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

[BTPoke]

Rosalinda, you're probably gonna be able to help out the most, considering you know some electric attacks. Plus, your psychic abilities will help locate the best fish.

"yes, I'm going to sign up with my Ralts."

Ivy Lake
A secluded lake in the middle of the forest, you'll find rare Dragons here, along with all the usual Water types. Rumour has it, that there's a cave hidden underwater...

‡ Round 58 ‡

You approach Seismitoad and register yourself and Rosalinda for the contest.



"Wonderful," Seismitoad says as he writes down your information. "With that, the contest registration had concluded! Now, the rules... you will have thirty minutes to catch the best Water-type Pokemon in the lake. Once you've hooked a Pokemon, you will need to reel it in and then battle with it before you can catch it in one of your Lure Balls. Once you have a Pokemon, you're welcome to come back to shore and retire. That said, you want to keep looking for a better Pokemon... and you're encouraged to do so... that's up to you. You can catch as many as five Pokemon; however, when judging time begins, you can only choose one of those five to be judged. So be strategic! Catches will be ranked on size, weight, how far along the Pokemon is on its evolution chain and rarity, so it's important to keep this in mind while catching and submitting Pokemon for evaluation. Oh, and remember, just because you catch a Pokemon in a Lure Ball does not mean you actually own said Pokemon. If, however, you want to battle and capture that Pokemon for keeps once the contest is over, that's up to you! Oh, and before I forget... you're playing for this fabulous prize!"

He gestures to a tank of water beside the table. In it, you see a long, blue Pokemon swimming around. It smiles at you.



"Now," Seismitoad says, "take your Lure Balls... your rod... and the boats are on the shore! And with that, the contest is officially underway! Begin!"

The other trainers and their Pokemon hurry and go for the boats.






Sake and Eevee wish you good luck.

Rosalinda uses her powers to sense the lake's depth. She points you right to the center of the lake and you paddle out before casting your line. You don't see any other boats nearby, fortunately.

No sooner do you cast then you feel a tug on your line! Oh my!

You reel slowly, but whatever you've hooked doesn't seem to be giving you much resistance. As the fish gets closer, you reel a little faster... and faster... and with one final tug, you pull your catch up out of the water!



It looks to be average weight for its species.

All right Hanzo, do your thing. Teleport the three of us to Ruskie Tundra! Tesla, be on guard when we get there, we don't know what might be nearby when we arrive, and I don't want to get caught off guard.

[BTPoke]

ugh! this isn't working! send it back. Rosa, I need your help. We need to locate a heavy fish with some really large mass. Is it possible you can try locating a fish with a large mass with your Psychic abilities? if so, we're heading there.

Hanzo Teleports the three of you to a wide expanse of barren, snowy land. Hail whips against your face and you shield your eyes against the brutal elements. Your Pokemon follow suit. Squinting, you just barely make out four Stantlers trudging through the snow. Not too far off, a Vanillite and a Delibird are doing battle.

You toss the Azumarill aside and get Rosalinda to try sensing a heavy fish. She closes her eyes, places her hands to her temples and concentrates... and then jumps up and down! She senses that something large has just swum beneath your boat.

You cast your line and, immediately, you feel a bite.

You also feel your boat getting slowly dragged through the water... egads!

‡ Round 67 ‡

You reel as hard as you can while getting Rosalinda to keep the line secure with her Psychic powers. It proves to be tremendously difficult and, at one point, your grip slips and the hooked Pokemon begins to swim away. However, you regain command over your fishing rod and reel as hard as you can. At last, you pull your hooked Pokemon out of the water.



It looks to be above-average weight for its species. Plus, its shininess increases its rarity.

At that moment, entirely by coincidence, you realize your egg has started to wiggle about in the boat.



It's beginning to hatch.

EDIT: just to be clear, I'm gonna be holding onto the egg.

‡ Round 26 ‡

Speaking into the transmitter, you ask Steve what the deal is.

"A digital keypad?" he asks. "Hrm. That wasn't there when I went to school. It must be new. Here, let me see if I can patch in... hold on."

You pause for a minute as the voice on the other end of the line goes silent. After a second, it returns.

"Yeah, sorry, Ernesta must have put up a firewall around the door or something to prevent digital intrusion," Steve says. "I'm not sure I can help you."

‡ Round 68 ‡



Floatzel releases herself from the rod and treads water beside your boat, ready to battle. She attacks Rosalinda with a Water Gun, nearly knocking her into the lake. Rosalinda, however, holds onto Floatzel with a Psychic attack and then zaps the yellow Pokemon with a Thunderbolt. Electricity crackles up and down Floatzel's body, inducing immediate Paralysis.

Meanwhile, you hold onto your egg. The shell breaks open and a tiny Pokemon hops out onto your lap.



Chinchou looks left, looks right... and, being a baby, lets out a high-pitched shriek.

Floatzel claps her hands over her ears. She doesn't like the sound.

Steve, do you know if Ernesta liked anything in particular? I know she has an interest in legendaries, did she ever have a favourite or something? I don't wanna break down the door, too conspicuous. Wait, Sababku, can you use Faint Attack to go through the door and retrieve the item?

You approach the Stantlers and, over the roaring hailstorm, ask if they know how to find Diamond Dust Cavern.



"We're going there ourselves, actually," the leader says in a deep, gruff voice. "Our youngest is wounded."

You look over and see that one of the Stantlers has a bum leg.

"If you'd like, we can take you there," Stantler explains. "Hop aboard. It might be a dangerous trek, though... we Stantlers often attract unwanted attention. You've been warned."

Alright, Rosa, it's combo time. Use Magical Leaf, and supercharge it with Shock wave!

(By the way, since I hatched an egg, do I automatically get a pokeball for it? or do I have to use one of my own?)

Sabaku tries to Faint Attack through the door, but it doesn't work. It seems to be reinforced by more than just steel.

"A favourite?" Steve muses. "Hrm. Yes, actually... man, I forget what it's called. It's, uh... big... y'know... it's got claws... a nasty look about it... rare... er, did I mention big? Wait, let me ask Salvador... okay, yeah, he says he doesn't remember either but he says it's the leader of two other Legendary Pokemon. If that helps."

‡ Round 69 ‡

Rosalinda attacks Floatzel with a combination of Shock Wave and Magical Leaf, doing significant damage. As this is going on, Chinchou is still screaming and crying despite your efforts to calm its nerves.



At this point, Floatzel doesn't seem to be able to take the sound of Chinchou's crying anymore. She begins swimming away from that horrible sound... and ends up swimming right into the side of another boat no more than fifteen feet away from yours.



"Oh my!" the fisherman cries from his boat. "A shiny Floatzel! Kingdra, attack it with three Dragon Pulses!"

The fisherman's Kingdra leaps into the water and attacks Floatzel with a barrage of energy-based strikes. Uh-oh.

Meanwhile, the fisherman ignores your pleas and raises a Lure Ball of his own before Rosalinda can strike.



"Lure Ball, go!" he shouts, tossing his ball at Floatzel. Floatzel is contained in the ball, which lands on the edge of his boat.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

Click.

Your heart sinks.

Suddenly, from the shore, you hear Seismitoad's shout.

"Competitors are reminded that ten minutes remain!" he bellows. "I repeat, ten minutes remain!"

"All captures are final!" he bellows back. "If your catch gets away from you and someone else intervenes, that's your problem, not theirs."

Using her Psychic skills, Rosalinda leads you to a spot in the water far from where you were, because all the shouting you've been doing has scared everyone away. You drop your line, get a quick bite... but it immediately swims away.

You drop your line again and, after a minute, you hook something. Joy.
