Also, it's because Mokou generally looks like a guy, dresses like a guy, and overall acts like a guy.
Do not proclaim self to be male, but proclaim self to have no need of a boyfriend. Self can handle self.

Consider finding one of these things. And naming it Myon.
If it's a ghost, we might not be able to hit it with anything. Perhaps we could ask Patchy about this? (Assuming we don't already know?)
Oh, that reminds me, check what the little Pokedex says about this thing.
>"So Patch, remind me why you're after one of these again?"
> Consider the ethical issues surrounding catching something for Patch to research.
I doubt Patchy would do anything harmful to Myon. We probably don't have to worry.
Should we try to weaken the ghost first? I mean, it already seems to like us. That might not even be necessary. Perhaps we should just throw a ball at it - or, hell, just carry it around with us.

>"Well, to put it simply, y'know how you have to die to become a ghost usually? Well, let's just say that death's not a permanent part of me. Seriously. Want the proof?

Is there any possiblility that the lost camper has left out anything to help us find him? A signal, or so.
> Send out your own team, partly to show off, and partly to look around. Dash is pretty fast and can probobly search on it's own accord, after all, and send out some fire when it's found the guy, and Lighter can be your flare.
> What qualities do we specifically want? Besides fire, of course.
>And don't forget that his pokemon and ours can get acquainted too!
>"So, are there any of these guys that are like a Phoenix? Because that's kinda my thing, folks sometimes think I'm one on account of what I'm capable of, y'know?"
>Let's do that finger-lighter trick we did back at Falkner's.
>"But y'know, I didn't know you could find those guys like that. In extra-strength cute I mean."
> Actually, while we're at it lets ask him about what kinds of Pokemon we can find inside Union Cave.
> Question more about dragons. After all, you hail from Gensokyo, with that Dragon-god.
>Oh-ho and Moltres are legends? There were more of them?
>Look at our Lighter. To have a dragon as our first pokemon is great. Imagine him as a big scary dragon.
> Look up the pokemon in your pokedex, see which one appeals the most.
> Ask if any of them can use water attacks, after all, we do need *something* to put fires out, and bonus points if they can start them too!
>Chuckle. "No offense, but that sounds more like it'd suit someone I know better than me. I can never figure that Neet out half the time. I don't know if she's trying to be nice, or an idiot."
>Hmm....wonder where we can get that Garchomp....Or maybe Hydreigon, or Haxorus.
>"Huh, where can you get a Hydreigon? That thing seems like it'd be pretty cool."
> Slowpoke sounds like someone I know... *Think of Nineball*
>At our current state, it seems that Gyrdos is the easiest to get, with the stuff we want. We should get one of those anyway, we might need a water type pokemon?
>Add a new quest, Catch a slowpoke as a gift for someone.
>Sigh. "Ten to one odds says that's our guy. You get him back to the safe area, I'll hold off the bees, since he probably means Beedrill."
>Grin in our usual battle-happy way. "Which is just fine by me, I've been meaning to catch one."
>Shrug, while keeping that same grin up. "Well, don't say I didn't warn you then."
>Let's charge in with Lighter, Dash, and Edge!
>Eh, may as well! "Hey Lighter, go and help his Charmander out!"
>Flaming bees are worse than normal bees, if they're not fainting.
>Have Edge fight with the toughest looking bee in the lot, and catch it after its defeat.
>But not until we heal him up with a potion!
>Have Lighter graze the bees and light them on fire
>Let's call Lighter back then, and apply a potion while Edge does his thing.

>"Hey! If you're gonna stick around, then take care of the fire!"
>"You get that fire put out! I'll finish these off!"
>After slamming the two together, beat on the last one until it's catchable, then catch it.

>"Hey, do those antidotes work on people too?"

Our next destination must be Canalave. MAKE IT SO.

Yes, not Haunter. Maybe not Beedrill either.

Ask Sanae where the gym is, and if she wants to go there with us. Proselytizing must get boring after a while.
Ask if the evolution disproves Sanae's religion.
> Challenge Sanae to a warm-up battle, three on three. If we can't beat Sanae, who's not even after Gyms, we should reconsider challengeing the Olivine Gym, seeing as Falkner was apparently the weakest Jhoto Gym Leader.
Let's do the Sanae battle, but keep it light. We don't want our Pokemon to get seriously injured before the Gym fight!
That said, I don't know about the others, but I'm interested in testing Lighter's new abilities.

No, the Ranger doesn't count.
Ponder how such a large area functions with so many destructive creatures and not a single police officer. Seriously, that's incredible.
Also, let's not quite go all out, because this IS still Johto, and we DO still have rules here. Remind Sanae of that.

I think we're ready as we'll ever be, and we don't want to miss our ship tomorrow. So we should probably get the battle over with tonight.

> Check Myon's known moves
>Don't use either of them. This is two-on-two, right? So we can only choose one other, and Lighter can do far more damage.
I don't remember seeing such an agreement. If that is the case though, let Dash stay out to as much damage as possible before being sacrificed.
>GO with Pesco's plan
Also, yes, Jasmine said it would be 2-on-2.
>WHich is why Dash dodges it first. Avoiding the attack won't do much good if we can't KO the damn thing, and Flint won't be able to hit it very well.
>_
Flint could evade easily, but likely wouldn't be able to hurt the thing very well. Lighter could do damage, but would have a harder time staying in the fight, wheras Myon's likely somewhere in-between.
Thoughts? I'd say either Lighter or Myon; we won't get anywhere if we can't do damage.
Agreed. Myon would probably have an easier time not getting getting screwed because of his movepool and he could probably do ranged better. Also, Haunter's only ability is Levitate, which renders Earthquake useless.
I'd say we should go for Myon, but I'd like to see what other people think first.
> Agreeing with Myon.
Yeah, Myon.
Myon is the best. Seriously, we died when our dream was eaten, and possessed a powerful magician. Lighter's likely won't do any damage, and Flint won't do any
Though the dying was mostly due to us having a knife stuck in our head. :V
>"Think Confuse Ray'll get the job done?"
> "Also, you might wanna try and dodge when it decides to start chowin' down on you."
>We could be badass and ask Myon to spin around the dragonbreath and deliver a shadow punch to the face...
>Or we could fire a shadow ball and dodge the breath completely
>Chuckle. "You may be a bit of a jerk Myon, but that was actually kinda funny. Give 'im a taste of Shadow Ball, eh?"
I agree with the Shadow Ball. But make sure to let the Haunter know that dodging is paramount.
> "If you get the chance, try to get in a dose of Hypnosis as well."
>"Ghosts can go through stuff, yeah? Well, try hiding in the ground the moment it fires off that breath attack. When it stops, that's when you fire off Hypnosis."
>"So long as you don't kill it, you can have a snack."
>"Then hide in the walls or ceiling. You're a ghost, use that fact to your advantage."
>"Myon, take advantage of your disconnected arms to hit 'em with a Shadow Punch from behind!"
>"Tch, that thing's pretty durable! Myon, pull the hands back, and hit it with a Remote Shadow Ball!"
>"How many different ones are out there besides the ones you used?"
>"What do you know about Scizor? The name kinda struck me as odd. Is it a giant pair of scissors or something?"
>"But if it's strong, capable of handling the heat, and fast, then it's good for me."
>"Huh, they evolve from Scyther? That's pretty neat, because I have one."
>"Well, where's a volcano that I could find one of those Heatran fellas? I was considering heading towards Unova or something."
>Say Sinnoh, not Unova. We want to look for Keine in Canalave, remember?
>"And if finding Heatran involves diving into a volcano, well..."
>Make a small flame.
>"Let's just say I can take the heat."
>Say Sinnoh, not Unova. We want to look for Keine in Canalave, remember?
>Ask about the other two pokemon she mentioned.
I don't know about you guys, but I want a Steelix. We should grab one while we're in Canalave.
Sounds like a plan, it could be useful for later on, in the event that we need to swap out the Scizor that Edge will likely evolve to later on.
>"Don't worry about me. I kind of don't die."
>Grin. "Let's just say that I have a tendency to make the laws of nature sit down and shut up."
>If she continues to object, find a sharp rock or something, cut ourselves with it, and let her watch the wound heal.
Or better yet, have Haunter stab us again. That oughta get her attention.
>Yeah, that works better. Just a wound, though, not a kill; don't want to traumatize Jasmine too badly.
Says you!
But yeah... no killing this time.
>Roll our eyes in annoyance. "You overdid it though."
>Our heart was stolen! Kyaa~!
>Mind putting my heart back? Everything is getting blurry
>May as well hold on until we regenerate.
>Well, let's try and lug her off to the side so we can sit down and heal.
>"I'm fine and healthy."
"I won't die even if you threw me into lava."
>check for holes in our shirt. If our heart was ripped out... Then there shoukd be a rather large hole in it.
>Cover the hole up with one of our hand if it's seen.
>Put Myon back in the pokeball. "Yes, yes you did overdo it."
>"Nah, that's okay. Dresses aren't really my thing anyhow. I think I can find a new shirt in one of the stores around here, maybe something red."
>Sigh. "Sorry about the scare though, Myon has a tendency to overdo it. He's a real troublemaker y'know."
>Let's head there then, on the double!
>"Nah, I just need a replacement shirt, and some medical supplies for my Pokemon."
>"Some friend played some prank on me. I need a new shirt because it's too much to clean up, and it left a rather large hole..."
>How much are clothes? If they're not that much, maybe we can have like... 3 or 4 pairs of shirts just in case one goes into ruin.
>Use some potion on our Dash if we got any on us now. Even if it treats a little, it'll be great.
>Just what exactly would we need to treat Dash?
>Buy 5 pokeballs while we're shopping a bit
>While we're here, we could wear this world's fashion. A change in image wouldn't hurt... And I say that we should probably get a change of pants too.
>Have a look at whatever red tops are there. Maybe get a look at the jackets too.
>Number 2 top with number 1 pants. Number 2's top looks better, but the pants seems to be too tight.
>Let's get some red and cool looking shirts that's not a part of an outfit as well.
The price limit on clothes would be 10,000 PP. Any objections with the amount?
Works for me, we can always go pick fights with random trainers to get more.
>The selection for all of the shirts are bad choices. Might as well save the money for another chance, or we can buy the other outfit as well.
>If this is everything, go to the counter and buy the clothes, then go to a pokemon center. Changing can wait for a bit, its better to have Dash treated right away.
Yeah, I'm good with this.
>Let's swap to the new outfit, and head to the lobby to meet up with Jasmine. Maybe we can even squeeze in some time for Sanae too, if the discussion isn't that long.
>Grin. "Figured I was due up for a new look anyhow, it's literally been ages since I had a style change y'know. Couldn't just up and ditch the pants though, they're fireproof y'know."
Great that Jasmine knows our pants are fireproof, but let's ask her how prepared we should probably be for spelunking as well. Also, let's heal our pokemon up, we might have enough time to beat up Sanae.
>"Thought I told you. I can't die even if you kill me."
>"You got a point there."
>"What happens if a pokeball break while a pokemon is inside of it?" This is for Sanae and anything else that could damage our balls.
>"Umm.... To be honest, this is my first time in this region... What are the laws like here?" to keep ourselves out of trouble.
>"Say that if I were in a physical fight with someone, would I get in trouble?"
>"Hey, it was her idea. She was recently in Hoenn, and apparently stuff like that's common there."
>Perhaps we should tell her the person's identity?
>"I see. But what if it breaks while the pokemon is inside it? Will the pokemon come out?"
>"What if it was by mistake or force?"
>"Well... I was considering going to Hoenn, and I heard from a person that fights there were rather violent. I wanted to make sure if the pokemon would be safe when a ball breaks..."
>"I assume that the lock can be fixed?"
>Facepalm. "I've seen some crazy people in my near-endless time, but those guys take the cake. Maybe I'll go clean their clocks if I ever head over there, because you need both in a balance."
>Fights over between the ocean? It's fine the way it is, so there's no need to change it...
>"Oh right... Theres a person that I came here with saying something about team rocket."
>"So lemme get this straight, the rockets are sorta good, if quite undesirable?"
>Grin. "An army huh? Been a few months since I went up against one. So I may as well smack a few of those guys around while I'm there."
>Sigh. "Well, don't blame me if some of those rockets end up out cold in a ditch somewhere if they start hassling me. It's only natural that I pay 'em back for being an annoyance, eh?"
>"Ah well, fanatics just irk me, so I'll probably end up smacking those Aqua and Magma guys around more.:
>Pause. "Wait, what's this Plasma group anyhow? You mentioned them earlier, are they like Aqua and Magma too?" Chuckle. "Don't tell me I've got more fanatics to bust up."
>Current Time?
>Nod. "Yeah, though they'll learn to not pester a girl like me."
>"Unova huh? Well, I'll smack them around if they pester me while I'm there. Who knows, maybe I'll even end up finding their leader. It's a pretty safe bet that if their leader gets smacked around enough, the mooks will give up."
>"Has there been any trouble recently, involving any of the said gangs?"
>We should give this information to fellow people from Gensokyo.
>Let's roll to the meeting place!
>Sanae first. She can spread the word too
>Wait. Before we leave...
>"...About the steel types. You would'nt happen to know any, well, much rarer ones, would ya? Maybe something that would... Suit me?"
>Nod. "Sure, that way we can keep each other posted on things and so on."
>Let's Numberswap!
>If it's staring at her, it must be a Pokemon! Time to scan it with the Pokedex!
>After pokedexing it, approach it slowly and poke one of it's hole. It seems harmless.
>Surprise sanae too
>Back away from Sanae a bit. It seems she wants to capture it?
>"Sensative little critter, isn't he?"
>"I don't think you can capture it like that."
>"Let me try it." Send out Lighter and have him use ember in one of it's holes.
>"I think you couldn't get it is because it's not weakened at all... I know a friend that can help probably, though she uses steel..."
>Wait... Could that rock around It be steel?
> "Well if it's restoring the damage why don't we try putting it to sleep outside of Rest?"

>Have Myon unpossess Sanae. We can't have her being angry with putting a god into an awfully small ball.
Oh man I wonder what will happen whenever she sees Arceus. I want to laugh at her so hard.
>But get Myon to make Sanae expose her armpits before unpossessing her.
> Call him back. Curse still works after the Pokemon that inflicted it either faints or is recalled right?
>Would have been funnier if she did something more extreme...

>"Nothing happened. You were just showing off your armpits earlier. I think it excited Haunter, so he's put away."

>No we don't.>After leaving Sanae, kill ourselves for even having that thought come across our mind.
>No we don't.
>After leaving Sanae, kill ourselves for even having that thought come across our mind.
>Chuckle. "I gotta admit though, I dunno what possessed you to do something like that, getting Myon all riled up. He's pretty dangerous when he's riled up y'know. Even killed me once."
>Answer to the question: so Sanae won't freak out that we suddenly killed ourselves right in front of her.
>Look at our armpit... How can it be fine? And whats the point in doing that?
>"Heh, guess so. But that's a pretty dangerous way for a person like yourself to live. That is, someone who can still die. Leave the heroics to someone who can't die."
>Would we understand it if we tried such fashion ourself?
>"Anyway, we should get the battle done quick. I'm getting kinda tired now."
>"Its been cursed, so it's easier to catch it now. When Lighter had it, it seemed like he was in a lot of pain until I called him back

>"Don't mind Myon. He likes to get on peoples bad side."
> "Be thankful he's not doing worse, like insulting your gods, or your armpits."
>"He's a rowdy one he is, you wouldn't believe the trouble I had after catching him. But, I'd like to think he listens at least a little."
>"Well, should we battle now? I would like to sleep in a warm bed tonight."
>Bop Myon over the head. "That's enough of that." Then put him back in the ball.
>"Anyhow, let's get this started, how about 2 vs 2? Since we're both looking to get to bed after this."
>Grin. "Oh? So that's how we're gonna battle, eh? I can get behind this."
>Who do we currently have available, aside from Myon and Lighter?
>"Ahh sorry... I wont be able to fight now. We can always do it another time, though..."
>"Given how Myon's a dangerous one, I don't always like to use him, and I haven't forgotten how Flint fared against your Ekans."
>"Guess we can fight tomorrow then. Let's get back to the center."
>Share intel we've gotten about region and gangs with Sanae.
>Call Cirno. Maybe she got her phone fixed or replaced. If not, call Kaguya.
Bug the NEET, it IS 11:30 pm after all! Also make it clear you have your second badge, and hint that you know where to find someone you know, and she is stuck with Cirno.
>Call Patchy after.
Bug the NEET, it IS 11:30 pm after all!
>for Kaguya: "Yo, ran into any bees lately?"
Also make it clear you have your second badge,
hint that you know where to find someone you know
>"I heard of a really good place to get some awesome pokemon, and I wont be telling you."
hint that she is stuck with Cirno.
>"Hows fairysitting?"
>We should make sure to talk to Cirno, too, if only because she may give us more info about what Kaguya's been doing.
> Hope there is some horrible accident, possibly involveing a GyaradosOr Murasa but you don't know her, that causes the boat to sink.
> Remember this wouldn't work because they can fly.
> Ask Cirno how the Slowpoke is doing, and what she's caught besides said Slowpoke.
> "So, not beaten Misty yet NEET?"
> Make a note to avoid Explody.
> "Wait, so Cirno beat you in a battle NEET? You lost to a fairy?! *Insert laughter here*
>"Wait, twice, and you lost to a fairy?! Damn NEET, you really have fallen far!" Laugh long and hard.
> Ask if Squirtle or Bulbasaur have evolved yet.
> And the fairy beat Misty as well! How humiliateing!
> Note that Cirno is actually pretty smart when it comes to battleing with what she pulled off in that double battle.
> Ask how Kaguya got the Thunder Badge seeing as she can't even beat Misty. She might let a new catch slip!
If only her taste in nicknames was as good.
Soul Badge, I don't think that's a name we recognize. Ask Cirno about it.
>"Met anyone else from Gensokyo? I've so far only encountered about three others other than you and the bamboo cutter."
Tell Cirno that Explody really is a good name, and she should use Explody more often, because it's such an awesome-sounding mon.
In other words, troll Kaguya.
>"You should take Explody around with you more. Kaguya's just jealous that she couldn't have as awesome of a pokemon as you do."
>Chuckle a little. That fairy just earned a little more respect.
Consider Kaguya trolled.
Let's not talk to the stupid NEET any longer. Patchouli sounds like the more interesting call.
>"Is your refrigerator running?"
> Add that Marisa is being smuggled to Jhoto by Alice, so Alice might bring her cargo to you.
>"Yo, I heard Alice tied up Marisa pretty good."
>"Got some funny news for ya too, Apparently that fairy's a better battler than we gave her credit. She actually beat the NEET with some kind of clam thing, and a Voltorb. Last I was talking to them, I'm pretty sure said Voltorb decided to explode on 'em."
> Maybe we should mention the fairy is Cirno, Patchouli might know her, you know, since fairies pull pranks on people, she might be a victim.
> Ask if she knows Sanae.
> Ask what she's been up to.
>"Hey, what did she mean by threesome?"
>tell Patchy what we learned about the gangs.
"That'd be Team Rocket. I hear they're not exactly the best people, but they're tolerated for some inane reason. I'm considering heading over to where Aqua and Magma are to bust some heads once I've wrapped up here in Johto."
> Aren't we heading to Canaleve to see Keine?
"That'd be Team Rocket. I hear they're not exactly the best people, but they're tolerated for some inane reason. I'm considering heading over to where Aqua and Magma are to bust some heads once I've wrapped up here in Johto."
> Aren't we heading to Canaleve to see Keine?
I thought we were. Afterwards, though, we can go kick some Team Aqua and Team Magma ass.
Yeah, that's AFTER we find Keine.
> "You're crazy." Patchouli says.
"I've been told that before. Never stopped me then, no way I'm letting it stop me now."
> You're forgetting who you're talking to. Surely that maid and vampire mentioned me to you? I kinda have this thing where I don't die.
>"Well, I'll wrap up here, find Keine, then go bust those wackos up."
> "I remember that. They said you were crazy too. Although from Remi I think that's a compliment."
>_
> Well, I do live and breathe to kill another immortal, and humans usually don't live for 1000 years, so I guess I probobly am a little odd compared to other humans, but I assure you, I'm still sane. Not too sure about Myon.
We'll want to be going to bed early enough to catch the ship. I say we do it now.
>Chuckle. "I seriously doubt he'll go for that. He's a stubborn one. It'd be like trying to talk that ice fairy into following, impossible."
>"Trust me on this one kid, I've been around a lot longer than you."
Yes, let's. I don't want to miss Keine.
>Use Dash as a mount and hurry!
Let's be our immortal uncaring self and interject, asking "Okay, what's going on?" as we stride into the middle of the argument!
If no one minds, I'm going to take a page from a certain book I read, where the main character stops two armies by giving such a flashy display of power in between them that they can only stare in awe.
With that in mind, if we're already in the middle of them, I recommend shooting a, oh, 100-foot burst of flame up into the air and shouting out "SHUT UP!!" at the top of our lungs. That oughta stop 'em.
>Take the nearest guy with an R by the collar, and do the same with the nearest guy with an M, and 'introduce' them to each other, the 'fun' way.
>"Arrite, what're you kids arguing about now?"
>Take the nearest guy with an R by the collar, and do the same with the nearest guy with an M, and 'introduce' them to each other.
>"Listen up you slugs, can't you see that your bickering is disruptin' the peace?!""
Revel in how awesome we just were.
>Shrug. "I heard those guys were bad news, but sheesh. They want to make the world drier, but they can't even handle a little fire. Buncha wimps. Back where I'm from, they wouldn't even last an hour."
>Grin. "Either that, or they'd pass out from over-excitement. Most humans tend to get like that when they end up where I'm from."
>Nod towards the stuff that was being unloaded. "So, what're you guys unloading anyhow? Supplies? Art? Art Supplies?"
"No worries, as long as my ship leaves on time, I'm good. There's someone in Sinnoh I don't want to miss. I'm sure you understand." Grin at the man.
>"And besides, when you've been around as long as I have, you learn how to bust up fights. "
>Start to head away, then look back over a shoulder. "Ah well. See ya around then, kiddo." Now we keep walkin'.
>They'll get solved soon enough, once we bust up Aqua, Magma, and maybe any other annoying group that pops up.
>See anything that we never saw?
>any entertainment on the ship?
> Battleing on the ship with our Fire-types is very likly a bad idea then.
> Consider the possibility of catching a Magikarp while sailing. Ask if we want to.
> Consider the possibility of catching a Magikarp while sailing. Ask if we want to.
> If anyone else agrees, I'm all for fishing off the deck. We should probably get a water-type sooner rather than later anyway.
I'm in for fishing. Catching a magikarp and turning it into a big scary water dragon is benefitcal.
>Let's pull the line up then!
> Make sure it dosen't get away.
> Get ready to send out Sting, whatever we named our Scyther [I forgot] or Flint, as they're probobly the most advantaged we have against something stuck on the ground, that isn't likly to go on a homocidal ramage in the boat and scare everyone.
> Just checking, current party is Lighter, Dash, Flint, Myon, Scyther and Sting, right?
>Sweatdrop. "A...Crab..?"
>What moves does Sting currently know?
>"Alright, try hitting it with Fury Attack! But keep your mobility in mind!"
> Decide this seems pretty awesome too, and is worth not being a Magikarp that can become an awesomedos. After all, at the very least this thing seems VERY sturdy.
> Move back, dart in and out, see who tires first.
>"Sting, use Agility, then follow it up with Rage!"
>Call Sting back, and send out Edge. "Alright, your turn Edge."
>What moves does Edge have?
>"Alright Edge, use Agility, then follow it up with X-Scissor!"
>"Alright, Quick Attack, followed by another X-Scissor!"
>"Heh, you're one tough cookie! I like that!"
>We'll call Edge back, and swap in Myon. "Alright Myon, you're one of the stronger members of the team, so I'm counting on you to help bring this guy in. Hit it with Confuse Ray, followed by Hypnosis."
>"Let's hope it's weak enough to catch now! I haven't run across a guy this durable since that Steelix."
>Let's try the Premier Ball!
>Steelclaw. Because he was hella tough, like steel.
>"Alright Myon, that was a good one." Put Myon back in his ball.
>Wave back to Sanae. "Yo. Just bagged a Kingler!"
> I presume Steelclaw's ball has gone poof.
> It's supposed to go to the storage system though, isn't it?
> We might wanna call up Oak and ask what's what.
>"Yeah, there's something weird going on. I just caught a 7th pokemon, but don't the rules say I can only carry 6 at a time? Well, the 7th isn't heading to storage."
>"Yeah, that's me. Oh, so that how it works."
>"Anyhow, glad to hear she didn't make off with anything too serious. She tends to steal research materials from what I hear."
>Fish again. Lets try our luck on a water dragon!
>but store Kingler first.
>Then, FISH MOAR.
Because to be honest I am looking for more a Relicanth or Feebas then a Gyarados. Hurrdurr. But whatever you guys want.
Don't think we'll find any Feebass here, but if we're going to Hoenn next (I believe beating the crap out of Aqua and Magma is on our to-do list), then yes, let's go after one while we're there.
>Pokedex that thing!
>Pokeballs in inventory
>Look upon it in awe of its majesty
>Send out Flint
>Have Flint peck it a few times
> Decide if this is really worth it.
>Can we check if the Magicarp's level is near the required evolution level?
>"Whoa. At this rate, the whole team's gonna evolve by the time I find Keine."
>Let's keep an eye on things for a little bit.
>Let's pull out the pokedex then! May as well see what moves it's got now too.
>Let's call Flint back, and bring in Myon to check that Magikarp.
>"Hey, how close is this thing to evolving? Because if it's not, then this was just a waste of time."
>"Just the strongest one in it's school is fine. I hear Gyarados are temperamental, so I don't wanna risk sinking this ship."
>Pass the Magikarp back off to Myon.
>"Maybe for you, but I'm kinda trying to get somewhere y'know. Can't get there if the ship's wrecked y'know."
>Let's go at it one more time!
>"Heh, now this is more like it! Myon, hit it up with Confuse Ray and Hypnosis!"
>Once Myon does that, toss a pokeball at it.
>"Tch, stubborn one, ain't he? Hit it with a Shadow Punch, but avoid knocking it off the ship, or knocking it out."
>"Because if it's too beat up, it won't be any use. Think a little why don't you?"
>Is it weakened enough so that we have a reasonable shot at catching it?
>Let's try another ball then!
> The ball shakes twice and snaps shut. You caught a Magikarp! Give a nickname to the newly caught fish?
>_
>Biggun. Because it's the big fish. And it'll be your 'Big Gun' when it evolves.
>Lake or Hudson
>Try fishing one more time. It wouldnt hurt to see other type of water pokemon
>Damnnnnn
>Fight it.
> With what pokemon?
>_
>OURSELVES
>Probably Myon again.
>GO MYON RAWR
> "Myon, try and put it to sleep!"
> "Damn. Try confusing it instead."
> "My bad!"
> "Alright, now slug the thing with a Shadow Punch, but make sure it doesn't go over the side."
> Dodge, Myon, DODGE! Also, see if he can hypnotize it now.
>Remember to go talk to afro guy after this.
Why? Because Mirror f***ing B., that's why.
>Can we give it a solid punch and not throw it off board before we throw a pokeball at it or something.
>Yes.
>DESTROYER
BECAUSE KINGDRA
>Name it later?
> If we don't wanna be tough
> Just apologise.
>Don't take the 'tough' approach. That afro is awesome.
>"Sorry about that. Sometimes it's tough to control exactly what happens in a battle."
>BEFORE WE DO THAT...
>Dance if he actually really just wants to dance.
>Because Mokou Dancing is best dancing
Since he's going to speak in theme, let's do so too!
"All right, if you think you can take the heat."
Let's begin with Lighter!
>"Heh, alright. Flint, takeoff!"
Oh.
>"Alright, try Slash!"
>Call Lighter back, and send out Flint. "Alright Flint, your turn!"
>"Airborne! Don't get hit!"
>After it dodges, have it use that new pecking move.
>"Pull out of the dive and evade! Then mirror it!"
>"Once more! Mirror Move!"
>Snap once. "Flint, into the clouds!"
>"Now dive and use peck on 'im!"
>"Pull up and give it a gust attack!"
>"Dodge, dive, peck!"
That Miror. B is good, if a bit of a bunny-ears lawyer. Let's ask him where he's going,
and if he has any tips for a new trainer.
> Ask if there's anything you can do to set the stage for fire types.
>"Ah, like how my Ponyta got charged up when I was trying to get some of those goons from Team magma to cool their heads....By lighting theirs on fire. It ended up getting socked by some stray flames, and ended up all supercharged."
>Ask about Magikarp.
>"I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I have heard those guys can get pretty rowdy. But they can't be much worse than some of the people I've had to deal with back home."
>Chuckle just a little. "Trust me on this, they're a rowdy bunch they are."
>So many people thinks its useless. Wait til it's a sea dragon. D:
>"Is there anyway to keep ghosts under control?"
>"Nope, just a visitor of this place."
>"Just some far away place. A somewhat friend of mine made me go on this adventure."
>Grin a bit. "But I gotta admit, this place sure is fun. Haven't had this much fun in...Oh, a couple decades I think."
> "Well, I hope your enjoying yourself, missy!"
> "A couple years ago I used to run Pyrite in Orre, but then I got the boot! I guess my style was too much for them. Still, I've had more fun as a wandering, dancing fool then I ever did as a kingpin." The man adjusts his glasses. "You look young to have had your glory years decades ago."
>_
"Haha, I've been around a lot... a lot longer than anyone knows. Trust me on this, it's not easy to demonstrate."
>"Bo-what?"
>"I don't age."
>"And my hair has been white."
>"As strange as that may seem."
"Different tastes for different people, I suppose. You understand how that works, yeah?"
>How close are we to Sinnoh? Do we know?
Let's walk around the ship a bit and see if we can spot any other fire-type trainers.
Let's try calling Cirno. But first, get far enough away so that the other one won't hear us.
"Hey, Cirno, can I get you to do something for me real quick? It won't take long at all, I promise."
"I just need you to take out Explody and show him to Kaguya. Okay?"
Brace for explosion, then stride calmly into room. If explosion does not happen, stride in anyway, because we are Mokou.
This is fine too. Boot Kaguya for lack of awareness.
Then ask what she's doing.
(I know, I'm a mean Mokou. Oh well?)
>Yeah, like we're falling for that.
>Scorch the ball a bit. Not enough to melt it, but enough to trigger a reaction (preferably an explosion) if it's actually Explody (or any other Pokemon, for that matter).
>Assuming it does turn out to be a Pokemon:
>"Did you really think I'd buy you giving me something?"
>To Cirno: "I assume you were about to say that the 'ball' was Explodey. Trust me, I saw that one coming."
> Just say "Hi Explody." We kinda don't want explosions on a boat.
>Do we have any rope?
>If so, tie it around the ball , light the knot, throw it and say "That change in your attitude Kaguya. Seems almost...[wait for explosion] Explosive." If there's no explosion, change the last word to "surprising".
Let's not explode Explody. As much as it would be fun to mess with Kaguya like that, we'd probably get caught in the blast, and that probably would NOT be fun, no matter how fire-resistant we are. Instead, take the pokeball and say "How dumb do you think I am, NEET?" Then give it back to Cirno.
>Grab the 'Pokeball' and immediately toss it back to Cirno before it can explode.
>"You didn't really think I was that dumb, did you, Kaguya?
>If she blames Cirno: "Please. You giving me something is already a red flag."
>Let's give her something else to worry about, then.
>"Hey, what new Pokemon do you have? I've got a few. I'm barticularly fond of this one."
>Send out Sting.
>Sting go improvise intimidate because you can
>Stare for a few seconds, then start laughing derisively. "With a spoon? Man NEET, you sure are confident in yourself today, aren't you?"
>Chuckle a bit. "What say we do the usual after we make landfall, eh?"
>Chuckle., then grin in our usual cocky way. "Nah, I'm worried you'll end up getting pounded through it."
> Still a Bulbasaur? You're so far behind NEET.
>Chuckle a bit. "Who said anything about our pokemon being the ones to fight?"
>Grin. "Don't wanna get too rusty, y'know?"
>"If we do that you'd have no chance of winning. Whats the fun in that?"
>Grin. "After all, you lost to even the icecube."
>Grin more. "But have you evolved any of your pokemon?"
>Grin. "Oh, little of this, little of that."
>Smirk. "Since you're so interested, how about we head out to the deck and have a double battle?"
> You show Kaguya your beedrill. Kaguya winces. "Y-You think a little bee can scare me?" Kaguya says with a tremble. "I-I bet that thing couldn't sting it's way out of a paper ba-KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME OR I'LL KILL YOU!" She picks up a plastic spoon and brandishes it like a knife.FUCKING YES
>"Battling, of course. How else?"
>Add to Hanzo's suggestion "Why, did you get yours from a market?"
>What pokemon do we currently have that we can use that are mostly undamaged?
>We can use potions on sting, right? If so, use enough to get both Sting and Myon up to par.
>Send Dash out first. Since its in best condition, it should be able to fight the best. Save Myon and Sting for what else the NEET has. Best to find out what we're facing before sending our pokemon out.
>send out Myon. He's more fit to fight right now.>Have Kaguya streak around the ship. Humiliating defeat indeed
>Have Kaguya streak around the ship. Humiliating defeat indeed
>Have Kaguya streak around the ship. YES.
> "Ah, so that Zubat nineball mentioned evolved?"
>"Myon, use Hypnosis on the Bulbasaur. Dash, brace yourself!"
We gotta clear our heads. Pain will do that.
Light ourselves on fire.
We might burn down the ship if we do that. Blow up our hands instead.
>Since when can our Ponyta can talk?
>"Myon use your stomp!"
We gotta clear our heads. Pain will do that.
Light ourselves on fire.
We might burn down the ship if we do that. Blow up our hands instead.
Yes. Do this. Afterwards, be sure to have invisible narrator say "Mokou hurt itself in its confusion!"
"Myon, while the Golbat's distracted, hypnotize it as well! Dash, give that Bulbasaur a nice barbecue!"
>Get Myon to take control of Bulbasaur. Have it to use its whip against Golbat. While it's distracted, have Ponyta either stomp or ember.
If it's up high, we probably won't be able to hit it with anything physical. However... "Myon, take that Golbat out with Shadow Punch! Dash, ember the bulbasaur again!"
>"Myon, finish the job with Shadow Ball!"
>Go say 'hi' to the one with the whip. That seems like it's probably fairly unusual.
Discussing our immortality has only gotten people confused. So let's just roll with it.
"The finest magician you've ever seen. And I'm pretty good with fire to boot. How about you?"
>Grin. "Magicians never reveal the secrets to their tricks y'know. Besides, it's just a little parlor trick back home, Helps with hangovers and the like too, but let's just say that it takes a certain special something to be able to pull it off right."
>when was the last time we read?
>If for a very long time, then let's read this world's literature.
> Check out that newspaper.
>...
>Who the hell would blow up a lake?
>"Sheesh, things are crazier here than they are back home."
>Yeah, but nobody ever gets killed except for Us, Kaguya, and the Fairies. And we know how well that sticks.
>Ah well, let's meander back out onto the deck.
>Maybe, but neither shrine maiden is likely to kill anything but a fairy.
>Push Kaguya into the water.
>Light the vine on fire.
>"Already got plans. Heading to Canalave, then going on an ass-kicking spree in Hoenn."
>Take a deep breath...
>Give a girlish horrir expression. "H-Help! She's gonna murder me!"
>Might be useful to have the little idiot. If nothing else, she'd make good bait. Especially since she's dumb enought to act as bait willingly.
>"You, maybe. Kaguya, no."
>Keep an eye out for Kaguya's next attempt to get up. If she flies, whatever, but if it's something we can easily interfere with, then do so.
I know Kaguya would like it, and that's a very good reason not to do it, but... we should take Cirno with us. But in the meantime, let's explain to her: "No, Cirno, we do all that stuff because we really DON'T like each other. It's kind of complicated, so I don't expect you to understand it. A lot of people don't."
> Do we know why some points are circled?
> Consider doing some recon regarding the gym. The Library could probably wait until tomorrow.
>Ask about Sendoff Spring
>And Mt CoronetBECAUSE GIRATINA
>Shes show our tiny fairy person our Myon.
>accidently hypotize her and have her act like a frog
>Take Myon aside for a bit.
>"Don't worry about causing lasting harm, she doesn't die either. She takes a bit longer than me to revive though."
>"Just don't overdo it now, okay? Even a Fairy like her has limits. That, and we don't want to cause a scene. I'd like to keep a low profile y'know."
>"If you happen to see Kaguya, though, feel free to go nuts with her."
>"Make sure you bring her back, ya hear?"
>Do we know where a PC is? If we do, head there real quick and add the crab and our Magikarp.
