“Woah..” Stepping through the fantastical gardens, he followed the path with his pokemon companion. It had felt right to bring along one of his longest standing partners– the anxious rowlet having long grown up into a mellow, but attentive decidueye. He couldn’t explain, exactly, what compelled him, but it had.[break][break]

Lam made his way up to the chateau as it had been called. “Some sight, huh dude?” Green eyes rose up along the exterior of the building as they stood in the shadow of it. Beside him, his decidueye mirrored his trainer’s movement, a series of hoots following. “Yeah, bet it’s gonna be mad cool.”[break][break]

He’d heard good things about ’s minor league gym, but outside of the gym leader chat, he’d yet to actually meet the other. Lam was curious, and enjoyed partaking in the challenges set by the other gym leaders– including the minor leagues. But thus far, he’d only managed to complete ’s.[break][break]

They passed through the doors of the chateau itself, and Lam’s head craned on his neck as he sought out any sign of Desiree, and the trademark bright pink of her hair that he recalled from the icon alongside her screen name. He eyed the bowls near another door curiously, head tilting, but didn’t attempt to take from their contents.[break][break]

It had been far too long since Desiree had consumed the spores of the mushroom, those curious puffs of dust that allowed the mind to face the most ethereal daydreams and the most vicious nightmares- but it was extra nerve-racking, as this would be the first time indulging with one that she had yet to meet. She wished not to fall into the bleak cycle as she did amidst the challenge of Tsubaki. Of course, it would all come down to mental willpower when it comes to what would blossom within her psyche, but it would be unfair to meddle in the first acquaintance with the one and only nevertheless. Naturally, she would try her best not to let the emotions and fear overcome, but hallucinogens could only spare so much.[break][break]

Yet, how could the universe bring singing lullabies of the flowers and crystalline when darkness sprouted now more than ever before? Turmoil bloomed upward from the rip in the earth that Kyurem brought, and now, toxic chains sprouted from the innocent all the same as they did in the fall of the year prior. The pinkette did not know what or how to perceive her challenger other than sheer friendliness alone, as he did appear quite friendly and precious all the same. Perhaps he was able to grapple with cosmic fear seamlessly, or perhaps he had not yet taken to the sword.. he was an enigma, all things considered. And the curiosity was a mutual feeling.[break][break]

Advancing through the pseudo-royal corridor, unreleased music of hers manifested from hidden speakers in the chateau's ever-expanding floral sprouts, channeled through electrical pokemon proxy. "Lam?" She asked softly as she turned a corner and caught a glimpse, eyes gazing into the brilliant green that had existed as his crown jewel. It was a habit of hers to be overly affectionate with those she had admired closely and from afar, and though she did not have much to go off of, she still picked up the pace and gave him a big welcoming hug regardless.[break][break]

"Oh, it's such a bénédiction to finally get to meet you in person~! ♡ And your hair is so pretty, o m g.. at first, I was like, oh, is he going to be blonde.. or have green hair? Lighting goes crazy so much, so I couldn't help but wonder.. and now here you are, and it looks so so amazing~! I have to get a wig just like it, it's such a fantastique color." She said with a smile, holding a bejeweled hand out for him to grace after pulling away from her shameless, innocent embrace she sought. A Vespiquen appeared from the blossoms to float beside her, having had enough of its floral feast to be fully ready for the upcoming challenge.[break][break]

"Come, walk and talk with me," she said softly with a giggle of excitement and delight, ".. how've you been holding up in the fucked up world we're made to live in?"

He had little understanding of what exactly he was about to get himself into. That said, he was still curious about how Desiree ran things here. Particularly her non-traditional option. He noticed the thrum of music just before she appeared. It would be nice, ultimately, to forget everything occurring outside by way of a gym match. They didn't just stop because Hoenn was coming apart at the seams (literally,) after all.[break][break]
Lam turned toward the sound of Des' voice, hand raising in greeting - but he was quickly wrapped up in a hug of warm welcome. "Oh, uhh, hey," he replied, a laugh creeping up the back of his throat. Not that he minded, he didn't. Any awkwardness wasn't personal by any stretch. He was just surprised by her immediate friendliness. And then she was off, and he watched her as he tried to keep up with the steady flow of dialogue. It was lucky that his fiancé was just as talkative at with him - made Lam quicker on the uptake.[break][break]
"Glad to meetcha too! I've been meaning to make my way around to all the minor league sports for too long now. Plus there's no excuse to not get familiar with everyone in the group chat." She was the last, he was pretty sure. He ruffled a hand through his own hair with another bright peal of laughter. "Yep! Green as can be! Always has been."[break][break]
Nothing the presence of her vespiqueen, Artichoke's head dipped in silent greeting, while Lam fell in step alongside the pinkette. He puffed out a breath in response to her question, a scoff of amusement following. "Best as I can, as much as anyone else does, I guess. What about you?" Oh, and he had smoking to prop him up, of course, but he left that off for the time being.

"I still have yet to meet some, too, ♡" she responded softly, nodding her head in resonance. It was one of the things that she always meant to put initiative toward, but always got pushed back in the name of a busy schedule- and the world-shattering things that always had their way in shattering schedules to pieces. Perhaps it was a blessing having a gym in the minor leagues, as all things considered, it now had a way of pulling in those that she wished to speak with while the clock ticked faster and faster.[break][break]

Yet, being asked how she thrived in turmoil like Hoenn was a loaded question, to say the least. A question that allowed virulent thoughts to fester like root-rot beneath the soil of a glistening tree. "Guess you could say the same about me," she said with a partial smile, twiddling her thumbs in hesitation, ".. Kyurem was a real game changer though.. but I don't want the dragon eater to ruin all the psychedelic fun we're about to have, I'm sure that wouldn't be fun for either of us. ♡"[break][break]

Swearings to the universe for what she demanded to accomplish if she were to end up in its shadow again should have sufficed enough, at least, for her. And for all the others that she vowed to protect in taking up her ivy-stained sword of pink crystalline. It was a habit of hers, unintentionally bringing up potentially shared trauma while under the influence of the mushroom compound.. but habits could be broken as could addictions. Plus, she feared the sight of seeing sweet Lam's lips curl into a frown.[break][break]

Clacks of their shoes on the winding marble led them to the SLIDE course; behind its dazzling sign above a grand archway was an expanse that appeared quite ordinary, donning empty canvases and large foam blocks to catch those that were to stray from the main course. It donned vines as it did glistening flower petals every step of the way, alongside miniature hot air balloons that held cannons upon their carriages and many more obstacles to follow suit. What she had centered her vision upon at their arrival, however, was the special bowls that awaited them both, holding a disposable water bottle next to a multi-colored capsule.[break][break]

"You've got a gym of your own, so I doubt I've gotta give you the gym shpeal," she giggled, reaching into the bowl and popping the pill in between her teeth, ".. bottoms up~! But if these get too much for you, just let me know and we can call it off~! ♡ I'd say on the fucked-up scale.. they get you, like, and eight.. or a nine, maybe."[break][break]

They were fast-acting compounds; if Lam were to take him, the ordinary factors of the chateau would come to life in the psychedelic haze. Perhaps it was simply due to the pressing of a button tucked away in her pocket, but the empty picture frames would now don fluctuating colors depicting pure, abstract art. Scenery would begin to waver, plants could begin calling out to him in ways unimaginable- it would all boil down to his inner desires, and on the other side of the coin, inner turmoils.[break][break]

Another click of a remote in her pocket brought a floral countdown upon the screen that sat at the start of the track. From sixty downward, it hopefully would give him enough time to prepare- Desiree used this to stretch as well as she could as the kaleidoscope vision hit, and to look at how her challenger's face melded. It looked a bit foresty, but a bit floral like spring to her. Cute![break][break]

"Just.. throw yourself in, depend on your hootie cutie~!" She encouraged, holding a hand out to meet the honey-dripping underbelly of the Vespiquen. It took things seriously in the chateau, a princess, if you will- but it waved and shot a wink to the grass type regardless.[break][break]

Soon enough, the timer ran all the way down to five.. then four.. then three.. then.. you get the rest. At a cutesy exclamation of go from the speakers, a pre-recorded feat, she shot into the opening part with a sprint, accompanied by the bee's fluttering wings to keep up. Oddly enough, this was her first time taking this kind of challenge on foot- and though the injuries brought upon by an Iron Boulder had healed, she was just as worried about it giving out as she was vomiting due to exertion. Oh well, the challenge had to be done! And it was starting, albeit a bit faster than she had anticipated.. but her fingers were ultimately trigger-happy.[break][break]

Hopefully, Lam was of the athletic sort.. but in the end, with all the things in the region that brewed turmoil, who wasn't these days?[break][break]

...[break][break]

OBSTACLE ONE | ♡¸.•'[break][break]

The 'slide' track's first obstacle consists of a sharp turn to the right, and following this, a sharp turn to the left. Hovering above this section is a hot-air balloon shooting large plastic balls, like soft boulders tumbling down, and has slightly raised platforms- if stepped on, these platforms will launch challengers backward or at the walls. The walls are lined with bouncy inflatable tubes.[break][break]

Please react to taking on the prompt in your post and roll once at the end of your post! You may begin to use one move of your pokemon's per post to fend off obstacles of your choice starting now, which will net you an advantage roll in the post after your upcoming post. I will be sending you a visual reference of the zones of the track imminently. DM me if you have any questions, and don't forget the effects of the mushroom spore pill!

HLam nods, a crooked grin tugging at his mouth. “All in good time.” Hoenn has a way of making things chaotically busy at even the best of times, so it makes sense that she’s not managed to meet everyone yet. But the start is there, and that’s what counts. He didn’t meet everyone all in one day, either.[break][break]
“No way we’ll let it ruin a good time,” he agrees easily. A shake of his head emphasizes his belief. “If anything, I think the gyms can help us forget for a little while, y’know?” A reminder of how things should be, if the world around them would just calm down and allow the natural procession of life move at an easy pace without totally unraveling.[break][break]
He follows her, still taking in the grandiosity of the place, quick footsteps keeping him from getting left behind or turned around. Something he can imagine might be easy to do in a place like this if he weren’t quick to find the starting line she guides him to.[break][break]
“Nahhh,” he waves a hand nonchalantly, “I know the lowdown.” He pauses, though, eyeing the pill she pops before he plucks one up of his own. “I’m curious about this part, though, not gonna lie.” Not because he’s wary of whatever side-effects it might caused—as evidenced by the way he quickly follows suit. The capsule drops on his tongue and rolls back until it drops down his throat. “That’s a hella high.” Lam grins, flashing her a thumbs up—“You got it, I’ll be sure to do that.”[break][break]
Granted, he wonders if he’ll really be thinking about whether or not it’s too much once the high really kicks in full swing. Probably not. It’s definitely bound to be stronger than what he’s used to smoking.[break][break]
And as it turned out, the reaction did not take long at all. His gaze rounded, going wide as the castle’s interior melts in a swirl of color and bright imagery around them. Scenery that was already colorful intensifies. As if the life of the garden and its pokemon swell to a greater size to swallow them up. “Woah,” he mutters, gawking outright as he blinks rapidly, “that’s some pill.”[break][break]
Oblivious, of course, to any enhanced special effects that she might be controlling.[break][break]
Lam’s attention pulls to the loud countdown that rises above them—a low laugh slipping free as he nudges his companion playfully. “Hear that? Ya got me, don’cha?” Artichoke eyes him with a steady blink, and a low, amused hoot assures his trainer that Artie does, in fact, got him.
He watches the vespiqueen owlishly, a flick of his wing returning the acknowledgement.[break][break]
As the buzzer sounds, Lam takes off in pursuit. Artichoke’s wings flutter at a steady pace as he trails Lam closely. Running—he can at least do that now without getting too winded. Plenty of time spent training with previously helped build that habit. He stumbles with a laugh on the first turn, only to veer sharply into an opposite one.[break][break]
When the track opens back up, he’s not expecting the drop of the big, bouncy balls. They look like…globs of ice cream? Or…something. A he steps to avoid one, he doesn’t notice the platform launcher as his foot plants on it. He’s shot like a rocket into the inflated tubing along the walls with a confused howl of laughter.[break][break]
“Artie!” he’s far from upset, but he signals his decidueye, hand waving to show he’s okay. The world wobbles around them, and he squints hard to see ahead. With the bouncy balls in the way, it’s kind of hard to see the clear path.[break][break]
The decidueye’s head cocks to the side and then his wings drum. He stirs up an OMINOUS WIND, the breeze pushing the obstacles away so that Lam can cross—hopefully avoiding anymore of those pesky platform triggers.[break][break]

The hoot of the Decidueye in response to her encouragement echoed through her psychedelic, melting senses, bringing a smile to her face as she proceeded into the track. "That's what I wanna see~! ♡" She exclaimed in delight, followed by a mimicry of its happy trill. Despite the cuteness of their interactions that she could hear, and predictably envision with a hazy, day-dream depiction in her mental canvas, Desiree wished to push that bond further; and the tone set, a beautiful distraction from the turmoil as confirmed by Lam, made it feel like the test would be filled with love rather than putrid paranoias.[break][break]

Decadent stretching of the track, even though predictable, made the turns quite difficult to see- where the walls existed as guidance showed as melding vines and their floral buds, a false reality unlocked by foreign entities on the mind. She sprinted in a way that would surely lead her to slam head-first into one of the plush, blow-up bouncy pads. Noticing this, the Vespiquen swept down and grabbed her hand with its own, using its habitual buzzing as a way for its trainer to detect that it was near.[break][break]

"Honey, my sweet," she said giddily, being tugged in the direction of the upcoming obstacles, ".. bring all the buzzy-buzzies~! We've got a show to put on the road~! ♡"[break][break]

It was already planning to do just that at the sight of the rolling boulders. Popping out its underlings from the hive below its structured dress, the Vespiquen attempts to use an ATTACK ORDER on the balls as a way to clear the path. The little bees fluttered toward a ball with their heads rather than their stingers, wishing to push the balls out of the way! Though the OMINOUS WIND did send chills up their tiny spines, there was no way they would forsake their honey queen.[break][break]

The effects of the psychedelic compound bring fruitful gifts to the vision as they bring detriments to the adjustment of, essentially, doing a full-body workout while under the influence. The ticking of the countdown to the release into the track allowed both and to exist side by side as they flung into the race alongside their companions, using various techniques to blow away obstacles.[break][break]

Both the Decidueye's OMINOUS WIND and the Vespiquen's ATTACK ORDER manage to make clear paths for both of them to navigate through- but each of their clear paths side by side opened up the ability to falter and be flung backward by the spring platforms. Though Desiree stumbled on the edge of one and fell, she managed to catch herself and run in her daze to the next obstacle after picking herself off the ground; yet Lam was not so lucky. Even after the initial triggering of the spring platform, which would have provided only a mere gap between the two, another triggered underneath his feet.[break][break]

He is flung to the start of the spring platform field and once again subject to the rolling of the boulder balls, all while Desiree speedily advances to the next obstacle.[break][break]

OBSTACLE PROMPTS | ♡¸.•'[break][break]

♡ Desiree advances to obstacle two while Lam has to make a second attempt at the first obstacle.[break][break]

♡ OBSTACLE ONE (LAM):[break]
the 'slide' track's first obstacle consists of a sharp turn to the right, and following this, a sharp turn to the left. hovering above this section is a hot-air balloon shooting large plastic balls, like soft boulders tumbling down, and has slightly raised platforms- if stepped on, these platforms will launch challengers backward or at the walls. the walls are lined with bouncy inflatable tubes.[break][break]

Please react to taking on the prompt in your post and roll twice* at the end of your post! You may use one move of your pokemon's per post to fend off obstacles of your choice, which will net you an advantage roll in the post after your upcoming post. DM me if you have any questions, and don't forget the effects of the mushroom spore pill! *: you have advantage due to the use of 'ominous wind', though your roll does not net you advantage due to being lower than 76. desiree gets advantage due to use of 'attack order', though her roll does not net her advantage due to being lower than 76.[break][break]

♡ OBSTACLE TWO (DESIREE):[break]
The 'slide' track's second obstacle, following the bend to lead to a straightaway in the course, opens up much more than before. It is a single platform coated entirely in pink and red rose petals, and if closely inspected by the challenging pokemon, has a set of nine holes making divots in the floral arrangement. Though this platform is raised on both sides, making a U shape that pokemon can attempt to take to avoid the holes, the sides are lined with extremely slippery ice. If the holes in the flat part of the path are stepped on, big inflatable hearts shall shoot out, flinging challengers toward the ice or the start of the second obstacle.[break][break]

Color springs up and swirls in his vision as Lam and Artie attempt to clear the platform. Somewhere to his right, he can hear the droning buzz of the vespiqueen’s loyal subjects as they swarm to assist Desiree. The sound hums loud in his ears, loud cacophony, and he’s distracted from his task just long enough to hit the wrong platform. Despite the OMINOUS WIND that pushed him forward, the springboard launches him, and Lam goes flying again with a yelp of surprise.[break][break]
The sound quickly dissolves into more laughter as he rolls across the mats. “Artieeee we gotta get outta here!” The decidueye hoots, the sound exasperated as another volley of the large, rubber balls descend to block their way. Lam shoves himself up, and the world sways around him, the colors sharp, but liquified.[break][break]
“Okokokok, we’ll get it this time,” the gym leader grins and takes off again, managing to avoid the first platform. The shadow of one, bright pink boulder ball looms over him. It looks like one of those bubblegums you can get out of a coin machine, just mega large. Viney flora rips up from the earth, crawling over the mats to push the ball into the others as they begin to cascade.[break][breka]
Another hoot comes from Artichoke, urging Lam to go while the FRENZY PLANT holds the obstacle at bay. “Okay, I’m goin!” He takes off at a sprint, launching himself off the mats in the hope he won’t hit the wrong platform again.

Though it was her responsibility to give her challengers a true challenge, hearing the beautiful, melodic hoots enhanced by the substance begin to fade into the background made her heart feel a tad sad. It was not like she wanted to leave the challenger that she currently faced off against in the dust, as she wished to learn more and more about what could be one of her future counterparts- yet, she figured something big would have to happen to push her toward truly becoming one of his equals.[break][break]

The holes in the track were one of the few things she could remember from her previous, psychedelic hazes she had encountered. Yet, despite this, she could not recall exactly where they were. Sprinting toward them with her hand resting on the Vespiquen's arm, it trilled in delight and fear all the same- it had absolutely no interest in taking the sides with the ice, just as its trainer.[break][break]

"Do you hear the flower petals chirping, Honey?" She asked the bee pokemon, which tilted its head in confusion. "Maybe it's just your little ones.."[break][break]

Extending its other hand outward, a beautiful AROMATIC MIST manifested from the folds in its structural exoskeleton; it did not want its poor pinky trainer to slip on the petals, that had more words than not. Maintaining its focus as the two entered the zone, it wished for the pink mist to scatter the petals and make a clear path.[break][break]

"Better catch up soon, Lam~! ♡ I won't be able to yell this loud for much longer~!"[break][break]

The effects of the mushroom spore compound were not for the faint of heart, and luckily, neither of those who had taken it fell into such a category of a lack of preparation. Though was an obstacle behind at this point, taking on an obstacle the second time around typically gave more advantages than it did disadvantages- the FRENZY PLANT did exactly what his dearest Decidueye wished to accomplish and more, being that not only did it hold the bouncy balls of ice cream at bay, but it allowed their previously cleared path to be taken without a single launch pad being triggered. advances to the obstacle two.[break][break]

Meanwhile, on the obstacle that arrived at following the first, took to it with ample strides. The AROMATIC MIST the Vespiquen had channeled through its palms picked up the chirping petals and scattered them about, not only giving the two an advantage but an advantage once he would take to it. It showed a clear path, leaving all but two of the holes veiled. As they took to it, her leg slipped into a hole and triggered one of the inflatables.. launching her toward the next obstacle, luckily, but slamming her body into the soft ground. advances to obstacle three.[break][break]

: The 'slide' track's third obstacle following the field of flowers and inflatable hearts starts with a jump over an open piece of the ground, and despite its smaller nature due to being designed to have been taken on foot, may present as much larger due to the effects of the mushroom spore pill. After making this jump, the course forks into two identical paths, almost like riding on the ridges of a donut; they are sloped to raise upward from the center, increasing the chances of falling into the foam pit in the center. On both of these paths rests a variety of activated pink balloon columns, moving back and forth; if not taken wisely, these may bump trainers to the start of the obstacle or off the course into the foam pit!

[attr="class","text"] Finally, they managed to make it across the platforms without being launched backward in a disorienting tunnel. As Lam scrambled up to the next level, he threw up both arms in woozy celebration. “Wooooo, we did it!” The owl beside him cooed in amusement before nudging him along with the sweep of one wing–pointing to where had also continued on, and was now smack talking him from higher up.[break][break]
He cupped his hands around his mouth, yelling back, “You won’t know what hit’cha!!” He’d catch up!! He just…he just had to make it past this next one.[break][break]
“Hey! Thanks for the hint!” He called after her again, playfully so. Lam grinned, staring down the clear path they’d left behind. The petals were pushed away, leading him to the exaaaact right drop. Suddenly, he didn’t trust his legs too much, though. Looking down, he grimaced (a comedic expression, to be sure,) at the sight. They looked, for all intents and purposes, like wobbly noodles. “Where’d my bones go, huh?”[break][break]
Attempting a step, he floundered. “Uh oh.” Turning to the decidueye, he gave Artie a thumbs up. “Think ya can throw me a line?” In the bird’s perspective, Lam was just standing there. Perfectly normal, not a single thing amiss. He shook his head.[break][break]
Swooping ahead to the other side, Artichoke twisted back and fired off a spectral arrow, the tethering SPIRIT SHACKLE planting in front of Lam for him to take hold off so that he could pull his trainer, skidding and sliding all the way over slick ice and flower petals.

Faltering ever so slightly onto one of the spring launchers, flowers and squeals of disorientation led her to.. the start of the next obstacle? It was difficult to spot, but she could spot it nevertheless- though, with the playful response from behind her, her rapid heartbeat brought her to giggle at the determination of her challenger.[break][break]

“Don’t let all of the obstacles hit’cha~! You’re doing great Lam!” she cheered in return, using the moment of looking back at his blur as the tiniest rest break in the world. Within her peering, she could not see him but rather the flowers that wound up the sides of the track- and faces of all those who had wished harm upon her soul upon their centres.[break][break]

She shook her head and honed in on what she could see before her- the donut shape that awaited her. It was firstly an abyss, though the jump was never that big- though disorienting, she backed up a few centres and bridged it with all of her might.[break][break]

“Cover me, honey,” she spoke to the Vespiquen, which floated ever so gracefully beside her, “.. not in honey, though. That would be so..”[break][break]

Forget that. Shooting out underlings one at a time, the honey mother shot a hand out and led them, and herself, to hold onto Desiree’s sides as she ran toward the left side. Though it was no telling where the moving obstacles were, the bees aimed to take the hits rather than their trainer with a DEFENSE ORDER.[break][break]

Though the giving of a hint in her previous round was quite unintentional, 's prior clearing of the path gave quite the advantage when it came to taking on his obstacle; though nothing could compare to the tethering of the SPIRIT SHACKLE. Throughout his psychedelic haze, he may feel may things presenting from his mind and the track alike- though success and moving to the next obstacle is the most explicit of the messages.[break][break]

As for , the DEFENSE ORDER following her big, big jump gave fruitful blessings, too. Though the bouncy bits of the track showed no mercy, the hug of the Vespiquen now on her back and the underlings on each part of her skin repelled them like bug spray to a bug! Some underlings were made to retract into their queen's shell, though they passed with ease to the next obstacle, too.[break][break]

PROMPT[break]
♡ desiree advances to obstacle four while lam advances to obstacle three.[break][break]

@lam: the 'slide' track's third obstacle following the field of flowers and inflatable hearts starts with a jump over an open piece of the ground, and despite its smaller nature due to being designed to have been taken on foot, may present as much larger due to the effects of the mushroom spore pill. after making this jump, the course forks into two identical paths, almost like riding on the ridges of a donut; they are sloped to raise upward from the center, increasing the chances of falling into the foam pit in the center. on both of these paths rests a variety of activated pink balloon columns, moving back and forth; if not taken wisely, these may bump trainers to the start of the obstacle or off the course into the foam pit![break][break]

please react to taking on the prompt in your post and roll two times* at the end of your post! you may use one move of your pokemon's per post to fend off obstacles of your choice, which will net you an advantage roll in the post after your upcoming post. dm me if you have any questions, and don't forget the effects of the mushroom spore pill! *: you have advantage due to the use of 'spirit shackle', though no additional advantage due to rolls being below 76. desiree gets double advantage through using 'defense order', and receives double advantage.[break][break]

: The 'slide' track's fourth obstacle consists of a single, fairly large platform leading upward with a significant incline. This platform is made almost entirely of slippy ice, accompanied by arrays of sparkling gemstones deep within of all types. A nightmare to try to run upward, though indeed possible, the quirk of this obstacle resides in either the motivation to take it slow and slip upward, or stepping on the ever so familiar green square panels scattered about. Like in a previous obstacle, if stepped on these platforms will shoot outward in a random direction; either toward the start of obstacle four or if lucky, the last obstacle. And to make things worse, at the end are fans pushing melted ice downward to further this obstacle's difficult nature.

“Wahoo!” he whooped as he slipped across the track, Artichoke keeping him tethered so that he didn’t veer off course. “Nailed it!” Lam shot a thumbs up at the decidueye then cast hazy eyes ahead where crossed to the other side. “Ya hear that, Des!” he called out, grin wide as he cupped his hands around his mouth. “I’m on your heels!”[break][break]
When he turned back toward the jump he had to make, his eyes went round as the drop stretched out ahead of him. “Woah.” The space flexed and seemed to grow wider–a threat to swallow him whole the longer he stared. “Guess we gotta.” He shrugged before taking a running leap over the edge.[break][break]
It felt like slow motion, arms propelling as he vaulted over the gap. Artie swooped under him, wings spread as he flew over easily– though careful to keep pace with Lam lest he drop in midair. But of course, the distance was not all that great in truth.[break][break]
The donut shaped platform curved out ahead, and Lam pointed right. “Let’s go the other way!” Squinting, he could make out Desiree ahead on the other side, a buzzing glow around her that rippled outward. It was like she was floating in a haze of amber, the air around her vibrating. His head tilted, confused at how she could do that, but he shook himself and tried to refocus on the path that looked as dense and doughy as an actual donut.[break][break]
“Cover me?” He ran along the curve, feet stumbling every few paces as the decidueye swooped alongside him. Artichoke brandished a sharp beam of light that compacted itself until it glowed with fortified intensity. The SOLAR BLADE swiped outward as he flanked his trainer, cutting through the puffy, wavering columns.

"Better on my heels than on my toes," she exclaimed excitedly back at her counterpart, feeling the reverberation of the honey underlings like a speaker touching each part of her arms, ".. heels, shoulders, knees, and toes, Lam~! That's the secret to it, you have to use each one wisely!"[break][break]

Though she had not purposefully replaced heads with heels, it was all the more fitting for the psychedelic predicament she found herself in.. as her mind was going haywire, even with the assistance brought upon by the mobile beekeeping pokemon. Each buzz of a bee whispered a message of malice into her senses. She wished to forget and grow from these things, all of her past mistakes. A pang in her stomach presented as she made her way to the next obstacle that awaited her, yet labored, emotional breaths took hold of her just as quickly as did the paranoia that he could hear them too.[break][break]

"The spores tell lies, Lam. Don't listen to the voices, if you hear them," she cried out in a completely different demeanor than before, faltering as she indeed listened to them, ".. focus on the flowers instead.. or the precious one you brought with you today.."[break][break]

A gemstone awaited her gaze rather than a brilliant sprout, concealed in ice. It was a way out. The Vespiquen cocked an eyebrow at the sight of Desiree running toward it, and the sheet of ice.. and desperately tried to keep up as its trainer flung herself toward the nearest green, bouncy pedestal. As her mind had been so distracted, so distraught by the voices, no orders had been doled. Just flinging herself into the palms of fate, as she wished to feel something other than the pangs of the voices dying to come out.

MOD POST[break]
♡ Despite his and Artichoke's ample efforts in slicing at the wavering columns, which had been successful, luck had not been on 's side in clearing the path on obstacle three. This was solely as more appeared- further obscuring the path. Perhaps it was the track wanting to protect him from the voices that Desiree wished him not to experience, or perhaps it was the Shiinotic spores looking to claim yet another soul in prolonging his trip to the nullifying pill that awaited him at the end of the track.[break][break]

As for Desiree, her leap of faith in the hands of fate- the hands of a green launching pad, bore fruitful results. Eccentric, fruitful results. They sprung her up the ice sheet into the shadow of the final obstacle, though in doing so, flung her face first into a plush wall. Despite such terrain being built for collision, perhaps the effects of the spores would make it feel as if she was instead flung into a wall made entirely of crystalline. Hard.

PROMPT[break]
♡ desiree advances to obstacle five, though will not be able to attempt it due to falling 'hard' and not giving her vespiquen orders. she will instead enter a state of extreme hallucinations in her next post. lam is made to continue his attempt on obstacle three, though gains an additional roll of advantage* due to desiree being knocked prone as he will have more of a chance to catch up.[break][break]

[attr="class","text"] For all of his confidence, Lam did not have this.[break][break]

More columns sprang up, in what felt like multiples for each one that Artichoke sliced through. They wobbled and Lam wobbled with them, woozy on his rubbery legs before one finally smacked him and sent him tumbling back to the start. Persistent as ever, his decidueye swept back and followed him, prepared to take another approach.[break][break]

He could be a bit of lazy bird, so this did not suit him. His relaxed nature made the idea of simply lifting Lam by the jacket in his talons much more preferable. That way, he could have flapped his way up above the course and carried him through to the end - that simple.[break][break]

But that would defeat the purpose, and though Lam was only in a fit of giggles about the ordeal now - struggling to pull himself up as more laughter sputtered through him...he might have more to say about Artie subverting the rules of a match later. (Only maybe, though. They were typically peas in a pod, for the most part.)[break][break]

"What's she mean, the spores tell lies?" Lam asked the owl, frowning once he finally got back to his feet. "What's that mean, huh?" he repeated in a louder shout to Desiree. Though it was unclear whether or not she heard him. She was too busy smacking into a big, foamy wall. Despite the cushioning, Lam winced. "Do we gotta do that?"[break][break]

Maybe. If they could actually make it there in the first place.[break][break]

It was then, as they turned back to the task to take off running again that the whispers started. Floating up around them in malicious little wisps. Flowers swayed along the course, but the muttering grew into a louder hum. Reminding him of his insufficiencies. His failures to measure up, or his continued fear of that, rather.[break][break]

That he'd never be quite good enough.[break][break]

"Oh. I see now." It was a furtive little mumble, but his steps stuttered, and Artichoke nudged him forward. Shouldn't he just stop? What was the point? Starting with making it through these obstacles. They were symbolic of bigger things. The decidueye nudged him harder as color and noise swirled and swelled up around them. Focus on Artie, she'd said. He blinked sluggishly.[break][break]

With a flap of his wings, the decidueye drew another OMINOUS WIND to dispel the thick press of the spores that hung throughout the track. The wind billowed and pushed at the large pillars that knocked back and forth. Eager to be met with quiet again, Lam took off at another tottering sprint toward the next obstacle.

The impact of her face against the plush wall led her into a psychedelic haze unlike any other- the opening of another world, previously shackled behind fragmentals of pink crystalline. All the meanwhile, her true, physical body slumped against the obstacle course.[break][break]

Flowers unfurled and bloomed as they did wilt- a stasis between life and death. But the real focus of the artificial landscape that her mind presented to her was trauma that she had not yet processed, at least, fully: Kyurem’s gargantuan eye. She could hear her bones snapping with each blink it took.[break][break]

“Why did you have to come?” she asked, but it gave no response she could understand. Only in an ancient draconic tongue without its wretched pink translator beside it- but it surely had perceived her.[break][break]

A tear trickled down her cheek. I smashed a bunch of rocks because of you,” she sniffled, ”.. I made my own swearings to the universe, like the ones you made.”[break][break]

Was it real? No, even if it felt just like it did the time she looked it in the eyes the first time- the only time.[break][break]

Can’t understand you, bitch- any of your processes, your old, mountainous thoughts,” she looked it dead in the eye, ”.. but if I was given the chance, I’d like to.”[break][break]

But she never would be given that chance. Why was it that some powerful beings like these, omnipotent, used their gifts for things unimaginable? Was it that their processes were so different from the nature of humans that they were incapable of bringing eras other than those cloaked in bane and malice? Was it.. their nature?[break][break]

Too bad you’re not real,” a flower trickled dew beside her, opening a ‘portal’ out, ”.. so we can’t chat. So we can’t kill each other.”[break][break]

Stepping into the drop of pink wavering light, she was back in her clear yet ultimately still-hallucinating mind. What was there to gain from what her mind fed itself just now? She did not know. But her feelings remained unchanged- fuck that dragon. Even if it sprawled a future from its lips that she was far too naive to acknowledge pertained explicitly to her.[break][break]

Lam?” she called out, looking around in her daze- but he was still behind. ”You’ll catch up in no time, Lam~! Keep at it!”[break][break]

Brushing herself off, the Vespiquen channeled a honey ROOST to help dissuade her face from bruising.[break][break]

MOD POST[break]
♡ Lam and Artie's efforts in dispelling the obstacles of the track were a flawless victory- the two advanced rather quickly with valor and determination to the next obstacle that awaited them. Meanwhile, Desiree grappled with her own, personal psychedelic hell.. Kyurem's eye in a field of flowers stuck in a stasis of life and death. Though confusing, she prevailed through and will soon be attempting to complete the final obstacle.

PROMPT[break]
♡ desiree breaks through her psychedelic haze and gets to take on the fifth and final obstacle, rolling twice with advantage. lam advances to the fourth obstacle and will roll three times with double advantage (once due to roll, once due to move used)![break][break]

: The 'slide' track's fourth obstacle consists of a single, fairly large platform leading upward with a significant incline. This platform is made almost entirely of slippy ice, accompanied by arrays of sparkling gemstones deep within of all types. A nightmare to try to run upward, though indeed possible, the quirk of this obstacle resides in either the motivation to take it slow and slip upward, or stepping on the ever so familiar green square panels scattered about. Like in a previous obstacle, if stepped on these platforms will shoot outward in a random direction; either toward the start of obstacle four or if lucky, the last obstacle. And to make things worse, at the end are fans pushing melted ice downward to further this obstacle's difficult nature.[break][break]

: The 'slide' track's fifth and final obstacle consists of a single, large expanse of a gap between the final checkpoint platform and the finish line! Within this gap are a series of floating blocks, held up by psychic energies granted to them; the source would be none other than a Hatterene across the finish line, sitting right next to the bowl of sobering pills. The only way to clear this obstacle, and the rest of the course, will be to jump from block to block- and though the fairy type's mental strength is indeed strong, the levitating blocks do move around quite a bit, unstable. If successful in jumping across, the ribbon at the end of the finish line is ripe for the cutting! But if luck is not on the side of the challengers, they will inevitably fall into the foam pit below, soon to be levitated to the beginning of the final obstacle by a similar psychic grasp.

[attr="class","text"] Finally! They made it through without getting bounced back to the start of the obstacle. He threw both fists in the air and let out a woop, though the sound was winded from the running. Swaying on his feet, Lam squinted up at the icy platform—his previously enthusiastic, hazy grin beginning to morph into a grimace the longer he stared. Somewhere he could hear calling out to him in encouragement, but he couldn’t spy the pink waterfall of her long hair.[break][break]

“Uhhh haha, yeah—I’m… right behind ya.”[break][break]

The ice seemed to ripple out ahead of him, reflecting prismatic light as he took a tentative step. “What if I sink..” he said to the decidueye as he inched and slid at the strange, upward angle. Before him, the floes looked like a whole ocean, and he was just a drop in the bucket—ready to slip below the surface as soon as the cool surface melted and cracked through.[break][break]

Behind him, Artichoke hooted and gave him a nudge—away from one of the bright squares that would have assuredly given him trouble. “Okay, yeah…if we run…across it as fast as we can, we won’t fall through! Genius!” The decidueye cast a LIGHT SCREEN around his trainer, earning another cheer as Lam took off at a sprint. The light encased him—and surely it would keep him afloat and buoyant, all the way up!

NOTES


- decidueye uses light screen to ‘shield’ lam. Lam, meanwhile, thinks all the ice has melted and he will fall in if he doesn’t run fast enough. Lol.[break]
- three rolls for the extra advantage on des' setback yes? if not, i'll take that third roll off!!
