Only Birkal, Its_A_Random, Deck Knight, & any required sub-referees may post in this thread until the completion of the TLR. Any other post made will be deleted, & possibly subjected to moderation. Thank you.

Well I guess it is now time for our resident Fighting-type Gym Leader/Super Moderator to make an attempt at the Four Swords Quest. Will he be able to succeed, or will the many crazy traps get to him? We will find out soon enough what will happen!

FOUR SWORDS QUEST

In an ancient time, Pokémon & people used to battle in vicious wars - this occurred even before primitive Poké Balls were made that turned the tide against what humans considered to be a savage & dangerous world. Some Pokémon were so powerful that humans had to seal them away, placing four swords in four different locations.

The war is over & time has long since passed. The seal was recently broken, and unscrupulous trainers have been attempting to loot these ancient sites. Needless to say the inhabitants were not pleased, & the sealed Pokémon re-awakened. Do you have what it takes up to stand to these Legendary Pokémon?

Player Options
a) Enter Bladed Grass Meadow.
b) Enter Steel Will Cavern.
c) Enter Castle Breaker Cave.
d) Enter Mystic Marsh.
e) Leave Four Swords Quest.

You must also equip items at this point.

Mystic Marsh - Mystic Marsh Entrance

The Mystic Marsh is an ancient place, said to be a location where a legendary Pokémon was trained. The identity is obscured in legend, but it was foretold that only someone who had met the Pokémon's teachers would be able to enter the marsh, with trespassers facing a brutal fate. As a seasoned explorer, & also having fulfilled the conditions to enter, you are called upon to investigate. Will you accept the mantle?

Accepting the mantle, you boldly venture into the marsh, your quick paces marked by the distinctive sound of the muddy ground. You are not greeted by any Pokémon as you go through, & reach a turn in the path. Two Pokémon, apparently standing sentinel, turn to face you, & move in for battle!

Mystic Marsh Entrance

The entrance to the marsh has both solid ground and water for Pokémon to utilise. Otherwise, there is nothing special.

Having no time to lose, your team simply begins a rampage, shutting down Mienfoo & reducing it to a random Struggle, while the Buizel was Flinched & limited to dealing some decent damage to the Gallade with a rush of water. In the meantime, your team simply made quick work of the Buizel by knocking it out, while the Mienfoo was partially dented. This round went well for you.

"PORK CHOP SLAM!"

Mienfoo: High Jump Kick (Crayons, Gem) > Fake Out (Height)

The Gallade begins by slugging the Mienfoo with a powerful blow, as the Venusaur starts to bloom. The Mienfoo then pounces & slugs the Mienfoo with a powerful whack to the face, dealing heaps of damage, before the Kecleon smacked the Mienfoo with a powerful beam. The Mienfoo then rushed the Venusaur, flinching it. In the meantime, the Kecleon simply held back & chilled, while the Gallade slashed the Mienfoo with precision.

Okay so in a relatively uneventful round, you prepare for capture by neutralising the Mienfoo & simply recover up.

In other news, idk if Regenerator recovers the mons HP should it break free of a ball if you are attempting to capture Mienfoo, but whether it does or not is kinda critical...

In terms of our IRC discussion, the main thread states that only bosses will get a chance to attack when recovered up to 100 EN. Mienfoo shouldn't be able to launch off an attack here. Furthermore, Regenerator only recovers HP when the user is utilizing the move Chill. The updated Capture Mechanics state that the Pokemon is gaining back 12 energy, not using Chill. This should be caught in two balls.

Let's finish this off. Come join us, Mienfoo!

Ultra Ball | Ultra Ball | Ultra Ball

IAR EDIT: The OP is incorrect in that regard; it was ruled ages ago that any Pokémon would get the free round when they hit 100 EN. Also concerning the second point, I got a ruling from Deck concerning that which validates what you said. You were not online when I got the ruling...

Birk-a-dit: This should work regardless.

Regarding why Sleep has not decayed as a result of inference. (This is also a three month old ruling that can also be seen in AOPSUser's TLR):
[09:38:02] <&@IAR> okay finally got that answered... Also stat boosts still decay right
[09:40:40] <@~Deck_Knight> Same principle. basically a Pokeball is a suspension of normal combat, so you can't just throw Pokeballs at a Swords Danced target to make its attack drop or whatever.
[09:41:46] <&@IAR> okay so Poké Balls basically cause a suspension & nothing happens in the meantime
[09:41:48] <&@IAR> got it

Though another ancient ruling suggests that a round is still advanced for each ball thrown regardless... I think, though I am trying to get something from Deck about that... No one really seems to know the capture mechanics?

Regardless. Nothing special happens in the process, as you proceed to capture the Mienfoo in two Ultra Balls. Well done.

After enduring the first test the marsh has to offer to you, you regroup, pick up a Water Gem, and then look around. You can either follow the path, or attempt to navigate the marsh. What will you do?

Player Options
a) Follow the path
b) Navigate the marsh

Welcome to the team, Mienfoo! Continue to hold the Fighting Gem that you have. We'll swap you in for Crayons. Mienfoo, down a Potion while you're at it.

Let's take the path. Don't want to get lost in the marsh.

Mystic Marsh - Mystic Marsh Path

Following your initial skirmish, you follow the defined path into the Mystic Marsh. You follow the path deeper into the marsh, & notice the increasing number of puddles by the side of the path. A light drizzle picks up, but soon stops. You come across a fork, one leading to the right, & one to the left. Which one will you take?

Player Options
a) Take the left path.
b) Take the right path.

Mystic Marsh - Mystic Marsh Path

Sensing danger to the left, you go down the path to the right. Not much happens, as you head into an area of the march that seems to feel very humid...

Mystic Marsh - Mystic Marsh Forest Fire

After taking the right path & following it, you soon notice that the marsh has become dense with greenery. Suddenly, you smell smoke, & turn around, your mind whirling. To your horror, you find that a bushfire has started! It is gaining on you, & you run forward in terror. You manage to outpace the forested region, but end up trespassing into the territory of another Pokémon! The Pokémon charges at you, and pulls Mienfoo with it away. It runs off gleefully as you give chase, but you are stopped by two other Pokémon that block your path. They seem to be siblings of the first Pokémon, and you will need to go over them to get to it.

(NOTE: In typical DW fashion, there are two encounters at once... Mienfoo fights the Marshtomp in a singles battle. Venusaur & Gallade fight the Mudkip in a doubles battle. In order to fight or catch the Marshtomp with other Pokémon, you must take out the Mudkip first.)

Mystic Marsh Interior

The marshy ground is not particularly unique. Both water and ground is available for use, though the ground is a lot less firm...

Mystic Marsh - Mystic Marsh Forest Fire

Somewhere far away, you hear a massive earthquake. You do not know what happened, but you hope the Mienfoo was okay. Little did you realise that it was the contrary, but we will get to that later.

In the meantime, the Mega Evolved Venusaur & the Gallade started hounding on one of the Mudkip before the two struck back with ice storms. Venusaur weathered the storm easily, but the Gallade was frozen solid by it. Nevertheless the Venusaur then endured a tidal wave alongside the Gallade, before taking out one of the Mudkip. One final ice storm later & the Venusaur took relatively little damage.

What will happen next?

Mystic Marsh - Quicksand Swamp

You go to the next part of this marsh, which is literally bubbling. It simmers down when you enter it, though you can feel it to be quite sticky. Somewhat rattled, you move ahead at a steady pace but soon you feel it becomes difficult to walk. You look down and to your horror, you find that you are sinking into the sand! To make things worse a Politoed and a Heracross appear on the scene, observing your helplessness! They move in for the kill at once and you must defeat them and escape before it is too late!

Quicksand Marsh

You're sinking into the quicksand, putting you on a timer! Water is available, but not solid ground. You will need to beat your opponents before it's too late...

Let's get our bearings.

Crayons: Fake Out (Normal) (Heracross) | Aerial Ace (Flying) (Heracross)

If Heracross uses a damaging Fighting-type move directed at you, use Shadow Sneak (Ghost) (Heracross) that action.

Height: [Mega Evolve] Energy Ball (Politoed) | Power Whip (Politoed)

If Politoed is in the evasive stage of a damaging evasive move when you would attack it, use Sludge Bomb (Heracross) that action. Push back actions.

Savate: Pain Split (Politoed) | Aerial Ace (Heracross)

If Politoed is under the successful effects of a protective / evasive move when you would attack it, use Aerial Ace (Heracross) that action. Push back actions.

Mystic Marsh - Quicksand Swamp

"Let it rain~" | "Charge!"

Politoed: Encore (Gallade) > Scald (Crayons)

Heracross: Megahorn (Crayons) > Counter

Do take note that Counter does not target. Anyhow, take this as a lesson to not try using Pain Split when ordering first. lol.

In other news, you can feel the soles of your shoes start to sink into the sand.
