Hopefully less typos edition.Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Pokemon%20QuestTwitter: https://twitter.com/GobbleQMPastebin: http://pastebin.com/tSNKt0WmMy work and personal life have been insane since I started the quest and my brain is a bit fried. Sorry if there are more grammar/spelling issues than you'd normally expect fromGeneral Overview: There is a 5 minute voting period after each post, unless specified otherwise. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible by the QM's limited writing ability. 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. 'Other' or 'Write-In' responses are always welcome and encouraged and as many will be included as much as possible (again, according to the QM's limited writing ability).-----------------------You slept well. It took a long time to get Robin to just relax and go to sleep after your little joke. It was worth it though. The mental image of the face she made is getting safely tucked away in your inner vault. It really is a shame you didn't take a picture.Waking up is hard. You're very comfortable. You don't remember why, but you felt disappointed earlier when something warm and soft you were snuggling with retracted it's grip from you. Your ears are alert first. Someone is making breakfast. Your nose agrees. It smells good.(continued)
Lazily, your eyes drag themselves open, but not before getting a few extra long blinks in. You get dressed and crawl out of the tent, where you see Robin making pancakes. Your stomach protests that Taste hasn't gotten a turn yet, and demands that you exercise it immediately You are happy to comply. Robin hands you a plate and you dig in"Umphghg!" You say between bites. "Gohmaeghuhd, gdish ish sho ghood." You can feel your eyes roll almost to the back of your head. Robin just tries to quickly brush a little of the pancakes off your cheek and smiles before going back to eating hers. Finally you swallow. "Where's Vance?"Robin points with her cutlery. "He's doing some exercise over there."Your eyes follow Robin's fork as it descend back down to her plate. That's when you notice it, just beside her. The Hounder Robin took from her dad is sitting patiently and silently beside her. You don't even need to see the markings to know that it's not Devon. Devon always full of energy, and the few times he isn't, he wants to cuddle or rest his head on your lap. This Houndour is practically a statue. He must have a lot of discipline. Robin tosses him a the last bit of her pancake, and his stoicism evaporates."Good girl!" she says. You are corrected, it's a girl.After scarfing down the rest of your food, you head over to where Robin pointed. Vance is grimacing as he's doing pushups. "C'mon Vance. No pain, no gain". He still looks like he's in rough shape from his fight. That's right, you promised you'd help train him. It probably won't take that much of your time.>Tell him to push as hard as he can>Time for him to let out Ursaring>Give him a training exercise (write-in)>Other[ten minute vote period]
>>29612189Aww yeah, time for some feels.
>>29612316>Give him a training exercise (write-in)Yoga time!
>>29612316>"Gohmaeghuhd, gdish ish sho ghood." You can feel your eyes roll almost to the back of your head. Robin just tries to quickly brush a little of the pancakes off your cheek and smiles before going back to eating hers. Finally you swallow.Jesus Christ mah dick
>>29612316Point out that he should be working on his partnership with his pokemon, not just his physical strength.
>>29612316>Time for him to let out UrsaringIf he's still in rough shape from the fight, we probably don't want to push him.
>>29612316>Take out Devon to meet the Houndour>Tell Vance to take a short break before we start with Ursaring.
>>29612316>Time for him to let out Ursaringmight be smart to also let out his Machop also.
>>29612316>>Time for him to let out Ursaring AND his machipTime for team building exercises! 3-way rumble!

>>29612316Send out Devon and start breeding the perfect Houndour!OK, send him out and watch them play and be cute dogs.
>>29612316tell him how to improve his moves. Bullet seed only works if he keeps a pouch full of nuts, etc. At this rate, you should update the pastebin with the moves Robin's pokemon know and the moves Vance knows.also, I think Ursaring will appreciate watching its new master's abilities.
>>29612316Tell Vance to eat, or if he has already, then he can hold off and let Ursaring and Machop out to train with him.Get your own pokemon out for training too.
>>29612316>Time for him to let out Ursaring
>>29612491Physical activity after a meal is a bad idea. You should wait a few hours before exercising.
>>29612510>>29612465These
>>29612539Agreed.
>>29612530Hmmm, actually a good point.
You decide to let out Devon, your Houndour, so he can play with Robin's Houndour. You tell Devon to go play with the other Hounder and he runs off. You hear Robin giggle and say "Devon! Stop it"! He must be licking her face or something."Alright Vance, I think it's time you met Ursaring as her trainer for the first time." Is it a her? You suppose it doesn't really matter right now.Vance hesitates. Then braces himself for a fight and reaches for his Pokeball. "OK, here goes.""Wait!" You stop him. "Take out Machop first, just in case."Vance takes out his Machop, who assumes a fighting stance right away."Ok Ursaring, come on out!" Vance yells. The sound of a Pokeball opening makes you and Machop suddenly more alert. The form of the giant Pokemon fills an empty space and makes the entire area feel just a little smaller. Ursaring looks like it just woke up from a nap. It rises to it's feet and lets out a mighty roar as it sees Vance.>Tell Vance to fight it with Machop>Tell Vance to try to pet it while you play the flute>Tell Vance to wait, and see what it does>Something else

>>29612838"Shaddap, you big teddy bear."Snap and point at Vance's feet while staring down Ursaring.
>>29612982Apparently not Devon.That 100
So we already know water gun can shoot Destiny off of the ground to dodge shit, what other creative ways can we use moves for tactical superiority?
>>29612982Vance! Use Toxic!>uhh, are you sure?Yes!>Vance Farts!
How about creating mud so our opponents' movements are hindered, but that would require a lot of water.
>>29613074Might work, hell we could even use it to try to make rock slippery too
>>29612838"Maintain eye contact, but don't glare. You and the ursaring both have to know that you, the trainer are the dominant one; but, you also have to know that you're teammates." Then, toss Vance some syrup. Bears love syrup. "Slowly approach, hands out, offering the food. Try to get some petting in. You have to build strength ib your bonds as well as your body."
Vance assumes a fighting stance that mirrors Machop's.You keep your eyes on Ursaring, but move your face to speak to Vance. "Just hold on. See what Ursaring does first." You take out your flute. You hope Vance doesn't take that as a lack of faith in what you just instructed him on.Vance and Ursaring stare at each other for a good long while. The air is thick with tension. Finally, Vance moves first. He starts to mimic Ursaring's posture, which can only be described as the obvious form of an angry bear. Vance begins to move closer to it. It's mouth shoots open and it displays it's teeth. There's a menacing growl, but little actual movement from Ursaring.Vance stops.>Tell him to continue>Play the flute>That's enough for now>Something else
Oh, Gobble you didn't put outrage in Destinies movelist
>>29613101But it could also give an advantage to some pokemon like Quagsire which is a Water/Ground if I remember correctly.
>>29613122Tell him to keep the bearlike posture, but to make it less aggressive.
>>29613122>Tell him to continueMight as well do it himself if possible.
>>29613122>Tell him to continueDisplay your dominance, Vance.
>>29613122>Play the fluteSit on the ground, play flute. When it's pacified, rub its head to show you're all bros now.

>>29613202linked it before that post posted>>29613170>>29613129We still need to spend time figuring out all of our pokemons moves, like what Devon was bred for. and see if Zappy Dan and Vlad have anymore.
>>29613193He already fought the bear, surely it can't go worse than that in one swing.
>>29613233We should take our pokemon to a specialist in the next town to figure out their abilities and research all the moves they're capable of.
>>29613223meat to link you in a post but i clicked the post numbers just before a post i had qued posted.
Theoretically, could we use a sonic boom to stop projectiles like bullet seed or leech seed?
Vance keeps facing the menacing Pokemon, but He looks to you for guidance. You point your head towards Ursaring and mouth 'keep going', then you take your flute back up to your lips. He keeps slowly advancing until he's withing touching, or striking distance. Ursaring's growls are loud now, and it extends it's claws.Still Vance doesn't back down. He maintains eye contact, but doesn't move closer. Ursaring keeps it's posture, but doesn't seem to want to fight again unless pushed.The situation seems to be at a standstill. At least, that's what you thought. Vance steps on a twig, which causes the Ursaring to tense up once more and bring it's paws back in preparation to strike. Machop comes rushing in from behind Vance and starts attacking it. You start playing your flute, but the two Pokemon are scrapping hard and you're not even sure if you're registering to them at all.>Tell Vance to retrieve Ursaring>Tell Vance to retrieve Machop>Tell him to retrieve both>Something else
>>29613421"Vance, tell them to stop. Be authoritative!"
>>29613421Tell Vance to asset his dominance.If the pokemon doesn't respect him it won't obey him in battle
>>29613421Assert dominance upon both Pokemon.
>>29613421>Tell Vance to retrieve bothUrsaring is in a threatened mood now, probably easier to just try again later.
>>29613421>>Tell him to retrieve bothits a washtry again later
>>29613421>Something Else"Show him you're the master in this relationship, otherwise it'll always be like this"
>>29613421>"Vance, tell them to stop. Be authoritative!"If that fails, then pull them both back.
>>29613421>Tell Vance to retrieve UrsaringWe done fucked up
>>29613421Break, recall the Machop, talk to and feed the Ursa.
>>29613482"Kats eat Robins, Vances beat bears! Show him you're the boss!"Slap Robin's ass for emphasis.
>>29613421Vance needs to show them he calls the shots.
>>29613421Assert yourself, beat everything to the ground.
Roar at Ursaring in as shrill a tone as possible.
>>29613455This.
>>29613421Have Vance whip out Penis and wave it dominatingly at the Ursaring.
>>29613421Be assertive. B E ASSERTIVE.
"Vance, tell them to stop. Be authoritative!"Vance immediately jumps into the fray. He grabs Machop by the arm and pulls him off, and pushes Ursaring back with a one-handed shove. He yells at both of them, "STOP!" It amazes you at how much physical power he can just summon like that. Machop tries to come in for another go at it, but he holds it back. On his other side, Ursaring tries to push passed Vance to get at Machop, and he grabs it by the scruff and pushes it hard against a tree.Both Pokemon stop moving. He glares and Machop first, who backs down easily. He glares and Ursaring right after. It snarls and even roars, but doesn't make a move to outright attack him.Before things explode again, you start playing the flute. After a few moments, Vance lets go of both Pokemon. "That's better. Nobody fights unless I tell them." He glares at Machop when he says that. He turns back to Ursaring. "I don't want to fight you. You're my Pokemon now, and I need you to trust me." Ursaring doesn't do anything for a moment, then just snorts and looks away. "Well try again tomorrow." Vance recalls Ursaring to it's Pokeball.(continued)
>>29613840'Atta boy
and i'm reminded i'm on 4chan, tg or not
He looks at Machop. "I don't know if you were trying to protect me or if you just wanted a rematch. You shouldn't attack without me saying so, understand?"Machop kicks at the dirt like a small child, then nods. Vance recalls him. He walks over to you "Thanks. I know things didn't go as great as we hoped, but I don't think I'd be willing to try again if you weren't here." He puts his large hand on your small shoulder. "We'll try again tomorrow, if that's alright with you." His smile is genuine and encouraging, from what you can read. He doesn't wait for an answer. He just heads back to the campfire where Robin is. You see Robin give you an encouraging wave in the distance before each Houndour drags her attention away as they play with her.You guess it's time to decide which Pokemon you`ll train this morning. You'll probably only be able to give your attention to two if you want to do anything fairly specific with that Pokemon.>Focus on training two (specify which ones)>Train them all (specify a stat or train to focus on)>Something else[ten minute vote period]

You feel the Pokeballs in your hand as you decide. You haven't given Trunks, your Phantump, any attention yet. It's also been awhile since Zappy Dan had a chance to shine too. Alright!"Zappy Dan, Trunks! Come out!"Zappy Dan just floats there. He looks neither interested or bored. He's just there. He probably won't mind if you take a minute to talk to Trunks."Hi Trunks!" You lean your your knees and smile at the little ghost. "I'm Kat." Trunks looks at you with it's big, wide eyes. It looks almost...scared? Shy maybe? You stick your hand out. It floats forward and instead of shaking it, rubs it's face against it. "I think we're going to get along just fine!" It rubs your hand again."It's so cute!" Robin says. You didn't even hear her come over because you were focusing too much on Trunks. She pets it and it rubs against her hand too. You look back and see Vance taking a turn playing with the Houndours.You spend a few minutes asking Trunks what moves it knows and getting to know it better. With Robin's help, you're able to identify Tackle, Confuse Ray, Astonish, and Growth. You pet Zappy Dan as Robin helps explain the moves in more detail.>Expand it's move pool (Specify if you want to focus on a particular move)>Train it to be stronger (Specify a particular stat if you'd like)>Something else

>>29614494In that case, I think dig would be a good choice.Dig is a pretty useful move that can evade, and do damage, it should be fairly simple to teach as well

>>29614496Remember we could of had a golett
Seems like it should be able to learn Bullet Seed... and Vance 'knows' it? I mean, it learns Leech Seed naturally, so some machine-gun action should be possible, right?>>29614538It's Feint Attack, as in, feinting to get past someone's guard.
>>29614538It's A faint, not fainting you know faking them out, a false move ect
>>29614548Fuck Golett too. We can always change pokemon.It's not like a seventh pokemon will magically disappear into the air
>>29614565good, it's a typo. I was worried that pokemon got even weirder than I first thought.
>>29614571It's "Feint," you illiterate fucks.
>>29614565Good idea, get Vance to teach Trunks Bullet Seed. Should be easier to learn with a tutor who knows the move.
>>29614441>>29614496It's pretty great as utility and to slowly chip away. Curse and leech seed go together pretty great in forcing a switch, or just killing it. Not that that makes for a very good story.>>29614571That would be feint. The move is faint, as in hard to see. I.e. "Faint source of light" It's a dark move where they attack from shadows, and it's hard to see in shadows.
>>29614538it was supposed to be Feint, feint attackthey didn't fix it until gen 6
>>29614571I thought that was "feint", not "faint".
>>29614565It doesn't learn bullet seed, why don't we try teaching something it can learn?
>>29614595>>29614604Ah fuck me

>>29614603that's...a LOT less useful sounding than feint attack.

>>29614742Explosion.
>>29614742I think most people agree we want some more offense on him, we just don't know what he is actually capable of learning to do in this, which is actually IC. So... just work on experimenting.
>>29614761Robin already has that one.
>>29614804thought that was sploosh
>>29614742Saying Will-o-wisp, again. From a game standpoint, we can switch this guy in against fighting types, a weakness of ours, be immune, then cripple it with burn.
>>29614742Some sort of offensive grass move, which will help plug a few holes in our offense. I don't know what Gobble will allow, though; grass knot, energy ball, Horn Leech, or Wood Hammer are all candidates.
>evolves by tradingI'm glad I didn't catch you in Y
>>29614742some sort of physical grass or ghost move.
Personally, I'd like to ask Robin more about trainer etiquette.
>>29614853>trade for Robin's Graveller>trade backWell that was easy.
>>29614858Astonish? Might lead into something that's actually useful.
Shadow Claw seems like a good move to teach Phantump.
>>29614882Considering how blatant that is, I'd refluff it from "Nintendo wants you to get friends to buy Pokemon so they have more money" to "some Pokemon have difficulty evolving without some experience from a different training style".

Robin lists off a few moves that a Phantumpt can learn, according to her Pokedex. A few sound interesting."Alright Trunks! Let's do this!" You focus on Feint Attack. A move that can't miss sounds pretty appealing. You take a few pebbles off the ground and toss them into the air "Trunks! Use Feint attack!"Trunks tackles a single pebble, and looks to you to see if it did the right thing."That's close, but try to harness your...I don't know, ghostliness." You another pebble up. This time Trunks strikes at it with a slightly dark aura, but misses. You keep at it for awhile, and the accuracy slowly improves. After a few more tries, Trunks is able to hit the pebble each time. Trunks smiles up at you for affection after each success.You pet trunks on the head. "Good Trunks! You're a quick learner."You're just about to give Trunks a rest, when he fires off a seed in the same arc that you were tossing pebbles. It bounces off your head. He looks proud that he was able to mimic you. "Close Trunks, but I don't think you're all the way there yet. Keep at it though." Trunks lets out a happy noise and tries to summon another seed to fire off. He struggles for a minute and nothing happens. Then a see falls out from on top of his head. It doesn't seem to do anything when it hits the ground. "We'll work on it Trunks. You're probably passed the hardest part I bet. Don't push yourself too hard." He looks up at you happily. Robin latches onto Trunks before you can say anything else. "He's so cute!"Now it's Zappy Dan's turn.>Expand Movepool (specify)>Focus on general strength (Specify a stat if you want)>Something else

>>29615071>>29614986Could we get a confirmation on how moves like that work? They just make you faint right? No suicide pokeymans plz by default at least
>>29614986>Expand Movepool (specify)Magnet Rise. Do we get a bonus for him obviously already being able to do that?
>>29615142'Both our pokemon are dead, lets call it a tie'
>>29614986Let's go for Special Attack.
>>29615150Probably works by making him overload resulting in a giant burst of electricity before he faints.>>29615177>DeadOf course they don't die.
>>29615119Oh, got Zappy Dan mixed up with what's-his-name-Vlad. In that case, still Special Attack, for the exact same reason.
>>29615163We should have that by default, like gastly getting levitate.It wouldn't make sense if he didn't
>>29615194Well trunks is already dead.
>>29615150Going by anime rules, where explosion and self-destruct and other fainting moves are nonlethal, and sometimes even beneficial to some Pokemon. For example, the fluff about Voltorbs needing to do one of those moves once in awhile to let off excess energy. It's exhausting and causes a faint but not painful or considered 'cruel' unless you abuse it.
>>29615235Not through moves like explosion.I mean, they used it in the anime
>>29615254and Destiny Bond?
>>29615254Gobble, do wild MissingNo. roam free in this region?
>>29615254See guys?Maybe we don't need to constantly use it, but it has a base damage of 170 damage, and when we know we can't win otherwise at least we'll have a last resort.Contingency plans are important.
>>29615273Same deal. Exhausting, and causes a faint, but ultimately harmless and won't cause issues unless you ask your Pokemon to do it constantly. Some trainers or Pokemon might feel robbed or offended if you just lead with it or use it unnecessarily.
>>29615219Look at Magnemite's typing. Giving it Levitate by default would make it weak only to Fire and Fighting. It resists almost everything else.
>>29615356How the hell else would it move, by rolling around on the ground like a voltorb? It's pretty stupid to have a levitating pokemon be effected by earthquake
>>29615332That's a fair point, you could even argue that it's overpowered. I'll throw a vote in for explosion
>>29615389maybe it's low flying, and needs to learn levitate to reach a high enough altitude to not be affected by ground moves.
>>29615389That's where trait typing should come in.
>>29615431Well, if Gobble wants to clarify he can, but I think it's silly to not give a pokemon that levitates to move levitate.
>>29615431hovercraft ground effect vs bird flight is a good way to think of it
>>29615524an earth quake ouldn't affect a hovercraft
>>29615565it could if the earth splits and shoots up into the air.

"Zappy Dan, let's focus on your defense. I want you to be a steel wall." Nothing will hurt Dan if you can help it.Now how to train this...You see a pile of rocks nearby. Maybe that will work. You take a medium sized one and walk back to Dan. "OK, I'm going to balance this on you, and add a few more. Tell me if it gets to be too much, OK?"Dan spins his magnets in confirmation.You put the rock on him, and he hovers a little lower. He already naturally hovers pretty low to begin with. You then take over a bigger one, and manage to balance that on him as well, but it forces him to touch the ground. After a few more rocks, he's buried in them on the ground. You keep asking if he's OK, to which he confirms with a sound. After a while you feel can't see Dan anymore. You can still hear him when you ask for him though."OK Dan, now I want you to stay still, and blast your way out. Understand?"A small pebble explodes from the pile and whizzes right by your face. You didn't think this part through. You grab Robin and Trunks and make your way behind a tree for cover. Bits of rocks start exploding out like popcorn. Pow! Zing! There's a Thwack as a rock smacks into the tree you're hiding behindBOOM! Then silence.You peer out and see that he's destroyed the pile entirely. That last shot felt a lot more powerful. Zappy Dan's form is revealed as the dust settles."I don't think that last one was Thundershock" Says Robin."Dan, can you do that last move again?"Zappy Dan tries to produce and fire an electrical bolt, but it fizzles out before he reaches full power."You must need some time to recharge. We'll try again soon, OK?"[Zappy Dan has gotten moderate gains in Defense and Special Attack, and is close to being able to use Thunderbolt!]It's getting to be time to hit the road. Vance seems to have been packing things up while you were training.>Seek out Trainers on the road>Look for Pokemon (First d100 is the roll for the encounter table)>Something else

>>29615686lets go find some trainers
>>29615734Mountains and volcanoes are formed over milennia, and the tectonic movements that cause them to form, cause earthquakes, not the other way around. They don't just rise up from out of nowhere because of an earthquake.Fissures on the other hand, most definitely are revealed by earthquakes.
>>29615761uh, you don't need to throw a pokeball at everything that pops out of the brush. Wild pokemon are usually training fodder.
>>29615806fissure is a completely different move

>>29615806fair enough. Any other ideas on how earthquakes can hit a low-flyer, or is Zappy Dan just affected by the change in magnetic field by the earthquake or something?
>>29615826we are going for xp (unless whatever we find is shiney/rare)... just had a thought! Do traded pokemon get extra XP in this quest?
>>29615861Yeah, but you never know when the next trainer that walks down the street is packing an Infernape or something. We don't have the games controlled progression to safeguard us.
>>29615686>Seek out Trainers on the roadgotta get dat cash, gotta get dat EXP
>>2961587599% of earthquakes only cause shaking
>>29615833>>29615875hang on, what if fissure the move makes you split the earth with a strike, while earthquake makes a fissure form the natural way?
>>29615930because fissure is a 1hitko and if an earthquake caused one it would be op as fuck.earthquake makes the earth quake. kinda self explanatory.
Just going to state that ground moves will work on Pokemon like Magnemite. It's really just better to assume that the general mechanics are like the game unless state otherwise, but you're able to improvise a bit more.The actually physical way it connects depends on the circumstances at the time. Unless a Magnemite or other 'floating' Pokemon has an ability, move, or special circumstances, you can assume it will connect.
>>29615963so you perform a strike that forms a fissure on the OPPONENT?>cue cracks on cloyster, a voltorb split in twoearthquake the move always seemed kinda meh to me. The worst it can do in a pokemon battle is make the opponent stumble and fall, how is that dangerous?
>>29615929I'm aware of that, however, subterranean caverns can and will cave in during more powerful earthquakes, which sometimes reveals them to the surface, it's rare, but it's a thing that actually happens at least, unlike the earth rising sharply.
>>29615965THHHHHHhhhankyou.Now, back to our regularly scheduled quest.

You lead your group a little bit off the path and keep an eye out for any new Pokemon.Robin and Vance are engaged in a little chitchat with you in the walking in the middle. It's a beautiful day, and just feeling the slight warm breeze on your face makes it hard to even listen to them. You can hear the sound of your group's footprints, the leaves blowing in the wind, and in the bushes just off the path you there's the the soft rustling of... actually, what is that?Vance's voice suddenly makes itself heard in your ear. "And then I said, 'more like HitmonYOU!'" The sound you heard is drowned out by Robin's laughter. Vance jabs you in the ribs with his elbow playfully, temporarily knocking the wind out of you. You extend your arms back and stop them in their tracks, then give them both a shushing gesture and point to the bushes. They both quietly follow as you make your way to the brush to peer passed ot.Not too far away you're able to make out a Pokemon. It's small yellow bug-looking one with pointy hair. You're not sure if it has four eyes or just two. It doesn't seem to have noticed you at all yet.>Use Pokedex>Use your flute>Ask Vance or Robin if they want to battle it>Toss out a Pokemon (Specify)>Other

>>29616281>Ask Vance or Robin if they want to battle itwe're already good on electric types

>>29616328I really like him too, but I like Dan more
>>29616281>Use Pokedex
>>29616281Wait no, we should ask Robin and Vance if they want to catch it too
>>29616281>Ask Vance or Robin if they want to battle itMuh Zappy Dan is the only electric type we need.
Thinking on how to rationalize Earthquake; perhaps imagine a strike to the ground so powerful it shatters, moving large chunks of earth to crash into everything in a radial wave. It's something so devastating it is on par with Inferno and Legendary Signature Moves like Searing Shot and Sacred Fire.
>>29616546No, he said he'd describe it so drop it.
>>29616546HULK SMASH!!!!!
>>29616281>>Ask Vance or Robin if they want to battle it
You take out your Pokedex and make sure the volume is set very low."Joltik, the Attaching Pokémon. Joltik attach to other, large bodied Pokemon to absorb static electricity." The Pokedex reads that it's a bug and electric type.Huh. Guess it has to work at least once in awhile. You look back at your companions. "I already have an electric type. Does anyone here want to battle it?""I think I'll have my hands full with Ursaring for awhile," Vance says. You both look at Robin."Well, I don't know..."You give her a sly smile. "Come on. I thought Robins ate bugs." Her eyes widen. "No wait, I have that expression mixed up. I think it was more like 'Ca-" Robin's hand covers your mouth."I'll go check it out! I love bug Pokemon!" She suddenly seems very enthusiastic about it. Vance looks completely confused.Robin leaves the cover of the bush and lets herself be seen. The furry little yellow Joltik turns to face her."Hey little guy." She extends her hand. The Joltik doesn't look like it's happy to have a human come near it though. It hisses and leaps at her. Robin is barely able to get a Pokeball out in time.In a flash of light, Geodude appears. He intercepts the bug and pushes it back.>Let her battle, cheer her on>Give advice (specify)>Play the flute>Something else

>>29616720"Robin! Use Waterfall!"
>>29616720>Let her battle, cheer her onShe's got this.And if she doesn't, well, we don't have to abide by Pokemon League rules with wild Pokemon, do we?
>>29616720Cheer, but not tease let her get this shit done
>>29616720pop open a soda popoffer a Fresh Water to Vanceenjoy the show
>>29616789Well, if we're trying to catch them we might want to, otherwise I dont think so.
>>29616720give advice to Vance? So far, Robin is plenty competent in battling.flute might be a little obnoxious, since it's her fight, not ours.
>>29616835Ooh, good idea. And if we don't do it now, we can always do it as an after-action report.
>>29616720>>Let her battle, cheer her on"You already got type advantage. You got this in the bag!"
>>29616835We don't need too, Vance isn't an idiot
>>29616720Ganbatte! Robin!
"Go Robin! You've got this!"She gives her signature little nod, then focuses her attention on the fight. "Thanks Geodude. Now follow up with a Roll Out!" You watch as Geodude brings it it's arms and rolls at the small bug. Just from the first move alone you can see that Robin shouldn't have much trouble.You turn to Vance. Time to act sagely. "I want you to watch carefully.""Watch which one carefully?">Tell him to observe Geodude, see what he picks up>Tell him to watch Joltik, try to learn from it>Watch how Robin handles the fight>Something else
>>29617020>Watch how Robin handles the fightI think he needs tactical thought the most, not necessarily better moves.
>>29617020>>Watch how Robin handles the fightLearn how it's done, Vance.>We also pay attention, see if there's anything we can pick up from Robin
>>29617020Tell him to watch everythingHe's not a stupid kid who needs his hand held, he's perfectly capable of watching without us saying to.
>>29617020Have him watch Geodude. Meatheads gonna meat... plus if he oggles our bird, we're gonna bash in his shins m8.
>>29617020>Watch how Robin handles the fightmind the body language, the look in her eyes, the firmness of the tone of her voice
>>29617020>Tell him to watch Joltik, try to learn from it'Fights won't always go your way. When shit hits the fan, it's important to know how to salvage the situation'
>>29617020either watch Joltik's grab attacks, or watch how Robin reacts. He needs tactical skills just as much as new moves.
>>29617020>Watch how Robin handles the fightHe needs to learn how to control his Pokemon.
>>29617020>>Watch how Robin handles the fight"Your weakest link is the connection you have over your pokemon. Watch Robin's connection to geodude and how they handle the fight. That is your task, young grasshopper."
>>29617020"Check out Robin. Isn't she cute?"
>>29617114no. This is why WE are checking out Robin
>>29617106that
>>29617114We don't want her checking out RobinRobin is ours
>>29617206Do you know something about Vance that we don't?
>>29617106Why are we speaking like some sort of expert when we haven't even seen him in an actual pokemon battle?
>>29617227because we've seen how retarded he is just handling his pokes in situations that DONT involve training. he's a complete retard when it comes to maintaining order over more than one thing at a time. he needs to learn how to work with more than just his machop in his team.
>>29617274And you can base all of that off of one event where his machop was trying to defend him? What about all of the other training he does with him every morning.Am I the only one who feels like someone whose been into pokemon for less than a week has no business teaching pokemon. I mean we're still reading pamphlets.
>>29617336to be fair, its easy to claim to have business teaching him when everything we know about him suggests he's a complete meathead
>>29617106dis
>>29617336But it isn't kat teaching him, it is the unending knowledge of /tg/.
>>29617461dear god the boy is doomed
"Look at-" What was it called again? Oh yeah, that's right. "Look at Joltik. It's laying down webs, keeping it's distance. Geodude is hard and scary, and it's stalling until it can learn more."Vance nods, concentrating on the fight. You can see him move a little to try to mimic it's movements."The fight is about more than just being stronger. Watch how Geodude rolls. He could be going faster, but he keeps his arms out just slightly to be ready to use them if he needs to. He's also taking a path that's just a little out of the way to try to force Joltik into a corner." You're making it up as you going along, but it doesn't feel like it. It's more like your sharing your revelations as they come. You don't let Vance know that, of course."That didn't happen by accident. See how Robin positions herself behind Geodude? She's naturally moving over to signal to Geodude where she wants him. She doesn't have to tell him, she can just depend on body langauge." Now that you think about it, it's very impressive how quickly she's able to establish that connection. She just caught Geodude recently.(continued)[sorry about the constant continues. Lot of great suggestions and I end up adding in or rewriting sections]
>>29617524"Pay attention to her movements. See how she uses her arm every time she gives a command?" Vance nods. He's concentrating hard. "Your biggest weakness is your connection with your Pokemon. Robin can already direct her newly caught Geodude seamlessly. Try to see why that is." Vance is taking it all in. You can see the gears turn in his head. Good, you're really flying by the seat of your pants. Speaking of pants, look at Robin. "Look at Robin. See her body...language. Concentrate on the tone and firmness of her..." You stop to put your finger under Vance's jaw and tilt his head up a little bit, "Voice."Vance smiles boyishly. You struggle not to follow where his eyes were and keep the high, wise facade going. Before you have to do much else though, Robin tosses out a Pokeball. It bounces and wiggles, but before it even stops you can tell it's going to be caught.Robin returns, excited, arms out, ready for a hug of celebration. Vance is moving in.>Group hug!>Manuever the situation to group high-fives>Intercept him, get a hug monopoly>Something else

Oh no he doesn't. Not after you caught him checking her out."Great job Robin!" You run passed Vance and give her a great big hug. Before he can squish you from behind again, you spin her out of his reach. He won't be able to butt in like this!He quickly proves you wrong and times his inclusion just right. Robin ends up squished between the two of you. You and Vance end up with your faces inches apart. It's hard to read his face. Is he mad you tried to deny him the hug? Is he upset you assumed it would be anything other than friendly? Is he just trying to be friendly? Is he jealous? Most people are easy enough to read despite the complex thoughts running through their heads and floating up to their face. Vance is the opposite. It's like he thinks so little that you can only read him when he's concentrating on something specific. Your forehead bumps with his as Robin tries to get her face out enough to breath."Yeah, great job, Robin," Vance says as you both loosen the Robin sandwich and the hug breaks.Robin collects Geodude after praising him. She pulls out the small map she had from the Pokemon center in Kindletown. "You know, we're just getting to the point where we'll have to decide if we'll see the lake or not.">Too out of the way, and you don't have money for a boat tour.

You hitch your bag up, put your arms over Robin and Vance's shoulders, which is no easy task considering the height difference, and start marching everyone forward.You get a few feet before Robin has to correct the direction. You misread the map by about 90 degrees. "Alright! That way!"

>>29618738Is it a gooey kind of soft? Like a warm, quivering liquid center?
>>29618670>>Look for trainers>>Ask Robin about the Chloroville gym,>>Ask Vance about the lake. He must have passed it traveling here from Braundalin
>>29618758More like warm and fuzzy. You don't save softcore yuri for the sex appeal, you save it because it's adorable.
>>29618882You save it because it gives you a boner in your heart, not in your pants.
>>29618920
>>29618670>Look for trainers
>>29618670>>Look for trainers>>Ask Robin about the Chloroville gym,>>Ask Vance about the lake. He must have passed it traveling here from BraundalinWhy not all of them?
"Hey Vance, you must have passed by here before. Anything you can tell us?"He strokes his imaginary beard. "I can't tell you much you don't already probably know. There's a lot of beach, the usual types of Pokemon you'd expect. The lake itself is beautiful." He looks towards to you and Robin. "I haven't been to the exact spot we're headed, but I hear it's great. You wouldn't come this way normally unless you went for the boat rides though."You come across a group of 3 trainers. One is a skinny boy wearing a tank top, a scarf, and some sort of red beret. It's the type of hideous outfit that can only be explained by someone who follows the fashion industry. Maybe it's just the way he's wearing it or the confident stroll he has, but you grudgingly have to admit to yourself that he's somehow pulling it off. To his right is right is a much larger boy. He has an equally bold outfit, but he looks every bit of ridiculous as his outfit choice. It looks like he's trying to ape his smaller friend. There's also a fairly pretty girl there too. Just once glance and you can tell she comes from money. Her clothes look expensive but impractical, her posture is flawless for every setting except actually walking, and there's absolutely no way her hair can maintain that shape without a specialized team of skilled stylists.(continued)
>>29619118GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>29619118I want to take their money just for the principal of the thing.
>>29619165Let's go for half.
The boy in the scarf looks like he's in charge. He eyes your group up and down. With a mix of disgust, flattery, and suspicion, you note that he's particularly slow when his eyes come to you. "See, these are the types of chumps I was talking about!" What did he just say? "Look at this one," he points to you, "She's traveling between two towns with gym, but what's this? Not a single badge!" He flicks his scarf over in a not-so-subtle move to show off the four badges pinned to it. "And what's with that outfit? It looks like someone took a bowie knife too it!" You're at a momentary loss for words, and do your best to hide your slight blush and indignation. You did actually modify it with a survival knife. His friends laugh. The girl’s laugh is a haughty, high pitched noise that reminds you of Vlad. The big one’s laugh is probably what a caveman would sound like.The larger one's laugh sounds as dumb as he looks "Good one, Dick."'Dick' loses his smile, and glares at the large one. "Richard. My name is Richard." He looks at you. His scowl is sharp. "What are you looking at? We're trying to have a private conversation here."It sure seemed like he intended for you to hear it up to a second ago.You look back at your companions. Vance has a hard, angry look. Even Robin looks steamed. She gives you a nod. You're not sure if that's a 'go get em' or that she just reads that you think poorly of them and agrees.>Walk away, but give a witty comeback (write-in)>Challenge 'Dick' to a battle>Challenge the large moron>Challenge the princess>Get in his face, steal something>Something else
>>29619193that was kind of the intent of my statement, yes.
>>29619216>Four badgesNah, Call him a faggot and be on our way
>>29619216Bounce a Pokeball with your strongest 'mon off his head."You wanna say that to my face, you cheeky cunt?"
>>29619216Ask for a three on three.
>>29619216>>Challenge 'Dick' to a battle
>>29619216>Get in his face, steal somethingI want these guys to come after us later
>>29619282No stealing.
>>29619216three on three lets do it
>>29619216>Get in his face, steal somethingWith 4 badges there's no way we can take him.
Come on guys, you don't really want to challenge someone with four badges to a battle right?
>>29619216>>29619241This
>>29619216>Four badgesOoooooooooh fuck...this could be bad. His mon's probably got at least 10-20 levels on our strongest.>Walk away, but give a witty comebackI vote the gorilla warfare copypastahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnp3AgXP0dU
>>29619337You're right.Knock him out. Shave his head.
>>29619216>meh, whatever ripples your nipples buddy
>>29619216>>Walk away, but give a witty comeback (write-in)"whatever cock"
>>29619216T-T-TRIPLE BATTLE
Remember, we promised we wouldn't steal anymore
No fight, lets not lose our dignity, just call him a faggot, if he calls us a coward point out how he is purposefully looking for people with no badges cause he's a pussy
>>29619393We promised we WOULD TRY.
>>29619216Just walk away before he challenges us.
>>29619425No.
>>29619393These guys seem jerky enough to warrant itCould ask Robin.
>>29619425Yes so won't we look like a dipshit if less than 48-hours later we're going back on our word.
>>29619216No theft, supporting this>>29619408perhaps point out to him that scarves and tanktops are meant for opposite climates.
>>29619216>"See, these are the types of chumps I was talking about! Look at this one," point to Dick, "He's got four badges, but what's this? He still feels like he needs to impress! And what's with that outfit? It looks like someone stole his clothes and he had to raid a washing line!"
>>29619408I like this idea.
>>29619477eh, people like that always get what's coming to them. Eventually.
>>29619216murmur to Robin "so should i fight him or rob him blind? one or two fingers up" if she gives us the ok, get in his face and tak his wallet
>>29619506oh man, thats good.voting for this
We can't flip our shit every time some idiot runs their mouth.mind over matter, we don't mind, and they don't matter
>>29619506I like this one.
If they try to mess with us, go full klepto.Otherwise walk on by.
>>29619562True, just ignoring them, or pretending to ignore them while secretly memorizing their faces and adding them to THE LIST is probably best.
"There's a good dick joke here somewhere, I'm sure of it. I just can't see it"
Did we spend all our money? If so, we should just forfeit if he challenges.
>>29619506Yeah, this. Try to refrain from stealing right off the bat
>>29619619"Well first you have to find a good dick. Dohohohoho!"
>>29619118>So, how many?>4 badges, nimrod.>No, I meant how many dicks you had to suck in those 4 cities to get the badges. I need a bit of meat to at my sweet sixteen, and I'll also need an STD test record.
>>29619506I like this a lot as well
>>29619216so he identified us as the "leader", and was sharp enough to guess the knife thing right. He's probably rather competent and is provoking us.
>>29619723Yeah this guy is dangerous in addition to being a douchebag.
>>29619216"Oh yeah, faggot? You wouldn't be so tough if you didn't have those badges. Take them off, then let's see what you've got."Once he sets the badges down, grab and go.
>>29619839nooooo, that's bad. stealing badges is pointless. Nobody would buy those, and we need the xp.our MC is a smart thief
>>29619807do a pokemon battle, and call vance out. that should get them. He fought an ursaring and won, he should be able to take their pokemon as well.
>>29619839What's the point of stealing badges, beside the petty nuisance of it? I'm sure they are recorded by the League.
>>29619853>smartStealing the fossil was smart, and trying to follow the professor was genius. I'm sure challenging a four-badge trainer to a battle is a great idea too.
>>29619839why would anyone every fall for something that stupid?
what is with all these fucking retarded ideas jesus christ
>>29619870>Why would anyone every fall for something that stupid>Why would anyone every fall>Why would anyone every>anyone everyI think you're the last person to talk about stupidity, man.
>>29619869so do you actually want to battle him? There's a pretty big portion voting on just leaving.
>>29619897He obviously meant ever
>>29619905Yeah, I sure do. I vote for every idea I think is stupid.
>>29619216Call him a cunt and walk off.
"What did you just say to me, you little shit?"You get right in his face. He obviously isn't used to people standing up to him. "See, these are the types of chumps I was talking about! Look at this one," You point to Dick, "He's got four badges, but what's this? He still feels like he needs to impress! And what's with that outfit? It looks like someone stole his clothes and he had to raid a washing line!"Robin and Vance laugh. His confidence is shaken. His minions look ready for a fight. He bounces back quickly, but with little grace. "I'm not going to take fashion advice from someone like you. What, did you pick those rags out of the trash?" He looks back at his party for backup. They force a laugh, but it really wasn't funny at all."Come on. I bet you're just too chicken to fight me. I'll mop the floor with you." He tries to asset himself over you.You bounce a Pokeball off his forehead. "What, with this one? What's in here anyway?""That's my Pokemon!" He completely loses his cool. You toss it up in the air and he snatches it. You begin to walk away."What, you think that makes you a good trainer? You think it makes up for not having any badges?"You shout back. "Whatever Dick!""You can't just walk away from me! Do you have any idea who I am?" He reaches for a Pokeball.(continued)
>>29619919now I seriously don't know if you're being sarcastic. Some people really do pick the stupid option just because.>>29619955I don't think being a dick makes you a good trainer, at least.
>>29619998I wasI was assuming we'd fight since there were four or five votes for fighting him in the first five minutes and most of the others came afterwards
>>29619869You don't even know that the gym leaders are good
>>29619955>Do you have any idea who I am?A fag
>>29620032Hell if Ash can lose to a new trainer in his first battle, I don't know who could win.
>>29619955well, judging from the fact that you'd need a step-stool to see over most counters, I'd say you were a tiny dick. right on the mark, right?
You stop and look back. "You're a punk without any badges." You reveal the 4 badges you took off of it. You toss them hard into the brush behind him, and walk away.You expect an unapproving look from Robin, but to your surprise she just giggles, even if she's looking a little guilty for doing so. Vance has a hearty laugh. 'Dick' will find them eventually.You hear him yelling at his crew to find the badges, and he yells some obscenities at you as you get farther away. In the back of your mind you hear your self-doubt tell you how he would have trounced you, but you suppress it. You came out ahead today, and that's all that matters.It`s getting a bit late. You're relieved to finally arrive at the beach. The waves break gently on the sand.Vance chimes in "There probably won't be any boats until tomorrow morning."In the distance you see a bonfire and some young people hanging out. You can hear a guitar and some singing.>Set up camp here, let your Pokemon out to play>Socialize with the beach people>It's getting late, but you might be able to find a Pokemon (d100)>Something else.
>>29620141>Set up camp here, let your Pokemon out to playI wanna meet the houndour. Maybe let the bear out
>>29620141>Something else.Let pokemon out. Party at the bonfire!
>>29620141>>Set up camp here, let your Pokemon out to playBe aware of your surroundings.
>>29620141>Socialize with the beach people'Interested in a little...duo' ;-)whip out flute
>>29620141>Set up camp here, let your Pokemon out to play
>>29620141Socialize with the beach people. It might be good to hang out, and they could have food.But... maybe you should do something about your outfit first.
Rolled 48>>29620141>It's getting late, but you might be able to find a Pokemon (d100)
Rolled 32>>29620141>>It's getting late, but you might be able to find a Pokemon (d100)couldn't hurt
>>29620188No
>>29620188that's not bad.
>>29620188I like this
i think we need a new thread>another inpbilcaptcha agrees
>>29620188Could be fun, let's meet some new friends and play music around the campfire
>>29620188I'm fine with the flute, but let's avoid the stupid innuendo
Socializing with the beach people gets the tiebreaker!I have to head off guys, sorry. I was hoping to get a few more updates out, but duty calls. Quest #12 starts tomorrow about the same time. I'll try to be earlier if possible, but I still have a lot to tackle in my personal life this weekend.Unless there's a catastrophe at work or my house explodes or something, updates should start being a little more frequent starting later this week.I'm thinking of just making it a 10 minute vote for all non-combat related stuff. How does that sound?I'm so bad at predicting how people will vote. I love you guys
>>29620530Thanks for the threadKeep it real, yo
>>29620530SHUT IT, YOU FOOL! You tempt the cuuuuurse!
>>29620530Oh, remember to archive.And 10 minute votes are fine.Really, I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.
>>2962053010 minutes for social stuff I like-gives a little longer for people to come up with their own ideas.Have a good one, Gobble, thank's for the thread!
>>29620530I voted 5 minutes before, but I'd greatly prefer 10 minute votes.Thanks for running Gobble, I hope you turn into a cute girl and find yourself a cute lesbian lover.
>>29620530We love you too Gobble and fuck what these people say /tg/ can make smart choices sometimes too, we just normally make the fun choices
>>29620530Thanks, Gobble. This is always fun.
We're going to playfully remove Robin's top in the water at some point, right?
>>29620666>Letting other people see herNo, that's for us not them.
>>29620694do it when we're out in the deep and no one is around then
>>29620694>>29620666>>29620704>implying we won't be skinny dipping once everyone goes to sleep
>>29621577nope
