Pokemon: Worlds Collide

That bit in French between the two was fun. I apologize for not including translations, but I felt it would detract from the narrative.

And so here they were, in the City of Lights of all places. As he wandered around, looking around for a place to eat with a decent looking hamburger, Forest remembered that his girlfriend back stateside had wanted to travel the world, starting in Paris and ending in Tuscany, a trip he only agreed with because at some point, they'd be going to Ireland. Still, as he finally found a place and placed his order for a bacon and ham cheeseburger, he decided he'd leave the week in Paris out and simply memorize the name of the place and say he found it on Google or something. While he waited, he pulled out the Pokeball containing the Paras he'd caught four days prior. After they'd gotten back to the Russian HQ, he'd begun working first on gaining it's trust, which he'd already started getting when the crab realized that he'd been released in a much warmer climate.

Now, as Obi-Wan appeared in a flash of red light, the little guy was happy and healthy, the food that the ex-Guardsman gave him having helped him get stronger. "Alright buddy, you ready to add another friend to the team?" The mushroom-toting crab chittered an affirmative. "Good. Soon as I'm done, we're heading off to the woods."

As the sun was setting, the pair found themselves out in the heart of a nearby forest. The groups' Pokemon assistant had authorized the two to search for the unknown bug type but with a reminder about when to be back. It was dark by the time they decided to rest, at around 8:36 pm local time. As they snacked on some sandwiches that Forest had bought before heading out, they saw it, the bug type that had yet to be ID'd. Paras was already carefully moving forward as Forest stood, a hand drifting towards another Pokeball, even as he scanned for local predators. We gotta be careful with this...

Obi-Wan, Paras Male-Level 8

The news that they would be going to the place he had appeared, and admittedly decided to call his home away from home, was pleasantly surprising. He and his team spent the time before they left preparing, getting in contact with the appropriate authorities to make sure that Prankster could fly freely. Once they were there, aside from the Sycamore's announcement, he was in the streets, speaking with the locals about problem Pokemon. The first to deal with were the Togedemaru causing trouble in the industrial area.

When he came across the other trainer with the Duskull, she was confronting a group of factory workers who were asking for her help. He himself had dealt with several of the larger, more troublesome of the Pokemon, but from the way she was willing to simply leave it for the more than likely frustrated workers to deal with. And that didn't sit right with the bladesman, who approached with Slayer in tow. "Vous y! Où est votre contremaître?" The worker who'd just been speaking with the female trainer looked to him before pointing to a larger man who stepped forward.

"Je suis le contremaître. Qu'est-ce que tu veux?" Jason pointed to the unconscious Togedemaru.

"Qu'as-tu l'intention de faire avec ce Togedemaru?" The foreman looked at the unconscious creature then back at the sword-carrying man before grinning darkly.

"Nous avons l'intention d'y faire face à notre façon. Est-ce un problème, formateur?" The sword on his hip came free an inch, the sunlight glinting off the steel.

"C'est, en effet, un problème, mon ami." Gallade stepped between the slowly recovering electric type and the crowd of workers, who began to mutter amongst each other and back away from the trainer and their foreman. "Vous allez simplement le regarder jusqu'à ce que les assistants du professeur puissent le ramasser. Ou," the sword came free the rest of the way and Jason held it to his side, clearly practiced in using the blade, "vous allez vous trouver quelques chiffres." The anger that had been building on the Foreman's face vanished when he realized that the Pokemon World native wasn't joking around and, after a moment of sputtering and self argument, as well as discussion with some other workers, he relented.

"Très bien. Voulez-vous au moins laisser un Pokémon pour s'assurer qu'il ne s'échappe pas ou causer des problèmes?" Sheathing his sword, the swordsman nods before releasing Lucky from his Pokeball.

"Je vais. Heureusement, mon Lucario, restera jusqu'à ce que le Pokémon a été récupéré." Turning to Lucky, he points at the Togedemaru. Content, the group heads back inside and the sound of work resuming echoes out an open door and the windows as he explains to Lucky what was to happen. "Lucky, keep this guy here until Professor Sycamore can send someone to get it. I've already pinged our location to the retrieval team, they'll be here in ten minutes. All the same, watch the workers and don't hesitate to put any of them on their butts who get wise ideas. Stay safe buddy."

Grunting and nodding the Lucaria sits next to the Togedemaru while Jason approaches the female trainer, Slayer at his side. "And you. Did you even stop to think what those men and women would do after you walked away? Or are you too concerned with getting back up to your personal par to care?" Granted, Jason himself wasn't any kind of activist and wasn't going to make efforts like this often, but knowing how frustrated and desperate these workers were to make the outages stop from talking with one of the factory owners earlier in the day, he couldn't let them get ahold of one of them while they still held ill will.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

I'll get a post up when I get home tonight.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

I'm thinking I'm gonna go after the bug type in the remote forest. @Balthazar007 Could Forest perhaps run into a Growlithe at some point?

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

@Zarkun

Say no more!! I too once worked in a Walmart deli, I still have nightmares of cleaning the rotisserie cooker 😭😭😭😭

@Cerces22

We don't use the bottom one. Only the top. But I don't clean it, I do other things while another person does the rotisserie.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

@Zarkun

What are you having a problem with?? I can help

@Cerces22

Primarily just sitting down and looking it over. I'm easily distracted and I work the Deli in Wal-Mart.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

I can't figure out Pokemon Showdown for the life of me. I know I need to, but....I'm just not that worried about it.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

@Zarkun

Hey. What level would you like your Paras to be? (Between 5 and 15). This effects your roll of whether or not you make the catch.

@Balthazar007

My first Paras in Fire Red was...8. So we'll go level 8 and male.

Xcom RP; are the masses interested?

This is late, but the concepts are just, uh, standard writing in an Xcom setting XD Sorry guys, I don't do Dice rolls or anything, otherwise you'd all miss every shot and then get murdered in the first mission.

Having been with the Sergeant's group, Forest never saw the Stantler heard, though he was pretty sure he'd heard the call of one off in the distance at one point. Still, when their time to search for it was over, the ex-Guardsman couldn't say he was upset. Stantler had been a Pokedex completion for him and nothing more, which he did feel a little guilty over, but it was what it was. He had the Pokemon he liked and the ones he knew worked well for his training style in the games. Boarding his bus again, he pulled his .45 out of it's holster and removed the magazine from it. Because of how much time they'd be spending out in the wilderness, the Sergeant had preferred that they be able to chase off any wild animals they might come across before they found the Pokemon.

Lunch was full of discussion but was relatively short before the group set off to hunt down the mushroom toting crab looking Pokemon Paras. Now here was one that he'd be OK with catching, since Parasect learned X-scissor and all the spore attacks, his two personal favorites being Stun Spore and Sleep Spore. They'd been instrumental in catching Palkia and Moltres, though the latter of the two had been a calculated risk since Parasect was a Bug-Type.

After a couple of hours, many of the aspiring trainers had given up actually looking and instead set to just enjoying the time outside, but Forest continued to look. He knew that there was a Paras around the area somewhere, he just had to be persistent. And that persistence paid off. He noticed a pair of small yellow and red mushrooms slowly trying to sneak away from the group. "Not so fast!" Pulling a Pokeball off his belt, he'd modified it the previous night after finishing cleaning his pistol and watching that trainer spar with his Gallade, he pushed the button to enlarge it before throwing it. The ball connected and sucked in the crab in a flash of red light.

Though if he was honest, as he watched the Pokeball with apprehension, it was absurd that they had no way to weaken the Pokemon first, but that was what it was. Hopefully this would go better than the Foongus had.
