You return nidoran to the ball. It's a shame. If he had won this bout he might have evolved. You consider just resigning the match, saving yourself any chance of embarrassing yourself further. But that's not the Plumb way, to leave things half finished. Not unless you die anyway.

"Growlithe, I choose you." You release your highest level pokemon, trying to ignore the eyes boring into the side of your face. Yes she does see that its a great ball. So what? So what if you took charity from your ex-girlfriend? So what if your swallowed pride is making you choke? You'll keep cool. You'll win this and then get the gym badge and be well on your way to paying her back. It's not charity, it's a loan.

"Go for it Luke!" She says. Damn her. Don't look at her. Focus.

"Pound him Jiggles!" Says Cathy. You sister covers her eyes, peeking through a slit in her fingers.

Leer will let her pokemon get more attacks in for a measly HP payoff, and if bite doesn't make it flinch we'll have been attacked with nothing to show for it.

>>3373471
>Test out the fruits of your training: a direct ember attack (+10% to this roll)

You spot Bridget in the crowd now. The wiser thing to do is probably reserve the fruits of your training for the final battle, where the surprise might mean the difference between victory and defeat. But Whitney is here and as much as you might tell yourself that you're over the past, nothing is ever that simple.

You wait until the jigglypuff leaps into the air, where it cannot evade the attack. A mere split second, but it is enough. "Nibbles, like we practiced. Ember!" The flames are shot out more than spit out, without enough force to actually blow the jigglypuff back in mid-air.

It's legs are singed but it's still standing.

Your heart continues to jackhammer in your chest, and you have to force yourself not to glance at Whitney, not to see her reaction. The control is returning, but now you begin to become aware of all the eyes, almost everyone in the gym, and your breath comes short.

>31, 73, 26 vs. 40: Partial Failure

You struggle to keep the panic inside and the dizziness at bay, but the battle goes on. Cathy is down to just this jigglypuff and is unwilling, unlike the others, to resign. You try to choke out a command to finish it off, but your voice gets stuck in your throat.

"Jiggles. Sing."

Even for a jigglypuff, the voice is angelic. The music floats over the battlefield, putting your puppy to soft sleep and, perhaps unintentionally, calming your own nerves. The jigglypuff continues to sing even as it moves for another attack. Unlike your venonaut's daytime nap, this sleep won't break so easily to a blow.

>Growlithe: 2/2 (Sleeping)
>Keep going, hoping that Growlithe will wake before he takes too much damage

You watch helplessly as the jigglypuff pounds your growlithe with the full weight of his body, singing all the while. Your puppy sleeps through the bruises, the pain of a broken leg.

"Make it stop. Big bro make it stop." Says your sister, tugging at your shirt. You bat her away. You're not going to lose here, not to some random little girl.

"Nibbles. Get up boy. Come on boy, get up! Get up!"

He stirs and lets out a low moan. "Jiggles don't stop singing." The singing only grows louder.

"Come on Nibbles! Get up!"

His eyes flicker open.

His eyes open and he lets loose a roar that nearly shatters the windows. Jigglypuff stops singing, both his and his trainer's mouth held comically open. Growlithe shakes himself, head, then body, his broken leg doesn't even seem to bother him.

Time to finish this.

You're the only one unaffected by Nibble's sudden outburst. It feels like you had known it would go this way all along, gone is all the nervous energy; gone, the spinning world. What remains is a calm, gentle focus.

"Nibbles, ember." Almost a whisper.

Growlithe spits flame so quick there isn't even a moment to give a counter-command. All that bird shooting finally comes to bear. In ten seconds the jigglypuff is little more than an overdone marshmallow. Cathy balls her fists and for a second you think she's going to cry. But she doesn't. She takes a deep breath, returns jigglypuff back to its ball and smiles.

"Good match." She says.

"Likewise."

You return growlithe and take your sister's hand and make a beeline for the exit. The crowd parts for you, most already breaking off into their private groups now that the spectacle is over. If you're quick, you'll be able to avoid her. You've earned the privilege to challenge the gym leader and you can exercise that at any time (within the limits of the fine print on the pass), no need to stick around for conversation.

Naturally Whitney has the foresight to wait for you outside. "Hey! That was a good match." You crush a drop of sweat rolling down your cheek, wishing she wasn't so goddamn pretty.

"Thanks."

"Are you gonna challenge Bridget now?"

"What's it to you?"

She looks hurt for a second, but you're not fooled. So you tell yourself. "No, I was just...never mind. I'm glad the great balls worked out." She offers. But this is the wrong thing to say right now.

"I'll pay you back as soon as I can."

"What are you talking about? It's a gift. It was a gift, you don't have to pay me back." She's almost pleading with you. Yes, you're certain she's still feeling guilty about it. Which is good. Or maybe it's not good. You scratch behind your ear. There's an awkward silence. "Anyway...you look good. I like the clothes." She says.

These are tricks Luke, you know that don't you? Don't fall for it. She's not different from the trainers she used to rule. The succubus preying on suckers.

"Where's Eric?"

She actually flinches. "He's working today."

"Tell him I said Hi. And ask him how the scyther is working out."

"Scyther?"

"He'll know what I mean. Anyway, I have to go." You don't say it was nice to see her. It never is. You brush past her and in typical movie fashion she grabs your arm. Doesn't say a word. Just stands there. "What?" You say.

"I know what I did to you was messed up and I just--"

You brush her hand away. You turn and even smile at her. "It's cool. Water under the bridge." Neither of you believes that for a second, but she nods.

"I'm heading for Indigo Plateau tomorrow." She says. Despite everything, the utter finality of it still stings.

1/2

>>3374625
"I'm happy for you." You say, somehow still smiling. You're getting good at this. But then, you learned from the best.

"I'm really sorry." She says, doing that thing she does where her eyes get all misty and her voice gets all soft and fragile. More tricks than a two-bit whore.


"Water under the bridge, like I said." You say, warning her not to go any further. She understands. "See you around." And you're gone. Not even a look-behind.

---

Back from the pokemon center with your fully healed party you have a choice to make. You can go right back into the gym and try to nab that badge today. Whitney might still be there, but you can handle it. But the privilege to challenge lasts a full 24 hours. You can always get the badge tomorrow.

Having a Nidorino would be nice, but also getting Growlithe a bit stronger means he'll be about ready for using that Sun Stone.

>>3374630
>try to to catch another pokemon. Also use our stone to evolve Growlithe

>>3374630
>>Write-in
Into the wilds for a training montage! Maybe catch something if we find anything decent.

>>3374642
I'm just a cautious person by nature I guess. Challenging a gym with 3 pokemon just makes me uneasy. At the very least there are somethin

>>3374647
>>3374651
Note that grinding in the wild won't level your pokemon any further (unlike the game, in this quest, there's no experience to be gained from grinding the same mons over and over). You can either challenge trainers or try training at a different place.

>>3374630
>>Back to the gym, finish this off and your payout

>>3374662
Can we work on setting up a training course of our own for our mons? Maybe a regimen or something that they can follow? Beyond that, what about training with our sister? Lending her one of our mons or catching one for her and training against eachother in our spare time. That viable?

>>3374662
Well that's good to know. Frankly I would be fine with either catching another mon or going back to the gym. I'm voting for the former but if it is clear a tiebreaker is needed I am willing to switch to keep the quest moving.

>>3374676
I mean I suppose we COULD catch a pokemon for Rosie? Although we could always do that after we beat the gym. Dont we also have a fire stone we havent used?

>>3374676
Both of these are definitely viable. But they won't raise the level of your pokemon. They will however give you bonuses to stats and attacks depending on the particulars of the training regimen.

>>3374693
Sun Stone but it works fine regardless. Sun Stones in this cover Grass, Fire, and the normal Sun Stone evolutions

I hope we can capture a Pidgey or Spearow, for the fight against Bugsy.

>>3374685
I see where you're coming from but I think we still only have great balls and It'd probably be a good idea to wait and use them in a new area, rather than just bumper our team with a mon we're not likely to keep on our team long term. That's my viewpoint though.

>>3374630
>Evolve Growlithe with the Stone, and catch Rosie a Pokemon. After that, go crush the gym.

Best to get this done now. Keep Arcanine in the back in case things look dicey, but work to evolve Nidoran first

>>3374711
>>3374650
Don't do this. It'll stunt Growlithe's growth. Gotta' wait until he learns enough moves.

>>3374630
>Look for a new Pokemon to catch
>Grind a little while we do so.

>>3374662
Well, that's horrifying. Without cheap grinding we might actually have to be competent.
...
We're doomed.
Well, maybe we can get a Drowzee or something. They're usually decent-to-goodish.

>>3374709
This also has merit.
Well we at least kind of know what to expect from the gym. Normal types. A geodude would not be uncalled for.

>>3374734
Yeh I agree we should wait before evolving Growlithe. In that case I'm switching to
>>3372999
>Catch a pokemon and go to gym in the morning

>>3374711
According to this>>3374662 evolving Nidoran is probably a no go at the moment. We could evolve Growlithe but is it worth doing at the moment?

That's a genuine question by the way, I don't know much about Growlithe's leveling and learnable moves, anyone know if it's worth leveling up Growlithe first or if we're better off just evolving it now? Any moves or stat increases worth holding out on?

>>3374734
Things don't seem to be perfectly mimicking the games. We can raise stats through training. I assume we can work to teach our mons moves through practice. QM, are moves limited to level ups and TM's in this?

>>3374742
He learns flamethrower at 17 apparently.
If we want to wait for a bit till he gets there I would be totally on board with that. Being an arcanine that only has Ember and bite would be a bit embarssing for him.

Re: Moves

For movesets I'll be sticking pretty close to the game. However, that's only for the base moves. There's nothing stopping you from creating custom moves (via training) that combine the standard moves in unique ways (e.g the sing+pound combo that the jigglypuff used)

>>3374751
He learns flamethrower at level 50 actually: https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-gs/058.shtml

>>3374742
Typically speaking, stone evolutions mean a Pokemon will no longer learn moves through level up. So unless we can shell out for TMs or a Move Tutor, or hold out for latent egg moves, best to hold off.

>>3374751
That depends if we're going off of the Gen 2 learnset or Gen 7. Gen 2, it's 50.

Y'know. Some ideas, here.

One, we can always go back to National Park and look for a Scyther. They don't only exist on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. We could also check the trees for Heracross.

Two, we ought to check in with the daycare. Not to train, but-- in Crystal, you get an Odd Egg there, that hatches into one of seven possible baby Pokemon. Maybe we can get one of the eggs a trainer didn't want, if we do some favors for them. Could be a good starter for our sister, even.

>>3374759
>>3374751
Looking at the moves a bit, it definitely seems like Growlithe is worth leveling for a long while. Personally I'm completely fine with holding off until level 50, it's a long wait but it'll be worth in the long run.

I feel like getting the gym done. Also, if we only follow Gen II then does that mean the other moves are also being removed from later gens? Otherwise, Flame Wheel is the level 17 level up in current gen, and Flamethrower is Level 34 to my knowledge

>>3374785
>Also, if we only follow Gen II then does that mean the other moves are also being removed from later gens?

Not entirely sure what you mean by this. If you mean moves that were introduced in later gens, then yes, those moves are out. I'm only dealing with the movesets from gen II.

Also, regarding TM's, yes they are available and can be obtained in various ways. We'll get to that soon I'm sure (the Department store sells a few).

>>3374759
>>3374803

Sticking to GSC's learnsets is super restricting and I very much hate it, but I do *get* why you're doing it. Just, three questions, in that regard.

Is the Physical/Special split even a thing here? Because, Growlithe, he's a physical attacker, but there aren't any actual physical fire attacks until Gen 4. Which blows. Is Flame Wheel, at the very least, physical?

Are abilities a thing, even? Venonat had the option of using its Compound Eyes before, as a special move of sorts. Is that something sort of, innate to a Venonat, the way Vaporeon can turn invisible in water, or was it a for real actual ability. Does Growlithe have Flash Fire, here.

Can we learn or in some way "unlock" egg moves to help expand our possibilities some? Even if it's just a sort of upgraded version of our other attacks. Like upgrading Bite to Crunch, which we wouldn't normally learn, or Tackle to B- oh we don't actually GET Tackle. Okay. Uh. Take Down, to Body Slam, in that case.

>>3374810
>Is the Physical/Special split even a thing here? Because, Growlithe, he's a physical attacker, but there aren't any actual physical fire attacks until Gen 4. Which blows. Is Flame Wheel, at the very least, physical?

Not so much. Rather than focus on stats, I'll be focusing more on individual attacks and how you go about training your pokemon. So, basically the split is irrelevant for the purposes of this quest.

>Are abilities a thing, even? Venonat had the option of using its Compound Eyes before, as a special move of sorts. Is that something sort of, innate to a Venonat, the way Vaporeon can turn invisible in water, or was it a for real actual ability. Does Growlithe have Flash Fire, here.

No, I'll be omitting abilities as well except for the flavor stuff that might be in the pokedex entry or the bulbopedia biology sections.

>Can we learn or in some way "unlock" egg moves to help expand our possibilities some? Even if it's just a sort of upgraded version of our other attacks. Like upgrading Bite to Crunch, which we wouldn't normally learn, or Tackle to B- oh we don't actually GET Tackle. Okay. Uh. Take Down, to Body Slam, in that case.

I've actually thought about this. Yes, there's a way to learn egg moves (hint: catch a drowzee).

>help expand our possibilities some?
TBF he did say that he encourages us to be smart and customize our attacks. There are a whole lot of ways to utilize flamethrower differently

>>3374830
Does it have to be a Drowzee or any Psychic type, because I was really hoping for a Slowpoke.

>>3374838
Nope, doesn't have to be drowzee. It's not so much the pokemon as it is something else.

>>3374838
Iirc Drowzee is notably closer to Goldenrod

>>3374838
Anon, I am so down for a slowpoke. I really hope we can evolve it into a Slowking, probably turn into a whole sidequest for what we need but I would be all for it.

>>3374856
I've been prepping a nice little arc with the slowpoke cave for Azalea town. I'm not gonna railroad of course, but you'll at least have the opportunity to catch one later on.

>>3374846
It is, yes. But Slowpoke are a guaranteed find at the well in Azalea.

>>3374843
Given my understanding of Drowzee and genetics, I'm guessing it's some dream bullshit. Specifically "Drowzee remembers every dream it has eaten, and may show past meals to a person that often sleeps by it." So probably just Hypnosis. Maybe Dream Eater? Hopefully Yawn is an okay substitute.

>>3374830
>flavor stuff that might be in the pokedex entry or the bulbopedia biology sections

Let's see what we're working with here, then.
Venonat: Eyes function as radar units (The Compound Eyes ability last thread) and its body is covered in poison ooze, which is how we were poisoning fools without knowing Poison Powder yet (level 20)

Growlithe: "Growlithe also has a powerful olfactory sense...It is able to smell the emotions of others, and never forgets a scent. However, strong, unpleasant smells can disable its sense of smell for short periods" So tracking, probably, and weak to Stink Type.

Nidoran: Very good hearing and "When angry, it extends its toxic spikes and charges, stabbing with its horn to inject poison" Which is really just Poison Point so.

So. How you handling dex entries? Things didn't get too absurd yet by Gen II, but you still have Pokemon like Machamp or Alakazam who are listed as having absurd feats. Regardless, we should definitely grab an Alakazam.

>>3374856
Not a psychic type, but Mareep also seemed to be a very popular choice last thread. Whether for our own team or as a pokemon for Rosie. Some kind of flyer is also a must have a some point.

>>3374884
>>3374846
We could compromise here. Get our team a slowpoke, catch a drowzee for our sister and have her be our resident....egg move unlocker? Or whatever you'd call it. Also remember hard limit for carrying pokemon isn't 6, just as many as we can reasonably carry, plus we have to people to split the pokemon between. In fact if we just shared pokemon with our sister that would make things a bit simpler.

>>3374884
Can you imagine a mental fight between a Musharna and Drowzee in the dream Realm

>>3374887
Venomoth, while incapable of using Fly, does utilize flight. So while we probably can't ride it, it'll probably function as a flyer in a more limited yet practical sense. Like getting a bird's eye view, or reaching tall shelves.

>>3374856
I'd love a Slowking, too.

>>3374864
Fuck yeah. Probably Rocket related, at that. QM does this egg thing sound feasible >>3374770

>>3374864
Nice
>>3374887
I remember that. I'm all for a mareep or elekid as our longterm electric. A pikachu is fine too though we might just hand that off to our little sister later on, assuming we even find one of course.

>>3374887
Would not be opposed to getting Rosie a tasersheep.
For us, not many electric types I like, DESU. Especially this early in the series.

>>3374909
A Noctowl actually might be a neat idea. It is a flyer and can learn psychic moves iirc. Been a while since I used one.

>>3374885
I assume you're referring to the "5000 IQ" (not sure what the absurdity is with Machamp's entry, seems OK to me). Yeah, we'll figure it out when we get it to it. For now, abra's teleportation abilities make them very difficult to catch. You can try to win one from the casino, but it's going to be a lot harder without the ol' save states.

>>3374907
>Fuck yeah. Probably Rocket related, at that. QM does this egg thing sound feasible >>3374770

Sure. I actually think I forgot to mention the daycare center when you guys were on route 34 before. But it's there. So is the odd egg, but there'll be a quest associated with it, it won't be as simple as just picking it up.

The vote is still tied it seems. So what I'd like to do is just combine the two. Hit the gym, try for the badge and then spend the rest of the day/night in the wild. Does that sound good to everybody?

>>3374909
If we can't get an Elekid egg, I'm rooting for Magnemite. A Mareep for the sister is fine too though.

>>3374918
Our electric type options are fairly limited. They consist of: Pichu, Magnemite, Voltorb, Jolteon, Elekid, Chinchou, and Mareep. Getting an Eevee is unlikely, though, so cross that off the list.

>>3374918
>DESU

>>3374932
Moving a mountain with one arm is absurd. But whatever. EGGQUEST is on the table, woo. I didn't expect it to be for free, that's why I said we'd have to do favors.

Yeah let's try for the gym, then.

>>3374932
Sure. I really hope we catch a Pichu for ourselves though.

>>3374932
Sure sounds good QM

>>3374932
Ah. I was thinking of his FireRed entry, where you learn Machamp can fire off a 1000 punches per second. But it's a later entry so nvm.

>>3374948
Well, for what its worth, Golem was pretty big back in the Gen 1/2 Mega, but that was solely for Explosion. Geodude is... there are a lot better Rock/Ground types. Namely Larvitar. Onix is worse in terms of sheer stats, but better in terms of being a fuckhuge bouldersnake which is probably valuable in this sort of setting, as well as sheer potential, i.e. Steelix.

>>3374965
If we ever fight Jasmine at least we have a strong firetype

>>3374948
It's not necessarily bad, there's just better options out there

>>3374936
Eevee would increase our Gary themed team even more lol

No, it's best to settle thing as quickly as you can. Two months is not a lot of time and twenty thousand dollars is not a little bit of money. The faster this goes, the better. In reality you probably should have never offered to help Mr. Yamauchi, but old habits die hard. Loyalty is a hard weed to kill.

The guy at the entrance of the gym doesn't even bother asking. He hands you the challenge ticket and waits for the cash. "Good luck." He says. You nod and make your way through the labyrinth of hedges, straight toward the exact center of the gym, a depressed section that is the main battle stadium. Bridget is there already, going through the motions of some gymnastic stretches. She must've been expecting you, because there's a crowd gathered, chairs have even been set up. You let your sister go and sit with them.

"Hope you don't mind the audience." Bridget says. She's a few years younger than you, but she's no longer the kid she was when you first met her. She never really was a kid. "It's been a while since someone has gone for the badge."

"I don't mind." Your pulse is racing, but it's not the usual panic. You're eager not nervous.

She rises from a full split and does a backflip to the trainer position. Her pokeballs are shrunk down and tied to a bit of lace on her wrist. There's only two pokemon there, since this is your first badge.

"Ready?"

"Let's do it."

Which pokemon to start off with?

>Nibbles (growlithe)
>King (nidoran)
>Fluffy (venonaut)

>>3375031
>Fluffy (venonaut)
We dont know what the hell she has. Altho I imagine there's a Tauros or Milktank on that belt. Best to start with our status effect guy.

>>3375031
>Fluffy (venonaut)

It's VenoNAT, by the way QM. No "u."

>>3375031
>>Fluffy (venonaut)
Fluffy the terrible, doom glider, bringer of the poison wind, may he serve us well and cripple our enemies, until the day of his ascension to begin the end of all.
To use his full title.

>>3375031
>Fluffy (venonaut)
She'll probably have a Miltank and Clefairy

>>3375058
Soon brother. The Purple Doom is still earthbound sadly. But onw day he shall spread his wings as a lovely toxic flying boi

>>3375065
That's something the protagonist faces for their 3rd badge. I'd sooner bet on a Snubull and a Hoothoot.

>>3375031
>King (nidoran)

Closest to evolving, and I'd rather he soak up EXP.

>>3375045
>>3375048
>>3375058
>>3375065

"Treble" Bridget throws first. A clefairy.

You release Fluffy and the little puffball has once again fallen asleep. You really need to spend some training him out of that. Bridget doesn't lose a beat, instead of making the mistake of waking your venonat up, she doubles down and has clefairy start singing.

>Fluffy: 3/3 (Sleeping)

>Switch out for growlithe, save venonat for later
>Switch out for nidoran, he's the only one with fighting moves
>Stay with Fluffy, his poison fur is still a decent deterrent cleafairy's attacks

>>3374742
>Any moves or stat increases worth holding out on?
Going by the Gen II learn set, Flame Wheel and Flamethrower. If we're using a later set, we probably want Flare Blitz.
We really need to get Extreme Speed for our Arcanine so we need to remember that. I would even suggest grabbing Extreme Speed over Flamethrower.

>>3375094
I always wondered about that in canon. Seems like someone in the later cities would be fucked trying to fight level 50 gym pokemon for their first badge Staggered difficulty like QM seems to be doing makes sense.

>>3375101
>Stay with Fluffy, his poison fur is still a decent deterrent cleafairy's attacks
We need to keep Nidoran in reserve. I dont know what her second is, but I'd rather not blow King's gasket duelling right away. Fluffy can tough it out for now.

>>3375101
>>Stay with Fluffy, his poison fur is still a decent deterrent cleafairy's attacks
If we switch out, she'll just start singing again.

Try whistling at a high pitch to wake him/her up. I'm going with her. Fluffy's a girl now. Whistle at Fluffy to wake her up.

>>3375104
If you level Growlithe to 50, and then use the Evo Stone, Arcanine will learn Extreme Speed.

>>3375105
It's something confirmed in Pokemon Origins.Gym Leaders have different Pokemon for different tiers of challengers.

>>3375101
>Stay with Fluffy, his poison fur is still a decent deterrent cleafairy's attacks

>>3375111
Aw, wait, nevermind, he's a dude.

>>3375101
>Call out for Fluffy to wake up and tackle the clefairy.

>>3375111
You know if Venonat knows Disable we could use it to shut down Sing for good.

>>3375124
It does. Or, it should, at least. That's a level 1 move.

>>3375101
>>Stay with Fluffy, his poison fur is still a decent deterrent cleafairy's attacks
Dang it. Okay, this time when we're done here we're teaching the apocalypse in waiting to stay awake in the daytime. Not forgetting again.

>>3375114

You wait for the attack, but it never comes. Clefairy finishes its song and then...Bridget switches out.

"You didn't think I was that stupid did you?" She says.

"You learned from the best."

She flushes a little.It's not Whitney you're talking about. Whitney never bothered training the people in her gym. Still, from what you remember most of Bridget's pokemon depend on physical attacks. The poison is going to be hard to get past.

"I choose you...Blob." Unless of course, she has a Ditto. "Transform!" A pale purple version of your own Fluffy now stands staring back at you. So much for poison.

Your venonat wakes from the pain. But it's a hollow victory, his feet are crippled and he can no longer run. That leaves only confusion and poison, but the Ditto copy will be immune to both. You have to switch out, or watch your own venonat get tackled into submission by his copy.

Burn the play-doh fucker to a crisp

>>3375185
>>Switch out to nidoran, the poison hopefully won't work on him

>>3375187
Also we will have the type advantage cause Venonat is part bug. I assume ditto takes on the type as well. Nibbles is perfect for this

>>3375185
>That leaves only confusion and poison, but the Ditto copy will be immune to both
Wait, why would it be immune to confusion?

>>3375185
>Switch out to growlithe, transforming also has its drawbacks

>>3375185
>Switch out to growlithe, transforming also has its drawbacks

Disable... does damage? O. Kay. Weird.

Also, yeah, Ditto-nat would be immune to neither Confusion nor confusion as a Bug/Poison type.

>>3375202
Psychic is not very effective against bug tho right? QM probably meant it wouldnt do much damage as opposed to actual immunity

>>3375207
Reasonable enough
Regardless fried bug is on the menu soon

>>3375206
>>3375202
>>3375190

I basically interpreted supersonic as a spore-type attack. So logically, venonat would be immune to his own spores and likewise his own poison. Thus the copy would be as well. That would not be the case for other pokemon's poison/spores though.

"Don't get overconfident. Wasn't that the first thing I taught you?"

"Nibbles. Let's finish this."

"Blobby, now!"

...what? Why? It's explicitly using soundwaves to cause confusion.
I get you're diverging from game mechanics, and frankly that's one of the things I like about this quest. It means we have to know about pokemon instead of games, and that's interesting.
But this is a completely arbitrary change that we'd have no way of knowing about OOC, for no discernable reason, that only gets mentioned right at the moment it screws us over. That's a little disconcerting.

>>3375237
He made a deleted post where he said that he had misplaced supersonic in Venonats moveset. From what I can tell he thought that Venonat had access to a powder attack at current level when he actually has Supersonic. It was an honest mixup

>>3375237
At no point that I am aware of did QM actually think that Sound Waves=Powder spores

>>3375227
>>3375228
>>3375232

>1d100+9 (+9 Level Difference)
>83, 34, 22 vs. 50: Failure

It's to be expected. Nibbles has gotten faster and the blob wonder is slow in the form of your prize-winning venonat, but there's always a little delay from the undigitation process of the pokeball. Growlithe gets tackled to the ground, and bits of the purple fur gets stuck to his skin, spreading their poison into his flesh.

>Nibbles: 1/2 (Poisoned)
>Burn 'em up (+10 to hit)
>Try biting his eyes, Nibbles is already poisoned as it is
>Roar the ditto into submission, forcing Bridget to switch out

>>3375237
Yeah this was an oversight on my part as described here >>3375241. To be fair, I think I did describe the attack back when you first used the attack, so it was already established that that's how the supersonic/confusion attack worked. If you guys don't mind a retcon, we can change it back to the regular sound attack, in which case I'd argue immunity by the fact that...venonat has no ears.

>>3375251
Nah, it's all good.

>>3375249
>Burn 'em up (+10 to hit)

>>3375249
>>Burn 'em up (+10 to hit)

>>3375249

Venonat have to have ears, man.Or some way to interpret sound. Otherwise it wouldn't be responding to our commands.

I'm fine with retconning Supersonic *back to how its supposed to work,* but there's no reason for Venonat to be immune to sound-based moves.

>>3375249

>Burn 'em up (+10 to hit)

>>3375249

>>3375251
If it's an established thing I just missed, that's fine. My bad. All good.
But

Yeah, no. I call bullshit on the grounds that we can tell it what to do by talking.

>>3375251
>in which case I'd argue immunity by the fact that...venonat has no ears.
Venonat has ears, otherwise it wouldn't be able to hear commands or anything. Also, it has neither Soundproof nor Own Tempo.

>>3375260
It has it's antenna, but those can be immune to the soundwaves it makes for its supersonic attack (else it would confuse itself). Likewise I imagine all pokemon that can use confusion have a similar immunity to their own soundwaves (but not necessarily of others)

>>3375265
I mean at this point we are already several rounds past the initial problem. I don't think there's Honestly much that can be done.

>>3375265

>Super Critical!

You can tell that Bridget wants to switch back to clefairy. It's a standard tactic, put growlithe to sleep and then let the poison finish him off. A maneuver you, yourself might have used, if in the same position. But Nibbles knows the game, you don't even have to give the command, all you do is point and the fire follows.

The instant the poisonous fur catches the flames, it spreads so quickly it almost seems like the copy-nat has exploded. The transformation breaks instantly and the ditto is returned to its ball before the damage can proceed to something fatal. Bridget wipes a stray bead of sweat from her forehead.

"Treble."

The clefairy's back out. You'll have to prevent it from singing some how.

Nibbles is a good boy. And since fairy isn't a thing yet (I think?), he can rip throats out all day long without worrying about any silly type disadvantages.

>If you level Growlithe to 50, and then use the Evo Stone, Arcanine will learn Extreme Speed.
Well actually, with stone evolutions you either evolve Growlithe at 49 then level up to learn Extreemespeed and give up learning Flamethrower forever or evolve at 50 with Flamethrower and guve up Extremespeed forever since Move Relearners aren't a thing yet in Gen 2. Of course QM can just say fuck that and change the mechanics for it.

>>3375337
Night QM!

>>3375544
That's not how that works, no.

>>3375544
Why give up on flamethrower? It's a solid move.

>>3376251
If it's a case where we have to pick one or the other, Extreme Speed is better.

>>3376286
I mean I agree but at some point Nibbles is gonna need a fire move better than ember

>>3376286
>>3376317

>>3376317
Flame Wheel is on Growlithe's direct learn list. We can also pick up Fire Fang.

>>3376355
Fire Fang doesn't exist yet.

Just train nibbles to bite and breath fire at the same time.

>>3376355
Fire Blast is a must have

>>3376398
So like Bite down and then use his breath to burn them? That's brutal. I like the way you think.

Honestly, we should be less focused on moves and just combinations, tactics and whatnot. Teaching Growlithe to intensify an Ember to mimic a Flamethrower, infusing his teeth with flames while biting to recreate Fire Fang. If a move doesn't properly exist in this gen, we'll work to recreate it or improve upon our existing moveset.

"Sing, Treble."

By the time clefairy open his mouth, your growlithe is already half-way across the field. He's able to get out only the first three notes before Nibbles delivers on his name and sinks his fangs into the clefairy's throat. He goes down hard, pinned down by the force and shock of the blow.

A close range ember would finish the job, but Bridget has the good sense to return her pokemon before it can get that far. The silence hangs in the air.

"Good match." She finally says.

"Thanks. You too." You return growlithe to the ball.

Bridget braces her hands on her hips. "Well, if it had been an even match..."

"You can't always depend on that."

"Ever the teacher. Come on, let's get you your badge."

You follow her back to the entrance of the gym, with your sister behind you. There's a small office there, cluttered with paperwork that is in the process of being sorted into a filing system. "Sorry about the mess. Whitney wasn't really good at...organization." She opens up a drawer and takes out a small black box covered in stickers. It's filled with plastic badges, little yellow diamonds with white borders. She takes one out and puts the box away. "Trainer card."

You hand it to her. She first stamps the back of the card and then pins the badge to the little box on the front. She doesn't hand the card back immediately, taking a second to enter your credentials into the computer systems and then another second to stare at your picture.

"Maybe I should have made copies." You say.

She purses her lips and quickly returns the card. She takes out a checkbook from the drawer and rips out a pre-filled and pre-signed check.

A cool five grand. You're finally on your way.

"So." She says, tapping her fingers on the table. Possibly in an effort to look casual. "When did you come back?"

"Whitney...didn't tell you?" Bless her heart, she's not all bad.

"Tell me what?"

"Nothing."

"Are you really going for the league?"

"Eventually."

"Where are you staying?"

"In the city." Which is not a lie, technically.

She rubs the side of her throat and doesn't say anything for a while. Your sister breaks the silence.

"I like your bracelet!"

"Thanks Rosy. I like your backpack, where'd you get it?"

"Well, there was this store and there was this really nice lady that was wearing a kimono and she was really pretty and--"

"I think we'd better run."You say, taking your sister's hand, squeezing it a little harder than necessary. "Lots to do."

"Oh, sure. Don't let me keep you." As you head for the door, she stands up and makes a noise, something between a squeak and an "um".

"Yeah?"

"Nothing. I was just wondering, if you're not too busy--but I guess you are so--"

"Spit it out."

"Maybe we could hang out sometime. You know, catch up and stuff. It's been a while right?"

You look around the room and then back to her. "Is Frigid Bridget asking me out on a date?"

"Oh my god. I can't believe you just called me that. And no it's not a date. It's two people--three people--getting food. Rosy will be there too."

"Man, you've changed. You used to yell at the other girls for bringing in their guy friends to the gym. Gym bunnies, isn't that what you used to call them? And now you're trying to pick up guys in your office. Tsk, tsk."

"Alright, get out. Out!" She shoves you to the door, smiling all the while.

Once the trip to the pokemon center is over with, you have the rest of the evening to yourself. You decide to spend it in the wild (after a brief celebratory dinner at the food court) trying to catch some more pokemon.

>Head to route 34, it's closest and maybe you can visit the daycare center that's there

>Teaching Growlithe to intensify an Ember to mimic a Flamethrower,
I'm pretty sure that would just be teaching him flamethrower
>infusing his teeth with flames while biting to recreate Fire Fang
That would just be teaching him fire fang

>>3376614
>Go to route 34. It's open to a body of water, and you could use a more diverse team. Even if all you can catch is a Magikarp, that would be more than enough.

EGGQUEST EGGQUEST EGGQUEST EGGQUEST

>Head to route 34, it's closest and maybe you can visit the daycare center that's there
Let's get that eggquest

>>3376649
Fire Fang is a move that is introduced in Gen IV. Meaning it does not currently exist - so yeah, it is basically Fire Fang. But we can't learn it otherwise because it doesn't exist as a move. As for Flamethrower, I suppose. But there's nothing that says we can't hone and train his Ember to increase it's intensity.

>>3376614
>route 34
It has Drowzee right?

>>3376649
That's why we teach him to bite and then use his breath while holding on.

Pidgey, Rattata, Jigglypuff, Abra, Drowsee, Snubbull, Hoothoot, Ditto. All obtainable in wild grass. Tentacool, Tentacruel, Krabby, Magikarp, Stary, Corsola. All obtainable in the nearby body of water. Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill, Spinarak, Hoothoot, Ledyba, Pineco, Exeggcute. All found in the nearby forestation: hiding in the trees. Cleffa, Pichu, Igglybuff, Tyroge, Elekid, Smoochum, Magby. These are available from the 'Odd Egg' that you receive in Crystal. We know we're Gen II but the game we're in, I can only assume is an amalgamation of the three, so chances are good we could receive the egg in question.

I just personally cant wait to see who we get on our team next. A psychic or Bird would be very welcome if you ask me

>>3376814
You're not thinking flashy enough. Why settle for a psychic or a bird, when you can settle for a psychic bird!

>>3376828
yeah Hoothoot into Noctowl would be good ngl.
I think there is something to be said for a Ditto as well. If only for how flexible it is.

>>3376838
Neither Hoothoot nor Noctowl are Psychic type. They can just learn a few psychic attacks. He's talking about Natu which, honestly, if we pick up a water type that isn't Slowpoke is who I'd want.

>>3376828
Mostly because Alakazam is still one of the most powerful non-legendaries in existence at this point. An Arcanine, along with an Alakazam and Nidoking? That team setup is champion material. I'm hoping to catch a Larvitar later too, so we can fill our team with Pseudo-Legendaries. I mean, Noctowl is still good regardless though, we can always have a B-Team available for specific scenarios.

>>3376858
I mean if you are set on a slowpoke we could always get one for Rosie.

>>3376867
>Arcanine
>Nidoking
>Alakazam
>Fearow

Mystery egg here we come

>>3376873
One of these things is not like the others

>>3376614
>>Head to route 34, it's closest and maybe you can visit the daycare center that's there

>>3376883
Yeh Tyranitar is kind of a pussy I agree

>>3376614
>Head to route 34, it's closest and maybe you can visit the daycare center that's there
Also what >>3376650 said

>>3376614
>Head to route 34, it's closest and maybe you can visit the daycare center that's there

>>3376868
Yeah nah. *I* want the Slowpoke. For Luke. I don't want Rosie to have it. Rosie can have a Slowpoke, sure. Why not. But that doesn't satisfy my desire in the slightest. We're not our sister.
