- Emergency:
- It's me
- Thrice:
- it's
- Emergency:
- where are we
- Thrice:
- After the Slaughter of Forest Trail you guys returned back to town to rest up; with Allie's help you were able to get back without any problems. You're at the Center now, and it's been a few hours, so your Pokemon are fully healed. Allie's also been able to teach your Pokemon their Tutor Move, and you may apply Training to them
- Thrice:
- (and gain Training Exp)
- Thrice:
- Training Exp is half Pokemon Level + a bonus dependent on your highest Skill Rank
- Thrice:
- which should be Novice or Adept
- Thrice:
- so it'd be a +5 bonus
- Passefaro:
- Passefaro gained 5 experience! (140) Level 12
- Thrice:
- no as in, the BONUS is +5
- Thrice:
- that's added on to half the pokemon's level
- Thrice:
- so, half level + 5
- Thrice:
- so in this case 6+5
- Passefaro:
- Passefaro gained 6 experience! (146) Level 12
- Thrice:
- honestly surprised that didn't level you up
- Passefaro:
- it's probably 150
- Thrice:
- 160 seemingly
- Thrice:
- Did you choose your Tutor Move
- Eliza:
- I'm probably going to take the time to try planting some seeds on my Skiddo
- Thrice:
- Remember that it costs 2 Tutor Points, you should have 3 ATM
- Eliza:
- I'm torn between Covet and Knockoff
- Eliza:
- But they're more for utility than actual pain since no STAB
- Thrice:
- i mean DB13 is pretty damn strong
- Eliza:
- I'll try Knock Off then
- Thrice:
- i'm not even sure what Grass attack you could get that reaches DB13 WITH STAB
- Thrice:
- that's physical
- Thrice:
- bullet seed is all I can think of...Power Whip I guess
- Eliza:
- Alright, Knock Off put down
- Thrice:
- oh and solar blade i forgot that's a thing
- Eliza:
- I have no idea what that is
- Thrice:
- slightly stronger physical solar beam
- Thrice:
- i think itm ight be lurantis' signature move?
- Eliza:
- OP
- Eliza:
- Alright captain, I think I'm ready
- Eliza:
- Eliza takes back her ball from the healing tray, nodding at Jackie for her services, "Oh, speaking of which," she transitions statements, "You know anything about growing berries at all? I know a bought some but I wouldn't want to waste them."
- Eliza:
- She reveals a pouch with two berries inside, she dumps them onto an open palm.
- Jackie:
- "Well, a little bit...couldn't be much different from my garden. Hard to give general advice on 'em; some of 'em need more sun than others, more water...If you';re lookin' to grow 'em on the road, that's a good idea, but you'd need somethin' to put 'em in."
- Jackie:
- "They won't grow in your hand!"
- Eliza:
- "Well, yeah. I think my special Skiddo has a fine amount of dirt growing around for a fertile plot." She adjusts her hat in debate, "I'm just not sure if they'll survive all of the adventure we'll be doing, like battling and whatnot."
- Eliza:
- "Do you sell any growers by chance? I might be able to gather some of the earth to avoid the hassle I just mentioned."
- Jackie:
- "Me? Nah. I don't do much travel. My husband might sell some, though... Well, I doubt he'd have any in stock, but I could tell 'im to order ya one, if ya want?"
- Eliza:
- "Yeah, that sounds nice. I'll take one." She lifts her wrist and glances at her watch, "Still plenty of time to roam around. Guess I'll make sure I have everything back at the office." She murmurs to herself before looking back to Jackie, "Thanks a bunch. I'll see you around, probably."
- Jackie:
- "Yep! Might take a day or two for that to show up, but I'll tell ya when it c-- Hm?"
- Familiar Schoolgirl:
- The doors to the Center burst open, and a panting, haggard-looking girl rushes in to the Center, "N-nurse Jackie, you need to come! The-there's someone hurt..." She notices you standing next to the counter, "Oh! Y-you too, Ms. Sielle! P-please!"
- Eliza:
- General Education (Pretty sure I know who that is): ( 11 )
- Familiar Schoolgirl:
- Her name's Myrtle, she's a student at the University. She would have graduated just yesterday
- Eliza:
- I think that's Myrtle.
- Eliza:
- "Ah? Myrtle? Oh dear, what could it be now?" She stashes her ball onto her belt and follows the lead of the school's top student.
- Warlord has connected.
- Warlord:
- (Anything happening?)
- Eliza: (( I'm at the center and one of the school's top students just came in asking for help ))
- Eliza: (( you're just in time if you want to jump in ))
- Warlord:
- (Planning on it)
- Eliza: (( Pokemon should be all healed up by this time so you're fresh as it gets ))
- Familiar Schoolgirl: (( you also have the Tutor Move already, if you decided what you want and what to give it to ))
- Eliza: (( you also get "half of your Pokemon level + 5exp" for your mon with their tutor move ))
- Familiar Schoolgirl: (( that's all your pokemon, or at elast all the ones you can Train, as there was some time to apply Training ))
- Familiar Schoolgirl: (( including the Training Features ))
- Warlord:
- (I guess knock off is good)
- Warlord:
- (Give it again to me to paste)
- Jackie:
- Move: Knock Off Type: Dark Frequency: EOT AC: 2 Damage Base 7: 2d6+10 / 17 Class: Physical Range: Melee, 1 Target Effect: Once a Scene, if Knock Off's target has a Held Item or is holding something in their Main or Off Hand, you may have Knock Off's Damage Base be 13 instead (4d10+10 / 35). If you do, that item is knocked to the ground. Contest Type: Smart Contest Effect: Steady Performance
- Jackie:
- "Hurt? Calm down, it'll be okay. I'll grab my bag and we can be on the way, all right?"
- Enya: (( do hurt/heal still say to all? ))
- Enya:
- Enya is healed and gains 0 hit points.
- Galf 1:
- Galf 1 is healed and gains 11 hit points.
- Ivan 1:
- Ivan 1 is healed and gains 29 hit points.
- Jackie:
- everythign is healed, you can fully recover everything at once if you select them all then right click the Recover macro and hit "Run For Each Selected"
- Warlord:
- (Anyway what did the person actually ask for help with, what time of day is it)
- Eliza: (( she hasn't specified yet but I know the student so I'm inclined to help ))
- Warlord:
- (Waiting for Thrice's message then)
- Eliza:
- "Knowing the kind of antics your buddy buddy friends can do, I wouldn't doubt if they've stirred up some trouble." She looks around for Nixon and Ivan, not seeing the prideless kid, but Ivan sitting off, "Oi, Ivan if you're not busy come along."
- Myrtle:
- "Ah, yes, um, maybe it would be better with more people..."
- Myrtle:
- "But we need to hurry!"
- Ivan:
- Ivan still felt obligated to help out Eliza after she'd given him the Dusclops in addition to his own reasons. "Alright, just for you. Where are we going?" He hadn't been paying much attention as per usual, only just now walking over but he didn't want them going off and getting killed by themselves.
- Eliza:
- "Lead the way Myrtle, and tell us what's going on." She gestures the student to lead the way.
- Myrtle:
- Myrtle indeed leads the way, but she's practically incoherent. You can catch the gist of what she's saying; it sounds like there was a fight that she couldn't stop, and some students have gotten hurt. It sounds like the fight's still going, too... She hurries in a rush to a back alley a few blocks from the Pokemon Center. She stops just short of the alley, then timidly steps into it, trying not into it. You hear a crass male voice from inside the alleyway.
- Myrtle: (( maptool was doing that weird shit where it snaps tokens back after you move them ))
- Eliza: (( gross ))
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Ah, there you are! I was gettin' worried! Runnin' out of assholes, too..." When you step into view, they perk up, "Hey, so ya brought some more! Wait, ain't she one of the teachers or somethin'? And the Poke Center milf, too? How deep does this shit go?!" The red-haired student has his grip around another student's neck, and gestures around the alley with his free hand. As you take a look around yourself, you notice other students lying slack against the walls and buildings. Some are out cold, others are groaning, but all are beaten and bloodied. "What, like, half the student body, and now teachers 'n shit? Shoulda done somethin' sooner."
- Ivan:
- Ivan's a bit annoyed about her being unable to just spit out what happened, doubting it can be anywhere near as traumatic as she's making it out to be. "You just need us to teach some students to behave, right? Their actions won't go unpunished." If they were going to do that, they should've at least made the liberty to not have witnesses!
- Warlord:
- (My line is before we get there)
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- yeah probably
- Myrtle:
- Myrtle panics, shaking her head, "No, no! I brought them to...to stop you! This isn't right!" She turns to you, "Pl-please, talk some sense into them! I keep telling them to stop, but they won't listen to me!"
- Jackie:
- "Holy...are these all students...?
- Eliza:
- "Oh for... goddammit Raphael, you do this shit all of the time, how the Rangers don't drop the hammer on you, I'll never know." She leans her cane inwards toward the bloody asshole.
- Warlord:
- (I assumed the female was the kid he had his arm wrapped around the neck of. Is she helping him then?)
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- your first assumption was correct, she's just some chick he had strung up
- Warlord:
- (I misread something nevermind.)
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Oh, yeah? Well, someone's got to, ain't they? Unlike you teachers, I can't just let trash like this run around unchecked."
- Ivan:
- "Yeah, uh, Raphael, is it?" He coughs. "Seriously, what the hell do you think you're doing? There's plenty of squishy Budews to use as punching bags." He just assumed he has snapped though was curious if there was any deeper motive.
- Ivan:
- "You don't want me to tell anybody about this, do you?"
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Huh? Who...oh, I recognize you. Well, you see, I figure I've graduated. They can't expel me anymore, no need to keep this low profile... I'm kinda shocked the nurse knew."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Hah! Tell 'em what? I've got my reasons, I'm sure they'd understand. It's just a little payback, since she can't stand up for herself."
- Jackie:
- "Ah, for god's sake...Do you two know this kid? Is he touched in the head?"
- Ivan:
- "Who cares? You could easliy get locked away for this kind of assault. What's your 'education' in this place gonna do ya then?" He was kind of baffled he didn't care about there being this many witnesses to this crime. Did he intend to just go on the run?
- Eliza:
- Eliza raises her eyebrow, "Speaking of recognition, where's Mr. Travieso Odd to not see him with you."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Huh? Lock me up? I'm a full-fledged Ranger now! It ain't like I've killed anybody, do you think I'm some kinda psychopath or something? This is just punishment!"
- Shadowy Schoolboy:
- Someone else steps out from between the buildings, "At least your mind is sharper than your eyes. I'm just here to make sure nobody tattles on him, I've done nothing wrong."
- Ivan:
- "Do rangers really get that kinda immunity around here? Well goddamn." He didn't know what the laws were around here, but if that was the case he could see why somebody would hate the rangers if they had this amount of power at their fingertips to abuse. He found it more likely that the bully was just lying and an idiot regardless.
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Weeelll...most of 'em, maybe not. But I'm not most Rangers, am I? I studied under the Red Tide himself! They won't wanna just throw someone like me in jail for a little self-serving justice."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Maybe they'll revoke my license, but does that really matter anymore..."
- Jackie:
- "...so anyone gonna arrest him, yet? I need to tend to those kids!"
- Eliza:
- "A good day to you, Harper. Well, uh, we're still kinda here, now what?" Eliza approaches some of the downed students and waves Jackie over, returning her gaze up to Raphael, "Well we won't let this go unpunished."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Eh, I won't stop ya from treatin' em. I don't want these assholes dead. But if you're gonna try and solve violence with violence, that's a different matter."
- Ivan:
- "Now now, I'm sure Raphael had a totally legitimate reason for doing this. They were probably trying to steal Albion's valuable Delta Pokemon or something. I recognize that troublemaker over there." He pointed to one of the kids that was knocked out.
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Huh? Albion? Fuck do I care about Al--oh, well, he did give us some Pokemon... I guess I DO owe him one."
- Ivan:
- groaned at the kid's incompetence in being unable to go along with his narrative after he'd tried to play off of him. This was hopeless. He was curious what Eliza was going to do given nobody else seemed capable of doing anything.
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Look, nurse...you oughta know exactly what I'm doing here, huh? Can you really say I'm wrong?"
- Eliza:
- "Yeah, there's a process to this, what did they do to get the beatdown, I know you like to swing that big ole prowess of yours around, what made you go off the handle this time?"
- Ivan:
- He was curious as to what the hell his idea of "justice" was beating the shit out of these other kids. He imagined at this point they probably had just looked at Raphael funny or the chick had refused to date him, something stupid and petty.
- Eliza:
- "If you can get the testimony from Myrtle, you're off the hook. Otherwise, we'll go from there."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Been buildin' up for a while now...all the worst ones I already took care of. I'm sure ya saw them in the nurse's office."
- Myrtle:
- "What? But..."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Oh, come on. Ya think if she had the guts to do somethin' like that, we'd be in this situation? Hell, D'Arcy coulda solved this whole thing ages ago, but nooo, gotta leave it up to little ol' me, right?"
- Eliza:
- "I suppose, how have you been holding up since you last saw me Myrtle? Have these two actually helped with how you've been feeling?"
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Why didn't YOU say anything, huh?"
- Ivan:
- "Can you just stop beating around the bush already? What did these people do for you to beat them up." Apparently Eliza knew more than he did.
- Myrtle:
- "I-I didn't know what they were doing! I just thought...people had...stopped..."
- Eliza:
- "Bullying has always been an issue in large communities like school, one doesn't expect the issue to just go away because it was left alone without conclusions. If I can get confirmation that Myrtle was continued to be bullied and for that to be stopped by the two Ranger boys here..."
- Eliza:
- "Then I won't have them submit to full punishment. But I need answers, so defend yourselves."
- Eliza:
- "I have no time to waste with all of these three quarter'd beaten students literred all over the school grounds."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Bullying? Man, you really don't get it... I mean, you're not wrong, but that's just too weak of a word... And I ain't; gonna say shit, if she doesn't want me to. That's for her to decide. I'm guessin' that's the same reason you didn't say anything?"
- Ivan:
- Apparently they were going to get around this crap anyway because of this school's bizarre rules. Eliza seemed like the main authority figure and the main person who even cared was the nurse.
- Eliza:
- "Myrtle?" She addresses her, "This is your time to shine some light onto the situation, I only know so much from your visits. This can be resolved."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "You don't gotta speak if you don't wanna. I can trash 'em all and then we'll be outta here, if that's what ya want."
- Eliza:
- Eliza eyes Ivan to be ready for a skirmish if things gets sour.
- Myrtle:
- "What? No! No! I brought them here to stop the fighting! Don't attack them!"
- Ivan:
- "Nobody's trashing anybody. We can get out of this without me stomping your face in." He was getting pretty pissed that he was willing to attack him, and he was a massive liability wanting to attack random people like the nurse and these other people. From what he pieced together the kids had generically bullied Myrtle and this was revenge, but the fact they had to be quiet about meant there was obviously something more to it.
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Well, they look pretty riled up, Myrtle, so I don't have many options here.'
- Eliza:
- Eliza sighs, and walks beside the girl, "I won't force you to say anything, but it would really help. But if you're not going to say anything, I'm going to have to punish your bodyguards."
- Eliza:
- She puts a hand on her shoulder and forces their eyes to meet, "Really, I don't want to deal anything I don't want to, especially not to people you've grown attatched to over the months.
- Eliza:
- "+
- Myrtle:
- "A-attached? That's...It's more like..they won't leave me alone...I don't know why... I-I never asked them to do any of this...I didn't know! I just...I wanted to keep everything quiet..."
- Shadowy Schoolboy:
- harper wonders why they haven't just bolted by now
- Eliza:
- "Ivan, I'll let you interject with your opinion and action for a few moments, after times up I'll dish out punishment."
- Eliza:
- time's*
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "...you realize you're a nurse, right? And I'm a combat Ranger?"
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Really, I don't want to beat up an old lady..."
- Ivan:
- Ivan was weirded out by what Eliza said, he practically felt like he was in the damn high school now. "And you realize I'm 7 feet tall?" He addresses the other kid in the back. "Look, Harper. Don't let this idiot drag you off the cliff with him. I don't know what you're thinking but this whole situation is looking like it's going down the crapper."
- Shadowy Schoolboy:
- "Hmm, well, we'll see. The faculty's to blame here most of all. I don't intend to fight, but...Myrtle, can't you say something? It's not as if you'll face any repercussions, and you don't have to worry about ruining their school lives now. Do you want more people to get hurt in a fight than necessary?"
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "You know, I could just beat a confession out of these assholes, if you want?"
- Eliza:
- "Although I can't speak on behalf of the rest of the staff, I have indeed not said very much. At least vocally. Mr. Loritz, how did you feel your fight with all of these students go? Perhaps a bit easier than normal?"
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Huh? They're all weak shit. Big egos, tiny muscles. No guts."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Why? Wonderin' if I'm worn out?"
- Eliza:
- "That's actually nice to know," She pulls out a small notebook and flips through the pages, jotting something down. "Okay look, we've been sitting out here fiddling our thumbs and not doing shit." Her facial expression translate into a more stern look, "You all have thirty seconds to state a defense otherwise I'm burying you all. If you think you've done nothing wrong, then help me bring the first generation of assholes back to my office so I can inject their veins with some more conentrated neurodesensitizers."
- Eliza:
- concentrated*
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "...wait, what? You're gonna drug 'em?"
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Even I don't want that. I mean, hell, I beat the tar out of 'em, that's all I was planning to do."
- Myrtle:
- did i pick the wrong people for this jackie pls save me
- Eliza:
- "Oh, you didn't notice that they've been effecitvely the best scapegoat for counterbullying?" She nods her head almost sarcastically, "I don't speak much, I put it in their veins."
- Ivan:
- Was a bit taken aback by what Eliza said, she certainly didn't fuck around. It was obvious none of them wanted to reveal certain information that would not paint Raphael as a total monster, not that he really believed he wasn't. He got his Pokemon out in advance while waiting.
- Warlord:
- (I assume the Dusclops will obey orders since it was released to be tutored)
- Myrtle:
- "H-huh?! N-no! You can't do that! I-it's...I'll talk to the dean..."
- Warlord:
- (This arena is stupidly crowded, can I release Dusclops in the fucking wall)
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Lady, you're more fucked up than I am."
- Eliza: (( something something map not drawn to scale ))
- Bloody Schoolboy: (( this is not where you'd be fighting them, there'd be another arena ))
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Like...god, as a Ranger, can I even let that slide..."
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "Why don't we just agree to be mutual criminals?"
- Ivan:
- "We could hypothetically do that if there wasn't that girl and that nurse listening to the whole conversation, ya idiot."
- Eliza:
- "I'm glad you've noticed our differences. But if this conflict is resolved, do be a dear and help me recover these poor, poor students back to their former livelihood."
- Eliza:
- "I'm sure that if a physical trauma isn't left in their memories, I'll make it exist there."
- Jackie:
- (I gotta feelin' I walked into somethin' outta my league...)
- Eliza:
- Eliza stares through Raph, "Your move."
- Eliza:
- Name of Skill: ( 13 )
- Eliza:
- oops
- Eliza:
- Intimidate: ( 20 )
- Ivan:
- "You really think you're getting past not only my bod, but a Dusclops?" He had no idea how strong his Pokemon were but assumed they had also just started.
- Ivan: (( right I should be rolling social skills. ))
- Eliza: (( I forgot about them ))
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "...hey, look, I've got reason to wanna beat those guys up any further. I'm pretty much done here."
- Eliza: (( I was like wait I think I can use themn ))
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- no reason*
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- herp
- Eliza:
- he's definitely got more reasons
- Eliza:
- beat em up fam
- Bloody Schoolboy:
- "But...shit, I casn't just let ya lethally inject 'em or whatever the fuck you're planning on doing."
- Warlord:
- (You'd think the one girl who's conscious would've said something)
- Bloody Schoolboy: (( she's not, she's justthe only one that might be recognized since she was in the classroom ))
- Warlord: (( well that's what FNT tag is for mate ))
- Eliza:
- "Oh, what was it again? I don't want these assholes dead? I'm not doing anything illegal by your views of countering violence with violence. Some may even state that mine is certainly more legal for rehabilitation."
- Eliza:
- "But worry not, I have the codes of a professional. It'd be kind of hypocritical to kill as a doctor no?"
- Harper:
- Harper leans against the building, scribbling into a notepad, "This was worth it after all..."
- Myrtle:
- "S-so, uh...What's going on now... I'm so confused..."
- Ivan:
- "Wait, you know what these folks did then?" He beckons off to the knocked out kids who everybody refuses to tell him about. "You were actually thinking about...You know..." He didn't want to outright say it because he wasn't sure if Raphael was just putting words in her mouth.
- Ivan:
- (He's talking to Eliza)
- Eliza:
- "Hm? I mean, if no one will tell me the entire story of what's going on, I can only assume that bullies beating up bullies is what I've gathered. No one seems to be saying that's not true. I am to assume that Myrtle's school life consisted of bullies interfereing with her experiences here at Boole."
- Eliza:
- "Seemingly our delinquint heroes have come out to do what the staff has not, cracking down on the skulls of those who committed the deed onto our precious honor student."
- Raphael:
- "'Bullying' makes it sound like primary-school hijinks... Ach, whaddaya care what it was... Come on, Myrtle, let's get outta here."
- Ivan:
- "And....Nobody wanted to say that before becauuuuuse? If it was that simple they'd just come out and say it. There's something else at play here or they're just lying." He inspected the bodies on the ground for if they looked to even be particularly physically capable of being "bullies." He certainly wasn't against judging people by appearance.
- Thrice:
- Most of them don't look particularly physically strong, though, well, neither does Myrtle. It's almost all girls
- Eliza:
- "Like I fucking know, this is why wars and miscommunications happens." She sighs, "We'll treat them right here since why the hell not." She looks between Myrtle and Raph, "I'm sure I won't have to tell you not to do this again since a good majority won't be here soon enough. Go do some real justice out in the world will you?"
- Eliza:
- She sighs, "Man, being old sucks." She opens up her own box of medical tools, and uncaps a few syringes.
- Raphael:
- "Hey, don't lump her into it. I don't want anything goin on her record. Put it all on me if you're gonna report it, I couldn't give a shit less."
- Eliza:
- "Well aren't you a shining example of chivalry. Don't worry your pretty little head about it, I was mostly addressing you anyway. I'll make sure not to defame you, not that it would do anything."
- Eliza:
- "If you still have some fight left, you could battle good ole Ivan here for kicks and giggles."
- Harper:
- "And to silence your objections, Ivan, there's nothing special going on behind the scenes. The reason she said nothing was simply because it would get worse for her if she did. She wouldn't have been able to attend school here. Don't you remember anything similar happening in your childhood?"
- Jackie:
- Jackie moves silently past the group of convicts to start treating the students. She wasn';t prepared for this shit she thought someone maybe broke their ankle or something like god damn people
- Warlord is disconnected.
- Eliza:
- don't you love school jackie
- Warlord has connected.
- Eliza:
- wb
- Ivan:
- Ivan imagined the """bullying""" from a bunch of fellow girls probably wasn't physical and thought this whole exchange was just pathetic. He wanted to punish Raphael's stupid ass but wasn't in a position to do so. "Well done defending her from a bunch of very threatening teenage girls. You sure showed them. Just run off before I change my damn mind."
- Warlord:
- (Am I still connected, this internet is poo poo right now)
- Eliza: (( yes ))
- Warlord: (( Raphael: "Hey, don't lump her into it. I don't want anything goin on her record. Put it all on me if you're gonna report it, I couldn't give a shit less." You have disconnected. ))
- Warlord: (( last message I got ))
- Eliza:
- : "Well aren't you a shining example of chivalry. Don't worry your pretty little head about it, I was mostly addressing you anyway. I'll make sure not to defame you, not that it would do anything."

She wasn';t prepared for this shit she thought someone maybe broke their ankle or something like god damn people
- Eliza:
- fuck
- Eliza:
- sent it through discord
- Raphael:
- Raphael cracks his neck and glares at you, "...what? You think cause they're not fuckin' jacked, they can't hurt somebody? Anyone can do damage with a weapon. But It ain't all about punches, man. People like you oughta shut your face about shit you don't know."
- Eliza:
- "If you two are going to start another conflict, move off over there where you won't collateral the already beaten pulps."
- Eliza:
- She kinda points over to the open space, just in case.
- Harper:
- "Could you learn to restrain yourself for one second?"
- Ivan:
- "Well you've left me to make assumptions a lot worse than what probably happened cause you're being all secretive and stuff. What am I supposed to think? My opinion doesn't matter here anyway, just telling you what I think. You're free to go."
- Raphael:
- "...agh,whatever. Come on, Myrtle. Lucky D'Arcy didn't come by."
- Myrtle:
- "Um...thanks for, talking them down, Ms. Sielle. I'll remember it..." more like she'll never be able to forget this
- Eliza:
- my nurse likes to drug people, perfect memory
- Eliza:
- "I didn't do much to be honest, much like a lot of the staff. Ahem. It seems like he was already near finished, I'd say it wouldn't be the best thing to remember."
- Eliza:
- "I'm sure you'll do fine with those two around. Maybe chivalry isn't dead? And you're a bright girl, show the world what you can do that these..." she stabs a syringe in the side of the neck of on eof the dead bodies, "fine young women."
- Warlord: (( oh yes, most definitely dead ))
- Eliza: (( 1000% dead ))
- Myrtle:
- Myrtle flinches when you stab the student, "U-um...Of course..."
- Ivan:
- Ivan's still wary about what Raphael said during the conversation. "What's in those syringes?"
- Harper:
- Harper jots a little more into his notepad, then walks off into another alley, "Come on, you two! We've hung around here too long already..."
- Raphael:
- "...I seriously hope that's just anesthetic..."
- Eliza:
- Eliza smiles and waves to her as they... probably cautiously walk away, "Oh these? It's just some regeneration serum. It helps with the soreness and inflammation. Standard dosage."
- Myrtle:
- Myrtle seems relieved to hear that, not knowing it's a lie, and joins up with Harper and Raphael...though she tries to stand clear of the redheaded boy.
- Eliza:
- "Worry not Rangers, if you want a perscription profile, just let me know."
- Warlord:
- I suppose I can roll asinine medical education
- Warlord: (( lol ))
- Warlord: (( what is roll for pathetic medicene education ))
- Eliza:
- 1d6
- Eliza:
- + mind
- Harper:
- 1d6+mind
- Ivan:
- 4
- Warlord:
- That totally tells me things.
- Eliza:
- not bad
- Raphael:
- "Uh...I'll pass. Harper's got all the poison we're gonna need..."
- Eliza:
- "Curious? I'm actually a horrible liar, do you know how much shit I'd be in if I was actually not treating people? Like, they'll probably put me in some torture program in a cave or something." She twists the dummy cap into the used syringe. "See?" she rotates that engraved logo and label, "Patented by administration of medicine."
- Eliza:
- It even says Regeneration Serum on it.
- Raphael:
- you go to great lengths to murder 16-year-olds
- Eliza:
- many miles
- Ivan:
- That was more than enough for him. "Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. I dunno why I put any stock into what he said." It was more what Eliza herself had said earlier that had given him significant pause.
- Warlord:
- (If Eliza is actually poisoning them there is a real nurse with medicene education that's not pathetic supposedly here.)
- Eliza: (( she's not actually poisoning them lol ))
- Jackie:
- Jackie gives the vial a cursory look, then checks the student, "Well, you're not as crazy as I thought..."
- Eliza:
- "You think Rowurke would let me be the head nurse if I was killing people? I think there's an academic programs for that."
- Eliza:
- "The charm of intimidation tactics sure makes things tense, huh?"
- Eliza:
- is that token girl actually a person I can talk to
- Eliza:
- or is that to represent the bodies
- Warlord:
- he said she was unconscious
- Jackie:
- "Well, you sure had me worried..."
- Eliza:
- "You know, now that people point that out so frequently, I'm starting to feel just slightly more bad than normal. Do I really worry everyone that much?" She looks at Ivan, "Do you worry that I'm crazy?"
- Eliza:
- "I mean, we've only just met, but first impressions sure go a long way."
- Ivan:
- "....It was....Just that one thing you said. About putting them to sleep if they were bullies or whatever. That was just to appease that idiot with the warped sense of morality, right?" Of course she'd say yes when it was presented that way.
- Eliza:
- "Oh, I was actually doing that though. If you can create a chemical reaction in the brain to reject a thought or action, that itself can result in a positive way."
- Eliza:
- "In this case, they were probably less aggressive and felt a bit more sensitive, but who knows what the actual results were. To think that her precious knights would go and beat them up further only raises more concern."
- Eliza:
- She shrugs and then walks over to the last girl in the group, shaking her awake gently, "Hey you. Alive?"
- Jackie:
- "Wait, you actually did drug them? Sedatives...?"
- Eliza:
- "For the love of, it doesn't sound very good if you attatch the verb 'drug' to anything. It's a counter measure against aggressive behaviors. A chemical version of rehabilitation."
- Agi has connected.
- Jackie:
- "You have to have consent for that! For crying out loud..."
- Ivan:
- Ivan was uneducated enough on the matter he didn't know the legitimacy of what she was doing. "Well...Uh...It's a lot better than what it sounded like to me, anyway." Drugs could apparently change your thought patterns...? He wasn't so sure he wanted to get treated by her when they left out on their journey. He'd have to be extra careful around her.
- Nick:
- oh
- Warlord:
- That is an excellent line for you to enter on.
- Nick:
- it is
- Eliza:
- it is

- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- The girl barely responds, only half-conscious, "Aaww...I said I'm sorrry... Please stoppp..."
- Nick: (( What'd I miss? Where should I be? ))
- Jackie:
- near the red house on the right
- Jackie:
- bythe hedge
- Jackie:
- son, the hedge, etc
- Eliza:
- "You guys worry too much. This is my line of work, I've been doing this for years. I nearly wrote the book for it. You take some ibuprofen for headaches, you subdue patients if they're aggressive. Same principles."
- Eliza:
- Eliza bends down and lets the girl rest against her, "Worry not, your attackers have since left. what happened?"
- Jackie:
- i can't be smiling after this shit
- Eliza:
- She examines the reaction of the girl very closely.
- Nick:
- "There you guys are! Took a while to get that last move tutored... Fefe really is a piece of work. What'd I miss?"
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- "Ugh...what...? W-they're... gone?" She seems to regain her consciousness somewhat, but she's still slurring her words, "I'll kill that blonde bastard..."
- Ivan:
- "Uuuuhhh...Where to even start? Some edgy snot nosed kid about your age beat the tar out of all these girls because they teased his girlfriend or something."
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- "...aren't you the...nurse...?"
- Ivan:
- He is off talking to Nick and of course misses the one line that would imply she is not totally innocent.
- Nick:
- "What?! Just now?"
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- clearly she meant nick, she's gonna break his legs
- Eliza:
- Eliza notices Nick, and averts the facing of the girl away from the prideless prick, "Correct, I am Eliza Sielle, do you know who I am?"
- Nick:
- fuk I need those
- Eliza:
- obviously I need to ask her twice
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- "Er...yeah..."
- Nick:
- "Where'd he get off to? We can't let that go unpunished!"
- Eliza:
- "It appears you're not suffering a concussion, this is good news. I'm here to treat you and your friends. What happened here?"
- 10
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Boole University Grounds' by player Agi (Player)
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- "..fri--oh, yeah... Argh! That blonde douchebag...He - er...called us out here for...uh, something... I, uh, I don't remember what, ehehe... But 's soon as I got here, that redheaded dick chall--uh, he just decked me out of nowhere!"
- Ivan:
- "We showed up after he beat them up. He tried to justify it without wanting to tell us why he beat them up and........Well." He groaned. "It's complicated. Eliza excused them for one reason or another."
- Nick:
- "What's so complicated about some lowlife beating up a bunch of girls?"
- Eliza:
- "Okay, I might have to make a differential diagnosis. You might actually have a concussion."
- Ivan:
- "You can ask her. It's not on me." He had his own reasons but it had ultimately been her decision.
- Emergency is disconnected.
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- the poor boy
- Emergency has connected.
- Nick:
- Nick grabs Jackie's shoulder from behind. "Hey, you're from around here, right? Did you see the guy, do you know who they are?"
- Jackie:
- "Uh, kind of. He's a student, I know that much. But...you're not thinking about goin' after him, are you? I don't want anyone ELSE gettin' a nosejob from that kid."
- Nick:
- "Well I've done MY homework for the day, got myself a new Pokemon for the professor to study. I'd say I've earned a bit of fun." Nick wipes his nose and grins.
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- "N-nosejob?!" The girl brings her palms up to check her face, "Oh, thank god... I'd have cas--uh..That would've been awful..."
- Nick:
- "Besides, of course she'd let him go. She's a doctor, gotta take care of the injured people..."
- Eliza:
- eheheheh
- Ivan:
- Ivan groaned, being annoyed enough with him that he gave in. "You know what? I'll tell you, kid. Just don't tell him I told you. He went off thattaway with his two friends a couple minutes ago. Redhead wearing mostly all red and bloody from beating up those girls. I think he did it all with his fists, didn't use any Pokemon. One of his friends might attack you, though, so it'd be two on one."
- Eliza:
- how much more pride will Nixon lose toda
- Eliza:
- The GM should be SOMEWHAT NICE!
- Eliza:
- no
- Nick:
- Should be
- Nick:
- but won't
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- The GM is JUST A LITTLE BIT SHIT!
- Nick:
- I knew it
- Nick:
- " 'Don't tell him I told you,' huh? So you're not coming, then... fine. I'll get it done myself."
- Eliza:
- Eliza announces to the group, "Hey." She pulls out yet another syringe, "She this? This is called a pain reliever, specifically acetaminophen." She pops the cap off and injects it into the red headed girl.
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- The redheaded girl murmers to herself, '...is that guy actually strong? He looks weak as shit... Oh, who cares?' "Uh, yeah, go get him! Kick his ass!"
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- oh god you just killed me
- Eliza:
- "Shhh..."
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- only dreams now
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl:
- forever
- Nick:
- And here I get to wish I invested in Stealth.
- Nick:
- instead of like
- Eliza:
- "This is to relieve the headaches that accompany the concussions, this will also allow her body to regenerate quickly to recover for the damaged nerves dealt to the brain."
- Nick:
- uninvesting in it.
- Ivan:
- "I'll....Send Galf to go with you, I guess. But I can't go with you personally. Sorry, man..."

- Nick: (( Did we have the chance to hit the Pokecenter? ))
- Eliza:
- "Ah the days of school and rivals. Drama and the like."
- Eliza: (( yes we're fully recovered ))
- Nick: (( neat ))
- Not So Smug Anymore Girl: (( yeah, you're fully healed, have applied Experience Training, Training Feats, and Allie's tutored move ))
- Duskull: (( oh, awesome. ))
- Duskull: (( Is maximum number of Pokemon you can apply Training to still based on Command, or your highest skill ))
- Eliza:
- "I still feel the weary look on your face Jackie. Must I show you this syringe as well?"
- Duskull: (( iirc you moved Training XP to be based on that but I didn't recall training feats ))
- Eliza: (( like brutal etc ))
- Eliza: (( you can apply dat now ))
- Jackie: (( highest skill still ))
- Jackie: (( that's why I changed beast master ))
- Jackie:

- Eliza:
- interesting enough doesn't Ivan have stealth
- Rhyhorn: (( He just doesn't NOT have Stealth. ))
- Eliza:
- he's better at it than us
- Rhyhorn: (( I think. ))
- Warlord:
- (I didn't put negative into stealth like you)
- Warlord:
- (That's all)
- Eliza:
- "I'll help escort them back." She releases Passe to assist.
- Warlord: (( If Agi actually goes off after them I guess I can jack off and use my daily training time that nobody else had time to use here.) ))
- Warlord: (( on Dusclops I guess ))
- Jackie: (( you can train up to half your highest Skill Rank at a time ))
- Nick:
- "Hey." Nick shrugs. "I get it. Already told the guy you'd leave it and can't show your face now? Can't go back on your word?"
- Jackie: (( to apply Training Feats and Experience ))
- Jackie: (( Training Experience is half the Pokemon's level + a bonus depending on what your highest rank IS, in this case, it should be Adept ))
- Nick: (( Oh, it's HALF now? Alright ))
- Jackie: (( so it'd be +5 ))
- Jackie: (( always been half ))
- Nick:
- Each day, a Trainer can also apply Experience Training to a number of Pokémon equal to their Command Rank.
- Nick:
- n
- Eliza:
- "Try not to lose any more pride than you have to gamble with Nixon."
- Eliza:
- "They're Rangers too, just so you know."
- Nick:
- "Not possible!"
- Jackie: (( ...huh, I guess it is full ))
- Jackie: (( They changed that in 1.05 ))
- Nick: (( this is 1.05 ))
- Warlord: (( so just full command level, or intimidate in my case ))
- Jackie: (( Train The Reserves(which used to be called Group Trainer, I think) used to let you train up to your full Command rank ))
- Nick: (( Discord'd it ))
- Jackie: (( no, it's like...a scaling bonus ))
- Eliza:
- "Uh, Nixon are you really going after them?"
- Jackie: (( with Adept Skills, it's Half Pokemon Level + 5 ))
- Nick:
- "Yeah. Rangers or not, that's no example to set."
- Eliza:
- "I'll give you an option B if you want. We could head down to the bay like we wanted to earlier, the evening has only begun."
- Jackie: (( so 11 total for Dusclops ))
- Jackie: (( a Level 10 Pokemon would get 10 total ))
- Nick:
- "I'm probably out of my depth, though... I'll make it a recon mission. Came in handy, catching a ghost!"
- Ivan:
- "Yeah he was talking like he was invincible just cause he was a ranger. It was really fucked up."
- Eliza:
- "I hope not every Ranger is like he is, but uh, I haven't seen any shining examples quite yet."
- Ivan:
- "Me and Liz can head to the bay while you and Galf go after those guys?"
- Nick:
- "Sounds fine to me. Good luck out there. Want to borrow one of mine? I know Eliza hasn't caught a second, yet."
- Eliza:
- "I mean, that's why I'm going out there."
- Ivan:
- "Yeah. Thanks again for letting me have that Dusclops. Let's get you somethin' real nice."
- Eliza:
- "Oh, right. Before we split ways. I've got a commemorative gift for you both."
- Eliza:
- She reaches into her bag, and pulls out 6 syringes, all colored differently, "I guess you'd call these steroids of sorts, but I've tested them enough to make a limtied supply."
- Eliza:
- X Attack, X Speed, whatever the accuracy one is
- Eliza:
- for the both of you
- Nick:
- at'd b
- Jackie:
- i think the accuracy one is X Defense
- Nick:
- X Accuracy
- Eliza:
- oh
- Eliza:
- well fuck me
- Nick:
- ye
- Eliza:
- what is guard spec
- Nick:
- that
- Nick:
- Can't get status effects, p sure
- Jackie: (( Prevents statuses, I think? That or Crits ))
- Nick:
- Or can't get stat drops
- Eliza: (( like I fuckin' know ))
- Eliza: (( just take your drugs kids ))
- Nick:
- Prevents stat reduction by opponents' moves for the user's party for five turns.
- Nick:
- The latter.
- Jackie: (( stat reduction yeah it's useless ))
- Nick:
- "Thanks."
- Warlord: (( I assume you can make them for a few pennies? ))
- Nick:
- I should go tho.
- Nick:
- I'mma go.
- Eliza: (( 100 a pop ))
- Eliza: (( instead of 700 ))
- Nick:
- "C'mon then, Galf."
- Nick:
- "Sniff 'em out."
- Ivan:
- "Galf's a dog and that asshole was bleeding...Some of the blood in here should be his. Let him get his scent."
- Eliza:
- "Alright, let's get these bodies to the Center and then we can head off to the bay."
- Ivan:
- Ivan goes to help her with the bodies what with being 7 feet tall and all.
- Eliza:
- "Sorry for making you come out here for some petty shit. I'm old and shit, and weak. I got a mouth and that's all I'm good for."
- Galf:
- Galf has known his trainer for less than a day and doesn't think terribly much of going off with some other guy, though would probably need to be watched some to not just run off.
- Eliza:
- Real pranksters though
- Nick:
- I'll Command you back in line, don't think I won't
- Nick:
- But yeah, get the scent, get the trail, get outta here.
- Eliza:
- Livan drop off the bodies and shit and move to the bay pretty much, talking along the way I assume
- Galf:
- Galf presumably starts going off after Raphael's trail after figuring out which blood is his.
- Eliza:
- its the asshole smell
- Nick:
- it's always the asshole smell.
- Thrice:
- Yeah, you can get his scent, it's the most common one there
- Thrice:
- Normally I'd make you roll to actually track them but I think we can skip that bc we're about to have to roll a lot of dice anyway probably
- Thrice:
- and I have a lot of math to do in my head rn
- Nick:
- oh almost certainly
- Eliza:
- m a t h
- Thrice:
- You guys are headed to the bae yeah
- Eliza:
- b a e w a t c h
- Thrice:
- it is roughly...24 miles from your current location.
- Thrice:
- So uh. Fuck Nick.
- Nick:
- oh.
- Nick:
- Go ahead and do them first
- Nick:
- I'm gonna nuke some chicken.
- Thrice:
- theirs will take
- Thrice:
- a while
- Thrice:
- probably
- Eliza:
- uh maybe something a bit closer then? i d k
- Nick:
- ye but like
- Nick:
- I'm hungry
- Thrice:
- the closest is the wetlands
- Thrice:
- but the bay uh, isn't actually that far from you all things considered. Like it's a few days' travel
- Thrice:
- but get used to that.
- Eliza:
- well fuck
- Eliza:
- fuck nick good lord
- Thrice:
- more like fuck me
- Eliza:
- we could just go generic forest a
- Thrice:
- It won't take literal days IRL to do it, obviously
- Thrice:
- but yeah nick would be on his own for a while.
- Thrice:
- I mean the most logical thing would be to say Nick tracks them down WHILE you're moving all the students
- Eliza:
- yeah that sounds good to me
- Nick:
- but then they have to sit and do nothing forever??
- Eliza:
- we can just bum around in the forest
- Galf:
- I'm a dog good enough
- Eliza:
- and then realize it's fucking dark outside
- Eliza:
- mk you guys do your thing
- Nick:
- >start walking to the bay
- Nick:
- >realize after 2 hours that you're not at the bay yet
- Nick:
- >look at a map
- Nick:
- >f u c k
- Thrice:
- you could challenge someone to a battle, or yeah, dick around in the forest hunting for Pokemon
- Eliza:
- "Let me double check the logistics on this trip before we head out, I actually think it's the furtherest thing out there, might want your little kid to be with us and travel outwards once we get there."
- Thrice:
- or you could go to one of the places that's not 20+ miles away
- Eliza:
- our*
- Thrice:
- they are still miles away tho
- Nick:
- We don't know of any]
- Eliza:
- "We've still got _______ left that are still close by."
- Thrice:
- there's the beach
- Thrice:
- wouldn't be a ton of Pokemon there, but there'd probably be a couple
- Ivan:
- "Oh, it's that far? Well whatever, you're the one who lives here. Not much time before sundown I think."
- Thrice:
- I told merge of a few places
- Eliza:
- She slides a map in front of Ivan, "Yeah... I guess it's been awhile."
- Nick: (( aight, I have food in me ))
- Eliza: (( I forgot the places dammit ))
- Eliza: (( hold up ))
- Eliza: (( I wrote them down ))
- Nick:
- Nick makes "conversation" with Galf as they walk along. "So what's your take on this, bud? Everything you thought your first day would be?"
- Eliza:
- "We've got the beach to the south, and then the lake to the north. Fairly walkable before the night really kicks in."
- Eliza:
- "Otherwise, your generic forestland all around."
- Eliza:
- Eliza taps her cheeks, "With the night crawling toward us, we might even spot some more nocturnal types."
- Nick:
- "As for me, geez... I can hardly believe I'm going off on this. I barely even know the girl."
- Ivan:
- "I dunno, if you want my opinion, the lake maybe then? It's your turn to catch something."
- Eliza:
- "Well yes, that is true, but that doesn't mean that you're not going to catch anything either. It'd be a win-win."
- Eliza:
- "The beach it is then."
- Galf:
- Galf obviously can't talk back to Nick, but is probably happy to be free of the professor anyway. He is, regardless, hungry, and his immediate opinion of his new trainer(s) is going to depend on how well fed he is. He couldn't exactly eat geodudes.
- Eliza:
- salads weren't his thing either
- Eliza:
- esp burnt ones
- Galf:
- That Budew was burned alive man nothing left.
- Nick:
- The poor thing
- Nick:
- couldn't even make a flambe out of it
- Nick:
- "We're not going to be trying to jump them, yeah? Just listen in, see if I can pick up what their story is..."
- Nick:
- 10 I guess I can Intuition the hunger.
- Thrice:
- You can probably tell it is hungry, yeah
- Thrice:
- Nick, you have to hustle to catch up to them. They weren't moving quickly, but they do have a headstart
- Nick:
- Play me off, Mercy
- Thrice:
- If you do so, Galf can track them down easily enough, esp since there's the odd blood droplet on the ground
- Nick:
- "I'll pick you up something to eat on the way back, yeah? We need to move it until then!"
- Thrice:
- You catch up to them just a bit outside the city, ten minutes or so past the walls. One of them, a girl, speaks in a shaky voice, while two other male voices try unsuccessfully to console her.
- Nick: (( They're just walking along the path or something? ))
- Thrice:
- Yeah, they don't seem to be havin' no worries about hiding
- Thrice:
- As for the beach, it's a little empty at this time of the day, but there are still a few straggling Trainers around, and quite a few Pokemon. Mostly, they're Water Types, as you'd expect, but you also spot a couple of Burmy hanging from the trees, and there are a lot of silhouettes by the water proper you can't make out
- Thrice:
- there's a map for the beach I guess
- Eliza:
- where to spawn
- Nick:
- Nick slows his pace after Galf indicates that they've caught up on the group, and shushes any growling he may be doing. He matches his walking speed to theirs, and listens in from a distance.
- Eliza:
- "I guess this wasn't the most unique idea. I'm not sure if there's anything left."
- Thrice:
- Most of the people here are gathered around the small ice cream stand
- Thrice:
- The girl mostly seems to be nervous about whatever just went down, while one of the boys, the deeper-voiced, slack-mouthed one, assures her they didn't do anything wrong. The other adds that none of the students would dare speak anyway, with what he had on them. This does not reassure the girl.
- Nick: (( probably all I'm gonna get. Gonna engage, writing a post ))
- Ivan:
- "Yeah. Maybe just challenge some folks to a battle or something if you don't have any better ideas. Maybe just call it a day and get ice cream?" He'd certainly gone through enough to be in the mood, even if would be blatantly intruding on a conversation to go buy it.
- Thrice:
- The crass boy mentions something about how hard it is to get blood out of a white cravat
- Thrice:
- this also doesn't reassure the girl
- Thrice:
- you can move to wherever you want on the map really
- Ivan: (( buying random non gameplay plot irrelevant junk like food isn't -money as far as I'm aware ))
- Eliza:
- Eliza laughs, "Yeah I guess some ice cream and battle wouldn't hurt. I'm going to take a stroll along the beachside and see if there's anything I might want to pick up."
- Thrice:
- not for an ice cream no, though they do have some that cost 100 and give a Food Buff that cures Burn
- Eliza:
- "Feel free to start one as you see fits."
- Thrice:
- and some that give a Food Buff that heals 5 HP
- Thrice:
- that cost 50
- Nick:
- "Hey there, you folks alright? My dog here picked up a scent trail, and I've been seeing some blood here and there." 17 Guile
- Eliza: (( what in the fuck is that sandpile ))
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Mmh, how do you make this stuff so good?! I can't believe they're missing this!"
- Eliza: (( it has a shovel in its head ))
- Nick:
- that's a Kelli if I ever saw one.
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- its name is Sandygast pls no bully
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- u don't want a nosejob do u
- Eliza: (( I don't even these pokemon ))
- Eliza: (( at least wooper is cute ))
- Eliza:
- I guess I'll walk the entire beach side, even the huge ass ledge
- Nick:
- Mareanie tho
- Eliza: (( tf is that ))
- Harper:
- "Huh...? Oh, we should have paid more attention... We're fine, thanks for your concern."
- Nick:
- it a mareanie
- Nick:
- well at least it's not Scarlett
- Eliza: (( should I even bother going to the other side ))
- Harper:
- "My friend thought he'd try and impress us by challenging Rowurke immediately. It didn't go well for him."
- Eliza: (( a golem will explode here I feel it ))
- Nick: (( I recognize the name Harper. ))
- Nick: (( I'm not sure why. ))
- Eliza: (( ur dumb ))
- Harper:
- i forgot to make those visible
- Nick: (( I dabeeted myself, my b ))
- Eliza: (( oh fuck its an oddish ))
- Nick:
- "Yeah? That's why he's all bloodied up, huh?"
- Ivan:
- He goes and orders some generic ice cream. "I'll have whatever she's having. Looks good." He figured if she was enjoying it so much it had to be good. "Yeah, I imagine challenging any gym leader on your first day's pointless. Your pal's Pokemon come back in a body bag?"
- Nick:
- "She looks pretty beaten up about it. It went that bad?"
- Nick: (( afk bathroom ))
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- i think warlord got confuzzled
- Warlord:
- Yes I did, can ignore second half of dialogue
- Eliza:
- Eliza decides to scout for some Mons atop her Skiddo, taking in the fertile soils and potential Grass types. Unfortunately no spectacular outliers in the bunch, but she approaches the Oddish minding its own buisness.
- Warlord:
- The tiny avatars in the chat are just animus wearing yellow
- Warlord:
- and are thus the same.
- Harper:
- "He was...quite angry. Kind of a shock to someone who was just the other day, a diligent student of his."
- Harper:
- "He doesn't take it easy on those who underestimate him, thinking he'll be an easy win."
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Oh, hey! You're here for the ice cream, too? Nobody told me it was this good!"
- Eliza:
- The nurse takes out a berry from her satchel and tries to reach the attention of the leafy Pokemon.
- Ivan:
- "Well actual reason I came here was supposed to be to look for some wild water Pokemon...But ice cream's good too. You made it look good enough I couldn't pass it by."
- Thrice:
- The Oddish is partially buried underground, but its eyes poke out slightly, and it notices the berry. It...also notices you, and is rather startled
- Warlord: (( why is fire horse on beach ))
- Thrice:
- sand is warm
- Eliza: (( burning ))
- Warlord: (( I guess it is. Though it's not at night. ))
- Thrice:
- still got some residual heat
- Thrice:
- makes as much sense as being in a random house
- Warlord: (( all fire pokemon live in one abandoned mansion ))
- Warlord: (( this is canon ))
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Oh, it's delicious! I came down here to train, but I got distracted, too... I think my Pokemon buried itself somewhere in the sand...
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "
- Eliza:
- "Er... hello there, sorry to disturb you little one. I didn't mean to startle you." She looks off to the side trying to remember how to friendly.
- Nick:
- god damn I misread that hard
- Nick:
- thought she thought sand was a delicacy
- Eliza:
- She sets the berry beside the Oddish and puts some gloves on. "Let's compare soils then." She hails Passe and she takes a sample of the dirt besdies the Oddish and brings it up to Skiddo.
- Eliza:
- Survival (Is this good dirt): ( 15 )
- Ivan:
- "Oh, you're a trainer too? Alright. When we're done here, how about a quick battle? To pretend we didn't waste our time here." He chuckled. He mostly wanted an excuse to eat more ice cream by getting some extra cash.
- Thrice:
- It's not particularly great, being so close to the beach. It's mostly sand, which ain't great for growing much. Weeds and short grass, some palm trees...well, youi could grow Pamtre berries.
- Nick:
- Nick looks to Donatello, gaugeing if there's any truth to the story. 11 Intuition
- Eliza:
- Liz takes a handful of soil from Passe and offers it to Oddish, hoping it'd prefer its freshness and willing to move to better earth pastures.
- Eliza:
- "Don't you think it's a bit rough living here on the beach?" she asks rhetorically, looking around at poor soil qualities.
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Sure! I'd just have to find my Pokemon... Well, I have another, but...I just caught it, so it doesn't like me much."
- Ivan:
- "Same for me actually. My starter pokemon's off with a friend right now, so I only have my two I just caught. Should be fair."
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Sure! I just hope it listens..."
- 19
- Harper:
- The guy doesn't seem that sketchy, but you don't think Rowurke would seriously injure anyone...
- Harper:
- And the guy doesn't look injured at all.
- Harper:
- Except for his knuckles
- Nick:
- did seem a bit out of character from what -little- I knew
- Nick:
- emphasis on little
- Oddish:
- The Oddish sort of freezes when you get so close, but it locks its eyes on your goat, avoiding yours. The soil seems to catch its attention, but it's still wary of you
- Oddish:
- I would roll to raise its Disposition
- Oddish:
- normally that's Charm unless you have something like Groomer
- Eliza:
- ohfuk
- Eliza:
- that's the thing i was looking for
- Nick:
- Nick furrows his eyebrows. "Seems like a bit of an overreaction for just a bit of pride, doesn't it?"
- Eliza:
- Charm: ( 5 )
- Nick:
- nope
- Eliza:
- yessir
- Passefaro:
- betch
- Oddish:
- The Oddish has decided that it is indeed afraid of Ms Lethal Injection, and tries to bail
- Oddish:
- it is in the ground
- Oddish:
- this does not work very well
- Harper:
- "Well, it isn't like he's hurt very badly... It's my friend's fault for challenging him so cockishly."
- Harper:
- "I wouldn't let it stain your image of the Leader."
- Myrtle:
- Myrtle has remained silent, still shaken.
- Eliza:
- "Er... shit." She thinks to herself about how she wasn't really one to play too nicely. Ms. Syringe sighs and let's Passe try and console it. If this doesn't work third strike.
- Raphael:
- Raphael has remained silent for fear of fucking everything up
- Raphael:
- he'll let his forked-tongued friend do the talking
- Passefaro:
- This cute lil fucker presses its nose against the Oddish, and nudges it playfully.
- Impressively Dressed Beachgoer:
- "Hey, you hear that, Jerry? You can see a real live Pokemon Battle between those two! Someone who's not your bro, I mean..."
- Passefaro:
- do it or ill kill you
- Nick:
- "I don't think I will." He nods to Myrtle. "Anyway, stay safe out here, yeah? I've heard there's a couple of creeps in the area, claiming to be Rangers, beating up random passerby on a whim..."
- Eliza:
- Eliza goes off on this end of the beach and heads towards the water, surprised that there are still so many mons left, but ultimately decides to inspect the waters for anything.
- Nick: (( What could I roll to make Raph break his quietness ))
- Eliza:
- Perspective: ( 12 )
- Nick: (( Goad him into blowing his cover ))
- Nick:
- perspective wat
- Oddish:
- Having the Grass-type along to persuade helps, but...not enough to convince the Oddish to give up on its assumption of Ms. Lethal Injection. It tries to waddle away
- Eliza:
- it's perception duh
- Passefaro:
- Passe attempts to Threaded the Oddish.
- Nick: (( Guile seems about right though maybe it'd be a combat maneuver? (hmm) ))
- Passefaro:
- 6
- Myrtle:
- "U-uh...oh...Thanks... I didn't...know that?"
- Myrtle:
- Guile probably, you'd need to at least describe what you're trying to do/say as well
- Some Kid:
- "Aw, really? Are they gonna get knocked out like yours?"
- Oddish:
- You hit the Oddi
- Nick:
- "I hope your knuckles get better soon."
- Nick:
- "Don't think I caught your name?"
- Thrice:
- There's not much in the shallows, it seems all the Pokemon on the shore scared them deeper
- Nick:
- 27
- Nick:
- oshit
- Passefaro:
- Passe plants the oddish right into it's soily mane, and hope it gets comfy. It also starts walking around and gives its leaves a ruffle.
- Raphael:
- "What? Oh, uh...yeah, he uh..you know teachers, rappin' kids on the knuckles."
- Passefaro:
- das a good roll btw
- Nick: (( But yeah, I'm basically just trying to communicate that I know what they did and jostle them into admitting to it, and giving me more information ))
- Raphael:
- "My name's, uh....Vasko." Harper shoots him a strange look, while Myrtle just seems confused.
- Raphael:
- "...oh...Shit. Uh, anyway, what do you want, kid?"
- Oddish:
- The Oddish cannot overpower the Skiddo and must accept its fate, it is dead now
- Eliza:
- Eliza takes a deep breath looking into the waves with a bit of sorrow, letting out some of her worries before returning to the kidnapping of Oddish.
- Nick:
- "What do I want? What do you mean? I was just on my way off. Galf's been hungry for a while, gotta keep the boy full."
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "You done with your ice cream yet? I wanna see how strong your Pokemon is! You look like you've been at this for a while!"
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- whether she means battling or eating none shall ever know
- Raphael:
- "...uh...then why are you still here?"
- Nick:
- "I think he was hoping the trail'd end in something he could finish off."
- Myrtle:
- "You can be nicer to people...please..."
- Nick:
- I mean I haven't moved my token but I was pretty clearly saying my goodbyes and prying a name out
- Raphael:
- "Yeah, yeah. Well, see you, then."
- Harper:
- "We really need to get going. It's a long way to Connough Valley..."
- Galf:
- Galf takes the chance to growl lowly at them though isn't unhinged enough to attack.
- Nick:
- Nick just puts his hands in his pockets and nods to Galf to come along, walking away. "Good tracking back there. I'll get you something from the meat market."
- Ivan:
- "Hey, I had to eat a lot of ice cream with the money I was gonna get from this next fight!" He showed a bit of overconfidence, given he doubted "something she just caught" could fight off a dusclops. He went to stand up while still holding some in his hand. "You weren't kidding, it's good stuff. I'm ready if you are though."
- Harper:
- "I really hope that kid's got a bad memory. You're a special kind of dumbass, Raphael..." The trio fades into the sunset ala the end of every anime episode ever
- Nick: (( So I assume there's some kind of database of rangers. ))
- Warlord:
- (I think that's the only drop you've had of his name)
- Warlord:
- (I didn't give it to you)
- Harper: (( if Nick heard Harps call him Raphael yeh ))
- Nick:
- I don't think I even heard that last line just now
- Harper: (( otherwise he's only got the BS fake name to go off of ))
- Nick:
- p sure it was just for the camera
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Well, let's go find my Pokemon! It should be somewhere in the sand... And easy to spot..."
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "There it is! I hope!" She points to a slow whirlpool in the sand, and jogs over to it. She reaches in, and huge jaws snap up from the swirl! ...but, she pries them open with her bare hands. "Hah! Gotcha! This was my starter! It...I don't know if it likes me yet, either...but it obeyed me against that grouchy girl, so it'll be okay."
- Warlord: (( I assumed it was the oddish the entire time ))
- Oddish:
- The Oddish has been stuck to the kid, the goat
- Oddish:
- it isn't strong enough to pry itself away
- Eliza:
- Coming back to the Oddish, she looks at it oddly, she bends down to pick up her offered berry and plants it right into Passe beside the buried Oddish. "I guess I'll try a ball." 8
- Ivan:
- "Oh, you got one of those deltas, huh? You get a Pokemon from the professor too?" He thought they'd agreed to use what they just caught, but he doubted anything could 1v1 Dusclops anyway.
- Ivan: (( I am saying it's delta off it being randomly green and a starter on same day I got mine ))
- Nick: (( I'll go ahead and spend an amount of money on Galf's treat, just 50p so it's of some quality ))
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Well, I COULD use what I just caught, I guess...."
- Eliza:
- 92
- Eliza:
- Yeah...
- Eliza:
- That probablty doesn't work
- Nick:
- naaaisu.
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "But I figured you'd like to see a Delta Pokemon in action!"
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- idk
- Capture Rate: 66
- Oddish:
- nope
- Oddish:
- not even close
- Oddish:
- HP matters a lot I guess
- Oddish:
- The ball bounces off the Oddish
- Oddish:
- It is sad now
- Oddish:
- it has been kidnapped and is being beaten
- Oddish:
- why would you do this
- Eliza:
- Eliza lets out an even bigger sigh, "How do people do this. I guess I'll have to do this the old fashion way."
- Ivan:
- Gave her a dismissive hand motion with his free hand, still eating ice cream with the other. "It's fine. Don't think there's anything special about mine...But sometimes simple brute strength is best." He releases the Dusclops again.
- Oddish:
- I will use my most powerful move
- Oddish:
- 16
- Eliza:
- oh fuk
- Oddish:
- a sweet aroma wafts through the air
- Oddish:
- this is my most powerful move
- Oddish:
- carry on
- Eliza:
- muh evasion
- Eliza:
- She walks off to the side and nods to Passe, "Okay, just like we trained. I know it's a bit different than we're used to but give it a shot!"
- Eliza:
- "Oh. This smell... feels vaguely familiar."
- Eliza:
- "Alright! Show that plant who's got the big roots!"
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Ooh, that looks pretty tough! Uh, let's make a little room, okay? This guy likes to get messy..."
- Wingull 1:
- skwawk i am the worst animal
- Passefaro:
- here comes the paintrain
- Passefaro:
- 8 Bulldoze
- Oddish:
- bu
- Oddish:
- but
- Oddish:
- this is mean
- Oddish:
- you're mean
- Passefaro:
- im brutal as fuck
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Hmm...I wonder what I can do here..."
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl: (( so what's Richard up to ))
- Passefaro:
- BRUTE DOZE @Oddish Ground | Physical 2d8+10 | 30
- With the Oddish still planted in the mane of the goat, the Skiddo rams its head into the ground and the earth erupts outwards.
- Nick: (( Me? I'm walking back idk ))
- Ivan:
- "You might wanna move too, kid. I did just catch her today but Enya's pretty violent."
- Nick: (( Bought some meat for Galf ))
- Some Kid:
- "Oh, sure!"
- Some Kid: (( well I mean you didn't want warlord and merge to have to sit and do nothing i assumed this worked both ways ))
- Nick: (( I'll try to reunite with these guys, but I don't think I got a response to my question of whether I could get access to a database of rangemen ))
- Warlord: (( you were supposed to fight them, it was my brilliant plan to get exp for multiple pokemans at once. ))
- Warlord: (( meat buff will do. ))
- Nick: (( Look these shitters up ))
- Some Kid: (( you would not be able to, no. Not by yourself anyway. You could ask D'Arcy, or your sister, or you know some actual Ranger ))
- Enya: (( does dusclops normally get levitate in PTU? ))
- Enya: (( just now noticed. ))
- Some Kid: (( it does ))
- Some Kid: (( actually I don't think DUSCLOPS does, just duskull ))
- Nick: (( Yeah, seems right ))
- Some Kid: (( but that's stupid why would something lose the ability to float ))
- Some Kid: (( like geodude > graveler, sure ))
- Some Kid: (( graveler weighs a billion pounds ))
- Enya:
- -1 knock off
- Passefaro:
- knock that off
- Enya: (( I have evasion training not accuracy training ))
- Enya: (( bah ))
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- NOW PLAYING Rockman Zero Telos Arrange - Volcano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbjYa4TUxHM
- Welter:
- The Trapinch chomps down on the Duskull! Or uh, chomps up, I guess
- Welter:
- 19 And I DO have Focused Training
- Welter:
- at least it's not brutal
- Nick:
- Aight, I guess I'll go see Rowurke.
- Welter:
- Damage: 27, Physical
- Nick:
- Assuming he's not drowned in gym challenges.
- Welter: (( Rowurke's not a Ranger ))
- Nick:
- He's not
- Welter:
- and that'd SE, of course
- Nick:
- but he did face them, or at least they claimed he did.
- Welter:
- The Trapinch then burrows underground, and pops back up just a little ways away....
- Enya:
- Enya took 18 damage. It's super effective!
- Welter:
- Underneath this shell, using it as protection
- Enya: (( does that do anything? ))
- Oddish:
- Oddish took heavy damage!
- Oddish:
- sorry thjat took so long
- Oddish:
- i dunno probably, it's usin some top tier strats @warlord
- Oddish:
- this is why cubones kill their mothers and put their skulls on
- Oddish:
- how else do you think marowak's flimsy ass has 110 defense
- Enya:
- Even with only one eye I can see you over there. Die please. This cannot meme miss. 10 shadow punch
- Welter:
- That hits of course
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "I hope that pays off!"
- Enya:
- Shadow Punch @Insignificant small green creature Ghost | Physical 2d8+10 | 37
- You will not evolve into Slowbro by hiding under there whelp.
- Rowurke:
- Rowurke isn't swamped by Gym Battles, oddly enough. It seems like Jackie's been convincing enough people to steer clear of him for the time being. He...doesn't seem particulalry cranky to you, though.,
- Enya: (( Oh I just noticed this, I am not sure if this is too late ))
- Enya: (( but disable does not take my turn and is basically a passive ))
- Enya: (( I just win if I disable bite. ))
- Welter: (( sure, you can do that ))
- Welter:
- Welter took heavy damage!
- Welter:
- The shell cracks open, but it absorbed some of the force!
- Mareanie:
- I will kill you both I swear to god
- Welter:
- 10 This can't miss and I don't know why Trapinch learns both this and Bite at level 1
- Welter:
- Damage: 34, Physical
- Welter:
- SE
- Nick:
- bite AND crunch.
- Oddish:
- 15 The Oddish tries to suck out nutrients from your goat
- Nick:
- I'd swing by Jackie first and get the girl's actual name.
- Oddish:
- Damage: 25, Special
- Oddish:
- neutral
- Passefaro:
- Passefaro took 10 damage.
- Oddish:
- Oddish is healed and gains 5 hit points.
- Warlord: (( If he does he just randomly does in PTU book ))
- Warlord: (( he is not supposed to get it until 22 ))
- Passefaro:
- Gonna tackle dat ass -1
- Oddish:
- no
- Passefaro:
- no ass to tackle
- Oddish:
- it's bite and feint attack
- Nick:
- AND Crunch.
- Warlord: (( crunch is 22 ))
- Oddish: (( it is ))
- Oddish: (( FA is L1 ))
- Enya:
- Enya took major damage!
- Oddish:
- 17 let me gooooooo
- Oddish:
- Damage: 21, Special
- Nick:
- "Hey there, Professor! You got a moment?"
- Passefaro:
- Passefaro took 6 damage.
- Oddish:
- that'd be at least 1 Injury @Warlord
- Enya:
- The injury lowered the Accuracy stat!
- Passefaro:
- 4 b u l l d o z e
- Oddish:
- Oddish is healed and gains 3 hit points.
- Oddish:
- I THINK major means it did 50% or more but i don't recall
- Oddish:
- that might actually be worded as massive
- Passefaro:
- 2ND DOZE @ODDISH Ground | Physical 2d8+10 | 29
- more earth, more waves
- Oddish:
- Oddish took heavy damage!
- Enya:
- 16 backs away and night shades for 12 damages.
- Oddish:
- The injury lowered the Speed stat!
- Oddish:
- yeah major is 2
- Oddish:
- heavy is 1
- Nick: (( I'm gonna move myself to the beach ))
- Eliza:
- gonna ball ya 1
- Nick: (( for convenience for Thrice ))
- Oddish:
- well
- Enya:
- The injury lowered the Speed stat!
- Oddish:
- that is a hit
- Oddish:
- bc Status class
- Eliza:
- 16
- Eliza:
- notbad
- Oddish:
- oh right and Bite flinched
- Oddish:
- meaning -5 Init and Vulnerable
- Oddish:
- the vulnerable thing only lasts a round and doesn't matter bc like
- Oddish:
- feint attack cna't miss anyway
- Oddish:
- That definitely captures it
- Enya: (( well I am hoping you have nothing else to hit me with while feint is on cooldown. ))
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Uhh...it's floating, so...uh...bite it again??"
- Welter:
- It tries to, cannot, and then does anyway 18
- Welter:
- this is resisted
- Welter:
- Damage: 36, Physical
- Welter:
- as it is not in fact Bite
- Enya: (( what, is it typeless then ))
- Nick:
- but is it in DEED
- Welter:
- no, it's resisted by you
- Enya: (( I am immune to normal and ground ))
- Eliza:
- Eliza pinches the bridge of her nose, "Okay, that's done with. A good capture finally. These leaves will come in handy. But first..." She releases the Oddish for a moment.
- Nick:
- Poison Fang, possibly?
- Oddish:
- why did you do this to me
- Enya: (( oh you're a delta it's some random type like grass ))
- Enya:
- Enya took 9 damage. It's not very effective...
- Enya: (( still enough dam. ))
- Oddish:
- The Oddish would like to waddle away again
- Oddish:
- But it is afraid
- Passefaro:
- Passe gives the Oddish some nice soil to nuture in. (Milk Drink)
- Oddish:
- you have thrown shade at the oddish
- Oddish:
- it appreciates this
- Oddish:
- Oddish is healed and gains 22 hit points.
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Whoa?! You beat that thing? Awesome! You're a lot more powerful than you look...maybe I should have named you Cruiser..."
- Enya: (( generic knock off miss was a loss. Did you even take the 12 damage from night shade ))
- Enya: (( or was I still behind the init ))
- Welter:
- Welter loses 12 hit points.
- Welter:
- The injury lowered the Defense stat!
- Welter: (( I think you should have been behind anyway but yeah ))
- Eliza:
- "It'll probably take some time to get used to me, but I hope we can work together in the future. Your leaves could save lives." She keeps her distance for now and let's Passe carry the Oddish in it's dirt.
- Oddish:
- this thing is huge wtf
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Anyway, you don't have to pay me, I'll just cancel that... Just buy me some really good ice cream and we'll call it even!"
- Eliza:
- "Alright, I'm sure Ivan is trying to dunk on somebody. Let's head back."
- Ivan:
- Ivan came out and shrugged. "Guess hiding under that shell and junk paid off. Deltas are stronger than they look, I guess...Wish she'd had gone that easy on me." He went to pay her arbitrary amount pokedex said, pretty annoyed at Enya for losing.
- Ivan: (( Oh didn't read message yet. ))
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- the really good ice cream is 150 yendollars
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- which is a lot less than the actual cost of losing would have been
- Ivan: (( fine with me ofc ))
- Ivan: (( I spammed how I wanted her money so lol. ))
- Rowurke:
- "Huh? Oh, weren't you one of those kids who barged into my classroom earlier? With that mousey girl? Sure, come on in. What's up?"
- Eliza:
- "Uh, sorry it took so long." She returns to the right side of the beach, "I see you started."
- Rowurke:
- He's sorting through some papers, grading some and separating them into piles.
- Ivan:
- "Yeah. Enya's probably gonna need some more training...You catch that little Oddish with you?"
- Eliza:
- "Yeah, I haven't done this in years. I can still feel the rust, guess my return capture was a fluke."
- Eliza:
- "You want me to patch the cyclops?" She eyes Enya and points with her cane.
- Eliza:
- o its gone
- Eliza:
- points to the ball I guess*
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Thanks, man! This is DELISH! Huh? Oh, is this your wife?"
- Nick:
- "Yeah, that was me. Sorry about that. We found the right room eventually. Anyway - I'm doing a little bit of investigative work. You know (HER NAME)? A couple of shady characters beat the tar out of her earlier... didn't get the full story, but they claimed to be Rangers, and that just won't do."
- Ice-Cream Devouring Girl:
- "Nice to meetcha, ma'am! I'm Kelli!"
- Nick: (( Called it ))
- Warlord: (( Yeah Merge is the wife and Agi is the kid. ))
- Eliza: (( we shouldve gotten an abortion ))
- Eliza: (( jokes ))
- Nick:
- ow
- Nick:
- oww
- Eliza: (( we love you nick even if you're in debt for pride ))
- Eliza: (( its taking right out of our supply ))
- Nick:
- "I caught up with them, but I was on my own... couldn't really do much more than talk. They said they'd taken your gym challenge earlier today, I was hoping you might be able to help me get some names."
- Rowurke:
- "...what? Wait, hold on - slow down. You said Anya got attacked? By Rangers? Does D'Arcy know about this?"
- Rowurke:
- "He's the captain of the brigade stationed here, since...you're probably new here. He knows every Ranger here by name and sight."
- Rowurke:
- "...and I hate to tell you this, but I haven't had any challengers all day."
- Ivan:
- "Oh, uh, just a friend." He laughed. "She's got her own kids who've gone off on their own pokemon journies, but none of 'em are mine." He addresses Eliza. "Yeah, that'd be nice. Would rather not use the Graveler out here."
- Eliza:
- First Aid Expertise
- Nick:
- Nick shakes his head. "Haven't been to him yet. I'd kind of hoped the 'Ranger' thing was just a smokescreen to keep anyone from speaking up..."
- Enya:
- only at -4
- Eliza:
- remove one injury and all hit points are restored
- Kelli:
- "Ooh, Graveler! I know what you mean, I'm kind of afraid my Pokemon would rust so close to saltwater..."
- Kelli: (( for future refernece: Potions and the like don't actually immediately revive you; only Revives, Moves, and Features that heal do ))
- Eliza: (( oh right ))
- Kelli: (( First Aid Expertise is also an Extended Action ))
- Kelli: (( but here you're okay ))
- Eliza: (( noted ))
- Nick:
- "...but it looks like I fell for another one myself. Really, none? I'd hoped there was a grain of truth in their BS story."
- Kelli: (( just can't do it in combat, it takes a couple of minutes ))
- Eliza: (( I assumed combat was over ))
- Eliza: (( which is why I used it ))
- Kelli: (( yeah you're good here, I'm just reminding for the future ))
- Enya: (( sick that's some OP healing syringe steroids m8 ))
- Eliza:
- Eliza takes out her cane and twists the handle, a fresh needle comes sticking out, "Hmm, riiiiight..." Boink. "Here." A stabilizer fluid is injected into the ghosty thing somehow.
- Enya:
- Enya is healed and gains 48 hit points.
- Enya:
- Enya is healed and gains 0 hit points.
- Eliza:
- dont forget to remove and injury
- Enya:
- The injury lowered the Defense stat!
- Eliza:
- yes
- Rowurke:
- "No...the last one I had was a while ago. He wasn't no Ranger, either, made that pretty clear."
- Nick: (( removing injuries is uh, more complicated than it should be ))
- Nick: (( it currently only works properly through the Recover Fully macro or knowing what you're doing. ))
- Eliza:
- Eliza pats the Dusclops on the... head, "All better."
- Enya: (( I just cleared all combat stages outside of the one injury ))
- Enya: (( do "injury markers" matter ))
- Eliza:
- you also get a bit more hp recovered too
- Rowurke: (( yeah ))
- Nick: (( That's just storage space basically ))
- Rowurke: (( kind of ))
- Enya:
- Enya is healed and gains 12 hit points.
- Rowurke: (( they tell the Recover Macro what to clear ))
- Eliza: (( there ye go ))
- Nick: (( The Recover Fully macro looks at them to know which CSes to not remove ))
- Enya:
- Enya probably prefers Eliza for healing her, catching her, and because of grill power. She probably does not enjoy being pet though.
- Eliza:
- Eliza retracts her hand and the needle within her cane, "Uh, sorry." She nods. "You got any more plans? Maybe I should capture one more for safety's sake."
- Ivan:
- "Well I brought plenty of balls with me. May as well get a token Water type....You should probably get something besides Grass Pokemon too."
- Nick:
- "Guess I'll check with D'Arcy then... thanks. Though I guess... Jackie did say the guy was a student. You don't know of any red-headed rich kids with a knack for causing trouble, do you?"
- Eliza:
- "Anything catch your eye? I know there was a Ponyta and Litleo in case water wasn't your jam."
- Kelli:
- Kelli scarfs down her ice cream, reminding herself of the worst Kirby enemy, and then bids you farewell unless there are any objections, "I should prooobably go back to the Center now...those two are probably worried."
- Rowurke:
- "...uh, yeah."
- Rowurke:
- "Anya, for starters. Then there's Raphael..."
- Eliza:
- "Take care, it's getting dark so do be careful."
- Rowurke:
- "And me, back when I dyed my hair."
- Nick:
- "It was you all along!"
- Ivan:
- "I think I see something on the other side of the beach. Should be easy to ambush."
- Ivan:
- He motions off to the Slowpoke.
- Kelli:
- "Don't worry, I'll be okay!" She heads off to the weast
- Nick:
- "The name he gave me was 'Vasko' or something, but that didn't sit right with me. You have a picture?"
- Eliza:
- "Oh whoa, I didn't even see it. Go get 'em tiger." She waves off to Kelli.
- Ivan: (( Mean, may as well use the Pokemon you heal steroided the shit out of. ))
- Eliza:
- Eliza looks around and spots the Mareanie, "That doesn't look remotely Grass-like at all. I might try my hand at that one."
- Eliza: (( its either that or the sandcastle thing ))
- Ivan: (( but WINGULL!!!!! ))
- Eliza: (( fuckgull ))
- Nick:
- the winnest of gulls
- Rowurke:
- "Vasko...Vasko...huh. I think I've heard that before, but...I can't place it. Maybe he just used another student's name."
- Eliza:
- "Not that you need any assistance, but just holler if you need anything. I'll be right here." She motions Passe for another round.
- Oddish:
- I should name this thing
- Rowurke:
- "And..unfortunately, no, I don't have any. You could talk to the yearbook committee, they just put one out. Should have all the data."
- Mari:
- 420
- Ivan:
- Ivan casually walks up to the Slowpoke to try to not alert it before attacking it alongside his Pokemon.
- Rowurke:
- "I don't make a habit of decking my halls with creepy photos of my students."
- Ivan: (( I assume the Wingull doesn't care ))
- Passefaro:
- It's time bitch, I'm gonna dash on in and bulldoze the beach. 14 Surprise
- Wingull 2:
- The wingull flies off when you get close
- Nick:
- "There's an idea. I'll give it a go."
- Slowpoke:
- the slowpoke has not noticed you yet
- Nick:
- "Thanks, teach."
- Slowpoke:
- give it time
- Passefaro:
- startled in the next century
- Mareanie:
- You have hit the Mareanie!
- Nick:

- Rowurke:
- "No problem."
- Eliza:
- though it should probably attack back
- Eliza:
- before I do that
- Eliza:
- I don't get priority
- Slowpoke:
- The Slowpoke has been looked at meanly
- Eliza:
- the humanity
- Ivan:
- Ivan stomps next to the Slowpoke's tail to gets its attention when right up against it to intimidate it, not wanting it to escape into the ocean. Even though it's fucking slow he doesn't want to get wet.
- Mareanie:
- The Mareanie is, in fact, mean
- Mareanie:
- And damn smart
- Mareanie:
- also not blind
- Enya:

- Eliza:
- Eliza wipes the pins off of her skin and whips a ball right onto the head of the spiker.
- Eliza:
- I rolled earlier
- Slowpoke:
- the Slowpoke turns around slowly
- Nick: (( Meanwhile I'm just gonna go buy a yearbook I guess. ))

- Nick:
- "that's why I'm going"
- Eliza:
- yeah
- Eliza:
- i remember now
- Eliza:
- bitch that's why im going
- Ponyta:
- don't even want a second mount
- Ponyta:
- i see how it is
- Eliza:
- you'll burn my crops
- Eliza:
- you dumb horse
- Ponyta:
- some are better smoked
- Eliza:
- what about bedew'd
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Beach' by player Warlord (Player)
- Ponyta:
- some NEED to be burned for their effects (D)
- Eliza:

- Wooper:
- poor woop

- Eliza:
- big whopper
- Wooper:
- but i knew Surf in Pokemon Colosseum
- Wooper:
- this made me like the best water type
- Wooper:
- not actually the best but GOOD
- Nick:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJum3mdJSrY
- Nick:
- my old Wooper from high school found my place of work
- Nick:
- I see him every day now
- Enya:
- Enya's Defense rose!
- Eliza:
- I should've got the wooper
- Eliza:
- it's free water
- Eliza:
- and soil
- Eliza:
- the perfect combo
- Wooper:
- wooper can't literally make groundness
- Wooper:
- can make water tho
- Slowpoke:
- Ready for this dump?
- Wooper:
- Mareanie can make poisons
- Nick:
- I might b
- Wooper:
- poisons are medicine
- Eliza:
- yes
- Eliza:
- and medicine is poison
- Eliza:
- perfect
- Eliza:
- how would I go about extracting this stuff anyway
- Eliza:
- stick a syringe and pull?
- Benzene:
- carefully.
- Eliza:
- I do have Press
- Eliza:
- does that work
- Eliza:
- s u c c
- Slowpoke:
- oh I only just now bothered to notice +attack nature. Hrm. Fuck. Still male though.
- Nick:
- It'll be fine
- Benzene:
- you'd probably be able to extract it with droppers
- Nick:
- Attack is viable, right?
- Benzene:
- and twisted power is a thing in this
- Benzene:
- mixed attacking slowpoke is viable
- Benzene:
- esp bc slowpoke only learns headbutt until level 50
- Slowpoke:
- 1 tackle 23 headbutt 32 zen headbutt.
- Eliza:
- droppers
- Eliza:
- but syringes are better droppers
- Eliza:
- and extractors
- Benzene:
- it only gets 1 more Special move
- Benzene:
- and two of those are Water Gun and Confusion
- Benzene:
- TM/Tutor wise it's p balanced
- Benzene:
- slowbro can learn Earthquake
- Benzene:
- and Brick Break, your favorite
- Benzene:
- and aerial ace for some fucking reason
- Benzene:
- i'd believe brick break over goddamned tsubame gaeshi
- Slowpoke: (( how do I get twisted power ))
- Slowpoke: (( olol ))
- Slowpoke:
- Slowpoke's HP rose!
- Benzene:
- any time after level 10 if you've invested 5 or more points into both attack and special attack you can spend 2 Tutor Points during Training
- Slowpoke:
- Slowpoke's Attack rose!
- Benzene:
- to gain it
- Slowpoke: (( yeah he meets those requirements. ))
- Slowpoke: (( can probably just call me to figure out this crap and my trainer level up before more inevitable stadium. ))
- Slowpoke: (( just went ahead and threw twisted power on it. ))
- Benzene:
- fair
- Eliza:
- agi what are you getting for l5
- Benzene:
- Ican't really play tonight though, I need to sleep soon
- Benzene:
- i think I'm off the next two days after tomorrow though
- Benzene:
- I'm not entirely sure
- Eliza:
- yeah whens next play date
- Slowpoke: (( I can play again whenever. ))
