Anstane

Oh, sorry, kind of didn't pay attention to this thread. Sorry. Zarc?

Well, first of all, I tried to change the files, but the uncomfortable raised position of the sprite, combined with me not knowing how to change the audio, convinced me to ultimately not change the Samurott sprites. With that said... Chapter 6: A bitter taste After defeating Shade, we got to witness the children get captured by some Team Meteor grunts. Even worse, Cain proceeded to show that he had the Earthquake TM. After some chasing, we got to witness Cain sail off on his Muk. Alright then. Then we got to meet someone who we'll be looking up to: Amaria, the Water leader. Needless to say, she left us jealous. After falling for the most obvious trap in the world mk. 2, we eventually made our way to the depths of the factory, where we had to battle ZEL for the PULSE-Muk. Anyway, Amaria then bulks a Tyranitar Superpower, hello suspension of disbelief, fancy seeing you here today, then leaves towards her manor, but not before giving us her boat. It was off to Apophyll. First things first, a selection of new Water-types to acquire. First and most importantly, I needed to prepare myself for a little bout of revenge for my other Mono run... Ugly-looking shiny, IMO? Check. Lame IV's? Check. Even though I don't care for them. Still, I'm not optimistic about Seaspray's chances of staying on my team. Still, at least he got to be on the team. The other three...yeah, I'm not planning on using them, sadly. After this small gathering montage, I went out of my way to get Seaspray to level 40 for Air Slash. I'll be honest, I really don't like how shiny Pelipper looks. After that and a brief journey up Pyrous Mountain, it was time to begin the Cal-Victoria-Kiki gauntlet. Next was Victoria, trying to stop us from challenging Kiki who is falling apart. And finally, it was time. It was time for me to claim my revenge on the woman that caused me so much grief on my Ice Mono... ...and then my first battle, she proceeds to sweep me 6-0. The second battle was more successful, but it was still...so unsatisfying to see it end in such a way, to see myself still only barely defeating her... I swear to Arceus I'm seriously considering just hacking in an Attack-Forme Deoxys and destroying her like that. That nightmare is over, at least, but that's only the first half of the Apophyll Arc...there's still part 2 to go. The team as of the end of this episode, though Jaws will be making a return soon.

Still, we don't have much evidence for who the criminals are. So you're claiming that you are the Drunk Guy, right? I guess there is little point to hide, I was visited by the drunk guy, though whether that is you or you just got a good guess, that is still up for debate.

Darius was pressed against the chair he had sat down next to when the ship took off at high speed. "Wh-whoah!" he exclaimed. He eased on his magic upon the director's request and, soon enough, the ship was under control. The feeling of using his magic for something productive like this was...unexpected. He felt...proud to be able to do this. He felt...proud and happy that he was able to help with the experiment, with the development. As soon as he saw just how happy everyone else was, he...did not know what to think or how to feel. "It...it's nothing, really. We're just glad we were able to help you out with the development here." he said to the director. Indeed, for the first time in a long time, he felt happy, truly happy, a feeling that he thought he had forgotten, now re-emerging. The elder spirits around him, as expected, were not as happy about what happened, but they kept to themselves for now. They thought that they would get their chance soon enough to convert Darius to their side, to submit to darkness...

I am forced to disappoint you. Micky?

Darius thought for a moment. Ever since picking up elder magic, he only cared for one thing: to inflict pain on the world that has hurt him for so long. Even joining the royal guard, originally, he was motivated by the thought that he can induce agony on the deserving under the banner of "Royal Guard business". And yet...ever since he, as well as his fellow guardsmen, ended up shipwrecked, he did not feel the satisfaction of inflicting pain. In fact, the reactions from the others ever since that moment... ...and yet, he could not really change. Inducing pain unto others was all he knew what to do. And yet...here he was, a chance to use his magic for something else. Something...productive. Darius had learned that maybe living just to hurt others was not a great life to live. "...I'm ready. Ready and willing. This should be...quite interesting." Darius steeled himself before speaking. He knew that, if successful, this could be the start of a major change in his world view.

*yawns* Yeah, I'm here... Micky?

First of all, yes, I was asleep when HUEnd said I was asleep. Second of all, it's alright, there's basically no info to go off of anyway. I don't blame you.

What is an "Antstane"? Care to explain, Amine?

Hm...honestly, I have no clue. However, I do need to vote before it's too late and I'll be quite busy very soon, then asleep after that. My reasoning for my vote is pretty simple: They tried to keep themselves off the "Inexperienced, therefore suspicious" list. Therefore... Eliminate - Another Retired Shipper

What is it? What do you need help with? Micky?

I was not visited by the drunk guy either.

Nah. Amine?

Well, we don't have much of anything to go on, so guess that's what we'll have to do.

Happy birthday, Bazaro! I hope you have a great day today, as well as every day in the future!

Eyy, it really was a long time since I saw you here, K_H! Would you be so kind as to return?

I pounced on Micky, he crushed me and then Zarc proceeded to do something bad to him. I fed him a reviver seed before passing out myself, then got one fed myself. Does that sum it up will, Iceman?

Yeah...I guess I am. And thanks for the help. Micky?

Uh-uggh...ow...getting crushed is not a good feeling... Micky, I'll need to be careful, alright?

Happy birthday, Hongaar!

The rebattleable clown in Agate Circus is your best option in that regard. All of his Mons are level 65, so it will slow down a little later, but it's still your best option. You also get money and shards, so that's a plus.

"Well, the two of us do use different types of magic, so we should be able to help. What is it that we might need to do?"

Darius shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, I don't mind if Helena doesn't mind as well. What is it that we'd need to do?"

I have a Reviver Seed, yeah... *places it in Micky's maw and has him swallow it.* Hey Amine, how long until it works, do you think?

Eh, it's not bad, just that it does not fit the Oshawott line. Compared to Dewott, it is just too drastic of an evolution change for my likes.
