Fizzytopia's Recorded History

[Ariden]

My Group:

Okay, as you may or may not know, I'm leaving Fizzytopia and are now updating for Loki in the Water Zone. Therefore, those whose adventures were coming to an end, I will be giving prizes out for. Please be aware that if you accept the item, then you MUST restart your adventure with your new updator. This aren't updates, just summaries to round off your adventures Please reply to confirm taking your items though. Its been great guys.

Hureta: After Denulge and Starmie's powerful attacks, Muk was fallen **Denulge gets 1 Level Up** The Grimer, shocked by this, then flee in fear away from the station and also from the river. The river turns a healthy blue and you return to Ken who gives you a reward of a Fast Ball You take it and then leave, saying goodbye to Ken. You then move to your next destination..

<ooc> Hey Shinjara, first time actually talking something using the ooc box. Well, what can you do right? Fast updates have consequences lol. You were a great updator ^-^ </ooc>

The river beings to be cleaner again. After the battle, Centin takes a look at the river and then begins to show signs of hope. "Ah, so the rivers are clean. The environment shall be safe for now, for we are trying to find our next companion, right Denulge?". His swinub hops and squeels, which obviously means yes.

"Here Centin, as a reward for your job well done, here is a fast ball. Thanks for helping Bradley too." Centin bowed and took the fast ball whole-heartedly. "Thanks Ken, I really would like to help out saving the environment and all. Really makes me feel better."

A New Adventure; Chapter III

After leaving the station, Centin and Denulge walked downwards the river as they planned before even started saving the river. As they try to look at the map, the river seems to be flowing downstream to the beach. As Centin and Denulge were busy looking around for their next companion, they wouldn't know. If they were actually heading to the beach, or would they wonder around and end up somewhere else?

[Eon]

Again, sorry about the slow and short updates.

Shiny_Magneton: Dani shakes her head. “I’m not sure exactly, but most of the people I’ve talked to think it’s an underwater cavern.” You look around and suddenly realize that there are more people than you two, all spread about the cavern. Some were alone, others had Pokemon with them, and some were talking to other people, but they all had the same expression their faces: confusion. You turn back to Dani and she continues. “Everyone shares pretty much the same story. They or their Pokemon see a shimmering in the air, which leads them to an isolated spot on a body of water, then a huge whirlpool forms and sucks them and they black out, only to wake up here.” She looks at you and asks, “Is this what happened to you?” You nod and begin to say something when a strange sound fills the cavern. As you and Dani look around for the source of the noise, you notice that Dani’s hand moves to her waist, where a pair of sais are attached to her belt. The music fades away as a new sound emerges: a loud crack. You whip your head around to where you think the sound came from to see a young woman coming out of a fissure in the cavern wall about fifty feet from you that had not been there before. The woman waited for all the trainers, including you and Dani, to encircle her, then she opened her mouth and began to speak in a soft voice, “Welcome, trainers. My name is Trianna. Each of you have been chosen to compete in the Tournament of Legends.” She pauses fo a second, as though for emphasis, then continues. “Let me explain. For many months I have sought for trainers all over Fizzytopia, and I have chosen each of you to be the most worthy to compete. It is your choice, of course, but first, I will explain how the Tournament of Legends will work. You will be divided into groups of three, and each team will be given a jewel that represents their group. When they are eliminated, their pendant goes to the team that defeated them, which means that the team to gain all of the pendants wins. I will warn you though, that the challenges you will compete in to win will be more than just battles. They will stretch your cunning, ingenuity, and skill to the highest level.” Trianna pauses again, and says, in a kinder tone, “It is, of course, your choice whether you wish to compete.” She looks at each trainer in turn, receiving various responses, but all basically saying that they want to participate. Next to you Dani nods and says, “I will compete too.” Then Trianna looks at you. What will you say?

Torkoal Stu: Necross opens his mouth, a sphere of white energy forming in it. After a few seconds of charging, a beam of the same white energy, though this time laced with Electric, Ice, and Fire energy, emits from it and heads straight at Tangela. Grovyle jumps in front of Tangela again, but the beam was powerful enough that the explosion it caused when it hit Grovyle blasts into both of them. Grovyle and Tangela are left paralyzed and quite low on health. Torky is still snoozing and Necross seems tired. What will you do now?

lilbluecorsola: Your Pokemon wait calmly as their opponents listen to their commands. Houndour starts first, releasing a stream of flame from his mouth, which is quickly countered by Rocky, who slams his feet into the ground, a large chunk of stone emerging from the ground and flying straight through the Flamethrower, dispersing it and rendering it ineffective. The Rock Slide continues to fly towards Houndour, but, to your relief, he manages to jump out of the way. Numel opens his mouth for a fire attack as well, but Bobble is too quick. He stomps the ground as well, causing several stalagmites to burst from the ground and trap him. Poochyena tries to Bite Gumpy, but he manages to dodge and retaliate with a Body Slam, sending the wolfish Pokemon back a few feet. None of the Pokemon have lost much health or used much energy. What will you do now?

Latias10: You ride on Majesty to the end of Trainer’s Path and see the path Nurse Joy told you about. Majesty follows it, and you soon arrive in front of a large mountain. With the sun setting, you decide that it would be best to enter. You knock on the door, which opens after a few moments, revelaling Mathias. His face breaks into a smile. “Catherine, you’re here! Just in time, too.” He leads you into a large room, a library, you presume, as the walls were covered in bookcases. Two large, plush chairs were in the middle, one with a woman sitting in it. She had long, grey hair, and pale green eyes. “Welcome,” she says. “I am Laura Trie.” She pauses, letting you speak. What will you say?

Castform: Ghoul opens his mouth, forming a large black thunderbolt that he sends straight at Marill. She tries to jump out of the way, but the Night Shade still blasts into her, the force slamming her into the ground and leaving her all very hurt. However, Marill is not done yet, and counters with a Water Gun, which blasts back into Ghoul, causing fair damage. Ghoul is still pretty fresh, though he is hurt, but Marill is exhausted. What will you do now?

[Nagashi]

To my group: My computer's been totalled, which is why there haven't been updates recently - I've ordered a new one (Dell 3000 with double memory. W00t) so updates should be around Thursday, maybe Friday, as I'll be taking a newbie into the group.

Golden Mew: As I wanted to take on a new person, you've been transferred to Another Fan's group - he's a good updator, and as soon as he's completed his group (which, incidentally, I'm in, so I haven't just loaded you onto someone crap) you can either continue your adventure or restart.

[Zodiac The Vampire]

Updates for my group... Tada!

Harper

Though you plead with the girl you mean no harm, your explanation falls on deaf ears.

“Venonat!” the girl barks at her big Pokémon. “Let’s show these big-city idiots that they’re not welcome!”

Again you try to explain, but the girl still isn’t listening. You have no choice but to battle her now.

“Venonat, Signal Beam!” the girl hollers.

Ponyta bravely springs into action to defend you from the assault, taking the full impact of the wickedly strong beam. Ponyta then retaliates as instructed, hurtling towards Venonat to deliver a critical Flame Wheel.

Venonat is burned and bruised by the fiery tackle – you guess that it must have not expected such a strong attack.

Ponyta charges in for a Quick Attack, only to collide just as Venonat fires a second Signal Beam. The crossover of attacks seriously injures both Pokémon, though Venonat is already showing fatigue.

“You high-class executives think you’re so amazing!” snaps the girl, “but I’ll soon dissolve your illusions!”

What do you do?

Bladerboy

"Sure, we'd love to have a battle," you reply, and you both walk to a more clear space. Eric takes a bright red Pokéball from his belt. As the tension builds you begin to wonder what kind of Pokémon Eric might have.

“This will be a single Pokémon battle,” Eric explains, “and we’ll each use two Pokémon each!”

He tosses his first Pokéball into the air. White light bursts from the small container, and you are startled when you see that it contains an Electrike as you were expecting him to produce a fire Pokémon.

He waits for you to produce your Pokémon, and you wonder what possible kind of moves this electric hound might possess.

Celebi94

As you command your Horsea to attack, the Houndour duo turn and snarl at you – they don’t seem happy that you interrupted them. At least, you think to yourself, they’re leaving the Vulpix alone.

Your Horsea shoots powerful Bubbles from its mouth, each injuring the pair as they pop. Shaking the Bubbles off, the Houndour turn instead to your Alakazam, delivering an immense Crunch attack each.

Trying to defend itself, your Alakazam swings its electrically charged fists at one Houndour, paralysing it, but your psychic Pokémon takes a lot of damage. What do you do?

Nintyweb

Walking the perilous pathway known as Fumi’s Walk, you begin to ponder what kind of amazing things might happen on your adventure.

Not paying much attention, you suddenly gasp as you fall to the rocky ground. You figure you must have tripped over a loose rock in the path, but on further inspection you see that it was actually a sleeping Phanphy.

Obviously not happy with having been wakened, the Phanphy growls before curling up in a ball and charging at you. What do you do?

Skrusti

With a bright light your Spinarak Arachna appears from its Pokéball.

"Let's see what this thing is made of!” you command “Launch a Psybeam followed by a Poison sting. Then end this round with a String Shot! Trip that little blue thing up!"

Arachna fires a slick Psybeam towards the little blue mouse, but the agile Marill just hops out of its path, before hitting Arachna with a tough Tackle.

A little annoyed at its miss, Arachna hurtles a steam of needle sharp Poison Stings towards Marill. This time a few collide, but the aquatic rodent appears to be quite fast for a Pokémon of its species. Marill cheekily smiles at Aracha, not even bothering to attack.

Arachna looks up at you, a little puzzled at this Marill’s evasiveness, before firing an extremely sticky Stringy Shot at the cocky Marill.

Marill’s self-certainty is short-lived, however, as the String Shot is a direct hit. Marill’s speed harshly falls as its feet and tail become entangled in the sticky web.

Perhaps now you have a chance, you think. What do you do next?

[lilbluecorsola]

lilbluecorsola: Your Pokemon wait calmly as their opponents listen to their commands. Houndour starts first, releasing a stream of flame from his mouth, which is quickly countered by Rocky, who slams his feet into the ground, a large chunk of stone emerging from the ground and flying straight through the Flamethrower, dispersing it and rendering it ineffective. The Rock Slide continues to fly towards Houndour, but, to your relief, he manages to jump out of the way. Numel opens his mouth for a fire attack as well, but Bobble is too quick. He stomps the ground as well, causing several stalagmites to burst from the ground and trap him. Poochyena tries to Bite Gumpy, but he manages to dodge and retaliate with a Body Slam, sending the wolfish Pokemon back a few feet. None of the Pokemon have lost much health or used much energy. What will you do now?

Blue nodded approvingly, surveying the scene before her. Their strategy was working well so far. None of the Pokémon had been seriously injured so far, and that's what she had hoping for. Even better, one of the opponents had already been trapped, and would remain imprisoned for a while. This could be their chance for escape, though they'd have to hurry. She paused then, contemplating. What would be the best course of action to take next? They needed to get away from here, fast, and get to town to alert the authorites of the location of the base. Of course they didn't want to hurt their enemies though, however crooked they may be. She frowned, bit her lip, and after careful consideration, called out the next attack.

"Rocky, keep Houndour busy by using Horn Attack, but only if it approaches you first. Gumpy, you use Yawn to try to put Poochyena to sleep. Bobble, I want you to focus on using your Psychic Attack to at least disorient those men over there. Whatever will work."

The group chimed back their response in acknowledgement, and got ready to unleash their moves upon their opponents. Meanwhile, the girl backed up a foot to get nearer to her Delibird, and whispered instructions for him to follow as well, hoping that the Magma members would be too concentrated on the battle to notice.

"When you see an opening, send Present Attacks into the middle of the room, and use the smoke as a cover for your escape. Fly to Fizzytopia and get the police here. I'll protect the Pokémon until then. Got that?"

Custard, taking the hint, inclined his head only slightly to show that he understood, never taking his eyes off the ensuing conflict. Blue relaxed a bit, though still felt tense. This was a delicate situation. If Custard didn't make it out or they couldn't hold out long enough, they'd have to resort to using full force in order to knock out their enemies. Holding her breath, she waited, fingers crossed in hopes that her plan would work out.

[Harper]

Updates for my group... Tada!

Harper

Though you plead with the girl you mean no harm, your explanation falls on deaf ears.

“Venonat!” the girl barks at her big Pokémon. “Let’s show these big-city idiots that they’re not welcome!”

Again you try to explain, but the girl still isn’t listening. You have no choice but to battle her now.

“Venonat, Signal Beam!” the girl hollers.

Ponyta bravely springs into action to defend you from the assault, taking the full impact of the wickedly strong beam. Ponyta then retaliates as instructed, hurtling towards Venonat to deliver a critical Flame Wheel.

Venonat is burned and bruised by the fiery tackle – you guess that it must have not expected such a strong attack.

Ponyta charges in for a Quick Attack, only to collide just as Venonat fires a second Signal Beam. The crossover of attacks seriously injures both Pokémon, though Venonat is already showing fatigue.

“You high-class executives think you’re so amazing!” snaps the girl, “but I’ll soon dissolve your illusions!”

What do you do?

Jenna's attempt at diplomacy falls on deaf ears - the girl ignores her request to pass through peacefully.

"“Let’s show these big-city idiots that they’re not welcome!” the girl shouts, then orders her Venonat to use Signal Beam. Surprised that the little Venonat should know such a powerful attack, Jenna is unable to leap out of the way in time. Ponyta loyally leaps in front of her to take the hit - and even though his type is strong against bug attacks, he reels back a bit before charging forward with a Flame Wheel.

"You - " Jenna can't even find the words for her anger. It was one thing to be challenged to a Pokemon battle in order to pass through, but to be attacked directly by someone else's pokemon - there would be no turning back from this battle now.

Jenna watches as Ponyta's Flame Wheel connects, but gasps as his Quick Attack meets Venonat just as it's firing off another Signal Beam. Both pokemon stagger back, but Venonat looks a bit worse off.

Frowning, Jenna looks closely at Venonat. It looks like it's taken some heavy damage, and appears to be burned as well. I hope that burn lowers its attacking power, Jenna thinks, knowing that even though Ponyta has a type advantage, he can't handle too many more Signal Beams at that strength. She would have to rely on his high speed to win this battle.

“You high-class executives think you’re so amazing!” snaps the girl, “but I’ll soon dissolve your illusions!”

Jenna's jaw drops in shock at the girl's comments. What happened to this girl to make her so hostile to poeple from outside the forest? "Look, I don't know what makes you think I'm some big-city, executive, but you've got it all wrong! I don't come from a city, and my only job so far has been as an assistant at a Pokemon Center." Jenna hopes that her explanation will make the girl back down, but doesn't expect that it will - so she gives Ponyta another set of instructions, just in case.

"Ponyta, use Quick Attack again, but this time hit Venonat from behind! Then before it gets a chance to retaliate, charge it with another Flame Wheel!"

[Joshua - Shadow Brigadier]

Another Fan - Startled at the chain of events caused by Batterie's Metal Sound, you quickly consider your remaining options. You call out to Batteries, who doesn't seem to respond, until it pushes off the ground, Poochyena clinging to it. A few barrel rolls, and Poochyena lands uncomfortably on the ground.

A dark aura creeps around Poochyena, and as Batteries goes in for a Tackle, you gasp as Poochyena counters with what could only be a Shadow Rush! The two collide, and bounce back, each taking some damage from the attacks. What will you do now?

Manji - You glare at Tempest, awaiting his response. The noise that echoes through the lighthouse, however, is not what you expect. You whirl around, and see Ariel walk through the now open door to the lighthouse. "Well done Manji, well done." Her gaze turns to Tempest, and the hound does not look pleased to see Ariel.

"Why do you interfere with that which is none of your concern," Tempest barks through gritted teeth.

"None of my concern? Tempest, remember that I am the sole reason you are able to exist on this plane." Ariel sighs, and turns to you. "My apologies for Tempest's behaviour. He takes his task very seriously, and sometimes oversteps his bounds."

"I am sure you have many questions. Let me try and answer at least one of them. The diary does not exist. This lighthouse is computerised, and failed to operate on the night of the shipwreck due to a mechanical fault. Now, since I'm sure you have many more questions, Tempest and I would like for you to join us at my cabin, before I explain what you want to know."

The astral dog growls, before he vanishes. Ariel turns, and walks down the stairs. What will you do?

Sadistic Weedle - Gliss is quick off the mark, hosing down both Nidoran with a Water Sport. The male Nidoran shakes his head, snapping out of Confusion. A blinding flash now eminates from Gliss, and you hear a general outcry from the surrounding Nidoran. You don't need a translation to realise they're not happy with that move.

The female Nidoran looks around, and you can easily see that she has taken the full brunt of the Flash. However, the male Nidoran looks straight at you, and you realise with a sigh that he is completely unaffected. What happens next, however, astounds you.

The male Nidoran walks calmly over to you, watched carefully by your Pokemon. He stands by your side, much to the chagrin of the surrounding Pokemon. "Hear my words, fellow Nidoran. I am Mathias, son of Tamora, descendant of our beloved queen Ishan. Hear me now, I will no longer fight this human! He has come because I asked him here, and he can help us!"

A murmur runs through the crowd, before a white glow silences them all. The female Nidoran begins to shift in shape, before evolving into a Nidorina. She glares straight at Mathias angrily. "How dare you speak your heritage whilst you stand behind a filthy human! This human and his slaves will not defeat me, and I challenge him to a fair combat! His Ledian and I have both been weakened, so I challenge him to only battle with Ledian from now on. If I win, he and his will be torn apart, limb from limb, alongside the traitor Mathias..."

"Enough!" You are startled as the Nidoqueen rises to her feet, glaring at not you, but the Nidorina. "I allow this challenge to take place. If the human defeats you, Nagini, he shall be allowed an audience with me." You are surprised to hear a different tone in her voice, and begin to wonder whether she is as bad as you thought. You are dragged from your thoughts as the Nidorina readies herself. What will you do?

ZoraJolteon - ZJ, could you please add a bit more detail into your replies? It does make it hard for me to write you a decent update if all I have to work with is a line and a half. I know you can do better than this, and I would appreciate it if you would try harder from now on. Thanks.

Tropius quickly obeys your command, and within a few seconds, Umbreon has been hurled across the room. Tropius readies a Magical Leaf, but Umbreon doesn't get up. Level up for Tropius!

As you check Tropius over, Umbreon's voice speaks in your head. "Continue on, trainer. You have earned the right." When you look around, Umbreon is gone, and a door has appeared on the other side of the room. What will you do?

[Another Fan]

Another Fan - Startled at the chain of events caused by Batterie's Metal Sound, you quickly consider your remaining options. You call out to Batteries, who doesn't seem to respond, until it pushes off the ground, Poochyena clinging to it. A few barrel rolls, and Poochyena lands uncomfortably on the ground.

A dark aura creeps around Poochyena, and as Batteries goes in for a Tackle, you gasp as Poochyena counters with what could only be a Shadow Rush! The two collide, and bounce back, each taking some damage from the attacks. What will you do now?

Jeff's mind does a flip and he thinks. He heard of stories of shadow pokemon. It was absolutely apalling what the trainer did to pokemon. They turned them into black-hearted robots just to complete the wicked tasks that their tariner wants them for. He felt sorry for the thing but now was not the time; stealing the pokemon was impossible and trying to reason with the grunt was just foolish.

He remembers that shadow pokemon were prone to fits of confusion and misbehavior even to there trainers. So trying to take advantage of that Jeff shouts "Be quick and stay out of reach. Do anything that may annoy the foe and hit only when it is a clear shot."

[Radical Edward]

[COLOR="PaleGreen"]My Group:

Okay, as you may or may not know, I'm leaving Fizzytopia and are now updating for Loki in the Water Zone. Therefore, those whose adventures were coming to an end, I will be giving prizes out for. Please be aware that if you accept the item, then you MUST restart your adventure with your new updator. This aren't updates, just summaries to round off your adventures Please reply to confirm taking your items though. Its been great guys.



Radical Edward: Silver's battle against Vigoroth was a close-call but in the end, Silver was able to pull through and get the victory. You continue on into the Labyrinth, and in the sand on the ground, lies a single Nugget which is yours to keep. All of a sudden, the Vigoroth and Slakoth disappeared; they were merely spirits and you find that you had been tested by the spirits of the warrior whom had perished here. The Nugget is your reward. Lily, freaked by this, suggested that you turn back and you did. When you eventually find your way out, you thank her for the help and go your seperate ways..

Thank ya shin ^_^ you were a great updator! WOMG!*takes the nugget*

And I'd like to restart in Sconociuto.

[Another Fan]

Hello. I am Another Fan and I am now the updator of the following people: P-Arts, Ryman, Dae-Maker, Hureta and Golden Mew. I will be updating usually on Tuesdays and Saturdays however today I was a bit excited to get these up. I'm am truly sorry if this color burns your eyes but it matches my signature so it stays. Please inform me on which person you prefer for me to update you in. Thank you.

P-Arts:
After the hike to the Monorail Station and the extremely horrible feeling of teleportation you and Jiroubi appear with a flash on the unusual planet of Sconociuto. The planet seems to be barren and unfortunately filthy. You take a step on the yellow ground and it unleashes a cloud of turquoise gas fills your lungs and you black out from it.
The nap doesn’t last too long and you awake with a horrible headache and seemingly laying in a lush yellow flower field beside a two-foot high brown croissant and what seems to be a pinkish yellowish blackish floating Nurse Joy head that is busy breathing a strange gas into your face.

Ryman:
You walk through the Mystical Woodland with your head pointing up to the sky searching for the amazing Garden of Iris that is hidden in the heavens way up high. The leaves crinkle as you walk on this breezy autumn day. Of course with your head in the clouds, you can hardly pay attention to the ground below and the trees that are in front of you and you walk calmly into a beautiful and magnificent oak tree.
Once you get on back to your feet, you see a small pineco banging on the branches until the falls to the ground and onto your foot.

Dae~Maker:
Soon, you and Rictor materialize on a gigantic cliff on the surface of Sconociuto. Unfortunately, you and your camel friend appear not on the top of the cliff but rather on the side of the cliff, which luckily happens to be covered in a glue like substance that holds you up against the wall. Now you are fortunate enough so you end up with your back stuck to the wall, while your numel isn’t as lucky so the poor thing is pasted on its side.
Below the cliff is a gaseous plain and you can plainly see some poor boy laying there dazed from the toxins; however the face of the rock is steep and the distance to the ground is probably about the length of a good fifteen meters. Also it is a bit shorter to climb up to the top or to find a cavern.

Hureta:
The river flows down and you and your swine follow it. The trip has little complications and soon you reach the beautiful beach. A full moon shines in that kind of romantic way that the moon shines in movies. So the beach is empty but not closed. You and Denulge could swim but the water is cold and it is tentacool season so I wouldn’t advise you to.
So, the night is a cold one and the beach is pretty empty. They’re some deckchairs and umbrellas that you would normally rent during the day but nothing is stopping you from laying down. Also, there is a bar with some local trainers who are partying the night away. You see a couple that pass by with their prized corphish and shellder. One of the more drunk ones shouts to your pig in a slurred manner, “Party on, amigo!”



Golden Mew:
You walk into the cold laboratory, the "Holding Room", which was filled with various test and cages filled with poor miserable pokemon, half of which were either deformed or mad. You pokemon, the jigglypuff and the clefairy were not in cages however. A jigglypuff and Enterna were wrapped together with a coil - limbs tied - and placed on the table. While the pokemon there were busy panicking the rocket was calmly placing the needle into a clefairy, which was wrapped around a table, which the rocket seemed to give a lot of attention to.
A white cloudy mixture was pumped out of the clefairy and it passed out with a look of pain in her eyes. The rocket, an elderly woman with mean eyes, almost giddily, jumped to the still conscious pokemon - both Enterna and the jigglypuff crying - and placed half of the liquid in each.
The balloon pokemon swelled up, its eyes glowing a bright white. It stretched and tore at the coils with its disfigured hands. The pokemon had changed. It was enraged and powerful and its eyes continued to glow.
Enterna reacted not as well as the jigglypuff. Her face and body wilted and her eyes had just flat out stopped working. She rose into the air and darkened. Black energy flowed from every pore of her body, horribly harming everything in the room. The pokemon in the cages screamed, the collapsed and even the crazed jigglypuff's mind was being ripped to shreds by the leaf pokemon.

[Bloody Banette]

Felix entered to the awesome world of Fizzitopia, he has never been here, but he had listened a lot of this beautifull place. "I don't know where I am, I'll look at the map". He sent out Painkiller from his pokeball who started to play and fly around Felix "Dus-dussss" he laughed, but Felix was very cooncentrate in the map and didn't care. "Painkiller, come here, look at this map" Painkiller stopped flying around Felix and payed attention, "where would you like to go?" asked Felix a bit nervous, he knew that Painkiller had an extrange mind and also knew that Painkiller's choise was going to be the dessert, but surprinsingly Duskull looked instantly to the Mystical woodland. Felix laughed "You always surprise me" and they started to go to their destination.

[Manji]

Manji - You glare at Tempest, awaiting his response. The noise that echoes through the lighthouse, however, is not what you expect. You whirl around, and see Ariel walk through the now open door to the lighthouse. "Well done Manji, well done." Her gaze turns to Tempest, and the hound does not look pleased to see Ariel.

"Why do you interfere with that which is none of your concern," Tempest barks through gritted teeth.

"None of my concern? Tempest, remember that I am the sole reason you are able to exist on this plane." Ariel sighs, and turns to you. "My apologies for Tempest's behaviour. He takes his task very seriously, and sometimes oversteps his bounds."

"I am sure you have many questions. Let me try and answer at least one of them. The diary does not exist. This lighthouse is computerised, and failed to operate on the night of the shipwreck due to a mechanical fault. Now, since I'm sure you have many more questions, Tempest and I would like for you to join us at my cabin, before I explain what you want to know."

The astral dog growls, before he vanishes. Ariel turns, and walks down the stairs. What will you do?

With everything that he had seen up to this point, if there was one thing he wasn't expecting, this was it. His jaw just about dropped as Ariel walked into the attic room and addressed Tempest.

So as it turned out, there was no diary. The tests had been nothing but a waste of time. Nathen restrained himself from shouting an outburst at the phantom Houndoom, but he felt that would just make the situation worse.

Instead he followed Ariel down the lighthouse steps and to her cabin, where he found the front door propped open for him. Pulling six pokeballs from his belt, he threw them all to the ground. His team appeared in a dazzling flare of light.

"You guys wait here," Nathen instructed. "I'm going to see what Ariel has to say." He turned and went towards the house, then looked back in afterthought.

"Bandit, you come with me." Obidiently, his Sandshrew lifted itself off the ground and followed him into the cabin. "Let's find out exactly what's going on here..." Nathen said grimly.

[Nagashi]

P-Arts:
After the hike to the Monorail Station and the extremely horrible feeling of teleportation you and Jiroubi appear with a flash on the unusual planet of Sconociuto. The planet seems to be barren and unfortunately filthy. You take a step on the yellow ground and it unleashes a cloud of turquoise gas fills your lungs and you black out from it.
The nap doesn’t last too long and you awake with a horrible headache and seemingly laying in a lush yellow flower field beside a two-foot high brown croissant and what seems to be a pinkish yellowish blackish floating Nurse Joy head that is busy breathing a strange gas into your face.

James, taking his current situation with a relatively calm nature compared to what he would of expected (the trainer had only screamed three times), he started to flail about in an attempt to reach his pokeballs, only to grab a croissant with strawberries. That was strange. In a desperate attempt to prove to himself he wasn't insane, he grabbed a random pokeball from his belt, and threw it high into the air.

Before his cunning scheme could fail, the brown crossaint above his head leapt into the air gracefully and grabbed the pastry he had just thrown high.

"What are you doing?" the crossaint said with a sigh, shaking its head irritably. "Come on, let's just move. I want to reaching a camping spot by nightfall."

Ignoring the food that sounded suspiciously like Jiroubi, James shut his eyes and began whispering to himself over and over again "I'm not insane, I'm not insane..." But unfortunately, the ruse crossaint kicked him.

"Stop talking to yourself and call out Amudon," snapped (what James asumed to be) Jiroubi. He let out a sigh of releief, realising he must just be tripping out, before continuing to listen. "There's a weird fog round here that's making me all giggly, so let's go."

Nodding weakly, James took the crossaint Jiroubi had snatched earlier, and threw it into the air, hoping it would release Amudon, his skarmory, who could fly him to safety. Please let it be him, please let it be him...

Wonderful Updates, fresh off the press! Get 'em whilst they're hot!

noJ neJ

You sneak throughout the halls of the Rocket hide out, trying to find the Pokémon Storage room.
Taro helps you look...albeit less enthusiastically, he *is* a Lotad, after all, and soon, you come upon the room
that says the name you are looking for. You look to the sides of the door, hoping to be able to see in,
but alas, there are no windows to look through. "I hope this card is able to be used here.." You say to yourself,
as you slide the keycard down a small pad located to the right of the door. A chime rings, and the door slides open, Star
Trek style, to reveal a room full of cages, many empty, but some have Pokémon in them.

You peer into each cage, seeing the sad Pokémon look back out at you, until you reach an aquarium type thing. Looking inside,
you see many different Water Pokémon flitting around, but a small yellow one in the corner catches your eye.
The Shiny Luvdisc floats sadly forward, peering intently into your eyes. The poor thing looks lost and scared,
but before you can do anything else, you hear the door hiss open, and a voice.

"Why'd this thing have to act up now?! Maybe I should just end your life, you worthless thing!"

You crouch behind a covered cage, and watch as a Rocket Grunt walks in carrying a Hoppip, who looks beaten to a pulp!
Wondering what could have done this, you feel yourself start to sieze up. Oh great...a sneeze!

ACHOO!

The Grunt leaps up in surprise, and turns in your direction, after securing the Hoppip in a cage. "Who are you?" He asks warily.
Before you can say anything, he notices you aren't wearing a Rocket Logoed Shirt (tm) and pulls out a Pokéball. "Poochyena, take
care of this twerp!" He tells it. It growls, and menacingly starts forward, ready for battle.

What will you do?

~~~~~~~~~~

Soft 'N Squishy Fire Mouse

The HootHoot drinks deeply from the bottle, and you watch it perk up like...well...any animal would
after being in a drought and drinking some water...yeah, that's it! Aizen is prepared to fight again,
as the Koffing prepares to float around like only Koffing can. Before Aizen takes off, you give it a gulp of Andidote,
which helps to dispell the poison that was flowing through its body. Aizen leaps from your arm, flapping its stubby wings to keep
up in the air. The Koffing starts to spew more Poison Gas into the small area, but at a grunt from the man controlling it,
Koffing stops and stares at Aizen. Soon, the Koffing stops staring and flies very quickly at Aizen, who just moves out of the way
gracefully, and smashes himself against the back of the Poison-Type, dealing good damage. Very angry at this, the man in black
calls his Koffing over, and pulls out a strange disk, holding it to the Koffing's forhead.

"Alright Koffing. Let's use that new move..." His voice, the first time you've heard it, calls out. Koffing concentrates, and soon,
crackles of energy form on his body. You have no idea what this move could be. What will you do?

~~~~~~~~~~

Below-the-Knee-and-above-the-Foot-Jara

You slide into the water, feeling the cold..wetness..of it all over your body. You give an involuntary
shiver and start to search for the lone Luvdisc. You hear, more feel, the water being disturbed behind you, and you
turn to see your newly evolved Wartortle following you. It seems he didn't need to know Dive after all!

The water is clear for most of the way, until you actually go into the small lagoon. There, it turns murky, and you can't
see very far ahead of you. You struggle to continue searching, but fail, because you just can't see. You surface in what you assume to be the lagoon,
but you find yourself in a small cavern. Startled, you look around, and see a pipe dumping...something...into the water, which you
assume is making it murky. You decide you'd rather not know what is being dumped, and pull yourself up out of the water.

Staring around, you see lights that stretch along the ceiling off into a tunnel, and you hear Pokémon cries, though distant.
It seems you have stumbled onto something...more interesting than you had thought. You hear the water splash behind you, and you turn startled
to see the Frenchman floating in the water. "'ello, I thought you might want some help. My boat iz zecure, and should be safe from
thieves. I'm certain Louvre is in here somewhere. My best bet is where those cries are coming from, but to make sure..." He trails off,
reaching onto his belt. He pulls a Pokéball from somewhere, and releases a Venonat. "Gerard, I want you to lead uz to where ze cries are coming from."
Gerard aims his antenna towards the tunnel, and trundles off. "Well mademoiselle, shall we?" He invites you, sweeping a hand towards the tunnel.
"Oh, and since you will need them, I brought your Pokémon along." He hands you the Pokéballs containing the rest of your team.

What will you do?

~~~~~~~~~~

Lizard-Like Unbeliever

The Sandshrew looks on angrily as you heal your Pokémon, Swablu drinking the water deeply, and
Treecko pepping up thanks to the Soda. You also administrate a dose of antidote, which helps to heal
them. Your opponent opens his mouth wide and spews poisonous quills at your Pokémon, who begin their
mad game of "Dodge that Poison." Treecko manages to dodge all of them, thanks to his inherant
speed, and to the Soda Pop he drank, but Swablu doesn't do as well. Five poison needles lodge into Swablu's
left wing, forcing him to the ground.

This doesn't prevent him from firing off another Tri Attack, however. The three elemental energies
slam into the unsuspecting Sandshrew, dealing good damage, and giving him a small burn. Treecko, seeking
to add insult to injury, takes a deep breath and lets out a blast of water, hitting the shrew in the stomach.

The Sandshrew bellows in anger, and starts to charge at you, claws ready for a Scratch attack.

What do you do?

~~~~~~~~~~

Colonel Hailstorm

Although you're confused by the attack commands you heard from the boy, you issue your own, and the
battle continues. Phanpy breathes in deeply, and then fires a burst of water at Meditite, who stands its ground,
taking the Water Gun. Phanpy then snorts, seperating into 3 different mini-elephants before your Meditite could react!
Taking a random guess, Meditite tries another Mega Punch, but slips as his fist goes right through
the image. Drat, one of the clones! Meditite turns to face the remaining adversaries, but before he can try to Meditate,
waves of energy fly off the Phanpy, and crash into Meditite, who howls in pain. The flying-based Hidden Power does what it is supposed
to do, causing Meditite to start panting heavily as the damage takes its toll. Phanpy travels back to his trainer, who bends
and issues whispered instructions. It seems he's going for secrecy this round.

What will you do?

Joke-&-Prize (Trick-Or-Treater..)


You land on the island located around Mt. Fumi, hoping to catch or at least find some exotic Pokémon.

You decide on heading for Fumi's Walk, a popular spot on the island, where many fun and exciting adventures
have happened. You start the long trek from the island's lone airport, and are dead-set on facing the challenge.

Reaching the Walk, you begin the long climb up around the mountain, keeping your eyes peeled for Pokémon, when a rumble
echoes through the area and the ground underneath your feet begins to shake what its momma gave it. You try desperatly to stay
on the winding path, but the earthquake proves to be too much, and you go sliding down the side of the mountain into the forest below.

You painfully crash into a tree, but are thankfully not knocked out. You stare at your surroundings, and realize you're lost.

A Growl comes from your left, followed by one on your right, and you realize you aren't alone. Oh goody. Injured after slamming
into a tree, and now you're being assaulted by Pokémon! What will you do now?

There you guys go, just like I promised! Have fun!

Again, sorry about the slow and short updates.

Shiny_Magneton: Dani shakes her head. “I’m not sure exactly, but most of the people I’ve talked to think it’s an underwater cavern.” You look around and suddenly realize that there are more people than you two, all spread about the cavern. Some were alone, others had Pokemon with them, and some were talking to other people, but they all had the same expression their faces: confusion. You turn back to Dani and she continues. “Everyone shares pretty much the same story. They or their Pokemon see a shimmering in the air, which leads them to an isolated spot on a body of water, then a huge whirlpool forms and sucks them and they black out, only to wake up here.” She looks at you and asks, “Is this what happened to you?” You nod and begin to say something when a strange sound fills the cavern. As you and Dani look around for the source of the noise, you notice that Dani’s hand moves to her waist, where a pair of sais are attached to her belt. The music fades away as a new sound emerges: a loud crack. You whip your head around to where you think the sound came from to see a young woman coming out of a fissure in the cavern wall about fifty feet from you that had not been there before. The woman waited for all the trainers, including you and Dani, to encircle her, then she opened her mouth and began to speak in a soft voice, “Welcome, trainers. My name is Trianna. Each of you have been chosen to compete in the Tournament of Legends.” She pauses fo a second, as though for emphasis, then continues. “Let me explain. For many months I have sought for trainers all over Fizzytopia, and I have chosen each of you to be the most worthy to compete. It is your choice, of course, but first, I will explain how the Tournament of Legends will work. You will be divided into groups of three, and each team will be given a jewel that represents their group. When they are eliminated, their pendant goes to the team that defeated them, which means that the team to gain all of the pendants wins. I will warn you though, that the challenges you will compete in to win will be more than just battles. They will stretch your cunning, ingenuity, and skill to the highest level.” Trianna pauses again, and says, in a kinder tone, “It is, of course, your choice whether you wish to compete.” She looks at each trainer in turn, receiving various responses, but all basically saying that they want to participate. Next to you Dani nods and says, “I will compete too.” Then Trianna looks at you. What will you say?

With Dani's reply, Stephen looks around the area, seeing a good amount of other people. Getting more of an explanation, Stephen whips his head around in surprise as he hears a splitting sound behind him, as the ground begins to speak. She introduces herself as Trianna, and speaks about her reason for bringing the people there. Looking around the cavern for answers, Stephen watches as each of the people begin to answer, with different answers, but all with the same message. Trianna then turns to him. He replies in a slightly worrying tone which falters somewhat, "If you tell me where my Spheal is, I will gladly participate in your competition."

Jon was caught off-guard for only a moment, before he was able to patch togther a worthy alibi. He dusted himslef off and began speaking in a persuasive manner. To the un-Jon-trained eye, you wouldn't have even noticed he was frazzled at all. but not all people where like that...

~~~"Our research has been succesful, for the most part..." Jon spoke pausing with a smile on his face. "The genetic altering has gone by rather well, with few problems..."

"That's all very good, but, I'm getting tired of these constant generalizations, Mr. Cloudsdale." spoke a stern voice, from a large desk opposite the podium Jon stood at. At the man's sides, there sat several other fancy looking types, the Chair Board of Volt. Behind the man, Jen lingered, also listening eagerly to the presentation, though a little more distant than the others. "We're not interested in appearances, or grace, or style. We're interested in powerful pokemon. So, do we have powerful pokemon?" the chairman spoke again.

"Indeed. The pokemon have improved as far as we can see, but, I suggest further testing on the matter. While the pokemon have made theoretical improvements, they are unstable. I'm afraid they can't be put to any real use, until we can straighten out the issue." Jon spoke back, with a proud face. "It's only a minor setback though. It won't require to much difficulty..." he was cut off.

"You should hope its not a difficulty, Jon. We've given you a great deal of time to perfect this flaw in the pokemon. And since, we've recieved nothing. It seemed easy enough for you to change the pokemon's color, but since, no real work has come out. You're department is becoming a liability to us." the chairman replied finitely.

"I understand you're concern, Master Tesla, but this issue is a on the verge of being corrected. I ask only for a little more time." he spoke calmly.

"I will grant this. However, make haste. My patience is running thin. That will be all." Tesla spoke, leaving the room, with his board. The only ones to remain were Jon and Jen.

"Jon, I'm concerned. Master Tesla will not show you this much compassion in the future. And frankly, I'm surprised you managed to talk him into a calm state at all." Jen spoke.

"Thank you, Jen, but you don't need to worry. I'm on the verge of a break..." he was cut off again. he spoke in a laid back tone, but, he was more nervous than he was lettin gon.

"No you are not. You're kicking you're feet and you know it. But why are you persisting?" Jen asked.

"I'm not persisting. It's a difficult project. I'm not sure that it can even be completed." Jon spoke. Inside, he was turning away, but outside, he stood his ground.

"Do you really believe that? If you don't finish this project, someone else will." Jen spoke, skipping ahead to the 'real' discussion at hand. "You should know that. But why don't you want to finish the project now?" Jen questioned.

"I'm... having second thoughts... About the research. Is what we're doing wrong? Is it our right to manipulate pokemon like this? Am I just?" Jon asked.

"You didn't seem to have a problem with the research before, when it was about manipulating the color of pokemon." Jen stabbed at him fiercely. "You wouldn't be trying to take advantage of our resources, now would you, Mr. Cloudsdale?" Jen asked sarcastically.

"Look, I didn't sign on for this! I signed on for establishing a new sense of diversity for pokemon everywhere!" Jon spoke. "Not for recreating the Shadow Pokemon disaster!"

"...Hmmm... I see... Well, as you please, Mister Cloudsdale. However, for your sake, I hope you finish your work." Jen finished, leaving him.~~~

"Whoa there buddy! This may come as a surprise, but I happen to be a new recruit of yours! I'm just acquainting myself to your facility here!" Jon spoke happily, giggling his way around Poochyena, making his way up to the rocket. "See, I'm good for it!" he spoke, holding up the ID card he had earlier... 'acquired'. "This guy gave me his card to go check out the labs, and the storage, so... here I am!" he said with a smile. "Of course, if you're still unsure of my "credentials", we could have the battle your so desperately eager for!" Jon offered.

"However, it'll come at a price. If I win, you'll give me that lovely Luvdisc there, and we'll go on our merry way! And, in the unlikely case you win... well, you just name your price. Sound like a deal?" Jon negotiated. He had taken a fervent liking to that Luvdisc, and he was willing to gamble for it. Besides, it was worth it to obtain a yellow or black coloured pokemon, for Jon. No yellow pokemon could be trouble, especially such a cutie. "So, whaddya say?"

Jon was fully prepared to throw Taro into battle at his enemy's ready. "In case he should choose to battle with me... What should I do...?" he thought to himself, worried on the inside, cool and bubbly on the outside. "Lesse, I think I'd open this battle up by spraying out Water Gun to distract the enemy, and then move into a Leech Seed while it's off guard. Then, another Water Gun should do the trick! This battle is in the bag. Besides, I still have to other pokemon to use if I need to." Jon snickered to himself, still waiting for his enemy's reply.

Ryman:
You walk through the Mystical Woodland with your head pointing up to the sky searching for the amazing Garden of Iris that is hidden in the heavens way up high. The leaves crinkle as you walk on this breezy autumn day. Of course with your head in the clouds, you can hardly pay attention to the ground below and the trees that are in front of you and you walk calmly into a beautiful and magnificent oak tree.
Once you get on back to your feet, you see a small pineco banging on the branches until the falls to the ground and onto your foot.

Ryan snaps back into realality and notices the Pineco by his foot.
"Hey buddy", strarts Ryan as he picks up the pinecone-looking Pokemon, "Are you alright? What were you doing up there?"
Ryan looks up at the tree to see what the Pineco might have been doing.

Justin is still mourning over the loss of Melissa, whom he only had for five days. He is happy, though, that he has finally managed to obtain a Mareep.

"Jeremy, I know you wanted to go to daycare this week, but I want to evolve Rui into a strong Flaafy. Then it'll be your turn until you learn sing." Jeremy still looks sick from the poison. Justin uses an antidote on the poor bird and returns him into his pokeball.

"Now Kimberly, I've got a lot of faith in you." Justin takes out another bottle of soda pop. "If you feel low on energy, just come back for more soda." Justin also whips out more fresh water and antidotes. "Come to me for anything you need."

Justin and Kimberly glare at the angry Sandshrew.

"Kimberly, your best bet would be to constantly dodge its attacks, while launching powerful absorbs to gain back some health. No water guns because the Sandshrew is burned. Can you do that?"

Kimberly nods at the command and prepares to continue with her "dancing".

Hello. I am Another Fan and I am now the updator of the following people: P-Arts, Ryman, Dae-Maker, Hureta and Golden Mew. I will be updating usually on Tuesdays and Saturdays however today I was a bit excited to get these up. I'm am truly sorry if this color burns your eyes but it matches my signature so it stays. Please inform me on which person you prefer for me to update you in. Thank you.

~*Hureta*~:
The river flows down and you and your swine follow it. The trip has little complications and soon you reach the beautiful beach. A full moon shines in that kind of romantic way that the moon shines in movies. So the beach is empty but not closed. You and Denulge could swim but the water is cold and it is tentacool season so I wouldn’t advise you to.
So, the night is a cold one and the beach is pretty empty. They’re some deckchairs and umbrellas that you would normally rent during the day but nothing is stopping you from laying down. Also, there is a bar with some local trainers who are partying the night away. You see a couple that pass by with their prized corphish and shellder. One of the more drunk ones shouts to your pig in a slurred manner, “Party on, amigo!”

"Go Axtan," and out comes his natu from the pokeball. "Oh, hi guys." Turns out that they were drunk and Centin couldn't communicate with them. Centin saw some knots on the corphish and shellder indicating that they are prized. Something struck into Centin's head.

Centin whispered to Axtan. "I'm not sure if you feel it, but do you sense anything? Our new companion?" Axtan, his natu just stared at the prized pokemon passing by. "You know, if Denulge was close to you probably he could explain it to you. But I don't know, you should develop the compaion-sensing skills by now." His Axtan just stared at the bar.

Feeling a bit awkward, another idea struck into Centin's head. "I know, we should go to the bar, right Axtan?". Yet again, his natu just sit there and doesn't move at all. "Alright, so we enter the bar!"

<ooc> Ooh, medium turqouise, my favourite colour. Any other confusions regarding the paragraphs shall be explained here in the future to ease your job of updating. There was no mention about Denulge because he was in the daycare, so just assume that I returned him or something. </ooc>

Dae~Maker: Soon, you and Rictor materialize on a gigantic cliff on the surface of Sconociuto. Unfortunately, you and your camel friend appear not on the top of the cliff but rather on the side of the cliff, which luckily happens to be covered in a glue like substance that holds you up against the wall. Now you are fortunate enough so you end up with your back stuck to the wall, while your numel isn’t as lucky so the poor thing is pasted on its side.

Below the cliff is a gaseous plain and you can see some poor boy laying there dazed from the toxins. However the face of the rock is steep and the distance to the ground is probably about the length of a good fifteen meters. It is also a bit shorter to climb up to the top or to find a cavern in the cliff than to scale down to the boy.

<ooc> Thank you Another Fan for taking on the updates of my journey. Sorry my reply is so short, but once thinks get rolling, then they will become much better. Also, just to inform you of my style, italics means thought or thinking and "quotations" means actual speach. Just want you not to get confused. Anyway, thanks again.<ooc>

Looking down upon the cliff, Grey is shocked by its mystery. The place is on the most extreme opposite side of the normality spectrum, more so than Grey anticipated. With his mouth open in awe, he stares around, first seeing the boy, then the top of the cliff, and lastly his struggling Numel. Feeling a wave of sympathy, Grey frees his arm and returns the Pokemon to its Pokeball. Then staring down again, Grey feels even more sympathetic. I can't just leave the poor guy down there. I gotta go help. With that decision made, Grey slowly adjusts himself so that he can climb down the wall and do so...
