@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc

So I read your latest posts and moved the timeline forward another 15 minutes. This means, they are on track to arrive in Wanzo around 1:45 (unless they speed up or slow down of course).

Also, I made an IC post related to the upcoming event. Ready to meet your rivals!?

[jujube]

@Balthazar007wooohoooo. Pretty excited for those rivals!

[jujube]

Pushes us to Wanzo. If you want forgottenarc, we can timeskup to the morning

@prettydrops

I've updated the music and time information.

@TheForgottenArc: Yes, I believe a time skip to morning at the Hotel would be a great move. I could set up your encounter right after your post.

[TheForgottenArc]

I didn't really want to control @prettydrops character too much. So I just woke up my character. When I next post we will probably leave the room and we can have that encounter.

[Balthazar007]

@TheForgottenArc@prettydrops

Okay, I posted official character sheets for the two new characters that your characters are about to meet. After each of you get in one more post, I will introduce them in an IC post.

@prettydrops

Worry not. My post was only that long because I felt that it was an important introductory post. I don't really like lengthy posting. Yours was fine.

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc

Okay, the stage is set. Now we need to arrange real life times to battle via Pokemon showdown: Daniel vs Jill, Indigo vs Jack. I have their teams ready; we just need to be online at the same time.

I can do any time in the next two hours for sure (i.e. noon here in Eastern Time). I can probably do anytime till 3:00PM ET as well, but I'd rather do sooner. After that, I work for the rest of the day.

After our battles. We can dramatize them in the IC section.

Remember to only use moves that your Pokemon could actually have learned via leveling up, and only use items that you have found IC. In other words, Indigo could equip Kee Berries in this battle, if they get used, then you must remove them from your inventory. Also, no hidden abilities, only regular abilities permitted.

Oh, and did I mention that you should be building your teams in the Anything Goes format? I think I did but just making sure.

[Balthazar007]

I'll need to up my Pokemon's level on there first. But I am available anytime after 3 on most days (Due to school/work)

@TheForgottenArc

First, you posted your response in the wrong place. Lol. No biggie though.

Second, what about right now? You at work / school. It should only take five or ten minutes at most.

Edit: Oops, just missed you. Can we shoot for 3:30 today. That's about the latest I can do before I have to get ready for work at 5:00PM. Are you on Eastern Time too?

[jujube]

@Balthazar007I won't really be able to battle today, honestly, nor tomorrow or Friday because work+school and I'm still accessing stuff using only my phone. I don't want to hold up the story though so..

Maybe determine the battle with dicerolls?? Idk. I can try to be on Friday but I really can't promise anything. And showdown is really annoying to work with onnmy phone. I'm sorry. If I get enough done on Thurs I could do Friday on a laptop I think. Do you work Friday?

@prettydrops

I have to be at work at 5:00 PM on Friday as well, so 3:30PM would be the latest. I am off all day Thursday as well. Also, I don't mind getting on around midnight (after work) for a quick Showdown battle. Again, as long as you have a laptop/computer available, Showdown battles only take a few minutes. The time consuming part is stylizing the battle in the IC section.

I don't want to use dice rolls for major events. I don't like dice rolls at all actually. There will be more minor characters as we progress that you can battle purely IC. I will introduce them and you will simply stylize the battle to a conclusion that you determine is fair.

EDIT: Also, I don't mind if we slow down for a couple days, if need be. I could use that time to work on my novel.

[TheForgottenArc]

@Balthazar007

Sure, I'll try to get on around 3:30. Just our fight, We'll figure out Pretty's battle later on. And yes I am eastern time zone.

Also: I edited my post in the character bar. Despite the mistakes at least there is a spot I can introduce a temp character or something later down the line?

@TheForgottenArc

...maybe after your main character gets more established. Let's not worry about that for now.

I'll be waiting for you on Showdown at 3:30PM. I'll also have this site pulled up if you need to ask any questions first. You should be ready to go though. Just send me a challenge on there at 3:30. My user name on there is the same as here: Balthazar007

[TheForgottenArc]

@Balthazar007

Yea, No. I meant way later. Like after the MC has been more established.

[TheForgottenArc]

@Balthazar007

Dangggg they are leveled really high for one day of training but whatever. No Biggie. You go ahead and make an IC post about me losing. And I'll do a response afterward.

[Balthazar007]

@TheForgottenArc

Battle Replay

Sorry to go so harsh on Daniel, but she is the daughter of Septoh's reigning champion. Also, they trained non stop for two days, not one. They got started the same day as you did, only later in the day. Plus this gives Danial a difficult wall to overcome.

Also, I made the last post, so I'd rather you describe the battle. You don't have to do a play-by-play reenactment either, just that she won handily with her Cherubi. And you don't have to post it today. You can wait till you have time.

Also, both of your Pokemon gain one level for battling. Winning and loosing doesn't matter in this RP when it comes to experience, because realisticly, one can learn just as much from a loss as a win.

Edit: I saw where you got the "one day of training" from. She said they trained all day yesterday in my previous post. That is true, but they also began training the evening before, as soon as they got their Pokemon. Just to clear up that confusion, I edited the post where she mentions how much they've been training.

[TheForgottenArc]

@Balthazar007Ah my mistake, But don't take that as me complaining, I didn't mean to come off like that. I will post later tonight though I guess.

@TheForgottenArc

Post whenever you have the time. No rush.

And thanks for being a good sport! The greatest heroes are those that overcame the greatest of diversities.

[jujube]

I could be on at midnight or after to do a quick showdown battle I think@Balthazar007

I pretty much figure indigo is going to lose lmao I expected their rivals to be way higher leveled than them. Makes it fun tho!
