@iKatamalicious@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc

I've pushed the timeline forward two hours due to @TheForgottenArc's latest post. And speaking of that post...

... I decided to ask Zvi for training tomorrow since I've reached my level cap today (If I got a level for everyone for training) I hope it was at least tolerable because despite being long I just felt off while writing it, so sorry if its crappy.

@TheForgottenArc

... of course your Pokemon may gain a level for training. Also, I've removed daily level caps. Now, it just has to make sense that your Pokemon have enough energy to train. After two hours of training, I'd say they need six hours to recover (or a potion, or a pokecenter visit).

Also, don't feel bad about a post. We are doing this for fun and to improve our writing. Mistakes are a necessary part of the process.

I'll get a post up in the morning for Zvi.

Ban the Person above you

Banned for the people's sake.

@TheForgottenArc i think... sinnoh's eterna forest. It's gorgeous and mysterious and just a teeny bit creepy.

@Balthazar007i pm'd her telling her what indigo would do and we worked out how the battle would go so def no godmodding involved at all. Thanks for checking in! Also, i like the idea of the breeder being a babysitter-esque character. If anything, i guess it just helps to make it convenient for the rival to show up around the same time as everyone else. Ill get started on a sheet!

@prettydrops

Cool. With that in mind, every Pokemon involved in your battle (all six / three from each trainer) can gain one level and need about 3 hours of game-time rest before battling at full power again (or a potion/pokecenter visit.)

If you decide to battle with a not-rested Pokemon via Pokemon Showdown, their level will be temporarily lowered according to how tired they are (at my discretion).

I wanted to quickly ask everyone here, what is your favorite theme from any of the pokemon games?
Personally, my favorite theme has to be from Pokemon Black version, The Driftveil City theme.

@TheForgottenArc

I don't have a favorite theme, sorry.

Also, my latest post is short, I know. Goes to show how little you should beat yourself up over short posts. You can find Zvi's character sheet now.

@prettydrops@iKatamalicious
It also doesn't have anything to do with Indigo or Margo because I didn't see a need. You're back and forth engagement seemed fluid enough.

I'm going to be able to post more regularly for the next few days again. I don't work again until Sunday, at which point, I'll be back to doing doubles. That is my new schedule: work very hard in a short spurt so that I may have more days off in a row.

Good writing everyone!

"Hey, I'm Dan...." He said cautiously worried that the little ball of energy might start screaming again. Dan looked at the farmland below and studied it for a second. All the crops and others swishing in the wind, it was actually kind of pretty, a change from the city that's for sure. He looked back at the boy and said "What was that screaming about?"

@TheForgottenArc

Zvi laughed softly at Daniel's question as he looked down to the scene below, a pensive look in his eye. "I felt like yelling... So I did..." He then turned back to Daniel and smiled wide. "You should try it. You'll feel better."

Pokemon: Storm

Did you (@iKatamalicious) clear everything in your last post with @prettydrops? I hope you both talked via PMs about how the battle would go. OR did you use Pokemon Showdown?

Otherwise, your post was very god-mody.

Pokemon: Storm

Hey Balth I went ahead and described the inside of the gym, I hope it's ok? I wasn't really sure if there was something you specifically had in mind... I can edit if need be, though!

@iKatamalicious

There is no need to edit anything, but at the same time, I feel like you left the area feeling a little barren. I picture the training area to be a mixture of Earth and Grass types. There should be more plant life than what you described. Again, nobody needs to edit anything. I'm picturing some patches of grass in the room as well as some modest shrubs and small trees. In other words, the reason why plants weren't mentioned in your posts is because they weren't flowers or anything eye catching; they're just plain green vegetation.

I was also wondering, should Margo also have a rival since Dan and Indy do?

@iKatamalicious

ooh, actually, i was thinking of adding my own npc just for fun. if it's okay with @iKatamalicious and @Balthazar007 i'd like to drum up a profile for a breeder rival! since the character would only be popping up on occasions (maybe travel with jack and jill, even) I think I could handle it!

@prettydrops

I don't feel like Margo NEEDS a rival, but if you WANT a rival, that can be arranged. Prettydrops can create this character if they want, BUT I don't want that character to travel with Jack and Jill. Those two are too close to one another and too jaded by others to allow someone to travel with them... unless we can find a VERY GOOD REASON why they would let someone travel with them. One idea that comes to mind would be that one of their parent's assigned this "other" person to travel with them (sort of as a babysitter / guardian).

And @TheForgottenArc: Sorry I haven't given this new character a sheet yet. That will be in my next post which I'm working on now. It will be up within two hours or less.

Work has been hellish the last few days. Double shifts every day. But I don't work this evening. I should be able to catch up then. If not, then definitely Wednesday because I'll have the whole day off.

Pokemon: Storm

@TheForgottenArc

I'm going to post a character sheet for Zvi tomorrow morning.

Pokemon: Storm

He was going to get an earful, whether he decided to battle her or not, as they walked to the city's gym.

@iKatamalicious

@prettydrops

The walk from the Pokemon Center to the Gym was fairly quiet. Soft clouds of dirt stirred with each step. They had to stop along the way to ask directions from a group of children playing with a soccer ball. Finally, they arrived.

Just as Indigo reached for the front door, it was pushed open from the inside. He recognized the two people that walked out...

It was Jack and Jill. Jill spoke for the both of them. "Hey, there! I remember you. Are you here to challenge this gym? Or are you here for the coordinator? We just beat them. They weren't that tough."

Meanwhile...

"Hey, Guys? I'm gonna go ahead and go to that trail, I'd rather the gym be a surprise when I go into it for that badge......If nobody is coming with me then, I'll meet you two later." Dan said as he tried to split off from the group, His head starting to hurt from the noise of the town and his companions.

@TheForgottenArc

Dan walked alone, wondering what he would find on Mt. Leeman trail. The real question he should have been asking himself was, 'Who am I going to see on this trail?'.

The road was becoming steeper by the second. Suddenly, he heard a scream coming from up ahead. Actually, it was less of a scream and more of a war cry. "AHHHH!!!" A boy with wild hair and dirty clothes, was yelling off the side of the road, looking down at the farm land below. He beat his chest vigorously. When he finally stopped, it was with a smile and a relaxed breath.

He then looked to his left, down the trail at Daniel. "Hey hey!" He waved and came running down the trail. He stopped a few feet away from Daniel. "I'm Zvi! Who are you!?"
