Tag didn't notify you?

Weird weird, I'll watch it for that. Anything you wanted to add or you agree with our plans thus far?

nope!

EDIT: Agreed

 

[CloudySkyLoftyMoon]

There we go! Esther's in Malie City. I imagine she'd be able to find Chintana there since it's probably the best place to take pictures, yea? oldantiques

We can pick up G somewhere along the way and from there, head for Mt. Lanakila where we'll find Saiun. Sounds good?

Hecotoro CHUUYAS_HAT

 

[oldantiques]

That works for me!

 

[Hecotoro]

Just a quick check, this takes place after the contest and before the next one, right?

 

[CloudySkyLoftyMoon]

Correct, it takes place the day after the Exeggutor Island Contest. August 12th to be precise.

 

[CloudySkyLoftyMoon]

Still with us? oldantiques

Yup. Was offline for a bit due to New Year celebrations.

No worries. Gonna be moving the group forward at around the end of the day, but I'll have Esther leave her phone number with Chintana so we can work him back in when you're ready.

So our general plan is to have this wrap up with a 'Raid Boss' battle against an Alolan Ninetales w/ some support Pokémon like Froslass. Do y'all want to fit yourselves into that or do you have any alternate suggestions?

My thoughts are

252+ SpA Tera Steel Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Ninetales-Alola with an ally's Aurora Veil: 464-548 (132.5 - 156.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

 

[CloudySkyLoftyMoon]

Okay, so let me re-phrase my earlier question.

What are the objectives (if any) our respective characters have?


Esther's primary objective was to catch an Alolan Sandshrew; since her conversation with Altair, she's decided not to progress with that. Instead, she will take this time to sight see and have some fun with her Pokémon.

TL; DR Esther's objective is to have a winter fun-day.


What objectives do the other characters have at the moment and let's see how we can tie them together then wrap up with our raid fight.

Edit Appended:

As I understand, G's goal is to obtain an Ice Stone for her Vulpix.

If no one has objections, then I think we should turn this into a Journey. Mt. Lanakila is based on Mauna Loa & Mauna Kea, which are two volcanoes—one active, one dormant. It is supposed to be a big mountain and in the games its divided into several areas: Base, Upper Reaches (Lower), Upper Reaches (Middle), Icy Cave, Upper Reaches (Upper), and the Summit.

There's a lot we can do with this.

Spoiler: Long Version

I did some looking around and there are generally two ways to climb Mauna Loa—one is a 'difficult' hike but it is a hike rather than a climb and can be done within a day with little more than food, water, and some good winter gear; the other is a much longer hike that's more gradual, starts in a forest, and typically takes 3 – 5 days.

With Pokémon I'm sure we could make better time than most hikers and from the perspective of fun, I suggest we take the shorter but more difficult day hike.

Overall, I think we do a little climbing over two days tops; one day if we want to move on quickly.

We can Hike, traverse some lava fields, navigate rough terrain, ice climb, then make an ice cave or igloo or something to camp, etc.

I don't think there's much snow at the base since its summer, but once we get about mid-way then it should be a snowy trip from there-on out.

TL ; DR

We should do a 1 or 2 day Summit with some cool terrain/activities along the way.

Post above updated, please give it a look and let me know what you guys think

 

[Hecotoro]

I'm in

 

[oldantiques]

I'm good with that. Chintana's there for the job/take pictures.

 

[CHUUYAS_HAT]

same here

 

[Cresion Breezes]

Yeah why not

 

[CloudySkyLoftyMoon]

Okies, here are some images of Mt Lanakila in-game and Mauna Loa irl, so you have an idea of what terrain we'll encounter:

Spoiler

Upper Reaches (Lower)​

Activity: Hiking, bird watching, vibing

Upper Reaches (Middle)​

*note, these are lava fields; we can do something funny-dangerous here.



Activity: Rock Climbing, Lava surfing

Icy Cave​

*I suggest a mini boss fight here, vs Tyranitar

Upper Reaches (Upper)​

*Vs Ninetales & co here.

Summit​

*pictures and enjoy the view





And here's what it looks like in the anime:

Esther, Altair, and G are already together so we want to figure out how we can get Saiun and Chintana to join up. I figure Saiun isn't too far, but what've yall got in mind?

[Hecotoro]

I think I'm mainly gonna focus on the snowy side

Any thoughts on my earlier question? CHUUYAS_HAT oldantiques

Would you like us to post freely until you see a chance to bring yourselves into the situation? And do you have any comments on the events/activities I'd suggested?

I totally missed the other one, but yeah, I'll wait on the chance
the lava surfing looks like a peak moment
