Pokésona Blue Version (OOC)

No change of plan for me. Hyperfocus on the known frustration first!

Rolling in here cause phone is being difficult.

Unless stopped he's liable to bolt over to the tent.

I was about to ask whether you wanted to give me an athletics or acrobatics roll, but Kareeah_Indaga beat me to the punch.

I figured as a police officer Roland’s had previous experience talking to people who are in shock or otherwise just got out of a bad situation, so having him try to talk the new person out of the panic attack was the logical thing to do.

EDIT:

Zero still looks a little tense but his stance softens just a little bit. The tiny fox looks around for a moment before squeaking another "Zor".
What do you want?

I gotta ask, who is this directed at? I know there was a Zorua in the anime that could 'talk' to humans, so I don't want to make assumptions.

[MCerberus]

it was meant to be a snap-back at Excidium.
And I guess I was being super vague about Zero's stance. Should have made it more clear that he'd be okay with Fletcher approaching

[ProgressPaladin]

I wanted to ask about how we could move to the “little guy”

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

It's in the tunnel entrance, which is at the top of a steep slope peppered with rocks from when the tunnel burst open. You can climb the rocks on the West side of the slope, or you can carefully walk up the East side.

It will take about three turns of human movement to get there by walking. A good athletics or acrobatics check can speed up the process. Charles was already described as floating above the fray, so he's already positioned halfway up and could float to the top unimpeded if you so desire.

[Kareeah_Indaga]

FYI my comp died on me and my mobile doesn’t have access to the Discord, so in the interim if you need to reach out to me do it here.

[MCerberus]

Alright, anyone want to try and negotiate/capture the Elgyem because there's a good chance it doesn't make it to the next round with the type matchup of a boosted pursuit

[Harbringer]

I'm kind of interested in grabbing it, yeah.

[ProgressPaladin]

Yes, definitely. (Been outside the country, internet was very low. Sorry.)

[Harbringer]

So I am exceptionally useless if Emrys falls in battle, so Finn's most likely be intercepting any attack coming his way the coming turn. Kareeah, would you mind using Sentinel Stance on Finn to help with the Intercepting?

I don’t mind at all, I’ll try to get a post up shortly.

[MCerberus]

if the Onix doesn't go down and there's no major shift in the battle going to attempt to capture. if bubble lowers speed it maaaaaaay preempt it getting a second attack off

[Kareeah_Indaga]

Sadly I don’t think I rolled high enough for the Speed nerf. 😢

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

I forgot that the status effects were all errata'd! I'll edit the post to this effect, but we are using the new versions, and as such Onix... will have a lot more success burrowing.

The new status ailments from the Feb packet for reference:

Spoiler

Show

Paralysis: A paralyzed user’s Initiative is halved. Make a Save Check that succeeds on 11+ at start of the user’s
turn. On a succesful check the user may act normally, but on a failed check the following effects occur:
- The user can only take a Standard OR Shift Action that round, but not both
- The user is Vulnerable for 1 full round
- The user cannot take attacks of opportunity for 1 full round
Flinch: Upon becoming Flinched, the user lowers their Initiative by 5 for the rest of the Scene and is Vulnerable
for 1 full round. Multiple of instances of Flinch may stack; being switched out removes the Initiative-lowering
effect. (Also yes, you can now Flinch people of a higher Initiative than yourself)
Infatuation: Infatuated users take a -5 penalty on all Damage Rolls that do not include their Crush as a target.
For determining Damage Rolls that do include their Crush as a target, the Infatuated target’s Attack and Special
Attack are halved. The user is cured of Infatuation with a Save Check of 16+ made at end of turn.
Confusion: Confused users cannot take Attacks of Opportunity. If a Confused user makes an Attack (even at-
tacks without rolls), roll 1d2. On 1, after the attack is resolved, the user loses Hit Points equal to half their Attack
Stat if the Move was Physical, half or their Special Attack Stat if the Move was Special, or two Ticks of Hit Poitns
if the Move was a Status Move. The user is cured of Confusion with a Save of 16+ made at end of turn.
Suppression: Suppressed users cannot use Moves with any Frequency other than “At-Will”. Suppression always
lasts 1 full round.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

The tutorial fight against birds, bugs and bats didn't give much XP, but now you have enough for me to really write about. Quite a lot, actually!

Each player gets 60 Pokemon XP.

Trading pokemon amongst yourselves is not meant to be difficult. The "official" method of doing so exists in your camp, but you can trade amongst yourselves before then out-of-character so you can spend XP accordingly.

(Trainer experience will be earned during the days between dark hours.)

[Harbringer]

Since I have the Instruction Edge, I can more efficiently help folk out with Education checks. Someone can add +3 to their Occult or Pokémon, or +4 to their General Education check.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Speaking of trading pokemon, the caught ones can be added to your sheets!

[Harbringer]

I'm keeping the Elgyem, no need to trade around for me.

[ProgressPaladin]

I’d be willing to trade a Pokémon for 2 revive patches. Would anyone accept that? I’d also be willing to give Exidium 10 XP so he could learn water gun.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

I think I still draw the line at trading around starters for the XP.

[MCerberus]

if anyone is interested in the puffball before we get around to 'gently asking questions' they'd be welcome.

[ProgressPaladin]

I am very interested! I’d just give him the XP so he could learn water gun, not trade for him.

[Kareeah_Indaga]

I appreciate the thought but hang on to it. If we get a mission-free Dark Hour, the ‘Training Pokémon’ section says I can add bonus XP based on Roland’s Command Rank, which is Expert so = 10 XP.

If we don’t get a free Dark Hour, I’m sure we’ll get more XP the traditional way soon enough. 😉

Question: on the off chance we do get a chance to train, since Roland has Leadership can I use it to train other party members’ Pokémon?

[MCerberus]

any objections to using the TM immediately?

[Kareeah_Indaga]

None here. If we keep running into Rock Pokémon having another critter that can do super effective damage will be helpful.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Fletcher can see here that Finn is trying very hard to do psychic stuff. Does Fletcher want to try channeling the new pokemon? I can imagine trying to follow his lead or else jump in and show him how it's done.

I was trying to leave Finn to his own devices, and not immediately overshadow his new Pokémon. That being said, if I’m holding this up absolutely!

Because someone asked in Discord, and because Monty at the very least would definitely know, the current phase of the moon in the outside world is Waxing Gibbous - two days away from full.
