[OOC] Pokemon: Storm

[Balthazar007]

So@Balthazar007 wasn't sure if foresight applied to like... Mimi's vision only or if someone used foresight, all Pokemon could see it. I try to keep as close as possible to the games, and i know that it affects the opponent regardless of what pokemon uses it.

The Japanese translation is 'Mind Read' so I'm thinking that only Mimi can see the opponents clearly, versus the rest of the Pokemon in the room. But Kovi has compound eyes and I figured, would be able to adjust to the darkness more than other Pokemon or something.

I decided not to control the thieves because honestly I think it's funner if you do, hope that's okay! So you can maybe determine whether the attacks hit or not or what Pokemon the thieves have. I kinda want to like... just be surprised with their next move, if that makes sense. XD

@prettydrops

That works for me. I want to be highly involved in this little exchange. I'll make my next post tonight before bed. I work a double tomorrow and probably won't be able to post again till Sunday morning. Hopefully, @iKatamalicious gets a few posts in on these thieves.

@prettydrops

I read this before actually reading your IC post. You did control the thieves a bit. If you read the last paragraph of my post, you'd see that getting in and out without being noticed was their plan, regardless of who was in the room with them. They shouldn't have been surprised by the "three kids" being in there, and they definitely shouldn't have needed hostages.

I'm not asking you to change anything however. I can roll with this. I'll just have the two you spoke for be "less intelligent lackeys". I'm going to have the third thief (the leader of the group) scold them for loosing their cool and deviating from the plan. He's going to order a retreat with whatever they already have in their bags (which is about half the exhibit, the most valuable half).

@Balthazar007

I'm super sorry about that! I kind of have a fever going on.l so I'm fuzzy with details.. are you sure you don't want me to edit it? I don't mind!

Edit: seriously I feel so bad. I can't believe I missed those details. Are you positive you don't want me to edit it?

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops

Don't feel bad. It's not that big a deal. If it was, I would have asked you to edit it. Besides, I've grown attached to the new direction that was created. Lol

Just stay vigilant going forward. And never take my criticisms personally. They're meant to be constructive, not destructive. :)

[TheForgottenArc]

Hey guys sorry for the absence but I'll be gone a couple more days it my birthday tommarow and I'd like to send it with the family.

[TheForgottenArc]

Hey guys happy holidays and again sorry for the delay I should be able to get a post up after new year's.

[jujube]

Yep hope everyone had a wonderful christmas!

[Balthazar007]

@TheForgottenArc@iKatamalicious@prettydrops

Happy New Years Everyone!

[jujube]

Hope everyones doing well! Just wanted to pop in and say im still present :)

[TheForgottenArc]

Whew, my PC just came in. I'll be able to post again ASAP, sorry for the wait computer broke abit ago and couldn't post.

[Balthazar007]

@TheForgottenArc@iKatamalicious@prettydrops

I finally got a post up. Sorry to hold everyone up. If ya'll want to battle, your characters are going to have to give chase immediately.

[jujube]

@Balthazar007 woohoo!

Is this going to be a showdown battle, then?
I just want to make sure I don't mess up like last time. X]

Edit: not to nitpick arc, but if the thieves are already close to the door, wouldn't it be difficult to come in front of the door and the thieves, especially with a slower Pokemon like grotle?

[TheForgottenArc]

@prettydrops While though he's not much bigger than a person, Grotle would be able to cover more ground than Dan, also, I might not have mad this clear but Daniel did throw it a far ways, those Poke balls always seemed pretty lightweight to me.

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc

Also, the third man had to hold the door open while the other two struggled to run. So there's time to catch the door right before it closes.

EDIT: Oh, I see you were trying to stop them from getting out the door with your Grotle. Sorry, not going to let that fly. If ya'll want to battle them, you're going to have to make it out the door to the outside. I'm putting up my next post now.

[Balthazar007]

@Balthazar007 woohoo!

@prettydrops

Each one of you three will have to battle one of the thieves, granted you stop the door from closing and give chase. And yes, I'd like to have showdown battles.

Each thief will use three Pokemon each, all at level 20. Right now, two of the thieves have revealed one of their Pokemon. One Mr. Mime and one Octillery. I'll leave it up to you all to decide who you will be facing. The rest of their Pokemon won't be revealed until you battle them in Pokemon Showdown.

If for some reason one of you does not want to use Showdown, that's okay. Just let me know, and we'll work something out.

@prettydrops

I'm good for anytime today (with enough notice). Not available tomorrow. Available again Sunday morning. Not Monday. And then available Tuesday evening till the end of next Friday.

[jujube]

@Balthazar007 wasn't sure if we could decide whether the door stayed open or not so i left it for you to decide!

[iKatamalicious]

I'll just wait for Balth's reply / decision on if the door was left open or not before I post again, if that's alright?
I am here and present though, so I figured I'd leave a little message to let everyone know.

I hope everyone's holidays were nice!

@prettydrops

@iKatamalicious

The thieves are outside. I don't care what happens with the door now. I suggest everyone get out the door, then we can worry about what happens next. The door isn't that big a deal. :)
