Go for it, run towards it, dive in head first. Live life with no regrets!
And now you guys get to lookit me babble on for a bit.

First off, confirming the adoption of that Kanga and... the heartfish thing (Level 12, both of them). Sending over the 2k and getting mah Pokes. Donating heartfish to the OME.

GenExp: 9.3
Mod!Gexp: 9.4

Now... I gotta start planning for my quest I'm gonna do soon. Which means getting the team in question ready for it. I'm not actually changing my team right now, though.

Sandslash - "Backlash" [37]
Gible - "Apoc" [17]
Espeon - "Zelda" [41]
Lucario - "Hurricane" [20]
Parasect - "Dozer" [24]
And a Dugtro that I don't have yet.

Hurr, so much to do. Not gonna apply Gexp yet since I gotta figure all this out.

EDIT: Alright, did that. Now taking a Soothe Bell off of Malachite since he doesn't really need it right now, and putting it on Raine the Kangashkan. Switching her over to a Luxury Ball. Taking it off of her and putting it in my inventory for now.

Frac, if you see this and you want to post IC first, go for it. Otherwise, I'll have a post here at some point. So much to update and I haven't even gotten to what I want to do yet.

Things to do, things to do.

First off, dumping 7.1 :gexp onto Guru. (Levels to 30, learns Reflect, Recover becomes a level-up move.)

Also, claiming 4 berries from Berry King.

~~~~~

Hooray for the shower. Cool, refreshing, and it got rid of all that nasty ash.

That small detail cleared up, and Alex was in the pokémon centre, checking up on Guru. The psychic had made excellent progress in their training session in the valley, and he'd come a long way since Alex had traded for him as an Abra.

"Guru, I think you're ready to evolve now. You up for it?"

Of course.

The opportunity to evolve Guru had only recently presented itself, when he met up with Steely back in the junkyard. She wanted to fill a couple of pages in her 'dex, Alex wanted an Alakazam, and Guru wanted the power and focus upgrade that came with evolution. This arrangement suited everyone.

Given that the pokémon centre was the hub of all trainer-related goings-on, there was a trading machine in every centre, specially for this kind of activity. As the two trainers approached, Alex recalled his Kadabra, and turned to his travelling companion.

"Anything in particular you want to use for this? Unless you want to evolve something too, I don't suppose it really matters."

Alex wasn't too sure why some pokémon species needed trading to evolve. Perhaps they borrowed the energy that was given off during the machine's operation. Then again, perhaps it was a cunning marketing ploy by the Pokémon League. Ah well, one of life's great mysteries.

Snaught was draped around his shoulders as usual, being all adorable and suchlike. Alex scritted under the dragon's chin, causing her to sigh in contentment.

Alex would find Steely napping on one of the benches in the center, Malachite flopped half in her lap. She woke with a start and grinned sheepishly, which woke Mala up as well.

They trudged off after the other trainer, Steely wondering what she was going to use for the trade. She looked at Malachite, who wasn't really paying attention to them.

"I think..." she nudged the Marowak with her boot, "You mind, Mala? Its going to just be a quick trade and trade back thing so Guru there can evolve,"

"I don't care,"

"Atta boy," she grinned, recalling him for the moment. She stared at the machine they were to use, wondering... why they couldn't just trade by hand. Though she supposed there had to be some kind of official thing binding the ball to a trainer. Or something. Who knows.

She placed Malachite's ball in the machine, and waited for Alex to do the same thing. Then they would trade.


--


To make this simple and so we don't have to do five posts to get this done: Trading Marowak for Kadabra, then trading back after Kadabra evolves to Alakazam. If a mod can just confirm both trades and whatever, we'll just RP the whole bit of it out. :D

(0.2 :gexp . So yes, that happens.)

Guru's eyes were opened.

The psychic had heard tales from those of his species of what it was like to reach the final stage of their evolutionary line. Even before the double trade, he had thought himself to be among the smartest of all living things, so he knew the pertinent facts about Alakazam. But now that he was one, his brain was working on a completely new level. The clarity, the focus, the speed and ease with which thoughts came to his new, almost infinitely expanded mind - it was like achieving a higher level of consciousness. Even the idle subconscious thoughts of passing trainers rang in his mind as clearly as if they were spoken to him. Guru was now possessing of a truly elite mind. His first telepathic message would eloquently convey his elation with both his new-found powers, and his trainer for encouraging his mind to expand so.

Sweeeet.

---

Once Guru and Malachite were back with their respective trainers, Alex retrieved the pokéball an let his psychic out, so he could get acquainted with his new powers. Snaught found the change fascinating, staring at Guru's larger forehead and moustache in wonderment. Mind you, she was only a baby, and everything was still new for her.

Trade evolutions weren't a new concept to him, funnily enough. He'd done this once before as a mutual favour for another trainer. He'd probably even be doing this again in the future, what with that Porygon and Machop of his. Keeping track of two dozen different pokémon was hard work.

But enough of that digression. Alex turned to Steely, tilted his head down a bit, and smiled.

"Thanks for doing this. If you ever need something evolved, I'd be happy to help."

Smooth, Alex. Very smooth.

He quirked an eyebrow at Guru when he 'heard' that quip. What did that mean? Just because Steely happened to be female didn't automatically mean that anything Alex said to her could be considered a pick-up line. Clearly Supergenius over there was just messing with his head. In the friendly pokémon-trainer banter way of course, not the nasty brainrape way. Because it wasn't a pick-up line. Even if she was kinda cute.

I heard that. And don't worry, this is a private channel. Damned psychics and their ability to listen in on inner monologues. Guru just twitched his moustache in mirth.

So anyway. What to do now?

"So, where are you headed now?" He asked. "I'm still trying to figure out what to do next."

Maybe he'd try for another gym badge. That was a decent challenge, and an excellent time-filler. Or he could concentrate on raising Snaught. Or maybe even both.

~~~~~

I had the "Sweeeet" part in my head, and the post just went from there. :p

I'll mention the 4 berries again in case a mod drops by.

While the whole exchange was going on, Steely pulled out her Pokedex to stare at it, flipping through the filling pages. Malachite didn't really care about anything that was going on, and thus decided to take a nap while everything was going on.

She somehow figured that he was doing such, so when Malachite's Pokeball came back to her, she just clipped it back onto her belt and flipped her Dex shut with a grin. Things were lookin' good. For once.

So, standing there by herself, she fidgeted a little bit, and watched Guru and his new form instead of looking at Alex, at least until he spoke. She peered up at him, frowned, and scooted back so he wouldn't have to crane his neck to stare down at her.

"Heh, helps me out too. Two more Pokemon I don't need to train myself," she shoved her Dex back into a pocket while she was thinking about it.

The idea of anyone thinking Steely is cute is hilarious to me, btw. Not sure why. The whole mental conversation obviously went unnoticed by her, and she was already thinking about his question before he even asked it. No it wasn't because she was a psychic... she wasn't sure where she was headed next.

"Um... to be honest. I'm not sure. I got a lot of Pokemon to train and... well, not sure where to start, really. Well, I know what I should do," she trailed off as she tilted her head and stared up at the ceiling. Hmmm...

Right, she was talking to someone. She looked back at him. "You? Got anywhere in the world ya want to go to?" she grinned at him.

RNG says... *drumroll*

:occa , 2 :apicot and a :starf . Yay.

*double checks to see if Steely had claimed berries too, and shrugs* I think that's it, since I'm pretty sure the trade is long since confirmed. Carry on.

"Heh, you and me both." One of the drawbacks to having an extensive squad of pokémon rather than a team was the constant need to divide up time and attention between them. The stasis of pokéball storage helped, but it was still a demanding job.

Alex paused for a moment to think about her own question. He had a medium-term goal in mind, but not a planned route there. It bothered him slightly, not having a explicit plan to follow.

"Well, I eventually want to get back to Rose Town to try for another gym badge. But that's gonna take a lot of preparation." If the year he spent crafting his Radloff challenge was anything to go by, anyway. "I mean, I've got a team planned out, it's just a case of training them up."

Which reminded him. Alex took a quick detour to the PC, where he swapped out Tox for something else. When he got back to Steely, he tripped open the ball to reveal a smallish armoured turtle-bug. He got out his TM case, and crouched down to the Shuckle's level.

"Hi there. I've got a few presents for you." TMs. Lots of TMs. Well, four. They were all moves that would synergise perfectly with the bug's insane defences, and it would help her to be an actual threat in competitive battling. With the four TMs all imprinted onto the Shuckle, Alex gave her a training item to hold. The Power Weight would slow her down a bit (not that it would be noticeable with a Shuckle), but it would also help improve the bug's endurance no end. Make her even more of a tank than she was now. He glanced back up at Steely, still tending to his pokémon.

"I guess I can head up to Kevin Baconville, then go right down across the continent and see what I find. Train on the way, do some sightseeing... should be fun." He took a glance at his map. "Ooh, it has a megamall. I can pick up a couple of stones while I'm there."

With this was the unspoken invitation to have her accompany him, at least on the train over. Not a pick-up line, Guru.

Tox to PC, Shuckle to party. (APL = 20.67)

Looked like he had the same problem she did... too many Pokemon, not enough time. She didn't quite know what Pokemon he had, but she knew she had quite a few to train up. It was at that second that she decided it would be best to get the group she was thinking of up to snuff. Level 48 seemed like a long ways away.... aah well.

"I eventually want to get over to the Dustlands... but the team I need for what I want isn't all the same level yet," she was... purposely being particularly cryptic about what she was planning, Alex might notice her right arm and hand twitch before she crossed her arms and tried to hide it. The electrical burn scar on her arm was twitching painfully.

He walked off to the PC, and she took a second to pull her sleeve back and rub at the scarred skin, checking on the Teleport HM on her wrist as well. Well... now was a good a time as any to gear up.

But, first, her OME friend had returned. Seeing the little tank Pokemon, she found it appropriate to plop down onto the ground and watch Alex give it the TMs. Her own half full TM case seemed like it was calling to her for a second, but opportunity hadn't presented itself for a lot of them. Meh.

"...uh," she'd sort of become lost in her own train of thought... yet again. She heard what he said, it just took a second for it to register. Hm... while she could just teleport to Brightopolis, and prolly at Dodger's front door... she could get some training done too. Which, in the long run, would be the best thing. And, well, she really did like being around other people. Her brain rambled back and fourth, the only indication that she was having a mental throwdown was the weird, almost confused look on her face.

"Ah... I think I'm gonna head over to Brightopolis real quick, then come back here. I'm kinda waiting for someone but I'm sure I have a little time to spend,"

On that note, she stood up stiffly and went over to the PC herself. She got out the lot she'd been thinking of... and kept Maelstrom with her since the team wasn't complete yet. Now, she shuffled back over to Alex (I keep wanting to write Frac, omg) and released one of her own Pokemon, pulling a berry from her pocket while she did so. It became a small, pudgy little land shark... Apocalypse the Gible. Apoc for short.

"Bottoms up, girl," she said with a grin, tossing the Watmel berry at her. She gaped open her huge jaws and gulped it down easily. She made om nom nom nom noises for a second, before stopping suddenly. She started to glow, much like Malachite did before. The girl was kinda excited now... she didn't know what Gible evolved into.

The little landshark got bigger, with claws and fins on her arms, and actually had a neck now. The light faded, and the Gabite blinked her yellow eyes at them, framed by black. Her head darted back and fourth, sniffing at the air, and she snapped her jaws at nothing in particular.

"...that was pretty easy," she commented to herself. It was nice to see a Pokemon that she hatched from an egg evolving finally. Now she'd get to spend some decent time with this lot and get them up to shape. Apoc blinked at her a few times, then set about looking herself over to see how freakin' awesome she was.

"But, uh... I'll come witcha if you don't mind. I could always just get Zelda to take us over there instantly, but we could use some more training,"


--


I don't have time to update all my stuff since I'm going to work in a few minutes, but switching my party to the one I said above, with Maelstrom instead of the Dugtrio I don't have yet.

Giving Apoc a Watmel Berry, and all my Gexp. She levels about ten times and evolves when she gets to whatever level she stops at, so she knows some moves early. Slash and Dragon Claw, if I remember correctly.

Dunno my APL right now but I'll figure it out when I get home tonight.

EDIT: Ok, here we go.

GenExp: 10.1
Mod!Gexp: 9.6

Total is 19.7

That's thirteen levels and some change... .2 change to be exact. Which with what she already has, gives her another level.

So Apoc goes from Level 17 to Level 31 (0.1/1.5), learns Sand Tomb, Slash, Dragon Claw, and Dig. Evolves at Level 31 after learning Dig.

APL: 32

Alex was nothing if not observant. If he could guage a pokémon's approximate condition just by looking at it, he would certainly notice a spasmodic twitch of someone's arm. He refrained from saying anything until he was done tending to Shuckle, and done with switching his team around. (Let's say he also did that at the PC)

"I saw your arm twitch. Did you injure it in the junkyard?" Of course, he couldn't know the real reason, so his brain filled in the most likely scenario - that she'd caught it on something sharp or bludgeony.

He recalled Shuckle, and checked to make sure he had everything he needed for a training excursion. Trainer gear, berries, medicine, cookies... yep, all good. He looked over to Steely just in time to see the latest installment of Pokémon Evolution And You, featuring her shark critter. Which promptly became a larger shark/dragon critter. Hey, he hadn't seen that one yet. Dex page +1.

On hearing that she wanted to accompany him to Brightopolis, he grinned.

"No, I don't mind. Once I'm done in KBville we can head down the coast to Brightopolis." He didn't get to go on many beach excursions as a child, what with growing up miles inland in a small town. He was quick to rationalise the beach as the shortest route to travel, bar teleportation.

Assuming they were both done here, off they went to catch the next train out.

~~~~~

Changing team to:

Shuckle (Lv 19)
Snaught (Dratini, Lv 1)
Sifter (Marshtomp, Lv 19)
Enigma (Metang, Lv 20)
Flux (Lanturn, Lv 27)
Sentinel (Golem, Lv 30)

APL = 19.33

Train to KBville time?

Crapcrapcrap. She subconsciously tightened her grip on her arm when he pointed the twitch out, frantically trying to cobble together a decent answer to his question.

"...no. I haven't hurt my arm in a long time," she said... which was the truth in a roundabout way.

Apoc blinked between the two, not having been around Steely long enough to know what was going on. Having longer legs and a bigger body now, she still waddled when she walked over to Steely, but she'd get better with time. Steely noticed that she was a little bored, and though she really wanted to have one of her Pokemon out with her right now, she recalled the landshark too, standing there all alone like she was. At least that was what was going through her mind.

Guru must be wondering what the heck is wrong with her by now. xD

Anyways. "Yeah. A-alright, sure," she grinned a little bit up at Alex, and then there was train teimz~

My character is such a neurotic nutcase.

I realized I too could use four berries, please! :D

And, yeah, heading off to KBville. Woot.
