The general mood is that everyone is very happy to be in just another train place and not those other options. No one is in a hurry to move away from this comforting pile.

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious pets all the rest of them a little bit too.]

C'mon, it ain't that bad.

[Probably. Vicious doesn't have much of a barometer for badness.]

...Awright, plan B. How 'bout we go beat up some Pokémon? Didn't really get the chance for you guys to show me much in there.

[derailer]

The Pokemon nod, relieved by this straightforward plan B. Litten finally crawls down again so that he can stretch up towards the flyer taped to the side of the ticket machine. That way you can hear what it says.

The notice reads as follows, with pictures of the Pokemon in question:

MISSING
Several members of our Gear Station family have wandered out of the station and are missing in Nimbasa City. It is believed they have not yet left city limits. Due to the fog, they are likely scared and lost, and may attack. Missing Pokemon can be brought to the Nimbasa City Gym for temporary safekeeping. Please be on the lookout for:
- Crustle
- Garbodor
- Klinklang
- Gurdurr
- Accelgor

[stirtheblood]

Of their family, huh...?

[Vicious sighs heavily but finally stands up.]

Well, sounds easy 'nuff. Let's start lookin' out for 'em.

[derailer]

You can investigate the amusement park area you are currently in, or you can cross a bridge into the main part of the city.

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious turns to the amusement park. Even with his memories the only reference point he has for amusement parks is Tsuruno's, which gives it a vaguely foreboding atmosphere but also the sense that there's probably a good fight around.

He tilts his head and starts walking.]

How 'bout we check out the bumpy small train first, and the weird circle train after that.

[That's the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel.]

[derailer]

The Pokemon nod and split up to help. The bumpy small train doesn't give you much to work with. But once you start investigating the weird circle train, you can hear something metallic banging around.

[stirtheblood]

Huh, somethin' get caught?

[Vicious moves toward the noise to investigate. He does at least spare a glance towards whichever of his Pokemon is nearest.]

[derailer]

A Snover returns the glance, and decides to move forward to help investigate. Suddenly, a metal construction beam is thrown towards both of you, and a Gurdurr pops out as the culprit who was throwing it!

[stirtheblood]

Weh!

[Vicious does his best to catch the construction beam himself. Why would that not be the best idea??]

—Ha! You're Hurdurr, right?

[derailer]

You catch the beam. Snover is very impressed, and whirls around with a cry to take Gurdurr on, to impress you in turn. You can roll 2d6+1 to let Snover try to battle Gurdurr.

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious waves the beam in enthusiasm.]

Yeah! Get 'im!!

[Snover does not, in fact, get him, with a roll of only 6.]

[derailer]

Snover did not realize that Gurdurr has the type advantage, and he is absolutely pulverized by a Low Kick before he can do anything, falling hard onto the ground. He is teetering on the verge of fainting.

[stirtheblood]

Tch... Gettin' in over yer head!

[Vicious uses the beam something like a pole vault, leaping to give Gurdurr a kick of his own before scooping Snover up off the ground and retreating.]

[derailer]

Gurdurr reels, confused by the kick. Snover whimpers in your arms. He is very damaged, but you have rescued him from losing consciousness.

[stirtheblood]

Keh, just as soon as I healed ya... Better luck next time, huh?

[Vicious cradles Snover as he remembers belatedly to check his Pokédex, which informs him that Gurdurr is a Fighting type.]

Fightin'? What's that even mean, they're all fightin'! Just kicks and punches and stuff...? Huh. Sneasel was fightin' too, right?

[He yells.]

Oi! Sneasel! Wanna help out over here?

[derailer]

It is the alpha who responds most quickly, rushing over with a smug grin and claws at the ready. Though the other Sneasel is not far behind.

The alpha has a bonus in rolling, so she can try with a 2d6+2.

[stirtheblood]

[With an 8, she has more success, though she's still not as cool as Litten. Sorry Sneasel.]

Heh! Not bad!

[derailer]

Though she also gets swept by Gurdurr, and takes some damage, she poisons him with a Poison Jab first. So she is confident she still has the upper hand as she leaps back onto her feet, dealing the finishing blow with Close Combat.

[stirtheblood]

Heh! That's one down! You alright there?

[Vicious comes over to give her an approving pat, assessing how hurt she is in the process. Minor damage... seems okay.]

...Are we s'posed to haul 'im back, y' figure?

[derailer]

Sneasel preens, downplaying her damage. She is about to get on carrying Gurdurr, but Gurdurr sways to his feet. He isn't attacking you anymore, and he looks pretty worn out, but he can walk.

[stirtheblood]

Ya all settled down now? Let's head back, then.

[derailer]

He hoists his beam and waits for you to lead the way. After a moment Litten meows and starts trotting to the end of the amusement park, away from the bridge.

[stirtheblood]

Alright...

[Vicious returns the injured Snover to his Pokeball and offers Sneasel his back again before following Litten, giving a brief look to see if Gurdurr is coming along]

[derailer]

Sneasel climbs on. Gurdurr is following the group obediently! Through the fog you can eventually see a flashy building, a large animated screen outside showing a model cycling through various poses. Litten meows again, sitting outside of the door.
