24F: Hotel DeNewman (+ Sky Key)

Yesterday's Eliminations
;311; ;033; ;030; ;095; ;075; :578: ;313; ;252; :605: ;314; ;446; ;108; ;271; :566: ;193;
A lot of eliminations today, but some of them are made more bearable by the fact that their loved ones go with them. Volbeat and Illumise go dejectedly back into the forest side by side. Same thing with Nidorin@. (Get it? O + A = @? Oh, forget it.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sky Key!!
;188;
The usual "Sky Key... repeat, a Sky Key" thing rings out across this floor, in a manner which I've already described a couple of times; if you want the fancy description, go find it on another page. Skiploom, the only Pokémon to receive votes from all five of yesterday's Arconauts, gains the Sky Key. Kinda takes the fun out of voting, doesn't it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TWENTY-FOURTH FLOOR
As the elevator arrives on 24F, you're glad to see you've arrived someplace more refined. The battlegrounds and vicious beams give way to high, vaulted ceilings, large chandeliers and checkered tiles.

You have reached the entrance hall of Hotel DeNewman, the last safe place before the Sky Lobby. An oddly familiar-looking Pelipper, in a blue hat and seemingly the manager of this place, greets you as you look around and find the reception desk. "Welcome! Please, please, allow me to explain this place a little.

"This hotel," says the manager, Pelipper, "is organized based on stats. This floor here is dedicated to our most defensive guests, whereas 25F is dedicated to the attackers, so naturally, that's where our great Colosseums are located. On 26F, the speedy are given the VIP treatment; the Special Attack geniuses hang out just above them on 27. The twenty-eighth floor stands for Hit Points; Finally, 29F is a haven for Special Defense.

"Well, I hope you enjoy your stay!" Pelipper concludes, before a racing Combusken barges in behind its desk and it gives it a most unenjoyable treatment.

A restaurant, staffed by Persian and decked out with mood lighting, offers the most gourmet delicacies (are those TinyMushrooms around the outsides of people's plates?). Its introspective music is, however, drowned out by a Metang doing karaoke on a nearby computer, as well as by the electronic beats of the nightclub next door, to which a Sudowoodo is keeping perfect time. The worst dancer loses.

The rest of the floor consists of spacious hotel rooms, running around the circular curve of the outer wall. Not one of the doors is open. On this floor, as Pelipper informed you, everyone is defensive, and they're all gearing up for resistance.

Will their resistance be futile? You decide. Vote now.

25F: No Vacancy

Of course, for Treecko, Archen and Elgyem, it's not RIP. It's CBITFIP (crawl back into the forest in peace).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TWENTY-FIFTH FLOOR
As the race in the hotel lobby reaches its high point and ladders (this time, crystal... this hotel is clearly way overpriced) drop from above, the standard "ding" never arrives. Instead, somewhere high above, you hear "STRONG! STRONG! STRONG!". Although you quickly figure out that the sound is just coming from a huge clock bell, it somehow sounds eerily similar to that word.

Twelve "STRONG!"s occur before the clock finally falls silent and the gaudy lobby is deserted. It's already noon. And you're a quarter of the way to the top. Who knew?

The elevator opens on 25F into a lobby that is just as fancy as the last one... but rougher. Ornate, fanged carvings decorate the two cavernous Colosseums on either side of the carpeted room; Gabite and Zweilous wait inside, preparing to Dragon-Claw all unwary challengers. Remember, this is the floor of the vicious. And there's no vacancy.

From every room, from 251 to 257, rise noises of vicious strife. Only Bibarel, chewing on a Lava Cookie near an old-fashioned vending machine, escapes the fray.

I'm not. See below.

Gabite and Pignite get the axe... very unfairly, in my opinion, because they fell victim to the random-number generator we had to use to break up two four-way ties. Meanwhile, Zweilous is conquered by worthy attackers, Shelgon locks up but can't lash out, and at the vending machine, Gligar gets the "sold out" sign.

This is the Speed floor. And thus, I have no time to write a description.

Correction:
In the second-last "Quickest" category, Golem (#076) should be Ponyta (#077). Fixed.

On the Speed floor, Raticate gets outrun by its new(er) rival Pachirisu as the hotel manager itself is out-toughed in Emolga's electrical zone. Well, it does have a quadruple weakness to Electric, after all. And unfortunately for Qwilfish, it's not called Qwikfish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While riding the elevator this time, you look down and happen to find a beaten-up poster lying on the ground, trodden on by countless furry and slimy critters. Wonder how long it's been there. You can still make out the main words through the smudges:
LORD MOON THE FOURTH
Appearing at NeoMall Theatre
TODAY ONLY!

Grotesque circus figures surround a performer whose face seems to be blurred out.

No time to consider the meaning of this now, though... a very busy Rotom, currently acting as a washing machine, awaits you in what is now the laundry room but was a kitchen until it stopped possessing the oven. In the greenhouse to the south, however, a Sunflora stares out the window with relative disinterest.

A box of Genius Wings has been spilled on the round lobby's rug in front of Room 275. Sneasel approaches the door and grabs, coldly, for the handle. But there is no handle. You look around and discover that the doors on here have no keyholes. I guess the Special Attack fiends on here have to use their minds. They have to find other ways into their homes away from home.

Who will outsmart (or in-smart) the evil doors? And who will just end up as another brick in the wall? You decide. Vote now.
