The don't slit a throat by accident because they set off a reflex type.
He looks embarassed, as Taylor gets flashes of near misses today. I have too long of a violent past to trust myself enough in social situations. I need help getting out of that.
He follows them to the Saffron Gym, to watch the test.
Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Ethan follows the group to the gym, somewhat curious about the test. He doubted he could pass it without psychic powers or cheating. Or being more dextrous than Koga himself. He watches the events eagerly, but also scans any pokemon he sees in the gym.
Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Romeo decides to play along. He jumps over the low one and again swings at the high one with his case, trying to make it look like he's blasting it away with unknown psychic powers.

Dodge: (1d20+2)[13]

Not sure, that's not really my thing. I'll ask around for you, OK?

You manage to get a few new scans; Kirlia, Abra, and Umbreon.

Dodge: [roll0]
Your jump and swing is enough to almost dodge, but this time the rocks sail around you, spinning around you for a second before slamming into the walls. This time a hail of pebbles that blocks out your view of the wall assaults you.

Romeo decides he can't dodge this. Instead he throws his head back and yells at the top of his voice 'JESSICA!!!' while diving to the ground.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Thank you. If there's anything I can do for you in turn, let me know.
Gerald scans a few of the mon around, moving his dex without really looking at it while watching the test and getting ideas.
(Same batch?)
He watches the arbok come out.
"Is that owned or do you have people drag them in wild?"
Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
'So what? I'm supposed to hurt this thing? I don't hurt innocent pokemon. Jessica knows this. C'mon little guy. Lets not fight.'

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
The Arbok pauses for a second as if it would stop, but then dashes forward as if ordered on by some invisible presence. It glares at you with evil eyes and you find yourself barely able to move.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
Artemis sits with Taylor and Jessica. While Taylor talks to Ethan, Artemis tries to talk to Jessica. "Seriously, how can you actually like him? Not to be mean, but why would you? He's not Psychic, in a bet he would likely lose he said if he wins he gets to watch you make out with your best friend. The guy is a pig." She avoids thinking about Romeo cheating. She doesn't want to hurt Jessica, just make her question why she is into him. She tries to feel what Jessica is thinking right now as she is asked these questions.

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
That was strange. Romeo was sure that would have worked. He had a feeling that someone was cheating. Romeo adresses the room.
'Are you sure this is fair? A well bred Arbok against a trainer? Even low level psychics would have trouble with that. Even Artemis would have trouble with this. I wonder what Sabrina would say to using evolved pokemon on rookies? Lets ask her, shall we?'

Actually, it was me and you, you hear Taylor say sheepishly. I knew he wouldn't pass, but still. Sorry.
"Why do I like him? He is gorgeous! And charming, and..." Jessica starts to go into a very long rant listing every good thing about Romeo from his hair color to his stylish shoes.

You hear a voice in your mind.
Honestly? Sabrina finds it humerous, you hear a Psychic voice say into your mind, one resonating with untold power. Some scrawny little boy with no Psychic talent tries to get it in with a Psychic? It's funny. Have fun with the snakey big guy. Maybe if you're nice it won't eat you. I'll be watching,
it says with a laugh. I'll make sure it doesn't kill you. You are applying for Rocket after all. But next time, don't hit on something you can't have. Especially if it belongs to me.
The snake closes on you, wrapping its huge bulk around your fragile frame and squeezing.
Spoiler
22 damage.

Wait, what!? You are lucky I can't hear anything. Still, I doubt he'll make it. Your mon is in there, right? I wish him a lot of luck with that. She's mad for a second, but laughs it off. "I think I can't reason you out of it..." She sighs. "He is pretty good looking. I guess I just need a smarter man. And one who could defend himself in a fight. You can't talk and flirt your way out of everything."

Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
At first your continued search doesn't yield much. But then, after a small time of searching, you hear something. A twig snap in a bush. You go over to investigate....
And a vine comes out of nowhere, dropping you on your back.

"Once Romeo is done, does anyone want to see what wild pokemon are around?"
If he's psychically read, they just pick up a desire to make friends. Sparky has gone to an electrical outlet to feed for a bit.
Re: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1
'So you must be the boss lady! I'll have you know I'm doing this for love. The true and rightful power in the world. It's more important to me than religion. It's stronger to me than even your mighty psychic powers. You can read my mind, can't you. Ask yourself, why would a man like me who could get almost any girl he wanted try for one he can't? Do I love her? Probably not! Will we fall in love? Maybe, not even you can see the future that lies in the hearts of men. I chase skirt, hoping to one day find my true love who I'll forsake all others for. And for that chance, this snake doesn't scare me. You don't scare me. I'll suffer so others will fight for their true love.'
'Were both your parents psychics? Were both the parents of all the people here? If they weren't, does that make them less worthy? Do you really feel that way? Have you closed off your heart so much?'

We made quite the duo last time, I'll gladly join you. Ethan reaches onto his belt and releases the Geodude for everyone to see. Gerald caught this Geodude for me. I call him Quartz-079. He's quite skilllful with pokeballs.

We may be out of our depth here.
You catch a brief flash of green as a snakelike Pokemon jumps between branches. It glares at Buck, causing him to shrink back a bit.

That's touching, the voice says, speaking straight into her mind. And yes, one of my parents was a Psychic. My dad though, he was normal. A shirking weakling, that's what he was. But you make a good point. Maybe you are in it for love. Maybe you are her friend. But that's not for me to decide, it says. I'll let you leave with your life. Don't push you luck.
The snake is forcibly uncoiled from around you and hurled across the room. It goes through the hole in the wall, trying to escape.
A door that you hadn't seen before opens.
"Well, you didn't die," Taylor says. "And you cheated in the challenge," she says, dragging a boy that is probably about fourteen by the ear. "Seriously Josh? I can read minds. I heard you talking to him. Anyways, you lost. But somebody waaay up there intervened. The bet's off," she says, storming away angrily.
