  1. Mar 28 20:45:33 <Mega_Punch> Veilbeak City! Man it's been a long time since you've been here but it's much as you remember it.
  2. Mar 28 20:46:32 <Mega_Punch> Tall buildings, busy streets, beach side partying all the time, tasty foods! As you step off the train you're met with a warm, humid air.
  3. Mar 28 20:46:49 <Mega_Punch> Norina told you she couldn't meet you, but she did leave you some directions to where she's staying.
  4. Mar 28 20:49:06 »» Rosetta steps off the train dressed in her usual but also carrying a gym bag. She glances down at her phone and turns on the GPS as she walks. Trilloby has his usual perch on her head.
  5. Mar 28 20:49:40 <Mega_Punch> Trilloby seems a bit overwhelmed with the sensations here, constantly hopping around and trying to absorb the atmosphere.
  6. Mar 28 20:50:33 <Mega_Punch> It seems the address is leading you along the beach front. It's a fairly lively evening from the looks of it. Roll me perception.
  7. Mar 28 20:51:10 <Rosetta> 2d6
  8. Mar 28 20:51:10 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, 2d6: 3 [2d6=2,1]
  9. Mar 28 20:51:36 <Mega_Punch> You don't see anything of interest on the way over! Zut.
  10. Mar 28 20:52:11 »» Rosetta is being bird-brained again! Or just single-minded maybe?
  11. Mar 28 20:53:06 <Mega_Punch> The GPS leads you to a rather large multistory brick building overlooking the beach. It looks a bit worn down, and has a rather dated metal sign over the front doors
  12. Mar 28 20:53:31 <Mega_Punch> "VEILBEAK CITY GYM AND FITNESS CLUB"
  13. Mar 28 20:54:15 <Rosetta> "Huh, looks kinda plain for a Gym." Rosetta shrugs and makes her way on in.
  14. Mar 28 20:57:48 <Mega_Punch> The door creeks with age as you enter. The interior has low flourescent lights, aged wood flooring and walls, and some padding near some free weights on the far side of the facility. You can see parts of the upper levels from here.
  15. Mar 28 20:58:12 <Mega_Punch> The equiptment here is not exactly modern but it's functional. The place has a rather charming old town feel to it.
  16. Mar 28 20:58:38 <Mega_Punch> There's the sound of hit music over a sound system, and plenty of people and Pokemon alike working out.
  17. Mar 28 20:58:39 »» Rosetta glances down at her phone again. "Lessee, room number or floor at least..."
  18. Mar 28 20:59:42 <Mega_Punch> Most noticably you see a woman on a treadmill, with an obese Pidove on the one next to her running as fast as its tiny little bird legs can handle its flubber.
  19. Mar 28 21:00:21 <Mega_Punch> The message didn't actually say anything in that detail, just that she was staying here. It seems to you the place has three levels, though.
  20. Mar 28 21:00:28 »» Rosetta looks on in abject horror for a moment before moving on. Real birds should be more majestic than that!
  21. Mar 28 21:00:47 <Rosetta> [Hey cuz, I'm here!] Rosetta taps out a quick text.
  22. Mar 28 21:01:24 <Mega_Punch> The bird coos pitifully as it tries to keep up with the device ;-;.
  23. Mar 28 21:01:56 <Mega_Punch> You hear a buzz from somewhere in the gym, like a phone. Then the sound of a Pokeball opening...
  24. Mar 28 21:02:01 <Mega_Punch> Roll me perception again
  25. Mar 28 21:02:08 <Rosetta> 2d6
  26. Mar 28 21:02:09 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, 2d6: 7 [2d6=3,4]
  27. Mar 28 21:02:27 <Mega_Punch> Walking around makes it clear this first floor has a pool on one side and a gym on the other. There's a track around the perimeter on the second floor, with...something in the middle of it.
  28. Mar 28 21:02:43 <Mega_Punch> You see a familiar Arcanine bolting at you from near the free weights!
  29. Mar 28 21:03:02 <Rosetta> "Oh fuckdamn." Rosetta braces for impact.
  30. Mar 28 21:04:13 <Mega_Punch> The Arcanine pounces on you and a terrified Trilloby!
  31. Mar 28 21:04:20 <Mega_Punch> It just starts licking you though.
  32. Mar 28 21:04:28 <Mega_Punch> and wagging its tail. Bark bark!
  33. Mar 28 21:05:23 <Rosetta> "Oof! Nice to see you too Cervantes!" Rosetta flails a bit then reaches up a hand to pet him. "Uh, where's Mega Punch?"
  34. Mar 28 21:06:32 <Mega_Punch> He backs off a bit, then kneels down for you to hop on.
  35. Mar 28 21:07:33 <Rosetta> "Oh, alright, this works. C'mon Trilloby, nothin' to be scared of." Rosetta gives the Natu a reassuring pat, then sets him on the Arcanine's head as she climbs on its back.
  36. Mar 28 21:08:40 <Mega_Punch> Trilloby hops around some, gets comfortable, and sits.
  37. Mar 28 21:09:20 <Mega_Punch> Cervantes hurries through the gym, getting a few odd glances from people working out, and heads upstairs!
  38. Mar 28 21:10:12 <Mega_Punch> It heads to the section overlooking the gym and pool. Here's a boxing ring, along with a lot of work out mats that you assume are for sparring, punching bags, that sort of thing.
  39. Mar 28 21:11:14 <Mega_Punch> You spot Norina as Cervantes gets closer. She appears to be doing pushups with a Prinplup sitting on her back.
  40. Mar 28 21:12:58 <Rosetta> "Heya cuz!" Rosetta calls out with a wave. Then in a flash, she's teleported on top of Norina, lightly shoving off the Prinplup and taking its place cross-legged.
  41. Mar 28 21:13:16 <Mega_Punch> "Ninety eight...ninety nine...hundr-"
  42. Mar 28 21:13:19 <Rosetta> "Training hard, huh?"
  43. Mar 28 21:13:32 <Mega_Punch> She collapses to the mat beneath, huffing and puffing for air. Oh god she's drenched in sweat too.
  44. Mar 28 21:14:09 <Mega_Punch> The Prinplup panics and flails about trying to push you off!
  45. Mar 28 21:14:26 »» Rosetta quickly hops up.
  46. Mar 28 21:15:08 <Mega_Punch> Norina takes in a few deep breaths, before standing up slowly, shaking a bit. She turns to face you in a sort of disabelief.
  47. Mar 28 21:15:33 <Rosetta> "Um...Sorry."
  48. Mar 28 21:15:44 <Mega_Punch> 1d20+4
  49. Mar 28 21:15:45 <DiceMaid-9001> Mega_Punch, 1d20+4: 7 [1d20=3]
  50. Mar 28 21:15:52 <Mega_Punch> Does that hit on AC4?
  51. Mar 28 21:16:14 <Rosetta> ...Depends on whether or not Rosetta's bought that Evasion booster by this point in the week.
  52. Mar 28 21:16:41 <Rosetta> I imagine that kind of thing takes a while to make though.
  53. Mar 28 21:16:52 <Mega_Punch> 4d10+30
  54. Mar 28 21:16:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Mega_Punch, 4d10+30: 53 [4d10=4,5,5,9]
  55. Mar 28 21:17:03 <Rosetta> (oh god)
  56. Mar 28 21:17:21 <Mega_Punch> She pulls back her fist a bit lethargic, you know what's coming
  57. Mar 28 21:17:38 <Mega_Punch> But it comes a lot harder than you are used to. "REVENGE PUNCH!"
  58. Mar 28 21:18:03 <Mega_Punch> She nails you straight in the chest, on your tattoo about!
  59. Mar 28 21:18:47 <Rosetta> "Hey, hey, there's no nee- OWWWW! Bondye, that hurts!" Rosetta doubles over.
  60. Mar 28 21:19:13 <Rosetta> "Oooh, okay, okay, I probably deserved that one."
  61. Mar 28 21:19:21 <Mega_Punch> "The hell is wrong with you fatass!"
  62. Mar 28 21:19:31 <Mega_Punch> "I thought I was gonna suffocate!"
  63. Mar 28 21:19:51 »» Giantree is now known as Lorelei
  64. Mar 28 21:20:08 <Mega_Punch> It's then you notice she's wearing some interesting gloves. They got a runic symbol on the top, seem like lightweight boxing gear.
  65. Mar 28 21:20:40 <Rosetta> "HEY! Are you really calling me fat? You know penguins are practically made of blubber too, yeah? I figured it wouldn't be too much difference..." Rosetta slowly gets up, groaning. "Okay, so I misjudged. And you hit a lot harder now. ;_;"
  66. Mar 28 21:21:07 <Mega_Punch> "Eh it's okay but you should probably cut back on those sodas." She helps you back up. "Hehe. Hey cuz."
  67. Mar 28 21:21:32 <Mega_Punch> "Yeah. Coach is pretty brutal. About as much as the wilds are she says!"
  68. Mar 28 21:22:18 <Rosetta> "I don't doubt that." Rosetta looks down at her gym bag. "Shit, now I'm sort of regretting my idea to ask you for help combat training."
  69. Mar 28 21:26:58 <Mega_Punch> "You're lucky I didn't go for the KO! Wouldn't do that without head gear though."
  70. Mar 28 21:27:15 <Mega_Punch> "So how have you been holding up?" She plops down on the mat again. She looks pretty tired herself.
  71. Mar 28 21:28:06 <Rosetta> "Not too bad. Just...sorta involved in some crazy shit. You see those videos I put on our Dropbox?"
  72. Mar 28 21:30:12 <Mega_Punch> "I saw the first two. There's more?"
  73. Mar 28 21:30:38 <Mega_Punch> "Been sorta busy myself...every day is weight training, then sparring, then more weight training..."
  74. Mar 28 21:30:45 <Mega_Punch> "Then swimming...more weight training..."
  75. Mar 28 21:31:09 <Mega_Punch> "Starting next week Coach will be having me and Vodka Punch help with the actual gym fights!"
  76. Mar 28 21:31:41 <Rosetta> "Yeah, uh..." Rosetta pulls out her phone. "Geez, you just don't get a break, huh? Oh I see, they weren't syncing. There we go." She taps at the phone. "You can check 'em out if you have...any free time later." Rosetta looks a bit concerned at this schedule.
  77. Mar 28 21:34:12 <Mega_Punch> She grabby hands at your phone. "Just lemee see em now I guess."
  78. Mar 28 21:34:27 <Mega_Punch> The penguin and Trilloby start a staring contest, by the way.
  79. Mar 28 21:35:55 <Rosetta> "Sure thing. I'll show you what I've been catching too..." Rosetta hands over the phone, then reaches in her pockets for her pokeballs and releases Maestoso, Glissani, Clavier, a bandaged up Scherzo, and Minuetta.
  80. Mar 28 21:36:44 <Mega_Punch> "Kyaaaaaa~"
  81. Mar 28 21:36:54 <Mega_Punch> She is distracted as the birds pop out of everywhere
  82. Mar 28 21:37:15 <Rosetta> "....Cuz, you did not just 'kyaaa'." Rosetta raises an eyebrow.
  83. Mar 28 21:38:25 <Mega_Punch> "Huh?"
  84. Mar 28 21:38:42 <Mega_Punch> She's currently petting Glissani as she fumbles with the phone in the other hand.
  85. Mar 28 21:39:19 <Rosetta> "Nevermind." Rosetta smiles and shrugs.
  86. Mar 28 21:39:53 <Rosetta> "So...I'm gonna try tracking down this Yanala chick, or the Keepers Cult in general really." She sits down as well with a sigh.
  87. Mar 28 21:40:42 <Mega_Punch> She watches the videos quickly in the mean time. Her first comment is "Why is she wearing - oh. oh."
  88. Mar 28 21:41:08 <Mega_Punch> At the end her jaw just drops and she drops the phone. "The hell does this even MEAN."
  89. Mar 28 21:41:57 <Rosetta> "It means I fully understand now why half the people I've met in the Guild seem to be functional alcoholics."
  90. Mar 28 21:43:21 <Mega_Punch> She picks the phone back up and hands it back to you, thinking on this a bit. "It makes what Coach says me and Vodka Punch will learn at the end of this seem a bit less crazy I guess..."
  91. Mar 28 21:43:38 <Rosetta> "And what's that?"
  92. Mar 28 21:45:14 <Mega_Punch> "She's got this...Move she knows that she says one can only learn after coming face-to-face with God. Seems a lot more plausible than...mermaids? Is this stuff like top secret or something?"
  93. Mar 28 21:45:25 <Mega_Punch> "Like is there going to be a black van coming to collect me and I'll never be seen again?"
  94. Mar 28 21:46:24 <Rosetta> "It's kiiiinda hush-hush, but you're mine and Corbin's cousin, so I don't think they'll mind. Hopefully."
  95. Mar 28 21:47:38 <Mega_Punch> "Soooo what if I said I saw some guys going around town hunting for those dolls here? I didn't think much of it at first till I saw them putting up adds for a concert as well."
  96. Mar 28 21:48:11 <Rosetta> "For a concert? Uh...oh, Panic! at the Ditto?"
  97. Mar 28 21:48:49 <Mega_Punch> "Yeah! Big tall guy, white guy with a headband and some chick with dyed hair."
  98. Mar 28 21:48:55 <Mega_Punch> "They cultists or something?"
  99. Mar 28 21:49:36 <Rosetta> "Noo, they're bandmates of one of my teammates! Uh, they sorta got dragged into this whole mess when one of them found a doll and it did freaky ghost things in front of all of us."
  100. Mar 28 21:49:59 <Rosetta> "So we've got them helping us out on that front."
  101. Mar 28 21:50:05 <Mega_Punch> "Oh. Lucky." :<
  102. Mar 28 21:50:21 <Mega_Punch> "I wish I were a bit older. Sorta just...stuck here I guess."
  103. Mar 28 21:51:19 <Rosetta> "Hey, just...two years? one and a half years? And then you can join an Explorer Team too if you want." Rosetta's totally forgotten when Norina's birthday is, but hell if she's gonna admit it.
  104. Mar 28 21:51:36 <Mega_Punch> "I saw your group profile you guys put up and all those names. Seems really cool..."
  105. Mar 28 21:51:45 <Mega_Punch> "When are you gonna introduce me to your team mates anyway?"
  106. Mar 28 21:52:42 <Rosetta> "When we stop by here, I 'spose! I mean, if you're gonna help out with the gym battles I might just let them meet you -during- our gym challenge. Wouldn't that be fun?"
  107. Mar 28 21:53:32 <Mega_Punch> "Is there anyone in particular you'd like me to punch among them?" :D
  108. Mar 28 21:54:58 <Rosetta> "Oh, but that'd be mean."
  109. Mar 28 21:56:29 <Mega_Punch> "I dunno looking through these posts it seems you and this Saryx guy got into a fight. He hit on you or something?"
  110. Mar 28 21:56:51 <Rosetta> "Pffft, he just can't take any teasing."
  111. Mar 28 21:57:27 <Rosetta> "He has this old-ass clam phone, yeah? The kind that I don't think you can even GET anymore. Not even a data plan on it. So I bought him a new phone."
  112. Mar 28 21:57:36 <Rosetta> "...With a Mighty Moe Meguca Rangers case."
  113. Mar 28 21:57:46 <Mega_Punch> "Pppppht."
  114. Mar 28 21:58:08 <Rosetta> "And uh, he took it kinda badly when I teased him about making it a symbol of his mentor's friendship cause they watched the show together."
  115. Mar 28 21:58:48 <Mega_Punch> "Hahahaha" She starts rolling around a bit. "I-I caught vodka watching that about a week ago and he got really embarassed. What's with guys and that crap?"
  116. Mar 28 22:00:06 »» Rosetta shakes her head with a grin. "I don't even know."
  117. Mar 28 22:00:22 <Mega_Punch> The penguin and Trilloby are still going at it.
  118. Mar 28 22:00:33 <Mega_Punch> All the other Pokemon out are taking sides, it seems
  119. Mar 28 22:01:26 <Rosetta> "So! I don't think I"ve introduced my Pokemon. You've met Trilloby, and Glissani here you've seen a picture of. This is Maestoso." Rosetta pokes at his headcurl. "Scherzo, Clavier, Minuetta." She points at each in turn. "You catch anything new while you're here?"
  120. Mar 28 22:01:34 <Rosetta> "Or just the penguin?"
  121. Mar 28 22:04:19 <Mega_Punch> She doesn't disturb the staring contest but she pats him on the head. "Well, Coach convinced Professor Spore to let me have Ringo here! And outside of that..."
  122. Mar 28 22:05:23 <Mega_Punch> She takes the gloves off and shakes them a bit until an Unown Prime pops out, PUNCH. "Coach got me these as well for making good progress. He likes to hide in them."
  123. Mar 28 22:05:56 <Mega_Punch> "I've been trying to save some money to adopt something from a breeder, but it's not cheap..."
  124. Mar 28 22:06:31 <Rosetta> "How much is it?" Rosetta tilts her head.
  125. Mar 28 22:07:09 <Mega_Punch> "uuuuh...a...lot."
  126. Mar 28 22:07:16 <Mega_Punch> "Like $10,000 an egg."
  127. Mar 28 22:07:30 <Mega_Punch> "For something well bred, that is."
  128. Mar 28 22:07:58 <Rosetta> "Yikes. I see."
  129. Mar 28 22:08:51 <Mega_Punch> "I get by with this...Coach lets us borrow her own if we need them, but she doesn't think we will."
  130. Mar 28 22:10:22 <Rosetta> "You know, I don't think I know your gym leader now." Rosetta rocks back and forth a little, watching the staring contest out of the corner of her eye. "Since it's been a few years since I've been here."
  131. Mar 28 22:11:14 <Mega_Punch> "Well..." She looks to a clock. "She said she was going to an event in New Ivyhollow for a few hous but should be back soon."
  132. Mar 28 22:11:27 <Rosetta> "Oh, neat."
  133. Mar 28 22:11:45 <Mega_Punch> "And Vodka left a bit ago too. Though I think you met him already." she sighs, sorta disapointed.
  134. Mar 28 22:12:04 <Rosetta> "Yup, we helped him get his papers filled out."
  135. Mar 28 22:13:08 <Mega_Punch> "There's some GIRL he met and has been flirting with so he keeps leaving when he can," She grumbles as she stands up and stretches some.
  136. Mar 28 22:13:10 <Rosetta> "Oh right, we ran into one of the Sons of Grant. I uh, ...it was weird. Apparently they kidnap people and force 'em to help them out...Said he didn't know anything about Corbin, but they were trying to nab him away from the Keepers Cult or something?" Rosetta gives a confused shrug. "So, I guess I'm not really much closer to figuring that out. You got any questions 'bout all that?"
  137. Mar 28 22:13:21 <Rosetta> "Oh my."
  138. Mar 28 22:14:06 <Mega_Punch> "You ran into one..? Huh. What happened to him?"
  139. Mar 28 22:15:16 <Rosetta> "He's stuck in custody now. Doesn't wanna get out. He thinks the Sons will off him, and he's safer off locked up. I mean, I guess he's got a point. He worked at a museum before the Sons coerced him into joining."
  140. Mar 28 22:16:05 <Mega_Punch> "That's sorta scary." She shivers. "I mean that coulda been your parents if they were like us too."
  141. Mar 28 22:16:34 »» Rosetta nods slowly. "Yeah..."
  142. Mar 28 22:16:57 <Mega_Punch> "I guess it's a good thing I am where I am then. I don't think most those guys could hang with Coach."
  143. Mar 28 22:17:02 <Rosetta> "Guy knew my name too, says they all do cause we're the only family in the whole damn Isles that are natural Rune Masters."
  144. Mar 28 22:17:11 <Mega_Punch> "Oh jeez."
  145. Mar 28 22:17:32 <Mega_Punch> "...I feel like doing more squats now for some reason. But I don't think my knees would let me."
  146. Mar 28 22:18:05 <Rosetta> "Anyway, yeah, you're better off than most. Do me a favor, yeah? Slip a warning to my parents to keep safe. I still think it'd be awkward going to see them again."
  147. Mar 28 22:18:26 <Mega_Punch> "Alright..."
  148. Mar 28 22:18:38 <Rosetta> "Well," Rosetta stands up hefting her gym bag. "How 'bout helping me get back into proper fighting form then?"
  149. Mar 28 22:19:03 <Rosetta> "Since you're all tired and such it uh, might actually be sort of a fair fight. Maybe." She pokes at her tattoo and winces.
  150. Mar 28 22:19:26 <Mega_Punch> "Could we talk about happier things at the moment now though? I mean we could talk about this stuff online anytime...oh - that works I guess."
  151. Mar 28 22:19:55 <Rosetta> "I'll go get changed. Uh, which way?" Rosetta hops around in place looking for the locker room.
  152. Mar 28 22:20:50 <Mega_Punch> "Mannn I was about to take a shower too - follow me." She heads toward a door on this floor as the penguin and Trilloby both fall over, staring contest tie.
  153. Mar 28 22:21:37 <Rosetta> "Gotcha. Out in a jiffy." Rosetta dashes in.
  154. Mar 28 22:23:36 <Mega_Punch> It's a pretty standard locker room. Norina loiters aroun some stretching while you change.
  155. Mar 28 22:23:45 <Rosetta> A few minutes later, she comes out in more appropriate gym attire - a tanktop and gym shorts. "So, got any sort of secret techniques or anything you've learned here?"
  156. Mar 28 22:23:58 <Mega_Punch> As you walk out you notice she's talking with someone.
  157. Mar 28 22:24:27 <Mega_Punch> ???: "Ymir isn't here? And here I thought I'd catch you waching him doing squats again." you hear as you open the door.
  158. Mar 28 22:24:45 <Mega_Punch> Norina: "Huh? Uh, no! He's out with that dumb blond again!"
  159. Mar 28 22:25:06 <Rosetta> "Ohh, is someone jealous?"
  160. Mar 28 22:25:34 <Mega_Punch> The older girl looks over to you. "Girl has crush. Whose this, Mega Punch? Sorta looks like you."
  161. Mar 28 22:26:16 <Rosetta> "Hi! I'm Rosetta, her cousin. Just here visiting. You can call me Razor Wind if you wanna go with the nickname theme."
  162. Mar 28 22:26:44 <Mega_Punch> The girl nods, extends a hand. "Ah, recognize that. You're an explorer ain't ya."
  163. Mar 28 22:27:14 <Mega_Punch> "Just watched one of your team mates totally make an ass of himself. Was pretty funny. I'm Gabriela. Veilbeak's Gym Leader."
  164. Mar 28 22:27:16 <Rosetta> "Yup." Rosetta takes her hand. "And you are...? The Gym Leader here, I assume."
  165. Mar 28 22:27:19 <Mega_Punch> http://imgur.com/aHdQxYD
  166. Mar 28 22:28:34 <Rosetta> "Nice to meet ya. ANd uh, oh geez, who?"
  167. Mar 28 22:29:08 <Mega_Punch> "Think his name is Chase? Black guy, thinks he's suave?"

  352. Mar 28 23:50:08 <Mega_Punch> Alright! So Saryx was going into the swamps some to go fishing and hunt down a Sewaddle!
  353. Mar 28 23:50:57 <Mega_Punch> It's pretty damn murky out in this place, a hot humid mess of misery, but Saryx has gone through worse in the desert, so on he went!
  354. Mar 28 23:52:54 <Saryx> Doesn't mean he likes it any better than the desert. Least the desert was consistently dry. This is humid and nasty as all hell, so he probably legit hates this more... But damned if he doesn't want a Sewaddle, so into the pool of misery he wades!
  355. Mar 28 23:54:04 <Mega_Punch> Roll me Education: Pokemon, with a +2 bonus on top cause I'm assuming he read -something- about Sewaddles!

  359. Mar 28 23:55:48 <Mega_Punch> Saryx knows he's going to want to dig around in the upper canopy of some trees some. They like their leaves after all. Also it'd probably in a bit more still water cause, well, they don't like hot springs and volcanic activity very much!

  361. Mar 28 23:57:45 <Saryx> So he'd be aiming to look more around the area where, like, they found Thomas and Shawyun, or even close to the Stag Lord Ruins, then, wouldn't he, hunh?
  362. Mar 28 23:58:04 <Mega_Punch> Indeed! Though he doesn't need to go that far in, that direction for sure
  363. Mar 28 23:59:47 <Saryx> At the very least, yeah, maneuvering towards the not-so-suckish part of this swamp. His travelling companion for the day is Fero, since he promised the dude to explore all waters... Even if this stuff might not be what the poor guy had in mind. "Come on, Fero! We gotta look a bit more out this way!" He waves over, trying to smile as he wades through. ... Eeew...
  364. Mar 29 00:00:31 <Mega_Punch> It's actually less muddy away from the ocean and more just knee deep water. Fero seems a bit weirded out by it not being salt water, but happy enough to be swimming around!

  369. Mar 29 00:03:52 <Saryx> He looks at the trees, and... Well, first question, how big are these things, does it seem?
  370. Mar 29 00:04:59 <voiceInTheSkyman> He nods and swims around as you look around the trees - not TOO big, maybe 15 feet?

  377. Mar 29 00:07:55 <Saryx> *Bonk* Well, it probably didn't hurt... But it definitely caught Saryx waaay off guard. "... Hunh?" He starts darting his head about. "... Fero, did you see where that came from?"
  378. Mar 29 00:08:15 <voiceInTheSkyman> Fero pokes his head out of the water, shrugs.

Doesn't break them, covers his head and runs to the nearest tree. "Alright, don't say I didn't warn you!" One by one, he begins furiously shaking the trees in some semblance of a systematic order.
  390. Mar 29 00:13:52 <Saryx> Until something falls out that looks sentient.
  391. Mar 29 00:14:19 <voiceInTheSkyman> After a few attempts, something plops to the ground with a small 'eeeeeee!'
  392. Mar 29 00:14:33 <voiceInTheSkyman> it's...a sewaddle alright, in a little ghilli suit it's made itself.

  396. Mar 29 00:16:48 <voiceInTheSkyman> It starts to turn a dark brown to blend in with the ground...but you sorta know where it is, so doesn't really help.

  400. Mar 29 00:18:26 <voiceInTheSkyman> Tounge out and everything.
  401. Mar 29 00:18:54 <Saryx> He holds the thing up with both hands at eye level. ... And, well...
  402. Mar 29 00:19:01 <Saryx> He completely loses it.
  403. Mar 29 00:19:39 <Saryx> "Maaan, you're really adorable, you know that?" He starts trying to figure out a way to make the Sewaddle respond to him if it doesn't react instantly to that.
  404. Mar 29 00:19:49 <Saryx> Laughing 'loses it.'
  405. Mar 29 00:20:24 <voiceInTheSkyman> It slowly stops the facade and looks to you somewhat perplexed.

  415. Mar 29 00:24:21 <Saryx> "See? I'm not gonna eat you~" He tries to reassure the little 'waddle that he's not gonna make a meal out of the poor thing.
  416. Mar 29 00:24:58 <Saryx> "... Why'd you have to go and hit me and Fero in the head with all those acorns, though? That wasn't very nice, you know..."

  421. Mar 29 00:27:42 <Saryx> "Hey, did you make that yourself?"
  422. Mar 29 00:28:36 <voiceInTheSkyman> It's sorta what a hunter or a sniper would wear! Just a little cloak out of leaves and foilage

  424. Mar 29 00:30:41 <Saryx> "That's really cool, you know what I mean?" Saryx Status: Impressed as All Hell. "Mind if I feel it a sec?" His curiosity's provoked. He knew they were good at making sewing stuff, but not at actually making clothes and the like.
  425. Mar 29 00:31:13 <Saryx> He more just wanted one as a resource buddy as he flopped about haphazardly with learning to art out of fabrics.
  426. Mar 29 00:31:27 <Saryx> But this looks like it's got something more to it!
  427. Mar 29 00:31:45 <voiceInTheSkyman> It seems a bit cautious about that but slowly nods.
  428. Mar 29 00:32:25 <Saryx> Then so he does! What can he figure out about this thing?
  429. Mar 29 00:33:03 <voiceInTheSkyman> It's pretty well made, sewn as if it had a needle and thread.
  430. Mar 29 00:33:14 <voiceInTheSkyman> It explains why you couldn't find it in the canopy, that's for sure
  431. Mar 29 00:33:18 <voiceInTheSkyman> This bug's a clever one
  432. Mar 29 00:35:16 <Saryx> Saryx' eyes light up as he gets a better understanding of how the thing was made. "This is... This is amazing! Do you like making these kinds of things, or was it just something to help keep you safe?" Gears. Turning. Cheesy Speech. Imminent.
  433. Mar 29 00:37:16 <voiceInTheSkyman> It's not reall sure how to answer that in a way you'd understand, so it just nods twice.
  434. Mar 29 00:40:39 <Saryx> "I see..." Saryx puts the Sewaddle back down on the ground. Actually, on top of his cooler. "Well, I like making things too!" He grabs his fishing pole/spear weapon, which he had put up on the side of the tree. "See this spear? Threw it together out of all sorts of pieces of scraps I found around Sandseeker. It might not be the prettiest thing, but for what it's worth, it's the
  435. Mar 29 00:40:39 <Saryx> best you'll come by!" He reaches into his shirt, pulling out the Horsea lure. "And my Dad told me this was the nicest piece of work he'd ever seen me make! He was real proud of it!" This... Might take a while if the Sewaddle lets him speak his piece.
  436. Mar 29 00:41:37 <voiceInTheSkyman> It admires the Horsea one more cause it looks like a Pokemon.
  437. Mar 29 00:41:48 <voiceInTheSkyman> and sorta tries to hug it like a teddybear

  440. Mar 29 00:43:03 <voiceInTheSkyman> Ooooo
  441. Mar 29 00:43:21 <voiceInTheSkyman> it would give you a thumbs up if it could. It likes secret weapons

As the best blacksmiths in all of Visiwa! If not all the world!" Saryx' eyes are,
  443. Mar 29 00:45:04 <Saryx> like, giant beaming stars of radiance at this point.
  444. Mar 29 00:45:33 <voiceInTheSkyman> It sorta claps in amazement
  445. Mar 29 00:47:24 <Saryx> "You like making things, too, don't you? Your coat is good. It's really good! Better than anything I could make right now, clothes-wise!" He points to the Sewaddle. "That's where I want you to come into the picture. Do you wanna spend your whole life just hiding in a tree, scared that everyone and everything ever is just gonna pick you up and eat you for dinner?"
  446. Mar 29 00:47:43 <voiceInTheSkyman> It shakes its head.
  447. Mar 29 00:50:21 <Saryx> "I didn't think so, either. So come on!" He reaches a hand out to the Sewaddle. "Join me! We can go on an adventure across the land! You, me, Surt, and all of our friends! See all new things, taste all new kinds of food, live waaay better than just nomming on leaves while cowering for your life in the hole of a tree!" ...

  451. Mar 29 00:51:57 <voiceInTheSkyman> Nod nod!

  459. Mar 29 00:55:16 <voiceInTheSkyman> Fero shakes his head and returns to swimming around
  460. Mar 29 00:55:41 <Saryx> "I got a little carried away is all... Sorry about that, Fero..."
  461. Mar 29 00:57:03 <Saryx> He re-claims his fishing pole and moves to the waters, plucking the lure of his off the ground. "We still got a fish to catch here, though, so you gotta be ready, okay? Let's hope we can get this done real quick."
  462. Mar 29 00:57:20 <voiceInTheSkyman> Vwiiiiisp

  465. Mar 29 00:58:29 <Saryx> "Whoa... What'd I even hit down there?" Tug tug. "... Fero, can you check what I got my line snagged on?"
  466. Mar 29 00:58:40 <voiceInTheSkyman> Fero ducks under for a bit
  467. Mar 29 00:58:54 <voiceInTheSkyman> He pops his head back up almost immediately and starts to squabble for you to come over
  468. Mar 29 00:59:03 <voiceInTheSkyman> pointing with his flipper and everything
  469. Mar 29 00:59:35 <Saryx> "Is it something big, Fero?" He approaches as requested.

  473. Mar 29 01:00:30 <voiceInTheSkyman> At first you think it's a human corpse...but then you realize it's a Pokemon. A dewott. It's wearing a mask similar to the ones the Stag Lords do. Your line hooked it.
  474. Mar 29 01:00:41 <voiceInTheSkyman> It seems injured and uncioncious at the bottom of the pool of water.
  475. Mar 29 01:01:54 <Saryx> "Wha?!?" Saryx jumps back at his initial reaction to the seemingly dead thing. He re-adjusts his glasses to get a better look, though. "... Wait, that's not a body..." Squint. "That's... Oh, man, that's a Pokemon down there!"
  476. Mar 29 01:02:33 <voiceInTheSkyman> Fero is like YEAH NO SHIT
  477. Mar 29 01:02:50 <voiceInTheSkyman> He's already trying to drag the guy out with his shitty little flippers
  478. Mar 29 01:03:15 <Saryx> *Sploosh* Saryx bends down in the water, and helps Fero get the poor thing out.
  479. Mar 29 01:03:30 <voiceInTheSkyman> It takes a little bit but you guys drag the Dewott to land.
  480. Mar 29 01:04:01 <voiceInTheSkyman> It seems to have multiple stab wounds...and its arms are clutched around a bloodied stick.
  481. Mar 29 01:04:12 <voiceInTheSkyman> The mask has a bit of blood on it as well.
  482. Mar 29 01:04:58 <Saryx> "Maaan, it looks really badly hurt! ... Waaait, hold on! I think I got something here!" Saryx goes into the cooler, starts rustling through. A few seconds later, he emerges with a Revive! ... Do these things still look like crystal star fragments?
  483. Mar 29 01:05:37 <voiceInTheSkyman> We'll say it's basically a potion in a flask
  484. Mar 29 01:06:50 <Saryx> Yeah, ummm... He was saving this for an emergency, but this looks like emergency enough to him!
  485. Mar 29 01:07:04 <Saryx> Potion: Applied!
  486. Mar 29 01:07:43 <voiceInTheSkyman> You had to move the mask aside to administer it.
  487. Mar 29 01:08:18 <voiceInTheSkyman> The Dewott slowly comes to, but freaks out when it realize you've touched it's mask, scurrying to its feet and backing away from you, stick clutched in one hand and a shell in the other.
  488. Mar 29 01:08:42 <voiceInTheSkyman> <What witchcraft is this? I live? Who are you? What have you done?>
  489. Mar 29 01:09:21 <Saryx> "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! No need to freak out--. . ." He staaares at the Dewott. "Wait you can talk?!?"
  490. Mar 29 01:09:40 <Saryx> So much for not freaking out. Saryx is totally taken aback by this after his slow moment.
  491. Mar 29 01:10:11 <Saryx> He holds his hands back, one holding the flask and the other the mask, in the 'We don't want to hurt you' or 'Put your hands in the air where I can see them' type of way.
  492. Mar 29 01:11:11 <voiceInTheSkyman> <I speak, yes. Many things speak. Why is this odd?> It starts to circle around you, weapons still drawn. <What have you done to bring me back? I seeked my absolution, my task complete.>
  493. Mar 29 01:13:13 <Saryx> "Well, I mean, like... You're a Pokemon. I haven't met many Pokemon yet who speak the same language as me! I mean, there was that one time, but that was something special, so it was more an exception than a rule, so this is... This just isn't something I'm used to is all!"
  494. Mar 29 01:14:24 <Saryx> "... You looked hurt down there, though! It looked like someone attacked you and left you down there to die, though... So I took out this thing I keep around in case of emergencies," waving the now mostly empty flask, "to heal you some."
  495. Mar 29 01:15:34 <voiceInTheSkyman> It groans. <I did not want this. My battle had been won. My kin avenged. Their slayer slain. This was to be my final resting place.>
  496. Mar 29 01:16:30 <voiceInTheSkyman> It lowers its weapons and sits, contemplating this wrench in its plans.
  497. Mar 29 01:17:46 <Saryx> "I'm sorry... I didn't know I was interrupting something... But why were you planning to go and off yourself anyways?" With the weapons unsheathed, he sticks the flask into his shirt pocket, and draws near, hands outstretched with the mask. "That doesn't seem to make much sense where I'm standing."
  498. Mar 29 01:18:18 <voiceInTheSkyman> It takes the mask back slowly, and puts it on.
  499. Mar 29 01:18:20 <Saryx> "... Actually, just... Go back to the start with this whole thing. Sounds something interesting."
  500. Mar 29 01:18:46 <Saryx> "And I don't think it's gonna make much sense if I just get the tail end clip of this all!"
  501. Mar 29 01:18:48 <voiceInTheSkyman> <You wish to hear my tale, young savior?>
  502. Mar 29 01:19:11 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Then first tell me your title. You are unlike the men who dwell these swamps. I know no kindness from your species.>
  503. Mar 29 01:20:31 <Saryx> "... Please." More as an add-on at the end of the last bit he said. He felt something awkward about not having been polite earlier. "My name's Saryx. Saryx Sylvestine. Craftsman in Training! Do you got a title of your own?"
  504. Mar 29 01:21:32 <voiceInTheSkyman> <I am Yurnero.>

  506. Mar 29 01:22:26 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Very well, Saryx. You shall hear my story.>
  507. Mar 29 01:23:12 <Saryx> "Yurnero? That's a real interesting name... It mean something special?" His head tilts, curious about that as well. "... Oh, pleasure to meet you, Yurnero! ... Though wish we could've met under better terms than... Well, this." He gestures to the lake.
  508. Mar 29 01:24:14 <voiceInTheSkyman> It uses the stick it carries to draw in the dirt as it narrorates its tale. It draws a pond, and a few little oshawott stick figures. <My kin dwelled in this swamp undisturbed for many generations. Some of our kind left, joined with men, but many remained.>
  509. Mar 29 01:24:47 <voiceInTheSkyman> he draws some humans with masks like the one he wears. <A man came one day, declaring us demons, and began to slaughter.> he starts to cross x's over the little oshawotts.
  510. Mar 29 01:25:47 <voiceInTheSkyman> <I was helpless but to watch. But the Young Goddess spoke to me. She empowered me with the strength to rebel.> He draws himself with a bubble around him. <I became the demon the man came to seek. He met his maker, and I stole his face.>
  511. Mar 29 01:26:05 <voiceInTheSkyman> <I did not walk away uninjured. I knew my time was short. I wandered here to...pass on.>
  512. Mar 29 01:26:10 <voiceInTheSkyman> <That is all.>
  513. Mar 29 01:26:30 <voiceInTheSkyman> (man came to slay* oops)
  514. Mar 29 01:27:01 <Saryx> Saryx listens intently, though he quickly frowns. "Yeah, the Stag Lords... Really had it out for all sorts of Pokemon..."
  515. Mar 29 01:29:03 <Saryx> His eyebrow raises up at the mention of the Young Goddess, though. "I'm real sorry your family had to suffer 'cause of them. I think they're not quite so misinformed any more, but... It's a bit late for that to matter to you, I think."
  516. Mar 29 01:29:43 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Revenge simply sows more revenge. I wished for absolution, but now I live as the last of my kin.>
  517. Mar 29 01:30:43 <voiceInTheSkyman> <This aimlessness is unsettling. I know not what to make of this gift.>
  518. Mar 29 01:34:47 <Saryx> "Again, i'm..." This comes out a bit awkwardly. "I'm sorry I got in the way of your plans... But you said you were empowered by a young Goddess? If she gave you power for something, and you still have it after... Well, I'd hope it wouldn't have been to do away with all the rest of the Stag Lords, but if you've still got your gift after what you set out to do, don't you think maybe
  519. Mar 29 01:34:47 <Saryx> she might have further plans for you or something?"

  521. Mar 29 01:35:41 <Saryx> "... What's the story with this Goddess anyways? And do you mean your... Ummm... Your voice when you talk about gifts? Or is there more to it than that?"
  522. Mar 29 01:35:55 <Saryx> -this +your
  523. Mar 29 01:36:18 <voiceInTheSkyman> He seems to consider this. <To serve the Young Goddess. Hm. That...feels...right.>
  524. Mar 29 01:36:51 <voiceInTheSkyman> He nods. <She changed my form. She gave me the all voice. She saved my life.>
  525. Mar 29 01:37:10 <voiceInTheSkyman> <I cannot describe in words the exchange. But I am grateful to her.>
  526. Mar 29 01:37:46 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Do you know where I can find her? I know not of her, but the name...came from here.> He holds a hand over his heart.

  528. Mar 29 01:38:12 <Saryx> "... And you thought to throw your life away after she gave it to you anew?" He really frownfaces at that.

  531. Mar 29 01:38:40 <voiceInTheSkyman> You get the impression he doesn't actually know what a god or goddess is
  532. Mar 29 01:38:45 <voiceInTheSkyman> Just that...something saved him
  533. Mar 29 01:39:33 <voiceInTheSkyman> He thinks for a bit, then presses his face to the ground in a bowing gesture. <I thank you for pointing out the error of my ways, Savior Saryx.>
  534. Mar 29 01:39:45 <voiceInTheSkyman> <This has been a most enlightening exchange.>
  535. Mar 29 01:41:34 <Saryx> "It was nothing real big, Yurnero..." He gets a goofy grin on his face, though. "... Savior Saryx, though... I like the way that sounds!" Finally someone respects him!
  536. Mar 29 01:44:41 <Saryx> "As per your Goddess, though... Well, there's a lot of things that could've given you this new strength. Might not necessarily be a God or anything. ... But, well, if it is... This might sound weird, but me and some friends of mine are also working for a couple different Gods. Maybe if you want, you can come with us! Don't think I could make any promises, but if your Goddess really
  537. Mar 29 01:44:41 <Saryx> is out there, perhaps you can meet her and you'll get a chance to thank her proper for saving your life!"
  538. Mar 29 01:45:26 <Saryx> "I got a feeling we're gonna run into all sorts of Gods and the like on the mess we've gotten ourselves into!"
  539. Mar 29 01:45:32 <voiceInTheSkyman> He seriously contemplates this for a long while silently.
  540. Mar 29 01:45:40 <voiceInTheSkyman> <May I speak freely, Savior Saryx?>
  541. Mar 29 01:45:50 <Saryx> "Certainly, Yurnero!"
  542. Mar 29 01:46:20 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Her gift has given me the power to see that you speak true, and that you are an individual of great potential.>
  543. Mar 29 01:48:20 <Saryx> "She... She did?!?" His ego's starting to swell up a bit~ "... Well, that's all the more reason for me to make her acquaintance if she speaks so highly of me!" He lets out a bit of a laugh.
  544. Mar 29 01:48:30 <voiceInTheSkyman> <It also allows me to see you lack in other areas.>
  545. Mar 29 01:48:33 <Saryx> make her acquaintance myself**
  546. Mar 29 01:50:03 <Saryx> Ouch. ... Well, so much for that. It's as if gravity instantly intensified as Saryx' head drops, letting out a pained "D'aaaauuuggghhhhh...."
  547. Mar 29 01:50:15 <voiceInTheSkyman> <While there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, your self strays too far to the other side.>
  548. Mar 29 01:50:36 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Not to mention confidence, maturity...>
  549. Mar 29 01:50:51 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Face it, you're sort of a loser.>
  550. Mar 29 01:51:51 <voiceInTheSkyman> <I fear this may stem from your choice in companions as well. Do they challenge you to face these weaknesses? These skills can be gained, can they not?>
  551. Mar 29 01:52:24 <voiceInTheSkyman> <If you wish for me to accompany you, you must prove yourself in combat to me.>
  552. Mar 29 01:52:34 <Saryx> He springs up, gone from crushed to infuriated in all of an instant. "And just who is this Goddess, anyways?!? Now I really wanna meet her so I can give her a piece of my mind!" He mad now, bro!
  553. Mar 29 01:53:09 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Savior Saryx, who is to say it was not meant for you to find me today to show you your error as you've shown me mine?>
  554. Mar 29 01:54:59 <voiceInTheSkyman> He slowly stands. <Anger is a good start. Shall we see who is in the right, then?>
  555. Mar 29 01:55:12 <Saryx> "Well... Well, ummm..." He just lets out another suffering-filled "Unnnnnghhhh...", unable to refute that point, and sulks over to his spear. "Let's just... Let's get this over with, then!"
  556. Mar 29 01:55:45 <voiceInTheSkyman> He raises the wooden plank toward you, and a shell in the other hand. <Do not disapoint me, Savior Saryx. Prove me wrong. I challenge you.>
  557. Mar 29 01:56:00 <voiceInTheSkyman> His eyes begin to glow, your phone begins to flash a warning.
  558. Mar 29 01:56:13 <voiceInTheSkyman> "WARNING. WARNING. FIEND OF VISIWA DETECTED."

  563. Mar 29 01:57:24 <voiceInTheSkyman> He did also doubt your choice of companions!
  564. Mar 29 01:58:15 <Saryx> "... Waaait... Just me? Or do you want me to bring out my Pokemon, too?"
  565. Mar 29 01:58:37 <Saryx> He's gotta ask.
  566. Mar 29 01:58:58 <voiceInTheSkyman> <Yes. The Pokemon who accompany you. Show me your potential.>

  685. Mar 29 02:26:19 <Yurnero> He looks to Fero, and attempts to slash at the assailent the best he can

  687. Mar 29 02:26:39 <DiceMaid-9001> Yurnero, razor shell: 6 [1d20=6]
  688. Mar 29 02:26:43 <Saryx> Saryx is panting heavily himself, not faring much better than Yurnero is.
  689. Mar 29 02:26:51 <Saryx> Good news: That hits!
  690. Mar 29 02:26:54 <Yurnero> 3d8+30

  693. Mar 29 02:27:25 <Yurnero> (mein gott what has I done)
  694. Mar 29 02:27:28 <Yurnero> <What?>
  695. Mar 29 02:27:36 <Yurnero> <I don't understand. Stupid fish!>
  696. Mar 29 02:28:51 <Saryx> "He's distracted! See if you can't finish him, Surt!"
  697. Mar 29 02:29:10 <Saryx> Surt does a roundabout, and launches a clump of mud at Yurnero!
  698. Mar 29 02:29:13 <Saryx> 1d20 Mud Bomb!
  699. Mar 29 02:29:14 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, Mud Bomb!: 15 [1d20=15]
  700. Mar 29 02:29:19 <Yurnero> bam!
  701. Mar 29 02:29:27 <Saryx> 3d8+22 Ground, and -1 to AC!
  702. Mar 29 02:29:28 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, Ground, and -1 to AC!: 41 [3d8=3,8,8]
  703. Mar 29 02:29:51 <Yurnero> Yurnero falls to one knee as the clump of earthen matter hits him. He drops his weapons.
  704. Mar 29 02:29:57 <Yurnero> <I...concede.>
  705. Mar 29 02:30:45 <Yurnero> <You have much to learn, as do I, but I see now your faults do not lie on the battlefield.>
  706. Mar 29 02:31:14 <Saryx> Saryx looses a sigh of relief. ... With Yurnero basically sitting right there in front of him, it's not too much more effort to reach a hand out to him.
  707. Mar 29 02:31:50 <Yurnero> He grips it and stands slowly.
  708. Mar 29 02:34:33 <Saryx> "Heheh... Thanks, Yurnero!" He pulls Yurnero up and clutches at his chest. "You're... rrrk!... Not lacking in combat skills any yourself!"
  709. Mar 29 02:36:58 <Yurnero> The energy around him seems to fade some as his eyes stop glowing behind the mask. <How does...this work? I see the others are housed within a sphere of sorts.>
  710. Mar 29 02:38:49 <Saryx> "You're right, though... Someone blessed you with power... A Legendary Pokemon... Maybe one of the Forgotten Ones... But you're right. Something gave you your strength!" ... He stops to think on what Yurnero's getting at here, and lightbulb! "Oh, you mean the PokeBalls?" He pulls out his last one. ... Damnit this means Saryx is gonna need to get more money to replace those.
  711. Mar 29 02:38:49 <Saryx> ... FUCK.
  712. Mar 29 02:40:57 <Saryx> "I still find these things weird, but they're how Trainers are supposed to carry their Pokemon... So... Yeah..."
  713. Mar 29 02:41:46 <Yurnero> <I know her voice. It is all that can guide me.>
  714. Mar 29 02:42:02 <Yurnero> He looks at the device curiously, not really sure what to do. He's never seen one before now.
  715. Mar 29 02:42:47 <Yurnero> Or, rather, never even been aware of their existance.
  716. Mar 29 02:43:28 <Saryx> "Just tap it! It works, and it's less painful than what happens to the Pokemon who don't cooperate, I imagine. When people try to catch Pokemon, they usually just chuck 'em at their heads! ... And then still expect them to be friends later. I'm not sure if it's weirder that they do that, or that it actually works!"
  717. Mar 29 02:43:59 <Saryx> Yeah, Saryx, he... Doesn't into PokeBalls. Tech ain't high enough for that yet.
  718. Mar 29 02:44:28 <Yurnero> <Like...uh....>
  719. Mar 29 02:44:30 <Yurnero> He clicks it, VWOOP
  720. Mar 29 02:44:45 <Yurnero> The ball glows an odd color briefly, before it teleports to the global networks.
  721. Mar 29 02:44:58 <Saryx> "... Maaan, I should've told him about--" Saryx staaare.
  722. Mar 29 02:45:15 <Saryx> "... DAMNIT I GOTTA GET BACK TO THE POKEMON CENTER!"
  723. Mar 29 02:46:44 <Yurnero> Fero just
  724. Mar 29 02:46:45 <Yurnero> facefins
  725. Mar 29 02:46:50 <Yurnero> God this trainer of his is so stupid
  726. Mar 29 02:47:10 <Saryx> "Don't give me that look, Fero!"
  727. Mar 29 02:48:48 <Yurnero> He SIGHS and follows you back to the Pokecenter.
  728. Mar 29 02:49:59 <Saryx> Saryx spends the whole trip back arguing with Fero.
  729. Mar 29 02:50:19 <Yurnero> annnd </minis>
