Ask to Join Geminos: ~Threads of Uncertainty~ (Discussion Thread)

[Mystic Zander]

Here’s the pitch.

The serum used to create Shadow Pokemon is thought to be completely synthetic, when in reality, it’s primary ingredient is a naturally occurring substance, typically rare, but abundant in the Geminos crust.

The evil team has a primarily progressive science/mining theme, and there end goal essentially involves slowly siphoning enough of this serum to eventually overthrow Geminos officials.

Once they control Geminos, they control the entire supply. With said supply, they could eventually began to expand there reach on a global scale.

Everyone is either converted or killed, and all Pokémon who can survive the injection are added to the team forces.

Edit: this is a very rough idea and I’d love some input.

It sounds pretty cool, plausible and makes the evil team actually a threat. I like it. How will our characters discover this plot though?

Well, again, everyone is welcome to throw out why they view to be the best reasoning.

But my thought was, just the typical casual encounters with this team on occasion.

That, and maybe one of the towns without a Gym or Contest is where there HQ is. No immediate powerhouses to try and check the evil team.

 

[kyuukestu]

I'm cool with just about anything as long it doesn't spiral into;

The entire Police and Ranger force are less competent than 3 teenage kids.

My main issue with even the current post is that Ellen, who really isn't supposed to be amazing or anything, has been more effective in one post than the Officers since they've arrived. That not only undermines the entire Police force but also makes it really hard to keep her in character.

That’s less because your more skilled and more because you simply had a better move set.

Disable was a lucky pull.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Well the division of the team sounds like a good idea

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

My 2 cents on this is just that people like Zoom are going to get the entire region to rally on them in no time flat. Having straight-up murdered people and then engaged the Police force, the Rangers and everyone will be alerted for the next time he pops up. I could only see him evading arrest for so long.

True. But they don’t care too much as the hive mind will smooth things over as everyone will be of one mind, therefore, no consequences. However the two, silver spears and boulders aren’t going to be appearing as the same organization. So they blame their ills on the boulders meanwhile cunningly getting resources to ‘fight’ them. Meanwhile building upon their plans

Lmao, yea. Disable is 11/10.

However, I mean more like even when we engaged the Venomoth for like 2 posts we didn't really get bodied like that. I'd probably want the Venomoth to have at least taken out some of our Pokemon or something.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Wow that was exactly what I was going to suggest

We have a trained and competent division of rangers so I don't really see this 'cunning' plan working since they would leave the evil team to the rangers rather than some civilian organization.

Then see this comment.

edit: rip, quoted the wrong one.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

I just feel like separating the Boulders and Spear completely would be the smartest way to stay hidden

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Then see this comment.

See that comment for what?

This one

It's a good way to stay hidden, but I don't see them being able to leverage that to garner the region's resources. We have a perfectly capable division of Rangers.

Imagine the spears discovering a hidden boulder base and eliminating it, arresting several people involved. Meanwhile this with zoom showing the police’s blunder. That should install some respect

The Police are useless the Rangers are far more competent. It wouldn't be as easy to trip them up.

Seems that whatever noise Terra was drawn to had caused them to wonder to this Growlithe's territory. And given Terra seemed raring to go it seemed a battle was inevitable,

Growlithe: Awww shit, here we go again.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

Good for publicity however, that’ll be undeniable

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Was that intentional?

If anything, you’ll gather public support

I want to say this was by design, but I'd be lying lol

How does this “mind control” thing work? Would be hard to pull off in an RP cuz autoing is disabled

 

[kyuukestu]

Yes, but also berated for taking the law into your own hands. So its a double edged sword there.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

Mine control? That’s like saying the galactic’s end game of destroying the universe is balanced lol

 

[SageNeb]

Huh?

 

[Mystic Zander]

Huh?

He’s basically saying he doesn’t need a reason because the games provide vague reasoning.

That’s at least how it seems to me.

I doubt that's what he meant. Not saying that cuz you said it but cuz I expect more from shen.

Zander is just twisting my words. In saying you don’t have to worry about it being OP our autoing if it’s just their endgame goal which probabaly won’t happen anyway

Actually it genuinely sounded like that was your reasoning, I even said I wasn’t sure.

You can be angry, but please don’t make assumptions.

 

[kyuukestu]

Let's discuss the relative strength of those Cops.

2-3 gym badge trainers sound like a good place to drop them?

I think the problem with ranking trainers based on badge number is that Gym Leader strength varies a lot. For example I would argue Sabrina is more powerful than say Blaine. To name an example.

I'd actually come from a Pokemon Origins angle.

Where Brock fights Red but first he asks him how many badges he has. He then went to a case of pokeballs and withdrew a pokemon appropriate for Red's level.

I'd like to run with that Idea as the Gym Leaders are all relatively equal, however they match their strength to whatever trainer is challenging them at the time.

So going to the Aquamarine Gym with 1 Gym badge will probably get you a battle against a Goldeen and Wartortle, but going to the Aquamarine Gym with 7 Gym badges gets you a full team of Blastoise, Seaking, Kingdra, Slowking, etc.


Of course, if we do this then it means the Gyms can be challenged in essentially any order you desire.

I like that idea better for Gym Leader strength.

Though we should keep the same order/paths just for consistency sake of where our cast is going.

Right, I do agree we should keep a general order just to make sure our cast is in the vicinity for interaction.

Would he kill those cops if he was given the opportunity?

 

[kyuukestu]

So as the only witnesses to this incident, Levi, Ellen, and Newt will probably be taken in by Officer Jenny for questioning.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Meh, they’re kind of shown to be a bit too incompetent

I completely forgot that was a thing in Origins
