You glance around the dark forest. It’s still spooky, but not nearly as bad with another human around. Your pokemon, though, seem more confused than ever about your fit, dark, musclebound friend and her slurring speech.

“Shoft hams!” She puts an arm around you, pushing the side of your face into her chest. “What are yoooooouuuu doing all the way out here?” Her other hand plays your your hair.

Oh jeez oh man! Oh jeez some more.

Unless we ask about what went down with that shit with the fans and the quitting

I'm not entirely sure what it means that's why I asked gobble.

If it's something funny/lewd I'm cool with that.

If it's what went down with Jane I'm also fine with it.

What were you and Valerie up to?

>>794916
Maybe start with a silly question to test the waters and then move on to more serious stuff

>>794906
If we do go down that route we should probably ask after we get the lead on where Valerie is and it should probably be the Jane question

>>794840
>>Ask where she last saw Valerie
>>Try to muscle your way out.

>>794926
Maybe, but I'd rather not do it at all. We need to find Valerie.

>>794916
Yeah, we just learned a bit about her past with Jane and it'd be fresh in our mind. Plus given she's drunk after losing to Jane its not hard to assume that it might be part of the problem.

>>794926
But yeah, start off with other stuff first (like where she last saw Valerie) before getting to that. Don't want her getting mad and storming off or anything like that.

Gobble pls. It's been too long. I need to see how this plays out.

You gulp. Both from Laki and how close you are to the ledge.

“Come on.” You lean away from the ledge and she just sort of follows your lead. “Where did you last see Valerie?”

Laki laughs. “I think.” She hiccups. “I think she got a bit scared.”

You don’t know where exactly she’s walking you, but you keep pace just to avoid being dragged. “Scared of what? She she okay?”

Laki laughs. “She’s fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. You mainlanders. These woods are like, the shafest place there ish.” Laki tussles up your hair then points. “She’s somewhere that way. I think.”


It didn’t feel so safe when that Pokemon attacked, but you guess it turned out okay. You can’t see her face that well in the dark, but even you can tell she’s completely wasted. It occurs to you that you can probably ask her anything right about now.

“What’s your favorite colour?”

“Hmmmm.” She looks at you as you both stumble forward. “Gold.”

She seems receptive. What else are you going to ask?

“So, umm. How come you got drunk?”

“Drunk?” She gives you a funny look. “I’m not...ah yesh I am. You got me. You’re gooood.” She pokes your chest. “Shame reason why anyone does. It’s better than being shober.”

“Is it because of what happened between you and Jane?”

Laki kicks a rock. “Yeah! I thought I’d shut her up! She’s always on my case and I don’t even know why!”

“Well, you two do have a history.” You look back briefly to make sure your Pokemon are following. They’re glued to your ankles.

Laki yanks you back. “What hishtory? She’s been getting in my face since we met at the lab.”

Laki doesn’t recognize Jane? That could explain a lot. Or maybe Jane made it up. Or something else. You decide to move to another subject though and ask her thoughts on everyone else.

“Hm? Wellllll... Keira is nice. Most priestesses are weird, but friendly weird isn’t so bad. Kinda high energy though. That Polu is okay too I guess. Laid back. Doesn’t get in your face. A little obsessed with surfing but I can understand that.” She keeps playing with your hair. “Hana is too damn shy. And strong! It’s not fair!” She burps. “Wait. That’s mean. I take it back that’s super mean.” Laki spins you around. “I’m not a bad person. You don’t think I’m a bad person, right?”

“N-no. I don’t think that.”

Laki looks relieved. “Good. Becaushe Hana didn’t deserve any of what happened to her. I forgot why she was stronk.”

You guess Laki is a bit all over the place. “What about-”

“Valerie is scho damn hot!” Laki says. “Who has skin that smooth? Huh?” She grabs your hands. “Beside you. What do mainlanders do all day? Bathe in moisturizer?”

You’re face to face with her again. You gulp. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Her face turns sour. “Why? You makin’ fun of me? I could get a boyfriend if I wanted! I just don’t want to!” She goes back to dragging you around. “Guys used to chase after me all the time, back before... before the games.” She harrumphs, then mumbles something about her confidence in making any potential boyfriend forget about those stupid games while making what you assume is some sort of weird salt shaker gesture. Must be a local cultural thing. It’s mesmerizing, though.

“What do you think about me?”

She stops walking. Her eyes change from being distant to smugly looking down at you like prey. “Now I get it. You blond little-”

CRACK!

Something splits a boulder nearby with an attack. You and your Pokemon nearly jump out of your skin. Laki grunts and squints her eyes at it.

Wait, that’s a Pokemon! You’re pretty sure you know that one, too.

“Hi.” You slowly and carefully approach.

It looks over to you and takes on a fighting stance.

“Woah! We don’t want any trouble.” You throw up your hands. It hesitates.

A man walks out of the shadows. “It’s okay, Golurk. I believe them.” He walks over to you and looks you and Laki up and down. “What are you two doing out here so late?”

Laki keeps as straight a face as she can. "Just going for a walk!"

He looks at both of you. You can see he's paying attention to how tussled the hair is on both of your heads and sloppy Laki's clothes are right now. “I...see.”

“I’m John,” you offer your hand to shake. The man looks at it for a second before shaking it. “And this is Laki.”

“An odd pair.” He remarks. “I am Lepo. And this is Golurk. Tell me, have you seen anything suspicious in these woods?”

“Like a crazy old man and his Ghost Pokemon cracking boulders in the middle of the night?”” Laki says. She doesn’t sound like she’s trying to be rude, just funny. But she’s not doing so well.

“Yes.” He replies flatly. “I’ve been told there have been some...disturbances. Pokemon that don’t belong here, upsetting the balance of the area.” He squints at you. “What’s on your face?”

He walks you over to the path as you talk. There are street lamps here again.

You lift your arm the way Keira showed you. “My friend Keira said this would protect me. She’s a priestess.”

Laki bursts into a fit of giggling. The man just looks at you for a moment. “That,” his stoic face contorts just a little, “makes sense, in it’s own unique way. This is very typical of young Keira, I’ve been told.”

“I didn’t even notice that before without the light.” Laki is cracking up. “That’s great!”

You smile on the outside, but on the inside you’re not so sure anymore. “I don’t get it.”

“There are many meowth in these woods.” He tells you. “Soon it will be time for the Festival of Giving.”

“Festival of Giving?”

He looks slightly annoyed that you have to ask. “Yes. Small children come and give gifts to the Meowth. They paint their faces and make a gesture to assure them that they understand them have good intentions.”

“So it’s not a magical-”

He glares at you.

“Nevermind.” You fidget. He’s scary. “Sir.”

He sighs. “My wife tells me I am not very ‘warm’ to strangers. Forgive me. It has been a frustrating night. I am no closer to understanding what is happening than when I started. Perhaps rest will clear my head.” He gives a brief bow before starting to walk away with his Golurk.

“Wait! Have you seen a girl our age out here? She’s blonde, this tall, has a Lillipup and a purse.”

“Yes. Down that way. She seemed preoccupied so I did not disturb her.”

If there are enough Meowth around to have a festival then Murkrow shouldn't be much of an issue I feel (outside of generally being seen as unlucky). They're supposed to have a rivalry where they rob one another anyway.

>Tell him about Murkrow

This makes our new murkrow friend even cooler. He saw we were representing the East Side meowths in his West Side hood, and even though he was suspicious at first, he saw the value of putting aside our differences for the greater good and the acquisition of shiny trinkets.

It's a tale as old as time. It's a poetic and powerfully beautiful story about trust in the face of prejudice. We can all relate to judging books by their covers sometimes, but we can also relate to just wanting to steal a shiny bauble from some nerd we meet on the road. We can learn a lot from that shifty crow. Maybe there's a little murkrow un all of us.

“Good luck!” You wave. That guy seems alright. You and Laki start walking in the direction he pointed.

Laki picks up Bella and plays with her while you walk. She throws her up a few times and you try not to act nervous about it.

You yawn. It’s getting late and it’s been a long day.

“Laki? Laki?” You hear Valerie call out. “Sorry if I panicked. I thought about it and if it’s just a one time thing like you said, and nobody knows about it, then I guess a little experimenting couldn’t-” She freezes. “Oh. Herb. Hello.”

“Hi.” You smile and blink.

She plays with her hair and avoids eye contact.

Laki grins from ear to ear as she puts her arms around both of you. “Let’sh go back.”

The three of you and your Pokemon head back to the Pokemon center. It’s a pretty long walk, but you guess everyone is too tired to talk much.

I understand that shit getting annoying with the constant arguing and everyone reining their opinions in but there is a reason to not got harem

It spreads development of the relationship to far and makes it feel cheap, the reason the harem last time worked is because of the fact that we focused on Robin

“You know what a schtrong person does?” Laki lectures nobody in particular. “They know what they want, and they go for it!” Her hand grabs your chest for some reason. That tickles.

Valerie squeaks, but you can’t see why with Laki in between you both.

“What were you talking about before?”

“Uhhm. Nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Her voice is high pitched. She must be yawning. You yawn too. Laki removes herself from the two of you as you enter the Pokemon center. They have bunks here that trainers can use. There are little privacy curtains for each one, but you can still talk through them.

“I bet I can guess.” She must be talking about a contest routine. She was talking about that earlier. “Don’t worry. I don’t want to steal your thunder. We can work together.”

Laki and Valerie look at you. Valerie is shocked and Laki looks impressed. Valerie makes a motion to keep your voice down. Everyone is sleeping and you don’t want to wake them up. Good call.

“I’m just saying. We can share. I have a lot of good ideas for moves and accessories and costumes.”

Laki puts a hand on her hip while Valerie sits there, stunned at your generous offer to help. “Wow, Soft hands. You are a secret badass afterall, aren’t you?” She grins. “And you go after what you want, huh?”

“I can’t believe I’m hearing this.” Valerie finally says. “I’ve never...not with a boy, or a girl...I just, do you know what you’re proposing? I’ve thought about something like that, sure, but not for my first time. Herb, I had no idea you were so forward.”

Laki sits back on her bed with a knowing smile. “Oh, this is just delicious.”

Something is bugging you about her reaction. It’s not that big of a deal, is it? Is she talking about something else. Oh! You idiot! She was probably talking about cooking! Contest people are all about pokemon nutrition like poffins. Don’t look dumb. Just pretend that you were talking about that the whole time, too. “I don’t want to intrude. It’s just that I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. Lots of oils that could help, too.”

“Please!” Valerie looks worried. “Keep your voice down. I’m as open as the next girl but people could hear us!”

Laki is holding back her laughter.

“Sorry.” You lower your voice. “If you’re nervous, I could just watch for now and offer pointers. It’s all about the timing.” Poffins can get really finicky if heated too long or not long enough. “Don’t worry. I won’t just leave you to clean everything up after. I know how sticky it can get.”

“I’ve gotta shay, he sounds really considerate. You couldn’t ask for a better teacher.” Laki gives two quick raises of her eyebrow to Valerie. You ignore it. It’s probably just Laki still being drunk and weird. “I know” she hiccups “I know it shounds crazy, but isn’t a journey all about doing new things and exploring? That’s the crap they were telling me, anyway.”

Valerie holds a hand to her chest.“I suppose. It just lacks an element of romance, though, doesn’t it? No offense.”

“Romance? Are you going for a theme with a lot of hearts? I know a great way to draw on poffins with this quick and easy homemade icing.”

Valerie’s face goes blank. She blinks. “What.”

“Icing. For the poffins.” You guys are still talking about that, right?”

“Laki...” Valerie turns to the older girl. Laki is already passed out in her little bunk, muttering something about a golden combo. “Excuse me. I need to die now.” Valerie quickly closes her bunk so you can’t see her anymore.

There's a long silence. You don't know what you did.

“Herb?”

“Yes?”

“...Nevermind.” Her voice is flat and empty. “Go to sleep.”

You hope you didn’t offend her. You decide to just keep your mouth shut and catch some shut-eye before tomorrow’s meeting with the professor. You hear Hana apologize as she stubs something when rushing to the bathroom before you fall asleep.

You wake up the next day surprisingly early. There’s some time before your meeting.

You do your best to enjoy the breakfast they serve, then grab a quick shower. You’re careful to clean Mace, but Gobble and Bella seem fine on their own. Bella likes the water and Gobble only tries eating the soap once before learning his lesson.

You give a quick good morning to the girls as pull up with some free reading material. Laki is nursing a coffee and looks terrible. Valerie has her head buried in a paper. Hana looks tired but very happy.

You read up a bit about the area. There’s also a trainer’s tips section that refreshes you on a few things. Nothing huge, but you never know when the smallest amount of information could be helpful. These little things add up. You get some more background information about Murkrows and Meowths. There's a rivalry there. They fight over shiny objects. Murkrow aren't usually on this island at all. They do share other islands, though.

You leave out the door to the professor’s. Keira volunteers to come with you. The two of you arrive just in time to see the professor running an experiment. “Hello there!”

Professor Palm asks you to place Mace in a small tube. “It’s a safety precaution. It’s necessary to find out what’s going on.”

Mace looks unsure about all of this.

“He says he’s fine, and that he doesn’t need to be checked out.” Keira tells you. “He can prove it with a battle.”

“Alright Mace. Just relax. This is a perfectly normal procedure. We’re just going to seal the tube, and increase the pressure. It shouldn’t feel any more uncomfortable than a slight pressing sensation like this.” He pushes down on Mace firmly but gently. “Then we’ll be able to read the exact output.”


Mace looks to you. “I promise, the professor just wants to help. You don’t get hurt.” Bella and Gobble watch as you assure Mace. You lean close in the hopes that only Mace hears this next part. “I promise I’ll make you fried noodles after.”


Mace hesitates for a moment, but trusts you and waddles in. The tube closes.


“Now, just wait a moment and...there.” Professor Palm is watching a readout. You can see Mace inside the tube look around as the air pressurizes around him. He looks startled, but fine. “Mace, please give us a small demonstration.”


Mace looks uncomfortable, but you urge him on with a gesture. He fires off a quick burst of energy and knocks himself backwards before quickly getting back up.


“Interesting. How do you feel?”


Mace makes a pose. He feels great.


The professor messes with settings and dials and has Mace do it a few more times to varying degrees.


“Yes, quite interesting.” He mutters to himself. “Oh, I’m sorry. We’ll get Mace out of there and I’ll explain exactly what’s going on.” He goes to turn the knob to depressurize the tube, but stops. Gobble bit it right off.


You look to the readout on the screen. The pressure is increasing quickly.


“Emergency shutdown!” The professor yells as he tries to get the digital display to respond. It seems frozen. “Damned installers. I knew they didn’t have any idea what they were doing..” He whacks the side of it.

You try to work the dial without the knob. It’s slippery and nearly impossible to get a grip on. Precious seconds go by while you fiddle with it.

Keira pitifully hits the glass with her hands, doing nothing. The professor is impatiently mashing buttons on the console. “Don’t panic. He’s a rock type and used to high pressures. We have time to figure this out.” He assures you and himself

Mace thumps against the glass.

“No! Don’t break that glass!” The professor yells.

You use the bottom of your shirt to grip the dial and twist. You have to really put everything into it, but it works.

“Good! Good. Steady now. Not too fast.” He carefully instructs. “Yes. Just. Like. That.” You all watch the number in the readout stabilize and start coming down. “Perfect. We’ll let that come down for a few minutes, then open it up.”

There’s a huge sigh of relief. The pressure on everyone in the room goes down with the pressure in the tube. You walk over to the tube. Mace is looking up at you. You’ve got some explaining to do.


[That’s it for now. We’ll pick it up early tomorrow. Sorry about the late start/slow speed. It’ll actually be early tomorrow and not Gobbletime(tm). Really!]

Great thread as always

Laki has been confirmed for best girl.

>>796963
always

>>796963
Eh, this endeared me more to Valerie than Laki. Laki's coming off as sort of a desperate mess these last few threads, especially when we take her past into consideration.

Not that she's not a good character, because she is one. But getting plastered and trying to feel up and proposition anyone around - including teenagers, when she is physically an adult - is pretty skeevy. It's realistic for her situation, and it's good for speculative lewds, but it's far from a good character trait.

She needs to get her shit together before she's anywhere near "best girl" material. Being good friends, John and the rest of the crew will probably help her out with that, but that's a process.

>>797582
I can't think of a better person to get her on track than Herb. It'll be interesting to see.

>>797582
>Laki is coming off as a sort of desperate mess

That's what makes her such good fun.

She has issues, which makes her interesting and relateable.

Helping her work through them ought to make for an interesting sub-plot, no matter if it leads to romance or not.

>>797634
>>797636
Oh, I agree completely with both of you guys. I like Laki a lot. I just don't see her as good dating material. I see her as an interesting character who can grow into a good friend as long as John and the others help her along.

same, alcoholism is never a good character trait. Hopefully, over time, we can get her to gain self confidence and learn how to deal with failure in a healthy way

I'm definitely enjoying how dense Herb is, its a great change from how lewd Kat was.

>>797658
that's a good Keira butt anon

The best part of >>796368 and >>796393 is that Laki conked out before realizing that we were talking about something entirely different.

Now she thinks we're secretly a highly experienced super stud, and we don't know enough about what happened to correct her.

>>797981
Same. Helping Laki is a good long term goal that I can see at least Valerie really getting on board with. And dense John is great. So was Kat, but having characters with dirty minds react to what he says is lots of fun.

I've been thinking about rereading Pokemon Quest, for some reason I really want to read when Kat confesses to Robin and then runs off

>>798023
That wil only make thing more hilarious later.

>>797981

>>798023
>implying she will remember anything more than fuzzy details.

>>798023
I got the impression she had figured out what was going on, and was just egging us on for the fun of it. Holding back laugher, knowing smile, etc.

Poor Valerie. I hope she knows we're just dense and doesn't think we were making fun of her.

>>797582
but she isn't an adult
she's at most 17 and still underage which is why she was trying to hide her drunkness from Lepo

>>798133
Nah, Laki's in her twenties.

>>798133
she can buy alcohol legally, and Gobble has said the drinking age is 18 for most islands

he's also said she's a couple years older than the rest of the cast, and John is 15/16

I'd put her at 19 or 20, but we don't really have exact numbers

>>798155
a couple years older than Herb at 15 (which is what I see him has) would make her 17 and it was never said she acquired the alcohol legally and with the laid backness of the islanders in general I don't think it'd be very hard for her to get some without an ID.
Also her whole general demeanor comes off as a teenager that thinks they are already an adult and has o'so many problems that these young kids would never understand. At least to me it does.
So until we get an official age for everyone I'll stick with seeing her as 17.

>>798183
I imagine them as 16 and 18, but maybe that's because I personally was nowhere near ready to start wandering the countryside at 15.
