[ALL RIGHT WELL THEN THIS WAS . . . AN ACTION HE TOOK. His sinful hands made this happen! Saturn's just going to grab the Toxic Plate out of his bag and lean it up against the screen to block the view of, all that, as soon as his brain parses what it is he's looking at. No more looking at that image! Then he goes back to the keyboard and hurriedly types:]
Ingo beating Emmet in a Pokemon battle for the first time
Luckily, as you saw before, the image disappears while it's loading the next one. It takes a long time to load, but there's nothing on the screen in between except the loading icon. You are safe from the prior image.
Eventually an image pops up of Emmet and Ingo as children. Ingo and Litwick are very smug to have prevailed against Emmet and Archen.
[PHEW. He puts the Plate away. And then he really can't think of anything else to do with this machine that doesn't feel criminal, even though part of him really wants to experiment with it for a while, see what actually happens when he browses things, maybe look at himself in Ingo's mind...but no, his one experiment was harrowing enough, thanks. He leaves it like this to head back to the platform.]
Something lands to block your way almost as soon as you turn to leave the console behind. It's the noble Pokemon, Sneasler, standing tall with a scowl and sharp claws at the ready. She's here to battle!
She does seem to have a particular grudge against you that would imply she saw you messing with things. A good Pokemon battle may be all that can calm her down from her reflexive protectiveness.
[Well he's not going to send out Sharpedo against her. He knows her typing! It's tempting to send out Toxicroak just for the reunion, but that's not a smart move either. It's got to be—]
Oh no! Sneasler swipes Crobat with a Dire Claw, which isn't very effective, but paralyzes her. Then she can Giga Impact to her heart's content. Eat shit Crobat! WHERE'S THE POWER OF LOVE NOW?!
[I forgot to even add 1 to my roll for the 4x. Not that it matters! Sneasler is going down! Bronzong sends out another Extrasensory to finish the job, avenging Crobat, or something. Saturn puts a hand on it.]
. . . Thank you. I wasn't expecting that. I suppose I deserved it, but Crobat didn't . . .
Bronzong can gain a level for a permanent +1 if you want. I mean, in the palace. Once you return to harsh reality, no longer will it have such strength.
Sneasler slumps, extremely dazed. She can't be entirely taken out, since she has too much power within Ingo's mind. But she is clearly not posing a threat to you anymore.
I don't have any Potion for you . . . but I suppose that makes us even. I'll have to heal Crobat somehow. But for now, I'll get out of this dangerous place before I misstep again . . .
[NOW it's time to go back to the platform and head back. Onward!]

[DID SHE WITNESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED . . . either way, Saturn about jumps out of his skin being interrupted from his thoughts that abruptly.]

Go, Crobat!

He recalls her as she faints, feeling a pang of guilt. At least he still has Bronzong to send out for Psychic supereffectiveness!
2d6+2 = 12. FUCK you, Sneasler!]
Bronzong, go! Confuse Ray, and then Extrasensory!

. . . I'm sorry. For overstepping. I didn't think . . . well. Anyway. Regardless, I apologize.
