Pokemon Mystery Murder

[Hoennstarter]

Unless you have to have twenty people to play you might have to find an alternative because PT (and FG) has always had trouble getting people to sign up for this type of thing. If you want I caaan see about posting a blog entry about this but yeah. Blog entries have never really worked for me in the past so.

Its ok if this doesn't work. But I would really like it to. And the blog would be good to please. You dont have to if you don't want to though.

 

[Golden_spider]

Hoennstarter you might wanna lower the number from 20 to like 15 or 10... just a idea if you can't get enough people...

 

[Hoennstarter]

Actually yeah... I will make it just ten people.

 

[waveguidebuizel]

Hey, this looks interesting. Reminds me of Mafia. I'd like to join as a shinx. I guess female, just to balance the ratio a bit. :) Hmm, let's name her Lyn.

 

[Cardinal]

Could I join as a Female Medicham named Jessie.

 

[Affliction]

I'll sign.

-An Abra named "Dr. Who" please, it's male.

Finally, we got our list. Here is the story. There will be two Non-player-characters just so everyone gets a chance to vote and to make the storyline flow right. Ok lets get started.

PMM Part 1 - Intro

Pidgey wanted to have all of her friends for dinner at her older brother, Pidgeotto's mansion. So, she called all of her friends to dinner. "Where are we going!" asked Ryudo the Sandshrew. "We are going to my brother's mansion," said Pidgey. Soon, everyone arrived at the mansion. Of course, Pidgey had the key, and opened the door. "Pidgeotto!!! I brought company!!!" He didn't answer. Everyone entered the mansion to look around. After about 5 minutes, the lights went out for three seconds. When they turned on, the shrieking sound from Lyn, the Shinx. Pidgey ran to the scene only to find Lyn and Bagu the Heracross standing over Pidgeotto's dead body. She burst into tears when the others surrounded the scene. A Rufflet, known as Sherlock, also a guest at the dinner, started looking around for clues. He then saw a note on the dead body. It said, "All of you will go down, one by one." The note gave the "detective" the chills. The police arrived and everyone was sent back to their home. Everyone was a suspect until police proved that Pidgey wasn't involved at all. She was safe. But in the messed up Pokemon country these 11 suspects lived in, the rule was they had to vote on who to execute.

That was the first story. Start voting. In the next story, one of the players will get killed. You can not vote on Pidgey. The player with the most votes will be executed.

 

[Lycanroc]

Is it okay if I join this? I'll be Sparky the male Jolteon. Or is 10 the maximum? (Something tells me it is... but...)

Sure. I will just add you to the list. The original plan was to have 20 people but of course that is not happening so yeah. Your added.

 

[Squirrel]

Given that he was stood over the dead body I'm voting for Bagu the Heracross as the murderer - it had to be! Unless we're meant to do this in PM then oops!

 

[Hoennstarter]

It's ok, your supposed to do it on this thread.

 

[waveguidebuizel]

Yeah, I second Bagu as the murderer. He had no reaction, even though he was over the dead body.

 

[Serperion]

Agreeing with Waveguidebuizel and AlexOzzyCake gotta say that Bagu seems a bit odd in this sense, I mean Lyn, The Shinx I highly doubt is the murderer so yeh... I'll nominate Bagu the Heracross

Also on a side note can my character be named Gordon, The Houndour?

Now, according to the type chart, Flying-Types aren't weak to either Bug or Fighting. Normal Types are weak to Fighting-Type, but the Flying Type nullifies it. Flying Types are weak to Electric... That means Lyn could have caused much more pain to Pidgeotto then Bagu, unless of course Bagu had a Rock-Type move hidden up his sleeve.

Now, lets look at the type chart again: Electric is resistant to Flying, Fighting Type is weak to Flying and Bug is also weak to Flying. If Bagu tried to kill Pidgeotto, Pidgeotto would have easily put up a fight and it would have easily escaped the scene. But Lyn... Pidgeotto would have trouble fighting it, because of the type chart, and Lyn would easily kill Pidgeotto with a strong Electric Type move.

Then, Lyn makes a scream and tries to pin it on Bagu. To me, it fits without any problems.

Besides, just because somebody screamed doesn't mean they didn't do the crime.

This is how the events most likely happened, from my gatherings of evidence...

The Pokémon decided to explore the mansion in groups, well, at least Bagu and Lyn anyway. What the others didn't know, was that Lyn had a fiendish plot to kill Pidgeotto, as they probably hated each other through and through... And eventually, Lyn was in luck, as she and Bagu managed to find Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto greeted the two firmly, and turned back to meet the others when Lyn started shocking Pidgeotto repeatedly, while Pidgeotto stopped for a second, and tried to run away. He was too weak, however, as Lyn was pulling him back with more of her electric abilities, as Bagu looked at the scene, frozen in horror. Then, as soon as Pidgeotto was dead, Lyn quickly made a note, placed it on Pidgeotto and gave a giant scream which caused everyone to arrive at the scene, which is where we are now. This is the reason Bagu's expression didn't change. He had witnessed Lyn kill Pidgeotto slowly.


Well, it's what I think anyway, and if Lyn does not get executed today, I bet I'm the person who would be killed in the next part of the story because Lyn doesn't want me to gather any more evidence against her. And if she does, we have more evidence to who would be the murderer, probably enough to give her away.

It's hard to say what Lyn would do if they turned out to be the murderer. If she went after you, Umbreon, that would be obvious. It would depend on how sly she is and whether or not she would risk trying to kill off the person who accused her.

That said though, you brought up some really good points. It didn't specify what Bagu's reaction was; he could have very well have been shocked. That said it wouldn't be the first time someone screamed after seeing the dead body "for the first time" so it doesn't look like their the one who did it.

I kind of want to lean towards Lyn here myself because she's the less obvious choice. More sneaky you could say. But at the same time the room went pitch black. If it was electricity that killed Pidgeotto it would have brightened up the room. Either way these two may not even be the murderer as the culprit could have easily killed Pidgeotto without having to be right next to him. Hnn...

I'll have an official answer my next post if that is okay. Need to think on this a bit more!

I've been editing that post a lot of times, so I'm not sure if I got that last paragraph in while you were reading.

Then again, if she IS the murderer, than she's in a lose-lose situation. She kills me, she gives herself away. She doesn't, I would uncover more and more weird things against her when she starts appearing more in murder scenes.

If she isn't the murderer, I'm quite stumped unless it's Bagu. He's the only person who was at the scene other than Lyn and Pidgeotto.

Damn, I forgot that electricity brights up stuff. Wait, but if the others were pretty far away, they wouldn't notice the shock, would they? And all of them were probably asking out loud what had happened, so they couldn't hear the static. But those are pretty bad points, it's likely that they'd notice anyway.

But then again, WHY did the lights go out? That's a very important question. Power cuts don't happen often if you know how to use your electricity, and it also can't have gone out on it's own because the whole mansion went out. There's only one conclusion: Lyn sabotaged them. While they were out, Lyn couldn't have used Electric attacks as they would have brightened up the place, as you said. However, the possibilities don't stop there.

Lyn could use Ice Fang. Very effective against Pidgeotto's type. And not only that, if Lyn DIDN'T have the move, she must've had Bite instead. Not only does it not create any light, but it could've easily caused Pidgeotto to flinch all the way through the murder. Even if Pidgeotto didn't flinch at one part of the murder, Pidgeotto wouldn't know where to escape, so it's a goner anyway.

This is how the events most likely happened...

@umbr30n

Oh, when you were laying out the scenario I just realized how the lights would've gone out, by an electrical surge!

We must see the Tungsten!

 

[Squirrel]

To be fair, we don't actually know when the murder happened, so perhaps it's a bit rash to be blaming the primary witnesses when the death could've happened hours earlier... Bagu would be packing a strong Stone Edge attack which would have easily been enough to take down the bird, but where is the evidence? Surely there'd be leftover rocks or sharp cuts on the body or loud noises coming from the room, but we've been presented with none of the above. It's possible the scream was just an attempt to pin the blame on Bagu, or it could've been a reaction to his attack, or perhaps it was just a genuine shriek at finding a dead body. Regardless, Bagu is still seeming like the likely suspect to me so I'll keep my vote placed on him.

 

[waveguidebuizel]

Haha, I'm excited that the mystery isn't so open-and-shut!

AlexOzzyCake has a point - we don't know when it happened. If we assume it took place during the darkness, that means the murder was commited in just three seconds. In that case, I don't think Umbr30n's scenario would fit. Also, if death was due to multiple bites from Lyn, then I'd think the police would notice blood around her mouth. Three seconds isn't enough time to kill and clean off for sure. I'm willing to bet that the murder took place beforehand, and Pidgeotto was only put on display during the three-second blackout. Lyn and Bagu just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
