redeeming shadow sludge from mantine surfing to shadow a gacha shiftry!

(the other mantine surfing rewards have been put into PC as well)

Lutgarde takes a deep breath of salty air. "Think we're ready for the last stretch, not, buddy?" they smile, exhaling another time as the Mantine starts to take off towards a wave. "Steady ...!"

Bubbles emerge from Lutgarde as they believe to have found another beautiful red crystal - maybe reminiscent of the Dynamax phenomena ... but nope, that's just an ordinary crystal, but one that's not less beautiful because of it.

The room which Morrighan has found does not have a door, but there's plenty of things that they could use to construct something momentarily. A door, to start with, and then maybe arrange some things so they might resemble a table, something like chairs, even a bed-like structure ... After shifting around some things, Lutgarde does stop, however, pausing pensively for a moment.

"There's ... no dust here." But further than that, they don't really think whether it might be the lack of living beings or a careful caretaker that still cleans this place regularly. "That's nice. Then we shouldn't have to worry about things becoming too ... abandoned, I guess, even if it's fairly remote for a camp, too."

Still, they could feel the tired in their bones, and take the opportunity to sit down on one of the debris filled crates. "Oh, here's also a window ..."

EXPEDITION TEAM

FAREWELL, MY FREE ADVENTURERS!

CHARACTERS: Lutgarde Dijkstra Morrighan Cahill
EXPEDITION #: lutgarde 3/3, morrighan 2/2
SELECTED PROMPT #s: 18, 21, 23, 24 + special hunt for lutgarde
NOTES: no gimmicks on either side still wohoo

18 begin building a base camp/settlement of some kind.
21 experience the kingdom's song lowering tempo, causing all mechanizations, including soulless pokemon, to slow dramatically.
23 encounter a broken down volcanion that has been crushed by metal or gears who gains a moment of lucidity/life, but "dies" or malfunctions before it can impart any information.
24 break apart a machine or mechanism (not a pokemon) and witness what appears to be a soul being released.

🗺️ SPECIAL HUNT: your character(s) will be able to encounter a VOLCANION that can speak. You must win its trust in some way, for it is wary of humans due to an unknown reason, but perhaps related to the events that have transpired in this kingdom a long time ago.

It guards several SOUL-HEARTS that it is attempting to repair. It will manage to repair one Soul-Hearts by chance as it transfers some of its INFINITY ENERGY to it, shortening the Volcanion's life. The Volcanion is doing this in an attempt to find the MAGEARNA it had sworn to protect a long time ago, believing itself to be the last surviving "knight" of the royal guard.
Bringing one SOULLESS MAGEARNA to the Volcanion will allow your character(s) to open a hatch on the Magearna's chest to install the Soul-Heart in order to grant it "life", which then can be captured.

Instead of a MAGEARNA, you may encounter and catch a STAKATAKA that has managed to displace itself here. Whether it is here from Hoenn or another location in ULTRA SPACE is unknown.

Lutgarde, having grown up with the whispers of those legends, shivers as their ride might even seem to slow in this eerie landscape. "To brilliant, vibrant life ... there's also the opposite." It's the only warning they can give Shalin before they already come face-to-face with the eternal rival, opponent of Xerneas.

It's hard to tell if it's actually animosity that drives these forces, or at least this is what Lutgarde believes and the crystals might make manifest. It's hard for them to truly imagine that life and death are not only on opposing ends, but actually trying to one-up one another. Still, in this scenario, Yveltal's influence has spread too much. Below the stone-like surfaces, one could almost see the motion that should accompany the landscape here, but is utterly lacking.

The red-black bird matches Lutgarde's aesthetics far more, as the group comes to a halt facing it. It regards them with a seemingly calculating look, clouded over by something that also glitters - perhaps a sign of the tera crystals at work here.

"Let's give it out all for the last attempts!" Lutgarde grins as the organisation people announced that they'd close the beach and everything soon. "Think you still got it in you?" Instead of replying, the Mantine already heads for another wave!

Lutgarde signals Sylv, Noh and Garnet that they wouldn't dive for too long anymore which seems to fire all of them up even more. Garnet especially seems to be eager to find sparkly things ... it's a pity that Lutgarde has forgotten about her earlier.

"I think we could ..." Lutgarde ponders as they swim towards another wave - it's slower this time, giving them a bit more time to chat while also actively attempting another jump. "What do you think? Oh, here-"

It seems that Sylv managed to sneak in another treasure, but they then finally could have their relaxing and refreshing lunch after all. It doesn't take long, however, until they all leisurely start diving again.

After the performance, Lutgarde takes a moment to look at the robotic, but a more pragmatic thought quickly takes up place in their mind as they see if there might be anywhere they could take shelter for a little while. They find themself growing slightly weary now, and a break would be appreciated now that they aren't actively chased by something like during their last visit. It gives them time to take in this area properly, with its strange, yet oddly soothing machinations.

"Hmm? Let me see, maybe we can figure something out ... if there's a door, that would be ideal, of course." With that, they and Sylv follow Morrighan towards the room, a room which they would see about preparing so it could work as a camp, a base perhaps. Even if it's also in a fairly unideal location.
