[SZ Ref Thread] Oslo's Ostensibly Outrageous Outings! v. 2.0

[Greyfox]

Hi. I'm Andrew and I left this alone with my girlfriend. It was a bad idea.

[Oslo]

GREYFOX'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!

Triangle Island
This island, far off from the coast, seems to have a peculiar energy to it. Strange things occur when it is visited-but reports of its existence are few and far between. What is known is that it has many craters and is a strange hilly terrain, with few patches of grass.

‡ Round 210 ‡

You check out the kraken bracken to see what's lurking. You part the plants and see a tiny Jigglypuff looking up at you with wide eyes. D'aww! However, your adoration quickly dissipates when little Jigglypuff pulls out a stick that she decides to use as a makeshift microphone. Uh-oh.



"Jiiigglypuuuuuuuuff, Jigglyyyyyyyyyyyyypuuuuuuuuuuuff..."

As she Sings the first notes of her little tune, your eyelids immediately grow heavy.

‡ Round 211 ‡

You do an about-face and start running away from Jigglybuff as you head back to the beach. However, in your half-asleep stupor, you veer a little to the left and end up tumbling into a rather large crater. Derp. As you clear your head, you realize you've stumbled upon a nest of eggs.



Looking up to the edge of the crater, you see a Pokemon peering down at you.



Mama Audino looks positively livid. Her body begins to sizzle with electric current.

Inverted Duckbot nods and Teleports you away from the crater... and from Triangle Island altogether. Glancing around, you find yourself immersed in a dense forest of bamboo. You're barely able to move, but at least there are no asshole-ish Jigglypuffs or Audinos around. Huzzah for that.

You look upwards and see... more Emolgas!

‡ Round 213 ‡

You pick a random direction and start walking. Your trek is rather uneventful for about a quarter of an hour until you stumble upon a clearing in the middle of the grove. You see two Pokemon staring one another down aggressively. An audience of Pokemon have gathered to watch what you think might turn into a brawl.




"Oskar totally has this on lock," Electabuzz says to Venipede. "There's no way he's going to lose to a little Durant!"

"I dunno," Venipede replies. "Pierre is pretty fiesty. He might give Nikolas a run for his money."

You also see a Mankey sitting behind a rock which he appears to be using as a makeshift desk. It looks as though he's taking bets on the outcome of the battle.

You approach the crowd and pick out Illumise in particular. You ask if she'd like to fight.




"Hrm, a battle?" Illumise asks as she gives you a once-over. "Y'know, why not? It's been a while since I've trounced a Pokemon trainer. This'll be a one-on-one, though... no ganging up on me, y'hear?"

Everyone suddenly ignores Heatmor and Durant as they run to Mankey to place bets on your fight with Illumise. Mankey offers 20:1 odds on you.

That's fair. Duckbot, you're up!

Start with Thunder Wave, then go in fast with a pair of Aerial Aces!

[Cynder]

No way are you gonna steal my Pokemon and run away! Brenton, grab as many of the white stones as you can and use Protect to leap to the ground, limiting damage from the impact and stopping him retrieving the stones with Psychic again. Ernesta and Elmira, use Spider Web and 2 String Shots apiece to immobilise Reshiram, and Rhode use your little Earthquake technique to ground Zekrom, combining it with Smack Down and Rock Wrecker if you don't think it'll fall to the ground with Earthquake's force alone.

‡ Round 215 ‡

Inverted Duckbot hovers forward and prepares to do battle with Illumise. Both Pokemon nod and immediately start popping and snapping as they generate some heavy voltage. They release identical Thunder Waves at one another and, in a blinding glare of light, soon suffer immediate Paralyzed. Duckbot's and Illumise's bodies go stiff and rigid and the crow's anticipation mounts as the battlers stare at one another with vacant, glassy eyes. When Paralysis finally eases up, Duckbot zips toward Illumise and tackles her; however, the wily firefly Counters the attack by grabbing onto your Porygon-Z's horn and tossing him into a nearby stalk of bamboo.

The Pokemon who bet on Duckbot to win immediately rush over to Mankey and start begging for their money back.

Skyline Terrace
A strange town, all within the treetops. Long since abandoned by humans, the MASSIVE amount of Pokemon that live here all seem a bit strange and off kilter. The completely aerial town is connected by boardwalks, and the homes all resemble traditional Japanese style. One would think the townspeople were turned into Pokemon here!

‡ Round 161 ‡

Still trapped by Salvador's net, you shout more commands at your Pokemon and you're surprised they even manage to hear you given the fact that they're almost all the way to the city's border. Brenton makes a daring play for the Light Stones: it leaps off of Z's back and grabs two of the magical artifacts mid-jump. He then envelops himself in a translucent energy bubble that allows him to collide against the ground just outside Skyline Terrace without suffering any damage. Squinting, you can just barely see the evil and malice wipe clear from Reshiram's face as the Legendary Pokemon is once again wrested from Z's control.

Ernesta and Elmira immobilize Reshiram with a series of String Shots and Spider Webs. They Ariados sisters immobilize the Dragon's left wing, forcing it into a rough landing that it only just barely manages to execute. Reshiram touches down outside the city just a few feet from Brenton's Protective bubble as Rhode uses a series of powerful attacks to force Zekrom to the ground as well.

"I will not permit you to do this to me!" Z bellows.

The Porygon-Z targets Brenton with a Lock-On and a Zap Cannon, but the Electric-type move merely bursts against the Protect without effect. You then watch as Reshiram, its body still immobilized by Ernesta's and Elmira's attacks, opens its mouth and strikes its former master with a sudden and violent Blue Flare. It looks like you might have this battle in the bag.

Suddenly, Commissioner Noctowl and his Hoothoot squadron touch down on a boardwalk not far from you. Commissioner Noctowl appears to be speaking into a walkie-talkie.




"Mayor Ambipom, the threats have been led out of the city," Commissioner Noctowl says into the electronic device. "I repeat, all three of the intruders are no longer within Skyline Terrace's perimeter."

"Excellent!" says the voice on the other end. "I'm giving the order, then. Raise the Citywide Security Field! Keep the intruders out of the city!"

Commissioner Noctowl nods, pulls out a remote and presses a yellow button. The ground beneath you begins to quiver and you hear a distinct humming noise as though some distant generator has woken. Suddenly, the air begins to blaze with near-blinding light. You watch as an opaque barrier of golden energy rises into the sky and encloses Skyline Terrace within some colossal chrysalis. The security field forms a perfect sphere around the city.

"The Citywide Security Field has been raised, sir," Commissioner Noctowl says into his walkie-talkie. "We're safe now."

You can no longer see Brenton, Rhode or any of the others.

‡ Round 216 ‡

Inverted Duckbot once again is rendered immobile, leaving Illumise free to use that most fearsome of all Fighting-type moves. She closes her eyes and begins to hone her Focus before lashing out with a powerful Punch that throws Inverted Duckbot clear out of the clearing and into the forest. Just as you begin to wonder if you should head out and try to find him, Inverted Duckbot emerges from the forest and begins lashing out at Illumise with a series of random physical blows. It's suddenly the beautiful Bug-type's turn to play the Paralysis game as her body goes rigid, leaving her vulnerable to a sudden storm of ice and snow that bears down upon her.

You then throw the Great Ball. Illumise is contained within the small blue object.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

The crowd gasps as the Great Ball bursts open and Illumise returns to the field. Illumise winks and opens her arms to the sky. Though it's no longer night, she senses Moonlight from somewhere and begins to use it to restore health. She begins to laugh at Duckbot's surprised chirp.

Grah! Now she's just screwing with you.

‡ Round 217 ‡

Illumise and Inverted Duckbot once again crackle with electricity as they fire off Thunders at one another. You shield your eyes against the harsh glare and, when the light finally dims, you see that both Pokemon have gone stock-still thanks to Paralysis. They're both panting heavily.

You then give the Great Ball another toss. Illumise is once again sucked inside as the ball hits the ground.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

Click!

With that, you and your teammates are finally returned to the front desk where the attendant hands you the balls containing Scraggy, Darkrai and Illumise. She hopes you had a pleasant jaunt and wishes you a lovely evening.

Gah let me out! I need my pokemon and I had this battle in the bag! I can catch Reshiram! D: If Z gets away now he'll come back stronger and recovered, probably able to break the barrier or destroy the rest of the zone. I can stop him and save my poor Pokemon!

‡ Round 162 ‡

You approach Commissioner Noctowl and beg him to lower the Citywide Security Field.



"I apologize, human, but even if I wanted to do that—which I don't—it's simply not possible," Commissioner Noctowl explains. "Once the field has been raised, it cannot be decommissioned for twelve hours."

You imagine all the destruction that Z could accomplish in twelve hours. It's almost certain that Brenton and Rhode won't last that long without you behind them calling strategy. However, Commissioner Noctowl isn't entirely useless: he combines and Air Slash and an Air Cutter to free you and Sabaku from the reinforced net.

"The Citywide Security Field forms a perfect sphere around the city," Commissioner Noctowl says. "You cannot Dig under it just like you can't pass through it with moves such as Teleport or Faint Attack. I understand you're worried about your Pokemon, human, but these measures might have just saved the entire city. You have to keep the greater good in mind. This is the utilitarian thing to do."

You're not sure you like Commissioner Noctowl so much.

It's hardly the 'greater good' if Z destroys the entire zone and most probably the barrier along with it! Trust me; he'll manage it with two legendary Pokemon and this God Stone that he's been looking for. If you're so sure that the barrier can't be lowered at all, then I'll just have to wait until it can, won't I.

[Ash0011]

or you can circumvent the barrier

‡ Round 164 ‡



Commissioner Noctowl starts to look a little peeved and perhaps also slightly guilty.

"Listen, you," he says, pointing a feather in your face. "I am the police commissioner of Skyline Terrace and my duty, above all else, is to protect its inhabitants. That's what I did. You're a human and come from outside the Safari Zone so maybe you don't know how these things work, but they generally have a way of sorting themselves out. That Giratina that escaped last summer? A prime example! So sit back, cool off and wait for folks outside the city who know much more than you to fix the problem! Got it?"

Clearly unaware that you were the one who stopped Giratina, Commissioner Noctowl spreads his wings and flies off with his fleet of Hoothoots. After a couple minutes of waiting, a familiar face comes hurrying up to you.



"Cynder!" Salvador shouts as he comes sprinting down a boardwalk toward you. "I've been looking everywhere for you! We have to do something! If we just sit back, Z will get the God Stone and then we'll really be sunk!"

I know! But it look like there's not way out for now - unless... I'll take a look at the forcefield and see exactly what it seems to be made of, and try and work out where the source of it is. I'm hoping that I can find a way to deflect it, but I may need to completely deactivate it to get out.

‡ Round 165 ‡

"Sounds like a plan," Salvador says, nodding. "Let's go!"

You, Salvador and Sabaku take the nearest boardwalk and follow it toward the city's edge. After several minutes of walking you finally reach the perimeter where the security field is crackling and humming in front of you. Hesitant, Sabaku reaches out and touches it. He's immediately zapped and tossed backwards in a daze. His injuries don't look severe, fortunately.

"Okay, ow, so we definitely can't go through it," Salvador confirms as he pulls himself up, "but I guess we knew that already. I don't think it can be deflected, either. The energy is too strong. The only way Mayor Ambipom and Commissioner Noctowl could generate a field this powerful is by diverting electricity from the city's power plant."

With Salvador leading the way, you make haste through a winding networks of boardwalks toward Skyline Terrace Power Plant. Soon, you come upon a colossal oak tree in the middle of the city upon which the power plant sits. You approach the doors only to find a Volbeat and an Illumise stationed outside.

psssh you don't have to deflect it it's probably just an electromagnetic shield generator, if you make a magnet bomb it should disrupt the current for long enough for you to slip through, sabaku should be fast enough and sal can make the magnet bomb
at least if the sz has any normal physics that would be how it would work

[Oslo]

The shield is part electricity, part magic. Not gonna work.

Also, please stop backseat questing? It's great that you have ideas and everything but the point is to test the quester, not you.

I know but your quests are so epic that... sigh I'll stop talking now

You murmur commands to Salvador and then distract the fireflies with a little more incessant pleading. Without them realizing, Salvador Sketches a pocketwatch and dangles it in front of their faces. By the time Volbeat and Illumise realize what's happening, they're already entranced by the swaying piece of metal. They're eyelids shut and they slump over into a world of dreams.

"Now we're free to enter," Salvador says. "However, I'm not sure how long those two will stay under. They'll probably cause trouble for us when they wake."
