Shattered Earth: no one's Pokerole Campaign
#14
No One has been a little too busy to summarize the recent events of Shattered Earth, so SceptileScythe has stepped up to help our GM out a little with this.  Credit for the summary goes to Scep, and I'm posting here in No One's absence since I'm on the forums all the time anyways.  So without further adieu, here's Day 2!

Day 2: Summary

Everyone wakes up at about 7 in the morning.  The professor compliments Natalia on her new Alolan Grimer, and then proclaims that the day will be set aside for shopping for supplies. She also hints at a fifth member of their investigation team. The group goes with Jerry in his van (driven by a Mr. Mime) and get supplies like camping equipment and travel clothes. They then drive to the hospital to pick up medicinal supplies, where Rex is denied entry to see Beedee. Jerry apologizes and gives everyone $500 to spend on anything else they want to spend on, including lunch. The group buys supplies like potions, pokeballs, and other items they thought were important, and Rex spotted a TM for Hidden Power in the Mart, which everyone pitched in money to buy. After that Rex, Natalia, and Spencer ate pizza together, whereas Q decided to teach his Pokémon the newly bought TM instead. While they were eating pizza, Natalia initiated conversation and asked about her teammates, starting with Spencer’s interest in legends. Spencer answers by saying he’d like to look into the Celebi shrines and all the people who went missing, and asked Natalia if she knew anything about that. Natalia unconvincingly says that she doesn’t know much, but Spencer doesn’t pick up on it and instead asks Rex what his plans were. Rex shrugs off the question with a quip, but when a more specific question is asked about what Pokémon he wanted to see in the hospital was asked, he answers truthfully, a linoone. Neither Natalia nor Spencer question Rex any further. They all get some Seacrest Softserve to go after finishing their meals as well.

Q meanwhile manages to teach both his Pokémon Hidden Power successfully and meets up with the rest of the group half an hour later, presumable having eaten at some point. They get a message from Jerry on their phones from an app they didn’t have, telling them that they have that messaging app on a license, so it was relatively cheap to get, and also to come to the Devon Warehouse so they could meet up. On the way to the Devon Warehouse in the Warehouse District, Rex notices something is off, and quickly spots someone who was following them and calls this person out. Multiple people reveal themselves from the shadows and turn out to be the crew that Natalia sailed with to Seacrest City who want payback for the disrespect that Natalia showed them, as well as because he wanted revenge for Natalia “robbing his son of his rightful Grimer”. Rex tries to interrupt the man but is quickly yelled at and the situation devolves into a battle.
Natalia once again shows no respect for the sailor as all of them send out their Pokémon to battle.

The battle starts off in the favour of the protagonists as the weaker Pokémon on the sailors’ side are picked off relatively easily, while suffering minimal damage themselves. The sailor’s whose Pokémon went down tried to flee but a newcomer knocked them unconscious. This newcomer seems to be older than Spencer and introduces himself as Dexter, reveals that he is the fifth member of their group, then proceeds to join the battle as well. Dexter sends out three Pokémon: a Riolu, a Gastly, and a Midgardian Skorupi, which is a fire type. He also says that he has called the police so they could rest easy. With Dexter now as part of the group, the other sailors also go down relatively easily, with the chief sailor and his Throh and Honchkrow going down last. The sailor tries to run but is stopped by psychic energy that turns out to be from Jerry’s Mr. Mime. He then brings out a Swadloon and a Spinarak to string shot up the other sailors so they could be easily arrested by the police.

After the police arrive on the scene, Jerry takes the group back on his van back to the laboratory, where Natalia reveals that she knew the sailors before the scuffle to Jerry, much to his surprise, since he thought it was just a random mugging attempt. The conversation in the van remained mostly amiable. Once they reach the lab, the Professor chews out Jerry for letting the group go through the Warehouse District unsupervised, but lets him off relatively easy, then leaves the trainers to their own devices.

Natalia teaches her Pokémon Hidden Power and discovered that the Pokémon can’t just keep learning new moves, so she had to make Sal (her alolan Grimer) forget a move. Meanwhile, Rex tries to get the wild Kommo-o in the lab to train with him, but a miscommunication ensues, and it escalates into a full-blown volleyball game with people and Pokémon on both sides. During this time, Yasuho, Spencer’s Oshawott, picks up Hidden Power as well. Dexter joins in the volleyball game along with his Pokémon, while Spencer takes photos of the game and Q makes sketches of it. Meanwhile, Natalia is busy reading up on world history. The professor walks out and praises everyone for their actions and gives all of them a brown and white egg that is supposed to hatch soon. They soon head out to Route 1, and Spencer manages to convince a Solosis to join him without battling him and christens him as Mitos. Natalia then speaks up about the Pokémon she was looking for and asks Q to sketch it out for her, so everyone can have an idea of what they should keep a lookout for. It turns out to be a strange forme of Houndour, with its brain seemingly exposed and purple rings instead of the usual grey.

They soon run into a friendly couple and decided to stop there and set up camp for the night. Q explores a bit and runs into a Popplio who he manages to befriend, and christens Orpheus. Meanwhile, the group (minus Q) introduces themselves to this couple, who reveal that they did hear of a strange Houndour in Altheia Village. They soon turn in for the night.
