[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

After Kee's shopping is done and Platina's been properly introduced to the members of Team Paradise, Team OS meet Keldeo and Emolga in the main plaza of Paradise.

"Everyone ready?"

"Yup!  Just finished having Scraggy help me remember how to use Nuzzle!  Good to go!"

"Just finished mah shoppin'!  Team Omega Seekers is ready!"
"Alright, to the hill in Post Town then!  We'll be using the Entercards there to get to the Great Glacier since that's where the ley lines are at their most concentrated."

Much like the first time using Entercards to open a Magnagate, Keldeo has everyone stand in a circle as he places the cards on the ground.  He places them in a much more complex pattern this time, though, and the color of the light that appears as the magnagate starts to open is icy blue.

"Everyone hold on tight!  This might get a little bumpy!"

*F L A S H*

--------------------------

The next thing everyone senses is that it's cold.

Very cold.

They're not in a Magnagate Mystery Dungeon this time, though.  Their surroundings look very, very natural.

The Great Glacier: Great Glacier - PMD: Gates to Infinity



Everywhere the members of Team OS look, there's snow.  or ice.  Or snow and ice.  Trees and rocks covered entirely in snow dot the nearby landscape.  And just up ahead, a towering mountain of ice looms above them.

"This is it!  This is the Great Glacier!  And somewhere in that mountain is the Glacier Palace!  Or at least, what's left of it after it came crashing down.  Man, it's been forever since I've been here."

"Honestly, I'm not as excited about it as you are, Emolga.  Last time I was here, I was stuck in a jail cell, remember?"

"I'm sure this trip will go fine, Keldeo.  What could possibly go wrong when these guys have you and me around, right?"

"I suppose..."

"That settles it then!  Alright Platina, lead the way!"

Great Glacier 1F



The group of five pokemon begins the approach to the glacier proper, the crunch of snow underneath their feet the only noise they hear for now in this rather barren looking icescape.

At one point, Keldeo slips slightly before catching himself.  "Phew, that was close.  I almost fell over.  Watch your step everyone.  This whole area around the central mountain is one gigantic glacier, so we're actually standing on a layer of snow on top of a layer of ice right now.  We need to reach the central mountain and find a way inside if we're going to reach the Glacier Palace like Sue did."

Walls of ice create a long path for the party, but it eventually divides into two paths and goes in two different directions.  

With the X-Ray Specs on, Platina can see that there are various wild pokemon and items spread around the Mystery Dungeon.  And there's a lot of wild pokemon, too.

Platina lets out a huff as Kee finally makes it back from his last minute shopping trip - couldn't he have gotten such business done before paw? Honestly! - giving everyone a sharp, Keen Eyed stare.

"Indeed. Let us depart then, post haste. The Swifter we are in our Missions (she eyes Kee briefly as she says this), the greater chance we'll resolve them with much less problems."

The shiny bird indeed braced herself upon Keldo's recommendation, Hardening herself in preparation - 

-------------------------

- before she is abruptly there, right in the gelid wastes of the Great Glacier. Despite her Steel heritage she can't help the shiver that wracks her body - she's a Flying type too, and like with Water she loathes the cold. Coldness meant Winter season was coming, and that always heralded times of hardship and hunger. Hopefully her Team wouldn't be here long enough to suffer the worst of these lands.....

 During the time everyone was chatting the ironclad avian went into her Bag to briefly Equip the X-Ray Specs to scout out the Floor and then swap it back with her Persim Scarf, but she momentarily paused when Emolga said those words. She stilled for a second, before letting out an uncharacteristic groan before she 'favored' the sparking squirrel with a dirty look.

"Oh now you've done it. You've Cursed us with that comment! Haven't you heard not to invite The Trickster and temp the Fates with careless words? If something goes wrong on this Mission in the near future, you're shouldering the blame with me Emolga."

*Sighs*

"....What done is done, though. Let us brace ourselves for the worst, and hope for best. *Perks up Dazzling!* Follow me, everyone! I shall lead us all to triumph and safety, or my name isn't La-Platina!

With that said, she Leads the party along the path straight ahead, right towards the Room she suspects their is an Item in. Her approach is swift and bold - their shall be no attempts at Stealth or discretion, as the group needs to get moving now!
