[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

You figure you have enough time to chat with one later before the first Rounds of the P-Thon begins: will you speak with a would-be competitor in Spectacle or the drop-out with the Wailmer?

haha I love that Pwee is a glutton even for water. Cool mechanics for this, too.


Lapras is a tryhard mon. Vernon will approach the Wailmer's owner and ask what tricks it knows and where it was obtained.

You approached the man, a soft faced and casually dressed settler with a tired yet proud face as he patted the side of his Wailmer comfortingly, going 'There there, we can always improve' . Getting his is easy, and though he was slightly hesitant at first to share or engage in conversation your ever affable demeanor manages to get both man and whale to crack smiles and be drawn in.

For Tricks: Their GIGANTIC Water Spout was supposed to be their ticket to the Bronze Leagues, but some bad mistiming on the beach ball's part cause it to 'short circuit' the Move and end up blasting the routund Mon out of the pool and nearly flattening a judge. He does share that Rain or using it after a Dive would have likely made them pull it off without a hitch, but such set-up is more reserved for Spectacle rather that Power dispaly.

For Where: He mentions fishing one up off the south coast of the Mageocracy while on work vacation there - he's a software designer and hobbyist Water Pokemon Watcher -  and becoming fast friends with the (then) abnormally small and runty Wailmor, getting a tearful smile and nuzzle from the Mon in question. For anywhere closer has got the man scratching his head for a moment, before mentioning that MAYBE you could find a stray one that has wandered off from one of the big pods in Deep Water and Far Away from the coast of Bayhama. Getting there without getting eaten or seriously waylayed on Pokemon Back would be a challenge (to say the least), while getting a boat geared up enough for that would be pricey. Either way you CUT it, getting a Wailmer was not the easiest thing unless you had connections and a LOT of Poke.

The Bronze Pokeathalon is about to begin - you still interested in joining, or has Vern got what he wanted out of the experience and is ready to wander off once more? If the later this would only count for a Minor Encounter and I'll calc XP for you and Pwee pronto, as well as any Loot you might obtain for giving up your spot to the next aspire in line.
