The Crystal Caves Pokemon Capture Center

Mod Approved By: Lady Vulpix, Nala98 and Jay

The year was 2002 AD. War was sweeping the world, slowly enveloping everything in its path. The Dark Lord was rising, ready to take over everything in its path. The world’s only hopes were the Dragon Tamers and the Pokemon Avengers. They won many battles and hope began to dawn. The people began to think that they were saved, that the DT and the PA were going to win, and overcome the Dark Lord and his dark minions of evil. But some people didn’t foresee a victory; they doubted that anyone could overcome the Dark Lord. They thought that the Dark Lord had the power to crush them all, and then take the world for all it’s worth. They left by shiploads, looking for a place to hide overseas, a place that would be their sanctuary. The ships sailed off, leaving their homes behind, and moving on, to what they thought was, safety.

The journey was a troubled one; no one could have foreseen the results. The sea was against them, its waves tossing the boats around like limp wooden puppets. The waves crashed upon the sides of the boats, rocking them from side to side. The sea soon began to get rough, the waves getting stronger and taller, the raging waters splashing up onto the deck. Soon, the waves began crashing upon the boats, snapping their masts and taking the boats down with them, escorting them to their watery grave. Soon, only two ships were left. Led by their brave captains, Matt and Frank, they sailed onward, though the virulent storm. But no matter how long they sailed, it seemed that the Dark Lord willed them to fail, the storm following them wherever they go. Soon, the waves seemed to attack the two lone boats, the waves beginning to crack the hull of the ships. The Captains called all on board to the safest place in the boat…the storage room.

The storage rooms of the boat, being on the bottom of the boat, was covered with more layers, and has a water-proof seal on the door. The water bursted though the outer hull, sweeping away the panicked passengers, as they tried to get to safety. The water enveloped all who didn’t make in, and took their lives. The last of the survivors huddled around in the storage room and formed a close community. They were all that was left. The rest of the boats were ripped to pieces by the savage waves, but the storage rooms of the two boats were miraculously saved. The waves swept the metal rooms around the sea, tossing and turning all who was inside.

They spent weeks in this state, living off of the canned food in the storage. Days rolled by, and people began to die. Death was gnawing at them, slowly sucking their precious life away. Then, the whole room rumbled, both the storage rooms screeching to halt. The survivors of the journey stepped out of the room, and found themselves in an underwater cavern. On the sides of the metal enforced room, there were clusters of Dratini, who seemed to have pushed them to safety. They owed their lives to those blue, snake-like, Dragon Pokemon. The captains picked up what looked like the two who led the effort, and thanked them. They walked on, bringing the Dratini with them, and found…paradise.

The world they found was unlike any other. There were Pokemon everywhere, the land untouched by human feet, uncorrupted by human greed. The journeyed inward, and began to explore their new home. They began to build houses and live off the land. The food was plentiful, the lands lush. They began capturing the Pokemon, and starting a whole new civilization there…

--------------------

You are one of the last survivors, ready to explore The Crystal Caves and to find what wonders lie in this untouched place. To start, you will either post any Captured Pokémon that you own already in this topic, or forfiet the right to use them here. If you don't post any, you get a Master Ball to catch one. You will also be given 3 Pokeballs, 1 Great Ball, 1 Ultra Ball, and 5 Special Balls of your choice. To capture Pokemon, you will explore the each of the different locations.

--------------------

Locations

Desert
Pokemon: Ground (50%), Rock (25%), Steel (15%), Fire (10%)
A great light source brightens this location, leaving it sandy and barren, drying up all the surface water and withering away all life. In this location, you will most likely find Ground types because of the existence of groundwater deep underground. Rock types are also likely to be found here, as with steel and fire.

Meadow
Pokemon: Grass (40%), Normal (40%), Electric (20%)
A large plateau, covered with lush, vivid green grass. It is a cool area, not to hot and not too cold, the ideal place to find Pokemon.

Forest
Pokemon: Flying (40%), Bug (30%), Grass (20%), Ghost (10%)
The trees here provide cool shade, but block out most of the sunlight here. Flying-types find refuge here in the trees. The bug-types are also found in the shade. Don’t stay here after dark…

River
Pokemon: Water (85%), Ice (10%), Dragon (5%)
The rushing rapids of this long river is the blood line of the Crystal Caves, supplying fresh water directly from the fresh water lake, carrying many Water pokemon with it.

Lake
Pokemon: Water (95%), Dragon (5%)
A crystal clear lake that has the purest water in the world, it holds a high concentration of water types, enjoying the clean water unobtainable anywhere else.

North Caverns
Pokemon: Ice (60%), Dark (20%), Ghost (20%)
A cavern filled with icicles, it is the coldest place in the Crystal Caves.

South Caverns
Pokemon: Psychic (45%), Fire (30%), Dark (25%)
A cavern shrouded with psychic and dark illusions. Watch your step. You may end up falling into a hole. Yet, rumor has it that there is a mysterious pond somewhere in here. It may have rare pokemon in it...

East Caverns
Pokemon: Fighting (60%), Dark (30%), Dragon (10%)
A cavern filled with water, there is rumour that powerful Pokemon live there…

West Caverns
Pokemon: Poison (40%), Bug (30%), Fire (30%)
A wasteland, it is filled with tar pits, spewing out toxic gases, making it very much uninhabitable. Only few can survive here.
--------------------

State the location you wish to explore and one of our helpful workers will state what Pokemon you have found/stumbled upon. You then will post three actions that can trap, weaken, or whatever you can think of that could help capture the Pokemon. Then, one of the workers will state the results of the actions. You do not have to throw a Pokeball after three actions, but may see the results first. Also, throwing a Pokeball or using one of the many items you can buy takes up an action. Also, to make it more easier, I have designed a simple form for you to use.

--------------------

NEW! There are now new locations to explore. However, these locations may only be accessed if you have the corresponding SM.

Shrine of Time
A hidden rainforest, filled with exotic plant-life. The atmosphere is humid and the temperatures are high. This location is sealed off by a thick patch of vines that seems to be purposefully forming a gate…re-growing within a few minutes. Only someone with the “Cut” Skill may enter.
Pokemon: Grass (100%)

Shrine of the Sun
Rumor has it that the source of the life-bringing light of the Crystal Caves is contained here. A large forest surrounding an with a glowing, yellow ore with a single tree growing from the lava itself, located on top of a sheer cliff made of the finest Crystal Caves trademark crystal. Only someone with the “Fly” Skill may enter.
Pokemon: Flying (100%)

The Volcano
A wide, mysterious land shroud in fog, across a river with strong, raging rapids. Through the dense fog, you can see a giant peak, glowing in red, molten lava. Rumor has it that a fast Pokemon has been seen, speeding around the land, blur-like. Only someone with the “Surf” Skill may enter.
Pokemon: Fire (100%)

The Ruins
Seismic waves from the Tremor Games have unearthed the ruins of an ancient city, showing that a sentient species had lived here, long ago. What ever happened to this place…no one knows for sure. Only someone with the “Strength” Skill may open the heavy gates of the ruins and enter.
Pokemon: Psychic (100%)

Cavern of Darkness
A cavern deep under the Crystal Caves. No light has ever made it to this dark cavern. Only someone with the “Flash” Skill may venture through this place.
Pokemon: Dark (100%)

The Whirlpools
Seemingly everlasting proof of the destruction that occurred a year ago, the whirlpools rage over a totally submerged part of the caves. Once place teaming with life, it is now only a ruin of the past. The only object seemingly untouched is a cavern at the bottom of the water. Only someone with the “Whirlpool” skill may enter.
Pokemon: Steel (100%)

Shrine of Suicune
As the paths were cleared, people ventured deeper into the Caves, exploring unmapped territory. At the source of bloodline of the Crystal Caves, is a giant waterfall, the crystal clear water pouring from its peak. At the top, is a shrine dedicated to Suicune. The salt water seems to flow into the shrine…and out comes the purified water… Only someone with the “Waterfall” skill may enter.
Pokemon: Water (100%)

Shipwreck
At the bottom of a now uncovered lake in the caves, there is a mysterious ship. No one knows where the ship came from or how it got there...though we know it wont be going away anytime soon. It is rumored that this location is haunted by the very people and Pokemon that died on that ship. Only someone with the “Dive” skill may enter.
Pokemon: Ghost (100%)

Magnetic North
People have always been confused by why their compass arrows always pointed down—now they know why. A cave hidden deep under the Crystal Caves, it holds the center of the magnetic field of the Crystal Caves. An immovable rock is in the way of the entrance. Only someone with the “Rock Smash” skill may enter.
Pokemon: Electric (100%)

--------------------

Special Pokeballs

Fast Ball - Captures Faster Pokemon More Easily

Heavy Ball - Captures Heavy Pokemon More Easily

Lure Ball - Captures Water-Type Pokemon More Easily

Stun Ball - Captures Pokemon With Status Effects More Easily

Crystal Ball - Has An Equal Chance Of Being A Master Ball, Ultra Ball, Great Ball, Pokeball, Or Not Working
--------------------

DRATINIS MAY NOT BE CAUGHT ANYWHERE IN THE CAPTURE CENTER!!

When you catch a Pokemon, you get a free bred-on move OR TM (A TM can be GSC TMs/HMs, RBY TMs/HMs, Stadium 1/2 moves, and Crystal move tutor move). Then, at Levels 10, 20, etc., you get a free TM. If you start at or over level 10, you get your bred-on move/TM and your Level 10 TM.

You can't repost unless we skip you.

Post where you are in the center every time you post.

Quote the reffing when you post, too. Don't quote the entire post, just your part.

Don't put where you are in the subject line.
If you do not follow these rules, we will skip you until you repost with the correct format (shouldn’t be too hard considering that I created a form to use).

Absolutely no hinting pokémon. (ie. I'll ask that Pikachu if he has seen a Flygon anywhere). That is not allowed. Doing it continuously could result in a permanent ban from the center. You'll be warned if you do it once, but do it again after the warning and you're at risk.

Also, no complaining/pestering the ref about how your update was done. Most of our workers use randomizers to choose Pokemon. And if things don't go your way, its for a good reason, since a game that's too easy isn't very fun, lol. Though, if you feel like a worker is constantly picking on you, please PM one of the owners.

When refering to Pokemon by nicknames, please place the type of Pokemon it is in parentheses.

Every Monday, Pokeballs, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls will be given out. Post to say you wish to recieve them. You can't have more than one of each kind, and we aren't forcing you to take them.

Requoting again to prevent the others from digging round in the old topic.

Movement out of the corner of your eye catches your attention. You watch as a seedot dashes for a hiding place as you hear squawks of glee. You look up in the air, and see a natu and a murkrow playing a game of aerial tag, and the natu is it. What will you do?

Forest

Aww, cute ^_^ But I think I'll leave them to their little game and continue on.

andyizcool~
Grabbing Arcanine's Poké Ball, you quickly hold it out and return your rampaging Pokémon before nervously pulling out Haunter's Poké Ball and sending out the ghost to speak to the whimpering Dark type.
Haunter giggles in the awkward silence before drifting over to the Mightyena and begins to mutter an apology, emphasising that it was all of Arcanine's fault, and not his or yours.
The Mightyena frowns slightly, and glances over at you, but before anything else can happen, there's a roar, and another Mightyena, and a group of about five Poochyena comes tearing into the room. They must have been what the Mightyena was howling too earlier.
What are you going to do?

Linc~
Ignoring the two Pokémon, you set off swimming again, pacing yourself, all the time looking round for any other Pokémon that may interest you.
A bright flash of blue catches your eye as a Marshtomp suddenly surfaces; it looks round briefly, before shaking the water off its head before diving down again.
Curious, you duck under the water and see it paddling around, a few metres down; just past it, you also spot a couple of Tentacool floating in the water.
What are you going to do?

Sheik~
Laughing out loud, you quickly grab a Poké Ball from your pocket and throw it at the trembling little mouse-type thing. There's a flash and the Cyndaquil vanishes; the ball shakes once, before it gives up and lets itself be caught.

Congratulations!
Cyndaquil F L10

Smirking to yourself, you scoop up the ball and flash a triumphant grin at your other Pokémon, who all smile back, pleased to have a new team-mate.
What are you going to do now?

Wild Eevee~
Hitmontop cheers happily as you smile and say that you'd be happy for him to tag along, before he sudenly kneels down and begins to pat Poochyena enthusiastically on the head, still smiling happily.
Poochyena puts up with this for a bit, before wriggling away and glancing at you with a look that says;
'What the?'
Hitmontop doesn't seem any nearer to calming down, and his sqeuals of delight disturb a couple of Houndour, who pad past, rolling their eyes at you.
What are you going to do now?

[Wolfsong]

Sneasel(h)Obsessive

Not wanting to interrupt the pair's aerial game, you smile at their antics and continue on. As you make your way through the forest, you have to be careful of your step so that you dont trip over any roots. You narrowly avoid tripping over one that you didn't notice until the last minute. As you steady yourself against the tree trunk, you look up to find that a hoothoot and a swablu are holding wings. There is a bulbasaur on the ground, and you notice it out of the corner of your eye, staring wistfully at the pair. What will you do?

I don't want to upset these Pokemon like I did to the Mightyena before because we are really sorry. I'll get Haunter to use his Ghost powers to somehow get the attention of the Poochyena and Mightyena. While they're busy I'll make a quick run for it deeper into the caverns. I'll recall Haunter to his Pokeball when I'm at a safe distance from the Poochyena and Mightyena.

I'll send out Grimer, Sneasel, and Ekans to go after the Marshstomp, and Grimer will use Sludge Bomb, Sneasel will use Slash, and Ekans will use Bite.

I'll try to calm him down.

[Sheik]

I'm going to stop for a while. This will be the last time I post for a while at TPM. I won't have access to a computer after today until August 9. I might try and get on, but it's doubtful that I will before that time. I'm posting this message in all the main threads that I post in, so that everyone that could be affected by it will know. I will resume play when I return. Thanks.

[Matt]

Matt~
Smiling, you give the Delibird the reassuring hug that it needs before turning and heading off deeper into the Forest.
After about ten minutes of solid walking, you catch a glimpse of something shimmering ahead; moving forwards carefully, you see a swarm of Volbeat swooping through a clearing; a Yanma is also with the swarm-it seems to be hypnotised by the swamrs movements and their light.
What are you going to do?

Forest

oh no. I'll try not to be hypnotised by the Volbeats and continue in the forest. :x

Forest

Hmm, tempting, especially that Bulbasaur o_O But no, I'll ignore them and continue on.

andyizcool~
Haunter frantically listens to your muttered instructions, before nodding and using its ghost powers in the only way it can think of... By launching a Shadow Ball at them.
Still, at least it gets their attention.
Seizing your chance, you turn and leg it as fast as you can away, turning at the last minute to quickly recall Haunter, before turning back and continuing running; behind you hear the angry howls of the back.
You're so busy concentrating on running that you don't notice where you're running... And turn to find you're bearing down on an Absol o_O
Luckily, it jumps out the way, before looking at you and raising an eyebrow.
What are you going to do?

Linc~
With a Pokémon in your sights, you send out three of yours and command them to attack.
Unfortunately, none of your Pokémon realised that they were being sent out underwater, and in a couple of seconds, they're all desperately gasping for air; after a quick refill, it's time to start again.
Grimer squirms its way in closer, before quickly launching a thick, purple ball of sludge at the Marshtomp, which doesn't have time to react before the ball explodes over its chest. Nightmare doesn't waste an instant, and dives forward for a high-speed Slash, cutting the Pokémon across its face and chest.
Lastly, Ekans lunges and latches onto it with its teeth, Biting it as hard as it can, as the Marshtomp gasps and thrashes desperately around.
What are you going to do?

Wild Eevee~
Not really happy with the noise he's making, you grab at the Hitmontop and mutter that if he's not careful then the noise he's making will attract something that he wouldn't want to see.
He pauses at that, frowns and then whispers back what it is he wouldn't want to see.
As you struggle to think up an answer to a question you weren't prepared for, Poochyena yawns at your side, before slumping across your legs and whimpering softly to itself.
Hitmontop meanwhile, seems to have got the message, despite you not answering his question and steps back, nods, before pointing along the path and grinning at you and winking.
What are you going to do?

Sheik~
Ok, bye, see you when you get back^_^

Matt~
Quickly lowering your eyes to avoid having to look at the Volbeat, you hurridly press on, and soon find yourself out of the glow.
Continuing on, you gradually begin to hear a faint cry from above... Then another... Then another.... And then.
Next second, a massive cloud of Wingull comes swooping down from the sky, perching on the branches of the trees, all the while screaming and cawing to their hearts content.
The noise disturbs a Treecko that was foraging through the undergrowth, and as it rushes past, you suddenly jump back in shock as an Armaldo emerges from behind some trees, glaring at the Wingull angrily.
What are you going to do?

South Caverns

I'll say sorry to the Absol because I didn't mean to run into it and nearly hurt it. I'm just going to have to keep running deeper into the cavern because those Poochyena and Mightyena might still be on their way. I need to find a place to keep safe from scary wild Pokemon deeper in this cavern.

[Wolfsong]

Sneasel(h)Obsessive

Though tempted by the bulbasaur, you continue your search for your future team member. As you walk, you notice a mantine O.o giving a ride through the air to a little shroomish. You watch the odd lookign scene for a minute before you hear a shrill cry for help. Turning you head, and looking at the source of the sound, you notice a familiar skarmory trying for a weedle lunch this time. What will you do?

andyizcool

Shouting an apology, you continue running through the caverns. Looking backwards, to see if you're being followed, you dont notice the puddle of water on the floor until you've hit it and went skidding. You come to a stop inches from a slowpoke, who hasn't even noticed you yet. A numel watches with an absentminded look on its face, and out of the corner of your eye you see a medicham meditating. What will you do?

I guess I'll find a rock close by to hide behind. From there I should be able to watch the Pokemon and see what they do. If they do nothing interesting maybe my Haunter could play a few tricks on them all.

Its Monday again so can I have an Ultra Ball, Grat Ball, and PokeBall? I'll tell my Pokemon to attack once more, then I'll throw an Ultra Ball at the Marshstomp.

We'll keep going in that direction.

[aragornbird]

Andy - You dash behind a nearby boulder and study the reactions of the other Pokemon. But the Numel and Slowpoke are too absentminded to notice anything and the Meditite is still busy concentrating. You send out your Haunter to pull some pranks on the unsuspecting Pokemon. The ghost pushes the Meditite over, startling it badly. It then picks up the Numel and drops it on the Slowpoke, but their reactions are so slow that they don't do anything. Still, the Haunter laughs, until the angry Meditite blasts it with a Confusion attack.
What will you do next?

Linc -
Sure, you get your Balls.
Your Pokemon get ready to ue their attacks again, but not before resurfacing for another breathe of air. The Marshtomp gets mad and strikes your Ekans with Tackle, knocking it back down. But Nightmare Slashes it once more, making red marks all over its back. Now Grimer spews sludge all over its face, blinding it temporarily while Ekans sinks its fangs into the Marshtomps arm. Believing it to be weakened enough, you hurl a Ultra Ball at it. When the Marshtomp is sucked in, the Ball floats to the surface. The light has already gone out and you know you've successfully captured it.
Congrats! You captured a Marshtomp (Lv. 13, Male)
What will you do next?

Wild Eevee - You continue on upstream, with the Hitmontop walking along in silence and the Poochyena following it. After a while, the Poochyena barks happily and dashes forward. You and Hitmontop run to catch up and meet a friendly-looking Houndour. The Poochyena is glad to have found another Dark-type dog and the two begin a barking conversation.

Forest

Bingo^_^ I'll do what I should have done before, by running over to that oh-so familiar Skarmory and send out Deveus (Houndoom L17 M) who'll launch a barrage of Embers at it.
Once it's weakened, I'll send out Pock (Poochyena L14 M) and have him use Yawn to put Skarm' to sleep, before throwing an Ultra Ball at it.

South Caverns

I'll get my Haunter to battle the Meditite while I remain hidden behind the boulder calling out the commands. Haunter can fire a few Shadow Balls at the Meditite to show it Haunter's not a whimp.

[aragornbird]

Hannah - The Skarmory is about to munch on the poor Weedle when your Houndoom growls at it. Angry at Deveus for disrupting its lunch, the metal bird swoops at him. But Deveus spews flaming hot Embers at the Skarmory's face, scorching it and knocking it backwards. Nonetheless the Skarmory retaliates with a fierce Peck into Deveus's side. Next you send out your Poochyena, who quickly opens his mouth to yawn loudly. The Skarmory instantly feels woozy and collapses onto the ground. You finally toss an Ultra Ball at the sleeping bird and easily catch it.
Congrats, you caught a Skarmory (Lv. 15, Male).
What will you do next?

Andy - Beginning the battle, the Haunter forms an orb of ghostly energy and blasts it at the Meditite, knocking it into the wall. The Meditite is hurt, but does not attack back. Instead, it picks up a rock and throws it at the Haunter. The rocks passes through it and hits you on the head instead. Ouch. Rubbing your sore forehead, you see the Meditite running away into the darkness.

We think to ourselves, what a weak Pokemon to just run away from a Pokemon Battle like that. Haunter and I will chase after it because no one's getting away from us that easily.

You and Haunter quickly dash after the Meditite, rubbing your sore head as you you try to gain speed. Haunter laughs at the growing bump on your head, not trying very hard at all to stifle his laughter. You roll your eyes. Suddenly, the Meditite comes into view. Its standing there, waiting. As you call for your Haunter to attack, several Meditite come out from the shadows, all grinning. What do you do?

South Caverns

An ambush attack on us again, these Pokemon will pay for their tricks. I'll send out my Arcanine to use Flamethrower on them all while Haunter can fire a few Shadow Balls at them all. Hopefully they'll see they shouldn't be messing with us because Haunter and Arcanine work well together.

[Linc]

Linc -
Sure, you get your Balls.
Your Pokemon get ready to ue their attacks again, but not before resurfacing for another breathe of air. The Marshtomp gets mad and strikes your Ekans with Tackle, knocking it back down. But Nightmare Slashes it once more, making red marks all over its back. Now Grimer spews sludge all over its face, blinding it temporarily while Ekans sinks its fangs into the Marshtomps arm. Believing it to be weakened enough, you hurl a Ultra Ball at it. When the Marshtomp is sucked in, the Ball floats to the surface. The light has already gone out and you know you've successfully captured it.
Congrats! You captured a Marshtomp (Lv. 13, Male)
What will you do next?

Lake

I'll recall my Pokemon and move to the East Caverns.

[*Murkrow]

Hannah - The Skarmory is about to munch on the poor Weedle when your Houndoom growls at it. Angry at Deveus for disrupting its lunch, the metal bird swoops at him. But Deveus spews flaming hot Embers at the Skarmory's face, scorching it and knocking it backwards. Nonetheless the Skarmory retaliates with a fierce Peck into Deveus's side. Next you send out your Poochyena, who quickly opens his mouth to yawn loudly. The Skarmory instantly feels woozy and collapses onto the ground. You finally toss an Ultra Ball at the sleeping bird and easily catch it.
Congrats, you caught a Skarmory (Lv. 15, Male).
What will you do next?

Forest

Alright^_^ Rage will have Drill Peck as his bred on move, and Curse as his L10 TM.
I think I'll stop here, I've got what I came out for

andyizcool~
Without hesitation, Arcanine and Haunter spring to the attack; Arcanine spewing out streams of red hot flames that cascade into a couple of the Meditite, causing them to scream and back off.
While his partner concentrates on them, Haunter focuses and creates a ball of purple energy that he sends plummeting into another of the Meditite, before switching to another and repeating the procedure.
By no the Meditite are in disarray and rapidly retreat, leaving behind the original one, who stares at you silently.
What are you going to do?

Linc~
With a new Pokémon safely stowed away, you resurface before deciding to try out you luck in the East Caverns.
10 minutes later, you're standing at the entrance to the caves, refreshed and eager to encounter some more Pokémon; entering, you folow the tunnel as it twists and turns, before finally it opens up into one the of the many, large, open caverns.
There's a Heracross over on the other side, which is acting rather.. oddly. It's pacing along the wall, alternately tapping the rock with its horn, then stopping and listening, then pacing a couple of steps to the side and trying again.
As you watch, you also notice a Makuhita and a Sableye following its movements as well.

I'll return Haunter and Arcanine to their Pokeballs for a rest after doing such a good job. I'll leave the Meditite quietly to think about what it's done by luring us into a trap. I'll advance in a different direction than the other Meditite to avoid them and go deeper into the cavern.

East Cavern

I'll watch them for awhile to see what Poochyena does.

I'm sorry, but I met to move to the South Caverns ^^;, so I'll decide to move there. Don't be mad at me! ;_;

[*Murkrow]

andyizcool~
Happy with what your Pokémon managed to do, you hold out their Poké Balls and in an instant they're transformed into red light and zapped inside.
Deciding to leave the lonely Meditite so it can ponder over what it's done, you turn round and scan the area for another exit.
Eventually, you notice what seems to be a gap in the rock face, so you head over, take a deep breath, and squeeze through.
After a couple of seconds struggle, you finr yourself through and face to face with a rather curious looking Baltoy who is hovering up and down in front of you. Behind it, you also notice a couple of Unown swooping round, forming random letters in the air.
What are you going to do?

Wild Eevee~
Keeping to the shadows slightly, you and Hitmontop hang back, watching Poochyena carefully.
The two dark Pokémon seem rather oblivious to anything other than their little conversation, and happily continue to bark at each other, when suddenly, Poochyena's head snaps up as it notices something lurking behind the Houndour. Whimpering slightly, it lowers its head and looks round for you, before stumbling back to your side.
Behind it, the Houndour is staring forlornly at Poochyena, completely oblivious as an Altaria emerges from the shadows and glides over-head.
What are you going to do?

Linc~
Mad? Me? Course not... *Ahem* ~_^

Feeling slightly embarrassed at your mistake, you quickly spin round and set off at a run towards the South Caverns; the three Pokémon you left behind look up, frown and at each, before shrugging and returning to their activities.
Out of breath, you finally arrive at the South Caverns and stumble inside.
As your eyes adjust to the gloom, the first thing you see is a tiny little Ralts sitting in the middle of the path, looking around with a rather lost look.
It doesn't seem to have noticed you, and as you get closer, you catch a glimpse of another Pokémon lurking alongside it; an Umbreon, which glances up and hisses quietly when it spots you.
What are you going to do?

I think I'll sit down on the rocky floor to talk to the Baltoy because I deserve a rest after some long walking getting down here. I'll also watch the Unown and see if all the letters will spell out anything interesting. I wonder what the Baltoy wants to talk about?

[*Murkrow]

Ok, this'll be the last time I update for a week, seeing as I've got a biology trip with no access to the computer. Just thought I'd say here^_^

andyizcool~
Collapsing onto the floor for a rest, you grin at the Baltoy before turning your attention to the Unown. To your surprise, they have now formed the words 'rest' and 'tired'.
Wondering if that is too much of a coincidence, you look back at the Baltoy and see that it's still staring at you, and looking rather pleased with itself... before motioning for you to look again at the Unown's. You do and now they've formed the word 'coincidence'.
Next second, the Baltoy nudges your arm and a thought emerges in your mind;
'I'm good at reading minds. Why are you here?'
What are you going to do?

Wild Eevee~
As the Altaria swoops overhead, the Houndour finally latches onto the fact that something's not quite right and spins round, following your gaze upwards.
Instantly, the friendliness that it exhibited while talking to Poochyena vanishes and it snarls, baring its teeth up at the Altaria, who looks down, frowning.
There's a brief few seconds of piece, before the Houndour lets out another snarl and shoots a stream of flame up at the Dragon Pokémon, who easily dodges and dives down.
As the two pan round for another attack, Hitmontop nudges you and mutters if you'd like t take a bet on who'll win.
But before you can answer, the Altaria cannons into the Houndour, knocking it flying, until it crumples onto the cave floor.
What are you going to do?

I think to myself why I'm here because the Baltoy will understand if it's reading my mind. I'm here to uncover the mystery of the South Caverns and I will keep going deeper to reach my goal. If I find any Pokemon on the way that I like and they trust me, I'll try to capture them. I guess the Unown are trying to tell me that I should rest here with the Baltoy for some time. Maybe the Baltoy wants to help me in some way so I'll listen.

An Umbreon! Just what I want! I'll send out my Sneasel, Marshstomp, Ekans, and Grimer to attack (I know, it's a lot but I'm not letting this guy get away)! Sneasel will use Slash, Marshtomp will use tackle and Water Gun, Ekans will use Bite(even though it won't do much), and Grimer will use Sludge Bomb!

[pokemasterfrank]

Have fun on the Bio Trip

andyizcool
Everyone has to try uncovering the secret at least once or something, don't they? o_O

The Baltoy probes your again, and begins to laugh. You think "why is it laughing". It replies, "Oh...no reason." You observe the Baltoy, watching the strangely shaped Pokemon sit there on its torso, its long arms shaking as it tries to stifle it's laughter. You begin to stare strangely as the Baltoy begins to speak telepathically again. "Listen, forget about my laughing. Just thought of something funny, thats all. Anyway, if you want, I'll help you on your quest..." Do wish to trust this Baltoy? What do you do?

Linc
Wow...you be overdoing it...

Eyeing a favorable Pokemon, you quickly call for four of your Pokemon. Sneasel, Marshtomp, and Ekans quickly dash up to the dark Pokemon. Sneasel dives in first, its scythe-ish appendages flashing as it dives toward the Umbreon. The Umbreon dodges the Slash attack, jumping on and over Sneasel's head. Ekans dives in, latching its teeth onto the pure-Dark type Pokemon. The teeth crackle with black sparks, the dark energy radiating from the attack. Umbreon tosses Ekans off...right into the path of your Marshtomp. Marshtomp crashes into Ekans, letting its body weight fall onto...Ekans and Sneasel? o_O The Umbreon has disappeared. Grimer, only following your orders, fires a Sludge Bomb into the dog pile, covering all with sludge x_o Suddenly, Umbreon appears behind Grimer, striiking Grimer with dark energy. What do you do?

I've decided to trust the Baltoy because it might be a good joker along the way. The Baltoy can lead us deeper into the caverns because hopefully we can find something. I'm keeping in mind if this is a trick, because the Baltoy was laughing before, I have my Haunter ready.

Darn XP. I'll tell Ekans to Wrap around the Umbreon to keep it still, but leave its head open for attack, while Sneasel uses Slash, Marshstomp will use Water Gun, and to finish, Grimer will use Sludge Bomb. I hope this works ^^;

[Cheesey]

I have one more spot to fill on my team of captured pokemon and I know what I'm looking for. I'd like to go to the Desert, please. ^_^

Man, it feels weird posting to get updated and not to update others. XD

[Linc]

Hey guys! I'm gonna be going camping tomorrow, and I won't be back till the 16th or 17th, so I'll see you all later! Bye!

~Linc (you won't see my annoying words for another week! yay! :3)

[aragornbird]

Wild Eevee - The Altaria growls fiercely. It may look like a gentle Pokemon, but it's very strong. You walk over to the Houndour and see that it has a nasty bruise on its side. Seeing this makes the Poochyena mad. How dare that bird hurt its friend! It growls back at the Altaria, but Hitmontop bounces over and holds it back, saying its no match for an evolved Dragon type.
What will you do next?

Andy - The Baltoy's eyes glow brightly. "Sure, I'd love to follow you as you explore these caves." You continue marching forward for a bit, before the Baltoy taps you on the shoulder. "Hey, wanna here a joke? Why did the Torchic cross the road?" You think for a second before answering, "To get to the other side?" The Baltoy gasps, "How did you know that?!?" You merely shake your head and groan.
While the Baltoy laughs and laughs, a slender figure appears. It's a majestic Gardevoir with a Natu on her shoulder!
"Hey, keep that thing quiet, will you? You're disturbing our nap!" it shouts.
"Yeah, disturbing our nap!" the Natu repeats, like a parrot.
What will you do next?

Linc - Ok, have a good trip!
The snake Pokemon obeys and springs at the Umbreon, coiling around it's body. But the Umbreon's legs are still free and it jumps wildly around like a wild horse. Sneasel leaps forward and successfully Slashes its forehead, but its claws slip and manage to slash Ekans as well. Meanwhile, Marshtomp tries to blast it with a Water Gun. The Umbreon jumps behind Sneasel, who gets the brunt of the watery attack. It stumbles back and falls on Ekans and Umbreon. Finally, Grimer slides over and throws a large glob of sticky poison on the three Pokemon, trapping them under its Sludge Bomb attack. Hmmm...interesting. With an Ekans squeezing its torso, a wet Sneasel on top of its back, and a huge glop of poison over everything, it's getting pretty angry...
What will you do next?

Cheesey - Hey, welcome back!
You stretch your arms and take a deep breath before entering the Desert to look for your next Pokemon. You walk into the sweltering region, shielding your eyes against the harsh sun. You look forward and see something move steadily towards you. Ah, it's a Pokemon welcoming commitee, how nice! A large Magcargo slides forward with a Mawile and a Lileep on its back.
What will you do next?

[Cheesey]

Desert

I'll say "Hi!" to them, and I'll thank them for welcoming me into the area. Then I'll talk to them for a while, and ask them if there's any water nearby, in any shape or form! Then, if there is, I'll make my way over to it; If there isn't, I'll just carry on anyway. ^^;
