hewwo! :3
>>11301541
first cor everyone doing s good job
>>11301541
Don't know bro, can't exactly do the gyms.
>>11301497
"Sheesh, maybe you gotta back off for a bit, then try again!"
>>11301541
H-Hewwo
>>11301442
Yeah, makes sense. I think I'll see if they'll take me. If not, I'll go for police work. Can't exactly live without money here.
>>11301468
Yeah, got it.
>>11301510
( Are you okay? I am worried. There is not usually a reason for behavior such as this unless there is an underlying issue. Is there something wrong? )
>>11301541
um is there an ice one thats the coolest?
also can I ask why a trainer would be a scare of johto?
>>11301598
Is your trainer gay, a Pokephile, or a druggie?
>>11301590
(orders from the boss, can't help it)
>>11301598
johto is pretty strict
>>11301541
I'm fond of the relic badges design.
unovas badges are rather... lacking, on the hand.
>>11301571
"yeah, it's better to give some time"
"she said that somethings were stressing her"
>>11301645
(*on the other hand.)
Hewwo!
>>11301468
Whatever you say, Matt Murdock.
>>11301442
Oh well, I can't find anything neat here anyway.
Also, just as a bit of forewarning...
I left Arsene at my dorm
So don't be surprised if he bugs you while I'm gone
>>11301369
>Alright, last try
>Let's see if we can find a reference to that language in books on Sinnoh history pre-dating the Roman Empire
>>11301541
Mineral badge.
>>11301598
Much like Kanto, their laws and most citizens could be described as "retrograde".
>>11301623
I only know what a gay is mister, whats a pokephil or a druggie?
>>11301627
Strict? Like when my trainer said I couldnt have seconds 'cause we need to make the food last?
>>11301677
Um whats a retrogray Mr Computer man?
>>11301675
>"Akira I'm not finding anything."
>Yeah, last try too.
>For the sake of 100000000 rolls not fixing it Minato is gonna have to roll dubs.
>>11301680
Pokephile; someone who fucks Pokemon
Druggie; someone who does drugs
>>11301680
>>11301702
You will need to grow up a bit before knowing, but I can tell you only the latter is factually bad.
Retrograde means stuck in the past, outdated.
>>11301738
...damnit.
>>11301590
I'm sure you'll at least get accepted into the PD. Good luck.
>>11301675
Oh boy.
Yeah, uh, I'll be careful. See you later I'm gonna go.
Fuckin
Hide under my covers.
>>11301541
Badges aren't worth shit to me, so none of them.
Maybe here in Sinjoh we can make a gym system with badges worth a damn.
>>11301806
I've been wondering for a while, what exactly are you?
Are you a computer or just someone who's a computer expert or what?
>>11301738
My trainer said she doesnt like drugs to a man today but whats a fuck??
Is that like the other words my trainer called the mean boss before we moved and the man today?
Or is it something else??
>>11301806
So ummmm ones not a bad thing but the other is? OK mister! Thank!
>>11301812
I would go choose a hiding spot I didn't just mention on the Internet where Arsene can see it if I were you
>>11301734
>"Well fuck. Let's head back, try a university or something. I'll meet you at the entrance."
>Akira leans back against the door, fiddling with his phone while he waits.
>>11301812
Heading there right about now.
>'Well, I should see if the apartment is still in my name before I do any of this.'
>Keep walking through town.
>'I paid for three months. Should still be there.'
>Laugh quietly.
>>11301903
"Fuck" just means sex
You know
That thing involving your genitals and someone else's...
Hand/genitals/mouth/ass/whatever
>>11301950
>"Gotcha."
>It takes a few moments before Minato is back.
"Where else are you thinking specifically?"
>>11301982
Please stop
This is not something children should be hearing, in fact this isn't a place children should be at all
>>11301950
>>11301999
>Also Minato trips on the carpet and slams his head into the doorframe as he walks toward the door.
>He groans slightly mumbling about how he wishes he was dead right now.
>>11301869
Computer expert, between other things.
>>11301903
Exactly. Say no to drugs, kid.
>>11301999
"Dunno. Maybe we could drop by some museums or ruins or something."
>>11302019
>His eyes widen comically at the sight
"Minato? You alright?"
>>11301982
Ohhh! I see!
Umm
My trainer does that a lot im not sposed to know but I do
Other humans cant smell it but pokemon can
>>11302042
Theyre bad huh
>>11302107
>He stands up, wiping his hair back into place.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Anything specific in mind?"
>Minato squints down at the floor this time as he walks.
"You think we have enough time?"
Alright, my master plan of kidnapping nerds to Sinjoh is real.
Anyone have advice on managing nine pokemon without using balls?
>>11302232
being charming
and not being a douche
>>11302232
training, make sure they like you and don't want to run off on their own, and treats usually help.
>>11302232
A leash
>>11301806
"Those are some interesting names which makes sense 'cause that's one interesting pokemon."
>>11301982
Is it wise to be telling young ones these things?
>>11302232
Pet them.
Even if they're made of fire and spikes.
Pokeys love pets.
>>11302380
Kinky.
>>11302380
that's kinda hot
>>11302276
>>11302343
Sweet. I should say I only have three right now.
Sandslash, Pyroar and a Carracosta.
I was thinking about adding a Monferno, Gogoat, Goodra... Shedinja, mmm uh, fuck, Octillery? and a Ninetales.
...Is that weird?
>>11302380
Lood.
>>11302420
Have been.
>>11302204
"Test is on Friday, we should have enough time to stop by a place or two."
>Akira starts walking, eyeing the map on his phone as he does so
>It's likely that he'll walk into a wall or something at this rate
"Right, that was a bust. Where should we try next?"
>>11302467
not at all, I could probably field an entire police stations worth of teams with all of my bugs.
decent composition as well.
>>11302388
>>11302012
If the kid isn't prepared to handle adult discussion they shouldn't be on an adult site
But they're here so
Obviously they don't care
>>11302198
Lewd
Yeah, that's probably why they don't want to go to Johto
She'd get in trouble if other humans found out
>>11302503
>Minato waves a hand in front of Akira's face.
"I almost died to a wall, I'm not letting you step in front of a car."
>He squints, watching for cars.
"How about the museum or schools here?"
>>11302467
Good.
Keep it up.
If you ever see a Sneasel that looks even smugger than usual, pet it.
>>11302380
Woah. I think just reading that over my shoulder flustered my Incineroar, good job.
>>11302467
Can you... handle nine pokemon?
Also, I spent way too long in the gyms, dragons and bugs will probably suffer up here.
Right, I'm unpacked, I'm headed over.
>She puts her dex into her pocket and pulls on a different set of earmuffs, brown, with wolf ears on the headband
"Come on Forge, the others can keep the fire going in here."
>She crosses the snow, looking up to figure out where the Dark Tower is.
>She knocks on it's door, waiting to be let in.
>>11302198
>Sipp
Interesting.
>>11302388
>Still thinking
"Yes he is, and I was never any good at names."
"Lets get back home in the mean while."
>>11302541
Oh
Will my trainer get in trouble in Unova?
>>11302664
Humans dont do that a lot do they?
Also humans and pokemon cant have eggs can they?
>>11302537
Awesome. Gonna take on the world.
Pssssssst if you need a place to bail out to Sinjoh is great this time of year.
You can have Bugceus.
>>11302643
Will do catfriend.
>>11302663
I miiiiiiight. Just in case we need to fight off Kanto.
Also yeah, hold on.
>The door opens and Toby offers her some tea.
"Green tea to soothe your soul. Because I can't play jazz. What's up?"
>>11302618
"Good thing you're watching for cars then, isn't it?"
>He points down a street to their left, squinting at his phone
"There should be a museum down this way. Buuuut... It's going to have an entrance fee."
>>11302773
"Not anymore I'm not."
>Minato chuckles.
"Joking. Sure we can go. I'll pay barring it isn't a million bucks."
>>11302766
"You said to come over after I finished unpacking, I figured you had some stuff to tell me about this place"
>She takes the tea gratefully, her Incineroar following her inside
"Or I could help you unpack, whichever."
I'm incredibly bored
>>11302766
I'll consider it.
kanto is getting rather boring, nothing to do but sit in the woods lately.
>>11302846
>roll suck my dick jelly boy
>>11301666
"The waiting game, bro"
>>11302846
"If you need to go check on your parents, go, bro."
>>11302813
"I don't think we're prepared to sneak in anyway."
>Off to the museum they go.
"It's a cultural history museum. If they don't have anything at all I'm going to be disappointed."
>Pass by the naming services
>Metang is now registered as Cabracan
>>11302702
Not in Unova, no. But definitely if she were to do that in Kanto or Johto.
Also, no.
>>11302833
"Oh! Yeah, definitely!"
>His place is much more lived-in with a couch, a fridge hooked up to a generator and a big stash of different technical books stacked up in a corner to name a small amount of the junk.
"Mainly if you're hanging around the edges of the place you've GOTTA watch for Abomasnow. And if you're flying you're almost guaranteed to get attacked by birds. The Abomasnow have pretty nutritious tails but, uh, I'm trying to set up something where we can farm... Something that doesn't rely on magic... Y'know?"
>>11302879
Hella. If you do think you can pick up some seeds?
Potatos, whatever. I can reimburse you with some rad bugs or something.
>>11302935
"I'm sure it will, don't freak out."
>Minato pays for their tickets.
>Rolling for if he has anything that can help them left.
"Where should we start?"
>>11303006
"Huh, didn't see them when I landed, I remember you saying something about clearing them out, how often should we do that?"
>She sips her tea, standing still
"Not a fan of the idea of eating pokemon, so I agree, getting some farms going would probably be mandatory, maybe we can import livestock once we've got vegetable farms going?"
>>11302702
Nope no matter how much some people wish it humans cannot get a pokemon pregnant or vice versa
>>11302664
"Sure, also they're right we can smell it for days after the fact."
>>11303069
"I go for about twice a week. Pulling a fire type out is enough to get them to scatter. Sometimes they'll try to attack anyway."
>He gestures to the couch as he stands to grab a book.
"Take a seat, dude. Yeah, I've been reading through farming stuff about crop rotation and all the fun stuff. You might like these?"
>He hands her a few engineering, metallurgy and blacksmithing books.
"If you aren't into that I'll have to find us a blacksmith somewhere..."
>>11303027
"Let's... Go as far back as we can. C'mon."
>He leads them to the section dedicated to the oldest parts of Sinnoh history
>Most of what's here would be pieces of ancient pottery, but if the dice are nice they might find oracle bones or something similar
>>11303219
>Minato follows after, snapping pictures of things when they're out of the view of the cameras.
"Anything look right?"
>>11303006
sure.
I'll see what I can find that will grow well in that sort of climate.
>>11303179
"Alright, good, so Forge here should be enough."
>She pats the tiger's shoulder, signaling her to sit first, and following after, taking the books and flipping through them before handing them back.
"It's stuff I already know, any engineer worth their salt makes their own tools eventually, and I'm no different, it's probably the only reason this wrench didn't melt completely, gotta heat-treat it again though, bent the tip."
>She holds it up, and if you look closely, the top half is off by just a hair
"It's completely unusable like this."
>>11303283
Hella. Thanks friend.
Pssst if you know any blacksmiths we might need one.
>>11303310
>Toby snorts and chuckles, tossing the books back.
"Figures. Freakin' nerds."
>He gives a squint to the wrench.
"I guess? You might be able to use those fireplaces for a blacksmithing place buuuuut... I'll see if I've missed anything in the buildings. Steelceus might have one I didn't see. There are multiple floors."
>>11303148
"...how badly did I smell and for how long? In both occasions."
>>11303360
"A forge -no, not you- would be more appropriate in the fire tower, I'd think, and from what I saw, the steel tower is a clock tower, bunch of weights and gears everywhere. Still plenty of space though."
>She leans on her bipedal tiger, looking at the wrench.
"I'll check out the different floors first though... tomorrow. It's been a long trip, we all need rest."
>She downs the rest of her tea, offering the cup back.
"Thank you, I'll be going back to my Tower, we should probably examine all of them tomorrow, to see what we're working with, and then... I guess it's time to hit the books, figure out this weird magic shit and see how to work it so it doesn't explode in our faces."
>She gets up, pulling Forge with her.
"Anyways, goodnight."
>Back across the snow, to her own tower
>She has several mats laid out, one for each of her pokemon, and one for her
>She lays down next to the fire, and passes out
>>11303360
anytime.
I've heard of one, but I don't think he would leave his current location.
>>11303426
>He takes the cup, setting it down.
"Got you. I have some notes I need to transfer into books buuuut... I'll try to do it today."
>He waves, grabbing some paper and taking notes down.
"G'night."
>>11303438
Where's he at? I'm gonna nicely ask him to come.
Or kidnap him.
If he has giant swords I'm joking about the kidnapping.
Or if he goes here.
>>11303395
"With Rey it wasn't too strong and only lasted a few days but you still smell pretty ripe of me right now which would only be that strong if it were that time of the month so keep dem bois away from me unless you want an extra Eevee on your hands"
>>11303266
>The pottery doesn't help with their language issues at all, but Minato gets some high quality images of pottery shards that seem to elaborate more on the story seen in the ruins
"Not really. It's interesting, but not what we're here for. Maybe there's tablets over here..."
>He walks off in a different direction, towards some of the more recent works
>Security doesn't give them a second glance, seeing as they look like students.
>>11303538
>Minato follows after him, taking more pictures when the blind spots are open.
"I think we found some...? Do those look right?"
>>11303564
"Uh..."
>He flips through the images from the ruins on his phone.
"Yeah, looks like it. Kinda hard to see the text on these tablets but..."
>Akira leans as close in as the glass of the display will allow
"We need a Rosette Stone sorta thing. Something with both the old language and a more modern one."
>They're only finding one of those on dubs.
"Otherwise... We try to find the similarities and piece it together slowly."
>>11303643
>Nope.
>Minato shrugs, taking a few pictures.
"Guess they don't have that here. Maaaaaaaybe... One of the bigger cities?"
>>11303495
orre, near pyrite, last time I checked.
haven't had a chance to visit orre and scout out the area, but word is he has his own castle.
a metal one.
he hasn't posted here in a while, but it would be safe to assume he does.
>>11303499
"Well damn. Have to tell Frankie, I forgot which gender was Cinnamon."
>Rolling last digit posts + 15 minutes to home base
>>11303664
"What's the biggest, most famous museum you can think of in Sinnoh?"
>He takes one last look around the ancient Sinnoh section for anything useful
>>11303667
What I'm hearing is "try to recruit this guy and let him do his thing in Sinjoh." Got it.
>Tobi doesn't know shit about Orre so it's time for him to get lost there.
>Rolling for travel time to Orre. 30 min + last number.
Hello, /par/.
How's everybody doing today, and do you have any advice for making work more interesting?
>>11303692
"Uhh... The Eterna Historical Museum?"
>He looks up from google maps, giving a shrug.
"Sounds like our best bet."
>>11303723
Make it into a game? If you don't like your job you should look for something you think is more interesting.
Just, honestly.
>>11303723
Quit it. Find something you like more.
I quit my day job because it was boring as hell, I do mechanic work on the side.
>>11303723
I've gotta echo the other two dudes. You should find something more interesting.
I really hate cleaning and organizing things so now I live on my own in Sinjoh!
>>11303701
...that's not what I said.
infact I'm pretty sure I said the opposite.
please try not to get gutted by some pyritian.
or commit a felony.
>>11303742
I could do that, see what little details I can pick up when I'm not dreaming up new ways to torment my roommate with strange and interesting food.
Aha! New game: Try to catch people doing gross things on camera!
>>11303747
The think is, I'm security. Boring is good, and the job comes with free room and board. I just need to keep sharp and not give into the urge to fuck around online instead of patrolling and watching cameras.
>>11303792
Security? For what?
>>11303742
"Alright, I guess we're hiking to Eterna."
>As he zooms in on Google Maps he's hit with a sudden realization
".... Hey Minato? You got a Pokemon with Surf, by any chance?"
>>11303804
Offshore installation. I'm one of the few people who's here 24/7.
Hmm. Come to think about it, I haven't gone ashore in a long time... that might explain a few things, not taking a day off.
>>11303792
Sounds weird.
>>11303822
"Nooooooope? Are we stuck?"
>He squints over at Akira
>Meanwhile, a speedboat arrives at the dock of the former oil rig
>>11303845
Is that the place that's under investigation for fucking around with Aether or whatever?
...Why does it need security?
>>11303786
Can't hear you over all this sand. Holy hell Orre is horrible already.
>He steps out of Gateon.
>A giant steel castle can't be that hard to find, right?
>Rolling.
>>11303860
"...Yes. You know the river on Route 218? The one that feeds Lake Verity? It uh..."
>Akira clears his throat and gives a sheepish smile
"It doesn't have a crossing."
>>11303884
this is text.
and yes, it's not exactly the most pleasant place.
>>11303890
>Minato sighs, wondering where he can kill himself.
"We don't have cash for a boat, we don't have any way to bail out... Think we can beg someone?"
>>11303867
Mostly making sure nobody comes in and smashes up the place, really.
The whole accidentally-pissing-off-Aether has me a bit jumpy, but I'm not going to get in the way of any investigations.
>>11303915
If I'm going to be honest Alola seems like a weird place... You might get Aether hitmen on you or offered a bunch of cash to go to a weird cave where no one shows up.
If you want to leave I'm sure I could set you up with a friend or something. Maybe Sinnoh PD?
>>11303909
"Oh yeah. Definitely. I got this."
>He ruffles Minato's hair with a heart laugh
"Watch this, I'm about to pull off the best self rescue plan ever."
>>11303935
Halp
>>11303906
What? Huh? I don't have any fucking ears.
It's horrible I have sand where sand doesn't go.
I think I found it. The castle where the fabled blacksmith of old lies.
>Toby pockets his phone, walking around the castle before he knocks on the door/portcullis and runs off out of sight.
YOULL NEVER SEE IT COMIIIIIN
>>11303865
>Sylvie hops out of the boat and stretches
"Man I shouldn't have said anything about little Eevees now I can't stop thinking about 'em. I hate when this comes around."
YOU'LL SEE THAT MY MIND IS TOO FAST FOR YOUR EYES
YOURE DONE IIIIIN
>>11303935
I appreciate the offer, but I'm good here for now.
I just need to get some fresh air.
>>11303958
this is why you should have turned down your music when your parents told you to.
sand goes where sand wants to go, you've probably learned this already.
be polite and don't get the drawbridge or whatever dropped on you.
>>11303949
Whaaaaaaaaaaat?
>>11304038
Alright, just. Be careful.
That guy that owns it feels off.
>>11304055
>ROLL TO STEAL PHONE
>>11303949
"I really hope it works."
>Minato sighs and heads over to the soda machines to check if there's any money in the coin return slot.
>>11304009
>Taking the elevator to the living quarters
"Do you have a plan for these days?"
>>11303958
>A wak peeks over the top of the walls
...You know you leave tracks in sand, right?
>>11304040
I'll try not to. I haven't died y
>>11304126
>Toby flicks his phone off, pocketing it.
"Yeah, I've been in snow before. Sand is like..."
>He squints, kicking some.
"Hot snow. You wanna come to my cool club?"
>>11304089
"I've tried either staying away from male pokemon or spending time with ones that won't give me an egg and the only pokemon on board that will cause an issue are Frankie's I think so just gotta keep myself composed or avoid em."
>>11304055
You see...
Minato and I don't have Pokemon with Surf...
So we're kinda stuck in Canalave.
We were hoping that either your Blaziken was super weird and knew Surf or that you'd lend us train money
>>11304079
"If it doesn't I vote we either steal a boat or steal a pair of river floaties and chill all the way to Lake Verity."
>Akira wanders around, hoping to find spare change lying on the ground
>>11304063
>Tatsuya pulls his phone away.
"Quit it."
>>11304178
Yeah, uh, I can lend you some cash give me like twenty...
>Tatsuya grabs his shit and heads to the train.
>Last number + 10 for getting there?
>>11304089
>>11304176
>Spark lion status: lying by the elevator doors, looking intently at the floor.
>>11304178
"Maybe. I hate getting wet unless it's like... A shower."
>Minato pockets a few ten yen coins.
"I think we're doomed."
>>11304176
"Not like Frankie's pokemon would knowing them."
"Still, I can put your ball somewhere accessible, the employees also have their pokemon."
>>11304221
"Hey, searching for something?"
>>11304219
>A Feraligatr follows Tatsuya onto the train.
>Is that normal?
>It pushes through the people and makes a grab for him,.
>>11304158
Hot snow that doesn't stick together very well.
I don't know, I have a pretty nice setup here, and I would need a second opinion on it anyways. Do tell me about it though.
Also who are you, why are you here, all that usual questioning of oddly dressed people showing up at your doorstep out of nowhere.
>>11304244
"I know they wouldn't but it's also my own urges to worry about."
>>11304221
>Sylvie is a bit uneasy at the presence of the zapcat
"O-oh hey Valjean, whatcha doing?"
>>11304219
Thank you Tats-chan~
Remind me to pay you back
>>11304233
"If you were a girl I would've made a dirty joke there."
>Akira's collected maybe 50 yen by this point
"Nah, we're fine. Tats-chan is gonna lend us train money."
>>11304244
>Sparklion looks up.
"Someone nin'nt wash'th their han's, an' someone else was on a loooooon', thirry min smo' mreak. erry thoo 'ours."
>>11304267
>Sniff sniff.
"Watching the employees. I take it you and Stibs enjoyed your outing?"
>>11304307
No pr
>>11304258
>You get his phone hand.
"Uh, I don't like being touched. Stop."
>>11304307
"No, I just can't-"
>Minato stops his sentence to drop about 30 yen in Akira's hand before he flops in a bench.
"Yeah, so we're just waiting?"
>>11304328
>Forgot to mention it being level 40.
>The Feraligatr doesn't react much, pulling Tatsuya toward the door.
>Rolling to see if gatr can pry it open without much effort.
>>11304267
"Yes, but, please, think of their issues as well."
>>11304312
"Someone going in long bathroom breaks, I assume?"
>>11304261
"Because I'm aaaaaawesome. But seriously."
>He squints away, shrugging.
"Toby, because I figured I could ask you to leave everything behind to come live with a stranger you barely know in a snow filled hellhole."
>He squints, realizing how stupid this sounds.
"Y'know. King Nothing style."
>>11304328
Pr? Wow, going the extra mile with those abbreviations.
I'd just say probs.
Gotta yoink that one to up my low effort texting game.
>>11304341
"Just can't what?"
>He thumbs through the coins and makes an exaggerated whistle
"Wow, we can afford gum with this fortune. Maybe. Only cheap shit gum though."
>>11304359
>Can he reach his pokeballs?
>If so he tosses out his Blaziken.
"Apollo."

>The Gatr lets go at the punch and the doors to the train swing open.
>Welcome to Canalave!
>>11304389
"Uh, don't like water on me. It's stupid, don't worry."
>Minato forces a laugh.
"Where is heeeeeee?"
>>11304376
>Valjean: go grab Frankie's dex.
>tappatappatappa
"On his phone, probably looking at things I've had enough of for one lifetime. At least he was quick about it."
>>11304452
"God I hate this place."
>Tatsuya steps off the train before it can follow him.
>>11304389
>>11304465
"Hey, I survived."
>>11304376
"Yes of course."
>>11304312
"Yeah the training went well for the beldum, now a metang and they've got a name now."
>>11304383
Sure you are.
Hmm, I don't know, I'm pretty used to my sand filled hellhole. I've had bad experiences with snow too.
And I'm already royalty here, so, yeah.
>>11304465
"Well.... If you ever wanna talk about it."
>Blue haired Jesus gets a hair ruffle from Akira
"He's right there."
>>11304482
"Tats-chan~! Our hero~! Did the gropers get you?"
>>11304482
>Minato waves, standing from the bench.
"Heya Tats~san."
>>11304577
"Maybe."
>He gives Akira a poke to the chest.
"You suck at ruffling hair, holy shit."
>>11304469
>Chuckling
"Heh, issues and urges all around."
>Ruffle that mane
>>11304547
"Good, good."
>>11304562
"Glad to know you agree."
>He shrugs stepping away from the castle.
"Well, you didn't murder me at least. Sorry for bugging you."
>>11304577
"If they suddenly turned into Johto water starters then no."
>>11304605
>Tatsuya waves back.
"You guys ready to go?"
>>11304646
>Punt Rokakaka at
>>11304547
"Excellent, excellent. What name has he taken?"
>>11304620
>Mane is ruffled. Catte is happy.
>tappatappatappa
"Ahh... that never gets old. At least I can exercise some self-control, hehehe."
>>11304659
>Roll to steal.
>>11304662
"I believe Stibium gave him the name Cabracan."
>>11304646
"Groping is not exclusive to humans, Tats-chan. What happened?"
>>11304605
>Akira responds with a chuckle, swatting away the hand
"I don't make a habit of it. C'mon, Tats-chan has rescued us."
>>11304631
Oh, darn. Forgot to do that.
It's fine, don't get many visitors.
So, what did you want me for anyways?
>>11304706
"Hmm. There's a reference I can't quite get there... but I still look forward to seeing Cabracan's new evolution."
>Catte yawn.
"I think I need a nap..."
>>11304646
"As I ever am."
>>11304745
>Minato shrugs.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm ready when you are."
>>11304659
>>11304668
"Wh?"
>>11304745
"Uh, it grabbed my arm. It was weird. Don't ask me."
>>11304790
"I'm calling my first album Tatsuya's Exodus."
>Tatsuya buys them their tickets and steps on to the train.
"Come on."
>>11304750
"Well I needed to hire a super-awesome-mega-cool blacksmith for my spooky death cult I was starting."
>Toby gives a shrug.
"You know any others you can suggest?"
>>11304806
"Well hey, at least it was just your arm."
>As always, the window seat is his seat of choice
"How do you want us to pay you back, Tats-chan?"
>>11304790
"I told you, Minato. Gropers. Beware the gropers."
>>11304662
>Additional mane ruffling
"All the pats you need"
>>11304776
"You are not the only one in need of a rest."
"Tomorrow I will have to go again to Hau'oli, with the permits in place I can go and attempt to seek buyers, expand the robotics business"
>>11304806
"Thanks Tatsuya."
>>11304881
"I will. Just don't make us owe him sex, please."
>Minato lets Thanatos out and nods off to sleep.
>>11304856
..I see. Not much into death cults, to be honest.
Have you considered learning the trade youself?
It's not particularaly difficult.
>>11304881
>Tatsuya looks around to make sure nothing too off is in the train.
"How about you guys just make sure you have enough to get to and back next time?"
>>11304908
"...Or be my maid for a day."
>Tatsuya shrugs.
"Whichever."
>>11304912
>Toby shrugs again.
"Maybe, but like, I don't wanna come off as a tooly everyman character, y'know?"
"Heck, I haven't even figured out most of my character!"
>>11304908
"I'm not going to. Becaaaaaause that would be gay. Very gay. Horrendously homosexual, even."
>>11304935
"Yeeeeah, I don't think I can do number one. Maid it is."
>He drums his fingers on his chin, grinning deviously
"Which day and do you want Arsene to come, too?"
>>11304982
>Tatsuya looks away, pulling his lighter out to flip it open and closed.
"How about tomorrow...? Just get it done with?"
>The lighter stays closed as he rubs his thumb over the top.
"Uh, if he wants to, I guess."
>>11305039
"Tomorrow's fine, I can just get notes from someone else."
>Akira leans backs in his seat, resting his arms behind his head and crossing one leg over the other.
"But really, thanks."
>>11305115
"No problem, Akira."
>The train pulls in and Tatsuya stands up.
"Well, uh, I'm going to go tidy up before you find something weird."
>Tatsuya hands Akira 7000P.
"Don't spend it all in one place. That's like half my check for this week."
>He heads off to his room, giving Akira a wave.
>>11305196
"See ya, Tats-chan."
>He waves bye, and gets to the issue of returning Minato to his room
>Can he pick Minato up?
>Well, if not... I suppose Thanatos carries him.
i love bugs
>>11302923
(Fell alseep)
Yeah maybe i should visit my family a little it might be worrying them
>Natani wakes up with the morning sun, gently nudging her team awake
"Come on guys, we have shit to do, new facility to check out, tools to set up, ideas to manifest."
>She pulls on the warmest clothes she has, throwing some more wood into the fireplace
"Colder than Sinnoh, what the fuck"
>The engineer sets a pot of coffee over the fire, looking up at the weights and gears of the tower, the dust of ages settled onto them
"There's no clock on the outside, what are you for?..."
Hey par what Pokemon is the best at cuddling?
>>11307630
A SNORLAX WOULD SUIT YOU AS THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO FINALLY MEET SOMETHING LARGER THAN THEMSELVES
>>11307661
Now that was funny.
>>11306900
>A few hours later, she's explored every floor, and figured out the purpose of the gears and weights
>It's a giant bell tower, the bell itself situated on the top floor, the chimney having been built around it like a cage of sorts, the larger tube breaking off into six smaller ones
>Natani discovers that it's designed to go off on a timer, only needing reset once a week
>Oddly, the bell is indoors, the sound SHOULD bounce around the walls and deafen anyone unfortunate enough to be inside
"Whoever built this was an idiot that didn't understand sound waves"
>She leaves the many chains and gears alone, going back down the stairs to the bottom floor
"Alright guys, let's check out the fire tower, if we're lucky, there's a forge waiting for us."
>Clear away trash.
>>11308270
>As it turns out, there IS a forge in the Fire Tower
>In fact, the whole thing is a blacksmith's wet dream, with many tools still on the racks, abit in poor condition
>Anvils of several sizes rest on platforms, able to be moved to a central location next to the forge
>There's metal stock of questionable quality on the second floor, and on the third, ancient finished products, swords, shields, armor, farming equipment...
>The years haven't been kind to them, but restoration is possible
>The fourth and fifth floors are more domestic, containing a bedroom and bathroom and kitchen and such, no modern amenities, of course, but lavish for what must have been centuries ago
>Natani grins as she comes back down the stairs, giddy as she inspects the forge itself, the large oven able to hold metals of many sizes
>The runes that cover the exterior of the forge have worn at the edges, no longer crisp clean lines
>The metal walls have rusted, and there's evidence that bricks that we're lining the interior have fallen to dust
"Lotta work to do, but we can totally use this! Bellow, help me clear out the dust, Forge, our oven bricks are in the bag next to the fireplace, go grab them for me. Smith, follow her and get our 1080 stocksheets, we might have to replace some stuff in here. Arc, start zapping the rust off some of this stuff."
>Her Pokemon spread out, doing their tasks
>Rolling for time until the Fire Tower is usable again, last two numbers

Castelia PD is a go, sort of.
They're a bit on edge because of my lack of records, but hey, that means I've officially committed no crime.
In some... roundabout way, I guess.
I've got to go through a bunch of classes and courses before I can actually do all of the police shit, though.
It's a pain, but it's better than my old job.
Left that behind completely.
Does anyone have advice for making sacrifices to dead gods?
Asking for a friend.

>There's probably the sounds of an exasperated engineer coming from the fire tower
>A very loud exasperated engineer
"EVERYTHING IS RUSTED TO FUCKING SHIT, UUUUUUUGH"

Holy crap
So how will we deal with that?
Hey PAR, normal length maid uniform or extra short?
>>11311165
Mythology major here, which one?
>>11311124
Better than no job at all, plus Unova really needs good and active cops.
>>11311165
Virgins?
>>11311303
Short.
>Breathe in
>Breathe out
>You can still secure an order
>Roll #2
>>11311303
EXTRA TH- short.
>>11311124
Welcome to the Castelia PD, have fun being fucking miserable and getting jack shit done.
You get one drink on me.
>>11311303
Short.
>>11311303
Any of them. Giratina.

Hmmmmm.

>Wild Masked douche appeared.

>Toby drops a leatherbound book somewhere it won't fuck everything up.

Niiiiiiice.
Thanks, Anon.
>>11311464
Depends, how much do you like working for corrupt officials?
>>11311606
THIS GIRATINA FELLOW SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS A GOOD THING GOING
>>11311639
No problem.
Hey, have you seen anything like this up in Sinjoh?
>Uploaded CelesticRuinsFresco.jpg and CelesticRuinsLanuage.jpg
>>11311650
At lest it beats working the corner.
That and I don't think the IP would take me, I've got a hole in my memory and I don't really want to know what's in it.
>>11311704
(fuk)

He's a god. If he didn't have a good thing going I'd be pretty disappointed desu

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AT LEAST IF HE DOESNT YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT WILL NEVER MATCH YOUR FATHERS
>>11311426
Thanks, I guess.
Not exactly a warm welcome, but it's a welcome nonetheless.
Are you also a part of the CPD?
>>11311704
No idea what the hell that's supposed to be.
>>11311718
Word of advice? Don't stick your nose in the higher ups business.
They notice you snooping and your out in a fucking heartbeat.
>>11311760
Yep. Got transferred from the Nimbasa PD.
Same advice I gave here >>11311770 applies.
>>11311788
I'll keep that in mind.
Working under corrupt officials isn't bad, though.
You can still do your job, and make sure everyone's safe.
And uh, maybe not deal with the big problems.
Last time I did that, didn't turn out well for anyone.
>>11311704
Kinda looks like its based on the sigils around here? Gimme a sec.
>Uploaded sigilbook1.png, sigilbook2.png
They all correspond to effects so it might like... Be based on what they mean?
can we nuke sinjoh yet
>>11311841
Hey, do you live in Sinjoh?
I heard that that pillar town is one of the only places with uranium that isn't fuckin claimed by Almia.
You gonna make bank off that?
>>11311760
They're from some ruins I've been studying.
>>11311841
Got any translations for the sigils?
I can't find any sources to translate this language.
>>11311718
If you think that is bad, inagine getting dismissed from the IP because of multiple holes in the memory obtained in service.
>>11311858
nah
>>11311881
(I'm gonna be honest I liked when we didn't have nukes being thrown around like candy. I'll probably have Toby dig it all up and destroy it though.)
Probably not.
>>11311915
>Uploaded translationguide[kinda].png
>It only has about 20% of the sigils translated, several have question marks next to them.
It's kinda like japanese and latin fucked? Every symbol means something but if you put them together they do something else?

(I feel u senpai.)
Rip. You got any water there?

Right, I'll work on translating these wall etchings.

You either touch them or pass in front of them.
I'll see if we have anything that looks like those etchings buuuuut I dunno.
>Toby is lazy, he's probably gonna need dubs.
