Pokemon BrainStrain v.15 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Knight of Time]

I wonder if it's Chandelure?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

You don't have to wonder anymore. Turns out this is Chandelure. Here you are!

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu.

Okay, time to get close to the tail of the alphabet. I present a V to start you guys off for this one.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, not sure if it can be a guaranteed victory, but I believe Victini is a good guess to start with.

Edit: substituted a V for a B in the part where it says "...it can Be a...". The guess was not edited

[Knight of Time]

And we're off to a great start!

Victini: V?????i*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Could this be Vanillish?

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll try Vanillite.

[Knight of Time]

Could this be Vanillish?

I'll try Vanillite.

A pair of good guesses guys, as a matter of fact, one of you made the winning guess!

The winner is...

(Spoiler:) Louis! Can you imagine eating a mountain of ice cream? Even if you can't, you're probably wondering what a massive amount of ice cream has to do with your win here. This happens to be a Dynamax Vanillite!

'hands over the oversized figurine'

Go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, I can say with confidence that I'm ready for summer, hahahaha. Thanks Kyle.

I believe you can C the letter that begins the next puzzle, right?

[Knight of Time]

I can hardly wait for summer myself. Meanwhile, I'll start with Charmander.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll try Cloyster.

[Shadow Wolf]

Looks like the progress is overwhelming.


Charmander: C?a??a??er
Cloyster: C*

[Knight of Time]

Looks like a Crabrawler.

[Shadow Wolf]

And that is correct. You have earned a Crabrawler figurine.

*Hands over figurine*

Your turn!

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis, that's a new figurine.

Okay, the first consonant to come immediately before a vowel is your starting letter here (hint: it doesn't come immediately before A, I, O, or U).

[Shadow Wolf]

*insert incredibly complex problem meme here*

Let's start with Dialga.

[Knight of Time]

Dialga: D*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Donphan?

Edit: No, it cannot be Donphan. Why it's always this way? Must be more careful.

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll try Duosion now.

[Knight of Time]

Donphan: D*
Duosion: Du???o*

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... Let's try Dusknoir.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

It could also be Dusclops.

[Knight of Time]

Louis got it once again, as this was Dusknoir. Better luck next time Mikachu!

'hands the Dusknoir figurine over to its winner'

Go for it Louis.

[Shadow Wolf]

Excellent. Thank you Kyle. I do have a Dusk por already, so this one's up for trade.

Now, think of the fourth vowel in the English alphabet. From there, go back 2 letters and you will land in the letter that starts the next puzzle (if you landed in L, you went too far back).

[Knight of Time]

lol, are you copying my playful trick for figuring out the first letter, Louis?

Let's start with Manectric.

[Shadow Wolf]

You can definitely say it was inspired by your mastery of it. Then again, we were also similar in our approach to games like "Whack-A-TPMer", if you remember those, hehehe.

Manectric: M*

[Knight of Time]

I miss that game (as well as a certain person I used to love whacking in it; if he returns to TPM someday and the game is revived, I'd love to try a new whack)! Meanwhile, let's try Meowth next.

[Shadow Wolf]

There were a few players I recall, but it was indeed a fun game to play. As for this one:

Meowth: M*

[Knight of Time]

I'll try Muk next.

[Shadow Wolf]

Not a stinky guess by any means, though I do wonder how much progress it has been made:

Muk: M*

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Mr. Rime.

[Shadow Wolf]

And you nail it Kyle. The Charlie Chaplin lookalike is yours.

*Hands over Mr. Rime figurine*

Your turn!

[Knight of Time]

lol, cool (I mean that quite literally).

One of my favorite exotic fruits is green, and has many, many tiny edible seeds in it. Its first letter is the starting letter for this puzzle.

(Spoiler:) If you're thinking of a kiwi, you'd be right.

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's start with Keldeo

[Knight of Time]

Keldeo: K*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK. And now I'll try Kyogre.

[Knight of Time]

Kyogre: K*

[Shadow Wolf]

OK, let's go now with Karrablast.

[Knight of Time]

Karrablast: K?r*

[Shadow Wolf]

I believe this is a Kirlia.
