And finally, with Sinny having wasted most of his questions, and maybe showing just a little bit of disrespect, he is now left with the important choice. Left path? Or right path? Or the other option. Will the team face their doom? Or make it through out of here, together?

(Poll open for votes!)

What is this you may be wondering? Well let me tell you how this works!

Phew, been a while hasn't it? Well I've certainly had a week extra! Had a busy week, yadiyada... anyway, let's continue the show!

And what a show, indeed... and it seems like our Zubat friend is slowly disconnecting from Sinny's ordering around. But! There are important questions to be asked, now that you've helped give him a few hints... let's see what happens next!

Connection Closed!

[Dimensional Connection: Sinny will very likely hear anything in your comments, so long as you put it in quotation marks: "in here" for what you want him to hear. Up to a maximum of 25 words!]

After a bit of convincing, it seems that Sinny has gone for a spin and has established a connection with you all! Allowing you to give any guidance for this riddle! You may write out a comment, and he'll (only) hear anything you write in quotation marks: "", but only up to 25 words! (You may only send one message per account for each comment message)

The amount of upvotes your comment gets will also determine its size and "loudness". Any comments are allowed, but some comments might not be caught for one reason or another, to be sure it goes through, make sure it doesn't break reddit's TOS or the sub's rules (But safe troll comments are allowed!)

[Dimensional Connection has been closed!]
[Here are the results]:

> "Ask Zubat to use echolocation to check for hidden pokemon and exits. And make sure to say please!"

> "third -- Number one, which one would number three says is the truthful one? Number three, which one would number one say is the truthful one?"

> "Be polite as well. Why would anyone want to help you if you're constantly rude to them?"

> "Medium deep dish with pepperoni and jalapeño."

What is this? A 2 (3?) guard riddle! Will the team be able to figure out which way to go through?

After going through the invisible wall as the tablet hinted in doing, Sinny and Croc have a conversation along the way, in pitch black darkness.

So dark in fact, you can't see the screen... >!Totally not because it saved me time making the scene!<. In this walk, what is on Sinny's mind, for him to be acting in such a way?

Looks like Sinny's going to finish that sentence with our first tied vote to boot! Suffice to say, he might've misunderstood what you meant by those words... will he ever quit being a frustrating lil' kibble? Find that out in future chapters!

I decided to use a better way of representing these chapters (Got confusing on some of these). Now polls will always increment the number, and consecutive result posts will go through the alphabet until the next poll is made, more effective that way I think!

For immersion, here's a roleplayed scenario:

A man knocks on your door and begs for your help. "I went over my head!", he said. "I bragged that I could beat this man in a duel. And he accepts the challenge. However I only realized just now that he's a master with 10+ years of experience! Oh please man, you've got to help me!".

He begs that you help teach him, a complete beginner, in the ways of specialized combat. All in the span of 24 hours, before his duel with the swordsmaster begins. What would you do, and how would you teach this man so that he may improve his odds of survival against this opponent, even if only a little bit?

*Image is a thumbnail from one of Shepherd's videos, it's the same gist as this question, except a more extreme example with only having 1 day instead of 7 days. The video of it can be found here.

And with Sinny planning the marching order with their new teammate. It seems that some pokéfacts have been revealed, by none other than the latest comment (by u/jackfuego226)! Let us hope the cindaquil doesn't jump to conclusions about it...

(Poll open!)

Totally real flashbacks of his last encounters with the vengeful Noivern are told, with Zubat being privy to his secrets... yet still stuck up here in the Zubat's home, and his partner is still out there!

Went ham on the gifs this time around! There's plenty to see, I had to in order to conserve it all in under 20 images at once. This should work out hopefully!

With that resolved thought implanted, Zubat very much intends to forgive Sinny! However, it seems like Noivern wasn't quite expecting this outcome... and from there, possibly some backstory narration, for Zubat to be privy to!!

Sinny arrives with quite a landing, and has the opportunity to apologize! However, will our Zubat friend accept this in forgiveness? Poll in your choice to see which one you'd like for the poison/flying type to decide upon!

Uh oh! Looks like an encounter with the "please keep moving on with the plot or this enemy that's too strong for them is going to catch up" pokémon, leads on with heat, and a discovery on who has been following them all this time!

And so apologizing to the zubat they shall! Sinny may be redirecting a bit of the blame here... but at the very least they'll be going back! However, having been followed, turning back only allowed the one following them to catch them...! (And no; Jack Fuego 226... there are NO time-related plotholes in my grand design involving this terrible encounter! Get outta here! /s)

With Sinny having "heard you out", not before getting himself pre-maturely knocked out. A few important choices are presented before him, specifically on the popular suggestions you've given to him in mind. Some of the information, might not seem like was exactly acknowledged by him, but at the very least he seems to consider these options now. So then, what to do...?

For this, you may write out a comment, and he'll (only) hear anything you write in quotation marks: "", but only up to 25 words! (You may only send one message from one comment)

The amount of upvotes your comment gets will also determine its volume. So the more upvotes, the louder it will be for Sinny, and therefor more likely to hear and internalize it! This will last until I say so! (Max 1 or 2 days, will leave a comment here or something for it).

Naturally, sending messages across an entirely different dimension is no small feat! Some messages might not even be heard, even with his special ability (I might miss some of your comments, and I will ignore any overly derogatory/racist comments and any other comment that would break the sub's or the platforms rules. However, "troll" comments are allowed. I may regret it... but let's see how that would go first!)

(No votes! Comment what you want Sinny to hear, here!)

Do something normal, you say! It seems that Sinny interpreted that differently than what most of you would normally have assumed! At the very least, there shouldn't be any dire consequences for just a zubat, is there...?

Sinny and Croc are left continuing forward along the path, the flickering firelight ahead no longer visible after their last confrontation. Not ominous at all! Likewise, things appear to be calm, as they're just walking ahead. But still with a lot on their minds.
