>>2814139
Glad to see you came back.

>>2814139
You pass through the hole on the thick and rusty metal door. It seems like a storage room for important things, there’s a lot of shelf but most of them seem to be ransacked a long time ago. Still, seems like some stuff have been left behind. You look through the empty boxes and shelves stashed away looking for anything, thankfully, some stuff catches your eye thanks to their shininess.

>found an Ice Stone!
>found a Dawn Stone!
>found (5) Rare Candies!

This is some good loot! Even though the stones aren’t particularly useful, they may come in handy later, or maybe you could sell them…

You look some more just to be sure you aren’t forgetting anything. Searching on every corner of the room you only find dust and old ruined notes, until something under a shelf caught your eye.
Oh shit
OH SHIT
OH FUCK
IT’S A MOTHERFUCKING “KEY STONE” AND A “ABOMASITE” HOW COULD THEY FORGET SOMETHING LIKE THAT HERE? HOLY CRAP THIS THINGS ARE ILLEGAL AS FUCK IN AZTLAN
….oh

>after further inspection, it seems like the “KEY STONE” and the “ABOMASITE” are cracked, unusable, still. You guess this is are things Abomasnow wanted to get rid of

>Obtained cracked KEY STONE and cracked ABOMASITE!

You have no idea of what to do with neither.
After stashing everything in your bag you come out of the room. Abomasnow seem to have taken some distance. Maybe e can still feel some lingering effects of being near the ABOMASITE?

Also it’s really late

>Return home as soon as possible, your parents aren’t home right now but streets at night aren’t particularly safe, also you don’t want to worry your sister

>Stay in the white room a little more (Talk to Froslass again? Maybe there could be a Pokémon willing to join you? Or anything else) even though you’ll get home even later…..

>Other/ write in

>>2814230
If there are any Alolapix around, talk to them, and see if we can't get them to join. Only way that Ice Stone will be useful.

>>2814230
>Return home as soon as possible, your parents aren’t home right now but streets at night aren’t particularly safe, also you don’t want to worry your sister
This is a good point to stop, we can come back right before our journey to see if anyone will join up but we need to focus on training Houndour for the exam tournament.
Also, shortest hiatus ever, but you won't hear me complaining.

>>2814230
Haha, I see you took that 99.
>Stay in the white room a little more (Talk to Froslass again? Maybe there could be a Pokémon willing to join you? Or anything else) even though you’ll get home even later…..
Ask Mimikyu if he likes the Froslass or not. I imagine not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

For the rare candy, unless you guys want to save a couple or evrn all of them for later, I say training up our choice for the exam as much as we can and then giving them the candy a day before. More gains that way.

>>2814337
I disagree. I think everyone on our team deserves at least one, for their fantastic work today. The extra two, we should save for the time being, and figure out later. Maybe if we get a new team member, we'll give them the candies, so they can catch up a little.

>>2814337
I think giving him three would be advisable, and keep two in reserve. I'd say give them to him early in the morning the day before the tourney, make sure he has some time to adapt to the sudden power boost during our final training session.

>>2814350
Maybe give Mimikyu and Whismur one each, and Houndour the other three? While I do agree they all deserve a reward, it makes sense to give the Pokemon that will be competing in the tournament the lion's share.

>>2814367
Doesn't seem fair to give Houndour preferential treatment.

>>2814357
>>2814350
Fair enough, I agree whimsur and mimkyu do deserve a power boost too for their hard work. I can agree to to them each getting 1 and giving houndour 1 to 3 rare candies. I would say giving him all 3 though since we want to make him a champion and train him to be strong like his father asked of us.
>>2814357
I agree, he's the one actually fighting in the tourney so giving him the rest just makes sense.

>>2814230
>Return home as soon as possible, your parents aren’t home right now but streets at night aren’t particularly safe, also you don’t want to worry your sister
Also we did just get injured by Snorunts with ice shanks. I think this is enough for today

>>2814373
It's not about giving him preferential treatment, we're prepping him for the tournament, it's why we agreed to help him find a home for his pack, well that and Percy is too nice let pokemon down, there will be no hard feelings if we lose but that doesn't mean we don't intend to win either.

Also please save all the Rare Candy for the future, and not use any of them right now.

>>2814383
Those are very rare, very valuable treats, and giving the lion's share to Houndour because he's going to be fighting in the tournament is, in fact, preferential treatment. All of our Pokemon will be fighting for us, at one point or another, and all of them need to get stronger. I understand the pragmatic perspective you're approaching the matter, thinking in terms of levels, power, and efficacy, but that's not all our Pokemon are. They're our pets and friends, and we should treat them fairly.

>>2814397
How about this: We'll approach our Pokemon about it later, and see what input they've got, and come to a decision based on that.

>>2814397
Giving the lion's share to the friend we're training to battle on our behalf in an important battle for the sake of becoming a trainer seems completely fair. Especially when he's the only one of the three that joined up with us to get stronger, whimsur needed a surrogate mom and mimikyu just seemed lonely. Plus I think they're both thoughtful enough to know we're preparing for something really important to us, not playing favorites.

>>2814405
It seems LOGICAL, but it doesn't seem FAIR. The others are just as deserving of the candies as Houndour is. They all performed well under difficult situations.

Well, you are going home late so you might as well make the most of it. That's what you were thinking until you started to feel all the pain covering your body once again, also using a Potion meant for Pokémon to stop bleeding doesn’t assure you an immediate recovery.

It hurts like a motherfucker.

You decided to go home for the time being. Abomasnow said you are welcome as long as you don’t carry any ill intentions (and bring gifts, preferably food for him from the outside)

You basically limped all the way through the city aided by your Pokémon until you arrive home. Oh, home, sweet, sweet home.

You stumble upon the sofa and just drop there. Unmoving. Seems like Mr.Snub noticed your current condition and started making a racket about how you were going to die and that you were in need of medical attention right now. Such a worrywart.

He went and notified your sister, thankfully she doesn’t speak “Pokémonese”

[Sis]: Hey bro, you came home late. Did you catch yourself girl? It doesn’t have to be pretty, just human you know…. Oh MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

Percy: Do I look so bad?

>You are fine, you just need some rest. Don’t tell mom and dad

>Could you help me out a bit? (could help you heal, will have to explain the situation)

>Please call mom and dad (They’ll come as soon as possible, healing earlier is guaranteed, but they won’t like this a bit)

>Other/ write in

>>2814417
>Did you catch yourself a girl? It doesn’t have to be pretty, just human you know...
Heh.
>Could you help me out a bit? (could help you heal, will have to explain the situation)
Will we have to explain the entire situation, or just that we got shanked by a Pokemon?

>>2814428
If you only say you got shanked she will demand the full story

>>2814409
Seems logical and fair

>>2814417
>You are fine, you just need some rest. Don’t tell mom and dad
Just need some rest

>>2814437
Ehh, I'll go with
>You are fine, you just need some rest. Don’t tell mom and dad.
Don't want her to get involved in this. I doubt it'll kill us.

>>2814455
>>2814459

Percy: I’m fine really, I ‘m just dead tired, need some rest

[Sis]: If you say so… But If you aren’t feeling alright please tell me! You make me worry sometimes..

Percy:Really, is nothing serious

You somehow managed to go on your bed, you think Mimikyu and Whismur helped you out, maybe, your head got a little fuzzy after talking with your sister.

It has been a long, tiring day. You can’t even move. You quickly drift to your sleep, your memories a thought start painting a dream on your head….

You have a dream of…

>A childhood memory, the first time you communicated with Pokémon
>A funeral and an old war tale
>Your first friend

......

You have a dream of one of your first memories, one you don't think about too often

A long time ago, you didn't live on the city, at least fo a little while you stayed with your maternal grandparents on their house located on the outskirts of Madeleine Village

You were like 4 you think, your sis was just a baby.

You don't even remember what were you doing there, you think it had something to do with your parents career

But you remeber being lonely, you were homeschooled by your grandma while you grandpa tended his berry patch. You remember them being nice but there were no other kids your age around.

But there were Pokémon

You liked to read about them, you liked to see them on those nature shows on tv, but you've never gottten near one

One day you heard your grandpa complaining about a pest eating his berries, he promised you to take you to town for some ice cream if you could find whatever it was

The following week you spend your afternoons looking at the patch, waiting for something to happen, sometimes a a zigzagoon or a pidgey would come near but you would shoo them off

Until, one day you finally met the thief. A little purple Pokémon came out of the bushes running, he snathched a berry and ran off.
You tried following but you couldn't catch up

This continued the following days, little Percy searching for a Rattata. You weren't the best tracker but finally you discovered his trail, and then his nest

You remember your first encounter with him, he growled and scratched you and you went home crying.

But it didn't stop you.

You keep visiting his nest, and keep getting scratched. Then you thought you should try to understand him better. First you watched all natures shows regarding Rattatas and othe Pokémon like it, that you could find. Then you asked Grandma to read you books about those Pokémon

Then you got the full picture. Rattatas aren't strong compared to other Pokémon, so they mostly travel in groups, but this one was alone. He was skinnier and smaller than the normal Rattata, he was left behind probably

He couldn't go too far from his nest since there could be predators like Pidgeot around, so he was stuck here, alone.

Like you

You continued visiting
Soon you started bringing him food
Then you tried to pet him and got scratched again
After a lot of band-aids he finally let you

Then he started mimicking you...
And you started mimicking him

A form of "communication" started

He started to follow you, and you started to brought him home secretly

You didn't want to train him, you didn't want a pet, you wanted a friend

You didn't think he would be a problem for your grandparents anymore, he was just hungry! So you were going to ask them if he could stay

One morning, while your grandma was teaching you how to read you heard it

A loud *BOOM* scared you

"Look at that Nance! Little Percy lured the pest out"

Your grandpa entered the house, holding his shotgun. Your grnadma screamed at him for using the thing instead of poison. You remembered that you left some breakfast for your friend at the door step

After that you kind of "shut down" for a while

>>2814702
Cripes, that's depressing.

>>2814702
Man, being Percy is suffering. Like holy shit.

>>2814702

It's thursday morning!
You wake up feeling a tad little better but still like shit!

Still, you really had nothing life threatening (Thankfully)

Still, some more rest would really help you out if you want to be fully healed by the tournament

Select one

>Skip school (there's really no more schoolwork or exams left, so you could afford to skip on these last days)

>Training with Eli (You have her number, so you could call today's training session off)

>Your free time (Go straight home after training)

>Fuck that, lets soldier on (could have long time effects on Percy's health)

>>2814718
Could we pop into a hospital during our free time today, and see if we can get some treatment? See if we can save our free time for the the rest of the days until the tournament?

>>2814718
>Skip school (there's really no more schoolwork or exams left, so you could afford to skip on these last days)
And go to the city hospital without our parents knowing. Hopefully there's free healthcare for humans in this timeline.

>>2814718
Sorry for the lateness, went out for some dinner

>>2814731
Sure, just resting during your free time would do the trick but going to the hospital could certainly be interesting

>>2814742
Then yeah, see if we can get some treatment at a hospital today during our free time. With any luck we might get mostly fixed up and able to operate at full capacity until the tournament.

Also gotta call it a night here, will be back tomorrow to keep running. Sorry for such a short update

I'll probably be running on weekends from now on, voting will be open until tomorrow

>Fuck public education

You stayed in bed until your parents and sister left early in the morning, you convinced them that you were too tired from training yesterday and that you could afford to miss one day of class no problem.

Thankfully they didn't have time to check on your bruises since they were in a hurry.

Maybe just laying on bed isn't enough so you decide to see if you could get some treatment.

So you'll go to

>"Human and Pokémon Public Health Center" the biggest medical facility on the city, your parents work here but since the place is so massive you could probably avoid them

>There's a clinic run by an old doctor nearby, he doesn't charge too much (1000) and you won't have to worry about being found out

>You saw one of those "herbal remedies" shops on your way to the slums, they also seemed to offer treatment to Pokémon and humans, Check that out?

Sorry, gotta go out for a while, will return soonish

Soooo, Eli, right?
It's gotta be Eli, she's got spunk, she's a go-getter and seems to be a bit of a daddy's girl, even if the Team Skull Grunt design isn't even in my list of favorites from the series, she's grown on me, and the punk girl being with the nerdy dork is some delicious opposites attract shit.
Kali can't even hope to compete with her "too good to even say hi to us in public" deal.
It's clear what will happen if we go with Eli on her journey to be the very best like no one ever was provided we don't fuck up our rolls and unleash the biggest deluge of Pokétreats from our pockets yet when we take it that way.

>>2816355
Kayo can't hope to compete with Eli because we also know barely anything about her. Although, even if we did, I'd still be leaning towards Eli anyway. Hotheaded rivals are pretty great. On top of the opposing personalities, our primary Pokemon (or at least our most experienced thus far) are also opposing types.

>>2816355
The question reminds are we going to lose our v-card to Eli or Kali. Or Pokemon?

I feel that Eli has some hidden issues, that once we get our relationship up, she's going to tell us how mess up her life is.

>>2816355
Agreed.

>>2816386
Didn't even notice the typing thing. Love it.

>>2816400
I'd definitely say Eli If she catches feelings for him I don't think he has much of a choice

I'm sure she has some issues but so does Percy. They'll help keep each other standing.

>>2816355
Ehh, I feel like Kali is avoiding interacting with us more for our sake then hers. That’s the vibe I’m getting anyways. And I’m not sure if Eli’s even vaguely interested in us that way. Maybe later on down the line, but I think she still sees us as too much of a pussy to consider us as anything other then a rival, let alone a romantic competitor.

>>2816444
Romantic partner*

>>2816444
I disagree. I really don't care for Kali's type. If she shows any interest in Percy it would only be once it benefits her and her image. Here's a tip, if someone says they can't talk to you for your sake, odds are they're lying. If something really was up she wouldn't get close to at ANYONE not just the autistic kid.

Eli doesn't really give a shit about appearances so she probably won't care about Percy being weird, she cares about him being honest.

Even if nothing comes romantically with Eli, I would like to be closer to her. I think she'd be good bestie material.

>>2816386
>Kayo can't hope to compete with Eli because we also know barely anything about her
Even if we did, the cold shoulder she's given us speaks volumes, she's barely worth it if that's how she treats us. Why does Percy have to do all the work? Friendship's a two way street.
Even a punk like Eli's been more of a friend to the weirdo the moment we actually reached out to her, she's even looking forward to us traveling with her, it shows a kind of respect needed for friendship that Kali clearly doesn't have for Percy because "Muh influence, your autism won't be able to last it Percy". Funny to note that after our battle we still got caught in that, if QM's foreshadowing was clear, only without even being friends or hanging out.
I don't mind getting to know her and be her friend because quest hooks, but she's not waifu material.

>>2816400
>The question reminds are we going to lose our v-card to Eli or Kali. Or Pokemon?
Kali is trash tho, and traveling with Eli and paying for an inn or motel makes it clear that, dice willing it's likely we can do it. The only way I see Percy going full Poképhillia would be if he fumbles the rolls badly with Eli, and maybe a third potential girl QM hasn't introduced yet later. Like, that would be 3 strikes, Percy would just go "can't into human women, Pokémon are so much easier to deal with and understand." And gets himself a Gardevoir or something. Bad End I'd say considering the social backlash.

>I feel that Eli has some hidden issues, that once we get our relationship up, she's going to tell us how mess up her life is.
Can't be that bad, when she told us about her goals she immediately said she'd return rather than leave forever because she wouldn't leave her dad high and dry, showing a high opinion of her father, and as studies have shown "daddy issues" is at the top of people's causes for losing their way really badly.
It can't be that bad.

>>2816444
>Ehh, I feel like Kali is avoiding interacting with us more for our sake then hers
That's poor excuse, anons still reached out only to be treated like they weren't even there by her, Percy's a big boy, he's got his mons, yet despite her treating Percy more like fine China than an equal, it still bit him in the ass from just a friendly spar that she started.
She didn't respect Percy enough to consider that he could handle her influence, so now on top of not even being on a greeting basis, we've still caught the eye of whatever she wanted us to avoid. Kali worst girl.

>And I’m not sure if Eli’s even vaguely interested in us that way. Maybe later on down the line
Obviously bro, we've known her less than a week, but she likes us enough to invite us on her journey and if romantic feelings show, it's gonna be during that, we'll be on the road together for a couple of months, bound to happen, dice gods willing.

>>2816508
>Kali is trash tho
She seems like the bicycle type, so yeah.

Things are looking up for Percy. He has a training partner with Eli, and got a good pokemon crew so he's pass the test with flying colors. After that it's a question of where will Percy go first.

>>2816500
I dunno, Kali's been giving off from pretty suspicious signals. The weird way her Growlithe was acting during our fight with it, the fact that she just handed out a rare candy easily as a show of trust, some of her dialogue:
>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--
I can get anger at losing what was more or less a practice match, or even some disappointment, but despair seems like a bit much, unless she really needs to win for some reason. Or her dialogue after the fact:
>"But It didn’t, not even once… it’s still not enough… (Kali murmurs quietly)"
It just seems more likely like she has a reason for not wanting to get too close to us right now. She said she'd be fine with interacting with us after we get our licenses, and if she was the sort of person that only interacted with people because it benefitted her image, then she would already be interacting with us, right? We've become something of a popular figure now, what with our helping out our classmates out with their Pokemon problems and winning those battles. I might be off, I can hardly say for sure, but something just seems strange about it, like it's something other then her not wanting to interact with us.

>>2816559
My money is on family issues. And she did interact with us as soon as we got popular. She said she's fine interacting with us after we get our licenses but that was to spare Percy's feelings. She's going to GTFO as soon as she has her license.

We probably won't see her until we're on the road.

>>2816582
>And she did interact with us as soon as we got popular.
Well yeah, but only for a battle, and it seems like she just came to pick a fight with whoever was champion of the schoolyard at the moment so she could test out her Growlithe, us being the current champ was just a coincidence. In any case, arguing about it isn't really going to get us anywhere, let's just agree to disagree for now.

>>2816636
Of course it was just for a battle. She can't come on strong since we're not supposed to know each other. Plus we're only recently popular-ish, can't associate with us in case we sperg out again.

But if you'd like to drop it for now then sure.

>>2816653
Or she likes us and acting really childlike in showing it. Like a girl bullying a boy because she like him, like in grade school.
But shitpost aside. Let's see it from her point of view, Percy his known as a autist. First meeting was before the test, than we went to the adoption place. She could have easily left but didn't. Saw us try to save a Pokemon and can talk with them. Maybe she trying to process what happen or just cares about her image.

>>2815922
>>2815934
>>2815936
More than a clinic it looks like a house refurbished to function as a clinic, it’s pretty small but still a lot of people who lives nearby prefer to come here instead of the Public Health Center since it’s closer by and it doesn’t has those long lines of injured and sick people waiting to enter.

You don’t have to wait long before you are attended by one of the human nurses, she leads you to the doctor’s office.

The doctor is an old aged man, he seems pretty tranquil compared to both of your grandpas or CG.Orizaba.
You explain your situation to the doc, while avoiding some of the more troublesome details. Like entering “off-limit” abandoned houses and getting shanked by Snorunts.
With the help of a nurse (a Munchlax with a little white hat),he treats your wounds more properly, cleaning it and applying a gauze, as well as rubbing some ointment for your bruises.
He gives you some painkillers, an antibiotic and more ointment. And advises you to take care and avoid intense physical activities to avoid reopening the wounds

>Payed up $1000
>Current Money: $18,850

Doctor: So, Percieval Williams, how are Lucius and Roxxane doing? Are they aware of your wounds?

(Oh shit, he knows your parents?)

Doctor: Don’t worry, if it’s a private matter rest assured I respect a patient’s privacy.

>Ask him from where he knows your parents, they have never come here before

>Just excuse yourself and go, you can hear some waiting outside to enter

>Other/ write in

Sorry for the lateness, had to do some grocery shopping and eating

>>2816778
>>Ask him from where he knows your parents, they have never come here before

>>2816778
>>Ask him from where he knows your parents, they have never come here before
Part of being a kid in the Pokemon world, he would understand

>>2816753
>Cares about her image
That's my issue with her. People who care about their image more than their friends are not someone to be friends with. They will toss you out as soon as you negatively effect that image.

>>2816778
>Ask him from where he knows your parents, they have never come here before
>>2816653
The point I was trying to make was that she came to challenge whoever was currently considered the strongest trainer in the schoolyard, so she could test out Growlithe, and us being the strongest trainer at the time was purely coincidental. If she'd come earlier, she'd probably have challenged the kid with the Sawk.

>>2816810
Mate, if she didn't want to be affiliated with us in any way due to our sperging out why would she have ever given us her phone number instead of leaving things off after that awkward ass attempt to partner up with her?

>>2816843
I agree. That's sort of my point. We had a use so it was fine to interact with us.

>>2816858
Because we're still potentially useful. You ever heard of stringing someone along? We got the rich douches number for the same reasons, he was just now upfront about it.

Percy: They don’t need to know, it’s just a part of being a trainer! Also, why do you know my parents doctor? I’ve never seen them come here before

[Dr.Osler]: Just be careful lad, you don’t want to make your old folks sad.
Oh, I guess they wouldn’t talk often their old teach. I used to impart some classes on the university your parents attended. They were good students, at least your mother was. Your father was always showing late, missing classes and deadlines, saying he got to “train” for the national league and whatnot. Thankfully he stopped and started focusing on his career when… you now. You came along

That was a bit of information you weren’t fully aware off

After thanking the doctor you went out of the room and headed out to the clinic, you were planning on bringing the Smoochum back to her home, so you’ll probably need to get a gift for Abomasnow thankfully you still got some time before going to train.
When heading out you see a familiar face
CG.Orizaba is entering the clinic, he seems to be carrying a Pokémon with him. That’s weird, you thought he wouldn’t handle something like healing the Pokémon that the Defense and Capture Corps captured.

[CG. Orizaba] (Mumbling) that girl can be so troublesome…

It’s that a Growlithe?
>You don’t have more time to waste, you need to help Smoochum now, also that’s a scary mofo
>Try to talk to him? Ask him about the Growlithe (you may not have time left to see Smoochum until your free time)

Meh, I can't really see her in that light, even if it is possible. If we take her actions at face value, then sure, she could be interpreted as a fairly stereotypical, manipulative popular girl, but if we'd only taken Eli's actions at face value then we'd just think she was a rude, loud, abrasive prick, instead of, well, all those things, but also nicer then she initially let on. I think we should at least give Kali the same consideration, and not just assume that she's doing everything for the purpose of stringing us along. Besides, it's not like she's the only on who's benefited from our interactions with each other thus far. I mean sure, we helped her get Growlithe, but we'd probably have gone down to the adoption center anyways, and we got all three of our current team members there. I'm not saying we should stupidly stick our neck out her behest, but we should at least avoid dismissing her and her actions out of hand because they could be interpreted as manipulative.

I don't think she's being consciously manipulative, but she definitely comes off as seeing our usefulness first and friendship second. You're completely right with Eli and that's why I prefer her. No one is making guesses at her hidden motivations because there are none. What you see with Eli is exactly what you get.

Now see, I was following what you guys were discussing and wanted to pointed out that it's a bit silly to both try to argue and make entire pointed guesses on the personalities of two girls that percy has had a very small handful of interactions with, and that trying to go for them, or even assuming they have or would be into the autistic kid they've interacted with a couple of times, is incrediably silly and that you guys are getting way too ahead of yourselves. Then I realized that Percy is a weird antisocial kid with no experience with girls in the slightest, so this entire conflicting argument/thought process completely fits into his character, so carry on.

>>2817055
I'd think plenty of muffins would probably be fine. Froslass seemed to like them, before she tried to abduct the one who baked them.

>And then there's this guy.
See, the problem with that is that you assume this is something being taken too seriously.
Nobody's getting ahead of themselves, nobody has any delusion that the girls are interested already, this isn't some meta narrative about players and the protagonist.
This is a collective game first and foremost and anons are just figuring out who to focus on for a much later payoff - that still might backfire because of dice rolls- and giving reasons as to why so that they can try to get on the same page so that the QM's writing of the protagonist doesn't become too much of a schizophrenic mess.
There's also clearly some engaging in the regular waifu bantering you see in pretty much any quest featuring opposite sex side characters.
Talking about these things while waiting for the QM is normal, it's called "having fun". It's like you haven't participated in many quests like this.

>>2817212
Also talking about these things helps the QM out as well. He could look at this thread and see that the players are liking the characters he made. And maybe while at it coming up with ideas on how to flesh out the characters, getting new ideas from the anons discussion.

>>2817212
I never said they were taking it too seriously, nor am I trying to sarcastically say they should stop or anything of the sort. I actually unironically enjoyed reading their thoughts on the matter but said simply that we should probably try interacting with them more before we try to peg their thoughts on us. I don't think you're taking the quest too seriously, that's dumb and I'm all for completely getting into the game, I think you just took my comment the wrong way and took that too seriously. Or maybe I didn't properly convey what I meant, and for that I apologize. Still, chill a little anon.

[CG. Orizaba]: you, CAN’T YOU SEE I’M BUSY HERE YOU ANNOYING PIECE OF…oh, it’s the Williams Kid.
Sorry boy, I have been in the edge lately. What do you want?

The man stands tall before you, waiting for a response, Growlithe is panting heavily, he seems completely exhausted, not even fully conscious. He tries to move by apparent instinct but CG. Orizaba holds him in place. You can recognize him, he’s Kali’s Growlithe

[CG. Orizaba]:Well?

Percy: Sorry, I just, ehm, wanted to see if Growlithe is alright,

The old man sighs heavily, looking at Growlithe and explains

[CG. Orizaba]: I suppose you where the one to told her to go to the shelter, you are so alike Arthur when he was young.
He isn’t hurt, but he has gone through some though things. Incessant battling and military grade training. Training that isn’t meant for normal Pokémon, let alone one so young. That girl thinks that he just needs to be fed and sprayed with Potions once in a while.

If I didn’t come home for some documents I would have missed “Sisyphus” here trying to push rocks over a hill with a macho brace on and almost being squashed. What could have gotten on that girl’s head?

(You think you know the reason for this)

[CG. Orizaba]: Could you do me a favor boy? I need to get back to the HQ, I couldn’t be seen with an unconscious Growlithe pumped up on Rare Candies. You care about Pokémon, could you please get him checked out? and take him to Kali after school. Why the fuck aren’t you in school? Nevermind, I trust you with this

Percy: Understood commander!
You say enthusiastically while doing what you think is the correct form of a military salute

[CG. Orizaba]: I’m already regretting this. Take care boy.

You return to clinic, the nurses and the doctor are a bit surprised you came back so soon. You don’t have to pay this time since the Commanding General gave you enough money to cover Growlithe’s treatment. It was basically some supplements, hydration and a lot of rest for the remainder of the day. The nurses set a little bed for him and hooked him on an I.V for some fluid therapy to get him hydrated, he should be ready to go in time to get him to Kali’s

You are left with Growlithe and your team.

Houndour seems disgusted by Growlithe condition, how can a Pokémon go to such lengths only for the wishes of a human? That wasn’t partnership like his deal with you, he saw it as slavery.

Mimikyu was a lot quieter, he said that Pokémon must serve their Masters, in usefulness lies company.

Whismur was kind of confused, did Growlithe get tired because of too much training? She also gets tired sometimes but not as badly. Did Kali do something wrong to her friend?

This started a little discussion between the two Pokémon.

I just want to hear Growlithe's take more than anything.

>>2817347
Honestly, the more we learn about Kali, the worse she seems.
This kinda completely explains why she wanted to avoid us in public.
She knows we are a Pokéautist that sees pokemon not as tools but friends and equals, and we can understand them.
Maybe this is why she wanted to avoid us face to face if this was how she planned to treat Growlithe, we'd not like this treatment or what Growlithe would say, not at all and she knows it, so rather than have to deal with us, she chose to avoid us.
Sure Growlithe desires power and a strong trainer, but damn, there's a better way to do it than this level of abuse: girl's putting a youngling through military training and feeding it Rare candies like treats, yet she still lost to our houndour. She might not be on the same level as those scientists but I wouldn't be surprised if Abomasnow wouldn't draw some comparisons in her current state.

>>2817362
>>Side with Houndour’s views
Pretty sure we've shown this partnership-type view before. There's gotta be a limit to how loyal you are to each other. Or in a way that Mimikyu can understand: Growlithe understands his own limits much better than his master, thus it would make more sense for her to stop when he can't keep going on. The result of her NOT doing so is Growlithe getting injured and thus being unable to serve his master and be useful.

This anon gets it. With what we know of Growlithe, it was probably pushing itself just as hard for it's own sake. This is why knowing your limits is important.

>>2817401
I don't think it's like that at all. Her grandpa is Orizaba, and we can infer that winning the tourney is priority for her. It seems like rather than making friends or trying to bond with Growlithe, her sole focus has been to get stronger and win. Possibly to be recognized/show defiance to her family? I think it's more like she avoided percy simply because she chose to focus on her training and pushed her partner too hard because she's a rookie that doesn't get pokemon are feeling creatures with limits. Definitely some bad habits and a bad mindset but I think it's born from ignorance, not soulless pragmatism. There's also a good chance Growlithe pushed himself just as recklessly and didn't allow his body to rest out of stubborness.

There are many paths to power and the fastest doesn't always lead to the best result.
We proved it in our fight, all we did was spar and train with Eli while pacing ourselves while Kali probably spent every day after school putting Growlithe through some spartan training.
We said to the shiny and Rich Cunt that there needs to be compromises and understanding between pokemon and trainer for a partnership to work for the benefit of both.
This isn't a healthy partnership regardless of if both desire the same thing, Kali worked Growlithe without any regard for his well being and this is the result, a setback that did more harm than good in getting stronger, intense training nonstop can put people out of commission for weeks and at the worst case permanently damage them.
Kali as an up and coming trainer should have realized overtaxing would lead to this, even if Growlithe wanted to continue, she should have said no.

>>2817440
I'm just speculating, not saying it's a fact.

>>2817474
I agree. I'm not saying Kali is blameless, just that they're both idiots. Both of them should have realized when it was too much.

I realize this, but the partnership between trainer and pokémon is akin to that of a coach and his athlete and puts the responsibility of the mon's well-being and health squarely on the coach so that the athlete can focus on his training.
If this balance isn't kept, because the coach keeps pushing and the athlete still keeps focusing on getting stronger than they will break down.
Growlithe can afford to be an idiot but Kali can't, she's the one with the authority and responsibility to reel him back when his idiocy starts showing itself.
I know she's still young and inexperienced, but damn, forget the license, she's already failed at being a proper trainer.

By the way, how many in-game days before the tournament QM?

Percy: Houndour is right Mimikyu. Humans shouldn’t treat Pokémon like this, even if you see me as your master. First and foremost, we are friends. And friends care for each other well being.


[Mimikyu]: I’m… trying to follow Master.


Percy: You don’t need, nor should work yourself to death to be useful. As your “Master”, just being happy and healthy is enough to satisfy me.


[Mimikyu]: I see...


Percy: And, Houndour, we actually don’t exactly know what the situation with Growlithe is. You remember how he was on the shelter? His mind was fully set on becoming stronger. Maybe the two of them were too reckless with their training, we should listen to him before making any assumptions.


[Houndour]: Hmph, I hope you are right Human.
You waited a couple hours before Growlithe finally opened his eyes. His initial reaction was trying to keep pushing but he still couldn’t move to much.

[Growlithe]: I´VE FAILED, IS THIS DEATH? SUCH DISHONARABLE END. HUMAN! YOU DIED TOO? SUCH SHAME

After a while he returned to his senses and without much convincing, during your way to school he told you what has happened the following days.

Training began the day he left the shelter. Running endlessly, cracking rocks with his head and body, breathing flames until he couldn’t, and evading all attacks directed at him. Then a light meal, and he finished the day battling every Pokémon he could, finally, before sunrise, I was left on the front yard.

The next day she brought “things”. Strange braces that difficulted his movements, and moving images that showed strange techniques, the images ingrained on his mind, and he repeated them with his own body endlessly until he got it right. And finally, before resuming the training, a couple of “treats” that made him feel like he was about to blow up in flames.

He kept practicing the moves, he started dragging rocks while running, melting rocks with his breath, and he fought every type of Pokémon he could find. Flying, Insects, Normal, Fighting, Dark, Psychic, Poison, Water and Ground.

This was his routine. Practicing moves, eating the “treats”, training endlessly and fighting all night. My whole body was shouting in pain, but I didn’t want to stop. And neither did she. I was stronger than ever.

>>2817681
>My whole body was shouting in pain, but I didn’t want to stop. And neither did she. I was stronger than ever.
At least he was on board with it? But we really need to get him to pace himself a bit.

>>2817681

“Then our battle happened. After that she became different. Instead of one she would give me two treats daily. Training became harsher, fights were more reckless. I wasn’t meeting her expectations anymore. She was disappointed with me. I saw her, looking through her glass screen for different Pokémon. She was looking for a replacement. Because I’m weak, still too weak. So I wanted to train on my own. She didn’t want me to accompany her this morning, so instead of resting I began to train. She seemed pleased. Maybe she wouldn’t replace me now. But my body wasn’t doing what I wanted anymore, it was slow, tired, weak. The rock was too heavy, I felt my legs giving up and the old man shouting. After that nothing “

This Growlithe is insane, also, what's Kali's deal? Pushing a Pokémon so far for a Rookie tournament?

You finally arrive at school, seems like students are just getting out. In the middle of the crowd you see Kali

How will you approach her?

>Just give her Growlithe and tell her that the medic say he needed some rest for the day

>Tell Kali she needs to stop pushing Growlithe so far, it isn't good for him

>>2817699
>Take Kali aside somewhere private with Growlithe and unload on the both of them.
They're both taking things WAY too far. Being enthusiastic and willing to train hard is good, but they need to moderate themselves or things will just end in disaster. If Kali starts saying that Growlithe isn't training hard or isn't good enough or some bullshit like that, then give her our usual training regimen and relationship with Houndour, and point out who exactly won our match. Pushing her Pokemon too hard is going to get her nowhere, and trying to replace him isn't going to fix the problem.

Whoop dee doo extreme anon, clearly you read it as "Well he was on board with it, so that extremely excessive training program is totally justified in my eyes." What I MEANT was that at the very least she wasn't one-sidedly pushing her Pokemon to it's breaking point against it's will. What she did was extremely overkill, true, but at least she didn't take a Pokemon like Whismur and put it through this Stygian training program, and instead worked with a Pokemon that actually had a strong desire to grow stronger as well, even if she took it way too far. Also, as a side note, if we give Houndour the remaining two rare candies don't give them all to him at once. Clearly the effects of too many at once are rather bad.

>>2817848
Holy shit. Imagine how weird this must be for Kali. First time she meets us our poketreats are spilling out of our pockets left and right. Next time we come off as if we're into her and trying to attach ourselves. Suddenly we've got a silver tongue and a silky smooth voice and lecturing her on her mistakes.

>What I MEANT was that at the very least she wasn't one-sidedly pushing her Pokemon to it's breaking point against it's will
There wasn't any doubt about that do, it was pretty obvious Growlithe would go with it from our interaction at the shelter.

>Also, as a side note, if we give Houndour the remaining two rare candies don't give them all to him at once. Clearly the effects of too many at once are rather bad.
We should really not use them yet. we should save rare candies for when our pokemon are high level and gains start getting harder to get.

You approach Kali and her group of friends. She tries to ignore you, but she can’t help herself after looking at you carrying her Growlithe (It’s pretty heavy). Before she says anything you signale her to come talk with you in private. She says goodbye to her friends hurriedly and goes with you, trying to make the fact she’s following you not obvious.

Kali: Ok, I need a good explanation as to why you have MY Growlithe or I’m calling authorities

Percy: “You” need a good explanation? Let me think, oh right, what about the fact you are a complete mess of a trainer? you’ve been pushing a young Pokémon to his breaking point daily? Or that you’ve been feeding him “Rare candies” as if they were goddam biscuits? I should be the one calling authorities

You kindly asked Houndour to translate everything you say to Growlithe, he seemed strangely pleased with the idea.

Percy: If it weren’t for your Grandfather Growlithe could have been seriously hurt! Or even died! He asked me to give it back to you, but honestly, I’m not sure if that’s a great idea.

Kali: He never refused to train

Percy: Yeah sure, cause he is as stubborn and hardheaded as his trainer! Did you even try to understand him? At the very least see how he was doing? Or did you think that just giving him a plate of food daily and spraying some Potions now and then could keep him running flawlessly as some sort of machine? You need to take care of him! Actually care about him! If you can’t at least do that, honestly you don’t even deserve to be a trainer.

Percy: And Growlithe this is no way to be treated or to train! You heard me! You could have gotten in a very bad condition! And all your effort would have been for naught! It’s good to be hard-working but working yourself to death is not the solution!

Percy: Growlithe you need to start thinking more about yourself, take care of your body. And Kali, you need to do the opposite, can you do that? Stop thinking about yourself for a moment and see how Growlithe is doing.

Percy: You pair of idiots

Kali is taken aback, mouth wide open. Growlithe seems ashamed. Then Kali gets really flustered and starts to retort back

Kali:D-Don’t act all “High and Mighty” Mr. “Friend to all Pokémon”, you also have been training your dumb stupid critters for the tournament you hypocrite! If not how the heck did you beat me?

Percy: Cause I actually train them properly, or at least more properly than you.

Kali:That’s bullshit!

Best to offer her a solution after that sick burn, let her see how we got our pokemon to beat hers without being near death.
Also I want to see Eli and her interact, at the very least Eli will appreciate someone else to spar, though it's better to send a quick message to see if she's fine with bringing someone else first.

Damn son. Is Percy even aware of the words coming out of his mouth or are his emotions on full blast and even he's impressed with how he's handling this?

She doesn't understand that our training method yields secret gains in Nakama power.

Also, is there any doubt now about who current best girl is? At least Eli treats her pokémon like her little posse, better than Kali treating them like machines.

>>2818041
Part of the reason I don't want Kali meeting Eli. I don't trust Kali not to shoot her mouth off or trying to use us for training purposes. I'm fine explaining what we do but I really don't want her tagging along.

Fair enough, at the end of the day I really want to make sure we leave Growlithe in the best possible situation. Showing and not telling gives a higher chance for that, I don't want Kali training with Eli and us to be a regular thing either.

Percy: You don’t see ANY of my Pokémon half dead because of fatigue, so whatever, believe what you want

Percy: You know what? You should come training with me, to give you an idea. maybe that way you won’t kill Growlithe

Kali:…Fine! I’ll go!
Kali: This better be worth it, you, you, stupid…shit!

You hope she can keep quiet for a while


On your way to the outskirts you start explaining her your training method, how you work with your mons to get combat experience, raising them with care, trying to understand how they feel and their necessities, actually bonding with them all that stuff.
Surprisingly, Kali is listening attentively. She may have a look of doubt on her face but she is definitely listening.
Percy: “Training isn't bad. It's necessary for Pokemon to grow, both physically and emotionally. But what IS bad is working them like a slave driver and ignoring their well being. You need to treat them with respect and care. They're living beings, not tools you can use to vault yourself to stardom, or whatever thing you are trying to do. If you don't believe me, ask your grandfather what he thinks.”

Percy:Also, I need to make three things clear.
1: This is a one-time thing, just to give you an idea
2: Growlithe will rest for the whole day, no training whatsoever, you are just here to watch
3: You’ll stay away from my friend I don’t want her to think we associate with you, just hide behind a rock or something, and after training is done you’ll go

She is fuming with anger! But, for some reason, she accepts these conditions.

You finally arrive, Eli acknowledges you with a grin, she’s more than ready to go.

Eli: Dude you look like shit! Did you get shanked or something? Well I hope it’s not a problem, get ready for some GAINS!

Sparring, working on your friends’ stats, resting with necessary, it’s really just the basics but you hope she sticks with them. Every now and then you make sure she is watching, thankfully Eli is too engrossed on training to even notice.

After some long hours, training is done. You check once more on Kali to see she just left, seems like she left a note behind on a little piece of blue paper.

Kali: Fuck you Percieval….

Well that’s just charming
Oh, it seems there’s more on the other side
Kali: and thanks

You hope that’s the end of it, you really just want the best for Growlithe

Eli: Hey dude, you busy tomorrow after training?

>Yeah

Just the best.

I like how Kali thought nothing of the fact that we were covered in injuries. We could probably have told her that we were personally sparring with our Pokemon, and it would have seemed believable.

>>2818193
>Maybe, why?

>>2818215
>A bit petty but still delicious how the roles reversed
It fits Percy's character to be like that honestly. He's still young and somewhat autistic. We also voted a while back that he was annoyed at Kali for continuing to ignore him after he got more popular with his classmates. However, I think the biggest influence of that complete massacre was her abuse of her Mon, which makes it even more hilarious that less than a week ago he must have come across as completely desperate for her affection. Shit doesn't even register in his mind anymore.

Probably works part time either at a pokemart, at a mall or fast food joint, you know teen's first summer job stuff.
Honestly pleasantly surprised though, girl isn't all talk, bet she's putting most of her paycheck into her travel funds for when she becomes a trainer.
Pretty damn responsible, mature and independent of a brash tomboy.

>AGE OF CONSENT
Don't know why you brought it up tho, MC's 15 same as her, age of consent laws don't ably to kids the same age.

Percy: Yeah! I mean, yeah sure, I think I could stomach one Unovian flick

Eli: Then it’s settled! You better not let me down!

You can hear her let out a small giggle, then she calls her team and rides off with them on her bike. Is surprising how she can balance the four of them and not lose any momentum

Should you bring something as well? She was a great help training.

Also, there’s one thing left to do….

You are making way to the shelter, hoping to find the Smoochum, thankfully she is still holding up. The employees made her some space on the freezer and put her there.
The employees all seem really surprised about how Houndour and Whismur are doing! Not even a week with you and they seem so different!
Also, Machop has been made an official employee at the shelter! The owner of the place adopted him after seeing him work so hard helping out. Lotad and Skitty seem to have been adopted too, Slakoth still lazes around the place, he isn’t really a problem for anyone. Psyduck also seems to be doing good, recovering mobility on his injured arm!
Mankey is nowhere to be seen, seems like he had to be put down…
Also It seems like Mime Jr didn’t make it…

You talk to receptionist, and ask about adopting Smoochum and you pay the adoption fee
>Lost $500
>Current $18,350

The poor little thing it’s still holding up but it isn’t so great, you ask for some ice to keep her fresh until you arrive at the “White Room”

Also, what did you get for Abomasnow?

>The rest of your Muffins

>>The rest of your Muffins
>See if anyone wants to join up to your group
That alolan Vulpix's pretty rare around these parts, plus considering Alola itself, it'll probably deal with the heat better than most of the pokemon in the white room.
Baring that, we should try wingmanning Mimibro and go for Frostlass attempt round two, now with less fighting.

>>2818477
Funnily enough I stumbled upon it in google images by searching "Female Team Skull Grunt", otherwise, I recommend one of the booru's with the rating:safe tag, that's what I use for character pics to post in quests, though there's a shameful lack of her around.

>>2818510
He has been on the shelter for a long time after an incident where he attacked some customers on a local restaurant. Nobody ha d tried to adopt him because of his never ending rage, any intention of taming him ended up on violent results. As he was only consuming resources and wasn't being cooperative the capture and defense forces ruled out that he should be put down

There was a reason for this violent behavior, even worse than the one of a normal Mankey, but that would be spoilers

You'll let Smoochum home and gave the gifts to Abomasnow, after that:

>See if anyone would want to join up
>Talk to Froslass
>Check on Hobo
>Explore the garden

In that order, is that all right?

It's weird seeing the serious and imposing Abomasnow get excited by treats and Muffins. Dittos usually go out to scavenge for food but it's rare for them to find stuff like this. He takes Smoochum to her family, all of them are really grateful. She is sorry for escaping so recklessly, and says she won't let their side again. Curiously heartwarming for such a cold place

You ask Abomasnow permission to see if anybody would like to join your team you assure him you would take care of them and that they will be free to return if they wish so

He is in a pretty good mood, so he agrees. As long as the whole group of those Pokémon are fine with it, and you can only take one with you.

You go around the compound, talking to all the Pokémon, most of them are pretty content with their lifestyle, but it's seems like some of them are itching to go out and see the world


>A young Alolan Vulpix, she seems eager for adventure, ready to take on the world! But her group disagrees. Their kind were breed to be sell off as pets, since Ice types are popular amongst the rich on Aztlan it makes sense. (You'll need to convince the pack)

Cool, guess we've got ourselves an Alolan Vulpix. Kind of wanted the Snover, but this works to.

>>2818614
Definitely the vulpix. We can guide its attitude and give it the appropriate support. Otherwise it will just escape out of stubbornness and die alone.

Oh yeah, should we expose Vulpix to the Ice Stone right away do you all think, or should we hold off for now? Feels a bit unfair to just catapult Vulpix up to evolution while the others have to work for it, but maybe that's just me.

>Wanting to evolve the little cutie.
Why would you do this?
But seriously now, we should hold off on that at least, let her get some training in, some actual battle experience and mature a little before forcing an evolution, also honestly I don't think it wise to use it at all, these pokémon have a history with this shit man, using it on a young critter like her is the kind of shit Abomasnow would not find agreeable.

>>2818661
Are we gonna get any egg moves?

>>2818708
Take your ice stone and fuck right off, please. Dont ruin the cute.

>>2818720
I'll agree with that generally, in that he should build up some battle experience, and could stand to mature quite a bit before we let him evolve. I do think that we should use it eventually though. Using it before he's had time to mature would be bad, I agree, and would be something that Abomasnow (And we) would be against, but evolving is natural for a Pokemon. Provided we give it the time to grow up, I think using it eventually wouldn't be a bad thing. It is damned cute though.

It seems like Vulpix is more than ready to go out on an adventure. She is young and desires to see what’s outside these white cold walls. but her group thinks otherwise, they are still untrusty of humans, and Vulpix is too young to know better…

You tried to convince them of letting her go, if she is so eager to go outside she could just left some day without warning. You’ll do your damn best to keep her safe. Smoochum and even Abomasnow vouch for you, you’ve demonstrated you care about Pokémon’s well-being. She doesn’t even has to fight if she only wants to venture outside.

[Vulpix]:Screw that! I’m definitely fighting! The world needs to prepare for me!

She reminds you a little of someone…

[Ninetales]: Just keep her safe, please. If anything happens to her be assured there would be consequences

The Vulpix group was specially breed as pets, not battlers, even though after the meddling of humans ended they have been slowly returning to their “wilder” state. Still she conserves her softer and regal features. She may be a little hard to raise at first, but she surely can become fearsome in the future. Just like the Ninetales that lead the pack.

Or maybe it would be good to help her mellow out, she may want to bite more than she can chew right now. You know, let her mature a little first


>Talk to Froslass

Percy:[/b Mimikyu, buddy. I know this may sound a little weird, but I think it would be good if you tried to talk with Froslass once more

[Mimikyu]: I’m not sure Master. Females are scary

Percy: I know they can be , but now that everything is more calm, maybe it will turn out different. Even if it is the same Froslass from yesterday a different scenario may change everything!

I'm kind of an old fashioned guy, and prefer the whole "One girl" thing. But in the end that's up to the players and the dice.

You know trying awkwardly to write a romance or even no romance at all, instead of just throwing a new girl every thread ready to gobble on your Pokéballs (terrible, terrible joke)

Even though I think (Most) girls wouldn't be ok with a harem, maybe you could be in an open relationship? or just fool around. Or commit to a girl. Everything is up to the players, and all your actions have consequences

Sure, maybe your first GF wouldn't be the one you end up with, or maybe yes, who knows

You'll met more people yes, (including girls) but not every female on your line of sight is getting ready to jump on your PokéAutistic bones

Approved! Less so the open relationship thing, since that will just make everything awkward, but we can deal with that down the line.

NGL, the idea that we might have to play matchmaker for all of our Pokémon sort of terrifies me. We’re having enough trouble helping Mimikyu, god knows what we’re going to do if the other five we eventually have want to enter relationship’s as well.

>>2818864
Maybe once we expand our social circle a little more we won't have to look far.
Problem with Eli's mons is that most of them are male too, maybe the ratio'll improve once she becomes a trainer?
But I don't really think it''ll be a problem with our current party: Houndour seems to have his goals, he's also the type to retire and either start his own pack or go back to his own for that and Whismur too innocent and pure for that.
Now Vulpix's the wild card, but I also thing she'd rather just see the world before ideas of romance even register for now.

>>2818876
True enough. Hopefully the final two will be equally disinterested.

>>2818469
The two pokes i wanted didnt make it....

>>2818807
I hope this quest goes harem for Mimikyu.

I'll be honest guys, I don't wanna rush going for Eli. We'll have a whole journey to let things happen normally, and Percy is too autistic to willingly go for anything lewd this early on. It's literally thread 3 of the quest lmao

>>2819103
Don’t worry, pretty sure most of us are only planning on hanging out as friends with her, for the foreseeable future. Romantic stuff comes waaaay down the line from now.

Let's keep the waifu shit out for as long as possible. It ruined Pokémon quests before.

>>2818797
Quest is good so far. Tolerating all your common ESL mistakes and formatting errors gets easier, or at least I cringe less hard at it all.
Favorite mon is Mimikyu, but I like the Snorunt's "we're tight now, can we go shank some niggas?" spirit.
Favorite girl is Eli, no contest. I've fapped to enough F Skull Grunt porn to be 100% okay with the journey.
As long as everyone gets character development and gits gud, and we also get some dank PLOT and LORE and in-universe acknowledgement of competitive memes and other /vp/ style shit, then things are okay.

What, like a pokeharem?

>I'll be honest guys, I don't wanna rush going for Eli. We'll have a whole journey to let things happen
That's the general consensus anons have, that stuff will definitely show up on the journey, we're just hanging out and watching a movie right now, that's something friends do, you can't really not socialize much with someone and then suddenly down the line waifu them, gotta sow the seeds in friendship before it can grow into something else, plus our Pokemon are gonna be there too probably, I can totally see totobro looking out for her if Percy was a Chad Thundercock pushing it.

Also Totodile scares the fuck out of me on a slightly related note: their Pokédex entries pretty much say their bite is wicked as fuck and when they chomp down they never let go, they can't let go because of their teeth, so you'd have to wait for them to fall off, but their teeth are strong as steel... sure you should take the games' Pokédex with a grain of salt, but lets not poke the beast by trying to "poke" Eli so soon.

Let's see how things goes for Mimikyu

D100 best of three

30: at least she didn't try to kill him again

50: Make Froslass apologize, (this will raise Mimikyu self confidence a little when dealing with others)

65: They actually hit it off! (Mimikyu will have an easier tie communicating with the opposite gender!)

80+:??? (An unexpectedly smooth and romantic ghost)

Chad Mimikyu that's a master chef, holy shit. What is up with our Pokemon?

>>2820165
Clearly he saw how we dealt with Kali and realized it's not such a big deal after all.

Vulpix is beaming with happiness, boasting to the other Pokémon that you choose to take her over the rest. Houndour is mumbling something about troublesome females

You let Mimikyu enter Froslass chamber alone, assuring your buddy that you will stay close by, in case anything happens.

[Mimikyu]:Wish me luck, Master…

You get as close as possible to listen to them with out being noticed. Mimikyu starts apologizing for yesterday battle, but also chastises Froslass for her sudden attack! She says that she actually feels sorry, she gets a little intense about protecting this place… and she didn’t want to let Mimikyu go. Mimikyu says that he understands the desire to protect someone dear to you, and that she didn’t had to try and freeze him, she only had to ask. He’d and she could enjoy each other company better if he wasn’t frozen.

For some reason the conversation starts to be a little harder to hear, but they are won’t stop chatting. About Mimikyu’s cooking and his friends, about the white room and Froslass group, and some other things you can quite get right

[Mimikyu]:It’s cold so near you…

[Froslass]:Do you dislike it?

[Mimikyu]:No, it’s pleasant, I like it

Things get a little quiet for a while… then you start hearing some strange noises. Oh.
Oooooh.
Then Mimikyu comes out, a little hurriedly, asking if you could give him some time alone with Froslass
Percy: You okay being alone with her?

[Mimikyu]: Yes… very okay. Sorry master, this may take some time

Percy: Ehm, don’t worry Mimikyu, take your time

Then he scurries back off to Froslass little room.
And the noises continue

Whismur asks curiously about what is big-bro Mimikyu doing, he is making weird sounds. Is he fighting again?

>Yeah he is fighting, but just sparring nothing serious haha!
>Give Whismur “the talk”
>Don’t worry about it Whismur, why don’t we go over there, not near here?


(Mimikyu has become way better at dealing with females and romance! Under all those insecurities it may be hiding a "ladies man" you go Mimikyu)

>>2820264
>Give Whismur “the talk”
What better time then now?

>>2820264
>Give Whismur “the talk”
Pokemon mature pretty fast and we have to be responsible.

>>2820264
>Give Whismur “the talk”
I have got to see the train wreck that this is going to turn into.

>>2820264
>>Give Whismur “the talk”
>big-bro Mimikyu
Whismur a cute

>>2820303
Also,
>we try to cook and fail horribly
>Mimikyu ends up a master chef
>we try to partner up with Kali and fail horribly
>Mimikyu ends up a ladies man

>>2820319
Mimikyu just observes what we do and does the opposite.

>>2820264
>>Don’t worry about it Whismur, why don’t we go over there, not near here?

No need to give the talk yet. Still too innocent and pure. But we should at least say they aren't fighting or that something bad is happening to rest her worries.

Once she matures more, we can just have chadmeister Mimikyu have the talk instead of the autist

>>2820319
>When an amorphous black blob that wears a poorly put together Pikachu puppet is better at basic human stuff then you are.
What even is the point?
