Hypotenuse Man
You slowly move the flight of stairs. What little light you had upstairs is nonexistent in this new area, so it’s impossible to know what Pokemon are in this room by sight alone. Thankfully, you’re now close enough to make out some of the voices.

“I hear you two have been causing trouble around here,” a voice says. “You stupid Gastly. Why did you attack the little Shuppet in that manner?”

From above your head, you hear a slight whimper.

“Aw, they had it comin’ to ‘em!” calls another voice – presumably one of the Gastly. “The little whiner looked at me all weird!”

“And what of Sableye, huh?” the first voice speaks again. An unfamiliar grunt responds. “How did he offend you?”

“Look, yo. Why you gotta get up in our grill?” This is another new voice, although it sort of sounds like the Gastly from before. “Just cuz you’re some big, bad Spiritomb who all the little humans want, you think like you gonna push us around? Get lost.”

You may have an idea of the Pokemon in the room, but it’s still to dark to see anything. Even the staircase at your back is obscured from view, although you could probably backtrack if you tried.

What are you going to do?

The sun is shining brightly as you walk onwards. A small Shinx is bounding in and out of a Carnivine’s vines at your left. At first it looks like the two Pokemon are battling, but upon closer examination it appears that the Shinx is simply playing an odd jump rope game.

Straight ahead of you, two Pachirusu are splashing through a small group of mud puddles. Wait – actually, one of the Pachirusu has a very odd, twisted expression on its face. Perhaps it’s not all that it appears to be.
