Drufle (GM)	Poor, poor Will. He's been walking for a very long time. Xirb's looking a bit different now!
Will	"Feels like we've been walking for months! Haha..."
Zoop	"Upa..."
Will	"Sorry."
Drufle (GM)	I like those kinds of jokes. Poking the fourth wall is great. Anyway!
Bic	"modem noises"
Drufle (GM)	This is, what, the third Will session?
Will	I think so
Drufle (GM)	If we count his little gym battle as the first. We're currently on our way to Rhodos City! Will had been told that someone there should be able to help him understand Bic, as well as finally be able to evolve him!
Will	Gotta find out whats up with this weird square dog
Drufle (GM)	Is dog the best descriptor?
Will	actually i guess its more like a duck
Drufle (GM)	I mean, I guess that's better.
Will	i always thought it was meant to be a roboduck its got hte bill
Drufle (GM)	I could certainly believe that.
Gruu	"ribbit"
Drufle (GM)	So at the end of last session W, Will had a bit of a run-in with an angry fire dog.
Gruu	Gruu is running ahead, punching flowers as she goes.
Drufle (GM)	Wow, rude. Is Xirb male or female?
Will	"It's nice to have everyone out of their pok�balls like this."
Drufle (GM)	What kinda demographics do we got here.
Will	"Makes me feel safer."
Drufle (GM)	Man, I wish I remember why everyone was just hanging out here. I don't really.
Xirb	"Twoot."
Will	I'm not sure what gender Xirb is birds are hard
Drufle (GM)	Bird are hard, indeed. Anyway, I think it's about high time we get a move on. Just out of curiosity, do you want a Pokemon encounter before we make it to Rhodos?
Will	sure why not
Drufle (GM)	Alright! Do you want Grassland, Freshwater, or Frozen biome Pokemon?
Will	lets go with grassland low resolution jpeg grassland
Drufle (GM)	These are all high quality Google Images pictures. Oh, by the way. Remember that Cici has an Eevee for you at some point.
Will	really nice
Drufle (GM)	Yeah! The other three currently are in the possession of a Glaceon, Leafeon, and Jolteon. rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5
Will	oh leafeons taken huh i guess ill have a tropius at some stage anyway
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that's Cicis. rolling 1d6 ( 4 ) = 4 Oh. Well that's an interesting result.
Will	4s are pretty weird
Drufle (GM)	You have flying training, right? Or at least the normal/flying boon.
Will	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Good, you're getting a weird as hell Flying type.
Will	xirb knows peck it says
Drufle (GM)	You don't know much about gen 6, right?
Will	like next to nothing lol
Drufle (GM)	You may not appreciate how ridiculous it is for this guy to be here.
Will	is it xerneas er
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, no.
Will	yvetal the bird one
Drufle (GM)	Although fairy types are here too. That would be pretty hilarious.
Surprise	I lied and it's actually Hoopa.
Will	i dont understand you were right
Drufle (GM)	GASP LOOK
Will	daww its woobat wait no
Drufle (GM)	A little bat is flitting in the air in front of you!
Will	whats it called
Drufle (GM)	It's a Noibat! It's a damn Flying/Dragon type!
Will	nice "Aw, look everyone, a friendly pokemon."
Gruu	"GRUU"
Will	"No!! Don-okay you've provoked it thats great."
Drufle (GM)	The bat flits closer and is annoyed by Gruu's aggressiveness! I also have 6 speed so I probably go first.
Will	"Uh. Go Gruu?? You've sort of taken the initiative here pal."
Gruu	"croak"
Drufle (GM)	Did you up your speed at all? I forget.
Will	It's 5
Drufle (GM)	I have 6 so yes I'm first.
Will	"Yikes, that little thing is fast." Drufle (GM): Noibat used Aerial Ace! Target Gruu Roll 6 5 3 + 4 AC 14 Damage 2 WHACK Noibat flies in close, and rushes by Gruu in a burst of wind!
Will	"Gruu!"
Gruu	"ribBOW"
Drufle (GM)	For purposes of damage calculations, Aerial Ace is -1 damage, but it's +1 due to Flying v. Fighting. You're up now Will!
Will	"Alright, Gruu, use your coolest punch!"
Drufle (GM)	Oh shit does he have Ice punch? I did not think this one through.
Gruu	right so ice is +1 right
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, 4x weakness is +1 damage and an advantage.
Gruu	and att focus is +1 too
Drufle (GM)	So if you hit, that's 4 damage. Gruu: Gruu used Ice Punch! Target Noibat Roll 1 3 3 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4
Drufle (GM)	Please don't hurt me. Thankyou. That +1 damage isn't wasted, by the way. It only gets used up once you actually hit.
Gruu	Gruu swats at the air with the icey punch, and whiffs completely.
Drufle (GM)	Well, more like barely. You only missed by 1! Noibat used Hurricane! Target Gruu Roll 1 3 3 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4
Will	"Concentrate, Gruu!"
Drufle (GM)	Wow. Some sort of arcane magic just happened here.
Will	"Nice, now, do it!"
Drufle (GM)	We both rolled a 1/3/3. Gruu: Gruu used Ice Punch! Target Noibat Roll 5 5 2 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4
Drufle (GM)	OUCH I mean he isn't actually out yet, but OUCH.
Gruu	Gruu's Coolest Punch connects, and icey shards fly everywhere.
Drufle (GM)	5 HP stat! But holy hell that hurt.
Gruu	If this were an anime, things would have went all slow motion for a bit.
Drufle (GM)	The Noibat refuses to allow that to happen again!
Gruu	"Gruu!"
Will	"It's not over yet!" "You got this!" Drufle (GM): Noibat used Hurricane! Target Gruu Roll 3 5 4 + 6 AC 13 Damage 5 WHOOOOOOOSH
Bic	"bweeooop!!"
Drufle (GM)	It should've been 5 last time actually, I just forgot the SPATK focus damage.
Will	howd you work that damage out btw im curious
Drufle (GM)	Noibat, in anger, whips up a massive gale and blows Gruu away! 2 base, +1 for type weakness, Hurricane does +1 damage, +1 for SPA focus. It's actually a -1 to hit but I hit anyway. 14 v 13.
Will	"Gruu!"
Drufle (GM)	Good to ask, though!
Will	"Quick, Xirb, catch her!"
Drufle (GM)	Noibat seems pretty worn after getting a glacial fist to the face, though.
Xirb	"Tweet."
Drufle (GM)	Pfffft.
Xirb	Xirb zips into the air.
Drufle (GM)	Tweet.
Will	"Bic!! You've got this!"
Drufle (GM)	Noibat would be very impressed by this if he wasn't so exhausted from the rimed fisticuffs.
Bic	"twweeet?"
Will	"Uh, sure."
Drufle (GM)	You're up!
Zoop	"Upa!" Zoop encourages Bic.
Bic	"ding"
Will	Who's first here
Drufle (GM)	You!
Will	oh okay
Drufle (GM)	If you get knocked out, you continue in the same spot in the turn order. This is not the case if you switch out voluntarily.
Will	"Bic, fists of fury!!"
Drufle (GM)	I believe in you roboduck! Bic: Bic used Fury Attack! Target Noibat Roll 1 6 4 + 6 AC 13 Damage 1
Drufle (GM)	A swift strike from the left! Bic: Bic used Fury Attack! Target Noibat Roll 3 4 3 + 6 AC 13 Damage 1
Drufle (GM)	And another from the right! The Noibat wobbles and collapses from the rapid strikes.
Xirb	"Tweet."
Drufle (GM)	Now, for some odd reason, Noibat are hilariously easy to catch. You only need a 25 to catch one!
Zoop	"Upaa!"
Drufle (GM)	So if you have an Aptitude of at least 5, this is an auto-catch with even a Pokeball.
Will	"Well, we ruined this lil guy's day, might as well take him with us." "Or her? Birds are hard."
Drufle (GM)	Actually, it's an auto-catch even with a 4 APT. It's a bat! But yeah, you can just have the Noibat!
Will	how do i capture again
Drufle (GM)	I called it a he but I have a tendency to just arbitrarily gender Pokemon.
Will	i might as well roll it
Drufle (GM)	You don't even need to, but uh. Click on the Noibat. Click on Capture. Wait, no.
Will	what was the capture value
Drufle (GM)	You click on yourself first. The DC is a 25. Will throws the Pok� Ball at Noibat! Will: Pok� Ball go! Capture Roll 37 Capture DC 25
Drufle (GM)	Wow, yep. That sure was overkill. Congratulations! You have a new buddy!
Will	Bonk. i will call him Zephy zephiroth is his full name but thats embarassing
Xirb	Xirb descends carrying a disoriented frog.
Gruu	"Gruu...."
Will	"It's okay, bud, you can rest."
Drufle (GM)	You should be able to move Zephy now.
Will	"That was a really cool punch. Honest."
Drufle (GM)	Man, that was a good punch.
Gruu	"Gruu..." Gruu falls asleep, a smile on her face.
Drufle (GM)	Zephy's available high stats are Spatk and Speed, by the way.
Will	Will puts her into her pok�ball. I should probably have a speedy. but ill think about it later
Drufle (GM)	Mhm. Well, we shall continue our way onto Rhodos then. What a beautiful place!
Will	Ooh, a beach.
Drufle (GM)	Welcome to Rhodos City!
Will	put zoop out would ya
Drufle (GM)	The northernmost settlement on Galens. There are, unfortunately, no gyms here, but there is the regional radio station, as well as someone who can hopefully answer some questions about Bic!
Will	"That was a long walk..."
Drufle (GM)	I like how waltzy this music is. It's pretty great.
Will	"Walking on this sand feels nice, though."
Zoop	Zoops bouncing along, making footprints in the sand.
Drufle (GM)	The place isn't too bustly, but there are a few people here and there on the beach. You see a few Wingull flying out over the ocean, and a bunch of fish Pokemon in the water.
Bic	Bic follows Zoop's lead, and floats closer to the ground, drawing a line in the sand as it goes.
Drufle (GM)	I like to imagine that all of Will's Pokemon are with him all the time.
Will	"Man, Pelliper's are too big. Kinda weirds me out."
Drufle (GM)	His own personal party.
Will	"Birds shouldn't be that big."
Xirb	"Tweet."
Will	"Yeah, we should find the pokemon center."
Drufle (GM)	The Center is actually quite nearby. You can see the vibrant red rooftop from where you're standing.
Will	"That's either a pokemon center or some unfortunate design choices."
Drufle (GM)	As is tradition, I'm not actually going to switch screens for buildings in the city.
Will	Off we go do you have pokecenter music at least
Drufle (GM)	The center here has a fairly thick wall to keep out the winds from the sea, and a fair number of people are sitting around the table by the entrance. Man, I really hope I do. I have Pokemart music, but not Pokecenter.
Will	that was the pokemart
Drufle (GM)	I'll go grab one quickly.
Will	https://soundcloud.com/pokemon-wi-fi-club/pokemon-pokemon-center this ones funky
Drufle (GM)	How's this one? It's a bit quieter, I like it for that.
Will	hmmm that backing string is really repetitive lol https://soundcloud.com/pokemon-red-blue-medley/pokemon-center use this one
Drufle (GM)	Alright, one sec.
Will	its quiet streak and drufle browse soundcloud for 30 minutes
Drufle (GM)	Wow, this is very nice. Anyway!
Will	watch it break into like. speed metal cuz i didn't listen to it all
Drufle (GM)	Nurse Joy sits at the counter in front of you, reading some magazines. :P I never do, sometimes it ends up being really silly.
Will	Will approaches quietly. "Uhm..." "Excuse me..." Nurse Joy looks up from her magazine.
Nurse Joy	"Oh, hello! What can I do for you?"
Will	"Uhm, my friend's hurt." Will holds out Gruu's pokeball."
Nurse Joy	"Ah, alright. Just a second!" Nurse Joy takes the Pokeball from Will.
Will	Oh, I give her Zephy too. I think he's still hurt right Nurse Joy also takes Zephy's Pokeball.
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he was knocked out, remember? That's how you catch things in this game for some reason. None of that ridiculous "weaken and then catch" stuff. Pokemon around here are too tough for that.
Will	i suppose it stops you ending battles in one round with a lucky catch
Drufle (GM)	Basically, I imagine.
Will	Will takes the other 'mons and grabs a table. "Whew, I'm exhausted."
Drufle (GM)	There are only a few other people in the Center, and they all seem pretty tired.
Zoop	Zoop is jumping around everywhere, not even slightly exhausted.
Drufle (GM)	I'm pretty sure Zoop actually has infinite energy.
Xirb	Xirb perches on top of Will's head, which is currently resting on the table.
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, Will is understandably exhausted. He's also, like, a week behind the others.
Bic	Bic is wandering around, looking at computers.
Drufle (GM)	I'm pretty sure it's still only day 3 or so for him.
Bic	"bweoop"
Drufle (GM)	Bic touches one of the nearby computers. It suddenly springs to life and starts flashing messages.
Bic	"happy modem noises"
Drufle (GM)	I'm having a very hard time imagining a happy modem noise. We should look up something like that afterwards.
Will	"Bwuh..." Will lazily rotates his head to observe. "Stop...hacking the computers, Bic."
Drufle (GM)	The screen is just flashing random words without much of a pattern to them. The other patrons are looking confusedly at Bic. Nurse Joy included.
Bic	Bic seems to enjoy the attention, and spins around in place.
Nurse Joy	"Is your Porygon alright? He seems to be... quite the worker."
Will	Will finally lifts his head. "Uhm. Bic, over here."
Bic	Bic floats over to Will.
Will	"Sorry...Uhm. Just...turn it off and on again." "That usually works for my mom's computer."
Nurse Joy	"You know, if you'd like to rest, there's plenty of rooms in the back. Go and sleep a while, your Pokemon will be fine."
Will	"Oh, thanks." "Uhm..." Will looks at his pokemon. "Xirb, you're in charge."
Zoop	"Upaa!!"
Will	"You gotta give others a turn, Zoop."
Zoop	"Upa..."
Will	Right Will's off to bed. I'm guessing its pretty late anyway
Nurse Joy	Yeah, it's probably eveningish about now.
Drufle (GM)	Nurse Joy is very knowledgeable.
Will	We sleep till morn then
Drufle (GM)	Yep! Unless your Pokemon are going to get up to no good, nothing happens during the night.
Will	im guessing gruu and zephy are up and about too now
Drufle (GM)	Indeed.
Zephy	"squeak?"
Drufle (GM)	You can head out whenever you wish.
Gruu	"croak..."
Will	All is forgiven, clearly.
Drufle (GM)	It's nice to see Pokemon just make weird noises at each other. Nurse Joy nods at you in the morning, and points to a breakfast table in the corner. Gotta eat!
Will	Gruu spends the night showing Zephy her cool punches. There's quite a few.
Drufle (GM)	I feel like Zephy may not entirely appreciate that. Poor thing has been on the receiving end of those amazing punches.
Will	Zephy doesn't quite know how to react but tries to act interested anyway
Drufle (GM)	I feel like a Noibat's hands are way too small for punching. Anyway!
Will	Xirb has been perched on the highest avaliable ledge all night, overlooking everyone as the Best Babysitter of All Time
Drufle (GM)	I feel like Xirb is a really good watchman.
Xirb	"Tweet."
Drufle (GM)	Watchbird. A much better game than Watchdogs.
Will	we have panckaes probably pokepancakes
Drufle (GM)	Pancakes, eggs, bacon, the normal stuff. Who knows what actually gets eaten around here.
Will	the syrup is drawing a little pokemon design on th cakes
Drufle (GM)	Awwwww.
Will	pokeball* "It's thematic!"
Drufle (GM)	Nurse Joy is a very nice chef. I like how you've so nicely rectangled your party there. Even though that was mostly my fault.
Zoop	Zoop has devoured an entire pancake. Greedy boy,
Drufle (GM)	Zoop is now 10% pancake.
Will	"Where does it all go???"
Zoop	"Upa..."
Drufle (GM)	That's a really good question. Wooper are mostly head anyway.
Will	"You're right, biology is for nerds."
Zoop	Zoop nods.
Gruu	Gruu's punched a pancake, but is told off by Xirb. She decides to eat it instead.
Drufle (GM)	Why would you punch a pancake! What a single-minded frog.
Gruu	Well, half, the other half is for Zephy. She is trying hard to be friends.
Bic	"beep" Bic has scanned the pancakes into his internal database, probably. I don't imagine porygons eat.
Drufle (GM)	Probably not? I can't imagine how that would work.
Will	Anyway, I should ask Nurse Joy where I can find this lab. Shes's knowledgable.
Drufle (GM)	She is indeed.
Will	should i actually say it cuz i forget if the lab had a name or what
Drufle (GM)	You can initiate, I'm pretty sure I didn't give it a name.
Will	was there even a specific lab
Drufle (GM)	I'm actually checking quick to see if I even named the scientist guy.
Will	"So, Miss Nurse Joy, my Porygon here's a bit of a weird duck..." "Do you know if there's any like. Science people around here?" Nurse Joy smiles and tilts her head.
Nurse Joy	"Science people? Well, we do have some digital scientists around, if you need some help with that Porygon." "There's a lab about two blocks east of here, that might be a good place to look."
Will	the science people!! "Thanks! You're so knowledgable." Nurse Joy laughs.
Nurse Joy	"I appreciate the compliment!"
Will	"Okay, everyone say goodbye." The pokemon make various animal noises. Off we goooo. oh good that piano was making me sleepy
Drufle (GM)	Various animal noises
Will	not sure the waltz will do much good
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I was starting to feel it too.
Will	but eh get the speed metal on what is this
Drufle (GM)	This is the lab music!
Will	ooh
Drufle (GM)	If you're asking what it is I don't actually remember.
Will	its cool
Drufle (GM)	Oh! It's Oak's Lab from Pokemon Snap. Anyway, Will walks down a few blocks of the windy city, and eventually he spots a chrome and glass window with a bunch of antennae sticking out of it. Luckily, architecture in Galens is very sight-oriented.
Will	"Wow that's a very odd looking thing." prime roleplay right there guys riveting Will inspects it closer. What the heck is it?? What's Bic's opinion i wonder
Drufle (GM)	:P It's a local electrical engineering and digital sciences lab. Says so right there, on the big sign that is definitely there. Big probably loves it!
Will	"Sounds sciencey."
Drufle (GM)	Lots of signals emanating from there.
Zoop	"Upa." Zoop is distracted by all the chrome. It's so shiny.
Drufle (GM)	It is ridiculously shiny.
Will	so is it like an automatic door
Drufle (GM)	You can just go in!
Will	that would be sciencey
Drufle (GM)	That's how most buildings work. Oh yeah of course the door is automatic.
Will	Will goes to knock the door, but it opens and he misses.
Drufle (GM)	It's probably one of those weird doors that open up or something. Instead of sideways.
Will	"Urp." up????
Drufle (GM)	Don't think too hard about it. I assure you, it looks greaet. Great as well.
Will	"That was embarassing but this is a very weird do." door*
Drufle (GM)	Messing up his 'do.
Bic	Bic zooms in.
Will	"Hey no this place is expensive. "Cmere." Will grabs Bic.
Dr. Daily	"Yes? Hello? Please come in, it is very windy outside so please keep the door closed."
Will	Will tries to close the door but its too high up, then remembers its automatic so he just has to walk away from it. So he does.
Dr. Daily	"Yes, thank you, come in."
Will	"Uhm. Hi!" Dr. Daily walks into the lobby from a neighboring room.
Drufle (GM)	The doctor is short and squat, with an exceptional beard and hair cut short. He has, like, 4 pairs of glasses on. How does he see through those?????
Will	He sounds interesting. "Are you a science person?"
Drufle (GM)	If I was an artist I would have a pog of him. Dr. Daily scoffs at the question.
Dr. Daily	"A science person? Well, that is one way to put it, I suppose." Dr. Daily lifts up three of the four pairs of glasses.
Will	i bet he can see shit we cant like the future
Dr. Daily	"My name is Dr. Benjamin Daily, and you are?"
Will	"I'm Will." "I'm here cuz of this guy here." Dr. Daily nods gruffly.
Will	He holds out the duck.
Bic	"boop!" Dr. Daily walks over to Will and pulls a wand-looking thing out of somewhere. Dr. Daily clicks a button on the wand and it extends and a bunch of little sticks come out of the sides. Dr. Daily begins waving the device around Bic, poking him occasionally with the side-sticks.
Bic	"Dr. Zerro said he doesn't have a manufacturer's insignia...." oops we'll fix it in post
Dr. Daily	"Eh? Dr. Zerro you say? Hm..." Dr. Daily retracts the crazy spiky wand and puts it away.
Will	"Oh! Um..." Will fiddles around in his bag. "He also gave me this Upgrade. Dr. Daily takes the Upgrade and lputs one of the glasses back down.
Zoop	Zoop is fascinated with the weird wand thing.
Dr. Daily	"Standard, but it'll work fine. And he was right, but I didn't expect much else. You caught this Porygon here on Galens, right?"
Will	"He was wandering around in a city, yeah."
Dr. Daily	"I suspected as much. I haven't seen a single Galensi Porygon with a legitimate insignia! The strangest thing, I tell you." Dr. Daily starts waddling over to the room he came from and motions for you to follow.
Will	"There aren't any manufactuer's here yet, right?"
Dr. Daily	"No, not a one. Now, the first time someone brought me one of these weird Porygon, I didn't think much of it. Every now and then the insignia gets erased from memory." "But then more and more of them came in, and I knew something was wrong. It's statistically impossible for so many Porygon to just lose their insignia like that!" Dr. Daily walks into the room, still talking.
Dr. Daily	"Now see, I've got me a theory. It's quite simple, really." Dr. Daily suddenly turns to Will and raises all of his glasses, revealing some very squinty eyes underneath.
Will	Will jumps a little.
Dr. Daily	"Think about it, son. A whole ton of Porygon, suddenly appearing out of nowhere. None of them with a manufacturer's insignia, which is standard issue for every single company that produces Porygon."
Will	"Something fishy is afoot." Dr. Daily grins wide, showing some crooked teeth.
Dr. Daily	"There's only one logical conclusion, eh?" "No person made these Porygon!"
Zoop	"Upa??"
Will	"I'm not sure I follow..." Dr. Daily sighs and replaces his useful glasses.
Dr. Daily	"Look here, son. It's very simple. "One, there are Porygon here without insignias. Two, all man-made Porygon have insignias." "Thus, the Porygon here are not man-made!"
Will	"These are...natural porygons?" Dr. Daily shrugs high and shakes his head.
Dr. Daily	"Ridiculous! Absolutely absurd! But the only conclusion I could come to." "Now, as to HOW these Porygon came about, well..." Dr. Daily points to the other side of the room, where a whole wall is covered with equations, theorems, and various scribbles.
Dr. Daily	"Haven't gotten that far yet. Scientifically speaking, it's impossible."
Will	"Galens is a pretty weird place." Dr. Daily nods sagely.
Will	"Like, I was attacked by an Entei on my way here."
Dr. Daily	"Wait, what?"
Will	"I should probably tell someone about that." "Yeah came outta nowhere, whole place was on fire." Dr. Daily puts down his other three glasses and looks right at Will.
Will	"Had a small nightmare about it last night."
Dr. Daily	"An actual Entei? Giant, covered in bright hair, flames literally everywhere?"
Will	"Yeah. I googled it." Dr. Daily frowns.
Dr. Daily	"Well, not much else it could've been, I suppose."
Will	"In fact..." "It left this stone behind too." Will takes out the red stone. Dr. Daily raises up one of the four pairs of glasses and looks closely.
Dr. Daily	"Radiates heat, various EM waves, generally high energy..." Dr. Daily turns up to Will.
Dr. Daily	"You know what this is, son?"
Will	"No idea."
Dr. Daily	"Neither do I!" Dr. Daily leans back and laughs.
Will	"Oh! Well it's shiny so it must be important."
Dr. Daily	"I'm an electrical engineer, not a geologist!"
Zoop	Zoop nods sagely.
Will	"Maybe Nurse Joy would know..."
Dr. Daily	"Ah yes, the old Skarmory principle. Usually true, you know." "Well, how about we get this Porygon fixed up for you, eh?
Will	"I have to say though, I think I'm more curious about these porygon." "I wonder if we can find out what's happening." "Oh right! Can you use the Upgrade on him?"
Bic	"beep boop" Bic spins his little leg shapes. Dr. Daily nods. Dr. Daily points to an elaborate device next to Will.
Dr. Daily	"Put his Pokeball there, son."
Will	"In you go, pal." bsweoop Dr. Daily slots the Up-grade into the machine.
Will	Will places the pokeball into the slot.
Dr. Daily	"Now, ordinarily, you have to use a Trading Machine to do this. I've uh, simplified the process." "Especially since normal trading doesn't seem to be working on these Porygon." Dr. Daily punches a bunch of buttons on the machine and pulls a few levers, and the machine starts crackling with electricity.
Will	"That's dramatic..."
Zoop	"Upa..."
Dr. Daily	"Ah! Here we go!" Dr. Daily pulls the Pokeball out of the machine and hands it to Will.
Will	"Let's see what you look like now." Will releases Bic.
Bic	"happy broadband noises"
Drufle (GM)	pfffft
Will	"Woooah! You're round now."
Drufle (GM)	He's all curvy and stuff.
Will	"How do you feel, Bic."
Bic	Bic is accelerating around the room.
Zoop	Zoop jumps on top.
Drufle (GM)	Porygon2 has Download, by the way. He can choose to switch his high stat to one of his opponent's when he switches in. Or when they switch in, I forget. Dr. Daily grins at Bic.
Dr. Daily	"Ah, isn't it beautiful? I've always loved the design of Porygon2." "Much more efficient than the clunky beta design."
Will	"And more aerodynamic, apparently." Dr. Daily nods.
Will	"Bic, slow down!"
Dr. Daily	"Much faster, too!"
Will	"Thanks so much, Dr. Daily, sir."
Dr. Daily	"Oh, and in case you're wondering, I don't have any of those black market drives around. Too dangerous."
Will	"I wouldn't want him getting any more excitable, anyway." Dr. Daily nods.
Dr. Daily	"Well, unless you have anything else you'd like, I'll get back to my research." Dr. Daily reaches into his pocket and pulls out a slip of paper.
Dr. Daily	"Here's my Pokenav number, if you find out anything else about your Porygon."
Will	"Yeah, sure. If I can ever help with your research, let me know."
Drufle (GM)	I've decided that it's standard-issue for Galensi scientists to just have a ton of little slips of paper with their phone number on it with them at alltimes.
Will	i do this in real life Dr. Daily smiles wide.
Dr. Daily	"Hey, come see me when you've got your degree! I'd love a few more electrical engineers around."
Drufle (GM)	By the way, Bic has one more HP now.
Will	yay
Drufle (GM)	I don't remember if you were around for that conversation or not. Every evolution gives your Pokemon +1 HP. And Bic still qualifies for your underdog abilities, so I imagine you'll keep him this way?
Will	probably right then, back outside
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, back to the city.
Will	wonder what i should do now...
Drufle (GM)	Oh crap, actually uh. Can you roll attention for me? I forgot to give you loot for your fight with Zephy.
Will	rolling 2d6+6( 2 + 5 )+6 = 13
Drufle (GM)	And then a d6.
Will	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Drufle (GM)	2 Great balls, 2 full heals, and 4k pokeyen. Not much, but it's still handy.
Will	that was one rich bat
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you might want to ask Zephy about that. Where was it holding so much cash?????
Will	money bat
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, this is all you needed from Rhodos, so would you like to do some shopping?
Will	I should call Dr Zerro and let him know what Dr Daily said. i guess we dont need to act that out though unless he's going to say anything important as for shopping...lemme think
Drufle (GM)	No, that was just for flavor. Dr. Zerro knows a lot less about this than Daily. Do you remember the costs?
Will	looking at the pdf
Drufle (GM)	Righto. You don't really need any evo items, but you could get a key item. Because you aren't actually with the party, you could get an itemfinder or apricorn kit.
Will	i have one already, though
Drufle (GM)	Oh?
Will	camping equipment
Drufle (GM)	Wow, I totally forgot about that. Yeah, you do indeed. Well if that's the case, you can just buy some more Pokeballs or potions.
Will	ill buy one ultra ball
Drufle (GM)	Alright! A hefty 1200. If only Cici was here.
Will	i doubt ill need it anytime soon
Drufle (GM)	Man, look at how happy that Porygon2 icon is.
Will	but just in case
Drufle (GM)	Well, that is all for the area! There is the radio station, but that is mostly for flavor as well at the moment.
Will	I guess we'll just sit on the beach.
Drufle (GM)	Very well! It is a lovely day. It probably is only like midday still. Sun's high in the sky, a bunch of people are out here on the beach.
Will	Will's just gonna sit down, but the rest of them are active. as usual
Drufle (GM)	I would expect nothing less.
Will	Bic's drawing lines much more efficiently than before. Clearly its time for a pokerace
Drufle (GM)	Wouldn't it be harder? I mean, he had actual sharp edges earlier. Now he's all wobbly and spherical.
Will	He just puts his tail down and zooms. Thats how I imagined it at leasyt
Drufle (GM)	Oh, that would work.
Will	Everyone's at the start line. "Okay...ready...set...Go!" They all zoom off at incredible speeds. But it looks like Zephy's the fastest.
Zephy	"squeak" "!!!"
Drufle (GM)	Did you give Zephy speed focus?
Zoop	Zoop's out of breath for once.
Will	probably
Drufle (GM)	I think Speed Flying types get a ton of moves.
Will	ive made it canon now i cant back down but yeah its probabbly the best choice Hmm anything else to do now
Drufle (GM)	Here, in Rhodos? Nothing specific, no. You can go looking for more city Pokemon if you want. Or head off to a new town! Remember, you're at 5 up there.
Will	Things are getting crowded, I'll hold off on catching new pokemon for now
Drufle (GM)	Er, 6 I mean.
Will	I should head to the nearest gym having town.
Drufle (GM)	That would be 7! The marshy area in between the two lakes.
Will	I dont fancy climbing a mountain. so yeah sure we'll head there.
Drufle (GM)	It's about, say, 12 hours to Lazulin City. I can warn you ahead of time. You have nothing really to beat this gym, type-wise. You'll have to use brute strength!
Will	i have heart the best type
Drufle (GM)	I believe that's called Fairy. Fairy wouldn't help you either.
Will	i wonder if i should head out i nthe morning instead just sightsee for the rest of this day
Drufle (GM)	That wouldn't be a terrible idea, yeah. I mean, a 12 hour walk? Unfortunately, you don't have the Fly HM.
Will	we head to the radio tower and bic messes up some machines
Drufle (GM)	Or a large enough flier to use it.
Will	bic can fly
Drufle (GM)	No! Not the radio station! What a troublesome creature!
Will	he's doing it right now just climb on top
Drufle (GM)	He isn't a flying type, so he can't use Fly I think.
Will	never say never drufle
Drufle (GM)	Also, he's like half a meter tall.
Will	if duduo can fly so can i
Drufle (GM)	A fair point. Well, I think you've probably been kicked out of the radio station at this point. They're not incredibly fond of Pokemon messing up all the sensitive equipment.
Will	Aw, geez.
Drufle (GM)	Also, do you want to train with your Pokemon?
Will	yeah sure
Drufle (GM)	Get that persona exp.
Will	oh did i get xp for the fight
Drufle (GM)	Yes, 2 from the fight.
Will	or anything else
Drufle (GM)	You can have another 1 exp from discovering more about Bic.
Will	I'm level 3 now then Gasp!!!!
Will	ill put a point into speed
Drufle (GM)	I don't think any of your Pokemon can evolve yet, but you wouldn't do so anyway.
Will	are we continuing btw or is this the end
Drufle (GM)	Well, it's what, 1:30 where you are?
Will	im not bothered really but i do have some levelup stuff to do
Drufle (GM)	You should probably just do that then. My plans next are either to move you on to nearby gyms. Or just train up in the local area.
Will	or have more dogs attack me
Drufle (GM)	Nah, they don't come near cities. For now.
Will	ominous
Drufle (GM)	Most of what I say is incredibly ominous. Anyway, you'll probably do fine in the Lazulin gym. You have no type advantage, but neither do they!
Will	i got a good team no prob
Drufle (GM)	It'll be a serious fight of attrition. You have... quite a varied team. Flying/Dragon, Normal, Water/Ground, Psychic/Flying, and Poison/Fighting.
Will	gotta catch em all
Drufle (GM)	Yep! Well, that'll be it for now I suppose. Got lots of boon working to do, I imagine. Any idea on what you're taking?
Will	no idea i probably had a plan
Drufle (GM)	Excellent!
Will	but that was many years ago
Drufle (GM)	My favorite kind of answer. "P :P Well, we'll try to do this again soon so you don't forget everything.
Will	did you see my willbat
Drufle (GM)	I did! I was really confused for a bit.
Will	its pretty hilarious
Drufle (GM)	I thought you had quickly whipped up a new sprite for Zephy. But no, Will seems to have developed echolocation.
Will	i can hear everything
Drufle (GM)	It's terrifying. Alright, we're done here. Next time, gym battles!
Will	whee
