"You're not getting away!"

Xavier: Quick Attack~Chill

Reuniclus: Chill~Chill

The Wanderer · Dec 24, 2015

The Zubat is fast, but Xavier is quicker, despite the fact that he was just skipping over. And with the slightest of pokes on the forehead, the little blue bat falls to the ground.

♫Beaten Bad Guys

Thou hast done well in defeating the Zubats. Of experience thou gainest none, for that is not how ASB works. Thou gainest no gold for the very same reason.

♫Nature!

As you recuperate from the ~~one-sided massacre~~ desperate struggle, the Zubat you knocked out regains consciousness. Perhaps you could interrogate him?

[In Telepathy to Zubat] ("All right, now you're our pri---wait.")

*coughs*

("This is the Reuniclus in front of you speaking. You're our prisoner now, so you're going to answer our questions you see? I've heard a bunch of Zubat have been terrorizing the humans, so what's your deal? Where are the rest of your buddies?")

"Mr. Zubat, where is Sally?"

("Ignore the human, he's off on a tangent...")

Xavier: Pins down Zubat
Reuniclus: Interrogate Zubat

Its_A_Random · Dec 31, 2015

"Well Regirock, your purpose has been served for now but if we have to cross that bridge, you are going to have to be balled, so..." *Grabs his Sport Ball*

Random: Return the Regirock to its Sport Ball and advance towards the Zubat in a way that tries to not make it run away.

Regirock: Begrudgingly return.

The Wanderer · Dec 31, 2015

Considering you might have to find some way to cross the river, Random pulls out his sport ball and recalls Grandstone, who grumbles and grouses the entire time. The Zubat stirs. Random gingerly approaches, hoping to get close enough to pin him down without him running away...

But Xavier does the pinning instead. Gleefully spreading his arms like Christ the Redeemer, he tips over and plunges face-first into the mud, trapping and possibly killing the Zubat underneath.

"Kmmmphmpmmpmh!"

Okay, he's alive. But you can't really make out what he's saying, and Xavier's going to suffocate if he just lays there like that, so he gets up and pins the Zubat in a more conventional way. Cosmo approaches, and begins to interrogate him.

(Alright, now you're our priso-)

Cosmo pauses, remembering the Bidoof from earlier.

(*ahem* This is the Reuniclus in front of you speaking.)

But before the Reuniclus can telepathize further, the Zubat screams a deafening screech...

"<WHAT! THE EVERLASTING! FUCK, MAN?! First you guys trash a perfectly good hanging spot, and then you start thrashing us like you own the place! What the hell did we ever do to you?!>"

(Save it. You're our prisoner now, so we're going to be asking the questions, see?)

Now it's Cosmo's mud-caked trainer who interrupts...

"Mr. Zubat, where is Sally?"

(...ignore him, he's off on a tangent. Now then, we've been hearing about a bunch of Zubat terrorizing the local humans. What's your deal? Where are the rest of your buddies?)

"<Fuck you, man! I didn't do nothin'! The three of us were just hanging around, minding our own business until you showed up!>"

He doesn't seem to be very cooperative.

"For the love of...TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW OR ELSE I'M GONNA---"

"Cosmo! We can't threaten him. Just let him go, I don't think he'll tell us anything."

"...Fine..get out before I change my mind."

Cosmo let go of the Zubat, and it flew away.

"Gee Cosmo, you okay? I don't think I've seen you this angry."

"I've been having a long day dealing with idiocy, now then, let's see if I can get you guys across the chasm. Hmm...I think this might hurt a bit."

"Wha---"

Suddenly, Xavier was, gently, flung across the river. It seemed the only available way for Cosmo to lift them up was with application of Psychic.

"All right, you're next Random!"

Xavier: Let go of Zubat~Gets flung to the other side of the river~After both people are past the river, return Reuniclus.

Reuniclus: Uses Psychic to gently throw Xavier, then IAR, to the other side of the river.

Its_A_Random · Jan 4, 2016

"Well you better hope this works!"

Random: Sit around and wait for Reuniclus to eventually try to fling him across the river with Psychic

The Wanderer · Jan 6, 2016

You decide that the Zubat's not worth it, and let him go. Immediately, he flies off towards Teriblired like his compatriots, but Cosmo catches a snippet of griping as he flees...

"<First all the blacking out, now this...>"

Blacking out? That's unusual...

Anyway, that leaves the lot of you alone. Now, you could turn back, or you could go further down the trail, which continues to snake along the river. Or, you could find some means of getting across those rapids. Perhaps with some effort, you could turn a fallen tree into an impromptu bridge...

...but why waste your energy on that, when you have a psychic-type who can lift you across?

Cosmo pulls it off with a little effort, and Xavier recalls him to save the Reuniclus the trouble of ferrying himself. Unless you ship yourself back over the river, the only way to go is ahead...

"Well, it is not like we have much of a choice, don't we?"

Random: Progress along the current path deeper into the forest carefully, staying alert for potentially hostile presences.

Maxim · Jan 6, 2016

"Yep, let's go!"

Xavier: Goes across trail~Brings out Reuniclus upon reaching next area

The Wanderer · Jan 6, 2016

Welp, you've dawdled for long enough. Time to move on.

Rollan: 119

And just as Xavier sends Cosmo back out, the wrath of Zeus or Thor or a Kyogre or whatever threatens to drown you. Or weaken your immune system. Or at best, just drench the shit out of you.

-Teriblired Woods 5-

As you make your way down a long, wet, muddy, and more than just a little unpleasant trek down the trail, you come across a clearing. You can barely hear your own footsteps over the scream of the downpour...

Rollan: 1335

...but Random catches some movement in the bushes towards the far right of the clearing. It's not Zubats, but something larger. Something a dark shade of orange. Beyond the way you came, the only other path is to forge on ahead, past this mystery critter. However, it doesn't seem to notice you, and judging from the noise of the rain, you may be able to slip by if you keep your distance.

"What's up with all this rain? This is ridiculous!"

"I think it's quite nice, means I don't have to shower tomorrow. Anyways, let's say hi to that orange shape there."

"Oh no you don't. One, you are taking a shower and two, we're sneaking past that thing."

Xavier and Reuniclus: Sneak past the orange object

Its_A_Random · Jan 7, 2016

Orange... That could mean Dedenne or a Fire starter or even a Fletchinder? Maybe Raticate?

"Oh dear this thing might not be friendly but I suppose we should keep an eye on it."

Random: Follow Xavier and Reuniclus, bringing up the rear of the group while keeping an eye on the orange critter.

The Wanderer · Jan 8, 2016

You decide to play it stealthy. Creeping across the other edge of the path, you attempt to make your way past...

Rollan: 5648 = NOPE.

But unfortunately, the orange thing ends up suddenly tumbling out of the bushes. It's a Teddiursa!

"Bwaraogh?"

He stares in shock; It appears he didn't notice you until now. Perhaps if you keep moving, you can get away before his mother inevitab-

Its_A_Random · Jan 8, 2016

what even are the sub rules for this rp ._.

"Oh boy, they do say bears are bad news, don't they? Well then, let's hit it! Deal with the mother first!"

Random: Send out Regirock > Storm Throw (Ursaring)
IF Ursaring faints, THEN re-direct all remaining attacks to Teddiursa.

Regirock: Brick Break (Ursaring) > Drain Punch (Ursaring)
IF Ursaring is in the invulnerably stages of Dig when you act, THEN re-direct your current attack to Teddiursa.
IF Ursaring uses Counter, THEN re-direct your current attack to Teddiursa.
IF Ursaring faints, THEN re-direct all remaining attacks to Teddiursa.

Maxim · Jan 15, 2016

"What, bears now? This day just keeps getting worse and worse."

"I wonder if he knows where Sally is."

"Shut up."

Reuniclus: Psychic (Ursaring)~Psyshock (Ursaring)
If in invulnerable stage of Damaging Evasive move, then redirect to Teddiursa.
If Ursaring faints, then redirect to Teddiursa.

Xavier: Moonblast (Ursaring)~Dazzling Gleam
If in invulnerable stage of damaging evasive move A1, then redirect to Teddiursa.

The Wanderer · Jan 16, 2016

Although Random is quick on the draw in summoning Grandstone, the rest of the gang isn't so lucky as Mama rains rocks on you. Xavier gets winded from the blow, preventing him from attacking, but Cosmo is at least able to telekinetically sling the Ursaring away for a moment. This doesn't stop Random from getting smacked around by her cub, though, and it turns out he's a pretty strong Teddiursa. Grandstone was slow to attack, needing to get its bearings having just been called out, but when it does get its hit in, it HURTS.

Next, Xavier gets himself as much together as a space cadet can, and then lets out a bright flash. How he did it, I don't know; maybe he's got a flashbang or something. Or maybe it's just something he can do. Either way, he muttered something about Sally again. Deciding that Cosmo is the biggest threat, the Ursaring decides to play rough with him. And by "play," I mean "savagely maul his face clean off." Unfortunately for the angry mother, all she manages to do is scratch his membrane before it comes back together. That, and Random pulls that hand thing out of his bag and chucks her against a tree. That's when she turns to her child.

"Uhwuuuugh!"

"Bwaraogh!"

"Wugh! Uhwuugh!"

At this point, the little guy turns around and bolts, while Mama roars in an attempt to be intimidating. Trying to buy time, no doubt. Nevertheless, she's no match for Cosmo and Grandstone, and with a pained cry, she collapses.

♫Beaten Bad Guys

Thou hast done well in defeating the...fuck it. Anyway, Teddiursa's good as gone, and his mother won't be waking up for a while. You might wanna get the hell out of here while you still can.

"... Let's just get out of here. And not at 10 kph."

Random: Return Regirock to its Poké Ball once again and head deeper into the woods in the original direction prior to combat.

Regirock: Just return to the Poké Ball and accept that all it will do is make the team lag.

Maxim · Jan 19, 2016

"Well that was exciting, let's move on shall we Xavier?"

"Yup!"

Xavier: Gain the Power to reach the next stage!
Reuniclus: ...Move to the next area

The Wanderer · Jan 19, 2016

♫Nature!

You're missing the Zalgoification to make it sound creepy and digitized, Max.

...

Anyway! That mama bear is going to be royally pissed when she wakes up, so it's probably best to scram while she's out. Taking a moment for Random to recall Grandstone, you move on...

Rollan: 7984 = NOPE.

-Teriblired Woods 6-

The foliage grows especially thick as you trudge on; You can barely see the trail beneath your feet. This part of the woods hasn't seen much travel; a few muddy footprints, both human and pokemon, but that's about it. The fact that the bridge here is out doesn't help.

Anyway, you eventually come to a clearing. To your right is a decrepit, clearly abandoned wooden shack that looks like it's going to fall apart any day now. The roof might leak, but there's enough of it to shield you from the rain if you need a break. The trees around the clearing are so dense that you can't find any paths beyond the way you came, and even that is a bit difficult to spot.

It's a dead end.

You notice what looks to be a shitty job at covering up footprints heading both towards and away from the shack. Human, judging from the shape. Someone was here recently.

"Well the footsteps are the only lead we have so... I guess I will have a look at shack. I do not know about you but if you find a path with those footprints should you investigate that, do not leave me behind."

Random: Enter and investigate the shack, staying alert for hostile presences.

Maxim · Jan 22, 2016

"Roger that! Let's take a look at those footprints Cosmo!"

Xavier: Checks the footprints to see if he can find out where they came from, any patterns, etc.

Reuniclus: Stays alert for hostile forces, occasionally glancing at footprints to help Xavier

The Wanderer · Jan 22, 2016

Random decides to investigate the shack. If nothing else, he can use it to get out of the rain...

rollan: 1226 = EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYUP.

...if it didn't let up immediately before he approached. While Random is away, Xavier and Cosmo go into investigating the tampered footprints. As you suspected, they are indeed human; you're no tracker, but judging from the depth and the size, you'd guess they'd belonged to a tall, lanky man. As previously mentioned, they go to and from the shack, but the only exit point is the way you came.

Speaking of which, you can hear the faint grunts and grumbles of an Ursaring in the distance. It seems mama has finally woken up.

-Abandoned Shack 2-

The inside is as damp as you imagined, though not as dark - a few leaky bits in the roof let some light in. An ancient table and a rotting chair are the only furniture in this shack. Muddy tracks can be seen all over the floor - human, judging from the shape - but as far as you can tell, Random is the only life in this decrepit old cabin.

However, one thing is out of place in this scene - atop the table lay a small, plastic suitcase, big enough to carry a Spinarak inside.
