Round Five

You land nearby and approach the two pokemon carefully. They stop and sniff the air, wary of your approach, but stay and wait for you anyway.

"Hey Merv. Hey Elvins. Long time no see."



"You smell familiar human, and you know our names." Elvins the Houndoom says cautiously.

"Oh! Oh!" Merv yips excitedly "Oh it's pudding foot! Hey you look much older than before. Oh wow, your Ralts is all grown up, she looks super cool!"

"Quiet Merv." Elvins says, and the Poochyena mumbles under his breath but quietens nonetheless. "Yes, I remember you now. What brings you to these parts again?"

"Have either of you seen your dad as of late? I have a few questions for him."

"Our father?" Elvins says, raising an eyebrow "We have not seen him since he left with the others to investigate the old house."

"Old house?" you ask.

"The old mansion in the forest!" Merv buts in and receives an angry growl from the Houndoom. The puppy ignores him and continues "It's been abandoned for years. Years and years! But recently there have been strange lights and noises coming from inside. Nobody knows what's behind it, not even the ghosts, and they're usually behind everything!"

"Merv, enough! This is Grave's Yard business, it is for our kind to deal with. You should not get involved human, turn around and go home."

- Haunted house huh?
- I'm outta here!

[BTPoke]

Well, maybe I could help with the old house stuff. My pokemon are stronger than last time we've been here, so I'm sure we'll be useful. Mind telling us where this house is?

Round Fifty-Eight

You call for Vigilance to be.. vigilant. Expecting the worst, you feel our way around the statue again. You feel lots of pointy bits, long arms and sinpdly legs, and a big tail of some kind. A sudden sharp point digs into your skin and you yelp and jump back. In the split second it took for you to blink in shock, you have left the confines of the temple, and find yourself in the middle of a dark, dank warehouse. Huge stacks of boxes, barrels and other containers tower above you, stacked close together leaving you in the narrow pathways between them. A quiet sobbing noise is coming from nearby.

Following the noise, you come across a small pokemon, along in the dark, weeping gently.



- Speak to the pokemon
- Attack!

Round Six



"It's in the forest to the east, you can't see it from the sky, you have to follow the wisps!" Merv says excitedly before Elvins can stop him.

"Merv! You will be silent! Human, go home. Your offer of help is welcome, but I will not accept responsibility for another life lost to that house. Merv, come on."

Merv reluctantly follows Elvins and the two disappear along the path, leaving you and your pokemon to ponder your next move.

- Follow them
- Head to the eastern forest
- Try to find out more

[BTPoke]

risking my life to an old creepy house, most likely haunted, that has apparently taken other lives? SOUNDS FUN!

Let's head east, then!

Round Twenty-One



You ask Poliwag if he;d like to join your team. His eyes swell up and he disappears down under the water. Oh. Well that was a bit of a disappointment. Suddenly a massive splash appears as Poliwag bursts back out of the water, does a forward flip tumble in the air and lands back in the boat. The water follows him and soaks you and Taco again, but washes you and the boat clean of the mud and muck.

"Would I! Wow, that's so cool! Lets go!"

Nodding, and reaching for a damp pokeball, you bonk it against Poliwag's head and the little pokemon is sucked inside.

Wiggle..
Wiggle..
Click!

Poliwag is caught, and the pokeball is teleported away to the front desk for safe keeping. Taco smiles, and shakes off the water that her body naturally resists, but you aren't so lucky.

- Keep fishing

"Hey Buneary. What's wrong. Why you crying"

You place a hand on Buneary's shoulder, and the pokemon topples onto the floor. You take a step back in shock when you realise the Buneary was just a pokedoll, hunched over a speaker playing a sound effect of sobbing. The sobbing bursts into static, and a high pitched, maniacal laughter echoes all around the warehouse. You can't tell what direction it's coming from, but it's getting louder and crazier with each second.

A shape appears out of the shadows, rakes sharp claws across Vigilance's wing and then vanishes into the shadows again, the laughter never stopping.

- Aaaaahh!!
- Attack!!

[DarkestLight]

Oh.
Hell. No. Ill dance with darkness. Foresight this room Vig, its time to see what we are messing with. Any area of blockage, we attack with Wing Attack twice. If you see it though...featherdance, then wing attack

Round Sixty

Vigilance focuses and reaches out with her keen senses. Her eyesight is already excellent, but with foresight, she can almost see things before they happen. Time almost slows down in her line of vision, and she not only sees things much sharper than before, but is able to focus on what is and isn't real. She casts her gaze across the warehouse, and sees a not-quite-a-shadow moving around unseen. Less of a shadow, more of an absense of mass, a sort of see-through blur in the shape of a pokemon. It seems to vanish and reappear in different spots as it bounds towards the Pidgeot. Vig lets out a loud caw as the thing approaches and flaps a flurry of loose feathers at the foe.

The layer of down smothers the illusion, and the thing hiding beneath it comes into plain sight. A hideous creature with vibrant hair and a pale face stares at you, it's eyes wide with fury but its grin pulled up in a grin.



"Yeeehheeheeaahahhaaa!"

It claps its paws together, then throws them out towards Vig. A ball of darkness is tossed through the air, exploding when it hits the flying type. Vig lets out a shriek of defiance, and dives at her opponent, ripping across its body with an outstretched wing. The strange Zoroark doesn't let up on the crazy grin, it laughs again, then leaps up onto the nearest stack of boxes and vanishes into the shadows.

[DarkestLight]

Round Twenty-Two

Rowing back to shore, you reach the edge of the pond-come-lake and climb out, Taco hopping over the side of the boat and seeming to enjoy being back on dry, grassy land again. Waddling over to you is Dinny Skips, the owner of the fishing shack. He looks a bit flustered.



"What happened to the boat?! It's.. it's filthy! I should charge you extra! But it's a free service! I never should gone into business..."

You shrug and head into the open space so the sun can dry you off. There is a board nearby with a map of the area. You stop to look at it, and it has a list of the various Safari Zones and a brief description of them. Maybe you can get some ideas where to go next.

- Where to next?

Grave's Yard
A frightening place where all the worst stories originate.
Home to Ghost and Dark type pokémon, you may find a rare Psychic type, but only the bravest dare tread here.

Round Seven

You decide to head east, using the setting sun as a compass point, you walk with it casting a shadow in front of you. There is little to see on the path as you walk, nothing but old tree trunks, random lumps of rock and the occasional patch of long, dying grass. Eventually you find yourself approaching the edge of a forest. Though it seems light on foliage where you are, you can see that further ahead it starts to get darker as the trees are closer together. The path carries on following the edge of the forest, and continues on unobstructed. You look to the forest, and can see patches on the ground that have been tread on, a path formed by lots of people or pokemon walking across the ground.

- Follow the outer path
- Head into the forest

[BTPoke]

Well, considering the tracks were most likely left by the pokemon that were sent into the house in the first place, I say we follow those.

Into the forest!

Round Twenty-Four

The map indicates that the entrance to Grave's Yard isn't far, and it's well within walking distance. You decide that said destination might be worth a look and head there. It's not a long walk, but it's certainly longer than you thought it would be. Taco appears to tire after being out of her pokeball and trekking the entire distance, and you are forced to recall her leaving you without any companions to walk alongside you. Finally you come upon the wrought iron fence that surrounds Grave's Yard and you enter through the main gates. Rows of graves welcomd you, and it is not the lively place that Skinny Dip's Pond was. Many people and pokemon walk around in contemplative silence. What do you do?

- Go ghost hunting
- Pay your respects
- Something else?

Round Eight

Heading into the heart of the forest it quickly becomes difficult to walk. There are so many trees with large branches and huge roots that you are resorted to climbing over and ducking under plant life in order to get further along. Eventually, you come to a more open path, that whilst narrow, seems to be free of obstruction. You follow the path for some distance, and it is both comforting and worrying that through the entire trek you do not encounter a single wild pokemon. Finally, you reach an obstacle. A huge pit appears to have been dug out of the ground, too wide to see a way around it, and too deep to cross by climbing down into it. How do you intend to get by?

- Thinking caps on team!

Round Sixty-One



Vigilance lets out a loud battle cry and takes to the air. His ability to fly gives him an immediate advantage that; when combined with his previous foresight; allows him to see almost all that occurs in the warehouse below. He sees the shadowy absence of light flicking atop a pile of boxes, and lets loose a bombardment of wind blades, forged from the very air keeping him aloft. They smash into the boxes, collapsing the tower of cardboard, and the shadow barely jumps away in time. Vigilence isn't about to let the enemy get away, and from deep within his core, he releases a powerful heat that deeply warms the air around him. With a single flap of the wings the wave of heat surges forward, washing over the entire warehouse, filling every alley and passage with intense, focused heat. A cry of pain echoes from somewhere in the building, but at the same time a high pitched alarm begins to sound, and several unnoticed shower heads open up near the rafters. Water begins to rain down upon the warehouse, trigged by the rising heat, creating an effect like falling rain. Dismayed by the strange weather effect inside a building, Vigilance never the less focuses on his foe. Five shimmering stars fly out of nowhere, spinning around corners and through gaps seeking a target in the maze of the warehouse. They all find their point of interest as they circle back towards Vigilance, giving the Pidgeot a moments notice as the Zoroark appears from nowhere and slam it;s fists into the fliers chest. A burst of red and black energy erupts from the impact pints clouding Vigilance's vision for a moment but as it dissipates, a worrying blackness blocks part of the Pidgeot's otherwise keen eye.

Round Nine

Turning your nose up at the hole in the road, you hop onto Cicero's back and he flies you and your team across the gorge to the other side without so much as a whimper. The gap crossed, you continue on following the path. The forest starts to get more cramped, and you are soon having to pull branches out of your way and clamber over huge roots. Whilst it's OK for Rosalinda and Sake, Cicero is having a bit of a rough time given his size, and you are forced to recall him for his own safety. The further into the forest you go, the darker it appears to get until you are eventually plunged into near darkness. Out of the corner of your vision, you can just about make out a faint purple light flickering in the distance.

- Head towards the light
- Go back and buy a torch (and maybe some hedge clippers)

Round Twenty-Five

Leaving the people and pokemon to pay their respects, you head up a dirt path beyond the regular part of the cemetery and into the parts more commonly explored by pokemon trainer such as yourself. With the sun still high in the air, the chances of any ghosts coming out to play is unlikely, but there are a few other pokemon out enjoying the light before sunset. A Murkrow hops along the ground, picking up small twigs and other assorted bits of dried greenery, perfect for building a nest.



Near a large tombstone you spot two Seedot chasing each other around the stone structure, occasionally stopping, then reversing the direction they're running in.



Lastly, despite the unlikely hood of seeing any traditional ghosts during the day, a lone Drifloon floats silently, buffetted around by the rare gust of wind that blows from a random direction.



- Approach Murkrow
- Approach the Seedot
- Approach Drifloon

Round Sixty-Two




With the falling water from the sprinkler system providing a cooler air, Vigilance gets worked up ready for something big. He flies up as hide as he can, and flaps his wings in fast, hard motions. A great wind is whipped up around him, and he dives into it, flying in fast concise circles, turning the wind into a whirling tempest. Zoroark appears from nowhere, an attempts to pierce the hurricane, but is swept up in the storm, tossed around a few times and finally thrown out across the warehouse, into a pile of boxes that collapse on top of him. Taking full advantage of his foes situation, Vigilance dive bombs the strange coloured pokemon, a dark aura surrounding his feathers as he moves. He vanishes almost for a second, before reappearing and delivering a series of short and sharp scratches with his talons. Zoroark growls, and pushes the bird away, but not before clamping one clawed hand around the Pidgeot's leg and sending a sliver of darkness through the pokemon. Vig shakes his head, his ability to use Faint Attack locked away from him. Hissing, Vig grabs on to Zoroark this time, and lifts him up into the air. The dark type sends out a burst of extrasensory energy that disorientates Vig for a moment, but he simply drops his foe, sending it crashing back to the ground.

Round Twenty-Six



You approach the Drifloon that appears to be bopping back and forth and up and down as if head-banging to some unheard heavy metal music. Its eyes are closed as it moshes silently, so you cough to get its attention. It's eyes pop open and it stops head banging.

"Oh. Hello." the Drifloon says "Lovely day isn't it? Are you here on your own?"

Drifloon closes its eyes and starts to head pop again.

Vigilance flies towards her foe, her wings taking on a hue of glittering metal, she swipes them hard across the body of the ghastly Zoroark. The feral beast retaliates with a guttural snarl, that judders through Vig's body, leaving her a little shaken. Brushing off the feeling of ill ease, she turns to find not one, but three Zoroark's facing her. All three starts to snicker and laugh like hyena's stalking their prey. Vig smirks, her opponent obviously hadn't counted on her previous use of foresight. Two of the copies appear semi-transparent. Vig moves quickly to keep the surprise up, pinning the real enemy to the metal wall with her talons. Zoroark lets out a surprised yelp, but before Vig can even begin to attack, Zoroark delivers a swift sucker punch to the Pidgeot's gut. Vig lets out a cry and backs off, only to unleash a barrage of hardened slashes of air, that cut across Zoroark without mercy.

Round Ten

You stumble towards the distant purple glow in hopes that it will lead you to safety. Or, maybe you do it because your an adrenaline nunky just looking for a good scare. Whatever the reason, the glow becomes closer and sharper, and you realise it's a small Litwick, also struggling to get through the forest.



"Please don't hurt me!" the Litwick squeals, squashing itself smaller and lowering it's light to a dim glow.

"I'm not going to hurt you." you reply, and the Litwick opens one eye to look at you. It opens the other eye, and narrows them both as it looks at you, behind you, then up and down. It's eyes go wider, and its flame light sback up.

"Oh. It's you. Very clever!"

"Huh?"

"Sorry. Um.. I'm trying to get out of the forest. Can you help me?"

- Help the Litwick

Well, that depends on where you're going. I'm heading to this abandoned house, which I assume is deeper in this forest. If you wanna stick with me so that you're safe, then you're welcome to.

"I'm heading to this abandoned house, which I assume is deeper in this forest." You say to the Litwik "If you wanna stick with me so that you're safe, then you're welcome to."

Litwik stares at you, hunches forward a little and whispers "Are you going to the old house?". The Litwik nods, then jumps back to its happy self, apparently ignorant of its strange behaviour.

"Yes, I'm heading that way myself!" it says cheerfully "But it's hard work for me to climb over all the branches. If I help light the way, can one of your pokemon give me a lift? The house isn't far, we should be able to get there in about five minutes or so."
