/VPMD/- Who Will be Our King Now? Edition
>>31724035
Prev thread: >>31712689
Story so far: You are Ron, a human turned Tepig. After meeting and befriending an Oshawott, you formed a group and set off on a quest to save Osha's village. The forest to the north, the village's source of food and connection to the wider world, is dying and shriveling up for unknown reasons. Your only clue is to find the 'King of the Forest,' though exact details on that are scarce. While traveling, you encountered and befriended an Oddish and added him to the team.
After being separated from your team, and saving Oddish from the clutches of some spiders, you finally managed to reunite with Oshawott who was trapped, seen as treasure by a greedy Kingler. With some clever distraction, you managed to kill (and eat) the crab. With the path back the way you came inaccessible, you followed the only path available, down a short waterfall into a nearby lake.
Rules: Rules: Periodically I'll ask for input on what you, Ron (and ONLY Ron), should do with # posts. Only post AFTER the post asks for it will count. Up to 5 mins after the ask post, you can override the get with dubs. Trips can overide dubs, etc. etc. Only the first of each type of get will be accepted.
Keep note that actions can only be performed within the realm of plausibility. You can't pull out items you don't have, you can't use moves you don't know, you can't willingly try to kill yourself etc. etc.

>*SPLSH*
>>31724066
>Oshawott and Oddish hop ashore on the nearest bit of land, and drag you, in horrible screaming pain, ashore. You would be very happy if you never had to interact with water ever again.
>>31724086
>It looks like you've landed in a small lake, dotted only by 3 tiny dots of land. A stone bridge connects your island and the middle one. Looks like the middle island also contains a pokemon.
Slowking: ...
...
Hello!...
Oshawott: H-hello there! Mr...?
Slowking: ...I am Slowking... the King of the Forest...
Oshawott: !!!
>Well shit then, what do? 6 to start tonight?hopefully people are here
>>31724126
Continue to scream until Oshawott comforts us.
>>31724126
Let's start out simple and just talk first
>>31724126
Say hello
>>31724126
Tell him he has a nice crownHow are you enjoying the weather, OP?
>>31724166
Oddish: I like your hat!
Slowking: ...It is not a hat... but thank you...
Oshawott: Oddish, shush a minute. Mr. Slowking, you said you were the King of the Forest? Nidoking told us that he was.
Slowking. Nidoking is...
a little bitch...
I am the true king...
Oshawott: O-oh. Can you help us revive the forest then?
Slowking: No.
>7 next
>>31724240
Walk up and try to take that gear from under his feet.
>>31724240
Tell him to stop being a little bitch like Nidoking is and do what needs to be done
>>31724198
I got to work from home and not wear pants all day (save for having to go out and shovel for a bit) so pretty nice overall.better than getting yelled at by my boss for whatever reason he decides to come up with
>>31724240
Make him depressed by telling him the realities of what will happen if he doesn't fix the forest. (Make sure to focus on what will happen to him, especially)
>too tired to sleep
>tfw I get to see /vpmd/ happen for once
Sometimes life is worthwhile in the least.
I'll simply reroll for >>31724289
>>31724289
Attempt #2
>>31724240
Hey, i'm slightly early today!
Ask him if some of our gold would change that?
>>31724289
This. Also, tell him you like his hat again.
>>31724289
Rollan
>>31724289
>>31724347
>You step forward and tell Slowking what will happen to the forest if he doesn't help. The trees and plants will wither, there will be no food for him to eat. Him and the other pokemon will die.
Slowking: ...I am well aware...
...what will happen...
...I am the one who set it in motion, after all...
Osha: You did??
Slowking: ...The pokemon of this forest...
... have become selfish and rude...
...corrupt and inconsiderate...
...Some bugs came and took my family away...
...A rude monkey snatched a berry from my hand...
...just as I was about to eat it....
...This forest and its pokemon will die...
...and I shall rebuild it as a better place...
Oddish: >:| I take back what I said about your hat!
>Dang, Oddish mad, yo. What do next? 8 decides.
Hey in the meantime, does anyone have the screencap of part 5. It's the only one I'm missing. That was the part with Treecko and Xatu
>>31724423
throw your gear at him like a destructo disk
>>31724423
Offer him a berry since his was stolen. Maybe that and offering to avenge his family will make him feel better. :)Are we ever going to give oddish a nickname?
>>31724423
Steal gear
>>31724469
re for this
>>31724469
this
>>31724469
>spoiler
Make a suggestion!Also it'd be nice if he were taught that TM we got last part
>>31724500
His nickname will be Buddy
>>31724500
how about lettuce or cabbage
>>31724469
>>31724498
>You pull an Oran berry from your bag and offer it to Slowking.
>"We're sorry all that happened to you! We can give you a berry, and we can go avenge your family if you want! We're good at killing bad pokemon now... I mean, sometimes!"
>Slowking shakes his head... slowly.
Slowking: A berry does not fix that monkey's manners...
...And there's many more where he came from...
...Your apologies will not return my family from those Beedrills' stomachs...
...This forest will die...
...And if I have to keep you here to ensure that happens...
...I will...
>Slowking doesn't seem willing to negotiate here. 9 decides next action
>>31724584
Tell him that variety in life and death and goodness and badness is part of what makes this world beautiful.
>>31724584
challenge him to a contest of his choice for the safety of the forest
>>31724584
Teach oddish/lettuce energy ball and blast SlowKing to kingdom come
>>31724584
Worst comes to worst, we should teach oddish energy ball here
>>31724619
Slowking: ...If you want to save this forsaken forest...
...then fight me...
>>31724708
Slowking:...Bitch...
>>31724720
He looks kind of strong
>>31724720
Oshawott: If that's what we need to do, then fine! We'll take you down! Ron's killed people waaaay better than you!
>Oshawott rushes forward across the bridge
>>31724720Calling me the bitch when he's out here, hiding his ass, trying to kill everything. I'm going to tear this guy a new one
>>31724761
>*SPLSH*
Seaking:FUCK YEAH
>>31724778
>Oshawott is thrown to the waters as Seaking disappears back down below. Osha curses, holding his side, trying to swim away.
>Uh oh, not good! 0 next action!D-d-d-double boss battle GOOOOO
>>31724803
Teach the plant leaf ball
>>31724803
1. Teach Oddish Energy Ball with the TM
2. Have oddish go in the water to help Oshawott since he's immune to water damage while we go to tackle Seaking
>>31724803
Figure out how to teach oddish energy ball
>>31724828
this
>>31724500
>>31724778
Let's nickname him Chloro.
>>31724830
>>31724833
Do we get both of these?
>>31724830
Oddish use sleep powder on slowking. slowking is so slow that sleep powder is making it fall asleep slowly
>>31724842
I think it's slow enough tonight that I'll count both.
>>31724839
>>31724513
>>31724514
I'll take all the nicknames suggested tonight and do a poll at the end of this part, sound good?
>>31724882
Okey dokey
>>31724882
I'm ok with the poll
>>31724830
>>31724833
>First thing's first, your plant buddy needs an actual Grass type move, especially since we're up some tough looking water types.
>You also instruct him to go help Osha out of the water, since he can swim in it without feeling like he's dying a thousand deaths every second he's touching it.
>>31724967
>Oddish hops into the lake after Osha while you take a step onto the bridge, bracing yourself, ready to tackle this son of a bitch fish when he jumps for you.
>>31724985
Seaking: SUCK MY DIIIIIICK
>>31724996
>1 next
>>31725017
Tell him to present it.
>>31724996
oblige him
>>31725017
Now wait a minute, you think. Perhaps we've been too rash in rejecting Slowking's idea out of hand. After all, he's lived in this forest far longer than we have and presumably knows it better than we do. Maybe we should hear him and Seaking out before resorting to violence.
>>31724996wow, rude!
Taunt him out of the water, and then keep taunting it so Osha and Oddish can attack it while it's distracted
>>31725025
Rolling for this
>>31725017
defense curl up in fear and just wait for Oddish and oshawott to take care of it.
>>31725024
Reroll for RESPECTFUL DISCUSSION.
>>31725017
Suck
>>31725017
Challenge seaking to a dick measuring contestif you can actually see his dick, try and bite it off
>>31725018
Roll
>>31725061
Nice
>>31725021
dubs to do this and bite it off
>>31725025
Reroll
>>31725021
This is a very Ron thing to do
>>31724996
Defense curl real quick to raise defense before attacking slowking.
>>31724996
Do it
>>31725160
Rerolling
>>31725021
>You would oblige him, but he's all the way off in the water. "Hey you glorified goldfish! You wanna get your dick sucked? Get your ass over here and I'll suck that thing right off you!"
>Seaking merely laughs at you and taunts you further.
>Oshawott uses water gun to propel himself and Oddish back to shore
Osha: Ron! Come back here and we'll team up on them! Seaking can't get us all if we're all watching each other's backs
>>31725170
Don't bother, you're way past the five-minute cutoff.
>>31725178
Digits?
>>31725178
Slowking: ...Is that so...?
>Slowking spins the gear beneath himself and the stone bridges respond as he does so, spinning around the center island and separating you from your friends.
Slowking: Can't have you taking out my bodyguard now. A king needs his court.
Seaking: I'M KING. I'M KING!
Slowking: Shush, we'll continue that argument later.
>2 next
>>31725178
Nose dive into the water like a madman.
>>31725222
well then...
>>31725222
oh no
>>31725222
The correct number, and trips, AND it's a valid action... but it was for the prior post. Does that count?
>>31725211
Steal his crow and become the new king
>>31725222
that went well
>>31725222
This is gonna hurt.
>>31725211
tackle the gear to turn it
>>31725222
>>31725241
dunno. I'd like it not to? Especially since the situation changed since the post that anon replied to... but I guess the rules do say first after the ask post. Still dunno! Guess I'll go with it since most people are reacting now and not posting actions!
>>31725222
Quads will take too long to wait. We are screwed unless op works around this
>>31725222
>You decide to dive into the water... for some reason... It hurts like all hell and you're not near anywhere you could be helpful anymore...?
???
>3 next?
>>31725278
I think it's your call. And there's a valid reason *not* to count it, somewhat cheap as it is.
So I'll say:
You decide to taunt Seaking by saying that he's not the real king, hoping to goad him into attacking Slowking.
>>31725324
Taunt them from a distance, try to get slowking to follow you into the water.
>>31725334reaaaaaally wish that had been a get
>>31725324
Climb on shore and spin the gear as hard as you can
>>31725324
Climb back to land, realize that was a terrible idea, then do >>31725334.
>>31725334
Rerolling for this
>>31725372
roll
and call Seaking a Seasidekick
>>31725334
Taunt Sea king into jumping to the water. As soon as he jumps in, stab him with the gear we have.
>>31725372
Reroll.
>>31725324
Take a nap
>>31725324
The pain makes us grow stronger
>>31725324
Act as bait and taunt seaking into trying to attack you, then yell Oddish to use energy ball to snipe the seaking before it gets you
>>31725396
reroll
>>31725372
Rereroll.
>>31725396
I like this
>>31725403
Underwater? I'm pretty sure that counts as willingly trying to kill yourself, which goes against the rules, so I'm going to have to skip this get
>>31725324
It was all a trap to activate Blaze.
Fire at the water to boil that fish
Get closer to death until we have a spiritual epiphany
>>31725372
Again.
>>31725439
Nah, lying on your back and floating.
>>31725414
this but while oddish is attacking sea king, you throw the gear at sea king. (aim for the head)
>>31725466
lol. dub wasted
>>31725475
reroll
>>31725475
Get it stuck on his horn if you can. Can't swim very well with a big gear on your head.
>>31725483
Finally
>>31725334
One more try.
>>31725499
So... first dubs that doesn't involve staying in the water, within five minutes of your post declaring the previous get invalid?
I'm tryin' here...
>>31725324
>You decide to taunt Seaking by saying that he's not the real king, hoping to goad him into attacking Slowking.
>>31725483
>>31725475
>>31725414Oshawott was actually taking his turn in the meanwhile, but
>Oshawott launches after Seaking with a swimming Tackle, but Seaking simply dives away back underwater-
>>31725555
Does it even count as this point?
>>31725555
Okay, that's got to count for SOMETHING, right?
>>31725555
>quads
>>31725559
>-Seaking reappears behind Oshawott for an attack
>>31725580
>*Pew*
>>31725580
H-he's fast!
>>31725594
but not enough
>>31725594
Go oddish
>>31725555
Yeaaaah, let's count it and get things moving
>>31725594
I was wondering where oddish went.
>>31725334
>>31725555
>You hop out of the water behind Slowking while he's distracted
>"Hey Seaking!" you call to the wounded pokemon, "I take back my offer to suck your dick! I'mma suck Slowking off instead! After all, only the *true* King of the Forest deserves to get a blow job from me!"
>>31725706
Roasted
>>31725706
>Seaking falls for the taunt hook, line, and sinker.
Seaking: NO! I AM KING! ME! I AM SEA-*KING*!
>Enraged by both your words and the attack he just suffered, Seaking rushes forward towards Slowking.
>>31725750also a wild marker has surfaced, how mysterious! OooooOOOooooh
>>31725770
Vanquish this ultra beast
>>31725750
>Worship the Marker as the one true savior
>Then take hold of this mighty weapon and smite Seaking
>>31725750
Spooky marker
>>31725770
Rolling for Ron to convince Oshawott to use the marker as a sword. Let him get some practice in before becoming a true samurai.
>>31725750
Dodge and let it collide with the slowking

Slowking: Hold on now...
Seaking: I AM KIIIING! I GET THE BLOW JOB!
Slowking: You are a stupid pathetic fish! How could you ever be king!
Seaking: I LET YOU SHARE LAKE WHILE FOREST DIES. YOU ARE THE PATHETIC ONE, YOU SLOW DOUCHER!
>Seaking leaps out of the water in an attack. Winded from having to speak as fast as he did, Slowking seems worn, but manages to catch Seaking with a Confusion attack.
>You and your teammates close in. This could be your chance! 4 decides!

Rolling to have Ron ponder his existence at seeing this marker and put it in his inventory.

>>31725840
>I AM KIIIING! I GET THE BLOW JOB!
how lewd
>>31725840
We all perform a coordinated attack on them, Yuro (suggesting as a name for Oddish) using energy ball, Osha using water gun, and Ron tackles them into the water to finish it all off.
>>31725840
Rollan for >>31725787
>>31725840
1. Oddish uses energy ball in the middle of the two
2. We use ember on energy ball to make a giant bomb
3. Let Oshawott use brine on any survivors
4.Eat slowking's heart like we did with krabby. Be willing to share with the others

Rolling to loot the bodies and also compliment Osha on his fantastic job.
Also, what figurines are you using?
I wanna get some!
>>31725991
Pick up the gear and throw it as far away as possible. Gears are stupid. We don't need it.Just kidding, take the gear. And whatever other shit the bosses dropped.
>>31726001
look if his horn is still intact. maybe it might come in handy...
>>31726001
Walk up to slowking, and explain why what he did was wrong.Then burn him alive. I'll let the rest of /vp/ decide whether or not they want to..you know..kingler him

Holy shit, man, those things are expensive as fuck. How do you afford all of them?
At least, the ones I'm looking at are no cheaper than $6 each
>>31726044
Don't kill him. Just take his crown and force him to revert into a Slowpoke. Is that even how it works? Worth a try, right?
>>31726044
Eat the tail

Disclaimer: No actual pokemon were harmed during the filming of this thread
>>31726044
>"Slowking, I want you to know what you did was wrong. Who lives and who dies is not something to be left up to someone like you, just because you don't like them. It should be left up to someone like *me* who knows truth and justice!"
Osha: Er-
>"Shush, I'm doing something. It's *your* bitterness and selfishness poisoning this forest, And for that, you're going to pay! Oddish!"
>>31726211
now to eat his tail!
>>31726211
>Slowking has fainted
>For putting you through all this effort, you cut off his tail and start eating it
>>31726211
>It should be left up to someone like *me* who knows truth and justice!"
>Osha: Er-
I love Ron more and more every thread
>>31726237
Yes. Gain Slowking's powers.
>>31726237
>You hold up the half-eaten tail to your team. "Want some?"
Oddish: n-...no thanks... I, uh, I photosynthesize
Osha: You go ahead and eat it Ron. I am kinda hungry though, maybe I'll pick at what's left of Seaking tho- Oh, what's this?
>Digging through the chum, Oshawott uncovers another gear
Oshawott: Another one of these things? Seaking must have eaten it. I wonder what they're for...
>>31726237
>>31726300
Say to Osharwott that he can have this as you offer him the tip of the tail as you hold it in your lips in a kissy way.
>>31726300
Honestly weird how Oddish seems more disgusted than Oshawatt this time. I wonder why.
>>31726300
The gears, what do they mean
>>31726333
You tell us, tripsmaster
>>31726211
>>31726300
Dubs really do sustaing you.
>>31726333
You poor, poor soul. I'm so sorry.
>>31726300
>A question for later, you decide. You use Slowking's gear to turn the stone path back, giving you a path forward, back into the forest. You stow the two gears into your bag with the other one you picked up from Kingler. Whatever mysteries this forest still holds, you're sure you'll find out sooner or later.
>You, Osha, and Oddish head off down the stone path, wherever it may leadTO BE CONTINUED

Thanks OP, night.
>>31726382
Thanks my dude
>>31726382
night all, thanks as always for joining!
I'll be out tomorrow, so no thread! I'll be back saturday thoughprobably!
>>31726382
night Oh Pee
>>31726382
How the fuck do you get all these figures? They're all expensive as fuck!
>>31726398
Are we going to have the name vote for Oddish tonight or Saturday?
>>31726398
Goodnight! Was it really wise to let Slowking live and stay here though? He'll probably just keep killing the forest.

OP, I just wanted to say that these are very fun threads. Good story, and the format is a nice balance between flexibility and keeping things from going off the rails. Keep it up, man.
>>31726456
>No cabbage
welp
>>31726456
I like buddy. It suits his helpful attitude.
>>31726487
I like Buddy also, because it sounds like something you're just calling him because you don't actually know or care about his name, which sound in character for Ron.
>>31726402
I've been collecting them for some 20 years now! They can get expensive though, but spread out over time it's better. Sort of pays off in the long run- The gen 1 figures are actually rare now. If I had taken better care of my voltorb and electrode, they'd be worth around $200 now.
>>31726456
I like lettuce, sounds pleasent while also being not that confusing.
>>31726482
SHIIIIT I forgot! Sorry! I don't think I can edit it unless I have a strawpoll account though right? -_-
>>31726503
Shit, man, I know what I'm doing as soon as I get a steady paycheck and move my shit into my dorm.
>>31726461
Thank you very much! I have a lot of fun doing these and seeing what you guys come up with
And I'm really glad to hear that people are enjoying it ^_^
>>31726456
Buddy Holly? Cause..ya konw..holly plants.
>>31726503
Wow. There's a flea market near me that always has a big box of Pokemon figurines, and they do look like this line. I'll have to stop by and see if they have Voltorb/Electrode...
>>31726530
Your threads really are fun, man. I just wish I could create an official /phg/ (pokemon hungergames) thread without the mods shooting me down with a ban for posting "dubs get"
>>31726556
Make sure they have an imprint on them somewhere that says this stuff
>>31726597
I'll definitely check that out next time I'm near there!
>>31726597
I only have 1 as of now, but it was an experimental buy. I kinda like these. thanks for the tips.

Starting a collection with an amazon gift card. How many do you think I could but with just $30? Just wanna buy some starters and stuff. Either those or Bravest bro, who's right around $25. Still worth it for my bird bro.

As a general rule, I usually try to find them for around $5 per figure. The older they are, the harder they'll probably be to get. They did some rereleases for the starters recently that come with each of their evo lines (expecially if they have a mega). If not amazon, try ebay. Theres a handful of sellers there who do deals for bunches of figures.

Alright. Thanks, bro. How much you think I could snag a staraptor for? Planning on doing something similar to this, but different story.With your permission, for course. If you say no, I'll step down.

>$5 per figure.
I'd rather try and make my own shitty versions out of polymer clay than pay that for a single figure honestly.

I see a couple on amazon and ebay for like $8. That's not too bad considering its from 3 gens ago. And by all means do your story!
