Hyzenthlay July 17th, 2018 1:05 PM

How did I miss a chapter? Well, at least most people voted for the same choice I would have done. ;)

#2! We can easily take down that gate with Cuddles' Eye Beam. :D Also, Omelette is perfect for Chansey!

I'll go with #2 as well.

I've been slowly reading everything while on lunch and breaks at work. :D

HyperMorian July 23rd, 2018 10:04 AM

To be honest, I didn't expect to see this thread to be tagged with the [Ice Cream] tag. But now that I've seen it, I wish there's a way for me to give free ice creams for everyone who participated.

Hmm? Are you telling me that's a bad idea? C'mon now! There's not a single malicious blend within every scoops, what gives you the idea they're not suitable for consumption? Maybe once you take a single bite, you'll be the living proof of whether they're good or not.

Good lord.

But of course, PokTrivia is never too insane to allow 'frolicsome practices'. Have at it. *rubs hands*

There's only one thing edible as far the eye can see, but does anyone want to before it melts? *smirks intently*


Anyway, here goes another. As expected, you are expected to post two choices from the first and second list.

The road splits again. Which do you want to go through?
  1. The stairway. It should be fine to take shelter inside one of the deserted buildings, right? - 1 Vote
  2. The double gate. Despite appearing to be locked, the lock isn't proper and thus can be opened. - 6 Votes (Snooping as usual, I see.)
  3. The hallway to the back of the hole. Following this path might redirect you back to the front entrance, though.
  4. Be indecisive and return back to the unknown depths in order to inspect the other remaining ways.

Deaths: 1
Ch. 30: "Wait... What?"

Location: Caterpie Terminal ? Mysterious Cave
Deciding to investigate what lies within the gate before you, you take approach and inspect the padlock that failed its job in securing the passage. Detaching the hook and removing it away, the gate creaks open as to give way toward a new entrance. You peer in to get a clearer look through the gateway. Turns out, there's a light that shines bright at the end of the hallway, and below it, a staircase leading down lies in wait. Holding onto your glowing Casteliacone as your guide, you pace straight to it step by step.

Deep, deep, and deeper you go, the hallway's interior gradually takes a rougher surface, replacing the concrete into rock and damp soil, adorned with plants sprouting across the widening walls. The next few steps brought you to a big clearing of a cave-like dome. Six pillars of rocks stand conspicuously, circling the sandy center of the site that somehow gleams with light, paling out the light coming from the ice cream you're holding. Something tells you that there must be something in here, yet it also doesn't feel right that such an odd place could exist beneath the facility. What could it lead you into?

*CRASH!*

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound became clatters from behind. You turn to see dust clouds forming and dissipating, revealing the caved in entrance where you come from, effectively sealing off entry. You turn again to see if there's any other path, but nothing gets caught by the seeing eye. Sounds like you're stuck for the time being! ...Or maybe that's what you'd believe if not for the pool of sand unexpectedly rising up, giving shape to an otherworldly silhouette before slowly pouring back down.

"RE-RE-RE-REGIROCK." It repeats itself, flickering its many eyes while idling at the center of the sandy clearing with unknown intent. In a world where everything is either convenient or simply bizarre by nature, its presence leaves you nervous to act. You're not certain if it's going to get aggressive anytime now, but seeing no other thing to do in a dead end means ultimately, you will have to interact with it anyway.

"Regirock appeared! What should you do?"
  1. Talk to Regirock for a friendly chat.
  2. Defeat Regirock, wild battle style.
  3. Offer your Casteliacone to Regirock. Perhaps it's craving for something, right? ...Right?
  4. Challenge Regirock into a fishing contest. No questions!
  5. Attempt to catch Regirock with a Pok Ball at full HP. You have 'luck' in the form of Pokmon with you, after all.
Which nickname would you like to choose for Chansey?
  1. Omelette
  2. Deus ex Machina
  3. Steven
  4. Panacea

XNaut July 23rd, 2018 11:13 AM

1a I'll talk to Regirock and I guess I'll nickname Chansey Omelette.

Hyzenthlay July 23rd, 2018 11:39 AM

I would honestly say #4 but we're not in the ideal place for fishing. xD

3a sounds like something I'd do in this situation, haha. :D

Janp July 23rd, 2018 11:54 AM

5. MOAARRR POKKYYMMMOOONNN!!!!

Also I still vote for Steven

Lycanthropy July 24th, 2018 1:21 AM

1a. "Hello there, do you come here often?"

FeraligatrMaster July 24th, 2018 2:44 AM

3. That might make it happy.

As for the nickname, let's go with... a.

Damien.aspiring.fandev July 24th, 2018 6:56 AM

3) Maybe the specimen of regirock can withstand it and perhaps even enjoy it? Also, anim continuity confirmed?
d) Panacea and Omelette are quite clearly the only fitting names, but I'm going for Panacea
because... well, I'm not sure about you but I fear the consequences of nicknaming her Omelette...

Oh my goodness, can we make both options 3 and 4 into reality? *o* If not, 3b works just fine! I bet it'll be a one-hit KO, hehe.

ALSO YAY FOR 30 CHAPTERS!! Congrats on that accomplishment, Morian! =)

It was a tempting option, but it doesn't look like Regirock has a fishing rod around here. And I sure as hell wouldn't let it touch our precious own rod. :')

HyperMorian August 2nd, 2018 5:38 AM

Well, this has to be longest timestamp between the progress intervals. But obviously, it's about making posts, not excuses. Therefore, this also has to stay consistent because I want it to, and so, this means another progress.

"I hope to see you again!"

Amounting the votes that has been given...
  1. Omelette - 4 Votes
  2. Deus ex Machina - 1 Vote
  3. Steven - 1 Vote
  4. Panacea - 1 Vote
It's proven that the nickname known as Omelette, has won. Thus, this surprisingly literate Chansey will now be known as Omelette.

"Regirock appeared! What should you do?"
  1. Talk to Regirock for a friendly chat. - 2 Votes (Conversations are boring, eh?)
  2. Defeat Regirock, wild battle style.
  3. Offer your Casteliacone to Regirock. Perhaps it's craving for something, right? ...Right? - 4 Votes
  4. Challenge Regirock into a fishing contest. No questions! (Somewhere in this world, a man once fished on a pool of sand. Be ridiculous as it might be, do mind that this is PokTrivia. *rubs hands*)
  5. Attempt to catch Regirock with a Pok Ball at full HP. You have 'luck' in the form of Pokmon with you, after all. - 1 Vote (Well, that's one way to legitimately obtain a Legendary...)

Ch. 31: Casteliagone

Location: Mysterious Cave
A minute past.

You, a Trainer from a city, was trapped and pitted against an ancient Pokmon.

Seeking for a way out might be more difficult than it sounds like.

Especially when it continues to stand still, watching you attentively to make a move.

Through whatever method that comes in mind, you think of a way to get around it.

*drip*

Something caught your interest as you feel something sticky inside your arcing grip.

It was none other than the 'light' you were holding the time you descend from the dark staircase.

...That doesn't look plausible, but you have the knowledge of what this ice cream could do to anyone.

So you try to approach it, with wariness intact as to make sure you don't alert it.

It doesn't seem to care, however, as it does nothing but keeping watch.

Unflinching, your hand stretches out holding the Casteliacone right at its rock face.

Regirock looks at you, flickering its many glowing eyes at what you're trying to offer.

Its long arm slowly follows, gently making its way for the ice cream which you gladly give away.

*RUMBLE!*

Unbeknownst to both, a tremor occurs once more.

You manage to quickly regain your balance the same way you lose it.

But Regirock, letting out a guttural growl, doesn't seem to be happy.

Particularly, when it somehow grows a nose out of the blue before taking a purple hue throughout its rocky body. That didn't go so well.

Knowing the repercussion, you quickly take yourself back from where it stood before it slowly lifts its arms.

In between its raised arms, formed an electric ball, then strikes a pose with the projectile shooting straight at a pillar closest to you.

In the nick of time, you successfully roll away from its attack. The impact had been powerful to cause it shatter into rains of rubble.

But you can't stop now. At least not until it either calms down, or falls in defeat.

You turn your sight at Regirock, whose sluggish steps thump the very earth itself...even if it floats.

Make no mistake, there can only be one choice.

"Regirock has gone berserk due to poison! What should you do?"
  1. "Lasers are the mightiest form of offense. Go, Cuddles!"
  2. Defend yourself by sending out Omelette to take it down!
  3. Use the Fishing Rod!
  4. Lift the mysterious orb!

Gee, I wonder how somebody could've gotten their hands upon these hazardous substances.

...Though I'm not sure why I'm suddenly imagining how Team KFC uses these as their 'special spice' so they could rule the world when everything is in utter chaos, even the Nurse Joys.

If... if only it was an option, though to be honest, I actually drew a blank about how a fishing rod is feasibly an option in a situation as confined as this. Maybe there are times where I can't really push things to make it even more ridiculous than it should be. But as they come in whenever, both direct and indirect, it shouldn't be a problem. :heh:

Ch. 32: Power Revealed!

Location: Mysterious Cave
Within a slight time gap, you pull out something interesting from your bag -- a translucent sphere that you've been curious of its use ever since you picked it up inside a grotto of a town. Unsure of how it works, you try raising the orb overhead as it suddenly begins to shine brightly. ...Maybe too bright that you had to turn away, while Regirock just comes ever closer with every step it takes before a loud buzzing noise comes ringing within the air.

Due to the blinding light covering your sight, you didn't get to see what really happened. Though, once the light fades out to a dim, you turn back to see that Regirock is nowhere to be seen. Where did it go? You could only wonder if the orb actually did anything, until you look downwards to see a lone, purple apple lying at where Regirock could've been standing at.

That apple sure looks tasty, maybe it won't hurt to give it a bite...
  1. Eat it!
  2. Let's not.
  3. Throw a Pok Ball at it!
  4. Feed your Pokmon with the apple!

FeraligatrMaster August 9th, 2018 10:33 AM

2. Maybe it's poisoned by the Evil Queen.

If Regirock is inside the apple, would catching the apple mean that we officially own Regirock, as well? :D

HyperMorian September 8th, 2018 6:16 AM

So, a word of note as to why there hasn't been any new chapters lately... I believe I should've said it before going poof suddenly, but with how PC also denying access whenever I intend to clarify the reason, it's more or less postponing me to effectively make an announcement.

I'm still feeling sick, from the beginning of September, up until today. It has quite lessened so far, which is a fortunate case for myself, but I don't think I have any updates to bring toward Choice Quest for its hiatus, for now. Not like I'm giving up on it, more like I can't properly contribute anything to it yet, especially when I'm indeed a lazybone whenever I don't feel like it, and I still haven't been able to get into it when this sickness remaining in me.

So! While I can't guarantee when it'll be up next, I can think of one thing that you can choose to go with, if you want to.

Usually, the main character represents us as those who dictate the course of the story by making choices. Now I'm raising an idea, would you like to see actual characterization on the 'nameless' main character? You can answer by agreeing or disagreeing, and if by chance you agree to it, you can also make suggestions on said topic (such as what they should look like, their moral compass and the like).

With that having been said, I'll bow out for the time being until I fully recover from it. Be seeing you later.

Hyzenthlay September 8th, 2018 8:14 AM

I'm sorry to hear about your illness, Morian. :( Best wishes, and take all the time you need to rest up! Your health is the top priority here. :] Anyway, your chapters are always worth the wait. xP

(And characterisation sounds cool! I'll get back to the rest later since it's been a long day, but I'm sure the others will have something to add!)

Meadow September 8th, 2018 4:39 PM

Nooooooo, Morian... D: I hope you get well, buddy—we've missed you tons! As Clover said above, take care, and get all of the rest you need! ^_^

As for characterization, that'd be pretty neat! I personally wouldn't go for anything too specific like their appearance, but I'm sure inner monologues would make a great start! It would definitely be amusing if the protagonist had a bit of a sarcastic side when reacting to weird situations/observations, kind of like in the Ace Attorney series. xD

Hyzenthlay September 9th, 2018 9:24 AM

And lay off those purple ice creams in future, okay? ;)

Characterization? I guess it depends on what our character will turn out to be.
From the "still unemployed" I assume you're not troubling yourself with school anymore,
thus I can safely wish you to get well soon!

Hope all goes better soon. For now, just take your time to rest, we can wait!

As for characterization, I think it's unnatural to suddenly decide a personality right off the bat. The paths we take should tell what kind of person our main character is. If you can attach some characteristics to that, that would be awesome of course!

HyperMorian September 27th, 2018 4:04 AM

Well, that was unexpected.

To see that it's already been more than weeks and nothing gets updated despite what's supposed to happen. And to count that it happens more than once, it's definite that I'm not 'quite' true to my promises. I do apologize for my untimely absence when I should've done it, but as there were matters taken care of before I eventually received my access back into PC, it's simply not possible for me to jump back that easily.

So! To take things into account, let's see what we've got after weeks worth of waiting for Bowsette to become official.

That apple sure looks tasty, maybe it won't hurt to give it a bite...
  1. Eat it! So you'll experience a feeling similar to a certain story!
  2. Let's not. - 2 Votes (Fasting is the way to go, huh.)

Ch. 32x: Raoga Takes Flight!

Location: Mysterious Cave → Sky Highlands
No time for rest, still trapped in a place known by only a few, you pick the surprisingly heavy purple apple to inspect its ordinary shape. Mm, thinking about it, this journey proves to be quite taxing for its worth. Humans are somehow nonexistent around these parts, foods and resources alike being oddly rare. As if the sense of surprise dries out for having seen anomalies afoot continuously, surely that a bite wouldn't hurt a hungry Trainer...

"...Wait, no, this isn't right." Regardless of how close you are to fill your belly, you can't really eat it. It's undeniable of what history is contained within the apple you're holding, and to prove it, you shuffle through the bag... for an empty Poké Ball and gently press it on the apple.


"..."

"... ..."

"Maybe I should try harder." Determined by what you believe is possible, you hopefully clasp both items. As it turns out, you manage to get a reaction, in which the Poké Ball finally prompts itself with a gaping entrance! The purple apple gleams bright red before entering inside, as it falls along with the encased device down onto the pool of sand, shaking consecutively in advance.

*Click!*


Gotcha! You caught a Purple Apple! A sense of relief washes you the instant it's gone silent, though it's questionable to see you manage to fit something like this inside.


Well, what now? Instead of pondering how strange was that, you divert your attention at a bright gap formed and set high from the now broken wall, laying an upward and haphazard entrance of stacked stones. You weren't really asking for an exit the time you entered, but hey, does this appear to be one is something you're going to figure out soon enough. You carefully ascend onward the clutter, step by step...

The sun sinks low, veiled by thousand clouds, you stand near the edge as the windy breeze greets you with a full view of the entire Raoga Region.


...Except they're no longer one with the open blue -- barring the apartment you once lived in, they're all dispersed and floating! What's currently going on? There's nobody present that could explain the bizarre phenomenon, only you telling yourself that you're effectively stuck until there's a way to get down.

You glance at the region below once more, before turning around for a way. Fortunately, there happens to be one narrow path leading even higher altitudes. As to not get swept away by the strong winds, you carefully stick onto the walls as you follow a narrow, craggy path that stretches further to the side of the precipice.

Ch. 33: First Encounter

Location: Sky Highlands


For nighttime to befall soon after, the trek proves unexpectedly long, but the road finally widens into a more spacious surface. Once you arrive at a wider clearing, however, you sense presences nearby, and so do they. Uniformed in light bluish suit with mechanical features, looking surprised, one of them gives a yell, "Halt! What's a kid like you doing here?"

Two weird-looking men comes to you with Poké Balls in hand! What should you do?
  1. Greet them amicably and ask what's going on.
  2. Indulge their question with your Pokémon.
  3. Transmute them into apples.
  4. Let Omelette grab a pitchfork out of nothingness.

Ch. 34: Hi, Hey, Hello

Location: Sky Highlands
Since you're not in the mood to start something unwanted in a land who-knows-what, you cheerfully wave your hand at them! "Hello!" you say, approaching the two oddly-clothed guards who loosen up as they sense no danger in you, "Would you mind telling me what's going on?"

The two look at each other in the eye, then shrugs before turning to you again. "I don't know what's going on either. I'm only paid to keep watch around this area, anyway."

The other guard chimes in, "Yeah, me too. I have a family to feed after all... But it really doesn't matter if they don't know what I'm doing, so..."

As it turns out, they really aren't as helpful as you'd expect. Maybe it's best to drop the subject with another, "If so, can you tell me where this road will lead me?"

"Past this point is the Golden Bridge." The uniformed man states, "Well, it's not exactly a bridge. More like a pretty long escalator that goes way up the clouds above. Sounds like something out of a fairy tale, eh?"

"You don't smell bad, so we'll let you pass." The two guards split to open a path for you, "Be minded that you shouldn't turn back. We can't just let anyone scurry around here. It's just...making me shiver that it might be the ghosts..."

Well, at least that's one more redundant part worth noting of. You thank these two men as you proceed through the small valley ahead, feeling that you've both avoided and missed things that could possibly happen were you not be nice to them.

With a short trek through the craggy valley, you find yourself staring at a large, golden escalator that is exactly what he described earlier.
  1. Stand on the Golden Bridge.
  2. Hit the Golden Bridge with your wallet.
  3. Try your hands at skydiving.
  4. Fish.

Ch. 34x: Seeping Insanity

Location: Sky Highlands
Obviously, one must inspect their surroundings before advancing into the unknown! ...But why pull out a fishing rod when there isn't any watery surface around?

Turns out you weren't planning to look for one. Rather, if fishing can be done anywhere, why not fish on the moon itself? While it sounds like you're starting to lose it, there's no telling what might happen from trying something silly. That applies to almost everything that occurred within your first day as a Trainer, so you decide to let yourself do what you think isn't a bad DreamWorld parody.

You throw the hook off the cliffs below then sit down before the edge. But instead of feeling it flail about, the hook seems to be stuck almost immediately. Did you snag something? You bend over to take a look, to find that the hook hangs onto a nest filled with peculiar eggs, human bones, and torn clothes, on the verge of falling from a weak-looking branch.

The weight now is in your shoulders.
  1. Quickly reel it upward.
  2. Wait and see what happens.

For a rather simple select of options, it appears to have reached a majority.
  1. Quickly reel it upward. - 5 Votes
  2. Wait and see what happens. - 2 Votes

The result is...

Location: Sky Highlands
Of course! The odds to recover it are better the quicker you can get it to the surface. Although sounding very simple, it's a long way down there from where you are. It won't be an easy feat.

You carefully reel the hook lifting the nest slowly, realizing how heavy it was before it took off from the branch that snaps off into the world below. It steadily stays still from a quarter length, until you sense a whistle of a stiff breeze passing through! The string now sways unstably, there's no guarantee it'll endure!

...Is what'd happen if you didn't pick up the pace. Knowing that it's too late to turn back, you hasten the reel despite it swaying like a clock, and successfully bring the nest to safety! However, most of its contents were missing but one egg and a piece of cloth. They must've unfortunately fell in the process...

Obtained a Peculiar Egg!

So what was hidden above the clouds shrouding the escalator's end? The two guards back there hinted a civilization--a savored haven for citizen and traveler alike. Though the sense of relief is abound, it can't be helped to feel uneasy for failing to save the rest.

But it wasn't all for nothing either, nobody knows what will befall to the last one were you didn't become curious for a day. Granted with a new responsibility, you wrap the egg with the cloth from the nest. As soon as the blowing wind subsides, you prepare to ascend above via the Golden Bridge.

Ch. 35: The Unnecessarily Surreal City

Location: Sky Highlands -> New Volmia
Slowly ascending the obscuring clouds while listening to an automatically-playing jazz music, the area eventually takes a visible form. Sitting atop the stratospheric clouds, glimmering in golden blurs, the imposing continent appears before your entrance at the end of the Golden Bridge.

You take off from the escalator to land at the grassy plains and notice a large, opened gate across the gargantuan wall surrounding the inner site. This must be the entrance to the city, you proceed further and see two guards in similar light-blue uniforms stationed in between their posts, facing at each other as if they're having a talk before noticing your presence.

"Hey! You over there!" One of them shouts, "No one's allowed to be outside at this hour!"
"Precisely!" The other follows, "You're not going to try anything funny, right? Then you better get back here before we decide to arrest you!"

"Yeah, that's right! No need for reasons, we already have you fined for suspicious activity." He says as he comes closer to your direction, holding an electrified baton while grinning mockingly. "We demand https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/8c/Pok%C3%A9monDollar.png10000 for what happened today, including the grass you stepped on and fee for clothes that's going to fit your dumb look even more. You're not going to run anywhere even if you try, so you better pay the price."

"Hmm, let's see..."
  1. "Sure, I'll pay you up."
  2. "How about we play a game of rock-paper-scissors?"
