Fuck yes, Charmander quest.

Once a few more people get here, I will start my livestream channel up with some pokemon movies.

/zeonquest/old is the channel.

>>7556848

Is there any more crap we can learn from the galactic people?

>>7556918
Probably; what do you want to ask?

>>7556935

Did they know anything more about team rocket and what exactly they were doing in that sea base?

>>7556947
You ask Sarina to relay this to the Galactic guy. He shrugs again, saying that Galactic only knew through Aqua that Rocket had a base there at all.

>>7556971

We need moar people.

whoa, good timing, just came online.

>>7557027
We do. You can't think of anything?

>>7557052

I am honestly more of a lurker than a poster most of the time, but I try to do what I can. Also, gonna start up the movie in a minute or two. Gona start off with lucario and the mystery of mew.

*phew*
I was wondering when this would start up again.

Ok. Now that there are atleast two others, I am gonna start the movie up. Get in the channel! /zeonquest/old

Wait, are we doing the quest in the channel? I hope not...

>>7557105
Certainly not to my knowledge. I'm staying here, unless I'm tremendously outvoted.

>>7556971
not much to do right now really. have a little chat with snover and magnemite about the plan from the last thread while Serena debriefs. then we can let her know about our plan and try to get our help
the other option is to run away into the base and try to set the plan running without her help (as we're not sure if she would approve, and could even try to stop us)

>>7557105

Quest does not happen in the livestream. Livestream is just relevant content to the quest at hand.

Alright, how about this:
I need a shower and some snacks to prepare for this - these threads tend to last a while. Would it be possible for you guys to watch the movie first and then we start once it's over? It'd mean a lot to me.

>>7557150
it takes you a whole movie to have a shower and get food?
voting for just going slowly until you get back (now that we go very fast without your insight anyway)

>>7557150
I'm open to this if other people are.

Its up to you guys. Movie is ready to go once someone other than myself enters the channel. I am used to streaming movies/shows while threads go on. Fills people's time while OP thinks, or is afk.

Also, the intro to the movie I am showing is pretty fucking sweet.

>>7557231
I'm going for a bit anyway. I'm walking over to the library.

Bamp for more people.

All right, I'm back. Do people want to begin?

>>7557816

I think /co/mrade is still AFK, but I suppose we might be able to start.

>>7557845
In that case, perhaps not yet. I found a way to fix my computer's slowdown, but the slowdown's hit me again, so I"m going to experiment with making it go away.

>>7557887
I'm here again. Are my participants?

>>7557887

Play around. We will be sure to say somthing when comrade gets back.

>>7558057

Atleast one person is here. Not sure about anyone else.

Cleaned, dressed, snacks/drinks at the ready, comfy chair established.

LET'S DO THIS THING, FUCK YEAH!

>>7558093

Now that you are here... We need to make the decision on weather or not we allow Sarina to become our trainer.

>>7558102
Yes indeed... I think I can answer most of your questions about this, if any.

>>7558102
We trust Sarina as a Human, but considering our past and the way the character has been motivated/portrayed up to this point, I don't think we would trust anyone to be our "trainer" - at least not yet.

We'll "partner" with Sarina and work with her as a member of the Fellowship, but for now I think Charmander, Snover and Magnemite should be free.

>>7558117

Well, I am pretty sure she would accept us, however, we players need to come to a consensus about weather this is the direction we wish to take the quest.

>>7558119

OK, I would agree with this assessment. Free for now, and we can make any such desicions in the future, should things change one way or another.

You there Tits?

All right, we seem to have a consensus on joining Sarina. What'll your next action be?

>>7558194

Go to her organizations HQ in the city I can't remember...

>>7558194
Is there anything that Sarina needs to do at her base before she leaves?

>>7558204
>>7558212
I think (I could be wrong) that I mentioned before that Team Nightfall doesn't have a single HQ.

>>7558235

Or was it her house or somthing?

We are in veilstone, and there was another place after that that sarina was planning on going to or somthing.

>>7558249
Her original plan was to go back home, but you people might have a different idea.

>>7558259
We'll go with Sarina to her home then

>>7558259

Eh, i think going to pastoria would be fine for now. (I went and looked it up in the last thread). We might be able to have some individual adventures around there that are level appropriate.

>>7558270
but there had better be plot twists!

I was pondering over this quest a while ago, and suddenly remembered that Magneton from before that gave off a signal, similar to the one the kamikaze Porygons gave off.
That made me fear for Magnetons safety, as we can not be certain that she is immune to the corruption of the BBEG.
We should probably ask her if there are any ways to protect her from something like that.

>>7558311

Magnemite you mean?

>>7558270
>>7558274
Righto. Sarina finishes up and the group leaves the building, saddling up on the motorcycle again. As you drive away, you see a Magneton gliding away to the south, to which Magnemite's gaze immediately rivets.

>>7558326

FFFFFF...

It seems the magneton is the secret of transporting stuff for the BBEG

>>7558326
"Magnemite, is that the same Magneton you saw over the department store yesterday?"

>>7558326
signal franticly for serina to stop, we're probably not going to give pursuit or anything, but magnemite could do with a good look, and possibly might be able to float up to the same hight and have a chat

>>7558337
"Not the same... it's not carrying the same signal as before, either. Not quite..."

>>7558357
"Signal?"

>>7558381
"It's weaker, but... it's giving off a distinct signal that I don't recognize. But it was present in the Magneton from Lilycove."

>>7558411
"Magnemite...have you felt this 'signal' anywhere else?"

>>7558435

Second.

>>7558435
>>7558439
"No, I haven't heard this distinct signal before. Certainly not enough to tell what it's going to."

>>7558465
float up and chat if possible

>>7558465
"Alright then, nevermind I said anything. But, if you sense it again, let me know. That's the second time we've seen one flying by itself that high - and it's making me suspicious."

>>7558471

Odd idea... Could end with info, but could also end in pain.

Eh, lets go for it.

>>7558471
>>7558493
Sarina is still riding the bike! If we tell Magnemite to go talk to it, we might lose him. Also, there'd be no reason to talk to a random Pokemon passing by at this point.

If this is the second time we've seen one flying overhead, then we'll most likely see one again. I say we proceed to ride with Sarina.

>>7558471
>>7558493
You ask Sarina to stop the bike, and she does. Magnemite floats up to Magneton.
Take control of Magnemite now: Y/N?

>>7558520
Whoops, I moved a bit too soon. I suppose I should ask for consensus here, unless you just want to go with it.

>>7558524
nah, let's keep the charmander POW only theme so far, we just see whats happening from down here.

>>7558543

I agree. We are charmander, and the other mons are just our friends whom we have no direct control over.

>>7558532
I'm of the STRONG opinion that we just keep riding and ask it questions if we see it again. Seeing it twice is a coincidence - seeing it a third time is reason for suspicion. Besides, if something happens to Magnemite up there, we won't be able to help it.

>>7558565
splitting the party up = AWESOME!

>>7558571
regardless, keeping on riding fits more well with the theme of the quest, i agree with /co/mrade

>>7558571
You sir, are a madman.

>>7558565
>>7558571
Hm. I'll wait for consensus, then.

>>7558565

Hmm... This seems a logical choice. Three strikes. Also, don't want to loose a friend, either by death or just being lost.

>>7558586
Keep riding, tell Magnemite to keep his eye open for another Magneton. If he sees another one, then we'll know something's up.

>>7558613
All right. Magnemite comes back down, and the bunch of you ride away on the motorcycle. So you ride, ride ride, ride ride ride, ride ride ride ride, until finally you arrive in the swampy, rainy Pastoria City. The Magneton, who was following more or less your path the whole way south, keeps on flying out over the sea when you turn right at the coast.

>>7558642
Swampy and rainy, eh?
I suspect water, bug, grass and poison types may be nearby... Keep going.

>>7558666

My metagame powers also tell me this is where the safari zone equivalent is.

>>7558688
Duly noted

>>7558710
OH GOD IT'S THE BBEG! HE'S BEGUN HIS ATTACK!

>>7558666
You pull into the city itself. Finally, you stop in front of a house, which is apparently Sarina's, as she get off her bike and walks inside, beckoning you to follow.

Also, I'll find it very helpful if you have a place you want to go after this.

>>7558704

Also, bulbapedia is your friend if you need info. Its a very well put together wiki.

>>7558729
We follow Sarina inside her home.

(I think the swampy area and the city would be good areas for some quest opportunities)

>>7558758

Yah, we might be able to pay a visit to the great marsh national park. Hopefully, the places humans aren't allowed into.

>>7558765
OH GOD NOT AGAIN!

>>7558769

of course, on that note, we s hould ask sarina where she thinks we might be able to go explore *nudge nudge*

>>7558758
Honestly, I doubt anything interesting'll happen here; Sarina will probably just take a nap for a while, and then you'll be off to wherever you want to go.

>>7558800
(I'm sure you can think of SOMETHING. A side quest of some sort that'll give us an opportunity to gain XP, find a new ally or discover clues)

>>7558800

So, we should go explore in sarina's back yard? Or maybe even go to the great marsh park?

>>7558800
>>7558825
Oh wait, you meant inside Sarina's home. I've got something to discuss with her anyway before she goes to sleep.

>>7558845
Ah, what did you want to tell her?

>>7558865
"Sarina, that marking on your clothing - the humans had the same markings on theirs. Does it mean anything?"

>>7558892
"That? That just identifies me as a member of Team Nightfall. All the various Teams have uniforms like this of some kind."

>>7558922
"Hmmm, I see... The others and I are going out to explore the area - maybe we can find some clues that can help us on our quest. When we return, I would like you to teach me these markings. I have a strange feeling I've seen ones like them before..."

>>7558961

Second. We should go have some backyard adventures or somthing.

Aaaand I'm all caught up. Charmander Quest, yay!

>>7558961
This.

>>7558961
>>7558972
>>7558996
Right. The three of you head outside, into the city. Although it's less of a city than a town; the buildings are rather spread out and there aren't any particularly tall ones. It's rather overcast now, and the streets are fairly empty.

Did you want to head to the Great Marsh?

>>7559019

That seems the logical choice.

>>7559019
What is the Great Marsh?

>>7559019
First we ask if Seviper and Sableye would like to join us, or if they want to explore somewhere in particular on their own. I doubt that two LVL 29-30 Pokemon want to go level-grinding with 3 that haven't reached LVL 10 yet.

>>7559048

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Great_Marsh

Sort of a national park/safari zone type place. I say we should stay towards the edges and away from where the people seem to commonly travel.

>>7559059
But think of the more challenging mons we could defeat with their help!

>>7559059
Seviper and Sableye are in their Poke Balls at the moment. Do you want to wake them up?

>>7559084
Nah, let them rest.

We'll walk through the town first on the way to the Marsh, that way we might be able to find some landmarks or see something interesting before we leave.

>>7559098
As you walk through the town to what looks to be a huge gatehouse on the north end of town, you see a cluster of people wearing uniforms of pure white standing in the shade of the trees next to it. You manage to catch a glimpse of the chest of one of them, seeing a symbol that resembles a half-rised sun.

>>7559165

Hmm... if we want to pick a fight, they might be a good target. however, that seems a risky fight. We will probably do beter to sneak around and avoid them.

>>7559165
We take note of the symbol and proceed along an alternate path - staying out of sight of the Humans.

>>7559211
Do you want to travel through the gatehouse, or through the trees on the other side (not the side with the humans)?

>>7559234

Through the trees.

>>7559234
Trees. Pray to god we don't encounter any hums; without a pass we have no way to prove we're not just regular wild pokemon.

>>7559242
>>7559264

>>7559242
>>7559264
>>7559283
You successfully sneak through the trees, ultimately entering the marsh. As you enter, you can feel the air get noticeably damper. Right now, it seems to be empty of humans.

>>7559321
Walk back and forth in a straight line. Wait for random encounters.

>>7559355
One protip: Walking through the mud might be risky if you fall into one of those sinking patches or get knocked down at all during a fight.

>>7559321
Arrange our party as thus: Magnemite - Charmander - Snover

Magnemite will act as point-man and scout, alerting us to what's ahead. Snover will act as rear-guard, making sure we aren't followed. We'll be the heart, assisting either side in case of attack and allowing for us to get a better picture of our overall surroundings.

Continue through the swamp, staying close to the path beyond the trees.

>>7559381
I know, I was just kidding; walking back and forth wouldn't really find us an infinite supply of random battles.

>>7559382
This.

>>7559382
As you walk through the marsh, you see a few glimpses of Pokemon walking or swimming through the muddy areas, but they don't pay you any attention. Eventually, however, Snover nudges you, whispering to you that you're being followed by one of the white-clad people from before.

>>7559462

...

Damn.

Prepare to engage!

>>7559462
Tell Snover to keep her eyes on the Human, but don't let them know we know they're there. Then, whisper to Magnemite to hide in the bushes and sneak around behind the Human. If/when we give him the signal, knock him out!

>>7559476
>>7559495
You do both. Snover nods, and Magnemite drifts off into a bush. The two of you remaining keep going forward, as does the man in white, although he's not actually looking at you.

>>7559538
We search around to see what he might be looking at.

>>7559552

Second

>>7559567
Oh god. Mongler, is that you?

>>7559552
Agreed.

>>7559552
>>7559567
He appears to be watching the marsh. However, as he approaches you, he suddenly shifts his gaze to Snover and throws a Safari Ball at her, hitting her. Luckily, after struggling for a few seconds, she breaks free.

>>7559592
Give Magnemite the signal! ZAP HIS ASS!

>>7559604

ZAP MOTHAFUCKA

ITS BATTLE TIME

>>7559592
THE FUCK DID HE JUST TRY? Magnemite, shock him!

>>7559604
>>7559615
>>7559620
Magnemite does indeed do this. The man in white gives a cry of, ahem, shock and is knocked over, landing on his face and twitching slightly.

>>7559656
Roll him over so he doesn't suffocate, then move on.

Crap, now we'll have the safari staff on our asses in no time

>>7559656
We gather around the Human and search his body - searching especially for any more Park Balls he might be carrying on him. Tell Magnemite to keep his eye open around the perimeter, in case some other Pokemon or Human might be coming.

As long as he is still breathing when we leave.

>>7559668
>>7559686
He's got nineteen more Park Balls on him, but nothing else. He's at least still breathing.

>>7559714
Is there anywhere we can throw the Park Balls where they won't be found?

>>7559714
We give the Park Balls to Magnemite

(Okay guys, what should we do now? Do we leave this guy behind, or do we stick around until he wakes up and give him a tongue lashing for trying to catch our friend?")

>>7559736

He probably won't understand us. So we should probably keep going.

>>7559736
Doubt he'll understand. Will all 19 of the balls fit on Magnemite though? Why not just bury them in the mud?

>>7559754
Alright, good point. But we probably shouldn't just leave him without making sure he gets out alright - that would upset Snover. How about we go a safe distance away where we can watch him when he wakes and leaves?

>>7559780
Up to the GM. What say you, GM - can Magnemite carry 19 Park Balls?

>>7559795
Even when shrunken, they'd be a significant burden, and some might get into its eye.

>>7559825
I say throw them away.

>>7559825
Then let's carry 5 and hide the others.

>>7559833

>>7559832
>>7559833
>>7559858
You do that while Magnemite looks on. Snover continues looking at the human, rather worriedly, before looking up at you. "Wh-what now?"

>>7559898
"We'll hide in the tall grass for a bit to make sure he gets up alright, then be on our way."

>>7559922
>Hide in the tall grass.

>>7559922

Rogue pokemon ambushing trainers? Is this what the quest is about?

>>7559714

Use the Park Balls up so they come and get him (come on, like this kinda thing doesn't happen anyway?)

To be safe, drag him to someplace Pikachu are known to inhabit so they don't get curious...

>>7559922
>>7559947
You do this. The man eventually gets up, patting himself down to search for his park balls; upon finding them missing, he staggers away back towards the gatehouse.

>>7559954
He ambushed us first. We're only making sure he doesn't come after us again by teaching him a lesson.

YOU HEAR THAT HUMANS? THINK YOU CAN JUST CATCH US WITHOUT US PUTTING UP A FIGHT? WELL NOT ANYMORE YOU ARROGANT BASTARDS!

JUST WHO THE HELL...DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!?!

>>7559954
In our defense, he tried to capture one of us. The jerk. And this is Charmander Quest. We're a shiny female Charmander working with a Magnemite and a Snover to stop what I theorize is Porygon-Z from taking over the world.

Eh, Pokemon was never my thing. If I can finish my writeup for tonight fast enough and run an errand in around 45 minutes, I can start HANA two hours early.

>>7559990
We look to Magnemite and Snover.
"That was excellent teamwork. With more training, we can defend ourselves from ANYONE that would try to separate us."

>>7560002

Pic related.

But a hybrid with something else.

>>7560024
Wonderful.

>>7560025
If you still want me to keep track of our stats, I'll need to know how much we gain on average each level. And I have no idea how Natures work.

>>7560026
A human girl/charmander hybrid? I'm so confused.

>>7560025
Snover sighs a bit and nods, while Magnemite just nods. The human vanishes into the gatehouse.

Still, just being inside a Pokéball at all is a clise call imo, since it COULD catch one of us.

>>7560063
see
>>7560052

Do we get any XP for this feat? Do you want to set up some sort of monetary system for how much XP we need to LVL up, or do you want to just wing it?

>>7560093
As of now, I'm winging it. You don't level up for this, primarily because you just did the equivalent of taking out a level 1 Pokemon. However, I'll put in some experience for the whole Poke Ball thing.

>>7560093
I think he was going to wing it; remember when we all leveled up twice after escaping the lab? And he said he didn't want to deal with actual stats.

But he may have changed his mind since then.

We should acquire some pokeballs of various quality and practice breaking out of them, have the others do so as well.
Also, practice breaking out while someone is pressing down+B, but that may be impossible.

>>7560115
Okay then, we reform the party from before and continue parallel to the main path

>>7560132
DEFINITELY like this idea. I knew those Park Balls would come in handy.

>>7560136
You go on like this. As you do, Magnemite swivels upward; apparently, a Magneton is drifting by overhead.

>>7560178
Ask Magnemite if it's giving off that weird signal. If it is we should probably go back to Sarina and warn her.

>>7560178
That's Strike 3, Magneton!

"Magnemite, is it the same one from before? Does it have the same 'signal'?"

>>7560115

Since we're not bothering with stats, we can go by the "level is a modifier" thing.

So..if we were gonna try and break out of a regular pokeball as a level 6, that would be D20+6 against a DC of about 15.

Greatball would be a DC of about 30, and it goes on-plus those specialized pokeballs for capturing specific types or weights or whatever.

Plus it gets us new abilities as we continue to go. Are we going on the "4 moves only" system?

>>7560060

That's Rotom, a computer virus pokemon.

>>7560199
"It is; it's carrying the weaker signal from before."

>>7560220
"Then we must get back to Sarina and warn her!"

>>7560220
"Alright friend, I think something's going on with these Magneton we've been spotting. Go up there and see if you can find out what's going on - but keep your distance. And be CAREFUL."

And now comes the cliffhanger. I'm leaving to eat dinner, and possibly do other things. I will be back later this evening, though, and make a new thread. Feel free to discuss this one amongst yourselves here, I enjoy reading those.

>>7560274
Any idea how long we can expect you to be gone before you come back?

Here, have some happy.

Here, for you Comrade as i herd you liek Abras.

>>7560437

>>7560291
Something that I've learned from studying up on ourselves and our team mates, and wanted to share so that everyone else knows:

Magnemite has the strongest Special Attack out of all of us, more then half again what we have. His HP is very low however, though he has pretty good Defense and decent Sp. Defense. His Attack is about as bad as his HP.

Snover seems to be a jack-of-all-trades, having most of her stats hovering within 10 points of each other. She does have the lowest speed out of all of us, but also the highest HP and with her Sp. Defense and decent Defense can take much more of a hit than Magnemite.

As for us? Well, we actually have the lowest base stats out of the bunch, but we have good Attack and even better Sp. Attack, though our Defense and Sp. Defense suffers. Our speed is top notch.

everyone loves eevee.

>>7560524
Magnemite: Archer
Snover: Cleric
Charmander: Fighter

sound about right?

>>7560549
Yep. Though since she doesn't have any healing, I'm thinking of Snover as more of a Bard.

>>7560591
Hmm, but bards are really wimpy when it comes to HP...
Maybe some sort of Druid?

>>7560688
Meh, sure, whatever.

I'm back. New thread: >>7561211
