Session 1

Day 1

The adventure starts as four humans wake up as Pokémon in the Sacred Forest.  Upon waking up, they realize that they have woken up around a shattered statue. Three wake up but the fourth remains asleep. Being a Flabébé, the asleep party member was easily attached to the tail of the Alolan Vulpix party member. Accompanying a Cleffa claiming to be from a nearby Guild, the humans-turned-pokemon ventured through the Sacred Forest searching for an exit. Upon reaching the exit, the group was attacked by a swarm of Beedrill. The group was quickly taken out and knocked unconscious, but was saved by two silhouettes using some sort of Psychic energy to dispel the Beedrill. 

Upon waking up (except for the Flabébé who has not yet woken up) the group sees that they are in some sort of building and are surrounded by Pokémon. Cleffa greets them and then brings two Pokémon, Tyrogue and Salandit, to escort them to the Guildmaster’s Room. The group enters and is greeted by two Meowstic by the names of Stella and Sterling. The two claim to have saved the party from further damage by the Beedrill. They tell the party that the Guildmaster wishes to speak with them. Unfortunately, the Guildmaster has fallen asleep. The Meowstic poke the Guildmaster until they eventually wake up and turn around in their chair. The Guildmaster reveals their self to be a shiny Ribombee by the name of Hibbee. Hibbee welcomes the party to their guild and then offers them a spot as a rescue squad, saying that by helping the guild out, they will have a roof over their heads, a meal once a day, and a community of fellow Pokémon. The party accepts and is then led back to their sleeping quarters by Stella and Sterling.

Upon reaching their room, Stella uses Psychic to throw all the party members against the wall and threatens them that if they do anything to hurt the Guild or the Guildmaster, that they will be punished and pay. She also tells them that they are currently investigating why the party was in the Sacred Forest around the time the Statue was vandalized. Stella finishes by telling them all that if the guild were not in need of a tenth rescue squad, they wouldn’t even have been accepted entry into the building. Sterling apologizes to the group for Stella’s behavior but expresses similar concern for the group’s relation to the broken Statue. They then leave but the party is then visited by the six guild workers, Tyrogue (General Help), Salandit (General Help), Exca the Excadrill (Job Posting), Alolan Diglett (Sentry), Cleffa (Assembly), and Igglybuff (Assembly). After quick introductions, the group is left alone to sleep for the night. In the morning, they will explore the rest of the guild as well as the nearby town, Treasure Town. 

What lies in store for our adventurers? Will Flabébé ever wake up? Are new friends and teammates on the horizon? Why are they all Pokémon? Find out next time on PMDnD!

Session 2

Day 2 

The day starts as the four humans-turned-pokemon wake up in their Guild bedroom. Cordelia the Flabébé is finally awake and starts ordering the others to stop this “sick joke” otherwise she’ll have them all tested in the lab. There isn’t much time for much banter as Tyrogue, Salandit, and Stella bring in Avery the Scraggy, who apparently just woke up near the statue the others work up around. The five talk about their current situation and how they all used to be humans and don’t know what’s going on. Cleffa appears once again, and takes the group to the main hall for the daily briefing and reception. 

When they get to the main hall, they see a large amount of Pokemon there. Among them are familiar faces from the night before, such as Hibbee, who introduces them to the rest of the guild. The group heads to the dining hall to get their meal for the day and meet Team Amie, a Bronze Rank team here at the guild. Their leader, Bailey the Bayleef, introduces herself to the group along with her teammates, Pixie the Spritzee, and Mina the Emolga. Soon after this, Sterling approaches the group and offers to give them a tour of the facilities and of Treasure Town. Before they can go that much further through the facilities however, some guild members purposefully bump into them. They introduce themselves as Team Ultima and say that they’re here to become the top rescue squad at this guild, and that any other weaklings better not try to get in their way. The leader, Atlas the Gible, introduces himself alongside his teammates, Kiki the Furret, and Slippy the Poliwhirl.After this rude introduction, the team is led to the job board by Sterling and given an explanation on how jobs and ranks work in the guild. However, it seems that all of the jobs except for one has been left for the team to fulfill. It seems to be grunt work, as it’s a job finding food and water for the guild. Atlas the Gible smirks as he passes by the team realizing this is the only job available to them. 

Sterling accompanies the group through Treasure Town where they meet a variety of characters, including: Ricc the Scrafty (*Owner of Scrafty Storage), Lucy the Klefki (Owner of Klefki Appraisal), Sable and Mabel the Sableye Sisters (Owners of Sableye Market), Dewey the Delibird (Owner of Delibird Bank and Lottery) who gives them each 50 pokecoins, and Fluffy the Arcanine and his Growlithe possy (Police of Treasure Town). They stumble upon the final building, a dojo in the shape of all three Hitmon evolutions, called the Hitmonbrojo. The group enters with Sterling and is rudely greeted by the Hitmonbros themselves. Sterling vouches for the group saying that as guild members, they should be able to train at the dojo, because the dojo in the past has always worked alongside the guild. The Hitmonbros refuse, saying that they need to be at least Bronze Rank or higher to train at the Brojo. Sterling, angry, leads the group out, planning on telling the guild master about this exchange. 

Before they get away from the Brojo however, a circular silhouette is seen floating behind the Brojo’s entrance. Upon returning to the guild, the team takes the remaining job of fetching water and food for the rest of the guild and talks to Hibbee. Hibbee tells them all that if they succeed in this job, then they’ll all receive a special mission. Before Hibbee can elaborate however, Tyrogue comes in crying and Hibbee sends out the group for privacy. The group hears Tyrogue say “it’s my brothers” before leaving the room.They now prepare for their first actual job as a rescue squad. 

Will this first job go off without a hitch? Why was Tyrogue crying about his brothers? What was that circular silhouette inside the Brojo? Will the group come up with a name for their rescue squad before the day’s end? All these questions and more to be answered, next time on PMDnD!
