![]() Jack | oh wait it's 3d6 isn't it |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Correct. Roll another. Just 1d6. |
![]() Jack | rolling 1d6(
2
)
= 2
|
![]() Cici | ... |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That's also unfortunate. Zoops' turn, I suppose. |
![]() Will | "Zoop, uh, try a Double slap!" rolling 2d6+6 ( 3 + 2 )+6 = 11 rolling 2d6+6 ( 6 + 2 )+6 = 14 Alright, one of those hit. And it does 2 whole damage. |
![]() Cici | wowie |
![]() Will | The Croagunk is whacked across the face, and stumbles a bit. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Says the GM. |
![]() Romain | offended |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Toxicroak time! |
![]() Romain | "Keep your guard up, Mary!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Toxicroak builds up its chest, and releases a Sludge Wave! |
![]() Romain | how disgusting |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 3d6k2+6(
3
+
2
+
2
)+6
= 11
|
![]() Romain | 'How disgusting." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, nuts. That hits absolutely nobody. |
![]() Romain | "Good job!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Croagunk the first decides on a Poison Sting! rolling 3d6k2+6 ( 3 + 6 + 4 )+6 = 16 Finally, a hit. Brunt takes 1 damage and is now poisoned! Er, sorry wait. Poison on high. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
5
)
= 5
Brunt is poisoned! |
![]() Romain | also, high! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep. Second Croagunk! He tries another Karate Chop! rolling 3d6k2+6 ( 2 + 1 + 5 )+6 = 13 And that misses. I am not having a good day. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Romain? |
![]() Romain | meme "Mary, do the thing!" Bloody Mary does the thing |
![]() Bloody Mary | Bloody Mary used Confusion! |
| Roll: 14 vs. 13
close one
| |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nuts. Well, Toxicroak is definitely gone. Brunt, you should have a go. |
![]() Bloody Mary | "I'm so proud of this baby." oops |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nice. |
![]() Bloody Mary | said Ralts telepathically |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Jack, you're up. |
![]() Romain | this is canon now |
![]() Jack | ok |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Whallop away! |
![]() Jack | Ice fang rolling 3d6+6 ( 4 + 1 + 5 )+6 = 16 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nice! That hits! |
![]() Jack | no it doesn't |
![]() Drufle (GM) | ... how? |
![]() Jack | 6+4+1 = 11 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You keep the highest two, friend. |
![]() Jack | I don't have advantage fighting resists ice doesn't it? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nope. Trust me, I checked. I was wondering the same thing. Fighting resists Dark, Bug, and Fighting. |
![]() Romain | ???? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Sorry, Rock. |
![]() Jack | well I certainly don't have ADvantage at least |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Not Fighting. |
![]() Romain | ok |
![]() Cici | advantage is from stab yes you do |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You have an advantage from stab! |
![]() Jack | ok |
![]() Cici | that's a big hit |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You hit hard. |
![]() Romain | hecka |
![]() Jack | I will concede |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And don't you have atk focus? |
![]() Jack | no def |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Right, sorry. Well that's still 2 damage. |
![]() Jack | yay |
![]() Cici | strong |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Croagunk ain't looking good. |
![]() Romain | toxicroak is blasting off again |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Zoops turn! Let's try us a water gun. |
![]() Jack | I wouldn't have started with icy wind if I knew |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 3d6k2+5(
3
+
2
+
2
)+5
= 10
|
![]() Jack | thought I should freeze them first |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Dangit. Croagunk's turn to go. Acid! rolling 3d6k2+6 ( 1 + 4 + 1 )+6 = 11 Or, you know, not. Come on Croagunk2, Low Kick! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 3d6k2+6(
1

1
+

)+6
= 10
All of my pokemon suck. |
![]() Jack | ahahaha |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Brunt, get rid of that Croagunk please. |
![]() Jack | what's the poison dmg |
![]() Drufle (GM) | 1 Poison does 1 damage every turn, but can't KO you. Because otherwise it would be way op. |
![]() Jack | rolling 3d6k2+6(
2
+
6
+
3
)+6
= 15
smak |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Geez. Off goes the Croagunk! Let's see if Zoops can finish this. |
![]() Jack | "yay!!" |
![]() Romain | blasted the heck of |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Double slap! rolling 2d6+6 ( 1 + 3 )+6 = 10 rolling 2d6+6 ( 2 + 4 )+6 = 12 He cannot. Come on Zoops, you're better than this. Croagunk uses Karate chop! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 3d6k2+6(
2

3
+
1
)+6
= 11
grgrgrgghkaga Zoops uses Double slap! rolling 2d6+6 ( 6 + 3 )+6 = 15 rolling 2d6+6 ( 1 + 4 )+6 = 11 Finally, a hit. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Croagunk is down! |
![]() Jack | that was a trash fight |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Har har, alley jokes. Alright, looks like Will's gonna go for a catch. |
![]() Jack | do we even want such inaccurate bozos |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Anyone else? |
![]() Romain | no trubbish tho |
![]() Jack | I am fine thanku |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, what's Will's Aptitude... 5, it seems. Now what's the DC on a Croagunk. 30, that's not too bad. Let's see how he does! |
![]() Romain | "Hey Ralts. Do you want to make friends with them?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 2d6+25(
2
+
5
)+25
= 32
Tada! |
![]() Will | "I got this one, guys!" Bloody Mary telepathically transmits a Hell No Will tosses a Pokeball at a Croagunk, and the ball settles quickly. |
![]() Romain | "That's mean." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And so, we have another friend. |
![]() Jack | hooary |
![]() Drufle (GM) | However, I believe we have one more friend to get! |
![]() Jack | Blindy the Frog "Let's get out of this stiny alley" |
![]() Will | "Yeah... good idea." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | What a collection of mooks. |
![]() Romain | froge |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The party travels back to the lab they were at earlier. |
![]() Romain | how many exp do we get |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh, 2. |
![]() Romain | 2 for battles right |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And we need to do a treasure/pokecache check. Who has the good Attention? |
![]() Romain | one mor ebattle for me and i think a couple of us level up! Attention Check: 12 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I think some of you do, yes. |
![]() Cici | no exp for me or axel dang |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Hm... Well, here's the thing. |
![]() Cici | ill make it all up with pokedex entries cackles |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm planning on making battles smaller like that from now on. For time's sake. |
![]() Cici | works for me |
![]() Romain | For fuck's sake. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Should we only give exp to those who participate? |
![]() Cici | yeah thatd make the most sense |
![]() Romain | we can only give so many fucks |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Fair enough. |
![]() Romain | limited supply |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, Will levels up! |
![]() Cici | i feel bad about catching pokemon in the big family groups tbh |
![]() Romain | powerful homestuck |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Shame he isn't here to do anything about it. |
![]() Cici | are we going with 10 per level then |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yes. Feels like a better progression this way. |
![]() Cici | jack and will have the attention scores they should make checks |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'll have Will do a check then. rolling 2d6+6 ( 3 + 1 )+6 = 10 ... |
![]() Cici | we found: garbage |
![]() Jack | rolling 2d6+6(
4
+
5
)+6
= 15
|
![]() Romain | a hobo |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, here's the thing. |
![]() Jack | one man's trash is another man's treasure...? |
![]() Cici | thing.jpg |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Jack has finally found a Pokemon sanctuary! |
| Horanoven A. | HELLLOOOOOOOOO!!!! |
![]() Cici | really |
![]() Jack | where |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Thank the lord, I thought that would never happen. |
![]() Cici | are you kidding me hi hora |
![]() Romain | horahorahora |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh look, our fourth friend is here. |
![]() Cici | nice timing holy shit |
| Horanoven A. | Newmons |
![]() Romain | a sewer sanctuary |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Not only did Jack find a sanctuary. |
| Horanoven A. | I am a master of timing |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It has 4 separate species in it! |
| Horanoven A. | ooooh? |
![]() Jack | "Hey guys look, I found some kind of magical portal to a paradise land!" |
![]() Romain | shit holy! |
![]() Cici | tldr: Team Science went to a lab and learned that the professor was here weeks ago, and he went off to the mountains to check out rumors about legendaries will and romain sat outside a locked gym for hours waaiting for us |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Also, Will levelled up. |
![]() Romain | we fought froges |
![]() Cici | then we fought frogs |
| Horanoven A. | so the proff just left? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nobody's quite sure! |
![]() Romain | he ded |
![]() Cici | no he was last seen here like 2 weeks ago it's been ages |
| Horanoven A. | of course |
![]() Cici | he's probably dead. |
| Horanoven A. | well |
![]() Jack | most liktely eaten by groudon |
| Horanoven A. | this is pokemon |
![]() Romain | feasted upon by vultures |
![]() Cici | i am the new professor |
| Horanoven A. | nobody dies in pokemon |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So... what to do about this Sanctuary. |
![]() Cici | by rite of conquest |
![]() Jack | *mandibuzz |
![]() Cici | how do sanctuaries work |
![]() Jack | plant our flag |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm meant to populate it with appropriately rare Pokemon. |
![]() Cici | i think i get bonuses to catch here??? gimme somethin good |
| Horanoven A. | did you guys get anything from it? |
![]() Romain | "What did you find, Jack?" |
| Horanoven A. | the frogs? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Streak caught a Croagunk! |
![]() Cici | we just rolled treasure and it's a sanctuary |
![]() Romain | scenery change? |
| Horanoven A. | whats in it? |
![]() Romain | what the hell is a pokemon sanctuary btw |
![]() Jack | urban friend area |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, explanation time. |
![]() Axel | yes please |
![]() Cici | romain, will, and jack all got 2 xp from that fight btw but you and i didn't participate |
![]() Axel | I didn't? |
![]() Cici | so no xp for us only 3 of em |
![]() Axel | aww... I is sad |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A Pokemon Sanctuary is a small, set-off area from the biome. |
![]() Cici | now that you're here tho we can pool our money for an apricorn kit which is cool |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It is usually full of fancy Pokemon types! |
![]() Axel | oh yes Apricorn kit |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ones not normally seen in the wild. |
![]() Axel | Scarmory? |
![]() Romain | so what kind of sanctuary we talking about in a city |
![]() Cici | so we found like a hole into an abandoned building or something |
![]() Romain | i imagine its like that spot in castelia city |
![]() Cici | maybe the croagunk were door guards |
![]() Axel | abandoned city makes sense |
![]() Romain | small garden |
![]() Jack | Diagon Alley |
![]() Cici | Wild Asbestos Appeared |
![]() Axel | ech |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, this is probably like An abandoned building or something. |
![]() Axel | ye olde mansion |
![]() Cici | "Where are we..." |
![]() Jack | a vacant lot |
![]() Axel | are we going to look for mons here? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Odd to find an abandoned building in a city that's, like, only a decade or so old. Well, let me think. |
![]() Axel | or can we not because of previous encounter maybe its ancient ruins from before |
![]() Romain | http://www.wallcoo.net/human/Urban_Ruins_02_1920x1200/wallpapers/1680x1050/Wallcoo_com_Urban_Ruins_and_Abandoned_buildings_65500db28.jpg |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I gotta go see if you have any wishlist Pokemon that would fit here. |
![]() Romain | does this fit |
![]() Axel | I like it |
![]() Jack | I would not mind trubbish really they're in the mineral egg group |
![]() Axel | I just want another mon |
![]() Cici | oooh |
![]() Romain | crave that trash mineral |
![]() Cici | i get an advantage on ALL capture checks in this area |
![]() Axel | cool |
![]() Cici | foongus, maybe |
![]() Axel | tada |
![]() Cici | gorgeous |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Just a moment, I'm gonna set things up. |
![]() Axel | "Huh, this place seems quite overgrown" |
![]() Cici | "I think this might be a pokemon nest..." |
![]() Axel | "How long has this been here?" |
![]() Cici | "Looks like several different species, actually." |
![]() Axel | Blackout!? |
![]() Cici | "Let me see if I can figure out these footprints..." |
![]() Romain | buried underground |
![]() Jack | "I'd think that pokemon would make any building their own in a short time" |
![]() Cici | is immediately jumped while staring at the ground |
![]() Jack | "if they wanted" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There, more appropriate music. |
![]() Axel | ooh, you had music Candle Jack is loving this dilapidated structure |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Wow, this is really good music. |
![]() Axel | you chose wisely |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I had only listened to the first few seconds. |
![]() Cici | yeah whats this a remix of the uh dragonspire tower theme? |
![]() Axel | give it to streak for FFIIIDPE |
![]() Drufle (GM) | This is uh |
![]() Axel | its fitting |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The abandoned ship theme. But a remix. |
![]() Cici | oh right anyways Axel peaks around a doorway |
![]() Jack | Romain stop being possessed right this instant |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, looks like Axel has quite a number of possible wishlist pokemon here. |
![]() Axel | oh sweet :D Cici holds still for a second, then motions for everyone else to stop moving |
![]() Cici | shhh |
![]() Axel | should I roll or something? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Actually, all of you do except Streak. But that's only because Streak has all of one Pokemon on his list. |
![]() Axel | He already got one |
![]() Cici | let's not have them all attack at once maybe |
![]() Jack | a man of simple wants |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, uh. |
![]() Cici | maybe we can sneak up on them??? |
![]() Candle Jack | "Does anyone sense anything?" fuck |
![]() Axel | also, croagunk isn't under Streaks pokemon |
![]() Cici | fuck says the candle |
![]() Romain | "Does anyone sense anything?" |
![]() Axel | "Sense what?" |
![]() Cici | "Shhh!!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Streak was planning on taking Fighting/Dark. |
![]() Nickle | Summon me back in |
![]() Romain | ok lets roll stealth |
![]() Nickle | I want to FIIIGHT Romain: Poise Check: 14 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The book doesn't describe sanctuaries all that well. I had actually assumed that no fighting would be done. |
![]() Axel | oh? |
![]() Romain | really |
![]() Axel | we just get one? that'd be cool |
![]() Jack | do we have to be diplomatic |
![]() Axel | should I make a flashlight? |
![]() Cici | do a judgement call i guess |
![]() Jack | persuade |
![]() Cici | make the pokemon appear and have us rp it out |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You still have to catch them of course. |
![]() Romain | bribe them with gifts and promises of fame and prestige |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm not going to make all non-battle Pokemon as easy as Ralts. Victor sniffs the ground excitedly |
![]() Drufle (GM) | But no fight required. |
![]() Victor | "Scree!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Mostly for time's sake. |
![]() Axel | Droof, should I make a flashlight to look around? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alrighty, this is how we'll do it. Sure! |
![]() Axel | okay |
![]() Drufle (GM) | All four of you, roll a uh. |
![]() Axel | lets see if I remember how to do this rolling 2d6 + 6 ( 4 + 1 )+6 = 11 welp |
![]() Romain | vhat |
![]() Axel | I failed to make a flashlight |

![]() Jack | bwap |
![]() Cici | "Alright, hold on..." |
![]() Axel | Reveal thy secrets Cici whispers excitedly Nickle hovers over Cici |
![]() Romain | "I hope we don't find ghosts.. Like real ghosts and not Ghost Pokemon ghosts." |
![]() Cici | "I had Victor here give me a hand, and it looks like we've got 4 different species of pokemon living in this building." "4 entirely different species! Isn't that amazing?" |
![]() Axel | "Four?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Rotom, Roggenrola, Klefki, and Trubbish! |
![]() Axel | I c |
![]() Romain | shit! holy! |
![]() Axel | Rotom and Klefki, here I come |
![]() Jack | "oh wow" |
![]() Axel | Roggenrola too, why not |
![]() Cici | "The most obvious one is the odor. That's definitely Trubbish." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, they are quite pointedly chosen for each of the four of you. |
![]() Axel | "What odor?" |
![]() Jack | whose is whose |
![]() Romain | "Uh. Nice smell." |
![]() Cici | "I think these little smears on the walls are from Rotom..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Romain/Jack/Axel/Cici |
![]() Axel | I saw three that fall under my domain |
![]() Cici | jack wanted trubbish, not me |
![]() Jack | kk |
![]() Drufle (GM) | True, but I needed something for you. Not a lot of bug/grass types around here. |
![]() Cici | "These footprints here? Roggenrola, believe it or not." |
![]() Romain | gunna catch that rotom |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I decided to pick a poison type. |
![]() Jack | we could just trade afterwards, couldn't we? |
![]() Cici | "I'm almost positive, although I'm not sure how they got out here." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Of course you can trade. |
![]() Jack | :) |
![]() Romain | then they level up faster Axel wanders through the doorway, looking around |
![]() Romain | clearly |
![]() Cici | "And I think these little scratches are from a Klefki's keys, although they're very faint." |
![]() Romain | "Do we split up, gang?" |
![]() Cici | "I wonder how they all cohabitate..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It'll just take me a few years to get these pics, do some rp'ing! |
![]() Jack | "D-do they jjust scratch at the walls at night for kicks?" Jack has nightmares Nickle revs up |
![]() Romain | "Sounds like a pokemon gang." |
![]() Cici | "No, they're extremely faint. Looks as though their keys leave scratches on these counterparts when they lay down. Most likely while they're sleeping." |
![]() Jack | "oh, okay then" |
![]() Cici | "Do Klefki float while sleeping? I've never thought about it before..." |
![]() Romain | "Klefki unlocks doors, Roggenrola listens in. Rotom hacks electronics. Trubbish stores the goods." |
![]() Axel | are klefki hard to catch? |
![]() Jack | "wouldn't anything get tired after a while?" |
![]() Cici | "Whatever the case, I'd guess the Roggenrola stick to the lower floors." Axel trips through the doorway |
![]() Cici | "Trubbish are scavengers, they're probably all over the place." |
![]() Axel | "ooomfff...too dark" |
![]() Jack | "poor things can't manage people stairs, ehe" |
![]() Cici | "Klefki are much the same way." |
![]() Romain | "How many of them are in here. I hope we don't get jumped." |
![]() Cici | "The Rotom could be hard to spot in here, especially if it doesn't want to be found. Be careful around electronics." |
![]() Romain | anyway what do |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm still getting the pics! Just a moment. |
![]() Axel | while on the ground "Some of these rooms are dark. We may need a light" |
![]() Cici | "I'd say the largest concentration here is of Trubbish, but it's difficult to say precisely how many given how... pungent... just a single one can be." "Maybe Candle Jack can help us out in that department, Axel." |
![]() Romain | "Maybe I can use my PokeNav as a makeshift ghost detector..." |
![]() Axel | "Ah, right, Candle Jack" |
![]() Romain | "Hmm?" |
![]() Axel | oh snap |
![]() Jack | "they're here!!" Nickle looks around, noticing the newcommers |
![]() Romain | "Careful. Jack might set this whole building ablaze." |
![]() Cici | shh hes organizing |
![]() Axel | "What? Where!? There?" |
![]() Cici | i dont think they're actually all here |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cici's got the idea. |
![]() Axel | "Aaaahg...Now I can smell them. Ech, Ech ech ech" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A few Trubbish are playing in a corner, tossing pieces of paper between them. |
![]() Jack | "they're SOO CUTE" |
![]() Cici | whispering excitedly "Look over there, guys!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A duo of Roggenrola are tumbling about the floor, doing sweet jumps yo off of mounds of moss. |
![]() Romain | "I feel a disturbance." |
![]() Axel | "Oh, there they are" "I see Roggenrolla and Trubbish" |
![]() Cici | im gonna assume we were wandering around during this time |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A particularly mischievous Rotom is messing with a washing machine in a corner. |
![]() Cici | and not just standing in one room and didn't see them until just now |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You hear the distinctive jingling of a Klefki nearby, picking things off the ground. Yes, you were wandering around. |
![]() Romain | i literally cant catch a rotom or a klefki |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They didn't literally just suddenly appear. Nickle pulls Axel up |
![]() Cici | "Now everyone, let's remember that this is their home, and we should be respectful above everything else." "So don't go breaking anything." |
![]() Axel | "Right, right. No breaking" |
![]() Romain | tfw waste an ultra ball on the big sord |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ooh, Rotom is 44. That's a tough one. |
![]() Cici | they phased in from the Dark World |
![]() Axel | who's got an ultra? |
![]() Cici | i do i also have really good bonuses here |
![]() Axel | give it to Romain |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Remember, you did go shopping earlier! |
![]() Axel | or just catch it yourself |
![]() Romain | "They look... strong." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can... retroactively have bought a few things. |
![]() Romain | "Can Poke Balls handles these?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | If you'd like. |
![]() Axel | YOU guys went shopping |
![]() Romain | i didnt!! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | People share! |
![]() Cici | "I've saved up some pokeballs, so if anyone has requests, I'm perfectly willing to help." Cici starts guiding everyone around like a teacher on a field trip |
![]() Romain | "to the others You wenr shopping right? can I buy like an Ultra ball from any of you." awks |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Holy shit. Klefki is a 47. I was not even aware of that, that's scary. |
![]() Axel | UGH!!! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Still, pretty easy with an ultra ball. |
![]() Axel | I dun have one |
![]() Cici | can i retroactively have bought a second ultra ball |
![]() Axel | need mor balls |
![]() Cici | if axel would have wanted one i would have lent him the money |
![]() Axel | I swear if I fail to catch this |
![]() Cici | actually i probably would have just given him mine and then bought one for myself |
![]() Axel | we still need to buy Apricorn kit |
![]() Cici | lol |
![]() Romain | "I have... 2,200 in my account." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ultra balls are 1200 each. And I just said earlier that you can retroactively buy things! |
![]() Cici | okay missed that |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Trubbish is a 33 by the way. |
![]() Axel | I want the Apricorn kit but I may not be able to get it after the shopping |
![]() Cici | "We sold off all the treasures we found earlier, and divided up all the shares." |
![]() Jack | we'll have to wait for a bigger pay day then hora |
![]() Cici | "I picked up a spare ultra ball, by the way, if anyone's interested." |
![]() Jack | key items are 5000 a pop |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Do you have the cash? I don't think you do. Ooh, Roggenrola is a measly 28. |
![]() Romain | to Cici "Can I?..." |
![]() Axel | "I may require an ultraball myselt" |
![]() Romain | "That poltergeist beckons to me." |
![]() Cici | "Certainly. Want help?" i have a capture bonus here if anyone thinks they need it |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh, wait. Axel looks at the now staring Klefki |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cici: remember to half the price of all balls. Because Researcher. |
![]() Cici | yep |
![]() Axel | "How long has that been looking at me?" |
![]() Cici | i get discounts ;) |
![]() Romain | do i pay her 600 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And yes, you get an advantage on captures here! |
![]() Axel | yes, capture everything for us |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Very, very lucky. |
![]() Romain | i dont know whats going on Cici brushes him off |
![]() Axel | Cici is awesome, thats all you need to know |
![]() Cici | "Don't worry about it. All I ask for in return is a chance to study it after you've caught it!" |
![]() Axel | "Done deal" |
![]() Cici | im op af |
![]() Romain | are you gonna roll or |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, this is really what you're made for! |
![]() Romain | also do i buy it or do you give it |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Capturing rare Pokemon! |
![]() Axel | let Cici roll Jack shuffles over to the roggenrolla |
![]() Cici | i'm giving it |
![]() Axel | who's first? |
![]() Romain | "Thank you." |
![]() Jack | "hey guys, you got room for one more to play?" |
![]() Axel | the hard ones, or the easy ones? |
![]() Cici | "Shall I give it a shot, then?" Cici approaches the Rotom |
![]() Axel | Rotom, the big one Brunt tried to join in with the rolling |
![]() Cici | "Why, hello there." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, that Rotom seems awfully feisty. Let's deal with that one first! |
![]() Romain | heck of Axel watches from behind Cici |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Roggenrola suddenly notice the person watching them. |
![]() Cici | "That's a lovely device you've got there... but why don't you take a look at this?" Cici casually pulls out the ultra ball |
![]() Axel | *The Klefki continues to stare at me |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Rotom buzzes away from the washing machine, zipping around the ball. |
![]() Axel | Pokeball Rotom, new forme |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It seems curious, certainly. |
![]() Cici | "Go on, give it a try." |
![]() Axel | Rotom Ball Cici gently tosses the ball to the Rotom |
![]() Romain | R O T O R B |
![]() Cici | rolling 3d6k2 + 6 + 40(

)+6+40
= 53
|
![]() Axel | wow |
![]() Cici | did i do that right |
![]() Drufle (GM) | hooooo sheet That Rotom is caught so hard. |
![]() Axel | all hail our new overlords |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Poor thing didn't stand a chance. |
![]() Cici | "There." Cici smiles |
![]() Romain | "!! :O" |
![]() Cici | "Here you go, Romain." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Rotom zips quickly into the ball, and the ball clicks. Romain does that face with the :O mouth with sparkly eyes. Axel applauds softly |
![]() Cici | "Why don't you let it out? It's probably a bit confused." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You know, it hadn't really occurred to me how ridiculous an advantage on capture rolls is. I love it. |
![]() Cici | i had a 46 to begin with i mean there was no way to fail |
![]() Axel | its the hero we all needed |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, really. Ultra ball op. |
![]() Cici | ultra balls are so much stronger than pokeballs |
![]() Romain | "You make it look so effortless!" |
![]() Axel | think of when we can turn Ultras into other kinds |
![]() Victor | meanwhile victor's been playing catch with the trubbish for 10 minutes he is the ball. he loves it |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I've added Rotom to Romain's list. Nickle observes Victor |
![]() Cici | "Well, an important part of my research is learning how to bond properly with pokemon." "If you approach a pokemon as a friend and ally, rather than as a potential victim, it tends to work out a bit better, in my experience." |
![]() Axel | I really need a more active mon |
![]() Romain | i dont see it |
![]() Axel | Axel and Nickle are too tame |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh, sorry. |
![]() Romain | "So cool." |
![]() Cici | "Well, then!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Forgot to add permissions. |
![]() Cici | "Anyone else?" |
![]() Romain | never forget the persimmons |
![]() Cici | mmm |
![]() Axel | "Uhh" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Fixed. Axel looks at the staring Klefki |
![]() Axel | "Help?" |
![]() Cici | "Axel, how long have you been..." "Never mind." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Klefki jingles its way closer to you, and picks up a small bronze key on the ground. |
![]() Axel | "I don't know what they want" |
![]() Cici | "This isn't quite what I meant by bonding, but it certainly seems to... uh... like you? I think." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It tosses the key playfully in your direction. Axel catches and fumbles, but manages to hold onto it |
![]() Cici | "Aw, look, it wants to play catch." |
![]() Axel | "Uhh, okay" Axel tosses it gently back |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Klefki catches the key on its ring, and clacks the keys together happily. Cici ;-; |
![]() Axel | I'm going to need some fairy knowledge sometime |
![]() Cici | "My goodness it is PRECIOUS." Axel grins slightly |
![]() Axel | "Er, yeah" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm getting a bit emotional from this scene. |
![]() Cici | "Why don't you ask it to come with us, Axel?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | My, the feelings. Mostly the music though. |
![]() Axel | Klefki is too adorable |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Best choice I ever made. |
![]() Cici | your whole life |
![]() Axel | the music is pretty awesome, yes |
![]() Cici | building up to this |
![]() Axel | I want this music in my life |
![]() Cici | small key child playing catch with the beardy man |
![]() Axel | the beardiest of scientists |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I feel like I'm watching Pokemon Con-Air |
![]() Brunt | are the trubbish the toy rabbbits |
![]() Cici | AND TELLL ME NOW |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They sure are. So, how about that capture? |
![]() Cici | [S] Axel: Reunite with your loving Klefki, and also Nickle |
![]() Axel | how should we go about this? XD |
![]() Cici | softly "Do you have an ultra ball?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | What a flash that would be. |
![]() Axel | softly back "Er...no" |
![]() Romain | I'm going to name thsi rotom after the two bravest men I know: John Cena |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, there's no chance of catching Klefki with a Pokeball. Heck, there's no chance with a Great Ball I think. |
![]() Cici | "Well, this is my last one..." |
![]() Axel | very high catch rate |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Actually, there is with a Great ball. Very, very low chance though. |
![]() Cici | 47? yeah i could make that catch you'd have to get an 11 on 3d6 with advantage that's not bad |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep. |
![]() Cici | probably like 50% id guess |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Still though. |
![]() Axel | "I should be able to pay you back" Cici tut-tuts |
![]() Cici | "Study time is all I want!" Cici hands Axel the ultra ball |
![]() Cici | "Go for it!" |
![]() Axel | "Me? Um, okay?" roll 2d6 + 6 + 40? |
![]() Cici | you guys dont need help on the ultra ball ones actually they're 100% |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep! |
![]() Axel | oh, cool |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cici is right. It's literally impossible to fail. |
![]() Axel | rolling 2d6 + 6 + 40(

|
![]() Cici | ultra balls are amazingly strong |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Tada! |
![]() Cici | noice |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You only failed with the Aegislash because that was, what, a 52? |
![]() Axel | Same roll as Cici's I think also yes that happened Cici slides casually over to Jack Axel tosses the ball gently to Klefki |
![]() Cici | "See anything you like?" i love how zoop is just like happily staring at the corner away from everyone else 2 cool |
![]() Axel | Zoop's seen some stuff |
![]() Jack | "well Brunt seems to be having fun with them. I guess what he needed was friends who were inorganic too." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | One moment, please. |
![]() Axel | I gotta Klefki |
![]() Cici | "You thinking of bringing a new friend along with you, eh?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Right! |
![]() Cici | "Or maybe two?" "They all seem to get along well..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Klefki jingles happily, and pops into the ball. |
![]() Jack | am I allowed two? |
![]() Axel | I can train Roggenrolla as well |
![]() Drufle (GM) | ... yes, technically. |
![]() Jack | oah |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Not sure why you'd want two, but you can catch as many as you'd like. |
![]() Axel | I can have the other one I have my own balls |
![]() Cici | "I'd hate to split them up, you know?" |
![]() Jack | I have six pokerballs on me |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Roggenrola are happily playing with Brunt, clinking off of him. |
![]() Axel | You just need to ask Axel |
![]() Cici | this was an elaborate buildup to me catching all 3 trubbish spoiler alert |
![]() Jack | "yeah, that'd be best I think" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Did the music stop for anyone else? |
![]() Cici | nope |
![]() Axel | Noo |
![]() Romain | nop |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Hm. Weird. |
![]() Axel | I need to name the Klefki |
![]() Romain | its rotom |
![]() Laughingstock | hi |
![]() Jack | "hey guys, how'd you both like to come with us? I won't split you up I promise" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | ... |
![]() Axel | "Huh? Oh, Rock types, I know those well" |
![]() Cici | no reason a trainer couldnt have multiple of a species |
![]() Axel | True |
![]() Cici | i mean like: look at that one guy in every game with 6 magikarp he's having a great time |
![]() Drufle (GM) | :P |
![]() Axel | but I also want one like, really badly |
![]() Jack | Phoone do you actually want a trubbish |
![]() Victor | " |
![]() Axel | I have a soft spot for Roggenrolla |
![]() Victor | bugger Victor is getting bounced all over the place |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I really wish the music hadn't just cut out on me like that. |
![]() Victor | "Scree!!" he's either making shrieks of happiness or fear. it's hard to tell. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Good thing I still have the soundcloud open. Well! Let's catch us some Roggenrola! |
![]() Cici | yeah i was completely serious about that im catching all three |
![]() Axel | I'm on it |
![]() Cici | This is a good opportunity to study intra-species variations, you know. |
![]() Laughingstock | then release them into a perfume store |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So, Jack? |
![]() Jack | ok how to poke ball |
![]() Axel | "Hey, Jack? You think we could catch both?" roll 2d6 + aptitude + 20 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It's an aptitude check plus your capture strength. |
![]() Cici | you cannot fail literally |
![]() Jack | so 20 for basic right |
![]() Cici | roggenrola are that easy |
![]() Axel | yup |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Correct. |

![]() Axel | I have a name for mine it's not george |
![]() Cici | romain: do you mean they played together in a field happily until an egg appeared by magic Axel tosses a Pokeball in sync with Jack |
![]() Romain | thats the official story |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Axel: you could have gotten minimum on that roll. |
![]() Cici | pokemon is the most g-rated game with a breeding program ever honestly |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And still succeeded. |
![]() Axel | We're going to need a way to tell them appart |
![]() Jack | what about viva pinata |
![]() Bluejohn | ...? |
![]() Cici | didnt they literally explode in that game horror Romain: that one npc in xy(?) though : 'actually pokemon eggs are more like a cradle' ???? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Right, um. Cici casually slides over to the Stinko Corner |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh, I remember that NPC. |
![]() Romain | klefki and trubbish can breed |
![]() Cici | "How are you guys doing?" sexe |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Trubbish look up from their new ball. Victor stumbles dizzily around |
![]() Victor | "Screeee~" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | One of them chortles a bit at the large creature standing before it. |
![]() Jack | this poor bug Rochelle tumbles out of the ball |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The other two are kinda staring confused. Copper performs a metallic giggle |
![]() Jack | oh is yours a girl hora |
![]() Cici | brother n sister rocks |
![]() Copper | Yus |
![]() Jack | yay |
![]() Cici | aww |
![]() Axel | Bro and Sis |
![]() Drufle (GM) | This scene has ended up, like, 150% more sappy than I originally planned. |
![]() Axel | Suddenly we all have multimons |
![]() Jack | god I just remembered we're gonna have to swapsies |
![]() Axel | Blame us |
![]() Romain | "Suddenly our party becomes a literal party." |
![]() Jack | to get gigalith |
![]() Axel | we did this We can doubleswap |
![]() Cici | "If any of you are interested in travel... excitement... varied cuisine..." |
![]() Axel | Gigalith though, that is so cool |
![]() Jack | yah |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The chuckley Trubbish runs up to Cici and pokes her leg a bit. |
![]() Cici | "There are some openings on my research team..." "Help me out?" |
![]() Axel | They like you |
![]() Jack | "these three seem like rabble-rousers to me!" |
![]() Cici | "An applicant, eh?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It hops up and down, grinning kind of goofily. The other two are significantly more reserved. Cici pulls out a pokeball |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Still staring cautiously. |
![]() Axel | I'm going to need to see the stats on all of these |
![]() Cici | "Well, if your friends there are concerned, why don't you go first?" Cici tosses the ball to the eager little fellow |

![]() Drufle (GM) | One down! The chortling Trubbish gets sucked into the Pokeball. |
![]() Axel | what in the world are you going to do with three trubbishes? Cici quickly retrieves the ball, and opens it back up |
![]() Drufle (GM) | His friends look notably concerned. |
![]() Romain | buy a sleigh |
![]() Cici | science, axel! |
![]() Axel | Trubbish swarm |
![]() Cici | science! |
![]() Jack | hmm |
![]() Axel | I'm the engineer here |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They look relieved when their friend reappears. |
![]() Cici | "How was that? Not too uncomfortable, I hope?" |
![]() Jack | "guys, I don't think these other two are as happy about this..." "or maybe they all want to stick together?" Rochelle runs into Axel's leg and falls over |
![]() Cici | to the other two "We need to get going soon. Are you interested in coming along as well, or shall we say our goodbyes?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Trubbish waddle over to their friend and mutter at him a bit. He starts guffawing and seems to be consoling them. Terry gestures and grunts hurriedly |
![]() Terry | you have no idea what this guy is saying. what a weirdo. |
![]() Axel | keeping track of all these mons will be...interesting |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The other two nod cautiously. They look up at Cici expectantly. Terry strikes a pose, assuring them that he is in the peak of health. |
![]() Axel | "Oh?" Axel picks up Rochelle |
![]() Cici | "Oh, you'll join us as well? Lovely!" |

![]() Axel | "Wait, washing machine?" We cleared the room |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Romain: That washing machine is indeed there for a reason. |
![]() Jack | do we have any item balls |
![]() Cici | "Great idea, Romain. I didn't pack enough clothes for this trip." |
![]() Jack | "no don't you see?! rotom can use them in battle!" Cici quickly pops the other two back out of their balls Nickle gives Romain a...questioning look |
![]() Axel | "Rotom can do that?" Rotom Wash unlocked |
![]() Romain | "Where did you get this, Stock?" Terry gleefully jumps up and down, glad to be reunited with his friends |
![]() Axel | Cic now has the most pokemon |
![]() Romain | "I hope you didn't Illegally Obtain it from that conveniently placed department store next door." "The dumpster??" |

![]() Chloe | you've never seen a trubbish look sick before. it's not pleasant. Axel examines the washing machine with Rochelle in his arms |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The washing machine is clearly dilapidated, but Stock seems to have quite an interest in it. It has some scorch marks across it from where he's been messing with it. |
![]() Axel | I'm going to have to make Rochelle and Copper sprites now |
![]() Chloe | "Trubb... trubb trubb." |
![]() Axel | "I might be able to fix this up" Chloe seems pleasantly surprised that all her limbs are still attached |
![]() Axel | "Make it opperational again" |
![]() Romain | "You're both metaphorically and literally attached to this huh." Laughingstock hugs the washing machine Armstrong appears back out of the second pokeball's flash |
![]() Armstrong | "Trubbish. Bish trubbish." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Man, loving the names here. |
![]() Axel | every name was chosen with love Armstrong seems to be the most serious of three, and appears to be indicating that we should get a move on. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Indeed! Nickle patiently waits |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You see, we still have one more Pokemon waiting for us! |
![]() Nickle | -I've been with this group long enough, I know how this works- Bluejohn wanders around aimlessly since he can hear but not see |
![]() Nickle | another mon? |
![]() Laughingstock | its heatran still following us |
![]() Terry | The three trubbish squabble amongst themselves over something or other |
![]() Laughingstock | very slowly |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh come now, has everyone already forgotten? |
| phoone | our recurring rival character is heatran |
![]() Jack | "Yeah, we gotta get back to the lab!" |
![]() Will | "For what?" |
![]() Nickle | The screen is filled with mons! |
![]() Romain | "Come again." |
![]() Axel | "Ah! Right! The lab, we gotta go" |
![]() Jack | "I gots a fossil to meel" Cici leaves her new pokemon out of the balls, allowing them some time to wander around their home a bit longer. |
![]() Jack | meal |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Guys, my impersonate list. It's really, really long. |
![]() Cici | xD Copper snags Axel's Notebook |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm gonna have to start removing my own permissions. |
![]() Cici | i'm up to 7 Brunt seems a little bit... happier |
![]() Romain | "I'm not gonna lift this for you, you know." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Just so I don't have to wade through like 50 guys. |
![]() Copper | too much stuff |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, movement time! Laughingstock perks up and jumps into the washing machine once more. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's see what that doctor has in wait for us. Copper is dissapointed that Axel doesn't see her with his notebook |
![]() Cici | so i'm up to 5 |
![]() Axel | To the LAAAAAAB |
![]() Cici | axel's got 3 now |
![]() Axel | Mon'splotion |
![]() Cici | romain has 3, jack and will have 2 each im figuring once ive finished studying these three i'll give some of them to you guys if you want |
![]() Axel | you're going to need bigger pictures, Drufle |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You know, I almost feel bad that Will didn't get to participate in that. |
![]() Axel | He'd have loved it but he got a frog |
![]() Drufle (GM) | We'll have to make sure we hit another sanctuary soon. |
![]() Axel | he's good EXP for first Sanctuary? and awsome captures? |
![]() Cici | thirst |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Everyone gets 1 exp. Cici gets 2. |
![]() Axel | Yeeeeee |
![]() Jack | im at 9 now |
![]() Cici | ive dinged im the fucking strong |
![]() Drufle (GM) | For exceptional roleplaying and some particularly wonderful catching. |
![]() Axel | 8 EXP |
![]() Jack | yer a star |
![]() Axel | I'm behiiiiind. Need to make more stuff |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The party wanders across the city with their new gang. |
![]() Axel | quick, what needs to be solved right now? |
![]() Cici | im gonna get 1 more for a trubbish pokedex |
![]() Drufle (GM) | People are staring quite confusedly. |
![]() Cici | and perhaps more for other people dexes, but we haven't decided on those yet really? i would figure people in the city would be used to pokemon being everywhere |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You'd think so, but this is. Quite a crowd. |
![]() Cici | i guess three trubbish fighting on the sidewalk is a bit much |
![]() Axel | Ohey, I know this song |
![]() Jack | but not a landfill's worth of trubbish behind a hot lady |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh, oh, welcome back!" |
![]() Axel | People are not accustomed this this much awsome Cailan? Dang I missed a lot |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The doctor is waiting outside the lab. |
![]() Axel | "Oh hello Doctor...uh..." |
![]() Jack | "hallo, sir!" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Wow, uh, what happened?" |
![]() Cici | cici isnt super hot shes got the doctor vibe going on i guess Dr. Cailan leans past the trainers to see the horde of Pokemon behind them. |
![]() Laughingstock | "Friends." oops |
![]() Cici | but shes mostly like Nice Mom Look |
![]() Laughingstock | third strike!! im out |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "My, it's only been an hour or so!" "Quite a busy crowd, you are." Copper decides to sneak up on the Doctor after finding Axel unfazed by her efforts |
![]() Cici | "We kept ourselves busy." Dr. Cailan points to Jack. |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "You, you, I've got something for you!" Cici laughs |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Please, please, come inside everyone!" Jack eeeees Copper nicks something from Doctor Cailan |
![]() Axel | leaning over to Cici "What was his name again?" |
![]() Cici | "Oh, uh, Doctor, this is Will, and Romain. They've been helping us look for the Professor." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Yes, yes, wonderful to meet you all." Dr. Cailan seems rather preoccupied. |
![]() Copper | -Why you no notice me! |
![]() Cici | to Axel "Check his nametag." |
![]() Dr. Cailan | You walk into the lab, still full of random gizmos. Copper jingles to get Cailan's attention |
![]() Dr. Cailan | Sitting on the desk, however, is something new! |
![]() Cici | new running gag: copper is completely ignored, by everyone guys i think im gonna put my level up point into aptitude |
![]() Axel | "Uhh, thanks Cici, I forgot about that" oh, you leveled? sweet |
![]() Jack | copper puts back the things he steals when no-one pays attention to him |
![]() Cici | ive done the ding |
![]() Axel | did we decide how much EXP we needed to level |
![]() Cici | 10 |
![]() Axel | cool Copper puts the thingy down in frustration. She needs to up her gam |
![]() Dr. Cailan | A happy little Omanyte sits on the counter, wiggling its tentacles around and picking up bits of metal. |
![]() Axel | "Woah..." |
![]() Jack | "EEEEE" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "See, see, I've done it!" |
![]() Cici | "Oh, it's beautiful!" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "The fossil was almost entirely intact, it was incredible!" |
![]() Jack | "bless this precious child" Axel is startled by Jack's squee, jumping a bit Axel drops Rochelle by accident |
![]() Romain | "Witchcraft. Really impressive witchcraft." |
![]() Jack | rochelle shatters on the tailed floor or shatters the tiled floor, whatever works Rochelle lands on the ground, leaving a dent on the floor and looking somewhat dazed |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Omanyte looks up at the new people, and waggles rapidly. |
![]() Jack | "hewwo dere!" |
![]() Romain | "How many hexes did it require to capture its wandering soul?" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Oh, oh, right." Dr. Cailan fishes in his coat and pulls out a Pokeball. Jack holds out a pinky |
![]() Axel | baby Omanyte |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "This is for you, sir Jack." Copper giggles and swoops in |
![]() Jack | "oh, well I-I don't really deserve a sir, sir, b-but" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "I linked the Omanyte's information to this Pokeball when I revived it." |
![]() Jack | "thank you so much!!" Cici sniffles a little |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Anything for one of Hawthorne's apprentices." |
![]() Cici | "It's only a baby...." Copper misses the Pokeball and instead runs into Cici |
![]() Cici | "Oof!" |
![]() Axel | "Eh? Copper!" |
![]() Cici | "Hey there!" |
![]() Axel | "Please behave, your made of metal, remember?" Cici giggles at the unfortunate fairy |
![]() Romain | i ship it |
![]() Jack | Nickle and Copper glom together by accident Copper looks rather saddened by her miss |
![]() Cici | why has being the only girl automatically made me hot is this just a law of nature |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Is... is that a Klefki?" |
![]() Cici | i feel liek it is |
![]() Nickle | Rochelle is a girl! Everyone always forgets Rochelle |
![]() Romain | rochelle is a grill |
![]() Axel | "Uh, yes. Yes she is" Clara attempts to raise a middle finger, but it doesn't convey well |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Quite a spectacular specimen, the keys look fantastically old..." |
![]() Cici | i meant the only girl capable of speech and with sexe boob Copper is insulted by the old keys comment |
![]() Cici | w/e lmao |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "Well, well, I believe that's all I had for you." |
![]() Copper | Ckcclclckckkckc!!! |
![]() Romain | "Now to look for the missing professor's body! For the autopsy." |
![]() Cici | reassuringly "Older keys are rarer, you know. More valuable." Cambria blesses all present in the name of the L O R D |
![]() Copper | XD |
![]() Cici | tiny baby priest |
![]() Drufle (GM) | pfffff |
![]() Cici | h a i l |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cambria, that's a great name. Copper lets out an audible sigh, but calms down |
![]() Cici | ive never heard keys sigh |
![]() Cambria | antedeluvian shrine maiden |
![]() Cici | it probably sounds like wind chimes... |
![]() Nickle | "Zzzt" |
![]() Cici | precious baby klefki y r pokemon so fucking cute |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, I do believe that will be all for tonight. |
![]() Cambria | yes thank you |
![]() Nickle | Because they haven't evolved yet |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's have a quick roll call, just to see. |
![]() Cici | "Well, we'd better get going, Doctor." |
| Moppy | FLY |
![]() Nickle | Really, Copper has ended up being the only talkative one on my team |
![]() Cici | "Thanks for your help!" |
| Moppy | "Well find the professor for sure!" |
![]() Nickle | Nickle is serious. Rochelle is mute so... |
![]() Cici | the trubbish's special attack is that they stand on top of each other like a snowman this is canon |
![]() Romain | we bare trash bears |
![]() Nickle | Bro's attack |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And that's everyone! |
![]() Cici | yes |
![]() Axel | holly |
![]() Romain | can we arrange ourselves into a benis |
![]() Cici | no |
![]() Axel | yeah, you're going to need BIIIG backgrounds, Druf |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I think not. |
| Moppy | I can't move the omanyte |
![]() Cici | i don't think we'll have them all out at once |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's just have one out a time, please. Oh, sorry Mopp. |
![]() Cici | except for the group shots |
![]() Drufle (GM) | One sec. |
![]() Cici | touching campfire scenes |
![]() Romain | omanyte looks so intrigued |
![]() Axel | I will have them all talking when I feel like it also, SHOPPING |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Wait, you have permissions Mopp. |
![]() Axel | how much money do we have total? |
![]() Cici | jack is pretty much broke the rest of us have a few thousand each |
![]() Axel | welp |
![]() Cici | 2-3 |
![]() Romain | three of these are not like the others |
![]() Axel | I have 3700 since I've bought nothing |
![]() Cici | id guesstimate about $12k? |
| Moppy | still nothin. druf |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That's so bizarre. |
![]() Romain | the smallest child worm |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Try being Jack again. And giving it a go. |
![]() Jack | test |
![]() Axel | do we want an Item Finder and/or an Apricorn case? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Actually, nevermind. |
![]() Jack | ah, there |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I didn't make the pog actually represent Cambria. |
![]() Jack | ' 3' |
![]() Cici | pernus achieved |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, do we want to pool some money for a key item? |
![]() Axel | YES I will spend all my money if I have too |
![]() Cici | yeah im running low on cash tho |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It's quite an expense but key items are very handy. |
![]() Cici | so borrow form someone else |
![]() Jack | apparently... |
![]() Cici | maybe next time you can hit up streak hes got a bunch of money |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, let's try that next time. |
![]() Axel | do we want Item Finder or Apricorn kit? |
![]() Cici | id say itemfinder first, but jack has no money and it'd be his |
![]() Axel | I mean, I'm sure we can afford one of them before Streak gets back |
![]() Cici | so that might not make sense depends on how we split the cost too if we go $1000 each on every item that might be the fairest way to pay for them because they'd benefit the whole team, really |
![]() Axel | If it is an Apricorn kit, I will gladly pay 3000 |
![]() Cici | jack doesnt have 1k tho |
![]() Axel | Axel is a man of SCIENCE |
![]() Cici | maybe we can just cut him some slack |
![]() Axel | I'll pay Jack's part and get taxes later |
![]() Cici | hm |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, how about we do the math in chat. Close this out for now. |
![]() Cici | should we do that now or maybe wait for streak to return before stealing $1000 from him |
![]() Axel | Wait |
![]() Cici | i won't be here next session |
![]() Axel | new mons means updates |
![]() Cici | streak might not either |
![]() Axel | I can pay Streak's part too he can pay me back if he wants too I want a key item before we go |
![]() Cici | alright then romain are you down with throwing $1k into apricorns |
![]() Axel | That or Item Finder |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm not even sure if romain is paying attention anymore. |
![]() Axel | if Apricorns isn't what you want dang it |
![]() Romain | hi |
![]() Cici | alright scratch the cash off our sheets |
![]() Romain | i thought were done sorry about that |
![]() Cici | axels got apricots now yummy |
![]() Axel | Cool |
![]() Romain | "The greater good..ies!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alrighty then, that should do it. |
![]() Axel | did I pay 2000 or 3000? |
![]() Cici | 3k |
![]() Drufle (GM) | 3000. |
![]() Axel | alrighty let me mark that |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Mark down the Apricorn kit. And then I think we're finally done here. |
