PTA: Heralds of a New Dawn (IC)

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan follows the group to the center, making a beeline for the PCs so he can see if there are any worthwhile offers for either of the Pokemon he's offered for trade.

Costs ^150 for the night, food and showers included.

Tarna looks at her offer finds an offer for an Igglybuff for the Pansear. Aidan finds a Yamask for the Koffing and a... wait that can't be right. An Absol for a Pansear!? Far less surprising, someone took Ennis' offer for 2 Machops in exchange for a Skitty.

Spoiler

Way I do trades, you won't know anything about the mon besides its species till the trade is complete. They will be roughly the same power level unless the roll was horrible. If you trade a level 10, you won't get a level 1, you'll get like an 8 or something.

[IrnBruAddict]

After she was showered and her team healed up, Ennis changes into her only clean clothes, a pair of jeans and a Hello Skitty t-shirt under her last suit jacket, since she was out of shirts. Then she checks the trades, seeing if anyone offered anything good.

'BOOYA, MOTHER MUCKERS!!!' She smacks the accept key, then starts to do a victory dance.

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan smiles, and quickly accepts the offer of the Absol for the Pansear. Looking at the other offer of a Yamask for the Koffing, he decides to wait for a bit, and checks the listings to see if there's anyone simply offering cash for one. As an additional thought, he will check to see if he can find anyone interested in buying a Yamask, as well.

Spoiler

Definitely taking the trade for the Absol. The Yamask, not as interested in - TBH, I would prefer to get money at this point than another Pokemon, but it's up to you. If I don't find anything, though, I'll be taking the Yamask as well.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Confirmation of Trades:

Aidan accepted both offers, receiving ^1,500 for his Koffing, and a level 12, Adamant, Super Luck, Absol with Faint Attack Egg move and +2/+2 Atk/Spd Natural Edge bonus, who is holding a Razor Claw (crit-fishing build, go figure).

Ennis accepted her off, recieving a level 11, Adamant Skitty, with Cute Charm.

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan nods as he swaps Saya out of his current team in favor of Korex, and has his Pokemon(including the still stored Sawk) healed up at the center, along with getting himself patched up. Going to have to see about getting some battles in tomorrow so that I can boost my funds more... he thinks to himself, even as he considers the Sawk and what he's going to do with it. Getting a room at the center as well, Aidan decides to relax for the rest of the night, planning to seek out a trainer or two to battle the next morning.

[IrnBruAddict]

Ennis switches out Guau the Houndour for the new Skitty, and then decides to go to a local bar to get some drinks in and celebrate. And if she so happened to overhear any info while she was out drinking .... actually, better not. All the other guys were being a bunch of girl campers and going to bed early, meaning they'd be getting up early. That wasn't a good thing to wake up to with a hangover.

She went outside and sent out Loba and Calor. After this, she'd go to sleep, but she did promise Loba help with her fighting. Better get this over with.

'Yo, Greedy. You want some extra food tonight? If you can beat my girl Loba here, I'll give you another 2 days rations. Unless you're too scared to...'

[al'Lan Mandrag]

Tarna takes a gamble, accepting the trade for the Igglybuff, wondering eactly how well the large fluffy pokemon would fit into her team.

level 5 Igglybuff
(1d4)[1] 1 is male
(1d3)[2]
(1d35)[4]
I'd like to point out Igglybuff is the lower evolved form. Baby specifically.

Everyone wakes up around 7 am (except Donny, who thanks to his forced power nap, wakes up around 5) to find the town empty, except a few stragglers coming home from the game corner less than sober.

[MintyNinja]

Donny wakes easily at 5 AM and immediately brings his pokemon down to the main floor of the center to heal Echo. While she's getting patched up, he decides to take his own health into account and seek medical attention.

(I'll pay what I need to get to Full Health for Donny and Echo)

Once that's done, Donny sets out about the empty streets, enjoying it's beauty in the predawn light and keeping an eye open for wild pokemon.

Wilds (1d100)[24]

[MesiDoomstalker]

Walking through the empty streets you here the sounds of something rummaging through garbage. Looking down an alley, you spot a small yellow biped head-first into a garbage can. It hasn't noticed you yet.

[MintyNinja]

Donny quickly scans the yellow pokemon, but instead of sending something out to fight it he decided to throw his Quick Ball first. I gotta catch something, or else I'll just be a hindrance to the others again.

Spoiler

Quick Ball: (1d100-20)[16]

[MesiDoomstalker]

The ball absorbs the pokemon, shaking two times before pinging, indicating success.

Spoiler

Show

Male, level 15 Elekid. Adamant, Ice Punch Tutor and Rolling Kick egg moves.

[MintyNinja]

Donny blinks in surprise as the yellow pokemon disappears into the ball. He doesn't move for a full thirty seconds, until he's startled by his Pokedex identifying the Elekid. "What in the void is the big deal about capturing pokemon? Just throw the ball and they go in!" He walks over and picks up the pokeball containing his newest ally. I'll get a name for you soon enough. Donny continues to walk through out the sleeping city, meandering about until he finds the gym. He is in no hurry.

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan wakes up, and after his normal morning routine, makes his way to the gym to try and find a battle. Seeing Donny approaching the building as he nears it, Aidan makes his way over to his ally, and says, "Hey. I see we both had the same idea... see about getting a battle or two in, eh? If you like, we could always pair up and pool our resources here..."

[MintyNinja]

"Morning, Aidan. Yeah, I think a Double Battle would be a good idea. Arachnia needs some training and Masque deserves an easy fight. Lead on," Donny says as he gestures to the Gym door. It would be good if he could battle well, Aidan has only seen him scrap briefly with a gligar and get knocked unconscious by a bidoof swarm.

[BluesEclipse]

Nodding, Aidan leads the other man into the gym, inquiring with the first person he can corner there about finding a double battle for himself and his friend.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Going inside, you see exactly two people, one young looking boy maybe 20 dozing against a wall and another dude with rocking Mohawk and punk rock outfit. The punk grins mischievly, swings his electric guitar from his back and strikes a cord, the note ringing through the speakers of the gym, waking up the young boy. "John, we got challengers. Wake up!" "Alright alright!" They motion you towards the nearest open arena, and after agreeing to the terms, they release their pokemon.

The Punk releases what looks like an Eel, while the kid releases a pink sheep.

[MintyNinja]

"Alright," Donny says after agreeing to terms. "Masque, let's wake up with a battle. Your favorite, electrics." The Cubone looks confused at the lack of mental connection, but shrugs and steps into the open area.

Spoiler

Masque: HP: 43/43, Def 12, SDef 10, Spd 4

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan watches the two opponents as they release their Pokemon, and says, "Alright... given that they're using Electric types, the likely option for them is to play a ranged game... Elly, hurry up and close in on the sheep, and distract it!" Elly darts forward, flicking her tail around to try and divert the pink Pokemon's attention. He takes a moment to scan the Pokemon opposite him as well.

Elly moves to K5 and uses Tail Whip on Fl.

The sheep aawwwwwws at the cute little fox. "Fluffs! Shock it!" A blue bolt flies from the sheep towards Elly, before veering and hitting Masque's club. "AW MUK! Screw you and your lightning rod!"

Cheater! +1 to your Satk for no reason.

[MintyNinja]

"It's a legitimate strategy. And besides, you should be used to ground types in here. Masque, close the distance, stare down that eel," Donny commands as he scans the small eel. The Cubone runs forward, staring into it's eyes all the while.

Masque: HP: 43/43, Def 12, SDef 10, Spd 4

[MesiDoomstalker]

The Eel shivers "Wiggle, slam into it!" The Eel charges forward but Masque ducks out of the way avoiding the blow.

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan watches briefly as the electric eel - Fitting, I suppose... - misses Masque, and calls out, "Show them how it's done, Elly - tackle that sheep!" Rushing forward, the Eevee launches herself at the pink, fluffy Pokemon with a cry.

Spoiler

Elly uses Tackle! It's... effective enough, I suppose...

Tackle v Fl - AC: (1d20)[12] v 3 + Phys Evasion, (2d8+17)[21] Normal Phys Damage plus (2d8+6)[17] on Crit.

[MesiDoomstalker]

The attack connects, but Elly is knocked back by a burst of electricity, paralyzing her. "Static. Its a legitimate strategy. " The Flaffy dashes at the Cubone, smacking into it for 8 damage.

[MintyNinja]

"Hmm, I hope this isn't overboard. Masque, hit the sheep with your club," Donny calls out. He scans the sheep, not sure if it will be around next round. He really doesn't want to kill the thing, but it's an electric gym, they must be ready for ground attacks. The Cubone holds no such qualms and spins in place, bringing his club down on the sheep with surprising speed.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Masque club goes wide, spinning him in a small circle. "Heh, smooth kid. Wiggle!" The Tynamo dashes forward, striking Masque in the back for 14 damage.

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan raises an eyebrow at the comment from the fluffy Pokemon's trainer and says, "You don't hear me complaining - Elly's more than capable of handling what your fluffy bug-zapper can dish out. Now, Tackle him again!" The Eevee turns and charges at the Flaffy, launching herself at the creature's unguarded back.

Elly moves to K5 and uses Tackle.

[MesiDoomstalker]

The Flaafy stumbles back from the attack, but turns around and smacks into Masque knocking him backwards for 15 damage.

[MintyNinja]

"Hold on, Masque. Just a little longer. Burn the sheep before he can attack again!" The Cubone follows the command with a sick desperation. He hadn't been doing so well with battles and this was supposed to be an easy one. He leans back for a second and brings his flaming fist down quickly on the sheep before running off to the side.
