Narrator: 	>_>
DNA: 	^.^
Grace:
Grace: 	...huh.
Narrator: 	So I called and woke up Avara.
Avara has connected.
Grace: 	Welcome to the land of the livin' hun!
Narrator: 	The party is here!
Grace: 	It's always wherever I"m at. B)
Narrator: 	Awright errybuddy. We all ret to start?!
	Ma-Nyeo: 	It's Friday the 13th, bring it on!
Narrator: 	Murrrrrderrrr tiiiiiiiime
Grace: 	*Sharp violin noises play*
Avara: 	hi
DNA: 	*dabs respectfully*
Avara: 	ugh, brb groceries
Narrator: 	Anyone need to recap?
DNA: 	We bandaged Gary's hand and managed to talk him out of his funk. In return we promised to visit this girl named Irene who he sent on the way to Pallet who may or may not have gotten herself killed (but probably not). So we're heading south to rendezvous there.
Avara: 	back
June 1st, Sunday.
82 degrees with a 68 degree humidity. It feels hot and humid.
There's an 8mph wind blow north, northwest.
It is raining.
Time: 2:55 PM
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo stands still, staring at the others.
	Miss Mallow: 	"We're to go south then, correct?"
	Cassiopeia: 	"That's right. We need to find that girl Irene, whom Gary sent away empty-handed."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Can we catch pokemon now? Are we trainers?"
	Sarah: 	"Well, first I think we need to go bug the jenny about the license first. I'd rather not get bodied by us exploring."
	Cassiopeia: 	"Ah, that would allow you to use your newly acquired Riolu."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Were we supposed to, is Gary going to do that?"
	Cassiopeia: 	"Gary did state in his agreement that he would give us our licenses if we found Irene for him. But if Sarah wants a head start I won't object."
	Hotaru: 	I think what Oak wanted was to test us before our licenses."
	Hotaru: 	"Send us to pallet and back again, then see if we got it pulled off without the extra pokemon."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"We can do that, certainly?"
	Sarah: 	"There's also that benefit! I wanna met the little critter that's new to my team too. But Considering we know a jenny is bothering the nurse back at the PC, I think we should ask her first if this is a test or not."
	Miss Mallow: 	"I haven't fought since we first met, Ma-Nyeo. But for us, I'm sure I can."
	Sarah: 	"That and we might meet some critters you might like to catch! So it wouldn't hurt to visit the PC before we head out... that's probably a habit we need to get doin' anywho."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Lets go?"
	Sarah: 	"Forward, and then outward!"
	Hotaru: 	"Alright. To the Center, then out."
	Cassiopeia: 	"All right."
	Hotaru: 	"... Do any of you happen to know anything about Ralts-line pokemon?"
	Sarah: 	"I know one can be suprisingly tough!"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"A little."
	Cassiopeia: 	"Ralts... Small green empathetic creatures that sense feeling from red horns on their bodies?"
	Sarah: 	"I tink' that's the fancy way o' puttin' it ye."
	Hotaru: 	"Yeah. I was always told I'd probably be good with a Gardevoir. Now that I'm almost a trainer, I'm kind of curious what they're like."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Do I know Ralts? Cunning Pokemon Lore 2+5+6+6=19
	Sarah: 	Sarah will wave down the nurse. "Excuse me! Did you see which way the officer went?"
	Cassiopeia: 	"I've seen a few though I've never had the pleasure of using one."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"There's a ralts!"
	Sarah: 	"...hm. I think that's one right there actually. Speak of Giratina..."
* Cassiopeia looks around. "Oh, so there is. But that's odd..."
	Sarah: 	"Doh, I don't tink' it's suppose ta be blue?"
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru quickly approached the Ralts, but stopped a few feet away from its territory, squatting down to look at it closer to eye-to-eye.
	Sarah: 	Sarah's more interested in chatting with the nurse at the moment first.
	Ralts: 	Ralts pauses and slowly looks over to Hotaru. Considering her size, she looked up at Hotaru, revealing her bright red eyes.
	Cassiopeia: 	Cunning into Pokemon Lore: Any reason(s) why that Ralts would be blue? 2+3+2+3=10 (STUNT! 2 Stunt Points)
	Miss Mallow: 	"Would you like a translator?"
	Cassiopeia: 	Speedy Search (halves the time taken)
Ralts whispers: No clue. Perhaps this one is special?
	Hotaru: 	"Hi there," Hotaru said, her hands on the floor--when the fairy pokemon offered to translate for the fairy pokemon, she looked back and nodded before looking at Ralts again. "Hello. I'm Hotaru of the Joy family. Who might you be?"
	Miss Mallow: 	Miss Mallow translates, keeping in a polite tone.
	Ralts: 	Ralts places her hands on her hips and tilts her head to the side with a sigh. She snaps her finger in front of her as she looked down at the ground at her side briefly, "Absolute Supreme Queen Otomo of the Appara family line. Number 3128 in the family line and the first perfect breed."
DNA: 	Is that spoken in human language?
	Ralts: 	"It is good that a pink haired human is kneeling before me. You know your betters. You have a request for your mistress?"
Ralts: (( It is indeed. ))
* DNA low whistle
DNA: 	I love it.
	Hotaru: 	"I was hoping I might convince you to come with me, actually. To conquer this region and spread truth and glory."
	Sarah: 	Sarah will be guffawing once the wording actually registers in her head. "HAHAHAHAHA! I like her! She's got some spunk! HAHAHA!" Suzy is just gonna keep her eyes curiuosly on ralts.
	Ralts: 	Ralts pauses for a moment, momentarrily stunned before she lifts a hand over her mouth and laughs delightfully, "Oh what fun it must be to have nothing better to do than to make hilarious jokes."
* Cassiopeia doesn't say anything yet, but keeps her finger on her chin as if deep in thought.
	Ralts: 	Ralts waits for the punchline, but when it doesn't come, looks serious, "...You weren't kidding, human?"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo fidgets, watching the ralts with a smile!
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru, meanwhile, isn't laughing. She doesn't buy that Otomo was the supreme queen of anything, but she seemed fun. "I'm not joking. I don't know about this 'perfect breed' stuff, but I like you already. You sound like you'd be good to have along, and I want to fight for the Championship. Which, in the long run, literally is ruling over the humans of the region."
	Sarah: 	Sarah meanwhile is busting a gut in the corner at how this conversation is going. Suzy moved to lay on Sarah's back considering she's doubled over clutching her gut.
	Ralts: 	Ralts crosses her arms now, no longer jubilant, "...Hah. If this were a decade ago, I might have fallen for something like this. You humans are a dying breed. Practically endangered in the grand scheme of things. You struggle and writhe, trying to fight against natural selection. It'd be cute - if not for your tiresome arrogance. This pathetic human town is safe merely because I deem it so. The Pokémon here are my subjects. I have no need of a human companion - let alone one who thinks them my better. Your days are numbered. Begone." Ralts waves her hand dismissively at Hotaru and doesn't even bother to give her the respect of looking at her while doing so.
	Hotaru: 	"Our days are numbered? You talk a funny game, 'queen'. This group is a resurgence of power and spirit. Yes, the humans were dying before, but that's the thing. Where Pokemon adapted to be powerful at the fore, humans adapted into beings with one goal and one guarantee: Survival. They'll be back at the top sooner or later. I'd rather be at their helm than under their feet."
Grace: 	I'm sorry guys but brb. I have to go on a food run because my roommate didn't bring anything back tonight and if *I* don't, we won't have anything to eat.
You whisper to Narrator: Perception Empathy - What is that Ralts feeling, or is going through its head? 4+4+2+5
Ralts: (( Sounds terrible. And possibly suicidal for the rest of your group. ))
You whisper to Narrator: Total 15, with 4 stunt points. Not sure what I'd spend those on.
Grace: 	(you can continue, just have me tag along behind or something.)
You whisper to Narrator: I guess Tower of Will, I can't think of anything else I'd use right now.
Ralts whispers: You get the sense that she isn't bluffing about anything she's said thus far. Whether or not she actually is a queen, or merely believes herself to be - or even if she's a perfect breed - you aren't quite sure. But she's confident in herself and deems the entire Viridian City to be her territory.
	Ralts: 	"You speak with such confidence - yet, if rumors are to be believed, it was a human to heralded your undoing. Rather unpleasant to know that your fragile rule could be shaken so easily. Fight if you must, but I have my own plans. And it involves no human ordering me around."
Avara: 	can i make a comm check?
Narrator: 	If its for anything previous - no.
Narrator: 	You can make one for something moving forward. But I also need to know what exactly for.
	Hotaru: 	"Maybe. But I think it'd be good to have your insight--if you'd listened to my words, you'd notice i never said anything about Training you or Bossing you around. A human at the helm of a herd of pokemon wrought our previous rule's end. A pokemon working alongside a human-like would be better prepared to counter that sort of threat. I want you to rule with me not for me."
Narrator: (( I was waiting on a check or something. But I'm guessing not happening? ))
Avara: 	waiting for a confirm
Narrator: 	I answered you already.
Hotaru: (( you usually specify the focus ))
	Hotaru: 	Doing the thing 4+4+5+2=15 (STUNT! 4 Stunt Points)
Narrator: 	Well, yes. What exactly are you trying to do? That changes the focus.
Avara: 	trying to shift her idea of what working with hotaru would entail.
Narrator: 	Persuasion
Avara: 	checked, i don't have a focus. pulling up stunts.
Avara: 	uugh. loading times. maybe i should get a new laptop.
Avara: 	spending stunt points on flirt
	Hotaru: 	"Besides, I doubt I'll find anyone as cute to rule beside me, nor as elegant once you've reached your full potential. I couldn't help stopping by to ask."
	Ralts: 	6+6+2+4=18
	Hotaru: 	seduction vs will 3+1+5+2=11
DNA: 	The dice have spoken
Avara: 	dat resist
	Ralts: 	"Aww, oh I'm sorry." Ralts says gently tracing the horn upon her head, "Even humans cannot resist my charms. It's such a curse."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"It's true, you're cute."
	Ralts: 	"But your pestering tires me. I'd like to tear your flesh off and see what makes you tick. However..." Ralts paces in a circle for a moment.
	Ralts: 	"I do want to conquer the region. And I always get what I want."
	Ralts: 	"Tell you what, human. Prove your worth to me, and I just may travel with you. Under the pretense that every human settlement bows down before me and declares me their ruler. Perhaps not in so many words. I know you humans sometimes have it difficult to recognize royalty when it isn't crushing you into paste."
	Hotaru: 	"What sort of test do you have in mind?" Hotaru asked, rising to her feet in readiness for whatever was to come. "If it's the typical battle, we'll have a go. If you've got something more unique in mind, I'd like to hear your terms."
	Cassiopeia: 	Was there another contest about to begin? Well now, this was interesting. Cassiopeia readied her Beldum to record yet another fantastic spar in the making.
	Ralts: 	"A battle? With me?" Ralts grins, "Ohhh, how bold this human. She doesn't even realize I could gather the towns Pokemon with a single shout." Ralts waggles her finger before her, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. No, human. No need for that. I have something much better in mind."
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru inclined her head a bit, listening without talking.
	Ralts: 	"You will visit the human town called Pallet to the south. There, you will find another Appara hidden among the beach. She regularly bends humans and other Pokémon their to her will. They pay her tribute to fish in the waters there. She asks not for much, so there's never actual contest brought against her. She's pathetic. Wealthy, but pathetic."
	Ralts: 	"End my dear grandmother. She brings shame upon the Appara family name and deserves it. Then, among her spoils you will bring me a Rare Candy. Abide by my conditions and I will travel with you."
	Hotaru: 	"Very well. Your challenge is accepted. Fortuitously, we were going to go to Pallet regardless. Have a good afternoon, Your Majesty."
	Ralts: 	Ralts grins when Hotaru agrees and returns to her gaze to the waters.
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru heads back towards the Center, since they were checking the licenses thing before going.
Avara: 	ma-nyeao why
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo stares in the water next to Ralts. "... what's there?"
Avara: 	why in the grass
	Ralts: 	Ralts looks up at Ma-Nyeo and snaps her fingers, "Foolish human."
	Hotaru: 	"Ma-Nyan, back on the pavement!"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Oh, right."
The Pokémon in the waters quickly swim toward the grass.
	Ralts: 	3+4+2+5=14
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo steps up, takes one step back, before sitting back down.
	Ralts: 	Ralts loses 4 power points.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"What are you looking at?"
	Ralts: 	Ralts gains 1 Aura.
	Ralts: 	Ralts gains 1 Resistance.
	Hotaru: 	"Keep backing up."
	Ralts: 	Ralts looks back at Hotaru then to Ma-Nyeo, "You should listen to your mistress. You'll live longer."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo looks at Hotaru, then back at the water. (waiting to see if anything happens before further reacting)
Avara: 	mistress. interesting.
Avara: 	permission to move?
Narrator: 	Go ahead.
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru walks up to Ma-Nyan, trying to drag her back towards the group.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Uwah!" Ma-Nyeo is picked up to her feet and dragged backward waving her arms.
	Miss Mallow: 	Miss Mallow returns and climbs Ma-Nyeo's shoulder.
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru puts Ma-Nya in front of the Center door.
	Hotaru: 	"I'm going to have to have a talk with you about respecting Pokemon land, aren't I?"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"I thought we just attacked them and put them into pokeballs."
	Ralts: 	Ralts grins and looks around, "Kaal an axa un shan."
	Ralts: 	Ralts loses 3 power points.
	Miss Mallow: 	Translation please?
You whisper to Narrator: What did she say?
	Hotaru: 	"Not in pack territory! Cities and some wildlands have pokemon divide up into groups under one ruler."
Ralts whispers: Keep an eye on them.
Ralts shimmers with a pink aura before vanishing instantly from sight.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Oh." there was a pause, "She was serious?"
	Deep Blue: 	"...It would appear that the Ralts did not give an idle boast, about having the Pokemon here under her command."
	Hotaru: 	"Her title's a bit overstated for ruling over all of Pewter, but she could easily be the one every pokemon in town follows."
	Deep Blue: 	"Her last statement translates roughly to 'Keep an eye on them'."
	Hotaru: 	"Or just that patch of grass and water. Who knows? Not us."
	Hotaru: 	"Unless you know what set of rules an area is under, don't push your luck."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Oh... okay..."
	Cassiopeia: 	"I agree. We can't really be taking chances right now, at least not this early."
	Hotaru: 	"I'd rather not have someone as fluffy as you die. You look like you're fun to hug."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	*blush*
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo blushes bright. Then nods with certain agreement. "I wont die, even if you kill me."
	Hotaru: 	"Don't make me test that, then. Let's go inside."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo follows!
Inside the Pokemon Center you find Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny sitting in the lounge area watching television.
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru would wait for a commercial break, if there was one.
	Nurse Joy: 	"So, like I said - Maki Horikita isn't type-cast like you think."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Hah, whatever you say Urigo. Aside from her early work she's just a pretty face being super girly. At least Kyoko Fukada plays the role of both men and women."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Gender swap dramas aren't the same thing as a woman playing the role of a man in a film!"
Grace: 	Sarah will lean over to Hotaru, "Are... you sure you wanna have that lil' gremlin coming along with us? She's more than just a 'little' high maintenance."
	Sarah: 	^
	Officer Jenny: 	"I fail to see the difference. actually, it might be even better! She's playing a woman in a film who's playing a guy in the films world. So she's like, doublecast!"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"She did tell us where to find a relative. We can catch the relative!"
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru shrugged at Sarah. "I'm curious to see how much of that persona is an act for her followers, if I'm entirely honest. And she sounds like she'd be great at intimidating other pokemon into obeying her whims."
	Nurse Joy: 	Nurse Joy looks over to your group at the mention of 'relative', "Oh, Hotaru - how did things go?"
	Hotaru: 	"Good news confusing news?"
	Officer Jenny: 	"He wasn't in his basement was he? He was upstairs, dusting his shitty ass house, right?"
	Nurse Joy: 	"JANET!!"
	Hotaru: 	"Good news, Gary's probably going to get therapy soonish. Confusing news, he said he'll give us our things once we do an errand for him, which involves going to Pallet and back. Nope, basement."
	Officer Jenny: 	"...I regret nothing."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"He attacked us. He wasn't happy."
	Hotaru: 	"We're here asking if we need the license to do the thing, basically."
	Officer Jenny: 	Officer Jenny stands up, "Who's dead and who needs Urigo's rescue powers?"
	Hotaru: 	"Nobody and also nobody."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Impossible!"
	Hotaru: 	"We're good at making people stop trying to kill us."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"No one. His pokemon didn't listen and all he did was cut his hand open on a glass. We bandaged him."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Look, I don't think Gary would...meaningly...attack unlicensed children."
	Officer Jenny: 	Officer Jenny blinks and looks around, "...What children?"
	Nurse Joy: 	Nurse Joy facepalms, "..habit."
	Hotaru: 	"No, we gathered that he wasn't in his right mind. We're not pressing charges."
* Cassiopeia looks around at her group. I'm pretty sure none of them were children.
	Cassiopeia: 	*she's
	Sarah: 	"To be fair, SOMEONE was kinda antagonizing him when he was in a bad state of mind. Also he pointed out that you could help us get the paperwork done Officer?"
	Hotaru: 	"We stopped him attacking anyone, his pokemon didn't WANT to attack us, either."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Paperwork for what? Licenses? Isn't that what Gary was supposed to be doing for you guys?"
	Hotaru: 	"That's what I said."
	Nurse Joy: 	"It's the hope that Nadia had anyway. Did it go awfully? Is he being a butt about it?"
	Sarah: 	"Though not gonna front here, the antagonizing help get him through. Kinda blunt shock brought him back. And he just politely told us to go do a thing. He said before that, to ask you. And I'd rather check first before we head south to check on a missing person."
	Hotaru: 	"He wants us to go to Pallet, check on this girl that spat in his face, and come back with news about her not being dead yet."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Spat in his-IRENE!"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Then he said he'd license us!"
	Hotaru: 	"Yes, that one."
	Officer Jenny: 	"The one with that Mag-"
	Nurse Joy: 	"Don't Janet. She was sensitive about it."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Well, if he tasked you with a thing to get a license then he's gonna want you to do that thing so he can give you his license."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Licenses only allow you to have more than 1 Pokemon at a time. It's a caretakers rule to stop idiots from breeding thousands of Pokemon. I mean, we're already swimming in them!"
	Nurse Joy: 	"Mufufufu..."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Shut up you."
	Hotaru: 	"Thank you. Sorry we had to interrupt your date. We'll be back with more glorious news in time. And maybe a ralts, maybe not."
	Sarah: 	Sarah will rub the back of her head. 'Fair enough! Just thought I'd double check."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Date? What date? No one's on a date!"
	Officer Jenny: 	"You're on a date!"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Do you know about that ralts?"
	Hotaru: 	"... Your face is a date my cousin's on."
	Nurse Joy: 	Nurse Joy calmly runs a finger through her hair and stands up to go behind the counter.
* Hotaru giggles at the stupid joke.
	Officer Jenny: 	"Nuh uhn! Sooooo, ralts? The blue one? Or the green one?"
	Nurse Joy: 	"There's also the pink one."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Blue one"
	Sarah: 	Sarah will face palm at the joke, but will still be chuckling. "B-b-blue..."
	Hotaru: 	"Blue. There's a green and pink one?"
	Cassiopeia: 	"Seems like a bit more information is in order."
	Hotaru: 	"We should get to meet all of them before we make any final decisions, probably."
	Nurse Joy: 	"There's several Ralts in the area though the blue one, dubbed Queen Appara, is the local one typically encountered here in Viridian."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"She told the local pokemon to keep an eye on us."
	Nurse Joy: 	"As long as you treat her with respect, like most other pokemon in the city, she'll be cordial with you. Thankfully, she never addresses humans first so she's pretty much never causing trouble."
	Hotaru: 	"Would things be better or worse if we got Queen Appara to leave town with us next time we're in town?"
You whisper to Narrator: Would it be a Perception check to see if 'Queen Appara' was being genuine on her bargain offer?
	Officer Jenny: 	"She doesn't cause any trouble so uh, dunno?"
Officer Jenny whispers: Not now. She's no longer here for you to study.
	Hotaru: 	"I don't want to cause trouble. But she did offer us a challenge in Pallet as well, to earn her companionship."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"She asked us to kill her grandmama."
	Officer Jenny: 	"She's definitely a force of personality!"
	Hotaru: 	"Again. We're good at convincing people to not kill us."
	Nurse Joy: 	"I don't know who her grandmother is - but make sure the town of Pallet is okay with murdering a pokemon in town that hasn't attacked you."
	Hotaru: 	"Aye-aye."
	Nurse Joy: 	"If they are against it, you'll end up exiled and that would be bad."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"I was thinking it would be better to attack her and put her in one of these pokeballs. I think that's how being a trainer works, I'm new..."
	Hotaru: 	"Who are the other Raltses in the area?"
	Officer Jenny: 	"Come to think of it, the pink one...wasn't she obsessed with power and fighting everything in sight?"
	Cassiopeia: 	"I have a feeling that reasoning or catching the relative might be a smarter idea. We don't have any guarantee that Otomo will keep her word, and I have an odd feeling she won't. But that's only a hunch."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Getting stronger I think her words were. And it was formal challenges. Not random attacks like you make it sound."
	Hotaru: 	"Where is she? She sounds fun too."
	Officer Jenny: 	"The pink one is typically in the forest. By the large body of water."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	((HEY EVERYONE! LETS GO NORHT!))
	Officer Jenny: 	"The green one can be seen sometimes in Route 1. But she's really rare."
DNA: 	Silence Ma-Nyeo
	Nurse Joy: 	"Usually around the time children go missing, I think. I hope she's not connected..."
	Officer Jenny: 	"Wait, that's still a thing in Pallet? Are you kidding me?!"
	Nurse Joy: 	Nurse Joy shrugs, "It was last I heard?"
	Hotaru: 	"Ahh. Alright, then. We'll look into that. I should probably see about getting together an apology offering if we decide to fail the challenge, for Otomo. Proper respect and all that."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo's eyes grow wide, "She's involved with missing children? That sounds mysterious we need to find her!"
	Officer Jenny: 	"I've got a Jenny that needs yelling at!" Officer Jenny salutes you guys, "See ya, chumps!"
	Officer Jenny: 	Officer Jenny exits the building.
	Hotaru: 	"We'll go up north once we're done licensing."
	Cassiopeia: 	"She might be involved with missing children. There's nothing to say for sure, but we'd have to investigate if we want to find out."
	Sarah: 	Sarah will pause for a few moments watching the Jenny book it. Turning to the Nurse, "Sorry about breakin' up your date."
	Hotaru: 	"... She's good for you, Uri. You'll make beautiful children together one day."
	Cassiopeia: 	"So, do we have anything left to do here in Viridian? Or should we head out?"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"I'm too excited to sleep, lets go." Ma-Nyeo smiles broadly.
	Sarah: 	"Yeah, I got nothin' left to do, so let's get a movin'!"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"What is the safest way out of town?"
	Hotaru: 	"Ready to go. Stick to the stone paths."
Avara: 	tele to route 1, or walk?
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Walk, there is a child I want to scare.
Narrator: 	Give a walk.
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru departs from the Center, waving at her cousin.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo sees a small girl and walks over, kneeling down. Completely ignoring the woman beside her.
	Hotaru: 	"... Someone needs to put Ma-Nyan on a leash and collar.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Hello little girl, I heard there were missing children, did you know any of them?"
	Hotaru: 	"Mana, stop!"
	Child 3: 	"Bwuhbuh?!?!"
	Child 3: 	Child 3 spins to see Ma-Nyeo, "Agh!! GHOST POKEMON!"
	Sarah: 	Sarah's gonna try to grab onto Ma's ear to try and pull her away.
	Woman 1: 	"!" Woman 1 turns to glare at Ma-Nyeo and then pats her chest, "Oh, it's okay darling. They're just trainers."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Fweh?" Ma-Nyeo looks for the ghost pokemon before getting dragged off.
	Sarah: 	"Don't scare da kids! There's already enouh scary tings out there!"
	Hotaru: 	"Ma'am, I apologize for my companion's behavior. She's new at doing people things."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"O-oh! I'm sorry!" Ma-Nyeo bows deeply and repeatedly. "I didn't mean to bother you I'll go away forever now."
	Sarah: 	Sarah will then flick Ma on the forehead. "And quit appologizin' hun! No need to appologize when there isn't an issue. Don't worry! By the end of this, I'mma whip some confidance inta ya!"
	Woman 1: 	"Uh...o-kay, trainer with the pinkachu."
	Miss Mallow: 	"She has pleanty of confidence, she just needs a little more people sense."
Narrator: 	pikachu*
DNA: 	inb4 triggered
	Miss Mallow: 	"Hello, yes I am Pikachu. It is nice to meet you."
	Sarah: 	"Then I'll knock that into her then! Thanks lil' fella!"
	Woman 1: 	"!"
Woman 1 recoils, "Chu's don't human!?!?!"
	Hotaru: 	"This one does. And so does the beldum over there."
	Child 3: 	"It's a chattachu!"
	Deep Blue: 	"I would think my kind speaking the human language is a common occurrence."
	Woman 1: 	"I...uh...are...are you heroes?"
	Hotaru: 	"That's kind of a dirty word, isn't it?"
	Miss Mallow: 	"My name is Miss Mallow, and I have been with my trainer for over ten years. I have learned her language in that time."
	Cassiopeia: 	"Don't flatter yourself." Cassiopeia nudges her Beldum.
	Child 3: 	"Oh oh oh, like the heroes of light! In the final crisis series?!?! Can they do transformations?!?!?"
	Woman 1: 	"Oh not...not THAT kind of hero."
	Sarah: 	Sarah will pause before squatting low, and putting a finger up to her lips. "It's a secret hun!"
	Hotaru: 	"We're Trainers, like you said. Just starting out, but we're going to try and bring back what a trainer is meant to be. Saviors and adventurers who do the impossible."
	Cassiopeia: 	"That's a shame. I wanted to show off my transformation sequence."
	Child 3: 	Child 3's eyes sparkle like only a child in awe of magical fantasy can, "Saaaaaaaaaaaaaviors!" Child 3 squeals in an epic and earpiercing manner unique only to small children.
	Woman 1: 	Woman 1 frowns, "...this is my life now...thanks..."
	Miss Mallow: 	"But we did hear about missing children in this town. And my overeager trainer was probably trying to find out more information."
	Hotaru: 	"You're welcome. Better than her running off after whatever group wants to be Team Rocket next year."
	Woman 1: 	Woman 1 raises an eyebrow, "Missing children? In Viridian? ...Are you...are you...like...sure?"
	Hotaru: 	"In the forest."
	Miss Mallow: 	"Not at all, it was simply a rumor."
	Woman 1: 	"Missing children? In the forest? What?"
	Woman 1: 	"This is news to me. When did it start?"
	Hotaru: 	"We don't know, really. Once we're able, we're going to be going to investigate. Keep your kid away from the forest."
	Child 3: 	"But...that's where the fun joys live...and that red haired boy who punches wood..."
	Sarah: 	"We'll look into it when we can, so you can go back to meeting them."
	Hotaru: 	"I love my cousins too, but they'd want you to be safe, right?"
	Woman 1: 	"How...do you still remember-I mean, right. Yes. Forest. Baaad. Full of scary roaming childnappers! Like...like uh...ghost...pokemon. The balloon kind!"
	Child 3: 	"But I like balloons...they make me immune to ground type."
	Woman 1: 	"I...they....but..."
	Deep Blue: 	"A Ground-type immunity is always appreciated."
	Woman 1: 	"What're they teaching you in that school?"
	Hotaru: 	"If you want I can pass along a message to them when we get there. But don't go running into the forest until it's safe. kay?"
	Child 3: 	"That water beats fire. And fire beats grass. And grass beats water. And electric is best starter."
	Deep Blue: 	"That last statement may have been embellished."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"And let me know if you see any more ghost pokemon!"
	Child 3: 	Child 3 pouts and looks away from Hotaru, "kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay."
	Woman 1: 	"They're north, aren't they? In the swamp?"
	Child 3: 	"What swamp?" Child 3 points up, "The really scary one is in Route 3. At night. Steals souls."
	Woman 1: 	"...?"
	Child 3: 	"But not like a Shedinja. Or a Litwick. Like an evil hungry thing. For fun. And stuff. And stuff."
	Woman 1: 	"...We're going to talk to your teacher now."
	Child 3: 	"My teacher is bad at his job. Gary has to fill in the blanks and he has pokedexes."
	Woman 1: 	"..."
	Woman 1: 	"And now we're going to the police station."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"That sounds incredible! I can't wait to go!"
	Sarah: 	"That's... probably a good idea."
	Hotaru: 	"Have a good day, you two."
	Woman 1: 	Woman 1 takes her childs hand and walks away.
	Hotaru: 	"Mana, you can't just run up to smols and start talking at them. They're taught that tols can be dangerous."
	Hotaru: 	"Admittedly, that mom was a bad mom."
	Sarah: 	"You're not entirely wrong there. A mother should know what's goin' on with their kid."
	Hotaru: 	"My mom taught me not to put up with peoples' shit. And how to not get killed."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo nods, "Okay, I'll try to remember."
Narrator: 	Shall I tranteleportion you?
	Sarah: 	"I was kinda dealing more with mountaintops and frozen stuff, so not much worries with pedos."
Hotaru: (( ye ))
Ma-Nyeo: 	Yes, I am done scaring children.
Narrator: 	FORMATION UP
Narrator: 	Grabbing your token Grace and teleporting you to Route 1
Ma-Nyeo: 	If any of your pokemon are out, actually place them on the map.
Grace: 	Gotcha
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru lets out her Drampa as they leave town.
When you enter Route 1 the rain dies down and it becomes cloudy.
Time: 3:49 PM
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Green ralts green ralts..."
Grace: 	are... we gonna miss the big draggo?
Narrator: 	?
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo looks out for the Green Ralts. Perception (Seeing) 1+2+3+7=13
Grace: 	the doropara? Or is that someone's and I'm brainfarting?
Avara: 	hotaru let out her drampa as they walked onto route 1
	Cassiopeia: 	I'm going to Perception the shape of the clouds. 4+6+5+3=18
Narrator: 	That's Hotaru's.
Grace: 	Aight, nvm shoot me then.
* DNA shoots you.
Grace: 	thaaaaaank yoooooooou
Narrator whispers: Swirling. Dark. With a very faint green hue.
DNA: 	That reminded me of the 'grown men are talking' skit.
Narrator: 	That reminded me of Cloytser.
* Cassiopeia takes out a journal and starts jotting notes about the shapes of the clouds, and the weather in general right now.
	Hotaru: 	"So do we want to go around the lake, or try to cut across the grass? Grass probably means a lot more danger, but a lot less land."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"We should take the road, and keep an eye out for anything curious."
	Sarah: 	"I'm good for either. I'm in no hurry, but I'm down for a fight!"
	Cassiopeia: 	"I'd prefer the road, but I won't object if you want to take a shortcut."
	Hotaru: 	"Road it is, then."
	Sarah: 	"Aight, sounds golden!"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Um... how did you all meet your pokemon partners?"
	Sarah: 	"Suzy here's a family member as much as I am! Ma's Ninetails had her when I was younger, so we just kinda became inseperable! That and, she's saved my bacon more than once!" She'll say scratching under suzy's neck which gets a little smile on both of their faces.
	Hotaru: 	"Doropara and I were in Mount Moon around the same time. I don't think he was migratory, but he'd just shifted to a new bit of territory near the Center."
	Cassiopeia: 	"I'd met up with a nice fellow who noticed I was studying to be a meteorologist. I expressed a desire to travel to other countries, and he gave me Deep Blue here as a parting gift, to ensure I'd stay safe while on the road and studying the sky. It was a small gesture but it was something I'll always appreciate."
	Hotaru: 	"Meteorologist? Is that the one that studies comets, or the weather one? I always get them confused."
	Cassiopeia: 	"The weather one. Though it is an odd name, I'll admit."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"I met Miss Mallow in Alola, when I was exploring abandoned buildings. I don't know why she decided to come with me, it was so long ago."
	Sarah: 	Sarah will be looking around while listening to her friends. "Well, with some Alolan pokemon's numbers getting a boost with less humans, I'm not suprised the big guy here made a move. I- Well, Arceus dang, for example I think I see some popplio over there!"
	Miss Mallow: 	"You complemented my craftsmanship. I was young then and it was very touching..."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"I wish I could sew, then we could make outfits together."
	Hotaru: 	"So learn to?"
	Hotaru: 	"Nothing's stopping you, Mandy."
	Cassiopeia: 	"Oh, Popplio? ...So you're right, they seem to be sunning themselves. Or they would be, were it not for the clouds."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	((getting errors, brb))
Ma-Nyeo is disconnected.
Ma-Nyeo has connected.
	Sarah: 	"Yep! Popplio and their kind aren't ones to not be on some kinda display. They love some good attention... or at least the one's I've run into back home."
	Sarah: 	"Though what are those cute little ones bouncin' on their... tails?"
Ma-Nyeo: 	"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Azurill. They are normal types for a bit before they're not."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"there are a lot of fairies here. Azurril, Klefki and Carbink."
	Cassiopeia: 	"You know a lot about Fairy-types, Ma-Nyeo?"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"A little... I just studied pokemon in school."
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Azurill are funny though. They're very strong only they're not."
	Cassiopeia: 	"Is that so?" Cassiopeia nodded, failing to see the sense in Ma-Nyeo's statement.
	Sarah: 	"How's that work?"
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"It's called... Huge Power? It's an ability to make them stronger, but they're not naturally that strong."
	Sarah: 	"...Huh. Interestin' lil' critters!"
	Cassiopeia: 	"Ah! Ah, that's what you meant." Now she understood. A little.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo examines the pokeball to see if it would explode or Spore her if she would touch it. Perception (seeing) 1+2+2+7=12 (STUNT! 1 Stunt Point)
Narrator: 	The one north?
	Ma-Nyeo: 	yes
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"Does someone want to go get that item? It looks safe."
	Cassiopeia: 	"That one?" Cassiopeia looks where Ma-Nyeo is pointing.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Ma-Nyeo points to the north, "That one."
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru listens for pokemon near the item.
	Sarah: 	"I don't mind! I'm down for pickin' up stuff!"
	Hotaru: 	perception hearing 5+3+6+4=18
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru walks north!
	Hotaru: 	Picking up the thing!
Hotaru picks up 4 Hondew Berries.
	Hotaru: 	"Hondew. Nice."
	Hotaru: 	Hotaru runs back to the path! And then hands a berry to everyone.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	: D
* Cassiopeia acquires 1 Hondew Berry! She is very grateful to Hotaru.
Avara: 	what does hondew do?
	Sarah: 	Sarah will perk up, "Oh! Sweet, thanks!"
DNA: 	Do you want me to bring up the effect in my sheet?
Narrator: 	Hondew Berry:
Lower the user's Aura by 1 (up to a minimum of -2) and raise one the user's other abilities by 1 (up to a maximum of 5).
DNA: 	Oh, it's min -2?
Avara: 	wow
Narrator: 	@DNA, correct.
DNA: 	Weird. My sheet has min. 0. I need to double-check that.
DNA: 	I wasn't aware stats could go negative.
Narrator: 	All the berries that reduce stats are -2 minimum
	Ma-Nyeo: 	Players can have minimum 0. But stats naturally bottom out at -2.
Narrator: 	Oh yeah. They can.
	Sarah: 	(They don't go below 0 I think?)
* Hotaru is going to save hers.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	((posting in skype))
Narrator: 	I've dropped someone's stats to -1 before in AEB1
DNA: 	One moment while I make that edit to my sheet.
DNA: 	And fixed.

	Ma-Nyeo: 	Speedy Search, no other stunts.
	Ma-Nyeo: 	"That pokeball is safe, if the pokemon don't attack us for getting it."
	Sarah: 	Sarah will simply go over and try to pick it up.
	Miss Mallow: 	"Excuse me..." Miss Mallow leaves Ma-Nyeo's shoulder.
	Flabebe: 	3+2+4+3=12
	Flabebe: 	Flabebe inhales deeply and then let's out a mildly stunning cry!
