Re: Pokémon Alexandrite

(^That was to Dawn. Ignore it, Ian.)

Now it is Venus' turn to sigh. "It's not that I don't value opinion , it's that you don't value anyone's opinion. And I think the others can see that. I think if this ever was your home, that the walls, the very streets beneath our feet, renounce you. And as to your expressive gesture, well, tu peux va faire foutre, ma cherie.

Now, I'm done with this argument you're trying to have, Luna. The group comes first. So long as everyone gets the chance to be heard, I'm happy with whatever we decide to do."

After this little speech, Venus sits down cross legged and begins to play with the pokémon around her, both her own and others. She produces tasty treats for the pokémon and for any human that wants something to eat.

(out of curiosity, are there cell phones in Johto?)

May is standing at the door with her Turtwig "Can we decide that later? The human that controls the shadow Peliper can't be far away so I'd suggest trying to track him or her down. Then we can either shadow the person and see where he goes or we can capture him or her and 'convince' him or her to speak. I am sure that the person with the Peliper has a higher rank within Team Rocket, if in fact he or she belongs to those scum. So what do you guys think?" May looked around the silent room in order to see her new friends reaction...

"Well, if no one else has any definite ideas, I'm in." says Venus, looking up. She then returns to what she was doing and waits for the others.

by Doomwing Fri Apr 27, 2012 10:52 pm

"It is a better plan than Venus's." Luna chuckles and gives Venus a friendly glare. "I shall remain behind with Aaron and keep him company while you track him down. Unless he Objects."

(This is a time where Dave should post now.)

"For the last time I don't have a plan . Or, if you want to call it that, my "plan" is to make sure everyone gets a chance to be heard ."

(Yeah, I've been saying Dave could and should have posted anytime in about the last, what? Six? Seven(?) Posts?)

(Ok, enough sitting around.)

Suddenly, Aaron's face goes pale. With a shaky voice, he speaks up,

"Luna, does this place have a back door?"

He points toward the door, finishing,

"We might need it...."

The group looks over to see a large sphere outside the door, black on one half and white on the other. Glowing red eyes stared at the group.

*Elll-eeeecc-ttrrrroooooddeee*

Luna looks over. "Yeah! Everyone Follow me!" She helps Aaron up and leads them into Theo's workshop past old pokemart equipment and to an iron door. "Inside!"

by 99luftballons Wed May 02, 2012 9:05 pm

May catches up to Luna, while glancing at the poke-mart equipment. "Do you have a repel? It might buy us some time." She asked Luna the question as she went through the iron door.

by Sheogorath Wed May 02, 2012 9:34 pm

Aaron stumbles in after May.

"Something tells me a repel isn't going to work on a Shadow Pokemon."

The Shadow Electrode rolls into the room, and starts to turn black, sparking and crackling.

by Doomwing Thu May 03, 2012 6:35 am

Luna opens the metal door as fast as she can. "Its all empty you know." she nods at the equipment. "These are The older machines from the Pokemart in town. Theo used to run it before Team Rocket."

The door swings open and reveilles the entrance to the sewer system.

Dawn, having been sitting near the door, sprints across the room (giving the Shadow Electrode plenty of space) to the iron door.

President WIN wrote:Venus frowns slightly and addresses the group thoughtfully. "The way I see it, our bottom line is this: we need to assess our position and decide on a course of action. Now let's consider." Venus ticks off points on her hands;

"1. How strong are we? What CAN we do against team Rocket?"
"2. How coordinated is Team Rocket? I've studied organizational structure, and history. I know that in the past, Team Rocket hasn't been highly coordinated; in fact, they had fatal weaknesses at the best of times, and at the worst they were, well, incompetent. So,"
"3. What makes them different now?"
"4. How much power can they muster all at once if we were to attack them, and how fast?"
"5. Where is their power concentrated, and how do they maintain it?"
Venus switches from her right hand to her left.
"6. How easily could they track us if we fought insurgent style, and what could we do to make it harder for them to track us?"
"7. How can we get stronger, if we're too weak to do against them directly right now?"
"8. How DO we want to fight Team Rocket?"
"9.Will having a permanent base be a liability or an asset to our fight, and how would we operate without one? and"
"10. Which of all of those do we need to know the most, and how can we figure it out?"

Luna drops her hands to her sides. "That pretty much covers it right? So what do we all think?"

(Dave, answer the questions. On the run at the very least.)

Venus quickly pokédexes the Electrode as she moves in generally the same direction as the group.

(I'm hoping pokédexes can give some idea of the power level of individual pokémon in this world, as we have no other way of telling the strengths of our opponents, except fighting them and watching what the DM says; and Venus doesn't want to do that to her pokémon, so that is the information Venus is trying to find out, not general stuff on the Electrode species.)

by **Flagmauth** Wed May 09, 2012 5:16 am

"No offense, Venus, but I think this proves Luna's point about needing to move before we discussed everything under the sun." said Dawn, who had reached the back door.

by 99luftballons Wed May 09, 2012 7:58 am

May just keeps running wherever she would get pointed to. She was hoping that after Venus's scan that the electrode wouldn't appear as strong as it looked.

by President WIN Wed May 09, 2012 9:16 pm

"That was my point, not Luna's." Venus replies. "In the beginning, I wanted the answers to a few simple questions, Luna decided to discuss whether the gym leaders and all of you should be allowed to answer me or not, and I don't know about you, but that seems kinda dumb to me."

(Seriously, what's wrong with trying to get some information, and give this thing a plot, rather than just have it be us on the running/fighting all the time? If that's the idea, this is kind of pointless. Dave, get on here more regularly, and pay attention to things like the gym leaders being asked questions, s'il vous plait.)

by Doomwing Thu May 10, 2012 6:33 am

"No i wasn't." Luna says. "I was repeating, 'We need to move before they attack us.' and you were going on about how we should plan everything out."

Luna smirks. "Oh and I TOLD YOU SO!"

by President WIN Fri May 11, 2012 4:42 pm

"Acutally, as I recall, you were advocating that we go in the direction that electrode came from, so, yeah. You told me to get myself and the others to get themselves killed. Sounds like good advice to me..., oh, and then you decided that answering questions was a bad idea. So, yeah..."

by 99luftballons Fri May 11, 2012 5:46 pm

May stopped in her running and went back toward Luna and Venus. "Stop arguing right now, you should save your energy by running if your life is dear to you." The May turns around and begins to gain momentum for her run.

by President WIN Fri May 11, 2012 5:56 pm

"Good advice, May." Venus stares pointedly at Dawn and Luna, who started this last spat.

(We can't do anything until Dave is on. Everyone, stop posting until Dave posts. NOW. Oh, and could y'all by any chance do me the favor of ignoring things I CAN'T CHANGE. Like Dave having the gym leaders ignore my questions?)

(THis is not to the electrode Trey, it was to an entrance to the sewer in the opposite direction)

(No, it isn't toward the Electrode, but this is after the Electrode showed up. Before that, the direction Luna was advocating would have been toward the Electrode.)

by Doomwing Sat May 12, 2012 12:05 pm

(And how does that make sense? before then it was safe to head in that direction. We were not expecting an Electrode now were we?)

by President WIN Sat May 12, 2012 8:43 pm

(No, but it would have led us in the direction of the Electrode. That's all that counts. It's not like just because it hadn't come in yet that it wasn't out there waiting for us.)

by Doomwing Sat May 12, 2012 8:54 pm

"How the hell was I supposed to know that there was a Fraking Electrode out there Venus? You can't just blame me for telling us to go in an Obvious Direction. Now here we are about to enter the Sewers because of an Electrode which is entirely out of my control! Now I agree we need to Stop arguing. Because at this point, It will get us nowhere. And NO we do not need to answer a list of questions at one time." Luna leads them into the sewer. "Well… here we are."

by President WIN Sat May 12, 2012 9:17 pm

(Do you, or do you not, understand the difference between in-character and out-of-character? NONE of our discussion just now was in character.)
