RESCUE MISSION INITIATED: Madder the Mimikyu.
Starring Lillian the Lopunny and Old Lace the Buzzwole!

With the sun down and the lovely stars coming out tonight, you both begin at the site where Madder was last seen, and you find the t̳̬͡e̷̟ḽl͙̭t͔̱a̞͕̘͇̥̬̮l͙̫̙ę̯͕̼̪̬̫͈ signs of the fight that occurred here̓̊ͬ̌͌̄̓͌̈́̀̉̒ͬ͆͆͘͏̧͏̥̗̠̰̠͚͚͇̩̘̥̠̜̺́ not too long ago. Folks, let me tell yŏ̧̎̄ͯ͊̾ͫ͝͏̷̙̳͖̭͖͡u, it wasn't pretty. Not by a long shot. From your crash courses, you know it was a fire type right off the bat (because duh, sure wasn't some frosty Pokémon̵̨̼̠̙̗͓̘̺͔̺͕̝̻͚̓ͪ̋͐̊ͫ̄͌̂͛̉ͦ͑̀ who burned everything up), but the footprints and the burn marks in the ground clue you in that it's highly likely a Charmander was responsible̓̊ͬ̌͌̄̓͌̈́̀̉̒ͬ͆͆͘͏̧͏̥̗̠̰̠͚͚͇̩̘̥̠̜̺́ for the attack. You're crazy eager to bash her head in!

The Charmander kidnapper likely didn't consider they would be hunted themselves, but you figure now Madder is somewhere in a place where they're preparing him for interrogation. Like torturing him with a n̵̨̼̠̙̗͓̘̺͔̺͕̝̻͚̓ͪ̋͐̊ͫ̄͌̂͛̉ͦ͑̀onstop The Last Airbender movie marathon, likely in an effort to discern more about the Emissary mission before killing him. It's awful. Jar Jar Binks is eve̓̊ͬ̌͌̄̓͌̈́̀̉̒ͬ͆͆͘͏̧͏̥̗̠̰̠͚͚͇̩̘̥̠̜̺́n there, never shuttin̵̨̼̠̙̗͓̘̺͔̺͕̝̻͚̓ͪ̋͐̊ͫ̄͌̂͛̉ͦ͑̀g up about how much he loves this movie.

You both manage to stalk the assailant up north to a small, abandoned shack, likely a safehouse for Payload. From the outside, you can tell this might have been community outhouse or hey, maybe they were selling hot dogs here at one point and then the cataclysm happened and suddenly nŏ̧̎̄ͯ͊̾ͫ͝͏̷̙̳͖̭͖͡ one had any desire for wieners anymore̓̊ͬ̌͌̄̓͌̈́̀̉̒ͬ͆͆͘͏̧͏̥̗̠̰̠͚͚͇̩̘̥̠̜̺́. Either way, it's been abandoned for a long time. Up until now at least!

Welp, that could have gone better!

You both move in and draw your weapons. You can smell a lot of burnt stuff and body part pieces. And then... oh lordy, you can dŏ̧̎̄ͯ͊̾ͫ͝͏̷̙̳͖̭͖͡ the math! They're using this place̸̝̟̥̜̙̱͐ͣ̃ͬ́͟ͅ for testing out explosives! And on actual b̬̱̥̘̬̜͎ͅo͖̞̣̣̝̬̙d̥̼͚i͚͕͉̠̯̪̠e͈̹͍͔͔͔͔̮̼s͙̜̠!

"Old Lace̸̝̟̥̜̙̱͐ͣ̃ͬ́͟ͅ, NOOO!!!" Poor Lillian shouts!

It's so sad and the audience crię̴̭̩̞̳̻ͣͧͧͪ͑̿̑̀s, but moments later, Old Lace goes brain-de̸̝̟̥̜̙̱͐ͣ̃ͬ́͟ͅad. The trauma, the horror, it was just *sniff* too much to bear.

Guys, really, a be̸̝̟̥̜̙̱͐ͣ̃ͬ́͟ͅrry a day keeps the reaper away. A Spelon Berry could have prevented this! Also, Epstein didn't kill himself.

Lillian, wow, there's nothing you can do but press on. You take special care, but you're no̶͉͖̮̞̱͇̻̺͓̫͈ͮ̿͛̎̇́̽̔̽̏͡ͅw aware they know you're here. They might be trying to̶͉͖̮̞̱͇̻̺͓̫͈ͮ̿͛̎̇́̽̔̽̏͡ͅ kill Madder this very instant!

...but shę̴̭̩̞̳̻ͣͧͧͪ͑̿̑̀'s got an Enigma Berry being digested in her inn̟̜̻̭͓̫̗̅̿̄͛ͧͮ̑́ͭ̃̀͗̉́̚͝͝ards, so no Debbie Downer moments here.

So the shadows try to eat you, but sudden̟̜̻̭͓̫̗̅̿̄͛ͧͮ̑́ͭ̃̀͗̉́̚͝͝ly you taste awful to them. Like three-month old avocados. Actually not a bad strategy there!

You see the interior of this shack, and you find the Charmander in question, standing over Madder's unconscious body. Gawd, she's ugly. She turns aro̴͇̲̞̭͔ͨͤ͑ͦ͘und with her ugly face, scõ̴̝̫̙̫͎̘̣̘͈̺͍͓̞͎̻̐̔́͆͟͢͞wls at you, and prepares to fight you.

Lillian rolls 76%, hit! 4 points of damage, +2 from Obsidiant Dagger = 6 damage! CRITICALLY WOUNDED
Anxia: 2HP Remaining

And... HOLY CRAP MATURE RATING, it actually works and you totally ram that dagger into hę̴̭̩̞̳̻ͣͧͧͪ͑̿̑̀r freakin' skull through her eyeball, permanen̪̳̗̠̞̖̫͖̟̪͈̹̲̞͚̪̦͌ͤ̂͛̍ͥ̉ͦ̎͒̚͝ͅtly blinding that creepy ass lizard bitch in the eye! And you take a nice chunk out of her diseased brain as well.

She wildly tries to fry you with a fireball, but with black blood and guts gushing from her eye socket, well... let's see.

Anxia rolls 95%, hit! 2 points of damage, +2 (you canno̴͇̲̞̭͔ͨͤ͑ͦ͘t grasp the true nature of this Abyssal force) - 2 from Enigma Berry hijinx = 2 points of damage!
Lillian: 8HP Remaining

Oh wow, despite carving up her eye and brain like a jack o' lantern, she still gets a nasty fireball, toasting your bunny behind a little. But as the living advertisement for Enigma Berries, you manage to brush off most of that burning and put o̴͇̲̞̭͔ͨͤ͑ͦ͘ut the fire. Maybe that'll scar nicely!

You then̶̗̼̲̪͂͛̆̽̌̎́̈̏͋̀̚͠ charge back in, going from Anxia's hę̴̭̩̞̳̻ͣͧͧͪ͑̿̑̀ad this time! Or maybe the other eye!

Lillian rolls 10% Oh, but you whiff!
Anxia: 2HP Remaining

She quickly jumps out of the way! Well, she may be half-blind an̶̗̼̲̪͂͛̆̽̌̎́̈̏͋̀̚͠d a little dumber now, but she doesn't seem to be totally wrecked!

She then attacks back, spitting fire everywhere at you!

Anxia rolls 14%, whoops!
Lillian: 8HP Remaining

No, no, wait, she totally misses you because she can barely see with all the blood on her face and she might have forgotten what day it is. Yeah. So she blows fire in the wrong direction and it's actually quite comical.

You decide to end her stupidity and give her another round of jabbing! Nay ya, take that!

Lillian rolls 48! Slammin'! 2 poin̶̗̼̲̪͂͛̆̽̌̎́̈̏͋̀̚͠ts of +2 from Obsidiant Dagger = 4 damage!
Anxia: -2HP Remaining

SQUISH! You pop her other ę̴̭̩̞̳̻ͣͧͧͪ͑̿̑̀ye like a grape and yep, once again, the dagger rams through her eye socket and cleaves up the other half of her brain. Eww! You put your bunny foot to her face, and push downward to yank the dagger back out of her skull. Eww, out co̴͇̲̞̭͔ͨͤ͑ͦ͘mes the chopped up eye bits and the optic nerve with it!

LILLIAN WINS! Anxia the Charmander has been SLAUGHTERED by the Emissaries!

Lillian has gained $145SP$!

Old Lace, sorry, but you don't even get a copy of our homę̴̭̩̞̳̻ͣͧͧͪ͑̿̑̀ game to play with your friends and family.

With Anxia really dead bę̴̭̩̞̳̻ͣͧͧͪ͑̿̑̀yond dead, you head to Madder's body, and then̶̗̼̲̪͂͛̆̽̌̎́̈̏͋̀̚͠ use your Sitrus Berry to revive him. After you squish that berry into Madder's mouth via reaching awkwardly under his silly baggy Pikachu costume, he slo̴͇̲̞̭͔ͨͤ͑ͦ͘wly comes to and remembers all the things he wants to kill here.

Madder the Mimikyu has been rescued by Lillian the Lopunny! Celebrate with beer an̶̗̼̲̪͂͛̆̽̌̎́̈̏͋̀̚͠d Hot Pockets!

Old Lace, well, he would have liked to party, but oh well. Better luck n̶̗̼̲̪͂͛̆̽̌̎́̈̏͋̀̚͠ext time!
