The Legend Run: (nightblitz42) Mysterious Cove

[zarator]

RP2: Fungal Flush​

ou cautiously follow the path, which widens quickly and are surprised to find that, even buried down here, there is a faint amount of light. As you approach the source of the light, you realise that the source appears to be an outcropping of bioluminescent mushrooms. You also note that the path seems to temporarily split into two, with a chasm running down the centre. One path is substantially difficult to see, whilst the other risks you coming into direct contact with the fungus, which feels as if it would be deeply unsettling.

"Not all choices are fair. Especially those made when one is so close to power. Still, let us see what you value!"

Player Options:
a) Take the Mushroom Path
b) Take the Dark Path

[nightblitz42]

I don't trust those mushrooms; they're probably Foongus, and the last thing I want right now is another battle. Taking the Dark Path seems like the safer choice.

 

[zarator]

RP2: Fungal Flush​

You slowly navigate the darker path. Although slow, the slightly jagged path proves exhausting without light. However, you do successfully navigate it, and are rewarded at the end with the sight of another light up ahead.

Boss: Luminant Grotto​

"I see you made it through your trials. Now you'll get a chance to witness something truly legendary"

The voice weakens and fades, and you are left facing a grotto whose light source appears to come from below the water. You imagine it to be some kind of crystalline structure, since the water is so clear you can see straight to the bottom. Looking upward, you ca see the center of the Grotto is directly under the inset lake you saw earlier, and water is flowing down an elevated platform that spans the entire room, covering all the walls with water. But you don't get much time to enjoy the view, as soon enough a Golduck sticks its head out of the water. It dives back under, and soon in the center of the grotto you see a Phione rise upward, floating above the water's surface, and then over a small island in the center of the Grotto. Golduck joins it there. Both seem to be awaiting your actions.

Hey that Golduck needs a gender

Zoroark: Dark Pulse (Golduck) ~ Night Daze (Golduck)

ONCE IF [Golduck is to use Hypnosis] AND [Golduck is slower than Zoroark] THEN Taunt (Golduck), pushing back.

Round 1​

Golduck immediately comes under attack from the team, but he manages to summon a heavy downpour regardless. Then, thanks to Phione's heal, the duck gains the initiative and hids underwater, evading the enemy and striking at Zoroak together with Phione shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, Abra suddenly can't go anymore, and faints!

Round 2​

Golduck and Phione summon, in succession, powerful tidal waves against the party. However, right after the Delcatty knocks out Golduck, the Zoroark manages to blind Phione temporarily with a burst of darkness, causing the latter's wave to miss him barely.
