For untold generations, your people have lived in fear of the dangerous creatures that roam this land. Some can breathe fire, or shoot lightning. Your tribe has had to fight and stay on the run just to survive.
But you, the leader of your tribe, have managed to befriend a single monster. With this one step, your people have taken a great leap forward. If you can tame one of these creatures, then you can tame more. And your people will no longer have to live in fear.
>Welcome to PokeCiv. You will be playing as the leader of a prehistoric tribe in a world filled with Pokemon.
>Decide the name of your tribe and its leader.
>Choose what type of Pokemon is the one you have first befriended. It must be unevolved, and relatively small. It cannot be a fossil Pokemon, or a Pokemon that is manmade or based on a manmade object. I reserve the right to veto a suggestion if I find it unsuitable.
>Choose where your tribe currently lives, in a biome suitable to your chosen Pokemon.
>Once these first decisions are made, I'll lay out the Civ specifics.
>Remember to have fun!

You are Asher, leader of the Longarm tribe. Your tribe has lived in the caverns of this canyon for as long as anyone can remember. Surviving by reaching up from below to pilfer eggs from the nests of bird monsters, thus your tribe's name.
Life was but ordinary until you came across a small monster with a skull on its head. You were all too prepared to fight or flee, but the monster showed you no hostility. In fact, it looked sad. On a whim, you decided to try and cheer it up, and now it follows you loyally. Cubone is now your trusted companion.
Your tribe made a point not to stray too far, or draw too much attention, but thanks to Cubone, that may be able to change.

You decide to see how little Cubone here can help you, and you spend some time training with him.
You find that he is incredibly strong for his size, able to knock a grown man over with a headbutt, and smash rocks with a swing of his bone club. You've fought some monsters yourself, but it was always a struggle. Cubone will listen to you, and perhaps even fight at your command. Perhaps this could lead to regular hunting of some of the local monsters for their meat or other parts?
Cubone also tries to throw his bone to attack, but he seems to need more practice for that.
In the meantime, your tribesmen find a special type of stone deep in the caves. They call them Hard Stones, and think they can make great tools.

Fighting monsters with your bare hands didn't tend to go ever well, and sticks weren't much better. But emulating Cubone could be they key to strengthening your tribe.
You all get to work, gathering suitable wood and shaping the Hard Stones. Eventually, you have made a dozen Hard Stone Clubs. While none of you are as powerful as Cubone, they will undoubtedly help if you have to face a monster.
All the members of your tribe are beginning to swell with confidence. They no longer seem as wary of venturing outside the caves.

Getting a group of five to join you and Cubone, you explore South, out of the canyon. As the cliffs fall, you can see a wide open plain spread out before you.
In the distance, you can see several types of monsters roaming about, but you can't make out exactly what they are.
In the past, this was a dangerous place, to be avoided. A run-in with any of these monsters could kill you. But now it may be an opportunity.

>Rolled 20: Critical Success
Your group moves carefully about, avoiding the larger creatures. You are looking for something more manageable. Another loyal monster like Cubone will lead to even more opportunity for your tribe.
After a while, you all come across a small orange four legged monster with black stripes. It is alone, and looks plenty catchable. You and the other men set up a perimeter, then you tell Cubone to attack as you all close in.
You see Cubone strike the monster with its Bone Club. It seems to be very effective against this type of monster. The creature cries its name, Growlithe, and breathes fire at Cubone! Luckily, another strike of the club has it heeling. You draw closer, and try to command the Growlithe to find that it responds positively to you. It has no trouble following your orders.

>A.Search for food and water here
>>20290
>>20291
>>20318
While you're here, it would be a waste not to find a source of food or water. It could be invaluable to future excursions. You have Growlithe lead the way to a nearby stream. The water runs fresh and clean here, a perfect place to get a drink. After searching around, you find a small grove nearby of blue fruits, Oran Berries. They are quite delicious, and a few of them are enough to completely rejuvenate Growlithe. However, there isn't an inexhaustible supply. This is likely not enough to qualify as a new sustainable food source.
This place is perfect for a camp if you come to the plains again, so you all memorize its location.

You all pick a handful of Oran berries to take home, and also bury some in the ground as well. Hopefully that is enough to ensure that more berries will be here by the next time you come back.
As your group heads back over the plains and through the canyon, you hear a familiar, unmistakable shriek. Fearow. All of you know the sound. The number of your ancestors who have been killed by Fearow while trying to gather food in the canyon is higher than you care to think about. Your group makes the rest of the journey at the utmost alert, sure not to arouse any attention.
When you get back to the caves, everyone is amazed at your new companion, and the berries. Many wish to eat them everyday, but you regretfully inform them that it is not possible for now.
Learning more about Growlithe, you find that in addition to its fire, it has a fierce bite and a powerful roar. Both useful tools, to be sure.

We already have HardStone clubs, man. All the best weapons will use poke parts anyways. Might as well hunt some so we can make some decent gear for our hunters.

>>20524
>>20492
>>20579
You try to plant some of the berries near your cave, but to no avail. The ground here is almost completely devoid of life, a few patches of grass at most. You don't think you'll be growing any berries here. Some of the tribe take this as incentive enough to want to move, but others are adamant about staying. You will have to think on the topic.
In the meantime, a hunting party is gathered. With Cubone, Growlithe, and six tribesmen with HardStone Clubs, you feel good about your chances of felling a monster.

Your group moves about the canyon, eyes peeled for a target. You are all usually sneaking from bird's nest to bird's nest, avoiding the watchful eyes of predators, but now you are on the hunt.
You all see five bird monsters in a nest, Vullaby. You've seen them before, but tend to avoid them. They usually have a Mandibuzz parent around to protect them, but they are alone now. You decide to strike.
After working your way up the cliffs into a good position, you have Growlithe set the nest alight. The Vullaby are forced out, right into your hands. They are very young, and all fall easily to your group. Taking the birds quickly, before the parent can return, you head back to the cave with your spoils.
Plenty of meat and feathers, in addition to the skulls that they wear. It seems Vullaby are very productive for the amount of effort it takes to hunt, provided that Mandibuzz is not around. Your tribe enjoys a delicious feast of roast Vullaby, fire courtesy of Growlithe. Much easier than starting one yourself.
The next day, two tribe members come to you with opposing viewpoints.
One wishes to move the tribe to the plains, to live off of the berries and hunting there.
The other insists that yesterday's hunt proves that you are fine where you are.
They both want you to put your foot down and say the final word.
>A.The plains have more plentiful food, we should move there

You also think on what you can do next for your tribe.

You agree that the plains provide more opportunity. You can hunt there just as well, in addition to growing berries. You decide that it is time for the tribe to leave.
While the rest of the tribe gets ready to leave their home for new pastures, you bring Cubone, Growlithe, and four tribesmen with you to look for other monsters to tame. You have two that are loyal to you, but you can't be everywhere. Your tribesmen need to have companions of their own. You spend your last day in the canyon looking for suitable monsters to capture.

After searching through the canyon, you all coma across a nest with a young Spearow in it. Easy pickings like the Vullaby, but this time you aren't looking for food. One of you climbs up to the nest and takes the bird, ignoring the incessant pecking. After a couple of Oran Berries, the young Spearow turns docile.
Your tribesman Dart is chosen to be the one to keep it.
In addition, your group stumbles across a moving rock with arms. A Geodude. This one is feisty, and Growlithe and Cubone are forced to battle, but the Geodude is eventually defeated.
Another of your tribesmen, Bron, a very large man, manages to lift and carry the Geodude. The rock monster is impressed, and follows him of his own accord from that point.
Two is all you could manage in a day, but it's good progress. Your group heads out to the plains following the rest of the tribe. You find them along the stream, setting up camp. This is your new home. You will be operating from here from now on. Now that more tribesmen have monsters, it may be more feasible to split duties between you.

First thing's first, your tribe can't be sleeping on the ground out in the open. You need housing.
Wood is very rare out here on the plains, most of it being from the Oran Berry trees. It's decided that they are far too valuable as a food source to chop down. The plains do have however, plenty of tall grass. This grass can be bound together quite well, and made into huts. It takes some time, but you manage to make a few grass huts at the riverside. This is enough to house your people.
It's decided that from now on, Bron and his Geodude will stay at the camp to protect it. Bron accepts this duty with pride.

You decide that right now, it's most pertinent to get a better idea of your new surroundings. You put a scouting party together, let by Dart and his Spearow.
While you are away, you have the remaining tribesmen work on planting more berries to make them a more reliable food source.
You set out to the East, Dart's Spearow flying out in front of the group. As you go, the plains start to thin and give way to sand. Your party stops at the edge of a desert. You take note of it, then head another way. You doubt there is anything for you in that direction.
After heading further South, Spearow lets you know there is something up ahead. You all peek out from behind some bushes to see a few grass huts on the edge of a lake. Someone lives here, but you have no idea if they are friendly. You can see a few humans about, but none of them look like warriors. You suspect they are out hunting. You haven't been noticed yet.

Pokemon are completely edible, and fill the same ecological niche.
We still need good housing for agriculture. We should search the plains for workable wood.

Your group decides to wait to see if any head honchos return to the village instead of heading in now. After a while, you can see a group approaching.
The one in front is riding on top of a four hoofed monster, somehow not being burned by the flames running down it. Four men behind him are hoisting the carcass of a huge hoofed monster with giant round hair. Likely their latest kill.
You all emerge from the bushes, intent on introducing yourselves.
"Who are you?" the man in front asks you. "Canyon people from the North? Why are you this far South? Begone from our lands."

"Hmph. The plains are plentiful with food. I suppose they can support the needs of one more tribe." the man scoffs. "I am Apatma, Chief of the Swiftfoot tribe. We are constantly under assault by raids from the desert people to the East. We have no desire to be at odds with you as well. Leave us alone, and we will promise the same for you."

"There's no need for that, we can help each other out." you insist. "So what's this about desert people?"
"You will not earn our trust so easily. Not after the last time we gave it." Apatma explains. "The desert people came to us asking for help. A more reliable source of food and water. We agreed to help them. However, it was all a set up. Their leader, Sehtwa, is a tamer of monsters like none ever seen. He controls the Desert Spirit, Flygon. A monster so powerful that all of the monsters of your and my tribe together could not defeat it. While our guard was down, he attacked our village, taking anything he pleased. You see ten of my tribe before you. There was once four times this number. Now they are dead or taken. We have had to stay on the run since. We are no match, and neither are you. You should just keep your heads down. Lest you end up the same way."

"We'll watch out." you assure Apatma. "We can still trade, right?"
"If you have something or knowledge of value to us, then I don't see why not." Apatma replies. "So long as we also get something out of it, you can propose a trade to us anytime from now on. Materials, how to deal with a certain monster. Anything that may be useful."
"Sounds good." you answer. "That Sehtwa guy though. He sounds like he needs to be taken care of. Maybe not now, but eventually..."
"If you make against him, you will doom us all." Apatma glares at you. "If I hear a word of you trying to agitate the desert people, we will cut you off immediately. We will not all die as a result of your foolishness."
With that, Apatma and his tribesmen head into their village, leaving your group alone. You head back to camp to tell people of your findings.
Back home, food is a problem. The berries must be rationed, as they cannot yet be grown at a greater rate then they are consumed. Eggs are harder to come by here in the plains, and you have not actually done any hunting here yet. Something must be done.

You need to get a hunting party together, and for it to be done regularly. The extra food is the whole reason you moved, after all.
You have Dart and his Spearow lead a group of six other hunters. They plan to start small, but with time they should be taking down big game on every hunt. Though that would be expedited if they had more monsters. You intend to help with that issue.
While Dart is hunting and Bron is defending camp, you will go out with three other tribesmen in search of more monsters to tame.
>When searching for Pokemon, you always have the option to search specifically for a Pokemon you've encountered in the same area before. If you want to search for a Growlithe, for instance, you just say Growlithe with your roll. If you don't want to search for a specific Pokemon, just don't name one when you roll.

As you make your way around the plains, make very sure to avoid a herd of stampeding hoofed monsters with three tails. Attempting to grab one of those unprepared is liable to get you all flattened. It can wait until a better opportunity.
You all search a bit longer with no results, until you come across another stream, this one farther West than your camp. You take a break here for a drink.
As you all do, three monsters with horns and grassy pelts approach the stream to drink. They don't seem the slightest bit wary of you. You can even go up and touch them, and they won't put up a fuss. After testing them for a bit, you try to lead them back to your camp. Sure enough, they follow without a second thought. These are some agreeable creatures.
You lead the three Skiddo, as they're called, back to your camp, and they take to the water in the nearby stream just as well. As long as you make sure they don't wander off, they should basically be yours.
>Got 3 Skiddo!
Dart and the others return, having caught a few small whiskered purple monsters. Not exactly the plentiful bounty everyone expected, but it's dinner. The group plans to keep on hunting every day. The night passes without incident.

You decide to stay in the village today, working on various things.
First off, you start mixing mud from the stream into the grass huts. This should make it more durable. You also use this material to make pens for the Skiddo so they don't wander off. You leave a male and female in the pen, while taking the other male for yourself.
You spend the rest of the day training and bonding with your monsters. You find that Skiddo's attacks are effective against Cubone, while Growlithe's attacks are effective against Skiddo. You've got a neat little triangle. Skiddo seems to be able to extend vines out from its body, and shoot seeds that drain health. After this day of training, Cubone has managed to use his bone throwing attack as well.
Dart and the hunting party come back with more Rattata, the small purple monsters. They seem to have tried to catch bigger game, but Spearow alone is not enough. At the very least, you are not hurting for food regardless.

Train Dart's Spearow so we can catch bigger game, and might as well train Cubone, Growlithe, and Skiddo while we're at it
As an idea, a good number, 3-5 or so, of rattatas might be really good harassers to take on larger monsters. Popping in from different directions, low to the ground, in and out style attacks would wear at larger monsters and present less danger to the individual trained pokes
>>22804
>E
In addition to whatever else we do, have our Growlithe be part of the hunting party. If we can't do that cause he's only loyal to us, then try to catch another one
>>22878
additionally, combining with quick flying types there would be an even greater amount of harassment. They would also train well together, both making the other faster, essentially playing tag. Designate one rattata as the target, flyers attempt to catch it while other rattatas harass them to keep them from "catching/killing" the target rattata
>>22878
Yeah but that's for our tribe scrubs, we get the cool pokemon.
>>22846
>Rolled 12: Low Success
You decide to search for more monsters this time, but not the usual way. This time, you try to find out if any aquatic monsters live in the stream. Unfortunately, none of your monsters can really dive in and help you, Cubone and Growlithe in particular are very reluctant to even go near the water. You try to get Growlithe to go with the hunting party to help them, but he stays put, even though he's not really helping you here.
Regardless, you spend the day in the stream, looking for hereto unknown monsters. It takes some careful skimming along the water, and even then, you only catch the occasional glimpse of a monster, not enough to really know what it is.
Eventually however, you get lucky. After staying still for a while, a monster swims right past you and you nab it, yanking it from the river before it can protest.
You throw it into a hole you dug and filled with water for this purpose, then take a good look at it. It's an orange monster with yellow whiskers, flopping about hysterically. A Magikarp. Even you've heard how useless this thing is. At the very least, you know you can always eat it if it gets that bad. And you know there are other types of monsters farther upstream, but without a monster that can enter the water with you to fight, they may as well be ghosts for how you can catch them. There's probably a better way to go about this, but you aren't aware of it.

Since these Rattata are easy enough to hunt, it might be a good idea to try and capture some. They may not be powerful, but quantity has its own quality.
While Dart and the others are hinting Rattata for food, you and your monsters take to catching them to tame. They're fast little buggers, and they keep managing to run away, but with the help of your monsters, you eventually grab two of them. They flail around, trying to get free, but once you get them back to camp and fed, they cool off. It seems they'll let anybody order them around as long as they think they'll be fed. Easy enough.

Well like the narrator said, we can't even really see any water Pokemon, so if we get one to come out and try to eat the Magikarp or whatever, then Skiddo could pull it out, we could get it with nets, either way. The Magikarp is just to get one to the surface
>>23336
>A
Why not
>>23512
If that map is right in regards to river curves, we can try to make a shallower bit to the river that joins in later. Deep enough for water types to move through but shallow enough for us to work with. Might be good for magikarp as a food source.
Geodude might be good for digging/dirt moving. Might be good idea to get a few more to general purpose
>>23608
Forgot to say I marked a possible shallow route just north of our camp
>>23608
Yeah, that's why I voted Bron as camp defender, and he can use his Geodude to get to work on building shit. We could also use skiddo vines to make ropes and get to work on a magikarp fish farm for a renewable food supply other than Skiddos
>>23608
Idk if it's a good idea to get the rock pokemon near the water though.
>>23698

You get an idea for the acquisition of aquatic monsters. You set a couple of tribesmen onto making nets with the tall grass. It might take them a while to get it down, but if they can get it to hold together, something is bound to be caught. You leave them to it, then head out to explore.
Along with your monsters and two tribesmen, you head farther West. As the plains fade, an uncountable number of trees appear. A huge forest. There's no telling what may be in there. In fact, it may be dangerous to explore. Becoming lost would surely mean your end, and a powerful monster could get the drop on you in an instant. You will need to consider you options heavily before going in. You head South along the forest's edge, and eventually reach another sandy expanse as the forest wanes. But this is not a desert like before. It's a beach. Past the sandy shores, you can see an endless expanse of blue. The ocean. That's two wondrous new sights you've seen today. You follow the coast as you head East, and find a swampy marsh. A river delta resulting from the stream your very camp is set near. There are likely very interesting things here as well, but you've been gone long enough. Your group follows the river upstream back to the camp, to tell everyone the lay of the land. You can go back and investigate more in depth later.
