>Did I get our thread closed? Fuck!>Previous thread: >>6054296>I am still here and around. Its just been tricky finding time to do this >Okay lets determine how the skip works. You guys wanna rp the dinner date or just flash cut to the next morning?
>>6099652you did not get it closed. i slid onto page 11 and was automatically. closed. was the thread archived yet?anyway i would like to get her response and what she cooks before skipping to the next morning.
>>6099736we were at the end of the page so it auto closedalso i will take the rp date
>>6099736>>6099919>>6099652I archived the thread. Let me think of a good date night...I will definitely respond tonight. Just busy atm.
>>6100731ok night op
>>6101012>>6100731>>6099919>>6099736WAIT! I FORGOT! We have to meet Stars for plot stuff. Can I just do some post scene stuff now?
>>6101016I dont know? Can you?your the QM. Could be on the way back or he jumps from the trees, having spotted the pair walking towards what would amount to a good battle spot.
>>6099652Flash cut to next morning
>>6101210>>6101468>>6101012>Eh we can skip a day. "Gee is that a leaf on the forest floor or your panties Mallow?" Said a voice from behind them. Mallow jumps as Stars is there. Lucario is at the ready at his side and...Altaria is preening herself. Cotton is a bitch to maintain apparently. "Excellent battle brah. Not everyone can take on a Trial Captain when she's going all out. And Mallow...I can run and get you a water bottle if you like." Mallow's face is beet red and she clings to Amon. Pressing her chest tight on your arm. "BACK OFF STARS! I WON'T LET YOU CORRUPT THIS TRAINER!" Stars gives a deep laugh. "Corrupt! I'm not the one clinging to him for dear life. Ay! That said, I heard from an acquaintance you won at Battle Royale! Nice work!" Stars says sincerely.>Your response?
>>6101517"Thanks kinda had to get creative at the end while on fumes but I think I did well so far."
>>6101517"Hard won battle yeah. only because my buddy evolved.Though i have to say if all Trial Captains are this strong and stronger getting to properly challenge you one day is gonna be an uphill battle."
>>6101802>>6101603>>6101517"Challenge me? Wishful thinking at this stage...but I like that!" Stars says. He puts on some sunglasses. "You've done plenty of training today so get some rest..." Suddenly Stars freezes up. Staring at something. Lucario immediately jumps in front Stars and starts roaring loudly. Altaria gets up from preening and gets into a battle pose. You and Mallow look behind you and see...something...is that a Pokemon? "Oh look Stars! Its Tapu Lele!" Mallow says teasingly. "She came to say hi!" Stars face turns white and he gets on Altaria. And they fly off without another word. Lucario roars and wants to stay and fight. "Lucario, return!" Stars says putting him back in his Pokeball before they fly off. "Heh. Tapu Lele terrifies Stars. Its because Tapu Lele was the one who punished him after he lit the Alola Grand Hotel on fire." Mallow says. You pull out your Pokedex. "Tapu Lele, the Land Spirit Pokemon, Fairy and Psychic type. It heals the wounds of people and Pokémon by sprinkling them with its sparkling scales. This guardian deity is worshiped on Akala. It said to has an unpredictable and mischievous nature and can cause harm instead of aid at times." Its staring at you. Like directly at you. Not Mallow. You. "Wow...She must see something special in you." Mallow whispers in your ear. "The Guardian Deities rarely acknowledge tourists."
>>6102504"Ehm.... Hi. Not sure if you can understand me. But nice to meet you." *be nervous but try to not show it. This one seems dangerous if it wants to be.*
>>6102506She flies close to you. Examining you. Her eyes flash a bit. She makes a low sort of chirp. Then turns into a ball of light and flies off. "Wow! I think she likes you!" Mallow says. "No one is ever gonna believe this!" Mallow says. "Oh uh...Dinner...right...What did you uh...want again?" Mallow walks back to town with you.
>>6102509"Something with local berries sounds nice. And..... Fish. Yeah Fish with some spicy berry sounds good. Do you know how to fish?"
>>6102517>Are there...animals in Pokemon? Would you settle for Slowpoke tail?
>>6102537i mean in some of the early pokemon anime seasons you can see fish in an Aquarium. But Slowpoke Tail is supposed to be a delicacy. so sure. lathered in honey?you can probably eat goldeen, Cloister and other pokemon. Guess where they are getting their steaks and milk from.
>>6102537This has always been a bit of a funny plot hole. If it can be ethically sourced from pokemon it usually is and with tons of attention drawn to it. Otherwise it’s either a joke, a plot point, or simply kept ambiguous, though supposedly some Pokédex entries refer to eating pokemon and to non-pokemon wildlife existing. I vaguely remember Slowpoke Tail used to be considered cruel, but recently it’s been retconned to grow back quickly enough to basically be harmless because it ended up being so iconic. I say go with whatever’s easiest.
>>6102659I would assume they would eat old slowpokes that died of natural causes or flayed pokemon like magikarp for dinner as pokemon are common enough not to cause guilt over harvesting the herbivores.
>>6102794>>6102659>>6102541>>6102537According to game canon you CAN harvest tails. They grow back. Just gonna do that. Tomorrow morning.
>>6102794Apparently Slowpoke Tails just… fall off sometimes? So it’s creating this weird catch 22 for the cops where Slowpoke Tails aren’t illegal but cutting them off is. Imagine just having a goddamn Slowpoke ranch where you just let them live their lives waiting for their tails to fall off…And supposedly Magikarp taste awful, just to round out how useless they are. Farfetch’d on the other hand are so delicious they were nearly hunted to extinction!
>>6102929It was more they were being poached I think. I remember that in Gold and Silver.
>>6102934Yeah, poaching them for their tails is illegal but any fallen tails you find happen to find while out foraging are fair game.
>>6102938>>6102934>>6102929>>6102928>>6102659>>6102541>>6102537>>6102517"Something with local berries sound good...and I have always wanted to try Slowpoke tail." Mallow smiles. "I can handle that." She takes you to the restaurant while its still closed. She heads to the kitchen. "Wanna watch? Not everyone gets to see a gourmet kitchen you know." She asks.
>>6103287"Sure. I wanted to learn to cook anyway. never got the chance. and with bigger pokemon i cant be relying on berries alone for the future."
>>6103287"Yup, I need to learn how to cook to make good food for me and my pokemon."
>>6103455>>6103303>>6103287She takes you back and shows you some basic stuff. But a lot of it flies over your head. She notices and asks. "You look confused. You ever been in a kitchen before?" She asks a joke.>Your response?
Rolled 31 (1d100)>>6104518"Eh... never really paid attention. and never in one this big. whats this for?"ask her a couple questions about how to proceed and get cooking together. you might wanna try to get away from these one or two line responses. some more description would be neat about how the kitchen is furnished and maybe how she moves around in there. something about how she is secure and knows this place very well. stuff like that.
>>6104520Yeah I admit I haven't been on my game. I'll make a better post in response after work.
Rolled 48 (1d100)>>6104518"Looks like a lot to keep track of and why are there multiple knives when one is good enough?"
>>6104695>>6104607>>6104520>>6104518Test.
>>6105530Okay good I am not banned. So I may end up Getting irl laid. so I gotta take a rain check till tomorrow. Will definitely post then. Wish me luck.
>>6105531Have fun.and dont let yourself get fucked over
Test.
>>6106041>>6105683>>6105531>>6105530>>6104695>>6104607>>6104520>>6104518>>6103303>>6103455You've never been in a kitchen before. You find the entire experience interesting to look at. Mallow moves sharp knives of various shapes and sizes with a practiced ease. The room is nothing but counters, drawers, and a huge fridge. There is a walk in freezer and the whole place smells like herbs and smoke. You see her making a simple stew with the ingredients and she seems to not mind the heat at all. "I hear in Paldea there is a Pokemon that can make its own chili sauce. I'd love to try it out. Have you ever wanted to visit another region? Besides Alola of course!" She asks as she chops up some berries.
Rolled 82 (1d100)>>6106042"Never. didnt really have the money to travel much or far."Help out by offering to hand her utensils or spices she wants while observing how she sears and prepares the meat. Check if maybe she has some berries for your pokemon to have a bit of a snack before food to stoke their appetite.
Rolled 51 (1d100)>>6106043"Maybe if I find a job I could save up and visit another place. If Alola is this exciting then I can't imagine what other places could be."Ye help the cooker and hopefully avoid getting cut by a knofe
>>6106537>>6106043>>6106042>Sorry everyone. My phone lost service outright due an unpaid bill. >Will respond later on today. Have to drive for a few hours.
>>6107319no qm. just make sure to drive responsibly. and maybe some time can be skipped during cooking. this extreme slow drip of progress is starting to get a bit tired.
>>6107327>>6107319>>6106043"Oh! No thanks, but I can show you the spices and how they work with the flavors in the stew." She proceeds to overload your brain with funfacts and tips and tricks about various spices and herbs and seasonings. You learn more in an hour then some people do in a lifetime. After a long and enthusiastic explanation about the usages and history of Basil she finds the stew is done. "Oh wow, I hadn't even gotten to Cumin yet." Mallow says. "Anyways I made enough for two and some for you to take home." Mallow pours some reddish brown broth with loads of chopped berries and onions inside and bits of tail meat. "We have a few hours before they come for dinner rush." She takes the bowls with a practiced ease to a table. "I hope water is okay." She sets it up. "So tell me how it is?" She seems genuinely enthusiastic to see how you like the food. Its rather spicy but also sweet and savory. You begin to sweat a bit from the spice.>Do you like it? Taste wise?>After this and like 2 posts we can gonna "skip" to next day past the overnight activities.
Rolled 23 (1d100)>>6107728The amount of spices is probably a bit much at first for our boy Amon. Coughing slightly at the first bite with eyes watering he nods that its good."H-Hot...." he mumbles before tearing into his portion with the gust of a starving snorlax. Also is the Bloodletter here? The Warlords of Chaos are deploying.
>>6107895>What is that spoiler?>>>6107728"Sorry! I forget sometimes that I cook my own meals with a bit of a kick. Even my family comments on it sometimes." After some food and talk you find she's...>Roll a d100 and beat a 30.
Rolled 25 (1d100)>>6108300Cough. "Why is my tongue trying to kill me? Is spice always this hot?"Asks amon not knowing this is mild spice.
Rolled 51 (1d100)>>6108300the spoiler is asking for a player that i know to have voted in these threads in the past. i wanted to see if they were here since the other quest started up again and is promising to be a doozy.
>>6108496>>6108320>>6108300She's...Really into you! Your experience with women is limited but it appears rejecting her like that activated some "I can fix him" impulse. She's leaning in and her eyes are on you. She seems really in the moment...Is this normal for Alola? "Hm? Is something wrong?" Mallow asks noticing the look in your eyes.
Rolled 66 (1d100)>>6109007"Your getting a bit close there... Is there something on my face? did i forget to wash it before the food?"Try to make some space. dont wanna accidentaly splash her with hot soup but compliment her cooking skills.
Rolled 14 (1d100)>>6109007"Do I need a napkin or a bath to clean off the dirt?"amon can't speak at woman
>>6109007>>6109160>>6109613>Sorry for the wait. It's been rough irl "Oh! I um..." She's blushing hard and fidgeting in her chair. "H...Hey, we usually have some leftover stew and soups and stuff and I usually take it home. Maybe I could uh...take some to you tonight. Your staying at a hotel right? The Tide Song or the Alola Grand?">Its the tide song. And after this we can time skip unless you guys have something you wanna rp when you get to the hotel?
>>6110783>"It’s the Tide Song, yeah. And that sounds awesome! The hotel’s food is great and all, but it’s gotta be the local cuisine when you’re visiting somewhere new, right?"At least she seems eager to make it up to us for the drama with Stars!
>>6111290+1we must acquire frendship
>>6110783>>6110783Thanks. Proably a good idea to get to the Tide Song together. not super sure how to get there from here. streets become different at nightwanted to post yesterday... but was banned due to dynamic IP getting me a ban from over 2 years back. forgot that i had a phone. :/
>>6111751>>6111699>>6111290>>6110783>Sorry everyone. And I know that ban feel."Oh! I know where it is! I'll come over sometime around 10 if that's ok?" She asks. You agree and head back to the Hotel with some leftover soup. When you get back you send out your Pokemon and they seem really amazed with Darmanitan. Darmanitan for his part happily flexes his arms. And nearly breaks the coffee table. "Hey! Be careful! Your big now." You say. You order some room service for your Pokemon and stare out the balcony for a while. >Any last minute stuff or you guys ok with next day?
>>6113149Hmm, a quick movie with the pokemons to relax after another day of grinding before moving to next day?
>>6113149Go out after dinner since we likely still have an hour or two left and play some games with our pokemon.Then skip to next day
>>6113388>>6113384>>6113149>Will respond tonight.
>>6113149>>6113384>>6113388>>6113388>>6113388>>6114446>Sorry everyone. Okay lets do this. I'll be using>>6113384>Since it was first.After watching a "Brycen-man" movie and your Pokemon settling in you get a knock on your door. Its Mallow. Its decently late. "Oh hey I...um...I brought you some food." She holds up a bag. Mallow seems awkward. And nervous. She steps in. "Oh yeah my Pokemon are asleep so I guess I'll just..." Then she presses against you...and...>The next morning...Mallow steps out of the room as she kisses you on the cheek. "Wow that was...really really awesome. I don't know what it is but you have this...magnetic pull." She giggles. "Its really amazing.">Reactions or we moving on?
Rolled 67 (1d100)>>6115681"Must be my reaction to Alola. Things are pretty good out here. See ya later"seee her off. have a bit of breakfast. and start GRINDING again. The battle Arena was nice last time. maybe we can meet someone there that wants to have some more private session. or we stumble on more plot directions.
Rolled 56 (1d100)>>6115728+1 And rolling not to spill pasta
