Overwhelm him and Arilee with a flurry of status-affecting attacks, then run inside and make for the tunnel.

>>8120393
Which ones?

why is teh pokemans always one on one?

>>8120429
Grasswhistle, Smokescreen, Thunderwave

>>8120476
Remember that Grasswhistle and Thunder Wave won't affect the target at the same time.

>>8120483
Could you explain further on that?

>>8120504
Grasswhistle causes sleep. Thunder Wave causes paralysis. A Pokemon can't be two of those things at once.

>>8120522
...Good point
Alright, how about if one replaced the other? Could that work?

>>8120563
Unfortunately, no. It is, however, possible to be confused and something else at the same time.

>>8120606
Alright, could Magnemite fire off a Thunderwave and a Supersonic at the same time?

>>8120635
Also no, but there's another way of doing it.

>>8120681
Explain, please

>>8120699
Snover knows Swagger.

>>8120944
>Swagger: Confuses the foe, but also sharply raises ATTACK

...That's a bit dicey.

>>8120982
You'd best decide carefully, then.

>>8120982
Not if they're special focused or a staller or something.

>>8121029
Explain?
I'm usually the plan guy, I need an info guy to back me up - somebody that knows how this all works.

Right, I guess I'll take a gamble then.
Could I combine Supersonic and Swagger to make them both EXTREMELY confused?

>>8121304
You could try Swagger and Thunder Wave to leave them confused and paralyzed.

>>8121343
Very well, we'll go for that. And a Smokescreen to leave them blind.

>>8121402
You fire all three of those off, and all of them hit. Skarem shouts something unintelligible as Ariliee reels backward, roaring at nothing; she's no longer directly in front of the door, but Skarem quickly pulls some sort of tube out of his clothing, placing it sideways to where his lips probably used to be.

>>8121578
Have Snover freeze him in place with Icy Wind, then we rush past him into the warehouse.

>>8121628
Snover fires off an Icy Wind, but Ariliee rears up to block it; she doesn't move forward, but Skarem begins playing his (now obvious as one) flute. You get inside the warehouse before you can see the effects, though.

>>8121687
Charmeleon stands outside the tunnel to make sure the others get safely inside, before turning to Gabite, "Destroy the tunnel behind us - we can't let them follow us."

>>8121793
Gabite frowns. "The humans, though, they can't fit through it."

>>8121826
"Then dig so it they do. It doesn't matter if it collapses behind us anymore - we can't leave the tunnel open for Skarem and his goons to find!"

>>8121946
Gabite nods. "Go then, fast! I'll expand the tunnel for the humans!"
At that point, there's a loud crash as Ariliee slams the door away from the warehouse floor, and Skarem's voice echoes in.
"Cornered, you are! I'm surprised to see you here again, after Ari warned you away! It just goes to show that it's the most foolish who have the most luck, eh?"

>>8122007
"You'll see I have more than luck on my side soon enough, Skarem!"
Charmeleon fires off one last Smokescreen before disappearing down the collapsing tunnel.

>>8120365
Good Lord. Thank God you're not at AɳoɳTalk.com.

>>8122129
As you dive into the tunnel, Magnemite and Snover follow closely behind you. Gabite shows up quickly after that, with Courtney and Sarina diving into the tunnel after it's expanded.

>>8122196
We make our way back to the main chamber beneath the abandoned factory.

>>8122214
You do so, although the going is slower than you'd like, trying to not outstrip Gabite and the humans too much. Eventually, though, you pop out of the hole at the other end.

>>8122256
We let the others rest as we emerge from the main chamber beneath the ruined platform and check the inside of the factory.

>>8122326
As you look around the factory, Snover seems to be managing to avoid clinging to you, but only just. Magnemite drifts to the side stoically, like usual, as Gabite and the women emerge. Ferris turns to you as you emerge, looking surprised. "What happened?"

>>8122393
"We had a run-in with Skarem, but we managed to get everyone back in one piece. We had to collapse the tunnel behind us to make sure they couldn't follow us or trace us back here."

>>8122437
Courtney swears violently behind you, and Sarina gives you a grim look. "I think we've blown our cover..."

>>8122467
"No, only the fact that we're here. Skarem still has no idea as to WHERE or WHY - two things that I plan on keeping hidden from him no matter what."

>>8122530
"And who wants to bet on whether his men will be looking into every building in the city to find us?"

>>8122580
"That's why we won't be inside any buildings."

>>8122662
"Where were you going to go?"

>>8122685
Charmeleon points back at the chamber beneath the ruined platform, "We won't be inside any buildings - we'll be underneath them."

>>8122761
"So when they search the buildings, they'll find the holes. And if we collapse the holes, we'll run out of air."

>>8122795
"They won't find the holes, because they'll be covered up - like this one. And we won't run out of air, because there will be more than one."

>>8122850
Stan comes around the corner. "Miss Courtney, what should I tell our comrades? I overheard what you said, and I think that possibly, we could corner Skarem if we attacked the city now, or at least infiltrated it to find him."

>>8122937
"But would we be able to hold the city if we did?"

>>8123045
He sighs. "I'm not sure, but without Skarem, would they be able to hold onto their power?"

>>8123076
"We would need some help with that endeavor. We may be able to take on Skarem alone, but all of his goons stationed here combined would prove too much for us by ourselves. We should organize the townspeople for help first - reunite them with their Pokemon and convince them to fight with us!"

>>8123155
Courtney growls. "That assumes that Skarem won't be constantly patrolling the town himself. How could we get outside to the town houses? And we also need to worry about feeding and keeping a hold of our prisoner."

>>8123228
"We'll dig tunnels to the townhouses. Skarem won't find us then. As for our "guest" - take him back to your base once we've reached it and keep him there."

>>8123280
At that moment, you hear a faint rumbling sound, and then Ariliee's head pops up out from under the ruined platform, followed by her front claws.

>>8123368
...bull shit

>>8123384
TM-learned moves for Charizard include Dig.

>>8123434
Bull
Shit

(Sorry I'm late, I literally just found this thread... That generator that blew up was New Mauville right? Because in theory that was supposed to be under Mauville proper. Also, have we ever heard what happened to the gym?)

>>8123368
...About how realistic are we playing this? Because Sableye has some sharp claws and as a Charizard, Arilee has quite a long neck.

Abruptly, Dialga pops into the room and does some weird shit. Time twists and warps, eventually resetting that event.

>>8123280
"I hope you're right..."
Courtney gives you a troubled look. "Where would we look for the citizens' Poke Balls?"

>>8123659
Seviper would be better with that poisoned knife he calls a tail, but Sableye doesn't want to risk any sudden attacks of feelings...

>>8123659
Due to an IM dispute, I retracted that event.

>>8123694
"We'll have to ask them, and that will wait for the morning, when you and Sarina resume your patrols."

>>8123706
Ah good, because frankly Skarem and Arilee knowing where we were going (especially after you didn't appear to veto Magnemite's distraction maneuver) and then where the tunnel led... Seems like you're trying actively to kill us.

>>8123721
She nods somewhat dubiously, then walks away.

>>8123767
I did express my concerns over it, I think... ah well.

>>8123799
Charmeleon looks to Stan, "Has our guest awakened yet?"

>>8123838
He nods. "Yes, but at least he knows enough to stay quiet..."

>>8123694
"This place was in the pokemon league right? That means it had its own gym. All I know is that it's run by some geezer named... Edison or something.
...It was a couple years ago and I wasn't paying attention all right?
Anyway, my boss told me gym leaders like to mess with people and fill the place with tricks... I'd guess it's the most secure place in this dump."

>>8123799
(No, I guess that must not have gone through, since you just had Charmeleon carry Magnemite apparently for no reason)

>>8123853
"Good, but just in case..."
Charmeleon looks to Snover.
"Snover, do you mind? I think we could all use some rest after tonight, and I don't trust leaving him awake like this."

>>8123860
This factory is the abandoned remains of the gym, which we found out earlier when we looked at the map.

>>8123946
She nods. "You want me to watch him?"

>>8123984
Ah. And what happened to that 'New Mauvile' place... Though I guess almost no one had heard of it.

>>8124012
"New Mauville? I think that was the location of the generator we blew up..."
Also, /co/mrade is gone.

>>8124077
>>8123984
Not gone.

"No, you need sleep to - you deserved it. Play him a lullaby..." (Grasswhistle)

>>8124122
*You need sleep too

>>8124122
Whoops, my apologies.
Snover nods again, then directs a (somewhat weaker) Grasswhistle at the prisoner, who promptly falls asleep, then walks back over to you.

>>8123984
(Hmmm... I assume even if we reactivated it most of the traps have been dismantled a long time ago)

ITT: Retarded man children

>>8124249
>spill the blood of the white devil
>swastika
wat

>>8124162
Charmeleon strokes Snover's head affectionately. "You did great today, Snover. I'm so proud of you."

>>8124229
One would imagine so.

>>8124275
Snover nods, smiling and nuzzling you. "Thanks, Charmeleon... can we really free this town?"

>>8124315
"Indeed, can we? I admit before the odds were in our favor, with a batch of unobservant and outnumbered idiots making up the Team Magma presence, but now that that berserker and his dragon are looking for us... There's nothing here! There's the gym center, which I guess was that factory we were staying at, the generator, which is a ruin, and the Casino... which seems to now be a warehouse. That's all this place has going for it... except I guess for a Pokecenter and Mart... We've been to all the highlights this so-called city has and found nothing.
...Which doesn't make sense, I mean those goons have to sleep somewhere and Skarem should have somewhere nice to stay... Not to mention where all the pokeballs have gone..."

>>8124315
>>8124497
"Don't worry, as long as we stick together, we can do anything. We'll free this town, and save these people. Now, let's get some sleep - we have a lot of work to do in the morning..."

>>8124584
Sleep happens, unless Sableye wants to keep the conversation going.

>>8124618
Nah... Sableye sighs a bit, but honestly, she wasn't expecting anything different.

>>8124807
You sleep. Eventually, you all wake up to the sunlight of a bright new day streaming through the windows.

>>8124826
Charmeleon checks to make sure the captured guard is still asleep.

>>8124895
He is, but the rest of the party is slowly waking up.

>>8124903
We check with Golbat to see if anything happened while we were asleep.

>>8124915
Golbat comes down from the window. "I saw glimpses of Skarem and some of the grunts lurking around outside, but no one's thought to come in here yet."

"Charmeleon. We need to rethink our plan. A good starting point would be to actually have one."

>>8125067
"Agree, Magnemite. We can't afford to let what happened last night happen again. Gabite can't dig tunnels large enough for the Humans to navigate through without them collapsing behind them. So from now on, we'll have to do the night missions by ourselves."

>>8125067
"Courtney, you and Charmeleon encountered a double agent correct? Did he mention where Team Magma currently has their base of operations? Currently the fact that we have people on the inside is the only advantage we have at this point."

>>8125116
"Indeed, though you understand that we can no longer afford to be here indefinetly. As Sableye mentoned, there are only so many places for us to be, and Magma will still locate us. If you still intend for us to ignite a revolution, we need to do so as soon as we possibly can."

>>8125306
"Indeed. The sooner we get to work, the better."

>>8125143
Courtney replies. "Our only double agent is Stan here, and he's not a double agent, just an infiltrator."

Did chameleon get a tattoo yet?

>>8125339
"Does this current Team Magma still believe him to be working for them? Because if so, he should know something... Such as the nearest concentration of Magma forces outside the city, or at least the location of the highest guard density besides the generator."

>>8125350
No, not yet.

>>8125386
Courtney looks over at Stan, who replies. "I'd need to get back out there to learn more, but last I heard, the majority of them were staying in Mt. Chimney or Fallarbor Town. I didn't hear anything about Meteor Falls."

>>8125336
"Skarem and this false Team Magma appear not to understand stealth or subtlety. Indeed, it seems the source of his current position is being extraordinarily and brutally direct, using his pokemon for more than just fighting other pokemon. We can not out fight him, but we should be able to out smart him."

>>8125471
"You have an idea then, friend?"

>>8125504
"All evidence so far indicates that Skarem and Arilee work together on an unprecedented level. As long as they stand together, there is not a force I know of that can overpower them. ...Possibly not even Porygon Z. ...However as a result of this, there is a liklihood that they have become interdependent to a degree. If we are to win, our highest priority must be seperating the two."

>>8125624
"Seviper, you mentioned that you encountered Arilee without Skarem two years ago correct? I assume she had a trainer then, which means that she should have a pokeball somewhere."

>>8125624
"How do we accomplish that?"

>>8125655
"I didn't see Skarem anywhere, but I met her inside a volcano... I believe it was Mt. Chimney. My master brought me in by helicopter."

>>8125656
"The only way I can think of involves infiltrating Magma, finding Skarem and Arilee asleep or otherwise off guard, and acquiring Arilee's pokeball. ...Holding either one hostage, while potentially viable is unlikely to produce long term results."

>>8125712
Charmeleon squirms uncomfortably at Magnemite's words.
"No. I will not resort to kidnapping in order to beat them. If I do, then I'm no better than Porygon Z or Team Rocket. If I'm going to defeat Skarem, it'll be through my wits and strength - not dirty tricks."

>>8125705
"Then it seems that if Team Magma has a stronghold, Mt. Chimney would be it. In all liklihood Mauville holds nothing of value except the generator, and while provoking a rebellion would be easy enough, it would quickly be put down."

>>8125782
Magnemite stares at Charmeleon for several seconds.
"Fool. You claim to have wits and yet you demonstrate none. You think kidnapping makes you no better than Skarem or Porygon Z? They have taken countless lives out of both convenience and pleasure. What do you suggest? Negotiation? They have gone much too far to stop now. A battle? Your power compared to Arilee is as a candle to a bonfire, and unfortunately Skarem likely has some grasp of strategy and tactics to get this far. The revolution idea? Even if we reappropriate all the pokemon, Mauville will still be at a disadvantage. It is likely that they have yet to break the habit of targeting trainers, and it is extremely unlikely any two of them is a match for Skarem. Even if they win, it will not be without casualties. Heavy casualties. Are you willing to make such a sacrifice to ease your simplified view of right and wrong?"

>>8126121
"I would rather take that risk, Magnemite, than achieve victory at the cost of my soul. We WILL defeat Skarem, AND Porygon Z. All we need is to have patience, cunning, and to believe in each other."

(Watch yourself calling Charmeleon a "fool". I'm waving her overlooking it this once on account of being close to Magnemite, but do it again and you'll spark a conflict.)

>>8126186
"...So this is where you cross the line? This is where you won't compromise? You believe in -THIS- so strongly that you will risk your own life and the lives of others?
... I see. In any case, it is likely the pokemon are kept in Mt. Chimney, so do you agree that infiltrating that location is a goal?
Stan, I noticed that no Magma members we encountered had ID cards, and given the previous crash and their competence level, I find it doubtful they have technology as advanced as fingerprints and facial recognition. ...They have to have some method of identifying teammates beyond the uniform... don't they?"
(Remember a couple threads ago, /co/mrade. Magnemite has quite a different idea of where Charmeleon should have drawn the line of what to do and not do)

>>8126433
Charmeleon ponders Magnemite's words - she does not like the idea of leaving the people of Mauville behind, or not finishing what she had started. But, she sees the wisdom in what Magnemite says. They have to reunite the townspeople with their Pokemon. The problem is finding out where they're being kept...
"Very well, Magnemite. Our first priority should be to find out where Skarem has sent all the Pokemon of Mauville and free them so they can return to their trainers."

>>8126433
"They carry a modified version of the Magma Emblem that we used ourselves. There's not much difference physically, but only one of the new ones can open the door to the Mt. Chimney base."

>>8126589
"It is fortunate, then, that we should have access to one, as well as a uniform." Magnemite turns towards the prisoner and attempts to nod.

>>8126692
Courtney looks over as well and nods back. "Yes, very..."

>>8126800
"...Of course, there is a disadvantage as I doubt they will let non-withdrawn pokemon pass without suspicion. ...Especially you Charmeleon."

"Well what're we waiting for? The sooner I see where this emblem is the sooner I can get more."

>>8126996
Stan nods, then goes over to the unconscious grunt and feels him up for a while before pulling out a small brass stylized M.

>>8127050
(Hmmm... I'm guessing that it's in a pocket at roughly waist height... Which sucks since Sableye is still only a foot tall)

(/co/mrade, This is Charmeleon quest but I'm not sure how to get her to Mt. Chimney without being in a pokeball... Even if we somehow disguse her shininess, Charmeleon aren't too common anyway.)

>>8127109
That's about right; it's in an inner pocket of the shirt.
>>8127183
/co/mrade is, to the best of my knowledge, gone.

holy shit, theres only like 4 of you that replies to this stupid quest, take this shit somewhere else and stop fagging up /tg/

>>8127211
"...On second thought, this isn't quite so easy as it seems. I doubt that they're lax enough to let a whole group in with one emblem... Not to mention someone will definetly recognize Courtney, and even someone as dense as Skarem probably knows what Sarina looks like as well..."
(On a side note, do Courtney and her teammates still have their Magma uniforms? And are they different from Magma's current design?)

>>8127317
They all have their old uniforms; there's not much difference between the two, except that those of Skarem's forces sort of look like crude imitations of the originals.

>>8127405
Are they different enough that someone could tell at first glance?

>>8127436
No, only by looking closely.

Wouldn't be surprised if "Sableye" turns out to be the op who uses another name because no one replies to this pile of shit quest.

"Priority: Team Magma in the past made semi-regular transfers of material presumably from here to the generator. Though ironically this seems to have ceased due to their searching for us, we need to find a way out of Mauville as soon as possible."

>>8127650
This might conflict with Charmeleon's plans of freeing the city... perhaps we could wrap this quest up for now, and wait until /co/mrade returns?

>>8127723
Sure, it's getting late anyway.

>>8127749
All right. Good night, then.

>>8127723
Yea cause it looks a little weird when the only people who reply to your thread is two namefags. Bringing in a third namefag would make this look a lot less pathetic.
