Pokémon Umbral Discussion 6: Name That Nagarai!

[Menarker]

I was just thinking on a tangent. ^^;
PvP idea was totally natural given that's what pokemon trainers do.

A beach episode where everyone is hanging out and Fayoc interrupts or we're investigating pokemon related incidents near the beach is neat, but I'm not trying to make it only fanservice. (And at least it can make sense since water and ground type pokemons make sense). Maybe a hot spring episode would make sense if we went mountain trekking and we encountered fire and rock types along the way to fight. The hot water spring can be a slight diversion/reward near the end or during a resting point. We could have an episode dedicated to the variety of pokemon types to encounter in the environment and how Faynoc and any other big-bads are trying to wreck it or so.

As much as all the fan-service stuff is interesting, I wasn't intending to turn this RP into another cliche Shonen manga.

But yeah, don't want to lose the battles and still want a plot involved with stopping bad guys and saving the world somewhere down the line. :3 But no reason we can't play around with the idea. :3

AB wouldn't have the Kimonos if he wasn't already playing around with the idea.

Though I imagine love hotel would be pretty difficult to justify besides an illusion or trap, perhaps combined with some mind control.

But that might be stepping too much into lame manga/anime territory.

[Menarker]

A love hotel specifically would be tricky, but those places are usually found in cities and urban areas, which we could justify as a suitable location for electric and steel types.

Normal: Just about anywhere where environment isn't extreme.
Fire: Mountains/Volcanos and generally dry places.
Water: Lakes, Oceans, Rivers and other water places. Easy.
Grass: Forest, grassy area, nature sort of places with bits of green.
Electric: City locations as well as places with magnetic energy such as the magnet mountain Mt.Coronet (where Probopass and Magnezone evolves)
Ice: Tundra, REALLY high mountain areas and the far reaches of desolate places especially during winter. Those areas are rare, hence why ice tends to be paired with water typing which is much more common.
Ground: Underground, mountain areas as well as most other earthy locations such as outdoors in forests with rich nutrients or cities if there are underground locations or so.
Flying: Just about anywhere, although preference being someplace where there is a place to perch (so not in the middle of the ocean) and not someplace terribly harsh. (So not in a volcano or tundra).
Rock: Mountains and most places with ground types.
Fighting: May tend to hang in natural area for more aggressive/natural fighters or urban areas if they are disiplined fighters, although they may live in slightly harsher conditions to train themselves.
Dark: Dark and mysterious places typically.
Ghost: Dark mysterious places. Places with powerful spiritual essence or presence of souls.
Psychic: Generally scattered but might flock to more peaceful locations with fewer aggressive pokemons and calmer environment for peace of mind.
Bug: Just about anywhere where anything can critter and crawl. Cities, natural areas, but tends to prefer less harsher climates.
Steel: Cities/urban environment. Also rocky locations like mountains for metal/minerals.
Poison: Nature for natural poisons such as snakes and bugs, heavily polluted urban areas and volcanos for sludge and muck and smog, and ghostly area for overall spooky unpleasant atmosphere.
Dragons: Rare all around. Mythical hotspots?

(Exceptions to be expected due to type combination and other factors)

But yeah, Love hotel seems too much on the wrong side of the scale. At this point at least.

Well, the demonic thing would be less ideological and more pragmatic. Impact wants the power, and he wants it simply for the purpose of obtaining his ideological goal. He probably wouldn't go near the demonic stuff if he didn't have a very good use indeed for the power.
And anyway, his becoming-demonic wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. I'm thinking of something along the lines of corruption, though perhaps more subtle.

Anyway...
Oh, yeah, Pierce is giving Impact orders now. Nicely done. Nicely done.

...

Pierce is so fucking dead.
Not right now, mind you, in fact, Impact's gonna be following the orders given to him, simply for the sake of the mission. But I would remind Draconion that my character has a fully loaded revolver, and his character's most vital organ is a chunk of watery protein encased in what might as well be crunchy candy coating for all the protection it'll give against bullets.

[Dracorion]

Hey, by your own admission Pierce is an untouchable badass.

And Pierce isn't scared of Impact because he assumes Impact is smart enough to know that Pierce's pokemon would tear him apart and pee on the remains if he killed him.

And I just couldn't resist seeing Impact's reaction. His head might explode.

[Menarker]

... Hardly reassuring in that the fact is that Pierce and Impact would both be dead and Pierce's pokemon gone rogue.

The game would go on with only Charlotte, Renny, Matthias and AB's NPC.

[Dracorion]

If it comes down to it, Pierce will call Impact's bluff. The guy will have to decide if killing Pierce will be worth dying himself and never realizing his goals.

If it's not a bluff, Pierce figures what the hell.

Thats a good way for them to get kicked in the face. Most of them are too intelligent to to do it anyways. Here's how I would describe Charlotte's hounds, in terms of Renny hugging them:

• Buck (Arcanine): Hyperactive good dog, if a bit dumb. Would happily accept
  a hug from Renny.

• Pike(Manetric): Stoic and indifferent. Would not fight off a hugging Renny, but would not be enthusiastic about the hug.

• Sol-leks(Houndoom): He seems like a snarling hell-beast, but thats a bit of a facade to seem intimidating. Sort of like a jerk with a heart of gold pokemon.
  If hugged by Renny, he would push Renny away and growl at him.

• Spitz(Mightyena): Hostile and mean. Resentful towards just about everyone, including Charlotte. Would bite Renny with next to no warning if hugged.

He won't be holding a gun to Pierce's head anytime soon. But he's been rather badly insulted, and he'll probably get revenge somehow. Perhaps demonically.

Anyway, time to post.

[Menarker]

I might as well list my pokemon's traits and personalities as well. :3

Togekiss: Near impossible for Togekiss to think of a nasty or naughty thought, making this one nearly as naive and innocent as Renny himself, but given how he was imprinted since birth, that's hardly a surprise. Love, peace and compassion is its creed although it is rather defensive of Renny although it does express a sense of regret for harming others during the course of this job.

Swampert: "I'M GRRRR, baby! VERY GRRR!"
Basically, Swampert is like the big-brother and homie and very proud to show off his overall strength. Reliable supporter who is eager to reassure Renny that he is ready for more although he does get exasperated when Renny goes into his more naive phases.

Magnezone: "Insert Personality."
Easily the most neutral of the group, it also one of the most reliable because fear, worry and most negative emotions seem to rarely plague it while still being happy with the simple stuff. Pretty lazy about expressing its "emotions" or "thoughts", it pretty much is willing to hover around doing nothing in particular until told to do something. As long accepted that Renny, despite being a knowledgeable trainer, is an eccentric young lad and thus is trying to learn to adapt.

Umbreon: Heart-warming but no-nonsense matron of the group. Doesn't believe in cuddling all the time and is slightly aloof, but is always there and most affectionate when the situation is at its worst. Straight forward and dislike meaningless delays or belaboring of a tedious matter.

Shaymin: In land form, she's affectionate but shy with a tendency to refer to herself only as part of the group. However, in sky form she totally "in your face" just to get Renny's attention. "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!" The fact that Shaymins have telepathy and that Renny pays his pokemon plenty of attention makes this a relatively easy task most of the time.


EDIT: Omake!

Renny is with his family in a faintly rural environment with a few trees not too far from town. His pokemon are scattered on the grass, relaxing lazily. Renny and Togekiss decided to look for berries to pick in some of the bushes in the area. A few minutes later of walking...

"Hmmm, ugh, hmmm, that's so good."
"You get me so hot and wild when you're like this."

Renny couldn't tell what was going on, but he heard the voices coming a short distance away. The rustle of bushes and suddenly a leg stuck out and suddenly a naked guy fell out of the bushes and jumped back in as the poor innocent ones ran for their sanity. Renny ran back to his parents totally shocked and dismayed while Togekiss rejoined the other pokemons.

Swampert: "Oh god, what is going on with Renny NOW!?"
Togekiss: *Struggles to find not so naughty words...* "It was... It was... a dance in the bushes!"
Shaymin: *Eyes arch* "What?"
Togekiss: "Snake... in the grass!"
Swampert: "What are you going on about now?"
Togekiss: "Buh... buh... Beast with two backs!"
Swampert: *Wisen up* "Oh, watering the lawn?"
Magnezone: "1 + 1 = 3?"
Shaymin: "Planting seeds?"
Umbreon interjected, feeling cranky from the ruckus.
Umbreon: "Oh for crying out loud, it's just SEX, that's all! NOW SHUT UP!"
*Everyone quieted down as Umbreon returned to her nap, having ended the whole thing in an instant.
Swampert: *Whispering* "You know that she has been acting weird since Renny taught her Nasty Plot yesturday... Just so you know."
