The gym leader opens the back door of the gym, it’s decently sized building, much smaller than the gym at North Pass, taking in account the steel-gym was only the three last floors of the building. The inside isn’t very impressive either, a single ample arena with a row of benches for spectators, a metal staircase that leads to what you guess is an office or a break room. The place is dimly lit. More than a gym it looks like a warehouse repurposed for Pokémon battles.

After closing the door as silently as possible a voice calls out the rugged looking man.

[Gym-Assistant]: “Doctor! You are back so soon? I just send like half a dozen to the ruins to search for you!”
[Dr. Henry Ford]: “The runt found me in record-time. I’ll get back there as soon as we finish this”

The assistant goes to turn the lights of the arena and to check your trainer id just to confirm how many badges you have already.

[Dr. Henry Ford]: Alright kid, let’s dance.

The man takes two Pokéball from his belt, he’s ready to rumble.

>Rookie Trainer Percival “Arsonist” Williams Vs. Ground-Gym Leader Dr. Henry Ford!
>3 vs 3
>DOUBLE BATTLE!
>Who are you sending out first?

Mimikyu and Loudred? We could do sound a attacks and not have it hit mimikyu.

Vulpix and Whismur I guess, they’re our best matchups against Ground Type I believe.

Also if prince ends up becoming the yellow king after his dad passes, does that make him the pokemon formerly known as prince?

>>2962394
I guess Loudred and Alolapix? They both know ice moves, and L can tank while Pix double teams and spams ice.

>>2962389
Pix doesn't know Dteam but I think it'll still work. And I guess Mimi as back upp cause wood hammer

>Vulpix and Loudred!

Both of your Pokémon get into the arena. The two girls are more than ready to fight.

[Loudred]: Alright! Let’s have a good fight!

[Vulpix]: Hmph. I can do this by myself, try to not get in my way.

The Gym leader lets out his own pair of Pokemón, a Gligar starts to glide across the arena mocking his opponents, while a Baltoy waits patiently for your team to do their first move.

[Gym-Assistant]: No time limits, no ring outs, the battle ends when the opposing Pokémon can’t fight anymore or when a trainer concedes. Begin!

>Vulpix focuses on evading any incoming attacks and prepares to attack with "Icy Wind"

>Loudred braces herself to weather every hit she takes and prepares to attack Baltoy with an Ice Beam.

The Gligar starts gliding in circles around your Pokémon while he slowly closes in, trying to avoid any hit. He seems to be holding something in a bag, "Bright Powder" which, when moved in the right angles reflects light directly into the eyes of your Pokémon messing with their vision.

Meanwhile Baltoy seems to hold a Figy Berry, which would restore around half it's health if he found himself in a heavily damaged state.

Gligar tries to start a Sandstorm, while Baltoy is concentrating his Psychic powers to hurl the boulders laying around the battlegrounds to Vulpix

Gligar revs up a "sandstorm" that covers all of the arena, he seems to disappear while gliding around the sand. Gligar's Ability "Sand Veil" makes him harder to detect and hit!

>Vulpix: Partial pass!

Baltoy uses "Rock Tomb" throwing various heavy rocks to Vulpix. As they rain down in the arena Vulpix can only evade the without getting any chance to attack herself.

>Loudred: CRIT FAIL

While Loudred charges her Ice Beam trying to hit the easy target that is Baltoy, the Gym leader notices just in time and orders Baltoy to switch targets since he isn't hitting Vulpix anyway. The Baltoy launches a particularly big barrage of rocks towards Loudred who fails to brace herself in time. Making her tumble before she gets the chance to fire her attack. The terrain surrounding her is filled with rocks difficulting her movements

Loudred prepares to hit Baltoy with an Ice Beam, meanwhile Vulpix keeps light on her feet constantly moving, ready to counter with Icy Wind.

Baltoy continues to throw rock at your team with "Rock Tomb" while filling the battlegrounds with debris. Meanwhile, Gligar keeps moving around the sandstorm evading your sight.

>Vulpix: Successful pass!

Avoiding the falling rocks Vulpix manages to use Icy Wind, the frosty ice currents move fast inside the sandstorm hitting Baltoy squarely, and even though you didn't see him you could hear Gligar complain from the pain. It's super effective!

>Loudred CRIT

Loudred follows up putting her all into the Ice Beam. It's bigger than before, bigger than her humongous mouth and it envelops Baltoy's body completely. Baltoy is "Frozen!" He seems to be nearing a critical state but because he's currently covered in ice he can't eat his berry. It's super effective!

[Dr. Henry Ford]: Sky Uppercut!

You can't tell where it came from but the Gligar swoops by Loudred feet and rises up again delivering a nasty punch before hiding into the sand once again. "It's super effective."

>The sandstorm damages your team!

Percy: Vulpix! Focus on getting rid of Gligar! Loudred finish Baltoy!

[Vulpix]: On it! This damn sand! I can’t see anything!

Vulpix starts concentrating to catch Gligar, turning her head around all of the arena, she can’t find him so she turns her attention to Loudred since that’s where he surely will attack. Loudred prepares to finish Baltoy with an Ice Beam, her target is impossible to miss.
Just as she’s about to fire the beam Gligar appears again trying to use “Sky Uppercut” once again. But Vulpix manages to see him just in time, but the Bright Powder that Gligar is holding reflects the light from the “Ice Beam” directly into Vulpix eyes, making her miss when she fires her “Ice Shard” an instead of hitting the flying/ground type she hits her teammate! The damages isn’t to grave but it lets Gligar land his attack without a problem! Loudred manages to fire her Ice Beam and hit the Baltoy knocking him out, but the ice shard, the Super Effective attack and the constant damage from the Sandstorm knocks her out!

The gym leader returns Baltoy to his ball and prepares to let his last mon out.

While you return Loudred to her ball so she can get some rest Mimikyu jumps into the fray, ready to throw down. He will be starting by using Double Team to raise his evasiveness.

Meanwhile Vulpix aims to take down Gligar with Icy wind! Focusing on landing the attack!

Gligar remains hidden in the sand cackling at Vulpix and belittling her for taking her battle partner down herself. He wants to get on her nerves.

The Gym Leader lets out of his Pokéball a Sandslash who seems more than eager to go!

>Vulpix and Mimikyu, Successful passes!

The Gym Leader shouts, he's gonna use an item. A Super Potion for his Gligar before the battle resumes.

>Gligar is at full health!

Shortly after, Vulpix unleashes her "Icy Wind" heavily damaging him as well as Sandslash who wanted to close in to deliver some damage to Vulpix. Meanwhile Mimikyu starts moving around the battlegrounds in order to create various afterimages of the little ghost.

Since Vulpix was focused on attacking she's open to attacks herself, Sandslash takes advantage of this to use "Rock Tomb" hurling stones to Vulpix frail body.
>It's super effective!
The rocks and debris surround Vulpix and fill a good chunk of the battlefield thanks to Baltoy's previous barrage of attack, making evasive maneuvers much harder.

>The sandstorm hits your mons!
>Mimikyu is barely damaged!

Both of your Pokémon focus on attacking, wanting to end this as soon as possible. Vulpix readies another Icy wind while Mimikyu aims to strike at Sandlslash,

Gligar flies over Mimikyu, trying focusing on evading Vulpix move and trying to reduce Mimikyu's physical defenses with a "Screech" Meanwhile, Sandslash aims to hit both of your team with an Earthquake, the "Soft Sand" he's holding should boost his attack.

>Vulpix: CRIT FAIL

>Mimikyu: Successful pass!

Mimikyu prepares to take Sandslash out, his appendage extends as his little wooden club exudes a strange greenish miasma, it aims directly to Sandslash! The gym-leader notices that Mimikyu is too fast and Sandslash has no chance of delivering his attack so he instructs Gligar to instead focus on Vulpix.
Percy: Vulpix! Focus on getting rid of Gligar! Loudred finish Baltoy!

[Gligar]: Try to not hit your friend this time! Kekekeke!

[Vulpix]: Shut up! That was a mistake!

[Gligar]: You being here is a mistake! Stick to contests snowcone! Kekekeke!

[Vulpix]: Hey, I want to do both!

Vulpix is caught of guard, the Gligar uses his “Bright Powder” To blind Vulpix once again before finishing her off with a “Sky Uppercut”.

Meanwhile, Mimikyu’s Wood hammer hits Sandlash fully,sending him to the ground before he could do his “Earthquake”.
>It’s super effective!
The heavy attack was enough to knock him down for good, but it caused some serious recoil damage to Mimikyu.

>The sandstorm hits Mimikyu!
>Finally the sandstorm dies out…

While you use one of the Max Revives you have on Vulpix the battle continues as you aren't healing any mon currently battling. Mimikyu tries to use Shadow Sneak to get some damage in!

Gligar seems to be aiming at evading, trying to land somewhere outside Mimikyu's range, but our friend is fast!

You are about to use the Max Revive you got from your trade with Dick, but Mimikyu tells you in sign language using one of his appendages.

[Mimikyu]: That won’t be necessary Master.

His other appendage starts traveling trough the ground way too fast, mimicking his Shadow. You can see Gligar and the Gym leader relax a little, he feels confident in his mon defenses, thinking he could “tank” the Shadow Sneak and land to use “Roost” but Mimikyu isn’t using Shadow Sneak.
Just like in the battle against the steel Gym Leader, his claw rises from the ground and enlarges slashing at the Gligar.

Before he goes, you tell the archeologist about the hole that leads to the ruins and the Tyranitar.

[Dr. Henry Ford]:You better not be pulling my leg here kid!

Before you can reaffirm him you are telling the truth he just goes running towards the ruins.

You answer the call, you think it’s a local number?

[???]: Good afternoon, is this Percival Williams number?

Percy: Eh, yes. This is the number of Percival Williams. Which is me. Because it’s my phone.

[Officer Miller]: Right. Mr. Williams, this is Officer Miller of Ibarra Village Police Department. To request you to come down at the station to answer some questions.

Shit, it’s the fuzz. You haven’t done anything illegal. Right? Wait, it’s because of those +18 Poké-Cosplay websites? FUCK, you thought those warnings didn’t mean anything! Shit that was only for research! Well, mostly for research! ...Partly for research?

Percy: Wh-What kind of questions?

[Officer Miller]: Don’t be nervous Mr. Williams, it’s just some routine questions, also so you can pick up your ehm, “associate”. I expect you to be familiar with the name “Elizabeth Matthews”

Percy:Who?

[Officer Miller]: I believe she is more commonly known as “Eli”

Percy:Oh yeah! We are traveling partners! And friends! Yep, friends! Human friends! Wait, is she in jail?!

[Officer Miller]:We only detained her for a couple hours, she and another trainer were causing some ruckus at a local establishment. Well Mr. Williams, let me send you the address of the station and I’ll meet you there as soon as possible. Good afternoon.


Crap, you hope Eli didn’t got involved in anything serious. Oh, there’s also some new messages!

[Gareth]: Hey little man! Guess what! I won some extra cash, so I was planning to make it up to you and Eli for saving my ass back in the cave. Lydia recommended me this place near the market, they serve some killer tacos.

[Gareth]:Hey man, should I give Cheetos to Bug-man as a treat or that’s a no-go? He seems to like them, but I’m not sure if that’s the kind of thing I should fed mons, and Hitmon4chan isn’t really helpful.

[Gareth]:Oh, and there some shady guys walking around here, I think I’m being followed? Well, let me know if you are up for some tacos! Eli said yes!

That message was a couple of hours ago.

Dick: Rematch, today, decide an hour.

What should you do first?

I'd like to make sure Gareth didn't get got, but we really don't know where he is, so that might take forever - assuming he hasn't already gotten into trouble.

Also, knowing Eli's full name is gonna make it so easy to annoy her.

>>2963315
Being a Gym-Leader is a strange job. They get plenty of dosh from the government, but most of that goes to maintaining the Gym and paying the trainers who beat them.

Even maintaining a simple almost run-down installation like the Gym at Ibarra Village costs most of the money the government pays him.

They make around as much as an average college professor which is a respectable quantity.

But most Gym aren't only gyms, and they have means to get more money on the side. Dr. Henry can barely sustain himself as most of his money goes to fund his research, while the water gym leader is obscenely rich.

A quick rundown!

>Steel Gym: It's also an office building for the Blackstone Co, and helps train the mons used by the company

>Ground Gym: Even though the Gym Leader was opposed to it, they made the ruins an open space to the public to attract more tourism.

>Grass Gym: Also a nature reserve/ Safari-zone for those who beat it

>Fairy Gym: Contest hall, the leader is an idol who makes an spectacle of some of her matches. She also has a music career.

>Water Gym: Resort, various battles are televised in a showy manner, the gym leader got his own tv program where he showcases the best battles, also trainer-drama

>Dark Gym: Is a night-club. If it's not brimming with people it's because it's closed.

>Fighting Gym: It's a gym, to workout. For Pokémon and Human. Also many people come to watch the matches in the ring. The Lucha-libre theme it has is quite popular.

>Dragon Gym: It's the only one that's fully dedicated to being a Gym.Thinks that the rest of them are a mockery to battling

Also, last post of the night. Will return saturday, hopefully at 2:00 pm MDT

>>2963339
The college professor level pay, is the money they are left with after taking care of the gym expenses.

We should give White Veil Labs a visit, after the police station.

>>2963318
We probably should go help Gareth someone probably wants wimpod back or someone's thinking he's a revolutionary

>>2963339
We really should go to the water Pokemon gym and City by ourselves...

>>2963478
I wonder if Gareth would be roped in to the revolution thinking he's get a girl. After the girl he's want dump him or friend zone him.
Just feels like a Gareth thing.

>>2963482
Kinda something this
Wimpod- rare alolan pokemon
Wasn't affected by the Poke uprising because he was "lucky"

>>2963328
Actually, after having a good think about it (and doing some metagaming) Med let it slip that those Dodrio races were totally fixed. That means that Gareth wasn't supposed to win, and that probably means he unknowingly pissed off some organized crime types.

Still think going to the police station is the best course of action - that way at least Eli is around for whatever we're doing next - but it's something to consider.

>>2963492
that + people might think hes a revolutionaire since Aleida was the reason for him winning technically

>We can't afford to lose. One loss and your gym career is over.
What? Isn't that for the last gym only?
IIRC you can lose and try again up until those Dragon cunts just give you one chance in their gym, lose to them and you can't make champ or go pro, meaning all that time with the previous gyms is wasted, rubbing more salt in the wound.
It's why Eli's dad was so salty about it when he talked about his experience.
And it's why Percy & Co aren't stressed out about challenging the current gyms. Right?

Yo Medi, can you clarify?
Do we only have one chance to win in every gym or is that only true for the dragon gym?

Yeah no, we aren't Kali with her rich deep pockets or connections to a shady corporation that allows her to use rare candies like treats.
I mean, are Rare Candies even sold in stores? As far as I can remember they're of questionable legality too.
This is endgame stuff here for when our main team is high level and evolved.
Remember, our choices have consequences: even just letting pokemon evolve naturally will make it harder for them to learn certain moves which is why Houdour doesn't want to evolve yet.
I'd rather hold on to the stuff at least until we get more badges under our belt

That's correct, only the Dragon Gym bans you from challenging it again after one try.

You can get banned from other gyms, but that's up to the other Gym Leaders criteria.

>>2963739
They are not sold in normal stores, they are a potent high-grade medicine that's only scarcely sold or rewarded to Advanced and Pro trainers. It's mainly produced by white veil labs, as most pharmaceuticals in Aztlan are.

The stakes are raised.

>only scarcely sold or rewarded to Advanced and Pro trainers.
In other words, they're pretty rare and considering the scarcity on the market, beyond our means if we ever found someone selling them, but the smarter thing for them to do would be auctioning it which would be even more expensive for ol' Percy
So the ones we have now will be the only ones we'll see in a long ass time so we better not waste them when it's still easy to get gains.

You decide to text Gareth, just to make sure he's alright.


Percy: (Online, To Gareth) Well Wimpods can eat about anything so it shouldn’t be bad for him, but refrain from giving them to Sand-Rider. Hey, can you send me a message as soon as possible?

That should do it, now you direct yourself to the Police station, it’s near the capture and defense post so you already know your way. More or less.

It’s a small building, you guess there’s not much need for a police force around here. The receptionist greets you and after confirming who you are directs you to Miller´s office.

The stern looking man was already waiting for you, he says this shouldn’t take long. There’s a plate full of mini-donuts at the center, the man asks if you would like some coffee, you are kind of nervous, so you refuse. Prince grabs your attention and points to the donuts, he would like some. You hand him a couple.

The officer explains to you that Eli got in a fight with a bounty hunter inside the saloon. The fight escalated to a Pokémon battle, thankfully they didn’t wreck the place and nobody is pressing charges.

[Officer Miller]: How long have you and Miss. Matthews known each other?

Percy: A little longer than a week already.
[Officer Miller]: You are recent acquaintances, but she’s travelling with you. Is Eli involved with any shady groups or individuals, people who seem up to no good? How would you describe her group of friends?

Percy: I don’t think she is involved with any of that stuff. Back at North Pass she didn’t seem to hang around anyone besides me and her team? She just likes the punkish aesthetic, I guess, but she’s no criminal. (You think, at least)

[Officer Miller]: She doesn’t have other acquaintances besides you? That seems a little hard to believe

Percy:Well, there’s another guy accompanying us, Gareth, but he’s harmless. And she seems to get along Kali, the granddaughter of C.G Orizaba. And she trained under my grandfather, but outside of that. I really haven’t seen her with anyone else besides her mons.

Percy:And it’s not that unbelievable to have Pokémon as your only friends. Before meeting her I didn’t have any human friends! (You state, proudly at your accomplishments regarding human interactions)

[Officer Miller]: Alright. One last question. Has she ever mentioned, or are you familiar with an individual known as “The Arsonist”? And if so, what can you tell me about it?

>You know nothing (lie, requires roll)
>Yes! That’s me! I’m the Arsonist!
>Oh, yes, I have heard that name before, but we’ve never met him. Just rumors (Play-dumb, requires roll)
>Other/ write-in

This sure was easy glad there's no real problems here.

>>2964048
>>Other/ write-in
"This seems out of left field, but okay, the arsonist is just a stupid rumor about me that's gotten way out of hand, all because of a fumble during the tournament. I assure you no pokemon was really badly hurt and I've even personally apologized to one of the girls when we met by chance. Why?"

If we were playing any other type of character, this would be the thing to say. Unfortunately we are Percy. The guy who puts an emoji, then says he put it to make it less awkward, then asks if it worked.

He is not socially aware enough to say something like this and clear up a misunderstanding this easily.

I mean, being socially aware doesn't really play into this, you can lack social awareness but that doesn't mean you lack a sense of knowing you might get yourself fucked, we joke about it but Percy isn't an autist, just really weird.
Percy's in the middle of a precinct getting interrogated by a cop and the interrogation just shifted to him personally.
He wouldn't put it so eloquently though, probably sweat bullets and stutter a lot and ironically look really suspicious while trying to clear his name

>>2964154

>Suspicions are cleared!
>98, that’s pretty good.

Elekid gets up on your lap to get a better reach of the donuts. He smiles innocently to the officer while munching on the treats, is he trying to make you look better? Well, it’s time to clear everything up, or this rumor could become something troublesome.
Just calm yourself down, think about Pokémon. You swallow your nervousness and answer.

Percy: I-I-I, f-feel (Don’t stutter, take a deep breathe. You don’t want to cause more trouble to your mons)

Percy:I should explain some things. This “Arsonist” deal is blown out of proportion.

Percy: It was just a beginner mistake, we were getting too excited at the tournament and went a little too hard with a flamethrower. But no Pokémon was harmed badly! We and Houndour even apologized personally to two of them!

The officer takes a good look at you and your mons, specially Houndour who watches him without much interest.

[Officer Miller]: I believe you son. You don’t seem to match the description of the rumors, and I can see how your actions could add more fuel to the fire, but, there not mere stories.

The officer shows you a picture, a house is set ablaze. A young man walks away from it, in his side is a Houndour. The picture is blurry but he seems to be laughing. He looks slightly similar to you.
[Officer Miller]: This picture was presumably taken this last Sunday, lately, it’s been said that the young man in the picture is the same one of the rumors. The same day, there was reports of an “arson” incident back at Silverpoint city.

[Officer Miller]: Be careful kid, that name could attract the wrong kind of attention. Hope this whole thing gets cleared up soon.

After the interrogation the officer walks you towards the holding cells. You can see a pair of girls bickering.

Eli:Yo, this whole thing is your fault! I have stuff to do! I can’t be locked up in a stinking cell all day!

[Bounty-Hunter]: Shut up, you were the one that wanted to “Throw down”, you punk-poser, hair-dyeing attention seeker.

Eli: Hey! That’s my natural color!

[Bounty-Hunter]: Natural my ass, it’s noxious. It looks like chewed up bubblegum.

Eli:Now you are making it personal! We’ll finish this once we get out!

[Bounty-Hunter]: You made it personal when you caught that Hippowdon!

Eli:I didn’t see your name on it!

[Bounty-Hunter]: It had it! I took that bounty three days before you caught it! You can just go around stealing a bounty hunters’ prey! You just stumbled upon it and were lucky enough to somehow capture it without dying!

Eli: It’s not luck, I’m just too good. Not like some dumb bounty hunter that can’t even find a stupidly massive Hippo even after searching for her for three days.

[Bounty-Hunter]:We all know the Arsonist did the real job, you are just his groupie, a lackey at best.

Eli:Fuck you! I’m nobody’s lackey!

[Bounty-Hunter]:So, a groupie then?

Eli:That’s it!

They don’t seem to notice you.

[Police Officer]: Huh, you are here to pick up your friend right? Who was it?

Percy: ELIZABETH MATTHEWS , I CAME

Both girls stop their shouting match to look at you for a second. Eli grins while the Bounty-hunter just looks confused.

Percy: FOR YOU!

[Bounty-Hunter]: That's a way to phrase it.

Eli: Dude! Don’t call me that! Now she knows!

[Bounty-Hunter]: Who’s this guy?

Percy: Elizabeth! How could this happen! A life behind bars in no place for a trainer! What would little Avenger say? (You say in an over the top melodramatic manner)

Eli: Hehe, cut it out weirdo, it’s not my first time being detained. And you took your sweet time getting here!

Percy: Sorry, had to catch up. Don’t want my “lackey” to leave me behind.

Eli: Ohoho, we both know you are the “groupie” of the two. But we could have a battle to settle it, just to show you who’s boss.

[Bounty-Hunter]: Wait, this guy is “your Arsonist”?

Percy: Hehehe, let’s just say you should watch out for cheap imitations. Alright, let’s go Elizabeth!

Eli:About damn time! And stop calling me that!

The officer let’s Eli out of the holding cell, she gives one last “fuck-you” to the bounty hunter before leaving. The girl in the cell keeps staring at you. You also tell officer Miller about Gareth showing him his last message and a photo of him. He tells you he will send some of his men to look around for him.

After that, you and Eli make way to Pokémon center to heal up your mons. Kadabra tries to use his telepathy to find where Gareth is while Houndour tries to sniff his particular scent around.

>>2966651

While you go heal up your team Houndour and Kadabra try to find Gareth. The Pokémon center seems pretty barren, so it doesn’t take long.
>Your team is back at full health!
You let Loudred and Vulpix out of their balls, the ice type seems pretty confused

[Vulpix]: What happened? We lost?

[Mimikyu]: Master managed to win, despite our shortcomings.

[Vulpix]: So you finished the battle by yourself, I couldn’t even defeat one

[Vulpix]: That’s not fair! It was my time to shine! I want a rematch!

[Loudred]: Calm down sis, we beat them! I would had liked to fight a little longer though…

[Vulpix]: Dammit! You need to make me stronger fast Trainer! Just give me that damn stone already!

Percy: I don’t think it’s time for that Vulpix, we need to do some more training.

[Vulpix]: Hmph


Houndour keen sense of smell helps Kadabra narrow down the possible locations where Gareth could be found. After a couple of minutes, he locates his thoughts, seems like he’s being held at a closed location near the edge of town, he can feel fear in his mind. There are 3 people and a Pokémon besides Gareth. Kadabra also says that he can sense a couple of officers heading out to that location.

Gareth is a pretty lucky guy, you are sure he can make it out of this predicament without your help. Better leave it to the professionals.

Eli: Sooo, not to be a mood-killer, but why are we ogling old, dead shit today? Didn’t you break your arm doing it?


Percy: That was an accident that won’t happen again. And It isn’t just that! Ruins are filled with mysteries and adventure! Who knows what we can find inside! The ancient history of forgotten civilizations, rare Pokémon hiding in the settlements, old treasures just waiting to be discovered!

Eli:Alright nerd, you got met at the treasure part, just tell me the way! Just stay behind me, you can’t battle with two broken arms

You and her talk about your gym bouts while get to the ruins. You tell her about Loudred and Vulpix fights and how the Baltoy and the Sandlash filled the place with rocks while Gligar evaded attacks, and how Mimikyu defeated two of the mons without taking any real hits.

Percy: Yeah, I may have gotten a little too cocky with Loudred and Vulpix, but Mimikyu took them out without much problem!

Eli: Nice going little chef, (she high-fives Mimikyu’s appendage coming out from your backpack). And yeah, he tried to pull the same stunt with me! But, I had Tremor digging some tunnels to get a CRUNCH in that Baltoy face! And Avenger just filled the place with poisonous gas! We baited his Sandlash in using the underground tunnels and then BOOM, Earth Power Motherfucker! Used Embargo to nullify that annoying bright powder and provoked that flying bastard to hit him hard with Ice Fang! The whole thing was a little rough for Avenger but overall, it was a piece of cake! (She sounds really excited while narrating his battle, making sound effects with this big grin on her face)

Eli:Honestly , the hardest part was waiting for that guy to arrive!

Percy: Hey, sorry to interrupt you but, this has been in my mind for a while.

Eli:What’s wrong? (she seems genuinely concerned)

Percy: So... you DON'T dye your hair?

Eli:Dude, you speak Pokémonese and have a talking Elekid, but my hair being natural is where you draw the line?

Percy:Ehh…..

Eli:No dude! it’s natural, from my… mother side. What’s so weird about it? I mean, do you?

Percy:It’s just kind of unusual, bright pink? And why would I dye my hair?

Eli: Cuz, it’s greenish? I dunno. Whatever, my hair looks great.

Eli:….Right?

Percy: You probably shouldn’t listen to me, I honestly have no idea of what I’m doing in the looks area.

Eli: Well, at least you are honest. I mean that thing you were wearing at the party, holy shit…

Before the girl can finish, you ruffle her hair a little while smiling. She seems surprised. Blushing slightly before adjusting her beanie hurriedly.

Percy: But for what it's worth, I wouldn't change a thing of you

Eli:Yo! What does that mean?

Percy: I dunno, I’m acting on impulse here. Well let’s do some archeology!

You and Eli go trough the secret passage the Gym Leader showed you, going down a long flight of stairs. The girl and you illuminate the way with your flashbacks. Old crumbling walls, and various distant sounds hide in the darkness. Trough the cracks of the apparent roof some light shines. There’s an ample corridor that splits in various way, and you have no idea what the different paths will lead you too. Eli is keeping her eyes peeled for any treasure she can find.
Where should you go?

You decide to check out the sounds of Pokémon duking it out. A little deeper into the ruins, there’s a room that seems to be occupied by various mons. You and peek inside to see what’s going on. Three Pokémon are battling one another. An Aron, a Sableye and a Honedge.. They seem to be fighting to see who keeps the room.
The Sableye seems to be holding a bag full of things that he guards zealously while avoiding the other two attacks. Honedge fights with reckless abandon, saying that this is his home now and that he doesn’t want to return to the lower levels. Finally Aron seems to weather all of their attacks barely moving while retaliating, he seems pretty sturdy and hard headed.
Eli seems interested in catching one the Aron or the Honedge. What should you Percival Williams do?

If that fails then

By the way should we try and get a new buddy? I'm all for Sableye, those little dudes always looked really cool to me

>>2967133
>Try to stop their fighting! Let’s try dialogue!
I really like both Honedge and Aron, but I'm gonna restrain myself.

>>2967133
>Try to stop their fighting! Let’s try dialogue!

Let's not catch any of them. We're pretty good on members, at the moment. And we've already got a ghost anyways. Eli should definitely catch the Aron, though.

>>2967133
>>Try to stop their fighting! Let’s try dialogue!
>Honedge

I would like to get Honedge, since he doesn't seem to really have a home, than this room. And the lower level must be horrible that he fights with reckless abandon. Just think he's most likely to leave with us if asked. Or I'm trying to find something that isn't there.

Percy: We should stop them, maybe they can talk this out?

Eli: Alright! How we doing this? I can take on the Aron and Shiny eyes and you go for the sword...

Percy:With the power of our words!

Percy just jumps straight into the room, right into battle. Because, he’s Percy.

Time to roll some dices! Best of three!

Percy: Hey guys! There’s no need to fight it out, I’m sure we can find a solution if we just talk, these ruins are big enough for the three of you!

The Sableye and the Aron seem to consider your words for a moment, backing down from the fight. Honedge is a completely different story, he goes for your head.

>Rolling for Mimikyu, his DC is 60 to protect you. 55 to keep his disguise up.

Mimikyu moves you out of the way and slaps Honedge, he doesn't do any real damage but he stops him from giving you a serious concussion.

Percy: Alright, that didn’t work. Time for plan B! Houndour, Loudred, Mimikyu, get ready!
The trio of mons, your first teammates jump to battle. The opposing wild mons get ready to fight, they aren’t coordinated but they would do their damn best to finish you.

Eli: What happened to pacifism?!

Percy: Negotiations fell through, there’s only war now!

Eli:At least let me get some of the action!

Percy:Sorry Eli. We need those gains.

>Attack Honedge with Flamethrower

Mimikyu gets ready to evade anything that's thrown to him and prepares to retaliate with Shadow Claw. Honedge shifts his attention to him since he is the one protecting you and tries to engage him using Shadow Sneak to compensate for his lack of speed!

DC:6

Houndour is putting his all on his attack. your team is focused on bringing down the Honedge as fast as possible! He readies his flamethrower to burn the steel/ghost type.

DC: 4

Various rocks float over the Aron's head, he jumps into the air to smash them with his head and propel them at Houndour, he's using rock slide!

Loudred tries to hit Aron with a Hammer Arm to cause as much damage as possible. Your team has advantage in terms of raw power so she goes for an offensive approach!

But before that, the Sableye prepares a "Confuse Ray" to hit the unsuspecting Loudred while he hides in the shadows of the room. His speed is superior to Loudred so the attack hits before she gets a chance to attack Aron.

Rolling for Loudred confusion.

>Mimikyu, succesful pass!
>Houndour, Partial pass
>Loudred, CRIT FAIL.

Honedge uses Shadow Sneak, the nature of the move compensates his lack of speed and attacks first! Mimikyu tries to evade but Honedge's Shadow won't stop following. His ability "No guard" assures he hits his opponent, Mimikyu realizes he has no chance to get away and decides to tank the hit with his disguise while retaliating with shadow claw. Both attacks connect! Both are super effective! Mimikyu takes no damage but his disguise is busted, The Shadow claw took a good chunk of Honedge health.

Houndour tries to finish him off using his Flamethrower, Mimikyu gets out of the way for the flames to envelop the Ghost/Steel type, it damages Honedge even further almost finishing him off but Houndour's attack is interrupted by Aron's Rock Slide! The attack hits hard, it's super effective, Houndour seems down to half his health.

Loudred tries to deliver a Hammer Arm to Aron, but her confused state makes her wobbly and imprecise, she misses Aron entirely and instead strikes the ground with tremendous force, she makes a hole in the stone floor and it seems Loudred got her arm stuck.


>Houndour, is at almost half his health. Loudred, confused and stuck to the ground. Mimikyu is alright but his disguise is broken

Percy: Hey! Are you going to catch that Honedge? Cause it’s your chance!


Eli: Well, if you are going to get all the fun, might as well get a mon.

Eli throws her Pokéball to the Honedge, it hits him and captures him! While the ball tilts from one side to another, your mons prepare to finish the other two.

Mimikyu focuses on hitting Sableye with Shadow Claw, the Sableye notices this and uses Confuse Ray before Mimikyu hits him. The confuse ray moves way faster than usual! It’s a priority move? This Sableye probably has “Prankster”.
DC: 7

Houndour prepares to evade Aron incoming barrage of rocks and hit him with a flamethrower, he has the speed advantage, so this shouldn’t be hard!
DC: 5


Loudred tries to get herself out of the ground to keep fighting, she’s still confused making the task a tad more difficult.
Rolling for loudred’s confusion
1:Hurts herself
2:Keeps being confused
3:Snaps out of it.

>Both Mons, Successful pass!

Houndour manages to get out of the way of the falling rocks and lands a Flamethrower while maintaining some distance, the attack is enough to leave him a little below half his health, another attack like that could finish him.

Sableye manages to confuse Mimikyu, but your mon has already launched his attack, his appendage slash with ferocity at Sableye's body before he gets a chance to dodge. The attack strong enough to take a third of his health!

The Pokéball Eli threw finally stops moving, Honedge has been captured!

Now it's two against three.

Sableye notices this and has no intention of staying here, he takes the bag he was protecting and makes a break to escape through the door.

Aron starts running into a wal, planning to smash his head against it and cause a bigger Rock Slide.
What do?

>>2969056

We really can though. We've already got a Ghost and a Dark type. What we ought to focus on, is grabbing Sableye's swag.

PFFFF.
He's valuable so we should catch him anyways, we could trade him or keep him in the box for special occasions. Not really what a pokewhisperer would do but I don't fuckin care.
>>2969124
The Aron is more dangerous than the Sableye, I'd rather keep Houndour healthy.

Mimikyu moves as fast as he cans to get between Sableye and the wall, having the ceiling fall down unto your mons would probably be really bad. But his confused state may make it hard for him to get a hit on the steel type.

Rolling for Mimikyu’s confusion
1:Misses and hurts himself
2:Keeps being confused but attacks! DC: 6
3:Snaps out of it, easy target. DC:4

Houndour runs to stop Sableye from running away, he is faster than the ghost/dark mon, but it seems Sableye has an escape route ready near the entrance. Who'll get there first?

DC: 6

Loudred is still confused but she tries her best to get on her feet and strike Aron down with a Hammer Arm in case Mimikyu misses.
