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

[Puma]

Oh, Erandal'e here is just one of my Pokémon. I've got a whole lot more, that are at least equally good trained. If you'd let me take a look at them, I could tell you what the best program for maxing out their efforts is.

You request to look at the Lillipup and Herdier.



"Certainly," Velma says. "Right this way."

She leads you back down the stairs to the hallway and then around the corner. As you walk in this direction, you begin to hear the sound of whimpering get gradually louder. You see two doors at the end of the hallway, one marked LILLIPUP KENNEL and the other marked HERDIER KENNEL. She opens the first door and leads you inside.

As you enter, you're almost overwhelmed by the room's foul odour. Looking around, you see several cages containing the seven Lillipup you saw racing earlier. However, the cages are minuscule and the Lillipup seem to have been crammed inside. It looks painful. As they glance at you, crouching in their own filth, they whimper miserably.



You also see Velma's assistants.



"Oh, hi Velma!" the nearest Aipom says. "Didn't think you'd be back so soon! We just returned these guys to their cages and were going to get started on the whipping."

"No need, Tom," Velma instructs. "This Pokemon trainer here has courteously offered his services. He says he knows how to really get these beasts into line, if you know what I mean."

The Lillipup start whimpering even louder and exchanging nervous glances.

"Please don't hurt us," the nearest one whispers bravely.

Trying to decipher the message, you make a guess.



The robotic arm tugs twice on your pant leg.

Before you can make another guess, you hear the tromping of heavy legs that announces Nina's return. She weaves her way through the mess of books and crates with a rather long list in her hands.



"It doesn't make sense," she says to you, skimming the list without looking up. "According to these shipment records, we only received one crate that matches the description of the one that's rattling. However, that crate is supposed to contain Registeel's arm, and I'm fairly certain that thing has never so much as twitched by itself, so—"

Nina looks up and stops dead. She glances from you to the open crate to the robotic arm, which slowly gives her a friendly wave. She's at a loss for words.

"I know how to treat them indeed... They look way too nervous though. Would you leave me alone with them a bit, so they calm down? I will study their behaviour and report back to you in a few minutes. Good thing I got one of my more patient Pokémon with me."
While I say this I summon Carlos right next to me.

Summoning Carlos, you ask to examine the Lillipup alone.



"Yes, absolutely," Velma says. "We'll be right outside!"

She and her assistants then leave the kennel, closing the door behind them. The Lillipup continue whimpering.



"Leave us alone," the nearest one snaps, "or I'll... I'll... attack!"

He starts charging up a Thunderbolt, but only manages to release a few errant sparks that miss you and your Pokemon. He then collapses, wheezing heavily. He looks too exhausted and injured to properly fight back.

I take a small look around to ensure noone's watching.
Also, I make sure to interrupt my upcoming speech to the Lillypup with a few loud "Uhu... I see... Okay..." so it is heard outside, signaling I make process.
"Poor little fellas. I'm not here to hurt any of you. Just calm down for a second and rest a bit. You see, originally I was coming here to catch a Lillypup or Herdier from around here, and train them in my team, so I came around this stadium. And I will take on of you out of here with me, but not before I free you of this... I'm not even going to speak out the name. However, I need you to keep your calm and don't blow my cover, okay? I have a plan indeed. I will come back to you later, it would be nice if you could at least pretend to be comepletely calm, alright?"
With that I leave the room, reporting back to Velma.
"Alright! I got a lot of information together, and it seems like they would respond to my reliable dual training method. But for that I need more Pokémon, so I have to take a look at the Herdier aswell, if that's okay with you. The method is a bit... brutal, but it will work for sure!"

You describe your plan to the Lillipup. At first they seem suspicious but they begin to look at you with a visible sense of trust. They stay calm and nod along to what you're saying.



Once you've conveyed your plan, you step outside and speak with Velma briefly. When you use the word "brutal" she peers at you with unabashed glee.



"Sounds delightful!" she cries. "Excellent! Truly excellent! Thank you so much! The Herdier are right through that door!"

You, Carlos and Erandal'e then enter the Herdier kennel, closing the door behind you. This room is identical to the previous one, smell and all, except instead of Lillipup you see several Herdier crammed into small cages. Instead of whimpering, they growl at you rather menacingly.

I repeat the procedure from before, going for more "Okay... Yeah... I see..." while inspecting them closer. Again, I take a look around and prepare to stop instantly when someone enters the room.
"No need to try scaring me away, you wouldn't be in the condition to fight me anyway, so please, listen up for a second. I am not here to hurt you. I am here to free you..." I tell the same story again, and go out to Velma once more.

"Splendid! Everything would work out... Do you have some kind of area where I could go outside with the Lillypup and Herdier? It would be better if it was inside of the stadium, so they don't attempt to run away. Not that they could." I say the last sentence in a monotone, almost scary way, and release Veggies, the powerhouse of my team. After Velma saw him, I recall him again.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Well this is awkward. Uh.. Nina, meet Registeel's arm. Registeel's arm, this is Nina. Now we have that out of the way, Nina how good are you at deciphering badly scrawled English?

You do the introductions and try to get Nina to decipher the message.



"It says... uh... Pâté Oiling? Frig, I have no idea," she says, still trying to get over her surprise. "This is lunacy. Everyone knows Registeel's arms were the only parts recovered after the Golem Wars and they don't move. They just don't. Maybe it's come alive because the other parts have been recovered as well? Or maybe it senses danger? I wonder if the other arm has also come alive."

At the words "senses danger" the robotic arm pulls once on your pant leg to signify "yes."

You quickly explain your plan to the Herdier. When you're done, one or two still look at you suspiciously, but, perhaps because they have nothing to lose, they don't object. As the Herdier remain quiet, you step back outside into the hallway and ask Velma if you can take all of the dogs someplace more open. You even give her a glimpse of your Venusaur to show her you mean business.



"Yes, yes, absolutely," Velma says. "We'll just get them chained up and then we'll be ready to go!"

Her assistants scurry into the kennels and, after a few minutes, emerge with the Lillipup and Herdier chained to one another. Velma then leads them single file to another staircase which takes you right up to the track. As you step into the sunlight, you see all the trainers and Pokemon have gone home and the stands are deserted. The Lillipup and Herdier watch you intently without making a sound, awaiting your instruction.




"I've never seen them so quiet and obedient like this," Velma remarks. "You really do know what you're doing! Now, show us your methods. Really whip these ugly mutts into shape. Go on."

"Calm down a bit, I'm going to do a lot of nasty and brutal things, but I'll have to make sure the chains are resistent enough, so they don't flee. Are both groups connected? I need to know that, because if they are we'll need to separate them for the dual training."
While closer inspecting the chain, I take a look if it's weak enough to get beaten by a strong combination of fire moves, or a strong Razor Leaf by Veggies.

As you look at the shackled Pokemon, you see that the Lillipup are chained together in one group and the Herdier are chained together in another. You examine the chains closely and see that they appear quite strong. A Razor Leaf probably won't cut them but a fire attack might, so long as you apply the flames long enough. However, you also notice the shackles around the dogs' necks each have a keyhole. Peering over at Velma and her assistants, you spy a little key in one of the Aipom's hands. Bingo.

"Alright! I examined the chains enough and I can tell they are crafted by someone who knows his stuff. Let's get on the training then, shall we? If you three want to watch closely on how I do my job, you might want to get a bit closer to me, as we are directing the Lillypup on the one side, and the Herdier on the other, so they face each other. I explain the training to your two little assistants as well, so you don't need me the next time, aye?"

"Alright.." I say, turning towards the three that should stand right next to me by now. "The training is pretty simple, but might result in major injuries. Nothing that keeps them from running though." I summon Veggies to the field once more. "My Pokémon will act as obstacles. The Lillypup and Herdier are going to run at each other in union, and finally jump over my Pokémon here. If anyone screws up, they will all get hurt, so the group pressure is pretty hard, resulting in a better learning experience and more focus. Right? You get everything so far? I'll instruct my Pokémon to stand on the right positions, and then we get going!" I leave them for a second to order commands for my Pokémon. "Alright you three, this is it." I will start talking loudly in between as well, giving random locations for them. "Carlos, I want you to unleash Confusion in a wide area, and try to distract Velma as well as her assistants there. Afterwards, continue to Disable Velma, so she can't react properly to our attacks. Erandal'e, you will execute the most important part. When Carlos' confusion takes place, I want you to vanish into the shadows with Faint Attack, and Thief the Keys from the Aipom away.. Afterwards, you give them to me and keep Velma and company away from us by Whirlwinding them away. Veggies, it's your time to shine as well. Toxic Velma instantly before she can react while she's distracted, and Venoshock her twice afterwards. If you didn't get the Toxic through, a few Razor Leafs against them will help too." I return back to Velma. "Alright! My Pokémon know what to do, now I will tell the Herdier and Lillypup what to do. This is going to be fun to watch if they screw up." I have another scary grin in my face, as I approach the Lillypup. "Alright, so this is what you are going to do. If you are too weak to do anything that's fine as well. But I hope you've rested enough to be off assistance. I want you all to use helping hand on my Pokémon, okay? We are going to get you out of here. Also, put a bit of a scared look on your face for now." I leave the Lillipup and approach the Herdier. "So, it's all up to you I guess. I will try and distract Velma and her Aipoms in a battle, so you will have enough time to Fire Fang these chains constantly. Security should have gone home by now, so I will manage to fight them for a good while. Also, help the Lillipup, as they are not able to free themselves, okay?"

I go back to Velma. "Isn't the scared look on the Pokémon Faces enjoyable?" I take a deep breath, and shout to my Pokémon "NOW!", then I roll to the side so I don't get hit. If I get the key, I start unlocking the Lillipup if they are not free already.


EDIT: I should probably add the strings, so it's easier.

Nina, I think the arm is telling is that it sense danger. As much as I know first hand how well this place is defended by you and the other Kangaskhans, if the fragmented remain of a legendary pokemon is concerned, then so should we. I'll help you out, keeping these artefacts and Regi's arm safe is a top priority of mine. I think we need to get outside and see what's happening.

Got a lot of data floating around in my head right now. Regiarm, stay with me. I'm not letting anything happen to you.

Despite her icy disposition earlier, Nina seems to understand something serious is going on and complies.



"Just don't let anyone see the arm on the way out," she whispers. "They'll ask questions and that will just lead to panic and confusion."

Nina then guides you out of the storage locker and back into the hallway. Shielding the robotic arm against your body, you follow the Kangaskhan down the corridor and soon step outside into fresh air. As you pass the guards, Nina gives them a curt nod and takes you to the side of the building so no one can see you. Glancing around, it seems to be a perfectly balmy evening. The sun is setting and the construction crew working on the Wi-Fi tower in the distance seems to be departing for the day. You see no indication of danger.

The robotic arm then tugs twice on your shirtsleeve.



Communicating with something that can't talk sure is getting old. Somebody needs to install Siri in this thing.

"Everything looks fine to me," Nina says. "So... where does that leave us now?"

After dispensing instructions to the canine Pokemon and your own team, you get beside Velma, who looks like she's about to watch some spectacular movie. When you give the command, all hell breaks loose. Slowpoke releases Confusion flashes all around you, dazing Velma and her assistants, before fixing Velma beneath a Disable. Erandal'e vanishes and then reappears behind one of the Aipom, Thieving the key and passing it off to you. You then step back as Erandal'e keeps the Aipom from retaliating with a Whirlwind. Finally, Veggies assaults Velma with a Toxic and adds some Venoshock for good measure. The simians squeal in pain and bewilderment.



Meanwhile, the Herdier are left to Fire Fang their chains. However, the Herdier don't seem to have much more strength and energy than the Lillipup. Those that manage to use Fire Fang don't seem to be able to break through the hard metal.




As Velma and her assistants are incapacitated, you decide to get to work. You walk up to the dogs with the key in your hand and prepare to unlock the chains, but something narrow and slimy comes out of nowhere and lifts the key out of our hand. You turn and see a familiar face.



"So, um, you didn't really think you'd get away with this, did you?" the Kecleon from the gate asks, rolling his eyes. You see the key dangling from his tongue. He then uses a Grass Knot, which trips you and binds your ankles. You struggle against the restraints but cannot move.

The Lillipup and Herdier, realizing the plan is going awry, start to panic. Still chained in two groups, they muster what little energy they have and begin running around the track aimlessly, their yelps and barks echoing around the stadium. Meanwhile, Velma and her assistants seem to be pulling themselves up. They don't look pleased. Uh-oh.

Actually... Yes. Yes I did. Erandal'e, snatch these key back with the same moves as before, but end it with Bravebird. Carlos, hit the Kecleon with a single scald, so it's type changes to water, then go for another two disables on Velma. Veggies, wait for Carlos Waterpulse, and hit the Kecleon with a strong Powerwhip, then go for a toxic-venoshock Combo to abuse the type change to the max.

If anyone protects, just go for the next-best target.
In the meantime, I'm trying to calm the Lillipup and Herdier down, and if the grass knot happens to weaken a bit, I'll go and unlock some of the Pokémon.

[RaZoR LeAf]

I should have brought a psychic type with me. OK Regiarm. I'm going to lift you up, and point you, then spin around on the spot. When your pointing towards danger click your fingers or wave.

I'm also going to call out Rorschach and have him to a perimeter check from the skies.

You summon Rorschach to examine the area from the sky. Meanwhile, holding the robotic arm in your hands, you spin around to get it to alert you to the source of the danger. After three full rotations, the hand does not snap its fingers or wave once. Nina seems just as puzzled as you.



"So, Regiarm... you sense danger. Are we talking about imminent danger or eventual danger? Nearby or far away?" Nina asks impatiently. "One snap for 'imminent and nearby' and two snaps for 'eventual and far away.'"



The robotic arm snaps its fingers twice.

"Okay, just so I'm clear, somewhere in the Safari Zone, to somebody that might not even be us, something dangerous will happen at some point?" Nina asks.

The robotic arm gives a thumbs-up.

"Brilliant, that really narrows it down," she mutters.

With that, Rorschach touches down next to you. The perimeter is clear.

You get your Pokemon to direct their attention toward Kecleon. Suddenly, they unleash an avalanche of attacks and, in all the confusion, Erandal'e manages to retrieve the key once more. Velma and her assistants advance upon you with looks of fury on their faces; however, with putting his Disable powahz to good use, Carlos manages to halt Velma. However, that does nothing to halt the assistants. They lunge at your Pokemon and attack with an onslaught of DoubleSlaps. Your Pokemon cry out in pain. Kecleon, significantly weakened by that assault, hits Veggies with a triple Flamethrower. He suffers a Burn in the process.

Meanwhile, you struggle against the Grass Knot and eventually manage to wiggle free. You try to get the Lillipup and Herdier to stop running around like mad, but all this hullabaloo has them in such a panic they don't notice. You chase after them with the key in hopes of unlocking the chains, but they're too quick for you.

I'm not going down so easily! I hope the Lillipup and Herdier start to notice my efforts and calm down. If they do, I'll go and release them with the key, if they don't, I have another idea.

Well, screw you Kecleon! You are not going to flamethrower us anymore, Carlos, start amnesia! He won't be using this flamethrower again for some time. Afterwards, send a heal pulse for Veggies so he survives another barrage of attacks, and then proceed to Disable Velma. I noticed Skill Link, and Skill Link's not a good sign.

Erandal'e, since we have the key for now, you can focus on attacking for once! Go for a Icy Wind, followed by Heatwave so we have additional damage to Kecleon, afterwards go for a Brave Bird right into the Kecleons face, which should knock it out.

Veggies, as you get healed by Carlos, you can still aid us in battle! Sleep Powder Velma first, then strike everyone with a barrage of Razor Leafs!

Also, if Velma doesn't fall asleep, I have another plan to stop her attacks. If she goes for anything working together with Skill Link, I will throw the Key right into her face to distract her. Sounds stupid and is probably going to work. Probably. Unlikely. But maybe.

Once again, go for the next best target if they protect or evade attacks.

Nina, you said that Registeel's arm has never shown any life before now. If this one has come to life, then perhaps the other arm has too, the one in private collection. If that's true, then the collector may want to acquire the other pieces too, and the only other piece that's known about is this one.

Now here's where I'm guessing, though I think I may be right. The book mentions the initials of the collector as being C.W.A. and earlier one of your fellow Kanga's mentioned the name 'Chadwick W. Audino' as the owner of the construction nearby. I can only guess that they are the same person. If Chadwick is indeed looking to acquire the other arm he is missing, then he knows all the artefacts from the Library are stored here.

And on a side note, I think I may have deciphered the writing. I believe it says 'Fake Golems'. I'm not yet sure what that means.

You issue commands to your Pokemon, but things don't seem to be going too well. Carlos uses Amnesia on Kecleon's Flamethrower and then emits a pulse of restorative energy at Veggies, who tries to Sleep Powder Velma. However, she merely uses Magic Coat to fire the powder back at Veggies, who slumps over and begins sleeping. Velma's assistants then Mimic the Sleep Powder. Blue spores settle over Erandal'e and Carlos and they fall asleep. Guess you should have picked Insomnia for your Murkrow.

However, all hope is not lost. You then focus your attention on the dogs, who are still running around like crazy. Suddenly, you lock eyes with one of the Lillipup. He looks into your eyes and is pacified. He begins addressing his fellow canines.




"Guys!" he exclaims. "We're never gonna get out of here this way! That guy has the key and his Pokemon are getting pulverized! We need to help him so he can help us!"

The Lillipup and Herdier listen to their friend. After a moment, they piece together what's happening and saunter up to you obediently. Using the key Erandal'e nicked from Velma's assistant, you manage to unlock the shackles. With that, the dogs are no longer chained.

"No!" Velma shrieks, stomping the ground. "I will not let you do this! Human, you're finished!""

With a swift movement of her tail, she sends a Seed Bomb flying your way. However, the little Lillipup who managed to rally his comrades jumps in front of you and throws up a Protect. He looks fatigued but his shield manages to nullify Velma's attack. The other dogs begin to growl. Now that their heads are in the right place, they look like they're ready to get a little big of revenge on their former trainer.

"Everyone knows Chadwick W. Audino likes to collect rare artefacts in his spare time, so he might have the other arm," she says.

Time to get devious. The Lillipup and Herdier stare down Velma and her retinue before opening their jowls and cutting loose with a deafening series of Rounds. The sonic blast sounds more like an explosion than a song and knocks all four of your opponents off their feet. They slam into the inner wall of the racetrack and don't get back up. They're defeated at last. The Lillipup and Herdier start celebrating.




"We did it!" they cheer in unison. "We beat them!"

The loud noise seems to have awoken your Pokemon. They look around happily. The Lillipup who saved you bounds into your arms and begins licking your face. You ask his name.

"I'm Max!" he exclaims. "Oh, thank you so much for saving us! They told us if we ever turned on them terrible, terrible things would happen to us. Guess they were just full of it, huh?"

The noise of your battle seems to have attracted a few others Pokemon as well.



"Er... hello there," the central Lickitung says, stepping onto the track. "We're with the Old Village Police Department and we were doing a patrol of the area when we heard quite a loud noise. Geez, what happened here?"

"Of course Officer. I tell you exactly what happened. I, as a big fan of racing in general and a Pokémon Trainer as well, visited this stadium to check not only the races, but also the condition of the racer. However, I found out that they were in a terrible condition, stuffed into small cages, and whipped as well as tortured in general.
As I found out about this situation, and the owner of this track, Velma the Ambipom you see over there, told me that I could never leave with knowing this secret, and he as well as his assistance and this Kecleon attacked me. I protected myself with my Pokémon, and freed the Herdier and Lillipup that were enslaved for so long. Of course they did most of the job in the end, and saved my life. I can't really see them being tortured in this racetrack anymore, so I thought about freeing them.
Are there any complaints, officer? If so, mainly because a vital source of income died out, I do have an idea indeed, on what to do with this race track if you are interested. However, I can't suffer any more things that hurt these poor creatures. So please, let them go."
I then turn towards Max. "Man, you saved my life, and I have to thank you. You sure are one of the bravest Pokémon, if not THE bravest Pokémon I've ever seen. It would be an honor if you accompany me on my journey. If so, you might want to get into this Pokéball here." I slowly pull out my Pokéball, and move my arm towards the Lillipup.

You give the Lickitung police officers a lengthy rundown of the situation.



"So she's back at it again," the central Lickitung says. "Yep, we charged Velma once for mistreating the racers. No more chances for her. We're putting her and her accomplices behind bars. Thanks, Pokemon trainer, for helping these Lillipup and Herdier! You're a real hero!"

You then ask Max if he'd like to join your team. You hold out your Pokeball and he gazes at it with interest.

"Gosh, really?" he asks. "You'd let me join your team? Thanks, mister! I promise I won't let you down!"

With that, he nudges your Pokeball. He glows bright red as he's sucked inside. With a click, the Pokeball locks and teleports away.

"I'm sure you won't let me down." I thank the officers and adress to my Murkrow, while I summon it to the field. "Well Erandal'e. I don't exactly know WHERE we are, but I think you might find out. Fly up in the Sky and direct us to a Graveyard if you see one. Our next member is Psychic Type, and I'm not exactly sure if he's rare, so we just go and take a look. If not, we can still venture somewhere else. So, I repeat, fly up and look for grave's yard!" If she can fly me there, that'd be cool, otherwise I release Veggies and hitch a ride.

With Velma taken care of and the canine Pokemon freed, you decide to take off. You return Carlos and Veggies and grab onto Erandal'e, who Flies you up into the air. With the aid of your Pokedex, you manage to determine that Grave's Yard is far to the north of the Old Village. You begin Flying in that direction when suddenly a familiar figure crashes into you.



"Sorry, I really should watch where I'm—hey, I remember you!" he says amicably. "How have you been? Oh... listen, I know we don't know each other very well, but would you be able to help me out? I'm on my way to Grave's Yard, see, but that place gives me the creeps. Would you be able to offer me some protection while I do my business there? In return, I'm sure I'd be able to assist you in some way. Is that cool? It's your call, of course."

"Oh, it's you! No worries, I will help you get through there, even though I wanted to go somewhere else... But helping a friend in need is nothing I''d ever delay!"

You kindly agree to help Togetic.

"Thanks!" he says. "The name is Aeolus, by the way. Well, let's have at it!"

You begin Flying north and watch as the landscape below grows gradually bleaker and more grim. The sky darkens as you touch down in the sea of tombstones known as Grave's Yard. A cold wind rises and sweeps through the cemetery. You're not sure you like this place very much.

"Okay," Aeolus says, holding up a little wreath. "It's the ten year anniversary of the death of my great aunt Hera. No, don't bother with your condolences. I never really knew her. My family wanted me to lay this wreath by her tombstone, so I just picked it up from the florist and now... well, now I need to find out which tombstone belongs to Hera. Only thing is, there are about a million graves here. Uh. Hrm. I suspect this will take a while."

As you glance around in hopes of finding Hera's tombstone, you see a Poochyena casually strolling along about thirty feet to your right. As well, you spy a solitary Gastly bobbing about in the sky overhead. Neither seems to pose a threat to you.



"So," Aeolus says as he inspects gravestone after gravestone, "you said you weren't on your way to Grave's Yard. Where were you headed, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well, originally I intended to go to the Abandoned Playhouse, as I was told by one of the Herdier I saved from the race track earlier, that there would be some Psychic Types. Aren't there Psychic Types here too? It might have been pretty fortunate that I joined your quest. Let's continue our search, right? Erandal'e, help us looking for the right tombstone." Also, I release Carlos to sit on my head, just because it would look frickin' cool.

You respond to Aeolus and summon Carlos while continuing to search the graves. After half an hour, you still haven't been able to find the correct one, and there are still so many more left to check. Meanwhile, the sky begins to darken. You're not sure you want to still be here when night falls.

"Okay, uh, let's think about this," Aeolus says wearily. "Well, there's a big mausoleum over there. Maybe someone inside will have information about the whereabouts of Hera's grave? Or maybe we should search from the skies? Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure she has a recognizable Togekiss headstone we might be able to spot from up above. It's up to you."

Meanwhile, you see a Sneasel and a Nuzleaf watching you from afar.

I keep an eye on the two of them, but ignore them for now. I will show them that I noticed them staring at me, but nothing more. "Flying up seems like a good idea. Let's try that, if we don't find anything we might head over to the Mausoleum, alright? Also, did you see those two Pokémon staring at us? We better keep an eye on them. Maybe they are up to no good. If not though, we could ask them as well!"

You decide to do some aerial surveillance. Grabbing onto Erandale's talons, you take off into the sky and peer down at the tombstones below. After a couple of minutes, you eventually spy a large Togekiss-shaped headstone off in the distance. Aha!

Still holding onto Erandale, you glance over your shoulder to inform Aeolus. Only thing is, as you turn around, you don't see him. You look around several times in hopes of locating him, but he's nowhere to be found. Gazing back down at the ground, you can no longer see Sneasel and Nuzleaf. Uh-oh. You do see Aeolus's wreath, but it appears to have been torn to shreds. Double uh-oh.

Carlos, good thing I had you on my head. (Yeah, that was all planned actually. [ize="1"]except not really, but it looked cool![/size]) Did you watch the two as I've [size="1"]*cough*[site="1"] whispered [size="1"]*cough*[site="1"] to you before? If not it's not a big deal, but if, do you know where they are?

I knew they were up to no good from the beginning, shouldn't have ignored them. It's time to save our friend now I guess. I have an idea actually. First of all, let's get down to the ground again, where the wreath lies. As they are most likely not able to fly, there should be at least SOME kind of evidence around here. I still don't get why they shredded it, as that makes things completely obvious. Except that was planned. Then it was pretty genius, but I will follow the hopefully found evidence (or Carlos) anyway!
