Norte 1.5

Norte 1.5 (also known as "John's Psychos") was a Pokemon campaign set 2 years after the events of Norte 1. The campaign was much darker than the previous, likely due to a different group of players taking part.

=Characters=

Charlie Weasley - A 17 year-old Breeder from Greenhorn.

Francais Baird - A 19 year-old Martial Artist also from Greenhorn.

Roland Wyoming - An 18 year-old psychic met in Deepdown.

=Setting=

While many of the towns and cities remained the same during the course of Norte 1, results of the first campaign were amplified by the 2 year gap, most noticeably, the state of Greenhorn town after the Battle of Greenhorn.

Overview
With the first roll of the campaign being to punch a 12 year-old in the face, the 1.5 crew quickly showed the GM that this wasn't going to be like Norte 1. Throughout the sessions the GM had many attempts to lead the players back to the story provided, each attempt was met with resistance. So much resistance, that in one case, the GM's PC was beaten within an inch of his life (or killed, depending on sources). Near the end of the campaign, John's Psychos saw a chance to create their own empire that, if continued, may have led to the destruction of the Norte region.

Opening Session
Introducing Francais and Charlie in the still ruined town of Greenhorn, the story started innocently. The pair went to Edgar (the acting professor) in search of starter Pokemon. Unsatisfied, Charlie requested another and Edgar failed to provide. Francais, prompted by Charlie, punched Edgar. The two left to gather supplies for their adventure but quickly returned to Edgar's mansion after running out of money. Knocking out and tying up the young professor, the teens looted the mansion, gathering supplies and making runs to a nearby pawn shop. To the distress of the GM, Edgar was forced to catch more Pokemon. During this time, Baird made an improvised timed explosive. Edgar was bound, gagged and blindfolded then placed in a trunk and carried out of town. When the mansion ker-fucking-plodded Francais and Charlie opened the trunk leaving the still-bound Edgar in the forest near a river of Bidoofs. The pair continued on to Deepdown.
