    Last time on Charmander Quest, you secured the aid of the bishop to retrieve the Poke Balls of the people of Mauville City. Does the climactic battle draw near?
    What do?

    You climb out of the tunnel and proceed with the waking up. Are you focusing on just them, or letting Sarina and the others sleep?

    Yes, let Sarina and the two grunts sleep. Golbat stays to watch over the building, and we take one of the Zubats with us just in case.

    I'm not sure what they want.
    They want me alive, and they have interest in porygon-z.
    They might be using us as a distraction, or bait, or be trying to observe me. I don't know.
    I know that they're friends, though.
    And right now, I need friends.

    I don't like how I don't know what bishop wants, what his goals are, who he works for, why his organisation was created, or anything about what's happening. There's more to this than I see and I'm worried, but I can work through this if it means we can save those Pokemon and save Mauville.

    "Perhaps that is so, Magnemite - but I don't understand why you're so worried. Even if they didn't do anything to stop Skarem, they didn't do anything to help him either - at least not to my knowledge so far.

    Bishop's a woman, and I have no problem with this Checkmate or whatever group freeing the pokemon, I'm just wondering why they did so only because Charmeleon wanted them free, instead of out of... y'know, basic human dignity.

    They want charmeleon.
    With charmeleon pinned down in Mauville, she isn't doing much.
    Presumably, charmeleon is going to do -something- that furthers Checkmate's goals unknowingly, and the faster that happens, the better.

    As a result of you entering Z's mind, Porygon Z now want to obliterate us much more than he wants to destroy Team Rocket... which could actually serve as a threat to him.

    Since Magnemite appeared to be in the same room when Bishop materialized, did it see anything?
    Magnemite recalls that though it has no reason to trust Bishop, it has little reason to -mis-trust her. At least for now. And so keeping its voice neutral it says.
    "Charmeleon, I, and I am sure the entire city is grateful for this rescue... Though if I may ask, would you have done this had Charmeleon not sparked your interest?"

    Glad to see you participating, but... We don't know who blew up the generator, there already was a resistance formed of the original Team Magma, Skarem is probably at Mt. Chimney, and I'm pretty sure Charizards, especially strong ones like Arillee aren't going to be stopped by a river.

    Is Magma aware of Aqua's forces?
    This is how I see our battle tactics.

    #1: Get our allies near a body of water
    #2: Get Skarem the hell away from the rest of the magma grunts, and towards that body of water.
    #3: Kill Skarem, incapacitate his pokemon without killing them.
    #4: Sneak the hell away with Skarem's head before anyone closes in on us
    #5: Present Skarem's head to townsfolk
    #6: Motherfuckin' revolution.

    Separating Skarem and Arilee is the dream goal I admit.

    Good thing nobody else knows who blew up the generator. ; )
    Charizards mightn't be stopped by a river but they're good for stealth, they presumably increase the effectiveness of water pokemon, and they -can- be used to block a few attacks before drying up completely. All of these are good.

    Courtney nods and proceeds to get on with the redrawing as the rest of you discuss things.

    We have faced Skarem before... It wasn't nice.
    The town is pretty much on our side, especially since they have their pokemon. Also, murder isn't looked upon kindly in these parts.

    Indeed. Skarem flew back to Mt. Chimney with Arilee, expecting us to be there apparently. That means Mauville is ripe for freeing. We kick out his goons, establish new defenses, and begin the true Resistance movement with Charmeleon's tail-flame as their rallying torch.

    Let's see him try anything with a heavily-fortified town full of angry Rebels and walls of Pokemon-attack-proof walls/gates facing him down!

    On the one hand, murder.
    On the other hand, Skarem.

    Hmmmm ...

    We're accumulating a LOT of allies here. Something's probably going to cut the party size down ...

    I think Skarem could actually take the party on without his pokemon. To use weeaboo terminology, he's pretty much Kenpachi as a pokemon trainer.

    Why would you think that just because we have the citizens of Mauvile, a group of enigmatic psychics, and Team Aqua on our side against a bunch of berserker morons that something bad it going to happen to even the odds? What a ridiculous and laughable notion!

    You realize that that is -exactly- the attitude that got Ichigo getting beaten by Ulquiorra like a red-headed step child? And I do not think you will spontaneously turn into a shadow pokemon whenever you lose.

    "Of course."
    Magnemite hovers over to Sarina.
    "This zubat is working for Team Aqua... Due to a misunderstanding on my part she is currently paralyzed. Would you be willing to spare a paralyze heal or an appropriate berry so she can safely return?"

    We ask the Humans to heal Zubat. As they do so, we roll up and tie the newly-drawn map before we present it to Zubat. "Tell Archie to head to the house to the North on that map. It's abandoned, so it should be easy enough to sneak there without being noticed. Tell him to start digging a tunnel as fast as he can to our present location. We'll meet up with him once he gets there. Good luck, comrade!"

    Sarina, waking up, looks a bit surprised but nods, rummaging through her bag to grab a Parlyz Heal, using it.

    Zubat wiggles her wings as she's healed, then pauses. "I doubt we can loop around to the north, but I'll see if we have any Pokemon who can dig from his current location."

    "Thank you, Zubat. Come back to us when you have Archie's reply, or a message from him to give back to us. Just be sure to come at night, when the guards won't spot you."

    I think now would be a good time for the party to rest until the next day, and for the thread to end. Unless somebody else has something on their mind?
