General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post, and 5 minute voting period for combat votes. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible. There are occasional roles to keep things organic, but mostly it goes by voters choice. Unless specified otherwise, the best of 3 rolls is the result, and rolling high is good.

Write-ins for all votes or always welcome and encouraged. Put your own spin on it, suggest dialogue, add an addendum, or anything else. Just because some options specify to write in, doesn't mean that they aren't welcome for anything else. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.
---------------------------
"Alright Trunks, let's learn Horn Leech."

Trunks looks up at you. You hope he's up for such an advanced move. You look at a nearby rock. That worked well last time.

"Trunks! I want you to try combining what you know from Tackle and Leech Seed, and using it on that rock!"

Trunks tackles the rock, then uses Leech Seed.

"Almost. What I mean is that you should do the same energy draining...thing, but use your horns instead. Make physical contact, and drain it of as much energy as you can."

Trunks tries it a few more times. His tackle slowly but surely develops a green tinge to it. It doesn't look entirely like the picture you see in Robin's Pokedex, but it's getting there.

(continued)

Praise the hell out of Trunks even if he doesn't completely learn it.

After a good long while, you think that Trunks is getting close. He's a smart one.

"I hate to interrupt, but we have to get moving if we want to catch that ferry." Vance hitches up his backpack. You look around and realize Robin and Vance are all packed. "Sorry Trunks. We'll have to pick it up later. Good job though, that's a very advanced move and you look like you're getting really close." Trunks snuggles up affectionately. You return him and grab Raistlin, who's been watching the entire time. You hope he picked something up.

Vance runs ahead and you and Robin are right behind him. You see your destination as you get over a small hill. There's a small hamlet around the docks. It's not much, not even a Pokemon center, but they have a small hotel with a restaurant, a gas station, and a few other basic amenities. There are people in tourist clothes lining up and ex. Just nearby, you spot a booth that's selling tickets.

"I'm pretty short on money." Vance says. "Do you two mind if we all get one cabin together? I can get my own room if you want."

Robin nods. "I'm a little short too. I can still afford it either way, but I'm fine with that."

You check your trainer ID. "We already shared the hotel room, and bed. I think we're passed having separate rooms." Vance looks relieved. He's been covering food, and even Pokemon food, so it's no wonder he's low on funds. Robin was cut off from her dad, so she'll need to learn to get by on less too. You, on the other hand, have no problem getting by on nothing. You still have a pretty good amount of money too.

You get to the desk and make arrangements for the three of you to get one cabin. There's a long haired teenager working the desk. As stamps the tickets, he looks the three of you over and settles on Vance. "Dude. Niiiiice." You can tell by the color of Robin's face that she didn't catch that. You move everyone along before she does. Vance just scratches the back of his neck and laughs.

It takes awhile before the Ferry is ready to leave. The three of you settle in and unpack. It's...cozy. Hopefully the three of you will manage.

"So," Vance says, "What do you guys want to do now?"

You think for a minute. "The deck looked pretty big."

"It's pretty common to have battles on the big flat decks of ships like this. Sometimes they discourage it, but some boat encourage it too."

Vance is reading a pamphlet on the cruise. "Looks like they like they encourage it here. It says here they have some sort of fold-out platform.

"Great!" You say. "We'll go there right after we win some money at the casino."

Vance and Robin roll their eyes.

"I won big last time, right?" They both concede. "Then relax. You two might consider it gambling, but I consider it free money. If you're nice, maybe I'll even teach you two how it's done." Truthfully you just got really lucky before, but they don't need to know that.

The three of you walk below to the casino. It looks like you weren't the only ones to think of this. The ship hasn't even left port yet and there's already a few people here playing machines, blackjack, poker, throwing dice, or just having a drink. It's still pretty early in the morning, but who are you to judge?

You see that there are no special prizes on this boat. It's just gambling for good old money.

You head over to the Poker table and pull up a chair. Texas hold-em, your favorite. You throw in a few chips and play a few hands. Over the course of a short while, you feel you've gotten a good idea of the players around you.

There's a rich young woman on your left. Just a quick look at her shows that she's never lifted anything heavier than her own jewelry in her life. She looks sharp.

Across the table is an older man with a white mustache. His face is tough, and his eyes are steady.

To your right is a man in a slightly oversized suit. He's had a few, but he doesn't look like too big of a sucker.

After a few hands you find yourself roughly where you started. You've gained a small amount, but more importantly you've gotten a feel for players around you

You stay at the table. With a few clever bets and some conservative playing, you manage to make a little more money when one of the other players is knocked out in a split pot. The drunk in the business suit walks away from the table.

"Now look here ladies," the man with the mustache says, "I wouldn't be a gentleman if I took all of your money without at least warning you first. I'd hate to see tears on those pretty faces."

Typical bluff. The rich girl might fall for that sort of flattery, but you know better. Or maybe he just wants you to think it's a bluff. Maybe he wants you to think that he wants you to think it's a bluff. Maybe you're just overthinking it.

Welp

The next round of cards come up. You do your best to keep a straight face when your cards come up. Keep it cool, it might not even matter if it's a bad flop.

It is not a bad flop.

"Well that's awfully nice of you sir." You do your best to mimic the mannerisms of a vapid rich girl. "But it's just a game. Win or lose, or doesn't matter." That's probably the biggest lie you've ever told in your life. You go all in.

The girl on your left laughs. "Well put. The ship will be departing soon anyway. I grow tired of dancing around. Shall we settle this?"

The man across from you gives her, and then you, a good long stare. You force yourself to smile and meet his gaze instead of looking at the pot. Pretend it's no big deal. Just. Stay. Calm.

"Very well." He pushes his pile of chips in. "All in." His tries to hide his grin.

All of you flip your cards over. Damn it! He has a better hand. The next card doesn't change the situation one way or the other. He starts leaning over to collect the pot.

Then comes the river. The hand turns in your favor. You won.

You won!

"You won!" Robin says, patting you on the back. You won the most money you've ever seen in your life. You try to do the mental math and convert the chips into real cash, but you're sure that can't be right.

"Holy... Kat, do you know how much this is?" Vance asks.

You look around for security. Nobody is coming yet to 'suggest' you stop. If you move quickly, you can keep this streak going.

>>29982466
I know that the license thing was them also trying to get us to leave but it was also exactly the push we needed.

Beneficial to both parties, we were unusually old to be there. As for the question thing, it probably stemmed from the times she asked them sarcastically/mockingly, she did mention that.

I'm not saying we owe them much of anything but people are overreacting here.
>>
>>29982529
She's never said anything bad about it either, and why would Robin know anything about investing or economics either, you think she went to attend some college course on it? She's a pokenerd not an entrepreneur

Personally, I don't like the option of putting your cash into items, but at least that makes sense for our character, even a savings account is a better idea, but this shit has no place
>>
>>29982541
It was explicitly said they made her feel stupid the few times she asked a serious question.

Wouldn't that put a lot of stress in her? I mean, along with travelling, training pokemons, Kat coming on to her and being estranged from her father.

It sounds like a nice idea for an epilogue, maybe. I say we convert the cash into a property and later, much later, liquify those assets and go big into investing.

Kat doesn't seem the type to trust investing. Lets just put it into savings separate from our pokebattle account and not go full retard spending it. Can't get any safer than that.

"Robin, you said something about investing before, right?" Your eyes stay locked on the pile of chips.

"Uhhh, yeah. Did you want me to help you out with that?" Robin asks.

"Yes please." You nod.

Robin is visibly nervous "OK, I mean, I'll do some research when we get to land. I know I said that's what I'd do if I had a lot of money, but I never thought I'd see that much. I think a savings account or something might be a good idea for now though." You don't really understand that stuff, you just smile, nod, and collect your winnings. You quickly cash out before your some sort of calamity happens. Whatever you decide, it'll have to wait until you reach land.

"Wow," Vance says. "Wow."

"Yup." That's all you can say, you're almost scared to look at your trainer ID to see the number on it. You look anyway. It's still there. You can't believe you were thinking about gambling this a second ago. You can buy a lot with this. You could fund the rest of your journey and pay Robin and Vance's way too in decent comfort as long as you don't do something stupid.

You didn't even realize you were walking to the deck until you arrive. You also don't even remember when the ship left port. You look around at the wide lake. It really is something. You can see what you're pretty sure are Magikarp flopping in the distance.

You absentmindedly touch your trainer ID. Even with all this money though, it can't buy you the league championship. A battle should clear your mind. That was the plan after gambling, win or lose, right?

There's a bit of a selection here. You see a younger trainer hanging around the battle area, Pokeballs hanging by his belt. He looks eager for a fight. His vest proudly displays two badges.

Across the deck you see a a boy and girl about your age on a date looking. Both of them have Pokeballs at their belts as well. Maybe you can get a double battle going, or goad one of them into trying to impress the other.

A skinny man with nice suit and and a fluffy white dog Pokemon on a leash walks passes you. Maybe he'd want to fight? He looks rich and pampered.

"Vance, do you still have that pamphlet?"

Vance does the macarana over his pockets until he finds it. "Got it here. Why?"

Before you battle you want to check something. "Is there a Pokemon Center or something on board?"

He scans over it. "Well...let's see..." his fingers trace over the large list of amenities. "Here go we. They have a small one. It's basically just a station you drop your Pokemon off in, so there isn't a PC or anything, but they'll heal your Pokemon."

Perfect! You straighten your outfit and walk over to the battling area.

"Hey!" The kid says, eying the Pokeballs on your belt. Since you've been wearing your new clothes, you've noticed that people's eyes either venture there or your eyes, instead of elsewhere. "Are you a trainer?"

You've got six Pokemon, a badge, and you're on your way to to another gym. "Sure am," you say with a grin.

"Let's battle! Come on! How about it!" He really is eager. "How about a singles battle with two Pokemon each?"

You see he has four Pokeballs at his belt

"Alright, you've got yourself a match. My name is Kat, by the way."

"I'm Eddie." He shakes your hand. It's like you're looking at the exact opposite of Junior.

"So Eddie, I don't want take all your money," you taunt him playfully, "Is a small bet alright with you?" You quote him a small flat amount.

"Hmph, you obviously know I'm going to win, so it makes sense that you'd bed low. Fine by me." His smile lets you know that he's being playful right back.

Vance and Robin take a seat, Robin takes out her Eevee and pets him while she watches.

Just as you and Eddie take your places at the small battling area, the platform folds out. You look over to your right and see a ship crew member working the controls. Now that's fancy. There are four square sections, one sandy, one a shallow pool of water, one of them is covered in grass, and the last is just some sort of artificial material.

"Ready?" Eddie asks, as he reaches for a Pokeball.

You put your hand at your belt. "Ready!"

You toss out Zappy Dan. He's gotten a lot of experience in general, but a little more can't hurt. You're facing a Water gym soon after all. At the same time you do that, Eddie throws out his Pokemon.

"Go Leafeon!" It looks like a larger, grass version of Eevee. You look back at Robin and see her pointing the Leafeon out to her Eevee and saying something. That confirms it.

You're a little familiar with how Eevee moves. How different can this be?

Eddie looks concerned about the matchup, but only for a moment. It looks like he has a plan. "I guess you're going to Aquapolis too, huh," He yells out to you.

Banks, at least in the United States, are federally insured. Incidentally that makes robbing banks a federal crime (since you're stealing their money effectively) as well as a state crime, and makes you have to go to jail TWICE if you're caught.

You look over to Eddie. "That's the plan, you?"

"Leafeon! Use Swords Dance!" His Pokemon does a strange dance in a circle. The faint outline of spinning swords surround it for a second. What was that, some sort of illusion?

As he's doing that, you give Dan his instructions. "Zappy Dan! Use Thunderwave!"

The wave of yellow energy strikes Leafeon.

"Smart move." Eddie compliments. "Yeah. Leafeon and I are going to get badge number three!"

You felt really proud of getting your first badge, but seeing this kid so confident about getting his third knocks you down a peg.

Zappy Dan hovers halfway over the sand and water squares. He seems apathetic to being in a battle.

"Razor Leaf!" Eddie's Leafeon is able to ignore the paralysis at least for now. It fires off a series of small leaves in rapid secession.

Even though you know Grass type moves aren't very effective against Steel types, the damage is clear. They leaves strike Zappy Dan hard and make audible 'tinks' each time they hit. He looks like he's in bad condition from just that one attack.

"Zappy Dan! Shrug it off. Hit it with Supersonic!" Dan floats back up and faces Leafeon. He lets out a terrible, high pitched metal sound. Leafeon looks confused.

If you're lucky, Dan might be able to take one more hit like that. It's a close call though. Leafeons must have amazing attack strength.

Eddie points dramatically. "Razor Leaf again Leafeon!"

To your relief, Leafeon looks unable to attack for now. It falls to the ground and hits it's face hard. It gets back up and tries to shake it off.

You press your advantage. "Sonic Boom while it's still confused!" Zappy Dan fires off a wave of sound that solidly connects. It hurt Leafeon more than you expected, but it's not exactly devastating. You'll need a couple more to take Leafeon out.

Leafeon is still confused, but you know know that can change in an instant.

"Leafeon! You need to snap out of it! You're strong, you can win this! Use Razor Leaf!" Eddie is really putting his all into believing in his Pokemon. It pays off. Leafeon shrugs off the confusion and fires off another volley of leaves. They hit with such force against Zappy Dan that you'd almost mistake it for a machine gun. Leaves ricochet and fly into the air. You're lucky it wasn't a critical hit.

You remember what Zappy Dan did to Prinplup. Even though it's not very effective against grass types, you're sure it'll hurt. "Zappy Dan! Thunderbolt! Give it all you've got!"

Zappy Dan spins his magnets and charges his attack. He unleashes a powerful bolt a lightning that rips through the air and strikes Leafeon. Leafeon is sent spiraling backwards and hits the ground. It struggles to get back up. Just as it rises to it's feet, it collapses.

Eddie returns Leafeon to it's Pokeball. "Good job Leafeon. I promise I'll work on a strategy for next time. You earned a good rest."

Zappy Dan barely floats. He sways from side to side. He occasionally scrapes against the ground before floating back up.

"Go, Clefairy!" A small, pink, fluffy Pokemon appears. It's pretty cute. You stay on your guard. You've learned not to judge Pokemon just by how they look.

Not normally. You do by default in single player, but never against other real people, or in any of the serious balanced stuff like battle tower/frontier/subway/maison.

If you ever play a game again, try setting it to Set instead of Switch, to take that free switch away. It honestly makes it a lot more strategic and fun, it's a big difference.

Nah. Not to get KO'd needlessly. We're already having them battle for us, there's no sense making them battle poorly to keep them safer. They know what they're in for, and clearly trust us despite it.

If we switch, we give them a free turn to hit what we switch in. If we don't switch, at best we get to paralyze, at worst we get to switch in our second without exposing it to a turn of danger.

It's a tough call, but you decide to swap out for Vlad, your Zubat. "Dan! Return for now. Go Vlad!"

Vlad does his signature quick loop as he exits his Pokeball.

As you're doing that, you hear Eddie issue his command at the same time. "Wake-Up Slap!"

Clefairy must have been going for Zappy Dan. It has to do a quick change of direction and leap into the air to slap Vlad. The slap connects, but it doesn't look like it did much.

"Hmph," Eddie says. "Just in time."

Clefairy jumps back to Eddies' side of the field. Vlad circles on your side.

Even though you haven't used him since the gym battle, Vlad has gotten a lot of real battle experience under his belt. You hope that Clefiary can't say the same.

"Lombre and I have been working on his strength for some time. You're not the first trainer to underestimate him, and you won't be the last."

>"But I let him get knocked out...I could have switched or-"

>He hits the floor with his cane suddenly. "You do however need a lesson in respecting your Pokemon's wishes." He becomes serious now.

In your journey, you and your Pokemon will face difficulties that you may not be able to overcome at first. It's only a failure if you fail to learn from it! Robbing your Pokemon of their chances to grow and prove themselves is just as bad as pushing them beyond their ability. As a trainer you must balance those concerns and others."

At least you're consistent. "Vlad! Supersonic!" Vlad flies over Clefiary and let's out a terrible screech. It's not nearly has bad when you're not hungover.

"I should have seen that coming!" Eddie says. He's a little upset with himself, but he puts that aside. "Clefiary! Listen to my voice! Double Team!"

Clefiary manages to listen. It splits into several clones of itself. That has to be some sort of trick.

"Good luck finding the real one!" Eddie taunts. His tone of voice still makes it sound like it's in good nature. You think he's just trying to throw you off your game. You can't say it isn't working a little bit though. How are you going to guess the right one?

At least you can see they all look dizzy. There's some consolation.

Where the hell did you get that impression? Kats shown herself to be very kind to pokemon.

Bug does half damage to fairy.

Well first off, Double Team is completely useless against him because it's purely a visual trick. He navigates using sonar, so he should be able to "see" which one is real without our help. Let him do his thing.

A little worn down is not "No life left"

Please don't argue with people that agree with you and remember to follow the links to know who is arguing what.

>>29985853
It's a flying attack. Does that too do half damage to Fairy? Actual question, no sarcasm here.

>>29985895
neutral

fairy gets 1/2 resistance to bug,fighting, and dark

Ah you're right, I'm getting a little worked up.

I think it's time for me to stop posting
>>
>>29985895
no it doesn't and I think he was referencing lifeleech with that
>>
>>29985895
Bug referring to leech life. The only other damage dealer Vlad has.
Flying type has no adverse or beneficial relationship with fairy type.
>>
>>29985918
I wish more anons followed your example

>>29985895
neutral.
Fairy is weak to steel and poison, resists fighting, dark and bug. Immune to dragon.

>>29985936
plus, wing attack is three times as powerful

Sonic boom doesn't have a Power. It does flat, irresistible damage. I'd actually like a comment from Gobble on whether or not it becomes useless later on, like in the games, or if it is just a consistent source of mediocre damage in the quest.

Wait a second. You've got this! "Vlad! Get the one that's casting a shadow! Use Wing Attack!" You point to one of the Clefairys on the field. As soon as the words leave your mouth, you feel foolish. They're all leaving a shadow. Plus Vlad probably doesn't even know what that is!

To your surprise though, Vlad lets out a screech and dives at one of the Clefairys. He passes right through an illusion in is path and connects with the real one. You're not sure if it's because he doesn't 'see', if it was just lucky, or something else. Clefiary is knocked back. It recovers, but that must have hurt.

"Alright Clefairy, we've been practicing this move for the gym, but now's the time. Charge Beam!" It's not nearly as powerful looking as Zappy Dan's Thunderbolt, but you wouldn't tell that to Vlad. He screeches wildly as he's struck.

Clefiary looks hurt too. The difference in battle experience is probably the only thing keeping it even right now.

"The next one is going to be worse. Charge Beam makes Clefiary hit harder with special attacks the more we use it." Eddie is too excited from the battle to keep that information to himself. Not that it matters, another shock like that will take Vlad out of the fight. Then again, another wing attack might take out Clefairy. Vlad hits pretty hard for such a little guy, now that you think about it.

There are still some illusions on the field.

You can totally do this Vlad. Wing Attack, just one more time.
>>
>>29986034
>Wing Attack
It's all about who hits first then, and Vlad did last time.

We won't live long enough to benefit from stalling with Leech Life, which is resisted by clefairy anyways.

Not sure if still confused. Err on the side of moar damage.
>>
>>29986034
>Wing Attack

It is still confused, and we do still have zappy dan in reserve if really needed.
>>
>>29986034
I don't suppose low-altitude strafing runs are an option? Get really low to the ground, keep zooming back and forth behind the illusions, making a quick strike from different angles each time.

"Vlad! Wing Attack! Fly low!" You hope that helps him evade better. Vlad cruises at top speed just inches above the deck. He swings through several doubles before connecting with Clefairy. Wing Attack sends Clefairy spinning, but the pink fluffy Pokemon refuses to go down. Instead, it charges up another electric attack and prepares to fire.

Only it's having trouble aiming. Vlad is staying low to the ground and flying through all of the illusionary doubles. Clefairy is already confused, but trying to aim at a speedy little Zubat that's constantly vanishing through doubles of itself is too much. Clefairy spins again.

"Clefairy! Fire the Charge Beam! Don't let it escape!" Eddie urges. He knows it's now or never.

Clefairy continues trying to stay locked onto Vlad, but falls right into the pool as he shoots the Charge Beam. There's a flash of light that illuminates the water filled square. To it's credit, Clefairy crawls out of the pool before fainting on the ground.

Vlad does a victory loop and flies over to you. He lands on the ground by your feet.

That's all for tonight! Next thread most likely Wednesday.

There will not be a thread on Saturday the 8th. I know I usually run Saturdays, but I'm helping someone move.

Next time: A surprise with Vlad! How will Eddie take this! Hijinks in cramped quarters! Surprise Adventure on the ferry! And more!

Thanks everyone for sticking around, voting, and generally making this a blast. Sleep tight and have a great night!
