Challenge Tower

I was thinking Captain Toad, the genderless sentient fungus.

Flurry points out that Nogeko is small enough to ride in someone's lap. Nogeko then starts to drool and points his paws toward Rena, walking toward her like a zombie. "No." She quickly punts him into Captain Toad and the two of them fall into the same Arwing together. She then jumps up and lands in her own Arwing. Flurry shrugs and turns over to Link.

"Don't worry, sugar. These are easy to use. The interface is pretty simple." She then helps Link into his own Arwing before getting into an Arwing of her own. "All aircraft move out~" She gives a wink to nobody in particular.

"What the heck is going on!? What kind of an insane kidnapping is this!?" Link shouts through the transmitter, trying to keep his Arwing from crashing.

"It's not." Rena simply responds.

"LA RENA, MY TRUE LOVE, WHY WON'T YOU SNUGGLE UP CLOSE TO ME IN AN ARWING!?" Nogeko screams this from the Arwing as Captain Toad drives.

"Quiet."

"Okay! We're almost at the island! Everybody get ready to land!" Captain Toad responds in his usual, cheery voice.

The party lands down on the beach of an island city that seems popular for vacations. There are many resorts here along with tourists. And most of them are staring at the party's Arwings they just landed. Rena stares back at them, waiting for them to say something while Flurry pushes a button to transform the Arwings into motorcycles and lock them so they can't be stolen. She then turns and winks to those watching. "Just normal motorcycles, sugar~"

It looks like there's some kind of contest hall here. There's also the beach here with various tourists. A lot of them are Pokemon trainers actually. Seems this is a popular spot for water trainers. There's also a dock with a lot of fishermen and sailors. There's a resort here that seems really nice. It's probably out of your price range though. But maybe you could pick up a part time job for some cash. The Pokemon Gym is here as well. There's also a large mountain in the background. Huh. Maybe that's significant or something. Looks like it gets cold up towards the top. "Hey, where did Nogeko go?" Captain Toad looks around, shading the sun out of his eyes.

La Rena notices Nogeko is staring at the girls on the beach and starting to waddle toward them, paws outstretched. Meanwhile, Link looks around and then starts shouting. "HYAAAAAH!? What's going on here!? Where did those things come from!? Why did you take me here!?"

"We brought you here to awaken your potential as a hero, sugar~" Flurrie then grabs Link by the hood and starts to drag him around, calling out to Rena as she walks away. "I'm going to go ask around a bit and see what I can find. Let's meet back up later." Captain Toad follows after them while Link gets dragged around, flailing about and attempting to escape.

"K." Rena heads off to the fancy resort and walks in, heading to the front desk. "Give me a job."

The receptionist looks up at her and then starts to speak before Nogeko attempts to wander behind her desk and look up her skirt. As this happens, Rena takes out her bow and points it at Nogeko with an arrow loaded. Nogeko then runs away from the receptionist, screaming as a rain of arrows is launched at him from Rena. The receptionist simply watches with a surprised expression. "Uh...O-Okay...Fill this out." She hands Rena a few papers.

A few moments later after she fills them out and turns them in, both La Rena and Nogeko have somehow achieved jobs. The two of them wear fancy suits and are told to deliver food to certain rooms as room service. They continue to do this for a while with Rena doing most of the work and Nogeko getting mostly kicked.

While La Rena and Nogeko are busy working, however, Flurrie, Captain Toad, and the hostage are all still getting information about the mountain and the gym. Apparently it's a water type gym. The gym leader, Ruto is a very skilled swimmer and running the gym has been in her family for years. If Flurrie wants to take on the gym, one of the people they speak with suggests that she get some grass and electric type Pokemon. When asking about the mountain, they hear that it's actually rather dangerous to climb to the peak. There are some ancient ruins up there, but they're protected by a group of Ninetails. It's almost impossible to get in. However, the mountain itself is a good place to train and capture both flying and rock type Pokemon. If you're really insistent on climbing up toward the peak, however, there should be a cave you can enter on the mountain path that leads to the ruins. Of course, it's hard to find, so it's likely that you'll have to use some HMs. You also hear someone talking about how Ruto gives out HM Surf to those that beat her gym. Captain Toad makes sure to note all of this down carefully while Flurrie continues to carry Link around and make sure he doesn't escape.

What will you do?

Well the only thing we have is Skullachu but it couldn't hurt to have a grass type.

Before we do anything lets do a quick evolution trade with John Machoke Cena and get a Machamp (is here).

Oh and while we are here Mr. Fish is lonely lets get a squirtle, Froakie, or Poplio for Rena.

But yeah couldn't hurt to get some training in and catch a grass and or electric type

Cant hurt to have a water fairy type. Rena will have the most non chalant collection of Fairy types

Nogeko and La Rena decide to head down to the beach and look around for some new Pokemon. Getting a look around, there are plenty of Wingull flying around. A few Krabby can be seen skittering around as well. A few mounds of sand appear to be moving around too, which is...strange. There are a few tourists here, enjoying the beach. Some of which, look like trainers! In fact, there's currently a battle going down by the water. There's a fishing shop here as well as some sort of surfing shack. There's also a group of entertainers here. Three Popplios are dancing on a stage, being directed by a short man with a black top hat.

Flurrie carries Link in the air while Captain Toad follows behind. The three of them head over to the nearby mountain path, walking along it in search of some wild Pokemon. Among the tall grass on the sides of the roads, Flurrie can see what looks like Spearow and Taillow. There's also a lot of rocks on the road. It seems almost like some of them move, but...that wouldn't make any sense.

What will you do?

La Rena walks up to the performing man as the Popplio finish their dance. Everyone claps and the four of them bow. Rena doesn't bother with anything remotely close to introduction. She simply steps up on stage, directly in front of the man and points at his Popplio. "Cute." She then points to him. "I want one. Where are they." She says it less like a question and more like a demand.

"Well, they're quite rare. You won't find one just wandering around the beach. I suggest you check nearby islands for them. They can be found places that are far off from humans."

"K." Rena places one of her Fish into the man's hands. It looks like she only has one left.

Captain Toad picks up one of the random rocks and throws it into a wall. As he does so, it lets out a loud grunting sound and changes into the form of a Geodude! The wild Geodude looks angry!

Fletcher pops out of Flurrie's Pokeball and wanders over to the Spearow, chirping at them. One of them makes an angry scrawing sound at Flether. Hmm...that's right, Spearow are supposed to be incredibly territorial, aren't they? It looks angry.

Captain Toad does not have any Pokemon.
