Lolwut? Ash, I shouldn't have to explain why the point you're trying to make is completely silly. You're talking about anime physics as if it's a set of hard-and-fast rules we need to follow, when in fact it's nothing more than a series of random, self-contradictory events. Electric-type moves will sometimes hit Ground-types, Will-O-Wisp will sometimes hit Fire-types, Swift can sometimes be evaded, and so on. Our ASB is based off the anime, yes, but we also recognize that our universe needs to be more consistent than the anime. That's why our Ghost-type Pokemon will invariably be immune to Fighting-type moves except in situations where Foresight, Odour Sleuth, Scrappy, etc. are in effect.

[Ash0011]

ok then sorry just needed that clarified on with the zone

[Cynder]

Excuse me, miss, do you happen to know where the records about reshiram's location are stored?

[RaZoR LeAf]

I accept.

Hanzo, you'll do this, one on one to be fair and honourable. Get in quick with a Shadow Sneak, then follow it up with a Rock Slide and a Psycho Cut

Shinsuke Island
This Volcanic Island - previously hidden away; can now be seen from the shore. A massive pool of magma lies deep in its center, but one can walk down quite a ways and find a variety of Fire Types enjoying the heated tunnels. Some hardier Flying Pokemon line the edges of the Volcano as well. A tall Pagoda stands on the Island as well, the only man-made structure here. If you fish from shore, Water Pokemon encounter rates are the same as for Tranquil Shores.

‡ Round 35 ‡

Rosalinda gives you a withering look as you ask her to Teleport you again. Nonetheless, you Ralts acquiesces and in an instant you find yourself overlooking a colossal pit filled with smoke-spewing molten rock. On the far side of the caldera you see a young woman barking commands to an Infernape. The Infernape appears to be battling three Pokemon all by itself. What's more... it's winning.




"That's her," the Penelope whispers. "That's my old trainer... Cassandra."

Grave's Yard
A frightening place where all the worst stories originate. Home to Ghost and Dark type pokemon, you may find a rare Psychic type, but only the bravest dare tread here.

‡ Round 16 ‡

Now that Ricario knows where the invisible assailant is located, he fire off a Dark Pulse in the appropriate direction. A pained squeal lets you know that the attack hit. Suddenly, your opponent comes into clear view.



She grimaces and maintains her Psychic hold on your Pokemon, bashing them hard against the ground. You get the Teleport medallion ready for use; however, something through the trees catches your eyes. You see a a distant light and an orange figure floating along off in the distance.



However, Shuppet doesn't seem to keen on letting your Pokemon escape. Rotom floats off out of sight.

A tall mountain that plays host to the TMPL Archive. While there are mountain pokemon on the outside, inside the Archive itself you'll find lots of Electric types, as well as plenty of Steel types.

‡ Round 9 ‡

You ask the Head Archivist for information on Reshiram.



"Reshiram, you see? Yes, I'm familiar... it's a Generation V Pokemon, right?" she asks gruffly. "Yes, well, I'm in the process of equipping our archive with information about the newest generation of Pokemon but it's proving to be a daunting task. We don't exactly have the budget for me to hire workers, you see, and so far we're only up to... #526, Gigalith. According to my estimations, we'll have information about Reshiram available in, oh, three or five years. Come back then."

Your Pokemon exchange bewildered looks. They clearly don't like the idea of waiting three to five years.

"That said," the Head Archivist adds, "I can think of someone who might be able to help you."

How do you proceed?

The completely aerial town is connected by boardwalks, and the homes all resemble traditional Japanese style. One would think the townspeople were turned into Pokemon here!

‡ Round 20 ‡

You and Darmanitan agree to have a quick battle on the boardwalk outside of the post office. Hanzo steps up to plate, ready to kick a little monkey behind. He begins by lurching forward and lashing out with Ghost-type energy, catching Darmanitan off-guard. He gives his head a shake and retaliates by opening his mouth and letting off a big Yawn that induces immediate drowsiness in Hanzo.

Fighting off exhaustion, Hanzo commands an onslaught of rocks to tumble down from the heavens all over Darmanitan. He even manages to lash out with a Psychic slashing move before fatigue sets in and brings him to sleep. Darmanitan takes the opportunity to attack with a Will-O-Wisp, causing a Burn, and a mighty Giga Impact. Hanzo is tossed to the edge of the boardwalk, his left side slouching over the edge.

"Well, you see, my sister Ernesta studies and pursues Legendary Pokemon as a bit of a hobby," the Head Archivist explains. "If you're seeking information on Reshiram, I'd be shocked if she doesn't have it. You can find her in Skyline Terrace at the Pokemon Collegiate Institute where she works as the school's Headmistress. I'd help you set up an appointment but Ernesta and I... aren't on the best of terms." A sudden foul expression comes over the Ariados's face. "I don't care to explain why, frankly."

Hmm, sleep is a bugger to get out of. If I shout commands to Hanzo he may wake up faster. But I'll at least command him to use SLEEP TALK as much as he can, and if he does wake up then use NIGHT SLASH a lot.

[Cynder]

Ah, alright then, thanks for the help! Anything I hould know that might help to loosen Ernesta's, er, mandibles? And if not, then off we go to the Skyline Terrace I guess!

You watch as Cassandra's Infernape puts the finishing moves on the three Pokemon. Once they've been defeated, Cassandra pulls out her Pokedex and examines them carefully. She frowns.

"Well, Charmeleon at least has the potential to evolve into something big and strong," she says to herself, looking at Torkoal and Magcargo with disgust. "Great Ball, go!"

She throws a Great Ball which sucks Charmeleon up into its cavity. It wiggles three times before going still and teleporting away. Cassandra nods confidently and begins to turn away, but notices you across the caldera smoking pit.

"Can I help you?" she asks in a vaguely irritated voice. She doesn't seem to have noticed Penelope who's hiding tremulously behind Sake.

You bellow your commands to Hanzo. He begins attacking in his sleep, starting with a Leaf Blade and ending with a Confusion. Darmanitan, meanwhile, recharges from his prior attack. He then tries and fails to execute a Focus Blast before opting for an Earthquake instead.

The shaking ground rouses Hanzo from his sleep. He then attacks with a Night Slash, which does a decent amount of damage. Suddenly, Darmanitan glows blue and reverts to the statuesque form he was in when you first found him.

"She admires intelligence, so if you're not smart already then do your best to pretend," the Head Archivist says gruffly. "Also, she's got a massive ego, so appeal to that as much as you can."

With that, you depart from the ASB Archive and Fly out upon Sabaku. Fortunately, Skyline Terrace is not altogether too far away and the flight is a brief one. You touch down upon a springy boardwalk nestled way up in the treetops.

Looking around, you see a Sudowoodo holding a swaddled Bonsly in her arms. You also see a pair of Swoobats perched on a nearby bench.

You explain to Cassandra why you came. Sake steps aside so Penelope is in clear view. She toes the ground nervously.



"Um, okay," Cassandra says, not bothering to mask a smirk. "And what did you think? You'd bring her here and we'd have a nice, teary reunion? Barf. I left her because I didn't want a weak little Igglybuff, obviously. My sister has poor taste in Christmas presents. I didn't want Penelope then and I don't want her now. Sorry to waste you time, stranger."

"Oh, please," Cassandra scoffs. "I already have a big, burly Exploud that can eat a Wigglytuff for breakfast any day of the week. You can keep that shrimpy little Igglybuff along with your other three pygmies, alright? I neither want nor need her on my team."

Sake, Rosalinda and Eevee bare their teeth.

"Penelope," Eevee says, "I think it's time for you to take on that Infernape and defend the good name of all pint-sized Pokemon. Got it? Grind it to a pulp."

Infernape, Exploud, Golurk, Rosalinda, Eevee and Penelope shuffle off to the side as Sake and Salamence step up to fight. Sake quivers a little bit as he looks up at his Intimidating foe. Salamence spreads his massive wings and takes flight, but Sake calms his nerves long enough to leap into the air and land on the back of Salamence's neck. Sake then lashes out with a Fake Out, which stuns Salamence and sends him into a tailspin toward the ground. Salamence pulls out of the dive at the last second and gets airborne once again with Sake clinging on for dear life.

"Buck him off!" Cassandra shouts.



Salamence tries, but Sake's grip appears strong. Sake prepares to use a powerful combo, but a sudden Roar from Salamence does away with your Mienfoo's steely nerves. He quivers as he maintains his hold on Salamence's neck, unable to attack. Salamence, meanwhile, has decides to stop bucking and start attacking: water surrounds his tail and he whips it against Sake, who lets out a shout. The round finishes as Sake's limbs turn dark as stone as he starts using them to bludgeon the Flying-type. Salamence shouts out in pain.

After a short walk during which you learn all about the annoying and/or adorable things Baby Tommy does, you arrive at an impressive building that looks more like a mansion than any school you've ever seen.
