General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post, and 5 minute voting period for combat votes. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible. There are occasional roles to keep things organic, but mostly it goes by voters choice. Unless specified otherwise, the best of 3 rolls is the result, and rolling high is good.

Yes, I'm aware of the other Pokemon Quest. It's not any different from how this quest started after AoPH. I know inevitably someone will start flinging shit, please just ignore them. Mr. Oberon seems like a cool dude and I hope that his quest gets all the positive attention it rightly deserves.

Where we left off: Although you're a little bruised, scratched, and drenched, you decided to look for a new Pokemon during the last stretch of your journey to Chloroville.

You're tired, wet, bruised, covered in scratches, and just altogether miserable. But you're also tough, and determined, and used to pushing forward despite all that. You want to keep your eyes peeled for wild Pokemon before you get to Chloroville.

"Are you sure you're up for that?" Vance looks you up and down. You must look as bad as you feel.

"Vance is right," Robin adds. "You shouldn't push yourself too hard." She picks a leaf out of your hair.

As annoying as it is to have them trying to baby you, it's also a little nice. People usually don't ask or even care about how you're doing. "I'll be fine guys, really. It's just some scratches, nothing serious." Superficial stuff like this never bothered you.

You, Vance, and Robin take a quieter path a little bit away from the main road. The dirt turns to mud and you all find yourselves hopping over puddles or getting your feet stuck. "My boots were heavy enough as it is. With all this mud I'm waddling just like a… umm. What was that Pokemon you said might be around here?”

“Wooper" Robin offers as she jumps between the small islands of relatively solid dirt between the murky puddles.

You take big long strides through the mud with your boots. "Right! Just like-” You get cut off as your foot is lifted off the ground and you're sent flipping into the muddy water. As soon as you’re in it, you feel a jolt of electricity coarse through your entire body. You feel your limbs flail wildly, whether in surprise or in reaction to the jolt, you’re not sure. You manage to scramble to your feet and desperately wipe the mud out of your eyes and ears. As you’re getting your bearings, you see Vance and Robin jumping away from a small, brown, flopping, disk-shaped Pokemon.

I mentioned this in the QTG but I thought I'd mention it here.

The orphanage helped register Kat as a trainer. She has a trainer ID. She's got actual proof of her real identity on her and she regularly pulls it out to buy shit and check her money. How is she getting away with the fake name? How has real name not come up?

I think it's reasonable she's hiding her name but the fact that it hasn't come up or made known to us is weird unless you're saving it for some kind of important moment where her past catches up to her.

----------------------------------------
Vance laughs at you boyishly, and then at Robin as she tries to avoid it while at the same time trying not to step in mud either. She slips and falls and ends up covered almost as much as you are.

Vance’s laugh stops as the flopping Pokemon jumps at him. He catches it in one hand effortlessly. A small amount of mud shoots over him. He actually looks pretty cool.

Until it shocks him. He flinches just enough for it to escape and slap him in the face with it’s tail before landing back in the mud.

It's obviously some sort of ground time, what with the mud and all, and the stunning bullshit is probably electric, so it won't be a good match for either Robin or ourselves.
Besides, Vance needs to get a proper battle under his belt, not just BEAR WRASSLIN crap.

You take out your Pokedex. It's a good thing it's already a hunk of junk, otherwise you might be worried about it from the mud. "StunFister, the tarp Pokemon. Its skin is strong, so it is unhurt even if stepped on by large, careless trainers. It smiles when transmitting electrolytes."

Did your Pokedex just insult you? Well, at least that sounded vaguely like it's correct. Vance is chasing it around a tree, splashing mud everywhere. Robin is doing her best to get as far away from it and Vance as possible to avoid any mess.

"Vance! Why don't you fight it?"

He continues chasing it around. "What do you think I'm trying to do?"

"With your Pokemon!" You wipe large armfuls of mud off yourself as you speak.

He stops in his tracks. "Oh, yeah. Ok." He's about to take out Machop when you catch up to him and grab his massive arm.

"Oh no. With your other Pokemon," you say, looking him in the eyes.

He nods and throws out Ursaring. The gigantic beast roars as it's released into the mud. It doesn't seem to actually mind the mud itself, just that it's being disturbed.

You try to be subtle, but you check to make sure that you're flute is within easy access and clean enough to play.

Our pokedex totally has a porygon stuck inside of it.

I think Rotom's possess motors and while our Dex might have a motor of some kind I'm not sure that's directly related to the Pokedex itself. It's probably just for the power source or a coolant fan.

Vance is kind of a dumb brick, and Robin's true skill is listening to the voices in her head.

>>29713772
We are smart, and grew up on the streets so we know how to identify threats and exploit weaknesses.
Vance is a big dumb slab of meat.

Then we can mock him afterwards.

>>29713772

He keeps trying to fight it himself. Not smart when your opponent can manipulate the elements.
>>
>>29713833

We needed Robin to explain to us what the pamphlets we got meant on type advantages.

I can accept natural aptitude and applying our street smarts to this but naturals suck at teaching, usually.
>>

So far we've pretty much bullshitted out lessons. I think we'll end up teaching shitty habits eventually

Maybe we should do a practice bout with him.

Vance is dumb as a bag of cinderblocks. He doesn't really 'get' the whole trainer thing, while Kat seems to have a pretty good aptitude for it.

Robin runs behind you to use you as a shield against the mud and wild Pokemon. "Aren't you going to give him advice?"

"Nah. This is one of those times he'll have to figure out what to do on his own." You also have no idea about what he should do either besides fight it, but you don't want to actually say that. You and Robin watch the fight.

Vance puts on his authoritative, wise attitude. "Alright Ursaring. Let's do this. Hit it with Leer!" The Ursaring glares at it's enemy, but you can't tell if it's just angry, or using the move. That seems to be it's regular expression. It glares back at Vance, but is suddendly slapped in the face by the other Pokemon. It braces itself for battle against it's newfound mortal enemy.

Vance takes this as a good sign. "Alright! I think we're on the same team now. Ursaring, use Fury Swipes!" Again, you're not sure if it's obeying Vance, or just angry, but it swipes wildly at the StunFister, or whatever it's called. Ursaring seems to be easily winning regardless of the circumstances. It quickly knocks the flopping brown Pokemon into a tree, where it bounces off and sinks into the mud.

"Good job Ursaring!" Vance pats it on the back. Ursaring then turns around and growls at him. The flopping Pokemon leaps out of the mud again and bounces off both their faces. Paws, fists, and tails fly as it turns into a threeway battle.

Ursaring strikes Vance, Vance boots the Stunfister, and the Stunfister shocks them both. Finally Vance and Ursaring seem to team up against the brown electric bastard and knock it out in a coordinated strike. Vance pants and puts his hand on Ursarings shoulder, "Whoo. Good job buddy." It glares at him, but doesn't try to rip his throat out, which Vance takes as progress. He still returns Ursaring before it changes it's mind though.

Robin peers over your shoulder. "Is it over yet? Did he die?"

Har har. Vance at least seems happy to have gotten a fight in, even if it's not entirely what you intended. Your party gathers up and continues onward. Nobody seems interested in catching the annoying Pokemon. There's still a short while before you'll arrive. You might as well make some conversation.

"Great job Vance!" You slap him on the back. "Did you learn something useful?"

"I learned that an opponent isn't down until it's down." He takes your question seriously, like a test.

"Vance, what's your goal as a martial artist? What do you want to work on specifically?"

He considers his answer carefully. "I want to start my own dojo some day. I don't feel like I know enough to be teaching others though." You look away for a brief second. "Short term improvements? You saw how that Pokemon surprised me with it's electricity, and how Ursaring managed to land blows. I guess I want to learn how to read my opponents better."

"I think that's a really neat goal!" Robin says. Normally you might be a little jealous about how enthusiastic she said that, but she might just be admiring his dedication to a chosen path. She's still not sure what she wants to do after all.

You flick off some more mud. "So, either of know anything about Chloroville, or the gym?"

Vance turns to you. "I've only been here for a meditation class. It was really great though."

"Meditation class? From an older man, with a turban? Wispy white hair?" Robin's eyes open in surprise. Vance nods in the affirmative. "Master Sato?"

"How did you know? Vance asks.

"He's the gym leader in Chloroville. I'd watch his fights for my dad." She pauses, sighs, and continues, "He was always meditated between battles." Robin turns to you know, since this is information you'll probably want. "He doesn't push his Pokemon hard at all, but don't take him lightly. He specializes in controlling the battlefield. His gym is covered in grass, but he keeps a glass ceiling to let in sunlight when he needs it. He rarely tries to beat his opponents, he just let's them beat themselves on the field."

Sounds like he's a smart guy. You hope this isn't too hard.

"What about the city in general?" You change the subject back to the original question to hide your anxiety. "Any cool stuff to do?"

Both Robin and Vance list off a variety of locations they've heard of but never visited. Karaoke clubs, casinos, coordinator shows. Seems like there's a lot if you have the money. As you finish the final leg towards Chloroville and find the main road again. You're amazed at the tall buildings and bright lights. The tall trees of the local swamps hid them pretty well.

It's like stepping through time. The wet, boggy smell recedes and finds itself replaced with the smell of pavement and buildings and all the other city smells that people who live here probably don't even notice anymore. The main streets are busy with people in the evening rush. You catch your reflection in the mirror and almost wince at how dirty you and your clothes are. You see a dirty little street rat staring back at you.

That’ll change when you get your badge though.

Maybe you’re thinking too hard on this. Vance and Robin both have some mud on them too and they don’t look like they’re having self-image issues.

The nearest Pokemon center is at the base of a tall building. The sign on the window shows that nothing is free here. Showers, beds, and even food are cheap, but not free. That makes sense you suppose. It’s a major city and they probably don’t have any shortage of trainers.

At least one thing is always free. The nurse takes your Pokemon. Vance and Robin hand theirs over as well. The nurse doesn’t even talk to you. She just takes them and a number pops up on a nearby display: 3 hours.

You look around the center. There are a lot of people here, but not THAT many. The shop is enormous. There are all sorts of Pokemon related items, and some overpriced gifts and trinkets too. Even a good sized food section.

You still have half the money the Kindletown museum gave you and the winnings from that battle you won on the way. A decent, but not extravagant amount.

This Pokecenter has a wider range of items than the other one. Great balls, Nest balls, Net balls. Super Potions, and more.

“Shower time!” You grab Robin’s hand gleefully and start taking her to the showers. Vance gives that same awkward look that he gave when he asked about your relationship. “You better get washed up too, Vance. You’re filthy.” With a wink, you’re off.

This Pokemon center only has small private showering that operate on payment. You and Robin swipe your cards and get adjacent showers. At least it depenses nice smelling soaps and shampoos.

Robin quietly calls out to you from her stall, "Robin?" Once again you remember that she calls you that when you two are alone.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry."

You must have had water in your ears. She's sorry? "What for?"

You can see her feet under the stall. She's stopped moving. "I'm sorry I gave you a hard time for taking that fossil. It wasn't right. I was mad that you didn't tell me the whole story, and still upset over my dad. That doesn't mean I have the right to tell you how to live your life and who to be though. That's no different from me forcing Eevee to evolve or acting like my dad."

You're shower timer runs out. You'll put more money in it in a second. "Does that mean you don't mind if I steal?"

"Well, I don't approve, but I don't want you to think I won't be friends with you because of that. I'd rather just disagree with you over it but still be friends than have you resent me for forcing you to be someone else."

>"So 'who I am' is just a thief?"
>Promise not to steal again
>Promise not to steal except from bad people or in desperate times
>"That's OK. I won't try to change you from being a nerd." (playful)
>Something else

>>29715636
Sorry. I think you should do it if you have the itch though. Don't worry about overlap or anything else, do what you're passionate about!

"That's OK. I won't try to change you from being a nerd." You tease her. Robin's laughter reverberates in your stall. "I promise I won't steal anything unless it's from a bad person, or a really desperate situation. Whatever happens though, I won't lie to you. How's that sound?"

"...That sounds nice." Robin says. You can only see her feet, but you can tell a lot of tension has left her body. An evil thought crosses your mind. You slip under the barrier and invade her stall. The tension you saw slip away return with force.

"Wh-What are you doing?" Robin asks. Her body tenses and turns red. Her entire body.

"Stealing water of course," you joke. She gives you as much of 'the look' as she can muster at the moment, which just comes off as silly. "What?" You manage. "This is desperate. I need you to get the knots out of my hair." You turn around. Without her looking at your face, you let your evil smirk return.

Robin tries to be indifferent and lets out a forced sigh. "Oh, alright." She massages your scalp. There are a few painful pulls here and there, but otherwise this is heaven. You're eyes roll back and drift aimlessly, until they see the ground, and your vague, puddled reflection in the water.

"Robin?"

"Sorry, It's pretty rough. That mud got in deep."

"No not that." You're surprised at how much you have to struggle to keep your voice from cracking. "Robin...do you think I'll ever be more than a street rat and a thief?

Her hands stop. She takes them out of your hair and then puts them on your shoulder and spins you around to face her. "You helped me find Eevee. You helped me find enough courage to stand up to dad and be a better trainer by not forcing what he wanted on Eevee. You're not a street rat or a theif to me. We haven't even known each other that long and already you're the best, most important person in my life." She maintains eye contact, inches away. You feel a huge mix of emotions. Maybe even-

The shower stops suddenly. There's only the sound of dripping now. It's just too much. You quickly grab the card behind her and swipe it through the machine again, turning the water on.

"Gah! This soap in my eyes!" You say, rubbing your eyes furiously. Robin tries to tell you it's supposed to be a 'no-tears' formula, but you somehow convince her it's just irritating them.

You both meet Vance back at the lobby and grab a surprisingly decent meal in the cafeteria, despite how it looks. Vance goes back for seconds and thirds before paying for you both over Robin's protests. There's still a decent amount of time before your Pokemon will be ready.

You tell Robin and Vance that you want to go have some fun at the casino! They both agree heartily. It's the Thunder Road Casino a few blocks down the road.

That reminds you. "Robin, can you take a look at this stone? I think it's a thunderstone."

She takes it from you and looks it over for a second. "Yup! This would turn a Pikachu into a Raichu, or an Eevee," she pauses. "It would turn an Eevee into a Jolteon." She becomes lost in her own world, thinking on that subject. She doesn't exhibit any particular emotion, she just looks lost in thought.

You turn to Vance. "So Vance, how did you meet Machop anyway?"

"Oh, that's a funny story. My family runs a gym in Braundalin. Not a Pokemon gym, but a gym that allows Pokemon." You nod. "Every day Machop would come in first thing and start pumping iron. Not iron pills mind you, but lifting weights." Yeah, you got that. You nod again. "Anyway, we thought he belonged to a local trainer. We asked around and nobody knew him. Eventually we just sort of adopted him." You guess some Pokemon just choose their trainers. "Don't you guys think it's weird we can just go to a casino here?" Vance changes the subject.

It brings Robin back into the real world though. "Other regions let people even younger than us into casinos. It must be strange to go to one of these places and interact with a bunch of young kids. Then again, you don't have to be very old to start out as a trainer either."

As she says that, you arrive at the door. Vance holds it open for you and Robin. The sights and sounds are just amazing. There are servers with trays diving between customers, delivering drinks. There are machines blinking and plinking, even tables with various card games. In one corner there are people placing bets on Pokemon matches being broadcast on television.

You see that besides just being able to cash out, there are some prizes too.

You eyes scan over the prize tables. Smaller prizes include Pokedolls, Pokeballs, potions, and an assortment of little trinkets not relating to Pokemon.

Bigger prizes include Great and Ultra balls, Super Potions and things like that. There are some other items like perfumes and cheap jewelery, clothes and household items, things like that

The big prizes include actual Prosapia Corporation Pokemon. The list says there are Scythers, Dratinis, Wobuffets, Abras, and others. There's even a brand new Pokedex.

"What's Prosapia?" You ask to Robin.

"It's a company that makes Pokemon equipment like the Devon corporation or Silph co. The also sell rare Pokemon." Oh.

There the regular out cashout option too of course. Nothing like good old plain money

Blackjack is probably your best shot. You used to dominate this game back at the orphanage. You only bet candy, but you were never short on it. You pull up a seat and eye your competition. To your left is a middle aged lady complaining about her job to nobody in particular. Probably blowing off steam. To your right is a clearly drunk business man, loudly joking around.

You cautiously play small bets. After a few hands you come out with a small gain. You haven't won much, but you are winning.

You're on a roll. Let's do this thing!

You keep a close eye on your fellow players, the dealer, and most importantly the cards. You don't really have the head for the card counting stuff, but you do your best to maintain a good idea of how the odds ebb and flow in and out of your favor.

You destroy the next few rounds. You maximize the bet you made and come out expanding your small bet into a nice, big pool.

"That's just how I wanted to end my day!" The middle aged woman excuses herself after losing the rest of her money. Two other players take her spot.

The drunk business man leans over a little uncomfortably close. "Well, it looks like Lady Luck is your best friend tonight," he slurs. Luck has nothing to do with it.

You have enough for a bigger prize and a little change. The biggest prizes are just a little beyond your current winnings though.

Robin and Vance are getting into this even more than you are. A small crowd is gathering to watch as you just massacre the rest of the table. You don't show off though, you're focused, careful. You know how fickle these things can be. At least, they usually are. You tune out the crowds and just keep trying to concentrate. You get another 21. Then another. You're on fire.

Which makes this the perfect time to stop. Your winnings are massive. There's nowhere to go from down from here. You put down the cards, thank your fellow players, and gather your winnings from the table. The crowd voices their disappointment, but you don't care. You won big time!

Vance pats you on the back, nearly knocking you over. "I can't believe how lucky you are! That was amazing!"

"Me? Lucky? Oh no. I don't 'do' luck. That was all skill." To prove your point, you take out a coin and put it in the nearest slow machine. You win a small jackpot. If this is how the universe wants to prove you wrong, you're totally fine with that. "OK, so maybe it was a little luck."

Robin and Vance help you collect the winnings as it's just barely enough to be spilling onto the floor. As you get to your feet, you notice two men in suits approach. They're intimidating, but not nearly as much as they would be if you didn't have just as much muscle packed onto one convenient Vance.

"It seems you've had quite a successful night. Why don't you retire to one of our complimentary suites for the evening, and enjoy the other amenities that the Thunder Roads Casino offers?"

It's not being Jewish, it's being smart with your money. I don't know what kind of world Pokemon is outside of the game mechanics, but blowing our money when it could be put to better use (like, say, repairing the Fossil machine in exchange for a percentage of all future uses, or free use for ourselves) seems like a better use. We fill our bellies once, or generate a reliable stream of income OR save ourselves donations when we find fossils to revive. Long-term planning vs. short-term, and if that makes me Jewish, shalom you broke-ass dumbfuck.

You look at your companions. Robin looks a little overwhelmed at the situation. Vance, to his credit, has clearly positioned himself between you and them.

"That sounds great!" You grab the keycard from on the men's hands. "We'll head up there later on. My friends and I want to do a little celebrating first though. Come on guys, let's head over to the karaoke lounge." Like a streetwise gambler, you know when to walk away. Vance and Robin follow you closely.

"What was that about?" Robin asks.

"I didn't even cheat or steal or anything!" You say, throwing your hands up. "That's how they all are. You actually start winning their games, even by their own rigged rules, and they try to buy you off or beat you down!"

"Uh, okay Kat." Robin says. Poor sheltered Robin. She just doesn't get it. Surely Vance knows what you're talking about, right? You glance over to him. He's giving you a patronizing look.

It's a good thing you just won big, or you might be upset. You arrive at the prize desk. You might as well collect before heading to the karaoke lounge.

Seems like a close contentious one. Since this isn't the kind of vote that combines easy and has some fairly big ramifications, let's strawpoll this sucker to avoid any multiple voting issues.

http://strawpoll.me/1060827

>>29719612
One big prize a moderate amount leftover
>>
>>29719710
Most people in this thread are idiots who have barely played Pokemon and are looking each new one posted here up on Bulbapedia and going with whether it looks cool or not.

And even better it doesn't look stupid fully evolved!

I'm thinking this needs a tiebreaker number only vote.

I actually prefer Seadra to Kingdra, but Kingdra is still better than Dragonite.

It's really easy to cheat strawpoll you know
you're better off giving each choice a number, and restricting voting to just a post link and the number for five minutes to prevent samefagging or cheating

That's even easier to samefag, I can do it without having to look up proxies. I don't know why people think this method still works.

Yeah let's do a second strawpoll for Abra or Dratini, Final Destination.

Having two dragons is not a bad thing. Plus, Destiny won't be a dragon for a long, long time, and even then doesn't get the coverage options that Dragonite has.

Abra is just more useful, I love Dratini, but Abra just brings more to the table.

I'd guess short ranges, I doubt we could jump cities but we can probably escape trouble easily, get out of a cave, or teleport up/down a cliff

A few hundred meters would be a decent range for it. Maybe even a kilometer once its fully evolved, but that's pushing it. Teleport always seemed like a short hop in the series.

We should teach Abra minimize for sneaking

First we'd need to teach it how to defend itself. Hidden Power or Psyshock would be a good choice.

Yeah. I think we should go to the library while we're in town too, and do some reasearch on pokemon moves. Maybe write up a list of all the moves our pokemon could possibly learn

Oh right, I guess pokecenters do have that.

Seems like a nice gesture coming from brokeass us. Only suggest it if she shows interest, though.

If it's 'well-bred', maybe it already knows some moves? Back in gen 2 my IcePunching Abra wrecked shit.

Otherwise, we could ask this Gym leader guy to teach him Special Grass moves. I think they can learn Grassnot and Energyball?

Sadly, with the Physical/Special split in Gen IV, Elemental Punch Abra line is now worthless.
