It's now 5:00 PM and you have no obligations.

"I guess this little girl needs some patching. I will just go to the Pokecenter for some treatment." Chuck gives Firemane a berry. "Have a treat, my friend." Then he walks to the Pokecenter.

It's quite a walk but eventually you and Firemane reach the North Park. Ahead of you the mall towers 50 storeys into the sky. It's lit up so bright that you can't seem to look directly at it from so close.

Inside the mall you're greeted with a smile and breeze of recycled air. There's a pleasant, orange flavored smell to it. A large sign indicates that this is the Directory and Returns floor. You can see walls of elevators and stairwells leading up to the other floors. A particular set of red elevators seemed to be direct to the Pokecenter and back.

You take one of these elevators and soon find yourself in a red and white decorated place. There is an open spot at the counter and the Chansey hands you a tray with indentations meant for pokeballs. But seeing that Firemane isn't to be kept in a pokeball the Chansey scowls at you and presses a button on the counter. A panel opens up and she beckons the Ponyta in through a door. She points you at a sign that signifies it'll be a 15 minute wait.

It's now 6:30 PM and you're feeling hungry. What will you do now?

[Leahn Novash]

Chuck feels hungry, but he decides that the hunger can wait 15 minutes until Firemane is all patched up.

Soon enough Firemane is lead through the door again and you can tell she's feeling better.

It's 6:45 PM. You're still hungry. You have no obligations to be anywhere.

[Leahn Novash]

Chuck decides to walk around the city, and see if he can find any cheap place to sleep.

You and Firemane walk west, through the Boardwalk Market and the crowds inherently there and reach Beach Street. To your left is a pristine beach lit up with lights and a few determined people sitting on towels. On your right is a series of hotels, each offering the same price for one person: ^750 a night. This includes dinner and breakfast, which reminds you that you're starving.

It's now 7:25 PM you are very hungry.

Dave:

The guard accepts your money and leads you through a well lit tunnel and down a pathway leading north. Soon you take a turn to the right and a large lot of land has been sectioned off for campers and tents of all kinds. He leads you to an empty lot and bids you goodnight from there. After the guard leaves, while you're setting up your tent, you hear a rustling in the bushes. After a minute a small brown and green-spotted mushroom comes out of hiding.

"oh hello there little guy" dave starts scanning the pokemon "do you want to come closer? I have food" dave sets down his lit flash light in the mushrooms direction so he can still see it and reaches into his bag for a herb ration.

The mushroom doesn't seem to trust you and makes no move towards the food. While you wait for it to act, your pokedex function beeps and informs you you're looking at a Shroomish. Along with it's listed information, it explains that it doesn't eat plants and instead absorbs sunlight.

It's 8:50 PM right now. (Miscalculation earlier means you reached the guard station at 8:30 instead of 8:00.)

[passinglurker]

"oh you don't eat this stuff huh? well me neither, but how about this" dave adjusts the focus and brightness on his flashlight to make it more concentrated and shines it towards the shroomish(with out blinding the little guy of course) "do you like it? If you do it will work better if your closer to it" dave tries to egg the shroomish closer and gain its trust

The Shroomish waddles a little closer to the light, stopping just within your reach (D5). Are you going to try to capture it or are you just giving it a free meal?

OOC: only have one ball and its at full health if this is going to work it will have to come willingly

"want to come with me little guy? I can help keep you safe from what every big scary mon there is out in the forest" dave sets a poke ball on the ground next to the shroomish and lets it choose

Spoiler

so whats needed here a capture roll or another cha check?

[MintyNinja]

Dave:
The Shroomish doesn't seem to understand what you're talking about, but that doesn't stop it from walking right into your ball.

Spoiler

OOC: Roll a 1d100, I'll modify the capture rate to reflect the attempt at allying with it. If this is your last ball you can buy more at the Mall the next day.

dave crosses his fingers for good luck as the shroomish approaches the ball

Dave:
The ball absorbs the Shroomish and shakes wildly for a full 10 seconds. At the last moment it almost seems to break, but a click signifies a catch.

Spoiler

Shroomish Level 5, Female, Stark Nature, Overgrow ability. And it's 5 HP short of full health.

It's 8:55 PM.

[passinglurker]

"welcome to the family" says dave as he picks up the ball "now what to name you? little guy and spot are both boys names. what is a good name for a girl shroom? hmmm... peach will do, any way time for bed" dave rolls out his sleeping bag sets his p-gear alarm for 8 hours, closes his eyes, and finally drifts off to sleep. 8:55? 9:00?

[MintyNinja]

Dave:
You will wake up around 5:00 AM. Until then, we'll have to wait for the others to finish up their days.

[Leahn Novash]

Chuck decides that it is better to meet his needs. He goes to the first hotel he sees with a room available, and turns in for the night.

[MintyNinja]

Chuck:
You pay up and are lead to a decent room on the second floor. The hotel staff is a little skittish around Firemane, but no one approaches you about it. A meal is brought up after you order and it finally satisfies that hunger. By the time you turn in for the night, it's 8:00 PM and Firemane is curled up on the floor, her flames dim.

[DemoniaKitty]

Mika decides to take the guard's advice and heads to the Gym. Keahi walked beside her seeming very proud of himself. Mika smiles patting him on the head.

[MintyNinja]

Mika:
You and Keahi go through the mall and north through the park. As you follow the guard's directions you eventually find the Gym nestled between a large Arena and the local Trainer's Academy. Most of the streetlights here are dimmer, giving the Gym a shadowy appearance. Once inside you see two trainers talking behind a desk. The girl looks up at you and asks "Are you here to challenge the gym? Or were you looking to join up?"

[DemoniaKitty]

"I'd like to join." Mika replies having had an interest in dark pokemon since she was young, since it's the one type of pokemon her mother doesn't breed.

[MintyNinja]

Mika:
"Well look at our luck," she says to her friend. She turns back to you and says, "Well I can't battle you, some guy knocked the hell out of my Purrloin, but Fred here can initiate you." The other trainer nods in acknowledgment and leads you into another room. "One on One battle, no items that aren't already held, no trainer interference." After he states the rules he releases a small grey dog at the other end of the ring.

"Keahi, go use smoke screen" Keahi moves to G6 and makes a smoke screen in a straight line from F4 to F8.

[MintyNinja]

Mika:
Keahi's smokescreen forms a thick wall between the two combatants but that doesn't stop the small grey dog from throwing in a decent tackle. He hits the Cyndaquil through the smoke for 15 Damage after defenses. But Keahi's Flame Body caused the opponent to be burned, and it lost 2 HP.

Mika:
Your Cyndaquil steps back and throws itself at the burned grey dog dealing a hefty amount of damage. But the opponent was not out yet and it released an ear shattering howl that causes shivers to race down your spine. It's burn still seems to affect it, but with the smoke hanging in the air, it seemed very aggressive.

Mika:
Keahi's attack strikes true through smoke and the grey dog collapses under the pain. Your Pokedex beeps with information on the Poochyena you just beat as Fred recalls him. "Close fight. Not many would keep their pokemon fighting after taking that much damage." He leads you into another room that had around five trainers busy training their pokemon. You are able to scan Vullaby, Murkrow, Houndour and Sandile before Fred offers you a pokeball. "All gym trainers need one Dark type pokemon to properly represent the gym. Our in house breeder is on a dog kick lately so we have a bit of a surplus here. This Houndour should complement your Cyndaquil quite well. Our breeder bolstered it's defensive capabilities a bit and made up for it's Modest nature."

Houndour Level 5, Female, Modest Nature (+Sp. Atk, -Atk), Early Bird Ability, Natural Edge +2 Def and +2 Atk.
