[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

You nailed it. When Nathan has slowly backed off - something a predator wouldn't often do - Tropius immediately scarfs down all the fruits, skins and cores and pits and all. She keeps sniffing the plate, hoping for more.

Yup, another plate of fruit is slid on over.  And another.  And another.  Tropius are big, hungry critters, after all, so Nathan came prepared!  He definitely wants to make a good first impression.

Tropius eats it all, then lies down. She looks sleepy, but she's still wearing a guarded expression. When she hits the floor, the whole Pokemon Center shakes.

@Spiritmon, I couldn't find the post where you stated that you've sent the Silk Scarf to me, I saw one yesterday. Maybe you deleted it?


One way or the other, Shiva does notice the promised Silk Scarf from Heart in her PC when placing healed up Yena into a Box of Bill's PC and when picking it up a dear smile forms on her face. This gesture from him is much appreciated, Heart can be sure that she'll give him her thanks by granting a favor when being asked or so.

Before she hands the scarf to a yet secret Pokemon, she tries it on herself - the feeling of it reminds her of home, in particular of her mother's pet. Precious Cinccino even comes with her to the Medal Office and doesn't know Aqua Tail, Iron Tail and Tail Whip as Egg Moves by coincidence.

It is now Day 67.

Happy Towel Day, everyone! The Hitmonchan's Guide to Creshire has this to say about Towel Day:

Towel Day is a holiday I invented to celebrate that after-training glow, where you have trained hard and it's time to relax in the shower or a sauna! Get rid of that well-earned sweat.

Towel Day is celebrated on May 25 of every year. So far, it seems like it will take off. It's been three years since it was invented (now several decades in 2017) and people are starting to carry their towels with them everywhere they go! It's a great way to identify other fans of the Hitmonchan's Guide! And a towel is a very useful item....




It's raining again today. Nurse Joy in Cress City has a pink towel slung over her shoulder as you come to the lobby for breakfast, and so does her Chansey.

Heart awake very soon today. He gonna go to Stair City to make some important things: Find a temporary job, get some items since they going to travel soon and finish his battle against Tanuki. But he first get some things done.

He summon Koa and greet the smol dragon. "Good morning Koa! Today you and I gonna go to a special training session. We soon gonna return to Cress City for you to settle things with Cottonnee. With your ability we have work you might have your chance to face that Fairy, but don't let that drop you guard down!" Heart change Koa Razor Claw for the Training Claw. "We gonna work in your Claws today to make them more sharp then before. Claws so sharp that even your dragon moves will hit dragons!"

Together, Heart and Koa go outside to train with his claws but not before he sent the Silk Scarf he have promised to Shiva. He also bring Caesar and Netune the Mudkip for training too. They soon find themselves in the Vapor Falls. "Okay guys. You too gonna train very hard today. In the last Training Netune we have work in your Ground side. Today we gonna work in your Water Side. Today training you gonna train hard in your swim abilities to increase your stamina in the battlefield and to also work in using the water element to increase your own water moves. This rain weather will also help you within that boost. Today lesson is use the weather to your own advantage."

"Caesar. If you want to become a powerful Nidoking, you first must be a strong Nidorino. Our goal is make your Horn be strong as a Drill (since Nidoking is know as the "Drill" Pokemon according to the Pokedex). We gonna also train your poison abilities to you learn summon powerful Poison Jabs. Sheer strength and Poison conection gonna be the training session of today! Let's go guys!"

Mechanics: Training session in the Rain Weather with Netune, Koa and Caesar. Don't forget the effect of training Claw who help Pokemon with Claws like Koa!

All your Pokemon gain 2XP, AND they all get training rolls! They're working hard, with all this talk of gym fights.

Neptune gets 11 Canalize dice +1 dice rain = (3)(5)(2)(6)(2)(1) (3)(3)(3)(5)(5)(5) = 5 bonus XP
Koa gets 11 brawl +1 claw = (4)(2)(1)(4)(6)(2) (3)(2)(6)(6)(5)(6) = 7 bonus XP
Caesar just gets 11 brawl = (4)(4)(6)( 2)(6)(2) (6)(1)(2)(4)(4) = 7 bonus XP, and no loss of points since his Loyalty is now caught up!

This marks a transition, when Caesar now just wants to work hard and learn to be a good battler for Heart and become a Nidoking. He probably doesn't know that a moonstone is the rarest stone!

"Behaving well now that you've been adopted and will journey with a human?"

Riolu shakes his head and smiles happily, offering Shiva a sopping handful of oatmeal. If she refuses, he uses it for warpaint. If she accepts, he tosses it to her underhand.

Vaporeon gains 1 Happiness from a Towel Day in the rain! It's the perfect day for water types.


Tanuki is inside, doing a Training Session between her Zigzagoon and a Gym trainer. In Cress, the Gym trainers normally do training sessions rather than battles.

"Five more minutes, Shiva. It is Shiva, right? I remember you from the Little Cup. I never forget such a cute face! :3"

When the session is over, Tanuki flounces over to Shiva and gives her a hug. "Let's go chat in the beanbag room. Here for a battle, or for Mt. Sentry stuff?"

[Dragonstrike]

Tropius eats it all, then lies down. She looks sleepy, but she's still wearing a guarded expression. When she hits the floor, the whole Pokemon Center shakes.

Whoa.

Nathan keeps his distance still, but he sits down on the floor too, just to indicate he's not coming any closer yet.  "My name's Nathan, by the way.  It's nice to meet ya."

Nathan stares at a corner of the ceiling for a moment.

"...must be rough, waking up in a strange place with no idea who you can and can't trust..."

He looks back at the super heavy sauropod.

"...if you'll let me, though, I hope we can become good friends one day.  We'll be seeing a lot of each other, after all.  Hehe."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Anubi is the most precious cinnamon roll of a Riolu, and a mischievous one on top of that, awww! She, eh, has to kindly refuse the offered hand of oatmeal with a delighted smile however, but pats him on the head between the ears if he allows to show that she DOES appreciate the gesture. Towel immediately becomes useful as with it, Riolu's warpaint is cleaned off.


Whoahw. Shiva has silently hoped that Tanuki would remember her from Little Cup, but that she indeed does - That left her speechless, all she can do is to joyfully return that hug ! <3 "I'm here for an awesome battle against nonelse but you yourself! But... I'm in no hurry, how have you been doing since Little Cup? How are your Zigzagoon doing, can I pet one? They're so cute!"ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ "Oh, and I saw your drawing in the Museum and I love it! Have you always been drawing?"

Talking about Mount Sentry stuff is boring, that's seemingly not what Shiva's here for.

This marks a transition, when Caesar now just wants to work hard and learn to be a good battler for Heart and become a Nidoking. He probably doesn't know that a moonstone is the rarest stone!

After the training session, everyone was ready to begin the day! Heart makes some changes in his team: He teach Typhon the move Coil for better STR, Defense and Accuracy, he takes Gustav Amulet Coin and temporaly give to Netune, he changes Koa Training Claw for his Razor Claw for chance to flinch foes, and of course makes a change in his team. The currently pokemon he have in his team is:

Typhon, Netune, Iron, Golett, Koa and Caesar. With the team ready, Heart prepare himself to return to Stair City. Since work takes to much time, he will take money in the way he best know: Battling! With Natu in hands, he came with a new order. "Are you ready Natu? Time to go to Stair City! The place with many buildings and big walls."

Mechanic: 4x4 double battle to be more quick. 600 Pokedollar on the tabble to use. Also, my first choices of pokemon Netune and Caesar. Both of them gonna work a bit in their training and get some XP.

Tropius eats it all, then lies down. She looks sleepy, but she's still wearing a guarded expression. When she hits the floor, the whole Pokemon Center shakes.

Nathan keeps his distance still, but he sits down on the floor too, just to indicate he's not coming any closer yet.  "My name's Nathan, by the way.  It's nice to meet ya."

He looks back at the super heavy sauropod.

"...if you'll let me, though, I hope we can become good friends one day.  We'll be seeing a lot of each other, after all.  Hehe."

Tropius lows again, then gets up and brushes forcefully past Nathan, out the door, through the lobby, and outside. She grunts whenever a raindrop falls on her plates, and she seems very grumpy that there's no sunlight.

Whoahw. Shiva has silently hoped that Tanuki would remember her from Little Cup, but that she indeed does - That left her speechless, all she can do is to joyfully return that hug ! <3 "I'm here for an awesome battle against nonelse but you yourself! But... I'm in no hurry, how have you been doing since Little Cup? How are your Zigzagoon doing, can I pet one? They're so cute!"ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ "Oh, and I saw your drawing in the Museum and I love it! Have you always been drawing?"

Talking about Mount Sentry stuff is boring, that's seemingly not what Shiva's here for.

"I think they only put up my drawing because I'm the Gym Leader, but yeah I draw all the time! It's a great way to relax from my duties."

"I've been doing well. It's very quiet here. Zigzagoon has found a few good items - lots of trading cards, a little whistle, a seedling in a glass ball. He has good taste. Of course you can pet any of them you like! : 3 They're very friendly. Watch out for the ones who have been practicing Pin Missile, though. They are a little pointy."

One of them gives Shiva an acorn, then goes sniffing around for another item to Pickup.

[Dragonstrike]

Tropius lows again, then gets up and brushes forcefully past Nathan, out the door, through the lobby, and outside. She grunts whenever a raindrop falls on her plates, and she seems very grumpy that there's no sunlight.

Well, guess we're still working on that whole trust thing.

Nathan follows to make sure the sauropod doesn't get into any trouble.  There's probably also a few...onlookers now.  It's not every day that you see a huge, rocky Tropius that has a tail, after all.

Upon seeing that Delta? Tropius is grumpy about the lack of sunlight, Nathan has an idea.

Out comes Forthright! (Currently in her Rainy form)

"Ya mind changing the weather for a bit to something less gloomy for our new friend here, Forthright?  I saw you were trying really hard to do that recently.  Try thinking about...warm, happy thoughts.  I think that should help."

Forthright's finally learning Sunny Day for 20 exp!  Let's see if that helps make Delta? Tropius a little bit less grumpy.
