Pokemon Tabletop RPG - It's Aliiiive!

Perception check nobody critically failed this.

Everybody else wakes up with a startle!

Bastion has made his way out of the Pokemon Center.

Marc winces at Sturm's shout and follows Bastion, wondering what on Earth is going on. He makes sure to be somewhat alert, there could be ghosts around...

Sturm grabs someone at random (likely Raphael because she'd be terrified) and runs out the door with sword in hand.

"Uuuuugh shut up you stupid Viking I'm trying to fucking sleep." Is what Tori's probably thinking, if Sturm did actually wake her up."

Raphael meeps frantically as she and Gabby are dragged along.

Whaaaaa what time is it is the store open need pokeballs aaaaa

Turns out he did, so Tori rolls out of bed and stumbles around in the dark trying to find her damn pants.

Once that's done, she sticks her head out the door and yells at her companions.

"What the flying fuck is that viking doing!?"

They're already way ahead of her, so she slaps her belt on again with exasperation and chases them out the door.

CLIFTON woke up! CLIFTON used BODY SLAM! Luckily, Calloway dodged.

After picking himself up and dusting himself off, Clifton runs after Tori. "So you don't have any idea what the fuck is going on either, then?"

Sturm sends out Sleipnir to act as a light source.

If Sleipnir is tired, he'll carry the horse along too.

Tori notices Calloway's glow, and sends out Molly as well. "Did "what the flying fuck" sound like I knew what was going on?"

Sleipnir is apparently well rested, and ready to get going. His glow is sufficient to light at least a little bit ahead.

Those other pokemons with glow also glow glowingly.

Also the store is, surprisingly enough, still open.

Bastion is walking up the hill towards Dead Tower. This is incredibly surprising. You are all surprised. Who could have possibly guessed such a thing.

"...Shit shit shit what if the kid is possessed or something oh god Tori please be ready with the crow okay."

Clifton runs as fast as he can, trying to catch up with the kid.

"... Shit."

Tori does not acknowledge Clifton's advice, but sends out Natalie anyway.

"Natalie, scout ahead. Fuck up anything that tries to mess with Bastion."

Sturm sends Sleipnir ahead, picks up Tori, and takes off after Bastion. He's probably forgotten that he's still dragging Raphael along too.

Raphael, needless to say, is not having A Good Time. But hanging on to the Viking seems easier, and more importantly, safer. At least she managed to grab her stuff.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"

Tori keeps smacking Sturm on the wherever it seems to register, then takes whatever pause she can to just clamber on his back.

"Right, now you can go."

She gives Molly a thumbs-up, then jabs said thumb in the direction of the tower.

ADVENTURRREEE

"Whoa what? Dead Tower? Why is Bastion going there? Is... is he possessed?"

Marc considers breaking in the Spiritual Shoppe for some Holy Water.

Bastion comes to inside of Dead Tower. He has his Pokemon in their Pokeballs clipped to his belt, but he seems to be missing his bag. He was apparently storing a Potion in his pocket for some reason, so he's got that on him.

There are a number of graves, that number being six, and a lot of trainers. Mystics and Psychics, presumably Two of them look like healers, judging by the red crosses on their robes. Or could just be a fashion statement, you guess. Aside from the trainers there are a few fainted pokemon, a weak looking, but still conscious one, and stairs going up on the other side of t he tower. You must have come in through the south door, not that you can remember entering at all.




Bastion has entered the tower. Everybody but Marc is approaching the tower quickly.

"Wow this is a weird dream, I'm like in some sort of tower or something, HEY DREAM PEOPLE WHERE AM I?" Bastion starts to walk in the direction of people that are there all woozy like with a smile and not really knowing what the fuck.

The Empath in the middle of the room walks up to Bastion. "Um, kid, you okay? It probably isn't safe for you to be here."


Okay now everybody else gets there.

"Oh hey guys! What are you doing in this dream? Apparently this place isn't safe or something! BUT I HAVE CYBER MACHINES BEEP BOOP!" Bastion prances around scanning the pokemon in the room with his Pokedex in his half stupor while the others hopefully go do something useful.

Raphael freezes up at the mention of 'not safe'. Gabby sighs, fishes her Pokedex out of the bag, and begins scanning things as well. Because someone's got to be sensible and it might as well be him.

TRAINER GABBY LEVELS UP

"What," Tori enquires, "the shit."

As Bastion prances off, she marches up to the cross-rocking dude who Bastion talked to.

"Would you like to explain why the dicks that kid sleepwalked all the way here?"

She glances around at the fainted Pokemon.

"Like, what the fuck is happening here?"

Marc suddenly remembers that Bastion doesn't have his pokemon. He runs back and grabs his stuff as quickly as possible, then he goes to Dead Tower, slightly out of breath.

Clifton frowns and walks with Bastion. "Kid, this isn't a dream. You feeling okay?" He then waves his hand in front of Bastion's face because that's what they do in TV and movies.
