Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1

[MesiDoomstalker]

Further more! Ethan waves his normal finger at the man, not making any attmept to make himself decent. The ruse worked, it will continue working as long as he could make it. When your going to barge in and try to incinerate your quarrel, Arceus Judged you gaurentee you have located his proper abode! Your folly could have caused innocents to fell to your incindairy weaponry, and surely to draw more attention that your brutish method would have wrought originally. If you had barged in on any other couple, they will have surely informed the proper authority post haste.

During this entire speech, Ethan had been slowly wriggling out of his pants completly, just incase he needed full range of movement in his legs.

However, we will forgive you if you allow us to look over that wonderful weapon you have. Ethan gives an innocent smile, trying to look as if his pantsless state was a non-issue for him.

I'm supposing Dex check for getting out of pants. (1d20)[14]
And Cha check to covince him to see his flamethrower (1d20)[11]

[Eshkigal]

"Couple?"
He looks at Ethan oddly, and shakes his head.
"Sorry, don't go that way. But can we look at the flamethrower? Think one would go in my new arm fairly well."

[IrnBruAddict]

'Please don't phrase it like that Arte. It's a vasectomy, not a castration. And yes, I'll get it done. You promised to help me and I'm glad. Thanks.'

He tries out the new kit by patching himself up.

Use Treat Minor Wounds twice

20hp x 2 restored
100 x 2 money speant

HP: 58/60

'Okay, that's a bit better. Let's see if I can complete step 1.'

[Esprit15]

"Treating it like castration is funnier. Makes you squirm." She giggles, then holds his hand and escorts him out of the Center. "Shame I can't communicate telepathically to you. I'd tell you that this is just part of the act right now. Plus fewer people will likely read your mind."

[hustlertwo]

A rematch? Sure. We can do it now, or any other time you want. I'm local, just look up Paul Ticker.

[Arcran]

Gerald levels the gun at head height to the man, ready to shoot when Ollie bumps into him. Recognition dawns as he puts the gun away and curls the sleeve up, revealing metal.
"Made one, and not that. Got the key off some guy in the street, both of us needed a place to build robot arms, figured this would work. Next project was jet boots. Normal pants plus large amounts of heat tend to end poorly, though."
He pauses.
"Why are you here to kill someone, anyway? And why use a flamethrower to kill a single target? Waste of good fuel for larger groups. A shotgun would work better, and be harder to trace back to you."

"Jet boots? I want some!" the man says, sounding like an overgrown kid.

"And why not use Lady on one person?" he says, hoisting up the flamethrower. "More boom is more dead."

"Look at Lady?" the man says in rage, before calming down. "I guess I did interrupt you guys, you know," he says, trailing off. "That new. How you do dude? They have no *****," he says, apparently confused. "OK," he says, hoisting the massive gun up on the table, pulling out a large knife as he does so. "Anyways," he says, looking at your exposed waist, "you need a really big gun to make up for that" he says, gesturing at your crotch.

It truly is a wonder of a machine. The nozzle is expertly crafted to resemble, as Ethan says, the head of a Charizard. The fuel tank is massive, holding gallons of some sort of liquid neither of you can identify. Neither of you want to test it, but between the compression chamber and pump it could probably spray burining liquid all over the place.

"Couple?"
He looks at Ethan oddly, and shakes his head.
"Sorry, don't go that way. But can we look at the flamethrower? Think one would go in my new arm fairly well."

"Flamethrower arm? We need you at Dojo, make cool stuff," he says with a grin. When the two of you are done inspecting the gun, he grows serious, picking it back up.

"So where man you mug? I need to beat him up good," he says with an evil grin. "If you tell me there's money," he says, waving around a stack of bills.

"Treating it like castration is funnier. Makes you squirm." She giggles, then holds his hand and escorts him out of the Center. "Shame I can't communicate telepathically to you. I'd tell you that this is just part of the act right now. Plus fewer people will likely read your mind."

The two of you slowly work your way across the city to the Psychic side, Romeo staggering most of the way. A guard nods at the two of you as you cross the border, apparently not recognizing Artemis.

As soon as you are a little ways inside the Dojo side the ringing in your head lessens. It now is simply a dull throbbing pain, not debilitating.

A rematch? Sure. We can do it now, or any other time you want. I'm local, just look up Paul Ticker.

"Oh, no, the rematch will come later," the kid says, pocketing the cash and at Pidgey. "And I'll win that one," he says with a grin.

[MesiDoomstalker]

After redressing and taking several HD pictures of the flamethrower, he addresses the slow man directly. I think this Romeo of yours is long gone. We saw some scrawny guy running from a bunch of men like your self. He was naked with his clothes in his arms and the men were saying something about wives and girlfriends. The guy dropped his pants and we found the key in them. I wouldn't doubt he's long gone from the Saffron. Probably holed up in some cave or another city. My guess is Pewter or Mt. Moon. I suggest looking outside the city first.

Ethan gives a sly look to Gerald. Hopefully he'll follow along with the ruse.

(1d20)[19]

[hustlertwo]

While we're making requests as part of the deal, here's mine: if you see an uptight psychic chick named Artemis around here asking for a battle, please beat her uppity Rufflet down for me. Especially if you use Hank here to do it.

In any case, see you around.

Paul goes to heal up Willy and the Frillish, and messages his comrades.

Off to center to heal, then ready to go. You jerkbags done groping each other and ready to go do some thieving?

[Esprit15]

Artemis helps Romeo to the Café, though upon seeing that everyone has left, gets annoyed. -Am I early or did we have a rapid change of plans?-

[Eshkigal]

Gerald goes to speak up, before the phone goes off. He checks it quickly.
"One second. Artemis wants to know where we went."
He shoots a quick text back.
-Sounded like you two were busy. Decided to get our gear completed, will be there shortly. Finally have two arms again!
He looks back up after sending it.
"Anyway, Pickup is a very useful ability like that. Pretty sure he was running towards the north."

[Esprit15]

-Well we need to get whoever else is part of the job in their outfit. Where would be good?- She searches for more on Romeo's condition while she waits. Are there any other known cures besides what Copycat suggested?

[IrnBruAddict]

Romeo sends a text to Stacey asking when the meeting is happening. He also mentions that when he shows up he won't look the same but will sound the same. He also asks if the Slugma kids name was Jordan.

[Eshkigal]

Gerald begins talking again before the phone goes off again.
"Hope that helps. I'll probably pop by the Dojo as a Silph researcher occasionally-excuse me, it's our coworker Arte again."
-Fighter Center maybe? Away from N-gate, things may get heated there.

[Esprit15]

"I always was curious how the fighter medics kept pace with the Empaths on the Psychic side." She drags Romeo along, whether he wants to go right now or not.

[IrnBruAddict]

'Bandages. And drugs. And TLC.' Romeo hefts his Firdt Aid kit. 'I bet you'll change your mind next time I have to heal you all up. This is a handy little thing to have, and cheaper than those injectors in the long run.'

[Esprit15]

"In the field, yes. Here I can just pop into the...the Center for free." She stops herself from saying Psychic. Don't draw attention with stuff like that.

He looks at the two of you , apparently confused. "He run?" he says, dissapointed. "I no do hits out of Saffron," he says, his face looking like a sad puppy's. With a sigh he puts the flamethrower back in the duffle bag and slinging it over his shoulder.

"If you see him, you call, OK?" he says as he lumbers away. "Lotsa money if you do."

-Well we need to get whoever else is part of the job in their outfit. Where would be good?- She searches for more on Romeo's condition while she waits. Are there any other known cures besides what Copycat suggested?

As you surf, it seems all that is really needed is extreme closeness to a Psychic for an extended period of time; sex isn't actually required, but since it is a STD that can be fixed by sex, well, that's usually the most common way to get that exposure.

Romeo sends a text to Stacey asking when the meeting is happening. He also mentions that when he shows up he won't look the same but will sound the same. He also asks if the Slugma kids name was Jordan.

Meeting at 12 with kid. Jordan sounds right. Disguise was good idea. Hitman out for you, be careful.

-Stacey

P.S. - You free tonight?

It is currently about 10 AM.

While we're making requests as part of the deal, here's mine: if you see an uptight psychic chick named Artemis around here asking for a battle, please beat her uppity Rufflet down for me. Especially if you use Hank here to do it.

Paul goes to heal up Willy and the Frillish, and messages his comrades.

Off to center to heal, then ready to go. You jerkbags done groping each other and ready to go do some thieving?

The kid excitedly promises to do just that, even going so far as to say he'll kill the bird.

The Center patches up your 'mons for ^400.

[hustlertwo]

Eh, don't kill the bird. I'm not that fond of it but it's more the trainer that's the problem than anything. Just beat her, and be as humiliating as possible to her when you do it.

Paul pays for the healing and hurries to the meeting spot, looking around to see who else has arrived before him.

[Eshkigal]

"Will keep in mind. Take care!"
Once he's out of sight, he shows the texts to Ethan.
"Get your damn pants on already and come on. Why did you do that anyway?"

[Esprit15]

"Good news. You might get to keep everything down there. Seems close contact is all that is needed. We don't actually have to do anything it seems." She breathes a sigh of relief. Could have been fun- NO! EW! Stop thinking like that! He's just some idiot that you're stuck with. Yeah, but just look at- NO! He's a moron! But you have to learn to deal with morons. That doesn't mean screwing with them! Just saying...
She was glad there were no other Psychics around.
She grabs his hand tighter. "Although it might be slower that way." You are such a- I gave him the option. I made an agreement with him before, and I am not a liar. Manipulative, but not a liar. You led him to the conclusion you preferred. True. That's the manipulative part. He wants the same though. He could be a gentleman and turn it down. You saw into his mind; be honest with yourself. That is who you're lying to, after all.
"Not lying, just confused... So anyways, your choice."

[MesiDoomstalker]

To keep up the ruse obviously. And it worked didn't it? Now lets be quick and find the others. Ethan returns Mjolnir and Ollie and leads the way to the meeting spot.

[IrnBruAddict]

'ARTEMIS! You're crushing my hand!'

It didn't help she was three times stronger then the weakling and she was pissed off.

'Ow ow ow ow ow ow!'

[Esprit15]

"Sorry!" She lets go of him. Yet another reason: He's such a wimp! He does other things... Yeah, we know. BESIDES THAT! "So you heard my statement, yes?"

[IrnBruAddict]

He blows on his hand like it's stinging. 'Look, I appreciate what you're doing for me. If you'd rather we not have sex, that's fine. I'm not going to pressure you about it. I know I'd prefer to do it the fun way, but I respect you as a colleague and friend. I can only guess how uncomfortable this is for you. Just so you know, if it was reversed I'd screw you in a second.'

[Esprit15]

And he leaves you the way out. But I gave it to him. You like hi- SHUT UP! "I made an agreement based on what was required to help you. The way I see it, the choice is be attached at the hip all day, every day for a few weeks, or just have to put up with you for a roughly similar amount of evenings, but I'm asleep during much of it. Neither really appeals, so I'm leaving it up to you." You little wh- I'm not listening to you.

[IrnBruAddict]

'Then screw we shall. Thanks Arte, your a good friend.' He gives her a good hug.

He texts Stacey back -Thanks babe. Sorry, can't meet up tonight. Gotta go to the hospital. Maybe later?-

But before he sends it he looks at Arte. 'So I guess I'm not allowed to see other girls while I'm with you? and hey, I have a hitman after me. Been a while. Good thing I picked this up.'

[Esprit15]

She just lets him hug her. "No, I don't really like being a plaything while you're with other girls. Unless you somehow convince someone else (doubtful after the previous attempt) you're stuck with me until you're recovered." Jealous of other girls stealing him away from you? More like catching something from one of them via him. Whatever you have to tell yourself. Whateverr you have to- "Wait, what? What did you do this time!?"

[IrnBruAddict]

'Gotcha! Psychics don't like to share. Well, unless we could get Copycat again, but she'd probably be too busy. Is flirting okay? Cos otherwise I'm severely limited in what I can do. And don't worry, I get death threats all the time. Been a few months since someone sent a hitman. Last time I ended up bedding the guy. He had a thing for knives, slept with them under his pillow. Nice chap though.'

He spots the rest of the group.

'They won't recognise us, should we do something? Have a little fun?'

[Esprit15]

She glares at him when he mentions Psychics. "Girls in general don't like to share. Nothing blatant unless I'm not around." See, he does other things, kind of. "No, because we still have to then go and talk to them. And you have to act like nothing happened." The word nothing is spoken into his head. She pulls him over to the group, acting more like she's dragging him once they are well within sight.

[Arcran]

Ethan, Gerald and Paul all reach the Center about the same time and manage to find a table to sit at.

About ten minutes later two strangers start walking towards you, one basically dragging the other.
