You can’t believe you beat the gym. And while you had a few tense moments, it wasn’t very close.

Keira slides down your body, arms and legs still wrapped around you. She rolls away with the huge smile on her face that even her particularly scary makeup today can’t dampen.

“Okay, what’s your real story?” The gym leader asks.

“I...I don’t understand.”

“The way you grabbed the vial while disguising your aura, the way you battled, and this obviously fake priestess. Who are you all, really?”

You did what to your aura?

“Fake?” Keira points to herself.

“I wasn’t born yesterday, Ghost Priestesses don’t just touch anybody, let alone leave their temple without a good reason.”

Keira looks more bemused than offended. She gives you a very rare look of self-awareness.

Polu steps forward. “I can promise you, they’re who they say they are.”

Her eyes are the only thing really visible under the face mask she put back on. And they’re looking awfully suspicious right now. “You’re going to have to be more convincing than that if you want your badges.” She dangles them out in front of both of you. “You’re the most suspicious of all, Polu. You’re hiding something.”

We can demonstrate our paladin powers on Mace or one of her pokemon. Whichever works for her.

That probably raises more questions than answers, but would she believe us if we said that we really don't understand what's so strange about that all? We should be like an open book to her.

“Keira’s just a weirdo.” You say. You check to see if she’s offended, but she’s taking that as a compliment. Maybe it’s because you said it with such an upbeat tone. “And my aura’s been weird since I went on a vision quest to become Maema.”

Now she’s really giving you the stink eye. “Weird how?”

You lean down and heal Mace. It’s not much, but it’s a visible change in his condition. Your head is a little light when you stand back up.

She says nothing for a minute. You can’t see her face either. But whatever she’s thinking, she must be okay with it, because she turns to Polu. “And you?”

“I’m just a trainer from Kontote traveling with friends and trying to make it as best I can!”

She gives him another suspicious look, but let’s it go. “Well, I must say I am impressed regardless. You’ve got quite the talent, both of you.” Polu looks less sure about that, but he’s more than willing to take the compliment.

She flips up two shiny objects. Everyone turns their heads up to watch them fly and try to catch them. Polu grabs his and yours falls to the grass. You pick it up and examine it. “These are TMs!”

“Venoshock.” She tells you. “Shame I didn’t get a chance to demonstrate it.”

“Does this mean we get badges, too?” Polu asks eagerly.

She points to your shirts. She pinned badges on them! “Maybe I could use you.” She says, more to herself than anybody else. “How would you three like to pull a job for me?”

“What kind of job?”

She motions for you all to sit back down to her table. She offers tea, but nobody takes her up on it.

“So my brother has a ship down at the pier. On that ship, is a small amulet. It looks exactly like this.” She takes one from around her neck and shows it to you. “But it has a qwilfish on it. I want it.”

“But why?” Keira asks.

“Because then, I’ll have the ultimate authority to dictate what happens to his ship. And if he gets mine, he control of my gym.”

“Why do you want his ship?”

She waves the concern away. “I don’t. I just want him to not make port here anymore. Whenever he’s on the island, he tries to take my amulet. As far as I’m concerned, he’d be free to sail around and do whatever it is he does normally.”

“It’s so sad when siblings fight.” Keira says, wistfully.

“Oh, it’s hardly a fight. More of a...rivalry. He’s always wanted to show that he’s the better thief. But I’m sure if he had control of the gym, he’d get up to all sorts of unsavory abuses. And we don’t want that, do we girls?” She yells back to the bushes.

“No, mistress.” A bush answers back.

“So what do you say? I’d compensate you, of course.”

[Since there were questions and it’s close, I’m going to do a revote on if Herb will take the job.]

“Do you promise that you’re just planning on keeping him away?”

She leans back. “Well, aren’t you the honest one, young Bro. Yes. If you do this for me, I promise just to keep him away.” She puts her hand up like she’s swearing. “If I can be honest, it’s not just about the gym, though. This island...it’s not good for him. He needs something more wholesome. Something where people won’t lead him down the wrong path more than he’s already gone.”

Oh. That’s sweet, in a weird, roundabout sort of way. As an older and younger brother, you understand, though. But still, she could be just saying that, and stealing isn’t really your way.

She didn’t explicitly say to steal it. You might be able to find another way. That’s probably a fantasy, though.

Gah! You’re so confused!

“If we get it, doesn’t that make us in charge of the ship?”

She leans in close. “Technically. But you wouldn’t be able to hold it for long. I wouldn’t recommend that course of action.” To emphasize her point, a bush launches a throwing star into the wood table right in front of you.

“Come on, will you try to get it for me?”

You look to your friends. Polu says nothing.

Keira puts a hand on your shoulder and gives you a disarming smile. “I’ll help, if you want. It sounds fun!”

“Alright. I’ll try.” You tell Kalai. “I can’t promise I’ll succeed, though.”

“‘Undersell and overdeliver’ huh? I heard that motto from a mainlander once.” She tells you. “We’ll give you a layout of the ship and a list of crewmembers, but beyond that, you’re on your own.” She claps her hands and an assistant appears the some paper for you. “Good luck.”

You and your friends are escorted to where you first arrived on the gym grounds. On the way, Polu takes you aside. “You sure you’re up for this, bro?”

“It couldn’t hurt to try, right?”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right. I’ll back you up. But what about Keira?”

She’s smiling and humming as she walks along. Cutefly flies along with her, going up and down with her pitch. She’s the picture of innocence.

“With all three of us, we can’t fail!”

He tries to look skeptical, but he can’t help but get psyched up. “Yeah bro! Team PolKeiHerb!”

Keira runs over with her own attempt. “Team KeiraHerbPol!”

“So, what’s the plan?” He asks as you all walk into the pokemon center. “Get some dark clothes and rope and grapple hooks? Oh man, that’d be so radical!”

“I was just going to try asking him for it. If he knows his sister's pure intentions, he can't say no, right?”

Polu and Keira share a look. He’s making a weird face, but she looks really happy with the idea.

“Okay, bro. You try that, and Keira and I will uhh, do a backup plan while you’re talking to him.”

“I want to go with Herb.” Keira protests. “I think he has a good plan.”

“Great! Nothing bad with having a fall back plan. We're counting on you, Polu!”

“Good luck, bro!” He grabs his pokemon. “Be careful. Don’t say anything too dangerous, okay?”

Huh. You wonder what he meant by that. Oh well. Your pokemon are delivered back to you from the pokemon center, and you and Keira start heading to the docks. According to the info they gave you, he and a lot of his crew tend to hang out at a tavern near there.

All sorts of interesting characters walk by as you make your way there. The streetlights become fewer and farther between, and the alleys become narrower and messier. Jeez, this town sure gets scary at night.

But somehow, you make it there without incident. The tavern looks right out of some movie. At least, from the outside. A few rough looking sailor types are gathered just around the corner of the entrance playing dice. A loud, manly cheer booms out from the wooden door. The smell of sea salt and stale beer stains permeate the air. Gobble and the others stay close to you.

You turn to your Keira. She doesn’t seem concerned in the slightest.

“Ready, Keira?”

“Yeah!” She reaches her palm out. You instinctively high five it. She looks ecstatic that it worked. “That’s a fun mainlander custom!”

Unless we're in a battle, I don't mind rolling ones. Sure, we fail, but it's usually in a funny way.

going by how many posts somebody has is not really the best way to detect samefags, I usually don't post unless I have something interesting to say and usually only vote when I think the outcome matters. Which means a vote is often times my first post. I tend to go more by if somebody just does the bare minimum to vote such as not making a small post with it describing their thinking as to why they voted that way; that's hard to fake.

You decide the simple way is best. No need to try something new, scary, and outside of your wheelhouse. You open the door and look around. Keira and your Pokemon follow.

The tavern looks exactly like you imagined it, and then some. Rough sailor types, serving girls with frilly dresses and distractingly low-cut tops that make you think back to Laki in that sundress for some reason, and smoke and pokemon making their way between it all.

You go to the bartender. He gives you a strange look. “You sure you’re in the right place?”

“I think so. I’m looking for Captain Pahoa.”

He stops cleaning his glass. “Oh. I see now. You cabin boys are getting younger and younger, though.” He motions his head to a large crowd around a table. “That way.”

Wow. That was easier than you expected! You head over to the large crowd and find a small opening to slide through to see what everyone is gathering around for.

“And then I swung back to my ship, the booty in one hand, and the other hand on the booty!” He holds a small chest in one arm and slaps the rear end of one of his crewmembers with the other. The thunderous roar of laughter would be jostling you over if you were squished between people.

Captain Pohoa is a large, bearded man with a stylish beard and an open leather jacket. He’s got an armband as a bandanna like Polu. He picks up a large mug and downs it in one go before wiping his mouth with his sleeve, somehow managing not to leave a drop or stain his sleeve.

“Go fetch more, will ya?” He tosses his empty mug into the unprepared hands of one of his subordinates.

“Hi.” You quickly take the empty seat next to him, then reach your hand out to shake his. “I’m Herb.”

He shakes it, but only in confusion. He looks around to his crew, but nobody has an explanation for your presence. “Hello.” He chuckles a little. His eyes rest on Keira for a second. “I’m not dying, am I?” He jokes.

Keira waves off his concern. “Technically we’re all dying, but I’m not here for that.”

“Huh. And here I thought I was being escorted to the heavens by a cute little cherub.” He kisses your hand. Bella leaps onto the table to make him back off, causing him to laugh even more. He doesn’t consider you or Keira even remotely threatening.

“Heavens?” Keira asks. “You mean the afterlife, right? Is a cherub another word for a Ghost Priest?”

“Uhh yeah, sure. Whatever.” He scoots closer to you. “So what’s a young trainer like you doing here?”

“I came to ask something from you.” You tell him straight.

“Stay and have a drink with me, and I’ll consider it.” He orders you a drink. You ask for water instead. Keira is given a mug as well and inspects it only briefly before chugging it.

The two of you end up talking for awhile. He asks all about where you’re from, if you’ve ever been out to sea, if you want to feel his muscles (Wow! Even more impressive than Laki!) and you both end up on the topic of fashion. He actually knows a lot. He even ends up giving you some tips on a few things that might really work for you.

“I’ve got a few crates of designer clothes that uhh, my crew and I happened to get on a five finger discount. Why don’t you come to my boat and we can have a fashion show?” That must be some sort of islander slang. He downs his next mug. “Oh yeah, before that, you had a favor you wanted to ask, right?”

Oh right. You were so into the conversation you almost forgot. Now, how to phrase this?

>>1350325
god you people are lucky, if this turned hard gay I don't think I would be able to continue. And I love this quest; it would break my heart.

>>1350333
Has gobble ever even made a Gay Bin?

>>1350335
I think at worstbest it would turn semi-gay. Kind of risque but nothing too overt. Too many anime influences.

>>1350348
You mean like everything with Kat ever?

>>1350335
I mean, I want it to turn gay, but for Polu, not this guy. I'd be super down for Herb examining his same-sex feelings because of this guy. But I don't see anything physical actually coming out of this. Maybe a homoerotic, noncanon bin at most. How does that sound?

>>1350348
Yes, but only if you count lesbians.

>>1350348
I don't think so. Normally I hate hard gay, but traps aren't gay

>>1350353
2 guys and 2 girls aren't the same

>>1350353
I mean Gay-Gay not Lez-Gay

>>1350356
Tender bara butt love?

>>1350358
No,

>>1350356
as long as the canon was intact I would be fine with it; I wouldn't read the bin but I would survive. I can't speak for everyone like me though, most wouldn't admit it is even an issue which makes the matter tricky to deal with.

“I wanted to talk to you about your amulet. Your sister send me. She’s worried abo-”

He pushes you back. Crewmembers are caught almost as unprepared as you are, but they drop everything and grab your arms so you can’t move. They even grab Keira, although you note that they seem really awkward and unsure about it. Enough that she’s able to squirm loose, crawl up one’s back, and jump to a chandelier out of reach. She can move like some sort of lubed up, long tube shaped water balloon.

He pats himself down with one hand and draws a sword on you with another. He finds his amulet safely on his person. “So, she thought she’d use my weakness against me, huh? Real convincing act.”

“What? No. She seemed really concerned about you. So I came to ask for your amulet so you wouldn’t be able to make port here anymore. She says it’d keep you from getting in trouble.”

He stares at you for a second. Then he chuckles, then laughs. The crew isn’t sure what to do, but slowly join in. Good timing, too, because you spot Bella about to attack his ankle. Gobble takes the opportunity to eat from his plate. Dice got up in the rafters with Keira somehow, and Mace isn’t anywhere to be seen, but you’re not too worried about him.

“You’re serious, aren’t you? And you just thought you’d ask for it?” Another round of laughter. Even Keira, who crawls up the chandelier chain to the rafters, giggles a little. It is pretty infectious.

“She must be worried. Or weak at the moment. Why else would she try such a desperate move? Sending you is just pathetic.” He makes an apologetic wave with his sword. “No offence.”

You understand where he’s coming from, but still. Ouch. “It’s okay.”

“I actually like you, Herb. You don’t find many people willing to just state what they want. And even less with as good an eye for fashion. But I’m going to have to keep you under guard.”

“What? Why?”


“Because me and my crew are going to the gym! Aren’t we, boys?”

They cheer.

Uh oh.

>Wait! Try to convince him to give it up (write in suggested. Also requires a roll)

“I challenge you!” You shout out. The crowd freezes.

“What?”

“I’m challenging you for your amulet. You can’t back down because of your bandanna, right?”

Everyone laughs. You hate that. You’re always getting looked down on in terms of toughness. Sometimes it just gets to you too much for you to let it go. “Hey! I’m serious. I just rocked your sister’s world-” the laughter stops, “with my Roggenrola.” It roars up even louder.

He looks at his arm, then to you, then he sighs and dramatically sits down on his chair. “Don’t be foolish, Herb. you think I command this crew with this bandana if I couldn’t battle?”

“Maybe he’s challenging you to Taipai.” A crewmen posits. And for his comment, he gets a death glare.

“Taipai?”

“Yeah, you know, where you have a pokemon race with a bunch of flags along the course, and can use one move every time you pass a flag.” Keira hangs upside down from the rafters. "You don't have that on the mainland?"

“Who's your most unfashionable man?”

“My most what?” He points to the crew member who mentioned Taipai. “I’d have to say it’s the same answer of who’s my dumbest man.”

“We’ll have a fashion-off. Whoever can make him look the most fabulous wins.”

He looks surprised, but intrigued. “Now now now. That’s a challenge. Alright, Herb. I like the way you think. But if I’m betting my amulet, and the very control of my ship, I need to know what you’re willing to wager.”

”I can tell you where she has some really embarrassing magazines.”

“Oh, Herb.” He waves a finger. “You wonderful little Pikachu!” He pinches your cheek. “You have no idea what a gift it is just to hear that they exist! Well, I certainly can’t say no to that.” He leans in close. “Did she have the fall catalog? It would have this tall drink of water wearing nothing but a Machamp belt.”

“I think maybe there was one like that. I can’t really remember. I saw her diary, though.”

“Diary?” He looks really interested now.


Bella leaps up on the table to make him back off. She relaxes when Keira lands down next to you and the men release you from their grip. “So we have a deal?”

He shakes your hand. Keira watches the ritual intently, trying to learn from it. “We have a deal.”

You feel a little guilty about what you just did, even if she sent you on a mission to steal. You really want to win now.

>>1350921
You know, I never saw the appeal in being called Daddy in bed, but "sailor" sounds like it would be pretty good.

So does Mr. Prime minister.

Also, chances are a paranoid ninja would have moved her diary by now.

I hope these two work everything out in the end. And that Herb gets some funny feelings along the way.

[Herb has an innocent aura and wears almost everything on his fashionable sleeve. He's clean, well groomed, and shiny. I didn't think about it until this thread, but he really is twinktastic.

It's just something that makes aggressive people want to claim him. It's why Laki likes picking on him so much. She'd probably mount a rescue mission for Herb if he were captured by this guy and be unsure if it were more about friendship or jealousy that someone else has her pet Herb.]

If Hana is able to let herself believe Herb won't hate her and think less of her, she'd pretty much never binge on it.

[Absolutely possible. Although Keira would require a long term setup and convincing, eventually she'd take a chance in the dark and go on and on about how forbidden it is. The first scare would probably make her freak out, but in a smiley "I can't fucking believe I did that" type of way.]

Haven't been posting in live threads mostly do to irl social obligations but just want to say keep it up Gobble I'm loving every second of this quest. Also Jane is best girl, feels good to type that again.

>>1353651
My ideal situation is that Herb and Keira become an item, but they decide to keep from getting biblical until Keira's achieved total detachment or whatever. In the mean time, Keira asks Hana and maybe Laki if they would serve as sexual surrogates.

And when Herb inevitably exhausts them/ they aren't available, she asks Val, Jane, and Polu.

And then on their wedding night Herb is a finely tuned loving machine, but finds the embrace of a romantic partner to be the best of all. Keira has her world rocked.

And then they have a scandalous amount of children.
