Round the Fourth: A Restorative Retreat

alphonse.png

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I must apologize for the...exigency prior to the commercial break. It would appear a certain Zorua has been tormenting my companion recently, including masquerading as myself. However, the issue has since been resolved, and I have confidence no more problems shall arise.

398.png

<See how the douchebag likes the closet!>

alphonse.png

Now then...as you'll recall, Arcanite's Scrafty was defeated in the previous round, having leapt into the heavens to perform a Hi Jump Kick, but most likely descended far from here.
560.png

*slowly floats past the screen*

As a result, he has summoned his fourth pokemon, a Torterra dubbed...erm, Land Turtle. Meanwhile, House Straton has...wait, where are they? I see the Pokemon, but not the trainers. No matter, they seem able to battle, and the show must go on.

Charged from Behemoth's earlier gaffe, Stasis raises the curtain by punishing him with a Psychic assault, while Tulowitzki soars above, dodging the Ice Beam that the hapless Nidoking had in store. Land Turtle fares better, his Rock Slide managing to nick at least the Voodoom's defenses, but just barely fails to strike the Straton's Aerodactyl as he ends his Flight upon his face. Stasis brings forth another Psychic attack on Behemoth, this time felling him, leaving Land Turtle to defend Arcanite alone. Fortune seems to favor him, however, as Tulowitzki takes a brief moment to Chill away his fatigue, allowing the Torterra to sharpen the Edges on his Stony shell and deliver a tremendous blow.

Oddly enough, this does not seem to anger the Aerodactyl, as he continues to rest - this time with Stasis joining him. Not one to ignore an opportunity when he sees it, Land Turtle deluges the duo with another Rock Slide, if only for a pittance of damage.

Alas, another set of commercials must interrupt the battle, so until then, propidiem te-

83.png

Hey, what happened to Romero?!

alphonse.png

Not now, Theodore! Wait until the commercial!

<Wait, if he's here, then who's running the camera?>

s9bx.png

Do you know who I am?

Ben.png

Orpheus Schneider...you were...you were on the news.

He didn't smile or anything. He simply adjusted his glasses, pushing them up by the bridge.

s9bx.png

I guess that saves the need for introductions, then. Do you know how you got here?

I tried to say no, but ended up choking on blood. I really don't remember, but judging from my splitting headache, it wasn't pleasant.

Ben.png

No...but I can guess...

s9bx.png

My apologies for having to meet this way. Unfortunately, I couldn't just knock on your door.

Ben.png

A shitty first impression, *cough* if you ask me.

s9bx.png

A crude way of putting it, but yes, sadly.

Ben.png

You're with those masked guys, aren't you? I mean, why...why else would you tie me up?

I was expecting him to bristle at the accusation, but he only chuckled.

s9bx.png

A safety measure, actually; you'd be surprised how many would-be collaborators have tried to jump me. And not to worry, Lad; I assure you my opposition to Prosopida is genuine.

Schneider adjusted his glasses again. He keeps doing that. Why does he keep doing that?

s9bx.png

Which brings me to the point of all this. You and I have a common enemy, and I'd like your help.

Ben.png

...Where's Rico?

s9bx.png

The Lucario? Perfectly safe, I can assure you.

Ben.png

Then where is he?

s9bx.png

All in due time, Lad. As I was saying...

Ben.png

Don't bullshit me. You're using him as insurance, aren't you? Why else wouldn't you just bring him in here?

Schneider adjusted his glasses again. If I pissed him off, he didn't show it.

s9bx.png

You're smarter than you look. Unfortunately, you're in a position that could turn the tables, and I can't really afford to lose that.

Ben.png

If you do anything to him-

s9bx.png

All the more reason to cooperate. Of course, your partner's well being isn't the only incentive...I believe you were in Egypt earlier this year?

Egypt? Is he talking about Hotekh?

Ben.png

No idea what you're talking about.

s9bx.png

You'd be surprised what my network can dig up. I believe you said it yourself: Don't bullshit me.

Ben.png

Okay, if I was there, what?

s9bx.png

You walked in on a grave robbery, accidentally woke Hotekh up, and lost him. I have it on good authority that Prosopida was behind it all, and that they have at least a significant chunk of what was stolen - no doubt to keep the pharaoh in check. I might be able to help you and Dr. Al-Azab recover both.

He knows about the professor, too?

s9bx.png

More pressingly, however, is the reason you're so valuable to this plot. You and Ms. Van Houten are close, am I right?

Ben.png

...

s9bx.png

No need to answer, I'm quite aware of your relationship. As I recall, you two went to high school together.

Ben.png

And? A lot of people know that. It's not like we ever dated or anything despite what a lot of people thought...

s9bx.png

Maybe not, but you did...make a mistake together, yes?

Dammit, don't remind me about that...

s9bx.png

I hear it led to a pregnancy scare, too...

WHAT?! How the fuck does he know that?! We both swore to carry that to the grave!

s9bx.png

I could go on revealing dirty secrets, but I think I've proven my point. In any case, her life hangs in the balance, too.

Ben.png

If you think I'm gonna let you do anything to El-

s9bx.png

Like prevent a hit on her?

Ben.png

Like hell am I...wait, what?

s9bx.png

You heard me, Lad. I have reason to believe Prosopida is after her head, and you're in the best position to stop it.

Round the Sixth: Defeat of a Dragoon

alphonse.png

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I truly apologize for the recent disorder, but it seems to have been resolved, and I predict no more unwanted issues will come our way...wouldn't you agree, Robo-Ref?

Robot.png

HELLO. I AM A ROBOT.

alphonse.png

Now then...with Titan having fallen the round prior, Arcanite's final pokemon - a Heracross named Kain - takes the stage. And the moment he arrives, immediately is he beset with misfortune, Team Straton coordinating their efforts against him and knocking him down. While our hapless beetle is attempting to right himself, Land Turtle takes advantage of his Big Root and drains life from Stasis.

Robot.png

THE DOLL SPECIMEN ATTACKS THE BEETLE SPECIMEN WITH PSYCHOKINESIS. THE BEETLE SPECIMEN IMPALES THE DOLL SPECIMEN WITH HIS HORN. THE FROG SPECIMEN JUMPS ON THE BEETLE SPECIMEN. THE TORTOISE SPECIMEN CANNOT DO ANYTHING.

Rather...succinct of you, Robo-Ref. Now then-

NO ONE WANTS A TALKING THESAURUS, MEATBAG.

Hey! I find that quite offensive, you, you...automaton!

*knock knock*

235.png

Hang on, just a moment...*creaaak* Hm? Oh, it's you. If you're looking for Lad, he's not here.

2o4o.png

Oh, did I miss him?

235.png

Actually, he never came. He was supposed to be reffing tonight!

2o4o.png

I...I see. Did you at least see him at all today?

235.png

Not a trace. Why, is something wrong?

2o4o.png

No, I just needed to pick up the Lucarionite from him.

235.png

Oh yeah, that mega evolution thing. If I see him, I'll tell him to call you.

2o4o.png

Alright, thanks. Sorry for barging in. *ker-chuk*

(Now that I think about it, didn't those two leave together last night?)

Easter.png

Any luck, Little Miss?

2o4o.png

No...he never even showed up. What about you?

Easter.png

Found his apartment, but it didn't look like anyone was home. Should we go to the cops?

2o4o.png

No, not yet. There's still a few places we haven't checked.

Easter.png

If you say so...

Round the Final: An Overestimation of Endurance

alphonse.png

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to what appears to be the final act of tonight's battle. Despite their trainers being absent for most of the battle, House Straton's pokemon have performed most admirably tonight, Stasis in particular. However, both she and her amphibious companion have appeared to retire, with Tulowitzki returning and an Aurorus dubbed Anastasia taking the stage and...oh dear, the temperature seems to have dropped quite abruptly...

Although still well-fortified, Arcanite's last bastion is in dire straits as he Protects against an orchestrated assault upon him. While at first Land Turtle was able to successfully defend himself against an Attack from the Sky and a glaciating Hyper Beam, the hapless tortoise was left too fatigued to Endure the hits necessary to make his final swan song, granting the Stratons victory.

An excellent performance, yes? Of course, tonight's battles aren't over, but I will be handing hosting duties off to Mr. Waldstein after these messages. Donec rursus convenerimus, I'm Alphonse Well-

Robot.png

HELLO. I AM A ROBOT.

alphonse.png

Erm, one moment please...What is it? I'm in the middle of finishing up!

Robot.png

YOU'RE STAYING HERE.

alphonse.png

Pardon?

Robot.png

THE HEAD MEATBAG IS OUT. HE WANTS YOU TO TAKE OVER WHILE HE'S GONE.

alphonse.png

The chief is out? Has something arisen?

Robot.png

PROBABLY MEATBAG STUFF. YOU'RE STAYING.

alphonse.png

Ugh...he'll be racking up a significant debt for this. My apologies, it appears we've had a scheduling snafu and I'll be continuing to host, so...oh, the commercial's begun already.

*Meanwhile, in front of the janitor's room...*

Ben.png

What do you want me to do?

s9bx.png

My sources tell me Van Houten's got a meeting over at the Nardac building tomorrow night. You know the place, right?

Ben.png

That place in downtown?

s9bx.png

Precisely. Prosopida's likely to strike there, so keep her away until my forces can secure it.

Ben.png

And you think she'll listen to me?

s9bx.png

Why do you think I'm talking with you?

Ben.png

And you'll give Rico back, right?

s9bx.png

Once you've accomplished your mission, yes.

I heard a door behind me open, followed by footsteps.

s9bx.png

Now then, I think we're done here. When you wake up, you'll be back out in the city.

Ben.png

What do you mean, wake u-Mmmphmmp! Mphhm...mm...

Shit...getting sleepy...

s9bx.png

Don't forget what I've told you, Lad. V n Ho t 's fe h...

*Adonis walks in, standing behind the operative who chloroformed Ben*

aegishidden.png

I don't think he can hear you anymore. That's some potent stuff.

s9bx.png

Doesn't matter. Get rid of him.

aegishidden.png

Hey! You heard him! Take him out and chuck him in a dumpster somewhere!

*A second operative unties Ben and carries him out with the first*

aegishidden.png

You know he doesn't believe a word of it, right?

s9bx.png

Of course he doesn't. But I don't need him to believe, just follow.

aegishidden.png

Hence kidnapping his partner. I presume you want me to dispose of him?

s9bx.png

Go ahead. He's a Lucario; I doubt we can sway him to our side.

aegishidden.png

Unless we can sway his trainer, of course. Then again...

s9bx.png

A wimp like him? He makes a better pawn.

aegishidden.png

You really think he'll be able to expose Prometheus for us?

s9bx.png

That, or we get Mnemonikos. Either way, we w-nngh!

aegishidden.png

Sir?!

s9bx.png

Ggh...I'm fine, Adonis.

aegishidden.png

You've been doing it again, haven't you?

s9bx.png

I know, I shouldn't. It was just a spike, though; nothing to worry about.

♫All the Fools Sailed Away

This Schneider guy's motives can't possibly be good. But do I really have a choice? Rico's life hangs in the balance, and if he's telling the truth, El's, too.

Ben.png

I'm in seriously deep shit, aren't I?

*cue ending credits*
♫Something bad's going down

NEXT TIME ON SMOGON ASB

k4b2.png

Heh, looks like your life's over, Fido.

Ben.png

You've been looking for me?

51.png

I hear you've got a bit of a stake in this as well.

***

2o4o.png

Where the fuck have you been?! I've been looking for you all day!

Ben.png

Save it for later, we've gotta get outta here!

ricol.png

Come on, Boss, where are you?!

Is that one of those masked bastards?

Ooh, he's a cutie! Shame Gadis doesn't discriminate.

Fancy meeting you here, Blondie.
