Wait, MettatonCorner how many pots and flowers are there in the set?

There are 6 pots. 4 of them have yellow flowers, and two purple flowers. Each pot only has one flower.

Whoa. Well, we should get 2 bows and at least 4 full heals.

(So are we separating everything between ourselves in case something to the wagon or...)

Probably.

 

[User3164797979]

My pikmin can help carry things

(I can't carry much. Because well... you know... Eevee stuff and all that.)

Some bombs and a boomerang would be helpful. I don't want a smart bomb, though. If it accidentally blew up, a wagon, many items and probably some people would be destroyed.

 

[MushtheMushroom]

*Nana carries the sleeping Chrom, Mega Man and Luxray into the wagon with the bouffalants, which she assumes is wagon 1*

 

[Haydossy]

Here's what I think:
Bow x2
Franklin Badge x1 or Wasabi x2
Poke Ball x5
Full Heal x5
Boomerang x1
Bottle x1

This will leave us with $75 left.
Alternatively, we could not get either of them and have $95 left. What do you think?

Easily the franklin badge.

I don't know, freezing enemies sounds like it could be pretty useful.

I've got to go, but I leave Meta Knight as the co-co-captain.

Ok then, I guess we're getting the franklin badge.

You leave the store and board your wagons. As you do so, some of the wooden planks fall out. The sun is just beginning to touch the horizon, but you still have time to make some progress on the trail.

Just to be clear, did we buy over $100 worth of things? That pendant was dropped by a phoenix. I think it might revive someone should they die.

(I think it was a bit more than that. I dunno I wasn't the one buying.)

 

[MettatonCorner]

Yes you did, and I think you may want to take a closer look at that badge to see what Phoenix dropped it.

 

[Opossum]

Yes you did, and I think you may want to take a closer look at that badge to see what Phoenix dropped it.

In that case, I'll inspect the badge.



EDIT: OH HELL. It's an attorney badge, isn't it?

 

[Substitution]

(Can I eat it?)

 

[Opossum]

No, bad Eevee. Do not eat the badge.

 

[Substitution]

(But it looks tasty...)

 

[Opossum]

(But it looks tasty...)

And knowing our luck, we'll run into a wild prosecutor out there on the trail. And then what? At that point we won't even have the badge to defend us...

[MettatonCorner]

In that case, I'll inspect the badge.



EDIT: OH HELL. It's an attorney badge, isn't it?

Correct! Suddenly, a distressed oddish runs onto the path, being chased by a slugma. What do you do?

 

[Opossum]

(Do we even know law?)

I'm the Exalt, I'll make them.



EDIT: We bought Poke Balls, right? Here's what I think: we'll have Olimar throw Red Pikmin at the Slugma since they're immune to intense fire and lava. This will weaken it so one of us can catch it. Meanwhile, I'll try to parley with the Oddish by offering peace for getting rid of the Slugma. Hopefully, if all goes well, the Oddish will join us.

That reminds me, I forgot to ask your moves.

Growl
Bite
Quick Attack
Covet

 

[MushtheMushroom]

What do you think of the plan I edited in, guys?

Sounds good! I don't think Olimar is on, but we can just pretend he threw the reds. If we catch the oddish, can we name it Dipperin?

Is this the plan you are going with?

 

[Opossum]

Is this the plan you are going with?

Yes.

 

[MettatonCorner]

Yes.

The red pikmin land on the slugma and it retreats, but not before firing an ember towards the wagons. Nana, while fantasising about the oddish, is hit square in the chest! MushtheMushroom, you are burned!



Meanwhile, Chrom attempts calming down the oddish. It seems to be a bit calmer. Do you hit it with a poke ball, or continue calming it down?

We should calm it down more first. Maybe Eevee should approach it? Luxray would probably scare it.

 

[Substitution]

(Do I have to? Okay...)


I approach the Oddish.
