Yes, Gray Fish is Feebas. I'm looking forward to fall semester, when I can get back into the swing of things for PTA. |

Oh god, you're going to give the GM IDEAS. We're already dealing with gym leaders who are based off the assassin's from No More Heroes! |

So, our GM is an evil bastard of a genius. We'd recently gotten to an island city that has a lot of ruins, and descended into them to find a being known as the "Sage Lucario" to help Vael's character gain some control over the empathic abilities that had, rather violently, manifested recently. Our GM has us roll Perception checks to see if we encounter pokemon, and on a Nat 20 we can run into one of a number of "Swarm" pokemon outside of a swarm. Now, while the ruins themselves had no Swarm pokemon, the waters around the island did. We came across a Lapras, seemingly asleep on the shore of an underground pool. Closer inspection showed that she was gravely wounded, and as we watched, she woke up and shifted slightly. She had a clutch of eggs. We tried everything to help her, but she was fading fast, and had been poisoned with something... new. And incredibly virulent. It reacted badly to a standard Antidote. That's when we noticed a dead body floating in the water. Wearing a Cipher uniform. My character searched the body, trying to see if there was an antidote of some kind. Instead, all I found were some notes in a waterproof pouch. The poison they'd used on the Lapras was synthetic, and had no known antidote. And the plan had been to kill the mother, and then take the eggs and attempt to transform the babies within into Shadow Pokemon In Utero. We all pretty much lost it. What's worse is that whatever Shadow pokemon the Cipher mook had appear to have escaped either into the Ruins or out to sea. Edited by Lockdown, May 1 2013, 11:45 AM.

And that was on top of the Unown Army, and the Metagross Collective. At one point this happened, after my character ran head first into a pair of Metagross, and a couple of beldum and metang. Then asked for an audience to negotiate a partnership with one of them.

I'd also say that the Unown Army bit was also really, really insane:
...I swear, I can't really take Alex anywhere anymore. |

So, in a game unrelated to the one above, I'm in a trainer battle. The opposing Trainer had just had his Vulpix use Roar on my Horsea. I sent out my Onix instead. He swaps in a Mankey, which my character hadn't encountered before. I order a Bind. Yeah, not my brightest move ever. The Trainer orders his Mankey to Low Kick Onix. He. Misses. I immediately recall the Onix and send out my Tangela. Sure it's not the most unique situation, but I very nearly killed my own pokemon. I have had the weirdest luck in that game too. |

So I'm currently involved in an incredibly human-centric campaign - MAs in particular, using their entire stat for damage in addition to everything else. It's had its ups and downs, particularly when these giant min-maxed hulks swarmed us with Close Combats and Giga Impacts from their Slaking. It's a shock we haven't died yet, really. Plenty of memorable moments have come out of this campaign, from a corruption mechanic. (Which benefits humans a good deal more than Pokemon, sliding the human bias a bit further...) Basically there're these red trees/roots/what have you that have been researched and reproduced over the past four hundred years, enhancing the abilities of humans and Pokemon alike, but also making them ENTIRELY dependent on eating more and more in order to survive. It's really late by now and the remaining PCs and most of our Pokemon have been corrupted. A particularly intense chase scene happened when this guy, a gym leader named Thor, was pursuing myself in a high-speed air chase with his Corrupted Aerodactyl, me on my freshly-evolved Dragonite until I realized he was actually faster than it. (20 Sky to Dragonite's 16!) The battle which followed was a combination of an INSANE amount of luck on my part and the sheer fortune of barely outspeeding him in my own corrupt form. (23 Sky, I had wings during that chase) Even though Thor's carefully-broken ability made him resist all, yes, ALL physical damage, he had upwards of 380 HP, 88 attack, obscene defenses, and 30 speed (again just barely below my own) a lucky burn on the part of my Dragonite whittled him down enough such that he HAD to fall back - this was after said Dragonite had tanked a crit stone edge on behalf of the Aerodactyl, thanks to Multiscale. He did his hat proud on that day. Did I mention he had a hat? Reaching tl;dr status here so I'll stop, suffice it to say that this isn't a campaign I'll forget. |

Kind of a meta moment, but I just finished my first campaign. One of my players, previously, asked if he could do my plot for his own game. It's...so flattering that he'd do that.
