Free Roam: Route 116
Free Roam threads exist for two reasons - to give players something to do while waiting for their turn in a storyline thread, and to provide easy XP/new pokemon to catch outside of story threads. Only one player can participate within a Free Roam thread at a time, to make the poor admin's life easier. Free Roam threads are assumed to happen outside of narrative time, and as such do not need to make sense with what is 'currently' happening - if you're in the pokemon center in the main thread but want to play in a Free Roam while waiting, you can, it doesn't matter.
When starting a Free Roam, you declare - either in your post or in the admin's skype - if you intend to Grind or Catch. If you Grind, you cannot grind again until you either catch a new pokemon or post in a plot-relevant thread at least 5 times, and all of your in-party pokemon get enough xp to level up your weakest pokemon once. If you Catch, the admin checks his chart to see which wild pokemon you encounter, at which point a full battle ensues as normal. This is not a guaranteed catch - it is just a chance to.
Description: Once policed by Hikers and Devon Corp scientists looking for a break, the path towards the tunnel linking Rustboro to Verdanturf Town has once again become overgrown and occupied by wild Pokemon of various breeds, including several of the new invasive species. Recently, it was the site of a major battle between Team Aqua and Team Whiplash, which even featured the appearance of Team Whiplash's leader and his Mega Aggron - as a side effect of this, the tunnel's entrance has been caved in and battle damage has destroyed the hiker's shed nearby.
Trainers: Hiker Clark, Rich Boy Duncan
Known Pokemon: Whismur, Zigzagoon, Nincada, Taillow, Shinx, Joltik, ???, ???, ???
Items: Berry Trees (Various, unharvested)
Entrances: Rustboro City
Exits: None, Rustboro Tunnel is currently blocked off due to battle damage.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
A new look, a bandaged arm, and a Trainer's Card were finally his after the...disaster of his entrance into Rustboro City. George didn't care for the constant patrolling of random grunts in the city, so he decided to go try his luck eastward in Route 116. Adding some new Pokemon to his team might be beneficial, and he was curious how the local wildlife had changed after the infamous "Delta Reshaping" the conflict between Team Magma and Aqua caused.
Striding into the route, George began his search for a new companion.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
The Rocket grunt manning the checkpoint let George through without comment after checking his Trainer Card, not even pausing to check if he was the ex-Rocket that had allegedly attacked one of the other border guards.
Now that he was in Route 116, George's path was mostly open - the overgrowth was pretty expansive, but even with it in the way he could make out the clearly unnatural ruins that represented the entrance to Rusturf Tunnel.
checking RNG for encounters - 10 possible pokemon with 4 different version, d10 roll+d4 roll.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
A wild Joltik has appeared!
As George passed under an extended treebranch, he accidentally rustled it and with a confused high-pitched screech a Shinx ran away from where it had been sleeping, jostling a small yellow bug off its fur and onto George's shoulder where it blinked at him hesitantly, before it let out a small pulse of Electric energy - not enough to damage the human - before jumping off and trying to flee.

Flinching slightly as the shock ran through his shoulder, George glanced at the tiny spider as it began to scurry away. Taking ginger strides to keep up with it, he reached into his pack for his Pokedex, a dusty relic from a time on the straight and narrow. Pointing the device at the Joltik, he scanned it hoping to see just how useful it would be to his quest.

Relatively strong for such a small body, he noted. Deciding that simply going for the capture was the best option, George pulled an empty Pokeball from his pack. "No time like the present, I suppose." Giving the ball a ginger toss at the spider, he patiently awaited to see if his luck held true.

Joltik Capture Rate - 40%
Under Level 20 - +20%
Regular Pokeball - -5%
Needed 55% or less
FAILURE
The pokeball bounced off of the Joltik, grazing it slightly and failing to open - most likely not registering the diminutive pokemon's presence. It made a headline for the treeline, but considering this was at a Joltik's top speed it...wasn't a very impressive performance.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
Things just weren't going right, were they? First, he had embarrassed himself at the checkpoint the previous day, and now it appeared his throwing aim was about as accurate as a Zap Cannon. Sighing, he chased after the Joltik, picking up the thrown Pokeball along the way, preparing for another toss. "Fool me once..." And there went the toss, with the hopes that this time, he wouldn't miss so horribly.

While the ball did register the Joltik's presence this time, it only rocked once before the Joltik broke out again. Deciding that running clearly wasn't going to cut it, it turned around and spat out a Thunder Wave at George with what little electricity it currently had stored up.
Thunder Wave cannot miss.
No more uses of Thunder Wave left today.
George found himself paralyzed, falling to the floor heavily, as the bug crawled up and started chewing on his head with a Leech Life to make up for the slight bruise it got from the repeated pokeball throws.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
Lambda was out enjoying a walk. Hoenn seemed to be going to shit according to what she overheard in the city; she wanted to get away from all the people and chatter despite being a city girl through and through. To think her father was working for those morons. She sure hoped he made a shitton of money for it...
Her mind turned to more pleasant thoughts, like the bird and gecko sitting on her shoulders. So cute. The warm, puffy little Fletchling was just so cuddly, and she loved Treecko's slim, dextrous design. She nuzzled the bird a little and then turned her head to scratch Noel's neck, but something caught her eye.
Was that someone on the ground? And that yellow blob... HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS A JOLTIK?! EATING SOMEONE?! WHAT THE FUCK?!
Years of spider hunting came to the forefront of her mind. Joltiks were small, but you generally wanted rubber around to deal with them. She'd picked out her shoes very specifically to deal with little infestations like this; they were excellent for stomping. Joltiks were even small; they barely left a mess. Especially compared to Spinaraks...
She sprinted up to the– corpse? or was the person alive? She had no idea– and readied herself to squish the bug, completely forgetting about the pokemon on her shoulders. "SHOO! GET AWAY! I'M A TRAINED SPIDER SQUISHER!"

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
The Joltik looked up in surprise and let out another screech, falling backward off of George's head and scurrying off to the side, hiding under his arm and trying to get away from the Fletchling more than anything else, sparks of electricity shooting around to try and scare him off - not that he could actually muster enough energy to do another electric attack anymore.
Re: Free Roam: Route 116
Great, now there was a random girl who had decided to show up. He was never going to live this down, now was he? Twitching slightly from the paralysis, he managed an angry grunt towards the woman. Speaking would be difficult, but manageable. Taking a deep breath, he barked, "So help me if you stomp your foot I will ensure that you will never walk on it again. I'm alive. Pained and paralyzed, but alive. Now if you'll just..give me a moment.."
Struggling to muster enough energy to break free from the electricity coursing through him, George tried to rise to his knees.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
George has broken free of the paralysis, and can now act normally again. The Joltik has resorted for hiding somewhere behind his leg.
Re: Free Roam: Route 116
Oh, the guy was alive– thank Ho-Oh. "Hey, I wanted to make sure it was off you before I did something. And it is. I also wanted to make sure you weren't dead. Which you're not." She raised an eyebrow at him for automatically assuming the worst. The guy... She hoped he wasn't bad. She was already shaking from the excitement of bug-squishing; she didn't need it to get worse. "So are you going to keep it or do I get to have a go?" If so, she figured her pokemon needed some training. A lot of training.
To be fair, though, that Joltik seemed pretty ready to use the guy as a shield. She probably wasn't about to get a turn; that in mind, she folded her arms behind her back.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
Staring at the woman, he sighed. He'd probably intimidated her slightly, but what was done was done. Grunting and rolling his neck to ease the stiffness the paralysis had left him with, George stared down at the tiny spider hiding behind his leg. It sure had already given him a remarkable amount of trouble for its size, and if nothing else it had taken cover behind him. Deciding that he'd give it one more college try, he reached into his pack for a Pokeball once more.
"I'm gonna give this another shot. I'd rather not send out any of my other companions considering the fact that I'd rather not make a ruckus around here for...some personal reasons. If this fails, have at it." Taking a few steps away from the Joltik, he tossed the Pokeball once more, hoping that the 3rd try was in fact, the charm.

Re: Free Roam: Route 116
Since none of George's pokemon were involved in the fight, they get no XP. George's Pokedex count goes to 3 (7 more captures until Level Up). Lambda's Fletchling gets 10xp.
