The Rebirth of an Icon 21:41 Suchanut02 Devin walks towards the exit, dreading what comes next.... 21:46 RefMankey Devin Bark looked defeated. The crowds, even in their leave, didn't seem to help his cause. The stadium walls became normally accessible once again, allowing free access to a now solid flooring. The metal-hooked Asagi, who settled in the backrow for the whole match, decided to walk alongside the defeated Trainer. 21:48 RefMankey The low pitch from the steps proved she was one /large/ woman, but she wasn't fixated on fighting Devin. The girl about made her choice, and because Devin seemed like the man to ask: "Mind if I walk with you?" 21:50 Suchanut02 "Sure." Devin says, with something clearly bothering him. 21:56 RefMankey Asagi, if slightly pale-faced, displayed her typical smiling demeanor. She tilted her head to the right; her eyes opened slightly. Asagi paused. A soft tone, with inquisitive eyes, tried to peek into Devin's inner workings: "Did the battle upset you?" 21:58 Suchanut02 "Slightly... But once Cress told me about why he did what he did, that made me feel better" Devin says "But what I'm worried about is what's coming up next..." 21:59 Suchanut02 "You have met Beato right?" Devin asks, getting ready to explain his troubles. 22:03 Suchanut02 "Her parents has been afflicted with the same coma that mine have, and only with her it was a Haunter that caused it." 22:09 RefMankey The battle was a...slight problem. She knew Devin was a long-winded speaker, so she decided to listen in on Devin's concerns. There was a nod to the Beato question, followed by: "Yep. Here, to be exact." 22:10 RefMankey Asagi was about to embrace Devin with her open-arm, but her hand jerked back when she realized her arm only went down to his shoulder. Stopping in the middle of the stairs would be too awkward for the girl! 22:15 RefMankey "Always talking property /this/, agreement /that/...I'd imagine so." While she appeared very unnervedm Asagi kept these thoughts open. "Have you heard anything else from Beato? Whereabouts, plans..." 22:15 RefMankey Truth be told, these problems weren't just Devin's. 22:18 Suchanut02 "Yes actually.... She want's me to travel to Castellia City with her that way we can both get help from Professor Fennel. But she want's to keep Ruto's memory's intact, so she came up with some device that's supposed to do just that and keep her from turning on me." 22:22 RefMankey Asagi covered her open mouth with a hand. She made clear it wasn't the scenario: "Goodness Arceus, Devin, you've a plague and a half after you! Let's discuss this elsewhere." For Devin's security, Asagi urged Devin to exit the Gym; Heavens forbid one of the challengers catch his story. 22:24 Suchanut02 "Alright.' Devin says, looking around as he walks towards the exit. 22:25 RefMankey Thankfully for the two, not many ears fell on Devin's or Beato's woeful stories. 22:25 RefMankey ( #UnovaStriatonCity ) 22:31 RefMankey Green, peaceful, and open. If the green matched Asagi's vest, then both Striaton's environment and the Gym matched clearly. Citizens walked, biked, rode on Pokemon, and even spoke without contempt. Likewise, so did Asagi, who kept her head straight with discussion. However, she briefly switched the subject: "Should we stop somewhere, or just walk?"
22:34 Suchanut02 "Either one is fine with me." Devin says while watching people go by "Though my feet kind of hurt from standing on that battle podium..."
22:40 RefMankey There was a giggle from Asagi, one who then caught wind of an open park bench. Without much of a word, she shifted towards this bench and sat down. She figured Devin would do the same.
22:44 Suchanut02 Devin sits down on the bench as well, ready to talk more about this new delema
22:49 Suchanut02 "What should I do?" Devin asks Asagi "I don't want to put that device on Ruto and suppress her emotions, then again, I don't want her to be manipulated into harming me by her previous trainer, Ichiro Tatsumi..."
23:01 RefMankey Devin was a fast speaker; a "wait, repeat?" from /Asagi/ only confirmed this character trait of Devin's. IT wasn't until the phase "device on Ruto" and "suppress her emotions" that Asagi lurched backwards a few degrees. "H-hold on, Devin," she said, grabbing Devin by the shoulder with her right hand. "You've given me a lot to process."
23:02 RefMankey She had to start somewhere, and this is where Asagi started spawning ideas. "Where should we begin?" Her face looked stern, but her voice was calm and relaxed.

Tatsumi Ichiro 17:24 Suchanut02 "I don't know... maybe about this Ichiro Tatsumi?" Devin asks "Have you heard about him?"
17:26 RefMankey Asagi shook her head; that was the extent of her knowledge. "So you don't know anything about him either?"
17:30 Suchanut02 "Nothing except for this note that Ruto led me to." Devin says as he pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his backpack and shows it to her " It was in the woods on Rout 3 if I remember correctly."
17:37 RefMankey "Oh, a note?" Asagi tilted downwards to read this newfound proof. First thing that came to her mind was its detail - this looked like a printed note. From there, she silently read its contents.
17:38 RefMankey "Hey, Devin. I'm glad you finally read this terrible letter. Sorry for the chickenscratch; I tried this time to get it right. " /Liar/. "Anyways, I need you to know something about your parents. You might've grieved over them once, twice, maybe a thousand times. But that's not the issue."
17:38 RefMankey "That's my doing." /What/? "I thought you needed some time alone. My agent, who may be curling around you /right/ /now/, is the one to thank. The scene, the injury, that was all my doing. But don't fret, Devin! I know you well."
17:38 RefMankey "Because you know more than anyone: the GREATEST OF HOPES can overcome ANY distress! Kudos, Devin! -Ichiro Tatsumi"
17:41 RefMankey Glassy eyes, to fit with a straight mouth, narrowed. Asagi couldn't help but scratch her head - she used her hand, of course. "O...kay. I've never seen an attack this /bold/ before." Asagi wasn't sure if she should be thankful or petrified.
17:43 Suchanut02 "I know.... The thing is, I don't remember a Ichiro Tatsumi at all..."
17:47 RefMankey Asagi noticed Devin's hands trembling, his thoughts in shambles. This girl needed to tread over thin ice to get to the point. "Not from school or anything? This is...messed up."
17:50 Suchanut02 "Not from school, not from my parents work, and not from helping my neighbors..." Devin says, replying to Asagi's "digging"
17:52 RefMankey Asagi's index finger rose. "Then why would he attach himself to a horrendous...crime like that?"
17:55 Suchanut02 "I have no idea, Asagi." Devin says, looking at Ruto's Pokeball (With her inside it) "I don't know of anyone that my family knew that could have done this ether..."
18:00 RefMankey The confounding extended to Asagi, who didn't know Devin or his parents enough to judge. "Family?" Her attention twisted to the Poke Ball, which returned her smile. "Oh! We should probably head to the Pokemon Center."

There's No Reason Not To Capitalize 18:40 <Suchanut02>: "That might be smart." Devin says as he stands up "Thank you for being my friend Asagi." 18:41 <RefereeMankey>: (Timeskip?) 18:41 <Suchanut02>: (Sure) 18:44 <RefereeMankey>: "Anything I can do, Devin." Caveats unmentioned, Asagi walked with her partner to heal Pokemon. Interestingly, Scheherazade was nowhere to be found upon entrance to the Center. Regardless, Devin spent an incredibly short amount of time in Striaton's Pokemon Center. The Nurse at the counter spent longer than usual with Ruto's Pokeball, though beyond this, 18:44 <RefereeMankey>: she had nothing unusual to report. Perhaps she was just tired. 18:45 <RefereeMankey>: Striaton City, vast as it was, lied open to Devin and Asagi. Could they hook themselves to one mission? 18:48 <Suchanut02>: "Well... I still need to find Beato that way we can go to Castelia City... Since she has the Munna." 18:48 <Suchanut02>: Devin thinks out-loud. 18:53 <RefereeMankey>: Ever-pensive, Asagi gave her friend plenty of time to consider his option. The road to Castelia was no cake-walk, considering the travelers on that road. There was no doubt that Devin would find the training along the way, however. And plus, as Asagi would say: "We'll need to pass Nacrene first. For all it's worth, you could use a Fighting-type." There were a 18:54 <RefereeMankey>: million reasons to have a Fighting-type Pokemon at-hand, though knowing Asagi's background, Devin should clearly know what she's talking about. 18:57 <Suchanut02>: "Yeah, having a Fighting-type would be a smart choice in the long run..." Devin says, thinking about the future "What Fighting-type would you suggest?" 19:00 <RefereeMankey>: "Haixi - Meditite - was always fun." A giggle. "They're rare, though. I can show you where I found mine." She offered her hand for a hand-shake. 19:01 <Suchanut02>: (Brb) 19:01 <RefereeMankey>: ( kk ) 19:23 <Suchanut02>: (Bck) 19:23 <Suchanut02>: (....) 19:25 <Suchanut02>: "What are some of the other options?" asks Devin "It's always good to know the choices." 19:32 <RefereeMankey>: Asagi, at one point, considered telling Devin /everything/ about Pinwheel. However, she rejected the idea, and instead spoke more simply of the options: "Pinwheel has a little bit of everything - Timburr, Pidove, Starly among those. Times change, though." 19:36 <Suchanut02>: "Can we go by the Pokemart first? I might need a Pokeball or two" Devin says remembering that he had used his last Pokeball on Spike. 19:37 <RefereeMankey>: "Sure thing," Asagi said with her trademark smile. A short distance later was the local Pokemart. 19:40 <RefereeMankey>: A busy little place it was, with three customers exiting as soon as the two walked by. (#UnovaStriatonCityPokemartI ) 19:43 <RefereeMankey>: Enter one of the first Pokemarts established in Striaton. While a busy place, Striaton's Mart kept wonderfully organized shelves full of goods. Potions, Poke Balls, guidebooks, rods - this place had it /all/. Asagi decided to pick one of these books up - "Beginning Training," was this one's title. 19:43 <RefereeMankey>: Have fun with the lines! Sure, these were plentiful, but they moved by rather quickly. 19:45 <Suchanut02>: Devin heads to the Pokeball aisle first, and looks at the prices 19:47 <RefereeMankey>: Pokeballs had their own aisle, but the regular variety came at a wonderful price of 100 Poke. Great Balls served at 200, and the infamous Ultra Balls only reached 300 Poke. Also present are the Nest Ball (250), Heal Ball (150), and a bizarre Unovan knock-off coined the CaptureWhiz (50). The lattermost had by far the most stock. 19:48 <RefereeMankey>: Look at the CaptureWhiz's dark red casing, and you'll notice the shells were softer than a Poke Ball's - a finger could change their shapes. 19:49 <Suchanut02>: (of course the cheapest one is the worst one to get) 19:49 <RefereeMankey>: (They're implied to be worse, but does it actually mean they're bad?) 19:50 <Suchanut02>: (Who knows besides you?) 19:50 <RefereeMankey>: (Nope; just me. You can certainly experiment~) 19:52 <RefereeMankey>: Devin could see a strange, green shape behind a crate of CaptureWhizzes. These PokeBalls smelled strongly of pine and carried a lunar-shape on their top-halves. 19:53 <Suchanut02>: Devin checks the lunar Pokeballs, wondering why those were hidden. 19:56 <RefereeMankey>: At first glance, these Pokeballs resembled Moon Balls, but these Pokeballs' descriptions indicated anything but. As read: "These Lawnballs are built to capture Pokemon in especially grassy conditions! 200 per." 19:57 <Suchanut02>: (does that include forests?) 19:59 <RefereeMankey>: (If they're grassy) 20:03 <Suchanut02>: "I think I'll take note of these and show Asagi." Devin says as he picks up a regular Pokeball, one of the Lawnballs, and a CaptureWhiz "It doesn't hurt to try new things... usually" Devin thinks. 20:06 <RefereeMankey>: With great reach, Devin grabs three Pokeballs for himself. One of the male shop employees turns and smirks at Devin, but that's all from him. Asagi continued to flip through the manual. "...nearest office is...got it!" 20:09 <Suchanut02>: Devin walks over to Asagi and tells her about the new type of Pokeball, and then asked "Are CaptureWhiz's any good?" (He hasn't payed for anything yet mind you) 20:12 <RefereeMankey>: The woman turned to Devin, crouched, and /giggled/. "What?" But she had no idea what Devin was talking about. Closing her book, she inspected this bizarre "CaptureWhiz." She pressed her finger against the ball, and it bent inwards before scrounging out. "Never heard of these, but at least they're squishy." 20:17 <RefereeMankey>: Asagi sounded very light-hearted around texts, and it showed. "They have travel guides here," she mentions. They were open books, after all... 20:19 <Suchanut02>: "Really?" Devin asks as he looks at the titles of the guide books. 20:21 <RefereeMankey>: And among the titles included: "A Brief Guide to Route 3," "Electricity for Beginners," "Challenging a Falling Job Market," "On Comas," "Identifying Celestial Bodies 101," and "A Rationalist's Guide to Training." 20:23 <RefereeMankey>: That was just *one* row. Another displayed: "Raising Large Pokemon Teams," "Tree-Growing for Beginners: Grow in 48 Hours," "Soot Cleaning with Jowy Toole," and "Unova's Pinwheel Clearing." For 200 pages, these books cost well-over 1000 Poke each, sometimes more. 20:25 <Suchanut02>: "Good-grief, those are way to expensive" Devin thinks as he looks at the first one that caught his eye, the "On Comas" book 20:27 <RefereeMankey>: "On Comas." This report was co-signed by several scientists, among those Dr. Fennel herself. The cover of this 300+ page monstrosity featured a Hypno and a caption: "Uncovering the Mysteries of Pokemon-created comas." Interestingly enough, a Hypno's footprint graced the title page. 20:29 <RefereeMankey>: Whether or not Devin could identify the shape, the thin text clearly identified the species responsible for the print. 20:32 <Suchanut02>: "That would be helpful... But that's way too much for me to afford." Devin thinks as he quickly scans the pages for anything called the Dark Coma. 20:35 <RefereeMankey>: He could've just as easily checked out the table of contents or index; alas, he chose to flip through the pages. But yes, the phrase "dark coma" did appear - once. It was mentioned alongside an incomprehensible scientific name. This particular "coma" was listed as a defect caused by permanent /psychic/ disorientation of the brain. The book was published 20:39 <RefereeMankey>: before Devin's parents received this brand of illness, but that's not to say similar symptoms to other comas weren't present. Briefly mentioned were potential causes, of which most were...Psychic or Ghost-type. It only detailed Spiritomb, a "well-known creator of chaos," as a leading cause of these comas. 20:40 <RefereeMankey>: "So much for "Dark,"" Asagi said. The next pages compared the number of cases of Dark Comas versus other types - these were among the least for several /hundreds/ of years. 20:42 <Suchanut02>: "Good-Grief, I thought it just popped up recently!" Devin says, starting to doubt Beato even more than before. 20:46 <RefereeMankey>: Asagi lurched near Devin, left arm (of course) away from any human. She took one look at the statistics provided, and the cases of Dark Coma for some of those years? "Really, it did. Look," she said, pointing to 3 years before publishing date, "past here, there were just /twelve/ cases. I'd say it's pretty recent." 20:49 <Suchanut02>: "Right..." Devin says "But why did this start popping up? Has this Ichiro really been this busy?" 20:52 <RefereeMankey>: "...hmmm...." Asagi decided against answering. The book vaguely mentioned, "an increase in captured psychic-, dark-, and ghost-types capable of creating Dark Coma," and that's that. Zorua wasn't ever listed here. Eighty pages later, Devin found a bizarre coma Zorua could start, but one that required "significant connections to the Dark Elements." 20:52 <RefereeMankey>: (I could write the whole book, but no one would want to read all that ) 20:55 <Suchanut02>: "Dark Elements?" Devin asks out loud as he read it. 21:02 <RefereeMankey>: "Dark-types, I think," Asagi clarified. Remembering this was, in fact, a Pokemart, she then asked: "Are you ready to purchase, Devin?" Surely, there's more to look at in this Pokemart than books and balls. 21:02 <RefereeMankey>: But that could be all. 21:04 <Suchanut02>: "I might pick up a potion or two depending on the price." Devin says while putting the book back, and then heading to the Potion aisle. 21:07 <RefereeMankey>: Potions ahoy! Beyond the cheap Potions that healed 5HP as Devin liked (for 45 Poke!), regular potions (90/10HP), super Potions (180/20HP), Hyper Potions (270/30HP), and even (behind plastic casing) Max Potions (500 each!) existed. 21:08 <RefereeMankey>: Oran Berries were also sold in bulk (10/1200 Poke), and status-healing items as well. 21:09 <Suchanut02>: "Those are a bit pricey..." Devin thinks as he looks over his options. 21:15 <Suchanut02>: Devin eventually picks up 2 lite-potions for purchase, and heads over to the counter. 21:15 <RefereeMankey>: (calculating total: ...490 Poke.) 21:16 <Suchanut02>: (You sure? I did the math myself and I have 180 poke left) 21:17 <RefereeMankey>: Once Devin found himself at the front of a line (only a youngster's bickering was of note), one light-skinned man handled Devin's purchase. "Going thrifty?" he asked. "That's 489," he confirmed. 21:19 <Suchanut02>: "I don't think that adds up right." Devin thinks as he asks the man if he could borrow a piece of scrap paper and a pen. 21:24 <RefereeMankey>: "It's one off," he confirmed. Instead of scrap and pen, the man offered Devin a very large calculator. "This'll get the job done faster." 21:25 <RefereeMankey>: "But..." not to intrude on the Pokemart's customer policy, he provided Devin a piece of scrap and paper. "...can't say it's bad to work on your math." 21:25 <RefereeMankey>: Asagi giggled. He looked at the woman once, and...waited for Devin to finish. 21:27 <Suchanut02>: "Thanks" Devin says as he adds the prices up. "It should cost 440 poke." Devin says after a quick calculation. 21:29 <RefereeMankey>: (45+45+100+50+200=440. Yep) 21:30 <RefereeMankey>: "Ah, that's it," he said. "Thought this was a Moonball. That's 440 Poke." "Caught red-handed," Asagi whispered to Devin. 21:31 <Suchanut02>: Devin hands the cashier the exact change and says "Thank you for your service." while putting away his new items. 21:35 <Suchanut02>: "Are we ready to go?" Devin asks Asagi. 21:37 <RefereeMankey>: "No problem; take care," he said. His expression was neutral. Asagi's, on the other hand, carried adventure in her cheeks. "Let's!" 21:37 <RefereeMankey>: (Exit the Pokemart?) (yes) 21:42 <RefereeMankey>: Devin came out of the Pokemart with a partner and some balls. The obvious choice involved taking Route 3 to Nacrene City, as Asagi mentioned. However, the city had events and buildings a-plenty, not the least of which included Striaton's gym. Devin hadn't set foot in the training room yet. Alas, there was much to, and much that could be, done. 21:44 <Suchanut02>: "Well, since you know the way. You first." Devin says politely. 21:48 <RefereeMankey>: Asagi rose her eyebrows. "I'm leading? If you insist," she said. "After all..." she dug through her pocket, revealing to Devin a very special article. This was a card rectangular, shiny, light green, and /bold/. "Quitting Pokemon this early was one of the /dumbest/ things I've ever done." 21:49 <RefereeMankey>: Asagi then decided that was an awkward transition, and not before long, stored the ID in her pocket. 21:49 <RefereeMankey>: (btw: I'm just going to assume Devin has a Trainer ID by default, since...ID.) 21:50 <Suchanut02>: (yeah He would be in trouble if he didn't) 21:50 <Suchanut02>: (He does have an I.D.) 21:52 <Suchanut02>: (should I add his I.D. to his sheet?) 21:52 <RefereeMankey>: (You can, but since /every/ Trainer has one, it's not exactly necessary.) 21:53 <Suchanut02>: (ok, just for posteriors sake, I'll add it to the sheet) 21:53 <RefereeMankey>: ( kk ) 21:54 <Suchanut02>: (There, done) 21:57 <Suchanut02>: "I can understand why you quit though, it's not every trainer that has there Pokemon turn on them, and even permanently harm the trainer... No offense" Devin says. 22:01 <RefereeMankey>: "Absolutely none taken," she replied, smiling again at Devin's comment. "That's just life happening!" Route 3 was a good walk away, and for a solid thirty minutes, the two just...walked. Asagi even ran into some Team Neo-Plasma thugs, but before either party could pull out a Poke Ball, they vanished. 22:04 <Suchanut02>: "That's not a good sign..." Devin says, right after the thugs vanished.

Cutting Edge Turkmenistan 17:27 <RefMankey>: Last time... 17:27 <RefMankey>: "I can understand why you quit though, it's not every trainer that has there Pokemon turn on them, and even permanently harm the trainer... No offense" Devin says. 17:27 <RefMankey>: "Absolutely none taken," she replied, smiling again at Devin's comment. "That's just life happening!" Route 3 was a good walk away, and for a solid thirty minutes, the two just...walked. Asagi even ran into some Team Neo-Plasma thugs, but before either party could pull out a Poke Ball, they vanished. 17:27 <RefMankey>: "That's not a good sign..." Devin says, right after the thugs vanished. 17:27 <RefMankey>: -cue- 17:30 <RefMankey>: "..." Grimly, Asagi stared into the distance at where the blackened duo stood. (Why so quick?) A claw dug into a pocket, searching for a sphere. "I think they went through Route 3," she mentioned, "but should we give chase?" 17:32 <Suchanut02>: "It wouldn't hurt seeing what their up to." Devin says "If it's something that's over our heads, we could always get out of there." 17:36 <RefMankey>: "Right," she said. She walked slowly across a sparsely-occupied street, encountering not a single passenger. One child waved at the woman, calling out "Blackhair." The realization wasn't slow to set in; she briefly giggled at the moniker. 17:38 <RefMankey>: ( #UnovaRoute3 ) 17:40 <RefMankey>: Past pavement and beautiful lakes came the entirety of Route 3. Asagi Mayamoto waved her hand back and forth; the temperature was noticeably hotter, and the grass longer. 17:43 <RefMankey>: A battle among two Trainers occurred here. One boy, wearing a straw-hat, a rough white shirt, and a pair of jean-shorts, commanded his Sewaddle. He fought against another boy, who wore a red shirt and jeans, and used a Lillipup. The barking was not to be trifled with. Supervising the fight was James Nurse, a medic on the station. 17:45 <RefMankey>: On the more risque end..."I can't see any footprints," she said. The air smelled very funny around one batch of trees, though only among the strongest noses. 17:46 <Suchanut02>: "That's odd" Devin replies "They would have been coming right through here." 17:48 <RefMankey>: (...huh? What do you mean?) 17:49 <RefMankey>: (mean by "right through here?" I mean. I can't tell what Devin's trying to say) 17:50 <Suchanut02>: (on the path) 17:51 <Suchanut02>: (The kid's would have been interrupted, and there would be signs of them going down the path.) 17:56 <RefMankey>: (Ah. Could you re-write Devin's response to reflect his evidence? Maybe they'd ask those Trainers a question. *shrugs*) 17:56 <Suchanut02>: (Right, sorry) 17:57 <Suchanut02>: "Excuse me, have you seen a group of people with matching clothes go by?" Devin asks the kids politely. 19:22 <RefMankey>: A familiar voice prompted James's response: "Time, time!" Neither party was actually ready to attack, and even then the two stopped almost instantly. "Asagi, Devin? What's going o- " Devin gave him a clue quickly. "Same suit? A bunch of people come and go - I haven't seen anyone particularly suspicious." 19:24 <RefMankey>: Asagi decided to tell the man straight: "We saw two Neo-Plasma grunts skirting around the Route 3 entrance." The bug catcher tried to clarify: "Neo-plasmids, right?" Asagi nodded. <RefMankey>: A familiar voice prompted James's response: "Time, time!" Neither party was actually ready to attack, and even then the two stopped almost instantly. "Asagi, Devin? What's going o- " Devin gave him a clue quickly. "Same suit? A bunch of people come and go - I haven't seen anyone particularly suspicious." 19:24 <RefMankey>: Asagi decided to tell the man straight: "We saw two Neo-Plasma grunts skirting around the Route 3 entrance." The bug catcher tried to clarify: "Neo-plasmids, right?" Asagi nodded. 20:28 <Suchanut02>: "I'm afraid that they might be up to something" Devin says while looking at the ground for fresh tracks 20:29 <RefMankey>: Devin Bark spent 20 minutes searching for odd tracks in the ground. There weren't too many stragglers on Route 3 today, so footprints in the ground'd be easy to find. Sure enough, there were several tracks to the ever-familiar Pekoyama Woods, the location of Devin's sword. But they ended right at the entrance. 20:30 <RefMankey>: *Devin and Asagi 20:32 <RefMankey>: Asagi gave her two cents: "This spot doesn't look too bad. Maybe they went here and through?" She gathered her hair around the hook and tied it - no reason to get it stuck in the grass.

how do I shot web 20:54 <Suchanut02>: "Maybe..." Devin says "That's where we were going to go anyhow too, right?
21:00 <RefMankey>: A tilt in Devin's direction assured what Asagi was thinking: /yes/. To those woods she went, and assuredly so would Devin. 21:03 <RefMankey>: Oak trees. Rays of sunshine scattered over an area so /familiar/ to Devin, only now the chief Pokemon - Slaking and Ferrothorn - were not present. A group of tracks led the way through this small forest clearing, and along the way, Devin could hear: "....we got the nets ready."
21:04 <RefMankey>: Asagi, thinking she has the right net and wishing to set the tone, whispered to Devin: "Nets. Got to get around those. Think we should jump? Koffing?"
21:06 <Suchanut02>: "Let's slow down and see if we cant hear more about what's happening, or how many people are actually there." Devin whispers to Asagi as he crouches down.
21:09 <RefMankey>: Asagi could jump to see exactly what was going on, but as she saw Devin displaying caution, so did she. The two moved close enough to hear the louder parts of their conversation:
21:12 <RefMankey>: "We have three here for the-" Whatever Devin didn't catch Asagi did, and to this she whispers: "Three grunts. Think we can reason with them?"
21:13 <Suchanut02>: "Who knows?" He whispers back "I would try, but be prepared to fight."
21:15 <RefMankey>: "Who knows." Those words made too much sense to Asagi. The lottery became her gold standard. She waited. "They aren't saying anything."
21:21 <RefMankey>: It was true; no words came after that declaration. Perhaps they were whispering now? Asagi wondered: "Did they notice us?"
21:23 <Suchanut02>: Devin pulls out Smoke's Pokeball, ready to fight as he looks around
21:24 <RefMankey>: Devin looks behind him to see a familiar clearing. Ahead was a small opening a Ferrothorn once resided in; voices came from behind there, most likely.
21:26 <Suchanut02>: "Let's see if we cant get closer." Devin says as he heads, on his hands and knees, to behind a bush that's closer to the "action"
21:30 <RefMankey>: They moved to the closest location they could. Both parties could well crawl through the bushes, they being so small. A small hole in the bushes allowed an eye to peer through and view the goings-on. Asagi did not rush her way there.
21:31 <Suchanut02>: Devin peaks through the hole(of course)
21:39 <RefMankey>: A small hole revealed an even smaller plan. There were two dark-clothed associates, but neither of them bore their Plasma insigna or trademark caps. They let their blonde or blue hair flow frilly as they set up their nets. Small nets, about 5'-5', but with both attached to an Elekid in the middle. That Pokemon looked content sitting down.
21:39 <RefMankey>: Elekid M 20/20 HP
21:42 <Suchanut02>: (brb)
21:48 <Suchanut02>: "That's odd..."Devin thinks while whispering what he thought "What are they trying to catch with that trap?
21:49 <RefMankey>: The webs began to slowly unfold about the edges of the brush.
21:52 <Suchanut02>: "It might be us, who they are trying to catch by the looks of it!" Devin conveys to Asagi.
21:54 <Suchanut02>: "Shall we go in?"
21:57 <RefMankey>: "Let's not get caught," Asagi mentioned, "and attack the source of the problem." Surprisingly calm about this ever-growing net, Asagi decided to walk around Devin. Jumping up once revealed the Elekid, but no other Pokemon.
21:57 <RefMankey>: *error* Elekid 15/15 HP
21:57 <RefMankey>: *continues*
22:06 <RefMankey>: At this point, Asagi decided to shift her lone Pokemon after the Elekid. What with a raggedy, dark forme and a smile more golden than its morals, the mighty Scheherazade lurched above a tree. "On your orders, Devin," Asagi whispered.
22:06 <RefMankey>: A *CLAP* could be heard from afar, followed by a *whir* and a *click*.
22:07 <Suchanut02>: "Stay there... The trap sounds like it's been sprung!"
22:12 <RefMankey>: "Looks like we need to defeat the Elekid," she said. She could be wrong, so she inched back and let the trap do its thing, making the exact same noise. Eventually, this ever-grande net appeared on top of the brush. Asagi couldn't hold her mouth! "Scheherazade, Shadow Ball, now!"
22:15 <RefMankey>: The Elekid looked up! The Elekid reflected with *Thundershock!*
22:15 <RefMankey>: *SLAM* Collision!
22:20 <RefMankey>: *SLAM*! The Shadow Ball grew in power as the Banette threw it, eventually to the point where it engulfed the Elekid whole! On one hand, that sent the Electric-type flying into the net!
22:20 <RefMankey>: On the other, the net...seemed to stop growing?
22:21 <RefMankey>: Regardless...*KO*. Scheherazade gets +1 EXP!
22:21 <Suchanut02>: (A Galvatula or a Joltick!)
22:21 <RefMankey>: Elekid M 0/15HP
22:24 <RefMankey>: With the net's influence held, both Asagi and Devin could view the exact effects of this net. It seemed that the net crawled around the Pokemon, shoots a /laser/, and the Pokemon vanishes. "...what." Asagi tried to explain the situation, but had no words. "The future of Pokemon-catching, huh...?"
22:25 <Suchanut02>: "That's an unusual way to catch a Pokemon."
22:26 <Suchanut02>: Devin says, as he looks at the device
22:30 <RefMankey>: The device was all around that field. Asagi met hook and hand to stretch. "It worked, sadly." The ghost Pokemon levered down from the tree to view this device. Silent as ever, it took one good look at this net. Asagi reached out her hand, hoping her Pokemon wasn't actually going to touch it...but it didn't.
22:31 <Suchanut02>: Devin picks up the device to look at it more closely, as he makes sure no one else heard that.
22:40 <RefMankey>: Asagi failed to pay attention to Devin, so when he did decide to touch the net...
22:40 <RefMankey>: ( going to stop here )
22:40 <Suchanut02>: (Ok.)
Hail the Webbers 20:29 <RefMankey>: A time ago, Devin touched Neo Team-Plasma's device. A fade to black. 20:30 <Suchanut02>: (Great... I have a bad feeling about this.)] 20:33 <RefMankey>: "...what? I didn't think kids played here." Devin, a bit confused from touching the net, awoke near a gigantic black pipe. The male and female from earlier stood by the machine. A Sewaddle and Kakuna lied in cages; the Elekid nowhere to be found. 20:35 <RefMankey>: Devin...looked to be the next one up. A "whatever," came from the male, he whose hair swiveled near his ears. The female, shorter than even Devin, crouched by the recently-"captured" Trainer. "Confiscate his bags." 20:35 <RefMankey>: But Devin had time to react. Plenty of it. 20:37 <Suchanut02>: "!"Devin roles to the side, and tries to stand up in two quick movements! 20:38 <RefMankey>: One Plasma Grunt tries to *low sweep* from under Devin! 20:38 <Suchanut02>: Devin tries to dodge! 20:38 <RefMankey>: ...she missed! Badly! 20:39 <RefMankey>: Devin, standing up, has his bag in hand! 20:42 <RefMankey>: "OK, we're taking him on," the female said. Both grunts dressed casually - the male in blue, and the female in blue pants, black jacket. 20:43 <RefMankey>: Devin M 14/14* HP (go make that correction - that's my dumb fault) V Grunt M 12/12 HP, Grunt F 13/13 HP 20:50 <Suchanut02>: Devin pulls out a pokeball, (too suddenly to realise which on he chose) and says "Your the ones that started this!" as he sends out the pokemon 20:54 <Suchanut02>: (You get to choose the Pokemon that Devin starts this battle with) 20:58 <RefMankey>: A field, once empty, clamored to make an eerie, ebbing noise. "Eh?" Devin, now up, lazily tossed out two Pokeballs of his own. 20:58 <RefMankey>: *bofbof* 20:59 <Suchanut02>: (Two!?) 20:59 <RefMankey>: Lunar [Feebas M] 20/20 HP, Spike [Nidoran M] 20/20 HP 21:00 <RefMankey>: (There are two thugs on the field. I don't think Devin's silly enough to send just one) 21:00 <Suchanut02>: (Right xD) 21:00 <RefMankey>: "...just grab the stuff and go!" *BOF* *BOF* 21:01 <RefMankey>: The female trainer released two Pokemon as a facade! "C'mon! Sally, Saline, use Protect!" 21:03 <RefMankey>: Lunar [Feebas M] 20/20 HP, Spike [Nidoran M] 20/20 HP V Sally [F Frillish] 20/20 HP, Saline [f Shellder] 20/20 HP } Sewaddle ? 20/20 HP, Kakuna M 45/45 HP 21:03 <RefMankey>: The grunts prepared to flee! The Pokemon She listed use Protect! 21:05 <Suchanut02>: "Use Tackle and Peck on the cages!" Devin says as the grunts start running. 21:06 <Suchanut02>: (Hopefull to break the cages open.) 21:06 <RefMankey>: They ignore the Protectors and go for the cages! 21:06 <RefMankey>: ... 21:07 <RefMankey>: *CLANK* *CLATTER* *OW!* 21:09 <RefMankey>: By proxy, the Feebas managed to tackle the female grunt with a cage! Hitting her in the back, she arched forwards and lied down! "G-yah!" The second grunt watched as the Nidoran quickly jabbed at the cage, bending metal like wood and freeing the Sewaddle. Protect was hardly useful on the Pokemon cages, now de-electrified. 21:10 <RefMankey>: "C'mon!" The male picked up the Kakuna cage with little effort. 21:10 <RefMankey>: Lunar [Feebas M] 20/20 HP, Spike [Nidoran M] 20/20 HP V Sally [F Frillish] 20/20 HP, Saline [f Shellder] 20/20 HP } Sewaddle ? 20/20 HP, Kakuna M 45/45 HP | NP Grunt M 12/12 HP, NP Grunt F 9/14 HP 21:15 <Suchanut02>: "I'll let you go, and there are no laws against catching Pokemon..." Devin says, thinking "But you better not pull a stunt like that again on any other passerby." 21:17 <RefMankey>: "Here, take the stupid things! We got what we need," the man said, dropping the Kakuna cage and leaving all of the captured /loot/ with Devin. He could hear a *click* from the woman. "C'mon, I have the Pokemon! Let's go!" 21:19 <RefMankey>: The Sewaddle did thank the ever-annoyed Spike, but since it wasn't a brave little creature, he spindled away from the net. Whatever the thing was contracted, withered out, and died. "Should've got the net!" "Forget that, the chip's broken! IT's fine! Go!" 21:19 <RefMankey>: For less than ten seconds of battling, those two ran some strong mouths. 21:23 <Suchanut02>: "Well, I wasn't expecting that to happen." Devin says as he opens the cage where the Kakuna is, and then turns to the Sewaddle saying" Hello there, are you alright, or hurt?" 21:25 <RefMankey>: Devin tries to open the cage... 21:26 <RefMankey>: *SNAP*! That metal is terrible! Devin snapped the thing in twenty seconds! The Kakuna...well, acted as a Kakuna. Devin may not've known, but that variety's known for doing virtually nothing. 21:27 <RefMankey>: The Sewaddle, on the other hand, already span its merry way upwards. Spike, the Sewaddle's savior, poked at Devin's leg. With its front paws facing its Trainer, the Nidoran tilted its neck. 21:38 <Suchanut02>: "I wonder if you would want to come with me?" Devin asks as he watches the Sewaddle. 21:40 <Suchanut02>: Devin holds out his hand to the Sewaddle, in a gesture of good will. 21:42 <RefMankey>: There were two problems with this. The first was the Sewaddle's nonresponse. The second issue: Devin's clear ignorance of his own Pokemon. Spike hopped, claws landing on Devin's quickly tiring sneakers. 21:44 <Suchanut02>: "What is it Spike?" Devin asks his Pokemon, and looks down at him. 21:47 <Suchanut02>: (...) 21:48 <RefMankey>: Spike just wanted to remind Devin of the fact that the Sewaddle was gone with a shake of the head. 21:51 <Suchanut02>: "Great...." Devin says as he looks around the area, hoping to find the Sewaddle. 22:05 <RefMankey>: Well, at least the net shriveled. Lots of places to look. But even looking upwards revealed no Sewaddle. There was the Kakuna freed from its chasm, however. 22:13 <Suchanut02>: "I guess I can give you a ride out of here." Devin says to the Kakuna as he looks around for an exit. 22:15 <RefMankey>: (Much's I hate to stop here for today, I think I should stop here for some rest, man.)

Integration 22:08 <RefMankey>: Devin, built box by box, held the Kakuna with relative ease. He knew better not to touch its poison stinger - this was Trainer 101 - though he kept a loose grip over the creature. It graciously accepted the boy's help. 22:10 <RefMankey>: Only then the clearing ahead lied silent. A black stocking cap wavered several feet above Devin. 22:13 <Suchanut02>: Devin set's the Kakuna down for few minutes to rest and looks at the forest around him saying "It's too bad I didn't get a Sewaddle, or a fighting type, here. I would have liked to catch ether one of those." 22:15 <RefMankey>: The boy's complaint went mostly answered by nature. The stocking cap vanished once again, followed by a great shaking of the shrubbery. Devin lied under a slurry of leaves. However, this signaled a very quiet person to rip through a piece of shrubbery with a claw. 22:15 <RefMankey>: "Devin?" Her calls were mostly muffled until now. 22:19 <Suchanut02>: "Hello Asagi!" Devin says relieved "It's good to see you again." 22:21 <RefMankey>: Asagi steps back and smiles smiles. A gold star lied on the girl's shoulder, unveiling itself to become a Banette. Asagi asks, "Oh! You didn't hear me earlier?" 22:31 <Suchanut02>: "No, I didn't... I'm sorry" Devin says sheepishly "I've been busy with getting out of there." 22:34 <RefMankey>: Asagi lurched down to a clearly broken Devin, tilting her head. "Alright," she says. Hair wafted into Scheherazade; the Banette pushed it away. The woman admitted: "I didn't hear you either; in fact, Scheherazade found you." The Banette waved its arm. 22:35 <RefMankey>: "Guess you got a new friend?" Asagi asks, looking at the stolid Bug-type 22:40 <Suchanut02>: "It's more of, I offered to carry it out of the hideout of those Team Neo Plasma grunts." 21:55 <Suchanut02>: Devin says as he watches the shadows for movement, still on edge. 21:59 <RefMankey>: The Kakuna squeamed, trying to barrel out of Devin's hands. Asagi raised a brow, expression stiff. A cage lied open. Calmly as she could, Asagi said to Devin: "Back to the hideout? What for?" 23:09 <Suchanut02>: Devin turns back and heads towards the hideout wondering what it wanted. 23:11 <Suchanut02>: "I was taking it away from the cages, it was caught in there." 23:15 <RefMankey>: "Oh, my bad." Asagi giggled; she could only laugh that effort off. The Kakuna eventually didn't mind this new direction; despite its earlier rolling, Devin kept the Kakuna secure without too many issues. A tad curious about her companion, Asagi asked of the boy: "Do you have a plan from here?" 23:24 <Suchanut02>: "Not really." Devin says as he shifts the Kakuna's position in his arms" It all got thrown out of whack when I was captured." 23:27 <RefMankey>: "I'd imagine," Asagi said. She expected Devin to pop up with something regarding the net or an escape route, but no dice. "Scheherazade tested the net; it's safe to use now. We could ask a specialist about it in Nacrene" she said. "Only issue's picking it up." 23:28 <RefMankey>: Of course, moving a clearings'-worth of metal, even if rusted, was not going to be an easy task. -lost session, synopsis- Asagi remembered the web folded, and decided to fold that web into a brick. Devin asked which direction to go, and almost forgot Asagi was folding a gigantic web. The two, with assistance from the Banette, Scheherazade, cleared that monotonous task in under 30 minutes. Asagi, tired, leaves the forest with a brief "thank you." <Suchanut02>: "Alright, I'll keep a lookout." Devin says as he does what he was told. 23:59 <RefMankey>: The sky pinkened. Full trees, a dirt road, and no tracks. Cold water flooded a section of the road. Trash littered this part of the road, which the Banette oh-so playfully knocked around the Route. A Trainer taught his Sandile how to *scratch* at a scarecrow. A fisherman lights a lantern for the afternoon. 00:00 <RefMankey>: A shoe and a belt lied in the bushes. <RefMankey>: The sky pinkened. Full trees, a dirt road, and no tracks. Cold water flooded a section of the road. Trash littered this part of the road, which the Banette oh-so playfully knocked around the Route. A Trainer taught his Sandile how to *scratch* at a scarecrow. A fisherman lights a lantern for the afternoon. 22:59 <RefMankey>: A shoe and a belt lied in the bushes. 23:03 <RefMankey>: (endpost) 23:08 <Suchanut02>: "What are those doing in a bush?" Devin asks out loud as he looks at the clothes. 23:13 <RefMankey>: Asagi didn't notice the clothing even when Devin pointed it out. She walked over to the area. One leather belt, one red-quartered, white sneaker. "I wouldn't bother," she said. "People do stupid things with their belongings." 23:14 <Suchanut02>: "Okay then..." Devin says turning away. 23:20 <RefMankey>: With little use to examine the lost articles, Devin and Asagi (and their Pokemon) turned away from the scene. A pathway branched from the right of the road, whereas the lake featured a white wooden boat and a sturdy wooden dock. Lights flickered ahead; this was a campfire set by a group of Trainers. 23:21 <RefMankey>: With just three tents, this group held out a can: "Spare some change?" This can, hidden beneath a layer of polyester, was hardly visible. <RefMankey>: The night was an uneventful one. The two discussed the surrounding scenery and warded off a weakened monster. Nacrene City was the shining beacon of the area. 00:37 <RefMankey>: Asagi took careful steps on the cobblestone foundation; it was not an even surface. They would not go unmet. An officer, doing his job, approached Asagi. A flashlight beamed after the girl, and that's when Scheherazade *poofed*. Officer was less concerned about the ghost and more: "Hey. The hell's that thing in your hands?" 00:42 <Suchanut02>: "It's a laser net we found in the woods after we chased a duo of Team Neo Plasma grunts." Devin says truthfully. 00:45 <RefMankey>: "..." The officer, eyes opened, hung his jaw low. Asagi made a last-ditch effort to translate Devin's statement: "We saw Team Plasma deploy this tool, and need to find a place to store it." Officer shook his head and got himself together. A few words on the radio later, he made a request: "Follow me. Head of Technology wants to see you." The Officer walked 00:45 <RefMankey>: behind the two, to which Asagi asked: "Are we under arrest?" 00:47 <RefMankey>: He replied: "No, but brought in for questioning. Won't go on your records or anything." 00:49 <Suchanut02>: "Whew!" Devin thinks as he follows the officer 00:54 <RefMankey>: Asagi kept questioning the officer. "Will there be counsel? Payment?" All he had to say was, "We'll see." They eventually reached the hunk of a technology building in the middle of Overhang Square. Terrain raised far higher than the rest of the city, with a jagged-looking foundain and buildings that look something out of an abstract painting. The Technology 00:56 <RefMankey>: building tried to be a lone voice of reason in the madness, the straight, concrete tower in the midst of postmodernism, but it only stuck out like a sore thumb. Two guards held the building down and let the three in. 00:56 <Suchanut02>: (Sounds like the building was trying to fly away with that wording, ) 00:57 <RefMankey>: One of the guards even noted: "Should go to The Apprentice's; their belts are fantastic."

Exportation 23:51 <RefMankey>: From the last time... 23:51 *** cynda1 joined #UnovaNacreneCityHeadTechBuildin 23:53 <RefMankey>: Devin released a lone breath once he heard this questioning won't mark he or his partner's, Asagi's, permanent records. The latter, standing tall as ever and watching her hook, asked the officer several questions, eventually leading into the complex and a reference to a belt-store. 23:53 <RefMankey>: Regardless...there are things to be done. -CUE SESSION- 23:54 <Suchanut02>: (belt store?) 23:54 <RefMankey>: (context: "The Apprentice's" is a famous clothing store in Nacrene) 23:55 <Suchanut02>: (oh) 23:58 <RefMankey>: Asagi shut her eyes at first. The complex's first room bombarded the eyes with violet panels. Among decorations and plants were two counters, each hosting a security check; metal detector, CAT-scanner and all. A belt led objects through another scanner, and plenty of individuals stood their guard. 00:00 <Suchanut02>: "Somebody likes violet..." Devin thinks as he follows the officer. "I'm guessing that we will need to put our stuff in those bins, huh?" 00:02 <RefMankey>: The officer held his hand in the air. Now with adequate lighting, one could see the youth in this individual: clean-shaven, clear-faced, and thick-haired. This officer turned to Devin and replied: "Way ahead of me." A smirk. Asagi took a deep breath and carefully dislatched her hook, placing it (along with her other metal possessions) in a bin. 00:04 <Suchanut02>: Devin follows Asagi's cue and put's his metal items in the bins, with Ruto popping out of her Pokeball to see what was going on. 00:05 <RefMankey>: And with a *pow*, Devin's new backpack became the center of attention 00:05 <RefMankey>: *bof* 00:06 <RefMankey>: Zorua [Ruto] F 20/20HP {ILLUSION: Lillipup} 00:06 <Suchanut02>: "Great..." 00:10 <Suchanut02>: Ruto jumps behind Devin, startled by all the people and the violet wallpaper. 00:13 <RefMankey>: Ruto, what with her suddenly timid attitude, brought all kinds of responses. Of the silent's responses: head-scratching, head-shaking, and head-palm contact. A more vocal, elderly officer jolted: "Kid, put your Pokemon away right no-" "He's a young trainer; just let him return it to the ball." The man, face twisted in discontent, turned away from the 00:15 <Suchanut02>: "Right..." Devin says while scared they would hurt her, and then he makes her *Return* telling her "It's not safe to come out now." 00:16 <RefMankey>: disgraced Devin. Asagi had other comments after returning a /shadow/ to her Pokeball: "A slip?" A giggle; per usual, she played off the massive faux pas with laughter. 00:16 <RefMankey>: *whoosh* 00:17 <Suchanut02>: "Yeah, you could say that." Devin reply's. 00:20 <RefMankey>: "Ah, butterfingers." What with her handless limb open to the public, she silently wished for slippery hands - they were better than none at all. 00:20 *** mib_ztm31v quit (Quit: www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) 00:25 <RefMankey>: The younger officer smiled. "Alright - you two know the drill." Asagi, made double-sure to check each and every last one of her pockets - vest, pants, and undershirt - before passing through that detector. A green light and /silence/. Immediately, Asagi moved to her greyish tub. One of the guards guessed: "Guess you got over Chargestone, eh?" 00:30 <RefMankey>: A dry response, "cost an arm and a leg, but /sure/" came with a smile. She was only a quarter right. The officer then requested the two wait near two great, steel doors; two buttons faced upwards and downwards. Asagi folded her arms and waited for the officer's further instruction. 00:36 <Suchanut02>: "What is Chargestone?" Devin asks Asagi as he's waits at the door. 00:39 <RefMankey>: "Cave west of here." Recalling a mission provided to Devin by Professor Juniper, she added another statement: "Lots of Electric-types for your Pokedex." 00:39 <RefMankey>: *DING* 00:40 *** cynda1 quit (Quit: www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) 00:44 <RefMankey>: Here came an elevator. This time only the floor emanated that bright, violet hue the security room filled itself with. Asagi began to ask why the room was-only to cut herself off before she potentially put the whole building at risk. When the officer turned, she *clicked* her teeth and shook her head. He pushed the down button. 00:46 <Suchanut02>: "This sure is a long way down..." Devin thinks to himself. 00:48 <RefMankey>: "Here goes," he said. Suddenly, he propped his finger up before pulling out two slips of white paper. "Liabilities," he said, "in case someone steals your Pokemon. We're holding them for security purposes," he said. Asagi quietly jested: "Go, Wailord." She successfully drew a face both horrified and amused, with wide eyes staring into her for a solid 00:48 <RefMankey>: ten seconds. "...thank Arceus for the security," he said to himself. 00:49 <Suchanut02>: "Great." Devin mutters as he takes one of the pieces of paper. 00:53 <RefMankey>: "Wha-cha," the officer then interjected, handing Devin a pen. Asagi jokingly commented: "You sure are up today, sir!" He tilted his head and nodded. "This'll take a moment. Might as well make the trip interesting." Asagi smiled, which he did not do. Cursing the Head's love of the underground under his breath, the officer keeps watch of the captured two. 00:57 <Suchanut02>: Devin signs the piece of paper and then asks Asagi "Aren't you going to sign the paper? It wouldn't hurt." 01:03 <Suchanut02>: Devin hands the pen to Asagi, realizing that she couldn't sign without it. 01:16 <RefMankey>: Asagi, tilting at Devin's short-sightedness, took the pen with some gratitude: "thank you, Devin." She handed back her writing, though it made the officer squint. "Sorry - I'm still getting used to the arm." He waved his hand and smiled. "No big deal. Just needs to be recognizable." 01:18 <Suchanut02>: Devin asks "Is it alright if I fill out my Pokedex descriptions?" 01:21 <RefMankey>: "Go nuts," the officer said. Asagi chimed in: "This kid's worked his butt off for Professor Juniper these past couple days." "His work's busting from the seams?" Laughter from Asagi. "Sure." 01:24 <Suchanut02>: "Alright then." Devin says as he pulls out his Pokedex and starts imputing a description for the Zorua. 01:28 <RefMankey>: *BEEP* 01:28 <RefMankey>: *Pokedex accessed.* 01:31 <Suchanut02>: "Zorua battle with guile that dosent fit their adorable form, often using Illusion to taunt and trick their foes." Devin read's the description out-loud and asks himself "What else should be on there?" 01:37 <RefMankey>: "Zorua." The officer tried to make sense of that Pokemon's name whereas Asagi nodded once. "Aren't those Pokemon highly-valued?" 01:41 <Suchanut02>: "Yeah, it's because of how hard it is to find them in the wild, since they can disguise themselves as, well, anything." 01:50 <RefMankey>: "Everyone wants one, too," Asagi noted. The officer only shook his head

SHIIIIN 21:24 <Mankey>: Devin and company, with a long chat on the elevator to keep interested, heard the final *DING*. With a heavy atmosphere and a temperature at least eight degrees hotter (Asagi removed her vest!) they were escorted to a room full of solid chrome.
21:27 <Mankey>: Decorations here were either avant-garde or low quality; odernism was difficult to determine. A large clock ticked in the back room, black hands ever-consistent. A man in a white suit, brushing an enormous afro, twisted in his seat. A plaque: "Jim H. Sander, Nacrene Head of Technology."
21:28 <Mankey>: And the man cut right to the chase. "Devin? Asagi? I got your documents from the floors above. I heard there was something you wanted to show me?" He twiddled his fingers on his pallid table for a response.
21:33 <Suchanut02>: "Uhhh, Right!" Devin says, taken aback by the, well, man with the huge afro that was siting in-front of him "I think it might be that," He motions towards the net(some assembly required) "It's a laser net that I inadvertently got, uhhh.... tangled in."
21:44 <Mankey>: The man paused and watched as Devin pulled out the odd net. Jim, putting on a pair of welder's gloves and safety goggles, got to inspecting the net at once. He had a brief speech at hand, to which Asagi plain listened to: "These poachers aren't playing these days. This device has the signature Pokeball technology, is difficult to access, and even comes built
21:45 <Mankey>: in with a bomb." But the man smiled, taking a container from behind him. This man, judging only by his jumpsuit, really liked the colors yellow and chromium grey. As he tried placing the device in this basket, he smiled and mentioned: "It's also going to become really, really /illegal/. You don't see stuff like this everyday."
21:46 <Mankey>: But Devin said something of note that Jim just had to ask: "Tangled in. Where'd you find it?"
21:48 <Suchanut02>: "In the woods of Rout 3." Devin says, trying to remember the name "The people that were using it were members of Neo Team Plasma."
21:52 <Mankey>: "Route 3's forests? Perfect." These were amazing tools for catching hordes upon hordes of Pokemon; just slap one on the trees and watch them go. Alas it was not meant to be for Neo Team Plasma and their cronies. "Well, it looks like they're fresh out of luck. We'll develop something freaky to stop these freaks of nature and one tool will be down." Jim smiled
21:54 <Mankey>: once again, but Asagi wanted to know something else. "I also heard we'd be paid for bringing this to you?" "I heard about your forth-righteousness, Asagi, and here it shines." The woman tilting her head and producing a fake giggle, Jim continued: "It's a public contribution..."
21:55 <Mankey>: "...but...I can make an offer. Five-thousand for the each of you." Asagi, wide-eyed, turned to Devin. To her, this was not enough, but she had no way of voicing it to Devin.
21:58 <Suchanut02>: "That's... a good amount of money... But Asagi would like more than that." Devin thinks quietly, then he asks "Can Asagi get most of it? I don't need that much money." He was clearly lying, yet h was being kind to his friend "I'll only take 1,000."
22:02 <Mankey>: Asagi would cop out of any large deals here as she turned to her traveling partner, and (tilting her head) made a statement: "I think this amount is suitable." The explanation Devin provided made Jim, even through thick safety goggles, open his eyes wide. "I'll send you the amount planned, then. You guys can work it out between yourselves."
22:03 <Mankey>: With a chuckle, Jim tried to get any last questions out of the two: "Now then: is that all?"
22:13 <Suchanut02>: "Actually, I have a two questions for you." Devin says as he looks through his bag "Do you know of a Ichiro Tatsumi?"
22:17 <Mankey>: Asagi blanked out; Devin was onto something. "...the author? Holy shit, man, I didn't think anyone else read his books!" With a hearty chuckle, knowing PR wouldn't fire him if they tried, Jim returned the favor: "Man made piano so easy! He marked the chords and everything!"
22:29 <Suchanut02>: "Really?" Devin thinks out loud, then he says "If you know where he lives, I'd be grateful. I have unfinished... lessons with him, he ran out on my first piano lesson and it seams to have forgotten about the amount of money my parents payed in advance."
22:30 <Suchanut02>: (Asagi can easily tell that Devin is lying, right?)
22:33 <Mankey>: "..." Jim and Asagi were blankfaced, the latter horrified by Devin's extremely personal question. But Jim put his feet on the table, hands behind his back, and replied: "Man, he's super busy! That sucks, but you'd be much better off with a phone boo-"
22:35 <Mankey>: Asagi, with her regular hand, took out a very well-written letter. With a slam, Jim initially joked: "I didn't sign up for this CIU stuff." Take the letter he did, and with a tilt of the head read its every content.
22:38 <Mankey>: "...I don't think he wrote this?" Jim Sanders summoned a copy of "Graceful Chords and Masterful Strokes," autographed by the man himself, and compared the two.
22:39 <Suchanut02>: "Then who would it be?" Devin asks himself as Jim compares writing.
22:40 <Mankey>: "...I don't know about you, but these two are both written in print, but the letter's wonkier. Hate to blow your case in the water like that." An enormous Tatsumi fan just demolished the boy's argument, the Head of Technology made a reccomendation: "Should probably just find a forensic investigator, man. They're not cheap, but with 5,000 extra coins I'm sure
22:41 <Mankey>: your mysteries'll be solved soon." He chuckled, handing back the letter.
22:45 <Suchanut02>: "Great... Oh, I'm sorry for lying to you right there, I just got nervous and didn't think about what I said." Devin says, pondering on his actions "And if you are willing, can you tell me abut the CaptureWhiz?"
22:45 <Suchanut02>: He pulls out the item he describes and shows it to him.
23:00 <Mankey>: "Okay. Just getting the thoughts out of your head. Not a bad thing," the Head admits before Devin had one other thing to ask. When he drew out his CaptureWhiz, the Head laughed at the unofficial ball. "You couldn't even - ahaha - make rice cakes with these! Just stick with the originals!" Sliding the ball back, Jim gave a final smile to the two. "Guess that's
23:00 <Mankey>: all, huh?"
23:03 <Suchanut02>: "Unless Asagi has an questions, I believe were done." Devin says, feeling satisfied that he only spent a little amount on the CaptureWhiz, and now he knows not to buy another one... though he still has the one he bought.
23:03 <Suchanut02>: "Thank you for your help." He adds.
23:05 <Mankey>: Asagi nodded. "Thank you for having us!" she said, keeping Jim's spirits up. "You people...Devin at least, you're an enigma! Keep thinking, man!" With a comment that flew way over Devin's head - Asagi sure missed it - the two set out to leave. Asagi hardly looked in Devin's general direction for that period.
23:07 <Suchanut02>: "May we head back up?" Devin asks the officer that was standing there, listening to the conversation.
23:08 <Mankey>: The officer nodded once, he and Asagi sharing short-eyed glances, and headed back to the surface.

After the Fact 21:42 <RefMankey>: Asagi nodded. "Thank you for having us!" she said, keeping Jim's spirits up. "You people...Devin at least, you're an enigma! Keep thinking, man!" With a comment that flew way over Devin's head - Asagi sure missed it - the two set out to leave. Asagi hardly looked in Devin's general direction for that period. 21:42 <RefMankey>: "May we head back up?" Devin asks the officer that was standing there, listening to the conversation. The officer nodded once, he and Asagi sharing short-eyed glances, and headed back to the surface. 21:42 <RefMankey>: -cue- 21:43 <RefMankey>: Nighttime. A silent elevator. Items were handed back to their owners with hefty coin. 21:45 <RefMankey>: Re-united with their Pokemon and eggs, the cash-endowed Trainers step foot back in one of Nacrene's ever-abstract city centres. The moonlight shimmered over a square fountain that, being beveled upwards, shouldn't have even existed. Save a few artists, recording dreams on everything from canvas to film, the square was open to Devin and Asagi. 21:46 <RefMankey>: The latter's head twitched once. "Devin," the hook-handed woman said. "What was that?" 21:53 <suchanut02>: "What was what?" Devin asks as he keeps himself from tripping on a can "Are you talking about the, uhh... Questions I had for him?" 21:56 <RefMankey>: Asagi finished his thought. She stuck her leg out and booted the can; it clashed against the ground with a noisy *clanking*. "Sorry," she muttered beneath her breath for all those souls that lived in this district. 21:58 <RefMankey>: "No, not questions," she clarified. Asagi, straight-faced, prodded Devin with words: "The money. Did you feel I was an incompetent negotiator?" A sudden sternness rose from her breath. 22:07 <suchanut02>: "No, I don't think that you were the fault. I feel like I was at least partially to blame for it, with me bombarding him with questions and blurting out what was on my mind." Devin says seriously, as he turned to her, and yet his voice was still filled with the typical smiling feeling that he gave off most of the time. 22:12 <RefMankey>: Asagi stopped and put a finger to her chin. She looked to the left, tongue almost spilling out; the woman looked incredibly awkward. "Devin, I don't care about who's to blame. I just want to understand your logic." Asagi put her hands to her sides and caught wind of a bench. She shook her head once she realized it was a metal bench. 22:21 <suchanut02>: "I guess I figured that if he was the head of technology here, he might know the Ichiro Tatsumi. And I was right.... though the problem is, he doesn't sound like the kind of person that would attack my family..." Devin says, pondering his predicament, as he looks around the area. 22:25 <RefMankey>: Asagi tilted her head once more. /That wasn't what I meant?/ "Again, and I'm sorry if I didn't make this clear before, but I referred to the table deals. You made a smart choice pressing Jim about Tatsumi, what with your new information." 22:25 <RefMankey>: She smiled. "It was about the money. You said something about me wanting more. Why?" 22:28 <suchanut02>: "Oh... well I figured that you would like more, since you carried more of the device than I did." Devin says while trying to convey his reasoning" I was trying to be nice... I didn't mean to make it sound like you were greedy, at least I hope I didn't." 22:31 <RefMankey>: "Oh?" That was all...? Asagi rose her brow. "...alright. Devin, no big deal. Just next time, unless they ask beforehand, don't negotiate for other people. No one wins there." Asagi swirled around in her head, and while physically still her mind stormed for an example. 22:39 <suchanut02>: "Alright, I understand..." Devin says, still embarrassed about the "haggling" he did. "So, where would we find a Private Investigator? Devin asks Asagi, hopefully to changing the subject"I know I would need more money, but it's nice to know when I do have enough." 22:43 <RefMankey>: Asagi spoke: "Oh, ummm...hm. I'd guess a police station? Could check the phone books?" Beneath dark skies, she wondered if lying under the sk was a wise or profitable move. Neigh. "It's getting dark," she said. "Are you going out to Pinwheel to train, or...?" 23:10 <suchanut02>: "I was planning on heading somewhere to eat, or getting the ingredients to make something before heading to Pinwheel Forest... Thankfully I know how to set up a decent camp." Devin says, mulling Asagi's question over. "What do you think we should do?" 23:12 <RefMankey>: "Excellent! Getting supplies, I suppose?" Asagi smiled. She provided little more than the gig about supplies, in part because Devin had very few, and with his newfound money he could go out and nab some. "Scheherazade and I will rest for the night. I will leave that decision to you." Asagi began to walk away. 23:26 <suchanut02>: "Alright then, I'll meet you at the entrance to Pinwheel Forest tomorrow." Devin says as Asagi walks away from him. Then he turns towards the streets ahead and searches for a restaurant first, hopefully he'll have enough money to buy supplies afterwards.
And then whoops then <RefMankey>: It seemed Asagi acknowledged his plan - 13:00, she clarified. With a short goodbye, the boy set himself on a restocking mission. Strange men and women hovered about at the time, but aside from the police, very few appeared in a uniform. This made venturing to the shop quick and easy. 23:00 <RefMankey>: Someone said from a distance: "Hey, hey. Welcome!" A shorter woman occupied the stand today, and while Nacrene's shelves were /loaded/ few customers ventured here at night. Just one of them, suit jarringly green, looked painfully familiar. With at least five potions and a bag of healing items, the man Devin knew as "Sanchez" skittered to the next aisle. 23:03 <Suchanut02>: "I should probably leave him to his shopping." Devin thinks as he heads to the packaged meals, "If I can use one of those tonight, I can have supplies for tomorrow... plus I need to get Poke-food for the outings too." 23:22 <RefMankey>: Packaged meals: the bread and butter of the Pokemon universe. Devin hadn't eaten in some time, but the food on display varied greatly: everything from the bargain-brand Pokefood (100) and canned rations (20) to some amazing travel offerings (60-500) with more than just meat and a special Pokefood for rare Pokemon (500). 23:26 <Suchanut02>: "Well... Let's see what they have to say." Devin says as he prepares to show each of his Pokemon the choices, and get their opinion. Ruto is the first one he *sends* out. 23:27 <RefMankey>: *bof* (Ruto F [Jasper] 20/20 HP) 23:28 <RefMankey>: The Zorua leaps at one of the packaged sets, meant specifically for "intelligent omnivores." Devin best be wary of how free his signature Pokemon is in the Mart. 23:32 <Suchanut02>: "Uhhh... You don't need to jump that high, you can just point at it with your paw." Devin says as he looks at the package "And that goes for all of you too." He says to his other Pokemon that were in their Pokeballs. 23:35 <Suchanut02>: "Now how much is this?" Devin thinks as he glances at the price tag. 23:40 <RefMankey>: Some of his Pokemon felt patronized by the random gesture. At a glance, the price tag appeared to be for three-hundred Poke, and purported a, "strong morale boost correlated with increased attack and accuracy." It had at least five uses. 23:53 <Suchanut02>: "Hmmm..." Devin thinks as he thinks about his predicament "I think I'll carry it until the checkout." Devin also picks up one of the boxes of regular Pokefood for emergencies. 23:56 <RefMankey>: (tally: 400Poke) 00:01 <Suchanut02>: "Now for Lunar... He seams to like my cooking so I'll share with him what I don't eat. Koffing eat trash fumes, so I don't know what I'd do for it... Jasper and Spike are carnivores, so what I have already would be good." 00:04 <Suchanut02>: "Now, food for us..." Devin thinks as he thinks "I'd better get enough to share too.") 00:04 <Suchanut02>: He walks towards the produce section. 00:07 <RefMankey>: The produce aisle in this Pokemart was small, but it provided plenty of generic fruits and vegetables. The last delivery, if Devin cared to check, came two days ago. Something peculiar stuck out in a stack of apples; it was red and shiny like most apples, but far rounder than the rest. 00:09 <Suchanut02>: Devin takes a look at the obvious, red, shiny thing in the apples. 00:25 <RefMankey>: Devin inspects the red, shiny /ball/ of some sort. Whatever it is, it was definitely not an apple. 00:33 <Suchanut02>: Devin pokes it to see if he get's a reaction, you can never know if a odd fruit could be a live Pokemon. 00:38 <RefMankey>: Devin poked at the odd device, spinning it until that Pokeball side turned to him. A shopkeeper gave the boy an odd look, and that was all until one rogue apple decided to fall on the button. 00:38 <RefMankey>: *BOF* 00:39 <Suchanut02>: (Welp, I'm done for...) 00:40 <RefMankey>: "Talk about having a cockroach in your food!" A Venipede scurried from the produce aisle, shocking the employee! He held his broom closely, ready to swing! 00:41 <RefMankey>: Venipede F 20/20 HP 00:41 <Suchanut02>: "Wait!" Devin yells 00:42 <Suchanut02>: towards the employee, hoping to keep him from hurting himself, or the Pokemon. 00:54 <RefMankey>: Devin propped himself between the two as a barrier. This guard put him at the brunt of attacks, he taking a *swing* and an *attack*... 00:55 <Suchanut02>: Devin braces(*guards*) for impact....... 00:56 <RefMankey>: "W-woah!" The guard tries to switch his direction, but he was far too late; the broom made its impact! The Venipede just hit and run. Accidental or not, Devin took some heavy bruises... 00:58 <Suchanut02>: Devin end's up knocked on the floor from the impact "Ouch....." He grunts as Ruto runs over to him to check on him. "At least no-one got too injured..." 01:00 <RefMankey>: [Devin F 9/15 HP] 01:00 <RefMankey>: [Devin /M/ 9/15 HP] 01:00 <Suchanut02>: ( I dont think so) 01:00 <RefMankey>: ( you know what, I think I'm just going to call an intermission. I am clearly not fit for this today xD ) Bonus: all the times Mankey screwed up in just two hours 01:03 <RefMankey>: all those errors on my part 01:03 <RefMankey>: >no reaction to Zorua then jumping on the food 01:03 <RefMankey>: >thinking Ruto went in the ball 01:03 <RefMankey>: >forgetting Devin had hands 01:03 <Suchanut02>: yeah... 01:03 <RefMankey>: >thinking Devin grabbed the ball 01:03 <RefMankey>: >accidentally forgetting the shop employee was not the keeper 01:04 <RefMankey>: >forgetting to describe the Venipede 01:04 <RefMankey>: >thinking Devin was male 01:04 <RefMankey>: *female 01:04 <Suchanut02>: 01:04 <RefMankey>: holy crap I did it again 01:04 <Suchanut02>: there it is

WOAH DUDE 14:10 <RefMankey>: The man that swung at Devin briefly returned the broom to his side to yell: "Stay out of the way!" With thick employee boots, the man rushed over to the Venipede and tried swinging away at it - to him, there was no problem a broom couldn't swipe away. 14:11 <RefMankey>: The Venipede, on the other hand, rushed around like a mice stuck on an owl's trail. "DUDE, WHAT?" loudly burst from one side of the store. 14:12 <Suchanut02>: "Don't attack it with the broom, it has a pokeball!" Devin says as he get's up and heads to the apple stand where he found it. 14:13 <Suchanut02>: "Venipede, youl be safer in here!" he says as he grabs the ball and tryes to make it return. 14:14 <Suchanut02>: Ruto ran over to check on the familiar voice that had just re-appeared. 14:19 <RefMankey>: "Then put it back in, kid! Geez!" The annoyed keeper wanted nothing more than the Venipede out of the store. Given it nabbed a share of food - a bag of potato chips and a flask outstanding - he sought vengeance. At the moment, it was two store employees, a strange man in green with a Voltorb, and Ruto standing in front of Devin, trying to return the monster 14:20 <RefMankey>: to its Pokeball. At this point the Venipede saw the ball as vacation. Without so much as an eye to who used it, it went into the ball almost immediately. Beats getting crushed with a broom. 14:22 <RefMankey>: "Oh, God." The female employee, blue-haired and annoyed, prepared for Sanchez's onslaught of dudery. "Devin dude, it's been too long since I last saw you!" With the Venipede out of the way, he rushed to plant a playful fist on Devin's noggin. 14:31 <Suchanut02>: "I didn't expect a Venipede to be in the batch of apples... in a Pokeball no less." Devin thinks as he looks at the Pokeball, then he readies himself for who was approaching next. "Yeah it's been a while." Devin says wincing from the sow of friendship that Sanchez was giving. 14:31 <Suchanut02>: *show of friendship 15:03 <Suchanut02>: "What are you doing here?" Devin asks as he pries himself from Sanchez's "attack". While making sure that he doesn't press the button on the Pokeball. 17:43 <RefMankey>: Sanchez stared down at the Lillipup. /Zorua/, he couldn't stop thinking to himself, /that's his Zorua/. "Hey dude, we all gotta refill our supplies sometime! I mean Lenora isn't exactly a pushover dude! My Machoke got one-hit KO'd!" That turned some heads. "One-hit killed a Machoke," the clerk said. A bag of several potions lied at the counter, and Sanchez 17:43 <RefMankey>: made his transaction quickly. "There you go, dudette!" 17:46 <Suchanut02>: "Lenora.... You mean the gym leader?" Devin asks as he looks at the "man" clad in green. "Is she really that tough?" 17:54 <RefMankey>: "Pranksters." Once silent throughout the impromptu conversation, the broom-wielder clutched his fist. "Emily doesn't ever make her shift..." On a more Pokemon-oriented side, Sanchez explained: "I got my Machoke to slam it with a Focus Punch...but then she totally read it, dude! Just straight up knocked it out!" "Barbarian," the woman said. "Can I ring you?" 17:54 <RefMankey>: she then asked to Devin.

Squash Baguette <RefMankey>: Some time ago...
20:26 <RefMankey>: Sanchez stared down at the Lillipup. /Zorua/, he couldn't stop thinking to himself, /that's his Zorua/. "Hey dude, we all gotta refill our supplies sometime! I mean Lenora isn't exactly a pushover dude! My Machoke got one-hit KO'd!" That turned some heads. "One-hit killed a Machoke," the clerk said. A bag of several potions lied at the counter, and Sanchez
20:26 <RefMankey>: made his transaction quickly. "There you go, dudette!"
20:26 <RefMankey>: "Lenora.... You mean the gym leader?" Devin asks as he looks at the "man" clad in green. "Is she really that tough?"
20:27 <RefMankey>: "Pranksters." Once silent throughout the impromptu conversation, the broom-wielder clutched his fist. "Emily doesn't ever make her shift..." On a more Pokemon-oriented side, Sanchez explained: "I got my Machoke to slam it with a Focus Punch...but then she totally read it, dude! Just straight up knocked it out!" "Barbarian," the woman said. "Can I ring you?"
20:27 <RefMankey>: -cue-
20:29 <RefMankey>: Catching her tongue, the woman adjusted her speech and clarified: "Mr. Bark?"
20:33 <Suchanut02>: "Hmm?" Devi thinks as he looks towards the clerk that is behind the counter "Oh! Sorry, I'm not done yet..."
20:35 <RefMankey>: "Take your time, sweetie," she replies. Sanchez, still drumming fingertips around the counter, asked of Devin: "Getting anything good, dude?"
20:43 <Suchanut02>: "Are you talking abut Pokemon or grocery's?" Devin asks, wondering why Sanchez was being so vague.
20:47 <RefMankey>: Sanchez eyed his own grocery bag, brown paper crinkling under his massive hands. The store-girl cringed. The duster walked off, claiming to, " handle the floors." However, this was not Sanchez's whole focus. "Meant groceries dude, but either one!" He says this as he whips out a Pokeball of his own.
20:54 <Suchanut02>: "Uhhhh, no thanks. They wouldn't like swarms of Pokemon causing havoc." Devin says, fearing the future. "Besides the few other reasons we shouldn't."
20:55 <Suchanut02>: "For what I'm buying..."(I cant remember)
20:58 <RefMankey>: Devin and the store owner both questioned Sanchez's action. He, with his shiny sabre, meant no harm. "Oh, nonono dudes! Just looking! They need levels! Devin, how are yours doing?" Eventually, the man's chatty demeanor triggered the clerk to write a small note. Crinkled receipt paper read: "Listen. I'll give you a 20% discount if you get him out of here."
20:59 <RefMankey>: "Quietly." She smirked at the boy before walking back to check on an assortment of boxes.
21:03 <Suchanut02>: "Uh, how about this?" Devin says "We can talk to each-other outside after I'm done, but I need quiet so I can focus on the math because my house is almost due for a payment."
21:04 <Suchanut02>: "Plus I still need to gather some things for later."
21:09 <RefMankey>: "This?" "Dang, you have a house?" "Well...like what?" The many questions of Sanchez's, in spite of whatever compelling answers Devin held on person, ended with a /buzz/ in his pocket. He pulled out his phone and announced: "Sorry, dude; it's time for me to go!" 19:20. "I'm going to get my black belt. See 'ya, Devin-dude!"
21:10 <RefMankey>: And just like that, Sanchez loomed out the doors with a whistle. Once his green-suited self left the area, the girl returned from "inventory." She eyed Devin with disbelief. "...how?"
21:11 <RefMankey>: "...Black Belt.../what/? Even the item..."
21:16 <Suchanut02>: "Uhh, he was late?" Devin says, still questioning the actions of his friend "I guess I'll go back to shopping, once I give you this." Devin hands the employee the Pokeball with the formerly agitated Pokemon still inside.
21:17 <Suchanut02>: "I believe you should give it back to it's owner. Unless it's going to cause you more trouble than it's worth."
22:51 <RefMankey>: "Didn't sound like it." The clerk rolled her eyes on mentions of /lateness/. He was late, but not the right kind! Speak of the Devil; Devin handed the clerk the Venipede's ball. Her eyes lit. "Oh! I'll contact the manager at once. Thank you!" With that, she was off.
22:53 <Suchanut02>: Devin heads back to the food section, searching for ether ready-made food or caned foods.
22:55 <RefMankey>: Strutting past a small mess, Devin found both readily available. The majority of these shelves offered the Elite 4-sponsored rations and lunchboxes, but careful eyes could spot a gem in the bunch..
22:59 <Suchanut02>: "Hmm..." Devin thinks as he notices the "gem"
23:00 <Suchanut02>: After Devin scours the shelves of ready made food
23:06 <Suchanut02>: "Hmmm... I wonder what types I can clearly see." Devin thinks as he looks at the many variety.
23:08 <RefMankey>: Beans and rice were recurring products. Water was a staple in some cans. Bricks of pasta and hardtac need not apply. Mixed vegetables were available at a mere 20 Poke a can! More specific tastes could search beyond carrots, green beans, and cauliflower.
23:20 <Suchanut02>: "A can or two of the more... Tasteful mixed vegetables. Two of the caned pasta... and a Caned Fruit..." Devin says out loud.
23:23 <Suchanut02>: As he gathers the items.
23:24 <RefMankey>: "...okay." The broom-wielder wasn't sure what Devin was going for, but he had a good supply in his hands.
23:25 <RefMankey>: (total: 500 - package of Pokefood, 2cans veggies, 2cans pasta, 1can fruit)
23:32 <Suchanut02>: "That sounds good." Devin thinks as he looks at the caned meat..... and get's 2 cans of the fish. Then he heads to the checkout, ready to pay for the traveling rations
23:41 <RefMankey>: Hunger drove the Trainer to buy food for weeks, then to purchase it. "Hungry?" The girl instantly returned to the counter, handling his totals with care. "How do you even eat this?" she asked, "Add salt?"
23:41 <RefMankey>: Truthfully, that food was far from /spoiled/ or /bad/. It was just far too bland for the woman's tastes.
23:42 <Suchanut02>: "I'm stocking up for the long haul." Devin explains "I know how to cook well, so I should be able to make something out of this that's edible."
23:48 <RefMankey>: The girl nodded, flashing a total of "500 POKE" on her register. A bronze namepin displayed: "TIA." Bagging groceries, "Tia" continued: "Oh, a cook? I wish I could..." A grumble. She didn't mind the talk; "nothing happens at night."
23:52 <Suchanut02>: "It's not too hard if you start with the directions." Devin says as he hands over the money "Plus if your not too busy, I could give you some cooking pointers tomorrow."
00:13 <RefMankey>: "And that's why I fail." The girl laughed off her ineptitude before Devin proved himself quite busy "Only if you have time. Heard from my sister you're up to some great things - don't want to waste them."
00:18 <Suchanut02>: "Wait... Your Rhianna's sister!?!" Devin says, just realizing that this woman looks strikingly like Rhianna.
00:42 <RefMankey>: Tia deposited the money, but then waited until both parties made eye contact to confirm. "You /detective/, you-!" She playfully, lightly pushed Devin. "She's out and about now. Said all sorts of /nasty/ things, though..."
00:44 <Suchanut02>: "I might be stupid for asking... But what was the general point of her, uhhh, speech?" Devin asks, cringing
00:45 <Suchanut02>: and preparing his mind for any posibility.
00:46 <RefMankey>: "...what do you mean?" Tilting her head, Tia lacked insight on this supposed "speech." So she said the most she could: "I didn't think she was one for presentations."
00:47 <Suchanut02>: "I meant, what did she mean when she was talking."
00:50 <Suchanut02>: Devin says, hoping to clarify what he ment
00:50 <RefMankey>: "Talking about what? You?" The woman spread her arms on the counter.
00:51 <Suchanut02>: ".... Why was she angry?" Devin tries once again. Packing his pack with the things he bought.
00:53 <RefMankey>: "Treatment?" Tia shrugged, lightly yawning. "Allergies like that aren't common."
00:57 <Suchanut02>: "Oh, that..... I bet I didn't show my best side, getting her allergy to flair up huh?" Devin thinks out loud... "And I kind of regret catching that Sharpedo for her first Pokemon....."
01:03 <RefMankey>: Tia tilted her head at what seemed to be a /confessional/. Sure explains a lot about her behavior. "I can't blame you. Again, how often do people fly in your face telling people about, 'fairy allergies?' That's the worst!" Whether or not he followed, she giggled.
01:03 <RefMankey>: ...the second explanation, on the flipside, turned Tia aghast: "You caught her a /what/."
01:05 <Suchanut02>: "Well... she went ahead and took it after I threw a pokeball to save one of my Pokemon, I promise that I tried to talk her out of it... But you know how she is."
01:07 <Suchanut02>: Devin fully expected that reaction from her... wait "What's your name? I guess you know mine...."
01:10 <Suchanut02>: Devin fully expected that reaction from her... wait "Well, I guess you know my name already, I was going to introduce myself...."
01:15 <RefMankey>: "...hoo, boy. Don't think she's killed anyone yet - Gods, has she?" She, too, thought aloud, and tried to find some solace with this odd Trainer. "We both know eachother's names! Just not, well, eachother."
01:17 <Suchanut02>: "Well, She let it eat a Purloin... and the last time I saw her it was obeying her well." Devin says, feeling somewhat nauseous at the past seen.
01:20 <RefMankey>: Huh. More sensible than she anticipated. That's still a slaughtered Purrloin - an unfortunate fact of life - but she sighed it away: "Nothing you can do about carnivorous jaws," Tia replied.
01:22 <RefMankey>: *SWING!* The managerial door flew open, and out came a bald, hazel-eyed man. Closing the buttons of his brown trenchcoat, this man checked on the store. "Uh, Tia."
01:22 <RefMankey>: There were supplies still that she didn't ring.
01:27 <Suchanut02>: "oops... I almost forgot something.' Devin says as heads to grab a belt... And then turns to the man while ringing up the belt( a larger size of course), wanting to get a glimpse of the man.

The Land where No One Gave a Baloney 21:17 <RefMankey>: A time ago.. 21:17 <RefMankey>: There were supplies still that she didn't ring. 21:17 <RefMankey>: "oops... I almost forgot something.' Devin says as heads to grab a belt... And then turns to the man while ringing up the belt( a larger size of course), wanting to get a glimpse of the man. 21:17 <RefMankey>: -cue- 21:18 <RefMankey>: "...I actually didn't notice the pants until now. Adventurer's marks, am I right?" It seemed Tia's personality would not waver soon; she rung up the belt for an extra 200 Poke. "Puts you at 700, my good man." She smiled, only to turn back at her manager. 21:21 <RefMankey>: "Mr. Legsworth?" In every sense of the word, this man was /big/. His speech did not reflect as well: "...okay. You've noticed all the Venipede-balls we've found recently?" 21:24 <Suchanut02>: "It's a common occurrence?" Devin says as he hands the pay over. "I thought it was just a accident." 21:27 <RefMankey>: "Ah, yes. Sir, this is De-" "I overheard, Tiana." Adjusting a sport-coat, the manager re-focused on Devin, purchases on hand. "I thought so too. Three in a week, though...killed the coincidence." The man turned into his column-like arms and sneezed. 21:31 <RefMankey>: "Bless you!" Tia turned away from her manager and back to Devin. Her expression soured. "...yeah. Don't get why they're so problematic, either." Legsworth kept silent on the matter. "Need to go," he said, "just caught and thrown in a cell." 21:34 <RefMankey>: The conversation delved into a matter of work very quickly, and if Devin chose to stay, he could hear in on all the ludicrous details. Winston taking off work tomorrow for holiday. Tiana holding the store for lots of pay. A lack of people keeping watch. 21:39 <Suchanut02>: "I'd be happy to help, if I could get a time and a place." Devin says, thinking about what he has planned tomorrow "Asagi will need to know the change of plans."
21:43 <RefMankey>: At once, Tia turned to Devin. "Making a lot of plans. Don't want to stop you by any means if you can, but...are you sure about this, man? It's a noon to midnight gig." Perhaps Devin's perils were better-known than he anticipated!
21:47 <RefMankey>: Tiana would get close to Devin. Very close. She told the manager that there would be private words, and sure enough, the manager...just left for his room for a moment.
21:49 <RefMankey>: She did speak: "...nothing naughty; don't worry. I'm just saying it might be for the better that you get to Castelia."
21:49 <RefMankey>: Tiana knew Asagi by proxy, though she did not act upon these "plans" Devin made.
21:55 <Suchanut02>: "Why is that?" Devin asks, feeling like a detective from a old movie. The tension he felt was as thick as pea soup, I think....
22:04 <RefMankey>: Tiana shook her head. Her smile did not return. "This stop'd be a waste of time. You have to go speak to researchers in Castelia, no?" She twisted her hair.
22:10 <Suchanut02>: "I guess that's true..." Devin thinks out loud. "Could we exchange numbers? Your about the only person I know that isn't running around the region..."
22:10 <Suchanut02>: " And I would have gotten Rhianna's number too, it seems like she can't stay in one place long enough for me to be able to ask for it..."
22:15 <RefMankey>: Tiana's eyes alit. "Oh; you have a phone! Rhianna told me otherwise. Guess my sister doesn't like you very much." She shrugged, and with minimal precision, wrote three numbers. "She tells me everything, Devin. Don't blame me if these names surprise you."
22:15 <RefMankey>: [Numbers: Tiana's, James's, Oliver's, Rhianna's]
22:22 <Suchanut02>: "I don't think I did anything to make her hate me... Did I?" Devin asks, genuinely curious about the subject "The only two things I did was keeping her from dieing, and catching her a Pokemon."
22:25 <RefMankey>: She smiled softly. "Thinks you're weak. She hates those kinds of people. I'm not too worried about that, though; Asagi's a good mentor."
22:28 <Suchanut02>: "Ohhh.... I guess she's true then, I only got my badge because Cress accidentally cheated..." Devin thinks out loud, as Ruto hops up to the counter and reveals her "true colors" to Tiena.
22:30 <Suchanut02>: "But it's fine, I'm not aiming for the Pokemon league any-how, I just figured I'd challenge the gym leader of each town once, ether in an official or unofficial battle."
22:31 <Suchanut02>: "Cress actualy invited me to the gym... Kind of odd huh?"
22:33 <RefMankey>: Tiana's smile thinned. "I heard, actually. That was...weird." The clock ticked and nearly struck 11 o'clock. She continued whispering: "...it is nice to speak with you in person, Devin...but you might want to go find some rest." A slight chuckle.
22:37 <Suchanut02>: "Thanks.. You too." Devin says as he walks out to the city, wondering "Where did all the time go?" 22:41 <Suchanut02>: "Now, to the Pokecenter." Is Devin's exact thought as he heads that direction, hoping that the prices aren't too high. 22:49 <RefMankey>: "...alright. Good night, Devin!" Not sure if Devin insulted her sleeplessness or genuinely wished for well rest, she opted for the latter and put an arm on the counter. She'd have her own storms to brave.
-Devin walks to the Pokemon center and takes a civilian room for free, washing himself off-
23:14 <Suchanut02>: "There we are..." Devin says as he set's his backpack and the egg down... He really had too much stuff in there...
23:15 <RefMankey>: "Rest well." Room 109, painted tan, hardly held 100 square feet of space. It was not a shared room, but it held two metal beds, a table, a radio, a closet, and a bathroom. No window. Simple designs.
23:18 <Suchanut02>: "You need to stay safe..." Devin says while talking to the egg, wrapping it in a unused blanket. Then he turns to his bag and thinks "I need to get rid of some stuff tomorrow." as he yawns....
23:20 <Suchanut02>: He pulls out his pajamas and changes into them, while in the closet, and lays down in the bed, almost falling asleep immediately...
23:22 <RefMankey>: ...added details, like a single-panel gas stove, fell numb to Devin's tiredness. The man fell down and collapsed like the Titanic on one cold iceberg.
23:23 <RefMankey>: Something /pervaded/ his sleep, however. Come 9:00, a purple aura danced around his vision, inducing a sweet, pink aroma. "Not again. It would then face a single, green /swipe/.
23:24 <RefMankey>: The alarm in the room went off around then, anyways.
23:34 <Suchanut02>: Devin sits straight up in bed, alert and agitated because of the horrible nightmares and pinkish fog that clouded his mind, and reaches for the closest Pokeball...
23:34 <Suchanut02>: (To be continued!)
23:34 <RefMankey>: (To be continued! That was fun!)

I Am The One that Stammers 15:02 <RefMankey>: Something /pervaded/ his sleep, however. Come 9:00, a purple aura danced around his vision, inducing a sweet, pink aroma. "Not again. It would then face a single, green /swipe/. 15:02 <RefMankey>: The alarm in the room went off around then, anyways. 15:02 <RefMankey>: Devin sits straight up in bed, alert and agitated because of the horrible nightmares and pinkish fog that clouded his mind, and reaches for the closest Pokeball... 15:02 <RefMankey>: -cue- 15:05 <RefMankey>: Wandering eyes sought answers that, in this universe, didn't exist. His hand rested on Ruto's Poke Ball. The room was simple per usual. He could see more that wasn't present to his formerly sleepy mind - mainly, a bathroom and a flat countertop. One stove panel. 15:06 <RefMankey>: Not a single one of those rued with the sweet aroma in his deams. 15:10 <Suchanut02>: "What!?" Devin remarks, bewildered beyond belief as he *sends* Ruto out to reassure him. "I could have sworn my dreams were being peered into... And it was such a creepy feeling, almost like when I encountered that Gardevoir..." 15:10 <RefMankey>: *bof* 15:10 <RefMankey>: Zorua [Ruto] F 20/20 HP {Illusion - Lillipup} 19:13 <Suchanut02>: Ruto reacts to Devin's mood, he was terrified and clearly had something on his mind. "What was that?" was Ruto's thought as she got a whiff of a familiar sent... one she hoped she would never smell again.
19:15 <Suchanut02>: She quickly scours the room with her nose, trying to find where the sent was coming from...
19:18 <RefMankey>: Ruto must've spiked herself. The Lillipup-lite's senses deceived it so; this was none more than a regular room. She unfurled a basket that revealed papers, many filled with room information.
19:20 <Suchanut02>: She jumps up to Devin and yaps, hoping that Devin takes the signal for what it is, a sign that there were no intruders.
19:24 <Suchanut02>: "It must have been my imagination." Devin thinks as he was about to get out of the bed, and Ruto yapped at him. "Thank you, for everything you've done so far." He says as he pats Ruto "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you helping me."
19:26 <Suchanut02>: He then starts his daily routine, letting all his Pokemon out and giving each of them a portion of basic Pokefood, checking on the egg, and then getting himself some breakfast in the form of the caned fruit.
19:29 <RefMankey>: *boooooof*
19:31 <RefMankey>: (basic Pokefood - 4/5, egg - 14/15 areas!)
19:32 <RefMankey>: Devin might not've won any recent battles, but he could sure make a hearty meal from even the most basic materials. Smoke may have dampened the mood, but even the shy bog could appreciate the extent
19:32 <RefMankey>: of his kindness.
19:45 <RefMankey>: Everyone ate. Some even complimented the "chef" for his work!
19:56 <Suchanut02>: "Now... What's the phone number for the bill at home?" Devin says thinking about his parents and what could be facing them after he wakes them up....
19:59 <RefMankey>: ( He could find it slipping through his Pokenav, I'd guess )
20:01 <Suchanut02>: "I hope it's in here..." Devin says as he searches through his Pokenav... hopeful to find it's number.
20:03 <RefMankey>: The home number was obviously there, but he did not store the bill itself. Perhaps he'd best look for it...
20:08 <Suchanut02>: "Great..." Devin thinks as he sorts through his bag, maybe he took the bill with him when he left?
20:10 <Suchanut02>: "And whatever Junk I find in here could be recycled too."
20:11 <RefMankey>: "There was a half-cut loaf of bread; under that was a grocery bill that totaled 1000 Poke. It was left ignored by the Trainer..."
20:16 <RefMankey>: He did not find the bill he was looking for, but the rest of his materials were present - save his arrowhead, which wasn't present even when he did unload his bag.
22:32 <Suchanut02>: "That's odd... I could have sworn I had it here." Devin says to himself, thinking about both the bill and the arrowhead.
22:33 <RefMankey>: ...there was a strange dust in his bag, but nothing that indicated the /bill/ was missing. Would Devin worry about this inconvenience for so long?

POOF
23:45 <RefMankey>: (Exactly what does Devin throw out?)
23:46 <RefMankey>: (You may know, but I don't)
23:46 <Suchanut02>: (Uhhh....)
23:49 <Suchanut02>: (The broken belt and the empty bottles)
23:49 <RefMankey>: *ditches*
23:50 <RefMankey>: (make that note on your character sheet)
23:50 <RefMankey>: (*make the removals from*)
23:50 <Suchanut02>: (kk)
23:50 <RefMankey>: (those potatoes are not lasting, btw. They're at least a month old)
23:51 <Suchanut02>: (Then I throw them away too)
23:51 <RefMankey>: *whoosh*
23:52 <RefMankey>: Ruto is rather grateful you rid that rotting food. Presumably, there will be some confused housekeepers. 23:53 <Suchanut02>: (What else needs to go?)
23:54 <RefMankey>: (What looks odd/useless to you?)
23:54 <RefMankey>: (Your decision, ultimately)
23:55 <Suchanut02>: (uhhh...The mushrooms. I think that's it)
23:56 <RefMankey>: (The mushrooms. You sure?)
23:56 <Suchanut02>: (Are they still fresh?)
23:56 <RefMankey>: (Sort of? They're still glowing)
23:56 <RefMankey>: (There aren't any unusual odors)
23:57 <Suchanut02>: (Oh. Then I'm done.)
23:57 <Suchanut02>: "Are you ready to go?" Devin asks Ruto, with a lighter backpack on.
23:58 <RefMankey>: It wasn't lighter by much.
23:58 <Suchanut02>: (Still better than it was.)
23:58 <RefMankey>: (Truth)
23:58 <RefMankey>: (You want me to control your Pokemon?)
23:59 <Suchanut02>: (You can.)
23:59 <RefMankey>: (OK)
00:00 <RefMankey>: Ruto gallops at his side. At this point, there wasn't much to do in the room. Devin Bark had a /lot/ on his docket.
00:01 <Suchanut02>: Devin heads towards the exit, knowing that he paid the nurse last night.
00:02 <RefMankey>: So he does.
00:09 <RefMankey>: The Nurse waved as Devin left the confines of the center. He rested and ate very well, and started his travels with a spring in his step. There were all sorts of routes in the city - some heading to commerce. One led to the legendary Pinwheel Forest
00:13 <Suchanut02>: "She said to meat her at Pinwheel Forest, so let's go there." Devin remembers as he heads to the forest.
00:26 <RefMankey>: The boy struggled to keep his arms in check. His legs quivered. Devin felt a tremendous shaking in his arms...
00:27 <Suchanut02>: "!!!"(Metal gear style!)
00:27 <RefMankey>: It was definitely the pouch in his front! And...
00:27 <RefMankey>: *CRACK*
00:27 <RefMankey>: ...a Sigiliph rose from the egg!
00:28 <RefMankey>: *correction: Sigilyph*
00:29 <RefMankey>: ( 20/20 HP, F, ??? Nature, 0/10 EXP, {Gust, Miracle Eye, Future Sight} )
00:29 <Suchanut02>: "What?" Devin reacts as he witnessed the act. "Hello there." was what he said afterwords a she offers a Oran Berry(as long as it isn't rotten)
00:33 <RefMankey>: The miracle of birth bestowed upon Devin was up in arms to meet its...father? Whoever this boy was, it floated a good four feet away. How would it trust this strange man?
00:34 <RefMankey>: The woods didn't exactly provide a reaction to the broken egg.
00:39 <Suchanut02>: Devin holds out his hand, showing the Sigilyph he had food for it. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm Devin, and this is Ruto." He says quietly and (a bit) excitedly, while motioning to his Pokemon that was already out.
00:41 <RefMankey>: Those words were /alien/ to it! So, too, were the smells surrounding the Sigilyph! One may recognize them as pine and Oran, but the Pokemon knew little about them! It was the latter scent that caught her attention, though. She limbered forwards.
00:41 <RefMankey>: Nearby bushes rustled.
00:42 <Suchanut02>: "Please no...." Was Devin's thought as he walked beside it, looking and ready to protect his new "daughter".
00:42 <RefMankey>: ...
00:42 <RefMankey>: *ZOOM!*
00:44 <RefMankey>: With a burst of air, the creature of the bushes *zoomed* past Devin with *Air Slash!* It attacks the Sigilyph with Air Slash!
00:44 <RefMankey>: It...
00:45 <Suchanut02>: "Block it!" Was Devin's reaction as he jump's in the way without thinking.
00:45 <RefMankey>: ...
00:45 <RefMankey>: *SLASH*
00:45 <RefMankey>: *SLAM!*
00:46 <RefMankey>: With a burst of pressurized air, the creature rushed forward! Devin could barely see the monster's segmented body before it absolutely wrecked him! He flew into a tree!
00:47 <Suchanut02>: Ruto goes ahead and attacks whatever attacked the Sigilyph/Devin with *Foul Play*.
00:47 <RefMankey>: [Devin M 8/16 HP]
00:48 <RefMankey>: VS ???
00:48 <Suchanut02>: "Ouch!" Devin remarks, clearly in pain as he hit's the tree and feels the Air Slash.....
00:48 <RefMankey>: The Sigilyph immediately left! However, Ruto didn't stand for the attack, and clawed after it! But the creature was already in another set of bushes...
00:48 <RefMankey>: It...
00:49 <RefMankey>: ...Ruto didn't latch on.
00:49 <RefMankey>: (Sigilyph fled in the beast's direction!)
00:51 <Suchanut02>: "Get it!" Devin grunts as he get's up and run's after the Sigilyph.... "That will hurt in the morning... Ouch, it hurt's now!" He thinks as they both chase both Pokemon. "Cut through the brush with cut!"
00:51 <Suchanut02>: "errr... scratch!"
00:55 <RefMankey>: Despite the setback, Devin picked himself up from his mess of oak and dirt, rushing after the winged creature! His footsteps carried a tremendous weight. Many thickets were cleaved away with Ruto's sharp claws. He caught wind of the Sigilyph, though it found a bounty of its own:
00:55 <RefMankey>: Payapa bush. If Devin was careful, the creature wouldn't notice him.
00:56 <Suchanut02>: "Ohhh...."Devin thinks as he stops himself... and watches.
01:00 <RefMankey>: A minute passes. Sigilyph creeps up the thicket of berries.
01:01 <Suchanut02>: "Don't fail me now..." Devin thinks as he walks towards it, holding a Pokeball ready to throw...
01:02 <RefMankey>: ...he throws his Poke Ball and hopes for the best.
01:02 <RefMankey>: *WHOOSH*
01:02 <RefMankey>: ...
01:02 <RefMankey>: ...
01:02 <RefMankey>: . . . *click*
01:03 <RefMankey>: Devin did what he should've done for the first time as a Breeder and captures Sigilyph!
01:05 <RefMankey>: (statistics the same as given)
01:15 <Suchanut02>: "Yeah!" Devin remarks, happy....before feeling the wounds again. "Sssshoot, that will make a bruise." Devin remarks as he winces and staggers.
01:21 <Suchanut02>: "Let's try to find Asagi..." Devin says as he motions Ruto to follow, saying "Thank you Ruto." he puts the egg carrier on backwards, since it has no egg in it now, and you can never know when vines would come in handy.
01:23 <Suchanut02>: Then he heads back to the path.

Papayas
21:28 <RefMankey>: Ignoring the Payapa bush, Devin squabbles. Ruto slaps the leaves away, making a note to *snap* a stick whenever Devin came close. Wanton destruction of plant matter aside, Devin returned to his dirt trail with relatively few injuries. He was just a slow walker.
21:30 <RefMankey>: However, the damage of the /thing/ was impossible to ignore. Unbeknownst to Devin, an entire birch tree fell upon the path. A truck-long timber-stick lied in his path.
21:35 <Suchanut02>: "What?" Devin remarks as he notices the tree. "What did this? And are there any paths around?" Were his thoughts as he takes a closer look.
21:37 <RefMankey>: ...the tree itself wasn't very high. It was quite clearly a birch, one Devin'd see in his days as Professor's assistant. He and Ruto could climb over the tree if they dare wished. Still, the path ahead was clearly visible, and trodden with footsteps; travelers were common here.
21:44 <Suchanut02>: "What is it blocking?" Devin wonders as he tries climbing on top of the tree, and looks over.
21:47 <RefMankey>: ...the rest of the route. After that first hurdle, the route ahead spilled into Trainer chaos. Some younger Trainers chased the grass and dove into puddles with more hope than they could expect. Older ones searched more cautiously. No words on the destruction behind the route. Asagi herself was nowhere to be found in this thee-way fork in Pinwheel's "roads."
21:47 <RefMankey>: One led through a deep thicket. The other two, deep marshes. They were separated by a large batch of trees, shrubs, and mushrooms Devin should know not to touch.
21:53 <Suchanut02>: "I better grab one of those Papayas." Devin suddenly thinks "My new Pokemon seamed to like the smell of them." as he steps back down and heads back.
21:56 <Suchanut02>: "I might like one, and Asagi might come by while I'm feeding her."
21:56 <Suchanut02>: (Her meaning, referring to his Sigilyph)
