@Pikmin Eye Whelp. Poor Ben. Nicely posted. Now, then. I did mention the underground would be an elevator. Down that, I assume. Alright, let's see what I can cook up.

@Pirouette I do, in fact, have an idea for how Inkay's evolution is to happen. In any case. Nicely posted. Let's see how I'll answer, heh.
... That'll do. Tell me if I made any mistakes.
@Rune_Alchemist

‘Ooooh!’ Maple’s world brightened up as Claire provided her number. ‘Thank you! Thank you! I’m so happy! I’ll call you in a bit!’ She then spun around to Ellyn and smiled so very happily. ‘Alright! Now, onto Stillwood Village and the Pokémon Gym!’ Maple called also as happily, one could think she wasn’t escaping a number of rather pissed Pokémon after losing an attack on a castle. Ellyn, as unenthusiastic as ever, threw a last glance at Claire before following.

Now, then. Claire headed into one of the larger buildings, to someplace within the castle. Here, there was a dome and a potential arena where multiple Pokémon were fighting, and there were plenty of young wannabe champions spread about. And here, Claire made her call, heads turning to look at her as they processed her words…

She may as well have made an assembly-call for the whole castle. That thing in her hand, recognition from the king? For the fighting-Pokémon here that was a guarantee that Claire was destined for greatness and would make them part of one of the most powerful teams imaginable. While there were those that stayed behind for various complex reason, a good 70% of the room scrambled over one another to get to her, Machops crawling over one another and Timburrs trying to jump forward. Meditites and Mienfoos also desired the opportunity, lining up on the sides, and a Tyrogue shouted loudly from somewhere in the crowd. Occasional Riolu, too, taking this offer seriously, trying to push their way forward. There was at least one Chimchar, too, who was now excitedly sitting on a Timburr’s stick to look at Claire from a bit higher.

Notable absence of Panchams, for the simple reason that the king wasn’t here and they’d rather be around the king than any other.

Sooooooooo… Claire’s now got a whole crowd of Pokémon that barely seems to have decreased in size, but now they’re all focused on her.

What now? … Numerous are about to start fighting to prove their worth to her on their own.

Kay’s Foul Play was way more than Eevee now could handle and Eevee was knocked out, leaving Jamie out of Pokémon.

Chu grew to Level 10! Chu learned Quick Attack!

Kay grew to Level 11!


Erika was victorious! Erika gained 352P for winning!


‘… Then again, maybe I don’t want a stone? I could just seek out the Ice Rock or the Moss Rock at… somewhere, or just hug her really tight during night or day, maybe…’ Clearly, Jamie wasn’t entirely sure which eeveelution she wanted. She thanked for the battle and then moved on.

Then, against Nuzleaf. Before Gibs got off his Dragon Rage he was hit with one set of Razor Leaf and then another, leaving him with very little health, but Dragon Rage was still way too powerful and took out Nuzleaf’s remaining health in a single hit, burning down the Grass/Dark-type.

Gibs grew to Level 11!

Eep grew to Level 10! Eep learned Ingrain!


Erika was victorious! Erika gained 503P for winning!


‘Oh! Looks like I might yet have some training to do!’ Wilhelm said, lifting his hat a bit before heading off to Lakewatch City to get his Pokémon healed. Now Erika’s team was very damaged, yeah, onto the next area. She treaded into the forest to the north of Route 5, the forest known as Stillwood Forest, and for a bit it was dark as trees blocked out the sun. But, following the route she eventually encountered Aroma Ladies. Avoiding battle because of damaged Pokémon, Erika could go past them and eventually arrive to…



Mariette
and Eli


Eli was a pool in the ground and Libby came and leaned over her.

‘Teh-heh, yeah,’ Eli giggled in the pain. ‘I’m a puddle~!’

Then the trip happened. Mariette stood silently, watching with small portals attached to the sides of the Bastion to look in all directions so that they weren’t ambushed, but it seemed this wasn’t necessary. So, eventually they approached Justine’s castle. Mariette stood gazing at it with an empty expression, contemplating what they were facing up against, feeling numerous strands of hesitation…

‘Ah!’ Eli jolted in surprise as Amber reached through her slimy body and took her notepad and pen from her during the planning phase. Visible panic etched into her face as she stretched a wing to try to retrieve the notebook, but stopped on a distance as she knew Amber had tactical use of using an empty page, but that didn’t stop that the pirate had Eli floating around her waving her wings in notable panic and distress all the way through explaining the tactics all the way to giving the notebook back, upon which Eli once again stuffed it in her stomach and wrapped her wings around it in a self-hug as if to keep it safe with a sulking expression on her face.

Mariette listened to the plan they were drawing out. There was an issue with it, wasn’t there? Nevermind that Mariette fundamentally didn’t like being ordered around, this time those orders could get her killed. She knew she had to speak up eventually. Amber said where she was needed, Makoto gave an alternative impression, and then Alicia asked what Sonia’s powers were. Alicia got a perhaps underserved annoyed glare, due to Mariette’s current mood, before Mariette started talking aloud.

‘… Sonia is capable of sudden dimensional travel. She has displayed the ability to add or remove herself or others to a scene from nowhere with a simple touch, with the addition that she can call objects into existence from nowhere, this “nowhere” probably being an alternative dimension she keeps around. Helga can probably expand on that and correct what I got wrong, she worked with her,’ Mariette said. Then there was that major part… ‘Sonia can use this power to neutralize me and Eli instantly. At any point Sonia still exists, I might become a liability.’

She didn’t use the word “bane”, but they should know. Justine knew her bane, and Sonia could summon it instantly. Mariette REALLY didn’t like the chances of that bane being revealed in this battle, because all things considered, Justine probably had candles hung everywhere inside the castle just for Mariette’s consideration. It was also very simple for anyone present to procure if they knew of it. She originally had only intended to guide everyone here and then leave them behind, but now they were including her in the planning… She couldn’t deny, her portals were a tremendous asset to any team. However, as long as Sonia existed she could suddenly vanish from the equation, therefore…

‘Relying on my portals and my leadership is therefore relatively unwise. With your suggested teams, should Sonia appear before the winged team, it would be down to Libby and the girl who hasn’t entirely accepted to join in battle to defend us.’ Obviously, that was no good. Mariette turned quiet there, feeling useless and embarrassed enough by having to admit that she’s got this massive flaw right about now.

Meanwhile, having been given back her notebook and relaxing a bit, Eli felt relatively ready to get going. She wasn’t very good in a fight, but she sure had the stealth abilities needed to scout out the place for whatever group she was in. Then, Libby jumped at her. Oh, it seemed like she had made a friend. In a way, having this energetic a friend was comforting, slightly filling the space of Deni disappearing.

‘Oh, you sneak, too? Alright, then let’s-’ Eli smiled, turning to Libby, when suddenly Libby leaning made Eli catch that mark. However, catching that mark would not have been enough to make Eli quieten, being the servant of a horror is but a note in the notebook and something to remember for the future. No, what stood out were…

The fangs.

Eli froze dead in her tracks, smile vanishing, eyes widening and pupils narrowing, a ripple going through her body as her body partially hardened from Reinforcement magic in uncontrolled reaction. Eli wasn’t the kind to become angry, so all that filled her was fear, terror for the being before her. The harpy took a step back and held aside a wing to harden into a blade and strike, but stopped mid-way in realization to how useless that would be. The next instinct was to announce this revelation to the others, but that was hard to commit to when the target of the terror was filling the majority of her field of vision. The third thought was that perhaps this could potentially be taken advantage of to set a trap if only Eli could keep her cool…

But that was a really tall order right now.
IIIIIIH!

Eli shrieked in fear, when she finally came to move she stumbled back and fell. That shrieking perhaps wasn’t good for a group that partly intended to sneak inside didn’t entirely occur to her right about now.

In immediate reaction to the shriek which she recognized as Eli’s, Mariette spun to open a portal beneath her remaining underling, to quickly displace Eli somewhere safer behind their other allies, closing the portal as quickly as possible should this be successful. Then it was a question of what had she shrieked at? She’d likely realize in moments, but that was also long enough for a reaction to happen. In fact, there was long enough that Mariette might not even had the time to be successful with the displacement.
@Rune_Alchemist Nicely posted. Whelp. You're doing that, huh. Okay.

You know, I'm going to try posting for you tonight, because it won't be a particularly big post, hah.

Maple's happy, anyway.
@Pirouette Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Though, when it comes to backtracking, I'll probably make it significantly easy. So, like, say Rune says she wants Claire to catch all the Pokémon on Route 1, 3, 4 and 11. I'd probably let her do it in one post, because it's in the past, assuming she has enough Pokéballs. Same with training a Pokémon up to a level to match the ones currently in your party. Write "train to level 12" on a level 3 and I'll probably let it happen in one post. It's when you're walking into new lands and train to previously unreached levels that I make it take a while.

What I'm trying to say is, by the time you've seen 721 Pokémon, catching them all is going to go SIGNIFICANTLY faster...! XD

... But yeah, still going to take while, hahahahahaha...

Edit: If one new guy shows up I said okay.
... So, I did some counting and indexing, for some silly reason. Altogether, all the trainers that embarked from Pureplain City with Kalmia's Pokédex (including those that have since left the roleplay) have seen 207 Pokémon and captured 39!

... Haha. That is 207 Pokédex entries I've written, out of 721. That is... not an insignificant percentage. 28.7%, in fact. Haha.

Why did I spend time doing that? Oh, right, because I was amassing a Pokédex so I never forget if I've written a Pokédex entry or not. Hahaha.



... And that filled 2/3rds of the character limit. The Pokémon without images are so because they were starters and I didn't provide images for the starters to begin with. And the big ones are because, at the time, those two didn't look good with 100x100 resolution. Haha.
@Pikmin Eye Alright. Here you go. I know what's here, and I could probably put you on a rail if I felt like it because I have a series of events in mind... but I can't do that because you need to react and stuff and will probably/hopefully change the tracks we're riding, impacting the events by your actions because this is a roleplay. So, what will you do? ... Or, of course, you can just line your pockets with the stuff in the storage and gtfo into the underground, that works too. XD

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii Ho. Okay. That written. I'm not sure how this will be interpreted by the players, but hah. So, who's right here? Is any of them? Both? Does it matter to Dawkin and Amelia? Probably not, but now you're looking after a runaway Tyrunt for some reason! Hahahaha! ... Yeah, up to you what you do from here on. Or you can just stay in place and do nothing. That works too.

@Rune_Alchemist And, yeah, you're at a castle. Have fun, do what you will. Hahahaha.

@Pirouette Alright, so, two of your battles went a little awry. Chu versus Eevee and Eep versus Nuzleaf. You're going to need to either decide to change Pokémon or... anything else, hah. They're both the last and strongest Pokémon of their respective trainers. Anyways.

I decided to be a bit liberal with the levels. Sure, Kay was about to grow to the next level when he was frozen. Hahahaha.

Anyways, there. Tell me if I made any massive mistakes.

@Pikmin Eye

Martin headed through the level, avoiding the healing station and probably the chests of recovery items and the strangely placed save-spot too had they existed before eventually heading down the stairs, which spiraled down a tight rectangular space until he reached a lower level. There, he reached another wider room, with several routes. The room itself was empty except for some benches on the sides for potential seating. Based on some scratches on the floor, things on wheels commonly made their way through this room.

To his right following the wall was a large door labeled “Underground”. If Martin tried it, he’d find he had access and that it led to an elevator going downwards. Evidently, he could reach the underground from here. Ahead of him was “Lvl. 1 Storage”, which was open to him. To his left along the wall was also “Lvl. 2 Storage”, which was inaccessible to him. To the far left was a large door, with the main sign, “Testing Area”.



With Martin’s current key-card he could only go to the underground or the Lvl 1 storage from here. If he goes underground, well, then the story will continue from there. If he goes to the storage…



Now. In either the case that he went into the storage and is now coming back out again OR he simply lingered inside this room for a bit of extra time for any reason, there was a sudden echoing successful sound of a door’s lock being opened. It was the Testing Area’s door, which lights just flashed green. This likely means it’s about to open. Martin has a few seconds to potentially hide or whatever else he has a sudden desire of doing. If he’s still there… what will he do?

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii

Tyrunt stopped and stared at the two as they offered their alternative path, then gave a little cry of amusement and dashed towards them, completely throwing off the numerous Sandshrews that emerged from the ground numerous feet ahead of where Tyrunt WOULD have been going had the Pokémon continued in the direction he was previously going. Now instead they looked considerably confused before digging down underground again. So for now, they had a curious wild Tyrunt hanging out with them.

Now, they wanted to leave the area… except Route 6 is vast, on their feet they wouldn’t get far enough before they could hear hooves approaching from a distance. They did get far enough to get behind a hill before the situation settled, the driver and his protector having been able to retain a portion of the ancient Pokémon while the other portion slipped away with the Ground-type Pokémon. Now, potentially because she saw Dawkin and Amelia earlier, the trainer on the Rapidash was now riding in their direction, on the other side of the hill…

And on Route 6, there is nowhere to hide. … That is, unless they hide behind those Miltanks just absently walking about and grazing the endless fields. That is theoretically possible.

Dawkin will reluctantly and with great embarrassment, attempt to hide behind the miltanks.


Amelia will likely follow Dawkins lead and try to get the Tyrunt to do the sane


So, with varying emotions they maneuvered into the her of Miltanks, some of which looked at them curiously before continuing with their peaceful behavior. Amelia keeping an eye on Tyrunt might be for the best, because he was inches away from curiously biting at the nearest Miltank, and angering their cover might not be the best idea possible.

So, on the other side of the Miltanks, the trainer on the Rapidash rode over the hill. At this point she stopped and frowned, looking around, knowing there’s no way they’d have gotten that far assuming they went by foot. She eyed towards the Miltanks, but they didn’t seem particularly suspicious so she hit her feet so the Rapidash too off in a gallop… before suddenly the ground started shaking. The trainer had to hurry to reign in her Rapidash from the sudden shaking and the Miltanks around Dawkin and Amelia were also startled, though not to the degree of actually starting to run. Then… something large burst from the ground before the trainer on the horse.

It was another woman, emerging from the ground sitting on top of a sizable Pokémon. Amelia could sense the presence of at least one ghost in the woman’s Pokéballs.



Pokédex Entry #344 – Claydol, the Clay Doll Pokémon. It’s said to have awoken from a clay figurine of an ancient civilization when a mystic light shone upon it. It is a floating enigma, flying with psychic powers and firing beams its hands. It sleeps while floating in the air, and even if it comes apart it can reassemble itself with psychic powers.





From this distance, it was much easier to make out the two, albeit Dawkin and Amelia perhaps should avoid peeking too often because at the very least Claydol has eyes on all sides. Still. The woman on the Rapidash had short, blonde hair, a plain face and a large white coat as well as a red scarf. Nothing too unnatural, minus riding in high heels. The one that emerged from the ground, though, was a different story. She had long, wild red hair, was wearing a yellow suit that was seemingly made to protect her body while deep underground, on which she had numerous pockets and gadgets attached that probably helped with mining, and a brown jacket on top of that. In addition, the suit was… kind of open on top, showing a bit of skin. That aside. The two women’s eyes met, the blonde one frowning meeting the smiling red-headed one. They both knew which one of them had won the previous encounter.

Under the assumption that Dawkin and Amelia stayed put, the two women started talking, starting with the blonde one on the Rapidash.

‘Kristy… Stealing is unbecoming of a Gym Leader.’ There was poison on her otherwise polite tone.

‘Hahahaha. If I considered myself stealing, would I be showing my face?’ The replying woman who had arrived from underground sounded more jovial, but nonetheless tense.

‘Nonetheless, this was an unsanctioned attack. You’re not getting away with this.’

‘Maybe not. Though, I do like to hope the message of what we think of your actions came through.’

‘We’re not doing anything illegal.’

‘Oh, grow up, Leila. You were shipping those Pokémon to be sold to the highest bidder. Ancient Pokémon fetch a handy price, eh?’

‘We were not. We were taking them to the research labs of Worldedge City to be further researched for what information about the past we can discover. Team Amethyst has gotten into your head.’

‘Oho-ho-ho. Funny you should mention… We have reason to believe you’re cooperating with them.’

‘Baseless accusations. In fact, we have reason to believe you’re working with them.’

‘… Oh?’ Kristy sounded genuinely taken aback at that.

‘There are only two major holders of ancient Pokémon in the world. You Raremine Miners, spanning from the Frozen Cavern Mines to the Desert Mines, and us, the Worldedge Scientific Division. Yet, our collectors are reporting that there has been a certain increase of ancient Pokémon on the less reputable market. Why is that? Someone’s leaking, and might I claim, miners might be more inclined to desire a better, richer life than scientists…’

‘Heh. Or maybe the crooks have just uncovered a new good spot for mining that they’ve kept hidden for profit. Or maybe it has to do with the incomplete transactions happening among scientists. Test subjects that, when done with, just happen to vanish…’

‘They’re entrusted to friends, family, or to nearby Pokémon Trainers that visit the lab, library or museum.’

‘Really? I’d like to see those records, because that sounds like convenient excuses. Oh, by the way. Play Park called. They wondered why they didn’t get as many ancient Pokémon as was promised, or as I can confirm were delivered from Raremine Town by your men.’

‘… Huh. I haven’t heard about that. I’ll look into it.’ Leila replied to that, her turn to be taken aback a bit.

‘You definitely should. Until I’m further been assured of the situation, however, I don’t feel safe leaving those Pokémon in your hands, and I will continue attacking your shipments. I trust you won’t mind.’

‘That is highly violent of you. We really need those Pokémon. Speaking of violent solutions, if I just defeat you and capture you, I figure I could make your men hand over the Pokémon in exchange for that I don’t hand you over to the authorities?’ … And suddenly, the pressure of Leila’s words grew dramatically, but Kristy just laughed.

‘Ahahahaha! Capture me, huh. What age did you grow up in? Anyway. In Raremine Town, I AM the authority, and I remind I didn’t become a Gym Leader by being bad at battling. So, what’s it gonna be, sweetie? Can you match the Desert Princess?’

‘… That title doesn’t suit you anymore. I realize you got it along with your Gym Leader position when you were a teenager, but now you’re…’

‘Heh. Yeah, suppose I might have outgrown it. “Princess” isn’t what you think looking at me anymore. I could change it, but I’m kinda attached to it. “Desert Queen” sounds way too haughty, though.’

‘… Heh.’

‘Oooh, got you to smirk!’

‘…’

‘…’

The two turned silent, each holding a Pokéball glaring at the other, the casualness of the previous conversation about Kristy’s title washing away as both prepared for eventual battle.

… Would Dawkin and Amelia do anything? Their action could take place during the conversation, even if they’ll interrupt it, the above is simply “if they do not interrupt”.

@Rune_Alchemist

The scarred Pangoro turned his head a little and gave a grin, acknowledging Claire’s claim, before he kept going and walked back up the castle road. Him pausing to do that basically led to the entire castle also pausing to see what he was going to do, then just a combined little smirk as their great leader grinned, and then everyone returned to what they were doing.

Infernape turned his head a little to Claire’s talking to him and Lucario, and slowly nodded though with a displeased expression. Then, he turned to Maple and Ellyn, pointed at the exit with one hand while making the universal “shoo, shoo” motion with the other. Ellyn was quick to turn and walk without an additional look towards Claire and Anise… but Maple however turned wide-eyed and looked to Claire.

‘W-wait!’ She called out. ‘Claire! Can I have your phone number!? I’d love to talk to you occasionally!’ Desperate to expand her net of friends, Maple called out to Claire. Up to her how she responds, but regardless Lucario and Infernape are going to be pretty quick at leading Maple out after her companion.

Regardless of Claire’s reaction, moving on.

So, this is basically a fully functioning city, except inhabited by Pokémon.



There were numerous rings throughout the castle where Fighting-Pokémon faced one another and tried to win. However, the majority was simply buildings and different Fighting-types working to maintain it all. There were Machops aplenty, quite a few Timburrs and Meditites, the occasional Mienfoo. There was a bunch of Panchams, but they were mostly all competing for whom could be the closest and most perfectly mimic the current action of their king, no matter what that action was at that exact moment. Rarer among their number were the every-so-often Riolu and Tyrogue, both kinds seeking to grow stronger in this crowded castle. And, of course, there was at least one family of Chimchars.

It did seem like the rule of “strong seeks upwards” was present here, as though there were evolved Pokémon they were few and far between, mostly acting as overwatchers of the smaller fighters around. Yet, holding the title as leader of the castle needed one of the strongest of their kind, which was that Pangoro. This meant that to seek new challenges, the young Fighting-types eventually left the castle to grow stronger, and one day perhaps fight the king of the castle. As such Pangoro made himself an idol to all the Fighting-types of the castle, and you best believe he was ready to jump down to save his kind, only stopping because he noted Claire’s approach and was interested in how it would turn out.

The largest arena was, of course, the top of the castle, where the king and his top four enforcers (Conkeldurr, Lucario, Infernape, Breloom) squared off in high-power duels that left the audience in awe, dreaming to grow as strong as them one day.

So. In any case. What would Claire do now?

@Pirouette

‘Oh? Well, then. Good luck, Erika! I’ll be rooting for you!’ Isaac told her as she headed off, waving to her and wishing her luck.

With that, Erika went to battle!

Gibs completely floored the first Buneary, the creature unable to overcome the blazing Dragon Rage. Sno then made short work of the poor Hoppip which didn’t stand a chance. Eevee, however, was a different matter. Play Nice was used, decreasing Eevee’s attack while Eevee hit with Sand-Attack. Realizing what Erika was doing, Jamie commanded an all-out attack by Eevee to do damage while she still could. It became a Tackle VS Thundershock battle, but even with the previous, Thundershock wasn’t doing enough damage. Eevee was winning this battle, if only just. Will Erika change up her plan?

Next battle! In the fight against Koffing, Chu turned out to be a terrific choice. Chu’s speed meant Koffing’s gasses couldn’t keep up and trap him, and while he got Smokescreened a few times he could keep his distance and Thundershock the floating ball without fearing gas nor admirable defense, meaning Koffing fainted soon enough.

Chu grew to Level 9!


Sno Powder Snowed down Spearow with just a few shots, but not without being pecked for a nasty piece of damage in return. Still, she got some experience.

Sno grew to Level 11!


Roggenrola wasn’t affected by Sand Attack (IT HAS NO EYES) and headed in for a Headbutt… but Dragon Rage pierced all its supposed defenses and Roggenrola fainted.

Gibs grew to Level 10!


Erika was victorious! Erika gained 278P for winning!


‘Woa!’ Adrian looked in surprise at Gible and his downed Roggenrola. The school kid glanced over his notes, a surprised look in his eyes, looked up at Gible again, then let the noted drop as he looked out over the nearby lake for numerous quiet seconds. Eventually, he spoke, sounding slightly in awe. ‘I… I want a dragon.’ Well, looks like he learned something, at the very least.

Chic VS Bronzor. Bronzor was indeed heatproof and had superior defense and special defense, but poor offensive stats balanced the fight. Initially it looked bad as Chic fell asleep from an Hypnosis while Bronzor got off Confusions, but Chic woke up quickly and kept on Embering while Bronzor failed a couple Hypnosis after. Chic was heavily damaged, but Bronzor fainted first.

Chic grew to Level 10! Chic learned Sand Attack!


Gothita sent a Tickle at Kay, tickling any sensitive points with Psychic powers, before being promptly taken out by Foul Play.

Kay grew to Level 10!


In Woobat VS Sno, Woobat’s speed allowed it to get in a few Confusions, but eventually Sno’s type-advantage froze the bat in the air and victory was Erika’s.

Erika was victorious! Erika gained 492P for winning!


‘GAH!’ Mason recoiled as if taking a physical blow, then the Psychic promptly pointed at Erika while returning his Pokémon. ‘Th-this isn’t over! You haven’t seen the last of me…!’ Shouting a line that perhaps would have served better said in fiction by a D-class villain, Mason spun and dashed away. Didn’t seem like he learned anything.

Healing Sno and Chic was a good choice, because Sno suffered some nasty bites in the following battle against Sandile and Chic suffered numerous Thundershocks, good thing the chicken wasn’t a Flying type. Sno triumphed over Sand Attack’s decreased accuracy and hit his Powder Snow to take down Sandile.

Sno grew to Level 12!


In her fight with Magnemite Chic was paralyzed and couldn’t move once, but the type advantage meant the Embers she did get off did enough damage to out-damage the Thundershocks and Chic won.

Chic grew to Level 11!


Then… it was Nuzleaf. Eep did fairly well, using Acid to do Super Effective damage, but the level difference was too great. Nuzleaf was going to faint him while only taking roughly half his health as damage, after perhaps unnecessarily paralyzing Eep. Would Erika switch strategies?
I got distracted. I'll say tomorrow.
