Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket

[MesiDoomstalker]

Well I'll use Huntress! Huntress barks excitedly, ready for battle. Rawf sits by Miles' legs watching attentivly.

[Arcran]

"Alright, I choose Flutter!"
"Mole for me!"
A large butterfly and a strange head sticking out of the dirt appear.

[Esprit15]

"Alright Alpha, work as hard as you possibly can in this fight and you'll get a treat tonight." Alpha yips happily and rushes forward.

Ennis jumps up and donw with joy, giggling like a school girl.

'Awesome, a kitty!'

She takes the ball of Eddie, and plants a kiss on his cheek, then goes back to bouncing up and down. A few seconds later, she realises what she's just done and stops dead.

'TELL ANYONE I JUST DID THAT AND I'LL MAKE SURE YOUR BODY IS NEVER FOUND!'

[Esprit15]

"Alpha get in there!" Alpha tackles the butterfly Pokémon.

Before Huntress can go the Diglett dashes across the battle field faster than you thought possible. Huntress takes only a little damage but seems dazed by its speed and doesn’t act. Afterwards Flutter flies over, showering Alpha in a dust that slows her movements. The blast ends just short of the Diglett.

Hits Huntress for 9 damage after Defense and Resist. She is Flinched. Funny Story: Critted, then rolled minimum damage for each roll. You got lucky here.
Alpha is Paralyzed.

[Eshkigal]

...Did she really just-right, mind reader...
Definitely more emotion than he expected, but hey, she has her kitty. Long as she's happy, things are fine.
"Hey, don't worry. Apparently I just have a talent for getting criminals to act like normal people."

Huntress tries to go, but is unable to as she is Flinched. Alpha slams into the Butterfree causing scales to fall from its wings.
“Alright guys, time for-“
“Plan 7!”
Instantly the Diglett scratches Huntress then disappears underground. The Butterfree launches toxic spores at Alpha then floats up into the air.

Hits Huntress for 23 damage after Defense.

[IrnBruAddict]

Ennis looks flustered for a second, trying to collect herself. She had been showing too much of herself today, what with Steven and Sarah, and now this Eddie. She made a mental note to do something nasty soon. She didn't want to start getting soft.

'Eh, yeah. Thanks anyway. You want me to find you something too? Give Que-Bee a few minutes and she can try luring in something else.'

Damian swears when he sees the powder. "Some sort of powder or spore." He swears again he sees Alpha's muscles tense up from it. "Keep it up, Alpha!" Alpha tries to back up and tackle the butterfly again.

"Maybe in a bit. For now, would you like me to even the score with some of my secrets? Tell you what, this one's free. The reason I am alive today is because I got the bookie my parents gave me to as proof they would pay their gambling debts, who then ran off on me, to open up to me just like you. He taught me, gave me a job, gave me direction, gave me a life. Like you want to with your new informants. He let me see sides others didn't, like you did just now. Others have too, and this is the only story I share unless they are literally torn from my brain. So trust me when I say your secret is safe with me. Also, if you wanna talk, let me know."
He's telling the truth, as he speaks in a tone normally associated with talking about the weather.

[IrnBruAddict]

'Okay, okay. I get it. You've had a worse childhood then me. Whatever. And who says I'm helping those kids. They're just as much tools for my rise to power as you are. Do I really strike you as the kinda girl who is good deep down? Think that if you want, but prepare to be dissapointed.'

Ennis returns her pokemon to their balls, and starts telepathically juggling them in mid-air.

'But I admit your useful. I might just have a position as my right hand man open when i make it to the top. You interested?'

[Eshkigal]

"So long as when I get too old for the legwork I get a legal front, sure."
He gives a sarcastic bow, and adds.
"So wanna look for another spot, Boss? Maybe by the waterfront? I have a personal preference for the type, useful for transport. Same with electrics."
Good, no. A bit tired of having to scare people away to keep up appearances all the time, may-dammit, right, mind reading powers...

[IrnBruAddict]

'Glad to have you aboard.' She gives a girlish curtsey, which doesn't suit her.

'Electric types, huh? I think I got one.' She then pulls out a small yellow, white and black egg. 'Yellow means electric, right?'

[Eshkigal]

"Generally, though not always. If it's all yellow, then it tends to be a safe bet."
He pulls out his own egg.
"Now, I don't recognize yours, but I know this is a joltik, mostly because I was told that after receiving it as payment. Electric spider thing, apparently."

“Hey, Potions are cheating!”
“Cheater!”

Alpha tries to go, but is unable to attack due to the earlier spores. The Diglett doesn’t seem to do anything this round.

“Flutter, slow him down too!”

Another cloud of spores appears, similar to the first. Now Huntress is slowed down as well.

Quick Feet brings it to normal due to being +4, canceling the -4 from paralysis, poison brings it up 2 more. Or am I messing up somewhere?

'I kinda wonder what it is. All i know is that it's rare. Think it's also from Unova, like your spider thing. Wait, so you have two spiders now? You haven't got some sorta bug fetish, have you? Cos I ain't trading Que-Bee.'

He gets the sense that Ennis is trying to joke, but isn't very good at it.

As you talk, she starts following Eddie to the waterfront.

'I do have a water type though. I can't use him, but I might try breeding him. You could have him afterwards, if you want.'

She brings out her pokedex, and brings up squirtles entry to show Eddie.

[Eshkigal]

"Heh, no. Que Bee is safely yours."
He smiles and walks with Ennis, Clamps having been put on a shoulder and a bit twitchy. The egg safely back in the bag.
"A squirtle? Good find, Ennis. I'd be glad to take him when you're done.

Miles runs off the field to his right. Huntress, keep moving! We don't know where that mole thing is!

'Good, 'cos in exchange I might need a favour. I plan on picking up some food tonight, after the mission. Rob a food store. For my minions, y'know. I could use a hand. Plus you'll see what I can really do. And trust me, you haven't seen nothing yet.'

[Eshkigal]

He nods. It was for a useful group, after all.
"How many are you feeding? Any idea? Also, any idea which stores around here are fronts?"

[IrnBruAddict]

'We check with the top brass when we finish the job. Don't wanna knock over one of our own stores now, do we? I figure we just grab the cash and as much food as we can carry. It'd be easier if I could convince the other two, they seem good for heavy lifting, if not much else. But two works fine too. And don't worry about lockpicking. I can get us in pretty much anywhere.'

[Eshkigal]

"What about your new force? We could get in, disable alarms and cameras, and feed it all out to them. Or let them in. Although there may be night maintenance staff to handle."

[IrnBruAddict]

'Right now my new force consists of Steven and that spinarak you gave him. That's why I want the food. We feed those kids, we get their loyalty. And I don't want to risk them on a job like this. If there is security, they could get hurt. Me and you can at least look out for ourselves. I might be small, but I can take a punch or two.'

'And if he proves himself, I might even steal some cigarettes for Clamps. I wanna keep all my new troops happy. That sound good, Clamps?'

[Eshkigal]

Clamps snips happily, until Eddie holds up a finger towards him.
"Hey, no. You lost to Sigma. You want them soon, you need to keep winning, pal."
Clamps gives a plaintive squeak.
"Duly noted on the force size. We could also steal any live 'mon for them too-it's where I got Clamps."

The twins bump fists.

Neither Poochyena is able to move through the paralysis.

“End this,” they say in unison.

The Diglett comes up above ground, scratching Huntress and going back under ground. The Butterfree then hits her with the toxic powder, poisoning her.

“We’ll accept-
