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

[Cynder]

Since that Cacturne isn't doing anything constructive, maybe we can help out. See if we can help out the Onix and Gliscor clearing that tunnel.

Crush Quarry
A dangerous quarry home to Rock and Ground types. Footing is loose, and there's always work being done. A few Fighting types and some rare Steel types also make their homes here. Within the mining tunnles you may find a few rare passages...

‡ Round 254 ‡

You decide to give Onix and Gliscor a hand by clearing the rocks. They're rather heavy and require a lot of work to move, but with the six of you working in tandem, you eventually manage to complete the job.

"Phew, thanks!" Gliscor says. "That would have taken forever without your help! Listen, I found this among the rubble... I don't really have any use for it, but perhaps you'd like it? Take it as a token of thanks."

She then hands you a small object. It appears to be a Black Shard.

How do you proceed?

Happily accepting the Black Shard from Gliscor, you continue down the cleared passageway. After a couple of steps, you soon see a glint of silver embedded in the ground. You vaguely remember seeing this same glint of silver when you were last here before the tunnel became inaccessible due to the fallen rocks.

‡ Round 256 ‡

You approach the bit of embedded silver and begin digging. It appears sharp and pointed and extends deep into the rocky soil. It seems to be... a drill bit? Or perhaps a horn of sorts? After no more than a few seconds of digging, the silver begins quivering and, suddenly, the earth bursts around you as a shiny Rhyperior emerges! With a roar, the Pokemon immediately targets Yurei with a powerful Rock Wrecker. She's thrown backwards and collides with the tunnel wall.

You imagine the Rhyperior had Dug beneath the ground to get a little shut-eye. He appears to be on the grumpy side now that you've awoken him.

How do you proceed?

Oohh, aren't we purdy... Yami, Low Sweep x2 followed by a Focus Blast. Yurei put it to sleep with Hypnosis and use 2 Extrasensories, and Aikoku use Air Slash x3. Hit it until it is almost finished (roughly 10 hp), then I'll throw my last ball.

‡ Round 257 ‡

Since Rhyperior is forced to recharge after that powerful Rock Wrecker, there's nothing he can do to protect himself against Yurei's Hypnosis. As he succumbs to sleep, your Pokemon rip into him with a series of powerful attacks. After everything they've gone through, one little Rhyperior is a walk in the park.

Once you have him right where you want him, you toss your final Ultra Ball. Shining red, Rhyperior is pulled within its cavity. The ball falls to the ground loudly.

It wiggles once.

It wiggles twice.

It wiggles, oh yes, a third time... and then...

Click.

All of a sudden, you find yourself teleported back to the Safari Zone front desk where your quest began. The clerk hands you the balls containing Skarmory, Giratina, Gallade and Rhyperior before sending you on your way.

With that, it's over.

Adventcha Complete!

And thank you for giving me a fun adventure to referee from May to August. Congrats on your captures! I apologize for making the whole ordeal so friggin' long, but hey, ridiculously long quests are just my thing.

DARKESTLIGHT'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!

Sunshine Fields
A large rolling plain that overlooks TPML, the grass is soft and the air tasty. A plethora of grass Pokemon are found here as they enjoy the tickling breeze and the bright sunshine. Bird and normal-types are also found here. Far to the north, a small rocky outcropping exists.

‡ Round 1 ‡

With a sudden flash, the front desk vanishes as you're Teleported into the Zone. You step out into a sunlit plain. A sudden gust of wind carries a sweet smell on its back.

At first, the place appears deserted. Just as you begin to wonder where the party is, a Ledyba zips by your face. A few feet off, what you first thought was a tuft of grass appears to be a quivering Oddish. She seems frightened by your sudden and startling appearance.

How do you proceed?

‡ Round 2 ‡

You take Litwick in your arms and, making sure not to scorch your fingertips, you and your Pogeys press on. Though the sun still shines, it's less warm here than at other points during the year. Many of the locals seem to have migrated to warmer climes, or perhaps are hibernating somewhere.

Hiking north, you and your Pokemon eventually come across a cluster of four trees. A few Shroomishes are dozing at the base of one of the trees. Squinting your eyes, you see something flat and brown nestled in some of the branches. You can't tell what it is just yet.

How do you proceed?

‡ Round 3 ‡

Your trek is rather uneventful as you continue northward across the plain. In the distance, you can just barely make out three shapes. You squint for a moment as you attempt to discern what they are.

Oh, yes. Those are Deerlings.

Even from this distance, they spot you and begin to bolt. Timid little creatures, eh?

‡ Round 4 ‡

You and your Pokemon excitedly pursue the Deerlings. The timid little beasts are swift, however, and you quickly lose sight of them after no more than a minute. Well, wasn't that just the lamest little chase scene? You roam the plain aimlessly in search of the beasts who appear to have left no tracks in the hard, semi-frozen earth.

Just as you begin to lose hope, Marauder squawks and directs your attention eastward. You see the Deerlings in the distance along with three other Pokemon. It appears the family of Sap Sippers has run afoul of another group of wild Pokemon. The six are engaged in a heated triple battle.

‡ Round 5 ‡

You inch closer as the Linoone and her kin go on the offensive. In unison, the fire off a barrage of Pin Missiles that spook the Deerling. Frightened, the Sap Sippers tear off in different directions. One heads north toward the rocky outcropping, another heads south from whence you came and the other heads west into the unknown.

You head west after the spooked Deerling, but it seems to have vanished. Ugh. You wander the plain uneventfully without encountering a single Pokemon until, yet again, Marauder alerts you to a gathering of Pokemon near a small glade.

It's the Deerling... and he appears to have led you right to his colony.

‡ Round 7 ‡

With Zen occupying the rear, you inch closer to the glade. Inadvertently, you step on a twig and it breaks. As though a gun has gone off, the Deerlings all snap their heads in your direction and peer at you with wide eyes. You wait for them to scarper.

However, they don't. With numbers on their side, they don't seem interested in bolting. Instead, they begin to paw the ground defensively. You don't need to be especially familiar with Deerlings to recognize that it's a very "get-the-hell-away-from-us" kind of gesture.

‡ Round 9 ‡

You head west. The grass around you begins to grow taller until it is nearly up to your waist. You wade carefully through the vegetation as a line of trees begins to make itself apparent way off in the distance. Peering around, you see a patch of conspicuous yellow flowers and some odd purple buds clustered nearby.

You also hear a long, drawn out screeching noise. It kind of sounds like...

Yaaaaanmaaaaaaaaaa...

Ooh, that noise could break glass.

Ivy Woods
A dense forest where a thick fog lingers. There are Grass and Bug types everywhere you turn. Look up and you'll find Flying types are enjoying the highest reaches of the trees.

‡ Round 10 ‡

You head toward the woods. As you walk, you glance over at one of the purple buds which opens up to reveal a smiling Cherrim. D'aww.

As you walk, you notice snow beginning to accumulate in drifts as the sunshine of the plains is left behind. By the time you step beneath the snow-covered canopy, you see accumulations of the fluffy white stuff all around. Winter has definitely come to Ivy Woods.

After a few steps, you stop. All is silent. Where's all the Pogeymons at?

Eventually, the path forks. You see tracks in the snow that prove Pokemon have been here. The tracks heading down the left path are tiny and pointed while the tracks heading right are large and round.

You lean down to pick up the Pokeball... which, you realize, is a lot bigger than the average Pokeball. And the round tracks also seem to be... leading directly up to it?

At the last second, Zentillion realizes what's going on and shoves you out of harm's way. A triple burst of purple, yellow and blue powder erupts from what you now realize is not a Pokeball at all. Zentillion takes the hit and crumples, snoring heavily, as your new opponent turns to face you and your Pokemon aggressively.

Eventually, you reach a thick veil of hanging vines that hide the opening to a clearing. You can hear shrieks coming from the other side. Foongus can barely contain her giggles.

Suddenly, a great deal of weight pins you to the ground. All goes black as something big and wet wraps itself around your head. You feel your arms and legs getting gobbled up too as Harial cries in distress.
