Mokou Quest 2: Sinnoh Edition

[capt. h]

>Call Cirno anyway. Punching rocks isn't very practical, so we need some other strategy to beat the gym leader. Maybe she knows.

> You take out your phone and call Cirno.

> "Hiya Mokou!"

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>"So the gym I'm going to challenge has rock pokemon. What's the best thing to use against them?"

[capt. h]

>"So the gym I'm going to challenge has rock pokemon. What's the best thing to use against them?"

> "Cool which one? Although fighting, grass, ground, steel, water, any of those'll work for any rock leaders. Fire... not so much. A lot of rock pokemon are also ground types, so you should be able to hammer them with water and plants."

> "Also, Kaguya's mad at you."

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>"Is she with you? You should show her Explody again. It's even better if you surprise her with it!"
>Consider which pokemon of ours are going to be useful in the gym battle with the information Cirno has given us.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Bring Magikarp. We gotta get him into a dragon sometime anyway!

>"No no no, that's the way she shows her love for me. You see, she's actually very tsundere."

[capt. h]

>"Is she with you? You should show her Explody again. It's even better if you surprise her with it!"

> "Yeah, she's here, but I dunno... she has this rule against showing her Explody. Or hiding Explody in her bag. Or being within 100 feet of her when Explody is out of its ball."

>"No no no, that's the way she shows her love for me. You see, she's actually very tsundere."

> "WHAT." You hear Kaguya yell over the phone. "Who told you that? WHO. Was it Tewi? Because I can fry up a REAL nice bunny stew."

>Bring Magikarp. We gotta get him into a dragon sometime anyway!

> Your party contains:

> Kingler
> Charmeleon
> Registeel
> Haunter
> Scyther
> Lucario

> You also have a Kricketot that you can't use until you switch something out. Of these, you consider which pokemon you would like to switch out. In your PC you have:

> Magikarp
> Ponyta
> Beedrill
> Seadra
> Fearow
> Crobat
> Luxray

>Consider which pokemon of ours are going to be useful in the gym battle with the information Cirno has given us.

> You think Kingler, Lucario, and Registeel would be useful, maybe?

> And Myon. Myon's always useful.

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>Switch Scyther out for Seadra.
>"Cirno, that's why you have to surprise her with it. So she won't see it coming. Tewi told me Kaguya LOVES surprises!"
>Why haven't we gifted that Kricketot to Wriggle yet? It doesn't seem like we need it that much.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Because we were going to give it to Keine.

[capt. h]

>"Cirno, that's why you have to surprise her with it. So she won't see it coming. Tewi told me Kaguya LOVES surprises!"

> "NO I DON'T," Kaguya yells. "Cirno, if I so much as SEE Explody, I'm gonna stick you in an oven. Got it?"

> "Don't worry, you'll never see him coming." Cirno says.

> "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT."

>Why haven't we gifted that Kricketot to Wriggle yet? It doesn't seem like we need it that much.

> That's a good question. Why haven't you?

>Because we were going to give it to Keine.

> Oh. That's why. Hard to give one pokemon to two people.

> Well, you suppose there's always the King Solomon solution. You find it works really well on Kaguya.

>Switch Scyther out for Seadra.

> You use the PC to switch your scyther out for seadra, and store your kricketot to keep it safe.

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>"Bye, Cirno! Remember, you can surprise Kaguya the easiest if she's distracted, like if she's in a battle."
>Hang up and gather our companions. It's time to smash some rock pokemon!

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Before hanging up: "And next time I call, turn your phone off speakerphone."

[capt. h]

>"Bye, Cirno! Remember, you can surprise Kaguya the easiest if she's distracted, like if she's in a battle."

> "NO YOU CAN'T," Kaguya yells.

> "Got it. Good luck with that gym battle!"

>Before hanging up: "And next time I call, turn your phone off speakerphone."

> "No, keep it on speakerphone," Kaguya says.

> "I'll turn off the the speakerphone," Cirno whispers into the phone, promtly hanging up.

>Hang up and gather our companions. It's time to smash some rock pokemon!

> YES. Companion gathering time.

> ...where are your companions?

> "Wriggle and Mystia said they were going to bed," Kogasa explains. "They sleep during the day. Now I like to sleep at night myself, but that whole adventure last night threw me completely off schedule."

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>Well Gyms stay open at night, don't they? We can wait and do some shopping or explore the town or something.
>If nothing else, we should train our pokemon. Switch Kingler out for Magikarp, and teach it to become a godly dragon of AWESOME.

[capt. h]

>Well Gyms stay open at night, don't they?

> Do they?

>We can wait and do some shopping or explore the town or something.

> You take out your map. This city contains a few shops, the Oreburgh Museum of Natural History, the Oreburgh Gym, and the Oreburgh Mines.

> "Biking is a big thing here," Kogasa mentions. "There's a lot of traffic between here and Eterna to the north, and the safest route between them is Cycling Road, so the shops sell all kinds of bikes."

>If nothing else, we should train our pokemon. Switch Kingler out for Magikarp, and teach it to become a godly dragon of AWESOME.

> You switch out Kingler for Magikarp. Your party currently contains:

> Magikarp
> Charmeleon
> Registeel
> Haunter
> Seadra
> Lucario

Dude. Bike. Let's totally get a bike. Does Kaguya have a bike? I'll bet she doesn't!

...But there's the problem of transporting it when we want to fly...

Get a foldable bike! If we can.

I say we get a bike that's able to cut, fly, swim, and all that good stuff!

...But there's the problem of transporting it when we want to fly...

Get a foldable bike! If we can.

> You decide to go bicycle shopping. You begin by looking in the window of "Silverblood's Bicycle Emporium," where prominently displayed in the window is a gold plated bike that's diamond encrusted for 1,000,000 P.

> This probably isn't the place for you. You pass it up for a place called Walmart, which upon entering has a practical collapsible bike for the much more reasonable 5,000 P. The store also has other things, like food, clothes, supplies, etc.

I say we get a bike that's able to cut, fly, swim, and all that good stuff!

> Sadly, bikes can't fly...

> Oh wait, they have hoverbikes (and hoverscooters too).

> The scooter is a tiny thing you stand on for 10,000 P. It folds up nicely, you'd have no trouble securing it to the back of your bag.

> The bike has a sidecar and a rediculously oversized engine for 15,000 P. It doesn't fold and it's not fitting in your bag, you would need some other way to store it. Neither of them will soar through the air, but they definitely don't touch the ground.

[DNAbc]

>Vote for hoverscooter!

[IdiotsOpposite]

Another vote for the hoverscooter.

[LaserTurtle]

>Let's hoverscooter in style!

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Vroom Vroom hoverscooter

[capt. h]

>Vote for hoverscooter!

Another vote for the hoverscooter.

>Let's hoverscooter in style!

>Vroom Vroom hoverscooter

> You realize that you definitely want the hoverscooter, and idly wonder why science back home hasn't invented more hover things. You purchase it, and find yourself with 7,800 P left.

> You now have the ability to travel long, relatively flat distances in short amounts of time. According to the manual, your new scooter can travel a hundred miles on a single charge at speeds up to 30 miles per hour, placing Coronet less than an hour away. Your hoverscooter will not stall in mud or sand, and can be recharged any time you stay a night at a pokemon center. It can fold up and be carried on your bag. It can be returned now for a full refund, and has a trade in value of 7000 P.

> You realize that you lost Kogasa... Nope, wait, Kogasa is looking at umbrellas at the other end of the store. It's kind of silly since she already has two.

> Well, one, not including herself.

> You notice that this place seems to have a lot of things you've seen elsewhere for more, and just about everything too. You consider buying supplies here, where you can get them cheap. Your current inventory contains:

> 9 pokeballs
> 2 premier balls
> 8 potions
> 2 antidotes
> 1 burn heal
> 1 oran berry
> TM 23 Iron Tail
> TM 51 Roost
> 1 makeshift fishing rod.
> 1 firestone
> 1 metal coat
> 1 torn shirt
> 1 spare pair of red pants.
> 2 gas masks
> 1 galactic uniform

> That, plus the shirt, pants, and longcoat you currently have on.

> You wonder if you should just throw that torn shirt out. You could probably mend it.

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>We need more pokeballs, just in case. Buy 2 of them.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Galactic uniform. Get it. Not as bitchin' as a Team Rocket uniform, but still bitchin'.

[capt. h]

>We need more pokeballs, just in case. Buy 2 of them.

> You buy 2 pokeballs for 150 P each, leaving 7,500 P remaining.

> You now have 11 pokeballs.

>Galactic uniform. Get it. Not as bitchin' as a Team Rocket uniform, but still bitchin'.

> You already have a Galactic Uniform. Would you like another?

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>We have one? Then we should get a Team Rocket uniform.
>You know, in case we have to go as a secret double-triple-reverse-unknown-third-party agent.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>If we already have a Galactic uniform, then no, we don't need another.

[capt. h]

>If we already have a Galactic uniform, then no, we don't need another.

> While you have already mugged yourself a uniform, you haven't gotten a gas mask for youself yet. Technically, the two you have are being held by Wriggle and Mystia. you can get one for 500 P.

>We have one? Then we should get a Team Rocket uniform.

> They do have a sale on gang colors. 1000 P for pants, shirt, and a black hat, for the discerning Team Rocket impersonator.

>You know, in case we have to go as a secret double-triple-reverse-unknown-third-party agent.

> You realize that a rocket uniform would be convenient if you want to play spy and mess around with Team Rocket.

> You suspect that a secret double-triple-reverse-unknown-third party agent is another way of saying you'd freely sell any information to anybody. Either that, or it means you enjoy screwing everyone over indiscriminately.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Does the black shirt have an R, or can one reasonably be added? If so, get the Rocket stuff.
>Also, get two masks, one for us and one for Kogasa.

[capt. h]

>Does the black shirt have an R, or can one reasonably be added? If so, get the Rocket stuff.
>Also, get two masks, one for us and one for Kogasa.

> The black shirt does have an R on it, in fact, there's a lot of clothing has R's, sometimes as large as the shirt itself, and other times it's just a little mark on the lapel. You believe it to be a logo for a Rocket fashion line?

> Huh.

> You get the additional supplies for 2000 P. You have 5500 P left.

> You contemplate whether you are done shopping, or if there's anything in the store you'd like to take a look at before you leave.
