Session 12: The Magician

Violet was looking forward to her vacation and by Arceus she deserved it! She had earned her second Gym Badge, taken out a haunt all by herself, and had thwarted even MORE of Team Gravity’s plans! Even with the boys trying to get her to do ‘anything else’.

But her vacation would have to wait, because at the moment all her attention was focused on the Pokémon Egg given to her by Sabrina, an egg which was getting ready to hatch. “Get over here!”

The three of them were currently surrounding the egg. “Oh, it’s shaking!” “Should we do something?”

“Don’t touch it!” None of them had ever seen a Pokémon Egg hatch before and Violet was honestly unsure what if anything they should do. So until she thought the little Pokémon needed help she figured that it would be better to simply not touch it.

The egg continued to shake and the cracks got bigger and grew. For minutes the three humans sat around the egg, hardly breathing as they waited in anticipation. Until eventually there was a final significant crack that split the shell in half. The shell then shattered, small little bits of shell flying off in all directions.

“Oh, what’s that?” “It’s cute.”

Sabrina must have had a sense of humor. Because out of all the possible Pokémon that Violet had considered, this was far down the list.

[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Meditite_(Pok%C3%A9mon](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Meditite_(Pok%C3%A9mon)

Meditite, a Fighting Psychic Meditite had hatched out of the egg. The small baby Pokémon looked around the room, its eyes wide as it took in its surroundings. Eventually its eyes lock onto Violet’s. She doesn’t hear a voice, but rather feels a psychic feeling come from the baby Pokémon as it looks at her questionably.

Mama?

“Oh, you’re so cute!” Reaching for the Meditite, Violet lifts it up and hugs the little thing. “Yes, I’m your Mama!” The small Pokémon grabs onto Violet’s chest, nuzzling his face into her soft breasts.

“What is it?” “It’s kind of cute?”

Grinning, Violet tells the boys. “This cute little fella is a Meditite.” She looks at the little Pokémon who is hiding his face in her chest. “Can you say hi to your Daddies?”

“Daddies?” “Daddies?”

The little Pokémon glances at the two men out of the corner of an eye. After a few seconds of silence Violet feels another psychic feeling. Not words, but rather a feeling.

Daddies?

Judging from how their expressions change, the Twins heard (not really the right word, but Violet didn’t know what else to call it) it as well. “Bro, did you hear that?” “I mean, kind of Bro?”

Now less shy, the little Meditite fully lifts its head out of Violet’s chest to look at both Twins with wide eyes. “Why don’t you say hi to your daddies? Momma’s going to get a shower.” She handed off the Meditite to Ken(at least she thought it was Ken). “Then we can leave!” She spared one quick glance at them. The Twins were staring wide eyed at the baby Pokémon who looked back at them with an equally wide eyed curious look.

A short time later as Violet was stepping out of the shower she saw Lou, the Meditite, and Lou’s Hitmonchan standing in a row, “Hiya!” doing punching drills as if they were back at the Saffron Fighting Dojo.

It was honestly adorable! “Eee! So cute!”

Since they were in Celadon, the Twins wanted to try their luck at gambling. Violet personally wanted to see a show, so she wished them luck, told them to not gamble all of their money away (she wasn’t going to give them any of HER money to lose on the slots), and went to look for a show.

She eventually settled on a Magic Show. “The show is about to start Mikey!” The little Meditite was sitting next to her in a seat, holding onto Violet’s hand as he took in his surroundings.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you the entertainment for this evening. Give it up for the Amazing Magical Randy!” As the announcer finished his introduction most of the lights went out, except for a few stage lights which focused on the stage. The stage filled with smoke which started to creep off the stage. Then there was a boom as the entire auditorium was lit up with a bright flash as a pyrotechnic went off, clearing the smoke.

“Welcome, welcome! I’m so glad you could make it!” The magician gives an exaggerated flourish of his cape, clearing some of the smoke and releasing a few Pidgey which fly over the audience. “Now, how about we get the show started?!”

The crowd starts to clap and cheer in excitement immediately in enthusiasm. “For my first trick, I ask everyone to please look at my assistant” The Magician steps to the side to reveal a Hypno that had been behind him. “If you would all be so kind…”

Well, it was part of the show. Gazing at the Hypno, Violet and the rest of the crowd watched its pendulum swing back and forth. “Good, good, now everybody raise your hands and give the peace sign.”

Following the Magician’s instructions, Violet does as she is told. After all, why wouldn’t she? It was part of the show. But then she felt Feu tugging at her leg, as if something was wrong.

Wait? Why would the Magician want to hypnotize the entire audience? Something was wrong? This wasn’t right! “What are you doing!”

“Oh?” Surprised, the Magician and the Hypno stop what they were doing to look at Violet. “Looks like one of them managed to break your Hypnosis partner.”

Pointing an accusatory finger at the man, Violet yells. “What do you think you’re doing!?” Out of the corner of her eyes she sees Mike mimicking her pose and Violet has to remind herself to not gush over how cute he is.

“I thought it would be obvious...”

“You!? Argh!” She honestly doesn't know how to respond to that, so Violet decides to skip the banter and just take care of this creep. “Will-O-Wisp!”

Coming out of the shadow, Feu sends little bits of flame and lights the Hypno on fire. Both the Hypno and the Magician cry out in surprise. “You insolent bitch! Hypnosis!”

Violet then sees Feu fall to the ground asleep. “Damn it! Not now!” She focuses her powers through Feu and manages to wake him up. “Hex that bastard!” Focusing through him, they send ghostly chains towards the Hypno.

“Blast it all! Zen Headbutt!” Charging through the chains, the Hypno tries to slam its head into Feu. But the fiery ghost easily floats out of the way.

Violet commands Feu to “Hex it!” and the Hypno quickly falls to the super effective attack.

“You blasted Witch!” The Magician recalls his Hypno and sends out a Poliwhirl. “Water gun!”

Violet watched helplessly as the water gun collided with Feu. “Get back Feu!” She then grabbed a Pokémon Ball and sends out her Oddish. “Olly, use Mega Drain!”

“Don’t think you’ve won you witch! Body Slam!”

“Mega Drain! Who are you calling a Witch you Bitch!”

“Body Slam! You of course you cow!”

“Acid! Pervert!”

“Body Slam!”

“Shit!” The Poliwhirl actually won! Maybe Violet shouldn’t have neglected training Olly. “Go Magnemite! Discharge!”

Violet’s Magnemite is able to finish off the Poliwhirl. But the Magician then sends out a Diglett and calmly tells it to use “Magnitude.”

“Fuck!” Magnemite isn’t going to be able to take another hit like that. “Light Screen!”

“Humph, Magnitude.” As Violet recalls her Magnemite she starts to realize that she might actually lose this battle. “Is that the best you can do little girl?” Who else was she going to send out, Feu?

That was when Mike leaped out and hit the Diglett with a **** Palm. “HAYA!”

“What the?! Hit it with Magnitude!” To Violet’s astonishment the Meditite easily leaped out of the way of the ground attack. “Damn it! Hit it!” It was almost as if Mike was playing with the Diglett. A notion which was ended when the Meditite attacked the Diglet with a Zen Headbutt, and then another one.

“Blast it!” The Magician recalls the fainted Diglett and sends out a Beedrill. “Twin Needle!”

Mike is just able to dodge the attack. “Mike! Get out of there! Feu, Inferno!” Feu follows her instruction and leaps into battle and blasts the Beedrill with a fiery attack.

Only to be attacked by a Dark move, “Assurance!” which sends Feu flying back as the fiery ghost faints. Mike immediately jumps back into the fray and slams the Beedrill with a Zen Headbutt.

Seeing his Beedrill faint, the Magician sends out his next Pokémon. “Go Vulpix!” But the Vulpix goes down even quicker. “Shit! Voltorb!” The Voltorb doesn’t last much longer either.

And just like that, it was over, all of the Magician’s Pokémon are defeated and Miky stood undefeated. “You did it Mikey!” Violet grabs the little Pokémon and gives him the strongest hug she can. “You were amazing!”

“Well, that is heartwarming and all, but I must be off!” The Magician then starts to run away.

Or he tries to anyway. “Get him Mikey!” She calls upon her supernatural powers to slow the man down. As the man tries to flee, Mikey practically flies at the man and hits him in the middle of the back with a **** Palm. “Woot! You got him!”

The man disabled, Mikey grins up at Violet and she feels a familiar sensation in her mind.

Did I do good Mama?

“Oh yes you did!” She grabs the little Pokémon and hugs him again. “You did VERY, very good Mikey!” As she hugs the Meditite, rubbing the top of his head she glances at the **** Magician. “Now, what to do with him?”

Turns out, Violet didn’t have to do anything. The noise of their Pokémon Battle alerted security who showed up shortly after the battle was done. Security which was followed a few minutes later by Giovanni. “I supposed I should thank you for handling this potential embarrassment.”

Violet agreed, especially since she was supposed to be a guest on vacation. But she didn’t want to be rude. “Well, I wasn’t just going to let him… Huh, what was he trying to do?” Violet didn’t actually know. She’d stopped him before he had actually done anything.

“It is better that you don’t know.” That simply made her want to know all the more. “Still, you did save me from a potential lawsuit. Maybe even multiple.” Giovanni reaches into his suit and hands Violet an envelope that she knows is full of cash. “Go and buy yourself something nice. Celadon is known for being a place where you can buy anything.”

“Thank you.” Right, spend the money in the stores he probably owns. Still, Celadon was famous for being THE PLACE to buy anything you could imagine. She supposes she could find a few good ones. “Come on Mikey, let's go shopping!”

Violet was proud to say that she didn’t go overboard, even if she did spend a LOT! An Eviolite stone for Jem, a Muscle Band for Mikey “Oh, don’t you just look adorable wearing this!?”, and the Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Thunder Punch set of Technical Manuals. In all this was turning out to be pretty good end of the day.

Now she just had to find the boys.

Author and Game Notes

If my math is right, Violet has been pregnant for about 2 weeks now (14 days). Just keeping track is all

Ok, so I am just going to hatch the Egg and reveal it, especially since I’ve dumped so much XP into it. It is a Meditite. Why a Meditite? Because I already decided that it would be a Psychic type, but it also being a Fighting type lets the Boys play Daddy to the baby Meditite.

Since they ARE at a Casino and are young dumb kids, how does their Gambling go? Violet Research (d8) aided by the Twins Tactics (d6); 1, 3; I could use the “Momentum” rules on page 109 to make the roll worse in exchange for a Momentum. But Violet already has 4 Momentum banked. So I’ll use one of those to **** a reroll. 1, 4; Better, but not by much. I’ll say that they broke even.

That said, the boys and Violet don’t just spend the day gambling. Time to figure out what happens!

Things actually go as planned; they go to the casino, have a fun night on the town, and go to see a show.

Enhanced or somehow worse; Ok, that is weird…

Ok, so what I am thinking of is that the day and night goes mostly as planned, but at the end of the day they are at a magic show. The Stage Magician uses real “Mystical Powers” to “Command” the audience to hand over their valuables. He does this using a “Simple” pendulum.

I’ll make this a contest! Best 2 out of 3

That was a HUGE BATTLE and also the only battle of the session! So I’m going to give Violet +2 Pokemon XP.

Is Violet able to apprehend the Magician? Supernatural d8 aided by d8 **** Palm v Magician Supernatural d8; 6, 6 v 5. YES!

Now obviously Giovanni is going to be happy that Violet stopped his guests from being robbed. It might make him look bad. How good is her reward? (d6) 4 Average, +4 Money! Really got to start spending this!

Wait, not only is Violet in the Casino but she is in Celadon; which has a department store. She could just buy a shit load of Technical Manuals (I know the game calls them Machines but I’m calling them Manuals).

Manuals to Buy; Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch(Charles will like this one!); each at 3 money each that will be 9. Miky can learn all of these moves, so if Violet thinks he needs the coverage he can pop and swap these moves as needed.

Violet will also buy Mikey a Muscle Band (+1 some moves) (3 Money) and an Eviolite (+1 defense) (2 Money) for Jem.

I’ll also swap out Accupressure for Work Up, the move honestly wasn’t that good.

Wait, I just had an idea! What if I stat out Mike as a PC Pokemon instead of a Regular Pokemon!? I am imagining Mikey more as their weird adopted baby than as just a Pokemon.
