PUZZLE 003 [VIOLET CITY - VIDEO/ACTION]

[snapandscoot]

[[As soon as she set foot in Violet City, Emmy immediately sought out the Gym for a battle! However, if you've got your Pokegear on or you're near the Pokemon Centre, you'll see her and her Machop emerging, looking...rather defeated.]]

Well, that certainly could've gone better.

[[Almost in unison, the pair sigh and seat themselves on a bench outside the centre.]]

That Falkner fellow had some horribly powerful Pokemon! That creepy owl....gosh, I had no idea what to do! Perhaps we shouldn't have rushed in there so soon. I'm sorry, Machi.

[[The Machop frantically waves her arms and points to herself, before sighing and slapping her palm against her forehead.]]

It wasn't your fault!

[[Emmy smiles, and puts a friendly arm around her Pokemon's shoulders.]]

Don't worry, Machi. The Professor wouldn't give up and neither will we! We just have to train harder so that next time, we're ready! We're not going to lose to the likes of him!

[foolishwren]

Well, I sort of just beat him with pure brawn, but... I hear electric types are good against him.

And if you're still in Violet City, you can catch those little electric sheep not too far outside of town.

oh don't worry I am the slowest tagger - and you're welcome!

[bamfsecretary]

Believe me, I've had more than a few interesting run-ins with them myself.

Hmmm. What type of Pokemon is Machi?

[video]

[darkenedgales]

And that's exactly why you should never underestimate bird Pokémon!

[Never mind he's got nothing to do with her loss, it's just his bias speaking.]

[snapandscoot]

The pleasure is all mine, Mr Harvey! Your advice will save me quite a lot of time.

[[...this Abra, tho]]

Although...all Abby really does is sort of disappear and reappear nearby...like teleporting. Is there really a way she can win with only that technique?

:>

[snapandscoot]

Ah, Machi is a Machop! She's a Fighting type. We compliment each other quite well!

What sort of Pokemon do you have?

[snapandscoot]

[[.....she's getting a....vague feeling that she should get comfortable....]]

She's adorable! You can really see the resemblence!

I hope you don't miss them too much.

[snapandscoot]

Electric sheep? Oh goodness, now I've heard everything.

[[Except not because...lol Professor Layton's assistant GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WAITS BEHIND THE NEXT CORNER...]]

But if my current group of Pokemon can't handle him, I'll definitely keep those sheep in mind!

Thankyou very much for your help, by the way! How many badges have you managed to get?

[snapandscoot]

Oh? Have you beaten him, Luke?

[[SHIT SON SHE'S GOTTA CATCH UP!]]

[snapandscoot]

[[...the pure audacity of that will make her laugh, actually.]]

Well, I certainly won't be doing so after today! Do you train them yourself, then?

[paladinlost]

[He thinks about it for a few seconds.]

Teleport could suffice if you used it to make the opponent charge at a rock or fall into a trap, perhaps, but that'll not help very much for regular training. You could always seek out a Move Tutor and teach her new attacks, or have her train with another member of your team until she learns new attacks.

[notrueking]

[YEP

THAT WOULD REALLY SUCK!]

I haven't really found any that suit me yet. Then again, I should probably catch something so I know how it goes...

[...yeah he'll... definitely keep that in mind...]

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Yes! Get really comfy. In fact, here's the waitress now. Maes will just be ordering some tea. You might want to order some food, too... you'll be here a while. ]

Oh, I miss them every day. But I know that Elicia is well taken care of! I can't imagine anyone better to take care of her!

See, here's Gracia when she was pregnant with our baby! ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL?

[foolishwren]

Yeah, I know, right? This place is pretty crazy.

_{[The sheep had been the first TRULY strange Pokemon she'd encountered. All the others were... well, weird, but still more or less normal animals for the most part.]}

Anyway, I've gotten four.

Gonna get my fifth once I stop putting it off. Shouldn't be too hard.

[darkenedgales]

[As it should!]

Heh, you can tell? Sure I do!

[snapandscoot]

[[Writing, writing, writing~!]]

...learns...new attacks. Great! So we'll just have to keep training until she learns something she can use against those birds!

Well, I've never had a problem with training, so this should be quite fun! Perhaps once I'm stronger, you and I could have a battle, Mr Harvey!

[snapandscoot]

[[....

yep, brb ordering tea and a big piece of cake, this looks like it's gunna take a while]]

S-She's lovely, Maes! Aren't you lucky to have married such a beautiful woman? You two make quite the handsome couple!

[snapandscoot]

I don't think it could hurt! Apparently there are some Electric sheep in a nearby route, if you want to add a bit of spark to your day!

[[What Pokemon do you even recommend to the man that has everything]]

[snapandscoot]

Four?! My goodness, you must be quite the trainer!

[[CAN SHE KIND OF STARE AT YOU IN AWE A LITTLE

THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN SO EMBRACE THE MOMENT]]

[snapandscoot]

Well, you simply can't say something like that and not put your money where your mouth is!

[[aka lemme see dem birds, brah]]

[paladinlost]

Exactly. As long as you send her out regularly, it should not take too long.

[But as she continues, his smile turns somewhat apologetic.]

...I fear that might take some time. I only have a single Pokémon under level 70.

[derpsaboutfamily]

I know! [ Modesty? What is that? ]

I'm the luckiest! And we've made such a beautiful little girl, as well~ I mean, just look at that face!

And that voice! It's too bad you can't hear it, you'd just melt away.

[snapandscoot]

A single......ah....

[[Well, that's. Yes. Scratch that idea for now.]]

....well, maybe one day then, when I'm stronger! I can't let every high level pokemon intimidate me!

[snapandscoot]

I'm sure I would!

[[Is it socially unacceptable for her to beat her head on the table

This is going to go on for a while, isn't it]]

How...old is she?

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Why would you want to? Maes knows it's depressing that you don't have a Gracia and Elicia, but that's why he's showing you pictures of them!!! ]

She just turned 3 right before I arrived!

[darkenedgales]

Is that a challenge?

[No, really, is it one? Because if so, CONSIDER IT ACCEPTED. With a confident smirk, Crow pulls out several PokéBalls and lets out an Altaria, a Skarmory, a Pidgeot, a Delibird and a Honchkrow. When he's done, a Murkrow flies down and sits on his shoulder for the final effect.

IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT.]

Well? How's that?
