OOC: I forgot to add the points in at the end of last round. Albert gets 40 points for discovering a toolbox with so many key items in it. Dude also receives 2 points for knocking out Zeab's Riolu and Ledyba. (It'll usually be one point per Pokémon defeated.)
Now then, on to the action.
--------------------------
Simon
Your arm muscles begin to weaken from so much swimming without Surf, but it's worth it. You beach yourself safely on one side. Across the sand bar to the southwest, you see an expanse of deep, dark water appropriate for diving.
Your happiness proves to be short-lived, however, as you spot that there are people on the sand bar. A man in a sailor suit, with an oddly familiar Surf HM in his hand, walks up to you.
"It's that kid again! You people are trying to stop our ships! Get off our backs!"
PIRATE GRUNT MUEHL would like to battle!
PIRATE GRUNT MUEHL sent out SUNFLORA! SUNFLORA used SUNNY DAY!
The sunlight around the area intensifies as Sunflora takes the stage. A flower has never struck you as the kind of Pokémon a pirate would use, but... Who do you pick?
Amusement Park
Asked about deaths between 2006-2112, the man just shrugs. "Seriously kid, look at what I've got." When you look sideways, you see Simon battling on the sand bar to your west. A Sunflora uses Sunny Day, and the sunlight around the entire area shines brightly over your head.
In the light, you can now read the piece of paper that the man is holding in his hand. It seems to be some kind of a map, with hand-drawn lines and notes. "Those gray lines are the ship routes, I think. The deep water's gotta be good. Somebody told me they've got something important on that island down south, too." You earned 25 points! (OOC: I'll be sending an image of the map out to you by PM, as other people haven't seen it yet.)
You are drifting on the patch of deep water near Island #5, remember. Choose your direction (north, south, east, west, or anywhere in between)!
Bliss
You glance to your right as you leave Island #6. Low and behold, you've spotted one of your friends!
You see Amusement Park drifting in a deep-water area near you. And best of all, you've only got three Pokémon each, so you can team up with one another.
Would you like to form a team with Park?
Moomy
As you draw closer to the rock, you receive a surprise visitor dropping from the sky. No, not a Cipher Peon, or even a human. It's a bird. A Pelipper with a mail-carrying bag around its bill (think Mystery Dungeon here).
You aren't surprised when he starts speaking English to you. This is 2112, after all.
"Hiya," he says. "I'm Newman the Pelipper, your friendly letter carrier! I used to belong to the Kids Grid and I'm real familiar with your gang. This is Inaccessible Island, kid. You can't get on from the outside; I think you have to go in from somewhere else. But anyways, I just saw your friend Park, and he's got a map that you might want to see. Do you want me to go get it for you?"
Cirno
Using your attacks, which are both strong and health-restoring, you manage to knock Mareep out of commission. You earned 1 point!
"NOTHING beats Dragon, kid!" says Slatey, with no change in his determined expression. "We know the game and we're gonna play it!"
NAVIGATOR SLATEY sent out DRATINI!
Dude
The Great Ball flies high and straight, but unfortunately, Zeab doesn't stand still. With reflexes only a Chaser could possess, he presses his hand against the ball, smacking it straight into your Houndoom's face for a couple of points of damage.
Electrike gets into the act as well, and uses Thunder Wave to paralyze Houndoom. Looks like you're not getting out of this one as easily as you thought.
MSE
Ba-da-boom! You score a critical hit with Porcher's Psychic. Nidorina vanishes in a burst of mind-scrambling brain rays. You earned 1 point!
SHADOW MINION KUZMA sent out FURRET!
Furret instantly follows to her owner's command using a powerful Slam. Good luck with this one.
Albert
You've got your toolbox, a copy of your note, and your HMs. Are you good? Guess again.
As you make the decision to follow the boat, the thug who just dropped the toolbox spins around and advances back on you. "A little help please, Dern!"
"Will do, Barth!"
Even the ridiculous names of the grunts do nothing to make this situation less serious.
"Hands up!" order the minion and his friend as they zip open your bag and remove your wallet. "Hands up, or we'll fight!"
Do you fight back? They may steal some money from you, but otherwise you'll have to double battle.
Now then, on to the action.
