Warwick Meadows
The wispy winds that blow through these flowery fields elicit a relaxing feeling The Pokemon that prosper here are all subdued and content with a laid back way of life. Pollen counts are high here, so allergy sufferers…beware.

‡ Round 153 ‡

You ask Ravenous Ralphie to provide you with transportation to the Safari Zone's volcanic island.

"Ravenous Ralphie enjoys Surfing very much!" he exclaims delightedly, clapping his paws together. "Ravenous Ralphie would be happy to take pipsqueak human and his Pokemon friends wherever they need to go."

Tranquil Shores
A small cove-style beach. There are lots of ocean pokemon to be found here, as well as Fire types enjoying the sun. Steel and electric-types may be able to detect treasure under the sand.

‡ Round 154 ‡

You mount Catherine who begins to gallop southward to Tranquil Shores. You watch as Ravenous Ralphie curls up into a ball and begins to Rollout after you. His speed ebbs and flows as the landscape gradually shifts from lush greens to warm yellows, though he seems to be having trouble keeping up. You soon arrive at Tranquil Shores a good distance ahead of Ralphie; when he eventually bursts out of a patch of grass and flops down on the open beach, he seems to be out of breath.

"Ravenous... Ralphie... needs... time... to... rest..." he wheezes.

You look around and see a few Pokemon occupying the beach.

Let's rest until Ralphie's ready to go, then we'll surf over to Shinsuke Volcano

[Oslo]

TEAM BTPOKE'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!

Shinsuke Island
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.

‡ Round 155 ‡

Once Ralphie has regained his energy, he bellyflops into the water and you hop aboard. You realize he makes an exceptional swimmer and his powerful strokes cut effortlessly through the water. Soon, you arrive at the volcanic shore of Shinsuke Island, a place to which you are no stranger.

You dismount and see a single Pansear suntanning lazily.



Behind you, you see a Shellder and a Corsola floating out on the water. They're conversing quietly with one another.

‡ Round 156 ‡

You begin the trek inland. Eventually, you arrive at a site you've visited before: the colossal pit of molten rock in the center of the island. You peer downward and see a Magcargo and a Torkoal swimming about in the bubbling liquid.



You also see the opening to the tunnels, but a Charizard seems to be blocking the way. She looks like she's standing guard.

‡ Round 157 ‡

You approach Charizard to see what she's guarding. Fortunately, she does not attack you.



"Sorry, human, but I can't permit you to enter our tunnels," she says in an officious voice. You see a badge on her chest labelled "Officer Charlene." "Some thieves looted our caverns last night and stole several Magmarizers the local Magmars were planning on using to evolve. Until the issue is revolved, no outsiders may pass."

Suddenly, without warning, Ravenous Ralphie keels over. He seems to have fallen asleep.

"Snorlaxes," Adelbert mutters, shaking his head.

‡ Round 158 ‡

You try to strike a deal with Officer Charlene.



"You'd really help us out?" she asks, sounding impressed. "If you can find the Magmarizers, I'll absolutely let you into our tunnels. No doubt about it. The only thing is, I caught a glimpse of the thieves and they were, well, human, which means they can't possibly be from Shinsuke Island. I might be able to point you in the right direction, though. There's a thieves' den somewhere in the Old Village where humans sometimes sell black market goods to Pokemon trainers, but I don't know where exactly. It's probably worth a shot."

Did you happen to see enough of them to get a decent description of them? i might need to know what they look like for future reference.

Also, if you "caught a glimpse" of the thieves, you must have attempted to stop them. Did you happen to see what mode of transportation they used to get away? It must have been fast in order to outrun a charizard.

"All the thieves looked roughly the same... they were men of average height with dark clothing. They were wearing ball caps, sunglasses and had white masks around the lower parts of their faces," Officer Charlene explains. "I rushed toward them as soon as I saw them, but one of them had a Magnemite that Teleported them away."

"What, like a forklift that can fly across the ocean?" Officer Charlene asks. "I'm afraid not. If you need transportation, I can take you to the Old Village, but if that Snorlax insists on sleeping then it's going to have to stay put."

[Ash0011]

seems to be a lot of thieves around here lately

The Old Village
An abandoned part of the village that is set for refurbishment some time in the future. Who knows what you can find here, pokemon seem to flock to it from wherever they are. There's also rumours of places hidden beneath the old village.

‡ Round 161 ‡

You hop aboard Officer Charlene's back and then take off. As it turns out, Flying proves to be a wonderful way to travel: without having to accommodate for changes in terrain below, Charlene glides effortlessly over water and land alike as she shoots off toward the Old Village. In record time, you find yourself setting down upon a vaguely familiar cobblestone square. You look around and see a number of Pokemon trainers and their accompanying Pokemon ambling around town.




"I wish I knew where exactly the thieves' hideout might be," Officer Charlene mutters.

"Thieves' den? Why, I've never heard of such a thing!" he declares loudly, looking around.

"I look like an idiot," Charlene snaps. "Is this really the best you can do?"

You then make haste after the scientist. You twist through various back alleys until you find yourself standing outside the rear entrance to an old hotel. The scientist then doffs his white lab coat to reveal black garments underneath. He puts on a hat, sunglasses and a white mask.



"Here we are!" he says. "Oh, and it looks like you brought friends. Neat. Just hand your Pokemon over to the guard on the way in."

The scientist hands over the Pokeball containing his Garbodor to the guard before slipping into the building. The guard then turns to you.

You actually manage to formulate a pretty feasible excuse.



"Wow, really?" the guard asks. "That sucks. Thieves are the worst. I mean, yeah, I am a thief, but it really sucks to fall victim to other thieves. So yeah, enter and hopefully we'll be able to help you out."

You enter the den and walk down an ill-lit hallway until you come upon what looks like a dilapidated ballroom. Various individuals garbed in black wander in and out of the room. Your scientist-slash-thief acquaintance is seated behind a large table covered with various items.







"Here's the Magmarizer you asked about," the thief says, gesturing to the red cube. "You can have it for cheap, too, since we have a ton in storage. We just nabbed a bunch from Shinsuke last night. Anyway, I'm thinking you can have it for... 1000 Pokedollars?"

Something catches Adelbert's eye.

"Is that a Dragon Scale?" Adelbert asks, gesturing at the yellow-blue thing on the table.

"You bet it is!" the thief responds. "We plucked it from a Kingdra just last week. It's the only one we have, though, so it's going to cost you 5000 Pokedollars."

You ask the thief if there's anything you can do in exchange for the Dragon Scale besides giving him money, which strongly sounds like you're prostituting yourself. Fortunately, he doesn't interpret it that way.







"Sorry, bud, but this is a business," the thief says. "If you don't have the cash, you can't get the item."

You then excuse yourself and speak to Charlene in private.

"I hope you're not losing focus here," she says, sounding mildly annoyed. "This is supposed to be about us finding the stolen Magmarizers. It's not an opportunity for you to hunt down whatever items you might have on your own personal shopping list. We need to either trick him into leading us to the storage room he mentioned or we need to sneak away and find it ourselves."

Now, let me think of something... Well, we could just ask for more than one magmarizer. He'll just head off to the storage room to get more, and then we could stalk him to find it.

That would be a problem if he asked for money up front, though. Wait, I might have an idea."

I'll then beckon adelbert over to chat with us.

"Adelbert, is it possible for you to create an illusion that will make the guy think we're paying him money? I have an idea, but we might need some 'funds.'"
