Understandable. By the way, I only have one more post, but I got a question. Might've been answered already, but I'm curious. Did you ever actually beat the Elite Four? And the Champion? And if we do the same here, does that make C better than you? Technically? "I have, actually. As much as...a Wishmaker can, at least. I believe Crimson saw a memory of that very event himself, early on in his journey. Like I said earlier, Clauren had interfered with the dream world before this point...and this is the first time I manipulated it in a certain way to bring you straight to me...now, about Crimson being better than me-" Crimson lunges towards Clauren, trying to rip his face off whilst casting Zone of Truth. "Ah, stop! That's my real face!" Clauren dusts himself off, as he gets back onto his face. "What I stand to gain from this is fairly simple: enjoyment from watching pure anarchy envelop Kanto, out of pure boredom. See, I'm one of those 'watch the world burn' guys, and you've been trail-blazing a path through Kanto that brought even a smile to Claude's face. In a way, it fills his original desire to bring disorder to the region, and I think he wanted to pass it down to you, too. And if you don't accept my offer, I'll just pass it down to my other candidate...and disorder will reign regardless." "However", he says, grabbing one of the Pokeballs off his belt, "You have to earn the title. If you choose to accept my offer, you must win against me in a Pokemon Battle, with the very pokemon Claude left me with. No holds barred. Perhaps even a little beyond a simple battle of mons. There's no repercussion for losing...unless you count having to take the Domeocracy down with your own hands. Oh, and you have no choice in the battle. I've been itching to battle you regardless on if you accept my offer or not. I'd still have a reward prepared, it's just...that's just the kind of guy I am." "So...what will you do now?"

C: Cast True Seeing on yourself.
Clauren: Realize how much it sucks to get bones pulled out of your mouth.

C: Beat Clauren in a Pokémon battle. Then dab. I'm not actually posting yet, but you and Koop should team up and just suggest '[protagonist wins]' in every CYOA on here.

You cast True Seeing on yourself, looking over the immediate area of this mansion. There's no hidden passages, and Clauren looks completely normal...but you find that you're able to see Monika a bit more clearly now. She looks...not much like Monika. In fact, she looks exactly like that girl from the picture frame.
"It's fine...you can take your time. Do whatever you feel needed to get yourself prepared. Give me a search-over, call your friends, turn off the stove, walk the dog, eat a bagel-"
Indeed, you are now eating a bagel.
"-Maybe blow your nose or clear your throat first. And perhaps even get a glass of water, you always have to stay hydrated. Or...I know you're about to-"
Aaaaand there's the dab.
"Like I said, take your time. Though if you start delaying for the fun of it, I'll probably just start the battle anyways."

Question the meaning of normal, then challenge Clauren to a baking competition like the kind Phox's mom watches.

You decide...that the best way to challenge another Wishmaker would be to do so in the least 'normal' way that you can...soooo...you decide-
"Baking and battling? An odd choice, but I can manage." In one hand, Clauren is holding a sauce pan, and in the other, a Pokeball. Conveniently, there's now two kitchen set-ups in the room. One for each battler. "If you insist on adding more to the mix, I'll have to warn you that oh okay, go talk to our dear friend here. She has been awfully quiet, I suppose."
You make your way over to this girl, quite curious about who she is...exactly. She hesitates...but when she's ready to speak, her voice comes off as confident and firm. And...a little agitated.
"So was it worth running off ahead of me back there? You should be thankful I didn't get hurt!"

The theme for this baking challenge is....surprises! Use unusual combinations of flavor that work well together to win!
Oh yeah also the girl can be the judge of this, and also ask her name since she deserves a proper introduction.

Hey Clauren, you're fat!

"Well, that's not very nice. You wouldn't appreciate me coming over to your house and calling you fat, now would you?" You engage the girl in some more polite conversation because you guys really like slowing down the CYOA to a crawl you're rather curious about her origins. So...you ask her your name. "I really didn't want to get this involved, you know...but you deserve some kind of explanation for this mess, I suppose. My name is Alice. Not really...groundbreaking for a name, I know, but it's what my parents named me. They always said I was a pretty healthy kid, though...and then I caught a rather unpleasant disease. Uncurable, even. There's no reason I should be alive, but...here I am. Talking to you. My mom was a kind woman, quick on her feet, and very nurturing to caring to a lot of people, not just myself. Also a bit of a gambler. My dad...is somebody that nobody, not even myself, can remember. And he dissapeared after I was cured. I never found out what happened until today." "I came here under the impression that this was the only lead I had...and I took certain precautions to hide my face doing so. But Clauren saw through that. He could see into my soul who I was before we even reached him, and brought me here to fill in the blanks. Nobody could remember my father because he used the power of alchemy. Giving something, and taking something away...he cured me of my disease in exchange for his identity, and was forced to roam the land as a man with no face. I was told he...lost interest in the world. With no sense of worth, there was no reason for him to even exist. So he started acting out of curiosity, not caring about any repercussions to himself. 'What would happen if I tried doing this?' He started doing some terrible things...kidnapping, identity fraud, extortion, fusion rape...it was all just some kind of game to him, and one kidnapping later...he lost. He's not my father in mind or body anymore, which is disheartening. But...at least I can say I know what happened, now." You ask Alice if she'd like to judge the baking competition. "...I'm not really in the mood to, no. I was just told some pretty heavy stuff, and I barely even kno-" WALUIGI WILL JUDGE THE BAKE-OFF. AS THE MOST EXPERIENCED CHEF IN THE ROOM, WALUIGI IS THE ONLY ONE FITTING ENOUGH TO GIVE AN UNBIASED OPINION.

Kick Waluigi out of the dreamscape for being racist to Elphe people. Also, send out Mine Turtle. Don't forget to start baking too

I agree with Phox's choice of starter, but don't kick out Waluigi. Summon Gordon Ramsay as a second judge instead.

Oshalite proceeds to lose. While your first thought is to kick Waluigi out for Racism, your second thought is to...not do that. After all, he did say earlier he wasn't racist. He just doesn't like the color green for personal reasons. That's like saying you don't like the color black, but you still respect all- "What the hell is going on here?" Gordan Ramses yells out. Nemesis Sudou, who's as confused as he is, offers a mere shrug. Claude clears his throat, addressing the room. "So, three judges! This will make things nice and fair. Now, if we have no other reason to delay our bout..." Kalos Champion Clauren would like to battle!Clauren sent out Celesteela! C sends out Mine Turtle! And the baking portion of the competition starts as Clauren starts by dashing over to the counter of his setup, pulling out a piece of chicken along with some ground beef, and pulling out a tenderizer from one of the utensil drawers. You, uhm... Yeah nobody really suggested what to make. C's Pokemon: Mine Turtle (100/100) Buttertwo (150/150 Ryochu (100/100) Rumia (80/80) Eevee (20/20) Bec Noir (999/999) Clauren's Pokemon: Celesteela (350/350) ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

The clear first choice is to make a delicious soap cake. It's just like normal cake, except instead of sugar, you use dish detergent. It's a Paper Mario thing.
Mine Turtle: Slam yourself right into Celesteela. Button first.

C: Start playing Octopath Traveler and give commands to your Pokémon using only voiceclips from that game.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great — You have no power over me.

You respond to Clauren confidently, "Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great — You have no power over me."
"OK", he responds, applying the seasoning to the chicken using a variety of sauces. Before Mine Turtle can even attempt to jump at Celesteela, though, the giant pokemon's Prankster ability procs, and uses Spore, the spores instantly putting Mine Turtle to sleep. You don't even get to use voice clips from Octopath, but mostly because I didn't even know that game HAD voice-acting!
Brow sweating, you bring your attention back to your cooking station and Volca-no. You really want to, but you can't bring yourself to do so. It's not what the people want, for once. No, they require a cake made out of Soap Detergent. So you magically pull 999 Tide Pods out from the Ether and smash them all together, instantly creating a multi-layered Tide Pod Wedding Cake with beautiful orange frosting on one side, and blue frosting on the other. The judges haven't even tried it yet, and you can already hear their remarks..."That looks absolutely DISGUSTING! You call yourself a chef?" "Hey, mother, even terrible chefs should be given a second chance, right?" ...WALUIGI IS INTRIGUED.
Well, things could be worse. It's only the first turn, right?

Well, since it's already been brought up...
Create a beautiful upside-down cake out of volcano bakemeat, and combine it with the wedding cake to make an even more beautiful multi-tiered upside-down bakemeat tide cake.

Loudly state "My focus is unparalleled!!" and then cast Fire Storm on the cake to give it a crispy outer layer.
"May a great inferno SCORCH the land!"

Like maybe combine the two cakes so it's like an upside down wedding cake on top of a regular cake with like cool columns and crap

Clauren: Read Cloture of Yellow and summarize it to the CYOA posters.
Yes, Xeno, this means you need to read Cloture of Yellow too. ^_^
