After a couple of hectic days at Lacrimosa Bay and some well deserved time to unwind, Percy finally challenges the Water Gym in hopes of getting his third badge and getting some

-------------------------------------------
23 days left before the fall of Adage Village.
Monday. 9:00 pm, 14th day of your Journey.

Vulpix, still intoxicated by the praise of the “Encore” keeps firing “Icy Wind” at the Dewott, each cold gust of air freezing the water type, making his muscles ache and his movements slower and duller. Both attacks are CRITICAL HITS, Dewott frantically tries to strike Vulpix with his scalshops but your Pokémon effortlessly evades her opponent’s attempts at retaliation, dancing around him playfully as she taunts him even though another

Since you can’t command Vulpix while she’s under the influence of “Encore” you use this moment to ask Maximillian what he is doing here at Lacrimosa bay with a squad of heavily armed Blackstone goons. He takes a gander at the shivering Dewott whose about to lose consciouses then sighs and answers in a bored tone.

“We are on an important assignment, since they can’t afford to fuck this up they sent me here to make sure everything goes smoothly”
“Afterall, I’m technically a high ranked Blackstone executive, nepotism and all that”
“We are just tying some loose ends, and word of advice you should get out of Lacrimosa Bay before the snowstorm hits”

You were hoping they were only here for the documents you already stole but it seems there’s another reason for their presence. What could be so important to warrant them sending an armed squad of trainers, an Elite 4, and this asshole? As you ponder for a moment the Dewott you were battling falls unconscious, defeated by your mon.

>BATTLE END!
>VULPIX’S VICTORY!
>VULPIX GAINED TONS OF BATTLE EXPERIENCE
>CRITS +20
>VULPIX IS A HIT WITH THE JUDGES +10
> Stylish Pokémon bonus: +5

With a total of 110 points, you have assured yourself a chance to have a stellar match with the Gym Leader that will be televised this will boost your popularity as a trainer quite a lot and if you play your cards right you may get some really good sponsorships offers and may help your chances of getting invited to the Pokémon League.

Vulpix who’s just regaining her senses gleefully scurries over you, bouncing around happily trying to get your attention with excited yapping.

[Vulpix]: Did you see that Trainer? Aren’t I the best? Come on, tell me what you think!

Max returns Dewott to his Pokéball and returns him to his trainer, the young man then approaches you and your team seemingly focused on Vulpix, he crouches down and examines her thoroughly. She seems to have caught his interest.

[Max]: Seems like you got a real diamond in the rough here, she’s the weak link in your team but she could do so much more on the right hands.

[Max]: Would you be interested in a trade? I can get you anything, Hidden abilities, shinies, mons with egg moves, you name it.

>Ignore him completely.
>Politely refuse, you wouldn’t trade Vulpix for the world.

[Vulpix]: Huh? What was that Trainer? “Trading?”

Vulpix who was too excited to put much attention to Maximillian's words asks a bit confused and worried after overhearing the words “Trading” her excitement calming a little. But you wouldn’t even humor the idea of doing so. You lift her and carry her in one arm proud of her victory. You decide to decline Max’s offer, even if he’s an ass there’s no need to be rude without provocation.

[Percy]: Sorry, we are on this journey together, I wouldn’t trade her for anything.

After hearing you Vulpix is back to her cheery self from before, climbing on top of you and resting comfortably on your shoulder.

>Vulpix seems a bit closer to you.

Maximillian seems surprised at your answer.

[Max]: Seems like you actually know what you are doing, unlike those retards you surround yourself with.

[Max]: Well this was entertaining at least. I gave Gareth some tickets for some Professional Pokémon battling in High Alva city in a couple of days, if you want to see what a REAL Pokémon battle looks like, drop by.

Without saying anything else Maximillian Blackstone leaves the premise, that was a surprisingly civil interaction with him. As you stand there baffled at what just transpired the Gym Leader calls you out.

[Gym Leader]: That was pretty solid. I hope you are ready for our match, but first, you got an interview before we get to the good stuff.

[Gym Leader]: Wait, you are that Arsonist kid aren’t you? Well one of the two since the other one was arrested

You try to explain the whole Arsonist deal as best you can, clarifying that you only got associated with the moniker because of an unfortunate accident during a rookie tournament and coincidentally having a Houndour. You truly have never intentionally set anything or anyone on fire.

[Gym Leader]: Nah, wait we can use this

The Water Type Gym Leader suggests going with the Arsonist thing, admit you were a copycat or just inspired by him, she says it’s credible since you look like the type of to get bullied which is a bit hurtful but true. Then you can act as if you turned a new leaf after going through her Gym. An uplifting motivational story, also a lie. But if things go right she might be able to secure you a sponsorship with the Dolorosa chain of hotels and the Gym, that’s some good money and securing a nice place to stay in most parts of the Aztlan region.

[Gym Leader]: Wouldn’t it be simpler to just clarify I was never the Arsonist and that everything was just a mistake.

[Gym Leader]: Even if you were to tell everyone that the whole Arsonist thing was a mistake, they already got you pegged as one of those “Arsonist Wannabes”

[Gym Leader]: People believe anything they hear, but it’s hard to make em change their mind once they are set on something.


[Gym Leader]: Well, I gotta get ready for this thing so I’ll leave it to you.

The Gym Leader exists the maze and leaves to get ready for your bout, you go get Houndour and a gym worker directs you to the room where the interview will take place.

You are sitting in a recording studio surrounded by your team, Houndour and Loudred are by your side with Prince sitting comfortably over Loudred’s head, Vulpix is hogging your lap, she seems in a great mood after winning that battle.

The lights from the reflectors are blinding and having various cameramen so focused on you makes you a bit uncomfortable, the interviewer waits for you to start the interview, you would be a complete mess if it weren’t for Daniel’s training on how to deal with this part of the Gym.

You take a deep breath and get ready. This is how the world is going to know Percival Williams.

You decide to cause a big impression by flexing your impressive Poké-communication skills. The interviewer seemed skeptical at first, it’s not the first time someone claims to be able to understand Pokémon but she was soon interested in your story after you did a little demonstration with one cameraman’s Aipom. After proving you weren’t a charlatan the interviewer kept asking questions about your abilities.

[Interviewer]: Can you understand any Pokémon?

[Percy]: Only Pokémon whose behavior I have studied extensively which is to say, most of them. Also, mons with trainers or who live in environments alongside humans are usually easier to understand and communicate with.

Trying to not delve too deeply into why you have this ability or going into fastidious detail about Pokémon behavior you kept the interview going by translating what your team wanted to say which made the whole thing a lot more dynamic.

[Loudred]: Hey Mimikyu, we miss you and hope you are doing better!

[Prince]: Oh, good afternoon everybody! My name is Prince and...

[Vulpix] Hello world! Prepare yourself cause I’m ready to take you on!

[Houndour]: Can we just battle and be done with this?

[Percy]: We are definitely going to win! Give us a roar!


You cap off the interview by asking Pokémon to cheer for you using some Rhydon growls, everything went quite well, you are definitely going to get more attention surrounding yourself after it airs!
>Percival’s notoriety as a trainer has increased!
>Percival’s Poké-communication abilities are now public knowledge, anyone who searches for information about him will be aware of them.

After the whole affair is over you follow one of the workers into an elevator who takes you to the top floor. As you exit the door you are greeted with the location of your next showdown. On the roof of the building, there’s an ample arena surrounded by a luxurious-looking swimming pool that seems quite deep, various lights illuminate the center of the battle stage focusing on the Gym Leader sporting a confident almost cocky smile. There’s a giant monitor behind your, showing your entrance into the arena. As you take your first steps, cameras that are scattered around the premises ready to record from every angle all focus on you, the whole environment is so dazzling that you almost don’t notice that you can see most of Lacrimosa Bay from this building.


[Gym Leader Katia]: This will be a singles battle, 3 vs 3, no problems I suppose?

[Percy]: Not in my end.

[Gym Leader Katia]: Then, let’s put on a show!

You decide to send out Loudred first, she’s pretty tough so it’s a sensible choice to see what you are dealing with, as you command Loudred to take the center of the stage the Gym Leader throw’s her Pokéball sending out a Pelipper, with a single flap of his wings black clouds start to gather above the battlefield, it's ability "Drizzle" activates causing rain to fall. A "Damp Rock" is being carried by him on a small bag.

>It started raining!
>The rain will last for 8 turns.
>Water type moves are strengthened and Fire-type moves weakened

The Pelipper seems quite resilient, able to take a hit, he flies confidently in circles around Loudred keeping his distance.

Choose a command
>ATTACK! Focus all your attention on causing damage
>DEFEND! Resist the hit and improve your chances of countering with an attack of your own
>EVADE! Try to evade the attack, reliant on speed and agility.

Pelipper likely isn't suited to swimming despite it's typing. If we can ground this chicken then we can make freeze nuggies.

The Pelipper tries to keep away from Loudred and attack her with "Scald" from the distance, you can see how inside his beak a mass of water starts to boil as the Flying TYpe start to close in just enough to hit your mon, You tell Loudred to jump into the air and Stomp the Pelipper into the ground so you can get some more damage up close.

Loudred starts to run towards the Pelipper and uses all her strength to jump in the air towards her opponent.

>Pelipper Flinched!

The Pelipper is a bit more agile than Loudred but he's taken by surprise when he's confronted by the purple beast launching herself at the bird. He fails to use the "Scald" as Loudred brings down the pain, stomping Pelipper with all her weight and strength behind her. Even for a tanky Pokémon like him, the strike is strong enough to lower his health to a third of it, the bird smacks into the ground the impact sending him to the edge of the arena. The Pelipper tries to compose himself and assumes a more defensive position while trying to get into the air again.

After stomping the Pelipper to the ground Loudred is mid-air falling to the ground as well.

As Loudred falls to the arena she takes a deep breath preparing to use "Echoed Voice", she prepares to break her fall just close enough to Pelipper to finish him off. The Flying Type starts flapping its wings with enough force to create a strong current of wind, he starts to lift himself up and continues to flap harder and harder, the wind becomes more turbulent and violent as he prepares to use "Hurricane " to blow Loudred away at the behest of his trainer.

>CRIT FAIL.

Just before Loudred manages to break her fall the Pelipper uses a particularly violent "Hurricane", the air currents are strong enough that the cameramen and your team have to hold on to avoid being blown away, Loudred's body is struck by air currents, striking and twisting her body, the attack lifts your team member up into the air and lets her fall to the water, it's a CRIT. She manages to get the "Echoed Voice" out but the power is diminished by the onslaught she's suffering, the sound of her voice is strong enough to cause some damage to Pelipper but not enough to outright knock him out, the opponent's mon is in a bad state but Loudred is too.

You can see a hurt Loudred trying her best to swim back to the surface and return to the arena, Pelipper is back in the air waiting, circling Loudred out of her reach. While he flies in circles the water surrounding Loudred starts to become more turbulent and erratic, waves forming and crashing into each other, he's going to use "Surf" to finish off Loudred.

>3rd turn.

You try to tell Loudred your plan in the midst of the battle, as the waves grow larger and more threatening by the second, you see something glowing beneath the water. is Loudred's Ice beam, small pieces of ice start to float up, then a larger chunk of ice comes afloat, your mon grabbing onto it, she manages to get up on her two feet and get some air. Holding onto her improvised boat she holds to it fiercely as the waves of the "Surf" try to knock her down back into the water, she starts charging her Ice Beam once again looking at the Pelipper trying to figure out the best way to close their distance and knock him out.

>PARTIAL PASS

As the waves crash against Loudred and her block of ice, threatening to sunk and drown her she musters enough strength to start firing Ice Beams at her surrounding, freezing the waves that were about to hit her and using the chunks of ice formed from the collision as platforms to approach the Pelipper, as she runs and jumps from platform to platform as fast as her stubby but strong legs let her, creating her path with continuous firing of her Ice Beam as she dodges the onslaught of waves. The purplish mon manages to freeze a particularly high wave to use as a ramp and reach the Pelipper, she jumps once again into the air, trying to stomp the flying type but misses just barely, as she falls again onto the violent waters she manages to fire the last Ice Beam to the birth just strong enough to knock him up. The effects from "Surf" die down as Loudred falls exhausted onto one of the icy platforms she just made. She's conscious but just barely so, and it doesn't look like she can fire anymore Ice Beams.

The pull is now full of floating chunks of ice, pillars, and ramps that can be used by your mons to avoid falling and staying into the water.

>Pelipper has been knocked out.
>Loudred is exhausted and in a critical state. Can't use another Ice Beam

With Pelipper down for the count, the Gym Leader returns her defeated mon to her ball and sends a Gorebyss forth into the battlefield, a focus sash tied to the tail.

>4th turn. The rain is still active.
What to do?

>Switch Loudred for another mon?
>Use an item on Loudred? (3 full restore)
>Keep fighting! Try to hit Gorebyss with an uproar before being knocked out.

Deciding to let Loudred have a rest you send forth Vulpix to deal with the Gorebyss, your mon is still pumped from her previous victory, and all the cameras and lights surrounding the battle arena seem to get her in the mood for battle. She confidently steps forward showing off her wizard costume and tells you that she's more than ready to follow your commands.

The Gorebyss dives into the water, swimming in circles surrounding the battle arena, her speed is impressive, jumping out of the water to do impressive pirouettes and other tricks for the camera, she must have the ability "Swift Swimmer" increasing her mobility on the rain. Even though the water type seems to be showing off for the camera at her trainer's request you can tell she's focused on taking an evasive approach, avoiding attacking first and seemingly taunting you with the pretty tricks she keeps on doing almost taunting you and your mon.

What should Vulpix do?

>Put on a light show with confuse ray to mesmerize the Gorebyss.
>Attack with Icy wind, let's start to slow her down.
>Jump into the water and start using Icy Wind to keep the ice chunks Loudred made frozen and keep freezing up the pool.
>Ice Shard! It's sure to outspeed her! Start firing a barrage of them
>Extrasensory, try to make her flinch, focus all of your attention on stopping the Gorebyss.

Vulpix chases Gorebyss around, the cold currents of wind blow through the roof freezing some of the raindrops falling while the surface of the pool becomes icier, Vulpix runs and jumps from place to place, using her Icy wind to create more platforms and connecting some of them, the temperature is now low enough to not worry about the chunks of ice melting halfway through the battle. The Gorebyss uses "Agility" while jumping out of the water to avoid a particularly large ice chunk and pose for the camera, she gets even faster than before but she has less space to move now, one of Vulpix's Icy wind currents manages to strike her and cause some damage since the water type is soaked she's easier to freeze, lowering her speed even more than the attack would normally do rendering the boost from the "Agility" completely useless. But it doesn't do much damage, the Gorebyss is still pretty healthy.

You command Vulpix to wait for an opening and focus on hitting Gorebyss with an "Icy Wind" in hopes of freezing her. They Gym Lesder telles her mon to keep evading and to use "Coil" to buff herself up.

With less space to move thanks to all the ice on the pool Gorebyss is easier to hit. With her opponent already being struck by an Icy wind and being partially covered in ice it should a bit easier to freeze her.

>CRIT FAIL

Vulpix waits for the Gorebyss to emerge from the water to strike with an Icy Wind at full power, but the Water Type is still faster thanks to its "Swift Swim" ability, just before Vulpix can react the Gorebyss jumps out of the water behind you mon, using its tail to strike a small chunk of ice that was floating around, smashing it and sending the debris flying towards Vulpix, it doesn't do much damage but it's enough to catch her off guard, the icy projectiles hit her head making her stumble and her miss.

The Gorebyss jumps back into the middle of the arena and uses "Coil" to raise Attack, Defense, and Accuracy, tightening up its body, seeing that Vulpix is still trying to get back on her feet, the Gym Leader feels confident and tells her mon to use "Shell Smash", her body glows red for a second and then brightly white as Gorebyss sheds a layer of its scales, losing the defense buff but improving greatly her stats across the board, becoming even faster than before.

With her stats buffed, Gorebyss prepares to go into the offensive.

What's next?

>Keep trying to freeze her with the Icy Wind at a distance, be evasive

With her enhanced speed, the Gorebyss slithers towards Vulpix, diving into the water and swimming worryingly fast, it's tail starts to glow with a faint blue aura that becomes surrounded by swirling water. She's about to use "Aqua Tail" and with her stats buffed up and the rain strengthening her move, it's definitely going to knock out Vulpix if it hits. You tell your mon to use a "Confuse Ray" and get ready to evade. The water type rises out of the water ready to bring her tail down onto Vulpix.

Vulpix jumps out of Gorebyss reach just as the tail smashes to bits and pieces the block of ice she was standing in. As she lands in another frozen chunk of the pool she uses "Confuse Ray" on her opponent, the colorful, flashing light enrapture Gorebyss attention and soon everything starts to seem wobbly and spin around Gorebyss, even the voice of her trainer isn't so clear. The Gym Leader tells her to keep trying to take Vulpix out with a "Surf"-

>Gorebyss is confused, it may hurt itself instead of attacking, easier to hit it.

Vulpix takes a deep breath and dives her head into the water letting out as much poison as she cans, the crystal clear water starts to turn into a light purple as the venom is diluted it's not as strong as directly applying it but it's enough to make the water a hazard. Gorebyss's "Surf" makes the poison expand further and reach most of the pool. The confused Water-type makes waves trying to strike Vulpix but it can't control them, the raging waters, stronger than normal thanks to its stats increase and the rain ends up mercilessly striking your opponent, dragging chunks of ice that batter the Gorebyss repeatedly and soaking her with the poisoned water. The Gym Leader tries to get her mon to get out of the water but the disorientated Pokémon doesn't quite understand the message.

The Gym Leader, worried that another failed attack like that could finish up her Pokémon tells her to use Rain Dance to keep the water falling.

>Gorebyss is poisoned! Staying on the water will make the poison's effect worse.
>Gorebyss is looking pretty bad, at 40% of its health and her confusion persists
>8th turn, the rain is finally stopping.

What should Vulpix do?
>Try to finish Gorebyss with a full-power Extrasensory, focus everything on attacking and causing damage!

With Gorebyss having nowhere to escape to and being too befuddled to even try to do so she makes for an easy target, Vulpix gets ready to attack, taking advantage of the priority of "Ice Shard" she starts shooting fiercely at her opponent before it gets a chance to react.

Gorebyss gets on top of an ice chunk but before the mon could do anything else it's struck by a barrage of chunks of ice rapidly flying towards the mon. They strike its body like furious frozen punches, it's trainer tells her to try and resist the damage and continue using Rain Dance. The Gorebyss does its best to ignore the pain and starts moving its body rhythmically calling forth more greyish clouds, Vulpix getting exasperated at the inefficacy of her moves starts to push herself harder, yapping loudly as the ice missiles she shoots become bigger, sharper, and faster, knocking down her opponent back into the noxious poisoned waters. The Gorebyss splashes around feeling the effects of the poison hurt its body it looks almost done, barely hanging on.

The chilling gust of wind that Vulpix blow lowers the temperature of the clouds to a freezing point, the raindrops turn into snow and then into a hailstorm. The low temperatures start to slowly but surely freeze more of the pool. Thanks to the hailstorm, Vulpix's ability "Snowcloak" activates, in the midst of the chilly weather, she becomes almost imperceptible raising her evasiveness.

The Gym Leader uses a full restore to completely heal her Gorebyss who seems to just have snapped out of her confusion, she tells her Pokémon to go back there and try to finish her, even without the boost from the rain it's still pretty buffed up.

>Gorebyss has been fully healed
>For the next 5 turns hail is active!
>"Snow Cloak" raises Vulpix's evasiveness
>The hail damages the Gorebyss but is currently still pretty healthy.

Gorebyss searches the snowy battlefield for any trace of Vulpix to no avail, looking at every corner guided by the faint sound of her steps, she finally seems to find her, guided by the bright lights of her "Confuse Ray", the water type brings down her tail with full force over the colorful ball of lights crashing the ice underneath it. But Vulpix is nowhere to be seen, the floating sphere of lights was just a decoy. The Gorebyss suddenly founds herself surrounded by more bright lights spinning around her before floating up to the sky leaving a bright trail behind them.


The Gorebyss looks at the sky following the "Confuse Ray" and becomes completely engrossed by the lights, they dance above the battlegrounds forming an aurora of lights in the middle of the hailstorm, the bizarre weather display captures the attention of the opponent's mon and everyone around you.

[Vulpix]: Behind you

Vulpix taunts her opponent with an ominous tone, the Water-type taken by surprise strikes the ice behind with "Aqua Tail" but only hits the ice, she keeps trying to hit Vulpix only managing to break more ice and damage herself in the process, the frozen platform where she was standing starts to cracks and suddenly the Gorebyss finds herself falling into the poisonous water. its trainer urges her to quickly get out of there but she starts flailing wildly overwhelmed by the confusion, poison, and hail raining on her.

>Gorebyss is poisoned!

Vulpix shoots another gust of chilling wind and snow towards her opponent, the Gorebyss being buffeted by the constant hail and the "Powder Snow" becomes submerged in the toxic waters, it flails around uselessly as the water freezes and traps it into the noxious pool. You can see the Gorebyss looking desperately for a way out, swimming as fast as it cans on the freezing waters tapping the surface of the ice looking for a part weak enough to smash through, you can see it trying to break the ice by smashing it with its tail, you see the ice breaking off in one of the edges of the pool, judging by its movement the water type looks pissed as hell.

Amidst the freezing climate, you can barely make out Vulpix in the hailstorm by her Wizard Costume, the cape and pointy hat seem to bounce from place to place freezing as much as the pool as possible leaving no route of escape, then she focuses on the spot where Gorebyss tries to break free from the poisonous pool.

The Gorebyss desperately tries to shoot boiling water with Scald to melt down the ice, but Vulpix with the temperature so slow and Vulpix keeping that spot as solid as possible with her Powder Snow. The Water Type keeps pumping it boiling water to no avail only managing to burn and hurt itself. The damage from the Scald and the building up of the poison seems to do the Gorebyss in as it slowly stops trashing wildly and stops moving, its unconscious body floating against the ice.

Vulpix merrily dances around the Gorebyss trying to get some attention from the camera.

[Vulpix]: Ta-dah!
.
She exclaims cutesily showing her defeated opponent.

>Gorebyss has been knocked out!
>4th turn since it started hailing.

The Gym Leader adopting a more serious stance and tone let out a Golduck, the mon looks serious, ready for battle. Then the young woman signals you to give her a moment before continuing the battle, she moves towards the Frozen pool and asks for something blunt to one of the Gym workers, seems like she's going to try and get her Gorebyss out herself.

This is implies that Percival and the Arsonist are friends.

Which they definitely are.

If it follows the flow of that battle then I expect nothing less a normal battle that devolves into the use of mega evolution, dynamaxing, and z-moves until all their pokemon have fainted and it's left for these two boys to duke it out.

>>4932733
Absolutely, they would try to join in as their giant mons battle, riding one another's mons fists and taking potshots with their guns at each other, missing or grazing for dramatic effect for the camera, maybe a lucky shot connecting together for the sparks, and then when running out of ammo, they run towards each other as their mons throw the final swings. And their fight begins, we need to start working out soon so we look cool for the showdown.

>>4932742
Getting in shape isn't too hard, especially since we're on active journey. All we'd really need to do is cut back on the calories, start sniffing protein, and train with our pokemon.
Also, we have a certain girl we need to impress.

>>4932750
Eli is going to be knocked up by the end of this journey, and Percy will have become not only the champion, but also a father. This will only serve to make his family even more proud of him, because of the hinting that that's what happened on their own pokemon journey. I wonder what the statistics are of people on pokemon journeys in this quest setting. Is it something like "80% of opposite sex travellers on a pokemon journey end up married or together by the end of it" or different than that?

>>4932706
>Try and paralyze it with Thunder Wave and evade its next attack.
Shouldn't we call a competition break or something to get Gorebyss out instead of doing it while still fighting?

>>4932750
Maybe she'd help us workout by sitting on our back for pushups. Plus with our knowledge of Poke-Food we can make smoothies to drink preand post workouts for maximum gains. We need calories too, because we will burn alot during travel and training. I want to give Loudred one more piggy back ride before she fully evolves.
>>4932758
>Spoiler
Damn right we will, but only after proving we're the very best at what we do, and get maximum gains. And stopping the coming war with the Giant Vespequeen.
>This will only serve to make his family even more proud of him, because of the hinting that that's what happened on their own pokemon journey.

We must make Mom, Dad, and I guess Gramps, proud by finishing the Journey. Then Smash Eli so much we'll have as many kids as the two have Pokemon.

>>4932750

We also need to Adopt Victoria and kick her dads ass into the dirt.

Speaking of Eli, it's been like. . . two years since us, the players, have seen her? Or everyone else for that matter? It'll be redundant for anyone reading the archives, but god dam, I want to hang out with them again after this.

>>4932758
I'm not saying that I don't want Percival to end up with Eli, but I am saying that I'd like it if there was a bit of competition between the girls over us.
Especially if it's from that bitch, Kali.

>>4932782
Kali realizes we are the hottest shit she ever could get and still tolerate her real self, gets jealous watching us take Eli on dates and be smooth as peanut butter. Thinks that can be her before smacking herself for thinking that.
I'm not saying anything, but it is potentially funny.

Before the Gym Leader starts trying to break the ice with a wrench you tell Loudred in "Poké-speak" to help her out, she happily obliges since she was going to do so even if you didn't ask her to, the purple mon jumping to the battlegrounds and breaking the ice in the pool with a single well placed punch, she grabs the Gorebyss carefully and hands her to her trainer apologizing for the inconveniences and sincerely wishing for her to get better. The Gym Leader seems surprised, calming down a bit and being unsure of how to react, her anger eases up a bit and she thanks Loudred.

>You caused a good impression on the gym leader and the camera.

As Loudred walks away she congratulates Vulpx on her victory "Way to go sis!", Vulpix doesn't retort instead taking the compliment gracefully, they bump fist, well fist, and paws. Vullpix seems to get along better with her teammate when she's in high spirits.

After that was resolved you tell Prince that it's his turn to battle. He gulps nervously but manages to walks to the battlegrounds ready to face his opponent trying to be as confident as possible.

[Golduck]: Pft, you are in for a world of hurt kid. the Golduck tries to intimate him as he cracks his neck and knuckles.

[Prince]: Y-y-you are not that scary! Alright, I'm ready!


Both Pokémon get in position, glaring at each other. Tensions are high, one of the workers announces dramatically the start of the battle.

Golduck, who's wearing a "Mystic Water" around his neck prepares to strike with a full power "Hydro Pump" looking to put a fast end to this bout. Prince starts growling as sparks fly off his body as he readies his "Thunder Wave".

Roll me some dice!

>PARTIAL PASS.

Hail keeps falling as the clouds above the battle arena start to clear hurting both mons. Prince the Elekid rotates his right arm a couple of times charging just enough electricity to Paralyze the Golduck, but just as he's about to let his attack out the Golduck fires his "Hydro Pump" he's got no time to react, you can see the fear on his eyes but quickly steels himself and uses "Thunder Wave" to strike his opponent, jolts of lighting travel trough the Water's type attack and strike its body, you can see the Golduck tense up as his muscle become stiff and his speed is reduced. The Water Pump hits Prince and sends him tumbling back, his egg-like body rolls a couple of meters before he quickly gets back up on his feet, his resilient body still being able to fight despite the damage. With its speed compromised the Gym Leader instructs Golduck to use "Aqua Jet" to outspeed Prince.

>Golduck is paralyzed! And at roughly 94% of it's health
>Prince is at roughly at 35% of its health

What should your mon do?

It's more like 50% of opposite sex travelers on a pokémon journey end up having some short-lived fling together, and another 30% end up forming long-lasting relationships.

Either way, the number of trainers that end up having one or various sexual partners during their journey prompts Pokémon centers to offer free condoms and other birth-control methods.

You know, I like how you just took almost everything that /vp/ would come up with for real pokemon journeys and just ran with it. It's the stuff teenagers and young adults would imagine really happens on pokemon journeys, that the games and anime never touch on or barely hint at. Your setting is great for that alone.

>>4932844
>Either way, the number of trainers that end up having one or various sexual partners during their journey prompts Pokémon centers to offer free condoms and other birth-control methods.

Prince starts to spin his arms like windmills charging up as much electricity as possible, a crackling orb of lighting starts to form over his head, Golduck prepares to launch himself like a missile, jets of water start to spray out of his webbed feet, he gets into position as water starts to envelop his body launching the mon at a ridiculous speed at Prince, your little yellow adopted son spin his arms faster and faster in hopes of having his attack ready!

As the Water Type launches itself aiming for Prince, the paralysis does a number on his body making his muscles contract and become immobile, the Water Type's attack fails, stumbling into the ground at high speed hurting himself and becoming to Prince's attack, your mon uses this chance to charge the "Electro Ball" further. the orb becomes bugger than your mon, bigger even than Loudred, as it crackles violently, once he can't contain it any longer Prince, shoots it towards the Golduck who can only shout "Oh crap! before the orb explodes and the blast consumes him. Golduck is sent flying towards the ice-covered pool, he seems to be heavily damaged, being barely able to move. He glares at Prince trying to get back on his feet.

Since the battle is coming to an end I'd like to share some thought I've been holding onto for a while now.
It's only been a few hours for Percival since he's seen his friends, but for us it's been roughly two years. Now that we're back, there's nothing more I'd like to do than to enjoy the little things about this quest like checking up on Arcanine, see if Kali's treating him fine, spend some father-son time with Prince, tell him we're proud of him, or just hang out with any of our friends!
These aren't even important to the rest of the story, but they feel important y'know?

>>4933310
I wanna meet Dick, I'm still rooting for him. And we should spend time with Kadabra, he's our oldest friend and we treat him like a taxi. Also don't we have to meet with the indiana jones gym leader? I think we have a lot of plot hooks to do...

>>4933314
>>4933310
Some brave autist should read all past threads and compile a list of plot hooks for us.

With the battle being technically won you let Prince handle the rest "[That's my boy! I knew you could do it!", Prince moves towards the Golduck who's still trying to get up on his feet to no avail. The Elekid feeling more confident and proud of himself offers his hand to his opponent in a sign of good will "Thanks for the battle"

The Golduck, having his pride hurt by being defeated by an unevolved, first stage baby Pokémon tries to attack with a last "Hydro Pump" without his trainer telling to do so, he doesn't get a chance as Prince knocks him out cold by punching the side of his head with a "Quick Attack".Prince sighs disappointed feeling like he still can't fully understand other Pokémon but he doesn't dwell much on it he turns his gaze to you and your team and gives you a smile and a thumbs up. You feel proud of your little egg-shaped boy.

>BATTLE END!
>WINNER: PERCIVAL WILLIAMS AND HIS TEAM!
>LOUDRED GAINED EXPERIENCE!
>VULPIX AND PRINCE GAINED TONS OF EXPERIENCE!

This was a complete victory! None of your Pokémon got knocked out, even Vulpix remained almost unscathed during the whole bout! As you and your team huddle to celebrate Prince's body started to glow, the light emanating from him being is almost blinding.

"[Prince]: Huh? What's going on.

[Loudred]: You are evolving lil bro!

[Prince]: Wait, no! I'm not ready to evolve! I don't think I'm ready to be an Electabuzz!"

He seems unsure about this change, and evolution would be a considerable boost of power and further his development he also has to accept these changes eventually, on the other hand, if you were to keep training him in his early stage it would be easier to teach him some new moves he would learn naturally.

>Let him evolve!
>Help Prince cancel the evolution (Press B)
>Try to calm him down, tell him he doesn't have to evolve yet, and try to get him to cancel it on his own.

And as it turns out, all Vulpix needed to start getting good rolls is 2 years off

You kneel down and put your hands on Prince's shoulder, telling him to take deep breathes and calm down, evolving requires a certain mindset and concentration, reminding him he is in control and that he can cancel it anytime, your words seem to do the trick as your mon bright glow becomes fainter until he returns back to normal,

" You don't need to evolve yet, take it at your own pace "

Prince looks at himself and sighs in relief, "Thanks pa"


The Gym Leader approaches you, the young woman seems a bit exhausted seems like your battle took quite a toll on her but she soon returns her more professional self.

[Gym Leader]: That was quite the show, I certainly don't appreciate the scare you gave me with Gorebyss but I appreciated your help, you got quite the team. And the spectacle your Vulpix made was quite the sight.

[Gym Leader]: Keep it up, you are going to be drawing a lot of attention in the coming days. Here you go.

>Obtained TM 55: Scald!
>Obtained: 6,000$
>Obtained: Stylish badge.

[Gym Leader]: Also, since you finally got 3 badges you've officially graduated from "Rookie Trainer" to an "Intermediate Trainer", you should be able to get into more official competitions and try your hand at harder bounties if you are into that.

The two of you shake hands as a sign of respect before she exits the stage, the Leader still has some matches to go through today. You are quick to snap a picture of your new badge and send it to Eli. "Already caught up to you"

It's a while past noon, you still got some daytime left, grey clouds have been filling up the skies and the air is starting to get chilly for such a tropical place. Eli got bus tickets for tomorrow morning so you still got some hours to yourself, what should you do?

>Go check on Gareth and Kadabra, the college-aged trainer wanted to try and challenge the gym today.
>Go visit your gramps who's still resting on the hospital after the whole shitshow with the Arsonist.
>Try to search for Maximillian, you are still curious about what he and his goons were doing here.
>Go look for Jeanne to patch things up, after all, you need her so the remainders of the Arsonist's gang agree to help you deal with the giant Vespiquen
>Ibarra's Village Gym Leader, Henry Ford the archeologist wanted to contact you, give him a call?

All of these are good choices, but I just want to hang out- also talking to Jeanne is going to be a hassle. Let's just bother Kali and check up Arcanine. Smush his face and give him treats.
