I think it's safe to put your Vivillion at level 25, given how well it did in battle. Honestly, I'm tempted to go higher, but I'd rather not for balancing purposes. So level 25 it is. Also, Hawka and Mimzi can each gain a level from that battle with Kovi. And of course, I've pushed the timeline forward to 9:30 AM.

I'm about to go into work. I also work a double tomorrow. And I work Tuesday morning. So I probably won't be able to make an IC post of any kind till Tuesday afternoon or Wednsday. But I'll keep up with everyone else's posts until then. I'll check in when waking up and before going to sleep.

darn, i kind of needed it to be night time for one post longer. well, i'll just put what indigo did during the night and jump it to next day. hopefully that's cool?

@prettydrops

No worries, that's exactly what's supposed to happen.

@TheForgottenArc@iKatamalicious@prettydrops

The last Daniel post pushed the timeline to sunrise the next day. I updated the first IC post accordingly. Don't forget to increase your character's digital currency by 5 Pokedollars for the passing of another day. I've attached a quote below where I established the rules on currency.

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc@iKatamalicious

Alright,

This is the plan regarding currency:
* Everyone starts off with zero Pokedollars (_₽0).
* Pokedollars are digitally uploaded into your Pokedexes and digitally removed when earned or spent.
* There are four ways Pokedollars can be earned.
** 1) At the start of each new day (at the stroke of midnight) _₽5 are loaded to your character's Pokedex.
** 2) Your character can sell items to the Pokemart or anyone with a Pokedex.
** 3) Your character can search their Pokedex for missions. Missions reward successful completion.
** 4) Gambling on battles has been banned in Septoh, but Pokemon Showdown battles will reward money for a win (which is explained as having an "official / competitive" battle). The looser does not loose money. The winner only wins money. Your character can only earn money battling someone once per day (to prevent broken farming). I will reveal how much money is earned after the battle's conclusion.

I could see the above information being explained by the cashier at the Pokemart. For more information, have your character open their Pokedex in an IC post. Remember; the Pokedex knows ALL (or most things at least).

Based on the first way of earning Pokedollars, Daniel and Indigo should have _₽20 right now. I'm not sure exactly how many days Margo has on the boys, but if I had to gues, I'd say she started two days sooner? If that's the case, she would have _₽30.

Thanks!

@Balthazar007

This means, you should all have _₽5 more than mentioned above.

I pushed the clock forward to 7:45PM to account for the continuation of their conversation and the time Margo spent reading her book. The sun set at 7:30, during which Margo was reading, but the boys are still behind in the timeline a bit. Since Daniel and Indigo have stepped out of the Pokemon Center and it's TheForgottenArc's turn to post, the next Daniel post can incorporate the sunset if you wish.

On an unrelated note, I have been working on a novel for over a year now. I'm in the final drafting stages. Would anyone like to read the first draft? If you have a google account, that would be easiest. I could share a google doc with you. PM me if you are interested.

Pokemon: Storm

Cool, and sorry I haven't posted yet! Yesterday was SO BUSY. I'll post Later on today! Also balth did we get levels for that two hour training session? Just wondering!

Arc, do you have a preference for if you want Indy to go with Dan for camping or...?

@prettydrops

Yes, all Pokemon that trained in that two hour window gain one level.

Pokemon: Storm

@TheForgottenArc@iKatamalicious@prettydrops

I pushed the timeline forward by ten minutes to account for all the conversation at the Pokemon Center. Nice character development everyone, sad, but nice writing.

Pokemon: Storm

i love how all the teens are angsting rn xD

sorry, it's been super busy this weekend. i'll try to post something soon!

@prettydrops

It is very appropriate for their ages. Lol

Pokemon: Storm

@TheForgottenArc

Okay, no levels gained due to improperly motivated training, as you wish. Also, I'm pushing the timeline 45 minutes forward for your "quick trianing" and all the walking around.

Pokemon: Storm

@prettydrops@iKatamalicious, your latest posts seemed to elapse about 2 hours. Considering @TheForgottenArc's last post already did that, I didn't move the timeline. So it is now 6:15PM for everyone. Indio and Margo are at the Shamba Arena, while Daniel is still on Mt. Leeman trail where Zvi has just finished digging.

@prettydrops, I would rather not give all your Pokemon a level for that short training session. You may however, increase your two lowest leveled Pokemon by one level. All your Pokemon need about thirty minutes of rest to be at full strength again, though.

Dan looked over back towards where the boy had been screaming

"Yea, maybe I should." He said, as he walked over to where the boy had been

Why not, right? He thought as he took a breath and yelled over the farmland.

Well that was stupid Dan thought as he turned back to the boy.

"Hey, Uh....I gotta go and train so....yea." He said. Dan couldn't think of anything else to say as he walked away...

@TheForgottenArc

Zvi watched as Daniel yelled, obviously lacking in commitment. At least he tried, he thought.

He didn't try to stop Daniel from leaving. He just said, "Okay, bye!" as Daniel walked away. Silently, he wished that Daniel's mood would improve over time.

When Daniel had gotten out of sight, Zvi shrugged, and called out one of his palls, Sudowoodo. "Hey buddy!" A nearby tree began to move. It was Sudowoodo. He'd been watching Zvi and Daniel the whole time. "Let's teach you how to use DIG! Here, watch me!"

And so, Zvi began digging. Soon after, Sudowoodo started following suit...

... He walked back passing Zvi, still standing in the place he was before, digging into the ground with his hands. Dan turned to him before passing him, and thought to himself Maybe he'll train with me tomorrow. No use in doing much else today.

"Hey, Do you wanna train Tomorrow?" Dan asked Zvi "I'm going back to town today but it would be nice to have a partner... Ya know makes it more interesting."

Dan sat in silence wondering if the boy had even heard him over the sound of digging.

@TheForgottenArc

Both Zvi and Sudowoodo noticed Daniel returning. Sudowoodo noticed first and stopped digging immediately. He froze, reclaiming his camouflage as a tree. The only thing that would give him away, would be the conspicuous hole in front of him. But it didn't seem like this trainer had noticed.

Zvi, on the other hand, felt no need to stop. There was something shiny in the ground, and he wanted to see what it was. He listened to Dan's request without looking away from his goal. He didn't stop when he answered either. "Sure, I should be around here somewhere."

Moments later, he pulled up a necklace. Someone probably dropped it a long time ago. He put it around his neck and vowed to himself, One day, I will get this back to its owner. He would wear that necklace every day for the rest of his life, until someone noticed it was theirs. Then he would give it back.
