Yea that makes sense to me and I'm good with it, personally. I figured we'd have to go back a little bit for Indy's battle at the very least, haha.

@Balthazar007

Did you want me to play as Jack for Indy's battle? I'm not sure if you had enough time during the day or not. I just figured I'd offer!

Maybe. I'll sleep on it. I have the next three days off work that I'll use specifically for my novel and this RP. Expect to hear from me tomorrow morning. I'm off to the land of dreams now. :)

Question... it doesn't matter to me necessarily how many pokemon they use but isnt 5 v 3 kinda like considered cheating? I know its like that in the games but in the show, its pretty explicit world wise that people should only fight with the same number of pokemon on either side, unless they say otherwise. Again, it's not that I mind losing, but rather 5 vs 3 just seems to not make that much sense to me? Idk if im making sense.

I'd like to be able to spin it where since neither of them specified, it ended up being a 5 on 3. But had someone specified and said it should be 3v3 or 2v2 or something, then it wouldn't seem like a disregard of rules, if that makes sense.

Hopefully I'm not being a problem xD

I cannot deny your logic. We'll go 3v3. Let me know when you want to battle.

Can we do tonight at around 11:00?

Also, ill start the battle off after @iKatamalicious post! I hope thats okay!

If you want, @iKatamalicious or yourself can include the twins going outside for a quick press conference before the battle begins. That could give you the time to chat a little.

Either way, our Showdown battle will be at 11:00 Eastern Time tonight. See you then!

@prettydrops

Working on a Margo post right now! Will be up shortly, promise :)

@iKatamalicious

I liked your choice of last word in that post. It made me think of the "adamant" Pokemon nature, a subliminal fourth wall break if you will. Good work.

@Balthazar007I could probs battle now? I know I said 11 but I think this works too! I finished some homework earlier than i expected !

Sorry, I was on the road. I'm ready now. I'll log in to Showdown and wait for you there. Whenever you are ready send the challenge.

@TheForgottenArc

Btw, all your Pokemon gain another level for battling, if that wasn't already a given. :)

But I was SO CLOSE lmao ugh balth i hate you :/ ngl, i figured id lose anyways but when i actually got close to winning... lmao oh well, so it goes!

To provide some context for everyone else, here's a link to the replay: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-818539896

Good try though. At least you took down Mothim pretty easily, if that's a consolation.

All your Pokemon gain one level.

@prettydrops

Oh, and in the dramatization of the battle, be sure to accentuate the beauty of the battle more than the raw power displayed, in keeping with your character's contest oriented theme. You were probably already planning to do this, but just making sure. :)

@prettydrops

Also, remember for when Jack is in front of a crowd, as is the case here, he will put on a kind hearted gentlemanly front. If he insults Indigo, it would be in the form of a backhanded compliment or something subtle. He has an image to protect.

after today's IC day...

I was wondering if we could time skip a week or two? (maybe even three?) perhaps indigo, dan, and margo just kind of vacation for awhile and hang around shamba? I ask because, while I don't mind rping out every single day, it's also gonna take forever indigo's pokemon to evolve because even tho the levels are 'correct', he's been only training for technically 5 hours a day or so for a few days. I just feel like real pokemon world wise, pokemon wouldn't evolve that soon. i feel like it'd take like... a month. and that's just stage one. when combusken turns into blaziken eventually, i feel like that should take even longer.

So I guess I'm asking if we can just timeskip for two weeks and say they kind of just did whatever? Maybe they just hung around Shamba, did some odd jobs here and there, connected more, and just took it easy? we can spin it however way we like. maybe they even went back to visit Dan's mom? basically today's IC day would end, and they would wake up and it would be two-three weeks later. everything's the same, they still have the same amount of money, levels, etc. just the time line has pushed forward. (just to keep things simple).

if that's too inconvenient though, or that doesn't seem feasible, then i don't mind! i'll just make indy's pokemon evolve as we rp our IC days out. i just figured i'd ask tho xP sorry i don't mean to be a nuisance! let me know what you guys think!

@prettydrops

I'm on board but if we do end up visiting Dan's mom I ask that part of one day or just one of the days I go into to details, Just for a little more character development, but just one day!

@TheForgottenArc yeah definitely! we can do whatever you want :)

I just want to make sure I understand: they'll timeskip for awhile, but you'd like to rp out the day when they visit Dan's mom, yes? am i on the right track?

@prettydrops
Correct!

If that's what you all want to do then go ahead. That doesn't mean Jack and Jill are going to sit around doing nothing however. If you take a week off, they'll put some distance between ya'll. Though, to be realistic, they too will have to take a break at some point.

Also, if the level gains are becoming unrealistically fast per day, I can start being more stingy with how much training it takes to level up. Just let me know.
