i think pushing the blue button turns it off.. hmm? red seems to be always the off button..it could be that they are taking advantage of that fact.. hmm, i choose blue button
Press the Blue Button!
You've seen enough spy movies to know that the red button usually just makes crap blow up in your face. So you take a deep breath, hope you're not making a terrible mistake, and mash the blue button with your fist. You wait for a tense moment... did you stuff things up?
"Countdown... aborting..." says the robotic voice. You start breathing again. But the robotic voice isn't done just yet...
"Countdown is at too late of a stage to fully abort. Minor eruption is inevitable."
"We have to go now!" says Winona, "Bring Roxanne!" Swampert slings Roxanne rather unceremoniously over its shoulder, and the small froup begins running. You hear more rumbling and you see the lava level rising.
***
"Hey, Flannery! We're over here!" Winona calls to a red-haired girl standing about halfway down Jagged Pass. You, Winona and Swampert leap down the ledge towards her.
"image removed"
"Hey, the name's Flannery, Gym Leader of Lavaridge." After a quick round of introductions, you get down to business. "I got your message earlier, the volcano's erupting? I gathered some trainers to hold off the lava flow. If it's only a minor eruption, we should be able to hold it off with Water Pokemon."
"Hey, don't wanna interupt this chat or anything... but the lava's coming..." says Roxanne weakly, sitting up and pointing behind you. Various Water Pokemon begin firing attacks. You see that many trainers are gathered, as well as Team Aqua, all with their attacks.
"image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed" Swampert joins the attack, and the combined water attacks begin holding of the lava flow.
"It's working!" says Flannery.
"No it isn't..." says Roxanne. Sure enough, the lava is still slowly flowing down, despite the blasts of water.
"Any ideas...?" asks Winona. What will you do?
Your Options
-More Water attacks!
-Ground attacks!
-Rock attacks!
-Fire attacks!
-Ice attacks! Team
Well fire attacks are useless and if we use ice, I'm pretty sure there will be an explosion. I'm choosing Rock attacks! because Roxanne will be able to use lots of Rock attacks.
I'm gonna jump in here. Ground attacks Because if we change the land shape, all that lava can be directed safely into the sea.
or a fissure, like lockmaster said.
A fissure attack would be great here... but then there is the chance that maybe none of them would know that... And rock slide or something would be great, it could block the lava. I guess ill go with ROCK ATTACKS
Ground Attacks!
You close your eyes, come up with what you hope is a good plan, and turn to the three Gym Leaders.
"We use Ground-attacks." you say. Winona and Roxanne look too shaken up to argue and Flannery seems quite flustered herself.
"Well here goes... All or nothing!"
***
As the sun sets outside, you sit inside the Pokemon Centre, with a party hat and covered in streamers. You smile as you remember the look on everyone's faces as they watched the lava flow into the fissures in the ground. You saved many lives with your actions... but that's not all. You take the glowing Stone Badge out of your pocket. A gift from Roxanne, for standing up to Maxie and saving her and many other people from certain death. You smile as you realise you now have five Gym badges - just three left. And tomorrow you have a scheduled Gym battle with Flannery for number six.
The one thing you aren't sure about is whatever happened to that Pokemon inside the volcano... but that isn't the main priority for now.
The smile leaves your face as the nurse wheels two stretchers out to you - one with Espeon, and the other with Breloom.
"Physically, Espeon will be fine, but seems to have severe emotional scarring from its life before it met you. It seems to harbour a huge grudge against this Tabitha person... you should be careful if you meet again. As for Breloom, it's arms will take a while to fully heal. Otherwise, its fine, and both can rejoin your party. You thank the nurse and take back your two Pokemon.
***
Its early morning, and you head into Lavaridge. You can visit 3 places before the Gym match... what will you do?
Your Options
-The PC
-The Pokemart
-The herb shop
-The hot springs
-Grass on the edge of town
To the Hot Springs!
You decide that its time for some rest and relaxation after the Mt Chimney fight. You head to the large building labelled 'Hot Springs' next to the Pokemon Centre.
"Welcome dearie..." says the ancient lady at the counter. "These hot springs are therapeutic y'know. Would you like a spa session?" Eh, sure.
Minutes later, you and your team are wading out in the warm waters. Swampert looks like it's falling asleep and Swellow is flying above, refusing to enter. Breloom seems to be relaxing - the water would be helping its arms. Kirlia is meditating, Espeon is running aroun d playfully, and Sableye seems to have gotten a water blaster from somewhere and is drenching some unfortunate old people. There are a lot of bored-looking people around - what will you do?
Your Options
-Talk to the lonely-looking old lady.
-Talk to the sailor.
-Hang around with your team.
-Go diving.
-Time's a wasting! Let's leave!
