It's currently night-time now, yes?

>>8190090
Indeed it is.

>>8190114
Wake Gabite and the other Pokemon up, Courtney and Stan as well.

>>8190136
You climb out of the tunnel and proceed with the waking up. Are you focusing on just them, or letting Sarina and the others sleep?

(Charmeleon, you got some 'splaining to do)
Magnemite notices Charmeleon awakening and decides to aid her in waking up everyone else.

>>8190161
Yes, let Sarina and the two grunts sleep. Golbat stays to watch over the building, and we take one of the Zubats with us just in case.

Oh hey, Charmander quest.
Have you had your dinner before starting the quest this time?

>>8190181
Where are you headed?

>>8190200
No, dinner won't be for another three hours.

>>8190205
We're going to the apartment buildings where Sarah and the other townspeople are being held.

Oh, hey, something that would be better received on tgchan.

>>8190237
You proceed out, into Mauville's night, and head towards the apartment complex. Is there anything Charmeleon and Magnemite want to talk about on the way?

>>8190284
That's up to Magnemite I suppose. Charmeleon is focused on getting the others to the apartment complex without being spotted.

>>8190284
"Charmeleon, would you care to explain the purpose behind this excursion, or do you intend it to be a... surprise?"

>>8190302
"Our friend Bishop visited me last night. She said she could retrieve the Pokemon that Skarem stole from Mauville for us tonight. If she keeps her word, I want to be there with the Humans when they are reunited with their Pokemon."

>>8190329
Magnemite immediately freezes in the air, eye staring straight ahead.
"...What. But... How... WHY?"
Magnemite calms down and resumes following Charmeleon.
"...This... I have no idea what this means... If they had the power to do so the whole time why now, and why you?"

>>8190406
I'm not sure what they want.
They want me alive, and they have interest in porygon-z.
They might be using us as a distraction, or bait, or be trying to observe me. I don't know.
I know that they're friends, though.
And right now, I need friends.
*Hug Magnemite*

>>8190406
"Perhaps it is only because we did not ask them before. We still do not know what they are capable of, so it's not surprising that they have some abilities that we are not aware of."

>>8190455
"...But the town was under Skarem's rule for years. People DIED Charmeleon. And Bishop and her teammates, even if they were unwilling to fight, could have done this whenever they wanted. But they didn't. Until YOU asked them too. They value gaining your favor more than the fate of half of Hoenn. Do you understand the magnitude of that?"

>>8190474
Then obviously it's not my Favor they want from this.

>>8190474
I don't like how I don't know what bishop wants, what his goals are, who he works for, why his organisation was created, or anything about what's happening. There's more to this than I see and I'm worried, but I can work through this if it means we can save those Pokemon and save Mauville.

>>8190474
also, when did YOU learn the seriousness of people dying, anyway? You haven't experienced the death of anyone yet, you're under a month old. *prod Magnemite*

>>8190474
"Perhaps that is so, Magnemite - but I don't understand why you're so worried. Even if they didn't do anything to stop Skarem, they didn't do anything to help him either - at least not to my knowledge so far. They might not be true comrades in our cause, but at least they are not our enemies - for the moment."

>>8190506
Bishop's a woman, and I have no problem with this Checkmate or whatever group freeing the pokemon, I'm just wondering why they did so only because Charmeleon wanted them free, instead of out of... y'know, basic human dignity.

>>8190522
"I am concerned because things like this, they aren't free. There will be a price to pay for this, and I hope it is one we can stomach.
But enough of this, we should first see if they kept their word."

>>8190536
They want charmeleon.
With charmeleon pinned down in Mauville, she isn't doing much.
Presumably, charmeleon is going to do -something- that furthers Checkmate's goals unknowingly, and the faster that happens, the better.

>>8190453
Goddamnit Magnemite I hugged you! Respond! ><

>>8190567
I have no arms! Only magnets. Cold, partially electrified magnets.

>>8190559
"The cost of freedom always comes at a price, Magnemite..." Charmeleon remembers Seviper/Sableye's trainer, and all the others that were killed when Porygon Z awoke, "...but rest assured, if they expect me to become one of their pawns - they will the ones paying."

>>8190624
"...Are you assuming that people are required to inform you that they are manipulating you?
They tricked you into making Z want to kill us more than normal... Though I would think he would have acted by now. ...Maybe you really did unnerve him... But I digress, is it much farther?"

>>8190676
>They tricked you into making Z want to kill us more than normal
Wat

I just want to say that you guys are awesome and that this is the best laid Quest I've ever seen. 28 parts is an achievement, and I hope you're all proud of it. Keep goin' guys.

>>8190688
As a result of you entering Z's mind, Porygon Z now want to obliterate us much more than he wants to destroy Team Rocket... which could actually serve as a threat to him.
But no... You had to make the guy who at least goes through the motions of killing all who know of him worry that you know all his secrets.

>>8190723
Better he should learn to fear us than think of us as his toys to play with as he wants.

Would you fucking faggots just take this shit off of /tg/ already. This is the worst fucking attempt at a quest I have seen on /tg/, and thats saying a lot.

>>8190748
Except... He can kill us. Like, whenever he wants. He can probably travel through cyberspace just like regular Porygon making him roughly omnipresent.
...In any case I think I'm pretty much done with this conversation for now.

>>8190786
Indeed. To the apartments we go.

>>8190794
To the apartments you go indeed. You manage to reach the buildings themselves without incident.

>>8190819
We head towards the building housing Sarah, making sure that there aren't any other guards in the area.

>>8190836
There seems to be no guards here, a fact that perturbs Stan. "What happened here? How could they have overlooked putting in new guards?"

>>8190878
Charmeleon hears this, and gets a bad feeling.
"Sableye, slip inside and see if anything's happened."

>>8190898
Magnemite, do you want to roleplay Sableye?

>>8190878
They're all at the generator.
Shit's goin' LIVE, and everyone's there suspecting an ambush.

"So let me get this straight. You want me to walk into a potentially lethal trap... Well all I have to say to that is... It's about time darling!"
With a saw-toothed grin, Sableye proceeds with infiltration.
(Can Sableye actually use Shadow Sneak to slip under the door? Because if not Sableye will climb up the wall and attempt to use a window)

>>8190958
Sableye can indeed sneak under the door.

>>8190992
Then lets go with that.

>>8191015
You successfully sneak under the door, ending up in the front hall of the apartment. Inside, a pair of Magma grunts are lying on top of each other, apparently unconscious.

>>8191051
Out of habit, Sableye checks to see if they have that Magma emblem on them, as well as their wallets. She then moves to a corner and stays as still and quiet as possible. Pinpointing where any sound and light is coming from.

>>8191085
Emblems, yes. Wallets, no. You wait there, scanning the room, and see a human-shaped shadow somewhere under the stairs.

>>8191126
Sableye slowly glides towards the shadow, ready to pop up and Astonish whoever it belongs to.

>>8191126
uh-oh

>>8191162
Side note, can Foresight be used to get a clearer look at something?

>>8191162
You slowly creep forward, when the figure steps out of the shadows, revealing itself to be a woman dressed in the shadowy robes of the chess people. She gives you a nod. "You're with Charmeleon?"

>>8191197
DAMN IT BISHOP, QUIT SNEAKING AROUND LIKE THAT! Almost gave me a heart-attack...

>>8191197
Sableye decides to lower her guard, reasonably confident that her Dark nature offers some protection.
"I suppose you could say that. She's right outside."

>>8191237
"Good. The bishop and her forces will be here shortly; alert her to their arrival, if you would be so kind?"

>>8191290
"Not in a mood to talk to her yourself? Fine by me I guess. ...Though about those thugs in the doorway... I forgot to check for a pulse, are they going to be waking up anytime soon?"

>>8191333
"Oh, they'll wake up. Not, I daresay, soon."

>>8191363
"Well alright then."
Sableye walks towards the door, looks up, frowns, and is about to slide under it when she pauses and turns towards the hooded figure.
"Hey, our bold leader said something about an old lady living here. ...Is she in right now?"

>>8191417
When you turn back, the shadowy figure is gone.

>>8191425
Alarm bells ringing in her head Sableye decides to search the house. For the woman of course. If she's also looking where the valuables might be, that's just a fortuitous coincidence.
(It is not a coincidence. Do you know how long its been since Sableye had a nice multifaceted meal? ...Though she really is prioritizing finding Sarah first)

>>8191425
...creepy

>>8191481
and suspicious, especially if it wasn't just bad timing.

>>8191480
You head into Sarah's apartment. You haven't been here before, but it doesn't look too different from other human dwellings; from the bedroom, you can hear the sound of deep breathing.

>>8191516
Does it sound like humans when they are asleep? Or say, humans when they have been stabbed in the lungs? Like does it sound labored is what I'm asking.

>>8191533
Humans when they're asleep.

>>8191570
As fun as it would be to given the human a wake up surprise, she remembered her old master telling her something about 'heart attacks' and decided against it.
Reassured, she slips out the door to find Charmeleon.
"Well aren't you a lucky one? Turns out one of Bishop's girls was here and decided to take care of the little Magma problem. She couldn't stick around, but she said the whole gang will be over pretty soon.
Oh and that lady who lives here is asleep, so I'd suggest knocking. People tend not to take having people in their house uninvited, in my experience."

>>8191632
Charmeleon is puzzled by the news that one of Bishop's followers was already inside waiting for them, but decides that's not important for now. She leads the others inside the building.

>>8191668
You also see the KOed Magma grunts, which Stan nods understandingly at, as you head towards Sarah's apartment.

Magnemite hovers in. It is slightly surprised to see the Magma Grunts just on the ground, but ignores them once it can see that they are breathing.
"Charmeleon, should we awaken Sarah, or shall we just wait here?"

>>8191719
Charmeleon ponders for a few seconds before replying, "Better to be safe than sorry. Magnemite, stay here with Stan and keep an eye on these grunts. We can't risk them waking up and alerting the others to our presence."

>>8191763
Magnemite huffs slightly at apparently being left out but complies.

>>8191763
You knock on Sarah's door. After a few moments, she comes out, opening the door and giving you a surprised look. "You're back?"

>>8192015
"I promised you I would, and I always keep my word. Have you spoken with the other townspeople?"

>>8192034
She nods. "I don't have a whole lot of support, though; most people don't think that we can really do anything here, and I've only been able to talk to the people in this building."

>>8192057
"Then we shall prove to them what we are capable of. We must wake them all up and gather them for what we've brought for them."

>>8192160
"What have you brought?"

>>8192195
Charmeleon turns to re-enter the main hallway of the apartment building, looking over her shoulder as she replies, "Freedom..."

>>8192332
As you enter, you come close to walking into the bishop, who's reappeared along with two other colleagues, several Poke Balls strapped to each of them.

>>8192445
"Did you get all of them?"

>>8192518
She nods, smiling. "Of course."

>>8192525
"I hope it wasn't too difficult for you. I'd hate to be too much in your debt." As we say this, we send the others off to awaken the other townspeople inside the apartment building and bring them all downstairs.

>>8192627
She shakes her head. "Your every action repays any debt that you may incur from us, Charmeleon."
Magnemite, do you wish to roleplay anything here?

Sorry about that, computer went down.
Since Magnemite appeared to be in the same room when Bishop materialized, did it see anything?
Magnemite recalls that though it has no reason to trust Bishop, it has little reason to -mis-trust her. At least for now. And so keeping its voice neutral it says.
"Charmeleon, I, and I am sure the entire city is grateful for this rescue... Though if I may ask, would you have done this had Charmeleon not sparked your interest?"

>>8192804
The bishop turns toward you, smiling. "Freeing this city is quite an important thing for us, rest assured."

>>8192876
Magnemite notes that she didn't say yes... But decides not to make anything of it.
"I had heard from a grunt we captured that Magma planned to melt down the pokeballs, while the pokemon were still inside. This... was not true was it?"

>>8192909
Charmeleon listens to the response to this.

>>8192909
"Whether it was planned or not, I can't say. It certainly didn't happen, however."

>>8192973
"Fair enough. One last question. Has Team Magma already noticed that they have been compromised?"

>>8192983
"I doubt it. Our mission was carried out swiftly."

>>8192992
(Well I'm done. I still don't trust them, but just because they might be bad doesn't mean that they enjoy making people suffer I guess... Any ideas /co/mrade?)

This is the furriest thing I've ever seen.

>>8192992
By this time, Charmeleon has been working with the others to wake up/gather the other Humans in the apartment building.

>>8193055
That goes through, then. Ultimately, as you come back downstairs with a few people behind you, the bishop turns back to you. "Are they prepared?"

>>8193129
Slight concern.

>>8193129
"We shall see, but this is hardly all of them. We must gather ALL the townspeople together, for this is a night to be remembered..."

Charemeleon looks to the Humans that have now gathered around her, having Courtney translate for her, "We have come to free you from Skarem's tyranny. Quickly, go out to the other apartments and wake all the other townspeople. We'll all meet back here."

>>8193210
The bishop raises a hand. "There's no need. My forces have already traveled to the other apartments, and are rousing the inhabitants."

>>8193247
"Then the stage is set. Let us see our audience..."
Charmeleon leads the others outside to gather with all the townspeople.

>>8193209
There are 4 lights.

>>8193298
You proceed to move out. As you do, the bishop speaks from behind you.
"May the Shadow King watch over you, Charmeleon."

>>8193404
*The Shadow King.... we shall have to meet one day. I need to look him in the eye and figure out what he's really up to. But for now, the time has come...*

Charmeleon exits the apartment building and examines her surroundings.

>>8193404
...Shadow King... I'm thinking Darkrai, though I'm not sure what use a Dark type would have for psychics... Possibly Giratina?

>>8193426
>>8193472
And on this note, I must go to eat for a while, I'm guessing 10-20 minutes.

>>8193426
You leave the building. Around you is a crowd of people who've come out of their apartments, milling around and talking to each other.

>>8194008
At this point, we stand side by side with Courtney and Stan - letting the former translate for us while the latter performs our intended actions. We announce to the townspeople that we have come to free them from Skarem and the False Team Magma. Tell them that their Pokemon have been rescued from destruction and returned to their homes. As we say this, Stan should take the Pokeballs from Bishop's followers and pass them out to their owners.

>>8194081
No complaints here.

>>8194081
The crowd is largely silent at this; eventually Sarah steps forward. "How will we fight them?"

>>8194131
"We will communicate with each other. We will organize ourselves. We will train each other. And when the time is right..." Charmeleon pounds one of her fists smartly into her other claw, "...we strike!"

>>8194169
(A bit confident aren't we? Though I'm not impressed with this False Team Magma... I'm pretty sure the only reason they got this far is the novelty of direct damage and Skarem on their side)

>>8194169
She nods, and a basically agreeable murmur runs through the crowd, although they're still definitely waiting on you.

>>8194227
"Return to your homes now, and reunite with your Pokemon companions. Let them know that soon, they and you will all be free from this tyrant. Tell no-one of what has happened here tonight, and go about your day like none of this has happened. If Skarem's forces find us before the time is right, it may cause unnecessary casualties..."

Charmeleon raises her claw to the air in an upward thrust before finishing, "THE ERA OF SKAREM ENDS NOW!"

>>8194276
Slowly, an admittedly quiet by necessity cheer raises from the crowd to match your motion; shortly afterwards, it begins to disperse.

>>8194368
Charmeleon steps down from wherever she was giving this speech, and proceeds to converse with the others. "This is it. This is where it all begins. There's no turning back now, so if any of you don't want a part in this - this is your chance to leave."

ITT: Crappy roleplay disguised as a quest

>>8194412
There's a general chorus of agreement when you turn back; as far as you can tell, no one feels like bowing out now.

>>8194500
We ask the Zubat we took with us to stay with Sarah and report back to us if anything happens - particularly keeping an eye out for any spies that might've been hiding in the crowd and could try to sneak away while we aren't looking... >_>

>>8194616
The Zubat nods, fluttering away to follow Sarah.

>>8194656
We proceed to return back to the abandoned factory, keeping our eyes/ears open for anyone that might've been watching the previous scene.

>>8194702
Traveling back, you don't see any other humans. You do, however, see another Zubat winging its way above your head.

>>8194616
(Why do you tell it to keep an eye on things when you know by now that Zubat has no eyes? Why?)
Magnemite is yet again surprised by the sheer power of Charmeleon's charisma.
"Charmeleon, I would say that we should make securing the generator our highest immediate priority, as it is probably where most if not all of the local Magma forces are located... Though we should allow time for the citizens to have their reunion with their pokemon, I would prefer a preemptive strike."

>>8194759
"I agree Magnemite. That's why I think our next step should be-"
Charmeleon spots >>8194750
"Magnemite, stop that Zubat!"

>>8194832
Magnemite swivels around towards the Zubat and flies towards it. As it flies, the magnets on its sides begin to spin, gathering electricity. It immediately attacks with a Thunder Wave thinking that it is probable the Zubat is an enemy, and even if it isn't, it is better to apologize than to let a security leak escape.

>>8194910
The Zubat, stunned, proceeds to come close to falling out of the sky; it manages to work itself into a glide, though.

>>8194949
Charmeleon rushes to where the Zubat seems to be gliding down.

>>8194964
You manage to catch, as it turns out, her in your claws.

>>8194982
Magnemite descends. "Now Charmeleon, lets not get hasty before we have proof of who this Zubat is working for."

>>8194982
>>8195005
Charmeleon attempts to wake the Zubat from its shock and question it.

>>8195018
What exactly are you asking?

>>8195040
"What were you doing out here? Where were you going?"

>>8195050
The Zubat replies irately. "You Magma forces will just have to guess."

>>8195094
"...My my. Deaf as well as blind now are we?"

>>8195094
Charmeleon uses Growl on the Zubat.
"SPEAK, you little winged rat! What do you mean by that!?"

>>8195201
Magnemite sighs and tilts, causing one of its magnets to lightly tap against Charmeleon.
"No. Bad. People are watching and this behavior negatively influences opinions."

>>8195232
"Then YOU get him to talk. We cannot risk a leak in our plans - not when we're so close."

>>8195275
"Very well."
Magnemite turns towards the captured Zubat.
"I must confess myself perplexed. My enraged companion holding you has been advocating rebellion against Skarem for the past several minutes at the top of her lungs. The townsfolk were cheering, something unlikely to occur at anything Magma has to say. While it is true that some members of the original Team Magma number in our entourage, Charmeleon did not mention this.
With that in mind, to put it simply, what is your -deal-?"

>>8195354
"I... didn't know you were meeting like that, I only encountered you here." She pauses. "You don't work for Team Magma, then?"

>>8195390
"We work for no-one. Our comrades include Courtney and Stan - members of what they claim to be the 'true' Team Magma, and enemies of Skarem and his evil reign over this land."

>>8195390
"Indeed I do not. Quite the opposite in fact. I apologize for attacking you and hope you were not harmed. Now, is your trainer nearby? Because even with these new allies any enemy of Magma is a friend of ours."

>>8195436
She pauses again. "I see... wait, are you the Charmeleon who was with Sarina?"

>>8195480
"Yes, I am. Have we met before?"

>>8195535
"Yes... or at least my team did. I, erm, belong to Team Aqua."

>>8195566
Charmeleon tries to recall meeting a Zubat amongst Team Aqua's ranks during her short visit, until she remembers the battle that happened after Porygon Z had framed them and forced her and Sarina to flee.

"You were one of the Zubats that attacked us while we tried to escape. What are you doing all the way out here?"

>>8195617
"We recently learned of the generator's explosion here; Archie thought it could be a good time for us to launch an attack."

>>8195644
"Are there more of Team Aqua's forces nearby? Perhaps we could finally patch up our misunderstanding from earlier and combine forces. Skarem is a mutual enemy all of us, after all."

>>8195644
"With recent events, it is in fact the -best- time to launch an attack."

>>8195692
"Several. Archie and a small task force are camped on Cycling Road; more forces could be brought up if necessary."

>>8195731
"How soon could you reach them?"

>>8195759
"Half an hour of continuous flight."

>>8195782
"You have recovered from the paralysis so soon? If not I am sure there are people here who are more than willing to give you medicine, as well as confirm our story if you still have doubts."

>>8195782
"Then come with us. We have a message for you to carry to him. Also...sorry about attacking you. I hope you'll understand - we can't let the Resistance be discovered by the wrong people before the time is right."

>>8195857
"Ah... if this is healed, that is."

>>8195871
"What message is it?"

o.o I got to sleep, I wake up, thread's still moving?

>>8195899
Charmeleon begins carrying the Zubat with them to the abandoned factory as she replies, "To put it simply; 'We are your allies, we're here to help. Work with us, and we shall all be victorious'."

>>8195954
The Zubat nods. "I see. I... trust you, even though I shouldn't, but I know that Archie had a strange feeling about Saturn saying that you'd attacked the Galactic computer."

>>8195981
"That was a trick devised by our nemesis - Porygon Z. He has the ability to manipulate and control electronic systems. It seemed he used such systems to trick Archie into believing we were his enemies - in order to keep us from uniting against him."

(still walking to the factory at this time.)

>>8196032
"Porygon-Z? Can you tell me more?"

>>8196041
"As far as I can determine, Porygon Z is a partially failed upgrade to Porygon 2, developed by Team Rocket. It is very powerful and intelligent, but it has no respect for any life sans its own and is highly paranoid. Its first act upon awakening was to murder the scientists responsible, its second gassing the facility."

>>8196041
"We will, Zubat - but now we don't have the time. I need you to go to Archie and relay this message: tell him that Sarina and I are here preparing a Resistance movement among the townspeople. Tell him we are his allies, and he must hold off his attack until we are organized and ready to combine our attacks together against the false Magma forces inside."

(have we made it to the factory by now?)

>>8196101
"It appears capable of controlling not only technological devices with a connection to cyberspace, but also the previous members of the Porygon line as well as for some reason my evolutionary stage, Magneton."

>>8196108
By this point, you have.

>>8195871
Tell them Sarina of the Nightfall has sabotaged Mauville's generator and has set up a resistance inside Mauville.
Tell them Skarem is alive.
Tell them that as soon as Skarem is dead and his black charizard has been pacified, Mauville will be liberated.
Tell them their first priority is to lure Skarem away from the generator and engage him near the river.
Tell them we will be there.
*Nods to rest of team*

>>8196177
Charmeleon takes out the map of the immediate area - the one including Mauville and the landmarks outside it (namely Courtney's secret base to the South, and the abandoned house to the North).

"Courtney, do you think you can redraw this map and include this building here (indicating the abandoned house to the North), as well as our current location?"

>>8196178
I figure Skarem is impulsive and impatient enough to actually move away from the generator and towards the river to attack us, even if Team Aqua has water pokemon there.

With any luck, we'll seperate Skarem from his charizard.

>>8196178
Glad to see you participating, but... We don't know who blew up the generator, there already was a resistance formed of the original Team Magma, Skarem is probably at Mt. Chimney, and I'm pretty sure Charizards, especially strong ones like Arillee aren't going to be stopped by a river.

>>8196177
Is Magma aware of Aqua's forces?
This is how I see our battle tactics.

#1: Get our allies near a body of water
#2: Get Skarem the hell away from the rest of the magma grunts, and towards that body of water.
#3: Kill Skarem, incapacitate his pokemon without killing them.
#4: Sneak the hell away with Skarem's head before anyone closes in on us
#5: Present Skarem's head to townsfolk
#6: Motherfuckin' revolution.

>>8196239
Separating Skarem and Arilee is the dream goal I admit.

>>8196291
Good thing nobody else knows who blew up the generator. ; )
Charizards mightn't be stopped by a river but they're good for stealth, they presumably increase the effectiveness of water pokemon, and they -can- be used to block a few attacks before drying up completely. All of these are good.

>>8196232
Courtney nods and proceeds to get on with the redrawing as the rest of you discuss things.

>>8196328
We have faced Skarem before... It wasn't nice.
The town is pretty much on our side, especially since they have their pokemon. Also, murder isn't looked upon kindly in these parts.

>>8196392
If it hasn't already, Magnemite tells this: >>8196101 , >>8196137 , to the zubat

>>8196467
"I'll tell Archie. Honestly, I don't think he'd be surprised."

Indeed. Skarem flew back to Mt. Chimney with Arilee, expecting us to be there apparently. That means Mauville is ripe for freeing. We kick out his goons, establish new defenses, and begin the true Resistance movement with Charmeleon's tail-flame as their rallying torch.

Let's see him try anything with a heavily-fortified town full of angry Rebels and walls of Pokemon-attack-proof walls/gates facing him down!

>>8196415
On the one hand, murder.
On the other hand, Skarem.

Hmmmm ...

We're accumulating a LOT of allies here. Something's probably going to cut the party size down ...

>>8196534
I think Skarem could actually take the party on without his pokemon. To use weeaboo terminology, he's pretty much Kenpachi as a pokemon trainer.

>>8196597
Then consider myself Ichigo.
Nothing's gonna beat me - I've got my RESOLVE!

>>8196550
Why would you think that just because we have the citizens of Mauvile, a group of enigmatic psychics, and Team Aqua on our side against a bunch of berserker morons that something bad it going to happen to even the odds? What a ridiculous and laughable notion!

>>8196634
You realize that that is -exactly- the attitude that got Ichigo getting beaten by Ulquiorra like a red-headed step child? And I do not think you will spontaneously turn into a shadow pokemon whenever you lose.

>>8196638
Don't forget, we have Courtney, Sarina, Stan, 2 grunts, Seviper, Sableye, Snover, you, and myself.

>>8196751
You think too much.
Enough thinking and talking, TIME FOR ACTION.

>>8196519
"Well if there's nothing else, you should report back before your teammates get worried. We are glad to offer an escort should you view it necessary."

>>8196862
"I don't think so... could you heal me first, though?"

>>8196894
"Of course."
Magnemite hovers over to Sarina.
"This zubat is working for Team Aqua... Due to a misunderstanding on my part she is currently paralyzed. Would you be willing to spare a paralyze heal or an appropriate berry so she can safely return?"

>>8196894
We ask the Humans to heal Zubat. As they do so, we roll up and tie the newly-drawn map before we present it to Zubat. "Tell Archie to head to the house to the North on that map. It's abandoned, so it should be easy enough to sneak there without being noticed. Tell him to start digging a tunnel as fast as he can to our present location. We'll meet up with him once he gets there. Good luck, comrade!"

>>8196932
Sarina, waking up, looks a bit surprised but nods, rummaging through her bag to grab a Parlyz Heal, using it.

>>8196961
"Thank you."

>>8196957
Zubat wiggles her wings as she's healed, then pauses. "I doubt we can loop around to the north, but I'll see if we have any Pokemon who can dig from his current location."

>>8197136
"Thank you, Zubat. Come back to us when you have Archie's reply, or a message from him to give back to us. Just be sure to come at night, when the guards won't spot you."

>>8197185
"Right." Zubat then flutters out the door again.

>>8197256
I think now would be a good time for the party to rest until the next day, and for the thread to end. Unless somebody else has something on their mind?

>>8197291
That sounds fine and good to me.

>>8197400
Alright then, thread is now archived.
See everyone again on Tuesday.

THE REVOLUTION BEGINS!

>>8197448
Sounds good.
