Murderhobo Edition
>What is this? "The Mystery Dungeons 2e" is a text-based role-playing game created to expand on the setting created by the spinoff series, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. This has no story relation to the first quest, and is its own new story. Players still isekai themselves into the world and become Pokémon, going on adventures with their newfound guild mates! SFW ONLY

This isn't a winning battle.
She glances at the Alakazam. Psychics WOULD be the ones doing fucked up things to a dream, huh?
Matchia drags herself closer to the VoL.

>>6016923 >>6016974 >HP: 20/27 Fortunately for Wallis, she has Special Defense to weaken the blow. Less fortunately, she is still unable to lend aid. Said aid would likely be quite helpful, such as Surf to damage all foes. Instead, she is forced to work with what little she has to do. Wallis tries to dull her emotions to blend in more. She can't even exhale, or de-tensify her stiff self. However, she is able to cease her exertion, effectively taking a Break while she remains at the Voice of Life's side.

Given your apparent protection of us, I... have decided to trust you on this." Cubone is aware that a bit of suspicion is warranted involving the Gardevoir, but with the way things are shaping up recently, he's decided it's best to return the rescuing favour. Furthermore, his allies (but miraculously not Cubone himself) are being besieged by a group more closely described as a small army than a gathering. The way forward seems clear to him, and it's not here. No more time to waste!
"...Very well. We ought to make haste to the stream, then." With perhaps a slightly reckless calm for the situation at hand, Cubone gets going while the going's good for him.

His yellow eyes are darting all around him. There's 1 2 3- 5- 7- 10- 11 hostiles- too many threats- what he do?! He needs to extract- escapte- get away---
Spike scrapes where the ground trying to distance himself from the Crobat, but as his eyes fling side to side wildly he sees the Alakazam tearing through Brook's shield.
"HEY! HEY BACK OFF! LET HIM GO!" Spike snarls, regaining his footing and bounding towards the Alakazam.
His attacks are not strong enough to challenge an Alakazam- Especially if they're the own tracing the dream. . . But he can stun it.
>Hex Maniac + Telepath + Phantasm 3 Spike reaches deep into his mind, focusing his thoughts towards the psychic type and connecting them to something beyond himself. Something that gnaws at his subconsciously constantly, something that perhaps in this space within the mind and through a ghostly vessel will overwhelm the Alakazam's mind.
The Flow. All of the esoteric knowledge that gnaws at his sanity.

Espurr is greatly moved by this idea, it makes their fur stand on-end like it's some grand revelation. To them, it is. How do they tell who is special and who is not?
>>6016974 Espurr succeeds in evading danger for now, thanks to Mohka's hardened scales. All things considered, the dragon might not be the greatest place to linger considering his dwindling health. They look to their
>>6016999 retreating allies and
>>6016984 remaining teammates and wonder how much longer they stand to last.
That item, whatever it is, that the Alakazam possesses. It seems... useful.

Sagira stumbles back from getting struck by the assault, first by the burst of water, and then by being directly slammed into by the weight of a speeding magma snail.
Despite whatever force keeping her form cohesive appearing to waver, she remains steadfast.
>>6017024 She doesn't even blink in the face of being thrown and hurtling through the air at the Gardevoir. It looks like she's hoping to manipulate some of the arcane and the shadows by cutting the little connections stringing it all together.
"In the realm of thoughts and dreams, in the plane above that is beholden to the soul, let the Light wash over you."
Sagira used Flame Charge on the shadow tails!
>Pyromancy III VoL

It seems the Gardevoir's connection to you enables a glimpse into what you're feeling. both she and Alakazam go wide-eyed for a moment, exposed to the overwhelming sensitivity to nature...before nothing happens. Alakazam's Apathy Tie dissipates your phantasmal projection, only long enough for his readied attack to be cut off by Brook's Sucker Punch...the Pokemon fades away, leaving the Tie between the two of you. That diversion's failure is disappointing, but you've learned something quite useful about it...
Meanwhile, 22 damage is enough to KO Rhyperior. Order unblocks the path to VoL...should any of the battlers want it.
Espurr regenerates an Oran Leaf, while Mohka narrowly whiffs another attack. The first emote from any of these Pokemon, Sneasel holds a claw to its mouth, basking in your struggle to hit it. it looks...giddy.
Before Spike can be terrorized any further, Crobat is felled by a Dragon Pulse from Sail! It disappears with a frustrated screech...
Sagira's position and margins of success are helped by Kaz's toss...only for the tackle to carry too much momentum and crash straight into Gardevoir. She rolls back a few feet, gasping upon landing. Wherever she is, it looks like she's now compromised...! She covers her mouth and you can see her sprinting, though you don't have any reference to tell how close she is to any hazard or Pokemon.
Moreover, all of the enemy combatants take 10 damage, softening the pressure against all of you.
Sneasel takes a moment to let Mohka reflect on his predicament before moving to finish him...only to be interrupted by an instant jump to safety in front of VoL with Matchia and Katherine. Skitty's taken his place between Espurr and Sneasel...
>>6016999 >>6016987 >>6016993 Cubone rouses at the Shore Thing, finding everyone asleep. The only activity to be heard is from Evan awakening Ishmael a few rooms over with a mantra...the three of you are safe now.
For two turns fighting, Ishmael awakes with 40 points of bonus experience.
For two turns in the Voice of Life's proximity, Cubone gets 30 IQ.
Five more assailants enter the battle, these a little weaker than the last...
Houndoom.
Honchkrow.
A second Crobat?
Gyarados.
Weavile.
ENEMY TURN 3
VoL
Rolled 1 (1d2) Gengar slides through his own shade under Skitty to Lick Espurr. That's 12 damage... Sneasel's Ice Punch lands upon Skitty instead of Mohka. 13 damage! Feraligatr's Ice Punch cracks Kaz for 14 Damage! Arbok misses a Glare into Matchia... Magcargo's second Rollout hits Kaz for 5 damage... Magmortar targets Orner again with another Flamethrower! 12 damage! Aggron follows up with a second Head Smash, ramming into Orner for 13 Damage! Mismagius continues feasting on Wallis's consciousness, settling into sitting on her shoulders while dream eater deals 10 more damage. She heals for 3... Houndoom lands a Night Slash Against Wallis, for another 9 damage... Honchkrow retaliates against Sagira with a Drill Peck for 11 Damage. The replacement Crobat looks o have a slightly different temperament...And yet it aims squarely for Spike's chest with a third Cross Poison anyway. 12 damage, another critical hit! This has to be intentional, no? Its gaze is fixed on Spike unwaveringly... Gyarados uses Ice Fang! Skitty is struck for 7 Damage. Weavile's gaze is fixed on Kaz and Sagira in particular...it uses Dark Pulse on Sagira for 10 Damage... That Crobat has an item, a...Psychic Gem? Gardevoir wipes her cheek, speaking without slowing down her movement. "They hunger for your suffering, little ones. They will not cease as long as they have an opening to reach you-get away safely...for your sakes. Strike me again or break our connection-!" She crouches and looks behind herself between whisper-pleads. It seems that accidental exposure to her pursuers doesn't have her at all upset or out of sorts...? PLAYER TURN 3 ...You get the feeling more enemies won't stop coming.

Espurr has a flash of unknown emotion the moment before they fall to the ground from a spectral attack which stops their heart and makes their entire body freeze up for a second. Could they have avoided this, or was it yet another pointless cosmic accident? Some help this Voice of Life has been.

Wallis and Matchia prepare themselves for the coming onslaught. Fortunately, only one enemy is coming this turn, but...
12 damage! That's a KO against the weaker reinforcement!
>>6017149 >>6017165 Spike is rejuvenated with enough energy to make his escape!...Only for Brook to find himself exposed after committing to the help. Severing the connection to VoL takes just a moment longer than he anticipated...an action's worth. How unfortunate.
Wave four, it's...just a Butterfree.

>>6017215 Skitty whisks away in silence, only marked by the displacement of dream 'air'.
Gengar Licks again...only into Matchia's braced arms ineffectually.
His attack is followed up by a Feint from Weavile. 3 damage, the first strike of many...
Feraligatr lunges for Brook with Crunch, dealing 10 Damage.
He's spat out into the path of Magcargo's third Rollout for 13 damage and Arbok's Glare, while Magmortar uses flamethrower for another 12.
Aggron misses a Head Smash follow-up, while Mismagius continues to drape herself over Wallis. She's cradled and drained on contact over the back and cheek with Dream Eater while the Pokemon dances over her. The remaining dark types fall upon her with Night Slashes for a total of 28 Damage...
While Gyarados and Crobat both swarm Matchia with constricting Aqua Tails and a third critical Cross Poison for 10 and 15 damage.
Butterfree sweeps up Katherine in a Hurricane for 22 damage.

Matchia laments the fact that she couldn't hold on for a tiny bit. She almost had it.

>>6017239 Matchia's experience against the numbers has made her slightly better as a fighter.
She even gets +1 HP at this level, which would've been useful. She'll try not to go down next time.
She scowls a bit, as the uncomfortable feeling annoys her.

>Strangely the fangs hurt far less than they probably should, the feeling he has as the teeth bite down...dark.... >he doesn't have long to think about this though, as when he lands on his feet he's immediately struck by a spinning intently hot shell that flings him through the air (1 HP)
>with his body steaming from the attack he manages to struggle and just barely get back to his feet >though before he could manage to even think about escaping he locks eyes with a snake completely freezing him in place >here he is lying weak and vulnerable with a predator staring him down ready to finish off their prey...though (un)luckily for him just as said snake would begin to slither over to deal the final blow a sudden intense heat that only just passes over his rear makes him jump straight into the air and over a charging steel dinosaur >.....when he lands in a completely beaten up heap, his body slowly turns to ash completely defeated Wallis Lv. 15 Marshtomp (Clover Force)

>>6017233 >>6017230 >-2/27HP Wallis fallis, her Brace barely failing her. In spite of this, she remains unmoving as her form fades. She wakes up deeply unnerved and screaming from the night terror, but she's alive. Her displeasure for this Voice of Life grows with the HP she lost, as well as an Oran Berry.

Brook and Matchia receive 60 bonus exp.
Wallis wakes up with 45 IQ!
Skitty awakens with 15 IQ and 20 exp!
>>6017242 >>6017237 KATHERINE/SAIL TURN?
>So, about that life advice? >Battle the 13 marauders alone! >I'm outta here! Sail awakens, and much like Orner with the Slacker Band and Brook with the Apathy tie, he finds a new item in his inventory...and 60 exp.
>>6017242 The Gardevoir waits for a few moments to mount her response. Her eyes tighten at the question. "The forces looking to silence myself and the Heart are more than a single Pokemon can best. Even a true patron like the Clergy's could fall without support..." She shakes her head, laying down flat again, returning to a whisper. "I...cannot be alone in this battle any longer. I don't want to be alone any longer. If my utmost need is to protect you humans, then..........yes, I am no 'dream lady' or guardian...I am sorry. But you must see the truth. Live, so you can make your own judgments." The Voice of Life reaches out to Katherine, granting her 60 IQ.
Perhaps you can buy a skill to soften the impact of thirteen separate entities swarming you with ceaseless, indiscernible attacks overwhelming you from all sides.
Katherine wakes up, enervated for -6 Special Defense on the next two outings.
To all participants, feel lucky it's only a dream. Or unease, that a mere dream could affect your constitution so tangibly. Everyone, whether you spoke or battled, take 25 experience for your adventures tonight.
next time (chronologically), it's to the Swalot's Stream.

>>6017196 When Espurr wakes, there's a ringing in their ears and a faint but persistent headache. It's not too similar to the ones they usually get, and despite their soreness from thrashing around in their sleep, they still have a distinct lack of disorienting mental static occupying their mind. Do they feel... better... now that they've been debilitated?
...They'll have to meditate on it. Strangely, meditating doesn't feel all too appealing to them right now.
