so i just joined these boards, allow me to open up with a story of my own of a session i had recently i've been playing a bit here and there with a couple of my friends. one of the gals i'm playing with, she's currently an ace trainer, martial artist (reckless style), and type ace (flying). her character is a 12 year old masked wrestler, wearing her own home-made hawlucha-themed luchador costume, known as La Grajilla (spanish for The Jackdaw, a type of rather awesome bird). so, obviously, it would have been a bit overkill to have her with a hawlucha as a starter when the other players are picking more reasonable underdogs like growlithe and sandshrew... but i knew, too, that she couldn't just catch a hawlucha the mundane way. nah, it needed to be good. so for a while, i'd had her hearing rumors about a wandering hawlucha. folks mentioning a hawlucha swooping down to rescue folks from rocket goons with a gnarly moonsault from the trees, dashing in with an amazing clothesline, or planting 'em with a german suplex. i was building up that there was a hawlucha out there, single handedly trying to take on team rocket - a mission the players were also on. so already, my friend was excited, she wanted to befriend this hawlucha. and that's exactly what i had in mind... but she'd have to prove her worth. and there's only one way to prove your worth to a hawlucha. so finally, while dealing with some rocket goons, the hawlucha appeared to help the good guys out. this was my friend's chance to try and catch it - she threw a pokeball, but the hawlucha caught it, and shook his head. he waved for her to follow, and she did. she followed him for a bit, until they came to a clearing with a full sized wrestling ring just conveniently located in it. she was going to have to win this hawlucha's respect in the ring. of course, it wouldn't be a proper wrestling match without a referee, but thankfully there was a friendly machop eager to count the falls. the match went on for a while, it was both hilarious and awesome, with both my friend and i calling and describing lots of great action. the other two players decided to take up the job of calling the match as announcers, and it just made it even more hysterical. finally, after a few good near falls from both sides, i decided it would make for a more interesting ending if the hawlucha went over, and had the geodude count the 1-2-3 on a pinfall against my friend. the hawlucha celebrated his victory for a bit, then went over and pulled la grajilla up off the mat, and handed her back the pokeball he'd caught earlier, nodding to her that he was ready to be her tag team partner. and if you think her character is crazy, one of the other players is playing as an officer jenny who has somehow broken free and gained sentience outside of the jenny hivemind due to an encounter she had with missingno. the other player is playing as the son of two members of team aqua, who is secretly trying to revive the gang, and he's trying to play it as straight to the aqua grunt archetype as he can (as in, everyone else has at least a dozen pokemon; he still only has carvahna and zubat) Edited by gatlin, Jul 7 2016, 03:33 AM.

Okay had two this last weekend that were Hilarious.OK so the first one was they were in the mine at Oreburgh City and were trying to figure out why the geodude were going crazy and stopping the miners from doing anything. Well a short while in they get lost and jumped by a bunch of geodude and the Mystic uses zoopathy and starts talking to them. They inform him of that there are "large ones" that are trying to fix them and that they can't be interrupted. Well he can't quite convince the geodude to let them go so they can leave so 2 of the PC's catch a couple and the others are dispatched. They continue on and spot the next ambush well this time he tries to talk to the geodude before it happens and the geodude take him to a large cavern in the mine and there are like 30+ geodude waiting in a line and 2 Carbink are trying to jam crystals into them. (I got the idea from a plot hook post on here don'r remember who it was tho.) The geodude turn and look to see these humans enter into the area and the Mystic drops down so his knees are in his chest and starts talking to them in geodude speak to convince them he is a geodude. He rolls really well and I roll especially bad for them so they believe him. So he starts hopping around and pretending to be a geodude, (his character is a 6ft tall, red headed Irish woman) he then spends the next like 15 or so minutes doing this to figure out whats going on. The breeder of the group goes and stands in line behind him and all the geodude turn and look at him and he attempts to do the same. The they don't buy it from him and the 2 carbink tackle him and knock him out. Then the mystic talks to the carbink and finally convinces them that the geodude are not carbink and they continue along. |

That wrestling bit sounds hysterical. I actually had a dnd game from a while back where we were fighting some goblin mooks in a room with some cages. We had a big warforged one of the goblins pissed off by dodging all his attacks, so he demanded that one be his, and we wiped up all the rest while he took it into one of the cages for a cage match. I, the party's bard, and the dwarf warlock both stood by to commentate on the match as it went on

So, a character of mine has a fire/steel torkoal that knows the move shell trap. (Thank you Pokemon caretaking) Anyway, I pitted him against a buzzwole that was over twice his level. The buzzwole went in for a punch and hit. I declared shell trap and rolled to hit. Nat 20. When the massive plume of fire cleared, my baby torkoal stood on top of a very charred and fainted buzzwole. I couldn't be more proud of my baby torkoal. Edited by Servant of Fate, Jun 7 2018, 03:03 PM.
