[OOC] Pokemon: Storm

[jujube]

hope the post is okay! i'd push the timeline forward by about 30 minutes. im thinking maybe the old man got held up at the store or something, so he doesn't have to come back yet either. ill probably wrap up the search in the next post, if that's okay.

@prettydrops

I'm going with 20 minutes, if that's okay.

Well I would’ve had her battle Zvi tbh but he’s probably way too strong. I had thought about having her battle a trainer but I was just going to have her train her Pokémon once more after hanging out on Mt Leeman and sketching / painting some of the nature views maybe she’ll give it to Dans mom when she realizes the others are giving her a gift.

[jujube]

Wasn't sure whether we were going with the old man not noticing or something so I went for not noticing. Haha I hope that's okay.

@iKatamalicious

You can have her do whatever you like. It's up to you. And she wouldn't necessarily loose to Zvi. He'd be using his two strong Pokemon (Noctowl and Sudowoodo), but she could win if she used all of her Pokemon. It's however you feel.

...
"Well, everything seems to be in order! They're not fighting and you even got Boo to take his nap! Well done, boys. I think you deserve a bonus. Now then, that's $20 for each of you, and the amount of poke currency should be..."

@prettydrops

Sorry, I wasn't clear on HOW PokeCurrency would be awarded. PokeCurrency is awarded automatically by the Poke Corp (The Corporation that makes all Pokemon Items in Septoh... including the Pokedex).

All the man has to do is mark the mission as complete on his smartphone or other device with internet access. This is assuming he's not a trainer himself. He would have an App for posting missions for trainers to find. If he IS an active trainer, he would do this on his Pokedex.

To make things easy this time, you could change the ending paragraph of your post to look like this:

...
"Well, everything seems to be in order! They're not fighting and you even got Boo to take his nap! Well done, boys. I think you deserve a bonus." The old man pulled out a regular cell phone, an early generation smartphone to be exact. "Now then, I'm going to up the dollar award from $15 to $20! And I'm going to give you a great review for your job well done too, that way they give you more Poke Dollars... Let's see........ And..." He pressed a button to finalize the transaction. A soft ding signaled success. "Done! Thank you boys so much!"

@prettydrops

I'll then reply with a post revealing how much Poke Money they earned.

[TheForgottenArc]

Sorry for bein gone, I'll post after @Balthazar007 tells us how much we earned. Dan's probably gonna train somewhere that isn't Mt.Leeman as to not disturb Margo @iKatamalicious.

[iKatamalicious]

@Balthazar007

Hahah I actually had done a trial battle with prettydrops with all Margo’s Pokémon and Indy’s Pokémon and she got trashed lmaoo.

I’ll just have her train a bit more before attempting to take anyone on, for real, haha.

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc@iKatamalicious

I squeezed in a very basic short post before bed time, so as not to hold anyone up any longer.

[jujube]

I'll post after forgottenarc! @iKatamalicious is Margo going to challenge indigo? He'll probably be moping at the Pokemon Center haha

[Balthazar007]

@TheForgottenArc

I read your latest IC post and moved the timeline two hours accordingly. Congrats on the evolution. Also, remember to post your Pokemon's level growths somewhere, either in a hider at the bottom of IC posts like prettydrops does OR in Daniel's character sheet.

I'm not keeping track of levels anymore, but you should. :)

[TheForgottenArc]

Yep @Balthazar007 I had to go but I remembered when I got back!

[jujube]

my apologies, i'll post later tonight! im sorry things have been so busy this week. are we just going to have them go to bed? actually it'd probably be interesting to have dan show grotle to indy!

[TheForgottenArc]

@prettydrops I don't mind whatever but might as well get to bed soon, as we still got that one vacation day we gotta do for that time skip for some actual Interaction with Dan's mom. For anyone wondering you CAN control Dan's mom treat her as a normal NPC!

[iKatamalicious]

@TheForgottenArc @prettydrops

Not ignoring you guys! (Well maybe Indy...) But I'm just having Margo be scarce for the time being because she's still brooding about challenging Indy and she wants to be ready for it; I think she wants to prove her point before going back to talking normally to Indy. Not so much Dan, but obviously she didn't want to awkwardly sit with Indy and Dan lmao.

She will be making her appearance back in the morning to join the two on the boat ride~

[jujube]

@TheForgottenArc i'll let you wrap up the night! if you want indigo and dan to keep talking, that's totally cool with me, but it's also fine with me if you want to go to the next morning and get them started on their way back to wanzo for the boat. it's really up to you!

[TheForgottenArc]

@prettydrops Haha sorry for taking so long, also I want to just detail the morning. And after they leave flash-forward to one day with Dan's mom, and then skip to the next week after they get back. Is that okay?

[Balthazar007]

Sorry I haven't had the chance to jump on here over the last couple days. I've been pulling doubles at work every day for the last three days. And I've been super focused on wrapping up my novel. 3 chapters to go and I'll be done... with the 1st draft.

[jujube]

@Balthazar007 no worries!

@TheForgottenArc that works for me but isnt dan going to catch an exeggute? also, i kind of wanted indigo to catch a pokemon too. we might not be able to skip the whole week?

[TheForgottenArc]

@prettydrops oh yea, we can probably do parts of desperate days for catching Pokemon but not do the whole day.

[Balthazar007]

@iKatamalicious@TheForgottenArc@prettydrops

I like the dialogue and character building between Indy and Dan. They really feel like old buddies now.

I've updated the timeline in the first IC post to reflect Dan's 5:20AM happenings. But dang 5:20AM!? Something tells me Indy isn't THAT much of a morning person. Lol

And @iKatamalicious, in your hider, you only have your Pokemon listed by thier nicknames. Could you also include their Pokemon species name? For example, I can't remember what kind of Pokemon Wulford was. This is just a humble request, not a requirement.

Thank you all for keeping this RP running in my absence. I have a IC post in mind that I'm working on now. It should be up within an hour.
