Nychii has connected.
Mike: 	Lesse. Got my Pokemon sheet up, got my Trainer sheet up, got some tunes playing. Life is good~
Mike: 	I think I've got everything updated. Just to be sure: I don't get a free Pokemon Center visit to heal up my Jolteon, do I?

Mike: 	*names*
TBG has connected.
Kaorin Sakura: 	No free visit, no.
Kaorin Sakura: 	There's also no Pokemon Center in Pallet.
Kaorin Sakura: 	So, once everyone is up to date ( and you will need to replace tokens though I can do that once you're done ) we'll begin. ^-^
Tobi has received initiative.
Mike: 	(*swaps old Lauren for new Lauren token*)
Mike: 	(*keeps HP the same*)
TBG: 	*has no new token*
Kaorin Sakura: 	Did you update your box tokens, Dan?
Mike: 	(Well, same sprite. I mean I updated the values on the token in my Box, and then swapped the Lauren token in Pallet from last week's version to this week.)
TBG: 	Aye
Kaorin Sakura: 	36 is your new HP?
TBG: 	Well.. I better check the box one
Kaorin Sakura: 	Keep the box up to date before anything else.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Whenever I need anything from your party or your token, I'll default to the box.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Let me know when you're done updating your tokens. ^-^
TBG: 	Ready to roll, Capn'!
Nychii: 	Gonna start saving them to my desktop so I can fiddle with it
Mike: 	(I'm good to go. ^_^)
Nychii: 	(Yea, I think I might be good too)
Nychii: 	(May I change my overland icon next time?)
	Lauren: 	Lauren loses 25 hit points.
	Lauren: 	(*re-takes damage from before*)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Overland icon?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh, your token picture?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yeah, feel free.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Or, do you mean your overworld sprite?
Kaorin Sakura: 	As long as it fits in with the them, I'm fine with it.
Nychii: 	(I mean the overworld Sprite)
Kaorin Sakura: 	theme*
Kaorin Sakura: 	You can do it now if you have one in mind.
Nychii: 	which gen did you take them from?
Nychii: 	er...I don't
Kaorin Sakura: 	3rd gen.
Nychii: 	XD
Nychii: 	okay, thanks
Kaorin Sakura: 	ALright!

	Narrator: 	Next 6 hours: Partly cloudy with temperatures steady in the mid 60s. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.
	Narrator: 	January 1st, 8:34 A.M.
	Narrator: 	Welcome to the World of Pokémon!
	Narrator: 	When we last saw the gang, they had recently acquired thier Pokédex from the infamous Professor Oak and encountered a wild Jolteon in town! After a quick battle on a bridge, Lauren managed to capture it!
* Lauren is pretty proud of that too! Despite the serious bruising she took.
	Theodore: 	(*coughstealcough*)
Nychii: 	What were we doing again? -scratches head- Oh right...the PokeMart!
* Lauren holds her side with one hand, and her new, Jolteon-filled Pokeball with the other, while Lime settles back in on her shoulder. She looks at it, and grins.
	Lauren: 	"...Phew... Oh, yeah."
	Theodore: 	Yeah. We oughta stock up on supplies.
Nychii: 	Do we need to head to the hospital? Are you still hurt?
	Tobi: 	(sry, forgot to impersonate)
	Lauren: 	(This is a fair question. How long will it take me to heal?)
	Lauren: 	(Is it just a matter of a good night's rest? I'd rather not use my Enriched Water unless it's my best option.)
	Narrator: 	We're using the only natural healing system available.
	Narrator: 	The one from 1.29.
	Narrator: 	I'll copy it here, just a moment.
	Lauren: 	(danke, don't want to have to dig for an old version if you have it to-hand)
	Narrator: 	As long as the pokemon or trainer is above 50% of their full HP, an 8 hour rest will recover HP equal to 25% of their Max HP.
* Tobi Tobi attempts to recall Ace back into his ball without much success...
	Tobi: 	Fine, you can stay out too...
	Narrator: 	Otherwise, a Pokémon Center or similar place of rest will recover you to full.
	Lauren: 	(And there isn't one of those around... Hrmph.)
	Tobi: 	Want to try asking Professor Oak if we can stay at his lab for a bit?
	Lauren: 	"I doubt he'd say it's okay. He seemed like he was in a big ol' hurry to get us outta there."
	Lauren: 	"'Sides, I'll be fine. Lemme just grab a drink real quick..."
	Tobi: 	Oh, by the way, I'm Tobi Maiz. Just call me Tobi!
* Lauren reaches into her backpack, and pulls out a bottle of refreshing Enriched Water. She pops the tap and drinks most of the bottle in one go.
	Lauren: 	Lauren is healed and gains 25 hit points.
	Tobi: 	Wow, you're looking better already. *mutters* I need to get some of those.
	Theodore: 	Hmm... I'll need to look into some first aid...
	Lauren: 	"Mmhm!" *caps bottle* "Oh, right, names. I'm Lauren! Aaaand we should prolly hit that PokeMart afore we get distracted again."
	Tobi: 	Sure, I usually prefer to hit the books than hit the stores but I did promise Jolteon some food the last time we met and I'd like to keep the promise. -wide smile-
	Theodore: 	Theo. Oak wanted me to chaperone y'all.
	Tobi: 	-smirk-
* Lauren nods. "Hehe. You wanna feed *mah* Pokemon, you're welcome to!" She starts heading towards the PokeMart.
	Lauren: 	(looks like it's south, over the river. Shall we?)
	Lass: 	"Clefairy, don't let that Poison effect you!"
	Clefairy (owned): 	"Rroooo!!"
* Lauren perks up at the sound of battle as she passes by.
	Theodore: 	Hmm... looks like there's a battle going on.
	Bug-Catcher: 	"You don't stand a chance! Butterfree, knock it out with a Sleep Powder!"
* Butterfree (owned) blows up a gust of slumbering dust!
	Tobi: 	(I don't see any icons)
	Tobi: 	(Is it just my screen?)
	Theodore: 	*move back a bit.
	Theodore: 	(fog of war)
* Lauren sighs. "Speakin' of distractions... One sec, y'all." She whips out her brand-new Pokedex, and scans the two battling Pokemon - if it's at all polite to do so. (never sure about the manners of this >.>)
	Tobi: 	(Still don't see it
	Narrator: 	One sec then.
	Tobi: 	(Oh)
	Theodore: 	(look up north)
	Theodore: 	(there ya go)
	Narrator: 	Oh, you can see them now? Great!
	Tobi: 	(yup, see it now)
	Lauren: 	(Mmhm. Had some issues with LoS earlier myself, but it sorted itself out.)
	Clefairy (owned): 	"Rrrrroooo....zzzz..." -Clefairy falls asleep standing-
	Gentleman: 	"G'Morning folks. Takin' an interest in the children over yonder?"
* Lime jumps a little on Lauren's shoulder. "Pie?"
* Gentleman tips his hat to all of you.
	Lauren: 	"Uh... that's a way a puttin' it, maybe. Just heard th' fight, figured maybe see what it was - and who's fightin'." *holds up Pokedex*
	Mark: 	"You three must be the folks ol' Oak mentioned was comin' to town. Names Mark. Mark Johnson."
	Lauren: 	"Glad ta meet'cha!" *nods politely* "Lauren."
	Theodore: 	Theo Richardson. Pleased ta meetcha.
* Theodore offers his hand.
	Tobi: 	Please, I'm Tobi. -watches the match intensely-
* Mark shakes Theo's hand.
	Lass: 	"Clefairy! C'mon, get up!"
	Clefairy (owned): 	Zzzzz...
	Mark: 	"The place became a bit Popular when Akai became Champion."
	Mark: 	"You may know him as Red."
	Lauren: 	(I'm presuming we'd know at least a little bit about this, yes? It'd be, like, the Super Bowl and the Liston/Patterson fight rolled into one or something?)
	Mark: 	( Red is the Champion yeah. The Gym Leaders are the same. Things like that would be well-known. )
	Tobi: 	You don't say... -absent-mindedly-
	Theodore: 	I remember 'im. The kid was pretty popular back in my day.
	Theodore: 	*even back in my day
	Lauren: 	*nods* "Heard of 'im, yeah. This is his hometown?"
	Bug-Catcher: 	"Alright Butterfree, we got 'er on the ropes! Bug Bite!"
* Butterfree (owned) knaws on the slumbering Clefairy.
* Lauren pats Lime. "Hey, take a gander - yer gonna be just like that one day."
	Lime: 	*peeks out from under Lauren's hair* "...piiiiee...."
	Tobi: 	*mutters* Yea! Do it, do it!
	Mark: 	"It sure is! There's more battles here than before he left. In fact, there weren't any!"
	Mark: 	"But, I assume you three are headin' to the Florence?"
	Taillow: 	(whoa...all the icons disappeared
	Narrator: 	Click the background.
	Narrator: 	If you click your token specifically, you'll only see what the token can see.
	Lauren: 	(Elsewise it's what everyone with a sight range can see - so usually, all the PCs.)
	Taillow: 	(I don't actually see the Ace's icon but everything else came back)
	Narrator: 	The buildings are vision blocking so, going into them will block all vision.
	Taillow: 	(oh...the housing's covering him, guess he can't perch)
* Lauren keeps her Pokedex steady, waiting for it to ding. The kids seem distracted enough that they shouldn't mind the scan, right?
TBG is disconnected.
	Pokedex: 	"Clefairy, the Fairy Pokémon. Normal type. Its adorable behavior and cry make it highly popular. However, this cute Pokémon is rarely found."
	Pokedex: 	"Butterfree, the Butterfly Pokémon. Bug and Flying type. The poison scales on its wings are waterproof, allowing this Pokémon to be active even on rainy days."
TBG has connected.
	Lauren: 	"Neat!" *snaps it closed*
TBG: 	(sorry. computer hiccuped)
	Tobi: 	(it's fine, wb)
* Lime continues to watch the Butterfree - water-proof scales and all - beat the Clefairy down. He's amazed at... well, pretty much everything he's doing.
* Lauren brings Lime down into her arms for a closer look. "You just wait an' see, li'l buddy..."
	Mark: 	"Well, if you are, the Florence is just south o' here docked at the pier. Ain't leavin' for a bit 'til later this morning."
* Clefairy (owned) suddenly wakes up.
	Lass: 	"We're back in the game! Quick, use Doubleslap!"
* Lauren raises an eyebrow, and looks away from the battle. "...I don't suppose it's a free ride?"
* Taillow is clearly bored. He flies around a bit, perching on the occasional lamp post, rooftop, or old man's hat.
	Taillow: 	(if he actually has a hat)
* Clefairy (owned) swings wildly at the Butterfree, landing four slaps!
	Mark: 	( He does have a hat!)
TBG is disconnected.
TBG is disconnected.
	Lauren: 	(And a bad connection?)
	Mark: 	"Oh ho! Hello there!" He smiles before looking at the three, "Well, no, not quite 'free' but it's more a ferry than a cruise ship these days. The fee is fairly low. 100¥ for a single trip."
TBG has connected.
* Lauren counts up some numbers in her head. "Hrm..."
TBG: 	(he does not)
* Taillow manages to stays on and maintain his balance with a few wing flaps and tail shifts.
Mike: 	(*debates happening off-screen >.>)
	Narrator: 	I noticed as much. No worries.
	Theo: 	Seems affordable.
	Lauren: 	"Mmhm. But... I might need a li'l help with that after we hit th' Mart. I wanna be a bit more prepared next time."
	Tobi: 	-manages to peel herself away from the action- What? What's affordable?
	Theo: 	Tickets.
	Theo: 	Ta the Island of Cinnibar, I believe.
	Lauren: 	"Yep! Now, I ain't never been, and-" *holds up Pokedex* "-this ain't been there either, but more importantly -" *grins, pats Pokeballs on belt* "- THESE ain't been there yet either."
	Tobi: 	Ah! Sure? How much? -spots Ace- Get down here! You should be polite to strangers!
* Taillow flaps over, head hung low.
	Mark: 	"Haha, he ain't hurtin' no one. No harm done."
	Mark: 	"Whelp, you three seem like you're on your way, so don't let me keep ya. G'luck on your journey!"
* Lauren puts Lime back on her shoulders, and then waves to Mark as he walks off.
	Lauren: 	"...So. Pokemart, then see if'n we can hitch a ride on that ship?"
* Taillow waves, Ace lifts a wing.
	Tobi: 	(whoops)
	Theo: 	Seems like a good plan.
	Tobi: 	(Arg...technology, why-so-complicate O~O)
	Tobi: 	So how much?
	Lauren: 	"Uh... He said 100 per ticket, right?" *keeps heading towards the Mart*
* Lauren will open the door, if it's not one of those automatic ones.
	Narrator: 	The door opens automatically as you approach it, allowing you view into the Mart. The inside is full of items all around of various kinds for Trainers, Pokémon and the common man.
	Shopkeeper: 	"Welcome, welcome to PokéMart Campell!"
	Shopkeeper: 	Campbell*
* Lauren nods, and starts browsing the isles - she has a very specific set of things in mind to buy, and heads right for... the hardware aisle?
	Theo: 	"I don't suppose ya carry Pocket knives, do ya?"
	Shopkeeper: 	"If you mean a Switchblade, yes."
	Tobi: 	I need handcuffs, fifty feet of rope, and a handgun! -grin- Just kidding.
	Tobi: 	Do you happen to have some Pokemon food?
	Shopkeeper: 	"Ah, we're out of Firearms and S&M equipment."
* Lauren looks up over the edge of the aisle. "I'm gettin' rope, don't you worry! Though, uh... handcuffs?"
	Shopkeeper: 	"But we have rope and food."
	Tobi: 	Oh? Do you get asked that often?
	Theo: 	I'm looking fer a small knife fer use in general utility. What would be th' price on somethin' like that?
	Shopkeeper: 	"Pistols and Handcuffs? No often but it's not the strangest thing."
	Shopkeeper: 	"Well, I do have a Machete."
	Tobi: 	*mutters* I knew that professor must be a pervert...
	Shopkeeper: 	"I have that and a Switchblade as my only availability at the moment. Our stock changes daily."
	Theo: 	What's the going price on tha' switchblade?
	Lauren: 	"Lesse... Rope, check. Tool box, check. Aaand some nails an' bolts an' screws..." *picks up package* "Check!"
	Shopkeeper: 	"Either are 250¥."
	Theo: 	Hmm... looks like ah'll need ta do some odd jobs around town before I can get one.. thanks anyways, though.
	Shopkeeper: 	"I'll always be here, no worries."
	Shopkeeper: 	"You ready there miss? You got quite the gear."
	Lauren: 	"Ayep! Annd..." *takes some Eat-n-Go meals and some Field Rations off a shelf* "These. That should be enough prep."
	Lauren: 	"Ain't gettin' caught unawares again, thank you."
	Shopkeeper: 	"Alright miss. That'll be -X- ¥ amount."
* Tobi picks out a flashlight, some pen and paper, a sleeping bag...counts her money.
	Tobi: 	Hmm...guess I'll get the food next time. Do you have any Potions and Pokeballs?
* Lauren pays up - she'd already totaled it up as she'd gone down the aisles, and it's juuuuuuust enough.
	Lauren: 	"No worries on th' food, this should be enough for a day or two at least."
	Theo: 	Ah'm not worried either. All ah need is ta find some wild... "ingredients".
	Tobi: 	I'll all for free and hopefully easy to catch.
	Shopkeeper: 	"The Pokémon in town are usually peaceful so try to avoid killing them. We're like to keep the area without hostile Pokémon. But the routes or caves are perfect for hunting."
	Shopkeeper: 	"If you're looking for work I could use some pelts."
	Theo: 	Well, Lime did make it easy fer me ta make a fishin' rod, so we should be fine.
	Tobi: 	I meant berries.
	Lime: 	"pie!" *perks up at mention of his name*
	Lauren: 	"Whelp... I'm set. Should be good for any emergency we come up against that *I* can think of... though, I guess there're lots that I can't."
	Lauren: 	"Anyhow. Uh, that's gonna clean me out. Can one of y'all, uhm... spot me for the ticket?"
* Tobi pays for purchase.
	Tobi: 	I think I'm good too.
* Shopkeeper accepts payment.
	Lauren: 	*puts her new thing in her backpack - heaviest stuff at the bottom*
	Tobi: 	Got to catch a Pokemon that grows human food.
	Shopkeeper: 	"Tropius grows Bananas."
	Tobi: 	(Is this info I would know?)
	Tobi: 	(I mean from my abilities)
	Narrator: 	As a Researcher, yes.
* Lauren will let anyone else listen about the pelt-hunting possibility, but she's more interested in hopping onto that ferry, really.
	Theo: 	Well, if y'all are packed, shall we head on out?
	Lauren: 	(But really, if we're good to go and not taking that pa-)
	Lauren: 	"Ayep!" *zips bag, puts Lime back on shoulder*
* Lauren heads out of the PokeMart, backpack and Pokemon both hefted.
	Tobi: 	-slings back over shoulder- Thanks -waves to the shopkeeper- By the way, what's your name?
* Elekid hops back in forth.
	Kevin: 	"Kevin. Kevin Campbell."
	Tobi: 	I'm Tobi. If we're in town, we'll be sure to drop by and say hi! Again, thanks! Have a good day. -heads out-
* Lauren smiles. "You're a real Miss Manners, ain'tcha, Tobi?"
	Tobi: 	We spent half a day not knowing each others names, I'm making up for it. -smiles back-
* Lauren starts heading further south, towards the docks - and sees the Elekid on the way.
	Lauren: 	"Lotsa Pokemon out an' about!" *whips out Pokedex again for a scan*
	Tobi: 	Oh, great...another electric one. -recites the Pokedex entry word for word-
	Pokedex: 	"Elekid, the Electric Pokémon. Electric type. Spinning its arms around to generate electricity makes the area between its horns shine light blue."
* Lauren looks down at the Pokedex, and then back to Tobi. "...That. Is impressive." *snaps shut*
	Tobi: 	Always look up the dangerous ones first. -hugs Ace-
* Elekid ceases it's hopping when it finally takes notice of Humans.
* Elekid gives gives both Lauren and Tobi the once over.
* Elekid returns to hopping back and forth.
	Lauren: 	"...Does it need ta... go?"
	Tobi: 	If it wasn't round and yellow, I would have thought it was a kid.
	Tobi: 	Sure, bring it on...-slightly shaky voice-
	Tobi: 	What's that?
	Tobi: 	Whoa! A Porygon!
	Lauren: 	"Man, all KINDS out here!" *is easily distracted by Pokemon, and brings out her 'dex again.
	Tobi: 	*Polygon*
	Pokedex: 	"Porygon, the Virtual Pokémon. Normal type. A man-made Pokémon created using advanced scientific means. It can move freely in cyberspace."
	Tobi: 	(Using my ability
* Elekid took notice that the Humans were no longer paying it any attention and went to see what all the fuss was about.
	Tobi: 	Frantic research)
* Lauren snaps it shut again, and then sees the Elekid coming over. She tries to keep an eye on the two - see if they start anything.
	Tobi: 	« 1d20+2+2 = 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 »
	Narrator: 	Unfortunately, you're not quite sure what level that Porygon is.
	Elekid: 	"Baruuum. Babababarra."
* Elekid dismissively waves at the Porygon
	Tobi: 	-scratches head- Hmm...
	Porygon: 	"Oooiiiiioooo...."
	Tobi: 	NO WAIT!
* Porygon leaves to the south.
	Elekid: 	"Barra."
* Ace flies over and looks back at Tobi.
* Elekid poses for the Humans before hopping back and forth again, blue sparks of electricity appearing between it's horns.
* Lauren kneels down. "You just a big ol' attention hound, hunh?"
	Lauren: 	"Don't like other Pokemon drawin' the, uh, spotlight?"
* Elekid places it's hands on its hips and smirks.
* Ace flies back over when no other commands were given.
* Tobi smiles weakly.
	Tobi: 	Hi?
	Lauren: 	*nod* "There ya go. See, this guy seems friendly enough. Right, pal?"
	Lauren: 	"So... what are you up to out here? You look like you're dancin' ta me."
	Tobi: 	Where's our "chaperone?"
	Tobi: 	I certainly don't have an instrument...
* Lauren looks around, and shrugs. "Hopefully, makin' sure the boat don't leave without us..."
	Tobi: 	-pulls out flashlight and flips it on and off-
* Elekid crosses its arms and nods to the Humans.
	Tobi: 	Gosh, I wish I spoke Pokemon.
* Elekid makes a 'bring it on' motion to all three of you.
	Elekid: 	"Barraa? Barra barro?"
* Elekid pauses for a moment before making a beckoning motion to all three of you.
* Lauren stands up. "You wanna fight? You sure? I mean... there's three of us. Or are you lookin' for a one-on-one?"
	Lauren: 	"...Okay, I'm curious."
	Elekid: 	"RRRRRRRRAAABBOO!!"
TBG is disconnected.
	Tobi: 	Er...
* Elekid crosses its arms and stands firm.
	Lauren: 	"...Ahh. So you two are friends?"
	Tobi: 	Oh! Hey look, Mincinno and Porygon?
TBG has connected.
	Tobi: 	(gosh I can't spell)
	Lauren: 	"...Waaait. Are y'all, like, already a team together?"
	Narrator: 	You spelled it right.
	Elekid: 	"Hmph."
* Elekid made the 'bring it on' motion again.
* Minccino hid its face behind it's fluffy tail and a cheesy grin.
	Tobi: 	Alright, let's party!
TBG: 	Hmm... a match against wild Pokemon? Could be fun.
* Ace seems cautious but ready.
	Theo: 	^what he said
	Lauren: 	(Hmm. I may not be a Researcher, but can I give them a once-over and see if they look battle-scarred or anything? I wanna see if they're trying to set us up here.)
	Lauren: 	(Because otherwise this seems like far too good a thing to be true.)
	Lauren: 	(Though if it is, I won't complain~)
	Narrator: 	Sure. Give me a perception roll.
	Lauren: 	« d20+0 = 14 + 0 = 14 »
* Lauren looks the wild Pokemon over before agreeing to this!
	Narrator: 	The Minccino and Porygon look to be unharmed in any way. The Elekid seems to have some bruises left from past battles but otherwise looks in top shape.
	Lauren: 	"Hm. Alright... Whadda y'all say?" *turning to her fellow humans* "They wanna fight, and I don't see any reason to not take 'em up on it. We got time before the boat goes, right?"
	Old Man: 	"Mary! Some Trainers are trying to catch that Elekid!"
* Lauren looks around wildly. What in the who where?
	Mary: 	"Oh? Hold yer horses, I'mma comin' tah watch."
	Tobi: 	-looks around-
	Tobi: 	Watch?
	Old Man: 	"Hopefully they'll do better 'an that kid with the Butterfree."
	Old Man: 	"Good luck out there!"
	Old Man: 	"Watch out for that Minccino! She's a tricky one!"
	Lauren: 	*grin* "Oh man... Well, now we GOTTA do good."
	Theo: 	Seems these fellas have a followin'. Shall we earn ourselves some fans?
	Tobi: 	She? -tries to remember if Minccino has attract-
	Narrator: 	Call out the speeds of your Pokémon when you choose them.
	Tobi: 	(Ace is 11)
	Lauren: 	(One more question: Would I have time to call out my new Jolteon and spray it with a Potion? Since there's no Pokemon Center around...)
	Narrator: 	You would, yes.
	Lauren: 	(Okay.)
	Tobi: 	(Do we have to knock 2 unconscious before we can capture 1?)
	Theo: 	(Snout is SPD 3)
	Lass: 	"Mary! Clefairy was knocked out!"
	Narrator: 	You don't have to knock anything out to capture them.
	Lauren: 	"...Lime, I want you to stay back on this one. I think we bring in our newest friend."
	Mary: 	"How'd you let that boy get the best of you?"
	Theo: 	Alright, Snout. Let's get goinG!
* Ace is subconsciously avoiding Jolteon
* Snout snorts
	Mary: 	"Go on and get in the house. Take care o' 'er."
* Lauren releases the Jolteon, and reaches for a Potion bottle. "Okay, now... I know we got off on a bad foot. But lemme put it this way - I could use yer help, and so could my friends. There's a nice healin' Potion and a good bite ta eat in it for ya if yer interested."
	Tobi: 	Let's go Ace, you can do it!
* Koolie sits, looks Lauren over, thinks it over... and (barring GM telling me elsewise), nods.
	Koolie: 	« 2d12+10 = 13 + 10 = 23 » Potion spritz!
	Koolie: 	(SPD 17)
	Koolie: 	Koolie is healed and gains 20 hit points.
Lauren has received initiative.
	Koolie: 	* Looking much better than before, the Jolteon spins to attention, fur bristling - even if they lower just a bi, for just a moment.
	Bug-Catcher: 	"Dude!!"
	Bug-Catcher: 	"You guys are gonna get wrecked!!"
	Old Man: 	"Why not give 'em some pointers?"
	Bug-Catcher: 	"Uh, sure."
	Bug-Catcher: 	"The Minccino. Don't get hit buy it."
	Lauren: 	"Okay, Koolie - we're gonna be good friends. Especially wi-"
	Bug-Catcher: 	"It hits you in the weak points."
	Bug-Catcher: 	"Knocked out my Butterfree in one hit!"
	Tobi: 	Thanks...you hear that ace?
* Ace shakes it's tail feathers.
	Lauren: 	*grins* "Then we do the same. Koolie! Get Tobi's bird a Helping Hand!"
	Theo: 	Weak points? What sort of move would do that?
	Tobi: 	(I should know this)
	Koolie: 	* the Jolteon dashes over to the Tailow, stops, and waits for just a moment - then he raises his paw, in the universal symbol for "high five".
	Tobi: 	(let me check its skills)
	Bug-Catcher: 	"It used...Pound I think? Dunno, it just hit Butterfree in the worst places!"
	Tobi: 	Er...
	Koolie: 	Helping Hand! Tailow's next attack gets +d20 damage, IF it has a damage roll already.
	Narrator: 	Incorrect.

	Koolie: 	(At a guess?)
	Koolie: 	(Technician.)

	Lauren: 	(Do I have a clear line of sight on Minccino?)
	Narrator: 	Yes.
	Narrator: 	The sign doesn't block line of sight.
	Lauren: 	(Okay, wanted to make sure. I get nervous when I throw Pokeballs!)
	Lauren: 	"Okay - Koolie, duck!"
* Lauren lobs a Pokeball at the weakened Minccino!
	Lauren: 	« d20-6 = 20 - 6 = 14 » Ball to-hit. Kaorin, you wanna roll the d100+5-1 behind the scenes again? *closes eyes, doesn't look*

TBG is disconnected.

	Tobi: 	-watches as the ball shoots by- Whoa!
	Tobi: 	Good luck!
TBG has connected.
* Lime peeks out from under Lauren's hair, and chitters in anticipation of that "ding" that made her so happy last time.
	Pokeball: 	The ball lands on the ground with a thud. Shake. Shake.. Shake...
	Pokeball: 	Ka-Chuckt!
	Bug-Catcher: 	"No-WAY!"
	Lime: 	"Piiieee~!"

* Porygon whines with a machine-like sound as it's brutally pecked by Ace!
	Ace: 	« 1d20-6 = 1 - 6 = -5 » Tosses a ball in the general direction.
	Tobi: 	(arg...I'll get the impersonate right one of these days)
	Lauren: 	*sucks in air through her teeth* "...No, that ain't how you- aw well."
	Tobi: 	I've only read about this, sorry...
	Narrator: 	The PokéBall misses it's target and hits the lamp-post instead.
Elekid has received initiative.
	Lauren: 	"Well, next time, just aim... a lot more... to the left."
* Elekid knew better than to shock Jolteon. So, instead, it just quickly jump at it! « 1d20-2 = 17 - 2 = 15 » Physical
	Lauren: 	(Awww, man, was hoping he'd take that bait.)

	Narrator: 	« 1d100+5 = 32 + 5 = 37 »

	Theo: 	Tackle attack!
* Elekid watched the Snorunt carefully.

Lauren has received initiative.
* Snout passes out with a groan.
	Theo: 	Snout, no!
	Bug-Catcher: 	"Yeah, I guess it makes sense with that Elekid being the leader. It's not weak at all..."
* Ace chirps angrily.
* Lauren looks at Koolie again, and recalls him. (That's free, correct? Or is it any kind of action on my part?)
	Narrator: 	Yup, free.
	Lauren: 	(great.)
* Theo recalls Snout as well.
	Lauren: 	*looks at the Elekid across the battlefield.
* Elekid stands with its arms crossed. Proudly.
	Lauren: 	"Alright, you made yer point. You are one tough little cookie. But you ain't dumb, either."
	Lauren: 	"We caught yer friends, and I still have one other Pokemon left." *points to Lime on her shoulder*
	Lauren: 	"Plus, you got a couple'a sharp talons about to hit you from above, maybe. Or behind you, I'm not really sure."
* Elekid shrugs to both the Caterpie and Ace.
	Elekid: 	"Barroo."
	Lauren: 	"So. what say we call it, and you come with us? We're tough enough to beat your friends, and you know we're gonna take you down... even if it takes us a swing or two."
* Elekid leans down some and waves both of its hands at you in a 'come at me' motion.
* Elekid pauses for a moment at the thought.
	Lauren: 	"We got that tough after bein' Trainers for... what, ten minutes?"
	Lauren: 	"Anyone got a watch? Maybe fifteen."
	Narrator: 	Sounds like a Charisma roll.
	Lauren: 	(That's the plan!)
	Theo: 	(Brilliant!)
	Ace: 	(Love it)
	Lauren: 	« d20+0 = 8 + 0 = 8 » *closes eyes*
	Theo: 	(I like this plan)
	Elekid: 	« 1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13 »
	Elekid: 	« 1d2 = 1 »
* Elekid walks up to the three of you.
	Elekid: 	« 1d3 = 3 »
* Lauren is wary, but lets it approach.
* Elekid looks up to Tobi and pats her leg.
	Elekid: 	"Barro."
	Lauren: 	"...I think he likes you. Yer bird's definitely got some punch."
	Tobi: 	-smiles another less shaky grin- Would you like to join us?
	Elekid: 	"Barabara."
* Elekid nods and then points to Tobi.
	Tobi: 	-pulls out a Pokeball and holds it towards Elekid-
* Elekid dramatically pushes the ball's button before being swallowed up.
	Pokeball: 	The PokéBall gives a successful chime almost immediately.
	Tobi: 	(oh the drama...)
	Lauren: 	"Whew!"
	Tobi: 	Oh, man. -drops to her knees- THAT was intense.
	Bug-Catcher: 	"No waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"
	Lauren: 	"Yeah..." *wipes brow* "Gotta be honest. For a minute, I thought he was just gonna come up an' slug me."
	Old Man: 	"Impressive diplomacy child. That Elekid isn't someone easy to talk to. Quite proud that one is."
	Mary: 	"Well, I'll be glad with it gone to not pick fights with everyone."
	Lauren: 	*laughs* "Ayep! Happy to be of service - heck, all of us are."
	Old Man: 	"I'm Greg."
	Greg: 	"Your Pokémon took quite a beating there. Feel free to take a breather at our home if you get tired. You deserve it."
* Tobi manages to scramble to her feet, Pokeball in hand.
* Lauren nods. "Lauren. An-" she blinks. "Th-that... Is exactly what I was gonna ask about."
	Bug-Catcher: 	"I might have to challenge you guys one of these days."
	Lauren: 	"Lemme just gather all this up an we can take a breather!"
	Lauren: 	*picks up the Minccino's Pokeball*
* Tobi picks up the Pokeball that hit the lamp post and examines it.
	Pokeball: 	The ball seems to have a scuff and scratch on it form the collision but otherwise looks fine.
	Lauren: 	(re-usable then?)
	Theo: 	Much oblidged, sir. We could use the rest.
	Greg: 	"We'll be outside enjoying the sun so, when you're ready, just head inside."
	Tobi: 	I thought it'd be worse, got to practice my throws.
	Narrator: 	The ball is re-usable, yes.
	Tobi: 	-puts the pokeball away- It's probably unlucky...I'll try my best not to use it unless it's the last we've got.
	Lauren: 	*takes in a big breath, and exhales* "Hoooo... Okay. I say, we rest up for a bit, and let our Pokemon recover... an' our heart-rates. And then we hop on that ferry!" (Hoping we won't get left behind by it if we rest >.>)
	Narrator: 	You won't, depending on how long you rest.
	Tobi: 	Should probably get the ferry schedule so we know when it leaves.
	Tobi: 	Where's the lady, Mary was it? I thought someone mentioned she could heal Pokemon?
	Lauren: 	"Mmhm. I think they went thataway..."
	Bug-Catcher: 	"If you guys are looking to get on the ferry you could always heal there."
	Tobi: 	Where?
	Lauren: 	"Really? They got a... whatever those healin' things are on there?"
	Tobi: 	Ah, almost forgot introductions. I'm Tobi.
	Bug-Catcher: 	"They have Audino. I'm Justin Bates."
	Bug-Catcher: 	"It's a gimmick they use. It's a comfortable ride since the Audino usually use Heal Pulse often to help people relax."
	Lauren: 	"Oooh. That... actually sounds real nice."
	Tobi: 	Very nice.
	Theo: 	(back)
	Bug-Catcher: 	"I'm from Cinnabar. Got my Caterpie there and decided to take on the Gym Challenge. There's no Gym here but plenty of battles with the locals so I can train."
	Bug-Catcher: 	"Didn't want to take on Blaine with just one Pokémon. Especially a Caterpie."
	Lime: 	"Pie~ee!"
	Lauren: 	"Yeah, well, I don't blame ya. This Caterpie here's gonna be the best'a Butterfree... soon. But I ain't gonna let you get in over yer head yet."
	Lauren: 	"Justin, you said? Thanks - and, uh, thanks fer watchin' us." *scratches back of her head, just a tiny bit embarassed*
	Tobi: 	Thanks for the info Justin. Where do we buy tickets?
	Bug-Catcher: 	"From the Captain. He's usually waiting by the docks."
* Ace nudges his ball and goes back inside
Ace: 	(how'd you put him away?)
	Narrator: 	Deleted him. I'll copy him from your box later if need be.
	Narrator: 	I checked to see which was more updated first though.
	Tobi: 	the box is updated
	Lauren: 	(Updated Koolie in the box, too.)
	Lauren: 	(and I have Minccino recorded on my sheet)
	Lauren: 	(I'll put him on the web shortly, but prolly not tonight.)
Mike: 	(Shall we say we go for buying the tickets and taking an Audino-filled cruise?)
Mike: 	(Because that sounds super-convenient to me.)
Mike: 	(But either way, as long as we can get our Pokemon healed up... Koolie took a beating and Lime isn't at full health either.)
Nychii: 	(Yea sure, I'm all for it)
Mike: 	(Awesome~ And remind me to pay you back for my ticket.)
Nychii: 	(Sure, I'll make a note for future)
Mike: 	(Okay, I'm good to go. Too bad TBG's internet was going in and out tonight though.)
Nychii: 	(I don't know how I feel about having an electric in the family, Ace will get used to it)
Nychii: 	(yea...)
Mike: 	(Tell him to play with Koolie! They'll make a club with surge protectors and batteries, and no flying-types.)
Mike: 	(or ground-types >.>)
Nychii: 	(XD what a sight)
TBG: 	(could have gone better in that way yes)
	Narrator: 	Do you guys want to buy the tickets now and move to Cinnabar before the game ends?
	Tobi: 	I don't see why we shouldn't get our tickets and board now...?
	Tobi: 	It'd be rough going north without our buddies at full health.
	Lauren: 	"Ayep! A pampered trip south while our Pokemon all heal up... I don't see any reason not to get on it."
	Lauren: 	"...but I can't buy the tickets." *turns out pockets* "Flat broke, now."
	Tobi: 	-pulls out wallet- I'll buy 2...for the two of us -she points at herself and Lauren-
	Lauren: 	*grins* "Thanks."
	Lauren: 	"Maybe I'll have to talk a few more Pokemon into joinin' you!"
	Tobi: 	No worries, it'll even out in the future.
	Justin: 	"Whelp, the Captain's just south of here. You can see the dock from here."
	Tobi: 	Ha. ha. That was great negotiation skills. I'm not as good with that... -turns to Justin- Thanks~
* Lauren walks towards the docks, and then turns around. "You comin'?"
	Theo: 	Indeed. Let's set this adventure ta begin!
	Narrator: 	This seems to be the census here. So, I'll just...move you guys. >.>
	Captain: 	"Welcome to the Florence. You all interested in a ferry to Cinnabar?"
	Theo: 	"That we are."
	Lauren: 	"Ayep!"
	Tobi: 	Actually, yes! My name's Tobi and these are my friends...-feel free to introduce yourselves-
	Captain: 	"Tickets are 100¥ each."
	Theo: 	"This should meet your needs."
	Captain: 	"I'm Captain Dawson."
* Theo hands over payment
	Tobi: 	-hands him 200- This is for the two of us -points to Lauren and herself-
* Lauren nods respectfully.
	Theo: 	Theo RIchardson, at your service.
	Lauren: 	"I'm Lauren... Uh, how long is the trip to Cinnabar?"
	Captain: 	"Aye, 300 ¥ is enough. Welcome aboard! You'll find a couple Audino that'll guide you to the cabins but feel free to roam around."
	Captain: 	"It's not a long trip at all. Maybe 2-3 hours or so."
	Tobi: 	Gosh, this is so exciting...I've only read about ferries...and boats...and ships
* Audino waves from the deck.
	Lauren: 	"Y'know what? Me too."
	Lauren: 	"Ooh!" *snaps open Pokedex, tries to get a reading... And on the two bird-looking Pokemon in the water, if she can.* "...Y'know, I dunno what the range on this thing is... Hm."
	Theo: 	"Hasn't been long for me. I came in by boat from my home in the Orre Region."
Tobi: 	Wow...that sounds far away...
	Pokedex: 	"Ducklett, the Water Bird Pokémon. Water and Flying type. They are better at swimming than flying, and they happily eat their favorite food, peat moss, as they dive underwater."
	Theo: 	"It's quite far from here. A desert region where wild Pokemon aren't too commonly found."
	Pokedex: 	"Farfetch'd, the Wild Duck Pokémon. Normal and Flying type. If anyone tries to disturb where the essential plant sticks grow, it uses its own stick to thwart them."
	Pokedex: 	"Tympole, the Tadpole Pokémon. Water type. By vibrating its cheeks, it emits sound waves imperceptible to humans and warns others of danger."
	Lauren: 	"Oooh, didn't even see that one there. I guess its range is pretty dang good..."
Tobi: 	Would love to visit it sometime!
	Narrator: 	I'm going to assume you all are boarding?
	Lauren: 	(Any chance on a reading for the Audino? Or no? And then I'm ready to hop on board, yes.)
	Narrator: 	« 1d100 = 53 »
	Tobi: 	Yes, oh yea, you know duckletts use the water as a divergence to get away?
	Pokedex: 	"Audino, the Hearing Pokémon. Normal type. Using the feelers on its ears, it can tell how someone is feeling or when an egg might hatch."
	Theo: 	"Maybe someday you should come on by my restaurant. I run it in Gateon Port, so it's right where you would arrive.
	Tobi: 	You're a cook?
	Tobi: 	-shock and awe can clearly be heard in her voice-
	Narrator: 	Whelp, if you want, we can move the onto the ferry and forward the clock. The sail from here to Cinnabar will be mighty eventless.
	Tobi: 	-followed by a bit of admiration-
	Tobi: 	(okay)
	Theo: 	"Of sorts. I took it up as a hobby at first after- well, that's another story. Eventually, I was able to turn it into a buisness."
	Lauren: 	(Yeah, I'm ready.)
	Theo: 	(works for me)
* Lauren snaps her Pokedex closed. "Best techno-gizmo ever. 'Cept for Pokeballs."
	Narrator: 	Time forwarded to: 12:04 P.M.
Tobi: 	You know, the funny thing is, I began this trip as a way to try new foods...it's turning out much bigger than that but it did have humble beginnings.
Theo: 	"Funny how things work out... I'll tell you what. You find me some ingredients, and I'll cook up somethin' nice for ya."
Tobi: 	You mean it? I'll try my best. -discusses ingredients with Theo-
Mike: 	(Personally, I'm ready to go to bed and leave Cinnabar for next week.)
Tobi: 	(yea)
Tobi: 	(well, we're here...we'll just continue next week)
Narrator: 	I'm all for ending it here.
Mike: 	(That's my thought~ Uh, will we have a full heal for next time? Or just tell us later what HP our Pokemon should be at?)
Theo: 	(if that's the consensus)
Narrator: 	Saving!
Mike: 	(...I mean, it's midnight and I *do* have to be conscious for work tomorrow. Probably. >.>)
Narrator: 	Alright. ^-^ Saving and uploading the log.
Narrator: 	./end
Theo: 	Where are you uploading those, btw?
Tobi: 	(saved)
