[ORP] The Truth Is Out There

An incredibly angry pokémon popped out! But wait! That's not an electric type? That's a furious normal Beldum!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Zev: Area 3]

With his pokemon, borrowed pokemon, and tag-along in a loose gaggle around him Zevran wandered onward in search of anything potentially interesting but the only thing he could see on the sand around him was a rock; he gave it a kick and sighed. "It was more interesting when things were attacking us," he commented. At least it was warm here even if the largely featureless landscape left a lot to be desired.

Booby Prize!

It's an empty potion spray bottle!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Aulus: Area 3]

The Beldum that tried to ram into Aulus found that he was abruptly not there anymore but it was too late to change course and instead of hitting the human it itself was struck by a powerful Night Slash from Tortie.

As the steel and psychic type crashed to the ground Tortie snorted and kicked sand at it. <<Weak,>> she sneered.

Aulus rolled his shoulders and peered down at the fallen Beldum. "What's with all of these pokemon? Beldum isn't even- well it's alive but it's metal. How's it affected by..." he scowled and made an expansive gesture at their surroundings, "Whatever the hell is affecting all of them." Was there some kind of psychic field around? His own pokemon were acting normally so maybe prolonged exposure was the thing? Or did this have something to do with the green stuff, touching it or even just being close enough for long enough? Should he be concerned by the fact that he was carrying around two rocks with it in, and also a box full of it in powder form? "I don't understand any of this," he grumbled, pulling up the notes he'd made so far to read them all over again in case some kind of obvious connection struck him.

[Zev: Area 3]

"More trash?" Zevran wondered aloud, stooping to pick up the spray bottle. "What is this anyway?" he'd seen them in shops but not paid a lot of attention, pokemon related though he guessed? A quick google search confirmed that yes, this was a healing potion and a shake confirmed that it was pretty well empty. "Tch, who just leaves their trash lying around like this? No class." Not that he was inclined to carry it himself of course. Zevran threw the bottle away as far as he could and gave a snort of amusement as Copper streaked off in pursuit of it. A few moments later the Jolteon was sprinting back with it gripped in his jaws and looking very pleased indeed. "Well you can carry it if you want... You want me to throw it again, is that it?"

Copper gave an affirmative bark and passed the bottle to Zev, who obligingly hurled it towards the horizon again.

Aulus: A frightened pokémon popped out! A fleeing normal Ponyta appeared!

Zev: A very unhappy pokémon popped out! A very angry normal Joltik appeared!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Aulus: Area 3: ...Moving areas??]

Aulus watched the fleeing Ponyta with a scowl and tried to remember if other fleeing pokemon had been seemingly heading away from the same area. Hum. "Tortie, help me track where it came from. Let's see if we can figure out what or where it was running away from." Perhaps it wouldn't be possible to follow the trail but it was worth a try.  

[Gwennythe]

TawnyAngel

The trail could only be followed for a short distance, before it vanished, perhaps blown over... or removed? Probably blown over!

A very aggressive pokémon popped out! It's a very angry normal Plusle!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Zev: Area 3]

"Is all of this normal?" Zevran wondered aloud as his team took down a tiny yellow bug that has nonetheless been intent on killing something. The gestures they replied with seemed to indicate 'no'. "Does this have to do with the... ehh... the meteorito? It seems to be the only strange thing that has happened recently to make pokemon act strangely?" Very odd, he would have to tell Taavi what he'd observed later on.  

[Gwennythe]

TawnyAngel

A peeved pokémon popped out! It's a raging normal Rotom!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Aulus: Area 3]

"Damn." Aulus crouched down beside the last visible hoof print in the sand in the hopes that getting closer to the ground would allow him to pick out another; it didn't. "How's the scent?" he asked Tortie but not with much hope, and indeed she huffed and shook her head. "Too windy hu?" Maybe too many criss-crossing smells too.

Smells for example the those coming from the Plusle charging towards them. Aulus grunted. "Really?"

Tortie rolled her eyes in agreement and bounded forward, striking the little thing with a Night Slash that sent it limping away again as quickly as it had come.  

[Gwennythe]

TawnyAngel

A terrified pokémon popped out! A frightened normal Espurr goes rapidly floating by!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Zev: Area 3]

What was that? Zevran stared at the floating... well whatever it was as his pokemon moved to battle it; puddles of ooze, strange living orbs, floating metal things, and now this... this.

After a little while the thing simply faded from view, leaving Zevran shaking his head. "And to people around here all of this is normal... Well, the pokemon anyway." Less so the way they were acting.

Booby Prize!

You found some old dry sticks!  

[Gwennythe]

NOTE: Thank you!

A little later than advertised, but rolling for pokémon prizes that you can keep has come to an end!

Thank you all for playing and please post in the Certing Thread if you kept any pokémon from this ORP!

The chance to roll IC encounters with non-catchable pokémon is still available, but this will dwindle down over the next two days (until some time during 1st of November to be exact) to zero, when only non-pokémon booby prizes, of no plot significance, can be rolled.

The ORP will remain open for RP, but please keep in mind that the strange wild pokémon activity (compared to what has been occurring anyway) is decreasing and will have returned to normal levels and behaviours for your characters after November 1st.
