Humorous Podcast Intro

00:00:00
Speaker
It makes sense. He misspelled his username. Therefore. He must not speak English fluently How funny is it that you're like kind of I kind of know you for like not being able to spell well and your username is spelled wrong That's hilarious, all right hey everybody it's me your boy i'm about to walk away Hello we have not started the intro yet we' get your shit Together Dakota Well, you said- It's like this is his attempt to start the intro. It is. So, let us dive on into this. What?

Character Introductions and Preferences

00:00:48
Speaker
Hello everyone, and welcome to a path through time. I'm Dakota, your PMU DMU TM, and sitting to my left is somebody who prefers PS5 over Xbox. It's me, Evelyn, and I've got someone with me who listens to nothing but Gregorian Chance now. That's me, Eli. You should really give them a try. They're a lot better than they sound. Don't think too hard on that. And sitting across from me currently drinking water,
00:01:26
Speaker
Refreshing hi, it's me i listening on my i Okay What I was i told me to drink water so i did Well, but no you had like 10 seconds of silence and we were all just collectively seeing how long we can make the silence I thought about it for a second realize my water bottles right here opened it took a drink and Anyway sitting directly below me is somebody who's actually a sophomore in college.

NPC Control and Plot Dynamics

00:01:58
Speaker
Hey Yeah Don't sound like it. Don't look like it, but I'm the youngest By a large margin, I don't know what's making it into the episode But the patreon might be the only one to detect that that lie little baby yes He's a little guy
00:02:17
Speaker
He is a baby. Aww, who's Jake our little baby? I'm gonna kill Selena. No, not Selena. I'm gonna drop her off a cliff. I don't care both of you have a girlfriend. I will have you know that Selena's a lot higher level than you guys. Selena's got plot arms. All like I gotta do is shove her off a cliff. She can die, definitely. Any of you guys can die. It'll just be a lot more difficult because she is a what she's She's a legendary creature. hes sent it's not gonna right out doesn't kidnapping me Is it fair to call them NPCs when they when they're she's technically controlled by me? yeah Yes, that's your whole job. you and see that's a whole day are you but That's how it works. Every NPC is controlled by the GM. She's got about eight years of adventuring experience on us. Well, I don't know, does it count? Because he rolls dice for his NPCs. No, I did account for that. It's not ruining anything by saying this, but she's level 20.
00:03:18
Speaker
Question, what you think you were gonna call the other NPCs that you also control? They are GMPM-DM-NCs. Or PCs. They're not PCs, they're by definition not PCs. I mean, i mean i mean they are no in that case, they're they're just GMPM-DMCs. There you go. Master, Pokemon Master, Dungeon Master characters. There you go. That's an awful thing. Selena is also one of them. They're run DMCs.

Storyline Recap: Walter and Selena

00:03:49
Speaker
Speaking of Selena though, why don't send everybody roll me a d4 and we will see who's doing the recap this episode. Smooth. ive pulled that I rolled it on top of my phone. One. Roll the four. Three. I i also rolled the four.
00:04:02
Speaker
Why does this always happen to me? I wrote a two. The chances of doing a recap are supposed to be extremely low. i think of I did a last episode. I think I might have done it like the last couple of episodes or something like that. You've done almost every episode. I mean, mostly there's a lot of Walter episodes. So if you do recaps and those, that that counts too. Funny thing is, I think we did do a recap for one of the Walter episodes. I don't remember if that's i it was the first one. and The whole thing was Walter got beat up by a door. oh yeah yeah and's right i Yeah, I think there's two episode three recaps in the show Technically because I gave an episode three recap in episode three point five and we also did an episode three recap in episode four So I don't remember if that made it in but if it did yeah i think they did i remember one At least one of the Walter episodes having a recap. Well, how am I supposed to know what you added in? I I don't have to go back and listen to it so Dakota give us the recap what happened an episode whatever the last one was called
00:05:09
Speaker
oh recap I definitely didn't just listen to the episode yesterday for a refresher so um and yet I still haven't having trouble remembering let me see so we ended up you guys ended up getting off of the train at gill beach you guys went to the flame back residence to talk to miss flame back not Veronica it's miss flame back I got it this time and you guys also want to just talk to Alfred about getting that Zek from the Lucario a job which is in progress, I believe, when you guys left the episode. But yeah you guys had a conversation with Ms. Flameback in which the world may have just tried dumping my mouse off my desk. Don't do that, please. I just like the image of, hey, mom, I found this random guy. Give him a job.
00:05:56
Speaker
it's Pretty much what you guys are doing. Yeah, but so you guys ended up going to talk to miss flame back and What happened? um You guys definitely went in and talked to Selena gave her side of the story you guys discussed it a little bit and Sammy was looking the windows Sami was licking the windows and ah attempted to murder the drampa. Sami needed something to do in the episode. I know. Yeah, don't worry, you guys will get a lot more to do in this episode. Walter made Selena blush. Yes, and we found out that Selena has a crush on Walter, which is fun, so I'm sure that won't mess up a story in any way, shape, or form.
00:06:39
Speaker
and On top of that, Ms. Flambach decided that she needed to give Selena, Abyss, and Brie a test in order to see if they were trustworthy enough to um be a part of the secrets.

Trust Test and Orb Strategy

00:06:51
Speaker
Their main secret of Secret Base and their whole operation and whatnot. So, that is basically where we left off except for one detail in which Walter dropped the fake- I didn't even explain what the test was. I'm gonna back up a second. So, yeah the test was Ms. Flambach is going to give Walter, is going to swap orbs with the Walter. Ms. Flambach has a fake orb and she's going to trade it for the real orb. And she's gonna have Walter trade back his guitar for the orb so that Selena can hold it, this fake orb.
00:07:26
Speaker
And then, and then what's gonna happen is if Selena runs off, there's no harm, no foul. And Selena wasn't trustworthy, but nothing was lost because the orb was fake. But Walter ended up dropping the orb in the exchange of the orbs. More like, more like DM Magic said, Walter, throw your hands. Well, definitely not me just trying to make things a little spicy here and there. What ended up happening is based on some dice rolls, Walter was 75% sure that the orb on the right was the real orb. I did make a dice roll and I do know that answer. I will not be divulging that information. There is a 25% chance that the orb on the left was fake. Was...
00:08:12
Speaker
real no i got the backwards yeah so there's a there's a 75 chance that the orb on the right was real and that's one that walter picked up and put in his bag the other orb is currently sitting with mr flint back and that is basically where we left the episode i don't think there was anything more i think absolutely right we're left with walter's luck it's probably the fake one he he has they gave that we have well i know the answer so And the and the real orb is with Sammy oh It's with Sammy. Oh, you're right. You're like stuck in your third in you. Yeah, we got four pouch. I can't remember Yeah, I can't get it. Did you eat it? No? No, I know something eating it. No, that was Evelyn's idea discussed Evelyn's like Sammy could eat it. I'm like what? yeah Oh i know that was something we just that you guys discussed but wait if you eat it and it got pretty gross imagine you eat it you get the power but you oh yeah so you can just oh yeah exactly the same if i eat it do i get the power to create portals uh well the way recycle works is that uh you have to
00:09:25
Speaker
You have to consume the item, or once the item is used, you get to get it back again. So you would have to use the orb and then have Sean recycle it. and We just figured out how to reuse the orbs. There you go. yeah unfortunate Unfortunately, you said that in front of your DM. So I got to keep recycle now. You do? Actually, no, no, no. OK. I'm going to be transparent with you. If you guys do try something like that, I do have an answer on how that's going to work. I will not change that from now to when that is. But that is very interesting. I hope that becomes something that actually happens, because that could be really cool, actually. Or terrifying. I need to try using Recycle and more weird objects. Somebody just hands me a fishing rod, and I use it, and then I recycle it. What if we give you brick?
00:10:20
Speaker
e you like it has to be something not consumable yeah i was go say how are you goingnna consume a fishing rod yeah like what do you now now your fishing rad right i mean you want would it doesn't do anything but you can eat it Yeah, but there's a hook on the end of it. The better thing is get one of those throwing items like an iron spike or something. Throw that, use the cycle, and get it back. Eat a spike. Eat a spike. No, throwing it doesn't mean to eat it. It just means to use it. Yeah, that's using the item. Yeah, I got caught up on the idea of consuming meaning you eat the item. What if we give you the money? Can you infinitely produce the Poke dollars?
00:11:04
Speaker
Wait, yeah, say I use okay item it only works The poke isn't consumed by any means that hes just all pop handed to somebody So you saying if I can with dollar he pops out $2 That's not how that works cuz he's not consuming it now if the original money was destroyed in the process maybe But other than that, no It'd just be a waddup mush of money thrown out. So if you chewed and ate one poke, then theoretically you could spit out another poke. But you would not be creating anything. Yeah. That's the whole point of the move recycle, is that nothing's getting created.

Gameplay Mechanics Debate

00:11:49
Speaker
It's just being recycled and used. I have generated our move for going in. OK, let us.
00:11:57
Speaker
G-max replenish. We are G-max replenish running Wait, isn't that Snorlax's G-max move? way i think it is Yeah, it really but on what don we what's it called G-max replenish? Yeah, G-max replenish It is Snorlax's move. Yeah. Hell yeah you go <unk>t have your something You just said one of your future moves when you G-max Bold of you to assume I'm introducing Gigantamax into this game. Yeah, you're one to talk Walter trying to have rampaging G Imagine we just run into a counter in a mate and a dungeon. It's just a G max Pokemon Guys come across a G max Pikachu at level 50 final boss. Oh boy G max. No metal. We've got it All right, it's of the episode we go
00:12:57
Speaker
where we left off is you guys were getting up from the table and Or no, no, know actually I just remember something. Yeah, you guys let in Selena miss flame back told you guys of a fake test They were doing they said they were just that you guys were just gonna hang out with them So you guys are all getting up from the table and you are going to quote-unquote hang out with them so What do you guys want to do? Hey, oh Selena. Do you want to go over to my parents place and get a slice of pizza or something? What do you mean, your parents' place? Like, your parents' house? No, we, oh well, technically, yes, but like, we own a restaurant, so like, we have a pizzeria underneath where we live, and you know, we sell pizzas and stuff, you know, it's called Taperoni's Pizza. Best pizza place in town? Yeah, she gets a bright look on her face, like, do you have any idea how long it's been since I've had a good slice of pizza? Apparently only a few days ago, Walter said you guys had pizza without me, and I was very offended because we make the best pizza in all of the alcohol region. I don't know where you're getting pizza if you didn't get it from me.
00:13:54
Speaker
I never said the pizza was amazing. The Walter did. Yes, we definitely had pizza the other day. I definitely didn't forget about that. Oh, sorry. I just read the Iveline's thing. She puts in the desk. I ah forgot about Gigantamax because she says it like that. we I don't even know that I made it into the episode. But anyhow, you guys are heading out the door. You guys are heading to Sammy's or Pepperoni's Pizzeria. Yep. Yeah. Oh boy. I was about to eat the pizza again. Beat it. He's gonna make it while I can eat at the same time.
00:14:33
Speaker
Okay, we can either fast travel to the pizzeria, or I will let you guys have some conversation on the way there. I mean, I don't have anything planned for walking, but I have stuff planned for when we get there. So whatever you guys wanna do. Okay. Alright, if there's anything you guys wanna do on the way, like stop at a shop or whatever, you guys are heading into, I believe it's

Shopping and Negotiations

00:14:51
Speaker
downtown? Is that where Sammy lives? Yeah. but Yeah. Okay. I would like to stop at a shop. I wanna spend some money. I gotta do it. Okay, as long as you make it quick, what shop are you stopping at? Wait, we don't even know the shops in Gale Beach. shops Yeah. What kind of shops are here? You guys have a general store, a pizzeria for sure. I know that you guys have a sporting goods store, which is Hikaru's place. Um, I'm trying to remember what I said at the beginning of the show because I'm pretty sure I basically said anything you guys can think of was basically there. But I don't know if it's at the Gale Beach or Volkenburg.
00:15:28
Speaker
Well, there's the bubble tea store. There's the bubble tea store. It's right across. Yeah, it's right across from Sami's pepperoni. Pepperoni's pizzeria. Is there a T.M. store anywhere? Um, I'm going to say, oh, I forgot to I forgot to redo the shop some some go in the general store usually, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to say you know that TMs are held in the general shop. All right. Then I'll go in the general shop. But the TMs are limited to our rank or something. Possibly. I don't have that. I don't quite have that implemented here. So I'm going to just have to eyeball it basically. So um you walk into the shop and you can see the mail can't get scotched like howdy there. What can I get you guys? Hey, um I'm looking for some TMs. Yeah, we got some of those discs. What do you got in mind?
00:16:24
Speaker
Preferably a fighting type move. I'm looking something that will be very helpful when I'm in a sticky situation like a punching or kicking kind of way. and and Mega punch, mega kick. Okay. Specifically these ones. Oh, that would be hilarious. Better ice punch, stone punch, any of the punches, any of the kicks or any of the punches. So here's how I'm going to do it. I can't store it by rank, but I'm going to see how powerful the move is. Mega, mega, mega kick. Do you know Ice Punch? No. Ice Hammer is considered a punching move. Is it? What? Yeah, it's it. Really? Oh, yeah. Because it's... Whose move is that? Trabromitable. I can't find it. It's a signature move of Trabromitable. And Trabromitable gets Iron Fist, so it gets it. Oh, great. Items lost. That's what I need. I mean it doesn't make sense.
00:17:19
Speaker
Fuck. I didn't know. Sorry. I did not want to go. I accidentally edited part of the shop. Oh crap. The animation for ice amers literally has done giant icey fists swinging down. Oh my gosh. Half the shop just deleted it or nowhere.
00:17:35
Speaker
No, not my stuff. No. Oh no. it No, it's literally just cut in half. It's like half the register. They have everything. Half the door. Hey other players, did we come in with him or is it just, is he the only one in the store? I assume we came in. Yeah, it's up to you guys. It doesn't matter. I didn't really think Bruce was going to be going in, but if everyone else was going in, Bruce would also go in. To be fair, I didn't think Bruce was going to leave his house, so... Alright, you guys converse while I try and figure this out. I have not... I don't know why TMs are not working. I have Bruce and I'll keep an eye on Selena now. So... Yeah, Selena's there in the shop with you guys. Okay, then yeah I guess we're all good. Sammy has to. He's the one who has to stay close to her. and That's what I was gonna say. Why do you need to? I have the orb. Wait, I just thought of something. What if c Selena goes one way, Abyss goes another way, but and you go with Selena. Wait, no, not mine. Not mine, not work. You can just go with Selena and cancel each other out. Yep.
00:18:39
Speaker
Okay, so TMS are not in this system. So I'm just going to have to google a list of TMS and then just eyeball it really TMS aren't in the system Really? Kyle bought one bought some yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I looked through the shop last I looked through the items yeah it was during the arc where they went to the baseball tournament or in like the very beginning of the series series he bought a tm where they made it's where they met like did raus Yeah, well we're also using a newer version from them from then so almost I'm thinking he might have removed them So I'm going to look up Okay, so what moves are you looking for specifically because I can't just list all of them Any of the punching moves. Yeah, basically any of the punching or mega kick. Except not mega punch or mega kick because those are normal type moves, not fighting type moves. They are? Oh my gosh, I just saw a punch. That's why I was laughing when you guys said mega punching, but I can't because I'm like, those are the punching moves. I could swear they used to be fighting. You know one of my favorite moves used to be power up punch and that doesn't exist in the games anymore. It doesn't? Yeah, they took away power up punch.
00:19:52
Speaker
day oh my gosh you' I'm so dumb when it said mega punch I went I my brain thought is power-up punch. That's why I was thinking it was fighting Oh, nope. What about mom? Okay is mock punch a fighter mock punch is a fighting move mock punch is the fla priority move Okay, so once TM is Walter looking for time. Also, Jake, bullet punch is a steel-type move. That could give you and a steel advantage ahead of time before evolving. Yeah, actually, yeah, I'd do that. He's already got metal claw. Oh, yeah, he's got metal claw on everybody. Oh, yeah, I got metal claw. Hey, what if I just get revenge early?
00:20:31
Speaker
No. I mean, revenge isn't the best part of your move. No, it's not. especially Yeah. yeah
00:20:40
Speaker
Do you want one of us to die? If you're fast, revenge isn't great. And I think that's one of the faster people on our party here.
00:20:55
Speaker
tyler is the thunder but well i think your revenge always moves last I don't think that's how it works in the system. The elemental are gonna be real expensive just so you know. least you more element tohatan um Because I'm using the ten nine list I'm taking I'm looking at the LP costs compared to others and like side beam is 800 LP and The elemental punches are all 5,000 lead points. Oh, so um it is going to be ah Extremely expensive
00:21:35
Speaker
oh alright So okay, so so you're asking for the punches and the the the clerk is just like all right We got a these punching moves and he pulls a fire electric and whatever the other the one was ice punch. I lost my list There it is fire punch thunder punch and ice punch. He's like, all right These are going for about 20 K currently. They are very rare. I only have one in stock of each of them Got rock smash rock smash rock smash he like sips through his discs and he uh rock rock i got 15 of these rock tomb oh brick freak nope i do not have facts of rock smash darn um brick freak is 2500 poke normally in red rescue team
00:22:25
Speaker
I'm trying to find Brick Break. Brick Break's going for the same price. It's like, yeah, I got Brick Break right here and he pulls up. This one's also going for 20K. It's one of my one of one discs. This is a rape off. Sure is. If you're looking to spend a bit more money, he gestures to the other side of the ah the store. He's like, we just got some new stock in. I don't know if it's something you're interested in. But he like sweeps his arm to the side, gesturing towards the other side of the shop. And you see on the shelf are a bunch of bags. And what you see the and what you see is you see the starter bag, the normal bag, silver bag, platinum bag, the ace bag, and the hyper bag. We have the starter on right now, right?
00:23:08
Speaker
Yes, you guys have the starter bag. What is the each bag that a new bag gives more room we could put in? Yeah, each bag costs 10,000 more than the last one. So the normal bag is 10,000, the silver bag is 20, platinum bag is 30, each bag is 40, and the hyper bag is 50. So Walter's the only one who could even afford a new bag at the moment. I need to do a few more missions. I need two more grand before I stop buying any of this. Don't you have like 16,000 poke? 18. oh well you definitely got enough yeah i thought you said 20 000 for all these no it's ah starting with the normal bag it's 10 000 then 20 then 30 i thought we already i thought we already had starting no we're unranked you had the starter bag yeah the normal bag is 10 000 and it goes up from there i'm just gonna go for like a regular potions
00:24:02
Speaker
okay uh potions potions and berries don't exist it's berries all right berries berries okay i want to see all your berries show me your berries he's like yeah i got all my berries over there and he chest just towards a bunch of baskets that are holding various berries you go over to one of the baskets and it says orangeberries eighty poke a piece and Why does Walter want a new backpack? He doesn't. i was just make It was just my way of saying, hey, these are now in stock in all the general stores. Guys, what berries do you think we should have? I think we already all went berry shopping. Yep. Those are a lot of berries. Did we? Yeah, you guys already got all your berry shops, berry shopping. Oh. Yeah. I was like, never mind. I'm done. These prices are rip off. I thought it'd be like at least 10 grand, but not this. Okay, then.
00:24:55
Speaker
ah go out of business as fast as that king is con fun fact here i just looked through all the tms available in all of the mystery dungeon games the elemental punches are not available as tms in mystery dungeon ah Well, I've been looking... Well, because the movesets we're using are based off of the newest generation, which at this time is Gen 9, so... And if your Pokémon is not available in there, then it's the next Gen Town. So I've just been... I looked for TMs based on Gen 9. Okay. Since those are the movesets we're using. ah How much damage would Fling do if I threw a Bokeh McRiddle at someone? That's a good question. Oh my gosh, Bokeh.
00:25:38
Speaker
it'd be a mini gun you go just chucking all of them it says the power it says the moves power and effect depends on the item st yeah depends on how the item as determined by the gm so it's got infinite ammo That is that is something we Okay, let me let me take a look at fling IRL and I could pair fling with recycle like yeah infinite ammo oh no yeah Oh My god, it'd be like you eat it recycle it because comes gooey when you throw it No, I would throw it like we said before throw the item and I just get it back. No, but still I
00:26:25
Speaker
think if you did that way first Strangely, it's only gonna have a base power of 10, but there's different, uh, you can use different items for higher powers. Yeah, so it'd be a base power of 1 in our system. Fling, let's see, okay. It'd be 1d6 plus 1 for damage. Yo, be a champ and fling a tree. ah Just chuck a tree at someone. Let's see, what are my items? What do I have? Wait, i have a I have two blast seeds. That would do some big damage with fling. Yeah. I wish I could find out, but anytime I open something related to fling, my whole computer goes haywire. yeah Let me do it. Yeah, I'm doing it now. Let's see. Lots of moves that say um should be fighting to say normal, which is... Yo, could I get coaching? Oh. Coaching?
00:27:21
Speaker
The user properly kept coaches. It's la pose one boost in their attack and it's arresting So it's like helping hand so in the mystery dungeon series fling has a different effect Is that a thing? How is it listed in our system? Here is the question. it okay so this is what it says it just says depends on how old I dump in parenthesis gm so it's up to my discretion but I would like that to be similar to mystery dungeon okay well because in mystery dungeon fling is a status move that sends the enemy flying across the room if there's another enemy in range the target will fly and both pokemon take 10 hp damage oh my gosh interesting
00:28:08
Speaker
yeah well that's uh uh that applies to mission leave that up to sean that applies to mystery dungeon because it's not a grid-based floor plan we don't really have that so i'm gonna leave it up to sean which one do you think you would have more fun with what are the options uh and okay you can either fling a pokemon across a dungeon or you can fling your held item with recycle i I think I held it, it makes more sense considering we don't have the, you know, the tiled floor floor thing that they do in Mystery Dungeon, because that makes sense to do it. Like in Mystery Dungeon, where you're only coming going a square at a time, but we don't count movement in our in our in our dungeons. OK, so in in Super Mystery Dungeon, Fling opens the inventory and allows the leader to choose an item to Fling excluding held items.
00:29:00
Speaker
only works when a visible enemy is in fan shaped area up to 10 tiles in front. That sounds fair. And Dakota can change that to be from tiles to an an approximate number of feet, you know, ah away. Yeah, just an eyeballed amount of feet. Like just like if as long as it's not like a football field way, I think that's fine. Kind of like i movement this whole time. As long as we can see the enemy. yeah Yeah, basically and as long as you're not a million miles away. Yeah, so yeah, I'm fine with that and depending on the rarity of the item I will give it a damage base
00:29:37
Speaker
So let me look at the damage chart. So damage base one. I'm going to say it starts at damage base six, which is like the standard move. And for each rarity of item is going to go up one. I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but we'll figure that out. I'm going to say like on a scale of one to 10, six being one and 16 being 10 with 10 being like an elemental balance, six being an oran berry. Okay. So, um, Is Vacuum Wave of a TM in this? Vacuum Wave, possibly? and Let me look at the move. Probably not, because that was exclusive to like the first two games in the series. Was it really? thank you Vacuum Cut? Or is it Vacuum Cut

Revival Blessing Mechanics Q&A

00:30:22
Speaker
or Vacuum Vacuum Wave. Vacuum Wave being the other, or the special version of priority fighting move.
00:30:31
Speaker
Well, no vacuum wave is a room-based attacking move. Wait, really? is It sounds like a ah says I have a priority with it. Yeah, I think Oh I am I am okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. Okay. It's just the special version of mock brunch. I always think of the vacuum cut too. Yeah. Oh As far as vacuum cut goes Vacuum wave, not vacuum cut. That's what we want. Well, there's something that said vacuum cut. No, no, I was just not seem to be in here. I wasn't asking about it. I was just saying I was also thinking of it. That was what he was saying. Yeah. OK. Jake was asking about vacuum wave. Oh, whoops. Hold on. Vacuum. Vacuum wave. No, it's only vacuum wave. Vacuum cut does not exist in the system. OK. Fair enough. How much is it? Does he have it?
00:31:30
Speaker
i and Literally just said he doesn't have it Yeah, if I can cuts not their vacuum wave is there that's we ask for vacuum wave okay okay so Okay, who's asking for vacuum wave now that we're actually getting back into the role play things me walter okay so you he's like uh let me take a look like rummages around in his disc box and like uh-huh he pulls out a brownish looking one he's like i got a vacuum wave right here this one's going for about five thousand okay i'm gonna be traveling a lot soon so how about i make it three thousand i'll advertise everywhere i go advertise yourself how about you roll me a d20 and we'll see if i fall for it
00:32:16
Speaker
Are you trying to be like the bike salesman? Advertise my bikes and I'll give it to you for free. What's it under? So cute. Fourteen. Oh, he's like, hmm. Three thousand. That's almost half of that's almost half off. I'm going to get advertising everywhere. I'm going to be traveling across the region. Okay fine, if you let me tattoo my logo on your forehead, then I will let you have this for $3,000. How about you just give me flyers and I'll put them up everywhere? How about no? Because I rolled an 18. Fine, how about $4,000 then? $4,000? Hmm, that sounds like another rule to me.
00:33:05
Speaker
Ten. Oh, he got 11. I just imagine. Oh, yeah. I just imagine these two Pokemon in the shop just rolling dice at each other. No, this much.
00:33:18
Speaker
Pretty much is happening. He's just like, no help. but I think the lowest I'm going to go is forty nine ninety nine. I'll do five thousand because I'm not doing that math. All right. Five thousand it is. All right. There's a way you only can use it once and that's done. No, it's got a pp of well pp doesn't exist in this system. Not this version anyway Yes, once you take all right, yes, well well yeah so turns into a use tm and then like it and That's what your cycle is normally used for
00:34:00
Speaker
I want to back that up a bit. Can I use it now or do I gotta wait for later? You can use it now. I want to back that up about the ah no

TM and HM Strategy Session

00:34:07
Speaker
PP thing. What about revival blessing only me having one PP in the games? Is that just infinite use? What is revival blessing? You get to revive a teammate. or a faint 10 revival blessing in fact, it doesn't have anything it says type category power power accuracy accuracy It's the very first thing listed so it doesn't actually have any effect a white If you look in the moves list it's the very first thing it just says revival blessing type category power power accuracy accuracy the first thing is 10,000 and 10 million volt cycle or 10,000 volt echo
00:34:46
Speaker
but Are you looking at this revives the fainted party Pokemon to half HP No, yeah now it's showing and that was weird. Okay. I don't know if it bugs or what happened there I have a caveat at effect to say like her this can only be used once or whatever once for a long rest or something Once for yeah long rest Yeah I couldn't like how recycled it is being used right now just so it's not overpowered. yeah Okay so is that all you guys are doing in the shop? Yeah while you're still digging through that box there uh do you have fling in there? Fling fling fling fling let me take a look let me take a look fling fling it is sir
00:35:34
Speaker
won't you hold on one surface and i want my yeah All right fleeing this one is going for five thousand poke It is the same base power as the other one, which is strange because it's technically not base six. I Don't have that much money. Okay. All right Well, how much money do you have How much you say do um You said it has five thousand
00:36:04
Speaker
what about um what about rest do you have that in there let messy restless rest rest rest forest curse hello rest yeah he pulls out a really big team and he's like not this one uh rest yes i'm selling this one for 3 000 per day oh oh okay
00:36:33
Speaker
Aren't you going to learn rest later at some point? Let me look at the rest. Oh, wait, hang on. If we ever make it learn to on the next level, what level are we now? Oh, 11, 11, 11. No, I don't. I don't learn. I don't learn rest at all. Really? Oh, oh, OK. Wow. Not even as a star lax if you do evolve. probably I don't think we're gonna evolve this campaign it's a very I can hope Selena did it here's the thing i I don't learn rest but I do learn fling at level 32 well you just gotta to wait till level 32 then yeah if we survive then over an arc 28 yeah knowing how much XP we get like during for like yeah we level up per season
00:37:32
Speaker
I sure hope we don't take that long to level up again. I don't think I got XP for like the quests I did during when I was captured. I don't think I never got XP. You guys get XP, but you guys also get level ups for major story progressions. Snorlax learns rest at level 20. Actually, no, hold on. Hikaru wanted Surf, right? Yeah. yeah
00:37:58
Speaker
yes Snorlax does learn Rest at level 20. How much did you say Brick Break was? Brick Break? That was TMs. Listen, I got money, not that much money. So he's like, oh yes, Surf. He pulls out a big blue disc and he's like, this one's going for 8,000 poke. It is base, base nine. Okay. i Well, I'll have to, I'll have to get back to you on that. Um, but thank you. It's really cool. It's really cool that you have, that you carry surf. Yep. Walter, did you get something? I don't remember. Actually, maybe my mom will know surf. As soon as a car walks away, Walter just pays for it and he takes it. All right. All right. Subtract 8,000 poke from your inventory. Uh, do you, do you have temper flare?
00:38:53
Speaker
um and sure flair I've never even heard of that one. It's a new one. Alright. Sammy, I have just barely enough to buy your thing. He's like, sure do. He pulls out a big fiery red disk. He's like, this one's going for $7500. I do not have that much money. It's base each power. I'm literally just basing these prices off of their base power. Well, that's really nice. But I think I'll I think I'll buy rest outright. If you want to cover fling, that's cool. But I think I might just pick up rest for now. All right.
00:39:27
Speaker
How much money do you have, Bruce? I've only got to like $4,700. If you can drop that down to $4,500, that would be pretty cool. How much was it? How much money do you spend? is Drop it down to $4,500. What is it? Which one are you guys looking at? For... Temper Flare. For the Temper Flare. Temper Flare is going for $7,500. yeah can you can you I'll just drop three grand I'll just drop three grand on that for you oh dang we're just dropping all of our money on TMS huh apparently so I mean I'm also dropping forty five hundred oh we
00:40:13
Speaker
I'm dropping 90% of my money on this too. So far I've dropped 13 grand. Yeah. Which is lower percentage of your money than my money than 4500 is from my money. oh want know you cook wage I just realized if I do this plan, if I do this plan I'll have one attacking move because I'm thinking of getting rid of Lick and that it would make Tackle my only attacking move. Oh no. By the way, Walter just gives the serve to Hikaru. He's like, here you go. Are you sure you want to buy me this TM? I can come back for it later, Walter. That's me, buddy. I'm good.
00:40:58
Speaker
I owe you you guys actually came for me. I didn't expect that. Do you guys think I should do it a blick or defense curl? Defense curl pretty much useless in my yeah, it's like ral it's like Ralph's thing where he uses one move to make his crit 19 Okay, probably never have and never helped. All right. Yeah, it help it happened once I Think I'll take um I think I'll take that that rest when I asked you about I'll give you here's a here's a three grade rest Yep, and he hands you the pink disc and he actually I think rest is normal rest is working How does this work? Do we put it in a fifth slot or do we just replace a move? Nope, you eat it. No, it turns into a You recycle then you recycle it
00:41:50
Speaker
Wait, I don't have slot and yeah, I'm just I don't have any slots in my bag for anything oh boy yes bu And my held items the blue orb If you just if you just use it immediately, I'm not gonna count it against if you use it immediately Recycle it and then sell it back to him. Does that work? and i do that i was thinking wait we should do the most expensive ones wait a minute Can I do that? do that Well, there's only one way to find out. Wait, do Wolters, because his is more expensive than everyone's. Okay. Was it? How expensive was it? It was eight grand. Okay. Eight grand. I mean, you'll only be getting 4,000 back max, but... Nah, nah, nah, nah. Go keep and sell at another place if I have to. Okay. All right, can we just do that now?
00:42:45
Speaker
What? Is that what you're doing? is Hang on, I got it. Hang I got it. Let me use my rest, let me use my TM first so I know where I'm putting it in my slot. Do I put it in the fifth one or do I replace my defense girl? you If you have the fifth slot open, you can put it in your fifth slot. Okay. Yeah, it goes in your fifth slot and then you need to be able to um fulfill the conditions required to learn it. which brother won't tell us. Yeah. Sorry. Which is certain to master it. Yeah. OK. Yes. ah So that's taken care of. We can do your plan now. All right. Here we go. In certain mouth. CD disc. I think I don't remember exactly. He put in a mouth. Just press his nose. He says it just slides in. I think. You know, after did you actually. Did you actually buy surf for me? Yep.
00:43:46
Speaker
We're friends, aren't we? Yeah. Um, I just, I just realized that learning surf might not be such a great idea. I thought it'd be funny, but like it wouldn't be funny for, um,

IQ Skills and Strategic Advantages

00:44:00
Speaker
Bruce. i Yeah. You'd have to use it. when I'm not around because I was like, that'd be funny. yo Shopkeeper. but Can I get a refund? Uh, I can buy a back from you, but not a full refund. It depends on this thing I have here called a nice. All right. How much is it? How much? Let's see. How much did you buy the surf for? I don't remember. Like 30,000, 8,000, I think. 8,000. Was that the expensive one? Which one was the one? Surf was another eight. No, no, no. My vacuway was 5,000. The surf was eight. Yeah, surf was 8,000.
00:44:43
Speaker
okay so he's like hmm he like picks up to the uh disc and like um we haven't even touched it yet it hasn't even been used yeah we he pulls out a magnifying glass and looks at it he's like hmm i'm gonna be honest this isn't in the very best condition i think i'll give you guys 4100 for this drop dead he takes the the the surfing team try to haggle just tells the guy to Wait, I think I could learn it. Have you seen my haggling? Okay, let me try this. Wait, Sammy could learn it? Here. I could learn it. Let me try this haggling thing. Walt has not been great at haggling so far. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna try to haggle this. So, ah hey, look here. we yeah okay We just bought this from you. Any damage that was on it, clearly. We haven't left this shop. You've been watching us this whole time. Clearly it was from you before you sold it to us. We didn't even use it.
00:45:40
Speaker
Note, there hasn't even been any recycle shenanigans going on with this disc. It's an HM2, so it doesn't break like normal TMs. Shouldn't ever be any problems with it. I think we should get yeah at least a 6000 back for this. Hm, I see, I see. That's a pretty compelling argument. Because of that, I'm going to let you roll two dice, and I'm going to have you roll with advantage. The moment Bruce has recycled shenanigans, Sammy's standing in the back with his finger up like, hang on a second.
00:46:20
Speaker
so let's see i've got a oh dang i've got a minus one to cute so i got a 17 instead of an 18 he rolled a nine he's like um interesting interesting on further inspection this is the best tm i've ever seen uh i'm gonna be 9 000 I'm going to give you $8,500 for this gem right here. Beautiful. All right. There you go. and Yeah. Oh my gosh. Here you go, Walter. Here's your $8,500 back. You just made $500 on it. He's like, sweet. I am back up to $11,000. Well, you made your money back. Yeah. You sure you don't want fling? All right. Is there anything else you guys want to buy for today?
00:47:13
Speaker
Hold on, do the recycling, let's see if we can get more on this. Get more of her. Playback. Oh wait, my team was the next, land the next and most expensive at $7,500. Yeah, so yeah, I'm going to learn ae this temper flare over Ember. OK, oh my gosh, that sounds dangerous prices each again. Okay. And yeah, give the TM to Sammy to go and use Recycle on it. Get back the TM again. Okay. i I use Recycle. I don't have to roll for that. So here you go. Here you go. We'll see you back now, I guess. I got a TM Timber Flare back.
00:48:02
Speaker
so I want to make it a point. I'll wait no I want to make it a point to say right now He does not eat it just some magical aura comes out of his hands, and it's good again Okay, I was gonna ask about yeah Okay, so it's a perfectly good. Yeah, I'm temperslayer use once recycled works. Just like it's brand new i How much will you give me for it? hmm let me think about that uh why don't you go ahead and roll with advantage and we will see how much nat actually oh but okay well um yeah not once uh why'd you roll or not 20 well what did you roll i rolled a 15 should hold a one oh boy
00:48:52
Speaker
I'll give you 10,000. Take it or leave it. That's exactly what I was going to do. He's like, oh my God, this thing's so pristine. Take 10,000 and just like give me that. OK, here you go. So he has 10,000. I'll take 5,000 and give Walter 5,000. Because both my money. Sweet. So in all, I've only spent 2,000 here and I've gained a thousand.
00:49:20
Speaker
I how economy works. iowa will'll be back in a few We'll be back in a day. We'll not be back in a day. You don't go anywhere. Well, if you want, I mean, we made a bunch of money back. If you want, you could still get me that TM if you want. But I mean, I'm not going to press you on that. Hm. Walter's going to need a charm check. up Wow. Damn. Fine. Okay. i'll I'll roll persuasion. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. Roll for cute. I rolled a 15 and I think I'm level 1. I think, hang on. Q is 2, I have a level 1 and Walter do it for you. I got 15 plus 2. Great, I'll pay for it. ah I was joking about it. Okay, the thing I think as I said was 5,000. Yeah, you did. that Hey, Bruce, thanks for paying for this. Just 5,000. No problem, buddy. Alright, back down to 11,000.
00:50:17
Speaker
No problem, buddy. Remember, i got I got the family business going. We got the haggling. We're good. To be honest, if we get broke, we can just ask your mom for more money. And I got the recycling. Wait, hang on, guys. I have a gold nugget I could sell. Oh, no. Wait, we do? I mean, I got a few gummies if someone would sell it. It's right. I learned my lesson. we do I've learned my lesson, at Dakota. Don't you ever test me like that again.
00:50:49
Speaker
ah I got post of a cinch it. Okay. Okay. Go again. Hang on. Hang on He said he starts to hand Sam the TM for fling then I say oh hang on I just realized I don't have any room in my bag my bag for it and he shifts through it pulls out this golden nugget Hey, my guy, how much do you want to sell? Could you can you buy this gold nugget off of me? He takes a look one quick glance. and He's like, is that gold?
00:51:15
Speaker
old spot yeah gold i she is that goldy dumb hands a
00:51:26
Speaker
ah yeah i got it i got it from se a yes sorry No, you're fine I was gonna make you roll, but honestly I think it should just be a fixed amount it literally says sells for 3,000 Oh, what? Wow, that's perfect. I was literally going to give you 3000 for it. Guess what? I made my money back on the rest of you. I spent 3000 and made it back. Oh, that's good. Yeah. So he's like, God, God, God, God. And he takes the money. He gives you 3000 for it. I mean, if you don't play welcome back, suddenly he's got a cowboy hat and i pick a pickaxe. Oh, yeah. There'd be gold in these streets. Oh, yeah. By the way, I I.
00:52:06
Speaker
I got rid of leer for temper flare instead of ember. Yeah, good choice. Leer is utterly useless. I got rid of indoor because I'm like, I'm never going to use this. I tried it once, did not work. Never say never. He's laying on my keyboard and he's typing out a thousand fours right now. I guess for now, until I get my fifth slot open, I just put it to my bag. I have so many. All my moves are attacking. yeah I have nothing but attack. just knock my mouse down second Get off my keyboard that but that back I have two moves that I can only use once for a long rest. So I mean There's that yeah That's our tank everybody i actually lost my mouse I go be right back
00:52:56
Speaker
Hello there and thank you for listening to our episode. I am Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM, and if you want to hear more from us, go join our Discord, which should be linked down below. Let's thank the music producers for this episode. We have Golden Run City from Pokemon Heart, Gold, and Soul, Silver, Pokemon Mega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Game On, Mauville City Game Corner by ZenithAceus on YouTube, Surf King Megamart from Pokemon Sun and Moon, Royal Avenue from Pokemon Sun and Moon, and Pokemon Center theme Low Fire Remix by Glitch X City. back to the show so no are you kidding me oh by the way guys I don't think I should I don't think I've ever told you guys but I have four gummy um gummies with me oh yeah oh we have gummies gummies yeah we've got gummies too I've got two orange gummies do you have I got one I got one orange three blue wait
00:53:53
Speaker
We should trade gummies. Wait. Oh, my God. I thought you meant. I have two orange gummies, too. OK. Oh, my God. I thought you meant wheat gummies like in real life. No. Evelyn. Hey, Walter, we should trade gummies because the orange gummies are fighting gummies. Blue gummies are water gummies, which are super effective against fire, which means they're good for Bruce. Because that's how gummies work for whatever reason. what Then why would I want fighting? fighting you super Because the only exception is that if the type matches your type, you get an extra bonus.
00:54:35
Speaker
Sure. I'll take the three ball blue. I'll take the three orange. You take the blue. I have two orange gummies. You have three blue gummies.
00:54:47
Speaker
I'll give you two blue, there you go buddy. I actually have two, I have two orange gummies too. I should actually eat those. Yeah, because those are super effective against you, which means they're good for you. What does that increase? Uh, it increases IQ strong against your primary type plus eight IQ matches your primary type plus 10 IQ neutral against your primary type plus six. So, it's the same type as me and I have three of them. How much would I go up by? 30. That'd be 30. So, IQ is your human stats? No, IQ. Yeah, IQ points. you skills Going towards IQ skills. It's right underneath your human stats. Oh, I don't have anything in there. Yeah, because it's zero right now.
00:55:40
Speaker
OK, so what do though what do they get used for? OK, so I guess we'll run through this. So if you take a look on your sheet, go to the page that says IQ Skills. This is basically like your shop. You can use your spend your IQ points to take any one of these skills. And the number on the left is the price, and the effect is on the right. I gotcha. At any time, you can learn these skills. we should we really should be getting du gummies and eating them then okay yes we should exactly why i exactly why i revamped the entire iq system attempted to use my tin already and one of my tins go for it for bodyguard i don't know what is buddy tough roll basically i roll a tough and if i i take half damage if i get a full i block and attack from somebody
00:56:34
Speaker
okay so it's like defending on a JRPG you take damage for someone else walter can be the tank you can be the healer and you yeah if you guys want to uh if you guys want to spend your skill points we can do that it's so weird for a snow relax not to be the tank i mean munchlax right now he's more built to heal because he's got rest and recycle did we use up did we use up 10 bellies at some point no no you guys haven't been doing any heavy traveling for traveling so my belly went down 26 to 16 at some point oh well you can put that back up to 26 okay so if i use my two orange companies that gets me how many points four
00:57:19
Speaker
my two orange gummies get you 16 16 what oh my gosh okay because fighting beats your primary type meaning that you get plus eight per gummy so i eating my two blue gummies i also get 16 wait but you said you said i got 30 yeah i'm only eating three because you're a fighting type if it matches you if the gummy type matches your type you get plus 10 iq and you agree i made uh i i made gummies a lot better in the ptt's yeah you did they're more usable yo um sammy you want to trade one of your orange from my blue is one thing i really want uh walter i just kind of ate them i'm sorry all right gone
00:58:08
Speaker
Oh, God. Yeah. And Kekaru might want to eat her yelly gummy now. Yelly gummy. I'll have my I'll have my one yellow. I have four yellow gummies, but I'll just have one for now. You have four yellow gummies? Where did you get the other three from? We got three. I don't remember. The quest that we did, they gave us gummies. She got the yellow ones from it. She got three and we got two, though. Hmm. okay i don't know yeah okay i'll eat all four of them so that'll give you 40 40 iq points yeah yep holy shoot okay wait how does this work again okay so if you go to your iq skills page you'll see no but how are you calculating the number of iq points i get if you it'll look under the definitions it says
00:58:59
Speaker
You are, yellow gummies are electric type gummies, so since they match your type, you get plus 10 IQ per gummy. Wait, wait, wait, hold up. Yes. It matches your primary type, plus 10 IQ. Strong against your primary type. Okay. So 40. Cool. So what I'm going to do with the 40 IQ points that I have now.
00:59:28
Speaker
Dakota? what Yeah, what's up? Can you explain chief? Can you explain cheerleader? Cheerleader, where's to the leader once per battle when an allies attacking will cute success you added d eight damage and make success add before damage So that gives that give us the person who is attacking more damage Yes. Yes, but not you. Okay Anyone except for you. And as long as it's not like I'm saying my XP out. There's one there's something at 40 I want to get. Yeah, because there's like a bunch of stuff like down to 80. There's like incredible ones like absolute mover where you can cross water lava valleys and can crush walls. Oh, that'd be really good against doors. Walter should save up for that one. I cash mine in for cheerleader.
01:00:22
Speaker
okay so all right so you know chelea cool hey yo how how much of the berries here store how much how much of the berries here berries or gum all all berries all berries I am making this executive decision all gummies are worth 1500 focus oh shoot you lowered the price from last time nice Yes because it was chaotic last time. This might be temporary because I still haven't figured out the shop system. I need to change that from how Android had it. Alright. It is just not working. I could get 80 right now. Let's see. 80 dummies? No, I could get 80 enough IQ points. Oh, IQ points. So there's no way you have 80, like 120,000 bokeh. Okay, I'm gonna buy two red gummies then. Okay, take two red gummies, subtract 3,000. And I'm
01:01:17
Speaker
I gotta do some math here. Actually, I'm also going to sell my my gold nugget for the three thousand. All right. He takes your gold and is says like, OK, go, there's a in them streets. He takes your gold and picks up his prospector pickaxe and hands you three thousand. Perfect. So I got my two red yummies for three. huh Pretty much. Yeah. All right. I got it. I'm going to buy seven. Sell my gold nugget. You're buying seven. Orange, orange gummies. yeah e Okay. What the heck? All right. I got a plan. I got a plan. Okay. gowa see Hold on. No, wait. No, nevermind. I think I did my, I did my math wrong. No, nevermind. Okay. All right. I'm just to buy one.
01:02:09
Speaker
seven No one out I was trying to get where I could get I thought I had Blah No, you you only gave me two. Yeah, I thought I had four already Orange Gimmie's eight, but not only had three Because I was gonna get one for 80 and then go back down for that party card bodyguard one Okay, so i will protect so how many are you buying? I'm just gonna get Five get five Alright, the hands of the five orange gummies is like, alright, that'll be uh, uh, 7,500. Yep. That'll be 7,500. Alright, so you wanna to know my plan? I got XP Elite and XP Go-Gitter. Okay, so what is that?
01:02:57
Speaker
XP, go get it. You get five plus 5 XP for each Pokemon after normal XP calculations. And XP Elite, you you earned 1.5 XP experience after battle after normal calculations. Oh, wow. Okay. So, I see. Okay, interesting. I'm kind of surprised you didn't go for Coin Watcher. Real cute success. Poke earned Poke is one point times higher. Oh, don't worry. I don't trust my luck. I'm going for coin watcher and yeah level so i can get decent moves I will point this out coin watcher applies to anything that gets you poke if you pick it up off the ground if you complete a mission anything that gets you okay yeah level that waterric that's 20 cost 20 yeah I'm taking coin watcher
01:03:50
Speaker
And I'm going to say this right now, the effect does stack if multiple people have it. Oh wait, so it's for everyone? Or is it just for us, the person who has it? No, it's for everyone. Oh shoot, ok, that's awesome. Fine, I'll buy two more! I told you, I made IQ skills actually good. So, these are things you actually want to actively work your way towards. Yeah. Instead of just being something in the background. Wait, IQ skills affect your whole system or just you? um well no coin watcher will affect just any money game period so if you complete a mission one person can roll coin watcher and potentially earn the entire team 1.5 times poke okay and multiple people can do that and keep stacking it higher okay i mean okay that's based i'm gonna buy another red yummy then so and also take uh brick tough
01:04:44
Speaker
add 10 HP because I have not much HP. Okay. All right. I also bought those two more for that coin toss one. All money is just going out the window. Yes. I'm spending all money. This is actually good to buy, this stuff. I've only actually spent 500 bokeh at this whole shopping trip. yeah Yeah, am I gonna be able to afford pizzeria? How much was the um gummies again? 1500 a piece, any color. What is the normal? Normal is white. zero want White gummy is normal. White, okay. Yeah, if it's clear as flying. Clear as ice. No, clear as ice. Oh, it's ice. Oh, okay. Gotcha. All right, zero IQ. All right, well, I but i got two extra one and one for money. yeah
01:05:36
Speaker
If we're all buying gummies, I guess I might as well get some as well. Can I get two of whatever your normal gummy is? Sure, here's two normal gummies, and he hands you two gray gummies. I don't know if that's actually the correct way. No, they're white. It's white. Shopping gets us out. Gray is rock. Really? Okay, gotcha.

Speaker
I realized that gap prober plus surf would be pretty. Oh, would be pretty good. We heard it gets there. What is gap? There it is. You can throw items and do moves through allies without damage. Ooh, that would be good. Where is that? In the 20. So it's in the 20. Oh, yeah. Hey. Wish you knew that before we gave Surf back. Could I? If I, if I had gap prober, could I use Surf and not affect my allies? Yeah, that's exactly what I was supposed to use. We already gave Surf back. We did. We also gained five hundred bokeh for it, so. I wouldn't mind buying it back. Yeah, that's five hundred. It's the only thing I have left. Did any of you guys have enough money for that? I only have five hundred sixty-three. You have five hundred sixty-three. And it was eight thousand before. I have three. I have four K.

Does not apply to Jira Pebbles and Grev Lux. Ooh, that's great because of fling. that Where is that at? Like, how much is that worth? 20. 20. So you are absolutely going for the fling synergy.

Guys, I'm really gonna date myself on this, but the bootleg TMs sound like these weird oval CD-ROMs that I had as a kid of Pokémon I put it in the teacher's lounge.

Speaker
fit foot What am I gonna do with 50 burgers? what Why do you have 50 burgers on you? You can yeah put them on sal you can always resell them. um we could You could you could um start up a restaurant and sell them. So my understanding is you went to some sale, bought 50 burgers and now you're just walking around them with them in your backpack. And you can sell them at a restaurant or to 50 customers and that's it, you're out of business. This is the rail limited edition boca burger. It was there's only four in the entire world and this is the only one in the West Coast There's only four boca burgers in this entire world this rare edition Then why did she say she had 50 of them? Well, those are ripoff ones they made from China as well Oh, I think it's I'm not interested in buying these at all. You should make them roll deception one How about All right, how about a a bootleg gold nugget
01:13:00
Speaker
What? ah love it Let me see your bootleg gold nugget. It's a boot made of gold. Hey, Karu should have a but have a gold nugget. He's holding out his hand.

Yeah, the three of us got gold nuggets from that one ah mission we did. OK. Is it actually a bootleg gold nugget? Are you trying to pass it off as one? No, I was just pulling his leg. Oh, okay. i like Did you not already sell your growth nugget? I never did. I don't think so. I think the other two did, but uh... I mean, we we did today in this in this shopping trip, yes.
01:13:47
Speaker
He's like, hmm, this seems to me like it's a girl. He picks up the pickaxe. I destroyed girl little ones again. And he's like, take 3,000 poke for these. And he had to get 3,000 poke. Yay, 3,000. OK, now I can buy. Hold on, hold up. Wait, now you can just buy the regular surf because you're only like a thousand away from it, right? no that's right um well yeah but i don't mind uh i want to but i want to take a chance on this on the slurf do you really trust this slurf tm to teach you a real move wait hikaru before you do anything isn't your mom a surfer couldn't she just teach you
01:14:31
Speaker
No, you got a point. um let's ah Let's go to my mom's house after pizza and I'll ask her. We talked her out of buying slurf. Good. All right. Let's go to the pizzeria. let's go so i line about this time minutes it like this one drama name we're just both You can see Selena, Abyss, and Brie are sitting very patiently waiting for you and she's like, there you guys are. What took you guys so long? Selena, that was like the most fun I've ever had shopping. like We that was like we did almost bought a bootleg TM. He almost said that. Yeah, he almost... Well, he needs a vacuum.
01:15:15
Speaker
the
01:15:18
Speaker
The boys though, we, we, get we, we all have to stop for a second. These guys stopped me before I could take a chance on so-called slurf. What about you? believe like ducky for What slurf? It's like surf, but a rip off. Walter, could you get your hand off my stomach, please? It's stuck. It's clogged. Please. I don't know how, but it's clogged. It's like TM Surf, but it's it's got a typo on it. ah what we don't want We don't want them to see what's under my throat. Get your hand off of me. I don't want to know what's under there anyway. I need Sammy to roll stealth for that. Wait, what? Why why sam why is doing this anyways? Because Sammy said out loud, I don't want them to see what is underneath my fur. So I need Sammy to roll stealth against c Selena's investigation perception. yeah actually here's it I'm just going to say it's a horrible birthmark. What is stealth? Let me see. What?
01:16:18
Speaker
Just say it's a horrible birthmark if they want to know what it is. The stealth would be cool. Yeah, yeah. Either deception or stealth. No, I didn't see that. Okay. ah Neither because I rolled a two. So even if I added plus two, it wouldn't help. no She rolled a three. I rolled a four, technically, if I use QO. Yeah, you rolled a four total. Oh my gosh. Yo. That's amazing. So, Simon did not notice, and things go on as if it didn't happen.
01:16:50
Speaker
it's just my vacuum noise okay anything but the oh yeah waltzer bought vacuum wave for some reason does it actually sound like a vacuum whenever you use vacuum wave it's what it's fun we might just punch it's like it's like hit from dragball posely it's the way you just punch it and like uh it's like a force of air gets pushed out that's what that's how it is in the anime at least so Selena's um is like guys I know you guys are like excited and all but then we have a piece of place to go to yeah I mean we're hungry and yeah the boys we just got a lot of money back from the stuff we just did we actually basically didn't spend any money honestly yeah so I need to go into the solo chip to um the hockey Hawks I need to get some money back I need to do the solo adventure

Are you sure you guys aren't like thieves or whatever? I will tell you, Papala, that we did not actually drink any alcohol while we were in the speakeasy. I somehow doubt that.
01:23:05
Speaker
no I mean, it's true. we We weren't even really tempted. Unfortunately, Hikaru wanted to buy berries from them, that's all. Yep. ah That they would not sell Hikaru berries because the berries are apparently only for the drinks, he says in quotes. Look, look, look, look. We haven't showered in a few days. Look at my hands.
