    Last time on Charmander Quest, you discovered a Team Aqua Zubat fluttering through Mauville City, sending her back with the news that the city is nearly ready for an Aqua attack.
    What do?

    We proceed to rest for the remainder of the night - we've got a lot to do in the morning.

    This endeavor is successful and nothing of importance happens overnight, with one exception. As you dream, you receive brief flashes of what you may remember as being Porygon-Z's mind; you could choose to look more closely into that or not.

    As you scoot closer into Z's mind, you begin to hear echoes of its thoughts:
    *Their deaths will come soon. Soon soon soon... I am--yes. I am myself, I am perfect--GAH!* A brief spasm of distortion passes through the image of Z's body. *You are nothing, nothing! You are a shadow of me, useless! Glue that binds me! Your horrible little vestige holds no importance--* Z squawks again, another shiver of distortion running through it. *You are not me, you never will be! Stop SCREAMING!*

    Magnemite, having explained itself, turns toward Charmeleon.

We've had more success sneaking around than they have, and besides - Gabite can only dig tunnels big enough for us when it comes time to move somewhere.

The day wears on, but there's still no sign of the others; not until several hours later, when a haggard-looking Courtney comes into the room, followed by Sarina, Blaise, and a bunch of the townsfolk, Sarah being one of them. Courtney is greeted enthusiastically by several of the Magmas in the room, but she pays them no mind just yet; instead, she comes up to you, a grim expression on her face, and begins speaking. "Skarem's here. He's here and I think he knows what we're up to; when Sarina went to talk with the townspeople, she says that Ari caught a glimpse of them. Either way, she had to hide inside the apartments; Skarem left, but he came back, and he had reinforcements. I didn't see how many, but it's a lot, especially since he went back to the generator and pulled almost all of the guards there off-duty. The whole bunch of them came back to the center of the city, and Skarem's flying a patrol route around them."

    "Well I AM pretty bored... But don't you think I'll be doing this for free hon..."
    (Side note, where do you want Sableye to go exactly?)

    Suddenly, Charmeleon remembers the times that Magnemite used its magnets to carry metal sheets.
    "Sableye, see if you can sneak us some scrap metal - I have an idea."

    (Also, can someone post Sableye's moveset? because I'm wondering what Knock Off can do if used against a human)

    Sableye (LVL 28)
    Night Shade
    Fake Out
    Detect
    Shadow Sneak

    And yes, Knock Off can be used on humans. Sableye used it a few days ago to knock some Pokeballs off of two of Skarem's guards.

    Scratch, Leer, Foresight, Night Shade, Astonish, Fury Swipes, Fake Out, Detect, Shadow Sneak, Knock Off. And at your level, attacking a human could probably cause serious injury at the least.

    Although if you aim at the items, you will indeed be fine.

    I'm assuming Detect is kind of like Spider-Sense... But can Foresight be used for anything other than ghost punching?

    Basically it lets you pierce through any illusions or things blocking your vision. It's not an instant perfect aim like Lock-On, though.
    >> Sableye 02/24/10(Wed)01:18 No.8254526
    >>8254488
    Well, I guess there's nothing left to do but for Sableye to stick closest to the buildings and shadow sneak over to whichever guard is both nearby and relatively isolated.

    Actually, this has gone on rather longer than I'd anticipated, and I can't really keep myself awake any longer. However, I have everything else prepared, and we can do another quest tomorrow if I have the tiem.

    (What about the scrap metal for Magnemite?)

    Alright then, see you on Thursday!
    >> Sableye 02/24/10(Wed)01:20 No.8254563

    tomorrow isn't good for me actually. ...not that Thursday is really much better, but still...
    >> Charming Spell !K6Y3jvHRYk 02/24/10(Wed)01:22 No.8254586
    >>8254563
    We can leave off until Thursday, if you prefer.

    That would work thanks. And congratulations to Snover for participating!
    >> Charming Spell !K6Y3jvHRYk 02/24/10(Wed)01:24 No.8254618

    Indeed. Welcome to the team, Snover, and good night, all.
