((I love Skarmory, only two weaknesses~  And I'll try to find one, I guess...))
Mark patted Skarmory's neck with his prosthetic limb. "Yeah, I guess he could. That would protect him from fire attacks, and since he has the ability sturdy he could protect houndoom for at least two attacks... And if that blobby thing (Note, does not know what the native Helnith pokemon are called, doesn't have dex info for this area  ) knows a few water type attacks, then it would be a great partner for Lapras." He hmmmed, putting a finger to his chin and patting in a considering fashion. "We should probably start with training those four, sandshrew and Ariados, since they will most likely be our front line of pokemon. They should be some of our strongest..."

Stacey stops by the Ranger Base, to see if they possibly knew where the HS Scrubba Dubb usually ends up, when it comes to Tidepath.

Mark and Mina:
"Mostly, I'm worried about Magnitude. If Skarmory can keep Houndoom off the ground, that's good enough."
"We should probably start with training those four, sandshrew and Ariados, since they will most likely be our front line of pokemon. Tehy should be some of our strongest..."
Mina nodded, perusing her Pokedex while she thought. "All right. How do you want to start?"
----------------
Stacey:
You talk to the Operator behind the front desk. She tells you she's not familiar with the ship, but if it's a personal vessel it's probably at one of the Little Docks; most commercial vessels go to the Grand Docks instead.

She would guess at the ship being commercial, so she asks where to find the Grand Docks.

Mark pointed at the four pokemon that would be partners, "How about we get these guys used to working together? After that, we can start coordinating teams and such."

The Operator points you to the east side of town before a voicemail comes in, making further conversation impossible.
----------------
Mark and Mina:
Mina nodded. "Sounds good." She looked over the Pokemon assembled for a moment. "And we should probably start with just two at a time to keep our chance of accidents down, and work our way up from there—does that work for you?" ((If Mark agrees: )) "So who goes first?"

"Thank you," Stacey quickly lets out, letting the operator get back get back to her work. She leaves the building, and heads for the docks in the direction the operator pointed.

((Correct.))
You head east. This part of town is mostly warehouses, with a bar near the docks ("The Singing Dewgong"), lighthouse, portmaster, and a run-down building with a makeshift sign nailed to the front declaring itself to be the "NEW Geology Club Headquarters" mixed in. Three huge docks stretch out into the water where numerous large watercraft are tied, and even this early in the morning the area seems fairly busy with sailors unloading cargo.

Stacey starts looking for the ship. She asks a few people if they know where it is. Maybe they have seen it before, and know what it looks like, or they are part of its crew.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." He looked at the pokemon and pointed at Skarmory and Houndoom, "Those two will be the hardest to coordinate, it might be a good idea to train them first, and maybe most..." Now that training he had given to skarmory almost seemed to be wasted, and maybe a bad idea now, since the bird would tire quicker than the dog...

"Good." Christian nodded "If no one has any new ideas or problems with the plan, then we will go ahead right as we planned. Christian stood there, looking at the grunts for about 10 seconds waiting to see if anyone had any objections. When none came he simply nodded. "Could you get out your spearrow for a second?" Christian asked "I got to tell him what whistling noise it is suppose to respond to.
After the grunt had gotten out his spearrow, and Christian had taught it how his whistling sounds like, the little bird was sent to fly in circles over Mr. Blake's house. "Move Out!" Christian ordered and headed to his position.
((So the Spearrow will here a whistling noise from Christian, and in turn it will cry out at which point the grunts will start their attack and geodude will magnitude the hell out of the house. I'm a freaking genius!))

Stacey:
A couple of sailors point you to Grand Dock One, about halfway down. You follow their direction and find your goal: it's a small-to-mid-sized ship, at least compared to the others docked here, and the words H.S. Scrubba Dubb are stenciled on the side in bright blue.
A few crewmen are unloading crates while a nerdy-looking man in a windbreaker makes notes on a clipboard. After a moment he looks up and sees you. "Can I help you?" he asks. His tone is distant.
----------------
Mark and Mina:
Mina calls back all her Pokemon but Houndoom and the pair of you begin training.
It's something of a trial to get the Dark dog balanced on the bird in the first place, as Skarmory's body is slick and Houndoom has no thumbs to hold on with. Once there, keeping him there is an additional trial, for most of the same reasons. It's pretty obvious to both trainers Skarmory has never had something on his back like this before, and Houndoom gets nervous every time his paws slid, usually making the problem worse.
((Skarmory: 7, 8, 7
Houndoom: 10, 6, 10

Skarmory has to stop after about three hours due to fatigue. But by then, Houndoom is managing to stay on board consistently if Skarmory moves around on the ground, though he can't stay put for more than a few seconds if Skarmory tries to take off with him on the bird's back or if Skarmory manages anything faster than a stately glide (Houndoom having to leap to the bird's back in that case). Mina is pleased with their progress however.
((*hammering away at riding mechanics*))
----------------
Christian:
Your Grunts salute and the four of you move to your positions. It's late enough now there is no one out to see you, and the town is quiet.
You cut around to the back, while your Grunts take the front and sides of the building; from your position you can see the dim glow from the forge, which opens out on this side.
As planned, Conner goes up to the front door and starts knocking. After a few knocks fail to get a response, he starts pounding on the door.

((Drop peck))
Mark recalled Skarmory after giving him a friendly pat on the neck. "You did good today buddy." He reassured the flying type. He picked up Lapras's pokeball and sent him out instead. "Should we train these two together then? Oh, maybe we could use three of our pokemon! Your little blobby thing to heal Lapras while my Lapras uses things like sing and has a mock battle with one of your pokemon?"

((Drop what? Your Skarmory only has 6 moves, which is what we are allowed to have here.))
Christian started to slowly count to 30 to see if the door would be opened. After counting full time he called out his geodude and whistled a sharp whistle, before storming towards the forge. When he got close enough, he ordered his geodude to magnitude the place.

Mark and Mina:
((B-E-T-A is correct; I just bolded it to advertise that it's a new attack.))
"We can do that," Mina agreed, calling back Houndour and calling out Oodramer. "How about...Pidgey? He can Sand Attack so Oodramer can try to hit Lapras under battlefield conditions. It isn't Smokescreen, but it's close."
----------------
Christian:
Just before the attack hits you hear the door open and Mr. Blakes ask in a weary voice "What do you want, I'm closed for to—"
Then the attack hits. The building shakes, sprinkling dust from the ceiling. You hear shouting, the sounds of fist on flesh and of Pokeballs opening on the other side of the building.

The man's interest is swiftly caught. He puts the clipboard under his arm, and in the process you notice his left hand is a hook.
"I'm Captain Boom." He pauses as what you said sinks in, and mutters, "I told him Bandra would chase him out of Rieva sooner or later," before continuing normally. "What does Charlie need?"

"Should've known." The Captain responds with a good natured groan. It seems to get darker as the Captain replies, "I can get the spices out of the hold, but you'll have to pay for them. That'll be 1500 PD."

Mark and Mina:
((Nope, six.  Also you can overwrite HM moves as normal moves.))
"Okay then." Mina calls out her Pidgey and the two of you begin training some more.

After about five hours of training, a break for lunch and a few trips to the Pokemon Center to restore the energy of the sparring Pokemon, everyone involved is covered in soaking wet grit, but the results are good.
