So how many Gyarados do you think there are?

>>30742162
They'd be rarer, I'd say. Magikarps probably don't have a high survival rate, which would explain the need for why they're so prolific.

>>30742162

Hah, no, just kidding.

It's actually enough to make us shit our pants several times over.

Yes, finally caught this live after catching up with the archives.

Prof, I have a question: I assume the world itself is still laid out the same, since Kanto, Johto, Mt. Silver, and all that are still a thing, right? If so, where exactly is the Kanto Dome located, assuming that's not some kind of spoiler?

>>30742331

Marshtomp live in the Ocean.

Probably around Deltas but still ocean.

I don't know about Feraligator but it doesn't say no.

I'm not going by Game because there's no way things would be confined like that. Prof threw that shit out first thing.

Oh, cool, thanks.

So we're where Pallet Town would be. Huh, I assumed the dome would be more in the central area, around Saffron. ...Why is there a few bits of ruined road at Cycling Road...?

>>30742535
That's broken bridge in the ocean

Don't try to compare it to canon Kanto

>>30742535
Because Cycling Road is ruined?
we are in the verdant post-apokemocalypse

>>30742451
Well, the Dome does seem big enough to put a city in it. Wonder exactly how big it would be to contain about 8 different quarters, each with their own culture.

>>30742431
Marshtomp is a mud fish, so it'd be there.

Feraligatr is based on alligators, so would be confined in fresh water areas. Crocanaws, however, are apparently crocodiles, so they'd be able to cross the ocean. However, they don't live in them; they just cross through while heading to other areas. So meeting one would be exceedingly rare.

>>30742588
That's right around the area Cycling Road is in canon, though. And the question still stands, why is there ruined highway outside the dome?

>>30742618
That was my theory, too.

>>30742630
It's over 100+ miles wide.

>>30742637
>That was my theory, too.
What theory?

The only thing similar is the general shape.

>>30742632
>Croconaws cross an ocean to mature and become Feraligatrs

That'd explain their rarity; they'd practically be a protected species.

>>30742680
As to why there is wrecked road when there's no sign of any advanced civilization outside of the dome.

>>30742842
>>30742852
I meant in IRL terms...

>>30742835
Um, what? All of us already know we're living in a post-apocalyptic world. When did you join us?

>>30742889
Now you don't make any sense at all.

Dawn came and you sortied with the other rangers. Bruise was consigned to take care of Lilac during your absence by Boss's order.

You suited up, receiving ten syringes of antidote, paralyze heal, and ten auto-awakenings to be administer by you CGS outfitted with aquatic proofing. You'd requisitioned a Volt Bident as they instructed you to be prepared however this was turned down due to the high demand and a no records of you training with polearms in the last two years.

It'd have gotten in the way of your guns anyway.

You sit under the deck of the ship awaiting deployment as water pounds away at the deck overhead. Sanna and Marine are next to you, anxiety gripping them both. You know it's Marine's first time outside of the dome. Sanna says that it isn't her first, but she doesn't want it to be her last.

She's a bit out of place here as a ranger that trained primarily with Celadon up until her acceptance into the Rockets. She qualifies as a marine ranger so long as she's equipped with a rebreather. She's assigned to ship duty while you and Marine are assigned to Search and Rescue.

It's your job to save lives. Leader Misty speaks to everyone, letting them know what to expect. She's in full ranger uniform, with her custom uniform allows for the fin-wings of her back proper clearance. There's a seriousness to her decorum and posture that you'd never witnessed back during your days training with her. This is Leader Misty when she means business.

“Teams Alpha, Braver, and Cors are assigned to rescuing survivors from the wreckage. We need everyone off that ship before the next boat arrives. Teams Don, Esp and Far, will control the perimeter and provide backup to Alpha, Braver, and Cors if they require an assist. All reserve units will assist survivors and coordinate via short-range anything the survivors have to say regarding cargo.
When the second boat arrives the ship will be repaired and a skeleton crew will steer it back home.

There's no sign that this storm is going to let up. This operation needs to be quick and clean.

Operational hazards will be monsters, raging seas, and a strong underwater current not far from this rock the ship's crashed upon.
Monsters native to this area include Tentacool that we all know as Zubat of the sea, Sharpedo which is known for attacking ships at random despite Repel-tech, and a possibility of other unknowns given the size of this storm. Good luck and may Arceus give you speed and grace rangers. We're going to need every bit of it today!”

Misty ends the debriefing, opening a hatch and proceeding above deck to survey. As she does so, water pours in from the frightful tempest that lies just outside. You wonder at how she keeps her footing even as the boat rocks and crashes upon the waves, silently skimming them where it can and losing all contact at some intervals due to the nature of its speed. You check your index for Sharpedo. The image is blurry one taken in haste after the thing made a hole in the hull of a ship. Its great mouth looks like it could gnaw through even steel if given the chance. Or maybe your imagination is just filling in the blanks?

I like everything about this.
Alright, good, we have gear. Now we need to make sure we stay in contact with our team at all times.

3 Rangers this time.

Where;s Aqua?

>>30743016
And Goldeen Horn chick?

>>30742950

Try not to think about how all the wounded civilians may attract sharks.

>>30743049
aqua's the starmie dude.

>>30743081
He's talking about the one whose sister died.

It's logged as an evil type with no notations on capture. It's thought to be an evolved form but its unevolved form has yet to be discovered.

“Always the studious one, aint ya?” You hear from your side. Sanna's looking over your shoulder, a bit quesy looking from the waves. Some of the other rangers aren't looking too hot themselves.

“Knowing is half the battle, right? If we win one part of it, we get an edge. Kitty told us that didn't she.”
“Yeah. She did. But sometimes look'n through that thing's intim- intimidat'n.” Sanna looks greener than usual even as she attempts to keep her composure.

The rocking doesn't bother you though. It's facing wild monsters again. Outside of the dome. It's nervewracking. What's more, one look at Marine and you can see how stoked she is even with the poor lighting in the underdeck. She's giddy. It's her first time outside of the dome and she's giddy.

“'Ey Marine? What're ya grinnin' about?” Sanna almost belches out, her condition worsening bit by bit.

Marine takes one look at Sanna and just about laughs, though she stops with a shake of her head,”I'm just excited, it's our first mission outside of the dome.” She slams her hardened shell-knuckles together, delivering a fierce percussion like bone on bone.
“I'm so stoked to see how I can handle a monster now that I'm stronger. Aren't you Cerulean?”

>[] "Marine... It's not like that. We could die."
>[] "We're here to rescue people. You're with me in Braver."

A look around the room gives you familar faces. Bryan's here oddly enough and so is Misa. Otherffaces here are from Cerulean Gym, young and old alike along with others that may have taken aquatic implants later on.

Time to be ELITE. In and Out quick, no dawdling and fighting. Don't be afriad to leave those that are trapped because if it will take to long to free them, though Marine should be able to Rip and Tear a path.

>>30743097

Tell her to remember to not get separated or underestimate anything out here. Shit gets crazy real fast and you'll be half dead before you even know what the fuck just happened.

>>30743118

To the heathen that speaketh of Arceus as a Monster:
May you be cursed to rot and die in the pit of the Reverse, the distortian take you and forever hold your soul.

>>30743118
Nobody knows he's actually a monster except for Agatha and some others, probably. Lilac speculated he was a monster from Agatha claiming Giratina was a monster, or something close to that.

>>30743142
>>30743163
>>30743187
>>30743210
> "We're here to rescue people. You're with me in Braver."

Let's try not to douse Marine's enthusiasm, but we should remind her of where her priorities should be. It's nice that she's excited to test out her implants against some monsters, but she should prioritize caution and safety above all else.

>>30743106
>>[] "Just do your best Marine."

We should try to capture something, preferbly a Sharpedo. That would be a great bonus.

>>30743106
>[] "We're here to rescue people. You're with me in Braver."
>>30743227
Sounds good. We don't want to scare Marine more than necessary. We want her to keep her confidence, but we don't want her to be OVERconfident.

>>30743227
Nah, she's the type to like fighting. But if she goes into this with that attitude, she's gonna get herself, or worse, us hurt because of carelessness.

We're the leader, after all (I think here, anyway), so it's up to us to keep everyone level headed.

>>30743253
NO.

>>30743253
Capturing a Sharpedo isn't worth it. Just able to harvest teeth and sandpaper-skin.

>>30743253
primary objectives before secondary ones

>>30743253
>Capture Sharpedo
>Implying you'd even see it before you get ate
>Implying the second you see that fin you don't wet yourself and run.

Nigga you cray

>>30743253
NOPE. Not in these conditions.

>>30743260
And that was what I was suggesting? To remind her of what we're supposed to be doing?

This is not an exercise for her to try out her implants on actual targets. This is a rescue mission.

>>30743285

Well, yes. That's why i said it would be a bonus.

>>30743306
Agreed.

>>30743106
>>[X] "Just do your best Marine."

The best part is Sharpedo has access to Speed Boost.

>>30743106
Prof, from how far away can Sanna control her tentacles? How long can she control them after detachment? And how well can our communication equipment work in this storm?

It might be prudent to ask Sanna to hand us a tentacle. Us and Marine, perhaps. We could use the tentacles to release impromptu paralyze spore attacks if we radio her which one (Ceru or Marine's) to release it in.

>>30743455
>Implying spore attacks work underwater
I dunno how that would even work.

>>30743430
>>30743253
>>30743106
>It's logged as an evil type with no notations on capture. It's thought to be an evolved form but its unevolved form has yet to be discovered
It has no notes on whether they want it captured. They know of it and have captured them before. They're useless for implants.

>>30743479
We'll be rescuing shipwrecked civilians, so expect some monsters to come up to the surface.

>>30743479
its makes the ocean a giant batch of paralysis tea, the least popular tea known to man and several pokemon

>>30743479
It'd become like a liquid cloud of its own underwater.

>>30743496
Makes sense.

>>30743493
Can we get a couple of tentacles from Sanna? And how do spores work underwater? Would it just release some sort of cloud underneath?

>>30743499
I dunno, I'd imagine Poison Powder / Toxic tea is less popular.

>>30743493

Oh. Then why are they still using a blurred picture instead of the captured Sharpedo?

>>30743534
Maybe by the time they captured it, the thing was all bloody and beat up.

>>30743534
To show how it looks in the wild. And what it does to ships.
You don't get that from the thing floating in a tank effectively asleep.

>>30743499
It would also affect us.

>>30743577
Yeah this
No spore tea, please.

>>30743499
Wait, it would?
I remember in the show watching a Staryu wash off paralysis spores with water in the Misty fight...

Of course that might have just been an ability, but still.

>>30743577
We've got Hydration.

And we'd just have to keep out of the way from where we release the stun spores. At least until it's been diluted by the ocean current.

>>30743759
Hydration takes resting in the water.

Prof has said this multiple times.

>>30743846
Yeah. And we can rest in the water. We're working in teams, after all.

>>30743902
That would be suicidal if we're fighting a Sharpedo.

>>30743567
Hey, Prof, I remember this from last thread

>Alter some abilities and increase the range of learnable moves.

What abilities were altered by our Remoraid implants' evolution into Octillery implants?

>>30743902
HOURS it takes.

And this is a quick in and out mission. Don't be stupid.

And we don't want to waste our antidotes and paralyze heals.

>>30743962
And the Sharpedo would be paralyzed?

It's not like we need to shove the tentacle into its mouth or anything. We could simply attach it to an ice shard and shoot it at its body. It's called stun spore, after all, so just contact with the body would be fine.

>>30744028
Stun spore is ineffectual underwater. It is also raining. In the case that an aquatic monster is landed for capture Stun spore is highly effective.

>>30744028
You're being stupid again. You can't shoot projectiles underwater. Plus that thing would be releasing it while attached to us.

Did the anon that said they'd write a ceruxlilac smut fic do it yet?

>>30744076
Why would it be releasing while attached to us?

>>30744065
Can we not shoot projectiles underwater? It seems silly, given the force with which we can normally fire above water.

>>30744136
The force of water gun would effectively be a water jet. Ice shard would operate normally if need be though a pure watergun would be better for movement.

>>30744136
Because we aren't controlling it. So we don't have a remote fire for it.

>>30744187
The idea was to radio Sanna when to release the spores.

>>30744208
She's got her own job in this, tending to the wounded.

>>30744178
Hey, Prof, our Premature Freezer Array improves our ice moves by 1 rank, but I have to ask if the current conditions of the area we're going to will provide any bonuses for our water type moves too?

>>30744208
That takes unnecessary time. Besides we aren't supposed to be fighting, just grab and run.

>>30744251
And the idea was to paralyze any monsters so we wouldn't have to engage in a drawn out fight with them.

>>30744178
Just a few facts about Sharpedo, since you guys are worried about it.

>Can swim 75-80 mph in an instant, but isn't suited for long distance chases. Can propel it out of the water like a missile (or torpedo der)
>Teeth that are broken grow back immediately.
>Eyes glow in the dark a deep red
>Travel in large packs, and known as 'bully of the sea'.
>Teeth sharp enough to tear through Supertanker iron hull

In summary
>You can not run
>You can not hide
>If Sharpedo is comin'
>We all gonna die.

>>30744270
We're going to be running anyway. Or have Marine provide disraction because she has armor and won'r get fucked up nearly as easily.

>>30744232
Prof, so long as you're answering questions
>>30743984
What improvements to our moves did our implants' evolution give?

>>30744343
More dakka, more move possibilities

>>30744313
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbRHMdT4DS0

Here you go

>>30744313
Given our eyesight, we'd be able to spot Sharpedo underwater.

And I'm not sure about Marine, but depending on what implants she has, she should have a fin on her head that can act like a radar. So together, we'd be able to detect a Sharpedo easily enough to prepare for it.

>>30744232
Does Marine have Mudkip's headfin?

“Marine, we're here to rescue people, okay? We're on Braver, we're not here to fight unless they get past the other teams and Leader Misty.” You look at your friend by a half-glance as you adjust from another rock of the boat clearing a wave.
You hear Sanna letting all her sick out in a bucket a friendly ranger with blue markings, Long ears and sleek shiny fur along her arms. The Ranger pats her back.
“Sorry you have to stay on the ship hun, then again you might be better off.” The Blue Ranger smiles to you and Marine.
“I'm Nana, I'll be working with you two in Squad Braver along with another senior ranger, Chuckie. I'm strong and capable of listening for survivors beyond structure damage. Chuckie's best at gnawing through things. And firing from a distance.”

You introduce yourself,“Cerulean, I'm good at shooting and I'm a strong swimmer. I can also freeze things if need be.”
Marine does the same,” Marine, I'm armored as shell and strong. I can sense with my fins and I'm really strong.”

Nana bows her head sagely, a pleasant smile upon her button-nosed face and cute unscarred features. This woman must not get out of the dome often. If anything you could tell, she's likely better suited for support scenarios such as these.
“Pleased to make your acquaintance. I hope we all live through the day.” She turns her head and offers her hand to a man sleeping at her other side,”This is Chuck by the way.

The man has similarly slick fur over his body aside from his face, large incisors protruding and a flat tail laying lazily on the side of the bench.
Despite appearing lazy and relaxed something tells you that there's more to this guy's slumber than just sawing logs.
“Don't mind him, he'll be ready as soon as we're called up. I'll be the leader for Squad Braver this time around, do your best, okay?”

>>30744497
>I can sense with my fins
Cool. Nice to have that question answered quickly.

So Nana can hear, Marine can feel, and our eyes will let us see. Can Chuck smell them?

Also, oh god. Chuck. Why did you reuse his name.

>>30744497
What are they implanted with?

>>30744497
Chuck?

You nod, staring at the lady. She's really nice. You'd definitely expect her to be from Cerulean gym like yourself given her calm demeanor. It's kind of like Misty, except-well, not Misty.
“Yes Ma'am!” Marine salutes and you follow, bidding Nana to only raise a hand.
“No time for that...” She looks down to Sanna, and pats the Celadon Ranger's head,”Turn around, I'll help you out a bit.”

Sanna gives the woman a bit of a stink eye before complying,” Noth'ns gunna make it w'rse..”

Nana massages Sanna's back and she starts looking better almost right away as she gives into the older ranger's molding of her tissue.

The pre-mission tension's left knots in your stomach, but nothing enough to get you sick like that. Gotta get ready, gotta think. But what could prepare you for this?

>>30744497
Well, it'd be best not to underestimate Nana, since she and Chuck have been given command over us. I mean, we're still cadets, but we are Rockets after all.

>>30744731
After double checking, it's gotta be Bibarel, doesn't have the beaver tail til it evolves.

>>30744730
Hey, Prof, when we got our Psybeam, that meant we were training, right? Shouldn't we have gotten a Tenacity bonus too from our Macho Brace?

>>30744693
It's because Azumaril is part Fairy.

Nana is probably Tank as fuck.

>>30744881
Yeah, since I doubt anyone would want to risk using Macho Brace here, in-between training sessions are going to be the only consistent way we're going to gain any benefit from the item.

Hey Prof, would you mind adding in the +1 from the freezer array on the Ice moves in the pastebin? It would help make things more clear.

>Aurora Beam(0): A weak, though chilling beam is fired upon the enemy, the dazzling colors can drive simpler foes into a state of confusion.

>Frost Breath(3+1): Spew a deceptively cold breath at creeps through armor. Can penetrate into vital locations. (10 stam)

> Icy Wind (4+1): You have refined your power over ice, allowing you to conjure up a wind that generates lasting frost frost in passing, and a chill that breaches the skin. (7 Stam)

>Ice Shards (2+1): An attack performed by flash freezing water into ice and then deftly throwing it at the enemy. 3 Stam(Requires thrown weapon training for long range.)

>Ice Ball(0.5+1): Performed by freezing water into a ball as you launch it. Training may shed more light on this concussive attack.

>Ice Fang(0): An attack done via chilling fangs to leave a bite that chills the flesh, chilling the blood. (7)

>>30744889

>>30744964

>>30744945
Speaking about character sheets, I'm still wondering about getting 20 in a stat.

Leader Misty comes back down the hatch, more rain misting in from the deck as she hangs half-off the ladder,”Closing in on the Mission Site! All hands to your stations! Reserves prepare to handle coms and emergency aid, Alpha, Braver, Cors get ready to jump at the bow! Don and Far get ready to dive at Starboard and Port-side. Esp get ready to support them with your Psi! I want any disturbances reported yesterday! Come on people!”

Everybody moves as a unit, clambering up the other hatches one after the other. You're surprised how fast Chuckie's eyes snap open, and the man rises looking a bit more portly than You'd have reckoned, whiskers twitching from a groomed mustache as he hurries on up just after you and Sanna with Nana at the lead.

The wind howls across the boat with harsh wind amidst the almost tropical warmth and heavy raindrops that splatter across the surface of the ship. Between the puddles that quickly drain out over the deck and the rolling waves you're thankful for the slip-proof and grooved plasteels of the deck that give just enough traction.

You stand at the fore, team Braver in the middle of the lineup for diving. You cast a glance to the two senior rangers at your side as they fit themselves with rebreathers and do the same for yourself due to the built in coms for a test.

Nana's voice comes through first,”Testing coms, testing. Copy?”
“Cerulean here, Copy.” You repeat.
Chuckie's next for the same, then Marine.

This way your team can hear each other underwater, and if need be, you can hear other ranger by swapping frequency at the press of a button.

The boat hits a wave and slips right through a great one that had obscured your view. Everyone hangs onto the railing for the brief moment that you all see the sea-life. Some fish and a couple monsters that ignore you all due to the vehicle-mounted Repeltech.

Sorry, but no. I ended up with the outline for a Ceru/Lilac WAFF piece, but I haven't done anything smutty lately. I had an entire week off work when I wrote Devon/Ceru, so I had a ton of free time to do it. I'll try to have the Waff fic done by the next thread.

>blurred picture of Sharpedo
>pic related

>>30745403
Is there any reason that Sharpedo is unsuitable for grafting? Is it just too violent to effectively harvest, or is it like in Pacific Rim, where its biology is such that you can't harvest it.

>>30745403
Hey Prof, can you answer these questions
>Should we have gotten a tenacity bonus from when we trained Psybeam due to the Macho Brace
>What changed when we got Octillery implants (possible access to upper ranks we didn't know we couldn't reach before, offensive/defensive/tactical bonuses, new unlockable moves, etc.)?

>>30745483
>Is there any reason that Sharpedo is unsuitable for grafting?
We can only graft unevolved parts. So either basic or baby evolutions only (although the latter is unconfirmed).

>>30745403
time to not use this rebreather for anything other than comms

>>30745483
Grafts require the unevolved form of a pokemon that evolves, if it evolves. Sharpedo won't work, though Carvhana will.

>>30745513
>>Should we have gotten a tenacity bonus from when we trained Psybeam due to the Macho Brace
You test-fired and discovered Psybeam. Your aptitudes will be increased the next time you fire the moves that were upgraded.
>>30745513
>>What changed when we got Octillery implants (possible access to upper ranks we didn't know we couldn't reach before, offensive/defensive/tactical bonuses, new unlockable moves, etc.)?
You can learn a wider variety of shooting moves with some loose level restriction. I'll update it if you guys get stuck on a particular decision.

>>30745483
>Is there any reason that Sharpedo is unsuitable for grafting?
Because they aren't basic pokes. If you want Sharpedo rangers, get a Carvanha implant and evolve it.

>>30745483
Pity i would love you forever since Lilac x Ceru is most like not going to happen except in our dreams.

>>30745513
>>30745585
Ohh right. Forgot about the evolved thing. And Carvanha is undiscovered. Definitely no sense in mucking around with Sharpedo then.

...hey anons. We're in the water.
Lagiacrus

>>30742904
I've read the entire quest thus far. I didn't realize we'd been explicitly told that, though. And I don't know whether the characters know that.

>>30745513
>Pikachu can be grafted
>Pichu is unconfirmed

Hm.

>>30745403
So how many people are in Braver? and how many per squad?

And how many people are in the mission total?

>>30745585
And we got more dakka

>>30745585
>Your aptitudes will be increased the next time you fire the moves that were upgraded.
Ah, okay. So, new moves don't lead to an increase in tenacity, but upgrading moves we already know do? Is that right?

>>30745630
Baby pokemon piss me off. They can use that for a bit of a bonus or choose the next juvenile since they're just babbies.

>>30745638
4 in Braver. 3-4 in each other squad with more in reserves.
There's a second boat coming in with a repair crew and a third that will manage more for the repaired escort. You're first in for first rescue.

>>30745630
Pikachu is the base poke.

Pichu is a pre-evol

>>30745585
>You can learn a wider variety of shooting moves with some loose level restriction. I'll update it if you guys get stuck on a particular decision.
I'm still a bit confused by what you mean here. Are you referring to custom skills or new unlockable moves?

>>30745630
Unconfirmed if baby grafts are usable, like basic, or unusable, like evolved forms.

>>30745685
You didn't train with the macho brace in the past week because Ceru was still evolving.
>>30745693
Octillery moveset. Can I finish writing to the next vote?

>>30745630
Baby pokemon are dumb.
I think so anyway

>>30745719
Oh, yes, go ahead. I thought you had already finished writing.

>>30745687
so we got like 24 rangers total right now?

We're so fucked

>>30745788
Every single time there's a group bigger than 4 or 5 in SnK, it's a bloodbath.

>>30745719
>You didn't train with the macho brace in the past week because Ceru was still evolving.
Ah, okay. We learned Psybeam not from training, but from a test fire. Got it.
>Your aptitudes will be increased the next time you fire the moves that were upgraded.
But what do you mean by this? If we use Psybeam now, our tenacity will go up? Or was my earlier assumption right? I'd just like a clear answer.

>>30745788
Why the pessimism, anon? That's a good number.

>>30745788
I'm having Claymore flashbacks.
"Oh wow, there's like 30 Claymores here, what could go- *everyone dies*"

>>30745845
Optimistically, that just means there's 23 other people standing between us and whatever is gonna try to kill us. That's 23 meatshields!

>>30745834
We're so fucked.

>Sharpedo is evil type
>we have an esper support squad

They're not going to help if it's dragging you down by the leg, are they? Or can they still psychokinesis you out of the water despite the evil mind in close proximity?

As soon as that wave is cleared you see a ship that's hanging out in the middle of the sea, tipping over one its port-side with a giant rock supporting its girth. Not the largest ship, likely manned by at least fifty people, six rangers on guard duty.
You all knew it's missing due to its tardiness. Any ship not on schedule is presumed to be wrecked. You learned that from Leader Misty. This one is definitely a wreck, but they were lucky to have landed on a rock.

Over all coms you catch Leader frequency,”Don and Far, Dive!”

The rangers jump in among the waves, shortly after hitting the next wave, the boat turns abruptly with jets erupting from its starboard to forcibly extinguish further forward momentum.
This Rescue boat was built for speed and maneuverability.

“Alpha through Cors, Dive!”

With your heart pitter-pattering in your chest, your body moves as it's told to despite getting rocked by the boat's maneuvers. You clear the railing and land in the water feet-first as you'd been taught, entering into the rocky waves.

The saltwater hits and you open your eyes, taking your first breath through your gills and rebreather. The salt is a bit uncomfortable, but manageable as your second eyelids slip over for protection and your nostrils reflexively plug themselves despite the rebreather.

You look down and all you see is a dark sea with lights glimmering from those depths now and again. Light visible from the ocean's floor. You never would've thought. It's like looking at the night sky, save for the fact that the lights are sometimes obscured by large things far below the depths. Thankfully they've not taken notice yet taken notice of you or the boat.

>>30745845
We need like 50 minimum.

This is open ocean shit. Packs of Sharpedo. Giant Corphish picking off rangers. Tentacool/tentacruel everywhere. And every other Water monster looking for a snack.

We need everyone.

Nana leads the three of you to the ship as the other teams swim a perimeter, keeping out any new threats of the mission area.
Before you there are red orbs gleaming in the lightly lit water like glass blood. They almost seem to stare at the four of you.

“Tentacool ahead, counting six. Ceru take them out, they are no-touch.”
“Copy!”

You turn on your Aquatic 3P gear and zip ahead, stopping short of the odd floating bodies that ride the waves. You align your guns...

Let's preserve our stamina for now. Watergun is free, right?

>>30745966
Psybeam wouldn't really be useful here, though, since they're poisonous to the touch. Better to clear them away.

The irony of us being killed by a Dewgong would be amazing.

>>30745950
And start to evolve our pokes in ...interesting new ways...

>>30745948
What is the stamina cost on psybeam?

It would be better to not waste stam on them if it's higher than 5. Just use water gun instead.

>>30746005
>>30745997
It still gets a bonus.

>>30746042
Water gun isn't free stamina wise. It's just not gonna cost us water.

>>30745948
>[] Water gun to push them out.
>[] Psybeam to scramble their brains!
Do both. Psybeam because it's twice as effective and watergun to move them out of the way for our squadmates.

>>30745997
Why would them being poisonous to the touch mean psybeam is less useful? My only concern is that it is low level.

>>30745948
>[] Icicle Gun to put them down.
we've got lots of water about for reloads. Shoot 'em.

>>30746001
Yes

>>30745948
>[X] Icicle Gun to put them down.

>>30745948
>Icicle Gun

We're not sure what'll happen if we try Psybeam in combat and fail the roll. And since Water Gun alerts them, we might as well kill them.

>>30746094
Less useful since they'll still be floating in the same spot.

>>30746086
Water Gun doesn't cost any stamina, according to the pastebin.

Right, I've thought of a solution as to why Psychic is SUPER EFFECTIVE vs poison.
They confuse the brains and biology of the Poison-type and disable their immunities a bit in the attack. It's quickly corrected but the damage is still done.

>>30745948
>>[] Psybeam to scramble their brains!
Might as well take our new move for a spin.

>>30745997
>Watergun
>on a water poke
>that is underwater and fairly shielded from water based attacks
nigga you just went full retard.

>>30746091
That seems like it's gonna cost us unneeded stamina though.
Water gun is just gonna irritate them. Psybeam is the only one that would cause some real damage.

>>30745948
>>[x] Psybeam to scramble their brains!

>>30746086
>Water gun isn't free stamina wise.
It actually is.

>>30746102
>>30746121
>>30746122
Icicle Gun is a poor choice given their typing and their bodies. Let's not waste the stamina.

>>30746144
Water Gun to PUSH them away. It's not to damage, but to move. You need to think beyond the typing.

>>30746133
>Make them poison themselves
That's hilarious. I love it.

>>30746149
Water Gun doesn't cost any stamina.

>>30745948
Alright, if Water Gun doesn't cost any stamina, use it after Psybeam.

>>30746133
I want to argue against that, but why not.

>>30746170
Water is even worse

>>30746172
Then they'll attack the boat when it comes by, they told us to take them out.

>>30746133
Huh. That would actually make it so the more poisonous something is, the harder esper moves hit it,

>>30746201
Hey, if you have better fluff, I'm all ears. I literally just thought of it.

>>30746218
>Water is even worse
It's meant to push them out. Have you not been following the discussion?

>>30746246
read the second part of that.

Pushing them out of the way is a minor temporary thing that we cannot do to 6 tentacool at once effectively enough to do anyhting serious.

We would need at least Hydro Pump to have a chance at that.

>>30746238
Not that guy, but how about the structure of the poison molecules acts as a psionic energy focus, causing the poison to refract and reflect and generally bounce the energy all through the body many times more than normal. Like how a microwave vibrates water molecules, but with more POKESCIENCE.

>>30746286
Prof described that, at our level, our Water Gun would be like a water jet under the surface of the ocean.

>>30746133
>>30746238
Or psychic is also the home of healing moves; the unmitigated purifying energies of psychic attacks are unkind to monsters that are biologically poison.

>>30746310
that is much worse than Profs

>>30746286
>>30746321
Wait, since we're underwater, does that mean we can fire continuously? If so, I think that solves that problem.

Anyway, Water Gun is effectively a free action here, since it doesn't cost any stamina and we've got unlimited ammo in the ocean. It'll be fine to add it in.

>>30746310
>>30746329
I have to agree on that.

>>30746321
You do not understand how a water jet works do you?

Very short range, very little damage, only good for self propulsion.

>>30746352
What's with that tone? Are you acting like a dick to every anon who talks to you?

>>30746404
No, just to people who seem stupid. Plus you sound like that guy who just got here and started spouting random stupid false bullshit.

Whoops. I mistook what Prof said for rolling for severity. Something bad happens and we roll for severity.

My bad.

You tune into that strange power that you'd only fired in testing before. They reminded you of an Esper's psionics. and if Leader Roxie's Ranger School medias are to be believed, it should be effective against these since they're poison.

You fire the beam and the water distorts with the glow of psionic power pushing through the waves. The things tremble for a moment, unleashing a shrill screech through the water. You increase the pressure instead of shirking, forcing them to slack from the assault.

Whatever it did, they seem to have lost much of their luster now. They float dead with their translucent bodies slowly disappearing

“Psionics?” Chuckie laughs over the com, “Interesting. Remoraids?”

“Evolved a bit, but yeah. How'd you know?” You radio back with a little glee.

“Popular choice from Johto. You Rocket kids get some of the best picks.”

Nana comes in over the comes.“Cut chatter please. Marine, Chuckie can you clear the bodies? We don't need poison waters on the way back. If anything they should keep Sharpedos clear.”

“Roger Nana.” The two speak in unison. Marine swims around, swallows a load of water and forces out a current to carry the wave with Chuckie zipping above the waves and coming down with a slap of his powerful tail completing the jellyfish's expulsion from the mission area.

Nana radios to another team to watch out for the lot.

The three of you push forward with M3P gear, driving through the water at accelerate speed.
“We board the ship from the starboard side. Chuckie, gnaw a hole above the breach of water. It can be fixed later. We need an in.”
“Roger Nana”

The portly ranger breaches the surface and latches onto the boat. As you come up near him along with the others you see him shaving the metal off with an unhinged jaws and overly large incisors. As soon as he's got a good grip in though, a whole panel is peeled out of the way with a surgeon's care.
“These boats have a volt system running through the hull. It's hooked up to a Repel-Tech system that's powered by A few jumbo Voltorbs.” Nana explains to you and Marine, notably without you asking.
It suits you though. You didn't really know about that.

The boats back in Cerulean Quarter's lake and fisheries don't need things like this.

Chuckie removes his rebreather now that you're all about to board, “Looks like the system's been powered down. Don't feel a charge in my whiskers.”

“A wonder that we haven't had to deal with more monsters. It's likely that the rock saved them from the sea in more way than one.”

“We chart this area?” Chuckie asks back to Nana.

“I believe so, but we didn't have this rock registered. Or this may be another area. Navigation is so difficult at sea...”

“Wait, the Repel is down?” Marine takes off her rebreather as she enters the wet underbody of the ship.
“Shouldn't they turn it back on?”

“It mighta gotten damaged in the wreck. Could be a short if they powered on. Repair will have to take care of that. Not our mission.

You enter the ship as well. Overall it's larger than the rescue boat. Bulkier and larger while still appearing capable of speed. You'd estimate that it's at least four stories including the keel. Big, but not too big.

>>30747563
Ygg is kill

You notice something inside of the ship. Aside from the storm raging outside, it's quiet. No engine. There's no people rushing to meet their rescuers. Isn't that a bit weird?

“Where are the people?” You ask, looking up and down the maintenance halls of the hull.

Nana seems to take notice at your word, unfurling her long ears. They flick and twitch some as they listen intently.
“Odd. I hear some movement in here, but it's...” She frowns,”Sluggish. Lazy? Doesn't really define Rangers or sailors.”

“We should be prepared for anything, right?” Chuckie's mirth dissipates as he pulls back his lips to expose his Rodent's fangs and arms a bident, the electricity crackling between the spikes.
