14:38 *** RefMankey joined #KantoRoute14
14:39 <DaiRef>: Route 14 was a beautiful location. A path that stood on the sea bluff of the east, the winds soared through windmills, giving energy to many homes in the nearby cities. There were a few people walking about the route, making their way to their next destinations.
14:40 <DaiRef>: [ Pokemon Seen: Pidgey x 2 ( Flying ) , Tentacool x 3 ( In the Ocean ), Bellsprout x1 ( In the nearby grass )
14:43 <RefMankey>: "Ah, pray tell; what will I find here?" Twiddling with a teal, linen robe, looking both directions, Sabine rhetorically dug for information. She didn't expect to catch anything but a strange look with a phrase like that. Eyes jolted towards the yellow bulb in the grass. "Guess I was wrong." It looked like a strange, pitiful creature.
14:43 <RefMankey>: Sabine inched closer to the strange Grass-type.
14:44 <DaiRef>: The bellsprout looked at the girl, trying to slowly creep away... it had a plain look on it's face, trying to act as if it didn't notice her. It was actually a slightly speedy pokemon and was agile.
14:46 <RefMankey>: "...eh." The Bellsprout crept away ever-slowly. Sabine didn't believe this /Bellsprout/'s movement was a coincidence, however; every step lurched away from the creature. To herself, she asked: "Where does he plan to go from here?"
14:47 <DaiRef>: The bellsprout then walked into tall grass, attempting to blend into it's surroundings.
14:49 <RefMankey>: Sabine sighed. "No sense of adventure. I'll leave it be." There was no point in trying to fight a lazy Pokemon - they would put in bare-minimum effort and waste the opportunity! She decided to scour another patch of tall grass. With her stick, she prodded around and hoped to nab something great.
14:52 <DaiRef>: As she walked through the grass a new pokemon was caught in sight. It had purple fur around it's body and sharp looking fangs on the front of it's snout. Antennae jolted out of it's head and it's compound eyes flashed in all directions. It stared down at the girl from a tree, curious.
14:52 <DaiRef>:
14:53 <DaiRef>: It was a Venonat!
14:56 <RefMankey>: As soon as she felt her stick rub against a very fuzzy object, Sabine stopped prodding. A large, fuzzy object attacked; Sabine stepped back! Instead of cowardly, the bug merely looked around. Was it preparing an attack? Would she unleash Hell upon the furry thing?
14:58 <RefMankey>: She took a huge risk, searching her bag for a block of PokeFood. When she held out that yellow block, she asked the creature: "Are you hungry, little one?" From the back, her other hand latched onto Rubiyyah's portal. Without considering its eyes, things could get ugly.
15:01 <DaiRef>: The small creature had a glee of joy on it's face. It came down to the girl's hand and it jolted a beam of happiness as it sniffed her hand then munched on the block of pokefood. It was actually quite friendly towards trainers it seemed!
15:04 <RefMankey>: She took the block simply, very much so. Would she even need to challenge it? Sure had some potential going up to her, whatever it was doing. "Anyone protecting you at the moment?" She held a different Pokeball in her hands.
15:05 <DaiRef>: The venonat looked up at her curiously and tilted it's head. Suddenly a voice could be heard with a shout.
15:05 <DaiRef>: ???: "Ember on it!!"
15:05 <DaiRef>: It rushes!!
15:05 <DaiRef>: *HTS* The venonat is hit!!
15:06 <DaiRef>: Venonat: 12/20 HP [ Burned ]
15:06 <DaiRef>: : A young girl and her vulpix quickly ran closer towards the hurt pokemon. "Hmph.... you're not getting away!"
15:08 <RefMankey>: "W-woah!" Sabine jumped back at the woman's command! With enormous pressure, she spoke her three cents: "Woah, woah, woah! This your Venonat? About to burn the grass with it, too!"
15:10 <DaiRef>: The girl stood there with an elegant yet firm stance. "N-no.... it's not. I just happen to be training my pokemon against that wild pokemon. I have just started my journey... now if you'll excuse me-" She looked ready to attack at any moment.
15:10 <DaiRef>: The venonat cowered behind Sabine, not willing to fight the girl.
15:19 <RefMankey>: "/Excuse/ you? How about you go fetch some water and pick up after yourself first!" Raggedy and concerned, this woman looked fit to be an arsonist. Pink for feminimity. Explained the Vulpix.
15:19 <RefMankey>: Sabine almost immediately *sent* Rabiyah from her ball!
15:19 <DaiRef>: *BOF*
15:20 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP {vs} Druddigon: 20/20 HP
15:20 <RefMankey>: "I give you one opportunity." Palms crushed into one another. "Don't squash it."
15:21 <RefMankey>: With what looked to be a /squabble/, Sabine could only hope the Venonat could hold off its burn; she lacked the means to treat its ailment.
15:24 <DaiRef>: The girl looked calmly towards Sabine. "I believe commoners aren't in their place to enforce such requests." The girl said, eyeing Sabine with a look of nobility. "Step down, as I am merely doing what trainers do most.
15:24 <DaiRef>: "
15:24 <DaiRef>: "
15:27 <RefMankey>: If Sabina had a cup of coffee, this is where she spat it out. This girl was too funny! "Too noble to pick your living cigarette off the ground, huh?" Sabine adjusted her headscarf. The Dragon roared, sending grass with it, and eyed down at the Vulpix.
15:28 <RefMankey>: "You can stay here - I'll heal you when I get the chance. This 'trainer' needs to be ground back to reality." There's a difference between cowardice and strategy, as Sabine rationalized the Venonat's decision. It wouldn't take long to bring it to the world stage, she decided, using a *Pokeball* on the Venonat.
15:29 <DaiRef>: *BOF*
15:29 <DaiRef>: *CRACK*
15:29 <DaiRef>: The venonat refused to go inside of the pokeball!!
15:31 <DaiRef>: The girl looked at Sabine with the same look on her face, just a blank expression of calmness. "Can we please move this along. You're in the way and I need you to move." The girl requested. "You should step aside commoner. I won't say it again."
15:31 <RefMankey>: "...good Pokemon. Would be a shame to waste it on a criminal." Some would say Sabine's wasted her ball, but she would find another if not outright pay for it.
15:33 <RefMankey>: Sabine then looked down at herself. Large, yes. Fat, yes. Enough to block the entire route? Did she have a brain disorder? "Can't you just go around me if you so chose?" Rabiyah continued staring down the Vulpix, encouraging it to move. Daresay she *leered* at it.
15:33 <DaiRef>: Leer was used...
15:34 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 20/20 HP
15:36 <DaiRef>: The girl sighed and looked at Druddigon. "Very well...if this is how it resolves... so be it."
15:36 <DaiRef>: "Since you can't follow simple instruction..."
15:36 <DaiRef>: "Ember on Druddigon."
15:36 <DaiRef>: It charges...
15:36 <RefMankey>: "...you really aren't good at this thinking thing."
15:36 <RefMankey>: *Slide*
15:36 <DaiRef>: it...
15:37 <DaiRef>: still hit Druddigon.
15:37 <DaiRef>: Druddigon was burned!!
15:37 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 18/20 HP [ Burned ]
15:38 <RefMankey>: Sabine placed a finger on her chin, arm clasped around her mighty stick. "Oh, lottery luck. Fantastic." She had to rush the Vulpix down now. "Drudiggon, jump!"
15:38 <DaiRef>: It jumped!
15:38 <DaiRef>: Vulpix had a noble stance along with it's trainer.
15:39 <RefMankey>: She did not indicate an attack; its bodyweight would've easily crushed it. However, she had no idea how to judge this Vulpix's strength...
15:40 <RefMankey>: ...she let the Drudiggon land peacefully.
15:41 <DaiRef>: "You fail to presume any sort of strategy..." She looked into Sabine's eyes, locking into her as if she were reading her thoughts and breathing movements. "I don't think you know who you're dealing with."
15:43 <RefMankey>: Sabine met the woman's glance with a smirk. This woman was pretentious and snobby, but hilarious to mess with! "No, I don't." She kept her cards out of play, using a joke instead: "You have a name?"
15:46 <DaiRef>: "Yes...I cannot disclose my first name, but my last name is Yamamoto... my father is a researcher for professor Oak...and I was raised in Celadon." The venonat wasn't understanding much at the moment, it just stood there hurt from the attack.
15:46 <DaiRef>: She bowed, and the vulpix kneeled it's head down in nobility. "Nice to meet you."
15:50 <RefMankey>: "...uh...what?" This girl must've been tooling with Sabine's head. "Agent Yamamoto, Oak's personal aide?" Sabine gained a confused look. "Okay, don't you have better things to do than set fire to random bug Pokemon in Route 14?
15:51 <RefMankey>: She couldn't discern this as an introduction, a ceasefire, or /whatever/ this "Yamamoto" tried to do.
15:52 <DaiRef>: "Well...I have to be strong for my task. The professor told me that his grandson would aid me on my quest to place the jewels in each habitat of the three legends....but he wasn't able to come so...I need to be able to handle this journey myself..." She stated, now a little more serious.
15:57 <RefMankey>: "...you're trolling me." The Drudiggon only looked /more/ enranged since the Vulpix started spitting fire, but far too unfocused to make a strong *leer* on its own. Professor's granddaughter or not, Sabine did not approve of her methods. She felt sick and confused listening to Yamamoto explain herself. "I'll tell you what," she offered, "if you can move past
15:58 <RefMankey>: me, you'll leave scot-free. But you'll need to go, and quickly." She wouldn't accept that deal. She couldn't have possibly taken that...
16:01 <DaiRef>: "Unacceptable." She said looking at the girl's pokemon with an idea sparkling inside of her mind. "I demand that you accompany me on my journey since you have refused to stand down from your guard." A princess-like quality gleamed from her as she said so. The venonat stood there silently, looking up at Sabine.
16:06 <RefMankey>: "...accompany?" She had class, and likely held a budget that kept her attitude aloft. Feuds die hard, however, and Sabine wasn't quite ready to cede herself to the woman yet. "You have a lot of /persuading/ to do, Agent."
16:10 <DaiRef>: She then bowed and let out three stones from her bag...each one glowing with a certain intensity...the three jewels were colored differently, red, blue, and yellow. The energy pulsed inside of them brightly. "It's a symbol of my family line...we do this every 250 years...I am the heir next to abide this task." She said with a nod. "It's a symbol of peace and
16:11 <DaiRef>: harmony between us and pokemon." She said. "You see, pokemon and people need to live together, and this symbol creates a balance between us and the legends as well. If the legends are isolated from humans, how would they know to trust us if we don't respect them?" She explained in a quiet tone. The vulpix stood by her partner's side now, nuzzling her leg.
16:14 <RefMankey>: Sabine and Rabiyah intended the conversation to drag into /battle/ and /war/, not whatever this woman was offering. "...I think she's a con, Rabiyah," she whispered; the Dragon cracked its knuckles. Why so genuine? "Okay, ToC. Test your might." Pokemon, clearly. "One on one. Beat me, and I'll be your servant or whatever. If I win...I'll consider it."
16:15 <RefMankey>: Providing terms to the girl, Sabine hoped there could be some conclusion to Agent Yamamoto's charade. Surely they wouldn't burn everything in sight like a rabid Mongol to travel the Route...would they?
16:16 <DaiRef>: "Very well..." She stated.
16:16 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 18/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:17 <DaiRef>: "Vulpix... use ember!" She clapped out.
16:17 <DaiRef>: It charges....
16:17 <RefMankey>: "Jump!"
16:17 <DaiRef>: It...
16:17 <RefMankey>: "Scratch it!"
16:17 <DaiRef>: was hit straight on!! *BAM*
16:17 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 14/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:17 <DaiRef>: The druddigon dropped to the ground from the flame.
16:17 <RefMankey>: "...alright, shoot. Didn't work."
16:18 <DaiRef>: "...." The girl looked at the dragon pokemon, her hands were together in front of her legs as if she were to do another bow.
16:19 <DaiRef>: "Is that all?"
16:19 <RefMankey>: "...or that really didn't work." The Vulpix's immense pressure slammed Rabiyah to the ground, though she managed to re-collect herself. Investigate her thoughts, and one may find: /idiot/.
16:20 <RefMankey>: Sabine took the woman at least a tad more seriously now. "Scratch!" The Dragon knew all but two moves, and it didn't seem she was set to be intimidated any time soon.
16:20 <DaiRef>: It rushes...
16:20 <DaiRef>: "Ember again"
16:20 <DaiRef>: It charges...
16:20 <RefMankey>: "Special!"
16:20 <DaiRef>: *hits*
16:20 <RefMankey>: (tfw you realize special != breakthrough )
16:21 <DaiRef>: Druddigon tried to break through the flames...but it flew back from the flames yet again, unable to get close!
16:21 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 10/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:22 <RefMankey>: "...all the weak points. Has her down to a point." Drudiggon had at least two attacks left. They would not be wasted. Sabine...got her thoughts together.
16:24 <RefMankey>: "Rabiyah...slide around her."
16:24 <DaiRef>: It slides...
16:24 <DaiRef>: "Ember!"
16:24 <DaiRef>: It...
16:24 <RefMankey>: "SCRATCH!"
16:24 <DaiRef>: failed to hit it!
16:24 <DaiRef>: It rsuhes...
16:24 <DaiRef>: *smack*
16:24 <DaiRef>: *rushes
16:24 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 15/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 8/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:24 <DaiRef>: "Clever..." The girl noted. "Sliding around the opponent to confuse the accuracy count.
16:24 <DaiRef>: "
16:25 <DaiRef>: "This time I will hit though..."
16:25 <DaiRef>: "Now attack it!"
16:25 <DaiRef>: It rushes...
16:25 <RefMankey>: (right - no subtraction/division for the burn)
16:25 <RefMankey>: "Scratch back!"
16:25 <DaiRef>: it rushes...
16:25 <DaiRef>: the attacks collided!!
16:25 <DaiRef>: The druddigon smashed it's clawed hand on the ground...however...Vulpix was behind it!!
16:25 <DaiRef>: *BAM* It's tail whipped out to Druddigon's stomach.
16:26 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 15/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 2/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:26 <RefMankey>: "You had me with the Ember," she noted. That's...all she used. There was no getting around it.
16:27 <DaiRef>: The girl remained silent, letting the battle do the talking. "..." The vulpix dashed back near it's trainer, ready to finish the large beast.
16:27 <RefMankey>: "...well, shit. I cede." Sabine instinctively *returned* the Drudiggon to its ball and groaned. She made an investment, and it flopped.
16:27 <DaiRef>: *BOF*
16:27 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 15/20 HP
16:30 <RefMankey>: There wasn't a whole lot for the Trainer to give, truthfully. She had at most a hundred Pokedollars - Sabine counted out fifty-five - and opened them to the woman. "Take my offering." Vassal of a confusing rich girl - was this great or terrifying? "After all, Yamamoto, I am your /vassal/ now." She even managed a bow.
16:32 <DaiRef>: "No...keep it...you'll need it for this journey." She said with a smile. The vulpix looked up at Sabine and gave it a small friendly nick on her leg, rubbing it's head against it. The venonat, now confused at the entire situation, stayed away from the Vulpix and jumped up to Sabine's shoulder. Maybe it wanted to stay with her after all?
16:37 <RefMankey>: Sabine tilted her head. Without much in the first place, she pocketed the change and mentioned: "For someone that charged in blazing the grass, you have a very remorseful attitude." The whole journey needed answers; her notes hardly added up! "First thing: exactly where are these 'Legendary Habitats' you speak of? Anything I should know or prepare for?
16:47 <DaiRef>: "There are three locations that these pokemon appear... one is located just south of this location..most people know them as the seafoam islands... which was where I was heading to... next afterwards there's an abandoned powerplant where the other legend arrives a lot...and then...the other pokemon shows up in the Sevii Islands..."
16:47 <DaiRef>: "However...they travel a lot, so finding them will be hard...wen hich is why this is a journey." She said with a sigh.
16:48 <DaiRef>: "These pokemon are powerful...powerful enough to kill... so we have to be careful not to disturb their presence..." She stated clearly, trying to warn Sabine of the dangers lurking ahead of them.
16:52 <RefMankey>: Okay, things started getting fuzzy. Seafoam, a power plant, and the /Sevii Islands/ of all things, check. Something went on with fire, lightning, and ice. "...you mention finding the creatures, but then not disturbing their presence. Did I hear correctly?" She had to hear out her leader's plan; she was not going to die because of a sudden burst of
16:53 <RefMankey>: incompetence.
16:55 <DaiRef>: "Yes....so if we are to visit them...we have to be prepared to..." Her eyes now away from the lady, looking into the grass... "...face them to earn their respect." She had a serious tone in her voice. "Which is why I must grow my strength as a trainer..." She explained. "However, we can't back down now..."
<RefMankey>: Sabine's eyes widened. "Tradition or otherwise, this is a bold move." Too busy mulling over the terms of her slave-bindings, Sabine almost completely ignored the fuzzy creature on her shoulder. "Oh, you again. What's up?"
17:04 <DaiRef>: The venonat actually decided to go into a pokeball this time to be apart of the girl's team. It trusted her now and awaited a calm capture. "Hmmm?" She looked at her with a nod. "Well, that's why you're my bodyguard now... how should I address you for your codename?" She asked smiling. She took out her flip-phone and waited to jot a name down.
17:07 <RefMankey>: She made statements that, if provided to the same subject, sounded contradictory. "Welcome aboard, little one!" Why it came along was beyond her - all she saw was "willing Pokemon" and "Pokemon with a surprisingly tough spirit." It looks like the plan would settle out...as she intended?
17:09 <DaiRef>: *BOF*
17:10 <DaiRef>: Venonat clicked a pokeball of it's own and went into it.
17:10 <RefMankey>: Huh. Sabine loosely formed a moniker for herself. She thought about Butterball; it was too mopey for her tastes, and given the journey's length that extra weight wouldn't last. "Armstice." she said. Sabine soon pulled out her own phone and jotted "Yamamoto's" name down.
17:11 <DaiRef>: Venonat: [ Female ] 12/20 HP [ Burned ], 0/10 EXP { Tackle, Disable, Foresight }
17:17 <DaiRef>: "Very well, Armstice." She said before trotting off towards the south. "I guess we're off then...to Fuschia City..." She said with a map pulled up on her phone. She then flicked it away and smiled as the vulpix lifted it's head, eyes closed in a royal manner and walked alongside her trainer.
17:20 <RefMankey>: "Fuschia City." What a land Fuchsia was! So many fighters! Opportunities galore! So much circulated around the city! However, Sabine guessed she'd be "limited" to just one location. "I think we can both agree the Pokemon Center's a first when we get there," Armstice mentioned. How long would Yamamoto last out in these Wilds? The Trainer was curious.

14:39 <DaiRef>: Route 14 was a beautiful location. A path that stood on the sea bluff of the east, the winds soared through windmills, giving energy to many homes in the nearby cities. There were a few people walking about the route, making their way to their next destinations.

15:08 <RefMankey>: "W-woah!" Sabine jumped back at the woman's command! With enormous pressure, she spoke her three cents: "Woah, woah, woah! This your Venonat? About to burn the grass with it, too!"
15:10 <DaiRef>: The girl stood there with an elegant yet firm stance. "N-no.... it's not. I just happen to be training my pokemon against that wild pokemon. I have just started my journey... now if you'll excuse me-" She looked ready to attack at any moment.

15:19 <RefMankey>: "/Excuse/ you? How about you go fetch some water and pick up after yourself first!" Raggedy and concerned, this woman looked fit to be an arsonist. Pink for feminimity. Explained the Vulpix.
15:19 <RefMankey>: Sabine almost immediately *sent* Rabiyah from her ball!
15:19 <DaiRef>: *BOF*
15:20 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP {vs} Druddigon: 20/20 HP
15:20 <RefMankey>: "I give you one opportunity." Palms crushed into one another. "Don't squash it."

15:33 <RefMankey>: Sabine then looked down at herself. Large, yes. Fat, yes. Enough to block the entire route? Did she have a brain disorder? "Can't you just go around me if you so chose?" Rabiyah continued staring down the Vulpix, encouraging it to move. Daresay she *leered* at it.
15:33 <DaiRef>: Leer was used...
15:34 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 20/20 HP
15:36 <DaiRef>: The girl sighed and looked at Druddigon. "Very well...if this is how it resolves... so be it."
15:36 <DaiRef>: "Since you can't follow simple instruction..."
15:36 <DaiRef>: "Ember on Druddigon."
15:36 <DaiRef>: It charges...
15:36 <RefMankey>: "...you really aren't good at this thinking thing."
15:36 <RefMankey>: *Slide*
15:36 <DaiRef>: it...
15:37 <DaiRef>: still hit Druddigon.
15:37 <DaiRef>: Druddigon was burned!!
15:37 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 18/20 HP [ Burned ]
15:38 <RefMankey>: Sabine placed a finger on her chin, arm clasped around her mighty stick. "Oh, lottery luck. Fantastic." She had to rush the Vulpix down now. "Drudiggon, jump!"
15:38 <DaiRef>: It jumped!
15:38 <DaiRef>: Vulpix had a noble stance along with it's trainer.
15:39 <RefMankey>: She did not indicate an attack; its bodyweight would've easily crushed it. However, she had no idea how to judge this Vulpix's strength...
15:40 <RefMankey>: ...she let the Drudiggon land peacefully.
15:41 <DaiRef>: "You fail to presume any sort of strategy..." She looked into Sabine's eyes, locking into her as if she were reading her thoughts and breathing movements. "I don't think you know who you're dealing with."
15:43 <RefMankey>: Sabine met the woman's glance with a smirk. This woman was pretentious and snobby, but hilarious to mess with! "No, I don't." She kept her cards out of play, using a joke instead: "You have a name?"
15:46 <DaiRef>: "Yes...I cannot disclose my first name, but my last name is Yamamoto... my father is a researcher for professor Oak...and I was raised in Celadon." The venonat wasn't understanding much at the moment, it just stood there hurt from the attack.
15:46 <DaiRef>: She bowed, and the vulpix kneeled it's head down in nobility. "Nice to meet you."
15:50 <RefMankey>: "...uh...what?" This girl must've been tooling with Sabine's head. "Agent Yamamoto, Oak's personal aide?" Sabine gained a confused look. "Okay, don't you have better things to do than set fire to random bug Pokemon in Route 14?
15:51 <RefMankey>: She couldn't discern this as an introduction, a ceasefire, or /whatever/ this "Yamamoto" tried to do.
15:52 <DaiRef>: "Well...I have to be strong for my task. The professor told me that his grandson would aid me on my quest to place the jewels in each habitat of the three legends....but he wasn't able to come so...I need to be able to handle this journey myself..." She stated, now a little more serious.
15:57 <RefMankey>: "...you're trolling me." The Drudiggon only looked /more/ enranged since the Vulpix started spitting fire, but far too unfocused to make a strong *leer* on its own. Professor's granddaughter or not, Sabine did not approve of her methods. She felt sick and confused listening to Yamamoto explain herself. "I'll tell you what," she offered, "if you can move past
15:58 <RefMankey>: me, you'll leave scot-free. But you'll need to go, and quickly." She wouldn't accept that deal. She couldn't have possibly taken that...
16:01 <DaiRef>: "Unacceptable." She said looking at the girl's pokemon with an idea sparkling inside of her mind. "I demand that you accompany me on my journey since you have refused to stand down from your guard." A princess-like quality gleamed from her as she said so. The venonat stood there silently, looking up at Sabine.
16:06 <RefMankey>: "...accompany?" She had class, and likely held a budget that kept her attitude aloft. Feuds die hard, however, and Sabine wasn't quite ready to cede herself to the woman yet. "You have a lot of /persuading/ to do, Agent."
16:10 <DaiRef>: She then bowed and let out three stones from her bag...each one glowing with a certain intensity...the three jewels were colored differently, red, blue, and yellow. The energy pulsed inside of them brightly. "It's a symbol of my family line...we do this every 250 years...I am the heir next to abide this task." She said with a nod. "It's a symbol of peace and
16:11 <DaiRef>: harmony between us and pokemon." She said. "You see, pokemon and people need to live together, and this symbol creates a balance between us and the legends as well. If the legends are isolated from humans, how would they know to trust us if we don't respect them?" She explained in a quiet tone. The vulpix stood by her partner's side now, nuzzling her leg.
16:14 <RefMankey>: Sabine and Rabiyah intended the conversation to drag into /battle/ and /war/, not whatever this woman was offering. "...I think she's a con, Rabiyah," she whispered; the Dragon cracked its knuckles. Why so genuine? "Okay, ToC. Test your might." Pokemon, clearly. "One on one. Beat me, and I'll be your servant or whatever. If I win...I'll consider it."
16:15 <RefMankey>: Providing terms to the girl, Sabine hoped there could be some conclusion to Agent Yamamoto's charade. Surely they wouldn't burn everything in sight like a rabid Mongol to travel the Route...would they?
16:16 <DaiRef>: "Very well..." She stated.
16:16 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 18/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:17 <DaiRef>: "Vulpix... use ember!" She clapped out.
16:17 <DaiRef>: It charges....
16:17 <RefMankey>: "Jump!"
16:17 <DaiRef>: It...
16:17 <RefMankey>: "Scratch it!"
16:17 <DaiRef>: was hit straight on!! *BAM*
16:17 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 14/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:17 <DaiRef>: The druddigon dropped to the ground from the flame.
16:17 <RefMankey>: "...alright, shoot. Didn't work."
16:18 <DaiRef>: "...." The girl looked at the dragon pokemon, her hands were together in front of her legs as if she were to do another bow.
16:19 <DaiRef>: "Is that all?"
16:19 <RefMankey>: "...or that really didn't work." The Vulpix's immense pressure slammed Rabiyah to the ground, though she managed to re-collect herself. Investigate her thoughts, and one may find: /idiot/.
16:20 <RefMankey>: Sabine took the woman at least a tad more seriously now. "Scratch!" The Dragon knew all but two moves, and it didn't seem she was set to be intimidated any time soon.
16:20 <DaiRef>: It rushes...
16:20 <DaiRef>: "Ember again"
16:20 <DaiRef>: It charges...
16:20 <RefMankey>: "Special!"
16:20 <DaiRef>: *hits*
16:20 <RefMankey>: (tfw you realize special != breakthrough )
16:21 <DaiRef>: Druddigon tried to break through the flames...but it flew back from the flames yet again, unable to get close!
16:21 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 20/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 10/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:22 <RefMankey>: "...all the weak points. Has her down to a point." Drudiggon had at least two attacks left. They would not be wasted. Sabine...got her thoughts together.
16:24 <RefMankey>: "Rabiyah...slide around her."
16:24 <DaiRef>: It slides...
16:24 <DaiRef>: "Ember!"
16:24 <DaiRef>: It...
16:24 <RefMankey>: "SCRATCH!"
16:24 <DaiRef>: failed to hit it!
16:24 <DaiRef>: It rsuhes...
16:24 <DaiRef>: *smack*
16:24 <DaiRef>: *rushes
16:24 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 15/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 8/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:24 <DaiRef>: "Clever..." The girl noted. "Sliding around the opponent to confuse the accuracy count.
16:24 <DaiRef>: "
16:25 <DaiRef>: "This time I will hit though..."
16:25 <DaiRef>: "Now attack it!"
16:25 <DaiRef>: It rushes...
16:25 <RefMankey>: (right - no subtraction/division for the burn)
16:25 <RefMankey>: "Scratch back!"
16:25 <DaiRef>: it rushes...
16:25 <DaiRef>: the attacks collided!!
16:25 <DaiRef>: The druddigon smashed it's clawed hand on the ground...however...Vulpix was behind it!!
16:25 <DaiRef>: *BAM* It's tail whipped out to Druddigon's stomach.
16:26 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 15/20 HP [ -1 def ] {vs} Druddigon: 2/20 HP [ Burned ]
16:26 <RefMankey>: "You had me with the Ember," she noted. That's...all she used. There was no getting around it.
16:27 <DaiRef>: The girl remained silent, letting the battle do the talking. "..." The vulpix dashed back near it's trainer, ready to finish the large beast.
16:27 <RefMankey>: "...well, shit. I cede." Sabine instinctively *returned* the Drudiggon to its ball and groaned. She made an investment, and it flopped.
16:27 <DaiRef>: *BOF*
16:27 <DaiRef>: Vulpix: 15/20 HP
16:30 <RefMankey>: There wasn't a whole lot for the Trainer to give, truthfully. She had at most a hundred Pokedollars - Sabine counted out fifty-five - and opened them to the woman. "Take my offering." Vassal of a confusing rich girl - was this great or terrifying? "After all, Yamamoto, I am your /vassal/ now." She even managed a bow.
16:32 <DaiRef>: "No...keep it...you'll need it for this journey." She said with a smile. The vulpix looked up at Sabine and gave it a small friendly nick on her leg, rubbing it's head against it. The venonat, now confused at the entire situation, stayed away from the Vulpix and jumped up to Sabine's shoulder. Maybe it wanted to stay with her after all?
16:37 <RefMankey>: Sabine tilted her head. Without much in the first place, she pocketed the change and mentioned: "For someone that charged in blazing the grass, you have a very remorseful attitude." The whole journey needed answers; her notes hardly added up! "First thing: exactly where are these 'Legendary Habitats' you speak of? Anything I should know or prepare for?
16:47 <DaiRef>: "There are three locations that these pokemon appear... one is located just south of this location..most people know them as the seafoam islands... which was where I was heading to... next afterwards there's an abandoned powerplant where the other legend arrives a lot...and then...the other pokemon shows up in the Sevii Islands..."
16:47 <DaiRef>: "However...they travel a lot, so finding them will be hard...wen hich is why this is a journey." She said with a sigh.
16:48 <DaiRef>: "These pokemon are powerful...powerful enough to kill... so we have to be careful not to disturb their presence..." She stated clearly, trying to warn Sabine of the dangers lurking ahead of them.
16:52 <RefMankey>: Okay, things started getting fuzzy. Seafoam, a power plant, and the /Sevii Islands/ of all things, check. Something went on with fire, lightning, and ice. "...you mention finding the creatures, but then not disturbing their presence. Did I hear correctly?" She had to hear out her leader's plan; she was not going to die because of a sudden burst of
16:53 <RefMankey>: incompetence.
16:55 <DaiRef>: "Yes....so if we are to visit them...we have to be prepared to..." Her eyes now away from the lady, looking into the grass... "...face them to earn their respect." She had a serious tone in her voice. "Which is why I must grow my strength as a trainer..." She explained. "However, we can't back down now..."
<RefMankey>: Sabine's eyes widened. "Tradition or otherwise, this is a bold move." Too busy mulling over the terms of her slave-bindings, Sabine almost completely ignored the fuzzy creature on her shoulder. "Oh, you again. What's up?"
17:04 <DaiRef>: The venonat actually decided to go into a pokeball this time to be apart of the girl's team. It trusted her now and awaited a calm capture. "Hmmm?" She looked at her with a nod. "Well, that's why you're my bodyguard now... how should I address you for your codename?" She asked smiling. She took out her flip-phone and waited to jot a name down.
17:07 <RefMankey>: She made statements that, if provided to the same subject, sounded contradictory. "Welcome aboard, little one!" Why it came along was beyond her - all she saw was "willing Pokemon" and "Pokemon with a surprisingly tough spirit." It looks like the plan would settle out...as she intended?
17:09 <DaiRef>: *BOF*
17:10 <DaiRef>: Venonat clicked a pokeball of it's own and went into it.
17:10 <RefMankey>: Huh. Sabine loosely formed a moniker for herself. She thought about Butterball; it was too mopey for her tastes, and given the journey's length that extra weight wouldn't last. "Armstice." she said. Sabine soon pulled out her own phone and jotted "Yamamoto's" name down.
17:11 <DaiRef>: Venonat: [ Female ] 12/20 HP [ Burned ], 0/10 EXP { Tackle, Disable, Foresight }
17:17 <DaiRef>: "Very well, Armstice." She said before trotting off towards the south. "I guess we're off then...to Fuschia City..." She said with a map pulled up on her phone. She then flicked it away and smiled as the vulpix lifted it's head, eyes closed in a royal manner and walked alongside her trainer.
17:20 <RefMankey>: "Fuschia City." What a land Fuchsia was! So many fighters! Opportunities galore! So much circulated around the city! However, Sabine guessed she'd be "limited" to just one location. "I think we can both agree the Pokemon Center's a first when we get there," Armstice mentioned. How long would Yamamoto last out in these Wilds? The Trainer was curious.
