ONGOING EVENT
EXPLORATION




GRANITE CAVE[break]↓ ULTRA DEEP SEA

Lusamine's Encounter Theme - Pokemon Sun & Moon
[break]

CONTRARY TO ITS NAME, THE MAJORITY OF THE ULTRA DEEP SEA IS A VAST CAVE-LIKE WORLD. Shafts of light from an unknown source barely penetrate the dark, causing colorful diamond-like rocks to glisten against humid walls. The dim lighting makes the place seem like you're thousands of leagues under the sea... Eerily, an unceasing pulse can be heard like a heart beat that rumbles throughout the realm.[break][break]

Oddly enough, one is able to "swim" through this realm like Water-type Pokemon floating in air.[break][break]

One may stumble upon deep, cold pools of dark water and alien seaweed as they scout out the realm. Segments of this place open up into an astral sea, where islands of mysterious stone are suspended mid-air.

Somehow, someway, they had managed to find their way back to this godforsaken place. As he managed to 'dive' (that was putting it strongly given despite the watery atmosphere, he could still breathe like it was air,) Danny headed towards the Quaestor Lucis again. Yet another round on this ship of nightmares. Joy. Once Danny's feet touched the ground, he began to eye a trench that seemed just out of the way. Perhaps, since they seemed to make a habit of coming to this area, it wouldn't hurt to make a base that they could escape to when things got a little rough.

Once everyone started to gather again, he seemed to snap out of his more analytical approach to their expedition and flashed folks a goofy grin as he raised his hand. At least now he could relay his idea to them

"Greetings to our most excellent bard, berserker, and paladin!" he began with ease. "I was thinking since we're making a habit of coming to this place, do you think we should make a base we can escape to if things get a little too tough? Last time was a little too easy, and I don't think I like that for us, besties."

It would be a collaborative effort, and when he gestured to the trench that seemed to be narrow enough to place a barricade of sorts. And Danny, despite that seemingly empty head of his, seemed to have at least a semblance of an idea as he threw out his Ditto. The pink blob warbled at him in an excited manner, happy to be used for some field work. Danny knelt down and gave the creature a gentle pat on the head.

"Hell yeah, let's go Wubble Bubble!" he fistbumped the Ditto. "I'm thinkin' Wubble Bubble here can transform into a bigger, stronger pokemon, and it can start helping us move some ship wreckage that we can turn into a barricade of sorts."

It wasn't long until he threw out his Skeledirge to join the party. "And I'm thinkin' Nacho Cheese here can help with the welding aspect. Anyone have a pokemon that can cut into the steel so we can fashion ourselves a door so we ourselves can get in and out of our own barricade?"

tl;dr
- suggests making a base
- brings out his ditto and skeledirge to help with the building process

Now that Shalin knew what to expect in the Ultra Deep Sea, she could bring Pokémon more suited for it. Most importantly, a Pokémon that could heal and another that could protect them with a psychic shield would keep them safe. She still couldn't resist bringing her giant insects to the strange dimension, though! Every time she tilted her head to one side, she could see her Beedrill mount's individual wingbeats. Barely, but she could.

After traveling some distance from the rift, @danny suggested building a base camp of some kind. "Camp outside the ship is a great idea!" she agreed, dropping the Poké Ball of Prance, her Wyrdeer, below her. The psychic-type Hisuian Pokémon appeared, ready to help transport loose wreckage with creative use of her PSYSHIELD. "This is a really good Pokémon for your Ditto to turn into!" Seeing a Skeledirge, the girl would also release Kiara, her Pyroar, to help with the welding, as there would be a lot of work to do.

I EDITED OVER THIS POST DON'T MIND THE DOUBLE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

calling back her two bob-the-builder pokemon, micah let loose her improved magnezone. just days ago, it had been nothing more than an offensive tank. now it was a multi-tool, even providing means of transportation as the heavy pokemon lowered itself with a swaying noise and allowed its trainer to hop on for a ride. although the fit was snug, micah was able to ride atop it - hovering over the ground at varying heights which allowed her to even be able to use it as a just-off-the-ground mount. [break]
"oh, sick. the cb is out." this was said in reference to the beedrill, giving it a finger gun and chuckling softly at the dumb inside joke she had made. "queen bee? no, queen zing - right." micah committed this name to memory as she pressed forward, nodding at the plan. "downwards we go then. there's always better lot in lower levels of dungeons anyway," she thought out loud - knee deep in rpg talk and thought already. "but remember, we'll share the loot we can!" she offered out as means of encouragement, trying to stir camaraderie as she could while trying to stick to the front end of the group in case something happened but also trying to stick to the group in general. splitting up was a dumb idea and she regretted giving it as an option last time, given how easily it seemed to be to stir anxiety and doubt in this strange space.[break]
with an appreciative nod to andrea, micah gave a second thumbs up motion to the psychic type she had stirred up and thrown into the pot. what a good idea. the girl of science would have to take that into her notes for later. "you know the drill. keep your hands and feet in the ride at all times and scream out if you see anything we needa be wary of."[break]

Another day, another expedition. Teaming up with the power couple of Shaggy and Scoob once again (Andrea was beginning to suspect that those weren't their real names), their first course of action was building a base camp/settlement of some kind in order to better equip themselves against the perils of this underwater-like cave complex.

With the Quaestor Lucis looming in the background, construction began. Everyone would do their part; Queen Zing, Prance, Nacho Cheese, Michelle... even Wubble Bubble. The latter, being a gooey little Ditto, was looking for a powerhouse to Transform into, and while the Pokémon already present were fine candidates, Andrea had a slightly better idea. "They should totally Transform into Regina! Her jaws can chew through anything!"

As if to demonstrate, her Tyrantrum grabbed a bunch of metal chunks in its Strong Jaws, carrying them to the designated drop point with ease. The dragon-costumed girl sent out another Pokémon to aid in the construction: Alakazam. The Psychic type immediately began lifting materials with its telepathy and Teleporting them where they needed to be. "This is Spoony. He can use Calm Mind in case any of us freaks out again." The girl explained.

Both Shalin and Andrea posed two solid options. While he couldn't decide, it seemed his Ditto was able to pose a proper option of both. It transformed into the Wyrdeer to carry the pieces of metal that Micah's Torterra managed to break off. Then with both Skeledirge and Micah's Bulbasaur's help, the Ditto transformed into the Tyrantrum to put the pieces of metal higher up. Once it seemed their base was secure, Danny's pokemon wandered back to him and he drew them both back into their respective pokeballs.

He flashed a pleasantly surprised smile at the Alakazam that Andrea had brought along, then soon gave the psychic type a firm pat on the shoulder. It was a genius idea to bring a pokemon like that to the party given the last time didn't bode well for them at all.

"Pleasure to meet you, Spoony!" he offered in a chipper fashion before he looked to everyone else. "Well, with our base secure, let's get a move on, yeah?"

Danny seemed eager to explore the ship that had thrown him through mental turmoil once before. Perhaps he was in a better place mentally now, but who knew how long that'd last? As they came closer to the Quaestor Lucis again, Danny took a deep breath in and entered through the wreckage. Perhaps from there, they could reach more inaccessible rooms. Though as he took a few steps forward, he felt the familiar sticky sludge from before. More Poipole and Nihilego adhesive. Great. At least it hadn't been enough to leave him stuck there.

But the more of that stuff they found, the worse off they'd be.

Danny found a hole in the ceiling and worked to boost himself up, then carefully looked down from there to offer his hand out to whomever needed a boost. At least from there, they could explore more of the rooms within the ship. As he spoke, his tone fell serious, a heavy juxtapose to his typical demeanor.

"I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to check out more of the rooms here to see if we might be able to find anything worthwhile. Any notes, any signs of life, whatever you want to consider it. Keep your eyes peeled though, it's still pretty eerie in here, and I wouldn't be surprised if we found some of those ultra beasts this time around."

tl;dr
- finishes with building the base
- wanders in through some of the wreckage of quaestor lucis and steps in a little bit of ultra beast adhesive, proof that they're lurking about
- finds a hole in the ceiling and crawls through it, offering to help anyone else up
- suggests searching some of the rooms of the ship

With their many Pokémon aiding them, the four were able to construct a makeshift shelter. Sleeping in it would still be awkward, what with the tendency they had to float away in air that was, strangely enough, dense enough to swim in. Shalin had never seen anything like this in her life. It was truly frightening. While the others were finishing construction, she began collecting atmospherical and other environmental data for , as per the scientist's request back in Littleroot. After all, she had to repay her for her valuable insight into Alpha Pokémon, including all the Former Alphas in her own roster!

"Considering what happened last time, that's a fantastic idea, Andrea," Shalin complimented the dragon cosplayer. "I don't think dancing like a maniac is going to save us a second time." With Danny taking the initiative and heading toward the derelict vessel, she hopped on her Beedrill's back and guided the stinging insect to the Quaestor Lucis' entry hatch. Her beating wings, visually slowed to a crawl, were mesmerizing to watch. She briefly held her hand above one of them, wondering if the effect was just visual. She could feel each of its individual taps against her hand!

Once they were all inside, she again withdrew her Beedrill and switched ride Pokémon to her Pyroar, Kiara. Her head tilting down to make eye contact, thanks to a lift from the glowing lion, Shalin made some suggestions. "We went upstairs last time. How about we head downstairs this time? We never found the engine room, after all..."

With their base firmly secured it was time for the D&D party to explore the Megalopolan wreckage once more. This time with less paranoia... hopefully. While it didn't take long for Shaggy to stumble into another puddle of Poipole adhesive, it wasn't the only hazard lying on the floor. Soon, Andrea found herself stepping on something squishy... It was a thick, sloppy clutch of eggs.

"A-are those Ultra Beast eggs?!" The eccentric cosplayer recoiled in shock. Unlike regular Pokémon Eggs, these ones looked icky and coated in viscous slime. They were also translucent enough that one could faintly make out unsettling silhouettes incubating within. Spoony used his empathetic powers to ascertain that none of the alien embryos had been harmed.

"I think it's best to leave them where they are." The dragon-hooded girl said, hugging the wall so that she could walk around the egg cluster without disturbing them further. As tempting as it was to snatch one of those eggs and bring it back home for testing, it was probably not worth angering whatever extraterrestrial creature had laid them.

Crawling into a hole in the ceiling that most of their Pokémon were too large to fit through, the humans contemplated which section of the ship to explore first, Shalin proposing that they looked for the engine room. "That's a good idea. Maybe we'll figure out what caused the ship to crash." Andrea concurred and went forward, having her Alakazam telekinetically move any pieces of rubble or broken machinery obstructing their path.

The clutch of eggs had been enough to throw the team as a whole off. Thankfully it seemed none of them had been harmed, which was certainly enough to keep any possible roaming beasts at bay. The sight of it all caused Danny's stomach to churn in unease and disgust. Not only were there several eggs, but they were all covered in the familiar viscous slime that dripped from the ship's haul. Perhaps it was best if the four moved on from the area to find the engine room. Though as Danny made the move, he felt something grab onto him. (Little did he realize that his jacket had simply caught on something.)

"Wh--"

For a moment, Danny felt unfamiliar, almost bony fingers grab at his hair. This wasn't a welcome feeling in the way that they had intentions to rip him apart. As he let out a scream as hairs began to be pulled from his scalp, the feeling of hot blood enough to alert him as it trickled down his forehead and face from the clumps that were yanked out by restless Megalopolan spirits who haunted the ship. As he screamed, bony fingers gripped at the corners of his mouth as if they planned to rip the very voice from his throat.

His screams came out more like chokes as he stand there paralyzed by his unseen assailants. While fingers hooked his right cheek, others grasped his tongue by the root and began to pull. Through his gagged sounds of distress, tears began to pour from his eyes as he reached up and tried to free himself. The phantom assailants grabbed his fingers and began to break them with hollow pops as his face stretched almost like bubblegum. Though eventually things had to give. Muscle gave in as bones tore through the hollow of his cheek to leave his face a sinewy mess. This didn't stop the restless spirits. They wanted to rip soul from flesh.

"Guk!" Danny desperately choked out as a clear liquid poured from his lips in real time.

Little did he realize, the pain he suffered was merely an illusion brought on by the high concentration of the adhesive poison that surrounded them. However he couldn't even scream out for help, he was stuck to suffer in his own hallucination as he stared at the three before him with abject horror and desperation.

tl;dr
- suggests they move on
- paralyzed in fear as he's ripped apart
- turns out it's just a hallucination, oopsie

prompts completed
17 begin building a base camp/settlement of some kind.
24 suffer a grievous or fatal injury or injuries that ends up being a hallucination.

"Yep, Queen Zing!" Shalin confirmed with @micah . "Of course! I wouldn't split the spoils any other way." Thankfully, there was a ramp alongside the typical staircase to make it easier for Kiara to descend. On the way to the engine room, Andrea's shriek caught the rider's attention, Kiara's powerful purr distorting Shalin's cry back. Even with her being used to vibration and tingling from routinely riding insects, feeling that kind of rumble from a Pyroar was still startling. They truly were a species whose bark actually was worse than their bite.

"Arceus, no kidding," Shalin agreed with . "Who knows what's inside those. Plus, they don't even hatch like regular Pokémon do. I've been incubating this one for over a month and it hasn't done a thing," she showed the cosplayer the Buzzwole egg she got from the Ultra Desert. "Not one bit of motion or sound inside, from what I could tell. I think there's a trick to it."

As the four continued down the ramp, Danny's violent motions whipped Shalin's attention toward him. A quick once-over revealed nothing physically wrong with the young man. Not one bruise, yet he looked like he was intense pain. "Levy!" Shalin called out, sending out her slightly smaller than usual Milotic, who was still big enough to block the hall behind them. "A dose of LIFE DEW for Danny, please?" She crossed her fingers that Pokémon healing was the answer...

"girl, what --"[break]
sadly, andrea was correct.[break]
fleshy mounds of eggs surrounded them, wrinkled like the products of oversized and very stressed chickens. the poisonous mucus surrounding them meant they were likely not poipole in nature. poipoles would produce something as purple as them ... wouldn't they? truthfully, that was a question micah would like to answer - having been intrigued by the expedition as a whole due to it possibly being the biggest learning experience she could go on for the time being. "try not to touch anything - at least not with your bare hands." already trying to find debris to put into streams of mucus that came from the egg piles, she tried testing the possibility of taking one of the eggs. even if it meant tearing mother/s from offspring, it was in the name of science and for science, anything could be done.[break]
however, danny didn't seem to really allow for such an idea to be acted on just then.[break]
closing her eyes, micah almost let out a frustrated sigh. why was it exactly that he seemed to be the most mentally susceptible to these things? did the poison and neurotoxins have something to do with androgens?[break]
"i'll look after him," micah offered as she looked up at andrea and shalin in a means to say she would perform a quick 'lay on hands' as the team paladin and try to fill in the role of a makeshift cleric. "although we shouldn't split up too much, feel free to keep looking forward a bit further to see if the coast is clear." looking upon danny who was now in her arms, laid across her lap with his head elevated to allow the draining of his clear emesis, she summoned her hatterene to omit a continual and steady heal pulse to finish off what life dew maybe could not. micah was hoping heal pulse would work as a detoxifying move while life dew was more of a replenishing tactic when it came to things like hemorrhages or electrolyte loss. together, they could get danny back up and running. even so, it didn't keep her from clutching onto his frame just a little too tightly, her nails digging into him as her brows furrowed in concern at his obvious inability to tough out such an excursion. had it been a mistake to let him come out there? had she pushed him too hard?[break]
"also remember, everything is fine." looking up at the two other women, micah offered a goofy - calm smile that betrayed her concern. "so don't start freaking out on me as well, girly pops. we'll make it out just fine. at least we don't have a big group of something-or-others chasing us this time, right?" having not knocked on wood when saying this, it may have ended up as a jinx.

Shaggy had another freakout, and this one was much more severe than the last. The young man was acting like he was in genuine pain. Shalin was quick to respond to the emergency by having her Milotic cast its Life Dew on him. Spoony followed suit, casting a Calm Mind on the panicking human to dispel those gruesome hallucinations.

Taking the distraught youth in her arms, Scoob did some actual doctoring, using her Hatterene to do some more targeted healing. She told the other two girls to remain calm, but this place never allowed them a second to catch their breaths...

No sooner had the woman tempted fate than a ghostly wail echoed throughout the hallway, a hulking shadow shambling towards the group. Andrea gasped in horror. It was the corpse of a large Megalopolan with a Nihilego controlling it by way of its toxin. Halfway engulfed by the see-through jellyfish, its flesh and muscle tissue were preserved thanks to the chemicals within the Ultra Beast's body, but it was nothing more than a lifeless puppet animated by the parasite's will.

The gargantuan zombie pounded its beefy fists against the ground, causing the metallic floor beneath them to splinter. Its self-preservation instincts were long gone, the force of the attack causing its own bones to break. "P-Psyshock!" The dragon-hooded girl ordered while trying to steady herself. Spoony pointed his namesake utensils not at the undead monstrosity, but at the puppet master, striking Nihilego with his psionic powers.

It had all been a whirlwind, his excursion partners' voices no more than ringing in his ears. Everything fell white the moment that the Milotic in Shalin's party hit him with a life dew. While it had helped to relieve him of the unfathomable pain that he suffered, it lacked any relief in his psyche which had been affected the most in the illusory attack. It's not until Alakazam's move of Calm Mind that Danny really feels any sense of calm. His eyes manage to refocus from how they had previously been glazed over. More importantly, he began to ground himself, the feeling of possessive nails that dug into his skin enough to jolt him back into reality.

Though it didn't seem he had long to recover from his original shock. Danny scrambled back to his feet quickly at the sight of the physically possessed megalopolan that the Nihilego used as a marionette. Without any sense of hesitation, he grabbed his Luxray and allowed his poke ball to shine with a mysterious glow. It was a wonder how he managed to obtain such a thing, but as he threw out his Luxray, it seemed to shine with a blue tint to it, almost as if crystals had formed around it to offer it stronger protection. And rather than strike with an electric based move, Danny went for something much more potent.

"Richie! Use tera blast!"

The dragon-charged electric type took a firm stance back and soon let out a charged howl. As it roared through the wreckage, the soundwaves formed into two serpent-like dragons that coiled into one single beam that then slammed into the megalopolan in a charged attack. It seemed it had been too much punch, as the corpse had been sent flying, limbs ripped from the cadaver and sent every which way. It's almost like the being had no resistance to it, which perhaps was best for the group.

For now, he kept his terastallized pokemon out in case anything else tried to sneak up on them. And after what felt like decades, Danny finally came across the door with a particular label on it. The oddest thing was that he was still able to read it, the first sense of proof throughout their excursion that megalopolans seemed to share a similar language as them. He kept this as a mental note for a later time. The label read engine room, and with their destination found, Danny pushed the door open.

"Let's get through this before anything else tries to come after us."

Sure, he was still shook up from his previous experience, but he knew he couldn't slow the group down anymore than he already had.

tl;dr
- all healed up
- terastallizes luxray and attacks the megalopolan, effectively destroying the marionetted corpse
- finds the engine room

prompts completed
17 begin building a base camp/settlement of some kind.
24 suffer a grievous or fatal injury or injuries that ends up being a hallucination.
use terastallization in a pivotal way

The clutches of Ultra Beast eggs seemed to get more and more frequent as the quartet of explorers descended deeper into the ship. "I know better than that, Micah," Shalin reiterated with confidence, a cloth-covered Buzzwole egg still in its own dedicated section of her bag. The combination of Life Dew and Heal Pulse refreshed Shalin and her entire team, and presumably their allies, as well. She was tapped out on healing, though; without rare medicine she didn't have, such as Max Ether, the Milotic wasn't doing any more healing.

Shalin and her Pyroar looked away as engaged the Nihilego, a terrifying creature she wanted absolutely nothing to do with in close quarters. Even she began to shiver, her skin tingling and some of her hair standing on end. The Head Scientist was right; these realms were unlike anything she had been to before.

"Great find, Danny!" Shalin chirped as she led the way alongside the Internet sensation. The derelict machinery inside the large room was nothing short of extraordinary, featuring technology beyond the wildest dreams of the human race. "Perpetual Reactor?" Shalin asked, pointing to a label above a translucent cylinder connected to a large number of tubes. Suddenly, the door the group entered through slammed shut with an electronic lock that clicked loudly. Klaxons filled the air alongside an unsettling, genderless electronic voice:

NONALITH TAKEN! NONALITH TAKEN! NONALITH TAKEN!

Red lights in the room flashed on and off as monitors suddenly came to life, many of them locked on a blood-curdling screen:

SECURITY PROTOCOL INITIATED! EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY! 03:00.00

Seconds after the alarm started, that three-minute timer began counting down. "Holy shit!" Shalin swore. Anyone who knew her knew that if she let out profanity, it was serious stuff. "We need to get out of here, NOW!" She attempted to drag onto her Pyroar's back one person who didn't already have a mount Pokémon out. There was just one problem.

With the door they entered by locked, they would need to find a new way out.
