Episode 5: Hot and Cold Flex Off!

[fallers_npcs]

Today, the Class is off to the Hot Springs! Until Monday, they’ll be on a school trip to Mount Lanakila, where they will spend two days and two nights at the mountain. Here, the school will learn about the native Snow Pokemon. However…

Kukui frowned in worry at the Mountain which was… suspiciously barren of snow in this area. The ground was green with grass, and it was swelteringly hot. “Sorry everyone! It seems like we’ve got unseasonable weather!” Exclaimed Kukui. “Still, there’s no worry here! Unload your things, get settled in and we’ll still tour the Ice Caves at 2pm! Until then, try and relax. Maybe if you want a nice Heatwave, try out the hot springs!”

No worries everyone, there's plenty to see. Lots of Pokemon still. Though, the people at the Hot Springs could need your help, getting the springs back to working order. The Owner could use people with technical help to look at the pipes, people with strong backs to get the springs in order and at 2pm everyone will go to the caves unless you're helping the Owner.

Dawn looked confused, but she and all of her Pokemon were doing their darnedest to post like everything meant it!

And there was Piplup, tiny heroic Piplup, posing as if he had evolved Empoleon on pure strength alone!

You can do it, Piplup!

The sheer power of their flexing was wrestling with theirs as King Buzzswole mustered a mighty flex. The power of muscles flared as literal Z poured off both groups, wrestling for control. For a moment, it seemed like both groups wouldn't last.

And then -- the tiniest creature intervened. Piplup won the day, with his final pose, which tipped the scales of Z. Like a cooling wave, Ice-Z flooded the room, cooling the air and the temperature of the room began to cool down, naturally, gradually, the rage of the volcano beginning to return to a more natural temperature.

The peanut butter covering the shrine brittled and shattered in a resounding crack, as the King grunted in surprise. And then, with a cry, raised his hands over his head as he cried happily, his subjects crowing happily as one as the rage of the volcano seemed to clear.

Moving towards Piplup, King Buzzswole knelt down in front of the little one, and bowed his head. Buzzing appreciatively, he snapped his fingers as two Buzzswole went to Ash's fallen shirt and retrieved a Beast Ball that had fallen from his things. Handing it to Piplup, he pointed it to him, and to Piplup.

"Buzzswole," said Buzzswole, finally in the language of the Pokemon as he tapped the device -- and was sucked in.

PIPLUP HAS CAUGHT A BUZZSWOLE!

As the Buzzswole cheered for their King and their new King's Boss, the shrine began to glow. From it, two majestic glowing plates began to shine from it, as the source of the Ultra Holes began to appear from them. Two gloriously powerful plates, Arceus Plates beckoned the Fallers forward.

Take your prizes Fallers, and go home. The Buzzswole are cheering you on now, making a path to the hole at the ice caverns which are cooling rapidly thanks to the geothermic change due to Piplup.

"Arceus Plates..." Dawn uttered, picking up Piplup in surprise, approaching them. Was this like the Jewel of Life incident again?

Oh, gosh, they'd need to protect them!
