[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

@Dragonstrike

After a few minutes of thoughtful silence on your part, Mr. Grills decided to move on to explaining the next *Items on the list: The Stun/Status Grenades.

"Alright partner, seeing as you are still mulling over whether to buy that Shotgun or not, how about take your mind of it for a bit while I talk about the next batch of military ordenance : The Stun and Status Grenades. Explosives are pretty bad for you health as is, but these little devils take things one step further and pours salt on the gaping wounds these will leave. The ideas behind these are simple: you throw one of at some group of poor bastards or Pokémon, and they are get blasted by the hazardous concoction of chemicals that are stored in these things. Stun Grenades Flitch baddies for a short while and can disorient them, Sleep Grenades gasses everyone and sends them to dreamland, while the Paralysis, Burn, and Freeze have a fairly good chance of procing their Status and deal Elemental damage on top of the 'Ka-BOOM!' typical Explosive make."

"Their also EMP Grenades, HHG (Holy Hand Grenades = Nuclear Grenades) , and Poison/Bio Hazard Grenades that exists, but due to their nature and hazardous contamination they generate, they are pretty much Illegal world wide, though it doesn't stop scum bags from making and selling them on the black markets. Their are also higher grade versions of the Paralyze, Burn, and Freeze Grenades called Arc Thunder, White Inferno, and Sheer Cold Grenades, which are.......effective at what they do, to put it mildly and non-graphically as possible. Trust me, a more detailed description might cause you to wonder how humanity got this far without killing themselves with the stuff they made, which is an quandary that no one really should ponder for their own sanity. I don't sell the damn things, and you need Military Authorization to even handle them, so you won't run into the nightmares at all unless you find yourself in a warzone or terrorist base raid or something. Stun Grenades cost $1000 Poke each, Sleep Grenades $2500 Poke Each, and the Paralysis, Freeze, and Burn Grenades cost $4000 each. Oh, and one thing I should point out just in case it ain't obvious, but these things can end up affecting your own Pokémon as well if the happen to get caught in the Explosion radius, or you cock up your aim and throw one right at them- that's one way of blowing up on your partner, yeesh..... That, and you need at least Police Authorization to be permitted to buy them, but again I can sell them to you for a 50% mark up. You interested, or just want to leave military ordenance to the experts?"

Finally, after getting through the Items that can better enable you to destroy your enemies/Corrupted Nuclear Pokémon, he moved on to perhaps the most intriguing items on the list: The Hazma Suits and The Elite Riot Gear. Walking over to the crate and replacing the Riot Shotgun back into it, he then lead you over to wear four lockers were sitting side by side, two colored in black and yellow stripes and the other two black and brown camoflage, motioning to them each with a light smile to help cheer up the heavy atmosphere of the place.

"Well, here's the last of what is 'Anti Personal Gear', all nice and locked up in these storage lockers. In case you are wondering, no, these pieces of gear don't require Police or Military Authorization to purchase them cheaply, but that implies they are inexpensive to begin with. They aren't, but don't let that dissuade your choice in purchasing them too much now if you are interested in protecting yourself against nasty Rads and the like. First off, let's talk about the Hazma Suits. I got these two from the Ranger Union in Tandor, the place that was the epicenter for the Nuclear Disaster, as part of a deal I made in distributing Anti Nuclear supplies for them pro bono. Plain and simply, they complete negate and nullify Nuclear Rads and Damage, which is pretty sweet on its own, but it also doubles your Strength, enabling you to push thing around and outa the way more easier and smash up obsticles if they are in fragile enough and in your way. Downside is they run on Power Cells that need to be charged for awhile to work, and they drain over time as the user is in a Irradiated Area. I have more Cell avaliable for purchase, though, so if you have the cash you won't have worry about run out of clean energy to power it. Its also not that sturdy as well, as it can only soak up so many Nuclear attacks before the suit break down entirely, and its bulky enough to hinder movement if you are packing some serious brawn to hustle about in it, though the same can be said about any Heavy Armor really. Suits cost $10000 Poke each, with additional Power Cells costing $3000 each. If your suit gets scuffed up, I can repair it for you for about $2500 Poke if its not that badly damage, and $5000 if its been put through the wringer. Other places may charge more or less, but those are my repair costs, so take the or leave them."

The Survival Businessman then motioned towards the Brown and Black crates, this time sporting a much more chipper grin as he prepared to speak about them, as if signaling whatever is in there is the real cream of the crop. "Now this gear right here.....this is THE real deal when it comes to roughing it in just about ANY situation. Got these suits from the Imperious Machina, and boy howdy they did a bang up job on them! Unlike the Hazma Suit, it comes into to main pieces, the Suit itself and the Helmet that goes with it. The Suit has substantial Thermal and Electrical protections and is fully Waterproofed and Radiation Resistant, and has solid armoring that will protect you against almost everything but Armor Piercing Rounds and Explosives. The Helmet itself enhances your vision, has fully functional night vision modual, has a built in re-breather to filter out gases, and has some built in targeting system that helps you find weakpoints on enemies. Put together they makes for a Intimidating yet Alluring dread solider that will strike fear into your enemies and leave your allies awestruck with how much of a badass! Sadly, the designers of this suit couldn't iron out all the kinks in it, so it has some less than desirable traits in body armor. For starters its bulky, so again if you don't muscle for days its going to hinder you movement speed. Secondly, the parts and pieces that make up this gear are extremely sensitive to 'Arcane Energies' , so Ghost, Dark, Fairy, and Psychic moves inflict more harm on the wearer, not less. Its also been reported by my buddies that people who wear the full set tends to put almost everyone you don't know on edge, since seeing someone Swanaing tends to send a strong message that whoever is wearing it is a none too friendly chap that needs to be avoided pronto if you don't want a boot up your ass at best. 'Sides those negative qualities, though, this gear will see you survive most any situation, and give you the tools you need to succeed even when the odds are stacked against ya! Like I said earlier, though, this ain't thrifty purchase, especially not for protection this good and hard to come by. The Suit itself costs $17500 Poke, while the Helmet itself costs only $7500, so if you want to the either armor or cranial enhancments and want to cut costs, the options is here. I heard this gear can also be Modded to be even more durable than before, but I don't know the first thing about how to do THAT without tearing the gear apart, so don't bother to ask me to do try. 'Sides, The Elite Riot Gear is great as it stands, with only Heavy Duty Body Armor and Pokecraft Armor a possible contender for better protection...."

(...)

"Well, since you've sat through my speels about these high tech suits of armor, not to mention the weaponry available for purchase, and looked through the list of regular Anti Nuclear Items, do want any of it at all? If you can afford it in the first place, that is, though I might be willing to lower prices if you or anyone else is willing to do a few favors for me. Nothing too much of a big deal or pain in the ass, but you'll be working hard to get those discounts if you want them."

Custom Items

Stun/Status Grenades
Price (Without Markup): $1000 (Stun), $2500 (Sleep), $4000 (Paralyze/Burn/Free)
Effect: Each grenade can target up to 4 Pokémon at once (5 if the throw is a Crit) when thrown, where upon it will release its content/Explode and THEN release its contents. Can affect you and your allies if not careful, though, so keep that in mind! The effect/Damage vary depending on the Grenade, but between them four chance Dice are rolled to inflict their respective Status.
Stun Grenades Flitch all targets for 1 Action when detonated, and can Confuse/Badly Confuse (Need 3-4 Success on Chance Dice roll for later) but deal no damage (Think Flashbang).
Sleep Grenades do what the name implies, but this form of Sleep takes only 1-3 Success to wake up from, as non-Pokémon sleeping agents are not too effective on them; Deals no damage.
Paralyze/Burn/Freeze Grenades deal 1D6 Random Burst Explosion Damage of the Electric/Fire/Ice Type, dealing 1D8 Damage if Throw was Crit, and inflict their respective Status Ailment.

Hazma Suit
Price: $10000 Poke, $3000 Poke per additional Power Cell purchased
Effect: -        Offers Full Immunity towards Rads and Nuclear Damage (Lead Skin), and enables the uses to preform Strength/Increases the amt of Weight they can lift/move inside and outside of battle. However, it needs to be charged for all these benefits to work (2 Encounters Worth of Charging via plugging it in, or switching out Power Cells), and the charge will last only roughly an Encounter in Irradiated Zones. Additionally, it’s a rather bulky yet fragile piece of equipment, requiring time to put on (Several Actions), can only take so much ‘Damage’ before its compromises (~10 Damage), and reduces the Dexterity of the user by 1 if they do not have a natural Strength score of 4 or more, and – 2 Dex if the suit is compromised/runs out of power. Will Display ‘Power Gauge’ and ‘Suit’s Integrity’ in order to give user a good idea how much longer their protection lasts. Costs $10000 Poke, and Extra Power Cells $3000; Repair costs will vary depending on whether you do it, or who you take it to, and switching out a Power Cell will take all your Trainer Actions for a Round.

Elite Riot Armor
Price: $17500 For Suit, $7500 For Helmet, $25000 for the complete set.
Effect: Waterproofed, provides partial Thermal and Electrical Protections, AND Nuclear Resistance (- 1 Damage to Water, Fire, Ice, Electric, and Nuclear Attacks, and negates Rad accumulation). It also provides + 2/+3 Defense (Modded for + 3), - 1 Damage (General), Shock Absorbers ( - 1 Pain to user ONLY), and Bulletproof (Small to Medium Caliber Bullets and Ranged Physical Pokémon Moves deal – 1 Damage). The Helmet provides + 2 Alertness, Eliminates Accuracy Penalties imposes by low light/pitch black visibilities (Smoke/Cover/Etc Can Still Hinder You), Acts as a Gas Mask, and gives High Critical on all Actions (User ONLY). Wearing the Full Set also sets the user’s Intimidate and Allure Specialties to 5, and adds + 1 to each if either/both are already at that point. Also keeps the user perfectly comfortable! The downsides of this is that its bulky (- 1 DEX if below 5 Natural STR, - 2 if Below 3; Imposes a – 1 Accuracy/-2 Accuracy instead if your receive Special Training (Look Around) to run around in it and/or have + 5 STR (Natural) , its vulnerable to Arcane Energies ( + 1 Damage from Ghost, Dark, Fairy, and Psychic [Can be Modded to Remove Psychic Damage Increase]) , and automatically puts most people on guard/suspicious/outright makes them hostile if they don’t like/trust you to begin with (AKA: You do something prior or during a conversation that enrages them) when you interact with due to rightly looking like a intimidating badass, which scales with the Warning Level you have (Penalty with interacting with others unless you are trying to be Intimidating/Alluring [In the Warroir Sense]). Taking off the Helmet will reduce this effect, but not always, so their is that at least. Helmet can be worn over Face Cameo, but that really doesn't help the Cameo work at all, so...
