@Joshua Tamashii - Night

Chandelure looked a little distressed at the clashing orders between Laurinda and Amelia, looking back and forth between the Gourgeists and the young girl.

‘Chandelure…’ The floating chandelier complained slightly. Meanwhile.

‘Pumpka! Pumpka, kaboo! Booka!’ The super-sized Pumpkaboo complained to Amelia.

Translated for her Pokémon…

‘You look totally weak! If my little brother should go with anyone, it should be a strong trainer! Prove you’re strong!’
So the bigger Pumpkaboo announced, while the smaller one trailed peeked out from behind the bigger one to look a bit confused at the situation.

‘… Ka?’

Meanwhile… the Gourgeists floating in slowly came to a halt. They had devious smiles on their lips, some of them still singing their curse, but they appeared to have placed themselves quite right opposite Laurinda. The ghosts of these woods and Laurinda had clashed in the past, after all, and they knew what the woman was capable of. That said, they didn’t look unwilling to potentially make a move as both sides surveyed the scene, the Gourgeists in amusement and with threatening malicious auras while Laurinda with stiff determination and readiness to move with her Pokémon.

Well, then. It was time to introduce the three most common Pokémon of Route 11, because Claire would be running into all three. Pidoves were everywhere, flocking around like crazy around the pathways where people commonly walked, making obnoxious bird-sounds. Apparently, they’re fairly used to being fed. Around the route there were small ponds created by the common rainfall, and around those where a large amount of Budews. But, the most plentiful and around, where the Zigzagoons smelling everywhere, walking about in zig-zag patterns seeking the items commonly dropped by the frequent travellers going by this route. They were everywhere, from around the road to the pains to the small woods to everywhere else. Maybe slightly more sparse in number than that made it sound like, but it was unlikely you’d cross Route 11 without seeing at least one in a bush or so.



Pokédex Entry #263 – Zigzagoon, the Tiny Racoon Pokémon. An exceedingly curious Pokémon which walks in a zig-zag pattern with its nose in the ground. It is skilled at finding items people have left around. It rubs its hard back hair against trees to leave territorial markings.




Pokédex Entry #519 – Pidove, the Tiny Pigeon Pokémon. They’re very accustomed to people and flock around cities and parks. They harbour no fear of people and can be very noisy. They’re very forgetful, and is one of few Pokémon that might not understand a trainer’s orders when given one.




Pokédex Entry #406 – Budew, the Bud Pokémon. It is sensitive to changing temperature. In winter it closes its bud and endures, while in summer it blooms and releases its pollen. This pollen is mildly poisonous and can cause harsh sneezing. It lives near clear ponds.


And onto train she was! Claire would find that Ralia had little problems with any of these three most common Pokémon, but by far the easiest targets would be the Budews due to their secondary Poison typing. If Ralia aimed indiscriminately when training she would suffer minor damage from resisting Zigzagoons and Pidoves, but if primarily directed at Budews she’d get away scot free, although perhaps with slightly less useful experience.

Ralia grew to level 8!


The three bug-type Pokémon collectively would have trouble against the Pidoves, who all knew Gust. Zigzagoon could be a potential target, but they’d suffer considerable damage in return after a few wild ones. Which left the Budews, who’s only attack was Absorb, which was at a double disadvantage against all three of their number, which could be used if to increase the confidence of Ritz and Del or allow Lure to prey on the defenseless buds as brutally as she felt like without any opposition.

Ritz grew to level 6! Ritz learned Supersonic!

Lure grew to level 7!

Del grew to level 6!


There was still merit in training further in this area, especially if Claire could find some of the more uncommon Pokémon of the route. Her Pokémon were not so strong there weren’t more levels that could be gained here, especially if she found some of the more uncommon Pokémon on the route. Of course, if Claire wished to capture any of these, then it was simply for her to decide to do so to a specific one of their number and the scene would be prepared. Though, it should be noted, the clouds were gathering overhead…

Lure may have randomly found some Honey somewhere with Honey Gather, if she wishes to.

… Over there walks a Zigzagoon with something in its mouth. It may have attracted the attention of Claire or some of her Pokémon, because… it shone? That Zigzagoon was carrying something that shone of gold. … And if it was looked at, it suddenly dashed south to a complex of abandoned buildings in full haste.

Up to Claire what she wished to do now.



Connected areas:
Redcoast City. A bit further behind you.
Rainrock City. Requires crossing the remainder Route 11, but it’s a pretty well-travelled and safe road.
Route 12. Requires crossing Route 11 on the way north, also pretty well-travelled.
Pokéball Factory. A turn east on the path north should bring you there.

Houndour’s embers indeed kept the Zubats temporarily away, as the threat of heat kept them in a state of caring about their well-being. And then there was a Growl coming from a Bulbasaur behind him, further discouraging the Zubats. Soooooooooo, there was someone speaking to him behind, but in case he wished to keep going, this is what he’d find.

<well, can’t exactly post, you’re talking to Lucian, and I don’t know if he’s still moving on as he wrote in his post, but if so you could follow him if you wish, the Zubats aren’t necessarily a problem>

@Ariamis Depends. How much does your vision align with the one Western Robot had? Do you find this starting-point an inconvenience and know a much better way to start it? Would you be bothered by not having the opening post in all three sections so that you can edit? If you're the GM, I would prefer to play in your vision, so to say. It would be much more yours if we move to a new thread. But, if it perfectly aligns with WR's, and we're fond of the development we've done so far, then there's no need to move.

Though, I must admit to being a little apprehensive. You said previously that you'd rather not juggle two roleplays that you're GMing. I'm going to sit here and watch for now. Though, if we're continuing from here, we can still have that Mariette whispered those words and such. She might just shut all portals if someone tries to interact with her, including Victoria. I'll watch for now and see how it appears to be handled. Yepp.
@ProPro A collab is probably not necessary, but, well. If the others wanted one then I'd be up for it. Something like that. Hah. ... But honestly, just us posting would be easier for others to read. Thooouuugh, it might also take significantly longer, for some reason. Why is that, really? Huh. Oh, well.
@Pikmin Eye Nicely posted. Alright, spoken with Lucian. @Pyromaniacwolf, noted about your situation, thanks for telling us, but small responses here and there would be very much appreciated, too. Short posts just to get things forward works. You're being spoken to, and there's whatever @Eklispe will do, too. Haha.

Anyways. @Delta44, noted, don't worry about it. It's been a while now, but you're keeping us updated, thank you.

And... hah. I'm exhausted, so I'm going to see if I can post tomorrow instead. Had things to deal with today. But, we'll see. Ough.
@Dark Light I'd be up for that. I know I earlier did intend on having Lataniva challenge you, but, eh, things happened. But I could bring that reason out again. If you're not going to do something else first, which you seem to be.

@Silver Carrot

She was chatty? Lataniva had been told the opposite many times. Then again, mostly she had acted as someone’s agent of death, standing silent to the side. No need to speak. Had that changed, too? Or, perhaps it was just in comparison with the last Dalentian she had met.

‘We do tend to be of the serious sort. I am no exception.’
Lataniva commented, looking to Taleste. And then there was the mention of being a thief, yes. She could not deny that her first thought went to the various jewels on her armor which a thief could desire. She nodded to the assurance that Taleste would not do that.

‘I will trust your word on that.’
”I’d hate to have to kill you”, she almost said but prevented herself. Saying so could potentially create negative associations. While that’d helped her in the past, perhaps it was time to take a distance from such.

And, that was pretty much the end of Lataniva’s interest in this conversation. If Taleste or someone else spoke first, then Lataniva would be interrupted and remain in place. Otherwise…

‘Good luck, then, Taleste.’
Lataniva would say and then walk on her way. Because she felt done.
Well, I didn't really mean we should plan out what's to happen, it should just happen naturally. Anyways. I'm up for potential collaboration with any media if so desired.
While I am interested in playing in one, I don't really have an interest in GMing this sort of roleplay, I'm afraid.
Whelp. Looks like the GM might have died. Oh, well.
@Eklispe So, I take it this is a short exchange before Shatterpoint goes down to meet the intruder. I prioritized a fast response.

A description of the warehouse floor would be nice. There's probably one if I look further back. Oh, well. Haha.

@Spiffy I, hah, really hoped not to use this power excessively against other PC characters in direct encounters. Let's hope we can reach a conclusion to this that makes sense and everyone's happy with. ... Or not. I am hoping, at least? Hahaha. I am currently unsure what that would be for kind of conclusion. Oh, well. I'll play Wisp the way I find makes sense. I apologize for making you have to worry about an invisible someone OOC. Gosh.
