Another day at high school, everything seems a little better since you started lately.

Everybody is getting a little anxious since is school is finishing up, thankfully you finished most of your school projects beforehand so you could focus in Pokémon.

Today you will also be training with Eli at the Outskirts of town, but in the meantime, what will you do?

>The unofficial battles at the school training grounds have started to gather bigger crowds, check that out?

>Search for any rumors regarding Pokémon, it may be mostly gossip but rumors always have some truth to them

>Check announcements for the upcoming End of the school year parties, you've never been a social fellow, but you have been getting better at "human interaction"

>See if you can find your Pokéfriends, maybe we can all hang out after training, or maybe they would like to join in

>Stalk Kali

>Search for Dick? (Richard, not literal dick)

Is Growlithe still absent, or is he with Kali again?

>>2783378
>Rumors and battles

Lets see if we can hear anything about the yellow king. I want to know if what we have done has shifted anything in how people view that part of town.
I also want to hear what a our pokémon think about the battles. What they would do if they were fighting. Try to figure out how they think a bit more and see if they already have good natural battle senses.

You make way towards the arena. It’s smaller than the ones at the Public training grounds, they seem to have received a lot of use this couple of days. A crowd draws near it, they are contemplating the latest match. Seems like Kali and her friends are also watching.
You can overhear talking from the spectators. You hear about the shiny Bagon sightings near the “Mega Poké-Mart Complex” and the ferocious trainer that claimed him. The horrific giant Electvire that lives in the abandoned factory and has calimed the lives of countless trainers. Besides the stuff you already know it comes to your attention the rumors about strange sightings at the abandoned Villa and unofficial caged matches organized at night near the slums.

Seems like the match just ended, a Sawk stands before a unconscious Nidoran. It seems like Swaks trainer has been taking challenges and remains undefeated. He’s getting cocky and it’s inviting anyone to take him on.

>You could take him (which Pokémon will you be using?)

>Let someone else do it, get more info on the rumors (which one?) or just watch the figh with your mons

>>2783989
Mimikyu is immune to fighting, and the other two is weak against it, so I vote for Mimikyu

>>2783989
>You could take him (which Pokémon will you be using?)
>Mimikyu
We're gonna fucking steamroll this dude.

>>2783989
>You could take him (which Pokémon will you be using?)
>Mimikyu
Doesn't that mean, Sawk can't touch our ass?

>>2784027
Unless he's been taught non-Fighting moves, the only thing that could hurt us is our own Wood Hammer.

>>2783989

>Mimikyu

People are blood thirsty today. Don't you worry that people will call this bad form for picking the one pokémon that we have that has an outrageous advantage?

>>2784055
I'm not in the mood for a fight but it's the nature of the beast. Would people call him cheap for having Sawk fight a normal type?

>>2784055
We're teaching this guy and anyone else watching the extremely valuable lesson of type variety.

You get inside the arena, confident in the advantage of a ghost type. This could be a good opportunity to show off these couple days of training.

[Sawk’s Trainer]: A ghost type? Kind of cheap don’t you think?

Percy: A trainer has to be ready for everything, you can change Pokémon if you want to

[Sawk’s Trainer]: There’s no need to. Now get ready Sawk!

Rolling for Sawks's bullshit, his DC is 8

What will you do?

>>2784662
>Evade that bullshit

>>2784662
>Focus on evading until he exhausts himself

>>2784662
Just stay still and evade if he tries to hit. Honestly, not much we can do other than our usual strategy. Unless we can stack another Double Team?

>>2784677
You can stack various "Double Team" Mimikyu current limit is 3, lowering 100% accuracy moves to a 50% chance of hitting

>>2784692
Would the DC to evade be harder if we did double team?

>>2784696
No, the DC for evading would be lower after using it,

if you are asking if using Double Team while evading would make that evading roll harder, the answer is also no, it would be the same

>>2784665
>>2784672
>>2784677

You instruct Mimikyu to keep evading, to tire Sawk out.

>Roll to exhaust him!

Percy: Hey dude, don’t you think Sawk should rest a little ?

[Sawk’s Trainer] What?

Percy: I know it’s none of my business how others battle, but I think Sawk deserves a little rest, he seems exhausted after all those other battles. I don’t think it would be good for him if he keeps this up

[Sawk’s Trainer]:… You are right. This is going nowhere. We give up, it’s your win

The trainer’s steps down calmly from the arena, Sawk follows, he seems worried to have disappointed his master, but he assures him he didn’t, what’s one lose after so many victories? The crowd is impressed with your Pokémon, he came out of the fight without getting any damage! You seem to have drawn the attention of even more people! Some of them even cheer for you! This feels good, you stand a moment receiving the crowd admiration until a voice snaps you back to reality.

Kali: Are you going to take more challengers? Cause I’m eager for a good fight

Wait, is she finally talking to us? What do?

>Accept without saying much, get ready for one more battle! Which Pokémon will you use?

>So we are finally worthy of your attention?

>Nah, I’m fine, I’ll see you at the tournament,

>Other/ write in

>>2784892
>>Nah, I’m fine, I’ll see you at the tournament,
Kali can fuck off. Also we should let our pokemon rest after a good match doesn't matter he didn't take damage he needs rest

>>2784892
>Accept without saying much, get ready for one more battle! Which Pokémon will you use?
>Houndour
We haven't actually let him fight at all. Also, sick ass dog fight with Growlithe.

>>2784892
>Accept without saying much, get ready for one more battle! Which Pokémon will you use?
Houndour. We still havent battled with him and if she is going to use the growlithe.


>>2784898

>>2784892
>Accept without saying much, get ready for one more battle! Which Pokémon will you use?

Well look who showed up.

Also, if we're going to end up giving names to our mons depending on their achievements, that performance should definitely be considered for Mimikyu's. Slick is the only thing that comes to mind for me but I'm not sure if that's snazzy enough.

>>2784927
That sounds reasonably autistic, I support it.

>>2784927
Personally im fond of shadow since he thinks he is our bodyguard. Literally shadowing us. Still lets think of a few more names before we just decide one. let other anons chime in.

>>2784948
That's 6-year old level autism. Might as well name Houndour Flame.

>>2784971
Shade, Wraith, Specter, Wight. If you don't like it come up with something better.

I like Ramsey tbqh. Because he cooks good.

>>2784995
>Ramsay
Good name

>>2784995
This I can get behind, better than all my ghost names anyway. Its a real name at least.

>>2784995
Oh, just noticed I spelled it with an e instead of an a. Whoops.

>>2784990
Calling him Shitface Garbageboy would be better than thumbing through a thesaurus for synonyms of Ghost.

>>2785023
Nah just memories of names from playing games over the years.

>>2785023
Just call him a negro since he's all black under that dirtyass rag

>>2784905
>>2784909
>>2784926

Percy:… Sure, let’s do this. Houndour! You are up!
You Pokémon moves toward your side of the arena and get’s ready for battle, he has only sparred with Eli’s Pokémon during training, this will your first real battle together. He tells you he isn’t affected by fire type moves, in fact, he gets even stronger when they hit him. Seems like he has “Flash Fire” as his ability. This could prove useful.

Kali snaps her fingers, and from the crowd her Growlithe jumps toward the battlegrounds. He seems different than before. It doesn’t do any unnecessary movements, he doesn’t even blink! He just stands still waiting for a command. The Growlithe seems pretty tense. He doesn’t growl or bark, he just stares deeply into Houndour, occasionally sniffing to identify his essence. It’s a little unnerving for you and Houndour

>Growlithe “Intimidate” unnerves Houndour! This makes him more careful when attacking lowering the damage caused by his attacks.

How will you start?
What’s your battle approach?

>>2785041
Sorry for the lateness, went to get dinner

>>2785043
Its fine man. We all got to eat after all.

>>2785041
>Evade
>Counterattack with Leer
Let's get him right back.

>>2785041
Also, the whole robot thing Growlithe's got going on is a little disconcerting. Hopefully she didn't do anything to him.

>>2785041
>>2785046
This. Evasive approach as well.

>>2785052
If not her then whatever organization she's connected to. She was way too suspicious. What'd she say before when putting us off? She's being watched or chased or something?

>>2785059
Oh yeah, forgot that was a thing we could do. We forgot about it last battle, huh?

>>2785046
>>2785059

>Growlithe gets some recoil damage! it's not much but it's and advantage!

What will Houndour do?

>>2785118
Hmmm. You guys think we should try and defend and counter, or just evade and counter? If we're successful I'd assume we'd get the flashfire bonus, but not sure if we should risk the higher DC.

>>2785111
Yeah, I decided to change to selecting approaches at the start of the battle, or during a switch.

Because there would be nothing stopping you,, or other trainers from changing their approach every turn and always getting a bonus for it.

This way selecting an approach has more weight during battle,

Even though Eli did that and you still kicked Jaw's ass

>>2785126
Ah, fair.

>>2785124
That depends on if this flash fire is like in-game where it only enhances his own fire type moves or if it's a general buff.

>>2785134
Actually wait, we don't need to defend/evade at all. We're both resistant to fire and have flash fire. Just attack with Bite. We can make him flinch.

>>2785134
It's more of a general buff, not as strong as the normal flash fire buff.
I feel it's more practical than only enhancing his fire type moves

>>2785140
Hm, true. Shall we just take the attack head on for a guaranteed connection with
>Bite
then?

>>2785152
Sweet. That's a lot better than in-game. A good trade-off.

>>2785154
Definitely. Though it's not necessarily guaranteed. A critfail is always looming above us.

>Growlithe covers himself in flames and attacks Houndour!

Before you Kali gets a chance to react, Houndour mouth is closing in fiercely on Growlithe neck. The Pokémon that previously demonstrated the concentration of a trained soldier can't stop yelping in pain.

>Growlithe flinched!, this turn he can't act or retaliate.

>The bite caused some serious damage! Growlithe can still fight but it's obvious he has been hurt

Press the advantage. Another Bite. You know what, no, order a Thunder Fang, see what happens.

>>2785233
>Bite
Can we try and maintain our current grip on Growlithe's throat, see if we can make it pass out from oxygen deprivation or pain? If not, focus on biting a back leg. If we can limit it's mobility, even after it recovers from the flinching, we'll be at even more of an advantage.

--Houndour let's go and does a fucking backflip while preparing his attack. Letting the purple ball of smoke out during midair and hitting Growlithe on the wounds of his neck.

The attack connects and purple smoke dissipates surrounding the Growlithe. He looks bad, pretty bad, the toxins got into him pretty damn fast thanks to cuts from Houndour's bites.--

Not great, but I mean the distance, Houndour's more or less immaculate condition, and Growlithe being on it's last legs factored in, I think a partial success will probably do the job.

>>2785352
>1 pass
>Barely managed

-Growlithe speeds up even more! He starts bashing and thrashing at Houndour with everything he's got! He starts cornering Houndour, forcing him to step back. Houndour barely manages to evade the hits. Every attack more close to hitting him until...

Growlithe just falls to the ground, the Poison has done him in, he lays there, breathing heavily.

You can see the despair and anger in Kali's eyes, they look so different from the first time you saw them. She's fighting to retain her composure--

>You were right, that was good fight, see ya

>Damn, that was pretty close

>Was that supposed to be a "good fight"?

Despite how it may have appeared, that Reversal was pretty dangerous. If even one of those had landed, I imagine we'd have been in trouble.

Supporting this. I don't think we should do the "can we talk now" question. Not going to come across favorably at all.

>>2785379
Also last post of the night, gotta get some sleep.
I'm not sure if I can run tomorrow, hope I can. If not, next session will probably be monday 5:00 or 6:00 pm MDT

I'll leave the voting for dealing with Kali open, also, it would be good if we could settle for some names for our team
.
I'll try to update the pastebins with more info.

How's the quest so far? thoughts? comments? questions about the setting, or literally anything?

>>2785386
I'm enjoying it. The grammar and spelling errors irk me a bit, as I believe I said before, but you update pretty quickly in exchange, and it's your first quest, so it's easy to look past them. Enjoying the story and setting otherwise. Just to be clear, what exactly is the license event? Some sort of tournament with the Pokemon we enter it with, or something else?

>>2785379
>>2785383
Supporting this, too.

>>2785383
I’ll support this, on the condition we add
>Congratulate Mimikyu and Houndour on their respective wins. They’re gud bois.

>>2785393
It is a battling tournament with the Pokémon trainers bring to it. One Pokémon is allowed to enter for each trainer.

Winning the tournament it's not necessary to pass this part of the exam. It was made to measure the abilities of trainers to command Pokémon during battles. If you can make the mon follow your orders you are going to approve, even if you lose.

Nevertheless, the tournament isn't meaningless

Pokémon Battles are a huge deal on the Aztlan Republic, Professional trainers are treated akin to Pro Sport players, they got people recording their progress, strengths and skills. Many of them are even sponsored. (It's not weird to see Professional Pokémon Battles where the mon is wearing some dumb hat with the "BlackStone" logo on it, that gets completely destroyed after 15 seconds of fighting.)

Placing high in the tournament could attract plenty of attention. Besides, the tournament offer some really good prices to the winner and runner-ups, to motivate trainers to try their best. Like Evo-stones, Attack boosting items, hard-cold-cash, all that good stuff

>>2785383
Support for this.

>>2785380
>>2785381
We already have her number so putting her on the spot about a conversation that should happen in private will just make her hate us. I don't even care about her and I can tell you that doing that is a bad idea.

Thanks for the run! Missed the last bit but Mimikyu and Houndour kicked ass!

For names:
>Whismur
Queenie. Because she's guaranteed to blow your mind (with hyper voice)
>Mimikyu
Ramsay. He's a good cook and it's close enough to Ramses that it covers the ghost aspect.
>Houndour
Either Chief or Sarge. It has that level of authority associated with it without sounding like he's in charge of us.

You congratulate both Houndour and Mimikyu! They did really good on these fights! Mimikyu gets really excited by your praise, and says he will continue to make you proud. Houndour doesn't want to show it but he feels pretty good about winning that last match, it's good for his pride.


Percy: Hey, thanks for the match, that “Reversal” could have been bad news for Houndour if it hit. Growlithe was pretty good out there.

Kali´s expression soften slightly, she let’s a sigh and walks toward Growlithe, now sporting disappointing on her face. It’s is towards her or to her Pokémon? Maybe both.

Kali: But It didn’t, not even once… it’s still not enough… (Keli murmurs quietly)

Percy: Oh by the way, take this, for Growlithe

--Percy handed out one of his antidotes—

Kali: …Thanks Percy

>Relationship with Kali (???)

Kali sprays Growlithe wounds with the Antidote and gives him a little rub before taking him and walking outside the arena. She looks to be lost in thought.

>This outcome will change Kali’s and her Pokémon performance at the tournament!

You can feel the looks of awe and admiration from the crowd, it’s even bigger than when you demonstrate your abilities at communicating with Pokémon!
>Percy is now acknowledged by his peers at school! Still kind of awkward when talking to people (with some exceptions)
Still, you feel some sort of chill down your spine. Amidst your classmate you can feel various glares directed towards you. Jealousy, anger, and something else, something that feels, almost dangerous…Maybe is just your imagination.

But enough of that! Your free time has ended, it’s time for the last classes of the day, and after that….

>>2789439
It’s now time to resume your training!
Let’s review our friends progress!

Both Houndour and Mimikyu have been getting more accustomed to battling, and have become faster, stronger, basically they have gotten an all-around boost to their battles capabilities but how much?

Also, Whismur has been focusing on raising her special attack! She definitely has made some progress, but…

Roll 3d20 to determine how the training has gone so far!
First roll is Houndour, Second Mimikyu, third one Whismur
Best of three

1-5: not as much as you wanted to, but there’s still time to fix that
6-12: Everything is going nicely
13-17: Pretty damn good! Better than you expected

So Houndour doing great, Mimikyu needs some work, WHISMUR HOLY SHIT!

Whismur is insane.

>>2789456
Damn, Whismur got gains.

>>2789449
>>2789456
>>2789459
So two did quite well (Unless that one’s a crit fail) and one did great. Nice.

>>2789444
Oh shit that's right, Whismur's been focusing on raising Special Attack. We're gonna need earplugs for her improved Echoed Voice.

>>2789449
>>2789456
>>2789459

14: Houndour
13: Mimikyu (But also, that one...)
NAT 20: Whismur

Houndour’s training has come up nicely. He had some past battling experience so he always had a sense for fights, this “sense” has improved pretty good with all the sparring he is doing lately, besides, you can see that his attacks have started hitting harder, he’s gotten a little more resilient, and it’s even faster!
Good work Houndour


Whismur has really surprised you! She is been practicing her “Echoed Voice” a lot, you have been coaching her so she can rely more on it during battles, besides that, she’s been trying to amplify it’s power, trying to improve is vocal range, she has not only manage to make that attack even more devastating, she learned on her own to do “Screech” and “Supersonic”! If she refines her Vocal Range some more, she could learn “Uproar” or even “Hyper Voice”
>Whismur learned: Screech, Supersonic!

Mimikyu is also doing well, he mostly has improved his speed. But lately you’ve seen him a little lost in thought during training, and as soon training stops he goes back to your backpack to rest, you are not sure if something has been bothering him lately. This could affect its performance during training, and more importantly you are just worried about him

Will you continue with this kind of training? (Maximizing Gains)
Or will you switch it up? (For whom?)

>>2789444
>This outcome will change Kali’s and her Pokémon performance at the tournament!
Good for Kali I guess, maybe not so great for us. Who do we need to watch out for do you all think? Rich Cunt’s Bagon seems like it’ll put up a fight, though I doubt their coordination as a team will be on point even if we’ve somewhat smoothed things out between them. Eli of course is going to be a big problem, since she’ll probably enter with that Totodile and we’ll be entering with Houndour. Kali’s Growlithe’s probably going to be even stronger for the tournament, and Reversal would be a big problem anyways. We should probably watch out for the kid with the Sawk as well, since we won’t have type advantage again if we fight him with Houndour.

>>2789524
Focus on learning new moves for Houndour.
Try to teach Whismur Uproar and/or Hyper Voice.
Check in with Mimikyu and see what's up, he might need something more specific.

>>2789524
>Switch Whismur over to battle experience
>Switch Houndour over to training a stat (Attack maybe?)
>Switch Mimikyu over to training a stat (Speed)
>Ask Mimikyu what’s up
Round them all out somewhat.

>>2789532
Houndour and Houndoom are better special attackers, and Mimikyu focusing on speed even further isn't rounding it out any, it's doubling down.

>>2789524
Nice to see we don't have a standard 4-move limit.

>>2789530
Maybe have Houndour learn Feint Attack? Not sure if it'll work the same way here as in-game but it could at least be a reliable hit for us. Then again, Fire Fang would be nice if we enter the tournament and go up against Sawk.

I think we should make Whismur stick with Echoed Voice for now and just increase Speed. Evade has been pretty good for us thus far and getting the counter hasn't been that hard.

What moves are available for us to learn exactly, OP?

>>2789539
I meant less rounding out their stats and more the types of training they were doing. And yeah, Special Attack might be better then Attack for Houndour, wasn’t super sure what to pick for him. As far as Mimikyu goes, we may as well take advantage of the fact that he’s always going to be a small target, especially when all the Pokemon he eventually has to fight become way bigger then him.

>>2789556
On your own you can help your Pokémon learn any move they would normally learn via a level up on the Gen7 games, other moves require a tutor or a TM

Moves that are learned by their evolutions, for example (Houndoom's ThunderFang) would be really hard to master at a previous evolution, but with a lot of hard work, and good rolls, it's doable

>>2789584
>Houndoom's Thunderfang
Oh man I want to risk it just to see the look on Eli's face. I want to make sure, does Speed help for evade rolls?

Here's what I'm thinking so far:
>Houndour trains Special Attack
>Whismur trains Speed (if evade) or Defense (if not)
>Ask Mimikyu what's up before we start training him

>>2789615
That's correct, speed helps in evade rolls

>>2789615
I'll support this, to settle it I guess. Thinking Defense over Speed for Whismur though. Not sure how much it'd affect evasion and all that, but Loudred and Exploud are kind of...awkwardly proportioned, so it seems like they'd have more trouble evading then, say a Houndoom or Mimikyu. Also wearing down our opponent while not tiring yourself out and avoiding serious damage seems like it'd be better in some situations then just evading.

>>2789667
>>2789615
>but Loudred and Exploud are kind of...awkwardly proportioned
Aw fuck, don't remind me that our cute little Whismur's gonna evolve and not be so cute anymore. But alright, I'll change over to train Whismur's defense. This'll help whenever evade fails anyway so it's still pretty good.

>>2789615
>>2789667
>Raise Houndour Sp.Attack
>Raise MImikyu Speed
>Raise Whismur defense, when she evolves it would be harder for her to evade hit’s so building up resistance could be good

Today Eli’s looks pretty pumped, she’s been training harder and harder since she started. You congratulate Houndour and Whismur (Damn!) on their respective progress before going to Mimikyu, the Pokémon clearly looks spaced out, you just hope it isn’t nothing serious.


Percy:Mimikyu, are you alright? It seems like something is bothering you

Mimikyu: It’s nothing Master, I assure you it won’t interfere with my battling capabilities

Percy: That’s not the problem, I just want to make sure my friend is okay, so if there’s something that’s nagging you, just know I’m here to help

Mimikyu:… Let’s speak of this in private, later, I wouldn't want the others to listen... thanks Master

After another long session of training Eli’s bids you adieu and you are left alone with a couple hours for yourself, what’s the plan today?

>Check a rumor (Abandoned Villa, Underground Fight Club)

>Keep training (Could exhaust you and the Pokémon)

>Go shopping, you got more money recently

Mimikyu:… I´ve… I´ve committed a grave “sin”..

Percy: What do you mean by “sin”? I know you are not a bad Pokémon, c´mon Mimikyu, this a judgement free zone

Mimikyu: That’s a different matter, no offense Master, I know you´ll get better, but that couldn’t be called food

Percy:Fair point, so what is it then?

Mimikyu: My hunger isn’t physical, but emotional… tell me master, do you know the mysteries of the fairer gender?

Percy:Well, I´m not the best when it comes to human women, but I do know a lot about Pokémon, and by extension female Pokémon! So maybe I can help you out

Mimikyu: Then, please hear me master
“I heard her during the dead of the night. I worried it could be something dangerous to Master so I reared my head through the window to see it. And there she was, sitting alone by the moonlight, her visage was captivating, she seemed to gleam more brightly than the moon itself. I should have returned to watch over you, but I just couldn’t stop watching her, her green slender figure won’t get out of my mind. The next night, I didn’t want to admit it but I was waiting for her, patiently, for some reason the idea of her never returning made me sad, but then, once again I heard her light steps, but they weren’t only hers time. Another Pokémon, a male of her same kind was with her, he made her smile, he could walk besides her so easily, hold her hand”

(That was… something)

Mimikyu: They looked so happy together….

Mimikyu: My kind has always been a lonely kind, it’s hard for us to interact with other Pokémon, humans avoid us, and our appearance drives even ourselves away

Mimikyu: I’ve been so lucky, to find a Master to serve. I should be realized! Why these foolish desires for more?

What will you say to this hopeless romantic?

Mimikyu: If you really think so… maybe I can try

Percy: It’s decided! We can go over this later at home. Now, how about we do some exploration?


The abandoned villa is located on the other end of town, it’s gigantic and dilapidated exterior is completely covered with plants that have been left unattended. It’s technically prohibited for people to enter, but the police don’t really care about it. There’s been talk of a mysterious unrecognizable figure that looks like a walking corpse roaming inside. It’s probably just bull, but there’s a big possibility that it’s a rare or various rare Pokémon! They usually end up being the explanation to most rumors.
This place has been abandoned since you have use of reason, they are various stories regarding the place. Like that it was the vacation home to some famous gangster who got busted for drug trafficking, or that its original owners went crazy one day and killed one another. And others say that it was the hideout to a full criminal organization, where they experimented on humans and Pokémon.

Let’s…

This place is huge! It’s even bigger on the inside! It could be easy to get lost on here, the main entrance leads to a spacious living room and a spiral staircase, even in the base floor there’s a lot of corridors with tons of rooms which doors have either been busted or locked shut. According to the rumors there’s supposed to be this secret pass away to a underground basement, the stories about what’s inside it range widely.

You head to the room where the cold feels stronger, after walking for a bit you encounter a door from where a freezing breeze emanates. Thankfully the door is open, you push it to enter, the wood feels like ice on your skin. It’s a weird room, you can’t really make out its purpose. There’s no windows nor furniture, just a weird looking refrigerator, but it seems to be unplugged, nevertheless you can feel that the cold is coming from here.
The ice prevents the door from opening, thankfully Houndour heats it enough to melt it. You and your mons take a peek inside.
It’s seems to be full of some sort of test tubes? You have no idea what’s inside them. But what caughts your attention is the TM inside, it’s an ice tupe move judging by it’s color! It’s seems to be trapped in a chunk of ice, how appropriate, so Houndour once again melts it down!
Except it doesn’t work this time.
Seems like what keeps this thing cold is a big chunk of NeverMelt Ice! And somehow the TM is inside of it!
Will you…
>Grab that Never Melt Ice from the fridge! (But you’ll break the TM in the process)
>Smash the Never Melt Ice! Just enough to get the TM (will lose the NeverMelt Ice)
>Disregard that, Let’s drink from those test tubes! This is a good idea!

Also,
>Keep exploring?
>Return home early for dinner

Not sure if it was mentioned before but are these infinite TMs or single use?
either way grab that instead of the ice

>>2791666
>Smash the Never Melt Ice! Just enough to get the TM (will lose the NeverMelt Ice)
>Grab the test tubes
No reason not to.

Infinite uses

The TM just seems more useful
