Introduction and Banter
00:00:11
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to A Path Through Time. My name is Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM, and sitting to my left is somebody who has been drinking way too much.
00:00:25
Speaker
It's me, Evelyn. Let's go, team. I mean, don't know.
00:00:38
Speaker
Uh, and sitting to my left is somebody who was up until six in the morning celebrating the next win with me. Well, in the same, and within within a 1500 mile radius of me.
00:00:59
Speaker
Yeah,
Comedic Segment on Internet Issues
00:01:00
Speaker
sure. Totally. That's me, Eli. All right. Yep. 100%. Don't listen to him, he's a Spurs man. the the The distance is accurate.
00:01:14
Speaker
That's all I'm gonna say. We were within the same state, which is why we were together. Between 1 and 1 billion miles. Yes. but Between 1 and 1,500 miles is indeed accurate.
00:01:28
Speaker
It's grosso for exaggeration, but still accurate. I think you guys are actually further than 1500 miles from me. Maybe. Yes.
00:01:40
Speaker
Yeah, but that's why she wasn't talking about you. She was talking about me. Man, I just wanted to feel included. No, yeah you stay out of it. You don't get me included. Alright, fine. I'll go play all my favorite NPCs.
00:01:55
Speaker
And sitting not quite directly across from me is someone...
00:02:04
Speaker
Whose internet just conked out?
00:02:13
Speaker
Oh wait, it looks like it's back now. Uh.
00:02:18
Speaker
Uh.
00:02:21
Speaker
Uh. This is the dumbest bit you guys have done so far. Do you guys actually want me to leave like a 10 second pause the episode?
Episode Recap and Math Humor
00:02:31
Speaker
Oh yeah, totally. 100. Oh, my internet back. Hey guys.
00:02:37
Speaker
i think Eli just has a switch to Jake's internet. Hey, no, nobody's supposed to know about that. It's Eli Internet Incorporated. Jake's the only subscriber.
00:02:49
Speaker
It kills his internet too.
00:02:55
Speaker
Cause he can only subscribe to his own internet service, see.
00:03:01
Speaker
Hey wait, if you own Jake's internet provider, then doesn't that mean you have access to his search history? Oh shit. don't need to talk about that. that's true Alright.
00:03:13
Speaker
Oh no! Oh, i was good I was gonna say, uh, we should do both recap, but I actually, uh, did some math the other day, and, it turns out uh, probability of me doing a recap is actually just about 60%. That then sounds about right for what we've had happen so far. Yeah, because it's 70, it's cubed, think is what is.
00:03:41
Speaker
cuba it think is what it is isn' That it thats not sounds wrong. What Everyone... every yeah that hold up one right so the probability that your number the probability that you have the same role as at least one of three other roles Okay, yeah, so the probability of me not being the one ah is 0.421% chance.
00:04:17
Speaker
So the probability, the reciprocal to that is the probability of me getting, having to the recap is 58%.
00:04:28
Speaker
8%. Yeah, 58%. Yeah, approximately. No, I think I see our viewer count drop every time we start doing math. I just see the viewer comment going, eeeh. Oh yeah, we did a lot of math in the last few episodes. The last mainline episode we did, we did so much math. And then in the D&D episode, we did a lot of math.
00:04:47
Speaker
Or no, that's what was saying. Oh, this is the D&D episode. Because I made you guys do math, and then the math went all wrong. Yep, and then you had all the wrong answers. Who was we?
00:04:58
Speaker
Walter did no math.
00:05:02
Speaker
Alright, go ahead and pull out your dice and we shall roll for recap. Walter just played God a little bit with a mayor.
00:05:15
Speaker
I got a three. Three. Two. Yes, okay, yes, I got it too. Jake, you have to do the recap. Finally, I got out of it.
00:05:26
Speaker
Shit. I'm so prepared. I wasn't banking on him having to do it again. all Alright, last episode.
00:05:38
Speaker
Last episode, we went to this, I don't remember the name of the city. um giant solution New Shimmer City.
00:05:48
Speaker
Something Shimmer Shimmer. that new shimmer city um where we've um where we had a bunch of things going on um bruce went to go get the glasses fixed by a um in a glass working shop that had a crocodile work it that was strung
Plot Discussion: New Shimmer City
00:06:11
Speaker
up somehow Oh, can I interject here, actually?
00:06:15
Speaker
ah So I actually listened back to this episode, and I realized well i there was no reason for me to put him on the ceiling. The reason I initially did that to was to make it inaccessible to Eli, or to Bruce, oh so you couldn't cut up the at the... ah wires, but then I just made the wires indestructible anyway, so there was literally no reason for him to be on the ceiling, which I think is absolutely hilarious. There was also no explanation for why he was on the ceiling.
00:06:48
Speaker
Listen, was perfect. It was needed. That was so funny. There was no reason for him to be on the ceiling. it didn't give an explanation as to how he got on the ceiling. He just was on the ceiling, and it was awesome, so.
00:07:02
Speaker
Listen. Anyway. We don't ask. we It just happens. Anyway, continue. Yes, thank you. Anyway, we... um you threw me off now way to go you threw me off um well there were three parts to that episode yeah yeah you're moving three episodes in one and then me and eblin went to go see walter hikaru went to go see um the mayor that is a well got changed halfway instead of being a or the harayama
00:07:38
Speaker
a hariyama yeah fake hariyama it was it was going to be a real one until um they decided to change it to a why not so why not in a hariyama costume some wizard of awe stuff happening don't pay attention to the little pokemon inside
00:07:57
Speaker
then we made a deal with him if we could get information about the city we're trying to look for if i could walter could turn him into a bigger pokemon First try did not work out so well.
00:08:10
Speaker
um and He turned into pseudo-Woodo. arms flying And then yeah Second try... he turned into Lucario y Which brought in Mega Evolutions into this system now.
00:08:23
Speaker
Mega Z. Mega Z. I
Bruce's Delivery and Time Zone Realization
00:08:26
Speaker
don't like that form at all.
00:08:30
Speaker
It's alright at best. um And then that where we ended off?
00:08:41
Speaker
Sort of he get he told you that There was a certain captain who would be willing to take you to the the ah marked island that was labeled as New Shiver. Shivertry City. Did we meet the captain yet, or did we just get told about him? No.
00:08:59
Speaker
You guys are starting the episode where you guys are going to be exiting the mayor's office and going to the dock. So... That's where we're going starting the episode, but you did miss something quite huge in the episode. Something that took up half the entire episode.
00:09:17
Speaker
Did he miss what Bruce did? think he missed what Bruce... Yeah, he missed what Bruce did. He missed what he himself and Evelyn did. oh skipped about 75% of the entire episode. episode I'm sorry, let's still go back at, um... When's the last time Jacob had to do a recap?
00:09:40
Speaker
Alone. Uh... Oh my god, yeah, have you even done a recap? A small arc yet? I don't... Not this arc, not last arc. I never did it alone, last arc. I never did it alone. I had do it.
00:09:55
Speaker
Not alone. Not alone. Usually I just pop in bits in here and there and never do a full one. Hey, no way. But the, uh, so, um, yeah, uh, Eli, do you want to take the part about the, uh, Crooked Isle's Crooked Glasses?
00:10:12
Speaker
Sure, so yeah, Bruce went to, Crooked Isle's Crooked Glass shop, uh, to get a new pair of glasses for Blair, and found the, the, the owner of the shop, Crooked Isle,
00:10:29
Speaker
a tied up in a bunch of like high-grade wiring that he couldn't slash his way through a cauldron of molten glass almost bubbling over it so he was they did a bunch of skill checks to uh
00:10:55
Speaker
do a combination of making the glasses himself and stopping this glass from exploding. And then he went and,
00:11:10
Speaker
went to meet up with the mayor expecting to find the conversation already halfway through only to see Hikaru and Walter a little ways down the street not at the mayor's office yet yep and Evelyn do you want to take over as to why you guys were not at the mayor's office yet
00:11:38
Speaker
It was because we were at that we were at that bag shop um bartering the rights to a song for bag updates. Oh my you're right!
00:11:51
Speaker
was wondering how the hell you didn't remember that. Listen, I forgot to do the whole recording bit. I forgot to to record my bit of the song. I know, you guys never give me a song and I'm so sad.
00:12:05
Speaker
so I never got around to it. I'm busy. That's fine. I'm not. I'm not. sorry i goodnna watch I was just not going to myself.
00:12:18
Speaker
So, yeah. ah So, basically, that's it. You guys did a bunch of... ah a bunch of bag shenanigans. You guys made a song. And, uh, so that was actually really nice. i loved that. What you guys did there. So, hot beautiful yeah so Hikaru and Walter got free bag upgrades and Bruce got a free pair of glasses.
00:12:48
Speaker
Well, you say free, you have had to do the work, so. Yeah, you paid me on labor.
00:12:58
Speaker
Is that it?
00:13:01
Speaker
yeah ah Eli has the glasses that he needs to give to Blair so a Blair can research more on new shivers tree or Shiver City.
00:13:12
Speaker
Yeah, that's...
00:13:17
Speaker
Oh, yes. Sorry, I just remembered something, a crucial part of this episode and running today that I forgot about until now, so glad I remembered that. But I believe that is it, so are you guys ready to go on in?
00:13:33
Speaker
just noticed here that I forgot to put the glasses in my bag, but while I was checking my bag, I noticed I have a cultist's note in my bag.
00:13:47
Speaker
And I'm not entirely sure what that is. Why do you have a cultist note? I think that's from the cult of the, um you know, the god we're facing, basically, the demidod. It might be from the cult's town. Oh! well Or the Halloween episode.
00:14:03
Speaker
That was the note that was dropped by um Chai the Leafeon when she took a cyanide pill.
Hotel Rest and Time Passage
00:14:11
Speaker
Right. Oh my god, I yeah forgot that happened. That's what it was. Okay, yes.
00:14:16
Speaker
Got it. Okay. forgot Dakota's dog did that. Okay, I was gonna say, I don't think we did anything with anything like actual cult related except for that Halloween episode we did like two years Yeah, because like I wouldn't have put an item in my bag and kept it there if it was from the Halloween episode. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Yeah, we've gone through multiple changes since then. I doubt you'd keep that.
00:14:42
Speaker
I do still have... Oh, right. I do still have Bob's watch and wallet. Oh my god, I completely forgot about that. God, I should make him inquire about that at some point. that'd be hilarious.
00:14:59
Speaker
Yeah, uh... I don't know. Maybe if he, uh, like... actually like proves to be somewhat loyal to this team here.
00:15:10
Speaker
Bruce will voluntarily give those back. Maybe. We'll see. He gets it back when he's been a when he earns it. We hold it hostage. This is this is your pay for this week.
00:15:27
Speaker
It's his credit card. These were already mine. It's like, hey, I was wondering where that's been.
00:15:36
Speaker
You got a random move for us, Jake? Head Charge. Head Charge? Is that actually a move? Yeah, that's ah that was Kranidos and Rampardos's... No, no, no, no, that's Head Smash. Head Charge is Bouffalant's signature move.
00:15:55
Speaker
Ah, okay. i thought i thought it'd be topical I thought it'd be topical. Yeah, why not?
00:16:02
Speaker
Alright, let us Head Charge on in.
00:16:08
Speaker
all Alright, so I'm gonna give you guys an opportunity to do do some things if you need to before we ah before you guys head to the dock. So you guys are exiting the Town Hall right now, and if there's anything you need to take care of immediately, you should probably do so now.
00:16:29
Speaker
Yeah, I'm gonna pull out my GBA and give Blair a call. all Alright, so, after a couple minutes, uh... A couple minutes? You're just not ringing that wall i just come off sight that long. After a couple seconds.
00:16:48
Speaker
Your DBA rings for 15 minutes. No, no, okay. pick off Hi, who is this? Shoot, um... Real quick, but um, i was I bought two of those orbs and used one of them on the mayor, right?
00:17:03
Speaker
Yes. yeah What was it called again? Orb of a Transform Orb. No, Transfer Orb. Transfer Orb? Okay. Transfer, not transform.
00:17:15
Speaker
okay. Transfer and orb. Transform would make more sense, but, yeah, okay. I think it's transform.
Morning Preparations and Directions
00:17:23
Speaker
I'm pretty sure on the system it is items list fucking trans let's see oh I need to hit control I just
00:17:40
Speaker
transfer orb it is Eli was correct it's the transfer orb transfer so yeah Yeah, transfer orb.
00:17:55
Speaker
Foe transforms into a different orb. Pretty much how you would expect to spell it.
00:18:08
Speaker
then it's not popping up, so I'm probably spelling wrong. Oh well. Oh my gosh. We know what it does. We know what does. All right, hold on. Do you have a space between the words and truth words capitalized?
00:18:21
Speaker
Trans-fer-orb. Fuck, I misspelled it.
00:18:27
Speaker
That may be it. There you go, transfer-orb.
00:18:35
Speaker
And if it doesn't work then that's unfortunate because it's definitely supposed transfer. No, I think it's a fact I didn't capitalize. No, it definitely works. And I didn't capitalize either. Whatever.
00:18:48
Speaker
Anyway, you delay ah Eli, after after a couple seconds, um you hear someone pick up the phone and it's it's Blair.
00:18:58
Speaker
ah Hey Bruce, what's up? ah So I got your glasses made. They're not the greatest looking, but so they'll do the job.
00:19:11
Speaker
a I was... I'm hoping that I'll be able to just badge warp them over to base. So if you don't mind, like, just stepping outside and being ready to catch them...
00:19:27
Speaker
Uh, I mean, can't you just deliver them yourself? You know, badge will transfer you back, right? Oh. I guess I could do that, but that sounds like less fun.
00:19:41
Speaker
I guess I can... Alright, I'll be down in the dungeon... or dot dungeon the Doesn't it warp us to like outside our front stoop?
00:19:53
Speaker
or It warps you into the base. So like the ah underground with the big screen. ah fashion okay yeah I guess I can just warp myself and I'll meet you there. Alright, I'll be down in a second.
00:20:09
Speaker
Also, i said you know what time it is, right? Uh, it's like can now like... what, like... almost night time?
00:20:24
Speaker
Bruce, it's 2.30 a.m. Wait, what? I spent longer making these glasses than I thought I did, apparently. Bruce learns about time zones.
00:20:37
Speaker
Okay, we had this discussion at the beginning of last episode, but you you guys got to New Shimmer City when it was dark out because the city is shimmering. And then you guys did stuff for like an hour or so. It's like 2.30 at night.
00:20:53
Speaker
Oh my goodness. Wait, the whole city is just shimmering like you can't even see the night sky? like Is it basically just um it's the Pokemon Tower of Kanto that never falls asleep until Jigglypuff does it?
00:21:08
Speaker
Uh... Oh, you're talking about from anime? Yeah. More like New York City. Yeah, I was thinking it's like New York City. There's Neon Bates everywhere. or like Vegas or something. i like I like the Vegas more. like Vegas more. It's
Chaos at the Docks
00:21:25
Speaker
Vegas. It's clearly Vegas. It is not Vegas.
00:21:29
Speaker
It's Vegas, but take out all of the casinos. yeah it's vegas uh sure it's just it's like volkenberg if i had a lot more lights it's called new shimmer city for a reason yeah oh so blair's like i'll be downstairs just give me a minute i gotta be quiet just give me a second i feel like sorry i forgot how late it was forget how blind is she without her glasses
00:22:01
Speaker
It'd be funny if the phone was on and we'd just hear a crash. Crash. I feel like it's more of just like... It's not Velma levels, but she can't read like anything when she doesn't have her glasses.
00:22:18
Speaker
Okay.
00:22:21
Speaker
So you're going to teleport down to the... I'm going to turn to Walter and Ikaru and say... Hey, I'm going to be gone real quick. I'm going to deliver these glasses to Blair and then pop right back.
00:22:39
Speaker
Sound good? All right. ah Hope you... i Are you sure it's going to work? We've done it before, but that's what we did going to with the the the whole the house shenanigan where we left the bad guys and brought back reinforcements.
00:22:58
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah I remember now. Well, you know i hope you come back in one piece. Thanks. those I wish it was like 1158 and then I'd cheese my aura sense.
00:23:15
Speaker
Oh, we already discussed that your aura sense doesn't they have any limits anymore. Alright. Alright.
00:23:27
Speaker
Um, yeah. So yeah. what The docks are open right now?
00:23:35
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that, but we'll deal with that when I get back. Well, if you remember last episode, I ah think you just mentioned something like, I can't believe you guys are open this late. And the crocodile said something about, like, yeah, we actually get a decent amount of business or not enough business. to let this out I don't remember.
00:23:54
Speaker
But you guys did mention it last time. don't remember what the result of that was. Is it like The Simpsons where you can't even tell it's dark?
00:24:04
Speaker
I don't watch the Simpsons. Basically a bunch of lights got put and it constantly looks like it's like evening. It constantly looks like it's like a morning. You can definitely tell it's nighttime outside. It's just very well lit.
00:24:17
Speaker
Because once again, you guys are a new Shimmer City. Capital of the Lux region. I love this town. yes sir Yeah, it is in the Lux region. Lux state, not region. Sorry. yeah Hey, Kara, you know what really pulled this town together? Their own terrorist avenue.
00:24:40
Speaker
Terrorist avenue? Hey, you guys haven't explored all of the city yet. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, jeez. the octa arctic just moved here he moved into the suburbs and she's all right so bruce you wink into the base you wink out of existence and you wink into the base and uh it is dark there's no lights on or anything um but Okay, go on, sir. Well, so there's the dot that's always on the computer screen giving little light. Uh, yes. There's a blinking dot. So can find the light switch.
00:25:19
Speaker
Plus his flames. Okay, so as you as you reach for the light switch, you see a little bit of light open up where the staircase of the surface is, and you just hear a bunch of crashing and tumbling as it's clear that Blair has fallen down the stairs.
00:25:38
Speaker
Well, I flip on the lights... And Blair is on the ground at the foot of the stairs. ah shit! Uh, Bruce, is that you? Yeah. I got your glasses here. Hopefully that can, uh, not happen anymore.
00:25:56
Speaker
Okay, so see she gets up, takes the, uh, glasses, uh... So she takes the glasses from you guys and ah she's like, oh, so much better.
00:26:10
Speaker
I can actually see what I'm doing now. gez Believe it or not, that's not the first time I've fallen down those stairs. Stairs are way too steep.
00:26:22
Speaker
Yeah, I can believe it, sadly. Is there a specific reason you need to call at this hour?
Battle with Possessed Spearow
00:26:31
Speaker
Like, come on, it's...
00:26:33
Speaker
I was sleeping, and so was everyone else. Uh, sorry. We were at on the tail of a new lead, and I had your glasses done and just wanted to get them to you as soon as possible.
00:26:49
Speaker
All right, well, I'm going to get started on that book tomorrow. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting. Alright, thank you. You just wanted me to look at New Shivertree City. Anything else?
00:27:00
Speaker
to Just Shivertree City, not New Shivertree City. Whatever it's called, yeah. Yeah, I mean, anything else interesting that you could find would be helpful.
00:27:14
Speaker
all Alright. I will keep my eye on it. Especially any knowledge of like fusing with the orbs, because that seems to be a problem now.
00:27:26
Speaker
I don't think any of the books I have deal with the orbs, because I'm pretty sure the only mention is in that book you guys got there, The All Games Guide to the Galaxy. Oh, okay. Because I'm doing my research based off the books in my library.
00:27:39
Speaker
ah okay. Then, yeah. don't know. Alright, I'll be heading to Valkenburg. I'll be heading to Valkenburg in the morning.
00:27:50
Speaker
Okay. Okay, I will see you guys then. And she turns it around it and leaves. Night. Night.
00:28:02
Speaker
rule Roll for waking people up.
00:28:07
Speaker
We're underground. She tumbles up the stairs. That would be sad. you can see now. What is she, Biden?
00:28:18
Speaker
No, she doesn't. Okay, we're not getting political here. Alright, so, uh, is there anything else you want to do? So Bruce is going to turn turn the lights back off and, uh, pop back over where the others are. Okay. Okay.
00:28:35
Speaker
So yeah, you get you meet up with the Gru. You were only really gone for like a minute at most. So I don't think anything really happened while i were gone. um So now that you guys are all together, it is, like I said, it is 2.30 at night.
00:28:50
Speaker
You guys can continue if you want, but I will also give you guys the options to just say, oh, look, a hotel, and suddenly it's daytime. So without any preamble. So you guys can quick rest. I made a constitution roll earlier and got a 12.
00:29:07
Speaker
well So... That's above. That's a big success. are you was starting to get yes She like starts to realize how tired she is.
00:29:18
Speaker
Yeah, so there's a couple hotels nearby. I'm not going to have you guys go through the rigmarole of replaying a whole sleeping thing. I would like to get something on this episode.
00:29:29
Speaker
FutureDakota here. Hey, ah so they did decide to go ahead and roleplay checking into a hotel, falling asleep, and then waking up again. Accomplishing absolutely nothing. So, I have taken it upon myself to fast forward through this since literally nothing happened. So here we go.
00:29:50
Speaker
ah so that's what happened with Vince.
00:29:57
Speaker
Oh, world domination. Okay. Uh-huh. Alright, and we're just about done. Alright. So, now that you guys have accomplished absolutely nothing, the day passes. Night passes. That'd be fucking hilarious.
00:30:21
Speaker
You see the sign says progress saved on the top of the screen? Yeah, progress saved. all right so all right so it is now daytime just i just want to point out the whole reason i had that encounter is because you said you wanted to talk to the front desk guy but you know what doesn't matter so it is daytime now and ah what time would you guys wake up like a good like eight o'clock Still early in morning, or what time do you guys want to start heading out? kick well I think Hikaru's getting up at like... 9.30.
00:30:59
Speaker
Walter is the last to get If we were going to sleep at like 2.30 to 3 o'clock, probably like 9.30, 10 o'clock. Alright, so a good like mid-morning.
00:31:13
Speaker
Yeah. Walter will not get up at until they're leaving. The streets are bustling. There are many people outside. Even more than there were last night.
00:31:25
Speaker
So, um... Granada! Where are the docks? I don't remember if... Yeah, the mayor gave you directions to the docks, right? yes Yes. Yes, we got directions to the docks.
00:31:37
Speaker
Okay. To be fair, just go to the ocean. Oh yeah, I guess I'll probably see the ocean through it. Just find the part of this town that has he the that has the water and just walk around I have a question. New Shuba City, is that on the south or the north coast?
00:32:00
Speaker
North. It's like the northwestern It's one of the most northern places.
00:32:10
Speaker
to that. yeah It is. It's in like a little... And you say... in a little bay And you said you were prepared for this. Oh... Interesting.
00:32:22
Speaker
Okay, this is gonna be fun. Alright, you guys are on the north coast. Eh, it's more like a northwest coast, but who's counting? Okay. Yeah, okay. So, you guys eventually make it your way to the docks on the north side of town.
00:32:37
Speaker
I have a feeling I might as well say south like last episode, but it's on the north side of town. um So you guys make your way to the ah port on the north side of town, and there seems to be a bit of a commotion going on.
00:32:51
Speaker
You see people running around frantically, and specifically, Walter, I want you to roll a perception check. Oh god. All right. Where's my dice? I gotta find a new dice. Roll with advantage.
00:33:05
Speaker
Roll with advantage. This is an ore of related check. Ooh, yay. Okay. Okay, and perception you said? Yes. you recognize some sort of aura in the air.
00:33:25
Speaker
It is the aura of one of those distortions, like a rift distortion. Oh no. And you see a Spydops running past you, and he's like, Everyone evacuate! The Wibblewobbles are back!
00:33:40
Speaker
And he runs past you down the street. What is this, a Power Ranger villain? that's The Wibblewobbles? The Wibblewobbles are back? as in, they've been here before?
00:33:54
Speaker
i mean, the spider option's gone. He did not stay to chat. ah Walter's getting flashbacks of the train moment. Yeah, Bruce is getting flashbacks of the field.
00:34:10
Speaker
Uh, guys! Back Art 1. It's, um, I'm getting the same feeling from the train. ah a similar one. I think another portal's here.
00:34:22
Speaker
no, boys. so I'm guessing Wibblewobbles is probably referring to the waviness of reality around it. What concerns me is that they they implied that it's been here before.
00:34:42
Speaker
Walter sighs, goes,
Exploration and Strategy on the Ship
00:34:43
Speaker
we're probably gonna be the ones that have to fix it.
00:34:48
Speaker
I mean, we are kind of the ones investigating it. And nobody else knows what it is. Let's go. as as you guys head down the docks, there arent people are people starting to flee the docks. It seems like this is something that may have just started.
00:35:08
Speaker
The only one left on the docks after a little bit, other than some curious bystanders, is a very shadowy looking ship that has a bunch of like, it's like distorted and wobbly in the air. Like, kind of like how you would see like heat waves or yeah ah how like heat off of the hood of a car distorts um the air around it.
00:35:30
Speaker
Please tell me there's a some there's a um old naval guy that's going yelling it's a flying Dutchman. Yeah. It's a flying Dutchman. Sure, sure. There's a manky sitting on the docks and he's got a tinfoil hat on. He's like, it's a flying Dutchman. Everybody root for your lives.
00:35:52
Speaker
i just woke my cat up. Hey, buddy. So... like the flying catch wonder if he's a I wonder if he's related to Manky D. Floofy.
00:36:03
Speaker
Oh my god. I can't... oh Oh, I know. His name is... maybe... hit i mean, we'll find out later. So is the whole ship like this or just figures on the ship?
00:36:14
Speaker
The entire ship is like... If you've ever seen like Mario Sunshine, how it's covered in... how like the ah first Piranha Plant is covered in paint, it's kind of like that, except it's all black. Like black and purple. like The ship seems to be made of flesh.
00:36:33
Speaker
And standing on the deck of the ship is a Spearow, who is also covered in this like black flesh. And he's just standing there looking over the dock.
00:36:48
Speaker
And he is also like very wibbly-wobbly.
00:36:55
Speaker
Now I need, jake to you I need you to roll Perception with Disadvantage. Come on, I just 20!
00:37:07
Speaker
Nice.
00:37:11
Speaker
Nat 1! Nooooo! Oh, you got a Nat 20 and a Nat 1? Oh, okay. Okay, well, you don't notice anything. Um, so... Hold on, I have a reason why. Walter's coming up with a cool catchphrase that I've been thinking since this whole thing started. Okay. All right, what do you got?
00:37:32
Speaker
you'll You'll see, you'll see. alright, we'll come back to that. Um, so, this is clearly one of those distortion mobs that, uh, have been popping up ever since the orbs have been, have been causing them balance. So, in the universe of whatever the fuck I said, like, two arcs ago. So, uh,
00:37:54
Speaker
I don't know. It's something. So this is somewhat familiar to you guys, x except for like the fleshy exterior of the ship and the spear row.
00:38:06
Speaker
Something is clearly very wrong.
00:38:14
Speaker
Yeah, I don't like that it was like a dark purple black thing going on around. When you say fleshy, it makes me think of Bill Cipher Couch from Gravity Falls.
00:38:27
Speaker
Bill Cipher's couch? didn't watch Gravity Falls. Huh. That's a strange ship. Hikaru says as her like mouth gapes wide open. So we should we should destroy it, right?
00:38:47
Speaker
I think we need to find the source. Before to the shadow. Well, for the last time, the shadow, we had to defeat the Pokemon that came out of it. So I'm guessing we got to beat the Spearow for it to stop.
00:39:01
Speaker
Wasn't the captain we were looking for Spearow?
00:39:09
Speaker
Yeah. Are you asking me? think we should more. Oh. No, that was in character. Oh my, yes, because it's a stupid Sparrow, Jack Sparrow joke. Yeah. but We're looking for a Jack Sparrow.
00:39:25
Speaker
aye I feel like this might just be a guy who got caught up in something. Walter walter a scream, excuse me, your name Jack? It is I. i am Captain Jack Sparrow.
00:39:41
Speaker
Huh. You can actually talk. The last one couldn't. Yeah, it didn't. Do you have any idea what's going on? what do you mean the last one couldn't talk? I thought all Pokemon could talk.
00:39:58
Speaker
Well, not the Umbreon shadow. Wait, was he... Hikaru was there for that, right? I think all of you guys were there for that. Yeah, the train Pokemon never talked. Yeah, the shadow Umbreon on the train never talked. Yeah, the shadow Umbreon, yep.
00:40:14
Speaker
Oh, you're right. It maybe could, but it never talked during the combat. I forgot that that was an Umbreon. I thought that was just a shadow. No, it was an Umbreon. It was an Umbreon made of shadows.
00:40:27
Speaker
Question, why is all these Pokemon that we may have to face like a like Walter's like counter? A flying type and then a psychic type. Or dark type and no psychic type moves. Oh yeah, it did have psychic type moves, didn't it? Yeah.
00:40:45
Speaker
Anyway, um... So, the... The Spearolixing is like, Come fight to me, you yellow-bellied bastards. Hey, who you calling yellow-bellied? Hikaru!
00:40:57
Speaker
He challenged me. Can I fight him
00:41:01
Speaker
Go ahead. Alright. Walker walks up, and you you can see him charging his fist. starts breathing on his fist. You see it gets cold. He's like, call me call me an iceberg, because I'm about to sink you like the Titanic.
00:41:18
Speaker
He's like, furthered bring it, hon. And, uh, is that a guess? Start initiative. So, then I'll roll the speed.
00:41:34
Speaker
I got a 7 for speed. This is going to be so bad to roll. Yeah, let me roll this speed. I got a 9. Hold
00:41:44
Speaker
one second. I forgot. I actually have to keep track of initiative. So let me pull up my... To be fair, i don't think one Pokemon is going to beat all of us. I got a 9, too. Unless you roll really bad. Also, I thought this shift was like much bigger.
00:42:04
Speaker
You have a higher max speed, right Evelyn? Uh, yeah, my speed is 13. Jacob, what did you get? Six. Six, okay.
00:42:16
Speaker
So Evelyn starts, then, or, uh, Ticaru first, then Bruce, then Walter, then yeah Jack. There's a good chance I'll never start before you guys.
00:42:26
Speaker
The Spearow got an eight. So it's, uh, Eli and Evelyn, you can either roll off, or you guys can choose who goes first. I think we'd typically just go whoever has the faster max speed goes first. Yeah, that works too. Who has the faster max speed? It would be Evelyn, right? Yeah.
00:42:47
Speaker
For what it's worth, like ah I thought that this ship was going to be much taller. Like, a huge ship, and Jack Sparrow was at the top of the ship.
00:42:57
Speaker
I guess I didn't really describe the ship. It is ah it has a wind-powered boat. It's not engine-powered. Sailboat. Was anyone else was thinking of Davy Jones' on Caribbean ship?
00:43:13
Speaker
and Anyone else? what okay Okay, well, it's not a sailboat, but it's it's okay it's it's based off the Black Pearl, obviously. It's a large boat, and painted on the side, it says the Taillow Feather.
00:43:26
Speaker
Yeah, just think black pearl. Just pull up an image and as you can see it. Yeah, except it is basically made of flesh now.
00:43:36
Speaker
And it's all a wibbly wobbly. So, ah alright, well, Jake, you're actually going to start because you're you initiated the combat, so we'll have you do an attack and then... Yay!
00:43:48
Speaker
And even if I really don't want to use the ice move, I got to after I just did that um whole talking with the ice punch. But before we start, i want to I want to point out that part of the gimmick of this is instead of taking your turn, you may choose to roll Perception with disadvantage.
00:44:09
Speaker
Oh.
00:44:15
Speaker
Is it just me or all of us? No, anyone. You may sacrifice a turn to rule Perception with this advantage. If it was just me, I would sacrifice it, but since not, no, I'm actually... Walter walter got permission to fight this time. He's happy. He's going to fight. Alright, but you'll still have your bonus action, so... I shouldn't say turn, should say action. I hit 10.
00:44:41
Speaker
Uh, ten. Yes, that'll... So, what's it? Ice fist? What is it? is french Ice fist? Ice fist? I'm sorry, good sir. I do not know what you mean. I what I said as soon as I said ice fist. Wait, did you just say ice piss?
00:45:02
Speaker
No! Ice what? New quote.
00:45:06
Speaker
yeah nice what new quote
00:45:11
Speaker
and i yes that's an awful and the ne Did you actually said ice piss? are physical. my moves. Okay. but i heard
00:45:24
Speaker
um so thirty thirty six thirty six damage especially to physical um physical life all my all my moves are physical all my moves okay Alright, so that's times two minus defense. Or is it minus defense times two? times two.
00:45:44
Speaker
Okay, I was for happy order. stuff You know, thirty six I was just doing the joke for ice for about the ship thing. I forgot the ice super effective. Yeah, it is. was even being tactical. I was just doing the whole bit about the iceberg. Alright, you did 46 damage to this tail though.
00:46:04
Speaker
Hell yeah. you sir BELIEVE IN A SCRATCH! Yeah, it's Spiro, sorry, it's Spiro. Inside! Inside, I wanna know if that actually made it more than a scratch. wanna know if it's BSing me.
00:46:19
Speaker
Sure. Sure. Don't worry, I've got a plan for that. So, Aayla is doing the whole Monty Python thing? Uh, so, 13. Oh, wait, you're talking about with the Frenchman?
00:46:32
Speaker
Yeah. ah Yeah. 13. It did zero damage, basically, to him is what it looks like.
00:46:42
Speaker
Guys, I think we should look at Perception. Wait, what?
00:46:47
Speaker
There's some BS going on where damage gets transferred to something else. Hmm. He's Hawking from One Piece. Like a decoy?
00:47:00
Speaker
Hit the ship! Do you want to try a Thundershock, or do you want to try a Perception check? I will try a Perception check. Okay, go ahead and roll Perception disadvantage.
00:47:13
Speaker
Okay, I get plus two, so.
00:47:17
Speaker
Also, good reason I didn't do is because have a plus zero.
00:47:24
Speaker
Oh yeah, I also have a plus two in perception. Nat one! Oh You're just as- you're thinking of a catchphrase too! No, there ain't nothing there. Nothing to see. Alright, Eli- or wait, you can still take your bonus action if you wish.
00:47:41
Speaker
a bonus action, okay. Yeah, sorry. I should've- yeah, I said your turn initially, I should've said your action, your main action. Quick, try to hit the ship. I have theory that we have the ship.
00:47:54
Speaker
What? Okay. Bonus action can be... what What's the max like? Wait, what what moves can be bonus actions? thing prior is us power Is anything that is power four or less or status moves?
00:48:12
Speaker
Oh, okay. I have charm. Okay. Go. Charm. like be harm Does charm work after a person has already been hit?
00:48:23
Speaker
Or does it only count if you've hit them or not? What? Charm just lowers attack. Charm isn't in attack. I'm thinking of charming person from D&D after the D&D talk.
00:48:34
Speaker
Nice.
00:48:39
Speaker
so mike As a bonus action, that should be foe's attack minus two. Something like that. That missed, though. Oh, you missed. Oh, dang. Unfortunate.
00:48:53
Speaker
Okay. It is Bruce's turn. All right. So I'm actually going to use something that we haven't used in a very long time. I'm going to use an IQ skill.
00:49:06
Speaker
Oh, hey. Hey, we've been using them. I use it i use it to go through the train. but not in battle. I'm going to use the stat checker iq skill where I can roll smart and if I get a full success, I learn two stats and if I get a mixed success, I learn one stat.
00:49:27
Speaker
I just want to point out that's one of the few things in the system that still retains the mixed success, full success system that Nata Scratch uses. I do not use that. I use a full grayscale system.
00:49:38
Speaker
Ah, I think the only the other thing is the coin watcher. Yeah, something like that. Alright, so go ahead and roll.
00:49:53
Speaker
Turn it off. I tried to do something fun, and I get a 5 plus what's the... Alright, well you can try the next turn. It doesn't cost anything, so.
00:50:08
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. Um, well... In that case, do I try the perception check? Because I also have plus two or do I just attack?
00:50:24
Speaker
you like I like... I have an idea, but I don't know if this is considered... i don't It's not metagame, but i don't know if I should talk and and during your turn about what idea i have. yeah Yeah.
00:50:37
Speaker
I think, you know, Bruce is generally the analytical type. He's going to take the time to try to figure out what's going on with this battle.
00:50:48
Speaker
i Can um Walter just pronounce and say that he he um he is hes doesn't think any damage got happened to him?
00:50:59
Speaker
Or do I need to wait for my turn to to reveal this? Ooh! Okay. Well, so my first roll was a dirty 20. My second roll was an 18. Oh! yeah All right. So with an 18, you can
Escalating Battle and Team Strategy
00:51:15
Speaker
see some shadowy tendrils connecting the Spearow that are going towards the ship.
00:51:20
Speaker
Oh my gosh, he's a puppet. Okay. Okay. So, it's what I thought initially, guys. This guy isn't our actual foe.
00:51:32
Speaker
I think he's being controlled. And...
00:51:39
Speaker
Controlled by what? Well, so there's some, like, dark tendril things coming out of the the back of that spear that seem to be connecting him to the ship somehow.
00:51:53
Speaker
Should we try to cut it off him, or should we just go straight for what the tendril main the main body? yeah so I'm going to try to quick attack at one of the tendrils.
00:52:07
Speaker
Okay. Go ahead and... Because that bonus actionable thing. Yep, that's fine. Of course we're facing the Kraken. That's a 12 to hit.
00:52:20
Speaker
Alright, that'll definitely hit.
00:52:24
Speaker
do Do you want me to roll damage or what's happening here? Yeah, I guess that's the flavor of that. So you don't really have to roll damage because as you quick attack, you zoom towards these shadowy tendrils and that is exactly what it is. It is just shadow. There's not any actual substance to it. So while the tendrils do like dissipate out of the way, they just reform as quickly as they were Susie Pastor.
00:52:50
Speaker
It's like a mist, basically. You can't damage a mist. Okay. So real quick before we go after the main body, after the spear was turned of course, I want to bet what kind of octopus Pokemon this is.
00:53:07
Speaker
Or squid. My theory is this this is a shadow squid-like Pokemon that uses its um tentacles as controlling puppets. For some reason I keep thinking Shuppet, but no. That could work actually, but I don't think so.
00:53:25
Speaker
I'm hoping this is just tendrils coming out of the rift itself that have taken control of this Spirou's mind. If we see a Shadow Pokemon, this will confirm that all rifts have Shadow Pokemon.
00:53:42
Speaker
If we see one. Well, not necessarily. Well, not necessarily, but it'll be a good basis to always assume there's one Yeah, I guess.
00:53:54
Speaker
You know what they say, causation is not correlation. Yeah, because like the first rift that we saw dissipated with no shadow Pokemon at all.
00:54:08
Speaker
Yes, and this is me out of player thinking that Dakota didn't have an idea for shadow Pokemon yet. He might be onto more than you think.
00:54:19
Speaker
i don't think he had an idea to have but fights for the portals.
00:54:26
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. Alright. It is now the Spiral's turn. Did Bruce did that really to just show that attacking the ten they showed the others that attacking the Tendrils themselves doesn't seem to do anything?
00:54:42
Speaker
Yeah, it's just misnomer. I'm scared for my idea to attack the ship if that's actually like other Pokemon flesh. That's like there are souls in that. I'm so scared.
00:54:55
Speaker
Okay, um so the Spearow is going to look at Walter and he's gonna go for a thief. Oh, you better not steal from me. what Thief!
00:55:11
Speaker
Thief. He's going to steal my money. So, okay, so he rolled a 15, which will hit. What is your held item? Oh yeah.
00:55:21
Speaker
You bitch. Oh no. Power band. So he's going to take your power band. Can you read me the description for power band?
00:55:33
Speaker
When held, increase stats, and it's plus eight for an attack. Ooh, okay, nice. Wait, it should be based on your base stat.
00:55:49
Speaker
Is it? We've always gone off 8. At least that's what i was told. It says when held, attack increases by base stats. Yeah, so it's by 8 because Viola's stat is 8. Yeah, okay. So his is going to increase by 6. No, it is not. It is 7.
00:56:05
Speaker
Oh, you've been cheating this whole time? You're the one who told me 8. Well, it was 8 and not a scratch. That might be where you heard that from. That might be it.
00:56:18
Speaker
Yeah, Ralph's always was 8. Yeah.
00:56:22
Speaker
So you no longer have a power band. You may remove that change in battle section. Yeah. Oh, and by the way, the damage for that, the damage, this will be before the power band because he did not have the power band for attack you, will be 2d6 plus 8. Where's my d6?
00:56:42
Speaker
Dakota, I don't want to eat.
00:56:48
Speaker
six two 8 plus 8 is 16. 16 physical attack is plus 10, so... What did I just say? 26. 26 damage.
00:57:03
Speaker
Minus defense is divided 2 because it's a dark type move on a fighting type. That is correct. So wait, it 26 minus so be damage.
00:57:15
Speaker
six you just want you just want that power ban you
00:57:21
Speaker
I don't know. Walter's eyes go fiery, so nothing's done. Walter's going to something extreme here. Okay.
00:57:31
Speaker
It is. He's supposed to take his bonus action. Do you ever have anything that is a bonus action applicable? Yes, he does. he is going to look at Walter, and he's going to use Swagger.
00:57:45
Speaker
What does that do? Oh, boy.
00:57:49
Speaker
Swagger, the foe is confused, but your attack is plus four. Yeah, that's what I thought. So, you have the confusion status.
00:58:00
Speaker
Confusion, confusion. there's Confusion. Confusion. Confusion. Let me wrap that. uh attack if result is wait what you are confused for d6 turns roll dice when you attack even attack works i don't know if this works but i have inner focus i don't know if that does anything with confused oh that's only for flinch flinch or intimidate inner focus prevents flinch so go ahead and roll d six that's how many turns you're confused
00:58:33
Speaker
I think that's supposed to be you that rolls it. and Yeah, you roll. We don't know. Okay. You are confused for three turns. Don't I get a chance to roll out of it? Yes. Every turn, ah you don't get to roll out of it, but you do get to every time you roll, you roll any dice.
00:58:50
Speaker
If it's an even, your attack works. If it's odd, you hit yourself. I believe it's at half damage. yeah you roll damage in decaf without just the rolled damage not with adding god that is is a strong move in this system i remember it usually just being i have to roll to see if my attack works and roll to hit well it it helps that you're they're all glass cannons so you guys don't have too much uh health you just have a lot of attack yeah so for three turns the attack doesn't matter for confusion
00:59:29
Speaker
ah is It's not adding attack or special attack, it's just the roll to damage. Is Because that's the whole point of Swagger, is that you gain an attack from it.
00:59:41
Speaker
Yeah, but in this system, that doesn't really apply. don't know. I'll take that to a vote. Do you guys... Attack going up as a parent is independent of the confusion effect, then?
00:59:56
Speaker
Okay, so you guys don't want attack to count?
01:00:01
Speaker
Well, that's just how confusion is for this system. OK. Don't ask me. I'm unbiased right now. shit are biased.
01:00:13
Speaker
Okay, in that case we can do without, but I will say in the i future I might have to rework that. Because the whole point of Swagger is that it gives you an attack so that way you can hit yourself harder. That is the entire point of Swagger. Yes.
01:00:28
Speaker
so Oh no, I'm not disputing that. Just that that doesn't really work in this system. I see. ah Yeah, it doesn't work unless the attack actually counts in Confusion.
01:00:40
Speaker
Mm-hmm. So, okay, if that's the case, then I propose we do not give him a plus four to attack.
01:00:49
Speaker
I'll be fine. Because, like, it just basically turns it into Flatter, because Flatter does the same thing but boosting your special attack, and that never affects how much damage you do to yourself with Confusion. Yeah, i can see that. All right, fine. All right, fair, fair.
01:01:09
Speaker
So I get my four? air Yeah, you can have your four. Not like it's gonna matter. Alright. So... Right, so that's what he does. You are now confused for the next three of your turns.
01:01:22
Speaker
ah So, it is now Jake's turn.
01:01:28
Speaker
So... I'm gonna roll my own roll for smarts right now. just wanna see if I'm gonna do the smart thing and Not focus the Spearow. I'll keep focusing him.
01:01:43
Speaker
right. He's so not going to go for Spearow. He's going to try to jump on the boat and follow the tendril okay to the source. All right.
01:01:56
Speaker
Okay, ah so the boat is not like directly connected to the dock. It's being held on by like some ropes and stuff. So you do have to jump over the jump over the water to get to the boat. Can you roll an athletics check or dexterity?
01:02:11
Speaker
think they might do the same thing. Athletics, 19. Okay, 19. You make it over just fine. The reason I didn't have Eli do it is because he quick attacked over. I was going to ask about that. i you couldn attack Unless I could makeshift force palm make me just jump in the air, but I'd take an attack.
01:02:31
Speaker
That you didn't need to do. yeah so You land on the boat, and I guess I should have described this for or for Bruce when he landed earlier, but the deck of the boat is squishy.
01:02:43
Speaker
This is very gross feeling. With every step you take, it is wet and fleshy. is gonna do next Walter is too head-focused right now to find the Tendil so he can get back his um this item that he's had since day one.
01:03:01
Speaker
Okay, so the Spiro has your item. No, i know, your self is a my only high roll my role is to figure i think if Walter would understand I've done no damage with it, and there's something controlling him, so...
01:03:16
Speaker
I ruled if he would be sensible enough if he would go there and he got a 16 on that. Okay, so what are you doing? You still have both your action and your He's looking for the source where the tendril like stops.
01:03:29
Speaker
So you can see the tendrils, they head towards the boat and now that you're on the boat, you can see that the tendrils actually head like somewhat into the boat. Like there's a a door that seems to have a staircase that leads downwards, but you can't see where that staircase leads.
01:03:46
Speaker
Walter is gonna he's gonna try to go down there and um know, can i makeshift eat and I'm gonna have my aura sense, my inner focus to lead me to the source of it.
01:03:59
Speaker
You don't need to because you can already see the tendrils now that Bruce has pointed them out. So you can just see where they lead. And I will say you are doing a lot of action by leaping over the boat and running all the way into the belly of the boat. I'll be fine if that ends it. I'm getting there. You can enter the belly of the boat, but that will end your turn. I'll be fine.
01:04:25
Speaker
Okay.
01:04:28
Speaker
Alright, so, you had to... A little warning, guys. Don't come down here.
01:04:37
Speaker
i don't think we hear that, because... I know! think i just
01:04:46
Speaker
It would be a very bad idea for you to set off TNT down there anyways. Walter's looking for the gunpowder Walter's looking for the gunpowder room.
01:04:57
Speaker
Okay, so... monday for So, Jake, you manage to get down into the belly of the boat, and what you see is a big wriggling mass of flesh in the middle of the boat. All of the walls are still made of black oozing flesh.
01:05:18
Speaker
And in the center is this big sphere made of meat that is connected. They're being held up by like a bunch of tendrils to the walls and stuff. And every now and then as the ooze moves around you can see something shining on the inside.
01:05:36
Speaker
Something interesting. Something silvery and glinty.
01:05:42
Speaker
But that is where we're going to leave that for now. ah So it is now Evelyn's turn.
01:05:50
Speaker
Okay, so... ah I am gonna use... you know what? I'm gonna use...
01:06:04
Speaker
Electroball, because if I use Electroball, it's gonna hit the but it might also hit the... um It might also hit the tendrils or whatever the tendrils or the boat that the tendrils are connected to because because electricity travels.
01:06:27
Speaker
So I'll try that. Okay. So what are you aiming for specifically? Spearow? The Spearow. Okay. All right. Go ahead and roll for it.
01:06:41
Speaker
Six. Which misses? Well, meets beats. Is it six or eight? No, meets beats. Okay, so it's yeah that'll hit then. Okay, yeah. th So the damage dice, is its ah power is eight, so it's 3d8 plus 12.
01:06:58
Speaker
Jesus. Okay.
01:07:02
Speaker
Yeah, that's how high Hikaru's speed is. Oh,
01:07:08
Speaker
because it's leveled up. Right? Yeah. Yep, it's based on her speed. well And also, the number of uses level up thing. Oh yeah, that's right. I think i have not been keeping track of that, I'll be honest.
01:07:25
Speaker
yeah Yeah. Keep track of here how how many times you guys have used it, because it will help in a long run. Especially with how much you guys have been battling recently. I don't know if you guys actually haven't been battling that much recently.
01:07:38
Speaker
Yeah, it'll add up more than you think.
01:07:42
Speaker
Okay, so I think I just rolled 3, a 2, and a 7, So 12 plus 12, 24. 24. Yes, 24. Plus Hikaru's special attack, which is 13. So the total would 37. Alright, 37 minus special defense
01:07:54
Speaker
plus hickcar's special attack which is thirteen
01:08:00
Speaker
total would be thirty seven all right sorry seven minus special defense is
01:08:08
Speaker
Alright, that'll be... Wouldn't that be super effective? interaction so twenty it is It is super effective, so 50. It'll say flying type on my trick.
01:08:19
Speaker
yeah Yeah, so that'll do 50 damage.
01:08:25
Speaker
So... um Go ahead and describe what you're doing. ah One thing I do want you guys to do more often, now that I've realized, you guys should actually be describing what your moves do when they happen.
01:08:41
Speaker
So
01:08:44
Speaker
Hikaru uses like her arms to generate like generate an electric... a ball of electricity in her a glowing ball of electricity in her hands, and and then like lobs it at the Spearow. Like somebody throwing a throwing a basketball.
01:09:08
Speaker
and um
01:09:12
Speaker
And yeah, and it smacks into the Spearow and we'll see what happens. So the ball of electricity does in fact smack into the side of the Spearow. And for a flicker of a second, you see something change in the Spearow.
01:09:26
Speaker
But just as fast as his emotions change, they change back and he's back to his hearty self. Ha! You really thought that was gonna do anything? Well, just wait until it's my turn, he says, looking at his watch. In like a few minutes, you will see my true wrath. Dakota, did that affect the orbital? What kind of watch is he wearing?
01:09:49
Speaker
He's wearing a Rolex, obviously. He's a pirate. that On his wing? or He's the bling on. It's on his neck. Oh, wow. oh yeah enough He's got a pole on his hair so much.
01:10:07
Speaker
Alright, Evelyn, you still have a bonus action. oh yeah
01:10:12
Speaker
Hikaru's mouth just like gapes open as she watches it. As she watches the electro ball just poof in disbelief.
01:10:24
Speaker
Like, oh, it didn't it didn't do much. Well, did it? It did 50 damage, but like, it sounds like it didn't actually do that.
01:10:35
Speaker
Didn't actually do that much. Well, he described it like you saw it knocked him out of like a transfer for a second and went right back in.
01:10:46
Speaker
Oh. I have the teacher's lounge pulled up our a private chat. After all the stupid gifs Jake's posting. out Mid-recording.
01:11:01
Speaker
so you get you still have your bonus action of one. Do I? Okay. Um...
01:11:09
Speaker
Alright, and then... So as a bonus action, I'll use... I'll use Charm. Okay.
01:11:24
Speaker
Again. So is that attack minus two? Or what is that? um I have to roll. I have to roll to hit.
01:11:34
Speaker
Oh! This time I got a nine. ah nine? That beats a six.
01:11:39
Speaker
um So attack minus four, yes. a Attack minus four. Alright, he now only has a plus two. Oops.
01:11:51
Speaker
Okay, so. Yeah, because he has Walter's a power band. and my move just ah leveled up. Wait, minus two. Shit, hold on, wait. That was above for a six to a four. Oops.
01:12:07
Speaker
Oh, your move leveled up. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. So that doesn't seem to do anything because charm doesn't do any damage. Oh, right. i didn't even think about that.
01:12:23
Speaker
The way i have the move level ups go is I have it reference the base power chart and increase it by one. Oh, that's interesting. I don't know. Jake.
01:12:35
Speaker
it
01:12:37
Speaker
God damn it. I was in the middle of talking. Oh, my gosh. it's What did you do this time?
01:12:49
Speaker
So, anyway, takes place a stupid image in the Discord. That ah ne thing again. Yes, that thing again. Uh, so... Has the audience seen the thing?
01:13:04
Speaker
Yes, it was an old version of it. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's in general. it's this It's the stupid... It's our logo with all the characters on it, except that Hikara has a Giga chat face on instead.
01:13:18
Speaker
my gosh. oh guys So, okay. of course I don't know what i'm gonna do about that, because I can't change that on the fly.
01:13:29
Speaker
That's really interesting. um yeah I don't think we had a good answer for what to do for status moves. I didn't even think about it. We can talk about it later.
01:13:42
Speaker
wait this be yeah i' was gonna say for now right in the uh in the the column uh uh next to us is number of uses just like put a note down that just says like plus one uh to charm or something like that but just note it down somewhere and uh hopefully we remember in the future because yeah i didn't even think about that if i did i didn't remember it ye
01:14:08
Speaker
okay um right it is eli's turn Yeah, so Bruce is going to try once again for StatChecker. Just real quick, take take a glance back at the Spearow.
01:14:27
Speaker
That's a six plus one. Yeah, six plus one, seven. Still still not getting anything. Okay. Bruce is like, okay, well well, Walter just ran downstairs.
01:14:39
Speaker
bru Bruce's first thought when landing on this side very very uncomfortable surface on the deck was, okay, it's flame wheel time.
01:14:53
Speaker
And he is going to just go he is going to go into a flame wheel to go down the steps and just travel across this flashy feeling stuff in flame wheel. Oh, then.
01:15:07
Speaker
Come on. Why? ah ah Okay. So, okay. so But flame wheel's a... Is that an eight to hit?
01:15:21
Speaker
Flame wheel is a six to hit. Oh, you rolled a seven, didn't you? not No, I rolled ah i rolled a seven on my stat checker. Oh, right, were right, right, right. um Yeah, okay. so So I'm trying to just blast my way down the stairs that Walter just went through t like, assuming that there's something down there that probably needs to eat a hit or two. Okay.
01:15:53
Speaker
Alright, so you're heading down there. Well, flame wheeling. Okay. So how does flame wheeling look like as he traveled towards the door that Jake went down? So imagine Sonic, but on fire and red instead of blue. Oh, I actually really like that.
01:16:13
Speaker
that's That's better than what I was thinking. I was thinking you were going cartwheel down the stairs. No, no, it's like Sonic Spin Dash, on know I like that. Yeah, actually I really like that. Okay.
01:16:27
Speaker
Okay, ah so you make it down the stairs, and you are confronted with a big, massive ball. You've heard my description before. It's, you know, big and fleshy.
01:16:43
Speaker
Yeah, he he's gonna just... this He's gonna immediately just, like, do do the the flame wheel jump towards it.
01:16:54
Speaker
Okay. What's up, Jake? Did you hear what you just said? We're all cracking each other up. ah What?
01:17:04
Speaker
You walk in this corner and you see this big ball and it's fleshy. can see how they can out who
01:17:19
Speaker
Okay, Jake.
01:17:23
Speaker
Right. So... Okay, what did you say you were gonna do, Eli? So, I'm gonna, like, do do the thing where they, like, do do the the jump at something while they're, like, flame wheeling.
01:17:41
Speaker
Classic, like, Ash Infernape style thing.
01:17:47
Speaker
Yep, I definitely know what you're talking about. So you're going to try and use flame... Yeah, so I'm using flame wheel on that the the fleshy monstrosity.
01:17:59
Speaker
Yep, I figured as much. ah And if you're curious, I have it written down as the mass. Ah. The fuck is with you guys posting cursed Pikachu pictures?
01:18:11
Speaker
What? piachoo pictures yeah
01:18:16
Speaker
Is that thing? That is horrifying. So go ahead and roll accuracy.
01:18:24
Speaker
Did you roll accuracy already? Well, you didn't roll accuracy on the mass. No, I didn't. No, go ahead and roll accuracy.
01:18:36
Speaker
It's a nine. All right, nine will do it. Okay, so that is 2d6 plus 8. Because this is my first time using Flame Wheel, because I just learned it recently.
01:18:51
Speaker
Okay. alright Apparently, according to my sheet. Or at least this is the first time I've used it since we started keeping track. Oh, okay.
01:19:03
Speaker
Well, that's a 4 and 1, so that'll be 5, 13, plus physical attack going to be fire damage?
01:19:17
Speaker
physical
01:19:20
Speaker
right twenty seven fire damage yeah um okay so 27, 5, all right. Ooh, thank you buddy. Hey, hey. He's laying on my basket, let's move my mask around.
01:19:35
Speaker
Okay, so you said 27, right? Mm-hmm. All right, so that is going to do, oh God, I can't do mask. That's going to do eight damage. You go ahead and you basically spin dash onto this mask and it seems to do nothing.
01:19:53
Speaker
Oh, that's right. There is also a burn chance. Ooh, go for it. We... Ah, yes, light the boat on fire.
01:20:05
Speaker
Nope. That is a g nat one on the effect roll. Nothing happens. Okay. Gotcha. all Alright, so ah it is now time for Spearow who is still up on deck battling with Hikaru. So the Spearow is going to go for another
01:20:31
Speaker
i go for
01:20:36
Speaker
go go for another c Because unfortunately he doesn't have very many good moves for electric type. So, uh... It ain't this guy's fault, but we're wrong with Spiro once we get him to return to normal.
01:20:50
Speaker
Okay. Uh, he's rolled an 8. Is Hikaru holding a held item?
01:20:56
Speaker
Uh, is Hikaru holding held item now? Instrument.
01:21:01
Speaker
No. Okay, so no held item? know that counted
01:21:07
Speaker
okay so no he data Okay, so it does not steal anything from him, but it's gonna do 2d6 plus 8. 2d6, that's a 5, and a 2. So that's 7, 8, 15.
01:21:20
Speaker
so i Does it hit, though? Yes, I rolled a... I think it's an 8. There's a dice on my thing that says 8. I know it hit. oh So... 5, 2, 8, 15 plus physical...
01:21:34
Speaker
aged fifteen loss physical
01:21:39
Speaker
That's cool. That's going to be 29 damage. Oh, and then minus defense is 14. Oh, uh... 14 is my defense. Okay. So back to 15. Oh, okay.
01:21:56
Speaker
All right. ah So she takes 15 damage, right? Yes, and for his bonus action, he's going to use Swagger.
01:22:08
Speaker
Also, you know what? Something I've realized. I'm not gonna retcon it, but ah the Spearow used Swagger on ah Walter as a bonus action, so you should have technically only gotten plus to attack, but it's whatever. No.
01:22:24
Speaker
Right. Also, it should have the confusion effect halved as well. Yeah, probably. We're going to be confused for two turns instead of three, assuming we round up or down there.
01:22:39
Speaker
if If you want, we can make that change. I mean, it doesn't it hasn't taken effect yet, so changing it wouldn't change anything.
01:22:49
Speaker
Jake, that's up to you. I didn't actually make an attack last turn. yeah Jake, I'll leave that up to you. Do you want me to have it? Because you'll only have one turn of being confused, but you will lose plus two attack.
01:23:00
Speaker
Sure. I'm not paying on using my attack anyway. Okay, so set your attack to plus two, and you're only confused for one turn. Which already happened. Which already happened. Yeah, I just realized that too.
01:23:15
Speaker
So you are no longer confused. Okay. Hey. um aunt The reason I was brought up is Swagger is Spira's only bonus action applicable move. So he's going to use Swagger on Hikaru and needs to roll a nine.
01:23:30
Speaker
Rolled a 13. So you are confused for D6 turns, but you get plus two attack. D6 times divided by 2 is 5, which would round down to 2.
01:23:41
Speaker
So you are confused for 2 turns. You get attack plus 2. So the Spearow looks at you and he... How does Swagger work? I mean, the reason I gave Swagger to Spearow is because Jack Sparrow like staggers around. It's not Swaggering, but I thought that was fitting.
01:24:00
Speaker
Because jack's Jack Sparrow is always confused and stuff. and He can be very swaggerish. I don't know. so heat The Spearow's gonna use swagger on you. So, there's that.
01:24:17
Speaker
And... Hikaru goes like... She just starts like... Turning around. Like, walking around. Kind of... Dizzy. um And...
01:24:29
Speaker
slow But also... Hikaru's drunk. So, yeah basically the flavor text for Swagger is that the user enrages the target, leaving them confused about boosting their attack.
01:24:47
Speaker
Ah, okay. You're basically trolling them. That's what it is. You're internet trolling them and making them mad. It's rage bait. Yeah, it is. It's rage bait. That's awesome. It's what you do in Call of Duty. You rage bait them and they play worse in the game.
01:25:02
Speaker
Okay, so she she goes like, uh, you ever see the, um, The Rock Obama on Saturday Night Live skit? No, I have not. i don't watch that scene, I'm sorry. That was funny. So, she does, like, basically, like, Wait, why does she, I'm a Pikachu, why do I sound like that?
01:25:23
Speaker
And then,
01:25:26
Speaker
And then she starts, like, raging, like,
01:25:33
Speaker
Ha ha, you're as weak as a Pikachu. She like wants to pick stu but wants to like pick somebody up and throw them off the dock. Look at the Incredible Hulk over here, at the Incredible Hikaru.
01:25:44
Speaker
oh Here's something you piss off a Pikachu. you go You're just an Emolga clone. You're an Emolga clone. Oh my god, you referenced the fact that he's like the Frenchman from Multi Python. I should just have swagger be that he insults you into rage.
01:26:01
Speaker
Like literal rage baiting.
01:26:05
Speaker
that's Your powers less than S'apar! Try to do French. Okay, alright. It is now time for the mass.
01:26:19
Speaker
That's right. The mass has entered combat. What this, Halo? like the flood? The Mass has entered combat. So... I have a character sheet for The Mass.
01:26:30
Speaker
all Alright. So, The Mass is going to use Iron Defense. Oh, yeah. No Accuracy. Your Defense plus 4.
Jake and Walter's Tactical Moves
01:26:44
Speaker
And as a bonus action, it's going to use Amnesia. No Accuracy. Special Defense plus 4. Which will go down to 2 because it's a bonus action.
01:27:02
Speaker
Alright, it is now Jake's turn. Yeah. Uh huh. Um, so how far away am I from the mass?
01:27:14
Speaker
Uh, you'd be like a good like 10, 10, 15 feet. I'm gonna get the far away I can that I know I can throw this. And then I'm gonna throw a TNT at it.
01:27:26
Speaker
Oh god. Okay, you can either go up the stairs or you can go to the other side of the room, which I'll say is like 30 feet away from the mass. yeah Don't forget, Bruce is also close to the mass.
01:27:39
Speaker
You ruined my plan, Bruce.
01:27:44
Speaker
I'm trying to not blow up this ship while we deal with this because this ship is still our ticket to the place after we have bring it back to normal.
01:27:58
Speaker
I'm half tempted to see what a transport orb would do to it. Oh, that'd be interesting. That would be very interesting. You know what? Knowing that they get sold in shops now, I'm not that concerned about the um holding onto it.
01:28:14
Speaker
So, you know what? Walter chucks it at it. Oh god, okay. Alright, so go ahead. Now, do you roll accuracy for it?
01:28:25
Speaker
Go ahead and pull accuracy with the base of 6, I think is what thrown items are. Nat 20. Okay, so normally... Why couldn't you be away? That could have been the TNT!
01:28:40
Speaker
Okay, so I think, okay, so I had an idea, but because you rolled a nat 20, I think I want to do this. Okay. Jake, I want you to pull up a random number generator from one... Oh, wait, what am I doing? i' have a random Pokemon generator. Hold on. I was going last time you did the years.
01:29:00
Speaker
Yeah, you're right, you're right. All right, share your screen. Generator. OK. Yeah, it's the same website as before. right, hold on. Let me find Discord.
01:29:12
Speaker
All right. I swear, if we get a legendary, I'm i'm sorry, guys. Legendaries are included. All right, here we All right. We got a Mega last time. No way there's another power Pokemon.
01:29:27
Speaker
Fully evolved, not all of them. Do you want to take Megas this time? Yeah, Megas and Gigantamax. Take out alternate forms. far as i even I don't know what that means. all Alright.
01:29:40
Speaker
I'm shocked you're allowing legendaries into this just for the fact that there's only supposed to be one. It's a transform orb. It pulls from the entire list. I know. Alright. You guys ready?
01:29:51
Speaker
Yeah. I'm scared. Alright. No way!
01:29:58
Speaker
No way! baby Cyndaquil! Oh my god! It's a Cyndaquil! Oh my gosh, they're go we're going to lose track of who's the Bruce.
01:30:09
Speaker
Oh my god, that's so cute. thats The mass in front of you turns into a crystal Cyndaquil. Well, we're not going to to worry about losing track of who's who.
01:30:21
Speaker
After a second, the Crystal Cyndaquil looks at you, and part of the ship, like, not not a lot of it, but a bit of the flesh on the walls ship gravitate towards the Crystal Cyndaquil and cover it, as if in a protective layer.
01:30:38
Speaker
Interesting. Don't forget to stop sharing. oh Stop sharing. Stop sharing. Oh, what? You're right. that bit breath Thank you. Sorry, I pulled up my character sheet as well.
01:30:51
Speaker
Shit. That's right. So all your stats have to change too now that you're a Cyndaquil. Yeah, you're a Firetuck now. Maybe not. That's the reason it's Crustle. You'll see.
01:31:04
Speaker
Uh, wow. This thing turned into a Cyndaquil when it was a trend from a transfer orb. There's a reason. And I do want point out, it might be little bit scummy, but the item says, Foe transforms into a different Foe. It doesn't say it transforms into a different Pokemon. So, just going point that out.
01:31:30
Speaker
I think that's just straight from the in-game text. Well, it's certainly a different foe now. Alright. Evelyn, it is your turn. You are still up top, I believe.
01:31:45
Speaker
I wish I had bonus actions left.
01:31:49
Speaker
Wait. Oh, right. You don't have any bonus actions. I need a roll for confusion. nope um bitter Do I do that before my turn? Uh, I would do it before Eternia, it would save a lot time. Even means you continue as normal, odd means you... Actually, no.
01:32:04
Speaker
ah Go ahead and choose your move, because the way Confusion works is if it doesn't work, you still have to roll that move. no So, you have to roll that move against you, so... Does the Spear react to anything?
01:32:16
Speaker
With what's going on? ah Okay. Oh, that's a great question. I'll have Kikara roll when I think about that. Um...
01:32:26
Speaker
Because right now it's master is in danger. that's interesting. Um... Did it stats... Did the iron defense... I'm sorry, i was going to say, did the defenses like that the boost he get get reverted?
01:32:42
Speaker
ah you don't know. Yeah, they shouldn't have. don't think they would have.
01:32:54
Speaker
Oh. I'm going to pick... I'll pick Electro... I'll pick Electro Ball again. Okay, so go ahead and roll odds or evens.
01:33:06
Speaker
Odds or evens? For your confusion.
01:33:12
Speaker
Odd. Alright, odd means it hit it it hit to you. Oh, yeah. So go ahead and roll Electro Ball against yourself. Roll Accuracy. You were like, was saying.
01:33:24
Speaker
No, it is that's not how confusion works. I mean you roll for crit. You roll for crit. Yeah, I guess you can roll for crit, but...
01:33:37
Speaker
I don't think you can crit yourself in confusion, but okay. Actually, no, I think you're correct. You can't crit yourself in confusion, but you definitely can't miss in confusion, so... Yeah. Yeah, okay, so just no accuracy roll.
01:33:50
Speaker
I just spent all this time putting my dice up and I don't know why. I just put all my dice up for no reason. good job. okay
01:34:02
Speaker
Okay. so ah Okay. again, that's a 3d8 plus 12. Oh no. Thankfully, it's only taken at half. Okay.
01:34:18
Speaker
Depending on what generation is when, depending if electric can hurt electric pipes. I don't think electric's a new electric unless you have a... It's probably just anime logic.
01:34:31
Speaker
That's a bad roll. Okay, six plus five plus seven is 18. eighteen plus it's ah It's dumb anime logic from Unova. 30 divided by 2 is 15.
01:34:43
Speaker
Oh, jeez. Another 15. That's a big hit. Oh, yeah, you took 15 last time, too. oh no no. That's a lot for Pikachu. I'm down to 20. Oh, jeez. Okay. Bruce, we probably should have both left her, im now realizing. i was kind of expecting her to follow us, but oh, well.
01:35:04
Speaker
but Oh, well.
01:35:08
Speaker
I mean, we we don't know what's going on We're not in that area. Okay. So we're about the you can still use your bonus action, but it will proc a confusion if you choose to use that.
01:35:26
Speaker
Can i but Actually, I don't know that matter because that's a charm. Charm's your only bonus action, right?
01:35:34
Speaker
Charm yourself. I guess you could maybe charm yourself. Is that how we want to do that? Wow, I'm just so beautiful. Yeah, I know. You accidentally pull out a mirror.
01:35:46
Speaker
You fall in love with yourself.
01:35:50
Speaker
In the infatuated condition. That'd be funny. Can I use an item? Yeah, go for it. Alright. Well, I'm going to pull out one of my...
01:36:06
Speaker
Oran Berries. Oh, okay. And roll D8 for HP. Alright. Oh, that's a 5. Nice. let You heal 5 HP.
01:36:20
Speaker
A measly 5 HP. And with that, it is now Eli's turn. Oh, yeah. um Well, this thing is now Cyndaquil.
01:36:32
Speaker
and It is a fleshy crystal Cyndaquil. Yeah.
01:36:40
Speaker
Can I roll something to figure out if it's what what type it is? Uh, what it is Say that again? Yeah, what type it is.
01:36:52
Speaker
Oh, okay, yeah. Did it change type when it transformed? What type is this thing? Sure. With your stat checker, I would say you could do that. Oh.
01:37:04
Speaker
Okay. ah Well, either way, I was thinking it would be a smart roll, so I guess it's still a smart roll either way. Okay. Let's see if I can finally... Okay. It's a 15 plus 1, 16.
01:37:20
Speaker
Finally got a decent smart roll. Hey, there you go. So, a 16 is a full success. What does that say for full success? You learn two of foe's stats. Your choice, ask DM.
01:37:32
Speaker
Okay. Alright, you want to... So I'll give you the two most most interesting ones. the ah So you want to type. ah The type is neutral type.
01:37:46
Speaker
Oh, so it's no type. It's... Yeah. good Yeah. Well, I would assume that's no type. right That is correct. It has type. Yeah, okay. It's HP is 147 currently.
01:38:00
Speaker
Oh boy. Okay. Well, um... Got it. We are then going go for...
01:38:07
Speaker
oh oh boy okay well um yeahtting
01:38:16
Speaker
we are then going to go for
01:38:22
Speaker
ah
01:38:27
Speaker
Oh boy. You know what? I think i'm gonna I'm gonna have to do this. I'm gonna go for a Fury Swipes. Okay.
01:38:38
Speaker
So 14, so it hits. or Oh, that's right. Duh. Roll one d four first and then that's how many... one Yeah, 1d4 plus 1 is how many chances i have. plus Nice, have one hit already from a
01:38:58
Speaker
17, two hits. Six, that's a miss. 18, three hits.
01:39:08
Speaker
Eight, miss, three hits. Okay. Okay, so that's 1d6 plus three for each hit. So that's 3d6 plus nine.
01:39:25
Speaker
Okay, so is defense calculated against each individual hit or as a total? I'm actually not sure. I think it's each hit.
01:39:38
Speaker
I so think it's each hit. That's how it is i know in all games. Yeah. yep Yeah, it should be each hit. So it'll be plus attack times three minus defense times three. Okay. Okay.
01:39:53
Speaker
It would not be calculated that way because I can tell you. um Each of your attacks is going to do one damage. Oh. What?
01:40:06
Speaker
What? So even what? so oh So it's got more than 23 defense? That is correct. Wow. That's fun.
01:40:19
Speaker
So I guess it doesn't really matter. It does three damage. It has three damage. Huh. Alright. And I do believe you have a spare attack bonus action.
01:40:34
Speaker
Uh, just quick attack. Let's see. Yeah, know. If only there was a really big powerful move that could pierce his defense.
01:40:45
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah, I think I'm going to, uh, I'm gonna look at Walter, be like, Oh boy, this thing is rough.
01:41:03
Speaker
I think I might have to give you permission to do it. And I'm gonna quick attack up to the stairs. All right, things are about to get spicy.
01:41:19
Speaker
cool Okay, so you're on a quick attack up the stairs. It's not an attack, ref I'll just let you do that. So, with that, it is the Spearow's turn. Alright, the Spearow is going to once ahead once again go ahead and attack Evelynn.
01:41:32
Speaker
And it is going to do... but up up that it is simply, because you're already confused, I'm not gonna have to Swagger. So, it is going to use Gust, which is Gust!...accuracy of six.
01:41:46
Speaker
Rolled a 19. So it's gonna do 1d8 plus 6 as damage to you. um
01:41:54
Speaker
So it's going to do 2. Is that physical damage? Uh, So it's going 2 plus 6 is 8. Plus it's special of 11. Did I say 8? 8 plus 11, 19. 19 minus your special defense.
01:42:12
Speaker
Special defense is 14. Alright. Oh. And then it's not very effective. yeah Oh, okay, well there you go.
01:42:24
Speaker
nineteen minutes So, five divided by two. Are we doing, are we rounding? Round down. How are we rounding? It always rounds down. Okay. Okay.
01:42:36
Speaker
He does not have a bonus action that he can use. a Swagger wouldn't do anything to you, I don't think. other than give you extra attack. So I'm going to not use my bonus action.
01:42:48
Speaker
and So Hikaru experiences this as like a gentle wind on oh blowing through her fur. It's like, oh, that actually felt kind of nice. Yes, it was almost refreshing.
01:42:59
Speaker
The mass is going to take its turn and it is actually going to use metronome because it only has three moves.
01:43:11
Speaker
It has iron defense, metronome, and amnesia.
01:43:15
Speaker
So I actually have to pull up course it does. Because it is an agent of chaos. Yep, that's what I was about to say. As any good agent of chaos should do. So I need to, uh, 1 in 935. Random number generator. Should have pulled this out beforehand. Come on, memento. 935. Alright, it is 865. 865 Tickle.
01:43:41
Speaker
nine thirty five it is eight hundred and sixty five eight hundred and sixty five is tickle Those opponents attack and defense by two.
01:43:53
Speaker
It is an accuracy of... Oh wait, I didn't roll accuracy for it. 18, it hits. You don't roll accuracy until you do the move, I think.
01:44:04
Speaker
Okay, well has an accuracy of six, so 18 will hit. So Jake, your attack and defense minus two.
01:44:17
Speaker
That's right. He said he had to step away. I will note that down for him. um So, alright. In that case, ah we are going to... He is going to use ah Amnesia as a bonus action, which will increase his special defense by 2.
01:44:38
Speaker
So now both his defense and special defense are boosted by 4.
01:44:44
Speaker
Hey guys, FutureDakota here. um You're going to notice this episode is really long.
Recording Delays and Health Issues
01:44:48
Speaker
That's because this is actually two recording sessions stitched together. The first recording of this was recorded over a month ago, I believe, and we ended up having to end recording for various technical reasons.
01:45:03
Speaker
we didn't get to record it for about a month afterwards because of fourth of july i got really bad strep throat which uh you're going to notice in what's coming up you're going to notice my voice is really like uh not great i so i was still getting over having strep throat so i wasn't like able to laugh correctly my voice was all sorts of fucked up so If you notice anything different about my voice, that's why. I'm sorry it took so long to get this episode out. We have so much going on with the holidays, me getting sick and stuff. so
01:45:34
Speaker
ah With that, what you're about to hear was actually recorded a month after what you just heard. So ah if we forgot anything, please forgive us.
01:45:46
Speaker
I tried my best to keep everything as is, and I'm editing it to the point where should all make sense. So without further ado, I'll let past me take it from here.
01:45:59
Speaker
Okay, ah Jake. Yes. It is. Now your turn, Jake. I am going to throw a TNT at it. I'm going to try to throw it like before the mass surrounds it.
01:46:10
Speaker
Do I even need you to roll accuracy for that? Because has a blast radius of... Roll for crit. Oh yeah, roll for crit. was going to you're throwing it in a closed space. It's not going to miss. Alright, I'm going to close my eyes. I'm not going to look at it. And also...
01:46:28
Speaker
Okay, go for it. Oh my gosh, that was close. It rolled on 20, then rolled off. No, no crit. God, that would have been amazing. It rolled on a crit, and then it rolled on a 14. Okay, yeah.
01:46:46
Speaker
Not a crit, but, I mean, it's not an at-one, which is what counts for this roll. Yes. ah happy Plug my phone in. So... No one would have believed me if I got Kripp here.
01:47:00
Speaker
Okay, so... what's the damage for a bundle of TNT? Right, 10d10. Okay, so go ahead and roll 10d10. Let's just give you a minute.
01:47:11
Speaker
I'm pulling up a site to roll this. Dang, doesn't have 10 physical d10s. I do, but it would take me forever to dig them out.
01:47:23
Speaker
Ah, dang. Actually, hold on. Is this one? No, it's a D8. Hold on. You're making me. All right. Oh, that's a 12. Yeah. Get the physical dice.
01:47:34
Speaker
We got some time. right. No, that's another Here we go. Here's a D10. Here go. Five. That's a two. That's eight. That's
01:47:44
Speaker
back two that's an eight
01:47:49
Speaker
Um, that's another 8. 16. Wait, hold on. You said a 2. That's 7. Fuck, I can't count. Alright. Hold on, just gonna type in. 5. Okay. I'll type it in. 5, 2. I'm typing it in right now, so we'll be able to count.
01:48:02
Speaker
Okay. 5, alright.
01:48:16
Speaker
Shit, two 10s in a row.
01:48:21
Speaker
Ooh, fun. One, two, three, Alright, last roll. Oh, that rolled off.
01:48:31
Speaker
Okay.
01:48:37
Speaker
So, that'd be a... Okay. So, we got a... Here, I'll let you. it's your turn. You go ahead. two, an eight, a five, a four, a three, two tens, a seven, and four. So...
01:48:50
Speaker
That's math. Okay. I'm gonna pull the pen for that, I don't trust you. thirty four 30, 40... You see, we wouldn't have to do this if I didn't get baited.
01:49:01
Speaker
We'd have this immediately. Alright, 58. Exactly. Eli is correct. 58 damage. Just barely above, um... barely above the average. Yeah.
01:49:13
Speaker
Okay.
Post-Explosion Regrouping
01:49:15
Speaker
So, you throw this TNT at the Crystal Cyntaquil in the middle of the room, and things happen.
01:49:24
Speaker
First thing, i would... Can you write the description for that TNT? Because I think I put a blast radius here. you just gave me damage.
01:49:34
Speaker
Oh, I could have sworn I gave you a blaster radius for it. Because there was a caveat about being too close to the blast. Okay. um Excuse me. So, what in that case, what going to say, you throw this TNT. You're still, like, a good, what, like, 20 feet away from crystal. Well, it doesn't blow up immediately. I was going to try to run.
01:49:56
Speaker
Okay, okay, okay. let's ah Let's say it has a wick on it. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you throw this TNT. I'm gonna give you like a good quick movement action before it blows up. Do you still have quick attack?
01:50:09
Speaker
No. He only has punchy moves, remember? i only punchy moves. Can I try to like jump and force palm and try to get like a boost out of it? You're gonna like side air out of the arena. I'm gonna try to, um... I'm gonna one one piece, jump on one piece, is' like double jump this.
01:50:28
Speaker
yeah Okay. Go ahead. I love that. Go ahead and roll me acrobatics. Yeah, acrobatics. Oh, okay. Acrobatics. And that's under, um... Cool.
01:50:40
Speaker
Why gotta be cool? Why can't it be tough? Ugh. Alright, um, 19. 19.
01:50:49
Speaker
Oh hell yeah, a 19. Okay, so with a 19 you are able to... trying to remember, what is Lucario's side B in Smash Melee? Isn't it just literally force pump?
01:51:04
Speaker
I think it is. Okay, so it's actually just a force pump. Okay, I did remember. but Okay, so yeah, you pretty much... It's just like a... whoo you just force palming over and over and over and over upstairs.
01:51:25
Speaker
Which isn't any faster than running. No question, does this does this count as number of uses?
01:51:33
Speaker
and You don't have force palms. Yeah, I do. to you? You do? It's my fifth move. fifth actually like with move Okay, I'll give you, a yeah, yeah, since you're using Force Palm over and over, i will give that to you. Go ahead and add, uh, four counters to Force Palm. Alright, that's cheese, but... Hey, you guys never... You guys never tried using it out of battle, I will say. That is true.
01:52:04
Speaker
I do feel like I need to come up with something for that, because you can't just have you guys using Electro Ball 15 times. about Oh, look at that! My prop! Me and Hikaru just exclusively move around to using Quick Attack.
01:52:17
Speaker
Yeah, um... would Probably make it like a training check to even give it to you.
01:52:26
Speaker
Uh, yeah, I think I would have a separate thing for if you guys use it out of battle, but I like the creativity of what you did here, I'll reward you for that. ah Since apparently I've forgotten what inspiration is so. ah You managed to side-B your way up the stairs, and you meet up with- You know what's funny? This levels it up.
01:52:48
Speaker
Of course. Okay, well that's why I gave it a four. I thought it started at one, so I thought that might have leveled it up. Yep. does it start So, there you go. Your Force Palm got increased damage.
01:53:00
Speaker
Wait, do they start at 1? Then I need change some numbers if they all started at 1. I believe they started at 0. I mean, your number of uses just started at 0, but you might have used it in the past, I don't know. Oh, you're right.
01:53:13
Speaker
I do have... All my all besides my um Ice Punch have number of uses in it, because don't use Ice Punch barely ever. Oh, yeah. Which is really weird because I feel like Ice would be super effective against most of the Pokemon. Well, it was before we went 4.4.
01:53:31
Speaker
Where I used it against the dragons. Okay, clear face, that's before you upgraded to 4.4. I played sure 4.4 has been out for like months and months now. know what, I know what.
01:53:42
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, so, uh, you meet up with Eli at the top, and as at this point, you guys don't hear anything.
01:53:53
Speaker
What you notice is you guys are suddenly deaf. You can't hear anything because you guys are flying backwards into the, uh, being flung into the ocean, and your eardrums have completely burst. You guys have detonated a bomb about 50 feet away from you. And ah Walter and Eli are getting flung into the ocean.
01:54:18
Speaker
Kikaru, you are close enough to get affected by the blast. You get launched back onto the docks. You do not get affected as much you do not get as affected as much as the others do, so you only get flung back as far as the docks.
01:54:35
Speaker
ah The captain comes flying with you. um The ship is in tatters. It is starting to sink. There is a massive hole in the ship now. as it is You know, I just remembered we were supposed to use this ship.
01:54:52
Speaker
Um, well... Yeah, that's yeah that's real unfortunate. we don't know if this is, like, the real ship, though, because... That's true. The ship had some real funky stuff going on with it, so that's true okay i will calculate damage now you did 58 damage correct uh 52 i i'm gonna take that as physical damage uh what is 58 minus 34. i know you guys knew defense already any stats added on to that 34. oh do i add my attack to it i'll just know
01:55:27
Speaker
I don't think so. i did it last I'm pretty sure it's just a used item. Yeah, it's an item. Because it doesn't rely directly on your strength. It relies on the item itself. um Okay, hold on. It does, what is that, 34 damage.
01:55:45
Speaker
two is a mass and gonna say since uh you guys were somewhat caught in the blast you guys are going to take a quarter damage of that which is uh 29 divided by two wait what it oh uh quarter 58 58 which it should be minus here to be 14
01:56:07
Speaker
Rounded down? Uh, 29... Yeah, rounded down 14. 14 minus your defense. I take no damage. So everyone takes... Everyone, all the co-hosts, take 14 damage. Minus your defense. Dang! 14, so I get minus 1, because 1 is the minimum.
01:56:24
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Right, I also take 14 minus 14 damage. Oh my god, I didn't realize that was his current health. Holy fuck, you guys are in trouble. Uh... Okay. Okay.
01:56:37
Speaker
I'm guessing he's still up. Yeah, you forgot that you gave this guy over 100 health and then expected 10d10 to take him out.
01:56:49
Speaker
Hey, there's more than one way to solve a battle. mean, if I crit it, it probably would have. So... Okay, so what you guys see in front of you, I'll hand it over to you guys in a second. As the ship is sinking, the the spiritual energy, like the wispiness around the ship, has it's it hasn't dissipated. it is just no longer around the ship. The crystal cyndaquil is bobbing in the water. road And ah the captain is flopped onto the deck. So...
01:57:21
Speaker
car and the captor together and walter are together in the water away from the syndical crystal cinder qui what the heck just happened it you just hear in distance where wait
01:57:41
Speaker
walter like screaming tired yeah what we're also daafed true bruce is also like frantically trying to swim towards the shore.
01:57:54
Speaker
Oh, i I should say, you guys are temporarily disengaged from battle. You guys can of re-engage battle we'll keep initiative, but you guys can do whatever. Oh, okay. We'll swim to the docks, I guess.
01:58:07
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, Bruce is trying to frantically swim towards the dock while also like reeling from hearing loss.
01:58:18
Speaker
no Okay. Yeah, you guys managed to get back to the shore just fine. You guys don't have any trouble swimming or anything, unless you have it, like, in your character that you can't swim. Nope. I mean, we we have it that Bruce hates water. We never said that he can't swim.
01:58:33
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's true. I forgot about that whole thing with, like, the water dome in Gale Beach and the train station. Yeah, he just he still doesn't like that subway station, but... the Okay, I'll let you deal with that how are you want. Okay, uh, feel like Probably should roll, like, Constitution, I think. Okay. steve All right, see if he can withstand the will of the ocean.
01:58:57
Speaker
uh-oh. Uh-oh. That's a 7 plus 1, 8. Walter will help you. Walter will help him. Yeah, it so yeah and Bruce is, like, struggling swimming here. Can help him to give him advantage? Uh, sure. Go ahead and roll. Won't that be, like, Strength or Dexterity?
01:59:18
Speaker
Whatever you need to- whatever your swimming skill would be. I would help the athletics, I would think, should be tough. Yeah, actually, athletics makes no sense. Yeah. Are you guys coming to land near Hikaru?
01:59:33
Speaker
Bruce is just trying to get to whatever land is closest to him. Uh, 16.
01:59:40
Speaker
Okay, yeah, yeah, you can carry Bruce pretty easily. Just like he used to carry Sammy. Yeah, if I can carry Sammy, I can carry Bruce.
01:59:51
Speaker
Bruce is only, what, like 20 times lighter than Sammy was? Yeah, and that that was and that was upstairs.
02:00:05
Speaker
Okay, so after some time you guys manage to make it back to the docks. It is... Now all three of you guys are together, you two are soaked, and the captain is on the deck with you, although he is not actively doing anything. Oh my gosh, boys, boys, are you alright?
02:00:25
Speaker
He's faking! Attack the crystal! The crystal? Wait... He's pointing to the crystal, spawning the water. is that crystal thing? Oh, I can't- yeah, Hikaru hasn't seen it. So, uh, yeah, Hikaru, you can now see the crystal Cyndaquil in the water. It is like- It's controlling the shadows! I don't know if it's glowing or not, but that's fun. What is that thing?
02:00:47
Speaker
Hit it before the stuff starts surrounding it again. okay I better do that. Um, let me- It's in the water. You should be so you'd be super effective in the water.
02:00:59
Speaker
Yeah, but super effective against a crystal Cyndaquil? Oh no, it'd be hard for you to miss. If we use the same anime logic of Pikachu soaking a mud stale so this electric dart moves can listen be effective.
02:01:13
Speaker
Yeah, listen. okay If Ash can soak an onyx and make that actually affect an onyx then, that should work. Alright, that works. Um, okay. well Go ahead and roll damage for it then. do Are you wanting to re-engage battle? yes Yeah, yeah.
02:01:28
Speaker
I'm gonna... So I'm gonna go at it with a, uh...
Battle Conclusion and Reflections
02:01:32
Speaker
An electro ball? Okay. I wonder if its defenses are this ho yeah says high, even without the mucus surrounding it.
02:01:43
Speaker
Yep, go ahead and roll defense. What am I saying? Accuracy. Oh no! ah I'm gonna have to re-roll that because it fell on...
02:01:56
Speaker
I have like three d20s ready in case I drop a dice, just so i don't have to go and pick it up. sir
02:02:04
Speaker
It fell on my floor. Okay.
02:02:12
Speaker
You guys, I got a g nat 20. Did you do it? hey Hey, hey, nice. Okay, perfect. All right. Nice. Go ahead and roll damage.
02:02:24
Speaker
Damage. Okay. So that's Electro Ball. it does make it more effective.
02:02:31
Speaker
I'm so glad it doesn't get picked up by some castor. What is it? Crystal? For the audience, Eli's using his soundboard on Discord. just did the air horn because, you know, nat 20. Got use the air horn with the nat 20. For once, it's not Jake using the soundboard.
02:02:46
Speaker
So the normal dice for that is 3d8 plus 12. And so what's what's that? It'll be like max of that plus another damage die, right? Yep.
02:02:57
Speaker
Yeah. 36 plus one damage die, which is one d eight
02:03:03
Speaker
Five! So 41 plus special attack. special damage That's 13. So is it 54 total?
02:03:16
Speaker
Oh my god, you did as much damage as Jake's dynamite. oh Literally almost as much damage as TNT. YAY! Oh my Okay, 54. Now the question is, does he make it super effective because the Crystal Syndiquil is soaking wet?
02:03:35
Speaker
Okay, there is an effect in play, I cannot tell you guys what it is. So, with a... you said 54... Okay, give me a second to do some math. 54 minus Vessel Defense.
02:03:50
Speaker
Okay, okay, you actually met- so you hit this Cyndaquil with an Electro Ball and you can tell this has done a lot of damage.
02:04:01
Speaker
The Crystal Cyndaquil gets pushed further back into the ocean. It is not currently trying to swim but you can see it's like waving its arms around around trying to do something. Is it surrendering?
02:04:12
Speaker
up ah yeah it's got a little wave flag that's like how you resurrender so okay uh is everyone engaging in battle is there anyone who does not wish to join the battle bruce is spending a little bit of time just coughing up water on the shoreline whatever i think okay all right jake what about you he's going over to pick up his armband
02:04:40
Speaker
Okay, uh, well, uh, I know, but I don't know if that i don't know if that counts him as in battle, but he's doing, he's trying to do that. No, no, no, you can do that outside of battle. Uh, go ahead and roll in, uh, investigation. Yeah, investigation, you're looking for something specific.
02:04:55
Speaker
oh Um, that's test, test. Oh my god. I'm glad we got Craig rolling because my audio is not recording in Zencaster. Oh no. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, i just I just looked over to monitor. oh It's fine. We've got Craig in here. It's 14.
02:05:13
Speaker
Yeah. Hikaru just, like, jumps for joy. like, You said
02:05:26
Speaker
fourteen um okay that's right on the cusp of what i want to tell you You see multiple red objects floating in the ocean that could be a power band amongst the debris of the ship.
02:05:45
Speaker
No, no, that doesn't make any sense. just remember where the power band is. I was looking at the crow. No. No, no, no, i remember what happened to your power band. Disregard. So, yeah with 14, yeah, so with 14, it's still, you can see, it's still on the Spearow's neck.
02:06:03
Speaker
I'm yanking it off. He's holding in his hand, because he thiefed it off. I'm yanking it back. or Okay, so you go up to this, uh... girl And Spearow's like, what are you doing? Give me that. This is mine.
02:06:20
Speaker
I have no idea what his voice was for. No, this is mine. And he just like tugs it back. And it's like a classic back and forth. No, it's mine. No, this is mine. My guy is like ice punching like a thunder punch threatening him right now. He's like, give it back, you motherfucker.
02:06:35
Speaker
Like, say go ahead and roll intimidation against his, what, constitution? Nope. There's no fucking way you got nat 20. Take back my fucking arm, man. Alright, well, it doesn't matter what he rolled. He rolled a four, opposed. So, unless he's got a plus 17 in something. So he's like, James, alright, alright, alright, alright. Fucking take it, jeez, good god. He hasn't done enough damage as it is.
02:07:03
Speaker
ah I guess need i need and he like his eyes like glaze over and as the wisps of like the the tendrils the wisps the fucking shadowy nonsense surrounds him and his eyes glaze over and he's like I need to hurt you.
02:07:23
Speaker
Okay, so he's going to go for a thief on you and he is going to... see that's a five. He is going to... yeah, with an accuracy of requirement of six, he is going to lunge for the power band in your hand in your hand and he's like, I need to hurt you. He just lunges forward and it just falls flat on his face.
02:07:44
Speaker
Clearly still disoriented from the explosion. um all right uh next in combat we've got somebody because i put my notes away all right the next is the crystal syndaquil who is going to ah as you see from the water he starts to rise up like float a little bit above the water and he is going to go for it a metronome aimed at i don't think it has
02:08:16
Speaker
an aimed thing. met but or At least Metronome doesn't aim until it's used when it's used in its multiple opponents. Okay.
02:08:28
Speaker
Okay, well, if it if it's a single turret, he's gonna go for Walter because he blew him up. okay ah Fair enough. Oh my god, wait, I forgot. I gotta roll D move. How many are there? 935? God damn, I forgot about this. Rolladie.com, come back to me.
02:08:49
Speaker
Alright, what did i say? 935? Alright, we got move 172. Which is... 172 Disarming voice. Uh-oh. It is very tight move. ignores accuracy.
02:08:57
Speaker
which it is
02:09:01
Speaker
yeah one seventy two is disarming voice oh it is a very tight poof me and it ignores accuracy It ignores accuracy and evasiveness. Which is funny because it forgotten which is funny cause I forgot to roll accuracy.
02:09:18
Speaker
ah Why? So many fairy moves. Okay, it is a power base power of 4.
02:09:30
Speaker
At least it's a weak. Yeah, it's 1d8 plus 6. So, oops, that's a d4. Where am I getting each? That's it. we myug that's it uh he got a seven plus six is 13 plus his what is disarmament so special special special thresholdho attack what did i say he rolled 13 13 13. he's going to do 25 damage minus your special defense times two all right so 25 minus 14 is 11 so it does 22 damage
02:10:13
Speaker
22 damage. That's a pretty big chunk. Yeah.
02:10:19
Speaker
Still
Tsunami Aftermath and Survival
02:10:20
Speaker
above half. I'm not bloody yet.
02:10:23
Speaker
and he is going to pass his bonus action because he has enough defense and i need this battle to end someday so so he is going to do nothing cause that's his turn so next up uh jake are you are you engaging in the battle oh yes or no yeah you did because yeah yeah so you're up next the won't use them won't use betronome the statue
02:10:53
Speaker
The statue, yes, the Crystal Cyndaquil. Alright, uh, yeah, suck another TNT, bitch.
02:11:00
Speaker
Oh my god, you're gonna throw another TNT? You used fairy move on me, I'm pissed.
02:11:08
Speaker
Now, before you throw out TT, I do actually want to ask something. Uh, your death, I just remembered your death. Did you react to what the, Spear was saying to you? My death, what did I say again? Wait minute.
02:11:22
Speaker
Does Disarming Voice- so like is yeah Wait need a minute. That's actually a good point. Wait, what? Disarming Voice is a sound-based move.
02:11:35
Speaker
Does it affect somebody who's deafened?
02:11:39
Speaker
Ooh, I like that logic actually. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! Well done, though. Fair point. do you like that in logic actually. ah Oh, i will it does say I need a roll for crit.
02:11:55
Speaker
6. Uh, yeah. So, okay, so... Right, so you're gonna throw another TNT. How far away is this Syndiquil? Uh, I wanna say it's like a good, like... 50 feet away from me? Like, it's a distance. It is well was out of melee range. It was out on the boat, and then it got blasted even further out to sea, so... Oh no, does that tough... It's like, not close.
02:12:22
Speaker
don't you wanna see an accuracy of like 8? You wanna see an accuracy of 8?
02:12:27
Speaker
Uh, just an accuracy of 6. It has a blast radius, so it's honestly gonna be pretty hard to miss. Even at that range. You need to hit somewhere within like a 20 foot radius of this.
02:12:40
Speaker
Hard to miss even at that distance. I wanna let you know this. You used a fairy type on me, so this is your fault that I crited on this.
02:12:53
Speaker
Did you actually crit? Oh my god. So, that's actually a... You don't... You don't bury time Walter without this... Wait, hold on.
02:13:07
Speaker
oh my god, that's max damage die plus one. That's 100 damage plus a d10. Holy crap! That's 6, so what Oh my god! 106 damage! is the move that one-shot a group of 5 dragon type Pokemon, so yes.
02:13:27
Speaker
If you crit, this one-shots group of 5. Okay, hey, hold There's 3 dragon types. Alright, yeah. Okay, do everyone want to ca- Yeah, I'm still gonna calculate defense. Uh, minus 24 bits. It does something 90. 86, 82. Oh my Okay, so...
02:13:43
Speaker
oh thank god okay so The- as you throw this t- you know i want you to describe it. How do you kill it with a standee? You hit it dead on, like impact it directly. Walter like lights it with his flame. He's like- he's like- the guy like talks to him, he's what'd you say about that? And he's gonna skip it like a rock to the- you know like just arm back and like skip it like a rock where it doesn't hit the um fuse but it just keeps twirling as it skips towards the crystal.
02:14:13
Speaker
i like that so yeah the tnt hits its mark and you just hear the biggest deafening explosion which you actually don't because i keep forgetting you're deaf so what happens is you hear nothing you see a blinding explosion which doesn't actually blind you but it's very bright cool cool guys that look an explosion just So actually something interesting happened. You see the explosion go off, but you see a secondary explosion as all of the energy contained within this crystal syndaquil also detonates, compounding into one enormous like nuclear explosion that detonates in the ocean.
02:15:01
Speaker
Suddenly, you guys are staring down a tsunami. You guys have one turn to deal with this. What do you do? ah um wait so there's c4 in the syndaquil no it was just there was energy latent energy in the syndaquil that got yeah you know um question the thing that energy does go boom that's a good thing i didn't um destroy good thing i didn't do enough damage while i was in the ship
02:15:35
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, you guys are plenty far away. Did not damage you guys. Yeah, question. Does the... Does the Spearow look better now?
02:15:43
Speaker
So, funny you say that the Spearow... Excuse me. As the explosion goes off, a couple things happen. Excuse me. Sorry. A couple things happen. Uh, the mist around Spearow dissipates and it looks normal.
02:15:59
Speaker
For a second. Long enough for... Evelyn, which I'm so fucking glad you can hear because that would have really ruined this for me. ah um So only Evelyn hears this.
02:16:13
Speaker
You hear the Spiros say, you broke the soul crystal before disintegrating into dust. Oh, It doesn't well faint. It doesn't die. It gets fucking Thanos snapped out of existence as soon as the crystal Cyndaquil vanishes.
02:16:35
Speaker
oh Oh boy.
02:16:38
Speaker
Hikaru just like surprise Pikachu face times three. And, uh, yeah, so you guys destroyed soul crystal? Question mark? What's that? I don't know. But what you do know is there's a fucking tsunami about to wreck your world.
02:16:56
Speaker
You guys have one action. Go. Okay. Okay, what do we do? Never mind, you guys can't hear. yeah did Do I have to, like... Yeah, Bruce will go and into his, uh...
02:17:10
Speaker
um what? instinctive Instinctive defensive position of Flame Wheel just coat himself in flames, make them like extremely hot, hope that he can evaporate enough water around him.
02:17:31
Speaker
But Ruz is on pure instinct right now. Okay, so we're going to Alright, so we're gonna deal with that when the water reaches you. ah Jake and Hikaru, what do you guys do?
02:17:47
Speaker
Oh boy. Maybe try to envelop myself in and Like an improvised... I'm gonna try to do like an improvised electro web, but basically using using electro ball around myself.
02:18:04
Speaker
Okay, so you're trying to create like an electrical shield around yourself. Yeah. Okay, go ahead and roll. Ooh, what's a good roll for that? Um... Hmm. looking at... Performance? What would be a good roll for it?
02:18:20
Speaker
Performance? Yeah, yeah, let's go performance. Yeah, I like that. Okay. go ahead and roll performance.
02:18:30
Speaker
It's a three. Okay, we will deal with that when the water reaches you. Jake, what do you do? Uh, well, first, so look, is there any items I got left after where you got disintegrated?
02:18:45
Speaker
ah on the Spearow? Yeah. No, the Spearow and everything, he was a part of his gun. Alright, um, alright, well, I'm just gonna jump and keep force-pumping in the air until the, um, water passes me. Okay.
02:19:02
Speaker
um I'm sorry, I can't laugh normally. Oh fucking Christ. So you're going to... excuse me You're going to up air. you you You figured out the trick last time. So you're going to up air over the tsunami. You're going to jump over the tsunami. Go ahead and roll... f What would that be? What did I have to last time? Athletics? Acrobatics.
02:19:29
Speaker
Acrobatics, yeah. Go ahead and roll acrobatics.
02:19:33
Speaker
Um, acrobatics, is that cool again? I need to start remembering everything. Cool, 20. Unnatural 20. It's written right on your paper sheet. I know, know. Unnatural 20.
02:19:47
Speaker
Oh, hell yeah. Okay. So, we're going to go in the same order. Everything was rolled in. Eli, ah you said you used fire to try and sear the water away as I hit you. Evaporate.
02:19:58
Speaker
I'm thinking, but you know, just super hot flame wheel evaporate any of the water that gets close to me. Okay, did I have you roll for that? No, you didn't. Okay, go ahead and roll performance. Roll performance.
02:20:14
Speaker
Oh,
02:20:17
Speaker
uh oh that's a nine minus one eight okay so okay so what happened i'm gonna group you and hikaru together since you both technically had fails yeah the water hits both of you guys and you guys are swept up towards shore in this tsunami like this is the most powerful thing you have ever felt this is an unstoppable force uh You guys get swept onto shore and it sweeps you upwards, not into the wall of the dock, but you guys get swept upwards and you get blasted through houses and this tsunami just keeps going for like a good three blocks before letting up. Weren't like already on the dock?
02:21:06
Speaker
Yeah. You guys were on like a pier, yeah like on the dock. Yeah, so you guys were like down lower on the water, but the town like, you know, is up on land. So you guys got lifted like up onto land and the tsunami is wrecking havoc on this town. awesome After about like three blocks of devastation, the tsunami comes to a close and you guys are fainted. You guys are just passed out for now. ah So... Woo, that could've been bad. um
02:21:38
Speaker
You guys have just been smashed around the smithereens. We will figure out what happens in a bit. um Jake, you ah you managed to jump over the tsunami.
02:21:53
Speaker
and this is honestly the most effective solution so far you've managed to jump over the over the tsunami and you see as the water passes below you this enormous like how tall are tsunamis like 100 feet
02:22:13
Speaker
Mayberry. Alright, a tsunami-sized wave. And eventually you come down. There's tons of water everywhere. So you land in water. But after the wave. So it's like the water's still moving.
02:22:26
Speaker
But like towards shore. But it's not like you got blasted by the tsunami. So you gently get swept onto shore. and you do not take any damage from the tsunami uh you see this tsunami just destroying this town and you got you do not see uh uh bruce or so interesting thing here most tsunamis hit land at less than 10 feet high extreme cases can exceed 100 feet interesting i think most of it's definitely more than a 10 feet tsunami
02:22:59
Speaker
Yeah, this is also probably because they generally like start forming on the sea floor, and this one formed from an explosion on the surface.
02:23:12
Speaker
Yeah, I definitely planned it that way. Alright, what's going to like, huh. Yeah.
02:23:23
Speaker
So you find yourself, ah you like, uh, gain your senses back, you're able to stand up as the water washes away. You are in the middle of like the first block of destroyed houses. if You're in the debris of a destroyed house.
02:23:39
Speaker
Walter's like, huh. As he's gonna like, he's gonna put his hands like in his non-existent pockets and just start walking and looking for the group. Like, oh boy, ooh.
02:23:52
Speaker
He's like, oh my god, what happened?
02:23:56
Speaker
So, as you get up and start walking around, you just see this devastation. um o ah Go ahead and roll me per perception.
02:24:09
Speaker
See how much you how much of this destruction you notice. That's a 10. A 10, okay. stepped in as' a ten
02:24:21
Speaker
okay So, pretty much everything's destroyed. ah One thing you notice is there are a lot of... There were people near the dock.
02:24:33
Speaker
And when this devastation hit, you see a lot of what you presume are fainted Pokemon around. ah You see a lot of the dock workers that were there are unconscious on the ground, unsure if they're dead or not.
02:24:47
Speaker
You do not see Hikaru or Bruce.
02:24:52
Speaker
um i just had a funny idea if i just kept returning all of them but no um if you kept what if i just returned them all and they just kept falling into the into the um flame how the flame um flames um oh that badge them away all of the faded people away would that be would be kidnapping um Yeah, probably. Walter is gonna like, he'll not help the adults, but if there's like a person with a kid, he'll help.
02:25:25
Speaker
Uh, sure. Let's say there's, um, what's a good baby Pokemon? Cleffa. Besides the real, though. Um, what was it? Cleffa. Cleffa, yeah, yeah, there's a Cleffa, like, near a Cleffa.
02:25:41
Speaker
You can see that it was, uh, uh, no, no, I'm gonna say, okay, so there's a Cleffa, um, that is passed out, and there is a Cleffa shaking the body of the Cleffa. It's clearly a kid trying to wake the, uh, unconscious parent. He'll run up you like, hold on, kid, I got this, as he'll give the, um, reviver seat to the parent.
02:26:02
Speaker
Okay, uh, I'm gonna try and avoid having to do a voice for the Clefah, because- Just use your voice. I'm still getting more strict. I cannot do high-pitched voices. It's Dakota the Clefairy.
02:26:16
Speaker
it Yes, hello, it is I, the Clefah. i So you give the Clefairy a Reviver Seed.
02:26:28
Speaker
uh or you you give the clef the one that's knocked out the parent to help so the kid can okay i didn't know if you handed it to the clef okay um so you try administering this uh clefairy a reviver seed um it's not doing anything what the um
02:26:52
Speaker
ah and That explains it, otherwise the- my- Hikaru and Bruce's, um, seed would pop. Yeah, it was about to ask about that. What happens with the- the reviver seeds that Hikaru and Bruce have in their bags?
02:27:08
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, do you guys have reviver seeds? I have too. I have a tiny reviver seed. okay okay so i'm gonna say you guys get passed out as you guys are like barreling through those houses and stuff after like a minute or two your guys's reviver seeds will activate and you guys revive from the dead and uh you you guys are well i've said you guys are like three blocks down yeah you can finish with this the devastation Uh, yeah, so you guys are alive, but yes, let's finish with Jake. Walter's gonna, like, try to pick up it and like, alright, kid, we'll find a hospital, don't worry.
02:27:49
Speaker
Okay, so you're just taking this Cleffa with you? Cleffa's, like, riding on your back. That's cute. I like that. That is Walter, that is the one way you ever would get to Walter is with a kid. Okay, so, um, let's say the hospital's on...
02:28:08
Speaker
I don't think he would know where the hospital is. ah So you're looking for a hospital? um That or any first responders.
02:28:19
Speaker
Ooh, that's a good point. I'm gonna say, yeah, yeah. So with this destruction, it brings the attention of a lot of people from the safe side of town. And you see a like a bunch of Pokemon. There's like a Salamence marching down the road.
02:28:35
Speaker
There's Blaziken sprinting towards the destruction. There are people showing up to give help or see the destruction. Help, there's a lot of people not ah down on the coast.
02:28:48
Speaker
They hear you yell that and they start running toward past you like towards the unconscious bodies. Okay, not the one I'm carrying, okay. Alright, I'll take it. like Is there like a um station they're set up with for um victims?
02:29:05
Speaker
ah Not yet, as the destruction just happened. So there's not look a dedicated station set up. He'll ask where the hospital is. He'll yell, like, where's the hospital for him? Uh, yeah, a crab- I don't want big Pokemon, but a crab-bominable shows up. He's like, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, hospital, hospital. Uh, for this little girl, a- For the parent, too. For the parent, too. I'm carrying the parent as well.
02:29:32
Speaker
oh where's- where's the parent here? I'll- I'll help out. Where- where's this parent? I'm holding them. I said I'm carrying the parent, and then you- Oh, you're carrying both. Yeah. Oh, I thought you were just carrying the club your back. No, carrying both. I'm not gonna separate a kid from its parent.
02:29:47
Speaker
Okay, okay, so he sees you carrying both of them he's like, oh, okay. Hospital, technically, is on the other side of town. What happened here? I don't know. One of the... You know that Spearow guy?
02:29:59
Speaker
The Spearow captain?
02:30:03
Speaker
are you talking about ah Captain Jack? Yeah, I don't know. His ship blew up. His ship blew up? What, was he carrying me like a fucking payload of dynamite or something? I don't know. it just blew up.
02:30:16
Speaker
it was it was weird it was alt some shadow things was happening some tangles are happening like this some weird things are going on in shipping and then it just blew up for no reason yeah that's a bit above my pay grade you want me to send you over to the cops explain stuff to them you can take the kid
02:30:38
Speaker
Uh, yeah, I'll take what the hospital. Uh, by the way, the hospital's over on the other side. It's, it's, uh, not near here, so. we I'll, I'll rush him over to the hospital. Oh, if you see a Pikachu or a, um, Cyndaquil, tell them I went to the hospital.
Explaining the Chaos to Authorities
02:30:53
Speaker
They're my friends and I can't find them.
02:30:56
Speaker
Uh, alrighty, then if they were caught up in this and, uh, you're heading to the hospital, you're heading away from them, so. You won't see head to the police right now.
02:31:07
Speaker
You want to talk to the police? The police are showing up. I'll go talk to the police and like get and like give the kid and like the the parent to someone else. yeah ah yeah He'll you'll go to the cops. a Time to get the story straight.
02:31:23
Speaker
Okay, so there's an Arcanine showing up and there's a Stoutland. I'm going to say they have like little badges on their chest or something. So they see you, you're clearly like a witness to what happened. It's like, hey there, citizen. Can you tell us what happened here? oh This is the Stoutland talking.
02:31:42
Speaker
Shut up, shut up, for shut up, Eli.
02:31:46
Speaker
Yes, I'll be posting it for every time. He's all right, he's like, right. we We're in the dock and we were um going to a ship because we wanted like a charter to the town, to another town.
02:31:57
Speaker
And then this, you know, the Spearow, Captain Spearow, Captain Sparrow, Yeah, Captain Jack usually what we call him. He's a bit of a troublemaker. Believe it, we're familiar. What happened? well We got there and he was like super weird. it looked like he had shadows on him or he just painted himself black.
02:32:16
Speaker
i don't know. Oh, shadows. Yeah, he's doing blackface. yeah He like cocks his head and he was like, okay, is this some like psychic type stuff? for oh We don't know. all we We got there and then he started like He started attacking people in the dock, and then next time we know, his ship blows up for no reason. And then ah tsunami, and I only got out of it because I mean i can force palm and like project myself up.
02:32:44
Speaker
Wait, so you're telling me Okay, okay. So, what I'm getting at is you were talking to him, and he was acting funny, and his ship exploded. Well, we weren't... Am I getting it right? Well, you tried talking him, but then he just started attacking us and other people in the dock.
02:33:02
Speaker
Do you believe she was carrying any kind of weaponry on board? ah I guess he had to if it blew up. Okay, okay. He's like writing on a notepad. I've seen criminals use TNT, which is so devastating and awful to use, but that seems so much stronger.
02:33:26
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Do you know of any other witnesses that have seen the devastation? My friends, but I can't find them. I was able to dodge them, but they got hit by the big wave. And what are your friends? um is One is a Bruce, and he's a Cyndaquil, and when a Hikaru, and she's a Pikachu.
02:33:44
Speaker
Alright, one's a Bruce, and one's a Hikaru. Got it. I don't...
02:33:49
Speaker
it Yeah, picked up one. You're pissing me off, man. You're pissing me off.
02:33:59
Speaker
We may need another explosion. Okay. Okay. Right. So, okay. I will keep an eye out. Is there any way I can contact you?
02:34:11
Speaker
ah Do you have a mailing address I can send you send a letter to? Flame... How you say it? I can't remember the last name. It's been so long. Flameback? Yeah, Flameback Residence. I work there. It hasn't been that long. I work there.
02:34:25
Speaker
i i used to work down. with I'm on vacation. Alright, if we ever get a note of a Cyndaquil and a Pikachu named Bruce and Kiharu, we'll send notice for you and you can come check them out.
02:34:40
Speaker
Thank you. Alright. Appreciate your time. I'm gonna go look my for my friends.
02:34:49
Speaker
Okay, ah so it with this, I'm gonna cut over to Hikaru and Bruce. You guys wake up pretty much next to each other. I'm gonna say at the same time for a convenience site.
02:35:01
Speaker
Oh, what happened?
02:35:07
Speaker
So Hikaru just like... Bruce, you're still deaf. Oh. Oh. Hikaru just like... Well, yeah if you're deaf, you can still talk. yeah You'll just be shouting.
02:35:18
Speaker
mean And Hikaru does not know that Bruce is down. Hikaru has spits it out like water in her mouth and she she opens her
02:35:35
Speaker
and she's like and she just like spits it out like She just like blows the water out of her mouth, you know what? um yeah As she's like lying there.
02:35:48
Speaker
um And then she and then she like slowly sits up and and like shakes her head really rapidly to like back and forth to like um sort of shake out all the tiredness or whatever.
02:36:04
Speaker
um Basically, she's acting like a cartoon character that just woke up. from coma or something.
02:36:15
Speaker
um and And she turns around and she sees Bruce and and she says, Bruce, are you all right?
02:36:29
Speaker
i So that's going to be really hard to explain on an audio medium. But Bruce does like the, um like points at his ears and does like that the slashing motion, like with his hands being like, a no can hear.
02:36:54
Speaker
the Okay, you're deaf. You didn't turn into a caveman. No, like, don't talk. Me can't hear. Me can't hear, dude. Like, he's not gonna say anything because he's deaf and cu doesn't know what Hikaru saying.
02:37:13
Speaker
Me not think good. Oh, okay. Can he not, like, read lips? I don't think it's a common skill. That's a lot harder than you think it is. I can't read lips, so I'm going to say Bruce can't read lips.
02:37:26
Speaker
Okay. If it was a common skill, that'd be so much easier for blind deaf people. That'd be so much easier for anyone, because I could just hear what anyone's saying in a crowded space. Yeah.
02:37:38
Speaker
That'd be very handy skill, actually. It is an incredibly handy skill. I'm not sure how exactly one learns it, though. Uh, you learn the lip language, obviously. It's how you read the lip.
02:37:52
Speaker
yeah Yes. Okay. So... Okay. And then Hikaru starts, like, flapping her...
Hospital Arrival and Challenges
02:38:03
Speaker
wait Wait a second. You can't hear me, can you?
02:38:07
Speaker
how many How many fingers am I holding up? She holds up, like, four fingers.
02:38:13
Speaker
Four? Four?
02:38:15
Speaker
Okay, uh... Also holds up four- Bruce also holds up four fingers? Okay. It's like talking E.T. It's like when you do the finger, like, circling things for the E.T.
02:38:29
Speaker
Hey, wait a minute. Bruce doesn't have fingers. has a nub. Shh. He doesn't have fingers? Wait, hold on. That's true, wait. Pikachu's also only have three fingers on each hand, I think. No, I'm pretty sure. let me see.
02:38:45
Speaker
Four. I mean, she can hold up multiple hands. I think we actually have five. He just holds up all his limbs. He just rolls on his back. Let's have both four paws. I wish I could laugh normally. This is painful. It's... Oh no!
02:39:07
Speaker
Okay. think there's an artist that gave Cyndaquil hands? With fingers? I don't know. oh Oh no, I don't wish to see that. Okay. But Pikachu has five fingers on each hand.
02:39:22
Speaker
Really? yeah no there you go Okay. i click so
02:39:31
Speaker
One is a Bruce.
02:39:35
Speaker
Just reading off the Discord. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. So just to be absolutely clear, you can't hear me, right?
02:39:50
Speaker
He puts his hands up and like shrugs like, e kiss I don't know what you're saying.
02:40:02
Speaker
you're You're sure? you you're You're absolutely sure you can't hear me, right? You're sure? Is this how the first deaf person got talked to? so is ah ju Okay. Bruce is trying to come up with any other ways that he can convey the fact that he is currently deaf.
02:40:27
Speaker
P.O.P., the person that invented TNT talks to someone else. okay okay i'm gonna have to get we have to get you to a hospital or pokemon center or whatever the fuck they have here wait a minute how was walter talking to the policemen
02:40:47
Speaker
good question i'm supposed to request food listen it's not a common skill but stay walter knows how to read lips apparently Apparently Walter knows how to read lips. Okay.
02:41:01
Speaker
It's not a common skill. Definitely not. Both of us are getting that he's dead. It's not a cop-out. No. No, it's not. His ears popped when he went so high in the air.
02:41:13
Speaker
I feel like I say that Walter can read lips, it's going to come back to bite me in the ass. feel like the more likely explanation is some aura shenanigans. Let Walter know how to read lips.
02:41:32
Speaker
Suddenly, Walter notices that his health is at full. Isn't that crazy? Oh. We're just going to chalk it down to DMing errors. Nah, Walter can read lips. Yeah. Nah, I don't feel like giving you extra power right now.
02:41:49
Speaker
So Hikaru starts like like signing in an improvised sign language. Like she starts pointing, okay, follow, she says she's like, follow me to hospital. and And she's like holding up her hands like, house.
02:42:08
Speaker
How do you make a house? Like, like- It's like her house shaped fingers, obviously. go like a triangle and then down. Is this 20 questions? if i all so I have an idea, I i don't want to make you guys do this, but i just want put this out there. I so want Hikaru just to message in the Discord using only emojis.
02:42:31
Speaker
you get to Please! And don't put just a house emoji. but we can't do that on an audio platform, I'm so sorry.
02:42:41
Speaker
I mean, we do know from the anime that Pikachu is incredibly good at impressions. So... Yes. You could just, like, make a nurse's hat with your ears.
02:42:56
Speaker
So it turns out that this actually is the sign for house in American Sign Language. It's just, you go like... It is literally just house. Yeah. and the Like, that's a that is exactly the side the gesture. But does does Bruce know sign language? which doing
02:43:12
Speaker
And then she points, like, she points behind her, like, with her finger, with her thumb, goes like...
02:43:19
Speaker
Go, go. We have to go way. This way. Hospital. Just drag him. All right. And then she, like, reaches out her her hand and says, points to her hand and be like, hold hold my hand. Hold it.
02:43:36
Speaker
Come with me.
02:43:39
Speaker
Bruce will nod and then start nodding. i yeah Just start following after Hikaru, but not holding her hand. Fair enough.
02:43:51
Speaker
Okay. Wow. And then... but They're not that close yet. Man is one of... Man ain't homie. Totally. Totally valid. all Alright, so then Hikaru starts like walk navigating the navigating the crowd of the the street where like it seems like there's puddles everywhere.
02:44:14
Speaker
And there's washed water on all the dirt. There's probably foot of water still on streets. A foot of water? Hikaru's like one foot four. post It's like up there. right After tsunamis, it's flooded for a while.
02:44:29
Speaker
Okay, it's like is maybe... okay but how about this? They're on they're on like the sidewalk, which is somehow not flooded, so it's like maybe three inches of side... There's been tsunamis where... There's been a tsunami where it's been like five feet flooded for bit.
02:44:47
Speaker
I'm not gonna make it inconvenient for you guys to get around, so I will say there's like two inches of water on the ground. Yeah, okay. sure So we're just in the water, and then, so we're just like, we're trying, we're like, it's up to like, it's like up to her belly button, basically.
02:45:05
Speaker
but said two inches, not eight. It's up to our knees. Yeah, okay, it's it's up to... okay fine, it's up to... We're wading in it, that's all.
02:45:15
Speaker
Yeah. yeah And... um So she just like... So we're both just like sploshing splashing water, splashing as we walk through.
02:45:29
Speaker
um and um and i guess like the how are the traffic lights are there are there traffic lights there's no cars not anymore no okay not even like walk signs but there's no cars there's no need for traffic bla oh yeah wait minute yeah there's no cars okay listening it's all for the big po the big pokemon
02:45:57
Speaker
okay so hikaru looks around for so hikaru looks around for anybody who might be able to give directions like a cop or something uh sure there's a blaziken like uh helping an injured um fampy on the ground so she so she walks over excuse me excuse me sir mr blaziken ah yeah Yeah, hi, how? hi Do you need help? Are you injured? Were you part of this disaster? ah
02:46:30
Speaker
Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah, I was... I chugged a bunch of ocean I got a mouthful of...
02:46:38
Speaker
um not a mouthful of and I think she's saying that's the cause of the tsunami. i i mean i got so i mean i got a face full of water when that' when the tsunami hit me and I just passed out.
02:46:57
Speaker
Alright, and you two can walk yourselves. The hospital, if you he like gives you directions. It's down this it's down that road. He points down the road. If you take a ride at so-and-so street, you'll get to the hospital. It's pretty clearly marked. It should be undamaged.
02:47:13
Speaker
ah Thank you. so So-and-so street, then? Yes. Okay. Yep, that's right. Alright. Oh, and which cross street? ah This way.
02:47:27
Speaker
Okay, so... It's at the intersection of this way and so-and-so street. Nice. Alright, so... So... This way and so-and-so street, okay. um bru And then she turns toward toward Bruce and goes like, Okay, follow me.
02:47:49
Speaker
With her hands. Okay, yeah. Bruce will nod
02:47:58
Speaker
So we go towards, um we we we're walking down, I think, what what like street are we on now? This way.
02:48:08
Speaker
This way. We are this way. guys are turning right at the intersection of this way and so and so. So you've got it. You go down the road and eventually you come across the street sign that says so and so.
02:48:21
Speaker
Alright. Okay. So then she walks into the so she walks into the hospital door with Bruce right behind her.
02:48:37
Speaker
And is there like is there water inside the hospital too? No, the hospital is far away from where the incident occurred. So, hospital is nice and dry, but it is packed.
02:48:51
Speaker
There's a lot of people. You see a Crabominable with Clefairy and Clef getting checked in at the front desk. And there's a line at the reception. o Do they see the person sent? Oh, there's a whole line here. Okay.
02:49:06
Speaker
Yeah, that's the problem with the Clefury. Yeah, I literally said... Yeah, know, I just passed my mind. Okay.
02:49:17
Speaker
Hikaru barely notices them from the crowds. um Okay. So... So, is there, like, a line to the reception desk? Is there a waiting room? There's a line to the reception desk. The waiting room is completely packed. There's a lot, a lot of people being checked into the hospital right now. my gosh.
02:49:40
Speaker
Um, are we... and then...
02:49:48
Speaker
i wonder if there's like another hospital that's less crowded. But looks like we're not going to be seen for like an hour, probably.
02:50:01
Speaker
I mean, i'm I'm willing to let you guys just wait it out. I just had the place packed as a flavor text. You guys can just wait it out. We can just... Hikaru's, like, soaking soaking wet, so she better, like, just dry off somewhere. You do not want be by an electric Pokemon when they try to dry off.
02:50:20
Speaker
What? I mean, well, you know there's the classic just shake the whole body. black go ahead. Shake yourself like a dog. shake yourself Yeah, shake yourself dry in this crowded room.
02:50:34
Speaker
Oh, yeah. ah Well, is there a bathroom? Yeah, there's a crowded room. Sure, sure, there's a bathroom. Okay. The drying bathroom. Yeah, the drying bathroom. so So she looks for the bathroom.
02:50:46
Speaker
And is let me guess, it's also crowded. uh there's a few people there i don't see a reason for it to be over yeah they're all sha the the line doesn't go into the ball shaking the dry off
02:51:00
Speaker
uh i guess we i guess bruce and i both need to dry off do we go into the same one You can do whatever you want. this is stuff this is Bruce has been slowly just like moving his flight like moving his flames as much around his body as he can to dry his fur.
02:51:22
Speaker
Just on the walk. So I want to say Bruce is mostly dry by now. Mostly dry, okay. I like that. okay Perks of being a fire type and all.
02:51:34
Speaker
Yep. Hmm. What am I gonna do? Um... I mean, bru bru Bruce at this point is just gonna look at the line for the reception and go, like, sit in a chair in the waiting room.
02:51:52
Speaker
Okay. Yep. So Hikaru somehow dries off in the bathroom. Okay. And suddenly there's no more paper towels. No.
Hearing Recovery and Communication Issues
02:52:08
Speaker
classic public bathroom no paper towels there's suddenly no there's no paper towels okay um is no i was insinuating that you i was insinuating that you used all the paper towels to dry yourself like the electric hand dryer thing just you used all the electric no i'm kidding all
02:52:30
Speaker
like a blow dryer
02:52:34
Speaker
anyway sorry ah just love idea of using an entire power plant like just to dry i have electricity you know yeah she can power the dryer herself if she needed Sorry, i'm just like im imagine it's like all the sudden just rawr the bathroom is just like the the fucking temperature of the Sun for a split second
02:53:07
Speaker
and Just put it put it in the dryer okay okay You're dry at this point. For some reason, and there's one of those towel dryers at the but like at the gym where you put your bathing suit and towel it and just many clothes dryer. She just hops in there.
02:53:31
Speaker
I just get, like, shaking around and stuff. Yeah. Okay. So... Excuse me. all Alright. So, after some time passes, the reception line goes down. well I mean, the reception doesn't go down, but you guys move forward. There's plenty of people behind you as well.
02:53:51
Speaker
As you guys get to the front, there's a Blissey. And she's like, oh, hi there. How can I help you? Hi. Um... So... um So this one lost his hearing in the blast.
02:54:05
Speaker
Oh, like full deafness. Yeah, like he can't hear me. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. Has my hearing been coming back at all over time? No.
02:54:16
Speaker
No, but it's it's fine. The Clefairy's like, oh, that's that's an easy fix. Here, just you don't even need a doctor for that. She like runs into the back and comes out.
02:54:27
Speaker
What's the ah paralyzed berry? I forget what that's called. Oh, it's a cherry berry. ter So you mean, you said you're a cherry berry. yeah ah If that's not what I said, then yes.
02:54:39
Speaker
yeah the Blissey. yeah Oh, I said Chansey, didn't I? Yeah, the Clefairy comes back. Is that Clefairy? Whoops. You know that Clefairy that died or passed out or whatever? He said Blissey the first time and then said Chansey went to your get the berry and now he's back to Blissey again.
02:54:58
Speaker
okay yeah it's a blissey the blissey comes back with a cherry berry and is like uh give him this it should it's not exactly paralysis but it it heals in the same way okay thank you and then she just gives the cherry berry to bruce and but bruce will eat it okay wasn't expecting this to help but sure It's an easy fix, I'm not gonna have you guys stay in hospital for five days. so
02:55:29
Speaker
ah You feel your healing come back as your ears start to like pop and reconfigure. It's not quite painful, but it's an interesting sensation. And suddenly you can hear again as you have just regrown new year drums, I guess.
02:55:43
Speaker
Yeah, and I imagine it's like feeling your ears pop from an airplane for the first time. like Yeah, sure. 10,000 Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, you reminded me of the time because I used to live at a different elevation from my work. So every time I would go down the mountain when I was in Washington State, my ears would pop like every single day to and from work.
02:56:14
Speaker
All right. Right. So a now you guys have your next objective. Where the hell is Walter? Good question. First, Bruce is going to oh, thanks, Hikaru, for helping me get my hearing back.
02:56:35
Speaker
You're welcome.
02:56:40
Speaker
Uh, can't now and lets you go through life without being able to hear my music.
02:56:48
Speaker
Uh, yeah. oop Any idea where Walter might be?
02:56:56
Speaker
have no idea. did Did he get washed up too? Just look for the explosions! i for it Just follow the trail of explosions. I sure would imagine.
02:57:11
Speaker
You'd see multiple explosions at a night in this way. my god. Can you imagine, Walters is like the ultimate terrorist. He's just walking down the street, just tossing a trail of bombs. Little do you know, me and the octopus have been working together.
02:57:27
Speaker
willlay the octopus? yeah Oh, Vickers. and Yeah, Vickers, the artillery. Wait, let me page him. Uh... Oh, yeah, that's true. We do have GPA phones.
02:57:40
Speaker
Yeah. So... you so yeah You pull out your GPA and it is not turning on. I'm sorry. that You don't have the waterproof version yet.
02:57:55
Speaker
Oh, no. Yeah, that's right. I don't think we have waterproof... GBA is made yet. We haven't found a way to do that just yet. Would water types be offended or love the fact that water um water im immune electronics exist? Would they be happy or sad? Why would they be sad? That just sounds like a benefit. I can make calls underwater? That sounds amazing. yeah i never i never would trust it.
02:58:29
Speaker
You might not trust it, but it's still a benefit. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, so are we like... Am I fully healed? Uh, sure. It's after battle. You guys can be fully healed. Okay. Okay, cool.
02:58:45
Speaker
Yeah. I don't see you guys having a battle anytime soon unless you want to just rough up the nearest civilian for whatever reason. So, yeah, you guys should be fine. Look at me funny.
02:58:56
Speaker
That Clefairy has it coming. yeah I got the type advantage on him. I could use some extra experience on him for no reason. Just beat up a fucking like a disaster relief helper. This is what you give to helping that kid.
02:59:18
Speaker
Let me give you a piece of mine. Alright. alright but Hey, you brought up beating on some random civilian. I did, I know.
02:59:31
Speaker
Okay, um... So... Ugh. Shit, this thing is... This thing won't turn on. How are we gonna... How how are we even gonna contact your mom?
02:59:48
Speaker
Uh... We try something. Uh... But Roos is gonna pull out his GBA and like, um, check it to like, like, see where exactly the water damage is. Uh, and I will also remind you, you can't contact his mom. Because she is kidnapped.
03:00:13
Speaker
Uh. Oh. Yeah, that's the whole reason you guys are on this escapade. Right. Oh, right. Right. How are we gonna contact anybody? Yeah, that does... Do need, like, letters? Yeah. i mean, the Fair Wolf is gonna get damaged. Yeah, so Bruce, go ahead roll investigation on the GBA. Okay.
03:00:39
Speaker
These dice are not being nice to me today. That's a three. Uh, well, you do notice one thing. Uh, the water got all over the GBA.
03:00:52
Speaker
So that's helpful. Alright, so Rude's gonna try something else here. He's gonna try to open up the GBA. Sure, it's just held in with three screws, you know, classic tri-wing screws. Do you have the screwdriver? I don't remember, does the GBA have tri-wing screws?
03:01:10
Speaker
Or was that after or before tri-wings were? It's one of those annoying type like screws that you need a very specific screwdriver for. I actually have a tri-wing fucking screwdriver. Because I actually have repair my old consoles, so... Does Bruce have that? actually have one of those. Does Bruce have screwdriver? No, but I'm gonna say, like, don't know, just fucking fingernail. I don't care. You can open the GBA. He uses his nub. He uses his nub. His Y-shaped nub, you know? I mean...
03:01:50
Speaker
He's got tools. You know, I just didn't want to make it difficult for you to open the GBA, but if you want to find a creative way to do it, you can. i How does they send a Syndical use a screwdriver? Don't worry about it.
03:02:06
Speaker
You gotta use both your dobes together. The same way a Tyflution designed the GBA. Uh, yeah. With magic, obviously.
03:02:19
Speaker
This thing's just held together by the floors. It's held together by pure fire type power. yeah ho We're able to open it because we're fire types.
03:02:31
Speaker
It's like one of those like gates from Skylanders. It only opens up if you're the right type. so For a fire type, it just magically unveils. Oh yeah, since you're fire type, can you like dry it off by holding it close to your flame? yep That's kind of the plan.
03:02:49
Speaker
ah But you forgot the rice. You don't have any rice. yeah yeah I don't know if... I thought about rice, but I'm like, we don't really do believe rice in this world.
03:03:02
Speaker
mean, rice is a vegetable. I don't see anything against that. Wait, hold on. Can we maybe can we just like give our GBAs to the hospital staff and see if they can treat them?
03:03:14
Speaker
To treat them? is that To treat them? I don't think they're going to prioritize your GPA over the countless injured people. ah Yeah, I don't think our GPAs have rotoms in them. I don't think that... I don't think they take priority.
03:03:35
Speaker
I thought you were going to say see if someone could repair them, but can I treat them? They're not biological. Mmm yes the heart that is pumping blood through this machine is faulty. I just need to give it a yeah get do do the uh whatever leave the egg thing uh soft boiled I just need to use soft boiled on this GBA and it'll be just fine.
03:04:04
Speaker
Oh yes, I see the issue here. Your GPA, it needs a lobotomy. Let me go get to my finest ice picks. Oh, Jesus.
03:04:20
Speaker
We're gonna to take these to like repair shop or something. I mean...
03:04:29
Speaker
i assume Bruce knows something about... how they were made, what what the design thing is these. Well, you were able to take it apart. Wait a sec. you can see that the batteries in the back...
03:04:46
Speaker
ah The obvious thing is the batteries are shorted out, the batteries are toasted and done for. Okay, that's what I've said. But yes, there is water all over it. You don't see any signs of immediate damage other than the batteries are completely fried. and Okay, so yeah, Bruce is gonna like dump out the water first and foremost, and then like just...
03:05:09
Speaker
kick carefully like hold it over his flames to dry it the rest of the way and then yeah uh after some time it dries out and then he's gonna take out the the fried battery uh to there may maybe have hikaru take out the shorted battery just in case there's some like lingering electricity from the shortage any electrical danger there if there's any electrical danger what's that exactly you're a pikachu you don't need to worry about that yeah in fact like if there's any if there's any static buildup inside the inside of the device let me just she just puts her hand all over it and like discharges into her body
03:06:03
Speaker
and all the capacitors are discharged. it's yeah Once you take the batteries out, I'm going to consider it non-volatile. We just need to get new batteries for them, I think.
03:06:15
Speaker
Is it just the batteries? I hope it's just the batteries. It should just be the batteries. there's The main thing that would get water damage to that quickly.
03:06:28
Speaker
Where can we get replacement batteries? That's good question. do Do they sell them in the shop, is it? In the hospital gift shop? No, what? I'm assuming we can leave the hospital now. It's like but the regular shops around
Reuniting and Episode Wrap-Up
03:06:48
Speaker
town. You have no idea. Hey, hospital gift shops have some weird things. You'll find a lot of things there. oh I love that. The hospital gift shop. It's just I heart hospital. I heart is like hospital. easter
03:07:06
Speaker
Hey, that's what happens when it's not a government-funded building. They gotta make their money somehow. Oh, boy. Trying to come up with, like, Radio Shack funds. um Yeah, I like that. Jake su suggested in the private chat Radio Snack, which I like. Alright, are you guys gonna go look for a Radio Shack? Yeah, think so.
03:07:30
Speaker
Okay. Alright, so as you guys are walking out, you accidentally bump into a Pokemon. And suddenly, letters go flying as you realize you have bumped into an Emolga. And i got her I gotta remember this after I looked this up. What's the Melcaria Emolga's name? I forgot.

Oh, yeah. um Yeah, I was I got my hearing back by eating a cherry berry.
03:13:17
Speaker
And they have them at the hospital. no But the hospital is hella crowded. Yeah, I figure it might be easier for him to get a cherry berry from a shop than going into the hospital for it.
03:13:31
Speaker
Fair enough! Who knows? who yeah but We'll just we'll leave that up to him. How he gets the cherry berry can be up to him. And there you go. The, uh... The Riser of Melcaria Molga takes her ladder and rolls it up is like, Alright, uh, I'll be back in a minute.
03:13:49
Speaker
Uh, well, I mean, i won't be back. I'm ah dropping those letters off and I'm out of here, but... Uh, I will get this ladder delivered and I will see you guys around. She, like, salutes you and heads out of the building.
03:14:00
Speaker
Or at least she tries to, because she walks up to the door, and she notices that Walter is standing at the door, and she's like, Oh hey, I've got a letter for you! And she hands out a letter. And Walter is there, he's a fireman carrying a Wobbuffet over his back to the hospital.
03:14:21
Speaker
Wobbuffet? Jeez. Very big Pokemon. I really need to cancel the subscription.
03:14:32
Speaker
Oh, it's not a letter, it's a letter from your friends here. Wait. She like gestures over to Bruce and Hikaru.
03:14:40
Speaker
Okay, um... He's gonna like, hold on, hold on home in one second, or a second. He's gonna like, put the Wobbuffet down. Read the note, like, okay, okay, okay.
03:14:52
Speaker
Right back. Okay. And give it back to the Remoka. You don't give the letter back to the mail carriers? That's not how that worked. Yeah, Horizen's like, i what do you want me to do with this? This isn't mine. now He scribbles out what they said, and right, what he said is like, all right, now give this to them.
03:15:13
Speaker
Okay, so she takes the letter, and hand she turns around, not even moving, hands it to Hikaru, and what does the letter say, Jake? Okay.
03:15:31
Speaker
Alright. So, yeah, you guys are reunited because Walter was helping out with the rescue. He ended up at the hospital eventually, which is a... feel like it's good conclusion of that, so... Right, so are you guys heading out to the radio snack, then?
03:15:51
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Wow, guys, that's a weird accent. Who knows what happened? Okay.
03:16:02
Speaker
Alright, as you guys are heading out of the hospital, that is where we're gonna end this episode. I'm going to end this episode 40 minutes sooner. I'm so sorry guys. So this I'm pretty sure after I stitched these two recordings together, this is going to be like a three hour episode. Because our previous recording was two hours and 32 seconds. And this one's just under two hours. We're a month late, but this is gonna be a chunky episode.
03:16:26
Speaker
yeah I know, it's been so tough. with I'm sure I'm gonna say it in the ah in the little lift thing I'm gonna put between these two recordings, but yeah. I've been fuckin' sick for a week and a half now. We had 4th of July happen, recording's been nearly impossible for them And then we got America getting destroyed ah by getting in soccer.
03:16:50
Speaker
oh yeah forgot the world caps going on anyway we're trying to end the episode uh all right i have been dakota your sick pm dmgm only for the second yeah only for the second half the first half i recorded a month ago and i was still fine i've been evelyn also recovering from a cold playing car i've been eli not sick at all playing bruce I've been Walter playing, blah, been Jake playing Walter.
03:17:24
Speaker
He's lost himself. He's lost himself. He is the character now. That's method acting at its finest. Alright, alright we will see you guys next time. Thank you guys for listening.
03:17:39
Speaker
Hey guys, it's Dakota. Thanks for sticking around for this- what is this? 3 hours and seventeen eighteen after this end section long episode? This is the longest episode we've ever recorded, and that's because this is technically two episodes in one.
03:17:56
Speaker
ah i know it's been a month since we've uploaded. If you listen to the little middle section I had there, it explains why 4th of July being sick and whatnot, so... Hopefully ah there wasn't too much of a burden, hopefully this extra extra long episode makes up for it. so ah With that being said, I hope we're back to our regular recording schedule. I keep saying that, but recording has been so incredibly tough with things going on, so we will get it to you when we can, sorry.
03:18:26
Speaker
ah With that being said, I also want to address the ah botting attacks that we've had in the Discord server recently. Um, if you were affected by that, we're terribly sorry. We have already put in extra security measures to prevent that, and so far they seem to have worked. So, if you're curious about that, uh, I think it was July 2nd, we started getting a bunch of bot attacks that would at everyone in the server in every single channel.
03:18:51
Speaker
When we disabled the at everyone, um the ability to use at everyone in discord, ah a bot came on and started spamming screenshots. I never did see what was on those screenshots. If anyone has if anyone knows what that is, let me know in the discord. But ah basically we added a role that's called temp verification required. If if you join the server and your account looks like a bot, like it was created two days ago, or it has no activity, it has no profile picture or anything that. Like if it's obviously a bot,
03:19:26
Speaker
Then we'll give you that rule. And I'm pretty sure bots cannot respond in DMs, so all you have to do is we will message out, we will reach out to you, and if you can just respond to something we say in your DMs, we will remove the rule. What the rule does is it removes all permissions, period, in the Discord server. So if we see some ah a if we see a user that looks like a bot, we can remove all of their permissions immediately without banning them.
03:19:53
Speaker
And if it is found to be bot, then we do ban them. so ah But it's pretty obvious who's a user and who's not. So it shouldn't be an issue. ah But with that being said, hopefully this ah takes care of that and so forth has because the bot attacks have stopped ever since we've done that. And we've actually caught a couple extra bots since then.
03:20:14
Speaker
And we have not had any more botting attacks. But with that being said, I have a lot of music to go over this sub episode. We're three hours of worth of background music. So with that being said, go check out the Discord down below.
03:20:26
Speaker
We also have our Patreon, which don't think we ever really upload to anymore. But it is what pays for all of our Zencaster subscription everything. this is a uh entirely funded by patreon show so it is it is either comes out of patreon or comes out of my bank account so uh anything you give us helps immensely with that being said the music for this episode is flow roma town night littleton town i preach that's supposed little root town birch pokemon lab the gatekeeper doford town toad town
