>>29442632 old thread

"Well..." you twirl your fork, "Maybe I could help you out."

He looks you in the eyes, looking for the trap or joke, but at the time not dismissing you outright.

"I could train you, I mean."

Robin is listening intently, but still concentrating very hard on drinking her water.

"It's the least I could do." You finish. He can finally sense that you're being serious, and it's probably not an offer that will last very long. "I," he starts, considering his options. He looks at his reflection in the cafeteria window, then turns to you again. "I accept."

"Good! But it's not a free ride. Firstly, I'll need you to do everything I say." You make sure he looks you in the eyes for emphasis. "Everything."

He nods in agreement. He must assume you can be trusted with such a thing. He might not be as bright as you thought.

"Second, you're paying for my food."

Robin stops drinking and gives you a disapproving look. "Kat."

"OK fine," you reply to her. She continues to drink her water. "You're paying for Robin too." Robin starts choking on her water. She's unable to object with her new coughing fit.

"Third," You decide to wrap this up before Robin recovers. Vance braces himself. "When you and I have accomplish our goals, I'm challenging you to an all out battle."

He lets out a hearty laugh. He gets up from the table, and gives you a polite bow. "I better agree before you add anything else." He jokes. "Thank you, Kat."

"Alright alright. Don't get all weird on me." You dismissively wave him off. Robin looks happy, if uncomfortable to have Vance now be burdened with feeding her.

You look him over as he and Robin chat. He might not be a whole lot of fun, but you figure you can put him to good use. It might not be as easy as Robin (who is?) but with a little effort, you can wrap him around your finger. He's already become your new meal ticket. You hope it's worth any trouble he might be, as you watch him and Robin getting along.

"So how do you learn 'Pokemon styles' anyway?" He immediately drops his conversation with Robin. It seems that's ignited a passion in him. He describes how each Pokemon has a different way of moving, acting, and approaching things. "Machop is fairly easy. He's my only Pokemon, but we both have a similar body type, and outlook on life." You nod. That makes sense. "I've trained in the Arbok style," Me mimics the movement of a snake, and rapidly swipes a few bits of food off his place. "I've trained in the Bidoof," he demonstrates by doing a spinning kick in the air. Even without any martial arts knowledge, you can see a unique way that he moves, almost making his leg seem like a tail. "And I've studied the Bullet seed of the of the Hoppip." He puts the food in his mouth, and spits out seeds like a machine gun at the coincidental crosshair on a poster across the room.

He demonstrates various Pokemon Martial arts for awhile, and surprising yourself, you're already thinking of ways he can improve them. He still looks like an idiot, but he's an idiot you might be able to use. And maybe help out a little. Maybe.

But there'll be time for that later. You remember that you wanted to get some Pokemon supplies.

>Sell nugget. You'll probably get the best price here, but there might be questions.
Gold nuggets in caves are pretty common.
>>
>>29449567
I'm... conflicted. On one hand, young children randomly running across nuggets of pure gold in caves is a thing that happens in the Pokemon universe. On the other hand, your story sounds like it's trying to eliminate the more ridiculous stuff.
>>
>>29449567
Sell nugget, stock up.

"If you want to study how Pokemon move, there are two options: Observe them in the wild, or capture them and watch them fight. The latter is easier. Here!" Give him a newly-purchased Pokeball. "Go and catch a new Pokemon, one you haven't seen before. Don't worry, you can pay me for the ball later."
>>
>>29449567
Oh my god, Vance is a freaking blue mage. He needs to travel, not train. Our MC here can work out the improvements while he learns new moves.

Keep the nugget. Wait till we get a couple of badges to our name. Maybe we can barter it for something more valuable too.

I found it in a cave. Amazing what you can find lying around.

They're also easily lost and stolen, as we should know. Pokecredit is safe

You decide to sell the nugget.

"So you said you just found this in a cave with your Zubat?" Uh oh, he looks skeptical. "Huh. I knew there was a reason those scientists want to get back to digging the place up." Phew. "Listen, kid, I'll take this, but there isn't a cave around that you should be venturing into." You nod, and thank him for the advice. He offers a price that matches almost exactly what you expected. You're a bit familiar with the price of gold and jewelry, and this is better than what a fence could probably offer.

"So, you want that on your card, or did you want to spend it all here?"

The store has all sorts of Pokemon related things. There are Pokeballs, potions, antidotes, paralyze heals, burn heals, and even something call an Escape Rope. As far as you can tell, that's just a regular rope with better branding and a higher price though.

>>29450257

Buy a few more pokeballs and potions, and some escape rope why not
>>
>>29450257

Pokeballs and a few potions. Also some pokefood and a brush for Devon
>>
>>29450257
>Spend a little, keep the rest

Restock on status cures, and a few more potions. We probably don't need more pokeballs right now.
>>
>>29450257
Spend enough to get a few antidotes, paralyze heals, burn heals, Pokemon care equipment, and a few Pokeballs.
>>
>>29450257
Don't get any Escape Rope unless Robin tells us it's like magic or some shit.

I figure what it does in this game is it's either like a compass that's soaked in Repel, or you tie it off at the entrance and use it to find your way back out.
>>
>>29450340
>>29450257
And don't forget your own sleeping bag. Maybe get a polishing kit for based Zappy Dan and delicious snacks to give out when someone does well.
>>
>>29450257
>Spend the nugget's worth
Pokeballs, Potions, Antidotes, Paralyze Heals, Burn Heals, and A BACKPACK AND SLEEPING BAG.
>>29450340
Oh, and ask Robin about 'Escape Ropes'.
>>
>>29450257

get a paralyze heal, a burn heal, a couple more potions, a few pokeballs and ask about the escape rope. unless it has some magical properties allowing for instantaneous escape of caves, not really worth it.

though don't spend everything, we do need to buy some other gear, such as a sleeping bag.... maybe some more info on moves....
>>
>>29450257
>Oh god, I've been spending too much time on /k/ for all this nugget talk
>>
>>29450257
>Spend a little, keep the rest
Potions, restock on any status heals we used, couple pokeballs. No escape rope, if it works like the games it would kill the tension, if it doesn't it's a waste of money.
>>
>>29450257
>Spend everything but your cash
Primarily medical supplies and care items. Specifically potions, burn heal, and antidotes. And the regular stuff we should have so we don't look like a doofus, to care for our mons and actually be a cross-country traveler.

>>29450319
Always have at least a couple pokeballs on you, never know what you might run into.

>>29450282
>Only cowards use Repel.
Or people that have battled their mons to exhaustion and don't want to be eaten by wild rattata

super potions, full heals, and pokeballs

I figure what it does in this game is it's either like a compass that's soaked in Repel, or you tie it off at the entrance and use it to find your way back out.

I like that idea. I was just going to have it be regular rope but with a catchy jingle and billboards everywhere that people are just crazy for as recurring joke.

But maybe it's all of those. Under the wrapper is a small disposable compass, and the rope itself is thin but durable, giving you a lot of length you can use to find your way back.

Yup! Biodegradable of course. Pokemon has some very common environmentalism themes after all.
--------------------
You spend a little over half the nuggets worth, leaving you with a small but comfortable amount of digital currency.

You're able to get 6 pokeballs, 2 more potions, 2 paralyze heals, a burn heal, another antidote, and an escape rope.

As you ring everything up, the nurse announces that your Pokemon are fully healed.

You turn to Vance. "If you want to study how Pokemon move, there are two options: Observe them in the wild, or capture them and watch them fight. The latter is easier. Here!" You give him a newly-purchased Pokeball. "Go and catch a new Pokemon, one you haven't seen before. Don't worry, you can pay me for the ball later." With that, Vance takes his leave. He'll be out of your hair for awhile.

They don't carry sleeping bags or all that much for trainers here, but that does beg the question, where to next?

You decide to head over to the museum. Robin doesn't seem like she's in any particular hurry to go visit her dad, and you guess you aren't either right now. Your memories of the orphanage trip are vague and hazy. It looks different than what you can recall, but it's been a long time.

"This is one of my favorite places" Robin tells you. Well, that not a huge surprise, she's certainly the type.

As you two get closer to the building, you see a sign saying that a new entrance fee as been implemented. "They never used to have that" Robin comments.

It doesn't looks like there's a lot of security. You might be able to just sneak in.

You're feeling generious. That nugget got you some decent money, and you have the stolen cash still. You tell Robin to put her money away, you have this one. It's a small price to pay to see her smile in appreciation.

The door person thanks you for your patronage as you make your way in. Robin looks like a giddy little schoolgirl. She shows you all around, explaining her favorite exhibits. Most of it would be pretty boring, but her passion for the subjects makes them stick out. You get to the fossil wing. She starts explaining how the museum has these machines for reviving old fossils into real life Pokemon. There's one that sticks out. Appearantly it's called a Cranidos. There's a model of the Pokemon and a fossil behind a glass case that looks familiar. You reach into your bag and pull out the fossil you 'found' in the caves. It's almost an exact match.

"YOU!" A man in a labcoat yells over to you "Wait right there! Please, may I see that?" Robin quickly ducks behind an exhibit.

>Usher her out. She's probably just trying to avoid people her dad knows, and its ridiculous.
>Distract the man by showing him the fossil, and asking about it.

You look at Robin. She better just be hiding out from her Dad, and not ashamed to be seen with you or something.

"This old thing? Sure! In fact, that's why I came here. I heard you guys are able to revive fossils like this. Could you really make it into a living, breathing Pokemon?" You try to sound more enthusiastic than you are.

He inspects it and adjust his glasses. "Yes. Why yes we can. If you'd like, I can them right now."

You casually glance over to Robin again. She's doing her best not to look like she's hiding. You mouth 'you owe me' to her before agreeing to following the man.

He leads you passed several doors that make it clear they're for employees only. Finally, you reach a dark, modern looking lab. The only thing that keeps it from looking sleek too is all the cables and tubes strung all over the place. He beams with pride. "Here they are. Aren't they something else?" He sighs. "It wasn't easy, but getting these babies to work the very first time is still one of my fondest memories. Still, you don't want to hear an old man ramble. I suppose you're here to see if you can get that fossil revived?"

You not your head.

"Well certainly. There's just the small matter of the fee." He gives you a pitch that the machines are expensive and that the museum needs upkeep. The price he's telling you would be pretty much all over your remaining money, including the cash.

"Of course, if that's not something you'd like to do, you can always sell us the fossil." He offers twice as much as the nuggets worth.

It and its evolution hit hard but are super slow and pretty fragile. Game-wise, they're honestly pretty mediocre.

But this isn't a game, and rare is rare. Let's go for it, or at least see if they have another fossil they'd want to trade for it.

You think long and hard about it, and decide that you just have to have that Pokemon. But you're a bit of a hustler too. "Say," you coyly say to the older scientist. "Would you be willing to take a little off that price if I gave you this?"

You offer up the fire stone you got from Robin. She's not using it anymore, and you don't have any Pokemon it works on. Besides, Novum has them for sale, you can probably find another if you really need to.

"Well, certainly," the man says. "It's a little unusual, but I just can't turn down a good stone." Judging from the display cases full of various stones, fossils, shards and more, he's telling the truth.

He takes the fossil and most, but not all of your money.

This process takes about a day or so. Please come back in about 24 hours, and we'll have a brand new Pokemon here waiting for you." He puts the fossil in a machine and starts plugging away at the computer. He must be expecting you to show yourself out.

We're street smart enough to try and bargain, and be willing to leave and come back later, right?

We should be able to return before long, possibly after dealing with Robin's dad.
Though maybe bargain and learn about the potential pokemon until Robin has had enough time to get where she needs to.
