Chim

*coughWhydoyouthinkItoldpeopletobefriendLanaandaskedforbirthdayscough* Also I have to postpone the next update until tomorrow. There might be another option to poke Slade and Robert but I need to work it out some more. I did found some roles for Evan's team:

First I'm going to talk about it with Jory since he volunteered months ago. I plan to sort out the details with him first and go from there. It's all to increase the quality of this RP because my own work is frustrating me. I'm currently focusing on Slade and Robert but they dodged the bullet too easy.

I'm going with the ban. There are other ways to pull some BS and OHKO's with Fissure using the maximum dodge rule. Also important update! 2 or 3 days ago I removed Tses and Snap's characters. There are still enough players left, but Snap was a co-host. In the past I appointed them because there were a lot of discussions and some situations when I was asleep. Now that I'm working irregular hours I've been thinking about the role of the co-host and my own. Now Jory is still here and I already contacted him since this is about increasing the co-hosts responsibilities. I originally gave Snap and Jory permission to update when I wasn't around, but they (almost) never did. I don't know if it was because of bad communication or something else but from now on I want to use that again. My work has been getting in the way in the weekends and it doesn't look like it will change anytime soon. The pace of this RP died down a little, partly because of that, and partly because I'm running out of inspiration. No, it's not writers block since I have no problems updating in the YGO RP, but I've been rewriting this story over and over again (and postponed things xD) but lately not everything is going as planned. I lost the document about Galen's first mission and can't really remember what I wanted to achieve with it so right now I'm stalling. I'm doing the same with those grass types. I made this chapter to introduce the system and how the Ymora League works but other things got shoved back. Madame Plumeau was supposed to have already made an appearance by approaching one of the coordinators, the Breloom was made up on the spot and I used it to keep Robert busy without a vision. Normally everything I do has a reason and lately those things have been lacking. I'm also not happy with the way I played Veronica (I keep typing Victoria for some reason...) anyway, she was supposed to be like Phoebe before her true colors showed. Ryan just managed to push the right buttons because I didn't hid them well enough. The thing is that when it comes to this RP I'm stuck. I have spent so much time in this that I can't see to come up with new things. Take Chapter 4; I'm completely clueless how to make things smooth when it comes to RoG. It's like there's a wall in front of me and instead of running face first into it and crash; I postpone it and avoid contact which is the same as standing still. So this is where the co-host comes in. From here on out I'm increasing the co-hosts responsibilities behind the scenes. I will allow said person to update but most of all; I need his / her input. I'm going to poke the brain of my co-host for advice and maybe even new events, new NPCs, new movesets for existing NPCs... to increase this RPs quality and involvement for every character since I'm currently lacking in these areas. If Jory accepts this; it's solved (he has first choice) but if he doesn't want to do it I hope one of the others players is willing to help me out. In case Jory refuses there are a few options to increase your chances; 1) PM DarkLight and tell her exactly how awesome Vaporeon is compared to Jolteon. Make a printscreen and show it to me. 2) Tell me your reason and vision when it comes to this RP. (this one is kinda important) 3) Calm me down whenever I go nuts again because I'm on edge when it comes to certain players due to certain experiences in the past. Some benefits; - Your input / ideas can be used as future events. - You're allowed to control the NPCs. (Including Alvin <3) yes, I'm aware this guy, Redwood, Phoebe and Tyron need some more attention and I need to show them why they are how they are. Alvin's backstory is supposed to shine through in Chapter 4. Kristen should get some development in 3. - You have the same authority as me. - You have permission to call me Chim instead of referring to me as Boss, Savior, My Emporer, ... Despite the jokes I'm being serious here. I really could use the help. Jory, I'm not pressuring you. If you can't / don't want to do it, that's fine. I just made this post so people know what's going on and give them the chance to think about getting a bigger role in this RP

((Jack and Luna)) Is that girl with me? What girl? Lane wasn't aware he brought someone with him and turned around, only to see his classmate Luna. "Oh hey, what are you doing here?" So she was the one with him... With him? His brain almost immediately connected the dots in a wrong way. “SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!” the blond suddenly blurted out.

((Important action activate!)) After a 15 to 20 minute drive with the bus, Lane finally got off and was dislocated for a minute. He usually didn't hang around this part of the city and initially took the wrong turn. It took him another few minutes to realize that mistake and ending up at the Bootleg. The young rebel admired the front of the pub before heading in. So thirsty...

I'm probably going to do the Important Action thingy as well. I just wanted to give people a chance to talk to Lane as he wasn't paying attention if familiar faces were around. And I just got back from work so didn't have time to post earlier.

Yup. That's why I chose the Heracross even though you can use the water to your advantage. Well it guarantees a OHKO... And I remember I said you can dodge maximum twice in a row if there's an inaccurate move. So that would mean you can use Fissure 3 times and win the battle due to guaranteed knock-out...

Updates are coming tomorrow. I want to give Murdoc a chance to reply and see what the people around Jacob and Mareek decide to do. Btw OHKO moves are banned.

((Anyone heading towards the pub)) Lane's attention was completely absorbed by the empty card. He still couldn't remember where or when he got it. Without watching his step he made his way towards the busstop and soon found himself underway to Central Square. After one last glance at the empty card, he realized it was rather warm on the bus and he started to get thirsty. He reached for the bottle of water in his bag but didn't have enough left to quench his thirst. There was only one option left for the young rebel; enjoy his freedom and pay a visit to the famous Bootleg. A small grin formed on his face as he imagined his parents faces if they found out he visited a pub.

I think I'm going to use the bus option to get there. Anyone else going to that pub?

Exactly how far is the school from the center? I'm color blind so I can't really see that red circle you mentioned.

Lana is just going to follow so I'm going to wait before updating that situation. Also Devin is already moving around and not where the hosts are. You can catch him inside the Arena. I might give Evan a Torterra instead of Tangrowth. I really want to give him a ground type but I already gave Lana a Turtwig...

Commander where do you want our characters to meet up? I was thinking about sending Lane to the pub.

Lane was confused. He kept silent as he watched Miss Reinier leave. Apparently she did take her job seriously after all if she came all the way to the cafetaria just to scold him. The young rebel shrugged it off and was about to return to Arthur's table when he noticed blue haired boy was no longer there. Lane sighed. Might as well head towards the next class. I should keep a low profile with Miss Reinier watching me. I don't want her to call my parents and make everything worse. He was about to leave when he noticed the empty duel monsters card. Weird. Where did it come from? Lane had no memory recalling he had it previously... The blond held the card on eye level and tried to recall how he got it, only to be met with a serious headache. I guess it was a long day. I'll figure this card out later.

I only gave some suggestions. It's up to Zerron to decide what he eventually wants to use. I just think the ones I suggested suit Mareek best as far as Ice types go.

DarkLight and Commander Lana was shocked and unable to say anything. She hardly heard Henry asking Danielle something as she muttered: “Evan wouldn't do such a thing...” The girl's mumbling was just loud enough for Danielle and Henry to hear. Zephyr Breloom looked over his shoulder and back to Raiza. He slowly shook his head in the most suspicious way, but before the student could ask anything else, her battle against Alvin was being announced. TurboAura A sudden crash could be heard not far from Tyron's waiting room. If Robert decided to check it out he could see Raiza and a Breloom close to the rubble. Hosts (Zephyr, Jory, Zerron, Azery) “Water field again! I guess we don't need to wait for the fields to settle then,” Brand said slightly disappointed. He hoped to show off most of the new fields before Marco would shop up again. In the meantime Devin whispered something against Professor Redwood who just nodded in response. The Elite Four Member nodded and made his way into the corridors of the Arena. Redwood watched as his old friend left before turning his attention back to Alvin and his Heracross who were waiting for Raiza to show up. Murdoc, Tacos, Dobby Veronica smirked at Ryan and Kage's anger. “I didn't attack anyone unlike your Spheal who attacked me directly. Ludicolo defended me on his own accord. So you two better watch your language and attitude or else I'm really going to-” “Shut it Veronica!” Phoebe glared. It was unusual for her to get angry or involved when students were in trouble. “We may be childhood friend and I know you tried to joke with the entire water versus grass thing, but now you're taking it too far. I won't let you threaten my students in front of me.” Her hand went towards her belt, aiming for Blastoise's Pokéball. Veronica glared back. “You wouldn't dare,” she hissed, “You're students are the ones who started it and they need to be taught a lesson; something you obviously failed at.” Despite the trash talk her guard was up. She was well aware about Phoebe's reputation. The water type expert was considered to be the strongest trainer that wasn't affiliated with the League and her strength was on par with the Elite Four, despite two of them having the type advantage over her. “No, I wouldn't release Blastoise if you went after one of them,” she nodded towards the three students still with them. “You know which one I'm going to pick if you do.” A quick release followed and Blastoise did show up after all. “Hey buddy, we've got a troublemaker. Mind giving me that stone, just in case?” The giant water turtle obeyed and gave Phoebe the stone he was wearing around his neck. Apparently it wasn't a Blastoisenite... The tension in the air rose and so far Claude was the only one with a little bit of sense left. Maybe he could try to stop them?

Nope, I decided to be mean and use Heracross.

Meh the randomizer refuses to give me fields 6 and 7... I got water again. Forest would've been good since it's Alvin vs Raiza now xD @Zerron: Depends on what you've planned with Aurorus. You can also combine the ice type slot with the eeveelution idea. Personally I think Glaceon or Avalugg would fit Mareek.

I had to go to work before I was able to update everything. For now you can bunny Lana and let her tag along.

Lane's a rebel, screw Utopia I haven't really scrolled down the list of number cards (except for the ones that were mentioned) and so far I'm only interested in numbers 61 and 66. Those puppets that were an option to end up with were also on that list. (They were the ones I was aiming for tbh)

Oh great the only number I'm interested in has to be the hardest... But seeing my deck suggestions I don't think I can use too many of them very often since Utopia and his variants are supposed to end up with Lane.

((Anna)) Lane stared straight back into Anna's eyes. There was something fascinating about that strange golden color... Only when Miss Reinier told him to draw a card from her deck, which confused him a lot, he stopped staring. “I never considered myself a hero or to be decent ant dueling, but if you like anime so much you know a window is practically the same as a door!” he grinned. “But sure, I won't draw any attention.” His hand had already moved to Miss Reinier's deck without him realizing it as he wondered why he felt excited just to draw a silly card. It wasn't like the carnival where he would win a prize for drawing the right one. With a swift movement he managed to grab a card, looked at it, and showed it to his new teacher. “Fool of Prophecy. So what do you want me to do with this card now?

Giga Drain. Most of Veronica's Pokémon either carry Giga Drain or Synthesis to recover their health back.

If everyone goes along with Jacob's plan there's a possibility to speak to Devin sooner. I have left the option open for either him or Redwood to go look for Marco who's been missing since the special fields were introduced.

TurboAura and Commander “I see, so nothing but positive feedback from the first people to test the fields. Well I'm sure Brand would be glad to know that,” Franck gently smiled, “But if you want to excuse me now, I'm going to expand my research. It's important if we want to implement these fields in the Ymora League itself. Take care, Henry, Robert, I'm sure we'll meet again.” The Old Champion left Tyron's waiting room, even though Tyron had been cheering in the middle of the crowd since the start, and took the Shiftry with him. The grass type glared at Robert one last time before following his trainer's grandfather. Waiting room (Dobby, Murdoc, Tacos) Veronica sighed at Slade's opinion. “Why are all your students so boring? You got a serious one that walks away from discussions (Slade), an arrogant brat who thinks he's something while he's obviously not (Ryan) and a guy I don't even know what to respond to since he's using logic (Kage). The only one that even comes close to be considered entertainment is the one with the grass type,” she said to Phoebe. During her rant the Elite Four Member was well aware about Glacien's movements but ignored the ice type. Instead the Ludicolo moved over in an instant and stopped the ice attack with his bare hand, or something that looked like it, and glared at the little Pokémon in front of him before quickly draining almost all it's energy. “Hmpft, for an arrogant smart-ass your Pokémon sure is dumb. I said people underestimate ice types just like they do to grass types, you know, the type I specialize in? And since ice types have an advantage over mine, I would never be so stupid to let my guard down against them. So before you try and start to give me lectures, teach your Pokémon some manners. And just so you know; I would take personal pleasure into smacking annoying kids like you around. People call me the most unpredictable Elite Four Member but I'm also the one with the worst temper so watch your mouth carefully, little boy.” Zerron (Galen) “Yeah yeah, alright,” Pierre said uninterested. “Boring mission if you ask me so are you doing now that thing is sleeping?” He observed Sarah and the Zoroark but had no idea what was going on. “I'd say leave the thing alone and come back when it's awake. We don't even know where the other 3 are so the sooner we wrap this up the better. I'm getting bored and I don't like forests, too many ugly things hide in here...” he smirked at Galen when making his last statement.
