Following everyone into the cave and listening to the long winded explanation filled with coincidences, drama and the ocassional explosion, so...COINCIDENTAL that it may as well have been magic - because magic is very, very real - Jon realized it was about time for everyone to split into groups. The Treecko looked around and felt...well, doubt. Lots and lots of doubt, everyone assembled there seemed to be their own brand of strange, robots with turtles, dinosaurs with, uh... well, other dinosaurs. In the end, it seemed as if everyone had somehow assembled themselves already, and the only person to not seem to be focused on leaving with someone else was Sligoo, who more or less just stared into nothing with his eye-check-things, mouth slightly agape.
Hmm, he's from this world or whatever it is like the potatoe Turtwig. So he's the most likely to know where I might find some cheese, whatever it is. He stepped up to the gooey enigma and tapped him. "It looks like everyone else is set up already, I guess we should get going to find those thieves. I'll help you out as best I can Sligoo."
Silence.
And also some snoozing? Sligoo remains motionless, his mouth slowly producing louder and louder snores.
".....I thought this
Sli-goo in all it's creative-and-unique-naminess was too important for him to just pass out." He sighs, then takes a deep breath. "HEY SLIGOO LET"S GO GET YOUR JUNK BACK YA DINGUS!"
His motion back on track along with a sudden gasp from his now-awakened self, as the sluggy being suddenly rams itself forward without seeming to stop anytime soon, "Shtaap goofhing around, we goth to get my
Sli-Goo bhack!"
"Uh...oh great, I got the spaz. Awesome." Jon sighed and chased after Sligoo, surprised to see him moving so fast with no legs. Like some sort of Slime-train propelled by interrupted naps. "Hey slow down! I thought these dungeons were sort of random and changed or something. What might happen if we just run like this?!?"
"Advensshure! That'sh what will happen!"
"Oh is that all? Well at least it's not going to be boring."
"Welp." Jon huffed among all the aimless meandering they seemed to be stuck in a loop of. "At least anybody who's ever read a fantasy story can say with certainty adventures have plenty of being lost, so I guess we're doing something right already. So Sligoo, that stuff of yours must be especially related to you what with the name and all right? Can you...I dunno, feel what direction it might be in or anything?"
"I'm Shligoo, not a wizhard," The slimy being lets it be known with his ever-so-derpy-expression, "But if I had to guessh, I'd shay thosshe thieves are in the cavern'sh pit by now, if not about to reasch it."
"I can't wait to get there." Jon muttered to himself. Sure he was excited about being on an adventure, but his last utterance had a more malicious reason behind it. First they delayed his chance to get to a town that might have cheese, and now because of those thieves he was stuck wandering aorund a cavern with a spazztick pile of animated goop with a speech impediment. He couldn't wait to kick their teeth in. "Hehe, maybe that Dratini popped one of it's balloons on a stalagmite by now." He chuckled.
"You'd be shurprished by the reshishtance of an Air Balloon," Sligoo replies with an equal amount of cheeriness. After all, if it weren't for so many random strangers suddenly showing up, his precious
Sli-Goo would be lost forever and ever.
Speaking of which.
"I don't think I've been exshplained why you all showed uhp in the beasch so consushed about, well... everything."
"What a coincidence, nobody bothered to fill us in either." He added sarcastically, still wondering about what that balloon was made of. "I wonder if all the others are having experiences anything like this, I'm curious to hear their pieces on this little Odyssey we seem to have unwittingly embarked on." He stopped for a moment, surprised at his own eloquence. Jon was relieved when Sligoo didn't ask why his way of speech changed so suddenly, until he took a short look around again.
"Where did he-ugh! Why couldn't I go with the potatoe!?!" Jon whipped his head back and forth
With an utter smexehness overload, grimacing as he wondered just what his enigmatic partner had gotten into this time.
"Oooh, that's very shinny, I think I-" His reply from faraway is interrupted by a loud scream, similar to that of a horror movie.
Oh great, chaos always follows when the derp of a group touches something shiny. Especially when there's public domain girl screams. He darted off in the direction of the scream. It wasn't likely they'd all be welcomed into Golden Town if he let something happen to Sligoo, besides the fact that all the nonsense he had already been through would be for nothing.
"Shtaap!" Continues the slug with his generic screaming, afterwards the sound of something hitting a hard surface is heard, as well as more screaming.
Stopping to catch his breath for a moment, Jon realized he was leaning on a wall that helped form what was almost like a small hallways. Somewhere around the corner there was an opening, and moments later it became clear the noise was coming through there. He crept cautiously through the water-carved path until he entered what seemed to be another huge room of the cave.
Just as soon as he entered said room, the figure of a Sligoo being tormented by the deadliest creatures ever came into sight...
Splashing around with evil looks and even meaner faces, their whiskers whispering how they would finish their next victim, a group of malevolent Magikarp splashed around. A horrible sight, and not for the weak of heart as Sligoo was defenseless and could do nothing but submit to their loud and catastrophic splashing as the pack of three water-types splashed around him in perfectly-defined circles, all the while as they were muttering the name of their lord and saviour Feebas, asking him to forgive them of their sins as they offered a well-rounded, decent tribute for their lord.
Jon stopped in his tracks and stared at the sight before him. "I...well uh...I just...really? I mean...REALLY?!? Sligoo this may be the lamest thing I've ever seen, I have a feeling it's worse than something I used to know of called Twilight." He shivered at the word even though he had no idea what it was. "Oi! You scaly, wet, and...well pathetic ne'er do wells leave that derp alone! Or when I'm done with you you'll be finding a new creature to idly worship." He took a deep breath and attempted to make his voice deep and demonic...resulting in it sounding like he was gargling gravel and rather ridiculous. "I will find Feebas and I'll beat him so black and blue he'll
NEVER become beautiful enough to evolve! I AM YOUR GOD NOW"
As if on cue, and upon hearing the name 'Feebas' prnounced, the evil pack of hellsishes stodd on the ground perfectly still, their bodies slowly splashing on their own centre as they were now lying in the direction in which Jon could be seen. Their stares, full of hatred as they continued to listen to Jon's blasphemous talk of their lord,
the only lord around, Feebas almighty! With their voices together, sounding overlayed and rather criptic scary, they recite their reply.
"You shouldn't have done that."
"Jon, ruuun, get awhay from here!" The slimy dragon-type tries to warn Jon, but midway across his sentence, the pack of Magikarp have already resumed their splashing, only that this time it wasn't a meek, lame splashing, their bodies literally flung themselves across the air of the room, hitting walls, bouncing on them afterwards, then on the floor, the roof, and pretty much everywhere in a rapid succession of increasing speed, up to the point in which it was only red stripes moving around that could be seen.
Sligoo only stood motionless, hoping everything would be done soon.
Jon realized he may have gotten too caught up in his rant, he'd never really threatened someone and actually meant to punch their lights out before. "Guys, guys, I was just trying to get you to leave Sligoo alone so we could-" WHAM! He was smacked across the face by a supersonic fin mid-sentence. "Ok, I shouldn't have started insulting your culture, but there's no need for-" WHACK! and Another! And another! The situation seemed completely hopeless, Jon couldn't even
see the Magikarp clearly anymore. But a slim chance at victory found our hero, as they often do in these situations: painfully. One of the Magikarp got just the perfect angle and smashed headfirst right into Jon's widdow Tweecko stomach, making him feel like something was cuaght in his throat. The next Magikarp got just as lucky, or was it divine intervention from Feebas? When the red fish zealot struck his tum-tum Jon coughed violently and a small seed hit the Magikarp just as it was bouncing away again.
He was confused at first, he didn't remember eating any seeds, just sand and now Magikarp smacks. It was quite obvious what had just happened when vines burst seemingly out of nowhere and bound the Magikarp before pulsating with a mysterious red light. The Magikarp's bounces grew slower and slower until it flopped slowly on the ground, not seeming to have the energy to fight anymore.
Jon learned how to use Leech Seed!
"Whoo! One down! I am the greatest! Bring it on you bums! I got one for all of-" WHACK! "Right, talking bad right now."
One of the Magikarp slowed down until it flopped next to it's comrade, who was now shaking feebly on the ground. Fortuitously, as the first hit Magikarp seemed to get more tired, Jon felt his pain dull and became more energetic. The third Magikarp was not so foolish though, punishing the heretic was far more important that life or death!
Jon saw his opportunity to do something on purpose, and had a REALLY stupid idea. "I've always wanted to do this." He posed with his hands making an incomplete spherical shape behind him. "Kaaaaaaaa....Meeee...Haaa....Meeee..." Sure enough, at his words energy began to form in the empty space bwetween his hands. Of course Jon's no super saiyan, but the silly act helped focus his mind on the task and therefore his energy. "Wait...it's supposed to be blue, not green. Ah whatever, BLAM SUCKAH!" He thrust his hands in front of him and launched the ball of energy (totally not indicitave of a possible name at all). The sphere crashed into the two totally brodaciously bonding Magikarp and allowed them to
die disappear together.
The Treecko blinked at the results of his attack. "Wow...that was awesome! I'll call it Energy Ball! I bet nobody's thought of that before!" The last Magikarp stopped his bouncing, momentarily giving Jon hope that he had another easy target. "Ready to give up yet? Justice always prevails!...Even if I'm the one who took it a bit too far first..."
"You dirty, rotten, blasphemous, HERETIC." The Magikarp shouted, sounding genuinely demonic, unlike Jon's poor imitation. The Magikarp's fury shown so brightly that it's own body began to follow suit. Magikarp would grow closer to the one true lord Feebas by evolving in much the same way, except instead of beauty his wings would be righteous fury and holy fervor!
"Whaaaaaaaat? You can't do that, there's no way your level 20! That's cheating, I demand-"
"
SILENCE HEATHEN!"
"Eep!" Jon looked around wildly, wondering if there was any hope at all for survival at this point, no amount of coolness would let him fight a Gyrados this early on. Finally he noticed that Sligoo had fallen asleep again, but he was far too busy trying to survive to care about how sad it was. Steam was almost coming out of his ears with how hyperactively his brain was pounding, apparently you CAN overclock a brain. Jon leapt behind Sligoo just as Magikarp's glowing form started to take it's new shape, making sure he was on the opposite side of the other exit of the room from Sligoo. "HEY SLIGOO WAKE UP! I SEE THE THIEVES OVER THERE!" And climbed on Sligoo's back.
"
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
Fish corpses lie around, a defeated messiah Gyarados lies in the ground, unconscious. Slowly, the followers of Feebas almighty vanish from all existence. A sad sight to behold, but not for Sligoo, as he's sleeping again.
Sligoo's green companion shakes his head and sighs before falling on his back. "I didn't know you could move, scream, or hit like that, good work Sligoo." he then proceeds to conk his head on the floor and close his own eyes.
"Of courshe, they don't call me Shligoo for nothing!"
Jon sat there for a few more minutes, all the energy drained from him by the thought of getting eaten by a Gyrados, once again a green lump on the floor. All of a sudden his eyes shot open and he bounced upright before shaking his comrade. "Come on Sligoo let's go, that was kind of like a boss fight or something, so we must be getting close to somewhere important, maybe your
Sli-Goo and the jerks who stole it are up ahead.
"That'sh right, I'm Shligoo after all!" The slug chimes matter-of-factly as both Pokémon exit the room they lie in.
"By the way, look at thish shweet thing I found!" The slug raises his stubby arm to reveal the aforementioned shiny object that might had costed both Pokémon's lives had their timing been incorrect, a small sphere of a royal blue color, with a simple red stripe running inside of its somehow transparent consistency, "I'm not shure what it is, but the Magikarp that evolved drhopped it before they all attacked."
And so they walked and they traveled, they traveled as they walked, going thru stairs, stairs and more stairs. Within seconds, they find a gap on a wall, and as they slowly approach it, the light around suddenly increases, the air becomes less damp, and they reach what could be a pit at the end of the Dungeon.
But what was the most impressive was the sight of Noibat and Dratini at the end of it.
Jon Grew To Level 6!
Jon Grew To Level 7!
