Howdy all!

Anyone is free to sign-up and join Me in this roleplay. The plan I have so far worked out is that Sebastian will set his sights on taking on Maxy Z in his first gym battle, however there will be a build-up to it. After arriving in Fidona, Sebastian's Magby and Elekid will run rampant on the island and cause damage to the forest, thus getting Sebastian fired up and wanting to punish the pair for the innocuous behavior. Sebastian ends up falling into a trap where he is taken captive by native's of the island and held hostage. This is where things would get interesting! Whomever joins this roleplay will play the hero in saving the most unlikely of victims. Sebastian will not thank the character for their help, but will offer them to a battle. Sebastian allows Magby and Elekid to prove their worth, in which case they fail to win a double battle. This leads to Sebastian abandoning them after 'Your' character has left the scene. Nearby in the forest is a very rare Cranidos who has been keeping a close eye on the events that have taken place, it is intrigued by Sebastian and wants to battle. Sebastian wins the battle and captures the Cranidos.

This is very much a work-in-progress and the events can be altered with some helpful feedback from anyone and everyone!

I'd like to join with http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=52049. My only problem is that my strongest pokemon is a good five levels weaker that your weakest pokemon. Is there a way I can still fit in with the level difference?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Aug 25 2014, 12:28 PM

I'll add Scott into the mix. His Espeon and Umbreon just evolved, so he is looking for a battle to see how good their new abilities are, and having the two Pokemon running rampant o the island followed by a kidnapping is sure to get a Ranger like him called in. I'll probably leave Amber out, part from maybe phone conversations.

Ruby is strong enough to give most of Seb's team trouble while Ebony and Scarlet are more in line with Kaya's team, so the battles should be somewhat even. I'm really curious as to how Scarlet's short-distance teleporting will influence the battles.

I am concerned that this is a bit too much for one roleplay, though...... the kidnapping stuff and the battles after it will probably take a while, so you might want to save the gym battle for a second roleplay.

Posted by: Hydra Aug 26 2014, 01:22 AM

Okay, so we have three people now in this roleplay, that's great news! I'll take your advice 7E and save the gym battle for my next thread instead. I'm not sure about the battle between Seb and Kaya just yet, however one with Scott sounds realistic. Maybe instead of Seb abandoning the two pokemon, Scott could put a clause into the battle that they be released into the wild if Seb loses? We can continue to work this out piece by piece before we get the thread started and rolling, so let's get cracking! I'd like for us all to aim to be as active as possible in terms of posting so we can get this thread done without much hold-ups, but we will just have to wait and see.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Aug 26 2014, 10:24 AM

I don't think forcing someone to abandon their Pokemon is something a ranger would do, but that did give me an idea. If Scott wins, he could give Seb the choice of either paying a fine for all the problems they've caused, or he could send them to...... whatever it is called. Behavior school? They could remain there for a few RPs and maybe evolve if you decide you want them back, or Seb could just leave them there permanently and just run off and Scott wouldn't know a thing about it.

I work five days a week and have college classes the remaining two days, but I should still be able to post at least once every other day.

Posted by: Hydra Aug 29 2014, 01:35 AM

Sounds good 7E! Since Seb is low on money he will choose to send them to behavior school and will end up leaving them there permanently. So now I believe that's all sorted, we can solidify the plan for the RP before getting a move on. If you could each post what your character will be doing in this roleplay in a list like format it would be much appreciated so we can work out the order of posting and events that will take place.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Aug 29 2014, 01:00 PM

Hmm...... well, seeing as Fidona is a not only a rainforest but it's populated by various tribes who may or may not get along with each other, the area would probably have a pretty sizable Ranger presence. As this is well outside of Scott's normal area of operations, I could say he was called in to fill a spot left vacant by another Ranger who got sick or something.

He'll simply be doing patrols looking for anyone/anything who is up to no good. I might also start off the roleplay with the very end of a battle against some other random Trainer who challenged him, since Scott is looking for every opportunity to test out his team's abilities.

I don't have any plans for him to catch anything, and Ruby will probably not be evolving.

Posted by: FirePower Aug 29 2014, 08:18 PM

(Sorry I haven't posted yet. I've been out of town.)

I was thinking that maybe, since Kaya's really not up to the Calliber of Seb and Scott, Kaya could maybe get kidnapped too. She'd be really off her game since she's away from home. If you guys don't think that's a good idea, she could always insist on following Scott. I'm not really going to catch anything either. So my (very flexible) plan is. . .

1) RP starts, Kaya notices the chaos caused by Flame and Bolt and runs ahead of her partner character, Luke, to investigate. Luke will not be returning in this RP except possibly after all the action has ended.

2)Kaya may or may not arrive before Flame and Bolt are taken care of, depending on how long it lasts. If the disaster hasn't ended, Kaya will probably make some attempt at helping calm things down.

3)Some way, somehow, Kaya could get Kidnapped by the same natives as Seb. Or Kaya someway, somehow finds out about the kidnapping and insists on helping Scott.

4)Proceed with rescue and end of RP. Kaya will probably fight with a native or something to get her battle in.

Posted by: Hydra Aug 29 2014, 08:40 PM

Your plan sounds okay to Me FP! You can choose whether you want to help Scott with the rescuing of Sebastian or maybe Kaya could also trigger a trap and be captured by the natives. Then both Kaya and Seb would be hostages of the native's and they ploy to escape. Maybe one of the native's and their partner pokemon could be picking on Kaya by causing physical torture to her, this would eventually lead to the two battling each other after Kaya is rescued. Before they can put a plan to action though, Scott arrives on the scene and stops the kidnapping, thus saving Kaya and Seb. Scott could be pin-pointing the blame at Sebastian and his pair of Magby and Elekid (This sparks the battle between the two). After Seb loses the battle to Scott and hands over Magby and Elekd to Scott he then proceeds to fight a wild Cranidos with his Totodile, if not for the evolution of his water pokemon into a Croconaw then Sebastian would have likely lost two battles in a row. At the end of Sebastian's battle and eventual capture of Cranidos would could wrap the roleplay up with the three characters going there separate ways, this would allow Sebastian to make tracks towards the Fidona Gym.

How does that sound? If you both have anything to add then feel free. Once we all agree on the events here then can get the roleplay started and we'll hit the ground running!

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Aug 29 2014, 10:04 PM

I don't mind having Kaya following Scott around. He usually has Amber tagging along on his patrols and missions anyway, and since she isn't going to be here except possibly during phone conversations he wouldn't mind the backup. Every major event he's attended to as a Ranger has been with someone else anyway (Mt. Arasam with Cesc, for instance) so he appreciates having help. His Vulpix, though...... not so much.

By the way, most of Scott's intel will come to him over the radio from the local Ranger stations. If Kaya doesn't get kidnapped, she would simply have to be near Scott to be able to hear about the kidnapping and any other events of importance. That's assuming he doesn't actually witness the kidnapping though, but I would prefer that he doesn't witness it and is told by someone else what has happened.

Whatever you two want to do for the kidnapping I'm fine with. It might take me a while to figure out how to negotiate to free the two of you though...... preferably without using force. I'll just go with the flow and hope that you two don't send me over a waterfall :p

Posted by: FirePower Aug 30 2014, 07:54 AM

I think I'll go with the getting kidnapped path.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 2 2014, 03:28 AM

Okay, sounds good FirePower! I'll start the thread after we organize the posting order, therefore I'd post first and then you two can decide who wants to go next, that alright?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 2 2014, 10:17 AM

That's fine. I don't really care if I post second or third.

Posted by: FirePower Sep 2 2014, 09:40 PM

I guess I'll go. . . third?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Sep 2 2014, 11:59 PM

And I'll form the head!





I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I couldn't resist. Don't mind me.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 3 2014, 12:29 PM

I...... don't know what to say to that.

But I don't mind posting second. This will be an interesting RP.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 13 2014, 12:48 PM

Are we still going to do this RP, or has one/both of you already disappeared......?

EDIT- If no reply has been made to this by the 17th, I'm going to have to back out and look for a different roleplay to enter.

Posted by: FirePower Sep 15 2014, 08:27 PM

I'm still in here. I'm grounded from electronics at the moment (though, luckily, it only applies while I'm at home), so I may not be able to get on all the time for at least the next couple days.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 16 2014, 12:24 PM

Okay, so you're still going to be somewhat active then...... but did Hydra disappear? Half the story is about his character......

I propose making a backup plan in case he has disappeared again, and possibly finding another person to add to the roleplay. If Hydra disappears, the extra person can take his place; if he stays around then we have another character to make things interesting (and for Scott to test his new battle strategies on, and maybe to help Scott with the part where he rescues Seb and Kaya from the natives).

Now, what this backup plan might be, I don't know...... but falling back on defeating some poachers is always a valid strategy. Unless you have a different idea, I could also tie it in to the corruption among the top Rangers that I introduced a few roleplays back. Other ideas might be...... umm...... something else involving the natives? I suppose we could still have them kidnap Kaya without Sebastion being around.

Posted by: FirePower Sep 20 2014, 12:45 PM

I'm all for adding a new member, if Hydra agrees. Those fallback plans all sound good to me. Hydra hasn't been on since the twelfth. Do you think we should wait. . . another week or two, maybe?

(P.S. Ungrounded! I should be more active now.)

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 20 2014, 03:32 PM

If my previous roleplay with him is a good example, then he probably won't be back for another two months......

Darkrow and his/her character Lucie are looking for their first roleplay, so maybe they can join us in our quest to find something interesting to do.

It will take at least a few days to get a new story set up, and if Hydra hasn't shown up again by then, we should probably start without him.

Current ideas are-
- Poachers! Again! It is a rainforest after all......
- A fight with the natives, possibly involving kidnappings?
- Other criminal activity to bust?
- One of us could have a Pokemon get lost in the forest and we have to go find them while they get into all sorts of trouble?
^ Those would be things Scott would e involved in as a Ranger, but if there are any events in your character's backstory you might want to use, throw them out and we'll see if we can use them.

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 20 2014, 03:59 PM

I'd be up to join this with Lucie (I'm a guy, by the way!)

Lucie's complete inexperience and obliviousness to, well, everything could make her quite the interesting party member here, though with her having no money I'd have to find a reason for her to have ended up all the way to Fidona (maybe snuck on a boat?).

One thing to note is that Lucie will probably be hostile to you guys' charries at first unless her clumsiness and inexperience force her to approach them first to ask for help. Perhaps the lost pokémon route could work well using Lucie; her Minccino Pecan has the habit of wandering away.

Otherwise, since she comes from a family of crime, she's probably known by quite a few criminals. Dunno how that could come into play, but it's there. She herself looks down on criminals (despite stealing often... hypocrite) so busting down criminals/poachers would come naturally to her.

She's also clueless enough to easily be a kidnap victim; the natives could think she's rich because of her clothes, as tattered and dirty as they are.

Less relevant to plot itself, but good to know (I think?), Lucie's main goal is to be rich again and she's really whiny, so a rainforest would probably have her whining about the weather and the general surroundings, not to mention she'll be terrified of whatever pokémon lives in there.

Edit: Also, if we're doing this RP without Hydra, maybe we should make another thread for this story?

Posted by: FirePower Sep 20 2014, 09:51 PM

ummmm, native poachers kidnapping one or more characters because they went searching for lost Pokemon?

Yeah, I'm just kidding about that (though if you guys like it, full steam ahead!). Everything sounds pretty good to me. By the way, Kaya's not really familiar with Fidona, so Scott would probably be the only one of the troupe who knows his way around.

As for starting a new thread, I'm clueless about that sort of stuff. I'll leave that up to you two.

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 20 2014, 10:26 PM

Oh, I don't know much about that too, just feels a bit weird to actually start an RP without its creator, y'know? I'm not too familiar with how RPs like this work, though.

Also, getting kidnapped by poachers does give someone (probably Scott) a nice way to have a hero moment.

Posted by: Toogee Sep 21 2014, 06:22 AM

Unless you need to change the first post (or the title), you don't have to. No big deal on the mod end.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 21 2014, 09:28 AM

Oh, okay. Right. I couldn't tell because you don't have your gender set and your name doesn't give any hints :/

Scott has barely ever set foot in Fidona, as his normal patrol area is around the Loch Ranch. He just happes to be here to fill in for another Ranger who is either sick or injured and thus can't do patrols.

I'm fine with fighting poachers and kidnappings, my only thought is about whomever gets kidnapped...... will they have much to post while the other characters are looking for them? Instead of just one of us getting kidnapped, maybe all of us should get caught, and then we'd have to escape (while listening to Lucie complain...... that sounds like loads of fun) without leaving any of our Pokemon behind.

As for starting the roleplay thread, I'll do it when I've got a decent idea of what we're doing and when I have some free time...... which may not be until Wednesday because of work. Or one of you can do it before then. I don't think we need a new discussion thread.

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 21 2014, 06:01 PM

I'll let either one of you start it, kinda elbow deep in college work right now. I'm more of a passenger right now anyway. :P

Posted by: Hydra Sep 21 2014, 06:18 PM

I sincerely apologize to all for my lack of activity recently, I really did not expect to get so held down by finishing school. I hate to make excuses however this is a rather viable one, I've been busy recently as I've finally finished schooling after thirteen years, and I also turned eighteen recently so the celebrations have been wild so far. I'd really like to still be a part of this RP if you would all like to let me. I'll let you all decide whether you want me to join in or not since I'm obviously not the most reliable person here.

Posted by: FirePower Sep 21 2014, 09:22 PM

I, personally, have no problem letting you stay. It was originally your RP, after all.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 21 2014, 09:52 PM

I have no problem with you staying either. In fact I actually just had an idea regarding my previous plan and tieing it in to having your Magby/Elekid removed from your party...... if the whole group of characters in the roleplay gets kidnapped by poachers/other criminals, then we're probably going to be separated from our Pokemon and have to rescue them when we escape, right (assuming the poachers take our Pokemon to either make it harder for us to escape, or worse to sell them...... Scott's Eeveelutions would probably fetch quite a bit of money on the black market after all)? Well, Sebastian could simply not rescue them :p

Plus, if you disappear again, then it doesn't make a huge impact on the rest of the roleplay. We could say Seb (or anyone else's character, if someone else becomes inactive) just got knocked out during the escape or something, so the rest of the party stashes their body in a bush somewhere to retrieve later...... or something like that. And if you become active again, you could easily catch up too.

...... I'm just full of ideas tonight.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 22 2014, 12:22 AM

Thanks heaps for letting Me re-join! Your ideas sound wonderful 7E, it would be allow Sebastian to make an influential decision on his future and reveal his true personality to the other characters involved in the roleplay. So now shall we form a new sequence of events for the four of us to follow and then we can get the thread finally rolling along?

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 22 2014, 04:24 AM

Three of Lucie's pokémon also have slightly different appearances (completely gray Minccino, pink-nosed Litleo and pompom-tailed Purrloin) which could make the poachers think they're special. I also have absolutely no problem making the whole thing her fault either, just don't expect any public apologies from her. :P

I'm up for making a new sequence of events, I'll chip in when necessary.

Also, if it's of any use, my timezone is the same as the server time and I won't be on 'til after noon today, as a little warning.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 22 2014, 01:32 PM

My timezone is an hour after server time, and most of the time I won't be online during the evenings because that's when I work, or for the couple hours before/after noon Tuesdays/Thursdays because of college classes.

Scott will be starting in the middle of a battle with some random trainer, but what happens after that until he gets taken prisoner by the poachers doesn't matter to me. He could meet one of your characters and something could happen before they get attacked.

Also, if you guys don't mind, I'm going to tie this group of poachers back to the group of poachers Scott fought against in his first roleplay, which in turn ties them to a corrupted group of people at the top of the Ranger command system. In particular the lead poacher will be the same guy Scott fought previously, with the same Pokemon (he "escaped"), but this means that the guy has a level 25-30 Umbreon and a level 30-35 Mega Absol (or as Scott calls it, winged-mutant-Absol-thing) because their levels ere optimized for the other people in the roleplay at the time, so they're a bit much for us currently unless we all gang up on him. The rest of the leader's poaching group will be different though, and probably with much lower-levelled Pokemon. So if you guys don't mind a challenge at the very end......

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 22 2014, 02:04 PM

I'm fine with that, ties to previous RP(s) will just give you (and us) more fuel to write. Also gives Lucie a firm reality check when it comes to battling. :P

I have a few ideas for Lucie's starting point: either asleep and waking up to either meet someone or notice her Minccino is gone, or utterly lost in the rainforest as she's looking for something dumb like a soap tree or something.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 22 2014, 02:41 PM

Maybe she could be looking for the elusive money tree? Haha...... I suppose Lucie could run into Scott during/after his battle. It would be an interesting interaction if she told him what she was looking for.

If she finds out that Scott is essentially rich after getting his parent's inheritance, that might also cause some interesting events to happen. I wouldn't challenge him to a battle though, unless you want a really short battle.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 22 2014, 06:14 PM

I'm not too sure how to integrate Sebastian into having Magby and Elekid poached just yet. My current idea is that Seb is training his Scyther and Totodile in the forest of Fidona, a lapse of attention allows Magby and Elekid to escape as they want to cause more mischief for their trainer, however they get kidnapped by the poachers. Surprisingly enough Sebastian goes looking for the pair to see where they have gotten to, and in turn runs into one of you three's characters who is worried and needs help to get their pokemon back. Sebastian refuses to help unless he is to profit in some way, and that is with a battle after they retrieve the mons. After defeating the poachers/retrieving the pokemon Sebastian leaves Magby and Elekid behind as they are set into the wild. After the battle with the trainer that Sebastian made a deal with, a Cranidos turns up and challenges Sebastian to a fight, the battle ensues and Seb wins and captures Cranidos.

Please feel free to alter this small plan that I have for Seb so far to fit your characters!

Posted by: FirePower Sep 22 2014, 07:08 PM

Kaya could probably offer to help find Lucie's Mincinno. She'd be watching Scott's battle and maybe overhear Lucie (or be asked directly, if you prefer, Darkrow). I still don't plan on adding her partner character so he could be somewhere else, not particularly interested in the battle.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 22 2014, 10:51 PM

I can't get the quoteing system to work right......

I'm fine with most of the plan, but the way I see it, it would be next to impossible for Seb to run into any of us while we try to free our Pokemon, because we're probably going to end up being taken prisoner as well (or at least, Scott will be, since he and the poacher boss already have a less-than-friendly history back a couple months). He will likely be spending a substantial amount of time in captivity, especially since it doesn't sound like Seb or Lucie will have much of a desire to rescue him unless it benefits them somehow.

On that same note, though, if anyone doesn't want to be taken prisoner, Scott's Espeon (Scarlet) can teleport and I'm planning on using that to help her escape. Once she escapes, she'll go find help from any other characters she can find. She's also a telepath, so if she finds one of your characters it shouldn't be too hard for her to get her request for help across. Of course, you could always refuse to help her and she'll just move on to someone else......

My partner character will not be showing up in person, but there probably will be phone conversations with her in the beginning and end of the roleplay, so in a way she'l still be part of the story. However, another Ranger or two might show up to give us help if Scarlet ends up not finding any of the other characters (if we all get captured or you refuse to help her).

As for a reason for someone to help take down the poachers...... besides getting to beat up criminals, they're probably going to already have captured a bunch of rare or semi-rare Pokemon before they kidnap Scott and anyone else who is going to be taken prisoner. When we set those Pokemon free at the end, you could always attempt a capture. Cranidos could be in one of the cages, too. And for anyone willing to steal, you could always take the poachers' equipment/money/stuff after they are taken down but before the police arrive to arrest them......

EDIT- after thinking about it more, maybe we should split into two pairs to start off...... someone could be observing Scott's battle at the start and then wind up as a prisoner along with him and possibly attempt to escape from within the poacher's compound, while the other two will be elsewhere (battling? searching for a lost Pokemon?) when Scarlet escapes and finds them and leads them to the compound to help out. Or something along those lines, we don't have to have everything set in stone prior to beginning.

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 22 2014, 11:04 PM

This might be something Lucie would attempt, actually... if she gets the chance, anyway; she might be exhausted by then (I hope some of your charries are strong, 'cause she may need to be carried and she's not very light). I may have her be a complete klutz and steal a pokéball that's actually empty, though she'd think a pokémon would be inside.

Also, FirePower (FP?), either works with me, though the idea of Lucie having to swallow her ego and ask for help does amuse me a bit more. We'll see when we get to it. :P

As for the plan so far, I'm thinking that Lucie's role will mainly be the burden (perhaps loveable loser) of the group as well as maybe someone Scott is stuck with? I feel like the conflicting personalities would be rather amusing. I gotta say, in general, I feel like our little team is rather balanced: two quiet characters and two loud ones, one who can back up what he says and another who can't (Lucie), at least from what I can gather from the profiles. Feels like a nice balance to me.

Also, Lucie may be scared by Scarlet's telepathy, amongst the various other things that'll be encountered in this, so it may be better to have Lucie kidnapped and kind of just... smacked in the head with reality. Very very hard. Like, bunker wall hard.

Either way, no objections for me in the plan so far! I'll be going to bed now.

Edit for 7E's edit: For separation, maybe getting one loud character with one quiet character would be better and give more post fuel to everyone? That is, if I understood the profiles right, I'm sleepy.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 22 2014, 11:15 PM

I'm liking this idea of having the group split into two pairs! By Sebastian rescuing the en-caged Cranidos it shows a humane side to him, however in the process his Magby and Elekid could be in separate cages and notice their trainer with his newly acquired Cranidos as they are abandoned and left to be found by the police. So if we were to split into two pairs, what would they be and we should specify whose character will place the quiet role and the other the loud role.

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 23 2014, 06:37 AM

From the profiles (from what I can gather, at the very least), it seems like the quiet ones are Kaya (shyness) and Scott (stoic) while the loud ones are Seb (pride/general out-goingingness) and Lucie (entitled little brat). It doesn't have to be quiet-loud groups at all, just making guesses and stuff.

Also, Lucie can be on either group; she could easily be searching for her Minccino for the entire thing or end up kidnapped. Her with Sebastian would end with them both only doing something if it benefits them. With Kaya, Lucie could find someone she could relate to and someone who could quite possibly help her (nomads that didn't go to school, difference being that Kaya isn't dumb as a log). With Scott I see him ending up as more of a mentor to Lucie, though I'm just making assumptions at this point.

From what I gather so far, Lucie will get kidnapped because she's looking for her Minccino, so I'm fine with anything you guys prefer to do with her.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 23 2014, 10:29 AM

I think Scott will do fine teamed up with anyone, or even left alone with the three of you teamed up to try and rescue him and all the captured Pokemon.

Plus, if you think Scarlet's telepathy might be a surprise to Lucie, well, my Umbreon Ebony is a telepath too :p
His telepathy is just extremely range-limited, so he has to be essentially sitting next to you to communicate since he isn't actually a true psychic.

I should also point out that after being kidnapped, Scott isn't going to be of much help to anyone; since he messed up the lead poacher's plans back a couple months ago, he's probably going to be beaten, so anyone teamed up with him will have to escape on their own.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 23 2014, 07:33 PM

Well I'm really unsure how to integrate my character so far with the pairs system, so feel free to include Sebastian with anyone in the pair system and I will simply play along with it.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 24 2014, 06:16 PM

So nobody has a preference to what group they are in? Well...... I guess we could use a random number generator to decide or something......

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 25 2014, 05:01 PM

I definitely don't mind Lucie going with Scott; her family's criminal ties (and her father's entire operation being shut down) will surely make her a target for those poachers (maybe they sold some of their captures to her father's clan or something?). Whether that happens or not, I think I'll have Lucie getting kidnapped with Scott, if you don't mind.

Posted by: FirePower Sep 25 2014, 07:59 PM

If we're doing pairs, then, that would put Kaya and Seb together. Any ideas how to get them working together? (Speaking of which, will Flame and Bolt still be wreaking havoc?)

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 25 2014, 09:59 PM

Well, that works for me. As long as we have a general idea of how we are going to do things, we can let the flow of the RP decide the rest.

I'm going to start on the initial post now. You all can decide the posting order based on when you all get online to post :p

Now you all get to have a little taste of Scott's unique battle style and what it's like to fight a teleporter!

Posted by: Hydra Sep 25 2014, 10:08 PM

Okay, so now that we have the pairs sorted! Let's get this thing started! So could somebody please help me out by running out the general idea that has been formed so far. Please correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding after reading over all the notes we have made so far is that Scott and Lucie will be getting kidnapped by the poachers? That's going to leave Sebastian (The most unlikely person to help anyone but himself) and Kaya to help out?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 25 2014, 10:53 PM

Yeah, that looks like it'll be the general plan, unless one of you two want to get kidnapped as well. If any of your Pokemon are taken by the poachers, well, that's up to you.

The initial post should be almost done.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 25 2014, 11:08 PM

Okay sounds like a good plan to Me! I think I'll have Sebastian start off by doing some double team training by using his Scyther and Totodile to battle a Vigoroth who has gone on a rampage (Blade and Jaws win that battle). After the battle Sebastian notices that Elekid and Magby have disappeared, under the rash belief that someone has stolen the pair that he payed a hefty price to obtain Sebastian goes looking for the perpetrator. Sebastian meets Kaya and (I'm assuming she will also have something of hers stolen) and they team up in search of the criminals. Seb and Kaya find Scott and Lucie who have been kidnapped and tied up as hostages. The poachers reveal themselves after Seb/Kaya survey all the caged up stolen pokemon, Seb offers them to fight without using pokemon but they refuse and instead choose a pokemon battle. The poachers pokemon are particularly strong and are putting the fight to Blade and Jaws, there is no budging between either side until Jaws the Totodile evolves into a Croconaw mid battle, thus tipping the battle in Seb's favor. After winning the battle Seb and Kaya rescue Scott and Lucie, ignoring the rest of the group Sebastian goes searching the cages for Magby and Elekid and cannot find them (They have actually just ran off on there trainer!), instead a lonely and sad looking Cranidos is causing a ruckus as it wants to escape it's enclosure. Surprisingly Sebastian rescues the Cranidos and that'd be where I'd most likely end the plot for My character unless someone else wants him involved in a battle or something of the sort.

How does that sound!? (Sorry for the long post, just thought I'd clear some stuff up!)

Edit: Do we have a set posting order to go by or shall we just all post continuously out of sync?

Posted by: FirePower Sep 26 2014, 09:24 PM

That plan sounds good to me.

As far as for posting order, I would honestly prefer it if we went in a predetermined order (though if you guys disagree, out of sync works too). If we do go on a predetermined order, I'll go wherever's available. Third again, maybe?

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 26 2014, 09:58 PM

A posting order would be good, yeah.

I don't mind being second if no one else minds.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 26 2014, 11:37 PM

Okay, sounds like it's sorted, by me posting last it will give Me alot more time to build a spine for my post and check over it alot more to make sure I'm not making as many mistakes as I usually do. The posting order will go like this if you are all alright with it:
1. 7Eeveelutions
2. Darkrow
3. FirePower
4. Hydra

Now shall we get this thing moving along and starting posting!

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 27 2014, 12:59 AM

The plan is fine, however I would like to point out that the lead poacher's main Pokemon is a Mega Absol around level 35; none of us have something of a similar level, or anything that could really tank the damage it does or outdamage it, so it will be a very difficult foe to beat, if not impossible. Some kind of special trick may be necessary, or we'll all have to gang up on it after we take out all the other Pokemon owned by the poachers.

In the previous roleplay with it, I also had it take preference over attacking enemy Trainers instead of their Pokemon, and it put Scott in the hospital with a few dozen stitches on his shoulder, so I would advise some caution...... although it will probably be targeting Scott again.

Oh, and most of our characters probably won't know what Mega Evolution is at this point. Mutant winged Absol!

Posted by: Hydra Sep 27 2014, 02:01 AM

Hmm, that's going to be a problem! The closest pokemon level wise to Mega Absol is Sebastian's Jaws the Totodile, however it would not be able to withstand a Mega pokemons attacks or deal a great amount of damage to it either. Maybe we have Kaya and Sebastian using all of there available pokemon to take down the Mega Absol (Like Free-For-All style). Maybe the Cranidos that Seb eventually gets has been watching all along and catches the Mega Absol from behind, thus leaving an opening for an onslaught of attacks?

I'm not really sure if that is a suitable idea, but we have a little while before we arrive at the battle section against the poacher and his Mega Absol, so let's get this pot brewing with ideas on how to defeat the Mega Absol.

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 27 2014, 11:17 AM

I should have posted by the end of the day.

For the Mega Absol, a one-against-many approach could work; surely multiple level 20-ish pokémon will have a chance if they gang up on it? The lower-leveled pokémon could act as distractions, same for the trainers since it attacks trainers too.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 27 2014, 01:36 PM

I was in a hurry to post last night and forgot something, which was actually how I defeated the Absol the first time around...... if we try and free as many of the captured wild Pokemon as possible, some of them are bound to help as out (such as Cranidos). That will not only increase our numbers, but there's the chance that some strong Pokemon might be caged up in the poacher base who would be very helpful fighting such a monster. Perhaps mid-evolution starter Pokemon? Angry Beedrill? Or maybe a Vaporeon that could soak up some of the damage caused by the Absol? (I'm not planning on catching anything this RP, by the way, even if we throw out a bunch of wild Eeveelutions)

Plus, Mega Absol only has the defenses of a regular Absol, so if we all gang up on it it might not be all that hard if we don't lose everything to the first few attacks when it appears...... and assuming all our characters can actually work together. I think that might actually be the biggest issue here.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 27 2014, 11:39 PM

Okay is sounds like we should be fine and can most likely handle the situation when it arises. I've just been reading over Scott's, Lucie's and Kaya's profile and thought I'd share an idea that I thought of that we might discuss. If Lucie and Scott were to be in cages like Pokemon, but obviously bigger this plan may work. For one idea I was thinking that somehow maybe Praline the Purrloin isn't kidnapped like her trainer, and during a stalemate battle against the poacher and Mega Absol, the feline pokemon steals a master key from the back of the poachers belt and proceeds to give it to Lucie as she escapes and then helps Scott escape and the events flow from there on.

How does that sound?

Edit: It's rather humorous that both Sebastian and Lucie are linked to being criminals and that Scott is around them, this could possibly lead to future roleplays where somehow he may find out more of Sebastian's past but not reveal it since he rescued him in this roleplay?! Endless possibilities!

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 28 2014, 12:04 AM

Scott's Umbreon, Ebony, actually knows the move Covet and used it in a previous roleplay to pickpocket the exact same lead poacher of a key while he was an Eevee (although he grabbed the wrong key). He'll be stuck in a cage though, but if you can find a way to break him out without alerting all of our foes he can easily get the key(s) for you guys if Praline isn't available.

Or you can use Scarlet, although by that point in the roleplay she may be too tired to teleport again and would probably be best used for other tasks.

It'll probably be something best left until later to decide for sure.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 28 2014, 12:42 AM

I agree 7E, many different possibilities are available to choose from that will add a degree of interest to the scenario. Thankfully I'm last in the posting order as this is the first time that I have truly been preparing a post and reading over it multiple times to make sure that it is interesting and flows more fluently, I'm so used to doing a post in one sitting, so hopefully this different style will pay off. After reading each of the characters profiles again it has given me even more muse. It's safe to say that I'm incredibly keen for this roleplay!

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 28 2014, 09:28 PM

I've already got a bunch of ideas for my next post. Beware of Scarlet's evil nicknames for some of the characters she meets! Poor Darius...... he won't like Scarlet's nickname for him one bit. And I've already got an idea for a nickname she could give Lucie, which she probably won't like either :p

Posted by: Hydra Sep 29 2014, 03:11 AM

I have a really nice plan and would appreciate your thoughts on it. Sebastian will be battling a wild and vicious Vigoroth to start of the roleplay, and believe it or not he accidentally captures it. Not sure what to do with it he holds onto it for the time being and when it comes to dire straits in the battle against the poacher and his Mega Absol, Sebastian lets the beast free and she goes on a rampage and either hurts the poacher, his Mega Absol significantly or uses its razor sharp claws to open up some cages in hopes that it can hurt the people/pokemon inside. I'm also really unsure what to do with the Vigoroth yet, it'll most likely just be a one RP hero if this goes ahead and Seb may leave him in the PC until he feels he can forgive her for what she done to him.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 29 2014, 12:44 PM

Well, for one, there is a limit on the amount of Pokemon you can catch in a roleplay...... two total, or one "rare." It is a mod's decision on what is rare and what isn't, but I would think of Cranidos as being rare since it is a fossil Pokemon, so I'm not sure the mods would allow you to capture Vigoroth as well. You might want to ask about it.

Plus, if she is going to go on a rampage, wouldn't her first target likely be Sebastion? Although I suppose she might go after Mega Absol if she finds it to be a more worthy foe......

EDIT- I just noticed that the capture was approved. In any case i'm rather wary of us having an easy way to get rid of what is supposed to be the boss foe, and even then Vigoroth is only level 24 while Absol is level 36, plus there's a huge difference between their base stats (65,150,60,115,60,115 for Mega Absol compared to 80,80,80,55,55,90 for Vigoroth). While I'm fine with Vigoroth going nuts and attacking everything (and breaking open some cages is a good idea) I don't think it's a good match for injuring Absol easily.

Now, on the other hand, it would be a great distraction to keep attention away from the rest of the group's activities. If all the poachers are concentrating on restraining Vigoroth, we could probably get a whole bunch of the cages open, especially if Vigoroth cuts open Ebony's cage and allows him to escape.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 29 2014, 05:14 PM

Hmm, it is rather surprising that the Vigoroth capture went through! I agree that Sebastian would likely be her first target, but maybe we could have one of the psychic pokemon that can mind control her and change her course of attack to the cages? (That actually sounds like a nice plan!) After opening the cages of Lucie and Scott, the mind control wears off and Vigoroth serves as a distraction as it wants to go after Sebastian but poachers are blocking her way, therefore she serves as a nice distraction! (I don't think she'd be suitable to fight the Mega Absol anymore!)

Also I've put up my first post for the topic. I believe it's my longest one since joining PANE so I'm rather pleased. Thanks for letting me back into this roleplay the three of you, I thought my inactivity before might have left me in the dark.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 29 2014, 10:01 PM

I'm not against that, but sadly Scarlet isn't yet capable of mind control. The most she could do is give telepathic suggestions while using Protect to keep Vigoroth from attacking someone whom it shouldn't (like Seb). Kaya has a Psyduck, but he's at the same level as Scarlet is and (as far as I know) isn't telepathic (which is probably a requirement for mind control), so I doubt it is capable of mind control either.

On the other hand, telepathic suggestions are really all anyone needs to control something that's already really angry at the world like Vigoroth. Just a simple "That winged-Absol-thing clearly thinks you are inferior and that it is a waste of time for him to fight you, so why don't you try and change that evil way of thinking" should be more than enough to get it to attack the Mega Absol, but the cages will be somewhat harder to suggest...... but I'll figure something out. Maybe the promise of food in the cages, followed by a "Oh, look, no food...... that Absol must have eaten it all already. You should teach it a lesson."

When I decided to use telepathy I hadn't even thought of using it like this. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities! This is going to be interesting......

Posted by: Hydra Sep 29 2014, 10:06 PM

That sounds incredible 7E! Let's go with that plan, we could have Vigoroth being swayed by telepathic suggestions since its judgement is clouded by rage. Vigoroth would be the unlikely hero to help Scott and Lucie escape their cages and then would go after the Mega Absol and join in on stopping them!

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 30 2014, 06:40 AM

The Vigoroth being a distraction works very well for me, perhaps that could be how Praline steals the key without being noticed, if we're still going with that? Lucie being the one released first does give her a choice between rescuing Scott or just running the hell away.

I'll post either today or tomorrow, probably today.

Also, for future reference, it's Minccino and not Mincinno... which really annoys me, don't worry.

Posted by: Hydra Sep 30 2014, 06:57 AM

It seems like a fine plan Darkrow, I'm all for it and if we are all in agreement then we can go forward with it. We have gotten off to a nice start so far so let's all keep it up! Although there isn't many posts so far, the interest that each of the characters is generating is brilliant.

Also FirePower, if you choose to have Kaya meet up with Sebastian in your next post then could you have him look pissed off that his pair have abandoned him please? Thanks!

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 30 2014, 08:48 AM

Managed to post before class, wouldja look at that. :P

You're free to make Pecan say that he's with Lucie or whatever, 7E, just know that Moss'll have to ask first. :P

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Sep 30 2014, 10:23 AM

I really thought I spelled Minccino right...... although each time I typed it I had to stop and think how to spell it. Seems like I missed the very last attempt though.

I'm not quite sure what I'll post yet, but there's still plenty of time to figure that out with Kaya and Seb's posts coming up first.

Posted by: Darkrow Sep 30 2014, 11:14 AM

I wasn't quite sure what I'd post either, but it came as I wrote it. You're also free to have Scott (or Moss) hear or see Lucie, just in case you want to do that.

Posted by: FirePower Sep 30 2014, 10:59 PM

I read through everything and it sounds cool with me. (Just so you know, Attila doesn't have any psychic powers.) I'll start working on my post as soon as I've caught up with y'alls.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 2 2014, 11:44 AM

Just so you guys know, I may not be able to post tomorrow or this weekend...... Super Smash Brothers comes out on the 3DS tomorrow (and I have it preordered from Amazon so it will arrive tomorrow too) and it will likely distract me to the point that I'll only be online when my 3DS has run out of power and is charging :p

So no need to hurry with posting, unless you all want to skip me for a round.

Posted by: FirePower Oct 2 2014, 05:43 PM

I'm cool with waiting for you.

Hey, Hydra, is it cool with you if Kaya passes Flame and Bolt on her way to meeting Seb? It's not a big deal if it ain't

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 2 2014, 05:46 PM

I'm in the same situation, don't worry :P

Posted by: Hydra Oct 2 2014, 07:22 PM

Sounds like a good weekend for the both of you in Darkrow and 7E, I was able to play the SSB demo and thoroughly enjoyed it. I spent my money on pre-ordering NBA 2K15 instead of SSB, however if I had more monies I'd definitely purchase SSB. Also at FP, I'm fine with Kaya walking past Magby and Elekid, however as long as Sebastian does not encounter them until the confrontation against the poacher. Maybe Kaya notices them, bumps into Seb and he's pissed that he has to go looking for them.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 2 2014, 10:24 PM

Haha, awesome. I've been waiting for this game forever, probably three or four years. Eevee is now a pokeball assist using Tackle!!!
...... Anyway, I will try and be online at least once a day in the mornings after I get up to check and see if I need to post. Hopefully by the end of next week I'll have thoroughly asserted my awesomeness against the CPU and will be back to regular activity levels.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 4 2014, 03:41 PM

Just wanna say, Pecan's male, 7E. :P

I'll post by Monday evening; I've got both college work and SSB4 to deal with (mains so far are Ganondorf, Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer btw). I might post on a random night at like 3 AM before that, though.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 4 2014, 06:38 PM

Oh, he is? Oops. Sorry.

It's a good thing I posted before my college football game, because now I'm really sad (#4 Oklahoma...... we just lost) and if I had to post now it would probably be really depressing somehow. At least I have SSB4 to help out. I've been using a mix of Charizard, Pikachu, and Ike with some Toon Link mixed in. Have every level unlocked and only one character left to unlock after playing for like nine hours yesterday :p

Speaking of Charizard...... I just had an idea. I'm actively thinking about what wild Pokemon we can stick in the cages to free later on, and Charizard seems like it would be a good ally to have, although we may not be able to control it very well...... but there's nothing wrong with having both Vigoroth and a wild Charizard on the rampage at the same time, right?

Otherwise, as it is a rainforest, the caged Pokemon should probably be mostly Grass and Water types with maybe some birds and bugs mixed in. And Cranidos too.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 4 2014, 07:46 PM

My only problem with Charizard is that his Side-B is now his Down-B and I keep doing his Side-B off the level (and often to my death)

A Venusaur could be good if we want Grass and/or Water types. Maybe even Torterra? Something more agile could be Tangrowth when it comes to Grass types. For Water types, Feraligatr could be terrifying to have on a rampage, same for Carracosta or Seismitoad... or Kabutops.

Also, I've been thinking that maybe I should get Lucie in a battle, but she, of course, wouldn't be able to catch a pokémon since she's a shitty fighter and has no pokéballs. Maybe something weak and young, like a Pansage?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 4 2014, 10:15 PM

I managed to get one of the alternate moves for the side-B which flies sideways a shorter distance, so it hasn't bothered me as much. Getting the alt moves is a pain though.

To get full grade points at the end, you need to have your character in at least one battle. The bare minimum will be met later on when we're all trying to fight the poachers, but multiple battles can improve your score, so it is probably a good idea to get in a battle now before we get taken hostage.

I suppose you could challenge Scott. He'll go somewhat easy on her, maybe by using Moss. I started my first RP with a 1 on 1 with another character who had level 30+ Pokemon...... it went surprisingly well for a while.

Or she could take her anger out on a wild Pokemon. Something weak would be good for the experience, or you could accidentally attack something strong (or attack something weak and have its parents show up), which might cause enough noise to bring Scott to her (or send her running into him), where the poachers can attack them both at the same time.

And on that same note, you could also attack something that ends up belonging to one of the poachers, or even one of the poachers themselves. That could be why they end up kidnapping Lucie since she is just a civilian.

Torterra on a rampage sounds good. Some of the cages could also hold Parasect or Sawsbuck/Deerling. And what about a bunch of Fletchling in place of songbirds? (I wish we could use legendaries since a weak one like Shaymin would be perfect for the poachers to capture, but sadly we can't)

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 4 2014, 10:53 PM

I don't mind getting the alt moves, just wish it'd tell you on the customise screen who's got new moves.

I think I'll have Lucie (almost wrote Lucina) attack a poacher's weak pokémon (maybe used as a scout) and then have their other pokémon attack her so she'll shriek and attract attention like an idiot. Maybe have it attack Praline or Peanut to actually anger Lucie and not make her scared.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 5 2014, 12:57 AM

Works for me. At least, using Lucie...... Lucina would be a bit overpowered :p

Feel free to use the lead poacher's Mega Absol if you want. It'll be showing up when Scott tries to help regardless.

Apart from the lead poacher and his Absol/Umbreon/Chatot combo, I was planning on all the other poachers using different Pokemon than what they had last time (or rather, them being different poachers altogether, since they were jailed and only the leader was set free by someone with special access) so you can use any Pokemon you think a poacher might want to use.

Previously the team had a number of Mightyena and Electrike, and some Butterfree for paralyzing their victims, along with a few other various Pokemon such as Zorua in case you want to use similar stuff. You'll probably want weaker Pokemon though, since we don't get to use Cesc's level 30+ team this time.

For reference, our level averages are currently-
Scott- 15 (23,13,13,11) or 16.3 without Moss since he doesn't usually battle
Lucie- 5 (5,5,5,5)
Kaya- 13.4 (15,13,13,13,13)
Sebastion- 23.5 (26,20,20,28) or 27 without Magby and Elekid (not counting Vigoroth since we can't control it and since I was too lazy to go looking for its level anyway since it isn't on the current levels page yet)

If we add all those together, minus Moss/Flame/Bolt and Vigoroth, we have an average level of 13.57, so anywhere between levels 10 and 15 is a good spot for normal foes. The boss poacher is the obvious exception, with his Absol/Umbreon/Chatot at levels 36, 25, and 21 respectively.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 6 2014, 10:57 PM

Sounds all good to me; I'll post tomorrow probably, college is really demanding this week, sorry for holding everything up.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 7 2014, 12:09 AM

If you don't post soon I'll steal your soul and feed it to my Vulpix It's fine. I've already had to drop two classes because one of them doesn't transfer to the college I want to go to (which would be my third college so far......) and the other I was doing really poorly in. Take your time.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 7 2014, 10:07 PM

Phew, there we go! Back to exams for three more days for me! :P

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 8 2014, 12:38 AM

I wish I could post right now. I've got so many ideas and I'm used to two-person roleplays. And I want to beat up some Electrike too!

...... Scizor. Three quarters of my team is weak to Bug and is now completely doomed, even if it doesn't mega evolve. And if it does......

I've got one major exam next week (I think) and a minor exam the week after that. Don't you just love midterms? Next week is going to be very busy for me......

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 8 2014, 05:01 AM

Yeah, that Scizor's gonna be a bit of a problem; the Fire-Type Lucie has is kind of knocked out and underleveled compared to it too. That's the fun of it, though, ain't it? :P

Yeah, midterms are terrible, and this year seems to be even worse than usual. x.x

Posted by: Hydra Oct 8 2014, 10:40 PM

Just a little heads-up from Me is that my activity may falter significantly from October 13th until October 31st as I will be sitting the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and will need to devote alot of time to focusing on these exams as they have ALOT of weighting towards my future. I'll still be checking in and throwing in my post when it is needed, however if there is days where I don't appear this notice serves as the reason why.

Other then that it seems we are all hitting exam time at similar times!

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 10 2014, 10:08 PM

The poachers have begun their strike. For the immediate future Scott and his Vulpix won't be able to do much, so I'll primarily be controlling his Eeveelutions, especially the two telepathic ones. Lucie may do as she pleases; if she stays nearby and tries to fight, Scarlet and Ebony will assist her as best as they can. If she runs, they'll either scatter (Scarlet), follow her (Ebony), or surrender (Moss). Since I can't see her being a very good runner, this inevitably means Ebony's going to be captured too, unless she does something specifically to let him escape.

Eventually, Scarlet will show up where Seb and Kaya are, but I don't know how long it will be until then. It depends on how much we have to do while Scott and Lucie are stuck being prisoners. When she does show up, feel free to ignore her if you want...... or, if your character really doesn't like Rangers, you could even attack her. She wears a little vest that shows she belongs to a Ranger and isn't a wild Pokemon, though, so you can't mistaken her as a wild Espeon.

If someone needs to go inactive for an extended period, you could make a post having your character leaving and walking further into the forest or something. Then when you return to being active you could have your character show up again whenever and wherever you like. Dramatic entrance, maybe?

Posted by: Hydra Oct 10 2014, 11:20 PM

Okay, I'm now at a crossroads of thought for the time-being. From what I have read so far there is two poachers (The Boss and other girl) and there is a Scizor, Mega Absol, Umbreon and Chatot. Scott has been knocked unconscious and will obviously be a hostage when he is next seen in the roleplay, Lucie is on the run from the villains and Sebastian is making tracks to the spot where Scott and Lucie were.

So now I'm assuming Seb and Kaya will find something that leads to finding the poachers and their temporary base. However I'm unsure as to what could possibly be left as a clue at this time.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 10 2014, 11:40 PM

There's also a Gurrdur and a Heliolisk.

As for the clue... only thing that springs to my sleepy mind is maybe the discarded Electrike's pokéball if The Boss decides to simply throw it away?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 11 2014, 12:47 AM

I was presuming the Electrike belonged to one of the boss's underlings, so it would be their choice as to what to do with it. I would imagine they would rather let Electrike heal on its own (or heal it themselves) rather than let it go and look for a replacement. (Come to think of it, there was a female poacher in my previous RP with an Electrike...... at that time I think she also had a Zorua and a Houndoom, and some kind of bird, maybe Murkrow. And, of course, Electrike was taken out right away then too, so if you want it to be the same girl then she has a reason to throw it out I guess)

I should mention that to get a full grade you need 10 posts, so we need a total of 40 posts minimum before we should end the roleplay (we're currently at 14). So don't rush in going to help Scott; we're going to need something to take up a little bit of time before the final battles begin.

...... I probably should have waited another post or two, but too late now.

Whatever Kaya and Seb want to do during that time is fine. You could battle each other, some wild Pokemon or even some poachers (which means less for everyone to fight later on). The more things you can think of that don't involve raiding the poacher's base, the better.

As for Scott, after a post or two or maybe three of the boss poacher taking revenge on him for sending him to prison, he'll be able to carry on a conversation with Lucie if there is anything she wants to know (or at least to tell her to calm down), and before then we'll get a couple of posts for the poacher girl chasing after her. Plus, Ebony is a (very limited) telepath, so you can try to talk to him too, although he isn't quite as friendly as Scarlet or Moss.

I will throw out a warning that some parts of my next few posts might be a little graphic. After all, what better weapon does the poacher boss have to to torture Scott with than Scott's own sword and his specialty gun? I'll explain the gun in detail in a post, but it isn't a real firearm, although it does look almost exactly like a Glock 17.

EDIT- Scarlet's going to be running around looking for someone to help her rescue Scott. In my next post she and Ebony will be breaking out of their Pokeballs and escaping, with Ebony tracking Lucie and Scarlet looking for help. Seb and Kaya should probably run into her, and she can lead you back to where Scott was taken out. You'll have to search from there, though, but the poacher's hideout probably isn't far away. The discarded Pokeball, and possibly even the injured Electrike itself, could also be clues leading you from the spot of the attack to the base.

Posted by: Hydra Oct 11 2014, 02:48 AM

Okay, I see where we are at now. From here I'd personally like for a pair of grunts to ambush Seb and Kaya, with both trainers having to fend off the poachers (and thus reducing the amount we have to battle later on). Then by the end of the battle we could have Ebony bump into Kaya and Seb, leading them to the spot where Scott had been kidnapped and finding the electrike's pokeball, then nearby a moaning injured Electrike has been abandoned, Sebastian honestly couldn't care less for it though as he continues onwards past Electrike and eventually finds the base and all hell breaks loose.

Posted by: FirePower Oct 11 2014, 08:30 AM

Sounds like a plan, stan! Should I bring in the poachers when I post?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 11 2014, 02:41 PM

It's your choice.

And you'll be running into Scarlet, not Ebony.

Posted by: Hydra Oct 11 2014, 04:15 PM

Yes please FirePower! We should make these poacher grunts who have stayed behind to ambush Seb and Kaya alot more interesting then the generic usual criminals.

Posted by: Hydra Oct 11 2014, 07:57 PM

Apologies for the double post, but I have a question. Is Kaya facing different poachers to Sebastian or the same poachers?

Posted by: FirePower Oct 11 2014, 08:09 PM

I was thinking the same ones, but if you want to get ambushed by a different set that's cool too.

Posted by: Hydra Oct 11 2014, 08:59 PM

I am not entirely sure what to do with Sebastian since the poacher only owns a Nidoran and Paras and I'm sure Kaya and her team can handle them. I'm thinking of having a single poacher with two pokemon put Blade to sleep, then Sebastian uses Jaws to battle the pair. Jaws beats the first pokemon but is getting beaten by the second one and is about to be finished off, however Blade wakes from his slumber and finishes off the poachers pokemon or Jaws evolves into a Croconaw. The poacher flees the scene and leaves behind his fainted pokemon.

What do you all think of that?

Posted by: FirePower Oct 11 2014, 09:15 PM

There were two poachers.

I didn't really do anything with the second one except show that he appeared, in case you wanted to use him.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 12 2014, 09:46 AM

Random thought here, but Ebony's "Yes Swimming" somehow makes me think of internet memes.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 14 2014, 09:20 PM

There we go! I'm glad this RP is going so smoothly (and quickly!); I've had pretty shitty experiences in the RP section here so this is very nice.

In your next post you can make little miss skeleton deliver the 'goods' and all that. Also, if you haven't noticed, I'm kinda really liking her...

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 14 2014, 11:58 PM

Haha, well, there's always the possibility of you keeping her as a side character after the roleplay, similar to my Amber and Firepower's Luke. You'll have to swap her team for something weaker though. It would definitely give Scott/Amber someone to try and track down when I'm not having them either deal with the corrupted higher-up Rangers or those terrorists I introduced in an early post (or that crazy dragon trainer Darius) :p

On the other hand, I'm also totally good with killing her off at the end......

This RP is going pretty fast. I wouldn't expect most of them to go quite this fast. They usually seem to get a post every three or four days. Of course, this is also the first roleplay I've had that hasn't had someone drop out partway through, and that usually accounts for a lot of time lost. I think we're all doing pretty good here though.

I'll probably have Ebony thrown in the same cage as Ruby and Moss, and then have Lucie and her team put in an empty cage right next to theirs. The cage is only four feet tall so it's a little small for her, but they're poachers so they really don't care. Beyond that I don't really know what to do, apart from having Scott beaten, so I'll probably introduce Sebastion and Kaya to Scarlet pretty soon and get them started in our direction, unless you have another idea to pass the time while the other two finish their battles.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 15 2014, 04:37 AM

I was actually thinking about making her a second character down the road (because I can never get enough characters), like have her arrested or something and then when I have enough RPs under my belt (and manage to get her approved) have her be released and having to start everything over with a grudge on the people in this RP. Since it'll take a while for that to happen I think it'd be pretty fun. Having someone try to kill her would just make her keep an even bigger grudge. :P

Yeah, I assumed it was going pretty fast but still, it's pretty nice.

I was thinking to have Lucie and Scott speak to have them interacting with actual characters in the RP that aren't side characters or NPCs while two of their pokémon manage to sneak out to get the keys or something. Would need a bit more planning than that, but still.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 17 2014, 12:52 AM

Once the escape happens and Scott gets out, if he can still move at that point he'll probably go straight for the shotgun. He's gonna want revenge for getting beaten up. Of course, he's only fired a gun one day in his entire life (which happened to be using a stolen handgun in the previous roleplay against this group to try to break the locks on some cages) so he'll never hit anything/anyone. But if he shoots at her, she'll probably end up angry about it somehow. (Or he could actually graze her with one or more of the shotgun pellets, which would send her to the hospital, which would give her a chance to escape......)

Or one of our Pokemon could bite her really hard and refuse to let go, leaving her with some kind of ugly scar. That might work too.

Or both. Or something else, maybe Ruby could try to light her on fire......

As for having Scott and Lucie interact, it may be a little while until Scott can say much...... but you can try to talk to Ebony, and through him Ruby or Moss (Moss will wake everyone he can reach up with Heal Bell). He'll try and do better than giving mental images of signs saying "Yes Swim?" but no guarantees he'll be understandable......

Posted by: FirePower Oct 22 2014, 05:36 PM

Just to let y'all know in advance, I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year. I'll do my best to stay active here, but my activity should make a big drop in November.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 22 2014, 05:38 PM

I'm gonna try NaNoWriMo too, actually! Not sure if my activity will drop, though.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 22 2014, 07:25 PM

I couldn't really think of any good way for Ebony or Ruby to try and get Lucie's attention and possibly get her to talk to them, apart from simply having on of them stare at her. If you want me to change something so you can post more easily, just say so and I'll try to think of something better......

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 22 2014, 07:32 PM

Well, Ruby's flames also kinda work, seeing as how they're probably extremely hot and kinda hard to miss. That with the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at will probably snap her out of it.

If you're not happy with your post I can wait a bit so you can think it through a bit more, but know that I'm able to post after it pretty well, so it's your choice.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 22 2014, 08:24 PM

In that case, I choose to be lazy and not make any edits :p
As long as you can post, everything's good.

Posted by: Darkrow Oct 22 2014, 08:37 PM

Psh, shame on you. :P

Gotcha, there'll be a post either later tonight or tomorrow.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 28 2014, 12:14 PM

We might want to figure out how long we are willing to wait for someone to post before skipping them. Maybe a week?

Posted by: Hydra Oct 28 2014, 04:31 PM

Sounds fair to Me 7E, it's usually Me the one that disappears but hopefully my time to RP will increase very soon with only one final exam for my schooling. However at the moment in the storyline, it would be rather difficult to negotiate leaving a character behind as they have already established themselves the storyline.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Oct 28 2014, 11:22 PM

Well, assuming Kaya makes no post, you could actually just make a post ignoring her entirely and focusing on Scarlet's appearance. I think it would be safe to assume that Kaya isn't going to refuse the request for help, so she could just follow along silently.

You are right though, after this it will probably be harder to skip someone. There just happened to not be any dialog or actions directed specifically at Kaya this round (but rather at both Kaya and Seb), so skipping is possible.

But she still has a few days to make her post before the week limit, so no rush.

Posted by: FirePower Nov 2 2014, 02:15 PM

Sorry, guys!

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 2 2014, 08:55 PM

I might be able to post tomorrow, maybe, but maybe not. Definitely not tonight though.

Posted by: Darkrow Nov 6 2014, 04:50 PM

Sorry about the delay, I'll post either Sunday or Monday... my grandma died last Saturday and the funeral's this Saturday. Once that's sorted out, I'll be more at peace.

Posted by: FirePower Nov 6 2014, 07:34 PM

I'm sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 15 2014, 08:45 PM

I don't know when I'll be posting, because I'm in the middle of writing a paper. It might be late tonight, or it'll be tomorrow.

But more importantly, now we're starting to get into the endgame of the roleplay. I don't want to plan out everything because then it gets boring, but having a few general ideas for what to do next wouldn't hurt.

My thought is that over the next couple posts, Scarlet will lead Kaya and Seb back to the spot of the poacher ambush, find the injured Electrike, and from there figure out where the poacher's have built their outpost.

It gets trickier from there, though. How will Scott's team and Lucie break out of their cages? Ruby can't melt the bars and Ebony isn't capable of doing much either, so that rules my team out...... is there any chance Lucie can pick locks?

If not, my only idea is for one of the poachers, preferably either that female poacher we've already dealt with or some other lesser minion, will see Moss trying to heal Scott and try to put a stop to it, and when he/she can't they'll stupidly try to open the cage to pull Moss out and relocate him elsewhere. And we know where that will end up. From the outside, Ebony and Ruby will have a much better chance of breaking the locks on the cages to let Lucie and some of the nearby wild Pokemon out to assist in their escape. But if anyone has any better ideas, I'm all open.

That leaves one last problem...... when should we try to escape? Right before Scarlet leads Kaya/Seb to the camp, or right afterwards? If we do it before then we serve as a distraction for Kaya and Seb to capitalize on as they attack (maybe they can attack the Absol before it Mega evolves?), but if we do it afterwards then they serve as the distraction so we can at least get Scott and Lucie's Litleo to a safe location before joining the fight.

Or we could even wait for Scarlet to break us out by bashing open the locks, but she's practically guaranteed to get attacked by something during the time it takes to rescue everyone else.

Anything works as long as its feasible, though.

You all may have also noticed that I put an evolution request for Ruby in...... but I'm not entirely sure I wish to evolve her yet, so don't count on having an angry Ninetales as an ally instead of an angry Vulpix.

Now back to writing that paper......

Posted by: Darkrow Nov 15 2014, 08:59 PM

Hmm, I doubt Lucie would be able to pick a lock. She'd probably make too much noise if she knew how anyway. If the cells' bars are wide enough, though, maybe a pokémon could squeeze (painfully) through it to escape and help the others? Or Lucie could get the idea of throwing rocks and stuff at the wild pokémon to enrage them. Otherwise, though it depends on what you make Moss and Ebony do, a healed up Praline could pick the lock or steal the keys from idiotic grunts. Getting Scott's pokémon to communicate with the wild pokémon would probably go something good too. If Lucie is asked to be a diversion, she'll probably be great at it. You know, because bossy loud bitchy brat. If we go with a poacher being an idiot and letting them out to relocate, I'd prefer it if it were a random no-name poacher, if possible.

Either way, options aren't what we lack, so that's good.

Posted by: FirePower Nov 15 2014, 09:12 PM

Sounds good to me. If the relocating idea doesn't work out, we always have Hydra's Vigroth to set you loose (though that may not be the safest method of escape).

While I'm here, does anyone mind if Kaya takes Eletrike with her (provided the mods approve)? She'd think it belonged to a victim, and she'd want to return it to its owner. She'd probably hand it over to a Pokémon center off-screen after the roleplay ends.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 15 2014, 11:02 PM

Kaya can keep the Electrike for herself, if she wants. If your intent is just to keep it for the roleplay and then give it away afterwards, I don't think you need mod approval. You just need their approval to capture and keep it.

I'd forgotten about Vigoroth. It would work, but I'm afraid there'd be a battle between it and Ruby/Ebony/Moss to keep it from attacking either themselves or Scott while he's defenseless, and that would prevent them from helping out against the boss poacher's strong Pokemon.

Apart from hissing and just generally being noisy if someone tries to forcefully pull him out of the cage, Moss won't be doing much. He's too weak to help much in battle (although he's only a level lower than most of Kaya's team, he and the rest of Scott's team generally think of him as weak) and he'll probably just follow Scott to keep healing him.

Ebony, and later Scarlet, will probably follow Lucie to keep helping her out, while Ruby will go off in her own direction and either go looking for the Fire Stone to evolve or meet up with Kaya and Seb to assist them, and possibly both. Depending on how the battle goes, her primary objective will be to either help out (she's level 24 and knows flamethrower, so she should be useful) or to break open as many cages as she can so that as many wild Pokemon are freed as possible, some of whom will likely join the battle to help out.

Ruby will likely end up fighting the Mega Absol eventually, hopefully with help (or while helping) everyone else. But my only definitive battle plan is for Ebony to fight the boss's Umbreon. Again. And preferably 1v1.
____________________________

As for the escape ideas, the only wild Pokemon nearby for Ebony to talk to (since Ruby and Moss would never do such a thing) are three Growlithe, a Torterra, and an Armaldo. The Growlithe are the closest, in the same lie of cages as Scott's team and Lucie, but they're probably no stronger than Ruby and won't be able to break out on their own. The Torterra and Armaldo are in larger, stronger cages, but they might be able to break out on their own.

That does, actually, give me an idea...... which might change up the events somewhat. But I finished my paper, so I might as well make the post now and let chaos take over. Lucie's either going to love Ebony or absolutely hate him when this is over.

Posted by: Darkrow Nov 16 2014, 02:04 AM

Opened up an opportunity for a little fun, if you're willing to go that way (and if you feel it's realistic considering what your pokémon can do). Could get Ebony (or Ruby or Moss, w/e) to convince little miss skeleton's pokémon to rebel against her and help them.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 16 2014, 12:34 PM

Hmm. Well, I doubt it's possible for us to sneak out now, but it never really was supposed to work out that way anyway. It's more fun if we have to fight our way out :p

I don't know about convincing that poacher's team to switch sides, but I can at least give them doubts as to whether they can win by making Ruby like as angry and scary as possible. She's about to use Flamethrower for the first time (she learned it with the levels from the fanfic contest) and with all that fire she built up trying to melt the cage bars, it's going to work out pretty well. And if the Pokemon don't think they can win, and they know that if they lose the demon poacher girl will hurt them, they might just turn and run.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 18 2014, 02:12 PM

As you all may have noticed, I like long posts for important parts. I hope you all don't mind reading all that stuff :p

I think that by accident I may have thrown in too many poachers for us all to deal with, so it may be best to simply focus on getting Scott and Lucie and their Pokemon out of the camp. Other Rangers and police can assault the camp later on after the roleplay. We'll have to destroy the poacher's helicopter to prevent them from moving all the cages elsewhere, though. It makes it feel kinda like a special forces raid that Scarlet, Kaya, and Sebastion are going to have to do. The only thing is, that will make it a bit hard for Seb to find enough time to capture that Cranidos.

...... Or we could go on an all-out assault, but I just nerfed Ruby so that will end up being all Kaya and Seb against a dozen poachers, including their boss. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you guys want to, go right ahead. You might want to focus some attacks on the padlocks that keep the cages closed so that you can get extra help.

And on the same note as Ruby's use of fire attacks to cause fear, Seb should definitely throw out that evil Vigoroth so it can cause it's own fear.




On a slightly related note, I did realize that I also forced myself into a hole, giving Scott all those injuries but forgetting that in one of my first few posts I grounded all the Ranger helicopters so there isn't going to be a helicopter to fly him back to the hospital...... but we'll deal with that later. Somehow. Maybe we could somehow call a civilian helicopter to pick us up.

EDIT: I know I might have rushed few things such as the defeat of that female poacher and having Scarlet/Seb/Kaya find the poacher base, so if anyone wants me to change something to maybe slow things down a little bit or make it easier for you to post, just say something. Also, I'm planning on Scott finally waking up in my next post, but if someone wants him to wake up earlier than that, then you can have him start to wake up in your post. He probably won't be able to say much or move very far, though.

Posted by: Darkrow Nov 21 2014, 05:02 PM

Sorry for the delay, college has been eating me alive

By Sunday there'll be a post!

Posted by: FirePower Nov 21 2014, 10:00 PM

Unless anyone feels up to hijacking the helicopter, I could have it blow up in the next RP, by getting some charizard ot something break out.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 22 2014, 12:06 AM

I would love to hijack the helicopter...... but none of us can fly one, so there isn't much of a point unless we throw in some kind of NPC ally (like a random Hiker or another Ranger) who can fly a helicopter, or threaten a poacher (that demon woman?) into flying us back. So unless we do that, we'll have to destroy it or at least damage it so that it can't safely be flown without repairs that the poachers won't be able to make.

Posted by: FirePower Nov 22 2014, 07:34 PM

So, blowing it up, then?

On a somewhat similar note, we may need some air-based mode of escape. If we don't completely take out the poachers they'll be able to follow us, and we wouldn't be able to get far with an injured Scott and an out-of-shape (and incredibly whiney) Lucie. We could, as you said, get an NPC to fly the chopper for us, or we could convince one or more of the escaped pokemon to let us ride on them. On the other hand, we could just hold the poachers off until someone calls the police/rangers and said police/rangers get on the scene. What do y'all think?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 22 2014, 09:42 PM

I hadn't thought of using the Pokemon we free to give us a ride home. That's probably the best idea. Scott doesn't have one of the Ranger whistles that his partner uses to summon wild Pokemon to help out, but it still shouldn't be hard to find something that can fly him back to the hospital. Finding enough flying Pokemon to carry everyone will be harder though, but still not impossible, especially if someone decides they want to remain behind, since I don't know if Seb would want to go back into town with Scott since the police and the Rangers and also the media will be questioning everyone and the whole reason he's here in this region is to avoid the police......

Being a forest, I would think of forest birds as being the most common, and using Serebii's third gen pokedex the only forest bird was Pidgey and its evos. It wouldn't be too hard to believe that the poachers would be able to capture a whole flock of Pidgeot, would it? They could easily be our ride out. Even without knowing Fly, they should be able to get us at least partway back to Fidona. We could also use the Charizard you mentioned earlier or something else.

Lets just hope Lucie isn't afraid of heights, or we might have to tie her to one of the birds :p

Another idea would be to find a group of Pokemon that can use Teleport (not someone with a psuedo-teleport like Scarlet, but someone who can actually use Teleport like an Alakazam) and have them take us to safety.

Posted by: Darkrow Nov 25 2014, 03:02 PM

Well then, I thought yesterday was Sunday and I was busy all day... sorry for the delay (and short-ish post)!

And Lucie has never really been off the ground, before, so yes, she's scared of flight. Either she'll have to be strapped to a pokémon (which would piss her off royally) or she'll have to be clinging to someone (which would embarrass her). Either way, both work for me. :P

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Nov 25 2014, 10:46 PM

I have a feeling that there will be a drop in activity for most of us for the next couple weeks...... with this week being Thanksgiving and the next couple weeks being college finals. So no problems with any delays.

I do look forward to either strapping Lucie to a bird, or letting the bird carry her by grabbing her shoulders/arms with its feet :p

Posted by: Darkrow Nov 25 2014, 11:17 PM

Well, I'm French-Canadian, so no Thanksgiving for me. :P

Oh, don't worry, I'm looking forward to it too. Should be lots of fun.

Posted by: Hydra Dec 3 2014, 06:44 PM

Apologies for not replying so far. I seem to be in a state where I've actually got no idea what I am supposed to do next in this roleplay, so if somebody could please help me thin out what needs to happen next and what my character has to do to help out would be much appreciated. (Not sure if it's a writers block or just lack of inspiration to roleplay to be honest though!)

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Dec 3 2014, 11:21 PM

Here's a quick synopsis of the last series of posts-

Seb, Kaya, and Scarlet have arrived at the outside wall of the poacher base. From the hills around the outside of the base, you can see over the walls giving you a glimpse of what the inside of the fort looks like, and what is going on in there.

Scarlet and Kaya have both already entered the place, with Kaya heading to free some of the trapped wild Pokemon while Scarlet has, for the time being, disappeared from view.

Kaya's brief fight with a poacher led to a Charizard breaking out, who promptly lit the poacher's helicopter on fire and caused it to explode. Not too far from there is where Scott and Lucie are. Scott will be waking up in my next post, and he'll be able to talk, but he won't be able to move much more than his arms.

And then on the opposite side of the fort is where Ebony and Ruby are fighting with several poachers. They don't have any assistance yet, and Ruby has used up all of the fire in her internal flame sack, so they will be defeated unless they get some major help.

Although no one can see where she is right now, Scarlet is actively trying to open some of the cages to get wild Pokemon to help out while at the same time avoiding the poachers so she isn't caught.
_______________________________________________________

Seb has a couple options for what he could do-

He could simply follow Kaya and help her.
He could try and help Ebony/Ruby.
He could try to follow Scarlet, lose track of her, and end up separated from everyone else doing whatever he pleases.
He could find Cranidos and help it escape.
He could find Scott and Lucie.
He could sit back on the hills watching everyone else fight while he eats popcorn.
Or he could do what Kaya did and go in a random direction, fight some poachers, and maybe free some wild Pokemon to help out.

We could also either skip you for this round (and just assume that Seb entered the fort and is doing something), or I could switch spots with you so that I post, then you post, and then Lucie and Kaya have their turns before you post again and we return to the normal posting order.

For now, I'm going to say that the lead poacher is outside the fort...... but he will be returning shortly. That's why his Absol and Umbreon haven't showed up yet, and probably won't show up until we've got a chance at beating him.

Posted by: Hydra Dec 4 2014, 08:08 PM

Sorry for the wait guys! My latest post is now up though, and who knew that Sebastian could actually play the role of the hero rather well? xD. In short I had Sebastian use the explosion of the helicopter nearby serve as a major distraction to allow him to enter the base. The area was almost clear of grunts, however one pesky guy had stuck around and tried to kill Seb. Sebastian and his team overcame the poacher armed with a gun and then slowly worked to help remove some pokemon from their cages, with Blade serving as a scout in the air while Jaws and his new friend Cranidos (Whom they saved and is the one Seb will eventually capture) are breaking open the cages.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Dec 4 2014, 11:47 PM

I'll try and post tonight, but it might take me a while to think of something good...... with Scott waking up and Ruby/Ebony surrounded by enemies. What I really need is a way to get everyone to meet up at one spot, but beyond having everyone randomly end up in the same spot I can't really think of anything. Well, Scott and Lucie are close to the center of the poacher base, so I suppose randomly running across them shouldn't be too hard......

Now then, what should we set on fire next......?

Posted by: Darkrow Dec 5 2014, 12:10 AM

Lucie's hair?

Other than random running, I'd have Scarlet lead everyone to each other? Either way, I'll follow. :P

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Dec 5 2014, 01:11 AM

Seems like nothing was burned or blown up this time :p

...... wait, this isn't going to start a massive forest fire, is it? That would be really, really bad......

I left Seb alone to do his own thing for the most part, but it wouldn't be hard for Blade to either lead Seb to Scott and Lucie or to Ebony and Ruby, whom I also didn't mention in the post. I just wasn't sure what all to do with him. Of course, since he's alone, he does also make a good first target for the boss and his Mega Absol...... and that Absol could be the thing that brings us all together in one location.

Kaya, on the other hand, might want to get away from that Charizard before she gets surrounded (or burned). I also had Beacon find Scott, so you can do what you want with that. Oh, and I sent a random Riolu your way, but you don't have to actually use him for anything. Between him and the Pidgeot flock and the Charizard, though, maybe you do have a chance against the poachers headed your way......

Posted by: FirePower Dec 5 2014, 07:28 PM

Kaya's Absol is searching for Scott. She could lead Kaya to Scott and Lucie.

And as far as fighting the poacher boss, we do have a vengeful, powerful (lv. 50-ish) Charizard on our side.

Posted by: Darkrow Dec 10 2014, 09:29 PM

I'm still here, however haven't been roleplaying for a while and haven't had much muse since I've been so busy irl. I'll keep pushing through and help get this roleplay done.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Dec 30 2014, 12:51 AM

Seems like we should get this wrapped up soon then...... I suppose we should try and get everyone together in the same location, then throw in the boss and beat him.

For grading purposes, it might help us if we manage a single, decent-length battle together against the poachers instead of all of these very short battles on our own. I didn't really keep up with Kaya's and Seb's posts before they met Scarlet, so I'm not too aware of whether they've had a good battle or not...... but I think Lucie is still in need of a decent fight where her Pokemon last longer than two or three attacks. I don't know if any of our characters carry potions/revives to get Lucie's team back into decent condition, but I bet we can find some lying around somewhere and Scott's bag has both Oran and a couple Leppa berries for health and energy. I'm sure there would be a few poachers with Pokemon that have levels lower than 10 among the group, so targeting them shouldn't be too hard, and you can always grab one of Scott's (or Kaya's or Seb's) Pokemon and pull them into the battle to try and get extra help. Meanwhile, I'll be trying to find a way to get Scott to interact with everyone so he can actually make a difference in the fight...... might want to do this battle before fighting the boss, or we could fight the boss alone while all the poachers watch, and then when he loses they make a last-ditch effort to try and save themselves. I don't think our teams can take on both the boss and all of his minions at the same time, though.

I'll switch spots with Darkrow, then, so it's Firepower's turn and then Hydra's followed by Dark and then me.

Also, Hydra, since you've managed to free Cranidos and complete your main objective (and lost Magby/Elekid in the process), you don't have to continue if you don't want to or are too busy. Our other characters should be able to find a way to manage to battle without your help, although it'll be a lot harder for us since your team's levels are much higher than most of ours. But that's your choice.

I am hoping to have this RP completely done by the end of the month.

Is anyone still here?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Jan 22 2015, 02:01 PM

I am, but I couldn't say anything since I didn't want to triple post, lol.

I'll probably go ahead and make a post soon since the other two haven't posted. Might be this afternoon before work, or it might not be until tonight.

I can post tomorrow (technically later today but bleh); I kinda was waiting for signs of life from Hydra...

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Jan 23 2015, 01:47 PM

Sorry. I got a little impatient since it's been nearly three weeks since the last post.

Posted by: FirePower Feb 21 2015, 04:07 PM

I hate to be a broken record, but are any of y'all still here?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Feb 21 2015, 10:42 PM

I am, but I don't know about the other two. Might as well skip them and try to finish this up.

'Kay. Are we going to fight to poacher boss, or should I dispatch the Pidgeot rescue squad?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Feb 23 2015, 11:49 PM

Either one works. If we run, I have a good reason to bring him back in another future roleplay, but if we fight we get the extra battle experience. Of course, Kaya is essentially the only one going to be battling apart from the rescued wild Pokemon and whatever parts of Scott's team she can recover (probably just Scarlet), so battling would be hard but protecting everyone long enough to get on the Pidgeots and flee would be pretty hard too.

For the sake of the levels gained at the end, it might be best if we at least try to fight together, though. If it looks like we're losing the Pidgeots can always just grab everyone and fly away.

You can have the birds grab Ebony and Ruby and bring them back to Kaya/Scott if you want, too, since they aren't real likely to come otherwise until they beat all the poachers around them...... which probably isn't going to happen. They'll be too tired to help out much, though.

I'm bringing in the Charizard from earlier, since I can't think of any other way we can win (without endangering out transportation out, anyways). If you don't want it, let me know and I'll get rid of that part.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Mar 4 2015, 11:36 PM

All the ways I can think of would either be really risky and probably not work, or they involve stealing a poacher's gun and going nuts, so using Charizard is probably the safest/easiest/least violent way to do things.

Posted by: FirePower Mar 12 2015, 10:35 PM

My post is almost done. Before I post it, do you mind if I bunny the Mega Absol to have it grab Beacon?

Oh, and if you want to, feel free to move along the conversation and get us all out of the base if you want (this will make more sense once I post).

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Mar 13 2015, 02:44 PM

You may use the Mega Absol and all the other opposing Pokemon as you like. I may or may not end up doing a few things with the boss's Umbreon though, so don't do too much with him, but everyone else is fair game.

Posted by: FirePower Mar 15 2015, 01:56 PM

Final question: Do you want to do the last post, or should I with this one?

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Mar 15 2015, 08:15 PM

I will make a closing post for Scott, but you can get us out of the poachers base if you want.

I like being able to close things up, and having Scott and Amber talking in the hospital would wrap things up for me pretty well. If you want to make a final post after that, feel free.

Posted by: FirePower Mar 22 2015, 03:06 PM

So, that'll be my last post for the RP.

Posted by: 7eeveelutions Mar 22 2015, 08:03 PM

All right. I'll make my closing post and submit the RP for grading. Hopefully that won't take too long.
