Gregory wasn’t entirely sure how to respond to Faron’s sudden rudeness. It was just so weird to hear something that lifeless come out of a person, and it just really put Gregory off and into a bit of a bad mood. He responded with a meek “Whatever.” to Faron’s question, looking down at Maria for a bit of comfort. It was to the point that Gregory was sort of hoping he doesn’t end up as Faron’s roommate, which was a very not-Greg thing to think about someone. “Oh, it’s fine.” Gregory said with a shrug as the twins came in, spirits recovered from Faron’s… Faron-ness. “Not like we’ve got much better to do anyways, heh-heh.”He got up, leaving Maria on the couch, and walked over to the hat, saying “Lucky number one, here I come!” before grabbing a piece of paper from the hat. D4 roll because the GM asked for it: anoeCLya1d4 1d4

Alex yawns, standing and moving towards the hat. "Three for me... And this one I guess..." He nodded a greeting to the twins, looking them over. What kind of trouble were they getting into? Part of him wanted to tag along... But he told that part to behave. Reasons 3Q6NXtSw1d4 1d4

Smoochum, that was it! I'll remember this time. He gives one last sneer of disdain at the beaten and unconscious Smoochum, before leaving.
Zo enters the dorm, in an excellent mood, and greets those in there. He raises his eyebrows a little at Faron being here, smirking inside. "Ah, a newcomer! Faron, right? My name is Zodor Mayka, but please, call me Zo. And this is Lipwig." He motions to the Murkrow, who may or may not have flown off to something shiny already. He next releases his new catch near the fire, to make sure she was nice and warm. "Welcome to your new home, little one... You're gonna need a name, aren'tcha?" He ponders this for a moment, before his eye falls on (the rather obvious) pearl perched on top of the piglet's head and he gets an idea. "How does Jewl sound to you?"He spends the rest of the time getting to know his two new mon and his dormmates, until Dakota walks in with a hat and tells them to pick a number. "And I'll take lucky number four"Room roll even if it's pointless: xLtJrM0G1d4 1d4

Jewl happily bounces around, staying somewhat close to the fire. She nuzzles up to Zo as he speaks, clearly happy with her new surroundings.
“I’ll take two.” Faron says, taking a number out of the hat.
Looking at your numbers, Greg pulled out a three, Alex pulled out a one, and Zo pulled out a two. After everyone announces their numbers, Faron looks over to Zo.
“I suppose we’ll be sharing a room, then.”
When you walk into your rooms, you see your uniforms laid out on both of the two beds and a paper version of your schedules, which you can now find on your Pokedexes.

Alex nods, hanging up his uniform and doublechecking his schedule. Looked pretty simple...He set an alarm on his Pokedex for early, looking to Greg.
"I'd love to chat more and deepen our bonds as friends, but I'm bushed. I'll see you in the morning... Oh, and since you're my roommate, you get first dibs if your pokemon needs some mentoring." He grins, placing his belt with his pokeballs on it with his uniform, and his backpack close by. He's passed out as soon as he hits the bed.

Gregory stepped into his new room with Alex, still holding onto Maria, and looked around the room, nodding slightly. He set Maria down on the ground before kneeling down to her and saying “Nighty night, buddy, see ya in the morning.” before recalling his Horsea back into her Pokeball for the first time.
“Yeah, yeah, don’t worry about it, dude. It’s a little late and,” Gregory said in reply to Alex, covering his mouth as he yawned, “I totally need to shut eye myself, so night and all.” Gregory threw his backpack into a corner of the room while he hanged up his uniform; said uniform falling to the ground moments after being hanged up. He then threw himself into his bed and drifted off to sleep, still full of wonder as to what the next day had in store for him.

After being greeted by Jewl, Zo ran both her and Lipwig through some mental focus excersizes (both of them seemed to really need it). Training! +2 Xp for Lipwig. Lipwig reached level 6! Lipwig gained +1 Attack!
+2 Xp for Jewl
Zo smirks at Faron. "Indeed we will. Most excellent. Now, before I head in, I have some stuff to do." He walks to his assigned room and drops his baggage on the right bed, before walking out again. He heads for the kitchen, where he nabs a knife from the drawer. Holding it up to Lipwig, he smiles. "A promise is a promise. You did well out there, my friend." He hands the corvid the knife, before checking no one can see him. He quickly gets out the pin he had to steal for Trinity and holds it up so the Murkrow can get a good look at it. "You see this, my friend? Do you think you could recognize it when you saw it again? Cause I want you to find as many of these as you can, and to try and remember who you took them from, okay? And when I ask you to, I want you to identify those persons if you can, understood?"

When you show Lipwig the knife, he dances around. He holds it in his mouth, waving it around as he dances. After you show him the pin, though, he drops the knife. He looks at it carefully, even pecking it a little. He nods when you ask him to take the pins from people and remember who he takes them from.
Picking the knife up again, he brings it into your room, and pushes it under your bed.

Alex gets up bright and early, getting some training in with Kabby and Zoey before breakfast. "Just a light morning workout, then some breakfast! Then some hunting, maybe we'll get in some battle training."After the hour of training, Alex returns Kabby and Zoey to their pokeballs and heads to grab some grub. Kabby +8 XP LEVEL UP! +1 Def
Zoey +8 XP Encounter roll

Zo follows Lipwig into his room, shaking his head slightly as the Murkrow hides his stash under his bed. Walking over to the window, he opens it up all the way, before clearing his throat to catch Lipwig's attention and gesturing for the window. "Maybe somewhere outside might be a better place to hide your shinies, yes? Now, go off and hide it well, but don't take too long. It's getting late."He waits till the Murkrow has returned before getting ready for bed and getting in. "Night," he says to Faron before drifting off. Darkness... A speck of light, swiftly growing, dancing. Growing stronger, brighter, hotter, a burning fire, eating away his flesh. Mocking laughter, scornful insults, the hatred of world crushing him.
Beyond this all, a looming figure, incomprehensible on all scale, gazes at him, studies him as if he were a fruit, not yet ready to be harvested. A writhing mass of something always there, lurking in the darkest corners of his mind.Zo startles awake with a gasp, panting. And yet another night of rest interrupted by nightmares. He sighs, rubs his face and checks the time on his Dex. Half past five. Great. Well, seems Darkrai granted me more rest than usual. No point in laying awake now. He quietly gets up and gets dressed, trying not to awake Faron. Grabbing his stuff, he leaves the room and heads for the kitchen. Yawning, he flicks on the coffee maker. As the coffee is brewing, he gets out the notebook he brought especially for it, and writes out another Cleanse Tag, desperate to take his mind of his dreams. Occult Education for Power Value: x7gXn3fe3d6
Once the coffee is done brewing and Zo has drunk some of the liquid energy, he releases Lipwig and Jewl, putting both of them through the same mental excercises as yesterday, though putting in a tad more effort in having them stick this time. Applying Focused Training and Experience Training to both Lipwig and Jewl
+3 Xp for Lipwig
+2 Xp for Jewl After training, just after seven, he nods to Alex as he gets out, "Morning. Slept well?" he asks, waiting a moment for him to answer, before returning Jewl, allowing Lipwig to perch on his shoulder and walking out, planning on taking a short stroll through town to clear his head properly before breakfast. Encounter Roll: 1d100 3d6·1d100

Gregory slowly opened his eyes as he stared at the ceiling of his room, slowly waking up. Something was… buzzing. Where was that buzzing sound coming from? Gregory arose in his bed, rubbing his eyes awake with a long, tired yawn. That buzzing was actually very loud, and it was starting to get on Gregory’s nerves, so he started looking for its source. He tiredly gazed around the room, first noting that Alex wasn’t there, and then, after a few moments of looking, he figured out that the buzzing was coming from his night stand. Specifically, it seemed to be coming from the electronic clock on the nightstand. Gregory picked it up, pressing the big button with “Snooze” written on it in an effort to stop the buzzing. Much to his luck, it did, and Gregory soon found himself reading the time displayed on the clock.
8:07 AM, it read, about an hour and later than Gregory was used to getting up. All the memories of what happened yesterday, from the pin to the new people to Maria, came rushing back to Gregory as he eyed the clock. Right, today was a new day, Gregory was at a new school and he had classes today. Exciting.
Despite being awakened at an earlier time than he was used to, Gregory didn’t really feel all that tired. He jumped out of bed, hitting the lights before heading back to his bed to get dressed. Before that he opted to let Maria out of her Pokeball. “Morning Maria!” Gregory said with a smile as the Horsea appeared on his bed. “Sorry for putting you in your ball for the night, but, you know, don’t really have a good place for you to sleep in and all.”
Gregory put on his uniform as best he could, actually taking some time to make sure it looked kind of right. It was definitely the fanciest looking clothing he had ever worn, so Gregory was trying to but a bit of care into them. It definitely didn’t look perfect, even looking a bit off, but it was pretty good for Gregory standards.
Gregory grabbed the schedule that he had sort of just casually thrown on the ground the last night and took a moment to actually read it. “Breakfast at eight, eh?” He said out loud as he nodded his head, feeling a bit hungry. His thoughts were interrupted by his alarm clock going off again, as he jumped up at the sudden buzzing. “Must be broke…”
After “turning” off his alarm once again Gregory made a quick trip to the bathroom to wash up before returning to his room. He had to “turn” off his alarm once again, thinking about maybe just having Maria blast the thing with water if it became a problem, before picking up said Maria and heading out to the cafeteria for breakfast, saying hi to anyone who was still in the lobby. He still looked quite tired, despite being relatively awake.

When Zo returns to the dorms, they’re quite empty despite the time. Xander is in the kitchen doing some cooking with his Pokemon and Faron is sitting in one of the chairs looking at his Pokedex, sans Riolu. Neither of them pay Zo much attention when he walks in.

Zo nods to the two currently there. "Good evening to you both." He moves to one of the chairs himself, rummages around in his backpack till he has found the first aid kit he'd brought, calls out Lipwig and begins tending to the corvid's injuries. He was still somewhat hurt himself, but... he was feeling drained... he'd be fine for sure. Just to be sure, though, he tries his best to patch himself up just enough to at least get some energy back. Once he has done that, he nods again to the two boys, bidding them a good night, walks over to his room, opens the window, and strokes Lipwig's feathers for a moment. "You were of great help today, my friend. Now go out and hide your bounty." He let's the Murkrow fly into the night with his shinies, after which he takes a shower and gets ready to head to bed relatively early (he needs the sleep, after all) Draining 4 AP to get rid of 2 Injuries on Lipwig Draining 1 AP to use my First AId Kit on Zo, healing UgNum0y22d6 HP 2d6

Greg:
Dakota nods and recalls Willow with a smile. “Alright! That sounds amazing! You’re right, though, it is getting a bit cold, so let's head back.”
The two boys take about 20 minutes to get back to the dorms, leaving them with about an hour and forty minutes of free-time left before curfew.
Arriving back at the dorm, the two boys see Xander but no one else. He’s sitting on the couch with his Petilil with a notepad out while watching a cooking show. He looks up from his notes and nods to his two dorm-mates.
“Welcome back.” He says, as monotone as ever. “Magnolia and I were thinking of practicing our cooking. Would you two like a snack or anything?”
“Would I ever!” Dakota says excitedly, despite having wolfed down an enormous amount of food mere hours ago. “I’ll be right back, I’m just going to go put on my pajamas!”
As Dakota skips off down the hall to change, Xander turns off the TV and makes his way over to the kitchenette.

Gregory smiled as he entered the dorm room, happy to get back to a warm room and to see a familiar face. “Oh, that’d be awesome.” Greg said to Xander’s idea, sitting down on a couch near the fireplace. “Me and Dakota were out in the woods for a bit, so some tasty grub would be mighty fine right about now, heh.”
As Xander watched his show and Dakota did whatever Greg let Maria wonder as he let out his newest teammate, the Barboach he had just caught. “Hey water mud dude, I’m Greg, and that Horsea bouncing around over there is Maria. I’m, like, your new owner and stuff, but I’m sure we’ll grow to be, like, wicked close friends and stuff.” Gregory held out his fist in front of the Bardoach, expecting a fist bump from it.
“But, umm, yeah, we need a cool new name for you, so let me think…” Greg leaned back in his seat as he looked up at the ceiling, thinking, before snapping his fingers and sitting back right. “I know! Darren! How does that name sound, Darren?”

Xander nods, putting an apron around himself and a smaller version on his Pokemon. While Dakota is off changing, Maria bounces towards Xander and Magnolia, enticed by the delicious smells of their cooking.
Meanwhile, Greg’s new Barboach friend seems a bit confused by Greg’s gesture, but eventually bumps it’s head against the boy’s fist. Upon hearing it’s new name, it slowly nods, accepting it.
In a few minutes, Dakota skips out once again, this time wearing a fuzzy pajama set printed with Litwicks. He sends out Willow, and upon seeing Darren out, Dakota sends out his Barboach as well. He gives it a big hug, and it looks a bit scared at first, but then it settles into the hug as Dakota pets it.
“See look?! We aren’t that scary! This is Willow, that’s Greg, that’s Maria, and that’s your friend!” Dakota says, gesturing to each person in turn. “You need a new name….How about River?”
The Barboach makes a bit of a burbling noise, but then gets scared by Xander clanging pots and pans and wriggles under Dakota’s shirt. The boy laughs, but doesn’t do anything about it.
After about 30 minutes, Xander clears his throat a bit, presenting a platter with six different small portions of food. One is a pan-fried bit of a fish of some kind, another is a bowl of noodles with some obvious pepper flakes, another seems to be some candied lemons, another is a bit of bread with what seems to be a homemade spread on it, another is some chocolate cookies, and the last is a single piece of chocolate cake.
“Please only take one and leave the rest for everyone else. And please do tell me how it tastes! I’ve tried out some things I dont usually do, so I’d like your opinions.” Xander explains.

Greg sniffed the air as Xander cooked, feeling his stomach growl in the process. He had been walking in those woods for quite a while, and Greg was starting to get peckish. As Xander called out Greg walked over to the platter, eyes wide as he admired the sampling. “Wow, Xander, this is like, some fancy 6 star restaurant style stuff! Here’s hoping the grub is as good as it looks!”
Greg, despite his hunger, managed to hold himself back from grabbing the closest dish. He took a moment to look them over, mostly going on his gut instinct when judging the dishes. Greg is rolling Novice Intuition to "sniff" out the best dish: N7vfNOsk3d6 3d6

Dakota nods, River’s head poking out from the neck of his shirt.
“It does look delicious Xander! Gee, we sure are lucky to have a real gourmet chef in our dorm!” He adds.
At all this praise, Xander tries to keep his cool, calm, and professional demeanor, but both Dakota and Greg easily notice him blushing. “Th-thank you…” Xander says, quite quietly.
Without even giving it much of a thought, Dakota grabs the chocolate cake and goes to sit back down. A moment later, he says (with a mouthful of food), “This is so good!”
Meanwhile, looking at the dishes, Greg gets a feeling that the fish is maybe not the best, as they all looked really good, but at least the dish Xander is most comfortable with.

Greg rubs his chin, deciding to skip over the fish, instead picking up the cookies and taking a bite, wolfing it down in short order.

The cookies are delicious, tasting like bitter dark chocolate, but still sweet enough to be tasty. After Greg picks his dish, Xander puts the platter on the counter and starts taking off his apron. He then takes the apron off Magnolia and gives her a pat on the head. “You did a great job.”Turning back to the boys, Xander asks, “So um, would you guys like some more snacks occasionally? I’d love your opinions, if you don’t mind that is.”With his mouth still full of cake, Dakota replies, “Yes please!” Greg has consumed a Bitter Treat and gains this snack’s Digestion Buff!
