Ettie's secret base changes locations on the regular, moving from spot to spot around Hoenn every few days, with the movements of the nomadic pack itself. Otherwise though, the base itself is consistently a den or cave that the pack has decided to settle down in for the time being - a number of pokemon, and sometimes even Ettie, often spending time together inside or just outside the base. One easy way to tell when Ettie's pack (and the base by extension) are in the area is by the communal howling the pack does at night, before retiring for sleep.


- Guardian : Ruffian the Lillipup -

Ruffian is the guardian of the base - and even if he's small, he is tenacious and fearless to no end! He will attempt to pick a fight with you on sight - and safe to say, it's likely you'll have to defeat him, sneak past him, or some other creative solution to reach the flag! Bribery like food won't work - but if you attempt persuasion, he may react positively to flattery and stroking his ego...


- Decorations -
The base is usually relatively sparse of decor - being that it's in a den/cave, and is a temporary set-up. However, you're likely to see at least a few of Ettie's other pokemon (excluding Gard) or even Ettie herself hanging around! Most of them will react generally positively or are otherwise tolerant of your presence - though it can depend from individual to individual. There are also a number of temporary nests of foliage, blankets, shed feathers, and the like set up as places for the pack to sleep. Adrae's and Astus' nests in particular will often have a number of random shiny objects peeking out amongst the bedding.


- Traps/Obstacles -

Duchess the Electrike is the one obstacle that people are most likely to deal with. She's taken a liking to carrying the base's flags with her - and though she's extremely friendly to any visitors who come along, she's also extremely playful! To get the flag, you either have to tucker her out by playing, or otherwise outspeed her and catch her in a game of tag!


Rascal the Maschiff is a bit of a timid gal - she isn't likely to pose too much trouble if you aren't taking the stealth route. Though if she notices your presence, she'll begin kicking up a squeaky racket with her barking, alerting Ruffian in the process!


Adrae the Murkrow is, to put it simply, a mischievous little shit. If you run into her while she's in the mood to cause trouble (which is often,) she's likely to mess with you - be it by using Haze to make it harder to see, by stealing a shiny object of yours, or even just laughing at you while you're trying to deal with the other obstacles present! How rude.


Princess the Snubbull is a pretty lazy and slowgoing pokemon - you're more likely to accidentally trip over her while she's napping in some inconvenient spot (which is highly unlikely to even bother her, she'll just get up and sleep somewhere else in the base,) than for her to cause you any actual troubles. However, if you frighten Duchess, or injure any of the other pokemon, Princess will awaken and become aggressively protective - and safe to say, she's stronger than she looks!

Making her way into the cave where locals claimed they could hear howling from at night, Andrea found herself inside a secret base filled with doggos. Very cute.

While looking for the flag, she stumbled over a sleeping Snubbull that was in the way, nearly causing her to lose her footing. "Using a Pokémon as a trap. How interesting..." The dragon-hooded girl mused to herself, waking past the pink guard dog, who simply rolled on its other side and resumed its nap.

Another canine Pokémon approached her: An Electrike holding the flag in its mouth. It looked up at Andrea with its literal puppy dog eyes, and wagged its tiny tail. "You wanna play?" The young woman asked, eliciting an affirmative yip from the electrical dog. She gave the Electrike many belly rubs, until its mouth finally hung open, allowing her to snatch the flag.

After Josh and returned to Fortree Gym over lunch at the Beautifly and Dustox sports bar, Braver caught the scent of a familiar Lillipup and followed it to a cave with the small, snarling dog guarding it. "Ruffian? What are you doing here?" he recognized the wild child's Pokémon. "Is this your home? Where's Ettie at? I'm here to say hi to her!" They were all questions the Normal-type seemed unwilling to answer. Not wanting to pick a fight with he rambunctious dog the much larger Arcanine would have trouble hitting, Josh opted for a nonviolent way to handle the Pokémon.

"Braver, TELEPORT!"

Just like a true psychic Pokémon, the Arcanine vanished, taking Josh on a thrilling jaunt through the astral plane before reappearing in the material on Ruffian's other side, far into the den. The first thing he saw in the den itself was Duchess at play with the base's flag. "Great to see you too, Duchess! Where's Ettie at?" he asked. The Electrike seemed more interest in simply playing with Braver, sparks flying from her paws as she sped about using her explosive acceleration.

While it took quite some time with the duo prancing and dancing about, Braver's stamina won out, Duchess yielding the flag. With one more use of TELEPORT to get past Ruffian on the way out, the Pokémon racer and his Arcanine departed.

The sound of many Pokémon howling after sundown was a sign that 's pack was at play nearby. She had never met them after dark before, and with Grimmie being nocturnal, now would be a great time to pay them a visit! Ruffian didn't think so, though, and he didn't seem to recognize the her in her new clothes, either! Not wanting to engage in combat with such a small Pokémon while mounted, Shalin slid off her Houndoom's back, and was she ever glad she did. The two PLAYED ROUGH, quite rough, with one another, the tough-as-nails Lillipup repelling the dark-type. It took both of her Ninetales holding the pupper down with EXTRASENSORY for her to get by.

The howling stopped at the sight of Shalin and the two foxes. Duchess recognized the two and challenged them to a race. While it wasn't in Shalin's wheelhouse, she couldn't say no to the Electrike! Light coming from her spark-emitting legs made her easy to follow, but the two Ninetales simply weren't fast enough! They could, however, outlast her in aggregate. Though she had to switch from Letheia to Caprice, the fire-type eventually was able to catch up to Duchess. Kindly accepting the flag inside the Electrike's mouth, Shalin turned her Ninetales around the leave the den... but ended up passing out alongside the rest of Ettie's pack instead!
