Rolled 7 (1d8) When we last left off, the (unnamed) gang hadembarked on an expedition to Glum Grove, a once homey ashy wasteland to check on some wild Pokemon. They'd been found quickly, albeit with a mysterious asassin to boot...
Examination Moderato 2007 - Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdcBGCdyVoY&t The unseen assailant won't attack if you're watching out, but will move as soon as you try to do...anything. The Froakie, Ludicolo, and Buizel you're helping are looking abnormally sensitive to the state of their rescue, so it may behoove you not to upset them too much. That being said, Froakie's distress is running a lot deeper than the other two's...
And you've been assailed before you even knew there was a fight to have!
Brook and Spike are completely undetectable between the sandstorm, ash, and their illusions, and Evan manages to dive from under a falling tree than has Ishmael pinned down for 12 damage. Everyone but Ish, Evan, Sail, and those immune take 1 sandstorm damage, while Kaz and Ludicolo take 2 damage from poison.
Ludicolo is quite injured (7/20), but he manages to steel his nerves after hearing Sagira's speech. He gets up, ready to offer...a single Protect.
The attacker is still somewhere in the trees, but with all these irritants in the air, it's impossible to see more than a few feet ahead of you. Extra lights in the form of fire are only brightening things, not extending your range...what will you do?

>>5790904 >>5790895 >>5790894 >>5790890 Everyone's combined efforts make quick work of Ishmael's trap, though it's not until everyone's attention is on the rabbit that the attack falls. Something cuts through the air, and Brook is slashed across the back by an unknown attack, for 8 Damage! But...there's no dissolving of energy or physical debris, only an uncomfortable liquid spray...just what was that attack?
>>5790889 Kaz, for all his vulnerability...isn't struck. It doesn't want to be revealed. At the same time, he can't make any progress...
>>5790888 Spike, from his unaccounted position sees the attack on Brook as coming from one specific high tree.

>>5790912 "Hold tight. I have an idea..." Cress tries forming a Pyro ball to roll into the ashy haze, away from anyone to potentially get hit. It's bait!

You've met quite a few aggressive Pokemon before, but this attack has rage behind it; they're swinging for real. Moreover, it reads <span class="mu-s"> uncomfortably </span> familiarly. Two Night Slashes...

>>5791167 >>5791169 As much as one can tell that none of her basic swats are strong enough to hurt anymore, and she can't get up, she's still going for them. She was silent before, but is now too disoriented not to give off a few hisses. Most of the swings are in the direction of Brook, Kaz, Ludicolo, and Surface Skipper, the most injured...
But much like before anyone was found, the ferals no longer fit for this forest environment are steering well clear of you fighting belligerents.
Cress leaves the children to see to Kaz's physical well being, but she doesn't have any items on her...

You feel as if you’re floating endlessly in a sea of emotions, dreams, and ideas. A realm of pure thought embraces your very being. Wherever you are now, it’s nowhere you’ve been before. Or… nowhere you’ve been before while consciously aware. Something within you tells you that this is familiar. A place you’ve seen before, but not quite grasped fully.
Like a word on the tip of your tongue.
Words echo in your head, bouncing around like noise crashing down a tunnel. Your head aches. Reflexively, your body moves to react. Clutch your head in pain? Wince? Look for the cause? Nothing happens. There is no form for you here. You are something else.
As you wonder and touch upon the idea of being without form, the crashing noise subsides as it hits a soft wool. You see a shape. And you hear a voice.
"I'm happy that we have the chance to meet again, under better circumstances now. Let your hearts be calmed, there is no danger here to be concerned of. At least, not at this very moment.” She pauses, looking mournfully hesitant. “I would say to speak freely, but our state of affairs leaves me with little room to maneuver.”
"I apologize my initial meeting had been turbulent, and my follow-up less so. It was not my intention to leave so abruptly and without warning. I am here now, though. I hope that is reassuring." Her flowing dress folds as she sits. “Our connection is stable, but it is taxing. If you have questions to ask, please consider your words before speaking. I surmise I can only support six before… a possibility of retribution.”
Chapter 4: Watcher's Reverie
You're all here in this weird dream world! But you are armed with (six, to be precise) a limited amount of questions to quell your parched curiosity. Discuss and try to make the most of it.

>>5795723 >>5795725 "Please, try not to talk all at once. Similar thoughts are easier to resonate together... but too many diverging ideas can cause chaos." She raises her hands up, softly telling you all to slow down. "Please keep that in mind. I am here to look over all of you, a part of my duty and responsibility. I would be a vessel of sorts. A conduit for all things alive."
>>5795727 She closes her eyes, taking a deep breath. You're not sure there's even air here to breathe, but you're not exactly well inundated with the mystical and arcane. "There is no one simple answer to your question, I'm afraid. When you arrived here, you were changed. An agreement, or a contract, if you might perceive it that way. You and all the others here have a duty, one that hasn't quite solidified quite yet. A deep danger lurks above, seeking to undo the fabric of peace and life. Once you have fulfilled it, home will be closer to you."
A flash of darkness races across your vision. A primal sense of fear floods into your heart. "I hope that did not frighten you. It is not my intention to scare you. But it would be wrong to not warn you. They know we are working against them. I have done my best to shield you, but my strength is limited to the spiritual world. Please, be careful in your waking one."
>>5795736 >>5795737 >>5795741 "I cannot fault you all for being excited. A chance of knowing is enticing, but please, heed my warning." Gardevoir nods her head. "You are all part of a destiny now, or one that has been laid before you. There are no guarantees, but there is tension in the fabric. One right pull can alter it for good. Or one wrong tug might untangle all that holds it together. A great evil is rising that you have answered the call to strike down."
"We are at a critical point in Life. There is a shifting. A hidden stirring in the heart of the world. I cannot place my mind on what it is exactly, but know it is why I have called for your aid. I know your burgeoning strength will be pivotal to this coming disaster. All I may ask for is patience." She closes her eyes. "I fear for what may come should we play into their grasp. What disaster might unfold if we reveal ourselves too early. They are plotting in the impenetrable shadows, looking to drive a deep schism into the world. If this is all discovered too soon, perhaps that schism may be driven between all of you."
"I know it is not much to work with. And I cannot apologize profusely enough for not knowing more to give to all of you. To bestow you the protection of awareness is a boon that is beyond my own reach. A misstep in this formative hour may draw their attention. Speculation is not a luxury we have to squander."

Run and do not let them find you. I do not know what shape or form the Seeker takes, but they are persistent and guileful. Any opportunity they will take and exploit with feverish enthusiasm."
Gardevoir stands up, hands held together, head bowed. "Our chance to speak as free as we can is closing. One last question. After that, I cannot guarantee anything."

>>5795815 For the longest time, she remains silent. For a second, a clawing feeling within you tells that might've been too much. However, Gardevoir finally breaks the quiet with her voice. "I cannot comment upon the circumstances prior to our very first meeting. It would only leave me with speculations." She raises her hand, gracefully pacing to where Matchia is standing. Her fingers lay itself roughly where the heart would be. "The soul is a powerful thing. Resilient beyond any measure. The container will fade to nothing before it shows any signs of faltering. I still do not see anything wrong with them now. Take solace in that."
"Only you know your circumstances." She backs off, eyes closed. "I am sorry I could not provide a better answer."
"The hour draws closer. It does not mean I have to leave just yet." She smiles. "And I have something for all of you. Please, hold still now, and clear any worry. This will make it easier."
>Gardevoir is imparting something to all of you... it is a moment. Of joy? Of elation? You're not sure. >You gain +15IQ and are healed to full. "How did that feel?" she asks.

Rolled 11 (1d20) >>5795924 Spike mind freezes- what can he do? He has no body to control and he had no training in an situation like this. Whatever the gardevoir was fighting, he couldn't tell but knew it couldn't reach them.
In his frantic thoughts something comes to the forefront of his mind. An old story from a Unovan native he knew working in the Orre black markets of dream worlds, string charms that caught nightmares, and smoking pokemon who could eat them.
Nightmares. That's what he needed. He needed to shock his body, or simply wretch himself from this dreamscape.
>New IQ Skill: Hex Maniac Spike tries to focus on what he can feel, the mind or spirit or whatever, and move it away. All the while conjuring thoughts of his death in an attempt to stress his body into waking.

>>5795930 >>5795936 Evan begins fleeing, stumbling away as flight kicks in overdrive. However, there's not a chance to get very far before an Ember smashes against his back. Evan can feel his back flake and molt as his already ethereal shape begins losing further coherency.
In mere moments, he's faded away.
>>5795931 >>5795934 Orner's tail lashes out with frightening speed, poised to strike. Wallis can feel something slip right through. She feels weightless. And then nothing.
>>5795935 >>5795945 Darius isn't one to back down from a challenge. His burning bright determination and reaction is to lash out. Gardevoir can only look back with surprise as a rock is flung through her barrier, crashing into the darkness. It buzzes and jolts like nerves alight before consuming the rock.
"You must go," Gardevoir whispers, faint enough that a breeze could whisk her words away.
Matchia listens, but clearly she wasn't expecting the Larvitar to be that heavy! She faceplants, arms still trying to move the rock-lizard-totally-a-human.
>>5795937 >>5795941 Reverberating noise echoes throughout the evolving dreamspace, like metal hitting metal. A crushing pressure surrounds your mind and soul as something weighs upon it. It's getting easier to wake up and lose your grip in this strange reality.

Sail zips away, used to being without limbs. He's a little dragon snail, after all! Skitty tries to fling herself, but quickly learns the same way as Angus... vertical movement has become difficult!

Darkness. That's all you can see. Anger. You feel it flooding the entire everything. A gnawing desire for retribution and consequence. Alonealonealonealonealone!
Wherewherewherewherewhere... foundfoundfoundfound!
Glittering eyes break against onslaught of shadows, making you feel so small. Smaller than you aware. You feel exposed. You feel laid bare. You see something chasing. Chasing you? Chasing something? Chasing someone? Searching? Finding? Wanting? Yearn—?
A bladed tail is driven through Skitty's back and she back in the inn, sucking in air like it was the first oasis in a forever desert.

That Gardevoir, for all the troubling news she’d brought, offers a welcome gift in the form of a full recovery. You need it, for the second job request Cress had taken comes from the Salamence whose ship had been stolen on you first sight in town. He’s sent everyone to intercept the thieves, Turning Trails and a band of Sprigatito at a black sand beach…a whole day’s travel and then some south of Baram Town. Not too long after the battering from that violent Greninja, either. You might find yourself a tad weary from the long by the time you hit the the point Salamence had described; it’s pretty hot and dry for a beach. The sand and stone underneath your feet is coarse and black as fresh asphalt, shifting and clumping together on its own… It’s when a familiar boat crosses into view on the shore that Cress explains why Salamence knows it’d have been found here to those unaware. “…A personal treasure of our client’s was in the captain’s quarters of the ship the night it was stolen-a compass that pointed to a few specific locations on Air Continent.

Sitting down, she aims a hand forward and toward, conjuring a mini ball of flames at the end of her right hand. Her left hand holds her upper arm to brace herself for the shot. Sagira is aiming to torch the ropes at a distance and drop them over the side of the hull. She just needs to burn things in the right order to get it to fall...

>>5799473 >>5799489 The reverse rappel is a perfect success! The two make it up the hull of the ship with tension in Evan's vines to spare.
>>5799474 the climbing surface is...not great. These things are treated for punctures and breaks, you know. That being said, a deliberate assault makes just just enough foothold to climb up, albeit slowly...
>>5799476 Brook, meanwhile, can't replicate the same success. He slides back down to where Cress and Darius are...
He'll make it up on a second attempt, but not without pulling a muscle.
>>5799500 >>5799465 It's a fine punt, one with just as much knockback as the first time they'd done this...at first. Darius can hear a subtle buzzing before the arc of his flight is suddenly dragged downward, pulling him face-first into the sand. It blends and coalesces around his body, sticking to him.
>>5799479 Wallis can stand comfortably on the wave, and doesn't even have to step or rebalance when it drops her topside.
>>5799481 It's a pretty terrible hover, until a wincing and Cursing Cress kicks Katherine upward with her uninjured foot out of frustration.
>>5799493 >>5799481 Progress is slow with two Pokemon trying to climb up a single chain. it's going slack and taut at near random, as if somebody doesn't know how to work it...? At least you can make your way up, given time.
>>5799497 Skitty makes the climb much more quickly than the Zoruas, but is struggling to get over the ledge without any perch or friction.
"Ooh! Yikes, need a paw?" A green appendage offers itself in assistance.
>>5799494 You see a few of the supposed thieves...singing? One of the catlike Pokemon on the ship look up and wave at you.
>>5799505 >>5799506 Cress swims out a third time to slip under Sail and carry him to the anchor. "Hey, hey! That's saltwater, you'll dehydrate! Be careful..."
On her fouth swim trip, she falls flat next to Dustin out of pain and exhaustion. "...Sorry...Darius. Maybe...Dustin can...ugg."
>>5799508 >>5799487 Orner can fully stretch and get just enough height on Mohka's back to grapple the ledge and pull herself up. There's some spare rope nearby a Kommo-o might want to get up themselves, but you could also use yourself for that, if you aren't lame.
For those aboard the ship, there are plenty of Sprigatito just playing around. Some of them wave at and greet Angus, others are playing leapfrog with eachother and falling off eachother's backs...? One in particular is just grooving to the jaunty tune, swaying his head and tail back and forth like a metronome.
One in particular is trying to help Skitty board. Another is dancing on top of the crank controlling the anchor. One might assume he's trying to lift it, but his stomps and steps are too light to really move it. That one just falls and tumbles onto the floor.

It takes a moment, but their psychic organs emit a sudden shift in gravitational pull. Hopefully it can slow the rise of heat and fire, if only slightly. They try to focus it onto the ropes, but they've never done such a thing before, so it isn't liable to work. Gravity is far from a discriminate force.

>>5799565 Off in the distance, there are a few breaks where the cave has collapsed, leaving the inside partially visible from above. You can just barely spot movement from your faraway range, headed deeper inward. It looks like you have time before anyone returns with whatever they came for.
>>5799567 You hop into a barrel of Mangosteens. A Sprig reaches in and grabs the one next to you.
>>5799568 The water kind of tingles at the point your flames emerge, but that's the extent of your discomfort. It's exacerbated by how heavy this rope is, so you may want to get going-even with a little bubble of water forming itself over the dying flame as intended.
>>5799580 For multiple reasons.
>>5799578 Darius manages to land about as far away from anyone else as can be managed-despite his yelling.
>>5799582 The entire boat slides down the foreshore and into the water. It's no longer beached, but something is keeping it from drifting around-more than an anchor alone can explain...
But more to your point, the failing flame has stopped moving completely.
>>5799583 You notice that Some of the cats have different...vibes about them. Some of them are more poised, some of them frolic almost weightlessly, some have wilder foliage growing from their necks...
A couple are frizzing up with static or have dusty textures about them-those two types in particular are all sticking or laying on the ground as they horse around aimlessly...?
>>5799604 >>5799564 Presumably, everything on this ship is stolen...A few cats are playing around indoors as well, but one hallway is mysteriously quiet and empty. It has only a single door, at the opposite end.
There's a bulbous flower sitting on the ground in front.

Quickly, she rushes up to the other end of the microportal'd rope and angles it up, driving herself between two opposing gravitational forces.

Rolled 2, 16 = 18 (2d20) >>5799661 It takes Angus a fair bit of time to cross the distance between the boat and the cave. A clearer pit reveals an Orbeetle, a taller silhouetted Pokemon, and another Sprigatito travelling deeper within. The three of them are moving quickly enough it almost seems like they're flying through the cave! Whatever it is they're here for, they'll have it and be on their way back before long...
>>5799641 >>5799655 Just as Ishmael steps into the hall, the glint of a razor-thin strip of wire crosses his vision. He only has a split second to understand what's coming before he snaps it on contact and an explosion kicks him back into the wall behind Wallis for...18 Grass damage.
>>5799666 "Sis is sis! ooh, and Sis, too. Don't forget about Sis, she loves attention. Then there's Big Sis, Sis, uhh..." He points all over the ship at random Sprigs, and once towards the shore.
His sister is a lot more riled up, however.
>>5799660 >>5799649 "Yeah, yeah! That's the spirit! It was super fun! We were all "GRAAAAAHH" and "I'm gonna BILGE yer PLANK!!!!!" and then we played all night long!" She's hopping in place. "Let's do it! Hyaaah!"
Suddenly, she dives for Kaz.
Combat begin?!
Night Battle - Sonic Unleashed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj_4Dr40_Zc&t She and her brother's demeanor's shift. Their crests and claws growing slimmer and sharper, like hidden weapons. "Ooh. Ooh! Catpile! Wooo!" Her brother jumps for Spike. They're both using bite!
Another pair of Sprigatito join the fray at the sound of a game, these two both the frizzy and dusty variety that are stuck to the floor...
>>5799647 >>5799673 >>5799637 Typically, what happens first when stealing a boat is you raise the anchor. A Sprigatito is jumping repeatedly on the crank controlling it to no effect, while Cress is currently climbing about on the same chain it's connected to.
>>5799654 Hardly. It's a good thing the boat is still so close to shore, sculling isn't your strength.
>>5799680 Darius makes his way indoors, but something is still affecting him. His schtomping isn't stealthy at all, either. A Sprigatito falls down a flight of stairs before looking up at him. "Hard walkin' too?"
Also, eat a salad.
>>5799678 Katherine's fruitiness alerts her to the smell of an Oran berry and a Green Gummi just under her.
>>5799705 It's a certifiable magic trick, all in the space of a second. Turning around the hole in space has the gravity within pulling her upwards with accelerated gravity, just for long enough to throw herself and Espurr aboard the ship!...On which a few Sprigatito are casually conversing with Spike, Kaz, and others.
>>5799726 Cress, out of breath, rolls over the edge of the ship to get to Dustin. She sees the incoming battle and moves to get between him and any errant attackers.

spraying yet more of them all over the path towards it and the door. Topping the strange show off is a single seed falling exactly where the flower used to lie, sprouting another one in its place. It's some kind of...floral bomb that can reset itself. This one bloom more vividly, almost like a taunt.
Now that you can see these tripwires, maybe one could roll to sidle through them, but the threshold to have a shot at doing so is...

>>5799741 "It's yer type! Check it out! I'm gonna turn Grass." She spins a few glowing leaves in a circle around around herself. "And then if we change to the right type..." She takes out a strange looking wand. It has a brown TM stuck inside one end of it, which she uses to summon a rock to fall on Darius's head. Her coat returns to the dusty texture of the grounded ones on the deck. Immediately, she collapses to the floor with a weighty thud. "The beach'll pull ya right in! It'll do it if yer Steel or Electric, too!"
Useful information not being communicated by her, is that Sprigatito can change type at will.
>>5799764 >>5799769 Water softens the impact on the wall(i)s, setting off just as many tripwires as Ish's Ember. Annoyingly enough, the bulb endures long enough to spew another seed, though the flames and current blow it out of position before it can bloom properly. The web of strings is reset, though with the flower facing the wrong way, it's now sealing off the other end of the hallway. Looking at its underside, you can actually see that the tripwires are really the flower's stem. And with the trap set up in a different direction, you can see more of those bulbous flower bombs lining the walls of the hallway-now in the direction you aren't coming from. Door's clear!
>>5799754 You land on a thin wire, completely unseen until you're right over it with far too much momentum. It snaps, and something collides with your back, exploding on contact. The attack deals 18 Grass damage...
"Companyyy...? The Tall Pokemon turns around. "Myah, you two can deal with him." They've already lost interest, walking ahead to an unassuming sack in the middle of the room.
The Orbeetle stops the Sprigatito from advancing. "...Angus? Good lad, what brings you back to me?! There are better times to catch me, that's for sure! Ohohoho!!"
>>5799778 Your constitution leaves you uniquely capable of sliding through a grate and down into a hallway a cat and a disguised Brook had run through. You could follow them or go into one of the rooms they'd passed, but the thief sure did drop 200P.
>>5799752 "Ooh? Oh! We gotta make sure everyone inside is safe! Didja catch what they look like? Come on, walk and talk!" The cat leads you down to the storage, where a bunch more of the thieves are piled up against the front end of the boat."Headcount, now!" They sign off up to nine.
He turns around, deferring to Brook. "This is all the little ones-" who might start problems anew if you were to take off with them..."Where's the safest place we can go, bro?"
Looks like the ball's in your court.

>>5799741 The three nearest to Mohka leap back in shock, not noticing the 7 foot pseudo until it's too late. Unfortunately, their landing site is well overboard.
A fourth one merely thinks it's funny and climbs up Mohka's back.
"<span class="mu-s">Boo.</span>"
It's pretty silly and lame, but something about the sound of his voice is...anathematic to you-enough that you take 11 damage just from hearing the Disarming Voice.
>>5799781 >>5799776 Cress is relaxing, now realizing nobody's going to attack a defenseless Dustin when the flaming shot comes screaming towards her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M-9wAmdMWI >>5799841 Cress bunts the flame straight upwards with a knee. It's spinning and turning over with all of the momentum and power of an overcharged ember and Pyro Ball and deeply abused gravity before Cress follows it into the air to stomp it properly into the crowd of thieves gathering around Evan, Spike, Matchia and Mohka. The rest of the tensome Sprigatito not battling yet are blown clean overboard when the flame bursts, only one taking the full damage and a burn.
>>5799746 It cartwheels overboard. But this weight is stuck well. If you didn't know better, you'd think think it wasn't designed to...
In fact, you can feel gravity lightening on yourself, yet this anchor is still stuck.
>>5799738 Get!
>>5799751 Exactly one Sprig conks out. The way it flattens against the deck, you're suddenly reminded that neither they nor you have attached collarbones.
>>5799770 And True it is. The First sinister Sprig takes 8 damage, while Spike boosts up.
There are two sinister, one dusty, one frizzy, and one magical Sprigatito roughhousing with those on the front deck. Given all the ones that have been knocked over, the rest are a bit easier to count. 10 below the decks following Brook, 5 battling with you, 1 aside Turning Trails and the ringleader, and 12 overboard and dealt with.

>>5799912 The old bug sighs. "I told you I'm a treasure hunter, haven't I? Of course a thief would know about his loot! It's a sour reunion, this one. I'm sure you're all swell Pokemon, but I wasn't supposed to see any of you ever again! Ohohohohhh! Tell you what, you'll find everything you need to know about a crew looking for the Ultimate Treasure-if you're unfortunate enough to cross paths with us again. Be safe and stay away us, hmm, chap? Hohohoho..."
As he bids you away, you're suddenly treated to a taste of why he's called Turning Trails. Before you realize, you're forced to look upwards to match gazes with him- and fly just to stay in place?! An invisible force is dragging yyou backwards through the cave, as if you're falling sideways! Just as you're wrapping your head around it, a web of silk from the old mon ensnares and drops you through the path, flinging youbackward out the entrance until you fall out of range of the warped gravity and in front of the stolen ship. Your last sight before you're thrown is the bemused glare of a masked cat hovering in midair over his shoulder, a roll of paper in its hands.
>>5803489 The cats all nod sagely, as if they've never been more sure of anything in their lives. Even though-
"Sure thing, new Sprig we've never seen before! Ready, bros? Sisses? It's time for the chore-doing of a lifetiiiime!!" The first one to follow Brook wails, falling backward over itself. The cats cheer. They drop their belongings, an orange gummi, a pink gummi, a smooth looking rod with a disc embedded, and a Heal seed on top of Brook.
Meanwhile, on the deck battle...
Mohka's protect insulates his mind from the uncanny mewling of the Sprigatito on his back.
The sinister pair both go for Bites into Matchia, while the Frizzy Sprig waves a rod in its mouth. It glows a bright yellow, and a wave of electricity shoots out towards Sagira!
The final Sprig, a lumbering dusty one waves a similar stick stuck in its mouth, conjuring a stone from thin air. It's falling towards Evan...
VoL
The Bites both connect for 7 Dark damage into Matchia, one flinching. The Thunder Wave washes over Sagira, paralyzing her rather than doing damage. Evan is struck by a Smack Down for 7 Rock damage. Your move, team.

A few sea charts are rolled up aside a desk with standard effects; a quill, a globe...an open case with a gold compass? It's not pointing north, but rather freaking out and rolling in every direction. The centerpiece kind of looks like an eye...

He's still well capable of fighting, but the magnetic pull of the stones on the beach pull him overboard with the combined attacks. The Frizzy Sprig is looking pretty beat up, even a rapid spin would KO her...while the second Sinister Sprigatito is about half as energetic as she was. She's a little alone in this battle otherwise, though...
>>5803594 >>5803580 >>5803583 There's no presence, but definitely the power of a move in the air. It's a little late for warnings though, because You hear a string snap when the compass is pulled.

Regardless, she lunges for Dustin, fangs bared.
The Frizzy one crawls towards Sagira. "...Can I have that back?"

Hardhead the Crustle! You're part of the group who's been divvied up into dealing with the criminal. This is a mostly simultaneous take down, given the circumstances Sneasel has provided for you, so you're currently operating with half of the normal crew. The poster containing the details of the mission have already provided the general location of the outlaw, so you're well on your way. The area you find yourself investigating is a rocky area with a minor incline, presenting a difficult area to get good footing on. The ground crumbles with the consistency of gravel and shale. If you're not careful, you might go for an uncontrollable tumble. Nearby, there is an overhang that provides some form of cover from directly above. Trees sparsely cover the ridgelines. Probably a place where they might be hiding... It seems the place where you might encounter the Crustle is in the depression.

He's lucky that the noise from the rocks is covering his clattering scales.

>>5806716 Skitty's Fake Out clacks against the surface of Hardhead's shell, barely causing her any problems. In fact, she doesn't even notice it! There is a very minor imprint that there was damage, however.
>>5806718 Orner's attack misses entirely, clipping the rear behind the Crustle. Without turning around, it's obvious this is more than just a fluke with a Snivy. "More of you! You're next, longer snake!" Hardhead threatens, chasing after Evan.
>>5806728 >>5806719 Mohka grabs the little guy, heavier than expected. No matter. With some struggling against the ground, Mohka manages to launch him mostly on target! With his unobstructed sight line in the air, he prepares his landing with a vicious Payback! He slams into the rock shell like a living rocket, indenting the highest layer with his single head spike.
>>5806729 >>5806730 Waiting on the sidelines for now, Espurr and Spike wait, with the ghostly fox biding his time by sharpening his mettle.
>>5806735 The blast of water smacks against the surface, chipping away at the side. However, instead of clearly punching through, the crystals seem to hold it together better than a normal shell! While it doesn't resist water, it's missing the same oomph!
>>5806720 Evan scampers away, looking back and ducking just in time to watch a massive rock sail through the air and collide with the ground in front of him, pulverizing the gravel to grounded dust! However, the onslaught isn't over, and Hardhead closes in and pincers the air with a vicious, sickening chop!

She's got a bit of an adrenaline rush after seeing the much-more-real-than-she-thought danger. Her senses become more acute...
>Skitty used Foresight! Guildmaster
>>5806753 Darius continues assaulting the Crustle's large frame, wailing at it with revenge-fueled fury. The shell is showing signs of wear now. "You're next, lil' rock!"
>>5806757 The Ban Seed shatters against Hardhead, releasing its noxious payload across the entire surface of the Crustle's body. A red aura envelops them before fading. "What did you do, snake?" Hardhead cries out, suddenly unable to flex their pincers in a way that would summon up a move.
>>5806758 The Blast Seed hurtles through the air, exploding across the Crustle's shell. A quaking boom fills the depression as shards of crystal and rock come clattering out. The core of the shell, a big crystal has been revealed!
>If you're feeling greedy, you might be able to catch some of those crystals to sell... (immediately translates to 50P). "My pretty shell!" Hardhead screams.
>>5806759 With little obstruction, the Basic Attack splashes and strikes the worn Crustle. Hardhead is moving slower now, pained.
>>5806760 The Water Gun continues to chip away at the reinforced crystal shell, or, what's left of it anyway. Hardhead is panicking.
>>5806762 >>5806765 A Dragon Tail comes rushing down on the shell, cracking against the crystal. More of it falls away. Soon enough, Hardhead won't have much left to defend herself with!
As he returns to the graveled earth, he can feel a refreshing sensation soothe his wounds. Skitty takes the time to draw inward, imagining all the possibilities that the ailing Crustle could take. Her shot is sure, now!
Hardhead has gone crazy, and has fired off two retaliatory shots up at the perpetrator that she believes detonated half of her shell away! One of the shots completely misses, simply kicking up another dust storm, while the other inadvertently slams right into the diminutive body of Espurr!
>Hardhead used Stone Edge on Espurr, it missed! >Hardhead used Stone Edge on Espurr, dealing 13 damage! "You'll all pay for that! The Sturdy Bunch won't forget this!" she cries out, probably about to burst into tears. Not out of any physical pain, however.

>>5806789 Mohka slips and cracks the earth right beside of the Crustle, blowing up a big cloud of dust and debris. Also, there's a really loud reverberation shaking through him and the incline. Not quite thunder...
>>5806786 Espurr manages to save (50P) a crystal before it breaks on the ground.

Spirals the Omastar!
As you approach the area, you quickly find it a very strange place for a Water-type to be hiding in. The area is quite stuffy with the sensation of lingering static, a majority of it dancing across the surface of your body. If you've got fur, you're starting to look more like a fuzzball than an actual Pokémon.
Venturing further and deeper into the area, you can't help but wonder to yourself if this really is the right place.
Moments pass, and all of you see something past the rocky outcroppings and spindly white-barked trees. It looks to be some kind of encampment with a tiny pool in the place of where a campfire would go. Is this the location of the outlaw? The clearing is raised, with the campsite placed on the highest point of the small hill. Tall yellow grass surrounds the area, with some of it partially cleared out.
The longer you look, the more the evidence suggests that the Omastar is hiding here. Now, Sneasel did say something about them being cowardly. Best tread carefully.

"Perhaps we should display-" Cubone's warning falls flat and cuts himself off, watching Kaz run in. "...Well. How irksome."
He sighs, and makes his way to one of the trees, making efforts to partially climb it from an angle the set-up camp could not clearly see. He couldn't afford to go too high even if he managed, though-ignoring the risk of falling, the higher he got, the more likely he was to be caught.

>>5810320 Kaz quickly dives out of the open and into the nearby tall grass for cover. At that exact moment, Omastar steps out, looking around. He catches the shuffling grass from Kaz's escape. "Danged ferals always messing my stuff up," he says, frowning.
>>5810321 Dustin is now hiding in the tall grass, concealed.
>>5810325 Angus hides somewhere. Since he can fly, this is assumed to be in a tree. Being further up here is making his feathers itchy with static.
>>5810327 Wallis blades herself against the trunk of one of the trees, evading detection for now.
>>5810329 Moving through the grass and maintaining concentration on an illusion is difficult. The blades of the grass make the Crustle look wavy and distant. By the encampment, Omastar can see the top of a rock-shell crossing toward him. He squints. "A Crustle...? Is that Hardhead? Why would she be here?"
He begins moving in Brook's direction.
>>5810330 There's not a lot of room left to sneak further up, as the area surrounding the camp had been modified to provide for some decent sightlines. As Ishmael continues to move around, he can feel his fur agitated by the static in the air. It prickles, to be honest.
>>5810339 All the traps are suspended on branches held down by ropes. As you look at them, none of them seem to be particularly dangerous, except to those with exceptional hearing. For the most part, it's just a system to allow Omastar to easily flee.

"...The others are getting close. Sabotage doesn't seem to be useful. Try and corner him." he says, though Cubone's tone makes it unclear if he's talking to himself or giving instructions.On such short notice, dealing with two separate pincer attacks from the group was pretty good odds for them, since there was such an early activation of the alarm.

>>5810353 >>5810357 The embers strike the spider-silk with a thwoomp of air louder than Ishmael would've appreciated. It does disable one of the traps entirely, but Omastar is now looking in his direction, growing cautious.
Katherine's rolling around is not completely silent, rustling the grass occasionally whenever she passes to get closer to the camp.
Spirals is backing up, eyes narrowed. "I thought I already taught those pesky ferals a lesson..."
>>5810355 >>5810358 Kaz is beginning to ready up, harnessing the power within! Angus' claws grow sharper, taking a progressively wicked look.
>>5810360 While the plan is solid and does make the ground muddier than normal, it is definitely not subtle in the slightest, especially in the presence of someone attuned to the water. "Is that? Who's there!? Show yourself!" Spirals shouts, retreating further up the hill.
>>5810361 Cubone slips down from the tree to reposition on the other side of the camp, waiting to strike in tandem with the others. He passes by without incidence, even as the situation seems to deteriorate.
>>5810365 Spirals notices the vanishing rock-shell and begins to look panicked, definitely certain that there has to be something or someone stalking around near his camp. "If... if you don't show yourselves... I... I've got a secret! Not one more step from anyone out there! Or... or something bad will happen!"
Is he bluffing? Or was he paranoid enough to set something up?
>>5810366 For a split second, he isn't noticed and is almost able to get close enough into Spirals' personal space. However, the paranoid outlaw is on high alert and spots him moments later. He makes a weird panicked screech and flees into the center of the camp.
"Stay back! I've got this place rigged!" he threatens.

That meant his best and only defense was a good offense, or perhaps more accurately, trying to disorient the target enough that he'd be unable to immediately activate any additional traps he hadn't spotted.

>>5810373 "Eek! So there was someone! W-Well I'll have you know... it is rigged! If you attack me, I'll pull this string and everything will go crazy!" Spirals shouts, holding up the thin string.
>>5810375 >>5810376 >>5810377 >>5810381 Almost immediately after saying that, Spirals has various attacks thrown at him. Dustin leaps out and begins munching on the tough shell, causing the Omastar to immediately freak out. In his panic, the string snaps.
There's a loud, cacophonous clattering as many shells fall to the ground.
A bolt of fire slams against his side, almost cosmetically scorching his side. This is quickly followed up by a powered throw, a pile of rock rubble exploding against him. Cubone takes the distraction and hops into the fray, clapping a mudful into the outlaw's facial region. His tentacles flail as he does, screaming muffled.
>>5810380 Brook's claws become sharpened, almost similarly to that of wetting a dagger! They're quite stabby.
>>5810384 There's not a whole lot of stealth left to be doing, but she does roll up the hill to the center of the encampment.
>>5810382 >>5810385 Wallis throws up a protective barrier around the group, anticipating danger in the form of retributive explosions or some kind of area of effect... however, for some time, nothing happens... until she feels something tickling her arm. Matchia notices something on her leg.
Is that a Joltik?
Oh, uh, that's... aH! AHHH! THAT'S A LOT OF JOLTIK.
The noise traps have disturbed the underground colony of nesting electric bug ferals, shattering their cocooned homes or waking them from slumber. A horde of Joltik clamber up from the cracks in the grounds as Charjabugs crawl out, all of them buzzing with anger.
Spirals is still running around, screaming, trying to get Dustin off. Which he does eventually. Almost immediately, he begins running for his go-bag, attempting to flee.
You'll have to weather through the bug horde to catch the Omastar!

>Ishmael, Brook, Kaz, and Dustin have been sprayed with a little bit of mud and bug! >>5810392 Katherine decides she'd rather not, and just leaves the area entirely. Maybe because she's a berry, the bugs ignore her for the most part. However, it seems she's attracted the attention of a lone Charjabug. Perhaps it is hungry.

>>5810398 A wave of water slams against the small hill, almost flooding the area. The sudden influx of water sweeps away a good majority of the bugs up and away, but now a new hazard has been introduced. Brackish and muddy, electricity begins flowing and humming across the water, giving the entire area an eerie lightning glow. Charjabugs awkwardly float around, ferrying unlucky Joltiks.
There are some safe spots, but you'll need to jump between them to reach Omastar.
>>5810401 Angus takes off, avoiding most of the danger. However, in the air, it's becoming harder and harder to maneuver. It seems the static that hung like a fog below is stronger up here. It's going to be hard to see with his face puffing up and his whole body itching and numb.
Spirals stops at the edge of the clearing, backing away from the electrified water. "Guh... this is bad..."

Regardless, the coiled power from the honed claws sends the tiny fox a considerable length, skipping over the dangers below. While his sucker punch has fallen short, he's right behind Ishmael.
He has misjudged the distance and his tackle ends short, placing him in a currently advantageous position to corner the outlaw.
>>5810429 Cubone begins attracting the electricity toward himself like some sort of whirlpool. The dancing electricity is quite mesmerizing, if equally deadly. Falling into the water won't present too many problems now.
>>5810431 Grabbing the Joltik, she flicks the tiny thing at high speeds at Spirals, landing it next to him. The startled bug skitters around, sounding like a little taser. Spirals jumps back, holding up his tentacles. "Hey now... offer is drying u-up..."

Spirals the Omastar has been defeated! Looking around you, your fighting has turned the dry forest into somewhat of a ruined swamp, teeming with angry Joltik and Charjabug, filling the air with sounds of upset bugs and moving electricity. You check his belongings, only to find most of them destroyed in the fight. There seemed to be a map for a hidden stash, but that's been ruined by the hits he took. You'll never quite figure out what he was going to bribe you with, anyway.

It's been a long week. protecting those youths at Vigil Spinner's request and Salamence's request to steal that ship back. The dragon happens to be loitering around Baram Town's docks as you all finish your sailing trip of victory. A docking later, and you're all free to converse amongst yourselves and him. He's looking uncharacteristically peppy seeing most prized purchase sculling back to him from the horizon.
"Heyyy! Whaddaya know, you tykes're good for somethin' after all! So!! How'd she handle it? How'd ya take her back? I wanna hear everything!!" He's eyeing you all like a winning lottery ticket.

They take note of a few things:
Do they glow on their own?
Are they warm?
Espurr pockets the fragments, sparing not even a sliver of stone. They're stored safely in Espurr's Leaf Bag. They take the larger one and hope to see how it can be useful to them. With all the material they've acquired, they may be able to study the fragments before doing anything big with the unbroken piece.

Espurr has a trawl orb. Matchia has a royal gummi, given to Sail. It looks brilliant, with a few shades of four other colors tinting it in places now and then. Smells...sharp. Like multiple other smells coming together in a sweet harmony. Cress has a silver gummi. Orner has a shadow gummi. Sagira has a renewal herb. It smells deeply bitter, bitter beyond the preferences of someone who loves acrid and bitter foods. It can't be sugarcoated, it won't taste fun. However, you get an odd sense of peace from it... Froakie's still quiet, but Ludicolo can at least make casual chatter.

Cress is sitting at a booth in the Subsumed Château with a job request. With Primarina, as she hasn't quite gotten the hang of reading printrunes. The listing describes a search for crystals from some kind of mystery dungeon at the request of...Salamence, again. Apparently it's all to defend his assets from further attacks...somehow. There's a note at the end describing cautions and an extra request; sounds like this is a more sensitive mission than your usual fare... The reason for her apprehension though, is opportunity cost. Just a day ago, Kaz and a few others discovered that amidst the chaos of recovering Salamence's sea vessel (Which you've now christened 'The Shore Thing') the other week, everyone forgot to deal with the lone Sprigatito wandering the halls with Darius! She happily offers information about her litter's next target, and clearly there's only so much time before they make their move. Where to?>To Mystic Monolith!

6-5. To Mystic Monolith it is. It's a dungeon held within an oddly shaped mountain, one taller than it is wide. Given that it's mostly hollow, it probably shouldn't be standing...and yet, here it is. On the outside it looks pretty plain otherwise, but the stone of the interior glares a briliant, technicolor washed purple. Flecks of sparks, wisps, and frost flit around you harmlessly now and then, keeping the path decently lit. However, the sights and energy of the place keep you energized. You feel more...you, whatever your species is.
The job request is calling for you to mine gems infused with the energies of different types from the walls of the place. For reasons you can probably guess, Salamence has a preference for Fire and Flying gems, but any will do. He writes that they'll be tough to free from the walls, and that collapses aren't uncommon. So...use discretion.

Unrelated, a pink mist coats the floors of this bedazzling place. Misty terrain.

>>5830543 >>5830548 >>5830550 >>5830565 A couple sharp protrusions break up the outline of jagged, flat Pokemon wading through the mist. You can't exactly make out the pokemon they belong to, but their wings move rapidly enough to enlarge their silhouettes considerably. The unmistakeable outline of...Dustin, retreats further into the system upon being seen. The platelike Pokemon are approaching, revealing themselves to be...turtle shaped. their gait is distinctly defensive, and most attacks would land on their shells...
They look to be moving for you all specifically, though Cubone is undetected...
>>5830585 Dustin's ember lights up a pair of Turtonator. They sure are doing the Turtonator thing!
>>5830590 >>5830579 >>5830590 Ordinarily, Surf's pressure at this strength would be spread too widely to accomplish much. Through pressurization, a second stone is cut from the massive dragon gem.
Dusk steps on a sharp pebble and fails to get the Gravity off before Sagira and Wallis begin their cut.. It'll take another beam of water to finish another gem, though...
The Turtle Pokemon are looking aggressive. What'll you all do?

He and another Pokemon could slip by the two of them unnoticed, but no more. PLAYER TURN 2 Uninjured Turtonator B is taking a familiar low stance, pulling his shell over most of his body. Turtonator A looks like he could fall over unconscious from his injuries any second, and...is forced to use a different move by Torment.

Of course, that could very easily backfire on him if he isn't quick and quiet about it...

VoL
>>5835118 >>5835127 The Cyan and Clear formations are fractured, ejecting a single Flying and Normal Gem. They're more than large enough to offer a few more, but maybe someone should support the structures before committing to a risk like that...
>>5835138 The Green Gem is uprooted from its wall by an unseen force following an uncomfortable scraping sound. It's the force of the two TMs embedded behind it! TMs...21 and 107, Mega Drain and Shock Wave? What are Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric moves doing buried in the walls?
>>5835172 The gemstone cracks much more readily than with a couple other's attempts at breaking them up, but it's clear you'll want help getting anything out of this one without collsping its bedding...
>>5835176 Water, unaided this time, glides ineffectually off of the hard stone. You'll want at least 2 Attack or some advanced technique to break a piece off...
>>5835121 >>5835129 Kaz meanwhile, takes the spot Cubone had originally hid in.
Evan is quick-stepping around the dust that used to be a beautiful Dragon Gem, hiding in the mist...
>>5835125 Orner is a little less nimble than she thinks. Her Aqua Tail is misplaced, and whiffs.
>>5835130 >>5835157 Turtonator B only just manages to catch his balance before a potshot from behind knocks him forward and back into range of a Mud Shot. The attacks deal 12 and 9 Damage, KOing the second dragon...
But their speech raises a question.
COMBAD END
>>5835170 >>5835156 The Turtles look up(down?), avoiding your gazes. "...It sounds like you're taking about an illness." They shake their heads before coughing. "Pokemon can't get sick in here. There's too much frilly stuff in the air." A puff of Misty Terrain wafts upward into your faces, almost as if to punctuate. Turtonator A flails on his back a bit. "More to the point, we're guards. It's what we do. Get lost! Don't take our crystals!"

They decide to give the green one up, leaving it on the ground. They've made out with a decent haul.

Anyway, Ishmael tugs the rock out of range of the wall's eventual collapse. His grip is solid enough to end with a usably sized Fire Gem broken off. There's enough in this rock for a couple more, too!

>>5835188 The nearest 'last gem', now being...the fiery one in the next room over. There's enough pressure to work out a second Fire Gem to cut from the structure before you're out of water...

>>5835363 Flesh of bag firmly separating his Fire Gem from his personage, Ish bites into the grass gem. The ensuing crunch echoes through the gemstone just as thoroughly as through Ish's teeth. Ouch, but a little more should free another.
PLAYER TURN 1
"This whole room's dug out! Don't stop rolling, chieftain!!" The Turtonators call out, still down for the count. The rolling Pokemon peels out following Matchia's opener, trying to roll through her with a Body Slam. Leer softens the incoming Shelgon for Fake Out to deal 7 damage...
>>5835359 Kaz is locked in! He's feeling particularly observant and lucky...
>>5835390 Perhaps if his Mud Slap were just slightly colder or more watery...no dice here, though.
>>5835406 The seed catches the Rolling Shelgon right between the scales! He's warped...into a very similar position above Matchia, only facing the wrong direction. He rolls straight back out of the room, Body Slam completely thwarted?!
ENEMY TURN 1
Shelgon has yet to roll back into the room. Despite not taking the physical attack as well, he looks a bit burlier than those Turtonators...

>>5835463 >>5835449 The space around the giant Flying Gem is reinforced. However, being this stretched out is wearing away at Orner's endurance. By next turn, she won't be able to hold onto the walls...
The Space from which the Fire and Grass gems were excavated from haven't gotten any support in a while. Their walls collapse, tumbling around Espurr and Darius for 6 damage. Sudden;ly, the entire chamber rumbles-it's not long before the whole place comes down, Shelgon's entry and all.
Cubone and all others choosing to do so make their retreat, noting the suddenly unstable room...It won't be long before it's not safe for anyone to be anywhere in here.
ENEMY TURN 3
Shelgon has rolled back into the chamber and peels out to the Normal Gem to use Body Slam on Espurr...

(10/21 HP)
They watch as others leave, only a few of the groups previous number remain. Espurr chooses to stand their ground so they can buy a moment to escape without risk of getting caught running.
They retrieve a scoop of Chargestone Dust and scatter it horizontally in the air, hissing at the Shelgon and beckoning it to try attacking again.

Mohka, Spike, otherwise forgotten Turtonators, A winded Orner, Sagira, and Wallis make their exit.
>>5835522 >>5835521 Twelve more damage is dealt to Shelgon, slightly over his tolerance. He hangs back, unwilling to chase the adventurers and fight further. He merely braces his hard shell for the incoming rockfall...
