Pokemon BrainStrain v.15 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Knight of Time got this. Here you are!

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu.

Okay guys, I hate to say it, but I am fresh out of coffee and hot chocolate in the hot beverage department. Will tea do instead? The first letter of my lone available drink begins this one.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hahaha, the healthiest options of them all.

Anyway, let's start with a solid guess in Terrakion.

[Knight of Time]

Your solid guess had a rock solid result. Congratulations Louis, you won a Terrakion figurine!

'hands the legendary figurine to you'

I bet you weren't expecting to get that on the first try, were you? Anyway, go for it!

[Shadow Wolf]

Whoa, definitely not. That's like what, a 1/980 give or take (including alternate forms)? That was definitely surprising. Thank you very much.

OK, so Mario is a renown character. He has saved s few princesses in his different quests. One of them is the Princess of Sarasaland. Currently she is sometimes referred as "Luigi's answer to Mario's Princess Peach". The first letter of her name begins the next puzzle:

[Knight of Time]

D is for Daisy...and also for Dragonair?

[Shadow Wolf]

Nice correct answer and a nice start too:

Dragonair: Drag*

[Knight of Time]

Maybe it is Dragapult?

[Shadow Wolf]

That is correct Kyle. You have won a Dragapult figurine.

*Gives figurine*

Your turn buddy.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis.

Okay, be sure to mind your _'s and Q's if you want to win this one (the starting letter fills in the blank).

[Shadow Wolf]

If I got it correctly, could I try Pheromosa as a first guess please?

[Knight of Time]

You got the starting letter right, although you'll need to try a little harder to get this one.

Pheromosa: P??r*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Nyah, Nyaiking, I'm going to go with Perrserker.

[Knight of Time]

You appear to have the grit of a true Viking, my Finnish friend. You wanna know why?

It is because you won a Perrserker figurine!

'hands it to you'

Go for it!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Cool! Thanks! My ancestors might just be Danish Vikings since they were related to Finland and my surname Tanska, Finnish for Denmark!

The name of the next Pokemon is... M... Mikachu! Oops, I got too excited and confused Oh well, at least it starts with letter M.

[Knight of Time]

lol. I'll start with Manaphy.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Manaphy: M*

[Knight of Time]

Okay, I'll try Mew next.

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll go with Musharna

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Mew: Me*
Musharna: M*

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's go crazy and guess Melmetal

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Melmetal: Me???t*

[Shadow Wolf]

Then this must be the legendary, mythical, pokemon who survived wars, trauma and has evolved into a:

Meowstic.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And Meowstic it is. The Randomizer didn't specify the gender so I guess it's up to you.

Congratulations, and your turn.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thank you. I'm not sure how the male/female plushies are treated when they have drastic differences, but if they do count as separate, then I'll claim a female figurine, since it was the first one I saw when I played Pokemon Y for the first time.

Anyway next BrainStrain is up, so use the first consonant of the English alphabet as the starting point (it's also the first letter of the name of this game [excluding the word Pokemon from the title, of course])

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

If I got this right, I'm starting this off with Baltoy.

[Shadow Wolf]

You did Mikachu, and you also got a nice start.

Baltoy: Ba*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Basculin.

[Shadow Wolf]

This hook may need an alternate bait.

Basculin: Ba*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'm going for Bayleef next.

[Shadow Wolf]

Did this grow a new leaf?

Bayleef: Ba*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I may have just eggs, no bacon in my refrigerator, but what will guessing Bagon do to this puzzle?

[Shadow Wolf]

Will it bang the head in frustration like the Pokémon? Maybe...

Bagon: Ba*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Barraskewda now, maybe the alternate bait you mentioned will work.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... Looks like this one is aware of the song from the group Heart.

Barraskewda: Ba*

[Knight of Time]

I believe that song is Barracuda. Anyway, this has to be Banette.

[Shadow Wolf]

You are right about the song. In the context, the composer is aware of certain people who had really disgusting thoughts (something fishy going on there). Hence why, when I mentioned that the puzzle may have been aware (since it wasn't the correct answer, the puzzle wasn't falling for that hook).

Anyway, let me end that long tangent by giving you the Banette figurine.

*Gives figurine*

Nice job in working out the puzzle Kyle. Now it's your turn to set the line for the next one.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis.

Get your brains ready guys, I'm throwing you a curve ball. Your starting letter is an S.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll start with Salamence.

[Shadow Wolf]

And I'll follow with Serperior
