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

[BTPoke]

Veronica, Catherine, chase after that creature. We'll catch up to you later.

Anyway, Hadley, let's start up a conversation with that zigzagoon, perhaps.

EDIT: Oslo, you little jerk, you made me set Zekrom free xD

TEAM BTPOKE'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!

Ffeffni Mountain
This large mountain is very cold and has biting winds nipping around. There is a layer of snow falling and many ice types can be found here. Also look for hardier bird Pokemon and a variety of tough foes.

‡ Round 34 ‡

You send Veronica and Catherine after the big black shape. Hadley, meanwhile, decides to fill the vacancies by joining your party. Your Pokedex makes you privy to your stats and that's when you realize she wasn't joking. She really is stronger than the average Zigzagoon.

Hadley then approaches the Zigzagoon and tries to start up conversation.

"Soooo," she says, "that's, uh, some weather we're having, eh?"



The Zigzagoon blinks once and then scurries away. He heads off in the opposite direction than where Veronica and Catherine went.

"There's a bit of bad blood between my colony and the Zigzagoons that live here and Ffeffni," Hadley confesses. "Our groups don't exactly get along famously. If we hurry, though, we might be able to catch him and convince him to help."

How do you proceed?

> Follow Veronica and Catherine
> Follow Zigzagoon

‡ Round 200 ‡

Sabaku shoots off skyward and prepares to take the Dark Stones away from Z. However, that's when you realize that Z isn't just aimlessly shrieking but rather Uproaring in an attempt to maintain consciousness. The attack works: Z's fatigue dissipates while Sabaku is tossed backwards by the sound waves. Meanwhile, Reshiram takes flight and jets off after Zekrom. He knocks the Deep Black Pokemon aside with a Dragon Tail and tries to continue toward Z, but the attempt fails. You watch as Z causes two silvery translucent energy bubbles to materialize overhead: one around Reshiram and Zekrom and the other around Sabaku and Z. Reshiram and Sabaku try to breach the bubbles, but their attempts fail: they merely slam into the barriers without effect. Meanwhile, Rhode tries to fire two Rock Wreckers at Z, but the attacks merely smash against the bubble uselessly.

"You irritated me in Platin Plateau, you irritated me in Skyline Terrace and you continue to irritate me now, human," Z intones. "We will finish this now, clean and precise. One on one, though you may swap your team in and out as necessary. Now, servant, destroy your twin!"

Peering at the action ensuing over the lake, you watch as Zekrom flies toward Reshiram and attacks with a powerful Dragon Claw. Meanwhile, Z rockets forward and collides into Sabaku with a blazing Giga Impact. Both attacks look equally painful.

Something near the tunnel entrance catches your eye. You see two Pokemon watching the battle. Neither of them are native to Ffeffni.



Um.

How do you proceed?

> Issue commands to Reshiram and Sabaku
> Swap out Sabaku
> Greet the newcomers?
