MOCK EXPLORATION: DUNGEON EXPLORATION

So you've been going about your new lives as Pokemon for the past week... which you may or may not have gotten entirely used to by now, but at least it's not as bad as things were when you first woke up. You haven't really gotten many leads on why this happened or how to change back, outside of, perhaps, conversations with Kangaskhan and Wigglytuff... but even then, it was kind of vague and unhelpful, outside of the lead of these... "Mystery Dungeons."

And, as luck would have it, Wigglytuff and Kangaskhan seem to want you all to gather in the center of town! They say it's an opportunity for you all to get experience with Mystery Dungeons... and maybe a little bit of treasure on the side, too. Who knows, it might even give you answers! ...I mean, probably not, since you're in the tutorial dungeon phase, but hey. It's worth a shot, right?

So, when you arrive at the center of Pokemon Square, you'll find the familiar faces of Wigglytuff and Kangaskhan there, but also a distressed-looking Butterfree and Metapod. Kangaskhan is quietly comforting the two unfamiliar Pokemon, while Wigglytuff addresses you directly...

"Hey, friends! I figure since you're new and here under some pretty weird circumstances, you might wanna take care of this. See, Ms. Butterfree's kid Caterpie's gone missing, and since they're my friends, I want to help! They're pretty sure he's lost in a Mystery Dungeon, and since he hasn't been gone that long... it's probably pretty easy for some new people to take care of.

So, since you're probably gonna want to go through Mystery Dungeons to figure out what's happening with you friends, I figured this would be a good way to get you started! You're probably gonna want to split into four teams of five to deal with things. I'll answer some questions for you, and then I'll take you where we think the Mystery Dungeon is!"

Hahhh...

[Gon will just. Try to get Zan on his back.] Let us simply move on, then, and focus...We have our mushroom- let us try the chest.
moonfang: (really.)

[Zangetsu manages to scramble back up on Gon's back, while still holding the mushroom, while paralyzed! ugh. that was hard]

You don't happen ta have anything in that bag of tricks of yours, do ya, Gongenzaka?
betheman: (-3- hrmnnnnnn)

[personal profile] betheman 2019-03-09 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Hmnn...I brought Oran berries and Reviver seeds.. I have other things, but....

[But...Pecha berries? If Kangaskhan warned him ahead of time he will....]
betheman: (MMMMMTHAT LOOKS BAD)

[personal profile] betheman 2019-03-09 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mn...If I recall correctly, Cheri berries would help...

[But see those seeds weren't cheap, and...] ...Unfortunately, I, the man Gongenzaka, do not have any..

....if we spy what resemble cherries that will be what we need.

[For now though, he'll start bringing Zangetsu to the chest.]
whatsmytalentagain: (I just don't wanna miss you tonight)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2019-03-09 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep an eye out for them.

[He'll follow Gon, then.]
whatsmytalentagain: (And I'm not afraid)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2019-03-09 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... Maybe we could line up the mushroom with the image?

[personal profile] becauseyou 2019-03-09 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)


Yeah, try that. Who knows, maybe the mushroom itself is the key!

...Or something, I dunno!

[ Natsuki's just kinda guessing at this point ]
moonfang: (you got me)

[personal profile] moonfang 2019-03-09 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dang. Well it was worth a shot, “cherry” berries, huh? So do they look like cherries? Anyway, by now he’s skewered the mushroom like a kebab on the smaller blade and he looks at the chest.

Then at the others, with an incredulous expression
]

Ya want ME ta do somethin’? Ya realize I can’t move too good, right? You guys figure it out.

[ He tosses the mushroom at the chest]
betheman: (:0)

[personal profile] betheman 2019-03-09 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Mnn! A berry! [Gongenzaka immediately picks that up to pass to Zangetsu...tricky, when quadrupedal. With a glance to the bottle he adds-] Auh...

We should take that as well. Though be careful, handling it...
moonfang: (CAEK)

[personal profile] moonfang 2019-03-09 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoo!! I'm the best at Mystery Dungeon! [he takes the berry from Gon and pops it in his mouth] Ack! It's kind of spicy. Wasn't expectin' that... [but he can feel his muscles loosening up and the annoying tingling going away. Success!

He gestures to the bottle
]

Those are the spores that came outta the mushroom. It's prob'ly important. Someone with more uh... delicate hands... should put it in Gon's bag.

...Fine. I'll do it.

[ Natsuki hops off of Rantaro's back to waddle over to the chest and delicately picks up the bottle before waddling over to put it in Gon's bag. Shortly afterwards, the Jigglypuff loses her balance and rolls over onto her back. In the mud. ]

...I hate this...!
whatsmytalentagain: (They can't tell me who to be)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2019-03-09 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah!

[He rushes over to her side, lowering his neck so she can use it to help herself up.] Are you ok?
becauseyou: (Default)

[personal profile] becauseyou 2019-03-09 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)


...

[ She holds onto his neck for leverage as she sits back upright. ]

I'm not hurt...

[ Well, her pride is hurt, but that's about it. ]
