Recap of Previous Episode
00:03:37
Speaker
a recap. I need to find my d4.
00:03:43
Speaker
I got a four.
00:03:48
Speaker
Four.
00:03:52
Speaker
Swear to god, if everyone gets a four. That's not my that's me taking my other dice out of the box. Um...
00:04:06
Speaker
One. o Okay, so guys, guys, I rolled a four. an almost ta i was really hoping Evelyn rolled a four there.
00:04:18
Speaker
We have three fours and one. I'm half tempted to make Evelyn do the recap just because she was different, but that's not how the rules work. You're different. You do it. So so Jake, Eli, and i we're all going to reroll.
00:04:36
Speaker
one one all right oh my god well i got a four so at least i don't have to do the recap oh my god what wait no that means no that means that's not how that works if one of us matches with you we have to do the recap okay okay what happened the last episode um dm what less of a suit Last episode was the one where you guys entered Breeze Home City, right? Uh, no.
00:05:08
Speaker
Was it? No? no No, it was the episode after we definite he entered. think it was the battle. Yeah, entered the house last episode.
00:05:19
Speaker
Jesus Christ, it's been so long since we recorded. Okay, so what happened in the last episode... oh Where did we start the last episode?
Plot Developments and Strategy
00:05:31
Speaker
I think you stopped us right before we put our plan into action for how we were going to get into the house. Okay, so I'll start there. So you guys broke into the house. I believe Bruce went around back to break in that way um while Walter and Hikaru were creating a distraction. ah Pretend, not pretending, they were. I'm pretty sure you guys succeeded in being a two-man band.
00:06:00
Speaker
yeah And you guys were entertaining the Ursaring, who was sitting on the front porch regarding the house, while Bruce went around back and broke into the house. And for the dirty 20 on stealth, just keep that in mind for later.
00:06:13
Speaker
Okay. And so you found Bob the Garchomp. I think he was sleeping on his couch. And he gave you his wonderful monologue that Bruce did not give two shits about hearing. But he gave it anyway.
00:06:26
Speaker
hope Revealed the fact that he had plot armor as he pulled out a piece of Kevlar armor that just said plot on it. And that's why he's still alive. Did I say Bruce or Bob?
00:06:38
Speaker
Bob. Bob. Bob had the plot armor. Bob the Garchomp.
00:06:47
Speaker
Can we steal it? So, Bob the Garchomp ended up getting into a battle with you guys, uh, with Bruce and Hikaru, while Walter fought the Ursaring that was outside. The Ursaring ended up knocking Walter out flat, while Bob, uh, Eli and Hikaru- Couldn't find a single move.
00:07:07
Speaker
Oh yeah, fucking Christ, whatever. Yeah, Bob didn't hit a single damn move while Bruce ended up completely paralyzing, petrifying. Did you poison him too? no I only got two grimy foods out before we had to go rescue Walter.
00:07:21
Speaker
okay so so me yeah You guys completely stunlocked him while you guys just abandoned the battle and went to help Walter who was knocked out. So you guys managed to zap back to the Flameback Enterprise headquarters where you guys healed up and gathered the posse in order to go back and show Bob, um you know,
00:07:45
Speaker
What's what I'm looking for? Give them the old one-two. You also missed one key part. One key thing is missing.
00:07:56
Speaker
What did i forget? Oh, yeah, the fucking orb. Brad, the whole point of that episode. Yeah, you guys found the orb sitting on Bob's mantle place.
00:08:08
Speaker
yeah one of the biggest One of the most important MacGuffins in the series. So, you guys have retrieved the blue orb, and when
Philosophical Encounter with Silver
00:08:18
Speaker
you guys went back to the Flameback residence, you guys ended up giving it to Miss Flameback, if I'm not mistaken. Mm-hmm. It is now in a case safely in our underground bunker. Yes, yeah, because you put it in the case, that's right.
00:08:32
Speaker
So, that's when you guys gathered...
00:08:37
Speaker
Yep. So, let's see, if i my notes are correct, you guys have... You guys have gathered Alfred, Selina, Abyss... Abyss, Bri... No, Bri didn't want to come. Bri did not want to come along.
00:08:53
Speaker
I think that was everyone, right? Yes. Oh, was it everyone? We didn't want to throw everybody we had. Yeah, I just want to point out that, uh, um, Blair wasn't left out on purpose. I completely forgot she existed. And after the recording, i was like, hey guys, so Blair was at the headquarters.
00:09:14
Speaker
So, unfortunately, Blair's not a part of this. She was too busy studying the book. So. Yeah. So she's staying at Flameback Resonance. She's too precious to hurt anyway. Glass cannon and all.
00:09:26
Speaker
Um,
00:09:29
Speaker
yeah one thing we left out the the last episode I think actually began with the battle against Bob the Garchomp and the everything up to the plot armor speech was from the episode before that yes I think that is true yeah yeah something like that hmm maybe yep so Uh, okay, so I think that's about where we're standing. You guys got your badges and you are about to zap back to the house of Bob Legard Trump. Where you're gonna give him the ol' one-two again.
00:10:06
Speaker
razzle dazzle. The razzle dazzle.
00:10:11
Speaker
So, um, with that... Give him some nice-good tasty food. Walter? Not Walter, fucking Christ. Jake, I need you to give us a random move. Random move, random move, let's go with Zap Cannon.
00:10:27
Speaker
Zap Cannon. Why is that? feel like I feel like ive heard that very recently. don't know. Anyway, let us Cannon on in.
00:10:39
Speaker
And as you hear Zap Cannon on in, you guys Zap into existence in Bob's home. Oh, in the home? Yes, because the badge takes you back to the back to your home base.
00:10:54
Speaker
And if you use it again within an hour, it takes you back from where you zap from. So I guess technically you're in his front yard. Yeah, yeah, you're in his front yard then. Okay, so yeah, you guys are at the front door.
00:11:07
Speaker
Please don't move. just see the air thing like moving the Garchomp like a statue having his like flopped between his arms moving ah Go ahead and roll perception.
00:11:20
Speaker
Ooh, 17! Ooh, 17. Okay. My dog picked out my good dice. Nice. use Through the glass of the door, you can see the foggy shape of four separate Pokemon in the house. Sorry, five separate Pokemon in the house.
00:11:41
Speaker
Jeez, reinforcements showed up fast. Bruce, your specialty! BURN IT DOWN! didn't we want to like see if this house someone?
00:11:59
Speaker
Uh, did you- Oh, yeah. You weren't here for this part, but apparently they have some weird thing called plot armor. And i i feel like it would come into play again if we just tried to burn the house down with all of them in it. Well, that seems incredibly unfair! What god would give someone plot armor?
00:12:21
Speaker
I don't know it's It's just a thing, apparently. we definitely don't have it or anything. You how good of a podcast it would be if like, the premise of this podcast- or this like D&D campaign
Planning and Confrontation
00:12:36
Speaker
or something, is the fact that all of the characters are told from the beginning that they have plot armor and all the characters know this, so they just go around to doing dumb shit that because they're pretty much invincible until they complete their quest.
00:12:50
Speaker
Wouldn't that be such an interesting campaign? Super hair painting yeah. Just like, I'm gonna jump off this cliff because I know I'm invincible, I have plot armor. I feel like that's just most D&D campaigns. Listen, if everyone's invincible- They leave out the part where they say that they know they have plot armor.
00:13:10
Speaker
Everyone's invincible until TNT gets stuck in their face.
00:13:16
Speaker
So is it what's the plan? The TNT just... The TNT is non-lethal, right? Yeah, it just teleported them to a faraway place.
00:13:29
Speaker
Guys, I'm gonna bet it's his dragon friends. Yeah, probably. Selina, this is your moment. I'll bet that it's, since there's five Pokémon, I'll bet it's the dragon friends plus silver.
00:13:45
Speaker
I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't... They wouldn't just have a type... it They would try to have a type advantage over some of us and the folks that we brought.
00:13:56
Speaker
Not because they knew that we were bringing... that that That we were bringing extras who were strong against Dragon, well but because their DM knew that.
00:14:08
Speaker
Well, let's be fair, one thing. they already have the type advantage. Cause I got hit by a move that KO'd me and you guys just got incredibly lucky apparently.
00:14:21
Speaker
got incredibly lucky the didn't know how to fight. Alright, skill, alright. So what's the game plan? Do we just have Selena do Ice Beam and freeze the house?
00:14:33
Speaker
Selena has like fire in her eyes. Despite being a ice type Pokemon, she has that fire in her eyes. She is ready for battle. Alright, what do you suppose?
00:14:46
Speaker
I have oh gosh ah have one tiny reviver seed left. We did not stock up on reviver seeds, did we? i thought we did. i have or we can i have four of them, don't worry. if okay As long as we stay together, we'll be okay for a little Can have one, so in case i can just pop it before I go down?
00:15:07
Speaker
that That's how these work. They just magically go from one of our bags to person who faints. When the guard jump comes out, I'm gonna throw this orb at
00:15:21
Speaker
him. I don't know what it does, but i feel like itd be great. Uh, Selina, do you know Icy Wind by any chance? Hmm, let me let me check my character sheet real quick. Hold on. You know, I could just rage bait the person to get back She looks like she looks at her Game Boy and it has the character sheet on it. I should add that as like an app for you. She's like, hold on. Hold on. Give me one second. Give one second.
00:15:48
Speaker
Let me just check what moves I know. Yeah, so she pulls up her character sheet and it says, uh, well, it looks like I know Ice Beam, Blizzard, Freeze Dry, and Hail. This is definitely not just a Glacier, I played in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
00:16:02
Speaker
hit it You're gonna make it Hail inside the building. so what do you guys think the idea of we open the door and have Selina just send a
Battle and Tactical Maneuvers
00:16:13
Speaker
Blizzard into the house?
00:16:15
Speaker
I like it! Because it's multiple targets. I like it. bless it there's play thing we'll take
00:16:24
Speaker
She looks at you guys and she's like, okay, but what are you guys going to do? Stand back. that You you knows your middle above you use your move and we'll prepare our moves for when they start because it's only one door. They got a single file out of the door.
00:16:39
Speaker
but We can all target one and then down one immediately. Okay, so so we we should all get like one move to throw it out at the same time. Do we all want to go at the same door or do you guys want to sneak around? Oh, that's probably where there's two doors. we gotta I think we got to confuse the hell out of them.
00:16:58
Speaker
You know what? I'll go in the back door. They won't expect me in the back door. I'm a front door person. I'll go in the back door. a Me, I'll go with you because I have the reviver seeds and I think we'll take Alfred with us to go around the back door. Listen, listen. You could just give him me... I'm not mine. It's probably better to mix up our typings.
00:17:22
Speaker
Exactly. Yeah. So what do I do? I could... i could so So who's going to come in the front? Yeah. You and c Selina and Abyss can be the front attack.
00:17:36
Speaker
yeah So so we just we just come charging through the front door and like... No, no, no, no. Selena uses Blizzard, then she backs up, and then when they come running out after being Blizzard, one at a time, target all at once at one opponent, and then we'll quick drop them and then have one less opponent each to deal with.
00:17:56
Speaker
Oh, yeah, there's like... Is there five allies and five enemies? Yeah, we have six. We have six people. And five enemies. we got... Yeah, they knew how many people were bringing. Let me think of one more enemy real quick.
00:18:12
Speaker
Okay, so who's going on the front door, then? Hikaru. Hikaru and Selina and Abyss are taking the front door. Okay, so Hikaru, Selina, and Abyss are going on the front door.
00:18:24
Speaker
So Selina's going to ready Blizzard. Abyss is going to ready
00:18:32
Speaker
see he's gonna go with not that one shadow ball that's a ranged one
00:18:42
Speaker
okay and that may that leaves alfred and walter and bruce to take the back door right yeah um i am preparing an ice punch i love the idea have alfred has draco meteor i think it'd be really fun if you just sent meteors through the ceiling that would be amazing. Listen, I swear there's a reason didn't blow up last time. I swear we wanted to keep this as a base for someone. Yeah. and We did kind of sort of want to try to buy this house after we were done taking care of all the bad guys. Yeah, so we could have a so so we could have a base away from a home base in case we just need play slightly low.
00:19:21
Speaker
Okay, so do you want to say what do you want Alfred to use? He has Slam, Draco Meteor, Hyper Beam, and Protect. Hyper Beam? Actually no, he'll be stunned for a round.
00:19:34
Speaker
That's okay, he's like level 50. Could he use Protect on us and Protect us when we move? oh Yeah, I'll allow it. Usually outside of battle he can like protect all of you guys. We can just use him as a shield while we attack and they can never get to us.
00:19:50
Speaker
Well, for every other round. Because Protect has a chance of failing when used consecutively. We don't worry about that. We just need to be worried to be able to get a hit or two in before they get hits on us.
00:20:04
Speaker
We need to get a lead and on damage before they start hitting us. yeah Hey Bruce, can you give each of us reviver's seed?
00:20:14
Speaker
Yeah, sure. That will work. Everyone team front doors kind of are glass Yeah, okay so Hikaru can now have two tiny Reviver Seeds in her bag, and Walter has one, and I have two left.
00:20:30
Speaker
So plus one is two, yeah. Okay, thank you. I look forward to not dying. Yes, that that that is our one goal in this mission, not die.
00:20:49
Speaker
Okay, so that'd be great. Well, not die and kick their butts. It's a dual mandate. need someone to roll perception. I can. I rolled it last time. was say, actually, since yes since you rolled last time, roll again.
00:21:03
Speaker
And that's a 15, Chief. Yeah, a 15 will do it. um As you're looking around talking about stuff, you notice that the five shadows that you saw through the door, they're gone.
00:21:17
Speaker
yeah everything is stock silent i think they know we're here you know i think we took too long yeah it's like the dm one wanted us to drag us out um it's like we gotta stand off you know what we could do the same move but they he uses hyper beam instead maybe they were treated into a deeper secret room in the house or maybe they left out the back door right I know we wanted to buy this house, but well there's plenty of houses we can buy.
00:21:49
Speaker
That's true. Yeah. It's not like we're short on cash and have ah and have a price tag on us. i laugh i still I still think we should flip it.
00:22:02
Speaker
poy We've become Pokeflippers, that's the show now. We just buy houses. We fight, take over a house, and then flip it. Yeah, so that that means that we can just- if we destroy the house, that just lowers property value. We buy it cheap, fix it up, and sell it big.
00:22:20
Speaker
kiss Can I interject? you guys You guys are proposing that you go to people's houses, kill the owners, and sell their houses for profit?
00:22:32
Speaker
Evil people!
00:22:36
Speaker
Only if they're criminals. Not that kill the owners, apprehend them, throw them in jail for life, and then they don't need their house anymore and we can buy i just want to point out, this is like the- play little evidence.
00:22:49
Speaker
This is like the whole dilemma that was like behind like Death Note, like the moral dilemma behind Death Note, I want to point out. Mm.
Philosophical Reflections and Victory
00:22:56
Speaker
listen like yeah so shout So that's what we're gonna do. Find criminals.
00:23:00
Speaker
So what we're gonna do is find find criminals, burn down their houses, buy them at rock bottom prices. Alright, we can't get into a tangent. We're on time limit.
00:23:13
Speaker
Yeah. Jesus Christ. Alright, back to the main plot here. Alright, we'll sort of the same plan. They'll have to come out eventually. They're probably most dragons, they don't like cold. Yeah.
00:23:24
Speaker
Alright, team, on three, one, two, break! Alright, Selena ah aceum Biss are gonna head to the front door, and Selena looks us and is like, Wait, guys, what's the signal?
00:23:38
Speaker
um there is no signal we just go you just okay ignore use blizzard and we'll take care of our bit poke poke okay so poke poke mush so because selena and you guys are literally right next to the front door practically since you're in the front yard she just rushes up to the front door and tries to open it but up i mean it's obviously locked So, she's messing around with the door for a minute. She's like, uh, guys, I don't think we... Do do you just want me to like, break it down?
00:24:10
Speaker
Walter's just gonna use force pump and break the Yeah, Walter, don't you have... Walter, don't you have that thing? right! I just punched through it!
00:24:22
Speaker
Right. my My player character in another universe has thieves tools, but that doesn't help us here. Listen, we'll talk about our D&D campaign later. We'll talk about our our campaign from high school later.
00:24:36
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Um, okay, Walter just punched the handle open and just make it end in the handle. Like, alright, there's more locking it. I need to run away. Like, there you Have fun. Alright. To the back, to the back, to back. The door creaks.
00:24:49
Speaker
The door creaks open, and as it creaks open, c Selena sends a massive blizzard into the house, and Abyss right behind her shoots a giant shadow ball towards where the shadow people were. PBI, FBI!
00:25:06
Speaker
so So, do we rush into the building? Are they rushing into the building? We went to the back. No, we're trying to get them out. We want to fight them out of the building. We don't want to have a home alone situation.
00:25:21
Speaker
okay So, um on the count of three, Selina, Abyss. Yeah. Are we going to go in? ah And do what exactly? Just fight them? Is that the plan? Just bum rushing? Fight them.
00:25:36
Speaker
Alright! Alright, on three. One, two, three. And she sprints into the house and vanishes. Huh.
00:25:48
Speaker
And Hikaru runs in right after her. I just say how clear it was to wait for them to come to us? Alright, are you all running in? That was the plan. We're in the back.
00:25:59
Speaker
We're in the back. We went to the back for this. We have no idea that he ran Okay. So Hikaru, you vanish as you enter the doorway. Oh my gosh. They have a trick room on. This is a trick room.
00:26:14
Speaker
So now it is ah Eli, Walter, and Alfred at the back, correct? Yeah, Walters gonna do the same thing with the same door to punch it open. um Okay.
00:26:25
Speaker
What do you see? Is it like darkness in there? Uh, yeah, it's a glass of door. So as you punch it, the door just shatters. yeah i You either come out or I blow you up like I blew you up at the bank.
00:26:38
Speaker
Your choice. There's no response. Oh boy. What does it look like? oh it looks like there's a lot of glass on the floor.
00:26:50
Speaker
what What is the- does the inside look the same as it did Yes, it looks the same. Yeah, it looks pretty much the same. Oh, so, yes yeah, this is definitely a trick room that's happening right now.
00:27:06
Speaker
Um... Shall we go in if they're not coming out? We can't really draw them out.
00:27:14
Speaker
Um... Back to back. Copy Trodus Flanks. So, Alfred's like, excuse me, and he like, tries scooching inside, and as his, like, paws or feet or whatever crosses the threshold, you see him vanish completely. Oh my gosh, this is, what is this called, a monster house? This is a monster house!
00:27:37
Speaker
Wait, just vanish? Yep, you can no longer see it. Like, vanish before he, like, fully enters? Wait, Dakota, please tell me when they sent those moves in, the moves vanished, but they came out the other side and just hit the gott mean villains, and they go, what was that? thing out of nowhere. That's what it's supposed to know me They thought they were safe, and the blazer came through.
00:28:05
Speaker
Does team front door see them leave? See them- see him vanish? Didn't you guys already go There is no team front yeah door. You can see the door open. you can probably see them. I just mean that- Sorry, you can see the front door.
00:28:18
Speaker
You don't see anyone there.
00:28:22
Speaker
Uh... Eh, I've lived long enough. Walter jumps in. And you vanish. It is no one but Bruce left outside.
00:28:33
Speaker
Alright. Fine, me uh... Alright, so... I'm gonna put on... I'm gonna put on the Thunderous Boots of Invisibility and then I'm gonna jump in. And then I'm gonna walk in.
00:28:49
Speaker
Wow, this time I'm just gonna hear thunder for like a second. Yeah, was gonna say, with one loud bang, you enter the house. That's because you only took one step. So... if anything, if our moves didn't draw attention, that'd definitely draw attention to this house.
00:29:07
Speaker
Okay, so you... Open your guys' eyes and you guys find yourself in a deep black void. In front of you guys, you guys see the image of Silver, the Espeon, Bob the Garchomp, the Ursaring, a and a Tyranitar.
00:29:31
Speaker
Oh, I don't think we saw a Tyranitar yet. Nope, we sure did not. Sorry, it's not a Tyranitar, it's a Dragonite. Really? Wait, but it was a Dragonair before! Yeah, it was a Dragonair, you evolved?
00:29:48
Speaker
It is Evolution?
00:29:52
Speaker
You see Silver at the front of the pack, and she's like, firm You guys are not very sneaky. We could hear you as soon as you guys arrived, you know.
00:30:05
Speaker
Then you're a bad bank teller. oh okay. Let me look at my arms one second.
00:30:14
Speaker
Just trying to check if I... Okay, hold on Time out, time out. I need a group vote. I need a group vote. You can see her face like sags, like seriously. I need a team vote.
00:30:25
Speaker
Do I waste the transform arm on the Sylveon? On the Espeon, sorry. yes Do I waste waste that on her? Because she'll transform she'll pick what do you mean she'll become a foe transforms into a different foe, So basically, i can transform her to any other the Pokemon randomly. i get This could be either turned into a Caterpie or to a Legendary. It would be funny.
00:30:52
Speaker
It would be funny. and And by the way, it also could be D6. Bruce is currently invisible and... Obviously hasn't moved since he stepped in so bru Bruce currently does not appear in the room hu
00:31:12
Speaker
I don't know if this was a outside group vote or an in-universe group vote no This is like out of character vote Out character vote because this thing is like broken i don't know I want to waste it Alright, so... Looks like we got an old cell phone, Mexican can standoff.
00:31:34
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, it might be a good idea to find out what exactly this place is before we go and you do that.
00:31:44
Speaker
Because if we're in some... Bruce, I don't think they're gonna tell us. No, Bruce wasn't saying that. That that was me, Peter, saying. doubt they're gonna tell us what's happening.
00:31:57
Speaker
Unless get them monologuing. Which they are known to do. Yeah. Um... Quick question before we beat your guys' brains in.
00:32:07
Speaker
What is this place? This is my pocket dimension. She says with a smirk. A small smile. As if she knows something you don't. So we're like pocket monsters.
00:32:22
Speaker
She facepalmed.
00:32:26
Speaker
I've been waiting for that! I have been waiting for that! God, I fucking hate you, Jake. Is that what Pokemon stands for? It's like, they're pocket monsters! They're god darn duel monsters!
00:32:40
Speaker
Everyone in this pocket dimension had their minds just just blown. Oh, ever seen a Bridge Cell games? I have been loving that quote.
00:32:59
Speaker
Oh, all right. Okay, so what is... Are you guys actually doing anything?
00:33:08
Speaker
I'm gonna try to find a way out.
00:33:11
Speaker
I don't think they're gonna let us go out. I think we have to fight them. Is there a door? No, you guys are in an endless black void. Trust me, if there's a door, would know.
00:33:23
Speaker
Okay. got sense for these. He's got a sense. Okay, um, I guess... I guess we have to fight them?
00:33:34
Speaker
Alright. It's just a, um, ready! Fight! With a little soundtrack in Mortal Kombat. Silver looks at you guys and she's like, Bob here has told me what you guys have been up to recently. And I gotta say, that doesn't make me very happy.
00:33:54
Speaker
what have we been However... Allegedly. Oh, I don't know, just a bit of paralysis, petrification, explosions, she says glaring at Walter.
00:34:04
Speaker
However, before I get to all that- Did you use a drug dealer to rob robb a bank? Where is the one you guys call Bruce? Um, you see, he kinda got sick when he made it.
00:34:20
Speaker
Yeah, he's taking PTO. Do I need to roll a deception? She is just banging her head on her fucking paw, like, why did I get stuck with these fucking idiots?
00:34:36
Speaker
I'm not that stupid. It's a rhetorical question, and she waves a pause, and the thunderous boots invisibility disintegrate into dust. Hey! Those were a gift! Not the most- yeah that- that idol! We loved it so much!
00:34:53
Speaker
No! Don't you test my patience. That is the least of what you guys are going to see today. Okay. Well, what do you want from us? Alright, well, I'm going to just, as soon as i as soon as I feel the boots start to disintegrate, I'm going to chuck a grimy food at her. Okay.
00:35:14
Speaker
Okay, go ahead and roll accuracy. Petrify the game master, the puppeteer. Without her, they don't have the... That's an 18. Oh, yes! so They won't have the dungeon layer of actions.
00:35:29
Speaker
I was gonna tell you this before you rolled, but ah I'm only accepting a nat 20 because without even moving or flinching, Silver the Espeon just stops the grammy food midair and it disintegrates into dust.
00:35:45
Speaker
What exactly were you trying to do there? You really think you can stop me? Do you not understand what I have done? I don't think you understand how things are gonna be working here.
00:35:57
Speaker
And she, you see, you see Silver start to grow. And she starts growing and growing until she looks like a goddamn kaiju.
00:36:10
Speaker
Her voice gets deep and it's booming and echoey. What do you think i am now? It is time for me to show you true power.
00:36:22
Speaker
You do not understand the true power of the orbs or how they are used. We want something that you have, and I think you know what that is.
00:36:34
Speaker
um i think you're confused because i think I've got nothing in my orbs that would be of real interest to you. her Nothing in your what? Nothing in my bag.
00:36:49
Speaker
The gem on her head that is normally red... i think it's still red on a ah shiny Espeon. The gem on her somehow glows black instead of red.
00:37:07
Speaker
ah Sure, go ahead and roll Orisense.
00:37:13
Speaker
ah That is a 16.
00:37:17
Speaker
16. Rolled really good today. 17, 16, and 15. You don't sense any godly power. You sense a god.
00:37:29
Speaker
Okay, guys. I think she infused herself a little armor.
00:37:35
Speaker
Hmm. That could be problematic. who Her gem glows black as you feel the bag lift off of your back.
00:37:48
Speaker
And she's like, well, what do we have in here? Is this what's been causing all of our issues now? and objects start flying out of your bag, especially all of the grimy food.
00:38:00
Speaker
And as it exits the bag, it all starts disintegrating, turning into dust. Bruce is going to try be As soon as the bag starts opening, he's gonna, like, clamp it shut.
00:38:15
Speaker
Uh, go ahead and roll me Strength.
00:38:22
Speaker
What would happen if I changed her? But she still has the god powers, I wonder. That is... ah What is... Strength is tough? It's dirty 20. Oh, for fuck's sake.
00:38:42
Speaker
He wanted a 20. Okay. Okay.
00:38:46
Speaker
um okay
00:38:52
Speaker
legs la after cool moment as all of the grimy food leaves the bag is when you're able to react and close your bag in time you feel the grimy food inside your bag disintegrates completely by the time you're able to reg react but as you start tugging back this bag that is trying to float off your back, you kind of, I guess the best way to put it is you touch godly power and for a split second that feels like an hour, you are hit with the absolute insanity of that is trying to comprehend the actual power that a god has.
00:39:34
Speaker
and you've realized that you are just absolutely nothing there is nothing you can do in this situation there is no way in which you would survive if this god wants you dead there is just nothing you feel hopeless and there's nothing you can do you lose your entire will to live and There's just nothing left for you.
00:40:01
Speaker
The fact that something this powerful exists means that life is meaningless in of itself because god like this could extinguish all life on Earth if it wanted to. This is a god in its truest form, not in any kind of metaphoricical metaphorical sense or anything.
00:40:18
Speaker
This is a true god that you are staring at, which could obliterate this entire world if it wished. Hmm. Um, it's kind of a good question.
00:40:31
Speaker
The- I'm not saying I saw it together. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Alright, the other god in the room. Yes, yes, yes, what do you need? I use my Trance Orb, how would we work it? How would we pick, how would we randomize what Pokemon she'd turn into? I would pull up a random Pokemon generator, and I would just let it roll one.
00:40:51
Speaker
Now, would that include Legendaries into the random Pokemon? Yes.
00:41:09
Speaker
what were the uses of the deck and many things again, but were left in it?
00:41:14
Speaker
ah you don't know i think there's 18 uses left, each of the 8 or 18. 18, yeah, you guys pulled 2, there's 20 of them. But you don't know what's in the deck.
00:41:25
Speaker
Yeah, we pulled one good one, so there's at least there's there's seven more bad things. Eight more bad things and seven more good things in it. Something like that. It was weighted, but I don't remember what the weight was. I have the list here, but ah they're not sorted. Any idea, guys?
00:41:51
Speaker
what rolling Roll hope I get
00:41:57
Speaker
Not sure about that.
00:42:02
Speaker
um i I... I've only sensed little droppings of power of godly stuff. It feels like i'm looking at the source of power.
00:42:14
Speaker
Can i roll to see if I can tell if she somehow infused herself with an orb?
00:42:21
Speaker
Go ahead and roll intelligence. Yeah. tell Yeah, intelligence.
00:42:29
Speaker
Do I have a plus of intelligence? No, I do not. So that's a 13. A What do I give you for this? Does make success?
00:42:43
Speaker
Interesting. Yeah, that is an interesting... What I can tell you is that based on what you are seeing...
00:42:54
Speaker
do I I do have, I can reroute, do have one thing left of inspiration I've never used. Well, hold on, I'll give you the information, I'm just trying to think of how to put that. Because it's the way what you asked, I can really only give in a binary sense. Alright, here's the thing that maybe can make it more sense.
00:43:12
Speaker
Okay. The power she has is godly, right? Yeah, she looks like a god, but does it feel natural like it's hers? it doesn somehow in it can i separate like Can I see two different auras kind of mixed together? To make it look more like I can feel her aura and another one mixed together.
00:43:29
Speaker
Yes, you feel a godly... Well, a god. But Silver herself is not the god.
00:43:41
Speaker
Cheat trick. but You infused yourself with another the orbs, didn't you? So what if I did? this is the intended power of the orbs.
00:43:54
Speaker
What do you do with all that power then? You already have enough power yet you want more orbs? I do not seek the orbs for power. I seek the orbs for equality. For your friends?
00:44:08
Speaker
My friends who nothing but pure specks of dust in my plan for equality. True equality. What do you mean by that?
00:44:20
Speaker
They're your teammates, aren't they? Have you ever been out in a mystery dungeon and encountered wild Pokemon? Wild Pokemon, no intelligence whatsoever.
00:44:32
Speaker
They seem to just run free in the wild. Some of them can speak, some of them cannot. Almost as if they're wild animals.
00:44:43
Speaker
What makes those Pokemon different than you, who have supernatural intelligence, the ability to do math, learn complicated moves, what makes you so different from them?
00:44:57
Speaker
luck
00:44:59
Speaker
It is not luck that separates us. In fact, to tell you the truth, I do not know what separates us. But the fact is that there is a major difference.
00:45:10
Speaker
There are Pokemon out there who have to hunt for their food. There are Pokemon out there who die to disease and cannot benefit from modern medicine. And yet there are some of us who are gifted beyond measure with the abilities to not have to hunt for our food.
00:45:27
Speaker
to not have to die from disease. We are able to learn and do... oh smarter stuff. There's... there is a... Science, music.
00:45:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. what What Silver's saying is striking a chord with Hikaru right now because she writes music. ah I will say this, her speech is resonating with Walter a little bit.
00:45:53
Speaker
So, I want to ask you... What makes you deserve this power over with these feral Pokemon? Why should they be left to be feral and we can benefit from this power?
00:46:09
Speaker
Why should it not be equal? Answer me that. Why should there not be equality? Why should we not go out and help these Pokemon in these dungeons, out in the wild, in these forests?
00:46:20
Speaker
Why do we not help them? Uh, we've seen one that done Pokemon in a dungeon without its aggressiveness, but it's like a mindless puppet.
00:46:34
Speaker
They have no sense in their brains after they get out of We did try to help them. And then nothing happened. They're mindless once theyre once they lose their aggression, they're just nothing. They're blank.
00:46:48
Speaker
And they get erased as soon as the dungeon leap resets. So they are different than you. They do not hold the same mental capacity as you. They are not equal to you.
00:47:02
Speaker
That is not how things should be. It is my goal to try and make things equal for all Pokémon. All wild Pokémon. All feral Pokémon. All dungeon Pokémon.
00:47:13
Speaker
All intelligent Pokémon. It is my... it is not within any capability to give all Pokemon supernatural intelligence, for that would sow utter absolute chaos throughout the world.
00:47:27
Speaker
It is my intention to make all Pokemon wild Pokemon.
00:47:33
Speaker
For, in this case, there will be no more robbing banks. There will be no more political corruption. There will be no more murder. No unjust murder, note how I said hunting pokemon earlier.
00:47:48
Speaker
It is my intent to remove supernatural abilities from all pokemon who have them and make everything equal in this land. A complete reset if you will.
00:48:00
Speaker
This world is not natural the way it stands. There is some force giving us supernatural abilities. It is my wish to undo this injustice, to undo this inequality. I wish to make the world back the way it was before the seeds of intelligence were sown.
00:48:20
Speaker
Heart, Team Plasma. Have you considered what caused this intelligence might be beyond your comprehension? I comprehend more than you think I do.
00:48:35
Speaker
For you see... So, can you tell me for certain that it was not Arceus who gave this intelligence... It is not within my certainty to tell you who gave them their super intelligence.
00:48:51
Speaker
However, I disagree with this completely. Whether or not he, Arceus, put that there, I disagree with that and I wish to make that change, to make everyone equal. Arceus may have put those abilities in certain Pokemon, but why only certain Pokemon? Why didn't he give it to all Pokemon?
00:49:11
Speaker
Is he prejudiced? Is he partial to certain Pokemon? He certainly didn't give out the powers equally. And because of this injustice, Pokemon out there dying from diseases they could otherwise cure, from starvation, from thirst.
00:49:28
Speaker
And yet Arceus could have saved those people, all those Pokemon, but instead he chooses to give supernatural abilities to those he deems fit?
00:49:39
Speaker
Maybe those he favors? I have no idea. And I don't even know if Arceus is the one who did it. However, Could it possible that the mystery dungeons themselves are the things that are causing the corruption it and taking away intelligence of the Pokemon that are generated in them?
00:50:08
Speaker
Mystery dungeons are rare and fleeting places. They do not occur everywhere. The natural forests that are around us are not uninhabited.
00:50:18
Speaker
They contain wild Pokemon. And those Pokemon do not have the supernatural abilities that you and I have. How do you know they don't? Yeah.
00:50:29
Speaker
I mean, we all came from the forest, from the mountains. You were not, you did not come from the forest. You were raised by your mother and father. No, I grew up in a town. We grew up, we grew up in a small town, but our ancestors came from ultimately, but you know, the living environment.
00:50:49
Speaker
Exactly. But how far back does that go? And why does that go back to infinity? Does that go back to the start? Were the very first ancestors the only ones who were truly feral?
00:51:03
Speaker
Oh boy, we're going into above board. We're going into like the cosmology. This feels like we're fighting against an atheist. This is like the origin of humans. Yeah.
00:51:17
Speaker
This is like someone who's trying to preach against a Christian or a Catholic right now. I'm glad you guys are having fun. This is Cass from Supernatural right now.
00:51:30
Speaker
This is just Cass.
00:51:33
Speaker
This is Cass when he got all the powers from Purgatory! Yeah. Okay, so, Silver continues. My main theory is that somewhere along this line there was a mutation that may have caused supernatural abilities. I do not believe that Arceus has actually created supernatural abilities from the start.
00:51:55
Speaker
Otherwise, um otherwise there would have been super smart Pokemon way back then, and we would have developed our technologies way further now, and... I lost my train of thought.
00:52:09
Speaker
Hey man, life be like a... We gotta deal it. See, maybe you're not as smart as smart as you think you are. not yet not until i get all the orbs for you see that is what i am after here it seems i have many questions to ponder but how many orbs do you have infused with you right now that is none of your concern what is under of my concern missing at least one of them are you sure you can handle more than one are you sure adding them all together won't have a chain reaction that may endanger the world
00:52:42
Speaker
See, you don't even know, you can't even tell us how how we Pokemon got to be the way we are with intelligence and the way and the ability to make art and science.
00:52:56
Speaker
And you're out here thinking you can you that you can take away that power.
00:53:08
Speaker
And do you know these things that you were accusing me of not knowing? I'm saying nope i'm saying none of us knows. Exactly. like that's why we have yeah That's why we have universities.
00:53:21
Speaker
and The universities do not know this any more than you or I do. now I can make speculations, I can take guesses as to how this all started. However, what I do know is that somewhere along the line, we gained supernatural intelligence.
00:53:37
Speaker
If we started with supernatural intelligence, then that means that RCS is indeed prejudiced. If we did not start along those lines, then that means there was a mutation somewhere along the line that gave us supernatural abilities.
00:53:50
Speaker
And it is my intent to stamp that mutation out, make everything equal again, make everything natural again, as it should be, as it once was. So... Okay, okay, but you don't... So you're just gonna make everything natural what you think is natural, and only your view is natural, so you're basically just saying what you think is best.
00:54:09
Speaker
You're basically just becoming a dictator. But know what is natural. No, ok because I am not- there ah There is a difference between a dictator and what I am doing. For it does not seem like you understand that this will all end here.
00:54:23
Speaker
For this is not- I am not going to be here to dictate once my plan is put into action. i myself, will fall under this rule as well.
00:54:34
Speaker
There will be no dictator. Once everything is done, is done. There will be no one to undo it. Everyone will be equal. And then it'll be survival for the fittest.
00:54:46
Speaker
And it survives and passes on their genes. And the world will continue as it always has been. always has Always has been. But how do you know? How do you know god how do you know if...
00:55:02
Speaker
if you don't know What causes the intelligence that we have? How do you know that every Pokemon in the world can't have it?
00:55:13
Speaker
Because if everyone in the world could have it, then that is the other form of equality. However, due to overpopulation issues with the current infrastructure, along with the economy and availability of... Thanos. due to the population...
00:55:34
Speaker
If I were to create everyone to be super smart, then i would have to reduce the population, which would mean I would have to choose certain people to reduce this population for, and that is prejudiced.
00:55:46
Speaker
Instead, where is, where can all Pokemon live equally? that's right the wild all pokemon have the ability to live out in the wild they have the ability we always have bandits in our genes there's no overpopulation you done yet my gosh she's boring you're more boring your mouth closed your mouth is now zipped closed it's like physical zipper appears
00:56:19
Speaker
Does anyone else have any other objections? Guys, he's worse than Dennis.
00:56:25
Speaker
but you You know I can hear you, right? Who's Dennis?
00:56:32
Speaker
Anyway. Wait, who was Dennis? Yeah, who was Dennis? Wait, what? I'm assuming that's a reference to something this like outside reference that went over all of our heads?
00:56:45
Speaker
I think so. Dennis. Dennis. Dennis. that's why That's what they were calling. it was It's an old meme.
00:56:59
Speaker
That's what they used to call it Getz's. We should call this episode the Madmanes speech. Dakota, you're going to you guys start a revolution with this speech right here. I know! You're gonna cause a crusade crusade!
00:57:12
Speaker
It's almost like Silver is the leader of a cult. And cult leaders tend to be pretty persuasive. Man, I'm gonna be honest, this guy's dumb. He can get all this power, but Arceus can just take it away from him.
00:57:25
Speaker
Yep. It's almost like Arceus doesn't care. What a cruel and unjust god. He's gonna start messing with Alcir's Wald. um Holy, he may.
00:57:40
Speaker
He wouldn't care if you nuked it, but if he used God powers to nuke it, he may care. one of the other 50 legendaries. See, by your own admission, you don't know how how tell how intelligence came, how the unequal distribution of intelligence came to be. How do you know Arceus is behind it?
00:58:04
Speaker
I already told you, i do not know that Arceus is behind all of this. However, it does not matter how it came to be, the fact that it is, there is an imbalance in intelligence between feral Pokemon and supernatural intelligent Pokemon.
00:58:21
Speaker
The fact of the matter is that it exists and it is horribly unfair and i wish to correct that wrong. look Okay, but look, even if... Okay, but even if we all went back to the wild and, I don't know, became feral wild Pokemon with no ability to speak or sing or whatever...
00:58:41
Speaker
like or learn things we still wouldn't be equal like there are pokemon out there with like i can shoot lightning my my friends here can't do that and no but your friends have other abilities don't they there are pokemon whose iq is over 5000 i could never get to that level and lose like a dragon ball reference no no that's an alakazam reference yeah yeah because alakazam has an iq of over 5000 i think yeah yeah there are pokemon with certain abilities that they learn as they grow up you get stronger as you grow as you gain your skills as it should be not because you were simply gifted at a young age when you were born
00:59:34
Speaker
But how is that different? How is being gifted the ability to speak different from being gifted the you know, innate psychic powers that Alakazam has?
00:59:45
Speaker
The innate psychic powers are a natural thing. They were born with those abilities that always have been. The ability to speak is unnatural. The ability to do arithmetic, learn sciences, those are unnatural. Those are of which I wish to stamp out. The supernatural intelligence that separates a pharaoh Alakazam from a supernaturally intelligent Alakazam.
01:00:17
Speaker
ah The ah silver unzips your mouth. What do you want? I
01:00:27
Speaker
unzipped your mouth. you're You're just mocking me now. You can talk.
01:00:36
Speaker
Alrighty then. Anyone else? just turned a rage baiter so hard.
01:00:46
Speaker
Does anyone else have any other objections? Listen, can you stop your talking? You leave thinking we'll die. Have your cronies attack us. We'll live. yeah Yada yada. Let's get this over with.
01:00:58
Speaker
i Alright, if that is how you guys wish things to be. I'm not sure if we can go up against these folks. Well, not her. there She's too important to get her hands dirty. you oh is this an unfair fight?
01:01:15
Speaker
Would you like me to make things even for you?
01:01:22
Speaker
don't know, you got all dragon types. That was pretty unfair from the beginning. What do you have in mind? And yet we still won. What have in mind? Mmm, it's almost like things that are unfair and uneven are by their nature hard to overcome. Hard to want to insist on your low end. Shut up, Dakota. You're mad nuked them last time.
01:01:40
Speaker
You're just mad I nuked your team last time. This payback. Like, mmm, a fight you can't just bullshit your way out of. Oh, that's not fun, is it?
01:01:54
Speaker
her like her girl Hikaru lifts her finger like, um, and then doesn't say anything. Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh my god. Being uneven isn't fair.
01:02:09
Speaker
It's just not fair And I wish to make this world a level playing field. Eli, you gotta say that now. i That's too funny. I didn't even think of that. You gotta say that now while you posted. Okay, fine. So, I'm trying to be, as Dakota said earlier, i Bruce felt i mean you knew i think that the essence of the God thing and got lost all hope and everything, so me, Eli, am having thoughts that Bruce would not have vocalize, but...
01:02:45
Speaker
My thought is that Dakota said earlier in the campaign that he doesn't want us recruiting Pokémon from dungeons like we do like you do in the games.
01:02:58
Speaker
And that one simple thing there is what caused this entire thing. Because without that, this argument has no basis. Because the games, you recruit Pokémon from the dungeons, and they become part of your team, and they talk, and they're just like you.
01:03:16
Speaker
Because he did not want have to do more voices and more backstories. That is where this must have solidified. Because, yeah, when was it? That was in the middle of Arc 2, wasn't it?
01:03:27
Speaker
Yep. No! That was the beginning of 3. This is Arc 3. Yeah. Hold I think it was like Arc 3 episode 1. It's either 1, 2, or 3. Oh, yeah.
01:03:39
Speaker
So this all stems from Dakota being lazy. oh i see how it is a great concept Oh, I see how it is. You guys can't attack Silver and her logic. So you guys are attacking the DM. i see that how That's how the world works. If you cannot smart them, you just beat them up.
01:03:59
Speaker
yeah That's how the world works, Dakota. If deal with it and your ideology.
01:04:07
Speaker
Jesus Christ. Listen, listen, if we already have emotional investments going on, and if the- she had me until she said she was going to start taking powers away. Ulther ain't giving up what little he has.
01:04:24
Speaker
Okay. Silver, it speaks up. He's not much more intelligent than the average wild Pokemon, so he doesn't want to anything. Wow. Wow.
01:04:34
Speaker
Walter wouldn't anything. This whole episode needs be animated. This clip is like, there's too much animation, Bips. I need an edit where she's trying to be serious, giving her talk, and there's just Walter...
01:04:54
Speaker
So, Sel-Selena, Silver speaks up once again. you guys have any other quarries? would you rather me commence this battle?
01:05:09
Speaker
Ummm... You suck?
01:05:12
Speaker
Alright, anyone else?
01:05:16
Speaker
Bruce doesn't see you way win this, so... Selena, Alfred, your thoughts? Abyss? Selena, Alfred, and Abyss all look like they they've been listening intently. Their eyes are glazed over and they look fearful.
01:05:33
Speaker
Selena looks less fearful and more hopeful. It's something you notice in Selena's eyes. Huh? Oh no, she... because of the thing he said where they have most of the orbs, so she's thinking if we beat her, we're gonna get a lot of the orbs.
01:05:53
Speaker
Hmm... Okay, that's better than what I was thinking for... What were you thinking? She's gonna betray us? Yeah, I was thinking that she was agreeing with... Well, here's the thing, we all were kind agreeing with her, but here's the thing, she hates silver.
01:06:10
Speaker
That's true, I forgot about that. Okay, we're good. That was the whole arc about the robbery. She hates Sylveon. SBM. God damn it. You always do that.
01:06:22
Speaker
and only Not even though it's god, it's a psychic type god, so F me. yes yeah Yeah. I need a dark type move so badly. You need to learn Sucker Punch.
01:06:34
Speaker
I do. Alright, let's do this. So you guys see Silver shrink back down slowly into her original form.
01:06:50
Speaker
And her gem that was glowing black turns back to red. I will leave you guys be to have a little fun. Come meet me in ice in Icy City.
01:07:02
Speaker
I will see you guys there. And she gives you a wink with a ah black flash. She vanishes from sight. Um, so guys, just wanna let you know, y'all are down with her just letting you guys die over there. Yeah,
01:07:17
Speaker
come to the light side. We have cookies. Yeah, she called you guys ants.
01:07:25
Speaker
Okay, so, alright, um, it is at this. Bruce feel any better now that the quote-unquote god is gone? um but I'll say the fear in your soul demigod has lessened Okay She a demigod her powers ain't natural oh gez i haven't looked at anything you guys have been posting I just looked at where you guys are posting and We could have a whole like a rig versus Zeus thing like well I'm gonna fight you in that size come down to our size you're the size of the skyscraper come back to our size
01:08:05
Speaker
So, hold on, do you do you actually want to try and reason with them? I was gonna have you guys with your initiative, but if you guys want to have another Molde Alem... Like, reason with the the remaining Pokémon? thought that's what you guys were trying to do. Maybe just one chance. Just one chance.
01:08:18
Speaker
Give them chance to give up, like... She called you guys ants, by the way, and she's willing to let you die. And she's she's expecting you to lose because she just told us where to go, so she's expecting you to die.
01:08:29
Speaker
yes she calls you She literally you dust. like She basically said you're those you're that tear the dust on her bones. She's definitely being corrupted by the gym, so whatever loyalty you have to her, it's probably in your best interest for her to lose the orbs, and that's probably making her go crazy. and The Dragonite looks at you, Giz, and he says...
01:08:54
Speaker
Our full loyalty lies with silver. We believe that it is best for all- We believe that it is best for all life to return to equality. For- For everyone's sake.
01:09:08
Speaker
Right, alright, alright, alright. TT! W- What?
01:09:16
Speaker
What did you say? I could do the most mean thing after having this full heart to throw a TNT in there now. I could do a full mean. add if you want. No, you have that nat 1 on me. I feel like you'd use that on me right now. What happens if we cause a massive explosion in this tactical mission? Here's the thing. If I nat 1, it blows up on me, and I have 7 more TNT on me, so I die. I'm not sure an explosion can propagate a vacuum like this.
01:09:44
Speaker
Are we in a vacuum? Wait, that means i don't know like if all our flame moves don't exist in vacuum. We wouldn't be able to breathe. We're not Deoxys. Someone go ahead and roll Perception.
01:09:59
Speaker
Perception, okay all Alright. I've rolled too much today. Yeah, let me do it. yep Well, that's a 3 plus 2, 5. I got a 15. i got a fifteen Okay, with 15, you can see that somewhere around you guys there's an air vent that's circulating air throughout this block of dimension. Sorry, it was in the blueprint. Sorry, sorry, blueprint.
01:10:23
Speaker
So there's there's no door here, but there's a vent. Time to follow among us. Time to vent. We're venting. How do these guys even get out? They're just, they're ready to die in here. if they beat us, they're just gonna die in here if they can't figure a way out.
01:10:42
Speaker
Are you saying this out loud? Probably. that the Bob the Garchomp is like, you know what? He kind of has a point. How did we get out of here?
01:10:54
Speaker
Oh, please tell me we get Bob on our side. Let's get the Garchomp on our side. I'd love to have a Garchomp in our resistance. You hear an ominous voice echo through that is clearly silver.
01:11:07
Speaker
If you wish to leave, you will have to be defeated or defeat the other.
01:11:15
Speaker
Mmm, okay. In other words, you will leave when I let leave. someone they leave this space and go back to our world, or if... I will let you leave when I let you leave.
01:11:30
Speaker
Anyway, I'm gonna go now. That's very reassuring. Yeah, that sounds... Garchomp! Garchomp, a little deal right here while we're doing this whole load discussion for like pre-battle rules.
01:11:41
Speaker
No Earthquake from you and no TNT from me. You want make a deal? No deal. Okay! I don't think that Garchomp knows Earthquake. Will Earthquake even have any effect in this space? Garchomp's totally no Earth- I've seen so many Garchomp's use Earthquake. no No, no, I don't think this Garchomp knows Earthquake.
01:12:03
Speaker
Well, from what he said, it sounds like it. I mean, if we're- I also don't know if the Earthquake would work in a dark void. don't know, but he's never used to We've always either stunlocked him or one-shot him.
01:12:18
Speaker
We've never seen any of his moves. I wasn't able to save any of my grimy food then. Nope. I can finally empty my bag of the grimy food. Listen. Yes. Listen. Where's your bag? We more grimy food We just gotta load up on Pokeburgers.
01:12:34
Speaker
That's true. I do just need to go get another shipment of Pokeburgers into my bag and wait a few days. And then just spray water on them and leave them outside for a second.
01:12:49
Speaker
Listen, the fungus is already enrooted to your bag, so you just gotta stuff more than no crow.
01:12:55
Speaker
I don't think that new food is a fungus, but okay. Oh, it's definitely grown it's definitely grown mold, and it's definitely molded your bag. The mold will spread once more food gets in there. ah you guys hear some snapping, like someone snapping their fingers.
01:13:10
Speaker
Uh, Barb the guard shop's like, hey, are are we battling or not? Okay fine, Selina, can you just hit that Garchomp with an Ice Beam already? She like, think she's going... She's still blizzard yeah she's he's gonna initiate the battle with a Blizzard. So, I'm gonna have her do a Blizzard and then we will roll for an initiative... Well, she rolled a 4 for accuracy. It's been so long, actually it's not been that long, but it's been so long.
01:13:37
Speaker
It should... You need to roll accuracy checks for each target. Oh, do I? Okay, I don't actually have the definition written here.
01:13:49
Speaker
Let's see. You might be right, because I think that is how those work. Post your speed in the main chat, so we can keep track. Yeah, okay. Blizzard. Where is it? Blizzard.
01:14:02
Speaker
just as may freeze opponent but i know that each uh like each pokemon when you use a room move has its own like accuracy check it does um what do you guys want to do do you guys want to do one accuracy check or multiple accuracy checks listen guys this may be in our benefit but that this will stereotype do aoe moves have to roll multiple times Well, you roll for each target.
01:14:37
Speaker
That's how it normally works in the Mystery Dungeon games. Alright then. Get to rolling then, to Dakota. Get rolling. alright Okay, I guess... Do they get advantage for a sneak attack?
01:14:53
Speaker
um so No. No advantage for sneak attack. Okay, so are we fighting? Oh, I just came blown with blast the wind.
01:15:04
Speaker
That is four times a week too. make sure of ones here Okay, so four. So I 18. Oh, that's Garchomp's going to get messed up four times a week. And a six. So two of those hits.
01:15:16
Speaker
So since I know the one for the Garchomp failed, I'm going to say the Blizzard hit misses the Ursaring and hits the Garchomp and the Salamence. Nice! Two other quad effective hits.
01:15:29
Speaker
So I'm going to take a look with a Blizzard 3d10 plus 10. I gotta to get my 10s out. And don't forget to multiply some of them by by what would be 2? Well, since it's 1.5 to 2.
01:15:43
Speaker
It's 2.25. Whoopsie. Do we have know type effectiveness here? I thought said it was supposed to be super effective as 1.5 and contra force 2.
01:15:55
Speaker
Well, it'd be 2.25 because times every time. one point five we just made it we just made it go up by point five Every I mean, every... day um I to more fun. Yeah, we're doing the to 4x. It's standard Pokemon. Okay.
01:16:09
Speaker
we cut on got i think i think that's guys i think we were like Two i think we all said two x was more fun yeah we're doing the two x to four x so i mean it's standard broke okay right okay i mean yeah that's how do damages by four for them so have fun Yeah, cause Nata Scratch changed that a while back and I didn't like that.
01:16:29
Speaker
Ah, Cause I like it when you guys are more powerful. When you guys actually have powerful moves. I don't like nerfing people. No, I kinda would've liked the 1.5 if I had nerfed. As I removed all your grimy food. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Okay, okay. ill think Okay, okay. There's a difference between you guys having fun and being powerful and you guys having the ability to just fuck up every combat I ever throw at you.
01:16:51
Speaker
Listen, listen, i am shocked you did that with Grimy food and not with my stuff. Like, you chose him. have been the one who's- Well, hey, haven't- So many of your combat stuff. You haven't shown the actual- You haven't shown that you're actually abusing it. Bruce was just gonna go ahead and stuff Grimy food down everyone's brain size. Bruce has used in one combat against one opponent. I wiped out a squad of Dragon types. Yeah, I wasn't gonna do it on anyone. I was just gonna do it on anything that had a type effect against me. It was evil. Yeah, he- He did against a pseudo-legendary fully evolved that has a type matchup on him.
01:17:26
Speaker
I did it against five dragon types. should be doing this. ah Hold on one second. so And one shot all of them. Yeah, so... Better watch out, because I got those nat 1s.
01:17:38
Speaker
Um, so... Yeah! And you better not let me find another way to get rid of all your items. Um... Oh, god... next Next time we see someone disappear into the mission entrance, they're on their own.
01:17:53
Speaker
Holy shit. Just a quick question. Are my thunderous boots of invisibility gonna be dawn forever? Yep, those are disintegrated. Wow. I thought I had a nice... I actually had good plan for a change. So that whole side quest was clean Thanks a lot, Dakota. That whole side quest. You're welcome.
01:18:12
Speaker
Well i was gonna disintegrate your whole bag, but you rolled good, so... Hey, we have the Reviver Seeds. I was trying to get rid of all of those Reviver Seeds, by the way. From what Dakota is saying right now, i'm guessing the Dragon-types are gonna be really low.
01:18:30
Speaker
Or dead. anyway At this rate, I don't know if we're going to have enough time for this combat, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to have c Selena take her turn, and then we will roll initiative next episode.
01:18:41
Speaker
So, I'm going to tell you now that she, after adding all of her buffs and everything, Selena rolled a 41 for her Blizzard, and on the Garthawb, I'd say times 4, minus his special defense. 124!
01:18:57
Speaker
So that's 164 minus the special defense means Bob the Garchomp is taking 154 damage. it's minus before you multiply. Ah, okay. Yeah, So yes, Jake was correct. Aha! So...
01:19:12
Speaker
yeah so that's thirty one times four is still a hundred and twenty four damage so yes jake's correct ah so Wait, how do I know your minus defense minus? How do I know your multiple? Wait, how do you know that? Wait, what the fuck?
01:19:34
Speaker
I read your mind! on, I'm trying to 124, that's... Okay. So, that's Bob the Garchomp, and then... Bob Garchomp missed.
01:19:50
Speaker
Oh, it did. That's what I projected for the wrong one. The Dragonite and the Salamence got hit. I'm glad you you said he missed, but then said he hit like immediately afterwards.
01:20:02
Speaker
Wait, okay, so that only doubles for the Salamence. We know the Salamence is Dragon flying, isn't it? yeah Yeah. it's the it's All of the dragons are quad-leaked ice that are here. No, Dragonite is Dragonite. Yeah, Dragonite. Oh, God.
01:20:17
Speaker
o god Fuck! Should have let us run an ice type with us. Should not have let run an ice type. So, yeah, they would have been better. They honestly would have been better off as Dragonair and Shellgan instead of evolving them. Yeah, you thought you were going to be like, I'm going to make sure they don't die immediately.
01:20:40
Speaker
So, crap, just the Dragonair. Yeah, and this is just some this is just ah like the surprise round. The Dragonite only had 100 RIP.
01:20:52
Speaker
It took 124 HP. Man, we have built this fight up just to be over really fast.
01:21:00
Speaker
I mean, hey, just wait for Alfred to use Draco Meteor. The Salamence also only had 100 HP, which is now dead. So Salamence Dragonite's gone.
01:21:13
Speaker
with the Earth Ring... The Ursaring Mist, because only two of the four hits actually hit. What about the T-tar? there There is no Tyranitar.
01:21:24
Speaker
What? I told you I meant the Dragonite, not Tyranitar. I didn't have my notes pulled up, and I forgot which one. Man, you really should have added another member to against this, and now it's just a two v five 2v6?
01:21:38
Speaker
So, it is... Fucking Christ. It is not... We i may be able to... come Yeah, six b two So they get- so each of them get three of us, each.
01:21:51
Speaker
So, okay, as the Dragonites and the Salamence fade away, you guys still never learn their names. They vanish out of the pocket dimension.
01:22:02
Speaker
And you guys see them no more. And next time, we will be starting the combat with a 6v2. So, I'm just going to point this out there. i don't know if you guys noticed, I changed the last episode's name to You and What Army.
01:22:17
Speaker
So, this episode is going to be called Oh, That Army. me yeah No, it should be like the Peter Griffin like, oh, that's a pretty good army.
01:22:28
Speaker
yeah. So I love that. Okay. So. all right. So that is where we're going end this episode. I would do a combat, but ah I'll be 100% honest. We started this recording at 9 p.m.
01:22:41
Speaker
So. With how it's going, we may be able, we could have probably finished it with how this is going. The first two dead already. Maybe, but I'm not taking that chance because I've got other things to do as well. So, with that being said- So who are we up against?
01:22:57
Speaker
You guys are up against an Ursa Ring and Bob the Guardswamp. You know. Oh. Versus the Alfred Salina. So up just like before. Back to before. They never got reinforcements. i don't know what you're talking about. new Reinforcements never came.
01:23:11
Speaker
for them oh yep Oh my gosh, if only had you grab me food you could have just gave the garbage on PTSD like I'm coming for you man.
01:23:24
Speaker
I got a question. Do I have any? Yep. What's up? Oh, never mind. i couldn't remember if I had any Pokeburgers less than my thing, but I remember I dumped them all during my first episode.
01:23:37
Speaker
I know. I dumped them thinking you were going to follow my trail, but you guys took the train but I got kidnapped. Right, yes. You guys never actually use those.
01:23:48
Speaker
Yeah, that is there. Now, there's grimy foods wild in the world, stunning and petrifying people. So, does no one have any Pokeburgers left?
01:24:00
Speaker
We'll go get some. We'll teleport back. don't think
Boka Burgers and Gameplay Adjustments
01:24:03
Speaker
so. Say what? you have Boka burgers left? No, I think I tossed them. Yeah. Evelyn tossed her, or Hikaru tossed her Boka burgers when they started going bad. Bruce saw the potential in the rotting Boka burgers and kept them around.
01:24:23
Speaker
don't want to point this out. You put that stuff in a train car or buffet, so there are people that are probably hospital because of that. Okay, so I'm going to point this out. You guys got your Boca Burgers on ARC 2 Episode 1.
01:24:36
Speaker
Which was released on the 3rd of March of 2024. It is in the middle of January of 2026. It took two years for those Boca Burgers to run out.
01:24:48
Speaker
took two years for that one shit minute Boca Burgers. Two years for Dakota to find a use for them and get rid of them. You guys had 296 Boca Burgers and it took you this long to get rid of them. toy fair yeah To be fair, you did give us 99 Boca Burgers each at the start of our two. That fill up our belly immediately even though we just have to s sleep.
01:25:11
Speaker
Yep, and you told you specifically told us that we could only use them one at a time because they completely fill our belly. And if we ate another one, we threw um Yeah, we ate more than one. If we ate more than one, we threw up and lost an hp So, my thing with that is, i've initially realized you could just use those Boca Burgers for infinite healing, basically. And I was like, oh shit, I gotta nerf these somehow. Wait, so healing? That just gives us belly, it doesn't give us HP.
01:25:43
Speaker
no, because the way it originally worked... Yeah, originally how it worked, it was like, it was gonna give you like a few HP per burger something like it was an apple or something. So you guys could just down like 15 of them at a time and just instantly kill it. Well, you didn't need to give 99.
01:25:59
Speaker
Well, I was, that was around the time where I was- You have given like 4. I, well, I know, but the way the role playing played, was like, oh, here's a whole shipment of Bocaburg.
01:26:10
Speaker
Yeah. You got caught up in the funny... That was back when the show was a little bit more stupid. feel like we've... You know... least have wised up bit
Character Reflections and Closing
01:26:19
Speaker
more. Speaking of stupid, we never did an outro.
01:26:21
Speaker
That's because we're still recording. So, speaking of which, I have been the cover, your PM, your DM, your GM. I've been Evelyn playing Hikaru, who is very concerned that group everything she knows and loves will disappear.
01:26:40
Speaker
