Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
"I apologize, but I prefer my mind to remain my own, not that of spirits. I assure you I can still remain quite useful." She moves to bow, then remembering Ethan's scolding, stops herself. Different culture here, it seems. "Well, we should be off to plan." Artemis gives a nod to the woman, the only way she can think to show respect. Oh, and Romeo. Your girlfriend (the psychic one, not the martial artist) wanted you to follow us to the Gym. Best you follow lest I let slip some stray thought about what I overheard your thinking, hm? Artemis walks out the door and takes the elevator down. She walks outside.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
"Understood. I would like to note that while I am still able and willing to do the jobs you sought me for, I am currently looking to cut back on previous...quantities of such jobs and express more distinct interest in capture and R&D in the future and the chance to develop social skills not related to that."
He considers the mission.
"You know enough about the trainer to consider this an easy mission. Do you have a dossier on pokemon he would likely trade for, or his friend would likely go for?"Last edited by Eshkigal; 2012-04-22 at 06:58 PM.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
You soon find your way outside only to be ambushed by Jessica and Taylor. "So, you joined in?" they ask after a quick mind reading. "Welcome to the family!" they say, obviously pleased.
"Trade for the Slugma? Unlikely. This was one of our more successful expirements. Not only is it hardier than most, at a small cost to its speed, but it burns hotter than any other Slugma. Simply being in close proximity could cause a burn or worse. You would need an exceptional Pokemon for it."Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
That is disconcering but not hopeless. We must find a more creative solution to this situation then it seems. Seeing Artemis run off, he runs after her. Lets not try to split up till we have a course of action shall we? Motioning for the others to follow him and catch the stray psychic.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
"Well not officially. We still have our sort of recruitment job. We do well, we're in. If not...well, we'll just have to do well." She trips over the 'we'll's and wells a bit. "How am I not surprised that you guys are a part of it." She laughs. She might actually make friends for a change! She directs her thoughts at Taylor. By the way, I told Romeo that your friend wanted him to come with us to the Gym. Also, he's already cheating on her. Does that thing throw rocks heavier than five pounds, by any chance?

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Bigger? No, five is as big as we could get with them still being hidden. But I have a supersized version of that snake. We could have it squeeze him a bit, she says, grinning maliciously.
"Your starter mission? That's new. We didn't have to-"
"That's because we killed the Rockets somebody hired to kill us Taylor," Jessica says in a tired tone.
"Oh, that's right," she says, somewhat sheepishly. "We dropped a bookcase on them. But stay loyal to them. The rewards can be really good if you play your cards right," she says, twisting her bracelet as she says so.Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

Romeo saunters after Jessica. I mean Artemis. Totally concentrating on the mission, not on getting tail.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Paul nods solmenly.
Yeah, I've already done some pretty lousy things in the name of broads, booze, and poison. What's a few more between friends?
He looks at the assembled trainers that are to be his de facto teammates.
And since we need to train up to take on someone with such powerful creatures, would y'all like to have an exhibition in front of the Poke Mart nearby? Owner wants me to have some fights out there to drum up business. I'll even chip in ^100 apiece for your time.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Jessica looks happy to see you, but is cut off by Taylor before she can say anything.
"Romeo! How are you?" she says, seeming to be very nice. "Look, us at the Saffron Gym have a rule about who we can date. You have to pass a test if you want to be with Jessica, alright?" she says, looking at you with eyes that seem slighlty angry. Jessica seems to be about to speak up, but she is silenced with a look.
"How about you head to the Gym with us and we'll see if you can pass it," she says.Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
"Could be worthwhile. Could challenge the trainer."
He tucks the notes and blueprints away, then follows afterwards, vaguely considering getting Paul to bathe at gunpoint. Once out, he hears about the test.
"Test? Do you have to take it for access to facilities, too?"

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
'Well, we are sort of in the middle of a job. How about tommorow? I don't want to leave the guys without my knowledge.' He strikes a manly pose at Jessica. 'It wont be long my dear. Just one day and me and you will be the hottest couple in the whole of this Team Rocket.' He grabs her hand and kisses it.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Ethan runs after the pretty boy and the psychic. He spots them, along with two new girls he did not recognize. He runs over to them, interrupting a seemingly tense conversation. May I have your numbers Artemis and Romeo? We should stay in contact just in case. Ethan also scans the girl's Espeon.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
"Yeah, good point." She gives him her number and tells him to pass it on if the others don't keep up. She turns back to Romeo. "We could meet up with the others within the hour. It only took me about ten minutes or so, thirty with walking around the gym. Are you saying you could wait to...hang out...with this beautiful girl right here?" They're both Rockets, she could follow along if you wanted her to. Artemis might not have a way with words, but she does with logic. To Ethan: Unless you're a Psychic, you likely won't pass. If you want to be pelted with rocks and then attacked, go for it. Just don't tell Romeo.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
If I need to for their help though, I won't really have a choice. Although...maybe Sparky could help. She's full of tricks like that.
Gerald puts his tools down and lifts his phone up.
"I'll take them too. Oh, um...pokemon. What do you all prefer?"
He gives each of them his number, and when done pulls out his 'dex to scan the pokemon.Last edited by Eshkigal; 2012-04-22 at 07:48 PM.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
'Why do I need to pass this test? Going behind the psychics backs could be a little naughty.' He wiggles his eyebrows. 'Since you obviously don't think I can pass this test, or else you would offer me no chance of seeing Jessica if you could help it, how about a bet? Are you up for that you two?'

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Paul addresses the one asking about Pokemon.
Well, I prefer as many of them as I can get. Got a collection to rebuild.
Paul exchanges numbers and pleasantries with his new comrades, scans their creatures into the 'dax, then heads off with Buck and his new acquisition Hank in tow.
Well, we have a paying gig...of sorts...tomorrow. Figure we have three days to track down the brat, so we can use the rest of today to do a little hunting for new Pokemon, fight tomorrow early on, then get with the Junior League recruits here and work out how to slug the Slugma owner.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
You aquire an Espeon in your Pokedex as well as the other recruit's Pokemon that are out.
She giggles in a way that you wouldn't expect coming from her. "I'm looking forward to it."
"What kind of bet are we talking about here?" Taylor says, eyeing you cautiously.

'Since it's impossible for me, it's only fair I get something good. I lose, I'll never see Jessica again, my word as a gentleman. If I win however, either you two' he points to Taylor and Artemis 'have to kiss each other while topless, or both of you have to kiss my new friend Paul Ticker. Yes, it's infair, but the odds are surely in your favour.'
Romeo puts his arm around Jessica and laughs. 'I'd say that was fair, wouldn't you?

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
After searching for nearly half an hour, you see a yellow cocoon nestled in a tree, attached by strands of silk. It doesn't move at all, but is obviously a Pokemon.
"Tops stay on," Taylor says, looking at you in disgust. "Tell us the bet, then I'll consider."
Jessica seems worried about it, mostly because it seems she is afraid you'll lose.
Your answer doesn't come through words, but through your mind.
What kind of therapy? It'll vary depending on who you pay for, but maybe ^800 a session? Maybe a bit more?Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

"Alright," Taylor says with an evil grin. Jessica seems pretty much terrified that she will lose you.
Soon enough you find yourself at the Saffron Gym, in a completely white room.
This is a test to guage your Psychic talent. Pokemon are strictly prohibited. Test will begin in 3, 2, 1, *BZZZT*

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Paul examines the cocoon, and scans it, though as a Kanto trainer he's quite familiar with Kakuna.
Well, I suppose it's a good time for you to get used to things without a lot of risk, Hank. Tackle it!

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Your swing fails miserably, and the rock goes to hit you between the eyes. You close your eyes, bracing yourself for the hit....
But it never comes. As cautiously open your eyes, you see the rock floating inches from your nose. It falls to the ground with a clank. You hear a voice in your mind.
Alright kid, I read your mind. I know the bet. And I'll be honest, I want to see those babes making out. I'll help you out here if I get to see the action, you hear.
