[PitP] Pokemon in the Playground IC

[waterpenguin43]

So, here's how it begins:
Every year, people from every city who are at least 10 years old can decide to leave on a journey with their Pokemon or not. If they do, they receive a Badge Case from the Professor of their city and 6 Pokeballs In Couleroi City, where this RP begins, the Professor is a man in a wheelchair with greying hair and a similar beard. He has been stuck in his wheelchair ever since an unfortunate accident in which he mistakenly provoked a Gyarados and he was paralyzed while attempting to fill the Pokedex, which was created by Samuel Oak. There are a group of teenagers chattering excitedly in the square as the professor, known as Professor Cedar, is lifted telekinetically by his Alakazam onto the podium with a list of names.

[DoomITP]

John stands near the podium waiting to hear the names announced.

[Earl of Purple]

Brandon also is here, and he looks around at everybody else with interest. His net is currently resting on his shoulder.

[bvdk99]

Kaley arrives at the square, joining the crowd and waiting for the Professor to make his announcement.

[waterpenguin43]

Brandon also is here, and he looks around at everybody else with interest. His net is currently resting on his shoulder.

In the crowd, he spotss a slight girl with light brown hair and glasses standing next to another cheery-looking girl of similar hight with dark hair and an expensive raincoat. A tall blonde girl is giggling along with a handsome blond boy who appears to be her boyfriend. A short and devious-looking boy stands in a corner, holding a pair of Pokeballs as another boy with an aggressive snarl on his face is slumbed against a building, among many others.

The Professor grabs a microphone and speaks into it slowly yet enthusiastically.
"Welcome, everyone! I trust that all of you have your starter Pokemon?" Cedar says, his friendly gaze sweeping through the young trainers.
"Now, this Instigation is going to be a little different than previous ones. As some of you may know, I have decided to offer the Pokedex to the young trainers of this Instigation, so they may fill it in and learn more about Pokemon across the world, and maybe even add details of their own. While it is certainly not mandatory, I would be very thankful and many occupations involving Pokemon studies will see this as a major advantage. Now, without further ado, I will call you up by your last name. I will give you your Badge Case, 6 Pokeballs and, if you request one, a Pokedex."

(Can everyone who hasn't already done so post their character's last name, please?)

[Viera Champion]

Ahhhh... Oh geez... I forgot my characters first name...
Anyways!

Aricolo is there too!

[Hiro Protagonest]

Ben is away from the main crowd, leaning against a building.

[Earl of Purple]

Brandon Schmidt pats the pokeball his Nincada, Snips, is currently dwelling in. The aggressive boy is watched warily, though the sneaky one with two pokeballs gets a frown. Either one is empty, or he's stolen somebody else's pokemon. He'll glance around, looking for more bug nets and therefore the chance of him finding a new titbit about bug pokemon; the less there are, the less likely somebody will beat him to it.

[ThirdEmperor]

Not everyone here today is a trainer or a tame Pokemon, nope. A Zigzagoon, slightly chubby but by no means out of shape, scampers through the crowd, sniffing at people's legs for the delicious scent of berries. Around the Zigzagoon's mid-section is a cloth harness holding a little pouch, in which he stuffs pebbles, pieces of tinfoil, and other shiny items he finds on the ground. He likes shiny things. Yep.

[DoomITP]

John Dresner walks over to where the girls are standing, his Ralts follows him as he walks.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Riolu is next to Ben, also leaning against the wall.

Zigzagoon may notice the bag Aricolo is carrying that is filled with berries!

[bvdk99]

John Dresner walks over to where the girls are standing, his Ralts follows him as he walks.

Kaley is nearby. She turns towards him. "Hey. Is that your Ralts?" she asks, motioning towards it.

[DoomITP]

John stops walking.

Yeah, that's my Ralts.

The Ralts moves to get a better look at Kaley.

[ThirdEmperor]

Zigzagoon may notice the bag Aricolo is carrying that is filled with berries!

Spotting his favorite trainer, Zigzagoon gets a running start and attempts to leap up onto Aricolo's shoulder. "Zig?"

[bvdk99]

John stops walking.

Yeah, that's my Ralts.

The Ralts moves to get a better look at Kaley.

She waves at it. "I'm Kaley," she says, looking up at John.

[DoomITP]

I'm John.

John says as Ralts stands next to him.

[waterpenguin43]

"Arcana, Aricolo. Please come up to the podium," Cedar says, reading from his list.

[Viera Champion]

Spotting his favorite trainer, Zigzagoon gets a running start and attempts to leap up onto Aricolo's shoulder. "Zig?"

Hi Ziggy!
He holds up an Oran Berry for the Zigzagoon.

Then his name is called. He looks around as he walks up to the podium and notices everyone's pokémon are out. He instantly feels bad that Lady Dana is still in her pokéball. It's a little late now though.
When he reaches the podium, he smiles at the Zigzagoon with the adorable little pouch on his shoulder. He then bows to the Professor respectfully.

When he reaches the podium, he smiles at the Zigzagoon with the adorable little pouch on his shoulder. He then bows to the Professor respectfully.
Professor Cedar hands him a polished silver case.
"Inside are spaces for each of the 8 Badges. After collecting them all, you may challenge the Elite Four and the Champion," he explains.
He then passes him a relatively small bag.
"Inside are six Pokeballs. Use these and any more you find to catch Pokemon, but keep in mind that you can only have six Pokemon with you at once and any extras you catch must be placed in the Pokemon Storage System. Oh, would you like a Pokedex?" he asks, holding up a dark green device with a blank screen.

[ThirdEmperor]

Ziggy happily munches on the berry, balancing on three legs in order to hold it with one paw. When the storage system is mention though, he gives Proffesor Cedar and Aricolo pointed looks. The point being that he has no intention of being stored, ever. Nope.

Aricolo giggles.
Don't worry, the only TGIF I'm storing you is my Pokédex, and that's only your info. Thanks a lot professor.
He says, happily taking the pokédex.

[waterpenguin43]

Aricolo giggles.

He says, happily taking the pokédex.

The Professor thanks him.
"Alisson Baron," he calls.
The girl with an expensive raincoat walks happily onto the podium and he gives her a similar speech, as well as the Badge case and Pokeballs. She leaves with a bubblegum pink Pokedex.

((To save time, everyone just post whether or not they picked up a Pokedex.))

[Hiro Protagonest]

Ben chose to take a pokédex.

[DoomITP]

John chooses to take a Pokedex.

[bvdk99]

Kaley decides to take one as well.

[Mina Kobold]

Lo chooses to take one as well, and is now itching to find new Pokémon to catalogue.

Soon she and Merrie are running about, climping fences to scout and generally-

"There is one!"
"Squirtle!"

the Zigzagoon now known as Ziggy may find a blue-haired young girl and a Squirtle with sunglasses running toward it. They seem friendly enough, if grinning like maniacs can be considered friendly.

[ThirdEmperor]

"Zig!" Ziggy squeaks, leaping off Aricolo's shoulder and dashing through the crowd, weaving between people's legs and leaping over chairs in an attempt to avoid his pursuers. He thinks Lo is trying to catch him, and he's not gonna let that happen. Nope.

Still, Ziggy isn't in the best shape, so Lo and her Squirtle might be able to catch him. He needs to do some training. Yep.

[Mina Kobold]

Most unfortunately for Zig, Lo and Merrie are both in excellent shape and are steadily closing in on him with no exhaustion in sight.

"Hey! Stay here, Zigzag!"

even people and chairs doesn't slow them down, the two delinquents weaving between the former and jumping over the latter.

[ThirdEmperor]

Ack! Only one thing for it. Zigzag/Ziggy leaps onto a chair, turns to face his pursuers, then leaps again, aiming to land atop Lo's shoulder.

[Mina Kobold]

Lo's eyes widen at this but at the last second she reacts, trying to grab the Zigzagoon and pin him down. She's pretty strong for her size, although nothing compared to most pokémons. If she succeeds, she will do the most vile thing imaginable!

"How does this thi-Oh! That's how!"

That is, to try scanning Ziggy with her Pokédex.

[ThirdEmperor]

Zigzag is grabbed! Oh noes! He does the only thing he can think of, and sinks his teeth into Lo's hand, or tries to anyway, not biting hard enough to draw blood but with a definite threat to do so if he isn't released immediately. She better let him go. Yep.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Ben watches the antics of Lo and Ziggy, and shakes his head. He then asks riolu to stand still so he can scan him, and riolu obliges.

[Mina Kobold]

Lo laughs, a sound somehow completely devoid of spite and pity, and tries to roll over and hold up Ziggy.

"Aww, you're a cute one! Thinking Merrie won't kill you if you hurt a hair on me."

Ziggy may notice that the Squirtle has removed it's shades and is staring maliciously at the poor poor Zigzagoon. Assuming it works, Lo will use the distraction to try to scan him again. Should only take a second.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Riolu notices the aura of the squirtle become menacing, and tenses to intervene if it tries to attack the zigzagoon.

[Earl of Purple]

Brandon accepts a pokedex, and quickly scans Snips into it, taking the Nincada out of his ball to do so. At the moment, neither are paying much attention to their surroundings.

[ThirdEmperor]

Ziggy is lifted up. Which is probably going to hurt, a lot, because he's hanging onto her hand by his teeth. Just to prove his point, he bites a little harder, giving Lo a baleful, yet adorable look. Yep.

She probably manages to scan him.

[Mina Kobold]

Lo grins and sits up very suddenly, putting Zig down as nicely as a hyper kid can.

"Aww, you didn't fall for it. I was even going to give you...This!"

She grabs a berry from her pocket and holds it up in front of Ziggy, jumping back up and skipping back a nanosecond later.

"But you tried to bite me, so you'll have to catch me first!"

She sticks out her tongue, Merrie mimicking her with a Squirtle-laughter.

It's probably worth noting that her coat still has sleeves, if that makes a difference.

[ThirdEmperor]

Nooooo! Ziggy runs after the fast escaping berry, doing his best to look absolutely adorable and heartbroken. If he gets close enough, he'll try to leap at Lo and grab onto her leg.

[Mina Kobold]

Lo will run just outside his reach for a bit, teasing Ziggy with the berry, before deciding to finally stop and give it to him. Hopefully being allowed to pet him.

"Here ya go, sillyzagoon. I hope you like sweet, 'cause Merrie would pounce me if she didn't!"

Theblue-haired girl grins at her new little friend, Merrie the Squirtle studying him curiously from her side.

[ThirdEmperor]

Ziggy munches on the berry, very much enjoying being petted. Really, she should have given him the berry in the first place, and he would have happily let her scan him. Yep.

Once he finishes his berry, he turns to look at Merrie. "Zigzag. Zig?*"

*"I'm Zigzagoon, but you can call me Ziggy. Who are you?"

[dangermunk]

Bren runs down form the forest, saying
"Did I miss it? Can I still get a Pokewhatsit?"
He looks a little run down, and his murkrow fles behind him exitedly

(btw, totally out of character, how often do I have to visit a forum)

I'm new here, please don't kill me

[waterpenguin43]

The slight girl from before walks up to Lo and Ben.
"Hello. I noticed that your Pokemon seem to be out, and I was wondering if one of you might want to battle me so I can add your Pokemon to my Pokedex?" she asks quietly.

[Hiro Protagonest]

((Ben's not near Lo, he's about 30 ft. away))

[waterpenguin43]

((Ben's not near Lo, he's about 30 ft. away))

((Oh... Well, since you responded first, she walked up to Ben.))

[ThirdEmperor]

"Zig!?*" Ziggy says, poking the girl's foot.

*I'll fight you, can I have a berry!?

[waterpenguin43]

"Zig!?*" Ziggy says, poking the girl's foot.

*I'll fight you, can I have a berry!?

She looks at him quizically before eagerly taking out her Pokedex and scanning the Zigzagoon.
"Zigzagoon, the Tiny Racoon Pokemon. It is very restless and curious, wandering the land and scavenging for food. It plays dead to fool foes in battle."
She looks fascinated.
"Hm... Is it okay if I catch you?" she asks, knowing that Pokemon can understand human languages.

[ThirdEmperor]

Ziggy does indeed understand what she saying, and doesn't like it one bit, nope. He shakes his head furiously, waving one paw at her in a vaguely threatening, and more than slightly adorable fashion.

[DoomITP]

John is walking around with Ralts following him.

[waterpenguin43]

Ziggy does indeed understand what she saying, and doesn't like it one bit, nope. He shakes his head furiously, waving one paw at her in a vaguely threatening, and more than slightly adorable fashion.
She backs away.
"Um... Okay then, sorry.

(John)
She sees John and goes up to him.
"Um... Would you like to battle? I'd like to fill my Pokedex, see..."

[Hiro Protagonest]

((rewind a bit))

"Why not just scan each others pokémon instead of battling?"

[waterpenguin43]

((rewind a bit))

"Why not just scan each others pokémon instead of battling?"

"Well, I'll need to get stronger if I want to find more Pokemon..." she explains meekly.

[bvdk99]

Kaley draws a pokeball from her bag, clicking the frontal button with her thumb. It snaps open and, after a small flash of red light, her Vulpix stands in front of her. She scans it with her Pokedex, before storing the device in her pocket. She looks around the square at the diverse assortment of Pokemon and trainers around her.

[Hiro Protagonest]

"Well, I'll need to get stronger if I want to find more Pokemon..." she explains meekly.

"Alright then."
He looks down at riolu.
"You ready?"
Riolu nods in response and takes a fighting stance.

(( and for now I deadtime))

[DoomITP]

Sure, I'll battle.

John says as Ralts moves in front of him.

[waterpenguin43]

Sure, I'll battle.

John says as Ralts moves in front of him.

((I'll assume she battles both of them at different times, then.))
"Okay then... Lotad, go!
The girl draws out her Pokeball and presses the central button.
A small blue creature with what appears to be a water lily on it's head now stands before her as she scans the Ralts.
"Alright... Lotad, use Astonish!"
The Lotad lowers itself to the ground and charges at Ralts.

[DoomITP]

Ralts, use confusion before it reaches you!

Ralts begins to release it's psychic energy against Lotad.

[dangermunk]

In the meantime, Bren has run down and quickly grabbed a pokedex and a starter. He throws out his murkrow, scans it, and asks "does anyone want to battle"

In the mean time, Snivy emerges from Bren's pokeball. Murkrow pecks at snivy, snivy dodges, and looks at murkrow disdainfully. Bren scans snivy and calls him back before she attacks.

Bren puts his hand on his belt, where there is another pokeball that is shaking restlessly

Lotad dodges out of the way but in doing so stops charging.

You don't get starters from the professor... Also, you can only have one Pokemon at this point.
Anyways, a tall boy with olive skin says that he'll battle Bren if he wants to.

[dangermunk]

whoops, musta misread the intro. In any case, Bren sends out Murkrow, who hops about exciedly, waiting for an opponent

[bvdk99]

Kaley takes out her map and looks at it, searching around for the nearest city (besides the one she's in now).

[waterpenguin43]

See above. Assuming he accepts, the boy sends out Roggenrola and it stands up proudly.

Kaley takes out her map and looks at it, searching around for the nearest city (besides the one she's in now).

The nearest cities are Brunnaise City to the north and Bleugarde City to the east. To get there she will have to take a rather urban path near the sea, though wild Pokemon are commonplace if she strays slightly off the route. However, to get to Bleugarde City she will have to scale a massive mountain known as Mt. Rhodope, which has a precarious trail and is full of wild Pokemon. Most intimidating of all, it will be extremely difficult to return to Couleuroi City if her Pokemon are wiped out.

She decides she'll start heading towards Brunnaise City. Taking one last look around her, she walks out of the square and towards Route 1. (I'm assuming; inform me if I'm wrong.)

She makes it there unhindered.
The sea breeze rushes into her lungs as the sound of cascading waves fills her ears. She is now on a concrete path and to her left is a very grassy area with many trees and a handful of ponds.

Eh, why not? Kaley says to herself, looking to both sides before crossing the path and walking slowly into the grassy area, breathing in the fresh, sea air.

[waterpenguin43]

Eh, why not? Kaley says to herself, looking to both sides before crossing the path and walking slowly into the grassy area, breathing in the fresh, sea air.

She almost instantly sees a Buneary feasting on a patch of grass. It sees Kaley and bounces up and down before turning to flee.

No nearby bushes have berries on them: It's too early in the season.
The Buneary begins to hop away...

Kaley draws a pokeball from her bag and throws it into the air, and her Vulpix springs out of a beam of red light from within the ball. "Okay Vulpix, use Ember!" she says, pointing at the Buneary.

The Buneary is hit with the flames and bounces madly in pain. When it stops, it angrily faces the Vulpix and leaps with its fist raised to strike.

"Vulpix, dodge it!" Kaley says, drawing an additional pokeball from her bag. If Vulpix successfully dodges the attack, she'll throw the ball at the hopefully off-balance Buneary and attempt to capture it.

Her Vulpix succeeds in dodging it and the Buneary tumbles to the ground. The Pokeball strikes it and it vanishes in a surge of red light. The Pokeball shakes vigorously twice before the Buneary comes flying out of it and hits the Vulpix square in the face with Pound.

Vulpix stumbles back, and Kaley grunts frustratedly. "Vulpix, Ember again!" Flecks of fire shoot from Vulpix's muzzle towards Buneary. Meanwhile, Kaley draws yet another pokeball.

"YES!" Kaley exclaims, running over to the Pokeball and picking it up. "Hm..." she thinks, before clicking the frontal button. With a flash of red light, the battered Buneary pops out. "Er - sorry for beating you up... Here, this might make it better," she says, drawing out (after a brief pause to find one) a potion. She kneels down and sprays it on Buneary's wounds, which start to heal slightly. "So... I guess I better scan you now." She draws out her Pokedex and scans the Buneary. What are its details, WP (Nature, gender, moves, anything else of importance)?

"Buneary, the Rabbit Pokemon. It perks it's ears when it senses danger. These ears roll up and extend to inflict damage on opponents."
((Hasty, female, Defense Curl, Foresight, Pound, Splash))

The Buneary seems a bit more kind towards her after the Potion, but it still seems cold.

[dangermunk]

Murkrow hops about exitedly at the sight of a new pokemon. Bren is wary due to type disadvantage but still calls out "Murkrow, use pursuit. Murkrow swoops down towards Roggenrola, hoping to hit something vulnerable.

Bren then yells to Kaley "Wait up! I want to go with you. We can catch and beat better pokemon together, and we both need more.

Er... Kaley's in a tree-laden location probably not all too close to Bren. She can't really hear or see him at the moment, so..

[Earl of Purple]

Having added the Nincada to his pokedex, Brandon decides to move on, heading towards Brunnaise City since the terrain seems to be closer to bug pokemon's preferences. Snips, the Nincada, is currently following him rather than staying in his pokeball. Brandon is resting his net on his shoulder for the journey.

[waterpenguin43]

Murkrow hops about exitedly at the sight of a new pokemon. Bren is wary due to type disadvantage but still calls out "Murkrow, use pursuit. Murkrow swoops down towards Roggenrola, hoping to hit something vulnerable.

"Roggenrola, Rock Blast!" the boy shouts.
Roggenrola immediately sprays a barrage of stones from it's mouth at the approaching Murkrow.

[dangermunk]

Murkrow is lucky. Only two of the rocks hit, and Murkrow holds on with serious wounds. Murkrow continues to dive at Roggenrola, hoping the ability super luck will lead to a critical hit. Bren tries to scan Roggenrola, but it is too far away. He runs after them, hoping to scan Roggenrola or save Murkrow

(by the way, I didn't know that roggenrola had a mouth. That intendation has never actually been called a mouth, as far as I know. It also doesn't learn rock blast until level 14, which means the pokemon are at least level 11, so Murkrow knows haze. But maybe I'm just trying to be too game-consistent)

((There's a lot of leeway. This particular incident might be a bit of a stretch (7 levels or so.))

Roggenrola is hit and rolls backwards, but it's superior defenses keeps it standing as it leaps at Murkrow headfirst.

[dangermunk]

Bren tries to call back Murkrow, but Roggenrola hits it and it faints. Bren puts Murkrow back, scans Roggenrola, and hurries off towards the pokemon centre. After Murkrow is revived, Bren buys 4 pokeballs, 3 potions, and an antidote. He then runs northward, staying in the grass looking for pokemon

Kaley comes back out onto the main path, her Buneary stowed in its Pokeball. She looks around for anyone else on the Route.

Kaley comes back out onto the main path, her Buneary stowed in its Pokeball. She looks around for anyone else on the Route.

She sees a short boy with dark hair and a mischievious grin on his face holding a Pokeball. He sees her and walks up.
"Want to battle?" he asks in a suspicious manner.

"Uh... Sure, I guess. Two each?" she asks.

He nods and immediately draws a Pokeball.
"Go, Gastly!"
In a flash of red light, what seems to be a deep purple cloud of gas appears before him. However, soon a face with glowing crimson emerges from it.

Kaley thinks for a moment, remembering something her father taught her at a young age. Finally, she draws a Pokeball. "Go, Buneary!"
Buneary pops out of the Pokeball, looking oddly at Gastly. "Okay Buneary, use Foresight!" Kaley says. Buneary's eyes start to glow bright red, and it stares fixatedly at Gastly.

[waterpenguin43]

Kaley thinks for a moment, remembering something her father taught her at a young age. Finally, she draws a Pokeball. "Go, Buneary!"
Buneary pops out of the Pokeball, looking oddly at Gastly. "Okay Buneary, use Foresight!" Kaley says. Buneary's eyes start to glow bright red, and it stares fixatedly at Gastly.

"Gastly, use Hypnosis!" he cackles and waves of energy flow through the air from Gastly to Buneary, likely making Buneary fall asleep.

Er... Well, technically speaking, it has a 60% accuracy rate. I rolled a d100 and got 91, so...

Buneary seems drowsy for a moment, but then seems to shake it off and puts on a determined face. "Buneary, use Pound!" Kaley cries, as Buneary rolls up an ear and jumps towards Gastly. At the last second, it will swiftly unfurl the ear to try and hit Gastly.

"Gastly, use Lick!" he says, now somewhat annoyed. His annoyance grows further when Lick does nothing and Gastly is hit with Buneary's unfurling ear.
Gastly wobbles momentarily and seems to be in great pain before forcing itself into the air again.

"Good job. Use Pound again!" Buneary jumps the short distance between it and Gastly, attacking once again.

EDIT: Oh, and while this happens, Kaley remembers to take out her Pokedex and scan Gastly, if possible.

[waterpenguin43]

"Good job. Use Pound again!" Buneary jumps the short distance between it and Gastly, attacking once again.

"Gastly, Hypnosis!" he yells at it.
It feebly conjures waves which rush towards Buneary as Buneary is just in front of it.
((If it succeeds, Gastly will be hit but then Buneary will fall asleep. I'll roll this time. I rolled 39, so Buneary falls asleep.))
Buneary then hits Gastly and it is knocked to the ground, unconscious.
"Ugh, you useless thing!" he yells at it as he returns it to it's Pokeball.
He draws another one.
"This Pokemon is way better! Go, Scraggy!" the boy exclaims as he unleashes a reptilian creature with tough yellow skin.

"Hm... Okay, Buneary, come back!" she says, drawing Buneary's Pokeball and returning it to the ball. She then draws another one. "Go, Vulpix!" The little red fox pops out of the ball, looking a little wary of Scraggy, but not backing down. "Ember, Vulpix!" Kaley says, as her Pokemon jumps up and shoots a mass of hot flecks of fire at Scraggy.

Buneary curls up in a ball, rolling forward, towards the oncoming Scraggy. "Now, Buneary, jump and use Pound!" As Scraggy gets within inches from Buneary, it jumps up and slams its ears down on Scraggy.

He then walks back to Couleuroi City to have his Pokemon healed without saying a word.

Kaley can see the couple from earlier a fair distance in front of her.

I'll go find that post from earlier, one second...
EDIT: Here it is:

The nearest cities are Brunnaise City to the north and Bleugarde City to the east. To get there she will have to take a rather urban path near the sea, though wild Pokemon are commonplace if she strays slightly off the route. However, to get to Bleugarde City she will have to scale a massive mountain known as Mt. Rhodope, which has a precarious trail and is full of wild Pokemon. Most intimidating of all, it will be extremely difficult to return to Couleuroi City if her Pokemon are wiped out.

Brandon is hit by the Supersonic and falls over, dropping the net and bruising his knee. "Ow." Snips rushes over to prevent the Ledyba from escaping, lashing out with the claw on his right forelimb (Scratch).
Ledyba is cut and falls to the ground in pain.

It hits Murkrow, who goes in for another peck without Bren's permission

Nidoran leaps out of the way and tries to hit him with his horn once more.

Route 1- To Brunnaise City

Brandon scrambles up and throws a pokeball at the ledyba, crossing his fingers afterwards in hope of capturing the Five Star Pokemon. Snips is ready should the ledyba escape the ball.

The ball shakes a few times, but then it beeps and glows red. Ledyba is his.

Route 1- To Brunnaise City

"Yes! Now, what to call you, hmm?" He takes the ledyba out of her ball to scan her with the pokedex and assess her injuries. He'll also see if she has anything unusual about her which might point to a name.

[dangermunk]

It misses Murkrow by a feather, who seems to be in a frenzy, it pecks once more as Bren trien to keep it under control

"It is very timid if it can't be in a swarm of others. It conveys its emotions with scents."

It hits Nidoran and knocks it back. Nidoran spins around and angrily pecks at it again.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Found it.

He decides to head to Brunnaise City, sticking to the road. His riolu walks beside him.

This seems to have been missed.

[waterpenguin43]

This seems to have been missed.

Ah, sorry.

Anyway, is he looking for a battle or does he want to head straight to Brunnaise City?

Also, I thought of a new sort of rule: Pokemon effectively level up once for each Pokemon they successfully defeat, unless they are far stronger than it.

[Hiro Protagonest]

He sticks to the road, but will look around for pokémon.

[Earl of Purple]

Route 1- To Brunnaise City

"How about Dorothy? Do you like Dorothy? You could be Dot for short." He's watching the ledyba, looking for any sign that she doesn't like the name.

I can't remember what I call my ledyba when I get them.

[dangermunk]

Bren manages to restrain it by grabbing its tail, and lobs a pokeball with his other hand

[waterpenguin43]

He sticks to the road, but will look around for pokémon.
He can see the head of a Taillow sticking out from a tree next to him.

It glares at him, but he is likely aware that most newly caught Pokemon are resentful of their trainers.

The Nidoran is sucked into the sphere and the ball shakes only momentarily before glowing red and clicking.

(Kaley)
The next morning in the surprisingly cozy tree fort, Doris gives them various fruit to eat. "Now, I have a chellenge for you all today. There are three of you, and I will use three of my weaker Pokemon. You will have to work together to battle my Pokemon, as they are likely stronger than yours, since you are new trainers. If you succeed, you will each get a present."

Kaley nods. "Well, which of us should go first?" she asks Julia and Luke.

[waterpenguin43]

Kaley nods. "Well, which of us should go first?" she asks Julia and Luke.

"Well, here are the Pokemon that I am using!" Doris says. She spins around once then throws three Pokeballs into the air and a Swadloon, Bellsprout, and Chansey appear.
"You may choose which of you will face which Pokemon."

Kaley scans each of them.
"Well, what are your strongest pokemon?" she asks Julia and Luke. "My Vulpix would be really good against that... uh... Swadloon.

Kaley scans each of them.
"Well, what are your strongest pokemon?" she asks Julia and Luke. "My Vulpix would be really good against that... uh... Swadloon.

"Well, Luke's Machop will be good against Chansey..." Julia reasons.
"So that leaves my Koffing to fight her Bellsprout," Julia says with a tiny hint of dread on her face.
"Now now, don't be upset. If two of you win, all of you get a present. Now, how about we start out with my Swadloon against your Vulpix?" she suggests, turning to Kaley.

"Sure, I guess," Kaley says, taking out a Pokeball from her bag; she throws it in the air and Vulpix pops out. "We're gonna battle, Vulpix! Are you ready?" Her Vulpix nods, facing Doris.

[waterpenguin43]

"Sure, I guess," Kaley says, taking out a Pokeball from her bag; she throws it in the air and Vulpix pops out. "We're gonna battle, Vulpix! Are you ready?" Her Vulpix nods, facing Doris.

"Swadloon, go forth!" Doris says, and her Swadloon sort of hops forward.
"I'll allow you to make the first move," Doris says.

[bvdk99]

"Swadloon, go forth!" Doris says, and her Swadloon sort of hops forward.

"Vulpix, use Ember!" Kaley says, and Vulpix jumps forward, spraying fiery pellets at Swadloon.

[waterpenguin43]

"Vulpix, use Ember!" Kaley says, and Vulpix jumps forward, spraying fiery pellets at Swadloon.

"Swadloon, use Protect, then Grasswhistle!"
Swadloon wraps its leafy arm around itself protectively as the flames bounce off it. It then makes a soothing sound which makes Vulpix drowsy...

"Swadloon, use Protect, then Grasswhistle!"
Swadloon wraps it's leafy arm around itself protectively as the flames bounce off it. It then makes a soothing sound which makes Vulpix drowsy...

Vulpix falls asleep.

[waterpenguin43]

Vulpix falls asleep.

"Razor Leaf, now!" she calls out to Swadloon.
Vulpix is hit with a barrage of sharp leaves.

[bvdk99]

"Razor Leaf, now!" she calls out to Swadloon.
Vulpix is hit with a barrage of sharp leaves.

The leaves don't do very much damage, but Vulpix falls over. It remains asleep, however, as Kaley urges it to wake up.

[waterpenguin43]

The leaves don't do very much damage, but Vulpix falls over. It remains asleep, however, as Kaley urges it to wake up.

"Hit it with Razor Leaf again, Swadloon!"
Leaves as sharp as knives fly from its sides at Vulpix.

[bvdk99]

"Hit it with Razor Leaf again, Swadloon!"
Leaves as sharp as knives fly from its sides at Vulpix.

They do little damage, but Vulpix is woken up. "Great! Vulpix, use Ember!" Vulpix shakes its head, and then jumps up, shooting fiery bullets at Swadloon.

[waterpenguin43]

They do little damage, but Vulpix is woken up. "Great! Vulpix, use Ember!" Vulpix shakes its head, and then jumps up, shooting fiery bullets at Swadloon.
Spoilered, as it is sort of a wall of text:
Swadloon is hit with the flames and falls to the ground, unconscious.
"Swadloon is extremely weak to fire type attacks, as you can tell," Doris explains.
"Would you like to go next?" she asks Julia as Swadloon is returned to its Pokeball.
She shrugs. "Sure."
She sends out her Koffing as Doris' Bellsprout leaps forward.
"Smokescreen!" she commands her Koffing.
Koffing spews a spray of smog and Bellsprout closes his eyes and flails.
"Escape the cloud and use Wrap, Bellsprout!" Doris calls out.
Bellsprout leaps into the air and wraps tightly around Koffing, squeezing tightly.
"Koffing! Try to shake Bellsprout off!" Julia cries out in distress.
Koffing flails about wildly, but Bellsprout just keeps gripping her more tightly.
"Bellsprout, Wrap again!" Doris calls out.
Bellsprout whips its other arm down and squeezes Koffing still more tightly.
"Try to use Smog to get Bellsprout off!" Julia calls out to Koffing.
"A very innovative tactic," Doris says, complimenting her.
Bellsprout seems to struggle in the Smog, but keeps gripping Koffing.
The stress then appears to be too much for Koffing, and it falls to the ground unconscious.
"Koffing, return," Julia says with sadness.
"Don't feel bad, dear. Bellsprout has received quite a bit more training than Koffing has. You are a very skilled battler."
She turns to Luke.
"Now, shall we battle?" she asks him.
He nods and grabs a Pokeball.
"Go, Machop!"
"Chansey, go!" Doris says as Chansey hops forward.
"Machop, use Focus Energy!" Machop closes its eyes and flexes its muscles, tensing itself.
"Chansey, use Metronome!" Doris calls out.
Chansey dances around momentarily, then snow forms around it and flies towards Machop, buffeting it momentarily.
"Machop, use Low Kick!" Luke calls out.
Machop leaps through the snow and kicks Chansey, which then looks deeply in pain and near unconscious.
"Keep going, Chansey! Use Metronome again!"
Chansey manages to pull off another short dance, but it just creates a magical shimmer around it.
"Use Low Kick again, Machop!" he calls out confidently.
His Machop kicks Chansey again and it slumps onto the ground, unconscious.
Doris returns her Chansey to its Pokeball.
"Good job to all of you. Now, I'll go fetch the eggs that you will receive as presents. I don't know how close to hatching they are, however."
Doris then hobbles off and returns with a trio of eggs.
She gives Luke a cerulean egg and Julia a pale green egg before handing Kaley a green egg with a vivid splotch of red on the top.
She then guides them out of the forest to where they were before, stopping occasionally to teach them about plants or Pokemon that they see, before eventually they arrive at Route 1 again.
"Farewell! Good fortunes against Terrance!" she says, waving at them.
Julia and Luke say goodbye to her as well as she waddles back into the woods.

Kaley looks at Julia and Luke. "Well, she was... nice, I guess."

[waterpenguin43]

Kaley looks at Julia and Luke. "Well, she was... nice, I guess."

They both nod, then Julia breaks out joyously and hugs her egg.
"Yay! I have an egg now! Ooh, I wonder what it'll be?" she asks, cuddling it in her arms.
She then gasps.
"Ooh, I felt something move inside of it!" she squeals excitedly.

"I wonder what mine will be..." she says. "Well, I guess we should head towards the city."

[waterpenguin43]

"I wonder what mine will be..." she says. "Well, I guess we should head towards the city."

Luke nods.
"So, other than the Gym, what else do you want to do in Brunnaise City?"

[bvdk99]

Luke nods.
"So, other than the Gym, what else do you want to do in Brunnaise City?"

"Well, I've never been there, so I don't really know yet. Why don't we just see when we get there?" she says happily, starting to walk down the path.

[waterpenguin43]

"Well, I've never been there, so I don't really know yet. Why don't we just see when we get there?" she says happily, starting to walk down the path.

"Are you into contests too, or just battles? I know that I'm going to the fighting arena first," he says with just a hint of cockiness.
"You fight other people as your Pokemon fight."
Julia, who seems to be a bit more wary and less happy-go-lucky all of the sudden, steps in.
"I think we should check out contests first. They sound like a lot of fun."

"Good, there's a place. Someone come with me?" she asks, walking briskly towards the restaurant.

[waterpenguin43]

"Good, there's a place. Someone come with me?" she asks, walking briskly towards the restaurant.

Luke comes with her, and Julia stays behind to take care of the eggs.

Oh, and I forgot to mention something earlier. After Swadloon was KO'd, Kaley's Vulpix glowed bright red and learned Quick Attack.

[bvdk99]

Luke comes with her, and Julia stays behind to take care of the eggs.

Oh, and I forgot to mention something earlier. After Swadloon was KO'd, Kaley's Vulpix glowed bright red and learned Quick Attack.

((Well, normally - in the anime at least - the Pokemon suddenly demonstrates the attack, instead of the trainer just having to somehow know that their Pokemon learned a new move.))

Well, Kaley finds her way to the bathroom, uses it, and then comes out and washes her hands with lots of soap.

((Oh.))
Then Vulpix, after the battle, shows Kaley its new ability by rapidly charging at a tree then smashing into it.

Luke meets her outside.
"Hi," he says.
"Should we go back?"

[Hiro Protagonest]

He can see the head of a Taillow sticking out from a tree next to him.

"Riolu, quick attack," he says.

Riolu bounds forward at a great speed, jumping up at the taillow and using a punch.

[waterpenguin43]

"Riolu, quick attack," he says.

Riolu bounds forward at a great speed, jumping up at the taillow and using a punch.

Taillow is stunned and knocked back, but then retaliates with a Peck.

"Counter."

Riolu takes a defensive stance on a tree limb, ready to retaliate any attacks.

Brandon smiles at the ledyba. "Don't worry, Dot. We'll get to know each other over time. I won't hurt you. Wow, you're pretty, aren't you?" Brandon is fascinated by bug-type pokemon, and that comes through in his voice as he admires her.

The Ledyba seems rather flattered and seems a bit warmer to him.

((He can control Ledyba now.))

((Oh.))
Then Vulpix, after the battle, shows Kaley its new ability by rapidly charging at a tree then smashing into it.

Luke meets her outside.

"Come on; I'm going to Brunnaise City." On the way there, he'll chat to Dot, telling her about his family, his friends and his life in general. It's mainly random talk, but it helps Dot get to know him. Or he thinks it does, anyway. Dot follows diligently.

((What are her moves besides Supersonic?))

He catches sight of Kaley and co.

He goes back to Julia with Kaley. When they arrive, Julia is holding a small, adorable green Pokemon with a large leaf on its head.
"My egg hatched! This is so cool!"
The above only happens if they don't choose to look at a television in the lobby, where a woman in a downy blue down is talking to an interview host. They might recognize her as Ariel of the Elite Four.

[Hiro Protagonest]

((Not necessarily, but I'd say so in this case.))
Taillow is sent flying back and hits the ground, struggling to get up.

Ben throws a pokéball at it.

[waterpenguin43]

Ben throws a pokéball at it.

It shakes multiple times, and it seems like Taillow is his, but then it bursts from the Pokeball, looking worn. However, it seems almost too weak to move.

He throws another pokéball at it.

((do the pokéballs get unusable if they fail like in the game?))

[waterpenguin43]

He throws another pokéball at it.

The above only happens if they don't choose to look at a television in the lobby, where a woman in a downy blue down is talking to an interview host. They might recognize her as Ariel of the Elite Four.

"Wait, Luke," Kaley says, grabbing Luke's wrist. "Look at the TV; I think that's one of the Elite Four."
She watches the TV.

[waterpenguin43]

"Wait, Luke," Kaley says, grabbing Luke's wrist. "Look at the TV; I think that's one of the Elite Four."
She watches the TV.

He was prepared to leave, but he stays behind and pretends to watch as Kaley grabbed his wrist.
This is what happens in the interview:
"... Can we see your Togekiss? I'm sure the audience would love to meet it," the interviewer, a man named Jason Green.
"Of course," Ariel says in a soft voice.
"Togekiss, darling, come on out!" she says, opening a Pokeball and releasing the peculiar Pokemon to receive lots of applause.
"Now, tell me Ariel. How did you get this marvelous Pokemon?"
"Oh, I first had my dear Togekiss as a little Togepi. After my husband vanished while in a piloting accident, I fell into a depression. My Togepi, which simply made me feel happy, helped me through the whole thing.
"That's very touching, Ariel," Jason says, sounding sincere.
"Now, why did you become a member of the Eltie Four?" he asks.
Ariel thinks momentarily, then answers.
"Well, as I was travelling, I caught different Pokemon from all the corners of the world. I think my variety is my strength, despite specializing in one type, as that is custom for Elite Four members.
"Well then, Ariel, I think the audience is simply clamouring for a battle. So, how about it? I'll call out a random member of the audience, and they can battle you!"
"That sounds lovely," Ariel says cheerily.
A drumroll is played as Jason opens a letter with the name of an audience member.
"Kynan Sutall, you are the lucky contestant," Jason says with enthusiasm as the audience cheers and whoops.
A man with black hair and a business suit walks onto the stage, seeming excited to be on camera.
"It's a pleasure to battle you, Kynan," Ariel says politely.
Kynan thanks her.
"Go, Vanillish!" he says, releasing the ice cream cone from its Pokeball.
"Then I'll go with Togekiss," Ariel says.
"Vanillish, Ice Beam!" he calls out to his Pokemon, and it shoots a ray of cold energy.
"Togekiss, dodge it and use Aura Sphere!"
Togekiss swoops out of the way and a blast of round aura shoots from its mouth, hitting Vanilluxe square in the face and knocking it out instantly.
"Wow, that was quite a battle!" Jason says as Kynan returns his Vanillish to its Pokeball.
"Oh, looks like our time is up, Ariel!" Jason proceeds to say.
Ariel thanks him and Kynan and shakes both their hands as the theme song plays and the camera zooms out.

"Oh, well, that's cool. So, should we keep going?" Kaley suggests.

"Yeah, probably," Luke says.
Julia is then jerked back into reality and puts Chikorita into a Pokeball, standing up.

By midday, they arrive at Brunnaise City, where the buildings seem to have a strong foundation and are low to the ground. The reason for this is that they had a massive earthquake thirty years ago, and they are cautious to ensure that less destruction ensues next time there's an earthquake.

[waterpenguin43]

The copies of Ralts disappear and at the same time Ralts is hit with part of the beam of ice.

Ralts, use Confusion again!

Ralts will attempt to use Confusion again, this time aiming it's attack very carefully.

Oops, I didn't notice this earlier.
Lotad is knocked over ans sent skittering away, unconscious.

Route 1- To Brunnaise City

Seeing Kaley and her companions ahead, Brandon smiles and waves his net, hoping to attract their attention. He'd run, but he doesn't want to put Dot in her ball so soon after releasing her and so she gets to know him better and doesn't know if she could keep up.

For Kaley and her freinds, he's an 11-year-old with green eyes and curly blonde hair, wearing jeans, a blue t-shirt, hiking boots and a wide-brimmed straw hat, carrying a bug net. The bug net is currently being waved enthusiastically to catch their attention.

Kaley can't really see him, since she's facing the city, and entering it.
"Where should we go first?"

Julia turns around.
"Hold on, someone is waving at us."
Luke also turns around.

Route 1- Just Outside Brunnaise City

Brandon hurries, carrying Dot in his arms. Snips is back in his ball. He's moving quickly, so he'll be out of breath when he arrives and unable to initiate conversation immediately.

[dangermunk]

Bren checks his map. If there is a while to go till the next city, he'll turn back, heal up, and look for some human contact on the more urbanized area of the route. Otherwise he'll keep going forwards

[Hiro Protagonest]

((It's broken open, so yeah.))
This one successfully captures the Taillow.
((It is female, knows Peck and Growl, and has a Naughty nature.))

Ben just keeps it in there and continues to head to the city. Riolu is still walking next to him.

Julia gives him a quizzical look and Luke just looks at him blankly.

Ben just keeps it in there and continues to head to the city. Riolu is still walking next to him.

Brunnaise City is only about an hour away, but it's getting quite dark. He could stop at a hotel on the way if he chooses to stop.

[dangermunk]

Bren sets off for the hotel with Murkrow looking ahead. Suddenly, Murkrow is startled. There's a person walking ahead, apparently very slowly. Bren decides to wait until he can see the person's face

((Who is this person?))

[dangermunk]

(( trying not to godmod- that's your descision.))

[bvdk99]

Waterpenguin wanted me to tell you guys that he's gone to Lillooet (a small town north of Vancouver). He may be back today; if not, probably tomorrow.

[Mina Kobold]

Route 1 - On way to Brunnaise City

Lo and Merrie are running down the road, scouting out for trees, wild Pokémon or other trainers.

Anyone who sees them may be in for a small surprise as they'll see a young girl in a very oversized avy-officer coat and a Squirtle with some quite fancy shades speeding along the road.

A Pidove hops about nearby.

(Giovanni)
His phone, or whatever he has, rings.

[Mina Kobold]

A Pidove hops about nearby.

Lo and Merrie both come to a screeching halt as they spot the little bird Pokémon and look at each other.

"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Squirtle!"

The kid and turtle tries to sneak closer to the Pidove, Lo holding up her new Pokédex when she gets close enough to it.

-Pidove, the Tiny Pidgeon Pokémon. These Pokémon live in cities. They are accustomed to people. Flocks often gather in parks and plazas-

"Awesome!"

Realising she just gave them away, Lo waves cheerily at the Pidove.

"Hiya!"

The Pidove stares at her quizically.


(( trying not to godmod- that's your descision.))

Closer inspection reveals that it's just a man taking a Pokemon that looks like a finger puppet with eyes on a walk.

[bvdk99]

Julia gives him a quizzical look and Luke just looks at him blankly.

[To Brandon]
"Er - hello..?" Kaley says, a bit confused.

[Earl of Purple]

Route 1- To Brunnaise City

"I can't quite remember why I ran, but hello! My name is Brandon, this is Dot; I've just caught her. Isn't she gorgeous?" Dot is a ledyba which is currently in Brandon's arms.

[Mina Kobold]

The Pidove stares at her quizically.

Lo grins at it and rummage sthrough her coat's pockets. Picking out a berry and offering it to the Pidove.

"Wanna berry?"

Merrie walks up next to them. greeting the Pidove.

"Squirtle!"
