Kylar:

As you sit and watch the cookie, Knuckles returns and waves for you to follow him. He has the scent. He leads you along a couple residential streets and down an alley. He points at some purple fur poking out from behind a dumpster.

#I'll wait for Ziggy and Jonathan to get a chance to chat with the Professor before moving that forward. Kylar can work on his side quest meanwhile.

Even if it wasn't Pooky, Knuckles could use the practice. Kylar kneels down and draws up the plan with hand gestures for Knuckles. Knuckles takes the hint and sneaks past the object unheard to cut off its escape. Once in place, Kylar approaches using a cat call, "Here, Pooky Pooky, Pooky.

Kylar:

As you call her name, Pooky's head pops out from behind the dumpster. But when she sees you, she remembers the times Knuckles tormented her before and let's out a hiss.

It takes you a moment to realize the purple fur you saw is a slightly different shade than the cat. A rat Pokemon also appears from behind the dumpster and gives Pooky a loving nuzzle before turning toward you angrily.

"Raaaaattata!" He appears to be pumping himself up.

Kylar non chalantly grabs the pokedex, and turns to everyone, "I'll meet you guys over there. I saw a flyer about our neighbors stupid cat. I'm gonna have Knuckles track it down since he is always harassing it anyway" Kylar looks at Ziggy and laughs slightly, "Remember when Knuckles tracked Pooky down last time" before anyone can stop him, Kylar and Knuckles are out the door with the pokedex.

He turns to Knuckles, "Sniff out Pooky, Knuckles and lead the way" The two head toward the PokeCenter with Knuckles out front.

Being used to Kylar's abrupt exits and lack of social graces I laugh and wave goodbye after him. Taking stock of the situation (and still waking up), Ziggy finds himself with the old professor and these two strangers and realizes it is once again his job to smooth over the social mess that Kylar created and left behind. He takes the pokedex ("pokedex, that's what it was called!") from the professor he is finally aware of and says "Oh yeah, I found old metalhead by the power plant. He is great at all that electric stuff... makes some wicked distortions for my guitar too (guitar wail). Anyway, Kylar is always showing me cool stuff he found in the area. I don't know anything about that stuff but I know the way there." Ziggy looks up his new little pokemon in the computer "Ah, you're a Whismur. I guess that's why you say 'Whismur' all the time" he said oblivious to the incredulous stares of the more educated people around him.

Suddenly, Ziggy became aware of the two strangers standing next to him again. Turning to the small well dressed man (Tristan) he says "You don't look like you're from around here, those sure are some clothes! Name's Ziggy". Where you expected a handshake or some such formality to follow, instead Ziggy just lets into a dramatic 30 second guitar solo to emphasize his name.

Charm [result]15&5:1:3,3d6,6,15&3d6+6[/result]

When he is finally done, he flashes a disarming smile, grabs your hand, and shakes it(oblivious to your judgement and confusion). Without really waiting for a response he turns to the other stranger (Jonathan). "As you may have heard, I'm Ziggy" and continues the involuntary hand shaking as the two strangers exchange discreet confused glances. "You look like you traveled a ways to get here too, most folks around here don't have your kind of money. Maybe you've heard of me though? I'm a pretty big up-and-coming rock star in this town(guitar wail)". Ignoring your blank stare he continues "Anyway, you two seem like alright people. I can totally show you the power plant, everyone in town knows where that is! As long as you don't expect me to know how that shit works" he said, laughing. There is no doubt in either of the strangers minds that this is a... unique... individual. At the same time, they can't help but be a little caught up in his energy and charm.

#oops, that should be 'he' instead of 'I' in that first sentence. Still getting used to role playing in the 3rd person

"Jonathan." He manages to keep his voice even over the throttling of his arm and the crushing of the bones in his fingers and looks for sympathy from the only other civilized person there.

Once his person is finally free from violent harassment, Jonathan considers the problem for a moment.

"Professor, is it a matter of the power plant unable to handle your load? Or is there a bad connection somewhere?"

He picks up the pokedex and examines it for a moment. It looks...well, he could probably make one like that, too.

Jon, Tristan, Ziggy:
The Professor looks utterly bewildered by the music Ziggy is playing, being about four decades out of touch. But then he looks proud of himself for putting two and two together. "Ohhh, you're Jeramiah, Linda Trax's boy! Ah yes, I've visited the PokeCenter once or twice while you happened to be playing your, uh, music. She was wise to sign you up for a Pokedex."

He clears his throat and looks mainly at Tristan and Jonathan, who look like the detail oriented people in this group. "Based on my diagnostics, it doesn't appear to be a problem in the connection, or that we're overloading them. It must be that the generator is down. They're understaffed up there, they might not have even noticed," he grumbled.

Professor Fir can tell Jonathan is a little disappointed by the Pokedex. "Don't you worry son. You'll be mighty impressed once it has my software on it. I am the head of my field for a reason."

"I also saw that you were looking for a research scientist in Pokemon Energy. What sort of research are you doing, if you don't mind my asking?"

"I also saw that you were looking for a research scientist in Pokemon Energy. What sort of research are you doing, if you don't mind my asking?"
The Professor swells with joy that someone is interested in his research and takes a deep breath. "Well you see, I research Pokemon Energy. I'm sure you know that Pokeballs work by converting PokeMatter into pure PokeEnergy. It's the same mechanisms that allows Pokemon to be deposited into a PC and keeps them in stasis. It's also what allows Pokemon to learn moves from TMs!" he rambled. "We just received funding for a side project on how Electric type Pokemon may cause minor interference with these processes. However, the research scientist position was supposed to be for someone who'd be staying in lab, and you'll be leaving..."

He thinks for a moment. "Well, we did need an intern to collect field samples, and you'll be heading to the Power Plant... Would you like a position as a traveling field intern? All you'd have to do is catch Electric Pokemon, write up a small report, send it via the Pokedex - well, once my software is on it - and I can compensate you. Relative to the finding, of course. Money doesn't grow on trees in science."

#You would have to catch a new electric type and then do an Edu Tech check to write a report, a combination of rarity and your skill check will decide your reward

Kylar realizes he had a good setup and everyone could use a smooth rat like this one to their advantage. "Knuckles, Get him from behind and I'll hit him from the front".

Kylar grabs a small garbage can and smashes the rodent with it.

Kylar uses Rock Smash

Knuckles uses Scratch
