I wonder how hard is rocket training when compaired to regular ranger training.

>>28458817
dump professor. Dump. DUMP. I want to read. I NEED to read.

Since we have a single point of XP left should we spend it?

The lyrics are actually pretty appropriate.

First day of training you were introduced to the Rocket method, a mesh of training ranging from amphibious preparatory combat that you had been so used to. Over to weighted runs that the pewters would do that you were in fact not, and full body calisthenics that the veridian pride themselves on, with more to come in the future.
This was all to be the best though, and you couldn't bring yourself to fail.

Kitty told everyone from that day that training would be hard, and that you'd all be given chances and the assistance you all need to improve. However all recruits are allowed to drop the Rocket program at any time to return to standard ranger training should it prove too difficult.

Bruise of course, was unphased. Goldenrod though? He appeared a little worried, though he hid it well.

Between the other recruits, you could tell who had been there longer.

Devon could keep up with the training like a pro, not as well as Kitty as she went through everything with you, but well enough to stand out. He'd give you a nasty look, a smug smirk.
Yet despite that, he began to give you tips and pointers here and there, an upperclassmen to a lowerclassmen you guessed.

Jeremy was the other one that you could tell had been here longer, though only by a margin as he seemed to be in pain so often. Whenever you looked at him though, you got a little reminder of Oliver, your dead friend.
This one didn't speak very much, though when he did, it was often to complain about his throbbing headache during training.
Kitty never paid him much mind, as when the others complained, she'd threaten that they should quit now, because it only gets harder.

You never complained.
Grumpy did.

>>28458929
You should stop being a tease and post the Glorious montage now.

>>28459041
Oh god. I can imagine Ceru pulling on his 'stache everytime he acts grumpy to set him straigh.

>>28459088
I love you anon.

>>28459069
No.....

GRUMPY NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

>>28459069
Grumpy, nooooo. Cerulean being a trooper as always.

>>28459121
He won't quit, I think. He's just gonna mouth off.

For an entire year.

>>28459041
Talk about twisted spoons

>>28459069
Didn't grumpy get decent rolls though?

>>28459149
He critfailed.

Bruise almost did too, but he powered on through.

>>28459149
No, he critfailed. Bruise got a 99 though, that's probably who you're thinking of.

>>28459138
i read that as

>You never quit.
>Grumpy did.

>>28459041
>>28459088
Neat

>>28459041
>>28459069
Oh hey, Prof. What color is Goldenrod's hair? Since he's got yellow fuzz all over his body, I assume his hair may have also gradually turned yellow?

grumpy cannot into calisthenics.

We should suggest to him that he try cheating and moving his body with his powers.
Alakazammode

>>28459178
It's green, I was just too lazy to color that one in. Most everything I try to color ends up looking even worse.

It started with being told that he's required to run without his powers, reminding you of the cross-training obstacle course. He scowled at that, of course, light and weak as he is.
You tried to give him some words of encouragement, that he'd get better, that he'd be able to get through this with you and Bruise.
Yet he just looked at you, saying,”What do you know? Repulsive fish.” As always, his words did sting, but not as much as him avoiding you did.

For the first month, he'd also change his place during runs to be away from you.
In the second. As he began to fall behind in the evaluations he stopped speaking to you entirely.
And as soon as noon hit, sure as anything, he'd be gone for elsewhere, alone.
Of course, you would've tagged along, had it not been him teleporting away.

Bruise worried about him too, yet he had his own issue, determined to become a full fledged rocket.
While he knocked out physical challenges one after the other, he faced challenge with resistance training. When it came to withstanding the elements, Bruise realized just how far he would have to go to correct his fatal flaw. For as much as great his physical feats amounted to, he struggled against this, often passing out, or being forced to bow out during the sessions and spars.

As part of a rocket's training, as Kitty explained, you were to become an all rounder, capable of dealing with nearly any situation with our without the help of your team. While gym members specialize and optimize their techniques, Rockets are expected to achieve such expertise and carry it into all areas.
They could not be bound by their limits.

Neither would Bruise. Over time, through sheer grit, he would push through the exercises and chipped away at his weakness with resolution. You and Kenn were there every step of the way for him.
The bird-ranger sympathizing as he bore with the same difficulty.

>>28459088
I thought Cerulean had green eyes? Of course, seeing as how her eyes had been replaced with the Crytten's......

>>28459193
Green hair on yellow fuzz? Seems kind of a wonky color combination.

I was just asking if his hair color had changed because of his implant, though.

As days turned to weeks, and weeks to months, in your training, you visited Fuschia gym to train with Janine, to round yourself off as Kitty had said.

The kunoichi, as Koga's granddaughter, assisted you directly, her every move practiced and planned from her walk, her expression, her bowed, and even her tone. She's a completely different person upon her clan grounds.
Welcoming you everyday in an entirely too formal manner, you began to reciprocate her gestures out of respect as you discipline yourself, learning their ways and their art of close quarter combat.

The lessons baffle you at first with how they misdirect, redirect, and get in so close while seeming so far.

Leader Koga, or in this case, Master Koga, watches over the two of you. His hidden face reveals nothing, and Janine seems to detect your concern.

>Achieved Close Quarter Combat: rank 2
>Achieved thrown weapon training rank 1 at this point.

>>28459204
How many rocket recruits are there? including us.

>>28459204
Damn it Grumpy. We're going to have to hunt you down and give you hugs.

>>28459213
>Of course, seeing as how her eyes had been replaced with the Crytten's......
That was my thinking. Light blue made them seem icier.
>I was just asking if his hair color had changed because of his implant, though.
Pastebin still says light green.

... I dunno. I'm kinda getting tired of chasing him everywhere.

>>28459248
He's had a rough first year of training.

>>28459252
Ah, I see. I keep forgetting about the pastebin for characters.

>>28459088
It's nice to see that you added in the collar for the Rocket uniform.

>>28459240
8

>>28459236
and isn't it rank 3 for CQC? or is that just for now?

i though Prof rolled for goldy and our roll was just kinda a bonus/something else.

Or maybe it was for his mental state through this

>>28459275
Or maybe he was saying we got to Rank 2 at this point of the year and that, when we reach Rank 3, a scene will be written to show our improvement.

>>28459289
his roll critfailed anon. whats so hard to understand about that?

>>28459275
He said "at this point", we're going to get Rank 3.

>>28459291
that is what i meant by "is that just for now?".

he said "at this point" for thrown weapons. so i had to ask

So, as I see it, Grumpy is distancing himself from Ceru because he is afraid that Ceru's presence will hurt his training.

Hurting his training would of course make him a threat to himself and others, including Ceru. Could he be doing that to protect us?

>>28459306
Prof rolled a 51 for GoldenRod. he then asked us to help him out with a set of rolls. we critfailed, Prof didn't.

>>28459328
He is doing all that because he is an insecure idiot despite all dem iq numbers he packs in his disturbed little brain. Failing gets to him.

>>28459328
Ahhhh.... the psychology of child soldiers.

>>28459328
I think his feelings would be more complex than that. He has stated that he's been jealous of us in the past, he's got an inferiority complex, and, yes, he's mom has been drilling it into his head that his powers are dangerous so he may be distancing himself as well because of that. People can have more than one reason for doing what they do and they can have all sorts of conflicting feelings about it too.

>>28459328
Something to consider, isn't it?

>Writing Fuschi Minisode.

>>28459346
Fun fact: IQ doesn't mean anything

>>28459340
he decided to let the players roll for goldy and bruise and players critfailed gurmpy's roll. really, does this need to be said half a dozen more times? his rol critfailed.

>>28459371
I am looking at the Archive right now. The professor rolled for Goldy first, he rolled a 51.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/28385124/#p28394432

I don't know if our critfail overwrites his roll, but it may not have and it may just affect his attitude and not his training.

>>28459360
In that case, there is only one option possible: hugs, lots of them.

>>28459399
It overwrote his roll.

Bruise also critfailed and he burned off a point of his MASSIVE tenacity stat to make it go away.

Goldie had too close to 0 tenacity to erase his.

>>28459399
Because it was average, he had other people roll dice for Goldie too.

It was not a supplement, but a replacement for his roll.

So do you guys think that upon Dewgong evolution our blubber will become thick enough for it too keep all of our cold inside and not hove freezing hugs anymore?

>>28459425
>>28459423
I would like to hear Prof say that. Prof didn't roll for bruise.

>>28459399
anon you fail at reading comprehension so i will tell you one last time and then stop trying.

his roll critfailed.

read that archive thread a few times over, maybe you'll come to understand the situation.

>>28459423
He only spent 1 point of tenacity, anon.

>>28459439
Just read the dialogue, anon.....

>>28459452
Reading comprehension, anon.
>Bruise also critfailed and he burned off a point of his MASSIVE tenacity stat to make it go away.
>a point

>>28459432
I'm hoping that is possible even before our fat gets even thicker. The Crytten hide literally says it keeps cold in.

The problem is we don't have much control, we have the Freezer Array and that makes us cold on the outside, but once we learn enough control we should be able to stop outputting cold.

It might not be a particularly warm hug, but at least it will be temperature neutral and will warm them up slowly since our fur should insulate them from losing heat.

>>28459432
Glaceon and Vaporeon will solve all problems. Thermocontrol and phase shifting, no fucks will ever be given again. until Mable or Sanna decide to spar

>>28459468
Yes.

>>28459468
If we're temperature neutral, than our hug would be warm just because of the amount of fur, I think. Wouldn't be as warm if we could share our heat, though. But it'd be like getting covered with a thick, plush blanket.

>>28459477
If we survive the surgery.

Still leaning Shelder next.

>>28459468
It's a premature freezer array.

Premature in pokemon generally means that it's weak and lacks control. Like Pichu's electric cheek sacs.

Evolving Crytten should solve our problems.

>>28459468
Come to think of it I remember that there is an ice type pokemon that can raise it's body temperture.

>>28459495
Cerulean just sounds so soft.....

Honestly I want to give warm hugs again Alexis falling asleep on Ceru was beyond cute

>>28459477
In order to get those two we need to find evolution stones first.

>>28459523
Prof said Eevee are reactive enough to evolve from the elements present already in our biology.

>>28459477
Cyrogonal is better than both them

>>28459513
Is it in Kanto or Johto? No? then for get about it.

>>28459523
no we don't, Prof said a tenacity burn could get us those since we are already water/ice. But lets wait until we armor up.

>>28459498
The surgery is not the problem. Prof confirmed that the Eevee surgery itself is not anymore dangerous than other surgeries.

It's what comes after, the trying to get an evolution that doesn't push your type limit and kill you, that's dangerous.

>>28459541
too bad it's all the way in Unova, huh?

>>28459495
That's what I said, temperature neutral, but it will warm them up because it's an insulator. Blankets don't immediately warm people up, it takes a bit to get working.

>>28459521
She is the softest and the fuzziest. She even has a fluffy tail and fuzzy ears.

We need to learn control so we can start giving out hugs again, and have someone scritch behind our ears and pet fluffy tail.

Come on prof wasnt this dumb stuff pre-written?

Guess we're going to have to make our hugs extra long to compensate.

I'm sure no one here would complain about that.

>>28459559
Actually it comes from clouds.

Stones garuntee results. It'd be bad if because we of our personality we get a different evolution then what we expected.

Bad rolls could literally kill us.

You get back to writing and ignore the impatient Anons

It's not the optimal course of action, but it is not a random thing.

>>28459586
If we get a Water Stone we are using it to go Cloyster.

>>28459607
Did you read it's pokedex entry?
Because all we have to do to find one is wait for winter.

>>28459041
When we're older, I hope Goldie starts styling the fu manchu he's got going on. Maybe braid it a little or something. Something dignified.

This really isn't worth worrying about right now, since any further implants are from what we can find. So if cryogonal form in the area, cool beans, I want me some liquefication.

>>28459653
He needs a braided viking mustache. That way, he will be a psychic viking. This is a good thing.

Fuschia Minisode
=======

The training grounds of fuschia feel timeless, with the gym bearing a distinct old-fashioned look, much unlike the appearance of Cerulean's gym.

The students here are often dutiful and disciplined rather than playful like your own. It's amazed you just how different each gym is from quarter to quarter.

Aside from Koga's seldom supervision, and the jealous glances of other trainees, you've trained with Janine religiously, and by Arceus has it made a difference.

You've noticed that Janine seems to have a new part to her, with her using silken threads produced from her hands and fingers.

Today however, Koga's invited you to tea with his other prospective students.

You garb yourself in a gifted silken kimono lent to you, and escorted by Janine through the wooden halls of the Koga, you pass through a paper door as a tea ceremony has begun. A few non-ranger women pouring tea for Master Koga as he still wears his mask and ranger garb, though a far more formal version of it. Would you ever see his face?

"Welcome to my humble home. Come, sit. You shall be served tea as you like." His voice comes out with a slight hiss, sounding like something less human than you'd like.

Taking your seat, Janine sits next to you, the other couple of rangers there with you.

"My students, introduce yourselves,"Koga utters as he picks up a cup of tea, pulling down his mask slightly to sip at the cup. You make note that even his fingers are gloved, and his arms wrapped.

The first boy respectfully bows to you, one hand clasped over a fist. Power and control as you have learned," My name is Talse. Pleased to meet you."
As you bow back to your peer, you take notice of his ears, purple, and slight barbs protruding from his skin along with whiskers and a deadly horn upon the hand covering the fist.
"Cerulean, it's nice to meet you Talse."
"All mine," he smiles.

>>28459654
Haven't we been modified enough?

>>28459641
Just because it is born in snow clouds does not mean it is born in every snow cloud. and it doesn't mean that they will come down from the cloud either

>>28459671
no we are never too modified for snorunt.

my bad 3.

i think we could get 4 maybe 5 or 6

>>28459721
We have three different species, actually.

>>28459700
crafted only by the finest

also, that puts some interesting potential in light armor. If they have enough caterpies grafted on the crafters, then that means everybody is literally equipped with better-than-kevlar vests.

just how many non-combat rangers do we have?

>>28459721
I thought we had 3 because our last surgery came from 2 pokemon

>>28459700
my thoughts exactly.

>>28459743
>Caterpies
laughingAriadosKunoichi

>>28459752
It's a nice sentiment, if it's true. Shows how close she thinks we are to her.

>>28459743
they may not have the skill to weave it so finely. kevlar is Machine woven if i remember right.

Plus kevlar only stops bullets.

The other boy's vision lingers upon Janine, in her kimono before the Master clears his throat, snapping him to attention.
"My apologies," He bows," My name is Haru. Pleased to, ah, meet you."

Another return and you glance at Janine a moment as she leers at the boy," Pleased to meet you too." This one bears bat-like ears that you've seen on some other rangers, Zubat. He's good at hearing then, the other is a nidoran or nidorino.

Poison types. Natural for Fuschia.

Master Koga sets his cup down to speak, carrying that same inhuman reverberation to his voice,"I have invited you hear as you have been training with my Granddaughter so fervently. It is interesting indeed. You are the one that passed the wood with her, as I have been told." He looks to Janine, whom bows her head respectfully at his attention.
"I had hoped to ascertain your character, what sort of a person you are, or will be in the future. I am getting on in the years, and I must know that Janine has reliable comrades."

>Anything you wish to say here?
>[] Yes...
>[] No, let him continue.

>>28459792
>>[] No, let him continue.
lets not interupt Nina dude.

unless he is waiting for us to speak. then someone should probably type something up

>>28459792
>>[] No, let him continue.

Then let him continue.

>>28459792
Compliment Janine, I suppose. She was quite reliable herself, the way she and Bruise stayed behind back in the beedrill clearing to hold off a swarm of monsters to help us get to safety.

She was very clearheaded in a pinch.

>>28459792
>[] Yes...
"I value my friends greatly and will do almost anything to see them happy and safe."

>>28459792
>[x] No, let him continue.
if he didn't stop waiting for a comment then dont interrupt him.

>>28459792

>>28459792
>>[] No, let him continue.
No interupting the master. Bow head in respect.

>>28459792
>>[] No, let him continue.
He is very traditional and seems rather strict, so lets not interrupt.

>>28459840
Yes on this. These are the kinds of things where you have to read the atmosphere.

If he asks us what Janine is like, we can comment, but until then, let's try to act disciplined.

>>28459792
>[] Yes...

Assuming that there is a pause and we wouldn't be interrupting or talking over him.

"It is an honor Master Koga. Janine has taught me much in our time together, and was an able leader in the field.

I consider her a true friend of mine."

Also, we might want to chill our tea when we get it, bring it down to not quite freezing. He did say we will be served tea as we like, and we like it cold.

>>28459759
fine, whatever the pokemon equivalent is for spider silk, since the point is that a sizable amount can be produced 1) at will and 2) fairly large quantities for a single organism

>>28459792
thank him for being able to use his facilities. the best way to respect him is to show discipline and etiquette, though being more honest and relaxed has its benefits.

>>28459792
>[X] No, let him continue.

>>28459661
Psychic/Fighting would be helpful for him. We need to get a machop for him

>>28459792
[X] Yes...

Thank him for allowing us to learn Martial Arts, and compliment Janine as a teacher.

>>28459990
We're not going to take Bruise and fuse him with Grumpy.

On second thought, that might be pretty cool.

>>28460006
>>28459990
It isn't really our choice

>>28460006
Do you really want to deal with Bumpy?

>>28459990
>>28460006
Meditite would be a good choice, if we could procure it for him somehow.

>>28459954
Spider silk =/= Silk

though pokemon silk might

>>28460028
No, I'd prefer to deal with Gruise.

In your time training here, you've learned the kind of respect expected of you here, and you bow your head slightly, listening intently to his every word.

"You see, I find myself troubled as I grow older every year. Janine is young and aspiring, the last of the main-branch family aside from myself as we've suffered one unfortunate circumstance after another."He pauses, letting that word stay in the air.
He finally sighs,"It is such that I fear for her safety."

He gestures to the two boys," These are the most skilled young men from the sub-branches of our family. I do not expect you to know exactly what that means, however it does mean that Janine must someday wed one of them for our future."

He sips his tea, still holding the floor," As an outsider, yet friend to her, your advice must bear some degree on her. I am too old to make decisions for my sole heir. I leave it up to her.

Could I count upon you, as a friend to her?" His eyes rest upon you, as he sips at his tea, a pair of mandibles peeking out to embrace it.

>[] Write in.

>>28460025
Once we start hunting on our own, though, we'll be getting the first pickings on whatever beasts we take down. We'll probably be able to choose the missions (and, thus, targets) we want to take.

>>28460053
Hm. What to say.

>>28460053
Yes?

>>28460053
Buddy you do not even know the degree of friendship we will apply.

>>28460053
We will merit the trust you've shown us.

>>28460053
"O-Of course sir! Janine is one of my friends. I always look out for my friends." Try and look really determined, assuming training hasn't whipped the little girl out of us yet.

>>28460043
yes, i realize that caterpies were not the best example, but the point still stands.

i mean, why bother with silkworms when you can mass-produce either kind of silk with only a handful of pokemon?

>>28460077
but we cannot force grumpy to take another implant.

>>28460053
Hmm he is asking for our opinion on each of the possible suitors.

This is an omiai.

"Of course. I will do everything I can to help."

>>28460053
I will always be honest with Janine and hope we can continue to be good friends.

>>28460053
What's he asking us for, exactly? To support her? Help her choose? Is he implying that Janine doesn't want to marry and that he wants us to nudge her that way?

We're (still) 10, so do we actually understand what he's asking us to do for Janine?

>>28460053
why do I keep imaging Koga as Kamen Rider?

>>28460034
That or a bitching beldum.

Steel/psychic is one of the best typing.

>>28460053
How could I deny your request after all the help your grandaughter and your gym gave me? I will help you.

>>28460101
i don't think he is asking for us to pick a suitor. he just said it was up to her

>>28460082
this. I don't know if Ceru has the balls to say it this way, but it would be so awesome.

>>28460118

>>28460053
"Of course. I'd always want the best for my friend on such a matter even if you hadn't asked. Though if i am to be honest, if *she* definitely wanted none of those two i'd support that as her friend, but she is probably too dedicated to her family to even consider that. Anyways, i'll always do my best to make my friend happy."

>>28460053
"Of course Master Koga.

Janine is my friend, I freely offer my advice and support.

I hope to live up to the faith you have placed in me."

Give Janine a smile, and if we have tea sip some cold tea.

>Could I count upon you, as a friend to her?

no he isn't

>>28460053
Oh wait, I think I get it. He's not asking us to push her towards any sort of decision. Just that we counsel her.

>>28460153
>>28460086
>>28460088
My vote goes here.

>>28460134
This was still within the first year of training, I think. We're still in the montage. After the montage (which is its own sort of timeskip, I guess) is the 1 year timeskip.

>>28460174
it is a 1 year and 4 month timeskip

we were 11 and 4 months.

so we are probably close to our 11th birthday

>>28460203
That's how long the montage is, yes. How do you know at what point of the montage this interlude is happening in? We've only acquired Rank 2 of Fuchsia CQC training and Rank 1 of Thrown Weapons training. There's still lots of other abilities and weapons training we've yet to acquire, so I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that this is still early on in the montage.

>>28460170
Wut? Thats exactly what he is asking us to do. He wants us to look over the two prospects and tell Janine which we think is the best choice for her. Whether she follows our advice is a different matter entirely.

>>28460119
Because he's a bug man that's completely covered from head to toe.

>>28460289
it would be funny if, for all the ninja training he teaches, he fights by riding a loud bike and screaming "HENSHIN!"

PLEASE DRAWFRIENDS HEAR ME PLEA

>>28460274
i see absolutely nothing thta asks us to give our opinion on the prospects. he was probably just informing us of her arranged marraige because we are her (probably closest) friend

>>28460274
just the fact that she has someone to talk to who isn't her husband takes a lot of the pressure off.

>>28459088
She only 12 years old, but the ass was fat

I hope this thread is as long as they usually are, because we may need it just to finish this monatge.

>>28460460
The montage is pre-written. This mini-sode with Janine wasn't.

>>28460486

>>28460509
in that case, is it possible for someone else to update the skill sheets and pokedex while Ygg is writing?

"Oh, o-of course sir." You bow your head politely," Janine is a dear friend of mine, and with all the help your gym has given me, I certainly could not refuse."
Tea is set before you, and you give it a brisk chill before sipping it.

Koga's expressionless face bows his head, his flanged voice bearing some modicum of approval," It is good to hear. We have enjoyed having you here as well."
Slowly, he rises, standing dignified,"I am honored that you would hear this old man's request. I will excuse myself, please enjoy your time here. I apologize that I must leave so soon as a host. If you have need of anything more, please ask Renya and Shao." He gestures to the two serving women who have brought themselves to the corners of the room.

As he leaves, you give Janine a smile, though she wears a small frown," Sorry to have gotten you involved in this." She whispers to you.

Your ears twitch and your tail flicks slightly," It's alright, I'm happy to help you Janine, you know that."

She grips at her own Kimono with her apprehension,' Yeah.. Thank you."

>[]Ask the suitors questions/get to know them.
>[]Return to Montage.

Let's get to know these guys a bit. Ask them for how long they've known Janine.

Let's get back to the future. Which is the past.

>>28460536
[X] Ask the suitors questions/get to know them.

We take helping our friends out seriously. We can't help her much if we don't know about them.

Ask how long they've known each other, what they spend their time doing, their thoughts on the situation, and so on.

We should talk with Janine privately as well, get her opinion on this situation, not just the opinion she shows everyone. I'm getting the feeling she's not completely happy with either of them.

I'm mostly interested in how far you're taking the EX list. Are monster hunter creatures going to be just as common as pokemon? Or are they just considered to live in a different region, etc.

in terms of vanilla pokemon, we should add in the domesticated ones used for the development of the cities once you've finished worldbuilding them in. Food sources, water purifiers, medical equipment/medicine, excavation, pets, etc.

I'm assuming most of the evolved forms are unknown, so we might be able to get away with potentially dangerous pokemon simply because nobody knows yet.

>Are monster hunter creatures going to be just as common as pokemon
To some degree. Inserting more OCs for surprises or to throw a wrench in plans.
I am considering that they are more common on and around the orange islands however, which are many.

>>28460753
Personally i would prefer to keep a few as possible OC/monsterhunter pokemon.

. I think the OC pokemon should only be there to fill any niches that pokemon doesn't already have filled (ie: forest fires, sabre tooth tigers/arctic tundra, etc. etc.)

>>28460796
>>28460786
Crytten was awesome for an OC, that's all I have to say. So much so I didn't even KNOW it was OC until you told us.

If that's the quality, make as many as you please.

I'm fine with OC pokemon, so long as they don't live in Kanto/Johto/Sinnoh/Hoenn.

Like all those regions are relatively minor portions of Japan, and yet they have a considerable variance in the types of pokemon that live in each area.

It stands to reason that the rest of Poke-Japan would have a similar amount of variety, wouldn't you think?

You sip at your tea, and while Janine is unusually reserved here, you feel more in control of this situation. Whether it be the bout of confidence Koga has bestowed upon you, or your glorious training as a rocket.

"So.. Haru, and Talse, right? Why you two? What do you have to offer Janine?"
You smile with a sort of purr to your lips, Talse stares on, while Haru's eyes linger on Janine again. The young lady in question bears a complexion of stone as she regains composure.

"You first." You point to Haru as Talse begins to speak, and take another sip of your icy tea. The boy nods and begins.

"Well, I am Haru. I come from clan Tsukiyome, I honestly didn't know why Master Koga called me here until just a bit ago. Umm.." He scratches his head," I am still in training, getting close to taking the Veridian wood test.
I'm a decent ranger, I think. But nowhere near Lady Janine's level. I've been told I'm good at Recon, but, well, that's about it." His eyes fall back upon Janine, until he looks down at his own tea, and sips the warm amber fluid.

"Your turn." You sip down the rest of your tea and point to Talse, as Janine calls Shao for a refill.

The Nidoran ranger pulls at his collar,"I am Talse, of clan Soragakure. We are a leading clan of toxicology. We research poisons, of all sorts from delaying activation time, eating away at flesh, paralysis, and more. I am honored to be considered for Lady Janine's betrothal. I only hope I am selected to bring honor to my clan."

You sip at your refilled tea, and give him a slight nod," And what about you?" A simple question, most of that stuff he said doesn't matter to you after all.

He seems to pause at that, thinking on it," I am a poor example of my family, preferring the art of close combat over poisons." He shrugs," I guess it just seems more honest and fitting of a ranger."

>You've gotten to know the gist of them. Who would you advise Janine to marry in the future? The final decision need not be made now.

>>28461070
i don't see the correlation

>>28461080
No decision for now.

Better to let Janine get to know them better herself as well.

Let's continue with the MONTAGE.

>>28461080
No decision now, but if she asks us, we'll say Haru.
Talse is a fucking perv man, he's checking out them gams

>>28461080
no decision for now.

but obviously Talse.

Now back to the montage!!!1

>>28461080
>"I've been told I'm good at Recon, but, well, that's about it." His eyes fall back upon Janine, until he looks down at his own tea, and sips the warm amber fluid.
Why are the recon boys always so shy.

They both seem like nice guys, though. Haru is pretty reserved while Talse is earnest.

>>28461119
other way around.

Haru was perving

>>28461080
I like them both.
This is harder than I had anticipated.
Let's wait and see which of them die in the ranger test.

Really we don't have enough information yet.

>>28461080
BACK TO THE MONTAGE!!!!!!

>>28461080
No decision yet. We should ask Janine sometime what she thinks about all this and about two boys in particular.

>>28461119
>>28461142
Yeah, it was Haru who was checking Janine out.

>>28461080
>warm amber fluid.
Minor nitpick, isn't the tea actually used in tea ceremonies green matcha or at least green sencha?

Anyway, for the wedding choice, lets see how Haru fares in the Veridian wood test first.

>>28461093
Aren't both satelites of a certain planet?

>>28461093
Attack on Titan is set in Europe

>>28461186
I don't think we have to worry about either of them for the test. They're both supposedly the best among their batch of cadets.

>>28461080
Recommend Haru in private to Janine, Kids got a good heart which should appeal to Cerulean and the would have a better relationship free from political drama marrying someone the same status as her.

>>28461193
Pretty sure it isn't. I don't think it was specified where it was.

There aren't any Titans in this setting. besides Pokemon would literally assrape them all over the place

>>28461186
Pokescience. I blame the berry leaves used in this tea.

>No opinion: Continuing Montage.

>>28461080
Talse, obviously.

NOW BACK TO THE MONTAGE!

We've hardly interacted with either of these two at all, nor has Janine herself actually asked for our input. Just leave it alone for now.

>>28461244
>status
I'm pretty sure they're all of the same status, anon. Or, at least, Talse's status hasn't been mentioned at all.

>>28461244
Ehh, i don't see anything that proves he isn't just a kid or isn't a perv or isn't normal.

>>28461207
The test isn't just a test of personal worth. Even if they are the best of their batch, they could die saving their group.

>>28461257
Oh now you're abusing the pokescience excuse.

>>28461254
It was said that it was not in any part of Asia during the flashback where Eren saves Mikasa from the dudes that kill her parents. And the people are white, they have Eruopean names, and there are castles.

>>28461264
They didn't even think of ask what Janine thought.

>>28461080
I like Talse more, he seems earnest and straight forward, that's useful in a marriage, especially when it may not be a marriage based on love. I'd advise her to go with him.

Haru is nice, but a bit wishy washy.

Obviously Janine's opinions of them are still important, and we don't know either of them as well as we'd like for this.

>>28461244
They both are under Janine as she's from the main clan and they're from branch clans.

>>28461257
>no opinion

As expected of /tg/-kun.

>>28461080
Look on the bright side.

If Haru doesn't make it back from the Veridian woods then the choice has already been made.

>>28461319
I don't understand the implication, anon.

>>28461315
I sort of like talse too. He's got a good resume and seems into it.

But it's too early to give solid advice

>>28461308
a few european names and not being asia does not mean europe.

Besides, it's anime/manga, names mean almost nothing.

Realizing something. Spiritomb is made of 108 spirits.

Agatha probably ate way more than that. Agatha is basically a super Spiritomb bound to human form instead of a rock.

>>28461366
We'll touch on that soon.

>>28461363
Tell me where you think it's set then. The most likely location is Europe if we're assuming it's actually Earth.

>>28461383

or close enough to it that none of it fucking matters

Goldenrod's ability as a psychic flourished over the past year. Growing more powerful everyday, he seemed to be more occupied with refining his abilities as an esper rather than pursue his Rocket career.
This habit began to rear its ugly head as time and time again he came in last for runs, weapons practice, application of tactical equipment(which never worked for him) and his brash nature kept him from admitting his fault.

Despite yours and Bruise's attempts to help him, he only withdrew further away, even going so far as to claim that the rockets may not be good enough for him.

This escalated to the point that he began to skip training to go elsewhere. Where, as always, you had little clue, yet this would not last for more than a few days.
Kitty eventually hunted him down to scold him. Even with his mounting attitude, the crazy cat lady could put the esper in his place.
___________________________________________

Kitty brings out Goldenrod, dragging him out by the ear, in pure panic mode as he seems to have lost his sense of reason, struggling and scratching at the hardy women, attempting to get away.
"Get off, please get off! You- You scare me! Get away! Please!" Goldenrod begs in his throes, unheard by Kitty.

You can see as he's brought before the lineup that there's blood on Kitty's claws and Goldenrod's face has been shredded up rather well. Your Rocket Trainer, undaunted by the slight horror upon your face or Bruise's Grimace.
Kenn seems a bit perturbed as a younger Ranger, though Devon grins a bit madly, the others try to mask over their expressions.
Mable notably shows no chance apart from the odd spark here and there.

"This maggot's come to the thinking that he's too good for the lot of us. Unforgivable as a trainee ranger, and a major insult to myself, as the trainer that's put you all through hell till now."

>>28461479
God damn it Grumpy. Are we going to have to whoop your ass and then give you a hug?

>>28461479
didn't you have this all typed up beforehand?

"Let go!" Goldenrod scream again, pulling hard before a swat of Kitty's powerful tail has him reeling.

"I've brought him before you all, his peers. Your choice to make, will this ungrateful maggot be allowed to train with the rest of you again? Or will he be dumped back at his old gym? Choice is yours little cadets." Kitty's eyes are wide and waiting as she calmly drags about the struggling esper.

"Screw you, bit-" Another swat of Kitty's tail brings him to the ground, gasping.

"Make the choice little cadets," Kitty's eyes linger over you and Bruise before passing over to the others.

Goldenrod's been truant, ever complaining, and bullheaded. More-so than Bruise. You've heard how the others are getting fed up with him, and you know Devon has a chip for this sort of thing, often antagonizing you to get serious with him.
Mable's code of conduct would have her rid of Goldie, he's not a soldier.
Sanna, could likely care less, and the others? You're not sure what they might think either.

>What would you say? Goldie's walking on thin ice here.

If he truly wishes to leave.... you cannot force someone to be your friend afterall.

>>28461536
No, just wondering. sorry if it came off as complaining

>>28461516
He's being hard headed. We need to either break through it, and train his ass, or let him go and sulk in the corner.

I vote let him stay. At least to say we stuck up for him.

>>28461516
"Goldie can't be allowed to run-away. He decided to be a Rocket, so he has to accept responsibility for his decision no matter what."

>>28461516
Ask Goldenrod if he truly wishes to leave.

But, we have to make him realize that the biggest threats are handled by the rocket rangers and the elite 4, if he truly wishes to protect the dome, he should stay.

>>28461516
I say we propose a Sparring match. if he wins he can decide weather to stay or leave, if he loses he is kicked out.

Well we support him obviously.

But I'm not sure what we should say.

>>28461573
I have a plan for that actually.

Tell the others to give him a second chance, if he thinks he's so much better then us, let him try to prove it to get his ass in gear still.

At least half of them are competative

>>28461516
Speak up on his behalf. I know he's basically a child abuse victim and a product of his environment but few people in the Rockets are going to care, even people in the thread are giving up on him. In private we need to get him to get his shit together or he'll get thrown out no matter what we say, and deliver that message in some way that doesn't antagonize him.

Something like >>28461572 or >>28461592
might be good for right now.

>>28461587
He didn't do this for the dome, I don't think. He did it because his mom made him and he'd do anything to make her proud of him. Or at least, would. Dunno how long that train of thought will last.

>>28461588
my thought's exactly.

>>28461516
Let him stay, as long as he promises to respect others more and starts taking his training seriously.

>>28461588
change that to

I say we propose a Sparring match. if he wins he can decide weather to stay or leave, if he loses we vote on it.

I think this would solve the problem of us being outvoted but also might kick his ass into gear for when we beat him.

>>28461573
Actually, as of this post, it's currently 8 votes to 2. Not counting non-committal posts like
>>28461587

If we want to convince the others that he should stay, we can say that it was his decision to become a Rocket. And he has to be forced to live with that decision like a grown-up. He can't just drop this because he feels like it.

>>28461577
Ech. Not this. Not in front of everybody.

I'm trying as hard as I can to think up something to convince the other cadets to let him stay, but between trying to not include meta or things we shouldn't remember, this is getting hard.

>>28461721
Soldier responsibility. It's totally within our character, since we're the formal type.

>>28461516
I would say for him to stay.

"He's an Esper, and a rather powerful one at that. Him being in the field with us could easily end up being the factor which keeps us from dying. He can deal with threats the rest of us would have difficulty even identifying.

You all know this to be true. While he may be difficult to deal with, we all know that his skillset could make him an excellent addition to any team sent out to the wilds.

However his behavior lately has been deplorable.

Goldenrod, you are not a Saffron Gym member, you are a Rocket, you made that decision, you took the oath, and you are going to live by it, even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming through this training. You've saved my life before, and I am going to help you whether you like it or not."

Give him a nice big smile.

"You are going to stop trying to avoid me, you are going to stop skipping out on training, you are going to stop complaining about training, we're all training just as hard.

If you want to walk away after all the bullshit you've put us through you can do that, after you beat me in a spar and prove that you don't need Rocket Training."

Or we go with the classic "Let him stay and i'll make sure he gets in line" by putting our reputation on the line.

Dude have you learned nothing from Alexis?

We won't be able to beat Goldenrod unless we use Evil abilities, and you don't use Evil abilities on things you don't want to kill.

I like the idea of challenging him to a duel to prove he's better off training on his own, specifically if he remembers the Alexis event, seeing him squirm facing that would be delicious, since he can't even explain why it would be a bad idea. (unless we've done regular duels since then and gotten accustomed to our new techniques)

A good idea. Then we get angry with Golden Rod, we break what he's used to from us. We're always hugs and friendship and warm bigheartedness; time for Cerulean to go from cute Bernadette to angry exasperated disappointed voice. His head will spin so fast while we demand he step up that he'll get whiplash. We'll help him out with off hours training to catch up, and we'd do that anyway because "ELITE"

He's not bad, but he doesn't take failure very well. As high and mighty as he acts, we know that he has serious self-confidence issues.

We need to get him to use his head, and I don't mean psychic powers. If he can learn to work smart, not hard, and refrain from antagonizing trainers/teamates, he should be just fine.

>>28461592
this can be a good way to get him to use his brain. If we can get him to listen to us, maybe he'll find a way to be halfway competent on his own.

You'd think Kitty would have taught us over the montage.

So:

>Propose sparring match: Win, he choses. Lose, we choose.

>Cast your vote for him to stay, with some words that may bite him.

>Put rep on the line

Modified.

Vote here, and we'll act it out.

They have, that was one of the next parts. You trained Evil Techs with Devon and Kitty.

I really don't want to duel a psychic.
The only way we can play to ou advantage is using evil moves. And evil moves, as we all know now, are NOT to be used in duels.

>with some words that may bite him.
What posts are you referring to here?

But I agree. There must be some kind of limit to how much bullshit Ceru can take from Goldie.

>Put rep on the line

Cast vote for him to stay, with just a few biting words. He may not admit it, but he still looks to us as a figure of happiness. That's why he tries to avoid us. This way, we can say we at least tried.

And talk to the others a bit too, if it looks like they're ready to get rid of his ass. Tell them that Grumpy should be here with us if he thinks he's better, so he can prove it.

>>28461814
I dislike the sparring thing a lot.

>>28461814
>>Propose sparring match: Win, he choses. Lose, we choose.


but it would be better to phrase it to the people that want him gone

>>28461814
>Cast your vote for him to stay, with some words that may bite him.
My vote goes here.

>>28461746
I like most of this, I think it's pretty good. I'm worried it might be a bit too antagonistic to Goldenrod but eventually you have to set limits. I still have mixed feelings on the sparring stuff, most people seem to like it though, so maybe I'm just wrong.

I think >>28461746
Might be good, but Goldenrod seems too likely to react poorly to the part targeted at him.

But then again, he's likely to react poorly to anything.

I like him and all, but he is such a shit.

>>28461814
I dont want to go for the duel, but I can't justify not dueling him in character. He wants to leave because he's too good for us, this is rookie training, we've dueled before the alexis one during training and this makes too much sense. The only thing to justify not doing it is evil techs being so nasty, but that is OOC as FUCK, me/tg/aming is bad mmk?

>>28461826
Snarl is Dark, and it won't hurt him, just utterly fuck up his ability to keep a level head and use psychic powers effectively. Remember, he's in a bad state due to Kitty thrashing him about, add Snarl on top of that and he's toast psychically speaking.

Also, Feint Attacking into something like Water Gun or Icy Wind should be fine, as long as we don't Frost Breath or Crossroad Killing him I think we'll be alright.

>>28461814
I'd go for >>28461746
Modified to include other suggestions.

Make sure that it's clear that we're taking responsibility for him, our reputation is on the line. We're through putting up with his bullshit. We want our friend back.

He can either accept that we're going to be helping him, or he can try and fight us.
