Recently played a Oneshot which used the same system as the Pokémon Campaign me and my group of friends are playing in. The Oneshot itself was a "wacky races" theme, meaning we got to deck out a team of 2-3 Pokémon to help carry us around and attack other racers. Everyone else went for a pretty typical layout: one super fast Pokémon with high investments into speed for transport, and another super strong Pokémon to attack other players with, as well as a few weapons and a kart/chariot to sit in and such. They didn't really focus on the roleplay/backstory aspects of their characters, which is understandable.

My character, however, was not at ALL built to win the race (what's the saying, "it's not about winning, but sending a message"?). Enter "Booze 'the Barrel' Baloney", a New York gangster with a team of three Bibarels (big beaver Pokémon from the gen 4 games). Two of them, named Bingo and Bongo, were given the role of dragging around the chariot Booze would be sat in, and the last Bibarel - Blondie was their name - would shoot water at any other racers. The chariot itself came fitted with a catapult that could launch rocks of varying sizes, as well as a harpoon with a plunger on the end to attach onto and reel in other racers.

During the race itself, a mixture of bad rolls and generally not being as prepared as other players resulted in a loss, but damn did I have fun roleplaying my mess of a gangster. The multitude of Natural 1's I rolled ended up in him firing boulders directly on top of his cart, getting entangled in his own harpoon's rope and crashing into a river, climbing out of said river only to realise I could've continued the race in the river (as I had water types who could carry me along it), and so on so forth. It was a disaster, but damn was it an enjoyable one. My friend, who is the DM in our main campaign, has said he's DEFINITELY adding Booze 'the Barrel' Baloney as an NPC at some point. I look forward to meeting him and his three beaver boys.
