A true hero... in training (Pokemon Gym Leader's apprentice quest)

Reader mode
Pokemon and relationships updated. Now you can see what traits do, new thought for Lily and Violet, added Shinx and Luxray.

Also items updated because I totally forgot to add them the other day.
 
[X][Hotel] Go to a pokecenter. Uncomfortable but free.
Cynthia has loads of money, but she only gave Haru enough for the essentials, so she clearly wants him to experience the cheap trainer style. I think we should act according to her wishes here.

[X][Name] Fang
I'm not really a fan of joke names either, since no one wants their name to just be a joke. This name suits our aggressive and easily biting Shinx just fine.
 
[x][Hotel] They leave you alone? Then you are going to grab your tent and go to the lake shore like a real man.

Chill by the lake and let Maelstrom out in the water. Let him extend the boundaries of his kingdom and conquer a new regions magikiarp, or just meet some more pokemon/people.

[x] Raijū

Violet's first pokemon. She is a proud and strong Kirlia. She is always protecting her trainer and has her trainer's safety as a priority. Even if she tries to act cool and elegant, she is as weak to teasing as her trainer. She is a lot more willing to launch you against a wall too.

Rel. Score: 3/10 (Helpful idiot.)

Thoughts about you:
  • An idiot that doesn't know how to talk to a lady... But seems to treat his pokemon well. I will keep an eye on him.
  • He helped Violet in a way I could never do. I'm glad we met him. Maybe she will leave the past behind thanks to him. [Memories and new beginnings / End of chapter 1]
  • This IDIOT will get himself killed doing things like that. And then Violet will be sad. And I will be sad too... B-Because I share feelings with Violet. [Playing hero]

Wait, didn't Volkner start with a Pikachu?

[][Hotel] Go to a pokecenter. Uncomfortable but free.

Because we should spend as little as possible, so that we can get all those cool toys like Ultra Balls and Full Restores later. Also, we should probably get the Shinx checked out. Also also, Valor Lakefront might have some rides/attractions we can go to that cost money.

Actually, I'm going to go with

[X][Hotel] They leave you alone? Then you are going to grab your tent and go to the lake shore like a real man.

for a couple reasons.

First is to just get more practice roughing it for future traveling. Second is to let Maelstrom swim around and meet/challenge the Magikarp that reside in this lake (Because a thriving population does exist, as evidenced by all the ones flopping on the lake bed when Team Galactic blew it up. Plus, I wanna take every chance I can to help train Maesltrom up so that he can truly become our Ace). Thirdly, I want to see if we can maybe catch a glimpse of a shining, faerie like figure over the lake deep in the night. (Because hopefully a nat 100 on an encounter roll will let us see Azelf)

And here are some names I have for our new Shinx

[]Lux (Measures light, which Shinx can emit, and is also used to measure how much light is perceived by the human eye. Luxray have x-ray vision.)
[]Volt (Measure of electricity)
[]Azure (Because Shinx and it's evolutions are blue) (Also, given my avatar, I have to at least put this forward)
[]Striker (Because lightning strikes) (Also, given my avatar, I have to at least put this forward)
[]Thunderclap (Fits our budding weather theme of nicknames) (Also, could be a possible reference to what his roar will sound like when he evolves) (Also, given my avatar, I have to at least put this forward)(Also also, we only really caught this Shinx because we stood up to that Luxray and his Thunder, so this could serve as a nice little call back to how/why we caught the Shinx in the first place)

Based on a combination of our current theme and my avatar, I'm gonna push this one forward:

[X] [Name] Thunderclap
 
So we have a harbinger of nightmares stalking us. Let's hope it's actually wild and not ob staliking duty for somebody (because clearly a random encounter like that won't get relevant in the near future). Either way, that doesn't exactly leave me wanting to sleep where others can just waltz in.

"Don't you dare pick that last option."

Lily, that's exactly how you get me to pick that option.

[X][Hotel] You all should spend as little as possible. Ask Violet to share a room and pay half of it. (2500P¥)

Not really sure what to do name wise yet.

Music for inspiration / Character themes
  • Media
    • I think I will add this to the thread. I use a lot of music when writing. Sometimes as background to keep focus and others to get inspiration. There are always songs that inspire me more or less for different characters. Like their theme songs. Sometimes the lyrics make a lot of sense with the characters and sometimes just the music.

    And sometimes they tell things about their past and future.

    I will start adding the songs I get inspiration from. Each character might get one, or two, or twenty, who knows. I will check all songs you add to the thread, but I will only add here the ones that inspire me to write more.

    Maybe this will help you understand the characters better.


    For when I just need to get into Pokemon writing mood.

    This Dream
    Unbeatable
    Pokemon Johto
    My three favorites from Jonathan Young. Specially the Johto one.


    Sorario Days
    Last Stardust
    Our opening and ending, of course. Pretty important. Haru has the heart of a self-sacrificing hero.

    Kekkai Sensen Ending
    Really like this song and I almost used it as the opening/ending. It helps me write Haru's more playful side for some reason.

    Everything's Alright
    A song that, even if it sounds sad, it holds hope for the future.

    Namida no Ondo
    Because sometimes you just need to leave sadness behind and go forward. Double perfect because the singer is the her voice actress in the anime where she is from.

    World Is Mine
    It's Not Like I Like you!!
    A couple fun songs. Lily is a princess at heart. Treat her like she deserves.

    Fall in the Dark
    The other side of the coin. When you can't express your feelings... will you be left alone? How can she express them if sometimes she doesn't know where Violet's end and hers start?

    Magia
    What are you willing to sacrifice for the ones you love? To get back that person you lost.

    You Say Run
    Every hero needs a theme song. A song that brings hope to the innocent and strike fear into the hearts of the wicked.

    Battle Against a True Hero
    Being a superhero is supposed to be fun. You are supposed to fight the bad guys and save everyone... But sometimes real villains are worse than the ones in the comics.

    If they are going to be real villains, then you need to be a real hero. Play time is over!

    Again
    Sometimes any path is better than stagnating in the past. Even if it's the wrong one.

    You're Gonna Go Far, Kid
    A mask over a mask. All to protect your freedom. All so the ones that enslave you will never see it coming.


    A little taste of some future characters and what inspired their creation.

    The Outcast / 2
    The Heir
    The Jester / z0C_hFo_FyM / OmZg0mcsKug / Kz01opSNMb4
    The Swordsman

    Guys, can we please not give our new guy a joke name?

    Magikarp was named Maelstorm. It's to late already to not give joke names.

    You guys realize he's going to get laughed at every time we call him that? At least Squall is still weather related?

    Squall is a bad name everyone would make fun of.

    The chance to meet other trainers. And well, we should head there to heal Boogaloo anyway.
    [X][Name] Boogaloo
     
    Come on guys, lets room with Violet! There's practical reasons to do so. Specifically practice if we end up needing to do so again later. Such as if Lily accidentally destroys a tent and we have to share one. Or every room except one is taken in the only place we can stay in town. Or if we're in a part of Mount Coronet and we get trapped inside from a cave in and need to wait for rescue.

    Just makes me think of the FFVIII protagonist to be honest. Not the best example for Shinx... Oh god, now I'm imagining a version of Rinoa's dog based Limit Break using a Shinx instead.

    Yeah see, the Mr. Mime only left us alone because of Lily, if you guys want to give up that protection, that's on you. I'd prefer a bodyguard against the creepy clown stalker that might be after us.
