Drufle (GM)
true
ok uh
wow does anyone know what session it is

Horanoven A.
8??

Drufle (GM)
i dont have the slightest clue
8 sounds rightish

Horanoven A.
I'm thinking 8
pretty sure last one was 7

Moppy
have fought any actual trainers
beyond gyms

Horanoven A.
we haven't, actually

Drufle (GM)
this is true

Moppy
well there you are

Drufle (GM)
thats mostly because it would require me finding more person pogs

Horanoven A.
we've never fought a Joey

Drufle (GM)
also you cant really do three-person fights with trainers

Moppy
if you don't have that PSS bust set then I can get it to you

Horanoven A.
three v three?

Drufle (GM)
yeah thatd be nice

Moppy
where is the Terrible Trio

Drufle (GM)
3v3 would be possible sure

Horanoven A.
Yongster Trio. Joey, Jimmy, and Jesse
All rattatas
we could just train
level up, get more evo

Cici
arent trainers' licenses not being distributed here yet
or whatever
so the only trainers would be like
people who came over with the gym leaders and stuff

Moppy
that's a handy excuse

Horanoven A.
Hrm, that is an excuse

Cici
other people with special permission like us
so there could be gym trainers besides the leaders here already
and there could be citizens with pokemon
but there wouldn't be like, kids wandering around fighting everyone in sight
this ain't kanto

Drufle (GM)
well i have three pokemon ready

Horanoven A.
yay

Drufle (GM)
i hope youre prepared for a sound beating

Moppy
did u know that the Origins anime said that 10 is legal adult age there

Cici
im over in the dining hall i just gotta get Fud

Horanoven A.
that...is very low

Cici
i think at 10 i knew my multiplication table
i was really good at pokemon, tho

Moppy
how to excuse kids wandering the country unsupervised 101

Axel
that is just way too low
I get the target audience

Drufle (GM)
Alright, let's see what we can do here.

Axel
but why would they need to say the age?

Moppy
because of what you just mentioned
the kids need to feel powerful
thus, in the fantasy world, they can do what they want

Axel
kids can assume, damn it!
what if the kid was 9 and had to be a 10 year old protag

Drufle (GM)
They can do whatever they like.
So are we going to use trainer pogs or just have guys show up and be invisible?
Because I can do that too.

Axel
sure, make em invis if you want
I mean, why not?

Drufle (GM)
Fair enough.
It's a chilly morning here in Tanzan Village.

Axel
it is
why don't we have jackets yet?

Drufle (GM)
Uhhhh.

Moppy
imagine jackets

Drufle (GM)
I figured you would just have them?
I mean you can probably buy some if you'd like.

Axel
Nah, that costs money

Moppy
axel use that brain ur better than this

Axel
if those kids from Diamond and Pearl can handle the north, so can we

Drufle (GM)
Oi Mopp, do the impersonation thing.

Axel
become the Will

Jack
d

Axel
or jac
woops

Drufle (GM)
Nice, nice.

Nickel
"Bzt"

Drufle (GM)
Zap zap.
So yes, you've all woken up from the Pokemon Center.
Probably exhausted after walking through the mountains for another day.

Jack makes another what a long nap joke

Axel is asleep on top of Tungsten

Cici is getting breakfast

Cici
like for real tho brb

Axel
I refuse to wake up

Drufle (GM)
Sounds about right.

Jack
who is tungsten

Axel
I remember that much
Mah berd

Drufle (GM)
The Skarmory.

Jack
his name was Wolfram
wasn't it

Axel
oh wait, I changed it to Wolfram
or...rather..wait
I had a Skarmory in ORAS name Tungsten
The on in here is Wolfram

Jack
game confusion

Axel
dang it

Jack
happens to anyone

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, this says Wolfram.

Axel is asleep on WOLFRAM, refusing to wake up

Axel
just another name for Tungsten

Jack
"how on earth..?"
cuz its covered in knives

Axel
not everywhere
the back is pretty safe

Drufle (GM)
He is mostly knives though.

Axel
just roll with it
wings are folded up
is fine

Cici
little axel cubes all over the floor
rip in peace

Axel
D:

Jack
"Axel get up. We need to do [INSERT TASK HERE]"

Wolfram wakes instead, looks up at Jack, and groggily shoos him away

Wolfram
"Zzzrrrr"

Jack
in this session, we don't do anything because of one grumpy stork

Axel
you aren't trying hard enough

Jack
I have
literally zero enthusiasm for this today
it's been too long

Axel
alright then, lets pick up the pace a bit
I think phoone is getting fud

Axel rolls off of Wolfram and wakes up

Jack
let's just wait until she gets back

Axel
"Who...? What?"
we can talk a little

Jack
"I can't believe you managed to fall asleep on a skarmory, of all things"

Axel
"Oh...hi Jack..."
"I had a long night"

Wolfram squawks at Jack in protest

Nickel enters the room and lifts Axel off the ground
Nickel:
Physical Training
Check: 13 is that enough to lift Axel? I dunno

Drufle (GM)
Yes.

Nickel
yay

Jack
you know that these checks really don't matter in a situation like this

Nickel
Mission Success

Jack
if nickel was dangling you over a precipice then yes

Nickel
I use them to decide if I want a funny moment

Jack
oh right

Nickel strains as Axel is slowly lifted up to his feet

Jack stretches

Jack
"aagh, I can't remember what we were here for at all"
"but I _really_ could do with a battle to get my blood running"

Axel
"Ummm...right"
"Where are my notes??"

Axel checks pockets

Jack
"I don't mean with you, you'd cream me"

Axel
"I'm not that competent, just lucky"

Cici
"Don't be so sure about that, Jack."

Cici laughs

Axel
"Where are my notes...?"

Nickel
"Zzzzrt"

Cici
"Although Nickel might give you a run for your money."

Jack
"oh hallo Cici. How's the food here?"

Cici pats Nickel's head condescendingly

Nickel pulls out Axel's notes

Nickel
"zzt"

Jack
that's a real good way to get yerself shocked, phoone

Nickel
watch the antenna

Cici
"Standard Pokemon Center faire, I suppose. A little drier than usual. Probably because they have to get it shipped in from farther away."
"It's free, I'm not complaining."

Jack
"good enough. just push me in the right direction"

Wolfram is looking at the foof from over Cici's shoulder

Jack shuffles off

Wolfram
food
how did I foof?

Jack
how do I shot FooF

Moppy
oh

Cici
what

Moppy
I forgot about armstrong the trubbish

Cici
foof

Moppy
I named my mudkip that in AS :)

Cici
Strong

Axel
ohhhh
its a good name

Armstrong carries Jack out into the other room

Armstrong
strong

Jack
"wah!"

Armstrong
flex

Axel
"Umm..right, Jack, I'll meet you there"
"That way's breakfast, right?"

Jack
what if all pokemon just said their nickname
whatever their pokemon speak is changes when you name them

Axel
Ummm
I don't imagine Pokemon speak much as is

Jack
AAAAAAAAA the victreebel
anime accurate

Cici
'you will be... herpes'
the pikachu screams in rage but only 'HERPESSSS' comes out
truly these monster-sealing rituals are barbaric

Axel
That'd be horrifying
hilarious, but horrifying

Axel enters the food court (I guess?) and gets breakfast

Drufle (GM)
The food was from, like, some kind of cabinet.
If I remember right.

Axel
Okay then
I get it out of a cabinet then
so, when do we fight

Drufle (GM)
Well, I was assuming you'd leave the center at some point.

Jack
RIGHT NOW pokecenter destroyed

Drufle (GM)
Smash crush bang

Axel
kablooy

Drufle (GM)
I can bring the trainers in the center instead, but you'll still probably have to fight outside.
Don't think Nurse Joy likes having Pokemon battles in her center.

Jack
let's just skip to going outside

Axel
don't anger the Chansey. Its a bad idea

Jack
eat food, feed and water mons

Drufle (GM)
Sounds good to me.

Jack
these are all not nnecessary to cover
conservation of detail at work

Drufle (GM)
Fair enough.
The party walks outside into the morning cold, but the clouds that covered the sky last night have left.
It's bright and sunny, especially with all the white snow to reflect light around.

Axel
the sun! Finally
Oh arceus, too bright!

Jack
"aagh, the snooooow"

Axel squints from all the light being reflected literally everywhere

Jack whips out COOL SHADES

Axel
"How do people handle this?"

Axel glasses shift from clear to dark

Drufle (GM)
You see a couple of people walking around with thick black sunglasses.
They're used to this.

Axel
"Oh right...I forgot about that feature"
"You alright, Cici?"

Cici
ghh
go on
ppl annoying me

Axel
oh, always people
Axel was actually asking you, though

Drufle (GM)
Three of the people walking around notice you and your Pokemon, and walk towards you.

Axel
uh oh
brace yourself for cheesy battle cry!

Jack
"oh no, we locked eyes"

Cici
"Good morning!"

Jack
"as we all know, that can only mean one thing..."

Drufle (GM)
The three of them are tall and burly men, one of whom is carrying what appears to be a hammer.

Axel
"Wait, what? We did what?"
"oh, uh, good morning gentlemen"

Cici
"Come on, Axel, did you even pass trainers' school?"

Jack and brunt take turns cowerin beind each other

Jack
*cowering behind

Miner
"Hey, new kids! We haven't seen any foreigners up here for a while."

Axel
It scares me that Brunt is actually large enough to cover you
I see two Brunts

Cici
"Oh, we're just passing through."
brunt 2 brunt harder

Jack
let's just say that's _their_ bergmite

Axel
hmmm
or the miner himself

Miner
"So you're trainers, huh?"

Axel
who knows???
"Er, yes"
We technically are trainers

Miner
"Great! Hey, we haven't had much of a fight in weeks. The only other trainer around here is the gym leader, and he's always working."
"Whatd'ya say to a 3 on 3?"

Axel
gotta get my notes
"Uhhh..."

Jack
"that'd be great! whaddya say, guys?"

Axel looks at the others

Axel
"Sure...why not?"

Nickel
"Bzzzzrt zzzt"

Cici
"I'd love a good warmup..."
"Very well. We accept."

Nickel
now...do I nuke everything with Nickel? Or do I send someone else out

Miner
"Alright!"

Drufle (GM)
Cici, what Pokemon do you want?

Axel
bye bye other brunt
before we start, I want Wolfram out first
Nickel can wait
I'm expecting Ground attacks
to be possible

Wolfram
Caw Caw, mo-fos

Wolfram leaps up in front with a shrill battlecry

Jack
I cannot remember where I wrote down the movelists

Wolfram
in your notes?
err...okay, not there

Drufle (GM)
Cici seems to be preoccupied by the peoples.

Wolfram
always the peoples

Jack
it's on my google doc, but I know I had it somehwere else more readable

Cici
aaaaaaa
ghghghghg
ok

Wolfram
peppols not leaving you alone?

Cici
ye
i had the eevee in the pc right
i think so

Wolfram
at least one eevee

Cici
so i have the other 6 with me
alright then
"Victor! I choose you!"

Jack
drufle question

Cici
"...God, I haven't said that in YEARS."

Jack
do all my mons level separately

Axel
"Okay...Wolfram, be careful"

Cici
jack: no it's just your trainer level
and they all have your starter's stats

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, only you have levels.

Cici
so leveling starter stats levels your whole team

Axel
except HP

Cici
evolution is based on trainer level too

Axel
If you have the right Trainer level and your mon participates in battle, the evolve

Moppy
fucking lag

Cici
if you get strong enough you can just poke a larvaitar and it'll evolve into tyranitar

Drufle (GM)
Basically, yes.

Jack
ok

Axel
I still need to buy an evo item

Jack
so if I reach a given level I can evolve all my mons who need that level at once?

Cici
i think it's after a battle with them

Drufle (GM)
Provided they're in a battle, yes.

Jack
okay then

Axel
they just have to be there, I think

Jack
well I don't fight enough, so brunt it is for now!

Drufle (GM)
They at least have to participate.

Brunt is eager to bust some heads

Axel
The power of Frost and Steel

Drufle (GM)
Cici, what would you like to use?

Cici
victor
sorry
thought you saw that lo
l

Axel
Victor von Venipede

Drufle (GM)
Nope, sorry.
The miners grin and throw out their Pokeballs!

Axel
lets see what nonsense the pull out
Thems fighting types

Drufle (GM)
Godspeed, fellas.

Axel
Not what I expected
but I chose well
And Cici chose best

Cici
confident!

Axel
Bug/Poison gives no shits about fighting moves

Cici
god i wish i could use asterisks
im slow af someone else start

Drufle (GM)
Fighting resists Bug, though.

Axel
not poison

Drufle (GM)
True.

Axel
and 4x resist give a disadvantage
I think

Drufle (GM)
Medicham has 6 speed, what else do we have?

Axel
I have 5

Jack
why did I ask for this

Drufle (GM)
My speeds are 5,4,6 from left to right.

Axel
I gotta roll off with Hitmonlee
rolling 2d6 ( 1 + 3 ) = 4
welp

Cici
oh wait really

Drufle (GM)
It's a 3v3, you can fight whoever you want.

Axel
I dare you to do worse

Cici
i guess i might outspeed machoke then
gimme the middle man

Axel
We can change targets on the fly, Cici

Drufle (GM)
rolling 2d6( 6 + 1 ) = 7

Axel
you failed the dare

Drufle (GM)
That's for Hitmonlee.

Axel
I am sad

Drufle (GM)
So he goes faster than Wolfram.
Jack and Cici, roll to outspeed Machoke.

Axel
I am at least third now

Drufle (GM)
rolling 2d6( 5 + 2 ) = 7

Axel
7 again

Axel
777

Cici
rolling 2d6( 1 + 5 ) = 6
son of a fuck

Drufle (GM)
So, so slow.

Axel
Brunt has to roll too
4 speed, right?

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, he needs to roll as well.

Axel
can he beat a 7?

Jack
(what is it again)

Axel
rolling 2d6( 5 + 3 ) = 8
err

Drufle (GM)
A 2d6, yes.

Axel
I meant to show the command, not execute it

Jack
rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4

Axel
./roll 2d6, not 1d6

Jack
rolling 2d6( 3 + 6 ) = 9

Drufle (GM)
There you go.

Axel
Brunt -> Mach -> Victor

Drufle (GM)
Yes.
Medicham is first!

Axel
so Medi -> Hit -> Wolf ->the above
alrighty then
do we all say our attacks?
just all at once?
wait, that seems hard

Drufle (GM)
No, we'll just go sequentially.

Axel
alright then

Cici
say our attacks, out loud, like the animes
RISING UPPERCUT
Drufle (GM):
Medicham used Shock Wave!
Target Wolfram
Roll 6 4 2 + 6
AC 14
Damage 2

Axel
crap

Cici
i guess we do say them but i immediately interpreted it as 'shouting mid-attack'

Axel
waaaait

Cici
rip in peas

Drufle (GM)
Sorry, that's actually 3 damage.

Axel
still hits, but that is not my AC
I think
no wait, its fine

Cici
doesn't nickel have 5 spdef
yeah

Axel
continue onward
welp, I'm out
right away
shit

Drufle (GM)
Next?

Axel
Hit
is next

Jack
I don't think we are meant to win this fight

Drufle (GM)
Well, you have 6 Pokemon each.

Axel
I'm not puting my next mon in until next round

Drufle (GM)
They only have one.

Jack
oh

Axel
I'm not letting you hit everything I have

Jack
yeh this ain't gen 3 no more

Axel
Medicham has 6 spatk? jeeze
Drufle (GM):
Hitmonlee used Hi Jump Kick!
Target Victor
Roll 1 2 5 + 7
AC 15
Damage 2
Well then.

Cici
yikes

Drufle (GM)
Ouch.

Axel

Cici

Axel
that is a miss

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, that's one damage to him.

Cici
wait
with disadvantage against me
thats a 10 isnt it lmao

Drufle (GM)
Yes, I'm aware.

Cici
god
rip these guys

Axel
he missed severely

Cici
i just need to take medicham down before it uses psychic attacks on me really

Drufle (GM)
Brunt, you're up!

Axel
I tanked the Medicham's attention

Drufle (GM)
Luckily for you, Fighting doesn't resist Ice.
Only Rock, Bug, and Dark I think.

Axel
Medicham is the biggest issue
Jack:
Brunt used Icy Wind!
Target Machoke
Roll 2 1 6 + 4
AC 14
Damage 1

Cici
:(

Axel
uh
bad start

Drufle (GM)
That'd be a no.
Machoke's turn!

Jack
no to what

Axel
the hell is Machoke doing with 5 SPDEF

Drufle (GM)
It doesn't hit.

Jack
at all? ok

Axel
doesn't Icy Wind have an increase in something?
it does only 1 damage

Jack
-1 damage, and freeze chance
but if GM sez it misses, it misses

Axel
is that it?

Drufle (GM)
It's a 12 against a 14, no that does not hit.

Jack
okeydokey

Axel
I was thinking it had a higher hit rate or something

Cici
lemme at em coach
i can take em

Axel
Mach is next
Then Victor

Jack
what is even the point of -1 damage restrictions it's so much more limiting than I think the devs intended
Drufle (GM):
Machoke used Seismic Toss!
Target Brunt
Roll 5 5 5 + 8
AC 15
Damage 3

Axel
uhhh

Drufle (GM)
Yikes.

Axel
these guys have much higher attack than us

Brunt is still standing, somehow

Brunt
2/5 buddy

Drufle (GM)
Well then, Victor?

Cici
yeeps

Axel
Medicham doesn't resist bug

Cici
"Alright, Victor, let's go for a Toxic!"

Drufle (GM)
It's neutral, yes.

Cici

Victor used Toxic!
Target Machoke
Roll 2 2 2 + 5
AC 14
Damage 0

seriously

Drufle (GM)
Wow, rolls are not on your side today.

Axel
ummm, remember GUTS

Jack
...does it matter?

Axel
Pretty sure Machoke can have guts

Jack
its toxic

Cici
is that one of those ones that are so low i get a bonus xp
i forget what the number was

Drufle (GM)
1/2 or 1/1.

Cici
ah

Drufle (GM)
Very close, but not quite.

Cici
couldnt even get taht :I

Drufle (GM)
And yes, Machoke does have Guts!

Cici
good to know

Axel
Yeah, lets not status that

Cici
ill do hitmonlee then

Axel
ever

Drufle (GM)
If you give him a status condition, he gets ATK focus.
Also, Hitmonlee is immune to status conditions.

Axel
are you serious?
how!?

Jack
limber

Drufle (GM)
So you should probably focus on Medicham with that.

Axel
LIMBER

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, limber.
Well, speaking of which, it's Medicham's turn!

Axel
That blocks all status!?

Drufle (GM)
I think it does, lemme look.

Axel
I have to send someone in now

Drufle (GM)
Sorry no, he's only immune to paralysis and burn.
Who will you send in?

Axel
Copper

Jack
oh good, so he can't just limbo out of a block of ice

Axel
I'm running out of options

Cici
too flexible to be contained by mere ice

Copper
"Jingleling!"

Jack
not that I'll ever freeze anything

Cici
fairy sure does have a type advantage

Copper
-Yo, Dragon Hunter Copper here to save the day!-

Cici
statuses would be really nice guys
ive got Plans

Copper
I don't have fairy moves

Cici
...well at least you aren't weak to fighting?

Copper
I'm just not weak to fighting
yeah

Cici
lol

Copper
I'ts a work in progress

Cici

Copper
"Kling kling!"
Drufle (GM):
Medicham used Superpower!
Target Copper
Roll 1 6 3 + 5
AC 15
Damage 3
Nuts.

Copper
yeah no

Drufle (GM)
At least I tried!

Copper
my DEF is too stronk

Drufle (GM)
Alright Hitmonlee, you're up.

Copper
do you dare kick the keys?

Axel recalls Wolfram
Drufle (GM):
Hitmonlee used Focus Blast!
Target Copper
Roll 5 4 2 + 4
AC 14
Damage 2

Axel
"I am just getting targeted here"

Drufle (GM)
I dare, and I miss.
Copper's turn!

Axel
Hitmonlee is not a special attacker

Cici
whiff

Jack
unfocused blast

Cici
copper runs in circles screaming

Copper
-Copper von Klefki...AWAY!!
Copper used Flash Cannon!
Target Medicham
Roll 5 5 1 + 6
AC 15
Damage 2

Jack
"get 'im copper! jab 'im in the eyes!"

Drufle (GM)
Ouch!

Copper
hell yes
-Get rekt, skinny boy!-
"Klingaling!"

Drufle (GM)
Alright, damage noted.
Brunt?

Cici
i cant believe medicham got dissed by keys
about its body

Copper
-The keys are not to be trifled with-

Jack
as much as I'd like to keep trying for freeze, this is too high-stakes a match for chances

Copper
I really should get either Thunderwave or some Fairy moves

Jack
"Brunt! just bloody bite somebody!"

Copper
go for STAB
Jack:
Brunt used Ice Fang!
Target Medicham
Roll 2 5 5 + 6
AC 14
Damage 2

Cici
noiiiice

Copper
YEAH!!

Drufle (GM)
A hit! Drat!
Alright, damage noted.

Cici
the greatest move, the Bloody Bite

Copper
Noted, Medicham has worse DEF than SPDEF

Drufle (GM)
Machoke's turn!

Jack
half of it's thin as a rake, the other half is a blood bag

Copper
who is Machoke punching?
Drufle (GM):
Machoke used Fire Punch!
Target Copper
Roll 2 5 4 + 8
AC 15
Damage 3
You!

Victor shrieks

Copper
Coverage everywhere
not STAB though

Victor
it means something to the effect of FIRE BAD

Copper
7 + 8 is...15

Drufle (GM)
Nah, but it still hits!

Copper
damn it
you really don't like me
like, at all

Drufle (GM)
Well I just don't like Copper.

Copper
"KLANG!!"

Drufle (GM)
He's a very strong Pokemon!

Copper tumbles to the ground

Victor
god i cant believe you guys focused the one pokemon i could have used my poison combo on

Copper
I'm going to have to fight a little dirtier then

Victor
and it's still not dead
ill just have to use like, normal attacks i guess

Copper
just kill it

Drufle (GM)
Alright Victor, your turn!

Axel
Hitmonlee doesn't have poison immunity either

Drufle (GM)
He does not, no.

Axel
just burns and parlyz

Cici
"Finish off that Medicham! Give it a bug bite!"

Axel
if you don't kill it, I'm going for it
Cici:
Victor used Bug Bite!
Target Medicham
Roll 4 4 6 + 5
AC 14
Damage 2
woohoo

Drufle (GM)
Ouch!
And out goes the Medicham.

Axel
"What did I ever do to get hit by all this?"

Jack
"great hit, victor!"

Cici
"You're the one who keeps throwing out pokemon with types they're weak to."

Drufle (GM)
I'm not entirely sure why you guys were so focused on him, but good job!

Axel
"I don't have better options!"

Cici
i don't like psychic attacks

Jack
he worried me

Drufle (GM)
Fair enough.

Jack
medicham have diverse moves

Axel
wanted to keep Victor alive

Drufle (GM)
New round, send out a Pokemon Axel!

Jack
and can mega evolve!

Cici
fire punch is a lot less dangerous than psychic lmao

Drufle (GM)
Well, I didn't have a mega stone for him anyway.

Axel
also now we know Machoke has diverse moves too

Drufle (GM)
I figured that would be a little silly.

Cici
i'll try and focus down the hitmonlee next

Jack
but the option was there

Cici
you guys handle machoke

Axel
okay, next mon
ummm

Jack
okk

Axel
Walter
Bring out the cat

Walter
"Mrrrooooar!"

Drufle (GM)

Walter jumps around a bit

Walter

Drufle (GM)
Alright Hitmonlee, have a go.

Walter

Drufle (GM)
Sigh.

Cici
hitmonchan just has tiny feet

Axel
wow

Drufle (GM)
Really with these?

Cici
that are entirely nonthreatening

Axel
those rolls
right when we needed them

Drufle (GM)
Alright, Brunt is up.

Jack
lee has alien hands though
how can it form a fist

Axel
it is, right now
look at the pic

Jack

Axel
that's a fist of some sort

Jack
"awright then brunt, make it rain!"
(ice)

Drufle (GM)
Icy rain!

Axel
light em up (with ice)

Cici
brunt looks back in confusion
it doesn't know rain dance!!!

Axel
reflect the sun into their eyes!
Jack:
Brunt used Icicle Spear!
Target Machoke
Roll 2 4 4 + 6
AC 14
Damage 1

Cici
brunt tries REALLY HARD to use rain dance! he just dances all over the place

Axel
that's good

Drufle (GM)
A hit!
Jack:
Brunt used Icicle Spear!
Target Machoke
Roll 3 1 4 + 6
AC 14
Damage 1

Drufle (GM)
Not a hit!

Cici
aaand a near miss

Axel
how is Machoke having less physical def?

Cici
1 is better than nothin

Jack
"s'alright brunt you did yer best"

Axel
watch this joker have a ground move

Drufle (GM)
Machoke's stats are really weird.

Axel
just watch him

Brunt still hates himself for not doing BETTER
Drufle (GM):
Machoke used Focus Punch!
Target Victor
Roll 3 6 1 + 8
AC 15
Damage 3
CRACK

Axel
wait, what?
How does Focus Punch work?

Drufle (GM)
+1 damage, 1 damage to me if it misses.

Jack
oof

Axel
ech

Drufle (GM)
It's just Hi Jump Kick in punch form.

Jack
that's a dead centipede

Axel
just another High Jump Kick
WAIT
hang on
-1 damage

Cici
+8?

Axel
Victory resists

Cici
seriously?

Axel
Victor
sorry

Jack
it's still a dead pede

Cici
no it's a miss
disadvantage
that's 3 + 1 + 8

Axel
+ STAB though

Cici
i have a quad resist

Axel
which neutralizes it

Cici
it overrides

Jack
so many options!

Axel
so neither adv or dis

Cici
no it's still a disadvantage

Axel
so it just uses the first two

Cici
i effectively have two disadvantages to his one advantage

Drufle (GM)
... no, it's neutral.

Axel
3+6, sorry phoone

Drufle (GM)
Where does the second disadvantage come from?

Cici
????

Axel
I still don't think that Pede is dead

Cici
i have a x4 resistance
bug and poison both resist fighting

Axel
Yes Cici, but the move has STAB

Drufle (GM)
Yes, that means it does -1 damage and has one disadvantage.

Axel
Stab gives an Advantage

Jack
ahh

Axel
so neutral

Cici
oh is quad resist -1 damage and 1 disadvantage ratehr than 2 disadvantages
yes i know how stab works

Drufle (GM)
Yes.

Axel
yes
2x resist only reduces damage

Cici
so i take 2 damage then.

Drufle (GM)
I mean I forgot the resist, so if you had 3 hp then you're still in.

Axel
normal resist, I mean

Cici
that's what im Saiyan
jeeeeeeeeeez

Axel
Victor is at 1 HP

Drufle (GM)
Alright good, glad that's cleared up.
Victor!
Have some retaliation.

Axel
Only in Tabletops can you debate the very fabric of reality

Cici
victor is horribly confused but has decided that he's still alive
probably.

Axel
That machoke needs to die though

Cici
"Don't give in now! Give it a toxic!"
Victor used Toxic!
Target Hitmonlee
Roll 1 6 1 + 5
AC 14
Damage 2
or don't
whatever

Axel
of all things

Cici
that was supposed to say 0 damage
oh well
:I

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, I'm aware.
Walter's up!

Walter
-All part of the plan-
"Mrow!"
Walter used Thunderbolt!
Target Machoke
Roll 6 5 5 + 6
AC 15
Damage 2
That's more like it

Drufle (GM)
Ouch, there's some damage.

Walter leaps onto the Machoke's back and unleases a Thunderbolt

Drufle (GM)
Hitmonlee's turn!

Axel
"Excellent work, Walter!"
"Don't let go!"

Cici
god walter's really doing work

Drufle (GM)
Hitmonlee uses Bulk Up!

Cici
angry cat

Axel
shit

Cici
oh no
he's bulky

Drufle (GM)
Brunt, your turn.

Axel
Finish Machoke NOW
We can't handle both, and Machoke is closer to fainting

Jack
wat does bulk up do

Axel
increase ATK and DEF

Jack
ok

Axel
is bad for us

Drufle (GM)
He has a +1 to all physical attacks, and -1 to all physical attacks against him.
Damage wise, I mean.
Jack:
Brunt used Ice Fang!
Target Machoke
Roll 2 3 5 + 6
AC 14
Damage 2

Drufle (GM)
The pain!

Axel

Drufle (GM)
Are you kidding? No, he is not.

Axel

Drufle (GM)

Cici

Drufle (GM)
Hey Brunt, guess what!

Axel
Can you hit a cat on your back?

Jack
seismic toss on the back cat

Drufle (GM)
Counter!

Axel
uhhh
no check for hit?

Cici
rip

Axel
just auto?

Cici
good bye

Drufle (GM)
Counter automatically hits, and does the same amount of damage done to him.

Cici
r i - oh

Axel
hrg

Cici
he'd live that right

Brunt shatters to pieces and perishes without ever doing anything important

Drufle (GM)
+1 actually, since it's a Fighting move against an Ice type.

Axel
good thing I don't use physical attacks

Cici
you did damage at least

Drufle (GM)
Doesn't need to be a physical attack!

Cici
not like axel's first two pokemon ;p

Drufle (GM)
The wonders of Counter.

Axel
seriously!?
Damn you, Machoke

Cici
does counter consider weakness in this game?

Axel
send in a poison type

Jack
I'm not sure if brunt has ever actually mannaged to KO anybody ever, really

Drufle (GM)
It does, yes.

Cici
actually does it in vanilla too
i'm not sure

Jack
we should have noted down kills

Drufle (GM)
Alright Victor, go ahead!

Axel
Cici: it doesn't

Cici
little notches in his side lmao
"Try that again, Victor! Come on!"
Victor used Toxic!
Target Hitmonlee
Roll 3 1 4 + 5
AC 14
Damage 0
god

Axel
this isn't working

Drufle (GM)
Man, I'm starting to feel bad about this.

Cici
these are abysmal

Jack
which deity did you piss off tonight

Axel
Walter, I need you to do something
"Walter, finish this, quickly!"

Cici
my sinning has taken its toll on the whole party

Drufle (GM)
Jack needs to send out a Pokemon first!

Axel
right

Jack
oh!

Cici
oh was that enough to KO?

Axel
Armstrong

Cici
i thought brunt was at max hp

Axel
or wait

Jack
yeah I was on 2

Drufle (GM)
No, he had already taken 3.

Axel
what do you have, Jack?

Cici
...welp

Jack
right then

Cici
we are getting absolutely destroyed

Axel
you have a Fairy Type!

Drufle (GM)
You still have like 9 Pokemon left!

Cici
it's a show of mercy the miner hasn't pulled out another pokemon lmao

Axel
My mons are not condusive to Fighting Type fighting

Jack
hang on
drufle when you hit me the first time
did you take def focus into account

Axel
oh snap, I don't think he did

Drufle (GM)
I did not, no.

Jack
oh well

Axel
BRUNT LIVES

Jack
water under the bridge

Drufle (GM)
I mean, Counter did 3 damage anyway.

Axel
Or does he?

Jack

Axel

Drufle (GM)
Who will you send out?

Axel
Clear is part Fairy

Jack
Cambria!

Axel
okay, sure

Drufle (GM)
Alright Walter, your turn.

Axel
Welp

Walter
Do I get a bonus for being on this dude's back?

Drufle (GM)
I don't think so, no.

Jack
hold your horses
Walter:
Walter used Thunderbolt!
Target Machoke
Roll 1 4 3 + 6
AC 15
Damage 2
bugger
hm?
what is it, Jack?

Drufle (GM)
I would give you an advantage but I don't think that helps much.

Cici
wacko on his backo

Walter
is Machoke at a Disadtage, at least?

Cici
i dont think 'on his back' is a game mechanic

Walter
I mean, I'm hard to reach, surely

Jack
wait for my turn, if I live

Walter
It should be

Drufle (GM)
I'm gonna agree with Cici here.

Walter
damn it

Cici
you cannot, unfortunately, go wacko on his backo
Drufle (GM):
Machoke used Dynamic Punch!
Target Walter
Roll 5 3 5 + 8

Drufle (GM)
Thwack!

And now I have a disadvantage.

Cici

Cici

Axel
"Walter!"

Cici
walter is just dead

dead

Axel
we need better stats
so badly

Cici
these guys are RIPPED
machoke doesnt even evolve until like
level 4

Axel
I swear, if he's actually dead I'll be pissed

Drufle (GM)
Hey, you guys were the ones that told me I should up the stats of the enemies!

Cici
it makes sense they're tougher than us

Drufle (GM)
So I did!

Jack
I never said such a thing!

Cici
i like the challenge

Axel
I didn't think you'd just pick on me

Jack
I wanted easy exp!

Drufle (GM)
Ok, well, Axel said that.

Cici
im just pissing myself anyway

Axel
I'm kinda ineffective here

Drufle (GM)
Blame him.

Cici
axel your pokemon are just so
punchable

Jack
blame accepted!

Cici
and squishy

Axel
"I don't think I can help much more"
Blame aquired

Cici
"We'll handle the rest!"

Drufle (GM)
Ok, I think Cambria is up next.

Jack
"get something out here to be a meat shield at least!"

Axel
by harder I didn't mean "flat out counter everything I have"

Cici
"Let him go, Jack. He's gotta take care of his Pokemon."

Axel
"I'll try, but I'm running out of options"

Drufle (GM)
Shoot some water!
Or something!

Jack
"well my strategy's gone out the window now"

Axel
Nothing I have can survive a single hit from these guys

Cici
meanwhile the miners are like 'how many fucking pokemon do these guys HAVE'

Jack
just shoot it
""

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, the miners are kind of concerned themselves.

Cici
how much damage has the machoke taken?
like 4?

Drufle (GM)
"THEY JUST KEEP COMING"

Axel

Drufle (GM)
Over and over.

Cici
there are no winners here

Axel
our rolls are awful

Drufle (GM)
Alright Axel, send someone out!

Axel

Jack
we have switched places

Axel

Jack
this is your curse

Axel
"Err...Nickel, I think its your turn"

Jack
everyone, check your houses for voodoo dolls

Cici
you have someone fast?

Drufle (GM)
Man, remember Medicham?

Cici
fast would be nice
oh man medicham

Axel
Walter was my fasted

Cici
with those wacky special attacks
good times

Nickel
"Zzzt"

Drufle (GM)
Remember how everyone focused on Medicham because he was totally the big threat?

Nickel
do I roll off again?

Drufle (GM)
No, if you have 5 speed you stay in your spot.

Jack
I bet if we had let him live he'd have joined the team

Nickel
alright

Drufle (GM)
Hitmonlee! Go!

Cici
i figured it'd take this long to kill machoke lmao
medi is way squishier

Nickel
They all have coverage
Now watch the ground move come out

Cici
earthquake

Jack
drufle this is as infuriating as monster hunter, may we know how much we have taken off the machoke?

Cici
everyone dies

Nickel
I have to survive Hitmonlee

Cici
except machoke, who dodges

Drufle (GM)
One sec!
Hitmonlee used Seismic Toss!
Target Nickel
Roll 3 5 4 + 7
AC 15
Damage 5

Cici
jack: if i had to guess

Drufle (GM)
THWACK

Cici
he's got either 6 or 7 hp
and we've done 5

Nickel
DAMN THIS

Cici
so another good hit should do it
5 damage

Drufle (GM)
As a note, Machoke has 4 hp left.

Cici
WHAT

Drufle (GM)
Hitmonlee has 3.

Jack
augh

Cici
im laughing so hard holy shit

Nickel
HOW THEY HELL DOES IT HAVE THAT MUCH!?

Cici
steroids

Nickel
Welp, I'm down

Drufle (GM)
Machoke has HP focus, +1 HP, and a base of 6.

Cici
nickel doesnt even come all the way out of the pokeball
hp focus...

Nickel
He wasn't even in the ball
He's always out and about

Cici
AND the 8 attack?
or is it 7 attack
i havent been paying much attention

Jack
"god, I feel bad for you now, Axel!
"

Nickel
I can do literally nothing

Cici
either way

Drufle (GM)
Machoke's options are HP and ATK, and I get ATK from guts anyway.
Go, Cambria!

Cici
maybe we should start putting level up points into stats lmao

Axel
"I'm useless here!"

Cici
ive been putting mine into trainer stats

Drufle (GM)
In case you're wondering why it did 5 damage.

Cici
yeah where'd all that come from

Drufle (GM)
It's +1 from Bulk Up, +1 from super effective, and Seismic Toss does +1 if I have less HP than you.
Jack:
Cambria used Water Gun!
Target Hitmonlee
Roll 1 5 6 + 4
AC 15
Damage 2

Drufle (GM)
ACK

Cici
hey a hit!!

Axel
wait, WAIT

Cici
seismic toss sounds awesome, btw

Jack
tried someone else for a change~

Cici
i gotta get that shit

Axel
I do not have more HP than Hit

Drufle (GM)
I would hope you do!

Cici
it's got 3 remaining dude
1, now

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, it's current HP.
Not max.

Axel
jeeze

Drufle (GM)
Well, Machoke's turn!

Axel
I forgot it missed a High Jump Kick

Cici
"Nice hit, Cambria!"

Axel
Does Cambria have a physical attack?

Drufle (GM)
Fun fact: I deliberately tried to take off HP from Hitmonlee for Seismic Toss.

Cici
cambria takes advantage of the hitmonlee suplexing nickel to squirt him with a refreshing beverage

Cambria ^__^

Drufle (GM)
It's a good move!

Cici
gatorade gun

Cambria
Axel I have no idea

Cici
drufle: intentionally missing hi jump kicks
incredible

Cambria
without my sheet for each mon
I'm just going by what I have ordered on the doc

Cici
you have rock moves at all?

Axel
4 SPATK is not helpful here
Drufle (GM):
Machoke used Focus Punch!
Target Victor
Roll 6 1 2 + 8

Cambria
I think so but I can't be sure
it wouldn't help here anyway

Drufle (GM)
I think that's a hit?

Victor counts on his tiny fingers

Axel
that hits, damn it
just barely

Victor nods, then keels over

Drufle (GM)
That's 15, so yes.

Cici
"Sssssssssssssssshoot."

Drufle (GM)
I finally took out one of Cici's Pokemon!
Whoooooo!

Cici
achievement get
god have any of my pokemon fainted
ever

Cambria
brah-vough

Drufle (GM)
Alright, both of you toss out some new Pokemon.

Cici
this is new and exciting

Axel
Okay, so we now know that Hit has only 1 HP
focus there

Cici
"Hm... Terry! Finish them off!"

Axel
"Uhh...ummm"

Drufle (GM)
I am so, so tempted to have the Miners use a Potion.

Cici
loooll

Cambria
Terry Cloth, the Battle Bin

Axel scrambles though the remaining team

Cici
cambria: yes thats his full legal name

Drufle (GM)
If I didn't have to leave in like 40 minutes I absolutely would do that.

Axel
Rochelle
I have Rochelle and Chrom left

Cici
eternal pokemon hell

Axel
"I'm down to Rochelle, this is bad"

Drufle (GM)
Ok, uh, Hitmonlee!

Axel
"This is bad this is bad this is..."

Cici

Cici

Cambria

Cici
bulk up is good

Jack
"you did well, my friend"

Rochelle doesn't make a sound, just falls over as the Hitmonlee flies past towards Cambria

Drufle (GM)
I am so, so happy with this.

Rochelle
I bet you are

Cici
this is honestly so funny to me

Jack
it's his welcome reversal of fortune

Drufle (GM)
I like the idea of these two just suplexing Pokemon left and right, immediately as they come out of the balls.

Cici
we just fight some randos and they absolutely wreck us

Rochelle
I guess its my turn

Drufle (GM)
Yep!

Rochelle
what did Rochelle have??

Cici
"We will overwhelm them with numbers!"

Drufle (GM)
Man, I hope the gym battle is as good as this.

Cici
some kinda rocky tthing?

Drufle (GM)
It probably won't be.

Cici
rock... rock hit?
rock punch

Jack
"not with THIS luck we won't"

Cici
rockstorm
rock rock
use rock

Rochelle
a lot of moves

Jack
rock out

Cici
"QUANTITY OVER QUALITY"
wait uh
actually

Rochelle
damn it, I have to waste the ATK bonus

Jack
rochelle jams on a bass

Cici

Drufle (GM)
Oh!!!

Jack

Cici

Drufle (GM)

Cici

Drufle (GM)
Is good point.

Rochelle
It only have 1 HP

Cici
and is even tankier on physical def now

Drufle (GM)
All physical attacks do -1 damage to him.

Cici
oh i figured it was -1 to hit

Rochelle
No

Cici
W E L P

Drufle (GM)
No, it's damage.

Cici
mistakes were made

Rochelle
this is so bad

Drufle (GM)
Well, Rochelle!

Cici

Jack

Cici
'just punch me or whatever. god'

Drufle (GM)
Oh, that actually hit.

Cici
wait did that actually hit and kill

Drufle (GM)
Wow.
COUNTER

Rochelle shoves the Hitmonlee to the ground and drops rocks everwhere

Cici
'JUST FUCK OFF'

Drufle (GM)
No I'm kidding.

Cici
'SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS'
everyone just takes a second to be like

Rochelle
Rochelle can't speak
at all

Drufle (GM)
She just throws herself headlong into the Hitmonlee.

Cici
'jesus christ'
just kinda looking at each other

Jack
"woooooow"

Cici

Rochelle
Rochelle is a badass, though

Drufle (GM)

Drufle (GM)
Ah, nice.

Axel
"Wow...uh...nice job, Rochelle"

Drufle (GM)

Axel

Drufle (GM)
Oh yeah, I used Superpower at some point.
Forgot about that.
Whelp!

Jack
there's something I'd like to address when this is over

Axel tumbles out of the way

Drufle (GM)
Could've sworn that was just Hitmonlee, but anyway.
Terry!
Go ahead!

Rochelle is buried a little, but unharmed

Rochelle
Both used it, I know
Soft snow saved Rochelle

This can't be more confusing than a Pathfinder battle
also congrats, Cici

Jack
there is a particular thing

Drufle (GM)
Also I totally read that in Cr1tikal's voice.
Rochelle!

Rochelle
We just need to write things down

Cici
[insert 5 gifs of people screaming and sobbing on their knees in black and white]

Rochelle
no Jack?
where is Jack

Cici
drufle: good that was my intention

Rochelle
mon?

Jack
um
Moraine I guess
the geodude

Rochelle
Rock Type supremacy!

Cici
the other two miners are just like
gone
they went out for lunch hours ago

Jack
they went inside the pokecenter

Drufle (GM)
The Medicham guy left, yeah.

Jack
they're watching through the window
in the warm

Drufle (GM)
The Hitmonlee guy is still confused about what happened to his Pokemon.

Jack
with coffees

Rochelle
rocks everywhere
you know what

Drufle (GM)
Rochelle, have a go!

Rochelle
this is a silly move
No bulk up, right?

Not yet, no.

Drufle (GM)
A hit and a miss!
Amazing!

Rochelle bumbles over and just slaps the Machoke

Rochelle
in the shins

Jack
with what

Rochelle
that thing on top

Jack
ok
the nub

Drufle (GM)
Alright, uh.
Moraine!
I think!

Rochelle
So Machoke could Bulk Up to avoid move Double Slaps
if it has it

Jack
now I brought out moraine cause I figured that ground moves would be handy, but I think you'd all hate me if I used magnitude right now

Drufle (GM)
Of course he has Bulk Up, I just didn't think it would be necessary.

Rochelle
Please don't Magnitude
Do you have another move?
if you don't, go For STAB for better chances

Jack
guess it's just rock throw now ' 3'

Cici
magnitude would ohko our entire team if it hit
Jack:
Moraine used Rock Throw!
Target Machoke
Roll 4 5 1 + 6
AC 14
Damage 2

Drufle (GM)
Why not Magnitude? It doesn't hit your team.

Cici
wait
it doesn't

Rochelle
oh, it doesn't?

Cici
small earthquake

Rochelle
well, use Magnitude then

Jack
oh well next turn

Drufle (GM)
No, of course not.

Cici
too late he hit

Rochelle
Rewrite

Drufle (GM)
And Fighting resists Rock anyway.

Cici
o

Rochelle
Machoke is at 2 HP then

Cici
is that a 1 damage hit then?

Jack
brained it

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Cici
ok
yeah
wooooo

Rochelle
Who's turn? Machokes?

Jack
cherry tap to victory

Drufle (GM)
Of course, you may have made a terrible choice.
Because he is now at 2 HP, which means he has less health than all of you.

Cici
oh no
super saiyan

Drufle (GM)
Fun time!

Cici
he could ohko all of us already really

Rochelle
I hate that move
so much

Cici
it's just easier now

Rochelle
Cici has a point
Drufle (GM):
Machoke used Seismic Toss!
Target Rochelle

Drufle (GM)

Cici

Rochelle
The sword swings both ways

Jack

Cici

Cici

Jack
glass teeth don't work

Rochelle

Cici
terry gets confused about what i mean by 'now'

Jack
I think you have hurt something exactly once this whole fight

Cici
he starts peeing on a lamppost
'bad dog!!'

Drufle (GM)
Pfffff.

Cici
'no!!'

Axel
"Um...Okay, keep Double Slapping, Rochelle"
"At least until Bulk Up comes out"
its my turn, rihgt?

Drufle (GM)
Yyyyyyes.

Cici
the music ended
when'd that happen

Drufle (GM)
Oh, did it?

Drufle (GM)
I do believe I'm messed up.

Cici
nice work nerds

Rochelle
ROCK TYPES FOREVER!

Cici
yeah drufle ur one messed up dude

Axel
"Yes! Yes!"

Jack high-fives everyone

Axel
"Moraine, you did it!"

Drufle (GM)
And it only took, what, 8 of your Pokemon?
Something like that.

Moraine high-fives terry and rochelle

Axel misses and gets hit in the face

Cici
"Well, that was a lovely fight."
"I think I'm going to go peel Victor off the side of that house over there."

Axel
"Oh, I need to find Walter!"

Miner
"Well, you kids have got some tough Pokemon!"

Moraine
"Yeah.... that was... rough"

Victor shrieks quietly

Axel
"You're Pokemon are really strong as well"
"Um...did you see where my cat went?"

Cici
"We all need quite a bit more practice, I think."

Miner
"We put a lot of love into our Pokemon, the gym leader makes certain of that."

Drufle (GM)
I do like the idea of you three standing there triumphantly.

Brunt has pulled himself back together and is sulking some distance away

Axel
I'm going to have a Bad Time with the Gym Leader, arn't I?

Drufle (GM)
And in the background like half of your pokemon are just lying shattered in the distance.

Cambria Rose Again after 3 minutes

Drufle (GM)
This was about as Pyrrhic a victory as you could've possibly done, methinks.

Axel
"Oh? What type is the Gym leader? Fighting?"
no one dies in Pokemon, its fine
how much EXP? 3?
That was a 3, at least
heck, maybe 4
we were ground down pretty hard

Miner
"Oh no, he's a Dark Leader! His Pokemon are nasty things, but he himself is the sweetest man!"

Axel
"Ah, okay, thank you"

Cici
2 exp per fight mate

Drufle (GM)
I'm giving you 3 for this.

Cambria
but in the end, we ground them down!

Cici
wow
okay
no objections

Drufle (GM)
Technically yeah, you can't get more than 2.

Cici
"Your Pokemon are masterfully trained."

Drufle (GM)
But that, uh, was rather intense.

Axel
"Now...uhh...Rochelle, Chrom, help me find Walter"

Miner
"Thank you miss! Your little Poison types are pretty tough themselves!"

Jack
cici remember you have 4
from that snake eyes

Cici
yeaa
power levelin

Axel
I'm at 5 EXP

Cici
"They're quite tenacious, aren't they?"

Axel
half way there
Drufle, can I build a Walter Locator?

Cici
I go to pat Terry on the head. He is peeing on the lamppost again.
"Bad Trubbish! Down!"

Drufle (GM)
He's over there, on top of the Pokemon Center.

Axel
I don't know that

Drufle (GM)
:P

Axel
and I need to make a device of some sort

Cici
hes just hissing like crazy and trying to hold on with his claws

Jack
"I admit I didn't think my team were going to make it"

Cici
slowly slides off the roof

Axel
Walter is unconcious, I'm sure
after that punch

Cici
"I think we all just need to learn to work together a bit better."
Axel:
Aptitude
Check: 14

Miner
"Yeah, it is sort of unfortunate that your team was mostly weak to ours, but you still came out in the end!"

Axel tries to make something to find Walter

Jack
"I was all ready to help out Axel's Luxio, but it got booted out!"

Axel
"Why don't pokeballs have tracking devices"

Cici
"Axel he's right there."
"He's falling off the roof, Axel."

Drufle (GM)
Axel makes a pair of glasses!

Cici
"You're standing directly underneath him, Axel."

Axel
Ummm

Jack
"I was gonna have cambria use water sport, and give him super-lighting!"

Drufle (GM)
I mean seriously, he's right there.
Kind of like 20 feet away up a bit.

Cici
"The pissed-off, enormous cat is now on your back, Axel."

Walter falls on top of Axel

Cici
"You're bleeding, Axel."

Axel
"I'm bleedi-Ah!"

Axel falls down

Axel
can I log the Glasses Schematics?

Cici
"Sometimes I think I might be a psychic."

Axel
"Help? I can't reach his pokeball"

Cici
"Come on, Terry, let's go figure out which snowdrift Nickel ended up in."

Axel
"I don't think he's conscious"

Rochelle walks up with Nickel on her head

Rochelle
How is she carrying him?

Cici
game mechanic: every time our pokemon get thoroughly Owned they fly off into the distance and we have to go find them

Rochelle
who knows?

Cici
it's a minigame

Drufle (GM)
That's pretty much how I imagined this fight went.

Cici
i figured it was just a lot of intense dodging and then like

Drufle (GM)
Every time I said THWACK, a Pokemon just got sent flying away.

Rochelle
I did not expect Rochelle to do so well

Cici
we'd whiff an attack and then get slammed into the wall
another pokemon comes out
another whiff

Axel
Yet she pulled through

Cici
another WHAM

Cambria is slowly rolling her way back to Jack

Brunt is still being a bitch

Drufle (GM)
I really enjoyed Hitmonlee's Insta-Suplexes.

Cici
shes too bad at fighting for the machoke to predict her movements and hit her
thats my theory

Axel
"Okay, I've got Walter and Nickel back now...Wolfram is here still..."

Cici
she just kind of wandered around randomly

Axel
"Copper is...near"

Cici
"Maybe we should head back inside."

Axel
Rochelle only wants you to think she's infectual

Jack
"augh, I'm gonna have to go and look at Brunt guys. His pride is really fragile"

Jack trudges away

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, we're gonna have to wrap this up soonish, I've got to be heading out.

Axel
"Err...yes, lets bring everyone in"
let me log schematics for glasses

Jack
everyone goes to heal the mons

Axel
gotta get that 1 EXP

Jack
tape ice and shell back together

Cici
:(
poor lil bergie

Rochelle sits in Axel's lap

Drufle (GM)
Alright, go ahead.

Jack
Brunt is a vehicle for my own id

Axel logs schematics for glasses...made of ice???

Axel
maybe

Drufle (GM)
Someone recognizes this music, right?

Cici
yeah its uh
Snowy Town
sweats

Jack
this is undertale isnt it

Drufle (GM)
:P

Axel
It sounds pokemon

Drufle (GM)
It's Undertale!

Axel
Oh, undertale
I have not played that game yet

Cici
well ive never heard it
im absolved of Sin

Drufle (GM)
Aw, really? It's Snowdin Town!

Jack
I didn't even get to this bit in the game

Cici
ive been trying to avoid music spoilers

Jack
and I fucking knew

Axel
Welp

Cici
avoiding plot ones is impossible but i can be surprised by music
lol

Drufle (GM)
Seriously?
I thought everyone had played it by now.

Axel
nah mon

Drufle (GM)
It's been almost two months.

Jack
I can't get into it!

Cici
my mic wont record anymore for some reason

Jack
I still resent the presentation!

Cici
so i might end up streaming instead of making a video series...

Drufle (GM)
:P

Axel is writing down notes about that battle

Cici
and in that case i need to find a time when a good number of people can watch

Drufle (GM)
Just watch an LP then, there's plenty of good ones.

Jack
I have alpha sapphire and smash bros to do

Axel
Rochelle for Smash 4

Cici
alright whatever session over etc

Drufle (GM)
Anyway, I gotta be off.
Everyone out!

Cici
we all heal and then cry a bit or vice versa

Jack
I'm glad we were here

Cici
ass was kicked
mostly ours

Jack
thank you evrryone

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, this was nice.

Axel
when does Rochelle evolve again?
level 5?

Drufle (GM)
I'll try to have actual things for next time.
I'll tell you in IRC.
Shoo!
