Elemental Gauntlet: A Pokemon Roguelike

[Flashlight237]

Oli hops down the hall to see the other gates as well, pondering a bit before eventually deciding to go to the water type gate thinking that normal and fire types are usually very offensive while water and grass are more defensive and water types tend to not have the passive damage that grass types do. this will give her maximum chances to figure out exactly what she is capable of.

You go through the Water Type door. Your first challenge is a purple star challenge.

I'd put you in the water for this, but you aren't exactly a mermaid. Despite this, you are taking on a challenge akin to stereotypical mermaids.

Before you is a school of random fish chilling in a body of water. On top of a raised rock, you find a microphone. Your task is to make like a mermaid and see if you can control the fish by singing to them.

Masha wasn't too well versed in the intricacies of the Pokemon world, so she approached the pokeballs and chose the one that seemed more likeable to her. It was a Luxury ball. The girl didn't know what to do with it, so first she gently touched it with her foot.

As the ball is a plushie, the only think you can tell from touching it is the ball is soft.

Oli had expected combat and not exactly this, nevertheless she sees the microphone on the rock and decides to try teleporting to it instead of trying to swim in such a restrained condition.

(you as the dm can choose if she successfully teleports to it or fails and gets in trouble, you can also tell me to roll for it)

Masha expected that when touched, the pokeball would automatically become part of her inventory, as it was with her gag and Lena's berries. But it didn't happen, so it was something else. The girl temporarily left the pokeballs and went to the three platforms to study them better.

The path to the microphone wasn't water, but okay... You warp right to where you're in front of the microphone.

The platforms have rounded notches in them. Based on the size of the notches, you can immediately tell they were meant for the Poke Ball plushies.

Lena studied the plushes then summoned vines to pick up the quick ball plush

[Bound cat]

Masha examined the platforms once again, trying to find out if there were any differences between them

There isn't any... They all look the same: whitish with red lights on the side you are facing.

(ah i see. reading "in a body of water. On top of a raised rock" made me think the rock was in the middle of water. nevertheless)

Oli unsure of what to say to the marine creatures simply decided to ask "Hello? Could anyone help me get to the next room?" as the first thing to try

The fish don't respond. You're not exactly Aquaman.

confirming that the fish are clearly of low intelligence, Oli then tries to mind control them, she is wearing a psychic typesuit currently afterall

(sidenote, are they like actual fish or are they like fish pokemon?)

[Flashlight237]

Lena studied the plushes then summoned vines to pick up the quick ball plush

Alright, now what will you do with it?

((A mix of both.))

I don't think you're going to be able to just straight up mind control fish until your Typesuit II. It's a bit of an advanced ability.

I see you're struggling with the task you are given on the first level of your run. Here's a hint to guide you. A stand stylized like a mermaid spawned in right next to the microphone with a music sheet on it. You could see it as a song, or you could see it as a bunch of golf clubs and stylized 3s on lines depending on your literacy for music.

Oli is indeed able to interpret the music sheet in quite a detailed fashion, Oli takes a few minutes to memorize and practice all the notes and putting her heart and soul into the best mermaid she can conjure up

((So are we ignoring Lena picked up the quick ball to examine it)

((I just quoted your post. Also, I already said the balls were soft plushies.))

The plush is blue and yellow just like the Quick Ball itself. Like every other ball, it would fit perfectly in the notches.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Lena thought "hmm it appears the ball would have the most catch rate so it goes last" she would put it in the last podium

The rightmost podium now had the quick ball. It's light shine yellow as in "pending."

"Well, let's say," Masha thought and put her ball in the recess on the central podium.

The Luxury Ball plushie sat in the central podium. The light on the podium was yellow.

[Bound cat]

“Okay, let's continue. In the worst case, nothing will happen and you will have to look for another way to solve this puzzle,” - Masha thought and put the third ball on the last free podium.
