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

[Cynder]

You've been playing dirty the entire time Barry, even after we saved your life from a dysfunctional group of Pokemon and agreed to be complacent and play your game even when you were obviously cheating... And I won't have it any more. I'm leaving, and taking that black stone with me, whether you like it or not. We won that last game, using tactics just as low as you did. All's fair in love and war!

Dysfunctionland!

‡ Round 93 ‡

Big Ol' Barry balks at your threat.



"Steal mah Dark Stone?" he says fiercely. "I'd like to see y'all try!"

His cheek pouches crackle with electricity which he discharges in the form of a Thunderbolt. Wynaut, however, leaps in front of the attack and pulls up a Mirror Coat. The attack rebounds off the shield and strikes Big Ol' Barry with added power, dazing him momentarily.



"Run!" Wynaut squeals at you delightedly as he grabs the Dark Stone from the rack of prizes. "Let's get out of here!"

How do you proceed?

> Flee
> Finish off Big Ol' Barry

You close your eyes and when you reopen them, you see that Hanzo has Teleported you to the Old Village. You stand in the middle of the town square near a fountain. A few Pokemon have gathered near the fountain's edge and are peering at their reflections.

‡ Round 94 ‡

Big Ol' Barry is just starting to pull himself up as Sabaku blasts him with an array of mind-disorting soundwaves.



Turning, you and your contingent flee as quickly as you can. Wynaut leads you into an empty cotton candy stand where you hide beneath the counter. After a minute, you think you hear Big Ol' Barry scurrying by in a state of Confusion, but the sound soon moves on.



"Phew!" Wynaut says through a fit of giggles. He appears to be enjoying himself immensely. "Honestly, Big Ol' Barry isn't a bad guy... well, he sort of is, but he has his good moments too. He'll eventually forgive me for helping you guys out. So, this is what you want?"

Wynaut holds out the Dark Orb for you. You take in in your hands and are immediately bombarded with a series of mental images.

A small island emitting a strange energy...

A dark, scary castle...

A princess whose face is hidden by long, blonde hair...

The flashes then subside.

Why do I get the feeling Barry and Deb are partners in crime?

Anyway, Hanzo, Teleport us to the Old Village!

[Cynder]

Run! Before we leave, Sabaku, get him confused with a Supersonic to hamper his progress.

[Cynder]

A small island and a scary castle? I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and try going to try the Tranquil Shores, since and island is likely to be near the sea. However, before I leave, I'll ask Wynaut if he's ever heard of such a place.

‡ Round 95 ‡

You prepare to leave, but first ask Wynaut if he has any ideas.



"Hrm," he says in thought. "A peculiar energy, you say? Y'know, that sounds a lot like Triangle Island! Yeah, it's right off the coast of Tranquil Shores. I actually have a cousin who lives there... maybe you'll run into him! He's an odd fellow. Has a red hat he always wears. Yeah."

And with that, you bid farewell to Wynaut and Dysfunctionland before shooting off into the skies. Fortunately, your team manages to get a little R&R as they recover from the horrors of the haunted manor. Your flight isn't particularly long at all: you merely head east until you find the shoreline and touch down upon the golden sands. The area here smells salty and all is quiet but for a single scuttling Corphish.



How do you proceed?

Yeah, my assumption was right! Now let's ask the Corphish if it knows where about Triangle island is.

‡ Round 96 ‡

You ask Corphish for directions.



"Triangle Island?" Corphish says. "Yeah, I've heard of it. Not sure why you want to go, though... it's supposed to be a weird, weird pace. Sometimes there are fierce storms just off the coast that repel visitors, so be mindful of that little fact. Just set a course east from here and it's about twenty minutes from shore. You can Fly or Surf or, if you'd rather, there's a sailboat you can take."

She points an orange pincer in the direction of a nearby pier where a small sailboat is bobbing in the water.

I'll take the safe route and get a little boat. However, to be safe, I'll recall Brenton and Rhode since Brenton won't enjoy sailing and Rhode might weight the boat down.

You decide to take the boat. You recall your two less aquatically-inclined Pokemon and clamber into the boat alongside Sabaku and your Ariados accomplices (who both squabble incessantly for more space). You begin paddling out into the water and, soon, you've left the shoreline behind you.

You see a few Pokemon drifting about in the water beside your boat.



Up ahead, you see a storm brewing. Uh-oh.

‡ Round 99 ‡

Seadra doesn't seem to think the storm is going to end any time soon. As a result, Sabaku carries you, Ernesta and Elmira off into the sky as and pray that your Flyer's immunity to electricity will somehow carry over to you as well. You mount higher and higher into the air and soon pass over the dark, roiling clouds. Hooray! Just as you think this plan is going to work, Sabaku sails into a powerful air current that sucks the both of you downward into a spiralling cyclone. Craaap.

You grip onto Sabaku as hard as you can as the pair of you spin round and round in the vortex. You've now been pulled into the storm and you can feel the wind and rain whip against you. Squinting, you just barely make out what you think is Triangle Island in the distance, but with your constant spiralling it's hard to tell.

Suddenly, you feel Ernesta lose her grip and slip off off Sabaku's back.Then, a moment later, you feel Elmira do the same.

Their flailing bodies are pulled away into the stormy abyss. You're not sure how much longer you can hold on either.

How do you proceed?

They fell off? They're spiders - how did they just fall off?!

Y'know what, it looks like we'll have to go down to the water and try and find them. But Sabaku, if the currents get too rough for you you can go back through the clouds at any time - we don't want you to get hurt too.

‡ Round 100 ‡

Sabaku enters a nose-dive and fights through the powerful air currents until you're only a few feet above the tossing surf. You scan the choppy waters for any sign of your Ariados friends, but you see neither pink nor red amidst the stormy blues.

Suddenly, a wailing gust rises out of nowhere. Sabaku manages to avoid being blown away, but you're not so fortunate. Your wet fingers lose their hold on your Flygon's neck and you're abruptly thrown into the water. As you go under, you begin flailing around and fight to make your way back to the surface, but an undertow catches you off-guard and drags you into the dark, watery depths. Panic mounts as you thrash around beneath the surface, lungs burning. You feel your head grow fuzzy as your strength rapidly leaves you.

Then, all goes black.

The next thing you're aware of is a bright, shining light overhead. Your body aches as though it were hit by a stampeding Tauros and you feel weak. You're not sure you want to open your eyes just yet. It's so quiet and peaceful lying like this.

Triangle Island
This island, far off from the coast, seems to have a peculiar energy to it. Strange things occur when it is visited-but reports of its existence are few and far between. What is known is that it has many craters and is a strange hilly terrain, with few patches of grass.

‡ Round 101 ‡

You turn over and open your eyes before pulling yourself up. You find yourself on a bright, sunlit beach. The air here smells... different. Not bad, certainly. Just different. You're not sure it's something you can put into words. It's almost like you've woken up in an entirely different world.

You scan the beach but see nothing in particular. Your Pokemon and items are all missing.

That's when you hear it, but only barely: you can vaguely make out snippets of a weird and catchy tune on the breeze...

You head inland, all the while keeping your eyes peeled for some sign of your Pokemon. You don't see them... but then, suddenly, a large green pipe rises out of the ground. What the what? You jump back and watch as a jaunty little figure leaps out of the pipe.



He looks so strange, yet so familiar.

You approach Wynaut and ask for information.



"It's a-me, Wynario!" he shouts immediately as though by habit. He then lets out a sheepish cough and drops the phoney-baloney Italian shtick. "Some Pokemon, you say? And a Dark Stone? Sorry, but I haven't seen anything like that. I'm on my way to the Shroomish Kingdom castle. My girlfriend baked me a cake, see. You should tag along... perhaps someone in the castle knows where your friends went?"

You follow Wynario to the castle. As you walk, he tells you all about how he wishes he had more time in his daily routine for plumbing work.



You eventually arrive at a large, magnificent castle that isn't at all like the castle where the Dark Orb is supposed to be kept. Standing outside the castle is a strange little figure with a puffy white hat that vaguely resembles the Japanese flag.

"Hey, bro, I have a customer for you!" Nidoran♀ says. "I think this guy needs a fossil converted into a Pokemon."

"Hrm," Nidoran♂ replies. "A fossil, you say? Dr. Miltank went out to run an errand. I'm not really supposed to use the Reanimatic 2000 until he gets back."

"Pffsh, c'mon," Nidoran♀ says. "Dr. Miltank is a curmudgeonly old Zubat. If he can operate that thing, I'm sure you can."

"I dunno," Nidoran♂ says hesitantly.

"Jeepers, bro! You're whipped," Nidoran♀ scoffs. "Just do it. Please?"

"Uh... well, I guess I can give it a shot," Nidoran♂ replies.

"What's wrong, Toadgepi?" Wynario asks as he approaches.



"Oh, Wynario, thank goodness you're here!" Toadgepi exclaims. "It's the Princess! Princess Pomegranate! Someone knocked on the castle's front door, she answered it... and then... and then... she was kidnapped!"

Toadgepi then makes an ugly high-pitched shrieking noise and rapidly spins around in circles on the spot.

"Mama Mia!" Wynario cries as he claps his ear/hand things over his mouth in shock.
