PMD: Seventeen Plates DT

@AstralHunter: Is it scary that I have the exact...same...personality? O_O I'm an idealist who is deeply emotional and sensitive with an empathy routine. I agree with you also - I cannot dwell on it. Like so many memories that I have had, I will allow it to be shoved within the corners of my mind and persist to be the optimist with emotional writing. Besides, after I beat the commies in Andinavia (= War strategy game, letters of Scandinavia hidden behind a mountain and against Dad's Red Army. XD), I won the world and I feel a whole lot better. The plate list is awesome! It's neat to know the different plates acquired, reserved for, and so forth. I'll let this stand between you and me, but I have a little plan up my sleeve that is slightly unorthodox....

Spoiler

It will appear in the Mystery Dungeon that there is a Pixie Plate, but on discovery it will be found that there is no such thing, the 'guardian' is a hologram, and the Plate has been moved elsewhere.

Well, that's about all. I feel a whole lot better, eager for the world once more, and as eager for this story as ever. Besides, I spent two hours playing Alpha Sapphire Version, so I'm doing well. . See you all around!

Alas, Silver Fox, the pixie plate has already been taken by the New Order. That's why Hunter's group is going to the poison-type mystery dungeon, so they can get a plate that might be traded.

Alas, Buggie, the spoiler reveals all. . I just have a couple of questions concerning the plot of the story (these are for anyone to answer, by the way) - Which group is Cresselia's? Where is Lugia? I'm sorry for the questions - I joined rather late, and haven't had enough time to go through all the before my arrival parts (though I have done well with catching up with the latest ones. ) I'm eager to see the meeting happen, partially because of the importance of such a gathering, and because my character introduces himself to the rest of the cast (which, if you can't tell, would be super awesome. ) I might as well write a new part in a few minutes to continue extending my story line. Trust me, you will see a lot more of the Cleffa family. . And while I'm at it, I'm going to work on my signature...

errr....I guess another list is in order ._.

did I miss anyone?

Actually, the Ditto guy's story is a flashback.

When I read your list, @15253, I had to crack up when you described Jewels. XD. "Probably frolicking in a desert or something." XD You've covered everyone pretty well, I say. Aegeas is on his own, and at a location, identifiable on the map at the 28th page of this thread, that is between Frostpoint and a desert. Wow, everyone seems to be at Frostpoint, eh? Since I threw in Hoopa to the mix, it's only a matter of time before Hoopa instigates a full on brawl against the Resistance and Frostpoint. I need some popcorn. @Tortwag. This are going to get interesting.

WOWOWOWOW. SO many stuff. Lemme read all that and answer.

@15253 You are one, tricky fellow! Is it Mystery Dungeon's Alakazam?
And c'mon, seriously? It's Spadassya XD Just call her Spades.

@AstralHunter That's the point. He'll gradually become scarrier and scarrier as it goes, sometimes even just for the sake of joking. But he'll also remain very nice to the Resistance members. AKA: unpredictable. Gabriel will become suspicious you say? Naaah, not for long. They'll start witha common interest to chat about, but basically Twinkiel's the best guy to talk to when you have problems or need advices. He doesn't mind. He's insane

Also, your post. So it was amazing, especially the fight description. LOVED IT. Though... For the "disturbing" part, I'm not entirely sure why I'm not shocked by it. It's just too bad, though, because pedophiles are the one thing that I don't usually appreciate, even in dark humor.
... I think I just can't be affected by that stuff anymore :/ Then again I'm a bit of a crazy person.
Still VERY intersting though, because that's exactly what the Pokémon World is for humans. An escape. That's what video games are for humans. An escape. And that's why I don't think those Pokémons are comin' back to the human world. Or at least I'm not sure Twinkiel is.

@Robusto Oh so all of us suffered terrible stuff? YES! You just gave me the perfect excuse to explain Twinkiel's insanity! GOOD.

And Absol was actually fighting with Cresselia's group (against Zapdos), @AstralHunter and @Verser ! You guys just forgot about him! He's still with us!

@TheSilverFox I had bad experiences with YT, but... functioning like that is counter-productive, from my experience. I had - and still have - lots of good experiences with YT as well. It's balanced. And the videos we use are pretty much all of the goods.
Yeah, we DO enjoy YT videos a lot! I mean, I enjoy videos in general, personally. YT is just a place to gather them.
And Eye of the Tiger comes from Rocky. C'mon, you could at least listen to that one, the movies were inspiring ESPECIALLY after what you've read...

You need...? *hands pop-corns* Quite a few of us aren't there yet though, so hold on before making Hoopa summon some allies and all that.

...Empathic? Hyper-sensitive? Well darn it, am I the ONLY ONE who actually enjoys scaring/shocking people in this SB? One who imagines stuff like torturing enemies and laughing to awful, dark and disturbing humor from time to time? I really feel utterly insensitive compared to you guys, now D: I mean I'm kind of empathic, but... Meh. Mostly a sadistic drama queen. I guess that's why there's always that one sadist in my stories and charcter profiles.

One last thing. It's a very... kinda selfish and foreshadowing wish, actually, so it might be forgotten. Then again it might fun for anyone to witness, so maybe not THAT selfish...
...but... @Robusto. Please. Whatever happens at the end... May Hoopa be emprisoned. I really wouldn't like him dead. I need him 'til the end. It's important. You're the boss, though, so we'll see, but... I really hope he won't die.

glad u like it @TheSilverFox.

I guess I should post? Or should I wait for @Charizard821 and Buggie?

@Robusto, do we need to come up with tragic back-stories now?

whines pitifully

u posting buggsy? :3

15253, I'm thinking I'll post tomorrow.

kai :3 danks fer tellin me. I'll wait for u.

@TheSilverFox, you should take the Keirsey Temperament Sorter's quiz. Idealist is only my temperament - I'm also a Mentor and a Counsellor. Concerning the holographic Pixie Plate, will the Mystery Dungeon be an illusion as well? If you plan on using the real thing, then PM Robusto asking for the details of the Enchanted Grove (or me, and I'll forward you them). And I should mention that this Legendary, if not an illusion, would have to be a minor Legendary of the New Order, at best, as otherwise they would know the New Order has the Pixie Plate. However, I am definitely glad you are feeling better.

Oh, and one last point: Hoopa may well want to attack the Resistance, but none of the four settlements where they have headquarters are an option.
1. Frostpoint Village is a neutral faction, which means both the New Order and the Resistance have bases there. (The former has Mt. Icewind next to the village, while the latter has the Snow Fort in it.) Furthermore, destroying the village would destroy the image the New Order has worked so hard to build, and they will virtually have lost the war.
2. Sandveil Town (the town/city that has been built around the Ground Zero Temple) openly supports the Resistance, but its strategic position means it cannot be destroyed. Basically, the situation is the same as in Frostpoint, except the two factions don't openly advertise their bases there, and the bases are smaller. Let's just say espionage runs rampant in the Sandveil's streets. (Don't go to the town yet! Jewels is heading there.)
3. While Sandveil Town openly supports the Resistance, Frontier Town openly supports the New Order. It dwarfs all the other towns and villages in size.
4. The Shrine of Safety is, as the name describes, a sanctuary for all, but it is common knowledge that the Resistance has its main headquarters there for exactly that reason. Long ago, at the beginning of the Pokéverse, Arceus, Palkia, Dialga and Giratina created the forest in which the Shrine of Safety is located so that it may be a sanctuary for all. To ensure that it could successfully accomplish this, they placed a protection enchantment (or whatever you want to call it) on the forest that prevents anyone with malicious intentions from entering it. So it is literally spy-free and cannot be assaulted, unless Arceus, Palkia, Dialga and Giratina remove the protection together.
5. The Resistance has spies in Radiance and Portston as well, but nothing more, as the New Order's influence there is too much. They have no contacts in the two mountain fortresses at all.

@15253, that is a rather amusing list. ^_^ (Jewels is on her way to the desert, but in real time, she's probably in it already, yes.)

@Robusto, that was a good post, but I have some objections. Firstly, the arena the Resistance uses is located inside the Snow Fort - since Arthur is an outsider, he wouldn't be allowed inside; however, you could have him apply to join the Resistance and work as a double agent... that'll make things interesting. Okay, second point: both @Charizard821 and I stated that a Galvantula was the referee, so Arthur couldn't be it. (As for the human turncoat theme, the first one sounds more sinister and fitting for spies, but the second one fits an outright battle theme better. Until further clarification is provided, I vote for the first.)

As for that so-called "Guardian of Life", I'm not sure what to make of him. I certainly don't trust him, and no matter what his intentions may be, he is a member of the New Order, and therefore misguided. Still, he is a wild card, and they always make things even more appealing than they already are, but they will undoubtedly make life difficult for our characters.

Lastly, mentioning that each of the human characters had suffered to some degree in their former life was brilliant! Although, I gave Gabriel and Jewels tragic backstories before that, so it won't affect my planning much. (@Buggiedude2340, Flurry doesn't need to have an overly tragic backstory. Simply saying she was bullied in school is enough, since bullying can become quite severe.)

@Tortwag, even if you are a sadist - I had suspected as much, anyway - you are decent and friendly and only apply it to your writing, so I don't mind. Although, Gabriel will not open up to anyone other than Xerneas; at least, not until he has come to term with his past (but that won't be anytime soon), so there is no way he's revealing his thoughts and emotions to Twinkiel. (And oh, so that's where Absol was! *facepalm*)

Umm, that's all, I think.
