Tori proceeds to stab the fat ugly beaver in its fat ugly face. As her 'dex informs her Natalie can now use Wing Attack and inputs Riff, she scans the fat ugly beaver.

"Natalie, get this thing out of my face! Wing Attack!"

Raph suddenly realizes that Clifton has been goddamn stabbed, and begins freaking out soundly.

Clifton goes four east and one down, quickly downing his Super Soda Pop and humming the Popeye jingle in his head.

"Also Riff go Fury Cutter that bitch who just stabbed me ow"

Grace is about to try some stabbing again, but is interrupted by the Mook.
"I think we're done here!"
He immediately throws down a smoke bomb. Why the hell do they have so many smoke bombs?
You hear Grace as the smoke fills the room.
"We're not done with you! Take the fucking rock, I'll take you down mys-oof! Watch it you idiot!"
You try to do something, but the smoke is just disorienting. You can barely think while it's so thick.

The smoke clears and the enemy is gone. How they manage to flee so quickly is a mystery, as is how they managed to get away while on the fourth floor.

Um, Combat Over!

What's this? Hrothgar is trying to evolve!

Show Content

SpoilerI'unno I tried throwing together a quick design for Grace. Nothing fancy.

Bastion struggles to cancel out Hrothgar's evolution!
He struggles to do a lot of things but after that he probably passes out!
Maybe!!!
He probably just collapsed and needs a bit of help standing up.

Tori breathes a sigh of relief, calling Natalie over.

"Jeez, remind me to sick you onto any other walking fungus we run into. You did good."

She then notices the Froslass again, sees Raph trying to scan it again and rolls her eyes, then glances down at Whit or whatever his name was. She waves at the trainer's ghost.

"I don't know what that bitch's deal was, but we dealt with her."

Natalie probably just looks mightily pleased with herself or something.

Raphael rushes over to Clifton. "Crap crap crap crap, are you okay? You got stabbed you shouldn't exert yourself aahhhhh"

Gabby wanders over to Wisp and gives him a couple pokes.

Hrothgar manages to keep itself from evolving. Bastion doesn't quite collapse, but he's looking a bit weary.

Wisp picks himself up.
"Saw that. Good work there. I was trying to regain a bit of strength to help you out, but it looks like you handled yourself just fine."
He looks over at Clifton.
"Well, mostly. Some of the others in the tower should have some gauze on them. That glowy vortexy thing is the Spirit Stone. It's very important to us. Without it, we'd have no link to our ancestors. I'm sure that guy appreciates you protecting him.
You should all go get some rest. I've got to work on some additional protection on this place. Team Dimension won't bother us again once I've dealt with that.

Oh, and as I've said, I'm the Gym Leader. If any of you are taking the gym challenge, I'd be willing to go at it with you tomorrow. Well, today, I guess. You guys did a great job."

Achievement Unlocked!

Everybody gained one level!

The ghost goes up to Tori, and gives her a Lax Incense.
"This, uh, this can help keep you aware of what's happening. My son gave it to me, but I don't think I really need it. Th-thank you."


One of the psychics rushes up the stairs, trying to hold onto a pile of first aid kits.
"Anybody need one of these!?"

"Mission accomplished, this tower is now safe, thanks to the heroics of me and my friends!"

Bastion weakly gives a thumbs up before passing out for real, although it is more of a cutesy sleepy deal.
Given that he's been up almost all day and was attacked by a bunch of things he probably deserves it.

BUT HEY
HE LEVELED UP

Prerequisites: Level 1
Daily – Every 4 levels gained, you may perform this Feature another time per day.
Target: An allied Trainer making a check.
Effect: The ally has +2 added to their check. A check is made while using a Feature.

"Oh, uh-"

Tori is momentarily lost for words. Options in her head include:
"I'm not taking shit from dead strangers."
"Whatever, I guess I can sell it?"
"I'll take it I guessss, but gifts from the dead are still weird."
"You have a son? Should I, uh, say hi to him when I see him? Or would that just freak him out?"
"Do you normally give presents to strangers?"
"How are you holding that?"

She manages to use her spontaneously-improved Wisdom to not blurt any of that out, and manages a "thanks. It, uh, it was no trouble."

Tori takes out a single incense stick from the pot, lets Natalie take a whiff of it, and if she finds it to her satisfaction pokes it in her feathers like a feather in her hat. A hat made of feathers. With a feather in it that's not actually a feather.

Natalie (presumably) gives no fucks.

Having done that, Tori finally comes down from battle adrenaline and notices Bastion's semi-conscious on the floor.

"Oh, fuck me."

Tori starts shoving people aside so she can haul Bastion up and carry him back to Spirit Town, never mind the fact there's a burly-ass viking right there who could do it for her.

As she's presumably-dragging/stumbling down the stairs, she resolves to do a few things:
-At a slightly less ungodly hour, go talk to this Wisp feller. If Gym Challenges or whatever mean prize money, and this dude's just got a bunch of ghosts like Gyps (how else could have that Gina bitch or whatever have been a problem?), it sounds like easy loot.
-Get a decent night and maybe morning's sleep now because christ
-At the earliest convenience, start getting schooled on Pokemon types. Seems like the kind of thing she could use, if she just got smart about it.


Tori levelled up! Point in WIS, took Workout (again) and increased her CON by 1 (again).

Raphael directs the psychic towards Clifton, despite Clifton's health honestly being fine (you got /stabbed/ Clifton, dammit)

She takes the broken ball pieces out of her bag. She is trying to fit a few of them together when something clicks.

Clifton rolls his eyes and applies some gauze. He then steps out from behind the pillar and pats Raph on the shoulder. "Thanks, kid, but I'll pull through. Not the first time I've had to deal with a knife in my leg."

He walks over to Riff, hugs and nuzzles her, and returns her to her ball before exiting the tower (getting her and Calloway healed before he turns in for the night).

"Oh hey thank god you're here um wow there are a lot of hurt people and pokemon here it's just a good thing nobody's dead. Well except for that ghost, but I don't think she counts? Um. My Grimer needs healing, too. So, please?"

Healthy but exhausted, he slumped down to the ground, and absentmindedly took out his camera. Huh. He took a few pictures in the midst of battle, and, well, they were absolutely gorgeous. He thinks he's got the hang of this whole photography thing. Apparently being in a battle helped? Who knew?
