Speaker: Hello everyone and welcome to password time. My name is Dakota your PM your DM your GM And sitting to my left is somebody who owns a PSP. It's me, Evelyn. It's, uh...
Speaker: It's an interesting PSP because it actually has... um It has red and blue... controllers on the sides, and they come out. They detach from each other.
Speaker: So... I don't know, I mean it It doesn't really, it doesn't look like a typical PSP, but... You know, that's what I ordered on Amazon, so I i suppose it is one.
Speaker: Um... And I've got someone with me. Who... is um currently taking a part. all of his consoles and trying to combine them into The ultimate... Mega console.
Speaker: Oh yeah, now, see, you thought the DS having two screens was good enough? But then I decided, what if I just took my Switch screen and my Switch 2 screen and added those to my 3DS?
Speaker: And so now I've just got like a 5D... screen going on here. So hold on, what is that? It's amazing. it's It runs like a dream. I can sort of run all of my games on it.
Speaker: It's amazing. I'm Eli. and sitting across from me is someone who just Took a hammer. to his Xbox because he felt like it.
Speaker: Funny enough, I did have to burn an Xbox. You'll never guess why. Wait, did you actually? Unless you listened to the last episode on Patreon.
Speaker: Yeah, if you want to figure out why I had a... Why I had to throw my old Xbox some. wand into the fire. that's that's why that's why yeah i actually did have to destroy an xbox Well, did you actually like burn it?
Speaker: I thought you just chucked it out or something. No, we burned it. Oh my god! I didn't realize you guys like threw in the pits of hell. Jesus. Oh no, I'll watch that thing go on flame. if you I was angry and I was done with the day.
Speaker: Good grief. I should not be laughing at that, but that's such a sadden - Yeah. It's me, Jake Rogue. Me and my character both have tragedies happen in our houses. Uh -huh. Yeah, you know, that's something I've realized ah a bit ago, but we all changed our usernames in Discord to reflect that episode on Patreon, which I just want to point out I haven't put on Patreon yet. So... ah Literally nobody in the Discord knows why.
Speaker: Why all of our names are so vastly different all of a sudden? If you're in our Discord, you probably can guess what my issue was. I'm gonna go... I'm gonna go put that on Patreon once we finish recording here.
Speaker: Uh... But yes, this is going to be a bit of a shorter episode. We're on a little bit of a time crunch, so... Uh... We're going to get through what we can, but we do have a hard cap, so if you hear me try and speed things up near at the end, that's why.
Speaker: um Also, Ah fuck, where was I? I was gonna say something. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask, how many of you guys actually got a Switch 2? Because i it sounds like Eli did.
Speaker: Oh yeah. No. Nope. not me right i'm not i'm not gonna pay something where the games cost just as much as the console So hold on how long have you had your Switch 2, level 1.
Speaker: Um, a few months.
Speaker: Yep, that sounds about right. And you didn't even start playing Pocopia yet? Not yet. I want to... I... Um...
Speaker: I want to actually like transfer all the data from my Switch before I obviously before i start using it. Um... And I just haven't had a time. I haven't found a time to like sit down and do that.
Speaker: Okay. And I've been quite busy with like life, so I've been procrastinating. I'm procrastinating playing video games. That's sad.
Speaker: That's the thing about it. That's a new level.
Speaker: All right, well with that being said why don't we go ahead and roll for recap which is something I actually almost forgot to do
Speaker: I feel like this is a very ADHD thing to do. Oh, look, my bucket of dice right here. ah My little tin of dice. I got a three. One. Alright.
Speaker: Alright. Another one? Four. Two. Wait, did everyone get a different number? Yeah. Nice. Recap DM, man. Recap.
Speaker: I wonder what the odds are of that, of us perfectly getting different numbers. uh It sure is one number to the fourth. Is that right?
Speaker: wouldn't it be like four one over four to the power of um
Speaker: Four. Wait. times the number of possible ways, which is 24. it would be a hundred percent times half Wait, no, times three quarters. So three quarters. With how much we ask...
Speaker: With how much we talk about um probability and what the percent chance is, we really need a gambling episode. So you have four rolls. No, we don't. We do not need anything to do with Gabley. We need our a casino episode. I need something to do with all this money. I got too much money. I need to gamble away.
Speaker: Four factorial divided by four. That sounds like a bad idea. Okay. I'm not even going to try and compute that right now. Sounds too boring. so Okay. Oh, I'm supposed to be doing a recap.
Speaker: Yes. Oh. So... Fuck, what did happen last time? You guys were in the basement. It was a, uh, it was a planning episode. So you guys... I could literally summarize this in like two sentences. You guys, uh...
Speaker: You guys talked to Mayor Maynott. You guys showed him around the base and stuff. and Alfred went out to get a GBA for...
Speaker: Okay. For may or may not. Hold on, Jake. I'm pretty sure there's a command you can do in the Discord just to calculate that. So the fact that you put that in the... Discord is is actually kind of funny That's why I said first person not if you can.
Speaker: Okay. So... you put it It's in the locker room. Oh, gotcha. I copy and paste what you put put in Locker Room. Oh.
Speaker: over. to the power of four. We don't have time for this man. Keep going, man. Oh. I don't remember how you do math with that then. Okay. Because our bot can do math.
Speaker: We're always going to get on tangents and stuff. socially soaked. just Jake, are you trying to do it now? No. can you so I can hear someone muttering under the breath.
Speaker: so Okay, that's cute. Okay, it does come out to the same... I already calculated it a different way. I calculated it the way that you were... talking about doing it.
Speaker: of like starting at the one and then it comes out to 9 .375 percent Oh. So that's not so bad. I'll give that like once or twice an arc. Hey.
Speaker: Yes. What is with the you and gambling today? Uhuh. Oh no... I'm a gambling addict. Sure. Okay. so anyway recap so Uh, we...
Speaker: You guys... And ah we're trying to basically get... may or may not back up to speed. I am unsure if you guys have recruited him or not. You guys seem very ambiguous on what you guys were telling him. I'm assuming you guys are planning on keeping him around.
Speaker: But... ah You guys showed them around. And... Eventually, you guys... Um... I think he asked if he could stay around. I'm just going to assume that he is part of the crew now. We talked about it. we We talked about what it would mean for him to join the guild.
Speaker: And like, how... And Walt just slightly suggested to everyone what would happen if he didn't.
Speaker: so uh Right, so... Jesus yeah you guys discussed all about the legendaries and stuff and what your guys's mission is and you guys also discussed what your next plans are gonna be Uh... What you guys settled on is that you guys are going to travel from Gale Beach where you guys are. to Mist City.
Speaker: And... of Ventures power single one I don't have the map pulled up, hold on. Uh, I never have the map pulled up. Um, parent messages. there's So you guys are going to the little bay there in Ventus and you guys are going to take a boat up to Tenebrous City Bay.
Speaker: or Tenebrous Bay, into Tenebrous City. to commandeer a boat that is more well -suited for winter environments. Winter boating. You guys are - because you guys are then going to take that boat and go over to Shivertree City. uh which you guys found is the tiny little island in the bottom left of the outcast region So...
Speaker: That is your guys' current plans and... Alfred went up to get a GPA for may or may not he came back And I don't think I've handled this room yet, but... uh
Speaker: I don't remember what you guys are doing with Alfred. Are you guys taking him with you? I wouldn't know that because... I... Alfred said that he had some kind of boating experience, but I don't know if you guys are taking him with you or not.
Speaker: Boo! I assume so, since we're taking their boat. No, flame packs don't have a bow. That was discussed. Yeah. We talked about that.
Speaker: but we we do not have a company boat because Conveniently. Near fire types. Yep, biotypes in one. and one psychic type yeah ps like and technically a dragon type but also the psychic type is a horse And horses don't really like.
Speaker: open water.
Speaker: You can leave. them to water but you can't make them drink. Exactly. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drown. You can't make it swim.
Speaker: There you go. Can't make it swim. So... Uh, that's your guys' current plans. Um... May or may not is going to be accompanying you And... I believe that is where we left off. Is there anything else I missed?
Speaker: I don't, yeah, I think that's it, right? Yeah, I think that's about it. just we I'm pretty sure we did do some sort of...
Speaker: Like... semi -formal bring may or may not into the girl. Oh, oh yeah, he doesn't have a patch yet. That's something I forgot about. Oh, I'll bring that up. So...
Speaker: Hmm. Okay. Um, or well with that then I guess ah Jake could go ahead and give us a random move and we'll get started with the story.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: i always forget my um
Speaker: Dude he needs to pull. Trying to pull up his character see if he's gonna pick another one of his moves.
Speaker: Let's... Flame Wheel on in! Flamewheel... Eli, donut doesn't Bruce have Flamewheel? Uh, I... do have Flame Wheel. Hey! We can actually Flame Whale on in! Yeah.
Speaker: Nice. I don't know if it's a good plan considering we're... traveling to the beach. and probably Not already on beach.
Speaker: leaving a nice trail of fire in our week. Wait, I don't... I got a question. I've had this question since last session but I forgot to answer it. Let's say we have a speedboat.
Speaker: And I wanted a speedboat ski. Would I need the skis or could my unstoppable skill just let me ski my own? Would that even work? No, we talked... I know, I know.
Speaker: I know you said it like every 12 steps and that's it. or like the rule of cool like as long as it's not bs I mean, if you can't find a way to... do some cool shenanigans I might allow it.
Speaker: But if you're asking if you can just run across water, definitely no. But no, I'm just saying if I ski, if I skied. Oh, if you ski, yeah, you should just be able to like ski on the back of a boat or something.
Speaker: Yeah, as long as you're connected the boat i always gonna be like what up Would it basically just me skiing on cement just like scraping up my feet Oh, because the water's like ground. yeah Yeah. oh my god you need to get rollerblades instead of water skis It's gonna be...
Speaker: It's going to be Aokiji at that point. I love that. Okay, so. We are starting with you guys in the basement, and, um... Alfred walks up to Mayor Maynard and he presents him with uh, a blue and Tan? Whatever the accent color on a Lucario is. Yeah, go Tannish. uh He gives it to MeraMera along with a badge.
Speaker: Uh... So... This badge here is going to let you travel back to this base. Right here. And, uh... This GPA here will let you communicate with everyone else in the party. So Here you go. He hands it out to him, and Mary Maynard's like...
Speaker: Uh, thanks. Yeah, okay. And he stops it in his pocket. Also, something I was... um thinking about the other day. is you guys are right when i wendy you said that I... 180 to his voice. Because I forgot he had like a super high -pitched squeaky voice.
Speaker: yeah guys first man well I assume that changed when he became a Lucario. It's like the why not had the squeaky voice. I think he had a deeper... but he's super energetic voice afterwards but i could be wrong yeah there is a huge contrast in the voice i did for him but i like this one better for him so i'm sticking with it
Speaker: so He did also want that GBA so that he could... ah Called some of the other officials of the town did tell them that, hey, he's going to be out of business. How does that work? extended wave That's right. how does that How does that work if they don't have GBAs?
Speaker: Uh... Who didn't have his GBA? like he They... they... I always forget GBAs are more widely known now. with ad gbas but Since we kind of took him out of town rather abruptly,
Speaker: His GBA was still in. his office or something. i also get gma's have been like a been a thing for like a week now in the game verse Yeah, I wonder...
Speaker: I do wanna... I do want to touch on that, but I believe I mean... So originally the GBA was supposed to be a pro - it was literally called a prototype. uh product.
Speaker: uh i feel like that kind of just morphed into it being a hey this is a new product that has just now been released into the wild yeah for convenience sake when we first got it you said like no one else has this but then slowly mayor's had it and then Yeah, it makes sense that like government officials would be among the first people to...
Speaker: Have these considering how revolutionary they are corruption Yeah, I'm gonna say... that people with if People with reasons to have them are the ones who are initially getting rolled out for. so The wealthy get it.
Speaker: Joe Schmoe on the street isn't going to have a GPA, but... oh fuck and what about ja or Wait, but Joe Trash does? Johnny Trash does? wait joe Wait, he does. Johnny Trash does have a GBA.
Speaker: Oh shit, that puts a hold on my argument. Johnny Trash found a GBA in some rich person's garbage. Listen, listen. Johnny Trash is just the king of all the dumps. So that's why he's the king of all the dumps.
Speaker: no i love it he found it in the dump someone went threw one away because it wasn't working properly And then he picks it up. Yeah, he found one in the dump because he works at the dump.
Speaker: or his dad works at the dump. So that's why he has that so elsenu the dump The dad is Johnny Trash. The son is the, one as the um... I forget the name of the sign.
Speaker: That's not... No, I thought the sun was Johnny Trash. No, ah my character was a Garbodor and I named him Johnny Trash. Oh, well, we were definitely caught, I thought.
Speaker: Maybe we were just actually no, i I think oh wait. No, I think we changed it. We changed it oh or The original character was a Garbodor, but we changed it for the sun.
Speaker: Yeah, and there we go. The Trubbish. trubbish is the giant yeah because i remember you talking about how he was like holding it with his mouth Yes. Well, hold on. Even though he has limbs, but they're like trash bags.
Speaker: Hold on, does the name Joey Trash sound familiar to any of you guys? I think that is that's the dad. I think that's the dad's name. Joey Trash. yeah Johnny and Joey. around Oh, I don't fucking remember. Yeah, Joey is the...
Speaker: Right. Hey, you know what? Can you look up? I... um I don't know if john Giant Trash has made it to the website yet. Oh. nope I don't know. I don't know. There's going to be a lot of characters who are not going to be at the website because this show has so many established characters.
Speaker: Some of them which I don't think we can even put on the website. Ahem, ahem, Joe fuck. Who is an established character. He's a's a good guy. Good man. Good man.
Speaker: So... Right. ah The mayor looks back at you guys and is like, ah I'm going to go take a call for a minute. I'll be right back. I'm going to go talk to my assistant real quick and let him know what's up.
Speaker: Good on you for remembering numbers. Good on him. and uh yeah he walks away and is just standing on the side of the room so
Speaker: Alfred looks at you guys and he's just like, so what's your guys' plan now? You guys heading out to Mist City? Do you guys need anything before you head out? Oh.
Speaker: Boca Burgers. We supply man I um... I... Don't think we have any more Boca Burgers. Yeah, we we it we ended that merger.
Speaker: Well, ever since Ms. Flameback went away, we haven't been able to keep the uh, we haven't been able to keep the sponsorship going, so. Unfortunately, they stopped sending us bokeh burgers in the glow compound. What do we know? What don do we know? He's just hoarding them. He's like in his room. He's eating all of them. got we just cut to alfred's room it's just full of it it has like the mocha burger crown and everything in there no no no no no it's like a in spongebob with the krabby patty vault But it's just my broken burgers.
Speaker: Oh. It just says, Alfred's only. I was thinking Alfred just sent the last pallet that came in straight to Sammy. ah Yeah, that that's sweet.
Speaker: So... Over in the corner, you can hear ah Mayor Maynard is getting into a bit more of a heated discussion, and eventually he's like, What do you mean? And she's... continuing to yell into the microphone of the GBA. and eventually he hangs up the phone and stomps over to you guys.
Speaker: Uh, so it turns out that my assistant doesn't believe I'm actually me, and, uh... Silver seems to still be attempting to take over the city as mayor. What? oh we We showed so so much proof it was you. I have a video!
Speaker: The assistant's son. He saw us do it! I'm not entirely sure because I'm on your guys' side. I'm pretty sure he should be...
Speaker: Yeah, he saw him. Oh, my gosh. he He got paid off. He's getting paid off. Well, that was my first thought initially, but... ah i mean he's still in office and i don't actually know who he's answering to other than if if If not me. So I believe my assistant would be the one in charge.
Speaker: So... I'm not entirely sure what that means. I'm about to post this video of you becoming a Lucario on Pokétube. Okay, I'm about to make this go viral. My my second thought is that his views may be aligned with this silver person.
Speaker: Which would be very troubling because he is definitely in a position of power So if that's case or if we got paid on he's your bodyguard They don't have power. They just guard. and Well, he's my he was my assistant not a bodyguard why was he black why was he in Why was he in front of the...
Speaker: Two people. The two people saw it happen, the bodyguard and the assistant. both while well the assistant doesn't get much power they just do the grunt work if they don't have any connections he's got about it's it's like a presidential thing like i'm the president he is vice president that's kind of how he runs things vice mayor so you mean he's the vice mayor vice mayor Yes, sir, Vice Mayor.
Speaker: We'll go with that. It's like the anime like... This was never brought up for these reasons. So anyway, what I'm trying to get at is silver is not in office at all current. I think she's Using my assistant as like a puppet So it's one of those kind of...
Speaker: Pulling the strings in the background kind of thing. So Do you have any allies in the... in the city council who know what's going on? I can talk to them, but they do not have GBA, so that'd be something I'd have to go in person for. it and If... I'm too late. My assistant may have talked to them already. And try and if he's trying to get silver...
Speaker: into the Mayorhood. Or if he's trying to put himself in Mayorhood, either way, we've got issues. i Don't know if we're gonna be able to get back there in time to actually figure that shit out, but... You can't even send a letter.
Speaker: I'll be honest. like It hasn't been, how long has it been? Um... for this For the convenience of where I want the story to go, I'm going to say it's more than an hour.
Speaker: Oh yeah. There's this um... there's this flying rodent pokemon who just who like delivers letters for us um occasionally pops up and...
Speaker: so Flying rodent. You could send them a letter. Uh, yeah, yeah. You mean the emulga? pets Yeah, the emol - right, the emolga.
Speaker: it's a flight It's a person not a rodent! Yeah, yeah. I'm a rodent. A ratatouille a rodent, not us. It's like if you're calling a human a rodent, then you're a human. Yeah, that's like walking up ti that's like what comes to the and he's like, oh yes, you are the vermin mailman. like yeah You are lesser than me.
Speaker: umm nothing about Nothing about the word rodent implies being less than. I'm a rodent Pokemon. I'm a Pikachu.
Speaker: Her cheeks start to glow red. and sparkle wait i'll be honest questions wait ah how does pokemon know the word pokemon because that's what humans gave the pokemon as a name They had their actual names.
Speaker: Okay, well actually, like, pocket monsters? Well, I guess in this game there's Pokemon given. you know what to be fair how do humans know we were called humans so that's but that's that argument Yeah, and also I think...
Speaker: Arceus refers to that like there's other like legendaries refer to other Pokemon as Pokemon in like the movies and stuff. Fair enough. So...
Speaker: To be honest. This... Plan that. Silver has is completely useless. We have video proof. And i we have a man that's in the city. I can send this video proof too.
Speaker: I mean... waiting for I'm more confused by what Silver thinks. She's gonna get... out of I mean it's not like they have an army of this city
Speaker: Yeah. To be honest, is this town didn't have much going for it, so... I mean, it is the capital of the Lux region. Yeah, I feel like there should be a lot of like electricity and electronic device is there.
Speaker: Oh, then they got ruined. Even if they don't have GPAs, they should have, like, TVs. They can watch they can watch your for that tsunami hit. Oh my gosh. Imagine the problems they had Oh yeah.
Speaker: Good point. through so may or may not like Honestly, As bad as this is, I can use this situation. for Silver silver Lining. um ah I want to join you guys, and I've just been handed an opportunity to relieve myself of duty for a short while.
Speaker: Um... You were saying that these orbs like have magical powers or powers of the legendaries or something? Is there any way that these orbs could, I don't know, bring peace to the city again or repair the damage that was done to...
Speaker: the city from like that tsunami that just set. Repair the Probably not faster than the rebuilding effort would be.
Speaker: I feel like we might do more harm than good with the orbs. Theoretically, maybe. Right. I feel like...
Speaker: I don't think we do more than if a psychic crew came in.
Speaker: My guess is that just because they're like magical doesn't mean that They can do anything. Man, if only we had a Hooper ring and just magically get gold out of nowhere. If only...
Speaker: I don't think we're supposed to know what Hoopa is. I'm quoting the movie of the Hooper movie where he just got... mountains of gold out of nowhere Yep. a I'm thinking of like...
Speaker: I'm thinking of the Not a Scratch character. oh We don't know about. Yeah, I don't think we're supposed to know about Hoopa. But in character.
Speaker: Yeah. You're not supposed to know about any legendaries.
Speaker: besides like one
Speaker: So... Um... So, after a little bit of... I have you guys talking, may or may not, it's like so... What's in this for me then because obviously I've want to help you guys out but Uh...
Speaker: We can help you stay in power.
Speaker: I mean... of that's the Okay, so that is the least I would ask of you guys, is you guys kind of... Fucked over my position but by bringing this into my city Bringing what into your city?
Speaker: I don't understand. You know she was planning this either way, right? Yeah, we didn't... Leave silver anywhere. So...
Speaker: The minimum I... would ask of you guys is to be able to put me back in a position of power. This man does not understand the situation with us. What do you think he is?
Speaker: You guys are doing with the legendaries. You guys are dealing with, uh... and powers beyond what my own position holds.
Speaker: The very least I can ask is that you... Now, I'm not saying directly put me back in bearhood, but if there's any way you guys can... help mitigate the damage that was done if you guys can.
Speaker: not, like... I don't know, just knock. my assistant out of Out of uh... Can I? out of power or get silver the hell out of my city. like Any of those things would help. i mean it Oh no, we're like turning into the CIA here. Silver will definitely be out of your city.
Speaker: Bye. that that is a guarantee that if we succeed in what we're doing Silver will be out of the picture. Okay, well... um That is definitely in my alignment, so... I believe I will be joining you and this band here.
Speaker: And until this is further resolved. This made Lily win, um... Hey, I know our plan is to save the world, but That's not enough for me. You're not doing enough for me. Can you help me get my power back?
Speaker: He's concerned about his city, okay? He is! Oh my gosh! He is a mayor! He's corrupt! What? Good players are concerned about their cities.
Speaker: i That's kind of the angle I'm going for as I'm trying to make him more concerned about his own people rather than the world as a whole. Because he sees them as like, I don't know, like family or whatever. Whatever the fuck a good mayor is supposed to do.
Speaker: Listen, we have... um We have like... people in the guild who who have lots of different talents like who can You know. Like...
Speaker: what do we have we've we've got we've got performers we've got like people who can Do grunt work. like we have We have the resources to help you.
Speaker: Hey, uh... do you know what the um what the assistant pokemon was Wasn't it a Wobbuffet? It might have been a... The mayor was a why not. No.
Speaker: Either the assistant or the bodyguard was a Wobbuffet. I know that one of those two was the bodyguard was. Bodyguard was. oh Okay, wait so it in that case, I want to... Oh, wait, did you did you think of it?
Speaker: What? Sorry, it sounds like I cut you off Do you know which one it is? Was it a the pig? I think it was a Wobbuffet. Let me...
Speaker: We have to look at the transcripts. Did we did you even say the, um... It's name I don't know. And if not, it's becoming somewhat of a major character and I want to make a Pokemon for it. I've been dancing around it.
Speaker: ah Because I didn't have something. You know, so i if you wanna keep... Okay. oh it is i was gonna say if you want to keep up with the agenda making another evolution Okay. Well, the funny thing is, I do want to put one Eeveelution.
Speaker: uh one of every evolution that you eventually over the course of the show and i was going to put him as a vaporion otherwise because i don't think we have a vaporion I think we're missing Vaporeon and Flareon. I think.
Speaker: Do we have a Jolteon? Yes, the Jolteon was a very minor character. When you guys were outside of the College of Vulcanburg. there was a jolteon you guys bumped it too oh yeah and the lithium was the drug dealer Yeah. Yes. Oh, yeah, he was. He was. Chai. Chai. Try the Leafeon. And then Sylveon was a...
Speaker: uh the desk clerk at the... end No, Sylveon. was a At least it's silver. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker: yeah it's confusing there's silver the espion and then there's nobody the sylveon Oh, the Town Hall. That's what it was. It was the Town Hall of Vulcanburg or something like that. Vulcanburg or whatever the hell it was.
Speaker: there say i will fucked up All I'm missing is an Eevee now. Oh yeah, I knew this thing about Eevee. Eevee and a Vaporeon is what we have. Do we have an Eevee? And a Flareon, I think. And a Flareon, yeah.
Speaker: Gotta catch them all. You know, if you want to keep up the agenda for Flareons, make it like a rich asshole. I mean, I could. That's most Flareons I've seen like made in shows. They're usually they are stuck up. I'm thinking of the... yeah Pokemon animation for the...
Speaker: The little show they do on YouTube. But they had the Flareon Act all high and no hold. That's great. High and mighty like a dude. Yeah, area yeah, yeah, yeah. Do not know what you guys are talking, but but you guys got my interest peaked.
Speaker: that the youtube the official pokemon youtube channel has been making little like pokemon shorts like old old school cartoon style shorts Oh, okay.
Speaker: it's great and although i one they're a lot more violent than you think they'd be A lot more violent than do you think they'd be.
Speaker: Okay, so um Right. ah Okay, so... bubba bubba da da da da lucario has joined your party so um you guys are now a traveling band of This is the second time you guys have picked up another member of your party and that's a Lucario.
Speaker: I mean, so Lucario is Z, but still. What can I what can i say? The Lucario line is just the GOAT.
Speaker: Man, wait, you guys really have just been upgrading your Lucario line. First you had a Riolu, then a Lucario, then a Mega Lucario. like yeah you We also had Zekrom the Lucario for a little while. All we need is the other version of Lucario Mega and we have them all.
Speaker: normal all right i'll keep that in mind i guess we're just gonna randomly see the pal world version of lucario Oh my god, I'm going to run into this. We ever seen Veronica?
Speaker: No. Um, Magcargo. I think they said Veronica. well I did say Veronica. Veronica is your mother. yeah Yeah, I know. bro That's right. we We just need Veronica to Mega Evolve into the regular Mega. No, she does not need Mega volve wolf need to make me Evolve.
Speaker: Is she just gonna become a better singer mega evolving? I have a question. Where is Blair? She's back in Volkenberg, right? I thought she was studying something.
Speaker: Yeah, I thought after we got her glasses and she was something She was studying the location of... Yeah she was looking for the city but you guys figured that out already. I'll tell her where it is and just like so she can do something else So, but the question is, was she translating the LGM's Guide to the Galaxy or was she literally just doing research?
Speaker: finish I finished translating it. I think she was translating and then did the... I think she was doing the research and then translating. I don't remember. If she did finish translating then there is...
Speaker: Mmm. I can't say that. Go ahead. Go ahead. Tell us. No, no, no. no No, do I will say there's something very... ah I can't say outright without leading you guys on too much, but there is something that happened in that last boss battle that you guys have completely forgotten about.
Speaker: Well, oh. No. Well, I mean, I haven't noted down about the soul stone being broken. Okay, well there you go. That's what I was talking about. I just don't. we We don't know anything else about the Soul Stone.
Speaker: So stone. It's a soul crystal, but yeah. A sold soul gem. Yeah, I think I called it a Soul Temp, but we'll call it something else if we don't want to steal from Skyrim. Was that gem like made made from a pokemon soul?
Speaker: I don't know. That's something you guys will have to figure out. Um, Anyway, So since she's up there, I'm not using her. um So...
Speaker: Awesome!
Speaker: Is it Adriana? air Arabella. Arabella comes sprinting down the stairs. As much as hey a horse can sprint down the stair - Wait!
Speaker: I think were no stairs because... Yeah. Like it's just one floor because of that. Shit, I'm trying to find one character to use Every character I'm taking over is... She comes down the acorn stairlift.
Speaker: What? What is it just a random elevator in the place? For her. There's not. Because she's not clued into the both Project Cleanback.
Speaker: Yeah, she's not clued into any of this yet. Nope. like completely we've been trying to keep her out of this because you know she's too innocent
Speaker: Keep the child safe as long as possible. Okay, so who's still at the base? We've got Veronica. Alfred Arabella. And, uh, Selina? don't remember. salonica and Veronica the wolf dude are gone.
Speaker: two What about Bree and Vince? The one that was not captured. yet. uh a bit Yeah, our abyss and... so abyss is still abyss is still out looking for people the last you heard They're looking for Bree. They're looking for Bree.
Speaker: Okay, we're gonna go talk to the rescue team. Yeah. so Uh... Okay, um... Alright, I'm gonna have Jeremy come down. So Jeremy comes down the stairs holding a newspaper.
Speaker: And he gets down the stairs like, hey guys. ah have you Have you guys, like, seen this shit lately? He's Jeremy again. The lichen rock. Your father -in -law.
Speaker: he Right? i He knows who Jeremy is. He just mentioned him. He, he...
Speaker: I didn't remember the name. yeah Oh, okay. I thought you were trying to focus me. You didn't know the name. Okay, so Jeremy comes ah down and he shows I'm gonna say Bruce the newspaper is like Have you guys seen this shit?
Speaker: and you see ah the front page newspaper for Gale Beach News. and it shows the destruction of New Shimmer City. Apparently they're like trying to appoint a new mayor or something after this destruction. The old mayor resigned or something.
Speaker: He's like Nowhere to be seen? the whole Half the city's destroyed? And I want you to hold perception as you look at the newspaper. This is fast mail for an hour. This is fast for an hour mail.
Speaker: Yeah, this is some crazy speed on my newspaper. Also, only like four blocks of the city were destroyed by that tsunami. i don't know if anything only the slums were hit like none of the infrastructure was probably it only the slums Alright, chalk it down to exaggeration or whatever, but...
Speaker: This is some great ape propaganda. Is there like a line of succession? like Did the vice mayor just automatically - it would go vice mayor for like only for like a few months until the new mayor is elected and that's it yeah And thenella they're not allowed to change it or hire or fire any government officials while they're...
Speaker: The temporary mayor. They can't fire or hire anyone. Oh. I mean, I imagine like every city does it differently, but like... if that's No, that's that's usually the basis for mayors. they cant so So people can't like...
Speaker: It's so people don't Like, I don't know how to say it. Don't kill off the mayor. just and put all their friends in power. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: Anyway, I got... I got Nate. You got an 8? I need ah i need e Eli to roll Perception because he's showing you the newspaper.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: That's an 11. Yeah. 11 will do it. East on the front pick. On the front page you see a headline that just says New Shimmer City hit by tsunami.
Speaker: and there's an article below stating pretty much everything you guys have already been told but in the picture you see a ah The Vice President Wobbuffet, and behind him is a Malabar.
Speaker: as he's giving a press conference about the destruction of... What do you mean, man?
Speaker: Yes, the vice mayor. Wow, that guy - So he becomes there the mayor of the Malamar as the vice mayor? No, the Malamar's controlling him. The Malamar is controlling the Wobbuffet.
Speaker: Just my friend Malamar. Yes. No. Malamar is so creepy every second. No, I love I love in K but Malamore scares me so much Just as bad as Hypno.
Speaker: Uh... It's very creepy, that's for sure. Yep.
Speaker: Bye. Good. Why is there a Malamar there?
Speaker: What does it the do the eyes look any different from the picture like are they dip are they lighter or darker? Then everyone else is in the picture. Because the eyes do glow blue.
Speaker: The eyes do glow blue when they control them. I did not know that. Go ahead and roll perception. It's just the fact is their eyes would look different from the black. I guess. Yeah. That's not really something you have to, that's not.
Speaker: It's a black and white image. I'm gonna say that... well If their eyes were blue, it would either be even lighter than everyone else's eyes or darker. Well, I'm trying to think of how to describe it. I'm gonna say that Okay, I'm just gonna say yes. The Malamar is clearly controlling somebody.
Speaker: as they are standing by and their eyes are glowing. That's a good point. I was thinking of doing that for the Wobbuffet, but Wobbuffet don't shut her eyes. Ha ha. Oh wait, oh yeah that's right. Yeah, if the Malamore just doesn't show himself, you can never tell the Wobbuffet's under control.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: Huh. huh Ah.
Speaker: Why does it look like that Malamar has eyes are glowing? All right. that that I think that Malamar is... controlling something.
Speaker: that The mind of someone in the area there. At least one. I'm gonna guess Wobbuffet, maybe?
Speaker: I don't know, can't psychic types control other psychic types? Maybe. I see why not. Yes. Yes. Okay. actually Well, Malamar being dark psychic, probably.
Speaker: I'm gonna... It's probably like the dark mind control.
Speaker: I know it'll still work in the game, but I just want to look up an actual Pokemon can psychic types. Control. Other. So the, uh...
Speaker: So Mayor Maynard leans in real quick and he's like, Yep, so I would explain it.
Speaker: So, we gotta... eyes. I gotta to figure out how to knock that Malamar out somehow. Yay more psychic types yeah One, two. Are we gonna we're gonna do a covert operation?
Speaker: um Do we know any dark types? We know Blair. Could we send in... Send Blair over there to help out? I will say half of the people in your crew are dark types.
Speaker: Yeah, one is missing. So... One's missing, one's on a mission. We also have fighting types. That's worse.
Speaker: i mean it'll be just be neutral and they'll know psychic moves and be 2x on us Wait a second, um... Because he's dark psychic. Lucario is psychic steel.
Speaker: so Fighting Steel. or fighting steel i mean yeah so it's only psychic type moves are only neutral and Luke Carleo. is a...
Speaker: is... Mega Z Lucario would still do the same typing. I was referring to Veronica. Oh, okay. Yeah, if we can. Send Veronica and Blair?
Speaker: Maybe? Well, I would assume Jeremy would probably want to go too. Bye.
Speaker: This is his test. Is he worthy enough to marry my mother? He must have killed a Malamore. Jeremy's rock type. The thing is that...
Speaker: Oh my god. I never remember that connection. Go on. The thing is that like... is that the tight matchups of like... Of. of the enemy Pokemon's weakness.
Speaker: and your weakness are like independent of each other. So you could be... Like... You could be a non - Like you don't have to be a bug type Pokemon. in order to use bug type moves that are super effective against A psychic type.
Speaker: I'm just gonna say this I know the perfect man for the job to fight a whole city. We know this man well. You know this man very well. As he is the cause of my most powerful object.
Speaker: I know who you're talking about. And he's an octrillery. He's no slacker of taking down Oh, wait. Couldn't artillery learn like so signal beam or something? He can learn Nuke!
Speaker: True. Oh, no. No, do not think we should send Vickers. You're going to contract Vickers the artillery to build a nuclear bomb?
Speaker: He knows the move combustion bomb. Oh my god. Wait, no. Also, I just want a few blocks. Before I forget it, Like, Jeremy's a rock type and he's in a rock band.
Speaker: I never made that connection before, but that's so perfect. Really? I thought that was the whole point why you made it a liking rot. No! No, I made it because it's a cool Pokemon. It looks like a stoner Pokemon.
Speaker: I thought it fit me quite well. oh we have to end like at 5 30. Yeah, I want to get you guys ah moving soon. We still got 15 minutes. It's fine. Yeah. So Mayor Maynard's like, alright, well, with all this information, um... Do we want to start heading to Mist City or do we want to do that tomorrow?
Speaker: We should probably head out now. Yeah. Okay, do you guys know the best way there is there a train line or something? Alfred pipes up. He's like, Miss City, you should be able to take it. a ah short train down there it's only uh it's only like a good 30 40 miles down south so Train should take you pretty much there.
Speaker: Oh gee guys, let's hope the train doesn't blow up. sh I hope the trains don't get stuck in traffic. I hope we don't have another shadow Pokemon appear out of nowhere.
Speaker: Or we could also just walk there in two days.
Speaker: It's just a... I can't remember the name. two days
Speaker: I say we just take the train. I think we'll be fine. No way a train explosion happens twice. It's like lightning. It never strikes twice. Once a train blows up once trains never blow up ever again.
Speaker: This just doesn't happen. Yeah.
Speaker: All right, I guess we can take the train. But who's going to watch the bass? Well... um Veronica and Jeremy are still here, right? With you guys?
Speaker: now I thought we wanted to send them to... You should work. Yeah, I dunno.
Speaker: Actually, maybe not. We should probably plan out. Now that I think about it, Alfred should probably stay with Arabella. Okay, so you guys are gonna have Alfred stay You're gonna have Alfred Stay at the base and Jeremy and Veronica and Arabella are all at the base.
Speaker: abyss is still out looking for brie with selena i think i'm pretty sure selena's with him Pretty sure, yeah. And... Blair is out at Vulcanburg still researching about New Shimmer City.
Speaker: Thank you, everyone. the other city. that And... What? the city we're going to. Mistsitting? What about Misery?
Speaker: that's the the other one. that the The end destination. that they I see one. Not new shiver. Oh, shiver -tricity. Shiver -tricity, that's it. Oh my god. i i keep saying this don't say it it's shiver tree city is our destination They're too similar.
Speaker: Yep. New Shimmer versus Shivertree. Yep. Shivertree is a lot of place. And then Tenebra City. Um... Maybe we should bring...
Speaker: Hmm. Maybe we should bring... Veronica and Jeremy with us to Tenebra City and then we can like They can - we could have them like organize a pop -up concert in New Shimmer.
Speaker: and then do what they need to do. Yeah, and then they end up in New Shimmer because they'll be closer to New Shimmer in Tenebrous City than they are. from Gale Beach.
Speaker: Yeah. I'm gonna - works. Put the map. that I drew.
Speaker: Okay, so you guys are taking... Veronica and Jeremy.
Speaker: yeah Is that what I'm getting? Okay. So... Jeremy's still down in the basement with you guys. He's like... Okay, I can go... look for Veronica and I'll ah ask her what she thinks about this.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Yeah, let us know what it says. and he heads up the stairs to go look for Veronica. You guys have any other planning you guys want to do? Oh, well, while we're down here, I'm gonna I'm going to teach myself the move slurf.
Speaker: Oh, you're actually learning slur? Here we go. Okay, so what exactly... does Slurf do? I know we gave it a definition at some point. Bye. Bye. Don't remember what that is.
Speaker: I thought it was just surf, but it had like a 50 % chance of working.
Speaker: Oops. Okay, so we can do that. um so if you want to do that then just go ahead and roll d20 11 or higher will be a success When...
Speaker: when I use... okay Yeah, I'm gonna eat Charm.
Speaker: Damn. Oh boy, so you successfully learned surf? from a Slurftian. Yeah did did you actually successfully do that? uh i mean i just typed in surf because it was like it just it has the move info Bye. Okay.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: But yeah, it's... It's Slurf. and that I guess that just means that the accuracy is like... The accuracy is 10. instead of well i thought it was a slurf tm just because it was a chinese knockoff of a surf tm it's what it's that It's still normal surf.
Speaker: Yeah, it teaches surf, but it has a 50 % chance of failing to teach surf. is what I thought we decided. I think that's what we decided. We just never decided on what happens if it fails to teach you surf.
Speaker: Um... Get to that or forget to that, I guess. Yeah. Okay, then I'll roll a d20 right now. Okay.
Speaker: Nat 20. Oh my god, you got a nat 20? I don't think there's any special scenario I can give you on a binary decision like this, so... Sure, yeah, it works. yeah In fact, ah Good. It teaches her even better than a normal surf TM would have.
Speaker: And it starts at like move level 2 or something. or uh oh yeah completely if i've had to move levels i haven't opened the sheet in a while sure yeah i like that let's do that Yeah, I like that.
Speaker: you You learn it so well. that you're able to instinctually use the move without having even used it before yet. So congratulations! We have learned a new move!
Speaker: also weren't you guys supposed to level up at some point in the past between episodes and then we completely forgot about it Well, we did the level ups off off -camera, off -stage.
Speaker: i Okay. Okay, good. Because I just remembered that. That was like a couple months ago. Heh. And up. That's right I am level 20 here.
Speaker: All right. Hikaru is now officially a surfing Pikachu! Yay! Hooray! Chances are I'm gonna use it as a field move.
Speaker: If... I end up in the water. Yeah. Yep. All right. um I think that's where we're gonna cap it here. Um, this is... just I think I'm literally just going to call this the planning episode part two. planning episode two electric boogaloo oh my god that that's probably what i'm gonna put it as Part two, a covert operation.
Speaker: Yeah. Okay. So I think this is where I'm going to end it. Jake, how to... yeah Jake had to leave earlier, so...
Speaker: He actually doesn't know that Veronica and Jeremy are joining.
Speaker: And it's gonna be very funny next time when he learns about it. I know, it's gonna be hilarious. Yeah, that's why he hasn't said anything for a bit. He said he had to go and then he told us he probably wasn't going to be back for the end of it because he knew we were dying soon.
Speaker: So... ah With that, I have been Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM. I've been Evelyn, playing Hikaru. I've been Eli playing Bruce.
Speaker: All right, Jake. Playing Walter. that's That's what he sounds like, right? Totally. 100%. Totally. Yeah. all Alright. we will all right thank you guys for listening it we will see you guys next time Oh wait, I'm going to actually end the recording. Bye!
