The Boss looks you in the eye the entire time you speak, seeming to be trying to divine the truth of your words. By the time you’re done, the look in her eyes have weakened a bit, though by no means died off. It seems like she believes you for now. “Alright, I’ll take you at your word for now. Then I’ll start you on your first task: Attack Samuel. Here and now.” Sam jumps back in surprise as she gives you your order, as shocked about it as you are. Will you actually go through with it? Or disobey the order given to you?
Route 102:JacksonSpoiler (click to show/hide):
You’re much less lucky this time around, finding the much less exotic variety of Zigzagoons and Poochyenas in the grass. You can challenge one of them if you want, or you can move into the next town.
Route 104:VivianSpoiler (click to show/hide):
With neither of you willing to move to get out of the way, the woman crashes into you, releasing a rather loud shriek of surprise and pain as she goes tumbling over you, the gun going flying out of her hands. As quickly as she can, she picks herself back up and scrambles over to her weapon, muttering, “If it isn’t one thing, it’s another today!” to herself. “What does it look like? I’m running away!” Upon taking you in, she seems to perk up a bit. “Some rather pushy people just knocked out all of my Pokémon and were going to go for me, but I got away. No one seemed interested in trying their luck with this.” She holds her pistol up to illustrate her point. “I’d be grateful if you could keep me company while I look for some friends to help me out. Rustboro is too dangerous for me right now because those people are still in it.”

Miyu looks at you for a quick second before looking away, not yet ready to take up your offer. At the very least, she’s not outright dismissing it with obvious distain anymore. Behind you, you see Chrys shake her head, muttering “Pervert” softly, almost to herself. You think she may have gotten some of the images running through your head about Roxanne. Alexis coughs to cut through the mood.
“Well, if there isn’t any objections, we’re continuing on to Petalburg to get my 5th badge. There should be a bunch of bug Pokémon for you to train Dusky with along the way and, if you’re lucky, you’ll find a water Pokémon to pad out your team.” She says. Then she looks up in thought for a second. “Now that I think on it, you really need to pad out your team. You’ve got Dusky and Miyu, two Pokémon who are both weak to Water types and do nothing to Rock types until Miyu’s much stronger than she is now. That’s a recipe for disaster against someone like even Roxanne.” Walking to the edge of town, she turns and says, “Anything else you need here?”
Before you can respond, an Officer quickly makes her way to you. “I’m glad I caught you before you left! Here’s a reward for helping out like you did earlier. I’ll admit, some of this was confiscated from those you fought, but they won’t need it.” She hands both you and Alexis a pouch with 4000 PokéYen in it and walks away.
Outside of town, you hear a woman cry out in surprise and pain, but you’re not sure from where.

Nina gives you a numb nod in response to your words before staring off in the distance for a while, obviously deep in her own mind. After what you guess to be 5 minutes, she sighs and releases her grip on Eevee a bit. “She’s right. I even started this journey because I was scared of being in that shop after what happened. I locked up when I saw those Team Magma thugs earlier, I ducked out to find a PokéMart instead of supporting my Pokémon because the battle was becoming too intense for me, I barely heard anything Roxanne said because I was too busy fearing you might agree to it. I’m pathetic.” She says, her tone becoming more and more depressed as she gets things off her chest. She sighs again before releasing Eevee entirely. “I haven’t been acting like me lately. I think I need to change that.”
When you make your suggestion to train against each other, Nina starts a little, almost on the verge of declining out of hand before she masters herself. “Yeah. Yeah, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Where to then?”

In Mauville:MillaSpoiler (click to show/hide):
You make it to the Game Corner without problem, though along the way you see more than a few people openly leering at you with lust in their eyes. Thankfully they didn’t actually do anything besides that. Once inside, you see the place is packed with either gamblers or low-life degenerates overlooking the entire thing. You suppose you could ask around and see what you can find out, but with this many suspicious people hanging around that might be a bad idea. There’s always the option of looking around yourself to see if you can find a lead or anything incriminating, though with your easily recognizable face that carries dangers of its own. Matter of fact, you’re rather surprised that Nurse Joy didn’t mention she knew of you during your conversation. Something might be wrong here or it could be paranoia. Proceed as you will.
In Slateport:Naomi & KobenSpoiler (click to show/hide):
Unprepared for what seemed like an ally turning on him, Koben takes Poliwag’s Splash solidly… or at least would if Splash did anything. As it is, Poliwag sort of wiggles in place uselessly, doing absolutely nothing to its intended target besides annoying or amusing him. “Naomi, we REALLY don’t have time to be fighting among each other right now.” Nurse Joy whispers to the girl, sounding worried. For good reason too as a squad of 6 Team Aqua members burst out of the alley, charging straight towards the gathered group.
Following Koben’s orders, Electrike launches a Thunder Wave attack, though the 3 Aqua members with the quickest reflexes jump out of the way before it connects. The other 3 aren’t so lucky and end up falling to the ground and sliding for a bit as their locked up muscles do nothing to stop their previous momentum. “Oh, you’re going to pay for that. Without a doubt.” The woman from earlier says before blowing into a whistle. Almost instantly, 3 more Team Aqua members pop out of a nearby building. 6-on-2, maybe 3 if Nurse Joy has any fighting Pokémon… not good odds.
On the S.S. Tidal:SkyeSpoiler (click to show/hide):
The Houndour girl is moving almost as soon as you are. Unprepared for an attack on two fronts, the Officer goes down without a problem, easily held down by the brute strength of the PokéMorph. Wait, Officer? It turns out the Houndour girl’s handler is an Officer Jenny, though if she’s in the employ of Team Magma she’s obviously been corrupted. “Beast, what is the meaning of this!?” She demands, though the authoritative tone is slightly ruined by the fear in her voice. While your partner holds her handler down, you easily remove the remote from the Officer’s belt and find the off switch. With one final zap that causes the other woman to flinch, the collar falls off and an evil grin spreads across her face.
“Just revenge, bitch.” She growls as the Officer’s face rapidly pales. “Didn’t I warn you you’d be sorry the second I got out of this collar? Huh?” Well, she’ll likely listen to you if you tell her to back off a bit, but the question is do you want her to?
Introducing!In Sootopolis:Spoiler (click to show/hide):
(Decided to tone down your intro a bit since, really, death on that scale hasn’t come into play in the RP yet.)

Despite the emergency landing that was needed thanks to Duskull feeding on the pilot’s anxiety, you make it into Sootopolis unharmed, though after that display the pilot and Billy decide to get the fuck out of dodge rather than risk you doing something else that might kill them. Getting your first look at Sootopolis, you realize that maybe you should have treated the pilot a bit better since there’s no getting out of here without flying or somehow diving beneath the island. Well, you’re here now, located right next to the PokéMart. What do you do now?
