Pokemon BrainStrain v.15 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Knight of Time]

Two mighty guesses, and even though neither is what I'm looking for, one of them yields a big clue.

Salamence: S??a?e*
Serperior: S*

[Shadow Wolf]

This one seems to be a Sneasel

[Knight of Time]

If it seems to be something, it's probably what you thought it is. You got it, Louis!

'hands you the Sneasel figurine'

Go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Alright. Thanks Kyle.

OK, so you know those multi-colored button-shaped chocolates, each of which has the letter "_" printed in lower case in white on one side, consisting of a candy shell surrounding a filling which varies depending upon the variety of said candy? Yeah, they usually come in different colors and most of the times, they have the ads with the red and the yellow one in different situations? Yeah, they are called _&_'s and they are made my the company _ars.

Yeah, that know letter the said company starts this neslxt BrainStrain.

[Knight of Time]

I actually prefer Smarties over M&Ms, but nonetheless, I'm gonna try Manectric first.

[Shadow Wolf]

Fair enough. And maybe that might work out, since this was a good start:

Manectric: Man*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Trying Mantine.

[Shadow Wolf]

Making a splashy progress with this guess:

Mantine: Man?i*

[Knight of Time]

Mikachu's guess may have made a big splash, but I can top that easily with...Mandibuzz!

[Shadow Wolf]

And just like the rot disappears under these kind of birds, Kyle makes this BrainStrain disappear with the winning guess of Mandibuzz. Well played!

*Gives Mandibuzz figurine*

Your turn!

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis.

If you pluralize just about any word, you add a specific letter. That letter begins the next one.

[Shadow Wolf]

Would Solosis also count as plural?

(It is also my first guess)

[Knight of Time]

I dunno. But it provides a big clue!

Solosis: S????i*

[Shadow Wolf]

It does, yet I'm still surprised at all the possibilities for this one.

Let's go with Shaymin and see where this goes.

[Knight of Time]

Shaymin: S????i*

[Shadow Wolf]

Worth a try. Anyway, let's go with Sceptile.

[Knight of Time]

Sceptile: S????i*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll give Sizzlipede a shot.

EDIT: Hmph, another wasted guess...

[Knight of Time]

Your guess wasn't a total waste Mikachu, it provided a little more information.

Sizzlipede: S???li*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

It could be Swirlix.

[Knight of Time]

You got it, Mikachu!

'hands you the Swirlix figurine'

Go for it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thank you very much.

I often start my day with coffee, but this one starts with T!

[Shadow Wolf]

Ok, let's start with Terrakion.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Terrakion: T?????i*

[Knight of Time]

I believe it's Tranquill.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And you're right, Knight of Time! Here you are, and your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu.

'places a sign with "second verse, same as the first" on it'

Pay attention to the sign guys. The starting letter of this one is the one that started the previous puzzle.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

T Time again? I'll choose you! Torracat!

[Knight of Time]

Torracat: To*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about the little Togepi?

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll add Toxapex to the mix.

[Knight of Time]

One of you was very close to hitting the bullseye here.

Togepi: Toge?i*
Toxapex: To*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is it Togekiss?

[Knight of Time]

Looks like you went one step too far, Mikachu.

Togekiss: Toge?i*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So then it must be Togetic.

[Knight of Time]

Now you got it.

'hands over the Togetic figurine'

Go for it, Mikachu!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thank you so much.

This Pokemon starts with the same letter as Leonardo and Louis!

[Shadow Wolf]

Cool, glad to have my name here. Anyway, let's start with Landorus.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Landorus: L??d*

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Loudred.
