>PREVIOUSLY ON SCRUMPTIOUS CALEM . . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbBwWqUJ428
>[Clink clink clink]...
This is it. This is paradise. Paradise in a bottle of finely-aged wine. All those times the local NPCs from down the street asked you things like "Hey Calem, what's the BEST club sandwich you've ever had?" or "Hey punk, what should I order? Do you recommend torchicken nuggies or the torchicken tendies?", now you finally have an answer for them that's not "How should I know, foodie? I only fucking eat White Castle!"
White Castle does not offer club sandwiches or torhicken whatevers.
>[Clink clink clink]...
Silverware scraping the plates, lips smacking, gut growling—your stomach says more but your head says there's no way in hell you can keep going. You're not sure which to listen to, they both raise good points.
>>24877151
>[Clink clink clink]...
A tear or two is wrung out your eye as you look at it. It's the largest slab of exaggeratedly-oversized animu meat you've ever seen, completely overflowing with savory meaty juices, much-needed protein for your quarter-half gains, and a bone just in case you need something to suck on afterward.
Not even the cutest girl in the known universes could drive you this crazy. Yes. That includes the one you're looking for. That's just how astonishing it is (you probably shouldn't tell her that though).
>'Unf... I don't deserve this much sustenance..~'
It's garnished with spices, parsley and the like. They even gave you a raw Shellder as a side, that's how you KNOW it's fancy. There's no expense spared on the drinks either, you're given a bottle of this world's finest freshly-squanched sparkling Fiji water from the Ozarks (try not to think too hard about that). This is a good thing, 'cause your other option for a beverage was a particular native alcohol whose fermentation you'd rather not recollect.
>>24877157
>"So uh, what's this stuff made out of?"
>"It's a vintage wine procured from the milt of Feebas."
>"And er, what's the hell is its 'milt'?"

>"Oceanic baby batter."
>"WHAAAAA?!?!"
>>24877159
Dinner's one-hundred percent perfect, that small little insignificantly minor hiccup aside, and it was so easy too. This Marowak fellow is practically offering you bed and breakfast and literally all you had to do was make up an elaborate background story about yourself as a citizen of the somber, isolated underground borough of Phil'erup. And the best part is..
>'He toooooootally bought it!'
Garakaw is what he calls himself. /Councilman Garakaw/, a bone-toting political adviser to the mayor of Phil'erup, and no doubt someone aware of the enigmatic cult you need to hunt down. Your luck simply can't get any better. This guy's tied down by civic duty to do everything in his power to get to know you as a person (being that you're an unknown face and all), that includes free food and hospitality. If you keep this good neighbor charade up, you can ooze onto his good side and in the process, surely get him to spill the beans on where you might find the cult! The Skitty's in the bag! It's fool-proof!
>'Man, I should probably feel bad for basically swindling this guy.. ahhhh but if it's for food THIS good, there can't possibly be a downside to it!'
You're thinking with your stomach again.
>>24877174
"Well Mr. Calemson," says the councilman himself while cutting into his steak. "you certainly have an enriching past. I don't believe I've ever heard a life story as.. colorful and animated as yours. Suppose I can see why Midoro is so fond of you now. Hrm.. What line of work did you say you were in again?"
You look up at Garakaw with half a mouthful of meat. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....."
A) "ECONOMICS."
B) "Culinary!"
C) "Dentistry!"
D) "I'm a common practice girl."
A
>>24877179
You're so busy being engrossed in your big meaty surprise that the councilman's inquiry almost doesn't register with you at first, but when it does, you find yourself at a sudden loss for words. All this thought of yum-yum protein stuffs has gotten your mind wandering elsewhere, you almost forgot your whole cover-up story for a minute there. "E-Ehh..? Er.." you stammer while reclaiming your marbles, cheeks packed like a Patrat.
"O-Oh!" fortunately your memory comes to just in time.
Forcing yourself to swallow the huge lump of orgasmic meat whole, you emit a much-needed exhale and jump straight to the answer.
"PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....................Hah......haaaaaah.....ahah...........EC.....ECO-......ECONOMICS!" you exclaim.You should probably stop eating like a Grumpig and start chewing your food. Let that be a lesson, fatass.
Garakaw cranes his head, but decides not to pressure you on your quirky antics. "Right, that's it. Economics. Hmph, it's an interesting field of study to say the least. Not quite politics but I won't deny seeing where the appeal comes from. "
He pauses for just a moment before crossing his arms. "..What I still can't believe is that this is truly the first time our paths have crossed. Though Phil'erup shows signs of growth by the day, it's still a fairly minute community in the grand scheme of things. To think that a young man as impressive as yourself has strayed from the public eye this long, even from town officials.."
Just to show he's not completely tense (read: suspicious), he eases himself and sighs. "Forgive me if I come off as dubious. My prattling can seem endless to some, but it comes with the position. You see, rumors have been making the rounds recently.."
A) "O-Oh no, it's no trouble at all! I love dinner conversation, and I love dinner even more!"
B) "Saucy gossip you say? What's up?"
C) Justify your absence and reemergence into society (ie: more hot lies)
>>24878813
B
>not being a common practice girl
>>24878822
It's a known fact that Calem has trouble getting up
>>24878813
"Ooooooh, saucy gossip you say?" your ears suddenly perk up, this could be your big chance. "What's up?" you ask, attempting to make your desperation to know more ask mere neutral-man's curiosity.
Your ruse manages to maintain its effect, the councilman puts no stock into your eagerness and deems it as more simple dinner talk. The same, however, can't be said for Midoro.
Oh, were you under the assumption this was a dinner for two? No, you pokephilic homo, it's one of those third wheel situations. You're having this meal with the councilman's son too (your newest friend to be precise), a little Chespin named Midoro with a righteous knack for adventuring and (more importantly) regaling any audiences willing to listen to him with the exaggerated tales of his grandeur delusions.
Rarely does anyone ever listen.
Everyone in Phil'erup tends to stay the hell away from him. The "problem child" they all call him. He's kind of alone, he gets bullied, he gets into trouble a lot, *he gets punished a lot*, he doesn't have many friends, but still manages to keep a smile on his face for the sake of adventuring. An optimistic little hedgehog, his desires for companionship are always close-by, in the wish-fulfilling fantasies that are his adventurous exploits.
It's the sort-of life you'd take pity on, if not because your own childhood was basically the same thing. In fact, your little friendship with him is what got you to stumble across Garakaw in the first place, so you really owe it to him.
>>24881545
For being such a damn chatterbox, Midoro's been surprisingly quiet this whole time, not really saying much while you and the boney councilman engage in 'grown-up talk'. You think you can venture a guess as to why:You've actually told him your entire life story already (your REAL life story) as a ticket to earning his trust.
Those amazing tales you spoke of to him a half-hour ago in no way correlate to the false as fuck story you're sticking behind now—the bland existence of a man waist deep in economics. Midoro is bamboozled by your sneaky tactics, but thankfully chooses not to call you out on it, supposing that there might actually be a good reason for you fibbing to his father (or -you fibbing to him-, cause you know he's not sure which story's the real one yet). You'll have to make certain to clear this up with him once Garakaw exits the room.
Midoro's something of a grubby eater too, and it shows.
Garakaw, still wholly oblivious to the charade, runs a hand across his Thick Club (a special bone capable of doubling his Attack power, you don't want to be on the other side of that). "Hrmm....."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=porYn-KizEQ
"Mr. Calemson..." he begins, tone dropping to something a little more ominous.
This sounds like it's going to be heavy. You down a shot of that sparkling Fiji water before answering. "Uh..? Yeah?"
"If given the choice..." he continues."would you die for the sake of your town?"
A) "Yeah, sure, why not m8? I've done worse."
B) "Sure, what color do you want? I can do anything but green."
C) "Die.... Hard?"
D) "Depends. Are there some people who would want to kill me?"
E) "What? No way! I have too much to live for, all my... economics!"
>>24881634
"Die.... Hard?" you parrot with a cocked brow. Who knows? It IS that time of year, after all (sucks you won't be spending it in a universe where you can, y'know, actually watch it).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPeq0XNnr9I
"In a way, yes." says the councilman. Midoro darts his eyes back-and-forth between you both, trying to keep up with the conversation without looking too much like an interloper. "So it's an action you would consider then.. This means more to me.. /us/ than you would think."
His gaze flocks from his club to your face. "Word has it that there is an unbridled source of terrorism running amok in the shadows of our town. One that threatens the very sanctity of our existence. Few have seen it, and fewer know of its presence. How does that.. make you feel?"
A) "It makes me kinda scared, zoinks!"
B) "It really grinds my gears!"
C) "It makes me feel compelled to H E L P!"
D) "War.. War changes everything."
>>24882240
The letter of Deal
>>24882240
C. Heroes never balk in the face of danger!
>>24882240
C
Gotta look good.
>>24882240
You've been through more than enough calamities in your life to know that there's at least one thing that always stays the same about the hardships in life. With a booming nuance, you proclaim your response to the councilman:
"It makes me feel compelled to H E L P!"
"!" Midoro's eyes widen and he lets out a little gasp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbtaJYCg5LE
"A bold response," Garakaw notes. "yet a noble one all the same. And you're not even certain what exactly you'll be up against.. No wonder you've been able to bond with my child. This is exactly the type of stark heroism I've been searching for."
"It is?" you splutter out. "E-Er I mean, OF COURSE IT IS! I may dabble in dollars and coins, but if there's one other thing I know it's that I want to help EVERYBODY! Pay it forward I say, full circle! Let freedom ring! If someone needs me, I'll always be there, lickety split!"
Midoro's pretty starry-eyed throughout all of this (seems you may have a fan). His father suppresses a chuckle. "Hm hm.. Always impressive, aren't you? But do you have the will to back this talk up, Mr. Calemson?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Your circumstances are out of the ordinary for someone who claims -to be- ordinary," Garakaw explains. "to the point that you may be of pivotal use to a movement resisting against darker forces."
Then, to his son's awe, he comes out and says it."I have a proposition for you, should you choose to accept it. Do you?"
>Assist Garakaw?
A) "'HO YEAH!"
B) "I have better things to do."
>>24882507
A for Action
>>24882507
>'Ambergris Louise, this might just be my lucky break! I'VE NEVER FELT SO ALIVE!'
Without a second thought, you immediately down the rest of your animu meat and clams, slurping the last of the Fiji water before slamming the bottle on the table. "Are you kidding?! HO YEAH! Sign me up! Just name it and I'll do it! I mean, I just ate raw Shellder, I'M INVINCIBLE!" you exclaim.
"Then it's settled!" declares the councilman, club raised high. "From this moment hither, you are a surreptitious asset to Phil'erup's political nexus! A hero whose valor is marked in the name of community!"
![gnome_city_by_ortheza[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/vPRLs0n.jpg "gnome_city_by_ortheza[1].jpg")
>>24882681
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There's an organization on the other side of town conspiring against us, one mired deep in vindictive envy. This unruly flock of dastards aspire to expose confidential intelligence vital to Phil'erup's survival. Should this information be disclosed to the rabid masses, you can expect this community to flourish no longer. The circumstances are that dire."
>'An organization..? L-Like a cult? Maybe the one I'm looking for!'
Garakaw paces around the room, club slung over his shoulder. "Beyond their steadily-growing numbers, little know of their coming treachery, of which I am one of. The mayor has held constant discussions with his most-trusted associates on how to censor the situation, but nothing concrete has come out of them. We're at a sincere lost on how to combat them. Our ideas are futile and bear no fruit.""Mr. Calemson, this is where you come in."
"Right!..Er, how so though?"
"You contain the element of surprise as a result of your hermit lifestyle, the guise of an economical neutral party. Few citizens can say they have this advantage, and just as you've evaded the eye of our civil leaders, you've also evaded the eye of the flock. This gift allows you to persecute them in ways we cannot."
![1305759231-city-future-underground-science-fiction-wallpaper[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4HakPlB.jpg "1305759231-city-future-underground-science-fiction-wallpaper[1].jpg")
>>24883217
Garakaw stops, turns, and aims his club in your direction. "Mr. Calemson, if you /truly/ desire to be a supportive asset to the people of Phil'erup, you will aid us in recovering this stolen knowledge from the defiance and downsizing their manpower. Without evidence for the claims they suggest, they will be seen as no more than wild conspiracy theorists by their crowds, no different than common lunatics."
Finding no problem with that, you nod. "Makes sense. I can definitely do that!... just as long as I know where to find these guys."
"What little intelligence our sources have gathered suggests they've assumed control of the local Mallartaud Theatre, and that they plan to meet there on this very night." he spares a moment to chuckle. "You see how the stars are aligning in our favor, don't you? Tonight is a rare moment to strike and weaken their forces, we'd be imbeciles not to seize the chance. "
>Take Midoro along?

>>24883361
"You'll need an escort if you are to reach Mallartaud Theatre unharmed. The flock is sure to recognize me if I were to accompany you, however..." with a hand gripping his chin, Garakaw turns to his eager son. "They hold little regard for children.."
Using his club as a support, the councilman kneels down until he's level with his son. "Midoro.. if I were to entrust you with but a single, simple task, would you be able to accomplish it?"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! R-Really Papa?!" the little guy squeaks. "Y-Yeah! Yeah! I can do it!
That's practically all the confirmation his father needs. Midoro is promptly given a fake, plastic, off-brand dollar store antennae to act as a mild disguise. "Then it's settled. You will guide Mr. Calemson to the theater. To cover yourself in the possible scenario that one of them recognizes the 'problem child', claim that you are a Scatterbug. The antennae will do the rest."
"O-Okay! I will!" exclaims Midoro with a salute. "You can count on me, Papa!"
"I should hope so."
>>24886031
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Midoro temporarily joined your party!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIo51U4-vU0
And so you set off on your bold quest to accost the thespian rogues that have taken control of the theater. As instructed, Midoro leads the way, happily bobbing about with each step he takes (he's probably never had a job this 'important' before).
Once you're far away from his humble adobe however, the situation takes a drastic turn. The little hedgehog suddenly snaps in your direction with nothing but shock written on his face. "Mister Calem!! What the heck was that?! I don't get it! I mean, you told great explorer Midoro-sama you were a famed adventurer from beyond the stars with a 'hair-yum' as high as the cave ceiling!.. b-but then you told Papa you were just a boring hung-up businessman with a lotta free time, and he totally believed you!"
Ever puzzled, he scratches his head and frowns. "Why did you, um, hide the truth from him? Is it an explorer's secret?"
A) "Yeah, that's it. Explorer's secret! Gotta keep this stuff between us, y'know?"
B) "Er.. I don't think your 'Papa' would have taken the news as comfortably as you did."
C) "I'm actually both. A famed adventurer who *happens* to be skilled in economics!"
D) "It's pronounced 'harem'."
>>24886199
D, priorities man.
>>24886199
Fucking normie Chespin ree
D
>>24886199
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ACKSHUALLY...... It's pronounced 'harem', and it refers to the number of hot babes I have in rotation at any given time. But yes, you're spot-on otherwise. Listen, I've gotta keep certain things hush-hush from certain people while I'm here, it just so happens that I consider you special."
"Special?"
"Special enough to know the super-secret actual truth. Can't say the same about anyone else here. They're all giving me the stink eye, I can't see it, but I can definitely feel it, and that's nooooooooo good."
"You mean like eye-bullies? I get those all the time, Mister Calem! But the amazing adventurer Midoro-sama doesn't let it bother him! He just does as he pleases! Like right now!"
He proceeds to step on a crack in the street multiple times without a care in the world. "See that?" he says to you. "The great explorer Midoro-sama has just condemned someone's mom to one-hundred years worth of traumatizing BACK PAIN!"
"Eh...? Isn't superstitious stuff like that supposed to affect your own mom?"
"Foolish Mister Calem-sama!" he chides. "I happen to carry an innate immuni-titty to curses like this—all momless explorers are!"
...
Perhaps you should just continue to the theater.
![illustration_cave_city_1_by_gycinn-d7v40l2[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/H8MK4EA.jpg "illustration_cave_city_1_by_gycinn-d7v40l2[1].jpg")
>>24886800
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aha! Look, look! There it is, *there it is*! That big building over there! It's Mallartaud!" Midoro declares from behind the fire hydrant. "Once again the great Midoro-sama proves that NOTHING can hide from his all-seeing explorer's eye! Bam wham! Kapow! Kerchow!"
You pop out from behind the post box next to his hydrant. "So this is the theater I've heard so much about in the past fifteen minutes?"
"Yup yup!" he asserts with a toothy smile. "Papa used to take me here all the time. But uh.. then it became comman....comma.... comman-something.. and we couldn't go anymore."
"Commandeered?"
"Yeah, that's it!"
Indeed, the theater does look like it's housing more than a few unsavory fellows. Long beaks, big beaks, flat beaks, short beaks, red beaks, blue beaks—it's festering with bird mons, basically. For what reason, you can't say. Maybe it's an 'avian-only' policy they've got going on (isn't that subtle racism?).
"Hm.. Y'know, it's just a hunch but something tells me they don't take kindly to humans. This is going to be a little harder than your dad made it out to be.."
>Infiltrate the theater how?
A) Construct waaaaaaaacky disguises!
B) Sneak in through an air vent dummy.

>thinking binary theatre roles still exist
>>24887483
Don't mock equality, you timmy teabagger.
Everyone will be equal, everyone will be same. Only then we can be diverse.
>>24887013
Still staking out the theater premises, you come to surmise that the only way to get inside without causing a scene is to go... /in style/. "Hmmm. . My gut's telling me we're going to have to do this incognito, and it was right earlier when it came to the meat so we should probably listen to it."
"My gut says the same thing Mister Calem-sama! This Scatterbug antennae will only attract unwanted attention from feathery predators! THE AMAZING MIDORO-SAMA suggests that we need a more subtle and nuanced costume! Something that tweet tweets and flaps in the night!"
Your little sidekick is right, a thematic crowd calls for a thematic get-up. The only way to convince these squawky cockblockers that you're one of them is to slap on a beak of your own. Your faggoty jacket is a trademark in all but name and recognizable from miles away, so you take that hot sucker off and ditch the hat too ('cause birds don't wear hats, only trainers and Team Fortress 2 users do).
Storing both items in your personal hammerspace, you turn to your hedgehog sidekick. "Say Midoro, do you know of any wacky costume shops around here? We're going to have to make a quick stop."
"You betcha! Follow me, Mister Calem-sama! THE MAJESTIC MIDORO-SAMA WILL SHOW THE WAY! TOOOOOOOOOO PARTY CITY!"
"Uh.. Just 'Calem' will do."

"SQUAWK! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE you're in!"
"SQUAWK! You're i- HEY HEY HEY WAIT A MINUTE! HOLD UP—DRIODRIODRIO—Just what kind of birds are you guys supposed to be!?"
Mere steps away from the entrance, you and Midoro are accosted by the perpetually angry head of the theater's three-headed, flightless bodyguard. The other heads—happy and clinically depressed—don't seem to care much about it, though they're both sure they could handle the situation better.
A) "Flightless birds aren't even really birds if you ask me."
B) "I'm just like you, man:an angry bird!"
C) Turn the heads on each other with a witty remark.
D) Birdseed bribe time.
E) Confuse him with a logic riddle.

Dodrio's are known for being inept, bickering buffoons who can't ever agree on any little thing much less be put in charge of major crowd control. This one in particular seems to be a little smarter than the average specimen (maybe he took a crash course?), but that doesn't mean you still can't befuddle it.
Calem-style, of course.
"What kind of bird /am I/?" you repeat back, arms outstretched and chest puffed out. "Why, I'm just like you, man:I'm an angry bird!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-4-gLlF0uw
"W-Wow.." says the angry head, mortification on his face. "Th-That's kind of deep.. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I can't possibly turn you away now, or else.. I'll be no better than my father! SQUAWK! My sincerest apologies, you're in, you're in! SQUAWK we'll even offer you front row seats!"
"Now that's more like it!" you smile. "I'll see to it that you earn a very shiny nickel on your next paycheck."
"Hooray!" chimes the happy head. "You're so so so lucky! A front row seat to the greatest show in Phil'erup! You're gonna LOVE IT!"
"Awwwwh.........Why'd you go and do that......? " the depressed head groans. "Now the next guy in line is gonna be sad because he'll just be getting a plain seat in the back........ no special treatment for him.....................not that it matters......"

"Well shucks.. I wasn't expecting it to be this crowded!" you confess while carrying Midoro through the bustling crowds of the lobby. "This rebel faction's bigger than I thought, they're all bird mons too.. And what was that Dodrio talking about just now? Greatest show in Phil'erup? What show? I thought we were having a secret meeting!"
"KAPOW!! The GREAT Midoro-sama suggests that the power of reverse psychology is at work!"
"Oh? How so?"
"Everyone always expects a secret to be hidden in a secretive place, don't they Calem-sama? Even FAMED EXPLORERS follow that belief! Well consider this amazing MIDORO-SAMA theory!: What if you wanted a secret to be so hidden, that you actually hid it in a place so blatantly obvious no one would think to look there? What a madman! CONCLUSION: the enemy target lies in the fantastical explorer Midoro-sama's crosshairs, right out in the open, INTENTIONALLY!"
"I guess I can see the logic there.. I just wonder what kinda show they're going to be putting on."
>"Chaaaaaaaaatot! Tot tot TOT! Attention! Attention! We appreciate your patience. The auditorium is now OPEN! Please please, everyone proceed inside and take your seats, the show will be starting very shortly! CHAAAATOT TOT!"
"Looks like we're going to find out, Calem-sama! Boy, it's our lucky day!"

As soon as the doors open, you're among the early birds vying to be seated first. There's no time to waste and there's no way you're going to let any of these birdbrains steal your front row seats from you.
Fortunately, there's no trouble to be had. You and your hedgehog buddy are seated without issue as the rest of the crowd fills in. Before long, the auditorium reaches its maximum capacity, all rows, all columns, all balconies full (with some mons even forced to watch from the doors), and all you can do is sit and wait for the big extravaganza to start.

"ATTENTION ATTENTION! TOT TOT TOT!"
Before you can ponder any further about the grand scheme for your current endeavors, the Chatot from before reappears, perching himself atop the main stage's mic. "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT TOT TOT! Please, please, settle down! If I could just get everyone's attention! Cuckoo cuckoo!"
Once everyone shuts up, the Chatot clears his throat and raises a wing. "Thank you all for your persistent patience! Tot tot! The resistance welcomes everyone to yet another semi-bi-weekly meeting, we even brought Lava Cookies because we're so nice!"
"That said, TOT TOT! We've called for this meeting today so that we may disclose to you all, PRIVATE intelligence that our sources have gathered that when revealed, will make you CONSIDERABLY doubt just about everything you THINK you KNOW about Phil'erup! Tot tot!"
>'Shoot, shoot, shoot! How am I supposed to steal that info back in front of all these mons?!'

The aptly-named 'Leek Miser' steps up to the mic and slams his leek on the stage while his vaudeville Psyducks disperse into the crowd. "FARFAR! Now wasn't THAT something? How's everyone doing today? You doing good? You FEELING good? THAT'S GREAT! We're going to have such a fun time tonight! We've gotta bunch of HOT acts scheduled for the next hour that'll get your motor runnin' a ten miles a minute. And if this is your first time with us tonight—then I hope that little number was able to enrich you about what this society's all about! Lava Cookies are in the back, as per usual!"
"And if you need to ask who /I/ am then you probably weren't paying attention!"

>>24892021
With those introductions made, the Leek Miser returns backstage so that his Chatot crony can introduce the next act. "Tot tot tot! What a great guy! Have you ever met a more sociable fella? He oughta get a trophy for being so based!"
"Anyhow, TOT TOT! Before we move onto the meat of the meeting, we must all stop and pay tribute to the Great Flying Ditto in the Sky, in the hopes that his purple gooey gooeyness fills all the toxic holes left behind by the disgusting surface world. And to induce us all into melodic prayer..."

>>24892529
Following Chatot's stage exit, the curtains open to reveal two shadowed silhouettes. In a bright flash, a spotlight centers on them, unveiling the duo as a surly-looking Spearow and his dopey Fearow companion ('Bill' and 'Drill' if you had to wager a guess).
The audience is in a riot before either sparrow even opens their beaks. In response to their entrance, the crowd unanimously clasps their wings together while bobbing their heads to their discombobulated rhythm. For the sake of keeping up your avian charade, you and Midoro quickly but subtly follow suit (lord knows why you're praying to a blob with a smiley face though).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbcfheP2E-I
The Fearow lazily flaps over to the mic, grasping it in his wing and ripping a wild screech at the crowd. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMP!"
Only to be instantly smacked upside the head Steel Wing-style by his much smaller cohort. "You idiot!" the Spearow chides. "What the heck are you talking about?! There aren't any Machamps here!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-4-gLlF0uw
"Uhhh durrrrr, it's not my fault!" the Fearow argues."You said everyone in the audience tonight had 'Big Pecks'!"
>>24893778
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJfJTmfq2Q4
"What the hell? That was stupid and barely even funny! Pun-based humor is without a doubt the lowest form of comedy, and duo acts are so played out!... so why exactly do /I/ consider them both to be the pinnacles of humor? Maybe I'm the one who's out of touch.."
"Or maybe I just have patrician taste.."
"I LIKE IT, THESE TWO TOTALLY GET ME! BRAVO!"
>>24893778

That one actually got me to laugh; goddamnit.

>>24893847
"Hm, hm," hums the Spearow. "Word has it we have a few newbies in the flock tonight, innit?"
"New bees? Duhhhhh, what happened to the old bees?"
His dimwitted curiosity is shot down by another Steel Wing to the face. "None of your BEESwax, mon!" the smaller bird counters. "Hm hm, what IS your beeswax is that we hafta break in these new members, yunno! They have to KNOW what it means to be resist the big man, yunno mon, and the first step on that road is knowing how it feels to pay tribute to the only god in town still worth putting stock into eh—and that stock is laughter innit! Give 'em the 'ol razzle dazzle, eh! You know the drill!"
"Duuuuhhhhh.. course I know the Drill!Cause that's me!"
"No, not /YOU/, mon. It's a figure of speech, blimey! But I 'spose you got the right idea about introductions.. Well you heard 'em rookies, that bloke's Drill, and I'm Bill, and this is our little thing! How do! How do!"

"Hm hm, by the looks of it we've gotta full house tonight, eh? Sold out crowd, I'd say!"
"Guuuuuhhhh, I can't believe it, it's like a Wish from Jirachi 'imself!"
"Quite surprised myself,your name usually turns half the crowd away!"
"Guhhhh! Shooting lowbrow so soon?!"
"That's what I do innit?That's why it's called Sniper!"
"Oi!!"
"Sorry sorry, mon, couldn't help myself, yunno. How's about we do the real thing then? From the top! Pitch a scene!"

The curtain falls on the duo as their act comes to a close, apparently having succeeded in their goal of generating enough undiluted amusement to appease that...... thing in the sky you were supposed to be offering devout praise to (you're still not sure how that little process works but whatever).
The Leek Miser returns in their place, and the "show" continues.

"Bahahaha! BA HA HA!~ FARFAR! These guys knock 'em dead every time, the Great Ditto's oughta be reeling with love by now! Oh what fun, what fun!~... Too bad all fun doesn't last."
The audience falls dead silent at the Miser's implication. "Yes, that's right! Farfar! You heard correctly.. Since the dawn of Phil'erup's inception there's always been a shadow behind the scenes tugging at our strings, manipulating our every move... we've advocated the notion that the government has been /lying/ to the people for quite a while, and now, we finally have the bold evidence to prove that claim!"
You brows perk up at that. "Oh man.. This is it! At what moment should I crash the party though..?"
A) How about right now? Not another peep from that duck!
B) Let the Miser speak a little more.
>>24898721

You decide to lay low for the time being, relaying the plan to Midoro in a coveted whisper. The time will come to strike the stage, but now's not quite it. The moment the Leek Miser unveils his golden goose is the moment you go full marauder. Until then you're pretty much a front row lurker.
"Farfar!" the Leek Miser continues. "Maybe it'll do us all some good if I recap the situation: Farfar! I'll begin with how this WRETCHED conspiracy came to be.. You all remember? Don'tcha? Don't tell me you've forgotten..ABOUT THE WORLD WAY UP ABOVE!?!?!?"
To the kneejerk cries and anguish of the crowd, the Leek Miser nods with his leek held high. "Yeah! That's what I want to hear! Let it ALL out, honey! Your tears are more than enough! Farfar! Remember what happened! Remember the LIFE you HAD before! The life taken away from you by the DREADED plague! The loved ones who were thinned out of existence! Everything as you know it—TAKEN AWAY UNTIL THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO TAKE!"
The overwhelming misery grows louder, you can't help but tug at your shirt.I-It's not like you meant to do it..
The Leek Miser stabs the ground with his leek. "Our world. Our HOME! It used to be BEAUTIFUL! Farfar! Pastures as far as the eye could see, flowers blooming everywhere, a bright shining sun amidst a lovely blue sky—sights we'll never see AGAIN!"
"Farfar! That mysterious phenomena—the supernatural plague! It came to our world on a whim and with it, brought a wave of unspeakable chaos and destruction! FARFAR! Our world was DARKENED, our resources were DEPLETED, our unfortunate brethren were stripped of their essence until they had no existence to speak of! And worst of all..""The holes... THE HOLES!"
>>24900005
"THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOLES!" exclaims Leek Miser with scorn. "Farfar! Geography's own acne! The foul, dastardly trypophobic pox that came with the plague! Farfar! For when there was nothing left for the plague to wither away, it begun...CONSUMING THE WORLD ITSELF!"
>'Damn.. I didn't think my aura was that hungry.. Did I really let it get this bad?'
The crowd begins to get really riled up by this point, cawing loudly and raging their fists as if they're ready to put up a fight (and they have every right to be enraged). "Yes! Farfar! This is the purpose of the craters that have plagued our world! They pop up by the day in mindless droves, you can never guess where—wherever the plague chooses! It eats away at a chunk of the world, bits at a time like a toxic nibble, and reduces it to a NOXIOUS pit expelling fumes DEADLIER than words can describe! An odorless gas that EATS away at your crux until you're NOTHING to speak of! Farfar!"
>'What the hell!? Th-That's horrible!.. oh shit, I was out on the surface too wasn't I? And... '
>'..so was Midoro...'
"The holes... There were too many of them to control! Farfar. They couldn't be contained. Our home was a colorless wasteland, and the scum still hungered for more! It wanted more and more and kept chipping away until the collective mass produced enough lethal fumes to drive what remained of us UNDERGROUND, scrambling for survival in a world already doomed to disaster!"
I must be honest:
I have literally no idea what's happening right now

We're getting lore deeper than Phil'erup right now. You'll find out what's going on in time.

>>24900494
"Farfar!" the Leek Miser tosses his leek in the air with one wing and catches it in the other. "That's how Phil'erup came to be, baby! A final refuge for the last leg of humanity. This is it, there's nowhere left to run! The holes are even beginning to sprout down here too! Farfar! We either die here like cowards or stand up and put up a fight! So what are you going to do?! FARFAR! You need worry no longer! BECAUSE I HAVE THE ANSWER!"
The audience cheers once more, their spirits reinvigorated by both the Miser's determination and what could be a thin sliver of hope. "So I suppose you all must be wondering... Farfar.How does the 'Siren' fit into this all of this?"
>'The Siren..?'
"Yes yes! Chatter, chatter, speculate! Fuel this theater with it! I WANT you to be confused, honey! Farfar! So that I may show you the way! Let it be known from this moment forward....that the Marrotonin are your ENEMY!Don't believe their heathen lies! Dismiss their drivel! It's all cacophony from a cult of deceit! This "Siren" is no goddess, she is a FRAUD! A fraud on which they want you to follow, so that they can undermine you from below!"
>'E-Eh... there are.... THERE ARE TWO CULTS?!'
Off-topicI am mad at myself that I'm butthurt about this being called a CYOA when it's clearly a quest thread. /tg/ is making my autism worse

The accusation that this second cult is corrupt is enough to send the audience into a state of hysteria, even moreso the thought of this 'Siren' character being just as unscrupulous. It seems the thought had never crossed their minds until now.
"Farfar! Hoard denial and disbelief if you want, I speak nothing but the truth! The Marrotonin are leading the people of this good town astray, and the government aims to actively suppress the people from knowing about it! Farfar! What I'm trying to say is...THEY'RE BROTHERS IN ARMS AND YOU'D BE A NITWIT TO THINK OTHERWISE!Farfar! Nearly everything they've told you from the very start has been sheer baloney through and through!"
"I'm sure you lot remember their rise power! Farfar! The Marrotonin.. it's an enigmatic following that came to be before Phil'erup was conceived, fabricated by men angered by what the plague took from them. Their grief, sorrow, heartache—it filled their hearts and forged into a vengeful dementia! Then they rose their pitchforks and boy, did they get angry! They wanted to rise up, they wanted to fight back... but for all the wrong reasons!"
"This was only the beginning of their rise to power. It didn't take long for them to put a leash on us. We had no choice but to follow them at the time. We were weak, we needed some guidance. Farfar! They would persecute anyone who dared question their asinine methods, and this savage headhunting only got worse when we relocated under the surface! Through intimidation and manipulation, the Marrotonin soon became the force behind Phil'erup's every move, all the while masking themselves as disciples working toward a greater good! And we were foolish enough to play into their hands!"
>>24902284
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDJCal8ZdRY
"WAKE UP AND SMELL THE TREACHERY IN THE AIR, BABY! Your friend the Miser's got it on his bill right now and it's got the Marrotonin's name plastered all over it! Farfar! OPEN YOUR BEADY LITTLE EYES! They're abusing the dismal circumstances of our world in order to take control of us and reign supreme, and the mayor's letting them! It's /total/ TOTALitarianism! Thus, the Mallartaud have called this meeting to order so that we can expose these frauds and put an end to them! Farfar! Don't believe me? WELL YOU SHOULD! With the Leek Miser's power, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!"
The Leek Miser raises his leek into the air, summoning a spotlight to shine down on the onion-y stick. "The Marrotonin want you to have faith in the Siren, believe that her 'divinity' can put an end to the plague... But it can't! Farfar! Sorry to say, but she's just another farce devised by them! She's a scapegoat! A patsy of a maiden! Want to know how? Lucky for you, Leek Miser's got the answer to that too, baby!"
"The Marrotonin grew stronger with each passing day, and by the time Phil'erup was erected, had just enough to continue swaying people into their league. Farfar! They needed an illusion, something to get the population to believe that hope was indeed on the horizon, and convince them that their way was law! They didn't need to look far! Through their wicked deception, a fell grimoire came about that provided the answer! And that cruel lore went a little something like this..""A beautiful maiden was summoned to our world on a whim, her heavenly voice pure enough to counteract the monstrosity of the plague!"
"So.. what did they do to this chaste angel to maintain the ruse..?""THEY T I E D H E R T O A C R O S S ! FARFAR!"

"Bahahahahahaha! BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!~ You just CAN'T make this stuff up! Farfar! It sounds like a fairy tale doesn't it?! Hope I didn't lay those bars too bluntly on ya, but it's the hard truth, and sometimes the truth H-U-R-T-S! These guys are sadistic, these guys have no shame, these guys are completely, UTTERLY insane!"
"You remember what I said earlier, don'tcha? The holes, they're starting to sprout here too, honey! Farfar! Further proof that no matter where we run, the plague will ALWAYS find us! This is where the Siren comes into play, and how the Marrotonin reeled us all into their power-hungry scheme!"
"According to their apocryphal lore, the Siren's sweet voice was meant to act not as a complete curative of the plague, but merely as an anesthetic to drastically sedate its influence over time. Farfar! Whenever they forced the poor lass to pervade her aura by speaking her sweet tones, the plague and manifestation of holes would be slowed down to minute numbers. Or at least, that's the story they wanted you to follow."
"What the cult neglected to tell you...was how they would profit from the process!"
"IF I COULD DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO STAGE RIGHT—EXHIBIT A! LIVING PROOF OF THE MARROTONIN'S CRIMES ON HUMANITY!"
"Faaaaaaaaaaaaaar......." onion stick twirling in his wing, the Leek Miser directs the audience to the right of the stage where a shadowy figure lies in wait. "FAR!!" the Miser snaps and strikes an overly-hammy pose, his leek pointing at none other than the 'evidence' and giving the cue for the spotlight mon to do his job.

"Aughhh.... I can't believe I let myself fall for their shitty trap.... DICKS! Let me out of here already! THIS IS MESSED UP!"
A caged Electabuzz. The fabled 'intelligence' you've been sent to retrieve.

The Leek Miser marches up to the 100%-foolproof cage, pumping his stick up with glee with each step. "Mm, yes. A noble request for a noble prisoner. Let me just think about tha—NO WAY! FARFAR! Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha!~ How stupid do you take us for!? As if we'd be foolish enough to simply let you wander out of here carefree! Farfar! Why you're a bigger riot than the act before us! Maybe I should hire you!"
"BUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZ!" the Electabuzz releases a devastating Discharge on the prison, but to no avail. "Ungh, you said I was just going to take a paid survey!"
"And indeed, farfar" the Miser nods and waves his leek. "A survey this is! A quizzical intervention with an audience of Mallartauds! Farfar! No need to worry on your account, I'll definitely make sure someone pays you handsomely by the end of the day, baby. I mean,I can only imagine how depressing your actual salary is!Ba ha ha ha ha ha HA!~"
"GAAAAAAHHHH!"
"Farfar. You don't have to act so boorish about it. Come now! This is a show, a show with YOU as the star, try to be lively! Amusement is what drives this theater! For example, look at this little dance I'm doing, left foot here, right foot here! Raise your leek and do a little fancy twirl! Come on, dance with me! We shall perform a number as an opening to our big finale!"
"I'm not doing a damn thing with you, pansy! BUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZ!"
"Ba ha ha ha!~ No amount of thunderbolting will get you out of there, friend. Feel free to keep wasting time though, I'm going to live life in the moment and dance the hour away, pointing and laughing at your misery every so often. I'm certain the audience will follow suit."
>The Miser...
A) offers to spare the Electabuzz at the cost of a small fee.
B) asks the audience themselves to determine the Electabuzz's fate.
C) just keeps dancing
>>24903489
C. While he's doing this, exit the auditorium with Midoro and try to sneak backstage. If there's any time to move, it's now while everyone is distracted.

>>24903489The tie was randomized.
"BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZ!!"
The Leek Miser shakes his head at the Electabuzz's futile escape efforts. "Farfar. You're very hardheaded, aren't you? It's pointless to overexert yourself like this, unless you're aiming to be exhausted! Ba ha ha HA!~ There's no way you're going anywhere anytime soon. You're a vital asset to our resistance, farfar, did you know that? Maybe you did, maybe you didn't"
"Back off! All I know is I wanna get out of here!"
"How touchy! Farfar! Fine. Have it your way and see what I do!" with a sigh and a shrug, the Miser returns his focus to the crowd. "Farfar! Be amazed! This thunderous striped heathen, my friends, is living proof of the claims I've suggested today! Perhaps you might recognize him if you go out a lot! This is....."
. . .
"Er. What did you say your name was again?"
"ELEXAS—!"
"—THIS IS ELEXAS! FARFAR! On the outside, he is a measly holeman. No better than a sanitary janitor, a man hired by city hall who labors for pennies a week, endlessly filling up the erratically manifesting holes of our town! ON THE INSIDE HOWEVER..."
"He is an agent with darker motives! One of the many turning cogs in a mechanism designed to cripple and exploit what remains of our population! Farfar! He's in deep affiliation with the Marrotonin!As is EVERY holeman!To that end, we've imprisoned him here for all to see—our grand finale tonight will be a torturous interrogation of monumental proportions! Farfar! And his forthcoming bona fide confessions and horror stories will expose, disclose, L E A K, and forever cement the Marrotonin as the charlatans they truly are! Then and only then, can we truly prosper!"
"Marro-/what/? Piss off, duck!"
"Oh, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! It is YOU who will be doing the pissing, hole-janitor! Farfar! Then again, maybe it's best that I ask the audience what you'll be doing."

>>24904073
The Leek Miser cups his ear and leans closer to the crowd. "Let me hear it, Mallartauds! Let me HEAR IT! Cry! Cheer! Shout! Yell! REPRESENT! Tell it to me, feathered friends! Farfar! Let me hear that enthusiasm!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7NMn100wxw
"Yeah, yeah! That's it! That's it! Tell us what we can do to SCOURGE this sparky mook into talking!"

Perhaps you laid that suggestion a little too boldly.
>>24904256
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rayoPyKFz3E
"F-F...Fuh....Fuh......FARFAR! What's this then? Funny! If I didn't know any better I'd say we have a few COMEDIANS in the audience tonight! GRIP! Can we get a spotlight shining on those two JOKAS over there?!"
>>24904349
"Psssssssssssssssst... Calem-sama.. Do you think they're talking about us?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BizVwRIKCic
Apparently so, because next thing you know, there's a bright light shining overhead and everyone's giving you and Midoro a real nasty look. Boy, you and that big fat mouth of yours right?
Wanting to play things cool, you raise your hands and smile cheekily at the Miser and his feathered men. "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!..... How's it um... H-How's it going chief?"
The traditionally-amused Leek Miser isn't looking so amused right now. He aims his leek in your direction and emits a caw. "Fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-FarFAR! My ears aren't deceiving me after all! A comedian indeed, and one I can't say I recognize! You've a lot of nerve speaking up for this finicky fink, rookie-cookie! Haven't you been paying attention to the program? Farfar! Here's some blunt day one wisdom, from Miser to mook: Loving thy enemy won't get you anywhere further than a grave in these parts. That's the law of Phil'erup, like it or not!"
"So was that a jest.. or were you advocating for something more?"
>What do you say next?
>>24905755"Yes."
>>24905771
This
>>24905755"I mean, come on, we have current year, how can we just cage this poor fella without any empathy? Where's the presumption of innocence? Why I hear only buzzwords from you, where are my proofs?"
>>24905755
Yes
>>24905755
Suppose you can wiggle your way out of this one with some smooth-talking. Like, it's worked before (though mostly whenever the wife's the one doing the talking), who's to say it can't work again here?
"I-I mean, come on guys, it's the C U R R E N T Y E A R, how can we just cage this poor fella without any sign of empathy? Where's the presumption of innocence? Why, I hear only buzzwords from you, where are my proofs?""Duuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh, of course you're hearin' buzzwordsbloke's got an Electabuzz on-stage he does!"
The Leek Miser snaps to stage left. "We could do without the side-comments Drill! Farfar!" he quacks, before returning his attention to the angry bird in the limelight. "And as for you! You're quite bold yourself, I should say! Accusing me of ever wanting to lead this flock astray with false suppositions! Listen here, farfar—my accusations aren't buzzwords and they're quite far from conjecture! Don't you know who I AM? Farfar! Do I need to sing the song again? I am the LEEK MISER! Everything I leak is sheer certitude!"
"And this mon.....?"
"This STRIPED....ELECTRICAL......ANTHROPOMORPHIC.....CAT......TIGER.....THING—""I'm a HORNED OGRE, you ass!"
>>24907215
"This little O-G-R-E has willingly lent his services to an operation hellbent on POISONING our people while nickel-and-diming us every step of the way! If there's any empathy to be had there, I'd certainly love it if you could point it out! Just look at him, farfar! His face may yearn for empathy for the common mon, but don't be fooled! Farfar! The brooding motives that drive his motor underneath the surface are quite darker than you and I could ever imagine! Give him an inch, he'll take more than just a mile, he'll take the entire kilometer and then maybe a hundred miles in addition! Thousands? Possibly! A HUNDRED THOUSAND? MAYBE. MILLIONS? IT COULD HAPPEN. BILLIONS?"
"Farfar!" the Miser turns to his men. "Does anyone here think he'd take a BILLION miles?"
He blinks twice as nearly the entire audience raises their wings.
"Farfar. I think I rest my case. It's a little too late in the game to start feeling sorry for people. TRUST IS AT A BUST! FARFAR!"
>What do you say next?
>>24907222
"A billion miles. Yeah. Sure. Big Bro etc etc. Without attorney even bamboo could be convicted. Shall we begin the trial or you all set up this party for a circle jerk?"We can acquire some long hard objects and start real orgy here. You know guys, distractions and stuff.
>>24907222
"A billion miles. Yeah. Sure. Big Bro etc etc." you agree with a shrug. "Buuuuut see, without an attorney, even bamboo could be convicted! Sooooo that said, shall we begin the trial or did you all set this party up to be a big circle jerk?"
"Farfar! Oh, no need to worry! There'll be a trial alright! But I think you'll be SURPRISED to find out who's the one getting convicted! FARFAR! Chaps, lock the doors! Grips—ACTIVATE THE MAGIC ANTHROPOMORPHIC CAGE!"
>>24907373
"H-Huh? Magic anthropomorphic ca—GAAAAAHHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?!?!"
The cage 'Elexas' is in begins to shake uncontrollably, growing wilder by the second. It quivers and shivers with madness, culminating in an absolutely feral acquisition of sentience.
"I STILL DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON!"
![1809_17_73-how-draw-legs-from-upper-perspective[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/AWCMelh.jpg "1809_17_73-how-draw-legs-from-upper-perspective[1].jpg")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iHka0R0X2U
"T-Th....THAT CAGE FUCKING GREW LEGS!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! I-IT EVEN HAS A BIG PACKAGE!"
"Indeed! FARFAR! LOOK AT IT! TECHNOLOGICAL PROWESS AT ITS FINEST! IT'S THE CAGEMEISTER MEISTERBURGER 5000!!! The cage has a mind of its own at the cost of losing its sense of sanity, its marbles you might say! FARFAR! IT KNOWS NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL, ALL IT KNOWS IS RAMPANT NONSENSICAL LUNACY! Look, look! WATCH AS IT DANCES! Left foot there, right foot there, do a little twist and bring it back home! I TAUGHT IT THAT DANCE! That's my footwork he's working! I CALL IT THE HOKEY ARTICHOKEY! Praise him! Ba ha ha ha ha HA HA!~"
"W-Wh--Wha—" you bust out of your seat and snap at the Miser. "You guys are fucking NUTS! This has escalated waaaaay too far! It's time to let that guy go!"
"Farfar! Why must you be so hardheaded! Why can't you pay attention to context?! Everyone else did and they're not complaining about measly ETHICS like you! The Leek Miser leaks the good word and still you have the spine to question the method to my madness! BA HA HA HA HA!~ Unshackling this Marrotonin?!—THAT'S AN IMPOSSIBILITY! Perhaps it's you that should be shackled!"
"Chaaaaatot! TOT TOT TOT!" the Miser's Chatot aide unexpectedly swoops in above you and Midoro. "Hey, Leek Miser! Look at this! These guys aren't even real birds!" he caws, right before swiping your masks. "See? THEIR BEAKS COME RIGHT OFF! Tot tot TOT!"
>>24907720
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! F-FARFAR! Y-You mean to tell me these morality-preaching COMICS are actually non-avian binary SPIES?!?!?!!? NOW MY FEATHERS ARE REALLY RUSTLED! WHO'S THE PUNK WHO LET THESE TWO IN TO BEGIN WITH!?!?!"
>>24907727
Dodrio proceeds to make a quick and subtle exit.

"Agggghhh.. Oh phooey, what difference does it make?!?!?! The entire assembly's been compromised by the enemy now! We can't continue like this, baby! It's either we wallop THEM or they wallop US! FarfarfarFAAAAR!.....fuh... My head's starting to hurt just computing all of this..."
>>24907761
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! You may have unmasked me, but the GREAT EXPLORER Midoro-sama's got you now, Mister Duckman! FOR PAAAAAAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
"M-Midoro! What the heck are you doing?!?!"
Sensing a viable opening, your mighty Chespin sidekick suddenly leaps out of his seat into the fray, attacking the Miser with the element of surprise.
>>24907786
"Ow ow ow ow ow OW!! S-Someone get this hyperactive hedgehog away from me! I may resist the damageBUT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I RESIST THE PAIN?!!?!?!?!"
>>24907803
"Ohhhhh...... oh geez....." you groan. "Why the hell does nothing ever go according to plan..?"
"'Scuse me, pardon me, 'scuse me, please! Out of the way! DAMMIT I SAID MOVE IT FATTY!"
You shuffle your way through the crowd to join your sidekick on the main stage. By the looks of it he's committed enough physical assault to go away for a long time.
"Ohhh boy."
A) "Midoro! Y-You're laying it into him too thick! Chill out!"
B) "OKAY OKAY, I ADMIT IT EVERYONE! WE'RE ""SPIES""! SATISFIED!?"
C) "H-Haha! P-Please excuse my friend here! He's level five and prone to acting on a whim!"
D) "W-Wait, wait, you have to look into his eyes before trying to challenge hi—it's too late for that..."
>>24908042
D. That's, like, adventurer rule #1.
>>24908042
C, there's still a way to get out of this by using diplomacy
>>24908042The tie was randomized.
There's still a chance this can all be fixed. There's still a chance bygones can be bygones. It's small as fuck but it's still there, you just need to work some of that official Calem™ razzle dazzle. To do that, you come to the Miser's aid and put a stop to the Vine Whip assault. Then with a bead of sweat rolling down your face, you make an appeal to the crowd.
"H-Haha! Pl-Please excuse my friend here, everyone! H-He's level five and prone to acting on a whim!"
"Ehhh?" Midoro retracts his vines and pouts. "The AMAZING Midoro-sama is Level Five THOUSAND! Try to get it right next time!"
"Fuh.... F-Fuuuuuhhhhh...." the Leek Miser mumbles and mutters as he lies in center stage, shaking with whip marks all over his body. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH—Faaaaaarrrrr!"
With a vengeful quack, the Miser gets up and points his leek at you and his assailant. "That's it! Farfar! I tried to be nice, I tried to be reasonable, I EVEN did the Hokey Artichokey! But I still couldn't breakthrough to you loonies! Now it's too late! I am so WAY beyond reasoning now! As if I'd ever bargain with a spy anyway!"
"FARFAR! YOU BETTER GET READY, BABY!"

The battle begins with the Leek Miser immediately summoning back-up squads from the audience. "MALLARTAUD ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA FLOCK! ASSEMMMMMBLE! The Miser needs your help PRONTO, baby! We've got some walloping to take care of!"
"What the heck is this supposed to be?" you ask, settling in with the task of a battle and the ineffectiveness of simply talking things through. "Don't tell me you're actually sending your legion of goons on us!"
"And HOW!" the Miser retorts. "Trust me when I say it's going to get a LOT worse!FOR YOU! FARFAR!"
A swarm of vicious, loyal henchbirds swoop in from the crowd and surround you. Things look pretty grim, but that's when Midoro tugs on your pant leg, trying to get your attention. "Dash those concerns, Calem-sama! Remember, you have the SUPERBLY EXEMPLARY MIDORO-SAMA fighting by your side! Mister Duckman can send an ultra-billion bunch of birdies at us and it won't matter one bit! We can attack together!"
"Good to know!" you tell him. "But uh, to be honest, I'm not really fit for physical combat! I *can* lend you a fight-buddy though!"
>What mon do you send out? (Midoro will help you!)
>>24908575
Dedenne. Cute mascot team is a go.
>>24908575
Dragalge
>>24908590

Dem Chain ThundersThis spell is twice effective than on basic level
>>24908575
"Come on out Dedenne, let's show these budgies a REAL performance!"
Midoro lets out a gasp of awe as Dedenne comes to your aid, having never seen a device like a pokeball before (that might be because humans and mons are equal in this world). "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! So cool Calem-sama! A triumphant summoning device from realms even the great Midoro-sama hasn't explored!"
"Ne ne!~"
Unfortunately, he's not the only one who takes notice to it. The Miser does too, and gets a sneaky idea upon doing so. "Farfar! I don't like the looks of this! BETA FLOCK! RETRIEVE THOSE ENSLAVEMENT BALLS! MISER'S ORDERS!"
"Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidgey!"
"Huh?! Wh-What the.. Back off! Back o-AAAAAAAAUUUGGHHH! MY EYES!Talk about a 'pecking order'!"
Before you know it, an army of Pidgeys swarm around you, pecking at your relentlessly until you're stunned enough to let your guard down. That's when they rob you blind.
>Stole Greninja!
>Stole Dragalge!
>Stole Luchy!
>Stole Trevenant!
>Stole Noivern!
>Stole Odie!
"D-D...DID YOU JUST—?!"
"Farfar! Now the stakes are REALLY set!" the Miser cackles as the stolen balls are dropped into his possession by the returning Pidgey flock. "I've heard about these slave machines only in fairy tales before! Scary to know that they really exist. I wonder if you're quick enough to get them back! Farfar! Take too long...and I might just skedaddle!"

"Farfar... While the rookies busy themselves—I need a pick-me-up like no tomorrow! Supernatural congregating powers, do your stuff! FARFAR!"
>Leek Miser used Roost!
>Leek Miser sacrificed Flying-type for this turn!
>Leek Miser recovered HP!
"That hits the spot! Farfar! BETA FLOCK! All-out Wing Attack, on the double!"
In vapid response, Midoro huffs and flails his dumpy little arms in his direction. "Waaaah! No fair! Look at him, Calem-sama! He stole your magic summoning balls, put a time limit on us, and now he's going to try to make a full recovery! Hmph, it's like the STRATEGICALLY ADEPT Midoro-sama Vine Whipped him for nothin'!"
"All the more reason to trounce his flunkies until he's got none left to send, right? Then we can really bop him a new one!" you suggest. "Listen, you're still a newbie but I've done this song and dance more times than I can count. Aside from that.. 'minor inconvenience', it's nothing I haven't tackled before. Just keep a cool head and a clear mind and you'll be a dandy Randy! And try to keep up with my Dedenne too! He's small and cute but I guarantee he's the more experienced one here. Follow his lead and never let up!"
The little hamster turns to his new battling buddy and waves. "Den ne ne!~"
"O-Okay, I'll try!" Midoro chimes with a little hop. "You can count on the great Midoro-sama!!"
>Thunderbolt locked!

>>24910059
"Pidge!"
"Pidge!"
"Pidge!"
"PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE!!"
Cawing in-sync, the Pidgey flock descends from above with their targets locked. Listening to the Miser's cue, they each use Wing Attack, essentially turning themselves into homing bird missiles. "Dedenne! Midoro! HEADS UP! Rabid Pidgey squad at twelve 'o clock! Dedenne, I want you to Thunderbolt as many as you can!"
"Kush-kush, kush-kush~" Dedenne nods and wiggles his whiskers, too inherently optimistic to show any signs of worry on his part. The same can't be said for Midoro though, who fidgets while alternating between his partner and the enemy. "U-Uh, um!... Er...."
>'He's hesitating... I was probably right in assuming this is the first big battle he's ever really taken part in.. Talks the talk but freezes up when put in harm's way..'
"Midoro!" you call to him. "You have to counterattack or you'll get whomped!"
"F-Foolish Calem-sama, I-I knew that!" he retorts, only to fidget some more. "I-I'm just thinking about what to do!"
>'I'll just have to push him in the right direction then!'
"There's no use hiding it, great explorer! Don't let battle anxiety get the better of you in a fight, you can't afford to be apprehensive when danger's on the opposite side of the field! I learned that the hard way! You've gotta learn how to defend yourself,because theatrics isn't enough for the real world!"
"Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidgeeeee!"
Midoro steps back and rubs his cheeks, still a little uneasy, but your words empower him enough to suck it up and face the enemy with the dramatic nuances of his skits. "R-Right! C-Can't stay tense, h-have to put on confidence—ALRIGHT EVILDOERS, COME AT ME! THE GREAT MIDORO-SAMA'S SQUIRMS NO LONGER!! HIIIIIIIII-YAA!"

>Midoro used Flash!
>The flock's accuracy was lowered!
"P-Pidge?!?!?"
"Piiidgeee!"
"Pipipipipipipiiiidge!"
Midoro leaps forward and casts a bright burst of light on the Beta Flock, creatively blinding them and canceling them out of their Wing Attack barrage. The tiny birds are left dazed and disoriented, flapping in place with stars in their eyes. "Piiiiiidgey..."
"E-Eh!? F-Farfar! What's this?!?!" the Miser cries. "Tactics like that should be ILLEGAL! FARFAR!"
"Your little bird patrol may outnumber us," you begin. "but they're all weaker than wet toilet paper! Be it one or a thousand, a state-wide storm is still enough to take care of them! Speaking of, Dedenne, we could use that Thunderbolt now."
"Ne ne ne!~"
![tumblr_m9ni3n5gWi1r7guhqo1_500[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/vcIFdpI.gif "tumblr_m9ni3n5gWi1r7guhqo1_500[1].gif")
>>24911132
If Midoro still has any doubts about cutesy Dedenne's offensive prowess, they're immediately trashed after seeing him clean house with an onslaught of Thunderbolts on the stunned flock. "De.........DENNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"P-Piiiiiiiiii!"
>Pidgey fainted!
>Pidgey fainted!
>Pidgey fain—shit you eviscerated the entire flock!
"Ahhhh!!! So cool! Do you think I'll grow up to be that strong one day?!"
The Leek Miser jumps, startled by the rampage, but quickly overcomes it. "F-Farfar.. Lucky break! THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM! Gamma Flock! Take their place! Farfar!"
"Geoooottooooooo!"
The battle's far from over. As the Pidgeys hit the stage floor, they're almost seamlessly replaced by the next feathered battalion—a troop of six Pidgeottos. Though their numbers aren't as plentiful as the last squad, it's entirely made up for in their stats.
"Farfar! That's more like it! GAMMA FLOCK! AIR SLASH ASSAULT!"

"I'll have a nasty surprise waiting for you! FARFAR!"
"Pidgeoooo!"
"Geoottopipi!"
"Geooooottoooooooooooo!"
The Gamma Flock isn't as paper thin dinky as their predecessors, and it shows. They waste no time in executing the Miser's commands and slice a hazardous bombardment of Air Slashes at your cute mascot duo. "Midoro! You've got company!"
"H-Huh?!" Midoro flinches at the sight of the blades targeting him (isn't the flinch supposed to kick in /after/ he gets hit?). A super-effective salvo like that could be enough to eliminate him. The hedgehog can't bring himself to dodge in time, forcing Dedenne to step in.
"GEOTTOOO!"
"Ne ne—DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" your ham-ham voluntarily takes the fall for Midoro, resisting the sharp cuts with slight pain. "N-Ne...ne!" he shakes it off and remains competent.
Midoro swallows a hard lump. "S-Sorry about that.. The great Midoro-sama guesses he still needs dodge practice.. I-I'll make it up to you though! Watch this! Here I go!"

Midoro shuffles around the contents of his belongings for something that can help tip the scales, and ultimately settles with offering his special shiny smooth rock collection. "This is gonna hurt a bit, but oh well... Special um.. rock.. tossing attack!"
>Midoro used Smack Down!
"G-Geooooooooo!"
"P-Piiiiiiiiiigeooo!"
>Pidgeotto fainted!
>Pidgeotto fainted!
The element of surprise (and absurdity—he's literally KO'ing birds with stones) nets Midoro two easy revenge kills. The smoothness of the rock and its gravity attributes drag the Gamma birds down until they're kissing the ground.
"GEOOOOOTTOOOOO!" the remaining birds aren't as moronic however, and quickly learn to adapt to Midoro's otherwise tepid throwing skills. "Awwh! Come on! Stay still! Your friends did! The HIGHLY CRITICAL Midoro-sama is trying to boo your BLEH performance! Let me throw things at you!"
"Geottoo!"
"Th-This isn't some carnival game, this is life or death! Why are you all moving erratically!?"
This sounds like a call for improv.

>>24912385
Always one to lend a hand, Dedenne scuttles up to Midoro and wags his tail. "Ne ne ne!"
"Huh? What are you suggesting?"
"Den ne ne ne!"
"Toss the stones at you and then... Oh! Okie dokie!"
A plan devised, the two proceed to clear out to get some good distance between each other. Midoro readies his throwing arm while Dedenne practices tail wagging. "The SUPERB Midoro-sama is all set on his end! What about you?"
"Den den den!"
"Then get ready, 'cause here it comes! BAAAAAAAAAAATTER UP!" Midoro slings stone after stone across the stage, pitching them to his ally. Expressing caution and precision, Dedenne preps his now-glowing, hard-as-steel tail and waits for just the right moment to—
"NE!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i4T6nRPC1Q
>Dedenne used Iron Tail!
—ricochet them at the enemy at breakneck, unavoidable speeds. Dedenne sends the rocks soaring and one by one, watches as they extinguish the remaining birds. "P-Piiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
>Pidgeotto fainted!
>Pidgeotto fainted!
>Pidgeotto fainted!
>Gamma Flock cleared out!
"Alright!" Midoro cheers. "I can't believe that actually worked!"
"Ne ne ne!~"
>>24912516
The Leek Miser gasps as his budgie brethren abruptly hit the ground with nary a health point to spare. "F-Farfar! HOW ON EARTH DOES THAT WORK!?!?! Gaaahh! No matter, I can still call in reinforcements! Farfar! SIGMA, DELTA, OMEGA FLOCK!" he whistles. "JOIN ALPHA IN STANDBY, BABY!"
The remaining members of the audience take to the skies and join the Miser on-stage, adding to the kill list you'll very likely amass once this is all said and done. "Farfar, that's more like it! Now I can actually feel safe! Sigma Flock, move in! I want these rookies kept busy!"
Indeed, the Sigma 'Flock'' follows the Miser's protocol, but to his shock, the flock isn't as big as he had hoped it was going to be.

"Stunning helped before," you note. "It should be able to work again. Dedenne, I want you to Nuzzle. Midoro, support him!"
"Uh, okay! Let's see.. Oh, the GREAT Midoro-sama can do this!"
>Midoro used Helping Hand!
>Midoro is ready to help Dedenne!
"DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODOOOOOOOOOOOO!" boosted by the turbulent Tailwind, the lone Doduo charges across the stage like a suicide bomber, its beaks revved up and ready for drilling.
"DO!"
"DO!"
"DO!"
"DODUOOOOOO!"
The Doduo stabs its beaks rampantly throughout the stage, playing rushdown with your mascots at the cost of tearing up the floor. They're quick enough to dodge the strikes, but the Doduo is relentless and refuses to chill out. In the ensuing rampage, it manages to corner Midoro. "DOOODOOOO!"
"G-Gah! Th-The GREAT Midoro-sama is just support this round! I-I'm not looking for a fight!"
"Ne ne NEEEE!"
>Dedenne used Nuzzle!
>The opposing Doduo is paralyzed!
>The opposing Doduo used Drill Peck!
>The opposing Doduo is paralyzed and unable to move!
"D-Dooooduuu......"
Dedenne comes to Midoro's aid (again) just in time to electrocute the raging ostrich with a powered-up Nuzzle. Though the paralysis settles in, it's not enough to KO the two-headed beast. The turn ends with the bird immobile.

"Doooodoooo...."
"Oh. Right. Farfar.I don't.STILL DON'T JUST STAND THERE!"
>The opposing Doduo used Thrash!
>The opposing Doduo is paralyzed and unable to move!
The Doduo's attempts to move are futile, essentially giving your side a free turn, and DAMN are you gonna use that shit. "Dedenne, this is as good a time as any! You need to recover from those Air Slashes earlier, so use Parabolic Charge!"
"Den den dedene!" the ham-ham furrows his whiskers before unleashing a charge of parasitic electricity around him, attacking everything in his vicinity, /including/ his explorer of an ally.
"DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNN!"
"A-Aaah! Ow ow! WATCH IT!" Midoro cries.
"D-Doooooooo!"
>Dedenne used Parabolic Charge!
>Dedenne recovered HP!
>The opposing Doduo fainted!
>Sigma Flock cleared out!
"D-Do!....dododoooo..." the force of the shock stiffens the ostrich straight for a moment, only for it to loosen and fall flat on the floor, defeated. This of course, comes as great frustration to the Leek Miser.
"Farfar.... Again?.... Bahhhh.. I had low hopes for him anyway! Delta Flock, assume position! I won't make this a walk in the park for them if it's the last thing I do!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Yeah, honey! This might just be my most favorite flock of 'em all! Listen to that BEAT, farfar! I taught them that! IT'S THE HOKEY ARTICHOKEY DELUXE: DUCK AMUCK EDITION! It's so fantastic, it makes me just want to!"
>Leek Miser used Agility!

"Yeah! Farfar! Something like that! Now as for you guys, you two engage the enemy with Water Pulse! The third one, I don't care what you do, you might as well be dead weight. A Zen Headbutt maybe? Farfar! That might impress me!"

>>24913629
"Psyyyduck!~"
"Psyyyyyyyyduuuuuuck!~"
"Pssssyyyyyyyy aye aye....."
Boosted by the still-prevalent Tailwind, the Psyduck troupe seizes the chance to move first. The two breadwinner mallards begin with a synchronized dual Water Pulse, while the third lags behind and contemplates all of its life decisions before going ahead with Zen Headbutt.
"PSSSSSSSSYYYYYY"
"DUCK!"
"De nene!"
Dedenne sidesteps the pulse targeting him and awaits his next order, but Midoro is too immersed in type advantages to follow suit. With his chest puffed out, he stands tall and accepts the watery blast to the face. Not that it harms him much.
>It's not very effective..
"Chehehe!" he giggles. "I told you! I told you! See? See! What did I say!? Your attacks have little effect on the SPECTACULARLY RESISTANT MIDORO-SAMA!! Chehehe! I needed that refreshing rinse too, now I feel revitalized!" he cheers, hyperactive vines slipping out of his chestnut helmet. "Now prepare for a /real rival rousing/!"
>'He's getting that haughty air around him again.'
"Dedenne!" you call to your ham-ham. "Ducks can't dance if they're all tied up, so trip the one coming over! And Midoro—"
"VINE WHIP VINE WHIP VINE WHIP VINE WHIP!!! Look Calem-sama, I'm making them dance by whipping the ground beneath 'em!!"
"P-Psy psy pssssyyyy!"
"Uh... Yeah.. That works too.."
>>24915283
"Psssssssssyyyyyyyy!"
With a glowing cranium full of a hazy thoughts and hot air, the third Psyduck rushes at Dedenne with Zen Headbutt, but his running is wobbly and off-pace (par for the course for the runt of the litter really). These ducks can drop some beats but they're not exactly the finest when it comes to exerting physical strength literally anywhere else. This is a moment that's ripe for sabotage, and Dedenne swipes the chance to do it.
"Dennne ne ne!" the ham-ham swipes a blade of grass from his personal hammerspace and bolts to meet up with the Psyduck (who's pretty much charging blindly and hoping he hits something beyond himself). "Psy aye aye aye aye!"
The duck's lack of self-supervision proves to be his ultimate undoing. Dedenne intricately snares his wobbly legs with Grass Knot and trips him as if he were a giant. "Pssssssssssssssssyyyyyyyy!" emitting a quack of surprise, the duck hits the ground and eats a KO.
>Psyduck fainted!
"Nenene~"
As for the other two Psyducks..
"VINE WHIP VINE WHIP VINE WHIP VINE WHIP VINE WHIP VINE WHIP!! Chehehehehehe! I think this is my most favorite move of all! I get so in the zone when I do this, I think even Papa would be proud! Dance, duckies, dance! DANCE FOR THE GREAT EXPLORER!!"
>Psyduck fainted!

"Oh damn! I wasn't anticipating him to be one for boosting.. Dedenne, you've still got your berry hoard right? Hell, who am I kidding, of course you do! Snatch out a Belue Berry and let's get rid of this guy as quick as possible! I hate the idea of glass cannons!"
"Ne ne ne!"
"Yeah! The INCREDIBLY INSIGHTFUL Midoro-sama shares these sentiments! Glass cannons are a poisonous pox on this world.. unless they're literal glass cannons held at the end of a treacherous dungeon! I'll help you again, hammyman!"
>Midoro used Helping Hand!
>Midoro is ready to help Dedenne!
Boosted by Midoro's cheering, Dedenne retrieves a vintage Belue Berry from his vast wealth of fruits stored within his cheeks (it's like a hobby to him, imagine the berries are a metaphor for wine, it's that important to him, if the berry exists, your ham-ham most likely has it in storage).
"Den nom nom nom~"
>Dedenne used Natural Gift!
>Consumed the Belue Berry!
"NeneneneneneneneneneneneNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
A shockingly delicious taste sparks Dedenne's taste buds, culminating in an electrical blast that shoots out of his mouth and strikes Chatot down.
"T-Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!!"

Chatot hits the floor like a rock, sparks running through every bit of his twitching, aching body. "T-Tot.....t-tot....cha...." he weakly caws. "S-Should have expected......that..........."
But miraculously, he doesn't faint.
"Still........."
The parrot manages to pull himself together, a little dazed but not KO'd. It's then that you notice something clutched tightly in his wing.>The opposing Chatot hung on using its Focus Sash!"WORTH.... IT!....tot.....always....keep one....handy...."
"TAILWIND!" he squawks, as if making a plea to a higher being. "D-Don't...peter.....me.......now........"

A. #Conservetheturns
>>24916409
So if we choose B, does Midoro not get to do anything?
>>24916517
He'll use Protect too(did you want him to get hit and have only hamham protect or something? you monster).That's why the turn is consumed.
>>24916534
Why not have him use protect and us attack?
>>24916551
+2 STAB Boomburst from the strongest Boomburster in the game would probably wipe the both of them. Hell, it'd probably be a critical hit, too.
And Tailwind doesn't end until this turn does, so Chatot'd hit first.
>he doesn't know about critical dodging
>>24916563
Man that Eerie Impulse earlier is looking pretty sweet right about now.
>>24916534I was actually thinking that hamham act as bait while Midoro launches a surprise attack, but in hindsight it probably wouldn't have worked anyways
