Pokemon Quest #156

>Have Aria catch the ball. (easy roll)

Let's roll some dice.

>Have Aria rush through the door. Try to catch the Pokeball (will require roll)
Starting the night by testing our luck seems like a good idea.

[Awww. That's awesome!

>Have Aria rush through the door. Try to catch the Pokeball (will require roll)
>Have Violet grab something from the downed guard in case we can't catch the ball
we can't let the door shut

Yeah, so no matter what happens here, there's at least one timeline where after everything, Kat, Robin and Vance go for a holiday in Sinnoh.

>>Have Aria rush through the door. Try to catch the Pokeball (will require roll)

Have Aria rush the guard. If she attacks him, he won't be able to shut the door, and he'll have to defend with his pokemon instead of blocking us

>Have Aria rush through the door. Grab whatever you can from the downed guard to deal comes out of the ball
Love you Gobble! Here's a Pokemon related butt

>Those gigantic heels

>Have Aria catch the ball. (easy roll)

[Dice me up, baby!

I missed you guys]

Rolled 70 (1d100)

Missed you too

Rolled 46 (1d100)

...

Rolled 65 (1d100)

I think it's safe to say everyone present can't wait for the next thread you run, so feeling's mutual.

well, that's not terrible. hopefully we don't get mauled by another Garchomp or something.

It's mediocre!

How's life treated you the last couple weeks?

A seventy is a perfectly decent roll.

No need to be ungrateful, lest the dice gods decide to shit on us for our greed.

But it is witnessed nevertheless.

it's certainly decent. but on best of 3, an average is close to 75, so I'm always worried we could fail even a routine roll if it's below that

as the best-out-of-3 it's mediocre

That is why I voted for the "easy" roll

>Have Aria rush through the door. Grab whatever you can from the downed guard to deal comes out of the ball

problem is, the easy roll doesn't get us out or stop the guard. if we're stuck in here, this goes from a stealth escape to a pitched battle that we can't win

But Violet and us could have just ran forward to attack to guard ourselves. Or we could have just had Aria thunder wave the guard.

“Aria! The door!”

Aria nods and zooms down the hallway. The guard just about closes it before she busts through and knocks him over. He scrambles back a foot and then shows his hands to surrender.

You run forward and dive for the pokeball. You need to be careful. Just catching it like a baseball or letting it sail too far will let it open. It’s like catching a catching a slightly more fragile egg.

But you do it. You grab it from the air and gently bring it to a stop. You sigh in relief.

A rapid snapping noise grabs your attention. You see Violet’s face illuminated by the light of the taser in her hand just a few foot behind you.

She smiles at you in an odd way. You’re not sure what to make of it. You’ve spent a long time bonding, and you’ve come to (mostly) trust her, but that hasn’t had any tests yet.

>Ask for the taser.
>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”
>Gesture for her to lead the way.
>Run through the door and leave her locked in here.
>Something else

>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”
Violet pls, this isn't a smutbin.

>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”

>>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”
gotta assert our dominance and take command

>Gesture for her to lead the way.

>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”

Time to get the rest of the gang back together.

Let's see if Aria can't take us to the rest of our team that got captured with us.

>>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”

>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”
If Violet tazes us, I'm writing in to have Aria snap her neck, though

>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”
And now I need to sleep. Being a Euro sucks sometimes.

Have fun and don't fuck up too many rolls, guys.

Yeah I mean, it's really not a smart move on her part to taze us with a Legendary loyal to us right in front of her.

>Ignore it and go to Aria. ”Come on, let’s hurry.”
Violet, now is not the time for stupid shit

>don't fuck up too many rolls, guys.
who do you think we are?

Don't worry, by the time you're up, we'll have NOPE'd Hornbeam out of existence and be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

here's hoping. we have a championship match to settle, and then I think Kat wanted to set up a pokemon ranch or something?

There was that.

“Come on, let’s go.” You turn your back to her and head towards the door.

You hear another rapid snapping and tense up. Hands fall on your shoulders. Somehow, you don’t whip around and clock her or jump out of your skin.

“Kat. You need to learn to relax. We’ll make it out of here, save our Pokemon, and for Arceus’s sake have a long shower.” She whispers close. “Together.”

You catch up to Aria, who is holding the door open with one hand and keeping her eyes on the Team Imperium member.

“You can’t stop us.” There’s fear in his voice. “You can’t stop him.” He looks down. “We’ve tried. Just...give up. If you do what he says he won’t need to take you over.”

Violet scoots past you and starts rummaging his pockets and belt.

>Lock him and the KO’d guard up
>Have this one lead you where you want to go
>Try to convince him to help you
>Something else

>Lock him and the KO’d guard up

after that, tell Violet to quit it with the creepy shit

>Try to convince him to help you

>She whispers close. “Together.”
P l s

>Try to convince him to help you
If he doesn't want to just leave, we have things to do.

>Lock him and the KO’d guard up
we have shit to do

Also, what the fuck is up with Violet? Has she gone from normal crazy to yandere?

>Try to convince him to help you
>Have this one lead you where you want to go

I think she might just be trying her normal psych-out through seduction stuff? I mean she didn't have much reason to while we were locked in separate cells, but you'd think she would be smart enough to at least wait until this was done with first.

>Something else

Let's go and spring Violet's team since we know where they are.

Then, Aria can lead us to our team if they're not with Violet's.

Then we get the flute and none of this will have ever happened.

Also:

“Kat. You need to learn to relax. We’ll make it out of here, save our Pokemon, and for Arceus’s sake have a long shower.” She whispers close. “Together.”

If memory serves, the Bad End went something like this.

Soon as we see Robin, we're giving her a publicly indecent kiss in front of Violet.

Don't use the flute just yet. Things can always get worse.

Flute is last resort user, also I doubt we will have enough time to grab everything.

Even if they do, killing Hornbeam five minute before the whole shit show after the League Championship match will mean it never happened.

I think that bad end started quite a bit earlier than this, and didn't include Kat dating Robin (or Clair for that matter). Worry not, user.

I mean, we're still smooching the girls once we see them of course, it's been ages after all. But just because they deserve some kisses.

>Lock him and the KO’d guard up
>Head to get Violet's pokemon
>Tell Violet to cut the shit, this is a sneaking mission

>>Try to convince him to help you
We're his best bet at beating Hornbeam. If he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life under the thumb of a psychic psychopath, then now's the time to act.

Well, it's not exactly the same, but Violet hitting on us was the catalyst.

yeah, but in the Bad End we actually liked Violet

Modern Kat is a loving headstrong girl who can resist lewd cakes for her girls, user.

She has been hitting on us for awhile.

This is true.

Eh, I guess watching Violet desperately trying to get laid is amusing, anyway.

[Seems a bit split. You can try to convince the guard to help you, and that'd be an asset, but it will take some time and might not necessarily succeed. You could also just lock him up and get moving.

After this we'll vote on where you're going first.

Will you convince the guard, or leave him behind bars?]

>convince
>leave

>leave

We should start treating them like that, it'd be a nice turn-around on her seduction-attempts. Instead of acknowledging her trying to drive a wedge between Kat and Robin we should just act like she's super horny instead.

>leave

>leave

>>>convince

>convince

user...
I support this

Yeah, I can dig that.

Next time she does it:

"Do you need some time alone, or should your Blaziken help with that?"

>leave

>convince

i'm down with this. next step is trying to hook her up with various people. then sending escorts to her room. continue escalating until she stops

I still say we hook her up with Claire.

>tfw I'm the only convincer whose vote actually counts
T-that's okay, we didn't need his help anyway!

What on earth has Clair done to you, user? The poor girl.

I mean, beyond the fact that we've totally taken her already and we ain't giving anything up to Violet.

problem is, convincing takes time, and we're sort of on a crunch here

Yeah, we haven't followed the plan plenty of times now. For once let us actually listen to Robin's plan.

>leave

Besides, Robin's hot when she takes charge. It's a win-win!

Kat and Robin double-domming Clair and showing her the wonders of anal soon?

You have the guard go through the door you came from after Violet takes all his stuff. You just don’t have the time to try to convince him to help. When you turn around, Violet is right in your space. “Right choice. Pokemon will do what’s best, but people, especially ones like him, can’t be trusted. They always...” she runs a hand up your leg, “have an ulterior motive.”

“Down, girl.” You gently push her back. “Desperate, huh? We’ll find you someone after this is all over.”

She gives an exaggerated pout. “You’re too uptight. I’m just joking around. I see you like a sister. Besides, what possible reason could I have to steal you away from Robin?” She gives a smile at the obviousness. Her tone is in that weird spot where you’re not sure if she’s joking or being a little bitter.

She starts walking in the direction of the lab her Pokemon are in. That’s the least well guarded spot, from your understanding.

Your pokemon are stashed somewhere else, though. That should be a bit closer.

Of course, the safest thing to do would be to meet up where your friends probably are.

>Good idea.
>Wait, let’s get your Pokemon first
>Let’s head straight to Hornbeam’s lab
>Let’s go find our allies. They can help us.
>Something else

>Let’s go find our allies. They can help us.

I feel like you're giving me deja vu user. Granted I'm an anal afficionado and would not complain about more of it, but I'm pretty sure we did that and even Jeanine had a cameo appearance humiliating Clair!

>Wait, let’s get your Pokemon first
Much as she's still being mildly annoying, we're really gonna want all the firepower we can get.

>>Wait, let’s get your Pokemon first

I want to straight up mindbreak Clair. But a nice mindbreak, not a bad end one.

>Good idea.
I'll trust her. As long as she doesn't breach it.

>Good idea.
If it is least guarded, that might help us do other stuff as well.

Hang on:
>Wait, let’s get your Pokemon first

They're closer and Aria can take us to them.

Then we can get Violet's team and not have to worry about an ambush.

Clair is one of the few people who can stand up to Violet's bullshit.
Violet is one of the few people unhinged enough to keep Clair entertained / interested in the long run.
They both have slightly twisted perspective on interaction with both humans and pokemon. They can understand each other better than most other people would understand them.
Despite the adventures with Kat, Clair is still somewhat pent-up and has yet to fully embrace the call of the lewd.
Violet is enough of a shameless pervert to drag her through it.
They have lot in common professionally.
