It's been a long day...You've awoken after that dreadfully fruitless disease investigation with an attempted infanticide and trekked and battled your way through the heart of Air Continent's cultural identity with that massive offering...only to find your home set ablaze. Very few of you may recall any time you've been so exhausted, save that walk from the forest. With any luck, this will be the last anyone has to deal with fire for a long time. Out of the corners of your views, you catch well organized Pawniards and Bisharp battling other Pokemon terrorizing Baram and protecting/herding innocents. The activity and panic isn't roaring quite like it was when you first enterred town, so it seems like for once a rare moment of peace is upon you all. It would be an understatement to say you've all gone above and beyond your limitations to enact all three rescues from the burning Château. It's hard to say you've felt so alive and so dead at the same time-to reflect your efforts... All participarts in the last three sessions will receive Experience equal to their current level x 10! Plus 33%, for those at or under level 9. Having witnessed the spectacle of Oceanic Operetta as some of you regroup, a few Pokemon are on their way over to you all as you catch your breaths...

So they rest in the shade until they've recuperated some, or one decides to assist them.

They would appreciate healing. How gracious of Orner to make such a declaration. And the offer of Oran Leaves is quite satisfying. They're a lot better off than before.
(11/21 HP)
There's a peculiar look in their eyes as they consume the Leaves.
>>5893418 Then they look towards Skitty. What a coincidence. She hadn't seemed very interested in them when they first woke up. If their memory isn't failing them, Skitty had gotten further from them after they were injured.
Though, it's difficult to blame her...
Espurr seems alright now. They won't suffer any lasting damages. A dark but slight stain of blood above their eye has already begun to fade as rub their head. The Berry Leaves have helped significantly.

Sagira takes a shuddering breath as her body adjusts to being back on dry land and inhaling actual air.

She offers it to Ishmael.

>>5893465 >>5893471 >>5893483 "Just being back in here is-" She drops the train of thought. Littering the room are novels' worth of paper scraps, all soaked to uselessness and filled to the margins with unreadable text. If getting dragged around the rubble is painful, she doesn't say so. "We have so much work to do..." Cress's face is buried in her hands, however little she can move them with her injuries.

Or at least, they would, but they had plenty of time to think before just moments ago when Orner and Skitty came to them. Skitty can tell with relative ease that something is on their mind waiting to be addressed, but it'd be a strange sight to see them reveal much of anything to anyone.
Espurr tries to stand, doing so without much effort. Electing for a four-legged stance, they brush against and past Skitty before standing upright and looking on at the smoke in the air just beginning to dissipate. This attack wasn't on the Chateau alone, but they don't care all too much for how the others in town are faring.
The Chateau, meanwhile...
It's troubling, but Espurr isn't certain as to if the group will be able to remain here for much longer. Then again, they haven't seen the inside...
What are your thoughts on this?

>>5893477 >>5893501 >>5893506 Cress's despairful musings are cut cut off by the Oran Berry in her mouth. "Oka-HUAGH"
It does a lot to kill the dour atmosphere she's exuding.
"...Once I am recovered enough, Team Stylish will venture as a group, and nothing like this will happen to us again[choke]. If you can hold yourselves in a time like this, there may be hope for you yet...oww..."
Her body's still battered to paralysis, for now, but the oran's effects are tangible.
>>5893519 >>5893495 >>5893498 He shakes his head. "I needed your help here today more than any I've gotten as long as I can remember. It's times like these when goodwill finds its way back to us all, y'see? Would you have been here to save my little Drifter if we kicked you out into the wilderness that one night?"
He sighs and leans back.
"...or D'you think I coulda saved myself this trouble if I made Drakloak and his friends leave this morning...?"
That part seemed more directed at Cubone than Brook or Mohka...

He looks up, searching for the Draklok from the previous battle.
Cubone (Lv. 10)
>>5893522 Cubone seems to register this as a dig, wincing.

>>5893543 >>5893536 Most of the wreckage some of the ceiling structure has collapsed into highly focused corners of each room. The jetstreams look to have forced all the furniture and foods into the walls at their direction of pressure when Oceanic Operetta gave way. The entire building is significantly damaged compared to when the ghosts turned their attention to Primarina, but it may or may not strike you that saving the Château wasn't the point of that Z move, seeing the pair of seals on the way in/out.
The building is...arguably stable, but with all of this water damage it may need rebuilding anyway.
>>5893546 >>5893544 >>5893526 >>5893533 While the rest of you reconvene, Primarina points Cubone to the side of the building, where most of the un-KOed others lie.

He scooches toward the seafront, his shiny partner in tow.
Where Prim pointed, are Surface Skipper, an immobilized Shuppet or two, and Ludicolo wandering aimlessly around a still sleeping Drakloak. Evan's passenger is trying to drift towards the others and away from Wallis's yelling, but his vines still have a solid grip. Drak'll awaken soon, but he's still doused in water and Scrappy powder.

Kaz is pricked for 3 damage.
There's a storm of emotion brewing in the Froakie. He's still reeling from the second sight of his mother attacking him; it's the only discernible thought in his mind among the raw feeling. You get rather little from the dive, because they become overwhelming almost as soon as you identify them. What you feel through him is a torrent of ever present pinpricks, as if your nerves have been opened and can feel a distinct jolt from every blade of grass or gust of wind on your fur. The sensation blots out your vision, scrambling it into something not unlike a milk painting, or a screensaver you've stared into for far too long in a dark room. Every trace of perception demands your full attention until another sense steals it away only a fraction of a second later, each with its own unpredictable sting or jab. The only thing you're certain of is that any of it could be hazardous...in fact, it feels like the very ground you stand on is rearing up to attack you.
<span class="mu-i">Am I alone here? No...</span>
Spike takes 4 damage.
>>5893638 >>5893646 Froakie, between his youth and the fall he took earlier isn't prepared for anything resembling a strong hit. He's down for the count.
>>5893653 >>5893639 Shuppet's crying now. Not uncommon for Pokemon, but this is a little uncanny...
Drakloak, still coated in powder can't move at all. Not even enough for a basic attack, and he looks more than incensed by this. These Pokemon <span class="mu-i">really</span> don't like being detained.
There may be enough Pokemon infected here to call some outside force in...

Guildmaster
You've given yourself some time to recover since the events of the Chateau's destruction and have set forth to set your mind to other things. A creeping feeling of paranoia does settle within your minds. Had the warnings been true? Was that truly it? Was there more to come? They bubble into your head like worms. Regardless, you've been given a task in order to get a "favor," from the Guild League affiliated Sneasel. It has you trekking far out and long from your normal confines within the boundaries of Baram Town, following a simple highway. It's a cobbled path, maintained by the clans, you assume. This must be a popular route, since occasionally you can see other travelers meandering along at their own paces. As a handful of days pass and nights fade, you find an entrance to a strange little crossroads of a town. From what you can see, it's no bigger than Baram Town. Checking your wonder maps, it doesn't look like it's entirely relevant to your quest other than a simple rest stop. In fact, it's telling you to go the other way. You look for a name, eventually settling on a printrune signpost... "Pokémon Square." She said to meet here when you were done... You make a mental note and continue on. Chapter 9: Old Stories Stumbling upon the cave isn't too difficult. From what you can see, someone had been here before, although their time was brief and dated. It only appears as if they chose to mark the place and move on.

Guildmaster
>>5897935 >>5897952 >>5897954 It's slow at best, and the slick feeling of whatever damp thing had been growing between this gap is getting to you. Gross! Meanwhile, Brook joins up with Evan and can feel that this is deceptively smaller than he'd hoped. His fur quickly loses its natural volume and sticks to his body. However, he's not thrown off by the uneasy feelings. His speed is limited only by Evan's own. Angus joins in, finding that his own naturally water-resistant feathers help, but they get damp and soaked very quickly due to the compact conditions.
Sail keeps amazing pace with the other three in the crack, almost as if his body lacks bones.
There are four members currently shimmying their way through here. After a couple of minutes of claustrophobia-inducing fear, the four of you stumble into a dark cubby. It's pitch black.
>>5897936 >>5897937 Mohka can see that no light is slipping through this crack. Kaz, meanwhile, can recognize that punching it to make it larger definitely won't help anyone. It would require a very precise tool to chip out, rather than blunt-force. It's probably also a good idea to not do that while someone has already entered.
>>5897967 Looking around, there are no other entrances, no matter how much you can hope you might find one, just out of sheer luck.
>>5897968 >>5897970 You skip past the small crack in the wall, not entirely interested in heading in. Turning right, your source of illumination still with you, you can see four pillars holding up the ceiling of a deliberately designed hallway.

>>5898042 Spike takes the opportunity and carefully climbs across, making sure not to put too much pressure on the freshly created holds. He lands on the other side.
>>5898047 >>5898069 At least she'll land upright! Skitty might have cat-like reflexes, but the touch of humanity is still strong. Her misplaced weight causes the mud to slip off the wall, along with her. There's the sensation of sudden gravity as she begins to plummet. Wallis manages to blast Skitty with a Mud Shot, trapping the cat by the tip of her pink tail.
While it hurts, falling down any further definitely is not much better. Skitty precariously dangles four feet from the pathway's level.
>>5898068 Cubone manages a great running start, his footfalls fighting against the wet cave floor. With a hopeful leap, he barely manages to cross the gap and scrambles for a grip as he strikes the lip of the broken hall. Huffing, he climbs over, successfully making it across.
>>5898072 >>5898094 >>5898106 Sagira sighs.
Kaz strikes the pillar at its base, causing it to crack further, and Dustin just... punches it. A jet of dust covers the area as it slips from its foundation, rolling and pinning a way across. The mossy stone doesn't look easy to use, but if you're slow, you should be fine. Mohka holds the pillar in place. Everyone holds their breath to see if the cave decides that was reckless...
Nothing happens, thankfully.
>>5898051 >>5898055 >>5898061 >>5898075 The darkness is not helping either of them. Angus can only inspect the object as much as he can get a feel for it. It seems to be bumpy like stone, with a layer of moisture on its surface. It seems... smooth in other parts. The object is firmly embedded in the wall.
Brook gets a small glimpse of their surroundings with the weak red light, which he deduces that there must be some kind of growth covering the walls. It goes out shortly.
Sail can find that the ramp has been worn by water, and it's almost like a slide. Thankfully, he can get up. Closer, his horn senses that there might be a crawlspace out here to escape.
Meanwhile, there are two rooms ahead for Cubone and Spike to inspect.

>>5898117 >>5898134 >>5898142 >>5898150 >>5898154 Wallis waddles her way past the gap with the pillar bridge, hopping down on the other side. Joined shortly by the rest, everyone carefully walking on the makeshift path.
>>5898118 Katherine chooses to investigate the walls. Light has already been provided by Espurr. Regardless, she can tell that some parts had been chipped off and filled in with different materials to smooth the entrance. Plant life covers the hall, covering and wearing away what had been once intricate work on the interior.
>>5898144 Spike can feel his ghostly heart beating as he awkwardly and slowly slides down closer to Skitty's troublesome level. He's down here now... but how to get both himself and the cat in question back up?
>>5898156 Sagira crosses and looks over the ledge. "Can you maneuver your tail?" she asks. "Or is not prehensile?"
>>5898125 >>5898127 >>5898159 Either it's been jammed shut by the years left without use, or it's not actually a lever. Trying to grasp the whole thing makes you think it wasn't ergonomically designed to be one. If you had any kind of light, it would be easier to identify... did it just make a cracking noise?
Brook manages to get a good grip as he climbs up. There's a very slight breeze coming from up here. Perhaps this could be a way out.
Sail is able to determine that it's nearby, somewhere at the top of the ramp. This is a compact hole, but it doesn't quite compare to the one you used to enter.
>>5898164 Cubone peers into the side room, to find it devoid of anything... helpful. It's a small space, hollowed out for something. Creeping inside, you can see that there are remnants here. Broken chips of something. Perhaps it might be of interest to this mystery researcher.

...Espurr remains where they stand, Flashing every few seconds to get another look at the details written onto the walls. What's on them means nothing to them, but the familiar environment is reminding them of something they can't imagine but can remember. They want to see it again, but they can't, it's gone. The closest thing they have to it is this room, archaic depictions of potentially-historic battles lain everywhere they look, and the metal fixture which could so easily be something else, something they'd rather be looking at. They wish what they were seeing was planets instead. They wish their head would stop hurting. They wish things were different.
They do nothing, continuing to Flash intermittently as they get lost in the atmosphere of the room, allowing Orner
>>5898250 , Sail
>>5898266 , and anyone else present to inspect whatever they want.
Espurr is still.

He stares up at them... they clearly speak to him more than he lets on, his soured mood vanishing briefly. Though he scans the rightmost end of the painting with far more detail, he looks around at anyone else. "...Do you recognize any of these Pokemon?" he asks, feeling he may have an idea if nobody else does.
Guildmaster
>>5898249 Angus, having escaped a tiny room of darkness, immediately is immersed by light. Covering his eyes as he adjusted to his sudden flashbang of surroundings, he deduces that this entire area used to be something greater. A running gash opens up to the outside, allowing light to flood in. Boxy shapes with identifiable entrances... a settlement?
>>5898250 >>5898277 The metal, in the dark, could easily be mistaken for some kind of ceremonial ceiling fixture. However, with Espurr's Flash, you can quickly tell that it's shaped purposefully to do something. You're not sure what. It does seem to align with that gap off to the left.
Brook can see that, from a different perspective, it might be angling to grab the light and project it somewhere in the room. It must be too rusted to do that, however.
>>5898266 The paintings detail the adventure of two heroes, recording many different events and triumphs or failures. The largest of all the paintings feature strange creatures of old, found across far-flung places. From right to left, it ends with a massive painting of a great golem holding up something huge, with the same two heroes waiting below.
>>5898252 >>5898260 >>5898269 >>5898275 Kaz holds himself perilously over the edge, willing to act as a living rope to get the two back up. Mohka stands nearby, holding and acting as the anchor for the Kubfu. Wallis concentrates on causing what water can be manipulated. A slight jolt allows the mud to weaken and for the two to get a boost as they leap on up, grappling with Kaz.
With a sense of relief, everyone's managed to get back up.
Sagira nods. "How do you feel?"
>>5898267 If you're staring at Espurr, this might get distracting.
Guildmaster
>>5898266 >>5898285 They're not Pokemon one might easily recognize, although some of their features seem... familiar. Had they been incorporated into printrune? At the very beginning of the story, you can see a cracked image of... something. The wall is crumbling, but you can still make it out.

>>5898302 >>5898317 It doesn't manage to turn into a thin cleaning stream, it does become some kind of water-infused brush, buzzing away as it cleans enough of the metal fixture to return some of its original sheen. Cubone quickly finishes it off and removes the last of the rust. The metal has had some parts eaten and destroyed... but...
With most of it cleaned now, a majority of the light reflects and bounces around its specific shape, aimed directly at the first painting of the two heroes and the strange creature. You can see the wall looks ready to crumble with how many spider-webbing cracks dance around it.

All three of you end up at the most intact structure, containing a painting scrubbed almost entirely away by the unceasing march of time. It implies that you would want to do something to where the light touches... but nothing more identifiable than that.

>>5898382 With a punch with the perfect amount of force, the cracked wall shudders backward, falling over. It lands loudly with a thunk, revealing a hidden room right behind it.

Bonus points, the painting containing the stick figure and two heroes remains surprisingly intact.

The hidden chamber doesn't have much contained within it. It's sparsely decorated, in relation to being sealed for who-knows-how-long behind a painted mural. Light trickles in from behind all of you as you inspect the find. There are tablets here, written in... ancient printrune? Even for the natives, this might be hard to read, interspersed with symbols wholly unfamiliar to both sides...
There are stone vases here, crumbling, but still mostly together. Peering through one of them reveals two strange little objects settled at the bottom.
Objects of interest:
>Quest Item, Ancient Tablet pile >Quest Item, Wooden Carving... Revavroom? >Quest Item, Wooden Carving... Cycloptic Voltorb? >>5898417 "They were... unique," Sagira says, slowly, as she dredges up a memory. "Thinking was never their first thought."

>>5898433 Of course she did. Orner never misses anything, especially not of or relating to cats.
They aren't certain they could explain it to her, even if they spoke. Maybe it'd be wise to take her up on the sarcastic offer... but it wouldn't be the same.
Maybe they really were just being entirely unreasonable for once. It's good to have someone to keep yourself in check, isn't it?

It's been almost a full week since the Subsumed Château's burning, and you've all since returned from your outing to Sneasel's ruins. Baram has mostly returned to normal function. The air about the place seems...different, however. Fewer shoppers bustle in the main square, conversants are quicker to return to their business and retreat home, and it's not uncommon to see pedestrians looking over their shoulder despite uneventful evenings.
That all being said, news of the strange travelers' intention to revive innkeeper Primarina's place of business to its former glory has somehow spread, and is making waves. After all the sympathy he's shown, it simply doesn't sit right with (most of) you to turn tail and leave him to solve his homelessness. He's a popular Pokemon, so Favor for the endeavor is universal-except among some of your friends. This may be quicker and easier than you thought, if the discourse turns into volunteering...

It's agreed on that professionals are better left to their craft-and undisturbed.That leaves you all free to work on building materials...Where to source from? Cress explains...
"There are viable expanses of both hard and softwoods upshore. Some Pokemon from town are willing to supply stone and...adhesive to build with, though there may be a catch, if we aren't the ones paying for them...oh, there's one of them right now."
Cress points out an ash-gray Haxorus, leveling the remains of your old home. His execution is almost as quick as the go-ahead order; it's less like he's in the middle of a careful demolition operation and more like he's clearing the space just by walking through it, with his tusks and tail. The structure loudly buckles and folds like a sand castle with multiple others carrying loads of waste, but he's clearly the star of the show. It's already down to half its original height! "Elm Chopper, I think it was..."
So...What to build this new place from?

Cress is going.
The collective strength of those heading out can be summed up in 7 attack points. Cress, unable to bear weight for such a long travel is only leading, as well. You've been supplied with a wagon so the number of trips you'll be making isn't truly torturous, but it sure is an endeavor.
You're not experts, so it won't be true timber you're bringing back until Elm Chopper and his crew can get to it, but your labors bear fruit. Kaz, Cress, Matchia, Mohka, Brook, and Katherine will all be returning with a stack of two sticks each on top of their wood-hauls.
>>5901747 "It's not an inn anymore, just a safety hazard. And I don't really have the money or power to rebuild all of this myself...So it's real cool that you can take time offa your club to help me out. Thank you." He bows.
He's pulled from that thought when he sees one last cask being carried away from the sight of destruction. No freebies in this one, save a grassy Orb. it's just full of more powder.
"Oh, Drifting Leaves was working with a partner from out of town-if they really learned something about the disease, you might be able to get it off of him. I think he was a...Croagunk? Oooh, hold on." He squirms over to some of the help toting it off. "Don't throw this away, I need as much as possible!"
Well, that's a nugget of information. Seen a Croagunk around?
Anyway, if there's something new you'd like to see installed in your base of operations, now's the time to discuss...

Enough material is leaking from that cask to gather a sizeable portion to use on...something. Probably not yourself, given your movepool.
So it's agreed that the second floor should be reserved for rooms, while those on the first floor could be eschewed for other pleasures and utilities. Space for a main lobby, more for a recreational room, yet more for storage, a private meeting room will demand soundproofing, stone to seat heating mechanisms for a sauna, and a more hidden space for emergencies. It can all be managed thanks to that side building attached to the bar's first floor. Yes, most of your interests are relayed to those working at the remains swiftly enough, but there are still details to work out.

Quoted By:
All suggestions point toward the saferoom being located under a horizontal door-one nobody would find without prior knowledge. The meeting room, all have agreed to or settled on being placed in the first floor. A dedicated theater wouldn't be without its niches, and would even pull in more customers for little building expense!...It's forgone anyway to spare the world from the Château's most prominent "performer". You've done a good thing, but made a certain Mightyena <span class="mu-i">very</span> sad. Over the next few days, the gatherers alternate spending their time in the woods a daypart's trek away and in Baram dropping their deliveries. Meanwhile, all get used to the sound of Katherine barking orders or an occasional helping hand from the locals or...Clan Elders? Should they still be here so long after that prayer ritual? And it sounds like you could find a lead if you get access to that Croagunk or Drifting Leaves. Days pass swiftly, and the small talk reaching you improves passively without any reason, seemingly. Townfolk are happy or thankful seeing you all work so hard, the Syndrome's infection rate, while slowing down after the fire ended seems to have stopped completely in Baram starting a few days ago, and your new home is coming together without a hitch. Before you know it, the foundation and structure is all in place, and two weeks have passed. There are even days on which Elder Elm Chopper's mons can take over fully while you all endeavor on missions. All that's left now is to furnish the place with utilities and features, though those may not come so quickly. Goodwill can only buy so much that money cannot, so for the time being you're still sleeping at the Shore Thing. You can't help but notice a little extra pomp in Primarina's step though, not to mention how much more time he spends outside that infirmary between the piers and hotel... The work itself is long and tiring, but not so strenuous as to impede your rest. All participants tonight may recover 9 HP and take 5 EXP, whether their contributions were labor or otherwise. There's still so much work ahead of you, but something about being able to take the time for this passion project feels like a victory before it's even complete. Baram feels just a little more lively, at least.

>>5898467 In between the weeks of the Château being reconstructed, you realize there's quite a bit of downtime where your presence isn't particularly efficient. With a group decision, you decide to make the trip across the Air Continent's main highway once more. A few days pass during the short journey, and your group makes the turn toward the crossroad town. It's an idyllic place resting near the water, but much smaller than Baram's windy slopes. That doesn't mean it isn't a hotspot for weary travelers on their journey across the vast stretches of clan-controlled and wild territory. All things considered, Pokémon Square isn't all that square.
You find many traveling carts and bag-wielding 'mons, all looking for their own slice of rest. A lot of conversation to overhear... and probably ignore.

Guildmaster
>>5905699 >>5905725 You leave the main premises of the square, heading off to the cliffside where a Pelipper-shaped building resides. You can see a Pelipper departing just now, taking off and away into the vast sky above the ocean. There's a board here, with requests, along with some statues of (what you can only assume) prominent 'mons from the area.
Someone familiar is already waiting for you there, checking her claws. "Heh. Got something for me?" she asks. "Thought you all got, 'heh', lost."
>>5905702 >>5905710 >>5905716 >>5905721 >>5905726 >>5905737 >>5905752 You watch a Pikachu and Mudkip depart somewhere... but no Sneasel.
"Always great to see new faces!" Purple exclaims.
"Looking to buy? Of course, you are! Or sell. Sometimes it's that," Green mentions. These two sound different from the only other pair you've met.
You take a look at the wares and items available to you...
Kecleon's Items:
>Vibrant Herb - 750P >Renewal Herb - 500P >Spicy Seed - 450P >Sitrus Leaf x4 - 100P ea >Huge Apple - 100P Kecleon's Wares:

You can hear the sounds of training contained within the walls, followed by boisterous words of encouragement.
>>5905727 "Welcome, welcome. Felicity Bank is here to jealously guard all the things you value. How may I help you, stranger?" the Persian asks, smiling.
>>5905711 The houses are quaint, built simply and out of wood and dried plant material. It's not as ornate as the homes back at Baram, most likely because the square might not be as huge of a traveling hub. There are headhouses here, dotted around and some, you can spy just outside the perimeter of the village. No Sneasel, though.
>>5905712 >>5905731 With a rush of calming water, you can see a small crowd gathered around a Whiscash, listening to a tale of old. Or something. With the dramatic flair and movements, you suspect they might be embellished to impress the younger audience.

Cubone (Lv. 10)
>>5905872 "I see... my thanks, nonetheless." Cubone gets up, not intending to interrupt story time with unrelated speech any further. He has a job to do now.
>>5905843 Well, Cubone's not any closer to finding out where to look first... if he had to guess, it'd be somewhere public, so not any of the houses, and he can see it's not one of the open stalls like the bank, storage, or shops... and he was just at the pond, and Sneasel wasn't there either. Making a random guess, he heads to Makuhita Dojo.
>Makuhita Dojo Guildmaster
>>5905845 >>5905854 It's a colorful stand, featuring primarily yellows, golds, and oranges. From its design, it actually evokes a better sense of a calming sunset than anything bee-related. A Vespiquen rests on a lounging chair just underneath the shade of the structure, joined by a pair of Combee, hovering around. "Oh, hello, little larvae. Interezzzted in zzzeeking a break from the wear of life? Yezzz? I know many placezzz that are great. Zzzome near, zzzome far."
>>5905850 >>5905860 >>5905861 >>5905864 >>5905868 Sneasel shakes her head, still grinning. "'Haha.' Glad I'm the one who gets to sit here and wait. Find 'em or don't."
>>5905875 "Hi, Spite. I'm Rags. You live around here? I'm just cleaning up until my pack can get back."
>>5905859 >>5905890 "Makuhita's the name, this dojo here's my game! You up to not get your rear handed to you on a silver platter, eh! Well, this is the place to get some licks in for practice. Any of the personal services will cost you, but feel free to chat around and start a fight if you'd like. Just don't break things too hard. That'll cost you, too."
Cubone can see Darius stumbling around outside.
>>5905872 >>5905857 "We can only wonder what lush lands surround this ancient tree, and how it may look as the clouds bow to its majesty. Perhaps one day, adventurers such as yourselves might be able to witness it and tell me, so that I may regale your tales for many more seasons to come."
The younger 'mons excitedly chatter between themselves, enamored with the idea that they might be the first to discover and brave such a wonder.
He seems to have stopped talking for now.
>Ask about the ruins you found...? >>5905880 "You're talking about my brother's branch over there in Baram. You can always visit Felicity, Austerity, and Sincerity, to find your savings guarded quite jealously," she purrs. "How may I be of service?"

To that fine establishment she goes, in search of the Kubfu. "Kaaaaaz...! You around here?" she yowls from outside.
Guildmaster
>>5905915 "Well, if it's an account you're after, it's free of charge. Now... a premium account, we charge a 500P fee, but you'll have some perks over our standard offering," she says, sorting out some papers.
>>5905916 >>5905940 Makuhita nods. "Yup. I got a thing or two under this head of mine that I could teach. I know a couple of other 'mons who're willing to take up the job for a price. Some of them don't take the coins, though."
He turns to Cubone. "A Sneasel? I think I saw one back at the Post Office. Looked all official and stuff."
>>5905917 >>5905937 >>5905927 Vespiquen looks over to the Combee and whispers something. The little Bee whispers back. "Hmmm, Blozzom has not zzzeen a 'mon like that around here. Perhapzzz you can go to the Pozzzt Offizzze. Many adventurerzzz go there, yezzz?" The Vespiquen herself, stretches, before buzzing her wings to stand upright. "For a good payment, I can arrange tranzzzport to many different plazzzezzz. Many different wayzzz, too. I cater to the wild or to the calm."
She pushes a map onto the table. "Many locationzzz to meet your needzzz."
You can see that there are some spots that are strangely unique and quite out there. You're not sure how you would want to be vacationing in a swamp full of poison and strange plants. That one right there looks perpetually on fire...
>>5905947 >>5905918 >>5905926 "What do I know? I'm not the one 'haha' actually interested in them. My friend could tell me more once I get everything back to them." She shrugs. "'Haha.' So in short: it's not in my job description."
Sneasel laughs as she watches the dragon walk up. "'Haha.' I said artifacts, not take an entire wall." She walks over and leans forward to inspect the recovered piece. "But this will do, 'haha.' They'll like this one. No need to leave that dusty library of theirs..."
>>5905923 The crowd turns to look at Espurr as Whiscash considers their question. "Now... I've never heard of a ruin like that before. Have you been inside? They can be quite dangerous, I must warn, but you might learn great things from them. Little Espurr, have you learned from it?"
>>5905924 "It's nothing special," Rags comments, pushing away some dirt. "You rough it up in the wilds, huh? Wonder how that's like. This right here isn't all that much, but it's warm and familiar."

"I found old inscriptions. Stories of things I did not know." They ponder his question for a moment.
They didn't look into what they saw as much as the others did. They were too caught up in taking in what they THOUGHT they were looking at.

"If this isn't all just actual dusty junk, 'haha,' sure. We might meet again sooner than later." Sneasel walks over to the mural and makes a metallic ring with her clashing claws. "Hey! Secure this and take it back to the landing!" she shouts at somewhere.

"It reminded me of the stars, the same way the sky wraps around the world at night." They pause. Espurr saw this sight recently, and yet they have trouble remembering what it looked like. "...Stars, some sort of mechanism in the center. It... lit up a dark space with light." Thinking about it, trying to imagine it, brings them a dull ache in their head, behind their eyes, between their ears. "It brought with it the reminder of someone significant all around."
That's the best description they can give.

They just don't want to explain multiple times that they are capable of speech and simply elected not to for the past several weeks the group has known them.

She sticks out her tongue, then looks to Angus as her twintails twitch.

Espurr feels odd about the... praise? They've seldom experienced such a thing. It's a strange feeling. Perhaps a little familiar. Is this shame, or pride?
They bow their head. A figure of wisdom who commands respect giving such respect to another isn't something to be forgotten or disregarded. They appreciate this.

He clears his throat.
"They say long ago, the great legends of the earth and the sea clashed, a fury so great that it shook the skies awake. Raging and battling, they tore the land and ocean asunder. Such a battle had roused our Protector, Lord Rayquaza, to settle such a disastrous dispute. However, something like this could not be resolved in a single day, nor the damage already done."
Raising a fin, he cut across the water like a blade.
"The continents had been whole once! But they had been shattered and threatened to fall back into the great seas! Forests drowned and reefs flattened!" Whiscash exclaimed. "Panic and fear spread like a fire through a badly tended grove. What could the 'mons do? Lord Rayquaza could not stop the titans and save the slipping continents. It seemed all hope was to be lost."
The crowd murmured, distraught.
Guildmaster
>>5907587 "However, when the oceans would soon claim its bounty, two heroes stepped up, promising to help. But how could these two, no stronger than you or I, save the vast lands? Well, you see, they had a thought. If they could accomplish this one task, as hopeless as it seemed, there was a chance it could save everyone.
You see, there exists a colossus, with the strength to push whole mountains. It was so tall, it could grasp the clouds! It was responsible for bringing the single continent together. Perhaps, if they could get its help, it could do so again. But such strength required long slumber, and it rested somewhere, hidden. This did not deter them, and so they set off, chasing rumors. These two heroes discovered it left a trail of its own creations to watch its machinations.
Somehow, they found the first, in the heart of a glittering mountain. A golem of steel. It told them to search the raging clouds, to find the calm in the storm. And so, they found the golem of lightning, who soon told them to search the maw of the world, to seek the will to remain undefeated. And so, they found the golem of dragons, who told them to venture deep into the frigid wastes, to strengthen their form. And so, they found the golem of ice, who said to travel deep below, to break away the chains of time. And so, they found the golem of earth, awaiting their arrival. All the golems and the two heroes cracked the seal.
The ground shook, but it did not fall. From the slumber and the earth, the great colossus rose once more. While it could not fix what had been done, the colossus placed all the 'mons onto its back and lifted the broken lands back up, letting each 'mon to choose where they wanted to live. Divided, but safe. It was not the outcome they hoped, but life could continue. This is why the continents are the way they are now."
Many of the younger 'mons made noises of interest and understanding, while some of the adults nodded. Fascinating creation lore...

It's been a while, hasn't it? A lot has happened since everyone's last mass outing. Between all of you going about your business, there's a rescue here, a visiting hero from another continent there, and more! But none of it bears repeating now. Since the Subsumed Château has been mostly rebuilt, it's time to set your sights on solving the mystery of Twilight Syndrome once and for all-starting with the meteorite that landed after the prayer at the Dragonhymn. Just what might you learn? You'd have to get there in person to find out... So you venture to the North end of the land in pursuit; It's a days-long trek, but at least there are plenty of adequate places and travelers with which to find interesting foods and sound rest. The uneventfulness allows you all to recover to full health. You're met with -naturally- the entrance to a mystery dungeon. The Shoot Stretches, everyone around here calls them. Errant nomads you've crossed on your way have all pointed in this direction when asked about the celestial body from so long ago. No craters or glowing stones anywhere surrounding the place, so it must be inside! Tall, smooth rocky faces line the entrance, but they almost seem like decoration with the way they contrast the dark, loamy soil under your footsteps. It's vibrant and cushions you almost like irrigated soil. Perfect for growing things, like the sky high bamboo stalks greeting you on arrival...

It takes an honest, full look upwards to see the tops, too. it must be a solid 20 feet up to the tops of them...anyway, it takes a solid hit just to splinter the thing enough to break off a piece. It doesn't break down the shoot.
The stuff itself is crunchy and tough, somewhere between a turnip and celery.
>>5922862 >>5922868 There's a sign in printrune, the text fairly simple. It reads "the growth within is special. Please do not harm the plants." A Luxray between it and the entrance yawns and watches you not unlike a guard. Her exploration badge sits on her forehead.
On the other side, you can see that the Bamboo is too thick to look through. Some of the tallest shoots stretch high into the sky-with clear burns and holes in their mass. They're all together still, so if the dungeon hasn't moved them, then that should mark the center of the place.
>>5922876 That's faces as in facades, not literal faces.
The Luxray follows you inside, drowsy and quickly losing pace with you. "Explorers, are you? Mind if I see your badges...? I've gotta track anyone who steps in here."
Before you can get too far in, the shoots are swiftly becoming far too thick and dense to travel through. They're a little too thick and rigid for sidling past them to be an option-at least, but muscle strength alone. And it's only their growing density in the distance compared to what you've passed that saves you from already being lost.

Her voice is scratchy and slow, like she's not quite ready for anything strenuous for another hour or two. Bags under the eyes, too. "Hmhm! You guys must be rookies! If you're not looking for bamboo, there's no 'guiding' to be done in a mystery dungeon. The layout changes every time you step inside. That being said, this looks like one of the plainer ones. If you're here for that star that fell, It should be in the center; just keep going in the direction that gets more annoying...mmmnngh..." She yawns."We used to keep ruffians out and from harvesting the shoots before we can send them to Sand Continent...S'real important, since it's our only contact with those recluses...But now it's just me, so all I can do is count everyone who comes in and bill 'em if I find evidence of damage or harvesting.
"...What are cops? Meh. Let me know if someone takes a bite outta <span class="mu-i">you</span> and I'll count it, just fer something to do." She smiles.
"Liokio uses the bamboo-only what grows in this dungeon-in some spiritual ritual of theres...mmm...something about empowering the body to transform? It sounds made up to me, but who am I...mmmnnngh."
She yawns for a second time in 30 seconds. "...But a Pokemon that inconveniences you. So yeah, you all can do your business, everyone around here is too busy to look at a fallen star and take it all the way back to the Council, I'm just here to penalize damage to anything important. I'll do my rounds once yer gone..." She readies an Escape Orb.

>>5922961 >>5922976 >>5922975 From her description, beyond this wall of green sure is the only way to go toawrds anything of interest, but for as far as you can see the growth is presenting the same blockade. No way around...but the tops of these shoots are being stirred by the wind! They should be easier to manipulate towards the top.
>>5922963 >>5922968 Darius has a path forward, followed by Orner. Is this the beginning of a beuatiful new friendship? An unlikely story of two enemies finding common ground in an undeniable love of digging and burrowing?
>>5922967 Mohka bats a stalk straight to the ground! It falls with a thunderous crack! For once, the guard snaps to full attention...and again, when the "bamboo stalk" reveals two trios of red balls its...branches(?) hidden on its other side. It's only about as tall as Mohka, too. The thing gets up on the legs it has and runs away. There's an opening for you, and it looks like there's enough time and space for one other to pass behind you before the shoot that thing was holding onto snaps back into place.
>>5922975 >>5922981 >>5922971 Cress beckons to the three of them. "We need to get a move on., and it looks like these plants would be easier to navigate at the top..." She stares at the three of you for an uncomfortable length of time in silence. "If you would like a foothold while I climb, I could make a significant portion of the trip up for some of you, if you are light enough.
>>5922970 Wallis...Doesn't get over the peak! She catches onto a shoot about 2/3 of the way up, where it swings back and forth with just her weight! Rather than acting like walls, they're much lighter at the top; they simply slide past her when the bamboo stalk bumbs into another with its leaning.
>>5922965 That pliability isn't working so hard in Ishmael's favor. As his footholds get higher, they lose their solid structure. He only makes it about halfway up before he's forced to abandon Quick Attack and climb the rest of the way up. Ten feet of a repetitive structure that wears on the same muscles, Ish is tired.
>>5922979 "Nope! I'm watching over a whole mystery dungeon by myself. I'm gonna be as glib as I want it it gets me through another day!"

>>5922964 You feel a little buzzy energy examining them so closely, but it's too faint for any explicit memory of yours. You know it's familiar, though."
"That's-! New. Everyone just steals them...My orders come straight from the Malachite Elder......mmhhhhhhh...so how corrupt am Iiiiii...a shoot for one I'd run you...500P." That should make damaging these sufficiently scary, if it's supposed to undercut the fine of stealing them the normal way...
She's starting to nod off before remembering she has an entrance to get back to.

>>5923049 Espurr wonders how many Pokemon Cress could hypothetically carry before crumbling into a pile of dust. The going rate is looking to be three; Espurr, Sagira, and the Shellder likely still in her bag.
VoL
>>5923012 Not great! You get the distance you're looking for, but you've launched yourself in a high arc-one where you'd land pretty hard if you did so straight against the top. You don't have a good grasp on the bamboo until you've fallen about halfway down the shoots, but that landing's a lot softer than it would've been at the base of the stalks. You take 3 damage. From up here, the terrain ahead looks...annoying, to traverse.
>>5923013 >>5923032 Evan Starts tugging back on a single shoot, freeing Kaz up to climb about halfway up the stalks, where they shift much more comfortably. He passes through, and can get around a lot better than on the ground...meanwhile, the sudden loss of thirty-some pounds means Evan is pulling harder than he needs to-and correcting with this much strain is really difficult. He gives a little too much slack at once, and the bamboo snaps back into place, flinging him far forward. How might he land...?
>>5923039 A little worth noting that it's three Clover Force Members all pulling this maneuver. Wallis is the most graceful of them, landing as far ahead as Ishmael but with a light landing on top.
>>5923049 >>5923043 Oddly enough, the combined weight of these three Pokemon together adds up only to about as much as a small human teenager. less than 100 lbs, with Cress's Lightweight skill. The only obstacles are balance until the shoot is too high up to stabilize without exerting oneself. Cress decides that now is a good time to move horizontally and begins progressing through the forestry before she gets too exhausted...
But Espurr uses the convenience to get all the way to the top himself without any trouble.
>>5923045 Bonk. There's a wall of Bamboo in the way; it's a little too dense and thick to sidle or push past, but may one of you moves could do the trick...
>>5923029 A bold choice!!!! The leaves do a frankly terrible job of clearing a path...until the first one to pierce their skin cuts inside and cleaves through like butter! Some of the fluid within sprays outward onto Katherine. Something washes over you upon feeling it, a sense of understanding of your exact strength and how to to bring the most out of your projectiles...
Katherine experiences +4 to both defenses for the remainder of this outing.
>>5923038 Likewise, Brook's attacks start off as intended...only to feel at ease with his effort once his claws pierce. He can't have much experience climbing like this, and yet it feels old hat; like you've been using Fury Swipes all your life.
For the remainder of this outing, Brook experiences +4 to both offenses, and you ascend to the top without issue. It may cost you later, but maybe the small smile Cress gives you for your independence is worth something. Maybe not.
Topside, there's an Iron Cap, a Sweat Band, and a TM for Aerial Ace resting on top of some of the shoots. Bizarrely enough, the cap only seems to do its thing while you're wearing it...?

>>5923084 The growths blocking Dustin's path forward catch fire as expected. Once they chew through the flesh of the plants however, stalks erupt into pillars of flame. Some others catch too, with the same delayed burn...
Neither her nor there though. At least you have a path forward...
>>5923090 >>5923087 Spryness serves Kaz well here- he follows Evan through the air using the bamboo and ladders and platforms Evan himself manages to catch on a shoot well above ground further into the dungeon, but the landing is a little hard for him to be ready to climb upward. 1 Damage.
>>5923097 >>5923103 With help, the accessory flutters down between you two. It'd help both of you, it's just a matter of who's going to have it...
The rest of you manage to progress forward without complication, or at least more than previously described. It's a little annoying navigating this place, but eventually the stalks and terrain thin out just enough to make out a little island of open space. A pond surrounds the land, making a little moat of itself, and the bamboo stalks soar absurdly high into the air-these must be the ones that meteor marked. Which means you're witnessing the dungeon's pit! It's just a matter of crossing this last expanse of shoots.
...Until the soil begins shifting. It looks like something is moving around underground-and carrying roots with it! The forest of greenery making up your obstacles are all deftly sliding around and past eachother, battering any stones and whatnot caught within their range. It'd be a bad time to up and walk through it, though you could. Knowing the texture of these plants...
Moving from ground level will batter you for 15 damage.
Moving from partway up the stalks will bump you for 8 damage.
And jumping around from the top may throw you around the more pliable tops for 2 Damage. You attempt to climb, but those without speed stat points may not see success.
...Or you can try and deal with whatever is moving these things from underground. From the grouped movements of the plants, there look to be 3 entities digging around at random...
And you can be certain these stalks are just as 'protected' by that explorer Luxray as the others. Be prepared to open your wallets if you plan on slashing and burning your way through.

>>5925443 >Brook looks down with some degree of worry, falling down would end with him getting bashed and slammed by the random movement carrying debris >bringing his gaze back up shows that going straight ahead doesn't seem like a great way either, he'd rather not have to tear into yet more bamboo but it appears as though he doesn't have much of a choice. >even with this new strength it still isn't quite enough >Shaking his head he lets out a snort, before beginning to transfer energy to his limbs but wait what this? >this energy feels....different namely that there's actually some kinda feeling there! Not to mention the white aura being replaced with a light blue one that covers his whole paw rather than only the claws >bringing one of them closer a weak whistling could be heard, and the fur itself is dancing not unlike it were being raised in the air the moment a strong gust had just blown overhead >Brook forgot Scratch and learned Aerial Ace! "AGHHH!"
>with a shout he jumps as high as he can go, but rather than immediately falling prey to gravity a strange light blue wave comes off his paw the second he begins to drop, the way it ripples before settling brings to mind a small stepping stone you'd use to cross a river >it's his first attempt at trying this so hopefully he can balance himself well enough to find safe ground (Rolled a 9)
VoL
>>5925446 >>5925456 >>5925447 ...And that puts all four members of Clover Force on the top routes. Wallis can't quite get a wave going up to her height, but random movements of her perch from the furthest reach of these mysterious Pokemons' digging moves her closer to the center of the danger zone than she was. Ishmael and Evan climb without incident, but the melange throws them between footholds more than a couple times rapidly. They're up to the safest positions, at the cost of 2 health. All that's left for Ish, is to try and engineer a jump across this body of water. He can see a crater letting up a stream of hot-pink smoke from his position...
...While Brook clearly misses a jump between the tops of the shoots. He can see the space between his paw and the edge of his landing...and yet for a split second his paw feels the pressure of solid...air? behind this wave of energy. You've got a split second to react...
>>5925448 Where Evan looked, is merely a dust cloud in the shape of a Kubfu. like a water skeeter moving too deftly to break surface tension, Kaz's footfalls are too light to be influenced by the plants' movements. He's a blur, dashing straight across the end of the field to Ish's position!
>>5925473 It's odd, the unremarkable feeling in your grasp shifts to a full-body encumbrance while the cap's on your head it's a new sensation, distracting enough that you don't realize you've built too much tension in the bamboo. You fling yourself far harder than anticipated, straight past the field and waters ahead of you. Espurr flattens upon landing with 11 damage.
>>5925478 And burn they do! As long as you keep the stream going. They catch comfortably enough to not be obstacles by the time any happen to draw towards you while you cross...
>>5925477 >>5925458 The two of you walk straight through the mess and chaos, armbars and palm strikes bouncing either you or moving hazards away from eachother until you reach safety. It's just a moat between you and the crater at the dungeon's pit now-it's not even deep...
>>5925451 These Pokemon appear to be hunting, and using the bamboo to strike from safety. You get a feel for their sizes, all too large to reasonably expect anything to share space with them underground...not that you can see them. Your plan works for yourself, but...
>>5925457 >>5925460 >>5925476 The Pokemon have time to course correct and converge for a moment. A stony pair of jaws clamps down on Spike from nowhere, dragging him through the dirt. Dig deals 11 ground damage! The Onix surfaces with Spike, flinging him upward. The same happens to Katherine, only with a Torterra. Likewise for Sail and the Dugtrio shoving him, only for 8 Damage.
>>5925486 Orner almost manages a sneak attack onto Sail when he's unearthed by the Dugtrio sliding close! Her Aqua Tail is delayed enough to catch the mole Pokemon beneath him. It vanishes, leaving behind a Shuca Berry.

The Two remaining ferals spend their actions burrowing back underground to relative safely immediately...Their surfacing however, creates a hole in their activity though! Until they begin moving on their next turn, you'll be able to move freely!
Cress tries jumping between poles as she can, hands somewhat tied given her abilities. 8 damage shows the success of her efforts...

>+1 Sea Snake VoL
>>5925522 >>5925542 The water looks serene, actually. Not so much as churning, even. You can step through it effortlessly, only mandating a swim for the middle fifteen feet or so of the trip. You feel the space around you change when you lean forward to investigate; your head is in the dungeon's center, mysteriosity all but gone...
>>5925472 For a split second, Skitty notices movement in her direction from behind-it's another bamboo shoot. However, this one's direction could be compounded with her own, with a trio of jumps fast enough...
You fling yourself back onto the opportune plant to spring it backward, only to jump further off and back on before it can right itself. Your last leap gives you forward momentum in the same direction as the launch, throwing you in an almost completely horizontal line towards the island some of your allies are now reaching.
>>5925525 >>5925535 >>5925538 A hop downward gives Evan just enough weight and leverage to catapult yourself across the expanse. You actually match arcs with Ishmael, soaring at the same height and speed. The both of you successfully land at the island, feet only lightly submerged by the water's very edge.
>>5925540 >>5925537 >>5925547 Wallis and Dustin make their crossings without stress...
>>5925528 Brook manages a wobbly, uncertain step-hop forward onto a safer pole. It feels more than a little surreal, but he's safe!
>>5925527 You feel something course into you from your arms as you make a digging implement of yourself. For a moment, Hone Claws come as naturally to you s the phantasms you've been training since arriving in this world. It feels simple...familiar.
Spike experiences +4 to both offenses for the rest of this outing.

>>5925545 >>5925541 Torterra Digs its way back underground by the time your projectiles fly...but Onix is doubled up on and vanishes quickly. It leaves behind another Shuca Berry...
And the tortoise's movement resumes, restarting the blending of your environment. He controls a lot less space on his own though, meaning Katherine and Sail still in the forest only take 5 damage from the shoots, while Kaz, Brook, and Sagira can simply jump around any shifting hazards. Will you fight? Just run?

Looking up will reveal that some of them were capped by the comet landing, meaning some should be freed and light enough to take home if you care to...A crater in the ground lets a trail of eye-searing pink gas through the air up ahead. You can hear lighthearted chattering coming from within...

All we ask in return is that you two entertain us. Please." His voice sounds not monotonous, but atonal. Scratchy too, like he hasn't used it in a while.

They have no trouble communicating with him telepathically, but that's more due to a unique link between them, not due to anything native to Espurr's power. They're rather inept when it comes to the common things Psychic-Types often do. Would these Pokemon be able to hear their thoughts like he can?

Regardless, Espurr is just the slightest bit annoyed that the Clef doesn't understand what they're saying. Though, how nuanced of a comprehension can you get with the situation being explained to you by an unhelpful cat?
But then they think back to what Bomb told them, and what they learned through meditation. Just because a situation doesn't make sense, or they believe it to be insufficient, doesn't mean they should shut it down immediately. Go about it in a different way, Espurr.
"I would find engaging in such communication difficult due to issues which are prevalent in my perception of myself and others which prevent me from visualizing and comprehending what it is you are telling me."
That's a lot of words to say... not much, without elaboration. Baby steps...
"It would be taxing." Yeah. Skill issue.
