Noblesse Pokémon AU ...Snippet?: Battling for Dear Life Part 1

This one takes place shortly after the kids get kidnapped by Jake and Mary. Again uses altered canon dialogue. Starts in episode 68. ENTIRELY TOO LONG. I’M GONNA HAVE TO BREAK IT UP AS IT IS. BUT EVEN THIS SEGMENT REFUSES TO BE A RESPECTABLE LENGTH. TT^TT The other segments...should be shorter, when I get to them. The difficulty here is that I have the endings of each segment planned out, but getting from point A to point B while implementing the changes is...long, in some cases. *sigh* This is one of many reasons I usually just lurk, instead of participating in fandoms like this. If anyone knows a better term for this monstrosity than “snippet” (because it’s not, it’s really not) I’m all ears.

Previous Snippet | Next Snippet

Shinwoo was already winded from his fight with the laser-eyed man. He’d hit vital spots over and over, dodging deadly blows, breaking bones and yet...and yet, he was still standing. All he’d managed to do was slow the guy down. He was already getting tired, but maybe, maybe it’d be enough to win if he kept it up.

A cigarette dropped to the floor. “Not bad.” The pale man said, crushing out the cherry (didn’t he know cigs were bad for him? No wonder he was pale) as he stood, one fluid motion. “He fights better than our normal trained members. He’s really a student?” The vicious smirk promised bad things to come. “Wanna fight me?”

‘That...that was nonsense.’ M-24 thought. The agents Jake referred to, the ones he slaughtered for fun, they hadn’t been modified, experimental ones like Jake being too valuable to send out on just anything. But even so, to say that a child was more skilled than trained killers. Surely Jake wasn’t being serious, right? But no, the man (no, monster), stepped closer to the kids.

“I wanna check him out.” Shinwoo was speechless. He was expected to fight a fresh opponent now? “If I really wanna check out your skills...” He casually reached beside him, shoving laser-eyes out of the way, “garbage should get out of the way.”

The wall was cracked. The wall was cracked, and laser-eyes was unconscious. The guy who’d been fine from all his attacks was unconscious from a single fucking blow from pale-man. Who were these people? They were all monsters.

“Hey, kiddo. You’re good. Did you train a lot?” Pale-man’s constant smirk as seriously starting to piss Shinwoo off. It was like a Persian toying with a Rattata. This was a game to him.

“I thought I did. But looking at you, it seems my training wasn’t worth it.” He specialized in martial arts specifically to protect his friends. If he couldn’t even do that....

The man chuckled. “The way you talk back...you are really something.” He spread his arms, a blatant challenge. “I will kill you one at a time. You already know I won’t give you an easy death, right?”

“Why do I have to do as you guys tell me?” Honestly, at this point, he was just being facetious for the sake of wasting time. He’d managed to give that blatantly obvious coded message to Professor Lee. All he had to do now was stall until the police got here. Hopefully armed with some Machamp. He didn’t think the standard Snubbull and Growlithe were gonna cut it this time. Even so, at this rate.... He rubbed Bohoja’s pokéball unconsciously.

“Then don’t. Quit if you don’t want too.” He was sick of that smile. “I can just kill you and your friends. You don’t amuse me, I should do something to amuse myself.” What was with this smarmy bastard!? “I’ll give you a chance. Just attack me!”

Shinwoo didn’t waste a second, running up and delivering his best kick. “Sorry, man. Thought you wanted me to attack.” And what an attack it was. A solid blow, straight to the stomach. It wouldn’t drop a monster like him, but with any luck, it’d wind him.

Pale-man let out a cackle. “Nice. That’s what I want.”

‘An attack like that won’t hurt Jake. It was no match from the start.’ This wouldn’t last long. M-24 fiddled with the pokéball in his pocket. It wouldn’t help much, and he hated the idea of putting her in danger, but a battle. A battle might help buy some more time.

“The timing was good but the kick wasn’t. Here, try again.” The man’s arms were still spread. He hadn’t moved an inch from his previous position. Shinwoo rushed him, delivering three solid punches to his torso. Damn, was he hitting a wall? His hand was bleeding, and he was certain it’d fractured in a few places. Clenching a fist hurt in ways it never had before, and this wasn’t even his first time with a broken bone.

“You’re not done, are you?” He...he wanted more? Honestly, Shinwoo was having trouble staying standing, and he wasn’t even being attacked. This man...Shinwoo’s body trembled from the fear he’d been repressing since they were kidnapped. He was starting to doubt that help would come in time. Damn it, if only he could just stall longer! “What? That’s it? You’re no fun.”

One swift motion and Shinwoo hit the wall. Body first, thankfully, but the momentum threw his head back on impact. Well, a concussion. Yeah, that was something he needed in this situation.

“Shinwoo!” His friends were frantic, screaming at him. He coughed in response, trying to keep the coppery fluids from invading his lungs. Damn, he must have bitten something, or broken a tooth too close to the root. Shit. He was in NO condition to continue fighting.

“What? That’s it? It’s not entertaining.” Smug prick. Shinwoo’d known he was fighting a losing battle, but that didn’t make it any less frustrating. “Hey, kiddo. Like I said. Because you disappointed me, I will kill your friends, one by one.” Like there’d ever even been a chance of him doing any different.

“Jake, that’s enough.” The grey-haired man who’d kidnapped them before was stepping in. Even if he was a bad guy, it seemed like he was trying to help.

“Why are you stopping me again.” The pale man -Jake was his name?- positively growled the words. He really needed some kind of anger management classes.

“Until the last one comes...”

“That crap again?! Stop saying that. The last kid is coming. Why keep these ones alive?”

“What if he doesn’t show? You wanna do this again? Because I don’t.”

“M-21 is right. Wait a bit more, that’s all.” The blue haired woman who’d previously been silently stroking a Liepard spoke. “M-21 will wait with me outside for the last kid.”

M-21 shared a quick glance with M-24 before following Marie and her Liepard out the door.

Jake began walking toward the kids again. Did Marie not just tell him to leave them alive!? “Jake, what’re you doing? You disobeying Marie’s orders?”

“I’m not gonna kill. Hey, Marie. It’s okay as long as I don’t kill, right?” The silence on the other end gave her answer: tacit agreement. “Understand me. No one has ever made me so annoyed. Ever since I started looking for you kids, I made up my mind. I will not let you die in peace...”

Oh, hell. M-24 was really gonna have to get involved, wasn’t he?

The red-head groaned and sat up. “Damn, I can’t even take a break...” The other two immediately set out checking to see if he was ok.

“Not bad. That idiot is still unconscious.” Jake looked back at the infected.

“Hey.” The red-head stumbled to his feet. “Before you hurt my friends...I’m right here.”

Before the pale man could react. “Jake, wait.” M-24 had no idea what he was doing. “Before anything else happens, there’s something I want from them.” There was every chance Jake’d just keep beating them, but.... “My Pokémon needs training. They’re from a trainers’ school.” A Pokémon battle. Even with the league regulations, it was a pretty violent sport, much like MMA. It might just be enough for Jake to allow it. Probably why he’d even let the kids keep their Pokémon in the first place. More blood to spill.

Jake paused, looking at the large scarred man with. For a moment, M-24 thought he’d said the wrong thing, that he’d just made everything worse, when he responded with a scoff. “I don’t know why you’d bother. Trash like you would have just been given more trash.” But he still backed out of the way. “Have at it then. Make it entertaining.”

“You. Redhead. Battle me.” There, just like that. Rough, commanding. Jake wouldn’t even question his intentions. He fumbled in his pocket for the pokéball. “Go Espurr!” A small, grey, bipedal kitten appeared on the concrete in front of him. ‘Tiny, help me buy some time.’ The kitten nodded, seemingly at nothing. Their mental link would never stop being useful.

Shinwoo hesitated. A battle...would buy time, but he had no idea what the scarred man was up to. Best to just wrap it up quickly then, to keep damage to a minimum. “C’mon out, Bohoja.” He tossed the ball in the air, the familiar bipedal jackal pup forming from the light emitted. The type matchup wasn’t in his favor, but he’d found out quick why the Professor’d said he “wasn’t starter material.” With a competitive breedject, Shinwoo didn’t lose battles often.

Inflicting a status on the opponent seemed the best option, so “Force Palm.” The pup moved to attack, faster than most humans could move, but the cat smacked him on either side of his neck, freezing him in place for a second. Nice try, but a Fake Out wouldn’t work a second time. “Do it again, Bohoja.” Faster this time, he hit the Espurr in the chest with an open hand. The kitten shivered, sparks dancing across her body before she let out a pain-filled cry, dealing a bit of sonic damage to her opponent. A super effective move on a fighting type like Riolu, but it wouldn’t be enough. “Blaze Kick.” Bohoja’s leg caught fire as he kicked the psychic cat, knocking it down and out.

“See? Trash is trash. You can’t change that.” Jake walked menacingly towards the fainted Pokémon. M-24 quickly recalled Tiny to her pokéball. Jake would NOT be getting to her if he could help it. “Really? You’re just delaying the inevitable, you know.” Jake paused, glancing at the redhead and his Riolu. “You’ve got a good idea though, why not use this as a training opportunity.”

A small, heavily scarred Larvitar appeared before him. “Don’t lose this time, got it?” The baby kaiju shivered. It wasn’t her fights that had gotten her those scars. “Hey, even your Pokémon is well trained. Fight me.”

Shinwoo didn’t waste any time. “Bohoja, Sky Uppercut.” Still affected by the speed boost from last fight, there wasn’t even time to blink before he’d driven his fist into her chin, sending the tiny lizard flying. She was knocked out before she’d even hit the ground.

“Should have realized she’d lose. Bastards have been giving me trash since I went through the first few.” He crushed a white pokéball in his hand. “Guess I’ll have to dispose on this one too.”

The redhead moved, tossing a ball of his own at the Larvitar. Fainted, there wasn’t anything she could do to keep from being caught, even if it was against her will. It was against League Law to catch a fainted Pokémon for that reason. Yeah, he was committing a crime, but he’d release her once the danger was passed. IF it passed. “Sorry. My hand slipped. Guess you shouldn’t have broken her ball. Ball-less Pokémon are technically wild, after all.” Bohoja picked up the ball for him.

Jake was decidedly unamused. “I see.” He’d make sure to remember that for next time he killed the trash the Union gave him, but for now....He backhanded Shinwoo right into a wall. “Satisfied?” He might have outsmarted him, but it would cost him. “Oh my...” Looks like without him in the way, his friends and Pokémon were unprotected. “Now, I can start.”

“No, not yet.” He was shaking, crouched on the ground, but he was up again? M-24 was stumped. Jake might not be using his full strength, even so, most modified agents couldn’t stand that attack. What was the boy made of?

Jake sauntered over to the boy and dealt a quick kick to his jaw, knocking him to the floor. “I guess I hit him too softly, thinking I shouldn’t kill him.” Yet. M-24 hoped he meant yet. Any alternatives were just...to awful to comprehend. And yet, as Jake spun around for the others, the redhead grabbed his leg.

“What...What are you doing? You can’t even stand up? Just stay on the floor.” He shook off the boy’s arms, and carefully stepped on his right arm, putting just enough pressure for a resounding ‘crunch’ to echo through the room. The children cried out, the boy in pain and his friends in horror. But still, he reached, looping his uninjured arm around the sadist’s leg.

“You will...never...hurt my friends” His breathing was ragged, but his eyes still shone with defiance. M-24 was shaken. This kid. This kid cared about his friends as much as he cared for M-21, for Tiny.

“Shinwoo, stop it now. We’re okay.” Yuna cried. It was far from the truth, but this was unfair. Shinwoo was the only one getting hurt in all this.

“You can’t get hurt because of us...” Ik-han agreed, tears streaming down his face. He did not want to watch this twisted man break Shinwoo more just because he wouldn’t let him do to them what he was doing to him.

“Be quiet, both of you. This is...the only thing I’m good at...” Shinwoo...didn’t really think that, right? That his ability to protect them was what made him worthy as a friend. He couldn’t. Not after all they’d been through together, right?

“You think I’m doing this because I can’t kill you?” Jake’s face darkened. He’d been so patient so far, but even he had his limits. “Whatever. I’ll just kill you all.” He dragged Shinwoo by his hair, preparing for a lethal blow.

M-24 could not just watch. Not anymore. These kids cared for each other. They were comrades, just like the M series had been. For another group to be torn apart like theirs had...unacceptable. He punched Jake, sending him into the wall with enough force to bury him in rubble. He’d just sealed their fate. Jake would kill the last remnants of the M series. M-21 would understand though. Hopefully.

And that marks the end of this segment. To clarify the battle scenes, a competitive breedject would be a ‘mon specifically bred for competitive battles, but rejected, as it didn’t meet the breeder’s specifications (you end up with a lot of these going for competitive shinies, lots of fighting fit ‘mons will be created before you find that one.) Given what all goes into this, and the overbreeding that can occur because of it, it’s probably frowned upon, if not outright illegal in this ‘verse. Not that that’s going to stop everyone.

In gaming terms, first battle occured as follows: Espurr uses Fake Out, Flinching the Riolu but raising his speed due to his ability. Riolu uses Force Palm, and manages to Paralyze the Espurr, further widening the speed gap, and Espurr retaliates with Disarming Voice, a fairy-type move. Riolu then finishes with Blaze Kick, an egg move he was born with.

The fight with Larvitar went as quickly as it did because she was at a type disadvantage, with a Riolu with perfect attack IVs(essentially genetic stats, can be from 0-31) and a fair amount of EVs(Effort Value, stats gained through training. Is why trained ‘mons are stronger than wild ‘mons, even at the same level) from his time in the dojo with Shinwoo, using a STAB (same type attack bonus; for when a move’s type matches the user’s type) move. And the move was a high-powered one he hatched with (Bohoja has a Blaziken ancestor). Poor girl never stood a chance.

Jake doesn’t train his Pokémon. As far as he’s concerned, it should automatically be able to keep up with him. Any that doesn’t dies. He’s gone though several already, so the Union keeps giving him low levels with okay starting defence. Not gonna waste the good ones on him, and they aren’t going out of their way to give him one with good defence, he’d only take it as a challenge.

Roleplay Server Log #180

“A New Badge for Lost Silver, a Call From Jeb”

[Sylveon] Comes running up in a panic-

[Mb] What the actual fuck is that? Did Hello Kitty fall down the damn well?

[Sylveon] Jumps up into the spawn tree-

[Zweilous] Comes chasing after it, sniffing the air-

[CP] - Nope, that belongs to an old housemate of mine

[Doc] What in the world... it has two heads?

[Mb] Did you live with a Japanese schoolgirl?

[CP] - Nope, pokemon trainers

[Silver] Comes running up panting- Zweilous! Stop!

[Doc] Thumbs at Galvantula - That's one as well, there are lots of types. Oh, hey Silver.

[Silver] - Hey... Shit, Sylveon!

[Doc] New head I see, and some increased speed. What's with him chasing Sylveon?

[Silver] - Dragon and fairy types don't get along

[Doc] Is there some Pokemon equivalent to catnip we can use to calm them down?

[Silver] - Nope... Zweilous became more aggressive with this evolution so it's not listening as well as usual...

[Doc] Don't you need some kind of emblem to make the pokemon listen to their trainer?

[Silver] - The badges? I normally haven't... Then again my game was glitched and I have all my badges

[Doc] And this one is from a different game... maybe it's time to go do some battles?

[Silver] - It's been a very long time since I've done that...

[Doc] Yeah, but you're all set up for it now! Your pokemon are in good shape and you are too.

[Silver] - But which gym would I be fighting?

[Doc] Well, lets do some research... - Xe pulls out hir command block - Lets see, Deino evolves at level 50 ... the game after yours is Ruby/Sapphire and you need a badge to control over lvl 50... You need to beat.... Lavaridge gym, someone called Flannery? And you get the Heat badge.

[Silver] - So Lapras will be my powerhouse for that fight, and Ponyta will be useless...

[Doc] You know, mine could use some exercise too. Maybe Deerheart's as well. We could keep the wild ones off you so you're fresh for the fight at least.

[Silver] - I'm not sure how pokemon from later games will work if brought into an older version, so Sylveon and some of the others may be useless...

[Doc] We're glitches, I think we can figure it out.

[Galvantula] Bounces around a bit since it's got tons of Doc's excess energy.

[Silver] - I don't know...

[Doc] MissingNo is old enough, aren't they?

[Silver] - Yeah, they're from the original game

[Doc] Have you had any luck training them?

[Mb] Are you two actually speaking English?

[Silver] - Not much...

[CP] - Shut up asshole

[Mb] I'm gonna go start building a house. Later losers.

[Lie] - Welcome to the server Mb

[Mb] Grumbles-

[Mew] *Glides down from above to try and land on Doc

[Galvantula] Makes a playful jump for Mew

[Doc] These things take time Silver. MissingNo might not even be able to understand you all that well. They are pretty scrambled.

[Mew] ! ! ! *Flicks tail at Galvantula, trying to trap it in a bubble

[Silver] - Yeah...- Flickers to his gray tones briefly

[Doc] Nonono, Don't be sad! - Hugs Silver warmly. - It'll be okay. If all else fails I'll try to untangle their code myself.

[Silver] Hugs back- Thanks

[Doc] Gives Silver a good squeeze and holds his shoulders. - Come on, lets go on a little adventure. I think being in your element will give you some confidence at least.

[Silver] - Oh... Okay...

[Doc] Calls out to Deerheart over the chat - Love? We need to go out for a bit. Can you bring our pokemon and meet us at the spawn? - turns to Mew - Would Glitchy like to come as well?

[Deer] - Sure

[Doc] Cp? Lie? Would either of you like to go?

[CP] - Do we really wanna leave the newbie here by himself?

[Mew] Meewww.... *Shrugs and glides over to Silver, pawing at him

[Mew] Call, or I can go ask him

[Doc] Understood. I know the Shuppet won't obey you anyway.

[Silver] - Alright alright- He brings up his pokedex- Glitchy? Can you hear me?

[Lie] - I wouldn't mind if you guys take Vulpix with you

[Glitchy] Yeah, what is it?

[Silver] - I apparently need another badge to help control Zweilous, wanna come with us?

[Glitchy] ... Sure, should we drag Strangled with? It might be good for him.

[Silver] - Ah Lie, that might be a bad idea... You don't want Vulpix to accidentally get switched to another trainer

[Silver] - You can try

[Doc] Good call. It's okay. Me and Deerheart each have two, that should suffice.

[Glitchy] I'll get him, where should we come?

[Deer] Rides up on Mudsdale with Goomy and Shaymin riding behind her-

[Silver] - We're at spawn

[Glitchy] We'll be there in a bit. Is my mew with you? They ran off a bit ago.

[Silver] - Yeah- Pats Mew- They're here

[Glitchy] Good, alright, we'll be there in a bit.

[Silver] - See you then

[Ponyta] Trots along behind Mudsdale-

[Silver] - Ponyta...

[Doc] That one just loves hanging out with Mudsdale. It's so cute.

[Silver] - I've noticed...

-Espurr and Lapras arrive as well-

[Doc] You don't think... they can breed.... do you?

[Silver] - I mean, technically yes? But it would end up as one or the other...

[Doc] Well, I guess we'll see. I have no idea what sex either of them are, and frankly I had no idea the Gastly would be able to breed with the Chain Chomp. That pretty much blew my mind.

[Glitchy] It'll be fun, stop giving me that look. -Herding Strangled into spawn, flareon bouncing around behind them both

[Strangled] - I'm hating both of you right now...

[Silver] - Ponyta is female

[Glitchy] Oh hush.

[Silver] - Hey you two

[Strangled] - Just what the fuck are we doing?

[Doc] Silver neeeds a new badge for his Zweilous, we're going out for a bit.

[Strangled] - Against what?

[Silver] - Fire types

[Strangled] - Do you wanna use Onyx? He'd be strong there

[Silver] - No, that's alright, I've got Lapras

[Doc] Lapras is a bad-ass. That's such a lovely creature. I read online they're super rare.

[Lapras] Nudges Silver-

[Silver] - Yeah, they kinda are

[Doc] I guess I'm leading. Since Cp is going to stay to watch the noob. But I trust Deerheart to help us get back if we get turned around.

[Silver] Calls his pokemon back to their balls-

[Doc] Offers the containers for Galvantula and Goomy and they hop in. - I've been meaning to try this anyway. - Xe sticks the two balls to hir belt. - That works.

[Mew] -Glides over to Glitchy and drapes around his shoulders like a scarf-

[Glitchy] Hey bud. -Pats the Mew's head affectionately-

[Deer] Dismounts and calls hers into their balls as well-

[Doc] Deerheart? Should I carry Yaunfen? Or do you want too?

[Deer] - Whichever you prefer, but I get the feeling you'll be busy wanting to pet everything

[CP] - Well, we're leaving

[Lie] - CP, don't be rude

[CP] - What?

[Doc] Thank you both for the emergency help. And thank you Cp for the boost. That was excellent thinking on the fly. Should I bring you anything for your pokemon? Gyms usually have a center and a shop nearby.

[CP] - Don't you dare

[Lie] - Only if you want to Doc

[Doc] Okay. Are you guys ready to go?

[Glitchy] I am. -returns his flareon to it's ball

[Silver] - Yeah

[Strangled] - Don't want to

[Deer] - Absolutely

[Doc] Oookay..... - Xe makes a hole in the wall and ushers them outside before closing it up again. It's dark and staticky in the null space, but the way isn't that far.

[Silver] Shifts nervously-

[Strangled] Groans-

[Doc] Reaches back to take Deerheart's hand and strides confidently into the dark.

[Deer] Glances back at the server, still getting nervous about leaving it-

[Doc] Gives her a little squeeze and kisses both her and the bitty dragon lightly-

-Glitchy follows Doc, humming slightly and checking to make sure Strangled and Silver follow

[Yaunfen] Squeaks and tries to gum Doc's nose-

[Doc] Ffft! Silly.

[Strangled] Grumbles the whole way-

[Doc] Keeps an eye on them so no one gets lost-

[Silver] Perks a little as they get closer to the pokemon game-

[Doc] Opens a portal into Pokemon Ruby and holds it for the others. They're on the outskirts of a town, there's lots of rock and lava everywhere. A few trainers are wandering around.

[Deer] Shifts around a little- This ground is really hot...

[Silver] - Here- Tosses Ponyta out- Ponyta is a fire pokemon, the heat won't affect them. Climb on

[Deer] - Thanks- She carefully climbs onto the the smaller equine pokemon's back, careful of it's mane

[Doc] Xe leans over a lava pool and washes hir face. - Ah, that's nice.

[Glitchy] Home sweet home.. -Looks around fondly-

[Silver] - Any of our games feel good

[Doc] Which version is yours Glitchy? And how are your eyes doing lately? They should be nearly if not all the way healed by now.

[Strangled] Stretches a little-

[Doc] Jumps suddenly as a small animal bites hir boot - OW! Fucker! - Xe pulls the galvantula ball from hir belt and the spider leaps from it, growling at the small animal.

[Glitchy] Red. And they're better, I haven't had any problems yet, although I think I might need to keep the glasses..

[Strangled] - Try going through that several times a day for years

[Doc] Good! Nothing wrong with glasses, they just make you look distinguished. - Xe copies the empty ball in hir hand and tosses it at the Trapinch.

[Trapinch] Vanishes into the ball with an irritated squeak-

[Doc] Anyone else need empties? - Pets the spider gratefully. -At Strangled- Yeah I can see how that would be annoying, but then we can't take a step outside at night without being mobbed by monsters either.

[Silver] Let's Sylveon out-

[Sylveon] Shakes itself before rubbing against Silver and wrapping a ribbon around Silver's wrist-

[Deer] - Do we want to get anything for TLOT and Steve?

[Doc] Maybe? I don't want to get all impulsive, they have plenty of responsibilities as it is. Come on guys, you should challenge some of these wandering yahoos.

[Silver] - I should reserve mine for the gym battle...

[Glitchy] I wouldn't mind fighting them...

[Deer] - I think I'd rather look around for now

[Doc] Okay, I'll go into town then. I want to visit their Pokemon center. I have an idea...

[Deer] - I'll go with

[Silver] - I'm coming! Glitchy, Strangled, do you want to meet us at the gym?

[Strangled] - Sure, why not

[Doc] Heads off down the little road, - Hey, they have hot springs here. That's nice.

[Deer] - We may have to come back again, bring Lie... Maybe have a girls day

[Ponyta] Snorts and shakes her head a little-

[Doc] Oh, that's a great idea! Let her Vulpix romp a bit too. Ah, here it is. Does anyone need healing? They do that here.

[Silver] - All mine are good for now

[Deer] - I think Shaymin has been keeping on top of things...

[Silver] - It's probably very low on PP, that allows it to use it's moves. You probably should have nurse Joy look at it

[Doc] Sounds good to me - Holds the door-

[Deer] Climbs off of Ponyta and steps through while Silver calls Ponyta back into the ball-

[Doc] Is already talking to someone near the stairs. -

[Silver] Motions for Deer to follow him and approaches the pink clad nurse behind the counter- Nurse Joy? We have a Shaymin here which needs a check up

[Joy] - A Shaymin? I've never heard of that

[Deer] Pulls Shaymin out-

[Joy] - Well, it's obviously a pokemon, let me take it to the back. We'll be back real quick

[Deer] - Alright...

[Doc] Vanished up the steps-

[Joy] Is gone for several minutes before returning with Shaymin- Here you go! They're all better! They were really low on PP. You may want to buy some ether to keep it up so it doesn't run so low again

[Deer] - Thank you, I understand

[Joy] Looks at Sylveon- I've never seen that variant of Eevee, what type is it?

[Silver] - Oh, this is Sylveon, they evolve from love

[Joy] - I see- She holds out treats for Shaymin and Sylveon- Well, enjoy your time here and stop by whenever you need anything

[Sylveon] Grabs both treats with a ribbon and hands one off to Shaymin before eating it's own-

[Doc] Comes back down with a huge grin- Xe passes three balls to the nurse with a respectful nod and waits while they're charged and returned to hir. One of the balls is now a moddled green and white instead of the usual red.

[Deer] - What is that one love?

[Doc] Lets go outside first and I'll show you. It's a bit indulgent but I couldn't resist trading that naughty Trapinch away. I got a bit involved wheeling and dealing and this one just seemed special.

[Deer] Nods in understanding and follows Doc outside while Silver follows both of them-

[Doc] Gives the ball a gentle toss and a bunch of large seeds appear in a cluster. Their faces run a gamut of emotions, but mostly relieved.

[Deer] - Eggs?

[Silver] - Why those?

[Doc] I don't know, they just caught my eye. They're apparently psychic too. Might be useful.

[Silver] Sighs-

[Deer] I think I'll go see what that hot spring is like...

[Doc] You have to have one to get rid of to start out, but the trading is fast as hell on the second floor. You could always catch a random thing and try to upsell it.

[Deer] - We'll see what I find

[Silver] Looks in the direction of the gym- I'm so glad I have the unknowns...

[Doc] What do they do? I mean, apart from help you get around when you didn't have limbs.

[Silver] - They would help protect me

[Deer] Has gone off to the springs-

[Doc] No, I mean what kind of moves do they have?

[Silver] - Hidden power, that's it

[Doc] Mysterious, I like it. Wanna help me name the eggs? They came with one, but I can fix it with an anvil tag.

[Silver] - You do realize they all become one creature, right?

[Doc] That's neat! Well, they all fit in one ball, I figured the result would just be something with several heads, maybe?

[Silver] - Yeah, looks like a tree

[Doc] A... tree?

[Deer] - Doc! I need you over here!

[Doc] Hmm? Oh! Deerheart! What is it?

[Deer] - I need a bit of help!

-There's a tan colored fish pokemon with blue fins desperately trying to get out of the hot water on the far side of the pool-

[Doc] Holy shit!- Xe spawns a bucket of water and wades in to scoop it up -

[Feebas] - Fee...

[Silver] Growls under his breath, his cold spreading out and cooling the water and causing more steam-

[Doc] We need to get this one to the center, stat! - Xe rushes back to the building with the bucket and clunks it on the counter- Little help please?!

[Joy] - Where did you find it!?- Her Chancy is already bringing out a stretcher

[Doc] In the hot springs!

[Joy] - Oh dear, we'll get it taken care of right away!- She rushes to the back with her Chancy

[Doc] Lets the other two pokemon out as xe paces and the Galvantula and Goomy sniff the Exeggcute curiously-

[Silver] Sits in a chair, listening and happens to overhear a conversation-

[MTrainer] - I can't believe that one guy was boasting about abandoning his Feebas!

[FTrainer] - I know! Poor thing, I know their pretty useless in a battle, but he still could have at least found it another home...

[MTrainer] - Hopefully he left it in a stream or somewhere safe...

[Silver] A small bit of ice forms around him-

[Doc] Gives a little hiss of irritation. - If they can't fix it, I will...

[Silver] - Nurse Joy can pretty much fix everything Doc.. We should speak to Officer Jenny though

[Doc] This game has police? They won't arrest us for trespassing right?

[Silver] - Yes it has police, and no, she won't arrest us, especially if we were saving a pokemon

[Doc] Goes to the counter and flags down a person - Can you call the police please?

[Person] - Oh, uh sure...- They call and briefly speak. Within minutes Officer Jenny enters the center

[Jenny] - I was told somebody here needed me?

[Doc] Yes, we found a fish pokemon abandoned in the hot springs.

[Jenny] - In the hot springs!? Did you see who left it there?

[Doc] No, but we rescued it. The nurse is working on it now. Some kind of brown and blue fish.

[MTrainer] - We saw who it was, he was bragging about leaving the Feebas

[Jenny] Goes over to the other trainers to get what information she can-

[Doc] I hope they throw the book at him, what a dick move.

[Jenny] After getting all the information- Alright, I'll alert my other cousins in case I somehow miss him, but I'm going to search the roads now. I'll have Joy update me later on the Feebas- She turns and leaves

[Doc] Good. -Turns to Silver- I'm glad you're good to your Pokemon, - hugs his shoulders- I'd give you so much shit if you weren't. Ha.

[Silver] - Never... Never... They become your family...- His ice is still having a bit of an effect

[Doc] Brr! - Xe turns hir glitch up like TLOT taught hir, there's a slight smell and a bit of the chairs plastic sags under the heat. -Oops.

[FTrainer] - Is somebody's Numel burning something?

[Doc] My bad! Sorry! - Pulls back to spare the furniture.

[Joy] Is absent from the counter for a few hours, luckily no trainers needing her come in. When she comes back out it's with a healthy looking Feebas- It was a little difficult, but we did it

[Deer] Enters the center having gone to the store to get some stuff and to distract herself while they were waiting for the Feebas-

[Doc] Love! Look! The little fish is all better. So glad you spotted them!-

[Deer] - Oh thank goodness!

[Joy] - Normally I'd say we'd wait for it's trainer to arrive, but that won't be an option here...

[Deer] - We'll take it, we have room on our teams

[Joy] - Are you sure?

[Doc] Of course. I only have these three and she only has two. - Xe pulls out a spare ball and hands it to Deerheart.

[Deer] Approaches the Feebas- Well, do you want to come with us?

[Feebas] Jumps a little and touches the ball, being pulled in-

[Deer] Smiles happily-

[Doc] I'll make some fish flakes while Silver is at the gym.

[Deer] - Good idea

[Silver] - I wonder where the others are...

[Doc] Most likely still doing random fights or catching things outside the town. They can't help you with the gym anyway, right?

[Silver] - No, I have to do all the fights by myself

[Doc] Well I can still help. - Xe takes out a potion and some healing slime and multiplies it. - Just to keep everyone's hearts full. They work on my pokemon, should be okay for yours too.

[Silver] - Ah, I think that counts as cheating...

[Doc] Can't you use potions to heal as you fight?

[Silver] - Well yes

[Doc] Then it's not cheating. Don't be silly.

[Phanpy] Wanders out and towards Glitchy and Strangled-

[Glitchy] A Phanphy... huh...

[Strangled] - You can fight it

-Glitchy lets out his shiny sneasel, which immediately moves toward the phanphy, claws raised-

[Phanpy] Uses tackle-

[Doc] Can we cheer for you Silver? Or is a solem thing?

[Silver] - I don't know... They may challenge you as well...

[Doc] Let em! I think we're good. You're the only one who needs the badge, we just have to survive.

[Silver] - But I still have to do all the fights, you can't help me with those

[Glitchy] Ice Punch.

-Sneasel gets hit with the tackle, and uses the closeness to try and jab the phanphy with a freshly ice coated fist-

[Doc] I know. You lead, we'll follow. This is your world.

[Phanpy] Tries growl-

[Silver] - Then let's go- Silver leads them out and heads towards the gym

[Sneasel] ...? -Head tilts a bit-

[Phanpy] Continues to use basic attacks-

[Sneasel] .... -Looks back at Glitchy and Strangled, gesturing at the Phanphy in a "Do I have to fight this?" manner-

[Doc] Enters the gym behind Silver and looks around. Hir pokemon are just bounding along beside hir-

[Silver] Puts his hand on his poke balls as he approaches the first trainer- Let's do this

[Doc] Deerheart... you should let yours out too, so they can watch. No one seems to care if they're loose anyway.

[Glitchy] At the very least weaken it so I can catch it, Tricks.

[Sneasel] Sneas! -Turns back to the Phanphy and starts attacking it, mostly with ice punch. Freeze that phanphy solid much?-

[Deer] - Oh, okay- She let's the Shaymin and Mudsdale

[Phanpy] Is considering running-

[Glitchy] -Tosses a simple Pokeball at the Phanphy-

[Phanpy] Is caught-

[Glitchy] -Picks up the ball and pets his sneasel's head- Good job.

[Strangled] - Can we go now?

[Silver] Starts his fight with the first trainer using Espurr, quickly winning- Good job Espurr!

[Doc] Does a little cheering for Silver but not so loud they'll be asked to leave. Their pokemon are similarly encouraging.

[Silver] Makes his way towards the next trainer, dropping down through boards and rising through vents-

[Doc] This building is crazy....

[Silver] Fights the next trainer, Espurr almost faints and so Silver changes it out for Sylveon who finishes the fight- Alright, just a few more

[Doc] Stay hydrated, it's hot in here!

[Silver] - I'm fine for now! What about you Sylveon?

[Sylveon] - Syl!

[Silver] Smiles and gives Sylveon some fresh water which heals it some-

[Glitchy] Are you bored Strangle? -Raises eyebrow at Strangled as he tosses the pokeball in his bag-

[Strangled] - These are small fry and you know it

[Doc] Keep it up! We believe in you Silver!

[Silver] Picks Sylveon up as they head for the next trainer-

[Exeggcute] Bounce and wiggle over to Deerheart, their little faces looking up at her and Yaunfen - Exxxe?

[Yaunfen] Is freaked out by the pokemon-

[Deer] - Yaunfen please, hold still, I don't want to drop you

[Glitchy] Duh, but it's not like we could go fight this game's Red.

[Glitchy] ... Could we? I mean... -Thoughtful look-

[Exeggcute] Spins back a bit in case the dragon falls off of her or something. -

[Doc] I think they're just curious. They can read minds after all.

[Strangled] - No! There's already enough of us as is

[Deer] Makes soothing noises at Yaunfen-

[Silver] - Has made it to the next trainer and starts the fight, Sylveon taking very little damage, but the fight is long

[Glitchy] It'd be interesting though... But you've got a point. We don't need to be Red Cubed. To the gym now?

[Strangled] - Yeah why not

-The first trainer has fully healed there pokemon at the center and returns-

[Trainer] - Are you guys here to fight for the badge too?

[Doc] Nah, we came to cheer our friend on. We're newbies at this sort of thing. We don't even have full teams.

[Trainer] - I see, well if you have any questions, feel free to ask

[Doc] Any tips on getting into a Shuppet's good graces? Or taking care of a Feebas?

[Trainer] - A shuppet? I'm not actually sure... But the dark pokemon gym may have some ideas

[Doc] Is there a place to buy a map?

[Trainer] - Maybe the general store? Most people just follow the routes, you eventually get where you're going

[Doc] Ah, well, it is nice countryside from what I've seen. Apart from the Trapinch's.

[Trainer] - Yeah they can get annoying, looks like your friend is at the last battle before the gym leader

[Doc] Awesome! Cripes I hope this goes perfectly, he really needs that badge.

[Silver] Is at the last trainer and has switched Sylveon for the unknowns-

[Trainer] - Why?

[Doc] I don't know, apparently they only have one move, but it's supposed to be something special.

[Trainer] - No, I meant why do they need the badge so badly

[Doc] Oh! Sorry! They have a higher level pokemon that won't behave since it evolved. Some kind of plant dinosaur thing. Deino.

[Trainer] Shudders- Those things are very aggressive...

[Doc] From what I've gleaned it's mostly because they're constantly hungry. They must metabolize crazy fast.

[Trainer] - Still, they cause a lot of damage...

[Doc] I put a helmet on it so it would stop bruising itself bumping into things too. -looks down- Well my team is just lounging. What are you carrying?

[Silver] Wins against the trainer and enters the gym leaders area-

[Goomy and Shaymin are laying on the Galvantula.]

[Trainer] - A Koffing and two Slugmas

[Doc] Can I see? Not trying to pick a fight, I'm just curious.

[Trainer] Shrugs- Sure- He lets his pokemon out

-The slugma's immediately head for the lava-

[Doc] Coughs a little because of the Koffings mist- Wow that's strong! OH! Don't go over there! You'll get hurt- Chases after the Slugma -

[Trainer] - They're fine, they like the lava

[Doc] Has already picked it up- Oh sorry! Well I'm warm too- Turns up hir heat again- Xe walks back with the slugma in hir hands-

[Trainer] - What are you doing!? They need to keep moving! They'll harden if they don't! That's why they head for lava, or any other heat source! It slows the hardening process down!

[Doc] Oh, But I'm super hot too, here- they stand in front of the trainer and the blistering heat is flowing off them like a fresh pool of lava-

[Trainer] - I don't care! Put my pokemon down!

[Doc] Sorry... here- Xe releases the little slug and steps back, already cooling down again. - I'm used to working with young creatures who go right for anything that will hurt them. Mom instincts...

[Trainer] Is ignoring Doc and checking his pokemon over. There's a loud boom overhead as Silver and the gym leader battle-

[Doc] Leans against Deerheart- I hope he's okay....

[Deer] - He'll be fine love

-After several tense minutes Silver emerges-

[Silver] - I won!- He shows the badge

[Doc] YES! - Xe grabs him and swings him around in a big hug, before putting him down again - So proud of you!

[Silver] - Thanks, should we see if the reds are here?

[Doc] Yes, I thought they'd be here by now, they must have gotten hung up with catching and fighting.

[Silver] Starts heading out of the gym- There they are!

[Doc] Guys! Look! Silver got his badge!

[Strangled] Is grumbling as he and Glitchy approach. He does perk at the news though- Really? That's great

[Glitchy] Glad to hear that. I caught a Phanphy and all Strangled did was stand around like a sudowudo..

[Strangled] Flips Glitchy off-

[Glitchy] You know it's true though

[Strangled] - Just shut the hell up

[Glitchy] Whatever -Rolls eyes-

[Doc] A Phanphy? Are you going to keep it, or trade it off?

[Glitchy] I’ll keep it. Even if it is underleveled.

[Silver] - Should we head back? Or go forwards?

[Person] Walks up holding a pair of googles - Who beat the gym? This is for them.

[Doc] What are they for?

[Person] So you can traverse the sandstorm outside the pass.

[Silver] - Sandstorm?

[Person] Yeah, there's a trader out there with some good stuff, I don't know why he won't come into town.

[Doc] Might be good to get something for Lie...

[Silver] - Okay, well I beat the gym, so I guess they're mine?

[Doc] Mind if I copy them?

[Person] Hands them to Silver-

[Silver] - Go right ahead

[Doc] Makes several copies and even puts a pair on Yaunfen before holding out the rest. - I'm up to trade at least.

[Strangled] Sighs- Fine- He takes a pair

[Doc] Blinks under the coke bottle lenses - Been a dogs age since I needed a pair of these, I feel all nostalgic. -giggles- I need a big lever to pull while shouting.

[Sneasel] Sneas! -Tries to grab Glitchy’s pair from his hands before he puts them on-

[Deer] Takes a pair as well-

[Silver] - You should probably put all your pokemon away...

[Deer] - Oh, okay

[Silver] Holds the goggles out of reach before putting them on-

[Doc] For their safety too, I wouldn't want anyone to get lost. - Xe pulls out a lead and starts making it longer before tying the end around Silvers waist. - We'll make a chain and stay on the road.

[Deer] Takes the rope and starts connecting everybody-

-Glitchy returns his sneasel to it’s ball-

[Doc] I know this isn't your game Silver, but you should still lead, if only because your team is the strongest. We can always exit back into the null space if it gets too nasty.

[Silver] - Oh look, Officer Jenny is back

[Doc] Hello Officer! Any news?

[Jenny] Is escorting an angry looking trainer- Oh hello, it's you guys again. How are you?

[Doc] Right as rain with two new pokemon and my friend here got a shiny new badge for his collection.

[Jenny] - Good, hey, would you do me a favor?

[Doc] Sure. What is it?

[Jenny] Motions to the trainer she's escorting- Well this is the guy who abandoned the Feebas and apparently it's not the only one he abandoned. Could you guys keep an eye out for a Ralts and a Vulpix?

[Doc] Of course, how far away were they dropped? We're headed out into the sandstorm.

[Jenny] - That's just it, they could be in the sandstorm, I found him exiting it since he didn't have any goggles...

[Doc] Got it. Do you want us to bring them back if we find them? Or do they need new owners anyway?

[Jenny] - They'll need new owners, he's having all his pokemon confiscated and redistributed to other trainers

[Doc] Ha! A fitting punishment for a bad pet owner. For shame.

[Jenny] - Anyways, please do be careful in the sandstorm and keep an eye out for those two pokemon

[Doc] Makes a little salute. - Of course. You guys ready?

[Silver] - Yeah

[Strangled] - If we must

[Deer] - Let's go

[Glitchy] Yep

[Doc] Ah, don't be so sour Strangled. I'd think some fresh air would do you good. You can't just hide in Silver's room forever.

[Strangled] - Oh shut up

[Doc] I'm still willing to be your friend. I'm sure Silver will vouch for me on that at least.

[Silver] - Come on Strangled, please?

[Strangled] - Fine... Whatever

[Silver] - Okay, let's go then- Starts leading them into the sandstorm

-The group tromps down a rocky path between two cliffs and the sand blows down from above until the reach the other end, where it's whirling in every direction over a dusty road and a flat plain scattered with rocks.

[Strangled] Perks as he hears some soft noises- There's something over there...

[Doc] As a group then. - moves with the others.

-There's a small crevice in the ground and a little bit of light can be seen down in it, the Raltz and Vulpix are down several feet. The Vulpix used ember to create some light-

[Doc] I can dig down to it. Unless someone has a flying Pokemon that can grab them?

[Mew] -Slides off Glitchy’s neck and glides halfway down to the Ralts and Vulpix-

[Glitchy] Guess Null has it.

[Mew] -Waves paws and the two pokemon are enveloped in bubbles, which float up with mew- Got them.

[Vulpix] Seems frightened and Raltz tries to calm it-

[Silver] - Poor things, I can't imagine what they've been through...

[Doc] Well you're safe now little ones. Do you want to come with us?

[Vulpix] Frightened noises-

[Deer] - Let me try something- She let's Shaymin out

[Shaymin] Releases healing energy-

[Vulpix] Calms a little-

[Deer] - I think that one will do best with Lie, I think having another Vulpix around might help this one

[Doc] Good idea Love.

[Person] Coming up the road. They're totally wrapped up with just goggles showing and a large backpack - Oh! Hello. Not used to seeing a group on the road, did you find something in the mirage rocks? Wow.... I've never seen those kinds of pokemon before. [He thinks Yaunfen is a Pokemon too.]

[Deer] - Oh, well, thank you

[Silver] - And you are?

-Mew returns to it’s perch on Glitchy’s shoulders-

[Sprig] I'm Sprig, I hunt fossils out here and sell or trade them to trainers.

[Strangled] - Not fossil pokemon...

[Sprig] What's wrong with fossil pokemon? They're lovely to display and pretty strong if you have someone revive them.

[Doc] There are fossils.....? - Is unbinding hir part of the rope.

[Strangled] Grumbles-

[Silver] - There are fossil pokemon in every game, Strangled actually has one...

[Doc] That's so cool! What is it? Is it a dinosaur?

[Strangled] - Fuck off

[Doc] So mean... - Xe takes out some gems - So... do you have any to trade? I love fossils.

[Sprig] I've got a Root fossil. Some kid came by earlier and got my other one. I need to go dig some more.

[Doc] Trade me for this? - Takes out a large sparkly diamond-

[Sprig] Jaw drop-

[Strangled] - Is that your solution for everything?

[Doc] Would you prefer I beat him up and took it?

[Sprig] Gulps -

[Doc] Gems are good currency in just about any game.

[Strangled] - Ugh

[Sprig] Makes a quick trade and hands Doc the dinner plate sized fossil. - Oh, I have to give this to Lie! It looks like a little plant!

[Deer] - So she'll be getting two new pokemon then

[Silver] - You still need to find someone to revive it

[Doc] You think I should? I was just going to give her the fossil as decoration.

-a wild shiny lunatone runs right into doc's back-

[Silver] - You know her better than I do

[Doc] Ah, you're right. I'll have someone revive it. If it's a plant thing it should go well with the rest of the contents of her greenhouse... What the?! There's something on my shoulders!

-lunatone seem to being having trouble in the sandstorm it doesn't seem for around this area-

[Doc] Lunges around trying to grab it-

-lunatone is grabbed but is panicking now not know what doc is trying to do-

[Deer] - Ah! Hold still love!- She looks at Shaymin who once again releases calming energy

-lunatone calms down thanks to the energy- Tone Tone

[Doc] It looks like a little moon?

[Sprig] That's a Lunatone! It must be super lost.

-lunatone uses it's blue eyes to look at doc-

[Doc] It's pretty isn't it? And we know someone who loves space, don't we?

[Deer] Giggles a little- Yes, yes we do

[Doc] Wanna come live with our friend? She has a Minior, a Serperior and a Mimkyu you can hang out with.

-lunatone make a kind of happy nod-

[Doc] Then it's a done deal - Xe taps the Lunatone with an empty ball and holds it out to Deerheart to carry. - I want to try something if you guys can wait for me for a minute.

[Deer] - Sure, do you want to ball the Vulpix and Raltz too?

[Doc] Oh! Sorry... Here, I can make lots of empties easily. - Xe multiples the item in hir hand and holds them out to share.

[Deer] With Silver's help, balls the two lost pokemon-

[Silver] Takes some for him and Strangled-

[Doc] Pulls out a diamond pickaxe-

[Sprig] A little too quickly - I have a magic flute, trade?!

[Doc] Huh? I guess? I can always make more tools. Here-

[Sprig] Pulls out the little flute and passes it before taking the pick with gusto-

[Doc] I can't play, but it's kinda neat anyway.

[Strangled] - I can take that for now if you want

[Doc] Sure, I need my hands free anyway. - Xe takes out another pick and starts chopping away at a nearby rock formation. The bitty pixels fly everywhere as the hunks of rock despawn-

[Strangled] - Wow... That's gonna be slow

[Sprig] They seem to be doing okay. Do you have a better idea?

[Strangled] Tosses one of his pokeballs and his Onyx emerges- Yeah, a faster one

[Doc] Jumps as the huge pokemon appears - WHOAH.

[Sprig] Bolts back into the storm-

[Strangled] - Onyx! Rock smash!- The pokemon begins smashing rocks

[Doc] Hey.... Thank you Strangled. That's really helpful.

[Onyx] Leaves whatever is found behind-

[Doc] Picks around in the rubble and gives a trimphant yelp- Look at this! - Xe runs back to them - It's got a little feather in it. I love it! You guys have such a cool home game.

[Silver] - Each one is different

[Doc] But still fun. So you said something about reviving them? Would it be easier to go to your game for that? Or a newer version so no one is weirded out by whatever this is?

[Silver] - There should be someone around here who can do it

[Doc] I'll hunt for a map online. Do you want to go on foot, or go out and come back into a different area manually?

[Silver] - Going out and then back in would probably be better

[Doc] Got it, give me a sec.... If you guys want to try for some random encounters, go ahead-

[Strangled] - Yeah not interested, Onyx? Come back- He pulls Onyx back into it's ball

[Doc] It looks like we need to find the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City and talk to a scientist on the second floor. That's good with me, this sand is chafing. - Xe makes a portal out and the sand despawns as it blows into the blackness beyond.

[Deer] Quickly steps through-

[Silver] Leads Glitchy and Strangled through-

[Doc] Makes another hole and they step out into a verdantly green area.

[Strangled] - Can we hurry this up?

[Silver] - Always impatient

[Doc] I didn't want to make a hole where anyone would see it. The city is just up the road. I think we can lose the rope now too.

[Strangled] Once everyone is free he loops it up for himself-

[Rival] Waiting at the gate, is super suprised to see the group- Uh...

[Silver] - Who wants to deal with him?

[Doc] Who is he?

[Strangled] - Can I kill him?

[Doc] Is that nessesary?

[Silver] - The rival of the protage

[Doc] So it would mess up the players game to kill him, right?

[Rival] Suddenly looks afraid.

[Strangled] - So?

[Glitchy] They can hear us, and you’re scaring them..

[Rival] There's uh.... Pokemon League gym in this town... -sweating

[Strangled] - Not interested

[Rival] Right... then I'll just.. just be going....

[Doc] That would be for the best I think.

[Rival] bolts-

[Doc] that was easy-

[Deer] - As much as I'm enjoying this, could we hurry a little love? I think I'm starting to get a headache...

[Doc] Oh, I'm sorry Deerheart. Here, have a healing potion- offers- I'll hurry it up. Let's find this scientist and book it.

[Deer] - Thank you

[Doc] Starts walking with the map open on hir gold carrot. No one else can see the small heads up as xe navigates the streets and stops in front of an office building.

[Silver] - Do you want any of us to go with you?

[Doc] Could you at least? You're more appropriately dressed for this game. As far as I know I'm asking for a favor.

[Silver] - Sure

-There are a few NPC's wandering around in the building-

[Doc] Heads for the second floor. Xe's carrying a fossil under each arm so it's obvious why xe's there-

[Silver] Follows, cautiously looking around-

[Scientist] - Hello there!

[Doc] Hi! - Xe's suddenly moved by the sight of someone in a labcoat that isn't barking mad or being shot at. Hir voice cracks a little- I... I need someone to wake these up for me?

[Scientist] - Sure, let me see them

[Doc] Gingerly hands over the fossils, Hir hand lingers on the surface of the feather one as it's taken.

[Scientist] Cleans them up a bit before putting them into a machine. It whirs to life and after a few moments there are two poke balls which the scientist hands over- Here you go

[Doc] Takes them gently - Is... there anything I should know? I don't even know what they are.

[Scientist] - Well, just open them and find out

[Doc] Presses the button on the first one and a purple and pink plant creature flops out.

[Lileep] Lileep?

[Scientist] - Oh cool! A Lileep!

[Doc] IT'S ADORABLE. Lie is gonna go nuts.

[Scientist] - Well let's see what's in the other one

[Doc] Hurredly hits the button and a ball of feathers flaps awkwardly to the floor. It's colorful and the face is like a dinosaur.

[Doc] Oh... this one is mine. Absolutely.

[Archen] Arch?

[Scientist] - That's an Archen

[Doc] It's so fluffy! Like a rainbow chicken with a fantail. I love it.

[Silver] - They are neat

[Doc] Is overwhelmed and hugs the scientist- Thank you!

[Scientist] - Your... welcome?

[Doc] It's just... damn... - lets go- It's so nice to see someone else doing this and... not getting the torches and pitchfork treatment. I'm moved... seriously. - wipes away a tear.

[Scientist] - What are you talking about?

[Silver] - Doc, maybe we should get going...

[Doc] We're travellers, where I come from... it's not so nice for scientists and doctors with more experimental methods... but yes, probably.

[Scientist] - Okay?- He seriously thinks Doc is insane

[Doc] Thank you again- Xe leaves quickly, practically running with a pokemon in each arm. - Deerheart! Glitchy! Strangled! Look at them! They're great aren't they?

[Glitchy] Yeah!

[Doc] Snuggles them - Aww. We should head back now, unless you guys have any objections?

[Doc] I can't wait to give Lie hers, Cp might punch me again, but I know she'll appreciate it.

[Deer] - There's always a chance of him punching you love

[Doc] True... He seems to take a special kind of enjoyment out of it... Anyway... - xe puts away the two pokemon and makes another portal- shall we?

[Deer] Happily walks through with the others following-

[Doc] Leads them back to the server with a minimum of fuss and closes the wall behind them. - it's fun going on little trips, but it's even nicer to be home.

[Deer] - Very much so

[Strangled] - Oh joy, back to this hell hole

[Doc] Strangled... Is there anything I can do to make you more at ease?

[Strangled] - Jut leave me alone- He starts walking off

[Silver] - Strangled...

[Doc] Silver? Do you think I should offer to just send him back to the mansion? He seems so determined to be miserable...

[Silver] Sighs- He's always like this, I'll talk to him in a little bit.

[Doc] Okay... But I know someone you should talk to now... - types out a quick update for Splender-

[Splender] Teleports over with Pinwheel- Yes?

[Doc] Guess what Silver did today!

[Splender] - What?

[Doc] Gives Silver a little nudge- tell him!

[Silver] - I... I got another badge...

[Splender] Switches Pinwheel to a tendril as he gasps happily and hugs Silver- OH HOW WONDERFUL!

[Doc] And it should get the Deino under control too. It evolved into something a bit more rambunctious.

[Splender] - Oh good, that's very good

[Doc] We've got some new little friends as well, a bird, a fish, a fairy, a fox, a plant critter, and Glitchy here got a teeny elephant thing.

[Splender] Another happy gasp-

[Doc] is letting hir Pokemon out to stretch and gestures for Deerheart to do the same. Only the ball with the Lileep stays closed.

[Deer] Let's all but the Feebas out- We should probably let Feebas out by the water

[Doc] I wonder... Do you think Stevie might like it? A fish is a pretty low-stress pet.

[Deer] - Stevie? Well it would be a second pet for him and Alexis...

[Doc] it's too big for her kitten to annoy it much...

[Deer] - That's true, and it might be good for him, I have a feeling that CP may have had a habit of killing his pets in the past...

[Doc] Just frowns- yeah... I'd mop the floor with him if he tried that shit now. Give Lie a call, Cp is probably sitting with Markus. No need for his bitching just yet.

[Deer] - Understood- She briefly concentrates and there's a quick response from Lie- She'll be here soon

[Doc] Silver? You gonna let yours out to play too? They did good today.

[Silver] - Oh, sure- He let's all of his pokemon out

[Doc] Is just petting and playing with all the critters, Yaunfen as well as the Pokemon.

[Lie] Arrives with her Alolan Vulpix- Hey, what do you guys need?

[Doc] We come bearing gifts! But Deerheart should go first. She has something for you.

[Deer] Smiles and hands Lie a pokeball- This one is kinda timid, it's former trainer was a bit abusive

[Lie] Gives Deer a curious look before pressing the button on the ball letting the normal Vulpix out- Oh, hello there little one

[RVulpix] Makes a scared little noise and cowers-

[AVulpix] Jumps down from Lie's arms to investigate-

[Doc] just like our little floofs... One red and one white, aww.

[AVulpix] Sniffs at RVulpix who whines a little-

[Lie] - Poor thing seems terrified...

[Doc] Ah I think that will change, they just need love, and the low resolution may be freaking them out a bit too.

[Lie] - Yup- She's crouched down to be closer to the pokemon's heights

[Doc] Lie.... I had the most amazing experience!

[Lie] - Oh?

[Doc] We got some fossils and took them to this really clean cut place, like an office almost, but with scientists everywhere, and it wasn't bombed out or anything! There weren't even people with guns around anywhere!

[Doc] And I gave this really polite, calm one, the fossils, and he put them in a big whirring machine and brought them back to life! And nobody got mad, or hurt, or anything! They just acted like it was a totally normal thing to do! I almost cried...

[Lie] - Doc that's wonderful!

[Doc] is super giddy- Look what I got! It's a little dinosaur-bird! An Archen! Isn't it great?!

[Archen] Flaps it's little wings like a chicken - Ar-ar-ar!

[Lie] - It's adorable Doc!

[AVulpix] Jumps around trying to get the other to play-

[Doc] Lie.... I found one for you too... I traded a man gems in a sandstorm for it. I was going to leave it just as a fossil for decoration, but given the opportunity to bring it back to life... I couldn't resist. - Offers the ball to Lie.

[Lie] Curious, she opens the ball, letting the Pokemon out-

[Lileep] Pops out, waving it's skinny pink tendrils in confusion. It's obviously a plant, but moving like a small animal on tiny nub legs at the bottom of it's stem. - Lileep! ep? ep?

[Doc] I think it might need a lot of watering. But it's pretty vigorious.

[Archen] Is fluttering around and manages to land on Galvantula

[Galvantula] Just crackles a bit.

[Lie] - Duly noted, it's a cutie

[Silver] Watches as Sylveon cautiously approaches the vulpix's-

[Doc] Does Evee begin as a dog type Silver?

[Silver] - Hm? Oh, yeah

[Doc] As long as everyone plays nice, I guess that's the important thing. You know.... it wouldn't be a bad idea to arrange some play days for all the Pokemon on the server. Just to keep them socialized and in shape. I wouldn't mind going out into the wilds of one of the games as a group either just to train a bit on wild encounters and random trainer battles.

[Silver] - I'm not sure how well it would work since it is a single player game

[Doc] Maybe on your glitched version? Would that help any? I mean, as long as we stay away from Lavender town?

[Silver] - Maybe... And the big four would be a no go too...

[Doc] No, of course not. I don't want to beat the game, but I know my Joltick wasn't the only one that could evolve. And they seem scrappy. I don't want them getting bored and picking fights randomly.

[Deer] - Love, I still have Lunatone... If you take Yaunfen I'll take the Lunatone to Gem

[Doc] Of course! Let me have our little one- holds out hir arms for the dragon

[Deer] Passes Yaunfen over before heading off to find Gem-

[Lie] - Deer wait, I'll come with you

[Deer] - Alright

[Lie] Carefully she picks up the Lileep and her new Vulpix while the Alolan version follows behind her-

[Deer] And Lie pass Lie's house where she mentally checks on CP before taking a couple of Lie's horses the rest of the way to Gem's place. Once there. Deer knocks on the door- Gem? Aven? BEN?

[aven] -opens the front door- hey guys

[Deer] - Hello Aven, how's BEN and Hyrule?

[aven] ben is protective as always and still mad about hyrule's first word and hyrule got a fairy to protect him. so what brings you guys out here?

[Deer] - We went on a little outing with the pokemon trainers to help Silver, they apparently needed a different badge to control one of their pokemon. We got something for Gem as well

[Lie] - I'm just along for the visit

[aven] well gem is with her pokemon right now in there rooms you can get there though the horse pen.

[Deer] - Thank you, do you want to come with us?

[aven] sure -walks out side and closes the door behind her-

[RVulpix] Is shaking in Lie's arms-

[Lie] - Shhh, it's okay, your safe

[Deer] Motions for Aven to lead since she's still not too familiar with the layout of their home-

[aven] -goes back down to where the horse pen then heads in there is a door on the back wall and stairs with fences on the front wall aven leads them down those steps gem is in the middle of the room playing with her pokemon-

[Lie] - Hello Gem!

[gem] oh hello lie hello deer.

Deer] - We have something for you Gem- She holds out the pokeball

[gem] a pokemon? -takes the pokeball then lets them out-

[lunatone] -pops out- luna?

[gem] -makes a little squee noise- a lunatone thank you so much!

[Deer] - It was caught up in a sandstorm and lost, it literally flew into Doc

[gem] awe the poor thing -offers lunatone a berry which it happily takes-

[Lie] - Something was mentioned about my new vulpix having been in a bad situation?

[Deer] - Yeah, an abusive trainer who left it for dead in the same sand storm where we found Gem's new pokemon. It's why it's so scared

[gem] the poor thing do you want a berry to offer it?

[Lie] - That probably isn't a bad idea

[gem] -hands lie some berries-

[Lie] Offers one to the vulpix and it shies away- This is going to take some work...

[mimikyu] -comes over to the vulpix- mimik?

[Rvulpix] Squeaks and hides it's face while it's counter part eagerly jumps around Mimikyu-

[mimikyu] -playfully chases after the aloan vulpix-

[Lileep] Watches curiously-

[serperior] -gets closer to lileep- ser?

[Lileep] Sniffs at Serperior-

[Lie] - Well at least the pokemon are having fun

[serperior] -sniff's back-

[gem] they sure are -minior and lunatone are running around gem-

[Deer] - Doc was just mentioning how they wanted to create some pokemon playdates

[gem] that wouldn't be a bad idea they could all get together and play

[Lie] - And we'd get some time to just watch them

[gem] where are we going to do that or have we not decided?

[Lie] - Nothings really been decided yet

[gem] well do let me know if anything is I am sure these guys would love to all play

[BEN] - AVEN! HYRULE IS PUKING AGAIN!

[aven] -goes running up the stairs to help ben-

[Notch] is half-asleep and groans in irritation as his phone starts buzzing again-

[CP] - Oh for fucks sake what now?

[CP] - Reaches over to grab the phone-

[Jeb] Markus? I Think it's safe to talk now if you want. Dare I ask how things are going?

[CP] - Well it's been an interesting addition asshole

[Jeb] shit... Hi-hi- Cp... What's wrong?

[CP] - Well the brine you gave us was the one that originally gave Doc their glitch

[Jeb] I... I didn't know! Is that bad?!

[CP] - At first, but I think we've gotten him at least a little calmed down...

[Jeb] Oh, that's good. I mean, I know he's probably a handful or they wouldn't have put him down for deletion, that's pretty damn rare. But you especially are so damn op I didn't think it would be an issue.

[CP] - Had to trap him in a dream for a bit

[Jeb] ... You can do that? That's kinda terrifying...

[CP] - Oh yes, and you can only leave them once I allow you to

[Jeb] is frankly terrified - I- I see.. Um.. Is Markus okay? Since you answered his phone....

[CP] - He's a bit preoccupied... And bed ridden...

[Jeb] Bed-ridden?! Why? What's wrong with him?!

[CP] - Eh, he's just transitioning from physical to digital

[Jeb] you say that like it isn't equal parts magic and total impossibility...

[CP] - He's not the first, though he hasn't received as much help as Lie

[Jeb] I believe you... It's just... Damn. Is he just stuck there now?

[CP] - No, I can still bring him back into the physical world, He'll just have to go through immense amounts of pain to regain his physical form

[Jeb] So probably stuck. Geeze.... What an ironic fucking fate... Will he at least get some weird powers out of the deal?

[CP] - Don't know, but he has had his blood replaced with that of several brines

[Jeb] Several?! I can't even... Wait, are you the one that's actually taking care of him?

[CP] - Stevie and I are sharing responsibility for that... My wife's idea

[Jeb] Oh, well... Take care of him okay? We fight a lot, but we used to be pretty good friends. Is there anything I can do?

[CP] - The fucking hell should I know? Unless you want me to drag you back in

[Jeb] No! I mean... no thank you... Sir. I gotta go. Give him my best.

[CP] - Whatever- He then hangs up and tosses the phone back onto Notch

[Notch] Rings the little bells - from what I did hear you handled that nicely. Thank you Cp.

[CP] - HOW FUCKING LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AWAKE!?

[Notch] Blinks at the sheer volume - just a few minutes.... I didn't feel like talking to him.... When I already feel this shitty.

[CP] Grumbles and looks at the time- You hungry yet?

[Notch] Maybe? I... could try something thin.

[CP] - Let me go see what we have- He goes upstairs and rummages through the food trunk until he finds some plain broth which he suspects Doc left for them which he takes to Notch

[Hope] Peeks into the workroom and mews-

[Notch] Gives the flowers another little shake before forcing himself to sit against the wall and take the bowl. - thank you

[CP} - Whatever

[Hope] Trots over and jumps onto the foot of Notch's bed-

[Notch] Takes the broth in careful sips until there's only a skim on the bottom, he offers the little bit to the cat-

[Hope] Licks at the bowl, purring-

[Notch] Good kitty

[CP] Twitches at the phrase-

[Notch] Sweet little thing, I thought I saw Doc leave with some of the creepypastas over the chat a while ago. Is everything alright?

[CP] - They came back so I'm guessing so

[Notch] Did I miss something?

[CP] - Not much then a bunch of fighting with the new brine

[Mb] Has gotten bored and is listening quietly below one of the windows.

[Stevie] Enters the workroom- Brother? I'm back

[CP] - About fucking time

[Notch] Thank you for standing up for me, your brother too. I'm proud of you both.

[Stevie] - What did I do?

[Notch] Sometimes just standing your ground says volumes.

[Stevie] Is a bit confused but just accepts it-

[CP] Stretches- Well, I'm off to find my mate

[Notch] Sinks back down on the bed in obvious pain.

[Stevie] - Ah, father, if you'd waited a moment I would have helped you!

[Notch] it's okay, just.... I just need to sleep...

[Mb] is waiting for Cp to come outside.

[Stevie] - Then rest father, I'll watch you for now

[CP] Teleports outside to the top of his tree, trying to sense where Lie is-

[Mb] swears softly and tps up just below him before poking him in the ass roughly with a stick from below-

[CP] Growls- What?!

[Lie] Is already coming back with Deer so Gem can bond with her new pokemon-

[Mb] Tps above Cp and gives him a hard whack in the head with the staff

[CP] Growls and immediately takes off after Mb-

[Mb] Is obviously enjoying himself and leads Cp on a merry chase around the yard before tripping him with a quick teleport.

[CP] - I WILL FUCKING PUT YOU BACK IN A DREAM!

[Mb] Turns around and tosses a second staff in front of Cp before bracing to fight him.

[CP] Easily grabs the staff and jabs at Mb-

[Mb] Does a little spin, evading and swinging for Cp's feet-

[CP] Jumps over the staff and aims for Mb's head-

[Mb] Takes a glancing blow and jabs at Cp's stomach. He's grinning madly all the while -

[CP] Grabs the staff with his hand and attempts to yank it from Mb's grip-

[Mb] Goes with Cp's momentum and aims a fist at his jaw in an uppercut-

[CP] Dodges, but it's still a glancing blow-

[Mb] Does a turn and tries to sweep Cp's leg-

[CP] TP's out of range-

[Mb] Kicks the corner of the barn instead and the cats scatter in fright into the yard.

[CP] - You fucker! Leave my wife's animals alone!

[Mb] Next time stay still and I'll kick you instead! Ha!

[CP] Lunges at Mb-

[Mb] Throws a punch at Cp's face-

[CP] Takes a blow as he throws a punch of his own-

[Mb] Gets hit hard in the eye but does the same to Cp, the two roll in the dirt punching eachother-

[Lie] Spots the two brines as she rides up- What is going on here!?

[Mb] Stops for a second- We're fighting! What the fuck do you think?

[Lie] - NOT AROUND MY ANIMALS!

[Mb] Oh now it has to be a certain spot?! LAME.

[Lie] - I will not have you scaring my animals! Now stop

[Mb] Tps away from Cp - Wouldn't want to get you in trouble with the little woman. Ha.

[CP] Growls at Mb-

[Lie] Sighs- Well at least this time your body is intact...

[Mb] Can't have any fun at all around here. And what's with all the cute fucking animals everywhere?

[CP] Notices the new pokemon- Why are there more?

[Lie] - Doc brought them for me

[Mb] Spawns a stair block and sits down to watch what he senses wil be an entertaining explosion.

[CP] - THAT FUCKER!

[Mb] Sniggers-

[Lie] - CP calm down, the new Vulpix was abused and I don't want you to scare it even more

[Mb] What about the purple thing?

[Lie] - It's an ancient pokemon

[Mb] It's weird.

[CP] Sighs in irritation-

[Mb] Doc was at the spawn last I saw...

[CP] - I'll be right back

[Lie] - CP stay

[Mb] Is ready to follow Cp-

[CP] - But I want to beat the crap out of them!

[Lie] - No CP, come on, let's go inside

[CP] - Why?

[Lie] - Because maybe I'll give you something

[Mb] Is grinning hugely at Cp getting bossed around, it's basically a consolation prize.

[Lie] Sends him a mental burst of what she means and CP grins-

[CP] - Oh fuck yes I can get behind that

[Mb] Just fades into the shadows. Somewhat annoyed.

[Deer] - Doc? CP's gotten into another fight

[Doc] Is basically laying on the ground playing with the pokemon and their dragon- Huh? Is he hurt?

[Deer] - I don't know, but it was him and Mb

[Doc] Well they did agree that that was going to be a regular thing. But I also know he won't ask for help if he's hurt-

[Deer] - Should we go check on them?

[Doc] I guess so. Come on guys, we're going for a walk.

[Deer] Takes Doc's hand as they walk-

-They're basically being followed by a crowd of pokemon and Doc is carrying Yaunfen-

[Doc] What a lovely day.

[Deer] - Of course it is, why wouldn't I make it so for you?

[Doc] You have no idea how warm and fuzzy that makes me feel. But you know me, I like it when it rains too. A cozy storm, us curled up by the fire- purrs

[Deer] - Maybe this evening

[Doc] Such a smitten face- I love you.

[Deer] Kisses Docs cheek- I love you to

-Lies house comes into sight and everything seems quiet-

[Mb] Slips out of a shadow - Don't bother. He's inside, with his wife tending his wounds.

[Doc] Shit... I should still check on him then, just in case Lie needs help.

[Deer] - Knowing how CP is with injuries? I agree

[Lie] Is walking CP across the bridge to their room-

[Doc] Yells up- Lie? Do you need any help with Cp?

[Lie] - No, we're good

[CP] - Fuck off asshole

[Doc] Well then....

[Deer] - Are you sure CP? [CP] - I'm fine!

[Doc] Chuckles-

[Lie] - Really Doc, he is this time, he just had a slightly black eye and it's already gone
