Drufle (GM)	this is session 6 right
Horanoven A.	I think so???
Drufle (GM)	i am so lost at this point i feel like a youtuber "we're on like episode 405 now right"
Jack	Dan getting the episode number wildy wrong
Horanoven A.	if we are having a session sunday, I need to know when
Drufle (GM)	i'll just say 6 for now
Horanoven A.	sunday is laundry day 6:00pm? oh, session 6 woops
Drufle (GM)	we can like work out times later Session 6, Start! Let's get this train moving.
Horanoven A.	evil trains >:(
Drufle (GM)	Get in character ya nut.
Walter	Sure why not?
Drufle (GM)	So last time a number of things happened!
Walter	:D
Cici	yeah i otter do some laundry
Copper	Dragon asses were kicked
Drufle (GM)	Most important being a horrible ice dragon glaciating most of a town.
Copper	Professors were found well, one
Cici	remember when we killed kyurem, and copper absorbed its soul, revealing itself as the dragonborn
Drufle (GM)	Him too, yes.
Cici	that was cool
Drufle (GM)	:P
Copper	yes please I wanna be dragonborn
Drufle (GM)	It's funny because almost the exact opposite happened.
Cici	dovahkey
Copper	give me dragon moves
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, I think it's the next day?
Copper	did we sleep??? we might have
Drufle (GM)	If I remember correctly, it was rather late when Axel and Cici went off Poke-hunting.
Cici	we meditated in a silent vigil all night
Drufle (GM)	So I think it's probably the next day now, yes. Whether that's 6 or 7, I don't really know.
Copper	so I'm guessing we went back to get Jack
Cici	i wonder what mopp and golurk were up to or if they actually slept for like
Copper	slept
Cici	12 hours
Copper	and now are heading to the Santuary
Cici	through the entire day santauary
Jack	"Hello friends I am all better now"
Drufle (GM)	Well Jack was slowly dying of the common cold.
Cici	power sleep
Jack	"I managed to avoid freexing!"
Axel	don't you need to say SESSION START?
Drufle (GM)	I did.
Axel	I missed it
Drufle (GM)	Like 5 minutes ago.
Jack	"Romain got bored and left"
Drufle (GM)	pffff
Jack	"took the Ice Bus"
Cici	i figured he turned into his vampire bat form and flew away
Axel	Zubatform
Jack	he just disappeared was he ever alive???
Drufle (GM)	Through some means of travel, Romain has left the village! It was all in your mind OooOOOOOOoooOOo
Axel	"Jack, why'd you stay here?"
Jack	"It's not like running into the trackless forest would be any safer!"
Drufle (GM)	Boy's got a point. Not smart to do a lot of wandering 'round these parts.
Axel	"Hrm...alright"
Drufle (GM)	But it was rather beneficial to some, as we have a few more Pokemon!
Jack	"I'm guessin that all this leads back to you, right?" jack doesn't know what went down
Axel	"In my defense, we had just been attacked by a dragon" "And Cici dragged me into the forest"
Walter	-Sup?-
Drufle (GM)	We are just Covered in Pokemon now. Look at all of 'em.
Cici	muttering "coffee coffee coffee coffee" Cici chugs mug
Cici	"Ah, good morning!"
Drufle (GM)	You can't do that, aren't you the one that woke up at like 6 to cook breakfast? Walter sneaks over and laps up some of Cici's coffee
Cici	because i had coffee obviously
Jack	"Good morning?! half the down is literally a block of ice!"
Drufle (GM)	Oh, well of course.
Jack	"chaos reigns!!"
Axel	"Well yes...that would be the dragon"
Drufle (GM)	To be fair, Frederick has been doing a pretty good job of removing the ice.
Cici	"And it's a beautiful day for a horrible disaster, isn't it!"
Jack	is he the gym leader
Axel	yes
Cici	"I'm sure everyone will be fine, probably."
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Jack	right
Cici	"Eat your pancakes."
Jack	where are we
Axel	"Umm...okay"
Drufle (GM)	In the Pokemon Center! Axel begins eating
Jack	sorry I assumed we were all outside
Cici	"Walter, you should probably stop drinking that. You're going to have a little kitty heart attack."
Drufle (GM)	No, I just don't have a map for the Center.
Jack	"hmph!"
Walter	"Prrrrrr" Jack eats his panckakes with contempt Walter keeps drinking Nurse Joy opens the door from the back and walks in with another plate of food.
Nurse Joy	"Good morning, everyone!" Rochelle bumps into Jack, trying to get in his lap
Nurse Joy	"How is everyone doing?" Nurse Joy looks pointedly at Jack. Axel is deep in thought and doesn't hear the nurse
Cici	"Good morning, Nurse Joy." "Any idea how much progress has been made on thawing the town out?"
Jack	"I'm fine now miss, thank you! " Walter slowly pulls Cici's cup away
Nurse Joy	"Oh, Frederick's managed to remove almost the whole thing! He's been up all night, hasn't slept a bit." "He's awfully tenacious when he gets protective."
Axel	-absentmindedly- "As always..."
Cici	"Why don't we swing by and see how it's going?" "Maybe we can help finish up."
Jack	"I wish I could" Nickel writes down something
Jack	nothing but ice-types
Nickel	We have no fire
Jack	actually could I use control ice to push it all out of town???
Axel	you could
Drufle (GM)	That's literally what Frederick is doing.
Jack	oh!
Cici	yeah
Jack	I assumed he was an antithetical fire leader
Drufle (GM)	He also has nothing but Ice types, being an Ice Gym Leader.
Cici	we were like 'well we have no fire types' and he was like 'the fuck would we do with fire types im just moving the ice'
Axel	yay type advantages
Jack	haha "well if we hurry maybe we can catch up!"
Axel	he's got a point, melting it all would mean a lot of water
Nurse Joy	"I'm sure he'd appreciate the help! He's probably over by the square if you want to find him."
Jack	"I didn't know the leader was an ice master" who's stealing them all
Nickel	writes down Sanctuary later?
Drufle (GM)	I'm just trying to remove clutter.
Jack	is it rocketto dan Nickel shows it to Cici
Drufle (GM)	There's a LOT of Pokemon to keep track of.
Nickel	Pokemon for DAYSSS
Cici	"Huh? You mean that cave we saw yesterday?" "Sure, we can go check it out later." "Hopefully that marker is still there."
Nickel	writes down You didn't know?
Cici	frederick is constantly within the void
Nickel	the eternal void of Frederick
Drufle (GM)	I couldn't find a picture with a transparent background! Anyway, I assume all three of you head out?
Axel	he's always skiing
Cici	hello darkness my old friend
Axel	sure
Cici	YOU KNOW WHAT MY SECRET IS I'M ALWAYS SKIING Nickel gets Axel's attention, then leads him out with the group
Drufle (GM)	The group moves out, heading towards the center of the village. When they arrive, they see Frederick and a few of his Pokemon cleaning out a few chunks of ice. A Beartic is heaving frozen boulders out of the village, and a Froslass is levitating a few out as well. Frederick turns around when he hears the party walking in.
Axel	two evolved mons, yikes
Frederick	"Whoa hey, what's up guys?"
Axel	"Ah, hello Frederick...we were thinking of helping"
Frederick	"Sweet, I could use the help! Anyone got some Ice types?"
Jack	"here!" Axel and all his pokemon point to Jack Jack releases Brunt and Hannan
Cici	"Let fuck let!
Axel	welp
Cici	"Let's go, Titan!"
Jack	no thank you cici
Frederick	"Oh man, a Bergmite! Dude's cool!" Frederick walks over to Brunt and kneels in front of him.
Axel	"Ummm...Cici? Do you know how to move ice?"
Jack	"ohh, thank you~"
Frederick	"So cool. You got the ability to shove this ice?"
Cici	"..."
Drufle (GM)	Jack?
Cici	"Come to think of it..."
Axel	wake up Jack Titan ???????????????
Drufle (GM)	I'm pretty sure Cici doesn't have Ice Type Focus. So even with Titan, all he can really do is carry ice around.
Cici	well she doesn't know that does she
Drufle (GM)	:P
Jack	"you bet I do!"
Drufle (GM)	Good! Make a Special Training Check.
Cici	"...Truth be told, I only caught this pokemon just last night."
Axel	Cici is a pokeprof, she should know this
Jack	one moment
Cici	...how should cici know the game mechanics lmao Walter shares the last of Cici's coffee with Titan
Axel	Biologist??? maybe Titan over-exaggeratedly raises a pinky while drinking Titan bows deeply Jack: Special Training Check: 11
Walter	"Mow" happily
Jack	is that a good
Walter	one of those was a 1 oh dear Brunt taps a hunk of ice, and pulls a huge boulder of ice off from one of the buildings.
Jack	it's a blue line though not red is blue worse??
Axel	I don't know...? you got a 1 AND a 6
Titan	hover over yeah
Jack	ah canclled out?
Drufle (GM)	Training checks aren't "good" or "bad". They just determine how much of stuff you can move.
Axel	ah, okay
Jack	ah yes
Drufle (GM)	11 lets you move 11 liters of ice per second.
Axel	11 liters/second, wow
Jack	that's a lot of liters
Drufle (GM)	So Brunt is just tearing ice off of these buildings. It's a max of 10 seconds per check though.
Cici	"Er... Titan? Do you have any idea how to get rid of this ice?"
Drufle (GM)	Unless you actually roll really well.
Axel	110 liters total, then
Jack	"jeez brunt, it's like you've got a grudge!" Titan picks up a snowball Titan throws it at Walter Cici sighs
Cici	"Okay, never mind." Nickel buzzes to get Frederick's attention
Jack	can I do it for hannan as well or are we just assuming the same
Nickel	writes Would it be helpful to shatter this ice?
Frederick	"Eh? Well I guess so, that's not gonna get the ice out of town though."
Nickel	"Brzt"
Drufle (GM)	Do it for Hannan as well.
Jack	"Ok Hannan, you snowplow too!" Special Training Check: 9 Nickel: Physical Training Check: 7 welp, I shatter no ice I rolled a 3
Jack	Nickel shatters a magnet
Nickel	what the hell Hannan is not quite as good as Brunt, but still manages to pull a good hunk of ice away.
Jack	:) Nickel attacks some chunks of ice higher up, but to no avail
Frederick	"Hell yeah! Ice Pokemon!"
Nickel	"Zzzzzzzrt"
Jack	"yeahh!!"
Axel	Drufle, does that count towards Learning From Experience?
Drufle (GM)	No.
Jack	idle comedy is a free action
Drufle (GM)	Training checks are spammable and thus do not count for LFE.
Axel	ah, good to know
Jack	or that that's more reasonable Axel: Special Training Check: 18 HOLY SHIT
Cici	noice
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear. What are you trying to do?
Cici	yeah whats that even a check for
Jack	is this gonna be a flash cannon
Nickel	Yeah, I nuke some ice with a Flash Cannon
Jack	boy im glad my post came out first Nickel launches a Flash Cannon out of frustration
Drufle (GM)	A large hunk of ice nearby is immediately vaporized. Frederick looks notably concerned.
Axel	"Nickel! What are you doing!?"
Frederick	"Hey little robot man, I appreciate the help but watch what you're doing!"
Jack	"Pleaase don't do that again, we want to save the town, not blow it up!"
Cici	yeah FUCK you nickel
Nickel	"Zzzzzzzzzz..."
Cici	The Roast Of Nickel Nickel: Nickel used Stern Look! Target Jack Roll 3 4 4 + 6 AC 9 Damage 0
Frederick	"Anyway, I think we've done a pretty good job here." "Hey Beartic, mind hauling the rest of this out?"
Cici	staring at jack... oh god that's a threat boy
Drufle (GM)	The polar bear nods and grabs a few more boulders and walks off down a nearby street.
Frederick	"Well man, I think that's pretty damn good!"
Axel	"Uh...well...Jack is very good with ice"
Frederick	"All the doorways are at least clear, I think that's pretty good for now." Jack is looking in the other direction entirely, yet feels the hairs on the back of his neck rise
Axel	you cannot escape the Stern Look
Jack	"huh. still pretty chilly here"
Frederick	"Yeah, man, it's always cold! That's why I love this place."
Jack	"anyway, I'm glad to help sir!" Frederick nods at Jack.
Jack	"are that beartic and frosslass your whole team?"
Frederick	"Oh them? Nah, they're just my big dudes. Well, and lady dude I guess." "I don't use them in Gym battles, they'd probably crush everyone!"
Jack	"well, maybe you'll have to one day! I'm not confident in my strength right now, but in the future I'd like to come back and fight you."
Axel	"I'll probably be dropping by later, Frederick"
Frederick	"Oh man, challengers? That'd be great!" "I'd love to fight another Ice trainer sometime."
Axel	little does Fred realize, Jack also has rock types
Jack	I keep forgetting that rock isn't weak to ice
Frederick	"Well, I think I'm gonna head back to the Gym for now." "See y'all guys later!"
Axel	"Alright, see you later, Fred"
Jack	"g'bye!"
Drufle (GM)	Frederick walks off towards another part of town, and it is now quiet.
Nickel	"Bzrt"
Drufle (GM)	Most of the ice has been removed from the buildings, although a few hunks lie around.
Jack	"so... cool..." Nickel points out of town, towards where the Sanctuary was
Cici	"I agree!" "Why don't we head out for a bit?"
Axel	"I owe that man a lot"
Nickel	"Zzt"
Jack	"okeydokey"
Copper	-We're off to the cave!- "Klingling"
Jack	that's a fusion idea there
Axel	-Please No-
Drufle (GM)	Well apparently I never made the map for this place, so one moment.
Jack	you cannot stop the Kingler/Klefki hybrid
Cici	not klink/chingling
Copper	-No!-
Cici	?
Jack	Also chingling, thank you
Cici	lol
Copper	-No more stealing my essence!-
Jack	I couldn't remember it
Copper	-It's mine!-
Jack	some -other- klefki then, ya lightweight
Drufle (GM)	So the party heads out back towards the area they were looking for...
Copper	-Imma nuke that Dragon next time I see him, mark my words-
Jack	did I ask if they actually found the professor
Copper	we did he's alive woah
Jack	I know you did, but does jack??
Axel	Uhhh
Cici	i cant believe that we found a cave to es4 oblivion
Jack	I never saw him
Axel	Did Hawthorne talk to Jack?
Drufle (GM)	Man, finding songs is hard now. Also you never actually asked, Jack.
Axel	Chronology does not make sense
Drufle (GM)	Hawthorne is off at the moment!
Cici	yeah jack has no idea what happened yesterday or we could like, assume that we tlaked to him. last night. because we got back at like 7 pm and he'd been sleeping all day
Jack	"oh I forgot to ask: you DID actually find the professor, right?! Nickel hands Jack notes on what happened that night while the travel to the Santuary
Jack	" "oh, thank you Nickel"
Nickel	"Bzt"
Cici	please read helpful handout provided by expositionbot420
Jack	Hora I also thank you for fixing nickel's name
Nickel	Ah, you noticed np
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, we can assume that there was some conversation. So Jack might know that you found the Professor, but not where he is now.
Jack	"hm, frozen into a wall, I see"
Nickel	do WE know where the Prof whent?
Cici	"Frozen out of fear, more likely." Cici snorts
Drufle (GM)	He left Spinel!
Cici	"I'm very disappointed in him."
Drufle (GM)	He's off to check on a theory.
Axel	"He is far too reckless"
Jack	"so where are we now? this definitely isn't a natural cave"
Axel	"Who wants to bet that he'll be in trouble next time we meet him?"
Jack	oh I've got an urgent theory to check on, can't stay, must be off
Cici	"No idea. The itemfinder was going off like crazy around the entrance, though."
Axel	"Hmmm? Oh, we're here"
Cici	"Oh, speaking of which."
Axel	oh yeah, Jack should probably get that back Cici gives Jack back the Itemfinder
Jack	"thankyou Cici :)"
Axel	I can search for Apricorns here
Drufle (GM)	You seem to have stumbled upon some sort of abandoned mine!
Axel	this is a mine? this looks more like a tomb
Jack	straight outta russian sleep experiment
Drufle (GM)	Totally a mine.
Axel	suuuure
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, this means that now I have to make up some Pokemon to exist here...
Axel	check the wishlists remember the power of phoongus
Jack	believe in the sign of zeta
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, let's look at those lists.
Cici	theres probably a bunch of draugr in here
Jack	get the power of love
Axel	mine is in the forums the one here isn't updated I could probably update it right now
Drufle (GM)	Oh man, I know what I'm giving Axel.
Cici	so canonically i already own a smoochum and it's with my family in hoenn btw so dont give me one of those
Drufle (GM)	Gotcha.
Cici	i might like, take her off my list just so we remember
Axel	uh updated the wishlist here
Cici	i was using charahub a lot the other day lmao
Axel	oh god it doubled in length
Cici	just fuck me up
Drufle (GM)	Well unfortunately I don't think any of Cici's wishlist Pokemon would be here. Considering she has, like, 4 options.
Axel	not even a phoongus?
Cici	it's a bit cold for mushrooms
Drufle (GM)	In a mine? No.
Cici	drufle you've played skyrim that's where all mushrooms are
Drufle (GM)	I'll have to find something else suitably poisony/grassy/buggy.
Cici	caves
Drufle (GM)	Well yes, but thematically it doesn't make much sense.
Axel	I have a wishlist mon that'd work for both of us
Cici	im not gonna like exclusively catch my own types
Drufle (GM)	You mean the only grass type on your list?
Cici	ill probably only keep them
Drufle (GM)	Oh, ok.
Cici	but i can catch and give to like other people ive got the most anyway
Axel	so duel types are out of the question? I HAVE a grass type on my wishlist
Drufle (GM)	I think I'll just put out some other Pokemon. And whoever wants them can take them.
Axel	okay then
Cici	give us angry things to fite
Axel	fights equal EXP hand me the EXP when should I roll for Apricorns?
Drufle (GM)	Uh. Afterwards, methinks.
Axel	alrighty then
Jack	you aren't waiting on me are you
Drufle (GM)	No, I'm just. Downloading Pokepics. Axel picks up some rocks and looks at them
Cici	breakfast is open i might go grab that soon
Axel	I feel determined to try to build a scanner again food is important
Drufle (GM)	Go eat! It'll be a bit for me to set this up anyway.
Axel	nom all the things
Cici	kk
Drufle (GM)	Boy, I sure hope you guys have some good Great/Ultra Balls on you. Some of these have pretty high BSTs...
Axel	I got two ultras
Jack	do I
Drufle (GM)	Dunno!
Axel	do you keep track of your inventory?
Drufle (GM)	With all that cash you have though, you could have picked some up at Spinel.
Jack	I'm looking now I have 4 great balls
Axel	might work
Drufle (GM)	Alright, that will hopefully be ok.
Axel	you can borrow balls we also buy through Cici, because of her discount
Drufle (GM)	Well of course you should let Cici catch them.
Axel	well, obviously she can catch everything
Drufle (GM)	She has an advantage on capture checks in sanctuaries. Which is very helpful here!
Jack	so is it an express power that cici has that lets her acces the shop here or can we all do it
Drufle (GM)	So I have one Pokemon for Axel and two for Jack here.
Jack	yayy
Drufle (GM)	Well I mean. You can retroactively have bought things.
Jack	yeah I don't wanna do that
Axel	woo
Jack	I didn't think at the time no sense going back Critical Path Analysis
Drufle (GM)	As a general rule, if you have cash and have been in a settlement recently you can just say that some of that cash is items.
Jack	oh alright then 4 ultras
Drufle (GM)	You have enough for that?
Axel	4 ultras at half price
Jack	how much are they
Axel	Cici, remember? also Itemfinder
Drufle (GM)	600 each.
Axel	of course he has enough
Drufle (GM)	With Cici's discount. Oh right, that.
Jack	2400 smackers, straight up
Drufle (GM)	Nice. But yeah, there aren't a lot of bug/grass/poison types that fit well in this environment. I'll have to make it up to Cici later.
Axel	underground mons Gligar?
Drufle (GM)	That's ground/flying.
Axel	no wait, not poison
Jack	I am now at $5600
Axel	I always forget that
Drufle (GM)	We could always just have Zubat. I'm sure she'd love Zubat.
Axel	Zubat zubat song, go!
Jack	zubat's an ass to train, but it's worth it
Axel	Zubat, zubzatzubat In this game, Zubat would probably be decent since it doesn't have a shit starting moveset anymore
Drufle (GM)	Well, I mean. Golbat's ability is pretty boring. He just qualifies for Absorb, Confuse Ray, and Psychic.
Jack	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP52JO7cl7k
Drufle (GM)	And then Crobat's ability is just +1 Speed.
Jack	horanove, THIS is the zubat theme
Axel	:D
Drufle (GM)	So are we actually going to have a fight this time? Or do the thing we did last time.
Axel	I guess??
Drufle (GM)	I mean it's up to you guys I suppose. I can go either way.
Axel	Fight gets us EXP if is Ferroseed I am not fighting it
Jack	let's see what's on offer first
Axel	I can't actually hit it hard
Cici	i want to beat something up
Axel	resists EVERYTHING I HAVE
Drufle (GM)	Oh hey, she returns.
Cici	i have acquired breakfast
Axel	breaking fast 2fast4food
Drufle (GM)	Who's ready for an encounter!
Axel	Us!
Jack	REDDY
Drufle (GM)	BING
Jack	aww
Axel	Oh...my...arceus
Cici	the godbird
Axel	My next boon is now definite I'm boosting that Skarmory once I catch it
Cici	theres no way we've walked in on a skarmory and it hasn't tried to kick the shit out of us
Jack	can I fight the geodude and persuade the carbink
Cici	we gon fite
Jack	yah
Drufle (GM)	Jack: Sure, I suppose. The party walks into the mine and hears a noise from down the tunnel.
Jack	wait no! Axel bumps into something metalic
Axel	"Off"
Jack	a better story is Axel falls down
Jack	the skarmory is atttacking the two rocks! we must save them!
Cici	delicious rocks to eat
Axel	and Axel walks into them
Drufle (GM)	Is that what's happening?
Axel	sure
Drufle (GM)	Very well!
Axel	battlesong?
Drufle (GM)	A Skarmory seems to be harassing a little Carbink and its Geodude friend!
Jack	"look! that skarmory is attacking the innocent stones!"
Drufle (GM)	The bird turns around at the sound of intruders! Jack is biased
Axel	from the ground "err, yes, I see that
Cici	"Hot steel on rock action..." "Why that's going to be highly effective!" "One might even say... super effective!"
Drufle (GM)	Who's up against our steel bird friend?
Axel	I'm saying Axel walked into the Skarmory's tail
Jack	"sparks will fly!"
Axel	"Sparks, you say?" Nickel actually, wait Walter first fight for lion cub
Walter	"Mrrrow!!"
Drufle (GM)	I hope you know what you're doing. Walter lands on top of the Skarmory
Drufle (GM)	I have 5 speed!
Walter	I. HAVE. 8!!!
Drufle (GM)	Hot damn.
Walter	2fast4u
Drufle (GM)	Well, you're up first!
Walter	-Sup, birdy?- Walter used Thundershock! Target Skarmory Roll 3 6 2 + 6 AC 14 Damage 3
Drufle (GM)	Hit! Walter electrocutes the Skarmory
Drufle (GM)	The bird wobbles around, and glares at the tiny lion thing.
Walter	-Hello-
Cici	do you think pokemon develop stockholm syndrome
Walter	-I'm on yer back, zapping yer wings- Drufle (GM): Skarmory used Steel Wing! Target Walter Roll 4 6 3 + 6 AC 13 Damage 2 THWACK
Walter	ow I resist
Jack	squashed
Drufle (GM)	I have ATK focus.
Cici	owie
Walter	wait, that is not my AC I'm using Nickel stats, remember? I mean, its a hit regardless
Cici	weird
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, I fixed it. He still had his stats from when he was under Abomasnow. Your turn!
Walter	my turn? cool beans
Drufle (GM)	I did 2 damage!
Walter	I know I have 3 HP max I'm down to 1 Walter gets up off the ground-
Walter	"Grrrrrr"
Cici	"I don't think Walter can take another hit like that, Axel!" Walter begins running around the Skarmory in circles
Cici	serpentine
Walter	So fast! Walter used Thundershock! Target Skarmory Roll 2 1 6 + 6 AC 14 Damage 3 also, the music stopped is that a hit?
Cici	yeah whats up with that that is a hit
Walter	yeah, that hits Walter fires electricity while running in circles
Walter	is it down? I mean, thats 6 damage total
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, I got pulled aside.
Walter	that's fine "Mow mow mow!!" "_MOW_"
Drufle (GM)	And yeah, Skarmory only had 4 hp.
Walter	:p Walter hops on top of the downed Skarmory
Drufle (GM)	That's what happens when all of his stats are in physical. Walter gives a victory pose
Walter	EXP?
Drufle (GM)	Hm. Take 1.
Walter	hrm okau
Drufle (GM)	That wasn't really a hard fight.
Walter	pretty sure I got lucky two zaps in a row
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, the Geodude and Carbink run to your side after seeing you knock out the giant scary bird.
Cici	birds ass status: kicked
Jack	"are you guys okay?"
Cici	"Axel? You want me to take a shot at catching it?" Walter what can I do right now to get that?
Drufle (GM)	The two little rocks are clearly quite frightened.
Walter	oops
Cici	"I think if I account for the stance it takes when defending its nest, and the fact that it's blah blah blah blah...."
Walter	ignore that Jack opens his arms invitingly
Axel	"Cici? Cici?"
Drufle (GM)	The Geodude leaps at Jack, still rather frightened. Axel tries to get Cici to stop, but to no avail
Cici	"...trajectory..."
Axel	"Cici." Jack is knocked over by 44 lbs of living stone Cici 's arm flops around in Axel's general direction, expecting to be handed a pokeball. She does not stop talking.
Axel	"uh...oookay"
Cici	>mfw jack's fucking dead Axel gives Cici an Ultra Ball
Jack	"ok, maybe a bit too scared" Axel doesn't notice Jack
Cici	'...air pressure..." Cici throws the ball mid-sentence
Cici	rolling 3d6k2 + 7( 3 + 3 + 2 )+7 = 13 plus 40 for ultra right so that's 53?
Axel	please be enough I remember Skarmory being a pain
Cici	skarms a tough nut to crack
Drufle (GM)	That's pretty much enough to catch anything.
Axel	so many ultraballs lost in game
Cici	but i dont think it has 530 bst
Drufle (GM)	Of course you could've just used the capture roll.
Cici	oh did we have a macro for that Drufle (GM) throws the Ultra Ball at Skarmory! Drufle (GM): Ultra Ball go! Capture Roll 49 Capture DC 47
Cici	i had to give myself advantage anyway
Axel	not enough to catch an Aegishlash
Drufle (GM)	That's true.
Axel	Drufle, you are terrible at catching things
Drufle (GM)	But yes, that did succeed! Wow I really am, damn. 1 exp to me.
Axel	you got 2 1s GM levels up
Cici	"...and that should do it." Cici dusts off hands
Cici	"I'm gonna go take a look around." "You guys bond with your new rocks, I guess?" Jack fumbles for a great ball Cici starts poking around looking for the Skarmory's nest
Drufle (GM)	There! Skarmory should belong to Axel now.
Cici	"I wonder if the Skarmory in this region hoard items..."
Jack	HELP
Cici	"Or maybe shards of metal..."
Jack	HELP
Drufle (GM)	Help?
Cici	"Judging by... plumage..."
Jack	I got flooded by errors
Cici	D: we didnt see any of that
Jack	You attempted to use a roll "command looking for the value of a selected token, but no tokens are selected." oh that's alright then Drufle (GM) throws the Great Ball at Geodude! Drufle (GM): Great Ball go! Capture Roll 47 Capture DC 30 Just like that.
Jack	thanku
Drufle (GM)	Click on you, then capture, then on Geodude.
Jack	"he wouldn't get off"
Axel	"Cici, I'm going to try to make something"
Cici	jack captures geodude because it's the fastest way to remove it from his chest
Axel	"You're talking is a bit distracting"
Jack	"now then, what this little carbink like?" Cici 's voice fades away as she moves down the hall and gets mumblier and mumblier
Axel	"Uhh...okay, see you later, Cici"
Drufle (GM)	The Carbink is looking up at you, confused. It doesn't really seem to understand what just happened.
Cici	'...in heat, or as they say for steel types, in cold...'
Axel	"Don't mind me, Jack, I've got to do something"
Jack	"hm, tough to read"
Axel	"Try something, I mean" Aptitude Check: 13 Axel tries to make some kind of pickaxe or drill, but can't quite decide between the two Jack is hardly paying attention to people right now
Cici	the words of jack's mentor, dr. rocksalot, return to him 'jack to train a rock... you must be... a rock...' 'i will be with you, always'
Drufle (GM)	I think that might be the first time you actually got a decent roll on your invention check.
Axel	finally since the Shovel, at least
Cici	'doc that's weird' 'no come on it's just a wallet photo don't you want something to remember me by'
Drufle (GM)	Axel manages to get some stone and wood from the supports around him, and fashions them into a pickaxe of sorts. Jack shudders at distant memories
Axel	"Okay...lets see here..."
Cici	in the wise words of dr. rocksalot
Axel	do I just roll Aptitude again to use it?
Cici	'rocks'
Jack	the Carbink's unbinking stare
Axel	It's been so long
Cici	unbinking
Jack	sees into his soul
Drufle (GM)	Well it's whatever you think you need to use it. So I'd imagine Human Capacity.
Cici	yeah that
Axel	+ my aptitude score, right?
Drufle (GM)	Yes. Jack: Aptitude Check: 11
Axel	okay Human Capacity Check: 15 wow so stronk
Jack	good enough for me
Cici	jack attempts to forget dr. rocksalot
Axel	add my app, and thats 21
Jack	"Alright then"
Cici	but the dc to forget dr. rocksalot is too high
Drufle (GM)	What are you trying to do again?
Axel	me or Jack?
Drufle (GM)	You.
Axel	I'm mining, clearly
Cici	cranberries
Drufle (GM)	For what?
Axel	then I'll log schematics I don't know
Jack	ultra is 40 right
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Axel	whatever is left in this mine
Cici	digging for apriorns Jack throws the Ultra Ball at Carbink! Jack: Ultra Ball go! Capture Roll 50 Capture DC 50
Axel	oh wow
Jack	D:
Drufle (GM)	Ho damn.
Axel	right on the money
Jack	oh"
Drufle (GM)	That sure was close.
Jack	did it get it
Drufle (GM)	Of course you did!
Jack	woo!
Drufle (GM)	You hit the DC, didn't you?
Cici	i could have helped :p
Jack	I assumed it had to be over Axel swings the pickaxe against the walls
Drufle (GM)	Also Axel manages to find a, uh... rolling 1d8 ( 7 ) = 7
Axel	"Dang it...I can be useful" "I will be useful..."
Drufle (GM)	A Dawn Stone!
Jack	the ball shakes for a disturbingly long time, but utlimately calms down
Axel	OOOOOOOH
Cici	you only caught it because carbink decided to be caught we are all tools of the carbink overlords
Jack	we had a battle of wills
Cici	hey dammit
Axel	"I found something!"
Cici	this formatting ruining my jokes [will] hey THERE
Jack	hahah
Drufle (GM)	Alright, all Pokemon should be controllable now.
Cici	god is it really that hard to code html so you can use less than/greater than signs in text
Drufle (GM)	<
Axel	I dunno
Drufle (GM)	> <>
Axel	I think its just when both appear together
Cici	drufle did i find anything interesting wandering around the cave
Axel	><
Drufle (GM)	Hm...
Axel	<> huh
Cici	how deep does it go?
Drufle (GM)	Roll Attention.
Axel	>hi<
Drufle (GM)	It goes pretty far!
Axel	attention? Cici: Attention Check: 11
Drufle (GM)	It is a cave, after all.
Axel	all of us?
Drufle (GM)	No.
Cici	there are shitty caves out there
Drufle (GM)	Cici's the only one going down. Walter: Attention Check: 13 oh
Cici	i'm going down
Walter	Illumination? I have glowing eyes
Cici	walter has realized that he is a cat the existential knowledge threatens to tear him apart
Drufle (GM)	You find a number of other tunnels, and a few Pokemon scatter as you walk down. How far do you go?
Axel	Drufle, I'll log the Schematics of this pick
Cici	well, cici's kind of lost in thought and trying to find the skarmory's nest so id say the lower her attention roll the deeper, probably
Drufle (GM)	Ah, is that so?
Cici	that was kind of a middling roll so Nickel asks Walter to follow Cici and keep an eye on here
Drufle (GM)	Very well.
Walter	"Mrow"
Cici	not so far she'd get lost but far enough to get like. away Walter hops after here
Axel	how does logging scematics work again?
Drufle (GM)	Well looking for the nest, you do eventually stumble upon a pile of metal bars and shaved filings. You spend an hour writing down the schematics. Then you get 1 exp and can recreate the device in 20 minutes.
Axel	okay
Cici	"Fascinating..."
Axel	I'm guessing that won't be until Cici gets back
Cici	yeah im not that far gone lmao im gonna do like science things take Samples Walter leaps up onto Cici's back
Drufle (GM)	Among the blades, shavings, and ingots is a small grayish ball.
Walter	"Wow" Mow
Cici	"Oh? What's this?" let me like, try and weigh it, feel it a bit, etc is it metallic as well?
Drufle (GM)	It feels... familiar, somehow. It is indeed metallic.
Walter	have fun doing that with a cat on your back Walter looks down at the round thing, his eyes illuminating the room
Cici	"Come on, Clara, we're working." Cici pulls Walter off her back
Cici	"Oh. You're not Clara."
Walter	"Mrrrow"
Cici	"...I've gone rather deep, haven't I." "We'd better go back." Walter nods his head Cici pockets the metal orb, or morb, and places some of the other metal bits and bobs in her backpack
Drufle (GM)	After a mite more wandering, Cici ends up back at the entrance. Jack seems to be enjoying the company of his new pals, and Axel is... mining?
Cici	"See, Walter, I'm hoping this will give us some insight into the diet of this region's Skarmory... blah blah blah"
Walter	I think so Walter listens intently
Jack	bits and boobs
Cici	tits n boobs "Oh, we're back." Walter hops down back to Axel
Cici	"Axel, have you given up on your work already? Off to the mines?" Jack is struggling to name the carbink
Axel	"This. Is. My...Work...huff"
Cici	"I didn't really think you were the 'manual laborer' type, but hey, follow your passions." Cici ;P
Axel	is this where I knock out the Dawn Stone? "Laugh...all...you...huff"
Cici	i feel like you already found it probably
Axel	"want...because...hah..." Nickel shows Cici the Dawn Stone
Nickel	"Zzzzrt"
Cici	"Oh, lovely!"
Nickel	probably only useful to Hannan
Cici	"Hey, Jack, don't Snorunt evolve with a dawn stone?"
Nickel	I don't think any types I could get would use this
Drufle (GM)	Well literally only two Pokemon use it.
Nickel	oh snap, we could do that right now is Hannan a girl? that sounds like a girl's name
Jack	"they do, but unless hannan has any objections he's gonna be a glalie"
Cici	wow it really is just gallade and froslass huh
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Nickel	oh, Hannan is a guy?
Jack	Hannan Is Not A Boy's Name
Nickel	crap
Jack	he is, though
Nickel	that means the Dawn Stone doesn't work then has to be a girl snorunt
Jack	oh yah
Nickel	you suuuuure Hannan is a guy?
Drufle (GM)	I just picked a stone at random, I wasn't exactly hinting at anything.
Jack	I don't actually like froslass that much
Nickel	well, alright no early evo then Drufle, shall I log the schematics now?
Cici	"Oh, hey, guys, have a look at this."
Jack	my heart is screaming to name the carbink "Binky" but... Cici pulls out the morb
Cici	do it
Drufle (GM)	It'll take a while, but yes. An hour, remember. Wolfram lunges out of his ball and lands in front of Cici
Cici	"I found it in the Skarmory's nest."
Drufle (GM)	In the meantime, a MORB Wolfram glares
Cici	"Oh, hey."
Jack	THAT'S MY EGGG
Cici	"This is yours, right?" Cici offers Morb
Cici	>its a poop Wolfram continues to watch carefully while picking up the morb
Cici	brb clearing table
Drufle (GM)	I should probably make the note here that Skarmory didn't actually put that orb in its nest.
Wolfram	it has to know about it he
Jack	confirmed for not poop
Wolfram	dang it
Jack	*I have to know about it
Drufle (GM)	Well I'm sure he knows it's there, but he didn't put it there.
Cici	im not a bird
Drufle (GM)	You're not? Dang.
Cici	why did you message me that i was a bird
Wolfram	mistake talking to me
Cici	mistakes were made Wolfram rotates the orbs so the braile is in front
Drufle (GM)	? Well that's weird. I sent the message to Wolfram.
Wolfram	I got it
Cici	(From Drufle (GM)): How would you know? You're a bird.
Drufle (GM)	It shouldn't have gone to you. How bizarre.
Wolfram	you wispered to everyone then Jack probably got it too
Drufle (GM)	Oh, wait.
Cici	drufle, who whispers to us all
Drufle (GM)	Cici has control access to Wolfram for dex purposes. I should just send all my messages to the players. To avoid this nonsense.
Cici	oh right Wolfram hands the orb back to Cici
Cici	lol "...I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Wolfram	"Scrahhhh..." Cici gives Wolfram an uneasy look Wolfram steps back
Cici	"This didn't happen to come from a big guy, 7 feet tall, several thousand pounds, made of steel?" "Big glowey eyes?" Axel stops mining and begins to log the schematics of the pickaxe
Wolfram	-How would I even be able to tell you?- -You arn't a bird-
Cici	blink once for yes
Jack	"six feet 3 inches, but -"
Cici	"Ahem." "Point being, this orb is covered in braille.' "Another one."
Jack	"well there's no point deliberating over it" Cici sighs
Cici	"I'll try and translate it right away. Hopefully this is a little nicer than the last one."
Jack	"should we read it? the first one wasn't very joyful" Cici shakes her head
Cici	"If the first was intended as a warning, this one probably is too." "Although I wonder if it's meant for us..." "I mean, how could Registeel possibly know..."
Wolfram	You found it, you read it thats how it works
Cici	"...Come to think of it, I think it can learn Future Sight."
Wolfram	don't you know plot when you see it? Cici sighs Nickel: Aptitude Check: 14
Cici	yes but also im a scientist i gotta ask questions
Nickel	let us begin the translation Cici sits down with Nickel to translate out the script
Cici	axel is writing schematics what are you doing, jack for like an hour lmao
Drufle (GM)	The encrypted text is as follows:
Cici	hey i bet there are fossils in this place you should have a spelunk
Drufle (GM)	"Do not believe, for belief is the way of the foolish. Only you can end this now." And in a smaller section on the back, another phrase: "We are so, so sorry." Cici sighs again in frustration
Cici	"You hear that, Wolfram? Only you can end this now."
Jack	yeah im prospecting also itemfindin? same thing? Cici just starts yellin in a cave Wolfram shakes his head
Drufle (GM)	Oh yeah, do an Attention check for treasure. Jack: Attention Check: 13 Wolfram: Attention Check: 11 opp
Cici	"Okay, so, what, like, they're 'sorry' now??" "They know SOMETHING. The next time we see one of those damn golems I'm going to give it a piece of my mind!" Wolfram just looks at Cici, very confused
Jack	"it's all terribly foreboding"
Nickel	"Zzzzrt..."
Jack	Wolfram could mine with me
Drufle (GM)	Jack: Roll a 1d6, and then an Aptitude check.
Jack	it's a living pickaxe, I know I gave mine rock smash
Cici	"Honestly, I'm MORE insulted because they added that condescending apology on the back!" "Sorry? Ha!"
Jack	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3 Aptitude Check: 13
Cici	"If they were really sorry, they'd tell us SOMETHING" Cici slumps back on the floor
Drufle (GM)	Stardust, 1 ether, 1 revive, 2 full heal Roll another 1d6, Jack.
Nickel	who got what?
Jack	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Big Pearl, 1 hyper potion, 1 revive, 1 potion
Axel	"Cici, please, I'm trying to work"
Drufle (GM)	Well this is all Jack's stuff.
Axel	okay
Cici	yeah he found it he gets to decide if it's split up or not
Drufle (GM)	And roll a 2d6 for me, will you?
Axel	only he managed to find something?
Cici	he spent the hour we were working looking for stuff
Axel	oh yeah woops of course
Drufle (GM)	Also that's how treasure usually works. Everyone gets to roll only if the Attention check is really high.
Axel	ah
Drufle (GM)	Otherwise it's just one roll.
Axel	got it
Drufle (GM)	Oi Jack, gimme a 2d6 here.
Cici	we dont get a treasure roll for fights in a sanctuary normally because then youd just like. roll another sanctuary sanctuaryception
Axel	I'd be okay with that
Drufle (GM)	Hence why I removed the options for sanctuaries from this treasure roll.
Cici	snart
Axel	sadness
Jack	god I am rolling in dough
Axel	so much money
Jack	2d6 you say?
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Axel	our greatest benefactor
Cici	invest in your college education
Jack	rolling 2d6( 4 + 6 ) = 10
Axel	Jack will probably finish the ranchlab singlehandedly a 4 and a 6 neet
Drufle (GM)	Congratulations, you have found a fossil!
Jack	"as expected!"
Axel	"Jack, not you too. Stop shouting"
Drufle (GM)	Axel is just so tired from spending an hour slamming a hunk of stone into more stone.
Axel	yes
Jack	so what is it
Drufle (GM)	I don't know if Jack would recognize this fossil though...
Cici	"What did you find, Jack?"
Drufle (GM)	Try an Aptitude check! Jack: Aptitude Check: 14
Drufle (GM)	Well that's good enough.
Cici	its that poop fossil gary found in the prehistoric pokemon episode
Drufle (GM)	This is a Root Fossil!
Axel	oooh
Axel	what was that?
Jack	bitchin'
Drufle (GM)	More commonly known as the fossil of the ancient Pokemon Lileep!
Axel	ah, of course
Jack	"this is a root fossil! Can we go back to" insert town name "now?!"
Drufle (GM)	Tormalia.
Axel	Spinel oh wait
Jack	thank you druf
Cici	"That'd be a bit of a hike from here..."
Axel	that has the fossil machine
Drufle (GM)	There is certainly no Lab in Spinel!
Cici	"But we do have to go pick up Will eventually."
Axel	"Lets not hike down a mountain" Should I roll Apricorns now or later?
Cici	"And besides, while we're already here, I'd rather we cross to the opposite peak first."
Drufle (GM)	Now.
Jack	I;ll work on splitting up my treasure later
Axel	now, got it
Cici	"I think there's another Gym going up over there, right?"
Axel	thats...apptitude? attention?
Drufle (GM)	Uhhhh It's just 2d6 twice.
Axel	rolling 1d6 + 1d6( 3 )+( 2 ) = 5 3 and 2
Cici	how much are big pearls and stardust worth
Drufle (GM)	2d6 twice, so roll again.
Axel	rolling 2d6( 2 + 6 ) = 8
Drufle (GM)	You get 2 blue and 2 red Apricorns!
Axel	I need to update my bird awsome
Drufle (GM)	Big Pearl is 3000, Stardust is 2000.
Cici	okay
mopp	the total items are listed under cici's notes at the bottom as 'loot 4b' you can divvy it up as you see Phit
Jack	thanku
Drufle (GM)	Alright, is that everything?
Axel	uhh level up?
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, you levelled up didn't you.
Axel	yes
Cici	Strong
Drufle (GM)	Where is everyone else on EXP?
Cici	i need 2 more
Jack	Axel can have the full heals, and Cici can have the hyper potion and revives
Cici	and ill get it with a few more dexes
Axel	full heals? how many are there?
Cici	"Wow, you found a lot of items!" "Thanks!" 2
Jack	"no problem!"
Axel	"Ah, thank you" "Hrm...I feel a bit...stronger"
Jack	also I leveled up last session or something last I was in
Axel	"Tired, but stronger"
Jack	still at 14
Cici	no it's out of 10 now jack
Jack	still at 9
Drufle (GM)	Hm, ok then.
Axel	what Highstats can Skarmory have?
Drufle (GM)	So everyone is relatively close to level 3.
Cici	yeah jack is way behind on leveling
Drufle (GM)	ATK/DEF
Cici	no he's just barely 2
Axel	cool
Drufle (GM)	Wait seriously?
Cici	right?
Axel	Obviously Attack
Drufle (GM)	I thought he levelled up already.
Cici	im confused also headache oh wow hello darkness my old friend
Axel	I'll take Basic Training for a bird
Drufle (GM)	Reasonable. Remember though that you don't actually need Ultimate Flying for Fly anymore. We're gonna turn the HM Field Moves into, you know, HMs.
Axel	Yeah
Drufle (GM)	So you don't have to waste all those boons getting something you don't really want.
Axel	But basic training has some nice boons
Drufle (GM)	Unless you do actually want Ultimate Flying, in which case go ahead.
Axel	it actually gives Walter something
Drufle (GM)	Nice!
Axel	Helping Hand usefull
Drufle (GM)	Ah yes, that is actually a nice field move.
Axel	support mons go!
Drufle (GM)	So, how's everyone doing?
Axel	I'm doing great
Drufle (GM)	Shall we continue onward?
Cici	what happened to mopp
Jack	Im fine
Cici	there he go
Drufle (GM)	Alright! Let's make a move on back to Spinel, then.
Jack	what high stats can snorunt, geodude and carbink have?
Cici	"So, shall we head back into town, then?" let me check
Axel	Rochelle learned Double Slap because reasons
Drufle (GM)	Carbink is DEF/SPDEF
Jack	ok
Drufle (GM)	Geodude is ATK/DEF.
Cici	geodude is atk/def dammit snorunt gets "any"
Drufle (GM)	Oh wow.
Cici	literally all its base stats are equal
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, all of Snorunt's stats are 50.
Jack	ohright
Cici	the roundest
Drufle (GM)	Why on earth would they do that.
Jack	that's how it works they wanted something mediocre, clearly so Carb/SpDef, Geo/Def and Sno/Spd ok
Axel	Wolfram is getting all the moevs
Cici	glalie also gets any and mega glalie gets atk/spatk "So Axel, are you going to challenge this gym, too?"
Axel	"Ah, yes!" "Fred used to bug me a lot while I worked on his gym" "Now he will finally get his wish"
Drufle (GM)	So, off to the gym, hm?
Axel	pretty much
Drufle (GM)	Alright!
Cici	"We should probably tell him about what the Professor said, too..." "Getting Prepared and whatnot."
Drufle (GM)	Moraine and Clear, huh? Neat names.
Axel	oooh
Cici	i cant believe the geodude is from the wheel of time series
Drufle (GM)	Alright, let's go to the gym!
Axel	Wolfram is ready for war!
Cici	war-frame -e dammit
Wolfram	I am armed with a ton of moves so many moves
Jack	Wolfram Attack Pattern Alpha
Frederick	"Hey, you guys finally showed up!"
Axel	"Hey, Fred"
Cici	Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram Omega
Axel	"Told you I'd be here" you guys really like that name, huh
Cici	Dogsheep
Frederick	"Well I mean, I figured you'd all show up eventually!" "I think I've got some good Pokemon for you guys too!"
Axel	oh, I boosted my Aptitude to 7 when I leveled
Cici	push it up to 7 unce unce
Axel	"Well, alright, I'm ready"
Cici	ok fite
Frederick	"I've only got three at the moment, though... the rest are still working."
Axel	"If thats alright wish you two"
Jack	"go get 'im. Mister Frederick!" Axel turns to Cici and Jack
Cici	"What? Me?"
Axel	"Uh...yeah, I couldn't expect a lot of cheering for me"
Cici	"Oh no go right ahead I wasn't planning on... no."
Axel	"Okay, Walter!"
Jack	"I did say later! just not _immediately_ later"
Axel	"Right...okay...I can do this...okay..."
Walter	"MROW!!!"
Frederick	"Alright little dude, let's go!" Frederick tosses out a small Sneasel!
Walter	you ready for this!? -Hellloooo babe-
Cici	"Sneasel is incredibly fast... I hope Walter can keep up!"
Drufle (GM)	My speed is 6, but you're still faster!
Walter	woo
Drufle (GM)	Because, you know, SPE focus.
Walter	woop woop Walter used Thundershock! Target Sneasel Roll 3 6 5 + 6 AC 15 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	Yikes. Walter rushes around in circles, firing off electricity
Cici	does it actually have 6 spdef
Drufle (GM)	The bolts hit the Sneasel square in the chest!
Walter	Bouncing off walls all over the place
Cici	wow whoever frederick's starter is it'll be tanky as hell
Walter	I'm tanky too, though the BULK is real
Axel	"Nice work, Walter" Drufle (GM): Sneasel used Crunch! Target Walter Roll 6 1 3 + 4 AC 15 Damage 3 Nuts!
Axel	"Err...wherever you ended up?" Walter is just too fast!
Jack	tiny mouth bite
Drufle (GM)	Sneasel goes in for a snap, but can't hit the speedy thing!
Walter	-You're too slow!- "Mrrrow!" Walter used Thundershock! Target Sneasel Roll 3 5 6 + 6 AC 15 Damage 2 nice
Cici	way past cool
Walter	same roll, actually
Drufle (GM)	Good grief, do you ever not roll 6's? Sneasel takes another bolt to the face, and falls down, knocked out! Walter pounces onto the Sneasel, then fills 'er full of volts
Frederick	"Wow, like, that's a really fast little dude!" Walter holds a victory pose
Axel	"How many pokemon do you have, Fred?"
Frederick	"Just three, the rest are still cleaning the village."
Axel	"Ah, okay" "I'm going to switch, if you don't mind"
Frederick	"Sure, go ahead!"
Axel	"Okay, Walter, switch out with Wolfram" first fight for the bird
Frederick	"Go, Spheal!" Wolfram lets out a powerful shrill cry
Jack	"you've still got this, mister fred!"
Wolfram	Ready for battle Wolfram glares at Jack
Wolfram	-Hell no he doesn't- Cici pokes Jack Jack sticks out his tongue
Wolfram	okay, Water/Ice type, right?
Cici	"Whose side are you on, anyway?"
Wolfram	right, lets look at my moves
Drufle (GM)	Yes. I outspeed you, of course.
Wolfram	oh?
Drufle (GM)	I have 6 speed!
Wolfram	6 is your base, then? Jack has developed a sudden hero complex
Cici	6 speed 6 spdef
Wolfram	fair enough
Cici	what the hell is his starter
Drufle (GM)	"Spheal, use Hail!" whoops
Frederick	"Spheal, use Hail!"
Wolfram	roll for hail?
Drufle (GM)	You don't roll. It just happens.
Wolfram	ah, okay hail, dang works the same as normal, right?
Cici	"Oh no, hail!"
Drufle (GM)	Hail does 1 damage to all non-Ice types the first turn they can be hit by it.
Wolfram	so not yet, then?
Drufle (GM)	And all non-damaging moves have a chance to fail.
Cici	"Non ice types will have a lot of trouble in weather like this!"
Drufle (GM)	After this round, you take 1 damage.
Cici	thanks for explaining the weather mechanics, cici Wolfram looks incredibly pissed
Drufle (GM)	But it's your turn now!
Wolfram	"SCCHCHHRRAAAAAWWW"
Cici	oh thats my favorite move scchchhraw Wolfram: Wolfram used Metal Claw! Target Spheal Roll 1 4 2 + 5 AC 13 Damage 3
Cici	ouch swing and a miss
Drufle (GM)	A miss!
Wolfram	damn it
Drufle (GM)	Took long enough, methinks. Wolfram lunges at the Spehal, but misses
Cici	did you end up taking atk focus then?
Wolfram	"Ssssssssssshhhh" yes
Cici	ic
Wolfram	Atk focus give me so many moves wait
Frederick	"Come on little guy, take out the shiny bird!"
Wolfram	yeah so I take 1 damage, then?
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Wolfram	this could be bad Drufle (GM): Spheal used Blizzard! Target Wolfram Roll 1 4 3 + 5 AC 15 Damage 2 Oh come on!
Wolfram	no don't even
Drufle (GM)	I can't hit nothing with these guys. Wolfram deftly flies out of the way of the howling winds
Cici	well you just brained him with a hailstone donk
Wolfram	Why did you use a move with reduced hitchance? you know I have high defensive stats
Drufle (GM)	Because it doesn't have a reduced hit chance.
Wolfram	oh, nevermind then
Drufle (GM)	Blizzard has perfect accuracy in Hail. Your turn!
Wolfram	ah, okay Wolfram used Metal Claw! Target Spheal Roll 5 1 5 + 5 AC 13 Damage 3 good enough
Drufle (GM)	Oof. Wait, 3? Wolfram digs in with his metal claws, then lifts the Spheal into the air
Wolfram	I have ATK focus
Drufle (GM)	Oh, nevermind. Wolfram then proceeds to slam the spheal into the ground
Wolfram	"Scraaaaaw!"
Drufle (GM)	Spheal takes a beating, and rolls back to his belly and glares at the bird!
Wolfram	ATK focus in action
Cici	chubby blubby wow he has more than 3 hp?
Drufle (GM)	HP Focus!
Wolfram	HP focus, of course
Cici	ic
Jack	fat pinniped
Wolfram	1 HP left for me but I only need one more hit Drufle (GM): Spheal used Blizzard! Target Wolfram Roll 6 1 3 + 5 AC 15 Damage 2
Cici	wait
Wolfram	ummm
Drufle (GM)	Oh come on now.
Cici	doesnt hail only hit you once
Wolfram	no, not quite
Jack	once per turn
Cici	so you still have 2 hp
Drufle (GM)	Yes, Hail only does damage once.
Wolfram	oh
Drufle (GM)	Otherwise it would be way OP.
Wolfram	alrighty then
Jack	>:I
Cici	yeah all the hazards are like that too i think Wolfram: Wolfram used Steel Wing! Target Spheal Roll 6 5 1 + 5 AC 13 Damage 2 Wolfram flies around and dives into the Spheal
Drufle (GM)	Good grief, this is ridiculous.
Cici	...not entry hazards tho
Drufle (GM)	I call shenanigans on the RNG.
Wolfram	my luck is very unbalanced
Cici	just like leech seed and stuff
Wolfram	either its really good, or really bad
Cici	yeah drufle you're getting your ass kicked
Drufle (GM)	Spheal takes a wing to the face and passes out!
Wolfram	and changes whenever it wants to spite Drufle
Frederick	"Wow... this doesn't look too good."
Wolfram	"Screeeeeeee!!" Jack is sad
Frederick	"Good thing I've got a good Pokemon on my side!"
Axel	"Oooookay...thats enough" "Wolfram, you have done enough" "Scary..." "Well Fred...remember Nickel from way back?"
Frederick	"Oh man, that thing?" "How is he even around still?"
Cici	it's... it's not here is it? oh god
Axel	"A lot of effort"
Frederick	"Dude gets into so much trouble!"
Cici	nickel-induced PTSD
Axel	"Well, you've always wanted to fight him"
Frederick	"Well, time for me to fight back!"
Axel	"Nickel! Get in here!" "Physical attacks only, buddy" Axel has a surge of confidence
Frederick	"Go, Cryogonal!"
Nickel	"Zzzzrt" -Long time no see- Nickel revs up
Frederick	"And I've got a trick up my sleeve, as well!"
Cici	fucking angry snowflake
Nickel	Hail hits next turn, right?
Cici	god damn Jack stares in awe at the MAGNIFICENT VISAGE of Cryogonal
Cici	mega snowflake Frederick grins wide and pulls out a skiing pole, with a small gem embedded in the handle...
Axel	"A mega?"
Frederick	"Hell yeah, brother!"
Axel	"Did all gym leaders get one?" "Well, alright, lets see it!" Frederick smiles wide and grasps the gem, and Cryogonal begins to glow!
Jack	unfortunately, mega cryogonal's form will have to be left to the imagination
Axel	I am not going to know what type it is, am I?
Jack	or drufle's imagination w/e
Axel	I am imagining a ton of spikes everywhere
Drufle (GM)	The snowflake gleams white, and when it returns to normal it is surrounded by plumes of light blue crystals, and its eyes gleam with a blinding white light!
Axel	welp, that ability helps nothing Cryogonal whirls its crystals around and roars!
Cici	D : Nickel is not amused
Axel	"Uhh...wow"
Nickel	"Bzt?" Drufle (GM): Cryogonal used Blizzard! Target Nickel Roll 1 4 5 + 5 AC 14 Damage 2 Finally! Barely a hit, but still a hit. Nickel gets pushed back by the blizzard
Nickel	when does hail END?
Drufle (GM)	Uhhhh.
Nickel	cause the last fight took a while
Drufle (GM)	According to the book, until someone changes it to something else.
Nickel	welp Nickel used Iron Head! Target Cryogonal Roll 1 6 3 + 5 AC 13 Damage 3
Drufle (GM)	Weather conditions are pretty nerfed in PPP, but they're all infinite duration now.
Nickel	I say that hits
Drufle (GM)	It does indeed!
Nickel	one more is all I need but now I'm at 1hp Nickel retaliates and slams into the Cryogonal
Nickel	making use of that poor Def gotta hit hard okay, your turn again "Zzzzzrt" Drufle (GM): Cryogonal used Hydro Pump! Target Nickel Roll 3 3 3 + 5 AC 14 Damage 3 Nickel looks unwavering
Drufle (GM)	This is just.
Nickel	Uhhh
Drufle (GM)	Not my day.
Nickel	whyyyyy?
Cici	3 3 3
Drufle (GM)	Well, I tried. Take your hit! Axel gets soaked from the Hydro pump
Axel	"galgpht!" Nickel: Nickel used Iron Head! Target Cryogonal Roll 4 2 4 + 5 AC 13 Damage 3 good enough
Drufle (GM)	Seriously look at this! Nickel charges straight for the Cryogonal
Nickel	its metal versus ice, what did you expect?
Drufle (GM)	I know I have poor defense but how do you hit every single move!
Cici	lmao
Nickel	Strictly because I made use of the worse stat I would not have hit my Flash Cannons strategy
Drufle (GM)	My goodness.
Nickel	AAND I have good defense of my own I outpower this guy in every way
Drufle (GM)	Well, that's it for Cryogonal!
Nickel	there was not chance for him to win Nickel stares down the Cryogonal ass it falls
Nickel	woops -s
Cici	ass stare
Nickel	as
Drufle (GM)	Nice.
Axel	"Alright!"
Cici	( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jack	:'(
Frederick	"Man, that's crazy!"
Axel	"Heh...good fight, Fred"
Jack	"congratulations, I guess..."
Axel	"I need a lie down..."
Frederick	"I'm gonna have to have a rematch with you at some time, when I have my better Pokemon with me!" "Until then though, I've gotta give you this..."
Axel	"I promise to come back for a rematch" Frederick reaches into his bag and pulls out a small badge, shaped like a light blue snowflake.
Frederick	"This here's the Windchill Badge! I haven't handed out a lot of these yet, you're pretty lucky!"
Axel	"I never thought I'd go through with this..." "Thank you" "For everything, really"
Frederick	"I think it's supposed to symbolize power and instinct and stuff, but I think it just looks cool." "Nah man, it's all fun!" "Oh wait, I have to give you this too..." Frederick fumbles around in his bag and pulls out a wad of Pokeyen.
Jack	all this sincerity and camaraderie is making Jack tear up
Frederick	"There ya go! 5000 Pokeyen, as promised."
Axel	"Ah, yes, thank you for that too" Jack 's tears freeze as they hit the floor
Cici	"Oh, get over yourself."
Frederick	"Well if that's all for now, I should probably go check on Beartic and Froslass. Make sure they haven't broken anything!"
Cici	"Hey, Frederick, wait a second."
Axel	"Ah, yes...oh?"
Frederick	"Heh? What's up?"
Cici	"Has the professor said anything to you about his research?" "Into the legendary Pokemon appearing, I mean?"
Axel	oh damn, I have 10000 pokeyen now
Cici	axel, lord of bling
Frederick	"Who, Hawthorne? Dude was here for like two days, I haven't had a chance to talk to him much."
Cici	"Typical."
Axel	"Ah...right...he does that a lot"
Frederick	"He made an announcement to the town about stuff happening, though."
Cici	"Well, in short, he said that he thinks there's some sort of... attack, or something, planned." "Like what Kyurem did but on a bigger scale. Rampages and whatever."
Frederick	"Yeah, that's it! He told us to watch out for crazy Legendary Pokemon messing with us!"
Cici	"So he said that he thinks the only way we'll be able to stand up to them is matching them in brute force." "So keep up the training, I guess."
Frederick	"Well hey, I got that in spades!"
Copper	-YO!-
Cici	"Your Pokemon did look pretty impressive out there."
Copper	-If ya need any dragons beaten up, I'm yer girl-
Frederick	"The cold does things to Pokemon, makes them tougher and quicker!"
Cici	"Why don't we trade Pokenav numbers and I can give you a call if anything comes up?"
Axel	"Your Pokemon were certainly fast"
Frederick	"Anything for the Prof's dudes!" Frederick hands Cici his Pokenav. Nickel puts in the numbers
Jack	whisper to Cici "Should we show him the braille orbs?"
Cici	"...Alright, got it! Thanks!" to Jack "No need to freak people out..."
Frederick	"Alright, I'm gonna head out! See y'all kids later!"
Cici	"See you later!"
Jack	"take care!" Frederick pulls a pair of skis from somewhere and slides across the slick floor out the door.
Cici	"Well, where to now?"
Drufle (GM)	Suddenly!
Jack	the whole city's on fire heatran followed us
Nickel	gasp!
Drufle (GM)	Walter begins glowing!
Walter	-Woah, what?- -too shiny!-
Cici	i cant believe he evolved into bayleef
Walter	XD
Cici	or togetic
Drufle (GM)	Wow, you recognized that sound?
Cici	im not positive actually i think it was togetic but i missed the first cry
Walter	"Grrrrowwl!!"
Cici	could have been wigglytuff too honestly... the squeaky ones all sound the same it was probably wigglytuff that was the gen 1 music "Oh, my!"
Walter	-Oh snap, bro! I got a cool hairdo!-
Drufle (GM)	I'm gonna play that again just for timing. I need to find a better long version of that. Walter has evolved into Luxio!
Jack	"what! so quickly!"
Axel	"Woah, wait, Walter!?"
Drufle (GM)	Yeah really, Shinx evolves at Level 3.
Cici	"Shinx is a species that evolves very quickly. There are a few types of Bug Pokemon that evolve faster, but it's still relatively quick."
Drufle (GM)	Luxio has Guts!
Axel	gotta wait till...level 5 now?
Drufle (GM)	I hope you didn't pick ATK as your high stat.
Axel	I didn't I picked Speed so now I have both
Drufle (GM)	Whenever Luxio has a status condition (any one, unlike the games) he has ATK focus in addition to his other one!
Cici	n i c e
Axel	Does this give him new moves while statused?
Cici	ye
Drufle (GM)	It does!
Axel	oh snap hrm
Drufle (GM)	You should check up which moves those are.
Axel	this will take a while
Cici	"Why don't we go get everyone healed up?'
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I think we should probably finish up here for today.
Jack	yah
Axel	hrm, maybe
Drufle (GM)	We have another half hour or so but I think we've accomplished enough.
Jack	gotta sort out moves
Drufle (GM)	Especially with an evolution! Man, I really wish you guys would roll more 6's on treasure tables. Fun things happen with those.
Axel	I wish so too
Drufle (GM)	Alright, Session over!
Cici	adios amiibos
Drufle (GM)	Everyone back to IRC.
Jack	I need more XP
Drufle (GM)	You have a fossil now! You can get EXP from that once it's revived.
Axel	Wow I gained...1 move from ATK focus
Jack	I get EXP for writing reports on revived moms
Drufle (GM)	Mhm.
Cici	im gonna ding between sessions if i get like any work done on these entries
Jack	which I still haven't done for Cambria I think
Drufle (GM)	You have not!
Jack	I'll do that for next time
Drufle (GM)	I also remember that I buffed the EXP for those.
Jack	ooh!
Drufle (GM)	The book says you only get 1 EXP for a report, but that seems silly considering how rare they are. I think I boosted it to 2 or 3, I forget.
Axel	oh wait, I got metal claw too
Drufle (GM)	I'll have to check.
Jack	either way's cool
Axel	2 EXP for Jack is good I vote more EXP
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, GM out!
Axel	alrighty then c ya
