Facility Battle Tree Challenge: epicdrill

[epicdrill]

Ugh, I don't feel good...

:ss/heracross:
This is probably food poisoning, right?

:ss/tyranitar:
It could also be actual poison...

:ss/heracross:
Either way, we need to get that hot dog out of her stomach ASAP! If I do that, can you wash her mouth to make sure everything is gone?

:ss/tyranitar:
Uh, are you sure that will be enough?

:ss/heracross:
Do you have any better ideas?

:ss/tyranitar:
No...

Kaya will use her strength (see various pokedex entries that say it can easily lift and throw things 100x its weight) to lift me up and spin me around until I puke out the hot dog, at which point Abigail will use Water Pulse to give me water to wash my mouth with to make sure everything is gone.

 

[TheEver]

Not wanting to give the hot dog time to settle in your stomach, you know what must be done. Kaya has more than enough strength to lift you high into the air. Before she starts spinning, she gives you a worried look, asking "are you sure?" with her eyes. You nod sadly. Kaya lets out a deep sigh and closes her eyes, mentally preparing herself for what's going to come next. She starts off by spinning you slowly, allowing you an opportunity to come up with a different plan. You hold firm. Kaya gradually increases her speed, and pretty soon you feel your stomach churn. Kaya doesn't slow down. She keeps spinning you faster and faster, until you can no longer hold it. What comes next can only be described as a "sprinkler of vomit".

Once Kaya is confident that you've vomited up the last of it, she lets you down. You move away from the war crime that just got committed and find an area to lie down and recover. In order to make sure you are truly free of poison, Abigail shoots a pulse of water into your mouth to wash out anything that didn't make it out of hurricane puke. Thankfully, after some time to recover from the dizziness and nausea, you begin to feel better.

Success: +2 TC

But time is of the essence, so you know you need to move to find the boss. Thankfully, the boss is not subtle, and one of the buildings in the plaza looks significantly more ominous and evil than all of the others. It is also swarming with bodyguards. You move in that direction. Once you get to the base of the building, some of the bodyguards start to give you a hard time, but your opponent from earlier comes over and vouches for your strength. The other bodyguards, mostly being cowards, decide to let you into the building. You are surprised to see a child on the ground floor of the building.

"It's finally time to put the plan into ... wait, who are you?"

The boss is a young girl? It doesn't take long for the boss to figure out that you're not supposed to be there. Like every good villain, the she is kind enough to take the time to explain what is going on.

"So you're the meanie who's been interrupting my plans! And it was such a good plan too! Thundurus is generating lots and lots of electricity with its stormy powers! And Scizor is using its super awesome claws to destroy all of the power lines to other buildings so I'm the only one that can have it! That way, if anyone wants power, they have to pay me! Preferably in candy. I LOVE gummy bears!"

You're surprised that a young girl would come up with such a plan, but you don't have time to question it. You have to put a stop to her antics.

"Oh yeah, I guess I'll have to fight you now. THUNDURUS!! SCIZOR!!"

The two Pokémon come flying in the door behind you. Scizor moves forward first.

You are challenged by Tree Boss Sally!

Only epicdrill and nightblitz42 should post in this thread.

Scenario: Carnival
Tier: 3

Pokemon #1: Kaya the Heracross
Pokemon Ability: Guts
Pokemon Item: Flame Orb
Pokemon Attitude: Kaya really enjoys fighting, and is always looking for a new challenge.
Pokemon Background: Kaya grew up sparring with her siblings, and is convinced that a friendly fight is the best way to make new friends. Her desire for interesting battles led her to practice tracking down pokemon that she thought would give her a good fight.

Pokemon #2: Abigail the Tyranitar
Pokemon Ability: Sand Stream
Pokemon Item: Weakness Policy
Pokemon Attitude: Abigail likes being alone and doing things on her own, or with one or two others she knows well. Despite her appearance, she tends to be shy talking to people and pokemon she doesn't know.
Pokemon Background: While Abigail enjoys the occasional battle, she's not as interested in them as many pokemon are. Growing up, she was much more interested in painting, writing, and music, and now she spends most of her free time either writing or sculpting things.

You're finally doing it this year: you're making a trip to the awesome Twelve Flags(tm) Amusement Park you've wanted to visit ever since you were a kid! Sure, it's a bit loserly to go to an amusement park so close to Valentine's Day without a boyfriend/girlfriend, but at least you'll have your Pokemon to keep you company. Valentine's Day can be about friendship, too, right? Friendship with your Pokemon? Ah, whatever -- you're too excited to concern yourself with details like that right now. Even mundane preparations like packing your backpack feel like part of a big adventure.
> "Sunscreen, check. Maps, check. Water bottles... can we bring those inside? I dunno, let's bring 'em anyways."
In a hurry, you zap Kaya and Abigail into their Poke Balls, hop into your car, and drive off to the vacation of your dreams.

---

"Sorry," says the gate attendant. "No ticket, no entry."
"The tickets are in here somewhere," you protest, rummaging through your heavy backpack. "They must be at the bottom. There's no way I forgot them!"
Impatiently, two security guards grasp you by your elbows and lead you away from the amusement park entrance.

---

You hurl your bag at the asphalt and sit down in a huff. All you can do is pout and enviously watch the countless visitors enter the park that you so badly wanted to visit.
It is at this point, at your greatest despair, that you happen to notice an inconspicuous door aside of the entry gate, labeled "Employees only". And your mind gets to working. Perhaps you could... no, you wouldn't dare. Unless... Testing the waters, you hoist your bag over your shoulder and walk unassumingly towards the door. Nobody stops you. You brush the tips of your fingers against the door handle. Nobody notices. You gulp and press down on the handle.

It's locked. Obviously. But you've gone too far to stop now. Your heart is racing. Your breathing is accelerating. And your hands are reaching for the Poke Balls on your belt.

epicdrill how will your Pokemon help you open the locked door?

 

[epicdrill]

Oh no, it looks like this is locked, do you two have any ideas for how to get in?

:ss/heracross:
I could break down the gate.

We're trying to sneak in, not alert everyone around that we're breaking in.

:ss/tyranitar:
Kaya could steal some keys, and then we could drop them once we're inside, make it look like someone just lost their keys.

:ss/heracross:
For that to work I'll need some kind of distraction.

:ss/tyranitar:
I should be able to handle that.

Abigail the Tyranitar will go around the side of the park and use Brick Break on the wall to make it seem like a wild pokemon is trying to break in, before using Dig to escape. Kaya the Heracross will then use Thief to steal a set of keys from a park worker who leaves to go investigate.

 

[nightblitz42]

A loud BOOM!! can be heard as Abigail slams her fist into a wall on the far side of the park. The security guards stationed at the front entrance run over to investigate the noise. In their haste, one of them knocks over Kaya, who complains indignantly -- (as if she wasn't obstructing them on purpose!)

After the last of the security guards finally turns the corner, Abigail pops her head out of the dirt next to you. "I ran away before anybody saw me," she says. "Did you do your part?"
Kaya jangles a large key ring hooked on her claw. That answers that question.
You try slotting the keys into the keyhole one by one until one of them fits. Jackpot! Slowly, you swing the door open and step inside.

Success! +2 TC

You have entered what appears to be a staff break room. A woman in park uniform sits in a chair at the corner of the room with her legs propped up on a table and a smartphone's glow on her face. Dully, she swipes her finger on the smartphone's screen and yawns. If she's spotted you, she doesn't show it. On the far side of the room, another door (the only other door in the room.)

Carefully, stealthily, you and your Pokemon tiptoe across the room. Tip. Toe. Tip. Toe. Just one more step and you'll be in range to bolt out the far door.

Step. "You know we can see you, right?" says the woman.

You freeze.
...
...
...

Something is behind you.

You spin around and come face to face with a fearsome, snarling, slavering Ursaring!
:ss/ursaring: ROOOAR!!
You run for the door, only for your path to be blocked by a humongous Steelix squirming in from the outside.
:ss/steelix: GROOOAAAAH!!

The employee, seeing that her coworkers have you cornered, returns to idly tapping her smartphone.
