PUZZLE 001 [ROUTE 29 - VIDEO/ACTION]

[[With a flicker of static, a concerned young woman comes into view, peering into the screen. Behind her, a Machop is also staring into the camera, albeit with a more positive expression.]]

That appears to have done it...not that tricky of a puzzle, all things considered. Hello? Professor? Luke? Anyone?

[[Frowning slightly, the girl casts a somewhat concerned look at the Pokemon beaming beside her, before furrowing her brow, appearing to be deep in thought.]]

I think I'm alone, but...where? What is this place?

[[The serious look lasts another two seconds before her expression changes to a perky smile, and she looks down at the Pokemon.]]

Well, if I am alone, perhaps that could mean that this is the big puzzle I'm destined to solve! The professor did mention something like that for himself, so why not for me! I can use this as training to become the best assistant he's ever had!

My first challenge, however, will be unraveling the mystery of you...whatever you are...

[[-and her focus shifts once again to the Machop, who promptly cries happily and kicks her arm!]]

Ow! What was tha-....ooh, do you...you want to fight?

...

[[Congratulations, you are now being treated to the (albeit distorted) sight of a woman sparring with a Machop! Emmy appears to have forgotten she's left the PGC on; she's too busy laughing and combatting Machop's strikes with practiced ease. Feel free to interrupt, although be prepared to yell; they're rather involved with their 'battle'!]]

Well, having them battle one another is how they gain experience. Gaining experience leads to an increase in levels, and that's how they get stronger overall.
explosivecombat: (I suppose that could be equally relevant)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2011-12-16 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
...although I admit I'd never considered whether they gain experience from defeating humans - most of them won't do such a thing in all seriousness, and even if they do, it normally isn't to the point where they actually manage to knock the human unconscious, which is what constitutes a victory...

[Emmy, don't make Kimblee try to figure out exactly how many points he would get from setting his chimeras on poor goddamn Archer. Please, think of Archer.]
explosivecombat: (That was lovely!)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2011-12-16 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, well - it's likely not very many, anyway!]

Either way, however, I don't see any harm in continuing to train with them yourself; it's certainly a useful way to pass the time here, at any rate!

[personal profile] vengefulyears 2011-12-16 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct!

[CONGRATULATIONS EMMY, YOU JUST EARNED 30 PICARATS.]

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I can't let myself get rusty, and Machop is such a good sparring partner...it just seems like such a waste to sit on the sidelines!

....it's going to take some time getting used to this....

[[no but

i want to fight all the pokemons tho >:]]


Besides, I'm not used to letting my friends fight for me...

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[[NO

NO SHE THINKS SHE NEEDS A FEW MORE HINT COINS, HERE]]


How...but, you're just a child...!
explosivecombat: (And what have we here?)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2011-12-16 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, I agree with you entirely.

If our paths happen to cross, perhaps we ought to discuss this in person sometime - might I ask where you are?

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I'd quite like that! You've been a really big help, Mr Kimblee!

[[Brb, looking around!]]

Route...29! Is that any help?
explosivecombat: (I like the way you think)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2011-12-16 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...not exactly - I haven't been there, and I'm not terribly familiar with Johto's layout just yet; I've only been here for about two months, myself.

There's a place known as Goldenrod City; the route immediately to the south of it is Route 34. Once you reach either of those places, let me know.
puzzling: (If my deduction is correct...)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
If you happen to remember Lando, his teenaged self is here as well. There is also a Big Luke along with the Luke that you remember. I believe Big Luke is about in his twenties, if I remember correctly.

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Goldenrod City or Route 34; got it! I look forward to meeting you in person!

....ah, I suppose that means I'll have to work out how to...save you in this thing, or something...

[[....omg a puzzle]]

I'll work it out!

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
...Lando?

.....Big Luke?

[[Ah, Professor....]]

...I'm afraid I'm not following, Professor.
vengefulyears: (i c wut u did thar)

[personal profile] vengefulyears 2011-12-16 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[NO REALLY, YOU SOLVED THE PUZZLE, IT'S OKAY.]

In your time I'm a child, but I'm from the future. And to complicate matters further, the younger me is also here in Johto.
explosivecombat: (I love girls like that!)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2011-12-16 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...rather fond of working out the local machinery, aren't you?

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes! You can't let a puzzle intimidate you, after all, and what is machinery but a big puzzle?
puzzling: (My God; is that--)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Big Luke should be a new thing for everyone, but she doesn't even remember Lando? A small pause. ]

Emmy, what do you remember last before arriving here?
explosivecombat: (Don't worry; it's nothing personal)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2011-12-16 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh god

a cute one]


...well, that's certainly one way of looking at it, I suppose.

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[[You spelled 'kick-ass' wrong, but that's okay!]]

It's certainly the most fun way of looking at it!

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[[NO, THIS PUZZLE IS JUST BEGINNING FOR HER, OH GOD]]

....you're....from the future?

...

I think we definitely need to meet up!

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
What do I remember last?

...well, apart from the usual, we recently thwarted Descole's scheme for Ambrosia!

Why, Professor?
vengefulyears: (contemplating the meaning of life)

[personal profile] vengefulyears 2011-12-16 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL TOO BAD, YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THESE PICARATS AND YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT!!

And after some more coughing, Clive is going to take off his hat now so he can lay back down.]


Yes, I agree. And hopefully I won't have this awful cold when you get here... But I'm currently in Goldenrod City with the Professor and Little Luke.
puzzling: (Hm...let's think this through)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh dear... ]

If memory serves correctly, that has occurred almost three years ago from my time back at home.
