Not saying that, but we don't need to go out of our way to catch Pokemon that may not want to come along. Besides, Mace is best rock.

>>687742
There's no hurry to get a full team, I'd rather we just bond with the ones we've got for now.

>>687737
Kabutops is way out of our league. I'd rather have nothing over Magcargo because an empty slot could theoretically be filled by a pokemon that I actually like at some point.

You wake up with the sunshine warming your face. The sound of the waves and a few flapping wings in the distance give you no incentive to open your eyes any time soon. Things are peaceful. You roll over onto something soft and nice. This feels great.

You’re forcefully pushed in the other direction. “Woah! You mainlanders aren’t so uptight after all.” You look over and see Laki getting up. “But you’d better at least buy me a drink.”

“I-I didn’t mean to-”

“Relax, Soft Hands. Just bustin’ your balls.” She smirks down. “Speaking of, why did you sleep out here if you had a tent?”

You look up at her confused. Slowly, your eyes fall to your shorts. You quickly curl up under the sound of her laughter. She tosses you your pokeballs along with Chatot's. “Here. They’re still dirty from the caves. Clean those, and your mind, up.”

She puts her hands behind her head and walks off towards Keira.

You polish the balls while hunched over. As you look around the beach, you get the impression that the group isn’t in a huge hurry. You can probably do something quickly.

Fair enough, I had a feeling that would be the consensus. Personally I would love to do an actual Catch em All! Type. Kat was all about making a few close friends, seems like doing something different could be worthwhile.

Gobble keeps the real lewd away from the thread

Also man,how many fucking rare Pokemon are on this island

We met a kabutops and a guy caught a spiritomb with a basic bitch Pokemon

If any scientist from another region came here and saw half this shit they would have a fucking heart attack

Now that I think about it there's probably a shit ton of poachers here and the rare Pokemon are also probably caused by some special thing on this island like the super plants

Are contests going to be a thing in this quest? Are we going to collect ribbons and shit?

Tripokalon isn't really a contest and is basically completing to be a pop idol.

Contest could be interesting since I don't think they would detract too much from regular Pokemon stuff.

You take out your Budew. You want to get to know her.

She joyfully smiles up at up. Her little buds expand very slightly in the warm sunlight.

“How are you doing?”

She makes another cute noise. After a short bit, she starts looking around. She goes from happy to increasingly nervous.

“What’s wrong?”

You both see Laki walk by, and she calms down.

“So you like her, huh?”

She makes another cute noise. You pet her head. For a while the two of you just enjoy the sunlight. She climbs over small sand dunes and stumbles a bit, but she’s having fun.

You ask her if she knows any moves. She looks confused at the concept at first, but you explain it with some pantomime and she lights up. She knows some stuff! You take out your Pokedex and watch.

The first move she does is Absorb. She squeezes her eyes closed and extracts a tiny blob of green energy from a rock.

The second is Growth. That makes sense. It’s in the Pokedex as something they learn young. She takes in the sunlight and looks really strong after. Well, strong for her size, anyway.

“Wow! Tough stuff!” You compliment her. You’re about to put the Pokedex away when she shows a third move.

She fires little sharp missiles at the rock! They don’t look very effective, but it’s still a big surprise. You look at your Pokedex and see it’s Pin Missile!

You pat her on the head. “You’re full of surprises, aren’t you?”

She snuggles into the headpat, then starts running around. She gets a few feet before tripping and faceplanting. She doesn’t care at all, though.

You overhear the others talking. Looks like the plan is to go along the beach to town, then to the temple afterwards for whoever is up for that.

You let your other pokemon out and go along with the group. Valerie politely asks how you’re feeling after yesterday and offers you a water bottle.

“Feels quite a bit different out here, doesn’t it?”

You nod. These islands are full of surprises already. These rare Pokemon, the different customs. It seems like as soon as you got out of the town you found a whole new world.

Your pokemon have a little trouble on the sand. Mace sticks to more firm areas, and Budew needs to be carried. Gobble does okay. There aren’t many distractions for him to want to eat.

Polu walks next to you. “Careful around east facing beaches like this in the morning. Staryu like to rest on the sandy beaches at night and go back into the water when the sun comes out. They should all be gone by now, and they don’t usually don’t want any trouble, but even they aren’t so chill if you step on one.”

“Thanks.” You watch where you’re stepping.

“No problem, bro.”

Let's get to know him a bit better. Also I'm guessing his board is just some plain solid color or something? Unless there's another reason like certain colors/patterns attracting Pokemon you don't want I'd say spice that up.

“So, have you decided what you want to do on your journey?”

He puts an arm around your shoulder and points to the sea with his board. “Bro, I want to ride where the waves take me.” He thinks. “But to be honest, Jane beating all of us back there got me thinking. I want to learn more about Pokemon battles. Not everyone in the world is chill, you know? And there was a bit of a rush when me and Aron were fighting.”

“You’re going to battle competitively?”

He nods. “Guess so, bro. I know Aron likes it.”

You look at his board. “You know, some stripes just up along here and here would look pretty slick.”

He looks at it. “Dude, I think you’re right. That’d be wicked. I’d look like a laser on the waves.” He laughs.

You’re not sure if that means he’ll do it or not. You can’t tell if he’s being polite or genuinely likes the idea.

“So that Larvesta-”

“What’s that?” Hana points.

There’s a large blue Pokemon on the beach in the distance. And...is that Jane? You all run to check it out.

She turns to your group when you all approach. “You’re all traveling together?” She looks surprised and a little offended.

The large Pokemon makes a wailing noise. It's stuck.

“Is it okay?” Valerie asks.

She huffs. “It’s fine. I’m the one helping it, so don’t try to get in the way.”

Its probably for the best for both her and everyone around if she gets over whatever her problems are. And far as the Wailmer goes, its not even 300lbs so we shouldn't even need everyone to pitch in to get it further back into the ocean.

“If we work together, we can push it back to sea.”

She steps in your path. “So you mess with my battle and now you think I can’t handle this? What, are you just trying to earn a shard by yourself or something? Nudge me out of the competition?”

“It’s not a competition.” Hana is barely audible.

“Yup! And alone this probably isn’t enough for a shard.” Keira thinks. “Well, maybe. Depends. But it’s about more than one good deed. You’ve got to really make a difference.”

“It makes a difference to her!” Jane protests. You get the feeling that she’s saying that more out of a competition than empathy.

Keira steps back. Not out of being bullied, but to seriously consider Jane’s point.

Jane and Laki exchange glares.

The huge blue Pokemon groans again.

“I told you all, I’ve got this under control. If you’re so desperate to get recognized, go help someone that needs it.” She stands in front of you. "Unless you're looking for a battle."

First because... well, seriously its like the simplest thing to do in this situation. Second just to try and get her to agree with it and hopefully be a bit diplomatic about things. Though unless shards are given out by people and not like the island making you stumble upon one for good karma I don't see the point in needing all the credit for it.

>>688292
>Something else
There's no competing when a pokemon is suffering, don't ask us to sit back and not help!

>>688292
>That’s it! Challenge her to a battle!

>>688292
>We already did something to (maybe) earn shards. We just want to help

If we do end up battling her just have the others push it back in while we distract her

>>688292
>We already did something to (maybe) earn shards. We just want to help
>That’s it! Challenge her to a battle!

Tell her we'll battle her after helping the wailmer. I want to see how we stack up to her.

>>688329
theyre good karma rewards, from what Keira has said

good deeds without selfless intent are worthless

>>688355
2/3s of our team is weak to her starter, and the other is a baby

>>688292
>Ignore her. Get everyone to push on go
No time to fight

So I see two possible scenarios here. Either Jane is desperate to collect shards because she feels alienated and wants to prove that she belongs here, lashing out because she believes the world is against her, or she's a jerk who wants glory.

>>688408
Even if it's one of the first two, she's still a jerk.

>>688378
Even so, that doesn't mean we don't stand a chance. In this case, just trying to stand up to her is important, especially if it means the others will have a shot at helping the wailmer. The others seem to have backed down, so it's important that we step up.

>>688429
I voted to ignore her, we need to help the wailmer, it's the priority

battling her is a poor choice, imo due to major type disadvantages

We should plop our asses down to and see how long she'll struggle with this before she admits she needs help.

>>688449
Wailmer needs help.

Jane is a huge bitch but I don't think she'll let it die for her pride.

“Come on, everyone.” You ignore Jane and move around her. “On three, okay?”

Laki gives Jane a smug grin as she goes around her. Hana avoids eye contact. Keira just hops over Hana’s shoulders.

Polu and Valerie come up next to you, ready to push.

“One. Two.” You brace. “Three!”

All of you struggle and your feet sinks into the sand. You move it a few inches. Alright! You can all do this easily!

It wails loudly and protests.

“Wait!” Keira stops everyone. “There’s something poking under it.”

Everyone stops. The poor creature looks like it’s in pain from that.

“I’m sorry.” Keira apologizes to the huge pokemon. “I didn’t know that’s what you meant.”

“I told you all that I had this.” Jane folds her arms.

“Did you know it was on something?” Valerie looks shocked.

“No.” She turns to you. “I just know better than to rush into things without thinking just to look like a hero.” She shoves your shoulder.

Laki has had enough. She takes out a Pokeball and taps it against the pokemon. It vanishes in a huge burst of light. “There. We’ll take it to a Pokecenter.” Underneath it is a bent metal beach chair. It doesn’t look like any parts would be poking in any deadly way, but it must have hurt a lot.

Polu steps forward. “Aren’t you from Akaneki?”

Everyone but you, Valerie, and possibly Jane seem to understand what that means.

Hana sees your confusion. “People from Akaneki Island believe that you should only catch a Pokemon you intended to bond with.”

Jane half glares, and half smirks at Laki.

Laki looks at her Pokeball like she just did something really reckless. She must have not considered that. She turns to Keira. As a priestess she can probably act like an authority on this. You get the feeling that if Laki weren’t surrounded by her peers, she might not keep it.

Keira seems like she’s open to considering things from different angles. If she makes a call, the others will probably follow her.

Wailmer's well being is priority, and besides, it wouldn't make any sense for Laki's actions to be judged differently from anyone else's.

>>688491
>But this is an exception, right Kiera?

>>688531
They can, they bounce

>>688531
Air sacks

Once again Jane has done literally nothing wrong.

>>688555
Yeah but she was a bitch about it

>>688555
She is a bitch that wanted to battle as opposed to try and help the Pokemon quicker.

She may not be a terrible person but she's certainly an idiot.

>>688555
Well
1. she was being a bitch about it
2. She didn't actually know there was a chair under it,she just wanted the shard
3. Instead of focusing on helping it she got all pissy when we tried to help out too
4. There was actually nothing she could do in the situation yet she went mega bitch

>>688491
>Come on! Let’s hurry to the Pokemon center!
>But this is an exception, right Keira?

"This is the best way to make sure it makes it to the pokemon center okay. You did the right thing, Laki."

Then:

"Instead of yelling at us, you should have just helped."

“Come on! Let’s hurry to the Pokemon center!”

The group all agrees with that. Even Jane comes along.

Laki holds her ball in front of her while she runs, looking at it.

“Congratulations,” you tell her. “That was really nice of you.”

She doesn’t say anything. She just gives you a weird look.

“Hello!” The nurse greets you. “Oh my. You’re all out of breath. Is it an emergency?”

Polu explains the situation. The nurse quickly takes the ball and starts working the machines. “We’ll have your Wailmer healed up in no time.” She seems a bit new to the job, but you guess if anyone is qualified to make that call, it’s her.

While you’re there, you all hand over your other pokeballs. The nurse quotes on you two hours. You guess they don’t have the most top of the line centers here.

“Guess that’s that,” Jane says as she starts walking away from the nurse. “I’ll be back then.” She pauses when she has to walk by you. “Way to screw it up. I could have gotten Wailmer out without hurting it.” She bumps your shoulder and keeps going.

You look out the window. This is actually pretty close to your new house.

Laki is sorting through the mushrooms. “Cha-ching!” She says to herself. She glances over to you. “Hey Soft Hands. I’ll go sell these and give you your share later. Valerie said we can have hers.”

Keira and Polu sound like they’re going to hang out on the waterfront until the two hours are up. Hana and Valerie are staying near the center and getting a fruit smoothie of some kind.

>Go with Laki to sell the mushrooms
>Catch up to Jane
>Go visit home

>>688696

It's time for our first battle
We either put her into her place or we lose and know what we need to work on

>>688696
>>Catch up to Jane

It's learning time! Remember, she's going to be defenseive, so we can't go around being accusatory. We need to be happy to see her, tell her you wish you had waited, ask her how she's enjoying her journey.

>>688742

>>688696
>>Go with Laki to sell the mushrooms
I want absolutely nothing to do with Jane and the sooner we can get away from her the better.

>>688696
>>Catch up to Jane

Yeah, lets give her a piece of our mind. Though after that I'm not really sure where I'd want the conversation to go; don't want to just fully blow her off, but damn if she doesn't make it sound like a good option.

>>688742
We just dropped off our Pokemon at the Center; so if we do have any it'd probably just be Budew.

>>688696
>Catch up to Jane
Chew her out for putting her own pride before the suffering of a Pokemon.
>Go visit home

>>688750
I hate her too, but we can't blow off interacting with her forever.

>>688746
This guy has the right idea. Jane thinks the world is out to get her, so we kill her with kindness.

>>688760
why not?

>>688760
Yes. Yes we can. Unless she's gonna be our rival who shows up all the time at the worst possible time because some cosmic force thinks its funny.

>>688696
>Catch up to Jane
Tell her she's got a crummy attitude, and that we wish she wouldn't antagonize our friends.

Then, if we have time:

>Stay here with Valerie and Hana

Go back and hang out with the fancy tent crew.

>Go speak with Jane
>She just challenges us to a battle
>No Pokemans, she takes our money and wanders off

Calling it now.

>>688770
Cause that's not how you deal with problems,at least not what John would do in this situation
She's being a mega-bitch and needs to be put in her place

With kindness

>>688778
Then we call the police for mugging us.

>>688778
>Literally getting robbed
>Not calling the police and getting her kicked from the Pokemon league

“Hey!” You jog out the door to catch up to Jane. “Wait up.”

She stops and turns to you. Her eyes bore into you. “What do you want?” She sighs. “I’m trying to be the bigger person here, but you keep trying to ruin my day. Why are you doing this? What did I ever do to you?”

I have zero desire to be friends with Jane.

In all seriousness, can the anons that are voting for "telling her off" explain why they think it will go well? Jane send extremely defensive. She will very likely just shut down. I think we she either ignore her even possible or double down on being nice in hopes of changing her for the better.

>people actually wanting to be friends with this bitch
For what purpose?
Are we playing the retard who wants everyone to be friends and give everyone hugs?

>>688846
Because fuck that bitch, that's why.

>>688846
It doesn't have to "go well". She deserves to be told off, plain and simple. We don't have to befriend everyone we meet, and we certainly aren't under any obligation to change her. Whether or not she decides to change in the future, she deserves to be called out for how much of a bitch she's been.

>>688851
Because being aggressive won't get anywhere. Trying to be friends IS John's character so far. Also she is a massive bitch and I hate her too, but John can see the good in people.

>>688859
>Trying to be friends IS John's character so far. Also she is a massive bitch and I hate her too, but John can see the good in people.
So we are retarded, or at least autistic?

>>688801
>Are you serious? Give her a real peace of your mind
>Tell her you think she put her pride ahead of Wailmer’s wellbeing
Both of these!

>>688868
I think you need to relax anon.

>>688801
>Are you serious? Give her a real peace of your mind
>Tell her you think she put her pride ahead of Wailmer’s wellbeing
>Tell her you got off on the wrong foot. You want to be friends

I do want the last one, but who knows how well that will work after the rest of the stuff I'd want to say to her.

"Trying to be the bigger person here"? Yeah, I could see that with you insulting us and pushing past us when you left when all we did was try and help out.

>>688846
It probably won't go well right now, but maybe she'll reflect on some of the things being said and change at least a little bit later on. Hard to say though.

>>688859
I don't feel it'd be entirely out of character. Like with the egg being cracked for trying to help out earlier; with Jane we've been trying to be friendly and keep everyone from fighting, and have basically been met with aggression the entire way.

>>688868
White knight instincts taking over, apparently.

>>688868
Or were a well adjusted teenager raised by loving parents who taught us to be nice

>>688868
We just have faith in people. People do things for a reason, we don't know what hers are.

>>688859
Thus far she hasn't shown any good. And no one's saying we need to be aggressive. It's entirely possible to tell someone off without getting up in their face and yelling. John isn't saintly. He doesn't have infinite patience for someone who is outright hostile to not only him, but to his friends as well; people who actually do treat him well. He doesn't need a friend like Jane.

Gotta go full friendship and fourze

Personally I don't think it's very in character to yell at her, but Herb would say something at least.

>>688886
It is obviously voting to yell at her.

>>688877
Hugs and friendship white knight characters are the worst and most boring to play.

>>688883
She's either a complete bitch, as some anons say, or there's something more complicated going on that is obscuring her real character. Either way, there is no way that telling her off is going to do anything but earn us a rival.

You want someone to tell her off? Let Laki do it. That's her thing. We have bigger fish to fry. Jane is seriously not a priority to me. I would rather spend this time talking to interesting, social characters or grabbing gear.

>>688907
>>688877
It isn't white knighting. It is trying one more time to actively see if someone isn't a huge sack of shit like we think. If Jane was a bitch after we tried to be a friend of hers then fuck her. Just because I hate her OOC doesn't mean I'll vote against her constantly every single time when it may be best to try and talk with her.

>>688907
It's not even that, it's the-
"Let's spend our time with a total bitch instead instead of our pals, when we could just delegate her to being an occasionally seen background character and not bother."

>>688907

And role-playing having your panties in a bunch over Ms Shoulder-check is so last Tuesday.

Just stomp her into the ground with our Pokemon in the future and be done with it. Don't give her any more screentime.

>>688880
Well-adjusted people aren't doormats. That's why voting to tell her off makes sense.

>>688897
Even if that's the case, that still makes way more sense than running after her and trying to be friends with her after she's demonstrated without question that she doesn't like us and has been hostile toward our friends.

>>688916
Even if we go full doormat, this conversation isn't going to end with Jane suddenly being amicable, because Gobble isn't a terrible writer. If your criterion for dismissing her is "if she's still a bitch this time", you may as well dismiss her now.

I'm sure there's a lot more to her than meets the eye, but calling her out just plain makes more sense than anything else, and revelations about her character can come later.

>>688932
You keep using words incorrectly.

>>688801
>Are you serious? Give her a real peace of your mind
>Tell her you think she put her pride ahead of Wailmer’s wellbeing

>>688942
I'm not sharing an opinion. You are using the terms Doormat incorrectly. My bad, I thought you were the same guy that claimed it was white knighting because I'm tired and your ID colors are similar.

>>688951
If someone is shitty to you and your friends, and rather than either ignoring them or defending your friends, you desperately try to get them to like you (in this case, running after them and trying to convince them to be your friend), that's being a doormat. That's letting someone walk all over you and your friends. You might disagree, but that would just be your opinion.

Either way, it's a non-issue, so no harm done.

“I think you put your pride ahead of that Wailmer’s well-being.”

She opens her mouth in shock, but doesn’t say anything right then. Her eyes narrow.

“I-I mean-”

“I know what you mean!” She cuts you off. “You’ve got a lot of nerve.” That’s the first time you’ve been accused of that. “I was helping! Help doesn’t come from here,” she flicks your chest. “It comes from here!” She flicks your forehead. “If there was anything in there, maybe you’d understand that.”

“How come you wanted us to go away?”

“Ugh!” She looks really mad. “Because you already screwed up my match before and everyone already thinks I’m the bad guy now. Thanks for that, by the way.”

“Me?” You’re not mad at that, you’re shocked.

“Yes you!” She looks ready to murder you. “I know your type. You’ve already got everyone hating me, but that isn’t enough, is it? Now you’ve got to rub it in!” She takes a deep breath. “Whatever. Hate me all you want, but everyone always respect the champion.”

“So...you didn’t want a shard?”

“Of course I wanted a shard! I just didn’t-” She stops herself. “Forget it. I’m not falling for whatever mind games you’re trying to pull.” She grabs your collar, pulling you close. “Next time I see you, me and my Pokemon are going to cream you, you got that?” She pushes you and you stumble back until you fall on your butt. “Stay out of my way!”

She walks off in the other direction.

>Oh yeah? Well you’re a big jerk meanie!
>Oh yeah? Well those colours don’t work for you at all! Can’t you even tell how much blue would bring out your eyes? Shows what you know!

I kind of want this if only to see if she wears blue next time we meet her.

Otherwise I really have no idea what to really say to her; she seems to take fucking everything as a personal insult and gets aggressive way too easily.
