Attachment DeletedThe trio and their Pokemon arrive in a dim, dank alleyway--that's dank in a bad way, though frankly I still don't understand the trend of dank being a good thing. Young whippersnappers and their rap music confound me. But anyway, the place they're in looks foreboding, like the kind of place you'd find thieves, muggers, and other delinquents, and normally that would be a bad thing, except that our heroes intend to find such people. Continue?

Brock:[Brock stops in the dark alley] Pokemon, keep up the dance and rhythm. If any unfriendlies show up we'll pretend to be a pokemon dancing trope and it'll catch em off guard when we're formidable opponents. Onix, see if during your dancing you can stand up straight and see any unfriendlies. Zubat, fly around while contributing the sonic treble to the pokemon song. Be sure to stay in my sight and make sure to be on the lookout for any muggers. Start at a 10 foot radius and gradually increase until you see something but don't increase such that you get out of my sight range.

[OOC: I bare somewhat bad news. If fights break out you can only have one Pokemon out at a time, as per current rules. The only exception is if you take the Tag Battler class.]

Ash: [now with the group] Guys I love the music, but what's going on? I thought we had a plan. [Ash slightly frowns and crosses his arms. Pikachu, now on Ash's shoulder, watches and mimics his trainer's movements]

There aren't any suspicious people in sight right now, but there may be some to the Southeast. Continue?

[OOC: Well remember Zubat was doing a perimeter search as long as he stayed in sight range of Brock and Onix was trying his best to see into the distance. I'm not sure if the southeast is out of range.]

Ash: See Misty, exactly what I have been saying! [Ash holds back a grin] Plans are pointless! [Ash looks down down the alley] Geez, this place sketchy. Why did you guys decide to go here?

Probably because Pidgeotto motioned toward it after you sent it out to track down shady characters. On that note...

OOC: Sure. While I'm at. I'll divide Zubats skills equally into Spot, Terrain Moving, Stealth, Tracking, and Aviation. So 11 in all of these and 13 in spot.

Ok; shooting to beat 7...and Zubat passes with a 12+4! He notices one of those pink-clad goons down South! If his ugly uniform is any indication, this man belongs to an evil team! Attachment Deleted

Brock: Okay Ash/Misty. Zubat spotted one of the pink walkman/disk thieving goons. [Shares all location information with Misty and Ash] You two want to take care of it. I'll have Onix block an exit so he can't escape. I can groom Vulpix while you two fight this guy. [Brock sends Geodude and Zubat back to the pokeball]

[OOC: Yes, and I apologize for not bringing that up earlier. Back when my co-developers and I were coming up with the skill system, I was of the opinion that giving skills to Pokemon was a bit arbitrary, but you do have the option. Message me here or on Skype or on the old Pokemon Tabletop boards about how you want the points invested, and I'll put them in. Don't worry about covering all the Pokemon now if you don't want to. You all are about to get more mechanical! (Sorry it took two weeks.)

As Ash, Misty and their Pokemon rush down the alley to confront the pink fink, they get the sneaking suspicion they aren't alone, and being watched, and being tracked; as people who hear rustling, and trash cans banging, and claws going clickety click along the ground, are likely to do. Then sure enough, out from behind the trash cans and from the crevices and from the storm drains and from the open windows emerge a pack of feral Meowths! Attachment DeletedAs they draw nearer, they're baring their teeth menacingly, and meowing menacingly, and growling menacingly, and making some other rather amusing cat sounds menacingly, and if they could just learn how to snap their fingers and hum the bassline from "When You're a Jet", they likely would be doing those things menacingly, too! It seems the first fight has finally begun! Crank that iconic music up if you like! [ OOC: Initiative (Order your turns go in): Ash/Misty (Their Dexterity is equal, so that's first-come-first-serve), Starmie, Pikachu, Meowths. If needed, review the Combat rules of the manual (on Page 361) and your character sheets. I would recommend the Combat Demo starting on Page 391, too. Remember your overland speed max Ash-5, Misty-5, Starmie-1, Pikachu-8. You can tell me to shift your characters in two ways; either a simple "I want to attack that Meowth/go that place", or more technical, like "2 West, 3 North". Take your time if you need, but I'll be ready!]

Brock: [Grooms his Vulpix while he waits for Ash and Misty to dispose of the one pink thug and instructs his Onix to block the single thug who may try to escape]

Ash: Whoa! Where'd they come from? [His faces briefly shows signs of surprise,but quickly becomes determined. Ash extends his left arm and points at the four Meowths.] No matter, if you cats want a fight you got one! Pikachu, bring the thunder! [Pikachu bolts down Ash's extended arm, jumps off it, and unleashes a torrent of electricity!] [OOC: I'll have Pikachu shift 1 North, 2 East (Similar movement to a Knight in chess). For Pikachu's move action i'll have him use Thunder and his target will be the center Meowth in the column of 3. First attack of the game! Fingers crossed! ]
