BATIM Pokemon AU-Let’s Go! Pokemon AU Chap. 3

We're two months away till Pokemon Let's Go! Pikachu and Eevee and I had to get this chapter done before I forget. Also you realized I skipped Susie's battle with Brock, but I'm following the format of Pokemon Origins where I'll be skipping some battles so it focuses more on the story.

Enjoy!

Susie screamed as she Alice and another Pokémon called Jigglypuff escaped the cave. “Alice! Use Swift!” Susie yelled. Alice the Eevee faced the Pokémon coming towards them, which were Zubat and used Swift to scare the bat Pokémon back into the cave. Susie sighed and pets her Eevee, “thanks Alice.”

“Vee!” Alice cheered.

“Are you okay Jigglypuff?” Susie asked. Jigglypuff opened her eyes seeing she escaped from the cave.

“Puff! Puff! Jigglypuff!” Jigglypuff cheered. She jumped out of Susie’s arms and bounced around seeing the green grass and the sunset in the sky. Susie giggled seeing the pink Pokémon being happy. Jigglypuff then jumped into Susie’s arms hugging her as a thank you. Susie smiled and put Jigglypuff down as she walked to the neighboring town. Though Jigglypuff followed her.

“Jigglypuff?” Susie asked. Jigglypuff smiled and cheered, “Oh I get it! You want to join me and Alice.”

“Jiggly!” Jigglypuff cheered.

Susie looked into her bag and took out a Poké ball, “welcome to the team Jigglypuff!” Jigglypuff cheered and Susie tapped the ball onto the balloon Pokémon. After three clicks, Jigglypuff was caught. “Yes!” She cheered. Susie looked at the Poke ball and smiled holding the Poke ball close.

Susie and Alice made it too Cerulean City to compete in their next gym battle. Susie ran to the gym and tried opening the door to see it was locked. She then read the sign:

CLOSED TONIGHT!

GYM WILL OPEN TOMORROW MORNING!

“Well Alice, looks like we have to find a place to spend the night till tomorrow morning.” Susie explained. Susie walked into a Pokémon Center to get a good night rest. Once they got into the Pokémon Center, Susie got a room and was in bed ready for some sleep. “Night Alice! I’ll see you in the morning.” Susie pulled the blankets and fell asleep.

The next morning, Susie woke to someone giving her a lick on the cheek. Susie giggled, “Alice. I’ll wake up in a few seconds.” Alice woke up and turned not being the one licking Susie. Alice growled at the Pokémon who was licking Susie. The trainer woke up and her eyes widen at what was licking her.

Susie screamed loud waking everyone in the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy ran into Susie’s room, “What’s wrong?” she asked. Nurse Joy looked and saw Bulbasaur licking Susie. The trainer was nervous, but realized that it was just a Bulbasaur licking her.

“A Bulbasaur?” Susie asked.

“Bulba!” Bulbasaur replied.

Nurse Joy chuckled. “Oh that’s a Bulbasaur I was taking care of. Its trainer left this little one alone, and I’ve been taking care of it since.” She explained.

Susie looked down and pets the grass-type Pokémon, “Sorry for scaring you earlier, but you’re a cool Pokémon.” Susie soothed. Bulbasaur purred and smiled enjoying the affection Susie gave it.

Nurse Joy smiled at the trainer seeing how much she cared for the Pokémon. “Susie, would you like to take care of Bulbasaur?” She asked.

Susie was shocked, Nurse Joey was giving her Bulbasaur for her. “Nurse Joy, are you sure?” Susie asked.

Nurse Joy nodded, “Of course. Bulbasaur seems to like you.”

“Bulba! Bulbasaur!” Bulbasaur smiled. Susie pets the Grass-type Pokémon. “Okay I will!” Susie smiled and giggled welcoming her new member.

“Wonderful!” Nurse Joy clapped. “Take good care of it.”

“I will!”

After eating breakfast, Susie left the Pokémon Center and went back to the gym. To her relief she saw the “Closed” sign gone.

“Alright let’s go!” Susie cheered. She opened the door and ran into the gym only to slip and fall into a poll. Alice and Bulbasaur freaked out over their trainer falling into the pool. Susie was okay, as she swam up to the surface, coughing up water.

“Miss, are you okay?” A voice asked. Susie looked up to see a young girl with orange hair looking worried at the young trainer.

“Yeah.” Susie replied as the girl helped her out of the pool and got her towel to dry off. “Thank you.”

The girl smiled, “you’re welcome.”

The two girls sat down in a bench drinking some hot tea, the orange haired girl introduced herself,  “I’m Misty, and I’m the Gym Leader of Cerulean City.”

“Hi Misty. I’m Susie. I’m here to battle you.” Susie replied.

Misty chuckled, “So you’re one of the trainers I heard from Brock that are here to battle me.” She explained.

Once Susie dried off, she was able to start her battle with Misty. “I’m using two of my water-type Pokémon! What about you?” Misty asked.

“I’ll be using two as well!” Susie replied.

“Alright,” Misty grabbed out a Poke ball, “go Staryu!” She threw the Poke ball and out came a starfish like Pokémon called Staryu. Staryu did its call and went in front of its trainer.

Susie looked at her surroundings; she saw water and remembered what Pokémon are good against water-types. She grabbed her Poke ball, and called out, “Bulbasaur! Go!” She yelled.

“Bulba!” Bulbasaur cried as it was let out of its Poke ball. Bulbasaur faced its opponent and waited for Susie to command what move to use.

“Bulbasaur use Vine Whip!” Susie commanded. Bulbasaur released the vines from its bulb and started to hit Staryu, dealing major damage. Out of sheer luck, Staryu was defeated.

“Staryu no!” Misty yelled.

“Alright, Bulbasaur!” Susie cheered and hugged her newest team member doing well in battle, “this battle is easy! Let’s try for round 2!”

“Bulbasaur!” Bulbasaur replied.

Misty returned Staryu to its Poke ball, and grabbed her next Poke ball. “Alright! Starmie, let’s go!” Misty yelled throwing her Poke ball and out came Starmie. It looked like Staryu only with more points and in purple.

Susie looked at Bulbasaur, “let’s keep doing what we’re doing!”

“Bulba!”

“Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!”

Bulbasaur released vines and started to attack Starmie. Starmie dealt damage, but not as much as Staryu did. “What?” Susie asked.

Misty smirked, “Starmie, Recover.”

Starmie started to glow and the damage was healed.

“No way! It healed!” Susie yelled.

“Now Starmie! Water Pulse!” Misty commanded.

Starmie launched an orb of water at Bulbasaur, while it didn’t do much damage Bulbasaur got confused and was dizzy wobbling around. “Bulbasaur, are you okay?” Susie asked, but Bulbasaur didn’t reply just being dizzy.  

“Starmie! Use Rapid Spin!” Misty commanded.

Starmie started to spin and rammed into Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur got up, but used its whip on itself shocking Susie. Susie grabbed Bulbasaur’s Poke ball and returned Bulbasaur. She then looked at Alice, who was ready to battle. “Alice, ready?”

“Eevee!” Alice called out running in front of Susie.

“I can beat an Eevee! Starmie use Water Pulse!” Misty commanded.

Starmie released another Water Pulse attack, but Alice was able to miss it. “Alice use Swift!”

Alice then did a summersault and released a bunch of stars at Starmie. Starmie didn’t deal too much damage, so it didn’t worry Misty. “Starmie use Rapid Spin!” She commanded.

Starmie did Rapid Spin again hitting Alice, knocking her to the ground. Alice was able to get up, while the attack did damage it wasn’t as bad. “Alice use Bite!” Susie commanded.

Alice ran and went on one of Starmie’s points and bite into it. Starmie started to cry as the dark-type move took effect on the half psychic and water-type Pokémon!  “Starmie no!” Misty yelled.

“Now Alice, finish it with Tackle!” Susie commanded. Alice ran fast and tackled Starmie into a wall. Misty was shocked seeing how strong this little Eevee was against a Pokémon like Starmie. “Alice! That was amazing!” Susie yelled.

“No way.” Misty said shocked. With a sigh she put Starmie back into its Poke ball and walked up to Susie. “You’re an amazing trainer Susie.”

“Thank you.” Susie replied.

Misty went into her pocket and grabbed out a teardrop badge. “This is the Cascade Badge. You earned it.” Susie got the badge and looked at it with a smile.

“Wow! Thank you!” Susie cheered.

After healing her Pokémon, Susie was about to walk into Route 24 to gain more training. However, Joey appeared and faced Susie. “So your Susie.” He said. Susie gasped and looked up at Joey.

“Um, yeah.” Susie replied.

Joey took out his Poke ball making the young girl gasped, “Battle me.”

Susie was in shock and surprise. She just got done with her battle with Misty, and now is asked for another battle. “Okay then.” Susie trembled. She went to face Joey as Alice decided to battle Joey’s Pokémon.  

“Charmander let’s go!” Joey yelled throwing a Poke ball releasing a fire-type lizard Pokémon.

“Charmander!” Charmander cried out.

It was an intense stare down between the two Pokémon and their trainers. It took a moment before Susie decided to throw in the first move, “Alice! Tackle!”

Alice ran towards Charmander, but the fire-type dodged the move making Alice and Susie shocked. “Charmander, Ember!” Joey commanded.

Charmander released Ember on Alice. Making the Eevee stop in her tracks. Susie gasped seeing her Pokémon getting injured. “Alice!” Susie gasped.

“Charmander, Metal Claw!”  Joey commanded. Charamnder’s claws glowed white and scratched Alice on the cheek. Susie gasped as Alice fell on the ground with a bloody scratch on Alice’s face. Susie ran and carried her starter as she stared at Joey returning Charmander back into its Poke ball and walking away. Susie just felt distraught seeing Alice hurt and bleeding.

Later, Susie was back at the Pokémon Center worried about Alice. She waited on Nurse Joy to give her the news. Her thoughts came true as Nurse Joy walked in, “Your Eevee is fine. The wound isn’t infected.”

Susie sighed in relief seeing her Alice is all right. “That’s good.”

Nurse Joy looked concerned for the young girl, but recognized her feelings. “Did a young boy and a Charmander attack you?” She asked.

Susie looked up surprised, “how did you know?” She asked.

“That same trainer attacked many other trainers before you, and any of their Pokémon suffered scratches and burns.” Nurse Joy explained remember trainers coming in with burned or injured Pokémon.

Susie was in shock and anger over the trainer she wanted to know whom this trainer was so he can pay for hurting Alice, but that wasn’t the time now. She needed to trainer harder so she can defeat Joey. To Susie, he was going to pay for hurting Alice.

Progress Report - July 2020

Been a long time since I’ve done one of these, huh? Long time since anything, in fact.

A lot of things have changed with how the game works. Some of these changes are available in the Night 1 Demo currently on gamejolt, some things aren’t.

I’ll go over everything under the cut, since this one’s gonna be a long one.

To start this off, let’s discuss how the equipment works.

There’s 6 equipment types in-game: Weapon, Chip, Suit, Head, Body, and Accessory. 

Weapons are self explanatory, these are your combat tools. Certain skills will require a certain weapon to be equipped. Withered Bonnie is a great example of this, as two of his primary skills are “Iron Grip” and “Stunning Swing.” Withered Bonnie can equip either Iron Fist or Wire Whip, which will allow you to use that corresponding skill.

Chips are an interesting feature. In combat, you can choose to use your melee weapon, use a skill, use an item, or guard. Chips change what guarding does. Without one, guarding protects against half of any incoming damage in that turn. There’s currently two chips implemented currently, those being the Recovery chip and the Power chip. The Recovery chip recovers 25% of your current HP and MP. The Power chip increases your damage dealt for 5 turns.

Suit, Head and Body are all basically self explanatory as well. These are the attire the animatronics wear, all of which give different stat buffs and debuffs. (For example, the Fazbears having higher HP and Attack, but the Foxes have higher Agility and Luck.)

Accessories are personalized items that give certain bonuses to their respective animatronics. Bonnie has a Retro Speaker, which boosts the damage of his attacks by 15. Foxy has a Treasure Chest, which reduces MP costs by 50%.

All of these equipment types are purchasable at the Prize Counter, which is always found nearby the dining area in the restaurants. At this point in development, Chips and Accessories are the only things that can be purchased, but extra armor may be added in later demos.

Speaking of, let’s discuss what the Night 1 Demo fully contains.

The Night 1 Demo is the first segment of the full game, containing the opening prologue and the first level, 1993. There are 4 animatronic party members to play as, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. The story isn’t fully revealed in this demo, as it’s moreso just to get you accompanied with the animatronics and get a feel for the game. (What’s going on starts to become clear in Night 4. ;) )

The demo features a significant change to the random encounter enemies. As you may remember, these used to be plushies of the main 4. The plushies have now been replaced by endoskeletons, which each have a chance to drop Skill Chips upon defeat. These are basically flash drives which contain data of new skills. (The name “3rd Drive” is a clever play on this, 3rd being my 3rd and final attempt of this story, and drive being these flash drives, since they’re a core mechanic.)

Each animatronic has 4 base skills already unlocked when you first play as them, and finding these skill chips allow up to 4 special skills to be unlocked. At this current point, a large amount of the skills aren’t yet in the game, but they’ll be included as time goes on.

Speaking of, let’s discuss all of the currently available skills.

Freddy currently has 1 base skill and 2 special skills implemented. 

“Mic Bash” costs 25 MP and has an 85% chance of success. It’s a harder-hitting version of his melee attack, dealing 15 more damage. 

“Toreador March” costs 50 MP, hits an enemy 3 times, and has an 80% chance of success on each hit. Freddy plays his music box, effecting all enemies. Each hit has a 50% chance of applying sleep, rendering the target unable to do anything for 3 - 5 turns unless attacked again. Each hit deals 95 damage. 

“Parasite” costs exactly 311 MP, (Freddy’s maximum amount at lvl 20) and deals exactly 2000 damage. Golden Freddy takes control for a moment, causing Freddy to let out a deafening roar. However, the stress of this action causes Freddy to have a breakdown, rendering him unusable for the rest of the battle.

Bonnie currently has 1 base skill and 1 special skill implemented.

“Bash Jam“ costs 25 MP. Bonnie jams out on his guitar, releasing a sound wave loud enough to stun. It deals 65 damage and has a 20% chance to stun the target.

“Grab Bag“ costs 55 MP. Bonnie reaches into a bag and causes 1 of 6 random skills to occur. “Pizza Pass“ and “Soda Send” heals 100 of HP and MP respectively. “Fire Bomb,“ “Light Bomb,“ and “Poison Bomb“ each have a 95% chance of success. They deal 100 damage each and inflict the target with their respective status effects. Fire causes significant damage for the rest of the battle. Light temporarily blinds the opponent, causing them to miss 70% of attacks for 1 - 3 turns. Poison causes a small amount of damage for the rest of the battle. The last possibility causes an explosion, dealing 150 damage to all allies. Grab bag is sort of a risk/reward skill.

Chica currently has 3 base skills and 1 special skill implemented.

“Infestation“ costs 85 MP and has a 90% chance of success. Chica sends cockroaches to deal damage between 1 - 8 turns.

“Throwing Star Pizza“ costs 35 MP, hits 1 random enemy 5 times, and has a 90% chance of success. Chica throws metallic slices of pizza, each dealing 30 damage.

“Ally Block“ costs 40 MP. For some reason, this skill is broken. What’s meant to happen is that Chica takes damage in place of allies with lower HP. It’s advised to not use this until I can get this fixed.

“Hell’s Kitchen“ costs 150 MP and has a 95% chance of success. Chica sets all enemies on fire, instantly dealing 300 damage and also causing the Blaze status effect. (See Fire Bomb above.)

Foxy has 2 base skills and 3 special skills implemented.

“Optimism” costs 35 MP. This buffs all allies’ defense for 3 turns. Use it again to double the buff.

“Blinding Eye“ costs 20 MP and has a 70% chance of success. (50% in the demo. Will be buffed next update.) Foxy flashes his eye, blinding the enemy. (See Light Bomb above.)

“Data Scan“ costs 20 MP. Using his eye, Foxy can see the stats of enemies.

“Stalk“ costs 45 MP. Foxy slinks into the shadows, raising his evasion rate to 85%.

“Psychic Surgery“ costs 60 MP. Using his eye’s spiritual powers, Foxy removes any and all negative status effects from an ally.

Regarding Night 2, it’s coming along pretty well. I’d say I’m somewhere around 60% - 70% complete with it, all that’s left is the finishing cutscene and playtesting before it’s ready.

Thanks for sticking around, I hope to bring you more content soon, and I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait. Until next time!

This may be a lot but 2, 3, 4, 8, 13, 17, 20, 24, 25, 28, 35, 37, 38, 39

2: talk about your first kiss - i had just turned 18 and went to the local for a sunday sesh, i was kinda kinda not vibing with this guy sam, i didn’t know if i liked him but when we were out in the street when the thing ended i saw him flirting with another girl and was like “nope he’s mine” and went and got into their convo, before i knew it we were making out against the wall - then literally 10 seconds later i had to go RIP

3: talk about the person you've had the most intense romantic feelings for - uuuggghhh there’s been two gals which i think was a combination of intense friendship and exploring sexuality. they were the most intense to the point of being romantic, so i’d say them?

4: talk about the thing you regret most so far - fuck me, um probably hospital? and also not trying hard enough in swimming, and maybe being in the school musical and copping out of my HSC. lmao there’s a few

8: talk about the thing you are most proud of - getting school captain and how far i’ve come in the last 8-9 weeks especially 

13: talk about the first time you had sex/how you imagine your first time - i’d love it to be with a guy i’ve been dating from like uni or work and not through tinder and it’s stupidly special. and i’ve lost enough weight to be super comfortable in my skin and really be in the moment 

17:  talk about someone you want to be friends with - there’s this guy i met at a bar course i would like to be friends with, if he ever checks facebook (jks i know he found me repulsive it’s all good)

20:  talk about something that happened in high school - the first thing that comes to mind is my back injury. it was such a fucking defining moment and i could have been so much different (better) if it hadn’t happened. it really like shaped my identity from there on out and i’ve only allowed myself to recover now

24:  talk about something someone told you that meant a lot - fucked if i know, um can i have “meant a lot” mean something negative? cause in that case it was the barrister i had to see who said i had a nice face and a nice personality, i just need to lose the weight? 

25:  talk about an ex-best friend - i wanna talk about sam, cause when people talked about friend soul-mates i felt that, but there was so much personal negativty coming from both sides which wasn’t dealt with that really damaged the relationship. i know i have a problem breaching people’s trusts and i think that contributed and she didn’t really know when the quit. but i hope one day we can reconcile if it means a healthy relationship.

28:  talk about your fetishes - to be loved and lusted after? jks nah sub/dom and variations of kinda stuff lmao and total strangers just going to town and never seeing each other. which is not really a fetish but also i’m a big V so i don’t know what i psychically like. and what i do like to read is never gonna be discussed lmao

35:  talk about things you wish you could stop doing - eating lmao and feeling guilty

38:  talk about songs that remind you of certain people - camisado (p!atd) for doylo and our perfect disease (the wombats) for sam which when you listen to them are pretty self-explanatory. 

39:  talk about things you wish you'd known earlier - THAT NORTHSIDE WAS NOT A GOOD THING TO PUSH FOR, jfc, and also maybe listen to ur mum and stay at berkeley
