Finally the day has arrived

After a long wait you finally can become an official pokémon trainer!

You need to hurry up and get ready for such important date!

But first, are you a boy or a girl?
>Boy
>Girl

Also, where do you live?
>A nice apartment complex on the rich part of town
>A normal house in a middle class neighborhood
>A small deteriorated house in the slums

We'll train our pokemon by fighting with them using our bare hands.

What could go wrong?

>>2752692
>>2752696
Let's go with the standard
You are a normal guy, living in a normal household along with your father, mother, little sister, and Mr. snob (terrible name for a snubbull)
Life has been pretty okay so far, even though it can be a little boring sometimes. Honestly getting your pokémon trainer license is the most exciting thing that has happened to you in a long time.
It would be a bummer if you didn't pass the test.
Speaking of which, The test is divided in three parts, which ones are you actually ready for?

Picl one
> Written test, you got a lot of free time so you study a lot about pokémon (+Bonus in knowledge rolls, knows a lot of useful info about the region, Academic approach to pokémon)

> "Capturing test" you are better than most at understanding pokémon (+Bonus when interacting with pokémon outside of battling, empathic approach)

>Battling test, you spent a lot of time training with your dad old buddies that work at the pokémon gym. When it comes to pokémon, battle power is everything (+Bonus for battling rolls understand battling more deeply )

It's a weird thing to say, but you always had a knack for understanding what pokémon are feeling. It sounds like the kind of thing every "wannabe trainer" says. That they understand the hearts of pokemonn and have a "special connection" with those fantastic creatures.

Your talent is nothing so dramatic. Is more like "reading the mood", and a relatove ease to get your ideas across them. Is like having a conversation with other people, but with more gesticulations and movements.

You quickly get ready to leave home and head out to the "Public Pokémon Training Grounds", even though it's still pretty early. Should you do something before going out?

> Wake up your family, you feel really excited about this day and want to share these feelings with them
> Check social media , see recent news and who else will be taking the test
> Go out now, you want to be there before everyone
> Go out now, you want to take the "scenic" route

I assume we don't need to check online to know which of our friends will be there, since we'd already have found that out way in advance.

>(+Closeness to family)

You head to your parent´s room, they are still sleeping, tired from their jobs at the "Human and Pokémon Public Health Center". You would usually feel a little bad waking them up so early during the weekend, But today you are just too excited!

.- "Mom, Dad, today is the day! I'm going to get my license!"
Dad.- Weird to see you so eager so early. Ypu ready "champ"?
Mom-. And here I was worried you would wake up late like always, let's make some breakfast, wouldn't want you heading out without eating first

The sound of you voices wakes up Mr.Snob who starts barking excitedly, this wakes your sister up, and soon you are in the kitchen with your whole family.

Mom cooks some eggs, meanwhile you Dad sits downs at the table an turns on the tv, your sister fills Mr.Snob empty food plate. It's a nice morning with your family no doubt

Sis.- "Can't believe a doofus like you will ne able to battle pokémon" said jokingly

Dad.- "He got what it takes, after all he takes from his old man"

Mom.- "Don't take the test lightly, you wouldn't want to get left behind by your friends"

Sis.- "He only has pokémon "friends" mom"

.- Hey! I got friends!

Sis.- Like who?

No but seriously, do you have friends? human friends?

>Yeah!
>That girl dad doesn't like, and mom totally hates
> I guess that guy (total douche) from your class is my friend? he talked to me like twice, but he only talks with me
> The neighbour, your childhood friend, even though you haven't been hanging out since 6th grade

>Nah
>Disregard human friends, acquire pokemon friends

>Other, write in

>(- Interacting with other people)
PC: I do have many friends, and yes, they are Pokémon and exclusively Pokémon, I don’t understand why it makes a difference
Sis: You’re such a weirdo bro, but seriously, is good that you like Pokémon that much, but you should also try to speak to other people, maybe with some cute girls, eh?
You look at your sister with slight irritation. Why should I go out of my way to talk to others? People are hard to read. Besides your family, you have a tough time understanding other humans, and getting them to understand you. Communicating with Pokémon is simpler.
Mom: But don’t get too “chummy” with girls, you wouldn’t believe how many teenage pregnancies I see daily on the health center
Dad: Relax, he’s a good boy, I’m sure he’ll make some friends in no time. But your mother’s right, don’t get anyone pregnant, that’s one of the most common ends to a Pokémon training career.
Even your parents still make you feel a little awkward to this day. Or maybe you inherited your awkwardness from them? Time will tell.

That should be more than enough money for today. You are all set and ready to go. Your family follows you to the doorstep to send you off.

Dad: Good luck “champ”!

Sis: Don’t screw it up bro!

Mom: Be careful dear!

Mr. Snob jumps and barks excitingly, even though his grimace doesn´t change he is also cheering for you.

You take you trusty old bike and make way to the training grounds. It should take you about 30 minutes to get there. The morning sun is still rising, is a nice albeit a little bit windy day on North Pass city.
Let’s hope for the best today

Your ride goes without a hitch, you arrive sooner than you expected! The gates of the training grounds remain closed, a lengthy line of people your age wait eagerly for them to open. There must be about 200 people in here. You recognize some faces from you class, but you don’t talk to anyone, so it doesn’t matter. Even though you seem some familiar faces happy to see you! There's still a little while before they open the door. What should you do?

Seeing that so many people are still studying you decide to do the same. You take out your notes from your backpack. Doing a lot of strange hand gestures, you tell your friends that you are busy right now but that you’ll met with them after the test. They seem to understand and “wish you good fortune on your trials to become a master”.

You began to read the most important parts regarding Pokémon law. Repeating under your breath everything you think could be on the test.

: “Licensed trainers can carry up to six loaded Poke Balls, anymore results in a fine and authorities are allowed to search without a warrant the person belongings”

: “The following Pokémon species are illegally to own without a trainer license….”

: “The following species are prohibited from entering or leaving the country without a permit…”

Oh, it’s a girl, She´s from your class. Top grades, popular and friendly, all the nice stuff. There’s no way she is talking to you, she probably just saw one of her friends nearby.

Wait, she´s getting closer

Closer

What

???: Sorry to be a bother. You recognize me, right? We are classmates, Carranza´s High School, sophomore year… group B… Doesn´t ring any bells?

I don’t understand, is she talking to me?

???: Well, I’m Kali, it’s weird to say this since I’ve seen you before but, nice to meet you!

: eh?

Kali: I saw you studying and thought it would be nice to have a partner to do a little review together

What, what’s happening, what do?

Kali: You know those Pokémon from earlier? They seemed to know you, but you told them to go using only your hands. How do you even do that?

Yeah, she’s talking to you

>Tell her about how you can communicate with Pokémon quickly and get to studying
>Tell her in detail about your communication abilities

Here goes nothing

: Oh, uh. I don't really know, to be honest. It just kind of. Makes sense, I guess? Pokémon make sense to me. They don’t use words, but they always show their feelings in their own ways. I always try to understand them, maybe they do the same with me? They're a lot easier to understand. They don't... judge as much.

Kali: That’s more complicated that what I was expecting. I thought you had some kind of trick, or you carried Pokémon treats everywhere

That wasn’t so bad, it was even a little liberating, besides you family you’ve never told any other person about this

: Well I also do that, but that’s for my pokéfriends

did you just say pokéfriends?

: Also, they’re pretty tasty for Pokémon food, very filling too

Kali: You eat Pokémon food?

: Yea- Sometimes- I mean, no, never, I say because, a friend told me that they taste good. A Pokéfriend that is. Not a human friend, because I got no human friends


Kali: Oh, that’s interesting, I think I should go back to my place in line, the gates are about to open.

:Yeahsure, seeyoulateratschool I mean, herecausewearegoingtotakethetesthaha….

>(Relationship with Kali ???)

That sucked, you suck, It was going well, like when you tried to learn how to drive only to crash the car when trying to park. You are now the weirdo who eats poke-kibble

You quickly try to get the poke-kibble out of your pockets only for it to fall to the ground.

You dropped the kibble

Finally the gates open and everyone enters the training grounds. Instructors lead you to a building where you will be going to take the written exam, you got assigned the same group as Kali.

The instructor tells you, you have an hour to finish the exam. You try not to think about your conversation. Clear your mind, and do this

You did pretty damn good

You don’t let your embarrassment get the best of you. Your mind is 100% focused in the exam, and surprisingly enough, it’s easier than what you expected. Your last-minute cramming also helped, and you finish with a… wow 90% that’s pretty solid. You even get out a little early. You just hope this don’t attract more attention to yourself. It seems like Kali left before you. You wonder how she did.

Armed men in uniform, alongside their Pokémon star to prepare a podium over a platform in the middle of the training grounds. They are about to announce the second part of the test. Everyone who got less than a 60% are being escorted outside the facility, you feel some of them glare at you.

You wander off searching for the Pokémon that came to see you, after a couple of minutes of looking around you spot them Abra and Murkrow are resting on the ceiling of the building, the bird pokemon is searching for anything shiny, and Abra is sleeping as usual. Meowth seats a berry lazyly under the shadow of a tree nearby.

You get their attention reflecting the sunlight in your phone scene. Meowth and Murkrow Hurry up to get too you, and abra somehow follows. They are curious about your tests, and want to know if you are already a "Master" you told them that you still got two more trials to go.

While walking with the Pokémon you notice that everyone's attention is focused on a couple of "soon to be?" trainers getting in a heated argument about their results in the last test. Seems like things could get violent if they are not stopped. This is dumb, why would you risk the chance to become a trainer for something so pretty?

What will you do?

You don't need to worry about them, they are not you problem. You decide to go and hang out with your friends. But your walk is shortly stopped by an imposing figure ,a grizzled old man moves toward you. Pokéball in hand. His uniform singles him out as a high ranking officer in the "Pokémon Defense and Capture Corps "
In the blink of an eye, an strange red light liberate a ferocious beast. It's deafening roar freezes everyone. Its agitated respiration, a eyes darting towards the crowd makes everyone nervous. It's seems ready to attack everyone at any moment.

???: At ease.

With just a pair of word, the pokémon gets behind his trainer, serene and unmoving, like a trained soldier.

???: JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ALL DOING, YOU BUNCH O' MAGGOTS. IS THERE NO RESPECT LEFT FOR THE BATTLE GROUNDS?

Let's see shit go down

You tell the Pokémon to go and hide, you wouldn’t want them getting in trouble. The old man walks towards the fine dressed young man and grabs him by his collar forcefully and lifts him.

Old Man: I swear to god the youth of today has gone down the drain. We broke our asses trying to build a better place to live, to make things easier for you. And this is what we get, a bunch of stupid and conceited brats

Rich boy: Let me go, you old fuck

Old Man: Look at you, in your expensive clothes bought by daddy, “playing trainer” and picking up fights with girls, for heaven’s sake. HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A MAN?

The Old Man seems to have completely lost it, it looks like he is about to choke the boy. But the rich boy shows his something that makes him stop dead in his tracks. A silver ring with a strange engraving. The Old Man just lets him go and turn his back.

Old Man: Get out of my sight, I don’t want to see your face for the rest of the test. And you…

Punk Girl: I’ll show you I can be a better than all these jokes of a trainer
The Girl just storms off

Old Man: and the lot of you, GET IN FORMATION, THE CEREMONY IS ABOUT TO START

Everyone just scurries off to the main area, scared to death by the old man.

Old Man: And you

Oh shit, he’s talking to you

Old Man: Send your grandpa my regards

My grandpa knows this guy? Well you can see some resemblance.

You just leave the guy on the ground. This whole thing has nothing to do with you after all. You hurry up to the main grounds and get ready. You can feel even more eyes on you know. But you aren’t sure what to make of these glares. Minutes pass and the ceremony starts. Aztlan national hymn starts from the speakers, and old and grandiose song about warfare.
A member of the PDC Corps introduces all the figureheads present, including the old man from before. Commanding General of the PDC Corps in North Pass city, CG. Orizaba

CG. Orizaba: well Listen up you bunch of worthless maggots, Cause I´ll only say this once. I don’t care who you are nor why, you are here. If you want to become a productive member of the Pokémon training society not my problem. If you only want Pokémon to show them off as some sort of trophy I don’t care, if you are here only for the money and fame I don’t care. If you want to be the very best, like no one ever was, I swear on my mother I couldn´t care less. What I care about is making sure no more half-assed, irresponsible, stupid trainers get permits to wield weapons of mass destructions.
CG. Orizaba:The second and third part of your test are one of the same. Find a Pokémon, just one, don’t care which one. Train it and bring him here for an official regulated tournament to size your abilities as a trainer, the tournament is next week, at 13:00 hours. Any questions?
Some dude: Yeah, how many Pokéballs do we get?
CG. Orizaba: None, the Pokémon must come here on its own accord. Thanks to a stupid new regulation from the Pokémon Battling society to promote “Pokémon and trainers bonds”, dumb liberal garbage. If you bring a Pokémon that has been captured, you will be disqualified as a trainer.
A commotion starts to form between the participants, complaining loudly
CG. Orizaba: QUIET! If you can´t get over this difficulty, you don´t deserve to be a trainer. YOU ARE DISMISSED

Does he mean that we’re limited to the one Pokémon, or that we’ve got to bring at least one, and can bring more then one if we’re able to convince them? And it’s been good so far. Occasional grammar and spelling errors but as long as the writing’s good and they’re not too gratuitous it’s not a significant problem, and one that will probably improve with time.
>>
>>2754431
We're going to have a easy time getting them pokemon.
We could get a pokemon on the first day, so we'll have a whole week to bond with it
>>
>>2754477
You can only use one for battling.
Still, you can beriend many of them and choose one for the tournament, or just focus on raising one

And yeah, I'm trying to improve my grammar, english isn't my first language so I tend to make some mistakes
>>
>>2754531
Nah man, I'm loving it so far. Don't be so hard on yourself! The world building is fun. I'm up for any poke quest that isn't waifus
>>
>>2754531
Again, it’s not a significant issue. The writing’s pretty animated, so it’s fairly easy to look past occasional grammatical and spelling errors.
>>
>>2753211
Why even extend the steering wheel. Just surf this badboi

>>2754431
Digging The Grace that we're actually poke autist, it's a nice change up from the type of character that usually gets played.

One thing I will point out is that you could try using some of the formatting options. It makes dialogue look a bit punchier and can make it easy to differentiate characters if certain ones speak in a certain color. Other than that keep up the good work!

You are Perry, a young Pokémaniac in his way to become a full-fledged Pokémon master. Everything has gone more or less smooth to this point. The second part of the test to get your license just began.

You are pretty good at communicating with Pokémon, but to make a Pokémon accepto you as his master can be a pretty big deal. What will you do?

You decide to head out to your local refugee, you’ve always wanted to help Pokémon. People usually prefer to adopt pet Pokémon from a breeder, and trainers prefer to catch them in the wild, so they get left behind, some become public service Pokémon but a lot of them aren't that lucky.

While you are heading you can see Kali across the trainer grounds, she seems a tad bit preoccupied. Maybe she doesn't know where to find Pokémon? She also seems to be looking for something. Maybe you should ask her to come with you? That wouldn't be so awkward right? M-maybe we can show her you are not that much of a weirdo, or you can just screw it up again.

In your indecision you feel something you, Meowth is pushing your legs toward the girl, Murkrow comes down and helps him push, even Abra teleports behind you and gives you a final push.

You are face to face with the most dangerous of creatures. A teenage girl

Perry: He-hey Kali

[Blue] Kali: Hey! I was looking for you

Perry: For me?

[Blue] Kali: Yeah! I saw your results on the written test! You were on the top 10!

Perry: Oh, that's, good. I think

[Blue] Kali: You bet!

Perry…. Thanks?

You just stare awkwardly to each other for a while

[Blue] Kali: Actually, the reason I was looking for you is because I need your help with this test

You are quite surprised

[Blue] Kali: Do you know a good place to find Pokémon?

It's your time to shine

You tell Kali about the shelter, and she agrees to come with you, even though she seems a little unsure about it. You assure her the Pokémon there can be pretty friendly! But it doesn’t seem to help. Wait how are you going?

>Let’s just walk there, bring your bike, your pokéfriends can come
>Ride your bike… together? (requires roll)
>Go on bus
>Other

Also, what are you going to talk about with her? You PokéAutist

We like all types, but not all types like us. Dragon types in particular don't care for us much.

>>2755593

We have a predilection towards Electric, Bug, and Steel.

I’d say we don’t have preferences on kinds of Pokémon. We seem like a person who appreciates any of them.

Kali and you start moving down the street. Most of the other trainers just hurried to catch a bus and get to the outskirts of the city, the riverbank, the abandoned factory, the slums, and other areas populated by wild Pokémon.

Murkrkow is flying nearby, watching over us. Meowth seems to be sizing up Kali, judging her behavior. And Abra is just floating lazily near us.

You have been in complete silence for the past 5 minutes, you have been struggling to start a conversation. You look towards your comrade in search for help

Perry: (In pokésigns) what do I talk about?

Murkrow: Shiny stuff

Meowth: Females love shiny stuff, even more than males

Abra: ….Human stuff
(You can communicate with Pokémon, but some of them aren´t very communicative)

This isn’t helping. It´s easier to talk wit Pokémon. Maybe you can talk about Pokémon? Yeah that seems like a decent idea

Perry: So… Kali, what kind of Pokémon are you looking for? Which types do you like?

[Blue] Kali: They must be…..Strong, I need a strong Pokémon. And dragons, seems like the strongest. Even though, I doubt we can find one at the shelter or in the city… I mean, the shelter is fine really! Thanks for helping me out Perry! What about you? [/Blue]

Honestly, I like every kind of Pokémon! Ghost types, Electric types, Fire types, Bug types, Normal Types...It’s seems hard to pick favorites! Even though, Dragons don't seem to like me very much

[Blue] Kali: You´ve seen Dragon types? Where?!

Perry: Rarely, usually they are just passing by the city. I always try to communicate with them, but they usually just ignore me or leave

[Blue] Kali: You have any idea why? I thought you were some kind of “friend of all Pokémon” [/Blue]

Perry: Dad says is a “family thing”

You finally arrive to the shelter it’s a pretty big building filled with cages different type of cages according to the type of Pokémon its holding and this one´s “classification.”

Roaming the installations and in the first cages are the more docile of Pokémon, they are the ones with more chances of adoption and the ones that can be more easily trained, they also tend to become Pokémon of public service.

At the back there are bigger cages for stray Pokémon that have been brought here for causing trouble and violent behavior, many of them never leave the shelter…

Across a hall there's a room for sick and injured Pokémon, the volunteers at the shelter try their best to cure them, but since the shelter runs on donation money, medical equipment and medicines can be expensive and hard to come by so many of them aren't so lucky. If only they had one of those machines they have overseas…

Which ones do you want to see?

>The more docile ones (easier to train)
>The more aggressive and troublesome ones
>The sick ones (your parents can help you heal them)
>Let Kali choose
>Other/ write in
>>
>>2755820
>The more aggressive and troublesome ones

also new quest guys. lets make a bunch of money and save the pokemon shelter
>>
>>2755755
I think took the decision without thinking it enough

So let's fix that

>Dragon's don't like us
>The Dragons we've met were way too prideful to acknowledge a puny human like us
>>
>>2755820
>The sick ones (your parents can help you heal them)
Take the time to take care of them till they are healthy and they will certainly be some of the most loyal/appreciative
>>
>>2755820
>The more docile ones (easier to train)
This is probably what Kali would appreciate the most
>>
>>2755835
>The dragons we've met were way too prideful to acknowledge a puny human like us
>>2755820
>The most docile ones
>>
>>2755820
>The more docile ones (easier to train)
We should see what Pokemon are in the shelter, so we can make a informed choice.

>>2755835
>The Dragons we've met were way too prideful to acknowledge a puny human like us
>>
>>2755755
I think its cool. Doesn't mean we can't get one just means we have to earn it. Its a cute twist on our autistic poke whisperer thing we got going on.
>>
>>2755820
>The more aggressive and troublesome ones
>Dragons don't like us, probably because we treat then the same as any other Pokemon and their price doesn't like that.
>>
>>2755855
Actually, now that I think about it, she said she wants strong Pokemon, so I'm changing my vote to:
>The more aggressive and troublesome ones
>>
>>2755875
So Dragons are Chads and don't hang with the Virgin. Is what your saying?
>>
>>2755820
>Let Kali choose
>>
>>2755903
Sure
>>
>>2755884
>>2755825
>>2755877
Aggressive ones

>>2755842
Sick ones

>>2755861
>>2755873
Docile

So aggressive ones first. You and Kali make way through the shelter, passing though the different cages of Pokémon, the last cages are marked with red sticker that read "Warning, violent behaviour" Some of them stare at you and Kali, others fail to acknowledge your presence

These Pokémon are:

Houndoom: who can't stop growling at you

Mankey: who punches the bars of his cage frantically

Cacnea: Who strangely seems way too happy to see you both

Whismur: He seems young, and It can't stops crying, he is behind a little soundproof glass

Growlithe: he is in a corner of his cage, glaring at you, Kali seems interested in this Pokémon, getting near his cage

What would you do?

> Talk to Kali about the Growlithe

*Houndour

You are totally right
>>
>>2755937
> Talk to Kali about the Growlithe
Warn her about how she’s going to approach it if she’s that interested in it. You can’t just walk up to an angry dog after all. Take it slow, get as low to eye level as possible and keep a safe distance from it. It will need to feel comfortable with her presence else it will more than likely bite her if given the chance.
>>
>>2755937
> Talk to Kali about the Growlithe
Don't trust that cacnea. When I worked in a kennel some of the most violent animals seemed the nicest at first. Then you got close and they'd go for your eyes while purring.
>>
>>2755961
i thought something was off
>>
>>2755937
>>Try to talk to the Growlithe and Houndour

Also, do the Aggressive Pokemon carry any benefits? Like, of docile are easier to train, are the aggressive stronger to some degree?
>>
>>2756018
I voted aggressive because I thought they were the ones that we could feasibly help the most.
>>
>>2756034
picking docile is like picking easy mode on your tenth playtrough. we gotta challenge ourselves
>>
>>2756041
Wouldn't that be the sick ones then?
>>
>>2756041
It's like going to the pound and worrying about the puppies and kittens not getting adopted.
>>
>>2755937
> Talk to Kali about the Growlithe
What are you guys thinking for us? The Cacnea seems like a hard no, if it’s in the troublesome section and is happy to see us. Whismur maybe? I did always like that evolution chain. Houndour seems like a good choice as well.
>>
>>2756044
the sick and docile ones are more likely to be picked up than the aggressive ones if we use that line of thinking
>>
>>2756047
I'd like to check the sick ones
>>
>>2756050
Docile ones sure, but I’m much more doubtful many people would willingly go for the sick/injured ones that much.

>Talk about the Growlithe

Perry: Sooo Growlithe?

Kali: Yes, he seems strong and fierce, but not as rampant as the others… Could you talk to him? Tell him I want to be his trainer

Perry: I can try, just, don’t get weirded out

Kali: I promise!

The Pokémon is still glaring at you, his eyes and postures saying “piss off”

You get in all fours, down to his eye level, you start breathing slowly, getting as relaxed as possible, open to conversation (with pokémon), you start sniffing the air surrounding you looking for the Growlithe scent. The pokémon notices this and starts sniffing back, his postures become a tad less rigid, you start making motions with your head, signaling that you want to “talk” with him, the Pokémon stares at you, and then to Kali, He thinks about for a second before finally approaching you

Growlithe: (Poké-Interpretation): What do you want, human?

>Ask him why he is here
>Tell him Kali wants to be his trainer
>Ask him if he wants to get out of here
>Other/write in
>>
>>2756047
I could go for whismur.

>>2756050
That tends to be the case. I'm not sure if a wire got crossed or something but what I meant was that the aggressive ones need more help than the docile or sick ones and it's something we could help with.
>>
>>2756063
>Ask him if he wants to get out of here
>>
>>2756063
>Ask him why he is here
Could potentially have been something that wasn't his fault. Plus I'm pretty sure it's obvious he'd want out of here.
>>
>>2756018
They have benefits, depending on the pokémon. The outright aggressive ones for example, would have an easier time adapting to battle, but they would be harder to control and make them listen to us

If you want to know in more depth detail about the pokémon, interact with them or talk to the workers at the shelter

>Why are you here?

Growlithe: Because humans are cowards and liars
Growlithe then tells you his history. He only wanted to be stronger, over everything else, and the best way to get strong is to get yourself a “Master”. So, he went to look for one, leaving his pack behind. “I finally found a young “Master” on the outskirts of town, fighting with his Pokémon against wild ones. I jumped to the battle, I defeated his servants, one after one they fell to my bite and my flames. I proved my superiority against his weak Pokémon and my right to serve. But he didn’t even try to capture me. He just screamed for help to the older ones, I decided to flee, to find a better Master, but the men dressed in blue caught me, they put me in this cage without a second thought “

>You want to get out of here?

Growlithe perks out a little when hearing the proposition

Growlithe: You want to be my master?

Perry: This girl here, wants to be your master, she is looking for a strong Pokémon, like you!

Growlithe: You have proved your worth, you hear me Human, but this girl here, what does she offers? I can’t trust humans so easily anymore

>I think you both would make a great team! (Convice the Growlithe)

You explain to Kali about the situation with the Growlithe, somehow this makes her look… ecstatic?

Kali: You are the best Perry! I know I could trust you with this

Kali takes out something from her bag. It seems like a candy? Well, giving treats to Pokémon it’s a common practice, although caramels wouldn’t be your first choice, also it can’t create a bad habit if they get used to them…. Wait that’s not a normal candy

Kali unwraps the weird shiny, almost glowing candy and passes it through the bars of the Pokémon cage. The Growlithe sniffs it´s out, gives him a little lick, and then eats the rare candy. Are those even legal? Almost immediately his pupils suddenly contract, fire starts producing from the Pokémon´s mouth with every agitated breath. He then let’s out an enhanced ember attack, heating the bars of his cage until they are red hot and missing us barely.

The Pokémon looks at Kali and barks, Kali can´t stop grinning

Growlithe: Are you not afraid of me?

Kali: We´ll take this one!

What will you do?

Voting to talk with the Houndour. I'd really like a Ghastly or something like that, though...
Then again, I don't think Ghost -types would be in a shelter.
>>
It would be cool if we could just go around asking Pokemon to join and never use a Pokeball but have a feeling that we would have a problem with someone stealing our friends away

Wouldn't sex give us a better bond with the pokemon? Something to think about as a Pokemon trainer.

Whismur

You let Kali get on with the adoption process. Meanwhile, you decide to check out a couple on two Pokémon

Whismur is easy to read, he is just a baby. It's seems more scared than anything. You aks one of the volunteers about it. A local family issued a complaint to the local authorities since the whismur was causing and uproar nearby by his crying. He was probably separated from his mother, since he is still in is nursing stage judging by his little plate of poké-formula
>>
>>2757202
i agree, and not just to make op write smut
>>
>>2757203
hmmm, bonding while theyre young would be good for loyalty, but not for the battle ahead.

I say still check everyone else out before making a final decision.
>>
>>2757122
No.
>>
>>2757199
Maybe if we get them while they are in heat, since that's a thing.
Romans used to do that to slaves to be submissive.
But we could do it, if we form a bond with the pokemon.

>>2757208
We don't even need it as smut, since we can just think of it in our minds.

Houndour seems completely pissed, but his anger isn't caused by you or his captors. He seems to be complaining about something else. You decide to listen to him, maybe he'll explain it more clearly. You repeat the same process you did when talking to growlithe. He doesn't calm down as much as the other pokémon but at least he becomes easier to understand.

Apparently he and his pack got attacked by group of trainers. They got the jump on them while they were sleeping in its home near the dump. He stayed back and let the younger ones escape. He is furious about how trainers think they can just appear out of nowhere and beat the shit out of unexpecting Pokémon.

Discord is kind of a mixed bag
I don't think we need it
>>
>>2757234
why not?

>>2757233
hmm, i have no idea how to approach this. One one hand we can say we agree and take him with us but then we will still be making him battle, on the other hand we could take him with us and not have him battle, just be there like a regular dog and take someone else as a fighter.

or we could just not bother with them

either way i say after this we should see the sick/injured

If it gets enough support, yeah sure make a discord, I´ve seen many quests with them, but I never have gotten into one

>>2757233
actually, lets ask the houndour if it wants to come with us, and tell it it wont need to battle if it doesnt want to (or even bring it back to its home and release it, though there are probably some laws against releasing wild pokemon near a city
>>
>>2757248
If we are going to have a discord, I would want the OP to make it. If someone else make it, they could one day decide to delete it

>>2757233
Ask the houndour to come with us. To either be released or be our pokemon
>>
>>2757233
Before making a decision you decide to check out the infirmary area. There are various pokémon resting in little beds. Others are in corners of the room laying down, they seem really tired and kind of sad

There's a Psyduck who got caught up on a fishing line while swimming, leaving him wit a really nasty cut on one of his arm

There's a Smoochum with an intense heat stroke, the arid and hot climate of North Pass city wasn't meant for Ice-types, what is she doing here?

In one of the bed, there's a pikachu who seems straight up comatose, he probably doesn't have much time left

A Mime jr is also in intensive care, he seems to be really beaten up, with nasti bruises and cuts all over his body, he moves slowly and weakly

your descriptions are too good, i want to take all these pokemon home (also, dont they have a fridge they can shove that smoochum into?)

Man, it seems like a lot of pokémon need help. More than you can give in all honesty. It may be tough but you really need to make a decision.

Each one provides a home, but I'm guessing that we'll run ourselves into debt trying to take care everyone. Not to say what our family will say.
Some can be easily saved

>>2757288
>Volunteer at the shelter as a part-timer?
>Decide on one Pokémon, (Houndour)
I'm thinking we spent the day at the shelter, which will give us enough time to get Houndour. It seems like a nice all rounder, protecting the young ones and all that.
>>
>>2757288
>check out the docile ones

also, do you have everything priced? how much would a heal cost, if this adoption center cant afford it apparently
>>
>>2757285
You can come up with some way to keep the smoochum fresh.

The number of pokémon depends on the housing conditions, you house can currently afford to house 3 (small) Pokémon

A medium pokémon counts as having 2 small ones

A big pokémon counts as housing 3

And there´s certain species who cannot be kept without a Pokéball by law

>>
>>2757300
It actually isn't that expensive. $200 for a single full-heal and $500 for a full team heal (trainer benefits)

The problem is, that thanks to current laws, only Pokémon with legal owners apply for professional medical care. This law has been passed to reduce the numbers of stray Pokémon in the city.
>>
So far I'm partial to getting Houndour out and working part-time,see if we can't waive the fee by doing so. I guess checking the docile ones can't hurt, though.

so far im leaning towards
1 docile
1houndour
+ working part time to save money for our fursui- uhh, i mean to buy more pokemon

There's a machop who's helping the volunteers with the feed of the other Pokémon , he seems serious and eager to work

A little, cute and playful skitty is trying to get you attention purring between you legs and rubbing against you

A slakoth sleeps lazily on the cold floor, content with life

A Lotad watches everybodies moves, he seems like a curious and inquisitive Pokémon

I want to chat with:

-Pikachu (What exactly happened to the poor thing that it ended up like this)
>>
>>2757348
>Check a Pokémon who you didn't talk to?
That Pikachu that's totally not just a well-disguised Mimikyu.

You'd imagine that with enough Psychic-types around, one of them might be able to snap it out of its coma if it's a mental affliction.
>>
>>2757348
>slakoth

>ask about part timing

also theoretically if we wanted a place to ourselves Hokkaido (where the first pokemon reigon is loosley based off of) has decently sized houses that can go for as low as 20,000 or a house with a small bit of attatched land for like 50k
>>2757366

we get on all fours and shit when we talk to pokemon so we probably shouldnt do it in publick

The story of Ash Ketchum is a tale told to little kids in the eastern regions meant to teach them that even if they fail, they should never give up

should we or should we not take the machop? i dont want to because obviously its helping out around here and two extra sets or arms are always nice but on the otherhand more dakka
>>
>>2757381
I dont really think we should because its helping out. I think our character would feel bad about taking it
>>
>>2757381
>>2757391
I could see us on-paper adopting the Machop purely so that it can't get taken away by another trainer on the lookout for a Pokemon, and then just telling it we're fine with it spending all its time volunteering here anyway - just come visit some time and hang with our crew if ever it has a moment.

Not sure our wallet could take it, though.
>>
>>2757391
this is why we need a discord so conversations can go faster. but i digress, i say we take the houndour, and the whismur, tell the front desk about the pikatchu in a coma and about part timing then work from there
>>
>>2757402
then, tell the houndour about the battle we have to do to graduate, if it doesnt want to battle then tell it "just this one battle then youre free to refuse or decline whenever you want"

basically allow it to set its own terms

The problem is new people in the thread/archive don't be able to follow our conversations. Which puts people off, also we don't be able show the whole story.

I feel since it does take time to do captcha on 4chan we can have better conversations as we think things though before we post

>>2757402
>this is why we need a discord
No quest actually needs discord, the only useful thing about it is that the QM can ask for pics to use in the thread if he's not prepared.
Between having faster conversations and not having a dead thread I'd rather we just avoid discord entirely and stick with the threads, most of the discord devolves into memes and shitposting anyway, only with faster delivery, also porn.

Why not both? ;^) (Joke)

but, back on topic i say we get houndour and one other pokemon so we have a failsafe in case he doesnt want to fight (though in hindsight we have a whole week so we could just wait another day)

also, op what are the policies on battling wild pokemon? could we theoretically take a baseball bat with us to assist, cause thatd be rad our friendos

>>2757434

My idea would be part time, today. At the end of the day we could get Houndour since he calm down a bit. And go off to the forest to battle.

Maybe adopt Machop as a failsafe, but let him keep volunteering in the shelter.
>>
i think were getting sidetracked, can everyone post their decision please? im still going with>>2757370

Sorry for the wait, got some irl things to do, and It seemed like some time for discussion was needed

Perhaps I gave too much choices

So what I'm getting here is

> Talk to houndoom after it calms down, explain our situation and come to an agreement with it (Needs roll D20 best of three) Write.ins can lower DC (12)

>Calm down the Whismur, let's bring him home. How? write ins can lower DC (8) D20 best of three

>Adopt the machop, in paper, leave him here

>Check the comatose pikachu

>Ask about part timing

Is that good?
>>
>>2757444
Totally, there's no laws against it, go nuts. but you'll probably get wrecked, Pokémon are REALLY strong behind their cutesy appearance, also Pokémon probably won't like you much for it, some will respect you for that but those are weird cases.
>>
>>2757480
Can we do them on increasing order of commitment? That is, ask around and talk to the Pokemon first before finalizing the adoptions, since we presumably can't go back on who we pick?
>>
>>2757487
Yeah sure
just select an order to do so ranking them from:

1: (First)
to
4: (Last)

>>2757497
also along with check on the coma'd pikachu tell the front desk about it afterwards if it is just a pikachu in a coma
>>
>>2757492
I'm fine with whatever order as long as adoption comes last, since it's irreversible. Will defer to other anons for the specific order of the others.

>>2757484
But wait! What if instead of a baseball bat, we used something like a Metapod or a Cascoon?
>>
>>2757480
Adopt houndour
Check the Pikachu
Ask about part timing.
Do not adopt the Machop.
>>
>>2757497
Why adopting the Machop ahead of checking out the Pikachu, though?
>>
>>2757501
or a taser for non electric types, and a squirt gun for electric types

>>2757492
I forgot to say, you can do more than 4 things, you can do all 6 things if you like

There's really no reason to adopt the Machop. If we want to pick him for the team, sure, but as it stands we're not accomplishing anything by owning him on paper. If the shelter wants the help, it'll keep him around. One of the workers might adopt, the manager or something. Or just let him stay there unowned but docile. Leave him be, he's got a good thing going for him and we don't need to get involved.
>>
>>2757514
>This is totally viable and I will allow it
Guess it's time to beat Caterpies to death with that comatose Pikachu. Once we swat enough bugs, it'll gain hitpoints from leveling just like when you use a rare candy and go back into the positives.

And if not, then it'll have the honor of being the first Pokemon leveled to 100 while completely unconscious.
>>
>>2757498
You make the pokemon wear it in battle, if it isn´t clothing you can fashion something simiñar to a collar for them, I'll leave the design to you guys

wait no by lets not do that i meant lets not just own him on paper and bring him with us
>>
>>2757562
If we're going to adopt him we're going to take him with us. So I'm okay with either or.
So let's take him with us
>>
>>2757567
cool.
>>
>>2757562
>>2757567
Wasn't the argument not to take it with us because it already has a thing going on here, and it wouldn't be in-character to drag it away? If we are thinking of adopting it, surely we should at the very minimum talk to it first?
>>
>>2757572
hmm that too, im contradicting myself because im the one who made that point originally. I think talkinig with him would be good but what would we say "hey you cant help humans anymore, youre gonna fight for me" unless we have some goal to build a pokemon sanctuary or something and tell the machop he will help people and pokemon alike and make it seem like some kind of righteous goal
>>
>>2757504
>>2757508
Let's start moving on

You decide to check out the Pikachu before taking a final decision, it´s pretty weird, the electrodes connected to them do not register the signature electrical activity of the Pokémon, but they can detect his heart rate, you swear you can see him breathe slowly. His eyes are closed, and he seem kind of rigid, there´s an Iv connected to him, but you can't see any veins. The workers told you that he has two more days until the plug comes off, since they got too much things in their hands with so little personal, the Pokémon hasn´t been getting the attention it needs.

Such tragic existence. You sense a ominous feeling surrounding the Pikachu, it feels like a voice, one that is in pain.

>>2757583
If we can't talk it into coming with us of its own accord now, unilaterally adopting it without consulting it beforehand isn't likely to have it see us any better.

Adopting it on paper was always a 'this would be in-character' thing rather than a 'this is the optimal play' thing. If we can't afford it, don't do it. If we can afford it, it's up to all the voters to decide if roleplaying an empathic pokeautist in this way is worth 500 in-game pokedollars.

If the Pikachu is having difficulty breathing even with that helping it, the problem may extend beyond some kind of physical injuries. Ventilators are designed specifically to help patients breathe that can't do so under their own power.

Calm down, calm down, remember what (little) you learned from your parents

“In case of suffocation the basic of PCR differ from one species to another, to make the process more practical the Pokémon are categorized in the following categories….”

That´s useless! Remember Field egg group, small electric types… ehh

Percy: HELP! ANYONE! HELP!

The workers notice you, hurrying to attend to the Pikachu, the monitor displays it´s hearth rate getting progressively faster and faster.

Percy: IT CAN´T BREATHE!

One of the volunteers notices some kind of obstruction on the Pokémon throat.
Somehow, something has gotten stuck on it, which makes no sense for a comatose Pokémon

The volunteers try to open the Pokémon mouth to remove the object but its no use. Machop comes running to the rescue applying the Heimlich maneuver to the dying Pokémon. After various try, the object is finally dislodged, flying across the room , way too fast for anyone to see. Your attention returns to the Pikachu, you are hoping for the best, you are imagining the little guy getting better, waking up, meeting a good trainer that would raise him with care and love for the rest of his life.

But it´s no use

The monitor isn’t displaying it´s heartbeat any longer

Pikachu is dead

You manage to remain more or less caml, and start applying CPR to the Pokemon, get his heart going again.

But it's no use. you start pressing the llitle Pokémon chest, and helping him breathe

1.2.3 BREATH 1,2,3 BREATH, you repeat over and over, every time with a little more force, this goes on for about 5 minutes

Volunteer 1: I´m sorry kid, but It´s no use...

Kali looks at you, very preocuppied

Volunteer 2: We tried everything we could...

Volunteer 3: He is in a better place know...

Ok, actual last post


Kali and growlithe walks towards you, she seems worried about you.

Kali: Are you ok Percy? Do you need to talk?

Percy: I´m fine... I just, need to go to the bathroom for a little bit

You follow the instructions of the volunteers and head out to the bathroom. You lock yourself in and open your bag. The little guy stares (?) at you.

Percy: Ok, I demand an explanation about that whole "hiding in a Pikachu corpse thing" or I will tell everyone what you just did

Mimikyu: NOT PIKACHU CORPSE

The cloth covering him makes him a little hard to read.

Mimikyu:VERY GOOD PIKACHU DOLL, FROM BIG HOUSE

Mimikyu: DOLL WAS A PIKACHU, BUT NOW IS DOLL

Mimikyu: ME BRING DOLL HERE, GET INSIDE DOLL. BUT DOLL VERY HARD, CAN´T MOVE ON DOLL

Mimikyu: ME STUCK, CAN´T GET OUT, PRETEND TO BE HIS INSIDES

They aren't really health professionals, just
overworked employees trying their damn best to help Pokémon
(Their best isn't good enough)

Also the doll, was a taxidermied Pikachu, it was a very professional job, the Pokémon seems alive to an eerily degree. Whoever made this, or ordered to make it must have inverted a lot of money to get this thing done.

This detail can or cam´t be plot relevant depending on later decisions.

You explain your situation to the Houndour, you tell him about the tournament next week and that you think he would be a great partner!

He seems like the best fighter!
And in exchange, you'll let him set the conditions for this agreement, you would not put him inside a Pokéball, and when the tournament is over he is free to go, if he chooses to. You ask him for some trust, not all trainers are the same

He thinks it over for a little while and tells you:

[I] Houndour: I'll do it human, but I want something in exchange

Houndour: Help me find a safe place for my pack, where their offspring cannot be harmed

Houndour: You seem to care for our kind, more so than the usual masters. Don't let me down human. [/i]

"I'll do the best I can."

We might have to put him in a Pokeball, though, no? Is it okay to have him walk with us if he's so aggressive?
>>
>>2759514
The test states that the Pokémon you bring to the tournament must not be caught

Besides there's no (legal) way to get Pokéballs until you get your license

Also writing...
>>
>>2759514

>Is it okay to have him walk with us if he's so aggressive?
He was just pissed at his circumstances, bunch of trainers coming along beating the shit out of his pack and he got put at the shelter for protecting the younglings, of course he'd be pissed.
but he's clearly smart, he knows not to start useless shit right? We can tell him what would happen if he attacked a trainer unprovoked right? if anything, the Growlithe was much more prone to aggressive than Houndour, but hearing his side, he only attacked other Pokemon to prove themselves a superior catch to a trainer.
Honestly, with our Pokeautism powers, I doubt any of the aggressive pokemon here are really aggressive at all.

The deal is done!

But before you sign the adoption papers, there's a little someone who has been in your mind for a while

The little whismur is still crying non-stop albeit not as desperately as before

You look at him and he seems to acknowledge you. He is still too young to reason with

How will you try to calm him?

Open it's cage and...

>>2759563
Wait, isn't the Whismur behind soundproof glass? Opening its cage while it's crying seems like a bad idea.

Whismurs basically work by crying themselves to the point of exhaustion, don't they? I wonder what's preventing this one from getting tired from all the crying and going to sleep.

Maybe we should speak to one of the workers here and ask about it.

I’m pretty sure they breathe through their ear canals, so covering them seems like a bad idea.

Is it possible that we can take the taxidermied Pikachu, it seems a neat thing to have, and we can give it back to who own when we meet the plot relevant person.

The little pink Pokémon stares at the food you just gave him. It curiosity piqued. Whismur starts touching the treat and then licking it´s paw, after tasting it she practically gulps it down.
The Whismur just keeps staring at you, no longer crying, it looks like it´s trying to say something but can’t find the way to express it. It just presses itrself against the glass separating you and her. What will you do?

You show the little glutton more of the treats, trying to gesticulate that if (she?, upon closer inspection you realize it's a female) well, if, she keeps quiet she could get more. The Whismur shuts his mouth almost comically.

You tell the employees
that you will get her out of the cage. They just nod, it seems that they just realized that the "Dead Pikachu" is actually taxidermied and are breaking their heads over this fact.

The little pink blob extends its arms to you, waiting for it's food, you comply, giving her another piece. The noises she makes are now barely audible, but she seems, kind of happy

After it's meal you finally tell her she should come with us. Explaining her as simple and slowly as possible. You don't need to say it twice, the Pokémon it´s extending their little arms, she wants you to carry her

Seems like we are done here, or are we?

But you feel good about your choices. Houndour will be of great help during the next test.you managed to calm the Whismur down and now seems pretty friendly, and Mimikyu, well, he seems pretty loyal albeit he is a little strange.

After signing the necessary paper work these Pokémon are now under your care officialy, you are more less responsible for their lives and any damage they could cause to private property and other individuals

Yay!

Here is a question: What is our objective?

Perry is trying to get his trainer license, yes, but for what purpose?
Will he be a traveler attempting the League Challenge?
Is he just wanting an excuse to enslave the Dragons that will not be his Pokéfriends?
Does he just want to fill up a Pokédex?

If we do not have a more clear understanding of our motivation behind this task, there are no stakes to passing the license exam.

That said, if we have no objective than even if we fail we could probably still travel beside Kali as her whiteknight assistant for communicating with Pokémon and/or temper her "I HAVE to have strong Pokémon" attitude and prevent her from going down a bad road.

>Let's keep being partners, training together (Mediun/Hard DC)

A license is not necessary for a journey unless the ability to capture Pokémon is a vital part of the journey.

>She won't even be our friend after that whole spiel about not being a weirdo and not wanting to take advantage.
This feels weird, I get the partner part but wouldn't she stoop to friendship at least, after we spent an entire afternoon at the shelter, had some talks and helped her pick a strong pokemon?
Friendship should have warranted a + bonus like with our written test.
now it really seems this chick was really stringing us along, hard, and we fell hook, line and sinker.

Dear diary: I have acquired more pokemon buddies, yet human friendship still eludes me, am I the problem? No, it is the humans who are wrong.
>>
>>2761576
I have to imagine one of two things happened: either we sperged out so badly that she was completely repulsed and hates us now (which is unlikely since we didn't actually crit fail) or we didn't actually manage to get our request out, likely because we couldn't speak properly through all the spaghetti we were choking on. If we'd rolled lower, I might also have suggested we somehow fainted at the prospect of getting our first human friend.

A standard failure at a progress-this-relationship roll probably oughtn't to cause our relationship with her to deteriorate, at any rate, just not improve.

You awkward motherfucker

Percy: I was thinking we could keep doing this! You know, being partners! And maybe, we can, you now, be-be more than that….

Kali seems taken aback

Kali: Wow, Perry, I’m … flattered, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, I mean, we’ve just met, and I mean, there’s nothing wrong with you, but I´m not looking for that kind of relationship

Percy: I MEANT BECOME FRIENDS, JUST FRIENDS. IM NOT INTO YOU IN THAT WAY YOU KNOW? I WASN´T PICTURING GOING ON DATES, INTRODUCING YOU TOO MY PARENTS, AND ALL THAT JAZZ CAUSE YOU ARE THE FIRST FEMALE NOT RELATED TO ME I CAN’T TALK TO MORE OR LESS NORMALLY. JUST POKEFRIENDS

Kali: The thing is…. I think that wouldn’t be a good idea either…

Percy: …why?

Kali: Don’t take this wrong way, please, but I tend to attract a lot of, ehm, unwanted “attention”. And I think, It could be troublesome, specially to someone as , ehm, “socially impaired” as you if you became entangled on that, besides this upcoming week I will be too busy with my training to hang out with you

Percy: So, that’s a no for the “partnering together”?

Kali: I’m sorry Percy, I just think it would be better for the both of us if we focused on our own way of training, besides I would just get on your way

Percy: … That’s okay , I get it…

Kali: I’m sorry Percy, I just think it would be better for the both of us if we focused on our own way of training, besides I would just get on your way

Kali: It´s not that I don’t want to be you friend! I know it’s sounds like excuses, but I really can’t right now… wait, just give me a minute!
>>
>>2761564
Kali gets a little piece of paper from her bag, writes something and gives it to you

>>2761564


>Last minute save

>“You obtained Kali online contact info!”

Kali: After all of this “getting our licenses” thing is over, you could, send me a message? Maybe we can get in contact then. But please, for this week, let's keep each to our own, ok?

Kali: I know this seems like a cop-out, but I really need to go now, let’s meet once we are trainers!

Well that happened

It´s seems your friends left a while ago, Abra is constantly moving to avoid being catched, and Murkrow and Meowth are always on the lookout for nice, shiny stuff

>Go home, on the way, talk to our new Pokéfriends about the rules at our house and where they will be staying: your room It’s good enough for Whismur and Mimikyu, Houndour could sleep on the floor or in the backyard, also how will you deal with Mr.Snob? He has quite the temper regarding other Pokémon

You cowards. You should have gone big. You should have dreamed. Look at your rolls, and what happened. We could've sealed the deal.

I can say he is a mean old bastard, bitter with the modern world. Hates the modern Pokémon training system and just like Drake wishes it would go back to it's more unregulated

Hates your Dad (His Son), and dislikes you by extension

Seems to be on good terms with your mom and sister weirdly enough

He is also the strongest trainer you've ever seen. Makes you wonder why he never went Pro.

In your way home, you tell the Pokémon about your home. Whismur and Mimikyu will be staying in your room. The pink Pokémon seems a little nervous but reassured by the idea of being near you.
Mimikyu: YES, this will be optimal for watching over master

Houndour agrees to stay over in the pet house you have in the backyard. It was originally for Mr.Snob but he always sleeps in your sister´s room.

Houndour: Just don’t let anyone bother me

Mr.Snob seems to be aware of the presence of the Pokémon, trying to sniff them out, you threw a treat at him, getting you enough time to pass him by and get everyone in your room. You feel exhausted and before doing anything else you need some rest. Whismur cuddles up in a corner of your bed, he seems tired from all the crying, Mimikyu is just gone when you open the bag.

Mimikyu: DO NOT WORRY MASTER, I can see every corner of the room from here…

Just were the hell did he went?

Tomorrow is Sunday, so you’ll go down to the slums to help Houndour out and fulfill your part of the deal, then we can get on with the training.

After a well-deserved nap you notice you have some time left before it gets too late, what will you do?

>Search for Mimikyu, he must still be on this room (DC: HARD)

Bring Whismur along as well, if only because I’d be worried about something setting him off and causing him to burst the eardrums of everything within ten meters of him without our supervision. Our Pokefriends can of course come along as well if they want. Tell Mimikyu to slip into our bag or whatever in the morning, if he feels like coming along as well. As for supplies, are we allowed to use items? If so, bring some potions along I guess, no need to get too fancy. Oh yeah, and if we can afford them, some Pokeballs. Even if we can’t officially catch them before this event happens, we should keep some handy for after, if Houndour and the others agree to join up with us in the long term.

also...

Let's review the area first. From what Houndour has told you, his back moves back and forth from three points: Edge of the residential area, Near the city dumpster and an abandoned Factory. Poison and Dark Pokémon proliferate the area, but they aren't the only ones residing there.

You'll take Whismur with you, as he is too small to leave home alone, when asked Mimikyu states that he can't let you out of his sight since "Protecting master is most important

Besides your $1000 you have some savings on your room (about 10,000) so you could take some extra cash and get some supplies on the way.

>Food: $200 For each Pokémon
>Potion: $300
>Antidote: $100
>Full heal: $600
>Repel: $350
>Pokéball (Maybe you could get an employee to sell you some even if you don't have a license yet?): $200

Also, you looked up the information Kali gave you and you find her online profile.You have a couple of minutes to spare so you...

Roll a D20 best of three

15-20: Remind yourself to send her a message after this week.

10-15: Scroll down a little on her profile, maybe see what kind of things she likes? (If she notices you were seeing her profile she may react negatively) (+ chances of mentioning your stalking during a "sperg-out")


5-10: You seen enough of her profile, maybe search some photos of her... you know.. because, ehm, that's what "almost friends" do? (++ chances of mentioning your stalking during a "sperg-out")

You were about to start searching for some “saucy summer vacation on the beach photos” when suddenly a memory pops up in your head.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OUP_Z3iZPs

Dad: C’mere champ, we need to talk

Little Percy: What´s up dad?

Dad: Well, son, I feel you are getting near the age when you’ll be starting to notice girls, and I wanted to give you some advice in the matter… before it’s too late

Little Percy: But I don’t like to play with girls, I´m good playing with Pokémon!

Dad: I know champ, but listen to me, this advice could be very useful in your future

Dad: You see, Women may seem complicated sometimes, unapproachable even, but you mustn’t forget that in many, many ways, they are just like you and me

Little Percy: I´m not following

Dad: The point is, that you mustn’t be nervous to talk to girls, especially pretty girls. They can notice this nervousness and give them a wrong idea about you

Dad:..It´s like, when you see a rare Pokémon it catches your attention right?

Little Percy: Yeah!

Dad: But do you treat it differently from any other of your of Pokéfriends?

Little Percy: Of course not! You should be nice to all Pokémon!

Dad: Now you get it

Little Percy: I’m not sure I do Dad

Dad: Nah, you’ll be fine, just be polite. Also, like with rare Pokémon, don’t stare at them too much, they might get weirded out, or scared, like with that Lopunny the other day

Little Percy: She made me feel funny….

Dad: That’s why we are going to the psychologist Percy

Thankfully that funny feeling was nothing more than the effect of the move “Baby-Doll Eyes” on the human body

You make a list of things to get for tomorrow and take out enough money for them. ($2100)

They simulate the characteristic of various big species of Pokémon when they are under stress, and are acting particularly violent.

This scares most Pokémon, even though there's the rumor that the scent can sometimes attract powerful Pokémon in search for a challenge

The earlier the better

You wave your family goodbye, telling them you got a long day of training after you.

You are soon on your bike on way to a Poké mart near the slums. Houndour runs alongside you, Mimikyu is in your bag, and Whismur is grabbing tightly onto your shirt, since he is still small he isn't really heavy.

Your Pokéfriends notice you going out and are soon following behind.


Obtained:

>3 portions of food
>2 potions
>3 Antidotes
>1 Full Heal

Lost ($2100)
Current (at hand) $0

You are all stocked up and ready to go!

How will this go?


>Everyone goes together, you accompany Houndour to search for his pack, and then you all go in search for a safe place

>Houndour will go search for his pack, meanwhile you can start searching for a safe place, you'll met at an specific location, will someone accompany him?

also, which area you want to check out first?

>Edge of the residential area: There's a lot of abandoned houses, whole empty neighborhood. But it isn't weird to see the occasional wandering trainer and the "Defense and Capure Corps"

>Near the city dumpster: The less populated area by other Pokémon, trainers tend to stay away from it, but the Pokémon that DO live in are of mostly poisonous, also the smell could be a problem if it is too strong

>Abandoned Factory: A massive, maze like construction, has a dense population of Pokémon, authorities stay away from it normally, hostile trainers get attacked by hordes of Pokémon. That being said these Pokémon can be quite hostile to one another

I dont really see this working in our favor. We bought the houndour but what if someone picks him up again? We have no assurances he will not be picked up at the shelter again as far as I can tell. Hell a wandering trainer could capture him and then he is just gone.
>>
>>2764293
>>2764321
Considering he'll be fully hostile to anyone remotely threatening, I don't think he'll be in danger of getting caught but he could get hurt so I'll change the search vote to go together with him. Also it'll probably help build trust and make him stick with us after we get our license.
>>
>>2764240
>Everyone goes together, you accompany Houndour to search for his pack, and then you all go in search for a safe place

This way we don't lose sight of him and no one can capture him. This also works in our favor because then we can ask them where they think a safe place might be that we can help them move into.

Let's go together!

After finding his pack you'll go to the factory

Houndour starts barking and howling and waiting for a response.

After getting more deep in the ghetto you finally came face to face with the Pokémon pack. They seem wary and angry because of your presence:

You quickly get on position, almost by reflex, and start your little dialogue with full honesty

Percy: Wait a second, I'm not here to capture or cause anyone harm, I just want to help Houndour to find a new home for you guys!

The four houndour growling at you remain restless, from behind you a bigger figure emerges. It's an old and ferocious looking Houndoom, seems like he was guarding the puppies.

He looks at his pack, telling them to stand by, then looks quickly at Houndour and finally right into your eyes.

Houndoom: Can we trust him?

Houndour: He speaks the truth, he will help us


Houndoom still seems a little doubtful, it's normal after what happened to his pack.

Houndoom: Is he your "Master"?

Houndour: ... No, he is ... our friend


There's a little pause, the Leader takes a full minute to see you from head to toe, he moves towards you and behinds circling you. You feel Mimikyu getting ready to attack but you tell him to calm down.

Finally the Leader barks:

Houndoom: The human can be trusted! let´s go everyone!

All the hondours, including the one you came with get in formation, surrounding the little ones. They are ready to go towards the abandoned factory.

Currently following you:

>Five (including the one from the refugee) grown Houndours
>A litter of 3 Houndour puppies
>Houndoom: Leader of the Pack
>Mimikyu
>Whismur (Still a baby)
>Murkrow: watching over the sky

As you get closer to the factory, you notice that you aren't the only one here. There's a couple of people looking around the area, they seem to be taking pictures and measurements.

They are dressed in the same black clothing, probably a uniform but not one you recognize. Murkrow flies over them an returns informing you they are carrying Pokéballs, 2 each one.

How should you deal with this situation?

Murkrow starts flying in circles above them, cawing loudly to get their attention. Suddenly Abra appears behind them and gives them a light slap just to teleport again. The pair starts following the Abra who leads them far from the entrance. While they are running Abra manages to make the most nervous of the pair trip with his tail. In front of him Mimikyu rises from the ground, moving its body (cloth?) in an eerily and janky manner. The grunt just runs away. His partner angered, reaches for his Pokéballs but Murkrow comes down and starts flapping its wings on the man’s face

Grunt #1: Get off of me you stupid bird!

Murkrow: Now! Run!

You and the others make haste, entering the gigantic building.
You feel a lot of eyes over you. But they are hiding in the shadows.

You try to make it as clear as possible that you are only looking for a place where the Houndour pack can stay. At first there is no response, but after a while sounds of clanking metal start to be heard. From a metal bridge on an upper floor jumps down a single Pawniard.

She looks at your group with little interest. It seems...
tired somehow, it's on her expression

Pawniard: You are not a trainer?

Percy: No, I mean, we are just looking for a place where they can stay

Pawniard: This decision isn't mine to make. Follow me


The Pokémon guides your group deeper in the factory. You can see some lights are still working, somehow, and faintly in the background there's the sound of machinery accompanied by the tired growls of various Pokémon.

Pawniard: We work the machines, they make energy. The Yellow King thrives on it, it feeds him. If he doesn’t get it he’ll eat other things.
Percy: Other things?
Pawniard: Us.
Percy: Where are we going?
Pawniard: Waiting room, Yellow King will meet you there


What’s going on here?

The Steel Pokémon directs you to a big and empty room, seems like a warehouse of sorts. Then she’s just gone.
You know cases like this can happen, sometimes, in their wild state, a very strong Pokémon will become the leader of a large group of various species. Offering it´s protection in exchange of tribute.
At first there’s only silence, but soon enough large and heavy footsteps can be heard. Getting closer and closer.
The puppies seem antsy and Whismur is going to freak out.

Mimikyu: Master, we’ve returned

From a window close by you can see Murkrow and Mimikyu, Abra has already transported by your side.

Houndoom: Is this really a good idea? What do you think Human?

>Let´s stay, talk to him first

You motion Abra to stay near the puppies so they can teleport away in case things go south.
The stomping gets louder and louder. Everyone is on guard.
A big and heavy figure stands over an empty metal container, he lands in front of your group. You feel the vibrations on the floor caused by it´s weight
It’s an Electvire and a massive one! Almost twice the size of a regular one!
His yellow fur with black stripes seems unkempt, both of it’s tails produce cackling flashes of electricity from their tips. The Pokémon stands tall, looking at everyone in a stern manner.

Electvire: So you are the human who has entered my domains? Are you brave? Or just stupid?
You tried to explain you’ve only come to help Houndour’s pack before getting interrupted.
Electvire: I know why you are here. And my answer is no. We have enough flame breathers as it is. What makes these ones worthy of living under my rule?

>Let them prove their worth!

>Is there anything I can do to change your mind?

>>
>>2765838
>>2765854
Percy: Is there anything I can do? So you'll let them stay

Electvire:… There is an issue where you could be useful. My vanguards saw you deal with the humans near the entrance

Percy: Really? Just tell me and I’ll get right on it!

Electvire: A “Master” has been coming here every day, looking to battle me. She poses no threat since her Pokémon and her are still weak. But she has become a nuisance. No matter how many times my guards defeat her, or I try to scare her off she keeps coming back.
I would finish her off, but I’m worried that would attract the attention of the Blue uniformed Humans
(You assume he means the Defense and Capture Corps)

Electvire: Convince her of staying far away from her! And your friends will be welcome.

Do we have a deal?

Electvire: Do not fail me, Human

Pawniard returns to direct you to the exit, you ask her what kind of Pokémon accompany this trainer, she states that she has seen her with a Sandile, a Trubbish, and most recently a Totodile. She usually arrives a little later, she assures you will notice her entrance.
Would you do something before she arrives?
>In case of battle, check Houndour, Mimikyu and Whismur moves, you already know what your friends can do
>Talk to Whismur, she’s been quite nervous during this whole trip, calming her down would help if there’s a fight ahead of you

>Other/ write in
Also, who will be coming with you and who will be staying?

Mimikyu: Will not leave your side unless it’s to protect you

Houndour: The one with more battle experience, he is ready to help

Whismur: Scared, but trusts you, this could be a good chance to deepen you bond with her, and for her to mature

Murkrow: Longtime friend, good at avoiding and dealing damage, but hasn’t good defense

Meowth: Even better at evading, but he really dislikes fighting

Abra: Always a wildcard, he sometimes teleports without meaning to, (this will end the battle with your loss)

The rest of the Houndour pack stayed behind with their young, so they can’t come with you
>>
>>2766097
>>Talk to Whismur, she’s been quite nervous during this whole trip, calming her down would help if there’s a fight ahead of you
>>Ask if Houndour is willing to fight with you, and okay with taking orders on the battlefield.
>>Explain to Mimikyu the concept of preemptive battles
Definitely use Mimikyu, Whismur, and Houndour if he's willing. Murkrow in reserve.
>>
>>2766097
Can we both talk to Whismur AND check out the other's moves? Calm her down by showcasing what our team's capable of and assuring her that we've got each other's backs.

>Congratulate Whismur on keeping her cool but do not give her a treat
>Ask Houndour and pack if they even WANT to be here

>>2766212
If we do decide to go, I’ll support this team comp. Maybe ask Houndoom to come as well? If he comes this is probably a guaranteed win, and this battle will decide whether his pack gets to stay here.
>>2766252
I support asking them if they want to stay here as well though. This place seems like it’s basically a cruel dictatorship run by this Yellow King. There’s other places we can check with them, if they don’t think this one will pan out.

Abra and Meowth stay behind with the Pack.
You ask Houndour if this place is really okay for their pack. He tells you it’s fine. Electvire may look like a violent fool but he is at least more or less reasonable, and he makes sure that no trainer or authority disrupts the Pokémon living here. For a safe place for their young they’ll compromise to live under his rule, just like him, who is under our command

You can feel Whismur still trembling, she’s doing her very best to not start crying. It’s your duty as his trainer to help her in this situation

You put your hand over her little pink head and star caressing her
Percy: How are we holding up? Don’t worry too much, we are almost done here
The little Pokémon clings hard to your shirt, you respond by getting your arms around her and giving her a little hug while carrying her
Percy: You’ve been very brave, and I’m really proud of you

Whismur looks up to you, her expression a little bit calmer but questioning, as if she was asking it we really mean it, you nod in reassurance

Percy: And that’s why I want to ask you a favor, because I know you can do it. If there´s a battle, I want your help

Whismur seems quite scared of the proposition, but you know what to do
Percy: Don´t be so scared Whismur. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. But, you are more capable than you think you can. And besides you aren’t alone, you have me, and all our friends! Just see what they can do!

You tell the rest of your companion to show what they can do.

Murkrow and Mimikyu happily obliges. The bird Pokémon makes a little gust by flapping it’s wing, then he descends from the air in one fast and precise motion ramming it´s beak on to his non-existent target. He opens his mouth letting out a cloud of smoke he dissipates with his flapping. Finally, he stands in a pole nearby acting cocky

Mimikyu starts running faster than your eyes can keep up with, he starts hitting an old trash bin with light but surprising attacks. Then he makes it’s own shadow move towards a different target and strikes with it. Finally he finishes it up using one of his appendages holding a little hammer club and strikes with full force destroying the bin.

Houndour isn’t such of a show off, and just shows quickly what he can do, breathing some fire, doing a nasty bite, letting of some smog, and finally doing a leer and letting out a Howl.

Percy: See there’s nothing to worry about!

Whismur expression has changed, he tells you to let her down on the floor. She wants to try it out too:
She bashes head in with another bin, but doesn’t do much, then let’s out her voice, somehow concentrated in a single hit, finally, she starts to balance on her two feet, gaining momentum, she jumps ups and comes down giving a devastating blow with her left arm.

After a little while the trainer arrives. She start’s screaming how “she’ll get that damn Electvire ass this time” .Just as the Pawniard told you, she’s accompanied by a Sandile, a Trubish and a Totodile.

She seems familiar… oh yeah, she’s that girl who got barred from taking the Trainer License test.

How will you approach this situation?

Punk Girl: ….

Percy: I’m going to be honest here, I talked with the Electivire, and the only reason he hasn’t killed you yet is because he’s worried about bringing the Defense and Capture Corps down on his head, and his fear of them is already starting to lose out to his annoyance with you. AND I CAN SEE WHY, It’s not going to be long before his patience wears thin and he decides to just kill you, consequences be damned, so play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

There’s just a little silence for a while, you hit your limit. And humans think we are the “communicative” species. It’s easier to talk to a power hungry Electvire than to a human girl.

Punk Girl: …I guess, I was being a little reckless…

No shit

Percy: I know it’s a little sudden but. If this about training, why don’t we it together? I can be your partner. It’ll be better than getting wrecked by a gigantic Electivire

The girl thinks about it for a second

Punk Girl: Well, you got a team, and I wasn’t getting anywhere with this. Whatever, you’ll have to do. Here’s my contact info, let’s meet tomorrow weirdo


Percy: The name´s Percy by the way

Eli: And this incredible trainer right here is Eli

Sandile: She’s strong!
Trubbish: She’s great!
Totodile: SHE’S THE FUCKIN BEST

Percy: what's the deal with this "sensei" of yours anyway?

Eli: He's one strong trainer ! I´m lucky he chose me as an apprentice!
Well, let’s decide on a place to train later on, see you later weirdo!


You exchange contact info with the girl, you would start with your training today but there’s some loose end you have to tie first. You head back to the factory to inform Electvire that the girls has been dealt with, and say to the Houndour pack they are now welcome to stay in the factory. Also, you will…

>Talk to the pack leader and Houndour, will he be going back to them?

>>
>>2767526
>Electvire seems intigued by you, approach him?

Didn't we already settle on a deal with Houndour that he'd stick with us at least up until the end of the tournament?
>>
>>2767544
Yeah this is more of a:

What will happen after the tournament kind of deal
>>
>>2767551
I see. In that case, can we do all three choices or am I getting too greedy here?
>>
>>2767526
>Talk to the pack leader and Houndour, will he be going back to them?
I doubt he’ll go back on our deal, in fact I expect we’ll be in it for the long haul with him, now that his pack’s got a stable home, but may as well ask him as a courtesy.
>Ask Pawniard about the men that were in the entrance, do they come here often?
They looked like an evil team, and acted like an evil team, so they’re probably an evil team, so that’s not great.
>Inform Electivire that the girl won’t be bothering him anymore.

>Do all three
You go back to the factory, everyone is waiting, the pack nervous about the news you bring. You announce to everyone that the deal is done. The girl will not come back, you make sure of it.
The Electivire seems to trust your word,
Electivire: As long as she stays out, they can stay in
Seems like this is resolved.
You notice Houndour talking with the leader of it’s pack. There seems to be a discussion of sorts. The Houndoom approaches you, everyone else following behind

Houndoom: Human, we appreciate your help. You gave us a safe place, you may not be strong, but you did for us something we wouldn’t. So, we are thankful.

Percy:It’s no problem really, all I did was talk

Houndoom: If that’s the case, I have a request for you. My son, he is strong, and has potential to be a great Pack leader someday. But he’s still young, inexperienced. So, I ask you Human. Will you make him a champion? Grow alongside of him, and when the time comes, let him decide his future.

Percy: Are you okay with this, Houndour?

Houndour: I can’t say no to the leader’s will.

>Accept: you’ll take him, help him become a great leader

>Deny: You won’t, he would be happier with his pack, and he can become leader even without your help
>>
>>2767672
>Accept: you’ll take him, help him become a great leader
I don't like that he's not enforcing his own will but it can't be helped at this stage of his growth.
>>
>>2767672
>Insist to know what he WANTS, not what he feels he has to do.
>Accept him onto the team.
>>
>>2767701
Actually, scratch that - just tell Houndour that we can stick to our original deal. Spend more time with us up until the end of the tournament and then see what he thinks of sticking around. A pack leader's gotta make his own decision after all and this'll be a good start.

Percy: I’m sorry, but the choice isn’t mine to make. I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but pack leaders should be the ones to decide their future. So I´ll let Houndour decide, after the tournament is done
Houndoom: Hmm… So be It then. Houndour will accompany you until then, the rest is up to him.
Houndour seems surprised at this turn of events. But pleased, you can see him a lot more relaxed now.
You ask the Pawniard if you can talk again with their leader, she seems to agree since the Yellow King was also looking for an excuse to talk to you.
That’s convenient
You also ask the Pawniard about the men in black from before. She tells you they used to come here more often, with big trucks holding cargo. But they were driven away by Electivire, it seems like it was during those days that he evolved and became the “Yellow King”. Now they come here occasionally but they never enter the building.
Electivire: Human, you have met my expectations. But not in the way I thought. In all this day, not a drop of blood has fallen, nor a single attack has been issued. You could be a valuable asset someday.
The Pokémon orders his subject with a snap of his fingers. They present to you a single white silk scarf
Electivire: If out paths ever cross again, I hope it is as allies. This token is a sign of this relation between us. If you chose to accept it, that is.

Take the silk scarf?

After another very long day, you are finally done. You helped Houndour’s pack get a new home. Got involved with Pokémon royalty. Got a new training partner. And even helped Whismur grow a little more confident! All in all it has been a good day. And it’s only 6:00 pm!

What will you do?

You and your Pokémon are due a well-deserved rest.
You say farewell to your Pokéfriend, they got stuff to do lately. Murkrow is building a new nest, Meowth is courting a female and Abra is trying to fully control it’s teleportation.

You bike towards one of your favorite spots. A little hill near the river bank where there´s more vegetation than in the rest of the city. From here you can see almost everywhere. You give all of your Pokémon their respective plates of food (and grab a little, just to taste it). Almost no one passes by here so it’s always serene and peaceful, it’s a harsh contrast with all the city.

The never-ending noise from all the cars, the people always on the move. The dozens of factories letting smoke out on the sky. The lights and advertisement plastering every corner of your eyes. And the people, those shouting on their phone over nothing. An anxiety riddled office worker late for work. The hobo who sleeps on the park bench and the occasional mugger. And the C&D corps on their endless raids.

This place is completely devoid of them, and that’s pretty nice on its own way.

Whismur is dead tired and falls asleep on your arms, such a shame, this is a great view. Since the sunlight isn’t as strong as earlier Mimikyu can stay out of the bag with no problem, he confirms you it’s a really sweet spot while sitting next to you.
Even Houndour says the view is Ok, while resting lazily besides you.

>(+ Closeness to the your team!)

Percy: Huh?

???: This place, distant from all the noise and responsibilities, a hidden sanctuary

???: I have such fond memories from here, but they are long lost to the past

???: Are these your Pokémon young trainer?

Percy: Yes sir! Well, I’m still not a trainer but I’m on my way to get my license

???: So I assume you don’t have any Pokéballs with you

Percy: I mean not at the moment…

???: And still, all these Pokémon choose to follow you. Hahaha that’s splendid! You must be great trainer!

Percy: Not really, I’m just good at befriending them

???: Don’t be so modest. That’s even better! Pokémon can be such good companions. They grow with their trainers, and help you mature!

???: How jealous I am. You are just beginning your journey. Holding the limitless potential of youth. But my path is set in stone, as it is with most people after a certain age. No matter what I do, I cannot change it.

???: Sorry to make you listen to the ramblings of an old men

???: You’re a nice kid, respectful, good friends with Pokémon, I wish my son was a little bit more like you. So I let you in a little secret for listening to me.

???: See that little green spot of trees far away from here? At the back of the abandoned Villa there’s a little tree that grows the most delicious berries you can find! They are also pretty useful for Pokémon battles. If you got a chance, you should get some. I assure you they are better than eating Kibble. Hahaha!

And just like he came, he went away, without making a sound.

That was weird.

It’s getting late you should go home. After arriving what will you do?

Well that wasn’t suspicious at all.

Any good options? The edge of the residential area sounds like a decent choice. Not many people or Pokémon around to bother us.
>>
>>2768265
Also last update for the night, tomorrow I will be traveling again, hope I can update tomorrow.

The places that can be considered for training are:

>Public Training Grounds, it's easy to find trainers to battle with here, also has some equipment and installations free to use

>The local Pokémon-Gyms (they specialize in Steel and Ground types) also there´s an entry fee

> The outskirts of town, plenty space for maneuvering and trying things out, can also look for wild Pokémon actually willing to fight you

> Home? Mom and Dad used to be trainers in their youth, they can give you some pointers

>Other/ various: write in

>Public Training Grounds, it's easy to find trainers to battle with here, also has some equipment and installations free to use
>>
Also, the whole "looking for a new home for houndour's pack" could have gone way different so I thinm we did well

Some what if scenarios that will never be written include:

>Getting mugged by people or/and Pokémon
>Igniting a revolution against the Yellow king
>Fighting a Magmar
>confronting a delusional drug-addict
>Fighting against the Capture and Defense Corps
>Transport narcotics
>Join a gang

And many others!

We're a huge weirdo nerd, we probably like to read books in our spare time.
>>
>>2768334
I was strongly considering executing the ruling class and bring about a proletariat revolution, but even if he is a bastard the Yellow King’s probably the only thing keeping that evil team, the Capture and Defense Corps, and who knows what else from descending on that warehouse and ruining the lives of all the Pokémon living inside of it. Maybe we can do it some other time, now that we’ve got people on the inside.
> The outskirts of town, plenty space for maneuvering and trying things out, can also look for wild Pokémon actually willing to fight you
I’m not sure if we even legally count as a Pokémon trainer yet, and our training partner certainly doesn’t. Best to do this somewhere we probably won’t be interrupted.

> The outskirts of town, plenty space for maneuvering and trying things out, can also look for wild Pokémon actually willing to fight you

I also think we should get rid of Electivire at some point as well or make the other pokemon lives easier by installing some solar panels or an alternate energy source nothing big just enough for him to stop bothering the smaller Pokemon
>>
>>2768334

What other kind of Pokemon are with Yellow Kings group?
>>
>>2768304
>> Home? Mom and Dad used to be trainers in their youth, they can give you some pointers

Free tutelage
>>
>>2768572
I honestly don't mind the Yellow King. This is nature, there is always going to be a pack leader and he is the strongest of the group. He seems to be taking good care of them, and he can eat electricity instead of hunting down and eating other things. This basically confirms that pokémon eat other pokémon in this setting. Him not eating others is actually a really good result.

What I would like to do is setup some sort of arena where trainers can go to fight WILLING creatures from the mansion and maybe capture them. This way instead of people constantly going into the mansion and getting chased away, pokémon who might want to leave with a trainer can have an area where they can offer themselves up or have trainers fight them for the right to take them.

Percy: What’s wrong with it? “Kaiju-mon” are the coolest! Some of them are even scientifically possible!

Percy: And yeah we are.

Eli: Sure. If you are like, ten. Hurr-Durr, big scary Pokémon

Eli: Everyone knows, the “Lake of rage” movies, are the best example of the destructive and most horrifying capabilities of ‘mons

Percy: Those cheesy Unovian movies? Get out of here!

Eli: Make me. So where are we going?

Percy: The outskirts, there´s a lot of free space, and we could probably find some Pokémon willing to train with us

Eli:Nice, I’ll see you at the lookout. After class.

Oh shit, you forgot about school. You still have a week of classes until vacations.

Man, you really don’t like school. Surrounded by people all the time. Looking at you, talking about you, judging you. If it wasn’t for all the Pokémon related classes, it would be completely unbearable.

But, you know? This last days you managed to talk more or less normally with two people! Maybe things can be a little better, even if it is for this last week.

Also, your Pokémon will be with you, since you (almost) are a trainer now there should be no problem to bring them along! Not like all those other times you got in trouble for sneaking your friends inside.

Now, the day is almost over, and even after snacking on some of that Kibble you are starving. So you make way to the dining table with the rest of your family.

[Mom]: Percy, by any chance did you spend the night at Mr.Snob house? Again?

Percy: I haven’t done that since I was seven!

[Mom]: Good, I was fearing you were going through another “phase”

[Dad]: So I presume you already got a Pokémon then

[Sis]: Yeah! Mr.Snob has been picking up a strange scent lately

[Mr. Snob]: I´m not sharing my stuff! I’m the Pokémon of this household!

[Dad]: So what is it this time champ? One of your friends? Maybe a steel type like your old man?

Percy: A Houndoom….

[Dad]: Oh. Well, as long as he doesn´t burn down our home, he can stay in Mr. Snob old pet house

Mr. Snob: Over my dead body!

Sis: Calm down Mr.Snob!

Percy: And a Whismur, also a Mimikyu

You parents just look at you for a second, there is a certain tiredness reflected on their faces, but also a slight relief. Then suddenly Dad lights up

[Dad]: I told you! You both owe $500!

Percy: What’s this about?

[Sis]: When we got notice of how the second part of the test would be handled, we bet on the number of Pokémon you would bring home. Mom and I bet that you would have a full team by now. Dad said you were becoming more responsible and you wouldn’t bring more than three

[Dad:] I knew you would think this through!

[Mom:] We are proud of you Percy.

[Dad:] And here we were, expecting you to bring ALL the Pokémon from the shelter or something

[Sis:] Or like a dozen of homeless Houndour puppies

[Mother:] Or a whole Beedrill hive, again

Percy: So there´s no problem with them staying, without a Pokéball, right?

[Dad:] Of course not! Just keep them out of trouble.

[Mom:] Unruly Pokémon can be dangerous. Like that one who attacked “Little Johnny” down the street

Percy: The kid who walks Pokémon for $50?

[Dad:] He and the pet Pokémon he was walking got attacked by a ferocious Growlithe, the Pokémon weren’t in such a bad state, but the kid was completely traumatized

-Somehow, that story sounds familiar-

[Mom:] And their owners were furious! It’s good your sister takes the time to walk Mr.Snob

The rest of the dinner night was uneventful. You went to sleep feeling strangely satisfied with your day.

The next morning
You are Percy, young “Pokémaniac” and soon to be trainer!
On your way to High School you are being accompanied by your newest friends! Houndour, Whismur and Mimikyu.

Houndour walks by your side, growling to anyone who comes to close. Whismur is riding him, since walking long distance with such short legs can be tiring. And Mimikyu is hiding in his favorite spot. Your backpack.

Today, things are a little different at class. Most people your age have brought their own Pokémon to school. Since almost everyone is doing their trainer test. You also see Kali at the entrance, surrounded by her friend group. Growlithe is near her, like a guard completely still.

What will you do?
>See what Kali and her friends are doing, but don’t approach too much
>Approach Kali, even though she told you not to
>Check out your classmate Pokémon, what kind of mons are they and how are they treating them?
>Show off your team

>Nod towards Kali and Growlithe, but don't approach
>Check out our classmate's Pokemon
>>
>>2769943
>>2769984
>>2770016

You get a little closer to Kali and say hi to ther and her Pokémon with a little nod. Growlithe notices and nods back, Kali doesn´t, you think..

You go towards your classroom looking at all the Pokémon that are filling the school. most of them are being kept with a leash of some sort and/or being fed by their new "trainers".

After observing for a little while you start to notice something. The Pokémon here can be divided in two categories:

The common ones, that you can find just about everywhere in the city. Like the Pidgey eating bread crumbs from a student desk, or the Poochyena with a collar who's trainer has to stop from wandering off. Geodude, Meowth, Wurmple, and many others.Some people even have a Ghastly or a Abra following behind! (Not your friend Abra, he's great at avoiding trainers) They mostly seem like calm Pokémon, used to humans.

Then there's the ones bought from breeders. They are mostly Pet Pokémon, some of them still have their tags with their name and address. And the more "well-off" kids have with them the "Standard starters" Pokémon specially breed for newbie trainers. Great growing potential, docile, and usually with softer features. For example, the Totodile hanging out with the "cool kids" has a more cutesy appearance than Eli's, with bigger eyes, shorter limbs, a little more short and stout, sitting down peacefully with a dumb big smile on his face! It's the complete opposite from the longer, lankier Totodile from yesterday, with predator eyes, sharp teeths he liked to show off and ready to chomp anyone's face off.

You can say one third of the trainers are treating them as pets, other third has no idea what they are doing. And the final one are starting to get the hang of it.

You are about to sit down when you hear a voice say

[Teacher:] Whose Pokémon are these? they don't have a leash and are just wandering off

Oh shit, it's seems you got a little too excited to see and analyze all these Pokémon and you let Houndour and

>Call them to you
>Go to to the teacher and apologize
>Other/ write in
>>
>>2770209
*let Houndour and Whismur out of your sight
>>
>>2770209
>>Call them to you
>>
>>2770209
>Call them to you
>Apologize
Basically, apologize to the teacher but show and reassure him that they're well-behaved and will follow your command.
>>
You let out a let out your voice loud enough for the Pokémon to hear you. They already can recognize your voice easily, so they turn to you. You tell them with both words and body language to come back and stay near you to avoid any trouble. Houndour pushes gently Whismur, who’s still curious about her new surroundings, towards you.Then you apologize to the teacher and assures him won't cause any trouble. He says it better be true or "You and your critter will get in trouble" and "It's the same thing every year with these kids"

Houndour stays by your side looking a little bored, meanwhile Whismur sits on your lap and keeps looking all around the classroom

-[Student#1]: Are those your Pokémon? They are very well trained

-[Student#2]: You have two Pokémon? And they already listen to you? That’s not fair, my Bidoof won’t stop chewing on my desk…

-[Student#3]: You don’t even keep em on a leash. Aren’t you afraid they will run away?

-[Student#4]: Dude, you are actually good with these things. And I thought you were just a weird “furry”

Seems like the most clueless trainers are baffled by your capability of issuing basic commands, this feels good

>Be humble: Pokémon understand more easily than you think. I’m just more of a “friend” to them than a “trainer”

>Be honest: I just have an easier time communicating with them, that’s all

>Get cocky: Actually, there´s three Pokémon that listen to me (Show Mimikyu)

You "People" better than before!

Percy: It´s not that big of a deal. I just try to understand them, once you do, they tend to do the same.

Whismur seems content with all of the attention, saying hi to everybody. Houndours starts growling a little but you calm him down after warning your classmates he isn’t very friendly to others. This seems to impress them even more.

You take out a little snack to feed Whismur, she’s doing great lately, for a Pokémon so young. She even offers a piece to Houndour! He declines, but Mimikyu extends one of his limb out of your bag and takes it.

Mimikyu: It's best to not waste master’s food

-[Student#1]: Such a polite and cute Pokémon!

-[Student#2]: DUDE, they are three? What the hell

-[Student#4]: Holy shit, Fuckin “Poke-whisperer” right here

-[Student#3]: Could you tell my Farfecth to stop pecking others?

You spend the rest of the day giving some pointers and advice to the trainers about their Pokémon. You have never talked with them so much.

Hell you’ve never spend so much time talking to other humans! It’s a little exhausting but overall, you like to think you did a good job.
Seems like you handled the situation well, even become more liked by your classmates, still, seems like Kali won’t talk to you…
This makes you feel:

>Dissapointed: She was the first person to talk to you, and you hoped that after seeing you talk to people so well she wouldn’t be troubled to talk to us
>Angry: Are we not good enough for her? What’s her deal?
>Apathetic: People only come towards you when they got something to gain from it, just like with Kali
>Understanding: You know Kali has her motives to keep a distance, even if you don’t know what those are

>>2770791
Opposed rolls would be thematic, but you'd have to be prepared for the rolls to swing when you least expect or want them to. If you want more control over whether we succeed or fail, you could use set DCs.

I'm personally a fan of 3d10s each against a set DC, with the number (between 0 and 3) of passes determining the degree of success, taking best roll of 3.

So, for instance, 3 anons roll against a DC of 7, and get: 3, 9, 5; and 1, 2, 6; and 2; 7; 9. The third set has the most passes - 2 - so the roll is a regular success. The first set on its own had 1 pass and so would have been a regular failure, while the second had no passes and would have been a crit fail. 3 passes would have resulted in a crit success.

You know Kali has her own reasons to act this way. She’s a good person! She was the first person to approach you, and even when she saw you be a complete sperg she didn’t turn her back on you! Maybe when we both got our licenses you´ll understand, but in the meantime is hard not feel to feel a little disappointment. In the back of your head you were expecting her to suddenly approach and just say “Hi Percy!” and just, just start being friends. Your first human friend.

Eli: Yo, what’s the deal? Stop spacing out weird boy.

Ah, right.
You are already met with Eli at the lookout. Located at the outskirts of town it was a little excuse for the massive amount tax money that was going to “City beautification”, your Mom always complained about such useless thing but your father said the view was nice. It’s currently completely deserted because who the fuck would go to the edge of the city in this heath for a “nice view”. The answer is you, and this girl.

Eli: Seriously, you all right? You are weirding me out man.

Eli: Well, I´m down here ready and to kick your ass! So focus!

Eli insisted on doing some light sparring. To see the “obvious difference in trainers ability and Pokémon badassnes” so that’s what we are starting with.

In combat there 6 main commands:
ATTACK
DEFEND
EVADE
SWITCH OUT
USE ITEM
OTHER


ATTACK: is self-explanatory, choose one of the Pokémon offensive mon and hit your opponent

DEFEND: Tank the hit, reduce your damage, make your opponent tired, can prepare a counterattack

EVADE: Try to evade completely your opponent attack, close or make distance between you and your rival. If you fail the attack hit’s you with full force

ITEM: According to the Offical Battling Regulations, one Item’s per Pokémon is allowed during battle, regardless of held items.

SWITCH OUT: Change Pokémon but take the hit

OTHER: Think outside the box!

For every command there’s a established DC, 3 rolls
0 passes: Disadvantage, harder DC next turn
1 passes: Everything goes as planned (Get out of disadvantageous position)
2 Passes: Gain advantage! (Lower DC)
3 Passes: CRIT!

Which Pokémon will you be using first? And with what approach will you start?

>Offensive! (Lower DC for your attacks, and higher damage, CRIT damage is even more devastating)

>Defensive! (Lower Damage received, Lower DC for protecting yourself, can counterattack with a CRIT, conserve stamina!)

>Evasive! (Lower DC for evasion, can evade and attack If CRIT)

>Special approaches! (Personalized and unlocked via training/events and what not)

Approaches can be changed as a free action


Let's try this for a bit, if it doesn't works let's go for something simpler

Whismur has Hammer Arm, which should be effective against Sandile, right?

>>2772822
>Offensive! (Lower DC for your attacks, and higher damage, CRIT damage is even more devastating)
We don't know what she'll be sending out? Let's try Mimikyu.
>>
>>2772822
Start out with Whismur, it’s our safest bet against any of her Pokémon.
>Defensive! (Lower Damage received, Lower DC for protecting yourself, can counterattack with a CRIT, conserve stamina!)
Take it slow and steady.
>>
Is Whismur still scared or did our pep talk from before fully remove her doubts?
>>
>>2772860
She's still feels a little anxious, but if you and Houndour are by her side she feels a lot more confident!
>>
>>2772860
I believe it’s confident enough to battle. I think getting a win under it’s belt will be what we need to really cement it’s confidence though.
>>
>>2772876
Whismur is a she by the way, right? I’ve heard it referred to by both him and her so I wasn’t too sure.
>>
>>2772876
>>2772882
Alright, I'll switch my vote over to >>2772848 then.
>>
>>2772885
She is female, referring her to as a male is one of the many mistakes I make as a QM
>>
>>2772848
>>2772860

Little Whismur it is

Also

>Defensive!

Eli’s first Pokémon is:
1: Trubbish
2: Totodile
3: Sandile

dice+1d3

State your first move!
>>
>>2772890
So, think we should spam Echoed Voice? The fact that it’s power builds up over time is the main reason I picked the Defense option for Whismur, since it’ll give it more time to amp it up.
>>
Rolled 1 (1d3)

>>2772905
>>
>>2772905
So just to be clear, choosing the defensive action basically means to weather the opponent’s attack first, and then select a move to counterattack with?
>>
>>2772905
>>2772907
Definitely agree on using Echoed Voice.
>>
>>2772921
That's correct
>>
>>2772927
Alright, then I think our best course of action is to
>DEFEND
>Counterattack with Echoed Voice
Giving up attacking first doesn’t really matter too much unless we’re on our last legs, and it’s definitely worth tiring out the enemy Pokémon and reducing the damage we take, especially since Whismur’s attacks will get stronger over time.
>>
>>2772905
We gave Whismur the Silk Scarf before, right?

>>2772936
Agreed
>>
>>2772936
We'll be taking poison attacks though, right? I don't think defending will actually help against poison damage.
>>
>>2772936
>>2772951

>Eli choose Trubbish.

Eli: Let out some spikes!

>Trubbish used Toxic Spikes

--Whismur is surrounded by a couple of toxic hazards, maneuvering could be difficult. (Evasive rolls DC increased), also a roll is needed to avoid damage when switching out --

Percy: Prepare for any attack that comes next! And use Echoed Voice!

Trubbish: [Offensive] DC: 4

You take her Pokémon by surprise! It hit harder than expected, MUCH harder.

Eli: HOLY FUCK, that thing is loud! Shit, my ears, are ringing. Let’s get serious! Trubbish sic him! Gunk shot!

Both of the Pokémon are more or less in the same condition, except "Jaws" is temporarly deaf

What will happen next? Find out tomorrow! Since this QM needs some sleep

>Whismur braces herself! Receiving the bite in one of her arms and withering as much damage as possible. She withstands the pain, completely ignoring it, she just focuses on the attack and hits back with a strengthened Hammer Arm using her free limb.
The hit lands square in Jaws head, releasing your Pokémon before any severe damage occurs!

>Hammer Arm increased strength takes a toll on the Pokémon “Stamina” Lowering her speed! (DC increased for Evasive Rolls and actions regarding quick movements)

>Jaws gets straight up knocked up!
-- Since none of you have Pokéballs, Eli must get inside the “arena” and pick up the poor unconscious Pokémon. It’s kind of awkward.

Whismur looks bad, but she probably can stand one or two hits. Her defensive stance has helped her conserve energy, but she is starting to show signs of exhaustion---

Eli: We are still not done! Go Tremor!

>>
>>2775277
>Keep going with Whismur? If so, what do?

Whismur is one her last legs, now’s the time for an all or nothing strike to try and injure Sandile before she’s brought down.

change into mimikyu, whimsur has done some good work but we dont need to push her too far

Switch to Mimkyu. Let's not push Whismur past her limits; we're trying to build her confidence in herself as much as anything else. Keep playing defensive.
>>
>>2775339
>>2775387
We’d need to roll to avoid the poison spikes injuring her though, and if we fail they’re probably going to do her in.
>>
>>2775277
>Switch with Mimikyu. Offensive approach.
As cheesy as it sounds, I don't think we're the type to push our mons to a situation where they will get knocked out to squeeze out extra damage.

Evade. Could we use Double Team in conjunction with evading? It's supposed to be moving so fast the mon creates afterimages, right? Presumably that'll also mess up Sandile's attack since the vibrations from our steps will be spread out.

Regarding Nicknames for Percy's Pokémon

Whismur really likes the idea

Mimikyu doesn't mind what his Master calls him

And Houndour dislikes it, since he views "nicknames" as a "Pet Pokémon" thing.
But earned titles, he respects that! Like "The Yellow King" , when he was in the Pack, the Houndours used to refer to him as "Second in Command" and "Son of Leader"

I really like "Chief", but since he's the leader's son it probably doesn't really make sense yet. I propose to wait untill his first or maybe second fight to give him a name based on his fighting style, or something iconic to him

Eli: What the fuck man! Did you pump your mons full of Protein? Calcium? …Steroids?

Percy: None of that! Just plenty of support and trust

Eli: You are a nerd. How are you hanging guys? He didn’t rough you up too much right? If he did I’ll kick his ass!

The Pokémon seem fine, just a little beaten up even after being bashed in the skull with enough force to crack open a human skull or having their ear drums obliterated. They are really resilient creatures. They reassure their trainer they are mostly ok.

Eli:Shit guys, we really need to step our game. Here have some Oran Berries and take a little rest. Trubbish! We need to practice that Gunk Shot. Also we need to improve our evasive and offensive, so let’s work on that. And maybe shouting commands may not be 100% reliable…

Percy: Well, batting is really important for Pokémon, not only in matches between trainers. Pokémon fight all the time between themselves in their natural state, be it to establish superiority in a group, for territory, for their very survival, and even for training. There´s many documented cases of Pokémon even organizing many forms of “tournaments” to establish their place in the Packs….

Eli: Get to the point nerd! Fucking walking textbook….

Percy:Pokémon battle all the time, and I spent most of the time with Pokémon, or watching them, or reading about them. So I got the basics down. Also, my parents where trainers in their youth, maybe I take from them

Eli: So you only hang out with Pokémon, that explains some things…

Percy:Like what?

Eli:Forget it, well break time is over. Let’s continue!

You spend your afternoon training with Eli, sparring with her and any Pokémon that wants to fight you. Until she lefts for her part timing work. She makes you promise to see each other again tomorrow, same time same day. You make way to the city, heading home. It’s 6:00 PM and you still have a couple of hours of daylight. What will you do?

>Seems like there´s a lot of noise nearby, you can see a group of trainers searching desperately for something. One of them is that “Rich Douche”

Let's check out the store

After assuring the guards on the entrance that you Pokémon won't be causing any trouble you enter the building. A lot of trainers walk side by side with their Pokémon, there's a lot of noise from all the voices mixed with the ambient music coming from the speakers

There's a pharmacy offering a discount on normal potions at half the price. Other stores include one focused on "Pokémon Apparel" having a special "summer" themed sale. The TM selection is usually a little over priced, but it seems today they are having a discount in selected "Defense Focused TMs". There's a group of fellow Pokémaniacs discussing passionately about Pokéball properties near the "Pokéballs and other Catching goods" section. Finally, seems like a new shipment has arrived at "Berries and treats" maybe it will good to check that out. The training equipment corner doesn't seem to have anything going on right now. Finally, there's the lottery corner, the main price today is a macho brace. There's also the gift shop, but honestly you don't think you could find something useful there right now. You have enough time to check two stores.Which ones will be?

>>2777644

The employees behind the counter greet you with the required by contract smile. Aisles brim with various products, you can find about anything regarding health items! There´s a shelf for every status condition. Hundreds of Super and Hyper potions are on display. Max Potion, Full Restores and Revives rest on a locked glass behind the counter. There’s a sign poster on the wall reading “Ask about our Vitamins selection!”, seems like, Calcium, Zinc and the like are stored somewhere else. A bin full of Potions with a giant “Half-off” sign has been put on near the entrance. So, what are you getting?

How much money do we have?
>>
>>2778162
8900$. No idea where we got it, but we have it.
>>
>>2778166
It's the remainder of Percy's savings. Since we never specified if he got more money out after buying supplies, let's say he was planning to come here and he brought out all of his money, just in case
>>
>>2778166
We had 10k in life saving, but it's poke money so it would be like 50 poke cash to 1 dollar

Right OP? >>2778190
>>
>>2778191
That's correct
>>
>>2778162
>>2778166
We have
2 potion
3 Antidote
1 Full heal

>>2778139
Get 2 more potions 150$
1 Antidote 100$
1 PARALYZE HEAL $200
1 BURN HEAL, AWAKENING, and ICE HEAL $250
Costing us 850$
Or 3 potions for a soild 1k$
>>
>>2778232
that sounds pretty good
>>
>>2778232
This is good.
>>
>>2778139
>3 potions (450)
>2 Revives (3000)
>2 Paralyze Heal (400)
>2 Burn/Heal/Awakening (1500)
Total of $5,350. Might be too cautious but I'd prefer to overspend here and have all this stuff than not have it later.

I'll also vote to go for
>Berries/Treats
>>
>>2778249
We can always return to the Pharmacy after checking out the other options, since maybe their is something pretty good that could take up a major bunk of cash
>>
>>2778257
Fair enough. We should be able to stock up during the time skip anyway.

I'll switch to >>2778232
>>
>>2778232
So

2 POTIONS $300
1 Antidote $100
1 PARALYZE HEAL $200
1 BURN HEAL $250
1 AWAKENING $250
1 ICE HEAL $250

That's $1350
You'll be left with: $7550

Also, going to the Berries and treat shop
>>
>>2778333

The shop is filled with various sweet scents, you need to restrain Whismur to stop herself from gorging herself with the merchandise. One of the lady employees greet you and you don’t even flinch or say something about Pokémon reproductive habits! Man, you are getting better at this “people” thing.
They are always switching the selection of berries, to only sell fresh products. Most of their products are imported, so they raise the usual price a little bit. Seems like the selection for today is:
>ORAN BERRY: $150 (Healing properties, not as good as a potion but can be held)
>LEPPA BERRY: $200 (Helps with exhaustion)
>PERSIM BERRY: $200 (Cures confusion)
>LIECHI BERRY: $400 (Rises attack after the Pokémon is damaged)
Besides this, there’s other product on their aisles.

>Poké-Snacks! Tm. :$50 (A snack made from different dried berries, a lot of Pokémon like them, Whismur loves them)

>Lava Cookies (IMPORTED): $1500 (A pack with three of the treats. A limited time product, straight from Hoenn, claims to have healing properties)

>Cooking book: $2000, (learn to make your very own Poffins and Poképuff!)

>Berry pot: $5000 (A device that simulates the necessary weather conditions for berry growth, portable, but can only grow one type of berry at the time)

What are you getting?
>>
>>2778386
5 Poke treats
Cookbook
2250$
>>
>>2778386
>>2778397
Supporting this but I'll say to also get

Sorry guys, gotta do some stuff, I'll be back soon 5:00-5:30 pm MDT maybe earlier

Seems like I got more stuff pending than I previously thought, gonna be back at 8:00 pm MDT
>>
>>2778397
>>2778416
>>2778459
You got some (5) PokéTreats at Whismur request, also a Cookbook, maybe you could learn to make your own treats, you feel that your friends would appreciate it (it’s not like you want to try more Pokémon food, no, not at all) also some berries could come in handy.

The total is $2700, leaving you with $4850, man that’s big impact to your finances, maybe it would be good to find a source of money, specially if you are going to travel around the Republic.

While going out of the store you can see a little mob forming around the windows in the upper floor, seems like something has gone down on the street.

“Dude, did you see that? All those trainers got decimated!”
“Is that a shiny? I have never seen one on the flesh”
“Who’s that guy? I swear I’ve seen him somewhere else”
“Are those Pokémon all right?”

>See what’s happening from the window
>Go out and get close
>None of your concern, you are just shopping and you need to get home early


Sorry for the lateness, got some unexpected visits that just left
>>
>>2779208
>Go out and get close
Ooooh, shiny!
>>
>>2779210
You head out to the street to get a better view of the scene. There’s like half a dozen of mons and some trainers (you assume) just lying unconscious. The trainers that are still standing recall their Pokémon to their Pokéballs and run from the scene. Seems like a huge fight just went down, there’s a hole in the ground the size of a Numel. A trash can is on fire and a stop sign seems to have ben used as a blunt weapon.

In the middle of the street a Scizor holds a Bagon of the ground with one of his pincers. The Bagon seems a little beaten up but the Scizor is immaculate. From it’s dazzling green scales you can see that this Bagon is not a regular one, he was probably the cause of the whole commotion from earlier. The Dragon Pokémon can’t stop trashing, so the Scizor squeezes him harder.
Besides the Scizor there’s it’s trainer, a serious looking young man, probably a couple years older than you. He is looking with a cold glare to the rich douche.

[???]: I´m I supposed to clean your messes every time you fuck up? Next time be more careful with your “things”, you dammed disappointment

[???]: And what are you looking at? You want to try and get this Bagon from me? Like the rest of these “trainers”

He’s talking to you

>Well, if you are eager for another fight... (START BATTLE)

>Sorry, I’ll be on my way…(Just leave)

>Could Scizor ease up a little bit? He’s hurting him..

The trainer gives Scizor the order and he drops a wheezing Bagon to the ground.

[???] Knock him out

Before the Pokémon gets a chance to stand up Scizor drives a nasty punch to his head, It's heavy claw comes down hard and fast. The Pokémon is out cold.

[???]: You are right, there's no reason to damage the thing trying to make it comply, a single well placed hit is most effective. Let's go Scizor, and you too, before you embarras yourself even more.

The three of them walk away, Scizor dragging the Bagon, Rich Douche seems irate.

You finally return home, what are you gonna do with these last hours?

We are going on an adventure soon. We need to get some skill in cooking to save money. Eating premade food or restaurant food constantly is a massive drain on money. Lets get some training in cooking before we go while we still have access to cheap food in the form of our fridge and parents budget. I don't want our pokémaniac eating shitty ramen constantly when we could just have our pokés collect some wild food and we survive off that. Definitely want to get a book on wild food in the area. Even just supplementing our food with wild vegetable or berries would be useful.
>>
>>2779256
Also last post of the night, will be back soon

>>2779256
>>Search for a recipe you could do on the book

>>2779257
Only if during that skipped time it's assumed that we trained more and got to look up recipes.
>>
>>2779299
I always kinda hate peoples impatience to timeskip forward.We could get so much more done if we just wait it out. I do understand that we all have lives and like seeing progress happen but there is time for real bonding and prep work. We could make a hiking bag, read up on things to avoid, practice battle tactics (though i doubt this will be useful since we probably are always going to be trying to use stab moves over long drawn out complicated plans). So much we could do, and a timeskip destroys all of it. Immediate gratification. I just don't get it.

>>
>>2779572
Yeah, but it’s shiny! It could also be our in with the dragons. And Salamence is a kickass Pokémon.
>>
>>2779740
Pretty sure it was the rich douches Pokemon. We'd have a lot of issues if we tried to get it.
>>
>>2779757
Well I mean the guy with the Scyther basically invited us to beat it out of him, if we dared, and I bet we could take a Scyther and whatever else he had. Don't think the QM would throw an impossible battle at us. And it's not the rich douche's Pokemon until he's got it in a Pokeball.
>>
>>2779814
It was a Scizor which is a lot tougher. The if you dare part would be an issue as we've only had one battle and I'm pretty sure he's had more. Plus the rich douche can do things to fuck with us and get away with it. On top of all that it might not even go with us as dragons hate us.

We already have 3 Pokemon, we don't need to rush into a bunch of problems because that one is shiny.

>Let’s check out some recipes

Houndour goes back to rest at the backyard and Whismur seems to be building a fort of sorts using your pillows and sheets.
Most of the books is dedicated to desserts, confectionery and baking but there’s also a little section containing a couple recipes for meals that employ vegetables and berries native to the region. You flip through the pages until you see something doable for a complete amateur. It’s a simple recipe for muffins using Oran berry pieces. You seem to have every ingredient in your pantry. Your parents got the night shift today, so the kitchen is yours for the night.
>This recipe will use one of your berries, but will yield (6) muffins

Uh, what’s that. Seems like Mimikyu is curious about what are you doing, he seems interested in the cookbook

Mimikyu:Does master need assistance?

Damn

The "thing" in front of you couldn't even be called "edible" it's burnt and blackened, looks more like coal than a pastry.

You don't even know how things got like this. Maybe it was when you burnt the butter and the sugar and thought it wouldn't be noticeable after mixing everything. Maybe it was when you mixed that egg without cracking it first, or when you heated the oven at twice the temperature required so it would bake faster. Or maybe the other ton of errors you made along the way.

You spend the your time cleaning your mess with the help of Mimikyu. It's embarrassing but you were a little excited at the thought of learning to cook for your friends. Sucking so bad is pretty disheartening.

You lay on the coach contemplating on this waste of time and money. You contemplate on just snacking on some of your Poké-Snacks, until sounds coming from the kitchen sway your attention.

The Ghost Pokémon is still trying to cook, and he is pretty good at ti! His limbs handle the utensils with grace and care. He's finished with the mix so quickly, he makes it seem so easy.

After going in the oven you can start smelling a mouth watering smell that only becomes stronger and stronger.

In front of you there's a plate with half a dozen of muffins. They look like great and smell even better.

Mimikyu: Don’t be disheartened Master, we can learn to get better. Together

>Obtained 6 Oran berry Muffins!

>Also, Percy sucks at cooking. Mimikyu, on the other hand...

This has been more tiring that you thought it would be.

You go to bed and hope for a good day tomorrow.

Next day goes as usual. School is still filled with Pokémon. During your free time you see some of the students have started battling at the training grounds of the school's "Battling team", also seems like some students are looking for you, word about your abilities handling Pokémon has begun to spread, maybe they are in need of your services? Finally, maybe it's a good opportunity to look for some was to make money, you could look for some part time job offers from your phone. Since classes are about to finish a lot of events are being planned by the students to celebrate such occasion, they are usually announce via posters plastered all over the school. You aren't sure if this concerns you since you are not used to this type of "social gatherings". And Kali still acts like you don't exist. Also you haven't seen Growlithe today, huh, weird.

You roam about the school grounds for a bit hoping to hear your name mentioned. You catch some gossip about the guy with a "Sixth Poké Sense" but nothing concrete. Your walk is suddenly stopped by a little green guy. He came from nowhere and seems very excited to see you!

It's a Cacnea, the one from the shelter! It's seems like he was adopted by one of your classmates. He walks toward you and hands you a little business card.

After taking it, He waves goodbye and runs off.

There's something written in the paper...

"I'll pay good money for your services, come alone, only bring Pokémon"

and an address...

You send a message to your parents informing them of your most recent "business opportunity" They tell you to be careful, even if you a re going to "the nice part of town" you shouldn't let your guard down, rich can be dangerous since they can get away with more things than the regular Joe.

You promise to keep your Pokemon by your side and call them to inform them you are okay once you arrive.

School ends and once more you are going to meet with Eli. since your sparring session from yesterday she's been putting a lot of effort into the training.

After some exercises and more sparring you both decide to take a little break. Seems like your Pokémon friends, and hers are starting to socialize a little. It's natural since they are battle partners.

Maybe we should do the same?

>Nah, you are fine as it is

Eli:Nah, couldn’t do that to my dad. It’s just for summer break. But at the very least, I want to get the 8 Gym Badges before returning.

Percy: You plan to get 8 badges in two months after becoming a trainer? That’s insane!

Eli:Yo, it’s not imposible. There’s always one or two trainers like that in the “National League ”, why the hell couldn’t I do it?

Percy:Those guys are “League” material! Not your everyday trainer

Eli:Fuck you dude! Im league CHAMPION material!

The girl pushes you around playfully.

Eli: What about you weird boy? Wanna come with? Could always use a sparring partner

Pretty interested. It certainly could meet some of our goals. Reminder that >>2760827 was chosen to be our motivation. We could definitely do the 2nd and maybe the 1st by going along with her but let's wait until after we actually get our license before making that decision.

Percy: I dunno, I’m still not sure what I’m going to do. I’ll tag a long for a little while and see what happens

Eli: Yeah! Don’t be a pussy and get cold feet at the last moment!

Percy: I’m not a pussy. I just think things through, unlike others…

Eli:You implying something? Let’s go, right here, “mano a mano”

Percy:Shit, calm down, wait, get off me!

Besides your little “scuffle” (shit you didn’t think she would be that strong) the rest of the training goes pretty well.

After Eli is gone you go to the rich part of the city. The Obsidian Towers are a huge apartment complex, they seem a little bit threatening when you are in front of them. In the center of a lobby there’s a big fountain with a statue of mythological Pokémon battling on the middle of it, a visual representation of one of the myths of the Aztlan region. After a little search by security you get on the elevator and head up to the upper floors.
This place is huge! After a while you finally found room 1015. You can hear some thrashing faintly on the inside.

>Knock
>Seems to be open, just walk in
>You know what? Let’s just leave
>>
>>2781398
>Knock
>>
>>2781398
>Knock
>>
>>2781402
>>2781429
You knock on the door, various time, until you get a response

???: SHUT IT, I’M COMING!

A blonde boy opens the door, you can see the exhaustion on his face, it’s the Rich Douche.

Rich Cunt: Took you long enough. Just enter

The place is way too big for an apartment. There’s a lot of modern and stylistic furniture, a kitchen that seems to have never been used and the most obscenely big flat screen TV mounted on the living room. There’s also these giant windows the size of walls that show half the city. Everything is in pristine condition, besides a pretty big crack in one of the windows.

Rich Cunt: Seems like my “informant” did a good job.

Rich Cunt: Now, let make things clear. I’m not asking for your help, I’m soliciting a service, that I will pay for IF it met my expectation

Percy: What do you want me to do anyway?

Rich Cunt:My Pokémon has been, “unruly” since the first day after it’s purchase. The little bastard doesn’t listen to me. Really it is a defective product made by it’s breeder. So I’m paying you to fix it.

Rich Cunt:I’m offering $15,000, this price also includes shutting up about this situation, forever. The green asshole is in the room over there.

>I’m not training your Pokémon, that’s your problem

>Go in the room with your Pokémon

>>2781443
>He wants us to calm down the shiny Bagon.
Now on the one hand, I want a shiny Bagon, but on the other hand, pissing off the kid who can call up his strong ass brother to kick our ass seems like a bad idea. Hmmm. I guess for now,
>Go in the room with Houndour
Too many Pokémon might make it skittish, but I want at least one body between us and the agitated Dragon Type.
>>
>>2781443
>I’m not training your Pokémon, that’s your problem. Frankly if this is how you see them you don't deserve any.

>>2781443
>>2781446
I second this. Rich kid doesn't know pokéspeech, so maybe we can talk the bagon into a deal. I doubt this this will work but maybe we can figure out what its problem is. If its just the trainer is a douche, we might be able to talk it into joining us later? Its a damn long shot but what have we to lose? 15k? I don't think we are going to succeed in making him listen to his trainer let alone us, but as they say; shoot for the moon and land among the stars.

Basically talk to the bagon see what is problem is, if its just the trainer is a bastard see if it wants to cut and run from the trainer later and join us. Make sure that the bagon runs away on its own instead of just trying to join us now. Maybe help it plan to escape? I doubt we can get away with just walking away with the bagon right here right now.
>>
>>2781443
>Bring him with you
I want them $15000 desu
>>
>>2781446
supporting this
while i also would like a bagon i doubt we can afford to buy one
>>2781528
you should also probably start a new thread so more people see the quest
>>
>someone took the Canea
>It's a kind and loyal Pokemon
>It could've been ours
Why anons, why did you forsake such an opportunity?
>>
>>2781571
It could have been a serial murderer for all we know. Just hugging people to death. I mean have you READ the cacturne pokédex entry?

If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.
I will admit that is one of many and the pokédex is usually off the walls crazy. Still if its true...
>>
>>2781443
>"...What exactly do you mean by 'fix it'? I'm not about to say yes to a request that vague. Even if I said yes, I can't guarantee any results to your liking."
The ideal outcome here is to convince the guy that his Bagon isn't salvageable and to ask us to dispose of it for him, but I don't think that's likely. I'll settle for not making an enemy of either of them.

If things keep on as they are, he'll dump the Bagon eventually anyway, and hopefully we can pick up the pieces.

>>2781446
>>2781555
>>2781559
>>2781692
Why do I get the feeling that if it wasn't shiny, people wouldn't be that interested. Also DRAGONS DON'T LIKE US. Odds are it won't listen to us either and if it doesn't work how he wants he's going to either have it killed or returned to the breeder. He's not going to give it to us, he's not going to just release it, it's not going to just run for it.

>>2781557
Only reason to actually try this.
>>
>>2781701
Eh, Salamence is one of my favourite Dragon Type Pokémon, it being shiny is just icing on the cake.
>>
>>2781701
its not that dragons dont like us, its just the ones we have met so far have been assholes
>>
>>2781443
>Go in the room with your Pokémon

I don't want to take this Bagon.
>>
>>2781692
Agreed
>>2781701
Dragon types are powerful. Whether they like us or not, if Percy can have a chance to befriend one in a tough situation, we’ll be closer to understanding them all, whether we pick up this Bagon or not.
>>
>>2781775
I'd rather live with the flaw and focus on the squad we have. But I'm in the minority and clearly not changing anyone's minds so let's just see how this goes.
>>
>>2781786
No, I agree with you, we've got enough on our plate as is.
>>
>>2781692
This
>>
>>2781589
We should at least try to befriend whoever adopted it and try to stop its murderous ways.
>>
>>2782295
I’m pretty sure Rich Cunt here is the one who adopted it, since it was carrying a note from him.
>>
>>2782367
I thought so at first but if he's trying to keep this hush hush wouldn't he hire someone else to deliver the note?
>>
>>2782392
He might have adopted the Cacnea on the sly, to quietly deliver letters and the like for him. That or it’s one of Rich Cunt’s lackey’s Pokémon. He seems like the sort that may keep a couple of lackeys.
>>
>>2781692
>>2781775
>>2781988
Percy: What exactly do you mean by 'fix it'? That´s pretty vague.

Rich Cunt:Just, make him follow my orders. Or at the very least, make him stop thrashing the room and trying to run off at every chance

Percy: Ok, but I can’t assure you he will change right away, that’s up to him

Rich Cunt:Whatever, If you can’t I’ll just find another person to tame the thing

>>2781446
>>2781555
>>2781559

You enter the room followed by Houndour, you don’t want to appear threatening to a Pokémon who is clearly in a stressful situation. You enter the room where the thrashing is coming from. It’s pretty different from the rest of the apartment. The furniture in this rooms has a lot of bite and scorch marks, there´s crack on the walls everywhere. You see the Pokémon bashing it’s head against the floor repeatedly. He’s been put on a big iron cage. The Bagon stops after noticing your presence and stares at you.
Introduce yourself and…

>Ask about him

>Say Rich Cunt wants you to talk to him

>Let him out of his cage

>Say you’ve come to help him

>Ask him why won’t he listen to his trainer

>Ask him why did he tried to escape

>Other/write in

Supporting this. I think it's fairly obvious why he won't listen but I want some specific details of what this moron's done.
>>
>>2782758
>>2782760
>>2782766

Let’s stablish a connection. You stand as tall as possibly and puff your chest to impose your presence, once the Bagon fully acknowledges you, you squat just slightly, arch a little your back and keep your arms fully visible at all times, trying to imitate a Bagon’s normal pose. You start to make low guttural sounds waiting for a response. The Pokémon seems a little confused, he stands from the ground and growls lightly.
Bagon: You are not one of my captors….

Percy:I´m Percy, soon to be trainer, I’ve come to help

Bagon: Help? How could you help me?

Percy:That’s what I want to figure out. So let’s start with this, what can you tell me about yourself? What are you doing here?

Bagon: Does your eyes not work? Just take a good look! I was made for perfection! The blood of champions course through my veins! My kin are the strongest amongst strong! I’m truly a precious existence, and my bright green scales prove this fact even further!

(Seems like he has some Ego issues)

Percy: Riiiight, I can see it now. Forgive me for being so blind. So I presume a being like you, couldn’t listen to a trainer like yours right?
Bagon: That’s is correct! I couldn’t even call him a trainer! He expects me to follow his command without proving himself worthy! How can such lowly being as himself think he can order me around? He probably doesn’t even have a pedigree!

Bagon: The day I got here he tried to make me swallow those DISGUSTING vitamins and when I started to claim my RIGHTFUL territory, he threw me in this room and left me alone for hours! Then the asshole comes back with a collar and a leash, like I was some sort of PET. Such an Insult. I’m not supposed to be locked up in this tower. My destiny is to conquer the skies and burn my opponents hopes and dreams!

>Try to convince him to listen to his trainer, that way he could get more freedom (and maybe a chance to escape)

>Try to convince Rich Douche of listening to the Pokémon desires

>Be a mediator between the two of them, maybe they can compromise

They're so alike, they should be the best of friends. The problem here's clearly that they both have egos too big for each other. Try to make them see each other as companions or partners or maybe even tenuous allies. We can show the relationship we have with Houndour as an example. Both of them can benefit from each other, they just have to establish their boundaries and respect them.

>>2782984

Percy:I think I know what to do

This isn’t just an issue about the Pokémon or it’s trainer, it’s about their relationship! They both have such big egos, that they just expect the other one to bend over their will.
A lack of communication and understanding can be fatal for the bond between trainer and Pokémon! Rich Cunt can’t expect me to just give him a fully obedient Pokémon, he needs to do his part. You get out of the room and drag him with you. He protests loudly but you ignore it. This needs to be done.

Percy: Ok, it’s time to put our, ehm, differences aside and listen to each other, yeah, that’s right

Rich Cunt: What are you doing?! I’m paying you to deal with this, not to drag me along with your “Poké-whisperer” bullshit

Percy:And that’s exactly the reason why I need to drag you along

You explain the Rich Cunt about what Bagon wants, to be treated with respect, a worthy trainer, and most of all, more freedom. And you tell Bagon that if he wants more freedom he should at least listen a little to his trainer, to assure a more beneficial relationship between the two of them.

Bagon: Listen to this chump? No way!

Rich Cunt: Me? Unworthy? I’m Richard Blackstone! Son of Blackstone CEO and one of it’s inheritors! I’m the fucking cream of the crop! This dumb lizard couldn’t ask for more!

Percy: Okay, maybe I need to change my approach. You see, Dick, a Pokémon isn’t something you own…

Dick:Legally, yes, they are

Percy: What I mean is that, a Pokémon is a companion, in many cases a friend! But even if you don’t like each other as much, you can be partners, benefit one from another.

Percy: That also goes to you Bagon, you can’t expect your trainer or anybody, to just be okay with what you do, there needs to be some communication, and who knows, maybe he could become a “worthy” trainer if you give him a chance!

Dick: Not following
Bagon: Not following

Percy: For fuck sake. Just. See, if you want respect you should respect your Pokémon or respect your master back. Listen to one another!

You explain to them your relationship with Houndour as an example, you both have different goals, and still, together, you came up with a way for both of you to benefit from your relationship, even if you weren’t particularly friendly with him. This seems to gave them an idea

Dick: Uhmm, maybe..
Bagon: I could give him a chance…

The rich guy walks toward the Bagon and offer his hands in sign of peace

Dick: I hope this relationship proves to be fruitful

The Bagon takes his hand with his paw and they proceed to shake on it

Bagon: Now let me out of the cage you fuck

After some signaling, Dick understands what the Bacon is trying to say and opens the cage. He seems to be establishing some ground rules, like, no more headbashing the windows or burning down the furniture. Bagon says he wants something to bash his head in, and to go out at least once a day. You help translate, Dick promises to find something for his bashing, and accepts to let him out but only if he accompanies him and the Bagon wears something to signal that he is an owned Pokémon. Also, he says your Pokémon talking abilities look pretty fucking weird. You don’t really care.

You hear some rumbling coming from the ventilation ducts. Something knocks on the ventilation slit before opening it. It’s the Cacnea from earlier

Dick: Good, I was waiting for you. From now on you are promoted from messenger to Bagon’s escort. You’ll accompany him whenever we venture outside and help us avoid more troubles like “yesterday”. Your pay will also be raised accordingly.

The Cacnea nods and then salutes to Bagon.

Dick: Well, we are done here. Your services have proven adequate

>Obtained $15,000, you are loaded!
>Obtained Dick Contact info

Dick:Your skills could certainly prove useful in a near future, don’t contact me, I will if it’s needed.

Percy: What’s up with the Cacnea?

Dick: He found his way inside the apartment. I’m still not sure how. So I decided to make him my employee, he can stay, eat, and I get things for him if he does a good job

Percy:What kind of things?

Dick: Berries, TMs, Clothing, Plushes to stab, he has a varied taste. Now get out of my house and remember, not a word about this!

Percy:Yeah, sure, don’t worry.

You arrive home later than usual, and you are dead tired. Tomorrow is Wednesday, you currently have $19,850. The tournament is getting closer. How will you spend this last days?
