You come to and are immediately face to face with some kind of green, lizard-like creature.

“Yep, I’ve definitely never seen anything quite like you before. But, since you’re not clawing my face off I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.”

“W-where’d it go?”

“Huh, what’re you talkin’ about? Where’d what go?”

“That voice…”

The lizard gives you a funny look before letting out a little sigh.

“Must’ve gotten too close to ‘em. Tsk, alright listen up, we gotta get out of here. Now I can get you somewhere safe, but we need to hurry.”

“That, friend, is the rush.”

The lizard points behind you and you see it. It looks… A little like a soap bubble, but blown up to massive proportions. Its width extends beyond your sight and, is it coming closer?

“Huh, what is that…” you try to get up to get a better look, only to fall flat on your…snout? That’s right, you don’t have any limbs! How do you move in this body??

You hear a little cough, “Hey listen, I know your head’s probably all screwed up, but we REALLY need to get going. Like NOW.”

Since we're a pretty little spaghetti does that mean we're playing a high charisma build? We could definitely abuse the power of friendship is we so choose to do.

>>4066488
This is Pokémon, not D&D, we’re just a shiny it doesn’t mean anything. Besides, pretty much everyone ends up as our friend depending on which PMD game the QM is basing this off of.

>>4066491
>This is Pokemon, not D&D
Charisma transcends all boundaries. Besides, this quest could die within the first thread or fifty later, which ever it is, I'd like to have as fun as I can with it as it lives.
>Besides, pretty much everyone ends up as our friend depending on which PMD game the QM is basing this off of.
Excellent, we shall harness the power of goodwill and favors to rule the world!

>>4066496
>Charisma transcends all boundaries.
You’re trying to run a “Char build” in a system where there is no Char at all. Besides we’re only a shiny, that doesn’t mean anything. Only completionist dorks place those on a pedestal, for all we know a shiny could be the equivalent of an albino in the Pokémon world.
>Besides, this quest could die within the first thread or fifty later, which ever it is, I'd like to have as fun as I can with it as it lives.
If you don’t trust the QM to run past a singular thread, what fun could you possibly have? Most of the characters really come into play once you’re deeper into the game.

>>4066512
I don't mean to seem like an asshole. I've seen enough QMs struck with the curse and I simply wish to enjoy the time I may or may not have with this.

>>4066530
I’m not saying you’re an asshole, every Quest I’ve ever followed was dropped by a flaky QM at some point. What I’m saying is, you’re knocking over your own house of cards by trying to play the long game when you belive that flaking is imminent.

*Tsk*”Fine, I sure hope I can carry both of us back ‘fore we get—WHOA,” He pauses as he almost effortlessly hoists you over his shoulder, “You’re a lot lighter than you look!”

“Uh, thanks I guess,” you adjust your noodly body so you’re not just hanging off this lizard-guy’s shoulder. “So what exactly is that thing we’re running from?”

“The Glimmer? It’s, well, nobody really knows WHAT exactly it is, but I can tell you what it does. Corruption. Things go in and then come out…different,” An edge creeps into his voice with that last word as he looks back at ‘The Glimmer’ with a dark expression.

The atmosphere gets a little tense as the two of you trudge away from the alien phenomena. Just as you’re about to say something to lighten the mood a little, the lizard speaks up, ”I’ve got a question for you now. Just what exactly are you?”

I went with this one because the other guy's reaction is going to be great.

So what do you suppose The Glimmer is? By it's description it sounds like something H.P. Lovecraft might write, although it hasn't been fully clarified so it might be tamer than expected. It might be caused a legendary or mythical pokemon? Ultrabeast maybe.

Well given that we "died" as a human and have been "reincarnated" as a pokemon after talking to an unknown being my money is on it being some higher dimensional beings' effect on the "real" world. I am also pretty sure the Glimmer spit us out.

“I’m, well, I’m a human, or WAS a human, but now I think I’m a Druh-TEENY, and I think I just talked to god or maybe it was the devil and I have no idea why…I don’t…” you weakly trail off as your lizard friend just stares at you blankly.

He lets out another little sigh and places his hand on what he probably estimates is approximate to your shoulder, “Listen, it’s gonna be alright, ok? It’s gonna be alright. You’ve clearly tangled with something that’s left you in a bad way, but we deal with cases like yours often back where I come from,”

You get the feeling he’s not entirely telling the truth about encountering your specific situation, but his attempt at consolation does at least seem genuine.

“So, anyways, let’s start over, shall we? You can call me Gibosh, or Gib if you wanna keep it short. I’m a tracker and forager for the Tickseed Clearing survivors. What can I call you?

We aren't seven feet though, we're wrapped around a Treecko (the most based Pokemon imo)'s neck. Now if we want to catch him off-guard we'd attempt to seduce, the most memeworthy choice par none and guaranteed to defuse the situation and give him pause.

"Listen here, mutt. If you shut up, turn around, and walk away I might just forget about this. If you don't, then I wrap around your neck and crush it, and then… and then I’ll EAT YOU!” you say with as much menace as you can muster. To your credit the little mutt actually seems a bit taken aback by this display, however he quickly collects himself and then focuses on you intently with hunger in his eyes.

“Kehe you’ve got more backbone then I thought! I’ll just have to tear it out of—” he stops and stares intently at you. Suddenly his expression goes from jeering bloodlust to abject horror.

“St-st-stay away from me freak!” He’s actually starting to tremble now.

“Aww whatsamatter? Ya scared, ya little fleabag?” You say, as you start extending your body closer to the shaking pooch, intending to make good on your threat.

He reels back in terror, “YIP YIP YIP,” he cries, rushing off in a flash with his tail between his legs.

“Yeah how do you like THAT?! Go on, get outta here!” And so he does.

Right into in the Glimmer.

>I'd say make the update post look more appealing, but I myself don't know how so take that as a grain of salt.
I am very excited to see what's next so I hope you stick around. Remember, Anons will follow if you give them something worth following.

>>4067208
>>Look into other dice systems for improvement. A lot of anons don't like Crit fails, and would rather have neither Crit Success than Crit Failures.

I strongly disagree with this statement.

>>4067218
It's what I've seen in other quests. There's always an argument about the dice system, while I myself don't care, other's might.

“Well, guess he’ll think twice before messing with my neck scarf again, huh?” says Gib with chuckle.

“What the heck was that? I thought you said entering the Glimmer meant death?”

“It usually does, but his kind seem to not be bothered by it much. It’s… actually become quite the problem as of late.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well— ah here we are,” he says as the foliage breaks, “Good ol’ Tickseed.”

He makes a motion with his hand as you take stock of your surroundings. The landscape is dotted with several primitive-looking dwellings where all manner of bizarre creatures seem to be milling about. Birds, bugs, several creatures you can’t quite place, all interacting together like all of this is a matter of course. Surreal doesn’t even begin to describe it; even the air itself seems to carry an odd charge. You can feel a mild headache coming on.

“Time to take you to the chief and then get you patched up I guess,” says Gib

>”What is this? What are all of you?”
>”Patched up, do you think I’m hurt?”
>“Tell me more about the Glimmer first”

sorry bro but we already picked the amnesia route.

>>4068962
Sorry bro, but we can still pick a name.
Guy MacCool will rise again!

First, that is still a shit tier meme name and second, we are a girl.

Cerulia is a much better name credit to this anon >>4066851

>>4068987
>Shit Tier Meme Name
Guy MacCool is not a meme. It's awesome name that you make a joke about.
>Second we're a girl
And your point is?

>>4069001
Putting aside the fact that it is a shit tier meme name, its also a guy name, not a girl's name. Again Cerulia is a much better name.

I am not unreasonable what if we compromise with Cerulia MacCool as the PC's name.

>>4069017

Finally you're beginning to understand the power of awesome names.

>”What is this? What are all of you?”

This is it. First a lizard, then a dog, then an ENTIRE VILLAGE of walking, TALKING animal people. AND, to top it ALL OFF, you’re one yourself! One without LIMBS even! You’ve clearly gone insane. Clearly.

“Hey, uh, you ok there?” Gib asks.

“…haha.”

“Uh…”

“…what is going on.”

“Uh, well we’re back at the settlement now, and we should be—"

“WHAT are you, Gib?” you say, pointing your tail at him for emphasis. “What am I?? What are ALL OF THOSE OVER THERE???”

“Uh…people?” he offers weakly.

“PEOPLE!?” You almost shout.

“Yes! People, we’re people!” he states in an almost indignant tone, “What is the matter with you?”

He doesn’t get it. Heck, YOU don’t get it.

“This… doesn’t make any sense to me. I’m not supposed to be like… this” you say looking down at your body.

Gib tilts his head and gives you a worried look before his eyes go wide.

“Hey, didn’t you say you were a HUGH-min before? And now you’re a Dratinny?

“Druh-TEENY.”

“Right. Well, you must’ve evolved in the Glimmer then.”

“What?”

“Yeah, things are starting to make sense now. Can’t imagine the kind of horror evolution would cause to someone in the Glimmer. Must’ve been too much for you.” He says sadly.

>He clearly doesn’t get it. Maybe it’s best just to drop it
>”Evolution. What?”
>”No, I was a HUMAN. I had arms and legs!”
>Maybe he’s right, maybe you’ve always been in this world and just… forgot

And just like that, you’ve gone nuclear.

A world of HELL bubbles and talking ANIMALS??”

Gib just looks dumbfounded as you scream this at him, then he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

“I think I’m gonna take you to the healer now,” he says, more to himself than you.

“ANSWER ME. WHAT. IS. HAPPENI—

“I DON’T KNOW!” he shouts, before pausing a moment to collect himself.

“I don’t know, alright? I’m trying to help as much as possible, but you’re asking things I just do not know how to answer,” he lets out a little sigh again.

“That’s why I wanted to take you to the chief. Figured he could answer your questions better than I could, but now I’m thinking you need to see a healer first.”

>”I’m fine, take me to your chief”

Right, you remind yourself. Let’s try not to chase off the only friend you’ve made so far in this crazy world.

“Look, Gib, I apologize. I haven’t forgotten what you’ve done for me, it’s just… this is a lot to take in and I have no idea how to process it all.”

“I get it. Don’t worry about it, it’s fine,” he gives you a little smile, “Everything’s gonna be alright.”

“But how? I mean, do you really think your healer is going to be able to help me?”

“Like I said before. Don’t know. But we gotta start somewhere,” he motions forward with his head, “C’mon, let’s get you patched up.”

Still draped around his neck, Gib takes the both of you into the village. As he leads the way, you notice several of the creatures stop what they’re doing and stare as the both of you pass by.

“Hey, Gib. I feel like we’re attracting a lot of attention.”

“And we’re here,” he says as the two of you enter a hut with a red cross painted on the roof.

Inside you’re greeted by a small, alien looking creature with what looks like a blue bowl cut and horns.

“B-big sis is helping with the barrier, but maybe I can—OH,” the little thing lets out a gasp, “A gl-gleamer?”

>”Hi, you the healer? Fix me please.”

>>”Gleamer?”
>>”What’s this about a barrier?”
“Gleamer? What’s that?” you ask.

“You don’t know? But… you ARE one!”

“Amnesia case, Io. This one doesn’t even know her name.” says Gib.

“O-oh, that’s really...unfortunate,” Io outstretches her arms and does a little bow, “May Acuity be with you.”

“Uh, thanks. So… what’s a gleamer?”

“Oh, sorry, sorry. A gleamer is… well, one who gleams,” as she says this, she tilts her head to the side so it catches the light coming from the entrance. Then you see it. A soft sheen, sparkling just like your scales, appears on her hair. It kinda looks like how light scatters when refracted by a… bubble.

“Gleamers are often the subject of a lot of… rumors” Io says sadly, “most of them bad.”

“So that’s why I was getting stared at!”

“S’also probably how you put the fear of god in that mutt earlier, too,” chimes in Gib.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner!?”

“I was going to, I just thought it would be a little much to drop that on you on top of everything else.”

“Ugh, great. Let me guess. We’re to blame for the Glimmer, right?”

“Some people think that, but most just regard us as ill omens. Still, it can lead to a lot of… prejudice,” answers Io.

“Wonderful. Anyway, I had another question. What’s this about a barrier?”

[Con’t]

Might have to take a break for a bit. Won’t be gone long. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

“The Barrier is what protects us from the Glimmer. Anyone with strong enough mystic abilities is called upon to lend their aid in conjuring the Barrier. I’m too weak to be of much use there, but I can still be of service as a back-up healer,” Io says. It’s the first time she’s said anything with even a mote of pride.

“So, this barrier repels the Glimmer?”

“Correct. It’s the only thing keeping us from being ravaged by its terror.”

“Huh… wait, mystic abilities?”

“Yes, my kind and several others possess the ability to project the energies of our hearts and minds onto the physical plane.”

“Yep, y’all’re a regular bunch of freakshows,” says Gib with a grin.

“I-I uh—”

“I’m joking, Io.”

>>4070820
“Ok, well, anything else weird I should be clued in on?” you ask.

“Hmm… well, there are those who possess some immunity to both the Barrier and the Glimmer,” answers Io.

“Yeah, I remember. There was a dog earlier I scared off right into the Glimmer. How’s that work?”

“The poochyena, yes. They’ve always been unaffected by mental assaults. They’re proof that the Glimmer is at least in part a form of psychic phenomena. However, we know there are areas within the Glimmer even they cannot reach.”

“Interesting, hey do you think I could learn how to do some of those mental tricks?”

“W-what?”

“You heard me, I wanna be psychic!”

“Well I, I guess I could—”

“Alright!” You unfurl from Gib in a flash and wrap yourself around Io’s waist

“Hii—” she squeaks

“Psychic powers!”

“So, when does something happen? I don’t feel anythi—OOOAAHHMM.” A strange, purple aura begins to radiate from your coiled form as Io chants something in an indiscernible language.

No, chant isn’t the right word. You don’t hear, so much as feel her words. All at once your vision clouds over leaving you fumbling in the metaphysical dark. You begin concentrating on the only thing available: her chanting. Just as you’re about to give up making any sense of it, something clicks. “***********ND SO OUR HEARTS MAY BE ENTWINED.” You open your eyes.

“Ugh, one more time, Io.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Your thoughtform needs to be tangible, uniform. No distractions now. Give it your all.”

“Y-yes.”

Are you… seeing things through Io’s eyes? Is this… a memory of hers?

“Io! You’re not paying attention. Do it again!

“Yes sister!”

Seems like she’s being shown how to do something by this… ballerina creature.

“I’ll demonstrate one more time,” the ballerina says before closing her eyes and conjuring a translucent, shimmering wall. “Do you understand how I did that?”

“Yes, sister,” Io lies.

You however realize the problem quite easily. Her… energy for lack of a better word, is going completely haywire. She wants so badly to impress her sister that it’s interfering with her ability to keep a stable shield.

“Just breathe, relax…” you say

You feel Io’s nerves begin to calm.

“Focus, keep it steady…” you hear the both of you say.

Suddenly a pale, shaky, but nonetheless tangible wall of psychic energy appears before you.

You open your eyes. You are no longer Io, instead she’s looking up at you, orange eyes wide with shock.

You hear a low whistle. “Huh, how ‘bout that. You’re a freak, too.”

[REFLECT] acquired.

You examine the wall of energy floating in front of you and Io.

“Is… this a barrier?”

“K-kind of. It’s called Reflect. It can be used to protect yourself from physical damage or attacks,” answers Io.

“Huh…”

The shimmering shield begins to fade away, taking along with it some of your stamina.

“Uuugh, I’m feeling… kinda tired.” You say with a yawn

“Yeah, why don’t we do the thing we came here for in the first place? Io, if you would?” says Gib.

“Oh yes, yes. Of course! *ahem* HEAL PULSE!” Io, still curled up in your serpentine body, raises her arms as waves of pink and yellow energy radiate from her form.

You immediately feel… completely recharged!

“Wow, I feel great!” you say as you unwrap yourself from her body, “thanks!”

“Heh-heh, that’s what I’m here!” she says with a slight blush.

You wait for the purple aura to appear again when FWOOSH—

A roaring fire of pink and yellow envelops the two of you. You hear that mental chanting again, but this time… “ACUITY IN MIND, LET OUT HEARTS BE ENTWINED.”

You open your eyes.

Before you is Io, bathed in a pink aura. She’s the only thing visible in this dark, featureless mindscape. Her expression is one of shock.

“I can’t believe— I’ve never been able to converse with someone in the mindscape before!”

“I really wanted those healing powers,” you say with a smile, “And maybe you’re a better psychic than you think.”

“Ha, maybe…” she says sheepishly.

She takes a look around, “Since we’re able to share a mindscape like this, it should be trivial for you to learn from me. Here.”

A swirling, pink sphere of pure energy emerges from Io’s core and floats into your own.

“That is the ability ‘Heal Pulse’. It allows you to soothe the aches and pains of those close to you. Please use it as you see fit.” As she says the mindscape erupts in blinding, pink and yellow light.

You open your eyes.

You’re back in the little hut, Io is beaming at you.

“Gleamer pride!” she says

“Gleamer pride,” you reply.

“Thanks Io, you’ve been a tremendous help, you have no idea,” you say.

“Heh-heh,” she lets out a little giggle and hides her face in her hands.

“Do you think it’s at all possible to use the mindscape to help me regain my memories?” you ask.

She looks back up at you with a slightly solemn look on her face, “The mindscape is usually reserved for conversing in present time. Delving into your memories could have disastrous consequences for the both of us.”

“I see, well it was worth a shot I guess…”

“Still, I did notice something interesting while our minds were linked,” she thinks aloud.

“Oh?”

“Your aura, the mental manifestation of your body’s energy, it was shaped rather strangely. It didn’t match your physical body at all, in fact it looked far more suited to a bipedal form.”

“WHAT?”

“Yes, I thought it was strange as well…” she looks down in thought.

“I KNEW IT.”

“H-huh?”

“SEE GIB? I told you I’m not supposed to look like this!”

“Alright, I’m convinced,” he says calmly, “you’re definitely an odd one, I’ll give you that. Anyways, we should probably get going. The chief is gonna be beside himself when he learns we got another healer. Io, always a pleasure.”

“Oh, n-no the pleasure was all mine,” she stammers out, “please come back anytime. Both of you!”

You give her a smile as you wrap yourself around Gib again, “Take care, Io.”
--------------------------------------------------------------
As the two of you head out of the medical hut and into town, you give Gib the smuggest look you can muster, “look, I’m a healer now, no big deal or anything. Hahaha!”

“So I see, the question is: can you move on your own without falling flat on your face?”

You unspool from Gib with surprising speed.
“Of course I can! WATCH TH—*plop*.”

“Heh, think you can heal that bruise to the ego there, O powerful psychic?”

“SHTUMP UMPF.”

Need some time to think up new scenarios. I didn’t think you’d get healing powers, so that…complicates things. Anways, I’m still gonna be around so if you want to ask me things or give critiques or whatever I’d be more than happy to hear them. Thanks for reading!

There's almost NOTHING happening but I find it fun as fuck. The MC has the atention span of a pigeon, the ego of a dragon and the carisma of a peacock, in short a Drat-eeny. I really don't know, but in my opinion this is one of the best quest in the board right now.

A lighthearted and somewhat comical story, and we haven't left the starting area, WTF. I'm confundled, HOW?

Pokamang I am loving the story and the concept. I don't think I've seen a quest with a similar idea on /qst/ before. When I figured out that the MC was a 'real' world human and not a 'pokeverse' human it blew my mind. I can't wait to see how the MD pokemon and our MC interact. I hope to see you back again soon.

Ok that does it! You are a psychi—no… a MASTER OF THE ESTOERIC ARTS! YOU. WILL. LEARN how to maneuver this ungainly form. You pull your head out of the dirt and stare at the path ahead with fire in your eyes.

“Let’s do this,” you say with a glare.
