Welcome to the Cali Rex Game Corners Pokémon DND campaign
featuring Jacob as Schmidt with his far fetched quacko, Melissa
as Cindy with her Vulpix Soul Eater, Grace as Elodie with her
millsery cabbage, and CJ as Gimli with his rock and Rolla
Trevor. My name is Rich and I'm the game
Master and this is Dunsparse and Grandpa.
You find yourself in a bed in the hostel in the Four Tree City
Pokémon Center due to either jet lag or stress.
Or maybe you're just super cozy. You wake up pretty late.
It's like a like 9 AM 10 AM. You arise out of your bunk bed
and you notice that everyone else's beds are empty.
You knew that Gimli and Schmidt were the other side of the room.
Schmidt, of course, fought for the top bunk, and you know that
Sam and Cindy were also somewhat near you as well.
And they're all gone. And you're aware that today was
the day that everyone agreed to take on the For Tree City Gym
Challenge? Question why everybody left me
alone Go take on the gym challenge.
I don't know, should I get like breakfast first or something?
Or breakfast at the Pokémon Center.
If if you want to mess around with some flavor, you're more
than welcome to. That's OK, we can go straight to
the the gym challenge. Excellent.
You exit the Pokémon Center. You head on over to the ladder
that takes you up to the wooden walkway that takes you to the
center of town where the Fortress City gym is.
You enter and you see the same employee.
They gave you your trainer's license and gym badge case.
They hold out their hand and they request your trainer's
license. Yeah.
I'm going to give it to him. He has a little scribble on it
with some sort of marker, hands it back to you and gestures
towards some large red doors. Yeah, let's walk through those
red doors. All right, you do it.
Inside, you see what appears to be a power plant of wind energy.
There are fans and propellers and turbines just all over the
place, all over in little tubes in the walls and stretching up
through the ceiling. And before you is a pretty
classic, pretty standard Pokémon battling pitch.
There's a pokey ball engraved on the ground and a young man comes
up to you and he says welcome, my name is Miles.
Welcome to the Forgery City Gym. Oh thank you, this is my first
gym challenge, I'm excited. Oh, excellent, can't wait.
Let me explain some stuff to you.
At the Forgery City Gym, we test you in three categories.
Your power, your skill, and your luck.
Today, Me Miles will be testing you and your power.
So we're going to keep this really simple.
We're going to have a double battle, and you are welcome to
rule initiative for two of your Pokémon.
You send out your Pokémon, and Blueberry is raring to go.
Blueberries up first. Miles throws out two Pokey
Balls. Outcomes 1A Mercro.
You recognize it to be similar in appearance to the one you saw
at the post office. However, this one is wearing but
one hat made of feathers. Next to this Mercro is a big
chunky grey bird. Well, not really big.
It's a it's a small bird, but it's it's chunky.
Got to decide what blueberry's going to do.
I think blueberry is going to go for an astonish onto like the
Gray bird. All right. 18. 18 does not
matter. Chunky Gray Bird is a normal
type. The Astonish comes out and
Starley looks over at Blueberry and is like why are you making a
silly face at me and nothing happens, Miles says.
We're off to a great start. Starley go for Fury attack,
right? It's a Starley.
Starley attempts Fury attack onto blueberry.
It's a 14 hit blueberry. It meets so I believe that.
Favors favors the attacker. We'll just hit two times and it
deals 8 damage. Oh gosh 8 normal type damage.
Blueberry makes his spooky face and it just does nothing and
Starley just doesn't care and goes for Claw and Talon right
into Blueberry's little beautiful face.
It is now Cabbage's turn. Sick cabbage is going to go for
a draining kiss into the Mercro 2.
Unfortunately, Mercro's armor class is higher than two.
Mercro is not in the mood for a smooch right now, and swats
away. The military who slowly floats
floats in for the kiss. It's now Mercro's turn, and
Mercro's going to take this opportunity to do similarly to
the Starly. It gets attacked, it's going to
retaliate. Mercro's going to go for a Peck.
Does a 18 hit cabbage? Yes.
All right, big flying type damage coming in.
Oh, a Max roll 11 damage. Oh my goodness, Miles says.
We're off to a great start, Keep it up.
And Mirko goes back and Starley just kind of sits there looking
plump. We're back to the top of
initiative. It is blueberry string.
We definitely have ground to catch up on.
We're going to go for a disarming voice into the
Mercrow. OK, great.
That move doesn't miss, correct? Yes, it this attack
automatically hits for ferry damage.
So you can double your die and roll that damage. 7.
Blueberry gives a concerning shout to Mercro, and Mercro is
quite startled by it and takes super effective damage.
Very nice. A sizable hit.
It's over to Starley. Going to switch over to Milsari
this time and go for a Peck. That's going to be a dirty 22.
Yeah, that's going to. Hit all right, another big beak
coming in. Yikes.
Going to be 9 damage cabbage. What are you going to do?
You just got pecked. You know what I am going to go
for an acid armor. It's time everyone witnesses as
cabbage calls. How do I describe this?
I was going to be like gross milk, but that's not really what
it is. Let's say that cabbage.
No. She makes her fluids more
viscous. Perhaps.
I don't know how to describe this.
Do you have any ideas? I have no.
Idea what to say? Perhaps she grows in outer
shell. I don't.
The flavor text says the user alters its cellular structure to
liquefy itself, sharply increasing its armor class.
She's already liquid, so she's extra liquid.
She is like hyper liquid. And it's going to be so hard to
hit. These birds have no idea how
they're going to do it. There we go.
So for one minute, which is a lot of rounds of combat, your
armor class is boosted by two. It is.
It's 10 rounds of combat, so you're going to be we'll see.
I'll I'll keep tally just in case.
Back over to Mercro, going to attempt a pursuit on the cabbage
with your new armor class. Does 18 hit?
Yes. OK, some reduced damage.
It's not very effective. 4/4 points of dark type damage as
Mercro swoops over to the extra liquefied cabbage and smacks it
with its beak. Rover to blueberry again.
Oh, I can hit multiple target. OK.
I think we're going to sing with Blueberry because then it's
multiple targets, so I'm going to use on both of them.
OK, the save is 9. Yes.
They both roll to three, so both of these birds.
That is so absurd. I don't understand how that
works. Blueberry let's out such a
beautiful song. And these birds hear songs all
the time because they are in fact, birds that sing songs, but
this one, this one is special. That being said, it's Starley's
turn. Starley's asleep.
Starley, it's going to try to wake up and does not rolls A2.
Great. Starley's taking a nap.
Let's move on to cabbage. What's cabbage going to do?
Draining kiss the Mercrow. OK, you get an advantage to hit.
OK, I'm going to roll again because I was 8 and I got a net
one. What's your SO?
Bonus to hit Your bonus to hit for draining kit should be 4.
Oh, it should be 4. It should be 4.
OK, I have some nonsense written there.
I think it's. Instead of.
It's probably Charisma plus your proficiency modifier, I'm
guessing. Oh, probably.
That's probably it. Let's write that so that I know
that. So that would be 12 then?
Still doesn't hit. I'm sorry, so close.
Cabbage is feeling a little overconfident and also extra
liquidy, and this extra viscosity in her body makes it
so she just misses the kiss on a Mercro and Mercro stay snoozing,
or at least for now. We'll see after this roll, and
that's a natural one. It's low roll hours right now.
Mercro snoozing so hard it's absurd.
I'm going to take a tally for your acid armor and it's
blueberry's trim. Blueberry is going to go for
another disarming voice into Mercrow.
OK, that will hit. How much damage does it do 5
Despite these Pokémon being asleep, Swab blue blueberry.
It's really close to Mercrow's ear and just shouts at him, and
Mercrow will in fact wake up this time.
Oh no. So Mercrow is now awake.
Just took a bit of fairy damages.
Like how dare you guys having such a pleasant nap.
Now it's over to Starley. Starley's still snoozing.
Will Starley's stay snoozing? Another natural one.
This is ridiculous. Starley's sleeping.
It's Cabbage's turn. I think I'm just going to go for
another draining kiss into this mercrow.
OK, OK, so that was a dirty 20. OK, that will certainly hit.
Roll your damage, double your dice. 11.
Military also heals 5HP from that draining kiss.
Let's go. Finally landing a good old fairy
smooch onto this edgy bird. Mercro is taken aback as cabbage
drains some HP. It's Mercro's turn.
Mercro going to go for a pursuit, this time into
Blueberry, and that's a natural 19 that will definitely hit.
Yeah, that'll hit. And the damage is, I was rolling
D6 and I was like, is that a nine?
No, it's a six. So that's 11 points of dark
damage. It seems like these birds when
they're attacking do a great job, but when they're trying to
relieve themselves of some sort of condition, they're just
having a really hard time. That's not Canon.
I'm just speaking on on the rolls that's they don't have
abilities or anything. They're just hitting really
well. They're just birds, like we're
going to go for another thing because that went really well.
W OK. Mercro gets a rule to six but
has negative Christmas so that's a 5.
Mercro falls asleep yet again. Starley has been asleep for
three turns. So Starley wakes up Starley.
This whole battle has like not moved despite it being a bird.
It only moves to use for your attack.
Like, it's just a plump loaf just sitting on the ground.
And it just took a little nap and it's feeling great.
So Starley is going to get up and go for a Peck into cabbage.
They do be hitting. And yeah, and that's 10 damage.
Jeez, they're not going easy on you.
These birds. These birds are relentless.
Three birds and a puddle of milk.
Who's gonna win? It's cabbage's turn.
Feel like I should like use a potion or something.
Or I guess I could just try and get the HP back with draining
cuz this is an option. Yeah, let's just go for a
draining kiss into Murphro again.
Armor class is 13. I got a 12.
Cabbage. Cabbage please.
You got to do this. Cabbage cannot land.
The draining kiss too liquid, the acid armor too powerful.
Cabbage is zooming so so fluid it's absurd.
Murgro going to go for an astonish The cabbage that is A9.
So it does not. It does not hit.
Mercrow makes a spooky face at cabbage, and cabbage doesn't
care. Cabbage is a liquid now, always.
Has cabbage is new milk. But cabbage is like extra milk
now. OK, it's another turn of acid
armor. You're on five.
I did my tally the wrong way. I did a fifth line instead of a
diagonal. Whatever.
I'll do that for the. 6 How dare.
You. I know.
I feel so dirty. OK, Blueberry, what are you
going to do? Sing.
Wow, we're really doing the same thing.
All right. They're not falling asleep this
time. Wasn't Merco?
Was Merco still asleep though from the last time that I used
it? Or did I attack and wake him up?
You attack and woke him up. Merco's been awake for a minute.
Starley is feel a little confident then go for a leer.
Going to request a Wisdom saving throw from Blueberry.
Oh, that's a 14. That passes, nothing happens.
Yay. Being an adorable chunky bird
makes it a very mean face to Blueberry Doesn't do anything.
Starley's too cute. It's Cabbage's turn.
Go for another draining kiss and two Mercro.
Let's have it hit cabbage, we believe.
Yay that. Was a 23.
Battle hits. Let's go cabbage.
This could take out Mercro. The potential's there.
That would be so nice. And a four, so that's 8 + 3, so
11. 11, a great hit, not enough to take out Mercro.
If Mercro had a health bar, it would be in red HP.
Merco's not doing good as a draining kiss comes through,
Cabbage regains what, 5 health again?
Because you did 11 damage? Yes, yeah, yeah, Five more HP.
Hamage is probably feeling all right.
A little bit better. Now it's Marco's turn.
Marcro not having a great time, a little frustrated with what's
going on. Then go for a Peck into
Blueberry. That's a dirty 23.
That's eight damage, 8 flying type damage into Blueberry.
Is Blueberry still up? Yeah, he's, he's got three HB.
Three. Yeah, that's a great, good,
healthy number. Good.
Excellent. Yeah, good healthy number that I
would love my Pokémon to have. It's another turn for acid Armor
and it's back to blueberry. You have four turns left of acid
armor. I don't think it's come to come
up yet. It's no, it's literally not
helped at all, which is unfortunate.
I'm going to try to sing. OK, spicy.
The beautiful song comes out of blueberry's beak.
Starley, it's a 19. I'm so sorry.
RIP Blueberry, it's the saddest day ever.
Really trying their best. It's Starley's turn.
Starley going to go for a Fury attack on a cabbage.
Oh. Scary.
That's a 13. Yo that does not hit.
Is that because of acid armor or would that have not?
Hit No. OK, I was really.
Hoping it'd be like right on the cusp so we could feel like it
was useful. Oh well.
Without its excellence of liquidy body extra liquid from
the acid armor, Cabbage is still able to deftly dodge the theory
tech coming from Starly Cabbage's term.
We've got to go over that draining kiss into micro.
We can do this. Come on, Cabbage 16. 16 hits.
Let's go. You're welcome to rule your
damage. I think this chaos either way,
but you might as well see. 8, so 16 sixteen 7 + 8 + 3 that's 18.
18. How is that how math works?
Yeah, that sounds like to. Me, we'll take it.
You know what? At the end of the day, it
doesn't really matter because. This is true.
A big old draining kiss saps the last bit of life out of Mercro
and it collapses. X is in its eyes and Miles says
Mercro come back and it retreats back into the blue pokeball.
Now it's just it's Starling versus the world.
How much do I heal though? You're going to heal the half of
the remainder of HP that Mercro has, which is 2.
Well, it's something. That's something, yeah.
Yeah, Starling hasn't taken any damage so far, it's just been
chilling on the field. Single targeting a pack and a
Starley. Why not 16?
That definitely hits. Get your damage in there.
One shot. Could it be this?
No, I I I don't think it can. OK, you know what?
Though I don't think. That's a pretty good hit though.
We take those bird V bird blueberry swoops in, gives a
good old beak smash to Starley, takes out a chunk of its health.
Starley looks a little dazed, a little confused.
Starley is going to go for another Fury attack into
Blueberry who just attacked it. Please don't hit.
It's going to be a 13. Yes, it does not hit.
Barely does not hit. Very lucky Blueberry remains to
stay on the field for another day.
Cabbage I. Think we're just going to go for
a draining kiss 22? Yeah, definitely Starley.
Looking pretty beat up, pretty banged up.
That's another turn. You have two turns left of Acid
Armor and it's now Blueberry's turn.
Blueberry is going to go for that Peck.
OK, again, 16 again. 16 will connect Big old Peck coming in
Starley. Starley's looking like it's on
its last legs or its last talons.
Starley's going to go for a Victory Fury attack in the
cabbage and that's a 19 that'll hit.
It hits four times. Let's get these four hits of
Fury Attack. Oof.
Oof. 14 damage from Starley. Cabbage lives on one man.
Cabbage. That dream gets HP really,
really mattered. Starley's like, you know what?
I'm a chunky bird. I've had enough and just wails
into cabbage and manages to hang on by a sliver.
Incredible. All right, Cabbage, it's up to
you to finish it off. Let's go cabbage.
We got to go for that drain and kiss.
That is a 19. I'll connect.
How does cabbage KO Starley? Oh gosh, we've I've killed so
many Pokémon with with, with Cabbage's kisses.
This one's going to be nice and delicate.
Just a sweet little Peck on the chick cheek.
Cabbage feels mercy. That's so sweet.
And honestly, Starley doesn't really get knocked out.
It's just like, you know what, I'll stop fighting and just
relaxes and goes back to sleep. Miles says ah, not against
Starley and recalls it. Back to the four tree ball.
Miles says Congrats, you can please your first part of the
challenge. How'd it feel?
Very nerve wracking. We barely did it, but we did in
fact do it. You did in fact do that.
In fact, let me let me give you a little something.
And he reaches into his pocket and gives you 10 pokey dollars.
Sick I can get paid for this. He says absolutely, and he also
gives you potions just enough to heal your poke coming back to
full. No ethers or anything though,
but you do have full. PPE is the same.
Yes, PPE is the same. You got all your HP back.
OK, He says, nicely done. You're off to a pretty good
start, and he gestures you towards a new set of doors.
You enter and you find yourself in a very large room.
It seems like this is more or less the engine of the
operation. It's about the size of a
football field, and there's little bird Pokémon flying all
over the place. You catch your eyes on a piggy
that has a little hard hat and a clipboard.
I don't know how it's supposed to write with that, but it's
flying around. You see another young gentleman,
this one, He's got a little ponytail of dark hair, and he
walks up to you and says welcome.
I'm Ben. Now, nice to meet you, Ben.
I'm Elody. In this part of your Gym
Challenge, we'll be testing your skill, and specifically your
skill in speed. He holds out his four tree Ball
and the laser sends out a dragonfly.
It's got beautiful shimmery scales and a big old smile.
He says. You're going to be racing my
Yama today. You're going to pick one Pokémon
to do this. We're going to go with
Blueberry. Great.
So I'll I'll tell you how this goes.
Any gestures to this large room that you're in?
He says There are six rings that your Pokémon Blueberry has to
fly through. If you manage to get through all
six rings and then return to your trainer before I do, you
win the challenge. You look before you and you see
that there's one that's like directly in front of you, like
by about 15 feet. You go another 20 feet to the
left. There's one all the way on the
left wall that you can fly through.
There's one all the way on the other side of the wall that's 10
feet ahead. And then to the left of that
one, there's a series of three rings.
One is 5 feet off the ground, one is 15 feet off the ground,
and the last one is 30 feet off the ground.
We'll deal with them when we get to them.
The distances aren't that important.
It's more how you do it. You watch as Ben drapes a rope
over Yama's abdomen, and attached to the ends of the rope
are heavy sacks of some sort of sediment or weights or something
designed to slow Yama down. Ben says.
Yama here is pretty fast. It's got the speed boost
ability, so the longer you take, the faster Yama's going to be
going. Roll your initiative.
Yama moves just enough to perch itself on the top of the first
ring, and you hear a little Ding as it goes there.
It takes a moment to concentrate, and you watch as
duplicates of itself appear out of nowhere as it seems to have
used the move double T. So let me explain to you what
you can do on your turn. You have a movement budget of 30
feet. You can fly 30 feet in any
direction. You can opt to dash for an
additional 30 feet, or you can attack as an option as well.
Or furthermore, the spicy part, you can, if you are able to role
play it or come up with a creative scenario, you can use
any of your tax or any of your skills.
You come up with a role that will enhance your racing.
Oh, this is very exciting. I think for this first one, I'm
just gonna have blueberry fly and I sing.
Yeah, you can do whatever you want.
But I'm gonna have Blueberry sing You're.
Gonna have Blueberry sing for what reason?
What are you attempting to do? To try and make the opposing
Yamma fall asleep. OK, excellent that I figured as
much, but I wanted to check like just in case I don't know.
I just felt like it. Maybe like a morale boost or
something. OK.
Well, yeah, but mainly to make the Yamma fall asleep.
Excellent. Yamma is perched on the ring,
but there's also 3 Yamas for some reason, so let me see if
that's gonna affect this. Actually, spoiler alert 3 two of
them aren't real. It's only one of them that's
real and it gets an 18 so it doesn't matter.
RIP. Yanima does not fall asleep, but
it enjoys the jam. You can see it's wings kind of
flicker enjoyment. It's Yanma's turn.
On Yanma's turn, you can see that a blue energy courses
through its body and it kind of sparks an excitement and it
seems like it's a little bit more agile now, despite the
weights that it has on it. It zooms over to the next ring,
which is a little bit to the left, about 20 feet and it
perches on it and you can hear the ring go Ding.
It's 5 feet in front of Blueberry right now.
And the second ring. Yeah, I think for now we're just
going to again go the 30 feet and do a thing again.
OK A2 Yamma falls asleep and it's ninjutsu clones disappear.
It is perched on the second ring.
It's just vibing. Yamma going to roll to wake up
and it gets exactly an 11, which is the DC needed to wake up.
Very unfortunate. It's still feel a little groggy,
so it's going to try to be efficient here.
First things first, it's going to strike at you with a quick
attack. All right?
Yeah. Using its mobility, it manages
to get a dirty 20, the very basic attack, and deals for
damage to Blueberry, and then moves forward an amount that is
exactly the same as Blueberry's current movement speed.
You're both at the same exact spot about 1/4 of the way
through the course, and the Otama seems to be speeding up
even more. Go for an astonish 11. 11
doesn't either, Does not connect, does not flinch.
Blueberry attempts A startling shout at Yama, and Yama is not
fazed, and in fact Yama is going to just simply zoom past
Blueberry in a sense that seems faster than Blueberry.
Speed go through the 3rd ring Ding and pushes itself right
before the 4th ring that leads into the 5th and 6th in
concentric just rising into the air and we'll stand there and
fire off blades of sharp air towards blueberry AKA air slash
or 16 about it. OK, 10 points of flying type
damage into blueberry as blades of air Ching ching ching Ching
just slice in the blueberry. What's Blueberry going to do?
Good persuasion. So I suppose he could try and
persuade the Yanma to stop, but I don't really know what the
incentive would be of that. Might be dumb, but like, I don't
know. This is just one of my ideas
that I had. Blueberry's name is in fact
blueberry, and Yanma loves blueberries.
And maybe if Blueberry is very careful, it can make part of its
fluffy wings look like a Bush of blueberries.
I don't know. That would be really fun and
cool. And I think that would, I mean,
that would fall under persuasion, right?
Because it's like persuading it to.
I think it would be deception actually.
Yeah, I guess that's true, yeah. But if that sounds like
something you want to try like, you're more than welcome to
I'll. Try it.
OK, why not? Yeah, give me deception.
Let hold like your check is going to be 13. 19.
Geez, Yeah. Yama turns around, and with its
compound eyes, it doesn't get, like, totally clear images of
what's happening, but it sees the texture of blueberry's
fluffy wings combined with the color of Blueberry's body.
And it looks over and it thinks, are are those blueberries?
And it zooms over and starts to gently nibble on blueberry's
wing. So it's lost about 15 feet of of
ground. And now that's Yama's turn, Jon
was going to realize. Wait, this isn't blueberries,
this is Fluffy Cloud Wing. This isn't what I wanted and is
going to charge off a whole 35 feet extra little distance.
Go in between the 1st and the second of these concentric
rising rings, it'll turn around and fire off another air slash
towards blueberry. OK, this Air Slash misses,
ricochets off of the rings and does not connect with blueberry.
Blueberry, what you going to do? I know that, as we've mentioned,
Swablu do like sitting on Pokémon's head or people's
heads, and I can imagine Pokémon's heads as well.
OK. Where you going with this?
I was gonna say that Blueberry was gonna try and hitch a ride
on Yanma, but I feel like maybe it would be more effective to go
bounce on his head and shoot off.
I'm down for you to try whichever you prefer.
I'll I'll be real with you. I'll keep the checks the same,
so if one is more flavorful like just just go for it.
Yeah, I I feel like the like getting extra momentum 1 might
be more. OK, you would, would you
describe how how that worked, how that looks, how that would
work? You could just roll 1st and that
could determine how you describe it.
Sure, let's do that. We'll say if you're just going
to go for a bounce, maybe just like a strength or decks check.
11. Is there any modifier there?
Yeah, I did add the modifier. OK Yama sees Blueberry iron him
and being like hold on what's the plan here and Blueberry
comes over and plants its talons on Yama's back in an attempt to
get a little leverage. Yama's like Nah you ain't doing
that but manages to get grabbed a little bit.
Blueberry manages to gain an extra 5 feet of movement, not
much but just a little bit and Yama is a little disoriented
this turn. You hear Ding Ding as Blueberry
passes through the two of the last three rings and it's just
five feet before the last one. It's blue.
Sparky speed boost powers goes to dash past blueberry through
the last ring and you hear Ding Ding as it does that and it
starts to loop back around. It is now side by side the
blueberry, but starting to move in the other direction.
Yeah, I think this turn we're just going to dash and go as far
as we can. You do that, you go through the
last ring, you hear a Ding Ding, and Blueberry begins to turn
around. Uses the last 20 feet of its
movement to once again catch neck and neck to Yanma.
However, Yanma's movement speed has now eclipsed Blueberry's
movement speed. Yanma, it's going to go for a
grapple. I'm going to need an opposed
strength check. Yanma's like, wait, this is too
close for comfort. I thought I was doing well.
I should have taken that nap. Roll me strength.
I got a three. 3 total or a natural 3?
Yeah, which one? I got A2 natural.
Yama got a natural three. I'm so sorry.
And you have +1 strength, Yes. Oh wow, this is a really tough
grapple. Neither of these Pokémon are
very strong at all, but they both kind of tumble down onto
the ground and Yama gets a little little head start as it
tries to make its way back. If it gets a complete movement
of 30 feet by the end of its next turn, it will win.
How far am I from the end? You're 55 feet from the end.
Right now. Yeah, currently.
So I can just do that, yeah. You can just do that.
No, no funny business unless you want to.
I I know you're scared, but you can, you can literally just
wait. I'm just, I'm just going to go
for it. I I there's too many bad roles.
OK, blueberries. Like I've had enough.
I'm going to end this right now and zooms into Elodie's arms
right as Yanma neck and neck goes to reunite with Ben and
Elodie manages to grab on to Blueberry before Yanma meets
Ben. Ben says.
Wow, that was a close one. I wasn't sure if Yanma was going
to be able to do it. That was pretty close.
That's a pretty cool Yanma. He says thank.
You blueberry's cooler. Ben says I don't know about that
one. And you evaluate this Yanma and
the light in the ceiling, they reflect off of Yonaha in such a
way that it sparkles and it's a blue and green color.
Ben says. Nicely done.
We're we're moving on to our next challenge.
Were you about to say something? Is this a shiny animal?
It is. Oh, I didn't catch on to that
before. You know I don't.
That's really cool. I don't think anyone did.
So I wanted to be extra specific with you because no one picked
up on it. They're just like, oh, I guess
it's blue. We're like, oh, I guess this
sparkles. But like I just was like, you
know what? Grace is a good to know.
OK, no, that's awesome. That's a shiny Yanma.
That's pretty cool. He says yeah thanks and gives a
little scratch on the head anyways, then escapes you not
through a door but up a staircase.
It seems you are sending towards the top of the four tree city
gym. You can see all around you on
the other side of the rails of the stairs are just big giant
white pipes that go vertically up and at the top end of the
pipes are these poles. I suppose is a better
description. You can see in the distance
propeller blades spinning, collecting wind energy from
through a hole in the ceiling. Standing before you on a
platform is a young woman trainer.
She has short brown hair and big old glasses.
And she says, hi, welcome, you've come so far.
Yeah, I know. Seriously, it's been a lot of
work to get here. He says excellent.
Hopefully you take this one just as seriously.
So you took those other ones. My name is Gabriella.
And today, we'll be giving you the Luck challenge.
I'm going to have you choose a number of Pokémon.
Your choice. I'll pick 2.
You signed up with your Pokémon and she says, excellent, this
one's going to be fun. And she holds out her four tree
ball and the the laser animizes a very silly looking Pokémon.
It's basically an egg, and it has nubs for hands, nubs for
feet, nubs for wings, and a big long neck with a goofy dumb :)
at the top of it. She says.
So it looks like a battle with my toga tick, right?
However, you don't have to battle it if you don't want to.
You just need to last roll initiative.
Cabbage gets to go first. What does Cabbage want to do?
I'm. Going to go for an acid armor.
Once again, cabbage gets extra liquefied and it seems like it's
coated in something that would be nasty to touch.
Toga Tick faces towards your two Pokémon and it wiggles its
finger. This is amazing.
I'm scared but also excited. How do I describe this one?
This is a weird one to describe. Channeling some sort of fierce
energy that it doesn't truly have.
Goes for an attack into cabbage and rolls a natural too.
Just completely whiffs. Just charges towards cabbage and
just doesn't seem to successfully be able to chip
away at cabbage's HP. Up next is Blueberry A.
Blueberry Time, so she said. I just have to survive.
I don't have to fight. Yes.
Let's Go 4 and Astonish 17. That does connect.
Does that flinch? It was a the natural attack role
was 14, so I don't. Oh, barely?
Barely doesn't, Yes. How much damage is that?
6. OK, Oh, good tick.
It's a little chunk of damage from this very startling spooky
astonish coming from blueberry. It's cabbage's turn again.
We're going to go for an aromatic mist.
Yeah. So for me and for cabbage and
blueberry, we get to add one D4 to any savings.
That's right. That's right.
OK, as you might have guessed, Togatek once again wiggles its
finger. You witness as out of the tip of
Togatek's finger fires insect webbing that is electrified.
It's going to attempt to hit both of your Pokémon into
cabbage a 17 into. Blueberry.
An 8. Cabbage.
So it hits cabbage. Which is good because it won't
be super effective. Cabbage is going to take right
nine points of electric damage. OK, that's fine.
Blueberry is going to go for another Astonish 15.
That does not break the armor class barely doesn't startle
this extra bulky chunky. Togatik seems completely unfazed
by this. Astonish.
It's chunky. Very chunky.
Cabbage gets to do something. Sweet scent.
That's a nine. So it fails.
So, OK, so yeah, so I have advantage to hit it.
Togatik predictably and go for the finger wiggle.
Oh, from the tip of Togatis finger forms what one might
describe as a ball of ice and fires it towards blueberry.
Leave it connects. That's a natural 16.
No, that that that hits. OK, incoming ice ball.
How many times is it going to hit the maximum number of times?
Oh no. Good night.
Blueberry OK, hold on. Incoming a series of ice balls,
five of them dealing overall 22 points of ice damage.
OK, well, Blueberry's still alive.
Blueberry's hanging in there. Barely.
OK, how's Blueprint going to respond to this?
Another astonish. Now that I have advantage, maybe
this will go better. Yeah, let's try it 5-6.
Well, I'm sorry, Toga ticket. It doesn't care.
Toga tastes like you just tried to do this and it didn't bother
me at all. No.
What's cabbage going to do? So we could go for a training
kiss. I mean, we might as well, maybe
we can heal up some damage. So yeah, we're going to go for a
training 18. So that is a six.
OK, heal 3. As cabbage goes in for the
draining smooch, cabbage can somewhat detect from this toka
tick that while it has a chunky, feathery, eggy exterior, its
pool of hip points isn't necessarily the highest toka
tick Going for the finger. Wiggle from the tip of Toka
Tick's finger summons several large boulders that intend to 2
cabbage. Cabbage has to make a strength
save. Come on cabbage, I got a 16.
These rocks do still manage some of them to crash into cabbage,
but about half as many as the ones that were summoned.
Let's see how much damage cabbage takes.
A whopping eight points of rock type damage.
Blueberry Time a sing. It's 11 charismatic togatech.
Well, it's eyes starting to close a little bit, but Nope,
it's run awake, not old to sleep by the beautiful alibi that
blueberry spit and out. What's cabbage going to do?
Cabbage time Cabbage is going to go for debt draining kiss again
16. Yeah, that just meets the armor
class of Togatech. 10. 10 Togotick's looking a little
roughed up. Looks like Togotick's taking
some damage. These kisses, they're really
starting to get to it, and you get to heal. 5 Absolutely.
Togotick goes for a more desperate finger wiggle, showing
some mercy. You know what?
No, it doesn't show mercy. Togotick wiggles its finger, and
you can see that it becomes completely imbued with a sharp
purple poisonous energy. Goes for a slicing cross.
Poison into cabbage. Oh.
Not. Cabbage and rolls A2.
Great. Yeah.
Cabbage. Yikes.
Togutic, not very comfortable with the poison itself, just
whiffs the attack completely. Cabbage doesn't even have to
dodge. Barely.
Togutic didn't like it. It's like oh hot hot.
It just wags its finger to cool it down from the the spicy
poison that was just on it. Blueberry, what are you going
to? Do disarming voice.
That always hits. Roll your damage.
That'll do 2 damage. You know, that's something
Togutic. Takes a little bit of damage.
Looking a little more roughed up.
Cabbage. I think we are just going to go
for a draining kiss. OK, 17 that will hit No 18.
Yeah, you're getting these good rules now.
What happened to that in the first battle?
Yeah, seriously, I don't know what's happening. 8 damage.
Toga ticket had a health bar, it would be in the red as another
kiss comes through. Cabbage recovers for HP Toga
Tick looks pretty tired. Pretty exhausted.
Gonna go for the finger wiggle. Is it gonna get something crazy?
Yep, it sure will. Togatek wiggles its fingers and
its eyes glow red and a portal opens up beneath it and it
vanishes. Nope, it's now Blueberry's
turns. Well, does a disarming voice
still hit then? If it's not 'cause it
automatically hits? Is that something I just have to
find out? You know, this isn't something I
prepared, but like Togatik's in the shadow realm, like I don't
think this is the main voice is gonna hit it in the.
Shadow, I was gonna say I I even though it technically
automatically hits. Yeah.
Well, can I just have blueberry like fly a little bit away, just
I don't know. Yeah.
You can you can assume, you can assume like a defensive
preparation. Yeah, defensive position with
blueberry working. For that, would you describe it?
Little feathery arms to like, shield its face and head.
OK, Yeah, we'll. Cushion.
We'll buy that. We'll buy that.
I was thinking if your description wasn't adequate, I'd
make you roll for it. But that's fine.
Cabbage. OK.
Togutika's just not here. Togutika's in a different plane.
So now I'm going to go for senspiration, OK, Because it
doesn't. I can't attack anything, and
I've used up all my other fun moves.
So yeah, we're going to give Blueberry that D6 that can add
to any dice roll. Absolutely.
Blueberry has is imbued with inspiration.
There's another way to describe it.
Blueberries inspired and is able to enhance one of its future
actions. What is the scent?
Oh. Blueberry, obviously.
It's blueberry. OK, Perfect blueberry.
Loving the scent of blueberries. It's namesake How You Met
Blueberry is all about the smell of blueberry.
Great Togatek ascends from the ether and goes to smack
blueberry. And unlike the video games, this
doesn't always hit. However, it's a natural 16-O.
Blueberry's a normal type. Yeah, this it has no effect.
Blueberry takes a defensive posture and a a shadowy, ghostly
hand comes out of Togatek, and then nothing happens.
Like fine, all good Blueberry. 'S like you stop.
Man, I haven't prepared that. I just made the mistake.
It's like you was Starly. I just wasn't thinking, OK.
Well, I thought it was like, I thought it was a rickety,
forgetting that rickety is not Gray.
Yeah. Because I was like thinking of
Korvanite. And I was like, Oh yeah, it's
just baby Korvanite. And I didn't think about what
that actually looked like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK. Yeah, we're even now.
It's we got this. Blueberry's going for that
sweet, sweet disarming voice. OK, I'm going to add my
senspiration to the damage as well 6.
Togatek hangs on OH. Gosh.
As a disarming voice bless Togatek's face, Toka tick's got
a little bit energy left inner. What's cabbage going to do?
Cabbage has got to go for its last draining kiss.
PP all. Right, the last one.
What's the? Cabbage 19.
That'll hit. How does cabbage kayo toka tick
Got 2 HP cabbage. Cabbage, please stop kissing
things. Sit up.
I think in a bit of a taunt Cabbage will wag her finger at
taga tick before it is not going in for the kids.
Oh no, that's so rude. And then toga tick slumps to the
ground. Gabriella has toga tick return
and says that was a close one. That phantom force.
I don't really know about that one.
It kind of wasted some time. Either way, good job.
And she gives you 15 pokey dollars.
She also gives you potions and ethers.
Team is fully restored. You've completed the three
challenges. Only one more waits before you.
Elodie marches up the stairs, and she turns around, and she
can see giant propeller blades of the wind energy turbine
spinning. The view up here is incredible
because Fortress City is the northernmost city in the Hohen
Region, but it's also the highest altitude city in the
Hohen Region and you're on the tallest building in the highest
up city, so the view is incredible.
To the north you see jungle that just spans for miles.
To the east you can see Lily Cove where you came from by
ship, and way off in the distance you can see a small
island in the ocean. To the West you see a mountain
that is riddled with meteoric craters, and to the South you
can see the capital model. Standing up there with you is
Winona. She is the gym leader of the
Four Tree City Gym and has been for quite a while.
She is wearing a funky little aviator outfit, she's wearing a
helmet that's got little green goggles on it, and she has her
purple hair blowing in the wind. He turns to face you and says
you made it. I made it.
Woo Hoo, I'm so proud of you. Only one more challenge lies
before you. And to begin this challenge,
I'll have to ask how many Pokémon do you intend to use?
I'll use two again. I'll use both my lads.
He says excellent. In that case, allow me to let
you meet my friends. And she holds out three, four
tree balls and outcomes. 1A silver Raptor made of metal,
very large, very spooky bird. 2A very proud looking larger form
of tailo with twin tails in the back and three a blueberry but
bigger with huge cloudy poofiness and two little hair
antennae coming out of the top of its head.
She says for this final challenge, you will pick your
opponent. Right, I'll go with the friend
of Blueberry. With the Altaria.
Yes. Excellent.
Winona recalls 2 of her Pokémon, the Scarmree and the Swallow,
and she says in that case, let the battle begin and roll your
initiative for the final battle. But how does Cabbage want to
start off? For that sweet, sweet acid
armor. OK, extra liquefied and looks
like if made contact with the melee attack it's going to
sting. Cabbage is ready for battle.
In a similar turn of events, Altaria lets out a screech and
flaps its wings vigorously and it is coursed through with blue
and purple and sparks of electricity and arcane energy
flows through its body and it seems that it is a dragon that
has done a dance. It is now VB's turn.
A sing because why not? OK, always got to get one out.
Sure, Altaria. What was it 2?
Yeah. Altario.
Sleepy 9/9. Go Sleepy 99.
Incredible. What's cabbage going to do with
the Sleepy 99 Altario? So I'm going to sweet scent.
You do that. So he has to make a charisma
save. It has disadvantage because it's
asleep and A10. It was probably a bad move
because the next attack targeting afflicted creatures
have advantage to hit. You know, there is such a thing
as double disadvantage, Or at least in my home brew there is.
So yeah, OK, Altar is going to try and wake up.
Yeah, I guess if it woke up too, it wouldn't be a waste.
And it got an 8. So Altaria stay snoozing and it
loves the sweet scent that it just smelled.
It is having a delightful Little Dream, despite the fact that
like blue arcane sparks are flying off of it.
It's it's having a good little snooze.
The family voice would be a bad choice right now.
Let's go for an Astonish. OK, roll it.
So I get advantage, right? Yes, you can roll three times in
fact. 22. What was the natural?
Their natural was 19. OK, how much damage?
The damage is 5. Swablu and let's out a startling
shout dealing ghost type damage to Altaria.
Will this wake up? Altaria definitely does, because
Altaria crit it's wake up. The shout was very startling and
very astonishing and Otario springs back up into the air,
however is still recoiling from the effect of the shout and it
will have to take a flinch on its next turn back up to
cabbage. Much time we're going to go for
a draining kiss when Dirty 20. 3020 let's go.
Super effective. Super effective damage, 10
damage. The classic cabbage maneuver,
the swooping smooch goes in, smooches that Otaria right on
the cheek drains a whole 5HP. Altario flinched last turn.
It said next turn, but I meant that turn Altari attacks.
Now Altari is ready for action. Altari is going to use a move
that it doesn't have to roll the hit and that is aerial ace right
into cabbage. Going to be 11 points of flying
type damage as Altario swoops in and deals an aerial A strike to
cabbage. It will also take poison damage
from acid armor. How much was that again?
It's AD 6 worth so. You can roll that.
Oh yeah, you know, that's something.
Cabbage manages to give a little bit of recoil from that, allow a
bit of a defensive mechanism to happen so Altaria doesn't get
that aerial lace off totally for free.
What is Blueberry going to do? Blueberry will do a disarming
voice this time. OK, see perfective.
Roll it. That is a 10.
Wow, that was just as good as the draining kiss.
Yeah, seriously. That's kind of crazy,
Blueberries popping off. Yeah, Blueberry's been doing
really good at shouting today, making songs and shouting and
Blueberry going from an astonishing shout to a disarming
shout. Altaria is taken aback.
And takes a lot of fairy type damage.
Cabbage time. Yeah, I think we're going to go
for another draining kits. That's a 14. 14 does not break
Altaria's armor class. Cabbage goes in for the kiss and
flies directly into Altario's floof and just can't get a it's
it's kisser on Altario's body and just nothing happens.
It's very unfortunate. In anticipation of shenanigans,
Altario focuses its mind and creates A barrier around itself
that will protect it from certain types of attacks.
That is its turn. That's its action.
We're going to move on to Blueberry.
Yeah, we're just going to go for a A disarming voice again 6.
And the disarming voice comes out, Altaria, taken aback by the
ferry damage, feeling pretty startled, feeling pretty spooked
about halfway through its health bar.
Cabbage. Gonna go for another draining
kit. Don't broke.
Don't fix it if it's not broken. That's not the same.
What do they say? Don't, No.
That is the same. I like mine more.
Don't. I like that, I agree.
Perfect. Roll your rolls a hit. 17.
That does meet the armored class of Altaria.
Deal your damage 13. The kiss comes in, it lands,
Altario takes a big massive hit of fairy type damage, and
Altario furthermore is getting a little fed up.
It's had enough, and it turns to Blueberry and unleashes
incredible gout of blue and yellow and purple sparkling
flame AKA Dragon Breath, and demands that Blueberry make a
Dexterity saving throw. A3.
A3 that will not save you from this incoming dragon breath
unless they roll A1 twice in a row.
Oh my God, the minimum damage from this dragon dance.
Dragon breath is still 9 damage, but you got very lucky with two
minerals. Something about an Altario
attacking A swab loop. Altario just has to hold back a
little bit. It's just like, no, that was me
one day. I can't and.
There is like I see myself and you.
Exactly. It's like that scene.
Have you watched Journeys where like the Blaziken can't eat the
Torchic cookies? Yeah.
I've just seen that. Yeah, it's the same exact thing,
basically, except it's not a cookie.
It's an actual bird. It's Blueberry's turn.
How will Blueberry retaliate to this dragon?
Breath in its face. Blueberry Blueberry appreciates
Altaria's light concern, but also does not appreciate the
fact that it took damage. Blueberry is just going to go
for a disarming voice. OK, the classic.
The classic you got her, that's a 5 good old.
Twist and shout Altaria. Takes.
That's exactly the song that he's singing.
Yeah, it's A twist and shout in in the swab blue voice.
Yeah, exactly. Altaria can't help but dance to
it a little bit. It's just such a good song.
What's cabbage going to do? I realized I don't know if I've
been healing my damage from draining Kiss, but I also don't
remember what it was so the. Last one you were supposed to
get 5. We're going to go for the
draining kiss anyways, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yes, but I guess that's the same.
An 18. I'm rolling so much better now,
yeah. Look at that, saved it for the
final boss that will hit. So that is an 8.
You made it to the red HP bar nicely.
Altaria's feeling pretty refed up, didn't think it would have
this this hard of a time against one of its own, but these fairy
type attacks, they're a little intense.
Intending to make this more of an even fight, Altario's gonna
go for the always hitting Aerial Lace, this time into Blueberry.
14 points of flying type damage, not too bad.
But not too bad, Blueberry. Not ideal.
Yeah, Blueberry's still. Up.
OK, The mysterious barrier that Altario placed around the self
fades away at the end of its turn here, and it's up to
Blueberry. Take us home.
You can. Do Blueberry take us?
Take us home with a disarming voice.
Blueberry. I believe it.
Full damage, that's 9. OK, well, it turns out Blueberry
was never going to take us home. But Blueberry does a good try.
Yeah, Blueberry sure as heck can try.
You know what's sad is that that move can't even crit.
So, like, there's this. There's no way.
So I might have lied. I'm sorry, but it's still pretty
good. Twist and Shout getting close to
the end of the song. How is Cabbage going to clean it
up? I have.
I have to go for the draining kiss.
Yeah, let's go 23. That will definitely hit.
Cabbage can potentially finish this for sure.
Let's go cabbage 28. That's 13. 13 / K OS altario by
one point. Do you have any ideas on how you
just want to describe this kiss? There's been so many draining
kisses and this is 1 big dragony cloud.
What's the method here? What's the angle?
The angle of this particular draining kiss.
Let's see a little a little bit of a dancing and moving to the
twist and shout, which we are finishing here today.
Yes, yes, and goes in, goes in for the kiss while we'll do an
old jig. Perfect.
Let's do that. Incorporate some music As
Cabbage delivers the final blow, you notice this blueberry is
singing a little song. It's the song that's been
singing this whole battle. Twist and shout everyone's
favorite. And right at the climax, right
at the end of the song, Cabbage delivers the final smooch.
The true show stopper and this show will not have an encore.
Winona recalls her ace Pokémon and says, wow, you really did
it, didn't you? She reaches behind her and
provides you with $100 as well as the feather badge, she says.
Very nicely done. Not many opponents can take on
my ace Altaria just like that. I am very proud of cabbage and
blueberry, they did a very good job.
He says as you absolutely should be, and she gestures over to an
elevator that will take you down to the ground if you so wish.
I'm just going to hang out with Winona.
No, just kidding. I.
Mean you could like. I don't know.
Great. You start chatting her up.
Wait, what's up? You know what?
Actually, I will. I'll ask.
So I have some friends who came by earlier.
There was a short 1. He has a beard, a girl with red
hair and a guy who's wearing a shirt with too many buttons
unbuttoned. How did they do?
She she recalls these challengers and she says, Oh
yeah, I remember all of them. They were all very impressive in
their own way. However, they all did very well
and they would be eager to see you well.
That's exciting. Yeah, I'm going to going to go
now. Bye.
Great. You descend down the elevator
and off towards the distance of the Pokémon Center.
You see your three trainer friends, Schmidt, you see Gimli,
and you see Cindy. They're all chatting.
It seems like they're in a a fun little triangle discussion about
how their challenge went. Is there anything you'd like to
do before you meet up with them? No, I think I, I think I'm ready
to meet up with them. You strolling over to the front
of the Pokémon Center and that's where the session ends.
