Mokou Quest 2: Sinnoh Edition

[Kasu]

>Consider bringing NEET along before leaving

> As funny as her reaction would be, we can do that another time.

[capt. h]

>How bad can flying through a blizzard be? Let's do it.

> This is clearly the best plan, and no one will tell you otherwise, that's for sure.

> If nothing else, it can't be any worse than the volcano stunt.

> Then again, you're pretty sure Hell itself is more pleasant than the volcano stunt.

>We should walk. Maybe we'll find a pokemon to catch over there.

>We'll fly up until we get to the blizzards, at the very least. We can walk from there if we need to.

> You decide to walk when you reach the blizzards. If nothing else, losing your bearings altitudinally is much worse than being lost on the ground.

>Consider bringing NEET along before leaving

> Well, on the plus side she'd probably hate it because it's cold and wet. On the other hand, you'd have to listen to her complain about being cold and wet.

>Then remember that FUCK THAT.

> As funny as her reaction would be, we can do that another time.

> You decide you don't want to deal with the neet right now.

>Call Keine instead.

> "Are you going to Mt. Coronet?" Cirno asks. "Because I want to go too! This'll be fu-*click*"

> You hang up on Cirno, and dial the schoolteacher instead.

> "Hello, Keine speaking?" she says.

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Hey, Keine. It's me."
>"Sorry to run off on you, but things came up. I'm heading to Mt. Coronet right now, 'cause it sounds like shit's going down up there. Wanna catch up with me? I'd appreciate the backup."

[LaserTurtle]

>What are Keine's Pokemon?
>Maybe she'll catch one over here!
>Expect Kogasa to come too. Hopefully she'll try to surprise you by not coming then.

[DNAbc]

>Wait, should we really bring our best friend and mentor into this life-endangering business?

[capt. h]

>What are Keine's Pokemon?
>Maybe she'll catch one over here!

> You recall that Keine has a Starly, a Turtwig, and a Mawile.

> She seems to prefer pokemon she finds cute.

>"Hey, Keine. It's me."

> "Mokou? Do you realize how late it is?" Keine asks.

> You reply "No," checking the time on your phone. It's around 10:45 PM.

> "To be fair," Keine sighs. "I wouldn't have noticed either, but they kicked me out of the library."

>"Sorry to run off on you, but things came up. I'm heading to Mt. Coronet right now, 'cause it sounds like shit's going down up there. Wanna catch up with me? I'd appreciate the backup."

>Wait, should we really bring our best friend and mentor into this life-endangering business?

> ...Probably not, you admit to yourself.

>Expect Kogasa to-I'll go!

> What the hell?

> "I'll go," Kogasa says again.

> "Kogasa, were you eaves-dropping?" Keine asks.

> "Well duh," the umbrella youkai says. You then hear a loud crack over the phone.

> "Kogasa is currently... indisposed," Keine says. "She'd love to go along when she wakes up. However, I might sit this one out-blizzards are really tough."

> "Do you want her number?"

> You idly think Cirno is perfect for the job. Except for the fact that she's Cirno, of course.

>_

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Think that we should actually be nicer to Cirno.
>Because best route!!!! /shot

>Also get Kogasa's number

[DNAbc]

(Mokou's gonna burn your fourth wall down, with the LEMONS.  :V )

>"Sure, I will take her number."

[capt. h]

>Think that we should actually be nicer to Cirno.

> You consider being nicer to Cirno. Cirno hasn't done anything to you, yet at least. She can be a bit annoying, you suppose.

>Because best route!!!! /shot

> You are forced to shoot yourself in the head for that thought. First off, you aren't in a visual novel, and second even if you were, a romantic comedy featuring Cirno would be the "worst nightmare" route, not the best route.

> Well, you aren't sure which route would be worse, the Kaguya route or the Cirno route. You suppose you'd have to try each of them and compare the two-NO YOU ARE NOT DOING THAT.

> To be fair, you don't have any specific grievance with Cirno beyond her annoying childishness. Keine's always been better with the kids than you. But you aren't so bored that you'd put yourself through THAT twice...

> ...yet.

>Also get Kogasa's number

>"Sure, I will take her number."

> You receive Kogasa's number.

> "Also, could you take pictures while you're up there? The view is supposed to be amazing during the day, and I heard there are a couple ancient altars up there that I'd like a peek at."

(Mokou's gonna burn your fourth wall down, with the LEMONS.  :V )

> Nonsense. You don't have lemons on hand, and you don't see a first, second, or third wall from your current location, let alone a forth wall.

> Nevertheless, you consider going to a supermarket and buying lemons. You are confident that with time you could enchant up a combustible lemon. You aren't sure what the point of that would be, but you have an abundance of time and you enjoy using it for pet projects like that.

> Maybe you could make lemonade? You do enjoy drinks that pack a punch.

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>Wait, do we even have a camera to take pictures with?
>If we don't, well...
>Since Kogasa's coming, let's ask her if she has a camera when she stops being unconscious.

[Kasu]

> Obviously we're shooting for the Keine route.
> Have a look at our current surroundings.

[DNAbc]

>"I will try and get some pictures."
>"But you know, I am not especially good with modern tech."

[capt. h]

>Wait, do we even have a camera to take pictures with?
>If we don't, well...
>Since Kogasa's coming, let's ask her if she has a camera when she stops being unconscious.

> Kogasa should really get to work on that "not being unconscious" thing, it'll already take her all night to catch up.

>"I will try and get some pictures."
>"But you know, I am not especially good with modern tech."

> You don't have a camera in your inventory. However...

> "Your phone should be able to take pictures," Keine explains. "Select the camera app, and when the image you want appears on screen, press the big round icon at the bottom to take a photo."

> Obviously we're shooting for the Keine route.

> Keine has those two special qualities you're looking for in a friend.

> She doesn't irritate you (much), and she doesn't die when she comes to visit. Oh, and she actually does visit once in a while, that's important too.

> You're mildly surprised how difficult it is to find friends with those qualifications.

> Have a look at our current surroundings.

> You are immediately east of Jubilife, leaving town. You see a couple scattered houses along the road, and the rare light, but it looks like most the town's gone to bed out here. Cloud cover blocks all stars in the sky, and as soon as you run out of streetlamps, either yourself or lighter will need to light the way. The crickets are chirping too, and they're pretty good at it, the chirp is sounding strangly melodic.

> Wait...



> That's... not exactly a cricket.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Catch it for a present for Keine! Keine route where we come!

[IdiotsOpposite]

Idly wonder about whether Mystia would go after this mon if she were here. Or maybe the Prismrivers, it seems right up their alley.

[capt. h]

>Catch it for a present for Keine! Keine route where we come!

> You decide to catch it!

> ...Right, you should decide on a strategy.

Idly wonder about whether Mystia would go after this mon if she were here. Or maybe the Prismrivers, it seems right up their alley.

> Hm... You aren't sure if the Prismrivers are into bugs, even if they are musical bugs. Whereas Mystia...

> "Mine!" you hear a familiar voice yell from over the next hill.

> "We agreed Mysti, I'd get the bugs, and you'd get the birds."

> "But listen to that sound! It'd be perfect for my performances."

> "You'd just eat it! And I need it for my army of bugs. I'm taking it."

> "No, it's mine!"

> "Get off of me!"

> You believe Mystia's stance is obvious.

>_

[Kasu]

> Uh... huh.
> Well that probably should've been expected.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Burn and catch it while those two are bickering.

[capt. h]

> Uh... huh.
> Well that probably should've been expected.

> You wonder if you should have seen that coming or not.

>Burn and catch it while those two are bickering.

> Well, that's simple enough. You incinerate the bug and throw a pokeball at it.

> The... whatever it was is caught! You wonder if you should give it a nickname.

> "Give it up Misti, I'm taking that bug and... where's the bug?"

> "Oh great, you scared it off!"

> "Well, maybe if you hadn't been yelling it wouldn't have run off!"

> "If you had just let me have it little miss 'queen of the bug pokemon'!"

> Oh, now it is ON!"

> You hear scuffling from over the hill.

> ...You aren't sure if you want to get involved. You are tempted to watch.

>_

[DNAbc]

>Name it Wriggle, obviously
>Go and watch like a boss

[IdiotsOpposite]

Actually, maybe we shouldn't name it Wriggle, given that we're probably less than 40 feet away from the ACTUAL Wriggle Nightbug.

[capt. h]

>Name it Wriggle, obviously

> Obviously.

Actually, maybe we shouldn't name it Wriggle, given that we're probably less than 40 feet away from the ACTUAL Wriggle Nightbug.

> ...Well, they didn't notice you setting it on fire and capturing it, it's unlikely that they would notice you naming it.

> Then again, the rules of comedic timing would INSIST that they notice you naming it.

> Still, to be safe, you put off the naming ceremony until later.

>Go and watch like a boss

> You aren't completely sure how a boss would watch, but you lack the necessary throne and glass of Chianti. You decide to instead watch like a private investigator.

> You see a sparrow youkai Mystia (her pride demands that you call her a NIGHT sparrow to her face, she finds the plain old sparrow moniker insulting) and the nightbug Wriggle wrestling with eachother. Mystia has Wriggle in a chokehold, and Wriggle is kicking Mystia's shins in.

> "Say Uncle!" Mystia yells.

> Never!"

> You wish you had popcorn.

>_

[IdiotsOpposite]

While it's fun to watch them, they're distracting us from... um... whatever it is we're doing, so let's catch their attention with a light torching.

[LaserTurtle]

>actually the rules of comedic timing state that - Hey is that Kogasa?
>Wonder what's taking Kogasa so long to regain consciousness. That umbrella-girl-youkai-thing needs to get stronger.

[capt. h]

While it's fun to watch them, they're distracting us from... um... whatever it is we're doing, so let's catch their attention with a light torching.

> What were you doing again?

> "Mokou? Are you still there?" Keine asks.

> Oh right. Talking to Keine. "Um... I'll have to get back to you."

> You hang up. You then catch their attention by lightly grilling them.

> Sparrow, chicken, they're all the same.

> Wriggle is rolling on the ground screaming.

> Mystia, having Wriggle as a shield, isn't on fire so instead she's begging for her life. "OhgodohgodohgodohgodPLEASE DON'T KILL US!" she screeches.

> This is not your first meeting with these two.

>Wonder what's taking Kogasa so long to regain consciousness. That umbrella-girl-youkai-thing needs to get stronger.

> To be fair, "indisposed" doesn't have to mean "unconscious". Keine might have decided to break her spine instead.

> Keine can be surprisingly violent sometimes, even moreso to youkai than to students.

>actually the rules of comedic timing state that - Hey is that Kogasa?

> You get a text message: "Surprise! Well, did I get you?" It's from Kogasa.

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Text back: No.

>"Thanks for bickering with each other, by the way. Wouldn't have wanted to lose that one. Oughta make a good gift for Keine."

[capt. h]

>Text back: No.

> Kogasa's not very good at this surprise thing.

> At least, you don't think she's good at it. It's hard to tell.

>"Thanks for bickering with each other, by the way. Wouldn't have wanted to lose that one. Oughta make a good gift for Keine."

> "Fine, whatever, just please don't exterminate us!" Mystia begs. "We haven't eaten anybody, I swear!"

> For context, your last run-in with the night sparrow involved her attempting to devour a human that refused to eat at her stand, even after being night-blinded.

> The human was clearly a moron, but you still fried up some tasty sparrow wings that night. You're actually slightly surprised Mystia survived. And yes, apparently if you rip the wings off a youkai, they will grow back.

>_

[IdiotsOpposite]

We should take these two with us. God knows what might happen if we leave them alone.

Just make sure they understand who's boss.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Nah, I'm not going to exterminate you. Why would I do that to my new travel companions?"
>"Now get up and get moving. We're heading for Mt. Coronet."

[DNAbc]

>Do the harem route and hook up any LESBIAN MONSTER GIRLS we encounter without SUFFICIENT RESISTANCE TO FLAMING SILVER HAIRED BADASSESS

>Break necks through phones, btw
