Bro @Quinn Alle is getting lynched anyhow so waynaut give it a second chance fren? You as much as I or many people here looked forward to playing this, and it's only Day 1. Things can get more fun from now on. If anything have some lovely Panda Express orange chicken and give it a thought before quitting!

Alle, chillax bro. Don't make Quinn feel bad for something she obviously didn't mean for. Everyone voting for you is indicative of how your fight with Quinn progressed, not of Quinn starting a bandwagon.

God, Baz are you saying you're reading every single post on this thread and smelling out the possible mafia? *_* I applaud you but we're already on Page 14. ded.

Well if you ask for it, waynaut? [ELIMINATE] Alisae

Bros. What is there so much to gamesolve so much on Day 1? Imo, the only thing to gamesolve is to take a stand on whether Alle is town or mafia. From what I've seen in my short history of Mafia experience, I think mafia roles try to get under the radar so they're not lynched or inspected by cop roles and the such. Why Alle, if e is mafia, would expose emselves so much by gazillion-posting? That is why I'm not convinced e is mafia. If e was an inexperienced Mafia player, I'd understand that e would try to participate unnaturally more to appear innocent (I have done this in my first mafia game, only to be smelt out by Quinn, the cop(? I don't even know the roles well lol)) but e is experienced. Buying the wrath of many players isn't something a mafia member would want to do. Hence it all seems unnatural behavior for em to be mafia. On the other hand, what e has posted, too, is fishy. Why out Quinn as mafia so early in the game, when she hasn't even said anything that sounds mafia-like? Especially, why would e need to press charges against her so much, when there's probably a 50% chance of being wrong as of now? That smells like a mafia member trying to get some innocent player lynched at all costs. Man... ultimately the votes will decide eir fate, and it's pretty likely that e will get lynched regardless of my vote. For now, though, I'm iffy about joining the bandwagon when I haven't sorted my final opinion.

Quick show of hands - who is accepting their frenship chocs? So far I've seen Drak and Quinn not thinking of taking the chocs. I quite frankly don't know what to make of them... so I don't want to be the only fool who accepts a choc and gets rekt

bro. Dive. you didn't substract the votes of those who said [unvote] Newt iirc

Awww lasagna! My mom makes one of the best lasagna (even if she's only 1/4 Italian). And es too bad not everyone esteems your niceness as we do here :/ They're missin' out bruh But really a surprise that you've been in friend fights. Wonder what kind of topics could trigger that? In my experience, I've only had friendly-aggressive debates (politics, religion, abstract theories, etc) but never real fights...

@Lord Drakyle but... but chocolate made by me are guaranteed to taste good if yaw don't want mah choc I can eat it myself y'know~ And who dis hooman(s) who is "simply bandwagoning and saying stuff without information to provide"??

Yah I agree with everyone - fake out on illumise. Check which mons in your team are capable to KO at least illumise to avoid the pesky rain. If you can't, then you might need a way to take advantage of the rain (much like in-game Ame says, bug types don't resist water attacks)

Bro Newt 2 questions: 1. Arent you Cupid, why you keep misspelling? 2. What's the flavor of ice cream you eating?

Corso (1) is on-pointíssimo. Dont fight frens, peace is le best I was going to give choc to my homie but it seems Ali got ahead of me... guess I'll give the choc to myself on a different dimension. Sorry I can't changeth the colors on damn phone. Give friendship chocolate: Lord Drakyle

chill bros. this is the point of the game after all - press and resist

Y'know I would've typed something less grim and more sugary~ But maybe someone who likes the word "basically" since it was on the message a striking number of Twice! ... Dunno who that could be though

I thought it's a day message since I got it during the day... maybe it was just delayed info xD

xD xD unfortunately no one in my team's got the ability Trace, so can't use Berserk. but if you'll tell me how you added it, I'll add it at moments of berserk fosho

Damn I went ahead and did what the possible-scum messenger told me to do @Alisae

yeah, since I didn't play gen 7 I didn't know what berserk was xD is that your favorite special effect? Unfortunately the lag is tremendous on mac when you try to use the animations, hence why I have them off...

This day I'd contribute something but it's also tru that I'm a lazy reader and there's too many hoomans posting to read everything. Also what a surprise to find that Dive's choice was Treestump for Candy smh Something more dramatic would've suited me :*

interesting. I've heard you don't need EV training to go through Reborn. Also I wish I had some advice to give, but I'm also in the process of struggling against Victoria

1. Have you gotten into a fight with a friend ever? 2. What's your favorite food? 3. Do you like to have a lot of superficial friends or a few strongly bonded friends? 4. Who is your favorite Reborn character? 5. Are you known as the Ultimate Human Being nicest person ever also in real life?

Vanilla places quite an importance to respect. Those who earn hers are good to go but those who disrespect her see hell. Since Heather is outright disrespecting her (for talking like her superior) and her own father (who seems to be performing normal parental functions), her ratings are close to being what Fern's are. Yep, that's why you might note a lil part with no music xD what's this special effect??

From Everland to Reborn ~ Episode 8 As Florinia had asked, I headed toward Jasper Ward, which also meant that I would have to walk to the northwestern edge of the spacious Peridot Ward. I was still walking on the streets of Obsidia, when a girl approached me and proposed me to give my pokemon a haircut for half the regular price. I'm a sucker for discounts of this sort, so I went into the salon. “Welcome trainer,” said an older employee of the salon. “Would you like me to estimate the friendship between you and your pachirisu?” “You can tell that sort of thing?” “I have a rare ability, which allows me to see the threads uniting pokemon with trainer. Unfortunately though, your pachirisu does not seem to have completely opened up your heart to you. I would advise you to build its trust by battling or simply playing together.” I looked at Pikachu, and it turned its head as though it was confused. “What kind of play would you recommend? Pikachu is a tag-along buddy and doesn't battle.” I amazed myself, since under normal situations I would never inquire further on an unimportant matter. “I assume this is your first pet? You see, it varies among species but pokemon tend to like it when you scratch the back of their ear or underneath their chin.” The woman demonstrated by scratching Pikachu. What she said seemed to be true because Pikachu let out some purring sounds like I'd never heard before, and was closing its eyes to feel the comfort better. “Try it,” the woman withdrew her hand and grabbed mine to put it on top of Pikachu’s head. I scratched the head and ears, at first with trembling fingers, but as Pikachu confirmed me that I was doing it correctly, I became less afraid. “I'm now available to give your pokemon a haircut,” this time a young man approached me. The stufful that had been sitting on his table jumped off with glowing fur. Looking at that, Pikachu felt more encouraged to get the haircut and willingly jumped on top of the table. After around half an hour, the haircut was over, and Pikachu came looking absolutely refreshed. Of course, having lived as a wild squirrel before encountering me, it had never felt the ear scratching or fur trimming until today. The haircut was rather harsh on my wallet even with the discount, but I felt it was worth the while. “This is a present from me,” said the middle-aged woman as she handed me a small vial of liquid. “It's an interesting potion which was very popular in my adolescent years. When you feel your friendship has matured, allow both of you to take a sip out of the same vial. The effects are temporary, but you might enjoy a little surprise.” I inspected the vial. It had a label, but it had been hastily removed, because I could see the white remains of a sticker. I would normally never accept something from a stranger, much less something that required me to ingest it, since it could as well be poison. However, I guessed I could just accept it and never use it, so I did just that. The smiling employees fared me well, and I resumed my trip to Jasper. The thugs and gang members in Peridot Ward scurried away when they saw me walking. It appeared that the blondie I gave a warning to did his homework very well. Not to mention that half of them were also trainers I had defeated. I went to a store in Peridot to buy some super potions, but then I remembered that I had bought the ones I had from a smuggler and hence wouldn’t find them there. I hope Jasper has some good potions, because I’m almost running out of them. When I entered Jasper, I instantly understood what Florinia had meant. The buildings were wrapped in long, thick vines which broke them as a python would break the spine of a rodent. I went to the east, but the way was blocked by large trees that seemed to have grown from the ground underneath the concrete street. The west was no different, and thus I found myself confused as to what Florinia wanted me to do, if there was no access to the PULSE. I thought that perhaps the cops would have some info on how to get to the other side of town, but the mere thought of interacting with police officers was gut-wrenching to me. So I decided not to go in, and look for a way myself, when a cop who came out of the tunnel from Peridot Ward saw me. “Oh, isn’t it you? The one who Miss Florinia say to allow passage?” Yes, it was one of the pair of guards that were stationed at the border between Opal and Obsidia Wards. “Yes, but I’m on my way back. Bye.” “Wait, don’t go yet. You see, I’m coming back because there’s a shortage of police officers in Jasper. This department has been tasked to deal with the mutant plants up here, but not only have they been unsuccessful, they even lost more than half their officer count! Please come inside - the chief is sure to welcome any help at this time.” Great. Now I’m helping cops on top of helping the anti-Team Meteor group. Just my luck. “Greetings, I’m the chief of the police department,” said an old man by reflex, but seeing that I was accompanied by an officer, he cleared his throat. “Who is this young lady you are escorting, Officer Miller? ” “This is the girl who successfully rid Obsidia of the same problem we are facing in Jasper and Beryl Wards.” “So this is the girl I’ve heard reports of? I’d heard she was petite and quite young, but I didn’t expect her to be this frail-looking,” the department chief smiled, but the damage had been done. I already wanted to kick him in the stomach for disrespecting me so. However, I only held calm because I couldn’t afford being held in a prison cell over here in Reborn. “I’m sure she would be of great help to us.” “I understand. Brave young girl, I’m sure Officer Miller must’ve briefed you about our situation here, but the biggest problem right now is the shortage of officers. We would be increasingly thankful if you could help us find the five officers, who I have been able to contact save for one. For the last officer, I am not sure of his situation, for the one who picked up my call was his growlithe.” “So only five officers, huh? Fine. I’ll be back when I find them.” I left behind the two cops that looked as though I’d just saved their mom from a tragic death. My priority, though, was to find the machine that was causing the destruction in the first place. I’d forgotten to ask the officers about a way to cross to the other side of Jasper, but I wasn’t going to return to that Hell office. I didn’t have to look too much for the way, though, because a building I went in had a path leading to the Pokemon Center, where I rested my pokemon for a little and gained a new member (Golden Key, from Alice in Wonderland), before heading the second path which led towards a forest. “Malchous forest, hm?” I said to Pikachu. The forest canopy was shading all our path, so everything looked darker than it should have been. The grass was muddy, indicating that it had rained recently. I didn’t appreciate that, though, because my leaf loafers were getting dirty. At some points, I ran into narrow paths between trees, which occasionally tore little bits off my dress when I wasn’t careful enough. Fortunately, my bubblegum dress could be easily mended by stretching and filling the small holes. At a few locations, I encountered Team Meteor grunts, who didn’t hesitate to engage me in battle. Again, extra experience for my monsters is not unwelcome. Especially since I had just added Golden Key to the team - it appeared not to be a strong attacker, but it had Prankster as his ability, which meant I could use status moves with increased priority. This ability was handy on this pokemon, because Candy had bred Spikes, Iron Defense, Switcheroo and Thief onto it. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of Thief as Golden Key learnt the move Draining Kiss, because I didn’t see an immediate use for it. While we were walking through the maze of trees and tall bushes, though, Pikachu smelled out and found something useful for me. It was a big root. As I held the root in my hand, one of my pokeballs opened without warning, and Prince was out jumping and begging for the big root. I thought he wanted to eat it, but instead it bounced around happily with it, and went back into his pokeball. Whatever the reason, I had no motives to take his root from him, so I let him hold it. I resumed walking for a rather long time, with my own suspicions that I would get lost in the forest and repeat a rather gruesome story of my ancestors. However, I was wrong in expecting this, because instead of a gigantic gingerbread house, I made it onto an opening in the forest, where I saw a machine much like the one I’d seen in Obsidia Park. In front of the machine, I also found a person, though this was not ZEL contrary to my expectations. “Hey there, I figured you’d show up soon,” said the young man with brown hair. He looked rather thin and the dark circles under his eyes made me wonder whether he had even slept in the past couple of days. Either he was a fashionista or cold all the time, for he was wearing a red scarf when the temperature was pleasant out. “You came here because of this thing, right?” “No, I came to talk with some stranger with a red scarf. Stop stating the obvious.” The guy seemed taken aback by my comment, but regained his default grim expression quickly. “Of course. It’s a real shame though, isn’t it? Tangrowth’s caused a lot of damage.” “I can see it. Can we cut the crap and get to the battle? I don’t have time to waste with the likes of you.” “You’re impatient, I see. At least let us introduce ourselves. I’m sure we’ll meet more times in the future, regardless of the outcome of our battle,” the guy softened his expression. “My name is Taka. What’s yours?” “Vanilla.” “So Vanilla, who stopped the PULSE in Obsidia, correct?” “PULSE?” “Pokemon Ultimation Link-System Exaggerata, or PULSE. It morphs the pokemon and-” “Amplifies its power to over its original limit. I know all this jazz, let’s get fighting.” “What a loss,” Taka said, as he saw the tangrowth faint and fall out of the PULSE. “However, I have mixed emotions to see this PULSE stopped. In any case, I should let you know that there’s another one up in Beryl Ward, so come check it out if you’d like.” “You’ll regret telling me this information, because I’ll go right now and break that machine in pieces.” “If that’s what you want to do, I’ll probably see you there.” Taka said this and disappeared together with the fainted tangrowth by teleportation. Again, that way of leaving looks rather dope. After putting out the fire with Prince’s Bubble Beam, I took a while to find the exit to the forest because I kept making wrong turns. That, though, allowed me to find the four missing officers and one dog which lost its officer. When I was finally near the exit, though, I was stopped by a loud voice. “Just what do you think you’re even doing?” I turned around, and found that the voice was from a little girl, perhaps seven or eight years younger than me. She had pink hair, which looked fairly natural. If it’s colored, I would perhaps enjoy a visit to her stylist. “I was going to mess up those Meteor jerks myself! It’s not even fair. I’d finally got away from my dad so I could stop the bad guys.” “Well news flash, little girl. I already took them out. Come earlier if you want to be part of the show. Bye.” “Wait! I’m not done talking here. My dad! He doesn’t let me do anything, not even go after the bad guys. What kind of dad doesn’t let his daughter be the hero of the story?” “You know, I don’t care about you or your dad. When I made a deal with Florinia, the list didn’t include ‘babysit a crybaby’. Go bother someone else.” “Don’t even think of coming to stop the machine at Beryl. That’s where I live and so it’s my territory!” “I’m headed that way, so you might want to get rolling,” I said and left the girl to her own devices. Some parents really have it tough. I’m glad I won’t need to deal with shit like that. When I returned to the Jasper police department, I realized that all the four officers were sitting in the office, waiting for my return. “She’s here, chief!” “Thanks so much for saving me, I’ll forever be indebted.” As a reward, the chief gave me a pokemon egg, and the title of “honorary member of the Reborn City Police Department”. Looking down at the egg, I chuckled at the irony of it all. What did I get myself into. VANILLA RATES: REBORN CHARACTERS Hope you enjoyed this episode~ Did you like the new addition of a battle video? Editing the sound (since I mute the volume) was quite a hurdle for me, a noob in video editing *_* Also, I got a cottonee egg from the police... I was considering whether to add it to the run, but I think we're overcrowded with grass types as is, so I'll keep the run as originally intended! Cya - Candy QUICK LINK TO NEXT EPISODE
