The screen in front of you flickers on to reveal Professor Maple’s infamous face. She strikes you as someone kind and trustworthy, like what you would expect a grandma’s face to look like. You quietly wonder to yourself if they still use this recording to attract more trainers, especially with how dangerous the hobby is getting. Admittedly, the chance to watch the professor talk, knowing she did what she did, is one reason why you’re here.

Your self-musings are interrupted by Professor Maple’s speech:

“Hi and welcome to the world of Pokemon.” Kind of cliché, but you won’t fault her for it.

“Before we begin your trainer registration exam, I have an announcement to make.” Oh, you weren’t expecting that. Wasn’t this recording a few years old? “Due to the increase in violent wild Pokemon attacks, the Pokemon League Association has sanctioned two new methods of battling. The first is to encourage the use of and registration of Rescue Teams; we call this new format of battle ‘Team Battles.’ Three trainers are allowed to swap between two Pokemon each, making this a kind of more cooperative Triple Battle. We hope the chaotic nature of this style of battle ensures good teamwork. The other new style of battle is called an All Out Battle, in which both trainers send out their whole team. This style favors well trained Pokemon designed to act autonomously if need be, which could be life-saving.” Huh, you wonder why they would use the old recordings of a criminal rather than assign a new professor to do it. Probably no one stepped up to the plate. It must be hard to follow in the steps of a legend, even a criminal mastermind.

“With that said, let’s begin. Are you a boy or a girl?”

Well naturally, you’re a boy. The screen asks you to input your name, so you tell it the truth: You’re Gavin Gilsung.

You wait for a few moments and then the realization dawns on you. That’s it. That’s the whole recording you’re going to get. You knew it would be difficult to solve the case of the missing criminal mastermind, but you were hoping to get a bigger clue from this whole thing. Oh well…

The screen asks you to state your intended Trainer Specialty. This kind of thing lets other trainers know how you interact with Pokemon. It lets them know what skills you intend to offer if they want to form a Team with you.

You decided to specialize in:
>Battling
>Catching
>Training
>Pokemon Breeding (which includes a better knowledge of Pokemon abilities, habitats, etc.)
>Item Master
>Casual (you don’t specialize in anything; you prefer friendship)

Back in trainer school, you decided to specialize in battling. You learned how to observe minute details of both Pokemon and trainer, and you learned that creativity does wonders on the battlefield. You think of yourself as a natural born leader, able to command any Pokemon towards victory. Unfortunately, you have yet to get your first Pokemon.

Today that changes.

After you’re done using the computer, you asked to wait in a small waiting room. A curtain separates you from the rest of the Pokemon center, and there’s nothing in here except a bench and a TV. You wait a few minutes in contemplation and nerves, until the TV finally turns on. On the other side of the screen is a cute nurse lady.

“To complete your examination, we will loan you a Pokemon from one of our custom options, and then you will have to catch your own. Afterwards, you will be challenged to a battle with that newly caught Pokemon. We will be watching and grading you from the start of the examination. After you complete your exam, and if you pass, we will print out your trainer card and hand it to you.

Normally we would only offer you the choice between Classic and Popular, but seeing as who your father is, you will also have the ability to choose the Expert package. Be warned: the three choices within the expert package are difficult for new trainers to handle.”

You catch yourself frowning at the mention of your dad. How they figured out who you were so quickly? There’s no way they have your face and name on file, is there? Regardless, you choose to focus on the situation at hand. The Classic option consists of Starter Pokemon usually handed out to beginning trainers in other regions. The Popular option lets you find out what Pokemon most people choose to capture. Wielding one might help you against those trainers in the future. And then there is the Expert option. You don’t want to look like a fool if you can’t handle any of the Pokemon there, but it is a tempting challenge.

You choose the:
>Classic option
>Popular option
>Expert option
>>
>>244289
>Expert option
>>
>>244289
>Expert option
>>
>>244289
>>Expert option
>>
Well the option is there, so you might as well take it. “I’ll choose the expert option,” you say with as much confidence as you can well up. If these people expect you to be a bigshot, then you won’t disappoint.

The Nurse nods her head. She is replaced by three images right next to each other. The first is a small, bipedal dragon-like Pokemon. It is primarily blue, with a big mouth primarily filled with sharp teeth. A red belly stretches from its abdomen to its lower jaw. The text under it reads, “Gible.”

The next image is of a small green reptilian Pokemon with rocky skin. It has a sharp spike on top of its head and black triangle marks underneath its red eyes. The text under it reads, “Larvitar.”

The last image is an odd one. It shows a Pokemon with one red eye and a metallic body that ends in a claw. The text under it reads, “Beldum.”

They don’t look so tough, you think. You choose:

>The shark-looking one, Gible
>The rocky reptilian, Larvitar
>The metallic one, Beldum
>>

>>The rocky reptilian, Larvitar

After you’ve made your choice, you are asked to go to the front desk. You push the red curtain that separated you from the rest of building as you exit the small waiting room. When you get to the front desk, you are met not by the cute nurse who gave you your starting options, but some cool looking guy in a yellow button down and white lab coat.

“And you are?” You ask.

“I’m your instructor, Robert,” he says, holding his hand out to shake. You look at this guy suspiciously for a moment.

“And what happened to the nurse?”

“She’s busy with real stuff, so I get stuck doing this gig.” Robert looks past you contemplatively, then smiles in your direction. “But I don’t know, this stuff can be pretty fun. It’s probably exciting getting to catch your first Pokemon, no?”

You’re not sure whether you like this guy or not, but you decide to shake his hand anyways. “Yeah, I suppose,” you respond nonchalantly.

“Alright, so let’s get started!” He hands you a Pokeball. You look at it for a second before you click the middle button and throw it in the air. In a flash of red light, the little green reptilian Larvitar appears. It searches its surroundings cautiously before resting its eyes on you.

“Hi there,” you say, waving your hand awkwardly. It just crosses its arms and looks away. So much for that.

“Right, well, here are your options,” Robert, the male nurse, says. “We can teleport you to a forest, near a river, or in a cave. You will be supplied with 5 pokeballs and 2 potions. Your mission is to catch a Pokemon. Afterwards, we will teleport back and test you in a battle.”

“And you’ll be watching me the whole time?” You ask as you look at the small Pokemon near your feet. Its body is still facing you but it’s looking at the other people in the building. It’s actually pretty cute.

“Of course. I’ll be there to evaluate you and make sure nothing goes wrong.”

>”I’d like to go to the forest.”
>”I’d like to go near the river.”
>”Let’s go to the cave.”
>”Actually, could we go to another place instead?” [Specify place]

Any other questions you want to ask before you begin your exam?

“Good choice,” Robert says. He snaps his fingers twice and a yellow bipedal Pokemon appears next to him. It is sitting down with its tail curled around one of Robert’s legs. Larvitar makes a tiny yelp and takes a step back before deciding it should hold its ground. You really weren’t expecting something so… Timid.

“Are you ready?” Robert asks.

You hold your hand. “Give me a minute,” you say. You crouch down, making yourself appear less frightening. “Hey it’s alright, I’m not going to hurt you.” You hold out your hand, and for a moment there, it seemed like Larvitar was going to bite you. Instead it puts its tiny claw in your hand. “Alright,” you say, “now I’m ready.”

You feel a hand being placed on your shoulder. In an instant the world around you melts into a white canvas of nothingness. The next instant you find yourself on hard dirt. You feel slightly disoriented and kind of glad you had been crouching instead of standing since you quickly find yourself on the floor.

“It’s always disorienting your first ten times or so,” Robert says with a chuckle. He holds what looks like a timer in his hand. He hands you a box, and when you open it you find the pokeballs and potions you were promised. “Alright Gavin, the test has officially started. You can begin whenever.”

You start by checking your surroundings. In front of you is the entrance to a cave. All around it is brush and trees, with a trail that definitely leads into a forest. So this is their test? It’s not that bad so far.

>You start by checking your bag. What supplies did you bring again?
>The very first thing you should do is find out what moves Larvitar should know.
>Fuck that, there’s a cave that needs exploring NOW.
>Fuck that, this forest trail looks cozy.

Testing... 1, 2, 3... Testing...

4chan is giving me so many problems right now. It probably thinks I'm an aussie shitposter.
>>
You start by taking your backpack off and putting it on the ground. Just a couple of hours ago, you woke up late and you were in a hurry. Your mom handed you your bag as you were leaving the front door. If it wasn't for her, you would've forgotten it. You silently thank her.

You barely made your appointment.

Inside your bag, you find a flaahlight, rope, spare change of clothes, and a note from your mom telling you to behave. You make sure Robert can't see the note as you gently place it on your bag.

(1/3)
>>
Next you turn to your temporary partner-in-crime. Larvitar is sniffing at a piece of grass. You realize you don't actually know what it's capable of. "Hey Robert," you say. "You wouldn't happen to know what Larvitar can do, do you?"

"What do you mean?" Robert asks you, with a confused look on his face. "Didn't you bring a pokedex? They're pretty cheap nowadays."

"No..." You say. "Not all of us have money to throw around, Robert. Some of us need to become trainers for a living." In truth, you didn't even think to purchase one.

(2/?)
>>
You add that to the mental list of things to eventually get, right next to friends and skills. Either that or you'll get an omnivice. That way you can just download a pokedex app and have everything stored in one device. "So are you going to help me or not?"

"Right..." Robert says. He makes a quick note on the small notepad he's carrying before taking out a strange red device and pointing it at Larvitar. "Looks like it has some good move. It knows Bite, Leer, Sandstorm, Dragon Dance, and Dig." You whistle in appreciation. Yeah, with this guy catching (or defeating) something will be a piece of cake.

(3/4)
>>
"Thanks Robert."

"No problem," he says with a light smile.

With that settled, you...

You take out your flashlight and announce, "I'm going in." The entrance to the cave starts out steep and uneven and the daylight quickly fades as you go further inside. You're very glad you have that flashlight. When you look behind you, you see Larvitar keeping pace. Within a few meters is Robert with his own flashlight. At least you look prepared.

When you look back to see where you're headed, a swarm of zubat rush at you. You duck and feel Larvitar's claws closely gripping your pants. You're not sure how Robert is faring.

When the swarm left, you find yourself one on one with a zubat. Larvitar meekly steps in front of you. It turns to look at you, awaiting orders.

"Dragon dance, go!"

Larvitar turns to face the opponent and begins a clumsy yet sort of graceful dance. There's a few kicks there and some... Shaking? But Larvitar is hopping around more. It definitely looks faster.

The Zubat swoops in to attack, its fangs glowing a dim green. It hits but doesn't seem to do much. You're not sure what move that was, but it didn't seem to do much.

Now what?

>>
>>245155
>>245192
You give it some thought but decide that you rather not start your journey with a Zubat. How lame is that?

"Now use bite," You command. Larvitar was waiting for that order. It rushes at the Zubat, going in for the kill.

Larvitar rushes forward faster than you expected from such a heavy rock type. At least you assume it's heavy.

As it runs forward, it actually jumps on the wall, and uses it as a spring board to jump over the Zubat, surprising both the Zubat and yourself. It lands then quickly jumps again to bite the Zubat from behind. With the Zubat between its teeth, Larvitar starts shaking its head viciously.

You really weren't expecting that. There's even a malicious glint in its eyes. When it finally let's go, the Zubat doesn't move.

You...

"Wow, uh, good job partner," you say. You hope that came out sincere.

Having succeeded in that battle, the Larvitar quickly moves to your side and grips your pant leg again. Looks like this cute little guy has a fiercer combative side.

You pet Larvitar gently then continue down the cave. The further you go, the less steep it becomes. The bumps in the path smoothen out. Suspiciously so.

But before you can contemplate further...

You are confronted by a shiny quadruped with four stubby legs and a large round head.

"Aron," you hear Robert whisper behind you. The sound of his voice makes you think this must be a rare Pokemon.

With a smile, you tell Larvitar to go forward. It assumes battling position and does those same hops from before. At least it'll probably go first.

You tell it to...
>Bite, go for the flinch chance
>Leer, intimidate it to drop its defenses

You're gonna make this Pokemon your bitch. But first, you might end up catching it.

"Larvitar, let's try Leer!" You hear it giggle maliciously as its eyes glow. It seemed to work. The Aron instinctively hid its head underneath its body.

"Ha! Look at that. It flinched," you remark.

"Nay, that was a harden," Robert says. He stands next to you, obviously interested in the battle. You're just happy to have two flashlights illuminating the battle.

Have Larvitar use Dragon Dance to get behind it. I think it's faster than Aron, so if it can get behind it, I think we can get it to flinch if we coordinate it with a bite as well.

"Alright Larvitar, let's try to repeat what happened last time. Dragon Dance then get behind your opponent!" Larvitar begins its dance again, but it looks less clumsy. The kicks and shakes have a certain rhythm to them. It's still not the most graceful, but it actually looks like a dance now.

Larvitar starts running towards the Aron but Aron starts running too. "Looks like it's using headbutt," you hear Robert say.

"Alright Larvitar! Wait until the last moment and jump over it then bite it from behind!"

Goddamn. You've never seen such grace before. It was like Larvitar had trained to do this maneuver its whole life and for a brief moment, it reached perfection.

The Aron clumsily fell forward and rolled, exposing its belly; it was caught by surprise. In fact you were too. Larvitar capitalized on Aron's momentary vulnerability to unleash a powerful bite.

This is your chance...

[I'm combining all these rolls for hilarity, but in all honesty there probably shouldn't have been a roll. You'll get a minor penalty, but that's all.]

You totally got this in the bag. There is nothing, no way that this could go wrong. Excitedly, you pull a pokeball from your bag. Your heart is racing. This is your moment.

But you were too excited. You misjudged the distance. The cave was too dark. You didn't have a full breakfast. You... Will find other excuses to cover up your own blunder.

The pokeball you threw actually hit Larvitar, knocking it on its back. Aron squealed and was able to get free. You curse as Robert starts to die of laughter next to you.

Frustrated and embarrassed, you reach into your bag and end up throwing a potion. And of course it lands on the enemy. Fuck! You facepalm as the Aron wiggles with pleasure from being healed.

Half heartedly, embarrassed, you manage to find another pokeball and just kind of gently toss it. It hits the Aron and wiggles a few times before sparkling. You did it. You caught a Pokemon.

You...

You briefly consider suicide and a career change, but that can come later. You lightly jog to Aron's pokeball to pick it up then go to Larvitar's side.

It glares at you. "Look buddy," you start, but it stops you with a bunch of angry growl whines. "Yeah, I know I messed up," you say, "but you, you were brilliant! I've never seen something so cool, and I watch a lot of TV. With the right trainer, you could make it all the way to the Pokemon league."

Larvitar briefly considers your words. "So what do you say buddy? We cool?" You hold out your fist, and after a brief moment, Larvitar hesitantly fistbumps you. Looks like that was its first time fist bumping.

With that you smile and proclaim, "I caught my first Pokemon!" You hear a little cheer from Larvitar and then hear Robert clapping. He says, "Congradu-" before an intense shake throws you both to the ground. You accidently drop your flashlight and Robert must have done the same, because you find yourselves in complete darkness.

When the shaking stops, the only thing you see is a small glint further in the cave.

You...

>Other

>>Go towards it.
fuck flashlights.
>>
>Go towards it.
We go forward with our shining optimism to guide us! (fuck flashlights)
>>
>>245525
>>245530
You decide to go towards the light. A distant part of your mind bemoans the loss of the flashlights, but you figure your mom will forgive you for losing it on your first day as trainer.

As you crawl forward, you stumble into Larvitar. It helps you stand up, and you decide to carry it as you both cautiously make your way to the light. It's slow going but you feel confident that you can handle whatever is on the other side.

That is until you actually see what's on the other side. You enter a large cavern along one of the higher entrances, giving you a good vantage point to see the rest of the cavern.

Below and in the center is a huge black tower, and standing at its base is none other than Professor Maple herself! She's surrounded by some really tough looking Pokemon too. A Golem, Meacham, Gengar, and Alakazam.

What did you stumble into?

[Alright guys, that's it for tonight. I appreciate every single one of you, and I apologize for the technical and grammatical errors.]

Next run time will probably be tomorrow (today?), starting at 6 pm Central Time. Follow me at @knight_quest for specific quest starting times.

So far we've got Steel/Rock, maybe Rock/Dark, and Fire. An Eevee, for either Psychic or Water, would be great (personally I would prefer Espeon). After that... Maybe an Axew? It's a really solid dragon, and one of the best phys attackers in the game. (also my favorite Pokemon but that's beside the point.)
>>
>>245570
I'd really like a Megamom, the Nidos, Totodile, Scyther, Heracross. The cool stuff, honestly.

Also MissingNo. Definately, MissingNo.

158.7, I believe.

Seconding Totodile.

Also Machop for them gains

I'd like a Shroomish cause Breloom is a pretty cool mon to me.

>>245938
also hoping for totodile. He's one of my favorite starters. Maybe also a chimchar and a chespin. We shouldn't ask for too many, though, guys, because either he'll avoid giving us those pokemon since we're expecting them or we won't be pleasantly surprised at all when we get a pokemon that we like.

You make sure to go prone and it takes you a few moments to verify that that is in fact Professor Maple. She looks just like the recording you saw earlier. Larvitar appears by your side with a serious look on its face. Looks like it can sense the strength of Professor Maple’s Pokemon from here.

You do a double take. If Larvitar is standing next to you, then what did you grab? A quick inspection shows you grabbed a large rock that was roughly Larvitar-shaped. You’re glad Robert didn’t see that. Speaking of which, where did the bastard go? Did he not follow you? Could he still be stuck in the tunnels? Fuck.

You look back towards the tower – no, spiral – and see that Professor Maple is giving orders to her henchmen. The uniforms they wear look suspiciously similar to Team Luminous, but you’re pretty sure they were disbanded a few years back.

You decide to…
>Go look for Robert.
>Stay where you are and do a headcount for what you’re up against.
>Sneak down so you can hear Professor Maple’s orders

[The beauty of having a previously disbanded evil bad guy team is that the name could have changed. So if anyone has a different suggestion, I'm all ears.]

Robert can probably take care of himself. He was assigned to take care of you in case anything went wrong, so he’d need to be good. You have more important matters to take care of.

You can hardly believe it; your heart is pounding so loudly against your chest you think someone might be able to hear it. It’s like you’re in one of those detective crime busting shows you watch. You can almost picture yourself getting a codename and being cool and stuff. But you can’t do that if you don’t know what the evil bad guy (girl?) is doing.

You look around and there’s two paths that lead down. One is safer but with less shadows. It would probably more slow going but there’s no chance of you falling and hurting yourself. The other option is to climb down in a place that isn’t well illuminated. That might be a tad bit difficult.

So, you…
>Take the safe path, even if it’s slower.
>Fuck caution, this is time sensitive. Try to climb down.

Why do this alone when you have Pokemon to help you? You retreat back into the dark tunnel for a moment to release Aron, casting a dim red glow. You fail to see Robert but he is probably further down or something. You tell it to follow you back into the light. It does so.

“Hey Aron, nice to meet ya,” you whisper. You hold out your hand, and Aron gives you one of its stubby legs to shake. “Hey buddy, could you help guide me through that path?” You point to the relatively smooth path. It even has rails and columns on it. “We need to stay hidden because this place has a lot of bad people in it, and we really don’t want to be caught. That means we’ll try to stay in the shadows, but we also don’t want to take too long.” It nods its head.

You turn to Larvitar. “And I’m going to need your help to scout ahead. You’re going to dig around and if you see anyone coming, you’ll dig back and warn me ahead of time.” It also nods its head before muzzling towards you. This little guy (girl?) sure got affectionate real fast.

“Alright guys, the most important thing is to not get caught. Let’s go!” You conclude your whispered speech.

Roll me 1d20+8 (+4 from being cool and +4 from getting help). Best of three. Crit 1s won’t count.

You are one with the shadows and even more importantly, one with your Pokemon. You feel like an expert spy as you move and roll from one hiding spot to the next. (Except you don’t have a box to hide under.) With Aron’s help, you find all these small but good hiding spots and Larvitar does an excellent job of warning you of any bad guys well before they advance.

As you head down the path, you take occasional glances at the bad guy’s operation. It seems like they’re mostly moving boxes here and there, and most seem to be cages of some sort. You were never into the watching the news, so you’re not sure why these guys were considered bad people. They didn’t exactly steal Pokemon like other well-known criminal organizations. All you remember is that for, like, a week straight people couldn’t stop celebrating that the bad guys were taken down by a group of heroes.

Anyways, your thoughts are interrupted by a (now) familiar push from the ground. You signal to Aron and it quickly locates a hole in the ground big enough for you both to squeeze into. Despite the general smoothness of the path, most of it was left rough and untouched. Judging by the tire marks, the smooth path is primarily used for vehicles.

Two groups of those bad guys convene nearby. One group (of 3) salutes to the other group (of 2) and ask, “Commander, how are preparations going?”

“Well,” the Commander responds. “We will be able to depart soon.” With that said, he and whoever he was with walk up toward the tunnel you came through.

“Finally,” one of the grunts say. “I can’t wait to see the sun again.”

“C’mon Cole, it wasn’t that bad. We’ve been here, what? A week? Quit your complaining you pansy-ass faggot.” That said, they continue to complain as they depart.

You finally find yourself at the bottom of the cavern. It looks like there aren’t that many patrols in this area. They probably weren’t expecting anyone to infiltrate whatever they’re doing. You don’t see Professor Maple anywhere, but you can’t exactly see the bottom of the black spire from here. You could examine those cages you saw earlier, but there’s also some kind of crudely constructed building nearby you could try looking into.

You…
>Decide to head straight for the black spire. Time and all.
>Decide it is better to get some information. Check out those cages and boxes.
>Think that building is calling to you. It’s got to be important to be down here.
>Do something else?

No use getting close without information. You have Larvitar scout ahead as usual and you use Aron as an extra set of eyes as you make your way towards the containers. You only have to avoid one patrol guard as you make your way to the cages. As you hide between two huge shipping containers, you hear the patrol guard’s radio saying something about potential intruders. Are there others around?

That doesn’t matter right now. You get close to the boxes and try to open one but they are nailed shut and you don’t see any crowbars nearby. Besides, you’re not sure you can open these boxes without making too much noise. Instead, you head towards the cages. Each one is about two meters tall by one meter wide, and you see a variety of cave dwelling pokemon inside. There’s a blue bipedal pokemon with a large mouth with yellow lips and two circular ears with alternating pink and purple rings. It is gagged and bound. In another cage you see a bipedal pokemon with a dark purple body and two gemstone-like eyes, but that’s all you see from the dark cage as it backs away from you. In another cage is a blue quadruped with various spiny, crystal-like features jutting out of its body. You sense a pattern. All these pokemon are bound, unable to free themselves, and there’s an unmistakable look of fear in each of their eyes. Just what are the bad guys planning?

You duck between two cages and stay silent as another patrol guard passes by. You silently thank Aron for biting your pant leg to warn you. As you continue your inspection, you come by a panel. It looks like if you mess around with it enough, you can set all these pokemon free, though you’re not sure you could sneak out in that chaos. That and you still have no clue what Professor Maple’s grand evil scheme is.

You…

There’s no way you can leave these guys here to suffer. Even if it isn’t the smartest thing to do, you know you wouldn’t feel right unless you gave them a fighting chance. A plan quickly formulates in your mind. You tell Larvitar and Aron to ask these guys to create some mischief for you – to get back at their captors and help you at the same time. As they begin to do that, you silently bemoan that you don’t have a way to take a picture of this cruelty. Perhaps you should’ve checked on Robert after all. You could’ve jacked his devices, especially since you accidently forgot yours at home.

You lightly slap yourself. It’s time to focus. You begin diddling and experimenting with the control panel. At first only one cage opens, but as you begin to make sense of the device, more and more open up. The captured pokemon are cautious at first but as more and more step away from their imprisonment, you see them gain confidence.

It doesn’t take long for someone to raise the alarm, and then everything goes to hell. Loud sirens pierce the relative silence, and red emergency lights bathe the whole complex. You see some grunts struggle, battling the wave of freed Pokemon. Now’s your chance.

You…
>Head towards the tower. Might as well see what Professor Maple is up to.
>Fight with the released Pokemon. Maybe you can make this riot more than a distraction.

You start running towards the building you saw earlier. You hope it’s abandoned now that there’s a huge intruder alarm. A quick glance confirms that Larvitar is keeping pace but it seems that Aron is lagging behind. You recall it to its pokeball and keep moving. There’s no time for caution now.

>>248754
>>248667
As you move, you see a few of the freed Pokemon followed you. You hear a grunt say, “Hey, who are you?!” before you see them. You turn towards the voice and see 3 grunts heading in your direction. You quickly order a sandstorm from Larvitar then shout out “Nidoking, get them!” The Pokemon that followed you move towards the enemy. Hopefully that creates a good distraction to keep them off you.

Your run turns into a sprint.

When you get to the building, it looks more like a shack put together in about an hour. A sufficient amount of force could probably topple a wall. You’re about to head inside when you realize you lost track of Larvitar. Your wild heartbeat turns frantic. Did Larvitar get lost in its own sandstorm? Did the grunts manage to capture it?

You’re about to head back when you feel a familiar claw on your pants leg. “Damn dude, you’re a fucking ninja,” you say loud enough to be heard over the alarm. With partner now nearby, you head inside.

It smells pretty bad in here. Like sweat and mildew and something else? All you see are a bunch of shitty bunk bed cots strewn around in a random fashion. Where these guys living here for a whole week? “What? Couldn’t they bother to build proper shelter?”

“I resent that,” you hear from somewhere inside. A female grunt reveals herself. “So you’re the intruder! Prepare yourself!” She sends out a light-blue quadruped with darker blue patches, red eyes, and large, spiny ears.

Larvitar takes its rightly place in front of you.

You tell it to…
>Bite, start with a good offense.
>Leer, intimidation time.
>Sandstorm, make like a ninja.
>Dragon dance, just keep buffing up.
>Dig, surprise them.
>Hold on. You want to taunt her first.

“Larvitar, dig!” You say, as the female grunt simultaneously says, “Nidorina, poison sting!” You smile as your Larvitar quickly plows through the dirt. Some part of your mind is thankful that this place doesn’t have a concrete floor. That would’ve made digging more difficult and time consuming.

Your smile fades in the split second it takes you to look at the female grunt’s face. She’s smirking maliciously. You almost notice it too late. The glowing purple stingers that Larvitar dodged are still heading towards you. Your body reacts before you can fully comprehend what happened; it throws you sideways into a dodge roll and you manage to avoid hitting one of the bunk bed cots.

“Larvitar, use the bunk beds to hit them both!” The surprise on the female grunt’s face was worth almost getting poisoned. Cots are suddenly toppled on top of her and her pokemon. She yelps in surprise. Heh. If she weren’t trying to kill you, that would’ve been cute.

Larvitar pops out of the ground near you, ready for another command. You can’t really see your opponent under that mess, but you know you can’t underestimate her.

You tell Larvitar to…
>Bite, it could get the enemy to flinch.

tell me not of our magics friend. I was there in one of our finest hours.

It is my firm belief that one should not cross RNGesus (random be our games) and our lord Kek. True is it that Kek bless us with his holy digits, but the rolling of dice and similar gambits are over seen by entirely different entities. One should not anger either when it comes to these matters, for as you say, Kek is fickle, similarly is RNGesus.

I by no means claim that RNGesus is superior to Kek, nor visa versa, but each has their realms friend. The crossing of those realms could be catastrophic.

You half expect another barrage of purple stingers, but when they don’t appear you still feel it’s best to be cautious. “Larvitar, time to go ninja.” Without needing the full command, it starts to stir the dirt in the room into a cloud, and it builds up into a fully-fledged sandstorm. It stings your eyes, and you can no longer see Larvitar. You hope that’s a good thing.

You move to hide behind one of the fallen cots. If you’re not in the last place they saw you, then you’re probably safer. That’s assuming they can’t currently see you from where they’re buried.

You hear several explosions outside. You’re not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. You still don’t see the grunt or her pokemon, but it’d be dumb of you to assume that she’s out cold already. You quickly command Larvitar to use dragon dance; you regret not being able to see it. It probably actually looks graceful now. The image of a Larvitar doing ballerina stuff pops into your mind. You try and fail not to giggle.

Huh. Still nothing.

You tell Larvitar to…
>Get in close and Bite, there’s no way they’re done.
>Leer, it should probably work through that mess.
>Sandstorm, make it even harder to see.
>Dragon dance, nothing will be able to stand up to you.
>Dig, it should be faster now that the tunnels have been dug.
>Scout, see what’s up.
>Wait, she’s probably planning something.
>Wait so you can use an item.
>Run, now is a good chance to get away.
>Write in

You weren’t actually expecting to get into a conflict. How long ago had this been a simple test? Less than an hour? And now you’re fighting for your life against a known terrorist and criminal organization. Gods, you hope you survive so you can brag to literally everyone about this.

>>249116
Still, you want to survive, and that means being cautious. You entertain the thought of running away, but that wouldn’t make for a good story. No. You want to beat this grunt and help the intruders. You want to beat the bad guys and prove that you can do this sort of thing.

But first you need to actually beat her. “Larvitar dig!” Now he, no her, no it(?) can wait in the ground for the upcoming attack. You hear another explosion outside. This one was closer.

>>249159
Then there’s a huge explosion in this room. The ground erupts, spewing a ton of sand out. You barely make out the silhouettes of two pokemon in the air. One strikes before the other can react and is thrown violently across the room.

You instinctively cover your face as a wave of sand envelops you. When you finally shake free of the sand and dirt, you see the sandstorm is gone and Larvitar is standing near a hole in the center of the room. Any furniture has been pushed towards the walls, and you’re just glad none of it hit you. You stumble towards Larvitar and see that it’s looking at something. No, not something. It’s looking at the female grunt (unconscious) and her fainted Nidorina.

“Good job, Larvitar!” You yell over the alarm. Huh, it sounds louder. You look up to see a hole in the roof. That’s what must be letting outside noises into the place. It beams at you with pride, takes a final look at its defeated opponents, and then goes back to its usual place near your leg.

Now that that’s been taken care of, you…

You decide to check around the room for stuff, but you also want to find out more about this female grunt chick. Your eyes turn to Larvitar. It’s been a competent companion so far. You crouch down. “Hey buddy, I need you to do me a favor. You see that bad lady we just beat up together?” It whines at you. “I mean that you beat up and I helped a little?” It nods. “Well I need you to look for something on her. Something with human writing or a picture with her face.” Larvitar looks at you with a confused expression. “I’m trusting ya, bud. Can you do it?” It nods its head and heads over to the fainted villain.

Is it wagging its tail as it walks? Fuck that’s cute. You lightly slap yourself for the second time (third time?) today. You begin searching through the rubble. The first thing you encounter in what looks like a storage locker with a busted lock. Score! You manage to find a Team Invictus uniform and two pokeballs. Huh, that looks like the uniform the grunt chick was wearing. You suppose that’s a pretty invaluable find at the moment.

>>249252
>>249282
You search around some more and happen to find a great ball lying around. Nice!

>>249278
You also find what looks like drugs? Oh wait, it says protein on the label. This could be useful.

>>249287
Holy shit is that real? No way. You find a CD looking device on the ground. A TM? NICE! (You're not really sure what move it is though.)

>>249309
With that done, you turn to find that Larvitar just dragged the female grunt to you. “T-thanks bud,” you say. You’ve never looked through a girl’s pockets before. Is this wrong somehow? I mean, she did try to kill you. You shrug and look through her pockets anyway. You actually don’t find much, which is pretty disappointing. You see a piece of paper in the rubble and a pen a few feet away. You quickly scribble a note and your phone number and leave it in her pocket.

Now, you decide to…
>Put that uniform on. It’ll be so much easier to blend in.
>Nah, what if you’re mistaken for one of them? You’ll keep it just in case though.
AND

You originally came down here to spy on Professor Maple, but you kind of got side-tracked. Still, you feel a responsibility to those Pokemon you freed. What’s the point of beating the big bad villain if people end up forgetting all the little people that got hurt during the war?

You stash the uniform in your bag. You’re sure it’ll be a big help. As you step outside, you stand in shock. It looks completely different, like an actual war is being waged. You see craters and smoke litter the battlefield and there are people and Pokemon on the ground. They aren’t moving? You hear explosions in the distance, and a fireball lands 5 meters next to you, creating another smoking crater. Shit.

You run towards the empty cages, hoping that the Pokemon you released are okay. You pause for a moment; should you check up on those around you? You’re about to keep running when you spot a familiar face hiding in a cover hole you would’ve used had you needed to continue sneaking. It was that blue bipedal pokemon with the large mouth and yellow lips. Its weird round ears are near its head, obviously signaling fear.

You cautiously approach it, but it seems to recognize you. It moves from its hiding spot to greet you. “Hey there,” you say, but it doesn’t respond. Okay then. “Listen, I know you’re scared, but I need you step up and be a hero. I know you can do it.” It nods its head. Good. “You see those people and pokemon just lying there? I need you to pick them up and take them to that shack where they’ll be safe.” It shakes its head in fear. You release air you didn’t realize you were holding in. Gently, you grab the Pokemon’s hand. “Listen, they need you. And I know that you can do this. You’re braver than you think.” Larvitar says something in agreement. The pokemon looks at Larvitar then you. It nods its head and goes towards the unconscious bodies.

With that taken care of, you continue running. Next thing you know, you’re on the ground with something cold on your neck. There’s a small, bipedal pokemon with a rounded black and red head with a silvery blade extending from the front. Instead of hands or claws, it just has knives, and one of them can kill you any moment now. You see Larvitar being confined somehow in the periphery of your vision.

“You have 5 seconds to tell me who you are and what you’re doing here,” you here a gruff voice say. Shit. Your mind starts working overtime.

“I’m with you guys!” You yell. You think there’s actual anger to your voice. “I just woke up with the goddamn alarm, and next thing I know this place has gone to hell.” You make sure to add some pleading to your voice, channeling Cole, “C’mon man, I thought this was gonna be easy money. Not some shitty living quarters with itchy uniforms. I just wanted some goddamn sleep. If you don’t believe me, check my bag. The uniform is in there.”

You feel hands reach into your bag and take the uniform out. For what feels like a very long moment, you think this guy isn’t going to believe you, but then the pokemon with goddamn knives on its arms lets up and you find yourself being pulled to your feet.

“Sorry about that,” the gruff sounding grunt says. He was the guy that was with the commander from earlier.

“Me too,” you say. “I’ll find a quick place to suit up. Any places where I won’t be jumped again?”

“Yeah, head over to the tower. No one would be stupid enough to guard it.”

“How about the escaped Pokemon? What happened to them?” You inquire.

“I heard most of them got away, but who the hell knows. We were attacked and the fighting is still going. Just hurry up, get changed, then meet up with the rest of the grunts over there.” He points to the place with the constant explosions. It’s mostly obscured by smoke.

“Thank you,” you say, then head out.

You go to…

It’s finally time to do what you originally set out to do, but before you do that, you check to see how your little green friend is doing. It looks a little shaken up, but when it sees you looking at it, it gives you a brief smile. Yeah, Larvitar is going to be okay.

You head towards the black spire – tower – thing. The explosions and other loud noises seem to become less consistent and more sporadic. Hopefully that means the fighting is ending. You can only hope your side is winning.

As you get in front of the weird black structure, you see a familiar looking figure. Fit, wearing some kind of blue spandex with a leather jacket, and blond hair. He turns around to face you and you remember where you saw this guy. He was one of the original heroes who defeated Team Invictus a few years back.

“And you are?” He asks casually.

“Um, I’m here to help,” you say. What kind of things do you even say to these guys.

So, what kind of things do you actually say?

The hero doesn’t actually say something, so you decide to introduce yourself. “Hi, I’m Gavin Gilsung-“ His eyes open a little in surprise – “and I freed a bunch of Pokemon, defeating one of their minions, and tricked one of their leaders.”

“So you’re the one who freed all those Pokemon.” This guy’s casual attitude is kind of annoying you. “You actually moved our plan’s timetable ahead of schedule, but that’s alright. I think one of our members was sick of waiting anyways.”

“So what’s going on here? What’s with all the violence in what is a glorified safari zone?”

“Aren’t you aware? Team Invictus is known for their breeding experiments. They want to create the strongest Pokemon of all time. It’s why a lot of wild Pokemon trainers find have unusual abilities, stats, and moves. We thought we defeated them a few years back but rumors confirmed that they’re back. We’re just not sure what they’re planning. That’s what the whole stake out was for.”

“You haven’t introduced yourself,” You say.

“Right sorry, my name is Roger Stevens.” He looks bemused. “Usually there’s no need for introductions.”

“And what are you waiting for?” You ask.

“For this machine,” he points to the black spire, “to start working.”

You…

You just have so many questions. What’s that machine do? Is Professor Maple a bad guy or is she with you? Is it okay for us to just sit here? Am I allowed to keep the stuff I looted or should I turn that in to the proper authorities? Where’s Robert? It’s not everyday you find yourself in some evil villain hideout and help take it down. Or at least, it isn’t everyday for you. You take in a deep breath and try to focus your thoughts.

“Hey, is it okay if I ask a few questions?”

Rogers looks at you curiously then nods his head. First thing is first. “Is it really okay to just sit here? Why don’t we investigate the spire?”

“We already did that. We have no clue what it does, but I’m pretty sure we can deal with whatever happens.”

“Alright,” you say, some doubt in your voice. “I saw Professor Maple down here. Is she really a bad guy or is she actually with you guys?”

“I’m afraid she’s actually a villain,” he says. There’s a sorrowful look on his face but his eyes look hard. “No one expected that kind of betrayal. It turns out she was using us to test her theories, feeding us info about her organization, allowing us to use the Pokemon we ‘liberated.’ It just disgusts me.” His expression fades but the look in his eyes doesn’t. “Just like that time a few years ago, she completely disappeared.”

“I, uh,” you’re not really sure how to say this. “I managed to find some stuff while I was investigating. Will I have to turn that in to the proper authorities?”

“Unless it has the Team Invictus name on it, no.” That’s actually a relief.

“Oh, well, I actually stumbled upon this place by accident. Y’see, I had an instructor and we kind of got separa-“

“His name is Robert,” Rogers says. What the fuck? Is this guy psychic?

“Yeah,” you say. You’re pretty sure there’s some suspicion in your face but fuck it. Who the fuck waits for the evil villain machine to start working and doesn’t run away?

“We found him while we were fighting Team Invictus. He should be helping our people over there.” Rogers points towards the place obscured by smoke. You haven’t really heard any explosions in a while. You consider your options but the decision seems pretty obvious.

“I think the best place for me is helping your people mop up the bad guys,” you say. Rogers just nods.

“I’ll tell them you’re on your way.” With that said, he turns around and continues looking at the spire. Right…

You start making your way to the battlefield with Larvitar in tow. It seems like there’s only two main battles still taking place. On one hand you see Robert (!!!), but it looks like he’s already helping some blonde muscle dude fight a horde of grunts. On the other hand, you see a red head in a tight black outfit being surrounded. You know she’s a hero who can take care of herself, but still…

Some part of your mind tells you that you still need to finish your exam and that you need to show Robert your fighting skill.

You…

As if there’s any question. What’s the old saying? Always pick the redhead. You’re pretty sure that’s right. As you head towards her, you see a purple bat-like pokemon with four wings and a bipedal, weasel-like pokemon with sharp claws, a pale grey body, and several feathery areas.

She’s surrounded by 5 grunts, each with one pokemon: a quadruped feline pokemon with dark brown fur and a cute red mohawk, a robotic looking pokemon with a spherical metal body and two magnets on each side (you actually know this pokemon is called Magnemite, it was one of your favorite TV detective’s main pokemon), a frog-like, bipedal, blue pokemon, a Zubat, and a canine-like quadruped that mostly has grey hair, with some black where its snout and head is.

As she sees you approach, she orders both her Pokemon to use protect. Every attack bounces off. It looks like she gave you an opening.

You decide to…
>Use Larvitar only. It’ll be easier to command one pokemon at a time.

You look down at the two-foot, green reptilian running besides you. You can tell it hasn’t been moving as fast as before, even with all the speed boosts it’s gotten, but this is the last stretch of the journey. Once you’ve done this, you’ve proven to yourself that you have what it takes to be an excellent trainer, and that Larvitar has what it takes to beat the Elite Four. You catch each other’s eyes for a brief moment, but that is enough. You’re both on the same page.

“Let’s do this!” You yell. Larvitar yells right back, but it comes out really painful and really loud. Could this be a new move?

The redhead take the opportunity to unleash a powerful offense. Two of the opponents are downed. It looks like magnemite, the feline pokemon, and the canine pokemon are the only ones left standing. Her attack seems to have surprised the grunts because they hesitate to issue commands. Looks like they expected an easy victory. Superior numbers means nothing in the face of good strategy.

You throw a pokeball in the air, and a dim red light reveals your Aron. “Alright buddy, use headbutt, and Larvitar, dig a hole behind them.”

Larvitar takes the initiative, since it still has the speed advantage. It runs up to the pokemon and jumps over them. You admit it’s not as graceful or as cool as when it did it to Aron, but Larvitar is probably just tired. Still, it digs those holes very quickly. Aron does its job pretty well. It’s able to headbutt both the feline and canine pokemon into the holes, while only taking minimal damage from them. But unfortunately one of the grunts recovered from the shock in time and ordered her Magnemite to dodge Aron’s attack.

Before the feline and canine Pokemon can climb out, the redhead orders a quick “Air Cutter,” and faints them. You casually walk to her side. Now the tables have turned. You have four Pokemon on your side and the grunts only have one. The female grunt recalls her Magnemite. She places her hands in the air and says, “I surrender.” The other 4 grunts follow her example.

“You did good, kid,” the redhead says as she takes out some cuffs.

You feel like you can finally start relaxing when the whole cave starts to shake.

“Oh no,” the grunt says, her face a very pale white. “The machine has been turned on and we’re still here.”

[That’s all for tonight, lads. I can keep going but quality is going to suffer. I’ll continue tomorrow at around 3 pm Central Time. Follow me at @knight_quest for precise update times.]

I would also appreciate any feedback. Genuine thoughts, complaints, etc.

Nice session! Thank ya QM person!

I like the Avengers stuff, but try to avoid doing too much, since it cheapens the story. I also think the name Gavin Gilsung kinda blows, but that wasn't entirely up to you. On a more positive note, I really like the open nature of the quest and the variety of choices we're given. I feel like someone out there's gotta have some images that you can use, but jewgle was not helpful.
>>
>>249858
My plan after tomorrow's session is to take a small break to plan stuff out but I'm also gonna lurk /vp/ and tumblr to find a hell of a lot of images.

And also thanks for the feedback. I'm always looking to improve.

>>249865
Also, it might keep things fresh if you take up another quest to do on certain days rather than Pokequest 7 days a week. That only really applies if there's an idea that gets you as excited as a Pokequest, though.
>>
>>249870
I actually want to do a hunter type quest in an OC world with magic and robots, but I kind of wanted some QM experience first. And maybe some visibility? The plan is to build up a name with this quest, and then use that to give any future quests a healthy start.

I fully intend to finish this quest first though.

>>249865
We need a poke Dex soon. Wether by luck our skill. While I like us getting caught up in plot early, can we please get some normalcy mixed in? Pokemon balances it pretty well usually.

After this first arc, there will be plenty of normalcy. That's a promise.

You start hearing the whirring of a giant machine. When you look over to the black spire, it looks distorted somehow. A high pitched noise starts ringing in your ears and everything starts gaining a red tint. It starts out small, with a slight pink but gradually grows into a strong crimson tint.

“It’s alters minds,” you hear a distant voice say. Or at least you think it’s distant. The redhead (except everything is basically red now) is looking at you calmly. Was she not affected?

When you look down at your Pokemon, they seem to shaking. Their body language is clearly more aggressive, with Larvitar in its battle position, facing Aron, the redhead and her pokemon, and even you. Aron, likewise, seems to want to fight everyone around it.

Then it hits you. You feel a giant ball of anger and hate. Who the fuck do these Pokemon think they are? As if they could fight you, little snot nosed punks. You’re the trainer. They should give their unwavering devotion to you. These guys are NOTHING without you.

You try to shake this feeling off. It should be wrong, but it feels so right. The urge to start punching and kicking everyone and everything just feels so intoxicating. You want to laugh maniacally. And yet, maybe you shouldn’t. No but you should. Yes. No. No?

You…
>Fight this. At least long enough to recall your Pokemon. They could be in danger.
>Fight this, but only long enough to get yourself away from anyone you could hurt.
>Don’t fight the feeling. Just let it consume you.

You try to fight this. You look at the small green reptilian and the shiny quadruped with the stubby legs. You have to do this for them. You manage to take out your pokeballs… But look at these faggots. They don’t deserve you. They don’t deserve anything but DEATH.

>>251467
>>251463
Actually, they don’t even deserve your attention.

You turn elsewhere. Now, what can you do? There’s so many things you want to destroy. But you have to start simple. Yes. Simple. You start by kicking a rock. Yeah, take that you little worm! Next you grab a box you find nearby. It only about a foot wide by half a foot tall. You throw it as hard as you can to the floor. Then you kick it with glee. Fucking cardboard. Who the fuck decided to make a box out of cardboard? Idiots.

Oh look, there were pokeballs in there. You stomp on them until they’re nothing but pieces. No good pieces of shit anyways.

As you continue to wander around, you see some dumb grunt on the ground. You kick him. He grunts. Ha. You made a grunt grunt. You continue to kick him. It’s so intoxicating – the power.

“Stop it!” It sounds like a whisper near your ear. You ignore the dumb voice, but something prevents you from kicking the useless grunt again. As you turn around to see what’s obstructing you, you see the redhead again. What the fuck, whore? You try to kick but it seems she’s holding your leg with a whip or something?

“Fuck you!” You yell. Your first swing is pretty clumsy, so she manages to dodge it. Probably using her slut powers or something.

“This isn’t you,” she whispers. Goddamn woman, shouldn’t your kind be loud and yappy?

“You don’t even know me,” you say, as you attempt another punch. Damn, she’s slippery.

“I’m sorry,” you hear before the ground jumps at you. It hits you hard, and darkness starts to envelop your vision. Your last thought is I’ll get you next time.

When you wake up, you have a powerful migraine. What happened? You find yourself in a bed in an unfamiliar room. The memories of being mind-controlled(?) jump at you, and your first thought is of your Pokemon. Are they okay?

The room you’re in is pretty simple. There’s the bed, a curtain over the window, a closet door, and a desk with paper on it. The entryway to the room is locked.

You…
>Panic. You have to get out of here right now.
>Stay calm. Explore the room.
>Look around for your stuff.

Stay calm, you tell yourself. Remember your training. Except your training was watching cop shows and emulating what they would do. What would Detective Simmons do? He would probably search his surroundings. Yeah that. No need to panic.

As you get out of bed, the first thing you notice is that the floor is cold. You look down at yourself and you aren’t wearing your typical garments. Instead, you’re wearing pajamas? You don’t want to think about someone changing you while you were unconscious.

First thing’s first, where’s your stuff and where’s your partners? Your first instinct is to check the desk. You see that the paper there is actually a note. It starts by informing you that everything is okay and that your Pokemon partners are fine. They are in quarantine right now to make sure there’s no lingering effects, but it seems that only the area around the tower is affected. That’s actually a big relief.

Now what? You decide to check the closet. As a pleasant surprise, you find your clothes on hangers. A quick sniff and examination reveals that they’ve been cleaned. You look around suspiciously, but they aren’t watching you with secret cameras, are they? Well, didn’t someone already change you?

You decide to change anyways. It looks like your bag is in the closet. You quickly inspect its content and confirm that nothing is missing, except the uniform you stole. You could live without the uniform. Finally you check what’s behind the curtain. The sun blinds you momentarily, but once you get used to it, you see that you’re inside the Pokemon Center you started your exam in. This must be one of the cheap rooms for rent.

You hear a knocking on the door. You brace yourself just in case it’s an enemy. You eye the room for weapons, but there isn’t anything obvious within reach. Maybe you could throw your bag at the person. The person who enters is Robert. Oh thank the gods.

You…
>Demand an explanation. How did you get here?

“Ah, so you’re finally awake,” Robert says, a genuine smile on his face.

“I’m sorry for abandoning you back there,” you blurt out. “How you doing? I mean, how are you doing?”

“Me? I would be more worried about you. You got hit pretty hard when that weird sound signal came out of the tower – spire – thing. It affected the grunts and every pokemon in range. And you too of course.” Robert covers his mouth with his hand as he thinks back to those events.

“Wait, were you not affected?” That’s weird. Wasn’t that redhead unaffected too?

“Not really. Neither were my Pokemon. The thing affected the Heroes’ Pokemon but not them. I think they blew up the tower though.” Interesting. Could Robert be special? “They actually wanted to talk to you. Or, uh, just one of them. He’s waiting downstairs.”

“Wait Robert, what about my Pokemon? How are they?” The worry is thick in your voice.

“They’re fine. Actually we could go look at them first?” He suggests.

You…
>Definitely need to make sure they’re okay with your own eyes.
>Don’t want to make the hero wait. They have people to save, right?
>Ask more questions.

Larvitar busted his butt for me after all. Wait he is a he right? Didn't actually check and don't have a dex on hand to scan him with.
>>
“I would love that actually,” you reply. That said, you sling your backpack on then follow Robert. He takes you through a hall, down some stairs, through the lobby, and into the back. You thought only nurses were allowed back here. He opens a door and lets you inside.

Both your Pokemon are sleeping, cuddling on a small Pokemon bed together. You feel close to tears. They’re safe. You sit down near them and gently pet both. Aron is the first to wake up and upon seeing you makes a happy noise. It jumps at you, and you end up on the floor with it on your chest. Holy mofo, this guy is heavy. Or uh, this gal?

“Hey Robert,” you call out. “What gender are they?”

“Oh you didn’t know? They’re both male.” He says that like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. You beg Aron to get off you and it begrudgingly does so, but it stays as close as physically possible. When you sit back up, you see Larvitar looking up at you. You both stare for a moment before getting the biggest smiles of your lives.

“You’re safe!” You say as it probably says something similar. You both hug and Aron joins in. “I’m just so happy you’re both alright.”

Robert coughs. “So, seeing as you fought a bunch of criminals in battle, you technically passed your test.” Yeah, so what? Then it dawns on you. Isn’t Larvitar a rental Pokemon. You look down at him but he just looks at you with a confused expression, as if asking, “Master, what happened? You should be happy.” He looks up at Robert, then it dawns on him.

Larvitar grabs at you and refuses to let go. There’s no way you’re letting go either.

“Um, I’ll give you two sometime alone,” Robert says before leaving.

So… What’s the plan?
>You could appeal to the people in charge.
>You could ask a favor from the Heroes. Maybe they owe you?

You quickly come up with a plan of action. “Listen guys, I’m never letting them take you away, but I’m going to need you to trust me. I love you guys.” You look at Larvitar then Aron. They both nod their head. “Alright. I know it’s going to be tough buddy, uh-” You can come up with a nickname later – “but I need you to wait here for me. You too Aron. I promise I’ll be back.” They both look at each other and then nod. They each hold out an arm; you put your hand there, a silent pact being made.

You leave the room and quickly inspect the larger room outside. There are shelves and shelves of Pokeballs. On closer inspection, you see that they are separated into rows and columns and there’s a name under some. It doesn’t take long to find the label “Gavin G.” You take the two pokeballs then return to your Pokemon. They seem overjoyed to see you. “Alright, you guys are never leaving my side,” you say as you recall them both. It’s better that they’re with you in case you need to run away.

You quickly head out into the lobby and see the familiar figure of Rogers. The tall blonde man is no longer in uniform, instead wearing something more casual. It’s kind of odd, but you guess he’s human too. Upon seeing you, he says, “I’m glad you’re doing okay but we need to talk.”

“Damn right we do,” you say, getting an eyebrow raise as a response. “Listen, I need you to do me a favor. They lent me a Pokemon for my trainer exam but this little guy- “You point to the pokeball on your belt – “saved my life. I refuse to give him back. And I know that’s probably wrong but I-“

“It’s okay,” Rogers says, placing a hand on your shoulder. “I can see that you care for him, and from what I saw, he cares about you too.” You smile. With a hero backing you, there’s no way they can refuse.

“No. Absolutely not,” the balding man says. “We can’t give away every rental Pokemon we lend out, especially one so rare.”

“But, but he saved my life. And look at him!” You say, pointing to the Larvitar clinging to your pants leg. “He clearly doesn’t want to go back to you guys. Just what kind of life are these rental Pokemon living anyways? They need someone who will take care of them, and I will definitely take care of this guy.”

“Rules are rules,” the man says again. He fiddles with the buttons on his, no doubt, expensive suit. You can tell that was a weak argument and so could he. Before you could strike again, Rogers steps in. “Every rule has an exception, and this young man did help me and my team stop the resurgence of Team Invictus. I think he deserves a reward.” The balding man looks like he’s about to make a counterpoint, but Rogers continues. “Letting him keep a Pokemon that already cares for him and that he cares for is the least you can do.”

The balding man looks from Rogers to you to Larvitar. His shoulders sag and he lets out a deep breathe. “Yeah, alright. I’m not a fan of playing the bad guy, but we can make an exception this time.” Before you start celebrating, he adds, “Just keep it a secret.” You nod your head then turn to leave.

When you’re out in the hallway, you hear Rogers say, “So about that talk, let me take you out to dinner. You probably haven’t eaten anything since your exam.” Your stomach growls so loudly at the thought of food that Larvitar yelps in surprise. You’re about to accept, but Rogers quickly adds, “Just so you know, if you do accept dinner, there will be cameras and paparazzi involved. That means your face will be on TV everywhere.”

You’ve honestly never turned down an offer of food before, even when your next door neighbor Ms. Harley invited you over for spinach and onion cakes. Sure they were probably healthy, but yuck. At least her son was a cool guy.

Besides, this is a good opportunity to build up your brand. Of course, any failures on your part could become public knowledge. Are you ready for this? Probably not, but who is?

“I’ll accept,” you say. “Dinner actually sounds really fantastic.”

Rogers nods his head then takes out some kind of see through phone. He presses a few virtual buttons then puts the phone to his ear. He says a few things, then motions for you to follow him. Outside the Pokemon Center, you see a limo. An actual limo. You guess fame gets you money and expensive stuff?

The drive is pretty uneventful. You refuse Roger’s offer of beverages; you’d rather keep your head clear. He doesn’t drink any either. The drive is pretty quiet, but you kind of prefer it that way. Now you get to relax and just enjoy being.

When you guys arrive at the restaurant, you see that it is a pretty fancy shindig. You immediately feel underdressed, but so is your date, er, host. There’s several camera crews outside, and when the limo parks near the entrance to let you and Rogers out, they swarm the car. “Don’t tell them anything about the incident,” Rogers warns. He gets out first. You can hear a barrage of questions raining down on him. He refuses to comment.

When you exit, the lights and voices vying for your attention is a bit much. You can feel Larvitar’s claws digging deep into your leg as you both make your way slowly through the crowd. The reporters are voracious.

“Can you tell us who you are?” “What’s your relationship to Rogers?” “Are you lovers or partners?” “What’s your connection to the incident at Cave Serenity?” “Who does your hair?” “What kind of trainer are you?” “Are you a trainer?”

When you reach the entrance to the restaurant, you turn around to face all the camera crews. You feel Roger’s hand on your shoulder, urging you to go inside. This is your chance to say something though.

Why say anything when you can have the press speculate for you? Mystery is the best way to build a brand, you think. Still, how does the old saying go? ‘You have to leave them wanting for more.’ You’re pretty sure that’s how it goes. You slyly wink at one of the cameras and then walk away.

The interior of the restaurant is even fancier somehow. Red velvet carpets, every wait staff is wearing a fully tailored suit, even the females. They have chandeliers. The tables have fine linen and tablecloth and the seats are made of fine oak wood, as waiters and staff shuffle meal courses to patrons.

It doesn’t take long to be escorted to a table, and you notice everyone looking at the two of you. There are multiple types of forks laid out on the table, but you don’t understand why you would need more than one. The waiter sets down crystal glasses and leaves you a menu. There’s no prices listed but you’re pretty sure everything is really, really expensive.

You look to Rogers for guidance, but he’s busy looking at the menu. You try to read the menu but there’s French words in there? You’re not sure what they actually serve here. The only thing you recognize is the wine section but that’s because it’s actually labeled “Wine.”

When the server finally arrives, Rogers orders something and you just say, “I’ll have what he’s having.” Perfect. With that out of the way, you guys can begin your discussion.

“It’s really important,” Rogers says, “that we don’t tell them exactly what happened. The public has a tendency to overreact, so the story is that we defeated a leftover faction of Team Invictus. You shouldn’t mention the black spire or its effects, nor should you talk about Professor Maple.”

You mull his words over then nod your head. The first course arrives, and it consists of this fried delicacy with what looks like fancy marinara sauce. At first you think its onion rings, but it turns out to be octopus or some other kind of sea creature. It tastes pretty good though.

What do you even say this this kind of guy? He seems to be enjoying his appetizer too. At least he appears confused about which fork to use too.

“So,” you say. “Uh, do you guys recruit?”

Rogers looks at you quizzically before saying, “Sorry Gavin, we don’t do that. Our team has enough members already.” Drat. You were hoping for a snazzy uniform of your own.

“So can you tell me anything about that black tower and what it did to me?” Your second course arrives, so you both stay quiet until the waiter leaves. Rogers stays silent as he sips on his soup. You entertain the thought of flipping the table and demanding answers, but you don’t want to cause an uproar in such a nice place. What would the press think?

Rogers clears his throat, then he begins. “We think that the black tower was some sort of emotional manipulator. It seemed to affect every living being in the area that wasn’t trained to withstand psychic attacks. As you yourself felt.”

“How about Professor Maple?” You ask. “I don’t want her coming after me.”

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Rogers says. “Her strategy has always been to stay out of the limelight and to manipulate the environment to produce stronger pokemon. Her and her group have never actually attacked anyone directly.” Well that’s a relief at least. That said, you decide to resume your meal. The next to come up is some kind of Salmon. You’ve never had something so fancy.

You observe those around you, and when they avert their gaze when you look directly at them. You guess which fork is correct, but you can silently feel them judging you. At least Rogers doesn’t seem to care.

The rest of the meal is eaten in relative silence. You do ask Rogers how he deals with all the dangerous situations, but all he says is that he kind of grew numb to it all. Man, this guy isn’t much a conversationalist. You wonder if he’s just as awkward as you are, but you doubt that. The dude is a damn hero.

Your meal ends up going by pretty quickly, despite the lack of conversation. As your meal ends, he hands some kind of plastic card to the waiter. You thank Rogers for the meal and he says it was no biggie. You ask him for a ride back to the Pokemon center and he agrees.

As you leave the restaurant, you expect to be accosted by media, but it’s actually quiet out. The sun has already set, and the moon is peeking out of the clouds. The limo ride is uneventful and Rogers steps out with you to give you a firm handshake. He hands you a card with his number and says to only call during an emergency.

When you enter, you find that Robert is currently behind the desk. “Hey you’re finally back!” He proclaims. “I have your trainer card ready to print, but I wanted to know what your preferences are. Since you held your own against criminals, we could give you an S-rank trainer card.” Oh man, that usually takes years to get, but anyone who sees that card will expect nothing but extraordinary things from you.

You decide to…
>Keep the S-rank. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.
>Go down to A-rank. It’ll mean less pressure but people will still look up to you.
>Ask for B-rank. You’d rather people think you were average rather than amazing. That way you can wow them.
>Something else.

Explain what each would mean first. Please.

>I also think larvitar should go by larvi

Larvi for life.
>>
>>252444
>>252451
This.

Hey OP, for future encounters, can we roll a d8192 for whether or not its a shiny?

As for the trainer card, I'd probably go S-rank. Fake it till you make it.

>>Keep the S-rank. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

So trainers are ranked by how good the examiners think they are:

C-rank is basically the lowest rank and for the trainers who barely passed their exam. They didn't wow anybody.

B-rank is more for the average skilled person. They could probably sell their skills for beginner type quests.

A-rank is for those who turn heads with their skill. They are trainers who are recognized by the Pokemon League, and those with an A-rank tend to get job requests.

Finally, S-rank is the hero rank. You are basically a celebrity and those who find out will want your autograph. It means you can hold your own against the best.

>>252473
Can trainers move up in rank?
>>
>>252473
Fake
it
till
you
make
it

S-Rank all the way
>>
>>252476
Yes they can. You just need to tell a nurse that you want to move up a rank, and they'll give you the appropriate exam.

Or if you get enough badges.
>>
>>252473
A-Rank we still need to build a team.
>>
>>252480
I'll go ahead and toss my vote in for A-rank.
>>
S Rank!
>>
>>252473
I'll vote for S-rank then.

>>252487

“I think I’ll keep the S-rank,” you say. “It’s the best way to move forward.”

Robert nods his head in agreement. “I wouldn’t offer it to you if I didn’t think you could handle, but don’t get a big ego out of this. Someone could always decide to demote you.” He types some things into the computer in front of him.

“Alright, I’m just going to finalize everything.” He shifts the screen so it’s facing you. “Is all this information correct?”

“Well actually, my name is…”

>Alright guys, last opportunity for a name change and second to last post of the day.

>>252462
Sure thing anon. Idk if we'll ever find one, but we can try.

Why don't we do this for all Pokequests? It stands out like Red or Ruby or Pearl.

Actually guys, I think that's it for today. Keep suggesting names, and any feedback would be appreciated as always. Requests, complaints, compliments, etc.

Next session will be Wednesday, either 3 or 6 pm. Will probably start a new thread.

I need time to come up with all kinds of interesting city encounters and options. Expect plenty of urban adventure.

I'll monitor the thread every now and again until it falls off the board.
>>
>>252610
what time zone?
>>
>>252621
Central time.
>>
>>252625
How much money we giot? How expensive are pokeballs, potions, antidotes and pokedexes?
>>
>>252635
You're going to start out with 3000 poke and item costs are the same as the games, unless you find local vendors willing to sell stuff for less.
>>
>>252651
Sooooooooo how much does a dex cost? Or are we getting it free?
>>
>>252656
You'll have to find out next session. ;)
>>
>>252666
So what areas are near our starting point? We're remarkably vulnerable to water and grass right now.
>>
>>252668
I suppose there's plenty of water and forest like areas nearby. I'll make sure to include plenty of opportunities for team expansion.
>>
>>252683
Cool we need a to get a better type spread IMO. some fire, bug, poison, flying, water, etc. Gotta work for that S-class team. Any name suggestion you like so far?
>>
>>252690
I was hoping there would be a consensus among the anons. The name doesn't mean too much, since the quest is basically about [i]you[/i], the players.
>>
>>252715
Honestly you should probably pic a name you like. Anons suck with player names.
>>
>>252738
I might just do that. Still hoping for decent name suggestions.
>>
>>252780

I actually did Alexander Grayson, but don't let that stop you guys from suggesting more names. Also nicknames. So far we have Larvi for Larvitar.
>>
>>253081
I woll point you to my post on nicknames here: >>252435

>>253107
I actually really like Gojira and Behemoth for our mons.
>>
I like Atlas for Aron, but that's just me.
>>
>>253124
As in the titan who held up the world, or the 100 ton assault mech?
>>
>>253133
Little bit of both.
>>
>>253149
mah MechWarrior playing nigga
>>
>>253081
Honestly I feel like any human name works for us. People have to live with weird names sometimes, and sometimes that person is us.

As for nicknames, Lavitz for Larvitar, and Ronald /Ron for Aron. I wouldn't mind just keeping their pokemon names though.
>>
Currently archiving the thread. What tags do you guys recommend?
>>
>>253178
nothing beyond the obvious 'name of quest' and 'quest' tags
>>
>>253178
Larvitar, Aron.
>>
Quest is officially archived. I'll keep all the name suggestions in a note and we'll vote on the official trainer name and pokemon nicknames next session. Here's the link: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/244124/

As always, thanks everyone for participating! Y'all are super awesome.

FUCK I MISSED IT FFUCK SHIT SUCK

Rock'em and Sock'em

Really, we should have gone for the c rank trainer card. If everyone thinks that we suck ass, it just makes it that much more satisfying to pound their shit in.
>>
>>260199
m80, we'll just pound their shit in anyway.
it's as simple as praising kek (digits be unto him) ....


O, PRAISE KEK IN HIS HOLINEEEEESSSS
PRAISE HIM IN THE FIRMAMENT OF HIS POWER!
(I can't remember the rest of Psalm 150)
LET EVERYTHING THAT HATH BRE~ATH
PRA-A-A-A-A-AISE THE ME~MES

(praise kek, btw)

New thread is up!
