Horanoven A.	I am down to 87% battery from the 10 minutes I've had this computer on
Drufle (GM)	Good grief. We might have to cut this one a bit short then, but that's fine. I mean this is the third session this week. So this is session 11 if I remember correct. Certainly getting up there.
Horanoven A.	its been quite a ride yep, its 11
Drufle (GM)	I don't remember what my initial estimate was.
Moppy	ten I think
Drufle (GM)	Er, I don't believe that's the case. Or at least I certainly hope I didn't think that.
Horanoven A.	yeah no, I think maybe it was "10 more" rather than 10 total
Drufle (GM)	We've been averaging about three sessions per gym, so I was expecting maybe like 20-25 total. Which means that we should be about halfway done by now, which we kind of are. 3/7 is halfish.
Moppy	gotta go gen 6 and drop all the story bombs on us at once
Drufle (GM)	That's not too far from what I'm expecting.
Horanoven A.	where is phoone
Drufle (GM)	Although I'm hoping to be less "all at once" than XY was.
Horanoven A.	time is ticking on my laptop
Moppy	I have messaged them since she did say last time that it took tumblr ten or so minutes for her to receive mine
Drufle (GM)	We can probably just go ahead and start for now, I don't think we need everyone immediately.
Horanoven A.	okay
Drufle (GM)	Although that does depend on what you guys were planning on doing.
Horanoven A.	umm
Drufle (GM)	Pretty sure you didn't have a plan!
Horanoven A.	what were we even doing?
Jack	I was going to fly to tormalia on my own and deal with some stuff!
Drufle (GM)	You had just put a ton of money into the ranchlab.
Jack	if that's alright with you
Drufle (GM)	And then you were exploring the nearby forests a bit. Yeah, go ahead! That sounds fine to me.
Jack	okeydokey
Axel	what will I do then??? hmmmm
Drufle (GM)	I'm trying to remember exactly where the labranch was. I think it's the intersection just north of the B location?
Axel	we can fly, that's not all that important anymore
Jack	"Guys, I've got some stuff to do in Tormalia. Is it okay if I go on my own?"
Drufle (GM)	But yeah, it's just like an hour or so to get to Tormalia from here. By flight, of course.
Axel	"Oh, sure"
Jack	"or do I need an escort? :P"
Drufle (GM)	Oh, let me put some actual music on.
Axel	Axel just needs somethine to do
Drufle (GM)	You were planning on reviving the fossils and getting a mega ring, right?
Jack	hyes
Drufle (GM)	You can spend this hour making a device if you'd like, I suppose.
Jack	ah, the fwoop of a tumblr
Drufle (GM)	Find something to do around the area.
Axel	what kind of device?
Drufle (GM)	Go help Aidan, maybe?
Jack	phoone is on her way
Axel	sure, lets make something for Aiden
Cici	hope yall werent waiting for me too long god waht a mess
Drufle (GM)	It's 10 minutes past, so not really no.
Cici	idk if you guys know but my cat was at the vet for the past 2 days
Jack	oh dear!
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear.
Cici	they ewre trying to get a urine sample because we think he has a UTI
Axel	D:
Cici	but he wouldnt pee he went 48 fucking hours without peeing
Jack	that's a fuckin bladder stone
Drufle (GM)	Deary me, that sounds bad. Yeah, I'm with Jack on this one.
Axel	yeah that's pretty bad
Cici	and they sent us home with this special cat litter that was supposed to help get a urine sample so we seal him in a room with the litter box and my sister's bag of dance equipment
Jack	oh boy
Cici	which she needs for nationals, which she leaves for in 2 hours GUESS WHERE HE DECIDED TO PISS
Jack	aughh
Drufle (GM)	What a cat.
Axel	saw that coming
Cici	me TOO
Axel	bloody cat doesn't like the doctors
Cici	i was like why the fuck would you leave that stuff in there he ONLY pees on important things like paperwork and peopels expensive purses
Jack	must do it for attention
Cici	(actually tho he likes to pee on soft things instead of litter boxes for w/e reason sometimes) (again probably part of the UTI) ANYWAY
Drufle (GM)	Good afternoon, everyone.
Cici	i had to persuade my mom not to kill the cat lets play pokemon
Drufle (GM)	Jack is off to Tormalia for a quick shopping trip.
Axel	good thing mons don't piss
Drufle (GM)	Anything you'd like to do in the short meantime?
Jack	you are welcome to come with, Cici
Axel	make a thing for Aiden get EXP before I get carsickness
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, alright.
Cici	hmm idk what id buy!
Drufle (GM)	Does Cici need anything? I don't think she does.
Jack	do axel's thing first he's on the timer
Cici	yea i dont think i do iim Goode Axel: Aptitude
Check: 11 oh god damn it
Jack	is there private messaging here
Drufle (GM)	Yep. I sure see that.
Axel	oh right, Druf has access to everone
Jack	ok
Drufle (GM)	In case you were wondering, I don't think you can actually hide things from me. Also, you don't actually need an aptitude check to make the device. Just to use it.
Axel	oh what do i roll then?
Drufle (GM)	Nothing, you just make the thing.
Axel	really???
Drufle (GM)	Then you roll an appropriate skill for the device and add your aptitude.
(To Jack)	Yep!
Axel	I could've sworn I had to roll to make the thing
Drufle (GM)	So Axel, perhaps you can help Aidan with some of the groundbreaking?
Axel	I can't pull up the doc because battery
Drufle (GM)	Since you guys are making so many buildings around now.
Axel	sure, lets help Aiden get EXP
Drufle (GM)	Alright, so that's what you're doing for the hour or so Jack is gone. What's Cici doing?
Cici	well i got those messages i donrt know how to respond heheh is it just /msg
Jack	slash w my name
(To Jack)	Yeah, I figured as much.
Axel	being secretive are we?
Cici	hes just catching me up
Axel	careful, you might make Nickel suspiciou
Drufle (GM)	Cici could help with her Grass Pokemon, or do a bit of wilderness searching? Or just hang out and watch Aidan and Axel break things.
Cici	what exactly is aidan up to bee tee dubs construction?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he's called the renovations company. They should be coming soon to start work on the land.
Jack	release the aerosaurus
Drufle (GM)	They've got a lot of work around!
Cici	my pokemon arent very well suited for physical labor tbh
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, they're all pretty tiny aren't they.
Jack	"All aboard who's coming aboard!"
Cici	ill explore the area a bit oh are we going to town now
Jack	if you want
Drufle (GM)	Jack is, yes.
Cici	fuck how much cash did i have left after last time lemme check
Axel	my Physical Training is really bad
Drufle (GM)	Not a lot, I would imagine.
Jack	you can do your own thing if that's better for u
Cici	oh wow ive got 21k left lmao
Drufle (GM)	Er, what?
Cici	i only spent like $7
Drufle (GM)	Did you spend anything on the ranchlab spree?
Jack	...did you subtract anything
Cici	$7000*
Axel	she didn't use a lot of hers
Jack	oh
Cici	7 dollars
Drufle (GM)	Wow.
Jack	okay!
Drufle (GM)	Incredible!
Cici	i bought a gumball
Jack	well since I require a scene change do my thing last
Drufle (GM)	Well if you'd like, you can make an attention check to go look for some treasure/Pokemon.
Cici	ill come with ye to Towne
Drufle (GM)	Or that, sure.
Cici	spend Muns Jack does a u-turn
Drufle (GM)	Off to Tormalia!
Axel	alright, see you guys I need to deal with this carsickness Rodan leaves a hideous gouge in the dirt
Axel	bleh...
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, try not to hurt yourself. We'll be back soon.
Cici	:<
Rodan	how do you even have internet inside the car uh I mean SKREEEE
Drufle (GM)	Pfffft.
Axel	tether through phone
Jack	oh so that's what that was
Cici	rip ur data plan
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, it's pretty rough.
Jack	"Jeez! landing inside the city wasn't a good idea!"
Axel	no matter what, I'll never do as much as my sister does
Drufle (GM)	This song is so good, I love it.
Axel	she takes about 90% of the data each cycle
Drufle (GM)	Yikes. So after about an hour's flight, Cici and Jack land in Tormalia City. Somewhere, who knows, really. Just a vaguely open area. Rodan stands at the head of the wake of chaos he caused by landing on the main street
Cici	the Aerodactyl Helipad lets assume they have somewhere for flying pokemon to land ?
Drufle (GM)	I imagine there's gotta be some kind of place in the center of the city, yeah.
Rodan	yeah that makes sence
Drufle (GM)	This sort of thing happens all the time. The two of you land near the city square, in the middle of all the bustling people. The Center and Mart are right nearby, as well as a myriad of other shops. A couple of peddlers and other strange folk dot the crowds here in the center of the city.
Jack	"there's a few things I want to do, but I don't know what order."
Cici	"Let's head into the shops. I still want to see if I can get this weird stone identified."
Jack	"ah, good call!"
Axel	does Druf remember what that even is?
Drufle (GM)	There's a jewelry shop right in the center, you can probably check it there.
Jack	"I'll see if I can find a place that sells evolution stones and stone accessories"
Drufle (GM)	Oh I reread all the session logs. Yes, I remember.
Axel	okay
Cici	"How about right in here?" Cici leads Jack towards the jewelry shop
Drufle (GM)	This store isn't very crowded, with just a few people browsing the racks and shelves of necklaces and bracelets.
Moppy	I have this powerful urge to have jack try and turn this into a date, but it'd break character too hard as well as decorum.
Axel	and theres the age gap
Drufle (GM)	A woman laden with various accessories sits behind the counter with some goggles.
Moppy	that too
Cici	cicis gay as fuck
Jack	"I feel that this is more of an ordinary jewellery store, Cici" I completely forgot about that, sorry Jeweler sees the newcomers and waves them over.
Cici	"Well, maybe they'll recognize the stone anyway." "Good morning!"
Jeweler	"Good morning, good morning! How goes the day, little ones!" Jeweler raises her goggles and looks at the two of you.
Jack	"very good, thank you"
Jeweler	"So, got anything in mind? Birthday present for the mother, perhaps?"
Axel	pfffft I saw that coming from a mile away
Jack	"ah!, erm uh"
Cici	"Actually, I was wondering if you could help us identify this stone?" Cici presents the Weird Rock Jack blushes Jeweler raises her eyebrows.
Drufle (GM)	You know, when I said mother, I meant your mother. Not Cici.
Axel	too late
Cici	dont make this weird
Jack	it was too good a joke to pass up
Axel	the thought is there Jeweler takes the bright pink stone from Cici.
Axel	weird has happened
Jeweler	"My oh my, what a wonderful specimen!" Jeweler drops her goggles with a quick nod and holds the stone up close.
Jeweler	"Mm, mm, oh my! Excellently cut, vibrant color, and so weighty!"
Jack	full of carats Jeweler puts the stone down and peers at Cici through her weird magni-goggles.
Jeweler	"Where did you find this, young lady?"
Cici	"A Gardevoir gave it to us as some sort of gift, out on the road out of town." "I haven't been able to figure out quite what she expected us to do with it, though...."
Jeweler	"A Gardevoir? Most curious indeed." "Well, I don't know what she was doing with it. This is a Kalosian diamond!"
Axel	woah, fancy Jack: Attention
Check: 13
Cici	"Oh my!"
Jeweler	"Commonly taken from a Carbink, but this one is of exceptional quality! It's most likely from a Diancie."
Axel	whaaaat
Cici	"A Diancie? In this area?"
Axel	I thougth it was just eviolite I was wrong Jeweler shrugs.
Jack	I thought it was gonna be a shart of that big crystal that acted as a Mega Stone Radar
Jeweler	"Don't look at me! I'm not a ecological scientist, I'm just a jeweler." Cici giggles
Cici	"Thank you for your assistance, ma'am. You've been very helpful!"
Axel	the plot thickens
Jeweler	"Of course, of course. I don't suppose you'd be willing to part with it?"
Cici	does the diamond do anything or should we sell it for BIG MUNS
Jack	"I have no idea how you'd even extract a diamond from a Diancie. Can they just take them off themselves?"
Axel	it came from a Diancie, it must do something, right?
Drufle (GM)	The point behind it was actually just to point out that there are, in fact, Diancie in the area. If you'd like to sell it, go ahead.
Jack	huh
Axel	oh well
Drufle (GM)	Although it might have Things to do later, if you'd like to keep it.
Axel	Add Diancie to the "Randomly appearing legendaries" list
Cici	"I only deal with organic matter, so this is a bit outside of my specialty..."
Drufle (GM)	Nothing too special, or plot-vital.
Cici	"What do you think, Jack?"
Drufle (GM)	(this is basically code for "i can totally come up with a good reason to keep it later if you want me to")
Cici	gotcha
Axel	it was a gift maybe don't give away gifts?
Jack	don;t give me a choice of futures man
Drufle (GM)	It's worth 50k pokeyen if you plan on selling it. Eh, maybe 40k.
Axel	the fact that we can probably get that ourselves is staggering
Jack	"I have a feeling tickling the back of my brain that it might be more beneficial to hold on to it, Cici" (to jeweller) "sorry, miss."
Axel	we got half once from ONE treasure trove
Cici	"Gardevoir do work in mysterious ways..."
Jeweler	"Of course, of course. A Gardevoir's gift must be something important indeed!" Cici sighs
Axel	they move, in mysterious ways Jeweler hands it back to Cici.
Jack	"maybe it was just a really generous personality!"
Cici	"Well we'll certainly let you know if we find anything else like this!" "Thank you so much!"
Jeweler	"If you find any strange metals or jewels, just let me know."
Jack	"thank you for this. There is something else you might be able to help with, however"
Jeweler	"Oh?" Jack produces glaceonite
Jeweler	"Oh!"
Axel	you think she might have a keystone?
Jack	"would you happen to sell key stones, or things to store them in?"
Axel	I guess she is a jeweler
Jeweler	"Is that a piece of Glaceonite? Very rare, very valuable! Of course, just one second young man." Jeweler walks into a back room and you hear some rustling.
Axel	we can afford this right? we didn't spend everything yet Jeweler returns a few seconds later with a a large, rainbow-colored jewel and a box. Jeweler holds up the jewel to Jack.
Jeweler	"This is a keystone, we just got a fresh shipment last week! I can put it on any kind of jewelry you like for a small fee." Jeweler points to the box. Jack 's eyes light up
Jeweler	"This here is your classic 4th edition Megatic Holding Box. Very handy! It uses Pokeball-like technology to shrink Mega stones for easy carrying."
Cici	"Oh, how lovely!"
Jack	"I have another funny feeling that'll come in real handy for us"
Jeweler	"I sell keystones for 3k pokeyen a piece, and an extra 1k for the jewelry fitting. The boxes are an extra 1k if you'd like one!" Jeweler turns to Cici.
Jeweler	"Would you like a keystone as well?" "I'll sell you two Mega Accessories for 5k if you'd like a bundle deal."
Cici	"Ooh..." Cici turns to Jack
Cici	"Maybe we should get one for Axel, as well. We can certainly afford it..."
Jeweler	"Another friend? How about 3 for 10?" "I'll throw in the box for free!"
Jack	"I think that'd be best"
Cici	"Sounds like quite a deal to me!" "We'll take it!" Jeweler grins.
Axel	careful what you say around traders. They know how to part you from your money
Jeweler	"Great! Any idea on your fittings?" Cici produces $10000 for the 3 keystones and the box Jeweler accepts the money and slides the box over the counter.
Cici	"Maybe we should phone up Axel and ask him what he wants... or maybe just surprise him."
Jack	"aw, I was gonna split it with you" Cici shakes her head
Cici	"Don't worry about it!"
Jack	"okay, thanks so much!"
Jeweler	"I've got rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, cuffs, even a few anklets!"
Cici	"I was thinking maybe a necklace for myself? "
Jeweler	"Although those anklets aren't very popular."
Jack	"those big spiraling ones? I can understand why!" Jeweler shrugs.
Axel	too big
Jeweler	"Some people like some odd things!"
Jack	"I think I'll have a brooch, please" (do we even have cell phones)
Jeweler	"Of course! Perhaps a bracelet for the friend? Ooh, or maybe a bolo tie!"
Drufle (GM)	Of course you do, Jack.
Jack	"hang on a sec, I'll try calling Axel"
Cici	"For Axel it'd have to be something he couldn't lose..."
Drufle (GM)	I'm assuming we're at the state of technology that you guys can contact each other easily. Jack does the thing
Drufle (GM)	RING RING Axel responds to the thing
Cici	"Maybe we can fuse it into the back of his head." Cici snorts
Drufle (GM)	pfffft
Jack	"he'd never find it there!"
Drufle (GM)	Just fuse it into Nickel.
Axel	"Uh yes, hello?"
Drufle (GM)	He'll never lose it.
Axel	"Find what where?"
Jack	"Hi Axel, it's Jack here. We're at a jeweller's getting key stones fitted, and we're wondering what you'd like!"
Axel	"Oh, okay"
Jack	"choices are from bracelets, necklaces, brooches, cuffs, and even bolo ties!"
Axel	"Cuffs sound nice" "A tie wouldn't go with my labcoat..."
Cici	handcuffs lock them onto his wrists
Jack	"and here I thought it'd suit you! but ok, I'll tell the lady that's your choice?"
Axel	"Y-yes please" "and thank you"
Jack	"okey, see you in a bit, bye!"
Axel	"bye"
Jack	click
Jeweler	"Cuffs! A wonderful choice, very nice."
Jack	"darn, did I have loudspeaker on again?" grumbles
Jeweler	"So a necklace, a brooch, and a cufflink. Alright, can do! Just give me a while, it takes a bit to fuse the stone into the fitting. " "Come back in a while and I'll have everything ready!"
Jack	Mega Cufflinks wouls be absolutely impossible btw "okay, thank you very much!"
Axel	Steven stone had them, I thought
Jack	he had a "stickpin" in his breast pocket or lapel either/or
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he had the weird pin.
Axel	oh well
Drufle (GM)	So you can go do the rest of your shopping now. It'll take a little bit to finish up the jewelry.
Cici	"Bye!"
Jack	"Okay, off to the lab!"
Drufle (GM)	Now, because you've actually been there before. I'm pretty sure you guys can find the lab without too much difficulty. But give me an attention check just in case. Jack: Attention
Check: 16
Drufle (GM)	Hot dang.
Jack	pshoo
Axel	better than Axel/10
Cici	10 outta 10
Drufle (GM)	Jack points a direction and we go THAT WAY.
Cici	ill brb guys i just gotta take my dishes out assume im followin along n stuff :>
Drufle (GM)	You return to the same fancy-looking lab, and Dr. Cailan is still there, working away at weird machines.
Jack	kk
Cici	i dont really have anything to do @ lab anyway
Jack	"Hello there Mr. Cailan!"
Dr. Cailan	"Oh? Well hello again, more fossils from our resident archaeologist, I presume?"
Jack	"yes indeedy! A Root and a Skull fossil this time."
Dr. Cailan	"Two! Very nice, very nice indeed. Well, give me a quick second to clean these up and analyze them. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes, I've gotten quite good at this!" Dr. Cailan chuckles to himself.
Jack	did he explain how this worked when we first were here
Drufle (GM)	Maybe? I don't remember when I read that part. I'd have to check.
Jack	mm
Drufle (GM)	I imagine he just cleans up the fossils and then uses SCIENCE to revive them.
Jack	would you be able to bullshit a process if I asked now? guess not
Drufle (GM)	Uhhhhhhhhh. Sure? Yeah, why not. Although honestly, let me try and pull up the log to see if I ever mentioned it beforehand.
Jack	ok
Axel	Cailan rolls Aptitude, but has 20 anyways so he literally cannot fail thus, the fossil is revived
Drufle (GM)	Alright, let's not do that again.
Axel	the chatlog is one hell of a beast
Dr. Cailan	"Say, Jack, if you're to be an archaeologist maybe you'd be interested in finding out how this works?"
Jack	"I definitely am!" "do you have any articles?" Dr. Cailan nods.
Axel	52% battery where is it all going? Dr. Cailan reaches into a desk and starts pulling out a pile of papers.
Cici	cailan doesnt roll for aptitude the machine does and its got 3000 aptitude because
Jack	"my parents are subscribed to all the relevant jour-ohhhhh"
Cici	it's a machine
Dr. Cailan	"You probably want this one, this one, this would be helpful, ah this one of course..." Jack is slowly overwhelmed by a pile of paper Dr. Cailan slams a pile of about 40 or so academic papers on the table in front of Jack.
Axel	data overflow now at -255
Dr. Cailan	"This should be a good introduction to archaeorevival technology!"
Axel	have fun, buddy
Jack	"huh... maybe I'll just look at the top ten for now. I mean, I should definitely be coming back here with more in the future!"
Dr. Cailan	"Of course! Take your time, eventually you might be able to build one of these yourself!"
Jack	"oh wow, that's a distant dream, doctor, haha!"
Axel	ask Axel to help Jack slides a few of the topmost papers away and sits in a chair to read Dr. Cailan starts pushing buttons on the machine and slides the fossils underneath it.
Jack	this is the part where I read for hours as the fossils are restored Cici ur up
Drufle (GM)	This first paper you've picked up is on laser biooptics, and how the wavelengths can be altered both A and F to be made optimal for restoration purposes. Things are starting off pretty nasty. What is Cici doing in the meantime, anyway?
Jack	oh wait yeah dishes
Drufle (GM)	Also Jack, it isn't going to take hours, the fossils will probably be done before the jewelry is.
Jack	she never said she was back figure of speech sir
Drufle (GM)	Right, of course.
Cici	shes totally zoned out
Drufle (GM)	Among the papers you picked are dissertations and theses on various other topics such as genetic reconstruction, rare earth machining, and evolutionary bias.
Cici	dead stuff isnt her thing she loves the fossil pokemon themselves of course but she mostly prefers things that are alive to begin with
Jack	"huh, I figured they'd have sorted out the autoremineralization phenomenon by now..." "uh, process"
Drufle (GM)	Nope! Still quite an issue in modern science.
Jack	"I guess it's a given for the state of the base material"
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, soon enough the fossils are done in the machine and two Pokeballs pop out of the side.
Jack	"if only we could travel back in time..."
Axel	maybe you can solve it?
Jack	if I did then that would mean New Mons
Drufle (GM)	You do have the option to make your own company and research lab at the labranch eventually.
Jack	oohohohohohohoooo Cici has nodded off in her chair
Cici	zzzzzz
Axel	It'd basicallyy just be a retypeing
Dr. Cailan	"Ah! They're done!"
Axel	gain whatever types they had in the past Dr. Cailan runs over and picks up the Pokeballs ti inspect them.
Jack	"didn't even hear the door ping :p"
Dr. Cailan	"Yes yes, quite a jokester aren't you." Dr. Cailan looks over the Pokeballs. Jack grins impishly
Dr. Cailan	"Everything seems to be in order! Here you are young man, One Lileep and one Cranidos."
Jack	"excellent, thanks again, doctor!"
Dr. Cailan	"Anytime, my friend." "And it was good to see you too, Cici."
Cici	i always assumed they WERE rock types before Dr. Cailan smiles.
Cici	"Oh! See you later, doc!" "Thanks for your help!"
Axel	nah, Cici, they became rock types through fossilization Cici is hastily pretending she wasnt asleep
Jack	naw Cici my headcanon is that they have to be made into living rock mons like geodude and kin because not enuff genes
Cici	i always assumed tat like the rock types were the only ones hardy enough to leave behind fossils with sufficient dna for cloning
Drufle (GM)	Both are pretty good headcanons.
Jack	that's a good headcanon too, yeah
Cici	if there WERE squishier pokemon in the past they didnt leave behind the hard fossils i do want non rock type fossil mons tho
Axel	its a good point, but every mon has bones or shells well, most of them
Drufle (GM)	That is quite true.
Cici	exhibit a: grimer
Jack	tell that to jellicent
Cici	lol
Drufle (GM)	Anyway!
Jack	also how do you fossilize GHOSTS
Drufle (GM)	We leave the lab and return to the city square.
Axel	one day we'll get a Fossil Ghost mon and it will be epic
Drufle (GM)	There seems to be quite a commotion rising.
Axel	oh god that man again Kimberly, was it?
Drufle (GM)	A majority of the crowd has gathered around a small podium set up in the middle of the square. Kimblee, and that's not his name!
Axel	right, Kimblee
Jack	oh it should be kimberly it'd be great
Axel	what's he doing this time?
Cici	"What's this all about?"
Drufle (GM)	I may be using his picture but that's totally not who he is. Cici frowns
Jack	"what's going on over there?"
Cici	brb
Jack	I'd hope it wasn't actually the guy he wouldn't bother with pokemon this map would just be a big crater
Strange Man	"Fellow citizens of Galens, I have more information on the legendary crisis!" Strange Man points to something that you can't quite see over the crowd.
Strange Man	"We gather more and more information about the rumored creatures every day!" Jack tries jumping to get a look
Axel	sit on top of a mon! you have a big one! Jack has a brainwave
Strange Man	"A cove of Diancie, a sighting of a Terrakion, the great beast Entei!" "More and more, these strange Pokemon are appearing all over the region!" Jack releases mantaro and stands on his hands
Axel	stronk
Drufle (GM)	You see now that the strange man has a variety of relics and objects on a table next to him. Some pictures of the legendaries he's talking about, as well as stones, scales, and bits of fur. He even has a pink stone similar to the one you have!
Jack	"wow, he's gathered so much evidence!"
Drufle (GM)	More importantly, though, you see something that immediately catches your eye.
Jack	"my eye!"
Drufle (GM)	Sitting off to the side, among some other stones. Is a rough, brown sphere covered in dots.
Axel	gasp! we need that take a picture quick
Jack	"oh... dear" Jack whips out his phone and snaps a picture of the sphere
Strange Man	"Citizens of Galens, it is no longer refutable! There are absolutely dangerous beasts in the region!" "They seem to be congregating around the mountains, as that is where the majority of our reports come from."
Jack	i'm waiting for him to say something skeevy but it just ain't coming
Strange Man	"So for everyone's safety, I, and the rest of the Mythseekers, advise everyone to stay away from the mountains if you can't help it."
Axel	NAMEDROP
Jack	"Hey! I've seen some down on the plains!" Strange Man turns and looks at Jack.
Strange Man	"See! This boy has seen them too!"
Jack	"I fell into a tunnel that a heatran made!"
Strange Man	"Just as I said, they are dangerous! Everyone, you must stay away from their area of gathering!" "Boy, come up here and tell us your story!"
Axel	oh dear Strange Man waves and motions for the crowd to part. Jack balks at the idea, but is pushed toward the front
Strange Man	"Come, come! Regale us with this tale of the Heatran!" "Ah, a bit shy, are you! Don't be afraid, tell us!"
Jack	(is tormalia 2 on the map)
Drufle (GM)	Oh, on the region map. Yep.
Jack	ok "well, I, um.. it was a few days ago now, but me and my friends were walking through the fields south of here and the ground gave way beneath us"
Drufle (GM)	See how it's a 2x2 circle? That's the only one.
Jack	right
Drufle (GM)	All 2x1's are cities, the single tiles are villages and towns.
Jack	"we don't know how far it went either way, but it seemed to be going east and west"
Strange Man	"Incredible! And you all came out of it alive?"
Jack	"one end was really hot and burned black!" "we got out of there pretty quickly when -- (did we actually meet the thing)
Drufle (GM)	You did in fact see it!
Axel	oh hell yeah we did
Drufle (GM)	Just for a short time before you ran the hell away.
Jack	-- the heatran came back along the tunnel!"
Strange Man	"Shocking, absolutely incredible!"
Jack	"I'm real glad it didn't follow us aboveground"
Strange Man	"Absolutely! Do you have any other stories of legendary Pokemon?"
Axel	we've seen quite a few oh god, is this going to lead to the Kyrum V Keys battle?
Jack	can I roll something to gauge this guy's trustworthiness unless Cici is here to help out or something
Drufle (GM)	Hey, an actual poise roll! We finally came to a point where poise is useful.
Axel	oh snap
Jack	okay Poise
Check: 12 hrm...
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6+10( 5 + 3 )+10 = 18
Axel	a 1 and a 6 welp
Drufle (GM)	You don't see anything out of the ordinary with this man.
Jack	ok I guess I'll tell him everything!
Drufle (GM)	He seems quite reasonable, and look! He's trying to help this people!
Jack	inb4 I doom us all... "well, um, I remember we had a run-in with a Regice up near Spinel village"
Strange Man	"A Regice, you say."
Axel	Cici halp make a poise check save Jack Strange Man looks at Jack with great interest.
Jack	before I make a dumb child mistake
Strange Man	"We've heard rumors of the Regis being in the area, but we have yet to actually find them ourselves!" "That is excellent news! Why, I might just make you an honorary Mythseeker!"
Jack	"erm, sir, can I talk to you privately for a bit?" "about that" Strange Man raises his eyebrows.
Strange Man	"Well of course!" Strange Man turns to the crowd.
Axel	Cici where are you!? damn it Cici
Jack	I am actually being abducted
Strange Man	"I'm sorry everyone, but something urgent has come up!" "Please come back tomorrow for the next update on sightings and rumors." Strange Man waves the crowd away, and they disperse, grumbling and complaining.
Cici	sorry guys my mom decided suddenly to leave the house 20 minutes early and she and my sister are leaving for a week Strange Man goes and sits in a nearby chair, examining some of the objects on the table.
Cici	so i had to go say goodbye and help them put shit in the car and suhc
Jack	' I was getting a slushlillipup from the vendor over there'
Drufle (GM)	Ah, alright.
Jack	alright Cici
Drufle (GM)	Wow, slushlillipup.
Cici	lmao
Jack	understandable
Strange Man	"So, what is it you wanted to talk about, Mr...?"
Jack	"Ayesland. Jack Ayesland" Strange Man smiles.
Axel	that name will never get old
Jack	...I've just doomed my family.
Strange Man	"A nice name. I'm Angel, a pleasure to meet you."
Jack	"thank you, sir"
Angel	"So, what is it you wanted to talk about, Jack?"
Jack	""I was a bit confused when you said your... Mythseekers, was it? had never seen one of the Golems before."
Drufle (GM)	It'd be great if Cici made a poise check perfectly and just like zooms across the plaza and grabs Jack and runs away. WE ARE GETTING OUT OF HERE Cici hasnt said anything because shes been filming the whole thing quietly from a distance
Angel	"Oh yes, they've been very elusive!"
Cici	can i hear what theyre saying
Angel	"We've sighted just about every other reported Legendary, but we have yet to find any of the Regis!"
Jack	"because I've... seen something like that stone you have over on the table"
Drufle (GM)	You're pretty far away, make an attention check. Cici: Attention
Check: 12
Axel	If he asks, Jack doens't have the orbs
Cici	i have both of them in my bag
Axel	wut, I thought Nickel had them
Jack	"in relation to Regice, so I have reason to believe that that stone has something to do with Regirock."
Drufle (GM)	Mmmmmmm, you can hear bits and piece of the conversation. But not everything.
Cici	we have already translated and copied down the messages how would nickel carry things
Jack	does nickel have a bag Angel narrows his eyes.
Axel	Nickel finds a way
Cici	also these balls are like super heavy theyre probably not much smaller than his entire body
Angel	"You've... found an orb like this? Very interesting! I had thought this was unique to Regirock."
Axel	I'm tempted to give Nickel a check to see if he can mirraculously pull a 100 and hear this
Jack	"I'm real concerned about the appearance of these creatures on human-used routes." My friend told me they even fought a Kyurem at one point!" *s
Angel	"Yes yes, we knew about the Kyurem encounter in Spinel. It was a horrible thing, and we're trying to get better at warning towns ahead of time."
Cici	i send jack a text
Jack	"ah, okay." "ah! excuse me sir"
Angel	"Although the fact that you fought them yourself is very, very impressive. They're quite dangerous!" Angel nods. Jack peeks at phone
Cici	"Figure out if they know the orb has braille on it. DONT TELL THEM IT'S BRAILLE IF THEY DONT KNOW." "I don't trust him." Angel sits patiently, with a bit of a curious look.
Cici	"Tell him this is your mom or something." "We're having dinner soon. You need to get home." "It's spagetti."
Jack	"sorry, just a text from mom. I'm running late." Angel smiles. Cici sighs in relief after remembering how terrible Jack is at lying
Angel	"Ah, of course. Well, that is understandable."
Axel	crisis adverted...for now
Jack	"I really need to go soon, but before I do, I was just wondering..." "I have an interest in archaeology, and the dots on this stone look really intriguing! do you know if they have some kind of meaning?"
Angel	"Ah, a fellow scientist!" Angel smiles wide. Cici tries to get closer, losing the visual angle so she can hear better, still recording audio
Cici	sneak sneak i mean not that sneaky. theres crowds. just gotta look like im not looking at them
Moppy	the problem with seeing this guy as kimblee is I'm actually really tensed up over here
Angel	"Yes, we do believe there's something to the recessions and bumps. There's certainly a pattern, indeed."
Moppy	more so than usual
Angel	"Do you... know anything about them? Were there similar markings on the Regice orb?"
Axel	he's that scary, eh?
Jack	you don't know him, man
Cici	can i use a physical training check to try and send a pokemon to steal the orb off the table
Jack	watch FMA
Drufle (GM)	Ooh, very tricky!
Cici	although i think for a lot of my pokemon thatd be difficult
Drufle (GM)	You roll physical training against my attention.
Cici	eevee is quite fast
Drufle (GM)	If you beat me, you steal the orb.
Axel	maybe not a good idea we have a picture of it
Cici	its spherical the dots are on all sides we can't translate it just from a single picture
Axel	take more? I dunno
Drufle (GM)	If you can get pictures from at least all four sides, you'll be able to get enough of it.
Jack	"we saw something on the stone before we escaped it, but don't know what that was, sorry."
Drufle (GM)	At least enough that you can logically piece the rest together. Angel nods solemnly.
Cici	i send out felicia and quietly instruct her to try and grab the orb and run back to the lab we were at earlier
Angel	"So you don't have the ice orb anymore, then?"
Cici	shes gonna try and sneak around and stay out of angel's line of sight but jack will be able to see her
Drufle (GM)	I'll give a slight penalty to Angel's check, seeing as he's quite intent on listening to Jack right now.
Cici	i also instruct her that if she gets spotted before taking it she should run the other direction from me so that he just thinks it's a wild pokemon
Jack	"um, we tried to take it with us but it got lost in the hurry to get away." Angel nods.
Angel	"Listen here, Jack."
Cici	shes 7 speed so i assume she can outrun him, worst case scenario Physical Training
Check: 13 Angel leans in closer to Jack.
Angel	rolling 2d6+5( 2 + 2 )+5 = 9
Cici	nice
Axel	ohohohoho
Cici	yoooink Jack: Attention
Check: 13
Drufle (GM)	That was supposed to be a 7. But you win regardless. Jack notices movement out of the corner of his eye, but makes an effort to not focus on in
Cici	i quietly take the stone from her, pat her on the head, and place it in my bag i keep recording Angel is whispering now. Cici frowns because she has no idea what the fuck hes saying now over the crowd Jack is trembling
Angel	"These... Regis, the Golems. They're very dangerous. They're planning something, and we have no way of tracking them since we haven't been able to see one yet." "Do not, under any circumstances, trust them. There's something going on in Galens, and I believe they're at the center of it."
Jack	"alright." Cici mumbles to herself "What is he doing? Get out of there..."
Cici	"Spagetti...." Angel smiles and sits up.
Angel	"Well, it was nice talking to you, Jack."
Axel	I'm at 24% less than an hour left
Angel	"Tell your friends about the Mythseekers, alright?" Cici recalls Felicia real quick and gets back to a safe distance
Jack	"I-it was a pleasure, sir. I will." Jack beats a hasty retreat Cici ends the recording Angel smiles and waves, then returns to the table. Jack sneaks into an alley while his back is turned
Cici	"What were you THINKING?"
Axel	oh dear Cici sighs deeply and exhales
Jack	"I'm sorry! I-i just..." Jack is tearing up
Cici	"Hey, it's alright..." "The professor didnt want us to talk about this stuff though!" "And I definitely don't trust this Angel character..." Nickel senses something wrong
Nickel	Can't put his magnet on it
Jack	"I'm sorry I'm sorry! I'm just... so worried about it all..."
Cici	"What was he talking to you about? I heard some of it, but not much."
Jack	"Mr. Angel was telling me about the group he's part of. They're called the "Mythseekers"" "they've been going around Galens telling everyone about the wild legendaries that are appearing" Cici scribbles notes down furiously to try and fill in the missing parts of the conversation
Jack	"but they don't know about the regis!"
Cici	"So they claim to just be spreading awareness, then...?"
Nickel	what a time for me not to be there
Cici	"They have an awful lot of artifacts for a public safety organization..."
Jack	"I saw a stone that i KNEW had to be regirock's and I needed to know how they got it without finding the golem!"
Cici	"You mean this one?"
Jack	"I'm just... not very good at being calm in that sort of situation..." Cici produces it from her bag with a little giggle
Jack	"ah, so _that_ was what that was" "I saw a flash of brown go past"
Cici	"Felicia is quite speedy."
Nickel	don't show it in public you fools!
Jack	we're in an alley
Cici	we're in an alleyway Cici stashes it back in her bag
Cici	"Ill translate it later."
Jack	"but if you have it we'll need to get out of here before Mr. Angel looks this way!"
Cici	"Relax. Take a deep breath." Jack is very distraught
Nickel	he'd probably already be suspicious of you guys
Cici	"We are much more likely to get away with this if we remain calm and blend in with the crowds." "It is quite busy, after all."
Nickel	I mean, we've already admitted to at least seeing the ice orb
Jack	"okay. Okay"/ Jack takes off his sweet hat
Cici	"Any number of people could have swiped things off his table when he wasn't looking." Cici snorts
Nickel	don't forget the keystones
Cici	"I mean, honestly. Leaving a table covered in legendary artifacts unattended! What a moron..."
Drufle (GM)	Yes, we should make sure to pick those up eventually.
Jack	"oh darn, we forgot about the key stones!" "we need to get back to that jewellers"
Cici	"Cmon, let's go pick them up." "I'm sure they're done by now."
Jack	"okay" Jack and Cici take the long route around Jeweler smiles as the pair walks back into the store.
Jeweler	"Ah, I was wondering what had happened to you two!"
Jack	"s-same here..."
Nickel	I will backseat comment all I can
Jeweler	"Did you see the Mythseekers table? What an incredible set of findings! Some great minerals too!"
Cici	"Sorry, we had a few other errands to run."
Jeweler	"Anyway, let me get the accessories for you."
Cici	"Ah, yes... They... distracted us for a little while."
Nickel	Jack is a nervous wreck right now
Jack	8(
Cici	"Very impressive collection." Jeweler reaches under the counter and pulls out some very nice looking stuff.
Jeweler	A necklace, a cufflink, and a brooch, all made in a bright silvered metal.
Cici	"Oh, how lovely!"
Nickel	oooh
Jeweler	"Just like you ordered!" "You've already paid, so go ahead! Try them on!" Jack takes the proffered item without a word
Drufle (GM)	In case you're wondering, they fit perfectly. This lady is CRAZY good at what she does.
Jack	never any doubt! Cici clasps the necklace behind her neck
Cici	"It's gorgeous! Thank you so much!" Jeweler grins.
Jack	"thanks"
Jeweler	"Oh, it looks wonderful. Hope it brings you some great power in the future!" Jeweler does a little fist pump. Jack gives a knowing look at his ball-dolier
Jack	y'know, like a bandolier
Drufle (GM)	Wow.
Jack	but for attack animals
Drufle (GM)	You are absolutely evil with these puns.
Cici	ddgsgfgsfdg df
Drufle (GM)	Just, just go.
Jack	I will never stop sure!
Drufle (GM)	We're done in Tormalia, I presume?
Jack	I have been summoned to dinner anyway :v back in two shakes!
Drufle (GM)	Oh, alrighty. Let's make a move on back to the ranchlab then, and join up with Axel.
Axel	yes, please hurry I am low on time
Cici	okie c:
Axel	okay welcome back
Drufle (GM)	So I assume Axel's been spending this hour or so messing around with Aidan and the renovations guys?
Axel	yes helping stuff as much as he can Nickel too probably moreso
Drufle (GM)	Alright, I had figured as much. Well, Rodan swoops down overhead with Cici and Jack aboard. Probably has a bit of a rough landing nearby. Nickel notices and taps on Axel's shoulder
Axel	"Oh! Welcome back"
Drufle (GM)	Uh oh, Cici seems to be having more cat troubles.
Axel	"How did it go?" oh dear cats
Drufle (GM)	I'm just assuming of course. Jack is eating all that spaghetti he was promised.
Axel	it seems to be the problem of the weak
Cici	"Hey!" "How's everything going?"
Axel	"Great, so far at least" "It's been a while since I've done this kind of work" "I think I'm a bit rusty"
Cici	"Glad it's going well!" "Here's your keystone, by the way!" Cici tosses him the cufflink Axel stumbles to catch it and it falls into his pocket
Axel	"..." "I meant to do that" "Thanks"
Drufle (GM)	Man, how are you still alive around all this construction equipment. Nickel retrieves the keystone from the pocket
Nickel	"Zzzt" Cici sighs
Cici	"Is Aidan around?"
Drufle (GM)	Congratulations, all of you are now capable of mega evolution! Kind of! And yeah, Aidan is within sight, talking to one of the construction workers. Axel fastens the cufflink
Drufle (GM)	He's got a big piece of paper in his hands.
Axel	"Uh, yeah, he's over there" Cici nods
Cici	"Come with me. You're both going to want to see this." "We had an encounter with a man talking about Legendary Pokemon. I believe he's the same individual you saw the other day."
Axel	"That man in the white suit?" Axel gets Nickel's notebook
Axel	"He had...quite the long list" Cici nods
Axel	"Did he confirm any of these?"
Cici	"His name is Angel. He claims to be part of a group called the Mythseekers." Cici gets Aidan's attention and gestures for him to join them."
Cici	-"
Nickel	-Seriously?- "Bzzzz...?" Aidan sees the group of you, and says something to the workers and hands them the paper, walking towards the group.
Nickel	I am at 10% 19 minutes, at most
Aidan	"Hello again, need anything?"
Cici	"You should both see this." Cici plays the recording after briefly summarizing to Aidan what she had already told Axel Aidan looks REALLY confused.
Nickel	I have to shut down soon
Aidan	"Jack got to talk to Angel? THE Angel?"
Cici	"You've heard of him?"
Axel	"He did what?" "this man is...famous?"
Aidan	"Of course I have! The man's an excellent Trainer, Hawthorne keeps meaning to talk to him about the Legendary issue."
Cici	"Oh dear..."
Aidan	"Him and his Mythseekers are THE leading authority in this part of the world on Legendary Pokemon."
Axel	"My gut seems to have flipped over"
Cici	"Well... I had a very bad gut feeling about the whole thing."
Aidan	"Oh? What about?"
Cici	"And there's something the recording didn't catch." "He said it too quietly to hear, but apparently he told Jack that the Golems are "evil" and they're working against him and his plans, in some manner." "Given that the messages we have received from them thus far have been ominous, but mostly seem helpful, this really concerns me."
Aidan	"Is that so? Well I'd certainly believe him, the man's done a lot to help Galens since people started coming here."
Axel	"I would not call the Regi's evil, however" Aidan scratches his head. Cici decides to not say anything about the fact that she just robbed the shit out of this man
Axel	wise
Aidan	"I'm sure he didn't mean it quite that literally. Maybe they're being particularly rowdy?" Cici shakes her head
Axel	"Evil is a strong word to used for an exageration"
Cici	"He said something more to the effect of... "plotting", I believe."
Aidan	"Well, Legendary Pokemon are sentient, perhaps they know something we don't!"
Cici	"He wanted to talk to Jack in the first place because he mentioned that he'd seen Regice in person... Apparently all three Regis have largely eluded the Mythseekers' vision entirely." Cici nods
Axel	I have to shut down
Cici	"I would very much like to figure out what they're up to..."
Axel	7% is not going to last long
Drufle (GM)	See ya Axel.
Cici	ok hora bye :<
Axel	have fun with the rest of the session
Drufle (GM)	See you later!
Cici	axel just drops dead
Jack	I return
Aidan	"What, the Mythseekers? They're not exactly secretive, they have a public headquarters and everything!"
Jack	all that spaghetti calmed my nerves "I'm sorry I just ened up telling him lotsa things and didn't know how to stop!"
Aidan	"Besides, I just can't believe that Angel is up to something dastardly. He was one of the people who first helped to settle Galens!"
Jack	really? "really?"
Aidan	"He founded Spinel and Tanzan himself, you know." "He always loved the mountains, so many kinds of rare Pokemon live up there."
Cici	i have to go ill be back when i can im sorry
Jack	it's ok
Cici	i dont know how long itll be its very sudden sorry
Jack	take care
Drufle (GM)	Alright. We'll keep the conversation going for a while longer. Aidan nods.
Jack	"I guess I never really looked into Galens' recent history..."
Aidan	Well he wasnt THE first person here, but he was one of the big proponents of moving people here!" "That was, oh, not too long ago, I suppose. "Something like 15 years ago?" "Gosh, it really has been a while hasn't it..."
Jack	"still older than me." Aidan smiles.
Aidan	"Yes, but you make up for your age with your skills, certainly."
Jack	:)
Aidan	"As does Cici, for that matter." Aidan shrugs.
Aidan	"Well, if you hear anything else strange about the Mythseekers, I'd love to hear about it."
Jack	"alright. If they're as public as you say, I'll go and research them myself" Aidan nods and pulls out his map.
Aidan	"See here, over on the west?" "That small town, just south of Marina?"
Jack	(is marina 1) Aidan points to the circle marked 5 on the map.
Jack	"I see it... barely"
Aidan	"That's Topash Town, a little place out in the grasslands. It's a very beautiful town, and that's where the Mythseekers HQ is." "They picked that location due to its coastal proximity, as well as... something else?" Aidan taps his head, annoyed.
Aidan	"There was something else, but I've forgotten. I'm sure you can ask them if you visit!"
Jack	"sure... I'll keep that in mind." Aidan smiles and puts his map away.
Aidan	"Well, if you don't have anything else, I'll get back to directing these workers. We have quite a lot of work to do, getting all your plans ahead!"
Jack	"that's okay. How are the wildernesses coming along?" Aidan points out to the far edge of the field.
Drufle (GM)	Off in the distance, you see a group of men and a bulldozer. A few trees have been planted, and a truck full of more is sitting nearby.
Jack	"ah, still moving earth."
Aidan	"Yep! We've got the artificial forest being set up over there, where we hope to attract Pokemon. Now, if you look over there..." Aidan points more to the right, further from the mountain.
Aidan	"Over there is where we're planting the apricorn and berry orchards." "They're turning out to be quite big, the soil in this area is wonderful!" "Oh oh, and look over there!" Aidan excitedly turns and points behind the group of you.
Aidan	"Over there, see that pile of dirt? That's all the earth we've moved so far for the villa and condominiums." "The Pokemart will probably be in that area as well."
Jack	"that'sa lotta dirt".
Aidan	"Oh yes, it certainly is. You kids ordered up quite a lot of work!"
Jack	"well, y'know gotta go for what's best!"
Aidan	"But the group is bringing in a few Tyranitar tomorrow, so I think all of the earth moving will be done by tomorrow night." "After that I think they're bringing in some Machamp and Conkeldurr to help build the foundation."
Jack	"that's good." Jack is slowly losing attention
Aidan	"Well, it'll all be great soon enough!"
Jack	Druf how far are we from the coast?
Drufle (GM)	If I remember correctly, not that far actually. Do you still have the map open?
Jack	I do now
Drufle (GM)	Directly east of Marina (which is indeed 1 on the map), there's that little intersection just north of B. That's sort of where you are. The actual field you're setting up is the tile to the right of that intersection. So yes, the closest coast is actually only like 4 or 5 tiles away.
Jack	that's still a 5-hour walk or 1-hour flight
Drufle (GM)	Indeed! Anything you want from the coast? Water Pokemon?
Jack	I was planning to release all my fossil pokemon and write my observations on them y'know actually fulfill my persona :V
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez, have you not even done that for Cambria yet?
Jack	no! never had the time
Drufle (GM)	Well then.
Jack	actually, I'm not sure about cambria it'd require looking in the archive
Drufle (GM)	The book says you can spend 2 hours a day making notes about a particular Pokemon's behavior.
Jack	yeah
Drufle (GM)	And that two hours gets you "1 exp", but we changed that to 2.
Jack	I was going to use this downtime to do that for the ones I have and I felt it'd be better to do it at the beach
Drufle (GM)	Alright!
Jack	I suppose I could release the cranidos here and watch that
Drufle (GM)	Since the others aren't really here now, you have effectively free reign. And you have, what, 4 fossil Pokemon? That's almost a full level of notes there.
Jack	yep! have you been keeping track of the time of day?
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear. Let me look quickly.
Jack	:P
Drufle (GM)	Ok, last session actually ended day 7.
Jack	righto so we were in tormalia in de morning
Drufle (GM)	So we woke up this morning at the ranchlab, and then you and Cici headed off to Tormalia. That's about a two hour flight, so including maybe an hour of stuff in the city, it's been 5 hours since you woke up. Assuming you guys wake up at 8 am, it's only 1 pm right now.
Jack	righto yeah I'll flap on over to the coast the closest coast, or the coastest close
Drufle (GM)	Righto, I'll have to see if I can find a good map for that. What's one of the Hoenn water routes?
Jack	you're asking me to remember route numbers?? um 127?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, nevermind. I just looked it up. That is one of them yes.
Jack	wow
Drufle (GM)	That's where Mossdeep is.
Jack	right
Drufle (GM)	Man, this in-client music searcher is the worst.
Jack	can you not just upload your own stuff?
Drufle (GM)	I'd have to upload it to Soundcloud first, but yes. Let's play "How do I make new maps" I haven't done this in the longest time.
Jack	bloody hell so if I did do a diggle rp here I'd have to 1> make a soundcloud account 2. THEN rip everything off youtube
Drufle (GM)	There's probably some easier way to do it but I bet it's a premium user thing.
Jack	yer a trooper
Drufle (GM)	How about you just start roleplaying the part while I actually get this map made. So I'm not wasting too much time here.
Jack	ok Jack makes his way down to the strandline
Jack	"alright guys, time for some relaxation!" Jack releases Cambria, Rodan, Ordovici the Lileep and Maastrich the Cranidos
Jack	ooh, sand glad I didn't mention rocks!
Drufle (GM)	Well, yes. This island is more sandy beaches than rocky.
Jack	cool
Drufle (GM)	Also, oh god, I have to make pogs for the new guys.
Jack	yyepppp
Drufle (GM)	Enjoy your roleplaying for a few more minutes. Jack sits down on a dune as Rodan wheels overhead, enjoying being able to fly without a passenger for once
Drufle (GM)	Man, yeah, he hasn't gotten to fly once without a rider has he.
Jack	eventually, Rodan flies out to sea. Jack worries for a second about where he's going, before Rodan dips down and lunges at something below the surface the stony pterodactyloid has a large oceanic magikarp in their talons "ah, piscivory. Interesting development." scribbles in notebook
Drufle (GM)	Done!
Jack	Jack looks down to see Maastrich close by. There isn't much for him to do on this barren slip of sand.
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, all the cliffs are on the eastern side of Galens.
phoone	cute lil babies... out for the first time....... in the Worlde...
Jack	hallo phoone
Drufle (GM)	Oh man, she's back.
Jack	how are you?
Cici	yeah uhh turns out i was typing and id like lost connection to the server or something the last message i saw was the one about rodan eating a fuckin magikarp like a beast
Drufle (GM)	Mopp is getting almost an entire level for free.
Cici	and then the music cut off and eveyrone stopped responding so i had to reload damn son i could do that too but i havent been writing!! ack
Drufle (GM)	You fool. Yeah, he's getting 8 exp from this little session.
Jack	I forgot you were doing that for actual gain :P
Cici	geez louise!!! i can write about any pokemon but its only 1 exp each :u
Drufle (GM)	Assuming, of course, he actually writes this down somewhere.
Jack	ohh so you need evidence, huh? I'll put it down in their bios later anyway, back to stuff "hey buddy. How's it feel bein' out in the big wide world?"
Drufle (GM)	Sorry my landlord came over to do a bit of inspecting. We're very good at getting suddenly called away.
Cici	:x hehe
Drufle (GM)	Man, I cannot find a good water-route mix on soundcloud. I might have to just do it myself someday.
Jack	Maas doesn't understand the words, and runs back a few feet. It seems like he wants to play. "You wanna do somethin? maybe some headbuttin' practice?" "maybe someone else on the team can help there." Jack releases Mantaro
Jack	am I back
Drufle (GM)	Yes. You disappeared for a second.
Jack	what was the last you saw
Drufle (GM)	Jack releases Mantaro
Jack	ok good nothing was lost
Drufle (GM)	I think Jack may be winning in Pokemon count, by the way.
Jack	"hey Manny, we've got some more new friends here. Could you help with this one? he's a Cranidos, and they need playmates at this point in their lives!" "it'll help you train up too!". Mantaro yelps affirmatively, and he and Maas dash off Jack turns to the surf
Drufle (GM)	Tada, finally some beach music.
Jack	Cambria, realising there's no-one around to convert, relaxes and shuffles further into the water. Ordo, being new at the whole living business, decided to follow her.
Drufle (GM)	Pffft. I love Acolyte Cambria.
Jack	I'm glad that it's not too tiresome a joke :)
Drufle (GM)	But yes, for every actual entry you write into your fossil pokemon's bio, you get 2 exp.
Jack	ok I'll do dat afterward
Drufle (GM)	We can return to the ranchlab whenever you wish.
Jack	when we're ready to move on ok
Drufle (GM)	I don't think Cici is in too much of a rush.
Jack	"Hey guys, don't go too far out! I can't record stuff underwater!" Jack resolves to get scuba gear
Jack	"Is there anything else I can do here, hmm.." Jack releases Brunt! Brunt is not very pleased about being sent out on a sunny goddamn beach
Jack	"I know buddy, I'll make it up to you later. But for now, could you swim out and keep an eye on Cambria? she's with a new teammate, a Lileep." Brunt grunts, and waddles into the surf
Drufle (GM)	Why is our party so full of grumpy and snarky Pokemon. Is that just the default state for Pokemon?
Brunt	Being 95% ice Brunt can't help but float on water. But with his eyes below the surface, he can scan the depths with ease. no it's just brunt he's like eyore who else has sass? nickel I guess
Drufle (GM)	Clara.
Brunt	but we see him the most out of the lot of us sooo ah guess there's one for each of us!
Cici	all our starters are pissy lil shits i love em
Drufle (GM)	Isn't it great? Man, what a nice little setting we have here. Also, this Slateport remix is REALLY long, like wow.
Jack	Jack and his pokemon relax on the beach for a good while, free from worries about the Mythseekers, and about legendaries invading his home. there I'm done
Drufle (GM)	Alright! Let's return to the ranch again.
Jack	eventually, he calls everyone back and heads off to the place he has started to call home.
Drufle (GM)	Get those entries marked down, and you're in for a lot of experience.
Jack	kk
Drufle (GM)	It isn't actually morning but I like this track. So Jack flies back to the ranch, full of new information.
Jack	it is quite nice
Drufle (GM)	What has Cici been doing all this time? It's probably, uh, almost dinner time? Maybe like 3 or 4 pm?
Cici	dissociating
Drufle (GM)	Jack's been gone for like 2 hours. Pfffft.
Jack	:(
Cici	llol
Jack	are you okay
Cici	ye i suppose we could easily assume i've been assisting axel and aidan with construction
Drufle (GM)	Well we can end here, unless you guys want a quick encounter or one more little roleplay bit.
Cici	shrug
Drufle (GM)	We've gone 3.25 hours, that's pretty good.
Cici	i could do a fight if you wanna have one but im kinda
Jack	I would like time to write down stuff
Cici	Gone lmao
Drufle (GM)	Alright, how about we end here then.
Jack	let's rest this time
Drufle (GM)	Well, that was nice.
Jack	:)
Drufle (GM)	Lots o' Plot and some new stuff gained. As well as an ever-increasing number of Pokemon, my goodness. Yep, Jack now officially has more Pokemon than Cici. 12 versus 11.
Cici	dang
Drufle (GM)	I like that Cici's pile of Pokemon is more than 25% Trubbish.
Jack	POKEMON! GOTTA CATCH UUUPPP
Drufle (GM)	Axel has a measly 8.
Cici	now with 50% more trubbish
Drufle (GM)	Alright, that'll be all for today!
Jack	thank you~
Drufle (GM)	Next time, we decipher that rock I assume.
Jack	yeh
Drufle (GM)	Have some more adventures, maybe go fight a gym? Search Topash Town?
Jack	anything!
Drufle (GM)	We have a bunch of options here.
Jack	let's get mugged by Myth Grunts
Drufle (GM)	They're nice people!
Jack	All I am saying is
Drufle (GM)	Oh I might as well mention this, actually. That dude with the Staraptor was a Mythseeker.
Jack	righto it wasn't Angel, was it?
Drufle (GM)	No.
Jack	...was it... Devil
Drufle (GM)	Just one of the many guys they have around looking out for Legendaries. No :P
Jack	worth a shot anyway, all I want to say is if we do see angel fighting, or seeing him fight please give him a full Explosion team
Drufle (GM)	Pffffft. Unfortunately I don't think I can guarantee that.
Jack	aw :P
Drufle (GM)	Mostly because that move doesnt exist.
Jack	what!!
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, explosion and self-destruct aren't in PPP.
Jack	....................................................
Drufle (GM)	And that's all for today!
Jack	im dead
Drufle (GM)	Out we go.
