Welcome to the Cali Rex Game Corners Pokémon D&D campaign
featuring Cindy, a hot headed teen with a penchant for arson,
Gimli, an admirable father seeking to reunite his family,
Elodie, a fun loving Baker with a whimsical heart, and Schmidt,
a courageous young man searching for his purpose with a duck.
Together they make the Quacko Packo and this is Dunsparse and
Grandpa. The Quacko Paco spent the bulk
of their evening on the day following the most deep City
calamity talking with Uranus, a recently defected Neo Rocket
Galactic admin who has asked for their help.
In exchange for valuable information pertaining to NR GS
final plot, the Paco have agreed to see what they can do to
return Uri's Basculegion back to him, the Ghost type fish Pokémon
taken from him in name of the Artemis Protocol.
Yuri has expressed that NRG already has everything in place
that they need to complete the Sinister ritual to connect to
the Reverse World and commune with the former Team Galactic
Boss. However, if the Paco are able to
efficiently recruit the help of some of the citizens of the
Hoenn region that they have met during their adventures, they
may muster enough forces to prevent a truly apocalyptic
scenario. After some libations and some
snacks, Yuri prepares to turn in for the night as the sun has set
and Mr. Mimosa's is close to closing outside of RP.
Just because I realized it was something that we had not been
touched on and it might tie up a loose end.
Why did NRG want cabbage? Why was that a new development?
Yuri will explain to you over the course of the night that it
was similar to why all the ghost type Pokémon are being captured
but not exactly the same. NRG had realized after some
research that the Pixie plates location was likely
extraterrestrial. It was on the moon, so they
needed a powerful fairy type for two reasons.
They needed one to like makes you confirm that they have
accurately identified the Pixie plate because you guys have the
Atlas stone so they can't do that.
Secondly they wanted they needed a fairy type to channel the
Infinity energy bomb that they were building on the moon as
well. So kind of to explode her and
also use her as a radar. That was their goal.
Fairy types are not common in Hoenn and there's only one in
the admins ranks which is Enyo's Gardivar and Yuri does not know
why Gardivar was not selected instead of cabbage why they
didn't just use Gardivar. Does anyone else have any other
questions or loose sense that Yuri might be able to help with?
I just remembered we had a question, which was that I don't
remember if we did ask this, but we were going to ask about like
the prisoners that they have, like Gimli's grandparents or not
Gilly Grandparents. Grandparents.
Yeah, my. Grandparents.
Too, Gimli. They're dead.
They've been dead for a while. No.
No, my my whole family lives until at least 120.
Very good. Yeah.
OK. I think you asked a little bit
about the captives, but are you asking specifically, do you just
want to recap or was there specific captives that you had?
Questioned like if they have other captives or where the
captives are. Got it.
Yeah. So I may have already said some
things, but I'll just repeat it just for the sake of clarity.
All of the captive people are aboard the mother ship, which is
the largest of the zeppelins. It is called the NRG Renegade.
That's the name of the ship. They are kept in different types
of holding. They are all kept alive to his
knowledge, and some are higher security than others.
He was able to confirm the presence of Cindy's grandparents
as well as Gemma, Gimli's wife. And he's aware of some other
just general hostages, captives, etcetera.
Oh yeah, no, there, there's another one.
He will kind of lean into the table and be like, you got to,
you know, this is a bit of a hot topic.
And if you reveal this to the public, I mean, it's kind of
your decision. But I can explain to you the
reason why the Hoen government, specifically Champion May, has
not been very proactive in halting Energy's efforts.
And he will explain that is because they have her father,
Norman, He has been detained as bargaining to initiate all these
acts of terror across Hoenn, leaving May with very little
recourse to do anything about it.
Are we going to go viral until TikTok again because we could
leak this? I love.
Norman, they get killed, yeah. Oh that's true, they probably
would like backlash and like kill him.
Wow. Yuri would acknowledge that is
pretty likely because he is like the the captivity of Norman is
entirely why they haven't been stopped, basically.
That's so sick, The guy, yeah, they would just kill him, huh?
They. Would right.
Like that's great. I mean, they're evil.
They would just do that. Yeah, Yuri doesn't count it out.
He thinks that that is quite likely.
We probably should not. Also I think going viral on Joel
TikTok is in general a bad idea at this point.
We should probably move in silence.
That's nice, it's done. So good for us before.
Yeah, so true. Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, you know, Schmidt's been working on a new dance to show
everyone on Joel TikTok. You got to show everyone.
Any other loose ends or questions for Yuri?
He's looking sleepy. I think we're good, Rick Gang.
Hello. Thanks, gang.
Yeah, no, that's cool, gang, he proceeds.
To stand up and leave Mr. Mimosas while everyone else's
catatonic, Yeah. OK, I guess we're a good gang
and I'll just. Did we have any other notes?
I'm looking, I think that was. I swear we did ask him about the
journal. Yeah, we did have a conversation
about the. Journal Cindy could ask who's
troubish. She has.
Do we have information on that? Can I ask about troubish?
Yeah, you can ask about troubish.
Do you like reveal troubish or just show the pokey ball or
describe the situation? You know what nothing says, Mr.
Mimo says. Like letting out a trash bag
into into the dining area. DC11 Con Save for every
individual please. Fuck.
Yeah. Just like the con, save for
Trebush to throw up. And that as well, please.
But he's still. With he's still a.
Smelly guy, you guys are indoors.
That's the main. Problem in a restaurant.
Trumpish does not throw up. Very good.
Dub, however, Cindy Oh Nat Natural 19 on that con save.
Elodie Schmidt. 8. Eight OK, 13 OK.
Very good. No one vomits, he certainly is
stinky and the mimes and the last lingering patrons are all
going to like make disgusting sounds and like put daughter why
and just be very upset and people will just straight up
leave. And it's so close to closing
anyway. A couple of mimes like stand by
and they put their hands on their hips and they look very
frustrated. They don't have noses though, so
they're fine. That's true smell proof and
soundproof. Perhaps Yuri will take a look
while pinching his nose. He'll say.
No, I haven't seen that before. You said you got it from the old
magma hideout. Yes, and there were lockers
there and I have reasonable suspicion that my parents were
also there because I found a photo of them in it in the in a
locker there as well. Yuri will say yeah quite a few
energy members use that base but but Team Magma did before them.
So as far as whether that Travis belongs to NRG grunt or a Magma
grunt, honestly up in the air could be either.
Cool. Well, it likes me so.
Rock on kid, you can keep it. Yuri will stand up from the
booth and he will express that it was going to talk with you
and that he's obviously hopeful for a successful final battle
whenever you decide to pursue it.
And then if you have any other questions for him that he's just
going to be staying in Mas Deep City until you decide to go on
the initiative and go to Evergrand City.
That is also to say, mechanically while you're
zooming around, we can treat Moss Deep as kind of like a home
base. You can always come back to Moss
Deep and talk to the people here just for role play or for
insight or to ask questions. And among those people include
also Steven. Steven is going to stay in Moss
Deep, as well as like Tate and Liza and some other folks who
are around here. But Archie and Maxie are going
to go back home to fall Arbor Town, but Yuri's going to stick
around as well, and TMF and Jim Lee will also be around.
I guess I should ask, is the Packo also going to turn in for
the night? Are they going to going to get
started and start traveling and seeing who they can talk to for
help and see who they can recruit?
How much time do we think we have, gang?
I mean what? Time is it?
I'm not going to add any timer for stay in the night.
I think this is just going to be for missions if you want.
To. Get a sleep just for flavor.
You're welcome to do so. I think we should probably sleep
before we start. Seems like a good idea.
OK. That's at least 50%.
Oh. What was that?
Do we want to plan before we sleep?
That's probably a good idea. Sure, Yeah.
Discuss. Look at your map and look at
reminisce on the folks that you've met in the region and
discuss on where you want to. Go I definitely want to go to
Duferd cuz Jim Lee has none of this Pokémon still except for
his golem so that would be an obvious thing to do.
But I think we were going to do that with all of us and then
pair up for. Yeah, I'm just rattling all the
things that I actually want to go to first before we decide
groupings, if that makes sense. OK, a sky pillar.
Yeah. I think personally, as much as
it would be cool to be there while Schmidt is doing sky
pillar stuff, I think it would be exceptionally cool if Schmidt
did that one alone. Like just Schmidt at the Sky
Pillar summoning Rick way. So that'd be sick.
But if we still want to pair for that.
Yeah, pairs. OK, cool.
I still think we pair for that, Yeah.
I still think we pair for most things.
So I think obviously each of us want to go to our individual
things. Is there anyone else's
individual thing that somebody wants to pair with them on or
anywhere else anyone wants to go besides like obviously everyone
going to do food? So the mechanic that has been
presented to us is like, the more we do, the stronger our
enemies get. But then we also get stronger in
tandem. Yeah.
So do we just want to do everything?
Yo. And that's kind of the argument.
It's like, do we want? It's like kind of like, do you
want to do very little things or do you want to do everything
because you also don't know the scale.
The scale's not even. Like you're treating it as if
the scale's even. I'm not treating as if the
scale's even. I just don't think that even
with their full prep time, like I don't think we ought to lose,
you know? Sure, because I.
Would like. I still think there's a chance,
yeah. I don't have attachment to
literally anything except for going to Duford, so I will be I
will be gladly pairing up with whoever.
There's like nothing else here that I personally want to do for
like lore implications. However, on the map, yeah, Gimli
has a, a thing on the map. I was looking at it Loveridge
and Leverage. And where is that?
Is that where you found Bean? Yeah, it looks.
Like was outside of Marvel, right?
No, no, no, it it. Was on our way from Lily Cove.
It's the, it's the total route. Quit.
OK. Yeah.
So. Some of it's where we found like
partnership. What if we just do all of our
character specific vignettes? Right.
That's what I was thinking. I think that was our plan.
Yeah, I think doing everything might be a bit excessive.
I also want to reiterate this thing that I typed, which is
random, I should have specified random like non character
associated areas with one boom will usually be more
significant. And also your character.
It's it's a tricky dynamic because I can't tell you what
things energy is gaining. So if you do just your character
things, that puts you in a position where you they won't
necessarily have all of the bust that I can give them.
But I don't know. Yeah, up to you guys.
You can also like poll, it's a little silly, but like maybe
residents of Moss Deep, you can make some inside checks and ask
them about these places to try and get some details on what
might be going on. You can remember when like all
of these are more or less related to things you did on
your journey. I don't think anything is
random. I think every location is going
to be like, oh, this is related to the thing that we did here.
Obviously you haven't been to Pacific Log and you haven't been
to Mount Pyre, but it still ties into stuff that you've done.
Yeah, Mount Pyre is like super obvious because it's like it's
all the ghosts that we let out to like do stuff like if they're
still like available and didn't get absorbed, they all went to
Mount Pyre from mobile, so. I would definitely recommend
like your character specific ones.
I'm discounting the time it takes so don't.
I wouldn't even consider those honestly.
I mean, unless you do want to go minimum and just do those,
that's cool. But I would recommend some of
these things are like really potent.
Maybe just try a couple and vibe it out and if you don't like it,
maybe just call it. Or if you like to keep getting
them up to you. It's hard.
I really want to like, I don't want to point you one way or
another. And I can't tell you what's
going on. And I also can't tell you what
energy is getting. So it's like.
No, exactly. It's totally fair.
It's just guessing. So maybe we should pick maybe
one or two that are not character specific, try them and
then like you were saying, try them and then.
Yeah, we want to do all the character specific ones like for
sure. Yeah, period.
Yeah. I think that's probably a good
way to go about it, just like feel it out based on vibes on if
you want to keep grabbing more or not, Yeah.
OK. I think that's reasonable.
OK. So then question for the chat,
which ones do we want to look at like we should probably list out
like which ones are character specific first so we know not to
consider them for like the non character?
Specific. Well, some of the ones that are
character specific also have a black dot, so that means there's
like a another thing there too. Right.
So we will be doing those anyway.
Right. Yeah, I kind of botched it.
Like there's multiple and meteor falls, but there's only one in
Zootopolis. So like, it's a little confusing
that way. I'm sorry.
I could have made that more clear.
I would reference the list for the for the number of boons that
are at. How many boons are OK?
OK OK OK. So like Sky pillar is character
specific plus an actual boon, correct?
Correct. Who has the most like combined?
I think, I think it's just the one that's Cindy and Gimli, yes,
Said from Duford, where we were all gonna go.
Yeah, Duford and Loveridge are the only combinations and
everyone should have two. I think it's 3. 33 Yeah,
everyone should have 3. Look, I think I.
Definitely have three, and if not everyone has three, that's
kind of weird. I missed one I think.
Oh nevermind, I didn't got 3. It could be a good.
No, I think I got 1. You know.
Discuss, but you'll leave too. Yeah, there's only two pink.
Did I only? No, there are.
Oh no. There's 3.
I'm in Duford. I miss you topless and Duford
and follow. Yeah, I.
Miss you, I miss you topless. Yeah, yeah.
It like if you aren't sure what one of the random ones are,
maybe as a group, like discuss what did we do here?
Who did we meet here? Yeah.
And maybe that could give you clues.
Yeah. Route.
I don't fucking know. South of Marvel is where we met
the hooded figure I. I mean which routes to that?
Are you talking about? That's right, at the Trick
House. Yeah, that.
That's the trick house. Yeah, I'm going to the trick
house. We're going to the trick.
House with me. We're going to the trick house.
I'm down. I'm down for trick.
House. All right, Squids, where are we
going? Well, the girls are at the
trick. OK, let's look at our list.
Here you want to go with me to 4 tree.
Yeah, I'll go to forgery. Yeah, that's fine.
OK, I'm scared of that one. Isn't forgery where we met Zoe?
That is, that's where her house is.
That'll be interesting. I.
Don't know if that's. I think that that could be like,
let me look. What does forgery have?
Two things it does. Yeah, Forgery has 2.
So one of them could be Winona and one of them could be.
Yeah, I was like, I was like, I think Winona is.
Yeah. It's.
Like. Well, for so I I mean, maybe you
guys can also pick one because Schmidt has to go there anyway
because it's one of Schmidt's things.
So yeah, if you. Guys want to pick a different
one? Yeah, pick one that's not.
Neutral, Yeah, we need to, yeah, so.
We're going to go to the truck house, which is not tied to a
character. It was going to say that I know
like Cindy has one in Petalburg, but maybe we all meet up in
Duford and then take Deez Nuts back to Petalburg so we can turn
her back in to the rental place and then they.
Say that might not ship and that's like hell.
Yeah, I don't know if that's a priority, but.
I mean, if travel doesn't count, we can't get shipwrecked again
on 100 course, right? That's true, right?
Right for. Neutral.
Neutral stuff. I am.
I'm kind of curious about Mount Pyre.
I can't lie. And then I'm also, I think I'm
also interested in what the hell is that little town next to the
Sky Pillar? Pacific.
Log Pacific. Log I'd join you on Pacific Log.
Yeah, I think we can go to because then we can Pacific log
chain to Sky Pillar. I know there's no travel time,
but it feels more natural. Yeah, and we would go there
anyway before Sky Pillar. So is it Schmidt and Gimli for
Sky Pillar as well? Yeah, I I think that would make
sense. Yeah.
Unless like unless we wanted like lore moment for somebody
else to join Schmidt and Sky Pillar.
But I I can gladly help the hero and his hero's journey to be the
same wise. I like it.
Cool.
So that's character specifics plus one for each pair, right.
Yeah, Yeah. So.
Oh. No, no, that was too neutral.
And then character specifics, yes, we sell.
We sell the distributors going to what?
But yeah, that's like what we were doing.
That's not right. That's probably a good, good
initial layout. And then depending on what you
see, maybe you do more so. I pretty want to see like
obviously the character ones we're going to do.
I kind of want to, I know it might not be in order per SE of
like how it would make sense to travel.
I do like, I want to see what the at the trick house like
before we get too much farther into planning.
Because if it's like really, really good, then it's like, oh,
we might want to do more of these little, little dots.
So you want to do the neutral ones first.
I think so, yeah, because then we can continue planning before
we lock in every. Time.
Should we? What do we have enough space to
do? Every single combination.
Well that's why I'm wondering. I don't have any LED ones, it's
the only thing I'm missing so. Yeah, we can do something
together. Yeah.
And make sure we get every permutation.
Yeah, that'd be. So fun.
Yeah. So like for Cindy, she has
Heidelberg. Yeah.
I need one for Schmidt. Me and Cindy need one for
Schmidt. So Schmidt has.
Schmidt has one. Left I would Schmidt like 3
times yeah yeah I could I could easily trade one out like go
like. Or you could trade like fore
tree or something. Yeah, like you got one of you
can go within the fore tree. One of you desperately want to
go to Sky Color. Yeah, either.
Way. I mean I could go to meteor
falls. That sounds fun.
Yeah, but it did leave. That's the only one left for
Schmidt. That's why I'm.
Asking. This well, but like Schmidt,
Schmidt could come with me to like follow Fall Arbor or
something. That's true, yeah.
One of you would need to come with me to Fall Arbor and one of
you would need to come with me to Settopolis.
I don't know if either of you have a preference.
I'm curious of pseudopolis. OK.
I'll go to Fall Harbor. OK, it looks like none of these
visits are going to be solo, is that correct?
That's correct. OK.
We're pairing. We want to pair up for
everything at least 2. OK, yeah, you'll be rolling
DC's. Some of them are predetermined
what skill they are, some are not.
Regardless, they're all going to be reduced by 4 if you're going
to pair up, so that's pretty Dang good.
Do you guys want to get started or do you want to RP at long
rest? Are we gonna RP a long rest or
we just sleep in an eaten buffet?
Food from the two Lennon butlers again.
It's not a bad life, especially after the weeks of adventure.
We can probably, we can probably rest.
You guys are welcome to return to the seaside resort, Mr.
Mimosas. It's not that they're hostile,
but it is trouble should make it kind of stinky and they are
trying to close so they will more or less escort you out.
You can return to the seaside resort again.
You're staying for absolutely free.
And again, when you enter, the clerk behind the counter as well
as just the guests in the lobby all just regard you with some
reverence. They all recognize you as the
heroes that save Mosti. And the bronze on elevator will
take you up to your snazzy penthouse suite.
Up at the top, the two lining butlers will be awaiting for
you, and you're welcome to tuck into bed and have a long rest.
Is does anyone want to do anything in the hotel before
they sleep? Where's Calvin's mom staying?
Follow up on that. Yeah, I'm surprised it's not a
vignette. Kind of cringe.
I think it's. Fine.
Anyone is welcome to make any sort of check to determine where
she might be staying. Probably history might be the
best way to do that. That's y'all's check.
I'm good. At us if he's on, if he's not a.
Guy, US 28 for history. OK, yes, Cindy's not really
sure. She knows off of an 8 that they
didn't stay in the same hotel, that's for sure.
OK, OK. Packa will sleep through the
night and prepare to start their day.
They can sleep as long as they like.
The Linings will cook them breakfast as a reminder.
Y'all have a free shopping trip as well for outfits?
I was just gonna wear my hotel fit.
Yeah, but that's cool too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It may be something to think about for, you know, final boss
outfits. Schmidt, we'll get up early and
go shopping for his outfit. Very good.
Is he gonna shop in Mos Deep City?
Yeah. OK, is anyone going to join
Schmidt? I think the idea was Schmidt got
up early so he'd be ready. So he'd be alone.
He wants to be alone. Got it.
Yeah. Schmidt can head on down to Faye
Mart right around 7:00 AM or so, maybe even earlier.
I don't know what Schmidt schedule is like.
And Faye is working. There's a little Bing bong as
you enter the Mart, and Faye greets you with enthusiasm.
Welcome, Schmidt. What can I get for you?
OK, I have a very specific idea or an outfit and I need your
help. Faye will say absolutely, and
she'll procure a little notebook and a pen and she will be
prepared to write and she'll give you a little nod and she'll
say go ahead. Schmidt will like, draw out like
a sketch on like a notebook and then he'll be like, I'm looking
for something like this. OK, she'll take a look at it.
She'll say, OK, well, thankfully you already got the Cape, some
boots and buckles. I see.
Yeah, I can put something back together.
Just give me one minute. And she will go into like the
clothing section of Fade Mart, which seems like it's somehow in
the past two days, recently expanded somehow.
And she will return with exactly the items you've described.
And she said something like counting.
She says, here you go sick. She says you're welcome to take
a pro bono since you saved the town and you got me my job
basically in a weird backwards way.
Don't worry about it and tell your friends to come visit too.
Sick and I'll give her a metallic thumbs up.
OK with the with the bird hand, Yeah, Hell yeah.
Also note, like most of the campaign, Schmidt had been
hiding the metal bird hand, but it's on like full display now
like. It's no shame, no rough.
Yeah, that's cool. The time has come.
Let the people bow. She doesn't, like, make any sort
of grimace or particular reaction to the metal hand.
She thinks it's kind of cool. Anything else for Schmidt?
Nope, I guess change my clothes. Yeah, yeah, you can do that
there. Back up the hotel, you can do
whatever you want. Anyone else have morning errands
they would like to commit to I? Guess I'll commit to my outfit.
I'm on Dick's or Dickies looking at overalls so.
OK, so are you also going to go visit Fay Mart?
Yeah, I'm like, OK, need a need a final fight outfit.
Just get the. Green Moss, green overalls,
Yeah. Yield toe boots.
No, yeah, she has no issue procuring this at all.
It's pretty common for adventurers to wear this type of
clothing, actually. I was like, do you have like a
mining hat as well? With a little little lamp I can
get on there. No, no, it could be dark.
She said yeah, absolutely. Let me get that for you.
What color we'll. Go with the classic safety
yellow. She says very good, she'll
rummage around and bring those items forward and she says I
think these are your size. And she will tell you the same
thing that she told Schmidt. It's it's all for free cuz
you're heroes. So you guys have gloves too?
I might need some some workmen's gloves.
She says absolutely, they're all on the rack and she will point
to the rack and she says you can help yourself.
There's a whole bunch of colors, any kind of color you want.
I gotta get the matching for. Screen perfect and the overalls
are over like a short sleeve shirt, right?
Like a work shirt. OK, awesome.
Yeah, tan short sleeve shirt that fit, That fit.
Perfect brown boots. Yeah, brown boots sealed toad.
Very cool. Yeah.
And you're able to get all those items, and you were all set.
All good to go. Oh, yeah.
Perfect. Elodie and Cindy will find some
time during the day to make their way over to Faye Mart.
Faye is, of course, still working.
It seems like your store has recently expanded.
She's willing to help you get whatever kind of outfits that
you want, as long as it is fully cosmetic.
She will also sell you goods that might be more practical,
but you can wear anything you like.
So whoever wants to go first. Did I already purchase an
Evlite? I don't believe you did, Faye
Mart Faye would gladly. Sell one I would I need one.
You will pay 500. That sounds about fair.
Yeah. OK, 500 pokey dollars to be
exchanged for a little pinkish purple orb that seems to have a
profound effect on Pokémon that have yet to fully evolve.
Did you take the basket? Yeah.
Did you take note of the effect? I think it was advantage on
saves in combat and it was +2 AC.
Make you bulky. That's huge.
Yeah, it's pretty big. Cool, we're.
Going to get that to basket the carcool.
Who will remain A carcool? I'm assuming Yes.
Very fun. As far as outfit, I want a
T-shirt that says get lit bro instead of that's lit bro.
Go on. It looks the same just says get
lit bro on it instead. OK.
So it's still like yellow tee. Yeah, with the flame on it.
Denim shorts, some like flame shoes of some capacity if
possible, a Cape that looks like a flame.
Hell yeah, he's got all that stuff.
What else? Like little little wrist cuff
things with flames on them. I'm picturing like the fuzzy
bracelets that roller bladders wear.
Is that kind of angle or is it something else?
I mean, I drew it in. I put it in campaign art.
Yeah, but it's an audio podcast. I'm trying to get your
description. I know, I know, I I don't know.
I didn't draw any texture so they can have whatever texture.
Yeah, listeners, just turn your attention to campaign art and
you do that. And no, I'm.
Discussing. It'll be on Discord.
Join the discord, yeah. That's true, yeah.
Just join the Discord for exclusive look content of your
outfit. It might go on Patreon at some
point too, who knows. I mean, they could, like, you
mean like sweat bands like wrist, Yeah.
Yeah, sweat bands. I guess that's what they are,
right? Sure.
Sure, why not? Something like that?
Any other descriptor? I mean, I drew fishnet tights
because I thought that'd be funsies.
Sure. Here's taker leave them.
Here's a question. Throughout the campaign it's
been in different kind of levels of stealth.
Are you loud and proud wearing archaeus amulet around neck or
is it tucked away? I guess we can have it out.
OK, very fancy. It's it's a fun contrast with
the rest of Cindy's outfit because Cindy is such a teen and
got such a, a youthful fashion sense.
And this amulet has the look of something that like maybe a 90
year old grandmother who is very pious might wear.
So it's a fun kind of contradiction.
Very cool. Anything else for Cindy?
I think that's it. OK.
Chat. Any ideas for items that I might
need? You got the EV light you needed,
right? Yes.
And all your all your main squad mates all have items like does
everyone have something? We got charcoal, we got bang.
Has the rocky helmet but I don't know if it does anything.
If he gets attacked with a contact move, that does stuff
so. OK.
Do you have a Dragon Fame or is that something that Schmidt has?
I feel like a Dragon Fame was distributed at some point but.
I have a razor claw. Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, Yeah. I have a sharp.
Beak Razor claw is a good item. It decreases your crit threshold
so you can crit on 19 instead of 20.
Oh, or in for saves it would be crit on 2 instead of just one.
OK, I also have a Was it like mystical water?
Yeah, Mystic Water. I don't think you have any
Pokémon that can use that though.
Kyogre, OH. Yeah, that's true.
The water type, right? Larvestar.
I don't know if Larvestar has anything.
You could shop for something. You could give it a Berry.
It would definitely do well with a bunch of the berries that you
got. Yeah, up to you.
I'll. I'll hold on that for for now.
I think I'll be out like I'll assess the Berry situation.
You'll have plenty of time. Very cool.
Any other all right little flavor things?
No, I think I'm good. OK, LDR Rizzler, the number one
Rizz member of the Quacko Packo, what are you going to wear?
It's me, the Rizler, yes. So I had a bit of a process to
land where I did with the idea for Elodie's final costume.
So I kind of want to talk through a bit of my process and
I'll send images, but I'll describe them so I'll know like
what's going on. So the first idea I had was to
like give her outfit and element from like each of her Pokémon.
But then I was like, that's going to look really like busy
and kind of crowded. And it did.
So I was like, never mind, let's not go that way.
But the idea was like taking cabbages, original little
candies and like putting them in the hair and then having like a
stone on the chest for Car bank, having like a little cloud
looking boa thing for Alteria, having like a Pearl belt thing
for Primarina, the clefairy wings, the iron Valiant skirt
situation. What else did we have?
There was going to be like a key chain for lipard.
But yeah, it just, I didn't like it.
I was like, this is too busy. It's not working for me.
And then I found kind of a cute dress that I was like, this is
like definitely LED vibes. And it's like kind of pink and
blue swirl that we like cabbages and it looks like kind of fairy
vibes. It's got like a handkerchief hem
thing. And then I was like, this isn't
anything too crazy. And then I was like inspired by
Schmidt's outfit of having the like, what is the word I'm
looking for? Like jumpsuit type vibe.
And I was like, what if we went that way?
So I've kind of settled on, I think what we're going to do is
having like a white jumpsuit to kind of contrast to kind of
emulate the like astronaut vibes, like astronaut suit
vibes, but it's like sleek and white.
And then having like a, because we all need a Cape.
Like we decided kind of looks like like cabbage has her kind
of curvy Ness to her. So it's like kind of curvy like
that. And then some high boots and
then obviously, like the Hoover ring.
And I think keeping the, like, cabbage candies is a cute idea.
Otherwise, at one point I was like, oh, I should like,
incorporate the fact that she's a Baker.
And I was like, actually, I think the outfit should not
because I think she's come so far.
I don't think she's just a Baker anymore.
And I kind of want the outfit to reflect that.
So I was thinking kind of like Spacey vibes.
Keep it simple, fashionable. So yeah, that's where I'm at.
That rules. Thanks for the process.
Awesome. All very cool.
Of course, Faye has no issue getting you these items.
It's exactly what you're looking for.
It's almost like she knew you were coming to get you exactly
what you wanted. That's.
Yeah. I like the final take on the on
the astral theme. I think the boots that you've
sketched also tie into that. That's pretty fun.
Really cool stuff. Thank you for that.
Is there any other sort of shopping that you would like to
conduct? You think I'm good for now?
Great Faymark will check the two of you out and you can be on
your merry way. What's next for the Paco?
Do you guys want to go to Pacific Log first or do you want
us to go to the Trick House first?
I. Kind of want to see what's up
with the trick house. I'm going to be honest, yeah.
Trick house gaming. Yeah, Trick house gaming seems
right. OK, very good.
You know, between the Paco there's Diana, the Gyarados,
Altarias are Blueberry and Patricia.
Even for some like water travel, there's bubble gum.
The Premarina and grief use the Swampert and like Salomons can
fly around. Basically everyone can
contribute to movement besides Gimli, but that's fine.
Gimli's very rugged and a hiker, and I can also just hop on a
Gyarados or an Altario or whatever.
So parties able to quickly move wherever they decide they need
to go up first, Elodie and Cindy make their way across Hoenn
because they're thinking about the allies and just citizens in
general that they've met throughout their adventures.
One particular location that comes to mind that originally
granted Elodie, an artifact that proved hugely useful until it
broke the Hooper Ring, came from the Trick House at Route 110,
just South of Cycling Rd. between Slate Port and Marvel
Cities. So Elodie and Cindy make their
way there, and they find themselves in front of the Trick
House. Just it seems like an unassuming
little like classic How in style.
Wooden house. The doors closed.
What'd you do? Knock knock, bitch.
Sure, Yeah, Cindy delivers the knock, knock bitch and there is
a kind of a come in sound from the inside.
Do you open the door and enter? Heck yeah.
Very good. You see a super ordinary looking
room. It doesn't particularly resemble
what you saw when you first came here.
It's like literally just a table in the middle of the room, some
bookcases, a couple windows, just a super ordinary looking
place. And there's a kooky looking old
man sitting at the table. He's bald, his eyes are wrinkled
shut, and in his ears he's wearing 2 huge golden hoop
earrings. He will say to each of you,
welcome back. You've already solved my
puzzles. What can I do for you now?
Listen, we are getting ready to face off against the evil team
energy and thwart their plans to destroy this world, and we would
really appreciate your help in taking them down.
The old man will stroke his chin and it seems like he is
squinting in thoughts, but it's hard to tell because his
eyeballs are not at all visible. His giant hoop rings will dangle
in his ears, he'll say. And why should I, the trick
master, help you? Do you like playing tricks on
people in this house and in this world?
The old man will say, well yes, you could say, it's my whole
will to live. Well if NRG destroys this world
then you won't be able to do that anymore.
Very good. Roll a persuasion please 1414
it's good enough. Old man of the trick house H
Trick seemingly will say, I think you have a point.
I've had my eyes on those NRG freaks and I think I know what
they're up to. You're going to need the big
guns if you're going to try and take them down.
He stands up and he holds his arms in like AT pose and he does
a goofy ass spin. He goes incredibly fast and then
at some point his human body disappears and he reappears as a
little imp floating Pixie guy he recognizes as Hoopa.
You had a food fight with Hoopa a few weeks back.
Hoopa will say, here, take this, this should serve you quite
well. And he dislodges one of his
giant earrings, and he shakes it around.
And instead of becoming golden, it becomes like a spooky purple
color and it's like surging with evil looking shadows.
And he says when the time comes, give this a throw and I will
come to lend my aid. Thank you, this is really
helpful. And so you may add Cursed Hoopa
Ring to your inventory and we will reveal what your boon is.
It is. I'll read it out loud, but you
can also read it. It is Hoopa's big trick.
You will get access to summon actions in the final boss
fights. At the end of your turn, you are
welcome to perform a summon action.
As a summon action, Hoopa arrives at the final battle and
becomes unbound. They use their portal power to
call the aid of a legendary on the following D12 table, where
the summoned legendary will obey the allies for three turns.
Yo fuck, that's. Pretty cool.
Let's. Go now.
This is the first vignette you've done.
They're not all like this. OK, just for the record, you
just chose well, OK, the the unlabeled ones, like the non
character specific ones, some of them are this crazy, but you've
picked a pretty particularly crazy one, just so you know.
And that is 1 vignette done. Congratulations.
What's next? Stop that Pacific log I.
Guess we'll check Pacific log and then accidentally see Mirage
Island. Let's see.
So that's Schmidt and Gimli. Yep, Schmidt and Gimli leaving
from Moss Deep. Think about the mysterious
places in Hoenn they haven't been yet.
And one of the more iconic towns in Hoenn is the is Pacific Log
Town. It's not one that they
encountered on their adventures, but it is one that is quite
notorious. It is a town that is completely
built on basically floating pieces of wood just adrift in
the Hoenn Sea. Gimlin Schmidt thought it was
pertinent to pay a visit. You arrive at this funny little
town. There's only a few houses.
There's a Pokémon Center, and you see a man sitting outside
the Pokémon Center wearing a straw hat.
He's got a fishing line that is like in a bucket that is
dangling into the water. He's clearly not doing any
fishing, and he's playing on a mysterious ocarina.
It is pink in color and it's making some beautiful, beautiful
sounds. You feel compelled to say
something to him. What do you say?
Sick tunes. Bro very good.
Yeah, it's a lovely song you're playing, Sir.
One or both of you, please just roll a Charisma.
Yeah, sure, that can be the tune.
Oh, I crit. OK, OK, I don't.
I don't think my 11 matters though.
Yeah, that's fine. With the critical success, this
gentleman will peer up from his tune and you know you, you had
the courtesy to make sure that you made a comment in like a
lull. Seemed like he was done with the
piece. He will look at the two of you
and he will say hi. Thank you.
I think I recognize you from the television.
You. You're the Quacko Packo, aren't
you? That we also.
He says you've done a lot for the little island communities of
Hoenn. I've heard of your exploits in
do for town and as well as Moss Deep City just this past
weekend. Seems like you all have some
good heads on your shoulders and you're out to to save the world.
Am I right about that? We're trying, Sir.
He says it also seems like you may be enthusiasts for some good
music. Is that also true?
I. Would love a good tune Sir.
He says excellent. Well as patrons of quality music
and the heroes of the hoe and region, I have a gifts for you.
And he stands up and he hands you his little ocarina.
He says I'm not entirely sure what kind of challenges you are
soon to face here in Hoen, but plan my little Ocarina and I'm
sure that you will find some help.
So he gives you the Corsola Ocarina As a summon action.
You can call forth a tidal wave of Corsola to disrupt the
battlefield. Create a 20 foot line and move
it up to 30 feet in any direction.
All targets smaller than Gargantuan are pushed along the
line to a final location within range.
I'm not gonna lie, the legendary one's super cool and I like this
better. Yeah.
This is better. I think Gimli needs this flute.
Oh yeah, that's like I. Think that definitely that's
can. You show me how it works.
Sure, I'm not very musically glad, but I.
Can. Oh God, oh God.
Yeah. So, yeah, you can say, well,
some people are skeptical as how Pacific Lock floats on the sea,
especially considering the route just to the West is full of
vicious Rapids. I'll tell you a little secrets.
Some of these houses are floating, not necessarily even
floating. They're on stilts made of living
Corsola who keep the town held up on their own accord.
And so if you hand it over to him, he'll play a little tune, a
little ditty that Gimli will have no problem memorizing.
And this ocarina is particularly easy to figure out.
And then off in the distance, you just see like a slowly
swelling pink mountain emerge from the sea and then dip back
under as if a whale breached, like a whale made of coral.
And he's he, he trusts you to make good use of this victim.
Thank you Sir, this is incredible.
He says you're very welcome, now save all of us and save Hoen.
And he kind of lifts up a fist and he looks at you very sternly
and he knows that you will do him right.
We'll do our best, Sir. Also returns the fist.
Yeah, perfect. Congratulations.
You have the. Coral.
Coral, yeah. What is next?
So how many more of these unknown vignettes are we going
to do? They kind of fucking slap.
Well, we. Picked some bangers to be fair,
I don't like Artemi's like I do kind of want to explore them,
but I'm also like, man, we got the legendary one and the
Corsola wave. I'm like, we can look at a
couple of them, but I don't know if we want to just go like bang
all out because like not all like Rich said, he's like, I
don't want to disappoint you because not all of them are
going to be someday random legendary on AD 12 roll.
You know they still could be bangers, so.
Yeah. It's a perfectly reasonable
option if you guys decide you do want to do all of them.
I'm not expecting it, but if you make that decision, that's on
you. That's totally reasonable.
So what's next? You want to do the other Schmidt
and Gimli ones. What else to do?
Was Schmidt and Gimli? We have 4 trillion sky pillar.
Yeah, you guys want to do like sky pillars right there or
whatever? Well, that's why we've.
Yeah, this Oregon Pacific log, it's like.
We're on the way, like OK, Sky pillar time.
Sky pillar time I guess. Very good.
Time. Leaving from Pacific logs since
it seems to be so close, Schmidt references the dragon, its
scroll that he was given along with his Cape, and the other
things that the dragon is bestowed upon him along with the
title of Lore Keeper. Flying over the sea for some
time, the clouds begin to part and they he sees like this
ancient looking tower that goes impossibly high into the sky.
It seems that there previously had been no doors perhaps, but
there is a gaping hole at the base.
The clouds part just like you can't even see the top of the
tower because above more towards the atmosphere, you can't even
see the top of the tower. Schmidt, I will say if you were
riding on Patricia or Diana, it is up to you if you want to
enter the tower or try and brave the potentially fierce winds and
fly right to the top. You down for a little dungeon
crawl? Absolutely.
So I'm here. We'll go at the bottom.
OK. You enter through the bottom of
this ancestral place, whether or not you are particularly keen
on, you know, sentimentality for things that were built by
ancient peoples for divine purposes, etcetera.
Whether you're religious or not, this certainly has an air of
majesty to it. It feels kind of very formal,
very almost alien. It's similar to Meteor Falls,
but it feels even older. You enter into this hallowed
monuments and you see that it is adorned with the same kinds of
artwork and etchings and perhaps language that you saw at Meteor
Falls and even in parts of a granite cave in Duford town.
If someone wants to make a religion or investigation check
or both even, I can let you both do that.
Yeah, I'll roll for it. I'm.
Profession or religion? OK.
Give me caring. I roll the 19 and -1 gives me
18. That's fine.
Yeah. You can interpret these murals
to understand that this is kind of telling the same repeat fable
that you've seen told back at Meteor Falls as well as Granite
Cave. The legendary Pokémon of Hoen
tend to be calamitous in a sense.
They they slumber for a very long time and then they come
forth and cause chaos and destruction.
You would presume based on your 18 that the denizen of whatever
deity resides in this tower is somewhat responsible for
maintaining balance and order to the Hoenn region.
All the artwork shows a beautiful Serpentine emerald
green colored creature coming and dissuading the combat
between Kyogre and another fearsome looking legendary
Pokémon depicted in the mural. You see a flight of stairs and
you assume by looking directly up that you're going to be
climbing many many, many stairs. Do you begin to take the stairs?
Yep. OK Yep.
You do so immediately after arriving on the 1st floor that
is not the ground floor. You hear and see lots and lots
of resident Pokémon you are familiar with.
A Pokémon that is a little impish, a little looking fairy
creature that seems somewhat metallic.
It has a giant jaw on the back of its head and it regards you
with its forwards smaller face. There is a floating Pokémon that
seems to resemble a top, but it also looks very alien, has many
sets of eyes across its body. It's a clay doll, one that
you've battled at Tayton Liza's gym.
Additionally, there are various ghost type Pokémon scurrying
about. One in particular is small and
bipedal and has gems in its eyes.
They regard you with caution. I need Schmidt particularly to
make a Charisma check. That's the 16. 16 is perfect.
All these Pokémon that are standing on little carved out
marble ledges are like in desecrated windows or just parts
of this tower that just have worn away with time.
They all gather around together and they all regard Schmidt, and
all of them either kneel or bow in recognition of him.
Schmidt's never met these Pokémon before, but these
Pokémon know who Schmidt is. You continue to climb the tower.
Yeah. OK, you go up a couple more
flights of stairs trying to get to the top.
You find yourself on a floor that has seems that it has lots
of more of more of the mural type artwork, but additionally
lots of looking artifacts and like gems and urns that could be
full valuables that are perched on little tables.
But additionally it seems that there are traps in this room.
Perhaps you see holes in the floor that unsuspecting thieves
or people looking to loot this place might have fallen into and
seriously hurt or killed themselves falling through.
I will need one of you to make a Acrobatics dexterity check.
You can both roll, but I only count the value of 1.
Roll can. We just fly over.
Sure, you can do that as well. Who's your Pokémon for?
Is it Patricia? Yeah, Patricia, OK, we'll hold
on to Patricia's feet so they'll like parachute us over.
OK, yeah, that totally works with your -4 going as a pair.
I'm not even gonna make you roll for that.
Patricia is able to successfully get you over these holes in the
floor and you're able to continue ascending.
You get towards the top. You have one more small set of
stairs before you get to the absolute height of the sky
pillar. You start to feel a little light
headed because of the altitude. You are very high up in the sky.
You see a mysterious pile of bones and skulls in a corner
piling up quite high. Probably a mound that is almost
10 feet tall and is just a Dome of just fleshless bones.
I'm going to ask for an investigation check. 8 + 513. 13
is enough to know that just based on how this is piled up,
it doesn't seem like these bones have been treated with a very
much reverence. And it's also unusual how many
of them there are. There are a lot of them are
quite fresh. Those are the details that you
get from your investigation. Before you you can see at the
very top of the sky pillar, there is kind of a distant
howling wind as you are above the cloud cover.
At this point, you see an elaborate like, I guess I'll
call it the roof. The roof of the sky pillar has
very like narrowed short little walls.
They're about 3 feet high, just made of stone.
They're cracking and broken in a lot of places.
And you see a slight little series of stairs, a stairway
that's maybe two or three stairs.
It's the stairs are maybe 30 or so feet wide, very wide berth
and they ascend and then you see a series of pillars that seem
like they would have a flame on them but they are not currently
lit. Additionally, you see a lectern
or like I'm not sure the best word for it.
Easel's not the word. There's a formation of stone
that appears to have like the right size for there to be a
book on it and instead there seems to be a like a light blue
colored rock placed on top of it.
Roll me a perception, both of you. 15. 18.
OK, Yeah. As you're looking around,
examining this, you see a hooded character just kind of crouching
in the corner among a small pile of bones on the other side of
the roof. And you can meet their eyes,
Schmidt, And they look at you and they, they stand and they
slowly, like kind of hobble, like limp in your direction.
It seems that they'll slowly eventually meet you.
You'll hear a female voice say well, well, well, the true lore
keeper finally decided to show up, huh?
And who might you be? She will remove her hood and you
see some features that remind you of the Draconid elders.
This woman is clearly a Draconid.
She is well into adulthood. She is wearing a cloak that
seems to be like hastily made that somewhat resembles the one
that you were wearing. She will introduce you with some
emerald green gaze from her eyes and she says my name is Zinnia
and I used to be the rightful lore keeper now you have come
cousin to take this right from me.
Is that true? Sure man, I just kind of got
thrown into this. Yeah, and Gimli's just standing
here for what it's she says. Go on then, summon Ray Quasa.
Show me that you're worthy. Don't be sorry about it.
Do you? Do you attempt to do so?
Yeah, I didn't write down the poem.
It's on the scroll that you have.
Schmidt will reach into his bag and pull out the lore keeper Jim
and he will say with jeweled bright and borrowed might I
summoned the Ray Quasa. Perfect, give me just advantage
charisma on that. 18. Excellent.
As you do so, there's a great flash from the Keeper Gym, one
that you only recognize as being familiar, as when you first
initially received the Keeper Gym and it recognized you in
quotes. The clouds above you begin to
part and a brilliant emerald light shines down from the sky
and within a matter of seconds an enormous emerald green
Serpentine dragon descends at blinding speeds and begins to
hover right at the top of the sky pillar in front of the
little altar pedals to lectern that I described.
It coils its body as it floats and it looks at you cautiously
and then it turns its head and it looks at Zinnia cautiously
and it is looking back and forth at both of you and then it lets
out a mighty roar. It rumbles your body and as it
roars the two giant torches illuminate on either side of it
with an emerald green flame. Zinnia says no, it cannot be.
It cannot be. It seems that she's been
spending some time in isolation and she's feeling a little
crazy. Schmidt, Roland.
Insight, 3020. OK, that's excellent.
You can detect from this deity of winds that it is experiencing
a conflict. It is regarding both you and
Zinnia as perhaps the same quality of person.
And it is about to insist as to make some sort of determination,
you need to prove your worth somehow versus Zinnia.
What do you elect to do? I need to prove my worth.
I don't give a fuck about proving my worth.
Should I have to prove anything to you?
Help me. Yeah, but can I just?
Get the plate so I can go. Yeah, you can absolutely try.
To I don't. I don't really care about this
family drama. Give me the plate and I'll just
get the fuck out of here. So you just walk up and grab the
plate. Yeah, OK, Zinnia will as you
either decide to descend down the stairs or fly down from the
top of the tower. She'll say.
So that's just it. You'll just summon Rick Paisa
and just leave. Yeah, fuck you.
Very good. Oh yeah.
Yeah, so you do that. Congratulations, you are in
possession of the Sky Plate Sick.
Who knows if we'll become a requisite.
Maybe he'll go back and take a nap.
Like I'm hoping we get a repeat of the manga.
He's like, what just happened? Yeah.
He felt some conflict and ended up not making a decision, so he
probably goes back up into the sky.
Congratulations. If it's not clear, you have the
sky plate that is your. Yeah, we we got the sky plate.
Yeah, OK. All right, gang.
Who's next? Who's next?
We want to just top down the list you.
Just yeah, just go top the bottom so we don't have to make
a choice. OK.
Yeah. So, so gimliality, we're at
1:20. Yeah.
Perfect. Between running around Hoenn and
contacting the citizens and you know, acquiring these boons to
help you in your final mission, TMF Tiberius Matthias Ferris
Heart will approach Gimli and specifically make a request.
He will say. I think that I can be of great
service to you in your final encounter with Neo Rocket
Galactic. However, I might need your help
for a mission before then. Would you please join me to
Route 120? Absolutely excellent.
And of course you can bring LED as well, which I'm assuming that
you do. Woo woo.
TMF guides you through this tropical rainforest route they
even been on in many weeks. This is the route where you
found total and it was not a tropical rainforest.
You arrive and it's like midday and it's raining.
It's very humid and damp. He guides you through some lush
foliage, like almost jungle at this point, to arrive at a
ancient ruins, and it seems vaguely familiar.
It reminds you of the desert ruins where you first met Roger,
the Reggie Rock. There is a cave opening to it
and he ushers you both inside. You both follow him.
Absolutely. OK, you enter the tomb and what
do you find? It is similar to the desert
ruins. There's a lot of graffiti.
Some youngsters are coming in here and they're desecrating
ancient landmarks for clout for to be cool to their friends.
Among all of this, there is a marking at the far end of the
chamber, very similar to what you saw in the desert ruins.
TMF will bring you both over to it and he says, I cannot
decipher this, but solving this ancient text is going to be
critical for me assisting you. In Evergrand City, it seems that
there are three characters represented, and if you make
some roles, either religion or investigation, maybe you can
determine somewhere all of the letters that they're supposed to
represent. I'll roll an investigation.
Very good, as you should. I'm terrible at both those
things. Let's see you, so feel free.
Have you had religion from? Being no, no, no, no, you always
think that I don't have religion.
Rich brings up religion prompts all the time and I'm like, I
don't have proficiency in religion.
Like I don't know where this. Came from.
That's funny, I thought you did. Oh well.
Or I think you just gave him advantage a couple times because
Sino's religious. Yeah, that could have been it.
I got a 15. OK, analyzing the text and with
Elodie's familiarity of just like the dragon and stuff and
like the desert ruins, she's able to kind of deduce that the
first letter in your language would probably be AD and the 3rd
letter would probably be AG. TMF looks stumped.
He doesn't know what to do. Gimli, I think you know what to
do. What do?
What do I do? Did you have to jig?
I think so. OK, I guess.
I guess I start digging, huh Are.
You going to grab your pickaxe and dig?
Oh yeah, I got my pickaxe. I got my shovel like we're.
Good, perfect. You start swinging TMF notices
like oh seems like they must have cracked it.
Elodie, do you assist in the digging as well?
I will assign grape juice to assist in the dig.
OK. Perfect.
Grape juice. Take this shovel.
He loves it. He loves shovels.
Yeah, new cannon. That's awesome.
Yeah. After only a couple minutes of
digging, there's kind of a deep clunking sound of the chamber
and the floor kind of gives way to yet again another somewhat
sand slide effect and you're all going to fall down it unless you
try and make a deck save to resist.
But it seems like TMF is willingly jumping down the sand
slide. Does anyone do that?
You all do it. Go in.
OK, You arrive at the bottom of the slide and you find yourself
once again in kind of like a dimly lit chamber.
And once again, there's like a pile of bones, of human bones
like in the corner. And TMF holds out his arms and
he says we should not move any further.
We risk time dilation. And time is of the essence, we
must wait for our emissary to arrive.
And almost like right on QS, he says that a mysterious figure
emerges from the shadows to the left.
It is a bipedal blue wolf like looking Pokémon that has parts
of its bones like sticking out from its palms and its chest.
It seems like it's a capable fighter.
And it comes up to TMF and you, Gimli and Elody and give
somewhat of a knowing nod. Do you say or do anything
regarding this Lucario who has appeared out of the void to
greet you as you entered this tomb?
Is this our? Is this our guy?
TMF says yes, this is an emissary from Iron Island, and
it seems that this emissary will be granting us some sort of
gift. Gimli roller.
I don't know, Roller fucking advantage.
You want me to roll religion but.
No, not religion. I just want you to say something
to Lucario. Just something.
Anything. Doesn't really matter.
Emissary of the I greatly respect the Iron Island, so we
appreciate your support in helping defend this planet.
Perfect. Yeah, Roll me an advantage
charisma and get a higher than a six.
Yeah, they got 18. OK, perfect.
Lucario senses your sincerity, understands that you are from
Sino, and you do sincerely respect Iron Island.
But in a sense, they are Sino's original miners as they built
their whole civilization around the iron deposits that are
present around Conna Leave City. Lucario's eyes glow blue as it
interfaces with your mind and learns your secrets and your
history and and the mission that you're on.
And then we'll smash his hands together and like release them
and a tumbling of iron plates looking like armor just descend
from between the ore and its hands.
TMF will kneel down and pick up a piece of metal and he says the
finest of iron island metal. It this seems that this is
shaped in a peculiar way. And Gimli, you will notice that
this metal that Lucario has forged for you while in the
tombs is specifically a set of armor that is made for a
Gigalith. You have unlocked unique armor
that when worn, negates weaknesses specific to the rock.
Typing when receiving damage from attacks that make contact
does work as a held item, but it is armor for Gigalith.
Additionally, Lucario will kind of interface with TMF and it
will give him like a chunk of what like looks to be an
artificially made plate. Like it's not quite the same.
It looks like it was like, you know, it's not the iron plate,
but it has an essence of it which grants him some sort of
battery, just a limited effect for his register steel and as
such TMF will enable will be allowed to have his register
Steel assist you in the final battle.
What TMS register Steel does as a summon action?
Register steel fires a flash cannon that explodes in a 30
foot circle. Enemies that are hit suffrage.
Disadvantage on saving throws until the user's next turn in
initiative. So for a full round, a 30 foot
circle enemies hit will have disadvantage on all saving
throws and. Crazy info that he has a Reggie
Steel by the way. Yeah, I was like, hey, he has a
OK. That's been revealed.
We've discussed this. Yeah, I've.
Never. Because.
No, they asked about the other Reggie's.
And he also explained that, like Reggie, steel is limited power
because it doesn't have the plate.
It's no, no beep boop plate, Yeah.
That's funny that it sounded that you guys forgot because.
That's not supposed. To it's like, yeah, I was like
register you'll just fire a flash cat.
I'm like, excuse me, it just. Didn't do anything during that.
Life. Oh, me.
Just. Chilling.
Yeah, that's funny. OK, very cool though.
So those are your two boons from the ruins.
Way to go. Damn, it's I got I got to check
the stats of this armor because if it's it would suck if it's
not better than leftovers. It may not be, it's just.
It's really just up to you how you want to use it.
But it's so cool. You're welcome to use it for
flavor and not use the effect if you want, but I would probably,
well, I'll think about it. I'll try and come up with some
sort of compromise. What's next?
I'm back at it again with four Cree.
OK, when is Schmidt there as well?
Yep. OK Yep, very good.
Gimli meets back up with Schmidt after investigating the ancient
ruins on Route 120, and they decided to pay a visit to for
Tree City, a place that they have not been in quite some
time. That's the location of where
they received their first badge. It is roughly the location where
Cindy got the Atlas Stone, and it's also a location that
Schmidt remembers that he promised he would pay a visit to
the gym leader after some time. Standing outside of the gym,
kind of interacting with various wild bird Pokémon, Swabu, Taylo,
and not to is Gym Leader Winona. She doesn't notice you, Schmidt.
Schmidt, do you approach her and say anything?
Yeah, Schmidt will just like kind of shyly walk up and be
like, hey, a long time. No see.
Very good roller Christmas. How do I find myself in these
situations all the time? Well, this one was all you, not
this. Particular one this is what This
is the action of my company. I can't believe I found myself
in this situation. It's 11 on the charisma.
That's fine enough, because we have Gimli specifically because
you have Gimli with you. Very good, Winona will say.
Oh, Schmidt, it's been a while. Haven't seen you since the
challenge of the gym. How have you been?
You know, we've been on a journey.
And he kind of like, nods to his arm.
Winona will her eyes will get big and just say, oh is that
made of scar Marie Feather? Yeah, you know, not many people
notice that. I really, I really appreciate
that you that you noticed that. She goes to like inspect it and
touch it. Do you let her do that?
Yeah, OK, Schmidt's like blushing while she does it too.
Yeah, she gets like a little a little familiarly close and she
says, well, I've been seeing you and your friends on the news and
seems like you've been doing a lot for the hoe and Regent and
and tell you what, I know we were talking about a date when
you first challenged the gym. I don't have a lot of time right
now, but since you were so kind to pay me a visit, I think I can
help you out in your final battle.
She doesn't know it's your final battle.
In your next challenge, what do you say?
Yeah, it's not a date that I'll give her finger guns.
She says not a date yet and gives you a wink.
You get Winona's wings as a summon action.
Winona and her gym trainers use their flying type Pokémon to
rhythmically flap their wings in unison to aid the Packo.
Each Cracko Packo member and their Pokémon gain double
movement speed until the end of their next turn.
Additionally, Winona returns to her gym.
She gives Schmidt a little wink. She's still expecting to meet up
after Schmidt saves the world, but who does the Cracko Packo
see? Exiting from a house wielding
binoculars and lots of adventure gear, it's three familiar
looking MPCS that they haven't seen in a long time.
Their names are Chris, Josh, and a Raven.
It is in fact, the Shiny gang, and they are accompanied by a
new, very large looking toad Pokémon that is a slightly
unique shade of green. They recognize Gimme and Schmidt
and they run on over as fast as they can.
They're out of breath. They go.
We, we saw you, we, we know what you've been up to.
You've gotten so strong and so powerful, Raven says.
Yeah, sometimes we see your Pokémon on the news and we get
the magnifying glass and we look for shinies, and we think we've
only found one. Josh will say, please tell me.
Yeah, you just have one shiny, right?
Just one. That's all we could find.
I think it is still just grape juice, right?
We didn't get any more Chinese. Yeah, technically, no.
Like we had the regional modified ones, but like, nothing
shiny, yeah. We haven't got a We've run into
a couple of other shinies. Yeah, we haven't gotten them.
Yeah, Schmidt will tell them about like, the pink Sharpito
that nearly destroyed their boat that they were on.
Oh cool, you remembered one. Yeah, roll a charisma with for
performance with advantage. Thank God for advantage because
I rolled the four. That'd be a 17.
Yeah, well, because you specifically remembered one of
the few shinings that you've encountered, That's pretty good.
I'll give you advantage for that.
They are enamored with your story.
You tell it in a way that's very endearing, and they say, wow,
that's some exclusive knowledge. They didn't talk about that on
the TV. And Doughnut also seems quite
elated. Doughnut, the shiny Venusaur,
They say, well, we've been collecting a lot of shinies and
we can't wait to show you. But we know that you're busy.
So maybe the next time that you're having a a difficult
combat, you could just take this and Chris will hand you a very
reflective piece of metal. It's just a little square of
metal. And he says just just shine this
up at the sky when the sun is out and we'll come and we'll
show you our shinies. OK, so the shiny game as a
summit action, all of them and Venusaur will show off their
shinies. You can choose a 30 foot circle
on the battle map and cause all enemies inside to be blinded
until the users next turn. Additionally, Donut will give a
doughnut to each of the Quacko Packo that you can use.
Your summit. Forget the legendaries.
Forget. The.
Horsala wave, we get doughnuts of the vinyl battle.
There you go. Congratulations.
So confused. Then she'll be like, well,
there's a lot happening here, but you did call us, so we're
going to show you what we got here.
You did call us the end of the world of sight.
We. Did tell you we'd show up?
And I know it's the end times, but do you want to see my
collection? Yeah.
Listen. You've met shiny hunters in in
real life. Like they they love that stuff.
Yeah. So they will show you all their
shinies without question. Congratulations.
Cool, that was a 2 Fer. That was a 2 Fer.
We'd said it wouldn't be A2 Fer, wouldn't we?
It's on the list of two. It's just on the list of two
Fer. Very good.
What's next? Gochi MSI Yeah, it's me again.
Yeah, I gotta get a break. I just.
Looked at it with. You damn I.
Am looked through it and I'm like damn we just did four in a
row. World travelers, two more and
then. After some running around doing
a little bit of adventuring, touching base with allies, Cindy
and Schmidt decided it's time to just revisit the stronghold.
They've been there in a few days.
The last time they were there, some NRG grunts like decided to
pretend to be teenagers and tried to, you know, steal their
Pokémon. So it's probably a good time
just to check and see what's going on.
Cindy and Schmidt arrive at the Berry farm and they see Pumpkin
leading and coordinating all the little grass type Pokémon and
non grass type the birds and the normal types that also reside on
the farm just doing farm work. It seems like that like without
Cindy and without Gogi and Si her grandparents, this is still
like a pretty sustainable operation.
There may even still be sales happening.
Pumpkin senses Cindy's presence and gets very excited.
Let's out a classic victory bell scream and hops over to Cindy.
Cindy, what do you say Slash do for Pumpkin?
If I can because I am not very big but like pick up pumpkin and
like spin around. Yeah, roll make a vibes, make a
strength or decks just to see how far you can pick up pumpkin.
Also, how heavy is? Victory.
I don't know. I rolled A2 on the die.
OK. You're probably not going to
pick them up. But my strength is -1.
Just for our knowledge, we will see that Victory Bell weighs
only £35, actually not that heavy.
So yeah, you can pick up Victory Bell a little bit, do a little
spin. Schmidt, are you trying to do
something? No, I just think it'd be fun
flavor. You know, in the anime when
James had a victory bell and it kept like trying to eat him, but
lovingly. Yeah.
Just think it'd be funny if that happened that.
Could happen. Do you?
Would you permit that, Cindy? Yeah.
OK. Yeah, absolutely.
After being lifted up, Victory Bell will Pumpkin will shake
their head like that's not how you do it.
And then just jump and place their mouth over Cindy's body
and just scream. They will be they will be
holding back their digestive acids to as so as to not hurt
you, but they're basically like giving you a hug with their
giant mouth, which is their whole body.
And you're like inside a plant, which feels kind of weird, but
also maybe not super foreign because maybe this is just
something that victory Bill likes to do.
Eventually Victory Bill will let you out and like, look at you
affectionately and you will see all the kind of farmhand Pokémon
taking a break and running over and saying hello to you all.
You recognize Odish and Tailo and Piggy and C dot and all
sorts of grass and normal type Pokémon have come and just are
greeting you. Cindy, roll a Charisma please.
A 19 on the dye plus 3 is a dirty 20.
That's incredibly good. Yeah.
Victory Bell Pumpkin will look at you with kind of a knowing
gaze and pluck a particular like really delicate looking seed
from under its leaves and hand it to you.
It's giving you a mechanism to summon the Farmhand revolution
as a summon action. Pumpkin, Victory Bell and the
other tenants of the Berry Master farm assist in the final
battle. They released sleep inducing
spores in a 30 foot circle, subjecting all creatures within
to ADC 14 con save to fall asleep.
Congratulations. OK, that's pretty, pretty cool.
Yeah, is there? Anything else at the Berry farm?
Just flavor if you want to check on stuff, maybe see if berries
have truly been sold, whatever you want, but no pressing urgent
things are happening. Can I collect some berries?
Sure, you're more than welcome to roll me like an advantage.
Survival, probably. So with plus 10, that's a dirty
23 to my better role. Sure.
Yeah, roll AD 12. 9. Cool.
We're going to give you 11 berries.
We're going to just going to keep it easy.
We're going to give you 3 Lum, 3 Citrus, 3 Aya Papa, and two
Pattaya. They're all consumable held
items, or you could use them manually.
Blum cures any status condition. Citrus restores a certain amount
of HP that I'll have to calculate I pop up, restores
more HP, but if a held item it procs at a lower HP value and
Pattaya, not 32 Pattaya. Pattaya.
When you hit below a certain threshold HP, you get a damage
boost. Very good.
The next one is Loveridge town. Loveridge, Cindy and Gimli very
good. The Quacko Packo will reunite
and Sydney and Gimli will decide to pay a visit to Loveridge
Town, the home of the fire type gym as well as the city that
they protected during the volcanic eruption of Mount
Chimney. Gimli, you immediately notice as
you enter the town that not only have they memorialized and made
permanent the walls that you would constructed of stone to
protect the town from the calamity that was the Mount
chimney eruption. They've also erected a statue of
you. Gimli.
They've made a stone sculpture of Gimli and a bold or being
Trevor when he was still small in honor of your efforts saving
the town. It was not just you of course,
as the whole Packo, but they were particularly impressed with
your walls. And now Laveridge Town will
forever have walls and this inspires you in such a way that
you get Stone Craft Legacy as as a summon action, choose one
Pokémon. Upon falling to 0 HP, the sucked
Pokémon will immediately regain 50% HP.
The effect lasts until it is consumed.
Additionally, Speaking of Gym Leaders, like we did with Nona
Connor, the replacement for Flannery, the Gym Leader that
you all challenged and defeated is standing outside the springs
talking to some old ladies who are having a soak in the Hot
Springs. And he's he's talking with them
in a way that like he's almost like flirting with them and they
are blushing. And it's like so delighted by
his charisma. He's just a really likable guy.
He spins around, he's got his Blaziken with him, Turbo and
he'll say, oh, Cindy, you came back.
Are you already ready to be a gym trainer?
Quite yet. Not quite yet.
Do you have more to do? I've been seeing you on the
news, seems like you've been quite busy.
Yeah, we're just trying to save the world, you know, normal
shit. Oh, so it's not like you're like
a too, too good for me now, is it?
No, I'll still come back. Assuming we saved the world, you
know there's no no world and we don't save it.
Yikes. Roll a Charisma please. 10.
OK, Connor will say. Well, if there is a world you
promised, you'd still come back and see if you want to be a gym
trainer. Yes.
He says, well maybe I can help you out then if you will keep
that promise. Me and my gym trainers, whatever
challenge you got coming up, just throw this smoke bomb as
far as you can and we'll we'll come right over and he gives you
a smoke bomb do collect it. Yeah.
OK. You may now summon Connor's
Raging Blaze as a summon action Connor as Gym trainers call
forth their Pokémon to summon a 40 foot wide, 30 foot tall wall
of fire that lasts 3 rounds. Any Pokémon that end their turn
in the fire takes 6010 fire damage.
Any Pokémon that move through the fire on their turn must make
ADC 10 CON save or become burned on.
Very good. What's next for the gang?
All Arbor. Tow LED and Gimli both ready.
Yeah, Yeah. Let's do it, OK?
You arrived in Fall Arbor Town. You have some fond memories of
it being where you had to challenge Watson after Marvel
was under reconstruction from the terrorist attack.
Additionally, it was the first time you went to Mr. Mimosas.
It was also where you met Archie and Maxie for the first time.
You haven't seen Archie and Maxie since Masi City, and you
know where they live. You remember where their home is
with the fence off area where Numel likes to hang around, and
part of you was thinking that you might want to go check on
them. Do you pay them a visit?
Of course. Of course you knock on the door
and a quiet shuffle greets you and it is Maxi in kind of his
more comfortable kind of non going out clothes.
It's kind of like a Sunday morning vibe.
He has a cup of tea and he says, oh, Elodie Gimley, great to see
you. Please come in.
Did you enter? Yes, the first thing you see as
you enter in the living room, sprawled out on the couch with
all sorts of like scrapped food wrappers and bags and just like
wet towels and things. Is it like a very beat up
looking Archie? He is.
Seems that he's in a full recovery after trying to wrestle
the fish. He's all bruised up and he's
like in a bad state. There's like a sling propping
his leg up. He's just on the couch and
there's cartoons playing on the TV.
You can tell that if you were able to get up and hug you, he
totally would. And he says, oh, it's so good to
see both of you. Elodie Gimley, did you see me
wrestle that fish? Oh yeah, we sure did.
It was very, it was very cool. He says.
I was so close, I almost had it, but I think it was probably
better that you guys were there 'cause look at me now.
And Maxi will say yes, Archie got a little carried away.
And we are very grateful that you were able to quell the
monster once again. Clearly grumpy after not getting
another thousand years rest. But we couldn't have done
without you. So thank you.
And Archie will say, yeah, you all kicked ass.
And he, it seems like his exertion as he speaks is kind of
hurting him because he is broken all over Archie and Maxie.
They'll just suggest to you that they're very grateful for all
that you've done and that they would like to help you in your
final encounter. So very simply, without making
any roles, because this one is going to be easy anyways, you
get Wrath of the Uncles. Very simply, you will get our
chain Maxi in initiative. They will use Sharpedo and
Camera Out. Yo gay wrath.
Gay Wrath, I didn't think about that.
They're very happy to see you and they request that you give
best wishes to Cindy and Schmidt as well.
Of course we will do that of. Course, very good.
Elodie and Gimli perhaps known in the Packo for being the most
likely to consume libations. I think that might be
superlatives for them. And they both feel a little
thirsty. They're both feeling like
perhaps they should pay a visit to Mr. Mimosas.
Do they decide that they want to do such a thing?
Sure. Absolutely.
Perfect. They'll get some mimosas and
tell you what the Mr. Mimes they're doing, kind of.
It's like a super happy hour. These things are so cheap and in
fact, LED. Roll a Charisma.
Absolutely. Oh goodness me, I'm going to
have to do Math 27. Jeez, yeah, I guess you're level
13. They even one of the mimes,
like, does very elaborate miming with their dextrous fingers and
conveys the other mimes that you guys are the heroes of the Hoenn
region. And it seems like they're having
some sort of a mimosa drinking competition and whoever wins
gets a special prize. Will you guys participate?
Absolutely. What's that?
Question. OK I will need you both to roll
me con saves please. No problem 18.
OK, LED. Oh man, 17.
Wow, this was a high check, but you guys did great.
You guys drink your butts off, you down so many mimosas.
They're so impressed they don't even charge you for them.
And they are delighted to such an extent.
One of the mimes gives you a very curious, almost fushigi
looking little mirror ball. Not a disco ball, but like a
very reflective ball. It seems that this can allow you
to produce Mr. Mimosa's drunk tank as a summon action.
The faithful employees of Fall Arbors, Mr. Mimosas come to aid.
You can choose one creature. The Mr. Mimos will trap that
creature in a barrier box, making them incapacitated but
also invulnerable until the users next turn.
So you can, you won't be able to deal damage to what you target,
but it'll just be gone for a round.
So that's use it wisely. Sick.
Put it in a box. Oh, very good.
Congratulations. What's next?
Your. Falls, Baby.
We got Schmidt and Cindy going to Meteor Falls.
Yep. OK.
You know, it's been a while since you all have been to
Meteor Falls. The last time you were there.
Not a good time. It was rough.
There was the whole Deoxys situation.
Schmidt with his knowledge of like how the mountain is
structured and because you have powerful flying types, I'll
allow you to not go through the dungeon.
You can just fly around to like the back where the mountain
resides in the wall and you can enter through there.
Schmidt re encounters his family.
They are so, so happy to see him.
They all like embrace him and Walker especially.
We'll say it's really good to see you Schmidt.
I hope you've been well. That injury was tough, but I
hope that arm has been working out for you.
Yes, yes, it's it's bailed me out of a couple situations.
Thank you. He says I know you, you're doing
a lot and I'm worried about you still getting hurt.
So if you end up in another tricky spot, just know that the
other elders and I, we, we've got your back.
All right, all right. And he will firstly give you for
free. He will hand over to you a
peculiar looking horn, like a musical instrument type horn.
No, no, like keys, like a trumpet or anything, but just
seems like it's made out of a piece of bone.
He says. Do you remember that
demonstration when you first arrived?
And all, all of us elders, we all challenge the mountain.
Yeah. He says, well this is the tool
that we use to control the Mountain, and we'd like you to
have it just in case you need it in the future.
So he gives you a fracture Tusk that has been carved into a horn
that you can blow into. As a summon action.
You can call forth the giant Tyranitar known as the Mountain
to your aid. It will remain for three turns.
Holy shit. I'll fucking mounted.
The Walker will then say, well, we're glad you're here because
we've encountered an unusual situation with Deoxys.
Would you come take a look? Yeah, yeah.
He got you over to the center of town where there's a clearly
distinct crater. All the buildings and stuff have
been mostly rebuilt out of the stone from the mountain.
There's a few people here, definitely not as busy as the
Millennium Festival, but like, there's life, there's
liveliness. It's not just the elders.
There's a few other people who have like staying around
adventurers who are checking it out.
But Deoxys, Deoxys is in the bubble that was made by Toma
Tomas Altaria and it is fully reformed.
It is like sitting, like as if it's knees are perched up and
it's tentacles are wrapped around as if it looks bored.
And Walker says, now this is a difficult decision, but the
elders and I have been working on something.
And he pulls out like a mysterious looking homemade
pokeball of a sort. He says, I'm not sure if it's
the right thing to keep the Oxus here like this.
I think we might be in less danger if we were to let the
Oxus back into space. It's not going to challenge us
if the keeper gym doesn't flash again.
That being said, to remove the bubble, we're going to have to
attack it and we've created this ball to try and potentially
contain it. The Elders and I have discussed
and we think it's the best decision for us to capture it in
this ball and then eventually return it to space.
Would you help us win in that process?
Walker says. Very well if you would both help
me destroy this barrier that Toma Toma set up and he will
send out his scar. Marine, do you send out Quacko
and solely? Yeah, yeah.
OK Y'all will bash on the shield over and over and over again as
a gradually gradually has like 1000 HP more or less.
And it gradually deteriorates. And Deoxys lifts his head up and
kind of looks around curiously and begins to stand.
Schmidt, you've been given a mysterious pokeball.
You were going to need to throw it.
Please give make me a deck save or deck check and add
proficiency to it as well. Three.
That's a 10. OK.
I rolled the two. Oh, man.
OK, OK. You'll throw the ball and Deoxys
will swat it back at you. And it begins to rise.
And it seems that is beginning to charge a laser.
Walker says, oh, no, Did we not build the ball properly?
Schmidt, you have to try again. It seems that if you do not
catch it here, you may have to deal with a laser beam.
So please roll this mysterious Deoxys ball yet again.
OK, that's a lot better, Dirty 23.
OK, that will do it. That will do it.
A little scary, but Schmidt will throw this fully emerald colored
pokeball and it will capture Deoxys in a mysterious green
light and it doesn't shake or wiggle or anything.
It seems like it's designed specifically to trap Deoxys.
Walker, Your grandfather will say thank you for your help on
this. It's just a great relief just
not seeing that creature here anymore.
We think it's best for the balance of the world if it
returns to space. Until then, it's up to you and
what you want to do with it. And you have access to an
optional summon that is Deoxys Devastation as a summon action
unleashed Deoxys into the fray for three rounds.
Deoxys can fire 4 beams per round, dealing 8 D12 + 12
psychic damage per hit. It's up to you if you want to.
I'm guessing that's like not controlled.
No it's not. It's just random.
It will be full random. We'll build ourselves a bunker
and just fucking let them loose. Hey man, I've got my cabbage
shield. Yeah, it's.
What happened? Last but not least, Walker will
address both of you and ask if you have reached out slash been
in touch slash know about the state of the win straight family
because they are concerned about that situation.
You can either RP it or you can just say that you tell them
everything you know about Vince Winstroet and the unfortunate
situation that was the loss of his life at the first Deoxys
attack. Right.
Yeah, we'll just tell him, OK? You don't have to RP it.
He'll even show off pride. Oh, perfect.
That's what I was looking for. Yeah, I was hoping that you
would do that, Walker says. That is incredibly good of you.
You will note how well trained Pride seems to be, he's seen
quite a few Dragon Eye in his day and this one seems
particularly powerful. The Elders remaining elders will
gather and they will grant upon you a small chunk of meteor from
the meteor that brought to Deoxys and caused the
devastation. This you can use on the
battlefield and it will summon the dragon.
It's to call upon their Pokémon to barrage the battlefield with
enhanced Draco Meteors. Choose a 30 foot circle,
subjecting all creatures within to automatic 150 Dragon damage.
No safe, just 150 damage. Holy shit.
And Walker will and the elders will embrace you and have
cordial greetings for Cindy. And that's will be it.
Congratulations. What is next?
EDELBERG OK. Bowling time.
OK, the Quacko regroups and this
time Cindy and Gimli, I think for the first time, they haven't
done any of these together yet, decided to just check out
Pedalburg. They had a great time bowling
there and they just figured they should just see what's going on.
Just give it a whirl. The bowling alley seems to be
having some sort of event. Do you go to check it out?
Of course. OK, as expected, the same clerk
teenager from before Timothy is working the shoe counter.
He says oh hello Cindy, I didn't think I would see you again.
And he looks a little like shy and embarrassed.
Sorry I've been a little busy. Timothy says yeah, that's true.
Anyway, do you want to do some bowling?
Sure. Timothy says OK, it's just you
just do one lane and if you get a strike then you get a special
prize. And Timothy is clearly being
quite awkward. Do you both decide to do 1 bowl?
Absolutely. OK, we'll just we'll do some.
We'll just do D 20s. We can do athletics or you can
make a dex if you want. Gimli will have advantage
because of his background and just give me a roll.
The the need to get a strike is less because you are together
and you're also both trying as well.
So the DC is reduced and you have two tries.
So I'm looking for just ADC 16. I have a dirty 20.
Perfect. Gimli grabs the ball.
This one happens to be colored like a Voltorb, or maybe just a
pokey ball, but it has angry eyes on it, so it's like a
Voltorb throws it down the lane. The Latios and Latios pins go
everywhere. It's the cleanest bowl that
anyone in this event has ever seen, and Timothy is really
impressed. Just for fun, just for flavor.
Cindy, what did you roll? So 3 on the day.
OK, not very good. Straight into the gutter.
Yeah, she's straight into the gutter.
Benefit from from bumpers for sure, but Gimli's Gimli's got
it. So between Gimli's prowess with
the bowling ball and the the fact that Timothy is Sydney's
age and has a crush on her, he will say OK well you win the
special Greasy Timothy prize and you have access to all Greased
up. As a summon action, Greasy
Timothy and his Sligu will support the Packo in their final
battle. Choose up to 10 squares in the
battlefield to become permanently greasy.
Any Pokémon on the square at the time it is Gent Greased will
lose half of its movement speed and become weak to fire until
the end of these next turn. If a grounded creature enters A
greasy square, they must pass ADC 12 deck save or become
prone. Just grease up the battlefield.
That's fucking insane. That's so.
That's. Actually so funny.
I like how he knows that that's his reputation.
He's got a little Sligu. It's a.
Collar, Tim dude. And he's.
All nice, send out my gudra cookie.
Yeah, just have them interface. Yeah.
Yeah, roll a Charisma for Cookie.
Come on cookie, Be cool, be cool.
What is cookies? Charisma.
Not good. That's a six.
OK, and I mean, it's enough because they're the same
species. More than anything, Greasy
Timothy Sligu is more just entranced with the fact that
cookies seem so different. It's like, why am I not that
kind of sligu that I am from Holland?
But Greasy Timothy's gumi did not experience the ritual at
Fiery Path to become the Hawaiian Sligu, so it is
observing with fondness. Greasy, Timothy says.
Well, when you're all done saving the world and stuff,
maybe you can come do some bowling.
Yeah, I definitely do work on my bowling game.
Timothy says, well, I I could show you how to do a good throw.
He's all greasy, dude. He's his hair is all slicked
back after his. That's all natural too, no?
Problems Oh yeah no he he actually doesn't use product
like at all like he might use some slim and poo but he.
Might shower occasionally. Like on accident, he's like, how
do I get in here? But congratulations.
He just falls into the tub. Yeah, it's.
Crazy all greased up. You did it.
There you go, this is a good a good summon.
Do you think he likes? Do you think his mom just leaves
like a bath on when he gets home and banks on him slipping on his
own grease into the tub could? Be could be.
Pretty good. It's Mom's intuition right
there. Melissa's not having it.
She's having a tough. Time.
This is your love interest. It's pretty cool.
No, those are. Kind of meant to be like the
goudreous Lego thing. Like, it's kind of adorable.
He's the grease to your fire, Hon.
Oh grease fire. That's the couple name.
Oh Grease. Fire.
'S a ship now. Ship it, ship it, ship it, ship
it, ship it, ship it, right. Now.
Sunday. Sunday.
Oh my gosh. That.
Grease fire's so good. Well, we only have two more on
your list left. Should we just do them?
We only have Duford, yeah. I think it's just Duford Sue
topless. We didn't do Sutopolis.
You're don't. Miss Sutopolis, dog, I gotta
know. What's going on with Sutopolis?
OK, Elodie and Schmidt, this is perfect because it's, we just
did Cindy Gimley. They decide that place they
haven't been, that they're curious about is Sutopolis.
Maybe Schmidt, partially because like how it might be tied in
with like the history of the dragon as a suffer.
Or maybe not. Maybe just because he wants to
go. Elodie because she heard a rumor
that there's something significant about Pseudopolis
that relates back to her home country of Carlos.
They will fly in. Or I guess I'll ask, do you fly
or do you dive? To enter you have to pick one or
the other. I think we fly.
OK. Yeah, I think we fly.
OK, you'll fly in if you. Have like a deep set, need to
dive. It's just for flavor.
Do you both fly in your own Altaria?
I think that'd be sick. Yeah.
Yeah, OK, that's pretty cool. Yeah.
You'll fly down, you'll enter and you'll you'll see it's a
quite a quaint, unique town. It is truly just a crater, just
like there's it's an impact of a meteor from ages past and there
are houses built along inside the walls.
It gives you similar vibes. It's like the Meteor Falls
Dragon Village in the sense like they're making use of the
environment that was caused by a meteoric impact.
Hoen gets a lot of these for some reason.
And what's particularly calls out to Elodie is there's a
really well dressed looking guy standing in front of a just a
brilliant giant tree. And he has this air about him
that like gives her kind of all those vibes in the sense that
like, oh, like he's pretty fashionable and he's got got a
way about him and she feels compelled to talk to him.
Does she do so? Yeah, let's chat it up.
This man will see you approaching and he'll say, oh,
if it's not two members of the Quacko pack room, how does it go
for you? I'm feeling pretty good.
We're gathering some resources. He says yes, I guess I've I've
seen your feats. Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Wallace. I am the current gym leader of
this gym. But me and my friend Juan, we
often switch up responsibilities quite often as I'm a busy man.
What brings you to Scintopolis in particular?
What thinks that you might find something of use here?
Well, I'm from Carlos and I heard that the city might have
some connection to it. LED role a history or a
perception I'll. Do a history that's a 16.
Pretty good with Schmidt around. That's all you need, Wallace
will say. Yes, yes.
A few years back we were greeted.
We were given the gift of the great ancient King of Kalos.
You must know who he is. Of course.
OK, yes, the Paul divine thousands of years lived.
King AZ came by and he gave us this gift, this giant tree.
It was just a sapling, but the crew incredibly quickly and it
has sprouted all these unusual flowers.
He picks one up and shows it to you.
It looks very familiar. This is the flower, same kind of
flower that you were given at the flower shop north of
Petalburg. You have one in your bag.
Do you produce it? Yes, I will.
OK, He will look at it and say, Oh well that's that's a unique
specimen. Where did you find this?
Flower shop near Petalburg and. He says wow, the coloring on it
is truly something spectacular and hands it back to you.
Do you receive it? Yes.
OK, as you take it back into your hand, there's a strange
glowing from within the tree way up on the top branches.
There's like a little spotlight that Bing like Dean's on the
flower that you have. And descending from the
spotlight is a very unique strange looking fairy type.
Pokémon is vaguely humanoid in shape but with unusual legs and
it just slowly descends. You get the feeling that this is
a fairy type. It is descending from this tree
and is coming to reach out specifically for your flower.
Do you give it to it? Yes.
OK, this unique looking floet will receive the flower and will
be overjoyed. It will float over to Elodie and
it will give her a little kiss on the head and then it will fly
back up into the tree, seemingly to disappear forever, Wallace
says. Wow, that was an unusual looking
floet. What do you think about that?
I have a feeling that maybe that was a ZS or perhaps the spirit
of it. Wallace says yes, that's very
unusual. I've heard legends of a float
that was in proximity to the ultimate weapon and calls those
ancient days and was able to use a phenomenon known as Infinity
energy to produce an incredible attack.
Do you remember what the name of that attack is?
Of the attack itself. Yeah, just guess Schmidt knows
what. Say it.
Light of ruin. Light of Ruin Wallace would be
like yes that's exactly what I was thinking of.
Well either way I hope you find what you're looking for.
I bid you with you and Wallace will begin to depart LED after
perhaps interfacing with cabbage after it.
AZS Fluet smooch can replace dazzling Gleam with Light of
Ruin. Damage increase will be up to 88
+ 8 and will actually deal damage on a pass save and the
range will increase as well. She can also use it to use Light
of Respite in alpha, which can heal instead of deal damage.
Sick. Holy shit.
It's about time Dazzling Glean got an upgrade because not
dealing damage on a pass save just sucks.
So light of Ruin, congratulations.
Sick. I'm so excited.
Crazy. Any more stops that you'd like
to visit and in what combinations is also my
question. I think we were talking about
mount pyre and then maybe doing something else at the same time
so we can do pairs question mark.
Because I just feel like cost effective wise it makes sense.
Yeah, like we, I think we decided pairs minimum and then.
So I think we have, we've got Pedalburg, Forest, Rustboro,
Marvel, and then the two routes above a Lily Cove too.
That could be interesting. What do you think?
Does anyone have an opinion? Oh, is it?
Pablo. Pablo.
Right there in the Lily Cove. That could be cute.
What do we think? Mount Power and Pablo.
Also there's. Different.
Oh, true. What else is there?
They like each have a list of how many things we can get at
each location. So let me look.
What is Lily Go? Lily Go has two things.
Mount Power has one. How are we going to split up?
Good question. Who wants to go where?
Does anybody have an opinion? I have none.
Like I know I was interested to see what happens at Mount Pyre.
I don't care if I go, I just want to like be Privy to what
happens there do. You want to do mount Pyre?
Sure, let's do it. Excellent.
Cindy and Elodie will band together and take a quick trip
to the southwest of Lily Cove and visit Mount Pyre, A historic
Honian location which is the Hoenn equivalent of the Pokémon
Tower in Lavender Town in Canto. It is where many Pokémon of many
different walks of life are laid to rest.
It is a very holy and revered kind of location.
It is more than a mass cemetery. There's a lot of culture
surrounding this area, lots of stories and mythos surrounding
the ghost type influence present here at Mount Pyre.
Y'all have to. There's no clear entrance.
It seems like fairy is the main way that people will get to the
entrance on the South side of the mountain.
You are more than welcome to also fly or use water type
Pokémon to access the entrance. What is your choice?
You want to fly on my emotional supports elements?
Sure. Excellent, you do.
So you hop on, feign the emotional supports elements and
he effortlessly glides you over to the entrance of Mount of
Fire. You can walk immediately inside
a building of some sort, not necessarily reception area, but
there are folks who are tending the graves and as well as some
mourners out and about. They don't pay you much mind.
It seems that there is some sort of affair happening up the
stairs, some sort of private funeral situation.
But there's also a path that leads outside, more directly
towards the top of the mountain that looks quite interesting.
Do you decide to go to the top of the mountain or do you press
forward into the private funeral?
Is there any way to like tell like what who the funeral is
for? Sure you can from outside roll a
insight or actually insight or investigation or perception.
They can all work. I'll do an investigation 18. 18
is quite high. This is a family gathering,
grieving a Pokémon of which you don't know the exact species,
but you can tell based on like the imagery that's present and
just your familiarity with this world is that it's some sort of
canine Pokémon, very sad. And they're having a sort of
some sort of ceremonial ritual forge that seems to be more or
less private. We.
Should probably go up the mountain then.
Yeah, I don't think we know who this is.
OK, you take this little outdoor path and you are greeted by a
dense fog. There are lots of Pokémon that
are paying you some attention, but they are not necessarily
seeking to engage with you. You see none other than a group
of Vulpix actually very familiar to Cindy.
You see various what you could imagine be ghost types as they
kind of phase in and out of existence and you hear the
ringing of bells as you look around and you notice Chingling
and Chimeco flitting about. Seems to be a place that they
enjoy spending their time and their bells grant kind of a
peaceful ambience to the restful spirit burial area.
You make your up the mountain and you see at the top there's
some sort of altar, some sort of pillar, and there is a figure
standing there who is wearing a floral, almost Hawaiian looking
dress and she seems to be tending to the space.
Do you want to go speak with her?
Sure. Why not?
This woman recognizes as you walk up and she says, well, I'll
be if it isn't Cindy and Ellie from the Quacko Packo, what
brings you to Mount Pyre? I think a while ago.
We made some ghost friends. Yeah, we made some ghost friends
and they said there was a situation happening over here on
Mount Pyre. Ah, you say ghost friend and you
hear behind you a series of zaps of and coming from the shadows
is a Rotom, however not in the same kind of mechanical form
that you witnessed a new model, but in its base kind of spark
plug looking form. This woman who eventually
introduces herself as elite for Phoebe will say, Oh yes, Rotom
here told me all about it. What brings you here?
You just want to check in on them.
Yeah, I think so. Rotom is zipping and zapping
around with a big smile on its face, and it seems pretty happy
to see the two of you. It is feeling inquisitive about
your presence and I will ask one of you to make a charisma check.
I can do that if you. Christmas higher than mine.
Probably 16. Excellent, that is high enough
with the presence of both of you, Rotom is picking up what
you're putting down. Remembers that thanks to your
efforts, you helped the ghost type Pokémon in a backwards kind
of roundabout way. Not directly, but you assisted
them in their escape from Mount Pyre.
You didn't like have them leave new model where they made their
new home temporarily while Mount Pyre was being ransacked by team
NRG. Rotom like goes to the top of
the mountain and stands upon the altar or hovers there and lets
out a electric bolt that shakes all the way down and trickles
down towards the bottom of the mountain.
And shortly after you witness just hordes and hordes of
shadows emerging from all around you and rising up to circle
around Rotom. And there you see a host of
different ghost type Pokémon. You witness a mysterievous, a
Dust Clops and a Dust Noir. Several Duskal, Gengar, Hunter
Ghastly, all of the commonplace ghost type Pokémon that you are
used to seeing have come to circle Rotom and meet your eyes.
It seems that Rotom has agreed to help you in your final
battle. You gain access to Pyre's
Darkness as a summit action. The remaining denizens of Mount
Pyre call forth a shroud of impossible darkness within a
selected 30 foot circle. Ally and hostile creatures
within are blinded and cannot be targeted by direct attacks and
make AOE safes with advantage. Congratulations.
Sick, we got darkness. Pretty fun.
It could be used offensively and defensively, perhaps.
What's next for the Packo? Where's the other place you
wanted to go? Did we have Lily?
Cove. Yeah, we were suggesting Lily
Cove because there's two things there.
Schmidt and Elodie decided it's time to return to Lily Cove
City, a place they have not been since they first met.
It is a beautiful evening. There's some some clouds in the
sky and the sea breeze gives you a sense of salty nostalgia as
you breathe it in. The town is definitely a little
bit different than when you last saw it.
Perhaps it's just the change in season.
Less activity compared to the summer festival of course, but
still a reasonably busy city. There are two attractions that
kind of catch your eye. One, there is a booth set up
outside of the Lily Cove department store, with a vaguely
familiar human and mouse like Pokémon creature residing at the
booth trying to sell something. Additionally, I would like a
perception check from one of you.
You can do it if you want. All righty, you know how we're
famous for this shit, right? Yeah, that's a four.
Very good classic packo. Yeah, you swear for a second
that you see a sign that has a far fetched on it, but you just
it passes out of your vision and you don't exactly recall where
it came from. So maybe you go to this booth
1st and see what's going on there.
You arrive outside the Little Cove City department store and
who do you see? None other than Kay and he is
running Kmart in a more casual way.
Not the same, you know, summer festival offerings being made.
However, him and Pablo the Picchu are there and they
instantly recognize you. Kay makes a comment he he
welcomes you first, and then he notes how both of you look like
you've changed quite a bit since the last time he saw you, and he
asks how you've been doing. Yo, it's Kay and Pablo.
As a response to how you're doing, yeah.
That's that's it. That's what I have to say.
Awesome. Yeah, we've, we've been all
right. We've been around.
We've met a lot of your cousins. The cousins confirmed.
Friends, enemies, lovers. OK, we'll say, yeah, You know,
we've got a large family. I heard a couple of stories
about my family members meeting some unusual trainers.
Could you tell me about your experiences with them and maybe
I can narrow down which ones you were interacting with?
So true. We met one that had.
Oh my God, I can't remember any. Other players there's Fremart.
Yeah, the Palmont, Yeah, OK, Palmont, There's Graymart.
Yeah, the e-mail one. Yeah, forget what he had.
I mean like you. Mimic you.
That's right. For sure.
For sure, yeah. Did we run into a more pekka
one? Did I dream that?
Are you sure it was Graymart? Just throwing that out there.
Was it slamart it? Was Slamart, Yeah.
I was about to call. I was like, did we?
I was like, we had to have encountered A Slamart because
that's too good to not. There was Braemart.
OK, go on like. The mud Brae with the mud Brae.
Oh, there was. Braemart 2 where we had to
fight. Oh, true, true.
And what was that? The Palmart 1I.
Think that might have been the Palmart one, yeah.
It was Kay would like to hear one more story.
Can you recall any singular other interaction with an A Mart
member? The guy with the cowboy hat with
the Pikachu. Claymart No.
Was that was that Braemart? No, Braemart had the Mudbray.
Did he also have a Pikachu? Was there another one with the
Pikachu? I think there was one with the
Tog de Mario. I don't remember his name
though. It's tricky.
Both. It did, Danny.
Can anyone tell me what Pokémon was present in Four Tree City?
That was the the second one, yes.
I don't think I know it. Is why do I feel like it was?
Why do I feel like it was so lost dude?
It is Hoenn native. I'll give you a 5050.
Oh OK. Oh shoot, I think it was a
minan. I was about to say I'm a I'm
feeling a minan. The name of the episode where
you met it was in fact the Minan, the Witch and the
Wardrobe. So.
It is What was the name of the episode You.
Know it's. Called.
That that's crazy. With.
The adequate amount of stories of like vaguely remembering some
of his family and what they were like.
Kay Kay says, wow, you've come so far.
You've really traveled all over Ho and I rarely find time myself
to travel like that anymore. Listen, I've I've been seeing
you guys in the especially the citizens of Lilico have really
been talking about you all and I'd like to offer you and my
family's help if you have any more final encounters in saving
the world. What you say?
That would be so awesome. You gain access to Kmart.
All of the K family unites to help the Krakopako in their
final battle. As a summon action, choose a
total of 9 trainers or creatures to lose all movement speed until
the users next turn an initiative.
Thank you, K Family. They just they just grapple
people. We just show up and hug them.
I love that. I guess maybe it's probably it's
probably more of a paralysis thing.
Yeah, that actually makes more sense.
Yeah, that makes sense. They're just tackling people.
Yeah, they're physically tackling people is pretty sick.
There could have been more free visuals.
But yes, yes, yes, yes. Kay will make a little bit of
small talk, he'll say. So did you come to Lily Cove
just to see me or what brought you here?
Yeah, I mean, I came here just to see you, that's all.
That's all I really needed. We had two dots on a map that we
needed to check out so. Kay will say, well, you probably
already know this, but you, you know that you got a lot of fans
here in Lily Cove, right? Do we?
Oh, really? I didn't think we had fans at
all. He says, yeah, I mean, this is
all kind of their central location.
If you haven't ever paid them a visit, it might be time to go
down to the Quacko Packo fan club.
Yo Quacko. Quacko fan club.
Quacko fan club.
And you can see just down the hill, like down the stairs from
the Lily Cove department store, you do in fact confirm that the
giant far fetched sign you saw is part of a sign on top of a
like a quaint building. Looks like just a repurposed
house basically that says QPFC and it's got a picture of
Quacko. I'm scared actually.
We have to pay them a visit, yeah.
But I'm scared. They'll love us.
Right, that's the problem. Schmidt's remembering the the
Alteria plushies from the Fan Children.
Oh shit, I still have a handful of those.
I have 8:00. I have 8 of them.
Obviously give them to the fans down.
The Hill What is your decision? I think we should go.
It could be just Ality if if Schmidt doesn't want to risk it.
No, Schmidt will do it, OK. You approach this building and
you hear the sound of just a whole bunch of hubbub and like
discussion and commotion happening inside.
If you peeked through the window you would see like a couple TV's
are on. You see people sitting around a
table. It seems fairly busy in there.
Do you knock on the door or do you just enter?
They're probably busy, we don't need to bother them.
No, I we should just go in like I think they would.
They'd be happy to see us. To to maybe just like leave a
note, be like, hey, you can. Just go I'm.
Just going to open the door. Open the door.
Ellie enters. What does she see?
She sees what is truly like every purposed house, maybe like
a multi purpose room kind of thought behind it, but it's more
or less just like a living room. And perhaps they tore down walls
from bedrooms just to make one big expanded space.
There's a kitchen as well, and there's a number of people
hanging around. You approximate probably about
18 individuals. They look to be of all different
backgrounds, all different sources of income, all different
ages, a real diverse host of people hanging around doing
stuff. You see a table where a child
and an old man have coloring pages printed out, and you can
see cabbage like a coloring page as well as a fame coloring page.
Like really distinctly. These are your Pokémon without a
doubt. And there's a bunch of crayons
out and they're scribbling and doodling.
You see a high table, like a billiards type table and you see
people with little miniature figures and like pieces of paper
string about and like a map and they are playing a role-playing
game using the characters from the Quacko Paco.
They're screaming and shouting, having a great time and rolling
dice and just truly thriving. There's a corner of 6 or so
people on a couch and they're watching ATV and they're
watching highlights of news, captured footage of Quacko Paco
battles Schmidt. You see yourself riding on
Patricia as they are rewinding and replaying the security
footage of your break in at the Self Company building.
In fact, as you enter, none of them notice that you 2 are here
because they are all so engrossed in their Quacko Packo
fandom activities. Do you announce your presence or
say anything going on here? This is so funny.
This is literally so meta I love it.
I feel like I'm just in shock. I'm just like, what is going on
here? Schmidt is in fear.
Very good. You can see people's completed
art hanging up on the walls, various Pokémon and people.
You can see in the kitchen someone is preparing food, it
smells like pizza in here and they are cosplaying as Elodie in
her original outfit. There is a lot of just people
doing various activities that are enshrining the Packo, and
I'm going to roll to see if any of them notice you.
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's just a 20.
Yeah. In.
In one moment. Detecting Schmidt's fear, all of
the Crack O Paco fans turned their attention immediately at
the door. And they all stand up and go woo
Hoo, and they're all very excited.
And they slowly, like, some of them cautiously, some of them
rush over to the two of you and start like, hammering you with
questions, what's going on? How'd you get here?
Like, did you defeat Kyogre, The what's your next mission,
etcetera. Would like you take autographs,
blah, blah, blah. They're clamoring for two things
in particular, the first of which is that they want Elodie
to say something inspirational. I know just what to say, what
will. You're never too old.
You're never too old to be an adventurer.
Everyone loses their shit. They go, she's at the line.
She's at the line. The the person in the kitchen
who is making the pizzas looks very embarrassed.
And she starts stripping off parts of her cosplay so that she
looks less like Elody. Because now that you're here,
she's like, Oh my goodness, Schmidt, you are approached by
the child doing the coloring pages.
And he turns over his sketch of Quacko, and he hands you a
crayon and he asks for your signature.
Do you give it to him? Yeah, sure.
OK, you sign his little colored picture of Quacko.
It's distinctly Quacko and not necessarily a far fetch.
You just like recognize it. It's been vectored onto just
like. So it's just the outlines and
he's been coloring it in with color.
He's there some creative liberties.
There's some brown on the feathers that go outside the
lines. But he's also made the leak like
a brilliant pink purple just for fun, because, you know, why not
everyone? Everyone is so elated to have
you visit and you just feel an overwhelming sense of what it's
like to be adored by regular people for being heroes.
And that fills you with determination.
And you gain the Quacko Paco Fan Club bonus, which is the
adoration of the eccentric Quackies fill the Paco with
determination, granting the ability to replace any attack
roll or single enemy saving throw with a critical hit, one
use for each trainer. It's like a, it's like a port
and dice kind of vibe. Yo, that's sick.
Not the quackies. It's the quackies.
But Quacky sounds like an reward show, yeah?
You can RP staying there for as long or as short as you like,
but that is your bonus for giving a charismatic speech and
for signing the quacko picture. I think if I can, I'll bring
some coloring pages back for Cindy and the Emily.
Perfect. They have all of the bonds as
well as all the trainers. Which ones do you select?
Definitely a solely and a Trevor.
I'll grab. I'll grab a Fang and who do I
want Else do I want to grab for Gimli?
Have a lasagna. That's excellent.
Yeah. Very good.
Yeah. They happily give those away.
And of course, they ask for some more autographs and just general
check insurance. And they want to show you their
fan art and all that great stuff.
And after some time passes, it's getting late in the Lee Cove,
and they understand that if you have to get back to being a
hero, they will let you go and that they will continue
supporting you from here in the Lee Cove city.
Amazing. I guess there's just one more on
your list. You are welcome to as a whole
group, go to do for town. If you saw my notes, that means
you guys are just going to get the shit.
There's no roles. So you guys ready?
Yeah. Sure, OK.
First and foremost, as you all gather and Moss have to prepare
to go to Duford, Jim Lee will come speak to his father and
he'll say I'd love to go with you.
Is it all right if I come with you guys to go to do for town?
Yeah, I was going to come pull you to come with us in the first
place. And Gimli says awesome, thanks
Dad. And you all head over to do for
town is your first order of business getting Gimli's
belongings. Yeah, you will head over to
Granite Cave, which now has the top blown off thanks to the NRG
attack. It is kind of just a bowl.
It is almost vaguely. Solid the Granite Bowl.
Yeah, it's almost like a wide pseudopolis.
Almost like a shallow wide pseudopolis.
You all go as a group. There's a lot of power emanating
from the five of you. Gimli and the Klako Packo just
are very notable trainers do for it is like full of Corsola.
They're still here and it seems that some of the buildings are
also being rebuilt with shed Corsola spikes as well.
So like, you'll see like, an archway from a door that's all
pink and made, of course, the coral.
Everyone's kind of like using the course.
And they're living here harmoniously, too.
It seems that they've spread from Pacific Log now and also
live here. And people love hanging out with
them. Pretty neat.
As you go to Granite Cave, you see that it's just kind of like,
yeah, it's been exploded. And Jimmy thinks, man, how are
we ever going to get my stuff back?
Who knows if it's even in there? And I normally would make you do
a role, but you're all here. So Gimli, you will observe that
as you approach Granite Cave, you are met by a vaguely
familiar friend who only you will remember A a large nose
looking rock guy. Probopass will emerge from the
entrance to The Cave, followed by several nose pass who are
waddling behind. And Probopass is holding up
Gimli's back as if no one thought he would return.
And so Probopass will hand it to you, and I'm assuming that you
hand it to Gimli, correct? Absolutely.
OK, as a summon action, you get Gimli, he gets all this Pokémon
back. There's, I don't know, there's a
Stelix, there's an Oma Star, there's some other stuff, but of
course his golem as well. Gimli is very grateful.
Additionally, the Probopass will give you all of you, a look of
endearment, a look of gratitude, and I would normally make you
roll to determine what it means. But they are grateful that the
group of you dealt with their Haxorus problem.
None of you really know this besides Gimli, but the Haxorus
that you fought with pink blades, half pink blades because
they were eating the iron noses of the probopass and nose pass.
It was terrorizing them. They were trying to share The
Cave because you defeated the hackers.
They are so very happy. I'm not sure how to flavor.
This is like a consumable item, but you may remember.
We eat the noses. Maybe, maybe they can give you a
tiny nose that you can just eat. These guys, they'll give you,
they're gonna give you some sort of magnetic rock that's like
pink. And if you remember that your
first encounter with a nose pass was a very peculiar one in
Meteor Falls, well, these guys will use their magnetic powers
to bring that probopass who's been circled in the planet at
high velocities endlessly that you can call upon and target a
specific creature. And Oh my God, Probopass Rd.
Strike bro. You can.
We're going. To turn into a jet and bomb the
Russians. Oh my God, Probopass turns into
a jet Bob. This is crazy.
They will use their medic. Flies out for two.
Space direct to the nose to just remove one target that is not
gargantuan. Just get them.
They're just gone. Dude, I'm going to nuke Rata
with a probopass. It's going to be so funny.
I'll be dead. He's not making it at the book.
Club. He knows your name.
Eyes. Yeah, He's on Rata.
Yeah, I. Lock eyes with Rata and then a
fucking nose from the sky just nukes the shit out of him.
He's done, so he's cooked. A single target removal thanks
to the flying nose. Congratulations.
So dead. Through this a couple things.
One, as you all came in, you noticed that a familiar vessel
is stationed in the harbor, just not other than Deez Nuts.
Do you go take a look at Deez Nuts?
Yes. Simply masked.
Keep that in. It's a requirement got him.
It seems that these nuts has been pretty generously repaired.
It's pretty clear where the repairs happened.
It's with a completely different type of wood.
It's like a 50% ship of Theseus at this point, but it's in
working condition. Emerging from the harbour is
none other than everyone's favorite cop, Brandon.
He has returned to do for town along with the and he sees the
group of you and he gives you all the greeting.
He nods and waves and tries not to give any particular attention
to Elodie. He will say, sure, yeah, I, I
try my best to clean up these nuts.
I can't say that without laughing.
He says, yeah, these nuts should be all fixed up for you.
She's totally seaworthy. Not sure what the deal with the
rental is, if you're going to make that back.
But thank you for everything and I I hope that you enjoy these
nuts. Got them.
We will, I think we will enjoy these nuts.
Some more than others. Additionally, he will give
Elodie a little like a single button radio that doesn't even
have a talk piece or anything. It's like a black box with an
antenna and a red button. That's all it is.
And he says listen, if you are in a tough situation, you need
the help of the DPD again. We got your back and you will.
He will allow you to summon do for police operations.
As a summon action. Brandon, his Mccargo and the DPD
Samurott come to the aid of the Packo, choose a Pokémon and
reduce their AC by 10. The flavour is that Samurott is
slashing them and Mccargo is blasting them with fire.
So we have a 1-2 punch guys, we nuke Rata and then arrest the
rest of them. It's an easy fight.
Summon the police. Yeah.
We're calling the cops, Brandon. Just give, just give you her
like, just give his number. Like why does he need the radio?
This. Is have a phone, Yeah.
This is the poker Pokémon world. Phones are hard to come by.
Which is so crazy like we can't figure this out in one piece.
They use fucking snails for Christ's sake.
Like we can figure. Something out?
Yeah. This is like a single target,
make them easy to hit kind of vibe.
So nice there. Holocaust.
You go any other for fun flavor things for do fruit.
Again, no rolls here because you guys went as a whole group, so
you just get everything. Yes, we just take these nuts
back. Oh, you want to return these
nuts? Yeah, everyone on board.
Literally. Let's do.
It. OK, finally, yeah, Y'all get on
Deez Nuts and you cruise to the north.
It's not super long of a well, we, it was long when we did it.
We'll just say that, you know, we're skipping travel time.
You rough through the season, you get you make your way there
and you find yourself back near Petalburg at the boat rental
place. Y'all go in and try and return
Deez Nuts. Yeah.
Yes, yeah, OK. The same woman who was there
before, Miss Briny is there, and she'll see the lot of you and
she'll say, oh, you guys know you're late, right?
We we got a little caught up on things.
I don't know if you've heard. So cross her arms and she'll say
I don't know, I'll need at least one of you to make some sort of
charisma check to convince her that you haven't been negligent.
No, like girly, you don't have ATV, you just sit there.
We did like save, you know, Dewford and Moss Deep.
Catch her a little late. You can roll a charisma LED
I'll. Do it.
I think LED has the best charisma.
Yeah, Max risk. 0 Yep 14. She will let out a chuckle.
She'll say I'm just kidding. I've seen everything you guys
are doing. Listen, I can tell that these
nuts has been through a lot. If you need to keep using her
for a while, that's totally fine by me.
You just pay the normal rental fee.
Not giving you these nuts for free though.
Sure, keep that up. So I guess this is a boon I
didn't necessarily anticipate, but you just can use these nuts
if you want. I use them, don't worry.
I will use them. No, we'll make good use of them.
So she's still expecting when you're done with these nuts to
pay the fee, which it was like 2000 or something.
I forget what it was. I'll have to go back and listen.
We. We'll figure it out.
We certainly have the money. Yeah, we get a presidential
pardon for these nuts. Yeah, I have.
I have plenty. Hello and thank you for
listening to the latest episode of Duns Parson Grandpa and
welcome to what will be the new record for the longest outro
read so far. I'd like to start in the usual
fashion by shouting out to our latest Patreon supporters being
Hobo, Dragon's Lodge, Big Bad, Beetleborg, Shadow MP5, Trash
Can Fireworks and Not Hairy. It is only thanks to our beloved
listeners such as yourself and the incredible generosity of our
patrons that we have been able to play this game and upload
this podcast for four years now. Thank you all so much.
First off, yes, it is true. The players and I have recorded
the final episode and it's a doozy.
Before any editing or other adjustments, it's 24 hour parts
for a total of 8 hours of recording that our cherished
editor Kira has already begun parsing through.
As much as I'd like to commit to our every other week upload
schedule, this recording is truly monstrous and we will
likely need additional time to get everything just perfect.
We do intend to release it in two parts, so we will be sure
that the first trunk is released as soon as it's ready.
So while I can't give an exact date for the release at this
time, I do promise you it will be uploaded as soon as it's
ready. If you absolutely truly cannot
wait to hear how the story ends and don't mind a lower fidelity
experience, our third tier Patron supporters are able and
have already started to listen to the raw audio files.
If that is something that you could see yourself doing, then
you can consider becoming a patron on our Patreon page.
Even outside of the highest tier of patronage, now is a great
time to become a Patreon supporter as there has never
been more content to catch up on while we wait for the finale.
Tier 2 patrons gain access to my DM chats where I'll ramble about
game mechanics or various prep thoughts, and all tiers gain
access to the post show discussions that occur after
every group episode where the players and I often just riff
and digest the happenings of the session that we just recorded.
Speaking of content, we have been receiving questions
regarding the fate of the podcast after this final
two-part episode. To answer, we have to please ask
one more time for your patience, as we promised to make clear the
future of Done, Sparse and Grandpa by the end of the final
episode. Thank you so much for your
understanding. Additionally, 4/5 of our group
recently sat down with an independent Pokémon podcaster,
Terminal Creative, where the host, Glenn asked us some
incredibly insightful questions about the Quacko, Paco, and the
podcast in general. We had such a great time
chatting, and we strongly encourage everyone listening
right now to go check out that interview.
It was a ton of fun to record and will serve as even more
exclusive Quacko Packo content while we wait for the final part
of the story to finish cooking. It will be releasing on a
Terminal creative channel on May 7th, and a link to that Channel
is in the description of this episode.
As always, I'd like to plug our Discord server, the Cali Rex
Game Corner. I'm super active in there
myself, and there's nothing like celebrating the show with a
bunch of fans who are equally, if not more invested in the Paco
as I am. If you haven't joined the free
Discord server already, myself and hundreds of other listeners
would love to chat with you in there.
Finally, the last update that we have is that we have in fact
launched an Instagram profile. If you're on that platform,
please give us a follow. Additionally, we intend to share
the beautiful fan art that we've received over the years on that
platform. If you've made fan art or would
like to in the future, please reach out to us if you would
like us to repost your fan art, and we would love to do so.
Fan art is unironically our favorite part of this podcast,
and even if you don't create it yourself, I'd urge you to take a
look at some of the pieces that the fans have created because
they are truly exceptional. The links to our new Instagram,
CGC, Discord at Patreon, and all of our other online are all on
our link tree at LANK TR EE Dunsarce.
Thank you all for your incredible support and we will
see you soon for the first part of the final episode.
