"Man, this doesn't feel right." Oz sighs, looking up to see the unevolved form of his favourite Pokémon dancing happily up in the branches. Well, only about two of them still dance happily by this point, given all the attacks and all...
Man, he'd kill for one of those.
But, alas, in this tree birds are the enemy.
<'Wah, I wanna dance too.'>
"I know, bud." It's in the name, right? Tangerine Tango hops by his side, and Oz crosses his arms. Still, right there, if only for a second, he smiles just so slightly. "Give them your best, Tango."
Commas are important. Tango's best, or Tango's best tango? Regardless, the answer is a jumping Flame Charge towards the branches, as if he were a rocket and not a little Torchic.

Was Jinx a good dancer? Not really.
Did Jinx know how to dance well? Questionable at best.
Was Jinx going to let that stop her? Absolutely not.
Jinx bobbed and swayed her way through the tower, nodding her head and wiggling her arms whenever it felt right. The Horde, for their part, were following suit in their own way, each member of the Falinks doing an odd dance move here and there, though always in perfect unison. They had to get some kind of extra credit for that synchronization, right?
Well, no, that's not how that worked. Wishful thinking, perhaps.
But how it actually worked wasnt' too hard for Jinx, either...
"Hit 'em with an Iron Head!"
The Horde went from spinning their shields to each bowing their head and ramming headfirst into the nearest worm. Jinx winced a little as Abigail hit her mark; that looked like it had to hurt.
Not her problem, though. All she had to do was keep fulfilling the prompts... and dancing. Dancing was important, too.

Tower of Worms Floor 4: Men at Worm
The next floor is UNDER CONSTRUCTION! In an effort to slow your progress 10 Pidgey workers have strung construction tape from the trees, and hung traffic cones and no through signs from the branches!
Clearly there is no way to progress. You should probably find another route.
You have defeated 10 Pidgey and unlocked Orthworm (U)! The next reward will be unlocked at 40 Pidgey.

Now, as someone who lives in a city, Cypress was familiar with the struggles of construction, making your way somewhere, and having to make an entirely different routes on the fly. But that was with roads.
Construction? In a tree?
That felt way different than any sort of commute she ever went on, and if anything, the wolf woman wasn't really sure how to feel about this. But, she was marked as a 'hard-working' employee however, and hard-working means no visible annoyance or inner turmoil. This Was Fine. She felt all right.
Paprika sure knew what he felt about this though - looking at one of the birds trying to set up a No Through sign on a nearby branch and glaring at them with an almost fiery intensity.
Houndour used Leer!
With a startled chirp, the Pidgey would move its attention away from the sign, trying to get away from the dual typed canine - before smacking itself into a nearby traffic cone.
Cypress watched this occur, expression lighting up in a smile, motioning to the hound. "Come on, Paprika - let's see if this way gets us anywhere." <"You got it, ma'am.">

Construction? Rose just stood there, confused. How was she supposed to keep going! She had someone to meet! She had to meet the Great Worm! Her wormy egg needed to see him! She had hoped that being in the Worm Tree would help it feel comfortable enough to hatch. She held the egg in her hands, her beetle wings fluttering sadly. "Stupid birds! How am I supposed to get through now?"
"Just walk through." Said her Seedot, standing beside her as he stared past the contstruction zone.
"What?" Rose began, looking at the little seed Pokemon incredulously. "Isn't that illegal?"
"What? F___ no it isn't," Replied the seed, the swear censoring itself with a loud beep thanks to Rose's censor filters. "These birds are the one being illegal. You got a god d___ job to do, and I ain't fond of birds either."
"Uh, if you're sure!"
"Of course I am! The Seedot's shadow slowly grew as his aggressive aura became tangible with the move Astonish. An evil look in his eyes. The pair walked through the construction zone as Pidgeys watched stunned, unable to stop them. Any that dared draw too close was immediately glared at and shied away in fear. Prompt 32.

With the last floor cleared, it was time to move onto the next. However upon entering, Wolf was lost for words. She blinked, pale golden orbs flickered over the bright yellow construction tape hanging from branch to branch. Equally bright traffic cones dangling from a few, pidgey’s snickering in the back round. “Really?... Is that the best you can do?”
Reaching into her pockets, the hybrid summoned her next pokemon. The marshtomp materialized within seconds, a smile on his face as always. “Hey Jethro,” Wolf mumbled, arms folded over her chest as she eyed the mess before her, “Think you can make a path through for us.” “Sure,” he replied within a heartbeat, waddled up front of her. His passive gaze looked over the mess before him. A smile still on his face. Then, he took in a deep breath. Checks swelled. A minute later, the marshtomps mouth opened wide. A powerful stream of water poured out of his mouth, creating a massive SURF of water to flood out anything and everything in their path.

Worm Tower? Okay so Selena found some weird prompt based game with her Sprigatito, Jane Hopper. Apparently it was a tower that awarded Pokémon every 10 prompts completed? She entered with her cat, and immediately got to work. "Jane! Hone claws and then Seed Bomb!" The Sprigatito raised her attack stat before firing off a seed bomb which knocked out a few of the opposing Pokémon. She soon looked to the others in the tower. She didn't know who they were but she really could care less. Jane was excited- "YAY A CHALLENGE!" That silly Sprigatito. NEXT PROMPT (34): [Tower] dGXCMnsj1-501-50

Construction, construction...Cypress couldn't help but give a small huff, batting away construction tape that threatened to get in the way of her travels, and in the way of Paprika's travels as the Dark Pokemon kicked away stray traffic cones. Why were there so many cones.
<"Madame. Are you sure we are going in the right direction?"> "I'm sure, Paprika - we just gotta..."
But the wolf-hybrid's words died in her throat as she came to a sudden stop.
There.
Right in front of the trainer and her Pokemon.
Was a construction blockade.
And they had come so far too.
With a sigh, Cypress turned back to the canine, who appeared quite shocked at the notice. "Sorry, Paprika...Guess we're going to have to-"
A angry growl escaped the Houndour before his maw was covered with dark energy, snapping at the Pidgey snickering on the side of the blockade before snapping at the blockade, breaking it in two - revealing a safe passageway.
Houndour used Bite!
<"There. It's open. Safe to cross, madame.">
With a startled double blink, Cypress would respond with a "Ah - thanks, Paprika." And so, they continued on their way.

Man, what Oz would give to catch one of those Pidgey. They're so cute and Mega Pidgeot is just so fucking cool. One of his favourite Pokémon by far, but sadly for him, these Pidgey are construction workers and not up for grabs.
Why must his life be so damn hard?
Oh, well... You win some, you lose some. The time for him to have a Pidgey will come eventually, but for now...
"'Right, Tango, you know what to do. You better show them that you're the cooler bird here, eh?"
The Torchic needs no more encouragement than that. On stubby yet surprisingly quick little legs, he gets a running start, fire beginning to spark upon every feather until it envelops the small body of the chick Pokémon. The nearest Pidgey is chosen as target for this FLAME CHARGE, but just as the fiery collision is about to occur, the Pidgey takes flight, and Tango can do nothing but continue to run.
"Did you—...Bro, did you just miss? The fuck? I thought moves couldn't miss in this one?"
Someone else might be annoyed in his place, but this is Oz we're talking about here, and true to his Oz nature, he can't help but laugh even if it's much to Tango's displeasure. It's just too damn funny. How the fuck had that happened?!
Torchic missed!

Better late than never, right?
He had a knack for ending up in places he really ought not to be, and he wasn't about to stop now. Or in this case, trailing after the sounds of furious, ferocious pidgey and the trainers trying to clear them out before they decimated the local bug population.
In his defense, he hadn't intended to go up the tree- but Pidove had been drawn in by the raucous sound. But whatever his reservations, Pidove had swept off his shoulder, matnled with rage. <These cretins think they can just go wherever they want!> The pidove had cooed, fluttering up, into the branches. Alistair had no choice but to follow, trying to keep up with the little bird as she navigated through the tree with ease he couldn't match.
He lost sight of her as he came to an odd patch- more pidgey, but they seemed rather busy- with... construction? It was a tree, what was there to construct?
"Pidove-" he started, trying to peer through the hanging caution tape and branches to find a clear path forward, grimacing as he came face-to-beak with one of the perpetrators-
but only for a second.
Pidove exploded from some higher bough in a surprising burst of viciousness and speed. Tan and silver feathers scattered everywhere.<How dare you! The likes of you even thinking about attacking my trainer. Peasant. Beast!>"

Silvermoon stretched, looking around the familiar floor of the Tree of Worms. The construction things were… different… but that was fine. They probably had to rebuild a lot with all the birds…
Speaking of, a pidgey exploded from the branches, escaping a spat of murder from a smaller, but much angrier, pidove. He veered, instead winging towards Kintsugi.
“Ah-” Silvermoon said, not especially surprised, or even worried. Kintsugi himself hardly seemed to shift, instead just lunging forward to slam into to the bird.
kintsugi used iron head!

"One second," said Morgana, planted in front of the sea of Caution Tape and orange traffic cones. She was scrolling through the inventory. "I'm sure I have a second-stage Pokemon somewhere. Surely." Surely. Surely her habit of running Piplup and Mudkip would not come around to bite her. Surely her own hubris would not rear its head now, when she'd only just arrived to the knockoff Tree of Worms.
It turned out she had nothing to worry about. "Gyarados!" she uttered, tossing her hair in relief, and sent out the giant purple worm. It undulated over the construction barrier, causing the Pidgey in construction hats to squawk in dismay and wing after it. "Rainbow, use... well, I suppose you don't have to do anything, really."
<Seriously?> roared the serpent, coiling its massive body to avoid pecking beaks and jabbing talons. <Why am I here?>
"Moral support? Or as a distraction, I suppose. Look!" There was a helpful ping as the UI showed a new Tower Prompt. "Keep doing what you're doing!"
<This is a work zone!> yelled one of the Pidgey, shoving a clipboard with work orders in Rainbow's face. The Gyarados swam forward, cramming the entire Pidgey into its cavernous mouth, and shot out the other side of the tree to deposit it as far away from the floor as possible.
