General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. 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 circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics are up in the air. Suggestions are welcome. We'll be trying some new things out so I appreciate your patience as we fine tune it. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves, so beware of that timing. I also want to try a more varied turn system so you and your opponent can do a few things in a row more often. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first.

Call me out on a mistake and receive a suggestive picture.

Pokemon:
Gobble (Munchlax)

Belladonna (Roselia)

You wake up the next morning to the gentle sound of Belladonna making a very faint, cute breathing noise next to your face. You move your legs and find that Mace is resting between your feet.

And your pillow is breathing. There’s Gobble!

You stretch and get dressed. Everyone else except Gobble is eager to greet the day. He’d rather sleep.

You look to Jane’s room and see a blue eye in the crack quickly vanish. You sigh.

There’s a knock at your door.

“Hello?”

“Herb! Are you awake?” Keira asks from the other side.

“Umm, yes.” You’re not sure how else to answer.

She whips open the door. “Blessed morning! The temple is offering us breakfast before the shard ceremony, but it will be a little bit. Everyone else is here, but nobody answered when I knocked so I think they’re all asleep. I’m going to go for a walk until then.”

“Can I come?”

“Sure!” She smiles brightly from under her facepaint, the starts walking off.

You go to follow, but Gobble is laying out on the floor.

“Come on, Gobble.”

He very slowly stirs up. You have to run to catch up to Keira.

She lets out her pokemon too. It’s a bright, sunny day with a nice cooling breeze. The heavy tree shading makes it perfect.

“So, Herb.” She keeps her hands behind her back. “That’s really impressive that you made baco bread on your first try. It’s one of my favorites. Is everyone from the mainland good at cooking?”

“Well, not really.” You don’t want to brag or anything. ”Everyone has different interests.”

You chat about nothing for a while as you make your way through the narrow, tree’d path. You come to a rest at a stream. The pokemon water themselves and you both sit on a fallen over tree. Bella especially seems to enjoy her spot by the water.

“Herb.”

“Yeah?”

“Nope. I mean, I still don’t know a lot about the islands so everything is still a little strange to me.” You tell her, convincing yourself that you’re not avoiding mentioning anything in particular. “Why, what do you mean by strange?”

“Well.” she looks at the ground. “I don’t know. I don’t really meet a lot of people from his island since they don’t have a temple. I’ve just heard things, mostly.”

This is getting uncomfortable. “What sort of things?”

She kicks her feet in the air and looks off at nothing. “Like they spread rumors about the priests and do strange sacrifices in secret. Polu seems really nice though, so I don’t know.” She’s really looking uncomfortable now, like she’s embarrassed to even be talking about it. “He’s got some strange pokemon, huh?”

“I guess so. Yeah.” All pokemon are strange in their own ways. But that ghost pokemon of his, Spiritomb, does stick out to you.

“Sorry. Forget I said anything. I heard a lot of things about mainlanders too and you don’t fit any of them.” She realizes what she just said and covers her mouth. “Sorry.” She mutters again.

You wonder how long it’s been? Breakfast is probably ready by now. In fact, you might be late. You're trying to figure out how far the sun as move when a dark bird pokemon flies overhead, causing a quick shadow then fresh flash of sunlight in your eyes.

"I hate when that happens." Keira says, seeing you blink.

“Well, you can’t believe everything you hear.” You offer.

She seems to really think on that. “But that’s all I know about...everything outside the priesthood.” She gets lost in thought.

Gobble eats some random plants on the way down the open path back the way you came before you can stop him. They seem harmless enough, but it’s clear he’s getting more and more hungry. You wonder if he’ll evolve soon, too.

You and Keira get ripped out of your thoughts when a bird caws at you from a branch above.

“Murkrow!” You wave to it, recognizing it instantly. There’s a distinct look to him.

He caws again, flies down, and shakes a bundle he’s carrying.

“You want to trade?”

He caws again, then digs a little with his claw.

You go to reach for the bundle to see what he has, but he keeps it away and makes an aggressive noise.

Keira, looking very confused, still translates for you. “He says you need to give him something and he’ll decide what you get.” Her eyes are full of questions about this whole affair.

That doesn’t seem like a very fair business model.

Most of the others are probably a bit dangerous or troublesome for him (I know it says light frying pan but I'd still imagine it would be a pain for a small bird to carry off).

You offer him the pan and an antidote.

He caws and points his beak to a spot between the two of you.

Murkrow inspects what you lay down. He hops around it, giving it a few bites, and only exposing his back to you for a fraction of a second.

He drags it back a few feet, then sticks his beak into his bundle. He drags out two items. A small chunk of ice, and a dirty disk.

“Is that a TM?” You ask as you move to pick it up. Murkrow drags it’s loot away from you when you approach.

Murkrow shrugs and makes a noise. “He says it is what it is. Stick it in your shiny noise box or whatever you do.” Keira gives a look to make sure you know she’s just translating.

You pick up the ice. It’s cold, but it’s not melting. Huh. You wonder if you should be holding it with your bare hands.

“Thanks, Murkrow.”

Murkrow is putting all his stuff together to figure out how to lift away his haul. He’s a creative packer, that’s for sure. He caws at you and gets a few feet before adjusting it, then he repacks it and takes off for good.

“Good doing business with you.” Keira says. Still confused.

The two of you head back to the temple. Before you get into it though, you almost run head first into the boy who you lent your pokedex to.

“Ah.” He bows to Keira deeply, then a little to you. “Thank you for lending me your Pokedex.” He offers it back. “I uhh, am sorry.”

Before you can understand what he means, he gives it to you and quickly vanishes around a corner.

“Sorry?”

Keira shrugs, she has no idea either.

You look over your Pokedex. It seems lighter. You check out the back and see that the panel has been replaced with a different one with an empty storage spot in the back. You turn it on and it flickers a bit, booting a little slower. It otherwise seems to be working, though. At least, as far as you can tell with a quick inspection.

Thats stupid. We use the old rod. While we could technically use the antidote, its not a necessity. Neither is the tin frying pan, which is practically useless for the level of cooking we prefer.

Plus, this is a vendor we have, and want to continue having, a good relationship with. A shitty metal hook will not even turn the head of a Pidgey, much less a Murkrow.

Keira looks at the pokedex, then compares it to her own and blinks.

“Hey wait! Come back.” You follow after him, leaving her behind. You’re more confused than mad.

You’re not the most perceptive guy, but even you can see he’s hurrying away and pretending not to hear you. You try to pick up the pace.

“Hey. Hold on! I’m not mad, I just want to talk.”

You hurry around the corner. He’s been stopped by Mace! He must have gone around the other way to cut him off.

He turns and sees you, then sighs, defeated. Bella runs up and points her flowers at him aggressively and he raises his hands. You have to motion her to calm down.

“I’m very sorry.” He bows again.

“What happened?”

He explains that he ended up breaking the hard drive on it and some ram. He replace them, but with older parts. There’s barely any storage on it (not that you knew it even saved stuff.) You can’t save contact info or record data. The radio was also replaced with an older part too, but he insists it’s a good one. He tells you it will still float if you press the air pouch button. Another thing you didn’t know it could do.

He bows. “Please. Let me make it up to you. My karma and honor demands it.”

“I’m really not mad.” You tell him.

“Please. If I don’t do something to make up for it, this will haunt me, just like Brother Hoon says. I can do electrical work, or give you something of equal value.” He looks away. “And if we can keep this between us...”

You think for a minute. You don’t really want anything, but by the look on him, he needs to do something. You can understand that feeling. You hate feeling guilty whenever you screw up and need to make it up.

“Well, actually, can you clean up this?” You take out the old TM. “I don’t even think it’d fit in the pokedex with all the dirt and stuff on it.” You think “The TM reader still works, right?”

He nods. “Yes, yes of course. We’re very good at working with old and rusty things here. It’s a speciality. We believe in maximizing the potential of older technologies.” He takes it from you. “This won’t take long. I promise. And thank you.”

Bella threatens him again. He doesn’t take it overly seriously, but he gives her space. Keira reaches you just as he leaves. Bella looks up to Keira and thrusts a flower at her too.

Keira just sniffs the flower instead. “Smells pretty!”

Bella is deflated at her failed threat and pouts.

“Come on, the shard ceremony is starting.” Keira grabs your hand and leads you away. She avoids holding it when you run by some monks, though.

You arrive at the ceremony room. Everyone looks over at you from their kneeling position. They’re all wearing robes, too.

“Disrespectfully late.” Jane mutters under her breath.

Keira offers a formal bow. You’re not sure what to do and do the same. Brother Hoon’s expression shows you did it wrong, but his raised hand to Jane and two other monks tells them not to worry about it. Gobble imitates what you did and manages not to fall forward.

Keira points to a place to kneel. You go and do so like everyone else.

“Now.” Brother Hoon says. “Where were we? Ah yes. I want everyone here to think deeply about their place in their community. In their family.”

Hana looks uncomfortable.

“In the eyes of your peers. Think about those around you, and reflect. Reflect on their actions to you, and yours to them. There’s a great circuit of karma, of trust, that goes through the connections in your life. Are you letting it flow through you, or insulating against it? What about others? Where are your connections weakest? What can you do to strengthen them?”

Who do you want to improve your connection to?

You think about the connections in your life. What gaps do you want to work on? The first two gaps that come to mind are Laki’s cleavage and Keira’s thighs, but you quickly squash those thoughts. You guess you’re a little like your dad in some ways after all, even if you avoid it. Or are you?

Who are you?

No really. Who are you? You’ve only started on your quest, but you’re already learning a lot. Your name is John. You’re a new trainer. You like to cook. You like fashion. You’re not really in anyone’s face, but you’re proud of how much more outgoing you’ve gotten already. There’s been some progress there. You never considered yourself very brave, but if you had to put your ego aside, you’ve done a lot of brave stuff in the last while. Or maybe just reckless stuff. People say that teenagers don’t have a good sense of danger. But you’re not a typical teenager, are you?

Well, maybe you are. You bet everyone thinks they’re not typical. Your talk with Hana before made you feel a lot better and more normal about...you know. Doing teenager stuff to yourself. You wonder when you'll grow out of that.

You’re nowhere near as assertive as everyone else you know. If you’re being honest, you’re probably the biggest obstacle to connecting to others. Yes, you’re nice, you’re polite, but are you open? When something annoys you or someone causes problems for you, can you be honest about it, or do you smile, figure out a way to live with it, and shoulder it without saying anything? Are you scared of conflict? Scared of hurting someone even if you should say something? Are you arrogant, thinking that you can handle being told something bad, but others can’t?

I don't get it. That is Laki on the left and Hana on the right isn't it?
>>
Primarily, you’re the supporter. The nurturer. The mom. You have a few issues when it comes to your masculinity, so that’s not easy to admit. But why does being caring and supporting have to be feminine? Your grandpa was a caring guy. And he was manly He built stuff with his calloused hands and had a big beard and everything.

Is that what makes a man manly?

You bring your thoughts back to focus. You know what else you are the people need? Stable. You’re consistent. Maybe that’s boring, and maybe you don’t know all that much about people or the world, but you do know how good it is to have something stable. Someone familiar and constant to ground yourself with. That goes along well with being supporting. Usually you think of being a rock as more like a dad figure that’s always in the garage or always saying “yup” and you can always predict what they say. Someone that doesn’t ever have any doubt about themselves or the world, but aren’t arrogant about it. They just know the world and their place in it. But maybe it’s just being someone people can depend on, even if they depend on your to be undependable. Not that you’re undependable, but you just mean the general concept of consistency. Maybe-

“John.”

You open your eyes. The room is empty except for Keira and Brother Hoon.

“It’s been three hours.” He answers the question you didn’t think to ask yet. “Meditation can do that.”

“Did- did I miss it?”

“No.” He puts takes your hand, then places the shard in it. “Well, yes, but the dogma isn’t as important as the meaning and purpose behind it. I can sense you’ve done a lot of reflecting.”

Keira peaks at him and you from her meditating pose.

“The others are waiting for you before they leave. Oh, and I apologize for starting this a little late. There was a mess in the tool shed this morning. John, you seem like a fine young man with a lot on your mind, before you go, is there anything you’d like to discuss?”

“Actually, there is one thing. Can you help Mace?”

He raises an eyebrow.

You explain the situation with Mace and his energy. He strokes his chin and waits until you’re done talking. “Yes. He seems like he’d take well to it.” He glances at the rock.

Mace is looking over the room, staying vigilant.

“Mace, have you been doing that this whole time?”

He offers what you think is his version of a solute. He’s become more dutiful since you first got him.

“Let me have some time alone with him.” He says “Go, see the others.”

You get up and fall over. Your limbs are asleep. You poke the sleeping Gobble and he wakes up with a start. Keira goes with you, too.

As you go to the temple courtyard, you see everyone else, even Jane. She and Laki are exchanging evil glares, but nobody is saying anything. It’s like the temple is some sort of neutral ground. It reminds you of that old tv show about immortal people that fought with swords and holy ground was neutral. Bella is there too, sitting on a stone wall near Laki’s shoulder.

“Hey, bro!” Polu puts an arm around you. “Been surfing?” He pokes you in the gut. You feel a tinge of self consciousness in having your lack of strong muscles felt. “I’m just bugging you. It’s only been a day. Look, bro, I’ve been training really hard, and I want to get a rematch soon. That okay? You’re heading to Eelilee with Laki and Keira, right? Any idea where you’re going after that?” He leans in closer “Jane looks really scary right now. I dare you to challenge her.”

Making the rematch against Jane would also be fine in my book.

Also, do we need to exchange phone numbers or anything like that to keep in touch with the others, or are we good on that front?

>>1010327
A battle royale sort of thing would be better at that point; those teams don't really work.

“I have no idea where I’m going next.” you confess. “I’m just sort of planning on going with the flow.”

He raises a fist. You flinch, thinking he’s going to give you a playful punch, before you realize he’s looking for a fistbump. You bump it.

“But yeah. I’m down for a battle right now.”

He slaps you on the back. “Got the itch, huh? I think I’m understanding it too. Pokemon training brings it out of you.”

Everyone is making sure they have everyone else’s numbers, and they all get yours too. Jane doesn’t ask, but you notice her plugging them into her pokedex.

You ask for a pencil and paper, and the group manages to find the two between them all, letting you scribble down everyone’s numbers. The group hangs out for awhile, nobody wanting to be the person that breaks it all up and leaves first.

“What’s your number, Jane?” You offer as friendly as you think you can without sounding insincere. You’re starting to think that you’re getting through to her, sometimes.

She mutters it to you and you scribble it down. She gets yours, too. You get a quick call from her, but she hangs up as soon as you answer.

“Just testing.” She says.

“You sounded like you were looking for a battle.” Val cautiously teases you. “Are we going to get a show?” Her pokemon bounce around.

Yeah. You’re feeling it. And almost right on time, Brother Hook comes out with Mace, giving him a refresher on meditation exercises.

I kind of wanted to get Bella some training with her new body in before we used her in battle. (Learn poison sting, leach seed, and attempt magical leaf.) It's possible that this will be a fine sort of training too, though.

Also, is like to see about asking Gobble how he feels about evolving, and weather or not he's like to hold off until he's learned snatch/fling/swallow/stockpile.

“Why don’t we battle now?” You say to Polu.

He pauses. “Yeah?”

“Yeah. If you’re up for it.”

He mulls it over and looks around. His hand slowly goes to the bandanna he’s wearing. “Yeah. That sounds like a challenge to me. Okay. Double battle? Two each?”

You’re starting to get a bit worried at his sudden resurgence of confidence. But you remember last time. You won, and you had a lot of fun, too. Polu and his pokemon are nice, but challenging opponents.

“What about the bet?” Laki asks, playfully egging you both on a little. “You boys,” she emphasizes the word, “are going to put something on the line, right?”

“Just a man’s pride.” You take a subtle battle pose and try to sound cool.

Hana exhales, but restraints herself from making a noise. Laki and Keira burst out into laughter. Val looks around confused but gives a few chuckle because of the laughter.

Jane glares. “That’s a disrespectful joke for the temple.”

Keira slaps her on the back, really messing up her menacing aura. “The clergy has a sense of humor, Jane. It’s encouraged.”

“A man’s pride is a...what do you call it, slang for his dick.” Laki spells it out to Jane by leaning over Hana. Hana looks like she’s hyperventilating.

“It’s also encouraged to be respectful inside a temple.” Jane replies to Keira. “And hold a certain level of-”

Keira glares this time. “Are you lecturing me, a ghost -priestess-, on temple decorum?”

Jane looks uncharacteristically flustered. You’d be panicking right now. She just has a slight aura and uncertainty. She glances around. “No.” She clears her throat. “I meant no disrespect. I-”

Keira bursts into gut busting laughter and doubles over. “Oh you should see your face.”

Jane sincerely offers what comes off as a very poor impression of someone with a good sense of humor laughing at themselves. You’re a little ashamed that you’re enjoying how uncomfortable she looks. You’re also glad that the focus is on her instead of your accidental double entendre.

You turn back to Polu, “unless you want to bet something else?”

He shakes his head. “Pride,” he leaves out the other word, “works fine by me.”

Laki rolls her eyes. “Boring. I’ll give a reward to the winner, then. It’ll be a surprise.”

You and the group find spot away from the temple to battle. You’re told it’s not nice to battle directly in the courtyard. There’s a spot within viewing distance by the river that’s perfect though. Apparently even the monks have battles here sometimes.

Polu reaches for his pokeballs. “Ready?”

You look to your pokemon. They all seem fine. Mace even looks especially more rested than usual. Bella has a strange edge of what you hope isn’t bloodlust. Bullylust, maybe? Some sort of Laki-like aura, anyway. Gobble looks like he’s getting to that point where he just starts getting barely hungry again, which you’re learning is when he’s most active.

Herb is a young girlyboy wandering around the Loanah islands who is also a total badass when things get rough (but due to shit luck only when nobody's looking).

He has a habit of befriending any wild pokemon he meets, and otherwise has basically done sweet fuck all other than trivial shit like bonding with his friends, getting a badge, and beating up a hydreigon with a frying pan.

Herb could get a Honedge! That way he can wield it and be a badass and everyone he's possessed. And the entire time the Honedge can be going "Holy shit! This guys nuts! I didn't sign up for this!"

It would let Herb be a secret badass in the open and maintain plausible deniability.

Speaking of. We should have done a write in for the self reflection and said secret badass.
>>
>>1011899
Honedge is a fun ghost Mon. I think his thoughts on bravery were reflection on the badass stuff he's done. It could also tie into his status as group rock, he pulls through in the clutch cause when people or Pokemon need him he'll be there to help.

[I really liked writing Clair. She's such a bitch, but sympathetic. At least, in my eyes. She's a huge hypocrite and knows it, but that's what makes her so fun. Rules and personal codes mean nothing to her because of all the minds she's been inside and all the ways she's seen people violate their own belief systems and use mental gymnastics to pretend otherwise. She's been jaded since puberty. She's a pessimist, but still looks for hope and goodness in people. She doesn't find it with people's thoughts, but their actions despite their thoughts. I don't know if that always came across well, but those are my thoughts on her.

Are our pokemon included among the reflectors? Because after the comment that Mace has "become more dutiful" I really want to get inside that noggin of his.

I think it's a mystery.

I still want to flirt with Gobble either way. Because I can flirt only when I know nothing will grow out of it.

I think some cultures/areas would be more accepting than others]

>>1013634
>Who's your favorite girl in this quest?
[Tough choice. I departed a bit from the original ideas for them. Hana and Laki were originally one character in my head, but I felt there were two very different stories there. As everyone gets more screentime, I think they get more distinct. The hardest to write is Valerie. But since she's not as popular I don't mind. I want to do her more justice than I did Jeanine, though.]

[Never seen that before. Nice.]

>>1013653
[Sometimes people write in stuff I never expected and it makes a hard fight much easier. I believe in letting creativity have a chance for all but the most blatantly dumb plans. Sometimes anons want to get to know throw-away NPCs or follow random stuff I just made up a lot. I like it. Most of the previous quest was made up on the spot because of surprises. Sometimes an anon will make a prediction that's much better than what I had in mind so I just do that instead. Sometimes players are super predictable, though, like wanting waifu stuff. As long as most people are having fun or at least invested, I'm very happy. I don't mind shitstorms though. I don't like to invite them and I don't fish for them, but I see it as people caring and being attached, and don't take it personally.]
>>
>>1013656
Eh, we did have a pretty strongly female cast, so I'm not surprised about that. It's more that there were details I would never have possibly known about lesbian sex that led me to believe gobble is a lesbian/bisexual woman.

I still want Gobble to write boylove though. Maybe Polu's gotten himself hurt, and his hands are in casts, and he just needs relief, and what are bros for? A handy J between bros isn't gay, right? I heard it's only gay if the balls touch, right? No homo? And if that's not working, it only makes sense that Herb use his mouth, right? There's no difference between a guy's mouth and a girl's mouth, right? Or a guy's piercing blue eyes and a girl's, right? Or that soft skin and hair?

[Laki is tall, well built, and stacked. She's what you'd picture an Amazon as, maybe. Very thick, strong legs especially. I picture her as a sort of Korra body. Short hair, predator smile. Dark skin.

Valerie is blonde, feminine, and proper. Likes to wear frilly things, mostly white.

Keira is like others have said. Mallow with facepaint, but more on the small side. She's got her hair in buns. Under her face paint is freckles.

Jane is half mainlander, half islander. Imagine Zinnia with an angry scowl and hyper competitive streak. Blue eyes, short hair. Win at all costs attitude.

Hana I see as a mostly like chicken-chan, but with an Adam Jensen twist. Her limbs are varying degrees of missing, and her body has scars and burns. They're more subtle than she thinks.

Polu I always pictured to be like a surfer/greaser mix version of Hau. He's been heavily influences by surfer movies and wants to be "mainlander cool."

Herb I picture a lot like a much skinnier, younger Spark of Pokemon Go. Happy, smiling, golden innocence.]


>>1013720
[Most favorite? Voters embracing the lewd, and really wanting to develop Kat with an arc. Least favorite? The Hornbeam stuff. I feel like that mucked up a lot of pacing. The original theme was going to be genetics and parental legacy, but anons had Kat rejecting all that stuff from the get-go. Despite this, I pushed more of Hornbeam's angle, being a geneticist out of control. I think this was a mistake. I should have pivoted along with how Kat had developed and changed the theming focus for her external adversary. I like how she developed internally, though.]

God I've been out of this for too long.

I imagine if things had played out differently in the beginning, we may have stuck closer with a different companion and Belladonna would have picked up different quirks as a result. Mind fleshing out what she would have been like after her evolution for each of them? I'm real curious how you would have handled it if we gunned for Jane early on.

Any chance we could hook play matchmaker with the girls? You've written a lot of good characters across the board and I'm going to feel guilty for picking just one to settle on.

Hey, really enjoy your writing. Regardless of how you feel about the Hornbeam stuff, I honestly think you are one of the better QMs I've followed. The way you run quests has a nice feeling to them and I think it keeps us anons surprisingly civil most of the time due to your influence. Also I think it's interesting hearing you describe the themes of Pokemon Quest. Do you have any particular themes in mind for Pokemon Island Adventure Quest? Or is it too soon to tell?

As one of the anons that was part of that shitstorm I will say it was mostly because that thread went super late for me and I regret it.

[Thanks!

I think the themes shaping up right now have a lot of overlap; coming of age, figuring out who you are, etc. But specifically with Herb I think there's some stuff in there about what masculinity means. With a lot of other characters, there are things to explore like dealing with the unfairness of life, pressure to succeed, how others see you, and other typical teenager things. With the islands, there's a lot of cultural stuff, mostly revolving around traditions in the face of "losing a culture victory" to the mainland and exploring a little bit about nationalism, cultural relativity and values, xenophobia and identity. I don't want to get all political about anything, but that's a bit of a backdrop. time will tell what becomes a big focus and what gets left behind as we hammer through it.]

Sorry, I'm kinda sick and tired and tried writing two different sentences at the same time. It didn't work out.

I would like Herb to play an active role in getting our cute girls hooked up with either other cute girls or cute boys since we can only keep one for ourselves. What are the chances of seeing my dream come true in this quest?

Also, I suppose we could try and ship keira and jane if we don't go for either of them, keira's status and disposition seems to make a good counter to janes general attitude.

There's a pretty solid chance Keira is straight, given her coenciding sexual awakening and introduction to boys. Val doesn't seem to have made up her mind. Jane could be ace for all we know.

>>
>>1016454
I like Jane, because I want to make her like us. She presents a challenge. She's also interesting and cute.

Hana is a big dork, and somehow I feel like if I were in John's position, I'd be smitten with her.
>>
>>1016426
Yeah. Some people seemed upset about that bin, some thought it was no big deal, and some were skeeved out that some people thought it was no big deal. I thought it was an interesting opportunity to research sex crime laws. Best I could find was that what she did was "fourth degree criminal sexual conduct". There's no minimum sentence, and a maximum of two years in jail OR up to 500$ in fines. (Which seems like two wildly different sizes of punishment).

I was mostly joking about Jane being asexual. While on the one hand the "ace trainer" pun is really good, and I think that having Herb date someone with hugely different needs would be interesting, she does seem to care about being desirable. (From what we've learned out of character.)
>>
>>1016536
well, even if Jane is asexual (Though I find it unlikely) we're building john as a support character, I think it would still be a cute relationship.
>>
>>1016536
I like Laki for a lot of the same reasons you mention her. She seems to really need a friend, her baggage is tied into her self-esteem as a Athlete and letting her country down. I'm not sure if Herb will be able to help her, but gosh darn it I want to see him try.

Eh, I'm speculating at Herb's relationship with an asexual Jane. I doubt she'd be for an open relationship, and would also likely encourage Herb to excel at whatever he tries his hand at. She might take pride in being the only object of Herb's desire, and pose for him, or ask he not look at other girls. Those sorts of things reminded me of the world champion masturbator.

After all, only a genius manipulator could convince the entire cast she's the bad guy. And managing that takedown and subsequent escape?

Hey Gobble, what are the aura's of some of the other cast members?

Writing this, I'm wondering what Keira's aura is. She's way too happy to be ghost, fairy would fit. Not sure what other type she might be, grass maybe.

Also what character type would an electric aura fit? Really hyperactive, kinda like Eddie from Kat's quest?

Hot. Imagine Laki/Jane as Silver and Herb as Lyra.

...is she snowballing him? I'm not into that. The rest of it does.

I feel like Herb would start a reverse-gang. Like, he inspires kids to think that spontaneous acts of compassion and constructive activity are what's cool. Inclusiveness, that sort of thing. No initiation, no obligation to stay.

>>1017739
Herb is for loving, committed relationships.

never noticed the snowball(and had to google what that is), I figured that was just spit and the art style was just trying to show it. Making something that's clear visible is difficult, from my (limited) experience.

I can see a threesome working to stop a shitstorm, or at least replace one. Seems most people have a couple favorites, with Laki and Keira in the lead. Their personalities could allow for it as well, though there would have to be ingame justifications for it. I would expect Herb to have some serious moral conflict about it, seeing how he was raised in a culture(from what we know) that doesn't have threesomes as a normal relationship model

I'd prefer Herb hooking up with a single person, but won't be salty if there's a threesome

>[I'd probably run a hentai quest if I didn't think it would get old.

You'd be surprised how hard it is for lewd to get boring. I've had an erection every day of my life since puberty. And even if it does run it's life cycle quickly, just because something ends doesn't mean it doesn't have value. /Aco/ needs an experienced, dedicated qm like you. And you have the butts to fuel it. I'd be 100% dicks out for you to at least try.

Lemme see. If I give it a bit of thought, there are a few options you could try.
You could do something like the pokemon quests you've already done, but tonally different with an older, sluttier MC. You could do a monstergirl quest. You could do a corruption of champions setting for instance. If pokefucking rubs you the wrong way because of the bestiality thing, you could try it in a mystery dungeon setting. Hell, you do characters well enough I'd read one in an entirely non-fantasy setting. Make it about some regular college kid, dealing with rent instead of adventures. I've read plenty of straight-up porn comics before. Your smut's up with the best of them.
Don't let a fear of "failure" get in the way of trying. Worst case scenario the thread dies. Just drop us a line if you do give it a go, yeah?

Valerie: I don’t know. I’m not really close to anyone. The closest person to me since I started is probably Hana. She’s nice. And she knows a lot about mainland culture and doesn’t mind filling me in. I didn’t want to use my yacht, but I know she has medical needs. She must be more conscious about her body than I thought because whenever she goes to her cabin to recharge she stays there for a long time and I swear I hear sobbing and buzzing.

Laki is probably the peer I know the second best. She’s very...assertive. I can’t believe I let things get so far when we went out to the woods together. She’s just so open about what she wants and goes for it. I wish I had that confidence. I know I’m pretty, but I never feel like I am. I know I’m well educated, but I feel so ignorant. How does Laki do it?

Herb seems like a nice fellow, too. And it’s nice to see another mainlander who doesn’t know what’s going on. He seems well intentioned...but he does so much to please everyone. I don’t think he thinks highly of himself.

Ugh. I’m still so embarrassed about forgetting his money. Typical rich girl stereotype. I just want to be like everyone else.

I suppose that Jane girl is the one I’m least connected too. What a mean...bitch! She’s a bitch. She had her pokemon beat up Lillipup so harshly. I know it was a battle, but she was so drastic about it. All the other battles I see have this sense of honor or sportsmanship to them.

I suppose I could try reaching out to her. Maybe she needs a friend?

Maybe she needs a good kick in the ass.

Arceus I hate how tight her ass is! How does she do it? How does Laki do it? Gah! These girls aren’t even using makeup and they’re so pretty. It’s not fair!

No. Your value isn’t in how pretty you are. Remember what papa taught you; Lots of people are born without much, but what matters is how hard they try.

And you’re going to try.

Oh shoot. The ceremony is starting! Quick. Look poised!

Keira: I like the electric temple. The people here are so laid back. They don’t make everything into a big deal. I know I shouldn’t compare, we all have a role to play in life and death. But they’re one of my favorite temples to visit. The gizmos and stuff they work on aren’t my thing, but I’m starting to get why they like technology and progress so much. But like the elders on Eelilee say; you must maintain tradition to see the past and all those that come before you.

Who am I least close to? Hmmm. Nincada understands me. Same with Tropius. I’m blessed to have such nice pokemon on my journey. I’m surprised at how close I feel to Herb, since they always said outsiders have trouble understanding us. Herb doesn’t know our ways, but there’s an instinct there. He knows compassion and empathy. I bet he’d make a good cleric.

If I had to choose someone I’m least close to, it’s got to be Polu. He’s always avoiding me. The elders say that Kontote people can’t be trusted, but they said the same thing about mainlanders and so far Herb and Valerie seem nice. And they’re happy to take Jacobs money. Maybe they’re not-

No. I’m not supposed to question elders. They know things I don’t.

But nobody told me what sleeping with a boy would be like. Or smelling a boy. Or wanting to touch a boy, or kiss one...

Back to the task at hand! I’m a master meditator. I think about Polu. How can I improve my connection with him? Maybe just try talking to him more, I guess. Maybe Herb knows more about him.

Hana: Everytime I think about electricity, I think about that King Hydreigon movie where the giant Hydreigon was zapped by that power station. That was a great movie. Must have seen that a million times.

But I guess I should reflect on the connections I’ve made.

I’m glad Valerie is so accommodating. I hate being a burden. I know she doesn't want to use her high tech tent or yacht, but she’s been nice enough not to say anything. Still, she’ll start hating me eventually. Everyone looking after a needy cripple always does.

Is that why I never reach out to people? I’m afraid they’ll hate me because of how broken I am?

No. People and pokemon aren’t like that. Nobody hates the cripple. Pity, sometimes. But I’m not exactly at a disadvantage. I bet I could overpower even Laki if it came to it. I probably should say that out loud, though.

I’m worried about letting people get close because I’m a deviant, movie obsessed loser. It’s not my body that I’m afraid of showing people. It’s my personality.

I shouldn’t think like that. This is where I came from. I should focus on what Brother Hoon told me. Where is my weakest connection?

Not Herb. He’s nice. And we had our talk before. I’m still so embarrassed that he knows about my arm. I’m glad he’s understanding and not a gossip.

It just occured to me that Herb knows my favorite way to get myself off. I wonder if he thinks about it when he does it. Just the thought...

Nah. He’s got lots of pretty girls around to think about. I wouldn’t be on his mind.

Val is becoming a friend quickly, so not her. Not Keira, either. She had a nice talk with me. She doesn’t dance around my limbs. She just asks outright and doesn’t show any pity. That’s refreshing. Weird, but refreshing.

You know what? It’s not Polu or Jane either. Polu is interested in surfing the same way I’m interested in movies. I feel like even if we aren’t close, we get each other. At least, we get having a passion about something everyone else doesn’t care about. And Jane? Well, I understand how she feels, disconnected from the region. I spent so much time in a mainlander hospital that I’m a halfie myself.

Halfie. That’s a funny word. It has a different meaning for me, I suppose.

But getting back on track. I’m probably least close to Laki.

I wonder what she thinks about me. I see the way looks at Valerie. And Herb. I think there’s even some sexual tension between her and Jane, the way they’re always bumping chests and staring each other down. Maybe I just hope there is. That would be so hot.

Yeah. Laki is who I should connect to. I hope she doesn’t hate me. She never really talks to me.

I hope she wants to do things to me.

No nonono.

Laki probably feels awkward, like most people. More so. She’s an athlete. What are we going to talk about, sore legs? Spending a lot of time inside watching movies?

I guess if Laki doesn’t know what to say, I should make the first move. I hate feeling so awkward, but that’s more reason to try. I promised I’d go out and live, and I’ll do it.

I owe it to her.

Oh god. I'm actually a little terrified now. Hana has the ideas. Laki has the will to carry them through. If Hana learns to be forceful from Laki, we are actually going to die by snu-snu.

It's... beautiful. We need to make it happen in a lewdbin. Probably not actual death, but hospitalization due to pelvic destruction would make for an entertaining ending.

I imagine if both were drunk, Laki would be egging Hana on and want to join in. She'd end up getting a little more than she bargained for as Hana decided to reveal her power level, self-consciousness and good taste be damned.

It would probably play out like Laki's bin, where it all happens in Hana's head. Power trip fantasy where she overpowers and sexes both Laki and Herb? It'd fit her fantasies, I'm sure.

FYI, I'm torn between Hana and Kiera as best girl. Stuff like this is why I lean Hana.

It's not about how assertive he is in bed, he can get dom'ed by whichever waifu we pursue. It's about setting up boundaries and making it more than physical.

Basically saying that they won't do anything both parties are comfortable with. Even hardcore BDSM freaks do it, and I don't see Herb as anything but vanilla

I doubt he'd be any less assertive either, and he's gotten in some good practice for being firm, yet gentle.

[In bed I see Herb as being a pretty conceding guy to the point of being pushed too far and going full badass/JUSTICE mode.

I see Laki as being very dominant in bed unless her partner unlocks her hidden soft side. Normally she'd just take what she wants. Even getting cum on her face, she wouldn't ask for it, she'd consider herself as taking it.

Hana would be a dominant guy's dream. Very submissive, up for anything. With Herb she might have trouble actually getting anywhere because she'd be trying to get him to initiate, but once that flood gate opens she'd be slurping that gogurt down 24/7.]

Not just with whoever his love interest is, but his friends. It's easy standing up to enemies, it's hard standing up to your friends. I feel like that's something Herb will have to learn to get good at.

>>1021809
You see, this is exactly why good communication is important. Nobody's going to know you want to be submissive if you don't let them know. Nobody's going to know you don't want to be pushed around unless you let them know.

Herb would be a sensitive lover who asks lots of questions, not out of nervousness or naïveté, but because he wants to quickly zero in on his lover's needs and turn-ons.
>>
>>1021809
Way to shatter my illusion of Hana going full dom to live out her fantasies, Gobble. She definitely needs some Laki training IC. Herb needs to help make it happen.

I also just depressed myself by imagining someone going a mind break route on Hana to make her even more sub. I get the feeling it wouldn't be hard. My brain hates me.

>>1021816
[Jane would make it an absolute competition and lose hard and blame Herb for his devious dick. If you somehow got through her shell, she'd still be very pro-active.

Polu would be very cute and loving. Tender but fun. His main goal would be making his partner happy.

Keira would have no idea what to do but be an eager learner, and probably ask advice at very inopportune times. She'd congratulate Herb on every successful bedding. Probably high five after.

Val is hard to pin down. She's be a little bit of everything. She's a pretty balanced girl. She's practical and not very romantic, but also a little out of touch about what being practical really means to 99% of the population. She's confident about her looks, but not about her experience or skill (in life and bed).

>>1021853
If Hana actually felt secure about herself, she'd be very dom. But as of right now she's just an extremely hopeful sub who doesn't know how to communicate what she wants, which is loads down her throat, and other things that make her feel (sexually) useful]. She needs someone who'd make improving her self-worth a priority. If she actually felt like she was safe with it without worrying about making the one guy who'd tolerate having to date her hate her, she'd very much be all over that.

Kalty's wife wants another kid and would not waste a chance to try to get one. She does not actually see Herb as a potential partner. She's very loyal. She just wants her husband's attention more and feels neglected.]

Laki would say okay, very bluntly say that other holes don't count, and do everything she can to make him change his mind.. Most of which includes pinning him against the wall and teasing, groping, and taunting But still accepting no as an answer.]

Now there's a bin idea. Mr. and Mrs. decide to try for another kid.

Also, I could actually see Herb and Keira sexually experimenting with each other outside of a romantic context. Not usually super into that, but it works there.

Also also, I'm finding more and more that Hana and Polu are the best romance options.

>>1021926

But is he kissless? I'm gunning for yes!

>>1021940

But yaoi is the purest form of love, anon.
>>
>>1021967
Guy love is eh. But Polu seems cool enough, so I can experiment with including it as an option. It'll make a real mess of things on the girl end, though. Is it really worth the effort?
>>
>>1021993
Eh, Polu's already got an object of his affections. I just don't want to rule it out on principle, you know? That way if the timing and mood ever is right, we can at least give it a shot. I want Herb to impress Polu with his 8/4 zap canon.
>>
>>1022015
I figure if that ever happened, it'd be on the basis that Polu is okay with having a guy sex friend, but prefers women romantically. I don't think I could say the same for Herb, though. The confusion would probably make it difficult for Herb to be fully open with the girl of his choice, and that'd be bad for the relationship in general.

So let's try and tie everything off. Assuming a casual relationship with Polu, I could see Kiera, Laki, or Hana being okay with it and being willing to help Herb work through his confused feelings. Val would need Laki or Hana to tie her off. Jane is up in the air. Maybe Hana going sub would be stabilizing for her? Kiera could be okay on her own, but I'd rather not have anyone on their own.

So, end result there is unknown girl<->Polu<->Herb<->Kiera. Hana<->Jane. Val<->Laki. Laki and Hana could be switched, but I'm doubtful on Jane and Laki forming a relationship. I have trouble believing in opposites attract when the two sides clearly hate each other.
>>
>>1022060
Do we know what Jane's sexuality is? She might be straight. Val's willing to experiment, but since she hasn't done so yet we don't know if she's actually straight or mostly straight or fully Bi or what.

Also, I feel like if there's any time to be confused about your sexual and romantic preferences, it's about Herb's age. Having a guy and a girl sex friend would definitely force him to confront those clashing beliefs. It's a route I don't expect to happen, but if I were playing this game by myself I'd want to see what happens.

We very well might see more dating outside the group once we've route-locked. Who knows, maybe Jane will seduce our sister or something.
>>
>>1022095
You know what? I can see that happening. She'd do it in the hope of getting more info on Herb. It'd also give her some leverage over him in the event they're ever at odds.

Unless he's just using his family as a cover. If she takes her time trying to cozy up with them and it turns out Herb has kept them in the dark about his true manipulative tendencies, he could counter by further undermining her reputation and accumulating more allies. She'd end up leaving with nothing and facing an even more entrenched opponent! Should she really go through with it, or think up another plan? So much shadowrunning to do...
>>
>>1022117
I feel like if Herb found out someone was using their relationship with his sister as a tool it'd be an appropriate time for badass Herb to come out. In fact, I think all of the badass we've seen from Herb so far has been either feats of strength or friendship, none borne out of enimosity. Even standing up to Kalty was him talking out what made him uncomfortable.

Jane: What’s he planning? What’s he up to?

What was his game last night? Is he really a vulnerable guy, or am I being played?

No. Nobody packing what he’s packing has body issues.

I can’t believe I touched it. Twice. What was I thinking? The first time was an accident, but the second? I wanted control. But now he probably thinks he’s seduced me. Hmph. I’ll show him. I’ll show them all.

Think. This is a tradition. It deserves your whole focus. Who am I least close to? Not my pokemon. We spend so much time training together. They understand the slightest nod from me. Laki? No, we have a connection. Just not a positive one. That perverted Hana girl? She’s an outsider like me. Polu? No. He’s not a rival on the level of John, but he’s someone to keep an eye on. He could be a problem if I underestimate him. Keira? She’s the embodiment of our culture. There’s no way I’m not connected to our culture.

Who am I least close to? Dad. But that’s a connection that isn’t getting fixed.

Valerie. That’s who I should connect to. I don’t understand a thing about her. Her dad is a major player from the mainland, but she’s journeying with us? Why? What’s her endgame? Should I even try to make friends in a mainlander?

That’s a dumb question. Who would want to be my friend?

What about Chattot? It’s not a strong connection, but I think we get along well. What’s weird though, is how well I get along with Bella. She’s just such a cutie! And it’s nice to be a bit like her mommy. I don’t know what it is, but I just love how she looks up to me. I guess it reminds me a lot of how things were before the games.

Who should I improve my connections with? Well, Herb and I are doing well. I like that guy. He’s got a good spirit. And Jane might have a lot of anger, but I think as one of my rivals I can really connected over time. Even when we battled before I felt something.

Keira...well, probably best if I don’t get too close there. Might say the wrong thing.

Valerie. Yeah. I don’t know anything about how she thinks. She sure is cute. All the movies I saw had blondes being way bustier, though. But yeah, I should get to know her better. What do I even say? Herb is laid back and likes boobs, so that’s an easy opening. Maybe Val likes them too? She looks at Laki sometimes.

Mace: Is Herb going to make more of those noodles? I like the bread, but I hope he keeps up with the noodles. I got used to those.

I shouldn’t let that distract me. I should keep listening for anything. Herb and everyone else seem so oblivious to the dangers of the world. He even almost got me in serious trouble in that machine before. I trust him, but sometimes he’s just so naive.

The whole world wants to destroy you. Or at least, it’s indifferent to doing it. Everyone wants you to change or evolve, but what if I like who I am? Changing means the death of my identity. You’ve got to maintain who you are because the winds and rains and pressures of the world will turn you into something you weren’t.

Just look at Belladonna. She’s gone from being an egg, to being a small, cute plant (as cute as a grass pokemon can be, anyway) to being this new thing. I guess that’s okay if that’s what she wants, but it’s not for me. I guess change itself isn’t so bad, but everything always moves too fast. I’ve been around for a long time and it seems like everything is moving faster and faster. Can’t we just slow things down a bit?

But that’s why I like Herb. He has a lot to learn, but he’s taking things slow with me. I never thought I’d meet a trainer like that. But he needs me to keep vigilant while he learns how the world works.

>>1023105
Even setting aside that they obviously had no clear idea whether the doomed parallel world claim was plausible or not, she could have easily said "Okay, let's keep that in reserve while we try my ancient legend bullshit first." Instead she just destroys it because reasons.

“Go Gobble! Go Mace!”

Both pokemon go running to the battle area. Mace’s brace restricts his freedom of movement a little. A few bursts of energy come out, reminding you of some sort of F1 racer revving it’s engines.

Gobble cracks his neck. As lazy as he gets, even he seems eager to get in a good brawl here. He looks back to you with a question.

“Yes, you can have more bread after.”

He nods.

Polu’s two pokemon appear, too. Spiritomb, and Aron. Aron bounces from side to side in anticipation, while Spiritomb drags itself forward lazily. It’s spooky smile and cackle make you flinch a little. You see Keira shiver, then decide to go gather some berries instead of watch the battle.

Jane’s eyes narrow as she watches. You doubt a single detail will get by her. She produces a notepad.

Valerie has her pokemon do a cheer routine. She’s not picking a side. At least, nothing yet. They do a little cheer for each pokemon that comes go.

“Let’s do this!” Polu takes you out of your thoughts. “Spiritomb, Hypnosis! Aron, Mud Slap!”

You see the Spiritomb still has that tag that lets it be touched by Normal things.

>Have your pokemon turn away/defend for now.

Despite their lack of speed, they’re still moving faster than your pokemon. Aron, being more eager, runs towards Gobble and hits him with a Mud Slap, barely. Still, it gets in his eyes.

Mace counters with a Mud Slap of his own. Hard, heavy, and with a satisfying smacking sound that makes Aron almost trip as it comes running around the side. It’s a critical hit!

“Good job, Mace!”

Mace makes an acknowledging noise, but keeps facing the circling Aron. the metal pokemon has a heavy layer of mud obstructing it’s ability to see.

“Gobble, now, Metronome!”

Gobble waggles his fingers, concentrates, and sniffs!

What was that?

He narrows his view on Spiritomb. Like he’s got it locked on no matter what.

“Spiritomb, come on.” Polu pleads, scratching behind his own head. “Hypnosis!”

Spiritomb brings it’s face around and it’s eyes spin. It’s so...distracting...

You shake your head. But when you focus again, you see Mace has fallen asleep.

“Good job, Spiritomb!” Polu yells.

It hisses back at him, but there’s less vitriol in it than last time.

You hope this doesn’t last long. Gobble is alone otherwise.

>Gobble, shake Mace awake!

“Mace! Wake up! Gobble, Focus Punch that Spiritomb!”

You don’t think yelling to Mace to wake him up did anything, but it made you feel better. You probably need to get closer to him to be able to inspire him like in the movies.

“Aron, Metal Claw! Spiritomb, Dream Eater!”

The small metal pokemon rushes around Gobble’s side. He’s really getting fast, He comes running at Gobble’s side! Oh no!

But Aron goes too high. He zooms by with a slash, getting nothing but air. He comes to a sliding stop before getting too close to the river.

The ghost rips a dream from Mace. You see the purple dream energy fly out of the small Rock pokemon and into Spiritomb.

Gobble is closing in on Spiritomb now. Before he gets all the way, it cackles and very subtly removes it’s little tag that Keira put on it. It grins as Gobble throws his fist back.

WHAM! A burst of air flies out from the impact, pushing taller grass down against the ground in a circle.

The ghost pokemon, still attached to it’s rock like a tether, whaps against the ground. Slowly and without conscious effort, it vanishes into it’s containing stone.

Gobble shakes a little pain off of his hand.

“G-good try, Spiritomb.” Polu retrieves his blown out pokemon. “It’s all up to you, Aron.”

Aron looks a little disturbed, but he lowers his head and gets ready to fight. He can still do this if he’s fast. He charges.

Focus Punch would really hurt him, but the odds of pulling it off really aren’t in yoru favor, and using in twice in a row will take a lot out of Gobble.

The little metal pokemon rushes to attack, but what move it will use, you don’t know.

“Iron Head! Make Gobble flinch!”

Oh, that answers that. “Gobble! Grab him!”

Aron hits Gobble in the gut and bounces back a few inches. Gobble reaches out and grabs his head as he lands. That looks like it hurt, but Gobble can take it. The two push and pull against each other.

Mace stirs.

“Gobble! Hold on tight!”

“I knew you’d do that!” Polu yells. “Aron, Rock Slide. You can get free when he flinches!”

Uh oh. Polu can think on his feet.

Rocks are summoned above and come crashing down. To your surprise, they manage to completely miss Gobble. Must still have lots of mud in his eyes. The others smash down on Mace though, damaging the already hurt Pokemon.

He tries to get free, but Gobble keeps a solid hold.

Mace, who looks pretty worn down, gets ready to keep fighting.

Sir, I'm going to need you to put your dice away for the remainder of the session.

I'm sure you understand the necessity of such precautions.

Sorry anon, you're gonna have to be detained for the remainder of the night. Those rolls could cause deadly harm to a person or persons.

Poor, naive rollers these days. Not knowing the dangers that one bad roll can cause. Why, a bad roll could even kill a fan favorite of a quest!

I should know, I have an eye for these things.
>>
>>1024403
I wonder if we'll get a fuckup even slightly close to that level in this quest. Any bets? We canonically have bad luck, after all.

“Mud Slap!” You yell to Mace. He launches himself forward with his Macho Brace and hits the poor stuck metal pokemon in the side. It’s super effective!

Aron nearly comes loose as Gobble holds on. The mud coats his already blocked face. Despite all of this, Aron manages another attack when Polu calls for Rock Slide again.

The rocks come from above and crash all around. One whaps Gobble in the back, just barely getting him. Another few smash around Mace but ultimately miss.

Both Gobble and Mace are pretty worn out. Either one of them could go down from another solid attack. Aron is on his last legs.

Polu yells out. “Wait, we-”

Aron makes a noise, even as Gobble keeps him held.

“You want to stay in? Are you sure?”

Aron makes an affirmative noise.

“Alright. I believe in you!”

Truth be told, he could still take this, even if the odds are in your favor. He really has been training hard. But Aron’s got a lot of hurdles to get past.

Gobble is still holding on, but his grip is slipping with all the mud and from the rock hitting him.

Valerie and her pokemon are cheering for Aron. You don’t mind. He’s trying his best and he’s the underdog right now.

I ran the numbers, and all 3 numbers being less than approximately 30.7 has the same probability of one or more critfails.

Are critfails 1 only or 5-1? Are crust 100 only or 96-100? And 1 and 100 are just doubly successful? Are enemies still not getting extra dice? I'm not quite up to snuff on this.

“You’ve done really well, but we’re going to give you a hard licking!” Hana chokes on her water. “Gobble! Lick!”

Gobble holds tightly and leans over. He gives a weak, sloppy lick that fails to take down Aron. He grimaces at the taste of mud and as he tries to scrape it off his tongue, he lets go. Gobble is completely distracted from the fight right now.

“Now’s your chance! Got another Rock Slide in you?”

Aron shakes it’s head. He just used it twice in a row. He'll need a little time.

“Alright then, go for Mace! Iron Head!”

Uh oh. He’s already charging. Odds are good he’ll close the gap on Mace before he can do anything. But maybe you can get lucky. Poor Aron is running on fumes.

>Mace! Burst away!
>Try to Rock Blast him before he gets close
>Iron Defense, hurry!

>>1024568
Critfails look to only be on 1s. Crits are 96-100 as you can see like 5 Gobble post up. 1 and 100 cancel out. You can easily see that everyone gets extra dice.

Aron leaps to connect his Iron Head.

“Mace! Get out of there! Use your energy to burst away.”

Mace lets loose a powerful jet of energy to get out of the way. And he does! He gets out of reach and zooms around like a balloon losing are. He rockets away.

And away.

And away.

“M-Mace?”

“I’m not falling for that. Mace is going to come back and hit Aron in the back! Aron, quick, finish Gobble, then use Protect!”

The exhausted Aron starts it’s charge. It’s got pretty much nothing left. It's fighting on nothing but pride and willpower. It wants to do it's best.

“This isn’t a plan!” You yell as you run into the woods. You pop back out to recall Gobble right before Aron lands his attack. “Sorry!”

You push through heavier and heavier woods. He went in this direction. There’s no time to even think. You feel Bella leap onto your back and hold on tight.

Somewhere in the woods there’s the rapid pounding of metal on dirt and twigs. First behind you, then to the side somewhere through the thick canopy, then ahead. That’s got to be Hana. You’re running out of breath as she runs out of earshot.

After what feels like forever, you slowly come to a jog, then a fast walk as your lungs protest with fire.

“Mace!” You hoarsely whisper. Sweat drips into your eyes. You don't know how far you got, but it feels like a really good distance. You're not even sure if you went in a straight line. You're not exactly the outdoors type.

You hope he’s okay. How far could he have gone?

Well, when you have two good ideas, you might as well do both. You send Belladonna to hop up some trees to get a better view. At the same time, you lean down to Gobble and ask him to try Odor Sleuth.

Gobble starts sniffing. You look up and watch Bella. She looks around from way up high. It makes you a little worried to see her so far up. What if she falls?

She graciously hops down the branches. She slips on one for a second but easily catches herself without a problem. She drops herself into your arms.

“Did you see anything?

Bella points, then does some miming. She holds an arm up and makes a cute crashing noise, mimicking a tree collapsing.

“You saw a broken tree that you think Mace smashed through?”

She nods.

Gobble pulls on your pant leg. He’s pointing in a somewhat different direction and sniffing.

“You smell Mace in that direction? Are you sure?”

Gobble nods but makes a face. He’s mostly sure.

You decide to follow Gobble’s nose. Plus a tree could have been knocked down by anything, right?

“That way?” You confirm.

Gobble sniffs and nods.

“I appreciate the help, Bella. We’ll try Gobble’s way first, though.”

She pouts, but follows.

The three of you keep going for awhile. Gobble’s sniffs and leads the way, despite how worn out he is. You yell out every once in awhile, too. You think you hear the others yell sometimes, but it’s hard to be sure. The woods make sound bounce muffled.

Gobble gets more excited, like you’re getting closer. You’re glad.

Something moves in the woods ahead. Something else in the branches.

A thin jolt strikes at your feet. You look up and see a Raichu looking down at you. A few Pikachu pop out. Most scared or cautious, but a few emboldened by the larger pokemon’s brazen attutide as it hops down.

Raichu makes a gesture. You don’t understand Pokemon like Keira does, but the intent is clear.

Go away.

“Please. I’m looking for my pokemon, Mace. He’s a Roggenrola. Have you seen him? I can give you something. A-”

Raichu smacks the ground with it’s tail angrily. It doesn’t care what your problem is. This is it’s territory.

There’s something bugging you at the back of your mind. What of Mace is hurt or in trouble? You feel like time is a factor here.

>Walk right past it. Act dominant.
>Challenge it to a 1v1 with Bella

“Move. My friend is in trouble.”

You walk right by it. You feel the wind from it’s whooshing tail as you confidently stroll right past. You have to kill the urge to look back or even around. If you look just a little further ahead, you think you can see a clearing. Looks like there might be water. You-

Zap! A shock runs up your body. You fall forward, unable to move. You hear the sound of a battle behind you. After a short while, it does down. Things get a little fuzzy and a lot painful from there.

But as things get clearer, you find yourself sitting against a tree. A pikachu is holding a metapod up in front of you and you’re being stringed. It’s a sloppy job, but in your condition it’s enough. You look around and see Gobble against the tree next to you. The pikachu are poking it with your pokeballs, trying to figure out how to put him away.

Raichu is arguing with a pikachu. You’re still a little out of it, but you think they don’t know what to do with you.

Your back is killing you.

You hope Bella is okay, wherever she is. You really wish you knew where Mace was, too. Things have gotten bad to worse very quickly here.

A pichu is rummaging in your bag off to the side where nobody is watching

>Yell for help

Really most it would probably change is we'd see the attack coming before being hit.

I just dislike a random chance making us get into an initially bad situation, and then making it worse again.

It's stupid to punish the players because of random chance. I have always felt like this, it's neither interesting nor really impact-full in the long run and leads to salt on both sides.

You decide not to do anything risky for now. You need to figure out more about what’s going on.

But you have to ask. “Is Bella okay?”

Raichu and the Pikachu around it look at you. Raichu slaps the ground and yells something at you. As he turns around, you see a Pin Missile in the fur of his back. Beyond him is a thin trail of carnage.

“Did she get away?” You whisper to yourself.

A pikachu, one that was arguing with Raichu, offers you a telling look. She did!

And boy, that pikachu looks worried. He (or is it a she?) must not like the idea of kidnapping a human. It goes to find Raichu, probably to argue some more.

You work on loosening your string. It takes awhile because you’re trying to be stealthy about it, but your manage to make a lot of progress.

As time goes by, you hear your pokedex buzz a few times. Pichu scrambles away the first time and sniffs around it, but as time goes on it starts getting used to it and tries to grab some of the bread out of your bag instead. It can’t get into that pouch, though.

The pikachus around Gobble have all fallen asleep. You guess they aren’t the most disciplined guards.

“Gobble! They’re eating your bread!” Your voice cracks.

Gobble’s eyes shoot open. He sniffs.

“Your bread Gobble! The whole loaf!”

Gobble pushes against his string. He’s been sleeping for the last few hours on top of whoever long you’ve been out, so hopefully that’s enough time to at least be a little recovered.

His mouth slobbers and he pulls his arms free. The two pikachu around him stir awake. He punches one so hard it flies into a tree. The other scrambles away and shoots him with a thundershock, but he pushes through it and tackles the poor mouse.

He turns his attention to Pichu. It was chewing a small piece it managed to fetch out with it’s tiny hands.

Gobble leaps over, seizing the shocked, tiny yellow pokemon. It quickly surrenders the loaf. Gobble eats it whole.

Gobble bellows and shakes the poor thing, then holds out it’s hand.

Pichu spits out what it was chewing. Gobble quickly eats that too.

Gross, but flattering.

You rush over while all this is happening. You see yellow things start popping up not too far away. They definitely heard that.

Gobble breathes heavily. Despite his show of force, he's exhausted and far from in top shape.

“Gobble, let’s get out of here!”

Gobble holds the pichu for a second, trying to decide what to do. He holds back a fist, but unclenches it and sets the little guy down.

“Sorry, Pichu.” You feel bad for him. He just wanted bread, not this scary encounter. “Stay safe! And thanks, Gobble.” You finish securing your bag, tap Gobble with his pokeball, and start running.

You look over your shoulder a few times, watching out for yellow pokemon. You hear a lot of commotion back there. You’re running low on breath and find a tree to hide behind.

Once you have the moment to breath, you take out Gobble and spray him with a potion. You quickly put him back though. He seems confused at the quick in and out. You just don’t want to risk having more visibility than necessary. Aww man, your clothes are torn right up. You feel guilty that this bothers you when Mace and Bella are still out there somewhere. You’re still much more worried about them, but still.

You’re about to keep moving when you see a pikachu land on the log in front of you. It’s facing the other way and hasn’t spotted you yet.

Still think hitting the electric mouse with a metal pan is a terrible idea, to be honest.
>>
>>1025937
50/50 chance it has a rubber or padded handle but agreed.
>>
>>1025940
Depending on the amount of electricity released, due to the surprise attack, it may fry the handle (if it is rubber) and make scorch marks on the pan. That would most certainly ruin it. I know you already agreed, but I wanted to make a point as to why we shouldnt attack electric types in the future with it.

You stand perfectly still for a moment. Then, slowly, you back away so you’re not out in the open.

You’re practically holding your breath as pikachu sniffs and glances around.

Then it leaps away and vanishes into the forest. You sigh, then sneak away.

You wait a good long while before answering the buzz on your pokedex. When you do, you get Valerie.

“Herb! Herb, are you okay?”

“Yeah. I mean, nothing serious.” You look yourself over again. You feel like eight different kinds of hurt or uncomfortable.

“I found Bella. We’ve been calling for hours. Where are you?”

You fill her in on what happened, roughly. She listens and asks a few questions to clear things up.

“Where are you now?”

You look around. There’s nothing but trees. You can see the high point of the mountain.

“Umm, I don’t know.”

Gobble pulls your leg. He’s been sniffing around.

“What is it? Mace?”

He nods and points. You follow him through some brush. It takes longer than you’d expect, but you arrive at a muddy pond. There are several unclear blobs moving around in it, near a small dirt island.

Wait! There’s a rock on it. A Mace shaped rock! He’s hard to see behind the thin wall of reeds, but that looks like him! But what about those blobs? You don’t think you can retrieve him through the grass, and if you fail, you might alert whatever’s in the water.

Not damaging the pan is an excellent reason not to in the future. Can't lose that finish. All that sounds wise.

Speak normally at him to come closer, they have good hearing no need to yell

I like blobs, they sound fun

Please don't let this be what I think it is.

>>1025996
>>Yell to him. Maybe he can walk closer
Except don't yell, talk normally. His hearing is excellent, so if he's alert he should respond to us without alerting the blobs. If he doesn't, we can assume he's out for some reason.

Good night everyone. If we fail horribly, make sure we can at least say we tried to do the right thing at every given moment.

We don't want to return to the gang with broken bones, scorch marks, and missing fingers and toes. This would upset them.

>>1026035
I dono. I'd worry muks or grimers. Or those squishy dragons.

So what?

My first day of class is tomorrow.

I should be sleeping right now.

But here I am, having fun doing God-Emperor Krabapple's work.

“Mace.” You say at a normal voice. Mace has great hearing. If that’s him, he should hear. “Mace. Is that you?”

It stirs. It's hard to see exactly what's going on behind the grass.

“Mace! It’s me! Get up from the reeds and I’ll get you with the pokeball and get you out of there!”

What moves through the reeds isn't a rogenrolla. It’s a boldore!

Your heart sinks. Oh no. Oh no oh no! Mace! You stick out and shoot your pokeball to retrieve him. But it fails. You do it again, and it bounces off the pokemon.

It moves, and a rogenrolla pops up from beside it.

“Mace?”

It perks up.

“MACE!” You try not to yell. Tears stream down your eyes. You shoot the pokeball at him, getting him dead on. You immediately release him close to you and hug him. “Mace! Are you okay?”

He rests against you and makes a weak noise. He’s so tired.

“But you’re okay?”

He hugs you. Gobble nearly tackles him with a hug, too. The three of you share a heavy, long embrace. You cry. A lot. “I was so worried.”

After a while, it’s time to break it up. Mace gestures to the pokemon across the pond. The boldore looks cautiously at the circling blobs.

“Is that a friend of yours?”

He slowly nods. That boldore needs your help!


[That’s it for tonight. Sorry it didn’t start as early as intended. We should be running a few times this week]
