After a bit more wandering, Mayu finds herself in the Tundra biome. Before her, there is a Snorunt sitting on a rock, staring off into space.

Interesting. This, Mayu knows, is the juvenile form of the Pokemon whose DNA is blended into her own. She's never actually seen one before.

As with the Shelgon, she approaches close enough to be noticed but far enough not to seem threatening. Probably.

The Snorunt blinks, then turns to face Mayu. It seems confused at first, then appears to approve of Mayu. "Hello!" It chirps. Wait...did Mayu just understand it?!

Very interesting. Mayu can generally understand what a Pokemon is trying to convey, but never as clearly as this. It seems the link between species makes a difference. "Hello, little one."

"You smell like a human, but you also smell kinda like [Mama]." Snorunt points out. That last word was definitely not one that was recognizable, but Mayu's brain "translated" it as basically the term for female parent. "Why is that?"

"Because I am like a human, but I am also like your... [mama]," Mayu says, doing her best to repeat the unfamiliar sound. "I am a little of both."

Snorunt doesn't seem to mind your difficulty in pronouncing the new word/sound, instead choosing to continue this line of questioning. "Oh. Why?"

Snorunt seems at once surprised and understanding. "Makes some sense; humans are kinda squishy. I didn't know humans could do that though. Do humans evolve now too?"

"No. Not that I know of. Perhaps someday soon they will figure it out." Mayu pauses. "Or perhaps not. Most humans like to leave fighting to Pokemon. That is no way to evolve."

Snorunt agrees. How will humans ever evolve if they don't get fighting experience?

Considering that Snorunt has no memory of other places, it believes this to be the case.

Pokemon fight each other all the time. Food, territory, grudges, etc. All are reasons to fight. Snorunt doesn't really understand the question.

"I wanted to know what living in here is like, compared to living somewhere else. But I suppose if you have never been outside then you wouldn't know." Mayu ponders this for a moment.

"Does your [mama] live nearby?"

Snorunt has been living on its own for some time now. Most Wild Pokemon are self-sufficient within a year or two, depending on species. They can often defend themselves, if nothing else, within a couple months after hatching.

Hi there! I'm Seya, a 24 y.o. editor in Atlantic Canada. I enjoy writing, reading, webcomics, art, worldbuilding, and video games (I can talk for ages about SotC and Monster Hunter...). Although I'm relatively new to playing Pokémon Tabletop via forum, I've been putting together sites like this for a long time, and I'm really excited to work with you all to create an awesome environment for Pokémon roleplay. While my job here is primarily to keep the site running smoothly, I'm always happy to chat, offer advice, and deal with any problems you run across. Let me know if I can be of any help. Inbox is always open! Cheers! xx :)

Hello! I'm Sly, the East Coast mod representative! I'm a 22 year old tax accountant who is exactly as exciting as that sounds, I'm sure. PTU is my major hobby, I run several games (of which the Geode games are my pet project), and I read a disgusting amount of fanfiction. I've been a member of the community for about a year, consider myself more GM material than player material, and am dedicated to helping make your time here enjoyable! If there's ever anything you need, don't be afraid to send me an owl! (Or a PM, I guess, if that works better for you.)

DataNinja

Hey there! I’m DataNinja, the West Coast representative. I'm the most active Staff member on here, so if you need something, try giving me a poke first, and I'll see if I can help sort out your problem. Always happy to help!

People are out there, yes, but if you're looking for a game, sorry to say that things seem to be winding down overall. There's basically been... 3 games in the last 2 years, none of which got off the ground.

It's very slow, yes. You'll probably finish working on your game before one pops up here, and if you create a recruitment for it you can expect to be swarmed with applicants.

New games seem to open up slowly here, but if new people are still welcome, I don't mind waiting around (or working on my own). It looks like there's some useful stuff to browse in the meantime.

Keep an eye on the recruitment area of this website. They're rare nowadays, but any new games that crop up will show up there. If it's a live game you want though, you're outta luck.

Basically, GMs post recruitments in the appropriate section, and then players apply to the open games. Unfortunately, there has been a rather... small amount of games posted lately, but there's one currently recruiting right now.
