Blackthorne looked, aw-struck, up at the dogs that guarded the park. They were desperate for balls… And, maybe, he could do something to help.
He stepped into the park, and it was chaos- voltorb sparking and flashing, and- and being thrown at other players. Blackthorne sighed gently. Couldn’t people… get along? Work cooperatively? Be nice?
Hopefully he could… help Zacian and Zamazenta, and also prevent any future chaos. “Use absorb- between them!” He called, the zubat fluttering and flapping between Kazuki and Muin, absorbing energy from one of the voltorb.

Despite all their efforts, it would seem that the legendary dogs weren’t happy with the balls they have provided. In fact, it was the shield pokemon zamazenta that chased the jigglypuffs until they began to float away like wondering driftloons. That’s… unfortunate.
In the distance, the common two toned sphere of voltorb rolling about in a furry caught her eye. A brow rose, eyeing the Zacian suspiciously when it asked for a more solid ball. “Well… will exploding balls work for ya?”
Without hesitation, maybe of the fellow players darted to take down the self destructing sphere. Wolf had a bad feeling about this. After all, voltorb were well known for self sacrificing. Sighing to herself, the half wolf and half woman recalled her creature only to summon another. Within a second and a brilliant flash of a light, her baby serpent materialized. “Let’s keep out distance, just in case. Mix them up.”
The long worm like dragon nodded, tail twirled and twirled and twirled. Soon, the clouds above her began to become ominous and wind picked up. A vortex was formed, the dratini sending the whipping TWISTER towards the voltorb. “INCOMING!”

Oh, this was not a favorable match up.
Jinyu was really here mostly out of curiosity since he already checked out the other tower, also because this wasn't named a tower but a park. A park full of dogs. Well, that was his understanding, but it turned out it was full of things that dogs like, which were...balls. Lots of 'em. It was pretty hilarious, save for the fact that he only had Magikarp, and the next prompts were asking for them to chase after Voltorbs. He knew their wily, self-destructive ways, and he definitely didn't want to risk sending his Magikarp out there to try to fetch one (they would only be able to do so by whacking it with their tails). Thus, he figured that the only way to accomplish this was to do it himself, as he figured that he was not weak to Electric. Right? (ignore that this scientist forgot that people were weak to generally anything).
But he wasn't so silly as to charge in there barehanded, especially since the prompt required him to use his Pokemon somehow. He then got a flash of brilliance as he pulled out his Pokeball to send out his newest friend: ❝Miss Goldie! Can you buff me up with that nifty move of yours?❞
The Magikarp was at first very happy to oblige, only to suddenly have a look of concern. She let out a few cries in succession, which anyone can more or less deduce as, <Wait why?>
❝I need some extra protection if I'm gonna grab those balls!❞
Looking rather nervous at what her trainer was going to do, she quickly relented as she figured that he had thought this through (he didn't). Raising her fins, she began to glow in prismatic colors before Jinyu saw the same aura surround him. He wasn't sure if he could really feel something different or if it was just placebo, but he thanked Miss Goldie, told her to stay far away from those rolling two-toned balls, and happily ran up to another one to bring to the legendary doggos.

Ding ding ding! 10 Jigglypuff have been collected.
"Cool! Pika-RETURN!" Yggy recalled her Pikachu and jogged outside the gate just in time to see a whole cascade of jigglypuff go flying like balls in a McDonalds playpit. Was Kenny actually old enough to remember those? Who could say! "Aw maaaan! All the Jigglypuffs!"
She made a token attempt to chase after them for Zacian and Zamazenta, using her Aviator powers to double-jump up onto the air and make a grab for the nearest pink ball, but there was no hope. "Dang! I guess we have to find something else." Even if they did get the Jigglypuff back, they'd just fly off again.
The tomboy trotted back into the dog park, jaw dropping when she recognized the Voltorb. This seems dangerous, she thought, then, Oh well! It's probably fine. Haha.
"Chain Chomp, let's gooooo!"
The Galarian Meowth appeared in a flash, jagged teeth bared in a grin. "Fake Out, then we'll grab it while it's flinching!" Yggy called in a (surprisingly tactical?) maneuver. The bobtail lunged forward, clapping both paws together in the Voltorb's face. A shock wave rippled out from the impact and Yggy grabbed the orb as fast as she could, legging it back towards the gate. "I got one! I got one!" NEXT PROMPT (18): [Tower] 5d4NjBL71-501-50

Morpheus has only been one Tower Challenge before, but never the second. This time, he was tasked by strange, but familiar two large dog Pokemon to find some "ball" Pokemon. A weird quest of sorts, but he accepted it regardless. However, when he turned to see the ball in question, his jaws dropped to see that was actually Voltorb.
"You're expecting me to catch all of that?!" He muttered in shock. Then he sighed as he scratched the back of his head. "Fine. Let's get this over with. Yukina, you're up!"
He tossed the Poke Ball and released his Glaceon. She noticed the Voltorb rolling around and frowned. "Are you expecting me to catch all of that?" She muttered.
"Not every Voltorb. Just use Icy Wind for now."
His Glaceon sighed. But she relented to his request as she released a cold air from her mouth, intending to stop some Voltorbs in their tracks before they could explode. NEXT PROMPT (19): [Tower]9eFE_3f91-50 1-50

There was something truly freeing, starting from scratch — mostly because it meant they weren’t being hunted for sport. REN simply strolled into the Challenge Towers, receiving no snipers, no random PK attempts, and no insta-kicks.
Plus, their hunch was correct, and the NA players had no fucking clue what they were doing. Like watching a room of first graders learn a Fornite dance — it was slow, cringey, and violent. On their home server, towers rarely lasted, with guilds and groups coordinating at frightening efficiencies to basically curb stomp the final level armed with nothing but dunsparce, underwear armor, and spreadsheets.
Here, people splintered off to chase Jigglypuffs, sending them flying in homeruns or a hundred miles off the gate, lobbing fish at Voltorb and not-so-subtly trying to kill each other. Balls were flying everywhere instead of stacked like Connect Fours.
“Good shit,” REN cackled, words crackling through their digital voice box. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
They snapped their mechanical fingers, pointing to the exploding volleyball tourney. “Pingu, babes! Nyootralize ‘em!” Their new bestie and current sole ride-or-die, Pingu the Piplup, slammed onto center-stage complete with his own Smash Bros. title card. Pingu did not possess the means of neutralizing anything except baby powder at this point, but that would not stop a piplup from doling out an execution.
He spat a large volley of WATER GUN at the field, right as a Voltorb collides and detonates, electric sparks catching the puddles and serving up deep-fried pork.
“REN!” The scream of fury ripped through the ruined field, as REN laughed and plucked beautiful Pingu off the ground before escaping death by skedaddling to the next ball game.

Everyone loves a good dog and every sure as hell loves some cool as fuck legendary wolf Pokémon. I mean, Zacian? Oz's inner Souls fan is giddy at what to him is an obvious Sif reference, even when he's supposed to be doing a purely bird run here — which is turning into more of a purely Flying and Electric run by the minute.
Speaking of...
Electrike? He sure as hell would love to get himself one of those good sparky boys, and so he's here at the Park of Dogs. The problem, though? Well.. That lies in the pop up that appears the moment he steps through the challenge tower's doors.
Use a single stage Pokémon. Oz sighs deeply.
"Alright, sure, but that's kinda overkill... size-wise and all." He muses, a slight smirk of mischief forming at his lips when he reaches for a Pokéball to call out the only single stage Pokémon currently in his possession.
Celesteela.
The whole 30 ft, thousand kilos of her. Needless to say, Montana Black sure takes up space, and how in the hell is she going to catch Voltorb anyway? Intimidating them into stillness might be a good strategy, but dear Oz has other plans.
"Yo! Montana! I know we have some communication issues here, but how about we drain some of those batteries? You got this, girl."
Absorb should do the trick, right?

FLOOR 3: TAROUNTULABALL "Another great gift," says Zacian, ears pricked in excitement. A shudder of static runs through her fur as the Voltorb roll past her.
Zamazenta's attention snaps to the red and white spheres, and he leaps at one as it passes. He chases it out of the gate and once the grass. "Ball! Ball!" he barks, wrestling with it and trying to clamp the hard surface in his jaws.
The Voltorb blows up in his face.
"Ball?" Zamazenta asks, mouth full of soot.
The rest of the Voltorb roll into a corner, and Zamazenta faces them in a wary standoff, like a sheep dog whose sheep might explode at any moment.
"It appears that these balls are too dangerous. They resist play," Zacian says, as a chain reaction of Voltorb explosions rocks the front gate. "Perhaps something less volatile?"
A group of Tarountula roll around on the other side of the fence, leaving trails of sticky thread in their wake. The threads crisscross, forming a stringy obstacle course that is sure to be a challenge to navigate.
You have collected 20 Balls and unlocked Electrike (U)! The next reward (Greavard) will be unlocked at 30 Balls.

Lucille eyed the sign outside of the park after she logged into UNOVR. Large bold letters spelling 'NO DOGS ALLOWED'. Which was odd considering there usually were parks full of dogs. The snowy-haired woman's gaze settled upon the two legendary dogs, while unfamiliar to her, they seemed to give off an important and majestic aura. Like a pair of royal hounds. She had to admit that she found the sword-wielding doggo quite intriguing ❝So you two... can't enter and want balls?❞. With a nod of her head, the Kindler began her trek into the park. One of the Pokéballs on her belt rattling wildly until bursting open, releasing the form of a fiery black kitten. Wide amber orbs stared up at Lucille as the Litten's tail swayed idly. Lifting one of her paws and licking the flammable oils into her fur.
There was a brief pause as Edelgard took her time grooming herself to an acceptable level before she decided to join her trainer further in the park. The duo coming across the area with round balls of yarn, or at least that was Edelgard's first thought as she lowered herself into a pounce, rear end wiggling back and forth as she let out a 'mrroowwwrr' before leaping and batting at the silken-spiders with her paws. Lucille couldn't help the small amused huff of air that escaped her nostrils as she watched her companion's feline instincts kick into overdrive. ❝You could try a Fire Fang.❞ Lucille finally spoke, though it fell on deaf ears as the sound of loud purring permeated the air. The trainer didn't want to go near the creepy insectoid Pokémon, suppressing a shudder that threatened to battle its way along her spine. Yeah, no thanks.
Edelgard the Litten was content to just give into a little feline mischief for a few moments, leaving her trainer to try and grab her attention away from the fact that what she was playing with wasn't a ball of yarn but a Tarountula. El didn't seem to care much if at all. NEXT PROMPT #22: [Tower]CzQxc_Qp1-50 1-50

The (volley)ball was sent careening back to their court, along with about a truckfull of pocket sand because the princess didn’t have manners—to which Kazuki delights, for he is a bitch, only for his entire side of the court to get drenched by a sudden water gun and turn both him and Pignite into thanksgiving roasts, which he delights comparatively less.
“FOUL!” Kazuki called, knowing jack shit about volleyball and instead referring to REN and Muin directly. As the hoard of exploding voltorb balls was deemed inadequate, another level was opened—revealing a Takeshi’s Castle obstacle course littered with walking yarn balls.
“Those are choking hazards,” Kazuki grimaced, recalling that time his dobermann tried to eat one of those curated slimes Ren kept ordering. Even if Zamazenta and Zacian were all-powerful god-royal dogs, Kazuki dreaded the idea of letting them clamp their jaws around the Tarountulas.
He tossed out his Dragonite: his dragonair having recently evolved during training. The dragon wasn’t as imposing as he expected—or it shouldn’t have been, had the Parasite effect not reduced it to a walking corpse. Now she looked like a Barney The Dinosaur statue from an abandoned waterpark.
“Get ready to heal the dogs, don’t let them choke,” Kazuki instructed, much to the surprise of Dragonite, who was anticipating arson.
Kazuki pointed at Muin. “Oh, and when you land to rest, sit on him.”
Ah, so it was attempted battery.

Adarsa didn't really know much about what was ever happening in game- things popped up all the time, and he just... it was too much.
So clicking on the button for the new wow sparkly amazing Park of Dogs was utterly amd entirely an accident. He looked around for an obvious way to leave when the one dog gave a spiel-
Stopping when he saw Atsushi inside, amongst the round pokemon.
And then, naturally, he wandered in. "Sh- Kazuki!" He called, correcting himself poorly, and moving to smash into Atsushi's side. "What are you doing here?"
Dahlia, in his arms, wriggled and wrihed to get free, bulk landing on and completely flattening one of the weird bugs.

All the gods up in the sky must be punishing Muin for whatever sins he's unaware he has committed. What other explanation could there be for his nice dog park experience being ruined by the constant childish behaviour of a grown man with the personality of a hellspawn Chihuahua? Whoever soaked Kazuki with a Water Gun clearly understands how to deal with such pests, and for a second there, as if part of some magic act, the cheekiest little smirk manifests on Muin's face... Only to fade when the oversized Chihahua looks at him claiming a foul, to be replaced by the coldest and most unsusceptible of stares. There's no sympathy for Kazuki here, he started this. And with such a response being given, Muin turns his attention back to the legendary dogs, his arms crossed. He gives Zacian's words calm and silent consideration, watching his surroundings and deciding that given the circumstances it would be better to swap Pokémon. Now, his Leafeon had been graceful in all of her actions, yet the Pokémon he releases in her place clearly couldn't care less about grace. He appears with the flash of light of a Pokéball, all nine of his tails raised, and it only takes a cruel stare and a growl for him to IMPRISON the first Tarountula he sees in place. No, sitting on Muin's vicious Ninetales clearly wouldn't be a good idea, but if Kazuki's Dragonite were to indeed try such a thing with either of them, well... Fern's bite marks on its behind are to be expected. NINETALES USED IMPRISON!

There was just something about the legendary dogs she absolutely loved. Whether it’s their symbolism, the fact they were canines, or their design was unclear to her. And as she watched the voltorb explode, she could help but both grimace and smirk at the sight. It was short lied though, Zacian stating what she already knew. Voltorbs weren’t play things.
Suddenly, a group of tarountula coming rolling through the scene on the other side of the fence. It left its buggy mess in their wake. Wolf nose crinkled at the sight. She wasn’t a fan of bugs, both in real life and in game. And, thats saying something. “I know I know,” she mumbled, letting out a heavy sigh as she recalled her other pokemon to summon another, “You want to try them.... Just so you know, they are nasty tasting.”
Within seconds, the familiar orange and red furred fox pokemon appeared. Her six tails twitched, beady eyes spotted both the canines and the wild pokemon rolling about the land before they fell upon her. “Hey Sombra,” the hybrid greeted, actually smiling for once, “We have something to take care of. Can you help me?” The fire type fox gave a small nod, though she didn’t not speak. Poor thing was still traumatized from her former trainer. “Alright. Here we go! On my lead.” A moment not wasted, Wolf asked the little vulpix to confused them in hopes that would be too puzzled to escape everything wrath.

This Dog Tower is sorely lacking in cat vibes.
And so, here comes Tuesday, having none of all those shenanigans. She steps back into the tower as the craziness of the third floor is already well underway, and after those golden eyes of hers scan their surroundings to take in the scene, a playful smirk forms at her lips while a tufted cat ear gives a single flick. That ever so fluffy Angora-like tail of hers sways lightly, and true to Park of Dogs etiquette, it's a dog that she lets out of a Pokéball there and then:
Or, well, a fox. Dainty, elegant, and of fur marked by frost.
<'Ew. Why are they playing with bugs?.'> Dante whines disapprovingly, his little nose even scrunching up for a second there. <'So crass.'>
"Eh... No clue. You better freeze 'em before those nets stick to you, though."
She doesn't need to tell him twice. Before Tuesday can even finish speaking, an ICY WIND rises, flash-freezing the closest Tarountula.
"Attaboy."

"The key to finding an adequate ball," said Morgana, "is to actually use a key."She flashed her sparkly silver claws, which were actually the keys of a living Klefki. The Pokemon seemed to be asleep, letting out only a soft <Uwuwu~> as it breathed in and out through its tiny black mouth. Bergamot jangled it at the legendary wolves as she pushed her way through the iron-wrought gate, entering the so-called Park of Dogs. Ironically, there were no dogs to be found, and posted signage to enforce that fact. Instead, the park was filled with spiders."Oho, what tangled webs we weave!" Bergamot reflected nonsensically, spinning around. It was obvious one of these silken yarnballs was the next ball on the menu for their lupine friends, so she tapped the Klefki on the head to wake it up. "Awaken! I need your help."<Hmm~ What is it,> yawned Wolverine. <I'm nocturnal, you know.>"Draining Kiss!" ordered Morgana, who might as well have not been able to understand PokeSpeech for all the heed she paid it. <Kay~> said the Klefki, and opened its mouth wide, wide, wider. Like the keyhole in Alice in Wonderland, the poppyseed-sized speck became an almond, then a pendant, then an entire inner tube. The vortex of dark energy swirled, draining away the vitality of a nearby Tarountula until the Pokemon fell unconscious from the shock. Bergamot picked it up by its thread, dangling it at arm's length. "Ohoho! Perfect, Wolverine. Back to the dogs!" She hiked up her skirts and sprinted back towards the gate where Zacian and Zamazenta were waiting, her high-heeled shoes kicking up clods of mud and grass behind her.
