Kaorin Sakura: 	Mike has authority over his character in combat until then.
Mike: 	Okay. FYI, Kao, most of the breedings will be with Lilea - Lauren's prolly gonna stick with breeding with whoever she battles, just for keeping my own choices more narrowed. Also, Rob was waiting on the EXP from the fight?
Mike: 	And: Understood. Lemme try to find his sheet.
* Aishen shifts around uncomfortably.

	Aishen: 	oh nooo. no photoshop on desktop x_x
Nick: 	*will do better
Aishen: 	that's actually not too bad
Nick: 	^^;; All I really did was used the shape of it from a card and recolored it.. Nothing too fancy
Mike: 	I've updated my tokens.
	Aishen: 	did update my hp in 2 levels >_>
Mike: 	Yeah, Lauren's token was back at Lv. 9. >.>

Avara: 	looks like kaorin was attending to the battle castle stuff
	Aishen: 	...
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yup, sorry!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Aishen, you wanna pretty up the tournament roster?

	Lauren: 	*scoops up Whisper again and follows people back - towards the fork in the road!
* Felix looks deep in thought...
Lauren: (( ...I seem to have lost Lauren. ))
Lauren: (( I think my mouse dumped her in the wall. ))
Lauren: (( Kaorin, a little help? Uh. I think my Lauren token - and Whisper - got lost in the walls. ))
* Theo whistles an old tune he heard once... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XQ8TFX-KfE

Kaorin Sakura: (( Felix, let me give you some light. ))

Kaorin Sakura: (( There you go! ))
* Pix is the bestest light source ever.
	Felix: 	((From my shining personality? kekekeke))

	Aishen: 	"It's not going away..."
* Lauren peers down the hall.
	Lauren: 	"Well... Who's up for givin' this way a shot?"
	Felix: 	"Might as well..."
	Theo: 	"Another fork in the road..."
	Lauren: 	"Hm."
	Felix: 	"Another fork...."
	Lauren: 	"...Flip a coin?"
* Theo flips a coin. Heads, right, Tails Straight. 2
	Theo: 	"Forward!"
	Lauren: 	"We'll jus' hit this one on th' way back.
	Felix: 	"As you say fearless leader."
	Aishen: 	((Verin's in a wall somewhere hehe))
Kaorin Sakura: 	The coin came up HEADS.
* Theo chuckles to himself, remembering younger days.
Kaorin Sakura: (( I have this macro Mike made just for coin flips! ))
Lauren: (( Yep. ^_^ ))
Theo: (( that would have been nice to know. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( Well, now you do! ))
	Felix: 	"Not another one...."
Theo: (( activate coin flip macro! Heads is straight, tails is right! ))
	Aishen: 	((Yanma's in a wall somewhere))
Kaorin Sakura: 	The coin came up TAILS.
	Lauren: 	"Looks like more down th' way too."
* Theo flips a coin.
	Theo: 	"To the right!"
	Lauren: 	*nod*
Theo: (( this is the best method of navigation EVER ))
Lauren: (( No way we can get lost, I'm sure. ))
Theo: (( indeed. ))
	Felix: 	"This cave is certainly bigger than it looked."
	Lauren: 	"...Is it just me, or is anyone else thinkin' all these arms're gonna be spiral-like?"
* Aishen kicks some rocks as he walks.
	Theo: 	"You know, they say a spiral is like a man's soul..."
The rocks skid along the ground from Aishen's kick.
	Felix: 	"Seems that way."
	Aishen: 	"What do you mean?"
	Aishen: 	"My souls a circle?"
	Lauren: 	"Yeah, I've never heard that one either."
	Felix: 	"Are you just making these up?"
	Lauren: 	*shrug*
	Theo: 	"I'm not sure myself. It was on a tv show I liked when I was younger."
	Rattata 1: 	!
* Rattata 1 gives a huge toothy grin.
	Theo: 	"I named Squirtle after the lead character."
	Lauren: 	"Whoop. Rattata-alert."
	Felix: 	"Figures. I'm not sure you've changed since last we met..."
* Theo chuckles. "Nah. A lot has happened since then."
* Lauren waves to the Rattata. "Hey! Uh, we don't want no trouble. Jus' tryin' to pass through." Intuition for Mystic Senses: 16
Rattata 1: (( Against the group or just one? ))
	Verin : 	Verin loses 0 hit points.
	Rattata 1: 	The GM should be VERY NICE!
Lauren: (( Uhm. It'd be against the group, yeah. A general "Please don't attack us, we don't want to attack you.". ))
* Rattata 1 pauses for a moment and sniffs the air some. It signals to the other Rattata to let you pass.
* Aishen walks to the front of the group hunched forward a bit his tail coiled around him.
	Lauren: 	*smile* "Thank you!"
	Lauren: 	"I think they're lettin' us through, guys."
* Felix looks at Lauren. "I didn't know you were so good with Pokemon."
	Theo: 	"She's gotten a lot better since we started."
	Lauren: 	"Hehe. I jus', I dunno. Get them sometimes."
	Lauren: 	"They ain't so different from you or me."
	Lauren: 	"An', uh. Yeah. I learned ab it in that volcano."
	Theo: 	Aura Reader. To make sure this isn't a bluff.
	Lauren: 	*nods politely to the Rattata as she passes*
* Felix nods as he passes as well
* Theo watches warily... but passes by without a word.
* Aishen smacks his head against the cave wall.
	Lauren: 	"Okay. if this arm of the cave is like th' others, we might be comin' back through again soon. But then we'll be out of your hair. Thanks again, li'l buddies."
* Felix frowns. "Maybe I've misjudged you..."
* Lauren hears Aishen clunk into the wall. "Y'okay, Aishen?"
	Aishen: 	"Fine..."
* Aishen walks back to the center of the group of pokemon and reaches into his pack.
	Aishen: 	"You guys hungry?"
	Rattata 1: 	11
* Lauren crosses her arms, and watches Aishen.
Encounter avoided. Each Party Member may give 14 XP to 1 Pokémon.
* Rattata 1 nods.
Lauren: (( So noted; I'll figure out who to give it to in a bit. ))
	Aishen: 	"We're looking for some sort of blue stone. Any of you know if there is one in here?"
* Rattata 1 attempts to use memory!
* Aishen sits between the rattatta.
	Lauren: 	"Ooh, good thinkin'. It's, uh, a shell, actually."
	Rattata 1: 	7
	Rattata 1: 	"Yoh, it's down a wodden thingy."
Rattata 1: (( Pokespeech, oops. ))
* Locomokoal levels up and learns Crystal Storm!
	Rattata 1: 	("Gotta swim in da cave ta get to it!")
	Aishen: 	"Are we going the right direction?"
	Aishen: 	"Oh... I don't swim...."
	Rattata 1: 	("Nah, bro. Gotta go to da center. Dat leads tah da metal thingy.")
	Rattata 1: 	("It's cool bro, you can fly over it too! Da wodden thingy that leads deeper in is just pass the water. Gotta find da water to find da deeper caves ta find anythin' blue!")
	Aishen: 	"Thanks."
To everyone else, Rattata are just saying, "Chukachukachukachuuuchuchuchuchukakakkachukananahcuchuaka."
* Lauren listens, not understanding any of it - but she can catch the general tone, probably. They certainly sound friendly enough.
Perspective makes it funnier.
* Aishen pulls out 2 field rations. "This enough for all of you guys?"
* Felix looks deep in thought
Theo: (( I agree, oh voice in the sky. ))
* Rattata 1 looks it over and nods furiously. Like, rapid nodding. Like, it could be an attack.
	Lauren: 	"Hehe!" :3
* Aishen smiles. "Mind if we join you to eat and rest a bit."
Lauren: (( *thoroughly impressed with Aishen doing diplomacy.* ))
	Rattata 1: 	"Chuuaka. Chuchuchuka. Kuakakaka."
("Beggars can't be choosers, right? You provide food and company, we'll enjoy it.")
	Aishen: 	((his mood swings are amazing.))
	Theo: 	"...did he just get them to join us for lunch?"
* Aishen gives the rattata the food and sighs, leaning his head back against the wall. "yeah.. Sorry. I needed a break."
	Lauren: 	"No, that's okay. I, uh, can't really complain."
	Theo: 	"Well, I'm all for friendly relations." he cracks a grin. "Let's eat."
	Lauren: 	*nod* "Wanna have a sit, Whisper?"
	Rattata 3: 	"Chuu?~"
"You smell like...you're looking for a mate?" (This Rattata is female)
* Pix giggles at the comment.
	Theo: 	"?"
* Lauren sits down in the middle of the Rattata.
* Felix leans against the wall and closes his eyes.
* Aishen looks down at the Rattata and blushes. "I.. I'm fine.."
* Rattata 2 sniffs Lauren.
	Rattata 2: 	"Chuu!!CHUCHUCHUCHU!!"
("This one smells pretty! PRETTY! I DON'T LIKE HER PRETTY!!") (Rivalry)
	Lauren: 	*lets the Rattata sniff her* "Hey, th- uh."
	Lauren: 	"S'okay, s'okay. I ain't here to do anything to you."
	Aishen: 	"Umm.."
* Rattata 1 rolls his eyes.
	Theo: 	It's been a long time since it's been mentioned.. but as they eat, Theo pulls out his guitar.
* Aishen stares at Lauren, before leaning over and sniffing her.
* Lauren holds up her hands, in a show of 'not gonna hurt you'.
	Lauren: 	*blink*
	Rattata 1: 	"Chuka."
"Shut up."
	Rattata 1: 	()*
* Theo begins tweaking the strings...
Lauren: (( Focus, 10 ))
* Rattata 2 is intimidated. -1 Atk.
	Aishen: 	"Umm. Lauren... I think you shoud go over by Jeze..."
* Aishen looks over to Felix before waving Knight over to him.
* Rattata 2 whimpers and shuts up.
	Theo: 	Finishing his tuning, Theo gives his guitar a strum, causing a pleasant sound. "Any requests, anyone?"
	Lauren: 	"Oh. Okay..." *scoots over*
* Lauren sets Whisper down before scooting.
* Knight jumps off of Sonneli and walks over to Aishen. He pauses for a moment and nods.
	Lauren: 	"Requests, hunh? Got any classic rock in th' git-box?"
* Knight pats Felix's leg trying to get his attention.
	Lauren: 	"Somethin' slow, I mean."
	Rattata 1: 	"Chunchunchua."
("Play 'The Feast' bro. Love that song by pinkballz.")
* Felix opens an eye to Knight "Hmmm"
* Lauren pulls out a Field Ration and starts nibbling at it herself.
	Felix: 	((Channeling Knight))
	Theo: 	"Hmm... somethin' slow... classic rock..."
	Rattata: 	"Chukaknu."
("Jigglypuffs are awesome vocalists.")
	Aishen: 	"The Feast? Theo, you know a song called The Feast?"
* Knight holds out a field ration to Felix.
	Theo: 	"The Feast? Maybe. Let's see if it's the right one."
* Felix pats Knights head
	Knight: 	"Gaaar!"
	Lauren: 	"Heh. I wonder how these li'l guys know music so well? Maybe there're Jigglypuff or Kricketune in here."
* Knight nods and sits down beside Felix to keep him company.
Lauren: (( Remind me, Kao, how much rest it takes for a Pokemon to revive and begin healing? *opens PDF* ))
	Theo: 	Theo begins strumming his guitar. Next to him, Pix buzzes out a melody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VFKLBPdQbo&listL3B7687CFE36DDBD5
Theo: (( bah. I'll just post it in skype. ))
	Felix: 	((Nice!))
* Geryon burrows out of sight followed by Mammon.
	Theo: 	Partway through the song, Theo takes over and whistles a little solo.
Geryon whispers: Geryon and Mammon are gonna come back with mankey to eat >_>
Lauren: (( Looks like 1/16th their HP every half-hour. ))
You whisper to Aishen: Okay.
Lauren: (( How long will we take a break here? ))
Lauren: (( Also Mankey what. ))
* Geryon comes back followed by Mammon clutching the remains of a mankey.
Lauren: (( ah. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( We'll say 1 hour. ))
Lauren: (( Gotcha. ))
* Rattata 2 scurries off.
	Lauren: 	* After resting in his Pokeball for the hour, Reaper will be at 1 HP on the dot, then.
	Lauren: 	*leans over to look past the corner of the wall* "Wonder where he's off to..."
* Knight gives the ration to jeze and begins to help the others devour the mankey.
* Rattata 2 drops a technical machine at Lauren's feet.
	Theo: 	"Huh. That's rather nice of you."
* Knight nods at Felix between bites.
	Lauren: 	"Aww! Thank you."
* Lauren leans down to pat the Rattata.
	Rattata 2: 	"Hmph!"
("Hmpha!")
* Aishen has fallen asleep.
	Rattata 2: 	"Chunchukanchunkana."
("It's not like I got it specifically for you or anything.")
	Lauren: 	*listens to the adorable, unintelligible chatter of the Rattata*
	Lauren: 	:3
	Rattata 2: 	"Kananchuna. Nanchuuchuunana."
("It's just that Humans are the only ones who can use this.")
* Rattata 2 looks away, disinterested.
	Lauren: 	*stops patting the Rattata*
	Felix: 	"Noisy bunch."
	Sonneli: 	"You really should be more honest with yourself."
* Rattata 2 huffs at Felix and Sonneli before scurrying off elsewhere.
	Lauren: 	"Well... If you like machines like this, you could- Aw."
	Sonneli: 	"It's just embarassed."
	Lauren: 	*nod* "Yeah." *slowly gets up and stretches*
	Lauren: 	"I'm gonna go talk to him again. Seemed nice enough, at any rate."
	Lauren: 	*strolls over to the Rattata, TM in hand*
	Sonneli: 	"Her"
	Lauren: 	*looks over her shoulder* "Hah, whoops. Thanks!"
	Sonneli: 	"Theodore?"
	Lauren: 	*walks up to the Rattata* "Hey. I don't have much to repay you with here, but... If you want, you could come with us. I've got a big farm with lots of other Pokemon. My Pa loves machines too, you could poke around in his garage."
	Theo: 	"Anyways, I take it that the Azure Shell is not down this hallway."
Lauren: (( Intuition, 17 ))
	Theo: 	"Yes, Sonneli?"
* Rattata 2 turns briefly toward Lauren before turning away.
	Sonneli: 	"I can't seem to get a good analysis of Aishen. His mentality seems to be in disarray."
	Lauren: 	*cocks her head*
* Theo chuckles. "Yeah. Love'll do that."
	Rattata 2: 	"Chunakchukchukchukchu."
("Catch me if you want but it's not like I want to be caught by you or anything.")
	Sonneli: 	"Love?"
Theo: (( Tsundere Rattata... ))
	Felix: 	(((XDDD)))
	Rattata 2: 	"C-C-Chunknaanana."
("T-T-There's just too many other Rattata here! Y'know!")
	Sonneli: 	"He doesn't seem to show interest in any one here at any point in time, besides that short time after Lauren kissed him.
	Lauren: 	"...That sounds like a yes." *kneels down, and offers a Pokeball*
* Rattata 2 turns to face Lauren and looks at the ball before looking back at Lauren. She looks to be waiting expectantly.
	Theo: 	"It's complicated."
	Theo: 	"Love always is..."
	Lauren: 	*gently reaches towards the Rattata with the ball, and, if she offers no resistance...*
* Theo suddenly looks a little sad...
	Rattata 1: 	("Wibbly-wobbly-nonsense...stuff.")
	Rattata 1: 	("Yeah...that one got away from me.")
	Lauren: 	"Thanks for trustin' me. I think you'll like it with us." :3
* Rattata 2 doesn't resist capture.
	Sonneli: 	"Is something the matter?"
	Lauren: 	*tap*
	Theo: 	"Huh? Oh. No, just remembering... someone from the old days."
You whisper to Mike: LV16. Female. Rivalry*. Knows Super Fang. Jolly nature.
* Lauren holds the ball for a second before it disappears. "She did seem a li'l weird... But nice enough, in that pet-me-don't-pet-me way." *nods to herself* "Maybe I'll take you to the Battle Castle soon."
Lauren whispers: You misspelled "Tsundere nature".
You whisper to Mike: LOL
	Sonneli: 	"Oh. So you have experience in that which I can only speculate on."
	Theo: 	"Somethin' like that..."
Lauren whispers: Why does Rivalry have a star next to it? Is this Rattata, in fact, gay-tsundere? Which would be adorable.
* Lauren starts heading back.
You whisper to Mike: Oh, it's not an ability Rattata usually have.
	Sonneli: 	"Aishen seems confused about it, why do you not explain it to him?"
Lauren whispers: Ahhh. Okay. Wonder where these guys got it from then...
	Lauren: 	"Hunh? Confused about what?"
	Sonneli: 	"Love."
Rattata 2: (( Did anyone get the TM? ))
	Sonneli: 	((Lauren snatched it))
Lauren: (( I did. ))
Theo: (( I'm suprised Aishen hasn't reacted to this by now. ))
TM70 acquired.
Lauren: (( Not sure who to use it on. Tempted to use it on Stephan, maybe on this Rattata. We'll see. ))
* Aishen is asleep.
	Lauren: 	*face flushes red just a shade* "Uh-huh. What about love? I mean, it's a confusin' thing for... for pretty much everybody."
* Theo flashes a knowing smile.
* Felix scoffs "Quickest way to get hurt."
	Sonneli: 	"If it's confusing for every human then how do they know when they are afflicted?"
* Knight sits back rubbing his stomach.
	Lauren: 	"Uhm..." Lauren scrunches her face up, which turns another shade redder. "I-it's complicated. But you start carin' for a person more than anythin', I think. More an' yourself, or anybody or anythin' else."
* Geryon copies Knights actions exactly.
	Lauren: 	"When that happens, it's love."
	Theo: 	"...sounds like you and I have similar stories, Felix."
	Theo: 	"Though... a little different."
* Felix shrugs "Who knows."
	Lauren: 	"...S-so, are we ready to try an' find where that shell is?" She's obviously eager to get moving... Though maybe for more than one reason now.
	Felix: 	((*?))
* Lauren may be slightly uncomfortable talking about love. >.>
	Sonneli: 	"Well. Least he is in good hands since you all seem to know what's going on with him. I'll just continue to observe."
	Lauren: 	"...Yeah. That's a good plan."
	Lauren: 	"Speakin' of..."
* Lauren walks over to Aishen, kneels down, and gently nudges him to try and wake him up.
* Aishen 's tail flicks at Lauren as if trying to swat her away.
* Pix cackles, then slips above Aishen.
* Pix inhales...
* Whisper sees something bad about to happen and scurries over to Lauren.
* Lauren steps back.
	Pix: 	"(WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEEEE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!)" (Uproar)
	Lauren: 	"Gwah!" *covers ears*
* Theo braces himself
* Aishen eyes shoot open and his tail and wings smack against the wall supporting him.
	Aishen: 	"Oowwwwwwwwww!!!"
* Aishen glares at Pix.
* Lauren grits her teeth until the noise stops!
* Pix cackles. "(Welcome back to the world of the living, sleepyhead!)"
* Felix opens his eyes and grumbles
	Aishen: 	"Grrr.. .You don't have to yell.."
	Theo: 	"Sorry about that. Ghost types love being pranksters, and this is the first chance she's really had to prank anyone."
	Lauren: 	"Whaatt?" *looks up, stops gritting teeth*
* Aishen stands up.
	Pix: 	"(Hey, we needed to move on, and I got him up. Totally just doing my job!)"
	Aishen: 	"So anything blue is at the center, they said. By some woody things or something."
* Lauren doesn't understand the Rotom, but... Deep breath. Let the ringing die down. "Okay. To the center, then."
	Theo: 	"The center, huh? I don't suppose they mentioned which way that is?
* Aishen shrugs.
	Aishen: 	"Hey guys. Is it in this cave?"
* Aishen curls his tail back around himself.
	Rattata 1: 	("It's below this one. Not sure how deep below. The wodden thing takes you below, deeper into the cave. It's just beyond water.")
	Aishen: 	"Ok. It's below us. a wooden thing will take us down. There is also water down there. Said something about swimming to get to the center."
* Rattata 1 raises an eyebrow questioningly.
	Lauren: 	"That sounds like a lot more than we knew before."
	Theo: 	"Well, I brought Leviathan, so we should be okay."
	Rattata 1: 	"(Nah dude, you got it wrong. We ain't been down there. We don't know what's down there specifically, but blue things are down there. You have to cross water to get to the wodden thing.")
	Rattata 1: 	("And that thing takes you deeper.")
* Aishen smiles and nods at the rattata.
	Lauren: 	"Got directions?" *stretches*
	Aishen: 	"Ask them."
* Aishen yawns.
	Rattata 1: 	12
	Theo: 	"Well, if all else fails, we can just use our coin flip strategy."
	Lauren: 	"...I thought that's what- Mm."
* Aishen sighs and kicks some lose stones.
	Rattata 1: 	("East, north, west, north, continue north, continue north, east, continue east, south, east, south, east, north?")
Lauren: (( Those are certainly directions. Wow. ))
	Aishen: 	"North east
	Rattata: 	("Don't give them the wrong directions, dude.)"
	Rattata 1: 	"(Pretty sure that's right. Unless my nose is wrong.")
Lauren: (( *saves* ))
	Aishen: 	"Then lead us there. I'm not gonna remember all that."
* Theo pulls out a notebook and writes the directions as Aishen translates them.
	Aishen: 	((Aishen translates as North east.))
	Rattata 1: 	("Nah dude, we're not much into headin' in that direction. Weird things're down there. Things that eat us, dude. G'luck though!")
Theo: (( I swear, this notebook is by far my most used item- followed by soda pop. ))
	Lauren: 	"If we have th' directions, I think we can manage. C'mon!"
* Theo looks at his notes. "Starting with east."
	Sonneli: 	"East... North... West... North... North... North... East... East... South.. East.... South.. East... North."
	Sonneli: 	"Generally north east is correct."
* Theo nods. "Thank your for your help. And thanks again for sharing such a pleasant lunch with us."
The Rattata nod and gives a toothy grin again.
	Lauren: 	"Yeah! Y'all are good company... Once I know where t'sit and not sit."
Lauren: (( Shall we be on our way, then? ))
	Theo: 	"Alright Pix. You've got the light. Lead the way."
	Pix: 	"(Aye aye!)"
* Lauren waits a moment for folks to catch up. Doesn't wanna get too far ahead...
	Lauren: 	"East... Now north..."
	Theo: 	"Let's see... west, then north... that'll put us back in the hall 'o paths we saw earlier...
	Lauren: 	"Yep. Then we'll be makin' *progress*."
	Theo: 	"Continue north twice, then go east...."
	Lauren: 	"Now it's, uh... north an' north again, I think."
* Lauren leaves the Cranidos well-enough alone, thank you.
Theo: (( ooo. Throh. Sadly, I think I shall pass for now. ))
Lauren: (( Indeed. ))
	Theo: 	"Let's see... east?"
	Lauren: 	"Yep!"
	Lauren: 	"LOTS of east, I think. Gonna pass a tunnel, I bet."
* Lauren keeps walking, the comforting weight of a Bug-type on her shoulder. It's nearly second nature to her at this point.
	Theo: 	"...continue east..."
	Lauren: 	"One more, I think."
	Theo: 	"aaand south.
	Lauren: 	"Geeze, this cave is a LOT bigger on th' inside."
	Aishen: 	"I'll have to thank them next we meet."
	Theo: 	"and then east here..."
	Lauren: 	"Phew. Gettin' there..."
	Theo: 	"Hurry up! This old man is leaving you behind!"
	Lauren: 	*nod* "Y'did good with the Rattata, Aishen."
	Aishen: 	"You left your bike on the boat."
	Theo: 	"I'm not that sl-" Theo sighs.
* Felix remains silent as the group pushes deeper into the chasm
	Lauren: 	"Hehe. I can't help but think someone'd yell at us for ridin' a bike indoors."
	Aishen: 	"Who would do that?"
	Theo: 	"Hmm... says here that we need ta go south. Guess that must be further on."
	Lauren: 	*nod*
	Lauren: 	"Uhm... Well, my Pa, once."
	Lauren: 	"Little brothers decided it'd be a good idea to ride their bikes indoors."
	Lauren: 	"Since they got rained out on."
	Aishen: 	"Oh..."
	Lauren: 	"not their brightest moment."
* Theo chuckles thoughtfully to himself. "I would have liked to have kids..."
	Lauren: 	"Pff. I woulda liked to have some more time as an only child, sometimes."
	Lauren: 	"But I got Jared, Karl, now Ben... Lilea, too, she's near enough."
Theo: (( and everyone now stares at Lauren, the only non-only child in the group. ))
	Lauren: 	"Most of th' time it ain't bad."
	Theo: 	"...south, east... north?"
	Lauren: 	*shrug* "You get used t'it. Some days they're idiots. Some days they're yer best friends."
	Lauren: 	"Lotta days they're both."
	Theo: 	"I think that's our turn off."
Kaorin Sakura: 	25
	Lauren: 	"Yep! I see water!"
	Theo: 	"Ugh. Ludicolo again."
* Ludicolo 2 looks angrily at the people near their water.
	Theo: 	"I know which Pokemon I'm NOT sending out against them." Theo protectively holds one of his Poke Balls.
* Aishen picks up Theo and flies off the ground alittle.
	Lauren: 	"Well, these ones ain't trained..."
* Aishen flies out over the water with Theo.
* Lauren waves. "Hello! Any chance we could cross? We don't wanna fight, we jus' wanna explore." 22 Intuition to make them not hate us.
* Ludicolo 2 targets Aishen with Nature Power!
Ludicolo 2: (( Whoop, intuition. ))
	Ludicolo 2: 	The GM should be SOMEWHAT MEAN!
	Theo: 	"Whoa! Wait!"
Lauren: (( Whuh-oh. ))
	Aishen: 	"Sonnelli
Ludicolo 2: (( Nope, it don't care. ))
* Ludicolo 2 fires a spiraling rush of water at Aishen! 13 vs. Sp.Def Eva!
	Aishen: 	"Hit!"
* Remoraid appears from his ball
	Ludicolo 2: 	58 Water Special Damage!
* Aishen growls. (Immune)
	Ludicolo 2: 	O.O
Ludicolo 2: (( People got their correct Pokemon out for combat? ))
	Lauren: 	"Haha. Yes! Check out those shiny wings."
Ludicolo 2: (( Aishen is using Sonnelli? ))
	Theo: 	"Wait! Aishen, let me call out-" Theo braces himself for the splash.
Lauren: (( Hm, who to yuse... ))
	Aishen: 	((Yeah))
Ludicolo 2: (( Be sure to add your speeds in ))
	Theo: 	"L-leviathan!"
* Koolie throws out Koolie!
Koolie: (( derp. ))
Koolie: (( But yes, using Koolie. He can doggie-paddle. ))
Koolie: (( Also, Electric. ))
Koolie has received initiative.
	Ludicolo 2: 	New Encounter Starts: Initiative Sorted, Top of the Order, Round 1
Koolie: (( Thought. Can I throw Koolie out... to RIDE Leviathan? ))
	Aishen: 	((Put him on Gyarados back))
Theo: (( she is able to support him. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( Let me check. ))
Theo: (( speaking of which, she needs to be in the initiative. ))
Koolie: (( Leviathan, meaning, yeah. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( Added and sure, why not? ))
* Koolie appears atop Leviathan, and doesn't hesitate. He immediately attempts to Thundershock Ludicolo 2! 13 to hit v. SpDefEva!
	Aishen: 	((Sensing some ownage about to go down))
Theo: (( actually, this is a good combo, Aishen. You can keep Theo from falling into the water, and he can throw spears for damage. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( Hit! ))
	Koolie: 	32 Electric Special damage!
Theo: (( does this count as Theo being Mounted? ))
	Ludicolo 2: 	Ludicolo 2 loses 11 hit points.
Ludicolo 2: (( Counts as Aishen being mounted. ))
Remoraid has received initiative.
Lauren: (( ...Not sure how to feel about this. ))
	Aishen: 	((I'm mounted. Half movement.))
* Remoraid hobbles closer to the water as it looks like it's getting pumped
Ludicolo 2: (( Yeah, pretty sure you don't have the mountable feature. But you could get it. ))
Aishen has received initiative.
Theo: (( wait... Aishen is mounted on Theo- wait... Oh I think we have different ideas of what we mean. ))
	Aishen: 	((I thought I did. Oh well))
Ludicolo 2: (( Well, if you do have it, you don't take penalty. ))
Theo: (( basically, since I'm mounted, that means I can move on the same initiative as Aishen, yes? ))
	Aishen: 	((I'll check after I headbutt something.))
Ludicolo 2: (( Lemme check ))
	Theo: 	When mounted on a Pokémon, you may shift during your trainer turn using your Mount's speed capabilities instead of your own. During Pokémon turns, your Mount may use any unused movement to shift, and may make a Move Action as normal if you use your Command Action to instruct it.
* Aishen moves closer with Theo on his back his body growing in stature as he approaches the Ludicolo. (Bulk-up))
Theo: (( so I have to wait for spears. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( You act on your own turn. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( Yup ))
Theo: (( can we sort initiative so Leviathan goes on her turn? ))
Theo: (( thank you. ))
Lauren has received initiative.
Remoraid whispers: That was Focus Energy by the way

Sonneli has received initiative.
	Aishen: 	((I have it. Shifting element 2 gives a capability))
Ludicolo 2: (( Then no penalty! ))
Ludicolo 2: (( Theo should ride Aishen more often. ))
	Theo: 	"Let's see if I can capture one of these things. I bet a mariachi combo would go over well in contests."
	Aishen: 	((Heh... Dirty minded old man))
Theo: (( dirty minded players. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( Sonneli's turn. ))
Lauren: (( >.o ))
* Sonneli flies forward and just when he stops he lets out a horrid screeching sound like nails on a chalk board. 12 Burst 2 Friendly, Sonic
Theo: (( I feel I should point out that the old man hasn't had a single dirty thought since the campaign began. ))
* Ludicolo 2 holds its something's (maybe ears!). -2 def!
Leviathan has received initiative.
Theo: (( he's not that kinda guy. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( I believe you! ))
	Leviathan: 	Much more comfortable in the water than on land, Leviathan speeds across the water.
	Leviathan: 	"(Hold on tight, Sir Koolie.)"
* Leviathan uses her tail as a springboard and ascends into the heavens!
Pix has received initiative.
	Sonneli: 	((at 20 they get basic or adv. ability?))
	Sonneli: 	((Not in the book))
Leviathan: (( correct. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( basic or adv. ))
Ludicolo 2: (( It's terribly worded in the PDF ))
Ludicolo 2: (( it never mentions Advanced ))

Theo has received initiative.
	Sonneli: 	((Pressure: All foes within 3 meters are suppressed.))

	Theo: 	"A nice block... makes me want one even more, now!"
* Ludicolo swims south of Sonneli and breaths out bubbles at him! 16 vs. Sp.Def Eva!
Koolie: (( NOT BUBBLES ))
Theo: (( F***ING BUBBLES! ))
Koolie: (( Most unthreatening attack ever. Can still cause serious damage. Pokemon, ladies and gents. ))
Koolie: (( Hehe, Theo gets it. ))
Theo: (( Good ol' NC. ))
	Ludicolo: 	38 Water Special Damage!
Theo: (( ...does steel resist water? ))
Ludicolo: (( No ))
	Sonneli: 	Sonneli loses 19 hit points.
* Ludicolo 1 breaths out bubbles at him! 3 vs. Sp.Def Eva!
	Ludicolo 1: 	48 Water Special Damage!
Theo: (( wow. These are some scary bubbles. ))
	Sonneli: 	29

* Felix looks at Octogon and smiles "Go get him, buddy!"
Felix whispers: Channel and pass
Koolie has received initiative.
Koolie: (( One moment, wanna confirm a rule thing with Kao first. ))
Koolie whispers: Kao: If Leviathan Bounces this turn, Koolie will be carried up with her, correct? And while in the air, Koolie can still act, but won't be in range of anyone else in the battle, yes?
Ludicolo 2: (( Koolie is 20-meters up. ))
	Aishen: 	((You can hit anything within Gyarados range))
	Aishen: 	((Guess not))
You whisper to Mike: Yes.
Ludicolo 2: (( Gyarados is 20-meters up. ))
Koolie: (( But hasn't Bounced yet, correct? ))
Koolie: (( Wait, though 20 m... eh. Anyway. ))
Theo: (( as far as damage applying, no. Bounce has not resolved yet. ))
* Koolie gives Leviathan a Helping Hand, patting her on the back with his paw encouragingly.
Octogon has received initiative.
	Aishen: 	((O_O!))
	Aishen: 	((You should have summoned it in da water))
	Octogon: 	(( Can I hit Ludicolo2 at this angle?))
	Koolie: 	That's +1 to to-hit, and +5 to damage. I believe the extra damage is before defenses and SE.
Ludicolo 2: (( Yes ))
	Octogon: 	((with a range of 6?))
Ludicolo 2: (( Yes ))
Ludicolo 2: (( That's only 4-meters. ))
