EndearingCharacterTrait Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) This one's a kind of awkward in-between chapter I think... Chapter 16: A Rescue, Thwarted We set out towards Valor Mountain to try to rescue Nim. After passing through Route 5, we are faced with a water crossing. Halfway across, though, we are stopped. Spoiler "...holdin' up. You doin' okay?" Stop wasting my time- ...wait *Melia throws out some more banter, but Zetta's reaction is rather suspect...* what Really though Ok so Adam's a Rock trainer I guess seems familiar Well, on with it then. Vs. Zetta Spoiler Absol fails a Sucker Punch as Amaranth goes for Shell Smash. We move next to blow away the enemy Amaranth actually goes down while I try to liberate this Shadow Jumpluff. I'm far too kind Cerise Toxics the Jumpluff, she too is beaten before I can snag it. I should reexamine my priorities Eventually I succeed though. You're welcome. Null tanks a Close Combat, but does not KO Rosso with its attack and is therefore defeated lol see ya Nope. Why do you think I was willing to make sacrifices to emancipate your Jumpluff? Swept aside, like usual. Spoiler that wasn't the plan, right? Just leave the banter to the pros, sweetie OK so why is everyone acting like they actually did something just now? Not a single one of you tried to help in that fight Does this mean it already ate Geara? That would be an improvement Your wish is my command, leader Everyone leaves in pursuit- Well, almost everyone. Spoiler Should have brought a Poliwrath or cheated, like me. Thanks TMX mod We corner Zetta on Valor Shore. Spoiler "...this whole...negotiation." "...can scale this beast." I could if it were at all evident what your intentions are, but it is not Bro my whole team is full of mons that scoff at this. One of them basically is a volcano, and another is literally made out of magma Look stop wasting our time with your banter. Unless...! Spoiler oh jeez "...open this way." Wait did she just see his pun? "...take it down." "...unknown to me." didn't think you had that in you Vallie Girl Wait, this is actually bad- Spoiler aye aye cap'n We rush back to the shore, and find a calamity occuring Spoiler Braixen boutta get destroyed... why did the tentacle monsters have to come back... So we go to battle! Had to fight a whole bunch of these things... I fight my way to the other shoreline, where my compatriots are surrounded. Spoiler cuz they have all of no defense whatsoever cuz they compensate with disgusting amounts of attack and speed. No finesse there at all. BIFF! POW! BASH! SHAZAM! We're doing just fine actually. But for some reason someone thinks we're struggling... Spoiler Are you even watching? Well I'm glad someone is being...pleasured? Feels like I shouldn't have said that who- Angie... umm... We succeed in driving off the enemy. However, Melia doesn't intend to repeat this latest blunder. Spoiler When are you not looking for me tbh well on with it then "...go as planned." "...attacked our ship while we weren't there." "...times." "...one who takes all the hits." Seems like that's my job, actually "...you. I've just been followin', y'know?" Don't you mean "the rest of you are all more important than me?" "...stay behind is all." Very well "...for me lately." Isn't it a problem that we've yet to find a single clue about where Saki is? Accurate, but if you would let me train you I could change that "...me." Wait she knows Teleport? Is that even allowed? So that's decided then. What's the next order of business, o fearless leader? Spoiler it is for me Crawli mentions the existence of TM Magma Drift, which happens to be exactly what we need Spoiler of course not Why tf not? Just to create an obstacle for me? 'Therefore, no one will ever need to again' "...mentioned before..." "...Angie." "...and get it." "...what it was currently." Look it's badges. It's always badges. "...Kristiline Town." Okay then Also, the engineer they called in to fix the warp thingies has apparently arrived. How do I know this? Well... Spoiler ' music is Serious Business The next day... Spoiler I bet you'll just come in anyway thought so "...schedule." That's just because I basically only play this at night Isn't my schedule actually your schedule? You're the one making the decisions Average I guess. The Despair hasn't caught up to me yet, but I think the Madness might get here first "...regardless of badges." the powers that be by that logic I could too Somehow... Give me like 30 seconds, that's all it should take really 'If you were there with me...' Something like that, right? I get it~ Another moment ruined... Oh it can and is, honey Who could it be~ Spoiler Look who's heeere~ that Luca seems like a real deviant tbh Yeah, Melia's far above such base things as death. That's for us peasants Admittedly your reaction probably would have been the same "...anyone." Well I never really thought she was dead, soooo... But that aside, what are you even doing here, Venam? Spoiler Ooh, okay then- this might get long "...business..." "...left for whatever reason." "...on the phone." "...or something." Has he never spoken to that engineer before? That's the only way this remotely makes sense. "...I..." But...but he'll know when you don't fix it...You didn't think this through did you That's a hard no from Melia and me. You should allow the workers to actually be compensated for their work- What? NO! How can you just let her take the money??? We ask Venam if she's seen Crawli. Spoiler Wha-NO! I really don't want to talk to him again... Ugh... Melia then asks me to leave, as she wants to 'catch up' with Venam... Spoiler um Yeah, catching up. That's definitely what they're doing in there. I guess I know what I have to do next...but there's one thing I want to take care of first, with a very particular person. I think we all know what that is... Spoiler "...battle me." Wow that's incredibly forward. Also patently absurd that she thinks I would happen to be on this island at this time...but more absurd that it actually works "...anyone else." Wow I'm...flattered *blush* "...shot." (I think that's what she said, something like this anyway) I've found another Romantic...I'm a lot of peoples' favorite apparently didn't think I was anywhere near that charming tbh I aim to please Vs. Novae Spoiler Scarlet didn't end up doing a whole lot to Toucannon, so I switched. Novae did too, however Alizarin is able to outlast Gumshoos I'm ready for you this time... Coquelicot didn't have enough power to fell the ghoulish sandcastle, so she is defeated Alizarin actually couldn't do it either...I gave up Crunch but I miss it right about now Cerise ends it though Ready for you too... Amaranth goes for Shell Smash here, she tanks a Beak Blast in retaliation. Rock Slide then destroys Toucannon Scarlet can beat Lurantis...or could have, if crit Leaf Blades didn't happen. She does get a burn with Lava Plume though (not that it matters) you're done the whims of Fate are not for us to decide... So I've beaten Novae once again. Spoiler "...ways." mmkay oh please do "...the moment." hmm what? nooo you'll stay in my dreams bye, I guess... Next Time, I have to find Crawli...

EndearingCharacterTrait Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Chapter 17: Unwanted Encounters I'm looking to find Crawli, as I'll be needing some more badges. There's one person who can point me the right way... Spoiler Look I ain't happy about this either "...wake up?" I could say the same. Just tell me where Crawli is- "Cameras! Dance!" *sigh* Vs. Rorrim B Spoiler I'll be taking this, it deserves better that wasn't even a little satisfying Don't think this guy is done wasting my time just yet though. Spoiler I basically already forgot tbh just get on with it there's no reason not to other than you're a jerk and a sore loser you're lucky it's raining right now it's Gastly that you've still not told me not a problem I learned something useful. Better tell the Boss. Spoiler They're talking about Ren. Plot twist: he's still a shitty person Yep. Had to give him a whooping before he said anything too I thought you knew everything though Really? You want more time alone? seems like there was plenty of time to do stuff while I was gone Oh well never mind then clearly they already did stuff...but Venam still wants more she really wants more Alrighty *we pass Aelita, who asks where we're going* Eh, sure, Wynaut. Who know what we'll find on that Secret Shore behind Sheridan- I don't know, we just went over that The three of us sail to the Secret Shore. Spoiler hmm As we progress something catches our eye Spoiler "...the one that used to be in Carotos?" Yes, tell me everything "...named Crescent appeared." "...mountain." we did? I guess Because of course Melia knows Crescent, a person we still know basically nothing about "For now we have a job to do." You promise? I'd like to know...literally anything about Crescent, and I really like desserts too As we continue we come across none other than another Xen lab. Inside there's an unpleasant surprise. Spoiler Must be hard while they're just running back and forth she's always mad tho for some reason Well yeah, she hates people or whatever. Apparently you forgot that even though you swore revenge on her, but I guess you forgot that too And a frustrating one too "...this?!" So you went against all of us to join the group that you thought killed her...see how that doesn't even begin to make sense? And you did it because I fixed your hometown before you could, while totally forgetting about the revenge you swore on Team Xen for killing Melia. Honestly you're mere existence is becoming infuriating oh snap oh snap *Then Ren runs away, like the craven he is now* U-um right. Wait no left! Wait no- *Melia glares at me* O-okay, right. I have a good feeling about right. Yeah I haven't seen her so livid before. It's frightening but kinda hot too Ren runs off to go bitch at Nastasia about the fallout from his utterly inexplicable betrayal of us Spoiler don't know what the end of this was tbh we're long past when "friends" was an accurate description Because she's evil, remember? You know, a bad guy? You became a total idiot quite fast Ren were you talking to me just now there probably isn't one So you just want to provide me with weapons? Or is it just to give the grunts strong mons to use, because if you just say that I might believe you Xen dudes actually have something resembling a plan Actually no, still not convinced That attitude has already gotten you in trouble you should probably just blow it up tbh On the right path I find something nice: Spoiler well hello there We flip all the switches and cross the bridge. Spoiler "...hurry." ... It's not even just them though. Spoiler the nerve of some people Um, no. ooh scary that's just how we roll "...your life?" You should just give up then Hah! That's an amusing thought Because you're an idiot? A scumbag? Trash that doesn't deserve to be in the same room as me? If you were actually remorseful you would just get out of my way Vs. Ren Spoiler Alizarin ignites the cave with Heat Wave. After that Sableye is easily overwhelmed, but not before Ren wastes some potions Coquelicot hits with Brave Bird, but Greninja survives and gets the KO Rosso gets revengeance Honchkrow can't hope to live our burning attacks Scrafty however proves tanky enough to outlast Cerise Revengeance part 2 says Ren, moments before his last mon is beaten into the next century I got beat by Greninja again...the only actual threat on his team I won, but apparently Crawli lost Spoiler Really just everyone else does, and it's kind of arbitrary anyway. We've discussed this An insult that makes no sense, because dreams can be anything "...either, Ren." He succeeded in wasting my time though That's doubtful Ok now that's some bullshit. I don't even begin to believe that Do we have to? I'm not even sure I'd be mad if you somehow died offscreen first Excuse me speak for yourself mmkay...So Crawli, how did you end up here again? "...walked down the tracks." Ok then You telling us or yourself right now? We leave for the Shore. Spoiler So she wasn't necessarily 'extremely strong,' just strong enough but also fast "...badges." Well it was either this or stay and play with Venam- Wait why did we come here again? Netflix and chill with Venam sounds way more fun There was another diversion, but we found Crawli. Next Time, I can finally get badge #6. Stay Tuned~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagami Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 How does a greninja survive a stab brave bird? My greninja gets almost KOed even from neutral move. The next gym battle will be interesting and too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndearingCharacterTrait Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 this one feels like it has a lot of filler screens tbh Chapter 18: Don't You Know How Hard It Is to Kill a Bug? Now that Crawli has returned, let's see about that gym challenge. But first, we did some training with our newest member: Spoiler He'll play a role in the upcoming battle The gym is located inside the Ranger HQ. Let's begin. Spoiler People are talking about me? W-wow... I might actually be down for that too tbh Don't worry, I already took care of that- oh jeez "...know things around here!" Maybe? Who knows Ok look I know I'm no Melia but- "...talking about recently." I don't know about 'famous' apparently they're old, they've had more practice "...sorely mistaken." I've already got 5 badges, though surprisingly haven't done nearly as many gym puzzles as that "...through?" um no buts "...a prerequisite!" "There's just no way!" So is this the gym puzzle or not? Is there another one? Or does everyone have to do this first? Doesn't matter really, I'm a puzzle-solving machine *a ranger says...something, but I missed that screen* wait this only kind of makes sense without context, oops but I'm also a prodigy so it doesn't matter "...sorry asses and work for once!" Well that was something I guess. I did defeat Crawli once before, but this time will be different. Better ask Jan for some advice. Spoiler "...Island?" Oh I know all about how strong Bug trainers are... "...right?" "...quite the punch!" Bug trainers are always packing heat though...a criminally disrespected type "...this fight." S*** interesting Bro I'm a Fire trainer. That pretty much forces me to just try to blow away every opponent, as it stands there's not a whole lot else I can do really "...you out here!" I might have guessed, but one cannot be sure You mean his good-for-nothing father Rorrim B.? All he's done is waste my time I'll do my best I then head in to take on the gym puzzle/ranger training course. Spoiler "...overcome!" "...the end of this cave." makes sense "...that!" Eventually I succeed in completing this trial. Took a couple goes, though. Spoiler There's all manner of mysterious women in this game already, so I can't assume I know who anyone is I didn't recognize you because you actually look smaller now I disagree, you really don't have to look tough to beat those rangers "...the task of raising him." So I was right about him being good-for-nothing then Who could that beee~ Good decision "...league too!" Good on ye It's not just me then Graduation exam? What's this final task? Spoiler How do I just actually become one, it'd look good on my resume yaaaas !? no eh, sure *we take the Leap* At the bottom... Spoiler I missed the context for this, too... "...scary!" I hope so >probably not "...door." I can, but each idea would be a massive plot twist Hmm, I wonder- hmm "...help me." "...chance afterwards." I was quite concerned you were gonna fight me just now...I know someone who could learn from this Welp, nothing left but to face Crawli. Spoiler how hard did he look "...terrifying they can be!" Even GF seemed to think that. They got almost no respect until at least Gen IV-V Let's see what he can do. Vs. Crawli Spoiler Mmkay, so first that rain will be going away. Vermilion's Sunny Day cancels the rain (good) and creates a Rainbow Field (not really helpful, but unavoidable); he then barely survives a sun-weakened Liquidation. Vermilion puts out one Lava Plume before falling...It doesn't do a whole lot (somehow) Coquelicot drops Golisopod immediately with Acrobatics Another Acrobatics obliterates Heracross, though let it be known that this scarfed bug is actually faster, so Gale Wings was a factor Yanmega actually survives an Acrobatics (how???), Ancientpower is then a one-shot, so I guess that's done. The sun ends here, so the field reverts Yanmega gets healed, but Alizarin's Heat Wave downs it in one go anyway, while igniting the field. Further research has shown me that Yanmega's base Def is 86, but it's SDef is only 56, which I wasn't totally aware of. Suddenly a lot more makes sense Araquanid tanks a Thunder Fang with health to spare, and hits a Poison Jab which poisons Alizarin. We choose Flare Blitz next, which Araquanid still manages to survive (curse that Water Bubble), it then fells Alizarin with Liquidation. However, the field damage faints Araquanid Scolipede moves first (not surprising) and crushes Carmine instantly with a crit Rock Slide (...also not surprising *sigh*). Scolipede gets a Speed Boost The now faster Scolipede goes for Swords Dance, allowing Rosso the chance to erase it with Flare Blitz maybe I should have just started this way tbh Jan already said that Galvantula is also faster; it uses an Electro Ball, then survives a Flare Blitz with its Focus Sash...then faints anyway from field damage In contrast to the last fight I had a blatant advantage this time, though I still made a sacrifice to remove the perma-rain. It wasn't hard...that being said, Crawli still brought a lot of fight. He has tons of coverage, plus Gen VII gave us several great Bugs, 2 of which are now staples in his team. Spoiler yeah he put the hurt on my team tbh Tank? Defense? What are those? Bug trainers are always hardcore (I'm sure some of my readers know that of course ) That's another victory, I guess I'm getting good at this. Spoiler "...hideout at the Wetlands." ...Dammit Crawli "...you'll find something interesting." *flyer materializes from nothing* "...be forgiven." Great, more of this... hmm Aelita's waiting outside for me. Spoiler very well good luck~ And outside the HQ, the others are waiting as well. Spoiler of course "...go!" So that's that. Our next stop is Teila Resort, in hopes that I may quickly grab badge #7 as well. Stay Tuned~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellBoyOnEarth Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Great job you did here I hope that I will come up all this way with my Dark Type Team, till yet it was hard(Keta get really on my nerves), but I hope it will be easier right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndearingCharacterTrait Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Surprisingly, this isn't dead. But, I've been procrastinating over this long chapter among other things Chapter 19: This Is No Vacation, Part I On our way to Teila Resort, we pass through Aquamarine Cave. Spoiler Clearly not, given you lost to me~ "...sunlight." Thanks, professor "...a bit, yeah?" Actually that sounds nice ...but there's no way we'll get to probably- Wait, Saki's not dead? We finally have a lead on the missing Saki! Better try to find her. Spoiler well excuuuse me princess That's not Saki. Let's keep looking. Spoiler another one? "...screaming right now." Melia you made that sound so menacing *behind the doors* "...and help p-p-please!!" why did Melia know there would be sharks in here actually tho "...get out of here!" Your wish is my command *I fight a couple of Sharpedos* "...out by yourself?" why did you make a Fire trainer do it for you "...Sharpnado?" Sharpnado sounds like a much scarier movie tbh Why are you even here- yes I''d like to hear how this happened "...something helped me out!" "...door." hmm "...found me!" I did, not that it makes sense to me...yet? "...and and and..." that was a pointless quoting job I just did Somehow we found Saki, so that's cool. fancy that I was beginning to wonder if we ever would. Spoiler should be 'taken' No, it doesn't matter so uh, yeah, can you help us out with that I guess "maybe I would have." *Valarie appears* "...right?" You sure? "...to your aid." "...our way there now!" 'Moon to shine down...' that sounds familiar *Saki races off* "...hyperactiveness." Did it now? Hmm We pass through Aquamarine Cave- It might as well have been a straight shot tbh -and presently arrive at our destination. Spoiler xD ok it was a little funny Time to explore! Spoiler I thought it was pretentious "...cake." It eats the cake too just break in um excuse me oh ok then That's enough of that. Let's see about that gym. Spoiler "...business!" Can't you? "...there." Oh. "...just comes right back!" well that's...strange That's a yes But more importantly, look who it is! Spoiler h-hi... <3 ...n-no *tears up* ... 'The Golden Flame?' That sounds...cool. Also why is Melia a bigger fangirl than me Melia melted a little bit just then~ "...Grand Dream City, no?" yeah she like...died...or something Tesla chooses not to press the matter Bigger now than she was then, even But of course "...challenges." Well that's good. What about that bad news- of course she's not I guess we're thinking the same thing are you? Well whatever, I guess we should head back over to- when she was dead Yeah she can't bear to leave me alone (again)~ So I'll be going to find Amber alone, since Melia is so exhausted for hero-ing Spoiler 'Kind of a hothead...' I may know who to look for... these rooms seem small though Amber turns out to be easily located... Spoiler If I were doing that I wouldn't have spoken to you at all "...ain't poor." I better keep looking then well excuuse me- wait, I already said that If it ends this conversation faster I'll say pretty much anything I can't actually though Just fight me right here and now then, it doesn't matter hold up- "...steal my CD!" ...That's a whole lot to just drop on me (even if I have actually heard about this from someone else already) "...is?!" Hold up, Roxie is vintage now? Vintage and rare? Suddenly I have more questions Well if those are her terms I can actually do something about this. I happen to know someone by the name of Veronica... Spoiler "...things." Honestly I'm still a bit mad at you for this But that's not why I'm here. "...person." DUN DUN DUN "...her straight in the gut!" Don't punch her too hard, I still need her badge. "...hands." Wait, don't kill her either, please. I still need her badge. I follow Venam back to Aquamarine Cave for more drama! Spoiler "...for you? That's cute." Firstly, it is a little cute. Secondly, her mommy actually picked Veronica... y'all gonna throw hands or what *plays Dogars* It's called a Walkman, Amber "...they shout Amber out!" oH sNAP y'all gonna throw hands now? There is almost a fight...but then this happens Spoiler It's actually not- *Venam jumps* ...but I'm gonna do it too, because of course I will Down the hole we find ourselves...somewhere Spoiler "...the smart thing to do." "...falling." you actually did kind of ask her "...FUCK." this quote was actually kinda silly too "...they suck." "...stereos and they stop working." THAT BETCH "...for no reason." It is not So we found Amber, apparently this is a day for finding people. Spoiler Then we get some more about the bad blood between Venam and Amber. Just how that fire started is still not totally clear... "...Venam who started it!" "...them if they found you." *sigh* "...the result." Or I could just make her really angry, then she'll want to fight me ... Well, at least the others are enjoying their stay~ (dammit, save me a bed...) Venam and I head over to Amber's room to see what we can do... Spoiler oh she's very real... If I attack first, will it still count? I'm not above doing that. okay I guess No. That's just not what this is "...what else?" "...about it? Nothing!" I have no clue what she would do sure, I guess "...there." I very much doubt that "...things." yeah that's mighty suspect ok then... ... hMMM We seem to have gotten sidetracked (again)...but when we go upstairs not a moment passes before there's even more drama! Spoiler "...leave?" wait hold up- "...ways." needs another preposition Also don't think I didn't notice Saki's murderous red eye(s) *Saki swings...whatever the hell that is, but misses* *Amber slaps her* Tesla please...don't tell me you didn't see Saki try to murder your daughter just now SAKI JUST ATTEMPTED A HOMICIDE, MELIA Okay, clearly I'm the only one that just saw that "...you-" it's not think, Melia is perfect must protecc laying down the law "...matter??" If it doesn't matter then literally just give me the badge and we'll leave. I don't care either way "...defeating them in battle." Ok that's something I can do "...badge." It is "...fine with it." No, see if that happens then we're definitely just wasting time WHY THE F*** NOT?? Do you realize how many problems that would solve I don't need your help tbh It isn't I like the way you think, Vallie Girl Honestly, just go. I'm like 80% sure I can do it without you if I have to "...to undo your pampering." Spoiler: she doesn't "...a challenge." No, you definitely should Spoiler: she will be at least she's not a homer I guess You're my teammate, actually So since I've somehow been coerced into fighting, we head up to the arena. Spoiler "...back, okay?" "...average." actually tho Vs. Venam and Saki Spoiler Yes, Melia does indeed send out a Fairy mon versus a Poison and a Steel trainer. And yes, it doesn't end up mattering, because she's perfect Carnelian hits Metagross with Flamethrower, then Hapi hits an Air Slash on Toxapex. Metagross hits a Meteor Mash on Carnelian (why??), Toxapex throws out some Poison Spikes. The next turn Carnelian and Hapi both Flamethrower Metagross; it goes down. Toxapex puts out more spikes Carnelian hits Aggron with a Flamethrower, Hapi's Air Slash flinches Toxapex. Aggron hits Carnelian with an Aqua Tail, which he survives (surprisingly). Another Flamethrower puts Aggron to red, Hapi hits another Air Slash on Toxapex. Aggron finishes Carnelian with a Low Kick (an interesting moveset on this one), and Hapi then tanks a Liquidation Aggron gets healed, and then eats a Mach Punch and Flamethrower (should've just gone fro Close Combat here), Hapi tanks a Venoshock. While Toxapex gets healed, a Close Combat destroys Aggron, causing Hapi's Aura Sphere to hit Toxapex (and do basically nothing) Close Combat one-shots Klinklang before it does anything, Rosso then levels up and learns Acrobatics, so that's cool. As a result, Hapi's Flamethrower hits Toxapex and again does basically nothing. Rosso is then floored by a Liquidation Hapi hits an Air Slash, then Scarlet gets destroyed by a crit Liquidation, because Toxapex is somehow faster (ok this is not implausible, but still...) Toxapex is (finally) felled by a crit Thunder Fang + an Air Slash Flare Blitz + Flamethrower down Seviper Alizarin burns Muk with a Flare Blitz, Hapi hits another Air Slash, then tanks an Ice Punch. Heat Wave + Aura Sphere end it This result was a given tbh I always thought it was 'speckledorfed' Er, I mean, 'that's not even a word and I agree with ya' Saki didn't stand a chance, as was to be expected. What was not expected was my team having to eat most of the attacks, and Melia only using the one mon...don't know what those two were doing honestly Looks like Venam and Saki will have to take this L Spoiler "...partner." "...than to our's [sic]." That's actually not what happened at all. Then again, Metagross only got in 1 attack anyway "...you improve." mrrgrrgrr "...faces were absolutely priceless!" "...that I need to post flyers!" "...possible!" "...back later." Don't ask me. I'm many things, but a parent is not one of them "...with her." "...battle Amber." Great... aLL oF iT I bet Venam is thrilled right now "...here with me." And just like that, we were two. But Tesla has something for me~ Spoiler "...talk to me." What could that be~ ...It's gonna have to wait though, this chapter is already very long (yet it feels like not a lot happened...)

EndearingCharacterTrait Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 It's been bothering me more than it should have that I left this hanging...I'm sorry about that. This one is short, because I'm no good at splitting these chapters. Chapter 20: This Is No Vacation, Part II So, where did we leave off... Spoiler You know I am Oh right, Tesla has something to tell me. I wonder what it is... Spoiler "...won't take long!" Sweet. Sweet will always be my answer~ Yay "...stuff." "...think that?" Maybe? I'm not the one to ask She definitely feels that We're not really her friends either Luckily, there's still time for her to change Aww, my heart <3 I do love me some sweets, but I'm very curious about this surprise... Spoiler ... ...! W-wow... This...this is a dream come true...I need a moment... ... No, I shouldn't cry, this is a happy time... Maybe Amber wouldn't want me- Actually, scratch that. She would be thrilled I think~ This moment seems too good to be true...I feel like something bad will happen... ... That's a really negative way to think, isn't it? Clearly I'll need more work if I hope to grow out of this... Before I can compose myself for a response though, Amber appears... Spoiler Oh no...this can't end well Here it comes... Now you've made her angry, Amber Suddenly I understand a lot more. But then, this family drama is now mine as well You are not. Not even close It's become a tense moment... Spoiler *Amber runs off* But once we step outside trouble finds us almost immediately... Spoiler ... Again with these guys Can we just burn them and be done with it- Like hell it's not possible Wha- Why are you even still a thing Okay... Please Should've already lost that job tbh "...everything." You're going rogue too? That Madame X has no control over her agents does she Why does Madame X even keep you? Or Geara for that matter. All either of you have done is get thrashed by me Will it? Or will you just get killed anyway for insubordination? Why indeed I bet she doesn't even know "...planned." Wait so what happens if we don't? You bring this random girl back to headquarters so Madame X can say 'why are you wasting my time again' and then sword you or something? If you insist. Your plan does not seem that well thought out...but then again none of yours have hol up That grunt should be the admin Nonsense like this seems to be standard in the Team Xen administration Wait, my Magmar has Vital Spirit...zzzzzz Well...that was unfortunate. I really am a magnet for bad things... Spoiler I'm telling you, all my mons are Fire...just let me try "...successful that'll be good for us, but..." I'm sorry...I bet it's my fault. I don't know how but it is "...learn Magma Drift." Would it work if I trade you one of mine? No, that's definitely cheating. "...sheesh!" "...this." "...scream?" You being there wouldn't have changed anything tbh Also...I'm pretty sure you tried to kill Amber yesterday. Don't think I forgot that Um what What is it now- Spoiler Oh great To kill us, probably "...perhaps?" oh don't even give me that Ummm...okay... Spoiler "...but to go." Nope Well maybe you can "...here immediately." Don't make promises we can't keep, Melia So it looks like we're going to face the crazy ice lady now...maybe Saki was on to something Spoiler "...give you a wet willy!" Oh no I don't want that This might not end well... Stay Tuned~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndearingCharacterTrait Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Well, I'm back at this. Chapter 21: A Cold Reception, Part I Melia has brought Venam and me to Kristiline Town, for the 3 of us were invited here by the extremely suspicious Angie. Mere steps into the town it becomes obvious that something is not right. Spoiler "...anything." Feels like I should be the one saying that "...here." Yeah there's simply no way anything good can come of this- Spoiler Um hey...you "...and bad reasons only." I need a badge too it seems, sooo So uh, you have a plan, leader? Spoiler "...comply." Everything, you say? Okay... I look around the frozen town for a bit. It's a pretty troubled place. Spoiler Um Right... *Talked to Patty the Pokemart girl* "...there." This guy's got jokes... Also RIP this guy But now let's see about that TM. Spoiler I think this is the place "...correct?" Oh cool I was right "...circumstances- We won't." There are...three of us here? ...! That was strange- Spoiler "...help us?" Yeah maybe you shouldn't- *The shop gets Blizzaga'd* This ain't the first time... And it won't be the last "...that." Apparently they can't. That's what Tesla said at least Or they literally cannot enter the town at all "...any further." That's right, be the hero Aevium deserves Melia No...I'm fine with kill tbh famous last words With that it's time to go to church. Spoiler Wait you can hear that?! a likely story "...there." Well this isn't so bad- Spoiler It's sublime, a word which here means utterly horrifying "...useless now." "...down." Actually though That...doesn't answer the question She's already waiting tho "...cat!" mrgrgr Yeah...this Angie is a real meanie. Spoiler ' How rude "...three have done." "...to you?" The TM is actually more important Probably just by existing. She seems like the type "...specifically to this church." I'll have you know the church is the first place I went...and it was locked. So don't give me that; lying is a sin you know... Not buying it "...Arceus." Arceus "...if you ask me." "...people into following you?" A holier-than-thou attitude. And, like, magic I guess "...you. You're power-obsessed." Gym Leader registry? okay also okay Leaving out some important details. But then, they always do... My guess is the collective unconscious. Or something like that "...benefit." That's not the problem...the problem is that she took pay for work she didn't do. Just taking the job for your own benefit is not even wrong. "...intelligent." sure Everyone does this okay You have nothing on me It told me nothing I didn't already know "...way a leader should act!" Ah, so we've reached this part of the conversation I can feel nonsense incoming "...some sort of status quo?" "Outrageous!" I'm pretty sure we did not say that "...are a regular human regardless." "...brightest." Of course she is. She follows Arceus "...Arceus!" The hell does that mean I don't show my darkness to just anyone lady Also...that looks a lot like darkness to me Angie- ... Spoiler Yes let's Don't thank god, especially if that god is Arceus *They poof away* It's not them...you're just really high in machiavellianism Psychopathy too "...rescue your friends." Now you're putting me through an ordeal...how presumptuous As I progress, I first come across Venam. Spoiler I'm not convinced I put these frames in the correct order I'm not convinced such a thing exists "...you...Angie..." ... "...Melia or Candela? I- I don't." "...that I was given." So she makes the confession then gets killed for it anyway huh...yeah I don't see how Arceus is making anyone better like this. Also...Arceus does a whole lot of killing for a so called 'savior.' ... "...think you are?" "...heart." No they were too absolute. Dealing in absolutes is your thing, not ours. Wait Yeah we'll see about that *I smash 2 more maids* I wonder where this is going Being a believer in Arceus "...tainted by evil." "...you do that?!" "...that way." "...Arceus. Where they belong." "...them!" That didn't sound very pious I press onward with Venam... Spoiler "...here." "...here anymore." "...talking to?" "...being, all right?" "...may have already noticed." "...Melia, and myself out of here." "...we're not in Kristiline Town." "...she did it or why..." "...placement is pretty convenient?" "...situation we're in." Eh...the worst that could happen is I have to smash another maid...wait "...here." "...day." um thanks "...gift anyway." 7 badges... Um I got Rock Climb. Not a waste of time. After that distraction, we finally find Melia...next time, because this already has enough screens (maybe I'm overdoing it) Stay Tuned~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndearingCharacterTrait Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Chapter 22: A Cold Reception, Part II Venam and I continue climbing the ever-degrading Tower of Theolia, in search of Melia... Spoiler "...in her heart, shall we?" Found her Won't we though "...met me." Okay... "...anyways." You're right...I wouldn't believe a word you said 'You're not me!' Wait no it's not that *poof* And we just found her too...but further up we find them again. Spoiler It's one of my only most endearing character traits no Out with it- Actually that's about right Yeah, what she said Spoiler: You won't So I have to swat aside a couple more maids; by now it's becoming routine. Angie continues the preparations for...whatever's about to happen to Melia Spoiler And failure is unacceptable that's nice see you in hell We still have time to stop the ritual...I hope Spoiler It is "...ritual are complete." that is not good that is nOT GOOD Or steal it, like the Insurgent you are So the true way to live is to die...I knew it that Arceus is so greedy hmm Hmmmmm Oh have you now? That's mighty interesting Oh dear what is about to happen Main character privilege? I'm still working on that one myself Oh jeez what What just happened Luckily, Melia is not too far Spoiler don't know how you're still thanking god at this point I think she's just literally bigger than you remember not really there is no escape *Meanwhile, somewhere totally different* Spoiler "...the fort until I'm back." I take offense to this This is why Valarie is the serious one oh no oh no Apparently the effects of our incident are spreading...and I can see why Spoiler You're still here? who even are you She's only moderately more crazy than at the beginning though... that's a mistake I been known I'd be fighting Angie mmkay "...Pokemon." You're the one serving a mad maid "...to melt even the toughest of ice." "...Never-Melt Ice." Oh if you only knew "...Angie's Pokemon." I don't think that's how Hail works "...Truth." (It should be "her") "...know." "Slightly." That's a joke It's about time to face the now very much unhinged Angie...maybe we won't die Spoiler "...ironic, actually." Is it? oooh "...about it." "...ever again!" "...Terajuma..." "...soul!" oh this is not good at all yep why do I get the feeling this is only the beginning Not today. This isn't how I've imagined it Vs. Angie Spoiler Okay so to start that Hail is going away. Vermilion must take a Cold Truth before bringing a Sunny Day. After taking another Cold Truth Vermilion's Lava Plume burns A-Ninetales and changes the field...to a factory I guess? Hmm. We survive a boosted Dazzling Gleam with critical health to KO with another (now not weakened) Lava Plume Glaceon (somehow) survives a Flamethrower, then counters with Water Pulse, which doesn't do a whole lot after being weakened by the sun. The sun fades this turn. While Glaceon gets healed, Cerise goes for a Nasty Plot...so now to hell with you And you... And you as well. To hell with all of you. This one is not weak to Fire, but it sure as hell is weak to Fighting. All Aurorus accomplished was resetting the Hail I'm just that hot apparently Walrein survives a Close Combat before flooring Rosso with Surf From here Walrein survives a field boosted Thunder Fang (how???) and drops Alizarin immediately with Surf (how????) Walrein gets healed here while Cerise goes for Nasty Plot. Walrein eats a Flamethrower before claiming yet another KO with Surf Burgundy lands a crit Thunder Fang, yet inexplicably misses the KO (honestly...). Surf is another one-shot Vermilion's Lava Plume finally ends it This is why you shouldn't have fought me at all Another advantageous matchup, but it was of course made easier by my ability to fully remove her field advantage. Not a tough battle (ignoring Walrein personally erasing 4 of my 6 alone) So the battle is won...but we're not in the clear yet. Spoiler "...I." please don't yeah no I ain't sticking around for this We run away...but we don't actually get away Spoiler s*** that's not good- um I let him out No you got out because I let you out "...much trouble?" I rocked her world (I think it's "cost") like actually tho *Freeze* I don't You...do? Melia's plot armor rubbed off on us this time I thought it was Never-Melt Ice thank you for explaining Doubtful. Very doubtful Yes let's So uh, that's done I guess. Spoiler "...frozen." Just accept it Oh Vallie Girl is here~ that's good You left them with Saki Hmm so they've never met? That's a good question "We" It's okay if it doesn't make sense to you oh dear god It was so bad she heard it in the unconscious realm What? Oh sweet I'm like not actually close to that ("wasn't") Shhhh He's...actually not all that strange comparatively speaking So after all that I actually managed to get badge #7, just as planned. Funny how things work sometimes. Of course we still don't have TM Magma Drift, so we'll have to figure that out... Stay Tuned~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
