[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Given that none raised their hand and screamed 'Here!' about the second Berry Pot the professor offered, Kee eventually took that one - he has adapted his grandparent's preferance for healing Status Alignments with Berries and Pokemon Moves instead of with these human-made medicine, so that actually comes in handy. Up in his room while waiting for his laptop to boot, he carefully planted a Ranc Berry into it - Yurei watches with interest and silent delight. (How long does it roughly take until a new Berry can be harvested @Dragonstrike, is any special care required?)

What he also does is summoning that new Grotle in his care - he does not do more than leaving her food and water at the moment though. She shall get used to his presence at her own pace while he is busy there at his laptop. Being a nightowl surely's coming in handy as after having received a PORTABLE PC invented by BILL himself(!!!), he definitely does not yet feel like sleeping!~



++The next Day++

Mechanical things

All Pokemon's Abilities stay the same. Delta Grotle's will be Thick Fat indeed.
Do we get that heartbeat-XP here as well? (That free 1XP each Day)

When our local musician and colorful Trainer-guy eventually wakes up, he immediately feels like just staying here in bed and not even consider going outside. It's way too cozy and it's way too early, and he's suffering fron slight headaches. 'Slight', he has had worse and this doesn't feel like anything a 500mg pill of aspirin©, and extra-glass of water and Octavia's Heal Bell can't cure. But, he'll abstain from blasting some hardcore vibes into his head via headphones, at least for half the day. What's bothering him more is that he actually can't clearly remember HOW and WHEN he turned in for the night, the last thing he does remember is that sweet feeling of having made it to synchronize the Box-Viewer on his laptop with this special portable-PC-watch. He can't retrieve Pokemon from his laptop like he can with this watch - but it auto-updates itself now everytime a change either in his party or his assigned PC Boxes is made. Oh.... He should have taken that watch off during the night probably, damnit.

Eventually though, he somehow DOES make it out of bed more because he has to than because he wants to, before making his way down the Lobby he just watches the hailstones crashing into the street from the window of his room for a little and turns towards that snowy turtle the good professor has given into his care yesterday evening. He gets down to be on/around eye level with her and speaks in a gentle tone. "Well, good mornin', you... Having made yourself a home here? You know who I am as I told you yesterday evening, and I know who YOU are as well. Stay with me, listen to me - or not, I won't force ya to do so ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌ - and see how we work out together, shall we? We'll be heading to some snowy place together...."

"....But before that, eat and enjoy." Kee offers that Delta Grotle one Ranc Berry and a handful of Gourmet Food, curious to see whether she takes food from the hand. "Y'also need a name. Yesyes, you do need one even if you'd be to make your way back to the professor...." He looks and watches that special turtle for a while, mumbling more to himself that to them. "You surely are pretty in that white color... It's reminding me on colder nights, that chilling fresh breeze and that pleasant silence when stepping out of a noisy place. ....Juhani, that will be your name now. I like that ring - sounds good to ya too?"

How long it takes to grow a small berry bush/tree in the berry pots depends on the berry being planted.  A Leppa Berry, for example, takes 24 hours to grow.  A Ranc Berry...I'll say that will also take 24 hours to grow.

Yeah, all trainers will get 1 xp as well at the start of the new day.

When Kee synchronized the Portable PC with his laptop's record of his PC, he noticed something odd: before he synchronized it with the PPC, his laptop was initially displaying an error message:

------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Connection with the PC Server was lost.
------------------------------------------------------------

But as soon as Kee linputs his trainer ID and password into the PPC and syncs it with his laptop, his laptop started to display the data as normal again.  There doesn't seem to be any sign of the error returning, either.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delta Grotle, being Naughty natured, initially doesn't want to take the food from Kee.  This is a pokemon that's proven that they can survive on their own, that they don't need help from outside sources.

However, having also survived in the harsh, cold climate of Sinnoh's frozen north and being a smart cookie, they also don't want to turn down free food when it's being offered to them.

And being a Grotle, they don't have any Disobedience (yet), so yes, Grotle will (reluctantly) take the food from Kee's hand.  Then she back offs into a corner of the room, jealously guarding her valuable nutrition.

When Kee suggests the nickname Juhani, Delta Grotle looks up from her snack and at Kee with narrowed eyes...

...

...then she goes back to eating her food, not seeming to react positively or negatively to the nickname.  Seems it doesn't particularly matter to her if Kee gives her a nickname or not.
