Pallet Town: Shades of Your Journey Await!

Oct 2, 2019 6:44 pm
The Small settlement of Pallet Town is known for three things, its rich history of Pokemon champions, the Pokemon Expert Professor Oak, and its recent booming tourist industry. Though the town remains true to its origins and is still relatively small compared to other towns in Kanto. This is the location where our heroes' Journey's Begin.

Shuta looks around town as he makes his way to Oak's Lab. With his earbuds in he bobs his head to an unheard beat avoiding talking to random people along the way.

JackJack sent a note to Rabitrick
Shuta are you just going a direct route, no interest in any seeing what's going around town?
OOC:
It is your home town so I understand if not too.
Oct 3, 2019 3:24 pm
OOC:
Direct route with not a lot of people around. I'm of the mindset the quicker I get there and get a pokemon the quicker he's free of parental oversight. Granted running and pushing people out of the way might make it seem like he's putting in too much effort so Shuta is more 'Whatever the world in a gray mud ball'.

Keiran walks confidently through Pallet on his way to Oak's lab. As he passes the many people, he gives an enthusiastic wave and big "Hello, neighbor!"
His Venonat, Tuffy, bobs along happily at his feet. Keiran looks over the message he received with excited curiosity.
I wonder what Professor Oak wants to see us for.

You reach the biggest hill in Pallet Town, sitting on top of it is the famous Oak Labs, walking up the steps you catch yourself counting the steps, somewhere around 150 steps get you up to the large wooden doors of the lab. Once inside there are about half a dozen lab assistants pouring over books, beakers, and one who appears to be doing a check up on a Rattata.
Oct 3, 2019 3:54 pm
Shuta deviates from his purpose of coming here and sizes up the Rattata getting checked out. He stares blankly at the pokemon.
Oct 3, 2019 5:08 pm
Jared & Peedee head to Professor Oaks lab, but make a stop at the nursery on their way.
Oct 7, 2019 5:34 pm
The Lab assistant looks up at Shuta, Hi there, you must be one of the new trainers.
Oct 7, 2019 8:26 pm
"Yep. Hey Lady what's up with the Rat?" Shuta states nodding at the Rattata.
Oct 8, 2019 7:21 pm
Jared
You come to the Nursery it has a rather large greenhouse sitting out front and lots of smaller plants in the yard, you're pretty sure you see a tuft of grass move, but you're not sure, standing outside is Ms. Showers, you've seen her about town and she is friendly enough to all the young people in Pallet Town.
Oct 8, 2019 7:24 pm
Shuta
Thats a Rattata we're performing studies to see if there is a correlation between their fang size and how close they are to evolution.

The usual neighbors wave to you and smile, you catch some new faces though, make a perception check.
Oct 8, 2019 7:49 pm
Good Morning Ms. Showers he says as he investigates the grass

Oct 9, 2019 2:23 am
Morning Jared! she walks closer to you and peers into the grass with you, Did you see soemthing?
Oct 9, 2019 2:28 am
No, looks like I imagined it. he says. Talk to you later. I gotta go to Oaks lab to pick up my license. Jared then heads to the lab
Oct 9, 2019 2:32 am
Okay remember be careful it is pollinating season and a lot of Pokemon are using stun spore!

Oct 9, 2019 12:01 pm
"So they might evolve quicker the more they predate? Interesting..." Shuta mutters as he stands an odd smirk on his face.
Oct 14, 2019 9:25 pm
Keiran you notice a group of tourists complaining about how they wish this town really had more to offer if its supposed to be the big home of the greatest Pokemon champions.

Shuta the rattata rubs close to you and you can feel it almost purr like a cat. Then out of the corned of your eye you see an older man enter from the back of the lab.
Oct 14, 2019 9:25 pm
Well hello there! Professor Oak smiles at Shuta.
Oct 14, 2019 11:18 pm
Well. It's gonna take a duo like Tuffy and I to show that this town should be worthy of a champion town!

Keiran announces this with a triumphant smile even though he is unsure that anyone heard him. He then gives Tuffy a scrub on the head and bolts off to the lab.
Oct 15, 2019 12:20 pm
Shuta's gaze goes from the pokemon to the older gentlemen and back. He puts a hand on the pokemon's head.

"Don't let people look down on you." he states before standing and turning to the older gentlemen.

"Hello Sir, you're kind of well known around these parts. Are there others or just me?" Shuta states looking into the man's eyes fully being oddly civil considering although giving a bit of intense eye contact.
Oct 16, 2019 6:05 pm
Keiran you walk your way up to the Lab and upon opening the wooden doors you see a similar scene to what Shuta saw, though now the Rattata is chewing on a small log. You see at the end of the hall Professor Oak talking to Shuta.
Oct 16, 2019 6:06 pm
There are a total of five of you coming today. He smiles at you, you're just the earliest, So you get to choose first.
Oct 16, 2019 7:04 pm
"Charmander later he be become black..." Shuta states looking at the man as he states getting a pokemon.

And possibly burn down the world... he thinks to himself slightly smirking.
Oct 17, 2019 1:40 pm
Keiran gives the Rattata a pat on the head and smiles before spotting the Professor. He strolls on over with Tuffy by his side.

Howdy! I received this here notice.

He holds old the message to meet.
Oct 21, 2019 11:37 am
"Hey, I already called Charmander so I have 'dibs'." Shuta explains.
Oct 21, 2019 2:50 pm
Oh. Hello there.

Keiran looks at Shuta and pats Tuffy on the head.

I've no interest in a Charmander at this moment. I got my pal right here by my side.

He then turns his attention to Oak.

So, to what do I owe this invitation?
Oct 22, 2019 5:31 pm
Well it just so happens I need some help with a new project of mine, professor Oak reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Pokedex. I don't know If you've noticed or not but we've had increase of migration of foreign species of Pokemon to our region, and I would like your help categorizing what new Pokemon have found their way into our region.
[ +- ] Pokedex
Oct 23, 2019 11:49 am
"Fair enough..." Shuta states extending a hand for the pokemon, "Did you want us to bring back any interesting ones?".
Oct 23, 2019 11:33 pm
To be honest, I don't know what is all out there so I will be asking you, Keiran, and three other up and coming trainers to go on their Pokemon journey, and as a part of that you get the Pokedex, and I require you just document every Pokemon you can.
Oct 24, 2019 11:35 am
"OK, well I'm ready to go after I get my Charmander or do we need to way for the other three?" Shuta asks the professor.

"Kerian, Shuta." he states to nodding at the other trainer.
Oct 24, 2019 3:33 pm
Keiran turns to Shuta and extends a hand.

Hiya! Name's Keiran. That's K-E-I-R-A-N.

He flashes a beaming smile.
Oct 24, 2019 9:00 pm
You have no need to wait, I'd be happy to give you your Pokemon, and you're Pokeballs. With this Oak hands over to you 6 Pokeballs, and the Pokedex. Shuta you get an extra Pokeball where instead of the typical red top it has a little flame on it.
Oct 25, 2019 10:39 am
Shuta scratches his cheek, "Oh, my apologies... I guess I can't say your name has anything to do with anything involving corpses if things get hairy. I guess we'll be traveling together Keiran." he states looking down at the hand before grabbing it.

After receiving his equipment and pokemon Shuta looks at the ball with a flame and pops it open. Although the flame pattern is pretty sweet he needed to verify some things. He squats in front of the pokemon and gives it a once over glance.

"Oy, you want to stay in the ball or walk around. Also you're name is Kuro from now on." Shuta states wiggling the ball.
Oct 29, 2019 11:20 pm
The charmander seems excited to meet you, and makes an almost purring sound looking at you.
OOC:
Im assuming you two are itching to get on your way?
Oct 30, 2019 11:40 am
Shuta shrugs putting the ball in his pocket, "I'll wait till it rains then."
OOC:
I'm fine either way. Insert music for beating bushes and grass to see if stuff comes out...
Oct 30, 2019 1:56 pm
Keiran smiles at the pokedex he'd been handed and tries it out on Tuffy. He pops the lid open and listens to its inquiry on the Venonat.
Oct 30, 2019 8:24 pm
[i]Venonat, this bug Pokemon's eyes act as Radar allowing it to see perfectly at night time.[/I]
OOC:
Feel free to check out anywhere in Pallet town for either Pokemon or items before you start your Pokemon journey.
Oct 31, 2019 11:06 am
"I'm going to hit the PokeMart before leaving town, meet you on the way out?" Shuta states nodding to the door sideways and walking out with Kuro.
Oct 31, 2019 1:25 pm
Mesmerized with his new gadget, Keiran gives Shuta an acknowledging nod before now turning the pokedex to the Rattata and logging it.
Nov 4, 2019 9:37 pm
Well well, im glad you two already seem to know how to use the Pokedex, I think I should mention that Florinda at the Xandu Nursery has a particularly interesting Pokemon for you to see.
[ +- ] Pokedex Entry for Rattata
Nov 5, 2019 12:13 am
I think I might just do that! Thanks, Professor.

Keiran heads out to check out the Xandu nursery with Tuffy right behind him.
Nov 5, 2019 12:44 pm
Shuta stops trying to teach Kuro poses to look cool or intimidate someone as they eventually arrive at the PokeMart.

"Crap I have no way of getting a hold of that guy... well I guess I'll wait at the edge of town when I'm done here."
OOC:
I figure I should find a tent, sleeping bag maybe an umbrella, maybe some tissues, delinquents can be prepared too!
Nov 5, 2019 8:48 pm
OOC:
So you also wanna go to the poke-mart? just so you're aware you should get some basic travel stuff from your family, in an explorer's pack.
As usual you travel through the familiar town, to Xandu Nursery, the greenhouse is particularly warm this time of day.
Nov 6, 2019 2:28 pm
OOC:
I guess it'd be in the Filcher's Pack.
Shuta looks around for anything on sale and if nothing impressive or useful is seen he'll head over to the outskirts of town looking for pokemon with their owners along the way.
Nov 6, 2019 6:19 pm
Shuta
The poke mart is attached to the radio station, and it seems the owner is definitely taking his interest in the radio over the store. The store is pretty bare;
Potion $200 poke Dollars
Pokeballs $250 Poke Dollars

Keiran
upon entering the nursery it seems Ms. Showers is quite upset, though you can't tell what about yet and is looking about quite franticly.
Nov 6, 2019 8:46 pm
Keiran watches on curiously at her apparent panic.

Uh....everything alright, ma'am?
Nov 6, 2019 10:01 pm
Ms. Showers looks up at you, oh Keiran, I can't find my new Caterpie and its a particularly rare kind!
Nov 7, 2019 1:11 pm
Shuta nods and buys to potions just in case. He heads to the end of town looking around he scans Kuro to get things starts and looks around for other pokemon on the way.
Nov 7, 2019 5:47 pm
Shuta
OOC:
Subtract $400 and add two potions to your inventory.


As you exit Pallet town you find yourself on a long winding dirt path heads across some hills, and enters a forest, in the distance you can the see the mountain range in the far distance.
OOC:
Do you wanna stay in the hilly grasslands outside of Pallet town or are you starting off into the forest, or looking for a trainer specific?
Nov 7, 2019 10:02 pm
Shuta meanders around the outskirts looking for pokemon he can scan from afar or catch. Also looking if there's other trainers around with possible injured pokemon.

If they don't have any positions I wonder if I can charge them extra for a potion... Shuts thinks to himself a mischievous grin on his face.
OOC:
I'll stick around where I can see people exiting the town in case Keiran shows up, if I see anyone or pokemon I just have to make sure my old ways don't come out and just attempt to catch or battle them.
Nov 7, 2019 11:02 pm
OOC:
Make me a perception check.

Forgot about my bug maniac skill that allows me to add +1 to skill checks with my bug pokemon. Tuffy's results should be 16 for perception and 11 for Investigation.
Nov 8, 2019 5:22 pm
Shuta
You feel something run right between your legs, definitely a small Pokemon is in the grass with you, but what kind, you're not sure.

Keiran
Between you and Tuffy you follow the Caterpie tracks to find a Yellow colored variation Caterpie eating some poke-blocks.
OOC:
If you were gonna try to catch it for ms. showers you would have advantage.
Nov 8, 2019 9:42 pm
Keiran waves Ms. Flowers over.

Do you have any means of securing it? We have found the caterpie.
Nov 11, 2019 10:51 am
"Be on guard..." Shuta warns Kuro before looking for a stick or a stone to go poking through the grass.
