Is tropi.us down again?

Fortree

Victor looks up at his friend, the Meowth now in his lap.

"Hmmm. Hmmmmmmm. That is quite the mystery. Where'd you find that thing?"

He gestures at the chalk.

Chat down?

Fortree

Joseph: ...loooooong story.

It's up for me. Or now back up, at least.

Fortree Gym

Gogie: Okay... Let's hope this goes well.

-Gogie heads in and makes his way to Winona-

Fortree

"Heh, I bet."

He stands up and brushes himself off.

"Well, not that your magic chalk isn't awesome but I gotta head out. Next time you get up to something crazy hit me up."

He hands Joe his Pokegear number, then walks off with a wave.

I must go, my people need me

Fortree Forest

Toxicroak: <Enough of this nonsense. Fade, get in their and tear his lungs out.>

-Fade dives for Ever, who knocks the machine onto its side and rolls away-

Toxicroak: <Get back here at once!>

Fortree Gym

-Winona is waiting for Gogie-

Winona: Hello, I'm the leader here. Through challenges, I triumph with grace...witness the elegant choreography of bird Pokemon and I!

Somewhere else in Fortree

Brie: -twitch-

Back to the Gym

-Winona sends out an Swellow-

Swellow: <Have you been vaccinated lately?>

Fortree Gym

Gogie: "...Um, uh."

...Wait, probably shouldn't answer the Swellow.

-He thinks a bit, then sends out Fishy-

Fishy: <Uh, I'm the one starting? Okay...>

I can't connect to the chat at all.

Fortree Gym

Winona: Swellow, begin with an Aerial Ace!

Swellow: <Don't worry, this won't hurt if you relax!>

-and she dives for Fishy-

Fortree Gym

-Due to how Fishy's general inability to relax, the Aerial Ace does hurt-

-Granted, it wasn't as much as he was expecting it to hurt-

Gogie: Okay... Hm...

"Try Ice Beam!"

-Fishy nods, then releases a beam of cold at the Swellow-

Fortree Gym

Swellow: <Ow!> -brought to about half-health- <Hmm, reflexes good...now, hold still so I can take your temperature.>

-she dives at Fishy with another Aerial Ace, this time jabbing her beak at his face-

Fortree Gym

-Fishy is still unable to avoid the Aerial Ace and gets struck in the face as a result-

-The temperature would probably be a bit lower than expected for most Mudkip, but within line of a Mudkip that just shot an Ice Beam out of his mouth-

Fishy: <H-hey!>

-He shoots off another Ice Beam at the Swellow-

Fortree

Fletcha: Heh, that sounds like the opposite of me. I'm always one to be overly cautious and nervous whenever there's danger involved, hence the lack of bravery...

But I digress. Hope you find someone to help you uncover that tablet's secrets.

I'm not able to get on chat right now, but I think I'm able to post sporadically tonight

Fortree Gym

-the Swellow faints from the point-blank attack-

Winona: Hmm, impressive.

-she sends out a Pelipper, who stares at Fishy from her huge blank eyes-

<Hi, Fishy! I've been waiting for you! My name is Fishy!>

Wherever Pianis happens to be

Amanita: Hey, Pianis. If you grew a mustache, would it be blue?

Fortree Gym

Fishy: <...Wait, what? You're Fishy too?>

Gogie: "Uh, hey, stay focused! Use... Rock Tomb!"

-Fishy turns his attention and tries to bring down rocks on the Pelipper to slow her-

Fortree Gym

Pelipper: <I certainly am!> -she Protects from the Rock Tomb- <I'm really terribly insecure about it, though. It's quite awful.>

Fortree Gym

Fishy: <Wha- What're you?...>

Fortree Gym

Pelipper: <I am you. You are me. Simple as that. Take a look.>

-she spreads her wings-

<Sixth gym, and I haven't even evolved. No wonder I'm so insecure; that's pathetic. I'm not using moves of my type, I just cower behind what I think will do the most damage so I don't have to fight!>

Fortree Gym

Fishy: <...>

<...>

-Fishy snickers-

<You almost had me for a bit there.>

<I mean... I'd like to evolve and be more helpful, yeah, but I know why I'm waiting.>

<And Fisher uses differently typed moves all the time! It's not something to be ashamed of!>

<I might be insecure about some things, but you didn't get any of them because...>

<You're>

<Not>

<Me!>

-He tries another Rock Tomb-

Fortree Gym

-the Pelipper's false smile drops away immediately as the Rock Tomb crashes down on her-

<Fine then, I'll take it out of your corpse!>

-and she dives at Fishy with an Aerial Ace-

Fortree Gym

-Fishy is unable to withstand the Aerial Ace and faints-

-Gogie recalls him-

Gogie: ...Well, that went better than expected.

But, hm... sorry, but I think I'll
need to send in a veteran

-He throws a ball and sends a Magnezone out, who immediately flashes a Signal Beam at him-

FeSO₄: <Oh, hey, Go- Er... Aiki! Been kind of a bit, especially with you as a->

Gogie: "Talk later. Battle now."

FeSO₄: <Oh, right.>

-He sends a greeting beam towards the Pelipper instead-

<Hey there!>

Gogie: "Uh, use Thunderbolt!"

FeSO₄: <Eat this, Thunderbolt!>

-He shoots one at the Pelipper-

Fortree Gym

Pelipper: <Wait, what do I do no—>

-faints-

Winona: Hm. -she sends out an Altaria- Flamethrower!

Altaria: <Flames won't melt steel beams!>

-and she fires a stream of flames down at Fe SO 4-

Fortree Gym

-FeSO₄ takes a decent amount of damage from the Flamethrower-

FeSO₄: <Oof, that hurt.>

Gogie: "Hrm..."

"Use... something Steel-type!"

FeSO₄: <Something Steel-type coming up!>

-He tries using a Flash Cannon on the Altaria-

Fortree Gym

Altaria: <How silly of you.> -doesn't take a whole lot of damage- <Steel won't melt a dragon's armor either!>

-and she uses another Flamethrower-

Fortree Gym

-FeSO₄ is unable to take the Flamethrower and faints-

-Gogie recalls him-

Gogie: Well... that was unfortunate.

But, hey, looks like we might win this.

Hm...

-He throws a ball and sends out a Piloswine looking upwards-

Eisschwein: <Ooh, you're ceiling's really pretty.>

Gogie: "Use..." Hm... "Hail."

Eisschwein: <Aw, I haven't looked at the ceiling enough yet...>

<Fine...>

-He causes the ceiling to be obscured by a hailstorm raining down Ice-
