Fizzytopia's Recorded History

[Silver Wind]

[:SW:]
Calling out your Masquerian, you order it to Quick Attack it. Following your orders, Gliss shoots towards the Fearow, hitting it in the stomach! Fearow squawks a: “FEARO!” but gets blinded by Gliss’s Flash!
Fearo, Fearo, Fearo, Fearo, FEAROW! Fearow starts to flap its wings even harder, making gusts of wind join the Twister! Your Backpack gets ripped off of your back, and joins the crowd in the Twister. It rips open, spreading 5 normal Pokeballs out of a pocket. Meanwhile, ‘Plume has succeeded in luring the other ‘Bulls away from the Twister area, as you try to catch the eggs, Scarlet and your backpack. The girl slowly starts to open her eyes. “HANIWA!” she shouts out in shock. “Tadoinda, No kooke imo Tado!” she shouts to you. You look at her in a puzzled way.

“Tadoinda, No kooke imo Tado!”

Nope, still not a clue of what she’s saying. “Gah!” she replies as she gets another Intado Pokeball from her hair. “Ursanodada!” In a white coloured flash, a large Ursaring appears. She shouts again: “You…..atckrah…tawah Fearo…together…with Ursanodada ten Masqunadada!” In normal English, she wants to attack the Fearow with the combined powers of Ursaring and Gliss. What will you do?
Follow her advice and attack together? Or take faith in your own hands?

Seeing as this couldn't get any worse, Matt had no other choice but to attack with her. Watching as Scarlet and a bunch of Snub's and eggs flew around in the twister, Matt couldn't do anything but think what if it was his Snubbull and her family flying around in there. Looking at Gliss, he shouted out some orders for Gliss, "Start this off with another Quick Attack, try to knock it down on the ground for the giant bear to attack. If that doesn't work, try a Sweet Scent to lure him down closer to the ground." He looked over to the Intado, and nodded.

[Beco]

Beco:

“So that’s why you’re around, is it? You heard about them coming around here…” he sighed for a moment. Before continuing, he walked over to you, and gave you a pat on the head. “You’re a nice boy to indulge in my ramblings…” he applauded you strangely.

“Well… I witnessed one such instance once…” the man spoke quietly. “Those people always come in disguise… as you may have heard… One can never know who the mysterious attacker will be.” he said… oddly, as he took his things and sat at the table once more, inviting you to a seat as well, which you nervously accept. “However… I advise you to stay out of it… You may not be able to handle them…” the man spoke, staring off a bit oddly.

With that, you were both interrupted by a scream from inside the café. It was Gracie, and you wonder what was happening, or if she was trying to signal you back in. You rushed back into the café, quickly joining back up with your Charmeleon, as the strange man you were speaking to stayed behind outside, watching intently… and oddly.

Inside, the two aging women you saw walk in earlier were running rampant, one, wearing a mask resembling a fox, with a white face and an odd feel about it, a spirit known as kitsune, was busy tagging up a storm with a bottle of spray paint in her hand, and knocking things over. The other, with a mask of a demon, with large protruding teeth and red skin, known as an oni, had an axe in hand, and was smashing apart tables, chairs, the walls, literally everything. The two snickered deeply as they did so.

“Beco! It’s them! You gotta help us!” Gracie yelled over from behind the counter, as she and Byron cowered underneath the counter, along with the elderly couple who were in the café earlier. As the oni old lady keeps going to town with her precious axe, laughing hysterically as she did so, the fox old lady approaches you angrily. “So you’re trying to help them out… are you!?” she questions you. She tosses out a Grimer, who begins by throwing Sludge Bombs all around the café, ruining it further. What do you do?

"Sludgebomb...Grimer learns that attack at level 43...unless it learned it with a tm...My only chance is trying to defeat it...". "Firo (Charmeleon), help me out here buddy..." I look at the others...They notice my look and come closer. "If that Grimer really is at a higher level then level 43 I'm going to be in a lot of troubles...But I promissed to help Gracie...The strange man...he knew this would happen... he also said that I won't be able to beat them... He has pokemon, I will need his help if what I think is thruth...". "Firo, use Ember on the Grimer..."

[Tale]

The slakoth gave a wide, fox like smile after you were done giving orders. "Mee'ster's good, yes? He powerful, but could be more... could be more... If buy my products, pokemon get stronger! Like me!" At the disgusted look on your face he could tell the answer was no, but the smile stayed. "You make a mistake today, Mee'ster, a biggie..." Suddenly you could hear the sound of sirens coming towards the alley you were staying in. You glanced at the crowd and noticed that one of them was a tourist holding a phone - he must have called the police. "Next meeting be different," said the slakoth, the smile widening. He muttered something in the native tongue before yelling, "Bye!" and leaping as high as he could, landing on one of the houses roof and running off. The next thing you saw was a dangerous, dark skinned police-man running towards you holding a baton; then everything went black. One hour later you awoke, tied to a chair, in a bleak, grey room, surrounded by police-man who were talking to each other in hushed voices. You groaned as the pain in your head caught up, where presumably you had been hit by the baton, causing all eyes to turn on you. The large man who had knocked you out walked over and spat in a foreign accent, "Ok, English, I don't know how they do things where you're from, but here, we're trying to live peaceful lives. No - battling - in the - streets. Any fool knows that, 'specially with Harvest trying to sell..." There was a pause. "Well?" he roared, "What do you have to say for you'self?" What do you do...?

Wow, am I glad to be back in this adventure =D.

Oscar was hit with immediate confusion the moment he’d awoke, and before he knew it, this guy was staring him in the face, demanding an explanation.

Oscar remained silent, not so much out of defiance, but mostly to straighten out his mind, trying his damnedest to recollect the previous happenings before he was yelled at some more. He knew the Slakoth was trying to sell him something…suspicious, but would these people believe a random Slakoth from the streets had forced the battle upon him? Was the battle forced at all? Oscar struggled to remind himself of the events, beginning to doubt his own actions as the correct ones in the first place.

As he gazed back into the dark-skinned man’s eyes, he forced speech from his lips, stuttering all the while, “I-I’m sorry, sir. M-my actions…were wrong, I’m a newcomer within these parts you see, and I failed to grip the laws before I went about battling – I’m sorry.” How Oscar had managed to muster up an apology like that in the brain-dead state he was in, he didn’t know. But his clumsiness in the past had somewhat rewarded him with experience at apologies – though he had no idea of this one’s effect. It was the best he could muster.

[Furizaa]

Hoorah, and thus begins the countdown of updates 'till the fun really begins.

Update 1/10 complete :3

However, I appologize for how short they are, but I hope you enjoy them still.

John's Knight:
You declare that you will continue the battle, and that you intend to win, causing the Ringmaster to burst out in his diabolical laughter. “You really think that you can defeat my Aithynx?! Very brave of you, but foolish!” Despite his taunts, you tell Ruby your battle plan, and as he begins to adjust to his new body, he nods as he gets ready to attack. Ruby then suddenly begins to glow again, as another strange Geodude clone is spawned from him, and then Ruby begins to flex his rocky muscles as he Bulks Up. In almost no time, another massive Hyper Beam is sent at Ruby while he Bulks Up, and is blocked by the strange Geodude, which is instantly destroyed upon contact with the Hyper Beam. Though fatigued from the energy he spent creating the Substitute, Ruby smacked the ground as hard as he could, sending a flurry of rocks at Aithynx. Though it was able to block some of the Rock Slide with its Psychic, the rest hit their target, and was followed up by Ruby head butting Aithynx with his new horn for a Peck attack. However, Aithynx showed hardly any signs of pain, with the exception of its eyes twitching. It the dawns on you that this whole time, Aithynx’s face hasn’t moved, with the exception of its glaring eyes. What will you do?

Alilatias & Ichimaru:
Suspense fills the air as the “rain” falls in the pool area. With the Team Aqua grunts’ new and mysterious pokemon lurking in the depths of the rapidly filling pool, Soruta and Muu each send out their pokemon, Saito the Breloom and Tei the Natu. As Soruta and Muu tell their pokemon to send Leech Seeds and Thunderwaves into the pool, Gary quickly exclaims for Dani to get out of the pool so she doesn’t get hit, and she does so, hopping out quickly. Taking their cues, Saito then chucks the seeds into the water, and Tei zaps it with his electrical tendrils. A bright green light can suddenly be seen from the depths of the water and a surge of bubbles rise to the surface. “That attack looks familiar…” Gary pondered, “Wait a minute, that has to be a Dragonbreath! We should watch out for this pokemon, it could get tricky.” The eerie, deafening cry of the pokemon filled the room once again, causing everyone but the grunts to shudder. The water suddenly erupts again, and in an instant, a massive Hydro Pump fires at Tei, blasting him into the wall, doing considerable damage. The pokemon roars its eerie cry again, and you gaze at the pokemon, a dark blue dragon that has two giant fins for wings. Gary stared up at it in shock, and then remembered something. “That Flygon… it’s… it’s the Tsunami Project’s beta test! Soruta, remember that I told you earlier about what I was undercover for? Team Aqua… was trying to create something that could change a pokemon’s type to water! They seemed to have succeded!” The AquaFlygon glared down at the group, preparing for battle. It seemed to be balancing on the surface of the water with only its tail submerged. Taking the opportunity to attack, the group’s pokemon sprung into action. Bubbles fired off a stream of Bubblebeams, though ineffective, gave Dani plenty of time to spew a blast of a Dragonbreath of her own, striking the water dragon. Giving no time for it to retaliate, Saito blew an Icy Wind at the AquaFlygon, freezing it over only slightly. Tei, who had just recovered from the Hydro Pump, disappeared in a puff of smoke, reappeared next to Flygon, tackling it with dark energy. As he then flew to obtain some distance from it, he then shot another Thunderwave, which ensnared the dragon for a brief moment before it broke free of the electrical tendrils. The AquaFlygon then bellowed as it prepared for an attack. It slammed its hands down on the water’s surface, creating a giant wave that not only washed Dani on the edge of the pool, the Surf crashed into Saito, Bubbles, and Tei, before subsiding into calm water once again. The Flygon simply remained in its stance on the water surface, glaring at the group. What will you do?

Whoever makes fun of it dies. :P Just note that I'm not spending much time on the sprites cause I only want to give y'all a visual reference, not make a masterpiece

JAF:
You tell Slowpoke you next round of commands, and while she takes a moment to comprehend them, the Scyther begins to glow as it Focuses its Energy. It is then blind-sighted by Slowpoke’s Swift attack, the stars hitting their target. However, when she begins to blow an Icy Wind at Scyther, it is only hit at first before it speeds out of the way and slams into Slowpoke with a Quick Attack, causing critical damage. Slowpoke is about to switch back to another Swift attack, but the pain from the previous attack sets in, causing her to wince. The Scyther then takes that opportunity to use another Quick Attack, and the two pokemon collide as Slowpoke miraculously uses Strength at the last minute. Slowpoke is getting even more fatigued now, but luckily the Scyther is beginning to pant. However, it seems to be regaining its sight once again, though its vision is still pretty blurry. What will you do?

Bloody_Banette:
You carefully explain your plans to both Painkiller and Arianne, and the battle carries on. Painkiller floats over to Magneton to try and phase through it and confuse it further, but as he tries to float through, Magneton fires off a blast of electricity as a natural reaction, striking Painkiller up close. He recoils in pain for a moment, but after he recovers, Painkiller blows an Icy Wind at magneton. Though Magneton doesn’t seem to react at all from the blast, it simply remains floating awkwardly in place, seeming to forget what attack it was going to use next. Still slightly shocked from the powerful release of electricity, Painkiller uses the time he bought with Icy Wind to use a Rest. The red orb that appears to be Painkiller’s eye simply fades off, and he too floats in place, motionless yet recovered. What will you do?

HakuBlue:
Feeling enraged about Lucy’s condition, you recall her and have Sefi try and take out the giant pile of sludge. You tell him your commands, and the battle begins. Sefi sprays a powerful stream of Bubblebeams at the Muk, hitting its target forcefully. Realizing that it is now time for battle, the Muk hurls a few oversized balls of Sludge at the corsola, but Sefi also fires off an array of Spear-like Icicles, the icy daggers blasting through the middles of the Sludges, instantly breaking them as they sailed through the air to pierce the side of the Muk. As it is now the Muk’s turn at being enraged, it spits a powerful Toxic at Sefi, but as you had anticipated, Sefi saved some energy by letting the attack hit and simply glowing as he cured himself of the poisoning. Sefi seems to be having the upper hand at the moment, but the Muk’s rage shouldn’t be taken lightly. What will you do now?

[Mamoru]

So much for replying quickly, like last time. Sorry about that.

Mamoru:

Kuraiyuuga smiles, nodding at your orders, before getting prepared. Spreading her legs apart, she goes DBZ style, the flame forming in between her hands. With a cry, she throws it forcefully at the forest, and the attack hits a tree, lighting it ablaze. Shinjuu follows through with his part of the plan, flapping his wings as the bag of powder at his neck starts to glow. Soon, lines of silver form inside the gust that Shinjuu is producing, growing stronger as the Silver Powder at his neck explodes open, sending the powder flying to mix with the wind.

The attack fans the flames, which crackle and leap to another tree. Smoke floats toward the cieling of the rather large room, and Kuraiyuuga and Shinjuu stay still, waiting. The flames continue to spread, more trees catching fire, and still nothing happens. Then, in an explosion of fire and wood splinters, the few trees that caught fire are methodoically destroyed as the Scyther furiously slashes at them. Buzzing forward, Shinjuu beings to swipe his claws at Scyther, keeping him busy while Kuraiyuuga once again adopts the DBZ-esque stance, electricity beginning to crackle between he hands.

Scyther and Shinjuu dance madly in the air, Scyther's scythes and Shinjuu's claws slashing mercilessly up, down, and sideways, but few hits get in. Without warning, Scyther ducks a Fury Cutter from Shinjuu, spins in mid-air, and delivers a vicious kick to Shinjuu's face which sends him flying into a tree. Kuraiyuuga grimaces at this, then launches her attack, the electrical energy pounding through the air. Scyther turns, and raises his scythes gaurdingly as he is struck. His form is outlined by the electrical energies, dealing good damage to him. Scyther lowers his blades, and glares at your Kirlia, before disappearing and reappearing right next to the now-startled Psychic-type. He deals a vicious headbutt to her stomach, causing her to bend over in pain, before flapping his wings and sending a weaker version of Shinjuu's Silver Wind into her back, sending her face first into the ground.

With a malicious laugh, the Scyther spins on the spot, seeming to disappear. Suddenly, his voice echoes throughtout the room. "Issss that the bessst you've got, trainer...?"

What will you do now?

Mamoru smirks. "Patience Scyther, patience. When up against a strong opponent, even with the advantage of numbers, you need to plan your attacks carefully, do you not? You'll get your fight soon enough. Ne, Kuraiyuuga?"

He closes his eyes and bows his head slightly. This battle has been a bit too close for comfort, thusfar, but it's far from over yet. Scyther's suffered some damage, and his own Pokémon aren't doing too badly, all things considered. And, most importantly. He'd made Scyther angry. Now that was worth a chuckle, at least. Normally, a person would usually consider that to be something akin to suicide. But then, normally, a person isn't a master of emotional manipulation, and doesn't carry around with them a Ral...no, a Kirlia, who's most suited to this kind of work.

Now...where was it...surely she didn't miss the verbal cue he gave her.....aha. There it was, that slight twinge behind his forehead, that always signified contact. His own mental abilities might be woefully underdeveloped, but if Kuraiyuuga establishes the mental connection, there's no problems whatsoever...

Kuraiyuuga, we've made him angry now with that fire stunt, so his mind should be fairly easy to locate. Link up to Shinjuu, direct him to Scyther, and guide his Slash and Fury Cutter attacks through Scyther's defences to find their mark. Scyther might have us overmatched in raw power, but Shinjuu will have the advantage in speed once he gets going.

The twinge vanishing, Mamoru allows himself to start thinking freely again, opening his eyes and raising his head back up. There's simply nothing faster than a Ninjask, so Shinjuu should be fine, once the usual increases in speed it gains during battle kick in; and Kuraiyuuga would follow his commands perfectly, so there was no worries there either. But could Kuraiyuuga extract the information from Scyther and pass it on to Shinjuu rapidly enough for the plan to work? Certainly, findng Scyther wouldn't be a problem now, but actually defeating him...this will be difficult, at best. He'd have to start getting serious soon, before this play left Kuraiyuuga and Shinjuu too injured to actually fight effectively. No time for the usual arrogance today, except maybe to keep Scyther angry, and his mind open. Not if he seriously wants to attempt to capture this prize...

OOC- Hurra I just have to write 9 replies more 'til...
As Felix saw Painkiller resting, he searched in his pack for an awekening. He new he had brought some of them to the forest. When he found it at the botton of his pack, he ran towards Painkiller and gave it to him. Painkiller woke up and seemed to be a new pokemon, it was happier and his body let him do everything he wanted now. Felix took a look at the Magneton and the scientist, the Magneton looked a bit cold and motionless so he thought it was his opportunity. “Painkiller, I know your movepool is very limited but look where we are, the Magneton is almost fainted because of your efforts, you’re my most loyal pokemon and you will always be the strongest”. Painkiller was amazed, he didn’t know about how Felix thought about him, the only thing he was thinking now was in hug Felix, but due to his complexion he couldn’t. Painkiller got really frustrated as so did Felix, but he took advantage of this situation ordering to Painkiller to Leer the Magneton and then use a Night Shade attack.

[Arc_Angel]

Hey people, I finally updated, thanks to a little forcing from a friend ^.~ So yeah. Also just cause we pasted the 100th page and it was Friday the 13th on friday, you can all have a Bad Luck Absol Plushie :O When squeezed bad luck happens to you =3 Fun right?

Arc_Angel:

Imp and Cadaver both attack the wall, making a big enough hole to fit you through, you return Impish swiftly as Cadaver gets ready for the ride up. You two float slowly up and through the hole, you see nothing around but darkness Cadaver begins to descend not of his own accord making you slip off him and falls grabbing onto his small arm he falls too with the pressure around you. After a long fall you hit the ground with a hard thump with Cadaver by yourself loyally. You open your eyes slowly only to find yourself in a square from with no exits or entrances. Suddenly a large purple sphere emerges from the ground, it changes into a tall figure, just a bit taller than you, with short brown hair and slightly tanned skin, he is wearing an archaeologist’s uniform with determined green eyes. “Help me!” The guy asks quickly in his fading voice, you slowly move back as he floats toward you pleading for help.

“I maybe a ghost but I need you Stacey!” He says quickly as your vision goes blurry; however a second later the blurriness vanishes in an instant. You find yourself in a corridor, directly at the end it turns off to the left; noticing this you then look to the middle of the narrow corridor noticing a guy hugging a girl of about ten. “I’ll be back soon Melody, but stay safe, ok?” He asks sweetly and the girl nods and waves as she walks into a gap big enough for a human in the side of the corridor. The gap suddenly vanishes as if it was an automatic door, the guy looks around and then walks round the corner. He leaves your vision, all you can see is his archaeologist’s uniform before he walks around the corner and away from the safe place he left the girl named Melody. After a few moments of reflecting you realise that he was the guy who asked you to help him earlier, but a few years younger than the ghost you saw. Your vision goes blurry once more as you find yourself back in the room were you met the guy before.

“That’s me three years ago, me and my team came here to find out about a beast that had been killing people. My sister tagged along too,” He explains quickly trying not to leave any detail unmentioned. “But the beast attacked us; we fought it and lost, only me and Melody survived. However I found a way to beat the beast and I managed to hide Melody safely, but one error was made the creature knew I was onto it and summoned minions to attack me and stop my plan, then it killed me and I could never go back for my sister.” He then points at the far wall as a black swirling hole appears in the centre. “You don’t have to help me, but if you do please go through there and save her, she’s been there all alone for three years,” He says as tears fill his eyes and then run down his face each one full or sorrow and revenge on this so called beast. He then wipes away his tears with his ghostly arm and looks at you softly, he smiles and points at the hole.

What will you do now?

*squueee* Absol plushies *tries to resist glomping it, tenderly picks it up and toddles off to P.C* Thankya honey *hugs*

Impish and Cadaver charged up their ghost energies, the two beam of energy discharged forming together to smash through the wall. Stacey grinned at her pokemon's success and returned Impish to his pokeball. Grabbing onto her Duskulls arms tightly, she felt herself rise through the air as her almost effortlessly floated upwards. They floated through the gap created by the attacks and into the encroaching darkness. Stacey felt Cadaver to begin to lower and looked up to see him straining hard to hold her up. She felt her hands slips down his cold semi-sold arms and gasped as her fingers left him and she began to fall into the pit of darkness. Failing she managed to grab onto his left arm with hers but he could not support even himself in the air and they both fell into the pool of black air.

Stacey landed with a hard thump groaning as she sat back up rubbing the bruises on her back. Cadaver struck the ground but quickly gained his ability to levitate once more, not seemingly hurt. Remaining on floor, getting her bearings, Stacey looked around to find herself in a small square room with no visible exits. She sighed and grumbled about her bad luck in this Pyramid. Suddenly a pool of purple emerged from the floor moving with a will of its own forming a ball which started to take human form. The purple melted away to leave the figure of an adult male roughly the same age as her. He pleaded for help and Stacey looked on in shock kind of at loss with current events. He floated towards her and she rose to her feet involuntarily taking a step back.

“I maybe a ghost but I need you Stacey!” he says and Stacey frowns in confusion. Her surroundings start to blur as her vision goes wonky. She rubs her eyes as if to rid them of an unknown foreign object. When she opens her eyes again she finds herself in another part of the Pyramid, Cadaver beside her. She spins around quickly assessing her situation when the man she saw before appeared hugging a young girl. “I’ll be back soon Melody, but stay safe, ok?” He asks sweetly and the girl nods and waves as she walks into a gap big enough for a human in the side of the corridor. The gap suddenly vanishes as if it was an automatic door, the guy looks around and then walks round a corner. Stacey had a faint inkling that what she was seeing wasn't occurring now and so had let events play out. Her vision blurred once more and this time she let it as her old surroundings returned. She noted that Cadaver was still with her as he nodded his presence and she smiled in thanks.

“That’s me three years ago; me and my team came here to find out about a beast that had been killing people. My sister tagged along too,” He explains to Stacey as she stares her dark blue eyes unwavering. “But the beast attacked us; we fought it and lost, only I and Melody survived. However I found a way to beat the beast and I managed to hide Melody safely, but one error was made the creature knew I was onto it and summoned minions to attack me and stop my plan, then it killed me and I could never go back for my sister.” He points to the far wall and a dark spark forms in its centre quickly becoming a small sized black hole.

"You don’t have to help me, but if you do please go through there and save her, she’s been there all alone for three years,” he says becoming extremely emotional. Stacey frowned and looked to the black hole before her. She looks to Cadaver and they both nod. She slowly walks up to the hole before stopping and turning around.

"I will go search for your sister and bring her back to you should I find her. But answer me this, is this 'Beast' still lurking in this Pyramid? What is it exactly and if I come across it how do I fight it?" she asked waiting patiently for an answer.

However, I appologize for how short they are, but I hope you enjoy them still.

John's Knight:
You declare that you will continue the battle, and that you intend to win, causing the Ringmaster to burst out in his diabolical laughter. “You really think that you can defeat my Aithynx?! Very brave of you, but foolish!” Despite his taunts, you tell Ruby your battle plan, and as he begins to adjust to his new body, he nods as he gets ready to attack. Ruby then suddenly begins to glow again, as another strange Geodude clone is spawned from him, and then Ruby begins to flex his rocky muscles as he Bulks Up. In almost no time, another massive Hyper Beam is sent at Ruby while he Bulks Up, and is blocked by the strange Geodude, which is instantly destroyed upon contact with the Hyper Beam. Though fatigued from the energy he spent creating the Substitute, Ruby smacked the ground as hard as he could, sending a flurry of rocks at Aithynx. Though it was able to block some of the Rock Slide with its Psychic, the rest hit their target, and was followed up by Ruby head butting Aithynx with his new horn for a Peck attack. However, Aithynx showed hardly any signs of pain, with the exception of its eyes twitching. It the dawns on you that this whole time, Aithynx’s face hasn’t moved, with the exception of its glaring eyes. What will you do?

"Nothing can defeat Aithyinx...the Ringmaster has created the most powerful pokemon on Earth..."
Johnny stood there, for some moments, looking like he was brainwashed. On the contrary, Ruby was excited and was observing Aithyinx's horrible body. "There must be a weak spot..."...Still, due to the high number of Substitutes created, being destroyed right away by Hyper Beams, Ruby was very tired.
"Johnny, give me some Potion.", said Ruby.
Johnny didn't answer.
"Johnny, are you ok?"
Johnny didn't do a thing.
"Johnny, do something! Are you alive?"
Johnny didn't move, said something. Then, he "wakes up", by feeling some pain.
"Ouch! What hit me?", said Johnny, massaging his head. Then, he saw a small stone near him, on the ground.
"Ruby, why did you do that?"
"To wake you up. Don't worry, Johnny! Even if this Aithynx is pretty strong, we'll defeat it."
Johnny smiled at Ruby. "You're right, Ruby! We'll win this! Now, seeing you are pretty damaged, let me spray you with this Potion. Then, i want you to perform a Mud Sport near that beast, causing it to be a bit confused for some seconds. While the beast is busy, Bulk Up some more, then Mega Punch it in its tail. Understood?", said Johnny.
"Yes, sir!"

[Latias10]

Latias: Thanks, but if you liked the story, you’ll love where this adventure’ll go next ^_^ Oh, and no worries about the not Rping thing. Thanks for being patient with the story part of this adventure. It’ll pick up the pace quite soon ^_^ And just so you know, this story is tied pretty heavily into the adventure I’m planning for you, but I don’t have all the details completely worked out, so if something later doesn’t match up, it’s just cause I changed it a little.

“This story now takes us to a place called Moundreyn, which is now known as Fizzytopia. By now, humans had started to be chosen as the next Celestial Guardians, the Pokemon that they caught often being the same type as their element. I believe this is how the idea for type-themed gyms came about, with the badges being similar to the Sacred Jewels. That of course has not been scientifically proven, it’s just my theory. Anyway, Milos Streamer was one of the Celestial Guardians, in this case the Celestial Guardian of Water. He was also the leader of the Guardians. The Guardians were the rulers of the land, as only those chosen by the Jewles themselves were considered worthy to rule. They lived in the Palce of Stars, in the town known as Drayus. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to them, Chaos’ power was growing. More and more evil was spreading, and the Sacred Jewels could only keep it at bay, not defeat it. Eventually, one person, corrupted by greed, heard the legends and decided to seek out the Tome of Demise to further his material desires. He eventually succeeded, and as he entered the chamber where the Tome lay, an evil wind blew, though that was not possible in a cavern, and flipped the book open and turned many pages until it stopped on one. Unfortunately, Chaos’ magic had amplified the man’s lusts and desires, and he thought of nothing but reading the book. He did so, and something happened. Legends say that it was a sort of ripple, a wave of evil that spread from this man, darkening the hearts of many. This is because the spell that this man had read had invoked a magic that allowed a small portion of Chaos to enter this world, which possessed the person who had read the spell. Fortunately, Chaos had very little power in this form, but he did have enough to take control over about a hundred of those Pokemon and humans whose hearts he had darkened. With them he formed an army and stormed Drayus. The city was defended by those whose hearts remained good. Because light Pokemon were most connected to Hope, Chaos attacked them first. Because of this, it is believed that those that survived escaped from Moundreyn and never returned, which explains why we have never heard of them besides in ancient legends. However, Chaos did not focus on the city. He merely plowed through it to reach the Palace of Stars. Fortunately, the Celestial Guardians had barricaded themselves in the central chamber of the palace, where they recited an ancient spell of their own using the Sacred Jewels, invoking the good magic of Hope, one only to use in the direst of measures. The magic was extremely powerful, and in a flash of light, the Palace of Stars was gone, leaving only the army of evil, transfigured into statues that as soon as the first light of dawn fell upon them. The magic changed much of the continent and as well, causing land formations and other things to appear or disappear. It is believed that happened because the twelve Jewels each was hidden in a different place on Moundreyn, so evil could never find them, and the changes were made to house them each. Unfortunately, with the Sacred Jewels no longer ruling, Chaos’ power spread. It has been engulfing the world for years, and I fear that it will soon consume all,” Laura sighed. “I have tried to find the resting places of the Sacred Jewles, but I fear that the spread of Chaos’ power has made them deteriorate and that the Jewles have been lost in the sands of time. But I hope that this statue will help us find them.” She looks at the statue and sighs one last time, then turns to you and smiles. “I am in your debt for finding this. It is quite late, so I insist that you stay here tonight and we can discuss the res in the morning.” What will you say?

Catherine stared at the cialing as she thought about what Laura had just said. It was so interesting and she really enjoyed it. She then decided that she wished to help all she could offer to Laura. She really believed it although she had some doubt. She knew that this was an importan matter and also would be fun to participate in although as with most things probably dangerous. Catherine lowered her eyes from their spot on the cialing and let them met up with Laura's.

"Yes it is late and I have had a tiring day so rest will be nice," Catherine said as she stood up. She streched after sitting for some time. "Oh also I will be willing to lend my assitance in anyway posibable. So if you need me feel free to ask," she added. She then quietly waited seeing if Laura had any more to say before she rested.

The following are all re-posts!

~*CB*~

The men laugh loudly, looking at each other. The one on the right, who has a moustache, looks down at you. "Fight for its freedom...my boy...that delightful little Shadow Pokémon is his Phanpy. He desired a stronger monster, and that is what he got." they both laugh again. "I...I didn't mean it like this!" Sam begins to cry again. This only makes the men laugh harder, and the one on the left, who is bald, pulls a machine from the inside of his coat. "You don't want it? Fine, we'll take it!" The machine launches a weird Pokéball at the Phanpy, and it is immediatly sucked inside. The man grabs it, pockets it, and both the men turn to walk away. Sam just cries harder, unable to do anything about this. You yell out for them to stop, and they turn around slowly. "You want to get this boy's Pokémon back? You don't have a chance. Stantler, go!" The elk-esque Pokémon is released in a flash of light, pawing the ground, scuffing it up. The other man grabs a ball from his belt, and with a cry of "Croconaw!" the water type appears, snarling. "Fight us then boy." they say in unison.

What is your decision?

Mamoru:

Kuraiyuuga smiles, nodding at your orders, before getting prepared. Spreading her legs apart, she goes DBZ style, the flame forming in between her hands. With a cry, she throws it forcefully at the forest, and the attack hits a tree, lighting it ablaze. Shinjuu follows through with his part of the plan, flapping his wings as the bag of powder at his neck starts to glow. Soon, lines of silver form inside the gust that Shinjuu is producing, growing stronger as the Silver Powder at his neck explodes open, sending the powder flying to mix with the wind.

The attack fans the flames, which crackle and leap to another tree. Smoke floats toward the cieling of the rather large room, and Kuraiyuuga and Shinjuu stay still, waiting. The flames continue to spread, more trees catching fire, and still nothing happens. Then, in an explosion of fire and wood splinters, the few trees that caught fire are methodoically destroyed as the Scyther furiously slashes at them. Buzzing forward, Shinjuu beings to swipe his claws at Scyther, keeping him busy while Kuraiyuuga once again adopts the DBZ-esque stance, electricity beginning to crackle between he hands.

Scyther and Shinjuu dance madly in the air, Scyther's scythes and Shinjuu's claws slashing mercilessly up, down, and sideways, but few hits get in. Without warning, Scyther ducks a Fury Cutter from Shinjuu, spins in mid-air, and delivers a vicious kick to Shinjuu's face which sends him flying into a tree. Kuraiyuuga grimaces at this, then launches her attack, the electrical energy pounding through the air. Scyther turns, and raises his scythes gaurdingly as he is struck. His form is outlined by the electrical energies, dealing good damage to him. Scyther lowers his blades, and glares at your Kirlia, before disappearing and reappearing right next to the now-startled Psychic-type. He deals a vicious headbutt to her stomach, causing her to bend over in pain, before flapping his wings and sending a weaker version of Shinjuu's Silver Wind into her back, sending her face first into the ground.

With a malicious laugh, the Scyther spins on the spot, seeming to disappear. Suddenly, his voice echoes throughtout the room. "Issss that the bessst you've got, trainer...?"

What will you do now?

Shinjara & Jon Jen:

Zangoose continues its mad dance, beginning to whirl madly in one spot, creating a light wind. Soon, the wind picks up speed, and without warning the two attacks that were hanging on the ceiling float down, and enter the whirling vortex that Zangoose created. He stops spinning, and you see the Poison Gas and Stun Spores clinging close to his body. The Poison travels up one arm, the Stun spores the other, until he is holding two items! He grins maliciously, and twists his arms. The two attacks amazingly become more solid than they once were, and form swords. He takes up a battle stance, a sword of Poison and a sword of Stun Spores...

Dingo, in response to this odd display, splits into two Shedinja, he doesn't have the energy for many more. He braces himself just in time, as the Zangoose charges in, swords held combat ready. Zangoose begins an intracite display of swordsmanship, the 'blades' moving up, down, and across almost faster than human eyes can follow. Dingo cries out as he is struck, his double vanishing, but continues to brace against the attacks, not allowing himself to faint. All this time, Rini has been sitting back, before finally Yawning, small pink bubbles drifting across, hitting the Zangoose, but he shows no signs of backing off. Rini realizes that if she doesn't do something soon, Dingo would fall. She begins concentrating heavily, lights beginning to shine somewhere on her body, before a line of pure energy zooms from her open mouth, going through Dingo and planting itself squarly on Zangoose's chest.

Rini grins, knowing what's coming next. She gives an almighty cry, and something flashes down the line, growing brighter and brighter with each inch, before striking Dingo. Dingo shudders, but the light doesn't stop there. It slams into Zangoose, making him pause mid-strike. He shakes, not expecting this sudden move. He tries to strike once more, but his muscles give out on him, and he sinks to one knee. His strength drained by the thoughtfulness of Rini, who knew that she could also transfer energy to Dingo, he glares upwards at the slightly re-energized bug. He struggles to try and get to his feet, but his energy is draining quickly, and he collapses onto both knees. Too caught up in this strange display, neither of you notice the Grunt rushing towards you, gun raised...

"ZTOP RIGHT THERE, YOU RUFFIAN!" The Frenchman yells out. Standing next to him is a tired looking Blastoise, and a Togetic, who smiles at the two of you. The Grunt ignores him, and the Frenchman mumbles. Togetic gives a cry, and starts to glow. Soon, its eyes follow suit, and the man is surrounded in a hellish purple colour. With a cry, the gun flies from his hand, skidding into the cave you exited earlier. Togetic's eyes flash, and the man is thrown forcefully into the chairs, creating one hell of a noise, knocking him clear out. Togetic stops glowing, and stares at the Zangoose.

"You two 'ave done well zo far...I thank you both for your wonderful 'elp." The Frenchman says, also looking at the Zangoose. "And, I don't think zat Rocket deserves such a fine creature. Would either of you like 'im?" He asks. "Toget, release this creature from it's...bondage...if you would." Togetic nods, glows again, and a Pokéball floats from where the man crashed. With a short "To!", the ball is crushed into dust. He does it again, and again, the Pokéballs for the Magmar, Vileplume, and Rhyhorn being crushed, after they were released from their confines. "Make your decision quickly, for we must 'urry. I fear that my Lourve is in danger." He says. He then takes on more look at the Zangoose, who is looking at the two of you...almost pleadingly.

Level Up each for Dingo and Rini!

What will you do?

Quilava Plush: (Welcome back ^^)

QP

The Koffing bellows his name in defiance of the Azumarill, floating off the ground higher. Kenji breathes in deep, and then blows out the cold wind, freezing a Water Gun in its tracks. The Azumarill is covered by a thin layer of ice, before shaking vigorously, sending small icicles and other particles of ice flying. It coughs, and rushes forward, curling into a tight ball. It bounces once on the floor, into the air, meeting Kenji head on. The Koffing grunts in pain, but is not that hurt. He spits out a Smokescreen from all the holes on his body, the smoke covering the area that Kenji and Azumarill are fighting in. "Azumarill!" The Aqua Grunt calls out. "Use your Swift!"

You wait, as Kenji enters the smokey field, and hear whistling as the Swift flies from every direction in the smoke, small multicoloured stars flying past your face, over your head, between your legs. Each time is a near miss, and finally, wit ha cry, the stars stop. A sick-sounding gloop is heard, and the smoke begins to clear. When it does clear, Kenji is floating above a fainted Azumarill covered in gross Sludge. "NO!" The Aqua yells, returing his Pokémon. Kenji grins, and floats happily next to you, as the Wartortle flies past the Aquan in front of you, creating a huge crack in the wall. The Aqua members run from the fight, back into the passageway they came from.

Maxie looks to you, and sees Kenji is unharmed. "Nice battling." He says to you, picking up a flashlight a Grunt dropped. He grabs another, handing it to you. "Well, shall we continue?" he asks, indicating the darkened passageway. "I must warn you though, it'll be dangerous down there. I won't force you to come with me." He says.

Your response?

Now, for the new arrivals!

~~~~~

MetalGardevioir:

A sunny day greets your entrance to Fizzytopia. Stepping off the ferry, you look at a map, and decide to head for the Village of the Intado, which lies deep in the woods of Fizzytopia. The going is easy, until you actually reach the woods. The trail to the Village has long since been destroyed, worn away, whatever. You only have a best guess, and that might not even be good enough. Picking your way through the jungle, you hear cries of feral Pokemon echo throughout the forest; screeches, roars, and grunts come from every direction.

Your breathing quickens as you realize you're lost. You turn in circles, not knowing what to do. Every direction seems like the wrong one, and you aren't quite sure how you got to where you were. Suddenly, a glinting light catches your eye. You turn, and see a clearing in the forest, something in the middle of it evidently catching what little sunlight sneaks through the arboreal verdance. You quickly push your way through bush and bramble, emerging into the clearing, which is about 12 feet wide. The trees are still close enough together to block most of the sunlight...

Standing in the middle of the clearing, most miraculously, is an old wardrobe. It stands there, tall, proud, and certainly contrasting against the forest itself. It is made of willow, oak, roawn, ash, and many other different kinds of wood...but they all fit together like they were from the same tree. A Flareon is carved into the front, along with Rapidash, Ponyta, Tauros, and...odds things that you have no clue what they could be. The handle of the wardrobe is simple, a curved piece of metal with a Regice figure on top.

The wardrobe door suddenly bursts open, and a gust of wind flows from it, catching you by surprise. The wind is ice cold, chilling you to the bone. But...how could wind be inside a wardrobe? you think to yourself. And as suddenly as the door opened, it slams shut, making you jump. You stand there, staring at the door, wondering if it's going to open again. Minutes pass, and nothing happens.

Suddenly, a Vaporeon speeds from seemingly out of nowhere, scaring the bajeebus out of you. You fall backwards against the wardrobe, clutching your chest as your heart races much faster than you thought was possible. You let out an "AARRRGH!" of surprise, and moments later, a boy walks out of the woods, stopping right behind the Vaporeon...

~~~~~

Forever Flygon:

As you and Vaporeon stand waiting for the ferry that would take you to the Volcanic Island, where Mt. Fumi majestically stands, something makes Vaporeon snap to attention, looking back towards town. Before you can say anything, she takes off, leaving you to run after her after your initial shock wears off. Shouts to her to get back to you go unheeded, she continues speeding through the town, knocking quite a few people over. As you rush past, you yell out apologies, wondering what the hell has gotten into your Pokémon.

Vaporeon continues her mad dash, taking her to the woods. Crying out, you stumble and nearly fall over a bum lying in the street. The bum curses at you, obviously mad, but you can't stop to apologize, as Vaporeon is almost out of sight. With a growl, you kick in an extra burst of speed, entering the wood seconds behind her. You hear her paws making pattering sounds as she leaps past bush and shrub, and you follow as best you can.

You soon lose sight and sound of Vaporeon, and you feel dejected. You had only just gotten her recently, and whilst still not as fond of her as your others, you knew time would make sure you loved her. Suddenly, you hear an "AARRRGH!" of surprise, a male voice yelling. Deciding that's your best bet on finding your Vaporeon, you run towards it, wincing as a branch slices your cheek open. Sunlight catches your eye, and you turn immediatly to the right, where you see a flash of blue...

Vaporeon sits a little ways away from a young man, who fell backwards, and is leaning up against a wardrobe. He is clutching his chest, breathing hard...

~~~~~

MG & FF:

Before anything can be said, the wardrobe rumbles, and the young man in front of the wardrobe scrambles out of the way just in time, as the door opens again, sending another blast of ice cold air throughout the clearing....

And, like before, the door slams shut after a couple seconds, leaving the two of you chilled to the bone. Vaporeon crouches down, growling at the wardrobe.

What will you two do?

[JAF]

JAF:
You tell Slowpoke you next round of commands, and while she takes a moment to comprehend them, the Scyther begins to glow as it Focuses its Energy. It is then blind-sighted by Slowpoke’s Swift attack, the stars hitting their target. However, when she begins to blow an Icy Wind at Scyther, it is only hit at first before it speeds out of the way and slams into Slowpoke with a Quick Attack, causing critical damage. Slowpoke is about to switch back to another Swift attack, but the pain from the previous attack sets in, causing her to wince. The Scyther then takes that opportunity to use another Quick Attack, and the two pokemon collide as Slowpoke miraculously uses Strength at the last minute. Slowpoke is getting even more fatigued now, but luckily the Scyther is beginning to pant. However, it seems to be regaining its sight once again, though its vision is still pretty blurry. What will you do?

"You're still doing great Slowpoke, don't give up!" John shouted as he watched the Scyther attack. John started to think. 'It seems to be using speed to it's advantage, but just because Slowpoke's slow doesn't mean she can't win!' He started to think about how he could help Slowpoke conquer the much faster pokemon. "Slowpoke, use an Icy Wind all around the area at Scyther's level. If you do that, the attack's bound to hit at some time. After that, use another Flash to blind it fully, then finish off with a Swift," he ordered, and he gripped the Level Ball in his hand, hoping that he would be able to throw it at the Scyther after Slowpoke had attacked it.

[Jon Jen]

Time for a fresh batch of updates. Enjoy!


Supernerd:

Letting your curiosity lead you, you anxiously follow after the tour group. They had gone off to your right, and were a good distance away, but spotting the obnoxiously colored Hawaiian-shirt blob wasn’t too much of a challenge. You soon caught up with them, a good 15 meters away, behind them a nearby a large canvas tent. The group was marveling in front of a hole in the ground, with stairs descending into the darkness. The darkness was quickly illuminated several times by the shuttering sound of pictures being taken, and the light fled just as quickly.

Standing in front of the stairs was the tour guide from before, an oil lamp in hand. He began to speak, “These stairs lead deep into the ground, below the Sphinx itself, to a new chamber. This tomb was only recently excavated, and you, as you know, are the first civilians to see it.” he spoke passionately. His love for historical relics was apparent through his tone of speech, and the old oil lamp he held in his hand. “Now, since this new chamber is deep below the Sphinx, it is our current guess that this chamber may have been used to store vast treasures away, and the Sphinx was constructed on top of it to keep trespassers out.” the man spoke, very into his archaeological banter. He continued on for a while, boring you to no end.

After a while, you are approached by a young girl, perhaps a few years older than you. She is wearing a long frilly pale green colored dress, and a fancy hat on her head, covering the back of her long blonde hair. She has long white gloves covering most of her arms. “Hello there!” she speaks to you cheerfully. “I don’t think I remember seeing you on the tour bus…” she asks shyly. “I think I would remember you among this group…” she says, gesturing to the Hawaiian-shirted mob, listening intently to every boring detail being droned over by the tour guide. A bit taken by surprise, and not wanting to be kicked off the tour, you tell her simply that you were late, and got here on you own. She’s quite pleased with your sensible story, and says no more of it.

Interrupting the two of you is the tour guide, finally finished, who announces, “Well then, it is now time to begin the tour. If you would, please follow me.” he speaks, as he begins his descent down the stairs. “Oh dear, we’d best be going!” the girl exclaims. “By the way, my name is Loreley.” she grins, as she follows the tour guide down the steps, into the darkness, and you are quick to join them.

After quite a while of walking, the stairs finally end, and bring you to a dusty chamber, lit only faintly by the tour guide’s oil lamp. There are inscriptions in the stone wall, an old looking form of writing. The walls are by no means narrow, but it would seem like it with the crowded group. The tour guide begins speaking again.

“This is the entryway to the chamber itself. On the walls, lie glyphs left behind to warn all who enter. The glyphs simply repeat several times:”

Those who enter here are now warned.
Leave, for your own good.
No fortune awaits you here.
Only despair.

“Quite an ominous message, wouldn’t you say?” the tour guide asked, laughing at his own joke. He waited for others to laugh, but no one did. “In any case, this legend most likely served to ward away thieves.” he coughed awkwardly. “Let’s move on.” he spoke, and the group followed him further down the long hallway, until they reached a door. The tour guide opened the door, and the group walked into a wide and spacious room, this one with several fancy pillars on either side. There were also stone statues mounted on the wall, the faces worn away like most of the statue itself.

The tour guide went into his usual archaeological rant, and the tourists began flashing pictures of the new larger chamber, moving out a bit at will. No one, other than you and Loreley, really seemed to notice a pair of glimmering lights, at the middle of the opposite side of the room. The lights follow you wherever you move. “W-What do you think that is…?” she asked you nervously, pointing to the eyes across the room. “It looks like… eyes!“ she spoke, now very scared. With free access around the room, and a pair of intimidating “eyes” what will you do?


Rat:

“Um, you had a few pokeballs with you. I set them over on the table…” the young girl spoke, pointing to the table on your right. “Here, let me help you…” she says, supporting you over to the table. You quickly check, and find all of your pokeballs accounted for. The girl looks relieved when you ensure her that all of your pokeballs are here.

“Now, if you would please, drink this…” she spoke, handing the tray to you, pointing to a cup of tea, and a bowl of soup. “The tea and soup have a medicinal plant in them that should bring you back to health quickly.” she spoke. “They’re a hardy plant that grows even in the thin air and cold environment on the mountain. They should help your lungs adjust to the altitude as well.” she finished. You quickly drink from the cup of tea, and sip the soup, and start to feel a lot better already. It doesn’t taste all that bad, either!

“So, do you leave here all by yourself?” you ask the young girl. “It seems odd that someone your age would be in a place like this alone.” you ask. The girl pauses a bit before answering.

“I used to live here with Papa. Papa was a lunar researcher, and we came here so he could study. But, one day, Papa got lost, and never came back. But even then I wasn’t alone. I had Luna. But then, when Luna and I went to gather medicine, a big circle took Luna away.” the girl spoke. “I know that must sound crazy, but, I can remember… seeing a big circle… and it did something to Luna… and she went away. So now I live here alone until Papa and Luna come back.” she said. “I’ve tried to go find the big circle, but…” she stopped. “You said you saw a ‘weird sphere thing’. Do you think that could be the big circle!? Can you show me where you were?” she asked enthusiastically. What do you do?


Beco:

Your Charmeleon leaps into action, he’s been itching for a battle for quite a while, as you were talking with the odd man from before. The kitsune old lady laughs hysterically at you, as you call her into battle. Her Grimer mimics, laughing inwardly, as it spits out a flurry of Sludge, which your Chameleon dodges for the most part, only being grazed by it slightly.

Charmeleon then reacts with an Ember, spiting out light flames which singe the Grimer slightly, causing a burn that’ll stay with it for a while. The Grimer frowns a bit, and releases a cloud of Poison Gas in respite. You quickly cover your mouth, but your Charmeleon isn’t so lucky, inhaling a bit of the gas. It hacks a bit, but doesn’t look like its been poisoned by it.

The kitsune woman, who has been silent until now, aside from slight insane chuckling, now yells out, “Grimer, it’s time for another Sludge Bomb! Ahahaha!” she orderes, giggling profusely. The Grimer prepares another Sludge Bomb, and your Charemeon looks back at you for orders. What do you do?


For PsiUmbreon and Saffire Persian:


Everyone Else:

Shadow_Umbreon: (Repost)
“Well, the unlucky pokemon that have been merged are Scizor, and Nidoking,” he says grimly, and he opens the door, beckoning you to follow him through it. You do so, and he leads you along the corridor, until eventually, you reach two doors, one on either side of you. The door to your left has a sign on it which says ‘Pokemon Set 1’. You look to your right to see another sign on the other door which says ‘Pokemon Set 2; The Merged’. You both look at each other, and then you slowly walk through the door on your right. Inside, you find a lot of different chambers, all different sizes. You look at the first chamber, and you see the merged pokemon floating there in a translucent liquid. It has the body of a Nidoking, but the arms and head of a Scizor. You look at the sign underneath, and you see that it says ‘Scizoking’. Once again, you look at the man, and he is on his knees, with a look of shook on his face. “Quickly, to the other room,” he says bluntly, and he ushers you out, and through the other door. His chin seems to drop to the floor as you walk in, as you can see hundreds of pokemon in chambers all around the room. You look at some of the chambers to see such pokemon as Wailord, Ludicolo and Dodrio. Suddenly, you hear a loud beeping sound, and you turn around to see two of the chambers light up, and a sign saying ‘Success’ is glowing on the bottom. You watch as the Tauros and Camerupt’s chambers conjoin together, and the two pokemon start to get merged by the strange liquid. You look on, as the Tauros’ head becomes joined to the Camerupt’s torso, and it’s tail becomes joined to it’s behind. The Camerupts legs suddenly fall off, and are swiftly replaced by Tauros legs. The Taurupt is quickly sucked out the top of the chamber and through a large pipe, while the unused parts of both pokemon fall through a hole in the bottom of the chamber. “Oh no,” he says, “we need to start breaking these chambers open before it’s too late, come on, let’s get started.” He takes 2 pokeballs off his belt, and throws them to the ground, revealing a Jolteon and a Vaporeon. “Quickly, release some pokemon to help me break these open and free the creatures!” What will you do?

Furizaa:
Shuri nods as you give her orders, and she quickly turns around before carrying them out. She flies forward, and dodges multiple Poison Needles, before firing a Water Pulse right in Beedrill’s face. Meanwhile, Venonmoth has flown up to Butterfree, and has sent a Silver Wind right into it’s face, sending it flying into a nearby wall. You watch as it plummets downwards, and just manages to continue flying about 10cms away from the floor. It flies upwards again at an incredible speed, and Tackles Venemoth, making it fly backwards, towards you. Back at the scene of the battle, Shuri starts to make multiple clones of herself, which seems to confuse the 3 bugs, but after a few minutes they seem to figure out what’s going on. All 3 at once send a String Shot at a different Shuri, making all the clones disappear and rendering the attack useless. Shuri watches in disbelief, and she just manages to get out of the way as Venemoth comes zooming past her and uses a Psybeam on Beedrill, dealing a lot of damage to it. Feeling reassured by Venemoth’s presence, Shuri starts to conjure up an Icy Wind, and she fires it all over the place. You watch as Beautfly and Butterfree get hit, and you’re astonished to see Beedrill go into a nosedive to try and get away from it. It flies downwards, and Shuri follows it with the Icy Wind, until eventually, Beedrill changes direction, and heads straight for Venemoth. As Beedrill gets closer, Shuri has to stop the Icy Wind, so that she doesn’t hit Venemoth with it. Beedrill whacks into Venemoth with a Fury Attack, causing it slight damage to it’s wing and giving it trouble with it’s flying. You look at Shuri, and watch as she struggles to dodge multiple attacks that get fired towards her, and she looks like she’s in a bit of trouble. Suddenly, all 3 bugs dart towards Shuri, and all she can do is turn around, and wait for you to tell her what she needs to do. What will you do?

You watch as Swampert quickly fires a Mud Shot into the air, and it hits the injured Aron dead on the head. It stumbles around a bit, before finally falling on it’s back, fainted. Wasting no time, Swampert quickly fires multiple Mud-Slaps at the rest of the Aron and the Lairon, and you are surprised to see that all but one Aron dodge. The rest of them all cheer, but that soon stops when all of them are swept away to the other side of the mountain by a Surf. They all get up, and they start charging towards Swampert. The Aron run in and use a 3-way Tackle on him, while Lairon follows it up with a Double-Edge, dealing more damage than all 3 of the Tackles but together. You watch as Swampert flies back, and you see that Lairon starts wincing in pain because of the recoil damage. Swampert quickly gets back up on his feet, and slowly walks forward before roaring in anger. He summons all his power, and unleashes a huge wave of Muddy Water. The Aron look on in fear, while the Lairon does the unbelievable. It charges straight towards the Muddy Water, and dives right through it. You watch as it comes out the opposite side of the wave, and charges towards Swampert before using a Body Slam on it. Meanwhile, the Muddy Water collides with the remaining Aron, making all 3 of them faint.
“Noooo! How can this be happening! I trained my kids myself, and this is how the battle?! I’ll kill them if you come out of this victorious,” he says, and he points a huge finger at you. You watch with glee as he works himself into a fury about how poorly the majority of his kids performed in battle. Aggron starts to walk over to you, and you watch as his eyes begin to get wider. When he’s just two feet away from you, he takes a deep breath, before finally breaking the silence and saying something. “I can’t believe you’re winning. But don’t get your hopes up.” A sly smile comes over his face, and he retreats back to where he was standing. You turn around, and you see Swampert throw Lairon away as it attempts another Body Slam. What will you do?

“Thank you for agreeing to help,” Articuno says, and it starts to flutter away, beckoning you to follow. You slowly walk along side it as it struggles to stay in flight with its rather small wings. Eventually, it gives up, and perches on your shoulder. “Maybe I’ll just tell you where to go,” it says, before pointing North-East with it’s wing. You follow it’s directions for about half an hour, when you come to a canyon, probably 20 metres wide, and 20 metres deep. You’re about to release a pokemon to help you, when Articuno sends an Ice Beam at the gap, creating a bridge to the other side. You quickly hurry across, and you feel yourself being weighed down. You look at Articuno and see that it is growing at an alarming rate. It quickly hops off your shoulder when it realizes the amount of pain you must be going through. “Sorry about that, but as you can see, my species grow at an alarming rate. I will be full size by nightfall,” it explains. You watch as it starts to grow again, and it starts to get a lot bigger than you. “Quickly, climb on my back, we will take to the skies.” You do as told, and Articuno takes off. After flying for about half an hour, it finally touches down on the ground, and you look up to see a huge building, obviously the sacramental chamber. You climb off, and Articuno starts walking forward. Suddenly, 4 Squirtle step in front of you, each with a different coloured bandana. “Halt, we can’t let you pass. The only way you’ll get past us is to beat us in a battle, but that won’t happen, because…..” one of them says, and you watch as they break into song.

“Teenage mutant ninja Squirtles, teenage mutant ninja Squirtles! Heroes in a half-shell, turtle power!” The song goes on for several minutes, before they finally stop, and you stare at them in disbelief. Suddenly, all 4 of them turn around, and the fire an Ice Beam towards the entrance of the chamber. You look at Articuno, and are about to ask if it can break it, but it anticipates this, and slowly shakes it’s head. You turn your attention back to the Squirtle, and they start to laugh. “Do you think you can actually beat Pokenardo, Poketello, Pokeael, and Pokelangelo?!” they start laughing again, but they are interrupted by louder laughter coming from Articuno. “THOSE are your name?! Your ACTUAL names?!” Articuno screams, and it starts laughing again. “Let’s beat these Squirtle and make our way inside quickly,” it says to you. What will you do?

TeeHee:
As Eevee comes flying towards Sarina, she quickly puts up a Reflect shield, and Eevee bounces off it before it disappears. While the Eevee is on the floor, Sarina starts to charge forward, and does an almighty leap, jumping at least 50 metres into the air, before slamming it’s fist down on top of Eevee’s head. Happily, Sarina quickly retreats back over to you. Meanwhile, Eevee gets up groggily, and stares at Sarina in awe. The look on it’s face quickly turns to anger, and a greenish ball starts to form at it’s mouth. Sarina realises this, and starts to brace itself, when suddenly, the ball disappears, and Eevee stops in it’s tracks, after the paralysis kicks in. It slumps to the floor, and it can’t do anything when it sees Sarina flying at it from above. Sarina slams down with a Body Slam, and Eevee goes limp, before fainting. Level up for Sarina! Jeff quickly returns Eevee, and a booming voice comes from behind you.
“Congratulations to Talochi! Jeff, will you please release your next Pokemon,” the Darklax roars, happily. Jeff reluctantly takes a Pokeball of his belt, and throws it to the ground. After a flash of light, a Parasect appears in front of him. On it’s appearance, you hear a whisper behind you, and it sounds like Darklax had said ‘Oh, good choice,’ before realising he isn’t supposed to be biased and shutting up. You turn back around to see that Jeff if already giving orders. “Parasect, start off with a Poisonpowder, followed by a Leech Life, then Flash!” His Parasect nods, and turns towards Sarina with a smile on it’s face. As the spores begin to spread, Sarina looks to you for more orders. What will you do?

Blaziken77: (Repost)
Torchic immediately obeys your orders, and he starts to Growl loudly, putting off Meditite once again, and forcing it to stop Meditating. It looks over at you angrily, and then turns it’s attention towards Torchic who has already darted forward. Before Meditite can even try to move, Torchic is Scratching away at it’s face, and there’s nothing it can do about it. When Torchic has stopped attacking, Meditite gets back up onto it’s feet. It starts to concentrate, and suddenly, another purplish beam comes flying from it’s cranium, and it smashes into Torchic, making it writhe around in pain on the floor. Although Torchic was hit, it doesn’t seem to have taken as much damage from the attack as it had before. You realise that it must’ve been able to anticipate the attack, and brace himself for it, stopping quite a bit of the damage from getting him. Torchic starts to use Focus Energy, and his attack and defense immediately begin to rise. Angrily, Meditite jumps up into the air, and is about to use Confusion when Torchic uses another Growl, which puts it off. Meditite falls to the ground, and the Confusion careers off into the side of the arena, making a hole in the wall. Meditite hits the floor with a bump, and slowly gets back up, before staring at Torchic angrily, and making rude gestures with it’s fingers. You watch as Meditite taunts Torchic, and he starts to get angry. All of a sudden, you realise that Meditite has actually been using the attack, Taunt, and that it’s made Torchic so angry that he can only use offensive moves. Torchic looks back at you, with a look of utter rage on it’s face, and you stare at it for a bit, before realising you need to give it more orders. What will you do?

Lonely Wanderer:
Your teeth are about to chomp down on the arm, when suddenly, it relinquishes it’s grip, and moves out of the way just in time. You slowly turn around to see a young girl standing behind you, staring at you with a blank look on her face. You watch as she slowly walks in a circle around you, almost examining you to make sure of something. She stops in the position she was when you first saw her, and once again stares at you, blankly. “Hello there. You’re the newest person to become imprisoned in here. In fact, I can’t remember anybody else getting trapped for the past 10 years or so,” she says, before cutting off, and staring into space. “Yes, back then, many people were getting trapped here. In the olden days, people used to come to this Fairground. It was one of the most popular places in all of Fizzytopia. But now….now, it’s nothing more than a barren wasteland, plagued with all sorts of evil. And you have just witnessed the worst kind. It’s been around since this place opened, and it’s stayed here ever since. We’ve seen it come and go, and each time it traps more and more people. However, we have a plan,” she continues, and you stare at her, wondering about what this plan might be. “We plan on breaking out of the mirror, and getting back to the real world, where we belong. We shouldn’t be in here, it’s inhumane! With your help, we can show that thing who’s boss, and have it trapped back here in no time! But, we won’t be able to do it if you don’t help. Many years we have been waiting for somebody of your excellency to pass through the boundary that separates here…..and there,” she explains, before pointing back towards the outside world. You are surprised to see that Cryseye is still standing there with her captor. You turn back around to see that the girl is still looking at you. “Please,” she pleads. What will you do?

[Supernerd]

Time for a fresh batch of updates. Enjoy!


Supernerd:

Letting your curiosity lead you, you anxiously follow after the tour group. They had gone off to your right, and were a good distance away, but spotting the obnoxiously colored Hawaiian-shirt blob wasn’t too much of a challenge. You soon caught up with them, a good 15 meters away, behind them a nearby a large canvas tent. The group was marveling in front of a hole in the ground, with stairs descending into the darkness. The darkness was quickly illuminated several times by the shuttering sound of pictures being taken, and the light fled just as quickly.

Standing in front of the stairs was the tour guide from before, an oil lamp in hand. He began to speak, “These stairs lead deep into the ground, below the Sphinx itself, to a new chamber. This tomb was only recently excavated, and you, as you know, are the first civilians to see it.” he spoke passionately. His love for historical relics was apparent through his tone of speech, and the old oil lamp he held in his hand. “Now, since this new chamber is deep below the Sphinx, it is our current guess that this chamber may have been used to store vast treasures away, and the Sphinx was constructed on top of it to keep trespassers out.” the man spoke, very into his archaeological banter. He continued on for a while, boring you to no end.

After a while, you are approached by a young girl, perhaps a few years older than you. She is wearing a long frilly pale green colored dress, and a fancy hat on her head, covering the back of her long blonde hair. She has long white gloves covering most of her arms. “Hello there!” she speaks to you cheerfully. “I don’t think I remember seeing you on the tour bus…” she asks shyly. “I think I would remember you among this group…” she says, gesturing to the Hawaiian-shirted mob, listening intently to every boring detail being droned over by the tour guide. A bit taken by surprise, and not wanting to be kicked off the tour, you tell her simply that you were late, and got here on you own. She’s quite pleased with your sensible story, and says no more of it.

Interrupting the two of you is the tour guide, finally finished, who announces, “Well then, it is now time to begin the tour. If you would, please follow me.” he speaks, as he begins his descent down the stairs. “Oh dear, we’d best be going!” the girl exclaims. “By the way, my name is Loreley.” she grins, as she follows the tour guide down the steps, into the darkness, and you are quick to join them.

After quite a while of walking, the stairs finally end, and bring you to a dusty chamber, lit only faintly by the tour guide’s oil lamp. There are inscriptions in the stone wall, an old looking form of writing. The walls are by no means narrow, but it would seem like it with the crowded group. The tour guide begins speaking again.

“This is the entryway to the chamber itself. On the walls, lie glyphs left behind to warn all who enter. The glyphs simply repeat several times:”

Those who enter here are now warned.
Leave, for your own good.
No fortune awaits you here.
Only despair.

“Quite an ominous message, wouldn’t you say?” the tour guide asked, laughing at his own joke. He waited for others to laugh, but no one did. “In any case, this legend most likely served to ward away thieves.” he coughed awkwardly. “Let’s move on.” he spoke, and the group followed him further down the long hallway, until they reached a door. The tour guide opened the door, and the group walked into a wide and spacious room, this one with several fancy pillars on either side. There were also stone statues mounted on the wall, the faces worn away like most of the statue itself.

The tour guide went into his usual archaeological rant, and the tourists began flashing pictures of the new larger chamber, moving out a bit at will. No one, other than you and Loreley, really seemed to notice a pair of glimmering lights, at the middle of the opposite side of the room. The lights follow you wherever you move. “W-What do you think that is…?” she asked you nervously, pointing to the eyes across the room. “It looks like… eyes!“ she spoke, now very scared. With free access around the room, and a pair of intimidating “eyes” what will you do?

Supernerd merely smirked at the eyes, trying his hardest to hide his own nervousness behind a mask of confidence. "All right Vincent, if whatever is in those shadows make a move then start this battle out with a Strength just to show it what you're made of!" the trainer ordered, assuming that what was assumed to be a creature even had hostile intentions.

He was eager to get into a battle anyway, considering he had just gotten into the newly discovered tomb. Vincent, on command, bent its knees and raised its bone, ready for any move that its "opponent" might make.

Lonely Wanderer:
Your teeth are about to chomp down on the arm, when suddenly, it relinquishes it’s grip, and moves out of the way just in time. You slowly turn around to see a young girl standing behind you, staring at you with a blank look on her face. You watch as she slowly walks in a circle around you, almost examining you to make sure of something. She stops in the position she was when you first saw her, and once again stares at you, blankly. “Hello there. You’re the newest person to become imprisoned in here. In fact, I can’t remember anybody else getting trapped for the past 10 years or so,” she says, before cutting off, and staring into space. “Yes, back then, many people were getting trapped here. In the olden days, people used to come to this Fairground. It was one of the most popular places in all of Fizzytopia. But now….now, it’s nothing more than a barren wasteland, plagued with all sorts of evil. And you have just witnessed the worst kind. It’s been around since this place opened, and it’s stayed here ever since. We’ve seen it come and go, and each time it traps more and more people. However, we have a plan,” she continues, and you stare at her, wondering about what this plan might be. “We plan on breaking out of the mirror, and getting back to the real world, where we belong. We shouldn’t be in here, it’s inhumane! With your help, we can show that thing who’s boss, and have it trapped back here in no time! But, we won’t be able to do it if you don’t help. Many years we have been waiting for somebody of your excellency to pass through the boundary that separates here…..and there,” she explains, before pointing back towards the outside world. You are surprised to see that Cryseye is still standing there with her captor. You turn back around to see that the girl is still looking at you. “Please,” she pleads. What will you do?

Just when Andrea's teeth was about to taste flesh and blood, it moved out of the way, letting go of Andrea's hand in the process. Slightly baffled by this, Andrea looked up, and she could see a young girl, probably only a couple of years younger than Andrea herself, standing right there, showing a blank look. Andrea stood still as she saw the girl slowly move around her, making a circle in able to survey Andrea completely. Once the girl stopped, she started speaking to Andrea, and Andrea listened silently as the girl spoke.

“Hello there. You’re the newest person to become imprisoned in here. In fact, I can’t remember anybody else getting trapped for the past 10 years or so. Yes, back then, many people were getting trapped here. In the olden days, people used to come to this Fairground. It was one of the most popular places in all of Fizzytopia. But now….now, it’s nothing more than a barren wasteland, plagued with all sorts of evil. And you have just witnessed the worst kind.

Many years we have been waiting for somebody of your excellency to pass through the boundary that separates here…..and there."

With that, the girl pointed towards the mirror's direction, and Andrea whirled around to see that her little purple ghost and Andrea's reflection were still out there, the Sableye still struggling to get out of the reflection's grasp. Seeing her Pokémon struggle had the urge to break through the mirror now, but this time, Andrea resisted, looking at Cryseye with worry. She glanced back to the young girl, who had whispered a plead of "Please...". Now knowing that she wasn't the only capture of this magic and the fact that all wanted to return back into the real world, Andrea nodded to the young girl.

"I will help," She said to the girl. "I also do not wish to remain here in the darkness. Besides, my fellow friend is trapped with the spirit back in the real world, and I do not want any harm to come to her. I will aid you to get back...but I must know how can I help."

[Crystal_Espeon]

Crystal_Espeon: Catching up with Mystic you find yourself standing directly out side of the Monorail Entrance. You and Mystic stand in front of the formal door, there is a rectangular window taking up most of the top half, with a white square sign with “OPEN! 10am – 8pm” written on it in thick black letters. You grab hold of the gold shiny door handle, twisting it slightly to the right you hear a click and the door becomes lose and moveable, a few seconds pass and Mystic nudges the door slightly. You both walk through the door not knowing what to expect. You enter a dimly lit room, with a small yet stable desk in the right corner of them room, also next to a door leading out to the monorail platform, you look around slowly and realise the room is void of any human activity. You look over at the other side of them room acknowledging three chairs and a withering plant, after a few more moments of silence between you and Mystic you decide to head toward the other door next to the desk.

After walking through the door with Mystic you look in both directions and notice a monorail track running across the ground in front of you. The ground lightly shakes, while in the background you hear a loud rumble. You stand frozen as a large shiny silver metallic looking train zooms its way round the corner toward you. The train stops directly in front of you, the door whooshes open and you enter the cautiously, the train is long with windows next to every seat, the seats are neatly arranged in sets of two on one side and then two on the other side, making four in a square shape with a big window next to them and a table in the centre of the square. You spin around away from the sitting area; you find yourself staring at a door with the word “Drivers Room Private!” on the door, so you decide to just sit with Mystic and wait for your stop at the Dead Forest.

Moment’s pass, minutes slip into hours as you watch the scenery change and fade into the background of the area you were just in. The train comes to a sudden halt; you rise from your seat and then exit the train with still no sign of the driver. The train zooms away leaving you alone on the platform with only Mystic for any kind of comfort. You leave the almost identical monorail station and find yourself in a dense forest, of little sunlight and thickly leaved trees. Some poisonous gunk oozes out of the tree and starts winding its way down toward the soft yet leaf filled grass. You look around and notice the many different directions you could go in, left, right, north, east, west and many more. What will you do now?

Enjoy.

Poison...

Not a good sign for Rei as she looks completely pale. A dead forest was one thing, but that was another. She could had fainted right on the spot, but a certain Trapinch urged her on, shocking her back to her senses.

"The faster we walk is the faster we get out of this part of the forest." Mystic's word hit like a ton of bricks. And it had made as much sense as it was gonna get.

Seconds compare to hours, minutes compare to days in the Dead Forest. And just standing there a second longer would drive Rei insane.

"So walk, gosh darn it! I don't need you to faint on me..." Said the Trapinch, Mystic. She already made a good six yards north, away from the trainer and is now yelling back. None could see the greenery of the grass, as it's sure to be withered beneath the cover of fallen leaves so soft. "Oh yeah, and don't touch or even look at the trees. That'd make things worse for ya."

"..." She walked toward the ant pit pokemon, as an inaudible mumbling came through her lips. "Don't remind me...."

[quilava plush]

QP

The Koffing bellows his name in defiance of the Azumarill, floating off the ground higher. Kenji breathes in deep, and then blows out the cold wind, freezing a Water Gun in its tracks. The Azumarill is covered by a thin layer of ice, before shaking vigorously, sending small icicles and other particles of ice flying. It coughs, and rushes forward, curling into a tight ball. It bounces once on the floor, into the air, meeting Kenji head on. The Koffing grunts in pain, but is not that hurt. He spits out a Smokescreen from all the holes on his body, the smoke covering the area that Kenji and Azumarill are fighting in. "Azumarill!" The Aqua Grunt calls out. "Use your Swift!"

You wait, as Kenji enters the smokey field, and hear whistling as the Swift flies from every direction in the smoke, small multicoloured stars flying past your face, over your head, between your legs. Each time is a near miss, and finally, wit ha cry, the stars stop. A sick-sounding gloop is heard, and the smoke begins to clear. When it does clear, Kenji is floating above a fainted Azumarill covered in gross Sludge. "NO!" The Aqua yells, returing his Pokémon. Kenji grins, and floats happily next to you, as the Wartortle flies past the Aquan in front of you, creating a huge crack in the wall. The Aqua members run from the fight, back into the passageway they came from.

Maxie looks to you, and sees Kenji is unharmed. "Nice battling." He says to you, picking up a flashlight a Grunt dropped. He grabs another, handing it to you. "Well, shall we continue?" he asks, indicating the darkened passageway. "I must warn you though, it'll be dangerous down there. I won't force you to come with me." He says.

Your response?

Rivka tilts her head to the side, an amused expression on her face being displayed as the Koffing did his dirty work. As the Smokescreen clears and Kenji arrives at her side, she pats the ball of gas and congratulates him as Maxie walks over and explains the situation. She lets out a small sigh and accepts the flashlight, looking at it for a moment before she walks over.

"I see... I'd let my Nuzleaf take care of things since he can use Flash, but i'd rather play it safe and let him recuperate for a bit longer," Rivka lets out a small cough, then continues with a more grim expression growing on her face. "I got this far, so nothing's stopping me from going in there. I'm ready for anythin'."

[Rat]

Rat:

“Um, you had a few pokeballs with you. I set them over on the table…” the young girl spoke, pointing to the table on your right. “Here, let me help you…” she says, supporting you over to the table. You quickly check, and find all of your pokeballs accounted for. The girl looks relieved when you ensure her that all of your pokeballs are here.

“Now, if you would please, drink this…” she spoke, handing the tray to you, pointing to a cup of tea, and a bowl of soup. “The tea and soup have a medicinal plant in them that should bring you back to health quickly.” she spoke. “They’re a hardy plant that grows even in the thin air and cold environment on the mountain. They should help your lungs adjust to the altitude as well.” she finished. You quickly drink from the cup of tea, and sip the soup, and start to feel a lot better already. It doesn’t taste all that bad, either!

“So, do you leave here all by yourself?” you ask the young girl. “It seems odd that someone your age would be in a place like this alone.” you ask. The girl pauses a bit before answering.

“I used to live here with Papa. Papa was a lunar researcher, and we came here so he could study. But, one day, Papa got lost, and never came back. But even then I wasn’t alone. I had Luna. But then, when Luna and I went to gather medicine, a big circle took Luna away.” the girl spoke. “I know that must sound crazy, but, I can remember… seeing a big circle… and it did something to Luna… and she went away. So now I live here alone until Papa and Luna come back.” she said. “I’ve tried to go find the big circle, but…” she stopped. “You said you saw a ‘weird sphere thing’. Do you think that could be the big circle!? Can you show me where you were?” she asked enthusiastically. What do you do?

Rat did indeed remember the circle, but she was so lost by the time she saw it that she had no earthly idea where she could have been.

"I wish I could tell you," Rat said before lifting the bowl to her lips and quickly drinking the rest of the soup. She wiped her mouth and added, "All I know is that I was fairly high up here... d'you know exactly where on the mountain this cabin is? Maybe if I can find my exact location, I can find that circle thing again."

Rat immediately reacehd for her Poke Balls while waiting for the girl to respond, and released her party onto the cabin floor, making sure they were all present and unharmed. Her Poochyena looked no worse for the wear, and was sniffing rather inquisitively at the table where the soup bowl and tea cup were. She set the tray on the floor so they could all lick, gulp, or siphon out the remains, and sat watching them contentedly.

"I'll be takin' Lady with me again, when we go," she told the girl with a quick glance. "She should come in handy."

~UPDATES~

~Skywing Knight Joshua~: Tropius looks surprised at your request, but squawks happily in response. Tropius kneels down, and allows you and Beau to climb on. Tropius jumps skyward, and soars around in the free air. Wind blasts across your face, making your eyes water. You holler in excitement as Tropius does a grand loop in the sky. Beau seems rather frightened at first, but quickly becomes accustomed. Soon both of you are enjoying yourselves vastly as Tropius performs a number of amazing aerial maneuvers. Other Pokémon flutter alongside you, sometimes in large numbers, to enjoy your company. The wildlife up here must not fear intruders. Then, suddenly, as Tropius carries you both in a wild spiral upwards, two rocket-fast shapes dart past you, barely avoiding a collision. Tropius spins dizzily, and almost throws you off its back. Shaking its head, Tropius stares around for the attackers. Then, again, two forms whiz by. You can't even see how large or small they are. Then, one flies extremely close to your ear - air whistles as the wings of the thing zip by - and then makes a huge U-turn and slams into Tropius. In the brief moment when the thing is still, you can see that it is a Ninjask. The cicada blinks a few times, and then it disappears once more, too fast to see once again. You can only assume its companion is a second Ninjask. Evidently, you are intruding in their territory. What are you going to do?

Sai: As soon as you enter, you can tell that the temperature has dropped. No wonder Pinsir had escaped; Pinsirs hate cold weather. Soon gooseflesh creeps up your arms. A prickling sensation shudders across your neck, and you wonder if the gooseflesh is caused by the cold, or if something may be watching. You proceed warily, only too aware of the fact that some of the trees have frozen to death. Suddenly, an enormous branch ahead snaps and falls. A brown mass crashes down as well, and a dull cry tells you that it's a living being. You look around, wondering what to do. The forest is still and dense on either side of you. Slowly, the dust floats away, and you see the creature in full view. It's a Pinsir, but it looks awful. Frost coats its thick, sepia skin, and its eyes are staring blankly up at you. A feeble call escapes from its tightly clenched teeth. Other Pinsir crawl and drag themselves from behind trees. They move alarmingly slowly, some of them too weak to even come to aid their friend. As you stare in horror at the diminished bugs, one makes it close enough to comfort the fallen one. The fallen Pinsir just shudders, and lies still, chest moving shallowly up and down. Amne peeps tentatively from inside its shell, watching the dying stag beetles. Clearly, there is something wrong with this forest, but the Pinsir colony needs you assistance more than the forest right now. None of them seem able to fight off the cold for much longer. What will you do?

umbreon11: Tera glows brilliantly at your word, the golden aura lighting up the cave. Octillery sltihers in front of her, and begins firing a plethora of moves at the two opponents to prevent them from interrupting Tera's charging. Banette is sent flying backwards with a well-placed Octazooka. Golbat, though, soars high above, adroitly evading the projectiles. Golbat weaves its way between the moves and toward Octillery. Golbat spins madly in an Air Cutter and sends Octillery slamming into the cave wall. Octillery lies there, unable to continue battling. Appalled, Tera wails, and jets off after the bat. Golbat squeals in fear, and begins darting around the cave, Tera's fiery shape chasing all the while. Then, as Golbat makes a wide arc around the back, Tera soars in a horizontal line, and collides with Golbat at a right angle. Golbat is sent spiralling into the cave wall, and falls the the floor. Level Up for Tera! But, as Tera lands, Banette launches a swirling Shadow Ball in her direction. Tera cries out, and jumps into the air just as the ball of blackness explodes violently on the floor. Tera is glaring down at Banette now, who returns the gaze angrily. What will you do now?

Goin' Graveler: "Alright," you reply shortly. "Thanks," the man says, and jumps overboard. You reach down and grab the weed, and struggle with it, trying to get it dislodged. The man uses a metal bar to pry it loose. You can see bubbles stream from his mouth every now and then. Eventually, you shake it loose, and the clump drifts lazily back to the ocean floor. The man breaks the surface, and gasps down air. Burhsing back his black hair, he climbs aboard, and not a second too soon. A cluster of tentacles scrabble insanely at the boat, trying to reach him. The man cries out as his foot narrowly passes away from the tentacled thing. As you both look over, you find three Tentacruel gazing up at you. The heads retreat, and the three Pokémon swim away. Without wasting any time, the man starts the motor, and the boat shoots forward a few yards to the shore. You grab the Shuckles one by one, until all nine are on the shore. The Shuckle cry out happily, and roll along the beach in formation. You watch them play around for a while, glad to have helped them. Then, suddenly, the sand disappears beneath the first Shuckle, and they tumble down into a pit! You watch in shock as the other Shuckles fall victims to the sinkhole as well, and soon all of them have disappeared into a funnel shape. You dash over, and find a Trapinch eyeing you steadily from the bottom. So the Shuckle had frolicked right into a trap! You don't know how to get the Trapinch to move to come to the Shuckle's aid(again). Maybe a battle would get it to shift away?

Dark Fire: You ride back quickly to the station. Luckily, it's not very far away, so it's a short ride. When you arrive, Magnemite is still lying on the floor, and Ventus appears bored with watching the obviously helpless Pokémon. Ignoring that for the time being, you rush back to the computer and look up the green Dusclops. Evidently, there is little information on this one. But what you see amazes you. This Dusclops can travel across dimensions! If it is under threat, it can merely escape to a separate dimension. The computer tells you that it generally prefers other dimensions, and only returns to this one if its comrades, the Magnemite and Chimecho, are both defeated. As you read this, a scared feeling creeps up your spine. You glance around warily, looking for any signs of the dimension-traveler. Then, quite suddenly, a thick hand reaches out of thin air and grabs you around the middle. A second one grabs Zodiac. Zodiac bellows frantically, and paws at the ground. You scream as well, and try to free yourself. You are drawn helplessly backwards, and suddenly the world swims before you. Colors bleed and combine, and new shapes are formed. As your eyes try to take in all that is happening, the hand releases you. You fall down, and stand up shakily. You look around, and realize that Zodiac is nowhere nearby. For that matter, there doesn't seem to be a trace of live anywhere! All you can see is blackness, where there is no light. Suddenly, a the earth shakes madly, and a billowing red shape bursts from the ground in front of you. Red liquid seems to be spiralling up the horn-shaped object along its sides. The red horn emits a curious, luminous glow that lights up the world around you. Disembodied shadows crawl along the ground. Every now and then, a strange shape jumps from the earth and then plunges back in as though it were water. And all the while, the tilted horn glows in front of you. You have no idea what to do, or where you are, even. What will you do now?

Then, one flies extremely close to your ear - air whistles as the wings of the thing zip by - and then makes a huge U-turn and slams into Tropius. In the brief moment when the thing is still, you can see that it is a Ninjask. The cicada blinks a few times, and then it disappears once more, too fast to see once again. You can only assume its companion is a second Ninjask. Evidently, you are intruding in their territory. What are you going to do?

Joshua winces as the Ninjask slammed into Tropius, and the two whizzing blurs continuing to circle around Tropius. With a powerful back-flip, he leapt off Tropius' back, and a stream of red light formed the majestic creature that was Hayley, his Flygon.

She grunted slightly as he landed on her back, and Beau flew from Tropius' back over to them. "Tropius, don't worry. We'll protect you."

"Beau, you take one of them. Use your Swords Dance to boost your power, then speed after one of them with Quick Attack. Smite it with Metal Claw when you strike it!"

Joshua sat down on Hayley, and wrapped his arms around her neck. "Let's show em what you can do. Find the second Ninjask, and blast it with Icy Wind. Then fry it with Flamethrower! Finally, grab its crispy shell and hurl it to the ground with your Strength!
