Vlad begins to glow.

"What's happening?" You ask Eddie. You hide the slight tremble in your voice. "What did that Charge Beam attack do to Vlad?"

"It's alright," Robin puts her hand on your shoulder. "He's evolving."

You're mind grasps at what she said for a moment before it makes sense. You know that Pokemon evolve into different forms, everyone knows that. You've just never actually seen it happen before. That's the kind of video they should show at school. Well, they probably did, you must have skipped that day.

"Oh." It's all you mutter. You're usually quicker than that, but you're too busy concentrating on watching Vlad to put too much thought into what comes out of your mouth.

Vlad is now engulfed in a pulsing light. Even in the bright daylight, it's hard on your eyes. After a few more pulses, the light bursts outward. A creature that's obviously Vlad, but not, looks up at you. It's mouth is huge, and it's tongue is sticking out.

"I can't believe someone like that beat me." You glance at Eddie. To his credit, he doesn't seem to have meant to say that out loud. He looks mortified and covers his mouth.

The creature that is Vlad is ecstatic. He looks incredibly proud of himself. He’s still in rough shape from the battle. You embrace him in your arms and squeeze him closely. “Way to go Vlad! You were awesome. Now you’re even stronger than before!”

Vlad licks you on the face. A single lick soaks your face. Vance grabs a nearby towel then tosses it to Robin, who hands it to you. Vlad is gross, but cute. You pet him on the head. "I bet those jaws of yours could fit around Eddies fat head. What do you think, Vlad?”

Vlad looks at Eddie and opens his mouth wide. He brings his mouth closed in a quick, chomping action. You notice darkness gather around his teeth just before his mouth closes.

“I’m so sorry!” Eddie bows in apology. “I do that sometimes. My mouth is quicker than my head.” He extends his hand. “That really was a good battle. I think I something.” That actually sounded sincere.

Saturday might be back on. I'm helping someone move, but they had a work thing come up and we might just start way early in the morning Saturday, and be done around 3.

Sorry about the lack of clarity. I have very unreliable people in my personal life. On the plus side, my own job has calmed down and I won't be working every weekend and evening any more. Now I'll be able to blame alcohol for my typo mistakes and poor grammar instead of being burnt out.

No more personal blog. I'll stop now

Most likely Friday is no good. Saturday is looking like it's back on around early evening/late afternoon.

You extend a hand. "Alright. No problem. That was a good battle." His handshake is surprisingly firm and confident, like your own. Maybe that means he's trying to fake it.

"Thanks!" He says in earnest. "I'm really sorry. The last thing I want to do is look like a jerk in front of a hottie." He covers his mouth. "I-umm...Sorry!" He apologizes to you, Robin, and Vance again before taking off.

Wait, which one of you was he talking about?

You decide to head down to the healing center that Vlad mentioned before. They take your Vlad and Zappy Dan and tell you that it will only be 15 minutes. They sure are efficient. It helps that there probably isn't a big wait.

“So what’s next?” Vance asks. He pulls out a pamphlet about the ship services. Robin grabs two from a stand and hands you one.

This ship is pretty swanky. They offer specialized pampering for people and Pokemon* alike. There's a bar and lounge you can hang out in, although they still obey liquor laws, so that might be tricky. Sometime early in the next morning there will be an announcement for when we arrive in the Circle of Light, which is some sort of natural light show caused by the sun shining through the top of Mount Clarity to the East. After that, the ship will be making a stop along Harmony Island for a little beach getaway. There are small gift shops and ranger stations, but apparently no towns big enough to mention.

“*Offer not valid for Pokemon over a certain weight, size, or temperature.” There’s a picture of a red slug Pokemon beside a Wailord.

There is a risk of Valerie starting you down the path of sub/dom, with yourself as the dom, and Valerie as the sub.
It is an acceptable path.

Yveletal is clearly more awesome. And Y is slightly less common, so you get the edge in trading.

R/B beta had an item called the Surfboard that was dummied out.

I bet they were planning to use key items for throwing rocks / skating on ice / surfing on water / climbing rock walls / diving / swinging on ropes / teleporting between ley foci / digging / eating through walls of jello / playing 20 questions with sudowoodo / recursively inserting a bag into itself / phasing through ghostly walls / saying "LLLLEEEELLL" really loudly to annoy NPCs out of the way / flying / etc.

>>30049174
Make HMs useful in battle.
Strength, Surf, Fly, boosted Rock Smash. All great for fightan.
And then you have shit like Defog and whatever new turds Gens 5 and 6 have crapped out.

I thought they both looked silly, but if I had to go with one I suppose I pick Charizard Y.

X was about using the Pokemon of Life to commit genocide and meeting some kids from your town a couple of times. What is notably different about Y besides using the Death Pokemon?

Just so you know, it's the only HM used in competitive battling right now.

"Well, it feels like you have been following around with whatever I want for a while now. Why don't you decide?"

Robin and Vance look at each other. Neither of them expected to have to put forward any ideas. Robin speaks up first. "The spa looks like fun. I'd love to get a facial."

Surprisingly, it's Vance that giggles first. Robin turns to him. "What? What's so funny? You should get one too!"

Now you lose it. Robin is completely confused.

"Alright, alright. A massage does sound nice." Vance admits. "I mean, relaxation is good for building muscle too."

The nurse hands you your Pokemon. You make your way to the spa as Robin tries to argue the benefits of frequent facials for skincare. The lady at front desk talks about all the services they offer. Phrases like 'exfoliation' and 'gentle microcurrent lift' come up. It goes way over your head.

You start thinking about which service you actually want. There's a lot to choose from.

"All of them!" Vance interrupts your thoughts. "Let's do it all!" Robin silently agrees behind him. You've never really been pampered, maybe it'll be nice.

"Alright." You concede. The staff take your Pokemon and lead the three of you into a back room.

"Don't worry. We have a highly specialized staff. Pokemon of all types benefit from out services." You can see them releasing your Pokemon in another room and workers begin to take measurements and discuss everything from shampoos to nail filing.

Vance looks tense. "About Ursaring..."

"Don't worry." The young woman puts her hand on Vance's massive chest. "We can make even the biggest, fiercest beasts relax."

"First we'll want you to relax. Please take take off your clothes and lie down on the tables." The staff leave the room and room. There are towels and robes, and a a variety of curtains to change behind. Robin and Vance each make their way behind a curtain and begin changing.

I agree about HMs being a bad mechanic, but Gen 5 and 6 got a ton better about it. They took most of them out. Now if only they would change Fly, it's the only still "required" one that's useless in battle.

>>30049285
Yeah they look silly. I actually prefer X simply because there aren't enough Dragon/Fire Pokemon out there. Honestly, you'd think that would be a more common combination

>>30049412
They have different types too?
I was just looking at the physical, I don't plan on using any of those mega thingies

>>30049412
I'm thankful it isn't a more common combination, because it's really really good. They cover each others' weaknesses very well. X is stronger, Y is cooler.

>>30049447
No, anon.

>>30049449
Different types, abilities and stat distribution, yeah. Y is still Fire/Flying.

>>30049407
Yeah, it should let you choose which move to hit with on the second turn.

>>30049484
Well, Dragon/Fire sounds preferable, but Y still looks better.

>>30049505
That he does. By the way, he's still pretty strong even with that typing.

True. Lets be honest, Charazard doesn't need to look any different to become a Fire/Dragon

"You two are so shy." You strip in the middle of the room. It's not like they can see you behind the curtain anyway. You cover yourself in a towel. "You can come out any time."

Vance comes out wearing a pink robe. "It was the only one in my size."

Robin appears right after. Her robe is way too big on her. She looks like a child wearing her parents clothes. She laughs at Vance "It really brings out your feminine side!" She must have caught on that you and Vance were teasing her, even if she doesn't know exactly what about.

Vance rolls his eyes. "Robin, tell me more about facails."

You join in. "Yes Robin. Please do. Do you get facials often?" You and Vance try to hide your snickering.

Robin puts her finger on her mouth. "I wish! If it were up to me, I'd get them every day!" It's really hard to keep it in now.

"Maybe you just need to be more forward. I'm sure if you let people know you wanted facials so badly, lots of guys would help you out." You look at Vance as you say that. He's letting out small snorts now, barely able to contain himself.

"What's so funny?" Robin looks at both of you. "What are you even-" Robin turns red as it finally sinks in. "You guys!" She punches Vance in the arm, them comes for you.

The staff members return. "I'm glad to see everyone is already relaxing. Please face down and we'll begin."

You lie down on the table. You can't help but feel exposed and vulnerable. The sound of the massuse readying the lotion is unnerving too. Maybe this was...oh. Ooohh~. This was a great idea.

You see Vance and Robin looking equally relaxed. The masseuse working on Vance has to put her entire body into it to get anywhere.

Robin's eyes are closed, but she asks you a question. "Guys, how are we going to pay for this?"

Now she asks.

>>30050197

I can see needing a special license for it, but otherwise, sure. I mean, the casinos do it.

>>30050197
I'd assume it depends on the person, they have breeders doing the same thing after all, look at the Casino.
If you act like a prick and treat the pokemon like an object you'll probably be frowned upon, but if you treat em with respect I'd imagine you'll be fine.

>>30050197

"Ain't no thing, sugar-pie. Momma's got her girls covered." Vance takes that in good humour and let's out a relaxed laugh. Robin smiles at your mangled accent. "Just don't expect this to be a habit." You warn. Vance and Robin let out mumbled thanks as they enjoy their massage.

You melt. Is this what pampering really is? You always assumed it was just some waste of money that rich people did to make themselves feel important or something. This is divine.

The massage ends and the three of you are escorted into a different room with various chairs. You see most of your Pokemon are there. Devon is getting brushed and laying on the floor. Raistlin is getting a tail and ear massage. To your surprise, even Vance's Ursaring is relaxing as staff work on it's claws. Vance let's out a sigh of relief.

They give you pedicures, and manicures, and anti-aging wraps and a million other things you have no idea about but feel great.

One of the staff comes around with a bucket of wax "And now we'll just take care of the hair removal. Try to relax. Hold onto the sides of your beds if you need to grab onto anything."

Wait, hair removal? Why are Vance and Robin tensing up? How bad could it be? You feel warm wax pour over your body. This feels nice, they're just b-

That last part may have been terrible, but you have to admit you look fantastic. You inspect all of your Pokemon and they're looking great too. Vlad's tongue is hard to dodge before you put it back in his Pokeball.

You shimmy in your clothes. You feel so smooth and clean. You've felt all sorts of ways before, sexy, trashy, confident, but never just plain pretty.

"So what's the plan now?" You see Robin wiggle a bit in her clothes too. Even Vance does it, even if he's trying to hide it.

"Food first." You announce. Everything else can wait. Robin and Vance both agree.

The buffet has every sort of food you can think of, which is impressive because you can think of a lot. All of it is great too. There's a steady stream of trays being replaced and passangers loading up their plates.

This s the life. You, Robin, and Vance sit down at a table. You catch Eddie sitting alone across the way.

"I feel so fantastic right now!" Robin stretches. Her clothes fit loosely and shift as her arms reach outwards.

"Me too." Says Vance. He's playing with Ursaring's Pokeball.

You out your hand ont he Pokeball too. "If you want to get closer with Ursaring, now is a pretty good time. She was looking relaxed back there."

"You think so?"

Robin pipes in. "Kat makes a good point. I'm sure we can find somewhere you can let her out."

Vance stands up. "Alright then! Let's do it!"

You didn't mean for right this second, but before you can protest, he drags the two of you off. You manage to grab your plate in the nick of time before you're led out of the dining area. You're pretty sure you're not supposed to take it with you, but you're too hungry and a little too spiteful to authoritative signs to care.

The three of you find a small secluded cargo room. Again, probably should be here. Oh well.

Vance let's out Ursaring. She looks around, but doesn't react. She's sniffing the air.

Vance moves closer to Ursaring. He looks back at you and Robin for guidance.

"Just do whatever feels natural. Use your best judgement."

Vance thinks for a minute, then grabs some food off of your plate. Ursaring starts paying attention.

"My food..." You say quietly. You console yourself with the fact that there's plenty more back at the buffet. You didn't realize how tired you were until after you stuffed yourself.

"Here Ursaring." Vance says. He tosses her a small bite. She chomps it out of the air, and looks at him expectently.

"Ursaring, sit." Ursaring moves towards him and tries to push her face into the food. Vance holds it back. "Ursaring, no! You'll get some after you sit."

Ursaring looks at you, like it's expecting you to change the circumstances or do something. You don't do anything.

"Ursaring, pay attention to ME." Vance says firmly. Ursaring looks at Vance, then the food. Finally, she sits down.

"Good!" He says. You doubt Ursaring would be in as good a mood if it wasn't given such a nice treatment before. "Now, I want you to shake a paw."

Ursaring looks indignant. "It's not an insult Ursaring. People shake hands to show respect." With that, Vance gets his paw. He shakes it respectfully, and feeds Ursaring the rest. After Ursaring finishes, she leans into Vance a little. He tries to scratch behind her ears, but she moves away. She doesn't growl or threaten him, but she's still standoffish.

"Alright Ursaring. That's enough for today." He returns her.

"So, what do you think?" Vance asks.

"You did good Vance. You don't need my approval though. You've got Ursarings."

Vance looks a little more confident.

The three of you walk back to the buffet. "I'm glad you didn't get mauled. It'd be a waste after getting all prettied up at the spa." You softly punch him in the arm. "But you stole my food, and that's unforgivable."

You open the door to the buffet again. There are a lot less people here now. You grab a few more items of food and shovel them onto your plate. Vance makes his way to the window, but before you and Robin follow, you make sure she sees you put a whole cherry in your mouth. After a few seconds, you produce a stem tied in a knot. "I'm very adamant about what I want to eat." The words are for Vance, but the meaning is for Robin. The color red creeps up her face until she looks like a tomato.

Vance is still looking out the window. "Huh? What was that?"

"Nothing!" Robin almost yells. "She didn't say anything!" Her voice cracks. She runs over to the windows to see what the commotion is about, and to change the subject.

"Hey. What's going on?"

You see a small group of people gathered around a Magikarp on deck.

You curse yourself for promising Robin you wouldn't steal except for certain circumstances. Chances like this don't just happen. Looking over to her, she's on her toes, bending over the window and looking out on the deck. Maybe it'll be worth it some day. Getting soft isn't all that bad you suppose.

You walk over to Vance and Robin. "Come on, let's go check it out."

As you get outside, you already here other people answering the question you were going to ask.

"It just jumped right up here. I've never seem them go so high. Usually they can only go a few feet."

As he says that, another Magikarp comes flopping onto the deck. It came from way up. People move back from where it landed. It flops.

"Jeez! The Magikarp in this lake can jump!" Someone remarks.

Some staff members push the Magikarp off the deck. They make small splashes as they hit the water.

You overhear them talking. "See? They've been doing that lately. They bounce way up into the air, and land on the deck. I've never seen that before. If they were any other Pokemon, I'd be worried about safety." That seems to be all they have to say on the subject as they walk back to what they were doing before. Their conversation changes to exchanging rumors about a captain that would invite young boys to his quarters for back rubs.

I don't think that's Splash," Robin says. "It looks like they're using a move called Bounce. Look at how high they're getting." They are jumping pretty high. Without a target on the deck, they just land on their sides or their faces. It doesn't seem to hurt them, but it's a loud noise when they land.

WHAM!

A few more flop back on deck. The ship staff that were walking away pretend not to notice. "Dude, just walk away. The captain will come along and give the job to somebody else."

"Magikrap. The Get Back Flap Jack Give Your Dog a Paddy Wack Pokemon. Magikrap and known for their ability to be as worthless as the trainers that need to look them up. It's Splash attack is said to be all-powerful, and able to crack mountains in half."

Well that's just contradictory.

You get ready to throw out a Pokemon.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Robin asks.

"I'm going to battle them. They're just going to keep bouncing back up here if we push them off."

Robin thinks for a moment. "I guess that's a good point. I feel a bit bad for them though." Just as she says that, a Magikarp comes flopping down onto the table next to her. The drinks go flying and cover her and Vance. Robin looks down at her clothes soaked in various drinks. "I feel less bad."

"Go Eevee!"

Vance joins in. "Go Machop!"

"Go Raistlin!" You say as you release your Abra. He sits there without moving.

"Use Confusion!" To your surprise, Raistlin is able to comply without any issues. He really was well bred. He sends a Magikarp flying. It's not an excessive amount of force, but that Magikarp didn't stand a chance. It hits the ground, then goes flying off the edge.

Another one comes flying down. Robin's Eevee intercepts it before it can land on Raistlin. She gives you a thumbs up and continues battling. Vance's Machop doesn't seem to be into fighting them, and just tosses them off the ledge.

"Confusion again!" You command. Raistlin defeats another Magikarp. You keep issuing orders and he keeps nailing them. They're really starting to come down now. They come flying up from the water, and after several seconds they crash into the ship.

"Robin!" You yell over the sound of flopping fish. "Why don't you catch one?"

She doesn't look all that warm to the idea. You could probably convince her though. You know how to push her buttons. It might be a good thing for her.

"Pokeball! Go!" You toss out a Pokeball against a Magikarp that Raistlin was battling. It wiggles three times and clicks without ceremony. That was really easy! You go to collect your Pokeball when it vanishes.

"What just happened!" You're extremely alarmed. How could it just disappear like that? "Raistlin! Did you do that somehow?" No reaction.

Robin comes up to you. "You don't know? You can only carry six Pokemon at a time." That's right! You knew that part. Robin continues. "Once you get more than that, any new Pokemon you catch are sent into storage at the Pokemon center. That's the main reason they have at least one PC."

It's coming back to you now. You remember something like this being mentioned when you got your license. "But how does that even work?" The logistics behind it twist your brain in a knot.

Robin tries to shout an explanation over the sounds of Magikarp hitting the deck. "It's actually really simple!" She shouts. "All that needs to happen is-"

You just smile and nod. Even if every second word wasn't being drown out, you doubt you'd be able to follow along. She looks proud of herself for being able to explain it to you.

There's only one part you want to make clear. "So it's OK? I can get Magikarp at a Pokemon center?"

Robin nods. "Yes, but you'll have to exchange another Pokemon."

Both of them are nice fits for Vance. Problem is, they are redundant.

I think Robin would like a Tyrantrum, maybe.

>>30053488
give him Trunks

>>30053488
Robin already has a Rock type and a Dragon type, why would she want one of the fossils?

>>30053453
Nah, he's strong. What do we mostly use? Status effects. He's got lots of those and is good with them. People in this world never seem to switch their Pokemon out, so leech seed should wreck them.

We should give this Magikarp to one of them, if they're interested. Otherwise it can sit in storage.

You'll have to think on that when the time comes. You and Robin go back to battling.

You're able to see Machop on the other side of the deck with Vance. Machop grabs two Magikarp and wields them like clubs, whacking away others. He's defeating them in groups, but they keep coming. They overwhelm him with numbers and the ability to use Bounce. As Machop is on his last legs, the two Magikarp he was using as clubs get loose. They bounce way up into the sky, and then come crashing down on the small Fighting type Pokemon, knocking him out.

Vance rushes over to Machop, barreling through hordes of Magikarp. "Machop! Return!". Machop vanishes in a flash of light before he's entirely buried beneath an ever increasing wave of flopping foes.

You see something else happening now too. The two Magikarp that defeated Machop begin to glow as they slide off the boat.

Robin sees it too. "Oh no..."

Two colossal beasts appear on the sides of the ship. Their wide mouths face up to the sky as they let out a mighty roar.
