W-wuh... Where am I? Last I remember I was put into a medically induced coma to help with severe benzo addiction. Where... am I?

And why are my arms stubby and yellow?

AM I A PIKACHU?!

Don't worry Mr. Peterson, we don't have any pronouns here.

Wigglytuff has been spotted by Maroon absconding from the guildmster's office with a papercraft Cherrim head. He retreats impossibly fast in the direction of treasure town, just what is he planning?

Wigglytuff rushes into the heart of Treasure Town with his ball, before diving into Electivire's link shop, in full view of any who many be following. It's densely packed with pokemon from all fashions of exploration teams, guild members, and shops! Looks like almost the whole town's here, even! Those who aren't preoccupied Brighten up significantly upon seeing your entry and greet you. Tables lined will all kinds of handmade Spinda drinks and apple based snacks of all varieties have been set up, what haven't been ruined by the copious amounts of confetti being flung by Team Bluster.

There's...
>Big Apple
>Gummi'd Apple
>Mineral Apple
>Applin
>Apple Tea

to choose from. Also, looks like a great many pokemon are available to chat with.
You hear the Kecleon Brothers asking around for Ymir and Castform, and Wigglytuff whispering behind the counter about Mistral.
What do?

>>5297390
"Now this is my kinda party!"
>Big Apple
*He takes a big apple to munch on*
"What's this about the Keckleons wanting to see me?"
*He tries to find the brothers*

Maroon bounds over to the food table and starts serving himself a huge cup of Appple Tea. "Hey, Mistral! Could you make some ice cubes for everyone?" He shouts.

Mistral walks over to Wigglytuff, listening to his whispering. He nods quietly.

"A second, if you could," Mistral says, looking at Wigglytuff. "Does anyone have any water for me to freeze? We can crush the ice or have it cut up to fit."

"SABLE!! Share some with other peop-pokemon!"

The Gummi'd Apples seem to have several different varieties of gummi melted over them. It's sweet enough to give one diabetes... assuming pokemon could be so afflicted.

The mineral apples... You can't tell if they've been intentionally prepared or if they're regular apples someone dropped on the ground. Either way, they're as rocky as one could want from an... apple.

>>5297404
"Hiya! Please don't eat me! I just got here!"

>>5297406
This tea can only be about 50% sugar. It may as well be juice. Who mixed this?

The Kecleon bros appear before Ymir and bow. "We are eternally humbled by your generousity and empathy, kind patron. With your donations, we can restore our beautiful coffers in a mere seven days! All these worthless plain seeds you brought aren't nearly thanks enough, so..."
Kecleon Jr. reaches into a comically large sack of 10,000 plain seeds both of them are pulling to fish out a glowing spiral seed. "Your purchase, plus a complimentary import from the Air Continent! Don't spend it all at once~"

>>5297424
Vee sips it. "MMMmm!" He continues drinking it. He slams it in one go. "I want another!" Vee gets a refill of apple tea.

"It's not bad." Olly munches on the treat as he observes Sable acting like a goblin.

Wigglytuff hops up from behind the counter with a "TAAAAHHH!!~", as if anyone couldn't tell he was already there. "Surprise, Mister...... Mistral! It's a party!! We should hang out and share snacks!" Chatot approaches from the other direction and coughs. Tuff continues, "Haha, after we get this sorted out! It's a human tradition, I hear!" He holds up the paper mache Cherrim head. "You break the ball and all kinds of neat treasure goes flying everywhere!"

>>5297431
Scav spots a Weavile leaning by Xatu's Appraisal, pointedly ignoring an arbok and Drapion's profuse apologies.

Astor bites in, realizing belatedly it's a Grimy Food. He is silenced for a bit.

*Cava approaches AWD at a moderate pace. He is just now realizing that casually going up to a dude and asking for a claw/fang/whatever is terribly awkward.

>>5297443
Maroon's head snaps towards the two of them and he barks, "you have a pinata? Woo!"
Maroon is howling with excitement.

>>5297443
"Beating a proxy of someone's head for rewards is tradition? That's messed up." Olly mutters to Charles. He looks up at the massive 'mon as he finishes the apple.
"Mind giving me a ride around? I feel like I'm going to get stepped on here."

>>5297442
It sure is! The Kecleon Bros are equally moved by your own mercy, and grant you a smaller bag with 800 plain seeds and an encourage seed.

>>5297436
"Right? I can't wait to evolve. Then I might be strong enough to fly, and nobody will try to eat me! It'll be great!... But all my friends say appletun can't fly, no matter what..."

Vee practically teleports over to Charles and Olly. "Hi! What're we doing over here?"

"I got juice!" Vee downs his apple tea and goes to get some more. He's at the table repeatedly ringing a bell that wasn't he isn't sure was there before.

He gets tired of waiting and gets more himself, returning to Charles and Olly. "It's the best!"

>>5297470
"Is that so? And here I thought Tea would be bitter. Think I'll try some."
>Charles moves over and graps a cup of apple Tea for himself and Olly

Drapion and Arbok are lying prone on the ground, muttering at supersonic speeds while Weavile sharpens a few claws.
"W-we're deeply sorry! They merely got the drop on us! Given a single extra turn, we will have our revenge!"
"We sssshall accept any punissssshment you deem appropriate until our next chanccce to prove ourselvessss."

Wigglytuff walks to the center of the town square, and flicks the ball straight up into the sky, absurdly high. Meanwhile, Mistral's blizzard freezes a flying grimy food to Chatot's wing.
"I should have kept to the setup and went home...awk!"

>>5297471
"It's sweet! It's like Pechas and apples if they were one thing and also juice!"

"Hey, are ya bunch the famed Team AWD I've heard about?"

The water is frozen into a tub of ice. Maroon promptly shatters it against the ground and moves the chunks in the bucket to his own cup.
"Thanks, Mistral!" He barks happily before taking a long swig of his cool drink.
"Fruity."

Despite the complete lack of any mechanism to do such a thing on command, Wigglytuff stomps on the ground with a "Yoom-TAHHH!~", and two flashes of light later, them Cherrim pinata is torn apart in a violent explosion, sending familiar glittering seeds in every direction all over town. Looks like Bind set this up privately with Wigglytuff. It's mostly sparkling dough seeds picked up by the townsfolk, but within the guild's reach are...

Weavile doesn't bother opening her eyes to chip a piece of wood off the store to flick at Arbok and quiet him.

Still peeved at being too slow to snag any seeds for himself, Maroon finds a secluded spot away from the festivities and starts setting up. He pulls some strange seed from his mane and tosses them on the ground. They wiggle into the earth and quickly sprout to set Grassy Terrain.

"Might as well do something productive with all this upset. . ." he murmurs as he sets it to Harsh Sunlight with an Infernal Firework.

"Perfect."

>Maroon uses Solar Beam to put on a show!

Weavile isn't put off by your bluntness. Not completely, at least. "A fang's a tall order, for that, buster. I need this lout to settle some personal business, you see? What would I get out of it by giving my precious weapons out to a stranger, huh?"

Vee's packed with sugar! He's got enough speed to make QPU steps!

Wigglytuff is making his way back to Mistral and a struggling Chatot rolling over himself when he's lauched into the air by a giant golden wheel erupting from the ground. Victini climbs out from under before bursting into flames along with a few spouts from the wheel.

Maroon takes another swig of his drink before collecting the light around him, using the grass underneath him as a sort of net for the sunlight the space around him dims unnaturally before he fires yet another pillar of dazzling light into the sky.

Maroon's lightshow mesmerizes all the onlookers, cutting shapes into clouds and spreading a refreshing late spring breeze through the growing grass.

Victini cheers Maroon on by flicking him a free red ticket.
"Parties! Bars! Funerals! The wondrous V-Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeel can spice up any gathering! Wanna spin? I've got a discount on tickets!

Chatot is rolling in circles trying to get the ice and grime out of his wing.

A very tired and overheated glaceon with with a Victini pin collects the items for Victini and leaves in the direction of Spinda cafe after passing out tickets.

"V-Wheel. V-Wheel! V-Wheeeeeeeeeeeeel!" Victini throws his hands down on the contraption as it spins, and it lets out a burst of flame, as Wigglytuff jumps up for a celebratory fist pump to the air before continuing his spin.

As you enjoy the festivities, you can't help but look up at the sky with all the art that Maroon managed to carve. It's admittedly not that bad for someone using a giant sun laser to shape the clouds.

You blink.

There's something up there that isn't a cloud. You're not entirely sure, unless it might just be passing flying-types.

"What's that up there..."

"Oh? None of us use ranged attacks, so that Gardevoir is a problem... "And those nuisances like to catch seeds and thorns, too... heeeey, I like the look of this!" In the blink of an eye, Drapion gasps and buries his head in the ground, while Weavile has already balanced a fang on one of your lances. "Pleasure doing business with you... And keep in touch. I may have more use for you if this pans out!" She smiles and returns to loitering in the sun.

"You know, I don't think I ever see you go out for anything other than dung-hmm?"

"Woah hold on buddy I got ya!"

You watch Mewtwo close the distance in rapid, near-supersonic flight. In seconds, you see him rapidly decelerate and transition to a vertical position.

Quietly floating down, he touches the ground without much fanfare. A small pomf of dirt and dust rushes around his legs.

He looks to the gathered pokemon, scanning them. Perhaps some partygoers find themselves stunned and others without a care in the world. Robotically, he waves to Kaku, Sableye, and Vee.

GREETINGS. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.

"Nevermind. I thought I heard a plane or something, but... that doesn't make any sense."

"...Oh."

"Why're you here?"

>>5297680
Hello, how have you been?

>>5297680
"Huh? Oh. . . Uh. . . Hi." Maroon mumbles, struggling to remember who this weird cat was.

>>5297680
"Sorry, I already drank all of my Most Definitely Medicinal Substance I Am Not Abusing For Recreational Purposes."

>>5297680
"That it has! You feeling better now? You arrive at a great time."

>>5297675
"I thought it was our big cat friend, didn't get a good look before Charles tipped over...I think it was that weird seed he was got."
*With Charles seemingly secure Ymir goes to greet Mewtwo*
"Been a while mate, glad to see ya!"

Rolled 4 (1d20)

>>5297680
"Hey... what was your name? Anyways, by any chance do you know what is this?"
Astor offers Mewtwo a doom seed

>>5297680
"It has! It's nice to see you again! How's it going?"

>>5297680
"Fascinating. Didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. Living relic of the old world."

Bind yips and steps behind Poli for a second, before uncurling and shakily approaching. "H-hey! ...Long flight?" he offers an apple tea with a strainingly fully extended arm.

>>5297695
Vee looks at the apple tea and has to stop himself from drinking it.

>>5297695
Poli doesn't react to this at all, besides continuing to sip his cup of unholy beverage, immediately proving his previous statement wrong.

>>5297685
Mewtwo looks to Castform, reading his thoughts for the gesture. He returns the attempted wave.

>>5297686
He turns to Citrine, staring for a moment. DO YOU DISLIKE MY PRESENCE? I HAD SOMETHING TO ASK OF ALL OF YOU.

>>5297687
Mewtwo is about to respond to Sableye but remembers a detail. "...I am in an acceptable state." His voice sounds very weak, almost lost to a whisper.

>>5297688
He does another robotic wave. GREETINGS.

>>5297689
I HAVE HEARD OF SUCH THINGS FROM THE... HUMANS. He clenches a hand. IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU. THAT IS ALL I CAN SAY.

>>5297690
IT HAS IMPROVED SINCE WE LAST SAW EACH OTHER.

>>5297691
I APPRECIATE YOUR ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING. THANK YOU.

>>5297692
MY NAME? I HAVE ALWAYS REFERRED TO MYSELF AS M-TWO. I THINK IT IS A GOOD NAME. THEY CALLED IT VERY UNIQUE.
He looks to the doom seed that Astor is offering.
I AM UNCERTAIN BUT IT DOES NOT PROVIDE A REASSURING AURA. I SUGGEST YOU DISCARD OF IT.

>>5297693
IT IS NICE TO SEE YOU TWO, SMALL EEVEE. He smiles.

>>5297694
Mewtwo turns to Pika. THAT IS CORRECT. I PREFER GUARDIAN. IT IS A KINDER TITLE.

>>5297695
He notices Bind offering the drink. YES. THE FLIGHT WAS LONG. IT WAS NOT AS EASY TO TRACK ALL OF YOU AS I NAVIGATED THE UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY.

Mewtwo walks over and accepts the food, taking a cursory sip. Not revolted by it, he continues to drink as he talks.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR APPREHENSION. I BEAR NO MORE HOSTILITIES.

Rolled 9 (1d20)

>>5297709
Instead of replying, Poli just uses Hydro Pump to dilute his drink to drink even more of it, staring directly at Mewtwo while he does so.

>>5297709
"At least you know where we are now! You're always welcome to come say hi!"

Rolled 2 (1d20)

>>5297709
"It's just a little weird, is all. I'm surprised you came out all this way."

>>5297709
"Well, whatever you need, ask away! You'll see there's plenty of hospitality around here."

>>5297709
>Sable matches his tone
I'll be here for you, whenever you need.

>>5297709
Maroon decides despite his confusion and losses today not to be an anti-social loser and try to be friendly with the Mewtwo.
"What brings you all the way here?" He asks.

>>5297709
"I-I am certain, Mewtwo. I j-just struggle in such strong presences, I am trying to get over it... I am certain all-" He glances at Team AWD and Skull brooding in obscure corners, "most everyone here would love to get to k-know you?"

>>5297719
>>5297722
>>5297727
Mewtwo looks around at the party, watching all the pokemon enjoy themselves with the apple food and small events. Some gaze at him briefly but quickly look away under his gaze. I RECALL WHAT YOU WERE ALL DOING. NOW THAT I AM WITHOUT... ANYTHING TO DO... I ASK TO BE INDUCTED INTO YOUR ORGANIZATION.

His tail waves around. IT IS IN FAMILIARITY THAT I FIND MYSELF WANTING. I FAILED MY ORIGINAL PURPOSE BUT I DECIDED THAT THIS WOULD BE A SECOND CHANCE. WE ARE CHILDREN OF HUMANITY.

I BELIEVE WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER.

>>5297730
>Mewtwo's Pressure!
Eyes falling on the party again, he realizes that in his solitary vigilance, he has been missing out on something. While his expression is guarded, [Perception Roll], you think you can try to make something out.
I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT. MOST DO NOT SEEM EAGER TO SEEK ME OUT JUST YET.

WITH MY FREEDOM, I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHERE I COULD NOT BEFORE.

Mewtwo gives a bow. He turns his body to look at the open sky.

THANK YOU. I WILL APPLY MY EXPERTISE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT. THIS WILL NOT BE A REGRETFUL DECISION.

>>5297740
>>5297746
Looking at Mewtwo is not easy. There's just an overwhelming aura backing him and his features are almost neutral. However, you can see beyond his almost-perfect facade. Under his stoic expression is a pang of sadness and loneliness. You can see it whenever he stares at the party.

>>5297756
Citrine is just staring at him, unable to determine anything.

>>5297755
Ymir gets a headache from trying to look a little too hard. Ouch!

A small object comes fluttering into the guild hall, and you watch it twirl and spin in the air before it promptly crashes into the grass. You approach the strange thing, realizing that it was not a pokemon but... something creased and folded. You stare at the crumpled and wrinkled texture of the paper, the nose partially pushed in from the rough landing. Picking it up, you note the construction is meticulously made to resemble a Pidgey. Who could have made this?

In the light, you catch the footprint rune bleeding through the paper.

Carefully peeling it open, you pull the letters out. The scraps of paper need to be assembled into something readable...

It reads:
>To the Lost Hope Guild, may this letter find you in good spirits and health (if you are not them do not read this letter, or else you will activate the self-destruct function).
>Despite our past quarrel and how I am very evil, I have deduced that working together is the most sensible action.
>I have heard of your criminal past, so that must mean you're all evil!!! Therefore, you will work with me.
>You see, I tire of this cell and the simpletons around it who do not grasp the scope of my genius, and I have been planning a truly dastardly plan.
>I will make construct the Big-Rainifier to drown out Treasure Town and force them to relocate us to a different jail!

The next paper is just him writing out "Muahahahaha..."

>This plan relies on Water Stones, which I am severely lacking. For I am in jail.
>I have attached to the Message-Senderer the location where they naturally may be found.
>Yours Most Dastardly and Devious, Doctor Derange D. Doppler.

You stare at the pieces, message received. Do you help him?

"He's a cool guy. I don't know why he's looking to relocate though- I revised his release date to be a lot sooner. Must be pretty bad."

Guys! idea, why don't we go raid that water stone place he told us about anyway, then sell off the stones to kekleon or one of the rich mons who visit treasure town?

"I was going to break them out, but Milo told me not, so I cooked the books- yeah." Maroon replies as if nothing was wrong with that statement.
