4. Let Steven taste it.

Meadow August 12th, 2018 7:32 AM

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

Let's go with #3 and find out!

*ahem* #3 is worth a shot! Hopefully the Poké Ball doesn't just rebound off the apple, 'cause then our protagonist will look like a total dork. :'D

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.)
  3. Throw a Poké Ball at it! - 3 Votes
  4. Feed your Pokémon with the apple! - 1 Vote (What a way to harness 'food.')
As of note, I did say about revamping the old CSS this thread is currently using. To say the least, I've fidgeted things to make it look prettier to me, as well as updating generic info people probably won't check out.

Until next time.

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.

FeraligatrMaster October 30th, 2018 11:37 AM

Anyway... we're standing in front of a super fancy expensive elevator that must be able to bring us to magnificent places. Now is the perfect moment... to fish. #4
