With everything said, and seing how this is getting a bit stale again, does anyone mind that I post with Cassius and I make a post soon?

Grey said
Happy Birthday, Mal. How old're you?

Now I'm 19, how about everyone else?

I would take the place of Stryder to take control of Cassius if nobody minds. Unless Stryder himself says otherwise, of course

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons: The Unsettling Future

Hirothelegend said "I hope you can do some damage at lease!"

The moment the ninjask used baton pass, Déspota truly felt invigorated. The speed improvement made him see through the chaos and observe things with a never experienced flow. The sphere that moved like a lightning was now seen as what it truly was, the shedinja Vince, the swift erratic movements of the wings of Jacks had become beautiful patterns that could be followed with the eyes, and more importantly, the rampaging beast that rolled in the floor and knocked everything it its way now moved akin to the waves of the ocean crashing into a cliff, powerful and unstoppable, but also natural and predictable.

Yes

Now he could get an opening

The bannete touched the ground and prepared to impulse himself, with a combination of the new found strength and speed, he started to ran like he had never done before towards the walrein. A staryu got on his way, but Déspota made use of a shadow sneak and dispatched it without needing to slow down. The walrein noticed it and tried to hit with another ice ball, but Déspota made use of shadow sneak, not to hit the pokemon but to get closer and only when he was exactly just below the walrein, centimeters away, he risked an attack

"SHADOW CLAAAAAW!"

The cloth-like arm got covered in a purple and black aura and was swung from the ground upwards in a circular motion that passed through the head and was followed with a body turn to make it go the way down again, brutally hitting the walrein and making it faint instantly. The stone floor was now marked with a rut, proof of the attack that the ninjask had passed

"Don't worry Jacks, I think I can do some damage now."

The rest of the team was amazed at the display of Vance, he had just knocked out a pokemon with some big defenses using a resisted attack no less, but praising would come later, they needed to keep defending Autócrata for a little longer so she could acumulate one last calm mind and she would be at +4 in special attack and defense. One of the staryu shot a watergun to Autócrata, but luckily Tirano got in the way and received the hit instead, giving enough time to Dictador to retaliate with a powerful thunderbolt that knocked out the star shape pokemon. Just when a dragonair was jumping forward to use dragon claw, the lampent finished and was ready to attack, while unfortunately, she hadn't been fast enough to prevent the attack, the dragon claw was aimed at Dictador, or to be more precise, to one of the double team illusions of it, so there was no harm

"HEY YOU!"

A shadow ball hit the dragonair and exploded in a black dark smoke that sent the pokemon away and made it faint

"Only I can hit my friends!"

Taking advantage of the sudden attack, Dictador used confuse ray on one dragonair and Tirano dazzling gleam on the weakened other, knocking it out. ("Hey, it's not so lame after all!")

Now that Autócrata had been buffed, Vince had eliminated the omastar and Déspota had eliminated the walrein, there was only left a staryu, a confused dragonair and a injured tentacool. Nothing seemed like it would last much longer

Well fuck

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons: The Unsettling Future

I hope nobody minds that my characters act offensive at times, they are criminals after all

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons: The Unsettling Future

"Sure, "hero", but i wouldn't get full cocky for only having defeated one of them."

Although the phrase was charged of offense, true was that Déspote had paid any attention to the display of the bug duo after Jacks had finished his speech and he had been impressed, but now he was too busy handling the situation and planning a strategy for being bothered and on top of that, the human revelation of the SneakyNinja team only managed to make him confused, but there was no time to talk about it, he would digest it later.

Of all the enemies, Tirano and Dictador could take most of them with a thunderbolt or two, but the dragonairs could take easy advantage of it and block the attacks with their electric resistance. They could always rely in Autócrata accumulating enough calm minds to blow away everything by herself, but it would take too much time and they couldn't risk loosing anyone or getting injured. First of all, divide and conquer

"Tirano, protect Autócrata. Autócrata, try to accumulate as many calm minds as you can. Dictador, double, triple, cuadruple and quintuple team, make them miss everything, but first..."

The banette was violently hit by an ice ball that was thrown to him, luckily only being a weak attack, but if he let the walrein continue it would be more and more hurtful, but for now he was only lowly injured.

"Arg! But first, confuse this fatass! I'll show it myself!"

"Confuse ray!"

The confuse ray hit the ice break pokemon just before it could launch the second ice ball, making it groan in confusion and blink excessively as it rolled around, hitting the nearby tentacool in the turmoil. The banette stood up and shouted a "go go go" multiple times before going for the walrein himself. Dictador and Tirano started by throwing a thunderbolt to a omastar that was already getting too close to Autócrata, defeating it quickly, but their second attack, as it was predicted by Déspota, was blocked by the dragonairs, which luckily retaliated with a slam attack that didn't affect any of the ghosts, who simply floated away to safety (except for Dictador, who remained there as a bait using double team). Meanwhile, Déspota saw that even approaching the walrein would be a difficult feat, and while he though of letting Vince, with his wonder guard, handle the enemy, he scrapped the idea when he saw the walrein using rock slide (but luckily hitting itself in the confusion). Déspota was not as fast as the others, and when he tried to hit with a shadow sneak he barely managed to scrath the bulky Walrein. At that point it didn't matter, if the banette paralyzed it he wouldn't be able to scratch it, if he burned it the walrein could just use surf before the burn teared it off. Just in that moment the rest of the team was getting cornered and that's when Tirano shouted

"Jacks, Vince, we need your help here!"

But Déspota had a better idea in that moment.

"No! I mean, Vince, please help them. Jacks...!

He swallowed and tensed his cloth-like arms, the walrein had just snapped out of the confusion

"Think you could pass me a baton like you did with Vince?"

"But of course, we already said we would take care of our clients"

As nice as that sounded, the truth was that their were really the ones in charge of going to the hidden land and temporal tower, and if what Alice said was right, they would need someone pure of heart to arrive there, and while none of the members of the Bad Rulers were really evil, it would be laughable to suppose that any of them were completely "pure of heart", that's what the ninjask and his brother would provide, if they were heroes as they said.

"So it's everyone ready? let's go into the brine cave"

The first floors were easy, even though they were often attacked, the wild pokemon came in low numbers, one or two at the time, usually a kingler, a gastrodon or a walrein. The Ghost group compensated their relative low level (compared to the SneakyNinja team) by teamwork (if you can call teamwork ganging up altogether at the same time on the same enemy), a tactic rather brute, but effective. While Déspota saw on a couple of times how Jacks and Vince were attacking as well, true is that he never saw Alice attacking even once, but she was at the back and the banette was leading the way, so it could be that he was simply not seeing much.

After some time walking/floating (it's ironical how the banette was the only one who needed to touch the floor) they finally reached the final 15th underground floor, and they could just feel that the end was near, what would be the transport pokemon that would carry them to the hidden land?
Just when they stepped into a spacious room, suddenly a bunch of wild pokemon fell from the ceiling, two omastar, a kabutops, a pair of dragonairs, three staryu a tentacool and a walrein, Autócrata pushed Déspota quickly to one side just when a water gun was about to hit him

"it's a monster house, watch out!"

The whole party was cornered, they have been able to advance thanks to the enemies being just one or two at the time, but now that they were facing a lot of them they would need to fight for real.
