Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Leo looks at Piri Piri, his eyes big, and arms full of peppers. Go ahead, you earned it. Piri Piri grinned, and started to gobble the peppers by the handfull At least its not the berry As Piri is eating, Leo clears off a portion of the counter, and pulls up a stool for his new partner to sit on.
Hey mom, Do you need any help here today?

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
You weave your way through the growing crowd as each new bystander seems just as confused as the last. You are the only person in town walking away from the gym right now.
When you reach Torel Manor, the gate creaks loudly ad you open it. The cobblestone walkway looks just as uninviting as always, but at least your father won't be here this time.
But perhaps the enemy you know might be preferable to the one you don't...

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Randel, pleased by the attention, continues to float around both Zayir and Celeste, the small metronome ticking away from where it rested, strapped around its left magnet. "Thank you for all of these," she said as she accepted the gifts, bowing deeply in response. "I'll definitely come back when I'm ready for a badge."
Her part in the day's show complete, she stepped back, and then through the door leading off-stage. Out of sight of the crowds and the bustle, she sighed, slumping slightly against a wall. It had been far harder than she had expected to get up in front of everybody, but she had done it. She was a trainer, free to go where she wanted, wherever that was. Randel bumped into her, the metronome still ticking faintly, and she smiled as she pet him. "I've done it, so now what? We should go for gym battles since that's what trainers are supposed to do, right?" Her hand ran over the dent left by the Hoothoot's first tackle. "Well, let's get you to a Pokemon Center for now. And, let's see how this works." She walked, carrying Randel snug in one arm, as with the other hand, she pulled out the Pokedex and scanned Randel into it.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Nikolas hugged Orobas tightly to him, eliciting an annoyed squeak from the Abra. "S-sorry Orobas. I've just always been afraid of the place. Don't worry, we're just going back to my room and then we're leaving. There won't be any time for the gho-Nothing. Because nothing will attack us."
He turns this line intro a mantra as he chants it like a buddhist incantation, "Nothingwillattackusnothingwillattackusnothingwill attackus," as he half walks-half scrambles through the empty halls of the manor. If the Abra minds the shaky trip he doesn't say.
Soon enough, the door to his room comes into view.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Leia waves goodbye and calls forth the next challenger. In your hurry to leave, you don't catch a glimpse of his face or his name.
-----
Leia rushes into the Pokemon Center, cradling a small bear pokemon in her arms. She runs straight to the counter, proceeds to jump right over it and yell, "I need a doctor!!" A man in scrubs quickly appears and ushers her into another room. Everyone in the building is thinking the exact same thing: What just happened?

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Pitch's face darkens. Mordecai is still here. Looks like the nurses may have already treated him as well. No way that was going to work.
"I-I was hoping you wouldn't ask that," he says, looking down. "I promise, it was an accident. Can you just heal my Pokemon so I can leave?" he says, continuing to look down, not trusting himself to pull off an appropriate face.Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Piri Piri hops onto the stool, clearly entranced by the plethora of spicy foods. It must seem like paradise to him.
"Why Dear, you've just become a hotshot trainer and your first reaction is to offer to help your mother in the kitchen? I do believe you are the only person on this planet who would make that decision!
But sure, if would be OK delaying your adventures a little while longer, I could always use the help. I'll be fine without your help though if you want to go fight some bad guys!
So did you get that pretty gym leader's number like I told you to?"

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Well I'm not leaving town right away. I could probably get to Xylo with the money I saved up, but I'd rather make some more before I go, and I'd like to catch another pokemon, just so I have some variety on my team.
When she said the bit about "the pretty gym leader" Leo got a little angry. Mom she's not just pretty, she's radient, and full of fire and life and ... Realizing what he was telling his mom the stopped quickly. And I thought you said you would stop meddling. If you're going to be like this I'm going out to train. Piri Piri let's go. Leo walked out of the kitchen without another word, promptly turned around, and went back in. And don't even think about talking to her about me when I'm gone.
With that he left for the pokemon center, leaving his mother, and her cafe's grinning patrons behind him.Last edited by CosmicOccurence; 2012-08-15 at 06:24 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
You catch the tail end of Zayir's exciting introduction of the next challenger before you walk far enough that the noise dies down.
Your Pokedex makes some beeping noises and a few moments later, some information about Magnemites pops up.
SpoilerMagnemite floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This Pokémon becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.
(Info as per PTA 'dex. Figure it's not too crucial, this being your starter and all.)
Randel looks at you happily, metronome faintly ticking.
SpoilerPS Randel got 120 EXP from that battle, I'll also edit the previous post to reflect this. By the way, do you know about the chatpad Arcran made? We're all on it, you should join us!Last edited by HZ514; 2012-08-15 at 07:30 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
A dark shadow flits across the face of your door, but when you look around for what cast it, you see nothing. The same old faulty plumbing noises come from around the house. You think you hear some faint laughter coming from somewhere, but you aren't sure if you imagined it or not. The air is still.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
She gives you a look before it dawns on her. "Oh God. That was you? You...I hope it was an accident, for your sake. Luckily for this little fella here, we don't hold them responsible for stuff like that. We're sworn to do no harm, so I'll heal your Pokemon but then I'm going to have to ask you to leave." She doesn't take the potions away, and she tends to your pokemon in silence. She hands it back to you and looks down, pretending to be busy with some paperwork.
No one else in the center seems to have recognized you.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Nikolas bit back a wailing shriek, wanting to seem brave in front of Orobas. Though, he had a sneaking suspicion that the psychic type knew more about his insecurities than he let on. "T-that wasn't you was it Orobas?"
The small Abra shook its head as if to say no and Nikolas' fears double. Once again sensing his trainer's hesitation it cries out loudly, "Abra abra ab abra!" to whatever it is that's making the noise.
Nikolas wanted to cover the Pokemon's mouth but could not lest he drop the psychic in turn. Instead he settled on lightly reprimanding it, "C'mon Orobas, we need to hurry up and get out of here."
Almost afraid of what might happen if he delay any further, Nikolas grips the door handle and swings it open.Last edited by Bad Situation; 2012-08-15 at 06:40 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Nothing seems to respond to Orobas's little outburst, except the faint laughter from before grows a little bit louder. But it goes away so quickly that you're still not sure it's real. Your door opens without incident. In front of you is your room just as you left it, as far as you can tell. The laughing from before gets louder yet. Now you can't be sure it isn't real.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
"Well, since you just became a trainer and all, I was hoping you could help me out." He lets out a pokemon and holds it up in his hands. "My family's had this Karrablast for as long as I can remember and I always wanted to travel around the world with it, but real life always got in the way. Now I just want it to find it a good home!
Anyway, I heard that Karrablasts evolve when they interact with another pokemon that looks like it has a helmet for a shell. If you could catch one of those and bring it back, I'll let you have whatever by Karrablast evolves into! I just want to see the pair evolve, because that sounds really neat.
Could you do that for me, Leo? If it's not too much trouble."Last edited by HZ514; 2012-08-15 at 07:16 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
(This section takes place the first time Leia steps into the pokemon centre, and thus is while she's trying to rescue her Cubchoo)
"Hi Leia! Thanks again fo-"
She more or less ignored him. She was clearly in a hurry - what was wrong? He watched to the back - after a moment, the Nurse applied the TM and then went to the back herself for a time.
Which did bring Mordecai's attention to details about his arm - he gave a tug, and it came out. Seemed Kamoho was just as curious about Leia's behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(This section takes place afterwards - when Leia had already gone back to her gym, and Pitch was about to leave the Pokemon centre)
'New trainer'? And he /had/ said something about just battling the leader. Hey, maybe that'd been the new trainer Leia had spoken to just before battling him. Granted, he'd been too busy and nervous to really pay attention to his face. Kamoho was sitting relatively calmly for the first time, too.
That particular statement from the nurse, however, was particularly worrisome - what precisely had happened?
Still, it would be rude for him to say absolutely nothing, so he stepped over. "Hello! Sorry I didn't say anything earlier - I was kinda preoccupied. But I see you earned a pokemon - congratulations on your victory!"
He did notice the nurse tense, just slightly, at that statement. Had he /not/ won? Mordecai would feel pretty bad if that was the case.Last edited by Kantolin; 2012-08-15 at 07:14 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Nikolas quickly enters the room, ignoring the laughter for now, and pulls out his memento box from underneath his bed. There were a few pictures inside, as well as a few pieces of scrap that he had experimented with when he was younger. Shoving all of that aside, he digs out a slightly dulled Pokeball. It is identical in make to the other standard issue Pokeballs, save for its dulled color and a holographic thunderbolt sticker he had stuck on it when he was younger. To his joy, the sticker still flashed as he rolled the ball in his hands.
"You're my starter Orobas, but the Pokemon that used to live in this Pokeball was my very first. Something my mom gave me," he said, smiling nostalgically.
Realizing where he was currently kneeling and mot wanting to stick around for much longer, he shrunk the ball down and placed it with the rest of his Pokeballs. He could fix it later. When he was nowhere near the manor.
"I-I'm leaving now ghost. Y-you wouldn't want to eat me anyway. My soul probably isn't very tasty a-anyway."Last edited by Bad Situation; 2012-08-15 at 07:08 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Pitch turns when the other trainer says hi.
"Oh, thanks," he says, unsure how to react. Apparently this trainer didn't know about him killing the Cubchoo, otherwise he wouldn't be congratulating him. Then again, if he didn't know, maybe know would be a good time for a battle? Just a quick one? Pitch could see if Thales' win was a fluke, or if he was really a Pokemon he could come to like.
"Hey, you just beat the leader, right?" he asks. "Would you-" he says, looking over at the nurse. He shouldn't openly ask for a battle here. "Like to go to the ocean or something? See what our new Pokemon can do? Mine had an accident at the Gym and I'd like to make sure he's OK."
Please say yes, please say yes...Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Orobas tilts his head as you tell him about your first pokemon.
Your pleas meet only an increased volume of laughter. This time though, the laughter doesn't stop. It just grows louder and closer until right before your eyes, a ghost appears! It's still too busy laughing to attack quite yet.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
This was bad. He was stuck in a room without anyway of knowing how to beat the ghost. He'd heard of ghost-types before but that really told him nothing important he could use against the Pokemon that had appeared before him. Weren't psychics weak against ghost Pokemon? What if the ghost had a move that could kill Orobas. Remembering how his Magnemite had been torn away from his Nikolas places himself defensively in front of Orobas, trying to make himself as big a target as possible.
Shift to E6 and withdraw Pokedex to scan the Pokemon.
"Stay behind me and attack it while I'm distracting it, Orobas."
SpoilerShift to C6 and use Hidden Power.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
A Karrablast! Those pokemon are fascinating. The pokemon you're thinking of is Shelmet. They only evolve when they interact with one another, but nobody knows why. I'd love to witness it firsthand instead of just read about it. I'm afraid even if I do find one, I won't be back in town for quite a while.
Leo makes his way to the pokemon center, scanning any pokemon he comes across. Hello, I'd like to apply a Sunny Day TM to my Daramuka. And do you have a kitchen here i can use? I'm ready for some food.
SpoilerHome cooking check (1d4+2)[3] portions of spicy food.Last edited by CosmicOccurence; 2012-08-15 at 07:40 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
An accident?
"Hrm. Well, I did want to go catch some more pokemon first... but sure! I'm sure Kamoho wouldn't mind a friendly battle." He glanced at the totodile, who noticed his look and chomped at the air. Ugh.
"But how about we battle just outside the entrance to town, still on the path? It's a lot closer than the docks, and I'm pretty sure there won't be any collateral damage there."
Not to mention, a battle to help Kamoho get more used to not-water locations would help him out. Not every battle will be where he has the advantage of the field.Beginnings usually happen over trifles... even if it's a coincidence...

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Your Pokedex is making some beeping noises as your Abra launches a blast of energy that strikes the wild pokemon. It's laughter is instantly silenced and floats at a much lower level now. Your attempt to shield your Abra from its response works, as the ghost instead floats toward you. It proceeds to extend a long pink tongue and lick you. It's quite...disconcerting.
SpoilerLick!
AC 2 (1d20)[11] (Paralyze on 15-20)
Damage: (1d6+7)[12] (ghost)
Afterward, the wild pokemon is noticeably tired. It's eyes droop and its attempt to laugh comes out as a course cough.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Gale nods and simply asks you to bring a "Shelmet" back if you can.
You manage to scan a couple of pokemon that others are taking for strolls around town. They give you funny looks and scoff when they notice what you're doing, however.
SpoilerScanned: Tangela, Vulpix, Cacnea.
Sure thing, Sir. I will take care of that right away. And there is a basic kitchenette right through there," the nurse says, pointing to a door on your right.
You manage to make a fair bit of spicy food, enough to feed you and Piri Piri and possibly another friend for a day.
An orderly comes to find you and let you know that your Darumaka is good to go.Last edited by HZ514; 2012-08-15 at 07:57 PM.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Nikolas winces from the pain and stumbles back slightly, but not enough to give any ground to the Gastly. Not sure if he could take another hit like that, Nikolas withdraws a ball from his bag and throws it at the Gastly desperately, hoping to at least scare it away.
SpoilerNikolas throws a Pokeball at the Gastly and activates Curve Ball.
Gastly takes 2 damage that cannot be reduced.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
"Alright, town gate it is," Pitch says completely unphased by the change in destination, looking at the nurse who is likely looking at him disapprovingly for fighting so soon after his Pokemon's death. "Mind if we swing by the Pokemart? I could really use some Pokeballs."
Once Mordecai agrees, he swings by the Pokemart to pick up some supplies. At the Pokemart, Pitch buys four Pokeballs and two beers. In addition, he asks the shop owner if he knows a good way to make some quick money around here.
Pitch heads towards the town entrance and, once outside, turns to Mordecai.
"Will this do?" he says, gesturing to a fairly wide open area. He releases Thales next to him.
"You may have the first move."

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
The pokemon disappears into your Pokeball, which falls to the ground and bounces a few times. Then it starts to shudder and whip around on the floor. You can almost see the ghost pokemon trying to break free.
Moments later--you hear a click. The pokemon is caught! Your pokedex beeps, a little late to the party.

Re: PTA: Wuhtu (IC)
Mordecai thanked the nurse on the way out. She seemed to be watching him, but at this point he wasn't completely sure what was up. Either way, he couldn't afford to have his mind wandering like that - this was his second battle, and his first one as an official trainer!
Kamoho was still rubbing his sore neck. The totodile contemplating another bite, but he'd had his fill of Mordecai's arm for the time being. He had not, however, expected Mordecai to return him.
Mordecai waited outside as Arcran bought things, then stepped to the field. He glanced aside - right next to town. "This should be good!"
He then wasn't sure what normal rules were for where you started a match. Summarily, he tossed the pokeball next to himself at G-12. Kamoho glared at him again, but Mordecai pointed. "This will be our first battle as official trainers, Kamoho!"
Which reminded the totodile that the ranger needed a bite for not selecting remoraid. He glanced to the other side, and nodded. "Tot."Beginnings usually happen over trifles... even if it's a coincidence...
