Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-1005186-20180423123449

You are an up and coming trainer, not long ago you turned eighteen and began your journey/quest to fight, capture, and train monster girls. In your relatively short career you have captured and trained quite a number of Mamono and challenged gym leaders for their badges. Of course things were hardly easy, a good number of your Mamono protested being kept inside of tiny balls attached to your belt (and a few of the snarkier ones crack enough ‘tiny balls’ jokes to last a lifetime) and it took considerable effort to train some of your girls to be battle worthy. But with the proper motivation and rewards after victories (i.e. sex) you have managed to defeat the gym leaders of your region and have gained the eight gym badges necessary to ensure the obedience of your monster girls and join the ranks of the greatest trainers.

…but that is not enough for you.

You desire to claim the title of ‘Master trainer’ and to do that you will need to face the elite trainers.

However there is one thing you have to do before challenging these elite trainers: add a dragon-type mamono to your lineup.

Fortunately, it looks like the goddess of luck is smiling down on you today, as the town you’ve arrived in has had numerous sighting of dragon-types to choose from.

Guards patrolling the northern border reported seeing a Dragon flying near the mountains to the north. No doubt this proud Mamono uses one of the mountain caves as her home and were she keeps her treasure hoard. Adding her to your team would be a well-rounded choice and her treasure hoard would mean never having to worry about finances any more.

An old couple in town mentioned that an old Zipangu shrine existed up stream of the rather violent river east of town. Judging by the fact that the rapids are too violent to be natural, you can safely assume that there is a Ryu residing in the old shrine (a rather ornery one judging by how violent the waters are). If you can safely transverse the rapids and capture her, the Ryu’s ‘rite of rainmaking’ would give all your water based Mamono a major boost in battle.

To the West of town lies a massive cliff face that overlooks the ocean. It just so happens that this cliff is a well-known Wyvern roost! If can dare to make the climb and capture one of these sky dragons, you would have an aerial advantage matched by no other trainer. Additionally, because of their temperament, it would be relatively easy to train a Wyvern to FLY you to different destinations, no more having to camp out on the lonely road ever again!

Your uncle passed through this town once in his youth, and learned a thing or two and passed that knowledge on to you. Just south of town there is a small cove called ‘Moon Bay’; if you’re lucky and the light of the full moon shines on the warm summer waters: an Otohime will appear! It would be a truly difficult battle unless you crafty/suave enough to convince her to join you willingly. This beautiful dancing sea dragon would be a formidable magical backbone to any true masters’ team.

Of course, if those options sound like too much of a hike/swim/climb/trek then there are three other options you can choose, but are a little more difficult.

The towns claim to fame was an old gold mine, but last year it was shut down because a Wurm broke into the mining shaft. It would be your most difficult battle to date, but the rewards would be plentiful. The incredible physical power of the earth dragon would be a major game changer, in fact you could say that half of your elite battles would already be won if you managed to capture her. In addition, you would be the town hero for helping to re-open the mine. On the other hand not only would you be fighting the Wurm on her home turf, but if she was as big as they say she is, then the likelihood of you losing and becoming her fuck-toy were very high.

If the dark and dingy mine wasn’t your thing, one of the town guards who looked rather spooked said he saw a drgonic looking mamono stalking around the border of the graveyard/marsh. If it is what you think it is, then you have a chance to capture a rare Dragon Zombie! Such a Mamono would be a very rare find considering that she would have no type disadvantages, but this would make the battle to capture her just that much more difficult. Add in the fact that she has unlimited stamina and the devastating abilities ‘Deathly Breath’ and ‘Rage’, and she could very well be your undoing.

Finally, if none of those seem worth the effort/risk, there is one final option:

While making your way into town, you had witnessed an Alice chasing after a Wererabbit, much to your amusement. Your amusement quickly turned to shock when they both went behind a lone oak standing in the middle of a field and vanished. A quick inspection revels that they didn’t really vanish, but rather entered a portal to Wonderland. This greatly excites you as Wonderland contains some ultra-rare Mamono and, after consulting your Mamonodex given to you by the Wandering Scholar, discover that these portals are guarded by the most powerful dragon of all:

The Jabberwock

No one has ever managed to capture one of the fabled Wonderland dragons before and for good reason: in order to capture her you will need to enter the portal. The risk is that if she likes what she sees, the Jabberwock can close the portal and leave you trapped in Wonderland with her forever. But if you do manage to capture her, then your master hood is assured.

Seven choices, each with different risks and rewards

Which dragon shall you challenge?

And what five Mamono will you take with you (leaving one space open for your new dragon)?
