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. It is a beautiful afternoon in
Moss Deep City. While the Paco recently spent
quite a bit of time on a Hohen Island town similar to Moss
Deep, Moss Deep feels quite a bit foreign compared to Duford.
It is far more industrialized and has more of a cosmopolitan
feel than the salt of the earth culture.
In Duford town, the sun is high in the sky and the rays are
incredibly warming despite it being well into the fall.
In this hemisphere of the Pokémon world, the island energy
is very relaxed, which is no doubt proliferated from a
tourism culture. People are lounging around
shopping and spending quality time with their families,
friends, partners, and Pokémon. Palm trees sway in a gentle
salty wind as waves lap against the western beaches and the
eastern rocky cliffs. There's a small crowd gathering
on a hill to the South with pleasant wooded shade to enjoy
their lunches away from the sandy beaches.
Let's start by checking in with Cindy and Gimli following their
successful Gym challenge, enjoying their afternoon on the
beach. Wingle are squawking overhead as
they elegantly hover on the breeze, and various species of
wild seaside and ocean Pokémon are engaging each other in
various ways in the tide. How are Cindy and Gimli enjoying
their time? I'm doing the the very dad thing
of like, you're just building a sandcastle as efficiently as
possible and there's nothing else that could stop you.
Land in the sand. Sandcastle time.
There's just. No, Yeah, yeah, the switch is
turned on like you start digging a hole immediately.
Yeah, start creating that sandcastle.
Perfect. Do you have anyone helping you
out? Yeah, I think I would have.
I would bust out like I would definitely have like my whole
squad just out that we're all building a sandcastle together.
You can have up to six now, so would you please name the six
who are helping you build a? Sandcastle Oh my God.
So this is quite the ecliptic group of people, but I got
Trevor. Bean, bean the beach.
Oh no. That's a monstrosity, but he's
just enjoying himself. Like you.
No expression, but he's definitely just like alpha with
the whole process. Lasagna, bud.
Is that on the beach I got? Too.
Fuck yeah. Yeah, Hell yeah.
Hilarious. He's just.
Helping me out and I guess I got a six.
So who we who do we have out now?
Let's let's bring Gus. Sure, why not?
We love Gus. Gus the Slowpoke.
He's. Just taking his time.
Yeah, that's fantastic. Now, very eclectic group of
monsters assisting Ghibli. Onlookers who spend too much
time looking might be surprised and or frightened and or
experience a whole array of emotions.
But Needless to say, with all these powerful rock types and a
talkative bud and an enthusiastic slowpoke, Gimley
will build an extraordinary sandcastle.
Trevor and Rodger, the Reggie rock, are particularly skilled
in this craft. This is like they are elementals
of this element, so they can help you make the most grandiose
castle that you could possibly want.
It would be fun if you rolled just add like a 12 to it because
you're going to get helped out a lot and also add, fuck it, we'll
just say your strength. So give me a strength check.
Plus 12, So strength plus 12 gives me 31.
Yeah, OK, that checks out. Yeah, it's phenomenal.
It's going to take some time and we'll check in with Cindy, but
it is like a sand Chateau. It's got like working water
systems and everything is like a mountain.
Yeah, I did all the piping myself.
It's really a work of art, honestly.
Cindy, I want to check in with you.
What is your beach activity? Cindy being the unhinged fire
chaotic child she is, is with all of her Pokémon are the six
that she can have out is like running in and out with like the
waves of the water, like the birds that like run away from
the water coming in like standing on the wet sand that if
the water starts coming it's like Oh no run away, run away.
Just doing that with the Wingle. Yeah, perfect with all my
Pokémon which. Would.
Be. Yeah.
List them off please. Solely Jack Fang, Cookie Larva
Star Basket, Izzy's in the box. Izzy's in the box.
And I do have Trebush, so Trebush might be out with us as
well. Oh, you're going to Trebush is
like a Yeah, why not? He will have to make his classic
con save. Let me do that.
DC 20. I don't think his con's very
high. The 19 on the die.
Oh great, he can stifle back his vomit this time.
He's still very stinky, but no immediate barf.
Something about the sea breeze helps you kind of quell the
nausea a bit. And he is pleased to be joining
a very powerful looking 9 tails. The new monster that is Fame,
the Salamans, mighty quadrupedal dragon with giant Red Wings.
Quite intimidating presence to be out on the beach basket.
Kind of the Just the minecart full of coals and Fame.
The bipedal tiger, the incinerator.
I might have missed Jack. Yeah, I said fame.
Sorry, Jack. Jack is the BIP.
And larva star. The larva star.
Yeah, Larva Star is probably the one who is the worst at this
little game because they got tiny little insect legs and
they're already all low to the ground.
Maybe they're riding on Fang? There we go.
That's cute, yes. Or in on basket.
Let it be known that when Jack, let alone Fame enter the beach,
the Wingle are done. They're like, Nope, I'm going to
look for fish somewhere else. I'm not going to compete with
these guys. And you guys have a little good
little time just dipping around on the waves.
I will have you make a good old classic perception check please
Cindy. We're famously good at these.
Not one baby. Yeah, baby, gotta love
consistency. Famously.
About cool, no additional notes. Cindy, you're having a great.
Time. Hell yeah.
There is a moment where like you kick up some sand and it blows
into your face and you, all of your senses are completely
destabilized for like a solid 30 seconds.
You're like, and you like can't smell, you can't hear, you can't
see. And like, it's all, it's all in
your mouth and it feels awful and you're like, no, no, I've
been cursed. But eventually you get all.
The sand out. Yeah, so Gimli made a fantastic,
amazing sandcastle with the help of the one legendary Pokémon
that might be able to help him the most with that task.
And then Cindy is having some fun on the waves.
Now let's probably check in with the other two, Schmidt and
Elodie. Following your gym challenge,
you identified a Mr. Mimosas franchise not far from the
Scientific District. You approached the bar as a
recent Mos Deep City Jim Victor and noticed none other than your
favorite formerly evil power couple, Archibald and
Maximilian, seemingly on vacation.
Archie is dressed in aquatic apparel very much like Schmidt's
scuba suit. However, Archie's is much more
tight and it's resisting against his rippling muscles.
Overall blue with accents of white.
He has also a gold snorkel hanging around his neck and he's
wearing flippers on his feet. Maxi has managed to make himself
comfortable comfortable for vacation by identifying the only
long sleeved Hawaiian shirt in existence, red with black and
white floral patterns, and his khaki pants appear to be the
long legged version of cargo shorts with pockets that are
bursting full of trinkets that he believes may prove useful at
some point. Archie immediately recognizes
the two of you and says well kill all it all, I'll be running
into those two blasted Quacko Paco out of Mr. Mimo says yet
again, and he goes in for a handshake for each of you.
Do you shake his hand? I'm going to pull the move into
a hug. Oh, you're going to do the the
power move, but bring it to a hug?
Yeah. Sure.
Yeah, yeah. Just.
Throw AD 20 at that. Yeah. 19 respectful step back
while this is going to do. OK, sure.
Archie got an 18 on his D20, so it's like, yeah, he's like
surprised. He's like, yeah, we're we're
tight. Like it's, yeah.
So cool, yeah. He he at least from the hug, and
he Pats you on the shoulder and he says, I'm gonna call you my
niece now, OK. And then he goes to A to to
shake Schmidt's hand. Do you shake his hand back?
Yeah, Schmidt will do like a dainty kind of little, not
exactly limp hand, but like, not like he's not going to match his
grip for sure. OK, cool.
Just D20 that just for fun. 18. Nice, OK, also very good role or
she just seems really pleased to be seeing the two of you.
He's maybe had something to drink, but and he's definitely a
social guy, but he just he likes you guys a lot.
What can be said? That's kind of just the truth of
it all. Now asked me to make a
perception check. Hold on, what?
What are you trying to do something?
Do you need something to do? No, I just want to.
I had a high role. I felt like I needed to get a
roll low one. OK, sure, fuck it.
Roll it. It's a 3.
Yeah, OK, cool. After this exchange with Archie,
Maxie will kind of swivel in a stool and much more calmly will
reintroduce himself and give a gentle nod, and he'll say it's a
pleasure to see the two of you again.
Where's the rest of your party? There were three others,
correct? 3 Maxie nods.
He says yes. There was the the short older
gentleman with the long beard, there was the young redheaded
girl, and there was the pink haired woman.
You can see kind of just like a darkness wash over Schmidt's
face as he brings up. Well, we, we, the two of us just
came from our gym challenge, don't know where Cindy and Kim
Lee, what they're up to right now.
And we don't really know about Sam either.
OK I want Archie to roll an insight, but it'd be more fun
just for a charisma roll from Elodie.
Just general kind of on the vibe of delivering this knowledge.
24. OK, cool, Maxi, like analyzes
your statement and thinks about it and decides not to speak on
it much more because that would be inappropriate and he doesn't
want to make himself or anyone else uncomfortable.
Archie says. Sounds like my niece and nephew.
You need a drink, bartender, Give me a round for these two.
And he signals down a Mr. Mime who's wearing like a food
service apron. And a Mr. Mime runs around and
it comes forward and brings out some mimosas, some very fancy
mimosas with some fresh squeezed juice directly to Schmidt and
LED. You can commiserate, chat, drink
as much as you like. I am curious how much you are
intending to drink in this session.
Schmidt is going to drink what whoever is in front of him.
OK, so like. After the after the encounter he
had, yeah, he had like a darkness wash over his face.
Like, I need to drink everything now.
So the second the drink hits the table in front of him, it is
like down the back of his throat.
OK, Elodie, what's your thoughts on drinking right now?
You have a bit of a reputation, but I'm curious.
I feel like I I think she's learned her lesson.
I think she'll probably only go for one or two.
OK, fair enough. I will get con saves from you
later as you're enjoying. There will be a slight seating
rearrangement. Archie is just so charismatic
and bubbly, and he's feels really particularly drawn to
Elodie. He'll kind of push Maxie out of
the stool and Archie will plop next to Elodie.
Maxie will move around and sit next to Schmidt, and they will
engage in various conversations. Maxi will kind of just kind of
keep quiet because he knows that Schmidt's having a tough time.
And Maxi has made a role and he's trying to bring up a
conversation that he thinks that the both of you would enjoy
participating in. And Maxi pulls out like from one
of his cargo short pockets, like a little coin that seems to be
kind of old and perhaps from a different region made out of our
metal, and has a picture of a flaming bird on it.
He shows it to you. And he says, You ever heard of
this Pokémon before, Schmidt? No, I haven't.
And then Schmidt, like, downs the last of his drink and says,
bartender, can I have another? Maxie will give a nod to the Mr.
Mime to ensure that it goes on the Maxie and Archie tab.
Oh. No, no, no, you don't have to.
Maxie says no, I insist. Allow me, I'm going to give you
a spiel about Moltres anyways in a minute here.
And Maxie will insist on painting.
He will. He's just going to ramble to you
about Moltres while you're drinking.
It seems to be a trend that nerdy older men gravitate
towards Schmidt in bars to ramble at him.
Schmidt, like, goes to pick up his second drink, and then he
has, like, flashbacks to like, the bar with Amori.
He's like, I feel like I've been here before.
Exactly now that's the exact feeling and it's clear that
Maxi's maybe just like he likes you guys and he knows he brought
up something that maybe he shouldn't have.
That's a soft spot. So he he feels uncomfortable, so
he doesn't want anyone else to feel uncomfortable.
So he's rambling about legendary fire type Pokémon.
That's like what he's doing. Archie is having quite the
ruckus with Elodie. He's trying to, like, sing
Sailor Shanties. Will you join him, Elodie?
Absolutely. OK.
Give me a performance please. 19. 19 fantastic.
Yeah, you guys killed it. While, you know, the volume kind
of picks up, it's already kind of noisy here.
It's brunch time mimosas, so it's kind of loud already.
But Archie, just after exchanging pleasantries with
Elodie, just burst into sailor song and Elodie knows some of
the words and sings along and harmonizes and it's amazing and
the whole bar is kind of into it.
The only person who's not really engaged is Maxi, who's just like
very quietly under his breath just rambling about ho oh now
and then. You know, just all these other
powerful fire type Pokémon. Heatran just talking to Schmidt
about it just cuz he thinks it's interesting and he's trying to
distract Schmidt. Perhaps this is where I will ask
for some con saves from Elodie and Schmidt.
We will just say if we haven't, maybe two, maybe 3 drinks.
DC-15 sounds like fun. OK, I made a 15.
OK. So I kept if ties.
No, I kept going back and forth. OK, sorry.
Let me, let me. This is my logic of this.
OK, yes, ties favor the attacker, right?
Yes, I think the drink is the one attacking here.
OK, you can choose to fail a safe if that is what you want.
We were, I was, you know, we've been doing this shit for like 3
years and when the gym challenges kept coming up and I
kept giving different answers, the attacker in terms of armor
class, if you're making a save, the keyword is meets.
It beats it, right? So I, I was botching that in the
gym challenge. That being said, as I just said,
you can choose to fail a save always.
So do you choose to fail a save perhaps?
Sure. OK.
Cool, it'll be fun. We'll have another Drunk Schmidt
episode. Yeah, we, we love drunk Schmidt
and, you know, thematically, canonically kind of make sense
in this situation. LED How are you doing?
I got an 11. OK, Aldi's feeling drunk too.
They're drinking it up. Let's do it.
The the singing's getting a little sloppy.
You know they're having a good time.
They're on an island again. Maybe they didn't have a long
enough break being on a continent between being on
islands, but you know they're having a good time one way or
another. As is RG and Maxi, despite their
disparate personalities. Schmidt starts his third drink,
and as Maxi's talking about how, oh, he like, kind of leans into
him drunk and he's like, hey, I know that one.
Yeah. Very good maxi enjoys that give
a give a disadvantage religion or history check.
Oh we love disadvantage. OK disadvantage.
I got a 2 on the die. I know I'm proficient but.
Sure. So that's like 6 or something.
Seven. Yeah.
OK, So yeah, it's clear that Schmidt knows some stuff about
Ho, but not as much as Maxi's rambling about these other fire
types. But Maxi still listens and he
says you're very well informed for a young man enjoys having
this conversation while ALDI and Archie enjoy singing songs
together. Cindy and Gimli, even though you
are about half a mile away, you cannot help but hear the
uproarious sound that is Archibald from what formerly
Team Aqua singing a Sailor Shanty.
It is crystal clear it's up to you if you want to keep playing
on the beach, but it is something that you notice.
Do you do anything with this information?
The gay uncles beckon us. Of.
Course. Oh if I must.
And then I stop wiring the electricity that was to my
Chateau. That's awesome.
It's. Like I guess some person will
just live with this, I don't know.
That's really, really cool. Two things.
First, I want Gimli to make that same perception check that Cindy
failed. And I also want Gus to make a
Constitution safe, OK? So first perception.
Not wonderful. I got an 11.
OK. And then Gus with a con.
Oh, that was pretty good. I got an 18.
OK, pretty high. Cool.
Couple things. One, you see as you turn around
to the sound of the uproarious singing from like kind of
shortly after the hotel, the seaside resort that you're
staying in, you see the gathering of your son Gimli and
TMF, the Tiberius Matthias Faris heart, the man who is clad in
armor from Sino. It seems that they have gathered
and they're just like eating sandwiches.
They're just hanging out next to each other.
Forgot he was here. And for Gus, you notice as he
surprisingly dexterously or maybe even just on accident, is
avoiding the chomping of a shelter who is trying to bite
onto his body. But he has managed to avoid it
seemingly on accident because he's not very fast.
But that's just the way his body twitches.
He's good. Do you do anything with either
of these pieces of information? I think me, Gimli's probably
fine. I think when Cindy goes over to
see the gay uncles, I'll, I'll check on him.
Sure, I'll actually go over to them.
Very good. Do you all recall your Pokémon
is another question. Yes.
Yeah, probably. OK, Gimli's certainly got a
Mötley Crüe of of. Monsters and don't want to leave
them all in about. Yeah, it might cause harm, or
not harm, but some suspicion. OK, very good.
You also noticed with your DC-10 perception that you got in 11 on
that. You may have seen this before,
but kind of a ways to the northern part of the island near
the industrial district, a little past the Pokémon Center,
you do see a right of learning establishment and it seems like
there are some trainers gathered outside of it as well.
Cindy, are you just heading to the Mr. Mimosas?
Yeah. OK, Gimli, you're going to stop
and check in with your son and TMF, correct?
Yes. OK, you do.
So the TMF is kind of adorned in almost like knight like armor.
It just seems a little more modern, but it seems to have
been constructed similar to Schmidt's arm, probably from
like the shed metal of Skarmory and Korvanite.
So that is the vibe that it gives and he has kind of the
classic knight kind of visor. Look to it.
Which he has currently open right now.
It's the first time you've seen his eyes and he's enjoying like
a a sandwich. It's reminiscent.
I couldn't think of a maybe you guys can help me think of a
Pokémon equivalent to the word Bon me because that is the type
of sandwich that they're enjoying.
It's like a tepic pork cilantro kind of vegetable, somewhat
spicy. Sandwich A Bonsly.
Bonsly. Yeah.
I mean, yeah, maybe. Hell yeah.
That's pretty funny, yes. Whatever that is, they're
enjoying it for. Yeah.
For the first time you see part of TM FS face, it's clearly
grizzled and kind of scarred. He has dark skin and like light
hair and just like these really deep eyes.
And it seems familiar to you as a Sunoan resident who worked in.
Did you live in Cannaleaf or did you work in Cannaleaf?
I worked in Cannaleaf originally from Warbo.
You know that the native Sinoans who live in Iron Island are
usually, like, very tall and, like, use metal a lot.
And you would you would understand that, you know, TMF
told you that this is where he's from.
And he fits the description perfectly.
As you stumble into their conversation, you hear Jim Lee
kind of talking about like, yeah, you know, we're just.
Laying out planes very discreetly, not giving away any
huge information. But he's he's saying as you
approach, yeah, we're, we're waiting to meet a friend.
We know that there's something happening tomorrow and, you
know, just blah, blah, blah, talking about stuff.
And Team F says, you know, oh, I've heard of your friend.
I heard that a powerful trainer of the Hohen region who is a
former champion actually lives on this island.
And Jim is like, oh, it's really interesting.
Who is it, Bubble? And they're just talking about
it. What do you say to them?
Just a check of what they're up to Sure.
Like you guys doing OK over here got one of the bond sleeves are
they're pretty good. Very.
Good. Yeah, They're enjoying a Gimli's
kind of stuff in his face. He's wearing very relaxed
clothes, like very loose kind of swim trunk, shorts, tank top.
He looks like very chill. For like the first time, you can
tell that there's still kind of something unsettling going on in
his mind, but his expression is very calm.
GMF is still like dressed as a knight, and you can only imagine
that he feels very hot. But who knows?
They inform you that they're feeling good and just hanging
around, and Jim Lee asks if you have any plans for the day and
if you want his help with anything.
No, I just want want to see if you guys are doing all right.
You know, we're about to check in if you if you want to go see
Archie and Maxi. I don't know if you've met up
with them at any point, but they're they're kind of a hoot.
Jim Lee clarifies. He says.
Are those the old gangsters from Teamaka and Team Magma?
Oh, gangster shrags. Yeah, yeah, yeah, those guys.
Jimmy laughs and he says, yeah, maybe I I might check that out.
I know there's a couple touristy spots I wanted to look at before
before Red showed up, so I was gonna just check some things
out. Well, let me know if you you
watch your old band to join. Yeah, if you feel a little bit
of a hang, as the kids say. Jimmy says yeah, you sure know
what the kids say. Oh, I know, all the kids say
yeah. He he gives you kind of a
loving, yet kind of also dismissive, like I'm enjoying my
sandwich. You can go now, kind of.
Oh, I gotcha. I gotcha.
And he says, you know where to find me.
Oh, yeah, no, I'll, I'll just be over here.
I get out with Auntie and Maxi, just your dad, your old fist,
you know, to find me if you you want to hang out with your band,
you know, whatever. Generally is very appreciative
of the sentiment for sure, but he also needs some alone time
because he's kind of been through it lately.
Sure. So do you catch up with Cindy
and enter Mr. Mimosas? Yeah.
Great. Yeah, You do that again.
It's a little poppin. I described it earlier, but you
get the idea. It's around brunch time, maybe
1:00 PM at this point. Getting closer to later in
lunch, Archie and Elodie are singing sea shanties and having
a great time. Just like swinging their mimosas
around. They're splashing all over the
place. Schmidt looks a little
downtrodden. He's kind of hunched over.
And maybe he's, like, not feeling super well.
And Maxie's just. He's just yapping.
Just yapping at him. Do you?
It seems like Maxie and Archie nor the other members of the
Paco noticed that you're here. Do you make yourself?
What do? You do, Ayo.
Just kind of walk in and go Ayo. Ayo Ayo.
Yeah. This totally works on Archie.
He stops this on, he turns around and he goes.
There's the little one come here.
And he'd like now that he's drunk, he wants a hug.
So will you give Archie a big old sailor hug?
Absolutely. OK.
But since we've been doing it, just roll AD 20. 18.
Great. Yeah, you guys are rolling like
1819 on these Archie exchanges. Yeah, He gives you a big old
squeeze. You feel like your bones might
pop out of your body just with how muscular he is.
But he definitely doesn't squeeze you hard enough to hurt
you, puts you back down, Pats you on the head.
And then he turns and offers Gimli a firm handshake.
And he looks very stern all of a sudden.
Do you? Shake his hand, of course.
OK, well just D20 for fun do. I add strength to that.
We've just been doing straight D 20s, so OK, unless you want to
like go for the grip, then yeah, you can have.
Strength. I do want to go for the grip,
OK? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go for it then. So got a 16 then.
OK. Yeah, very firm handshake.
Archie's, like, very pleased. He's a pretty strong, muscular
man himself. Yeah.
And he's almost like twice your height and, you know, gives you
a good handshake. And he says, good to see you
again, Sir. Like very formal, but you can
tell he's overdoing it because he's a little drunk.
Yeah, likewise, Likewise, yeah. He will offer to buy both of you
drinks and then he remembers like wait, how old are you?
And he points at Cindy and asks how old, how old she is.
You don't remember? He roll a history check.
He certainly does not. No, he like he puts his thumb
and his forefinger on his chin and he scratches and he says, I
don't remember. You look like you're right at
that cusp age. You remind me your age again.
I don't want to get in trouble here.
I just turned 15, Archie. Gives you a big old thumbs up
and he says no drinks, all right.
I have a virgin mimosa. I love responsible gay uncle.
Yeah, I was about to cut him off when she was going to lie.
So like, no, no, no, that is a child.
I love version Mimosa because that is just orange juice.
That's orange. That's orange juice and club
soda. Very good.
Yeah, I guess they could make it bubbly, right?
Yeah, yeah. Archie will pay for your drinks.
Do it up. Maxi has certainly not noticed
you, Schmidt. You can notice with the DC11
perception if you want. If you want, you don't have to
even. So good at just perception
checks. Oh, I got a 19.
Schmidt notices fucking everything.
Schmidt has had so many drinks he has fucking ascended.
It's friends. Everything that happens in the
bar is in Schmidt's awareness. Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah. There there's a date that's
going really poorly with between some two young kids in the
corner. There's a group of like church
ladies who all got together. Today's Not Sunday, today's
Saturday. I think regardless, they just
love Mr. Mimosas and they're having a Hootenhorn time and
they're gossiping about Ethel. Classic old lady gossip.
There's some younger kids who are on vacation from like a
school maybe in Lily Cove or something, and they're getting
stressed about their classes and their tests because it's the new
semester. You have, you have downloaded
this whole place and just you are specially cognizant of the
Mr. Mimes around you and how they are a little uncanny, but
they're doing their jobs well and they aren't threatening, but
they are certainly Mr. Mimes. Do you do anything with this
information? Schmidt's going to walk up to
the old ladies and be like, Oh my God, what did that bitch?
Ethel, do yeah, roll a Charisma. I'll give you a slight bonus
because you're tipsy. Got another 19.
Oh shit, yeah, the old ladies like, immediately like pull you
in and like, grab you a seat. And Maxi just kind of shakes his
head, kind of disappointed because he thought he was having
a good conversation. He'll like hand over Maxi
because he doesn't want to leave him alone.
He'll be like talks about Ethel. Oh, OK, You bring him over to
the conversation. Like, wave him down, yeah.
Yeah, OK. Yeah.
So these these grannies that there's like 6 or so of them and
they're all just drinking and like having like little snacks.
They say, oh, Ethel, you didn't hear.
She, we heard that she fished all of the Carvana and magic
carp out of the reservoir down by Mount Pyre.
And the, the Park Rangers are looking to figure out who did
it. And that that woman, she just
can't stop fishing. And all the women at the table,
she's obsessed. She can't stop.
She's just. So she's such an angler and
they're just. There's no way one woman fished
all of them. The woman you're talking to nods
and she says it's true, Ethel's a monster with the rod.
And everyone's nodding. They're like, yeah, unbeatable.
I'm. Going to be mature about it.
Yeah, the monster with the rods. Kind of was a monster with the
rod. That's a crazy thing to say.
Listen, they're, they're old women.
They, they, it's either a cute, innocent, like just term that
they're using, or they totally know and it's funny to them.
Yeah. That is funnier.
That's that's how old women are. Actually, yeah, they will say
monster with a rod and then Schmidt will like blush a bit.
Very good. Yeah, They they like you.
Maxie feels a little confused as to why he was dragged in, but
that is all good. He had not much of A say in the
matter. At some point, if he finds a
lull in the conversation, he might start asking one of these
women about Heatran, but he hasn't gotten that comfortable
yet, so. You guys know about Heatran?
What do you think about Heatran? What do you guys think about
Heatran? Anything else, any sorts of
things that you guys want to do? This is clearly like just
finished the gym battle, beach day, relaxing kind of vibe.
But in this current moment with the information you have, is
there anything you want to do, say, any checks you want to
make, etcetera? I don't know.
I built my Sandcastle condo. What does City do on the beach?
What are you? What are you?
What were you up to? I'm just running in and out with
the waves like the fucking birds.
Do OK. Just being a chaos gremlin.
Of course, like the birds. OK, yeah, yeah, you guys can
enjoy this more or less for as long as you like.
You hear some like, stirrings and some memories of some people
coming in and out. The grannies seem like they're
going to stay here till close, but the other groups come and
go. Archie and Elodie will keep
saying sometimes just gossip, chat, etcetera.
Trainers come in, those who have like won the gym challenge,
those who have lost. It seems like it's a busy gym
day. You hear some trainers like
gossiping about the right of learning.
A couple families come through. One family in particular comes
in with like a very large dark furred cat with very round
cheeks. The adults get some drinks and
the kids have some virgin mimosas, as you said, and they
discuss about how they're disappointed that the tours for
the Space Center are closed today.
And let's see, maybe one more. Gimli, you can give me another
who has enrolled a funny perception.
Actually LED. LED can give me the perception.
Gotcha. You got it dude then.
Everyone gets one. You got it 15.
Got it, 15. That is good enough.
Yeah. One man enters, probably now
closer to around 2:00 or 2:30 PM He's by himself.
He has an air of like significance to him.
He's just shy of 6 feet tall. He has kind of a brilliant
platinum colored spiky hair. He's dressed very nicely.
Like he has nice clothes. It's not excessively formal, but
like high quality fiber. You can tell he's not enjoying
the beach. It seems like maybe he's
spending time in a library or a study.
He has various pokey balls adorn to his belt.
And he finds a table by himself and he just has a bunch of like
gems and geodes and rocks and he just spills them out on the
table and he just starts examining them.
And it peaks your curiosity a bit.
At the bar. Feels oddly familiar.
Hey, he's the guy who, like, just brings the book, you know,
sits in the corner at the bar, just enjoys the ambient noise.
You don't have to necessarily do anything with this information,
but he has a vibe for sure. Yeah, he's not a cop.
He's a vibe. I don't think you guys talk to
him, right? Yeah, honestly, he's not a cop.
I'm not. Interested.
I'm really am the geologist. You know, are there any cops
that Mister mimosas? Yeah, roll a cop check.
Cop check maybe? That's more like a boyfriend
check, am I right? For Ality, yeah, maybe.
Yeah, kills. Check.
Kills. Wow.
What up? Like kill?
What about oilf, officer? Oil.
Oilf. It's funnier to say Oilf is
really funny. Yeah, now you're drunk, so it's
awesome for it like to fuck. Yeah, true.
OK, Ellie, what's your role for? Or Cindy who's rolling the cop
Check. That's so funny.
I mean, I can. If you want.
Not 20. Wow.
Yeah, baby. Not put on perception, but not
20 for cops. OK, you're a little car, but
also. Yeah, give me a second.
I need to. Invent the cop real.
Quick, why did the police Well, Annette 20 were the cop right?
That's that's the. One, he's got the.
Hottest 1. Hot.
Cop OK sure why not here here's what's going to happen.
Nat 20 on the cop check is going to be pretty significant.
Cop things happening for sure. Two cops enter, of which the
lots of you recognize. Oh, except for Schmidt's.
Actually, Schmidt is going to be vaguely familiar with one of
these cops, and then the other one, not so much.
However, is it the guy? One of them isn't particularly
copy at all. Let me describe them.
One of them is like a late 30s, early 40s woman, and she is
wearing kind of vacation gear. She's just like, you know, you
can tell she's a cop. Whether or not she's undercover
or off duty, not sure. The other man is in a brown
trench coat and he is just always dressed that way.
These two were involved in your interrogation for your crimes in
Doofertown. They are Delaney and Looker, the
international police agent. I don't know if Schmidt met
Looker. I don't know if Schmidt knows
who this is, but he didn't make the role.
Nah, I don't think so. Additionally they come in with
Gothitel and Elodie gets the sensation that whether or not
it's intentional, if you guys tried to leave right now, you
would not be able to. Damn it, we got shadow tag?
Oh shit, shit guys, we didn't pay our fucking fines yet.
Regardless, Elodie, can you also give me a stealth on that
please? Unless you want to be seen.
I not really, no. Oh shit, oh fuck.
Shit, oh fuck we. Are we, are we, are we fighting
the cops right now? No.
I got a. 15 OK, cool. Looker and Delaney, you're
again, you're not quite sure if they're off duty or undercover
or whatever they're doing. It seems like if they have
noticed you, they don't care or they haven't noticed you.
It's one or the other. They go to the bar and they get
drinks from the Mr. Mimes and they sit and they have a kind of
a quiet conversation, not like hushed, but they're just kind of
hanging around. And Looker is like fidgeting
with a coin. He's just kind of twirling it
between his fingers and Gothatel is standing around.
And again, maybe Delaney isn't realizing it, but if anyone
tried to leave right now, they would not be able to.
It's kind of fucked up. Yeah, it is.
Seriously. She's just walking around like
that. There's people that are just
like, I just want to go home today, like.
I guess potentially she dragged anyone else with her, Like,
yeah. They're just like, oh God, wait,
there's a whole crowd of people behind them.
Yes, that is not the case unfortunately.
But there are in fact cops here too.
Pretty relevant cops. Whether or not LED wants to
strike a conversation with them is a different story.
I think we're going to try to lay low.
LED Do we have to leave? I can dig a hole underground.
What? The fuck?
I mean, I, I think we're fine for now.
OK, cool bartender, can I have another?
The bartender will give you another.
The Mr. Mind will make eye contact with Archie to verify
that he's still paying for it, and it seems that he is.
You may enjoy another mimosa. You're still with the grannies?
Or did you move on? Schmidt Schmidt's feeling a
little social today. He'll he'll, he'll move on to
he'll start harassing the couple.
Oh, there's more happening. He'll be like, listen, listen,
you 2 need to appreciate each other while you have each other
because you're not always going to be around.
You don't know what the media is going to blow up you.
Never know when the end of the world is going to happen.
You know, it could be in two days.
Hell yeah. Give me just a charisma on that
please. It could just.
Happen in 2 days. That's a modifier.
That's a 0 modifier, so that's an 8.
Yeah, nice. Yeah, they're scared, dude.
Like they're roughly. They're roughly Yeah.
You never. Yeah, you never know meteors
gonna come out and shoot your girlfriend in the head, you
know, like. That screws the mind.
Like he, he like puts his arm around the guy and he's like,
look, you got to be really careful.
She could be like an evil leader of like an organization or
something, like you never know, you got it.
You got to vet these things first.
Yeah, the girl is like, terrified and like, looking to
leave. The guy kind of like, is nodding
and he's like, he's like, you might be on to something.
Like something's not right with her.
Like, that's why this isn't going to work, you know?
And the girl actually like kind of is crying and gets up to
leave and then she can't because of shadow tag.
So she's like, what's going on? I'm not evil, I swear.
It's so sick. She's actually going to make a
check. Oh, she does great.
She sheepishly gets behind Delaney and, like, taps around
the shoulder and she's like, crying.
And then Delaney, like, immediately knows what's going
on. She's like, oh, yeah, silly me,
shadow tag. And then she recalls, got the
tell. And then the girl runs away and
the guy's just like, thank you, strange man.
Yeah. You know what it like, it was
never going to work. I was trying to tell her that,
but I think you gave me some insight that makes me feel a lot
better about my decision. Somehow Spain.
Is never going to be an healthy relationship.
Not after that. Every woman, he's like, hey, are
you part of a secret evil organization?
It's like, no. It's like having him on the
back. He's like, I'm glad it worked
out for one of us. And then he, like, sheepishly
moves on to the next person. Oh God.
Oh no. Chaos and Mr. Mimosas, that's
so. Funny.
Seriously, we fucked up this mimosas.
Yeah. So now we can leave without
delaying it. That's true.
Good. This worked out nicely.
Before Schmidt goes to harass someone new, does anyone else
want to throw in a dice roll or do a thing?
I'm curious to know if Maxie picks up on the like.
You never know when you're gonna get when your girlfriend's gonna
get hit in the face by a meteor. Sure.
Yeah, you can roll. And also he will roll to see if
he notices that he's quite. Observant I have to roll.
No, sorry Archie. No, Maxie.
Maxie will roll. Maxie's rolling, yeah.
What did Cindy get? 17 on the die inside it should
only go up. It is +2.
Yeah, so so 19. Quite good.
Yeah. It's pretty clear that, like
Max, he was like listening to Schmidt's conversation.
And then like, there's a look of like, recognition, not a full
story explanation, but he's like, that's the source of the
problem. And it's clear that he's someone
understands anyone else making any sorts of roles.
No, I want to see this unfold. Where do we go next?
Ality checking. No, I'm all good.
We're all good. OK.
Yeah, we're all just like sipping our mimosas.
Yeah, we're locked in like, oh God, where's he going?
We're just sitting at the bar, like watching this go down.
Fantastic. All right.
Where's what table's he going to next guys?
Schmidt will roll AD 4 to determine exactly that.
Oh hell yeah, I rolled it too. OK, you go over to the
importance looking man who seems to be sitting by himself looking
at rocks. He initially seems like he
raises an eyebrow as you approach, like he doesn't know
who you are. But he after taking a look, he
kind of pulls up a seat and he's like, would you like to join me,
Sir? So it's like, do you know Omori?
You remind me of a guy named Omori.
He's going to make a history check.
This man does not recognize anyone by the name of Omori.
Is your name also Schmidt? I'm sorry, I've been watching
Legends of Armentus and they're just a bunch of shitters.
I'm. Sorry, no, it's OK.
I I gotta get good with that kind of shit.
That's good. No, they're both named John
Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Yes, that is holy fuck no.
Wait, his name is my name? This man's name is who we got
Schmidt, he will say. I'm sorry, my name is not
Schmidt. My name is Steven.
I am a rock collector and an enthusiast.
Would you care to look at some specimens with me?
I'm not really a rock guy, but, but I have a rock guy.
I, I know a rock guy that I, I think he'd be cool to talk to.
And he like, starts waving down Gimli.
He's like, hey Gimli, I got some rocks over here.
Wait, there's rocks? Do you join him?
Yeah, yeah, GIMP. I like stealthily.
I just get excited about. Rocks Schmidt likes as
stealthily as he can starkinly like shifts places with Jim with
Gimli like like it's like a like a like a like a full swap like
like they switch places. Very good.
There's no pulpivot. Steven will then introduce
himself to Gimli. He says hello, my name is
Steven. Nice to meet you.
What? You have a collection of rocks
here? What are you?
What are you looking over? He says, well I recently took a
trip to Meteor Falls and procured some specimen and
thought I would give them a look at myself and my father, both
avid collectors of gems and minerals.
Rare stones can be quite magical, don't you think?
I agree, I counted many of my time as a minor.
He holds a mysterious kind of Milky purple one closer to his
face, and he says it's pretty peculiar.
It seems that's anything that is going to be imbued with
significant magic tends to be a stone.
Isn't that unusual? Now, rocks are just magical like
that. They contain many powerful
essences. They tell the story of the
world. Stephen nods.
He is. He is rather charmed that a man
such as yourself has a similar philosophy about the properties
of stones and gems and how they are truly special.
He will ask you. He says.
Your friend over there, he has a prosthetic.
Is it made of scarmory? Feather.
Well, I think it was from Scarbury Feathers.
I believe so. Steven nods.
He says It seems to be that way, except they have a different
quality about them. I wonder if it was a
particularly interesting Scarbury, or if perhaps it was
combined with other mineral components.
Well, you said you were media. False.
Did you happen to get to the Draconid village?
Steven looks curious. He says.
Oh, that? That place is usually shrouded
in secret, and it's quite the trek to get there.
Have you been there yourself? As he reads the question.
Yeah, of course there was a scarberry there that was quite
peculiar. It might have been where he got
the the feathers from it. Stevens going to make a roll of
sorts. He has intuited that despite
your charming and friendly and just kind of boisterous
demeanor, he is realizing that there's more than meets the eye
to you, Gimli. I'm a transformer, yes.
Emily turns into a truck. Translate.
No, not a go. I gotta roll out, sorry.
Yeah, Steven says. Yes, I, I've been there before.
It's been quite some time. I do know it's quite difficult
to traverse to the properties of of the stones in Meteor Falls
are, are quite significant, quite unique.
It's it's always a pleasure to spend some time there as he
continues parsing through the rocks.
You mind if I I pass through with you?
Take a look at some stuff. I'm always captivated by new
rocks. Steven says my pleasure.
Happy to join the festivities with another Stone enthusiast.
Lovely. Sure, roll a.
Rock check. Yeah, just a rock check.
It would be intelligence for sure.
I want to give you proficiency on it though.
OK, 17. Yeah, pretty good.
You can identify some of these. Some of them are valuable to
your line of work, some of them are not.
You can you know that some of the ones that are valuable to
your mind of work contain components that are utilized in
the construction of technologies like box links and pokey balls
and things that are used for trainers.
You see others like you find a Geo that you're pretty certain
that if you smash it open, you would find a revive crystal in
there. There's some pretty unique stuff
going on while you're parsing through these.
You could see at Stevens hands, he has like really incredible
jewelry. He's got some fingers, he's got
some rings on his fingers that are just like giant like
incredible stones. Really like someone with a lot
of wealth would have to procure those, no doubt.
Anything else? Anything else for Gimli and
Steven while they look at rocks? I don't think so.
We identified some key ones, so I think it'd be pretty cool.
OK before I move on, Steven will say you must be a pretty
powerful adventurer if you have found your way to Dragon Head
village in the past. I would recommend if this is
your first time here, pay a visit to the right of learning.
They may do you well. I think that was my next stop
anyway, but I appreciate the voice he.
Says of course I'm a. Schmidt is has found his way to
the table like behind Gimli and he like kind of half turns
around and whispers to Gimli like.
Ask him his last name. And then he dives on the floor
and rolls away to the next table.
Just rolls away, yeah. He doesn't do that.
We're gonna get kicked out of this Mimos.
Maybe just Schmidt, I will not ask of his last.
OK, great. I will ask Schmidt to roll a
disadvantage stealth check please.
Oh hell yeah. That roll.
It's giving very Potter musical. You're not wearing your Cape,
are you? Are you wearing your Cape?
Yeah, Schmidt's definitely wearing his Cape.
Oh he definitely like flourishes the Cape before he rolls like
and then crossover like. Very good shit.
What is spelt? It's dex of I know this.
I rolled really low but Schmidt is stupid.
Plus 10 on spell check, so that's a 12.
OK, yeah, The whisper that you give to Gimli was really not a
whisper. You kind of like almost shouted
it at him and then and then you threw yourself on the floor and
you did it kind of loud kind of hard sleep.
Bud, just death, drop into a snake, slither out.
Pretty much. Yeah, please roll AD 6.
Oh, I'm taking a damage. That's a. 5.
Five. Yeah, you take five points of
damage as you could just fall on the floor after shouting.
Ask him his last name at giggling.
Deaths drops onto the floor. Additionally, the stealth roll
was not quite high enough to not attract the attention of Looker
and Delaney. Delaney would kind of like,
swivel in her seat and watch you, like, slink away on the
floor and like, roll her eyes. Actually, no, she doesn't know
you. Just kidding.
Does does Schmidt recognize that they're police?
Probably not because he wasn't interrogated by them.
OK, so they're just people to him.
OK, Yeah, yeah, they're just, they're just people.
They're on the talk list now. Looker, like Delaney will like,
get up and like be like, what are you doing down there And
like, try to pick you up. And Looker is like whispering to
a Mr. Mime who's on the other side of the bar.
Do you get lifted up by Delaney or do you just keep Slytherin?
Schmidt, like whenever somebody goes to pick him up, he just
kind of like gives up like a cat or something.
Yeah, exactly. Very good.
Yeah, he's just like, fine. Delaney will, like, do that and,
like, brush you off and be like someone with a, a, a Cape as
fancy as this one shouldn't be rolling around on the ground.
You got to be careful. And you might need to drink some
water. And she'll signal over to the
Mr. Mimes that you might need some water.
So it's like that's judgmental. She will say I'll pretend I
didn't hear that. I hope you have a great day and
she'll turn back to look her unless you stop her.
That being said, do you continue to harass someone else at this
establishment? Schmidt will return to the bar
with Maxi. OK.
And then he'll tell him Maxi about, like, everyone he just
met. He's like, OK, so I met these
old ladies, right? Yeah.
Just name Ethel that. Finished up all the Carvana in
the entire sea. It's.
Higher ocean, yeah. Yeah, Ethel goes crazy.
Yeah. There are no more Carvana in the
whole world. If Max is good at anything, it's
really actively listening. That's like something that is
very charming about him. So he will very intensely and
just like professionally listen to all the things that you're
saying about the people you've met and he acts very engaged and
interested in it feels like comforting in a social way.
Elodie, Cindy, are you up to anything in all this chaos?
I think I'm just, like, enthralled by the interactions
that Schmidt is having. Yeah.
Watching and Gimme too, yeah. Very good.
Just. Checking on my virgin mimosa,
pretending it's real. OK, some time passes and 3:30
rolls around and the Mr. Mimes while they cannot speak, they do
ring a bell. Bing Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
and it is apparently last call. They do not operate at night,
they are in fact a mimosa place so they will be closing soon.
So if you have any more drink orders you got to get them in.
Should I get? Five more for the road.
Roll a persuasion. This is going to Archie, by the
way, the persuasion check. Got a natural 20?
OK, yeah, OK. Yeah, Archie's like, of course
we get this man whatever he wants.
And the mimes are like he really shouldn't be drinking more but
they they make it happen. They procure you 5 to go
mimosas. So add that to your inventory
please. Jeez.
Anyone else last calling it? They should call them Gomosas.
Why is that, Gomosas? That's what I'm writing in my in
my inventory. Yeah, Mr. Gomosa. 5 gomosas
it's. Just like in a cup carrier.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty fantastic.
And they have straws, yeah. Pink straws.
Schmidt is like sipping two of them at a time.
He's like double fisting. And he's got two straws.
Oh. Man, that's fucked up.
You're. Fucked up.
Oh my God, it's like the recreation of the photo from
like the drawing from the first time where he's got 2.
Kebabs. We have the two kebabs.
Always double fisting. Some things never change, yeah.
As much as Schmidt has changed, some things never change.
That's really special. Elodie, do you have any final
things you want to talk to Archie about?
Or Gimli, do you have any final things you want to talk to
Steven about? Well, I actually would ask him
why he's looking at these in this mimosas.
Sure, Steven will tell you. So I have a house here.
I, this is where I spend most of my time is in Moss Deep City.
But sometimes I just, I get all cooped up and I get 2 in the
zone. And I, I end up ending the day
and realizing I haven't interacted with anybody.
And while I still don't love interacting with people, when I
get out in public and do the, my kind of private activities, I
feel more included and involved. And as an elite 4 member, I feel
that it's important that I get to know my community in some
way. And this is just been a good
practice for me to to be more ingrained with the community.
Oh, you're in the Elite 4? That's impressive.
Steven nods. He says I used to be champion.
Incredible. So well, I mean, I got to ask
you about the the state of governmental affairs.
I haven't haven't heard anything from May.
I don't know if you have not happening.
Roll up Persuasion. Drop secret government
government secrets. We've been.
Talking, talking 19. 19's pretty good.
Steven kind of leans closer to you and he says you seem like a
powerful trainer. To be honest, things have not
been well. We've been dealing with
significant upticks in crime and terror, and we're dealing with
the Pokémon Center issue across the whole region where none of
our Pokémon Centers are working. We believe it's a form of
espionage or, or terrorism. And as, as you said, our
champion, we, he looks around very carefully at all these
folks and he whispers to you, He says we believe that someone
close to her is being held as a hostage.
I know the feeling. He will.
How will he interpret that? He's going to roll that.
Yeah, he's. Going to like he's someone being
held hostage. Yeah, he's going to ask that.
He's like, what? What do you mean?
Well, I mean, we've been, we've been dealing with some, I mean,
you've been telling me some things, so I'll tell you some
things we've been dealing with probably that same terrorist
organization that you've been involved with we're also trying
to deal with as well. So and I believe they have my
wife so. Steven nods and he says Gimli,
it's it's been a pleasure to to meet you and discuss these
things with you and I hope I see you again soon as he.
Collects his. I'm sure you will.
He'll wrap up all of the stones in in a bag and he'll he'll
leave one with you, the one that looks curiously like it might
have a revive inside of it, and he will exit unless you stop
him. No, it's fine.
OK, Schmidt like sort of whispers to give me, but like
loud enough the entire bar can hear it.
And he's like, did you see his rocks?
Yeah, he left one for me. He was like.
Yeah. Do you want to look at it?
It's pretty cool. Schmidt, like, gets up out of
his chair and then he like, stumbles and falls on the
ground. Oh, OK, yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense. No, I was going to have you make
you make you make CON saves for penalties, but you're kind of
just doing it anyways. Yeah, you're signing your own
penalties. Yeah, he's got you covered.
It's fine. Don't spill your gomosas.
Yeah, be careful with those. Those are valuable.
They have the, they have the lid.
They're like little. Yeah, they got lids like.
Elodie and Cindy, anything before you get kicked out.
I will just ask Archie where where are you and Maxi headed
next? Archie says.
Well I know Max is going to be getting a little tired, but I
just have one more errand I want to run with him.
I want to go check out Shoal Cave up to the north.
I heard that it's high tide right now and all sorts of cool
water type Pokémon come out at that time.
So I'm I just want to pay it a visit and then after that we'll
probably just call it a night, sit on the beach, drink some
more, have a good time. And he gives you a hearty smack
on your shoulder. That sounds lovely, I hope you
guys have the best time ever. He gives you a sailor salute and
he says I'm sure we will. Come on Maxi.
And he kind of pulls them and Maxi will say, I bid you all
adieu. Hope to see you again soon as
he's getting dragged away. Those are my uncles I'm inside.
Everyone else those. Those guys, they're my uncles.
Yeah, they're my uncles. Yeah.
Schmidt is like gripping onto Maxi as he's being dragged away.
He's like, listen, I just want you to know I appreciate you.
Role of persuasion? Hell yeah.
That is awful. That is A5.
OK, Maxi will kind of like kick you away a little bit and he
says drink some water. Schmidt will point out some
water. It's judgmental.
Don't judge you be. Archie will comment on his
partner's comment and say no such thing as too much water.
Be safe. Too true. 7 out of 10 Too much
water, true. Right we heading to the right of
learning. Let's do it.
Drunk right of learning. Drunk right of learning.
Very. Good.
We didn't take. The wagon with us, did we fuck?
The wagon is in fact at the Berry farm.
Fuck, fuck. Schmidt needs a wagon ride.
Now I got you, I'll just. Get picky, I send out basket.
With the burning box. I I tell, I tell basket to
cooler jets a little bit. OK, have basket rolling nature.
OK. The vision in my head is like
Schmidt gets thrown by Gimli on top of basket and it lands with
like a, you know, like when like a piece of meat hits like a
grill or something. Like it's yeah, yeah.
I mean, we'll see how well Basket does here with the nature
check. What is nature based on?
I think it's wisdom, right? OK, maybe so.
Is it int? I never remember.
No, I'm pretty sure it's wisdom. It's like experience based.
My and sheet says int. Oh, is it int?
That's good, yeah. Roland int is not good.
That is -2 Yep. So it's DC99.
OK nine. It was 11 on the die.
Yep, so -2 is 9. Basket tries her best but cannot
cool her jets. Gimli, are you throwing Schmidt
out of the coals? That's probably not such a good
idea and I'll just carry them. OK, very good.
We could put the the Gomosas on basket.
Yeah, they're going to be boiling gomosas.
That's horrifying. Yeah.
Yummy. Nothing like a warm mimosa.
Drop in a coal like an ice cube. Or like it's one of those
TikTok. Videos with like the flaming
orb? Yeah, I'm flaming hot balls.
I love those. God no, let's not do that.
Yeah, that sounds horrible. You get kicked out of Mr.
Mimoso's. It's about 4:00 PM.
You are in the corner of like the industrial district.
You're on a higher elevation over on the eastern part of the
island, like the IT gets hilly and less sandy and more grassy.
You see a little ways to the north, slightly to your right, I
suppose. There's the Pokémon Center,
there's the right of learning, and there is a few people
gathered around something that is on the ground kind of on the
way to the Space Center, which is a hard right up the hill to
you. Which direction do you go?
Probably towards the right of learning, yeah.
So we're going, yeah, right of learning time, right of learning
time. OK, very good.
You enter a relatively new looking building.
You understand that this kind of organization is new to this
region, coming from a different region, and there's a big
sliding glass torch that opens up.
There's no line or anything to enter, and you are greeted by a
man in a lab coat he is holding in his arms.
He's trying to manage holding a clipboard with a pen as well as
a medium sized kind of brown fluffy fox Pokémon with large
ears. And he spins around and he
realizes that there are trainers here.
And he says welcome, Welcome to the mossy brights of learning.
My name is Doctor Claude Magnolia.
What can I assist you with? Are you all trainers?
We are, yes. He starts scribbling and he says
fantastic, exactly the type of people that we need to see.
He says at this right of learning, we specialize in the
investigation of a phenomenon known as Infinity energy.
This is an energy that is generated by all sources of
life, but particularly Pokémon and particularly when they
undergo certain effects, transformations or specifically
evolution. If you would like to assist in
our studies, you are more than welcome to.
I would ask to evaluate Pokémon that you suspect may be on the
brink of evolution and if you would allow us to trigger that
evolution within the confines of our laboratory, we can gather
their Infinity Energy and you will have an evolved Pokémon.
What do you say? I take out Key Lime immediately
and shove her towards them. OK, sure, you do that, Doctor
Claude Magnolia says. Oh, this is quite the particular
curlia. What makes you suspect that it's
ready for evolution? I can feel it.
Fantastic. Also they told me that at the
other right of learning. Claude asks.
Oh, which one is that? Rustboro I think.
Yeah, he he nods and he says, OK, understood.
You may be thinking Petalburg, but.
Yeah, same thing. Yes, of course, Dr. Takao Cosmo,
he's assisting me. To be frank, all of our
institutions are are concerned with this topic recently, but
ours in specific has this technology present to collect,
to harvest this Infinity energy. So by all means, if you're
ready, you may do so. I did catch an interjection from
Schmidt. What were you trying to say?
So Schmidt was just gonna be like, he's gonna go through all
his Pokémon in his head and realize all his Pokémon are
fully evolved, and he's gonna say phooey and he's gonna throw
down his two empty Mamosa cups and then pick up two more and
start sipping again. Oh God, so you're gonna.
Spill them everywhere. No, they're empty.
He finished all. They're empty.
Got. He's just littering, yeah.
OK, perfect as he. Litters littering.
A quadrupedal Pokémon comes and picks them up.
It's looks similar to the Pokémon that's being cradled in
Doctor Magnolia's arms, but in. Instead of a brown fluffy fox,
it seems sleek and kind of an icy blue, and it has features
that seem quite cold to it. It blows a gust of wind from its
mouth and it pushes the cups into a corner where it is able
to put them in a trash can. Nice LED Doctor Magnolia will
put Curlia in like this Chamber Key Lime into a chamber and just
close the door on it to do you do you consent to the.
Not experiments to the procedure.
Yes. OK, you see, as there's like
Curlia or I should say iron grace Key Lime is bombarded with
like some sort of ray or energy and mysteriously and in a way
that shocks Dr. Claude Magnolia himself, she does not become
encompassed in a brilliant white light.
Instead, tiny little like green like almost pixel size images
begin operating all over her body, running up and down.
And for a moment, it seems that like she's like fully integrated
into like a matrix, basically just like a series of codes and
numbers. And then they begin to expand
and build and enlarge. And then the chamber like fills
with a smoke and you can't see anything from it.
There's a capsule on the side of the chamber where this procedure
is happening that fills with like a, a a brilliant greenish
glow. And Doctor Magnolia removes it
and cautiously opens the door. A steam kind of billows out, and
standing before you is a fairly metallic robotic looking
creature, bipedal, resembling both Glade and guard of war
simultaneously. It's an iron valiance.
Congratulations. She seems like fully robot at
this point. Surely there's something organic
that you know? There's certainly some emotion
that Key Lime remembers and associates with you in these
adventures, but this is a very like mechanical, eerily
mechanical creature, and the metal that comprises its body
doesn't seem familiar to anything that you'd ever
recognize. It seems that it has lights
around its head, in its chest as well.
That's just kind of pulse with energy.
As Key Lime looks around with pixelated computerized eyes
absorbing the environment, Doctor Claude Magnolia will
remove the capsule and hand it to an assistant.
Who then hands it or just places it onto a counter that's beneath
it is a sleeping fox Pokémon that resembles the EV, but it is
red with Tufts of yellow fur and it's taking a nap and it seems
that is emanating warmth. Dr. Claude?
Claude. Magnolia asks.
That's fantastic. This is a very unique energy
signature. Very curious Pokémon you have
there. Thank you for your contribution.
Does anyone else have any Pokémon that they believe are on
the cusp of evolution? I might have two.
He says very well, who would you like to start with?
I'll start with Bud. OK, so you send out Bud.
Yeah. OK.
In his classic Bud fashion, Bud will emerge in the Pokeball and
be like, oh, wow, a new environment.
This looks like a laboratory. What are we doing here?
Are we doing experiments, research, science?
I'm so excited by all of this. I can't wait to learn.
Yeah, we're. Going to do research bud.
Bud, more or less. What does he say?
He's like yippee research. Like he's excited.
He's like running in circles. And Doctor Claude Magnolia says,
oh, this is a a very vibrant individual and he can speak.
That's fantastic, very intelligent.
So he kind of kneels down because Bud can speak.
And he says, would you do me the favor of entering that chamber?
And I'm assuming Bud would comply.
Yes. Yeah.
OK. I.
Would think so. Bud will walk in.
He can't stay still, though. He's just spinning around and he
says, oh boy, I can't wait to see what happens.
And Doctor Magnolia reconfirms your consent for the procedure.
Yep, good to go. OK, fantastic.
He flips a switch on a control panel and again the rays are
emanating in within the chamber and unlike key line there is a
very traditional classic, what you're used to, brilliant white
light that fills the chamber and empties into the capsule on the
side. The whole chamber fills with
smoke and he opens the door and out emerges something that
resembles Bud but with far more legs, somewhat of like a
proboscis like nose slash mouth that he's able to speak out of
and just a much more menacing figure, just a larger mushroom
body. This is in fact a toads
squirrel. And but says to Gimli, wow, I
feel like I've undergone a significant transformation.
And he like is holding up his tentacles and like looking
around and he says, without you, Gimli, I may have never achieved
this power. And he's certainly not pacing
around in circles all the time, but he's still very
investigative and interested and he's having a good time.
Yeah, mail it out a bit. That's nice.
Yeah. Do you leave him to observe or
do you recall him? Well, I'll leave him to observe
a little bit. Sure, we'll hang out.
Doctor Magnolia asks. You said that you had an
additional 1. Yeah, I I have AI have the
slowpoke. It seemed like the shelters were
attracted to his tail so I wasn't sure if that meant
something. Doctor Magnolia says Oh yes,
slowpokes do give off a pheromone when they're about
ready to evolve. Very curious though, Slowpoke
does in fact have a branching evolution.
So if if you are correct that your Slowpoke is an indeed ready
for evolution. If you would prefer to evolve
into Slow King, you would have to procure a King's Rock.
Otherwise it will evolve into Slow Bro.
Do I have a King's Rock? Hold on.
I might. I don't.
OK. What is a King's Rock?
It's a rock in the shape of a crayon.
Oh, in the shape of a crayon, yeah.
Crayon. Crayon.
I do not have one so. OK, Doctor Magnolia says.
Additionally, if you were in possession of Galerka twigs,
there would be additional forms that the slope hook may be able
to evolve into, but those are rather hard to come by.
King's Rocks are more common for sure.
Slipper is fine if that's if that's more than capable.
Doctor Magnolia says we'll give it a whirl and he replaces the
capsule on the machine with a new empty one to harvest the
Infinity energy and without giving, you know, excessive
detail. Once again the process happens.
Raise, bombard Gus the Slowpoke who isn't really realizing that
anything is happening. A brilliant white light fills
the chamber and and is siphoned into the capsule that Doctor
Magnolia removes, opens the chamber and standing before you
is a bipedal Slowpoke. Much harder looking, much
bulkier. And on its tail is some sort of
creature that is canonically understood to be shelter
somehow, but instead it's a spiky, spiny creature that has
appeared on slowpokes or I guess Gus's tail.
And Doctor Magnolia says it is quite peculiar.
While we are on the beach and in the ocean where I'm not sure how
these shelter are managing to find their way into this
evolution process, but they always managed to do so.
They always find a way. It's interesting.
Yeah, so you do in fact have a slow bro.
Congratulations. Who's next?
I kinda wanna. I don't know if Larva Star is
ready yet. You can always try it to see
what happens. Yeah.
What is Larva Star's? Level.
Eight OK, but I did give her the Exp.
Gordon. They watched the gym battle.
Right. Yeah, that's true.
So there's a little bit more there, hopefully.
Yeah, I'll let Larva star out and see where we're at.
You can have larva star try. Sure, Doctor Magnolia says.
Oh, Alarmistar, this one's constitution seems quite
formidable. Perhaps this one was bread.
Are you a competitive breeder? It was a gift.
The egg was a gift. Doctor Magnolia nods and says.
Well, whoever gave it to you as a knack for Pokémon breeding,
this is one of the healthiest Slurvesta that I've ever seen.
If you would sick, if you'd like to subject it to the procedure
and so we can harvest Infinity Energy, we are welcome to do so
if you're ready. I I hold out larva star like
look, look him in the eyes and be like, Are you ready?
Roll a Pokémon handling. Oh that's a 2 on the die.
My Pokémon Handling's +6. So 8.
Eight OK, great Larva Star does like swarm and wriggle and
squeal, but you can't interpret what it means.
You just aren't in that in touch with this little buggy guy.
But do you do? It's regardless.
We'll give it a try. OK, you put Larvestar on, the
chamber is subject to the rays and lo and behold, does begin to
glow a brilliant white light. It seems that the XP Gord and
the experience watching the gym battles was in fact sufficient.
And the chamber opens and you are greeted with a a a Hardy,
beautiful moth that is has a black Thor accent, white fur all
over its body and just brilliant red glowing wings that as they
flap, they produce heat and they drop like little scales or
spores that's give off intense heat.
And it is a beautiful, fantastic, impressive Volcarona.
Congratulations. Hell yeah.
Doctor Magnolia is thrilled. He says.
Oh, we haven't had trainers with with this many contributions in
a long time. This is fantastic.
Are there any other Pokémon that we can in trigger evolution for?
And I try blueberry. Sure.
What level's blueberry? I believe he's eight.
OK, double checking. Yes, confirmed 8.
OK, and was also watching like the gym battle and stuff right?
Right, he was taking notes. OK.
Yeah, very good. Did Patricia participate at all?
I don't think Patricia did, did she?
I know. I don't think Patricia did.
Actually. I just you're right.
Patricia was in the lineup, but it never actually hit the.
Right. Yeah.
Yeah, OK, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Blueberry, the fluffy altaria, or not Altaria.
Fluffy swab blue will be handed over to Doctor Magnolia.
And he says very well, a native species.
And we'll insert blueberry into the chamber.
And the procedure begins. A new capsule fills with
brilliant white light, and it was in fact sufficient.
This is about the same level that Patricia evolved into
Altaria. And the chamber opens and you
will see in fact another Altaria.
However, this one is very different from Schmidt's.
It reminds you closer to Tomatomas, but not quite.
It is incredibly fluffy. It's features of it's beacon,
it's towns are not nearly as predatory as Patricia's are.
It's a very cute guy, just really ready to to be fluffy and
sing it up. He kind of waddles over to LED
and is much larger now, potentially rideable.
Again, not as large as Patricia, but just a really splendid
Altaria to hang around with. Congratulations.
He's a cute guy. He's a very cute guy, very
charming. All right, fam, how do we I I've
been like not wanting to evolve basket because then basket's no
longer a basket. You don't have to evolve Basket.
Yeah, you definitely don't have to.
He'll have, I mean, if you do want to, he'll still have the
essence of basket. He's still basket on the inside,
right? Just imagine a colossal walking
around just carrying shit like it's tiny little snub arms.
It's like I just miscarry and stuff bro.
We we could try. I feel like we're going to need
the evolutions because why else would we be having this
opportunity if it wouldn't help us with our adventure?
Later I'll I'll send out Basket and see how they feel about it.
Sure. Yeah, You send out baskets.
You'd hand it over basket to Doctor Magnolia to check it out,
see if it works. Yes.
OK, Doctor Magnolia will usher Basket into the chamber once
again, load a new capsule up to the side of the device, and
subject it to the evolution raise.
However, this time it does not work.
It appears that Basket has not quite reached the evolution
threshold that it needs to achieve its final form.
Doctor Magnolia retreats, Baskin says.
I'm so sorry we were on such a hot streak, but it seems like
this one's just not ready. Fine, it's.
Fine. It's fine.
I'm not mad about. It's OK.
It's whatever. Any other attempts?
Trumpish isn't mine and I don't know if I would get in trouble
for just throw throwing Trumpish out.
I don't know if I want to deal with a garbage door right now.
When he throws up, it's fucking mad.
We all like die. Yeah, the room passes away.
Just comes on Thursday. It's like, does he throw up?
Like, oh God. So.
Trebish is like really, really little.
It's like Level 6. He's a little guy.
Doctor Magnolia says while we do have busier times of day, you
can always come by on a different day.
If you ever change your mind or want to try something new,
you're more than welcome. Additionally, this has been the
most successful collection of Infinity Energy that we've had
in weeks. I would like to offer a small
gift to you all as well as propose a sale if you enjoy the
product. He pulls out a small tray that
has four individual small little like Oval shaped little like
they look like tiny pieces of paper.
They're most of the blue may be a hint of green or yellow on
them. He says This is a product that
we are able to create using Infinity Energy and it is quite
expensive and quite rare and hard to come by.
But thanks for your contributions.
I'm willing to give you all a sample.
This is known as an ability patch.
This can unlock a Pokémon's hidden ability if you so choose.
Please collect these and if you if you would like to procure
more, we do create them here. However, they are a little
expensive. We produce them for 400 Pokémon
dollars. I need to review everything I
know. This hold on probably take the
rest of our session, but let's take some time think about it.
Is there anything that you want to ask about what it will do?
Because I know that this is all like new stuff here, so let me
know if anyone has any questions, I'm here to answer
them. Do we get to pick the ability or
is it just like the secret? It is Hidden one, it is the
Pokémon's hidden ability, and if you aren't familiar with that,
you could just ask me. You can use Wolipedia, you can
use Cerabe. They're all gonna be similar to
their end game effect, but not all of them will be identical
so. Jack.
Jack gets his hidden ability. No, it's like, go, go, go what?
Is we're. Doing yes, yeah.
But it would get more intimidate.
But yeah, we love these. It's truly want to.
You only have one free 1, so keep that in mind.
I will say bubble gum has been liquid voiceless and I have
hyper voice. That is true, but I do have
sparkling Aria now. I do have sparkling Aria now
though, so I do have another damaging watertight move but.
That oblivious is so good in. DME, that's all the thing.
Who? Who gets oblivious?
Slow bro, slow bro. Slow bro, right?
Regenerator would require switch out still.
I just typed in Patricia into the showdown builder.
That's. Awesome.
Just type in Patricia. That's so good.
So do we want? We want Oh my God, Words
intimidate Ensign. Perhaps that's good.
That's probably that might be your best option.
I'm not. Sure, double intimidate.
Although you could get solely with drought, which is really
good. Yeah, actually.
You could just like a torque. Yeah, that's probably really
good for you. Cuz also drought makes the hot
right? Yeah, it makes the hot hotter,
yeah. Well, no, it makes the hot and
then it makes my solar beam. Yeah, so I could.
Just have that that's. Probably the vibe as much as
like Incineroar with intimidates that iconic.
I think that's so much better for Soli to have drought.
I also Fang has intimidate. We got we got intimidate on the
field. Yeah, you already have
Intimidate. I guess it's fine.
And my dudes have such unique abilities that I like would not
change shell armor's like broken in this.
So like I would not change that it's so good in the.
Indy. The only thing I think I would
change is Liquid Voice. I think everybody else is good.
What is the? Alchemy role options.
I think it's a Roma veil which just I forget.
Yeah. I'll look it up, from what I
know it's useless in game. Well it prevents that which is
cool. So does it if you.
Like yeah, if you really want to decorate in Pokémon DND world I
it would probably I would buff it.
So if I do drought, it would be drought instead of flash.
Fire. It would replace.
It flash fire so I would then start taking damage from.
Fire moves fire, and you'd be strengthening them, but it'd
probably be worth it. Question mark.
I think so. To just be like, oh cool, I hit
the field. Solar beam.
And more fire. Damage too, and more fire
damage. Instant solar beam is really the
appeal. It's a solar beam and more fire
damage. That's kind of what we're at so.
OK, I'll slap that patch on solely.
OK, you may remove it from your inventory and I can send you the
description for drought and solely no longer has flash fire.
And instead, once you apply the patch, it kind of like sinks
into her fur and just disappears.
And then all of a sudden there's just intense heat in the room
and there's like a an apparition of like a, a sun like that is
high on the ceiling. And it seems that drought has
been activated. You recognize this effect
because Total does the same thing.
Any other applications at this time?
I've got options. You're welcome to hold on to it
too. Like that's the sort of thing I.
Just know it's gonna be a long discussion whenever I get
started. That's dirty.
So good. I just wanna make sure everybody
else has gone through theirs before I.
So I guess I'll ask, since Cindy, you already used yours,
are there any mods that you have that you're curious about that
you'd be willing to spend the coin on if you liked it?
No, I'm good. OK, you're just satisfied,
you're happy with? It Yep, we're chilling, OK.
Gimli, it's your turn. The only one I need to check on
it does Reginald have a hidden ability?
It does. It has sturdy.
Sturdy's really good in this format.
It has. Clear body?
Well, it has clear body by default.
It already has clear body by default.
Yeah. Sturdy would come up much more
often in this style of game. Yeah, yeah, Sturdy's insane in
this format. So that I might actually change
into because there's nothing else that's not appealing.
The only one might be Regenerator, but like that also
costs an entire turn, so it's like not actually as good.
Like you kind of just use your Pokémon for longevity.
So I. Would I would flavor it?
You can tell me if you'd like it or not.
I would flavor regenerator that once perlon rest when you recall
a Pokémon they are fully healed. Oh, that's pretty neat.
Cuz I think a third you just wouldn't switch that much like
it just. Isn't yeah that that's the issue
is like we don't switch in general that often, right?
It's better to like play it like it is like an in game type of
thing where you just keep your Pokémon out until they they go
down. So yeah, I think once prolong
rest on recall, I don't think you get to choose.
I think if they take damage and it's up in a long rest and you
recall them, they. Just yeah.
But like, Oblivious is immune to charms, taunts and
intimidations, which is so good in D&D it's insane.
Yeah, it is. Sturdy does come up a lot
though, because it's like, although Reggie taking that big
of a hit, it's kind of nuts. But I'll have to sit on that.
Like like, I don't think I'm going to apply it just yet to
anything in particular. OK, yeah, if you just want to
sit. On this, it's fine, yeah, Cuz
it's, it's between that and putting Sandforce on Trevor as
opposed to Sterdy, but Sterdy's really good.
Sandforce comes up because I have built in Sansort still.
Yeah, Yeah. But then it also overrides
strides like it's a little too complicated.
So I might not do it, but I'm gonna debate that between those
two. Yeah, no purchase of a new one
for sure. OK I guess LED cuz Trump wants
to go last. I think it's definitely between
Aroma Veil and Liquid Voice. Yeah, both of them seem really
good. You like you said you have
sparkling Aria though, but then like hyper voice isn't really.
Doing. Anything right?
So it's like. The damage for Sparkling Aria is
actually slightly more than Hyper Voice.
That's only because it's not stabbed.
STAB Yeah, Hyper. Voice Oh yeah, you're.
Missing the snap buff, what you would get from taking it to
liquid voice? Also, I only have 5 sparkling
Aria PPS and if I want to use it to heal too like it'd be nice to
have. Yeah, so you have the utility of
it and keeping liquid close would be pretty good.
Yeah, both, both are good. I think you kind of put
Premarina more online with with liquid voice still because how
many PP hyper voice like 10? 15. 15 yeah, that's a no brainer
then. That's so much like the damage
that you get access. To yeah, you can always.
Buy yeah, I think we'll go if you want.
That's yeah, you. Can buy, Yeah, you have the
money, right? I'm I'm pretty rich.
I have a little bit of money, Yeah.
I mean, mine might as well. It's 400 pokey dollars.
Yes. Might what do you think, gang?
Might as well do both, right? Yeah.
Like yeah, I think it's worth. I think it's worth.
I'm not going to spend that money elsewhere.
So like. Right, like it's the end of the.
Like the character with your riches you know it's the end of.
The right end of. The world does.
And for me it's like a debate if I even use mine at all.
Like that's where I'm kinda at like because my ability I like
most of my main party, their abilities are kind of just like
unique. Like they don't actually tailor
to those type of things. Like freaking bean has three
abilities like caked into it. So it's like, OK, I'm pretty
hard pressed to be like, oh, I guess this one will switch.
It's like, no, they're all kind of like perfect for this unique
Pokémon, so. Yeah, if you want to drop the
money, you can do both. I'll do it.
OK, Doctor Magnolia is pleased he says.
Thank you so much. This will greatly aid in our
research and, you know, using Pokémon and their powers to fuel
the future. Thank you.
I'm glad to help the establishment.
Please apply those patches, change your abilities.
I can send you descriptions later, but what it was Cabbage's
ability originally? What is it called?
Sweetvale. Sweetvale.
Yeah, Veil becomes Aroma Veil and Torrent becomes Liquid
Voice. Very cool, very fun.
Congratulations. That's true.
If we want, do we want Jack to have intimidate?
You could just get of intimidate.
I don't think Blaze does that much.
What is the description of Blaze?
Blaze. Is that like a 30?
When at 25% HP or less, this Pokémon double s its damage
bonus on Fire type attacks, but that also stacks.
It stacks with my When I'm at half HP it does more damage
because Cindy's got abilities, so it just does way more damage
when I get that low. And Cindy tends to live in a
pretty low HP, right? Does that confirm?
Depends. Depends.
It was, it was funnier because like most of that didn't come
through the microphone, but she was like, and I heard it from
downstairs. Do note.
That intimidate has been nerfed here.
It's still good. But it's a single.
Target and it's only. For the first turn doesn't last
right? Yeah, I I think Blaze makes
sense because I do stuff that kind of.
Also with flare blitz it's a good combo right do.
You have Flare Blitz. Yes.
Yeah. You kind of use that recoil to
put yourself in range, yeah. I don't like taking damage.
I don't have to what? Do you mean that's like your
whole entire shtick? Not intentionally.
You've literally built it like that.
Otherwise, why not use a divide if you don't want to lose HP?
Because I use HP naturally already.
It's true. Yeah, but Jack's just going to
keep shotgunning himself down. That's what you designed him to
do. I didn't design him to do
anything. You chose fab butts.
That's how it goes. I saw another damaging fire
move. That's true.
If it it doesn't do damage, I don't want it.
With the exception of baby doll eyes on solely.
I like how Cindy is a child and also he's played plays, plays
Pokemonic moves. It's great.
Yeah, yeah. That's just how I play Pokémon.
That's how she plays Pokémon. Is that not how you're supposed?
No, it's. Perfect.
No, it's perfect. No, it's perfect.
I think it's working out really well for me.
So I'm assuming you're keeping Blaze?
Yeah. OK, Schmidt time.
Schmidt Time OK Does Motor Drive do anything special in D&D
outside of what it does in Pokémon?
Motor drive. Give me a second.
Oh, is that Richie? Richie gets that?
Yeah. Very fun.
No, it's a move speed buff. OK.
And you're immune to electric. Gang, let's be real, I don't
think Toga P is ever coming back out-of-the-box.
No RIP omelet. Yeah.
RIP Omelet. It's a little too dangerous for
the little guy to come out. I'm sorry Kara Tokapi is not
getting super luck. Damn, but that's Quacko's son
and or daughter. Well, whenever times are
peaceful again, they can live a peaceful wife and Quacko can
take him to duck school and it'll be perfect.
What's what's Quacko's hidden? That's that's last on the list
we're getting there OK, this is weak armor do anything special
or is it also just a moose feed buck that's.
A tricky 1. So yes, it's a moose feed buff
and you also drop your AC and it stacks up to five times, which
if it's going to be good on anyone, it's going to be
Schmidt's Pokémon. But it's it's a little risk
reward thing for sure. Is that skarmory?
That gets that. That is Skarmory.
Yeah, got it. All right.
One of the big ones talk me through Gale wings.
Woohoo. Yeah, so priority is weird here.
It's weird to do. I think it would have a couple
different effects. I think for one time at the
start of combat, if using a flying type move, you can just
go first. It doesn't matter your
initiative role, but you wouldn't take your turn in your
actual turn later and it would only be like it'd only be town
flames action later in the initiative order when he gets to
Schmidt then his other action would pop, but at the start of
battle at full HP you get that additional.
Right. It'd be like T0, right?
Yeah, that's. Like a that's how I call it.
Cthulhu works. Yeah, it'd be like it's like a
surprise round for just for town flame basically.
Yeah. I would probably also just give
a generic plus one to flying type to hit.
Yeah, since it only works once. Yeah, Yeah.
Mm. Hmm.
Pretty cool or. Just to.
I like that, yeah. Surprise round decent.
Tom has been in the box a while and is pretty low level.
Talk me through protein. What Mon gets that?
Kecleon. Kecleon.
Yeah, yeah. Gosh, man, that's really cool.
Mons. What?
Yes. Yeah.
That's funny. It's kind of exactly what you
think. It's like color change, but for
yourself. I will come up with a
calculation where you just add more damage.
I'm not sure what exactly, but yeah, you use a move and you
change your type. OK.
Color change seems more useful. Yeah, especially with the skill
swap combo we've got. Yeah.
Yeah, and Gabriel doesn't really have a lot of coverage right
now. Yeah, it'd just be Thief and
Side Beam. I think I know one you're for
sure doing. We got a couple options.
We've got some bangers coming up is Cloud 9 just like it is in
the game? Yeah, which is useful, but also
might screw over your team a little.
Bit a little anti synergy yeah. And I think Patricia is still
fine as she is. What does she have natural?
She never uses it. Yeah, no, she she never
switches. She's always there to get the
kill. Yeah.
That's that's the issue with the switching.
Thing, Yeah, again, how often do we run into people that use
berries? Almost never right.
It's not super common. Does something get a nerve You
too right? Honestly, I think pressure goes
hard in this style of gameplay. I think that's really good
actually. Yeah, cuz so.
Many moves are like 5 PP, you know.
Yeah, that make it cost too is. A lot of moves are three PP, so.
As cool as multi scale is, I think I like inner focus on
Dragonite. OK, I was expecting that.
For the record, multi scale would be your first hit is just
half damage if you're at full HP.
Right, I don't know, they're not flunching in the immune to
intimidate. I like it, pretty cool.
Does rattle do anything special besides just move speed again?
Yes, I it is in fact changed. When hit by a dark bug or ghost
move, your next attack has advantage.
Well, we have runaway now, don't we?
It isn't that kind of sick. Runaway's kind of broken.
Hope can never be a target of opportunity attacks.
Yeah, yeah. No, that's broken.
It's kind of sick. So all of that just to get to
Quacko, talk me through Defiant. When suffering from a negative
status effect or stat change. So I'm going to incorporate like
poison and burn and stuff. It gains +2 to all attack roles.
Which would we factor that into crit?
I mean, might as well, right? You're always quit creating
anyways. It's into the the attack role
right? Not the damage.
Attack role correct? Quacko, don't be missing a lot.
It's. Kind of overkill, but also I'm
gonna be real Quacko's bulk definitely falling off like.
Yeah. Which we knew going into this.
So yeah, it's an option. Versus what Kenai?
Has that ever propped? It's inner focus I think.
OK. I have so many passes for Quacko
that I took that one off the sheet.
OK, yeah, well, it's the same as Dragonites, We only have one
more, which is moxie for Diana, right?
Shit, I haven't pulled up here at us yet.
Yeah, talk me through Moxie. Did you forget about Diana?
I did forget about Diana. We have Intimidate, which is
sick. That's true.
It's when you get a KO you get an action reset.
What? Action.
Reset. Yeah.
So you get one additional action every time you get a KO.
Shame. Yeah.
Holy shit. That's so sick.
We just like set it up so that Schmidt gets the last hit on
everything and then he just fucking balls.
Reaction. Yeah, yeah.
Holy shit, just. Execute everything just.
Make sure everything's flanked so that way they get the the.
Crits. Yeah, the crits, the bonuses,
all that. Holy fuck, I think I have to do
that. Yeah, I think that's gonna be
the one. OK, and then I think Schmidt
will How much money do I have? Oh, shit.
So it's 400. Yes, and you got exactly that
much from Tate and Liza, I think.
Oh, I don't think I added that. OK, yeah, Nope.
We'll just leave it as this then, and Schmidt will purchase
one for the road, just in case. Very good.
Love to see it. Doctor Claude Magnolia is very
pleased that everyone enjoyed their gifts, and he's very
pleased that you've contributed so much.
He asks if there's anything else that he can do for you all.
Yeah, I don't think so. OK, he will wave you off and he
says feel free to come back whenever you like.
And a whole host of fox Pokémon gather around him to wave
goodbye. As you might have guessed, it is
Evie, and all of the evolutions being Vaporeon, Jolteon,
Flareon, Umbreon, Espion, Glacion, Leafeon, and Sylveon,
as well as the EV that he is holding all usher you off.
It's about 5:00 PM in Moss Deep City.
The sun is setting is beautiful on the ocean coast.
What is your next plan of action?
Schmidt's gonna find a trash can, he's gonna throw away his
other two empty gulmosas, and then he's thrown his last. 1.
He's down to his last one. He's still drinking.
He's still going. Yeah, very good con check to
make sure you don't throw up in the trash can you?
Did beat me to it after. Drinking all those.
And smelling the trash, you are feeling a bit queasy.
Can Schmidt's stomach it down? DCE 13.
For Constitution, which has a + 2 because of his metal fucking
arm 16. 16 he passes, burps a little bit, doesn't spew and is
ready to tackle down that last drink.
It seems that folks are kind of starting to wind down.
Definitely when the beach beach is getting crowded, you notice a
peculiar white rock on the cliffside near the Space Center
that has a little plaque on it. And yeah, people are enjoying
their night. Any any final things that the
Packer wants to do? I don't think so.
I think we just retired for tonight, gang.
Sounds great with Schmidt Downing his last Gomosa and
somehow not getting sick, and after receiving significant
power ups to their roster and having a good time socializing
at Mr. Mimosas, that is where we will wrap the session.

So I'm 69. There's going to be a MILF in
that session, yeah. Exactly.
OK. Well I got 26 so no milfs.
Oh, it's coarse and it gets. Everywhere.
And it's rough, and it gets everywhere.
Unlike you. And then Cindy gestures Jack's
gentle face and says you're soft and smooth.
Enough, unlike you. That is what Anakin says about
Padman. Yeah, what is that now I'm.
Reaching with the riz. Little white voice.
Scary to me like rats. Have you guys seen that?
No, Oh my God, it's way funnier out of contact.
Yeah, they can still spill with a lid.
Yeah, I made the mistake of spilling an entire large Taco
Bell drink on my friend's porch 'cause it fell out of the
carrier. Oh wow.
Bob blasted everywhere. Yeah, Bob.
Blasted the porch. No.
Someone's got to do it in the porch.
And then Arqueus descends and blasts Schmidt in the face with
a judgement. We did it.
We summoned him. It worked.
Oh my. God, finally.
