[SZ Ref Thread] Oslo's Ostensibly Outrageous Outings! v. 3.0 (RL)

[Puma]

"It's nice to see you guys again. It's been quite a pain, but I got what I wanted. If you want to have a little chat, I'm totally up to that now! I know it's been a while since you had visitors, and it would be more than impolite to leave right now"

Afterwards, I'll head back outside and take a look around. Also, I'll have Erandal'e to scout my surroundings, and report back every four-legged Pokémon she sees.

"A little chat?" Ariados says. "Why, yes, we'd love to have a little chat! Indeed, it would be quite, quite impolite for you to leave. We haven't had visitors in so long! Ages, really! We've been so lonely, so it really is lovely to have you. You will of course be staying here from now on. But certainly you knew that, yes? It's just, well, our last visitors didn't. They wanted to leave. They begged and begged. Such poor manners! It was unfortunate, really, but we put them right in the end. Now they can't ever leave."

He steps aside and gestures to the corner. You see a pile of old, decaying bones.

"And neither can you," Nick adds, whispering into your ear with a smile.

(I saw that coming when you didn't let me out last round... Eurgh. Okay!)

"It would be indeed! I saw that guy had no manners, AT ALL. Did he seriously try to leave instantly? That's pretty harsh."
While saying this, I grab the Pokéball for Veggies. Time for surprising maneuvers! As soon as I've finished my little speech I throw the Pokéball with Veggies right at Nicks face who seems to stand right behind me, and not only that, I'm going to abuse the fact that they were down here so long. "VEGGIES, UNLEASH THE STRONGEST FLASH YOU EVER UNLEASHED!" In the meantime, I'll have Erandal'e guarding us with Protect as they will probably shoot some webs at me like Nick intended to do before.

Deciding that you don't want to be the Ariados's dinner guest from now until the end of time, you summon Veggies by whipping his Pokeball right at Nick's face. Your Venusaur appears in the basement and immediately shoots off a Flash of light. It's pretty bright, but it's not quite as effective as it might have been considering the Ariados already seem to have adjusted to the bright light Nick is still giving off. Before the spiders can retaliate, Erandal'e uses Protect to shield you and your party from harm.

"Oh my," Nick says, crestfallen. "I had no idea it would turn out this way. Such a disappointment! Nonetheless, we'll set you right in the end. We always do."

He then gnashes his mandibles together in a menacing way, waiting for Erandal'e's Protect to fall. You're not sure how much longer it will hold.

Don't think I'm out of options yet! As the other Ariados didn't come closer, which is pretty fortunate at the time, we are not done already! Venusaur, go for Frenzy Plant and cut them off on the other side, but make sure not to block our escape path!
Erandal'e, stop your protect all of a sudden and go for a faint attack in a defensive way, disappearing out of their sight first, and then push Nick over from behind. If he's distracted by the sudden move, I'll recall the both of you and make a run for it, but in case something doesn't work, I'll close my hands around Carlos' Pokéball, ready to summon him back to the field if something doesn't work out as planned.

Veggies lets out a roar and shines with a brilliant green light. Massive, gnarled roots surge up through the concrete floor and form and temporary wall that keeps the eight Ariados at bay. Meanwhile, Erandal'e uses a Faint Attack to sneak up behind Nick and flip him over. As Nick writhes around on his back, unable to move, you recall your Pokemon sprint for the exit. You hasten up the steps and return to the main level... where some familiar faces have been waiting for you. They look hungry.



Lovely.

Didn't I say i wanted to recall them in case everything works out? Ah, whatever. Leave no man, uh, Pokémon behind!
Actually, I have another idea. Let's lure the Spinarak down to the Ariados, they didn't seem to like each other a whole lot before. If they team up, I'm pretty much screwed, ey? Anyway, when I reach the hopefully still blocking wall, I recall Veggies instantly, and have Erandal'e use a mix of Protect and Fly, with me attached to her, (if my pidgey is able to take this, she has to be as well!) so we fly over the incoming Spinaraks and protect from the incoming attacks by Nick.

[Oslo]

Wups, you are correct. My reading comprehension lately has been pretty embarrassing. I fixed the round and you're welcome to re-issue commands!

[Puma]

Alright!

Ew, seriously? Spinarak again? Well, I don't think that I want to end as spiderfood today. So, let's try something stupid. I throw the Pokéball of Erandal'e into the air, and command her to use a Fly + Protect Combo, so I shield myself from incoming attacks, and fly over the Spinarak in the process. After that, I'll make a run for the door.

Time to dash! As the horde scuttles closer, you summon Erandal'e. You grab onto his talons and he takes off, soaring out of the room with a Protect raised around you both. A couple of Spider Webs bounce uselessly off the shield as Erandal'e plots a course back to the drawing room. You arrive with the door still ajar and zoom outside into the sunshine. As the Protect drops, you suck back fresh air for the first time in what feels like forever. Freedom.

With your hands still around Erandale's talons, he flaps his wings and rises higher into the sky. The more distance between you and those spiders the better. Soon, you ascend far above the dilapidated rooftops and can look out over the entire village. It's quite a view. Glancing eastward, you see something small bobbing its way through the clear sky. Looks like your bad fortune is starting to reverse.



It's not every day you see a shiny Togetic.

I should have thought that through.
"Uhm, could we possibly do that on the ground? I know, flying is cool, and fast paced, but I'm going to get sick if we continue at that speed."
If we are on the ground, I'd continue the conversation.
"Well, you know, this old village seems a bit... scary to say the least, and I wanted to ask you, if you know of any other normal types that venture through this part of the zone, maybe?"

Togetic shrugs and acquiesces to your request. You fly lower and touch down in the middle of a nondescript side street. You see a couple of Pokemon trainers stroll by with their Pokemon.



"Normal-types?" Togetic asks, scratching his chin. "Uh, yeah, I suppose so. What did you have in mind?"

"Hrm... hard to say... I haven't lived here very long," Togetic murmurs. "Oh, of course, I've got it! There's a track to the northern end of the village, right along the outskirts, where Lillipup and Herdier are raced. You can place bets on them and everything. Does that help?

"It does, thanks! One more thing, I'm currently trying to expand my Team of fellow Pokémon, and I wanted to ask if you'd be interested! I know, it's a bit rushed, but I saw your flying skills, and you are really talented!"
If he/she doesn't want to join, I let her go. I might miss the chance to have a shiny Togetic, but as I said before, I'm not going to catch any Pokémon by pure force.
I make sure to look disappointed if that happens, and wish him/her good luck on his/her journey, wherever that might be.

Northward you go! You make your way through the winding streets for several minutes until the nearby houses become gradually sparser. Soon, as you reach the outskirts, you find yourself approaching a smallish stadium with the words Old Village Racetrack stamped out front near the gate. You draw close and see a bored-looking Kecleon in a little booth. He peers at you without expression.



"Welcome to the Old Village Racetrack, home of the most mega crazy, super exciting, rock 'em sock 'em edge-of-your-seat family fun gambling experience this side of Shinsuke Island Casino," he says in a misanthropic monotone. "Admission is 300 Pokedollars per Pokemon and 100 Pokedollars per human."

I did think about some confuse shenanigans, but why do I need to get into there with attacking someone who did nothing wrong?
"Thanks then. I guess I'll have to come back later!" I make a big show of leaving disappointed, and go behind the stadium, where I recall Carlos and let Erandal'e fly me in from above, hopefully not getting noticed by anyone. If Erandal'e manages to get Carlos up there as well, I let him use confusion, so noone notices us coming in, due to distraction.

[RaZoR LeAf]

OK arm, we're going to have to work something out. Hmm, I wonder if you can write?

I'll pick the arm up and hang it over my shoulder so it can hold on. Then I'll have a look around see if I can find some kind of writing implements and some plain paper to write on.

If Nina appears, then I'll have to hear what she says first before trying another stupid story on her. Priority, defend the arm at any cost.

Rather than assaulting a poor, innocent Kecleon, you scurry away and carefully meander toward the far side of the stadium. Recalling Carlos, you grab onto Erandal'e who Flies you high into the air. You pass over the mouth of the stadium and peer down below. A couple dozen Pokemon and trainers are sitting in the stands, but they don't seem to be looking at the sky and therefore don't notice you touching down in a vacant stretch of seats. Their eyes are on the track, where several Lillipup appear to be racing.

Keeping an eye out for the Kecleon, you leave the stands behind and head toward the lobby. Once there, you look around and find a set of stairs heading down. The words EMPLOYEES ONLY are stamped on the adjacent wall. Well, what's life without a little risk, eh? You take the stairs down toward the floor below, where you come out in a narrow hallway lined with doors. It's rather grim and grubby down here. A single bare bulb illuminates the area.

Suddenly, you hear footsteps just ahead coming from around a corner.

At that moment, three unfamiliar figures round the corner. They stop dead when they see you there fluttering there in the middle of the hallway. They look utterly shocked.



Improvising quickly, you act like some kind of custodian. The simians exchange dumbfounded looks.

"Sir, I don't know what you're playing at, but I am Velma P. Ambipom, owner of this racetrack," the Ambipom says crossly. "As I have never once hired any humans to work here, I'm acutely aware you're not who you're pretending to be. Now, explain yourself before I alert the authorities."

Once again, I'm sorry! I thought, since I'm a big fan of your stadium, it'd be a great opportunity to give this a shot! I shall leave instantly if you so desire.

"An actor? Well, that certainly is, uh, fascinating. As we're just finishing up the last race of the day, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I will escort you to the exit," Velma says. She then glances toward the two Aipom and whispers to them. You can just barely make out what she's saying. "The Lillipup were especially sluggish today. Nobody wants to watch sluggish racers, so make sure you give them an extra hard whipping tonight and tell them you won't be cleaning out their cages unless they double their efforts tomorrow. Oh, and make sure you give the Herdier half rations tonight. Some of them simply have too much meat on their bones. Understood?"
