POKÉMON 2.B.A. MURDERER ~ A Poké-Murdergame

[madface7]

"Permanent fainting? Oh, geez..."

"That sounds like it would suck! Why do they have to do that?"

"Because he said so, I guess...? He's not really clear about his motives."

(edit: color oops)

[KungFuCutbug]

>Go a bit further into the Western area, see if there's any cool items hiding on the ground or anything

[3]

[You find a single Pokéyen. Not a hundred, not ten, one.]

>go to right of forest

[The Eastern section was, again, largely identical to the Central section. The trees here looked strangely thin, almost more akin to bamboo grass than anything. The main difference is the large hot spring in the corner near the border between the Eastern and Northeastern sections—perfect for unwinding, or drowning a motherfucker.]

>see if there's anything that even remotely looks like an exit

[Nothing of the sort.]

[Guma]

Why are you doing this anyway, Ringtoss? Don't make me ask twice.

[Huney]

"Oh, cuz they're bored. I get it. I don't really get bored anymore myself since the Situation, but I get their vibe."

[madface7]

>go Weast

"...Don't you mean 'west', Sue?"

"No, it's East and Weast, right?"

"I thought it was West and Weast. You're pointing west, not Weast."

"I am pretty sure it is 'east and weast', however you may be right."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

"Just puttin' us Pokemon out there to kill is just sick. Just be like me and pull jokes on 'em. Good laughs and they're all alive in the end, even if they get dirty, hee hee hee hee!"

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Indeed... We will not be deterred! We will bring these murderers to justice and stop this vile game!

[MadeOfMilk]

A Venomoth with wheels huffs.

And of course he chose a bunch of champions for this...

[madface7]

"We will... uh... what will we do to fix this, exactly?"

"First we go west!"

"Or weast."

"West-weast!"

[Kennifer]

It's just pocket change, but Mawile picks up the single Pokeyen anyway, why not. After that, not finding the Western area terribly exciting, she'll

>Return to the center area.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Explore Southwestern

[Huney]

"Alright, is everyone settled? I think I found one of the killers."

[MadeOfMilk]

> Rev up and explore the east

[Zanreo]

A hot spring... maybe this could be a nice place to relax later. For now, Fuiji would go back... maybe get to know the others.

>return to center area

[CrystalMemoria]

Rosario sighs, crossing their arms.

"I won't give up on an exit just yet... There simply must be one...!"

Although Rosario does want to make sure...

>Try to find the cleanest area of the center to stand, and analyze the center of the forest from there for anything that may stand out.

Rosario then glances over at Doober with a look of curiosity.

"Hmm...? My apologies, but it's a little hard to imagine finding one this early..."

[TenOfSwords13]

A Dusk Lycanroc seems... not really annoyed by the situation. He turns to face Ringtoss. OK. So... if you're trying to imply that I'm in any danger, Ring-boy, then you're gonna need to up your game. I'm pretty sure I can best at least half these guys one on one... no offense meant to anyone.

[KungFuCutbug]

“I already said, it's ‘cause I'm bored! Arceus almighty, you get onto me for ‘makin’ ya ask twice’ and I'm th’ one repeatin’ myself here.”

>go north

[The Northern section is filled with spruce, pine, and other evergreen trees. There's a noticeable chill in the air here, as though a snowstorm was coming... but there's no snow.]

>there's like three of you going south so

[The Southern section, meanwhile, has a more tropical vibe to it. It's warmer than the rest of the forest, the trees strongly resemble palms, and the sunlight is harsh.]

>go weast

[You brush shoulders with the exiting Mawile on your way there.]

>Explore Southwestern

[This area seems to be a hybrid of the Southern and Western sections, fittingly. The terrain is very rocky and pointy. Don't stub your toe.]

[madface7]

"Already?!" Addie's eyes light up.

"...Would you mind telling us...?"

[Kafkaesque]

Hrgh... where am I? 'Twas but mere seconds ago that I was venturing on the shores of a distant land, prepared to confront a rival adventuring party in a hunt for a great and valuable treasure... but now I am somewhere vastly different. This dense foliage... I cannot explain why, but it chills me to my bones. A life of adventure has left me adept at determining when a situation poses a dire threat...

Ah, I see my audience is still present and accounted for, at least! Now, it would be uncouth of me to approach a mysterious circumstance such as this without a little bit of dramatic flair, would it not? Let us treat these bizarre new circumstances as the call to adventure they are! Forward!

Hm... I hear a voice... several voices... EGADS! A Hoopa! Oh, deary me, I do not think I have ever encountered a Legendary Pokemon at such close proximity before... and the words it speaks! Egads and double egads! Am I to be told this foul beast has trapped my great self within this forest, alongside all these other poor souls, for the sake of a sadistic game? Such vile debauchery! I may not be capable of physically confronting such a powerful entity, but I shall do my best to show that I shall not bow to its sickening demands!

Proud I stand, my luxurious mane blowing in a breeze that may or may not truly be there. I look this terrible beast dead in the eyes, and address it as clearly and confidently as I can.

"Hark! What gives you the right to subject these poor souls to such horrific things? And I am especially eager to know what led you to think I was deserving of such treatment!"

[Guma]

What is with this forest? It's practically an entire region, with its climates!

[KungFuCutbug]

“Before I say anythin’ else—wow, oookay! Didn't expect it t’ gimme this much of a headache at the start.” [Ringtoss crosses his arms.] “Slow down a li'l, will ya? You won't like what happens next if you don't.”

>Try to find the cleanest area of the center to stand, and analyze the center of the forest from there

[1]

[You trip and fall face-first into a puddle of mud.]

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

"Ow! This is so rocky! Maybe I should just tip-toe my way through this area..."

[MadeOfMilk]

Confusion, confusion! Nothing but confusion!

[Guma]

You never answered my question, though. Again, don't make me ask twice.

[Huney]

"Yes, that's right, you two. I know one of the killers. It's none other than
