[PTU, IC] big teej presents: Kanto Plus: Aftermath

[InTheMachine]

"I've seen it in a book before. The other pokemon is a klefki," Cassandra says, putting away her pokedex. "It doesn't look like they're going anywhere, so you can try to catch the Pidove, Tyson. I'll wait here."

[PK-Leon]

"Klefki huh? Never heard of it..."

After Cassandra gives her consent, Tyson begins moving slowly towards the Pidove.

"Be back in a sec!" he says, looking over his shoulder.

As Tyson and Kasumi approach the Pidove, Tyson reaches into his bag and pulls out small amount of his rations (a few slices of bread and a piece of fruit if possible). He hands the piece fruit to Kasumi, and begins to tear one of the slices of bread into smaller pieces. "Here. Eat this while you watch." He says to Kasumi.

When they reach a comfortable distance Tyson stops and crouches down.

"Hey! I've got some food for ya!" He tosses out a few pieces of bread a fair distance between himself and the Pidove.

If the Pidove eats the bread and moves closer he'll continue to toss out a few more pieces, gradually closing the gap until the bird stops moving closer. If it moves within arms reach as small birds are known to do he'll attempt to hand feed it.

[big teej]

Party:

Kasumi narrows one of her eyes suspiciously at you, as if questioning your judgement. The frog then takes the fruit and hops down to observe, munching quietly.

The Pidove Squawks and hops away when you call out to it, but it quickly spots the bread crumbs and cautiously hops back over, pecking the offered food off the ground.

slowly, tentatively, with an occasional glance at the frog resting on it’s haunches behind you, the pidove hops closer and closer.

It stops just short of getting within hand-feeding distance, looking at you uncertainly, it’s gaze repeatedly darts to the bread in your outstretched hand.

OOC: Roll Charm.

"C'mon... I ain't gonna eat ya little guy."

Charm Roll: 2 (haha this is my worst roll by far!)

[big teej]

Tyson:

The Pidove is just beginning to lean towards the bread in your hand when you make the comment about eating the tiny pokemon.

The tiny pigeon squawks in fear, tripping over itself in it's haste, it flops along the ground like a goldeen out of water before making it's way back to it's stubby legs and prepares to take off.

you could probably peg it with a pokeball before it takes flight, otherwise Kasumi will have to try and keep it from leaving.

[PK-Leon]

Well that didn't go as planned...

Tyson quickly reaches into a pocket removing an empty pokeball and tosses it at the fleeing Pidove.

Capture Roll (Throw): 12
Capture Roll (Pokeball): 88

"Let's see if this works."

Party:

The pokeball sails through the air, bonking the dove on the nogging and dropping to the ground.

[PK-Leon]

After the pokeball stops moving Tyson walks over and picks it up. He smiles as he looks at Kasumi. "It's a start. Now let's get going." Tyson kneels to pick up the Froakie once more and walks back to Cassandra.

He attaches the Pidove's pokeball to his belt then looks to the young woman. "Your turn?"

[InTheMachine]

"Nice catch," Cassandra says as Tyson returns to the path. "I thought you had it with that bread trick."

She looks back over at the Pokemon on the other side of the road. "I don't want to catch any of these guys, but I do want to get them registered in my pokedex. Feel free to catch them if you want though, Ty."

The oracle instructs her Houndour to stay behind as she starts to walk toward the Klefki and Paras, pokedex out in front of her. She'll stop as soon as they get in range, as long as that's not right on top of them.

[big teej]

Party


You both creep off the route into the forest and approach the gathering of pokemon in the woods. when you close to within 10 meteres, both Pokedexes go off.

PING!

You are now standing just off of Route 1, it is approximately 10 AM.

[InTheMachine]

"Great," Cassandra says as her pokedex goes off. She returns to the path of Route 1. "Let's keep going, unless you wanna catch these guys."

[PK-Leon]

She looks back over at the Pokemon on the other side of the road. "I don't want to catch any of these guys, but I do want to get them registered in my pokedex. Feel free to catch them if you want though, Ty."

Tyson laughs. "I thought so too."

After the two register the Klefki and Paras, Tyson follows Cassandra back onto Route 1.

"I'm ready whenever you are. After you." He bows in jest.

OOC: Ready to continue down Route 1!

[big teej]

Party

After leaving the mushroom pokemon behind, your journey proceeds uneventfully for the next few hours, you see few pokemon, mostely common birds flying by overhead, all out of range of your pokedexes....


Just Past Noon....


A small, bipedal pokemon with large ears and legs darts out into the Route. It's breathing heavily and covered in scrapes and scratches, one large one on it's thigh leaks a vile purple fluid. The pokemon looks up and down the Route before hopping further out onto the road and collapsing.


a Trio of purple, quadrupedal pokemon covered in spikes emerge from the forest. They glance around, but ignore you and approach the collapsed pokemon.

An artist’s rendition of the collapsed pokemon appears on your screen – it is noticabbly less bloody and ragged than the specimen before you.

The Buneary’s information is shunted off the the side by a picture of the spiky purple things.

It is readily noticeable to both you that the Buneary is in some serious trouble, and the Nidoran seem intent on finishing it off. With the absence of any more evolved pokemon going on, this is likely a territorial dispute, or the nidoran are simply cruel.

Taking a closer look at the Nidoran, one of them is noticeably larger than it’s fellows, and many of it’s body thorns are leaking a thick purple liquid.

[PK-Leon]

After watching the sequence of events unfold and piecing things together Tyson quickly moves from surprised to determined.

"I think we should help it..." He gives a quick look to Cassandra.

"Kasumi, you ready?"

[InTheMachine]

"I think we should try to target the big Nidoran first. It looks like the leader. I would also like to catch it, if that's okay with you," Cassandra says with a determined look in her eye.

Initiative for Raum: 7

[PK-Leon]

Tyson nods. "Go for it. We've got your back."

Kasumi's Initiative: 10

[big teej]

Party:

Froakie smirks and leaps from Tyson’s shoulder, excited at the prospect of imminent violence.

Raum trots up next to the blue frog and barks at the Nidoran.

The Buneary pulls itself up to one knee, panting heavily and watching the trainers square off against it’s pursuers.

The Nidoran spread out slightly, kicking up dust off the road and squealing menacingly at the party. …

OOC: Tyson has Initiative.

"Alright Kasumi! Move in close and use Bubble!"

OOC: If Kasumi is close enough she'll use Bubble with the intent of catching as many Nidoran within the Burst 1 as possible.

[big teej]

Kasumi is able to dash into the midst of the Nidoran, catching all three of them in a torrent of acidic bubbles!

All three of the nidoran, even the largest one, are left choking and spitting after the attack.

One of the smaller ones rallies quickly and tries to clamp down on Kasumi with it's over-sized buck tooth, but Kasumi dodges the clumsy lunge with contemtable ease.

The Bunneary eyes the conflict tentatively, coughs twice and then hops closer to Raum and Cassandra.


OOC: Sweet Arceus. That Damage.

also, Cassandra and Raum's actions will resolve mechanically at the same time as this post, even though they will now happen 'after.'

[InTheMachine]

After Cassandra sees how much damage the small blue frog caused, she lobs a pokeball at the largest nidoran.

Hitting the big Nidoran with a pokeball!- 12

Capture Roll-... 97



Raum spits a small fireball at the other Nidoran that didn't try to hit Kasumi.

Raum uses Ember!

The Pokeball sails through the air, followed by a great ball of fire!

The pokeball hits the large nidoran in the shoulder and falls to the ground.

NIDORAN WAS CAUGHT

Spoiler: Nidoran Info, Cassandra Only

Show

Nidoran, Male - Level 5, Brave Nature, Poison Points Ability
SHINY This Nidoran knows Venom Drench as an Egg Move, and also has Poison Touch as a Hidden Ability.
This Pokemon may be altered further as it evolves.

The fireball explodes on the smaller nidoran's face, unable to get out of the way. The impact of the blast throws the pokemon to the ground, it doesn't get back up.


The Bunneary looks relieved, and very sickly.

The remaining nidoran looks mildly freaked out and appears ready to make a break for it.

OOC: Initiative resets, Tyson and Kasumi have Initiative.

"Nice catch!" Tyson looks from Cassandra to the remaining Nidoran. "I'd start running if I were you... Kasumi! Hit'em with bubble if he gets any closer."

OOC: If Kasumi can hold an action she'll do so and only attack the Nidoran if it remains hostile. Otherwise she'll let it flee.

Tyson quickly moves over to the Buneary if he has enough movement and will attempt to use an antidote on it. "Hey, don't run. I'm going to try and help you, okay?"

If the Buneary attempts to run Tyson will drop the antidote and try and catch it with his bare hands.

[big teej]

Party

The Nidoran takes a few hesitant steps backwards, and seeing nobody pursue him, turns and disapears into the brush, leaving his fainted and captured companions behind.


Tyson:

The Buneary flinches away from you, but doesn't run. It squeals pitifully.

OOC: Initative Ends

[InTheMachine]

Cassandra lets out a small, high-pitched squeal when the pokeball clicks, then turns bright red. It wasn't like her to have an outburst like that. But she couldn't deny that her first real battle and capture was exciting.

Once the last nidoran high-tails it, she calls Raum back to her side and goes to collect her new pokemon. She's pretty sure Tyson can handle the injured Buneary, but if he needs her help, she'll assist.

[PK-Leon]

Tyson:

The Buneary flinches away from you, but doesn't run. It squeals pitifully.

"Hold still and drink this. It's going to make you feel better, I promise." Tyson will try to administer the antidote to the Buneary. Afterward he'll inspect the pokemon and attempt to diagnose it's overall condition.

Medicine: 10 (Spent AP to boost roll by 1)

http://orokos.com/roll/439428

As Tyson tends to the Buneary he gestures for Kasumi to come over and join him. He looks back to Cassandra as he plays doctor. "Not bad Cassie! You and Raum looked great! Made it look a lot easier than my catch from earlier." he looses a laugh.

[InTheMachine]

"Kasumi did all the work though. Raum and I just cleaned up," Cassandra replies with a smile.

She walks over to Tyson as he attempts to diagnose the Buneary. "How does it look? The nidoran really seem to have beat up on it."

[big teej]

Cassandra

Raum ignores you and trots over to the pokeball and sniffs at it. He happily follows you back over to Tyson.

Tyson:

The Bunneary struggles against you, but in it's weakened state it can't stop you from force feeding it the antidote. the purple sludge leaking from it's leg hardens almost immediately once the pokemon swallows some of the antidote.

The pokemon seems to have an especially tender spot on it's right shoulder and on it's back over it's kidneys, but is competely covered in scrapes and bruises, in time, it'd likely make a full recovery, if something doesn't finish what the nidoran started in the meantime.

Spoiler: OOC: Tyson's Assessment

Show

The Buneary was Poisoned, has suffered 2 injuries, and has each of it's stats lowered by multiple stages.

Kasumi hops back over and can't hide a smug smirk when it hears Cassandra's compliment.



Party:

You are currently on Route 1, it's about 2 in the afternoon, there is a Fainted Nidoran a half dozen yards away, and a crippled Buneary, quite literally within your grasp.
Raum and Kasumi's stomach's growl loudly. The Pokemon share a glance and then look away.
