FINALLY THE EVENT

[united-mods.livejournal.com]

WELCOME TO THE RELIC CASTLE

I shall be your guide and snarky narrator - replying to most comments with a bit of humour - acting as your Game Master for this adventure though this castle. The goal? To explore and find the Dark Stone. There are seven stories, and you will need to get to the bottom. Please note that if we don't wrap this up by Halloween, the Pokemonfication event will still be happening.

How this is gonna work? There's gonna be comments down there. When somebody solves the floor, then the next floor will go up. Simple? I sure hope so!

[He grins at the Krokorok and gives him a little wave.] Yo, dude, thanks! Man, you gotta understand, all I got with me is a Bulbasaur and a derpy Doduo. [Dave's pretty interested in the Krokorok; don't see many Unova Pokemon outside Unova, after all. Other than his Scrafty, he can't recall the last time he'd seen one.] And, uh, right -- You can go flying with Iris anytime, bro, no problem!

[He blinks and looks back to Iris.] Uncle Alder? Like, Champion Alder? That's ace, man! He always seemed like such a chill dude. Didn't know you two were related.

And if it doesn't listen to you, let me know and I'll lay into him. My Pignite is super effective, after all. [Iris is semi-serious about this.]

Alder... he's not my real Uncle. [But...] But, he's okay with me calling him that - he did help raise me after saving my life, after all. Him and Uncle Drayden and Skyla are the closest I've got to family, you know - and I love them like a real family. [Because the rest of her family are Pokemon, and she can't love them like she used to because she's a full human now. Not that she's going to tell that to anybody. But... she still loves Skyla like a mummy? Even after everything? Okay that might be a bit creepy.] He is pretty chill, though! Sometimes, we can talk for hours and hours and then he has to continue wandering the lands. I hope he doesn't miss me too much...

[Dave gives the Krokorok a jokingly seriously look.] He should listen to me, I got my whole badge collection on me still. [He grins.] But, nah, we'll be cool, promise.

[He listens to Iris's story with vague interest, although all this going on about family is kind of super boring.] Yeah, that's really cool. Lance was a real asshole, I've been looking forward to battling Alder. It was supposed to be, like, a few years from now, after Hoenn even. But, what ya gonna do.

[He looks back to the Krokorok.] Hey, Krok, you wanna stay out of the 'ball or what? Eh, you're not too big, you can just stay out if that's cool with you, bro. Not sure when shit's gonna go down. [Shrug. He looks over to the staircase.] Dude said we're just supposed to go downstairs? They cool with us catching Pokemon in here?

[withmyfluffbat.livejournal.com]

[I'm sorry, but there's only one thing in that Iris is interested in. And she's gonna be looking pretty excited right now.]
You've met Lance?! Wow... I've never met him before! I'm sure his Pokemon are super strong, huh?
[But after a small pause...]
I guess it'd be okay to catch Pokemon here. I mean, I was here a bit ago, and that's where I caught Archen...

[Dave laughs.] Well, I dunno about met, I mean -- He was the champion back on Indigo Plateau, you know? He is pretty intense with that cape and everything. Yeah, not gonna lie, his team was crazy hard to beat. [He shrugs, looking a little smug.] But you two are both Dragon trainers, right? So that's pretty cool.

[He nods when she mentions the Archen.] Archen, that's one of your fossil guys, right? Didn't think fossils were wild anywhere, that's kinda weird. But hopefully Krok over here will help me catch some tough 'mons while we're here. Or at least train up Bulbasaur.

[withmyfluffbat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess... [Iris was kind of a Dragon Tamer, wasn't she. Even if she normally only had flying-types - keeping her Salamence tame was what a Tamer did, right? Right.] I bet I could beat him, though! With my normal team, that is.

[...] Yeah, it is kind of weird. And even weirder - I've seen other fossils here, too! I'm sure you'll find a good capture here, though!

[hipster-dave.livejournal.com]

Sure you could! If you got any Ice moves you're golden. Oh, except for that fucking Gyarados, I swear to Arceus that's just cheating. [NOT A DRAGON. STOP PRETENDING, POKEMON GAMES]

That is weird, about the fossils. I mean, invasive species are one thing, right? It's not even that weird, you guys were gonna get invaded by Rattatas eventually anyway. But extinct Pokemon running around? [This is getting deep. Dave shakes his head.] Dunno what that means; things seem really screwed up, though. Do you think this stone they want us to find will actually do anything?
