Aye that's the half of it. the other half is i'm really not sure what I want to write between Dawkin and his new friend and getting an interaction going with your character, sorry about that.
You just caught a new Pokemon right? Why not heal it up, then look for a trainer to test it out on, running into Amelia in the process?
[@All] I'll be occupied to roughly after new-year. Make that 2nd to 4th of January. That time forward, updates will come as scheduled, barring considerable complications.
@Eklispe Well, that's certainly one way to engage in conversation. XD Nicely posted. Yeah, that'll do. I'm also amused by using Rare Candies to make Pokémon happy is certainly a strategy, just be careful with making them expect Rare Candies as treats. Rare Candies are, after all, rare. XD
@Joshua Tamashii And nicely posted in turn. Yupp, that's all completely acceptable.
Yeah, you two can keep talking if you wish, now. Heh.
@Pikmin Eye There you go. Feel free to decide what you do from here. Also, I’m amused by my tale as to what happened here and it’s rather inconsequential to any plot as a whole, so I’m going to share it, if you’d like to read.
So, guy has to travel the Vast Underground. Because it can be dangerous with all the violent Durants, he reluctantly takes with him a Trubbish with the stench ability, keeping the Durants away. However, the guy becomes tired and the time grows late, meaning he decides to set up camp and sleep. However, there’s no way he’ll sleep with Trubbish’s horrible scent around. So he returns Trubbish to the ball, and Trubbish not being part of his regular team he places the Pokéball in the bag rather than on his belt. To nobody’s great surprise, after removing Trubbish’s scent the camp is attacked by Durants in his sleep. Panicked, he leaves everything behind and flees. Trubbish is left behind. Yupp.
@Rune_Alchemist I did wonder a bit what I’d do with you now, but this should make enough sense. Now, then. You can probably do quick-training if you wish, heh. Then it would be the same as quick-battling, you tell me the tactics you’re going to be using, I then tell what happen and perhaps pause if something unexpected happens. You can do several at the same time if you wish.
@Pirouette … Sorry, I specifically went and checked how much HP this Pikachu would have, and it was under 40. XD
@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii And you two can keep talking. Eklispe, I think it’s your turn? You can keep talking without my input.
Edit: Just in case, I'd like to note that the note about Amelia being cold is more like a reminder "this should be very uncomfortable", but you can still type that she just shrugs it off if you feel like it, hah.
@Eklispe Yupp. Checking funds to show you have a Pokédex is clever. And, heh, Pokédex keeping track of your money. Suppose that's how it has to work? XD Nicely posted.
@Pikmin Eye Alright, nicely posted. That's a plain good post. Heh, I see you added Trubbish to the list, there. But, yeah. Now, let me consider.
@Joshua Tamashii And, yupp, nicely posted. Yeah. Keep on the conversation, heh.
Sorry, got sick and lost will to interact with the world at large Alright, here you go. Updates will hopefully be more frequent than this, heh.
@Pikmin Eye ... Yupp. Now what? Also, are you travelling with Trubbish out or in his Pokéball? I'd assume he was in the Pokéball when you crossed the river, but after that? Because that Stench ability has impact on the wildlife. XD
@Rune_Alchemist So, I was a little confused as to what exactly to do here, but if you want to have this date of yours, then sure. I can provide all of the materials, including restaurant prices.
@Pirouette If you feel Gibs would react differently to Play Nice than I wrote, tell me and I can change that. If you simply wish to throw a Pokéball now, I can add the result to the current post. Otherwise, write and I shall respond.
@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii Added that for the town you'll eventually reach. You're free to continue conversing, triggering random events or whatever. Heh.
Not sure how much of that little date needs to actually be a thing, honestly. We could skim over it if you want, I don't personally care too much. Though, I was going to have Claire ask Anise where she could get a fighting type pokemon at.
@Rune_Alchemist That is fine. Write down the highlights you want to be part of it, I can write how the others act and react and we can continue from there. I don't particularly mind if you later go "hey, how about I asked the following question back then", either. This works fine.
Not rushing you or anything so feel free to pursue anything Platinum throws at you but to give a rough idea of Erika’s prospective timeline. She’s going to head over to the Frozen Cavern for a bit before heading to Rainrock. She’ll probably challenge a trainer potentially but I know in rainrock or just before she wants to challenge Joshua or Ewan (I forget which one right now x.x)
If Claire is close before that challenge, it can be a Twin battle too!
Anyway that’s what I’m thinking. Erika isn’t going to go through Mt. Strength until she meets up with Claire. Most likely, anyway.
@PlatinumSkink Who is Lucian and when did he catch a Venipede? I was reading through your post for me, and I think you put that hider in the wrong place. Unless this was intended in some way, but I can't see how.
Ah...is Rainrock where we were having them meetup? It's been awhile and my memory is a little fuzzy xD
That said, Claire's probably gonna be around Rainrock/Stillwood for awhile doing what she normally does. Especially if there's a badge or some contest-stuff involved, so I think there's enough there to keep her busy. A double battle sounds great, if it'd be doable. She'd want a rematch with Ewan/Joshua anyways, heh.
@PlatinumSkink Sounds good. Will have my post up in the usual 2-3 days then.
Oh yea... Stillwood is the one. Anyway, yea. Erika will be in the same territory so seems like it would be natural for them to meet up eventually especially considering they're both looking for a gym.
That particular computer (out of the five I use regularly depending on my location) has "paste" bound to pressing down the scroll-wheel on the mouse, so sometimes when I just casually scroll it randomly pastes whatever I copied last at random places I just clicked. When I was copying in my template for capture for the Pikachu Erika just caught, that must have gotten in, and of course I don't spell-check others already done part when I was just editing that into Erika's part. I should look into fixing that.
Anyways. Nicely posted. I felt like posting. There you go.
@Joshua Tamashii I felt like making life easy for you, here you go. Nicely posted.
