Lol, how do you know that I dislike the Vileplume family?

I'll have Missy check on Beedrill.

[Mega Horny]

MLG

I can read minds. Actually, I remember you once talking about how you caught a shiny oddish, and were fairly pissed that the one shiny Pokemon you caught was a bloody oddish.

You command Misdreavus to check on Beedrill, and follow the ghost Pokémon up the tree. Arbok, unbeknownst to your schemes, cannot stop charging and slithers headlong into the head of the tree, knocking itself hard on the head. It dazedly slithers into a nearby bush. Luckily, you managed to hang onto the tree, regardless of the heavy Pokemon slamming into the tree's waterlogged trunk. But to your dismay, as you climb a bit higher, you hear a creaking sound. You leap off the tree just in time, and it splinters in half, crashing to the ground. Misdreavus darts back down to help you, but the sound sound wakes Vileplume up from its slumber, who, thinking it is being threatened, launches a stun spore on your Misdreavus. Meanwhile, with the upper areas of the tree no longer blocking your view, you can see Beedrill clashing in midair with another Pokemon.

Safari Zone Quest: DarkestLight
Part 7


Tyrogue's fist powers up and he slams it into the ground. The tough earth cracks slightly, giving way. Tyrogue helps you tear off chunks of the surface as you dig up an old ancient chest. It is very small and rough.

Your fingers open up the latch on the chest and find, among a bed of sand, a thick, glistening rock:



It looks like a Diamond shard. You also find in the chest a neat drawstring bag and slip the Diamond inside, keeping it for later.

As you look around, you see a Murkrow flapping along, looking hurt and injured. A Gastly and Haunter float around as a Duskull wanders up from the stone steps that lead to Trolgar Mountain. An Absol watches you from afar.

What will you do?

[Mega Horny]

DL -- you are mad lucky.

Also, question for Chris -- do the two points accumulate every five total reffings, or do you get them for every five per person you're reffing?

[Chris 2.1]

Five total reffings. So you can ref 3 for someone and 2 for someone else and exchange them.

[Saffire Persian]

I'd like to join in! I'd like to go to Crush Quarry, and I'll buy one Great Ball please. As for which Pokémon I'm going to take along, it's going to be my male Vaporeon, Rast.

[Phoenixsong]

I should be most happy to take you through, Saff. I'll edit the post in just a few minutes...

@MLG and Mega: Mad at one shiny Oddish? I've caught two. TWO! And I sooo dislike that line... ah, well, awesome electric pink male Bellossom and hideous brown Vileplume, whoo!

EDIT: Here we go, Saffire!

Saffire Persian

Ah, Crush Quarry. Even amidst the clamor of never-ending mining and the clangor of Rock-types charging at one another in contests of strength, you can sense a sort of wild beauty and “peace”, if you could call it that, all around you. You and your Vaporeon, Rast, carefully pick your way through the painted red and brown rocks to see what you can see. What you can see is a male Cacnea sunning himself on a cliff not far above your head; about a hundred yards away, you can see a male Primeape harassing a few frightened quarrymen. A female Machop is watching the proceedings some distance away. As you and Rast walk cautiously over to get a better view of the hairy situation, you make a mistake that you’ve only ever heard about in your Pokédex: you stumble over a rock that, upon turning around, you discover is actually a female Geodude.

What will you do?

I actually have money now, so, in proper Phoenix form, I'm going to blow it all sky-high and join in. One Great Ball, please, and I'll come in with my male Growlithe, Cujo. My hound-dog and I would like to lurk around the Feizhi Outpost. Might I have a guide? *kicks Vermillion*

...No, anyone can do it, first come first served and all that, but I'm sure he'll jump on it provided he notices soon.


- made your announcement a bit clearer - Chris 2.0

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Alright, Misdreavus, Thunderwave, Icebeam x2.

Set, see who the fuck that pokemon is and wait for my orders.

[Mega Horny]

MLG -- It's you who can't see the Pokemon. You could go up and look, or get Set to come down to you.

[DarkestLight]

Mega- I like treasure. So that's awesome.

Hrm....

Wynd. Go and talk to that Murkrow. Ask him what did this to him, and if we can help in any way.

EDIT: Chris, I think I roped you in for the long haul xD.

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: DarkestLight
Part 8

You send Absol over to the Murkrow, but the bird is initially scared at your appearence and flaps back. By speaking softly and moving slowly you convince the dark Pokemon you mean no harm. Murkrow explains to your Pokemon it was battled by a trainer who attempted to catch it. When asking if you can offer any help Murkrow declines, and asks to be left alone. You see the little Pokemon take to the skies and flap away.

You shrug: at least you tried. Nearby you see a Pinsir using a tombstone as a weight, pumping its forearms in some workout. You can also see a group of Duskull, male and female, slowly floating across the barren wasteland. Nearby is a lone Baltoy spinning gently, while a Misdreavus cackles as it torments a Hypno by yanking its hair.

What will you do?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Then I'll go up there and let Set do a double team, just to be sure.

[Vermillion]

I claim Phoenixsong and I'll get started on you tomorrow ^_^

[DarkestLight]

O.o! Missy? Hrm, this may be a good change to get a Ghostie! ..

But I'm supposed to be concentrating on Dark types...hrm...

I wanna keep exploring. That Missy is tempting...but I better leave those two alone. But, I'm wondering why that Mightyena was guarding this area....bit vicious for just a diamond...



¬¬ ...*Sigh* We'll walk around this area once more. Whnd, be alert. Change, You get next crack at whatever we may run across...

[Mega Horny]

A wild blademaster ftw!

I gotta get me some balls so I can snare that elsuive bastard!

@Wolfsong: Have you posted? Haven't seen a reply in a while, and I'm afraid I missed it.

@MLG: In good time, my friend.

[Blademaster]

I gotta get me some balls!

No kidding.

And I'm not a Pokemon; I'm just horny, dammit! There's a difference!

Pushing through the lush jungle the twitters and clicks of the fauna that inhabit this land echo all around you. Your tiny hound perks up as you slash at some over hanging leaves with your buoy knife and stop dead noticing Cujo. “What is it boy?
you ask and on cue Cujo bares his fangs and spits smalls flames as a huge Arbok[M] slitters a distance away from you. 3 Kakuna[2-M] [1-F] hang on from a tree beside you and a Nuzleaf[F] darts through the trees like an acrobat.

What will you do?

[Phoenixsong]

Hmm... nice as they are, I'm not all that interested in Kakuna and Nuzleaf, and I don't want to take my chances with that Arbok just yet. I think Cujo and I will just press on for now.

You begin by swiftly recalling Callomuso and replace him with the aptly named Kappaduck. The Golduck leaps into action, hammering Feebas with a series of punishing karate chops. However, Feebas, now unhindering by Callomuso's tentacles, responds by slamming Kappaduck with a pseudopod of water.
Kappaduck chuckles and waves his arms: Feebas suddenly finds himself hit with a blast of enigmatic energy that seems to warp the area around him. Feebas frowns and begins to attack... but only manages to hit himself.
Finally, Kappaduck stares Feebas in the eyes and successfully manages to hypnotize him into a deep sleep.

Safari Zone Quest: DarkestLight
Part 9

You wander among the higher plateu, the valuable diamond in your pocket. Memories of your catch of Pupitar are in your mind as you see a flock of Zubat going out for a hunt. Nearby you see a Gastly and Haunter slip by as a Sneasel sharpens its claws against a jagged rock. A Metang is hovering above a Larvitar, taunting it.

What will you do?

[The Blue Avenger]

Chris: You toss your Pokeball quickly. It hits Feebas and sucks the fish inside. The ball wiggles once... twice... and three times. Ding! The male Feebas is yours! You pick up your Pokeball and glance around. A Qwilfish is staring at you from the lake, while a school of Magikarp seem to be congregating around... something... underwater. What do you do?
Status: 1 Great Ball

Whoop! Feebas! What gender is it?

Ok I'd like to dive under the surface of the water with Golduck. I want to explore underwater if that's ok.

[The Blue Avenger]

Chris: It's male.
You dive underwater with Kappaduck. You see a Chinchou glowing towards the bottom of the lake, and a couple of Barboach swim past. As you get closer, the Magikarp scatter, giving you a full view of what they were examining: a cave in the lakeside. What do you do?

[Chris 2.1]

I think I'll keep swimming deeper and enter the mouth of this cavernous tunnel.

[The Blue Avenger]

Chris: You dive further down with Kappaduck and into the mysterious cave.

New Area Discovered!
Liang's Cave Complex
A mysterious labyrnth of caves and tunnels underneath Ivy Lake. Rare Pokemon can be found here as well as mysterious treasure.


Immediately, the place looks confusing: the rock walls seem to have formed a natural labyrinth, preventing you from knowing where to go. The main cavern branches off into several smaller chambers, each one with smaller exits out of them. In short, it looks like you could get lost here very, very easily, but hey, that's part of the fun, right? What puzzles you, though, is the fact that this cave looks like it was inhabited by humans not too long ago. Discarded electrical and (what seems to be) medical equipment litters the rock floor. A Geodude stares at you suspiciously from the ground, while a Corsola can be seen in the distance. A Kabuto scuttles by, but upon seeing you, runs away. What do you do?

---

I'm going to take another go. I'm buying a Great Ball and a Pokeball, and I'm bringing in Numeron, my male Exeggutor, and King Ramses, my Metagross. I'm headed to the Abandoned Playhouse.

[Chris 2.1]

Hyp: I'll keep wandering around the caves.

Safari Zone Quest: Hypotenuse Man
Part 1

You purchase one Great Ball and one Pokeball and are led through the Safari Zone by your guide. With you are Numeron (Exeggutor) and King Ramses (Metagross).

You are taken down a dusty, worn street; signs are broken, windows shattered, papers rustling. It is quiet here, but your guide takes you to your destination; The Abandoned Playhouse.

It is quiet inside; the door is stubborn but when you get in, you are met with a dark, tarnished sight. The seats are dusted and worn; their scarlet colour is diminished due to the lack of life. Some seats are ripped up within this theatre. Behind you is a staircase leading to the lighting room; you see a Raticate scampering up the stairs towards its litter. A Smeargle is rebelliously painting a rude word on a wall and, as you look, you see what is unmistakenly a Flareon asleep on the main stage. An eerie symbol on the wall peels off and floats around; it is an Unown F.

What will you do?

[The Blue Avenger]

Chris: You keep on moving, down one of the many legs of the cavern. You accidentally step on a piece of discarded machinery, and the resulting noise wakes up a flock of Zubat and Golbat, who rush past you and out of the chamber rather quickly. You glance to where they were flocked and see something glinting in the darkness. You can also see three Diglett (or is it a Dugtrio? it's hard to tell) dozing in a corner. Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and DENNIS. What whilst thou do?

---

I'll move on - let's see what's backstage.

[DarkestLight]

>> Can I catch that Metang? Like with the Pokeball, or is it a impossible capture at this point? i need to know before I attempt to catch it....

[Chris 2.1]

Hmm a glint, huh? I'll have Kappa use flash to light up the darkness and see what it is.


DL: No you won't be able to.

Safari Zone Quest: Hypotenuse Man
Part 2


As you wander to the front of the stage the Flareon's oily eye flickers open; she darts off back stage and dissapears. You make your way down an aisle towards the front, noticing a Koffing high up in the rafters which emitted a thick curl of smoke. Climbing a set of steps up to the stage you turn to see the vast seating before you; up in the lighting tower you can see a Charmander headbutting the machinery.

You wander backstage; here it is spacious, with old pots of paint, shelves, scenery boards and props all around. A smeargle, in more of a tan shade, is dipping her tail in pink paint and making some sort of drawing, clearly amusing herself.

You see two Meowth rummaging amongst an old costume trunk; they tug a large piece of cloth and a Pokeball rolls across the ground. You pick it up:

+ Inventory:
-Greatball x1
-Pokeball x2

Among the debris and old scenery you see a Cyndaquil fast asleep. What will you do?

[The Blue Avenger]

Chris: Kappaduck uses Flash, and suddenly, the entire chamber is lit up, causing the Digletts to awaken with a start and dig away. The glint, however, is revealed to be a valuable Diamond. You pocket the Diamond and look around. there are no Pokemon in this chamber: the Flash has driven them away. What do you do?

I will look through the costume trunk for stuff, and then move along past the sleeping Cyndaquil as quietly as possible.

[Chris 2.1]

DIAMOND!!!11 awesome!! Woop

Umm I'll walk on through to the next chamber. You know we could do with finding a way out that doesn't involve a lungfull of water......

[The Blue Avenger]

Heheh, Chris, you missed my update. ^^;

---
Chris: You keep on truckin', walking carefully through the complex. A Graveller rolls past you, seemingly oblivious, and you have to shoo a Zubat from your head: it would seem that it was a member of the herd that just swept past you. Meanwhile, an Omanyte and a Kabuto seem to be feuding, alternately spraying each other with water. What do you do?

You start off by giving your Misdreavus some commands, and then you begin to climb another nearby tree, to see what the deal is with Set. You watch Misdreavus land a sucessful thunderwave on Vileplume, sucessfully paralyzing it, and then you focus your sights on Beedrill -- and more importantly, his opponent. A huge Foretress is slamming its rigid form into your Beedrill, time and time again. You command it to use a Double Team, gaining temporary protection. Foretress manages to wipe out three of the eight clones with a rapid spin.

Safari Zone Quest: Hypotenuse Man
Part 3

You have a look through the costume trunk but cannot find anything cool except a flamboyant pirate hat and a rather foisty eyepatch. You catch the attention of a little Ralts, who is chuckling. You wander down the backstage area and see a tiny little Growlithe Puppy - cute! Unfortunately you recieve a sharp bite from an elder Growlithe that has snuck up behind you. Growlithe looks like it wants to protect its young...and seems to want a fight.

What will you do?

[The Blue Avenger]

Let's see... Numeron shall teleport me somewhere else in the theater. Also, I want to keep that hat and eyepatch.

---

Chris: You start heading back to the entrance. Kappaduck keeps a sharp eye out, but does not have to do much aside from spraying water at a Lileep who strayed too close. At the mouth of the cave, you can see into the lake, where a Lombre and a Dratini are trading blows. A Poliwag is watching, but turns its attention to you. What do you do?

Safari Zone Quest: Hypotenuse Man

Sensing a fight, Numeron glows a vivid colour and you are teleported away. In a burst of light you arrive somewhere else; one look tells you that you are in the lighting room upstairs. There is a big glass screen which you look out of and see a myriad of Pokemon below in the theatre. Up here is a big control panel which controls the lighting.

There is a group of Charmander in the corner; the same one you saw previously. There is also a Porygon that is beeping around merrily. You also see an Abra, fast asleep. There is a rough growling heard on the staircase.
