Welcome to the Cali Rex Game Corners Pokémon DND campaign
featuring Cindy, a young Vagabond from the Hohen region
with pyromaniac tendencies, Gimli, a stocky Burley miner
from Sino looking for his lost son, Elody, an enthusiastic
foodie and Baker from Carlos, and Schmidt, an enigmatic man
from Johto with a duck. My name is Rich and I'm the game
Master and this is Dunsparse and Grandpa.
Elodie, good morning, good morning.
You wake up in the cushy, pleasant, excellent, clean,
warm, comfortable bed and breakfast that the party decided
to splurge on because of the splurge, because of how well you
slept. You are feeling so good.
You feel sorry to take on this gym challenge and you gain a one
day D8 of inspiration for today. Let's go.
You are so well rest, so well rested.
You are just absolutely killing it.
It's probably about like 9:30-ish.
You have slept in a little bit. The smell of breakfast is
wafting from downstairs. Is there anything you would like
to do this morning before the gym challenge?
Definitely have breakfast. Cool, it's.
In the name of the bed and breakfast.
That's true. You head downstairs.
There is like a little kitchen, cafeteria, dining area.
It's, it's nice. It's, it's nice and quaint.
And there's only a couple other people who are in there.
They're doing like a continental breakfast thing where you serve
yourself. But it's all really good stuff.
They have meats and eggs and like cereals and anything you
could really want. And there is a very cute little
orange bipedal lizard wearing an apron with a flame on its tail
that is holding a stack of dishes.
It is busting them from tables. It seems very helpful and very
cute. That is epic.
Are you going to eat? What's your plan?
Want some coffee? Yes.
Give me all the RP or you don't have to, but I just wondered.
Definitely going to have all of my Pokémon come out and eat some
pre gym challenge breakfast. Awesome, that's sick.
You are now required to name what each of them decides to eat
for breakfast. All right, perfect.
Cabbage is definitely gonna have like if there's any like
pastries like a croissant or something.
Yes, absolutely it is there. Perfect.
Let's see. Grape juice seems like a bacon
eater. Eggs and bacon, like protein
breakfast bubble gum seems like like a bagel eater, like a
little blueberry bagel with some cream cheese on that.
Gotta match the color with the blue with the blueberry.
And then Key Lime is gonna have probably just cereal.
Key Lime is a baby, you know. Dry cereal or like.
I feel like Key Lime would be like self-conscious about
drinking milk in front of cabbage.
Key lime's too smart. Key Lime recognizes that like,
oh, you're like, you're a milk creature.
OK. Exactly.
Great. Thank you.
You really didn't have to do that.
But I'm really glad that you did.
Yeah. The whisk takers or whiskey
business enjoy a really pleasant breakfast before their gym
challenge. They noticed that none of their
friends are around the rest of the Quacko.
Paco is doing something else. Who knows what is LED.
Ready to take off? Yes, I'm ready to go.
OK, does she go anywhere before she heads to the Fallville Crawl
way? The Fallville Crawl Way Yes,
that's the name of. The mine, that is where the gym
is. That's awesome.
No, I think she just goes straight there.
Cool, she does so. It's not like a glamorous gym or
anything. It is in fact, a mine.
Whether it was designed for transportation or for harvesting
minerals, who knows? Hard to tell.
You are in fact not a minor. Gimli would probably know.
You walk in and there's your classic gym attendant.
They're standing there kind of serving a security and they ask
to see your trainer card. I provide my trainer card.
They say thank you very much and then they hand it back to you
and they say best of luck with your challenge today.
Thank you. Excellent.
Instead of a large red double door that usually go through for
a gym, you just walk In the mine.
There are little incandescent light bulbs that are dangling
from the ceiling, and they're little bits of gems and minerals
that are poking out from the rocky walls.
You walk forwards until you go into a square large room,
probably about 50 feet across, and there you are greeted at the
start of a mine cart shaft. There are two little girls, no
more than five years old. They see you approach and they
say hi trainer. Oh.
They say I'm Cleo and I'm Chloe and welcome to the gym.
Thank you. They say for your first
challenge we want a double battle.
Yay. That I can definitely do that.
Excellent. Choose two Pokémon for this
Double Battle. I am going to bring out cabbage
and Key Lime. Perfect.
The Dream Team. Dream Team.
Cabbage but it's a new evolved form as an alchemy and Key Lime.
Little little baby rods hit the field.
Cleo and Chloe sent out their Pokémon.
Cleo says go plussy and Chloe says go my me.
And then before you on the field are two little rat like Pokémon.
One is red and has a plus sign motif and one is blue and has a
minus sign motif and they are ready for battle.
Roll your initiative. Let's go.
I got a 22. They got a free Let's Go Cabbage
crew will be going first. What do they do?
All right, let's do this. Cabbage is going to be using
decorate on Key Lime. Decorate.
What does that do? Cabbage is going to fling it's
fake creaminess to Key Lime, and so for the remainder of the
encounter Key Lime will make attacks with advantage and will
impose disadvantage with damaging DC saves, and all of
their dice rolls are upgraded by 1 tier.
That's crazy. For the first time, cabbage
decorates an Ally, Key Lime feels invigorated.
It looks beautiful. There's all these little like
treats and sweets on it. Key Lime is feeling like a girl
boss and it's ready to take on this battle.
Girl boss. What does Key Lime do?
Key Lime is actually a gift sub. True.
Second name Key Lime is going to go for a disarming voice onto
the plazal. Disarming Voice always hits.
You will upgrade your dice tier, so if you have AD 6, that's AD
8D8 to D10, etcetera. So that will do 7 damage.
Seven points of damage, you said into puzzle.
Yes. All right, Keyline lets out a
little shriek, and Puzzle feels disoriented and takes a little
bit of fairy type damage. Now it is Cleo and Chloe's turn.
LED can clearly see that these two little mouse Pokémon have a
constant little sparky arc of electricity going between their
tails and their cheeks like they are connected together.
Some sort of feature is empowering them.
Chloe instructs Miney to use Helping Hand and Mine and does a
little dance and claps his hands and Plussle is feeling
invigorated and powerful. Then Plussle, out of nowhere
slaps its cheeks and suits out an arc of electricity directly
towards Alchemy in a size that is so much larger than what it
looks like Plussle could create. Rolling a Thunderbolt to hit
Alchemy? That's going to be a 24.
Yeah, that'll hit. The Thunderbolt connects with
Alchemy, dealing a total of 27 points of electric type damage
as Alchemy gets bombarded with a bolt of lightning that just
seems impossibly powerful for what these two little mice can
do. Cleo and Chloe go yay, and
they're so excited, and they're so happy that their Pokémon are
doing so well. It is now LED's turn again.
All right, cabbage is going to go for a drain and kiss onto the
plussle. Excellent world to hit.
Awesome. Let's go does a 23 hit.
It sure does. I'm actually rolling well today.
Let's go. Finally.
Finally, that will be 19 damage. 19 points of fairy type damage.
A significant blow in the puzzle not taking it very well.
It seems like puzzle is in pain. Nicely done alchemy.
Alchemy would be recovering HP but I believe there are no
they're not at full. How much do they recover?
So they would recover 9, right? Yep, 9 points of HP stolen from
poor innocent plussy. Yoink.
What will Key Lime do? Key Lime will go for a
confusion. Into who?
The Plusle. OK, is that a save or is that a
roll to hit? That's a roll to hit.
OK, you advantage also. Will an 18 hit?
It sure will. Actually, there's a dirty 20.
I forgot about the twisted spoon.
Even better. Then that would be AD 10 because
of decorate that will do 12 damage. 12 points of psychic
type damage as a beam of psychic energy collides with Puzzle, the
only significant amount of HP. Seems like Puzzle doesn't have a
whole lot of energy left in it. However, still gonna do its
best. Mining and Puzzle are gonna do
the same old song and dance. Mining, doing a little groove,
doing a little move, inspiring Plussle to do extra damage with
a helping hand. Then Plussle releases a
Thunderbolt, this time into Key Lime.
Oh no, does a 10 hit Key Lime? It will not.
Right as the Thunderbolt is about to connect with the little
baby Ralts, Ralts nimbly teleports out of the way and
move slightly to the side. And then there's a significant
smoking crater left where the Thunderbolt was about to hit.
Very good for Key Lime. Huge.
All right, back to L DS team. Amazing.
This time I'm going to have Cabbage go for a dazzling gleam,
so they both have to make a charisma save.
Both of them plussle fails, mining fails, They both fail.
Did they so it was a 14? Did they either of them fail by
5 or more? Plussle did, mining did not.
OK cool I will roll the damage so Plussle is blinded.
If it survives, I don't know how much it has left 25. 25 points
of fairy type damage, a huge blow to both of these cute
little mice. Pokémon Plus Soul gets stars in
its eyes, cannot see and falls into the dirt.
Knocked Out Mining Hanging On managed to just narrowly avert
its gaze to avoid being blinded temporarily and is now the sole
mouse standing versus Key Lime and Cabbage.
Key Lime, it is your turn. Let's go Key Lime is gonna go
for another confusion. Cool.
Does a dirty 20 hit. Dirty 20 does in fact hit Show
me the damage. Let's go no bad roll that will
do 5. Five points of psychic type
damage. I forgot to.
I rolled natural 17 on the attack and so since it's 16 or
greater it's also confused. True, and you upgraded your
damage dice, correct? Yes, I did.
OK cool, five points of psychic type damage into Mine and
Standard without its ally. The arcs of electricity that
surrounded its body are now gone, and it is also now
confused as the psychic blast messes with its tiny mouse mind.
Mine struggling Dizzy will now try to do its best to finish off
this battle, going for a lonely Thunderbolt in the Key Lime.
Will a 21 hit? Yes, that will hit.
Without the boost from its ally, mine is not confident that they
can do as much damage. They miss their friend Plussy.
However, they still managed to get a sizable 14 points of
Electro type damage. The Whisk Takers may take
another action and end this battle.
It may just happen. I think cabbage is going to go
for another dazzling gleam. All right, making the Charisma
save right? Yes.
That is going to be a 19. OK, so they pass.
Yes, correct. All right, Key Lime is going to
go for another confusion. Let's go Natural 20.
Natural 20 Key Lime but the big crit with the boosted dice
damage. Crits are.
You automatically get the minimum roll or sorry, you
automatically get the maximum roll and with decorate that
increases your damage dice so. So the 13 plus D10, right?
Yes, yeah, you get the maximum roll and then you add your
regular roll and you got to incorporate your damage
increases and that's going to be crazy.
So that'll be 21 points of. 21 points.
As Key Lime critically invades the mind of this mine into
drainage of all of its last energy.
It falls backwards into the rocky dirt, and the battle has
concluded. Cleo and Chloe are very
impressed. They say, wow, you're so strong,
you're so cool, we want to be like you when we grow up, Yay.
And they reach into their pockets, seeking spare change.
And there they find one of them has $8 and one of them has
$7.00. And they give you the money.
Thank you. I say please don't try and give
it back. The last one of the guys who
came in here tried to do that and it's our job to give you
money. You.
Better take it. Yeah, I I appreciate your money.
They say thank, we're entrepreneurs.
I respect the hustle. Cleo and Chloe say you you can.
You can get in this minecart and it'll take you to the next
challenge. OK.
Thank you and good luck with your next battle.
I say thank you, bye. And they are just smiley, happy
little kids. Do you enter the minecart?
You do. So it's fun.
It's like a steady clip of like 15 mph 1515.
It's not scary, but it's a little speedy.
It's mostly straight line, but you are going up and down,
primarily down. You're mostly going down and you
notice that around you the gems and minerals that are around.
There's also these really distinct glowing orbs that line
the ceilings and the walls. It's so much to the point where
they don't really need artificial lighting in here.
Roll a perception check. OK, I got a 21. 21 You can see
if you peer over the side of the minecart that without a shadow
of a doubt, all these little orbs are being cherished by
that. You know what they are?
They're Pikachu. There's a ton of Pikachu in this
cave and there's all these little orbs on the walls and
they just love them. It's like catnip.
They're just hanging out. They're having such a good time.
There's like little sparks flying everywhere and stuff.
They're so happy and cute and they seem really harmless.
It seems like if you jumped out of the minecart they would just
want to hang out with you. Elodie enjoys her ride to the
next destination and there she arrives at a metal platform.
It is slightly raised above the the ground and there's lots of
brilliant gems and jewels and things lining the rock walls.
There sands a young man. He's got some messy hair, he's
wearing a Plaid shirt and he has a strap around his neck that is
connected to a flash bulb camera.
He says Welcome trainer, my name is Edward.
I'll be your second challenge. Awesome.
He says for this battle, we're going to have a single battle
and you can use up to three Pokémon.
Is this like one of those where like if I use 1 he only uses one
type deal? Yes, he will adjust.
OK, I I'm definitely going to use grape juice.
Trying to decide if I want to use anybody else.
You know what? Yeah, let's do it.
I'll do 2. I'll do grape juice and cabbage.
OK, very good, Edward says to It is let the battle begin and roll
your initiative. Sounds good, I got an 18.
You got a dirty 20. Edward will be going first.
He sends out his first Pokémon, throws out a pokeball, and
standing before you is a bipedal pink sheep with a cute little
orb on its tail. It seems like it's wool is
clumped together very tight, and if it vibrated it would create
electricity, he says. You got this, Flaffy and Flaffy
goes. Who do you send out?
I'll send. Out to cabbage first.
Cabbage, it's the field. Let the battle begin.
Edward yells over to you. He says if you don't mind, I'd
like to take pictures during our battle.
Is that OK? Yeah, that's perfect.
Just let us know so we can pose. He says, oh, you'll know what's
coming. And he says, Flaffy, you know
what to do. And Flaffy goes man, a very
determined voice, and Flaffey holds its arms out, stares
directly at Cabbage and charges electricity and does nothing
else at the same time. His name's Edward, yes.
At the same time, Edward finds a good dynamic position and kneels
closer to the ground, and you can hear the sound of his
flashbulb charging up. It's like a little kind of
sound. It's now LDS turn.
OK, Cabbage is going to go for a Mr. OK.
Let's see it. Does a 21 hit.
It sure does. Also, any attack it makes before
the end of its next turn is disadvantage.
Correct. That will do 20 damage. 20
damage on a coverage move. I know, right?
That's very powerful, yes. 20 points of fire type damage as
Cabbage lets out a mystical ball of fiery energy and it connects
with Flaffy and seems to disorient.
It seems like it is distracted and it's lost some willpower.
The charging happens regardless and Edward posing his camera
facing towards Cabbage says ready now and he presses the
trigger and a brilliant flash comes out of the camera and at
the same exact moment Flaffy discharges an incredible
Thunderbolt directly towards Cabbage.
Have Cabbage make a Dexterity save with advantage.
OK, Oh, we got a nine. That will not be good enough.
An incredible Thunderbolt generated from Flappy's wool
connects with Cabbage the alchemy, dealing a grand total
of 27 points of electrotype damage.
An oppressive display. You are not paralyzed.
You're lucky, Edward says. Oh, I got a good one.
And Flappy goes, and it seems very confident.
What will Cabbage do in response?
Cabbage is gonna go for a draining kiss.
OK, we'll to hit that. We'll let 25 hit.
But 25 will in fact hit. That is correct.
Let's go 21 damage. 21 points of damage.
Cabbage hitting Hard Out Here. Let's go.
Significant blows being exchanged.
You're going to recover 10 and have cabbage roll AD 4 for me.
We got a four. Okay, cabbage is fine for now,
but as Cabbage made that smooch onto Flaffy, she noticed that
this little lamb is statically charged and could be dangerous
to make contact with. It is now Edward and Flaffy's
turn. Edward says it was so nice, we
better do it twice and he finds a new position.
He kind of like dips under the platform so that he's like at
ground level to get a good, good photo here and flaff sticks his
arms out, begins vibrating its wool and charging up an attack
at the same time you hear Edward's flashbulb charging up.
It is now L DS turn again all. Right this time gonna go for a
dazzling gleam. OK, it got a nine.
Then it will fail. No.
What's the? DC-16.
The DC-14. Oh.
Failing by 5 or more. That's failing by 5, so yes.
Yes. Find it.
Let's go. We will do 15. 15 points of
fairy type damage as Flaffy's bombarded with fairy lights
smacking into its face. It seems like it is running out
of breath. It is feeling very tired and
exhausted, and it cannot see right now.
As such, it will dispel its Thunderbolt attack at
disadvantage as Edward takes a photograph at the exact moment
that the Thunderbolt flies out or sorry, it will not attack a
disadvantage. You will save with advantage.
We got a 12. 12 fails. Flaffy, using its intuition and
it's a capability of electricity, knows exactly where
cabbage is and launches an impressive mighty Thunderbolt
directly at it, dealing 23 points of electric type damage.
Flaffy out of breath, still very proud, and Edward says wow, that
was a great shot, way to go. Flaffy Goes Bare is now Eled
Eastern. We're gonna go for another
dazzling gleam. Christmas Save.
Christmas save Yes. Flaffy got a 12.
That is a fail, but not blinded this time.
That will do 12 damage. 12 points of fairy type damage as
Flaffy is once again bombarded by fairy lights.
It's eyes turn over in its head and it falls to the ground,
knocked out. Let's.
Go. Edward says.
Flaffy return. You did great, Flaffy
unconsciously goes. Bam.
Edward says all right, you did well, but get ready for my
second. It's your turn, and he throws
out a pokeball and before you, what you see is not an
electrotype. You are immediately bombarded
with the smell of a cross between floral, pleasant and
rotting flesh. There is a small blue orb with
legs and hands. Its mouth is open.
It's drooling a little bit and has a flower atop its head with
brilliant red, orange. It looks like it's asleep.
Edward says. All right, Gloom, I know you got
this. And Gloom, says Gloom, and it
begins funneling a light energy into its bulb.
All of the lights that are in the room and all the lights that
are reflecting off of the gems and minerals that line the walls
are being absorbed in. The room grows noticeably
darker. At the same time, Edward charges
up his camera. What will Cabbage do?
OK, cabbage is gonna go for a mystical fire.
OK, roll the hits. With an 18 hit.
It sure does. I will roll the damage and then
any move it makes before it end of its next turn is
disadvantage. True.
That will do we double the dice for super effective.
Correct. That will do 32 damage.
Jeez. No, right, That's crazy.
Cabbage is unstoppable. 32 damage just like that, my
goodness. Dealing nearly half of Gloom's
HP in one go as Gloom feels disoriented and mystified by the
mystical fire. Regardless, it is too late.
Gloom has been charging up energy and it is time for Gloom
to release it. Edwards says Ready now, and
Gloom goes Gloom, and fires off a brilliant solar beam into
cabbage. Cabbage may make a Dexterity
save with advantage. Oh but gosh oh boy, rolled A1
and A2. Oh no, musical fire doesn't
matter at all as Cabbage gets pelted with enormous solar
blast, dealing 25 points of grass type damage.
How's Cabbage doing? Cabbage is still alive.
Not doing great, but still alive.
OK, we love to hear it. Edward Cheery says Gloom.
You did it. And gloom goes gloom, and they
seem very pleased. What will Cabbage do?
Cabbage is going to go for another mystical fire.
OK. Oh no, that was a six.
OK, not great. We're doing great.
Cabbage shoots out another beam of mystical fire, a little
Willow wisp dashing towards Gloom, and Gloom just got our
rolls. Gloom just rolls out of the way.
Gloom's like I ain't having that.
And you wonder how Gloom did it with its eyes closed.
Edward says. All right, it looks like for
this shot we got to keep our targets still.
Use sleep powder. And Gloom goes Gloom, and it
shakes its leaves towards Cabbage, and Cabbage must make a
con save. Cabbage has sweet veil.
True cabbage cannot be put to sleep, and Edward has learned a
new secret about fairy types that look like whipped cream.
It is now cabbage's turn. Let's go go in for another
mystical fire. All right.
Let's go. That'll be a 22 to hit.
Sure does. Then that will be 28 damage. 28
already, geez. Another massive blow as cabbage
launches another mystical fire towards Gloom.
Gloom having a hard time. Looks like it's leaves are
getting a little singed up, little smoked up.
The smoke that comes off of their leaves is not black though
is in fact pink. Pink.
Interesting, Edward says. Come on Gloom, I know you got
this, Gloom, says. Gloom, very determined but weak,
starts charging up solar energy from all the lights in the room.
It becomes increasingly dark and Glooms bulb begins to glow.
What will cabbage do? Going to go for one last
mystical fire. Yes, there'll be a 22 to hit.
OK. Oh, let's go.
That was like an amazing series of rolls that will do 37 damage.
The heck? I know.
Alkervy is unstoppable. I mean, they just evolved so it
makes sense, but holy moly, Cabbage fires off one last
mystical fire. The Willow wisp that forms has a
cute little :) on it, and as it connects with Gloom, it
dissipates and Gloom let's off a smile and falls backwards and
the battle has ended. Let's go, Edwards says.
Wow, I haven't Take out your first Pokémon.
I've never seen that thing before.
What is it? It's an owl, creamy.
He says amazing, it looks so cute and he reaches into his
pocket and gives you $29.00. Oh nice.
He says, I don't know how many more trainers I have left today.
So this is probably just I'll just give you the rest of the
funds that I have for for paying out trainers.
Congratulations. Why?
Thank you. He also fully heals your party.
Let's go. Is that just HP or?
PP All of it. All of it.
Oh, let's go give you all the. All the exact medicine you need
to get back to, he says. Only one challenge awaits you.
Are you ready? I'm so ready.
He says great, and he steps off the platform that you're
standing on and he just kind of waves at you while you stand
there. And Ality might be wondering
what I need to go somewhere. And then all of a sudden, the
platform that you're standing on begins to move.
It slides along the rails of the minecart track and you find
yourself delving deeper and deeper into the mine.
Eventually it opens up into a large chasm at least half a mile
wide, and it parks itself right next to a little pedestal where
a man sitting in a wheelchair is sitting.
He has creamy Snow White hair and a beard.
And you've seen him before. His name is Watson.
He asked you to go to new model. He wheels up to you and he says
welcome, great to see you again. It's nice to see you too.
He says. I hope you're ready for a
thrilling battle. I've had some great contenders
today and I'm sure you will not be an exception.
I don't doubt it. He instructs you to prepare for
a single battle with three Pokémon.
The order that you choose is significant.
OK, I'm gonna go with bubble gum first, then grape juice and then
cab. Or yeah, and then cabbage.
Dream Team As you stand there deciding your team, you notice
that in each corner of this platform that you're standing on
of the battle pitch. They're little pillars that
stick out of the ground up to about waist height, and they
have orbs on the top of them. They are like electrodes or
plasma coils or something as right before the battle's about
to begin, they all light up and electricity arcs around them,
creating like an electric force field around the platform.
You also notice as you prepare to send out bubble gum, that the
three Pokeballs of the Pokémon that you've chosen.
The buttons on the front are lit up red.
What does it mean? Watson says.
At this gym we have a special technique called the Volt
Switch. I hope you're ready for a
dynamic and ever changing battlefield.
Oh no. Roll your initiative.
I got a 12. He got a three.
Watson sends out his first Pokémon.
It looks strikingly similar to the ones that you saw inside the
bind on your way here, except it is a little chubbier, larger,
orange in color, lawn black tail with a lightning bolt on the
end, and adorable yellow cheeks. Raichu.
What will you do versus Raichu? All right, we've got bubble gum
out. I'm going to go for a bubble
beam. Let's see it.
Is that a save? No, that's a real good I got an
11. 11 does not hit. Raichu Nimble and dexterous,
Raichu swats its tail at the incoming bubbles and they all
pop. No chance.
Raichu not trying to mess around.
Six. Its tail up in the air, kneels
down, not kneels down. It scrunches over and its cheeks
vibrate and release a brilliant Thunderbolt directly towards
bubble gum. A 25 should hit.
Yeah, that'll hit. Incoming super effective
electrotype damage. I'm worried.
Raichu deals a modest total of 21 points of electrotype damage.
Not too bad in this moment. Watson's Pokeball automatically
recalls Raichu and the L DS Pokeball automatically recalls
bubble gum, and they are replaced with grape juice.
Versus a Pokémon that is made of mechanical parts with three eyes
and six magnets. It is a magneton.
What will grape juice do? Grape juice is going to go for a
mud bomb. Mud Bomb.
Does a 17 hit. It does break the armor class of
Magneton. Very good.
That will do 21 damage. Oh and then also it has to make
a con save. Magneton making a con save,
Could it be it rolls A6? I don't know what the DC is for
this, it doesn't say. Oh, it doesn't.
It's not part of the move. It's, I mean, it's part of the
move, but it just gives me the power to hit and it doesn't give
me the DC for the concept. Tell me the effect and I'll tell
you what the DC should be. It says on a failure their next
attack or save. Is that disadvantage?
And what's your proficiency bonus should be 14.
Got it. So it did fail.
Yes, that is correct. So it is that disadvantage on
its next turn. Yes.
Understood. Magneton got mud all over its
eyeballs. How is it gonna do anything?
That's a great question, because it will start spinning its
magnet pieces and it starts to become loud shrieking, in fact,
so loud that it is channeling a Sonic boom and requests an
advantage con save from grape juice.
Oh. That's good.
They wrote two nines, so that's a 12.
A 12 to save. Yes.
It is not good enough as Sonic waves dash towards grape juice
and pelt its body and disorient its ears, dealing a precise
unrolled 20 points of normal type damage.
At this moment, after Magneton's attack, Magneton is recalled and
grape juice is recalled. Outcomes cabbage versus a blue
wolf with a yellow mane that is pointed up in the air.
It is none other than Watson's ace Manectric.
What will cabbage do? Bitch is going to go for a
dazzling Glee. Menactric is not noticeably
charismatic whatsoever and rolls a nine and gets no additional
bonuses. It rolled A9 but it that is
failing by 5:00 so it would be blinded but it's not or.
No, I'm I'm basically just flavor telling you that
Menactric is not charismatic at all.
It is very stoic in its personality.
So it's bad at Christmas Eve's. OK, so it does get blinded.
Yes. Awesome, that will be 16 damage.
Not a bad hit at all as Cabbage releases its fairy lights and
attempts to disorient Menactric, which succeeds.
Menactric, frustrated, sparks up its jaws.
They're coursing with electricity, and it dashes
forwards and attempts to Thunder feign Cabbage and a roll at
disadvantage because I'm blinded.
I got a 2 on my second roll. Menactric charges forwards with
its jaws open and just completely misses Cabbage.
It turns around and growls. At this moment, the Volt switch
triggers. My next trick has returned and
outcomes Raichu versus bubble gum.
All right, this time bubble gum is going to go for a hyper
voice. Hyper voice it is.
That's a save con, right? No, that's a roll to hit.
OK, does a 14 hit. It does not.
No. So sad, so close.
Bubble gum can like Neverland hit.
This is so sad. Yeah, Bubble Gum's got to do
something about this. Bubble Gum screams at Raichu and
Raichu covers its ears and looks away.
Refuses to be influenced by the hyper voice.
On Raichu's turn, Raichu swings its tail towards Bubble Gum,
launching a material from it. It looks like it is a spider web
that is electrically charged as an Electro web attempts to
connect with Bubble Gum does a 17 hit.
Yes. All right, rolling super
effective Electro web damage. Oof, 26 points of electric type
damage and bubble gum is covered in a shocking sticky Electro
web. At this moment the Volt switch
activates and recalls Raji for Magneton.
The Volt switch must make a roll to see if it can get past the
electric web that is covering bubble gum.
It cannot. Bubble gum stays on the field
versus Magneton. What will bubble gum do?
Oh no, I am in torrent range right now currently so I'm gonna
go for a bumblebee. Let's see it.
Please hit bubble gum. Bubble gum.
Will an 18 hit? It does.
OK, that's good. That will do 15 damage. 15
points of water type damage boosted by Torrent because
bubble gum's not feeling too great.
Magneton sees a clear opportunity to pick off a target
and launches out a bolt of Thunder.
A Thunderbolt. Will it connect?
Will a 12 connect with bubble gum?
No it will not. Barely missing, Magneton still
got some mud in his eyes. Not fully able, Magneton is
recalled by the Volt switch and outcomes A manectric.
The Volt switch mechanism still needs to work its way around the
webbing that is on Bubble Gum, but after these turns of battle,
a little bit less of it is on Bubble Gum's body.
It succeeds. Bubble gum is withdrawn.
Outcomes Grape juice versus Menactra.
OK, grape juice is going to go for another mud bomb.
My bomb it up. That'll be a 21 to hit.
That does connect. Awesome, that'll do 21 damage.
21 points of ground type damage as a mud.
A bomb of mud is thrown atop Menactric, dealing a significant
blow to a Pokémon that seems kind of frail.
Menactric will retaliate. Watson is familiar with Hoenn's
starters, and Watson is aware that Marsh Stomp is in fact
ground type. However, he still lacks decent
coverage. Watson is trucks Menactric to
use a Fire fame as it charges towards Marsh Stomp with jaws
ablaze tend to hit. That will not hit.
Menetric is just not doing well today.
Menetric chomps into grape juice.
It's flaming jaws and grape juice just shrugs and takes it
and just is completely oblivious to the fact that it was supposed
to be an attack. Grape juice and Menetric are
recalled. Outcomes.
Raichu outcomes Cabbage. A new match up for cabbage.
Raichu has managed to avoid it all damage so far.
Not for long. Cabbage is gonna go for a
mystical fire, because why not? Yeah, great attack.
Dirty 20. That connects.
It is also now blind or not blinded, but it will attack with
disadvantage. That'll do 13, damn it. 13
points of fire type damage is Raichu is pelted with another
mystical Willow wisp coming from Al Krimi.
Very spooky. Raichu gonna do what Raichu does
best. Shoot out an Electro web from
the swing of its tail in an attempt to trap Al Creamy in
place at disadvantage. It's the first rolls of what?
It does not succeed. The web just completely goes
wide. It falls off the platform.
You fool. At that moment, the two Mons are
recalled. It's bubble gum versus Magneton.
All right, gonna gonna try it. Gonna go for another bubble
beam. Still got torrent?
Still got torrent. We're still alive.
We can do this. We rolled it too.
So. We don't got this bubble gum.
Magneton knows what's coming and zaps each individual bubble as
it comes in. Just just making them pop.
No chance. Magneton swings its little
metallic pieces around, each one of them gaining a new color.
One of them becomes red, one of them becomes bright yellow.
One of them becomes a chilly blue.
It launches 3 orbs at bubble gum simultaneously, and bubble gum
must make a Dexterity save BC 13.
All right, we can do this. Roll an 11.
An 11 is not good enough. No.
Roll AD 4. D4 OK got a 2.
A2 bubble gum experiences significant pain coming from the
red orb, and bubble gum is now burned from the Tri attack.
Also, it happens to deal 7 points of normal type damage.
Oh, OK, We're still alive, just barely.
How much? Barely, because you will take
your proficiency modifier worth of damage from the burn on your
next turn if you haven't. Acted yet turn.
Next time, yes, next time you take an action.
OK, correct. For now, we're good.
For now, you're good, and for now, 95 and bubble gum are
swapped out. It's grape juice versus
menactric yet again. Menactric not looking so hot.
This time, grape juice is going to go for a Whirlpool.
Whirlpool it up. That will be a nine to hit.
That does not connect with an electric Menactric doesn't care
about. Whirlpool.
Still has a bad match up here though.
Going to try and roll that Fire fame again.
Gosh, 11 to hit. That will not hit.
Menactric feeling frustrated? Well, as a bonus action, use
quick attack and attempts to try to get another attack.
Gets 13 to hit. That will not hit.
Menactric is utterly worthless in this matchup.
The shiny Marsh Tom is just too oblivious to the physical
attacks that Minetric is dishing out.
Minetric is recalled and comes Raichu.
Grave Juices is recalled and comes Cabbage.
Raichu is for sure the healthiest member of Watson's
team currently. Cabbage is gonna go for a
dazzling gleam, so it needs to make a Charisma save.
Incoming Charisma 8. Failed and also blinded.
Right. You know how much damage?
Fool, that'll be 18 damage. Geez, significant blow of very
bright blinding lights leaving Raichu blinded, unable to see.
Raichu just got a Willy nilly fire off a Thunderbolt.
See if it happens to connect with its target it will.
A dirty 19 was its lowest roll. Dang, OK.
As a Thunderbolt launches off, dealing a modest amount of 13
points of electric type damage, Cabbage tanking fairly
comfortably, not terrible. And then once again, the Pokémon
are recalled. Magneton versus Grape Juice.
One of these Pokémon could be knocked out.
This turn is almost guaranteed that at least one of them will
faint. So as far as the burn damage
goes, does it go into effect after I move or before?
Whenever you take an action. Got it.
Cool, awesome and epic. All right, we're gonna do it.
Bubble gum is gonna go for a bubble beam.
Uh huh. Bubble it up.
Does an 18 hit. It sure does.
Let's go. That will do 17 damage. 17
damage as bubbles connect with magneton, rusting away at its
metal pieces, and one by one each magnet screw and orb falls
to the ground, knocking out magneton from.
The back is also knocked out. Bubble gum, with their last
breath, succumbs to her bird and is also knocked out one for one.
A brilliant duel. The battle is not over.
Menactric versus grape juice. All right, back to the basics.
We're going for another mud bomb.
Mud bomb it. Dang it, that is a nine to hit.
9 to hit will not succeed. Menactric's too nimble.
This battle is a Pokémon that is too tanky and a Pokémon that is
too nimble and not strong enough.
Can Menactric do something this turn with a fiery fame?
The answer is 18 to. Hit should work, yes.
However, I'm going to protect. Could it be the Protect reaction
guaranteed once per battle it happens.
Manetric lunges forward, identifies a weak spot in Grape
Juice's hide, but Grape Juice anticipates it and protects that
area from receiving any damage. Another Nil turn in this
matchup, returning Raichu and Cabbage.
Cabbage is going to go for another dazzling gleam, so
charisma save. Raichu gets a natural one.
Let's go blinded. Blinded by the light yet again.
Huge damage 26. Jeez, 26 points of fairy type
damage and Raichu is yet again blinded, mystified.
It looks like it's getting worn down.
It looks all dusty and dirty. Its eyes are closed, can't see
anything. Raichu is going to do their best
to pin down this cabbage with another Electro web.
Perhaps the last attack it will be able to get off at
disadvantage. Well it crit one and then it got
a dirty 20 on the other. Electro web will connect as the
web encapsulates how creamy, dealing a total of 12 points of
Electro type damage. Raichu is then recalled and
outcomes monetric. The Volt switch mechanism is
gonna to attempt to grab cabbage and it fails.
Cabbage stays on the field. It is cabbage versus manectric
this turn. All right, I'm going to go for
another dazzling game, so it's got to make Christmas save.
Manactric was a nine. Let's go another blinded.
So much blinding. Yeah.
Especially bad for manactric. That is 20, damn it.
Geez, this thing's supposed to be a support.
I know, right? I'm glad I don't know.
I'm happy with it. Cabbage deserves a Cabbage has
been working really hard all right.
Menactric jaws, a spark and opt in for the Thunder Fang.
The lower roll at disadvantage was a 17 to hit.
That will hit. Using its keen sense of smell as
a canine Pokémon, it identifies the location of Alchemy because
it smells so sweet, chomps right down on its fairy body, dealing
a grand total of 20 points of electric type damage.
Menactric switches out and comes Raichu.
The voltage mechanism attempts to grab Alchemy and fails.
Alchemy is still on the field versus Raichu.
Oh gosh. Raichu staring down cabbage.
What will cabbage do? This time we're gonna go for
mystical fire. OK.
Does a 16 hit. Sure does.
Awesome, that will be 15 damage. 15 damage as a mystical fire
Willow wisp launches towards Raichu, connects with it right
on its lips like a little kiss. And Raichu.
It falls to the ground, defeated.
Only one of Watson's Pokémon remains.
However, the Volt switch is no problem returning cabbage.
Therefore, it is now grape juice versus Menactric.
Menactric panting, struggling to keep up.
All right. And it is Grape juice's turn,
right? Correct.
Gonna go for another mud bomb. Let's see it.
Does a 13 hit. It does not Menactric gonna do
its best. It's the last of Watson's
options. We do its best to land an attack
here. It's a natural 20 critical hit
Fire fame. First off, grape juice is
burned. Second off, grape juice would
flinch. However, they're going to be
returned to their ball, so that is a nice little invasion.
Be sure to mark they are burned and let's look at that damage
feeling. A total of 43.
No sorry, it's resisted. Oops, just I was.
Like that's resisted. Yeah.
No, no, no, it's ours. Excuse me. 21 points of fire
type damage and is now burned. However, is returned for cabbage
and the metric stays on the field.
Cabbage is going to go for a classic draining kiss.
Love it. Does a 12 hit.
Does not Menetric 2. Speedy 2.
Nimble refuses to give in, and powered by that last critical
hit, we'll go for another Thunder fame getting the 12 to
hit. That will not hit.
Won't happen. More of attrition.
Cabbage goes back in, burned grape juice comes back out.
What will grape juice do? Grape juice this time is
actually going to go for an uproar so it has to make AI
think this is a con save. Does it not say?
Because it says that at the beginning of each turn after I
start uproar they have to make con save and that it has like
ADC but it doesn't say what it is.
Yeah, it's con. That makes sense.
So con save 14. Natural 20.
No. If there was damage coming off
of that hyper voice, Menactric dodges at all.
Very unfortunate and you take burn damage equal to your
proficiency bonus. Menactric seeing this target
goes for the fire fame. It's a 2.
Frustrated as a bonus action goes for the quick attack.
It's a natural three. No Menactric do something.
Cabbage comes in, grape juice comes out.
Cabbage do something. Cabbage is going for another
draining kiss. OK.
It's got this. It's got this.
This time does an 18 hit. It does.
Please cabbage. Please, cabbage, please.
Rolling up and the suffering. Yes, that'll be 16 damage. 16
points of fairy type damage with cabbage recovering. 8 Manectric
dashes forward, jaws sparking, and right as it approaches
cabbage it slips and falls to the ground, knocked out, drained
of all of its life energy. Let's.
Go Cabbage takes the battle. Watson let's off a hearty
chuckle. Great battle.
That was incredible. Thank you.
Cabbage had taken off the pairs of sunglasses prior to battling
for better battling, but now returns a pair of sunglasses to
her face. Oh, of course, yeah.
She looks so good with them. Watson, very impressed, reaches
into his pocket and gives you 175 Pokémon Dollars.
Add that to your wallet. He also slips you the Dynamo
badge. It's a circular badge that kind
of looks like circuitry. He then requests to see your
trainer card. I will hand it over.
He takes it, runs it through a little pocket sized machine and
hands it back to you. He says Trainer LED.
After one more battle, you'll be able to carry an additional
Pokémon on your team. Congratulations.
Thank you, that is awesome. He says well what's next in the
store of reality? Any ideas on the next gym you'll
challenge? That's a good question.
I guess since we're going around to Meteor Falls, I'm gonna pull
out my map and look at it. Of course I.
Have one he. Always has it.
Watson acknowledges this. He says.
Oh, very prepared. Excellent.
Yes, of course, always as I as I look at my map, 'cause I'm
pretty sure Ross Boro is just past Meteor Falls, but I don't,
I mean Elodie wouldn't know if there's a gym there.
That's true, Watson says. Yes, I think I from here,
Restboro would be the best place for a gym battle.
Roxanne's an incredible trainer and she has a gift shop in her
gym. You have to check it out.
Oh that's awesome. I wonder what they sell at the
gift shop. He says take a look at this and
he unveils a little necklace that has like a little green
geode on it. He says I got this from her gym.
It was wonderful. Oh pretty, I have AI have a
friend who really likes rocks. I bet he'd love that.
He says is his name Gimli. Yeah, that's.
Him says we had a very good discussion after our battle.
He might have something to tell you, I think.
OK, interesting. He says, well that's enough from
me, I'm going to retire from my gym battles for today.
You can take this little minecart all the way back to the
entrance of the crawl way. Sounds good.
Great. Did you enter the minecart?
Oh yes. You do so it zooms around past
all the others you went to before, and you continue to see
lots of Pikachu scurrying about. They really like this cave.
This is like their favorite mine.
It's wonderful. You find yourself at the
entrance of the crawl way where you first entered to challenge
the gym. And now, with three badges in
hand, what will LED do with the rest of your day?
That's a good question. Approximately 10/10/30 and the
plan was to re meet up with the party around noon.
OK, so we've got a bit of time before we all meet up again, see
what was there to do in town. There was the performance
center. There's shopping.
If you're looking for something that may exist, just let me know
what it is and we'll see. Yeah.
I don't know what I would be thinking of to see if we could
go to. Well, First things first, I'm
going to heal everybody up. Sure.
Yeah, you go to the Pokémon Center, you take care of that.
Everyone is fighting fit. On your way to the Pokémon
Center you notice a semi popular mid morning establishment seems
like a place of food service and libations called Mr. Mimosas.
Oh yeah, we're heading that up after the Pokémon Center.
OK, you do that. You enter roll me a perception
check. Got you 11. 11 This little cafe
brunch place is very funny. There's lots of young hit people
here. Seems like the the the morning
place to be in this part of town.
There's a lot of signage that shows a mascot that looks like
similar to Mime Junior but maybe a little bit more mature,
wearing sunglasses and holding an orange.
The theme is fun and spirited and also maybe just a little
weird you noticed. Just like LED.
Yes, definitely. You notice at a table by a
window is a pair of people who look kind of familiar.
You know what you you know at least one of them very well.
You know that Schmidt is here and he's here with someone.
He did not notice you coming. Can I see who he's with?
Yeah, it's it's Symetra. Whoa, spicy.
Crazy. It's up to you if.
You want. OK, yeah, a Hostess approaches
you and says how many today? Just me I guess.
She says great, do you want to sit at the Mimosa bar?
Oh yes. She says come with me, and you
start walking away from the table.
Schmidt and Symetra are at at the front of the restaurant and
you head towards closer to the kitchen.
It's incredible. There's Pokémon.
They have very large hands. They look familiar to the ones
that are on the signage out front, and they're mostly hiding
like behind a partition, so to speak.
But now that you're at the Mosa bar, you can see them and
they're just grabbing oranges and just squeezing them between
their massive hands. And they are falling into little
containers, little glass carafes, so to speak.
And someone else, another, another mime like Pokémon, is
pouring champagne into these crafts, and they are being
distributed very rapidly. And there is where you are
sitting in front of, there is just a whole bucket, a
transparent bucket that is full of oranges.
And a mime looks at you expectantly, waiting for you to
choose which oranges you'd like. Oh, I get to pick the oranges.
Absolutely. Oh this is epic.
Can I like a roll for like orange picking ability?
Course you can. Are you kidding?
Oh good, I can pick oranges. Yes.
I got a 19. Hell yeah.
Elodie is such a food connoisseur.
She knows which ones are the best ones.
She identifies 4 perfect oranges and she's ready to get a mimosa
out of them. This Mr. Mimosa prepares it.
It looks very good is the craft is not quite full though.
And he grabs he slides the partition down and then there's
a whole new section of the partition.
It's like a, what do you call it?
It's like if you were out of Mimosa Subway, like there's
there's a whole new selection of fruit and berries.
It seems like Mr. Mimosa is expecting you to request more in
your custom Mimosa. Awesome roll for selecting
Mimosa extras. Sure, yeah, there's all sorts of
fruits, and then there's like assorted berries.
You can put thought into it, or you can just roll and see what
happens. I think I'm going to roll.
OK, we'll do that. I got a 12 this time.
A12 Not bad at all. He identifies some good juicy
looking ripe berries. You seem to recognize a couple
of them. Some of them are cherry berries
and he squeezes them in, takes the pits out.
He reaches under the counter for a brief second and pulls out a
small little Pokémon that is blue and it looks like it's
wearing a green hat. It's like a it's like wearing it
has like funny little nubby legs and a silly face.
And he pulls it over the craft and he squeezes it gently and it
shoots out water out of its mouth into the mimosa that it's
being prepared for you. However, it's got like little
little bubbles to it. It's like sparkling as it exits
its mouth. And then he throws the little
low tab back under the counter, stirs the mimosa up, and hands
it over to you with his giant by me hands.
This is awesome. It is pretty significantly sized
if you kind of expect that most people come here to share.
The momosa that you've been served is probably you'll be
fine, but it might mess you up if you drink all of it.
I think I'm just going to drink all of it.
OK, First things first. The quality of the oranges,
exquisite, The champagne, nice and a refined flavor.
The berries that were put in it give it like a little spiciness.
It's got a little like kick. It's like really good.
It's got a complexity of flavor. Despite that LED must make a con
save. OK, well.
I. Rolled the natural one.
I know you did. That's so good, LED downs this
concoction in like maybe a fit of celebration from the gym, who
knows the cause, But she swigs it.
It is gone. It is absolutely destroyed and
Elodie is feeling kind of smashed.
What is Drunk Elodie's course of action here?
She's probably gonna get very loud and talkative with whoever
is around the bar. OK, yes, Elodie notices that
there are lots of young couples who are here, and there are
people who are sharing their mimosas responsibly because they
come in very large carafes and they're just kind of minding
their business. What would Elodie say to them?
That's a good question. Just be like, oh, where are you
guys from? And like stuff like that, like
asking them and being like you guys are so cute together.
Like if it's like a cute looking couple you know?
Hell yeah, roll roll a disadvantaged Charisma, but
she's probably still be pretty good.
OK, I got a 15. 15 Yeah. You turn to your right and
you're like, where are you guys from?
And sitting next to you are two people that you saw the other
day. And Archie looks at you and it's
like, Elody, are, are you wasted?
And Maxi says, oh, be quiet, she's allowed to have some fun.
Elody continues to drink. She shares with Archie and
Maxie, Archie has a great time. He's talking it up there.
He's telling stories. Wow, it's amazing.
Maxi is visibly kind of frustrated and he's just kind of
sitting in silence as the date has changed from Archie and Maxi
to Archie and Ality. No, I didn't mean to steal his
man. It's too late.
You don't know what you're capable of.
You've already done it. Do you have any Pokémon out and
what are they doing? Cabbage is definitely out
because cabbage is always out. Yeah, Aubergine has to be out,
but she's in the basket. Yes, they can just be vibing.
They don't have to be doing anything but.
Right. I think probably just those two
'cause I don't want to like, cause a scene even though I'm
already causing a scene. Cabbage is probably very
interested in the mimosa making process and probably trying to
communicate with the Mr. Mimes and probably distracting them
from their jobs. She might have had a little sip
of mimosa too, like maybe she's a little drunk, you know?
Yeah. I believe it.
Or even just like your contact. Drunk because of her melody.
Yes, true. Yep, love it.
Great with LED stealing, Maxi's man and Schmidt and Sumetra in
the same room, albeit on the other side.
That's where we will end the session.
