Week 1.
WEEK 1. As Cynthia had promised, the sun does indeed rise the next morning. Whether you slept or not (and sleeping inside the Pokémon Center you were in before seems totally fine by the attendant), it seems Cynthia kept her word; she left sometime shortly before sunrise, and you haven't been bothered by Team Galactic and those that work for it in the interim. It isn't advisable to return to the headquarters building, however. At least not for the time being. However, a new day does dawn, and with it comes the knowledge that you're in an unfamiliar city, completely on your own. There are several things to be done before you can leave: gathering supplies and provisions, finding maps, obtaining new clothes... Of course, your new "companions" are still with you, and they don't seem willing to leave your side; they'll follow you dutifully, but they still seem...wrong, horribly so, and it doesn't seem to be wearing off. Maybe if you work with them a little...? Try to talk to them, train them, teach them to do things... Who knows? It might do them some good. POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week one of Azume; feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget that a write-up is due this weekend! Feel free to investigate the city as you see fit this week; we ask only that you try to stagger investigations and be mindful of what's already been checked. If you wish to investigate, notify the mods in your comment subject for your top-level and we'll get on it as soon as possible!] |

[He turns to look at Klink for a moment, before looking back to Kayneth.]
Sure, I guess we could do that. Better to train with each other than the wild ones, at least.
no subject
[he goes for the Pokeball at his belt, then...!]
no subject
[Ari nods in agreement, before he gestures to allow Klink to a spot here in front of him. We're ready when you are, Kayneth.]
no subject
[he tosses his pokeball a bit lazily, then, releasing the Frillish inside!]
Let's see what we're dealing with here, Velasquez.
no subject
Use Vice Grip?
[That's when Klink obediently floats over to Frillish and appears to be attempting to grab it somewhere in-between those two gears that make up it's body...]
no subject
it's just... kind of phasing through the Frillish? It's not actually affecting it at all...]
...
Ah. That's... a Normal move, isn't it...
no subject
[Huh. Well, this is awkward.]
no subject
[always good, but...]
Does your Pokemon know any Steel moves, by chance?
no subject
[Ari opens the book he picked up, flipping some pages to look for where some sample steel type moves might be]
Um... use Gyro Ball?
[Klink does nothing.]
... Flash Cannon?
[Still nothing.]
Mirror Shot?
[Still nothing... guess what Pokemon doesn't learn any steel moves until level 16, or even anything that would actually be useful in this fight against Frillish like Thundershock until level 11? If your guess is Klink, you would be correct!]
no subject
Ah...
[he looks a bit awkwardly at the two Pokémon. Like sure he could just go ahead and steamroll Ari, but he’d kind of like to foster strong alliances with people he can expect to help him kick some ass. So.]
Well, at least this was a good learning experience that let you know what your weaknesses are and what you should be looking for in terms of coverage.
