An Electric Tail (Pikachu Quest)

Reader mode
Hunh...Hrrrm.
[X] With help. Two against one odds just mean you have twice the available victims. Turn his Pokemon against one another and humiliate him with his own team

I'll be honest, Tools is tempting. There's a part of me imagining Trixie here running around with wires deliberately wrapped around that scarred paw of hers, that she uses for things like re-directing herself in mid-air, to lash at her opponent and entangle them...
But with Help says something else interesting about her-that she plays off People. She sees their desires, and bends them to her own purposes. That, crossed with an already extant tendancy towards traps and tricks gives her a more rounded package then doubling down on the whole 'tool-using' thing and the intelligence she's already displayed.

[X] With speed. Take to the trees, exploit the environment. Machop can't climb, and Geodude is pitifully slow. Make him regret underestimating your speed.

This city boy is still wet behind the ear's so why not enlighten him about the wonderful world of Pokemon watch his own team fall apart to infighting?
Failure is an excellent teacher, Schadenfreude is the cherry on top.

[X] With tools. This silly human thinks a Type advantage will work to his favour. Show him how wrong he is and use the Forest to do what your lightning cannot.

I like this and tools, but this is funnier because it is more humiliating for the trainer. Tools says to never underestimate someone, help says there's so much left for you to learn

Butterfree & Venomoth
  • Informational
    • Oh yeah, this always bugged me (heheh) something awful, and I get to make the rules here, so for this quest...


    ... assume that when I say "Butterfree" I am referring to the thing that looks like it actually came out of a Metapod, and that when I say "Venomoth" I'm talking about the thing that looks like a Venonat with wings and a thorax.

    Look, you guys were the ones who voted for the option that specifically called out how you like making Humans miserable.

    I voted against that!

    Not that this isn't entertaining, but I do believe Trickster's attitude is going to land her in real trouble she can't get out of sooner or later. Ah well, all part of the learning experience for our little sadistic mouse.

    will the same be true for garyados and dragonite in that case since their lines also look like the swapped?

    No, because Gyarados is referencing a specific Japanese folktale and actually looks like an eastern dragon of the sort that carp are meant to turn into.

    I am going to be tweaking the Dragonite evolution line a little to make them line up better, but it will remain as it is.

    The real dragon swap is the names of Flygon and Salamence. Like in what world does it go Bagon-Shelgon-Salamence, when flying is literally its specific trait that it's been going for in lore this entire time and the name is of the same pattern.

    Play them against each other and use your opponents as your own weapons. Yes. Yes. All of my yes.

    Eh, he kinda had something coming to him
    Specifically seeking out the pokemon known to be cunning and sly with no greater plan than "I'll just brute force it with rock types and fast balls"
    Being arrogant and unpleasant to his peers trying to warn him off by dismissing them as a bunch of chumps and idiots
    A lack of humility in the face of defeat in general

    "Guess again," he sneers to the Pidgey-Human. "I actually planned ahead, unlike you losers. Check it out." He plucks two Pokeballs off his belt and fans them between his fingers. "A Machop and a Geodude. These two took me through Pewter Gym and earned me my Boulder Badge. You idiots have been ignoring basic Type theory, going after it with Bugs and Fliers. Of course a crummy Pidgey's gonna lose to an Electric-type.

    "Hey, she's way worse than old lady Misty ever was! You got off easy, facing her! Brooke's merciless! And she doesn't play by the rules! Gym leaders are meant to hold back and give you a fair chance, not put you up against their best!"

    Look at this entitled little shit

    This story is doing a good job draining a lot of the sympathy I'd otherwise feel
    Because honestly? This guy came in looking for trouble, and he's got the gall to be indignant that he's found it
    Like poking a beedrill hive and managing to be surprised at what comes after

    Granted maybe coming back after she'd already won to shock him and cause him to lose his badge for good was a step too far
    And in that respect her own arrogance and pride kinda mean she kinda has something coming to her too

    But see, the difference there is that she's not a loser like he is :V

    He's an Asshole Victim. He was told this was trouble. He knew he was in for trouble. He proceeded to be a jerk about it.

    oh i'm not this is what i wanted after all. i was just surprised of how far we go with it. i was kinda expecting knocking the badge into the water to be the last bit since he was alreaddy very miserable, i did not expect to then also shock him while in the water.

    I mean, this is a descendant of Ash's Pikachu. Remember early episodes pikachu? They were a little jerkmonster too. It wasn't until Ash tapped into his inner pokemon messianic figure powers that the disproportionate and mercurial electric torture stopped. Even then, the zapping only stopped for Ash and co.—pikachu had no problem zapping humans who "deserved it".
