Alright.

@Rune_Alchemist In the meantime, your post is ready. Here you go. Have fun with that. Ask me questions if... you need any clarification anywhere... haha. Or figure Claire wouldn't look. Because that could be.

@Dusksong Yupp. Nicely posted. Eryn's reactions are very understandable. Now, I can finish that post, in a bit. Nice. ... Was Axl's request to see ALL Jacques' Pokémon? I kinda translated into seeing one Pokémon, maybe I got that wrong. Heh.

@Rune_Alchemist Teh-heh. Beautiful post. It made me feel happy. Really, REALLY set the scene beautifully there. Quite a scene. Well posted. I'll see if I can write up a reply up to you alongside the rest of them, heh.

@PlatinumSkinkIt was indeed to see them all lol... At least, the ones that Jacques carries? But you can interpret it however you wish. I can adapt. Can't wait for the post!!

@Demon Shinobi@Old Amsterdam@Gardevoiran@Dusksong Alright, you four. You get to tell me outside the roleplay if you have any preferences for how you want to conduct this battle and with whom. I realize I didn't bring any of the happy rivals here, but heh, these are the ones that have gotten the least screen-time because those that were to encounter them left. So, here. These are basically the most competitive-minded of the rivals, minus perhaps Cathia, I realize. Haha. Anyways. How are you all feeling about this?

I had a lot in here that I wanted to include, hah. Tell me if I forgot something. Tell me if you interrupt somewhere dramatically in a fashion that changes the progression of the rest of the post. Yeah. Hah.

I didn't feel there was room to show ALL of Jacques' Pokémon here, hah. If you want to see the rest, you're going to have to ask him again slightly later. He'll be around.

@Rune_Alchemist And for you, hah.

So, uh, hi, yeah. Plot called, it wanted you to know it actually exists. Hahahahaha.

@Rune_Alchemist Yupp. That is a pretty amusing reaction. I'm not entirely sure recounting all that in detail was necessary, but heh, it works out. Yeah, nicely posted. I'll reply soon enough.

@Dusksong@Old Amsterdam@Gardevoiran Yupp. Nicely posted, all you who posted. Good, progressing posts that I have basically written the continuation for.

@Demon Shinobi The rest don't strictly need your posts anymore to continue, I realize, because you'll be in separate battles now. So, lesse, how was it I usually said this? I plan on posting in around 24 hours, or when you post. Yeah, that should do.

@Rune_Alchemist Here you go, a little continuation of that.

And for you others, the battles are on.

@Dusksong Here's an opponent. Have fun with that one.

@Old Amsterdam@Gardevoiran So, in my initial nine rivals I created, these two might just be the two I was taking the least seriously, and you've teamed them up, hahaha. Not to say they won't be serious eventually, but right now? Yeah, heh. I had a scene I wanted to play out with each of them, and because you had the two team up I had to include both of them like this. XD

@Demon Shinobi So, what will you do in this predicament? Heh.

@Joshua Tamashii Oh, hi. You posted too. Nicely posted. Teh-heh.

@Dusksong I take it you mean "Scratch", not "Tackle"? Otherwise, yupp! Nicely posted. ... The word of describing another person closest to a compliment in the entity of Oaken's vocabulary still sounded like an insult. XD

@Old Amsterdam@Gardevoiran Wooo. Strategy. Yeah, here's some basic examples of how to play Pokémon in a roleplay, haha. Nicely posted.

@Eklispe Yupp, time for me to get this desert ready, haha. Well, it's already pretty ready, I just need to arrange the key details that actually make it postable, heh.

@Rune_Alchemist Nicely posted. Though, heh, Uxie's reaction can be summed up as nodding, going "Uxie" in a decently okay tone, and then watching you quizzically, and that'd be the entity of my post to you. Perhaps the Meganium lying down over there for right now. Haha.

@Dusksong Yeah, purely statistically, this is going like this. How do you react to that?

@Old Amsterdam@Gardevoiran That went like this, heh. I did consider that Bubble is a multi-Pokémon affecting move, but Scraggy's a decent amount further back than #8, so I figured it'd be like this, yeah.

@Demon Shinobi Okay, so I'm going to reason that even the slowest Pokémon isn't THAT slow in the future, but I just looked over their stats to get an idea of how this interaction would go and saw their speed-stats, I just really wanted to write it like this. XD

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii And... here you go. Now off and do something, heh.

@Rune_Alchemist Oh, alright, you just edited that into there. Alright, then. Nicely posted. With all that done, you said you'd be heading for the Stillwood Village Gym, right? I went ahead and wrote a bunch about that, so go at it. If you think I went forward too quickly, maybe you had questions you wanted to ask the Gym Guy or something, then tell me and we can work it out, heh.

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii And here you go, a Pokémon encounter for Dawkin, a "the GM rolled the die to see what happened" for Amelia, heh. Nicely posted. I will note the Cacnea are not as numerous as Amelia noted, they're just common enough that you will see a couple on your journey through the desert, but yeah. Nicely posted enough.

Five days had gone since my last post, so I posted for those who had posted...

@Dusksong@Gardevoiran@Old Amsterdam@Demon Shinobi So, entire new group. How are you doing?

@PlatinumSkinkI will also note Amelia didn't send Driffloon out. She said she could but she didn't for the reasons that she stated. Still, this could be interesting.

@Joshua Tamashii Oh. You're right. In fact, I'm confused at how I got that impression. Whelp. I'm sorry about that, I could have read that a bit more carefully.

Well, if you want me to change it, tell me and I'll do so, or if you want to work with this then go ahead, hahaha.

@PlatinumSkink
I know G is waiting on me, and I've got half a post see, but I'm still having a creative block at the moment.

Pardon my slowness, one of my classes decided to suddenly turn the homework to an 11 so I'm rather preoccupied with that.

@Eklispe That's alright. Any update on when you think you're going to be able to post?

@Dusksong Heh. I must admit that the idea to wave the tail at the opponent was quite amusing, and I really had to reward it. That said, you're facing the most disagreeable rival here, so... let's see how you're going to proceed. You have one advantage here. How do you use it?

@Gardevoiran@Old Amsterdam Nicely posted. I will, though, need to occasionally note not all plans are going to go well, if I reason they won't. Also, sometimes I use things that aren't entirely part of the game. Like Barboach's Pokédex entry. ... Yeah, blinding a Pokémon with an internal radar-system is not gonna do you much good. XD

You're obviously free to argue I got something wrong if you feel so, in the meantime. What will you do now?

@Rune_Alchemist Nicely posted. Anyhow, here I'd like some player input before I move on. You can just say "yes/no" and that I should continue with the same strategies, in which case I could just edit in the rest of the battles. On the other hand, maybe you want to type out a post at this occasion. In that case, that's up to you. Teh-heh.

@PlatinumSkink
What if Barboach gets hit with a Supersonic? How blind would he be? I'd imagine being confused would screw with his internal radar.

@Gardevoiran Supersonic would affect it just like it'd affect any other creature that is affected by supersonic... though that's not really information you can use, now, is it? Have your trainers figure something! Heh.

@PlatinumSkink
Fair enough. Skylar's probably more focused on the Scraggy right now anyway.

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii There we go. Nicely posted, both of you. I did originally intend to post a bit quicker, but heh.

@Rune_Alchemist Yupp. Nicely posted. Now, then. Here you can tell me to simply post the rest of the introduction, or do something spontaneous if you so feel like. Heh.

@Dusksong Yupp. Nicely posted. I like it. Now, here's... this, heh. I don't think I got to properly show what reasons Kalmia had to not give Oaken a Pokédex last time, hah.

Sorry about making you retcon Joshua but but I'm interested in what the Cacena has to say :P
