Oh right. Once Dedenne calms down from her hysteria, her Play Rough is so vicious it is a critical hit! And this time, she leaves just enough HP for Drilbur to be caught in a Pokeball. Dedenne looks up at you, expectant (of both praise and of you throwing the Pokeball).

[fujimaru]

--oh! Right!

[ She's going to throw the Pokeball and then fuss over Dedenne instead. ]

Are you okay? I'm sorry! I'm not used to dealing with something like that--do you need another heal? You were really cool!

[derailer]

Dedenne shakes her head, and puts her little paw on the closed Pokeball. Drilbur has been caught, but his HP is very low now! He's the one who needs healing!

[fujimaru]

Yeah, I can definitely fix this guy up... you did good. Thanks for dealing with the situation, and with me.

[ This time, she's just going to blow her heal spell on Drilbur. This is fine, probably. ]

[derailer]

Drilbur is fully healed now! Congratulations! Dedenne squeaks happily.

Now you can finally continue forward again. Through the fog, you can see one of the large blue rocks on your right hand side. As you follow the path to the left... you see another of those floating rocks blocking your path up.

[fujimaru]

Guess this really is just an old fashioned puzzle mazes, huh...

[ Time to see if there's a way she can nudge this floating rock to the blue rock, as what happened before. ]

[derailer]

It works just like you expect it to—pushing the floating rock towards the other blue rock will make them connect, clearing your path. Proceeding forward, the path branches forward further or to the right.

[fujimaru]

[ When in doubt, always pick going forward! ]

[derailer]

The path curves around, and you can see more glowing rocks ahead of you. But also, you suddenly hear a noise—like... ripping? Grinding? It's faint, but it echoes through the cave, so it's hard to determine where it's coming from.

[fujimaru]

If it's another wannabe jumpscare, I swear I'm gonna...

[ Obviously KEEP GOING IN THAT DIRECTION. WHO DO YOU THINK SHE IS ]

[derailer]

Your vision is abruptly covered by a shadow. Please tell me you move out of the way before whatever this is lands directly on your face.

[fujimaru]

--?!

[ She does in fact dive out of the way. She might not know how Pokemon really works, but she does know to not just stand there and let herself get (potentially) squashed. ]

[derailer]

It's a Ferroseed that is plummeting down right where you were standing. It doesn't hit you, but it still seems prepared for a Pokemon battle!

[fujimaru]

Are you kidding me--

[ She does not kick this one, at least. Dedenne please be proud of her,

But she does take a step back automatically to give herself the space to scan the thing. She knows about type advantages, just, not Pokemon types, ]

[derailer]

Ferroseed is Grass and Steel type. It resists Electric and Fairy, so it might be a better idea to use Drilbur for this one—even if Drilbur is weak to Grass.

[fujimaru]

[ So it's basically like a Berserker fight, huh... well, that's fine. She's got some experience with that, at least. It's time to let Drilbur out and hope it's not too mad at her for the previous circumstances. Bulbapedia tells me its Ability means it will either get to go faster or it will hit harder, so let's see what happens.

With Earthquake.

2d6+2 = 13. ]

[derailer]

Obviously you get the most points for using Earthquake in Ingo's palace. Obviously.

Not only does Drilbur wipe the floor with this Ferroseed, and not only is Ferroseed able to be captured, but also Drilbur has gained a level! He has a permanent +1 now.

[fujimaru]

--Hey! Good job, you!

[ Ritsuka is one of those people who does not nickname her Pokemon,

but she does give Drilbur a little pat on the head. Good job, buddy. ]

[derailer]

Drilbur is very happy!!

When you continue down the path you pass another large blue rock. You can see two of the floating rocks up ahead, blocking your way. You could squeeze past the first one to push it, but you can't really access the second one without pushing the first.

[fujimaru]

I don't suppose there's an easier way to do this kind of thing...

[ Isn't Rock Smash a thing?? why does it only work for certain designated rocks!

But she is going to do her best to squeeze past that first rock to give it a little shove. Good thing she's little. ]

[derailer]

Dedenne is also very tiny, at least, and can creep under enough to point out that the second rock should be pushed forward down the path! She can see the matching rock in the distance!

[fujimaru]

Good job! Let's see if this is the way out or not...

[ LET'S SHOVE THIS ROCK. SEE WHERE WE GO. ]

[derailer]

You can continue down some stairs, and further down a path. You pass another floating rock, but it doesn't actually seem to be blocking your path. You can just walk past it if you want.

[fujimaru]

[ Normally she would. Normally, because she's usually accompanied by at least one person who is willing to be the careful one where Ritsuka frequently is not.

She's going to poke the rock. Just to see. ]

[derailer]

It wobbles; it could be pushed forward like the rest. But more immediately, the wobbling of the rock dislodges a Joltik, who is angry at the disturbance!
