@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.

1. Find Pokémon. Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search.
2. Train Pokémon. With this command, we can jump ahead in time and skip posting about grinding.
3. Seek trainers. There should be some trainers among those walking back and forth in the area.
4. Talk. There’s plenty of travellers around. Maybe seek answers to any burning questions you have.
5. Move along. Move along normally, letting any events that may come happen naturally.
6. Hurry along. Intentionally avoid confrontations and try to get safely to the next destination.
7. Specify. If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result.
8. Trigger random event. Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you.
9. Area Specific: Explore Buildings. There’s abandoned buildings. The Zigzagoon with the gold item in its mouth dashed in this direction!

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.

Common:
#263 Zigzagoon
#406 Budew
#519 Pidove

Uncommon:

Rare:

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.

It was a tunnel which the water rose high enough to reach a person’s thighs. It’d be difficult to get through here for Pokémon as well as trainer without getting wet, as the edges were inclining down into the wet area. This continued for quite the distance, the fairly slim tunnel lit up from the water.

Up ahead, the watery road split into two. The left was a curving path which continued the river of water, no end in sight. There were audible sounds of splashing in that direction. Meanwhile, to the right, there was a road that eventually ended with dry land, and the corridor continued for a way before ending in another split. Now, the thing is, Houndour could smell the path going both directions. Perhaps the path left was a slightly fresher scent, but they had gone in both directions. What would Lucian do now?

<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.
