Emporio's March Catch All - Quests + OTA
Who: Emporio, his quest buddies, and More!
What: Questboard Catch-All! + Bonus Prompt for Visits
When: Early March + Month-long Wildcard
Where: The Forest, and the Town
Warnings: Will be added as needed
[[OOC - The quests are in a psuedo-chronological order, but I've left the official timing vague to keep things open. As it stands, while Quest prompts presumably happen earlier in the month, the open prompt could be at any point in time.]]
[RESCUE SMOOCHUM]
[It starts, in part, with an agreement. Being in Lum, Emporio and the Ring Spirit naturally have an advantage in accessing the quest board, though not near as much as others higher up the chain. It's access enough though, and so the agreement comes into play; the Ring Spirit has finished reading up enough that he feels ready to tackle some kind of mission. Not just berry gathering either, a proper quest, with possible reward.
And so, they get to the quest board, look at what's left and... ...well it ended up being that there were actually rescues remaining. Only one would really work for his typing, but it's sure a rescue.
So the assignment was taken, a few others contacted via pearl and-]
Okay. From what we know, Smoochum went somewhere in...this direction of the woods.
...Apparently though, that's about all we have. [Thanks Onix.] So our best bet is unfortunately going the same way and hoping we find something.
[But that said, given who is in this group... ...He looks to Akechi.] I don't know if we should go too far away from each other, but if you're alright with flying now, it might be a good idea to fly a little ahead and above us to get a better view.
[And then, Ingo-] Do you think that fire you used last time might help us signal someone lost, as we go?
[A bright beacon seems easier for a scared pokemon to spot, than nothing at all!]
[MISSING?]
Huh?
[That's a little weird, Emporio thinks when he goes to the quest board a little after a successful rescue.] ...Wasn't this one already taken?
[He could have sworn that he saw someone take hold of this particular quest poster. Actually, he feels like he's seen it twice now but that can't be right.
Still- this time, he opts to take it, what with the sheer oddity of it all catching the Ring Spirit's attention as well. Of course, while the two of them are plenty clever, they should probably get help from one other...
...Which naturally, is how Emmet is recruited early into the investigation. It'll be a good test of that nose, right?]
Okay. Phantump is fairly small, and ghost-grass type- they look a little like a tree apparently, or...I guess more like if a piece of a tree had a little ghost in it, with glowing eyes?
[Emporio, helpfully, has a little note taking slate now, and has been using it to keep track of things. He's been doing his best, and coordinating with these pearls seems to be helping with that a lot.] I managed to find someone who thinks they saw them, what about you guys?
[BUSY BEERIES]
[After all of that, Emporio could use a wind-down. There's always a need for berries and sticks. The woods are nice and (relatively) dry, and supposedly walking in woods is relaxing.
So, berry gathering.
The cubone breathes out, helmet on his back.
All he needs to do, is Not think about that phantump!
...yep. Just gotta focus on berries.]
How are you guys doing?
[JUST ON THE BERRIES.]
[WILDCARD - LUM ROOMS]
[Being in Lum has its perks, and one of them is that technically speaking, one could argue that Emporio has his own address. At the very least, he definitely has his own door, which people can knock on and visit him at near the edge of the town.
Of course, that can go one of two ways- if they're smaller than four foot, he can let them into his relatively small (but certainly cozy) abode. Otherwise, he's going to just have to come outside and go somewhere else to do...whatever it is his visitors are here for.
But on that note- what IS he getting visitors for?]

no subject
So far their combined efforts have managed to drive off the second Pumpkaboo, with Ingo currently pinning the other and having KO'd one Nuzleaf... but the remaining opponents are still up and aggressive for now... ]
whoops! Thought I got to this.
[Which is why Akechi is changing tactics now, beating his wings to launch a series of Air Slash attacks to hit a wider range of foes.]
Spread moves may be the most efficient way to fend them off. A status afflicting move may do just as well...
[They are falling, but efficient tactics will make it easier for all of them, and Ren isn't here to be the "leader."]
wheeze
As well, Smoochum appears to be regaining some composure, so...] If you guys are able- I think this is a good time to run!
no subject
[It's sensible enough for Emporio to retreat with their rescue target if he can, but he doubts they'll all be allowed to retreat that easily. At the least they should make sure no one gets chased down.]
If you've moves that can inflict a status condition, you should use them! That will slow them down!
apologies for delay
Watch it!
[ He just barely remembers not to retaliate by turning that complaint into another Astonish - but he does remember. (Even if he grumbles to himself in zalgotext about wanting to do so...)
Between the Ring-Spirit's chipping away at them and now Akechi's Air Slashes, one Phantump and the other Nuzleaf finally go down. Just one Phantump (and the pinned Pumpkaboo) remain! They're almost out of this! ]
