Story so far: You are Ron, a human who one day turned into a Tepig. Along with your friend Oshawott, you started an exploration team, investigating a mystery of a captured Shaymin, a rogue Tapu Koko, and a dying world. Check the screencaps to catch up!
Deciding it's time for some answers, Shaymin has directed your team in the direction of Mt. Yonder, where a portal to Aula Calesti, the meeting place of many legendary pokemon, awaits.
You soon came upon the temple containing the portal, only to find that it had been blocked off by an impenetrable wall of unbreakable pink crystal. Although your objective was cut off for the time being, you did manage to uncover the notorious criminal Stunfisk and bring him to justice. Sweet, flash-steamed justice.

Rules: Periodically I'll ask for input on what you, Ron (and ONLY Ron), should do. When input is required, I will ask for a set of a few numbers. 5 minutes after asking for those numbers, the LAST post ending in one of the requested numbers will have their suggestion taken for Ron's action. Only posts made AFTER the post asking for a # will count. Other characters will move autonomously, acting of their own will, though you can make suggestions for them.
Dubs and trips will now be counted as 'bonus' or 'add-on' actions, actions that Ron will take, so long as they don't conflict or detract away from the main roll. Dubs and trips (or better) can be countered with dubs (or better) of opposite even-odd (ie, 44 can be countered with 11, 33, 55, etc.)
Other rules: -"Get bragging" will now be ignored. (These trips say x, If quads, x will happen)
-"Securing" is no longer allowed. Attempts to secure an action by use of dubs or better will now result in the original action being nullified and moving to the next-most qualified roll.
Keep note that actions can only be performed within the realm of plausibility. You can't pull out items you don't have, you can't use moves you don't know, you can't willingly try to kill yourself etc. etc.

OP please

Osha: Hey Ron, you took care of Stunfisk? Ah great then. Guess we should move on. Uhh I suppose we have the path to the left here or back to the room with the ladder and go up. What do you think?
>2, 4, 8
>>32781616
It was just a good thread was all! Fun times all around. Got something against that?
>>32764060
>>32781628
Put the poorly-drawn walrus out of its misery, then head left.
>>32781628
Go to the left
>>32781682
>You follow the path left and around and emerge out into a clearing on the mountainside... and it's on fire...
Bunnelby: Well if it isn't team Regicide! Y'all the ones who took my request?
Osha: Yep, what do you need help with?
Bunnelby: Well see this here plateau is where I plant my garden every year. Perfect sun, good soil, very workable, thanks to yours truly. But for some reason, the whole plateau is on fire!
Osha: Have... have we done this before, I feel like we've done this before.
Bunnelby: Well if y'all can put out the flames, I'd be mighty grateful. Just be careful, I think I hear something rustling around in there. Might be a wild pokemon causing some trouble.
...
>Hm? What's that noise?
>>32781858
There better not be any kidney beans in that fire OP
>>32781858
Eva: Hey, can you guys hear us?
>Looks like B team is calling you on your comm device!
Osha: Eva? Hey we can hear you? Where are you guys?
Eva: We got lost in some kind of steam-filled cavern
Nibbles: We can't see shit. Tell em I said that.
Eva: We can't see shit, says Nibbles.
Osha: Uhh, I guess we can try and track you guys down? We're a little preoccupied at the moment, but we'll see what we can do. Maybe stay on the line and we can try and walk you through something.
>You can now also have Ron give suggestions to B team to help them out
>Looks like you've got a fire problem and steam problem. Any ideas? 1, 5, 0
>>32781938
Send Nibbles and Rina to feel along the walls of wherever they are, while Osha tries to put out the fire.
>>32781971
The good old hug the walls always works.
>>32781938
Ok,if there is steam that means there must be water somewhere... Find the water,we are going to need a lot.
>>32781971
>Osha attempts to douse the fire, but much like last time, he simply can't compete with such intense flames. Though an odd hissing does seem to emanate from the flames somewhere
>Meanwhile, Nibbles and Rina move out to try and find the walls to follow, but Nibbles gets a smack from something unseen...
>3, 6, 8 next
>>32782064
Ron: Run through the flames since he's immune to fire. See if he can find anything of interest.
Nibbles: Do what he does best and hit back without thinking.
>>32782064
Sparkles can go through the walls right? Look what is under the floor where you are.
>>32782111
This, but also yell the lyrics to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgrCKhxE1s
>>32782111
>Huh, this actually isn't so bad this time. You can actually walk through these flames a bit
Nibbles: Eh? Whunk?
>>32782258
>2, 7, 9 next
>>32782269
So did the rock fall from above or was it in there among the flames and we didn't see it?
Also the invisible thing has water. Maybe feel it out and see what its supposed to be?
>>32782312
rock came from the flames
>>32782269
Blame nibbles for that rock falling on us
>>32782332
So it was thrown forward at us to stop us?
>>32782359
yes
>>32782269
Sparkles look what is under the floor and over the ceiling.
>>32782312
This. Maybe Ron could Rollout to try and outspeed whatever it is and just go for the exit on the other side. It could lead somewhere important.
>>32782385
Re
>>32782350
>>32782380
You stop that
>>32782405
But if we don't blame nibbles, we can only blame ourselves. I'm not ready for that kind of responsibility.
>>32782389
>>32782312
>You build up a bit of speed and rollout as fast as you can through the flames, knocking into something as you go and knocking it out of the flames as you reach the other side.
Nibbles: Uhh, it feels... kinda smooth I guess...
*snap*
Ah! I think it just tried to bite me?
>2, 6, 7 next
>>32782463
Time to interrogate slugma, get osha to torture it with water type moves till it talks
>>32782463
Have Sparkles paralyze whatever it is with Thundershocks, so Nibbles can fully feel out whatever it is.
How the fuck am I supposed to be playing these games?
>Start off with Red Adventure
>Up to Silent Chasm
>Haven't been able to recruit anything yet
>FInally get a Teddiursa to join me
>IT FUCKING GETS TWO SHOTTED
>Runs away
>I die afterwards because I no longer care to live
>Rage quit the game
My friend really wants me to play these games, and I kind of want to play too, so tell me, am I doing something wrong? Am I not supposed to be recruiting new pokemon to my team? Because I sure as hell aren't getting any the vast majority of the time.
How important is it to pick up new pokemon?
Has everything gone to shit for me or is this completely fine?
I'm on the verge of just playing something else because I feel like I'm missing something or some way to recruit pokemon.
Not sure if we're supposed to guessWho's that Pokemon, but if I had to it's probably Carracosta.
>>32782557
Games are supposed to be challenging, you'll feel underpowered throughout most of the game, got OHKOed by a lot of bosses on my first playthrough, ya learn from experience
>>32782557
New recruits aren't too important until the postgame, so don't worry about it. This isn't really the thread for this though, try asking here >>32761650
>>32782507
>"Hey! What were you doing in that blaze? Did you start it? Osha, come torture it with water moves until it talks!"
Osha: Uhh... I can't get over there, Ron!
>Uh oh, Slugma is trying to make a break for it. It's getting away... slowly...
>Nibbles has gotten caught up in a whirlpool!
>1, 5, 7 next
>>32782597
Arm thrust slugma repeatedly, but keep it barely alive to interrogate later
>>32782582
>>32782585
Oh shit my bad, didn't know there was two mystery dungeon threads.
I don't mind the games being hard, I've just been confused as fuck if I've been doing something wrong because only 1 pokemon has offered to join me thus far and it ran away mere moments later when it got knocked out.
I'll go over to that other thread though if I have any other questions, nice one.
>>32782597
Neutralize Slugma with more Rollouts, then check whatever's inside that cave. Sparkles should be helping Nibbles by zapping whatever it is, and maybe Eva could feel around and see if there's anything we missed.
>>32782569
If not Carracosta, then maybe Omastar or a Feraligatr with really chiseled abs.
>>32782597
Is that a cave there? Look if there is something inside.
>>32782597
Use his armor ability to move rocks in front Slugma to block it
>>32782666
ok satan
>>32782667
>>32782634
>>32782646
>You drag some rocks from nearby to stop that slugma in its tracks. There, now there's no way it'll get away. And NOW,
>>32782731
>Yes, this entrance, well it looks likenot enough whiteboard space
>looks like a ladder or something inside.
>>32782751
>Sparkles tries to help with a thundershock, though he's aiming blind. Despite that, it looks like he struck something, sending electricity cracking along a ways. The whirlpool immediately ceases.
>2, 4, 6 next
>>32782776
Kill the slugs, then climb the ladder. Rina and Eva feel past whatever was zapped and see if there's anything useful.
>>32782804
>You rollout to knock out the Slugma, but the Magcargo attacks you with more rocks
Eva: Hey, I think the steam is clearing up a little bit!
>As she says that, she and Rina are swept up in another whirlpool
>3, 6, 0 next
>>32782895
Arm Thrust Magcargo, Nibbles and Sparkles team attack whatever keeps Whirlpooling
>>32782895
Fist the slug.
Try zapping again. But this time, aim to use the lightning to see what you're attacking
>>32782950
>You quickly dispatch the Magcargo with an Arm thrust while Nibbles and Sparkles attack together the attacking thing, sending it flying... somewhere... into something...
>>32783094
Eva: Hey! The steam is finally clearing! Oh... it was a clamperl in a tiny lake... but I guess we cracked it open and the water drained now...
>>32783127
>all three of my guesses were wrong
I don't know anymore
>>32783127
Bunnelby: Ah, there's the culprit!
Osha: An egg?
Shaymin: Well, if it's a fire type, it could start some fires, then I'd wager that attracted the slugs who in turn fed the fire and made it even bigger.
Osha: Alright. Well, glad that water came along and doused the fire. However that happened.
Bunnelby: Would you guys mind taking the egg so it doesn't start another fire?
Osha: It's not gonna burn up all our stuff while it's in our bag, is it?
Shaymin: Eh, should be fine. Just... toss some dirt in there on top of it...
***
Rina: Huh, poor thing is completely cooked...
>Rina picks up a Pearl and TM 21 Frustration
Oh... you know, I think it might've just upset about being cooked by boiling water and steam...
Eva: Uhm-
Rina: Yes, you may as well eat itTO BE CONTINUED
>>32783291
Thanks for the thread, OP. Not much people today, but still a fun thread nonetheless.
Someone please draw Eva holding a knife and fork with Clamperl on a plate
