The Old Village
This is the old location of the village before the battling league moved the village a mile east. In this ancient test of time, among old buildings and disused shops you will find a variety of city Pokemon living in solitude. Rumor has it there are secrets underneath the village.



You follow Timburr out of the canteen and back through the jail, passing the fairly insane Machop and the other prisoners who remain fairly quiet. It's not long before you're back into the reception area, but you notice that same Mankey stood by the door that you tried to break into earlier. Thankfully she hasn't spotted you, but somebody else has.



"Hey there little buddy!" She says patronisingly, patting the smaller Pokemon on the head. "Still not got that promotion, eh? Told you that you should have took part in that tournament a while back! It got me a job as a guard as well as an evolution, it's sure a lot more interesting than lugging around a mop all day." Timburr just smiles weakly at you and sighs.

"Even if I'm not big on fighting it certainly doesn't give you the excuse to make fun of me for it. I'm rather happy where I am currently thank you very much."

"Okay then, whatever suits you." Gurdurr shrugs. "Who're these deadbeats? New recruits I see?"


What do you do?
.:Who're you calling a deadbeat?!:.
.:Ignore her and carry on:.

Ruskie Tundra
This wide expanse of icy land extends as far as the eyes can see. Rolling snow dunes and harsh hailing conditions make it an idea place for Ice Pokemon, and only the sturdiest of winter loving beasts.


"A frozen graveyard?" Lopunny asks. "Can't say I've heard of it. How about you, Machop?"

"Nope, never heard of it!" She shakes her head disappointedly. The shiny Swinub butts you gently with his head and snorts softly. "Seems like that li'l fella knows something though! It's a darn shame that he can't talk yet though... Maybe his parents and brother will know something about it if you're able to find them?" Lopunny nods in agreement. You go on to ask about Mr Effrey and the Machop looks at you blankly.

"Oh, that creepy old Sneasel? He's always been a bit of a recluse, hiding deep in the forest in his little hut. It's rare we ever see him out, but I've heard that he dabbles in the occult. Not a very nice fellow, did you know there's a rumor going around about him kidnapping Pokemon?"

In the meantime, Prospero tries to get a lock on the location of the Swinubs' family with his innate psychic powers. It takes a while, but he gets a fleeting glance of 2 Mamoswines and a Piloswine stuck inside a cave. The entrance is blocked by a cave in, and at the back of the cave there is a huge cascading waterfall flowing into a very deep basin.

Sounds like Prospero has an idea of where your family are. He said they're holed up in a cave that's been blocked by a cave in. And that there's a big waterfall at the other end. If you know of anywhere like that, then I'll be happy to help you, especially if it helps me get where I'm going.

"Oh, I know of a place like that!" Machop exclaims proudly. "There's a whole network of ice caves under the tundra. Finding an entrance to one of them isn't easy, but when you're inside they're absolutely beautiful. I've never seen one with a waterfall in it, though."

The Old Village
This is the old location of the village before the battling league moved the village a mile east. In this ancient test of time, among old buildings and disused shops you will find a variety of city Pokemon living in solitude. Rumor has it there are secrets underneath the village.



Ignoring the 'she-jock', you push past her and carry on through the lobby. There are at least 7 different doors that look important; the largest and most secure of which is in the centre and guarded by Mankey and two Machokes. The door you came out of is furthest to the right.

"Right, I apologise about that interruption." Timburr says when he catches up. "The doors here are in a rough order of security levels, with highest security in the centre and lower security areas out towards the edges." He points back to the door you came from with his broom. "That's the lowest security end of the prison and the way to the canteen as you know, the Pokemon that are in there are only in for a small amount of time or are about to be transferred. Next is the minor offences jails which house Pokemon for up to a month, and the levels escalate until we reach the highest security prison, then they fall again as they reach the other end. Richard is obviously in the highest security part of the prison."


What do you do?
.:Make a plan:.

Welp, let's see if Operation Stupid Cake Plan works. I approach the Mankey and two Machokes and explain that Richard is severely hypoglycemic and needs the cake or else DEATH. D: Oh noes. Emergency. Etcetera.

"Hypoglyce-what?" Confusion crosses Mankey's face as you explain your 'situation'. "Death? Woahwoahwoah, this is serious, if what you're saying is true. I'll escort you there myself." The Machokes move aside as Mankey opens the door and grins. "After you."


What do you do?
.:Right...:.
.:Go through:.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Hmm, okay Prospero, time for some Beifong style tunnel detection. Focus your Psychic powers to combine the seismic energy that would go into an Earthquake and the super sonic that goes into a Water Pulse. Direct that energy down into the ground to create an earth sonar, to give you a feel of the land beneath you.

But if you think you're just going to make a big wet earthquake, then stop before you go too far and we'll come up with something else.

In a move that would do the real Lin Beifong proud, Prospero takes a deep breath and stomps hard on the ice to make a mental map of the underground structure. It takes less than a minute for him to work out that the area is riddled like swiss cheese with tunnels and caverns, and it feels like you're stood over a fairly large open cavern. However, Prospero can't feel any kind of exit or entrance to the caves anywhere nearby.

The door swings open and you step through calmly with your three companions at your heels. Cake in hand, you make your way past many, many reinforced steel doors while the patrolling guards all eye you suspiciously. You hear little of the prisoners, it's almost eerily quiet.

"Are you sure you'll be okay seeing your old trainer after all this time?" You hear Lickitung whisper to Togetic, whom even for a white Pokemon is looking a little pale. He does nothing more than shrug in reply. Up ahead, Mankey finally stops walking and begins to fumble with the keypad on one of the doors. You hear a few negative sounding beeps before she turns back to you with an embarrased look on her face.

"Well, it seems that somebody around here has changed the passcode on this door and neglected to tell me. Oh."


What do you do?
.:Look around for clues:.
.:Ask one of the ther guards:.

[Oslo]

For serious? D: But don't you realize that hypoglycemia is the number one killer of prisoners who are dying of hypoglycemia? You should head back and find a guard to ask. We'll look around for clues. Someone might have scribbled the numbers somewhere to help incompetent guards.

Giving you an evil look for calling her incompetent, Mankey approaches one of the Beldum patrolling the corridor. You don't exactly hear the exchange, but Mankey looks exhasperated and moves on to ask one of the other guards.

In the interim, you begin to inspect the walls for any signs of clues to the code. You don't notice anything in particular scribbled on them or the floor, but Timburr brings the small air hole in the door to your attention. It has a shutter drawn across it, but upon sliding it to one side there's a barred vent that is perfect to talk through.


What do you do?
.:Talk to Richard:.
.:Ask one of the the guards yourself:.
.:Break down the door:.

Meanwhile, I want to survey my surroundings to see exactly how many guards there are nearby... just in case I have to fight them off.

You whisper into the grate, and hear the sounds of motion from behind it. There's a few shuffling noises, and when you look into the grate you see the infamous Richard looking back at you. "Huh, never seen you around. Whaddya want?" It seems that the shaggy haired teen isn't one for manners.

As you whisper, you notice how many guards there really are. And boy, there are a lot of them.

(x3)(x2)(x2)(x4)(x2)

Seems like fighting your way out isn't much of an option.

[Oslo]

Boy I wish that more than 20 images were allowed per post. xD

You have no idea how happy this would make me.

Since Togetic has been very helpful so far, I want to give him the opportunity to address Richard. It would be cruel taking him down here and not giving him a chance to confront his former master.

If Togetic would rather not say anything, I will (very, very quietly) ask Richard if he knows anything about the elusive Jirachi map.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Hgnn.. now that Prospero knows where the caves are, she should be able to teleport us in. But I don't think she'll be able to do everyone. So, Machop and Lopunny. If you can keep these Swinub safe and secure, Pro and I will go into the tunnels to find the grown ups. If everyone is ok with that, then I'll ask Prospero to Teleport us into one of the tunnels.

"...Wait, did you just say Togetic?" Richard asks, attempting to peer around the grate. "Is that really you, old buddy?" He says softly, his voice cracking a little. Togetic flutters up to the grate nervously and eyes his old trainer with a cold blank stare. "Wow, it's been so long..." Richard says, almost as though he was recalling fond memories of the past.

"And whose fault is that? If you'd never got caught up in looking for that map, we'd have never ended up this way!"

You see Richard smile slightly, his lopsided grin unnerves Togetic who flies backwards a little. Thankfully the guards are still occupied with Mankey, otherwise they may have noticed that; Togetic realises his mistake and speaks more of a hushed tone. "Why did you do it, Rick?"

He chuckles darkly. "Power can corrupt a person."


What do you do?
.:Ask about the map:.

Hrm. It sounds like someone or something really set your brain askew, Richard. What happened and what do you know of the map?

"Alright!" Machop says cheerfully, scooping one of the Swinub into her arms. "These three are in good hands until you return!"

Prospero grabs your arm yet again and teleports you into one of the underground caves. The one you stand in is huge and made entirely of ice, or at least it feels like it in the pitch dark contitions. There is a small amount of light coming from ahead of where you stand, but it isn't nearly bright enough to illuminate the gloom.

Richard leans forward and taps his fingers on the bottom of the grate separating the two of you. "Now why would I tell that to a complete stranger, hm?" He leans forward so that his face is almost touching the bars. "I wouldn't give away my number one secret to just anybody, now would I? No, I have certain... conditions that I would like to be met before I tell you anything that juicy."

Prospero takes a well earned break for a while as you think of how to proceed. The soft glow at the end of the tunnel seems a good way to proceed, so you and Prospero head down there to investigate.



The 7 are dancing in a circle, with the shiny Jynx stood in the middle chanting ominous words in a language you don't recognise. Each of them is glowing softly, and it suddenly occurs to you that you can hear the sound of a waterfall.

"Break me out of here, and I'll tell you all you need to know." Richard steps back and holds his arms out wide. "You have my word."

Lickitung leans over and whispers in your ear. "I don't think we can trust him, when he's out, who knows what he could do!"

"Well, I'm the only lead you've got. Only me and me alone knows where that map is stashed. Besides, I could always call the guards over and have them expose your little plot... There's not a lot they can do to me - I'm in for life anyway. You, however..."

Your yells attract the guards immediately, who run over hastily and almost trip over one another in the process. Spearheaded by the Lairon, the group huddle around Richard's cell.

"Alright, alright, we're getting help now. Primape - open the cell door will you?"

Swinging open with a flat thud, the door reveals Richard lying flat on his back on the floor with his tongue lolling out of the side of his mouth. You notice him twitching slightly, and Primape yells out into the crowd of guards. "Does anyone know anything about medical procedures?"

Everyone other than Richard is silent, he's now flailing comically and coughing overdramatically.

"...It looks like we'll have to get the prison doctor. Human, could you go and find the onsite doctor, Croagunk? We need to make sure that this is as serious as you say it is. We'll give him the cake for now and try to keep him stable."

You shimmy along the wall to the other side of the cavern, but the Smoochums notice you immediately and bring you to the attention of the shiny Jynx in the centre.

"Oh look, our newest sacrifices~" He says, twirling on the spot. "It will most definitely make up for the ones that esca~aped!~" He moves aside revealing a large chrome pot with a violently frothing red liquid inside that's giving off a fetid looking gas that makes you feel at least slightly drowsy. He spins and traps you both with a Mean Look, and proceeds to stir the pot. "Almost rea~dy!~"

Lickitung and Togetic each erect a protective barrier to move the guards to one side as you send out your Pokemon, who leap into action the second they hear your commands. Esquire blows a hole in the ceilling for you to escape from, and you all leap onto a Pokemon and take to the skies. Left on the ground, the guards curse and yell, to which Richard replies with an obscene gesture involving his middle finger. How very thoughtful of him.

As you leave the building, Richard lets out a whoop of joy. However, the moment of joy is short lived.

"Erm, sorry to put a dampener on this, but we're being followed." Lickitung says worriedly. You turn around and see a large group of guards using Magnet rise to chase after you.





Timburr whimpers. "Uh-oh, that's general Magnezone! He's the Chief of Police, and believe you me, you do NOT want to anger him."

"Soup? Ple~ease, you underestimate my brewing abilities~" The shiny Jynx giggles as you command Prospero to burn the air up with a Flamethrower to get rid of the ghastly fumes. The group recoil from the flames and after you threaten to tip their 'soup' both you and Prospero are locked into place with multiple Psychic attacks and one of the Jynx surrounds the pot with a Protective barrier. "You think you're able to escape?~ Only the Mamoswines have ever escaped our grasp, and that was because they got lucky.~" Jynx approaches you and puckers up those 'lips' of his.

Esquire melts back into a ditto and transforms into a shiny carbon copy of General Magnezone, whom is catching up with you fast. He pulls both of your flying Pokemon closer so that he can whisk you away to another place. Before he can, however, General Magnezone sends an immense Zap Cannon flying straight at Brando that shocks both him and his passengers. Luckily, they're teleported with you and you end up somewhere completely unfamiliar - a lovely grassy field that make Timburr sneeze.

A large 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.


Richard makes nothing more than a slight noise of protest in reaction to his trapping and he is quick to talk. "Right, the map is hidden at the base of a tree by my old home in Warwick Meadows. Luckily, that's not far from here - it feels to me like we're in the sunshine fields."



"Although, said tree won't be easy to find. Honestly, I can't remember much about the day I was arrested - I spent so much time trying to forget that day - but I know that I left a small token on the ground nearby to remind me of it. If I remember correctly, it was a rock in the shape of a star, I left it half buried at the bottom of the tree."

Walking at a leisurely pace, you and Richard begin to chat. You ask about the power of the map and Richard replies willingly, happy to have finally found someone to actually talk with. "I don't think that the map itself has any kind of power; but I think that the enticing power and the work that it takes to find it can corrupt a person quickly.

"It took me years of searching to find that map, and when I found it for it to suddenly turn blank... I think it was the frustration that made me do it." Togetic looks up to his old master, his face is a battleground of emotions ranging from hatred to a deep rooted fondness.

"I knew that searching for that map was a bad idea." The egg Pokemon says, shaking his head and gritting his teeth. "I could see you changing while you were searching, but I didn't say anything out of fear of upsetting you. It would have ripped the younger you's heart out, or at least that's what I thought."

"However;" Richard cuts in, unsure how to respond to Togetic's qualms. "I wouldn't completely rule out that map having some sort of magical power. I think it must have seen that I wasn't ready to handle a legendary Pokemon, and that's why it cleared itself. How to get the writing back, though, I have no idea. I remember seeing some kind of writing on the back of the map, but I don't remember what it said at all."
