Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
For the hour that Collin is getting his magikarp tutored, he'll spend the time training Ahti, his weedle. He will have her practice her accuracy with her poison sting and get used to climbing up places with her threaded capability.
Blake shrugs at the man and says, "Thanks... but I'll pass for the moment... if I change my mind, I'll get back to you." Heading off, he finds the active PCs and switches out Varen for Rak. Releasing the Krabby, he looks around for some rocks or rubble that can be used to train the Pokemon, having the Krabby work on strengthening its grip by crushing the rubble in its claws.
Mueki beamed at Dave. "Thanks! I'll take good care of it."
Mueki did not have any Pokemon that could learn Bounce, so she politely declined the offer. She did, however, seek out one of the Gym Trainers. "Hi, um, I had heard that to be a member of the Gym you need a Dark Type Pokemon? I don't have one, so..." She bit her lip, nervous about asking for one of their Pokemon.
Spoiler
Is this the end of the day for us? I need to know if I need to roll my breeding checks yet. Still in the field, will have sparse opportunity to use laptop. Will post from phone if I can.

There's still time to do stuff, but you're not going to be sent back out again before the day changes.
Mueki:
The gym trainer looks at Mueki as she spoke to him. "Eh? You don't have one? Well, we can't really spare a lot of pokémon right now, but maybe Andrew or Taylor has a spare egg they can give you. They should both be around here somewhere. Just tell them what you need and if they have anything available, they should give it to you." The time is around 5:00 PM.
Everyone Else:
Training Validated. By the time you finish training your pokémon, the time is around 6:00 PM, and you're feeling a bit hungry. When Collin goes to get Isonade, he finds that the man has kept his word, the fish leaping distances much higher than you have ever seen from her before.
Mueki nods and goes to the breeding center, intent on getting a second Pokemon Egg. She immediately seeks out Andrew, breathing deep and mustering her courage. "Andrew. Hi! Ummm... I was wondering, you know, since I'm with the exploration team now, um, that means I'm a Gym Member right? And, well, I don't have a Dark Type Pokemon, so, I mean, if you happen to have a spare, um, and it's not too much of a bother..."
Her rambling shyness, at that point, imploded in upon itself and she dissolved into inaudible mumbling, looking down at her feet and hiding her flushed face with her bangs.
Charisma Check: [7]

Dave goes to see about getting dinner at the arena even if its just a soup line a hot anything sounds better than the junk food and granola he has been eating the past couple of days. he then goes to see if vanessa has smithed those apricorns yet if she hasn't he'll take the black one back so they have something to use with the green one should they decide to turn it into juice.
Dave:
When you go to the arena for food, everyone seems happy to see you, with children thanking you, and the mood generally happier than it has been lately. Afterward, Vanessa gives you a single Basic Ball made from the Red Apricorn, and returns your Black Apricorn, telling you that she'll need more time if you still want the Blue Apricorn turned into a ball. The time is now around 6:30 PM
Mueki:
Andrew looks at you. "Oh, right. Yeah, I guess you'll need one. Um, I hatched this this morning, but it's not getting along too well with me. Maybe you'll be better off with it." Andrew hands you a pokéball, and gets back to his work.The time is now around 5:30 PM, and you're starting to get a bit hungry.
Collin:

Collin will spend about 15 minutes entertaining the children with the story of how they fought three gyarados, embellishing it to make them seem more heroic than they really felt at the time. After finishing up with a description of how Mueki used her snake to ensure that they would not be bothered by them again, Collin will wander around outside the arena for a little bit, seeing if there are any more wild pokemon roaming dangerously close. As he walks, he muses over how connected with the Earth he has felt ever since coming to this island.
Spoiler
encounter roll - (d%)[1] with the elements - (d20+3)[23]
if the with the elements roll beats a 15, at least one ground pokemon will be part of the wild encounter.
Blake heads over to see about getting some food, and after eating looks around to see if anyone has started accepting money again for anything useful yet.
Spoiler
Food, then looking for the black market - Perception: (1d20+4)[9]
Mueki left and released her newest Pokemon, taking in the odd looking Pokemon with trepidation. "Hi. My name is Mueki. Hmm... I can't think of a name yet, but it's nice to meet you regardless."
Mueki returned her newest Pokemon and went to the mess hall to assist in feeding everyone. She makes a few portions, making sure she tracked down her three companions and giving them their food personally with a big smile.
Home Cooking: (1d4+4)[8]
Mueki eventually gravitated towards Collin, finding him and silently walking next to him around the perimeter. She muses about her companion, thinking of his good qualities, his strength and courage. She glanced at him, lost in his thoughts, and flushes slightly, the red light of dusk concealing it.
Wild Roll:(1d100)[74]

With the kids entertained, his belly full, and his arms tired Dave heads to the workshop to see if he can turn some scrap metal into some more improvised throwing knives so he doesn't waste his good ones on a fight he has to run away from. he is willing to help the mechanics with whatever they are working on in exchange for the materials and use of some tools.
Mueki:
You finish eating and feeding everyone around 6:30 PM. You find Collin just as he's wandering out of the camp.
Mueki & Collin:
Collin's connection with the earth leads him to find a small dark-blue dragon near the camp, while Mueki spots a Rattata hiding nearby.
Spoiler
Not going to bother with a grid, Speed 5+ beats the dragon, Speed 7+ beats the Rattata.
Blake:
When you go to the arena for food, everyone seems happy to see you, with children thanking you, and the mood generally happier than it has been lately. The time is now around 6:30 PM. After your meal, you manage to find a a man with a large bear pokémon hiding behind the tents selling items. "Hey kid, lookin to buy somethin?"
Collin & Mueki:
After Isonade begins her leap, the rat rushes in and tackles Mueki's snake, who responds with a menacing glare, stopping the rat in it's tracks. The dragon, not seeming to understand why the fish jumped, roars in Collin's direction, striking him with a small twister.

Dave:
You manage to make some good knives. Not as good as the ones you have, but at least it's extra ammo.
Spoiler
6 additional throwing knives, with no bonuses.
Blake:
"^250 each for the potions and balls. Full heal is ^625, Revive is ^375. If ya want all the balls, that's ^2000 for all of it."
Mueki furrows her brow in worry at the hard hit Mato took but then firmed her resolve. "Mato, use your Poison Sting to weaken it!" After the attack impacted it, she prepped and threw a Pokeball to capture the rodent Pokemon.
Blake:
...then that'll be ^1125. Les just make it a nice round
^1100 then."
Dave:
As you head towards the gym, you spot Mueki and Collin fighting a pair of pokémon not far from the arena, just in time to see a Rattata get sucked into Mueki's pokéball.
Mueki & Collin:
Collin's rock strikes the dragon just before Isonade lands on it. While they fight the dragon, Mueki's rat is immobilized by Matowaritsuku's glare, and the snake strikes it with poison, followed shortly by Mueki's Poké ball, ensnaring the rat and sealing shut. Clearly angry at being hit, the Dragon takes a deep breath and breathes a searing flame at Isonade, knocking her out.
Spoiler

Nodding, Blake says, "That'll do, then. And thank you." Purchasing the goods with what remains of his funds, he then decides to look around and see if he can find the others.
Blake:
The others don't seem to be around the arena, but just as you head outside, you notice the others mid-battle.
Everyone Else:
The dragon easily avoids Collin's ball, and it smashes into the wall, breaking. Mueki's snake glares at the dragon, freezing it just as well as it had done to the rat. Rhea responds by curling up into a ball, protecting herself from the dragon's attack, which doesn't come because said dragon is frozen in fear of Matowaritsuku.
