IPF Whitney quest equivalent

[Tiki]

There's a lack of IPF quests so here's my idea that's the IPF version of the quest involving gym leader whitney

First, to start, this quest have Detective side, Bike Patrol side, Operations (IDK the difference between bike patrol and operations), some Negotiator, and we can throw in training officer for some parts that could be a double battle. This should be like the third? IPF quest the RPer takes, which is a good time to start training newbies? We'll just ignore the part our own RPers don't have IPF coach/trainers due to new IPF administrative upgrade.

Definitely detective and training office side? IDK about the rest could count as patrol

Mission:
Gym Leader Whitney's assistant Lass Cassie had reported that she felt that she was being stalked! Stick with her for a day (or two? if needed) and observe her surrounding to see who the true suspect is! Whitney is busy with gym leader challengers and other administrative duties so she won't be able to help Cassie, which is why she recommended Cassie to request IPF help!

How this works:
After all the intro posts thing, the player will disguise as an out of town uncle/auntie visiting Cassie while she's showing you about her day. Player will meet at Cassie's house in the morning on her way to the Goldenrod City gym. (player post)

(mod post) Cassie will go about her morning as the day follows, and afternoon on her way home. Clues will be dropped here for various suspects on the lists

(player post) the RPer can confront them on the second day (the chance to meet them again and confront them)

(mod post) Cassie will go about her day again, and if the player decided to engage certain characters, a battle will ensues (duh)
any incorrect guesses will also start a battle. although the encounters must be in order. (so if you don't suspect any morning people, you could battle both afternoon people. or if the afternoon people was incorrect, player will go into THIRD day and confront the morning people)

(player post) once the suspect is captured, quest ends, and Whitney will thank player for help and offer a private gym battle session to fit her busy schedule (also note IDK if the TR version lets you heal in before the gym quest)

now the suspects:
the suspect can be randomized for each quest, or randomized on the fly if they're the suspect. The clue is they will appear twice. Both in morning and afternoon. Cassie can also give a slight clue in her description. They also each have their own reason to follow Cassie


Super Nerd wants to ask out Cassie so he wants to learn about her. Yeah, that's it, not to be stereotyping, sorry.
He will have two Pokemon. I am thinking either one of these combos to mix thing up:
Porygon and Bronzor, Vulpix and Growlithe, Carbink and Baltoy

Double battle available if we allow player to be training a newbie as well?

Cassie's clue will be she sees a glimmer/ bright light/ reflection something with glasses, or Porygon/ Bronzor choice.
Smokey smell? for Vulpix/ Growlithe
smells like dirt/rocks for Carbink/ Baltoy


Furisode wants to research about this Normal Type Gym (that is kind of 50% fairy type gym). Her motive is to open a gym in Johto and she wants to see how strong Whitney's assistant is.

Her Pokemon is Spritzee or Swirlix. If the RPer was also training a newbie under their wing, both Pokemon for a double battle.
Floette/ Comfrey works too?

Cassie's clue will be she smells something nice and different from her fragrant and morning/afternoon food.

/
Madam/Expert lost her daughter years ago, and is having trauma resurfaced thinking Cassie was her daughter because they looked alike. She's checking to see if Cassie's behavior or mannerism would be anything like her daughter...

If we're going with Expert, her Pokemon can be Meditite/ Combusken/ Hawlucha,
if we're going with Madam, her Pokemon can be Lopunny/ Purrloin/ Sableye/ Roselia.
This will be a single battle, but her choice of Pokemon can be randomized.

Cassie's clue will be she thought she hears shoes clicking: high heels (Madam) or wooden slippers (expert)

Note that the suspect can be walking behind or walking opposite direction and see Cassie/ player as well.
Cassie's morning:
She will first go to a breakfast shop to grab some doughnuts for Whitney and the staff (referee? the gym janitor? repairmen?). (the suspects can be a person before or after them to take orders). Then walk by a street with cute clothing shops where she window shop sometimes for outfit ideas. (the suspects can be just walking behind or opposite direction of them)

the officer will just chill in the break room? until the day is over. watching gym battle might be distracting to the work? idk

Cassie's afternoon:
After working in Whitney's gym all day, Cassie will head toward a pastry/cookie shop for a take out of some snacks and desserts (think croissants and swiss cake rolls and stuff). (The suspects can be already seated here too) Then, she will walk through a park to end her day before heading home. (the Suspects can be seated on a bench, hiding behind lamp post, walking with their Pokemon?, etc.)

When filling out Cassie's day post, make sure all the suspects are used at least once, except the true suspect is used twice.
There's 4 encounters here, one of these should be same person twice.
1. Doughnut shop
2. clothing shop
3. pastry shop/ cookie shop
4. park

---

If there's support for hard mode (extra merits?), just throw TM's on the Pokemon's moves or change up ability
If the pokemon's moves are really bad then yeah we can throw in egg move or tm on the normal mode
I could even throw in a few more suspects and Maybe cassie activities?

THANKS FOR READING!
Let me know if I need to clarify anything
LMK WHAT YOU THINK

Edit:
The rocket quest is based on radio director’s daughter so idk if we could even make one to protect the daughter or a new quest idea
But this quest can be repackaged for something else

[Tiki]

the above guide will still be moderator use
any mention of "Cassie" should be Carrie since I mixed up names
will take better title name suggestions

Jenesis had messaged me it's a thumbs up too but im making this nicer looking for public guide read

Case File: Look At Me

Great for Detective, Operations, and Negotiator roles.
Good for Bike Patrol

Requirement:
Completed requirements to reach Goldenrod City
Cannot complete if already have a Plain Badge

Location: Goldenrod City

Description:

Gym Leader Whitney's assistant Lass Carrie had reported that she felt that she was being stalked! Stick with her for a day (or more, if needed) and observe her surrounding to see who the true suspect is! Whitney is busy with gym leader challengers and other administrative duties so she won't be able to help Carrie, which is why she recommended Carrie to request IPF help!

Walkthrough:

Go through the day to accompany Carrie from her house to the Pokemon Gym and then back to her house. You see four suspects that have their eyes on her, but what would be their intention with this gym assistant? If you're able to deduce who was stalking Carrie, Gym Leader Whitney would even squeeze in a gym session for you to challenge her in her busy schedule!

Rewards:
+10? 20? Merits
Plain Badge

After much delay, I am adding some thoughts, adjustments and even some teams!

Mission:
Gym Leader Whitney's assistant Lass Carrie had reported that she felt that she was being stalked! Stick with her for the next day or two and observe her surroundings to see what's going on. Whitney is busy with challengers at the gym and other administrative duties, so she can't help Carrie, which is why she recommended that Carrie request IPF help!

Quest Walkthrough:
After the Player meets and introduces themself to Lass Carrie, she will explain her situation and ask them to accompany her on her walk to the Gym the next day and to observe to see if they see anyone suspicious. She will suggest that the Player disguise themself as an aunt/uncle/family member of hers so as not to draw suspicion. The player will meet at Carrie's house in the morning on her way to the Goldenrod City gym, though whether or not they disguise themself, decide to become an elusive shadow or just walk down the street like a bodyguard is up to them. Carrie will express discomfort and concern if the Player doesn’t try to hide that they are an officer in some way.

Carrie will go about her day. From her walk to work, her daytime routine, to her walk home. Clues will be dropped here for various suspects that are on the list. At the end of the day, Carrie will ask if the Player has any suspects and suggest that the Player follow her one more day just to be sure.

The player can take this opportunity to now confront and/or question the suspects.

Carrie will go about her day again, and if the Player decides to engage a suspect, a battle could ensue. This does not automatically mean they are guilty! Incorrect accusations will result in loss of quest end merit. Only incorrect accusations or arrests will result in deductions (you just harassed an innocent after all!).

The key to finding the suspect will be noting who appears twice in a day rather than just once. And each suspect will only appear at a certain time(s) of the day. This means that if the suspect is in the morning group and the Player fails to confront them, then they will have to wait until the third day to do so.

Once the suspect is found out, Carrie will offer to walk the Player to the Gym. On the way there, Whitney, who found time in her busy schedule to help her assistant, mistakes the Player for the stalker! After all, look how close they are to her employee?! She can’t be talked down and won’t believe the Player is the officer Carrie asked to help until the battle is over. After which, she is very embarrassed and apologetic and runs off. Carrie laughs and apologizes for her boss and insists the Player come to the gym to get their well-earned badge and a reward for winning.


The suspects:
The suspect can be randomized for each quest, or randomized on the fly if they're the suspect. The clue is they will appear twice in one day. Carrie can also give a slight clue in her description. They also each have their own reason to follow Carrie.

**NOTE: Giving them each 3 pokemon with similar levels to reflect the TR mission this is mirroring.**

"Incorrect accusations will result in loss of quest end merit. Only incorrect accusations or arrests will result in deductions (you just harassed an innocent after all!)."

IDK if i Like people having to restart quest. maybe just losing like 5 points.
the quest could be lengthy so we could bump it to 15 points and then you get like 2 tries to get it wrong and last chance gives you 5 points? or people know the quest guide and can easily earn all 15? Or just stick to 10 points?

EDIT:
Oh, nevermind. I see!

[Pixel]

Eh? You wouldn't restart the quest. You just lose end of quest merit. lol.

I think this is complete and ready for review.

Wouldn't prevent those without the badge from undertaking the quest; TR has no such restriction. If they already have the badge, then just no duup badge but they can still have moneys, merit, and the TM :3 Or, Whitney could just not battle them. The TR version is a 2-parter, so this one could be too to allow those who have the badge to do the quest.



Would move most of the info into the public write-up and not just as mod info. Carrie's routine and the hints is the only stuff we could use the modding guide for, as options'n ideas of how to RP it.

Luv the quest idea! Just need a bit more detail on the rewards.

I tried to rework the guide to be as transparent as possible on the player side. Tried to align prizes to be similar to the Rocket equivalent. Made the badge an optional part two continuation.

If you accept (and have not obtained the Plain Badge), Whitney will challenge you to a battle, because obviously you are the stalker! Look how close you are to her assistant. This will lead directly into the gym challenge. If you accept and HAVE obtained the Plain Badge, she will recognize you after her accusation and become embarrassed. Part 2 is optional and only triggers if you do not have the badge and accept Carrie walking you to the gym.

Even if you do not accept the offer for a walk, Carrie will gift you a Shell Bell as thanks for helping her out with her problem.

NOTE: These are the individuals who you may encounter on your investigation. Careful not to throw around accusations as you will lose merit for incorrect ones. Just because a suspect engages in a battle doesn't make them guilty, as they could feel pressured or cornered.

Ty Pixel & Tiki!
We can remove all the duplication in the mod guide portion to keep it quick'n easy to use, but dun worry about posting a revision for that.


The rewards are a little high I think. This version is slightly easier than the TR version as there's 2 fewer battles and less likely to incur a penalty; but potentially more RP work. Plus, there is always the possibility of bonus points for representing your division well.

What'd yah all think of:

Main Q:
+20 Merit
-5 for incorrect accusations
Shell Bell (gift from Carrie)
£3200 for the job


Optional Q:
+15-18? Merit
Plain Badge or +5 Merit if already owned
+ all other normal gym rewards

[Tiki]

I still have no idea how merits value were given or picked so i'm the wrong person to ask.

May I nominate someone like Tarlar for merit points?

(I just write quest ideas, not rewards)

[Pixel]

Prizes look good to me. I have a hard to time guessing merit versus TR stuff since slowpoke tails and reputation are gained wheras merit is just one thing.

[Lamont]

It can help to look at the cost of stuff. Flamethrower in the IPF shop is 30 Merit. That's worth 10RT in the RT shop.

So if a quest is rewarding +40 merit you're giving away a huuuuuge value. Every other IPF quest only gives +10 for the quest, as is defined in the IPF Info Center.

Awarding additional Merit is essentially like reviewing an Escapade. It's just whatever you think should be rewarded for good RP. If the character is behaving really well in alignment with the attributes of their division, or just in general as a good officer, give 'em some extra merit. Bonus merit has historically ranged from +2 -> +10. Most normally +5. You can just look at some other quests to get a feel for them.



I'll get this up sometime this week if there's no other thoughts on it.

[Tiki]

Do you consume merit points to be promoted or your total just have to be that amount?

If no consumed, then 15 for main, 10 for Whitney. It's literally just a gym battle no other special story to it? lol

or even 15 and 5

20 and 5

personally I'm doing 15 or 20, and then 5 either way, because you have 2 badges already to do this quest so reward could be bumped a little too

(you could at least afford flame charge, or snarl etc.)

[Pixel]

Merit is consumed with promotions tiki. Unlike with rockets, who have two currencies, IPF has one that is used for everything. So you do need these mid and later quests to be worth a good chunk of points or nobody ever gonna get promoted.
