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

[DarkestLight]

Harial come on out! I need you to cast Energy Ball on the guy in the cell.

DARKESTLIGHT'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!

TMPL Prison
The old prison is found under the Old Village, where Steel and Fighting types roam, testing their strength against the old furnishings.

‡ Round 50 ‡

Harial glows green and he fires off an Energy Ball. It bursts against Virizion's body. You watch as the green lights gets sponged up by the Musketeer's Body. Waiting, you peer over the still-unmoving body to see if anything happens. Silence, and then...

Coughing. Suddenly, Virizion's eyes open a bit and a pale, greenish tinge is cast over its body. It looks healthier than before, but not by much.

"Thank you, child," Virizion says. "I cannot thank you enough for what you have done. Now, listen. I am still weak. I wish to return to the Mysterious Rainforest to save my comrades from the humans, but I am in no condition to travel. If you wish to assist me still, travel to the Nevshard Badlands. There is an apothecary there where you will be able to acquire the medicine I need to return to full health. Your Litwick will need to remain here with me and sustain me with its Energy. Do you understand?"

How do you proceed?

"Would you be able to sustain me, little one?" Virizion asks Harial.

Harial looks from Virizion to you to Virizion again before nodding. Problem solved!

‡ Round 52 ‡

Leaving Harial with Virizion, you take the stairs down to Cellblock C. You step out into another narrow corridor lined with cells and immediately spot Zentillion in one of them. She's bound and muzzled, sitting behind bars while glowering at the Lairon guarding her. The Lairon is presently blowing her a raspberry. Real mature.

The Lairon, you realize, is accompanied by a worker. Perhaps the worker is the Lairon's trainer? Either way, the worker turns to you as you enter. Eep.

‡ Round 53 ‡

The worker gives you a casual nod as you approach Zent's cell.




The muzzle and bindings keeping Zentillion immured look tough. Your Tyranitar glances up at you with a look of recognition but keeps calm and doesn't blow your cover. Just as you begin to plot your escape, a sudden screeching noise fills the prison followed by a voice over the loudspeaker:

Jailbreak! There has been a jailbreak! A prisoner has escaped! I repeat, a prisoner in Cellblock A has escaped!

You had to expect they'd notice your empty cell eventually, right?

"Woah, so what are we supposed to do?" the other worker asks you.

You dupe the worker into letting you recall Zent. Oh, you little trickster.

Suddenly, the loudspeaker goes off again.

All human personnel must proceed to Cellblock A for mandatory inspection. I repeat, all human personnel must proceed to Cellblock A for mandatory inspection.

"I wonder what that's all about," the worker says.

‡ Round 55 ‡

You dupe the worker into letting you sneak off to Cellblock B. The stairwell is crowded with confused, anxious workers heading toward inspection. In the chaos of milling bodies, you find the landing for Cellblock B and dart off down the corridor.

Marauder sits in her cell, bound as well. There are no other humans here, but instead you see many more Pokemon guards than you'd encountered before. Clearly, they're on high alert.



"Aren't you supposed to be heading for inspection?" the shiny Makuhita asks. "We were told not to let anybody, not even a worker, near this bird."

How do you proceed?

‡ Round 56 ‡

Continuing your sneaky ways, you tell the guards a lie and recall Marauder with his Pokeball. You turn to walk away, but the Makuhita darts around you and blocks your escape. How did that punchbag get to be so agile, anyway?



"You passed inspection, you say? That certainly didn't take long, did it?" she asks. "So if I marched with you back up to Cellblock A, they'd be able to confirm that you're the real deal?"

You're going to have to think fast.

‡ Round 58 ‡

You hurry up the stairs, passing the landing for Cellblock A. However, as you do, you hear a sudden shout.

"There he is! That's him!"

You peer through the doorway into the cellblock. Standing in the corridor outside Virizion's cell is no less than two dozen workers getting inspected. One of the workers, you realize, is wearing nothing but his undies. Uh-oh. He looks particularly enraged.

"That's the intruder who knocked me out and stole my uniform!" he cries.

‡ Round 59 ‡

You scurry up the stairs with a mob of angry workers chasing after you. You eventually reach the top of the steps, which empty out into the living room of an old, abandoned house. Oh, the Old Village. What a crazy place.

Suddenly, one of the workers pursuing you lunges forth and grabs your ankle. Eek!

‡ Round 61 ‡

Quickly, you whip out one of your Pokeballs and summon your Staraptor. You hop aboard Marauder who finds the nearest window and careens right for it. You brace yourself for the impact as Marauder bursts through the glass, opening her wings and taking flight. As Marauder beats his wings beneath you, rapidly gaining altitude, you turn back and see the horde of workers hopelessly reaching their arms through the empty frame. After that dank dungeon of a place, the fresh air is nice.

As you leave the Old Village behind, you're hopeful that Harial won't be found hiding with Virizion. You have a choice now: head to the Nevshard Badlands and retrieve Virizion's medicine or return to Feizhi Outpost and try that whole thing all over again.

‡ Round 62 ‡

You travel south, leaving the coloured roofs of the Old Village behind. Soon, the land grows progressively more yellow and arid. Letting out a squawk, Marauder descends upon the warm sand of the Nevshard Badlands.

You're surrounded by a series of rocky formations. These formations extend in all directions except for the east, which is occupied by nothing but a swirling haze of sand. No sign of an apothecary anywhere.

Nearby, a Cacnea dozes in the daylight while a Trapinch roams around the rock formations. A trio of Digletts pop in and out of the sand in unison, playing some sort of game.

You approach the rock formation. A Durant with a deranged look in its eye pops out of a crevice.



"What are you doing?" it hisses. "Away with you! Away, or it will all come down upon our heads!"

Shrieking maniacally, it pops back in. Um. Guess you were right about that heat.

You ask about the apothecary. The Durant again pokes out of his hidey-hole.



"You must be of sound moral character and noble pedigree! Only then will the apothecary present itself to you and your Deino accomplices!" he wails before zipping away back into his crevice.

Helpful.

"Are you looking for the apothecary?" a passing Sandshrew asks helpfully. "Follow me!"



She seems helpful enough... but if she's anything like that Durant...

Leaving Durant to his nutty ways, you follow Sandshrew to another rock formation inscribed with a mortar and pestle. Here, you see a cave entrance blocked with a large boulder. On the boulder is a note.

To whom it may concern,

We have gone to the temple to gather ingredients. We ought to return within the hour.

"Those are the Pokemon who run the apothecary. They left the note this morning," Sandshrew explains. "They've been gone for six or seven hours! You don't think something happened, do you?"

Sandshrew gestures helpfully to the vast expanse of desert, devoid of any rock formations or, well, anything. You begin your trek, leaving behind the shady area and embarking into the scorching heat. The fact that it's winter cools you down a bit, but only by so much.

You quickly lose track of time. You feel yourself dripping with sweat. Marauder lets out a feeble moan, tired of plodding along through these conditions. His energy begins to dissipate and both of you are starting to get dehydrated.

Suddenly, you see a structure in the distance. Is it the temple? You approach, looking at the luminous red sign on display above the double doors. It says Dairy Queen.

That... can't be right. Or can it?

Suddenly, you see something in the distance. It's... charging right for you, poised to strike.

The brilliant green beam screams through the air, hitting you in the gut and throwing you backwards. The attack has burnt a sizeable hole in your shirt. As you pull yourself up, the adrenaline pumping through your body allows you to view Deoxys for what it really is.
