Pokemon: Tabletop Adventures - Episode 7-10

 Another bunch of PTA recordings. Things are really starting to get moving now. My PCs can rest assured in the fact that there is in fact a plot and it is incoming. Ask me about cross classing!

For my players, Mystic Update PHB


Episode 7 (45:05)
In which our heroes are attacked by a Scyther. It takes Dave out from the beginning, slicing into his arm, leaving the others to fend for themselves. Yuki does so by running away again. At the end of a climactic battle filled with fire and blood, Bonsai throws a pokeball! And fails. Dave passes out from the sheer excitement of it all. Persuading others not to attack, and with Casey's pokemon enduring a fearsome blow, Bonsai tries again, and succeeds! All rejoice! Or not, as Casey points out that they don't actually get the XP if the pokemon is caught.

Episode 8 (57:56)
In which our heroes are still buzzing from their battle. Casey calls their old friend Youngster Shelly, not realising, given the dence forest that it is in fact the middle of the night.They swiftly escape the research place, and are attacked by crickets! Dave incurs the wrath of the gods as he is assaulted by a powerful Noctowl, and after long last, the group reaches Pewter.

Episode 9 (FT:FY)
In which I guess I caught a Missingno because the recording is corrupted as fuck. I have taken out the worst of it, and there is a lot of content left, albeit with sudden jumps in dialogue, but really I only bothered with it for the sense of completion in my music library. Scratch that. It actually seems to have been replaced with episode 8. Suffice it to say I am pissed. The fuck. Off.

In short, the group wake up, and challenge the gym. Bonsai and Patrick gain badges, while Dave wisely forgoes battling for now on account of his only having Bird types. He subsequently takes a quick trip to the Pewter Battlegrounds.

Episode 10 (46:20)
In which our heroes earn money in the tried and true method of trainers everywhere. Gambling on the outcome of fights. This should really be Episode 9.5 but I thought it would be nicer to end the year on 10.

Finally, as something of a christmas present, I present to you a collection of the best clips from the recordings so far.

How is it holding that cookie? I don't know and I don't care.
