Kinoko Origins - Ep 12: Amanita Aberrations
The Quest Company
Hello class, everyone get to your seats, we’ve got a lot to cover today. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers, and things are only going to ramp up from here. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques had overcome what felt like the universe itself throwing something that they were incredibly ill-equipped for directly at them in the form of two large, territorial bird Pokémon. Their unlikely victory was a strong reminder of the power of wits and the mind over sheer force, and an important confidence boost leading into the encounter to come. Now that our young Initiates are...

Alright everyone, settle in, settle in. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. As I’m sure you’ll recall, we last left Virgil and Jacques on the road to Amanita Town with Pandora as their chaperone. She set up a training exercise for them to try their hand at tracking, and the boys took it upon themselves to battle two large and ferocious beasts that they found in the process of attacking each other - a far cry from, well, crying at the thought of sparring with each other. Now that their adrenaline is pumping, Team Catapult has decided to try their luck looking for...

The Quest Company
Hello everyone, please take a seat. Today we will be continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques took care of some final business before departing for Amanita Town with Pandora. Because a backpack to put your Slowpoke in is very important. The team hit the road in the Iron Chariot and stopped after a while for a little training session. While Pandora searched the area, the boys decided to do a little wild Pokémon catching, with… varying degrees of success. Now that their crying is nearly at an end, it’s time for some real on-the-job training,...

Now that their adrenaline is pumping, Team Catapult has decided to try their luck looking for something bigger and badder to fight. Is this plan as ill-advised as it sounds? Will it pay off for Virgil and Jacques to hit the EXP grind this hard? Or will their hubris be their downfall? Pandora’s on standby in case they royally mess this up, so let’s find out what happens in our latest installment… Food Chain!
