Christine, next to you, Bones lets out an odd grunt of satisfaction. He's fiddling with that strange stone you'd given him, which has taken on an extraordinary luster. As you look about to see who needs help, you spot something. There's a light behind you, brighter than the sunlight, and it's casting long sharp shadows.

Bones has begun to glow like a tiny sun, giving off harsh white light as tendrils of energy crackle over his skin. He looses a long, drawn out "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" as his form begins to swell, upward and outwards, the vague outline you can barely make out smoothing and changing. Finally, after several seconds, the light dies down. Bones looks... different. Twice his original size and apparently three times the girth, the ponytail and "waistband" are gone, replaced by odd dreadlock-like crests of hair, and a single pouch containing an egg that's easily the size that Bones just was. "Chansey!" he grunts, his expression still just as disgruntled as ever.

"What...what happened here?" Christine asks, quickly scanning Bones... (it is still Bones, right?) with her VaultDex.

Chansey, the Egg pokemon. Evolved form of Happiny, Normal type. Originally designed as a caretaker for the young and the very elderly, Chansey were redeployed to the battlefield as combat medics and assistants in field hospitals when war broke out. The eggs they create are actually a highly nutritious and delectable form of extruded proteins and fats that develop in their pouches on a daily basis and are edible even when raw. Synching with pokeball. This specimen is using 10% of its full potential.

Amber's attention is far too taken up by the small, sparking critter that's taken residence in her hair. She shivers at the combination of the ticking of something shifting against her neck and the slight sparks of pain that...honestly, barely phase her after years working in the belly of the mechanical systems. She's felt worst pains from scratches on the old metal. She lifts an arm to give it support, patting its back.

"Hey....hey, it's okay. We're good guys. We came to help. You're safe, okay?" She looks around with wide eyes, unsure of what to do now that the small thing is hiding against her. She looks around and flashes a grateful smile as Cecil releases the small creature's...parental figure? Maybe it was adopted? Did...did animals do that?

"Hey, look, I told you he was still here..." She says, trying not to jostle the small creature as she walks towards Cecil and kneels down by the elekid. She licks her lips nervously, vaguely uncomfortable being so close to so many pokemon. The tiny yellow one in her hair didn't /really/ count, even though she knows the sparks should be a harsh reminder--it's hard to think of it as dangerous when it's so obviously an upset baby.

Trying not to move very much, she looks around for Christine and uses her free hand to gesture her over.

"Yeah?" Christine asks, coming over with bones and Clement. "Oh, the little thing's hurt. Hold on a second. I think I can help with this." She pulls a medical kit out of her pack, and begins to treat the electric rodent... hopefully not getting shocked, and addresses her newest patient. "Shh... It'll be all right."

The little mouse looks at Cecil's newest acquisition, who's studying Amber intently. After a long moment, it moves over to where it had crawled out from under the truck, reaches up and into the bumper, retrieving something. Moving back over, he looks at the little mouse, wagging his finger several times and grunting and cooing, before holding out something for Amber to take. It appears to be some kind of bright green, hard-shelled fruit or nut.

What the...?

The mouse lets out another squeak, one that's both sad and understanding, before nestling closer to Amber when given the chance.

Since the mouse seemed to be looking better, Christine tended to Bones, before going to check on the truck. She was pretty sure she'd seen Joe go in. She hoped. "Mister Vargas?" she asked, "Are you all right in there?" Maybe, if she was lucky, there might be some medical supplies...

Tutorial Mode Activated

When Scavanging the wastes, there comes a time when you need to buckle down and really put the nose to the old grindstone and find any little scrap of useful material left over.

When Scrounging in an area, you roll your Perception+the relevant skill (Intuition or Survival for Food Scrap, Edu Tech for technical scrap, and Edu Medicine for medical scrap). The result then has a multiplier added to it based on how well picked over the area is (and as applied by the GM). The Multiplier table is:
Barren: x5 (Supermarkets and other well-known pre-war sources of supplies, unless they have security)
Searched: x10 (Anything on a Caravan Route or near a settlement.)
Once-Overed: x20 (Your average subway.)
Untouched: x30 (Your average tunnel or mostly-unused, ghoul-infested subway)
Well-Stocked: x40 (A seasoned Wastelander's stash, or a well-secured pre-war supermarket)
Gold Mine: x50 (A government base, still protected by their security)

The end result is the amount of usuable scrap you find for that search.

Amber accepts the nut, blinking owlishly. She holds it with her free hand. Maybe it's the yellow pokemon's snack or something? She'll bring it out later, maybe. For now she slips it into her pocket, then turns her attention to the cuddly little yellow creature.

"I think your friend is going to come with us. You could too, if you want. They're all pretty nice, even Cecil," She says quietly. She hesitates for a moment, before pulling on of the balls out of her pocket and staring at it. The elekid didn't seem to be hurt from the ball...and it was less dangerous than letting a wild animal roam wild with them... There was something in her that felt a little sick as she held it out, though, and she couldn't help but think of how /different/ the pokemon tended to be after they were caught. Was she erasing who this one was, by doing this?

"Just tap this, if you want. You don't have to, though. Nobody will make you."

Bunnie scans her newly caught Pokemon, and lets it out of the Pokeball.

"Dang girl, you're looking like you want to have a good time."

Miss Maples begins to start looking through the truck, almost as if there were something there before that had her attention.

"Whatcha got there little thing?"
