Intro: 

Your PokéScouts troop has decided to enter the county fair! You’ll need to make your absolute best food or craft if you want to bring home a blue ribbon. You can make lots of pokémon friends to help you along the way. Tip: This game uses the same type of stats as PokéScouts (First Year), so you can play both using the same characters.

Stats:

Every member of the troop has a total of 3 stat points to distribute among Artistic, Cheerful, and Encouraging. Artistic skill gives a boost for making things, Cheerful skill gives a boost for catching pokémon and cooking, and Encouraging lets you boost other members’ rolls and your pokémon’s work.

Except for rolls to determine which pokémon is encountered, before rolls are made, any member of the troop can encourage one other member of the troop per round to add the value of the giving member’s encouraging stat to the receiving member’s roll.

Rules:

There are 30 meetings before the county fair. Every meeting, the troop votes on doing an activity that is currently available to them (or the troop leader decides). The activities are preparing items, pokéhunting, working with pokémon, and making entries for the fair. Gifting and trading items and pokémon is always allowed, because PokéScouts share!

Preparing Items:

The troop can make items to use for catching pokémon and making entries for the fair. Each troop member can make 5 + Artistic items per meeting. 

Items:

Pokéball

Lure (specific for a given species)

Yarn (costs 1 wool)

Dyed Thread (costs 1 silk)

Cake Batter (costs 1 egg and 1 sugar)

Pokéhunting (each troop member needs at least 1 pokéball):

The PokéScouts troop looks for pokémon in the field or the forest. If a troop member has lure for a species that lives in the place the troop is exploring, that pokémon will immediately appear and the troop member can try to catch it. Once all lures are used, roll a d6 to determine which pokémon appears next. Pokémon will appear until no troop member has a pokéball, or the troop votes to leave. 

A pokémon which has appeared can be caught by using a pokéball. Whether it is caught is determined by d6 + Cheerfulness. 

1-2 — The pokéball misses and the pokémon runs away.

3-4 — The pokéball shakes once and the pokémon escapes but doesn’t run away.

5+ — The pokémon is caught. 

Optionally, roll a percentile check to determine whether the pokémon is shiny (0-99 is not shiny, 100 is shiny).

Making Entries For the Fair:

The PokéScouts troop makes their entires for the fair using the items they’ve prepared.

Making a blanket requires 2 meetings, costs 20 yarn and adds +1 Cheerful to the troop member's stats. The total score of the blanket is 2X(1d6 + Artistic at the first meeting the blanket is worked on). Encouraging point additions can be used at both meetings.

Making embroidery art requires 1 meeting but can be worked over several, costs 10 dyed thread per meeting, and adds +1 Artistic to the troop member's stats. The score of the embroidery art is 1d6 + Artistic for each of the meetings used on the entry. Encouraging point additions can be used at each meeting.

Making a cake requires 1 meeting, costs 5 cake batter, and adds +1 Encouraging to the troop member's stats. The score of the cake is 1d6 + Cheerful + Bond of each sweet pokémon the troop member has.

The Fair:

The PokéScouts troop brings their entries to the county fair. The entry with the highest score above 30 for each of the categories takes home the blue ribbon for that category.
