"Hello, trainers. I trust your simple collection mission is going well. After all, it's barely been..." she makes a show of checking her slim watch, "...two weeks." She sighs, the type of practiced and needlessly dramatic sigh of someone used to working with colleagues who blast through deadlines. "Anyway, let me add to what I can only assume is your vast laundry list of crucial tasks." The image switches to a topographical map of Beta Island, which shows the coast, rainforest, and central volcano in a series of cyan outlines. "My biomass monitoring shows a vast increase in island spawns. Something must have destabilized the ecosystem, and now certain Pokemon are breeding rapidly to fill the developing niches." Ash realizes what she's said and paraphrases for your benefit. "The Pokemon are swarming. Defeating and catching them should settle the population for now, but we need to find out what has thrown off the balance. Investigate and get back to me." The video ends. Once the players have each made a post investigating the area, a Pokemon Swarm will appear. Swarms become less powerful as they lose numbers, but their evasiveness also increases. When the remaining members of a Swarm are equal to the number of players (or defeated), all players in the thread may catch one of the Pokemon. Yggy Br00ks Finnegan Fjord

Like, if someone annoyed him to his face, he could punch them. Not only could he not punch this video, but even if she'd been there in the virtual-flesh, Finn's pretty sure it wouldn't carry that same satisfaction of feeling bone break beneath his fist. It's his turn to sigh. She's not wrong — Finn's picked up more basic quests than he knows what to do with. Hell, he still hasn't finished the tutorial. This could just as likely have become one of the many things he closed out of and ignored... if not for the prospect of a new member of his team. He's a power gamer. He likes when the numbers get bigger. And he doesn't have an Electric-type, so maybe he can hope for one of those Pichu he's been hearing about. Someone's already there when he arrives. He narrows his eyes, thinking they seem vaguely familiar. "You've been taking on the Tower, right?" Yggy Br00ks

Allotta Bambooga • Corruption Crusher Player Character Posts: 241 Trainer Class: Kindler Player Name: Kekoa Kura OOC Username: Strawberry	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Allotta Bambooga on Mar 28, 2022 6:10:45 GMT 9 Like any good interloper, Allotta interrupts the budding conversation between Finnegan Fjord and Yggy Br00ks before it can even begin. "Asshole! You're here!!" The poor fishing rod she had gotten from the Splashmother was being half dragged on the ground behind her. Good thing this game didn't have durability damage or her rod would be screwed. Allotta had been busy looking for blue fish whenever the quest marker had popped up. Seeing as she was mostly just feeding her Meowth at this point, she figured a break was worth it. Said Meowth was trailing next to her. The Starmap Seal had been attached to the cat's pokeball. That being said, currently the eyes, coin, claws, teeth, and the insides of the Meowth were swirling galaxies. There was also a cloud of nebula that hovered around her ears. A cool effect but otherwise useless. "Oh! And, uh... I forgot your name." They had both been in the Tower of Cats, Allotta and Yggy. But did they actually talk to one another? She couldn't remember. She just recognized him from that. Still, a wave was given before she just shot him a Friend Request for existing. "Why you hanging out with this nerd for?" She smirked, jerking a thumb in Finn's direction.

Yggy Br00ks • Pikachu Fan Round 2 Posts: 406 Trainer Class: Player Name: Kenneth Garfield OOC Username: M00K Arena Points: 68	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Yggy Br00ks on Mar 28, 2022 22:15:21 GMT 9 Scuffing around the jungle floor with one of his fancy Running Shoes, Yggy let out a sigh. I guess nobody's online, he thought, closing out of his Messages screen. It had probably only been five minutes, but Yggy was so bored he was tempted to go AFK and go downstairs to get something to eat while he waited. Of course, that wasn't how the game worked. He couldn't just leave his avatar sitting around while he went and ate a sandwich-- unless he managed to stumble all the way to the kitchen with the Worldscreen still on his head. ...He'd just find something to eat in the game. That'd tide him over for now, right? It's a jungle, there should be fruit trees around, right? The blonde teen looked up from an armful of freshly-picked green bananas when Finnegan Fjord arrived from the deep recesses of the jungle. He perked up at the sight of the semi-familiar avatar and was just about to answer when Allotta Bambooga appeared too. "Nerd?" Yggy blinked, then laughed out loud. "What the heck? He doesn't even have glasses!" They didn't get much further in the conversation before a strange sound began in the treetops above them.. Plip. Plop. Plip-plop-plip-plop. Yggy looked up. Tiny yellow bodies were falling out of the Canopy, sliding from leaves and branches. One hit the ground in front of him, falling through a set of curling ferns. "Chu!" Another one fell, landing with a squeak and a spark. "Chu!" "Oh, cute! Want a banana, little guy?" Yggy said, tearing one off the bunch. He squatted down, offering it to one of the minuscule Pokemon. Five more Pichu peppered the ground around him, swarming together to lift up the banana. They marched off with it like ants carrying a giant leaf, apparently satisfied with his offering. Another fifty or so clustered around him, jostling for more bananas. "Holy cow, okay, okay!" He broke the rest into pieces and tossed them to the little electric-types, anxious to be rid of them. "So you guys know each other?" he asked brightly, dusting off his hands and turning to Finn and Allotta. "I'm Yggy, by the way, if I didn't say! It's short for Yggdemion. That's the name of the final boss in GrandPixel Fantasy II!" That wasn't true, but what was a harmless fib that would help him to sound cool? TAG: Finnegan Fjord Allotta Bambooga

Is she stalking me? He doesn't ask; if he's wrong he'll look crazy, and if he's right she'll know he's onto her. Instead, he shoots her a disparaging look. Well. Nerd is a step up from asshole, he supposes. Even if this Yggy guy seems baffled by his lack of eyewear. "Name's Finn," is all he gets out in response to Yggy Br00ks 's introduction before it starts raining rats. "Ah! This is worse than the tower!" There must be almost a hundred of the things! Pichu, the Pokedex helpfully informs him, and so that's what he's here for... but he had expected a small handful. This was a lot more than a handful. What's even strong against Electric-type? Damn, he should've checked before he came out. Not Water, is a fairly solid guess, so he sends out his Litten to defend him against the horde. Then again, Yggy feeding them bananas seems about as effective in repelling them as that boss Glaceon's blizzard. Yggy Br00ks Allotta Bambooga

Allotta frowns and raises a hand over her head as if to keep from getting wet. In the end, she yelps when one of them falls head first between her melons- the poor rat wiggles frantically to escape, only his hind legs sticking out. Allotta does not move to help the poor thing, leaving it encased in bosom. "How come every time I come out something weird happens?" Pulling out a pokeball, she tossed out Blue. The Sobble shakes himself off and ends up glancing around at the banana-packing mice. He makes a disgusted face but crawls up one of the trees, using a Water Gun to force more bananas down for grubby paws to take. "This guy is my Rival! He's also super stinky." Allotta smirked in Finnegan Fjord's direction, as if her insult was super bad-ass. "GrandPixel Fantasy II? I thought that game never released in English Speaking countries." Then again, it's not like he could know where Yggy Br00ks was from. "Didn't it have some banned scene if you gave that fox girl some juice?"
