Alright, I'll be calling the vote here. Looks like an exploration of a vista point that sees Electriville is in order.

14 - A murder of Pidgy's tries to rob you

Scheduled vote count started by Daemon Hunter on Apr 19, 2024 at 2:55 PM, finished with 10 posts and 7 votes.

  • [X] Electric Overlook - Violet and Pineco would try to find a path through the mountains that got a good view of Electricville and the Power Plant alike.
    [X] Forest Mountains Above Route 9 - A range of forested mountains that are home to a variety of Pokemon. They are not that frequented by trainers due to the lack of powerful Pokemon.
    [X] River Exploration - A more sedate option would be to explore the river itself through a combination of a canoe, scuba gear, and other equipment.

this is purely speculation, but is the current destination along the coast going to be Fuschia city?
I currently see two Paths

Journey Path 1

  • Lavender Town to Saffron (Gym?)
  • Saffron to Vermilion City (Gym)
  • Vermilion to Celadon City (Gym)
  • Celadon to Fuschia (gym)

Journey Path 2

  • Lavender Town to Fuschia City (gym)
  • Fuschia City to Celadon City (gym)
  • Celadon City to Saffron City (gym)
  • Saffron City to Vermilion City (gym)

If I remember right, there was some discussion on going to Vermillion City first then to Saffron and taking a more western loop in order to reduce backtracking. I'd definitely say that both these Journey Paths as well as that one definitely are valid. And they'd generally provide different things overall just due to the various specialties involved.

What I want to talk about is

✨Seeing the Parents again ✨

The Cycling Road is based on Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, an expressway. In the games it's for cycling, and I expect it still is, but I also want to put forward the question:
If Holly Mills was willing to drive out to deliver supplies while Violet camped, do you think she or Damon Mills would be willing to give Violet a ride to Fuschia City, or on the way back?
It might be a matter of anxiety for Violet, but having her parents attend her Fuschia, Celadon, and/or Saffron Gym battles might also be good for the family.

I can in fact confirm that if you have a Gym Battle in Fuchsia, Saffron, or Celadon that the Mills family will drive out for it. And are rather likely to just offer Violet a ride along the way afterwards just to spend time with her. Even if Violet would be hesitant to take it, the option is certainly there.

On that note, time for me to close the vote. Looks like catching a Magnemite with Magnet Pull wins. And now Violet gets to experience fun times in the Rock Tunnel. Additionally, Magnemite's stat sheet is now up.

Alright, looks like Violet is going to be investigating the signage. This will make for some interesting times.

  • [X] The Signage - Pineco is rather fixated on the sabotaged sign, and Violet knows someone messed with it. Perhaps you can go out of your way to check on the signs present? You feel as if this is just a small part of a much larger plan ...
    [X] Bond with Magnemite - Your newest companion is going to be a bit more complicated than everyone else on the team. You should lay down expectations, both for yourself and for them.

Alright, I'll be calling the vote here. Looks like a trip to Silver Town is in order. And you do avoid the more dangerous encounter table as a result.
Scheduled vote count started by Daemon Hunter on Apr 27, 2024 at 9:04 PM, finished with 9 posts and 9 votes.

  • [X] Silver Town - A town surrounded by mountains and forests, it contains some unique attractions such as a small Contest Hall. It is a somewhat used exit from the Rock Tunnel.
    [X] Lavender Town - A town home to a significant population of Ghost Pokemon, and one that hosts several radio stations, this is the normal exit most trainers take.

Alright, I'll be calling the vote here. Looks like calling the parents wins. That'll be fun, it means you get to have some additional context to the start of a hell of an operation by Team Rocket. That and it's just a fun option for me to write.
Scheduled vote count started by Daemon Hunter on Apr 29, 2024 at 11:50 AM, finished with 9 posts and 9 votes.

  • [x] Call up your parents - Your parents are rather worried about you due to some news about the Rock Tunnel.
    [X] Participate in a Contest Battle - You don't want to do this, the sheer level of attention would be nerve-wracking. But Dratini really wants to …
    [X] See the sights in the Area - Silver Town has a few unique attractions such as the Contest Hall and a few desolate forested pathways. Exploring these areas will be fun.
    [X] Travel to Lavender Town - A town famous for its ghost Pokemon, it's also now the site of a large mobilization of trainers due to a local emergency. If you head out now, you could make it.

Hence, Dratini, Pineco, and Magnemite evolving at pretty much the same time with Chansey most likely being within the same general ballpark. Look on the bright side though if we pick up something like a Skarmory, and Heatran for our last two slots they won't need to evolve at least.

Both of those would definitely be interesting Pokemon. And due to it Taunt Skarmory reminding me of it, you'll be able to start teaching TMs to your Pokemon after you get your second gym badge.

A Slowking would be super nice tho. Someone that the MC can chat to with telepathy.

Telepathic Pokemon would be interesting. Violet would be a little intimidated by it, but it opens up a good bit more exploration for the Pokemon you have.

On that note, looks like Setting Boundaries wins. I do enjoy being able to have Magnemite be a little shit every now and then. It'll definitely spice things up. :V

  • [x] Set Boundaries - Allowing Magnemite's mischievous behavior in more productive manners will mean they remain a constant source of challenge for Violet. But also that they will be the happiest. Dratini likes this option.
    [X] Temper Magnemite - Trying to teach Magnemite how other people feel when they mess with them won't be difficult. For all their faults, Magnemite doesn't like inflicting suffering. Teaching them how to predict consequences would be fairly straightforward. Pineco likes this option.

Alright, I'll be closing the vote here. I'll have an update out tomorrow. As it is, I think I'll be shifting my update schedule so that I post Monday, Wednesday, and Friday rather than every other day.

As it is, due to the vote being tied, time for a d2

1 - Magnemite
2 - Contest

  • [x] Bond with Magnemite - While Magnemite is better behaved, and has been improving, it may be worthwhile spending time to accelerate their empathic growth.
    [X] Participate in a Contest Battle - You don't want to do this, the sheer level of attention would be nerve-wracking. But Dratini really wants to …
    [X] Challenge an Experienced Trainer - Some trainers in the area have a badge, beating them may be a good experience.


Alright, looks like it's a contest battle. Thankfully for me, it'll only be a single update long due to a combination of inexperience with the subject and Violet's nature not going that well with it. That being said, Dratini is very happy and does learn quite a bit from it, as does Violet and your other Pokemon.

A bit late, but I'll be calling the vote here. Looks like you're travelling to Electricville.
Scheduled vote count started by Daemon Hunter on May 6, 2024 at 10:14 AM, finished with 7 posts and 7 votes.

  • [X] Travel to Electricville - It's unorthodox, but there are alternative routes to Electricville as well. Violet's trip to a peak that could see Electricville and the Power Plant helped show this. Heading directly there to help out with the Pokemon emergency
    [X] Travel to Electricville - It's unorthodox, but there are alternative routes to Electricville as well. Violet's trip to a peak that could see Electricville and the Power Plant helped show this. Heading directly there to help out with the Pokemon emergency would also allow Violet to see Willow once more.
    [X] Travel to Lavender Town - A town famous for its ghost Pokemon, it's also now the site of a large mobilization of trainers due to a local emergency. A series of battles have occurred, with Team Rocket being pushed back through the Rock Tunnel, but the trainers are being held off by a blockade near Electricville.
    [X] Travel to Vermillion City - A popular seaport for Kanto, frequented by visitors and merchants from Johto. There are a number of regular ferries in the city.

Alright, I'll be calling the vote here. Looks like Roaming the Mountains wins. Time for Violet to act as the Predator for a bit :V. After she deals with the energetic powerhouse that is Willow.

  • [X] Roam the Mountains - Roaming the mountains to slow the flow of Team Rocket trainers to the area is more dangerous due to the risk of being ambushed. But with your perception, the risk is minimized.
    [X] Guard the Power Plant - You will face small groups of 1-2 skilled Team Rocket trainers who make use of the mountains to get close. Expect the fights to be quick, but brutal
