<Tom> Okay Saru
<Tom> Today is tuesday
<Dynasty> (Definitely not as good as Thor's Day)
 Saru is up early as usual and gets ready to go catching.
<Saru> (Tiwes Day, the God of War's day. aint too shabby)
* Happymancer is now known as Sam
* Gorbash is now known as Teresa
<Tom> You had to do a bit of exercizing today as well as taking care of a little business
<Tom> so it's sort of late in the morning
<Tom> Make a cha check to find out a good spot?
<Saru> 1d20+12
<DiceMaid-9001> Saru, 1d20+12: 29 [1d20=17]
<Tom> You hear that apparently the 4100 territory was adjacent to a dead zone near the north
<Tom> containing powerful pokemon
<Saru> "That's perfect!"
 Saru heads there immediately.
 Saru is carrying the bandito sword now.
<Tom> (Are you bringing pokeballs? Do you plan to catch things, or just looking solely for companion)
<Saru> (bringing pokeballs as well, just in case)
<Tom> kk
<Kaingaskhan> (Not keeping the honchkrow?)
<Saru> (probably not, doesnt really fill a hole in the team and tbh the moveset is rather meh)
<Tom> Very well then
<Tom> You're at the entrance to the dead zone
<Tom> looks like a lot of things are pretty destroyed
<Saru> "Hm, looks promising."
 Saru looks around for a high spot to climb up on to get the lay of the land.
<Tom> you climb up. Perception check?
<Saru> 1d20-2
<DiceMaid-9001> Saru, 1d20-2: 1 [1d20=3]

<Saru> 1d20+7
<DiceMaid-9001> Saru, 1d20+7: 25 [1d20=18]
<Tom> (I meant what's your dex mod but okay)
<Tom> You suddenly feel your Saru sense tingling
<Tom> and you dodge out of the way
<Tom> as a Donphan barrels its way past you after launching off a ramp
<Tom> it continues rolling on out of there
<Saru> "This place is the BEST."
<Tom> 1d20
<DiceMaid-9001> Tom, 1d20: 20 [1d20=20]
<Tom> Suddenly the unperceptive saru
<Tom> gets SMASHED by a much larger ball

<DiceMaid-9001> Tom, 1d4: 1 [1d4=1]
<Tom> 78 damage

<Saru> (br)
<Saru> (brb)
<Saru> "Agh!"
<Saru> "What kind of egg EXPLODES?"
<Tom> "Bliss."
<Tom> :I
 Saru decides he needs to call out someone, and picks Zhu.
<Tom> "Boar!"
<Tom> (Gonna try to fight it?)
<Saru> (not the Blissey)
<Saru> "Let's try to catch that big-nose guy, Zhu!"
<Tom> Well... that's kind of long gone
<Saru> (oh)
<Saru> (i dont really want a Blissey)
<Saru> (retcon then) "Come on, Zhu, let's see what else is out here."
<Tom> The blissey is smart enough to not mess with you now that zhu is around.
<Tom> roll more perception
<Saru> 1d20-2
<DiceMaid-9001> Saru, 1d20-2: 11 [1d20=13]

<Tom> "Boar?"
<Saru> "We're getting that bear, Zhu."
<Tom> "Emb?"
<Saru> "I'll get the slug thing outta the way while you take him on."
<Tom> Zhu nods.
 Saru pulls out the styler. "All right, let's do it! Forward, Immortals!"
<Tom> Dex and Speed?

<Sam> (BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE)
<Saru> "WHY AM I ON FIRE FROM WATER?"
 Saru decides to try and capture the ice bear.

<Tom> A big nidoking
<Tom> and a bunch of nidorinos are behind you
<Tom> They all look pretty strong...
<Tom> one more perception
 Saru pulls bahr and dragon out of the way and lets the nidos past.

<Tom> They don't seem to want to go past
<Tom> they seem to want to go through.
<Tom> like through you.
<Tom> with their horns.
<Tom> No homo.
<Saru> (hahaha)
<Tom> They all seem to be glaring at you. What do?
 Saru eyes the bahr. "You want to take a shot at these guys?"
<Tom> it stares. It's at one hp.
<Saru> (oh derp, i forgot that Zhu smacked him)
<Saru> "Oh, right. Uh, hm."
 Saru points behind the nidos. "LOOK OVER THERE!"
<Tom> (roll cha)

<Tom> and an enormous beam of light suddenly comes from that direction, hitting the ground and causing a massive explosion that blows them away
 Saru stands there for a second.
<Tom> 2d20+40
<DiceMaid-9001> Tom, 2d20+40: 72 [2d20=20,12]
<Tom> KABOOM
<Tom> They're all wiped out by it
<Tom> And from the direction of the explosion
<Tom> Someone's riding up on a large red motorcycle
<Tom> With a Samurott sliding up next to it on a path of ice.
<Tom> He skids to a halt next to you and takes off his helmet.
<Tom> "Getting yourself into trouble again, Mouse?"
 Saru stares.
<Tom> He has a blue jacket, black hair with yellow highlights, and light tan skin
<Tom> "I haven't seen you since Satoshi died."
<Saru> "You knew my brother...?"
<Tom> "Come on mouse."
 Saru struggles to place the man, trying to remember back to those days.
<Tom> "Well... I guess you were pretty young."
<Tom> (roll wisdom.)
<Saru> (hahahaha)
<Saru> 1d20-3
<DiceMaid-9001> Saru, 1d20-3: 11 [1d20=14]
<Saru> (if its not enough, ill chosen one it)
<Tom> it's on the tip of your tongue
<Tom> until you finally remember this guy's name is Ryusei.
<Tom> He used to be a member of the Grand Masters.
<Saru> "RYUSEI! I didn't realize you were still around!"
<Kaingaskhan> (Oh shit)
<Tom> "Good to see you're still hanging in there, Mouse."
<Saru> "You too, man. Where have you been since- since Satoshi died?"
<Saru> "I go by Saru now, by the way. But I'm fine with Mouse from you guys." He grins.
<Tom> "I moved to the center of ribbonwood. The heart."
<Saru> "The heart?"
<Tom> "Yeah. Made a new start there after Satoshi died."
<Tom> "Looks like you became a signer, didn't you?"
 Saru nods. "Just recently. I was knighted by Cobalion." Saru rubs the back of his neck, sort of embarassed to talk himself up to one of the Grand Masters.
<Tom> "Nice. I did too."
<Tom> He holds out his right arm, which has a blue and white gem on it.
<Tom> "Can you see it?"
<Saru> "Yeah!"
<Saru> "Who did you meet, then?"
<Tom> "Heh, couldn't tell from that attack then?"
 Saru shrugs. "I'm not the best at that kind of thing, it's more Mira's speed."
<Tom> "You've found new comrades, huh?"
 Saru nods. "I'm the leader of a new gang, the Ribbonwood Immortals."
<Tom> He just smiles, "You've come a long way."
<Tom> "Come on, I'll give you a lift."
<Tom> (Btw, he's 8 years your senior)
<Tom> (so 28 years old)
<Saru> "Sure thing."
<Tom> He presses a button and a sidecar unfolds from his bike.
<Tom> "Hop in."
 Saru does so, then remembers the bear.
<Tom> "He's your new companion, huh?"
<Saru> "Yeah. My last one was a flyer, so I didn't really think about it."
<Tom> "Give him a moment to nap. I'll help show him the ropes."
<Saru> "All right, thanks man."
<Tom> Beartic used Rest!
<Tom> Zzz
<Tom> Also
<Tom> His samurott seems bipedial
<Saru> (awesomott)
<Tom> It pokes the beartic to wake it up.
<Tom> "You ready?"
<Saru> "You're damn right I am."
<Tom> The beartic nods too
<Tom> Once you're in, he takes off. The samurott freezes a path in front of himself and starts sliding on it. The bear seems to be skating on it using his sharp claws on his feet to help him turn.
<Saru> (aha, found a name for the bahr)
<Tom> "I heard you defeated the Shi Ten Ou."
<Saru> "We did. It was a pretty tough fight, especially their leader."
<Saru> "That's where I met Cobalion. The leader had him under some sort of mind control or something."
<Tom> (He wasn't actually mind controlled, just guilt tripped)
<Saru> "Well, not exactly mind control. But in the end he remembered who he was supposed to be and helped us win."
<Tom> (The red eyes was a mistake on my part)
<Tom> (I thought his eyes were red)
<Saru> (is fine, this is how Saru would explain it either way)
<Tom> (:P)
<Tom> "Good to see you made it out okay. They're some pretty tough customers."
<Saru> (this is post execution time frame, yeah?)
<Tom> (yes)
<Saru> "Not anymore."
<Tom> "Guess not."
<Tom> "They did things no team should do."
<Tom> "They just attacked whenever they pleased, enslaved their own people..."
<Saru> "Things no human being should do."
<Tom> "We don't need people like them if we're going to bring things back to the way they were."
<Saru> "Yeah."
<Saru> "Wait, you're working on that too?"
<Tom> "... I never stopped."
 Saru nods. "Dumb question."
<Tom> "But I think you were probably getting at something else, weren't you."
<Saru> "Who are you working with to change things?"
<Tom> "My new comrades."
<Saru> "Who are they? We're always looking for allies to help fix the city!"
<Tom> He skids to a halt. Seems like you've reached the edge of your territory.
<Tom> "Team Satisfaction's leader... is right here."
<Saru> "That's awesome!"
<Tom> "Do you realize what that means?"
<Tom> "In this city, there are only four teams remaining."
<Tom> "C.A.P., Rocket, You, and us."
<Saru> "The Immortals, Satisfaction, CAP - and Rocket."
<Tom> "After you beat Rocket, you'll have to go against us."
<Tom> "We're between you and C.A.P."
<Saru> "You sure you want to play it that way?"
<Tom> "Saru... there's no way you can beat me right now."
<Tom> "You're ten years too early to fight at my level."
 Saru grins. "I always like it when someone tells me I've got no chance."
<Tom> "I'm pretty sure you could beat Rocket."
<Saru> "Count on it."
<Tom> "But as for me, you don't stand a chance."
<Tom> "We'll make you part of Team Satisfaction."
 Saru considers, looking Ryusei up and down.
<Tom> "After all... I finally completed this."
<Saru> "This?"
<Tom> He takes a ball off his belt and spins it on his finger.
<Tom> It's not a pokeball like you've ever seen before. You knew he was a pokeball designer, but this...
<Tom> It's a weird pokeball that looks like it has thousands of tiny words in a language you can't recognize on it.
 Saru leans in to look at it. "Amazing... what is it?"
<Tom> "Ten years of work."
<Tom> "The Contract Ball."
<Tom> "I found the ancient designs in seahaven with your brother. It's an incredibly difficult ball to create."
<Saru> "What's it do?"
<Tom> "Whatever you want it to."
<Tom> "It has a higher chance of capturing something than any other ball if you do it right."
<Tom> "However, you have to place restrictions on when you can use the pokemon."
<Tom> "As well as when you have to give it up."
<Saru> "You make a contract with it."
<Saru> "I guess that's why it'
<Tom> "Exactly."
<Saru> s called that."
<Tom> "But it's so powerful, it can even capture legendary pokemon."
<Saru> "Capture legendaries?"
<Tom> "Yeah."
<Saru> "Have you...?"
<Tom> "I told you, didn't I?"
<Tom> "You're nowhere near my level, Mouse."
<Saru> "Maybe I'll surprise you."
<Tom> "Interesting."
<Saru> "I've got my pride as a leader. If it was the other way around, would you just join the Immortals?"
<Tom> "Who knows."
<Tom> "I guess we'll see when the time comes."
<Tom> "Here."
<Tom> Ryusei tosses a bag full of something jingling at you.
 Saru catches it, and checks inside.
<Tom> There appears to be 7 keys
<Saru> "Keys?"
<Tom> "You'll see how it works later."
<Saru> "All right."
<Tom> "When we settle our score."
 Saru grins. "Right." He sticks his hand out. "May the best gang win."
<Tom> He smiles, "Right. But we're going to win."
<Tom> "Fair warning. My second in command, Jacques, has the other half of the pair."
<Saru> "I'm looking forward to seeing the look on your face after the Immortals emerge victorious again."
<Saru> "Thanks. Fair warning, my second-in-command is kind of a jerk."
<Tom> "So's mine."
<Saru> "Seems to be a job requirement, doesn't it?"
<Tom> "Nothing wrong with that. Someone who tells it like it is."
<Saru> "Keeps the leader honest."
<Tom> "You've really learned a lot. But next sunday I'm going to show you how big the world is, Mouse."
<Saru> "I'll be waiting to see it."
<Tom> He grins and drives off as his Samurott skates behind him.
<Tom> [/session?]
 Saru watches, then turns to the bear. "All right, Jigoro. You heard the man, we've got work to do."
<Saru> "I did mention your name is Jigoro, right?"
<Tom> "Bear."
