4a. for sure! At least the ice cream won't be melty, with all that snow around. :D And it won't hurt to capture that Houndour while we're at it!
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

O great Morian, please grace us once again with another serving of your sacred ice cream... #4a

3.a Shiny thing? Do you mean the squished pokémon?
Actually, is that the houndoom or are they an other pokémon?
Well, not all that shines is gold, but stuff that shines is attractive nevertherless!
Still, if the pokémon giving electrical sparks is the very houndoom...
WHAT? Holon pokémon?!? No, there aren't any houndour or houndoom in
Holon... are they?
Unless it's an other pokémon or the houndoom is a machine...

Well hey, if the ice cream is poisoned, then it's probably gonna be handed to us for free anyway. ;D

EDIT: Oops, it seems that wasn't the case last time, but oh well. xD

there should be an option to release Cuddles and replace it with Cuddles the Houndour
No way, not without something making his time whileworthy and a proper purification!
And if we must give an other pokémon a dull nickname, at least let us pick AN OTHER dull nickname xP

Maybe there is a special offer " 1 + 1 free", and he forgot to mention last time. Maybe a little farfetched, but it wouldn't hurt to check.

I really should fix my sleeping schedule and be sure to be in time, like I'm supposed to be. Not like this.
One (probably mundane) choice throws all beliefs to think rationally. All I learned so far from this protagonist is that they're a glutton for ice creams.

Then I'm reminded that this is PokéTrivia. Enjoy the randomness that it provides, so long as it can satiate your needs.
Like usual, you may suggest a nickname for the newly caught Pokémon. So, here we go.

1. Quick! Ride on Cuddles' back and step on the gas! - 1 Vote
2. Finish what you started. Defeat the remaining Pokémon! - 0 Vote (Why wouldn't you?)
3. Oh... shiny! Can I have this shiny thing? - 1 Vote
> 4. Buy some ice cream...? Yes, the ice cream cart is there, the whole time, apparently. - 5 Votes (Seems like you can't have too much ice creams.)

Should you throw a Poké Ball onto the felled Houndoom?
> a. Yes - 7 Votes ("Never say no, never.")

Deaths: 1
Chapter 11: Travelers' Stop

Location: Palegrove Road -> Shanama Town

While the remaining pack of Houndour run about in circles, you take a Poké Ball and peer at the visible snow hole. You see their leader, Houndoom, presumably incapacitated by the Bounce attack from Cuddles. You toss the Poké Ball inside, red lights following the sequence of capturing said Pokémon.

As you wait, you heard a sharp click. You grin at what you see - a Poké Ball that ceased moving after some time, sitting cozily on the snow bed. You bend your way to pick up the Poké Ball and raise it above your head. You just caught a Houndoom! An addition to be welcomed in your team! All that kinda makes you wanna buy some ice cream, and so you go celebrate by buying some ice creams on the cart that you don't recall being there, but it happened to be there.

The vendor, who is apparently the same person who sold you poisonous ice creams, widens his eyes with perplexity in his expression.
"Wha... what are you doing here?! Please, leave me alone!" He shooed, but his gesture doesn't seem to sync with his words. He is shivering, as if he is cold or perhaps, scared. Is there something troubling for him? You approach the cart and ask him what's the big deal and explain.

"I have nothing to share! Not with you, at least! Just leave my stand! Go away!" However, he refused to budge. It doesn't seem that he will listen to what you have to say either, but to be true to your purpose for coming here, you request for two Casteliacones while...realizing a bit late that you don't carry any money in your wallet. Immediately, he hands you what you ordered, if smaller in size than the previous, then turns his back and sit down on the snow. You can hear his wailing after you received your ice creams, so you try to talk your way to him but he continued before you do, "No! I don't need your money either! That was a foolish goal I regretted ever since! Just scram already!"

It seems that there's nothing you can really do other than bothering him any further, which isn't a good idea. You bid your farewell toward the man in orange uniform, a bit unsatisfied with the result you get. Doesn't stop you from munching your ice cream though, or at least Cuddles does warn you that you shouldn't be eating these, twice. You tell Cuddles that it's alright, After all, what's the worst thing that can happen from eating a purple, glowing ice cream? So you take a bite, which tastes really great but causes your vision to blur once more. Good thing that you bought some Antidotes to prevent that, so you drink it whole and cure your poison, then munch on it again...

...Oh no, you get poisoned again! This time, you eat the ice cream whole then repeat the process again. Now that you're cured from poison twice, you're left with another ice cream that hasn't gotten any attention yet. The urge to eat it draws to you, but you manage to hold it off by putting it inside your bag. You wonder why you eat the ice cream anyway when you're aware that they're clearly poisonous, and putting said thing inside the bag. You don't want to think about it too much, though Cuddles seems to be not amused by your weird way of action.

With the whole disturbance coming to an end, you find yourself stepping on snow-covered cobblestones. Ahead lies more houses made out of stacked stones and wood, curved roofs of wide eaves blanketed by snow yet leaving the grounds below bare. People and Pokémon can also be seen interacting with each other, in a lively place known as Shanama Town. History speaks of this civilization being the result of two different yet closely situated towns conjoining into what you see right now. As fascinating as it may be, you don't deter yourself from visiting the Pokémon Center first.

As you leave the Pokémon Center you visited just now, you think for a moment. There are many things you can do, aside from buying anything since you're likely to not get a good response for it. Now then, what are you going to do?
  1. Sit on a bench and see what happens!
  2. Walk around and scavenge for items!
  3. Find and defeat the Gym Leader!
  4. Participate in a Pokémon Cup!
  5. Eat the Casteliacone!

As much as I'm tempted to eat more ice cream, I get the feeling we should save it as a deus ex machina tool for later. Especially since we don't have our supreme fishing rod yet. =(

Let's sit on the bench! (#1) Maybe something will be randomly given to us? :D

I just wanna say that these two paragraphs put a huuuuuuuuuuuge smile on my face, you wouldn't believe it ahahaha. xD

But still, just who on earth is this ice cream vendor...?

After all that happened, I think we earned ourselves a bit of rest on that comfy bench there: #1. Might be a great opportunity to get to learn our new Pokémon as well!

Also, we really ought to find that ice cream vendor again later, he is probably plotting for world domination or something.

, whereas cups and badges don't run away, do they? (besides, we've been in combat just now,
let's give our fellows a break).

*whispering*

Psst... What if the vendor is actually Morian? Or worse, what if he's somehow Sandshrew disguised as a human? We've gotta do something.

First... I wonder why nobody suggested a nickname for the Houndoom. I swear this happens almost every time that I had to point it out multiple times. *grumpy noises*
Second, sorry for being late. Excuses won't get me anywhere, so here I am again, as a whole. Things are getting rough, but I'm certainly fine.
Lastly, uh... I swear by the name of Arceus that I'm not the person you're speaking of. What nonsense are you on about? There's no way it can be me! *sweats*

Anyway, here we go and before I'm forgetting about it, Happy Easter everyone.

Key Items
Casteliacone...?
An ice cream received from a man in orange suit. It glows a radiant purple hue.

Mysterious Orb
A translucent sphere found inside the grotto near Shanama Town. What purpose could it serve?


Deaths: 1
Chapter 12: The Light from Above

Location: Shanama Town

After a long trip, people'd usually take a rest and enjoy the scenery before going somewhere else. Well, said person is certainly not you, who decide to be as active as ever. Sitting on one spot isn't the way to go, so you think about looking for dropped items for you to use, assuming they no longer wants it. Where to begin? Obviously, you don't walk and take out the trash can expecting to get a Leftovers or more Antidotes, but some people say that following a hidden path in the forest is a good start!

You look across the paved road, pitted in between the white bonsai trees, finding any gap that might lead you into some kind of path. You manage to find one, so you force yourself inside the bushes and follow the road till you hit the end of the path, where you find an entrance to a small grotto standing short below. There wasn't any trace of footsteps coming from and toward it, but you can't be too sure that nobody hasn't been here before. To prove that, you place your legs inside and drop on the piled snow blanketing the rocky surface.

Upon reaching inside, you give a good look of your surroundings once more. There isn't much aside from stalagmites jutting out from both grounds and ceilings, and a shiny object your eyes darted upon just as you take notice of its presence. Staring at it only piques your curiosity, you don't hesitate about approaching it and taking hold of the sphere. It glows a faint pink color and shows transparent reflections of your grip. You don't know any better about myths and legends behind most objects, but were you to sell them, it could fetch a high price! Still, is that a wise thing to do? You leave the thought away by keeping the orb inside your bag - besides, nothing seems to be out of ordinary even after you take away the orb from its place.

Climbing out of the grotto, you return to meet the same place where you began to wander about looking for things, only to end up with an orb of unknown name and origins. As you walk your way back, things get a bit brighter than usual. It's like the sunlight shines a brighter light today, an unimportant detail of nature which is soon followed with a sudden tremor that floors you down onto the snow. The trees are creaking their leaves intensely, the grounds keep shaking on with no breaks. You couldn't really make your footing in this state!

A tremor is occurring! What should you do?
  1. Stay calm and don't move!
  2. Quickly move away from the light! Crawl if you need to!
  3. Go back inside the grotto and return the orb back!
  4. Send out Cuddles to Bounce away!
  5. Eat the Casteliacone in panic!

#1 Let's just stay put instead, simple but effective.

Oh right, names. Why do I keep forgetting about those? How about... Hellfire?

As for the nickname, Hellfire sounds nice! But there are other options as well, such as "Cuddles 2.0" or "Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic." =p
