>>7511068
Ask the Human how long until we reach land.

>>7511068
Ask seviper to join force and kick ass!

After it commented on wanting to know what killed it's master (previous thread), we say this to Seviper:

"It was that Monster from before that killed him. You saw what he tried to do with THIS human. I don't trust humans myself, but that....THING, back there - whatever it was - it will pay for what it's done: to your Master and all the other Masters and their Pokemon that died in that place. This I swear to you."

>>7511115
Seviper nods at that, accepting it. "You're very young, but I sense that you're very strong of will as well."
As he says this, you think you can hear faint laughter somewhere in your mind.

>>7511115
This. Also seconding the idea from the very end of last thread about catching ourselves in a pokeball and then burying/smashing it so that we can never be caught.

>>7511154

God, whatever it is, it is pretty strongly psychic...

>>7511156
Although if we smash it that might just make us recaptureable.

>>7511154 you think you can hear faint laughter somewhere in your mind

So is Seviper also a psychic type, or does the laughter sound like it's coming from the monster, or possibly the whateveritwas in the other pokeball?

>>7511154
Tell the Human to make for the nearest land at top speed. The creature is coming.

>>7511154
>As he says this, you think you can hear faint laughter somewhere in your mind.
....well THAT'S unsettling.

Anyway, now we exchange names while we ride in the boat.

COMMENCE CHARACTER NAMING, FELLOW QUESTERS!

>>7511182
Neither Seviper nor Sableye is psychic. The laughter definitely sounds like the voice you heard earlier.

>>7511190
My vote

Charmander: Chara
Magnemite: Mag
Snover: Sno
Seviper: Sev

Comments?

>>7511190
Well I'm all for naming ourselves, but shouldn't Snover and Magnemite choose their own names? And I'm sure that if Seviper or Sableye wanted names, they would have them already.

>>7511215
My comment is you are really unimaginative.

I seriously think that whatever this thing is, it wants out to go out into the world and "free" other pokemon. It wants to start a rebellion against humanity, and it is using our charisma, shininess, and feminine charms to wins the hearts of the other pokemon, before revealing its sinister goals.

>>7511235
Seconding very hard.

first drawfag (spritefag?) response.

Burn a mark of friendship on Seviper using EMBER!
Burn a mark of ownership on human female using EMBER!

>>7511231
Does Tits already have names for them? I was just trying to offer to make his job easier. A GM's job is hard enough.

>>7511235
>>7511268
I was going for something that was easy to remember and still representative of their person. If you have alternate ideas, feel free to submit them. That's why I opened up a vote after all. :/

>>7511307
We don't actually have any clue if it's porygon-z or not, although it does seem likely. But apart from that, good show anon.

For us, I'm not sure if we'd even want a name; do we even understand the concept of names other than that of our species? We haven't heard any humans talking about names and such. I don't see any reason short of an epiphany on why we should suddenly want a name.

Just for your peace of mind, nothing will happen until you decide on a course of action.

>>7511379
Typing "charmander" and other long pokemon names is exhausting.

>>7511379
So, you wanna go the deep, personal brotherhood route like the Gargoyles had? Just refer to each other as "brother, sister, friend, comrade, etc?"

.....that could work. Anyone else agree?

>>7511413
Ask the woman how far to landfall!
>>7511426
Sounds cool to me.

>>7511426
(fuck yeah, gargoyles. rewatching that at the moment.)

i vote for no names (as in refering to eachother as "charmander" or "snover". it's just simpler and will discourage newcomers otherwise.

This has been going on for ages.

Use the boat to go to Kanto.

Also name a pokemon Flee.

Tits, can we ask what level and moveset Seviper and Sableye have?

>>7511477
...wait. So you are or are not in favor of calling each other by our species name? Or are you saying to go with this "brother" and "sister" thing?

Personally, I just vote we keep it up like we have been; it's an extra few letters to type, it won't kill you.

>>7511477
>>7511451
>>7511426
Alright, no names it is.

Tits, we talk to Seviper and the others about a course of action once we get to the land. What does each of our comrades want to do once we're safely away?

>>7511491
Leave. Now.

>>7511520
Seviper is level 30 and knows Poison Tail, Screech, Glare, and Crunch. Sableye is unknown for now.

>>7511548
>level 30

Let's try to avoid making him regard us as an enemy. Not that I think we have to be worried about that too much, but still.

Shall we ask him if he thinks Sableye would like to come out and hear the grim news about his master?

>>7511548
Do not under any circustances antagonise Seviper.

>>7511578
Save that for later.

Let's go with >>7511535 for now, so we can know beforehand how to motivate our allies towards working together - not just for the group's goal, but for their own personal goals as well.

>>7511604
Alright. But we really should fill Sableye in sooner or later.

>>7511623
After we get off the boat and away from this human (if we end up wanting to leave her behind, she might be useful later on, or a potential ally to gather info on Human populations)

>>7511604
>>7511623
All right. You can see land ahead in the distance; it looks like you're heading for a cove of some kind. You can see small shapes circling around it, and beyond it, much taller and larger shapes (from the players' perception, it looks like the skyline of a city).

Also, I deem that you three gain two levels for surviving a dangerous threat. Charmander is now level 10, and Magnemite and Snover are level 9. Snover also learns Icy Wind.

>>7511683
And Charmander learns Smokescreen.

Ask Magnemite and Snover for an update, their perspective on the situation thus far

And damn if I can't help but think of Snover asa a White Mage (Except with a brown stripe instead of red/pink)

Crap, she's taking us to a city....
Guys, I don't like the feel of this. I've got a sneaking suspicion she's gonna take us back to her hideout where she'll have some "friends" waiting for her.

I vote we force her to stop somewhere outside the city.

>>7511697
Use EMBER to create concealing mist around the boat!

>>7511741
And right after we learned smokebom....screen?

>>7511768
That's the joke.

>>7511738
Anyway, I agree with this. Might be good to escape when possible before it's too late.

>>7511738
Well once she dock we can just get off and explore on our own or leave the city altogether. Though I admit this runs the risk of her trying and perhaps succeeding in making us stay.

>>7511738
Agreed.

>>7511817
And besides, we're 4 newly-freed, Trainerless Pokemon about to head into a MAJOR Human population.

It'd be like ringing the goddamn dinner bell.

If there's a consensus on trying to get her to stop, what do you do?

>>7511831
Yep, 5 pokemon, young, trainerless, and in the big city. The world is our mollusk of choice.

>>7511835
Growl at the Human and indicate that we want her to stop the boat - RIGHT NOW!

>>7511835
Ask her to avoid the population centers. If she refuses to try to take her Pokeballs and threaten her.

>>7511874
Can we try to ask her first, then move on to intimidation if she refuses?

We JUST LEARNT SMOKEBOMB

Seriously, walk out of the boat, smokebomb, GONE

>>7511905
.....Fine, but be ready to use force. I don't trust this Human.

....holy shit, I'm really getting into character now. I FUCKING LOVE YOU, /tg/!!!

>>7511915
>walk off the boat
>in the middle of a body of water
>drown/die as tail flame is exinguished
Derp

>>7511915

This seems like the appropriate choice. From there, we work to run to the hills.

>>7511935
I didn't mean right then and there, as soon as we're docked, derp

>>7511921
Oh definitely. I'm just saying that we might as well ask, since on the off-chance it works, we can leave on good terms. We don't need more enemies than necessary, and right now Porygon-Z seems like a big enough adversary to fill our quota.

>>7511944

Specification: When we reach the dock, we do this. Not right now.

>>7511905
>>7511921
>>7511878
A combination of this. You try getting her attention, asking her not to go into the city. The woman turns her head a bit.
"I need to report back to my employers, and there's no land anywhere else nearby except on the shore of the city. I can't think that you'd just want me to dump you in the ocean."

>>7511949
see
>>7511831
>>7511738

Low-level Pokemon characters + High Human population center = TPC (Total Party Capture)
GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!

>>7511965
Huh. I guess having her drop us off at the foot of the cliffs, if there is even any room ther, might not be the best thing.

So should we go with her to the dcks and then go our merry way, or try to force her to drop us off somewhere else out of the way?

>>7511965
....well crud. I could complain of railroading, but I won't.

We're gonna have to think of a way to gain the upper hand in case she betrays us... Any ideas guys?

>>7511965
Look. I don't know about you but I have seen those ball things you humans carry about and I don't exactly want to be stuck in one. Would you want to be stuck in one?

Snover, make an iceboat!
Seviper: Tail Propeller

PokePirates campaign!

>>7511984
I find that unlikely. There is no way for a random trainer to know that we aren't already caught; indeed most pokemon in a city are captured already and have trainers/partners. The exceptions might be Pidgy and other city-analogous pokemon like Zigzagoon taking the place of raccoons, but other than that we should be fine.

But we should be on guard and attempt to leave as soon as we can.

>>7512022
She smiles briefly. "My employers are trustworthy; they won't just capture you on a whim. And you did save my life."

>>7512058
"Do you need us to come with you? We'd really like to be on our way."

>>7512058
........alright, I say we go with her: FOR NOW.

Everybody, keep your guards up.

>>7512007
Well, smokescreen has the potential of being flammable. Rapidly expanding flames=explosion, especially in the case of fire with lots of fuel and accelerant. We should check the flammability of smokescreen.

In any case, we could always use it as what it is, a cloud. Use magnemite as an eye in the sky and have snover fire razor leaf/powder snow/icy wind through it.

>>7512077
"Where do you want to go? This is a dangerous world, and my employers are some of the few scrupulous people who have any power."

>>7512084
And if we *have* to make a getaway, we have smokescreen now.

Speaking of which, good show with letting significant events grant level-ups/exp OP. Means we hopefully won't have to grind against wild mons.

>>7512096
I'm fairly certain that SMOKEscreen is made of SMOKE.

>>7512124
"We want to be free. We don't want to be servants or guinea pigs like we were back in that awful place."

>>7512124
(Man, we're really good at pantomiming!)

We have our own agenda. We have to stop that pokemon. And we're looking for someone. She's very special to us, even though we haven't seen her yet.

>>7511723
seriously, i'm tired enough to just keep on making sprites out of what people say.

>>7512142
Smog, on the other hand...

>>7512178
Fuck yeah

>>7512176
>>7512147
Combine these

>>7512147
>>7512176
"Very well. You're certainly under no obligation to me; as soon as I finish my report, I'll take you wherever you want to go." The boat slows down as it pulls into the cove; from here, you can see the smaller shapes circling it were humans riding Pokemon, probably Wailmers. The boat moves more slowly into the entrance of a cave inside one of the cliffs.

>>7512209
They had best be surfing with consent! But thank you for your unusually kind offer. But don't even think about trying any funny business.

>>7512234
>But don't even think about trying any funny business.
Leave that part out. Hiding our distrust is the better part of discretion - "discretion is the better part of valor"

If all goes well, we may actually have a human ally

>>7512266
Oh NOW you want us to be nice and look towards getting friends. Heh, sorry, looks like I manage to guess the disposition of the playerbase wrongly every time.

>>7512314
At this point, we're only going to go along with the Human's actions, as she's the one with the ability to drive the boat. We're playing along with her whims but in reality we're using her - whether she becomes a true ally or a pawn in our schemes will have to be proven later on.

>>7512234
>>7512266
"They are, trust me." She slows down to a stop at a large metal dock inside the cave. From inside the boat, you can see people moving around, and has the dark cockpit window recedes, you can see that they're all wearing the same outfit; black-and-white striped shirts, blue pants, and blue bandannas.

>>7512350
We tell the others that we'll follow this human for now until we see a chance to escape to freedom. Until then, stick together, keep your eyes open, and stay on guard.

>>7512350
Hmm, the blue bananas make me think Team Aqua, but for all I know they could be Pokemon Rangers; as I've said, I know almost nothing about 4th generation.

>>7512348
Ah, gotcha.

so wait... we can actually speak english/common/whathave you now? some sort of gift from the mystery evil pokeman?

>>7512405
Meh, just roll with it

>>7512405
This particular woman is skilled at understanding the language of Pokemon, relatively speaking. And you've picked up on English.

i say we just follow her along to meet her bosses, this is the first human to show us kindness, and i imagine we're so awed/scared of the city that it seems to daunting to go out by ourselves.

may i remind everyone that we're a SHINY charmander, if normal pokemon are at risk of capture if they wonder around by themselves, what do you think is going to happen to a super rare one?

>>7512420
>This particular woman is skilled at understanding the language of Pokemon, relatively speaking. And you've picked up on English.

Oooooh the possibilities.....
I sense a VALUABLE potential ally.

>>7512417

THIS IS /TG/ WE ARGUE ABOUT INANE STUFF!

>>7512420

K. Just curious.

1rst order of business
Charmander needs tiny sunglasses and a tiny leather coat

>>7512445
I... actually hadn't thought about that when I wrote >>7512042
I guess that's just another point in favor of going along with this for now.

>>7512464
lol, gonna go out and have a gang war with the Squirtle Squad? Only to develop a mutually friendly rivalry and eventual alliance?

FORM RESISTANCE
FIND OTHER GROUPS
COMBINE AND FORGE AN INTER-GLOBAL ARMY OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS

One of people on deck walks down to see the woman in the boat, who hops out and gives a brief salute. The woman says something that's a bit too far out of range and fast for you to hear, although it does involve gesturing at you. The other woman that she's talking to looks around at the four of you, then pulls out a Poke Ball; out from it jumps a Poochyena, who walks over to you, seeming to bow slightly.
"Welcome to the Team Aqua base."

>>7512508
.....cool

Also, PARTY RIVAL

>>7512508
Good Idea: Get a leather jacket
Bad idea: Make Poochyena into a leatherjacket

>>7512508
Do introductions etc.

>>7512508
i'm seeing more and more "bad team" pokemon about, prepare to engage operation "walk into plot device"

Team Aqua?

Well... Balls.

For the un-informed, they're a group from Pokemon 3rd generation. Depending upon what game you're playing they're either the good guys or the bad guys, but basically operate in a similar fashion to Team Rocket, but don't go about capturing every wanton Pokemon without a reason if it promotes their goals (flooding the world with Kyogre, a Water-type that can control the oceans).

>>7512508
Hey, I was right! Wait... is this pre- or post-realizing that their plans have consequences and toning it down a notch? Because while they might not have been as anti-pokemon evil as Team Rocket even at their worst, they were still kinda jerks.

Sorry for the meta, I'm just curious. Heck, even knowing that it's team Aqua doesn't assure us that this is Hoenn. Just as Team Rocket had bases in Johto and Kanto, so too could Aqua spread to other regions.

Regardless, I suppose we should thank him for his courtesy. Unless it's a she, in which case change that sentence as needed.

>>7512552

Depending on weather the OP played ruby or sapphire will depend on weather or not team aqua is good/evil. In ruby, aqua is a pretty cool group, and magma is a bunch of evil retards, and vice versa in sapphire.

>>7512548
You go for introductions. Magnemite and Snover both acknowledge the Poochyena, but Seviper doesn't; he gives it (its gender isn't clear yet) a disdainful glance.
The Poochyena nods. "If you would follow me? My mistress would like me to explain this world to you, you being so young."

>>7512566
(Hence the reason we stay free agents. Gives us the chance to work with them when it suits us, but not help them if they plan on doing something dangerous)

I second >>7512548

>>7512587
Follow the Poochyena

>>7512587
Follow.

@ helpful /co/mrade: Time to let Sableye out, or wait until we're not in the middle of stuff?

>>7512587
damn, i'm totally imagining this poochyena giving us a nazi-style indoctrination speech.

best mental image ever

Keep everyone rolling spot checks.

I don't wanna be surprised...

>>7512636
(save him in case we need a trump card)

>>7512637
And now I'm imagining the Poochyena doing a Nazi-style march as it walks with all four legs.

You're right, this mental image is awesome.

>>7512618
>>7512636
>>7512637
You do indeed follow the Poochyena, leading you through the metallic corridors until you reach a room that looks sort of like a gym, with a large pool. Several Water Pokemon, mostly Carvanha, are swimming in it. The Poochyena stops next to it.
"Perhaps you would like to ask me what you want to know?"

PS: I personally imagine the Poochyena as having a Russian accent, but the Nazi thing works too.

i <3 poochyena.

>>7512637
wild hitleryena appeared

>>7512670
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Russian Poochyana! I like it!

Let's ask it about these small sphere that can carry pokemon (pokeballs).

>>7512670
Ask the Poochyena where we are, who these Humans are, what they're doing here, and if they can be trusted.

>>7512670

My "Dr. Evil trap" alarm is going off.

>>7512700
So... he's our long-lost brother who was seperated at birth and raised by the Dutch, thus turning evil?

>>7512695
Is this acceptable?

>>7512736

We are standing next to a pool. Filled with what are essentially very large pirahnas. That evolve into sharks.

>>7512736
I think he meant the pool full of what are effectively piranhas.

>>7512746
by all means

>>7512756

Second.

>>7512750
Fricken sharks with fricken lazers on their fricken heads?

Sorry, I'll stop pushing the Austin Powers references. But yeah, now I get it.

>>7512746
Yes, but can we add >>7512690 ?

>>7512670

Ask about his plans for the world, it'll reveal his character well.

Also, Poochyena would have a Leon Kennedy voice.

"You're small time Charizard!"

>>7512750
"Do they have laser beams attached to their heads?"

>>7512796
>>7512788

Sharpedos can learn hyper beam...

>>7512756
>>7512775
"You are in the headquarters of Team Aqua, benevolent protectors of the land of Hoenn from the ravages of the monstrous Team Magma. Their base here is protecting the city from Magma attacks; their forces are strong, but they've never managed to harm us here."

>>7512796
Dude, I just did that one!

>>7512811
So pre-patching up their differences and learning to co-exist. Curses. May we ask what this place it? With all the big blocky things and people? Does it have a name?

>>7512810
"Oooh, that sounds like a neat trick."

>>7512811
Who leads these Humans? What are they like? What are their goals?

>>7512812
"Yes, but, mine's better - because it has a reaction pic to go with it!" *sticks out tongue*

>>7512840
"The base is located next to Lilycove City. A 'city' is a place where a great deal of humans dwell, often living with Pokemon."
>>7512873
"Our leader's name is Archie. Once, Team Aqua's goal was to expand the sea, to give more room for Water Pokemon to live, but... times have changed. Now, we simply seek to defend the people and Pokemon of Hoenn from Team Magma."

>>7512796
>>7512788
>>7512810
who needs hyper beam when you can just sprite them?
seriously though, this sprite turned out terribly, ignore it.

>>7512907
"I see. I would like very much to meet this 'Archie', if that is possible..."

>>7512903
Sad now...

But wait, isn't Sharpedo's attack lower then it's Sp. Attack? So Hyper Beam might not be as good as, say, Surf. Especially when you take STAB into account, plus it doesn't need to recharge.

>>7512923
I love you.

>>7512907
Oh-ho! I am pleasantly surprised by this news.

"Can we meet with this 'Archie'? It seems like our initial conceptions of humans may (or may not) have been skewed."

>>7512907

"what of team rocket?"

Also, who wants an IRC channel? Put less bullshit comments in the thread, despite how hilarious they are. Ill make one: rizon#charmanderquest

>>7512907

Do you have any specific enemies besides Magma?

>>7512967
But then we can't archive it on suptg later...

>>7512925
>>7512955
The Poochyena pauses. "Perhaps, but you may find it more fruitful to speak with his Pokemon. Archie is a skilled trainer, but few humans can understand the speech of Pokemon who aren't trained by them well."

>>7512967
How do I join IRC?

>>7512967
If we do go on IRC, it'll be through suptg. That's the only route that I have the patience to learn.

Do people want this?

>>7512992

http://www.rizon.net/index.php?do=chat for a browser client, or you can download an irc standalone client. I personally use VisualIRC

>>7512988

"Then I suppose we should meet them."

>>7512967
best to skip an irc chat for now, there aren't really enough people to warrent it, anything we want to say we can comfortably say here

>>7512988
"Very well. Would you please take us back to the Human we came with (we DID separate from her at this point, right?)? They seemed to have the ability to understand our speech, and would be able to translate between us and your Great Leader Archie."

>>7513005
No, Keep it on /tg/

>>7513005
I'd prefer to keep it here. At least here we can post pics to use for references when we need to.

>>7513023
This. But with a Russian accent.

I personally like IRC. Though this thread probably does have too few people to warrant it right now.

As for using the suptg server, thats probably fine. Its just that everyone seems to use rizon.

>>7513023
>>7513046
"I fear that she will have left by this point. She doesn't belong to Team Aqua; she is part of Team Nightfall, another organization that sometimes does jobs for us for pay."

>>7513072
"That is a shame. Is there a way for us to communicate directly with your leader? Perhaps another Human that possesses the skill to speak our language?"

The way I see it, if we're filling up the threads with game-relevant chat then having to go through 2-3 threads per session is a good thing. It means that people are interested and immersing themselves in the game. I would say that as long as that's the case, taking up multiple threads is, if not a good thing, then certainly not a bad thing.

We need to have someone case out the joint, see if there's anything they don't want us to see while the rest meet with Archie.

>>7513072
"How... odd. She had promised to take us somewhere once she had finished her report. This is quite disconcerting."

>>7513122
"Did she? In that case, she may have stayed behind."

>>7513101
>We need to have someone case out the joint, see if there's anything they don't want us to see while the rest meet with Archie.
>Translation: We need to split up the party

>>7513072
we have no intention of joining any group yet, and judging by the [evil death trap] nearby, we really don't fancy joining this one.
Nervously try to make excuses for leaving and hope that they let us.

>>7513139
"Well then, unless time is of more importance than we thought, shall we check back and see if she is indeed still here? As I suggested, she could perhaps help us speak with Archie."

>>7513139
"Let us see if she is. We would like to at least thank her personally for her part in our rescue. Not every human would go out of their way to save our kind."

>>7513161
"You may, although his own Pokemon could translate as well."

>>7513151

This. Learn more, show interest but resist joining.

Potential for profit with this "Team Nightfall" thing.

Possibly a conflict in the making, gotta pick the right side...

>>7513183
Smart anon is Smart. Glad to see another thinker in our midst.

>>7513176
see
>>7513172

>>7513183
The right side is whichever side can help us the most, right?

>>7513207

Us or those we care about. Politics are just profit. But good idea to keep a watch on them in case there's something going on we don't know about...Team Rocket could be in here somewhere. Those slavers...

>>7513207
i don't think so, the right side for now represents physical protection (shiny pokemon/potential team rocket members hunting us later) and emotional solidarity (for now this would be the woman we met, since she was friendly and helped us out)

>>7513254
Right. The right side is that which can offer us those things.

>>7513241
Bad Guy List:
1) Evil Pokemon BBEG
2) Team Rocket

>>7513194
Is there a consensus for this, or do you want to go and see Archie?

>>7513280
Yeah, let's check up on/thank the nice lady. Maybe see if we can get a name?

>>7513280
See if the woman is still around first.

>>7513269
The moon
That bad pokemon that chases mommy's tail fire away for x hours every day

>>7513300
>>7513306
You say this. The Poochyena nods, then leads you back out into what looks like a lounge, where the Nightfall woman is waiting. She smiles at you when she sees you, standing up.
"Are you ready to go?"

>>7513300
>Maybe see if we can get a name?

Trying to hook up with the ladies already and we're only a few hours old. Kids today, they grow up so fast... *sniff*

>>7513323
"We heard that you might have left already and just wanted to make sure you hadn't. And... thank you for your kindness so far. We are hoping to speak to Archie before leaving; he seems like a good person to know."

>>7513340
Not what I meant. Not that I meant!

>>7513323
"We would like to thank you for saving us from the Monster that killed all those people. Tell me, why did you decide to let us come with you?"

>>7513351
>>7513376
"Well, you did save my life. Whatever that thing was, it would have either blown up my boat or trapped me in that lab without your warning."

>>7513323
THIS WAS SO MUCH SIMPLER THAN EXPECTED!
ask where we are going to, i doubt that we wouldn't want to go there though.
actually, scrap that, say that we're hungry, i've had an image of the group eating icecream with this lady ever since she turned up
(also ask her name, but i'm worried i'll look overenthusiastic if i ask for anything else)

>>7513362

>>7513394
"Well, thank you anyway. We appreciate it, all of us. Before we leave, we would like to speak with the leader of this group - this 'Archie' character. Would you do us the honor of translating for us?"

This is the lady

>>7513422
Mmmmm, I'd let her capture my Pokeballs anytime - if you get what I mean.

So, we have a more or less free moment. Have we decided what we're doing about Sableye?

>>7513421
Archie does nothing for us, what are our goals, we want to gather more friends, and we need to help Seviper and Sableye (which we need to talk with and let know what's going on) avenge their master, whatever we want to accomplish is compromised by the pokemon BBEG, since he will do nothing but create a war if he has his way, War=/=freedom.

>>7513453
I vote we stay with the lady, let Sableye in on what's happening, and have the lady help us understand the world around us a little more. Making a friend of a human, and a trainer at that, would be a boon, right now we are just to weak to really do anything else.

>>7513453
True, but the Poochyena vouched for him. If this human is like the one that saved us, or as well-meaning as Poochyena claims, he could be a valuable ally in the future.

And we now realize we're being tsundere for the lady

>>7513487
who we can just go and visit later if we deem Aqua as meeting our needs. Right now isn't the time for our group to get involved with any other group and their interests, we already have enough on our plates. This woman doesn't seem to be involved with the group directly, and as a mercenary she'll have less constricted opportunities, with her, we don't hedge our bets.

Frankly, we need to know why this chick was at the lab first, and if that brings up something that would lead us to want to talk with Archie, then we see him, but I'm more concerned why they hired mercenaries to tackle a Rocket lab.

>>7513547
>I'm more concerned why they hired mercenaries to tackle a Rocket lab.

Exactly, we should take this chance now to ask him personally - especially since we have a getaway ride waiting for us if anything goes wrong.

>>7513605
they wanted shinnies

its obvious

>>7513605
talking with him causes us potential problems, especially since we can just get that information from the woman.

the inherent risk (and keep in mind Seviper doesn't like Aqua, he is a potential ally, and one that will help keep us from being pokeball'd) isn't worth the reward, especially since we can gain our reward (the information we want) through the woman. Go with the woman and get some icecream, have her tell us what's going on, and for god sakes, let Sableye in on what's happening, it's only right.

My vote, we leave Aqua alone for right now. We can come back to them later if we need to.

>>7513645
>>7513657
Alright, excellent points.

We tell the woman that we'll go with her. As everyone gets back on the boat, tell Poochyena that we'll return to meet 'Archie' soon.

Quick question. Why do we think that we will have the leader of a powerful organization waiting on our beck and call, or however the expression goes?

>>7513723

Shinnies
They're treated like stars

And Charmanders
They ARE stars
So that's like star power squared

>>7513683
You do all this. The Poochyena bows. "We will be waiting. Farewell."
The woman stands up, stretching. "Let's go, then."

>>7513723
We don't.
But, it wouldn't hurt to know more about him. He's a Human with power, and a 'good' Human according to his subordinates. If anything, we could attempt a mutual partnership. Live and let live, watch each other's backs, exchange info, etc.

>>7513723
exactly, so we avoid them, we're just "lowly trainerless" pokemon right now. We need to focus on understand the world and what's going on, and work on helping our newly trainerless friends out and stopping the BBEG pokemon. But right now, this woman needs to buy us food for saving her and have a nice chit chat for awhile.

>>7513740
Before we enter the boat, we call back to the Poochyena and ask it's name (for future reference and/or to determine their gender, establish a familiar contact within Team Aqua)

>>7513740
okay, ask who she is, mention we need to talk to Sableye and let it know what's going on, but we can take care of that while we stop for some food. I'm guessing we're all fucking hungry.

>>7513790
meh, we don't need that, they'll recognize a shiny charmander.

>>7513821
But we might not recognize a generic Poochyena. (besides, we need SOME info on this thing)

>>7513803
>>7513790
these. (although I think that Poochie is just biased)

i was just starting to make a sprite of our cool ice cream woman and i realized that the only description of her was "woman wearing a dark outfit with a spiky crescent logo on it"
What are your mental images of her at the moment? it would be nice to get a more distinct one for the canon (and so i can do this sprite properly).
(only reply as part of another message, don't clog this up too much)

>>7513790
Nicknames are for humans to recognize Pokemon more easily. Pokemon can tell the difference between other Pokemon via other senses.

>>7513870
Can we get a gender then? Other than that, we'll go with the woman in the boat.

>>7513869
Her uniform is similar to a Rocket one, but utterly black, not just gray. As for her, she... has shoulder-length dark hair with a slight greenish tint, fairly pale skin, and blue eyes.

>>7513869
I just figured she looks like Jessie, but kind of not like her. You know what I'm saying?

>>7513889
it's not important, just let the GM do his thang now.

ONWARD WITH THE STORY TITS!!

>>7513889
The Poochyena is male.
The woman leads you back to the boat. "My name is Sarina, by the way."

>>7513869
?

>>7513934
okay, we let Sableye know what's up when we get back to the boat.

>>7513934
"Char-an-a"
Closest Charmander can pronounce it

>>7513934
grr that's my ex-fiance's name, thanks for the rush of bad memories Tits, her description is even similar minus the green tint :(

>>7513934
"An honor to journey with you, Sarina. Please, lead on."

Poochie
"I LIVE to serve Team Aqua!" - in a Russian accent

If there's no objections, you return to the boat, and Seviper releases Sableye, who confusedly glances around the boat and cavern. "What? Where are we?"

Release and explain situation to Sableye.

>>7514026
nudge Seviper and mention that he should probably be the one to explain.

>>7514026
see>>7514035

Have Seviper corroborate and confirm.

>>7513972
I think I'll quote Rya here:

"I just want you to know that no one has ever cared about anything you have to say and that is not about to change."

I don't *care* about your personal life, and if you're going to post the least you could do is not sage.

>>7514048
This.

>>7514048
>>7514057
>>7514076
Seviper tells all. Sableye is visibly upset, but is clearly trying to control it. She then turns to you.
"You're in charge here?"

>>7514069
listen retard, the sage was a kind way of not bumping the thread to the limit with a comment that did nothing to further the conversation. THAT is what sage is for dipshit, like I am doing now, it has nothing to do with whether or not I like the thread, /b/ (which I'm guessing where you first learned about sage) does it wrong. one post negates every sage before it.

so before you spout off your stupid drivel, make sure you sage so it doesn't bump a thread when it doesn't need to be. fucktard.

>>7514096
"That is indeed the case. My condolences for your recent misfortune."

>>7514100
Not that I agree with that guy on the first part, but doesn't sage count against the post limit? 4chan faq has this to say:

What is "sage"?

Entering "sage" (by itself) into the [E-mail] field while replying will cause the thread not to bump to the top of the page, while still counting against its reply count. Threads that reach their reply limit can no longer be bumped, causing them to sink to the back pages and be pruned more quickly.

>>7514096
errr, I guess you could say that. I would prefer to go with the term "caring friend". We're here for you Sableye *hugs*.

Ask the lady what was going on now, why was she there, what was Rocket doing, does she have any idea what experiments they were running?etc...

>>7514096
Nobody has made any claim for leadership yet, but so far we are all alive because of the decisions I have made and our combined efforts. If you'll trust me like the others, I'll ensure that you'll get your revenge on the one who killed your master - for it is what we ALL want. We are all joined in fellowship against the Monster."

>>7514108

Second.

>>7514100

Well, if your comment was unrelated, why did you fucking post it. You also totally could have just bamped the thread anyway.

>>7514143
it doesn't count against post count unless they changed it, it's always been that way. it's why you post sage for offtopic matters, such as what you posted, it keeps the thread from hitting autosage with irrelevant material.

>>7514154
>>7514145
A combination of these. Sableye tentatively returns your hug; she then gets a hug from Snover. Sarina smiles while watching this, then turns to you for your question.
"We didn't know what Team Rocket was up to; we were just there to scout their base. They're a very powerful force; they effectively control two countries already, and Team Aqua didn't like the idea of their having a sea base so close to Hoenn."

Less sage, more quest. What are Sableye's stats?

>>7514212
Testing; when Tits posted his lastes post there were 225 replies. Let's see how many there are once this hits.

>>7514227
okay, what did you find out? I mean, all of our hatchmates were down there, this is awful.

>>7514227
"Where are we going now?"

>>7514247
227 after I posted the sage. Sorry dude, looks like it does effect the post count. 1 post count for my sage post, one for the anon who posted before it.

>>7514227
"But we saw the two men with uniforms like yours trying to take some of the eggs!"

>>7514270
(Ix-nay on the Ccusations-say!)

>>7514236
>>7514236

>>7514270
"I doubt they would; I think they were just looking around the room."

Also, since this thread is going to autosage shortly; how much longer will you regulars be awake?

>>7514212

Read the fucking faq.

Also, we must decide our next course of action. Where do we want to travel to? What do we actually want to do?

>>7514289

Ill be awake atleast two more hours. possibly longer depending on how long a thread goes.

>>7514289
(I can go for another 3-4 hours.)
"Oh, well that makes sense."

>>7514286
I was just curious; if there were traitors agong her coworkers she should know. Granted, knowing Team Rocket and the nicer Team Aqua, they probably would have been better off if they had been taken. Especially considering the poison gas.

>>7514289
About the same as >>7514315 , but I'd be okay if we took a break for tonight while our characters are sailing to wherever we're going. Getting HUUUNNNGRY! ;__;

seems I was wrong, it used to be the other way, I promise, it's why sage bombing a thread was so stupid. but, meh, it's whatever, learn something new/different every day.

anyway, I'm off to bed for the night. thanks for the thread Tits.

>>7514303
>>7514315
>>7514320
All right. I think I'll end this thread here; we're close to the autosage limit as it is, and I'd like to get something to eat and take a shower. I'll make the sixth thread when I come back, hopefully a bit more awake.

finally finished, that took some working.
SARINA with her fashionable HAT and BLUEBERRY ICE CREAM.
i wasn't sure how exactly the symbol worked, this way seemed the most simple and striking.
(quickpostbeforethreadfinishes)

>>7514352
Any chance you could give us a general ETA for getting back? One hour, two, ...?

>>7514352
Don't you get tired? What like 4 threads today?

>>7514352
too late :(

>>7514405
Dude...you rock...

>>7514409

this is only the second today.

Three yesterday. What i am more curious about is as to when the OP will run this quest? weekends? Everyday?

>>7514473
We'll have to make a point of asking him when the next thread show up. Would somebody mind archiving this thread and keeping it from 404ing so that they can link the new thread at the bottom? I'm going to do the same as Tits and get a shower and some food.

>>7514473
I hope not everyday. Every quest that tries to go for every day non-stop ends up disappearing, usually due to the OP getting burned out or loosing interest. I'd rather have this to look forwards to once or twice a week at a set day/time then have it go five days back-to-back and then stop abruptly in the middle of the adventure.

My two cents.

>>7514489
It's already up. And remember: If you vote it, they will come.

>>7514494

Yeah, every day is probably bad.

Though I am considering running my own quest. "Vana'diel quest: Adventures in the world of Finaru Fantasy Ereven"

Also, as i asked before, what the hell do we do now?

>>7514529
Bump the thread every half-hour or so until Tits comes back, then link the new thread at the bottom.

PLEEEAAASE?

>>7514566
I could do a Sableye dump if necessary.

>>7514566
Oh Ed, you so crazy.

>>7514608
Eh, we only have about 10-15 posts before autosage; I'd suggest against it, but we can ride the autosage for a few hours. Up to you I guess.

>>7514608
That would be most appreciated! Have a pretty girl for your troubles!

>>7514660
Okay.

>>7514645
Apologies.

>>7514694
Hey, no prob. I was just worried 'cause helpful /co/mrade was saying he was hoping it would stay bumped for the next hour; if he's down with this, then so am I.

There are two reasons why Sableye is one of my favorites:

1. It's Dark/Ghost, and thus has no type weakness.

2. >It digs branching holes in caves using its sharp claws in search of food--raw gems. A Sableye lurks in darkness and is seen only rarely.

>>7514761
>That greentext just failed.

Oh, well. Continuing.

>>7514831

FUCK YOU DUSKNOIR!

I'm back, fa/tg/uys and ca/tg/irls. New thread: >>7514860
