Mike Icon Wow. Uh, well... it seems Chill has left out for some SUPER DUPER big mission at this tower... but I really think he needs some help. If you guys really want to, you can hurry and catch up with Chill before he leaves. He’s probably right at the clearing between Tao Village and... uh, what’s it called... M-- moon-- OH!! MONOCHROME TOWER!! Yeah that’s it, kheh!!

I tell you, Chill thinks he can do anything by himself but nooooooo that’ll just break every woman’s heart. He better get some help from you rescuers!!

Oh, also it seems that the cute eggie duos, Puzelle and Ruben, need your help!! Some loser Sneasel from the Slasher Gang thinks he’s so cool going alone and stealing their eggs... kheh, like he can do anything with us around!! Let’s just help Puzelle and Ruben!! That is, if you can. Those two are great, and I like them. They’re cute, AND I get my daily’s supply worth of yummy eggs! Can’t have my noodle soup without 4 eggs! Just look out for Vergil. When he’s around, you know he’s up to stopping crooks.

Mike Icon ...hold up, I just got a letter...

...FORGET CHILL, I’M THE ONE WHO NEEDS HELP HERE. Oh man, why is Mom coming now of all times??? ...A ceremony?? What?? Why are the Rogues choosing this time to give Mom an award now of all times?! Leemmeseee.... “And they told me this is a really great place. If it’s really as cozy as they said, I might move in to take care of my little bab--” AUGH NO NO NO!! Okay. I really need your help, guys. We gotta crash this award ceremony that the Rogues are whipping up. We gotta show Mom-- I mean, Syrup, that this town doesn’t really belong to the Rogues!! Yeah... I forgot to mention she’s a Rogue... and she’s... a Skuntank. Yeah yeah, get it out of your system.

Anyways, that’s pretty much it, you guys. Either help Chill (AS IF HE NEEDS IT, big shot over there), Puzelle & Ruben, or me!! I know, I know, it’s a hard choice but us Rescuers are really made of rough stuff!!! I know you guys can’t let me down!! The ever-burning flame, Mike.

Oh by the way, my radical Rogue---er, Rogue haters! My radical Rescuers! I mean er...totally dudes, I need you guys to stop that turkey of a Gabite, Gunpowder. Why..um for one thing just look at the gnarly eye patch man, totally grottie and he, like, totally fer sure thinks that like it’s better than my shades! And even worse, err..he tried to, um..eat me! Yeah, that’s way untubular man! All ya gotta do is beat him up and steal his treasure. Yeah that’s right, steal as much as ya can! He took it like from other Pokemon anyways! All ya gotta do is bring it to the big rock just outside the clearing at Illusory Woods. Sounds groovy right? Right! I know you guys can do it! Stay Frozen, peeps! -CHILL

MISSIONS

You may choose any of these missions. Main missions are considered harder and longer to draw, and they make a difference in the storyline.

MAIN MISSION

Chill is waiting in a small clearing between Tao Village and Monochrome Tower. He needs the help of willing team(s) to accompany him to the tower. A Cobalion named Estoc is keeping Chill from the tower. He’s a ruthless guardian, so don’t hold back. Aside from that, PK and Devonshire are both headed in the same direction. They have similar keys, though Devonshire is likely headed for the tower, and it’s most probable that PK is headed for the Icy Cave. If either of them are encountered, they need to be taken out as efficiently as possible, without bloodshed. Once inside the tower, the very top must be reached. It is full of traps and ghost Pokemon rumored to have once been regular Pokemon who got stuck inside and died. Fight past that to the top. The goal is to accompany Chill and the Light Stone to an altar at the tip. You’ll have successfully completed your mission upon getting Chill and the stone to the altar.

SIDE MISSIONS

Vergil the Watchog has been hired by Puzelle the Combusken at Tao Ranch. Despite this, he’s having trouble keeping a lone defect of the Slasher Gang from stealing eggs. Help Vergil stop this Sneasel before he takes any more eggs! Mike’s mom, Syrup the Skuntank, is visiting by surprise. Gunpowder has invited her to a ceremony in her honor. Crash the ceremony, which is taking place under the Rogue HQ in their auditorium. Make her want to go back home!

Chill(...?) has set out a wanted poster for...Gunpowder?! Attempt to take down this scurvydog if you’re brave (or stupid) enough! Likely hiding in the Rogues’ HQ!

Merchants' Mission 3

VVV CLICK LETTER BELOW VVV or look at the text version

Shroomsworth Icon Greetings, Merchants! Things are really heating up, are they not? It seems Miss PK wishes to personally handle an important errand nearby the Icy Cave! Just as I previously required assistance, I'm certain she would appreciate your assistance as well, if you can catch up to her at the flower-laden grove. Ah-haha, but we have business to take care of in the village, too! Surely some of you care enough to straighten these things out, eh wot?

I'm sure some of you remember the Miltank known as Ovaltine, yes? Quite a charmer, that one... perhaps not as much as myself, however. Fortunately for you all, I'm all business! Ahem, yes... anyway, the Rescuers have tasked us with escorting her back to Tao Ranch before she causes any more of a fuss. Unfortunately, it seems she had a rather heated argument with Malt, another resident Miltank, and did not wish to return over it. It's a shame -- the ranch is a rather nice place! Malt's my kind of fellow! Always carrying an abacus, very business-minded, it seems. Perhaps he is clashing with her more easy-going methods? ... What?

Did I say something strange? Regardless, please do whatever is necessary to ensure she wants to stay at the farm! We do need our source of milk for trade to remain, after all! Now then... let it be known that I personally find Gunpowder to be a right scoundrel! There even seems to be wanted posters for the fellow all over the place, all of a sudden! Unfortunately, the scoundrel needs a delivery from us: a beautiful trophy! I would protest if it weren't for someone else. The Rogues are having some sort of presentation ceremony! Now, I certainly don't know anything about what a Rogue has to accomplish for this sort of honor, and I'm not sure I want to know...

However, Devonshire seems to have gone on an errand of his own! This leaves us without the ability to gain clearance into the Rogues' hut. Unfortunately, our only option is infiltration. Ensure that Gunpowder receives the delivery before the ceremony begins, or its failure will surely be on our heads! As you can see, we have much to do. The sheer logistics of it all will keep me busy for days! I'm relying on our finest teams to get the job done, as a result. Do make me and Miss PK proud, fellows!

Stay Classy, Shroomsworth

Oh yes! I have one more thing to tell all you lovely merchants out there!~ .... oh, why am I back, you ask? Didn’t I go off to some big tower out in the woods? Ah, well.. this is pretty important! So important I had to run back here and tell you all before I go and do anything else! Alright, so, you know those Rescuers, right? The group led by that Charmander and Mincinno?... Chill, was it? Yeah, Chill! Chill’s actually owed us some money for a while. Sure, he says he gets things for free from us, but he’s really just telling us to “put it on his tab”. Well, this tab of his has gotten quite large, and I’m getting really sick and tired of waiting for him to pay up. SO!~ I need a few of my wonderful merchants to sneak into Chill’s treasure vault and take what he owes us. He should’ve gone off to that big ol’ tower... ah, which I really should be getting back to... and Mike won’t even realize that his hoard’s unguarded. He shouldn’t be much of a threat, actually, so don’t worry about him. Just make sure that you get that treasure! Once you got it, bring it all to the Illusory Woods. I’ll be waiting there to give whoever brings it all to me a lovely reward~ Hurry up! ~PK

MISSIONS

You may choose any of these missions. Main missions are considered harder and longer to draw, and they make a difference in the storyline.

MAIN MISSION

PK is waiting in a flowery grove between Tao Village and the Icy Cavern. She needs capable teams to help her make the journey to the Icy Cavern. PK is transporting the God Stone as the key to entrance into the cave. A Virizion named Coliche is determined to stop anyone from nearing the cave, so plan accordingly how to deal with her attacks. Aside from Coliche and her tricks, Devonshire and Chill are also on a journey with keys into the nearby Monochrome Tower. They shouldn’t directly be in the way, but the tower IS right next to the Icy Cavern. If encountered, they need to be taken care of quickly. It’s probable that the other two guardians will be trying to fight Devonshire and Chill if they’re around. Inside of the cave there is a huge, icy labyrinth. It’s said that many ghost types fill the cavern and that the corpses of their once-alive bodies are hidden in the snow. Fight through to the core of the cave. Your goal is to reach the very center of the chilly maze, where rests an altar; you’ll have successfully completed your mission once you accompany PK and the God Stone to this altar.

SIDE MISSIONS

Ovaltine the Miltank has overstayed her welcome in Tao Village; her sibling Malt wishes for her return to Tao Ranch. Escort Ovaltine there and ensure that she’ll continue to provide milk for the village. It’s known that she had a fight with Malt recently, so she’ll be less inclined to stay at the ranch and out of trouble without the conflict resolved. Gunpowder has commissioned the Merchants’ Guild for a gold statuette of Devonshire (how dreadful...) and requests it be delivered in time for the ceremony of Syrup the Skuntank. Gunpowder, however, is now a wanted criminal for some reason and is likely hiding in the Rogue HQ, under the law firm. Infiltrate and hand-deliver the statuette to Gunpowder before the ceremony begins.

PK(...?) has requested that a team of Merchants storm Chill’s treasure room and take a supposed debt he owes...

MISSION OBJECTIVES

Gunpowder Icon Yarr, I hope all ya scallywags recieved m' last edition of How To Be A Pirate. Just remember: keep practicin' yer 'yarr' and remember t' swab the poopdecks ever'day. Now then...

If yer gettin' this letter and were plannin' t' help out Devonshire, then.. what're ya doin'?! He's already gone! He probably be there by now, ya swashbucklers! Get in gear. Apparently, there's a cave between Monochrome Tower and Tao Village, and.. well. Surely he sentcha a letter, too! The details are surely there. Now, on to business.. First, this be fer all m' mates out there: a great veteran of the Rogues be comin' to town of my accord. Her name be Syrup and she's a Skunktank, so she be hard t' miss.. smell her from a mile away.

Show her yer respect, and put on yer best Rogue'n, 'cause she ain't easy to impress.. but if ya make her upset, I ain't takin' responsibility. Anyway.. I'm sure ya'll be itchin' t' cause some trouble. Well, I got news for you: there be a Slowpoke Slums just outside th' village.. Well, I needn't say they struggle with food and such. My sources tell me that Iceburg, owner of a veggie farm out by Tao Ranch, has a surplus of goodies that just may benefit these Slowpoke. If I need t' say more t' ye, well.. how'd ya make it this far, mate?! If yer the type that be all high and mighty, Mr. or Mrs. "I ain't gonna steal", then you'll probably be stickin' 'round the village. Well, as I told all ya... Syrup be comin' t' town, and we want her to stay. She was known for really runnin' this place like a champ, and back in her days, the Rescuers definitely avoided the Rogues. And well, y'know.. that'd be a good thing, right? I be gettin' quite tired o' hearin' 'bout them messin' up our jobs.. Anywho, 'member how I said she be hard t' impress? Well, it's yer lucky day! Yer job be t' try and convince her t' stay around. We'll be throwin' a welcomin' party for her.. with a spot fer you Rogues t' show off yer stuff. Get it done. That's all I be able t' remember fer now.. but ya know me, I be forgetful at times, yarr! I do m' best, though. You know what I do t' people that have a problem with it. Maney Pleasantries, Gunpowder

A moment please... There is but one more thing I must... propose to all of you fine Rogues. You see, that rascally Kecleon that runs the shops here, PK, has been... quite a thorn in our wallet as of late. A very... flammable thorn. And it has been sitting there burning a hole in our wallet long enough! Put quite simply... we are getting quite fed up with her overcharging! She seems to believe that simply because we are Rogues, our coffers must be filled to the brim with money stolen from others! As you all are most fully aware... this is not the case. What we must do is teach that Kecleon a lesson... and perhaps make up for the economic injustices done upon our most respectable guild. And this... is what I request of you. If you would like to prove your worth to the guild... or perhaps even simply get revenge for your diminishing funds... please visit PK's shop. You simply can't miss it. It is awfully tacky after all, and I think it could use some... redecorating, don't you? Vandalize the shop... and take whatever merchandise you can find to Illusory Woods. I will meet up with you there at a later time and reward you for your most... enthusiastic efforts. Now... I must return to my expedition to Monochrome Tower. Please be sure to teach PK a lesson she won't soon forget. Weh heh heh... I'm counting on you. ~Devonshire

MISSIONS

You may choose any of these missions. Main missions are considered harder and longer to draw, and they make a difference in the storyline.

MAIN MISSION

Devonshire is out waiting in a small cave between Tao Village and Monochrome Tower. He is waiting for any number of teams to accompany him to the tower itself. Standing between him and the tower is a Terrakion by the name of Degue. This guardian Pokemon doesn’t want Devonshire to get anywhere near the tower with the Dark Stone. Aside from that, PK and Chill are each headed out in the same direction. Chill is likely headed for Monochrome Tower, and PK seems to be headed to the Icy Cavern near the tower. If they cross your path at all, ensure that they’re unable to continue their journey. It’s very likely that they, too, are trying to keep their stones from the guardians. It’s not a race against time if neither of the other two head Guild Leaders are able to participate... Once inside the tower, he needs assistance to get past the many traps. It’s common knowledge that the inside of the tower houses many ghost Pokemon, Pokemon who died after being unable to escape the tower. At the very bottom of the basement of the tower is an altar. Your goal is to accompany Devonshire and the Dark Stone to this altar. You’ll have completed your mission successfully if you reach the altar before the other two Guild Leaders.
