Ah yes, intent. The true way to understand someone when you can't understand what the actually fresh fuck they are saying.

Also, RIP manwich, we hardly knew ye.

The Wingull retaliated with water gun to collide against the ice projectiles rocketing towards the bird, taking one of them out in and pulverizing it into chunks though it was not so lucky with the other two. It missed its water gun and was smashed against the two icicles. This bird was already beginning to look like it was getting a bit tired from the beat down though despite the punishment it was enduring, it was still raring to go. This time it was able blast the Ice Shards out of the air with its Water Gun and watched as the Sneasel was trying to pull of his pretty risky maneuver.

The Wingull watched as the bipedal weasel jump off the wall and propel itself towards the Wingull in the air with an Ice Shard, readying its claws for a Scratch attack. In response, the Wingull used Water Gun again on the midair Sneasel. Now, the issue is that at this point it would be safe to say that the Sneasel was already committed to the attack so any chance of dodging would be impossible. The only way it would get out of this is if the Wingull missed.

Jack was met with the full force of a blast of water colliding against him and blasted towards the ground. It was a critical hit! Lucky for the Sneasel though, it wouldn't be enough to knock it down, but was it going to hurt.

The Wingull followed up with Quick Attack.

How does Steph respond?


@samreaper

"You're a bit too late. I don't have any of the goods on me. They've already been handed off to the goons and probably sold off somewhere. This though?" Robbie said, holding up a manilla folder and waving it around before tossing it down to the ground for Princess to pick up. "Totally useless to you. There is not a chance in hell that you or most of the region would be able to understand what this contains, but if it gets your Riolu off my back."

Indeed, he made no effort to stop the Riolu from retrieving what he had just dropped. As soon as Tristan had it in his hands, he knew that whatever was in that folder was not money. The mob was not paying Robbie monetarily; they were paying him with the privilege of living. It was a stack of paper, but whatever was actually on that paper remained to be seen. Despite this, one would be a fool to think that there was no importance placed upon these papers. Robbie risked getting caught and rushed his way to that rundown shack of a cabin to retrieve these papers for some reason. Tristan better hold onto that folder tightly.

Tristan received Manilla Folder


Since Robbie did not put up a fight just like Tristan asked, he was led out of the tunnel. He had to squint as his eyes recalibrated to the now evening sun setting over them and took a deep breath of the fresh air after breathing in that damp, musty tunnel air. He chuckled bitterly and looked at Tristan with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"You know, I really did like this place. They gave me a chance that no one else ever did and treated me like family. I had a real sense of belonging and then I ballsed it all up. Shame that I'll never see it again... Not in the way that you think though."

The Pokeball flashed and out came the Ditto from earlier.


Ditto, the Transform Pokemon. It can reconstitute its entire cellular structure to change into what it sees, but it returns to normal when it relaxes. When it encounters another Ditto, it will move faster than normal to duplicate that opponent exactly.


That Ditto then begin to physically reconstitute itself into the Pokemon that was in front of it, Princess the Riolu. Tristan and Princess would watch as this thing shifted and twisted until it was the spitting image of the Riolu standing in front of it.

"Sorry kid, but you really shouldn't trust others that easily. Not when it's a matter of life and death. Now, give me back that folder or, well, I don't think either of us are gonna like what will happen next."

If Tristan refuses, well, we all know what will happen and let's be honest, Tristan is gonna get that damn Torchic even if it kills him..

Farmhand Robbie challenges you!



@Zarkun

Again, the Hawlucha's eyes glowed again as it used Detect and leaped out of the way of the invisible force though the follow attack was quite literally impossible to dodge. The sound waves imbued with mystical energy reverberated throughout the battlefield. The Hawlucha grabbed its head as it tried to block out the sound to no avail though in a rush to end this fight, it charged towards one of the Ralts doppelgangers and swung at it with all its might, putting so much of its weight forward to increase the impact as much as possible.

So, the Hawlucha rolled a 1.

The Ralts doppelganger phased through its attack and because the Hawlucha threw so much of its weight forward, it could not stop its momentum and tumbled through after image so spectacularly that it somersaulted straight into the crowd and actually smacked into someone, knocking that person over in the process. It received recoil damage from this massive failure and was trying to stand up and get its bearings only to receive a direct Confusion. The psychic attacked forced the luchador bird to stumble back and then glared a frightening glare at the Ralts.

It charged straight towards one of the Ralts' doppelgangers and this time, it's aim was true. It swung down its wing swathed with red energy to strike down at the tiny green creature who was also now leaping up at the Hawlucha for a Draining Kiss. It all came down to who reacted the fastest!

There was a momentary pause and... the Hawlucha glowed with magenta energy before it fell flat on its back. Slayer sealed the deal with a kiss on the cheek and a 20 dice roll.

The street clothed wearing young man that was acting as the referee ran onto the battlefield and declared, "We have a winner folks! The blue haired guy with the Ralts wins!"

The crowd just stared in awed silence before they erupted into roaring cheer for the little menace had been defeated!

Ralts grew to level 14!


While the audience was cheering, the Hawlucha's eyes shot wide open, and it jumped back on its feet looking around to try and figure out what it was going on until it realized that it... lost? It lost. There was something out there stronger than itself? Did that mean that there was something even stronger than his opponent?

The bird's fist clenched and stomped over to Jason and Slayer in a huff.

"Haw, hawlucha! Lucha haw!" It seemed to be demanding something from Jason. Slayer though would be able to understand clearly; it was demanding that Jason would take it on his journey to grow stronger and prove its strength against the world.

The Move Tutor smiled and said, "Right away miss. I will need to borrow your Blipbug for a little bit."

Stella would hand over the little Occul to the Move Tutor who then went to a backroom where she could hear them give encouragement to the Blipbug as it tried to learn a new move. Eventually after a period of time, the Move Tutor returned with her Blipbug and handed it back to her. "Here you go miss! Have a nice day!" Stella would hand over 500P.

After doing her shopping, she would head to the supposedly abandoned manor. Compared to how beautiful it was in its photos, it had seen better days. The red and white paint had faded to almost a gray and was chipping away, the windows were covered in a thick layer of dirt and dust, the wrought iron fencing was rusted, bits of wood looked like they were about to break off the house, and the grass was wild and unkempt. However, strangely enough the garden remained intact and was maintained with an obvious great affection.

When Stella knocked on the door, she heard an elderly voice ring out, "I'll be right there! Please give me a second!"

She would wait around for a few minutes until the door was slowly pulled open back to reveal a thin, elderly man with thick glasses and full head of gray hair. He smiled at him though there was a bit of confusion due to a stranger was standing at his doorway.

"Can I help you, miss?" He asked politely, his voice kind, yet frail.


@Sanguine Rose

"Eh, if you're coming over anyway then you can just use dad's printer." Rosa said as she kept an eye on the kids.

"If you're heading to the ranch then me and my sis better come back with you. If you're staying for dinner, then I'll have to tell mom or else she'll have my head. It is getting late anyway." It was becoming the late afternoon, the sky was becoming a blend of blue, orange, and purple hues as the sun started to set. While Faye's on a journey free of responsibility towards her parents, Rosa had to make sure that her preschool aged sister was back at home in time for dinner and bedtime lest she get a verbal lashing from her mother.

So, Faye was led to Frida's Ranch by Rosa and her little sister, Lisa, the girl that she fought earlier today with the Nickit. They would walk down the dirt path past other properties where people grew other things such as berry orchards and other crops. When they arrived at Frida's Ranch Eventually, they would arrive at what looked like a stereotypical ranch; a series of massive red wooden buildings with Pokemon contained in these enclosures. They were most definitely not wild Pokemon so they could not be captured, but that does not mean they can't be obtained.

In one partition, there were two kinds of Pokemon that looked very similar; they were both wooly things though one species had a white coat and another with a yellow coat.



Pokédex Entry #179 – Mareep, the Wool Pokemon. Clothing made from Mareep's fleece is easily charged with static electricity, so a special process is used on it. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.




Pokédex Entry #831 – Wooloo, the Sheep Pokemon. Its curly fleece is such an effective cushion that this Pokémon could fall off a cliff and stand right back up at the bottom, unharmed. If its fleece grows too long, Wooloo won't be able to move. Cloth made with the wool of this Pokémon is surprisingly strong.


There two pens where pink, round bovines were separated from these fierce bulls with three tails. For some reason, looking at the pink cows would instill a primal fear that would be hard to explain as if a collective consciousness has experienced their wrath.



Pokédex Entry #241 – Miltank, the Milk Cow Pokemon. Miltank produces highly nutritious milk, so it's been supporting the lives of people and other Pokémon since ancient times. This Pokémon needs to be milked every day, or else it will fall ill. The flavor of Miltank milk changes with the seasons.




Pokédex Entry #128 – Tauros, the Wild Bull Pokemon. When Tauros begins whipping itself with its tails, it's a warning that the Pokémon is about to charge with astounding speed. Once it takes aim at its foe, it makes a headlong charge. It is famous for its violent nature.


Then there were these little orange chickens walking around by a coop pecking ground.



Pokédex Entry #255 – Torchic, the Chick Pokemon. Torchic sticks with its Trainer, following behind with unsteady steps. This Pokémon breathes fire of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, including fireballs that leave the foe scorched black. It has a place inside its body where it keeps its flame. Give it a hug—it will be glowing with warmth. This Pokémon is covered all over by a fluffy coat of down.


However, there was something completely off. The entire farm was in a state of panic. People seemed to be running all over the place as if they were looking for something as if their lives depended on it. From what Faye could pick up, they were looking for some Pokemon that could transform and that was marked with magenta feathers by a trainer's Pokemon. Judging by the looks of confusion on both Rosa and Lisa, her little sister's face, this was not the norm.

"The fresh hell is this?" Rosa asked herself.

"Rosa said a bad word!"

"Shut it."

Among those running around was this massive bear of man in a red plaid shirt, denim overalls, and black boots. his man had arms like steel girders, barrel chested, and had a lush, full brown beard and bushy eyebrows that obscured his face. He saw the girls and sprinted over to them; the ground shook a bit with each step and then easily towered over them. It would be more accurate to say that he was more bear than man.

"Rosa, Lisa! You're back!" He exclaimed before glancing at the new girl for a brief moment. "Who's your friend?"

"Um, this is Faye and uh... Okay, what's going on?", asked Rosa.

"We finally have a clue on the thief. We hired this trainer to help, and it seems like he figured something out... I have no idea where he is though"

"Can we help? Can we, can we?", said Lisa, the little preschooler.

Her father just grimaced at the very thought of having her help, knowing that it would be extra work to just keep an eye on her while they were looking for the thief."Uh, please just take your sister inside and keep an eye on her."

"Got it." Rosa would drag along the little girl complaining a storm to the audible relief of their father.

He turned to Faye and said very apologetically, "I'm sorry, but this is really a bad time right now. We can't really entertain guests until we sort this out. You can go inside with the girls or come back later."

What does Faye want to do?

Well, they certainly got its attention alright. The ember didn't hit the Wingull, it hit the sandwich with enough force to knock it out of its claws and careened down to the salt water in a smoldering mess.

"Gull gull!" Which translated to, My manwich!

The bird did a complete U-turn to fly towards the jerks that burnt its rightfully earned sandwich, which it stole, but stealing was work, only to meet face first with a fucking icicle. The poor Wingull just fell and almost smacked the ground though it just in time regained its balance in the air and glide along the ground as Jack tried to jump it. Unfortunate for Jack, the Wingull was actually quick enough to respond with a Water Gun and blasted the Sneasel away with a forceful stream of water from its mouth.

The Wingull just looked at Steph with some fight in its eyes. "Gull!"

Steph does not know what it said, but she can assume it was insulting.

What does Steph do?


@samreaper

Robbie just spun around in a panic to see that his way was blocked off by both sides though he was soon focused on Tristan who was going on about how there was no way out and to surrender peacefully. What his response? The farmhand began to laugh hysterically though it was not out of mockery towards Tristan's attempt at being some intimidating detective. This was broken, something that could come from a man at the end of his rope where the only sensible thing is to laugh at the absurdity of his situation.

This fit of laughter subsided eventually and the only thing Tristan could see was not the bright man from earlier, but someone who had been beaten down at everything this world had thrown at him, and he just could not take it anymore.

"You want to know? Fine, you're in this for the long haul whether you like it or not." He said with no ounce of resistance.

"I fell into debt with the worst kind of people imaginable in Neon Shore City a few months back. I had a winning streak in its casino though that was because I was counting cards, but uh, word to the wise, when the mob finds out you cheated them, they take exception to that. It was either that I found a way to make it square or I would be chopped up into feed. I don't know how they knew, but they knew that I was a farmhand here and had access to these Pokemon eggs on the ranch. They wanted me to steal the eggs and hand them off to their men. I'm guessing they were selling them off to someone for exorbitant prices, especially the Torchic eggs. God knows what's happened to them."

He could only chuckle bitterly at the point his life had entered and to make matters worse, it dragged innocent bystanders down with him.

"Kid, you are so out of your fucking depth. You have no idea how what kind of target you've put on your back just by getting involved. We're both already dead. You just don't know it yet."

He returned the Ditto to his Pokeball and looked back at Tristan.

"Just take me back. I'm tired of everything."

What does Tristan do?


@Zarkun

The Hawlucha's eyes glowed for a brief moment, and it somehow just seemed to leap out of the way of an invisible force of psychic energy directed its way. That was the move Detect, which basically allowed a free dodge from any attack as it could just predict what attack would come its way.

In retaliation, the Hawlucha charged straight towards the Ralts though then there were suddenly a horde of Ralts courtesy of Double Team. The bird looked around confused and swung its wing at one of the doppelgangers only for it to pass through. It did notice that one of the Ralts figures released a wave of energy that rippled throughout the air, which was Hypnosis, but quickly was able to fly upwards to avoid it. The Hawlucha then flew down and smashed down with a Wing Attack against one of the figures only to find it was again another doppelganger and then just ate a Confusion from behind.

It stumbled a bit from the impact, showing obvious signs of damage and even more obvious signs of anger. It wanted what it would call an 'honest' fight. No trickery, no status inducing moves, just pure one on one combat. That was its nature so the fact that it was struggling against a Ralts of all things was certainly an insult.

A red energy extended from its fingers and then traveled up its wings to create this bladed aura around it that expanded its wingspan. This was Hone Claws. It's attack and accuracy increased by 1 stage.

What does Jason do?

@Zarkun

Jason made his way back to the Entertainment District via cable car and eventually made his way back to the Battle Square where the crowd did not recede at all. In fact, it looked like there was a decent line of people chomping at the bit to take down this half-sized feathered luchador. Jason would have no choice, but to stand in the queue that was getting shorter at an alarming rate. As he got closer, he would hear the occasional cries from the trainers who just were getting curb stomped and smeared around.

"Mercy, mercy!"

"Momma!"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

At this point this was just a glorified meat grinder and Jason was now the fresh meat. He was now standing face to face with this feathered, suplexing menace who was looking at the fledgling trainer with an ever-smug grin.

Jason was now standing in what was basically just a wooden arena where people were sitting on bleachers that were also made of wood just watching the slaughter. Standing in the middle of the arena seemed to be a young man in baggy street wear standing in as a referee who began this match with an announcement.

"Alright, the rules for this battle are simple! It is a one v. one match instead of our usual three v. three format! Meaning, you are only allowed one Pokemon for this battle! The Hawlucha will be treated as if it is a trainer so that means you are not allowed to catch it! The first one to knock out their opponent will be considered the winner!"

The referee turned to Jason and said, "Send out your Pokemon."

What does Jason do?


@CitrusArms

From the brochures she would weirdly enough, there was only surface level information on the decrepit house. What she could find was that it was around since the creation of Florasong over a hundred-years-ago and that it once was the home to the Osmans, a once prominent noble family that has now fallen into ruin. There were even photos of paintings of the house in its prime; a beautifully red painted manor with white trimming and ivy growing up its walls and a lush well-kept garden that looked like it once had a hundred hands working on it. There was even a technicolor photograph of a happy, handsome family that looked like it was taken in the last 90 years: a woman, a man in a wheelchair, and a little girl. Why this had happened to them, what their current situation is, and why the once glorious home was in currently in this rundown state was not answered in these brochures.

Once she felt she had done enough light reading and picked her Pokemon up, she had decided to check out the Move Tutor. The Move Tutor smiled welcomingly and spoke with a jovial tone.

"Yes, I am miss. We are now back in every Pokemon Center in the region to offer our services. We keep the more powerful moves behind gym badges though, so your options are a bit limited."

When asked about what he could teach her Blipbug, he did look a bit concerned at the question because they are not known exactly for having the most diverse learn set out there in the Pokemon world. He actually had to pull out a book to see if it could even learn a move that is available to her, but luckily showed visible signs of relief.

"Ah, well it can learn one move that we can offer at your level of experience. It can learn Infestation. If you wish to learn more moves, then you'd need to evolve it at level 10. I'm sure you can do it!"

He then proceeded to cross check the book again when asked about the other Pokemon she would be interested in teaching and promptly said, "Well, for Joltik you can learn Bug Bite, Shock Wave, and Infestation. Your Tyrunt can learn Hone Claws from what is available at your level as well."

The book was then shut with a loud thump. It does contain information about practically all known Pokemon.

"Each move will cost 500P a pop. However, I feel like I should show you what other options you have for the future."

The Move Tutor handed her a list of moves.




@samreaper

From King's perspective, he would see the Ditto return with a manilla envelope that seemed to be filled to max capacity and a flashlight, handing them to Robbie. "Thanks, little buddy. Now, let's get out of here before they find us." The man stood up from his chair and limped over to a table and just knocked it over with a loud thud before he knelt down and felt around for something before, he found his grip. He lifted up a panel of wood and tossed it to the side to reveal a secret passage down below the house.

"Dit? Ditto?"

"What? No, of course I wasn't followed! Now hurry before they figure it all out!"

The Ditto hopped on his shoulder and Robbie began to climb down the ladder that Tristan saw earlier.

What would King do?

Meanwhile, Robbie and his Ditto were now in the dark tunnel and turned-on a flashlight, which Tristan from a distance could see from where he was, but the farmhand was too far away himself for the light to reach our hero of the story. Robbie would continue to press forward as fast as anyone could with an injured leg and Tristan could see the light get closer and closer to him. It probably wouldn't be long until Robbie would actually see him.

For the sake of simplicity, let's say that Jason decided to hunt for the Starly and really, it was not that hard to find one since they were all over the canopy of the village. He found this one literally just minding its own business until Jason so rudely interrupted its good vibes by throwing a sparkling bipedal gator at it.

The bird would counter its defense drop by using Growl to lower Sable's attack and would begin use Quick Attack to strike a pace faster than the Totodile could predict. However, it would still get hit with the Scratches that Sable would retaliate with. It was not a very exciting battle full of strategy; it was just two Pokemon beating the ever-loving crap out of each other until that bird was weak enough to go into a ball or until Sable went down. Fortunately, Jason did throw a Pokeball before Sable would go down and was absorbed into it.

It rolled once... it rolled twice... it rolled thrice!



Let's assume that Jason went to a Pokemon Center to heal up before going back to the woods.

Training in the woods, the main targets were just grass and bug type Pokemon, one of them being Shroomish. This Pokemon was particularly annoying to fight against due to physical contact moves triggering Effect Spore, which imparts a random status effect on the attacker.

Still, he got some training done and even trained against a the occasional uncommon Pokemon.


Aipom, the Long Tail Pokemon. It uses its tail to pluck fruits that are out of reach. Its tail is more adept than its real hands.



"Farfetch'd, the Wild Duck Pokemon. The Farfetch'd of the Galarian variety are brave warriors, and they wield thick, tough leeks in battle."


Slayer grew to level 12! Slayer learned Hypnosis, Slayer Learned Draining Kiss!
Murus grew to level 11! Murus learned Pound!
Sable grew to level 12! Sable learned Mud Slap!
Occisor grew to level 9! Occisor learned False Swipe!
Starly grew to levle 9! Starly learned Wing Attack!

"Okay, we gotta disappear. There are no bones about it, if we are found out then the police will be the least of our concerns. We'll leave through the tunnel and sneak our way out of the property." He tried to walk, but he winced in pain and had to sit down on a very old, creaky wooden chair. The pink blob concerningly moved over to him, but Robbit said, "I'll be fine. I just need to rest a bit. Please get the stash, Ditto."

The pink blob did some sort of nod and began to slide away as it seemed to be rummaging through some old furniture in

"God dammit, why me? Why did this have to happen to me?" He hid his face in his palms.

Meanwhile on Tristan's end, Princess removed the rest of the dirt from the door and opening it revealed an obviously manmade tunnel if the door wasn't an indication. There was an eerie silence as there were no Pokemon or any sound in that tunnel let alone any light source save from using something like his Pokedex's screen to light the way. Eventually, he wound find an end and there was a ladder and above him were now cracks of light.

What does Tristan do?


@Joshua Tamashii

Amelia bought 5 Potions.


She now has 1500P left.

After buying what she needed from the Pokemart, Amelia has now begun to look for the source of this spectral energy. There was no clear way of walking straight towards the source from Grand Glory so she would have to actually leave the city by one of its two routes. Considering that she wanted to avoid Florasong as much as possible, she would head south of the city. The further she went, the more he would notice that size of the buildings were less grand and sparce the greater the distance she walked. There was both a main road for vehicles to travel and a well-maintained dirt walkway for travelers making their way to the Starbor Woods and beyond if they were so inclined. She began to hear the sound of running water.

@Lunarlord34

After a quite modest lunch, Steph and Freya went to a Pokemart and got her supplies after paying a very confused cashier though because she bought ten Pokeballs she also received a free Premier Ball.

Steph bought 10 Pokeballs and 3 Potions.

Steph received a Premier Ball.


Steph was left with now 400 P.

After that, Steph had decided to do some asking around just to learn about the region with... varying results. Her accent didn't really help that much though thankfully she had a friend to help clear some misunderstandings up and was given some general info about the region though nothing really all that notable really. The thing is that a lot of people gave a lot of answers that sounded like they were for tourists, offering things that either equate into tourist traps, restaurants, or extremely useless trivia that would only be useful for pub trivia night. However, there were some sensible people that actually had something that would be at least somewhat helpful to tell Steph.

"I've heard that there's something going on in the Corrupted Marsh. The Pokemon are agitated for some reason and are attacking anyone that walks in."

"Have you checked out the ruins on Route 4? Strange things they are. They're covered in writing that no one can understand though ghost types seem to love it around there. I wonder what they say."

"Tourist huh? If you're gonna head north, then I suggest you buy something warm. Route 8 and Frostford snow all year round and trust me, you don't want to go there unprepared. I swear, it ain't natural."

"Huh, exploring the region, are you? Word of advice. If you are ever in Neon Shore City, do your best to keep your head low. Not much good happens getting noticed there."

"Oh? If you're heading to the Starbor Woods, then you should get some tree climbing equipment. You can find some pretty interesting things up in them."

"Did you know that some of the Pokemon in Evig have regional forms? Some of them are a bit harder to find than others, but I if you're a trainer I'm sure you'll want to seek them out."

Speaking of thieving Winguls, Steph would see one of these water rats with wings not steal some chips, but a full-on sandwich from a very portly dark-skinned man with dreadlocks and glasses. "My manwich!"


@Sanguine Rose

Rosa took a second to think about it though it was really just a second. "Eh, sure why not? As long you aren't posting it online it should be fine. Gather around kids!"

It didn't take a lot to wrangle the kids though there was the challenge of taking the photos of kids; they do not know how to sit still. There were so many failed attempts of getting a single photo of them sitting still and looking at the camera. Eventually though, Faye would get a singular photo where they just sat still and looked straight at the camera much to Rosa and our photographer's relief.

"Ah, sorry about that. Herding kids is like herding Purrloin." Apologized Rosa for the amount of effort it took to get one photo.

What was Faye going to do now?

At the cable cart stop, he would see this yellow and red cart slowly come down and halt to a stop. Its doors slid open, and people flooded in and out of the cart. The interior looked very much of that like a bus; it had seats where there were probably not enough seats and some poles that people could hold onto. It would stop every now and again to let people off and in from the different districts and give him a peek of what the other districts were like. One looked a bazaar filled with stalls and other storefronts with people all about looking for deals and another district looked like it had academic buildings and various cafes where scholarly people were hanging about.

These were not a quick means of transportation; the cart was slow, which was not helped by the many stops that it made. Occasionally at the higher levels, there would be a gust of wind that would jostle the cart. Eventually, the cart would stop one more time and the electronic announcer finally said...



It wasn't a long walk from the cable cart stop and the Battle Square. In fact, it was not very hard to find it at all. Sure, the Entertainment District was typically a bit crowded, but as he walked long the wooden platforms that made up the layer, he would see people pressed together as they were trying to get a view of something. That was until they all seemed to jump out of the way as some rando was sent flying by his own Pokemon being smashed into them. This earned a lot of pained 'oooos' and other grunts.

The culprit for this was this bipedal bird standing just slightly over two inches and looked like it was ripped straight out of some wrestling program. It was posing in celebration for its glorious victory over another trainer, a complete and utter blowhard of a Pokemon though one cannot deny its results.

Jason would not have a clue what this Pokemon was given that he was from the Hoenn region, but his handy dandy Pokedex sure knew what it was.




@samreaper

Robbie approached the house, not noticing King in his state of panic, and went inside. The man seemed obviously shaken and looked around in a frenzy. "Come on Ditto, I know you're here."

A blobby, pink thing that still had a few magenta feathers moved out appeared from underneath an old, broken sofa. "Ditto?"

Meanwhile...

There was something that Tristan did not notice given that he decided to not investigate the wall that Princess was facing, which had the scent of King still lingering through. It was actually a bit different compared to the rest of canal; the dirt looked less packed together, as if the dirt was a bit looser for some reason. In his fit of despair, when Tristan first punched the ground, a bit of the loose earth fell off. When Tristan then fell on his back, more of the dirt fell this time in a larger chunk that fell on the poor lad though it was a stroke of luck. There was a dusty, still half covered in dirt, wooden door.


@Lunarlord34

The waiter just looked at Steph as if she had Caterpies crawling out of her ears, but again, Freya was there to help translate for her, who is also translating for the narrator because what in the fresh hell is a 'pahmi?' Well, maybe the prospect of food was improving her mood because the fact that the Galarian's eyes lit up did not escape Freya. However, the gossip was actually what escaped her as she caught none of what was said around them.

"You seem to be in a bit of a better mood now." Freya commented with a smile as she leaned back in her seat though she did sigh as she did seem to be a bit bothered herself. "I can't imagine that Evig has made a very good first impression on you considering what you've seen today. Well, except for that guy with the Kalosian accent. We take no responsibility for that."

Really, it would have been reasonable to have a bit of a tainted image of what Evig was like after the kind of people that Steph had met. Thugs, scam artists, a Kalosian... it would be amazing that her view wasn't altered somewhat.

So, do Steph and Freya have a nice lunch and move on or is there something specific that Steph wants to do at the pub?

So, Jason decided to ask the locals to learn about the village and its happenings.

"If you're looking for fun, head towards the Entertainment District. It's at the top of the village and generally has something for everyone though if you're a trainer you'll probably like the Battle Square. Funnily enough, a wild Pokemon has been challenging and beating trainers there."

"Oh, if you're looking for information you can go to the Scholar District. There is a library and a lab where a pretty famous professor who researches the ecology of Pokemon works. It's also where the local Pokemon Breeders are located where they specifically breed a regional variant of Voltorb that went extinct in their original region a few hundred years ago. There is someone there who is interested in researching something about the Forest Deity."

"They're some Pokemon in the Agricultural District. We are mainly a self-reliant, so we grow our own crops, but every now and again Pokemon decide that they want to snack on them to the frustration of the farmers."

"The Market District doesn't really have a department store, but more like various stalls and storefronts. At the top of my head, there's a farmers' market where the local farmers sell their goods, some useful for trainers like yourself. A wacky craftsman from Frostford that will sell you some random stuff has a shop set up there. Of course, there are other stores, but half of the fun is the exploring!"

Of course, this information is all incomplete and would need to venture into the areas himself to learn more about them though this was a start.

What does he do?


@samreaper

King would not notice anything really strange about anything around the house other than the fact that it looked like it would keel over from a strong gust of wind. It was a wonder how this place hasn't been taken down yet given much of a safety hazard that this thing was. Even flying down, King would not have noticed that were was anything odd, save for a single magenta feather on the rotten wooden floor. The thing that King had marked had been inside, or maybe still inside.

Meanwhile with the Princess and Tristan team, they went down this oversized, dried out irrigation channel to see where in the fresh hell it could've led. They walked down for only a few minutes before Princess would stop in her tracks. It was not that she lost the scent, not really. Rather, she just looked confused as she looked around because the thing was that she could still follow King's trail. The issue was that it would've been impossible to follow the scent because it would mean having to go through solid earth.

Princess was facing one of the walls of the channel.

What does Tristan do?


@Joshua Tamashii

Without a moment of hesitation, the Mimikyu slapped the button on the Pokeball and was absorbed into it. The Pokeball would begin to roll in her hand.

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



A few moments later after whatever celebration that Amelia may have had, she felt something... odd. Not from the Pokeball that contained from her newly acquired Mimikyu. No, in fact it was something that typically would not, should not be possible. For a split second, maybe even less, she felt an explosion of spectral energy wash over her though it seemed to be quickly cut off by something. Every hair on her body would've been standing and even Amelia, the ghost girl, would've felt chills creeping down her spine. Of course, only Amelia would be able to notice this given her unique abilities.

What was odd about it is that Amelia's ability to sense this sort of thing had a limited range. She would have been able to gather that this was not happening anywhere in the city; such an occurrence would've actually been disastrous. If this was the case, it would mean that it was happening outside of the city and if that were the case, then it would mean that whatever this was it was powerful enough to trigger her sixth sense from a distance and as far as she knew was the only one aware of it.

For that split second, she would've been able to tell that the general direction that this energy came from between routes 1 and 4, towards Lake Charity.

"Yeah, I could figure that out on my own. You didn't hide your nervousness when battling children very well." She said with a bit of a smirk in response to Faye's confession. It wasn't that hard to see when someone looked tense over battling with small children that barely had any idea what strategy was, but hey, at least she was decent enough that she could actually win. Well, that was a really low bar anyway.

Rosa just watched the interaction between Faye and her new companion, pretty amused that Mr. Hoots was actually a Mrs. Hoots. It wasn't really that surprising though. Who would expect preschoolers to properly check the sex of a Pokemon? They probably just said the first thing that came to their minds and stuck with it.

When asked about what life is like on a ranch, Rosa just shrugged. "Ehhhhh, it's fine, I guess. I tend to help out after school a bit though it's fun when we get to take care of the hatchlings. It's a bit far from here, considering we're off the beaten path, but once we get back on track it should only be a few minutes by foot."

They were in the middle of a field after all. They would need to come back the way they came in order to get back on the route proper. Seeing as this was the case, Rosa shrugged again and said "Eh, sure. Why not? We're heading back the same way anyway."

With that, they made their way through the fields again until they were back on Route 1 proper. Eventually, they would find that the kids had indeed caught up to the Wooloo and was now safely just napping under a tree.

One of them asked, "Did you catch Mr. Hoots?"


@Lunarlord34

"Oh, my brother gave me this little guy when I was selected to take part of the League. It's his Hydreigon's kid though he's a bit..." She glanced at the Deino chewing on the table before she loosened its jaw and pulled its head back. Its tongue popped out in a derpy manner as it seemed to stare into space though it was hard to tell due to its fur obscuring its eyes.

Meanwhile the Growlithe happily received some head pats from Steph, instantly gaining its favor. When asked about where she obtained this fire puppy, Freya said,"Oh, there are some Growlithes back in the park by the Trainer's School. The park is typically used as a place to help new trainers learn how to catch Pokemon, among other things."

When asked about what people usually eat in this joint, she leaned out of her seat as if she was looking for something. "Oh, yeah, menus." Freya waved down a server who brought a really cheap looking menu that was stained in some sort of sauce and reeked of booze.

Steph was handed a menu and really, it was standard fair pub food such as burgers and fish and chips though there was an entire section dedicated to curry, which in a way makes sense because that was Galar's favored dish and they were in a Galarian pub. Of course, the menu had a drinks section that both contained a list of beers, wines, and the like, but because they were both underaged, they were not allowed order these drinks, so they were only allowed to order only non-alcoholic drinks, including mocktails if they were so inclined.

While Steph was looking at the menu, she'd hear a few conversations that may have been of interest to her.

"Hey, have you heard about some weird Pokemon coming out from the sewers at night?"

"Yeah, no idea what's going on there. I wonder what the deal with that is though I'm sure as hell not exploring those sewers looking for it."

From another table, she could hear another interesting conversation.

"I'm telling you, when I was hiking outside the city, I felt the fear of god in me. For some reason when I was heading closer to Lake Charity, every fiber in my being screamed at me to run. I've never felt this fearful in my life."

"Sounds like a you problem. Ever thought of getting a new hobby?"

"Screw you."

Before Steph could eavesdrop more, the server returned and asked, "Freya, miss. Any drinks first or are we ready to order?"

The Breeder smiles and takes the Pokeball from the counter. "Excellent. I'll just take your Pokemon to the back and begin to tutor it." The Breeder went to a backroom behind him and for a few moments there was silence before there was a loud crash and yelling only for him to come back out with tattered clothes, bruises, and Jason's Pokemon back in its ball.

Oscissor learned Ominous Wind!


"Thank you... Can I help you with anything else?" He said shakily and a forced smile.

The kid was hiding behind his mother, holding his Ratata as he kept his distance from the Mimikyu. Meanwhile the mother smiled at the strange, creepy creature and said, "Is that so? Well, thank you very much Mimikyu." She looked down to the child behind her legs peeping over to look down at the ghost-type Pokemon with great apprehension.

"Aren't you going to thank it too? It found your friend." said the mother.

"Um, thank you for taking care of Chewy." The child finally said before quickly hiding behind his mother again. It was only natural that this child was afraid of the Mimikyu. Ghost types have a terrible reputation and the fact that Mimikyu looks like a deranged voodoo doll thanks to its scuffed cloak only made it worse, but luckily, at least someone seemed to be more eager to show its appreciation.

The Ratata popped out of the boy's arms and ran over to the Mimikyu to give it an affectionate head bump before running back to its owner where they would walk away while waving the Mimikyu and Amelia goodbye until they left the Pokemon Center.

The Mimikyu was looking up at Amelia, not in a way that could be said expectantly, but hopeful that she would keep her word and take it along with her on whatever journey the girl was on. It was better than being alone again. "Mimu?"

What does Amelia do?


@samreaper

Thus, the escapades of King began once again. The Murkrow flew above Bill and managed to keep his distance away from the farm hand while he followed him though it did not actually matter. Bill was simply too preoccupied.

This man rolled a nat 1 in not just the game, but in life in general. He would have not noticed the magenta-colored bird even if King was flying so close to his ear and breathing in it. No, he was in a complete state of panic and pain as he limped his way through the fields instead of going to the security station like he said he was going to with King trailing not far from him. King could see from his vantage point in the air an old, dilapidated. forgotten cabin, an unpainted, dingey gray building with a dark roof that was slumped and looked like it was slowly caving in on itself. This seemed to be where Bill was heading towards.

Meanwhile, Princess was having some slight issue with Tristan's order. There were two trails that had King's scent: one that led to King and the one that led to the Pokemon that was covered in King's feathers. However, it seemed like she was able to find the right trail, which after about five minutes led to a large, empty ditch though really it was an empty irrigation channel where the water is shared between farms though judging by how dry it was it was pretty plain to see it had not been used in years. Princess could smell that the trail continued down in the old irrigation cannel. They would need to go down it.


@Sanguine Rose

In her desperate attempt to catch the Rowlet, Faye threw a Pokeball at the bird with as much force as she could muster. The ball smacks against the top of the bird's head and is absorbed in a beam of red light. It lands and begins to roll.

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



"Huh, not bad. I was expecting it to floor you, but I suppose you're a bit better than I expected." The young farmgirl said with a smirk. She looked as if she had been thoroughly entertained and at least in a good mood again. "By the way, I realized I never introduced myself. The name is Rosa Andersen." She said holding her hand out for a handshake. If Faye were to reciprocate, it would feel like her hand was caught in a calloused vice.

"If you ever need a place to crash for the night after adventuring and all, just head over to Frida's Ranch. My parent's own it and if you tell them that I told you to come they'll probably be cool with it. They're nice folk. Pa is especially a big ol' softie so he may even let you get away with getting a Pokemon from our ranch if you ask nicely enough."

What does Faye do now?

Sage is just getting pelted by the leafy projectiles, taking a chunk of damage though not enough to take him down just yet. In an effort to obscure itself, the Eevee obscured itself with Sand Attack to kick up a pretty impressive cloud of dust and hid in it, which resulted the onslaught of projectiles to cease. It just kept itself in the air in place, flapping its wings as it squinted its eyes to scan for any shadows or such in the cloud of dust moving about though it failed to see a thing. What happened next was that Sage burst out of the cloud of dust and smashed his head into the leafy owl. The Rowlet lost its balance in the air and fluttered its wings violently to regain its equilibrium and land on its feet.

The bird was beginning to glow a deep, forest green aura as it became apparent that it was becoming exhausted from the hits. If it were not for the fact that the Eevee's attack was lowered, that last Tackle may have taken it down though because of that it had triggered the Rowlet's ability, Overgrow. When at a low enough HP, the ability increases all grass type attacks by 50%, which was very much apparent by the next Leafage it used. The leaves were larger, and they rocketed towards Sage with an even greater force than before.

Let's assume that Sage landed back in the cloud of dust after using Tackle. Lucky for Sage, the dice were on his side. Since the cloud of dust obscured the Rowlet's target, the leaves just whiffed by the Eevee and leave Faye with an opportunity to react. It was preparing to attack again.

"A Ralts huh?"

The Breeder mulled over in silent at Jason's question, mainly doing his best to remember what exactly Ralts compatibility was. Eventually, he did speak up.

"Well, for someone that has yet to get a badge the only moves that your Ralts are compatible with that I can teach are Swift and Shock Wave. Each would cost 750 P though the stronger ones that become available from your badges will be of a higher price. If that doesn't tempt you, perhaps I can offer you something from the catalogue that would tempt you for your other team members?" said the Breeder, pushing a list of moves that he could currently offer to someone with no gym badges.



If this does not interest him, then what does he do?

"As much as I would like to show you around, I do have to get back to Starbor. Being a gym leader is cool and all, but it comes with its own set of responsibilities. It was great to meet you though Stell! When you get to Starbor, you better tell me!"

She had a wide grin on her face and when they said their goodbyes, Stella was soon by herself again and to save time, we'll say that she decided to walk through the floral and music filled streets of the town until she soon found herself in the Pokemon Center and greeted by the kindly smile of one of the many Nurse Joys in the Evig region.

"Welcome to the Florasong Pokemon Center. Let me take care of your Pokemon." After sitting around for a few minutes, she was called up to the counter to retrieve her now healthy Pokemon. "Here are your Pokemon. Thank you for coming!"

Just as she was about to leave, she looked as if she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, our Move Tutor services has returned. If you are interested, please go to the counter on my left." Nurse Joy said, motioning towards another counter where a breeder was standing behind.

"Right. With any luck, we'll find whatever it is with everyone working together. I'll see you out there." said Bill, rushing out of the barn as fast as he could to go find his employer. Everyone that was in that room knew that if they found whatever this thing was and caught it then they would probably find whoever it was working with. Time was of the essence now that the creature knew it was found out so everyone would have to work quickly, including the criminal that partnered with it.

The only ones left now who were not on the search for this thing was now just Tristan and Robbie, both who were still in the barn. At the mere suggestion of having King travel along with Robbie, the young farmer's face flashed with panic.

"No!" That 'no' sounded far more desperate than what Robbie had meant judging by the look of shock on his own face. For Princess, she could tell that whatever veneer of calm that this man had was beginning to crack though he seemed to regain his composure and smiled embarrassedly. "I mean, that won't be necessary. I'll ask Hurley if I can use the cameras to help look instead. It'll slip up, eventually. Good luck to you though."

As fast as he could, he limped his way out of the barn.

Lucky for Ame, the Mimikyu did not lash out at her, but instead flinched as soon as her hand patted its (the costume's?) head simply because it was so unused to any forms of kindness and affection that it was not used to the touch of another. It looked up at her with a confused expression on its obscured face and even more so when it was picked up. It was so surprised that it did not have any time to react or protest to being picked up, but it was soon huddled against the weak Ratata to comfort it while she carried the two Pokemon off in the box out of the alley. So, there was now just an alley filled with Kalosian bistro cuisine just sitting there randomly. Free food for the other wild mons?

Anyway, Amelia found herself at the nearest Pokemon Center and when she entered, she is greeted by the friendly smile of the city's Nurse Joy. "Welcome to the Grand Glort City Pokemon Center. Let me take care of your Pokemon." Amelia would hand over the injured Ratata and just hang around the lobby with her shiny companion and depression incarnate. While they were waiting for the Ratata, they could see a child sobbing about his missing Pokemon with his mother kneeling down and gentling stroking his hair.

Eventually, the Nurse Joy calls Amelia to pick up the injured Ratata. The little fella seemed to be full of energy again, no longer feeble. Its ears perked up at the sound of the sobbing, as if it was familiar to it and rushed to the child who then squealed with absolute delight. "Chewy!" He picked up the purple rat and the mother approached Amelia with a smile. "Were you the one to find my son's Pokemon?"

Meanwhile, the Mimikyu was hiding behind Amelia. It wasn't out of fear of the woman, but more that most people aren't fond of these sorts of Pokemon.
