Stuck as a Pokémon (a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon adventure)

[Dar'Joras]

>well that sucks
...Hey isn't that a Yamask over there? I heard they'll be born when a human dies.

Species: Axew
Name: Murdoc
Gender: Male
Quirk: Murdoc works at the library and thinks of knowledge as something that is not given.
He is a Bookworm and knows every single book that there is in the library and enjoys to tlk about books as well.
Even thought he is usally quite SERIOUS most of the time about nearly every situation he does tend to sometimes loseing his focus on things.
his nature is Serious-

[Wessolf27]

This Pokemon town looks a lot more modern than the previous ones we've seen. Hrm, I wonder if technology progressed here?

>David: Be sure to talk with everyone, but maybe after talking to that Yamask you can talk to the owner of the library, see what they've got over there. Might be good to check up on the Kecleon Mart as well.

Alright, let's do this.

Species: Duosion
Name: Emily & Amelia (or "Mels")
Gender: Female (le duh?)
Quirk: The only thing her minds can agree upon is that they hate each other. (Well, okay, not literally the only thing.)
Was going to random number god her natures but it kept giving me combinations I didn't like so I just went GENTLE(Emily) and SASSY(Amelia).
was also going to write more but an hour later and nothin's comin' so WWHATEVVER, it's already enough to be interest.

[Killer-Squirtle]

> Complain about money and sylladices

Species: Oshowatt
Name: Konata
Gender: Female
Quirk: She's quirky to be sure. In fact, that's her nature. She's a total Maverick and doesn't know when to fold. She'll get into fights with guys three times her size and just laugh like a maniac. Most people thinks she's insane, but she's just trying to get stronger. Fortunately she can back up her reckless behavior with a crap-ton of charisma and sometimes flirtatious antics.

[Also, isn't it a bit weird that someone who was once human was hitting on a pokemon?]

Next update is going to get them to the guildhouse gates, so any further town-related suggestions will be saved for later. It's not as if they'll never be back here or anything.

On the subject of submitted Pokémon OCs, I've got all the members of Stunfisk's and Cobalion's guilds figured out by now (The four two-member teams at Cobalion's guild follow a definite theme, as does one four-member team that operates through Stunfisk's guild). But I guess I can accept them for other roles and occupations? Like, the library worker was a good idea. Don't go overboard, though, as I'm trying to (mostly) keep to a one per species limit.

Also it looks like this finally qualifies to exit the Cradle. I think I want to wait until we've reached some more benchmarks (like the official registration of our heros' team) before requesting a thread move. I'm annoyed at how long it's taking, but I'm the one who should be updating more.

> David: Talk to the other Pokémon in town.



Did that really happen?

I'm telling you man, it's so real. Dreams are like miracles.

Dream Smoke, man.

**What's Dream Smoke?

It's like this miracle that makes you have these visions all up in the Pokémon Dream World where your heart's at.

Hey, David! What are you doing?

Stop talking to random stoners and get back here!

> David: Ask the Yamask about being a human.



**Excuse me, but were you once a human?

No, that's a common misconception PokŽémon have about us. I'm not any more human than you or anyone else.

**Oh...

**I just saw your mask and thought—

Back when survey teams were less about renovating the region and more about exploration, teams came and stored all sorts of interesting artifacts with me.

While it's difficult to find any actual proof of humans living in the past, there are many writings and depictions of them that are of archaeological significance.

What I'm holding is a only replica of one of these said artifacts, but I made it myself!

You like it?

[Wessolf27]

>Just nod and smile.

Eh, I should probably add one of my own.

Species: Darumaka
Name: Matty
Gender: Male
Quirk: He's one of the aides in the local storage warehouse, he's rather peppy, and he loves to chatter with the customers, much to the displeasure of his boss. He's of a JOLLY nature, and he's pretty dependable. He could also be found in the local Pokemon cafe when he's on his off hours. Loves Leppa Shakes like crazy.

[PinkMawile]

> Wonder what kind of government exists, and why it requires people being registered with groups to help others.

^agreed

btw my character for fun
Species: Joltik
Name: Biri
Gender: Female
Quirk: Due to her timid nature, she tends to be alone strays away from crowds. On the other hand, she loves to talk to her gardens and the near-by forest. Her abilities to make flowers grow have shocked even the best Lilligant gardener jealous. Though unofficial, the town folk have deem Biri to their top town gardener, with some denial from Biri that is.

>David: Stroke mask.

[Pyral Spinneret]

> Samuel: Get this show on the road.



Alright, enough lingering around. This doesn't need to take all day.

> ==>



Bleh, I forgot how much I hate the feel of the sidewalk on my feet!

**I don't notice anything...

I just need to walk on the dirt alongside it for a while.

Please don't wander off? It's not much further.

> ==>



Here's the guild.

**Hm...

> ==>



**How do we get in?

Holy crap, I leave for two months (school crap, this semester has been brutal) and like three other Pokémon adventures pop up that actually look interesting. I'll have to read them all and maybe start actually suggesting stuff to other adventures. Though, I do get irrationally anxious/jealous that some of them are trying to do the same thing I eventually will be... got to get over that. And draw more.

[Kíeros]

> Walk forward bravely. There is no chance either of you could ever be rejected.

[Wessolf27]

>Squeeze in (/jk :P)

>Ask if Sam knows anyone from the Guild.

Behold, an update that's actually within a day of the last one. Within the last six hours, too! The art is suffering a little bit for that, but, hey, nine image update.

> Advance.



It looks like they've remodeled since I last came by here...

**Do you know anyone from the guild?

There's a Tynamo I see at the library pretty often, who is part of a team who works through here. She's pretty on top of things, but I don't know what her teammates are like.


> ==>



Pokémon detected! Pokémon detected!


Stranger, please stand on the white plate and submit your footprint for species analysis!

> Samuel: Walk forward bravely.


> ==>


> ==>



The footprint is Snivy's! The footprint is Snivy's!

> ==>



Approved!


Stranger! There is another Pokémon with you! Get that Pokémon's foot on the plate!

> ==>


> ==>



The footprint is maybe Snivy's, maybe—

Wait, not good enough!

> ==>



Our state of the art footprint detection technology has a false positive rate of 0.02 percent!

Stranger, you are almost certainly not a Snivy! State your identity at once!

The Pokémon at Stunfisk's Guild are a combination of suggestions (thank you!) and my own choices. The team consisting of Archen, Tynamo, Sandile, and Petilil isn't going to show up often, but you will see shortly why I decided to add them.

Dewott, who is doing sentry duty, for example, is a taken suggestion (though Oshawott was suggested, I like drawing Dewott more).

[Wessolf27]

>David: Guess you need to shed that illusion now.

[littlebeasti]

> David: Can you even do that normally? Are you going to have to punch yourself or something?

>...alternatively, you could just say you're a zorua, but what fun is that.

[Pyral Spinneret]

> David: Undo illusion.



You're trying! But you have no idea how to do that, or if it even can be done. Your Ability turned itself on the moment you joined a Team, after all.

> ==>







Well then. That... you... definitely both LOOK like Snivy, but the footprint detector reports otherwise, and technology doesn't lie.

Are you a shape shifter? Are you trying to sneak a Ditto in here?

Let's find out.

> ==>




I'm a hu—

(A human! Wait, no, now I'm not...)

> ==>




He's a Zorua.

Give me a moment to check the database.

...

Approved!

Sorry about that! As the guild's sentry, I have to be strict about the footprint identification ever since that decree forbidding any Pokémon from the Shrasia Region from entering public Crosscro institutions. Welcome!

Now, what is your business with Stunfisk's Guild?

I wanted to add more content than just this, but animating that stupid door opening was trickier than I thought (turned out I needed to rotate them using the vanishing point
as a center, which was unintuitive). If I don't get any more suggestions within a few hours, expect to see an update in a few hours that has them entering the building. And more dialogue portraits.

[Yamtaggler]

>Trainees, we want to be them!

[Wessolf27]

>We want to join Stunfisk's guild!

[littlebeasti]

> We want the guild to join us!
> Wait, scratch that, reverse it.

[Vanilla-Shaken]

Attack...I mean join the guild.
