Mokou Crosses Over into Pokemon, The Text Adventure

[Kasu]

> Fondly regard glow.

[capt. h]

> Fondly regard glow.

> You fondly regard the glow alongside Sanae, who seems to be recording it on her phone. When the glowing stops, Lighter looks really different. It's much redder than before, and bigger too.



> "Evolution is a lot more fascinating in person," Sanae says. "Congrats!"

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Cool."
>Let's go kick somebody's ass.

[IdiotsOpposite]

Ask if the evolution disproves Sanae's religion.

Ask Sanae where the gym is, and if she wants to go there with us. Proselytizing must get boring after a while.

[Raikaria]

> Challenge Sanae to a warm-up battle, three on three. If we can't beat Sanae, who's not even after Gyms, we should reconsider challengeing the Olivine Gym, seeing as Falkner was apparently the weakest Jhoto Gym Leader.

[capt. h]

>"Cool."
>Let's go kick somebody's ass.

> You consider asses you would like to kick. You suppose you could fight Sanae right here in the center, and there's also a perfectly good gym right down the street. You note that Lighter's claws are sharper than before, so you figure his scratching attacks must have gotten a boost.

Ask Sanae where the gym is, and if she wants to go there with us. Proselytizing must get boring after a while.

> "Leave the pokemon center and turn left, you can't miss it. I'd love to go with you, will you battle first or should I?"

> You consider whether there are any last minute preparations you would like to make, and fail to come up with anything. You are ready for battle.

Ask if the evolution disproves Sanae's religion.

> Sanae laughs. "Kanako is a war god. She loves natural selection, and uses it as evidence of her supremacy."

> Challenge Sanae to a warm-up battle, three on three. If we can't beat Sanae, who's not even after Gyms, we should reconsider challengeing the Olivine Gym, seeing as Falkner was apparently the weakest Jhoto Gym Leader.

> "We should take it outside then," she says, walking out the front door. "Treeko, prepare for battle, you're up first." Sanae turns to you. "Are you sure you want to battle me right now? I'd be happy to do either."

Let's do the Sanae battle, but keep it light. We don't want our Pokemon to get seriously injured before the Gym fight!

That said, I don't know about the others, but I'm interested in testing Lighter's new abilities.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Test out Lighters new abilities. We need to confirm how much he had grown before moving on, so we wont overestimate his Power.

>Lighter as first pokemon, Dash next, then Flint. That will be our 3v3 team order for her.

> "Alright," Sanae says. "Treecko, use pound." The gecko begins charging. Lighter is ready for your orders.

>_

[IdiotsOpposite]

"Lighter, burn that gecko!"

[capt. h]

"Lighter, burn that gecko!"

> Lighter exhales a steady stream of flames, as opposed to the quick bursts it launched as a Charmander. "Treecko, switch to quick attack!" Sanae commands. It charges at double speed straight into your attack reaching point-blank range near instantly. It must be badly burned, and it's about to strike.

>_

[Hanzo K.]

>"Lighter, smack it down with Scratch."

[capt. h]

>"Lighter, smack it down with Scratch."

> Lighter takes a smack to the side of the head, and responds by smashing the gecko into the ground. The treecko doesn't move. "Not bad. Treeko, return. Ekans, use dig." Sanae's gecko is absorbed back into it's ball, while her snake burries into the ground.

[IdiotsOpposite]

The thing's underground. Might now be a good time to switch to Flint?

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's swap lighter for Flint then!
>"Lighter, come on back. Flint, you're up!"

[Kasu]

The thing's underground. Might now be a good time to switch to Flint?

I'd say we should go for it.

[capt. h]

The thing's underground. Might now be a good time to switch to Flint?

> You consider the benefits to switching to Flint, and the biggest one is altitude. It's hard to hit something in the air while underground. On the other hand, you note that it could easily swallow Flint whole.

I'd say we should go for it.

> Eh, nothing ventured nothing gained.

>Let's swap lighter for Flint then!
>"Lighter, come on back. Flint, you're up!"

> "Ekans, use bite!" The ground begins to rumble.

>_

[Hanzo K.]

>"Flint, take to the skies! And then counter with Mirror Move!"

[capt. h]

>"Flint, take to the skies! And then counter with Mirror Move!"

> Flint flies up high, narrowly dodging Ekans' chomp. It then divebombs into it's own bite. Flint isn't really big enough to pull off bite, but the dive bomb seems to have done some damage.

> "Dig, then use acid!" Sanae declares. The snake burrows into the ground again.

>_

[Kasu]

> "Flint!  Get some more altitude and stay frosty!"

[capt. h]

> "Flint!  Get some more altitude and stay frosty!"

> Flint flies high, and the ground rumbles. Then it bursts and a geiser of greenish-yellow liquid erupts. It falls a couple feet short of Flint.

> "Well, that won't do." Sanae says, clasping her hands together. Judging by the muttering and the gesture, you think she's praying. She then shouts, "Ekans, use acid again!"

>_

[Hanzo K.]

>"Flint, Mirror Move!"
>Let's get ready to fling some fire if we have to too.

[capt. h]

>"Flint, Mirror Move!"
>Let's get ready to fling some fire if we have to too.

> This time, the acid attack double's it's height. Flint manages to avoid the brunt of it with counter acid, which dissipates it into a yellow mist. A mist the wind is stubbornly spiraling around Flint. Flint's losing feathers.

> "I wouldn't think the bird capable. Perhaps it really is a youkai. Keep spraying acid," Sanae commands, returning to her prayer.

>_

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, looks like it's time for a trump card I learned back in the battle with Falkner. Flint! Use Whirlwind to blow the Acid back at it!"
>Let's sling a little Danmaku past Sanae to disrupt her prayers. "Hey, shouldn't we be leaving the fight to the Pokemon, Greenie?"

[capt. h]

>"Well, looks like it's time for a trump card I learned back in the battle with Falkner. Flint! Use Whirlwind to blow the Acid back at it!"

> The mist, as well as Ekan's next spray of acid, is blown to ground level. You can't tell what effect this is having on the Ekans, because it's still underground. You can tell what effect it's having on yourself, being at ground level; you feel your skin burn, and your eyes water. You call all your pokemon back into their balls except Flint.

>Let's sling a little Danmaku past Sanae to disrupt her prayers. "Hey, shouldn't we be leaving the fight to the Pokemon, Greenie?"

> "A goddess cannot be allowed to be bested. It humiliates the goddess, and reduces the faith of her followers. This is doubly true of the arts of combat, for how can my followers expect me to protect them when I cannot protect myself?" she explains. She then points to the pokemon center; a number of patrons are watching the battle through the windows. "I have to win, and if it looks like the gods themselves aided me that's even better." She then mutters some prayer. The wind spirals the acid cloud away from herself and around you. You are forced to cover your eyes before you lose them. "Kanako would thank you if you took a dive right now. The point has been made, the gods themselves are influencing the battle and I channel the gods. And now the flock must be tended to, before they misplace their faith."

>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's dispel it with a large burst of flame!
>"Well, you got spirit. I'll give you that. But a little wind won't blow out an Eternal Inferno."

[capt. h]

Mod note: Flint's still out, but you returned the Charmeleon and the Ponyta. I apologize for the error, and have editted the post accordingly.

>Let's dispel it with a large burst of flame!

> You burst into flames, dispursing the smog into your smoke.

>"Well, you got spirit. I'll give you that. But a little wind won't blow out an Eternal Inferno."

> "I think you're right. Would you be so kind as to take a dive then?"

>_

[Hanzo K.]

>"Sorry, no can do. I just don't throw a fight y'know. Not when I'm the one who issued the challenge in the first place."

[Kyo Tanaka]

"Hey goddess. Do you know how to receive faith from people?"

>"If people actually knew you did that, it means you do not have faith in your own pokemon, and will do any dirty tricks for a win. Nobody will give faith to such person. Your pokemons have faith in you, so give your own faith to them. If you use underhanded tactics such as this, they will lose their faith in you."

If anyone rejects the line above, feel free not to include it.

[Hanzo K.]

I'm all for that. Hit 'er where it hurts.
