Drufle (GM)	Anyway! Just a bit late tonight.
Horanoven A.	Session 13 official start
Drufle (GM)	So last time, the party had a bit of a swing around the Smarag Isle, and got some neat Stuff. Including some rarer Pokemon and Mega Stones.
Moppy	is Cici not coming?
Horanoven A.	she's got family things
Drufle (GM)	She said she has family stuff, and will be late.
Moppy	oh yah
Drufle (GM)	But we have 3 people anyway, so we're just gonna do this.
Horanoven A.	progress!
Drufle (GM)	The group spent the night on the isle, probably really hot from all the humidity. Not the best place.
Horanoven A.	Axel's hair is even worse than usual
Drufle (GM)	They flew back to the ranch in the morning, and so we start this session around 10 am. Impersonate your characters already, by the way.
Axel	Alrighty
Drufle (GM)	The three of you arrive at the labranch, and construction has been continuing.
Axel	any of it usable yet? those wilderness areas are tempting
Drufle (GM)	There is a sizable foundation for the buildings, and it looks like the orchards have been planted and are being tamped down. Aidan is in the middle of the field, as usual, talking to someone. Axel is asleep on top of Wolfram Wolfram walks up to Aiden
Drufle (GM)	Rodan and Wolfram touch down in the center of the field.
Wolfram	"Scraw"
Aidan	"Oh, good morning! My, you all look quite scraggled."
Wolfram	"Raw"
Jack	"Like you wouldn't believe..."
Axel	"Nrrrg..." Jack is real dang out of it
Drufle (GM)	Aidan is talking to a young man with tan skin, dark hair, and an orange hat.
Axel	"Are we there yet..?"
Jack	"We landed, Ax" Aidan chuckles.
Aidan	"Tired, I see."
Axel	"Oh? Good...I'll just..." Axel falls off
Jack	"loads of thing---
Axel	"..."
Jack	STREAK
Axel	"There we go..." STREEEEEAK
Streak	(shh)
Wolfram	"Streak!"
Drufle (GM)	Do not draw attention to the viewing party. Shhhhhh.
Wolfram	I'mma bird, I do what I want
Jack	"Loads of stuff happened to all of us. I think we all managed to find mega stones or something?" Nickel hands Aiden notes relating to the orbs
Aidan	"More mega stones! Incredible!" "Oh?"
Nickel	"Zzrt zzzt" Aidan flips through the notes, nodding along.
Aidan	"Most curious... well, be careful. I think you may be getting a bit in over your heads!" Aidan hands the notes back to Nickel.
Nickel	"Zzzrt" -We're about 5 meters under-
Jack	"Can't help it if stuff like this falls into our laps just from touring the country."
Nickel	is aiden going to introduce the new fella?
Aidan	"Anyway, I'd like to introduce all of you to Saul! He arrived early this morning after having heard about all the construction coming up."
Nickel	there he is
Jack	"Ah! hello sir"
Saul	"Hey guys! What's up?" Nickel nods and gives a "Bzzt"
Drufle (GM)	Oh good, I was worried that I never told you how to impersonate. Nickel then attempts to pick up Axel
Axel	"5 more minutes, Nickel..."
Saul	my pokes live in their balls. just so you're aare aware*
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, everyones' does. Well aside from a few.
Axel	normally mine seem to get out a lot
Saul	(I unno what noises they make, so i don't want to have to impersonate them atm haha)
Jack	Nickel hacked his way out fair enough! oh
Aidan	"It was nice meeting you Saul, please enjoy the area! These fellows have done quite a job making this a possibility." Wolfram picks up Axel and holds him up
Jack	when you said orange hat Aidan waves and starts walking towards the construction.
Jack	I assumed one of the construction workers Axel hangs from Wolfram's beak
Drufle (GM)	No, Saul's hat is a vibrant orange.
Saul	"Yeah! This project's cool. I can't wait to have my own battledome!" grins intently
Axel	"nmmmm nice to meet you"
Drufle (GM)	The battlefield is just about done, not too far from the rest of the construction. Unfortunately, Axel and Jack are not in the best condition for meeting new people.
Saul	"What's eating you?"
Axel	You'd have better luck conversing with Rochelle
Jack	"um... I wasn't aware you had part-ownership?"
Axel	"Tired...jungles..." Jack is confuzzled
Axel	"too many vines..." Axel pulls a vine out of his shirt
Axel	"tooooo many vines"
Saul	"Wow. We're gonna have ta trade some war stories later on." Copper pops out of her Ball
Copper	"JINGLE!!" -FREEDOOOM!!-
Drufle (GM)	You and your terrible Pokemon.
Jack	"definitely. I need to head back to the ranch as it is, is it okay if we talk more there?"
Drufle (GM)	You're the scientist!
Copper	"Kingle-ling ling"
Jack	*the lab this is the ranch
Drufle (GM)	Indeed. It's bright and sunny out today.
Copper	-I've got warstories!-
Drufle (GM)	The cultivated wilderness, as you can see, does seem to be pretty much complete.
Saul	"Sounds good to me!"
Copper	"Kling ling ling ling!"
Saul	uh did ... Adi-what'shisface inform Saul of what he's gonna be doing?
Axel	"So...Aiden...how's construction going?"
Drufle (GM)	Aidan left, remember? He's over there with the construction workeres now.
Jack	"He left, Axel"
Saul	"You often in the habit of talking to thin air, bro? grin"
Drufle (GM)	Aidan brought Saul on to do some forest-clearing.
Axel	"Where did Aiden go?"
Drufle (GM)	He's got a lot of fire and we have a lot of trees that we don't want to exist.
Nickel	"Bzt" -He does-
Saul	napalm....
Jack	"please excuse him mister Saul, he's... unique"
Nickel	"bzzrt" -Also correct-
Jack	ahaa
Saul	"Oh just Saul, bro!"
Drufle (GM)	How old is Saul, anyway? I don't think we ever defined that.
Saul	he's like young-ish 14?
Drufle (GM)	I think the characters here are teens to early 20s.
Copper	-Time for the newperson ritual!-
Saul	yeah let's go with that
Copper	"Jingle!"
Drufle (GM)	Axel is the oldest by quite a bit. Copper swoops down and snags Saul's hat
Saul	I'm a promising young lad
Copper	"Jingleklang!"
Saul	goes well with the ace trainer thing
Jack	tfw the tall(?) handsome lad you're talking with is the same age as you
Saul	may not have a good grasp of baattles yet but my pokes are stronk
Copper	I haven't done this in a while
Saul	Also uh, please PLEASE inform me if i get genders wrong i'm going off the names
Copper	Copper is a girl and she just stole your hat there she goes
Saul	"Woah, that one's spirited!" "Give it back when you're done, aight?"
Jack	"Copper get back here!"
Copper	and once again, no body is bothered
Jack	"augh, why do I bother..."
Copper	"Klang!"
Saul	"No worries there bro! By teh way, how's bout you introduce yourselves?"
Axel	"She''ll give it back" "Just ignore her for a little while" "Huh? Oh right"
Drufle (GM)	The only female in the party is Cici. Pokemon, you'll have to figure out yourself.
Saul	thanks druf
Jack	ah right yes of course
Drufle (GM)	So the group walks back to the lab, where there is air conditioning. Sweet, sweet AC.
Axel	"I'm Axel Ferrum, I'm one of Proffessor Hawthorn's resident scientists"
Saul	"Cool! You make all of this possible huh?"
Axel	"My companion is Nickel" Saul points at machines
Jack	"I'm Jack Ayesland, here on work experience. I study palaeontology usually."
Axel	"I err...had a bit of a hand"
Jack	"we all pitched in"
Saul	"Paleon... What's that? Like fossils an' stuff?" Copper enters the lab wearing Saul's hat
Copper	its too big help, I can't see
Saul	"Ahahaha! It looks good on you, buddy!"
Jack	"yes, well, combined palaeontology/archaeology really"
Copper	"Klling?"
Jack	"study and unerathing of fossils" *unearthing Saul is in hysterics
Saul	"Ahaha.. that's pretty cool Jack.. bit to smart for me" grins Jack stifles a giggle
Jack	"Oh it's nothing!"
Saul	i'm pausing to let druf narrate a bit more
Drufle (GM)	Oh no, this is all on you.
Saul	it is? oh dear ok
Axel	"Copper, please... don't bump into the machinery"
Drufle (GM)	I'm making a map for the cultivated wilderness. Go wild.
Jack	"Still, didn't really expect how it would change my pokemon team. I really like Ice-types, but right now most of my team-mates are rock" Axel trips over some wires trying to get a hold of Copper
Saul	"I guess ya gotta get into the mind of what you're workin' on!"
Nickel	"Bzzzt"
Jack	"oh definitely!"
Saul	"That's why my pokemon are all fire type. In my head is a burnin' desire to be at the top. :D"
Nickel	"Zzt!"
Saul	"Also I've only been able to catch the two I have... but I'll get more!" blushes a bit
Jack	"ah, I was meaning to ask. So I guess you came in to help with clearing forest out?"
Saul	"Yeah, I'm bringin' in the FIREpower." grin
Nickel	-That seems unsafe with fire- "Zzzt zzrt z-z-z-z---" Nickel sparks a little
Saul	"I've been very strict in our training ray-gym, so mah fellas know how to control their flames"
Jack	"ah, that's good to hear"
Saul	"Why don't I let 'em out!" Nickel shakes himself off and goes to help Axel Saul throws out two pokeballs with custom flame decals
Saul	(pls help dunno how to noise)
Axel	"Ooof...oh! Are these your pokemon?"
Bakin	Oink! or something
Axel	you got a pig and a chicken
Jack	you don't need to noise if u don't want
Hatcha	Buck buc buck
Axel	use those noises
Jack	it's hard I know
Sol	hahahahahaha farm animals....
Saul	"That hot chick over there,' more grin
Jack	"Oh wow, two "Starter" Pokemon!"
Saul	"That's Hatcha. He's my first pal!"
Jack	"you said you caught them yourself? they're rare in the wild"
Axel	"Hmmm, that is quite a feat" "where did you find them?"
Saul	"Well... cough I may have been given them."
Jack	"ah, fair enough"
Saul	"Sorry.. I like feelin' like I did it all from the top" Copper lands on Sauls head
Jack	"I shouldn't have assumed anything"
Copper	-I give up- Saul pats the pokemon on his head
Saul	"Anyway, the other handsome fella there, that's Bakin"
Axel	"Both fire fighting types..."
Saul	both pokefriends make happy noises
Jack	um... Baking?" "
Axel	"I never noticed how many starters are fighting type"
Saul	"Nah, nah it's Bakin, without the G"
Jack	"okay"
Saul	"He likes it! grin" "Dontcha boy?"
Bakin	Squeel!
Jack	oh sol
Axel	how do we get this guy to follow us?
Jack	if you type "/me" while as your mon it does the orange box thing
Saul	I'm aware thanks
Jack	ok jsyk
Saul	appreciated it :)
Drufle (GM)	I'm just rolling up encounters, don't mind me. Keep it going.
Saul	I'll uh try to do some more haha
Drufle (GM)	Just need a few more minutes.
Axel	I am running low on things to say
Drufle (GM)	RP your way over to the sanctuary.
Jack	"Well, now that introductions are out of the way... would it be alright if we had a battle?"
Drufle (GM)	Or that. That is also a thing you can do.
Axel	"Well...we've got quite a bit of wilderness around here"
Saul	"So what did you guys battle over here? What's in the wild?"
Axel	"o-or a battle, that's fine too" "There are...many things in the wild"
Jack	"oh there's loads of different mons in the woods"
Axel	"give me a sec to find my notes.."
Jack	"it's getting a bit out of hand, to tell the turth" *truth
Saul	oh uh i missed the bit about the battle we can have one sure Axel begins searching for his notebook
Saul	refresh me Nickel hands Saul the notebook about the legendary discoveries
Drufle (GM)	Oh lord, this is gonna be a hell of a wild encounter.
Sol	also sorry i keep forgetting to change into Sol for ooc
Drufle (GM)	Nah, don't bother.
Nickel	ya don't need to Sol for ooc
Jack	do we have that first or fight each other now
Drufle (GM)	Anything you say without quotes is ooc.
Nickel	its too much work
Saul	Oh.. I'll put pokenoises in quotes too then so what do
Axel	"Oh...thanks Nickel"
Drufle (GM)	If you'd like, you can battle it up.
Saul	battle or meander to sanctuary?
Axel	Saul, you have a notebook about wild legendaries
Drufle (GM)	I can do either.
Axel	Nickel just gave it to you
Jack	let's fight each other now
Saul	Ah alright I'm not sure what they're meant to be Saul expersses great interest at the legendaries
Saul	"I'm DEFINITELY gonna get me one of them!"
Axel	"Well...that book contains a bit of our...abnormal findings"
Jack	whispers to axel "are you sure this is okay? we've only just met him!"
Saul	"That's cool, Axel, but I'm not in the habit of refusing a challenge! So I'm gonna fire it up with Jack here, if that's aight with you!" grins he grins a lot, it's a compensation for insecurity
Jack	"Ah! I'll be right there, just a sec!"
Drufle (GM)	Sounds like Daryl.
Axel	whispers back to Jack "I didn't think that far ahead"
Drufle (GM)	Except Daryl is just actually really happy.
Saul	he's happy
Axel	"but he deserves to know if he's going to be around"
Saul	Saul, I ean I mean but he's a kid among 20 y/os
Jack	I Do the Things I need to to switch the party
Saul	and he's spent quite a bit of time alone
Axel	"Right so...I guess I'm reffery?"
Saul	pokes are more his friend than people back home
Jack	:(
Saul	"If ya don't mind, Prof.!"
Drufle (GM)	Have your fight outside so you don't break stuff.
Axel	"Oh, I'm not a professor"
Saul	good idea
Drufle (GM)	So, Jack versus Saul!
Axel	"just a scientist, but thank you"
Saul	"Oh sorry Axel I uh.. I musta misheard ya" Nickel flies up above
Nickel	-reads off the rules of battle- in beeps
Jack	NOT YET
Nickel	"bzzrt zzt z-z-z-z-zz----z-z"
Drufle (GM)	The music ends abruptly. Nickel wobbles a bit in the air, before returning to a safe position
Nickel	noooo, not the music1 it was so young
Jack	oh wait nevermind I did it all before we got here! team's ready to go!
Drufle (GM)	Who's coming out first?
Saul	"Hey Copper, can I have my hat back? I need it for the battle!" grin
Nickel	"Bzzt, Zrrt, Zzzzt, Bzzzert!!"
Saul	Torchic *k Copper has resigned to just being in the hat
Drufle (GM)	I mean, Saul is slightly outnumbered here but he should be fine.
Jack	"So Saul, first to two?"
Saul	Combusken uh.. "Hathca! I choose youuuuu" larfs
Jack	I'm not gonna use my whole team on you man so you win if you beat two of mine
Saul	agreed why don't you tell that to Saul
Drufle (GM)	Jack? He already did!
Jack	yah
Drufle (GM)	Like five lines up.
Jack	"I mean I have a full team here. so if you beat two of mine, I lose the match" "that alright with you?"
Saul	"You're on!" who's first? do we roll for that?
Jack	"okay! go Moraine!"
Saul	oh no it's speed
Copper	what's your speeds?
Jack	5
Copper	who is the fasterest
Saul	5 for hatcha ahahah
Copper	roll off! 2d6
Saul	rolling 2d6( 6 + 2 ) = 8
Jack	rolling 2d6( 4 + 4 ) = 8
Saul	AHAHAHA
Copper	...
Jack	ahahahahaha
Saul	rolling 2d6( 6 + 2 ) = 8 wtf
Jack	rolling 2d6( 4 + 3 ) = 7 there it is
Copper	almost but Saul is first
Drufle (GM)	Wow, you guys were just edging in there, huh.
Copper	since this is player v player do we shout moves at the same time?
Saul	I wanna know what hte probabiility table is for two dice
Drufle (GM)	I do like how Saul made exactly the same roll twice.
Saul	Yeah ok
Jack	impossible
Drufle (GM)	Nah, just do them one by one.
Saul	we can pm them to druf
Copper	8 is pretty close tot he center of the curve 7 is the middle
Drufle (GM)	If anyone wants to use a priority move, say so at the beginning of the round.
Jack	ok
Drufle (GM)	That's the only way this changes, really.
Saul	ok, well, i think it's obvious what move I use
Copper	prepare to deal with the bulk Moraine cracks her knuckles
Copper	oh snap son!
Saul	"Hatcha! Low Kick!" Copper pops out of Saul's hat
Saul	hat's my dmg mod? what*
Copper	"Klingaling!"
Drufle (GM)	Math time!
Moraine	what's your high stat?
Drufle (GM)	It's just +1. +2 if you have ATK focus. Which you do not.
Saul	SPA
Copper	damage mod is how much more or less than 2 you are doing
Drufle (GM)	He has spatk, if I remember.
Moraine	oh right yes STAB is advantage
Copper	supereffective, then its +1
Drufle (GM)	Do you remember the macro, Saul?
Saul	I'm on it which is why I asked so +1?
Copper	yup
Saul	isn't there something that maeks it -1 somewhere?
Copper	low kick?
Saul	yeah
Moraine	yeah when you click the target it asks for modifiers add or subtract there
Saul	i remember it sucking before.. not sure hy why*
Copper	no, Low kick doens't have any mods its just normal physical attack
Saul	so +1 for super effective?
Copper	yep
Drufle (GM)	Indeed. Saul: Hatcha used Low Kick! Target Moraine Roll 3 6 5 + 6 AC 15 Damage 3
Copper	nice hit
Moraine	welp!
Drufle (GM)	THWACK
Saul	can't see the bars ofc
Nickel	"Brzzt zzzt"
Drufle (GM)	Jack,retaliate!
Moraine	tfw geodude still doesn't levitate
Nickel	-The rock is out-
Jack	"ah, expected as much"
Saul	"Woah! Sorry about that, jack!" Axel ducks as Morain flies over Saul pats Hatcha
Drufle (GM)	Man, that would've been a Sniper hit.
Jack	"it's alright, I won't use anyone who gets mad about losing!" Saul smiles
Axel	"Mind the aim, please"
Drufle (GM)	Who's up next?
Jack	"hum, who next"
Axel	"I don't have a hard hat"
Saul	"Ahaha, sorry Axel!"
Drufle (GM)	Combusken also has Speed Boost, remember.
Jack	"Go Hannan!"
Drufle (GM)	The move you make after you knock out a Pokemon has priority.
Axel	Speed boost!? welp gg Jack not that he wasn't already going first
Drufle (GM)	Well, Hannan at least gets a move in. Due to the funky switch-in mechanics. Jack releases his Snorunt, who zips around in every direction before facing the foe
Saul	yeah switched in poke is top priority right? dafuq is that
Drufle (GM)	Also I applaud your courage for sending in an Ice type against a Fire/Fighting type.
Jack	no Hannan just has 8 speed
Axel	if you get knocked out, the pokemon coming in takes the turn the other mon would've taken
Jack	true
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, it isn't any kind of priority.
Axel	8 speed is irrelevant here
Drufle (GM)	Besides, Hatcha would go first anyway due to Speed Boost.
Saul	alright wel, let's do this
Axel	since we haven't ticked to the next round yet
Jack	still its worth seeing sol's reaction to a snorunt
Drufle (GM)	Hannan, strike!
Saul	lolol, sorry
Jack	"You know what to do!"
Axel	oh god Avalanche?
Saul	ground?
Axel	have mercy Jack: Hannan used Avalanche! Target Hatcha Roll 6 4 1 + 5 AC 14 Damage 2
Saul	do I get normal effectiveness because of my fire/fighting duel type?
Axel	oh dear rip Combusken
Jack	wah
Drufle (GM)	A hit!
Jack	is it?
Axel	10 + 5
Drufle (GM)	Well you only have one dis-advantage, right?
Jack	alright! yeah
Drufle (GM)	So you're neutral, and you use the first two dice.
Axel	and its only normal resist
Jack	"now freeze it!" spend that pp
Axel	Stab gives advantage and fighting doesn't resist ice
Saul	how does dmg 2 mean combusken died?
Drufle (GM)	Well that one resistance gives -1 damage. So that should only be 1, not 2.
Axel	Combusken, you are frozen
Saul	ain't he got 6 hp?
Axel	avalanche can spend a PP to freeze
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you aren't actually out.
Axel	you're stuck
Saul	oh god
Jack	in a pile of snow~~
Axel	with a 50% chance to break free each round
Saul	"Hatcha! Darnit!"
Axel	"Oh...oh dear"
Jack	"I'm not totally defenseless!"
Saul	"Yeah, that was a great comeback for sure!"
Drufle (GM)	Well, Hannan gets a free hit! Hannan runs around excitedly
Axel	does he not get to break free?
Drufle (GM)	Hatcha can't get his out-chance until the end of this next round.
Saul	I don't get to roll gettin out of it?
Axel	or try, rather
Saul	oh welp
Axel	oh, freeze has a minimum
Drufle (GM)	You get the attempt at the end of a round in which you have done nothing, apparently.
Axel	good to know
Saul	I sitch out
Drufle (GM)	Oh, alright.
Saul	swithc
Drufle (GM)	Wise!
Axel	bring in the bacon
Saul	"Alright, time for bakin to heat this up!
Bakin	"Squeeel!"
Drufle (GM)	Well, Hannan goes first. Mega speedy.
Axel	I probably should've gotten dinner durring this you think I can brb real quick?
Jack	"hrm, this is a pickle"
Saul	I'm ok with it personally
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead.
Axel	alright brb then
Jack	my turn?
Saul	"awright bakin, you better hang tough, and then we're gonna roast 'em!" yeah you go
Jack	"Gotta go for power Hannan! Blizzard!!" Hannan used Blizzard! Target Bakin Roll 2 5 3 + 5 AC 14 Damage 3
Drufle (GM)	Nope!
Jack	too warm!
Drufle (GM)	Especially with that -1 to hit. Bakin!
Saul	you're gonna have to explain the readout to me at some point but anyway
Jack	it was a 2 5 3 +5 AC 14 I would have hit for 3 damage
Saul	"Bakin! Fire punch!" that makes it 15 that's not a hit? even minus one you match my AC
Jack	you don't use all the dice
Saul	-1 roll ahhh gotcha
Jack	only the rightmost if you have no advantage and the top two if you have also -1 outside hail ' 3'
Saul	ok wel
Drufle (GM)	You only use the highest two dice if you have an advantage. If your roll is neutral, you use the first two.
Jack	define first two
Saul	still not clear on damage mods so
Jack	the ones on the left?
Drufle (GM)	The leftmost two.
Jack	ohhh
Saul	what's the mod for the tepig thing names ahh
Drufle (GM)	Pignite.
Saul	That one
Drufle (GM)	What attack are you using?
Saul	Fire Punch which is ofc physical, fire
Jack	I cant believe you can make macros and then noot be able to use them
Drufle (GM)	Just +1.
Saul	I understand code, less so the mechanics of trpgs
Jack	you have the power but not the sight~ Saul: Bakin used Fire Punch! Target Hannan Roll 4 6 6 + 6 AC 15 Damage 3
Jack	AUGH
Drufle (GM)	You get +1 for having a type advantage and oh god.
Saul	wow..
Jack	melted! just fucking melted!
Drufle (GM)	That was, uh, hardly a fight.
Jack	"well I did say two-on-two" Saul doesn't know if he should be happy or apologetic" Jack shakes his head
(To Sol)	Hey, did you want any types of Pokemon other than Fire and Fighting?
Saul	"Hey uh, it was a good fight though!"
Jack	"good match Saul! put 'er there" Jack shake hands Saul puts 'er there
(To Sol)	It's /w Drufle
(To Sol)	To respond to me.
(From Saul)	thanks, and uh.. I don't actually know yet
(To Sol)	Fair enough! I just wanted to know if I should put some dark types in the sanctuary for you to catch.
(From Saul)	most likely yes but not sure which type. I don't want mono or duel
(To Sol)	They'd have some extra boosts from Discipline Training.
Drufle (GM)	A rousing battle!
(From Saul)	yeah I can dig that!
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, I think we can start making our way over. Saul sends pokes back to their balls
Saul	"Good job, pals!"
Drufle (GM)	You took 1 whole point of damage. That entire fight.
Saul	heheh that's dumb luck
Jack	it was a triumph
Saul	and the fact that rock and ice my two weakest foes
Drufle (GM)	True.
Saul	alongside grass i 'spose
Axel	I'm back! Jack recovers the two sacrifices to companionship
Axel	how did the fight go? :D
Saul	it went.. very quickly
Jack	hallo
Axel	sorry to keep you waiting
Jack	I hit him once he hit me twice case closed
Axel	wow not bad
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, it was a wreckage.
Axel	do the fighters get EXP?
Drufle (GM)	RP your way over to the sanctuary, it should all be setup. Oh, right! Both of you get 1 exp.
Jack	I wish I did cool
Drufle (GM)	For companionship.
Jack	:D
Axel	"W-well...that was certainly something" "Now...lets get over to the santuaries" "I hear they've been completed first"
Saul	scratches head, grinning "Eheheh, it was great!"
Nickel	"Bzzt zzztzz-z-z-z-z"
Saul	"Aight, let's go!" "NOW IF I COULD JUST HAVE MY HAT BACK" "feelin' naked without it, Copper. smiles"
Copper	"kling!?"
Drufle (GM)	Didn't Copper give it back? Copper is filled with joy
Copper	"Klingalingaling!" Copper flies off with the hat
Drufle (GM)	I've been slightly too busy to remember if that happened. Ah, guess not.
Axel	"..."
Saul	i keep track of my hat
Axel	"Oh dear"
Saul	and not much else Jack pulls his hat down over his ears
Saul	"Welp. Rest in peace, hat."
Jack	"I'll buy you a new one"
Axel	"I told you to ignore her..."
Saul	"Sorry, heheh, she's cute!"
Axel	"Oh...you should see her in battle"
Saul	"I have a few replacements Jack, no worries" Saul whips out a hat from his backpack
Axel	"She seems to make pokemon angry with her"
Saul	"See? Problem solved!"
Drufle (GM)	How appropriately Pokemon of you.
(From Saul)	i request infinite hat replacements to deal with copper
Copper	-Klefki Von Copper wins again!-
(To Sol)	We'll get right on that.
Drufle (GM)	To the Wilderness! The Cultivated one, I mean.
Saul	yus!
Axel	alright then
Saul	safari, basicaly ?
Drufle (GM)	No, the safari zone comes later.
Saul	oh. you exlpained, but mym emory...
Drufle (GM)	You need like 3 different Cultivated Wildernesses for that.
Saul	anyway let's go!
Axel	oh hey
Jack	mym emory is a good name
Axel	we've got 3 more forest oh god vines!
Saul	vinin' it up in this bring out your smartphones
Jack	man. you can't build this Nickel gets caught on a vine as he enters the forest
Nickel	"Zzzzt!?zz-z-z-"
Saul	"Oh man. That right there, that's some big pile of firewood!" sniggers
Axel	"I-I think we shouldn't light the forest on fire" "We did just build it" "Now where's Nickel?"
Jack	"yeah this cost like 5000 dollars"
Saul	not actually sure if saul was kidding,, depends if this is where there's work to be done
Axel	"Jack, what happened to him?"
Drufle (GM)	I like how I have no Grass types in this at all.
Jack	"didn't see him coming in"
Axel	"Ah...uh...hold on" "I need to find him" Axel wanders off looking
Saul	can I roll for perception try to spot him
Axel	that's an idea, certainly
Saul	(a joke) oh ffor real?
Axel	please do Axel sure as hell wont
Drufle (GM)	Attention checks. Oh wait, I don't think I ever put in macros for Saul.
Axel	Nickel is his entire Attention score
Drufle (GM)	Just roll 2d6+Att.
Axel	2d6 + Attention score
Saul	rolling 2d6+6( 3 + 6 )+6 = 15 Saul tries to spot Nickel
Drufle (GM)	Found him!
Saul	"there he is! oh boy you got tangled, buddy!" Nickel is weakly struggling against the vines
Nickel	"Z-z-z-z-z-z-z---" Saul helps Nickel out of the bind
Nickel	-Thanks...-
Saul	You can observe Saul's utter devotion when it comes to handling pokemon
Nickel	"Zzt"
Saul	It's like they were his children
Drufle (GM)	You guys hear a ridiculously loud rumbling coming from nearby.
Axel	"Thank you for finding him!"
Saul	"no prob, but did you hear that?"
Jack	"w-h-what's that I feel"
Saul	"Mor eimportantly did you feel that?"
Axel	"I don't like the feeling of this" PHOONE OH SHIT
Jack	AUGH
Saul	PHOONE
Cici	me
Axel	ONIX PHOONE IS AN ONIX!!
Cici	what
Drufle (GM)	So I might've rolled some interesting results.
Cici	i am
Axel	THAT YOU DID SIR
Cici	is this the mystery dungeon spinoff
Saul	more work for saul
Drufle (GM)	Well, the Onix was intended for Jack, actually.
Axel	fighting types and ground types
Drufle (GM)	The Gible would be for Axel.
Axel	ohhh I don't like this matchup I do want that gible
Jack	"Ah Cici, there you are! get down from there!"
Saul	i was kiding kidding*
Axel	I have ultraballs
Drufle (GM)	Also I think you guys forgot how sanctuaries work, since we haven't had one in so long.
Axel	that Gible will be mine
Drufle (GM)	There's no fighting here!
Jack	Yes precious giant rock snek
Cici	we dont fite
Jack	oh
Cici	we care for them
Axel	oh right
Drufle (GM)	These are peaceful Pokemon.
Cici	precious bigboy
Jack	"new friends!"
(From Axel)	I need a fight for Nickel eventually
Drufle (GM)	They rumbled up from a nearby cave.
Cici	i get uhhh advantage to catch right
(To Axel)	Yeah, I know. Now can't be the time, though. We'll see what we can grab from later on.
Axel	damn, I''m going to have to swap out Mable for this Gible
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Cici	so i dont want any of these
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, I didn't include a Pokemon here for Cici.
Cici	but i can help catch if you guys wanna its ok !
Drufle (GM)	I thought you were gonna be later!
(From Axel)	alright
Drufle (GM)	Both the Riolu and Scraggy were intended for Saul.
Axel	catch what we don't you a prof, anyways
Cici	me 2 eheh
Saul	I want the Scraggy
Axel	I call dibs on gibs
Saul	so mch
Drufle (GM)	The massive Onix snakes up through the earth, moving trees around it.
Axel	"Woah..."
Cici	sol what pokemon types are you specced in im guessing fighting/dark then Axel is taken a-back
Drufle (GM)	It comes to a stop in front of the party, and the three passengers hop off into the tangles of vines.
Saul	fire/fighting, palnning for dark planning*
Cici	nice...
Axel	Awww
Drufle (GM)	He's actually primary Fire, but there is no way to get Fire types in here.
Axel	that's adorable Onixmobile
Drufle (GM)	Do your catching!
Axel	catch now?
Drufle (GM)	Cici should do most of it, because she is REALLY good at this.
Jack	what's onix's mod
Saul	ok people can do catch and I will watch + read about it in the book
Cici	tru
Axel	no chitchat with the mons?
Drufle (GM)	39 for Onix.
Jack	hm
Drufle (GM)	Oh, chat it up first if you'd like! I'm just saying you don't need to set up for a fight. Copper flies in with an orange hat on her head
Saul	"Oh man, oh man! Look! It's a Scraggy! and a Riolu!"
Cici	can someone catch me up on
Copper	-Behold! A dragonslayer is amongst you!-
Cici	where this guy came from and where we are
Copper	"Jingling"
Cici	im gonna grab an ice pop real fast
Jack	Oh this is Sol, playing saul the ace trainer
Cici	if anyone feels like leaving me 2000 pms
Drufle (GM)	Gible is 300.
Cici	i was aware of that much
Copper	Gible is what now?
Cici	gible is 300 excuse me
Drufle (GM)	I'll catch you up on telegram. Oh shit, uh. 30.
Cici	ghdfhgh
Copper	thank you
Cici	GOD Copper pulls out a pokeball
Cici	tricky lil fecker
Saul	ahahaha... it happened... someone tried to tell someone else Sol is Saul
Copper	-Who shall join me on an epic quest!-
Saul	I was awiting for that Jack slowly approaches the giant sandworm
Copper	-Anyone? Perhaps a Dragon? Wink wink nudge nudge- "Klingajingle"
Jack	"hey there buddy!" Jack pulls out a Poke-safe snack
Copper	Jack is being cautions, and Copper is just in there, chatting up a storm -How about the little chubby cutie right here?-
Jack	copper has the advantage of being much harder to crush into pulp
Copper	-How about it? Will you join us?- Copper holds the ultraball up to the gible
Copper	"Jingle"
Axel	"Copper what are you even doing?"
Jack	did we say the three were off the onic
Drufle (GM)	Scraggy is 35. Saul is stifling yet more laughter
Jack	there I didn't want to catch the snake and send the others tumbling
Saul	"Man, your mons are so gutsy!"
Copper	ultra is 40 right?
Jack	"you haven't seen even a tenth of them yet" yes it is
Copper	what is ultra? okay good
Drufle (GM)	40, yes. Riolu is a measly 29.
Saul	"Monsters after my own heart!" grin so I don't actually do any catching? because I would suck at it?
Copper	uhhh Druf? no BST on this gible
Drufle (GM)	It's 30. Oh, don't use the macros.
Copper	its giving me errors oh
Cici	the macros dont work
Copper	uhh
Drufle (GM)	That's a bunch of nasty mess.
Copper	2d6 + Apt + 40 then?
Jack	you can get the riolu yourself I think because its catch rate is lower than the great ball's value
Drufle (GM)	I'd rather not plug in their BST for a one-time use.
Copper	rolling 2d6+47( 1 + 3 )+47 = 51
Drufle (GM)	Congrats! You now have a Gible!
Copper	"Boop"
Saul	does the party share inventory? what do we or I even have? Copper bumps the Gible on the nose with the ball
Jack	we do not
Cici	inventory is personal its in your character sheet
Drufle (GM)	The little lizard hops up and down on the vines, and leaps right into the Ultra Ball. Did I not give you any items to start with? I could've sworn I did.
Saul	maybe not
Jack	*after a very long staring match, the Onix eats Jack's proffered treat"
Saul	i don't see anything on my notes or sheet
Jack	*
Copper	"klingaling!" happy key noises
Drufle (GM)	Well, let's say you have 10 Pokeballs, 5 Great Balls, and 3 Ultra Balls. Potions and other such you'll be getting plenty of and not using.
Jack	rolling 2d6+46( 3 + 2 )+46 = 51 and the onix is sucked into a tiny sphere I guess
Copper	these rolls
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, the Onix stares intensely at Jack and then just vanishes. He seems content with this conclusion.
Saul	so ultra for snaggy
Drufle (GM)	You have to roll for your guys, Saul!
Saul	and great for riolu
Drufle (GM)	Righto. That's gonna be an auto-catch for both, but you can roll anyway if you like.
Saul	since that guarantees it
Jack	get a feel for it
Saul	sure
Copper	sorry, just picking name for new Gible
Saul	I know I have to total the base stats for them but i can't see those then I add the ball's base capture rate to a.. apptitude roll how do I do one o those?
Drufle (GM)	Again, you can't use the macro for those yet.
Axel	"Oh...good job Copper"
Drufle (GM)	I haven't set them up on Saul. It's 2d6+APT Which is 7 for you. So roll 2d6+7+baserate.
Saul	rolling 2d6+7( 1 + 5 )+7 = 13 oof luckily i picked the right balls
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, really.
Saul	rolling 2d6+7( 4 + 3 )+7 = 14
Drufle (GM)	You guys are having terrible rolls!
Axel	to do- fill out gible Saul chucks a great ball at Riolu and an Ultra ball at Scraggy, in one sweeping motion!
Saul	because i'm badass that's why
Axel	lolwut Gible has HP and ATK for highstats but Gabite swaps HP for Speed but then Garchomp gets HP back
Jack	fat sharklet
Drufle (GM)	That is... strange indeed.
Axel	I did not expect that
Drufle (GM)	Congratulations on the goodies! Hey, Cici. You have the Apricorn kit, right?
Axel	I have one
Drufle (GM)	Or you, alright.
Axel	she sadly does not what you want me to roll? "Right...lets see if theres anything growing out here yet"
Drufle (GM)	You have to roll 2d6 twice. Oh wait, nevermind.
Axel	hmm?
Drufle (GM)	You don't actually get to do that here. That's why we have the apricorn orchard!
Axel	ooops
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, think I have all the permissions done? Wait, I forgot Onix.
Cici	yea i dont have a key item i was gonna buy one but then i got sidetracked by mega stone mega deals
Drufle (GM)	There! Done! Jack, you really need to stop catching things. I have to scroll through this massive list now.
Cici	Not Allowed
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, that should be all for this sanctuary. So now, we ought to start moving towards the next gym!
Jack	Can we get folders?
Drufle (GM)	I can do that, yes.
Axel	okay then
Drufle (GM)	For active/nonactive?
Jack	cool
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you already have folders for your own Pokemon.
Jack	no more like just like ice types, rock types that aren't fossils and fossils
Saul	"Oh man, I can't believe I found both Riolu and Snaggy in the same place! That's awesome!"
Drufle (GM)	Oh, that kind of thing. Yeah, I'll do sorting later.
Jack	ok
Saul	pft.. riolu.. :X
Axel	I have so many ATK focus mons
Jack	"yeah, this is what these sanctuaries were built for!"
Axel	"Those are pretty rare pokemon" "I'm amazed they got here so quickly"
Jack	"well maybe not catching things but" "as a refuge"
Saul	"i promise you they will get only the best care with me." smiles it was impulse... the guiding force of Sauls' universe somehow knew he was meant to throw some balls..
Axel	"Well, I guess that settles it here"
Drufle (GM)	So, let me think of where the gyms are. I'd like to direct everyone's attention to the map.
Axel	If we head to the Desert, how many days will it take?
Drufle (GM)	Which I was totally going to add a legend to and forgot. Are you flying or walking? Wait, you can't fly.
Phosphera	This Gible is clear for use Once I get to a PC
Drufle (GM)	I don't think Rodan can hold three people. Can he?
Axel	Wolfram is still here Saul doesn't fear him yet
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, but Wolfram is an ass.
Saul	Oh man I gotta work up my poke pokes uh.. how necessary is that to do right now?
Drufle (GM)	No, he has a good point.
Axel	how soon do you want to use them?
Jack	Rodan is a two-seater craft
Drufle (GM)	If you aren't terrified of Wolfram, you should be fine. Anyways, does everyone have the map up?
Axel	yes
Saul	I have it
Jack	mhm
Drufle (GM)	Locations 7, 9, 10, and 11 have gyms. 7 is to the northeast, in the swamps. 9 is far to the east. 10 is due south in the desert. And 11 is in the southeast corner.
Axel	go for the closest one, really its going to be a long walk
Saul	we are at.. ?
Axel	have Aiden send us out for field work
Drufle (GM)	That would almost certainly be the desert village of Citrina.
Axel	we are near 1 I think
Drufle (GM)	See 1? See the t-intersection due east of 1?
Axel	oh, we'll pass by B
Drufle (GM)	That's where you are.
Axel	lets go to B on the way
Drufle (GM)	Very well!
Saul	sorry numbers are tiny having trouble
Drufle (GM)	Off to Citrina Village we go!
Saul	one moment
Axel	I need to grab Phosphera on the way
Saul	or you know what
Drufle (GM)	You can click on the map to zoom in.
Saul	just go with what they said i'll uh just follow the herd lol
Drufle (GM)	To adventure!
Axel	if you want to follow us we'll probably let you I mean, we did let Will follow us around
Drufle (GM)	Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Saul	if there's something I should be doing I can do that but i'm not sure how conductive that is to a cooperative trpg session lolol
Drufle (GM)	You finished your work here! You are free to do as you like.
Saul	what about burnin' things? i never got to do that :PP
Drufle (GM)	You unfortunately did the burning off-screen. For now, we'll have to wait and burn things later.
Saul	lol that's cool get it? cool?
Drufle (GM)	Gahhhh puns.
Axel	we'll have a wild, don't worry okay so, I also got Phospera out of the PC swapped Mabel
Drufle (GM)	So the party begins heading south from the ranchlab, on their way to the desert. Alright! So, we were stopping at location B?
Saul	and I stuck my two catches in the PC if they didn't go there automagically will name and work them up later...
Jack	i guess we are chief
Drufle (GM)	Alright!
Axel	yes B
Drufle (GM)	And you're flying or walking?
Axel	walking I guess its not far
Saul	ima ride my chicken buck buck b'cuck!
Axel	"Right so...lets see here" Axel nearly falls into the water
Axel	"Yelp!"
Drufle (GM)	SPLASH
Axel	I'm fine I'm fine
Jack	big fjord Nickel bumps into Axel, he seems out of it
Nickel	"Zzt!" Axel goes falling into the water Saul steps back to avoid the splash drips, in a comical kind of way
Nickel	"Bzzzt Zztt!-z-z-z!" Nickel attempts to pull Axel out of the water
Nickel	Jack halp
Drufle (GM)	Welcome to Carnella Lake! Jack releases Brunt
Jack	"go. help the man"
Brunt	"mgh"
Saul	"I'm not to hot about gettin' wet, man, heheh.." Nickel sparks and falls backwards
Saul	"Good thing we're among so many friends eh?" Brunt grabs axel's collar and dragns him back to shore
Axel	"cough cough
Jack	"Yah, I guess!!"
Axel	"I'm okay..." "My labcoat is waterproof..."
Jack	"but not everything else..."
Saul	"Quality PPE, Axel!" Saul grins
Axel	"That's fine...Nickle probably has everything imporant" "Uhg...my glasses" "Where'd they go?"
Jack	"that is to be honest, true" "oh no"
Axel	"Uhhh...guys...I can't see" "I-I...I've never had this happen before"
Jack	"were they on your face before you fell in?"
Axel	"Of all things...I never lost my glasses" "Yes Jack!"
Saul	rolling 2d6+6( 3 + 1 )+6 = 10
Axel	"I could see all the way here!" Saul tries to spot the glasses
Jack	"alright, likely as not at the bottom of the lake now"
Saul	(was that a correct attention roll?) Axel is in a bit of a panic
Saul	it's a bleh-i'm-awul roll that's for sure
Jack	"Axel, listen to me. this isn't the end of the world" "please calm down"
Axel	"Jack...I've. Never. Lost. My. Glasses!" Saul walks up to axel and pats him on the arm
Jack	"it'll be okay! I'll fly to the nearest town, grab Cambria, and she can go look for them down there"
Saul	"It's alright Axel, you might have one less set of glasses, but ye still got us!" smiles
Axel	"That would help but..." "I'm still just..." Axel sits down
Jack	I was not prepared for actual distress
Axel	"Its fine...I can...I'll be fine"
Jack	this is uncomfortable
Saul	yyyyeh
Axel	I'll tone it back
Jack	no it's fine
Axel	"Lets see what we can find"
Saul	plus nobody's here to resolve my attention roll
Jack	it's making him more human
Axel	"You guys be my eyes, okay?"
Saul	if something's actually bad I at leaast will outright tell you
Jack	did god leave us
Saul	"That's what friends are for, Axel!"
Axel	he left with the glasses he was hiding in them all along its how he always knew
Jack	I meant druf btw
Axel	I know
Drufle (GM)	I'm still here!
Axel	probably making an encounter
Drufle (GM)	I mean, I didn't exactly have anything planned for this particular area.
Axel	"Thanks guys..." just give us a fight
Drufle (GM)	Actually, I have a better idea.
Axel	oh?
Drufle (GM)	Gimme a few minutes. I know what's gonna happen.
Jack	I hope this is what I think this is
Saul	ahahahahahaha... unrelated to game sorry Axel tries to stand up Saul helps Axel up a bit
Axel	"Uhh...Wolfram"
Saul	"Yeah, see? Good as new"
Axel	"Can you get his ball?"
Saul	i love that axel looks like orme but more human
Axel	"I can't tell...which is which"
Saul	you like that look huh?
Jack	"I had no idea your prescription was this strong, man"
Drufle (GM)	Out of curiosity, what do you think's gonna happen, Jack?
Axel	"I...always had tp sleep with my glasses"
Jack	I'm not gonna jinx it!
Drufle (GM)	Fair enough. Hey look!
Saul	battaaaal streak might join us finally?
Axel	"Jack, I know you don't like Wolfram, but can you please let him out?"
Saul	oh man
Jack	"oh right! sorry� AAAAHHHH
Axel	"Nickel seems...to not be here"
Saul	"Yo! what was that!" Jack pops Wolfram's ball
Wolfram	"Scraw!"
Jack	"AUGHHHH" Axel grabs onto Wolfram
Drufle (GM)	A massive creature surfaces to the top of the lake!
Axel	"What is it?"
Saul	"Wah! It's.. Kyogre!!!" "I read about it!"
Axel	"What are you...WHAT!!?"
Kyogre	"KYYYYYYYYAAAAAHHH"
Jack	"What. the. hell."
Axel	"In the lake!!?" Saul is completely shocked Wolfram tosses Axel up onto his back Kyogre glows with power, and glares at the tiny people on the lakeside.
Wolfram	"SCRAAAW!!"
Saul	"That thing nearly brought an entire continent to extinction... that's one hell of a specimen!"
Axel	"Water type, water type" "Nickel!" Kyogre dives back underwater, the area rippling around it. Nickel slowly floats up next to Axel Saul gets splashed to hell
Nickel	"Z-z-z-z-z-z"
Saul	"Wow..." Copper escapes the pokeball
Copper	-AHA!! MORE DRAGONS!!- "JINGLELiNG!!"
Saul	"I'm not bringing my buddies anywhere near that thing, sorry guys!" Jack: Attention
Check: 15
Axel	"Maybe we should go..."
Drufle (GM)	What's that on Kyogre's head?
Jack	"Look! on its face!"
Axel	damn it GM I can't see
Saul	why'd you have to lose your glasses lolol
Axel	"What is it? Describe it! Nickel, write it down"
Saul	rolling 2d6+6( 6 + 5 )+6 = 17
Axel	I did not plan for whalegod
Saul	I try to have a look too
Drufle (GM)	Well, that's quite an ironic thing to say, Axel. Look! Your glasses!
Axel	are you fucking serious Nickel: Attention
Check: 11
Saul	"Oh, hey, Axel, guess what, hahaha!"
Nickel	"Bzzz-z-z-t?" Saul laughs nervously
Drufle (GM)	The Kyogre must have ran into them on its way to the surface!
Saul	"Your GLASSES are on Kyogre's face!" Axel is filled with dread
Axel	"I uh...guess I'm not getting those bafck" Saul is no longer laughing
Jack	"let me try something!"
Saul	"Who knows, man.." gulp
Nickel	-Absolutely-
Saul	"Oh you go ahead."
Drufle (GM)	Kyogre does a majestic dolphin flip!
Axel	"J-jack, please be careful"
Saul	cue dolphin sounds
Axel	how are those glasses still on him?
Saul	he can't see without the m
Jack	"Right! Hannan, Amery, come on out!"
Drufle (GM)	Magnetics.
Axel	goddamit "Jack...what are you doing?"
Jack	one sec hashing it out with the GM
Axel	okay good luck
Saul	"Oh, man... Jack, please don't get us turned into just so much lake trash"
Drufle (GM)	He's trying something bizarre. Also, I really like this track.
Saul	it ain't bad!
Axel	well, if it works it works
Drufle (GM)	It's unfortunate that it isn't applicable most of the time. This is my "SUDDENLY LEGENDARY" track.
Axel	to be fair, it appears more often than it world normally in other games
Drufle (GM)	By the way, I made subfolders for Cici/Axel/Jack. I quite like them.
Axel	I c nice names
Drufle (GM)	Well, this will be a plan.
Axel	Cici has a good one the Hazmat crew
Jack	"alright, calculations complete!" Special Training
Check: 8 or not
Axel	oh no
Saul	sadface?
Drufle (GM)	Hm.
Jack	yaj
Axel	pray for mercy
Drufle (GM)	Well, that'd be 240 liters per second. Think that's good enough?
Jack	oh! I thought I'd failed
Drufle (GM)	You never fail on field moves.
Jack	cool!
Drufle (GM)	The check is only to determine amounts.
Axel	well that's good
Jack	"okay, give it a shot guys! freeze kyogre in place when it next breaches!"
Drufle (GM)	Kyogre surfaces again to splash more water at the interposing annoyances.
Axel	is he- yes he i
Saul	"WHAT OH GOD"
Axel	"Augh!"
Drufle (GM)	You sure are lucky this is freshwater!
Axel	yes cold freshwate Saul freezes(!) in terror
Drufle (GM)	The lake around Kyogre begins hardening, and the ice begins forming a bowl around the massive sea beast.
Axel	"Bah! I can see even less now!"
Drufle (GM)	It attempts to dive back down, and smacks its head into solid ice.
Jack	"Keept it up guys! it's working!"
Axel	ouch
Saul	"Jack's crew's makin an ice box around the big fish!"
Jack	"now, Go Rodan!"
Axel	"They are?"
Saul	"Yeah, and it looks like it's actually working!"
Jack	"Axel!! I need you to get Wolfram to follow Rodan if this goes sour!"
Axel	"Wha?"
Wolfram	"SCRAAAAW!" Wolfram takes off into the air
Jack	"just trust me!!!"
Axel	"Whaaaa!?" Axel is still on the metal bird
Jack	"Alright rodan, time for some precise flying! grab those glasses on kyogre's face!"
Drufle (GM)	Well, off he goes!
Rodan	"SKREEEEEEEONK"
Saul	skreeeeyoink amirite
Rodan	GM! does this need a check?
Axel	I get a bad feeling about this
Rodan	shouldn't really ask should I
Saul	i can't stop making puns, help, fear has made me into a compulsive joker
Drufle (GM)	Nah, I think you got this.
Rodan	aigh
Drufle (GM)	That Kyogre can't go anywhere!
Axel	yay
Rodan	Rodan yoinks the glasses!
Saul	man this track is Classic(TM)
Axel	this is the most epic glasses rescue ever seriously the music makes it better Rodan flies back to shore with them in tow
Saul	who's got teh master ball? lol Wolfram lands down next to Rodan
Jack	"excellent work, team!"
Wolfram	we have none, unfortunately
Drufle (GM)	Oh, you couldn't catch Kyogre even if I allowed you to. Jack present Axel his glasses
Drufle (GM)	Don't have the Legendary Training Boon!
Jack	slightly battered
Saul	something to look forward to
Axel	"Oh...OH!!"
Drufle (GM)	Kyogre is looking pretty pissed! Axel puts his glasses on
Jack	let's get out of here!!
Drufle (GM)	Either let it go or get away!
Jack	" "
Axel	-They're a bit cracked, but he doesn't care- "I can see!!!" "Thank you!!"
Saul	"er, let's bounce huh?"
Jack	"if you can see you can run!"
Saul	bye scary fish Wolfram runs off with Axel on his back
Jack	safe
Wolfram	WE OUT
Jack	now I a literally about to shit myself irl may I be excused
Drufle (GM)	Shoo!
Wolfram	Druf
Drufle (GM)	Yes?
Wolfram	need. battle I hunger for war
Saul	i just plain hunger
Drufle (GM)	I know, I know. How're you doing, Saul? Got time for a bit more?
Saul	yeah i'm fine
Axel	we've been at this for...2 hours now?
Drufle (GM)	About, yes.
Saul	ish
Axel	halfway point roughly
Drufle (GM)	But as it is a later session, we might cut it short for Mopp and Sol's sake.
Axel	reasonable
Drufle (GM)	Well if you want a battle, you're gonna have to do some RPing while I get it set up.
Saul	yeah that poor boy was alread dozing 'fore we even starte started* in stark contrast to me, who is wide awake
Drufle (GM)	I'll reuse some Pokemon so I don't have to get new pogs, but I still need to set up the encounter so do some talking!
Axel	start setting up an encounter I guess? "Well uh...would you believe me if I said that was a normal day?"
Drufle (GM)	I'll set up a 2v2 for Axel and Saul.
Saul	"Man, not in a million years! I love it! Haha"
Axel	cool beans "Well...this is normal" "all those legendaries in those notes were met in about...8 days"
Saul	"You're fu- oh sorry you're kidding me!"
Axel	"I still remember the Heatran tunnels"
Saul	remembered the tvpg aa bit late ;;)
Drufle (GM)	Saul is self-aware, send help.
Axel	"Its not really a secret, but Galens has had these pokemon show up all over the place" "Copper had to fight a Kyerum"
Saul	"I don't even KNOW that one!"
Axel	"It...boosted her confidence quite a bit" "Giant ice dragon. God of sub-zero tempuratures, basically" "She drove it off and will not let us forget"
Saul	"Awesome..." eyes shine with glee
Copper	-COPPER VON KLEFKI!!!-
Jack	"augh, sorry. all the stress caught up to me now"
Drufle (GM)	Look! Tiny dudes! Copper jangles about as loud as she can
Axel	"Like so..."
Jack	"a spheal all the way inland. I'm not surprised anymore"
Saul	rolling 2d6+6( 6 + 6 )+6 = 18 do I notice them oh yes i do
Axel	"After what just happened...yeah..."
Drufle (GM)	That is not a question, good sir.
Saul	"Oh hey look over there!"
Axel	nicely done Saul
Jack	you not nly ntoice them, but learn their entire history their past and their future
Axel	"Umm, right, I guess its battle time" "Water types...both of them"
Jack	"oh good I need a de-stressor"
Saul	666 ahahahahaahahha
Axel	"Uh...Nickel?" Nickel snaps to attention and moves forward
Drufle (GM)	The most evil of perceptions.
Saul	the shadow is already over me the void empowers me
Drufle (GM)	Saul! Send someone out! Nickel revs up his magnets, but shorts out
Saul	me? I already fought :X oh right 2v2 uh
Drufle (GM)	Oh, or Jack.
Saul	tepig no
Drufle (GM)	Either/or.

Saul	I use sunny day pls Axel is giving commands from atop Wolfram
Axel	I am the calvery
Jack	"this is getting out of hand... how in the world does a Kyogre manage to get into a mountain lake?" "is someone putting them there?"
Axel	"I have no idea, Jack"
Saul	"Hope you guys are ready for a drought.. Bakin, bake us a sunny day!"
Axel	"But other legendaries are appearing out of nowhere"
Saul	how do i rol lfor that it's not a field move in-battle right?
Drufle (GM)	You don't roll. It just happens!
Axel	I think its auto
Saul	oh cool
Axel	sunny day though, not bad
Saul	i can't supprot you so i might as well support me
Jack	I hope you wanted to set all this temperature-sensitive heather on fire :P
Axel	thankfully I'm on top of a bird Drufle (GM): Carvanha used Dive! Target Bakin Roll 5 2 2 + 6 AC 13 Damage 3
Saul	it's a well known pokeworld fact that battles never ever collaterally damage anything
Axel	I can just fly away
Drufle (GM)	SPLASH
Axel	Oh that's a dive
Drufle (GM)	Dive isn't actually dive in this game.
Jack	iisn't that a charge move
Drufle (GM)	It's just a physical water move.
Axel	does that just do damage?
Jack	oh ok
Axel	well alright then
Saul	who'd he attack? because if it's me, advantage
Axel	YOU 3 damage to you
Saul	yeap how nice
Axel	Target = Bakin
Saul	"Hang in there, Bakin!" oh i didn't see that durp Drufle (GM): Spheal used Water Pulse! Target Nickle Roll 5 1 3 + 6 AC 16 Damage 2
Axel	no
Drufle (GM)	Not quite a splash.
Axel	you pulse nobody
Drufle (GM)	Not too far off, though.
Nickel	??? 8+6 = 14
Drufle (GM)	Nickel!
Nickel	right then
Drufle (GM)	Yeah,14 isn't far from 16.
Nickel	"Z-z-z-z-z" Nickel glares at the Spheal Nickel: Nickel used Thundershock! Target Spheal Roll 4 3 6 + 6 AC 14 Damage 4
Saul	"Be gentle, Nick! " or not wow
Nickel	get rekt nub
Drufle (GM)	A zap!
Saul	he wasn't instructing him btw saul's just teasing the opposition Nickel sputters before releasing an erratic, powerful jolt of energy
Saul	because battles are his thing
Nickel	"Zzzzzzrrrraaaat"
Drufle (GM)	Bakin!
Saul	"Alright, Bakin, let's finish this" aand ima thinkin one mo i think i better spa
Drufle (GM)	Wise. His defense is very good!
Nickel	strange for a carv
Saul	"Bakin! Flambe the dude!" (flamethrower)
Nickel	what does Sunny Day do again?
Drufle (GM)	Advantage to Fire attacks.
Nickel	oh okay
Drufle (GM)	+2 Speed to Grass types.
Nickel	no damage boost?
Saul	ok so this one is spa mine is 7 mod?
Drufle (GM)	No damage boost, no.
Saul	2?
Drufle (GM)	-1.
Saul	oh
Nickel	resist
Saul	thinking in wrong game terms here
Drufle (GM)	The damage mod is -1 because Water resists Fire. Saul: Bakin used Ember! Target Carvanha Roll 2 3 2 + 7 AC 14 Damage 1 ://
Drufle (GM)	Not quite!
Nickel	oh dear
Saul	saaaadface Bakin tries to use flamethrower but sputters out like some burnt out lighter
Bakin	"Squeek..." Drufle (GM): Carvanha used Surf! Target Nickle Roll 1 3 1 + 4 AC 14 Damage 2 Carvanha used Surf! Target Bakin Roll 6 4 1 + 4 AC 14 Damage 3 Wow, this poor fish.
Sol	why me Nickel casually moves to the side
Drufle (GM)	Well, he took out Bakin at least.
Nickel	"Zzzzzzrrrrr..."
Sol	switch in Hatcha I guess not tha this battle is long to last Nickel: Nickel used Thunderbolt! Target Carvanha Roll 5 4 5 + 6 AC 14 Damage 3
Sol	"Don't worry Hatcha, we're in good hands!"
Drufle (GM)	And there she blows! Nickel rises up and sends a bolt of lightning down onto the tiny pitiful fishy
Drufle (GM)	Carvanha is gonna go sit in the pond over there.
Sol	"Nice going Axel!" Sol preps an up high for axel
Nickel	"Z-z-z-z-z-z..." Sol, be Saul
Sol	woooops
Saul	didn't notice it change Nickel falls to the ground
Drufle (GM)	Poor Streak, all these avatars he's gonna have to fix.
Jack	fix?
Saul	egad i'm sorry streak
Drufle (GM)	Hey Jack, did you want that Spheal?
Axel	"Nice work to Nickel, really. He does most of the work here..." "Uh...Nickel?"
Jack	yes i did
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he has to swap them over to the actual avatars. If you forget to impersonate.
(From Axel)	evolve pls?
Jack	capt is 29 right
Saul	i know i didn't forget
Jack	oh ok
Saul	i tabbed at some point and didn't notice the change
(To Axel)	Just one moment.
Saul	why'd i have ot pick saul
Axel	:D
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, 29.
Saul	stupid joke cost me dearly
Jack	saulshine
Drufle (GM)	It's super easy. Yank him up!
Axel	Super Sualshine 64
Saul	Sualshine giggle giggle
Axel	hey, Carv is a dark type you want?
Saul	water type not my cuppa tea
Axel	Super Mario Saulshine
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that'd be hard to use. Jack spends his last great ball on the spheal
Drufle (GM)	Instant catch! Another addition to the absurdly long list of Jack's Pokemon.
Axel	"Uh guys? Nickel isn't moving" yeah, Jack has a lot
Jack	"finally, a new ice-type!"
Saul	nickel isn't moving? Axel hops off Wolfram
Jack	"huh? out of betteries?"
Saul	can i use my ace trainerism to figure out why? :P Axel picks up Nickel
Drufle (GM)	That would be... Aptitude? I guess?
Saul	oh I can? I was joking axel's the scientist
Drufle (GM)	Indeed.
(From Axel)	he wouldn't be able to figure it out, I don't think. Special case due to Nickel's nature
(To Axel)	I know, it's worth a try though.
Axel	its worth a shot really
Saul	"They don't run on batteries.." my aptitude IS pretty good 2d6 + apt?
Axel	I think so
Saul	rolling 2d6+7( 5 + 4 )+7 = 16 bam oop, streak's gone, do we need to stop?
Drufle (GM)	He was just a spectator. He's fine.
Axel	Streak was just watching
Saul	yeah but he's logging this right
Axel	he can use our chat log
Drufle (GM)	No, that's after the fact.
Axel	Roll20 saves it
Saul	oh alright cool so where was i? oh yeah, BAM
Drufle (GM)	Saul, you see something... unusual about this Magnemite. Something that is going to be apparent very soon.
Saul	i think i knoooow.. hahaha
Axel	"Woah...WOAH"
Jack	"ohh!" Saul whoops
Saul	"That's awesome, man!" Saul pats Axel on the bac Nickel glows a bright white. and after the sound of scraping metal, he emerges as a magneton
Jack	"oh wow, big screws"
Axel	"Wah?"
Nickel	"Zzzzzrrreeeettt???" "Vvzzzrrre"
Drufle (GM)	By the way, you should have access to Spheal now, JAck.
Saul	doesn't some 'dex entry mention that agnetons are connected magnemites
Jack	thanks
Saul	where are the other 2 magnemites coing from never understood that
Drufle (GM)	MAGIC

Nickel	"Bzzzzvvvt?"
Jack	this addresses it, look the other two bodies don't have eyes just screws
Nickel	well I'm level 5 now
Drufle (GM)	Wow, really?
Saul	"Oh, you're so handsome now, Nickel! Can I have a look?" (directed at both axel and nickel)
Nickel	"Bzzzrrrvvt?"
Jack	nickel isn't even the topmost one, bahahah
Nickel	-Sure?-
Drufle (GM)	Oh, you guys get the 1 exp from this battle by the way. Nickel flexes his magnets...which look more land hands
Drufle (GM)	By you guys I mean Saul and Axel.
Saul	saul shoul've been a pokefan really
Nickel	-I've got...three prongs?-
Saul	but i rolled ace or some such Nickel taps the other body
Nickel	"Zzzt?"
Drufle (GM)	Oh and Jack, make an attention check for loot. Jack: Attention

Drufle (GM)	And then the aptitude check. Jack: Aptitude

Saul	slightly less woot?
Jack	rolling 4d6( 4 + 5 + 5 + 3 ) = 17
Nickel	my attack is now 6
Saul	oh wow that's not bad
Nickel	Jack is good at this
Saul	not sure if anything will ever beat my 666 roll other than another [6+6] + 6 roll
Nickel	oh hey, homeruled + Hp, right 5 HP
Jack	yah
Saul	or a 3d6 that does it hat's homeruled? what*

Nickel	nah, we made it so that evolving gives HP
Saul	i know hat k eans
Nickel	not just starters
Saul	what*
Jack	yes that is the case now
Saul	my keyboard needs a blast of air or something
Drufle (GM)	You get a crapton of money from random loot drops. Especially when you're as good at it as Jack is.
Nickel	right, how do we split the loots?
Drufle (GM)	That's a couple more additions to the ranch now. Oh nuts, I just remembered.
Jack	I'm really a gold digger rather than a fossil digger!
Drufle (GM)	We're going to have to get a key stone for Saul at some point.
Jack	he'll have to go himself
Drufle (GM)	Possibly, yeah.
Jack	I cannot go again
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, you should avoid Tormalia.
Nickel	right so Saul is new
Drufle (GM)	Should we hand most of the material goods to him?
Nickel	he should get tiebreaks
Drufle (GM)	Just so he has stuff to work with?
Saul	uh well
Jack	let me divvy it up
Saul	i won't be good at managing this stuff without observing what you guys do with it first is there no option for saul to let his team mates handle the loot?
Nickel	I'm splitting it this is usually cicis job
Saul	he's just here for the experience and pokemon anyway
Drufle (GM)	Well good. Because you are going to be getting a lot of that. I think that'll be it for tonight, anyway.
Jack	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Next time we'll be arriving at the desert village of Citrina.

?Jack	1 ether, 2 Full Heals, 1 Great Ball, 4k Pokeyen? loot is split as so mark it down
