Drufle (GM)	Session 15, right.
Axel	Mopp: he has mentioned having to cook, I think
Moppy	ahh
Drufle (GM)	It is currently the afternoon. About 3 pm or so.
Axel	last session was 14.5
Saul	house doesn't keep itself clean mopp i gotta hoover a room and do some dishes
Drufle (GM)	We have, what, 4 badges now on Axel?
Moppy	when is the future when it will be, huh? when will good roombas happen?!
Axel	uhhh, I'm going to say yes
Saul	soon i hope
Drufle (GM)	Normal, Ice, Dark, Ground.
Axel	its only going to get harder
Drufle (GM)	Potentially.
Axel	actually ground might be the hardest for me to deal with regardless glad this wasn't gym 7
Drufle (GM)	It could've been. There's no real gym order.
Axel	I have means of fighting fire fighting...uhhh
Drufle (GM)	Speaking of which, where are we off to next? New gyms?
Axel	I do want to hang by the desert evos and whatnot
Cici	did we go beat up the evil goons yet did that happen
Moppy	somewhere nice for Cici to do things in nop they arent even evil
Axel	cici needs more mons to dex
Moppy	drufle insists on it
Axel	clearly more backlog
Drufle (GM)	You could go west and check out the Mythseekers HQ if you want.
Axel	oh they're right here? cool beans
Drufle (GM)	No, they're west.
Axel	probably can't bring Jack where are we, 20?
Drufle (GM)	I believe I mentioned that their HQ is in 5.
Axel	wait that's a 10
Drufle (GM)	There isn't even a 20 on this map.
Cici	location 40000
Drufle (GM)	You're in 10, yes.
Cici	deep space
Drufle (GM)	Citrina Village.
Axel	that is a long walk and a long fly long everything
Drufle (GM)	I would say you could go east, but none of you guys have Surf.
Axel	where's an abra when you need one
Drufle (GM)	If you want to head to the eastern gyms you're gonna have to fly. Or take the incredibly long road back through the mountains.
Axel	fly might be better but that depends what we want to do I'm pretty sure it hasn't been 3 days since Nickel evolved
Drufle (GM)	My personal recommendation would be a nice flight to the east. It has not, no.
Axel	darn I'll have to fly back here later then
Drufle (GM)	Indeed.
Axel	what say the others?
Cici	shrug emoticon
Drufle (GM)	So we could go south into the Pearlescent Wastes and catch lots of wacky things.
Axel	I have been eating up enough screenspace
Cici	oooh the what now
Axel	the wastes of pearls
Drufle (GM)	That'd be C, just south of you.
Moppy	why does google sheets hate loading now yes lets go there
Cici	yea i still havent used mega leafeon so thats gotta happen !!
Axel	I'm up for that
Drufle (GM)	Righto! South it is. Just a second, please.
Moppy	aw man I actually have 0 xp
Axel	what are the odds?
Moppy	won't be getting water focus any time soon
Axel	that's what, 5 battles? at most? unless we steamroll everything
Moppy	if I use Bluejohn its three :P
Axel	and you ARE in the lead
Cici	a desert huh
Axel	welcome to cactuses
Cici	maybe i should bring cacnea
Drufle (GM)	Impersonate already, Jack!
Axel	Ya'll don't know Jack :P
Drufle (GM)	I actually did prepare an encounter last week. So I've got one all ready and what not.
Axel	cool
Nickel	Oh right, Cic hasn't seen Nickel the Magneton, has she?
Drufle (GM)	So the party heads south back into the desert, aiming for the famous Pearlescent Wastes. I hope you guys have, like, water or something.
Nickel	-I'm always prepared- -Its my job-
Cici	powerful
Drufle (GM)	Oh also Cici, look at this!
Cici	did he
Jack	he did
Cici	did he kill the other two magnemites are they dead thats fucked up
Drufle (GM)	I think so, yeah. He's a bad dude.
Nickel	-If you want to find out, you'll have to ask-
Cici	there are things i dont want answers to also mega glaceon !
Nickel	-But no, I didn't kill these-
Cici	whats it like :O
Drufle (GM)	Ice/Rock with Inversion.
Nickel	its a glaceon with a jacket
Jack	not _that_ great
Cici	glaceon... with a COAT
Drufle (GM)	Aka kind of ridiculous.
Jack	gotta draw the whole thing
Nickel	fluffy jacket!
Cici	inversion ?
Jack	also soz I dont have a mega leafy for u :(
Drufle (GM)	Remember inverted battles?
Nickel	inverts type matchups
Cici	thats what i thought dang
Nickel	defensively I think
Drufle (GM)	It's just as silly as you think it is.
Cici	gets rid of that quad fighting weakness huh hehe
Nickel	resists the hell out of fighting
Drufle (GM)	And Steel!
Cici	weakness to normal type though... ouch
Jack	somehow
Drufle (GM)	Yeah...
Nickel	weak to everydayman officework is killer for glace
Cici	its a cool idea tho
Drufle (GM)	But what's this! Off in the distance!
Cici	using the fact taht ice resists nothing as a strength instead of a weakness Nickel is writing notes, using his now-three digited hands :O!!
Nickel	"Vrrzzzt?"
Drufle (GM)	A pile of buddies hanging around a cactus.
Jack	"oh my, lots of desert creatures"
Axel	well, I know what I want out of this group
Jack	"and a vulpix, for some reason!"
Axel	"Maybe a...sand vulpix"
Cici	foxes live in the desert sometimes although i would expect a fennekin :u
Drufle (GM)	A Drilbur is digging around to get into the cooler ground, while an Ekans and Skorupi are munching on the cactus.
Cici	ehehee
Axel	"They're related to fenekin, right?"
Jack	I was JUST ABOUT to do that Axel :T
Drufle (GM)	I just roll the dice, man.
Cici	ahaha thats two for me then eh :>.
Jack	hyes one for saul
Drufle (GM)	Accidentally, but yes.
Jack	and I dunnno who wants the drilbur
Axel	I do steel type potential
Jack	excellent
Axel	its only Logicall
Drufle (GM)	You guys have so many Pokemon that I'm not even bothering trying to pick out Pokemon you'll like or use.
Cici	"I'll handle the Drilbur! Go, Harley!"
Drufle (GM)	I'm leaving it entirely up to chance at this point. Cici tosses out her Cacnea
Drufle (GM)	Harley, huh.
Axel	"Right then...uhh...Rochelle!"
Cici	i didnt like that character but it was a good name for a cacturne Rochelle topples out of her ball on her own
Drufle (GM)	What! Rude!
Cici	:u
Drufle (GM)	I am frowning furiously right now. Jack, you want to send anyone out?
Jack	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Aw, Cacnea doesn't evolve until level 5. So close.
Jack	I cant evolve yet can I
Rochelle	so close, yet so far away
Jack	it's still the same day
Drufle (GM)	Evolve who?
Jack	moraine
Drufle (GM)	She didn't evolve into a Graveler yet, did she?
Jack	ohh
Rochelle	Rochelle has been waiting to evolve for a while
Jack	so when you say "you can't evolve again"
Rochelle	but she's patient
Cici	its one per pokemon per day not just one per trainer
Jack	rught
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you can have lots of Pokemon evolve at once. Just not the same one multiple times.
Jack	ahah! all right then
Rochelle	cannot skip stages
Jack	"Go Moraine!"
Rochelle	these ain't zubats
Cici	is saul uh is he fighting nickel
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Jack	lets say yes
Rochelle	I would hope not
Cici	with his fists powerful
Jack	he's an ace trainer, underestimate not
Nickel	the fact that I can actually punch things doesn't help the situation
Drufle (GM)	Oh boy, a whopping 5 speed. rolling 2d6 ( 1 + 3 ) = 4
Cici	ive got 5 speed
Axel	BUT OF COURSE rolling 2d6 ( 3 + 4 ) = 7
Drufle (GM)	The only speed anyone ever seems to have.
Axel	perfectly middling
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6( 1 + 6 ) = 7
Cici	hehe
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6( 2 + 2 ) = 4 Butts! This is not what I wanted!
Axel	too many ties!
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6( 2 + 4 ) = 6 Fight me, Axel.
Axel	rolling 2d6( 2 + 4 ) = 6 sure
Drufle (GM)	Oh come on.
Axel	why the hell not
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6( 4 + 1 ) = 5
Axel	rolling 2d6( 4 + 3 ) = 7
Jack	flip a damn coin
Axel	finally
Drufle (GM)	There we go. Jack, do you still have 4 speed?
Jack	no I have 5 too
Drufle (GM)	Roll, then. Cici is slow so she at least goes last.
Axel	unless you roll a one
Jack	rolling 2d6( 3 + 6 ) = 9
Axel	then you go last no matter what
Drufle (GM)	Wow.
Jack	ee!
Cici	i have 5 speed
Axel	Jack is going fast
Cici	not 4
Drufle (GM)	Oh come on, really?
Axel	oh my gooood
Cici	i raised it on my last level yea lmao
Drufle (GM)	Roll, then.
Cici	rolling 2d6( 2 + 6 ) = 8
Axel	roll them dice
Drufle (GM)	(note to self: give wild pokemon more speed) Ok, so.
Jack	bweheheheheh
Drufle (GM)	Moraine, Harley, Rochelle, Skorupi, Vulpix, Drilbur. Go ahead Jack!
Axel	sounds like a plan Moraine is raring to go
Axel	punch those fools
Drufle (GM)	Please don't immediately die. You have all kinds of type advantages here.
Jack	I shall try
Axel	the Skrop is still poison bug right? skorp
Jack	"ok Moraine, first problem first! Avalanche on the Drilbur!"
Cici	skrop hammertime
Axel	rip drillbir
Jack	...did we decide avalanche was special or physical
Drufle (GM)	Man, always with that damn avalanche.
Cici	o
Axel	physical
Cici	i was gonna take the drilbur
Drufle (GM)	Physical.
Jack	ok
Cici	because i cant really do much to the other guys eheh
Jack	you can take it when I miss :v
Axel	ice blocks keep falling on my head~
Cici	:U
Drufle (GM)	:VUVUVUV Jack: Moraine used Avalanche! Target Drilbur Roll 6 2 3 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4
Cici	vuv
Axel	he ain't missin
Cici	uvu
Drufle (GM)	So, about that miss.
Axel	wow these guys have terrible defense
Drufle (GM)	You kinda didn't.
Jack	good!
Axel	look at that tiny AC
Drufle (GM)	Again, they're wild Pokemon!
Axel	its so cute Moraine generates snow out of nowhere and kills a mole
Drufle (GM)	You should never expect them to be very good because I never give them points.
Axel	"Where DOES the ice come from?"
Drufle (GM)	Cici! You're up.
Cici	ok umm
Jack	"she's just that COOL, Ax!"
Axel	all is poison
Cici	"Harley! Leech Seed on that Ekans!"
Axel	good luck "..." "I can't even be mad...that was good" Cici: Harley used Leech Seed! Target Ekans Roll 6 2 4 + 5 AC 13 Damage 0
Jack	goot hit
Cici	blamo so that heals me for 1 hp every round and also will let me use nve moves for normal damage
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, leech seed.
Axel	:D
Drufle (GM)	I forgot about how good that one is.
Axel	very nice
Drufle (GM)	Axel!
Cici	very useful for this fight against 3 pokemon who resist every type attack i have lmao
Jack	you saw them eat that cactus
Cici	i could use poison moves on the vulpix but ! harley cant use poison moves until evolution
Axel	"Okay Rochelle, drop some rocks onto that Skorupi!"
Jack	Harley is in grave danger
Cici	theyre fuckin pissed
Axel	just checking, skorp is bug, right?
Jack	yes!
Cici	yea
Drufle (GM)	Bug/Poison.
Jack	not neutral to rocks neutral to ground, annoyingly Axel: Rochelle used Rock Tomb! Target Skorupi Roll 6 3 6 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4 rip bug
Jack	OOF
Drufle (GM)	Yikes.

Drufle (GM)	Guys this is so unnecessary.
Cici	skorupi goes into the fucking stratosphere Rochelle stomps around and drops ROCKS FROM THE SKY
Drufle (GM)	These poor little Pokemon!
Jack	we a strong now!
Drufle (GM)	Well, Skorupi would've gone but he's on another planet now.
Rochelle	its cathartic
Drufle (GM)	Vulpix!
Rochelle	we needed this after that gym Moraine moves to high-five Rochelle but realises her mistake Drufle (GM): Vulpix used Fire Fang! Target Harley Roll 6 2 4 + 5 AC 15 Damage 3
Cici	ow rude
Drufle (GM)	Holy shit I actually hit. Rochelle tries to lift her foot and high-five Rochelle then rolls over
Cici	welp harleys fucking dead
Jack	so cute
Rochelle	she tries
Drufle (GM)	That was entirely unexpected. I even used her bad attack stat!
Cici	if i swap in another pokemon do they get the leech seed benefits
Jack	"Aw, sorry Cici! I shoulda gone for the vulpix"
Rochelle	damn, that was one hell of a fire fang
Cici	"Ouch!"
Drufle (GM)	Uhhhhh, I think we decided yes?
Cici	"Come back, Harley!"
Rochelle	I mean, there was still a poison and a bug/poison on the field like...what didn't have supereffective on her?
Drufle (GM)	Yes for if you get knocked out, no if they do. Cici tosses out Clara
Drufle (GM)	Oh no, the BUG Jack tosses Cici a revive

Cici	claras my starter
Jack	clara has HP man
Cici	shes also got spdef focus shes fine Rochelle just sort of lays there. She's a rock, what's poison going to do?
Drufle (GM)	So, Moraine!

Rochelle	ah, a perfect target then but that ekans though
Jack	"aim for that fox... and Stone Edge!"
Cici	ahh ok
Rochelle	bringing out the big guns, eh?
Cici	i think clara's gonna finish off that ekans >.> she uh im a little worried for its safety
Drufle (GM)	Come at me scrub!
Rochelle	well, its your catch your problem Jack: Moraine used Stone Edge! Target Vulpix Roll 4 5 4 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4
Drufle (GM)	Oh, well. Sharp rocks to the face, never a good sign.
Rochelle	I think that's good?
Jack	oh! it hits even woth the -1
Rochelle	poor vulpix Rochelle continues to lay there.
Drufle (GM)	Well, uh, Clara? Moraine STABS the vulpix between the eyes
Drufle (GM)	(these poor wild pokemon im so sorry guys)
Moraine	so shameful
Cici	"Oh, oh jeez..."
Rochelle	poor little guys Cici: Clara used Bug Bite! Target Ekans Roll 1 2 6 + 5 AC 13 Damage 2 Drufle (GM) pets the skorupi, currently on neptune
Cici	oh that poor thing
Drufle (GM)	All these hits!
Cici	shes bitten its tail
Jack	"I think I'm getting a bit too violent..>"
Axel	the fact that it hits is hilarious
Cici	"Clara, please calm down..."
Axel	"Moraine...uh..." "Wow..."
Cici	someone please finish it off
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle!
Cici	put it out of its misery
Drufle (GM)	One more, with vigor. Rochelle: Rochelle used Rock Tomb! Target Ekans Roll 2 4 4 + 6 AC 13 Damage 2 Moraine rolls her shoulder menacingly
Drufle (GM)	Or not. That's cool too. Oh, wait. Rochelle wiggles a little, and a single rock falls down onto his head
Drufle (GM)	My maths are bad. Or rather my Pokemons. I didn't think Rochelle was a Rock type there for a second.
Moraine	:v
Rochelle	Its not like my name is DERIVED from the word rock Moraine fistbumps everyone in victory Clara shrieks triumphantly from atop the collapsed Ekans Rochelle gets up and attempts a fistbump
Cici	"O-oh my! Clara!"
Rochelle	the feet, they are too small! Clara starts fucking glowing and shit it is absolutely wild and my GOD is she screaming
Jack	"she's a little tyro, isn't she?"
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, evolutions. Quick! To bulbapedia! Rochelle inches over the Clara and gets down low to watch
Jack	the clara
Rochelle	to clara sorrz
Cici	the clara
Rochelle	The one and only
Cici	so a second stage adds what +1 max hp? is that what we decided
Rochelle	I think so, yes Moraine folds her arms in satisfaction
Cici	and does that still apply to the starter or just the sidekick pokemon
Rochelle	ummm
Jack	it applies to al
Rochelle	all I know is that I applied it to Nickel
Drufle (GM)	All Pokemon.
Cici	6 max hp then nice
Rochelle	sweet tank 2 tank harder right, 2 EXP yes?
Cici	cici is now making this face at all times D:<
Jack	the EVO theme!!!
Cici	her lil bug teeth bared
Rochelle	adorbs
Cici	er clara is
Drufle (GM)	Tadaaaaaa.
Cici	cici is horrified by all this god
Drufle (GM)	And 2 exp, yes.
Cici	look at the apathy in those eyes the dread
Drufle (GM)	I'll give Cici 4 to try and move up a bit.
Cici	clara is a nihilist now
Jack	the soullessness
Rochelle	its a phase she'll grow out of it
Drufle (GM)	Well, she was always pretty snarky.
Axel	"Oh wow, congrats, Clara"
Drufle (GM)	Oh, I need to evolve Moraine too.
Cici	"Clara? A...are you okay?"
Nickel	"Bzzztrrrrt"
Clara	>:I Nickel pokes Clara
Jack	"excellent... sort of?"
Nickel	-testing-
Cici	"Wonderful... she's now perpetually grouchy." Cici sighs
Cici	"Get back in the Pokeball before you kill that poor Ekans." Axel is blinded by Moraine's evolution Moraine FLASHES into being!
Axel	"Gah! Too close!"
Jack	"that's what I was waiting for!"
Drufle (GM)	I like how everyone is gushing over the new Pokemon, while meanwhile there's just a pile of unconscious bodies over by that cactus.
Cici	"Oh, how lovely!" Cici gently pats Moraine's lovely rocky head Moraine misses floating, but enjoys being more rugged
Drufle (GM)	Don't worry, those guys are totally fine. Nickel retrieves Axel's item pouch and moves over to the wild mons
Moraine	"Graaa!"
Cici	"Stone composition appears much more solid than your standard Graveler... fascinating!"
Jack	"Aw, I didn't think she liked petting"
Nickel	right, what is Drill's catchrate?
Jack	"guess I was wrong!"
Cici	"O-oh!" "Oh no... these poor Pokemon."
Jack	"we kinda went to town on them, didn't we?" Nickel spins a pokeball on his finger like a goddamn basketball
Cici	"We can't just leave them here..."
Drufle (GM)	30 for Vulpix, 33 for Skorupi, 29 for Ekans, 33 for Drilbur.
Nickel	33 for drillbur hmmm I ned greatboll I don't think a pokeball is garenteed
Drufle (GM)	Nope.
Nickel	20+2+7 min Cici tosses Pokeballs at the Skorupi and Ekans
Cici	for ekans rolling 2d6 + 28 ( 4 + 3 )+28 = 35 for skorupi
Nickel	I am tempted to just use a pokeball
Cici	rolling 2d6 + 28( 1 + 4 )+28 = 33
Drufle (GM)	Oof, wow.
Cici	close ' 3'
Drufle (GM)	... wait, what? Do you actually have 8 aptitude?
Cici	yes
Nickel	rolling 2d6 + 27( 6 + 5 )+27 = 38 hoo boy
Drufle (GM)	Holy shit.
Nickel	gimme dat drill
Jack	CRITICAL CAPTURE Nickel tosses the ball onto Drillbur
Cici	my 3 skill points have gone into 1 speed and 2 aptitude
Drufle (GM)	Someone catch that Vulpix for Saul. Jack tosses an ultra at the vulpix
Cici	he can catch it himself hes RIGHT THERE
Jack	' 3'
Cici	hes been punching a cactus this whole time or something who knows what that guys deal is ???
Jack	you don't for sure, you've never talked to him :P
Nickel	right, I need that drillbur
Drufle (GM)	A good point.
Nickel	what highstats do they get?
Cici	hehe i talked to him ONCE for like 5 minutes
Drufle (GM)	ATK and SPE Cici and Saul have just been kinda Lazily glancing at each other every few minutes.
Nickel	I don't think I need more ATK mons
Drufle (GM)	"Who even IS that person"
Cici	:B
Drufle (GM)	Let's see... Saul can use a Pokeball and have a near-perfect chance of success. He'd only fail on snake eyes.
Jack	no Druf I literally just did that for him
Drufle (GM)	Oh, you did?
Nickel	tossed an ultra, I think
Jack	I took the ultra ball out of my inventory and everything 5 left now
Drufle (GM)	Oh! I didn't see that line. Right, you sure did.
Jack	went by too quick
Drufle (GM)	Well while I change permissions, who wants to make the customary Attention check?
Axel	"Oh uh...it seems like Nickel got the Drillbur"
Jack	anyone else want to try or am I the go-tp guy
Axel	mine (Nickel's) is 5
Cici	my attention is pretty bad 4 :u
Jack	ok then its me with 6
Axel	my Apt is 7 I'm thinking Cici's is 8 Jack: Attention
Check: 14
Axel	that's about all the stat's we've used
Jack	ding ding ding
Drufle (GM)	Righto. One sec.
Jack	I would like a Desert Exeggutor
Drufle (GM)	Ah.
Jack	that was just a pokey made of exegg heads
Drufle (GM)	Well, I guess you might get that, considering we're apparently going to a sanctuary.
Jack	well I didn't mean in THIS game
Cici	nice...!!
Drufle (GM)	Too bad!
Jack	I have no use for them!
Axel	well alright then
Cici	ill take an exeggutor
Drufle (GM)	You rolled a 14, you get a medium sanctuary!
Jack	yay
Axel	they come in sizes?
Cici	what would a large one enail
Axel	woah
Cici	entail
Jack	"look! there's a tunnel inside this cactus"
Axel	look at this place
Cici	heheehe
Drufle (GM)	The size just says how many kinds there are.
Jack	now THIS is a pearlescent waste
Axel	"A what where?"
Drufle (GM)	A medium sanctuary gives 4 species.
Cici	i figured we'd find an oasis or somethin
Axel	oh, I can search for apricorns as well then "Wow...its all...white" Jack: Aptitude
Check: 10
Axel	D:
Drufle (GM)	Wow, nice.
Jack	"yeah I... don't know why its white."
Axel	well, we're finally failing a dowsing machine check only took us 15 sessions
Drufle (GM)	So, any specific requests? As a sanctuary, I'm allowed to give you guys whatever you want, provided it fits the climate.
Jack	that wasn't it btw
Axel	uhh
Cici	hm for desert pokemon? uhhh
Jack	I was just rolling to see if I knew why the sand was white
Axel	I'm still filling in Drillbur's entry
Jack	hm! let me have a gander
Drufle (GM)	I am... potentially willing to give out evolved species.
Axel	so uh...ummm
Cici	nothing on my wishlist would be here so ill say surprise me !
Drufle (GM)	Righto.
Axel	I'll go with Cici on that, surprises
Cici	so what are we going with, we found an oasis? the sand gets especially white and fine and soft as we approach a calm little lake in the middle of the desert....... its Nice
Drufle (GM)	You've wandered further into the Wastes, eventually coming upon a a small lake, blindingly bright with the clearest blue water.
Cici	theres Plant's
Jack	give me a... lunatone
Cici	like this lovely dead tree poking me in the face
Drufle (GM)	Ah, a Lunatone. Righto!
Axel	"This place is so strange"
Cici	and then a meteor hits the fucking lake
Drufle (GM)	So a random for Cici and Axel, and one Lunatone for ol' Jack.
Cici	sburb all over again
Jack	"almost unearthly.." Nickel is flipping through notes, trying to get Drillbur registered
Cici	oh OH ok so th e lake is a meteor crater the impact like
Cici	opened up a spring and it slowly filled up ! thats the Lore now its Canon
Drufle (GM)	Hey, Cici, roll a d6 for me.
Nickel	:o
Cici	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
Jack	d6 for lore
Drufle (GM)	Righto.
Cici	lunatones got out of the meteor like drunk drrivers staggering away from a car crash
Drufle (GM)	I hope you like some tanks.
Cici	they were like uuurgghh what happened oh great now the military is involved
Jack	WORLD OF TANKS
Cici	in any movie with aliens the military are Bad News
Jack	this is area 55
Cici	hehehe
Drufle (GM)	You're fine with Ground types, right Axel?
Nickel	yeah, sure you want me to roll a thing?
Drufle (GM)	No, I already did.
Nickel	okay
Saul	Saul's soul is back (and it's Sol)
Drufle (GM)	Oh, hello there.
Jack	hallo!
Nickel	welcome back
Drufle (GM)	So hey guys, I'm gonna do a thing here. I picked out some Pokemon, and if they would have evolved had you had them earlier, I'm just gonna toss them to you partially or fully evolved.
Nickel	welp, Drilbur knows Magnitude and thats all
Drufle (GM)	Also Saul, do you have any Pokemon you'd like?
Jack	thank you for the generosity!
Cici	:o
Drufle (GM)	We're at a sanctuary, if you can think of a desert-like Pokemon, you can have pretty much anything you want.
Cici	sol you have a vulpix now
Drufle (GM)	Oh yes, and that.
Saul	hurray! and uh
Drufle (GM)	If you don't have anything in mind, I can just randomize one.
Saul	I dunno, i can't think of anything slugma isn't an option is it
Drufle (GM)	It is a fire type, so I can give you that.
Nickel	its a sanctuary anything is an option
Drufle (GM)	Well, not [anything].
Jack	not moltres
Drufle (GM)	But a lot of things.
Saul	it won't be necesarily paritcularly useful but i always liked slugmas :P
Drufle (GM)	Righto. Man, I forgot that Saul was still only level 3.
Nickel	gotta feed him more EXP
Saul	din' i level up?
Jack	ppo
Saul	hence all the evos? well lucario that is
Jack	pour it in his mouth no luc was happiness
Saul	oh
Jack	it just happens
Saul	well that's good too i guess have me fight some stuff
Nickel	sanctuaries don't have fighting
Saul	i don'tm ind waiting for the opportunity
Nickel	they have FRIENDSHIP
Jack	i am sure we will have another battle just not here Nickel floats over to Cici and taps one of his inert magnemite sections
Saul	Most importantly do you want to fill me in
Nickel	"Zzzrtvvt?"
Saul	what's been happening? i got here as quick as I could
Jack	we are in the Pearlescent Wastes
Nickel	we mauled some wild pokemon they didn't stand a chance
Jack	we went on a little road trip
Cici	im still here hi
Jack	ekans skorupi drilbur and vulpix
Nickel	Copper still has your hat
Jack	hallo~~
Cici	i was waiting for the pokemon to show up
Nickel	she hasn't given it back yet
Cici	eheh
Jack	Moraine and Clara evolve my geodude and Cici's Sewaddle
Nickel	Clara is now a permagrouch
Saul	I have ample replacements
Nickel	good, you'll need them
Jack	lose a hat on every route
Saul	don't worry I have an arrangement with what I guess is equivalent to arceus i have infinite hats
Nickel	well alright then
Saul	man i suddenly have a cold Nickel picks up some of the sand and attempts to analyze it
Saul	that ever happen to you
Drufle (GM)	Actually, you know what. Cici, roll a 2d6 for me.
Nickel	no, I don't have a nose
Cici	:O
Nickel	I can't get colds
Cici	rolling 2d6( 3 + 4 ) = 7
Nickel	perfect 7
Drufle (GM)	Alright then. Tadaaaaa.
(From Drilbur)	umm, I can't see the NPC tab
Saul	oh my god
(From Drilbur)	scratch that, I can
(To Horanoven A.)	To be fair, you shouldn't be able to see those.
(From Drilbur)	ignore my silly typo
(To Horanoven A.)	Or there's no reason for you to do so anyway :P
Cici	"A Nidorino! Oh, what a beautiful coat!" ive decided this nidorino has spots
Drufle (GM)	So I was about [this] close to giving you Nidoking instead, since we do have a Pokemon that is literally a moon right here.
Cici	like a god damn giraffe
Jack	ahaha
Drufle (GM)	But luck was not on your side.
Cici	aww hehe
Jack	radioactive moon
Drufle (GM)	If you had gotten a 10 or higher on that roll, I would've handed you the Nidoking instead.
Saul	"Wow, that's a Lunatone doing in such a sunny place?" grins
Jack	"look over there!"
Cici	rip
Axel	"Well uh...this is an interesting group"
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you can just stop by a store and grab one for, what, 5k pokeyen? That's like chump change these days.
Cici	"...Actually, that's a good question, Saul." yea stones are easy hehe
Axel	says you, I was stuck in a mountain with an Eevee no stones to be bought
Cici	:'(
Saul	luna tone can be bought? wot
Axel	poor little Chrom
Jack	water under the bridge Moon Stones, Sol
Cici	moon stones
Drufle (GM)	So, who wants to give all of their Pokeballs to Cici so she can do the catching?
Axel	I mean
Drufle (GM)	Remember how that's a thing she can do?
Axel	I want that sandslash
Jack	whats luna's rate
Axel	but yes, let her catch all the things
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right, let me get those rates for you. Cici slowly approaches the Nidorino as it drinks from the lake, offering it a snack, which it accepts warily
Saul	i'm confused why we're talking about moon stones
Nickel	Nidorino evolves via moonstone into Nidoking
Saul	did i miss something about nidorino alright that makes sense usual sol
Cici	hehe its ok
Nickel	eh, that's what we're here for Jack starts being orbited by the lunatone
Cici	drufle was saying that with the lunatone around maybe there was a moon stone as well which the nidorino had used
Jack	"ugh, dizzy..."
Nickel	endless supply of pokemon knowledge
Drufle (GM)	Lunatone is 44, Sandslash is 45, Nidorino is 37, Slugma is 25.
Cici	its probably for the best tbh nidoking's catch rate is probably hell
Jack	wow, not even with an ultra
Nickel	sandslash, wow why so high? fine, I have an ultra
Drufle (GM)	Nidoking's catch rate is a whopping 50.
Nickel	or will a great do?
Cici	"I would love to take you with me, if you'd like."
Saul	what's Cici's Apt? Cici offers the Nidorino a Great Ball
Cici	its 8
Nickel	8 I think
Cici	and i get advantage on all capture checks in a sanctuary
Nickel	but I think she gets...yeah which is nice
Saul	that has to do with your rainer type? trainer*
Cici	the nidorino just popped in that ball and i didnt even have to roll yeah its a researcher perk
Saul	cool uh
Drufle (GM)	She gets lots of weird abilities.
Saul	you don't even need to help me catch slugma though Nickel floats over and hands Cici an ultraball
Drufle (GM)	Advantage on sanctuary captures, half price on Pokeballs, dang.
Saul	i can just normal ball it
Drufle (GM)	But yes, that's a Nidorino for Cici!
Nickel	"Zzzt" Cici looks at Nickel
Nickel	"Vrrrzzzrrt"
Cici	"For the Sandslash?"
Nickel	"Zzztzzt" Nickel nods Jack casually kicks and ultra ball over to Cici as well
Drufle (GM)	She can auto-catch Slugma with a Pokeball, and she can grab Lunatone and Sandslash with ultra balls. Who even needs that advantage.
Nickel	no chances taken
Cici	i could probably get them with great balls tbh
Nickel	45 is a scary number
Cici	but yeah if we have the ultra ball no need to risk it Saul rolls a pokeboll from one hand, to the arm to the shoulder, over to the other shoulder and the other arm and bounces it to Cici with his elbow
Saul	he's showing you guys a whole new world.. Cici talks the other 3 Pokemon into getting in the dang ol balls so we can be on our way
Cici	i dont even need to roll all of those are guaranteed
Drufle (GM)	They sure are!
Nickel	anyways, While Cici does her thing, can Axel Apricorn hunt?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, go ahead.
Nickel	what is that, an Apt roll?
Drufle (GM)	Nope. Two 2d6s.
Nickel	oh
Axel	rolling 2d6+2d6( 2 + 1 )+( 5 + 4 ) = 12
Saul	i have like nothing useful to do ever, i'm not researching, or collecting, i'm a really boring kid it seems
Cici	:(
Jack	you are Battle Lad
Drufle (GM)	You get 2 pp at the beginning of the game. That's kind of overpowered in battle, to be honest.
Axel	which is very good
Jack	ust a bit unfortunate that you came in AFTER the battle
Cici	pp is good for a lot of other shit too tbh like
Axel	Iron Head can eat a PP to flinch a thing, for example
Cici	i have an attack that just summons a sanctuary pokemon at any time in exchange for 1 pp
Saul	you're gonna have to explain to me what to do with those at some point
Drufle (GM)	Axel, you find a Green apricorn!
Axel	Avalanch eats a PP to freeze a mon
Jack	an attack?
Axel	green apricorn, yay
Cici	sweet scent
Saul	field move?
Jack	what!!
Drufle (GM)	Wow, what. Why do you never use that?
Cici	grass focus my dude because i only got it at the end of last session :B
Drufle (GM)	Oh, that's why. Wait...
Saul	hahaha
Cici	also uh given the fact that.
Drufle (GM)	You just got grass focus last session? Dang.
Axel	4 red, 2 blue, and 1 green what can I do with that?
Cici	i recharge a pp every time i catch a pokemon i dont have already i could literally just do that. for hours. until i run out of pokemon to find in the area. or pokeballs.
Jack	aint no rule!
Saul	wow we should totally make a session out of that for kicks
Cici	that would be fucking ridiculous
Drufle (GM)	You could make a bunch of great balls, Axel.
Jack	that would constitute GM Abuse
Axel	kick back, and let Cici perfume literally everything where is the list for balls?
Cici	"Any Grass or Fairy type"
Saul	the balls list
Drufle (GM)	To be honest, I would be ok with just spending like 2 hours catching free Pokemon.
Saul	i am trying really hard not to make immature jokes out of this
Cici	"Spend 1 PP to summon a rare Pokemon which could be found in a Sanctuary in that biome."
Drufle (GM)	Axel; It's way down on page 55.
Jack	is it less work than Plot
Drufle (GM)	(maybe)
Cici	axel make some great balls just the greatest balls
Saul	the best set of balls
Drufle (GM)	You could save up for Master balls, I suppose.
Axel	huh, Lure balls are a thing
Drufle (GM)	Those are really damn expensive, though.
Saul	do save up for masters
Cici	how often do we see water
Drufle (GM)	2 of every apricorn color.
Jack	"I want the very best balll, like no-one ever had"
Saul	i have a a few of the others saved up
Cici	you can MAKE master balls wow
Saul	and we can buy them
Jack	whoops shouldn't have said that
Drufle (GM)	Jack went to the beach recently.
Jack	I did
Axel	I am not sure I could even make a masterball
Jack	too much sun
Axel	that's a high DC 15 to succeed
Cici	who even has the fishing rod did we get one i forget
Drufle (GM)	Nope.
Jack	nope
Drufle (GM)	You guys have an itemfinder and an apricorn kit. Will also has the camping set.
Cici	i gotta get a berry kit...
Saul	yes in fact what verbs does this game have other than fight and catch, i wanna do some of those at the nearest opportunity
Cici	theres key items
Drufle (GM)	There's "talk", as well. That happens sometimes.
Cici	like the itemfinder and stuff
Jack	right lets get out of here and give saul a thing to do
Cici	you can only have one so you could get the berry kit or fishing rod
Saul	i don't have one of those do i
Cici	or theres a few others we dont have yet i dont think
Drufle (GM)	We'd have to go to a larger city first.
Cici	no axel and jack are the only ones with key items as far as i know and will theres also uhh
Axel	I'll save my apricorns for now
Cici	bicycle what else... i forget lmao
Drufle (GM)	A bike, a rod, and a berry kit. Those are the only others.
Saul	i agree with this decision axel
Axel	huh
Cici	we gotta get saul a key stone too
Axel	we gots the muns for that
Drufle (GM)	Should we... go back to Tormalia?
Saul	a kinda sorta free master ball is worth the risk
Cici	nah we gotta find a new city
Axel	maybe we can visit our labranch and do more stuff there
Cici	been there too many times
Axel	we have all that wilderness
Drufle (GM)	:P
Saul	i haven't, but nevermin that
Drufle (GM)	True!
Saul	i'm happy to visit New City TM
Axel	I can have Wolfram fly Saul to get his keystone
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, I somehow put literally all of the cities on the opposite side of the continent from you guys.
Cici	dammit drufle
Drufle (GM)	Aside from Tormalia.
Saul	nah we shoul walk battle ops, plot ops
Axel	walk allllll the way?
Saul	give drufe a chnce to run his rng engine a bit
Drufle (GM)	You'll have to fly to them unless you want to go through Tormalia.
Axel	hmmm
Saul	i should look at the map shouldn't i
Drufle (GM)	You can't go east since none of you have Surf.
Jack	isn't there any boats
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you can, but you'd fly there. Nope! Not yet.
Axel	we can fly, but I think we have to roll to go anywhere we haven't been
Cici	so we're at C
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Cici	have we been to 5
Drufle (GM)	No. That's where the Mythseekers HQ is. And basically nothing else.
Axel	hmm
Cici	spoopy
Axel	do we plot?
Drufle (GM)	That's, uh, Topash Town.
Jack	can't put it off forever
Saul	what down at D?
Jack	unless GM sez
Drufle (GM)	Over in the southeast?
Saul	yep
Drufle (GM)	Those are the Jade Cliffs, another special place.
Saul	special place eh?
Jack	Drufle
Drufle (GM)	Lots of fancy Pokemon there, like here and at Smarag Isle.
Saul	we can't reach it then?
Jack	how much would it cost us
Drufle (GM)	You can fly there if you'd like.
Jack	to build a new route
Drufle (GM)	...
Cici	hahahaha holy shit
Saul	is that a thing!?!!
Drufle (GM)	I mean I can't really say you can't do that. There's no real reason why you can't.
Jack	no but I definitely hope it is
Cici	where do you want to put one
Axel	I can see where a route could be
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, where would it go?
Jack	around the bay
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right there in the center, huh.
Axel	up to 11?
Jack	yeah so peeps
Drufle (GM)	I see where you're talking about.
Cici	like a little north and then east towards 11 interesting
Axel	make sure it has a bridge
Drufle (GM)	I hope you guys have lots of field moves.
Jack	can go from desert town to south of ice town I can creat earth
Cici	so wait
Saul	get some ice cream for a desert picnic?
Axel	I've got Control Earth on a few mons
Cici	whats at A
Jack	yeah control
Drufle (GM)	A is Smarag Isle, these guys went there earlier.
Cici	ohhh right
Drufle (GM)	Caught a ton of crazythings.
Cici	right i was there i remember
Drufle (GM)	Mhm.
Cici	ok the labranch is
Drufle (GM)	I swear I'm going to update this map someday.
Cici	at the intersection of 1 and B right and 2
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Cici	at the little corner there ok
Jack	well I don't mind trying to flatten out a dirt road on my own
Axel	half my mons have Control Earth and someone has Helping Hand
Jack	you guys can go do interesting stugg ff
Drufle (GM)	Cici has control plants as well, right?
Axel	there's also some Control Metal hanging around
Cici	i do
Saul	and i can control fire/.... ?
Axel	we could rip apart a new route
Drufle (GM)	There is kind of a forest in the way.
Jack	interesting conflict
Saul	burn it down
Axel	man, lets do this
Cici	wait why dont we discuss this in character
Jack	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, characters.
Cici	ok lets assume we're walkign back north then?
Axel	"Uhh...guys..."
Jack	"Man I really dont wanna walk all the way back to tormalia"
Axel	"Do any of us have surf?" Saul snaps out of his inexplicable immobility
Cici	"Hm. Shame there's no easy route around the bay."
Jack	"and no we don't!"
Axel	"Oh dear..." Jack looks at the map
Cici	"If we could skirt the south edge of the mountains..."
Saul	"Don't look at me, unless you want me to part the seas with fire or something."
Drufle (GM)	(you get surf from the water gym, if you guys hadn't read will's sessions) (just in case anyone asks) Axel turns the map up, down, and around, hoping for a path that isn't there
Jack	"see, there's a great path here, or there could be"
Cici	"We could try to go through the wilderness?"
Jack	"I wonder why no-one built a bypass?"
Cici	"Is that a good idea?"
Axel	"I mean...look here" "there is a little peninsula here"
Cici	"I'd hate to destroy any habitats in the way..."
Axel	"It'd be easy to bridge that, right?"
Jack	"Actually yeah..." "that might work out!"
Axel	"If we're careful we can avoid harming anything" Cici looks at the other 3
Saul	"Can't have progress without some sacrifice. maybe we could invest resources in relocating pokemon?"
Cici	"Do you guys want to make a road." "Because I do now."
Jack	"a bridge!" Nickel sighs and then begins drawing up bridge schematics
Drufle (GM)	"Where we're going, we don't need roads!" Jack 's eyes are gleaming
Cici	"So Axel you're suggesting a bridge across the bay?"
Nickel	ya'll gotta update this map, druf
Cici	"From... here to here?"
Drufle (GM)	Well I kinda have to now, don't I.
Cici	"That'd be a pretty serious bridge..." right at the narrowest part right
Saul	"Did anybody else hear that?"
Axel	"I mean...its like...very possible"
Jack	"hear what?"
Cici	who said that ???
Saul	"Could've sworn some disembodied voice made a funny reference."
Cici	mysterious voice from above
Axel	"This shouldn't be too hard"
Drufle (GM)	I'd imagine you guys would be going due north of that little bend east of 10. Straight into the road to 4.
Jack	"must be a passing ghost pokemon"
Cici	and axel was suggesting
Drufle (GM)	Actually, just a second, guys.
Cici	instead of going around the bay we bridge across the gap
Saul	Oh no
Cici	at the narrowest point
Jack	that tiny pinch
Saul	We can't do it can we? :(
Cici	lets do pros and cons
Drufle (GM)	No, you can, just gimme a bit.
Cici	we have money and levels we can do anything
Drufle (GM)	I gotta do something quick.
Axel	I have control metal, for what its worth
Jack	okay I gotta go do lunch too
Saul	Oh, ok.
Jack	back ina few mins
Cici	ok !
Jack	*dinner
Axel	we lunch breakin?
Saul	bon apetit
Cici	so just thinking out loud here
Axel	food breakin?
Cici	the pros of the northern path
Drufle (GM)	Well you can go get food, I was actually setting up a map.
Axel	we'd hit a mountain
Cici	connecting the routes around the top of the bay nah
Saul	hang on Cici lemme get the map up again and i'll think out loud witcha
Cici	weve got plenty of space to go around the mountain
Axel	right, you guys think out loud
Cici	the only problem is itd take longer to walk around really i think
Axel	I gotta eats
Drufle (GM)	Tada!
Cici	oh sick
Axel	woah okay
Drufle (GM)	This should be easier.
Cici	set zoom factor back a lil
Axel	I'm half tempted to just stay here
Saul	Useful!
Axel	so two options
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you'll have to zoom out a bit.
Axel	here at this bend
Drufle (GM)	Also, you guys have drawing tools! Use them!
Axel	right
Cici	so these two basically right
Saul	the topleft one I just pinged was what I had in mind
Axel	right so, pro of bridge, its more direct con, its a fucking bridge
Cici	the bridge would be a more direct route and probably more useful in the long run but its also yeah a bridge lmao and it's longer
Cici	like the amount of path to lay down is longer
Axel	I can bend metal to my will, but that may only go so far
Saul	going along the bay coast you could maybe see some interesting pokemon
Cici	plus look at the ground colors
Axel	also its a physical training check
Saul	good for tourism
Axel	which I suck at
Cici	we'd be making a path through the desert, mostly in the north we'd be going through the deciduous forests south of the mountains
Axel	its a bit of a walk, but the bay coast is less groundwork
Saul	well again how hard would it be maybe we could do one, go that way, then go the other way at some other point and make the second one
Cici	...both...
Axel	would we really do both?
Cici	i like the way you think tbh hehehe
Saul	why not? we're building for the future
Axel	well alright
Cici	also ! it IS probably easier to make a path on sand than through the woods
Axel	we'd need materials for the bridge then once we want to build that
Cici	like we'd have to be tearing up plant matter which i mean, i can do, pretty easily
Drufle (GM)	Phew, Legend complete.
Cici	nice work druf but yea
Saul	hang about
Cici	how would we even make a long term route through the desert
Saul	i haev control fire right you have control metal dude
Cici	what are the existing routes like?
Axel	I can hardly wait for Streak to see this
Saul	pokesmith
Axel	just suddenly a new road
Saul	ahahaha that'll be great
Cici	OOH what if you used control fire to scorch a path into the sand
Axel	oh my god
Saul	lass path?
Axel	glass path
Cici	like a hardened burnt glass strip going through the desert
Drufle (GM)	The existing routes? They're mostly dirt paths, although the ones nearby cities are more developed.
Saul	ohgdoyespls
Axel	it'd be beautiful
Saul	i mean
Axel	make em into bricks
Cici	that would probably last a bit longer than just wearing a path through the sand
Saul	there's the problem of it being too smooth it'd have to be like a glassy cobblestone path
Cici	control earth in combination then maybe solidify the sand into sedimentary rocks
Saul	we CAN maake a glass path but it'd be like an ice rink weeee!
Axel	I'm going to need to shuffle my mons for this, I think get some more Earth Benders
Saul	oi
Axel	have them all use Control Earth
Saul	there is no bending in ba sing poke
Drufle (GM)	This is probably more engineering then I see at college on a regular basis.
Axel	I have a team of Earth Benders, your argument is invalid
Drufle (GM)	Who knew the world of Pokemon had such potential for architecture and infrastructure.
Saul	i am the Fire Nation man, all my arguments are valid
Axel	Pokemon tends to have some odd infrastructure
Saul	Drufle building things i fun, if we can then why not?
Drufle (GM)	Well, I mean, I wasn't exactly planning on something like this to happen. It's a bit, say, unorthodox.
Axel	thank Jack for it
Drufle (GM)	But that hasn't ever really stopped me before.
Axel	because its happening
Cici	:>
Axel	:D
Saul	:[
Drufle (GM)	So are you seriously going to do both routes?
Saul	damn :]*
Axel	hopefully not at the same time
Saul	no just once and then we journey on for a bit
Axel	routes are not easy to make
Drufle (GM)	Well, I mean, you probably could.
Saul	then come back and do the second one
Drufle (GM)	Cici and Jack head up north, Saul and Axel head east.
Saul	there's tons of stuff to do still right, iirc?
Axel	we'd need at least one earth bender per team
Drufle (GM)	Well this is going to take a shit ton of time in and of itself.
Axel	hey, we've got time to burn
Drufle (GM)	You sure do!
Axel	Nickel wants to evolve
Drufle (GM)	So which route should we do first?
Axel	Jack isn't here at the moment
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right.
Saul	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Let's wait a bit for him to get back, then.
Cici	i think both at once is honeslty a pretty good call divide up our skills
Axel	Jack has some Earth Benders, right?
Cici	"Do you guys think we need... zoning permits, or something?"
Drufle (GM)	That's what I was thinking.
Saul	glass path has another problem too
Axel	"Uhh...good point..."
Saul	soooo shiny
Drufle (GM)	Cici is of no use in the desert, and Saul would be a bit of a hazard in the forest. Saul whips up a pamphlet he got before arriving at.. Galens(?)"
Cici	ill brb i gotta get food too lads yes galens hehe
Axel	right, food
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, Galens.
Axel	sorry FOOD AWAY!!! Woosh
Drufle (GM)	Alright, let's take a break.
Saul	"I don't think so. I think we're the commitee, there."
Drufle (GM)	And, I mean, to be fair, there isn't actually a zoning committee or anything here.
Saul	that was menat to be the point if only I was more eloquent
Drufle (GM)	This is a newly settled region, there's barely a government here at the moment. They don't even have the elite 4 done yet! And only 7 gyms!
Saul	maybe saul can thrive to be the local guv'nor in like 20 years i mean sow the seeds
Drufle (GM)	I would've expected you to try to be the Champion or something, but it would be funny to see Saul be the president or whatever of Galens.
Saul	that was my origina lintention yes
Drufle (GM)	Fair enough!
Saul	ace trainer and all but pokepolitics sounds like a hoot
Drufle (GM)	Well unfortunately, I think all of that will have to wait until the plot has finished. That can be part of the epilogue, I imagine.
Jack	ok back
Drufle (GM)	Or whatever I decide to do once this campaign finally ends.
Jack	what's up
Drufle (GM)	The other two went to go eat, so we'll be back in a bit.
Jack	and to be honest I wasn't expecting us to make a REAL bridge
Drufle (GM)	Well, now we are!
Jack	I was just gonna earthbend the cliff face over to the other side
Drufle (GM)	Also, Jack, you have some Control Earth, right?
Jack	a crude thing, rudely hewn from the living rock I am UP TO MY NECK in control earth, buckaroo
Drufle (GM)	Good. Well, see this lovely map?
Jack	i do!
Drufle (GM)	Those are the two routes we were considering.
Jack	exactly what I was thinking
Drufle (GM)	Then Cici said, you know, why not do both?
Jack	I read back
Drufle (GM)	They'd both be valuable assets to have. Ah, good.
Saul	actually it was i who said that
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez, was it?
Saul	cici solidified doing them at the same time
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right. Sorry I mixed those two up.
Jack	I have no idea how that'll work out
Drufle (GM)	Jack and Cici go north, Saul and Axel go east.
Jack	oh ok
Drufle (GM)	It'd be theoretically pretty simple.
Jack	I was figuring that I would go east
Drufle (GM)	Cici and you go north to clear out the forests and pave down the earth, Saul and Axel go east to glass out the desert route and form a bridge across the bay.
Jack	since stretching stone across air should be a harder task than leveling the ground
Saul	well it's not set in.. uh.. like sand or glass or something yet lol
Jack	eh, I dont really mind I'll go north
Saul	aight
Drufle (GM)	We'll see what the final decision is when the other two return.
Cici	hi im back with... ravioli
Saul	damn y u do dis to me :(
Jack	the pasta of queens
Saul	i love ravioli... :)
Drufle (GM)	Gasp. PASTA
Jack	druf where are we on teh map right now
Saul	C
Cici	coming back north from c
Drufle (GM)	The Wastes, down at the bottom.
Jack	ok
Drufle (GM)	So you'll be near Citrina soon.
Cici	i made a you are here star
Drufle (GM)	I've also given you a handy Legend, up in the top left.
Jack	can I stop by in 10 and swap lilly out for someone who can Earth I know, thank you
Saul	that's not a bad idea is there a market there?
Cici	yeah lets all go back to citrina and rotate our parties
Drufle (GM)	A market? I mean, yes.
Saul	pokemart
Drufle (GM)	Every city has one.
Saul	market is less letters man gimme a break :P
Jack	yes I would like to buy ballls
Drufle (GM)	Whether or not it sells what you want is a different matter.
Jack	too
Saul	oh, well.. i might as well browse? i dunno, i haven't really explored this place at all yet because I'm so new i wann see what you created
Drufle (GM)	Fair enough.
Jack	let's explore the town!
Cici	i might buy more pokeballs too tbh im running relatively low
Drufle (GM)	Wow, really? I'm amazed that anyone is running out of any sort of item.
Jack	I don't like having less than 10
Drufle (GM)	And remember, if anyone wants more Pokeballs, get Cici to buy them for you. She gets half off! So yeah, go ahead and buy whatever you'd like around here.
Cici	discount card ;o how about i buy in bulk ill grab 20 and give them out as people need
Drufle (GM)	Remember, however, that you cannot buy evolution items, key items, ethers, or hyper potions here. Those can only be bought in cities.
Cici	if i buy 20 for 100 each thats uh
Drufle (GM)	2000.
Cici	cheap enough that i dont think i want people to reimburse me tbh
Drufle (GM)	Quite a pittance at this point, isn't it?
Cici	and 2000 yeah :p does anybody just want some right now
Drufle (GM)	Really though you guys are so rich.
Jack	want what?
Drufle (GM)	Pokeballs.
Cici	i just bought 20
Jack	oh um
Cici	and 2 premier balls presumeably
Drufle (GM)	Mhm.
Jack	I've fine for pokeballs
Cici	ill just count those as 2 more regulars
Jack	I was wanting greats and ultras
Cici	i can buy those too :>
Jack	ok!
Cici	how many you want
Jack	um
Drufle (GM)	Well, she should buy them regardless.
Cici	maybe ill just grab 10 great balls for now
Jack	6 ultras I think
Cici	if you pay for the ultras i can buy them
Jack	whats the damage monetarily
Cici	theyre 600 each so 3600 for you total if you awnt 6
Drufle (GM)	I should really toss more evolved Pokemon at you guys in the future. Maybe we'll finally have more failed captures, aside from that one time.
Jack	yeah I can do that
Drufle (GM)	Remember that one single time you guys failed a capture roll?
Cici	no ???
Drufle (GM)	And by you guys I'm pretty sure it was Axel. He tried to catch a Honedge. Or was it Romaine, I forget.
Jack	yes I failed to catch a Solrock I am certain
Drufle (GM)	That too, yeah. We were down in the Heatran Hole.
Jack	there was a solrock in the heatran hole?? what the heck
Drufle (GM)	Wasn't there? Maybe the Solrock was somewhere else.
Cici	:O
Jack	whatever it was ages ago
Drufle (GM)	I know the Honedge was down there.
Cici	jack are you marking off the 3600 then
Jack	yep thank you
Cici	i think 4 ultra balls is enough for me tbh
Drufle (GM)	So, just out of curiosity, does anyone plan on telling people about your plan?
Cici	and im under 10k cash now so. i gotta stop
Jack	oh yeah that's important
Saul	are people back
Jack	"I think we need to see someone in charge before we go off and make roads"
Cici	i was gonna tell aidan when i called him to tell him to swap my trubbish for foongus
Jack	"who's in charge here?"
Drufle (GM)	Probably Dustin.
Cici	"...Good question, really." "In terms of the town maybe we should see the Gym Leader."
Drufle (GM)	Gym leaders are usually some sort of authority figure.
Jack	"Ah of course, the gym leader would be the one to call"
Cici	"On the scale we're building? Who knows, honestly."
Drufle (GM)	Well, he's still in the gym, so let's go ask him.
Jack	wait Saul are you buying anything
Saul	what's on offer
Jack	Drufle?
Saul	no key stone or w/e i imagine
Jack	not in this neck of the dumps, no
Drufle (GM)	Pokeballs and healing items, mostly. Ultra and Great balls as well, if you want those. But really, who even uses healing items??? Aside from the, like, two times you guys actually did. Cici bought 20 pokeballs so if you need any more of those, you can get some from her. If you want more Great or Ultra balls you'll have to buy them yourself, but she'll do it for you because of the discount.
Cici	yea i got a Membership Card flash
Jack	"Yeah Saul, Cici's got an excellent eye for a good deal. She's done most of the shopping already" Cici has never told Jack that she gets discounts at stores she just tells him she's a savvy shopper Cici why do you lie to children. why
Saul	"I suppoe I could use an ultra ball or two? maybe a couple more great balls?
Drufle (GM)	:P You say children as if you aren't young yourself.
Cici	cici is 24 my dude
Drufle (GM)	... wait, really?
Cici	yeah ??:
Saul	isn't saul like the only one that's 14
Drufle (GM)	Oh.
Cici	shes an Adulte
Drufle (GM)	No, Jack is really young too.
Cici	shes a PROFESSIONAL and has finished Pokemon College
Drufle (GM)	So is Will, for that matter.
Saul	i made him to fit my mental capacity you see
Cici	axel is also an Adult
Drufle (GM)	I dunno, for some reason I thought Cici was, like, 16 or something.
Saul	animeface syndrome?
Cici	naw shes not rly a super prodigy or anything haha
Drufle (GM)	Well, good to know.
Cici	just ur standard Plant Scientist
Saul	pokebotanist
Drufle (GM)	I guess that does make it slightly less weird. Here I thought Axel was just leading around a pile of children.
Cici	axel is a bit of a brock isnt he
Jack	yeah I'm 13 and he totally is brock but even brock was only a teenager!
Drufle (GM)	Brock was at least fairly competent in his field, though.
Cici	yeah brock was like what 16 to ash's 10 and misty was like... 14? 13? ...who let these kids wander around the countryside
Drufle (GM)	The government.
Cici	jessie and james were suppoesd to be 17-18 i think anime is fucked up
Drufle (GM)	Actually, aren't the characters in the newer games older?
Jack	yes I just checked Brock was 15 in his debut
Drufle (GM)	Like weren't the protagonists in BW or BW2 older?
Cici	the BW1 protags were 15 i forget the other ones
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Jack	MISTY IS ALSO 10 WTF
Cici	she smol
Drufle (GM)	Wow, really?
Cici	hows she a gym leader at 10 tho honestly howd that happen
Jack	granted this was not mentioned in the english dub
Drufle (GM)	But... she's- yeah. Well, to be fair, we do also have whats his face from Kalos. The electric kid.
Cici	clemont
Jack	he does not have a canon age they learn3ed their lesson
Drufle (GM)	Man, did Axel go out to eat or something? Dude's been gone for a while.
Saul	i have to brb as well
Jack	must have
Saul	stuff IRL that requires my attention
Jack	ok~~
Saul	be back asap
Cici	ok !! good luck with ur Thing
Jack	ping in telegram when you're all ready I shall work on mega leafeon pog
Cici	druf make sure you assign the pokemon out to ppl btw the ones we just got
Jack	Phoone, whaddya want
Cici	:o
Drufle (GM)	... didn't I do that? Nuts.
Cici	i forget what mega leafeon even is some sorta bug ??
Drufle (GM)	Grass/Bug. With, uh Tinted Lens?
Cici	give it dragonfly traits i guess ??
Jack	see I was going to go with something graceful covered in flowers that attract butterflies
Cici	OOH
Jack	to do bug moves for it
Cici	thats a good idea !!! that sounds cool... maybe it gets like butterfly wings
Jack	hyes
Cici	fucking anime as SHIT ok also maybe it has like lil antennae
Jack	mhm
Cici	those would show up on the pog so leafeon with
Jack	they would indeed
Cici	antennae and flowers ! c:
Jack	okay!
Cici	go fur it !!! it hasnt mega evolved yet so pretty much everything is Artist's Discretion rly
Jack	so yeah ping me in telegram when peeps are ready to go
Cici	u control the canon... shape teh future of Worlde
Drufle (GM)	To be fair, that is literally what you guys are doing right now. Imposing your will upon the map.
Jack	of COURSE the tablet's fucked up
Drufle (GM)	D:
Cici	D: :c
Jack	time to restart compy~~ back in a few
Cici	kk
Drufle (GM)	You know, Jack, for an Ice trainer, you have a metric fuckton of Rock types.
Cici	he loves the crunch
Drufle (GM)	Also I love how the Hazmat Crew has doubled this session.
Cici	i had a lot of part poison types before only just now am i finding ones which are primarily poision
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, but I had a hard time picking where they all went.
Cici	because u know no plants around here hehehe
Drufle (GM)	You have a ton of Bug/Poison but I could never decide whether they should be Carapacians or Hazmat.
Axel	Okay I'm back hi I'm sorry
Drufle (GM)	Man, where'd you go?
Axel	eating leftover crab
Drufle (GM)	Saul's off on a break at the moment, so the break continues.
Axel	it is not easy to eat
Drufle (GM)	Ok, true.
Axel	so what'd we plan out?
Drufle (GM)	We went back to town to restock. Do you want any items or balls?
Axel	okay uhhh 2 ultraballs have cici buy them
Drufle (GM)	Righto.
Axel	for discounts
Drufle (GM)	That's 1200 from your bank then.
Axel	easy if I can find my wallet alright then
Drufle (GM)	Sol is doing chores or something, and Mopp had to restart his computer. He's back now though. Apparently.
Jack	aback
Axel	hi mopp
Cici	:o
Axel	I want to shuffle my team
Drufle (GM)	So does everyone else. Go ahead!
Axel	uhh, lets see here huh, Galliant is the only groundmover not on the team right now swap him out with Chrom I'm not updating my notes, I'll just keep that in mind its a hassel moving things around
Drufle (GM)	Understandable.
Axel	when does Drillbur evolve? 5?
Drufle (GM)	Probably. Lemme look. 5, yes.
Axel	actually let me switch Chrom for Copper Chrom has Helping Hand gonna want those
Drufle (GM)	Oh man, yeah. I forgot about that one!
Saul	so i have to go unfortunately
Axel	D:
Cici	ive got 5 out of 6 pokemon who can control plants rn aw ok :<
Axel	well alright
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear.
Saul	wait waitwait
Axel	hm?
Saul	maybe not
Axel	:D?
Jack	wat is happening
Saul	nope false alarm sorry lol i'm fine
Axel	welcome back then we missed youu
Jack	disturbing sentence
Saul	?
Axel	???
Drufle (GM)	:P
Jack	I mean the "nope false alarm" bit what is a real alarm
Axel	did anyone get any key items?
Cici	cant buy them here
Jack	I did not, no
Drufle (GM)	Can't.
Axel	oh
Drufle (GM)	Only in cities!
Axel	right, teeny town welp, lets move some earth
Drufle (GM)	Remember how I said that the only cities are on the other side of the continent?
Axel	make some towns
Drufle (GM)	Oh wait, uh. We were going to talk to Dustin first.
Jack	yes
Axel	where is dustin?
Drufle (GM)	It's probably important to talk to the local authorities. In the gym.
Jack	about our contstruction proposal
Axel	oh right yes, lets do that "well, here we are again.."
Saul	wait did i get my balls did money exchange haands hands*
Cici	what did you want what kind and how many
Saul	2 ultras, 4 greats?
Cici	ok you can take those and cross off uhh 2400? 2400 total i think
Axel	1200 for ultras, I think
Cici	i get them at half price
Axel	that sounds right
Drufle (GM)	Yes. 2400.
Saul	done
Axel	this is going to be an interesting conversation -hey man, we'd like to build some roads all over the place
Saul	"Thanks for that!"
Axel	-that cool?
Saul	he'll be like Uh and you'll be all like cheers thanks
Drufle (GM)	So we wander back into the ol' Citrina gym. Honestly, it's still probably dusty everywhere from the gym battles you had like 3 or so hours ago.
Jack	"hello? Dustin?" Saul coffs
Saul	"Man, he didn't even tidy up yet!"
Dustin	"Yes, yes, one moment. I'll be right there!"
Axel	"It was quite the fight..." Dustin comes from the back room wearing gloves, goggles, and a face mask.
Saul	"I guess." (this in subtext, .e.g. very weakly): "All it takes is a broom..." Dustin lowers the mask and raises the goggles.
Axel	the ground is dirt
Dustin	"Oh, it's you four again. Do you need anything?"
Axel	what do you sweep???
Saul	the ground
Axel	sweep the ground away
Saul	yup
Jack	"Hi there!" "um" "we..."
Nickel	"..." Jack: Poise
Check: 13 (is that good)
Drufle (GM)	Holy shit, a poise check.
Nickel	gasp
Drufle (GM)	Yes, that's good.
Jack	ok
Saul	i don't even remember what poise does Jack collects himself
Drufle (GM)	It's like your charisma stat.
Nickel	its just people stuff
Cici	its charisma basically
Saul	aight
Jack	"we'd like to propose a new construction plan to you!" Nickel nods Saul grins
Dustin	"... come again?" Nickel pulls out schematics for the roads we want to build
Nickel	"Zzzvrrr"
Cici	"We were talking about how remote this area of the region is..."
Saul	where was it keeping those??
Jack	"we have come to the conclusion that Galens is in need of routes connecting the west and east" Cici nods
Nickel	a secret to all Axel is my pockets
Cici	"We're looking to build a route around the northern edge of the bay, and another one that bridges the gulf." "Our Pokemon can help! It should take a little while and a lot of work, but I'm confident we can pull it off."
Saul	"Think like multiple path options in gameboy games."
Nickel	-Why build one road when you can build two?- "Zzzrtvvvp"
Saul	4th wall anyone?
Cici	hes a nerd right he probably gets it
Saul	is he meta enough
Dustin	"Are you aware that there is a southern route already? It's due east of here."
Saul	i'm so meta \m/
Axel	"Surf isn't always available, sir"
Jack	"we are, but it's not accessible to trainers who don't have pokemon that can swim." " I could float everyone out there on Brunt, but we'd just drift out to open water!" Dustin scratches his head and thinks.
Saul	"It would make sense to have a route connecting the desert and the mountain, Dustin. Right now you have all sorts of traffic limited to the west." Nickel points to himself as a pokemon who cannot swim
Saul	"It's not bad with just a few settlers but when you get proper tourism..."
Dustin	"A fair point, I suppose. Ease of access for newcomers isn't necessary at the moment, but it would be helpful in the future."
Nickel	"Vzz" -Agreed- Saul is smarter than he looks?
Dustin	"You say you have the skills necessary? I assume you have the requisite training and type coverage for this sort of work." Axel brings out all his pokemon
Saul	"We'll be able to test run those, man." grin Saul I guess he just wants to burn stuff in a usefu way
Axel	"I have the ground covered pretty handidly"
Cici	hehehe Cici nods
Axel	so many earth movers
Cici	"I believe my grass types should be able to clear the vegetation north of the bay easily."
Axel	the ground shall obey
Jack	"I have a museum's worth of rock-types at my disposal" "pretty silly for an ice specialist, huh?"
Saul	or at least convince the veg to budge over
Axel	a literal museum's
Dustin	"Hold on, are you planning on building two routes? These plans have lines marked out both north of the bay and across it, to the east."
Saul	hey foliage move over pls thanks
Dustin	"Bridgework requires some delicate processes, I hope you realize."
Axel	"I-I am a scientist, sir" "I have some engineering experience"
Jack	but you're _not_ an engineer :P oh wait there we go
Axel	I had to go to college too you learn shit there
Jack	you go to college at 14?
Axel	also Nickel
Jack	young world
Dustin	"I am a scientist as well, but having knowledge of one subject guarantees nothing of your knowledge of other subjects."
Axel	Do you know how old Axel is???
Jack	oh sorry!
Saul	he told youu
Dustin	"But if you say you are confident of your abilities, I will trust as much."
Jack	I thought that was Saul talking!
Saul	"Well we do have access to a forge, Dustin." Nickel shows his bridge schematics
Saul	"We can make stuff to specification."
Jack	boy it's lucky we have a floating supercomputer huh
Nickel	-If Axel cannot, I can Dustin looks over the blueprints and raises an eyebrow.
Saul	what is a magneton's computing power I wonder is it turing complete
Nickel	more than a magnemite's also yes
Jack	three times more!
Saul	3 times magnemite's
Dustin	"This is... fairly unorthodox, for a bridge. But I suppose it could work. You do have both Steel and Fire types available, yes?" Nickel points to himself once again
Saul	steel? what, we gonna peel their skins off?
Nickel	ores
Cici	metal bending
Nickel	I told you, I've got Earth Benders, which includes metal benders
Saul	lol i love that in this game you can magic the stuff in the ground too
Dustin	"Very well. One moment, please."
Jack	it doesnt but yeah you have them anyway
Saul	love it Dustin walks to the backroom again.
Jack	I love how we're playing this like Dustin actually has to give us a grant
Saul	control fire? don't mind if i do!
Nickel	I mean, its nice to ask Dustin returns a few minutes later with a couple of bracelets and a bunch of paper.
Saul	well, drufle can give us the players permission, somebody has to give the characters the same
Jack	brrracelets?!?!?!
Saul	oh look handcuffs
Jack	bahahahahahah
Nickel	are these...permits? Dustin hands a bracelet to each of the party and then hands the papers to Axel.
Jack	"what's this?"
Axel	"Ah, excellet"
Dustin	"These bracelets mark you as temporary officials in the area; you will have jurisdiction over the surrounding land, up to and including the bay. Past that, you will most likely have to obtain similar access from the nearby towns." Dustin points at the pile of paper.
Dustin	"Those are confidentiality, ease of access, and liability forms. Sign each of them and then hand them back, please." Axel and Nickel sign with their signitures
Axel	then we pass them around Jack signs
Saul	"Yeesh... paperwork, man. I didn't think of that." "I'm a minor, can I still sign? Dustin nods.
Axel	"This is fairly tame for paperwork" Saul signs the papers
Jack	"well I just did :v"
Axel	"Trust me on this" Saul 's soul is now property of Dustin Incf
Dustin	"Axel here is the official signatory, as he is the one with the plans."
Saul	typoos.
Dustin	"But I require written permission from all of you as well."
Axel	oh god why cici?? she needs to sign, where did she go? is Dustin not going to ask why the Magneton also signed?
Saul	"Well how 'bout that, Axel, you're like my manager now!" grins
Cici	back
Axel	or has he figured out how strange this is
Drufle (GM)	No, he just doesn't really care.
Axel	"O-oh, uhh...alright" Cici signs
Drufle (GM)	"sure, the pokemon signed, why not"
Axel	he has heard the legends from the other leadesr the fact that the mag can sign at all is probably impressive
Dustin	"Very good. I recommend you start in the morning, if you plan on doing so soon. Working in the evening this close to a settlement is not allowed."
Axel	"Right, can do" Dustin nods and puts the paperwork in his pocket.
Dustin	"Good luck, then. Try not to break anything important." Dustin dons his work gear and walks off to the back room.
Saul	"Sure thing, bo- oh. bye!"
Axel	tfw a legendary shows up and wrecks shit
Saul	oh god why
Jack	most likely
Saul	did you HAVE to say that
Axel	its happened like...so many times now
Drufle (GM)	What? Noooo, why would that happen?
Jack	we are besmirching nature!
Drufle (GM)	There is literally no precedent for that kind of thing. At all. Definitely not.
Jack	honest
Saul	w/e we'll be fine let's go heat some shit up er what's the time in-game?
Axel	sleep first
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, I assume you'll all take his advice and go to the Pokecenter to rest? It's, like, 7 pm or so.
Axel	then heat shit up
Saul	aight
Drufle (GM)	Kind of early for sleep, but way too late to start working.
Saul	well let's go have an evening adventure somewhere
Jack	"you know Axel, I never figured that you would be building an _actual bridge_"
Galliant	Oh god I forgot that I just got a sandslash my work never ends
Drufle (GM)	You sure did!
Saul	and I have a slugma i'll take care of it post-session
Jack	"I was just suggesting we punch a tube of rock over to the other side and see what happens."
Galliant	also hi, I'mma drillbur
Saul	oh I never reduced the pokeballs for what I gave Cici i have her a normall ball right?
Axel	"Well uh...a tube wouldn't last, right?" "It'd...fall into the water"
Saul	tell that to elon musk
Jack	"something solid" another gold pun
Saul	he's trying to build a supersonic train that goes in a tube
Cici	yes it was a standard pokeball
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he sure is.
Saul	in a vacuum tube as well
Jack	why is he called elon musk
Sandslash	oh to name a Sandslash
Jack	and not be associated with perfumes
Drufle (GM)	:P
Saul	hahahaha
Axel	good question
Drufle (GM)	So are we doing anything in the evening, or shall we skip to morning?
Axel	what highstats can Sandslash have?
Saul	evening adventure?
Cici	well i gotta tell aidan what we're doing
Jack	true
Axel	oh god he's going to flip
Saul	aidan?
Axel	first a town, now this the Aid of the proff
Drufle (GM)	DEF and ATK, Axel.
Axel	oooh intersting
Drufle (GM)	Oh yeah, we should probably call Aidan. Aidan is the Professor's assistant, Saul.
Saul	right i do not remember things
Drufle (GM)	He's the one you were talking to when I first introduced you. RING RING RING
Saul	banana phone..
Aidan	"Yes? What is it?"
Saul	lol what is it
Cici	"Hey, Aidan..."
Saul	whaddaya want!
Cici	"Got a few Pokemon to transfer over." "We've got a bit of a... project, in the works, if you will."
Axel	what is sandslash's ability?
Aidan	"A project? You've already built half a town here, what more could you do?"
Axel	oh how little he knows
Drufle (GM)	He has Sand Rush.
Saul	we signed ndas cici, be discreet
Axel	ooh, okay
Drufle (GM)	All his moves have priority during a sandstorm.
Axel	ooooooooh
Saul	that is nice
Drufle (GM)	Well you can tell Aidan what you're doing, he is technically your superior.
Saul	that is really nice it was a joke, druf
Drufle (GM)	:P
Cici	"Welll...." "You know how the southern desert is pretty difficult to access?" "We were thinking, and wondered... What if it wasn't."
Saul	not to even mention the southeast corner
Cici	"So long story short we've decided to build a bridge."
Axel	and a road
Drufle (GM)	"... I wish I could say that's surprising, but it's honestly quite in line with your past endeavors. I assume you talked with the local authorities and have your jurisdictive bracelets?"
Saul	oops
Cici	"Yeah, we just got some from the gym leader down here."
Drufle (GM)	Oh, uh, that was totally Aidan talking.
Aidan	"Good! Well, uh, don't cause too much damage, then. Good luck!"
Drufle (GM)	M. Sandslash has Multiscale, which is honestly kinda not super useful in this game.
Axel	welp, Sandslash also knows only Magnitude on a roll here
Drufle (GM)	Attacks have a 50% chance of doing -1 damage while you're at full hp.
Axel	I made it DEF...for now it made no difference Cici hangs up
Cici	"At least he has faith in us..." Cici sigh
Cici	"I guess."
Drufle (GM)	Someone does! You can do it! Probably!
Axel	I mean we have so many mons with the controls neccessary
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez, I just looked at M. Nidoking, he's terrifying.
Jack	"it might take a while but I'm sure it'll work out!"
Axel	"T-this will work, I think"
Drufle (GM)	Poison/Dragon with Sheer Force, why would you do that to me.
Cici	holy shit
Axel	"I-I mean...we've faced magma beasts and frost dragons"
Drufle (GM)	Sheer Force is crazy good in this game.
Axel	"How can this be worse...right???"
Drufle (GM)	You can spend 1 pp to do +1 damage on any move.
Axel	:D
Saul	"We could create an ecological disaster, Axel."
Drufle (GM)	Pfffft.
Axel	"Oh noooo..."
Drufle (GM)	Way to be optimistic, bro. Saul grins after a few seconds and pats Axel on the back
Axel	"Why would you say that..."
Drufle (GM)	I mean, he isn't exactly wrong.
Saul	"I'm messin' with you, man. We'll do fine"
Drufle (GM)	You could totally destroy everything!
Saul	we cuold, but we won't
Axel	this is why Saul isn't going up to the forest road
Drufle (GM)	:P
Axel	I mean, what -can- we break, really?
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, off to sleep with everyone.
Axel	the dirt?
Drufle (GM)	Depends on how well you roll!
Axel	alright...ZZZZ
Drufle (GM)	And whether or not you get noticed. Axel works most of the night
Drufle (GM)	So, I think I might actually end the session here, because my dad will be here in like half an hour to pick me up.
Axel	well alright
Jack	okay
Drufle (GM)	We can begin the ridiculous process of forming entire routes next time!
Jack	sorry we didn;t get to fight more things, sol look forward to demon lord tomorrow
Saul	it's alright, i should've not forgotten about the sesssion
Axel	just to remind me...I have Nickel, Wolfram, Rochelle, Phosphera, Chrom, and Galliant on my team right now
Saul	my fault
Drufle (GM)	That's fine.
Cici	okie dokie
Drufle (GM)	And we'll have plenty of combat to do tomorrow, yeah.
Saul	like i literally asked about it yesterday
Cici	axel: why dont you just use teh 'active team' page on the character sheet
Jack	Phoone, thanks for being here!!
Axel	is their one??
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, there is. And yes, thanks everyone for an actual 4-player session. Haven't had that in, uh, a long time.
Axel	oh, I haven't been using the sheet I've kept everything in my notes
Jack	sheet is love sheet is life
Drufle (GM)	Cici, go do some dexes! You have so much exp available to you!
Saul	i also kept all in my note
Drufle (GM)	You could probably surpass the others in levels if you wrote out most of them.
Cici	yeahhhh
Axel	do it
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, keeping stuff in your notes is usually hepful.
Cici	:B
Axel	you have the power
Saul	but that's because you'll notice i only have 'bio' and 'abilities' tabs
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, don't put them on your actual character. That's not super useful.
Saul	yeah so I got it all in my notes i hate actual papers anyway
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, that's all for today! Thanks for joining us for this session.
Saul	i'd show up to an IRL trpg sesh with a tablet or soething thanks ofr hosting ti
Axel	man, pure ground gets so little from the other earthen boons Rock and steel share a lot Ground is left out
Drufle (GM)	Reminder to the three of you that aren't Phoone, by the way. The SotDL session is an hour earlier tomorrow!
Axel	ah right
Drufle (GM)	4 pm GMT, 11 am EST.
Axel	I should be here now to go punch some dinos
Drufle (GM)	Alright, time to go edit the timeline.
