Kaorin Sakura: 	Before gamestart: Egg ticking.
	Danny: 	Tick, tick, tick...
DNA: 	where's the kaboom? there was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!
Avara: 	In space, nobody can hear you kaboom.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Baby Lapras get.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Lapras can be found in your box, DNA.
DNA: 	squee!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Sunday, May 31st. 68 degrees F. Partly Cloduy, feels like 68 degrees F. From SW 7 mph wind. 68% Humidity. 65 degree dew point. 9.0 mile visibility. 29.97 in. pressure. 0 - Low UV Index.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Next 6 hours, partly cloudy with temperatures steady in the upper 60s. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Kaorin Sakura: 	1:45 P.M.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Welcome to the World of Pokémon!
	Venec: 	Venec held one arm and one leg of Ruta's and spun in circles, swinging her around!
DNA: 	dangit I wasn't done reverse engineering my tokens
	Ruta: 	"Wheee! Kyahahahaha!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Can wait then.
DNA: 	k done
DNA: 	proceed
	Danny: 	"I think that went well," Danny said, nodding, looking at the horror that surrounded him.
	Danny: 	"You have a harem now, Grace!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Pu-lease. I'm not interested in anything like that."
	Black egg with a glowing red center: 	* Shake.
	Ruta: 	"Can I have one too? Kyahaha!" Ruta laughed as she spun around.
	Danny: 	Danny was about to speak, but noticed the shaking egg. His eyes narrowed.
	Black egg with a glowing red center: 	* Shake. Shake.
	Danny: 	He approached and placed a hand on the egg.
	Venec: 	"Not until you're older." Venec chuckled and slowly sank to the ground, stopping his spin and pultting the dizzy Kirlia on his lap.
* Crystal looks at the egg in her arms, and holds it gently, but carefully--ready to adjust her grip once the egg broke.
	Danny: 	Danny closed his eyes, trying to get a read on the situation.
	Black egg with a glowing red center: 	* Cracks slowly begin to form.
You whisper to Avara: Are you ready to roleplay this character?
	Crystal: 	"Miranda, our child's about to hatch!"
	Venec: 	"Already?" Venec asked surprised. He would have stood up to see but he was still pretty dizzy.
	Danny: 	Danny prepared to use his magical powers of strength and awesome on the newly hatching baby.
* Miranda watches closely, her tail swaying from side to side.
* Cepheus White said nothing, but was intensely curious about who would hatch from the egg.
	Black egg with a glowing red center: 	* The egg shakes and cracks more and more before something emerges from it!
	Black egg with a glowing red center: 	* A humanoid silhouette emerges from the egg with a faint flash of white light as the egg dissipates into some sort of flowy material that slowly attaches itself onto the humanoid shape.
	Black egg with a glowing red center: 	* After a few moments, the shape solidifies...into...
Cepheus White has received initiative.
DNA: 	^...?
	Child: 	* A child of some sort.
* Crystal keeps her arms around her child, adjusting quickly as the energy solidifies to keep her from falling.
	Danny: 	Danny, using his Empathic abilities, bestows upon the child some extra power...
	Venec: 	Venec mostly caught a glimpse but decided flopping backward was just what the spinning needed.
	Venec: 	So he flopped on the grass, watching the clouds, waiting for his brain to unfuzzle.
* Miranda watches as the child is born and examines her closely.
* Danny rolls: 1d20+8 => 7 + 8 = 15
* Danny rolls: 1d20+8 => 14 + 8 = 22
	Danny: 	"There!" Danny grinned. "I feel like a midwife or something. I am so great!"
	Miranda: 	"Ah-hmm....She looks...entirely like a splice. Maybe a bit more attuned, not unlike those Pokémon naturally born."
	Danny: 	"What are you going to name her?" Danny asked.
	Danny: 	"Maybe she's smart enough to talk and give herself a name!"
* Child stares quietly at Miranda and Danny, before looking up at Crystal. She takes a bit, before smiling at everyone.
	Danny: 	"He-lo~ I am~ Dan-ny~"
	Danny: 	"What~ is~ you--re~ name~?"
* Miranda gently caresses the childs head and smiles happily.
* Child reaches out and pokes Danny's forehead. "Why~ Are~ You~ Tal~ king~ Like~ This?"
	Crystal: 	"I was thinking we'd name her Kate, if that's alright with her."
	Danny: 	"I~ al-ways~ talk~ like~ this~, just~ ask~ anyone~."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(No he doesn't!) Jupiter cried out from somewhere. But since he was in his Poke Ball, no one heard him.
	Ruta: 	Ruta recovers faster than Venec and skips right over. She bows when she reaches the child, skipping and smiling after, "My name is Ruta! Pleased to meet you!"
* Child sticks her tongue out at Danny. "You're silly."
* Child thinks for a bit, before nodding. "I like the name Kate!"
	Danny: 	"Ha! ~ Of-course~. You~ should~ be-silly-as-well~"
	Crystal: 	"Miranda, whose surname should she have?"
	Danny: 	Danny looked hopefuly. "Maybe I could be the godfather. That would be cool."
	Danny: 	"Never been a godfather before," Danny thought aloud.
	Danny: 	"Thank you for making me godfather to Kate." Danny cried. "Happiest day ever.
	Danny: 	"Quick! We skip onwards, Kate!"
* Crystal and Kate both just stare at Danny.
	Child: 	"What's a godfather?"
	Miranda: 	"Hm? Uhh, if you intend to keep yours whenever you marry, then I'd say yours."
	Ruta: 	Ruta skipped back to Venec.
	Danny: 	Danny skipped alongside Ruta. He was easily amused.
	Crystal: 	"Well, I..." She blushes a bit, then looks at Miranda. "Do -you- want to keep your name?"
	Miranda: 	"Mine doesn't mean much like yours does. So, probably not."
	Ruta: 	"I think she's busy." Ruta says to Danny, nodding. "She didn't have time to greet me back. So we have to introduce ourselves again later." she continued nodding.
	Larry: 	Larry walked past the new parents and Kate, smiling cheerfully, nodding happily. "Hello Miss Kate. Congratulations Miss Crystal and Miss Miranda."
	Miranda: 	"Thanks, Larr."
	Larry: 	Larry quickly walked to Danny with Cassia still in his arms.
	Venec: 	Venec chuckled, "Let the parents have some time." and he tossled the little pokemon's hair.
* Child watches the green-haired silly person and the pink...thing walk past, reaching towards them. "Wait! What are you!? And what's a godfather!?"
	Ruta: 	"Hee~" Ruta smiled as Venec's hand pet her, "Okay Papa!"
* Miranda hugged Crystal tight, "We're parents"!
	Cepheus White: 	"...Is this what it's like?" Cepheus said, under his breath, to no one in particular. He was thinking aloud.
	Larry: 	Larry looked at Kate. "A godfather is a very special person your parents choose to rely on," Larry answered, "and I am a Pokemon. A Slowking to be precise."
	Crystal: 	"Since you don't care much about your family name, Jenny it is. Jenny Kate."
	Ruta: 	Ruta raised her hand. "And I"m a Ralts!"
	Venec: 	"kirlia" venec whispered
	Ruta: 	"Kirlia!" Ruta corrected with her hand still raised.
	Larry: 	Larry nodded, smiling at Ruta. "A dazzling Kirlia named Ruta."
	Ruta: 	Ruta covered her mouth and giggled bashfully.
	Venec: 	"Aneue, we scouted out some pokemon, but do you think you could give a hand finding some shiny ones?"
	Lucy: 	"Hm??"
* Lucy looks around for a moment.
	Lucy: 	88
	Lucy: 	"..."
* Lucy wraps her tail around herself.
	Venec: 	"What is it?"
	Lucy: 	"...I didn't help. Sorry."
	Danny: 	"... are you sure, Lucy..."
	Venec: 	"If you can't find 'em there's probably none." Venec smiled and rolled to his feet, "Dun' worry about it."
	Danny: 	Danny sneezed, smirking.
	Lucy: 	( are you using Prob control? )
	Danny: 	(yep)
	Lucy: 	46
DNA: 	Don't forget, Danny, -5 HP for cost
	Lucy: 	"...Totally."
	Lucy: 	( Thanks, DNA. )
* DNA tips hat.
	Lucy: 	"Cepheus. May I help you become more astune with natural scents?"
	Danny: 	Danny loses 5 hit points.
	Lucy: 	attuned*
	Cepheus White: 	"...Hm? Why do you ask?"
	Venec: 	Shiny Hunt Roll under 78
Kaorin Sakura: 	What's that?
DNA: 	Lucy has 36 WIS?
DNA: 	No wait...
DNA: 	62?
Kaorin Sakura: 	It's modifier * 3, not stat.
	Venec: 	(nevermind, I thought it was score x 3)
DNA: 	I said WISmod, not wisdom.
DNA: 	Dyslexia sitting in?
	Danny: 	(cries, that feature is impossible to work o.o)
	Lucy: 	"...Would like to help."
	Venec: 	(No, just repetitively reading that class and seeing score every time)
	Cepheus White: 	"Help with...what?"
* Cepheus White was a tiny bit skeptical of why Lucy was offering. He couldn't place why.
	Venec: 	"She can teach you how to smell things better."
* Lucy nodded very slowly.
	Grace Appara: 	"..."
* Grace Appara watched Lucy uncomfortably.
* Cepheus White could feel Grace's eyes, like lasers.
	Danny: 	"...awkward..."
	Cepheus White: 	"...in order that I might...do what? I'm not exactly sure how that'd come in helpful for me."
	Danny: 	Danny coughed.
* Lucy glanced to Grace.
	Lucy: 	"...Nevermind."
	Ruta: 	Ruta looked back and forth before raising her hand, "You can teach me."
	Cepheus White: 	"...I had something I wanted to ask you, but...I guess I'll wait until later."
* Lucy looked down at Ruta and paused for a moment.
	Lucy: 	"I shall teach the Greens then."
	Ruta: 	"But I'm Ruta."
	Lucy: 	"Danny. Come to me."
	Cepheus White: 	(...That felt awkward.)
	Danny: 	Danny came.
* Lucy held out her hands and touched the nose of both Kirlia (somewhere) and Danny. She squeezed them and helped open the air passage in their nasals permanently.
* Lucy just taught boht Ruta and Danny Odor Sleuth. Capability 'Tracker' obtained.
	Ruta: 	Ruta snorted a few times, then sniffed, wriggling her face at the move's new sensation
	Danny: 	Danny sneezed.
	Danny: 	"I can .... SMELL!"
	Danny: 	"Smell like I never smelled before!" Danny breathed in deep, repeatedly.
	Danny: 	He tried to track whatever Lucy was tracking beforehand.
* Danny rolls: 1d20 => 10
You whisper to Danny: You capture the scent of Scizor to the north and Pachirisu to the northwest.
	Danny: 	"Cepheus!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Yes?"
	Danny: 	"You need a shower!"
	Grace Appara: 	"..."
	Danny: 	"However, I also caught the smell of a Scizor to the north!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Are you saying I smell bad?"
	Venec: 	" 's me probably. I've been sleepin in dirt for two days now."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Thank you for the insight, Danny. I will keep that in mind when we get to Cerulean."
	Danny: 	"And a Pachirisu to the Northwest!"
	Cepheus White: 	"And no, Grace. He clearly said that I smell bad, not you."
	Grace Appara: 	"But you smell like me because..."
	Danny: 	"You smell wonderful, Grace. Your scent is the one redeeming quality on Cepheus."
	Grace Appara: 	"Well, nevermind that. He implied things about me."
	Danny: 	"The rest is poo~"
	Cepheus White: 	"..."
	Venec: 	"Everything kind of does at first. Once you get a better sense of smell you get overwhelmed by everything."
	Danny: 	"Respectfully, of course."
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, please mind your manners."
	Lucy: 	"..."
	Lucy: 	"You're amusing Danny.''
	Danny: 	"I minding them! I said 'respectfully'!"
	Danny: 	"D'aw, thank you Lucy! Your redeeming quality is your sincerity. That and your cheekbones."
	Danny: 	"To the north, group!"
	Danny: 	Danny skipped northward!
* Lucy swished her tail some.
	Cepheus White: 	"Also, Grace, I've been doing a lot of odd jobs over this weekend, so your scent has probably worn off on me."
	Cepheus White: 	"For now, at least."
	Danny: 	Curly was returned to his Poke Ball.
* Grace Appara hugged Cepheus and rubbed her face against his neck.
	Danny: 	"You there! You crazy things!"
	Venec: 	Venec laughed and picked up Ruta, "Come on you two, you have plenty of time."
	Danny: 	He pointed at the blue squirrels.
* Pachirisu 6 looked to Danny with a tilted head.
	Venec: 	Venec scanned them
	Danny: 	"Pikachu-wannabes! Have you seen a Scizor around the place?"
	Pachirisu 6: 	"Pachahapapahapahapchapa?"
	Venec: 	"in't this the wrong way?"
* Pachirisu 3 approaches Danny, walking upright.
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Renthisj common ekess ve munthrek."
	Danny: 	"They're speaking weird!"
* Pachirisu 3 crossed its arms.
	Danny: 	"Youthiz see metalarmyman?"
	Pachirisu: 	* The rest of the Pachirisu were jittery and fidgety.
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Wux re supposed ekess qe othokent. Ukris harkt ekess ve."
	Danny: 	"I think they're German."
	Cepheus White: 	"Coming!" Cepheus called out, Grace still clinging to his neck.
	Danny: 	"Hallo! Ich bin Danny Green."
	Danny: 	"Ich komme aus Zinn. Ich bin für einen Scizzor suchen. Es ist ein Metall-Pokemon, irgendwo nördlich von hier."
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Wux ukris bvecko. Si mi Melusine."
	Danny: 	"Du riechst wie ein schmutziges Kartoffel."
	Ruta: 	Confusion you say? Sounds like time for Ruta's super mind reading skills (she may or many not realize is common in the party) to save the day! She places her hands on her head and focuses at the first Pachirisu to read its mind.
You whisper to Venec_Myles: What foolish language are these Humans speaking? Bah. Just what is it they want?
	Danny: 	Danny uses Calming Mind on the Pachirisu.
	Danny: 	At-Will – Drains 7 of user’s HP per use. Target: Pokemon or Trainers. Effect: You calm the target, curing it of Confusion. Calming Vibe can calm rages, focus a distorted mind, or neutralize a paranoid panic. In order to use Calming Vibe, the Trainer must be in a calm state of mind. Using this on a target leaves discoverable psychic residue.
	Danny: 	Danny loses 7 hit points.
	Venec: 	Venec walked up and plopped himself down on the ground, sitting crosslegged in front of the pokemon.
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Si shilta ti letoclo wux sjek wux shilta ti renthisj harkt."
* Pachirisu 3 looks at Danny oddly but doesn't appear to be any worse for wear.
	Venec: 	"You have a very strong accent, it's hard to understand you. I'm very sorry." Venec said sheepishly.
	Danny: 	"Nope. Nothing wrong with its mentality," Danny said.
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Svabol tira wux tir?"
* Cepheus White uses Zoopathy to at least try to understand what the Pachirisu are saying, while Danny and Venec apparently lead the conversation.
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus White loses 0 hit points.
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus White loses 5 hit points.
	Ruta: 	"(Maybe it's easier if we just talk in pokemon?)" Ruta tried.
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Si tiliw shar si ornla xurwk vi hofiba di sio."
You whisper to DNA: I could but I would make a fool of myself.
Avara: 	sparing a moment, can i use Inisght or perception to figure out what their deal is?
	Pachirisu 3: 	( Sure. )
Avara: 	which one?
	Pachirisu 3: 	( Insight. )
Avara: 	... intuition, sorry. >
Avara: 	>.o
	Pachirisu 3: 	( Which is Intuition., yes. )
Avara: 	29
	Danny: 	(Totally using that, too.)
* Danny rolls: 6d6+5 => 22 + 5 = 27
	Pachirisu 3: 	( What educations does Cepheus have? )
	Pachirisu 3: 	( And does he have any features for spoken languages now that I think about it? )
DNA: 	He has Zoopathy to understand Pokemon languages, and has a 4 in General and Pokemon Education
	Danny: 	Rolling Education - Pokemon:
* Danny rolls: 4d6+8 => 21 + 8 = 29
You whisper to Avara, Danny: It seems to be literally trying to speak to you.
You whisper to Danny: It seems to be speaking in some ancient language.
	Danny: 	"It's speaking in ancient gobblygook," Danny said, sagely.
	Venec: 	"Somehow I doubt that, it might be best just to head the other way. We can breed Scyther eggs if you're really interested."
	Danny: 	"I have a hunch these are Pokemon from the past. We should get that time-travelling 'mon to talk to them."
	Danny: 	*use Trying on Shoes on the Pachirisu
	Danny: 	Prerequisites: Psychic, Empath, Digging At-Will Target: Pokemon or Trainers. Effect: You may read thoughts from the past day in a mind with Telepathy. Using this on a target leaves discoverable psychic residue.
	Pachirisu 3: 	( Ho boy. )
	Danny: 	Danny's eyes glow.
	Danny: 	He's obviously using psychic powers.
	Venec: 	Venec stands and takes back a step. If Danny's starting another fight he'd want to be in a better spot.
You whisper to Danny: This particular Pachirisu seems to be of exceptional intelligence. It's not spliced but in fact, incredibly old. In the past day, it's simply lead the group around and kept them all alive and safe. It's name is Melusine.
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Batobot coi hak? Algbo, coi jahus vi d'nag tafiaf munthrek. Veitrelg."
You whisper to DNA: That it then? Well, it was a nice meet Human. Farewell.
	Crystal: 	"Is there something keeping you from speaking in normal pokemon language? Pat the ground once for yes, twice for no."
* Pachirisu 3 raises its arm to signal the rest of the group to leave.
	Venec: 	Venec paused and started counting on his fingers. "... I still have one pokehome transfer left today. I could get Neukorma ou- oh, that works."
* Pachirisu 3 gives a curt nod to you all and turns about.
Avara: 	... right. going back to working on kate's moves
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, what did it tell you? I only caught the tail end of it."
	Ruta: 	"She was thinking about how she had no idea what language you were using. But... that's all I mindread."
	Danny: 	"Hmmm..."
	Danny: 	"This particular Pachirisu seems to be of exceptional intelligence. It's not spliced but in fact, incredibly old. In the past day, it's simply lead the group around and kept them all alive and safe. It's name is Melusine.
	Danny: 	Danny chased after it. "Wait! We can help you!"
	Venec: 	"If you really want to head after them, you can put your tracking nose to work."
* Danny rolls: 1d20 => 13
	Cepheus White: 	"how old is 'incredibly old'?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Pretty sure that's a 1/day thing.
	Danny: 	Go-go findy stuff!~
	Cepheus White: 	1/hour.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Whelp!
	Danny: 	No-no findy stuff~?
	Venec: 	(1/hour) Venec tries! 19 vs 15
Avara: 	?
	Venec: 	"I think I might have their scent..."
	Danny: 	"Lead the way, Venec!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	It's actually vs. 20.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And the challenges are 11 with a scent to use, 16 for a random scent from nothing and 20 for a specific scent.
Avara: 	can i apply lmhywt?
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'm gonna say no because that doesn't even make sense.
	Danny: 	If I have to, I will use my Lucky Coin.
Avara: 	'kay
Kaorin Sakura: 	And I'll say that it succeeds 'cause they were JUST here.
	Danny: 	No need for Lucky Coin, yay~
Kaorin Sakura: 	Just pointing out the numbers for Rob's sake.
	Venec: 	(Yeah, that is news)
You whisper to Venec_Myles: You find the scent a bit tough to knab with the river just under your feet but you grasp that they're southwestish.
	Venec: 	"This way" Venec jogs on ahead, slow enough for the others to follow.
	Larry: 	Larry sits and relaxes. "I am staying here with Cassia."
	Venec: 	"See 'em." Venec pointed. Then quick scanned the Finneon in case they didn't get them yet.
	Danny: 	"Scanned that."
	Danny: 	Danny points at the Squrrels. "Yous! Yes! I demand you join me on my journey!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	The Pachirisu all look at Danny.
* Pachirisu 3 raises its eyebrow questioningly.
	Danny: 	"I need a powerful, old, wise squrrel to help me with my journey!"
	Danny: 	"Your the one I need for the job!"
	Venec: 	"This is the help you were planning to give them?" Venec asked.
	Danny: 	"I saw your memories! I know you Melusine!"
	Danny: 	"I help them by helping myself," Danny said as an aside.
	Danny: 	"Join me!"
	Pachirisu 3: 	"(For Arceus' sake lad, what in the Spiritombs do you want with us?!)"
	Venec: 	Venec rolled his eyes. "should have known."
	Danny: 	"Your sooouuuuullllzzzzz~"
	Danny: 	"No, not really," Danny laughed, evilly.
	Danny: 	"I just want you to join me on our journey. We need a strong squrrel."
	Pachirisu 3: 	"(And if I were to do such a thing, what of my band?)"
	Danny: 	"I have enough Poke Balls for all of you. Your whole family."
	Danny: 	"Oak is like a major charity. He will feed you, house you, keep you safe."
	Danny: 	"He's totally cool."
	Venec: 	"That's a lot of balls!"
	Danny: 	"Yes, well, I got a lot of balls!"
	Pachirisu 3: 	"(And if I refuse your cheritble offer?)"
	Danny: 	"I will be very sad!"
	Danny: 	Danny pouted.
	Danny: 	"What about the rest of you? Think of all the berries I am offering if you join me!"
	Danny: 	"Free food! Free accomodation! Safety from other wilds!"
	Pachirisu 3: 	"(No offense lad, but I've got an idea or two on how to survive the wilds and flourish. If you can convince any of my band, so be it. If they want to join, they can. But I like my life in the wilderness.)"
	Danny: 	"Then, you can join me in my journey."
	Danny: 	"I am heading to Mt. Moon. I fight perils every day. But these perils are only fit for my most worthy Pokemon. The others lounge at home and eat free food all day."
	Venec: 	"Is it just me or is this really funny to only hear one side of this conversation."
Kaorin Sakura: 	That sounds like a Charm to me. Roll it!
* Danny rolls: 4d6+5 => 12 + 5 = 17
	Danny: 	Charming!
	Danny: 	Danny laid out some balls.
* Pachirisu 3 rubbed its chin for a good moment and thoght on the subject.
	Pachirisu 3: 	"Alright, here's the deal, lad."
	Pachirisu 3: 	"You and your friends take my entire band and I go with you."
	Danny: 	"Deal!"
	Pachirisu 3: 	"But, if I find that I'm not out on an adventure, you will pay me in kind. Agreed?"
	Danny: 	"I will even let you have my Luxury Ball."
	Danny: 	Danny caught every single one of them. "Unless anybody else doesn't want to come, then it's settled."
Kaorin Sakura: 	You have obtained: 6 Pachirisu. 1 is Special.
Kaorin Sakura: 	As per agreed: Venec, Crystal and Cepheus will obtain at least 1.
	Venec: 	As that was being settled Venec decided it was no longer threatening to jump over the river and pick up the item laying on the ground.
	Danny: 	Danny fiddles with his PokeDex and makes sure Melusine is with him on this journey. He trades out Boo.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Added to your box.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Details in their properties.
	Venec: 	Venec then walked over to scan the goldeen, then the bouffalant... then backed away...
* Dive Ball obtained.
	Venec: 	Venec jogged back, "Some goldeen adn Bouffalant over there."
	Pokedex: 	"Goldeen, the Goldfish Pokémon. Water type. It swims at a steady 5 knots. If it senses danger, it will strike back with its sharp horn."
	Pokedex: 	"Bouffalant, the Bash Buffalo Pokémon. Normal type. They are known to charge so wildly that if a train were to enter their territory, they would send it flying."
	Danny: 	"Hi guys, look! This is Melusine. She's totally joining us for our journey."
	Ruta: 	Ruta waved and then bowed, "My name is Ruta."
Kaorin Sakura: 	And now you get to RP Melusine.
	Cepheus White: 	"Nice to meet you."
	Melusine: 	Melusine remained quiet, though waved politely.
	Melusine: 	"Ava'yorn."
	Venec: 	"Well, we've backtracked for about as much time as we've walked forward, we should hit the road again before we end up having to camp outside of the cave for tomorrow."
	Danny: 	"Well, I promised her we'd adventure, so let's do stuff guys!"
	Cepheus White: 	"I concur, Venec."
	Venec: 	"We have the scyther path and the skarmory path, which one folks.
	Larry: 	Larry waved at everyone.
	Cassia: 	Cassia waved, as well.
	Larry: 	"Everything sorted, Danny?"
	Danny: 	"Yep. This is Melusine." He present the blue squirrel to Larry.
	Larry: 	"Hello." Larry smiled, "Welcome aboard."
	Melusine: 	"Ava'yorn."
	Kate: 	"It looks really fuzzy."
	Venec: 	"Hey Aneue, can you see anything up that hill there?" Venec pointed to the northwest, up the incline. "My eyes aren't good at detail or distances."
	Lucy: 	"Don't think mine is any better than yours."
	Venec: 	Venec tried to look 3
	Venec: 	"Ah well, I'll come back some day. I live around here. Press on!" Venec thrust a fist into the air and marched forward, as no one else had supplied a dirrection yet.
Avara is disconnected.
Avara is disconnected.
	Grace Appara: 	"Ceph-chan, how're we gonna scale that thing?"
	Venec: 	(How tall is each tier?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Hmm, let's have fun with it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	10 meters.
	Cepheus White: 	"We could float up, if it isn't too tall between each level."
Avara has connected.
	Danny: 	Danny points at the stairs.
	Danny: 	"Or we could just use the stairs like normal people."
	Miranda: 	"Haha, convenient!"
	Danny: 	"I am already up here, guys!" Danny stuck his tongue out at Venec.
	Danny: 	"Can't keep up, slowpoke!?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, you are far from normal."
	Venec: 	"Ha, easy!" Venec set Ruta down, charged the wall and dug his heels in, sprinting straight up it as if were ground! (wall runner) He reaches the top and instantly tumbles down the other side
	Larry: 	Larry frowned.
	Cepheus White: 	"Grace, shall we scale the wall?"
	Venec: 	"... ow..."
	Danny: 	"Sorry Larry. Slowperson."
	Venec: 	"There's a hole on the other side guys!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Ready, Ceph-chan?"
	Venec: 	"It's really mean!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Ready."
* Cepheus White gripped her hand in preparation.
	Danny: 	"Wow!"
* Grace Appara focused for a moment and lifted them up the wall.
* Ruta places her hand on Lucy's bare leg and looks up.
	Danny: 	Danny pointed at the item. "What's that, Venec?"
* Lucy easily flew up the cliff side.
	Venec: 	Venec walked over and picked it up.
	Cepheus White: 	"Thanks."
	Ruta: 	Ruta pouted.
* Elixer obtained.
	Venec: 	Venec tossed the Elixer to Danny, "Your department chief!"
	Larry: 	Larry used his psychic powers to help Ruta up.
	Larry: 	He smiled, cheerfully.
	Larry: 	Placing her next to Lucy.
	Larry: 	He gave Ruta a kind wink.
	Larry: 	Then went back to Danny.
	Ruta: 	Ruta smiled and bowed to Larry
* Miranda pokes Crystal.
	Miranda: 	"Gonna capture our beautiful daughter?"
	Venec: 	"Now that you said it out loud you have to before Danny gets to it first." Venec laughed and used his same wall-sprint to get out of the hole again.
	Danny: 	"What this?"
	Miranda: 	"Danny wouldn't do that."
	Miranda: 	"He far too intelligent.
	Crystal: 	"... That would probably be a good idea, actually." She looks at Kate, then Miranda again. "It would probably be safer to keep her in the ball for a while, wouldn't it?"
	Danny: 	"I am?"
	Kate: 	"In... I'm going in a ball? How?"
	Miranda: 	"Yes and yes."
	Danny: 	"It would probably be nicer to let her stay out of the ball. That's kind of mean."
	Venec: 	"Looks heal-y enough for your skills to get the most out of it."
	Danny: 	" 'hey, hello, you're born, now get in the ball.' "
	Ruta: 	Ruta grabs Lucy's hand, "Come on, come on, lets go to Papa."
	Crystal: 	"You mean like how trainers do to pokemon all the time?"
	Danny: 	Danny points at Melusine. "All the time is a gross generalisation, Crystal."
* Kate floats out of Crystal's arms, and stands on the ground, a bit wobbly.
	Danny: 	Danny and Larry move forward, passing the maze of rocks and stuff.
	Danny: 	"Ha! You guys are so slow!"
	Miranda: 	"It's a good idea."
	Venec: 	"Capture logistics tend t' slow people down."
	Miranda: 	"Protects her and she's still young. Let her out more when she's a bit...more durable. Yes, that word."
* Miranda kisses Kate on the forehead.
	Miranda: 	"Just worrying about your safety, little Kate."
	Venec: 	"I can't speak for myself, but I've been told you hear and see everything. So all you can't really do is join the conversation. .. You'd think someone would get on that wouldn't you, radio for pokeball-outside communication."
	Venec: 	Venec mused as he kept walking.
* Kate looks at Miranda and Crystal. "I'll go in the ball, but I wanna come out now and then, okay?"
	Lucy: 	"...That'd quickly become noisy for the Trainer, wouldn't it?"
	Danny: 	"As if noise would be a problem, Lucy!"
	Venec: 	"Probably. At least let pokeballs talk to each other. A pokenav intercom thing, so everyone has company if they want it.
	Danny: 	HAHAHAHAHA! Danny laughed.
	Danny: 	Loudly.
	Danny: 	He then turned and scaled the staircases some more.
* Kate doesn't wait for an answer. She grabs a ball hanging out of Crystal's backpack and goes inside it. Crystal quickly flips open her pokedex and picks someone to go to the PC.
Avara: 	terella to pc. kate to team. ok?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yep.
	Danny: 	Danny, suddenly seeing a Skarmory. Gasped. Audibly. "Skarmory!"
	Crystal: 	"Alright..." She starts following the others now.
	Venec: 	"Hey everyone! Down here!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Hm?"
	Venec: 	"It's safer this way."
	Cepheus White: 	"All right."
	Venec: 	"We have to scale this ledge, but we might get by without them noticing."
	Danny: 	Danny followed Venec's advice.
	Ruta: 	Ruta saw one of the items that Papa was collecting and ran to get one herself!
* Heat Rock obtained.
	Ruta: 	"Papa! Papa!" Ruta held out the rock.
	Ruta: 	Ruta looked up with eyes seeking praise.
	Venec: 	Venec laughed and tossled her hair again, which got the same squeal, giggle as before.
	Venec: 	"Ane, you head down first and catch anyone who falls climbing. Not that I expect it, but safety is safety."
	Venec: 	Venec climbed down with Ruta 30 Athletics.
DNA: 	(I'm not required to make any checks for descent, am I?)
	Grace Appara: 	( Grace will float you down so go ahead. )
DNA: 	wheeeeeee~
Avara: 	same for crystal and miranda?
	Miranda: 	"C'Mon sexy Crysa."
	Venec: 	Venec scans one of the skarmory when he gets the chance.
	Miranda: 	( Yupyup )
* Crystal wraps her arms around Miranda.
	Danny: 	"Anything you can do, I can do better!"
	Danny: 	Danny placed Melusine down and jumped dowards after Venec.
	Pokedex: 	"Skarmory, the Armor Bird Pokémon. Steel & Flying type. The feathers that it sheds are very sharp. It is said that people once used the feathers as swords."
* Danny rolls: 1d6-3 => 5 - 3 = 2
Kaorin Sakura: 	...
	Danny: 	Athletics Rolls ^
Kaorin Sakura: 	And, I now look for damage you take.
	Venec: 	"Hmm... Sounds like good material, doesn't it Aneue."
Kaorin Sakura: 	How much does Danny weigh?
	Lucy: 	Lucy was actively trying to catch folks, does she get a roll to help?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Hmm, considering he did so away from her, gimme a power check. 3d6+power
	Lucy: 	14
Kaorin Sakura: 	She can manage to catch him at the last second, reducing falling damage.
Kaorin Sakura: 	27 DMG.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Lucy manages to grab hold of Danny last second, reducing his falling damage by half.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Therefore, he takes 27 DMG for 5 meters of fall instead of the potential 10 meters of fall.
	Danny: 	Danny loses 27 hit points.
	Danny: 	"Oof! Ouch, my head."
	Danny: 	Danny rubs his head and looks up at his saviour. "Thanks Lucy!"
	Lucy: 	"...You're welcome...I guess."
	Danny: 	Danny moved out of Lucy's arms.
	Danny: 	He moved back to Larry and Melusine and Cassia.
	Melusine: 	Melusine jumped back in Danny's arms.
	Venec: 	"There was a shiny skarmory in that group, and it sounds like they shed good raw material. Think we should ask if we can get one to come with is?"
	Melusine: 	It locked eyes with Danny.
	Lucy: 	"Would they be willing?"
	Danny: 	Danny locked eyes with Melusine.
	Melusine: 	Melusine slapped Danny in the face.
	Melusine: 	"Baka."
	Crystal: 	"I could give it a try."
	Venec: 	"I'm not sure. They look dangerous but they're not a forest species, I don't know their behavior well."
	Venec: 	"Some of the cutest pokemon are among the meanest and some of the scariest looking are the nicest."
	Cepheus White: 	"Skarmory are generally the type to get into a lot of scuffles, though, so I'd be careful."
	Cepheus White: 	"They don't mind getting roughed up."
	Crystal: 	"Shall I go talk with them, then?"
	Melusine: 	"Yth shilta gjahall astahi. Tepoha eluithol, thurirli."
	Venec: 	"Hm... if we can stay safe."
	Crystal: 	"I think I'll be fine. You could back up, if you're worried about getting attacked."
	Venec: 	"Getting attacked no. Getting killed yes."
	Venec: 	Venec set Ruta on the steps and followed.
* Crystal slowly walks up the way, motioning for Miranda to take the high ground in case the skarmory attack.
	Venec: 	Venec used Shield Stance.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The Skarmory take notice and begin landing around the three.
* Cepheus White readied himself just in case, and pinched himself.
* DNA rolls: 1d6 Acupressure => 5
	Cepheus White: 	+2 Spe
	Crystal: 	"(Hello.)" She courtseys. "(My name is Jenny Crystal. We were passing through to the healing house nearby when we saw you. Would one of you be willing to join us?)"
Avara: 	roll charm to influence?
Kaorin Sakura: 	12 | 10 | 15 | 9 | 15 (12 or less for unfortunateness)
* Skarmory ponders the idea. I mean, she can talk our langauge!
Avara: 	3 unfortunatenesses out of 5.
* Skarmory 2 scrapes its chin thoughtfully.
* Skarmory 4 stands upright, mulling over the request.
* Skarmory 5 screams loudly in response!
* Skarmory 3 doesn't care either!
	Skarmory 3: 	( And one moment)
	Skarmory 5: 	11 vs. Speed.
	Skarmory 3: 	3 vs. Speed.
	Ruta: 	(can we tell if this is a damaging move?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Those caught in the radius suffer -2 Sp.Def combat stages from the sounds of the Skarmory grinding their wings against one another!
	Ruta: 	"Kya!" Ruta cries!
* Crystal winces, flinching from the noise.
Avara: 	still waiting on confirmation for if you want me to roll charm
Kaorin Sakura: 	And now you may roll a Charm. Let me know if you're going against a particular target or for the whole group?
Avara: 	does any one of them look like the leader?
Avara: 	was hoping the shiny would move into view--the boulder is forcing LoS to hide it.
DNA: 	(I completely missed the radius, sorry.)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Didn't hit Cepheus or Grace.
DNA: 	Ah, yeah. I see its silhouette
Kaorin Sakura: 	That'd be an Insight roll.
Avara: 	38 insight
You whisper to Avara: The shiny one of course.
Avara: 	can i target the shiny?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yeah.
Avara: 	36 charm-shine on.
	Skarmory 5: 	19
	Skarmory 5: 	( Gimme some dialogue. )
	Crystal: 	"(Could you try and talk with your companions? We've heard that most Skarmory like to fight... well, we were hoping to move through the area quickly, but we get into a lot of fights otherwise. There are people hunting us, and we challenge powerful opponents all the time.)"
* Skarmory 5 scoffs at the words.
	Skarmory 5: 	"(You only want passage? Not here to claim our rocks?)"
	Skarmory 3: 	13
	Crystal: 	"(Not here for your rocks. Passage, and perhaps your company, if you're willing to join our group.)"
* Skarmory 3 pauses as it sees its leader stop its assaults.
	Skarmory 5: 	"(Hmph. Why should any of us? Here, we have daily brawls, good special rocks and easy hunting.)"
	Crystal: 	"(Daily brawls, but you only have a small number of pokemon you can fight, right? Have you ever fought with an Articuno?)"
	Skarmory 5: 	"(A whodawutta?)"
* Crystal pulls out her pokedex and pulls up the picture.
* Skarmory 5 flies directly next to Crystal to see what she's holding.
* Cepheus White instantly thought of Yuki the moment Crystal said 'Articuno'.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The other Skarmory naturally fly in closer as well.
	Crystal: 	"(We're travelling far beyond just these mountains. We're trying to find out about every pokemon--where they live, what they do, how aggressive they are. We fight often, and we take care of each other.)"
	Venec: 	Venec was a little nervious. He didn't understand anything they were saying.
	Skarmory 5: 	"(Mmm, an impressive looking bird.)"
	Skarmory 5: 	"(This is interesting, if you're truthful. But what about our special rocks?)"
	Crystal: 	"(May I see the special rocks, to figure that out?)"
* Crystal turns to the others, and quickly explains what's going on so far.
	Venec: 	"Hm. I have a firestone I'm not about to use, if that might bribe them." Venec pulls out the stone. "I don't know what kind of rocks are important to them though, there are a lot."
	Skarmory 5: 	"(No! Will not show----ohhhhhh!)"
* Skarmory 5 gazes upon the Firestone.
	Crystal: 	"(If it's anything like what he has, we can find and barter for these stones with humans in their territory.)"
	Skarmory 5: 	"(We only have two of those special rocks. The Meowth haven't come out of the big cave in a few days.)"
	Venec: 	"Are you fri- allies with the meowth? We're headed that way, we could see if they'e in any trouble along the way."
	Venec: 	(... I totally didn't understand him, so I couldn't have said that)
Avara: 	just assume crystal's translating
Avara: 	for both sides
	Skarmory 5: 	"(...Hmm. And how will we know you'll be truthful? You aren't the first smooth-flesh-walkers to promise folk of this area fortune.)"
	Venec: 	"What I'm really interested in is your feathers, some of the strongest metal there is I'm told. Incredibly deadly weapons. If you have any feathers in good condition just lying around that you don't care for I'd be willing to trade this stone for them."
	Crystal: 	"(You can take me for my word, or you can stay in this small valley, fighting enemies you already know you can beat and waiting for cats to bring you new rocks.)"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Gimme a 3d6+Spirit truth roll!
Avara: 	22
Danny whispers: Do you think you can sneak past them stealthily and steal their precious rocks, Melusine?
You whisper to Danny: Yes.
	Skarmory 5: 	14
	Skarmory 5: 	"(Hmm. Very well. We will accompany you but you will need to convince my ilk to follow you of their own accord. I, however, have no problems with sparring any shed feathers for special rocks. Especially if you promise more special rocks. They're very tasty.)"
Danny whispers: Okay. Go for it, girl. I did say we get up to adventure.
* Skarmory 5 joins up with Crystal.
* Danny rolls: 3d6+7 => 8 + 7 = 15
* Crystal turns to look at the other metal birds. "(Your leader seems to have agreed with my terms. Without him, your stable lives here could become a lot messier. I'm extending the same offer to all of you, though--travel the entire region, meeting and fighting all kinds of opponents and getting chances to try new special stones, by joining our teams.)"
You whisper to Danny: She locates no evolution stones.
Avara: 	37 vs group
DNA: 	the leader's female
	Danny: 	Danny swears under his breath for some reason.
Kaorin Sakura: 	That just BARELY succeeded.
Avara: 	okay, then... correct for gender. didn't check.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The other Skarmory will agree to follow for promise of special rocks.
* Crystal pulls out two greatballs and three pokeballs.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are any being distributed out to anyone in particular?
Avara: 	WHO WANTS A SKARMORY
	Danny: 	Danny reappeared.
	Venec: 	"I'll have two of them."
	Danny: 	"Skarmory?"
	Cepheus White: 	"I'm impartial."
	Grace Appara: 	"You don't want to ride one?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...I already have an Articuno."
	Grace Appara: 	"But its a bird made of swords!"
* Crystal sets a greatball in front of the shiny skarmory, and in front of one of the others, giving the other three regular pokeballs. "(Would you like to come with me, specifically,)" she asks the shiny one.
	Venec: 	"Yeah Cepheus!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	The shiny one taps the ball without word.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And is captured with ease.
	Venec: 	Venec takes two pokeballs and holds them to the male and female on either side of him.
	Cepheus White: 	"Swords have never really resonated with me."
	Crystal: 	"Pick and invite the two you want to come with you, Venec. Cepheus, Danny, you two should invite one each."
	Danny: 	Danny, noticing that they're all being caught, takes his chance to openly look for their shiny, precious stones.
	Venec: 	(3, 4)
	Cepheus White: 	"I'm not going to turn down an offer, but I'll let the Skarmory choose. I am impartial."
	Crystal: 	"Danny, get over here now."
	Ruta: 	Ruta hid behind Lucy, she was really, really scared.
	Danny: 	Danny's already went walkabouts.
* Skarmory bows to Cepheus.
* Cornn Berry obtained.
* Crystal looks to the remaining skarmory. "(The one with green hair is yours. He's a bit difficult, and doesn't always listen to the rest of us, so he may be causing trouble. Could you take your ball and find him?)"
Kaorin Sakura: 	I have no idea what that berry does.
	Danny: 	"Haha! I have found a precious stone!"
DNA: 	That berry has no effect in battle.
* Skarmory waits to be offered a Pokéball from Cepheus.
	Danny: 	Danny holds up the berry.
	Danny: 	He pockets it.
* Cepheus White extends his hand out with a Poke Ball in it.
	Skarmory 2: 	"(Capture me Green one!)"
	Cepheus White: 	"Very well. If you've chosen me, then I won't turn you down."
Avara: 	crystal distributed the balls to every skarmory, so it's just a matter of cepheus claiming it i think.
* Skarmory taps the ball and is captured.
	Danny: 	Danny does so, then it's caught.
	Ruta: 	"Those are scary..."
* Ruta was clinging to Lucy's leg.
	Danny: 	He trades the Skarmory for Dandy, then releases the Skarmory again.
	Crystal: 	"That worked out rather well." She turns to look at Ruta, "They can be, but now they're scary to the people who want to hurt your friends."
	Danny: 	"I shall name you Oscar!"
	Danny: 	"Now Oscar, show me where those shiny stones are located."
	Danny: 	Danny jumped on Oscar's back and went for a ride.
	Venec: 	"Don't worry Ruta, in no time you'll be able to hold your own against anything, no matter how big and scary they are. Alright?"
	Venec: 	Venec kneeled down and picked her up.
	Ruta: 	Ruta nodded, though uncertain. "R-right."
	Crystal: 	"Venec's really good at teaching how to hurt mean people, Ruta."
	Cassia: 	Cassia and Larry were returned to their respective balls.
	Ruta: 	Ruta nodded, "I already learned so much. And got massages too."
	Ruta: 	"Those were my favorite parts." Ruta smiled.
* Crystal smiles back to Ruta, and ruffles her hair. "Alright, I guess we have to wait for Danny, then we can go to the center."
	Venec: 	You guys go around, I'm going to check for feathers. I'll met you on the road."
	Venec: 	Venec, Lucy and Ruta search for good raw materials!
	Crystal: 	"... That just leaves us four. We could try gliding above the river."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Give me one d20 check.
	Venec: 	6
	Cepheus White: 	"Gliding above the river, hm..."
	Danny: 	Danny is on Oscar's back still looking for shiny stones.
* Cepheus White was tempted by the thought. It sounded like fun.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec finds a Guard Spec.
	Crystal: 	"The river leads to where Miranda said the pokemon center is, after all. It'd be easier than going up and down mountains, at least as far as seeing dangerous things coming."
	Cepheus White: 	"That's true, but it also might make us an easier target."
	Crystal: 	"So it's a give and take."
	Venec: 	"Seems like this is it. Ah well, lets continue."
	Crystal: 	"Grace, Miranda, what do you two think?"
	Grace Appara: 	"I like the idea of not touching a river."
	Venec: 	Venec scanned a lickitung he saw across the river.
	Miranda: 	"There should be a bridge or something just before the Center."
	Venec: 	"Hey Danny, did you see any Feraligatr?"
	Crystal: 	"I didn't mean walking on it or anything like that, just using it as a path to follow." She shrugs, and starts walking again.
	Crystal: 	"... More pokemon ahead."
	Venec: 	"...."
DNA: 	(has anyone snagged those items on the ledge below?)
	Pokedex: 	"Lickitung, the Licking Pokémon. Normal type. Its long tongue, slathered with a gooey saliva, sticks to anything, so it is very useful."
	Venec: 	"Those look awesome!"
	Danny: 	"Weeeeeee~" Danny was still riding Oscar.
Avara: 	i think that's exactly what danny and venec were up to
	Venec: 	Venec pointed to the Roselia!
	Venec: 	Venec scanned them too!
	Pokedex: 	"Roselia, the Thorn Pokémon. Poison & Grass type. The beautiful flowers on its arms have toxic thorns. Don't even think about picking those flowers."
	Crystal: 	"I'm out of pokeballs, but they could be good to have around."
	Crystal: 	"If we got one, Danny could breed more."
	Cepheus White: 	"They're definitely very useful to have. ...If no one calls dibs on one, I'd like to have one."
	Venec: 	"I'd like to half one. We'd have to sit down for another round of diplomacy."
	Danny: 	"Go for it, Cepheus."
	Danny: 	Danny was still having fun riding on Oscar the Skarmory. "Weeeee~"
	Crystal: 	"I could try talking to them, but do we have enough pokeballs?"
	Cepheus White: 	"I have plenty."
	Venec: 	"Same. I thought I was low but I had this pocket of greatballs left."
	Crystal: 	"Alright. Hopefully we're getting close to the pokemon center." She walks over to the ledge, but does not go down. She looks at the Roselia from above. "Cepheus, could you have Jupiter near me to help? I'm weak to poison."
	Venec: 	Venec skipped up and used aura on the first one he saw, "(Hey! Feel like coming with me?)"
	Venec: 	"(Adventure and stuff.)"
	Cepheus White: 	"All right. Jupiter, go with Crystal. Follow her lead."
	Venec: 	Venec says to the Loney one.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Ready."
* Crystal looks at the Roselia. Venec already spoke, so she's waiting for their reaction.
* Roselia 7 looks up to Venec.
	Venec: 	"Well I'm not as good at it as you are."
Kaorin Sakura: 	The other Roselia all look up to the group standing above them and shy away.
	Venec: 	"Do these like leaf stones or dawn stones? I seem to have luck with stones today."
	Crystal: 	"(We're not here to hurt you! We were hoping you'd come with us, actually--you look really pretty!)"
	Venec: 	Venec took out one of each.
Avara: 	charm?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Mmm, give me a more compelling argument for their appeal.
	Cepheus White: 	"They evolve with Shiny Stones, if you were wondering."
	Cepheus White: 	@Venec
	Venec: 	"Just how many stones are there that have to do with being bright?"
	Cepheus White: 	"There's Dawn, Shiny, Sun, Moon...and Dusk, though that's more the absence of light."
* Crystal descends with Miranda and Jupiter's help, and kneels so she's level with them. "(We were hoping you could come with us and help us--we're travellers, and we're trying to learn about pokemon. You're all really pretty, and interesting, and we were hoping you'd come with us. We can take care of you, and you won't have to worry about wild pokemon preying on you.)"
* Jupiter Roswell was oddly silent, choosing to say nothing.
Kaorin Sakura: 	11 | 15 | 14 | 12 | 21 | 14 | 14
Avara: 	jupiter, could you please be next to crystal?
Kaorin Sakura: 	All but two Roselia even bother to stay.
	Crystal: 	"(What is it you want out of life?)"
	Ruta: 	Ruta points and looks up to Lucy, "Those ones are less scary."
	Roselia 4: 	1
	Roselia 7: 	8
	Roselia 4: 	"(Raising a child and nurturing them into a healthy adult.)"
	Roselia 7: 	"(Music! And earning lots of gold nuggets!)"
	Crystal: 	"(We have someone with us who specializes in helping pokemon give birth to really strong and healthy children, and we all go into contests--music, acting, showing off for a crowd. The winners always get paid well.)"
	Crystal: 	(once again, translating for both sides)
	Venec: 	Venec rolls two greatballs down into the grass. "Here Crystal. You've lent me more than enough of these things."
	Roselia 4: 	13
	Roselia 4: 	"(But will I get to raise them myself?)"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Hmm..."
	Roselia 7: 	14
	Cepheus White: 	For whatever reason, what the Roselia said (through Crystal) gave him pause.
	Roselia 7: 	"(How often will I get to be the star of the show?!)"
	Crystal: 	"(You can negotiate the exact details with whoever you choose to have as your trainer, but I'm sure that the one you choose will be willing to let you raise your child in safety.)"
	Crystal: 	"(There are different kinds of contests, so whenever one comes up that you're best suited for. I already have most of my line-up picked, but the others really need a good star pokemon.)"
	Roselia 4: 	15
	Roselia 4: 	"(Just give me one child to raise myself. If I can be given that, I'll be happy.)"
	Roselia 7: 	14
* Roselia 7 points to Crystal.
	Roselia 7: 	"(Then I'm goin' with you! Make me into a star, lady!)"
	Danny: 	Danny stepped down on the ground with Oscar.
	Venec: 	"I do need to start raising pokemon specifically for contests.
	Danny: 	"Oi! Come with me and I will breed you the most beautiful baby!"
* Crystal turns to look up the cliff. "Whoever wants to take the other, you should have Danny breed her a child, and let the two live in peace. I think the oth--Danny, she's probably scared of Skarmory!"
* Roselia 4 was a bit startled by the landing of the large Skarmory.
	Danny: 	"It's okay. Oscar is a gentle giant."
	Danny: 	"He will also protect you and your children!"
	Danny: 	"Won't you Oscar?"
	Roselia 4: 	18
	Oscar: 	Oscar nodded.
* Crystal hands one of the greatballs Venec passed her to Roselia 7. "(I'll try and see what I can specialize you in.)"
	Roselia 4: 	"( P-Promise? )"
	Danny: 	"I promise. My bond is as good as my word!"
	Danny: 	Guile:
* Danny rolls: 6d6+8 => 20 + 8 = 28
	Roselia 4: 	15
	Crystal: 	"I'll be holding you to your word, Danny."
* Roselia 4 approaches Danny and performs a graceful curtsey.
	Roselia 4: 	"(I'm yours then. Please, give me a child to raise of my own.)"
	Venec: 	"...isn't that phrase the other way around? My word is as good as my bond?" Venec scratched his head.
	Crystal: 	"... Yes. This is why I was hoping you'd take her," she whispers to Venec.
	Danny: 	Takes the Roselia.
	Danny: 	And breeds her with...
	Danny: 	...whoever is a good match.
	Venec: 	Venec scooped up Ruta. "Well! Center here we come! Me first!" Venec charged forward.
	Regirock: 	* Gazes down upon Venec and Lucy.
	Venec: 	Venec was about to tag the door to the pokemon center when he froze, took out his dex, scanned and yelled back to everyone "OI! REGI!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Never thought I'd hear Venec say that. Well, time to follow him!"
	Pokedex: 	"Regirock, the Rock Peak Pokémon. Rock type. It is entirely composed of rocks with no sign of a brain or heart. It is a mystery even to modern scientists."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Hey boss, we've got company."
	Crystal: 	"Where?!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Crystal, stay back. There's something up ahead. Looks like a Regirock."
	Venec: 	"My dad would love this guy! Maybe, depends if it's a girl or not." Venec turned to Lucy, "I always thought he tried to catch female pokemon but you know, I can't seem to catch males even when I try."
	Crystal: 	"Is it hostile?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I'm not sure, but I don't think we can take chances. Grace, would you mind letting me handle this one?"
	Danny: 	Danny took the Oval Stone.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"You being vulnerable to rocks and such."
* Oval Stone acquired.
	Crystal: 	"I'm grass and water. Grace is vulnerable to rocks."
	Grace Appara: 	"...Go ahead."
Avara: 	sorry, ignore that
Avara: 	missed a line
	Miranda: 	"Other way around, sweetheart."
	Cepheus White: 	"I'll let you out after the battle again, promise."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Lemme re-gen this guy.
	Venec: 	Venec returns Ruta for now, "This might get dangerous. I'll let you out later."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Good to go.
Avara: 	are we still -sdef from the skarmory?
	Danny: 	Oscar was returned to his ball.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Nope, you guys recovered that.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Sorry for not notifying you.
DNA: 	which means I lost my Acupressure, correct?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes
	Venec: 	Venec stands very still, waiting for it to take the initiative. Or say what it has to say."
	Regirock: 	* Gazes down upon Venec.
	Venec: 	"Shall we or shall we not pass?"
	Regirock: 	* Remains motionless. Gazing.
	Venec: 	"Cepheus, do you have a Regigigas in your lineup?"
Avara: 	intuition intent?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Go for it.
Avara: 	32
	Cepheus White: 	"It's boxed, though I can go retrieve it if you want..."
	Venec: 	"I thought maybe we can authority it on our side, or something."
You whisper to Avara: Watching closely. It seems to be guarding something.
	Cepheus White: 	"All right, I'll make a brief switchout..."
	Crystal: 	"Let me try talking to it."
	Crystal: 	"I think it's trying to protect something."
	Miranda: 	"...Think it'll help?"
	Miranda: 	"I'm going with you."
	Crystal: 	"Of course you are."
	Miranda: 	"If it's anything like those Regigigas we saw that one time....not sure words will help."
	Venec: 	"It looks like it's guarding the cave, if anything. Considering the center shows no signs of damage so it's probably not going to stop us from going inside there."
* Crystal takes a few steps forward, watching the Regi.
	Crystal: 	"(Can you hear me?)"
	Regirock: 	* Remains immobile.
	Cepheus White: 	"It could also be a sentry, for the other Regis inside the mountain."
	Crystal: 	"(Please gesture if you can hear me. Lift one arm, or something like that. I wish to speak with you.)"
	Venec: 	Venec took a step over and touched the door, waiting for a reation.
	Regirock: 	* Remains immobile.
* Crystal sighs.
	Danny: 	"What if it's a trap? It waits for people to enter, caves in the entrance, then whatever is inside can come out and eat those who enter?"
	Venec: 	Venec opens the door and checks for a nurse asking, "Regi outside. Anything we should know about it? Safe? We're a bit edgy out here."
	Crystal: 	"(We are passing through this area. Our present route will lead us through the mountain. Are you trying to protect something within that mountain?)"
* Venec asks without walking inside, just calling into the building.
* Nurse Joy looks up from her desk.
	Nurse Joy: 	"A Regi? They've been spotted a lot around here. Not...sure. I haven't heard of them attacking anyone."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Of course...that could also mean..."
	Venec: 	"He's just standing on the overcropping of the cave's entrance. Staring."
	Danny: 	"He's eating our souls!" Danny yelled out.
* Nurse Joy exits the building and looks up.
* Crystal tenses, ready to move in case the Regirock attacks.
* Nurse Joy pauses for a moment before looking around for a bit.
	Nurse Joy: 	"Come on now. You can't just sit there. People need to move through the mountain. Are you the one ruining all of my business?"
	Venec: 	Venec relaxes, trusting the Joy family more and more for every one he meets.
	Regirock: 	* Remains immobile.
	Crystal: 	"It's not reacting to anything, in human or pokemon language."
* Venec still stays within intercept defense range regardless.
* Nurse Joy removes a satchel from her side and grips it tightly.
	Nurse Joy: 	"If you won't move then I may just have to make you move."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Why not be a good Regirock and just move elsewhere? Avoid the hassle?"
* Crystal readies her spore ring and sheen pokemon ability.
	Nurse Joy: 	36 Intimidate.
	Regirock: 	* Remains immobile.
* Jupiter Roswell remained poised and at the ready.
	Nurse Joy: 	"..."
	Crystal: 	"Cepheus, it might be a good idea to get the Regigigas after all."
	Venec: 	"W-we might just have to catch it." Venec stuttered. A little intimidated by the nurse's intensity.
	Cepheus White: 	"You sure, guys?"
	Crystal: 	"But be careful, and if you bring it out, bring it out away from the center."
	Nurse Joy: 	"..."
* Nurse Joy attempts to enter the cave.
	Regirock: 	"Ghghghghghgh!!!"
	Venec: 	Venec follows her.
	Cepheus White: 	"It's reacting!"
* Regirock leaps down with a Fire Punch!
* Crystal still has her ring ready to fire if it comes down
* Nurse Joy reacts too quickly!
Avara: 	may i fire with the ring before it hits?... nevermind
	Nurse Joy: 	13
	Danny: 	"Quick Attack!"
	Venec: 	Dex to take the hit! 6
	Venec: 	12
	Jupiter Roswell: 	Just stays there doing nothing!
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(for now)
	Nurse Joy: 	( Nurse Joy is using an Interrupt. )
	Nurse Joy: 	29 Physical Normal Damage + automatic Flinch!
* Regirock gets shunted southeast.
	Regirock: 	Regirock loses 0 hit points.
* Regirock is flinched.
	Danny: 	Initiative!
Avara: 	may i spore now?
	Venec: 	(I think combat starts)
	Regirock: 	( Go ahead and spore. You readied the action. It'll consume your action in initiative though. )
Avara: 	miranda speed 30
* Crystal uses her Spore ring to put Regirock to sleep!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Feel free to edit initiative.
DNA: 	Ready.
Avara: 	ready
Miranda has received initiative.
	Danny: 	what's trainer's initiative?

* Regirock loses 1 special defense combat stage.
DNA: 	5m south push
Avara: 	end
Melusine has received initiative.
DNA: 	Its HP bar is empty; is that just me?
	Venec: 	"I think that's it, I can barely see it anymore."
Avara: 	unless it has 1 hp left
Kaorin Sakura: 	It's not 100% empty.
Avara: 	okay. someone throw a ball at it.
Avara: 	it has two statuses
	Melusine: 	Melusine stepped foward and used Thunder Wave on it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	ohmailol
Venec has received initiative.
	Venec: 	Multitask! Premiere ball! 1
Kaorin Sakura: 	Waaaaaaaitwaitwaitwait
* Kaorin Sakura applies speed penalty.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay yeah, that hit.
Kaorin Sakura: 	42
	Premier Ball: 	* The ball flies through the air and hits the Regirock square in the cracked rocks and swallows the large creature in a flash of bright red light!
	Premier Ball: 	Shake.
	Premier Ball: 	Shake..
	Premier Ball: 	Shake...
	Premier Ball: 	Ka-chuckt!
	Premier Ball: 	Success! Regirock was captured!
* Crystal hugs Miranda.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Wow. Nice."
	Venec: 	Venec already had another greatball ready in his multitasking left hand.
	Melusine: 	Melusine grabbed the ball very quickly, then took it to Danny.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"So...that's all taken care of, then?"
	Nurse Joy: 	"Whew. Didn't even have to hit it with my purse."
	Venec: 	"Sorry for the excitement." Venec chuckled, "We're here to stock up on gear for the trek through the caves..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Yeah!"
	Nurse Joy: 	'Be sure to beat up any Regi's you see."
* Jupiter Roswell whooshed through the air and entered the Pokemon Center through the door!
	Nurse Joy: 	"You're all pretty capable."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"First!!"
* Crystal hugs Miranda tighter, and nods to Nurse Joy.
* Miranda hugs Crystal tightly with a big smile.
	Venec: 	"Did you hear what happened to the center in pewter?" Venec asked.
	Nurse Joy: 	"If they're stopping my business then they need some beatings."
	Nurse Joy: 	"I haven't."
	Nurse Joy: 	"don't tell me."
	Venec: 	Venec was about to, then stopped.
	Nurse Joy: 	"If it's something bad, I'll hear from my family. And if they don't tell me, I'd rather be oblivious. I chose to be away from civilization for a reason."
	Crystal: 	"Alright."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Too much drama."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Anyway, smiling faces and happy thoughts everyone."
	Danny: 	Danny, horried at Jupiter calling first, dashed in after him. Melusine was close on his heel.
	Nurse Joy: 	"You all get to rest up in nice, comfortable and warm beds, have very nice and healthy foods as well as a chance to restock on some essentials."
	Venec: 	Venec shifted a little uncomfortably.
	Crystal: 	"We could stay here, or keep going. If we stay here, it gives Danny a chance to handle some pokemon breeding."
	Nurse Joy: 	"Whatever you do, stay a while. C'mon, it's what I built the place for."
	Venec: 	"I've been itching to hit this cave for days now. My vote is to keep going, we've barely spent a lick of energy yet. But if the majority wants to stay I'll follow."
	Crystal: 	"I'd like to rest my feet a while--I don't have shoes. We can decide when to leave after a bit of relaxing, okay?"
	Venec: 	Venec walked inside, at the very least he could use some cushioned seats."
	Venec: 	"Two hours then? Refresh, restock, relax?"
* Nurse Joy stepped inside of the Pokémon Center.
	Venec: 	Venec checked the time now.
Kaorin Sakura: 	3:11 P.M.
	Danny: 	Danny frowned at Venec. "Speak for yourself, I need a rest. I got bruises all over!"
	Crystal: 	"Like I said, we'll discuss it later." She lets Kate out inside the building.
* Kate runs in and jumps onto a bed!
* Miranda paused for a moment before looking to Crystal.
	Miranda: 	"Does this mean we can't do stuff at night anymore?"
	Crystal: 	"That's... A very good question. We'll figure something out, but we might have to go a while without."
* Miranda pouted.
DNA is disconnected.
	Venec: 	"Yeah, it's still fresh, especially with how late we set out." Venec turned to Crystal, "I'd rather have a time now, last time we didn't arrange a re-meet up we lost a day leaving Pewter." Venec turned to Kate and stood silently for a while. "... though... we should probably rest the day, for your family's sake. It's tough to live on the road, you need the time. I vote tomorrow morning"
	Danny: 	"10 a.m."
* Kate looks at Venec. Then she gets out of the bed, walks over to him, and looks up at him. "Hi! I'm Jenny Kate! What's your name?"
	Danny: 	"His name is Poo."
	Miranda: 	"Danny, stop being a jackass."
	Venec: 	"I tried to grow up traveling with my dad, it didn't really work." He chuckled and shook his head. Venec smiled to Kate as she hopped over, "I'm Venec Myles. I take the hits for the team."
	Danny: 	Guile:
	Nurse Joy: 	"And YOU stop cursing, Miranda."
* Danny rolls: 6d6+8 => 22 + 8 = 30
	Miranda: 	"Uh, do I know you...?"
	Danny: 	"No, it's true."
* Kate gives Nurse Joy a hug. "Thanks for letting us stay here, pretty lady!"
* Kate is oblivious to the guile attempt--her attention is already elsewhere.
* Nurse Joy hugs Kate in return.
	Venec: 	Venec sends out Ruta again.
	Danny: 	Darn you, attention span of a child!
	Nurse Joy: 	"It's why I built the place."
	Nurse Joy: 	"I'm sad you don't remember me, Miranda. You passed through here when you were still Human."
	Miranda: 	"O-Okay, no more 'bout that stuff."
	Nurse Joy: 	"?"
	Crystal: 	"A lot has happened since then. Not all of it was good."
	Miranda: 	"I don't recognize you. Sorry."
	Nurse Joy: 	"I'm Kameyo."
	Kate: 	"Ka-mayo?"
	Venec: 	"Nice to meet you." Venec made a casual saluted.
	Venec: 	*salute
	Nurse Joy: 	"At ease, pretty boy."
	Miranda: 	"..."
* Kate goes to play with the green-white-red kid!
* Miranda gave a very deep bow to the nurse.
* Miranda held the bow for a good moment before clinging to Crystal.
	Venec: 	Venec didn't know how to respond to that. He kind of looked to the side sheepishly.
	Nurse Joy: 	"So you DO remember me?"
	Ruta: 	"Hi! I'm Ruta!" Ruta folded her arms in front of herself and bowed.
* Nurse Joy bowed briefly to Ruta.
	Nurse Joy: 	"Hello little one."
	Ruta: 	Ruta bowed back to Nurse Joy, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
	Kate: 	"I'm Kate." Kate turns invisible. She moves with complete silence, going behind Ruta before appearing again and hugging her. "Rawr!"
	Ruta: 	"Kyaaa!" Ruta looks terrified and squirms.
* Crystal hugs Miranda tightly, and rubs her back to try and comfort her a bit.
	Miranda: 	'I'm fine. She's a very nice woman."
	Nurse Joy: 	"I found this one badly hurt and seperated from her friend. She was being chased----"
	Crystal: 	"Maybe you two could catch up while we're here?"
* Miranda turned and glared at the Nurse.
	Kate: 	"You're cute when you're scared," she says matter-of-factly.
	Venec: 	"... pretty boy... " Venec mumbled to himself, bewildered.
	Nurse Joy: 	"Hehehheee. Okay, I guess you don't want your past revealed. Alright, I won't reminisce."
	Ruta: 	Ruta's eyes begin to water up.
	Danny: 	"It's true, Venec. You are pretty. Not manly, like me!!!!" Danny flexed his muscles.
	Danny: 	Which were pretty tiny.
	Danny: 	His arms had tiny golf-ball like muscles.
	Kate: 	"I'm not gonna hurt you! I just wanted to surprise you."
	Ruta: 	" i.. i didn' like it..."
* Kate is still hugging the Kirlia.
	Ruta: 	Ruta still looks very uncomfortable
Kaorin Sakura: 	I think this is a good spot to end things.
Avara: 	yes
Kaorin Sakura: 	Alright!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Before I forget things...
