Drufle (GM)	Session 4, start! Wait. 5?
Axel	who moved my rock?
Drufle (GM)	What session is this.
Axel	5, right?
Drufle (GM)	I legitimately don't remember. It's been a while. Cici shrug
Drufle (GM)	I'm gonna go with 5. Session 5, start!
Axel	5th confirmed I checked the forum, you're good to go
Drufle (GM)	Also, I moved your rock. I'm the only other one that can.
Axel	why...?
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, last time on PPP.
Axel	what did she ever do to you?
Drufle (GM)	Things happened!
Axel	Ice monsters!
Drufle (GM)	Right, Regice.
Axel	Clumsy professors
Jack	I can't believe we were frozen solid for two weeks
Axel	minor loss of sanity (?)
Drufle (GM)	That was a really long fanfiction I bet. So we had a little run-in with a crazy ice monster.
Axel	doom and gloom too
Drufle (GM)	That was interesting.
Axel	wait, what day is it then?
Jack	why is Cici still frozen
Cici	I'm working on it.
Drufle (GM)	This time, we'll finally be making our way up the horrible mountain to Spinel Village! Uhhhhhhhh
Cici	Frozen?
Drufle (GM)	Go check the timeline.
Jack	kk
Axel	we have a timeline?
Drufle (GM)	In the threeums.
Cici	This is all highly canon
Axel	day 5
Jack	I am bringing the hiatus into the story
Drufle (GM)	I've been keeping track of time in one of the later posts.
Axel	Nickle kept track, the champ
Jack	we froze harmlessly for a fortnight
Drufle (GM)	Mopp is incorporating downtime into actual canon. Horrible blizzard or something happened.
Axel	lets not
Drufle (GM)	Probably.
Cici	Lmao
Axel	that'd just make our jobs harder
Cici	We've been stuck in this blizzard for 3 months
Axel	too many plotholes
Cici	Will is now league champion Hawthorn is dead
Jack	it also explains how I caught this cold
Drufle (GM)	Well we can now crawl our way up to the summit! Well, not exactly the summit. It's pretty high up though.
Axel	Secret: Droof is Hawthorn
Drufle (GM)	Have we done all our character talking for the moment?
Axel	now you know
Drufle (GM)	Shall I just push us up the mountain?
Axel	umm, did we just wake up?
Cici	i did it
Axel	XD
Drufle (GM)	Did you?
Jack	pls
Cici	ye
Drufle (GM)	I suppose this could be the day after. That seems reasonable. Axel: Nickle used Stern Look! Target Cici Roll 6 5 6 + 6 AC 9 Damage 0
Drufle (GM)	Alright! Up to Spinel we go!
Cici	i cant believe you made a fucking macro for that 10/10
Axel	XD It's just the standard one wait, we made it? already?
Cici	yeah there was just a buncha walkin and stuff
Drufle (GM)	Well that's what y'all said was happening.
Axel	this song sounds...familiure
Drufle (GM)	And thus it did!
Jack	oah
Axel	paper mario, izzat you?
Cici	man the like vocalizations
headcanon	it's snorunts
Drufle (GM)	Way to recognize, Axel.
Cici	lil snorunts singin
Axel	I played ALL the paper mario games
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, it was actually another few hours up the mountain. But I didn't want to put another encounter in that.
Axel	I healed Nickle thinking we'd have to fight something again before we got to town
Drufle (GM)	Nope!
Axel	ah well, I'd have done it anyways
Cici	you were a fool
Axel	"Well, this is nice" is there a gym here?
Drufle (GM)	Anyway everyone, welcome to Spinel Village! Why yes, there is!
Cici	i feel welcome
Axel	probably going to tackle that
Drufle (GM)	Excuse the horribly low-res landscape. Your eyes are just shivering. Or something.
Cici	"We finally made it!"
Axel	also, I think I said I had a hand helping to make this Gym Axel I mean in da past Cici stands breathlessly for a minute
Cici	"Our first stop is..." Jack sneezes
Cici	"Uh."
Axel	"It...is a bit t-t-t-to cold here..."
Cici	"Somewhere warm, I think."
Drufle (GM)	Spinel Village is notably smaller than the other two settlements you've visited.
Cici	"Let's find the Pokemon Center, shall we?"
Drufle (GM)	There are no vehicles around, just a few people carting things around.
Axel	"P-p-p-pokemon center, please?" Nickle agrees wholeheartedly, despite being invisible
Drufle (GM)	The Pokemon Center is nearby, albeit quite a bit smaller than others you've seen. Nurse Joy welcomes you in, and offers to heal your Pokemon while you rest with some hot chocolate.
Cici	"Thank you, miss." Nickle does not initially agree to going into the ball
Axel	"Nickle, please, after that fight you need to rest."
Drufle (GM)	At the moment, you seem to be the only other ones in the building. Rochelle sits down in Cici's lap
Drufle (GM)	The village is a quiet one, you can tell.
Jack	"thaznku sniff"
Cici	"Hey, sweetie. You okay?" Cici pats the rock on the head Axel sips the hot chocolate
Drufle (GM)	Nurse Joy eyes Jack, concerned.
Axel	"Thank you for the help, miss" Rochelle sits silently
Cici	"I'm not really sure what the cold will do to a rock type... but it sure didn't seem very good for Jack."
Drufle (GM)	Shortly after, Joy returns with the Pokeballs and sets them on the counter.
Jack	"I feel like the bottom of a chatot cage"
Axel	"A rock type wouldn't feel the cold without being wet first"
Drufle (GM)	She mentions that if you need somewhere to stay, she has some rooms in the back. There's only one visitor at the moment, so most of the rooms are empty.
Cici	"Well, guys, where should we start?"
Jack	"guys can we stay for de nite"
Nickle	"Is it night?" woops
Axel	"Is it night?"
Jack	"I wanna sleep an nvr waek upp"
Axel	it's certainly too early for this nonsense
Drufle (GM)	It's, like, noon. She meant in a more long-term sense. Cici shakes her head
Cici	"Of course we're in no rush to leave. We just got here!"
Axel	"Maybe we should get some warmer attire" Nurse Joy walks over to Jack and hands him some medicine.
Cici	"We can definitely stay tonight, I think."
Jack	"oah" "thnku very mush" Nurse Joy smiles and nods.
Nurse Joy	"So, what are a group of strangers doing all the way up here?" Rochelle turns towards the Nurse
Axel	"Uh...we were looking for someone..."
Nurse Joy	"And with such a variety of Pokemon, too!" Nurse Joy cocks her head.
Nurse Joy	"Looking for someone? Who?"
Axel	"Um..."
Cici	"Professor Hawthorn. He's gone missing, I'm afraid." Axel is feeling more addled than usual
Axel	must be the cold
Nurse Joy	"Missing? Oh dear, I hope not! I just saw him an hour ago!" Axel shoots up
Axel	"Where!?"
Jack	"an nourrr!"
Cici	"D-do you know where he's going?!"
Nurse Joy	"Well, he's the other visitor I have here." Rochelle is glad that she was not sitting on Axel's lap
Cici	"We've been looking for him for days..."
Nurse Joy	"He said he was off to the nearby caves to do some research..."
Axel	"Caves? Oh no..."
Nurse Joy	"He just arrived yesterday, I hope he hasn't been causing too much trouble!"
Axel	"Near town...or down a little?" Cici turns towards Axel, panicked
Cici	"You don't think..."
Nurse Joy	"He's in the mines just outside of town." Axel sighs
Nurse Joy	"Or that's where he said he was headed."
Axel	"Okay...different caves, that's better"
Cici	"Those didn't look like mines, at least." Axel sits back down
Cici	"Do you think you could point us that way? We really need to catch up to him."
Nurse Joy	"I can give you directions, if you need to follow him."
Cici	"That'd be great, thank you so much." Nurse Joy nods and head back behind the counter. Nurse Joy rustles around with a box by the healing machine and pulls out a small map.
Nurse Joy	"See, this here is the Pokemon Center, the mines are just over in this direction..." Nickel writes down a copy of the directions
Cici	"Okay, so we need to go..." "Alright, I think I've got it."
Nurse Joy	"Good, I hope he isn't in trouble!"
Jack	"nooo"
Nurse Joy	"He seemed fine when he left..."
Axel	"He seems to have been in less trouble than us" "I'm just relieved..."
Nickel	We gotta move go go go Nickel nudges Axel towards the door
Drufle (GM)	Alright alright, hold your horses.
Cici	"Wait." "Jack, are you sure you're okay to head back out?"
Axel	"I don't think Nickel wants to wait"
Cici	"I mean, ideally, we'll be bringing the professor right back here... You could wait for us."
Jack	"no im not" "im ill" Jack sneezes messily Nickel turns to look at Jack, giving him a mildly disappointed look
Nurse Joy	"Here, let me show you to a room."
Nickel	are we actually leaving Jack?
Jack	honestly im not in a condition to be engaging in this meaningfullly I did actually catch a cold on friday
Cici	"He'll be okay. Let's let him rest."
Jack	I just want to watch
Drufle (GM)	That's fine.
Nickel	well, alright
Drufle (GM)	It's good that you're still here!
Jack	:)
Axel	if we find something you like, we can catch it for you
Drufle (GM)	I'd love to have you along regardless. For the moment, we have Axel and Cici's Great Adventure.
Axel	you're our treasure hunter, though
Drufle (GM)	Because I think Romain may have also caught a cold.
Jack	"here take the itemfinder"
Axel	With guest star Romain!
Cici	"Why don't you stay with him, Romain? We'll be back soon."
Axel	who has the highest attention of us?
Cici	mines 4 i think lmao can we give it to nickel
Axel	what if Golurk shows up in the middle of this Romain nods and sits down next to Jack.
Jack	his damn fault
Drufle (GM)	Does Cici have a key item?
Axel	Have Nickel act as Jack's prozy proxy Cici doesn't, but her attention isn't that great
Drufle (GM)	Axel can't technically use the Itemfinder as he has the Apricorn Kit.
Axel	mine is 5, but I have an item
Jack	this disturbingly intelligent magnemite honestly you'll find SOMETHING useful
Cici	i dont
Axel	Give it to Nickel, and he can just act out Mopp's rolls instead
Cici	ill just take it anyway
Drufle (GM)	Alright, let's move out!
Axel	The mag is not to be underestimated Cici, do you carry Rochelle she was in your lap
Cici	uh >like 500 pounds or whatever no thanks
Jack	GET THAT LARVITAR
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle is Axel's, right?
Axel	she's only 39 calm down
Drufle (GM)	Why not just put her in a Pokeball?
Cici	"More caves, huh."
Axel	because I'm Axel, that's why
Cici	"...Terrible things happen to us in caves."
Jack	it's bergmite who is 500 lbs, Cici :P
Cici	"I think I might be getting claustrophobic."
Axel	Axel doesn't understand pokeballs
Cici	roggenrola is like... 80 pounds? i forget it's a lot Rochelle fell out of Cici's lap when she stood up, and is now walking behind us
Rochelle	nope, 39.7 lbs tiny rock
Drufle (GM)	Axel and Cici follow Nurse Joy's directions out of the village, across a small clearing and into a cave being clumsily held up by beams. Some Pokemon clear away as you walk into the cave.
Axel	"Well...this looks about right" Nickel begins mapping the area Nickel: Aptitude Check: 12
Cici	"This looks... awfully dangerous. I hope it's safe for civilians."
Nickel	and doesn't draw it too well Pencils, how do they work?
Cici	he dunt have hands
Axel	"Safe or not, Hawthorn likely didn't consider it"
Cici	"...Yeah, that sounds about right."
Nickel	-I've managed so far-
Cici	"Alright, let's go. Maybe one of the miners can point us towards him." Axel: Attention Check: 11 "Ummm...what miners?"
Drufle (GM)	Axel is right, surprisingly enough.
Axel	wait, what?
Drufle (GM)	There are actually no miners around.
Cici	"It's a mine... where are all the miners?"
Axel	huh Cici thinks for a second
Axel	"Oh, right...mine...I'm not sure"
Cici	"If Hawthorn's checking out something in here... And all the miners have cleared out..."
Axel	"We didn't ask if this mine was active, did we?"
Cici	"...There's probably another legendary Pokemon in here somewhere, isn't there."
Axel	"Or they're just tapped out?"
Cici	"I suppose it could be abandoned."
Axel	"I'm hoping I'm right"
Cici	"It's right near town, though." (we are walking and talking i assume)
Axel	Can I check the walls? Can I invent something to observer the mineral content of this area?
Drufle (GM)	Hm... Well, that is your job! Give it a shot.
Axel	or just find out stuff okay its aptitude, yes? Aptitude Check: 12 of all things
Cici	oof
Axel	I just can't win I'm shit at my job
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that.
Axel	maybe I need a new profession
Drufle (GM)	Uh.
Axel	it's...uhg
Cici	fieldwork is hard m8
Drufle (GM)	Well, Axel manages to cobble together a sort of pseudo-radar from some trinkets in his pack.
Jack	stop praying to arceus and start praying to the RNG
Cici	isn't quite the same as making pokeballs in a lab lmao
Axel	oh dear
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, all it tells you is that this mine is apparently made of inorganic material.
Axel	RNGarceus "Well...its all rock"
Cici	"...That's a relief, I suppose."
Axel	saying that aloud sounds like orange arceus
Cici	"It'd be awfully strange if it wasn't."
Axel	"I'm sorry" "I just don't have my tools"
Cici	"Well, at least you tried." "Let's just keep moving, okay?" "I mean, how big can this place be?" immediate regret
Drufle (GM)	Nice. Way to cliche-doom yourself.
Cici	keke
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, the two of you begin wandering deeper into the mines.
Axel	"ummm...I don't feel confortable giving an actual answer to that"
Drufle (GM)	Anyone got a light?
Axel	does Nickel count?
Drufle (GM)	Does he?
Cici	i dont
Drufle (GM)	Does he even emit light?
Axel	I have an idea
Cici	"I was hoping this place wouldn't be so... dark."
Axel	"I'm a bit tired of being a dead-weight..." "Nickel! Metal Claw on the walls! As fast as possible!"
Drufle (GM)	Wow, alright.
Nickel	-Wut?- Nickel revs up his magnets, getting them spinning as fast as he can
Drufle (GM)	I mean that will work but I can't possibly imagine a way to make more noise. Nickel digs the magnets into the walls, making a shrill sound and sparks
Cici	"Oh, what a good ide- MY EARS"
Nickel	sparks provide light Axel covers his ears
Drufle (GM)	See if you can invent some earplugs next time, eh?
Axel	They'd only work for an hour so...do we see anything more? now that we have a lightsource
Drufle (GM)	I'm working on it! One moment please.
Jack	get a torch
Axel	we dun have one, fiery or otherwise you have Romain with you and our only candle
Cici	fieri
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, after a while of wandering, you begin to hear something.
Jack	I meant if any of you had wood on you yo could use the sparks to light it but u dont
Axel	we're on top of a mountain. Wood is at a premium
Cici	we could uh ...
Drufle (GM)	But you're surrounded by wood! Look at all these beams!
Cici	no axel no
Axel	where?
Cici	dont give him ideas
Drufle (GM)	>:D
Axel	I am not lighting the entire mines on fire
Cici	can you imagine if we literally died in a cavein
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, make some Attention checks. Axel: Attention Check: 8 Cici: Attention Check: 11 oh god humiliating
Axel	this is not my day
Drufle (GM)	Nice job fools. Mark 1 exp Axel.
Axel	too much noise yeeeap
Cici	episode 5: Team Science Gets Lost
Drufle (GM)	Axel hears absolutely nothing.
Cici	but yeah i was gonna say clara can produce infinite leaves
Axel	I've never felt so ashamed to get EXP
Cici	and we could burn those, i guess thatd be such a shitty light source lmao
Drufle (GM)	Cici thinks she hears a voice, but can't really pin it.
Cici	just carrying around flaming leaves "Did you hear that?"
Axel	"what?"
Cici	"I thought I..." Axel can't hear Cici over Nickel
Cici	"Nickel will you shut up for a second!" Nickel halts screeching Cici listens again for a second
Nickel	everything goes dark
Drufle (GM)	You think you hear...
Nickel	RANDOM ENCOUNTER
Cici	faint, distant 'shut up'
Drufle (GM)	Another Attention check! Cici: Attention Check: 13 eyy Nickel: Attention Check: 14
Cici	eyy! the big rolls
Nickel	See, this is how I roll
Drufle (GM)	There you go. You hear the Professor!
Nickel	by not using Axel
Cici	whats he saying Rochelle begins following the Professor's voice
Drufle (GM)	"HOLY SHIT WHERE IS EVERYONE SOMEONE HELP"
Rochelle	I hear better than all ya'll
Cici	oh no
Rochelle	and I don't need to see
Drufle (GM)	Or something along those lines.
Axel	"Oh dear. Follow Rochelle!" Nickel begins the lightshow again
Cici	"Let's hurry!" Axel runs after his tiny rock
Drufle (GM)	The group of you quickly moves down one of the adjacent tunnels, and you eventually arrive in a fairly large cavern.
Cici	yeah lets follow rochelle im sure she can navigate better than we can
Axel	Roggenrolla probably can, actually
Cici	she is just a big ol ear
Axel	TWO CICI's!?
Drufle (GM)	Two?
Axel	Drufle, what did you do!?
Cici	gee bill why does your mom let you have two cicis
Drufle (GM)	I thought I accidentally deleted one. I only see one on the screen.
Cici	both of us see two what did you do just like refresh
Axel	this is not making sense
Drufle (GM)	Move yours around a bit. Oh. She was off screen for me.
Cici	...
Axel	XD
Drufle (GM)	NEVERMIND
Cici	nice going, numbskull!!
Jack	a life has been ended
Axel	glitches with old man snitches
Drufle (GM)	ANYWAY
Axel	bye other cici
Jack	OH NO
Cici	thats not cici
Axel	HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THINGS ARCEUS IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT ACCEPTABLE!?
Drufle (GM)	You come upon a large cavern, and find Hawthorne up on a small ledge! Nickel: Attention Check: 7
Drufle (GM)	Without a pog because I seriously could not find one!
Cici	"Professor!"
Nickel	rolling now, failing now
Jack	the other cici was just a reflection in kyurem's massive head
Cici	god hes a big fokker aint he
Drufle (GM)	Also my music isn't working. Why is everything buggy.
Axel	"Professor Hawthorn! Are you okay!?"
Cici	maaaaaaaaaaayday we're going doown
Axel	I hear...wait no its gone
Drufle (GM)	I guess this track is broken?
Cici	yeah pick a new sang
Axel	maybe
Drufle (GM)	That sucks, this one is so cool.
Cici	i do have to eat dinner pretty soon btw
Drufle (GM)	No, this isn't right.
Cici	so like if you want to go fix the music we can pause for a few min
Axel	I can pause
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, let's do that.
Cici	okay ill go grab somethin Nickel pushes the pause button
Cici	be back in about 20 min or so
Nickel	-Alright, continuity has been stopped-
Cici	just use like rowan's head or something for the pog
Nickel	sounds about right we'll figure something else later
Cici	okay brb
Drufle (GM)	Fixed the music! Now I'll add in the pog...
Nickel	testing, 1 2 3 testing um
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear. You know what, I like that.
Nickel	I was thinking more his head? there is a Rowan portrait like ours, right?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, one sec. Better.
Nickel	that works still not sure why you put us in front of a MAN-EATING legendary did I mention that it is known to actually eat people?
Drufle (GM)	Nah, you're fine.
Nickel	probably Magnemites too
Jack	you literally just said that the joke doesn't work if there isn't a gap timinggggg
Nickel	look I'm a magnemite I don't have timing
Jack	listen im the petulant spirit of jack i;ll berate you as often as I like
Nickel	and I to you
Jack	you have to learn the true meaning of christmas before I can be expelled
Nickel	but I don't have to be a petulant spirit to do it
Drufle (GM)	This is a slightly different track. But I think it's just as good. And I gave it a more appropriate name. Nickel turns on the radio
Nickel	whenever you're ready
Drufle (GM)	Well, I'm waiting. For Cici to return.
Nickel	you're not going to test the track?
Drufle (GM)	Ah, fine. I'll play a few notes. Just to make sure it works.
Nickel	uh
Drufle (GM)	Yep. That works.
Nickel	thats a title I'd fly away if I wasn't paused watch it break when Cici gets back just watch it do so Calling it now
Drufle (GM)	I sure hope it doesn't. That would be sad.
Nickel	probably
Drufle (GM)	But yeah, I hope you guys are ready for your first Boss Fight.
Nickel	SPAM FLASH CANNON SPAM ROCK THROW
Moppy	should I have been here for this
Drufle (GM)	Maybe, maybe not.
Nickel	I'm going to say, "yes please"
Drufle (GM)	It was only ever going to be a 2v1 battle anyway.
Nickel	aw
Moppy	aight
Nickel	this is going to suuuuck
Drufle (GM)	Can't have you guys have too much power.
Nickel	we're dealing with an Ice/Dragon Axel's team might be the only one with super-effective
Drufle (GM)	Cici should use Bug moves. Grass won't do a whole lot.
Nickel	grass will have trouble even hitting him quad resist
Drufle (GM)	Half. Ice doesn't resist Grass.
Nickel	oh, right Ice is a shit defensive type, I forgot
Drufle (GM)	To be fair, Kyurem is basically the epitome of glass cannons. He has pretty poor defenses but he has some nasty attack stats.
Nickel	he outspeeds my team, I'm sure of it
Drufle (GM)	Wow, Ice only resists itself. How sad.
Nickel	yeeeup
Drufle (GM)	It has four weaknesses and one resistance.
Nickel	four very common weaknesses
Moppy	it's terrible and I hate it
Drufle (GM)	It's only saving grace is that it's good against Dragon.
Nickel	Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel
Moppy	GF artists don't know this
Drufle (GM)	But now we have Fairy, so who needs that anymore.
Moppy	they keep making slow and bulky ice mons
Drufle (GM)	Yeah!
Nickel	oh, Ice is excellent at offense
Moppy	we NEED a a skatermon
Nickel	they need more "kill and maim" ice types
Drufle (GM)	Well... We have one!
Nickel	they'd actually get shit done
Drufle (GM)	It's standing right in front of you!
Moppy	I was thinking pure but ok
Nickel	That dragon only pretends to be all powerful couldn't even get to OU without fusion
Drufle (GM)	Oh, pure Ice?
Nickel	highest base stat dragon my ass
Moppy	basically I want an avalugg that's relevant
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, all of those are pretty tanky.
Nickel	Weavile...is not pure umm Cryogonal...isn't fast enough Vaniluxe...isnt' fast enough
Moppy	cryo could do with a mega or an evo then it'd be alright
Nickel	damn it Nintendo! did they even consider their own typings?
Moppy	only when it suits them
Nickel	Beartic is strong, but slow again they just... It's settled, I'll invent a pure ice type that hits hard and fast cause nintendo ain't gonna do it
Drufle (GM)	m.cryogonal has flash freeze for golurk's mons
Nickel	oooh does it get a speed boost?
Drufle (GM)	Which is basically Gale Wings for Ice.
Nickel	oh that's even better what is Kyrum's catch rate?
Drufle (GM)	Low. Er. High. Low in actual game, high in this game.
Nickel	tomato tomahto
Moppy	2hi4u
Drufle (GM)	Specifically, a 66.
Nickel	hmmm Ultra is 40
Drufle (GM)	You literally can't catch it. Without a Master Ball.
Nickel	rolling 40 + 12 + 640+12+6 = 58 yep not happening
Drufle (GM)	Or one of the more powerful Balls. Not that you could control it anyway.
Nickel	I think 40 is the highest base catch rate maye maybe
Drufle (GM)	Level Ball.
Nickel	ah, I see that one
Drufle (GM)	Level Ball is 20+#Level Er. 20+3#Level.
Nickel	okay rolling 20 + (3*10) 20+(3*10) = 50 umm
Drufle (GM)	Yep.
Nickel	base?
Drufle (GM)	At level 10, it has a Base 50.
Nickel	okay so...that just breaks 68
Drufle (GM)	Too bad it's a lot lower for you right now. Everyone is at 2 right now yes?
Nickel	and we don't have one I have 4 exp
Cici	the fuck is this shit
Nickel	I'm getting close Hi Cici we talked
Cici	you blanked out the entire chat log
Nickel	sorry
Cici	lmao im not reading that
Nickel	so yeah...boss battle
Drufle (GM)	So, who's ready for some serious damage?
Cici	okay so uh
Nickel	its not important, don't worry okay Nickel presses the play button
Cici	first point of order: thats like the exact rowan picture i was thinking of
Nickel	-Let's do this
Professor Hawthorne	"OH ARCEUS I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU"
Cici	but we need to recolor him sonic recolor oc just reverse the colors brown hair and white coat
Axel	"Hawthorn! It is you!" "We've been looking everywhere for you!" Cici greeted him with 'professor!' before the temporary pause in time
Professor Hawthorne	"THAT'S FANTASTIC COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE"
Cici	"What on earth-"
Axel	"With...what...oh dear" Kyurem roars and turns around at the intruders.
Axel	"Uhh...uhhh"
Cici	why is my headcanon that hawthorne sounds like barry kremer
Axel	"This is bad....very very bad"
Cici	"What is that?!" Nickel prepares for battle Axel: Aptitude Check: 14
Professor Hawthorne	"WHO CARES WHAT IT IS IT IS VERY ANGRY"
Axel	quite, weak voiced "...Kyurem"
Cici	through gritted teeth "I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this is what the Professor was looking for."
Axel	"We may be dead" "Very very dead"
Drufle (GM)	I hope the two of you have a Pokemon to fight with! Who's ready for a bit of 2v1?
Cici	"I'm really gonna let him have it later for this. This is so irresponsible."
Axel	Rochelle is closest
Cici	"Alright, I have an idea." "Armstrong! Go!"
Axel	"Cici...you remember your Regice?"
Cici	"My? Regice?"
Axel	"not the point" "it was a weapon right?"
Cici	"Yeah..."
Axel	"Then this is...much...much worse"
Cici	"It certainly looks that way!" "I don't think we can take this thing head-on."
Axel	"This...monster has been documented to eat people"
Drufle (GM)	So, what kind of Speed stats are we rocking here?
Cici	"Professor! If we distract it, do you have a way down?"
Axel	I'm at 5
Cici	my current goal is 'dont enter combat' i have Plans by which i mean
Axel	our ability to outrun this thing is zero
Cici	the Gunk Shot field move
Axel	uhhh
Professor Hawthorne	"I DONT KNOW HOW I GOT UP HERE SO MY ANSWER TO THAT IS PROBABLY NOT"
Axel	damn it hawthorn
Cici	well there goes that plan
Axel	We're being forced into fighting
Cici	it can totally kill him from this distance "Damn."
Axel	unless we have a way to bring that man down to the ground
Cici	"Sorry Armstrong. Looks like sticking it in place won't do much." Armstrong blinks, slowly
Axel	"Rochelle, be careful" Rochelle braces for impact Kyurem stamps its feet on the ground and roars, moving towards the intruders.
Cici	4 speed btw i forgot to say
Drufle (GM)	Well, I also have 5!

Drufle (GM)	Which just cancels out the adv from STAB.
Cici	i used the physical defense trubbish lmao
Axel	I need my Copper!
Drufle (GM)	Who are you bringing in, Axel? Alright.
Copper	-Took you long enough-
Drufle (GM)	It is your turn, Axel! Copper jingles angrily for a bout 5 seconds before realizing what she's up against
Axel	"Okay...we have Flash Cannon...lets use that"
Cici	is 'chance to status' a 50% chance? if the move lands?
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Cici	okay im gonna try and poison it i think on my turn so... do whatevah

Drufle (GM)	Armstrong?
Axel	"This is bad...this is really bad"
Cici	"Alright Armstrong, let's try a Toxic!" Copper gives Axel a "ya think so?" kind of look Cici: Armstrong used Toxic! Target Kyurem Roll 2 5 2 + 5 AC 13 Damage 0 hey! hits! he's poisoneddddd

Drufle (GM)	Good job.
Copper	she's good
Cici	ugh honestly my eyes are all bleary
Copper	The plan is to not fall to Nickel, because he's my last mon after Copper
Cici	'the plan is to not die' good idea Drufle (GM): Kyurem used Avalanche! Target Armstrong Roll 2 5 2 + 6 AC 15 Damage 2
Copper	Thank you, I thought of it myself
Drufle (GM)	Miss!
Copper	we need less of those moves, please Armstrong skillfully blocks the hit
Drufle (GM)	Kyurem attempts to spew a pile of ice onto Armstrong, but he shoves it aside!
Axel	"Ummm? Flash Cannon?" Copper glares at Axel
Cici	"I wonder if..." "Clara, while we distract it, do you think you can throw a vine up to the Professor?" Copper sighs and prepares a Metal Claw instead
Cici	this is a sneaking mission Copper: Copper used Metal Claw! Target Kyurem Roll 2 4 5 + 5 AC 13 Damage 3
Drufle (GM)	That'll be a Special Training check, methinks. Or whatever Control Plants requires.
Cici	ye
Copper	nice hit Cici: Special Training Check: 12 lmao A+ roll
Drufle (GM)	Well, that could've been worse. Copper rakes her keys across the Kyurem's face
Cici	doubt i need 120 liters of vines honestly
Drufle (GM)	But yes, 3 damage to Kyurem!
Copper	such anger
Drufle (GM)	The beast rages in response to the insolence of the tiny metal thing.
Copper	-Bite me- -Or meteor me-
Clara	Clara tosses a thick leafy vine up to the professor's ledge.
Copper	noice
Drufle (GM)	Armstrong, your turn!
Copper	Armstrong's turn though
Cici	"Get down, Professor!" "Armstrong, use Poison Fang!" Armstrong used Poison Fang! Target Kyurem Roll 2 2 5 + 5 AC 13 Damage 2 literally the same roll
Copper	augh this is unhelpful!
Drufle (GM)	Roll your 1d6!
Cici	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Nice! Alright, who's ready for some damage?
Cici	me Copper klangs her keys together, taunting the Kyurem Drufle (GM): Kyurem used Outrage! Target Copper Roll 4 4 3 + 7 AC 15 Damage 2
Cici	ouch Drufle (GM): Kyurem used Outrage! Target Copper Roll 2 1 3 + 7 AC 15 Damage 2
Cici	+7

Drufle (GM)	Wow, I actually did too.
Cici	twelve airhorns
Drufle (GM)	Well, I know what I'm using next time. Copper watches as the Kyurem passes right through her
Drufle (GM)	Copper, your turn.
Copper	:P Copper used Iron Head! Target Kyurem Roll 6 6 1 + 5 AC 13 Damage 3
Cici	man hows that even work
Copper	OH SNAP SON
Drufle (GM)	Ouch!
Cici	fairy is just like 'im too magic for this' what a hit
Drufle (GM)	3 damage to poor Kyurem!
Copper	Permenant spot on team aquired
Drufle (GM)	Armstrong, you're up!
Copper	gotta get me some fairy moves
Cici	"Try the Poison Fang again!" Armstrong used Poison Fang! Target Kyurem Roll 6 5 4 + 5 AC 13 Damage 2 bite his ankles!!
Axel	"Great work, Copper!"
Drufle (GM)	Ho Dang! Kyurem takes strike after strike!
Copper	-Poor dragon-
Drufle (GM)	He roars, and glares at the two in front of him. Armstrong sinks his sharp metal teeth into the beast's ankles
Copper	he's still ALIVE? how much HP does this guy have?
Drufle (GM)	Of course he's still alive, are you kidding?
Cici	we are fighting him with tiny things
Copper	sit your ass DOWN dragon! Drufle (GM): Kyurem used Twister! Target Copper Roll 3 6 2 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2 EAT DAMAGE
Cici	that's
Copper	Twister is a DRAGON MOVE YOU FOOL
Cici	still a dragon move
Copper	IT DOES SHIT
Cici	on a fairy type
Copper	ALL
Drufle (GM)	You still take 2 damage!
Copper	GET REKT HARDER
Cici	????????????????????
Drufle (GM)	Because Twister cannot have its damage reduced by any means!
Copper	???
Cici	thats a mechanic weird what a niche move
Copper	that is not a fun mechanic
Drufle (GM)	-1 Damage. Nothing other than this effect can reduce the damage of this attack.
Cici	then
Copper	-1 damage?
Cici	shouldnt it be 1 damage not 2
Copper	waaaait
Drufle (GM)	Oh 1, sorry. I missed that bit.
Cici	well then
Copper	yeahhhh well done, 1 damage are you proud of yourself?
Cici	lmao so thirsty
Drufle (GM)	I wouldn't make Kyurem angry, if I were you.
Cici	thirsty for BLOOD Copper: Copper used Iron Head! Target Kyurem Roll 5 3 6 + 5 AC 13 Damage 3
Drufle (GM)	Things could get... worse.
Cici	oh my god you're really fucking him up
Copper	CAUSE I AIN'T PROUD OF YA!!!
Cici	jesus christ
Drufle (GM)	Man, dat Copper. Copper smashes her head into Kyurem's face
Cici	man his def is really pretty bad tbh
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he has 4 for both defenses. In return for some ridiculous attack stats. Copper gains a massive surge of confidence against the silly dragon
Cici	i guess the massive hp stat was supposed to make up for that
Drufle (GM)	Pretty much! Speaking of which, he is still not down! He's getting there, though.
Cici	im not surprised tbh
Drufle (GM)	Armstrong?
Copper	keep trying
Cici	"Alright... Maybe another Toxic!" Armstrong used Toxic! Target Kyurem Roll 3 5 5 + 5 AC 13 Damage 0 Copper taunts the dragon mercilessly
Cici	hey it actually did hit this time cool he poisoned
Copper	toxic has landed
Drufle (GM)	Kerblap!
Copper	die a slow painful death
Cici	it's just regular poison btw
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I'm aware.
Copper	silly dragon, trix are for keys
Cici	it was just weird for him to be using poisonpowder okay well then
Axel	"This dragon is still standing" "I'm not sure we can keep going for much longer"
Drufle (GM)	Kyurem's eyes glow a bright blue, and he breathes a fine blue mist over the group of you!
Axel	fff is he trying to cheat?
Drufle (GM)	You suddenly feel yourself slowed down!
Cici	"Ah-!"
Axel	ah, Icy Wind WE'RE ALREADY GOING LAST
Drufle (GM)	No, this would be the Slow Field Move.
Axel	so he used his move on that?
Drufle (GM)	Yes, because that means he can now leave!
Axel	Wow, he's running?
Cici	Slow? It's just called Slow
Axel	I mean, I'd have let him run regardless
Cici	I cant beelieve this "Is it just me, or is he running away?"
Axel	"What...is....this...?"
Cici	"...Back the way we came from?"
Axel	EXP for being awesome
Cici	thirst
Professor Hawthorne	"Ok, ok, deep breaths, ok, WOW."
Axel	THE THIRST WILL NEVER DIE ehem sorry
Cici	"Professor!"
Axel	Copper poisoning, it happens
Cici	"What did you think you were doing?!"
Drufle (GM)	I like how Axel doesn't seem to have any concern that Kyurem is headed for Spinel Village.
Axel	"Hawthorn! You're okay!"
Cici	"You could have gotten yourself killed if we hadn't happened along!"
Axel	I'm not paying attention
Professor Hawthorne	"Yes, ok, that's the word we can use for this." Cici is enraged Copper picks up Rochelle
Cici	why does he still sound like barry kremer omfg every single line he says i just mentally read it in barry's voice
Copper	"Kink-kling...?" Copper looks very sad as she holds the cracked rock
Professor Hawthorne	"Look, I just... need to breathe for a sec-HHHHHHFFFFF-alright, much better."
Axel	"Oh...oh no...Rochelle"
Cici	"We need to get back to the Pokemon Center."
Professor Hawthorne	"Holy SHIT did you two see that thing?!"
Cici	"Come ON! We can talk about it later!"
Axel	"I don't CARE about that thing! Rochelle is hurt!!" Cici pulls the Professor back out of the cave by his coat sleeve
Professor Hawthorne	"Oh, right, right, sorry. Here, let me help..." Axel grabs Rochelle and runs off to the center, forgetting to use the pokeball again
Axel	he's already done gne gone
Cici	"Axel, wait!"
Professor Hawthorne	"Ah, well... Alright." "I'll just... meet you there!" Copper watches Axel run off
Cici	"Come on, let's go after him!" Nickel follows, pulling the stunned Copper with magnetism
Cici	"Where did that thing come from?!" "If it heads to the village..."
Professor Hawthorne	"I don't... I don't know!"
Cici	"Come on. Walk and talk." Cici follows the tunnels back from the cavern by memory
Cici	"Am I right in assuming that you went into the mine looking for it?"
Professor Hawthorne	"No!" I wasn't looking for such a beast!" "I mean... I was looking for signs of Legendary Pokemon, but not that thing!" Cici sighs
Cici	"Professor, you have to be more careful!"
Nickel	"Oh no! Its here!"
Cici	"Do you even have any Pokemon with you?"
Nickel	dang it not again
Cici	man im glad nickel gained the gift of speech
Axel	"It! ITS HERE!"
Professor Hawthorne	"Er... No, I seem to have left my pouch back at the Center."
Axel	keep talking like that an I might actually give it to him
Cici	"Damn it..."
Axel	"What do we do!?" Mopp left, right when we needed him
Drufle (GM)	The three of you emerge from the cave, the light blinding your eyes.
Cici	"It's wounded enough that it fled from us... If it's anything like the other creatures we've seen..." "It's probably very afraid, and that makes it dangerous." "We have to drive it out of the town or it could do some serious damage."
Drufle (GM)	You hear the sound of panicking, and you see the massive arctic beast flying over Spinel, breathing ice down upon the village! Copper klangs heroicly
Cici	"Oh no... Case in point." Copper begins floating up to the dragon
Copper	-Round two-
Axel	"Seriously!? Copper, no!"
Cici	"Wait, isn't there a Gym here?" "Where's the Gym Leader? Where are the other strong trainers?" Kyurem whips around and glares at Copper, its eyes gleaming an odd shade of blue.
Professor Hawthorne	"I... I don't know! I was only gone for an hour or so!" "Everything was fine when I left!"
Cici	i cant believe this kyurem has developed a grudge against a klefki
Copper	-My name is Copper von Klefki. You hurt my friend. Prepare to faint. Cici uses Mean Look on Hawthorne Kyurem flies over Copper and attempts to grab the Klefki.
Copper	what?
Cici	"Listen here, mister. When I get back, we are going to have a serious talk about responsibility."
Copper	Copper is the Klefki, ya doof Kyurem: Kyurem used Grab! Target Copper Roll 1 6 5 + 7 AC 15 Damage 0 YOINK
Cici	"Now get to the Pokemon Center! Grab your Pokemon and get all the trainers in there to come out and help!"
Copper	yeah, bad move cause this is a new battle... POINT BLANK FLASH CANNON!!! Professor Hawthorne nods and runs off to the Center. Copper: Copper used Flash Cannon!!! Target Kyurem Roll 1 2 5 + 6 AC 13 Damage 3 that hits bonus for point blank?
Drufle (GM)	It does!
Cici	unless of course you get a penalty from being grabbed
Drufle (GM)	No, no damage.
Cici	but given how flash cannon works id say it shouldnt be an issue really
Copper	no damage?
Drufle (GM)	It does damage, but Kyurem remains in the air!
Cici	you just kinda shoot a lazor
Copper	again? he can't attack me while I'm in his mouth do I try again
Drufle (GM)	A strange glow flows between the two Pokemon in the air...
Copper	uhh
Cici	love CAN blossom, even on the battlefield
Copper	-Ew, no
Drufle (GM)	Kyurem's body takes a more metallic sheen, and odd key-shaped icicles pop out of its side!
Cici	"what"
Copper	-I swear, I will keep flash cannoning you Kyurem tosses Copper away, flying off into the village.
Cici	o_q Copper can FLOAT
Drufle (GM)	Of course he can! Copper: Copper used Flash Cannon!!! Target Kyurem Roll 4 6 5 + 6 AC 13 Damage 2 I'm guessing he gained the Steel Type? so not super-effective?
Drufle (GM)	He sure did! So that does 1 damage!
Copper	no
Drufle (GM)	No?
Copper	which type did he drop? crap
Drufle (GM)	Neither!
Copper	whut? then he's still part ice so normal
Drufle (GM)	Ah, right.
Copper	If he doesn't attack, I fire again
Drufle (GM)	I hope you're aware that you're not actually supposed to win this fight, right?
Copper	Screw that, I'm attacking
Cici	lmao
Drufle (GM)	Alright, go ahead.
Copper	The Copper has assumed direct control Copper used Flash Cannon! Target Kyurem Roll 3 5 5 + 6 AC 13 Damage 2 I haven't missed yet
Drufle (GM)	Well that would hit, if Kyurem wasn't, like, a mile and a half away now.
Cici	"I think it's... leaving."
Copper	-My name is Copper von Klefki! You hurt my friend! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!!- Copper jangles angrily
Cici	"Copper, just let it go." "Even if it did some sort of... weird fusion dance with you." Copper floats back down to the group
Cici	"What was up with that, seriously."
Copper	does Klefki suddenly gain Dragon powers?
Cici	dragonball k Copper shrugs
Copper	"Klinkle"
Drufle (GM)	No, that's not how it works :P
Copper	that'd be cool though I mean, I have dragon type moves in Axel's belt
Cici	i thought when kyurem fused with zekrom/reshiram it absorbed them Professor Hawthorne comes into sight, running back towards the two.
Copper	well, one dragon move
Cici	so shouldnt it have eaten copper
Copper	no he didn't have the DNA splicers so no Professor Hawthorne wheezes and coughs, bending over a bit.
Cici	i dont remember bw2 at all
Professor Hawthorne	"Is... is it gone?
Cici	"It like... gave Copper a weird hug and then it took off."
Axel	"I think so...but it...became Steel type?"
Cici	"It was very uncomfortable."
Professor Hawthorne	"Oh no... it did what?" Copper shudders
Axel	"Uh...steel type..."
Cici	"It like... turned part Klefki or something."
Professor Hawthorne	"Do you understand what this means!?"
Axel	"I couldn't see to well down here"
Cici	"Grew these freaky key-shaped lumps." "Not in the least."
Axel	"I'm not familiar with that part of the legend"
Cici	"Frankly, I'm confused as to why it engaged us in battle again so quickly after fleeing the first time."
Professor Hawthorne	"It means that this iteration of Kyurem has attained the ability to splice itself without artificial contamination!"
Cici	"...Iiiiinteresting?"
Professor Hawthorne	"This is terrible!!!"
Cici	"Isn't Kyurem the beast from Unovan myth?"
Axel	"'The Hollow Dragon' yes"
Cici	"The dragon which split into Reshiram and Zekrom?"
Professor Hawthorne	"No no, Kyurem is the third!"
Axel	"What was left behind, more accurately"
Cici	"How could there be multiple iterations of such a thing?"
Professor Hawthorne	"The shell left without truth or ideals!" "I... I don't know, actually."
Cici	"I mean, I suppose legends aren't always the entire truth."
Professor Hawthorne	"That's why I was investigating rumors!" "It wouldn't make any sense for more than one Kyurem, and yet..."
Cici	"You really need to keep your Pokenav charged, Professor!" Professor Hawthorne looks confused.
Cici	"We've been chasing you all over Galens for days!"
Axel	"Look...this is all very fascinating, and its great to see you again, Hawthorn, but I really need to go" Professor Hawthorne pulls out his Pokenav and looks at it with wide eyes.
Professor Hawthorne	"Well... I seem to have made a grievous mistake."
Cici	>tfw airplane mode Axel rushes of to the Pokemon center Nickel remains with the group Cici sighs
Professor Hawthorne	"I suppose I was a bit too busy..."
Cici	"Let's walk back, shall we?"
Nickel	being invisible
Professor Hawthorne	"Right right, that would be a good idea."
Nickel	-me puts our numbers into the pokenavs
Cici	"We've done a bit of investigating ourselves, along the way here."
Professor Hawthorne	"Oh, is that so?"
Cici	"That's why we were looking for you, actually." "We found a Heatran on Route 1." Nickel hands the Prof his notes
Nickel	"Zzzt zrt" Professor Hawthorne takes the notepad from Nickel and starts flipping through it.
Cici	"Whatever event has been...summoning...or creating...these creatures..."
Nickel	-I haven't finished day 5 yet
Professor Hawthorne	"A Heatran, a Regice, more reported sightings of Legendary Pokemon..."
Cici	"It didn't seem to leave a trace. We found what I think was the cave the Heatran appeared within, and there was nothing there but sheer rock walls." Professor Hawthorne looks in confusion at Cici.
Cici	"It's like it just appeared from nowhere."
Professor Hawthorne	"But... that makes no sense!"
Cici	"Like it was teleported." Nickel pulls out the Orb and shows it to the Prof
Professor Hawthorne	"But there are no teleportation devices set up on Galens yet..." "Oh? What is this?"
Cici	"Maybe an Alakazam, or a group of other powerful Psychic types..."
Nickel	"Zzzzrrrt"
Cici	"Oh, right." Professor Hawthorne feels over the ball, and his face darkens considerably.
Cici	"We bumped into a Regice in a cave below this one on the mountain." "It seemed like it was patrolling the tunnels there."
Professor Hawthorne	"This... this is very wrong. Very, very wrong." "Did the Regice give you this?"
Cici	"It helped us leave the cave and gave us this orb as what I can only assume is a warning."
Nickel	"Bzzt"
Cici	"Or a threat."
Professor Hawthorne	"Hm..."
Cici	"It does seem rather... dark, doesn't it."
Professor Hawthorne	"Someone or something is afraid..."
Cici	"I've never heard of a Regi communicating with humans like this before." "Perhaps whatever it's protecting is sending this message out?"
Nickel	"Bzzzzrt?"
Professor Hawthorne	"Possibly... or it might have its own agenda." "Legendary Pokemon are quite intelligent, you see." Nickel begins writing notes in Hawthorne's notebook Cici nods slowly
Cici	"I suppose we can't really presume to know their goals..."
Nickel	-Almost as intelligent as myself-
Professor Hawthorne	"It's hard to tell with so little information, but there is a third possibility, I suppose."
Cici	"What do you mean?"
Professor Hawthorne	"The Regice was giving you this as a message from itself, not from whoever put it there."
Cici	"But why?" "We couldn't have talked to it for more than a few seconds..."
Professor Hawthorne	"It is unlikely that a creature as powerful as a Regice would threaten you with words rather than power..."
Cici	"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Nickel	"Zzzzrrrbt"
Cici	"It didn't seem particularly fazed by us in the slightest."
Professor Hawthorne	"So if this is indeed a message from Regice itself, then it is likely to be a warning."
Nickel	Did we get EXP in that last fight? I fogot
Cici	thirst
Drufle (GM)	Good lord, kid.
Nickel	Nickel hasn't drank all day
Drufle (GM)	Yes, you both got 2 exp.
Nickel	yay
Professor Hawthorne	"But why it would warn you... I have no idea."
Nickel	we still haven't had a chance to catch anything
Professor Hawthorne	"There is something very wrong with Galens at the moment."
Nickel	are we where Axel is? Or still walking?
Drufle (GM)	Yes, we have returned to the Center by now. I imagine.
Nickel	oh derp
Cici	"What do you think we should do?" "I mean, we can't exactly go back to work with this all going on..." Axel is standing by the counter, waiting for Rochelle to be healed
Professor Hawthorne	"I... I have no idea, truly."
Axel	*he's been standing there for a while
Professor Hawthorne	"Whatever released a Kyurem into those mines, it doesn't seem too concerned about these peoples' wellfare." Axel is deep in thought, or perhaps worry, or both
Professor Hawthorne	"I think the best option right now... would be to simply gain power."
Axel	the gym? fite fite fite
Professor Hawthorne	"You and the others were planning on touring the continent anyway, right?"
Cici	"Training, huh?" "I have been working on the Pokedex..."
Professor Hawthorne	"We need powerful Trainers to match whatever is sending these Legendary Pokemon at us."
Cici	"I guess you're right."
Professor Hawthorne	"I would offer my help, but I think I have an idea I should pursue myself..."
Cici	"We should probably contact all the Gym Leaders, as well."
Professor Hawthorne	"Yes, of course."
Axel	"I know the leader here...old friend..."
Cici	"Do you know if they've started building the League yet?"
Professor Hawthorne	"There are seven gyms founded and officiated at the moment."
Cici	"Really, Axel? We should head over there right away, probably."
Professor Hawthorne	"The Elite Four is still in quite the state of disarray, unfortunately."
Axel	"No...Rochelle is still in the back" "I can't leave her"
Cici	"I wonder if they're going to import all 4 of them, or recruit them from the Gym Leader candidates." "Of course, Axel. We can wait for her."
Axel	"..."
Professor Hawthorne	"They've been very hush-hush about the project, so I have no idea myself."
Cici	"Why don't you sit down?"
Axel	"Thank you, Cici"
Cici	"She'll be okay."
Professor Hawthorne	"And yes, it would be in your best interests to go talk to Frederick." Axel sits down on a couch
Professor Hawthorne	"He's a bit odd, but if anyone knows Ice Pokemon, it'd be him." "For now, however... I think I'll sit down in my room."
Cici	"I wonder where he was when Kyurem was flying around?" Rochelle is brought out, looking a bit worse for wear, but healed
Professor Hawthorne	"Knowing him, he was probably skiing."
Cici	"Wait, Professor. Let's swap Pokenav numbers." Axel jumps up and picks up Rochelle
Cici	"Try to keep it charged from now on, okay...?" Professor Hawthorne nods and hands Cici his Pokenav.
Professor Hawthorne	"Yes, yes, of course."
Cici	"...Alright, should be okay."
Professor Hawthorne	"Good... I'm going to lay down." "I'm suddenly very tired." Cici chuckles Axel sits down with Rochelle in his lap
Cici	"Being in a life-threatening situation can do that to a person."
Axel	"We are all tired" Professor Hawthorne walks off into the back, holding his back for a moment.
Cici	"I'll call Aidan and tell him you're okay. He was worried sick." Professor Hawthorne waves off-handedly back at the group.
Axel	"I guess we head off to the gym?" Cici sighs
Cici	"Let me call Aidan first." "He ought to know what's going on."
Axel	"Okay"
Nurse Joy	"So... what happened outside?"
Axel	"Hell on earth, mam" "the cold kind"
Nurse Joy	"I heard shouting, but I thought it best to stay inside..." Cici goes off and makes a phone call with exposition we all already know
Cici	covering phone with hand "Hey Axel, can you look outside and tell me how bad the damage is?"
Axel	"Ummm, sure" Axel checks outside Axel: Attention Check: 13 I...uhg
Drufle (GM)	Place is fuckin' ICE. SO much ice.
Cici	you dont really have to pay attention to notice the giant ice pillars and shit
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, it's just.
Axel	"Everything appears to be completely frozen..."
Drufle (GM)	It's pretty bad.
Axel	"Not snowed over, just solid"
Drufle (GM)	Entire buildings seem to have been frozen over.
Cici	"Oh, I hope no one was trapped in there..."
Axel	"We need fire-type help" If only I had a Numel
Cici	"Who am I kidding. There's no way there aren't any casualties from that kind of attack." "Ugh, okay..."
Drufle (GM)	Suddenly, a strange-looking man bursts into the Center.
Cici	"Yeah, Aidan, it's pretty bad." Axel falls over
Frederick	"Yo, Joy! We got any medicine in here?"
Axel	"oooph
Frederick	"Oh sorry man I was just... Axel?"
Axel	"Erg...Frederick?" Cici still phone conversation
Frederick	"Wow, the fuck're you doin' way up here?"
Cici	"Mhm. Yeah, sure." Cici side-eyes the obnoxiously loud man who has just walked in
Axel	"Nearly dying to an ice/dragon, mostly" "but also finding our wayward professor"
Frederick	"Yeah man, I saw that comin' up from the slopes!"
Cici	"I think I should call you back in a bit, Aidan. I'll tell you once we've figured out how to thaw the town out." "Alright, bye." Cici hangs up
Frederick	"I gotta get some ethers from the lady, I'm workin' on this ice!"
Axel	"Are there any fire types I can look for in the area?"
Cici	"Axel? Is this a friend of yours?"
Frederick	"Fire? Naw man, I got Ice types!"
Axel	"Huh? Oh yeah, Cici, this is Freddy" Frederick turns to the other person in the room.
Axel	"He's the Gym Leader and a childhood friend"
Frederick	"Oh, uh, hey there, you're one of Hawthorne's other kids right?"
Axel	"I helped him build his gym a while back"
Cici	"Yessir."
Frederick	"You got any Ice types?"
Cici	"Cici. Nice to meet you."
Axel	Freddy is about to flirt with Cici, isn't he
Cici	"Nothing but bugs and Trubbish, I'm afraid."
Axel	he strikes me as the type
Frederick	"Pah, alright. Hey Joy!" Frederick runs past the two to the back room.
Cici	he's busy trying to save people who are dying in a giant iceberg so id certainly hope not
Axel	it seems I was wrong for now Frederick runs past the two again a few minutes later with a handful of small potions.
Cici	"Anything we can do to help?" Axel falls over again
Frederick	"Seeya later gotta undo some ice BYE"
Axel	"Just...like old times" *keep in mind that Rochelle falls onto his chest every time he falls Frederick bursts back into the cold.
Cici	"...Well, it seems like he has things under control."
Axel	"He's capable, certainly." Nurse Joy walks back out from the back, decidedly confused.
Axel	"I would like to help with the ice"
Nurse Joy	"Was that Frederick?"
Cici	"He was looking for Ether."
Axel	"Yep"
Nurse Joy	"Ah, I was wondering why someone suddenly grabbed an armful of medicine and ran off."
Cici	"If he's looking for Ice types, maybe Brunt could do something..." "Oh, we should really let Jack get rest."
Axel	"Yeah..."
Nurse Joy	"For now... you should probably just get some rest."
Axel	"Hey, Nurse Joy? What kind of mons can we find here?"
Nurse Joy	"Trust me, with an armful of Ethers, Frederick could move glaciers." "Pokemon? Well quite a few, really." "Ice types, Rock, Fighting, you name it."
Axel	"Anything of the Primordial type?"
Nurse Joy	"Despite being in the middle of nowhere, this is quite the diverse region."
Axel	"Fire, Electric, Dragon?"
Nurse Joy	"Ah... Yes!" "I believe some Fire and Dragon types live a little lower down, closer to the other summit."
Axel	"Thank you, I'll keep that in mind"
Cici	"I suppose while the kids are getting some rest we can go out and search for more Pokemon..." "I think right about now I could go for some lunch, though."
Nurse Joy	"Oh of course, would you like some food?"
Axel	"Ah...we missed our meals didn't we?" Nurse Joy smacks a button behind the counter and a counter pops out beside Cici. Axel is startled
Nurse Joy	"Help yourself! We have a number of local dishes." Axel: Attention Check: 13
Cici	"Oh, lovely!"
Axel	tell me what dishes I remember
Cici	"I could go for just about anything right now, to be honest. I'm famished."
Axel	so I may order
Clara	>:O
Cici	"...Clara is also famished." Nickel hooks up to a power plug and recharges
Copper	-What do I even eat? Keys?
Cici	dragons
Drufle (GM)	You remember that Spinel food is a lot of fatty dishes, mostly for the cold weather. Lots of red meat and fish, with few vegetables.
Axel	Axel needs some meat on his bones wait, Fish? from where? "Uhh...I'd like the fish, please" "That was a good dish, if I recall..."
Drufle (GM)	No questions about the food! All the food is already on the counter anyway. Take whatever you like. Nickel begins to write an essay of questions about food Axel begins eating the fish Cici pulls some food aside for all her Pokemon
Cici	"Alright, gang, try not to make a mess." Terry immediately begins making a mess
Cici	"What did I JUST SAY" Copper ,being the only one of Axel's mons with a mouth, begins eating Terry :U
Copper	"Chomp chomp chomp"
Drufle (GM)	And so the party ate. And yea, it was delicious. Probably.
Copper	-As expected-
Drufle (GM)	I dunno, I have no idea what your tastes are.
Axel	I don't know that the food tastes like, so we're even
Cici	im really weirdly tired
Drufle (GM)	At this point, it is afternoon.
Cici	zzz lets fight somethin
Drufle (GM)	Say, 1-2 pm. Yes, I'm getting to that!
Axel	alright is there a way to increase the chance of certain types of mons?
Drufle (GM)	Hm... Attention, I suppose. Name a type.
Axel	Well, lets go for either Fire or Dragon they both get Fire Moves I think
Drufle (GM)	Well either way, roll! Axel: Attention Check: 8
Drufle (GM)	Ah.
Axel	I... :(
Drufle (GM)	That's another 1 exp for you!
Axel	Cici, halp?
Drufle (GM)	Well you aren't finding any Fire or Dragon types. That's for sure.
Axel	now hold on, it lowers the chance?
Drufle (GM)	With that kind of roll?
Axel	I thought it just left it standard?
Drufle (GM)	I'm going to say yes.
Axel	more sadfaice
Drufle (GM)	If you had just slightly failed, it would be normal. But that was a pretty hardcore failure.
Axel	Cici, you are my only hope undo my terribleness I feel bad that I've gotten EXP from failures 3 times so far Cici: Attention Check: 9 lmao
Axel	one last session, two this session
Drufle (GM)	Well, your luck is clearly pointed. Wow!
Axel	AUGH
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, no Fire or Dragon types for you guys.
Axel	I have no chance
Cici	that wasnt even that low of a roll my stat is just 4
Drufle (GM)	It was below a 10!
Axel	I failed misserably
Drufle (GM)	And thus not good.
Axel	I can only hope for something I can even TRAIN
Cici	ugh god this cupcake has been in my fridge for i dont remember how many days but too long
Drufle (GM)	We are really not in the right part for Cici to catch things. Unless...
Cici	i nearly choked on it
Drufle (GM)	We count this as part Forest as well.
Cici	snover
Drufle (GM)	Cici, would you like to pick a type?
Cici	snover
Axel	We've have to catch a snover for Jack too
Drufle (GM)	Ok well, that would work I suppose.
Axel	ugh
Drufle (GM)	Roll one more Attention to look for Snover.
Cici	ok but seriously with just 2 of us here
Axel	I get nothing from this then
Cici	ill catch something and then give it to someone else as a gift Attention Check: 14
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I figured. Wow.
Cici	s n o v e r
Axel	I can't...my luck I have none I fail forever
Drufle (GM)	Are you kidding! You didn't miss a single shot on Kyurem!
Axel	Kyurem stole it I want it back where is that stupid dragon
Drufle (GM)	Alright, lemme set up the encounter.
Cici	lol
Axel	Nickel, set phasers to Obliterate
Nickel	-Missiles Armed-
Axel	Atta boy
Cici	"Axel, let's see if we can locate some pine forest." "I'm interested in... one particular species." "The giant pine tree kind of species."
Axel	"I...don't...umm...alrighty"
Cici	"The Professor said we should fill out the Pokedex, right? That's what we'll do!"
Axel	I am still bummed that I can't catch anything "We also have to train..." "And get stronger"
Cici	"This is practically killing 2 birds with one stone, really."
Axel	I'm not even going to get full EXP!! NOOO Unless I deliberately use Rochelle
Cici	"...Okay, so I kind of just really want to fight something after how that last battle ended?" why wont you get full exp
Axel	it won't be a hard enough fight for me Most of my team are ice/grass obliterators
Cici	rock is good against ice too yknow i dont think grass resists...
Axel	but grass is supereffective right back
Cici	oh who cares it's all DM discretion anyway i doubt drufle would screw you out of exp unless you like, ohko his pokemon before he can move
Axel	After what just happened, there is no way Axel will send Rochelle into this fight I'm afraid that will happen, Cici
Cici	maybe it'll be multiple species! let's see what happens
Axel	unless I pick on the weakling multiple species would be night
Cici	very well if there's an abomasnow you can fight that
Axel	er, pick on the aboma I meant we'll see
Cici	strongling
Axel	actually, a 4 HP aboma would die to Nickel instantly High SP ATK 4 damage flash cannon
Drufle (GM)	Yikes. Yeah, you're right.
Axel	I might use Copper this battle to avoid overkill also, she probably wants to keep fighting she just rekt a dragon, she's wants more
Drufle (GM)	Alright!
Axel	Copper has massive bragging rights now
Drufle (GM)	BOO
Axel	SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNXXXXXXX!!!!!! THE GREAT GOD DRUFLE HATH SMILED ON ME THIS DAY!!
Cici	noice
Drufle (GM)	Turns out, Electric types actually show up in Frozen biomes. For some bizarre reason.
Cici	"Oh my, a Shinx!"
Drufle (GM)	And one of the 8 options is Shinx!
Axel	that makes about as little sense as I care for it to make right now
Cici	"Look, it's hiding under those trees!" "...Not trees!"
Axel	"oh...I see it...wait..." "Is that..."
Drufle (GM)	A small Shinx is crawling under a Snover, and nearby an Abomasnow rests its eyes lazily.
Axel	"Ummm...do you think we can do this peacefully?" Cici approaches slowly
Copper	-BORED NOW- "KLING KLING KLING!!"
Cici	"I wonder what a Shinx is doing way up here..."
Axel	"Copper no!"
Cici	"And away from its family, especially."
Drufle (GM)	The Abomasnow's eyes snap open. It turns towards the source of the klinging, confused.
Cici	"God, Copper, you're really out for blood today."
Axel	Copper is needed on field -YO!! I just beat a dragon!- woops thankfully those wern't quotes
Drufle (GM)	The two playing Pokemon look up at the floating key monster.
Copper	-Yo!! Wassup!?-
Snover	-???????-
Copper	-How's it hanging. Just beat a dragon, no big deal-
Snover	-????????????????- Cici looks at Axel
Copper	-Don't tell me you don't speak pokemon-
Cici	"...?????"
Drufle (GM)	The Pokemon don't seem particularly impressed.
Copper	-That ruins everything-
Cici	"What do you think they're..."
Axel	"I'm...not sure either"
Snover	-what, what's a dragon?-
Copper	-Giant monster- -Froze an entire human village SOLID-
Snover	-oh, like mom!- Snover turns to the Abomasnow still looking strangely at the intruders.
Copper	-Seriously?- -Okay...look- Copper turns to the Abomasnow
Copper	-You saw it, right? Flying in the sky?- Cici giggles a little bit
Abomasnow	-I've been sleeping for the past time. I'd appreciate it if I could continue doing so.-
Cici	"I don't know what's happening here at all, but Copper seems awfully frustrated."
Copper	-Well thanks for ruining my fun- -Alright, you know how this works. Trainer versus Wild. Lets get this over with!- Copper prepares for battle
Cici	"...????????????"
Abomasnow	-No thank you, I'm feeling quite tired today. Son, would you like to take care of this? Your friend can join in if he'd like.- Cici has no idea what's happening
Cici	"Clara, do you have any-"
Clara	>:I Snover nods excitedly.
Clara	Clara doesn't care.
Cici	"...Okay."
Copper	-Alright, you ready for some battles?- -I like you, kid, ya got spunk-
Axel	so aboma sits this one out?
Drufle (GM)	Mhm! She's quite tired.
Axel	cool
Drufle (GM)	It's been a long day.
Axel	Copper somehow made things easier for us Copper motions for Armstrong to join in
Drufle (GM)	So who fights who? Hm?
Copper	is that Armsrtong? I have Snover, I guess Armstrong sullenly walks forwards
Drufle (GM)	That's Terry.
Copper	wait, this thing dies instanding
Drufle (GM)	But nice try.
Copper	instantly
Cici	armstrong was the one i had out tho ??
Drufle (GM)	In the caves, yes.
Copper	They need some kind of marking
Drufle (GM)	This one is Terry for some reason.
Cici	i cant believe youve retrubbed me
Drufle (GM)	That one is Armstrong.
Copper	Seriously, we need a way to tell them apart
Drufle (GM)	Not that they actually have any stat differences.
Cici	ill give them anime eyes or something they have different high stats
Copper	like, a dot, a tag, anything
Cici	so they have different movepools
Copper	I can't see highstats yours at least
Drufle (GM)	My Speed is 4!
Cici	terry is speed, chloe is spdef, armstrong is def
Copper	5
Drufle (GM)	I'm slow!
Cici	armstrong also 4
Copper	roll off!
Drufle (GM)	rolling 1d6( 1 ) = 1
Cici	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
Copper	welp
Drufle (GM)	Noice.
Cici	woo
Drufle (GM)	Copper?
Copper	this might not last long
Cici	wait are both of htem 4
Drufle (GM)	They use Abomasnow's stats.
Copper	-Lets go, kid!-
Cici	ah "Alright, I guess we're fighting now." Cici shrug Copper: Copper used Flash Cannon! Target Snover Roll 2 1 5 + 6 AC 14 Damage 3 miss
Drufle (GM)	Oof. Armstrong? Copper fires off a shot, but misses
Cici	avalanche triggered by whiffed laser
Copper	-That was a warning- -Trust me-
Cici	"Give it a Poison Sting, Armstrong!" Armstrong used Poison Sting! Target Shinx Roll 4 5 3 + 5 AC 13 Damage 1
Axel	"Copper, what are you even..."
Cici	chance to poison!
Drufle (GM)	You have to roll 1d6 for chance. Armstrong spits small barbs right into the Shinx's face!
Drufle (GM)	Hit on high.
Cici	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2
Drufle (GM)	Nope!
Cici	wop wop wop
Drufle (GM)	1 damage to Sphinx!
Copper	-Alright, lets see what ya got, kid-
Cici	sphinx
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, sphinx!
Copper	Name confirmed
Drufle (GM)	Look, I'm multitasking here.
Cici	lmao just beat us up already Drufle (GM): Snover used Leech Seed! Target Copper Roll 4 2 1 + 6 AC 15 Damage 0 Nuts. Snover is bad at hitting things!
Copper	-Okay, a grass move, I can work with this-
Drufle (GM)	Shinx uses Charge!
Copper	uh oh
Drufle (GM)	The little guy starts glowing with electricity. Copper? Copper: Copper used Flash Cannon! Target Snover Roll 2 2 3 + 6 AC 14 Damage 3 I just...
Drufle (GM)	Still a miss!
Cici	flash miss
Copper	I told you, that Dragon stole my luck
Cici	oh no wait
Drufle (GM)	Kyurem took literally everything out of you.
Cici	miss cannon better name
Drufle (GM)	Armstrong?
Copper	-Okay, fine, that miss wasn't intentional- -Ya caught me-
Cici	"Alright, let's go for a Sludge Bomb!" sludge bomb hits all pokemon in battle, but copper is immune! 10 outta 10
Copper	woo perfect team synergy
Drufle (GM)	Ok I would like to point out something here.
Cici	i guess i... attack twice?
Drufle (GM)	Immunity doesn't remove all damage in PPP. It just does -2 damage.
Cici	it only hits for 2 anyway
Drufle (GM)	Yeah I know.
Copper	Armstrong doesn't have SP ATK highstat
Cici	but thats a good point
Drufle (GM)	I just want to make sure that's clear.
Copper	I'm fine Calm down, Druf
Cici	lmao CALM DOWN GOD okay so uh
Drufle (GM)	I'm pointing out facts!
Cici	do i roll twice, or just roll once, and check against each AC?
Copper	Its okay Druf
Drufle (GM)	Facts that could potentially be helpful! uh Hm.
Copper	"helpful" is a relative term
Drufle (GM)	I'm not sure how multi-target moves hit.
Cici	'act as though you had targeted every pokemon'
Drufle (GM)	I think you roll once.
Cici	i guess i roll once then
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Copper	probably role for both really?
Cici	ill do it on shinx and then we can look at snover's AC as well i guess
Copper	I guess they have the same? they have the same AC
Drufle (GM)	Well they both have the same AC. Cici: Armstrong used Sludge Bomb! Target Shinx Roll 4 4 3 + 4 AC 14 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	So if it hits one, it hits the other.
Copper	I think you should check both
Drufle (GM)	Which it does not.
Cici	bugger special moves amirite
Copper	this is going to be a long fight
Drufle (GM)	Snover!
Copper	-I got a feeling that this will take a while- Drufle (GM): Snover used Leech Seed! Target Armstrong Roll 5 6 1 + 6 AC 15 Damage 0
Cici	man they have really high spdef
Drufle (GM)	HRK
Cici	ow that actually hit
Copper	welp, I'm leaving Switching out I'm not fit for this shit
Drufle (GM)	Alright, so Leech Seed.
Cici	shit for hit
Drufle (GM)	Snover gets back 1 hp every turn, and all his NVE moves get turned into NE.
Copper	Yep, I'm leaving I'm not giving this tree health
Cici	no that was on me not you
Drufle (GM)	Well I targeted Armstrong.
Copper	-What is this plant? I'm made of steel, how does this even work- or wait, really? did not notice
Cici	yes it's eating trash
Copper	-Huh, nice shot-
Cici	can you switch to get rid of leech seed Drufle (GM): Shinx used Thundershock! Target Armstrong Roll 1 5 4 + 6 AC 15 Damage 3
Copper	oh dear This is not team synergy
Drufle (GM)	I didn't even need that Charge.
Cici	"Armstrong!"
Drufle (GM)	Also yes, you can switch out to get rid of Leech Seed. Armstrong crumples like a sack of potatoes
Drufle (GM)	Not that it helped Snover at all.
Copper	-Hey! Shinx! What are you doing!? You just made your friend's Leech Seed useless!-
Cici	I'm gonna assume that was a spatk high? As well as the charge?
Drufle (GM)	Well the charge actually doubles damage.
Cici	oh wow
Copper	-Communicate!-
Drufle (GM)	That was just the SPATK
Cici	owie
Nickel	"Zzzzt"
Drufle (GM)	Next? Nickel gives Copper a Stern Look
Cici	"Get in there, Clara!"
Clara	>:[
Nickel	gotta take that Snover down NOW Clara reluctantly Gets In There
Drufle (GM)	Well it's Copper's turn. Hit something! Copper: Copper used FLASH CANNON DAMN IT! Target Snover Roll 6 1 6 + 6 AC 14 Damage 3
Drufle (GM)	There you go. Out goes Snover!
Copper	-I can feel my anger flowing Copper launches a particularly powerful Flash Cannon
Copper	-There we go!-
Drufle (GM)	Clara?
Copper	-Ya did alright, kid- Copper jingles victoriously Clara lazily turns and then quickly unleashes a Razor Leaf Clara: Clara used Razor Leaf! Target Shinx Roll 3 1 6 + 5 AC 13 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	Hit!
Copper	nice hit
Drufle (GM)	Poor little Shinx.
Copper	thats a downed shinx then
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Cici	"Whew." "Armstrong, are you feeling okay?"
Copper	-Alright, Abomasnow, what say you?- Armstrong is still vibrating slightly
Cici	"Ohhh dear. Get in the pokeball, buddy." "We'll get you all healed up soon." yeah whats up with the abomasnow we just kicked the shit out of her kid
Abomasnow	-Well, that was entertaining. Taught the kids something I suppose.-
Axel	"I'm not sure what this is even about" Cici reaches for a pokeball, then hesitates
Copper	-I guess I have to ask, or not, I guess, but my trainer will likely want these kids to travel with them-
Cici	"Oh, shoot."
Copper	-Ya know how Trainers work-
Cici	"We can't just drag them away with us... They're so small." "Axel, why do I feel guilty about catching Pokemon? Trainers aren't supposed to feel guilty..."
Abomasnow	-Of course. What say you, child? Would you like to go adventuring a bit?-
Axel	"I think Copper is still talking with them" Snover shrugs and nods.
Axel	"I don't know what they're saying"
Cici	"Hey, that Snover's getting back up!"
Abomasnow	-Good. Take your friend with you, then. I'll come check on you in a time.- Cici walks over to it
Cici	"Easy there." "You took a flash cannon to the gut."
Copper	-Sorry about the harsh Cannon, but battles are battles, ya know?- Cici looks Copper dead in the eyes
Cici	"..."
Copper	-Shinx, head over to the scruffy looking human, he wants ya- Copper returns Cici's look
Cici	"Yeah I have absolutely no idea what's going on in your little noggin."
Copper	"Kling?" Cici sighs and pats the little fairy a bit
Copper	capture rate? recomended ball?
Cici	"Nice work today, kiddo." Cici looks after the departing Abomasnow
Drufle (GM)	Capture rate... Copper jingles happily
Drufle (GM)	I need to put those in, hm?
Cici	"...I guess they want to come with us?" Axel kneels down
Axel	"Uhh...hello..."
Cici	"...Man, I will never understand Pokemon." Axel pulls out a pokeball
Drufle (GM)	I was planning on just giving them to you, but you can catch them if you like.
Axel	I mean, we could just make this auto-caputure Shinx can't have that high of a catch rate anyways Cici sighs and holds out a Pokeball Axel holds out pokeball for the Shinx
Cici	"Here. Why don't I take you back to the Pokemon Center?"
Drufle (GM)	Snover is actually a 34, dang.
Axel	wow
Drufle (GM)	The two Pokemon happily hop into the Pokeballs!
Cici	i love how they just got up and are like 'what a nice fight' and we like
Axel	"I'll take good care of you, I promise"
Cici	fucking shot them and tore them apart with razor sharp blades pokemon
Axel	Klefki was quite informative maybe
Cici	i like to imagine that nickel could translate but hes too offended by klefki to do so hes just like 'ugh how crass'
Drufle (GM)	There we go.
Nickel	It would be a slow translation I'd have to write everything
Drufle (GM)	I think you should be able to control them. Hopefully. Cici recalls her Pokemon
Cici	"Let's head back. We've been gone for a while. I hope no one's been looking for us."
Drufle (GM)	Well wait, what about treasure? Anyone want loot? Walter exits his ball
Walter	-Yoooo!-
Axel	loot would be good
Cici	i cant believe the star of breaking bad has joined our adventure walter the meth shinx
Axel	can we channel the power of Jack, or do we do this ourselves
Drufle (GM)	Well you have the Itemfinder. But you have to use your own Aptitude.
Cici	"Wait, hold on. This thing Jack gave me is acting up."
Drufle (GM)	Or Attention. Sorry.
Walter	-This is a fiiiine crowd, ya hear?-
Cici	so what do i do, roll aptitude?
Walter	Attention first Cici: Aptitude Check: 12 Attention Check: 15 wow
Walter	that works
Cici	good job, me [me] thanks
Drufle (GM)	Alright uh.
Cici	"I think there's something over here... or is it over here...?"
Drufle (GM)	Well that's not actually a treasure!
Cici	"Oh wow there's a lot of things."
Drufle (GM)	A 15 is a Sanctuary!
Walter	-Smells of loot! Glorious loot!- oh snap MORE pokemon?
Cici	i cant believe the itemfinder detects pokemon
Drufle (GM)	So uh.
Axel	It was your attention roll
Drufle (GM)	Do we want to do that right now?
Axel	so you have to set up MORE mons
Drufle (GM)	More Pokemon catching?
Cici	...can we like
Axel	I can keep going
Cici	come back with the rest of the party
Axel	its up to cici
Drufle (GM)	Yeah let's
Axel	yeah, sounds good
Drufle (GM)	Do that another time.
Cici	i feel like we're awkwardly ahead now
Drufle (GM)	With more people. Yeah, I agree.
Axel	Question: Will Streak have access to these Santuraries?
Cici	"...There's some sort of giant chasm in the ice here."
Drufle (GM)	The ones you're in? No.
Axel	like, if he came up here, could he visit this one?
Drufle (GM)	He can find his own though.
Cici	"...Let's not fall down any more holes."
Drufle (GM)	Well, uh, maybe?
Axel	"I said I was sorry...I think"
Cici	"I'll mark it, for later." Walter peaks over the edge
Cici	"So we don't fall in it if we head back this way."
Walter	"Mrrrrow"
Drufle (GM)	I'll play the nice music though. As a consolation.
Walter	yaaaaay
Cici	"...Yeah, looks like all the little dots are down there." "Guess we can check it out later."
Axel	"Sounds like a plan"
Cici	"Hm..." "Hey, Chloe."
Chloe	que passa i used too many s's by mistake so now it looks like i cant speak spanish
Axel	ya gotta name the Snover
Chloe	despite being a fluent bilingual piece of trash
Cici	"Can you mark this spot for us?"
Chloe	si Nickel gives Cici a look, and then marks it down on his own map
Nickel	"Zzzt"
Drufle (GM)	Why uh Nickel puts his notebook away
Drufle (GM)	Why is Chloe Spanish? Chloe pulls a particularly rusty tin can off her left arm
Nickel	Why not?
Cici	"Great idea!" Cici places the can right at the cave's edge, right in plain sight
Cici	"Hopefully that'll stay a while." chloe isnt actually spanish the lowercase is all noncanon
Nickel	What we need is a place for Cici's pokedex entries cause I can't see em
Drufle (GM)	Nice marking mechanism.
Cici	theyre under the character sheets so you totally can i do gotta name the snover im still thinkin tho
Nickel	I can't see any you make for other's pokemon
Cici	really? i thought i could read other peoples' sheets before getting the extra permissions man i gotta finish nickels pokedex still
Nickel	I don't know how you are writing these entries
Cici	mega awk i forgot i broke off mid sentence on that one lmao
Nickel	oh, I was looking in the wrong places
Cici	yeah you can see em! tada
Nickel	Magnemite, the Magnet Pokemon
Cici	nickels is disgustingly barely started rip
Drufle (GM)	So uh. Are we done for tonight?
Cici	we went back to town then!! horay
Nickel	who else has been done? town time
Drufle (GM)	Ah right, let's head back to town.
Cici	good question most of my pokemon
Nickel	wooper or Zoop
Cici	ralts, wooper, litwick
Nickel	hmm, you added natures?
Cici	golurk had natures for his so i put them in
Nickel	or did Golurk do that?
Cici	nobody else did tho
Nickel	I see
Cici	yeah i think we might be done lmao im pretty tuckered out
Nickel	I should probably do that
Drufle (GM)	I mean I have other things to do but they certainly can't be done in 30 minutes.
Titan	i exist
Drufle (GM)	So let's stop it here. Titan, eh?
Cici	id rather not do much more without the rest of the crew too okay lets get a nice nap then
Drufle (GM)	Well as it seems... We might be cut down to 3. I hope that's fine with everyone. Unless we can manage to somehow work out better timezone scheduling.
Cici	You Gotta
Nickel	if Golurk stops, then Axel will be the only one left doing gym challanges
Drufle (GM)	And Will! He's just doing things his own way.
Nickel	well, yes, Will but he's on his own journey
Drufle (GM)	Mhm. Alright, we're done here. Everyone back to IRC!
