MORE ROLLS THAN A BAKERY YO

SCHEDULED END: ... February?

EVERY MOLE IS A GOAL

Just before the chaos—particularly within the group that had found themselves upon the wild stellar family—a moment of reprise as the Minior had seemed curious towards the trainers whom had shown interest in the creature. Slowly the Minior seems to figuratively come out of its shell, cautiously yet curiously floating around the four—Dominic Grey, paxton concordas, skyler dross, and luka chêne—as it seemed to notice that they had been conversing about it. At the mention of 'capturing it', the Minior had quickly darted back into hiding behind its surrogate guardians, though the sun and moon pokémon seemed to simply watch it, even chuckle with amusement. It's luka chêne's efforts in particular that help coax it back out once more, seeming to appreciate the pat on its head and the small bit of makeshift feed—or at least the sentiment of it to, still just a tad too frightened to eat from the hand of a stranger.[break][break]

Though the Musharna's dream mist seems to go two different ways in the effort of helping the lost pokémon relax, a short moment as the little meteorite trembles, perhaps out of anxiety or sadness, but... slowly it tenses up then relaxes, seeming to understand what Luka had been trying to do for it.[break][break]

Yet... despite the attempted FUTURE SIGHT, what visions the Musharna sees are clouded... disturbingly enough, it seemed as though what the FUTURE SIGHT had revealed was... NOTHING.



Once more chaos runs amok within the party in the present, as dirt, stone and mole pokémon fly around the large expanse, the hollow echoing out every clash and clamour as a majority of the trainers fend off their newfound problem, while others remain steadfast in their search for glory and treasure! It seemed we just couldn't really get a break today! Yet a well timed FLASH CANNON blasting brilliantly lights up the cavern, the silhouettes of trainers and pokémon racing to escape the flash of blinding light as it shoots across and knocks the mole colony aside! Furthermore, paxton concordas's Magnezone's MAGNET PULL helps slow down the runaway Excadrill in particular![break][break]

A grand follow up as the natural elements come crashing down on the aggressive pokémon, stone from a combination attack between Dominic Grey's Mudsdale and Hideo Kino's Lycanroc, a wave of flame and ice from Alexei Ivanov's Salamence and Nia Acadia's Cloyster fanned further by Eris Halla's Togekiss blasting Drilburs back into the swarm's group! With one last one-two knock-out combo coming from Matilda Greenlaw and Martín del Mar's combination lullaby and hypnotism followed shortly by a mass dogpile from the rest of the expeditionary force![break][break]

Yet despite the severe beat-back the Drilbur and Excadrill had been receiving, they'd seemed intent fighting tooth and nail to keep you out of their home! All the more ready for another wave of attacks against the expedition force! Yet as you all brace yourselves, ready to take on the force of the diggers once more, a strange phenomenon occurs.[break][break]

The labour of moles suddenly become panicked, disappearing into the earth as they dig to escape frantically!

ILLUSION & DREAMS

As the wild pokémon make their escape, you're given a brief moment of reprieve as you seem to gather and breathe a sigh of relief... or so you thought. Preluding it all, it's the PSYCHIC, GHOST, AND FAIRY TYPES that first notice something amiss, many tensing up, particularly luka chêne's Musharna—an educated guess may allow Luka to realise that the vision from the FUTURE SIGHT hadn't necessarily been nothing... but rather this very moment—and especially the Minior and the Solrock & Lunatone, the small meteorite pokémon frantically hiding between the cosmic pokémon for safety.[break][break]

Yet without warning, barely even a couple seconds after the moles had made their getaway, YOUR POKÉMON SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A TRACE, a wave of fear washes over the expedition as chaos and panic runs amok once more, yet, before the panic truly sets in, and Cat tries to say something aloud, suddenly, what seems like a quite literal wave washes over the expedition, jet-black and almost starry... or were they eyes unblinking?[break][break]

Despite any attempts, ultimately, the entirety of the expedition finds themselves taken and consumed by the strange wave, yet it's not wetness they feel, rather, they're greeted once more by their own pokémon who seem relieved that their trainers were back with them. Yet... their surroundings seemed altogether the same. Until one looked too closely, wherever they were, while it appeared similar to the cavern expanse they had been in before, something was off. As if time was stagnant or gravity had been turned off for everything else that wasn't the expeditionary force or their pokémon, stones remained afloat in the air, and for those that tried to brush past it became apparent just how stagnant it had been. Floating materials remaining unerred and unmoving regardless of the forces applied by the curious explorers.[break][break]

One last detail that may have quickly been noticed being a strange... pink mist that seemed to twist and dance between your legs, those with particularly smaller pokémon may notice that their pokémon seem adamant about keeping away from the mist. The Solrock and Lunatone seem... nervous in this area, and furthermore the Minior seems rather upset and afraid! Perhaps it needs a little bit of help to calm down![break][break]

"... fifty six, fifty seven... everyone's still here, are we all okay?" Cat had called out as loud as she could after making a quick headcount. The young explorer seemed unsure of what to do, she hadn't expected this, whatever it may have been. She'd quite quickly understood that whatever was happening, something was certainly amiss. Whatever it was, it clearly wasn't normal. The young Galarian quickly rummaging through her bag for the emergency satellite phone, trying to make contact with the base back at the cave mouth to no avail. She'd frowned, fiddling with the device trying to see why it wasn't functioning properly.[break][break]

While @cat seemed unsure of what was happening, there are likely many amongst the expedition who may find themselves in an altogether unpleasantly familiar place. For those who had been part of the STAR SOIREE at Mossdeep... some may recall the INTERDREAM ZONE. Their suspicions and dreads slowly confirmed as some notice something dart by. The more observant, or those who may recall something familiar, may recognise it to be an Unown.[break][break]

It seemed altogether that this was a strange cluster of the INTERDREAM ZONE, those that know the strangeness of the DREAM MIST may brave it and try to search it for new treasures... or even those who were far more fortunate to have never experienced the phenomenon prior may stumble upon something new by chance. Yet, it becomes ever more so apparent that you are not meant to be here.[break][break]

Had anyone not noticed the Unown before, they most certainly would now as they find themselves being watched by the strange beings, keeping their distance yet altogether eery, it seemed they were here to observe... and for those that had experienced the mist before, perhaps help the expedition escape the strange place, with a little... coaxing.

RULES & GUIDELINES

INSTRUCTIONS

TO ESCAPE THE INTERDREAM ZONE A TOTAL OF 10 POSTS IS REQUIRED FROM THE EXPEDITION, EACH POST REQUIRING A UNIQUE WORD EACH FROM THE UNOWN REPORT. IT SEEMS THE UNOWN RESONATE WITH THESE PARTICULAR WORDS. DON'T FORGET TO HIGHLIGHT THE SPECIAL WORD USED AND NUMBER HOW MANY HAVE BEEN USED IN YOUR TL;DR!

[break][break]

As a reminder for those that have skipped rounds, you are still considered part of the expedition and will continue to overall be part of it, failing to post in a round simply means your character did not discover anything major but still remains with the group, contextually.[break][break]

Make sure to ROLL! At least one roll after the mod post! You're free to post more than once but at least one post with one roll and try not to double post~ (RP etiquette~). It'll always be helpful to me if you can list your Partner Pokémon and its Ability(s). Additionally add a (♥) symbol with it if your Pokémon was one of your starters! Additionally put in a (Z) or an (M-[ABILITY]) if it can use a Z-Move or Mega Evolve![break][break]
