You try calm the circus on your head that is Bella and Dice wrestling, but to no avail. The two fall onto the sound with a thud, but don’t seem to mind at all and keep going. Actually, it looks like they’re having fun. What started as a fight turned into play. You sigh in relief and smile.

Tauros trots up and drops down what he was carrying. You pick it up. It’s some weird looking device. Wait, you know what this is!

“What is it?” Keira goes onto her tippy toes to try to see. She makes you feel big sometimes.

“A re-breather! I’ve seen these on TV. They let you breath underwater.” You think it was something like an hour of breath, and takes five minutes to recharge after. You’re not entirely sure about that so don’t say it out loud.

Laki reaches over and takes it from your hand to inspect. She makes you feel small sometimes. “I’ve heard of these. Let’s give it a test.” She puts it into her mouth. She spits and takes it out. “Bleh! Full of sand.”

After some cleaning and rinsing, you figure it’s good enough to test for real. You put it into your mouth, then dunk your head under the water. It takes a lot of willpower to force yourself to inhale, but when you do, you find you can breath after all! It’s a little restrictive, but hey, it works.

“Wow. Thanks, Tauros.”

Tauros grunts.

“He says it’s the least he could do after your help, and not to mention it.”

You reach to pat him on the head. He recoils at first, but accepts it. Aww, he looks so happy once you get a certain spot.

“Everyone ready to leave?” Laki asks, taking the chance to scratch it herself.” It snorts and backs away when it realizes it’s her. “Woah. Fine then.”

“I’m ready.” You say. You pack things up, give Tauros one last pet, and climb onto Wailord. It warmly greets you. You guess you’ve had a bit of time to get to know each other while training Surf.

The girls are all ready, and Laki goes to the front to direct her huge water pokemon.

“Goodbye!” You wave. As you leave on the water, you see Kecleon form out of thin air on the beach, waving back. Tauros leaps a bit at seeing them. They have a bunch of weird wooden frying-pan looking designs on little banners. “Bye!”

You sit back onto Wailord, absorbing the recent events and fiddling with the re-breather.

“Herb.” Keira plops down beside you, rubbing Gobble’s belly. He seems to really like that. “Umm, I want to make a good impression. Is there anything I should do or avoid when we meet your family?”

Her bodypaint looks a bit thick with some nice patterns on it. She really had fun with it today.

“Well, it’s not really polite to talk about lewd things people have done. So maybe just avoid that whole topic.”

“Oh.” She holds a hand over her mouth, giggling. “Like how everyone pretends not to notice anything at night in the bunks back at the temple.”

You try and fail not to picture those preistess girls from the temple you saw giggling at night in their bunks. “Umm, yeah. And watch out, because my dad might say make jokes.”

“But you said it wasn’t polite to-”

“Yeah.” You love your dad, but he can be pretty embarrassing sometimes. You wouldn’t trade him for the world, though.

“So he’s like that, huh?” She smiles and nods. “Okay! I understand.”

You watch the small island slowly vanish into nothingness. Boy, Wailord can really swim fast. You look around and see Nincada and Cutiefly hanging out. Meowth is wagging it’s butt, getting ready to pounce on Mace. It’s just about to leap when a gust of energy blows and startles it up a good five feet in the air. Meowth grumbles and walks off, and you swear you can see a smug look on Mace’s face somehow.

Keira watches Nincada for awhile. You remember that when Nincada evolve, they turn into a Ninjask and a Shedinja. And with Keira’s facepaint, any ghost type pokemon like Shedinja won’t be able to recognize her.

>>1504565
>Bring it up, maybe she doesn’t know about it
"What are you going to do when Nincada evolves?" Something that doesn't assume she doesn't know.

>>1504565

You want to bring it up. But you figure it’s best to ease into it.

“So there’s nothing else to remember, like a custom when I greet them?” Keira looks concerned.

“Nope. And I know if you just be yourself, they’ll love you. I do.” She smiles. But there’s a silence. “Wait! I mean, not like that. I just mean that you’re charming and fun. And that your company is-”

She holds herself as she laughs. “You make the funniest faces when you panic!”

“Right?” Laki comes in from behind. “Don’t you just want to bully him?”

“Well, prank.”

“Bullying is a form of pranking.” No it’s not.Laki pokes you in both rib, just enough to make you sit up straight. She winks and heads over to Chatot. Looks like she’s up to some quick training.

“Heh. Anyway, on the topic of lo-liking people, I know your Nincada must really like you, and will even when it evolves. But Nincada don’t evolve like other pokemon. It’s going to evolve into a a Ninjask and-”

“Shedinja.” She pulls her knees in.

“Oh.” You're relieved you don’t have to break it to her, but still not sure what her plan is “So you know.”

“I know what Nincada will evolve into. I don’t know what to do. I want to raise both, but I know I can’t. There’s a chance that Shedinja might just want to go on to the next world right way, and that means I have to guide it.” She looks at you with uncertainty in her dinner-plate eyes. That’s a rare look for her. “I don’t know if I can do that. What sort of priestess does that make me?”

>Maybe she can convince it not to evolve
>Everything changes. That’s the one constant in life

“You’ll know the right thing when the time comes. I have faith.” You put a hand on her back.

She sniffs and gives you a weak smile. “You don’t have faith, though.” She holds her pendent.

“I do in you.”

She tears up again, but her smile is really wide. “That’s so heretical and...” she thinks, “potato-y.”

“Corny?”

She nods enthusiastically. “Yes! That. I like it.” She wipes the tear off with the back of her hand. It removes part of her face paint. Is that a freckle?

“Keira, your face!”

She gasps and covers it up while looking away. “Oh gosh! What did you see?”

“A freck-” Her hands cover your mouth.

“Don’t say it! Oh, that’s so embarrassing!” She removes her hand and scrambles into your bag to get your sleeping bag. She dunks the upper half of her face right in, leaving her rear end up in the air. “Don’t look!”

“Keira! Your skirt!”

“What? Oh, I mean, don’t look at my face.” The sleeping bag muffles.

You avert your eyes anyway. A hand of hers reaches out and feels around for her paints. You try your best to hand them to her without looking.

She seems like she’ll be a while, and you have a short bit of time to kill before you get to your destination.

You haven’t gotten much exercise lately. Well, you did some swimming, but nothing very tiring. And while you’re doing that, you can get your pokemon to exercise too. You head over to Laki.

“Hey, do you have time for some excercises?”

One shoulder of Laki’s tank top falls as she grins. You just talked about faith with Keira, and you still don’t know what you believe, but you know that Laki stole the devil’s grin. “Why yes. Yes I do.”

She works you hard. Really hard. Push-ups, sit-ups, lifting pokemon, swimming alongside Wailord and almost being left behind. Not that she’d really do that, she was just motivating you.

Right?

Your pokemon are working hard too. You don’t think it’s quite fair to have something as light as Bella doing pushups since she can do that all day, but Laki already grabs some weights to put on everyone and comes up with custom exercises. None of that compares to the trail she’s putting you through. She did vow revenge when you withheld her massage, but this is really noodling your arms and other muscles.

“Are. We. Done. Yet?” You do another set of push-ups with her leg resting on your back.

“You just got to the halfway mark.”

Your pokemon are all fading fast. They don’t want to stop while you’re still going.

“You know I can’t massage if I pull a muscle, right?”

She grins. “I’m not asking you to pull yourself. I’m telling you to push yourself. Come on. Struggle!”

You push yourself. “We can do it, team!” You tell your pokemon. And for a few more reps, you almost believe it. After that, she pushes you on some more exercises. The sweat falls from your forehead as you push and push.

“One more set.” Laki tells you. She leans in really close. Her breath feels cool on your ear. “If you can do the whole thing, I’ll give you a very wet, sloppy reward. I just know it’s going to taste amazing.”

You struggle and push and give it everything you can. Not because of what she said, but because you want to take on the challenge and prove your manliness. But your muscles give out. No amount of motivation seems able to get them to work anymore. You don’t pull anything, but you just can’t finish. “I can’t” You finally give.

Laki gives each of your pokemon some water, then you. “That’s a shame. I was looking forward to trying to cook you some sloppy joe's. Good effort though. You took it as far as your body could go. I’m impressed.”

You don’t really have any energy to do much besides lie there for the rest of the ride. Maybe it’s because you’re actually feeling comfy, but the rest of the ride seems short. You arrive at the island in no time.

“Oh yay! We’re here.” Your sleeping bag jets up straight. Somehow, you guess Keira just knows. She must have fallen asleep in there.

You all climb up onto the dock and Laki thanks Wailord for the ride and puts it back in it’s ball.

“So, are you in a rush?”

You check your money again, as if it would somehow magically change. You still only have half the amount your mom asked for. At least Laki's exercise makes your funds feel heavy even if they're short.

“Pokemon center?” you ask the others. They seem to think it’s a good idea. “Alright. Let’s go.”

The walk is short but agonizing since it’s mostly uphill. Your legs are complete mush.

“Want a piggyback ride?” Laki half-mocks.

“Okay!” Keira leaps onto her back. Laki is about to fight it, but she just sighs and smiles, then hitches her up and goes on her way. You smile too, until Gobble leaps onto your back in an imitation and you fall forward.

“I think you’re a little too heavy right now.” You level with him. He just looks concerned that you’re hurt. “I’m fine.”

You get up, and this time the much lighter Dice leaps onto your back in surprise instead. Bella attaches herself to Mace and the entire group eventually makes their way to the nearest pokemon center. You wish those machines worked on humans.

Healing your pokemon takes nearly no time at all. When you tell the girls that you plan on finding a battle, Keira decides she’d like to slip away for a bit to prepare to meet your family. You try to tell her it’s not something to worry much about, but she’s already gone.

You look around the pokemon center. Luckily for you, there are a good amount of trainers here. In one corner is a Loanan boy about your age. He looks like he’s on a journey, too. There’s a pair of older looking twin girls that are sitting in silence by a table. An older but experience looking man who just got his pokemon back from the nurse gives the vibe that he’d be willing to battle too. Something about the way he walks.

Or maybe he was doing something else with his life and got into the game late?

Maybe he'll kick our ass but we'll still learn and grow from it?

I think the more immediate question we should be asking is how much we want to bet? Like, I wouldn't want to be a hypocrite by telling our mom not to gamble, then gambling away the money for our family.

You walk up to the older man. “Excuse me, sir?”

He looks down. “Oh. How can I help you, young man?” He has a glint in his eye, like he knows.

“Do you want to battle?” That was pretty easy. It must be because you’re too exhausted to be overly self-conscious.

“Oh? You just had your pokemon healed and looking for a battle? You must be the aggressive type, or perhaps trying to make a quick paycheck, hmm?” Before you can answer, he poses. “I accept! Name your bet and format.”

“Really? Just name it?” Laki approaches from behind.”

“Anything at all.” He confidently declares. He seems friendly. You’re not getting a shady vibe from him. But that confidence is making you second guess yourself just a little. Six fancy, polished pokeballs glimmer on his belt.

You were going to bet everything you have, since it’s just slightly over half of what you need for your mom. But should you? What if you and Laki do a double battle against him. Two minds could work faster than one, right? You’d have an advantage.

You’ll figure out the amount of pokemon after you decide the format and bet

“You sure about this?” Laki asks you quietly. “He doesn’t look like a pushover.”

Does that mean you do?

You shake off the thought. You do want to earn all the money your mom needs, but you also don’t want to lose it all and come home with nothing. You’d feel pretty bad if you gambled it all away after your talk with mom. “Single battle.” You say, then quote half of the money you have.

“I see. Interesting. And how many pokemon shall we use?”

“Is two okay?”

“Two it is!” He says. “But say it with some confidence, my boy.”

“Two!” You declare.

“My name is Hoilo.”

“I’m Herb!” You beam

“Laki.” She bows. He returns it.

You scramble to also give the bow that you forgot and apologize, but he waves away your concern. “Please, no need to be so formal.”

He leads you to a small clearing within the nearby woods. It’s not the biggest space, but it’ll do. “Go, Unfezant!”

Wow. He just sent that pokemon out first. You heard about this. That means he thinks he’s in a tier above you. Okay, no need to worry. You have some badges. You’re not terrible.

Laki watches without comment. You can tell it’s bothering her not to say anything, though.

You reach for your pokeballs. Since you just got them back from the pokemon center and challenged him, he hasn’t seen them yet. At least there’s that advantage.

It's on his move list. We haven't learned to do anything fancy with it though. Actually, I don't think we've even used it yet in battle. We don't know how mobile Mace will be during Gravity's duration.

I want Mace to learn a special reverse gravity eventually.

I just hope we can use Bella, she hasn't had a battle in forever

“Go Mace!” You send out your Roggenrola. A Rock type against a Flying type. That’s good strategy, right?

“Ah, a simple but effective approach.” He says. “But you don’t battle at my age without learning some tricks. Are you ready, Unfezant?”

It caws.

Uh oh. He’s already got a plan. You’d better act fast!

“Unfezant, Feather Dance!” He directs. “Your Rock type evolves to have quite the attack power. We’ll nip that right in the bud.”

Unfezant flaps it’s wings hard and sends down a huge pillow of feathers to coat poor Mace. It’s a huge amount, and you know that whatever physical attacks he tries are going to be greatly softened. On top of that, it looked extra effective, to the point where maybe he won’t be able to hear as well through that thick layer. This is really bad.

“Mace! Gravity!”

The rock that’s hidden somewhere in the big ball of feathers acts. It’s a pretty sloppy attempt, but despite that, you can feel it working even from where you are. Unfezant comes to a graceful but forced landing on the ground.

“Oh? This is a surprise. I expected a young man like you with a strong girl like that watching to be aggressive. I may have misjudged you.”

You sigh in relief. You think you got lucky with his approach this time. You need to be careful with this battle. But at least his experience might be a handicap against your unusual pokemon. Maybe you can use that.

The question is, is will Mace's muffled hearing hurt his accuracy? Will he be more vulnerable to attacks he doesn't hear coming? You wish you knew more.

[That’s it for tonight. I’d love to run longer but I have an early morning. Tomorrow is iffy on if I can run. I should be able to, but I don’t want to promise. I’ll post as soon as I know for sure.]

Thanks for running Gobble!

>>1506101
Thanks for running Gobble!

>>1506100
Well, you didn't miss the post-thread strategy musings.

Personally, I think we should immediately swap into Gobble. Mace relies heavily on his hearing, and it's not like he has odor sleuth to fall back on. By swapping him out we should be able to get rid of feather dance's effect the same way swapping gets rid of stat changes or leech seeds.

The trade-off to swapping is locking in our last pokemon and allowing him to choose his second to adapt. Maybe a fighting type.

But the thing is, Gobble is our bulkiest guy, so he would fare best in potentially swapping into an attack. And best of all, he has a pecha berry+natural gift. (That's a 60 bp, 80% accuracy [now 100%+] physical electric move.) with recycle he can use it twice. And his move pool is pretty versatile for whatever comes out after Unfezant. He also might be able to cheat out big damage with last resort, focus punch, or metronome.

I can see an argument for switching into Dice though. He'll resist a steel wing and has ice fang for Unfezant. But there are more potential counters to him too. (Electric and grass)

>>1506210
I agree on switching out. As much as I want to give Dice some screen time, we need to win. I have a feeling his dodging would have trouble working under the Gravity, meanwhile Gobble is a super heavy Pokemon who probably won't mind it too much.

>>1506452
Well, Gobble will be carrying around an extra 150 pounds under intense gravity. I'm not sure if his insane poke-strength extends that far. But I think the point is less that it will affect him and more that he doesn't really rely on mobility anyways.

Although he should still be able to get around with surf. Gravity shouldn't affect buoyancy since the water gets heavier too.

>>1506072
> is will Mace's muffled hearing

I do believe that's my first butt.

>>1506210
I completely forgot about Natural Gift, Gobble is obviously our best choice. It should be noted that while Natural Gift is Physical it doesn't make contact, so being able to move more slowly might be a non-issue. It's like an elemental wave that originates from the user.

I think we should absolutely use Dice if Gobble gets KO'd or if Gravity is too much for Gobble. I'd really like to use Bella more too. It's been a while since she's battled.

>>1506101
Hey, Gobble. You should also update the character sheet pastebin with so that Herb's real name is John Johnson.

>>1507959
It's a 2v2.

Would gobble's surf get rid of the feathers?
I want a chance for dice and Bella, but this battle is important so gobble is the best choice atm

>>1508130
I think just swapping out would get rid of the feathers on mace. It's possible gobble could clean himself off if he got hit too, but it'll probably be harder than just using surf as a special attack to ignore the atk drop.

>>1507995
I know, I'm just saying for the future. Both Dice and Bella haven't gotten a chance to battle in a while. I feel like we favor Gobble and Mace heavily.

>>1508560
Yeah, Mace certainly got a lot of spotlight by steamrolling that last gym. Bella really shone in the electric gym and Dice in the fire gym. But that's starting to feel like a long time ago. Gobble is just a good anchor all around and usually gets to show off a little, but hasn't had any crowning moments in combat for a while.

General rules:

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

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics involve three rolls of 1d100, taking the best, and using the base accuracy and crit ranges of the game, roughly, but the 'turn order' will be more like the anime, where sometimes you can do a few moves in a row or be hit by a combo of moves yourself, all depending on circumstances. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves, so beware of that timing. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first. Infact, you can do more than one move in a row like the anime, but so can your opponents.

Call me out on a mistake and receive a suggestive picture, mostly likely a butt.

Mace tries to shake off the feathers quickly, but they aren’t that easy to remove. The Unfezant struggles to adjust to the new intense gravity. It can’t get more than a small hop off the ground.

You look over the small clearing inside the wooded area for anything you can use to your advantage. There’s small bits of brush, some overhanging trees, some open air, but not much else.

“Good job Mace, now come on back.” You retrieve him with the pokeball. You’re relieved to see it penetrating the feathers and leaving them behind.

“A tactical retreat? Hmm, most young men are too headstrong and brash to know when to back down. You must be the tricky type. Very well, Unfezant, Taunt whatever comes next!”

True to his word, he has an instant Taunt ready for Gobble as soon as he’s out. Gobble throws up his hands in frustration and looks back to you as if to say “What’s this guy’s problem? Lemme at ‘em!”
