Mike: 	Kaorin has promised me better 5th gen sprites.
Mike: 	There you go!
Mike: 	*continues nomming*
Mike: 	Okay, I'm feeling a bit more human. Still nomming, but I'm alive - and I think I know who I'm bringing with me.
Mike: 	Did Kao mention which box we would be in?
Mike: 	Like, who's Red and who's Blue?
Lilea_Grove: 	Nope. Flip for it.
Avara: 	actually, i think kaorin said something about going left-to-right
Avara: 	so whoever's name is on the left side of your match-up gets the left box
Lilea_Grove: 	Ah, then I have no idea
Avara: 	Lilea's on the left
Avara: 	Lauren's on the right
Mike: 	*nod* I can live with that. Lets you 'enter', as it were.
* Mike will take the right-hand spot.
Avara: 	trainers have to stay in the boxes, just to clarify.
Mike: 	Makes it easier to set up init, too. *powers on the TV for GM access*
Mike: 	...I think I added everyone, heh. I'll put in my other two 'mons I intend to use, too.
Mike: 	And I have. Uh - do we want to have *everyone* in init, or just current combatants?
Lilea_Grove: 	There, Toggle Hold skips them.
Mike: 	Nice.
Lilea_Grove: 	Ready!
Mike Desktop: 	sorting!
	Lilea Grove: 	"Come on guys! We can do it!" Lilea bobbed side to side, "Your shot April!"

Lauren has received initiative.
	Lauren: 	"Hmm. Y'know, they said this' be a challenge. Guess th' first challenge is seein' where th' challenge *is*. Stephanotis, go on - Sniff 'em out, if you can.

	Lilea Grove: 	(I thought that would work. You can cut them out, I'll say which switch in and which don't_
Mike: (( On it. ))
Mike: (( Okay. ))
Mike: (( pass your turn? ))
	Lilea Grove: 	(( Yes ))

* Stephanotis tries to hide behind a rock, but it may not be enough...
April has received initiative.
Stephanotis: (( Can't actually attack until I'm in range... ))
	Lilea Grove: 	(( What cover do those rocks do, total? Can I hit between cracks? ))
Stephanotis: (( Hm. Only the big one blocks line of sight. If I were a GM I'd still call it some Cover, but I am biased here. Ava? D'you have an opinion? ))
Stephanotis: (( But I'd still let you try to make the attack. ))
	Lilea Grove: 	"We've got visual!" Lilea said as she watched through the camera following her pokemon. "It's a melee-r, keep your distance and let it come to you!" (Both Turns Passed)
Avara: 	iii'd say the rocks provide cover
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
Lauren has received initiative.
	Lilea Grove: 	(( Rocks and bushes block attacks but not sight, bushes and flowers are difficult terrain, that's what I'm thinking ))
	Stephanotis: 	"Grrow?!"
Kaorin Sakura has connected.
	Lauren: 	"Shoot, she's right. Was hopin' we could get th' drop on 'em..."
Stephanotis: (( Hhhhrm. That's a good strategy... ))

Kaorin Sakura: (( I'm here but not really. Doctor Who! ))
Stephanotis has received initiative.
April has received initiative.
* Stephanotis is surprised!
Stephanotis: (( Your Venonat wasn't there before, right? It did actually just appear? ))
	April: 	April is surprised as well! She didn't expect it to appear behind her like that! The venonat skips back and unleashes a cloud of dust! Poison Powder! « 1d20-3 = 11 - 3 = 8 » Speed Evasion vs Poison!
* Stephanotis is quick, but not THAT quick. Hit!
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
	Lilea Grove: 	"That's awesome but don't lose your focus! Keep on his tail and don't let up the attacks!" She constructive criticism'd!

TBG: (( I totally can't see the combatants. ))
Stephanotis: (( Looking up Push in PTU now. ))
	April: 	(( Log in as GM ))
TBG is disconnected.
TBG has connected.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Reconnect as GM ))
	April: 	April loses 5 hit points.

	Stephanotis: 	Stephanotis loses 4 hit points.
April has received initiative.
TBG: (( much better. ))
	April: 	(( Waiting for push damage, or do we just do xd6? ))
Stephanotis: (( AFAI can see, the PTU book does not list any bonus damage for Pushing into things. ))
Stephanotis: (( Unless Kaorin tells us otherwise, I don't think I can get bonus damage for it. ))
Avara: 	iirc it's usually 1d6 on collision
TBG: (( I usually use 1d6+distance pushed. ))
	April: 	The ball of puff bounced off the rock and landed where she was! Taking an additiona « 1d6+2 = 5 + 2 = 7 » battering damage!
	April: 	April loses 7 hit points.
TBG: (( and if Pokemon ram into each other, damage is taken by both. ))
TBG: (( or at least, that's my ruling. ))
Stephanotis: (( Well, I'm not gonna stop you from taking additional damage. ))
Stephanotis: (( Regardless: Your turn. ))
TBG: (( so how many mons have fainted by now? ))
	April: 	((That was first damage))
TBG: 	0_0
Stephanotis: (( We're working on it! ))
	April: 	Her focus wasn't broken, it was BEAM TIME! She lowered her head and fired a beam of strange Signals! « 1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18 » Special Evasion! Targeting the stat weakened by her poison! Special Evasion! Targeting the stat weakened by her poison! « 3d12+10+9 = 6 + 10 + 9 = 25 » Special Bug!
	Stephanotis: 	Stephanotis loses 23 hit points.
* Stephanotis is slammed around by the Signal Beam!
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
	April: 	(( Rollin for wound? ))
Avara: 	« 1d6 = 3 »
Avara: 	sp.atk
Lauren: (( I've never done that before! But yeah, I believe that's two injuries, correct? Because that was more than 50% in one go. ))
Avara: 	« 1d6 = 5 »
Avara: 	sp.def
* Lauren sucks in air through her teeth.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Keep it up! You can't let your advantage let you lower your guard!" Constructive Criticism!
Lauren has received initiative.
Avara: 	... sorry, not sp.def. speed.
	Lauren: 	"Stephan, g'job, but this fight ain't yours t'win, it seems. Come on back."
* Lauren fires the Return beam on Stephan's Pokeball, and he is returned! Since I believe Kao said in topic that it's able ot hit anywhere on these maps.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Hmmm... retreating after two wounds, she's still thinking ahead to the next round." Lilea smiled. ((Recalling does, sending doesn't))
Mike: (( Yep. ))

	April: 	((Pass))
Reaper has received initiative.
* Reaper pursues, and gives a nasty Leer! « d20-2 = 13 - 2 = 11 » v. SpeedEva!
	April: 	April shivers! Her defenses dropping.
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
* Reaper begins to smile. The hunt is afoot!
	Lilea Grove: 	"Yeah, I've got a good matchup all right... Return April! Go Olivia!"
	Lilea Grove: 	(( Acting GM, please switch out Venonat and Arbok on my team for initiative)
	Reaper: 	Hold it!
* Reaper uses Pursuit!
TBG: (( clever ))
TBG: (( and a free round on whatever swaps in to boot. ))
	Reaper: 	« d20-2 = 8 - 2 = 6 » to hit v. DefEva!
	Lilea Grove: 	((It hits!))
Avara: 	sorry... i don't know how to do what you just asked me to do?
	Reaper: 	« 3d6+10+20 = 5 + 10 + 20 = 35 » Physical Dark Damage against the Venonat!

Lauren has received initiative.
TBG: (( it's so we can see the battle though. ))
Lauren: (( Hmm. Nah, I'll save it - enough room to play with. ))
Lauren: (( Do I know that Olivia is switched in? I presume so, yes? ))
	Lilea Grove: 	((You heard the name, don't have visual yet))
Lauren: (( Hrm. Well, let's go the less meta-game-y route. ))
TBG: (( Summoning dizziness means that, when you swap a Pokémon out (That hasn't fainted, wasn't swapped by a feature or by a move) the Pokémon loses the next standard action it would've had access to. -Kaorin, Battle Castle thread, page 3 ))
Lauren: (( Oh. Okay then. ))

Reaper has received initiative.
* Reaper glides forward slowly, quietly...
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea shifted to see! But she couldn't. "He's out there somewhere... now he's a lasher just like you, watch his movements, see his tension. Take note of when he strikes." Constructive Criticism!
TBG: (( Actually, no Arcran, you have a point here. We'll stick with The Pokémon Shuffle rules. Less confusion overall!- Kaorin, Page 4. Derp. ))
Lauren has received initiative.
Olivia has received initiative.
TBG: (( well, that's my bad. Not like it really affected anyone. ))
Reaper: (( Passin'. ))
Reaper: (( Hmm. ))
	Olivia: 	Olivia couldn't stockpile, so she sat in crouched waiting....
	Olivia: 	((pass))
Reaper has received initiative.
* Reaper moved forward, dashing above the trees! ...But couldn't find the opponent. He'd been so sure she'd be there...
Lilea Grove has received initiative.

Reaper has received initiative.
* Reaper flies around, searching, not finding his prey... But hearing the subtle, disconcerting sounds of a Pokemon feeding and growing stronger...
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
	Lilea Grove: 	"You've built up enough! Start doing some hunting of your own!"
	Lilea Grove: 	Constructive Criticism!
Lauren has received initiative.
	Olivia: 	Olivia nodded to her trainer, smiling in anticipation.
	Lauren: 	"Ahhh." Realization dawns on her. "Shoot. Well played..."
Olivia has received initiative.
	Olivia: 	Olivia moved to the open, but saw no one. She frowned in mild disapointment but who was she to blame? (Pass)
Reaper has received initiative.
* Reaper flies and hides...
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Hmmm... time for you to hunt. He's probably around the rocks or above the trees where you can't get him. But you can take a hit, do so if that's what drawing him out will take!" Lilea told Olivia (CC)
Lauren has received initiative.
	Lauren: 	"Let 'em come to you this time..."
Olivia has received initiative.
	Olivia: 	Olivia slipped along, stopping for her third and final Stockpile.
Reaper has received initiative.
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
Reaper: (( This is tense... Though at some point maybe we should just burn the forest down. >.> ))
TBG: (( that was my plan for using Locomokoal on this map. ))
	Lilea Grove: 	"Hmm... how about a showdown at the rock! Make your way there and keep your back to it!" (CC)
Avara: 	something tells me the officials won't like that
Lauren has received initiative.
	Lauren: 	"Sounds fine to me!" *sly grin*
TBG: (( screw that. Right now, I AM the official. ))
Olivia has received initiative.
Lauren: (( AH AM THE LAW ))
TBG: (( YOU WILL RESPECT MAH AWTHORATAW. ))
TBG: (( gets out a beat'em up stick ))
	Olivia: 	Olivia waited, all stockpiled out. She smiled as she saw the scyther in the trees. "(Aww... how about you come down and play with me?)" She shot him a Glare! « 1d20-2 = 3 - 2 = 1 » Speed vs. Paralysis.
	Olivia: 	She was just to playful to show off a menacing glare.
TBG: (( Uh huh. ))
* Reaper dodges, narrowly, diving into the leaves of the trees to avoid the brunt of the stare.
Reaper has received initiative.
	Reaper: 	"(You look to be fine prey, m'lady.)" You can hear the smile in his voice. "(May I have this dance?)"
	Olivia: 	Olivia giggled and flipped the tip of her tail back and forth.
* Reaper rushes out of the trees, and attacks with a Quick Attack! « d20-2 = 3 - 2 = 1 » to hit v. DEFeva!
Reaper: (( RNG c'mon. ))
TBG: (( so much for an explosion of action. ))
	Olivia: 	Olivia slipped past the slash.
Reaper: (( Martial Arts Dodging Sequence Go! ))
Lilea Grove has received initiative.
TBG: (( It's now gonna be like a scene from Dragon Ball Z. ))
Reaper: (( We already did the interminable power-up sequence. ))
	Lilea Grove: 	"C'mon! Don't let him lull you into a sense of safety! Bring it home!" (CC)
Reaper: (( HRRRRRRNG ))
Reaper: (( AAAAAAAAH ))
Reaper: (( THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL EVOLUTION ))
Avara: 	so they're going to dodge each other a bunch, until one gets off a crit?

	Olivia: 	« 2d6+10+17 = 7 + 10 + 17 = 34 » Physical Fire.
	Olivia: 	+ Burn
* Reaper moves quickly, first - another Quick Attack as an Interrupt! Maybe he can stem this off! « d20-2 = 11 - 2 = 9 »
TBG: 	"Ooh! A devastating Fire Fang from Arbok! Will Reaper be able to handle the heat?"
	Reaper: 	« 2d6+8+20 = 8 + 8 + 20 = 36 » Normal Physical damage.
* Reaper is then caught in the Fire Fang, and KO'd!
	Reaper: 	Reaper loses 50 hit points.
Reaper: (( UNLESS that KO's her. ))
	Olivia: 	Olivia loses 7 hit points.
Reaper: (( Stockpile! *shakes fist* ))
Reaper: (( So, how many Injuries is that to Reaper? Lots, I presume. ))
	Olivia: 	The quick attack raked across her hardened scales, but didn't draw blood.
	Olivia: 	(2 for HP damage alone, 1 for 50% in one go)
TBG: (( massive damage, -100% HP... that's 3 minimum ))
Reaper: (( Roll 'em for me? ))
TBG: 	« 1d6 = 3 » « 1d6 = 1 » « 1d6 = 6 »
Reaper: (( Since they carry over... though I'm beginning to think I don't need to worry about that too much. ))

Olivia has received initiative.
Olivia has received initiative.
Kerria has received initiative.
* Kerria immediately enters the battle, and tries to Calm her Mind.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Kerria..." Lilea smiled, "I counted on a psychic, it's why I lead with who I did... now lets see... should I try to weather with the stockpile or put you up against your weakness... Course you want to fight! Go Get 'em Olivia!"
Lilea Grove has received initiative.

* Lauren thinks for a moment, and then speaks. "Sorry to do this t'ya, but... Here she is!"
	Olivia: 	Olivia stood her ground, carefully.
* Kerria calmly steps forward, as if focused on some unseeable plane of existence. Her eyes flash in Confusing colors, staring right at Olivia! « d20-2 = 2 - 2 = 0 » to hit v.SpDefEva!
Kerria: (( FFUUUUUU- ))
	Olivia: 	Olivia dodges nerviously, knowing any swing could be her last!
Lauren has received initiative.
	Lauren: 	"Ghk-"
	Lauren: 	"I was... hopin' that'd hit."
Olivia has received initiative.

Lauren: (( Since we have 3 'mon apiece here. ))
Avara: 	you could forfeit.
	Olivia: 	(( You would have to, if you didn't what ava said ))
Lauren: (( That's what I was thinking, yeah. ))
* Lauren holds up her hands. "Okay. Stephanotis ain't reayd to take *you* on yet.
	Lauren: 	"I give! You win."
	Lilea Grove: 	"OMIGOSH YOU GUYS WE WON!"
	Olivia: 	Olivia cuddled Kerria up in her coils and pulled her over to Lauren.
	Lauren: 	"Thanks. We'll get her healed up right away."
	Lauren: 	"But... lemme take a lookit'chu!"
	Olivia: 	Olivia smiled.
* Lauren looks the Arbok over appreciateively.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Lesse here. April and Olivia only, yes? ))
* Lauren runs her hands gently along the edges of her hood. "Oh, still such a beauty."
	Olivia: 	((Yes))
Lauren: (( Yep. I got kinda rofflestomped. ))

* Stephanotis may begrudge not being able to fight more, but he's not dumb.

	Lilea Grove: 	"That was a game of rocket tag if I've ever seen one! That could have gone either way sooo easily!" Lilea said over her speaker.
* Lauren finally looks up at the ceiling, yelling. "Y'did good!"
Kaorin Sakura: (( Stephanotis, Reaper and Kerria all gain 30 XP. ))
	Lilea Grove: 	"So did you! My heart was pounding the whole time, like crazy!"
Lauren: (( Yay! ))
	Lauren: 	"a-HA!"
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea hugged Lauren tight!
Lauren: (( Kerria learns Disable! Rockin'. ))
	Lauren: 	*squoozes back hard*
	Lauren: 	"How ya been, girl!"
	Lilea Grove: 	"Great to see you! I figured I was gonna get a facefull of Kerria but I thought you were going to start with her! I started out with my signal beamer and everything!" Lilea was all full of grins, happy she won, happy to see a friend, happy to have had a good battle!
	Lauren: 	"Hah! I jus' wanted th' littlest one to get some experience first."
	Lauren: 	*grins back* "You beat me good, too."
	Lauren: 	"Been a while since I had my butt handed to me like that. Blaine couldn't do it!"
	Lilea Grove: 	"Omigosh really? You've got badges?!"
	Lauren: 	"Jus' one, but yep!"
* Lauren shoulders her backpack, and shows off the Volcanobadge pinned to one loop.
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea squealed, jumped and clapped all at once, "That's incredible! I beat someone who won a badge!"
	Lauren: 	"Yeah, yeah, rub it in." *gives you a little punch in the shoulder*
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea laughed. "That's really cool though! I would be on a badge hunt myself but work's too unpredictable, Battle Castle works better for my career. I'll have to take on the pokemon vicariously through you!"
	Lilea Grove: 	"So give them hell for me girl!"
	Lauren: 	"Long as you do th' same here!"
	Lauren: 	"I'mma be embarassed if you don't take this cup home."
	Lilea Grove: 	She nodded, "I plan to keep winning! Though... this is my first time."
	Lauren: 	"Hah! I couldn't tell."
	Lauren: 	"So - Where'd you get these beauties? I remember Olivia, but th' rest here seem new."
* Lauren looks over Olivia's Pokemon.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Oh! I travel a lot through work. Its a Johto organization but I'm all over Japan. So these are the girls I caught on my travels. I like collecting poison pokemon, you see."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Um... I can't remember which were though... I think I have a scrapbook I can dig up later though."
	Lauren: 	*nod nod* "I'd love ta see if if'n you find it. Ma prolly would, too!"
	Lauren: 	"Oh! Lemme show you my guys. You didn't see 'em much durin' the fight, I bet."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Okay!"
* Lauren releases her Pokemon!
	Olivia: 	Olivia coiled at their feet as they talked.
	Lauren: 	"Lesse. Lime's th' Butterfree - check out his new wings!"
	Lauren: 	"Koolie's the Jolteon. He was my first wild catch."
	Lauren: 	"Reaper's from Ma's old days, actually."
	Lauren: 	"Stephanotis is a trade from this really powerful Trainer up in Tohoku..."
	Lauren: 	"Kerria was from Cinnabar, actually! Long story there."
	Lauren: 	"And Amethyst-"
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea waved to Lime, "Bugs are sooo cool!" She looked to Koolie, "I like his fur!"
	Amethyst: 	"Olivia!"
	Amethyst: 	*glomp*
	Lime: 	"free~"
	Olivia: 	Olivia scooped up Amethyst, "(How have you been, cute one?)"
* Koolie sits, quietly, his tail wagging once.

Could not execute the command: "me snuggles in. "(Good! Our eggs hatched. 3 )"", exception = String index out of range: 83
	Lilea Grove: 	"That's an interesting color, I've been to Tohoku a few times! They have a place of nothin' but cats, it's hilarious! You should visit sometime!"
	Amethyst: 	"(Good!)"
	Amethyst: 	"(Our eggs hatched. *blush* )"
	Lauren: 	"Maybe that's where he's from? I don't know all th' details, really, but I got my suspicions."
	Olivia: 	She smiled, "(Are they healthy and strong?)" She nosed the little mew.
	Amethyst: 	"(Mmmm. Mmhm! One's big like you are now. And one's itty-bitty, but sparkly like me!)"
* Stephanotis mewls to explain, adorably.
	Olivia: 	Olivia smiles warmly as she listens.
	Lauren: 	"Oh, oh, what else... Uh, so I'm travellin' with some guys now. Nothing as exciting as your work, I'm sure, jus' tryin' to get th' word out about Pascua Farms."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Hm? What are you trying to get the word out for?"
	Lauren: 	"Oh! Man, right. I'm so jumbled up here."
	Lauren: 	"So, we stopped growin' produce. We're switchin' over to housing Pokemon and breedin' them."
	Lauren: 	"Plus the ancilliary products."
	Lauren: 	"So! I go an' catch'em, and they go live on th' farm with my folks! Jared, Karl, and Ben're helping out t- Oh! Ben! Oh man so MUCh has happened."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Oh! If you run a shelter or anything, I'm sure I could connect you with people! I first got Olivia through a rehabilitation program."
	Lauren: 	"That. Would be awesome. But but but here-"
* Lauren pulls out her Pokedex, and flips to the photo section. She pulls up a picture of a young boy, about two years old, with brown hair and a Teddiursa in his hands.
	Lauren: 	"That's Ben! Youngest member'a th' Pascua clan now."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Awww~! He's adorable!"
	Lauren: 	"I know! He was kinda unexpected, but Ma and Pa're happier than Skuntanks in a manure pile."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Oh geez, that was a bad week!"
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea shook her head in recollection.
* Lauren laughs. "Yeah..."
	Lauren: 	"'Ceus, we smelled awful!"
	Lilea Grove: 	"But congradulations! That's incredible! Does he get along with the pokemon? Do you think he'll be a trainer? Um um um!" Lilea was clearly very excited.
	Lauren: 	"I dunno! He's just real quiet, really."
	Lauren: 	"Might be more of a book-kinda guy when he gets t' readin'."
	Lauren: 	"But Jared's itchin' to go train, actually. he's got his License now."
	Lauren: 	"We had to convince him to stick around and learn from the Pokemon I'm catchin'."
	Lauren: 	*continues to grin, unable to stop*
	Lauren: 	"...I missed havin' you around, Lilea. It was nice t'have a sister for a while."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Awww.." Lilea hugged Lauren again, "Well I'll be sure to visit! And be sure to visit me, I'll roll out the sleeping bags in my room and we'll both sleep on the floor, just like old times."
	Lauren: 	"I'd like that. You guys okay with that?"
	Lime: 	"Free~!"
	Lime: 	*nod*
	Olivia: 	Olivia smiled.
	Amethyst: 	"Mmhm!" *squoozes*
	Lauren: 	"Hm... I may have ta see about hooking up your Spinarak or Venonat with a friend of mine's Pokemon sometime... He's a Spinarak, too. Ground-typed though. Bravest li'l spider I've seen."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Ooo, type shifts are interesting! I picked up my little Mana here when she was a poison type! She was singled out in her clan, everyone bullied her. Either they were afraid of her typing or they just picked on whoever was different... it's amazing how pokemon can be so humanlike at times."
	Lauren: 	"Aww!"
	Lauren: 	"An' yeah... I mean, some people think'a them as just these, I'unno. Pets or food or whatever."
	Lauren: 	"But there's a lot more to 'em than that. Just as crazy as you or I."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Eh-heh... well... I've got two snakes on my party. As queezy as it makes me sometimes I have to turn away when they find another pokemon." Lilea said sheepishly.
	Lauren: 	"Mm... I try not t'think about that, too."
	Lauren: 	"SO glad Pokemon Centers have chow."
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea nodded, "I'm more used to it, working with pokemon in the wild. Doing disaster area stuff. You know, like forest fires or toxic spills. Or toxic cleanups if the place has become a vital habbitat for grimer. Funny how that balance works." She laughed.
* Lauren scrunches her face. "Ew. Hadn't thought about it. Amethyst is my first Poison-type."
	Lauren: 	"An' she doesn't do much Poison-type... stuff."
	Amethyst: 	"I punch people with poison!"
	Lilea Grove: 	"She's such a cutie though!"
* Amethyst beams at Lilea.
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea giggles.
	Olivia: 	"(I punch with poison too. I just punch with my fangs.)"
	Olivia: 	Olivia play nibbled Amethyst's ears.
* Amethyst leans into it, and sighs.
	Amethyst: 	"Ahhh~"
	Lauren: 	"Okay you two, settle down. No breedin' 'till the tournament's over."
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea giggled, "I don't know how many more glass snakes you want, but if we keep hanging out the farm will be overrun!"
	Lauren: 	"Believe it or not, I'm really startin' t'like the Glass type."
	Lauren: 	"I mean... It's new an' unique, and no one else has 'em. So it's a great thing for th' farm."
	Lauren: 	"But they also kinda... speak to me. Y'know?"
	Lauren: 	"Fragile an' beautiful, but sprurisingly resilient."
	Lilea Grove: 	"I would too! It's so unique!" Lilea smiled, "Is it because you're all clear and honest and shiney?"
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea laughed, "You are not fragile!"
	Lauren: 	:3 "Sweet'a you to say so."
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea was helping Lime to air backflips, holding on to each of her little claws as the butterfree spun.
	Lilea Grove: 	"You said you've been having adventures lately, what've you done?"
* Lime spins happily, leaving bits of glass dust and paralyzing scales floating in the air like sparkling confetti.
	Lauren: 	"Ohhhh boy. Lesse..."
	Lauren: 	"So, th' biggest thing we've done was stop a Heatran from eatin' a lady in Cinnabar's volacno. I caught her, but she was a jerk, so I traded her to a group that knew their way 'round Legendaries more. Got an Egg outta it, though."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Ooo... I can see through your wings, you've got a bit of glass to you too~" She scrunched her nose and babytalked the small pokemon before listening in to Lauren.
	Lime: 	"Free-ee~!"
* Lime shows off his new transparent wings!
	Lauren: 	"And then we went to this spooky ol' lab on Niui, like a day 'way from Cinnabar."
	Lauren: 	"We found a buncha stuff about Amethyst, and about Aishen, an-"
	Lauren: 	"Oh! I shoudl tell you 'bout my other friends."
* Lauren is tripping over herself a bit...
	Lauren: 	"So, there's Theo. He's a nice ol' guy. Kinda the team grampa."
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea smiled and nodded, not at all looking impatient. "I'd be more interested in legendary pokemon if they, you know." She looked at her team and smiled.
	Lauren: 	*nod* "Well... Tell ya what."
	Lauren: 	"Next time Amethyst and Olivia hang out... If any Mew eggs come out with Poison in 'em, you can have one. Sound like somethin' to shoot for?"
	Lauren: 	"If they ain't GOT the Legend you want, just MAKE 'em." *grin*
	Amethyst: 	"I like this plan!"
	Lilea Grove: 	"We'll see what happens!" Lilea cackled like a mad scientist.
	Lauren: 	"Hah! I can see th' lab coat on y'now."
	Olivia: 	Olivia smiled and gave Amethyst a tighter squeeze in her coils.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Just throw on a lab coat over this outfit?" She giggled.
	Lauren: 	"It'd be cute!"
* Lauren takes a half-step back, and points her hands at Lilea like a camera.
	Lauren: 	"Yeah, you could make it work. Pretty science-lady comin' to test yer tubes an' whatnot."
	Lauren: 	*blink* "..That didn't quite come out right, did it?"
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea took a pose with her hands on her hips. She laughed and then sat in the grass. "Well I've been writing more papers, none of them really getting me anywhere. I'm still a long way away from 'Professor Grove'."
	Lauren: 	"Well, whenever you get there, I'll read 'em! Or at least I'll skim the synopsis."
* Lauren sits down too, and pats her lap.
* Lime lands on Lauren's leg, and flaps twice.
* Koolie pads closer, and sits next to Lauren, but not quite in her lap.
	April: 	April hops on Lilea's lap and looks up, Rain following behind.
	Lilea Grove: 	"No, I'm just sitting down, it's not storytime yet." Lilea said, smiling to the ball of puff and the spider.
	Lauren: 	:3 "Story time, hunh?"
	Lilea Grove: 	"These two just love books, especially books with pictures. I don't know if they like the stories, the pictures or just my reading voice. Scout over there stays close too, though she pretends she's not interested."
	Scout: 	Scout rolled her eyes.
* Lauren leans back to look at Scout, fangs-first. "Reminds me of Koolie."
	Lauren: 	"He's all quiet an' kinda standoffish, but his heart's in th' right place. Ain't it, boy?"
* Koolie wags his tail once, but otherwise doesn't move.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Heehee, Snake pokemon like to keep a level of intimidation about them, but if they like you they'll just lounge all over you."
	Olivia: 	Olivia flops her chin on Lilea's shoulder and nuzzles her.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Oof!"
* Amethyst flops her - his? Depends on the time of day.. - chin on Olivia, mimicing the motion.
	Lauren: 	"Oh, THAT reminds me of this, uh, other guy I'm travellin' with."
	Olivia: 	Olivia curls into a ball around Amethyst again.
	Amethyst: 	"(Mmmm, you give the BIGGEST hugs.)"
	Lilea Grove: 	"Okay, we have a Theo and an Aishen."
	Lauren: 	"Aishen, yeah. He's the guy."
	Lauren: 	"He's a jerk sometimes, but he's startin' to soften up. He's, uh... Half-Flygon."
* Lauren blushes just a bit as she talks.
	Lilea Grove: 	"I met one of those once! I was only ten. I remember her getting on my nerves but I can't remember why. I was very up and down a lot that day."
	Lauren: 	"Hmm..." *leans forward and listens*
TBG is disconnected.
	Lilea Grove: 	"Your mom was with me then! Lonnie! That was, um.. before I disappeared." Lilea never did settle on a propper euphamism for the event, "An ace trainer named Theodore, Lonnie and some guy Nick who showed up with an ADORABLE pink Celebi! Oh! Yumi too!" Lilea sighed, "She was so cool."
	Lauren: 	"I thought so. Theo was tellin' us about that story a while ago."
	Lauren: 	"So... My 'Theo' is your 'Theo'."
	Lauren: 	"He's, uh, a lot older now."
	Lilea Grove: 	"I imagine! He already had a lot behind him then. I can't remember how old he was, but when you're ten everyone northside of sixteen is old."
	Lauren: 	*nod nod* "'Ceus... I'm up in that range now!"
* Lauren hadn't thought about it before!
	Lauren: 	"but I've always been 'th' oldest', I guess."
	Lilea Grove: 	"Haha, it sneaks up on you doesn't it! Better get cracking that pokemon league or you're going to be an old woman befor eyou get there!"
	Lauren: 	"Well, maybe I should just get up an' let you get to stompin' everyone else, then?"
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea frowned a little, "Yeah, I suppose I should get treating the bruses for the next match. But watch me, okay? And you can come over afterward! I've got an appartment set up here and everything, it's soooo convinient!"
	Lauren: 	"I will! Wouldn't miss it."
* Lauren leans forward for one more hug. "Go get 'em, Lilea. I wanna see that trophy on a Pascua mantleplace, even if it ain't mine."
	Lilea Grove: 	Lilea hugged back and squeezed as tight as her arms could! (not much)
* Lauren isn't much for squeezing hard either, but she tries!
	Lilea Grove: 	X3 "Alright girls! Lets get ready for the next match!
* Amethyst gives Olivia one more squooze, before trying to slip free.
	Olivia: 	Olivia flicks her tongue against Ameythyst's nose before letting her go.
Mike: (( Call it there? ))
	Olivia: 	((Yep!))
