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

[Oslo]

TEAM BTPOKE'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!

Shinsuke Volcano
This Volcanic Island - previously hidden away; can now be seen from the shore. A massive pool of magma lies deep in its center, but one can walk down quite a ways and find a variety of Fire Types enjoying the heated tunnels. Some hardier Flying Pokemon line the edges of the Volcano as well. A tall Pagoda stands on the Island as well, the only man-made structure here. If you fish from shore, Water Pokemon encounter rates are the same as for Tranquil Shores.

‡ Round 109 ‡

Druddigon continues Outraging madly, clobbering Rosalinda over and over with everything she's got. Rosalinda, meanwhile, finds that her body is again overcome with Paralysis... but, when movement returns, she glows with Psychic power and smiles wickedly. Druddigon tries to continue her melee assault, but Rosalinda's Psychic attack prevents such from happening. Instead, Rosalinda causes Druddigon to bash herself in the face with those wicked claws, doing super effective damage. Eek. That looks painful.

All this Outraging appears to have taken its toll on Druddigon. She stumbles, visibly Confused. She starts smacking herself in the face again, but not because Rosalinda is forcing her to. Rosalinda, meanwhile, blasts the Dragon with another Icy Wind.

Hey! Critical hit!

‡ Round 110 ‡

Druddigon's body locks up with Paralysis as Rosalinda blasts the Dragon with one final Icy Wind. You pluck the remaining Pokeball from your belt and remember that, yes, this is the one you nicked from the pile of goods back in the Old Village's sewer... and it hits you exactly how far you've come.

Well, no time for nostalgia. It's catching time!

You whip the Pokeball at Druddigon and watch as she's sucked into its hollow chamber. The ball falls to the ground.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

And...

Click!

Suddenly, you're teleported to the Safari Zone's main station. The Abra hands over four Pokeballs containing Chinchou, Dratini, Eevee and Druddigon. She wishes you the best as your quest comes to a close.

I'm sorry sir, I was never taught how to use that move! I normally use Thunderbolt against water types, and to hit ground and rock types I just use Fighting type attacks. It's never really been a neccessary move for me to use!

You hand over the package to Barnabas and he looks inside. You see that in contains various antidotes and other medical supplies.

"Thank you!" the Lopunny says. "Now I'll be able to make a proper splint. Hold still, little one."



Barnabas secures a splint for the little Stantler's leg then gets up and looks over at Froslass and Snorunt hovering near the entrance of the cavern.



"Do you know if they need anything?" he asks you.

‡ Round 41 ‡



"Hrm," Mr. Mime says disapprovingly as you offer an excuse. "It's important to master a plenitude of moves, Cynder, as you never know when you'll be up against something like a Swampert. Now, this is interesting... you seem to be well-versed in theory but behind in terms of some of battling's practical aspects. Well, I'm curious to see how you'll pass this next test. I want to see your tactical know-how in action. Sabaku, Brenton, Rhode, come to the front of the room. Cynder, you'll command them like a Pokemon trainer in a battle against me. If you win, I'll send you to see Headmistress Ernesta so you can get your timetable fixed. That said, I wouldn't get your hopes up. You're all unevolved Pokemon and I have been battling for quite some time, so don't take it personally if you lose, mmkay?"

The Snorunt looks ill, I think it's making the Forslass more concerned for their safety which is why she's lashing out at everyone who comes across her. Right now, she's probably more frightened than her child is. I convinced her to come, so i'll accompany you if you wish to speak to her.

[Cynder]

Okay then, fine by me! For now, I'll use Rhode to battle.

Alrighty then, we don't want to ruin the classroom, so let's take it easy! Start off with a Drill Run, followed by Crunch and finish with a Megahorn.

‡ Round 39 ‡

You lead Barnabas over to cavern's threshold where Froslass and Snorunt hang back with trepidation.



Barnabas examines the little Snorunt, who's still flushed and starts coughing.

"I have just the thing for the little guy," Barnabas murmurs, pulling a Full Restore out of his box. "Now, hold still while I administer this."

Froslass hesitates as Barnabas points the bottle at her child, but she sees that you are on Barnabas's side and appears somewhat calmed by this fact. Barnabas sprays the medicine all over Snorunt and, in moments, the red in the child's face begins to fade. The little guy jumps up and down, energetic and happy.

"Well, that's that," Barnabas says. "Your child ought to be good as new."

Tears begin to well in Froslass's eyes as she inclines her head toward you and Barnabas. Even without words, you know she is offering her thanks. She hoists Snorunt into her arms and then steps outside. A swell of snow rises and, soon, they are gone.

"Thank you for delivering my supplies, human," Barnabas says. "I wasn't aware the Skyline Terrace Post Office employed Pokemon trainers, but, well, there you go. Listen, I want you to have something. Wait here."

He scurries off down one of the tunnels and returns after no more than a minute. He's holding a map in his hands.

"It's really all I have to give. Take it," he tells you, holding the map out. "It's a map of the Underground Mausoleum beneath Crush Quarry. It plots various fossils that you can find and restore. You might use it, you might not, but I want to give you something nonetheless."

‡ Round 42 ‡

You decide to use Rhode against Mr. Mime first.

"Don't worry, Rhode," Mr. Mime says, folding his arms smugly. "I don't expect you to be able to do any harm to me. You are, after all, a child. Be sure to give it your best shot!"

And so Rhode does. With all the strength of a Rhyperior, he drives his horn like a drill into Mr. Mime's leg, causing the lanky Pokemon to yelp loudly. He quickly looks embarrassed by his outburst.

"Er, not that that hurt or anything," Mr. Mime says. "No, uh, of course not."

Mr. Mime proceeds to enter a meditative state in order to Calm his Mind. Once he's reached an appropriate state of nirvana, he snatches up Rhode with Psychic energy and then slams him against the ground with a great deal of vigour.

"Don't worry, little one," he says. "I'm sure that hurt, but it's all part of the--"

Mr. Mime never gets to finish his sentence on account of how Rhode leaps up and Crunches his fearsome fangs around the teacher's face. Mr. Mime flails his arms around wildly and the class begins laughing hysterically. When Mr. Mime manages to free himself, he stumbles backward in a daze and tries to retaliate with a Focus Blast. However, he's so shocked by the ordeal that his attack misses Rhode entirely and strikes a globe at the front of the room. The globe bursts. Rhode finishes this round by goring Mr. Mime in the chest with a powerful Megahorn.

"Okay, okay, uh, you had the element of surprise on your side," Mr. Mime says as he recovers from that attack. "Beginner's luck is what we'll call it. Here, now you swap out with someone less stro-- er, someone who hasn't yet had a chance to go, I mean. Sabaku? It's your turn."

‡ Round 40 ‡

You take the map but decide that, rather than setting out, you'd like to explore Diamond Dust Cavern a little further. Taking one of the winding tunnels, you and your Pokemon trek through the cave, still warm thanks to those handy-dandy fur coats. Now that you're no longer worrying about any sick or injured Pokemon, you can fully appreciate the silver-blue gleam to the cavern's walls.

After a few minutes, you come out into a large room. It's filled with no less than seven sleeping bears.




Man, you sure have encountered a lot of Pokefamilies...

‡ Round 44 ‡

Rhode swaps out as Sabaku steps up in his stead. She scuttles forward and chomps down on one of Mr. Mime's ankles. He lets out a pained shout.

"A Ground-type, eh," Mr. Mime says as she shakes off the pain. His body takes on a luminous green glow as his body absorbs light from the windows.

While Mr. Mime charges, Sabaku pops out of existence and reappears beneath Mr. Mime. With a poised slashing motion, she tears into the teacher with a strike of concentrated Dark-type energy. Mr. Mime does an about-face and blasts Sabaku with a close-range SolarBeam. She's promptly thrown into the classroom door.

"Sorry to subdue you like that," Mr. Mime says breathlessly. "I'll understand if you can battle no further, Sabaku. My SolarBeam is, after all, one of my most deadly--"

And again Mr. Mime finds himself unable to finish a sentence. Sabaku bounds back and locks her wide jaws over his face, preventing him from doing anything but teetering about blindly. He tries to retaliate with an Energy Ball, but his disorientation causes the attack to miss by a considerable distance. It instead collides with one of the overhead fluorescent lights which bursts in a shower of glass.

"My apologies," Mr. Mime says in a very muffled way as he wrenches Sabaku off of his head. "Er, okay, Brenton! You're up. Yes, a Pokemon with no Bug, Dark or Ghost moves. Now there's no way I can lose... out on this wonderful opportunity to teach you about battling! Er, yeah."

‡ Round 45 ‡

You're not entirely sure how Mr. Mime thinks he can still win this, but he attempts nonetheless. He hoists Brenton into the air and tosses him against the chalk board, smearing his blue skin with white. However, Brenton charges at Mr. Mime and lays into him with a series of physical swipes. Mr. Mime busts out the DoubleSlaps and tries to subdue Brenton, but it doesn't quite pan out. Even with recoil damage, Brenton defeats Mr. Mime with minimal effort. The teacher falls.

The class gasps and lean over in their seats. After a second, you hear a noise.

"Ow," Mr. Mime moans as he pulls himself up. "Okay, okay. Cynder, your strategic skills far outstrip Battle Tactics 101. Were this a more advanced context, I, er, really would have felt comfortable bringing the heat against you guys. Nonetheless, Cynder, feel free to go to Headmistress Ernesta's office so your timetable can be fixed. Sabaku, Brenton, Rhode, you all can go with her and do the same. You three battled like fully evolved Pokemon, not children. Well done."



Mr. Mime snaps his fingers and heals all of you with a Healing Wish before ushering you out into the hallway. Suddenly, you hear Steve through the transmitted.

"Sorry to eavesdrop, Cynder," Steve says. "I could hear everything going around you. Good work, by the way. If you're coming out of Mr. Mime's classroom, take a left and the stairs leading up to Ernesta's office should be at the end of the corridor."

You approach a nearby drinking fountain and splash a little water onto you. Salvador's paint runs rather easily, revealing the human beneath the Mankey exterior. Sabaku, Brenton and Rhode don't necessarily look thrilled about having to continue looking like first-stage Pokemon, but they don't put up a fight.

You knock on the door to Ernesta's office and hear her beckon you in. You open the door and step into a large, orderly room in which an Ariados is seated behind an old oak desk. She seems bewildered to see a human.

Ernesta, I believe you may have information on the legendary Pokemon Reshiram? I'm currently searching for it, thus I would like to make a trade of info; you tell me what you know about Reshiram, and when I find it I'll tell you all I discover.

What makes you think you can trust me? Well, I'm the one who captured that Giratina that got loose in Crush Quarry not too long ago; and one of the Pokemon that I have with me right now was in the Quarry at the time, I caught him not long afterwards.

‡ Round 48 ‡

You explain your desire for Reshiram to Ernesta. She seems skeptical right up until you mention Giratina. Suddenly, her stern demeanour melts away into a gleeful, almost childlike disposition.



"That was you?" she says in disbelief. "Incredible! I used to conduct digs in Crush Quarry to find Legendary artefacts, you know. I was the one who first found the secret chamber in the Escapee Tunnel where the Griseous Orb was being held, though that was years and years ago. A pity it had to be destroyed. I'm usually quite reticent when it comes to my knowledge on Legendary Pokemon, you see, because of the disastrous consequences that could arise if the information got into the wrong hands, but if you managed to capture Giratina then I trust you. Reshiram and its pair, Zekrom, are much the same. Their essences lie in artefacts known as Light Stones and Dark Stones. Once you have collected three Stones of the same colour, you must take them to Platrin Plateau where the essences can be extracted and the Dragon you seek can be restored to its corporeal form. Though the Stones are scattered throughout the Safari Zone, you won't need to resort of guesswork to find them. You see, once you have found one Light Stone, it will provide you with a series of flashes that will help you locate the next. It's as simple as that. Of course, finding that first Light Stone might prove to be the hard part."

A self-satisfied smile flits across Ernesta's face. She's holding something back.

"Oh, I wouldn't make you do that," Ernesta says. "I have no qualms with letting you have my Light Stone. I only ask that you let me come with you. I've considered seeking out the other Stones and restoring Reshiram and Zekrom myself, but I'm starting to get on in years. I wonder if it's time for me to retire and pass on the torch to a new generation of Legend hunters.

‡ Round 51 ‡

Ernesta joins your party.

"I only need to grab the Light Stone and then we're off," Ernesta says, scuttling out from behind her desk. "Follow me!"

She leads you out of her office and down the stairs. Once you're back on the ground floor, Ernesta takes you through a few corridors until you return to a familiar location: the basement entrance. A bad feeling starts to overcome you at this point but you push it out of your head. Ernesta leads you down the steps into the room with all the miscellaneous desks, tables and chairs. You follow her down the left corridor to the reinforced door with the keypad. At this point, the bad feeling returns with doubled weight.

You watch as Ernesta punches the six-digit password into the keypad and the door clicks open. She scuttles toward one of the shelves and peruses it carefully. After a few minutes of increasingly anxious searching, she turns to you with a look of concern on her face.

"I... I don't understand!" she exclaims. "This doesn't make any sense. I was down here just this morning to check on things and my Light Stone was right here! It's supposed to be in a small white box, but now I can't find it anywhere. I think it's been taken!"

‡ Round 53 ‡

You explain what happened. Before Ernesta can chastise you further, Steve's voice comes in from the other end of the transmitter. Ernesta seems to notice your earpiece for the first time.

"So you figured it out," Steve says. "Thanks for getting us that Light Stone, Cynder! Not only that, but we heard your little chat with Ernesta. Don't even bother trying to find us. Salvador Sketched some wings for himself and we're presently Flying to the location of the next Light Stone. Pretty soon we'll have Reshiram and all of its power under our command. Smell ya later!"

The line goes dead. Who does he think he is, Gary Oak?

"You imbecile!" Ernesta shrieks. "You don't understand. Steven W. Porygon and Salvador Q. Smeargle were two of the most troubled students this school has ever seen. They were expelled a couple of years ago after they tried to steal the Light Stone from this room. Now that they have it they'll try to resurrect Reshiram. To let them command such power would be disastrous."

All of a sudden, Ernesta looks like she has an epiphany. She continues searching the shelves a little more until she finds another box almost identical to the one you took except this one is black. She opens the box and pulls out the Dark Stone. It shines like obsidian even in the dim light.

"At least they don't have this," she says.
