PTA: Points of Authority (IC)

[CosmicOccurence]

Now's fine, we already know where the center is, so we can get there if anything goes wrong. Let's go.

Francis walks towards the dumpsters, forcing memories back the whole time.

Spoiler

If there are multiple sets of dumpsters he remembered, I head to the ones closest to the Center

[MesiDoomstalker]

Trash Divers

Spoiler

Its any dumpster. Any dumpster will have food scrapes to attract wild pokemon. If you want to wild hunt, roll a wild check (1d100), only need one for the both of you. Do note it is 2:30 a.m.

Kelaeon checks the dumpsters.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Kelaeon opens the the dumpster and looks inside. The interior is stuffed full with black garbage bags and it seems nothing else. He starts to close the lid when he notices a small jagged brown thing sticking out of one bag. Did it just move?

[CosmicOccurence]

Francis lifts the lid of another dumpster, looking for anything useful or interesting. He wasn't going to go into that for no good reason, and certainly not with nice clothes on.

Wild roll if you so desire to use, if not, feel free to ignore. (1d100)[8]

[Major]

"I think I found something," Kelaeon says stepping back and lifting his pokedex to scan the brown thing. "Not sure what it is, but it moved."

[MesiDoomstalker]

Francis finds nothing back black garbage bags in the other dumpster. Kelaeon's dex pings INSUFFICIENT SCAN. PLEASE SCAN AGAIN. Either it wasn't a pokemon or the dex can't scan enough of it to tell what it is. Maybe digging it out will work.

Spoiler

On wild rolls: You normally only get 1 per day (these are going on your previous day). If your hunting in a group, its one roll for the group, which sacrifices all rolls for those in the group. If you ignore the wild I give you, well tough ****. You won't find anymore. Not on that day anyways. This isn't the VG, you can't just flee and keep moving around in tall grass.

Alternativly, you can hunt in an area all day, which gives you 3 rolls. Thats only if that is all your doing for the day, no travelling, nothing that takes any large amount of time.

[CosmicOccurence]

Francis peers in the dumpster, looking at the brown thing. He then walks a little ways away, and removes his jacket. The jeans couldn't be changed, but there was no changing that. Well, shall we?

With Jasmine at the ready, Francis draws his knife and starts cutting the bag open, hoping to uncover more of the mystery pokemon.

Spoiler

LUCK ROLL! (1d100)[19]

[MesiDoomstalker]

As Francis cuts open the bag, a small doll like pokemon falls out. It had a small round body, roundish head, with pionts on its head and on its body in place of its feet, and two strips for arms. One of the strips, the one that was sticking out of the bag, is broken off half way up. The eye like patterns on its face blink feebly. Its at least alive. It starts to take off from the garbage pile, but just falls back down.

[CosmicOccurence]

Francis picks the pokemon up, and speaks to it gently We're going to get you to the pokemon center, don't fight me. Kelaeon, will you get my jacket? Unless Kelaeon objects, he goes to the pokemon center as quickly as he can do safely.

[Major]

"What is it?" Kelaeon ask giving a quick scan of his pokedex to try again before moving over to get the jacket and following to the pokemon center.

[MesiDoomstalker]

The Dex pings BALTOY. As you enter the pokemon Center, the clerk smiles at you warmly from behind the desk. Hello! How may I hel- but her words are caught off as she stares with dread at the poor Baltoy in Francis hands. My dear Arceus! What happened!? Hurry give him to me, I must put him in the ICU immdiatly! Without waiting for permission, she gently scoops the Baltoy up and run-walks through a door to the ICU.

After about 10 minutes a man in a white lab coat walks out with a clipboard and approaches you. I was informed you brought in that Baltoy, correct? What happened? How did it sustain such a serious injury?

[CosmicOccurence]

We found it this way in a pile of trash. My friend saw part of it, and went for a closer look. We don't even know if it's wild or not.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Well then. A quick test showed it was owned, but it was released. Whoever did this to them probably discarded it instead of seeking treatment. He will be in the ICU for at least a few hours. Here he hands you a key. Key to my office. Theres a fold out bed in there you two can sleep on for the night. I'll get you when we know more.

[Major]

"Thank you," Kelaeon says with a smile, "Both for the place to stay and taking care of the poor creature. Is there any way to find out who the owner was?" He ask crossing his arms. "People like that should be banned from having pokemon, if not worse."

[CosmicOccurence]

Francis glances at Kelaeon with a small frown on his face. That was a really weird for him to say. Especially considering that he was about to poison the healing supplies of a multitude trainers. Kind of a double standard.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Everybody

Despite the price, each of you are shoved into tiny compartments to sleep in. Its relatively comfortable but could definatly be better. Kelaeon and Francis are woken gently by the Doctor from earlier. Francis? Kelaeon? The Baltoy is stable. You can take him home come later today. But please be careful with him.

[Major]

"Any luck finding the original trainer?" Kelaeon ask calmly as he thanks the nurse.

[CosmicOccurence]

Francis thanks the doctor, and turns to Kelaeon. The dex says that Baltoy's a ground/psychic type, perfect for the trip to saffron. It's probably better if you use it.

[Esprit15]

Bryan wakes and after getting ready, sits in the lobby, sending a message to everyone on their phones once they wake. -Meet in lobby of Center. Need to plan.-

[Major]

"You sure?" Kelaeon ask, "I'm all for it, but I did catch the poliwag already and you did race the pokemon here." Kelaeon says not wanting to seem greedy and rob his allies.

[CosmicOccurence]

It's fine, having two people with defenses is more important than you having more mons than me. Just let me have the next one. His pokegear buzzes, and Francis flipped it open quickly. Bryan wants to meet in the lobby, we'll see what he wants, and then figure out our plan for the day.

[Dragonsage]

Tarja wakes to find the message on her phone, so she fixes herself up and heads out to the lobby to wait for the others. "Morning." She waved to Bryan, before yawning into her palm and sitting down.

[Cormag81]

Ashley wakes up late and only then because Rhea wakes her up when her phone goes off. Meet in lobby it says okay will do she gets ready for the day and is heads for the meeting with her gifts.

[Major]

Kelaeon nods and takes the Baltoy, "Deal, worse case I'll trade you something sometime. I owe you one." He says before nodding, "To the lobby then."

[CosmicOccurence]

Francis acknowledges Kelaeon with a smile, and follows him to the lobby. What's up Bryan?

[Esprit15]

"Was wanting to make a plan for the day. Get you guys ready for your trip East, get ourselves," he motions to those staying, "an idea of the place we're heading to."

(Let's plan in the pad, this time.)

EDIT: (Seeing as not many people were on to discuss and we have a loose plan)

"Well, guess that settles that. I'm gonna go find a bite to eat and get a battle or two in. Anyone up for finding a tag battle?"

[CosmicOccurence]

I'd be up for it, Jasmine and I want to train together. Hopefully she'll evolve before we head to Celadon. If Bryan agrees, Francis heads out to search for a tag battle.

[Dragonsage]

"I also wouldn't mind joining you for some training, since it we're going to be working together anyway. Might as well get used to fighting side by side." Tarja nodded.

[Esprit15]

"Think for now we should train with the people we'll be working with for the rest of the month. You and Kel should train together, and myself, Ashley and Tarja should train together."
