Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)

You know, I never thought I would ever empathize with Belkar in that particular scene, but I'm really feeling it now.

The bright side is, part of her disobedience is because she's higher level than the rest of your team. If she leveled up, it would just be harder to close that gap.

Tattersail and Marick share your pain.

[essCee]

The former having it means Mark shares it too

And she'll never let it go, either! Mark will be 60, sitting on his porch watching the grandkids run around with his dogs, and Tattersail will come around demanding poffins and reminding him how he let her ribs get broken that one time when he considers saying no.

I can't believe Team Rocket sailed halfway around the world to grab Matt. That's absolutely the kind of nonsense se they would do.

I also like the out to bring Matt back if Gorman ever reappears.

Lol not quite that far, I’ve been working under the assumption that Helnith is spitting distance from the Orange Archipelago, which is south of Kanto/Johto.

Spoiler: Orange Islands - Spoilered for size

That said, has there ever been an actual map of the entire Pokémon world??? All I’ve found are comparisons with real-world locations.

I also like the out to bring Matt back if Gorman ever reappears.

Thank you, I hope I found a good balance between that and ‘no he’s not coming back’ and ‘no you can’t go rescue him’ in character.

... Please tell me the submarine was a giant, pedal powered Magikarp. Show Rocket tech was so silly and dumb (well, the tech given to Jesse and James, those loveable buffoons,) and I loved it.

That would have been conducive to running into Darrin. “Hey guys, are we out of Helnith waters yet? Put up the periscope, see if you can see any of the Orange Islands yet.” *angry skull-faced Shadow dragon attacks periscope* “AHHHH! Pedal faster! PEDAL FASTER!”


EDIT:
Okay here is how it's going to work: this is Matt's inventory as of when he dropped the game -

Each of you may choose two line items from the list - so for example if you tell me you want the Pokéballs you do get all ten. (Also I hope none of you had your heart set on the Remeyo weed. His Pokémon were taken with him and by extension so was anything they were holding at the time.)

[Gnomes2169]

If I were to claim the incubator, would I get the second mystery egg as well or just the one in it? Because dibs on that incubator and the necessary Time Flute.

Just the one in it.

Noted.

[Gnomes2169]

Just the one in it.

Alas, poor Mystery Egg 2, we hardly knew ye.

[essCee]

Hmm... tough choice! I think I'll go for the 5 Dry Poffins and the Heart Scale.

[Kareeah_Indaga]

Noted! And I switched the labels to character names.

[Lord Ruby34]

I'll take Mystery Egg 2, a Theif SM, the revival herb, and any unclaimed Pokeballs and healing items (everyone else should feel free to pick through them first.).

Ah, see, the problem is that I can't read. (It's been a long day. My apologies.) I'll take the second Mystery Egg and the Great Balls.

[Gnomes2169]

Ah, Mystery Egg 2, we shall know ye well.

No worries, it happens. And noted!

Feathersnow, you're up! What would you like off the list?

[Feathersnow]

The Goggles and the water, I guess

[Kareeah_Indaga]

The Goggles and the water, I guess

Noted!

I'll get Mina's selections down in a bit.

EDIT:

And I'll grab the Sacred Talisman and Chipped Pot for Mina.

[Gnomes2169]

... That chipped pot is going to be important somehow and I dread to discover how.

[Gnomes2169]

Well, I've gone through the work necessary to find all the shirts Mark has worn so that I can say which one he's wearing... Gonna say the Kiss Me I'm Johtan is the one covered in ashes.

Also, something I just thought of, if Kanto/ Johto are supposed to be Japan and the Orange Islands are meant to be the Peloponnesian islands... does that make Helnith the pokemon Australia proxxy?

If it is the original DM never filled me in on that. With the cloaks I figured it was supposed to be medieval/fantasy inspired, though I did purposely set up the plains around Rieva/Ceris/Skybreak to be an African savannah expy, hence the presence of Rhyhorn (rhino), Shinx (lion), Girafarig (giraffe), Twiggin (antelope)...my only regret is that Blitzle is after Gen IV, alas!

[Gnomes2169]

... I'm going to read Ranger Wain with a Crocodile Hunter accent and you cannot stop me.

No one has ever looked in the pot. There could be anything there, even nothing!

[Gnomes2169]

Imagine if we found nothing. By Arceus, that would be the most terrifying thing to find! Pot of the void right there, it doesn't even contain air.

Edit: EVERYONE gets to pamper the doggo with people food. He's gonna get fat.

Right to the special dimension. Zwoop.

Less is gonna have to roll Buck out the door. :p

[Gnomes2169]

I knew we should have brought the wheelbarrow with us when we teleported away from the Shrine of Light.

[Kareeah_Indaga]

Loosing that tag and the flute was a big blow.

I’m still mildly shocked you lot left the former on the table. 🙃

[Lord Ruby34]

What do you mean, after we deshadow the Pokemon from last night, we're done. Never going to need to deshadow a Pokemon ever again, it just won't happen.

(Or maybe I missed the tag. )
