Unown Round 1

Kogeki's Water types spring into action, ready to wipe out these foes.  The enemy may have the numbers, but they have the advantage of being able to attack many pokemon simultaneously!

Hidden Power Water 1 (Remember that not all moves use Dex + Fight for their accuracy in this game, Spirit.  This one uses Special, for example)
(5)(5)(5)(4)(1)(5)(5) That's a crit!
The Unown have 3 Def and Sp Def
(4)(4)(3)(1)(6)(2)(6)(6)(2) Three of the Unown take 5 damage 1/6 HP, 15 remain

Gama finishes them off with his own Hidden Power!  A shadowy kunai suddenly appears in his grasp as he rushes forward to blitz the floating text!

Hidden Power Dark 1
(4)(2)(3)(2)(4)(2)(1)(4) Gama became Dark type!
(6)(6) Three Unown take 3 damage and faint! 12 remain
+1 Strength, Dex, and Special for Gama!
(-) Flinch doesn't matter for a fainted target

The Unown's turn to use their...

H I D D E N  P O W E R  1
(4)(6)(1)(3)(6)(1)(1)(2) As they blast Susano'o with their mysterious power, what appears to be text begins to appear on his body, before it starts to slowly fade away...

⠋⠊⠝⠙ ⠞⠓⠑ ⠃⠑⠛⠊⠝⠝⠊⠝⠛

(2)(1)(2) Susano'o takes no damage

Susano'o, displeased that these Psychic types would attempt to tarnish his armor like that, retaliates!

Waterfall 2
(5)(2)(2)(3)(4)
(6)(2)(4)(5)(1)(5)(3)(2) One of the Unown takes 4 damage 2/6 HP, 12 remain

Bubble 2
(6)(5)(1)(2)(2)(3) Gama became Water type!
(6)(5)(4)(1) One of the Unown faints, and 3 more take 3 damage 3/6 HP, 11 remain
(-) (-) Dex and Flinch debuffs don't matter against such a large group of enemies working in unison

The Unown, being partially Plot Deviced when in groups, can ignore the once per Round rule for moves.  Pain doesn't seem to affect their collective Hidden Power, either.

H I D D E N  P O W E R  2

(5)(4)(4)(1)(3)(5) More text appears, this time on Gama's body.

Gama and Susano'o continue to thin the Unowns' numbers as best as they can manage, while the Unown continue to create braille text out of thin air.

Kogeki uses a Potion on Gama! 8/8 HP

"Susano'o! Keep using your attacks against those enemies! Same sequence of attacks!"

"Gama! Keep spam your moves against them! We must end this quick! Instead of using Nigh Slash, use Surf! Susano'o Water typing might make him resist some of the damage!"

HAH, that was easy. Almost a bit too easy for Kee's taste, but a simple victory is still a victory. "That should teach ya 'bout just ambushin' people to your heart's desire!" he almost spits towards the fainted Golbat, but when he continues, his tone of voice is calmer. "Still... You'll recover from that, and hopefully keep this in mind as a lesson that not everyone comin' across is an easy target, even if they LOOK like one." He turns away from the bat, leaving it there as it is as he has no intention to catch it. It IS a poisonous Pokemon, yes, but there are better exemplars and he already has his own toxic bat via Draven!~

Instead, Kee's beckoning Juhani to himself. He almost ends up patting her forehead out of habit, but ceases to do so as he remembered that she's not very fond of being touched. "Well done, you see that an advantage typewise doesn't always mean doomsday for yourself. Now, lemme....patch up any wounds that bat's inflicted on ya." With the help of 1 Potion, Juhani's fully healed again. Hooray. "Now please tell me - what's with that puzzled look? You're not used to winning fights or such? Anything wrong that's upsetting you, maybe that Flying Type of your foe?" Kee's obviously curious about that, as he would have guessed his snowy turtle to rejoice or something, not being confused! If it's helping, he also lets Octavia wrap her ribbons around one of the bushes growing on this Grotle's back to read their feelings, kinda like she often does to Kee himself.

Unown Round 2

Gama looks questioningly at Kogeki when those orders are issued, but once he gets confirmation that he should use that move, he turns his attention back to the battle.  Very well then.  It's time to end this, one way or another.

HP Water 1
(4)(4)(6)(3)(2)(5)(2)
(4)(4)(3)(3)(2)(1)(4)(6)(4) 3 of the Unown take 5 damage! 1/6 for three, 2/6 for one, 3/6 for three, 10 remain

HP Dark 2
(5)(5)(4)(3)(4)(5)(2)(3)(1) Gama's shadowy kunai pierces Psychic type after Psychic type.  Crit.
(6)(6)(2)(5)(6) Four of the Unown take 5 damage and faint! 1/6 for three, 6 remain

H I D D E N  P O W E R  1
(6)(4)(5)(3)(6)(4)(6)(3) Crit.  The text appears to be bolded this time.

(1)(2)(3)(2)(6) Susano'o takes 1 damage.

Kogeki's pokemon continue to press the assault, knowing these Unown can't take much more of this offensive pressure.

Waterfall 2
(6)(1)(2)(2)(4)
(2)(3)(5)(6)(4)(1)(6)(3) An Unown takes 4 damage 1/6 for three, 2/6 for one, 6 remain

Bubble 2
(6)(2)(3)(3)(2)(5)
(5)(1)(4)(2) 4 of the Unown take 2 damage and faint. 2 remain

As there are now only 2 Unown left, they use a different effect of their attack this time while they're still able to do so.

H I D D E N  P O W E R  2
(4)(5)(6)(1)(1)(5)
A portal to another dimension opens up, and all 15 Unown are swallowed by it, vanishing from this plane of existence!

The portal then shuts immediately afterwards, leaving Kogeki and his pokemon alone with a blank wall.  Gama and Susano'o stare in disbelief at the spot where the Unown were a moment ago.  Really?  That was it?

Kogeki, Susano'o, and Gama all gain 4 exp.

The braille text the Unowns' Hidden Power conjured hasn't faded completely yet, so it's possible to write it down before it vanishes entirely.

[Dragonstrike]

Everyone makes it through the rock strewn maze a-okay without any further trouble and meets at the top of the stairs to floor B2.

At the end of what's visible of the stairs, there's a door.  Engraved in the top left corner of the door is braille text.

Juhani shakes her head and tries to bite a rock, though it has little effect.  She looks frustrated and confused again.

Don't forget Ralts gain half of the experience..

Kogeki quickly write the Braille within a book to make sure he doesn't forget this information.

He checks the area for anything more before returning to his friends.

Whoops, my bad.  In which case, Gama and Susano'o get 2 exp each instead, and Ralts gets 4.

Nothing but a blank wall there now.

"Hmm, that was strange. I might try to remember in tell Professor Rowan about those Unow later. Lets go guys. We still have a cavern to uncover. For now Susano'o, rest. You deserve for all all your efforts." Kogeki then return Susano'o and bring once again Nagi. "Gama, keep your camouflage. Just in case we get other unfortanely surprises." Kogeki then return to the group, waiting for the others to come and continue the path.

Assuming Ran points out that the pattern in the corner he saw before and Kogeki mentions the Unown sentence (Top left is the key), Karen says "I think that pattern is the key we need to decipher the message." she twirls her bang on her finger thinking; "If that is the case, the key should be in alphabetical order."

Spoiler

should either of those things not be pointed out, she instead says; "Ugh, really? A puzzle in Braille? For the love of Arceus, this is 2018. We've got better things to do than decipher stuff like this." (well that's rather snarky of you Karen..)

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Juhani shakes her head and tries to bite a rock, though it has little effect.  She looks frustrated and confused again.

Oh! Kee mutters and laughs to himself, understanding now what is bothering his new snowy turtle. Still casting a amused smile, he picks up a small rock, throws it into the air and catches it again a few times, then eventually tosses it against the wall of the dead end where it just bounces off - despite it looked like he put some force into this toss, it gave off the impression of a rather weak one. His expression as he does that is not puzzled, confused or embarrassed, rather pretty neutral.

"Listen, Juhani...", he calmly adresses her, "You're familiar with the concept of the Trainer's strengths and weaknesses brushing off to the Pokemon under their care? You see, the basic idea of this is that anything the Trainer's good at, the Pokemon will be good at as well and vice versa. Maybe not right away and from the start, but the longer the Pokemon is under a person's care, the more this effect's kickin' in. At least - This is what I am used to..... I, well, am somewhat puzzled that it appears to be somethin' new to you." Kee picks up another rock from the ground, and this time lets Octavia toss it against the wall - it's bouncing off the almost same way when he threw it.

"You see - I mean, look at me, do I look like someone who's featuring much physical strength?" He lets Juhani judge that, then shakes his head. "No, I don't really do so, and I know that. I've got better things to do than, say, work out or take care of my body's strength, and as a result the Pokemon I care for mirror this. I'd be lost and innocent if given a Machamp or such too, not knowing AT ALL  what to do to keep its extraordinaire power. I rather...." *cue for semi-smug smile from Kee* "...take care that my Pokemon suprise the foe with their inner strength, or with sound. Or both at best, like in Core's and Aya's cases." Pausing at this point, he gets down to be around eyelevel with Juhani. "Do you understand this, does this make sense to ya?" He pauses again to give the snowy turtle the time to respond, then sweeps some strands of silky hair outta his face to cover some nervosity. "Well... If this does not suit you, you'd be surely better in the hands of someonelse, like a martial artist or such. You've got a fair amount of word to add concerning whether you would LIKE to stay with me or NOT - think about it while we make our way through this temple, and let us meet up with the professor after that, 'kay?" Now Kee does pet her forehead, but only slightly and for short before backing off again and recalling Juhani. "Now then, let us leave this freakin' dead end and try another path."


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


Concerning that braille-message engraved on the door, musical rave-guy just stares at it foe a good minute while adjusting and cleaning his rimless glasses like five time before getting what 'language' this is. He would eventually notice that part in the top left corner of the door (assuming that it's not placed too high to spot it more by accident than willingly), and agree with Karen that it's look suspiciously like an alphabet.

Kee's got that laptop with him - having a wifi-connection within this temple would be utopistic, but he could type the code and let a program auto-decipher the message, can he? If not or if that'd take to long, then he'll go with the classical pen-and-paper-version if nonesle is up and patient enough to take this task. He wants to progress after all, so less ranting and more working on making one's way!~
