Unfortunately for Jester, he wasn't immune to normal-type attacks. The male was struck bodily, and grunted in pain as fresh injuries sprouted from his petite shape. Hurrying to recover, he glared at the remaining Geodude, his vines still hovering at his sides - awaiting his command. Andrea remained aware of the fire-types attempt, pausing briefly to consider what must be done.
"Wait fer his candle! Then keep it going, boy!"
After Sam's Pokemon finished up her round, Jester continued lashing out, lips curling into a sneer as he took immense pleasure in wielding his vines against his foes. They were weak wild Pokemon, anyway. Likely incapable of reaching their absolute potential without the instruction of a human. Andrea took pleasure in her Pokemon's efficiency, grinning smugly at her companions.
"This shit's about to be all kinds of easy. They're fuckin' weak," she commented.
"Sniv!" Jester hissed, aiming at the remainder of the two rock-types.

Julius blinks and then stares at Andrea incredulously. Did she just call Castiel of all people, babe? What the actual hell? Or was it just a thing that girls did. He wasn't sure. Half the time he thought he didn't understand the working of sane straight women, let alone the spycho lesbian that Andrea was, but this was too strange to ignore.
"B-babe?" he asks, staring at her. And then he repeats himself, this time his words aimed at the shorter girl. "You two know each other?"
He then realizes that they're getting behind and quickly jogs to keep up. He offers Samuel an approving snort at the ranger's lack of expertise- rangers were and would always be idiots in his eyes. Idiots entrusted with a job they could not comprehend let alone execute.
--- Zwei dealt with a few of the geodudes, but there seemed to be a lot of them. Maybe he should have just told Zero to take care of them with a quick discharge instead. He shook his head, and then concentrated on the battle which, thanks to Andrea and Sam, was basically won. But he didn't enjoy the possibility of failure, so he quickly order two more thunder shocks just in case.
Zwei executed them with perfection, and Julius turned his attention back to Andrea, expectant of an answer.
with the final attacks the geodudes went down for the count. terry clapped his hands and kept his stylus. "good work," he said. he pointed to the fallen geodudes as he walked past. "one each!"
terry led the group further into the cave. they come across a wall with some inscriptions on it. terry reads, "lustrous facial hair, despite which i can spin him like a pokeball. who am i?"
1 level each the group encounters a wall solve the riddle!
Post by Julius Kingston on Jun 11, 2015 14:09:20 GMT
Julius looks at the ranger with growing dismay as things turn from inconvenient to annoying- did the rangers plant the little riddles there? Wasn't this supposed to be already explored? Then again, if thi really was a riddle that had to e solved...Julius watched with exasperation written on his face as he hear the words. Either way h, enjoyed riddles, so nothing lost there, really.
After the ranger finished there was abut of silence, an Julius immediately visualized the answer, yet he could not put a name to the face of the Pokemon. "Damn, it's that one red-blue thing, isn't it?"
He presse his ,yes tight, trying to recall its name. It was something they’d done a chapter on at the ranger base in Kanto, but he’d long since forgotten the knowledge he’d known in that era of his life.
"The ranger academy told us all about those things, argh..."
Not knowing was obviously frustrating the male and I someone didn't turn up with an answer soon he’d probably loose it. He didn't like not knowing. Funny seeing how he didn't like knowing it all at once, either. It was hard to find the perfect mix of challenging at satisfaction- Julius would probably be even more annoyed once he figure out what it was and subsequently realized that he’d known it all along.
In the meantime,he turned to his group, gesturing in the air like mad as though it would help. .

I WILL GRAB MY FREEDOM WITH MY OWN HANDS.
The last of the geodude fell unconscious, and despite Wisp having her little cheer fest he felt sorry for the pokemon. They didn't deserve to be attacked out of nowhere, and while he himself didn't have the pacifist mentality he did have an odd attachment to the pokemon.
Grumbling a few choice words, mostly direct at the quote on quote "ranger", he picked out an empty pokeball and casually tossed it at the nearest Geodude as he walked by; reflexes catching the flung back pokeball immediately and he settled it into his belt. Naming would come later, after he mended it back to health and apologized to it.
Next up they came across a riddle. Sam tilted his head, face scrounging up in confusion. Julius was the first to speak, trying to decipher it. Red and blue, huh? The young adult turned from the ranger, to Julius, to Andrea and then all the way back over to the wall where the riddle was inscripted. He snorted, "What is this? A cave or an underground ancient ruin? I'm fine with the latter, but I thought rangers were't suppose to be con men." After his little outburst, he rolled his eyes and placed a hand on his chin, furrowing his eyebrows once again. The ranger wasn't particularly getting on his nerves, he'd be much more aggressive if he was, but stiring up some trouble for one of the opposing parties couldn't hurt too much.
Diverging back to his routes a little, he let his eyes glaze over in thought. The first thing he thought of was probopass because it was red, blue, and the 'mini-noses' that it controlled spin almost constantly. However, its hair wasn't lustrous and it wasn't a ball. Voltorb fit the bill too, but it had no facial hair.
"What is a pokemon that can spin like a pokeball, but has hair on its face and glimmers?" He bit his lip and the ghost type pokemon he didn't recall earlier tried to float up to the writing and stair impatiently at it, as if it'd combust if she looked at it. The action caused Sam to snicker.
"So... What about either Spheal or Sealeo? It is commonly known for balancing pokeballs and spheal on its nose, rolling them to get their scent. It is also described in many writings, and the pokedex-" He paused briefly so he could whip the mechanical object out of his pocket, waving it around slightly. "-as being "the ball pokemon". It also lives in cold water, the large whiskers on its face could easily be mistaken as a lustrous mustache."
Afterwards he gave a cough, looking around awkwardly and crossing his arms. It was very rare that he talked like an actual nerd, or show signs that he had the kind of capacity to talk like a college professor. Unfortunately this was one of those times he couldn't quite help himself. A small faint blush appeared on his cheeks in embarrassment in realization to this, suddenly finding both the floor and ceiling very interesting to look at.
The teen continued in a softer tone of voice, to give his finalization of his guess; "My answer is Sealeo.",

"C'mon, boy. Good job," Andrea crooned.
She reached down to scoop up the grass-type, arranging him until he was comfortably clinging onto her shoulder. His tiny hands gripped onto the fabric of her shirt, peering curiously at their surroundings and noting the elaborate beauty yet prominent dimness of the cave. Andrea failed to notice that he had gulped, eyes reflecting his anxiety.
"Yeah, ya know how familiar I am with the ladies, Julius. You jelly," she teased, wiggling her fingers.
Once the whole puzzle thing came up, the girl muttered an obscenity.
"Fuck if I know. I'm shit at solving things. And I barely know my way around my fuckin' Pokedex. Ya got a clue Jul - the fuck are you doing?"
Both coordinator and Pokemon tilted their head simultaneously as they observed the male.
"Didn't know you were one fer interpretative dance," she replied, lamely.
"Sniv."
"Whelp. I don't know what the fuck it is. Guess we gotta guess. Um. A mustache. And spinning."
She thought for a minute and snapped her fingers - expression brightening considerably.
"A male stripper. Some of 'em have a mustache and can spin around a pole like a Pokeball."
well at least one of them got it right. he nodded at samuel's answer. the wall slid open to reveal a more narrow path. he led the group in.
they eventually end up in a much larger room. but it was still pitch black. there was a lake in the middle but it was still. "can you guys see?" he asked. but before anyone could answer a stream of water came shooting towards the group. terry dodged and pointed at the lake.
"get it!"
the group encounters an unknown pokemon defeat the pokemon!

I WILL GRAB MY FREEDOM WITH MY OWN HANDS.
Andrea's choice words didn't quite sit well on Sam's conscience, and he tuned the conversation between her and Julius out for the time being, dragging his surprisingly solid Litwick away from the wall to let the rest of the party read. His small moment of getting over his embarrassment from before was deterred, and immediately became flustered at the female's guess.
He turned to her wide-eyed and with a pink face. His expression was flabbergasted, eyes were wide due to shock. "R-really? A male stripper? Honestly??" Sam's arms crossed over and he turned towards Julius, his look becoming one that said can you honestly believe this girl? before he let out an exasperated sigh and shook his head scornfully. He was pretty good at keeping his hormones in check, but he was still nineteen and he would be lying if he said the image didn't cross his mind even for a split second.
Wisp broke out laughing at her trainer's expense, phasing out of his grip and floating around to signify her amusement. This resulted in her trainer grumbling under his breath, which only stopped once the door creaked open. The tour guide nodded towards Sam, and everything from before seemed to be forgotten as he straightened up. At least the answer was not a male stripper.
The new area that opened up seemed to be completely dark, and it made Sam actively tense. His Litwick was producing a good enough light so he could see his hand infront of his face, but her light still managed to be drowned out mostly by the darkness of the cave. It was even colder in here, and damp, making Sam huddle against himself once more. "I-I can s-see a little bi-" His chattering was cut off by the sound of something forcing its way out of the water, and his heart sank completely. He stepped back, cat-like instincts telling him to get way.
"Wisppppp!" He called out in a state of panic, something completely uncharacteristic of him. The pokemon floated down infront of him and seemed to shrink in size as if to protect itself. Shortly after, she opened her mouth and a dense purple fog seeped out of it and started to fill the room, but seemed to collect actively around the area the creature was last heard at.

Andrea made him glare at the girl in annoyance. "My dancing is better help than male strippers," he snorted, giving her an annoyed eye roll. "Damnit woman I thought you were gay." He tsked, chiding her a bit an his train of though not disrupted as the riddle was forgotten.
His eyes drifted to the snivy, remembering quietly that he had also had a snivy egg at one point, which reminded him of Cass. He shook his head as Sam’s quiet ramblings dragged him out of his eye lock with Andrea’s serpentine Pokemon.
The boy spoke quietly, a soft but intelligent air radiating off of him as he made many solid points before finally going about giving his answer, at which Julius smiled genuinely.
"Ayy, you're probably right. Never was an honor roll student at the academy myself," he laughed, hand going out to give the younger boy a pat on the back. Simple but effective- Julius immediately took a liking to the boy and found himself laughing over his shyness. The laughter was short lived as the door clicked opene and darkness flew in and surrounded them.
"Use a light discharge, keep things bright," he told his rotom immediately. His voice took on a quick, assertive tone and things were business once again. Suddenly, just as soon as Zero’s light shone on what seemed to be a lake, something erupted from within the water body and Julius’s hands flew up immediately. Te water splashed all over him, and he heard a strangled cry from San to his left.
Julius spun around. "Hey!" he shouted immediately, a kind of are-you-okay and get-your-shit-straight all at once. He turned towards where he assumed Andrea to be and then allowed himself a smirk despite the surging adrenaline.
"Don't touch the water this time, 'kay?"
He didn't wait for an answer.
"Zero, the lake, now." A faint smile crossed the ghost’s face before a discharge lit up the room, and a single bolt struck the surface of the water.
He then turned to the ranger. "Aren't you a freaking ranger you coward?!" he shouted, eyes furious at te disgusting show of cowardice the man was displaying by dashing around the lake instead of doing anything.
Under his breath he mumbled, "And the world is proved to be run by fools yet again."

andrea struggled to contain her laughter at their responses. and, after a moment of brief consideration and eyeing on her part, she proceeded to brush past julius - rewarding him with a playful hip bump.
"what, stud? ya still wanna have a go?"
after her bit of teasing was done, she continued onward. her snivy's gaze shifted as he peered over his shoulder at the male, curious to see his reaction to his mistress's game. jester wasn't entirely surprised by the woman's behavior, all of her team aware of her ways at this point of time.
"it's fuckin' dark. i hate this kinda shit," she grunted.
she hated closed-in spaces with a pitiful form of light to illuminate ones surroundings. thankfully both sam's and julius's pokemon proved useful in this particular situation.
"you good, jes'?"
"s-sniv," he replied, desperately clutching onto her shoulder.
"it's all good, buddy, 'mm here, 'kay?" she comforted.
"sniv," he muttered.
seconds later something came out of no where and both andrea and her pokemon proceeded to release an embarrassing high-pitched scream.
"oh shit! nope!"
"sniv!"
aware that both herself and snivy were no good at the moment, andrea shifted closer to the ranger, her scowl prominent. and when julius said his piece she shouted right back.
"he's our guide not our fuckin' babysitter, julius. we can handle this shit. after all, when was the last time ya let a ranger hold yer hand through anything? ya know how useful they are when they come to that. also... fuck you. that's not funny," she muttered sullenly in the end with a slight pout.
she looked to her pokemon.
"jester, get ready. as soon as ya can see this fucker we're jumpin' in."
ranger terry didn't appreciate the insults being thrown at him by the male. but he was trained to keep his mouth shut. so he did. he just pointed to the water as the unknown pokemon suddenly jumped out of the water. just in time to avoid the electric attack. the smog however did poison the pokemon.
shuckle appeared out of the water and laughed at the trainers before charging at the rotom.
The dim light became more vibrant with the Rotom's electrical attacks, and mentally he thanked Julius for the pokemon's "rescue". The elder male gave him a look that caused Sam to nod in reassurance. He straightened himself up, the cower he had been in earlier was short lived.
However, that didn't mean he still wasn't remotely jumpy. That was shown when he jumped about a foot in the air at Andrea's shriek, but it was quickly shoved off by Sam trying to steady his breathing.
The pokemon from earlier leaped completely out of the water this time to dodge the electricity being shot at it, bringing it into the light. The young adult gave a loud snort and mentally smacked himself. "Arceus almighty, its just a shuckle!" He laughed, and action that caused his Litwick turning around with a deadpan look that said "really Sam? what the heck?".
His laughter faded when he overheard Andrea's remark to Julius, remembering that he heard the elder back-talking the 'officer'. It made him amused. "Yeah but, we're not suppose to be babystting him. I don't know about you, but I sure didn't sign up to be his caretaker." A smirk placed its way across his lips afterwards, and he stretched.
"Alright Will-o-Wisp, light the shuckle up for the scare." He spoke casually, being semi-aggressive towards the Pokemon because of its hostility. Though if he had the chance, he would congratulate it on the brilliant performance. Not very many none-ghost-types were good at practical jokes.
In response, Wisp's light grew brighter and several red embers came shooting out from her mouth towards the shuckle while it was distracted by the Rotom. She was happy that she managed to land a poison on the Pokemon earlier.

Whatever annoyance that was brought about by the teasing quickly faded as he heard a shrill scream from Andrea’s direction, about the same time that he was drenched with water.
"Andrea, hey!" He called out, in the same manner he acted with Sam. "You okay?" It was easy slipping into the role of the older one among the three, and when his hand went out to find Andrea, it was instinctive.
The girl rushed away and soon the trio was occupying three sides of the lake, all with eyes on the monster that could be lurking in there. His eyes flicked in annoyance towards Andrea’s generally direction.
"Sure, but it's not like we’re--" Julius found himself interrupted by the younger male and grunge in agreement. "Talk about taking the words out of my mouth."
It was at that moment that the Shuckle emerged from the water, and right now Julius didn't care if it was a Shuckle or if it was Arceus himself. That bastard had caused every inch of Julius’s body to be covered with water.
"Relying on the law is about as sensible as being a criminal," he scoffed cynically, using the anger he held for the Shuckle to fuel his words meant for the ranger. His eyes still focused on the Pokemon however, an they narrowed ever so slightly.
The male was pissed off, and he had never been to nice about things like spilled water. And then the Shuckle had the audacity to laugh. The Pokemon then rolled up into a ball and threw himself against the ghost, causing the Pokemon to fall back and hit the wall. Julius was okay with it- as long as it didn't attack the others. Zero was more than capable enough to handle this.
"Lets go, Zero! Paralyze it, then make some noise."
In a flash of light that served as a status condition spread and also as a flare I help the other Pokemon aim their attacks in the semi-darkness, a thunder eve emitted from the electric type.
Directly after, the pokemon’s buzzing became amplified and the rotom lunged forward, noise and movement at maximum.

"tch."
her eyes narrowed, but she merely gritted her teeth in response to sam's reply. even if he had a point, she was much too stubborn to admit it. after the two had launched their attacks, andrea moved to follow up on the strike.
"i'm good on my side! i'm about to send jester in! he has a good reach! ready, boy?"
encouraged by his fellow pokemon's participation, the young pokemon nodded and proceeded to remove himself from his trainer. his movements were precise, eyes sharp as he hurried to toward the shuckle. the male maintained an adequate distance away from the shelled beast before summoning up his vines.
"alrightie!"
andrea moved to settle at his side, a wild look in her eye.
"vine whip!"
she pointed toward the wild creature, lips twisting to form a smug grin.
"sniv!"
the grass-type obeyed, harshly lashing out against the turtle.
"aim for the neck!"
andrea had considered the exposed portions - and due to the shell appearing ridiculously tough - she was unwilling to waste her pokemon's energy by aiming at the protected exterior.
"sniv!"
jester's vine instantly whipped toward the selected target.
the shuckle fainted. it was all too much for him to handle. terry clapped for the group as he watched the shuckle slip back into the water to heal. too bad. he pointed his flashlight towards a sign. "don't fuckle with the shuckle." he laughed. he gestured for the group to leave as he led the group out of the cave.
"good job," he said. he gave them one final wave before leaving them at the gift shop.
