Ask the Gemini Men which of them is better. Seconded. Also, that was a great update. Pretty much everything with the so-called Science Squad was hilarious. |

As you face off against Gemini Man, you ask them which one is the better looking.  "...You've never visited my Wiki page, have you?" Eh. You favored the third Gemini Man anyways. The Gemini Man near the elevator shoots off a Gemini Laser towards C, as the other Gemini Man near the entrance to the island jumps around C sporadically. You feel like you should let it go again, and unleash the flurry in your heat...There needs to be more snow. Gemini Man are hit by the small flurry of Powder Snow, and knocked back into a conveniently-placed open crate. You seal the crate shut, making sure to seal it closed with your Bakemeat-Brand Packing Tape™! You mark the crate to go to 'Alola' because you apparently want to make Ein salty. Sadly, you have no Mega Stones, and Alola isn't a region that's pretty big on them...so you just slap a Mega Stone-sized slab of spherical Bakemeat onto the box, and kick it off onto a nearby boat, [Silver Chariot]. You have no idea what'll happen to them, but you do get TM 217 Gemini Laser out of it. ...You know, at some point I'm probably gonna go back and ret-con all these TM numbers to be the actual Robot Masters DN's, and not just the first numbers that pop into my head. Yeah... (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ (>'-')> "Hey! Welcome back! Some wild pokemon came here recently, interested in the beans!...At least, I think they're pokemon?" "If I'm being quite honest, they look more those Ultra Beasts of yours at that! They seem interested in staying, saying this is 'a much better fate than their brethren', whatever that implies. Why don't you come back tomorrow, and see how they feel about staying then?" "By the way, your pokemon finished their excavation, and they found some real-good treasures!" *You got the Flygonite! "...What's that? You want Gemini Man and Gemini Man to work on the Berry Fields now?...That can be arranged." (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ (>'-')> It is now quite snowy on Terramort. This is a very snowy island. Perfect for December festivities. Even though it's probably not actually December in-story, but that's none of your concern- ...hold on. You hear the very...very faint iconic sound of a Pokeball whooshing through the air. And then the very un-faint sound of a Submarine approaching. As if like a clown car, dozens upon dozens of people start pouring out of the sub. Immediately they getbinto defensive position. While this is going on, you run towards the elevator that leads to the top. It's...actually pretty well-locked. There's a card key slot that something can be swiped across, but when you attempt to swipe Bakemeat through it, the swiper mechanism grows a pair of teeth and eats the Bakemeat Card. Seems you were...expected here. Of the group, one member in particular walks up to you. You recognize him immediately, but you try to explain to him you just don't have time.  "I'll make this fast, then. Take this." *You got a Key Ring and a Lucarite!"With that Key Ring and the correct Mega Stone, you'll finally be able to make your Pokemon Mega Evolve! And consider me a partner for you as long as we're here. Oh, and thanks for the snow. It should come in handy." You try indicating that you think something's going on at the top of the island, hence why you need to get into the Elevator. At this moment, you're scooped up by a Pangoro, bridal-style, as he blasts off to the top by turning his legs into jet-propulsion rockets. Quite a number of the group looks up in wonder. One immediately takes charge. Thaco.  "Alright, listen up. We may not have the benefit of knowing the layout of tgis place, but we do have the benefit of numbers, and a diverse set of abilities. Anyone that can fly, make your way up to where C is. For anyone that can't, follow me. We're going to infiltrate this place, bottom-up and top-down. They might have captives besides Fumbles and Asphoxia, so keep your eyes peeled. They'll be expecting us, so we're at a bit of a disadvantage. But that's not to say we don't have a chance. And as long as we have a chance..."  If the group were to split here, they would come into the first room of the sinister lair. A complex of rooms, most likely to confuse any that are not familiar with the hideout.  And guarding the elevator to the next floor...ha...Hard...pfft!...Hard Man. I'm so immature...(>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ (>'-')> The two of you land on the top to find someone stepping away from a nearby elevator, just outside the sphere. They cross the short walkway, a dark katana grasped in their right hand. The most distinguishing feature they have is the giant bolt in their head.  "Hey. Stein." "...You know, I'd almost wonder if some higher being had planned for this. It all seems so...convenient." Stein sighs. Guy must have had a rough day, you wonder. Your wonder turns into a hint of anger, when you suspect something about..the weapon that Stein is holding. Anyone else, if they were there posting in this CYOA, would flat-out say it then. That katana was Asphoxia. Stein raises Asphoxia decisively towards your direction. No more words need to be said. It's time to save a Phox. Stein: 1499/1500 Asphoxia: ??/?- Before you even have so much as a moment to react, Stein dashes at the speed of lighting towards you, flipping over your head with his sword. It takes a clean hit through your head. Stein then lands in front of Kratos, dives Asphoxia straight into the Pangoro's chest, and lunges upwards, cutting through the Pangoro like a winged cat through butter. He flips again, neatly landing exactly where he was standing just before.  "You know, Ein was telling me about Shadow Pokemon. He explained it like this...'To close off someone's heart is to seal them off from emotion. You must put them through so much pain, so much torment...that the only way they can ever live with themselves anymore is if they can no longer feel.' I kept wondering if the same could happen with beings besides Pokemon." "I also wondered what would happen if a Wish Maker ever got black Blood. Normally, anyone with Black Blood might be driven to madness in certain situations...but a Wish Maker could never suffer madness, for they have no conscience, and are madness incarnate. Theoretically, they would become the ultimate killing machine..."  "...Two theories tested with one stone. I'd say that's a win in my book."...There's a reason Wish Makers are so sought after. What are the after-effects of the blade hitting C's head?...and how are you going to kill Stein in one turn? |

Rock Bottom Team: Mock Hard Man's name until he dies of embarrassment.
Bop to the Top Team: The after-effects of C getting hit by the katana are that he gets hit by the katana and it hurts a bit. C doesn't like pain, so he is filled with RAGE. He then attempts to kill Stein by suddenly doing a head-spin, and then sliding into Stein, kicking him in the face a million times.
Unfortunately, his head-spin is really slow, so the rest of your group is forced to throw attacks at Stein while they wait for C to hit him. This results in a Surprise Musical Number, guest-starring Elton John and Weird Al Yankovic.

Cloacky: Portal directly to Hard Man so everyone can be lazy before they beat him up.
"Hold on. I'm fine with that, but aren't we supposedly beating this perfectly respectable person up while mocking his name? That doesn't sound very kind at all! I thought we were the good guys!"
Well you already agreed to portal us there so it's too late.
"But... but it just seems so wrong!"
Well then don't be so HARD on yourself...!
"Ew, gross."
Er, what? Wait. Wait wait no--I wasn't trying to sound... like THAT.
"No, nothing like that. It's your pun, it was absolutely disgusting. Also portals are disabled, if you forgot."
Oh wait, I did.
Oh yeah. Same.
So otherwise I second Planet.

Alright...one turn. Let's do this. Of the flyers in the group, Remilia and Flandre Scarlet are pretty quick to fly to the top. Koopario, requiring a bit of a lift, asks Lapis if it's okay she carry him, up, to which she obliges, sprouting her wings of wetness. Princess Luna extends her wings and flaps to the top, Princess Cadence following suit. Riley sends out his Salamence, whom glides him to the top. Professor Layton has a similar idea, having Threesus, your shiny Popidgeot that you lent him to take care of, fly him to the top at blinding speeds. He sends out Super Dude as well, a starman from the Kirby series with the power to leap tall building, more or less. He carries with him a lighter party member to the top...in this case, Complains-of-Names. Amethyst, being the resourceful Gem she is, polymorphs into a small bird and flies to the top, Marcus doing the same. Kirby uses his natural in-born floating abilities to puff up and float to the top, Klonoa holding dearly onto Kirby's shoes as he uses his ears to help fly up. And, finally, Dark Pit...well, I guess he still has his powers of flight intact, so he's good. Last, but not least, resident OC Megan, the black Lucario, rides her pet Hydreigon to the top. Of special note is Heinz attempting to use his jetpack to careen to the top...but it malfunctions in a comical sense. Cue pause for comedic timing. So, all in all...for people that are on top of the base: C Flamdre Scarlet Remilia Scarlet Koopario Lapis Princess Luna Princess Cadence Riley Professor Layton Complains Amethyst Marcus Kirby Klonoa Megan & Fluffly (Lucario, Hydreigon) and Dark Pit. Which leaves at the ground base: Looker 3cko the Treecko (Alex the Lucario, Mabel the Zoroark) Vivian Megaman Volnutt Carl Riley Garnet Pearl Steven Sable Conker Miles Edgeworth Paper Bowser w/ Carrie Shovel Knight Shield Knight Neku Beat Cyan (Samurott) Cid (Haxorus) Chihiro Fujisaki (sorta) Shiki Rhyme Mayu Lucas Dipper Mabel Xelbas (Lucario) Crona Zachlera (Zangoose) Pantages Dr. Cossack Snake Man Terry Hintz Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz Elluka Grunkle Ford Excalibur Bumblebee Ness Sakuya Gamzee Makara Alex the Zoroark Daedelus The Batter Cut Man Papyrus Adeline Undyne Kaden Keaton Chief Big-Ears Thaco Brock Obama There seems to be something extra...looks like two OCs in the Idle Bubble Buddy are being stirred awake! It's Notshalite and Cloacky! whom I'm bolding mostly for Oshalite's benefit. It seems they'll be heading towards the bottom. Joining back in with our top crew, we snap to Flandre taking in the scenery.  "Oh, Remy! Isn't the outside beautiful! The tall skyscrapers, the death ships flying into the Meikai and that hugs desert, that ominous tower, this volcano...I've been having so much fun exploring the Outside World!"  "Flandre, focus! They'll kick us off the team if they suspect we have better interests than the life of a close comrade." "But we do?" "Well, we're not out here sight-seeing. You know one of those 'Domecrats' involved my Mansion specifically in one of their heinous plots! The nerve, warping it from Gensokyo onto some random route in the Outside World!" "I don't personally feel it was a big deal. We got to meet so many new friends! And explore the outside world!" "First off, Flandre. We sealed you off from the main world for a reason. You've been...better, lately, but the reason still stands. Second...imagine someone taking something important to you, like your heritage, your place of residence, your...'theme song', and changing it. Placing it somewhere else...making it their own." "...Alright, but do we have to save the Goblin, too? Goblins are kinda ick." "Hmm. Those are the kinds of words outsiders say to us Youkai...you must keep your racism in check if you ever want to be a proper lady of the Scarlet Devil Mansion." "...Hey, Remy?" "...Yes, Flandre?" "What's 'racism'?...can I eat it?" "...Oh, look! The others are fighting some kind of human...and he has sicker dodges than Marisa..." Indeed, the man named Stein you were fighting was a relatively agile fellow. While I was busy focusing on this section, he had already stabbed you well-around 50 times already. You also seem to have a dotted box around your mid-section, which is cut wide open. Thankfully, the only thing stolen were one of your kidneys, and your appendix. Oh, and your lungs.  "Interesting...the subject still seems to be standing after surgical operations. You really are like Clauren...capable of loving without functioning organs! It's too bad you don't have a soul, though. Otherwise, you'd make an amazing Soul Weapon.  "...Not that I can complan with what I got." Stein holds your organs tauntingly in front of you. You take them back, and he allows it, for whatever reasons. Perhaps if only because he'd rather not have such an interesting specimen bleed itself out just yet...it'd be a fun experiment, but if he can breathe without lungs like Clauren, he can already- Oh, he's already swiping Asphoxia at Amethys. She jumps up into the air, and aims her whip downward...but he smoothly dodges the attack! As if he knew Amethyst was going to jump into the air! Amazing, almost as if he knew that was co- Oh. He has just stabbed Amethyst with Asphoxia.  "...Crud." Amethyst poofs, receding into her gem. Stein grabs the gem, none the wiser to Riley's Salamence using Hyper Beam!...which Stein barrel rolls out of the way of. Asphoxia begins glowing in a dark, horrible hue...  "...What a prize. No soul, but she should be an interesting figure to study...the ability to polymorph, with her appearance being projected from her true form...this Amethyst. Great cleavage, too! Guess I'll have to crack her open, and-"  "Wait. Hold on. Is she just...named after the stone she is? That's...but...I mean, couldn't there be other Amethysts? It's just so...!  Complains, enraged, jumps after Stein, though Stein leaps backwards. With precision, he slashes at Complains, though he's cut off by Flandre firing off several bullets in the direction of the two. He manages to stealthily avoid each and every blast, swinging Asphoxia dangerously in their direction. Quite a number of the swings deflect a large array of the bullets. Every swing punctuated by a dark aura...  "...I can already feel Asphoxia's power of shadow. This...this must be the true power of Shadow beings! Just what I need to disarm B-" Stein looks to the side, barely avoiding a swipe by Koopario. Unbeknownst to him, Marcus comes charging towards Stein from behind, his own Katana at the ready- *stab!* "..." *whack.*  Koopario had come in from behind, holding his trusty keyblade Sacred Gears, and hitting Stein with the blade. He then casts Stopza to stop Stein completely in his tracks. It seems what Marcus had pulled was no mere illusion on his part- seems he had help with the narration to make it extra convincing. How else would you beat someone that sneaks a peek too many there?  Really. Marcus deserves way more credit you people give him... Anyways, it seems C- in another act I agreed on with Marcus- was not mentioned for the past while so he could perform something extremely deadly. With his organs properly back in place (though the boy apparently opted to instead captchalogue his surgically-removed kidney?), he proceeds to charge up an extremely deadly Top Spin whereas he spins from atop his head. He'd been charging the move since he was outside narration, and he launches off 20 seconds ago, kicking in the frozen Stein's face.   This is accompanied by Weird al Yankovich and Elton John singing Roundabout by Yes in the background. You hit Stein over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over... You leave him with just 1 HP. As much as you want him dead...you feel like he deserves something else. A gentle reminder that you never mess with anyone you care about again...Before he un-freezes in time, you place down two trebuchets you've ypused in the past. A trebuchet sculpted out of Volcano Bakemeat, and a trebuchet sculpted out of ice. You take out your DNA Splicers, and grin quite madly. You almost vocally think about how awesome this is going to be...  You fuse the two, creating...Mariah, the SUPER TREBUCHET!He un-freezes in time and lands in the basket of the Trebuchet, losing grip on both Amethyst and Asphoxia. Koop calls out Asphoxia's name...or perhaps, he already did so. Either way, you're left with an only barely conscious Stein...  "...So this is how you're going to do away with me! By means of a trebuchet! Of course...what else was I expecting? Oh, and...  "...Make sure Bill Masaki pays for taking my precious Clauren. Understand?"  "..." You don't even give it a second thought. You give the order to Mariah to launch Stein as far away as possible...which is about 9,000 km of stone over 30,000 m. In other words...pretty damn far. Mariah the Trebuchet releases, sending him further than the eyes can see... ...You wonder what kind of a person Bill could truly be, if even the worst person you met has a grudge against him. (Next part of the update comes later today!) |

((I lied. It came the next day instead.)) The bottom group charges through the door leading into the first-floor room, the first thing greeting them being a PC, a Heal Station, and two doors leading to either the left or right. Tikai the Luxray uses her amazing sense of sight to see straight through the walls to the elevator dead-center in the room.  "...The quickest way through the room is behind this wall. Is anyone capable of tearing through it?"  "Hmm..." It seems there's another thing in the center room: a conveniently-placed green pad marked with the letter 'B'. "Oh! Convenient." Our little furry friend, Conker, steps up onto the pad in question, and pulls out a Bazooka. Shooting a missile at the wall, the structure is blown to smithereens...where the group is presented by this room's guardian, Hard Man!  "... Intruders!" Hard Man jumps high into the air and lands down with a thud, causing tremors to shake through the room and send the group off their balance. This works for a good majority of them, but Vivian is unaffected, as is Paper Bowser!...once the lug hops onto Carrie, anyways.  "Aw, yeah! Suck it, Hard Man!...geez, what kind of a name is Hard Man anyways? Seriously, bro, you must get some serious flak from everyone ages three and up! Haha! That kind of pain is delicious!"  "Now now, Bowser, you don't need to be so hard on him. I'm sure he's had his share of the hard life!" ".....PFFFFFT HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH-" "...What?"  I, FOR ONE, DO NOT SEE THE PROBLEM WITH HARD MAN'S NAME.
HE IS HARD LIKE BONES! AND THAT IS PRETTY OKAY WITH ME. "I don't know, it's kind of hard to beat a juicy bone in my book." "..."  "Come on, guys. Lay off Hard Man already. Not his fault Wily has a terrible sense of humor. "And why are you the one standing up for me? You're the one that brought an entire army with you!" "...Sentimentality. You're the last of my direct brothers still alive, after all." "...Wait. You mean...Magnet Man?" "Outside Celadon Mall." "Needle Man?" "Silph Co. raid." "Spark Man?" "Vermillion Gym." "Shadow Man?" "Mt. Moon." "Gemini Man?" "We sent him off to Poke Pelago just a few minutes ago." "At least tell me Top Man is okay!" "...Route 1. He was the first one to go, actually." "..." "Yeah. It must suck that, out of all of us in our direct line, I was the only one not destroyed. But I wasn't following Wily's programming in the first place." "Wily knows what's best for us! I'm not having any more of this!" Snake man leaps away as Hard Man jumps into the air and lands with a thud. Snake Man tosses several Search Snakes that explode in his face, sending bits of him everywhere and dropping TM 320 (Hard Knuckle). "...I'll make sure Cossack rebuilds Top Man first. Just for you." Behind Hard Man was yet another door, leading into the center of the room. Snake Man opens the door, showing the elevator as being in the center. Some of the group begins to pour in to the small space when the elevator begins to ascend, bringing someone along with it... he steps out of the elevator.  "Okay, so Wily's deeply invested in his work, Yumemi has the portals turned off, Saral Cain is heavily guarding his station, Goblin Slayer has Alphys detained, Ein is nearly finished with Project XD-002, and Stein...  ...is flying away from the shore of whatever we're even calling this island anymore at 80mph. Can't say I'm too surprised, the man was taking some major risks..."  "And here I am, personally greeting our guests. Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Prof. Colress. I'm a scientist looking into the potential to bring out the true strengths of pokemon. In my years of research, I've found that means to be the connection between Trainer and Pokemon..."  "...Which is why I've quickly grown disgusted with how this place operates. Closing off the heart of a Pokemon...that doesn't draw out their true potential. That just locks away the ability to bring it out...it's a mockery to my field. Stein, too...he puts me off greatly."  "However! A close colleague of mine did invite me here on great suggestion, so here I am. And it would be a shame if I wasted this opportunity to at least meet a powerful trainer..."  "I wish to battle with one of you. A pokemon battle! And, should you win...I will leave this place, and never look back. Go on! Show me the true strength between Pokemon and Trainer!"  You are challenged by Pokemon Trainer Colress! Colress sent out Magnezone! Which Pokemon Trainer should fight Colress? >Carl >Looker >Brock Obama >Steven Universe Also of equal importance is C's current position in the story. In front of him is a straight path into the main dome of the island, but further back on the cliff is an elevator leading down to Floor 6. He could go either way, but either diection would be a commitment. He wouln't be seeing the rest of the other path he could have taken for a while... What is your choice? |

Carl because... well, Carl.
That's a terrible reason.
I beg to disagree.
... wait. WAIT. OH YOU SON OF A--urghhhh!!
In fact, have Carl send out Notshalite for the battle. See what happens. Notshalite technically belongs to him, after all.
Oh no I'm not done! But... hold up, why am I always the one that has to fight?
"Pardon my interjection, but Notshalite, I thought you said that you liked fighting?"
Yeah... but I prefer winning. This situation doesn't seem very... winny.
Well I bet if you try really hard and believe in yourself you can win no matter what.
Ha ha. Sure, and tell Santa to bring me a new motorcycle for Christmas while you're at it because I've been such a good boy.
"You have a motorcycle?"
Of course not! ... but I wouldn't mind getting one.

Nopaturally, who should come up to challenge Colress but our good friend since Viridian Forest, Carl?  "...L...Listen! I might not be the strongest trainer here by a long-shot, but nobody else here's experienced quite as much personal growth! I've really had to make some tough life decisions...Overall, joining Team Rocket was not the best idea I ever had, but I'll be damned if I didn't learn anything from myself in the process!"  "Thus, you present the most to learn from. I'm impressed by your reasoning...even if this means you have a greater chance of losing." "...Not if I fight for what I believe in! Go, Notshalite!" Notshalite, of course, complains about being chosen, at first. Says that it doesn't exactly seem...win-y. Even...Colress seems surprised by the decision.  "...You gotta be-" "Now, Notshalite! Flash Stopper!" Almost instinctively, the Dewott performed a bright flash from their body. The effect so bright, it caused Magnezone to stop in place completely. It had been blinded! As the Magnezone tried getting its bearings straight, Notshalite came in with slash after slash of Razor Shell, dealing small hits that...quite quickly accumulated. After a while of this, Magnezone had regained control of itself and fired a Thunderbolt directly at Notshalite, as they went in for one final blow... A critical hit! Notshalite stood in place, the victor of the exchange. Colress' Magnezone had fallen!  "Hmm...you caught me a little off-guard there, actually. Bravo!...But you should take a look at your pokemon." While he was still standing, Notshalite had taken a sufficient amount of damage from that Thunderbolt. Without healing, they'd be as good as toast.  "Time for my next pokemon..."  "Finish him off, Electrode!" |

Send out Janga or something."Wait, but you only beat one of his team. Don't you want to keep going so you can win?I beat the stupid Magnezone; that's enough winning for me."If I was a magnet Pokémon I would be taking great offense."But you're not, so... yeah.Wow I think Notshalite is magnetist. I was just trying to be clever!Tell that to your new buddy: Discount-Bot! Discout-Bot? "I TAKE GREAT OFFENSE"Oh NO. You did NOT."Why's it called Discount-Bot?"I got it on Discount.

Suddenly, Notshalite is thrown a piece of toast! This heals their EXP exponentially. In turn, Colress has his Electrode use Rain Dance, causing rain to pour down on the battlefield...what could he be planning? The next turn, Notshalite decides to take use of the boost to water attacks, and Charges towards the Electrode, Razor Shell in hand!...whilst Colress simply makes a crushing motion with his fist. Whether or not that was an order to Electrode is unclear, but the ball follows up with a wicked Thunder! slash!CRACKLE!....Both Electrode and Dewott fall, in but the same instant.  "...I suppose that was my OWN fault for setting up Rain Dance there. Still, didn't expect both our mons to go at the same time!"  "Alright, Metagross. You're a safe bet here." In response, Carl send out his next Mon- Janga!  "Kihihi...KEHAHAH!"  "You think your pathetic machinery means ANYTHING to me? Keh...I'll 'disassemble' your team to shreds!"  "...Okay, maybe not as safe a bet as I thought. Metagross, retu-"  "Oh no, you don't!" Janga chases after Metagross as Colress throws the Pokeball to call him back, dealing a decisive blow with Pursuit. It causes Metagross to lose over half its health...  "...My, my. I can't say I was expecting that! But can you say you were expecting my Muk?...He's from Alola." Hmm...a Poison/Dark type Vs. a Poison/Dark type. This could be a particularly slow matchup. Brute force it? Or switch? (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ (>'-')>...You make sure that Asphoxia is safe. It appears that, due to whatever process was used on this island, their heart has been closed... ... You turn to the Sphere of the building. You cross the crosswalk, and try opening the front door...no response. It's incredibly sturdy, too, so it can't be kicked in. Thinking back, you remember you heard the whoosh of a Pokeball earlier...but it's not here. Or perhaps it's below? Turning to the nearby elevator, you step in.  It goes down, bringing you to a catwalk just below the sphere. It's a bit short, but two things catch your eye.  The first of which is a discarded, spherical object. Seems it was already used on something, but what?...Actually, scratch that. You think you can piece together who it was used on, and by whom. To think, if you had arrived just a bit sooner, maybe...no. It's not worth thinking about. Asphoxia will be purified...in time. More concerning...is the second thing you see. A purple-clad humanoid figure, with what appears to be a clock on their chest and alarm bells on their head.  "...Great. Someone else I need to be concerned about. Listen, your little cat friend was lucky to get away. You should just count your blessings and run along, too. That way you don't try escaping later, and we have to have a redundant second bout. Okay?" ...Yeah. That's not happening. Watdo about Time Man? |

I can move within modified time, I'll do the honors of trebucheting Time Man off if I stayed with C (which hopefully I did.)

(I am in immense pain)"Is... is Notshalite going to be all right?"Not sure. Probably. (No guys I'd seriously like a painkiller or something real quick please)"I'm... also not sure. Can we at least have someone check on him?"(Cloacky you're a PSYCHIC type! You should very well know that I know that I'm probably NOT OKAY)Hmmm... ooh! I know! Let's have Discount-Bot take a look at him! (What?)"How will that work?"Discount-Bot isn't your normal Magnemite... or at least that's what the guy in the alley told me. Supposedly it can perform in-depth "scans for stuff", I quote. "I guess I'll take your word."(No, don't. Just, don't)All right, Discount-Bot! Do your thing! (NO) "INITIATING SCAN...
...
...
NO PAIN FOUND. RETURNING TO STANDBY"Well then I guess we don't need to do anything. "Yeah... sure... I guess."(Stupid magnet)Maybe we can have Carl send out Discount-Bot? (Please do)But then again Mable hasn't seen much action. Let's send her out instead. (Pfft.)Also isn't Cloacky technically Professor Layton's Pokémon? "Details, details, details! Let's... let's, uh... focus on the battle.

...I'll take a look at Bot once we meet back up with each other for that credibility check.

In dedication of the Nintendo Switch, you decide TO switch. To Mable, that is! Janga looks a little upset about being sent back to his Pokeball, but you think you have a good idea on how this will go. Of course, Colress didn't anticipate your switch, let alone what you switched TO... "...Hmm. Knowing Muk, he's probably already decided to use..." A giant pointed stone comes out of the ground where Mable is. They take...very, VERY minimal damage from the blow. In fact, they instead stand upon the stone, cooly looking off in the distance. Remeber the Subspace Emmisary?...Yeah. That. "...I'm still getting paid for the time I spent in that Pokeball, right?" Of course, normally I'd stop the update here to let you guys suggest whether or not you want Mabel to evolve, but I think we can all agree we would want that to happen. Nonetheless...C has the Mega Stone and Keystone. Not Carl. ... As if physical presence ever stopped you.C, as he faces Time Man, raises his Key Ring and Lucarionite up into the air...which causes Mable to be wrapped in an intense energy...  ...And emerge a hell of a lot more powerful. Behold, Mega Mable!  "Oh my goodness! Mega Evolution in action! You and your Mable must have a powerful bond!"  "...However, you're gonna need more than Mega Evolution to win. Muk! You know what to do." Muk, stealthily as a pile of slime could be, extended his shadow out towards Mable, attacking with a decisive Shadow Sneak! The move didn't do a terribly large amount of damage, though, leaving Mable with only half health. Her response, a full-blown Aura Sphere, amplified by Adaptability! This left Muk with low HP...upon which, it ate it's held Liechi Berry, sharply increasing his attack! Once again, Muk proceeded to use Shadow Sneak, although the move now being...quite potent. However, Mable managed to hang on with just a little HP, not wishing to upset Carl (and perhaps thinking she could get a nice bonus out of it). She charged up yet another Aura Sphere, K.O.ing Muk! "You're doing quite wonderfully...perhaps I should match your strength with my own..." "Go on, Metagross! I know you've taken your fair share of damage, but I believe in you!" Colress then pulls out the keypad he had been using earlier to take down notes...on closer inspection, it seems there's a keystone set into the back! He raises his pad up into the air, energy gathering around Metagross...  Metagross Mega-Evolved into Mega Metagross! Mable looks at Carl quite expectantly. She looks as if she's about to cry... |

Okay, so this is probably Colress' last Pokémon, right?
Let's switch, send out Von Karma, and see what happens.

In turn, Carl appears he might cry, himself. He sends Mabel back, not wishing upon her any un-needed harm...and sends out Manfred Von Karma!...who takes a Bullet Punch to the chest, losing almost half of his health.  "...Bullet Punch. You must have some sick sense of humor, to send me out against THAT."  "Luckily, I have measures for this." Colress signals for Metagross to use something other than Bullet Punch...but unfortunately for him, and fortunately for us, it seems Taser had the unknown property of being a priority move! Sadly, it deals very minimal damage, but it is a guranteed paralyze! "...Still too early for a Full Restore. Alright, Metagross. Finish him off with-"   By all accounts, this battle should not even in the slightest be legal! After all, you are not only battling against someone using another human, but you are also willingly commanding your pokemon to attack said human being! If you were dragged to a court of law this instant, not only would you be judged for your fellow scientist's experiments here, but you'd also be harshly judged for your actions of ASSAULTING AN ESTEEMED PROSECUTOR OF LAW!...Oh, so he's from BEFORE...that. But then he referenced the...okay, you know what? Moving on. Metagross, even though he lacks ears, also lacks the Soundproof ability. And, luckily, that Boomburst crit! The Mega Pokemon is fainted! Colress calls back the Metagross...  "..."  "...You're not gonna tell me there's actually a region where humans freely use other people as pokemon...are you?  "What? Heavens, no!"  "You just remind me of this one movie I saw a while ago, Timegate Traveler. Real cult classic. It's about this Professor named Canilla, and her assistant, Doctor Strange. The two of them create a Time Machine, and the field test is a success! However, while Professor Canilla collects soil samples from the future, she soon finds out that in this future, Pokemon are the rulers of the world, and catch humans in Human Balls! One of these pokemon, a Ledian named Phillip Conchita, uses a Karate Master-" "Not to cut you short, but...are we almost done here? That HAD to have been your last pokemon if you sent out a Mega..." "...Close! I have two more left."  "And here comes one of them right now!", he says, tossing an Ultra Ball into the air. "Go git' em, Porygon-Z!" (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ (>'-')>Meanwhile, C has his own problems to deal with: Time Man. Once it becomes clear to Time Man that you're not going to budge, he throws Clock Arrows in your direction. You dodge, and then start playing Cripple Creek on a Fiddle Hastily made out of Volcano Bakemeat. Time Man puts his hands to his head, clearly frustrated. After a while of this, he seems to have enough...  "Ugh, I've HAD IT! Time Stop!" You're slowed down to a great extent. Time Man prepares to impale a Clock Arrow in your chest, when he notices too late that Koopario can move through slowed time! He pulls out Mariah, and trebuchets him through the glass and into the wild black yonder. I'm sure he'll say hi to the Hacker for us! For Koopario's troubles, Time Man drops TM 708 (Time Stop). When time un-freezes, you regain your movement, and step towards the elevator at the opposite end...which is locked. It even has one of those card-readers with teeth the elevator back at the bottom of the island had! Thankfully, though, there's a door at the end of this shaft, too. Wide open, and leads into the sphere. With no other way in, you step inside... You come into a hallway that seems to split in two, going left and right at the end. About half-way through the hallway, you can see windows that show into two rooms, one on each side. The doors, you figure, must be after the split in the hallway. The left room, when looked into, shows an operating table of some sort, several machines that display numbers and letters blinking in and out, several bottles and beakers, and a set of operating tools...it looks almost like a hospital room. You think this was probably the Hacker's operating room. Where Asphoxia was kept. ...the right room also looks quite ominous. It has a very surreal white light. The walls are stacked with Pokeballs, while a circular machine in the center seems to house 6 Pokeballs in particular. Some of the Pokeballs look quite foreign to you, and not even because they're not made out of bakemeat.  Like...what, even?  Interestingly, you do see another of that one Pokeball you picked up earlier. You still don't know what it is, but it makes you wonder what purpose it could possibly have...not like it can ever best your Bakemeat Balls! You think you also see someone else standing in the room, monitoring the Poke Balls.... |

Carl: Send yourself out and punch that Porygon-Z in the face.
C: Sneak up on them from behind and scream in their ear.
