Chapter 14: Showdown at Quester's Outpost
Current Groups: The Sword the Smarts and the Speculation (Elin, Julia and Sebastian), Those Who Wait (Sean, Luke, Sarah, Roggenrola and Starrie)
Quester's:
'Silver Sword' Elin (Swift Scarf, Rookie Badge, Weathered West Hat)
Julia (Mana Scarf)
Sebastian (Hypnotist's Eye)
'Commander' Sean (Leaf Neckerchief, Vine Sticker)
'Dark Hound' Luke (Gangsta Glasses, Battle Jacket)
'Cute Kitty' Sarah (Cute Bow, Stardust Sparkles)
'Iron Ore' Roggenrola (Big Gem)
'Sky High' Starrie (Talonflame Feather)
An old grandfather clock in the corner of the bar ticked away as the captive Pokemon sat at the tables, the menacing mariachi Scraggy's leering in to check on them every now and then.
Sean had folded his arms and closed his eyes in deep thought, as Roggenrola sat next to him, Starrie hopped anxiously up in the rafters at having been inside for so long, whilst Luke and Sarah were chasing each others tails. The other Quester's and Diggs were all staring out the cracks in the doors and the windows.
"What exactly do they intend to accomplish keeping us all trapped? They can't keep us in here forever." Diggs grumbled through his cigar.
"Maybe they just want to establish dominance?" Flaffy suggested.
"Or maybe they're gonna enslave us." Litleo suggested.
"No way! We shall not be suppressed!" "Nosirree!" Luke and Sarah declared.
"Darling will come back, I just know it." Maria said.
"Yes, ma'am." "We'll wait, ma'am." Corn and Cob agreed.
"What are you thinking about, Sir Sean?" Roggenrola asked.
"Please don't call me that. I'm weighing up our options." The Snivy told him. "Since the doors and windows are blocked, we have two options."
"Dooooo yooooooou haaaaave aaaaaaa plaaaaaaan?" Chingling sang.
"If you can call it that..." Sean mumbled, glancing to the side. "For Option A, I'm gonna need somebody brave and reckless."
"I volunteer Luke!" Sarah called.
"I also volunteer Luke!" Starrie raised a wing.
"I volunteer myself!" Luke declared.
"Figures. Okay, Luke, just come stand over here." He directed the Poochyena over in front of him.
"Alright, so what have I gotta do?" Luke asked cheerfully, only for two vines to wrap around his waist. "Er...Sean?"
Before he could say anything else, Sean smashed him into the ceiling.
"Sean!" Sarah cried in horror.
"Arceus, kid! That's my roof!" Diggs yelled.
"What about the Pokemon on the end of it!?" Starrie cried.
"I told you I needed somebody brave and reckless." Sean said. "Since normal methods are no good, I thought we'd try an unorthodox one: up. Luke! Is the coast clear up there?"
Meanwhile, Luke's head poking out of the roof had its ears drooping as three Scraggy's stood above him, glaring down at him.
"Hola, amigo." One of the Scraggy's hissed.
"Sean! Pull me down!" Luke panicked.
THWACK!
The Scraggy's used Headbutt to play a game of Whack-a-Poochyena, sending Luke crashing down into the floor.
"My floor!" Diggs shouted.
"Well then, you've decided Option B, Luke. Down." Sean said. "Diggs, do you know Dig?"
The Diggersby gave him a half-lidded look. "Really, kid? My name?"
"Just checking." The Snivy shrugged as the Normal/Ground Type used one of its shovel ears to pull Luke up out of the debris.
"Hey, pup, wake up." Diggs shook him.
"Mummy...the Magikarps are swimming in the Zigzagoon's..." Luke blithered as he slowly recovered.
"Listen! You wrecked my floor, so your gonna help me dig!" Diggs told him as he removed the rest of the broken flooring, revealing the purple sand underneath.
"Huh? But I don't know Dig." Luke said.
"Kid, your a Poochyena, Dig should be no problem for you to learn." Diggs told him before putting him down. "Just follow me lead, okay?"
"A-Alright." Luke reasoned as the two began digging down.
"Everybody follow." Luke beckoned as they jumped into the hole.
Diggs and Luke continued digging a tunnel until the Diggersby stopped. "Alright, we're under the main square, so what's the plan?"
"Here, we'll split up." Sean told him. "Half of us will go to the left, half of us will go to the right. We'll launch a surprise attack and incapacitate most of the Scraggy, then we focus on El Scrafty up there."
"Taking on all of those Scrafty's?" Diggs sounded unsure. "Even with all of us, that'll be tough."
"I'm up for it!" Luke volunteered.
"Me too!" Sarah cheered.
"I'll follow Sean no matter what!" Roggenrola declared.
"Count me in!" Starrie nodded.
"I guess we're in too, then." "We're Quester's after all!" "Leeeeeeet's gooooooo!" Flaffy, Litleo and Chingling cheered.
Diggs shook his head and chuckled. "Your all insane...but damn, I love it. Alright then. Me and poochy here will split our digging."
"Poochy!?" Luke gave him his best grumpy face.
"I'll go with Luke!" Sarah waved her paw.
"We'll follow too, then." Flaffy said with Litleo nodding.
"Count us in with them!" Corn and Cob added.
"That leaves me, Commander, Dancing Flower, rock, bird and bell on the other side." Diggs worked out.
"Then let's go." Sean said, making them nod and split off down two new tunnels.
Meanwhile, a group of Scraggy's were standing by a barrel, guzzling down water. "Ah, I feel alive again!" One of them gasped.
"Quit hogging it!" Another complained, taking three big gulps. "Oh yeah, that's good."
"The boss says we gotta pump as much as possible to take once we're full." The third Scraggy reminded them, dangling his legs over whilst sitting on top of it.
"That's gonna be a pain..." The first Scraggy muttered. "...Hey, you guys know the last time we checked on those Pokemon in the saloon?"
"Guess it was a while ago..." The second Scraggy admitted. "Hold on, I'll go and-"
"Dig!" He was interrupted as Luke burst out of the ground, smacking into his chin and throwing him back as his oversized head got him stuck in the sand.
"It's those muchachos!" The third Scraggy gasped.
"Double Slap!" Sarah smacked the second one across the face with her tail.
"Flame Charge!" Litleo smacked into the other one.
"Hey! They're over here! Get them!" More Scraggy's began charging towards them. "Headbutt!" The group jumped back as a Scraggy hit the ground with its head.
"Discharge!" Flaffy unleashed a burst of electricity that zapped all the Scraggy's around her.
"Pin Missile!" Corn and Cob shot white needles that shot straight through them, sending them flying back.
On the other side of the town, Scraggy's cried out as they were thrown up into the air by a Leaf Tornado.
"Mud Shot!" Diggs threw giant blobs of mud using its ears, causing explosions which sent the Scraggy's reeling.
"Wing Attack!" Starrie sliced through two of them at once, dealing major damage with his type advantage.
"Petal Dance!" More Scraggy's were launched skyward as a twister of petals from Maria sent them soaring.
"Uproooooooooar!" Chingling screeched, making the Scraggy's cover their ears and cringe in pain.
"Headbutt!" Roggenrola and a Scraggy bashed against each other, though Roggenrola overpowered him with his rock body.
The Scraggy's continued to circle them as they held their ground. "This is taking too long..." Sean mumbled. "Gotta go take out the leader. Hey! Cover me!" He then sprinted off.
"Where ya going!?" Diggs called after him, before he had to redirect his attention back to the incoming opponents.
Sean stopped as he ran into the centre of the town and looked around. He quickly spotted Sheriff Exca tied to a barrel, and made to move towards him.
"Not another step, punk." He froze and turned to see El Scrafty sitting in the shade, his sombrero tilted down to cover his eyes, before he lifted it up with a jab of his thumb to glare at the Snivy. "Looks like things just got muy hectic around here? It doesn't take a Kadabra to know that it's all you little runts from the saloon."
"We're gonna take back this town, whether you like it or not." Sean told him.
"Well aren't you a cocky little hatchling?" El Scrafty stood up and walked out ten paces in front of Sean. "This town ain't big enough for the both of us."
"Agreed." Sean nodded.
A wind blew across the sands, as the two Pokemon faced off against each other, neither one daring to move. A tumbleweed blew across the area, as the clock above the sheriff's office chimed 3 o'clock. Not noon.
Sean suddenly charged forward with a Tackle, but the distance between them made it able for El Scrafty to sidestep and dodge.
"Zen Headbutt!" El Scrafty's skull glowed blue before he tilted his head back and threw it at Sean, who jumped out of the way as impact sand exploded upward from the force of the headbutt.
'He's strong...' Sean thought as he skidded to a halt. "Growth!" He glowed green for a second, boosting his attack power.
"Hah!" El Scrafty jumped up and clenched his fist as it glowed orange. "Smack Down!" He threw his fist downward, creating a small crater where Sean used to be.
"Growth!" Sean increased his attack again.
Meanwhile, the two groups were still battling the Scraggy gangs.
"Quick Attack!" Luke knocked another one away.
"Low Kick!" A second one caught hum off guard, swinging its leg into Luke's front ones.
"Gah!" The Poochyena gasped as he fell muzzle first into the sand.
"Luke!" Sarah gasped.
"There's too many of them!" Litleo gasped as they were quickly surrounded.
"Just give up now!" "Make it easier on yourselves!" The Scraggy's yelled.
"Mmmm..." Sarah's ears stood up straight as her eyes sharpened. "Don't worry! I'll protect us!" The Skitty jumped out in front of them.
"H-Hey, Sarah!" Flaffy gasped.
"Get her! Headbutt!" All the Scraggy's charged at her face first.
"Move out of the way!" "Now, preferably!" Corn and Cob panicked.
However, she stood her ground as he eyes actually opened up fully, revealing two feline eyes, before she took a deep breath.
"Disarming VOOOOOOOOOOOOOICE!" Sarah launched a blast of pink sound waves from her mouth sending the Scraggy's flying back and crashing into the sand, all defeated.
"Wow...remind me never to get on her bad side." Litleo breathed.
"Are you guys okay?" She asked innocently.
"Y-Yes, we're fine." Flaffy nodded, surveying the defeated Scraggy's.
"No problems." Luke assured her happily.
"Hooray!" Sarah cheered.
On the other side..."Sand Attack!" A Scraggy kicked up sand into Diggs' eyes.
"Agh! You little-!" Diggs cried before he was glomped by Scraggy's.
"Just stop it already!" Maria complained as she hit one with a Needle Arm.
"Seriously, how many are there!?" Starrie beat one more back.
"Theeeeeey are very persisteeeeeent!" Chingling chimed.
"I'm not done yet!" Roggenrola declared, bruised and battered from multiple Low Kicks. "I'll show you guys what I'm made of!"
The rock piece on top of his head glowed a bright red as he swung it back. "Rock Smash!" He then swung it into a Scraggy, sending it flying back, before knocking down two more.
"Ungh! Yeah! We're not done yet!" Diggs threw off the Scraggy's. "Hammer Arm!" He clobbered four of them at once with a swing from one of his ears.
"Let's end it!" Starrie cried as they all fought back.
"STAND STILL!" Scrafty cried as he missed another Smack Down. "Arrrrrrgh! Your so annoying! Fight me already!"
"If that's what you want." Sean suddenly spun on his heel. "Leaf Tornado!" He launched a tremendous green twister from his tail.
"Wha-ARGH!" El Scrafty was sent skidding painfully across the sands from the force of the Growth-powered attack. "You sneaky son of a Furfrou..."
"Tackle!" Sean then launched himself forward with the power of a fast car.
"You wanna go!? High Jump Kick!" El Scrafty thrust his knee out, and the attacks clashed in a burst of power and shockwaves, making both the battlers get launched back.
"V-Vine Whip!" Sean wasted no time in sending two vines extending from his back towards the opponent.
"No you don't!" Scrafty leaned out of the way before grabbing the vines. "Take this you little squirt!" Pulling on the vines he lifted Sean into the air before forcefully throwing him back down into the sand.
"Sean!" Luke gasped as everybody emerged to watch on, even some still conscious Scraggy's.
"Shouldn't we help him?" Roggenrola asked.
"This is a duel, kid. Don't interfere." Diggs told him.
"Low Sweep!" El Scrafty swung his legs, forcing Sean to jump into the air to dodge. "Your wide open in the air! Zen Headbutt!" His skull glowed blue as he jumped up towards the Snivy.
Sean, however, spun his body around to avoid it. "Wrap!" His body suddenly stretched out so that he could wrap himself around El Scrafty, dinding his arms to his body.
"Gah!" He grunted as he fell to the ground. "Stupid-! Let go of me!" He struggled to free himself, but Sean had established his grip.
"You'll...keep taking continuos damage...until you fall!" Sean told him as he tightened his hold.
"Aaagh! N-Not likely...you idiot!" He suddenly in a back curving arc, so that his back faced towards the ground. "Payback!" He gave off a shadowy aura before he launched himself downward, smashing Sean into the sand. The Grass-Type gasped in pain as his attack loosened, allowing El Scrafty to jump a safe distance away.
"Urgh..." Sean groaned as he stood up before the pain could hit any harder. "Tackle!" He recklessly charged forward.
"Hey! Stop!" Flaffy warned him.
"Gotcha." El Scrafty smirked as his fist suddenly burst into flames. "Fire Punch!" He threw a punch directly into Sean, the Snivy's eyes widened in shock as the super effective attack drove into him with the force of a swinging log, before the impact caught up with him and he was sent flying back, skidding across the sands before lying on his back, a nasty burn wound on his chest.
"MASTER SEAN!" Roggenrola cried in horror.
"That's what you get for being cocky." El Scrafty smirked. "Time to finish this! High Jump Kick!" He jumped into the air and began falling down knee first, the velocity increasing its power.
"Look out!" Luke cried. The distance between any of the spectators and the fallen Pokemon was too great to save him before the attack hit.
"Adios!" El Scrafty cried victoriously.
And as the attack was about to make contact, Sean rolled out of the way.
"Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgggghhhhh!" El Scrafty screamed as he clutched his knee, which was now covered in bruises from the impact of hitting it into the ground. "Yeowch ouch ouch ouch!"
"Vine Whip!" Without a single pause Sean whipped his vines into the leaders stomach, launching him back in an explosion of sand.
"Master Sean!" Roggenrola cried happily.
"Hah...please...don't call me that..." He panted.
"H-How..." El Scrafty muttered, obviously injured.
"I...I baited you into attacking me..." Sean told him. "I knew you couldn't...resist using High Jump Kick to finish me...so I deliberately charged in...I just didn't expect you to use Fire Punch...that hurt a lot."
"You...little...bastard!" El Scrafty roared as he punch his fists together, igniting both of them. "I'll burn you 'till there's nothing left! Fire Punch!" He jumped towards him.
Sean just smiled though as a green aura overcame him. "Sorry. Overgrow. Leaf Tornado!" A giant, raging green twister of leaves launched out of his tail and tore into El Scrafty.
"Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!" He cried as he was tossed and turned by the attack before being driven face first into the ground in an explosion of purple sand and dust.
When it finally cleared, he lay on his back with swirls for eyes.
"Phew...that was...close..." Sean panted before collapsing.
"Sean!" Roggenrola, Luke, Sarah and Starrie all rushed over to him.
"I'm okay, ow...just tired..." Sean assured them.
Diggs went over and untied Exca. "You okay, Sheriff?"
"I am now." Exca nodded, brushing himself down. "Thank you, Diggs."
"Hey, you should be thanking those kids over there." Diggs chuckled nodding towards them.
Exca smirked. "They're fine Quester's. I called in my squad when the takeover started, I was thinking they would help take the Scraggy's out but...I see that's no longer a problem."
"Yeah, about that, why did you send your entire squad all the way to Oreace?" Diggs asked.
"I've been trying to gather information for the Crimson Hope. It's useful to all Quester's." Exca told him.
Diggs' eyes widened. "The Crimson Hope? THAT Crimson Hope?"
"Yeah." Exca confirmed. "I've been looking into information about the Don and the Tyrant."
"Tyrant, eh?" Diggs shook his head. "He's one problem Pokemon, I'll admit that. But the Don is a a small time crook, right?"
"I'm not sure. I have a feeling they're working together." Exca sighed. "And if that's true, it means trouble."
Diggs lit a new cigar. "Guess it would be...but c'mon, don't focus on all that bad crap now. Let's round this lot up and grab a drink."
Exca chuckled. "Sure, I could use one right now."
Quest Life
"This is it." I said as the three of us walked into town. "Looks like Kalamazam was right. Everything seems to be...fine..." I stopped as I saw a whole crowd of Scraggy's and a Scrafty wearing a sombrero all tied up in the middle of the town, with Drilbur's standing guard.
"I take it those are the troublemakers." Julia guessed.
"Guess it really was okay." Sebastian said, looking around. "But, uh...where is everybody?"
I tilted my hat up and looked towards the saloon. "I have a pretty good idea."
We walked over to the saloon (Julia deliberately keeping her distance) and I opened the swinging doors to see everybody celebrating, with Luke, Sarah, Flaffy and Chingling dancing on the tables, whilst Diggs and Exca shared some drinks and Starrie and Roggenrola were just spinning around.
"Hey, guys! I'm back!" I waved.
"Elin!" All of my friends cried.
"Darling!" My eyes widened in horror as Maria jumped out of the ground and tackled me to the floor, her spikes painfully poking me. "I knew you'd come back for me!
"Uh..." Sebastian stared down at me wide-eyed. "Is, this the Maractus you were-"
"Yesssssss!" I hissed in pain.
"Nice to see ya, kid." Diggs waved. "Weren't ya gonna get help or something?"
"I tried, but the Psychic-Types told me that you'd deal with it yourselves." I admitted.
Diggs laughed. "Well, they weren't wrong there! Smartass bunch I always say."
"Good to see your alright, Elin." Sean revealed himself, a bandage around his chest.
"Woah, Sean, what happened to you?" I asked.
"He got a bit of heartburn!" Luke joked, falling off of the table.
"Pretty much." Sean said, noticing Sebastian. "And this is-?"
"Oh, uh, sorry, forgot to introduce myself. Sebastian Henderson." The Drowzee offered a paw.
"Sean Garrison." Thry shook.
"Wow, you sound French." Sebastian noted.
"See? It's noticeable." Sean told me.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm not good with accents okay? And this...uh, that over there, is Julia Belaya." I pointed to the Kirlia staying away from the saloon, accidentally poking herself between the eyes to push up non-existent glasses. "She's not good with crowds. They both have the same...predicament as us."
"Ah, right." Sean nodded knowingly.
"Elin! What was Unao like? Tellmetellmetellmetellmetellme!" Sarah cried.
"The buildings floated." I said plainly.
"AWESOME!" She and Luke gasped.
"I also got this." I held out the Baltoy statue, making my friends crowd around me.
"What is it?" Starrie asked.
"Apparently its supposed to direct us to the Temple of Enlightenment. I think that's where the Key Shard is." I told them.
"We're back on track!" Roggenrola cheered.
"Alright! Let's finish partying then set off!" Luke declared to the cheers of the other Pokemon.
"Um, are you sure its wise to be doing that whilst the bandits who attacked you are tied up outside?" Sebastian thought aloud.
"It's no problem! C'mon!" Luke dragged him into the mess.
"Urk!" Sebastian gasped as he was dragged face first into the cluster of Pokemon.
My eyes turned up in a smile at the antics, before walking outside and calling to Julia. "Hey! You coming in?"
"No thank you." She replied with folded arms. "I'd rather stay out here."
"Not one for social events?" I guessed.
"I don't like crowds." The Kirlia responded. "But it is nice. I can feel their happiness through my emotion radar horns."
"I guess you would, seeing as your a Kirlia." I figured as Sean came out to join us.
"I learned it when I was a Ralts." She told me.
"Hold on, you were a Ralts?" Sean asked.
"When I first landed here." Julia gave the Snivy a narrow look, obviously displeased that her audience had grown. "But after I learned my way around and practised my moves, I evolved into a Kirlia."
"You evolved!?" Luke suddenly joined us. "What was it like!?"
Julia's eye twitched in annoyance, before she used Psychic to pick up up a stone and throw it at the Poochyena, making him retreat back inside. "Evolution was...strange. It felt oddly pleasant, like a warmth, accompanied by a sense of growing and stretching. Maybe if I were to study evolution I could determine why I felt like that..." Her voice trailed off into thoughts.
"Aaaaand she's gone." I huffed.
"That's interesting though. Maybe when we were all transformed, we all started off in basic stages." Sean thoerised.
"Guess everybody we've met so far supports that." I figured.
"Y-You..." Our attention was drawn to the bound Scrafty. "I...admit defeat...you were the better Pokemon today, muchacho..."
"What do you want, El Scrafty?" Sean asked with folded arms.
"Nothing...I'm saying I lost...your a tough opponent..." El Scrafty coughed.
"Boss!" One of the Scraggy's cried.
"H-Hey! Listen! Commander! You gotta here us out!" One of the Scraggy's called.
"The boss...he's not a bad Pokemon, man!" Another called. "I know we're just a bunch of Rogues, and the boss acts all mean and tough, but he's only doing that to protect us!"
"Hey, shut up you little runts." El Scrafty muttered. "You wanna ruin my reputation?"
"Reputation ain't gonna matter if they haul you off to Ironside, boss!" A third Scraggy panicked.
"It's tough being a Rogue! You ain't got much wandering around the Rogue Routes! Our group, the Crafty Bandits, we ran out of water! We were in real trouble, man!" A fourth said.
"The boss...he planned this big attack so we could get some more food and water! We were just gonna leave afterwards! I swear on my pants! And they're all I've got!" A fifth panicked.
"He's a really great guy! Please forgive him! Take us instead!" All of the Scraggy's wailed.
"You guys..." El Scrafty sighed.
"If you needed food and water, why didn't you just ask?" I suggested.
El Scrafty gave a pained laugh. "A bunch of Rogues walking into a Quester's town and asking nicely? That would have gone down just peachy. I just do things the way I always do 'em, through the old rough and tough. Look, don't listen to these grunts of mine, I'll take my punishment on the chin, a'right?"
"Noooooo! Boooooooss!" The Scraggy's wailed.
"I think I've heard enough." Me and Sean stepped out of the way as Exca emerged from the saloon.
"Eeeeeeeeek!" The Scraggy's shrieked.
"Exca..." El Scrafty muttered.
"It's true you 'cause a lot of disturbances around the Psychic Sands, but I'll admit you've never actually attacked anybody." Exca sighed. "Boys, round up some water barrels."
"Sir!" The Drilbur's saluted as they scurried off.
"...What's the catch, Sheriff?" El Scrafty asked.
"No catch. Just a condition." Exca told him. "You Crafty Bandits are gonna work with the Quest Moderators. You'll get all the food and water you need through good, honest work."
"Your really offering something like that?" El Scrafty asked skeptically.
"Pretty much." Exca smirked. "And if you don't agree, we'll get these Quester's to beat the crap out of you again."
El Scrafty couldn't help but laugh. "Fine deal you have there, Sheriff. Alright then, guess we gotta accept."
"Yay! We're not gonna die!" The Scraggy's cheered.
"Quest Moderators?" I echoed.
"Basically Pokemon who help out Quester's, and look to expand our knowledge on our world, crack down on the bad guys, all that good stuff." Exca said. "Around here I'm known as Sheriff, but outside this place people call me Moderator #15, Exca. And trust me, kids. After what you've done today, your gonna get some good names in the tales of Quester's.
Quest Life
After everything had died down, we were ready to set off back into the Psychic Sands.
"Oh, darliiiiing! For us to be driven apart again so soon! How cruel fate is!" Maria wailed.
"Miss Maria!" "We're just gonna wait for them to come back!" Corn and Cob pleaded with her.
"Y-Yes! So...please...just...wait here." I finally managed to pry her off of me.
"I'll wait a thousand suns, darling!" She swooned.
'Arceus have mercy...' I thought, tilting my hat down.
As thanks, Gliscor had given out some Gear to us. Roggenrola now had a yellow Sandy Bandanna, which increased the duration of Sandstorm, whilst Starrie now had a Sheriff's Badge Sticker on his chest, that increased accuracy and range. Our group had now increased by two (with Julia deliberately standing further away from the group) and we were ready to set off again.
"Good luck finding the Temple of Enlightenment." Exca nodded.
"Come back for a drink if you need one!" Diggs offered.
"I'll rematch you anytime, amigo." El Scrafty grinned at Sean.
"Gracias, you guys!" The Scraggy's waved.
"Alright then, let's go find that Key Shard!" I declared, holding the Baltoy doll up high.
Yes! Finally I completed this chapter!
