Hey!" Snivy jabs them as they giggle together. Snivy swallows their remaining food in one bite like a python. "Alright, you ready to blow this popsicle stand?" It was fun. The colors were a little bright for me, but the aesthetic was cute. I really liked the floors; they made the battles a lot less painful. But wow, those battles, right? There were swarms of those little things! Ugh, I can still feel them nibbling me...... Did... Did you like the battles, Snivy?"

The sun sets, and Jamie settles into their sleeping bag with Snivy hugged tight to their chest. They nuzzle their plushie friend. "Goodnight Snivy. I hope you don't mind being a teddy bear tonight." They pull the sleeping bag over themself and relax...Well, at least the pair wouldn't have been alone if they'd both been caught. This place actually looks pretty fun; it's a whole playground, with slides and swings and play structures, wild pokemon all around playing with their toys! The pair marches forward, ready to finish off this dungeon before any more wild pokemon could find them. Last time they had made the mistake of resting too long, leading to a defeat that left them with lingering static electricity. They peek around a corner, and find a long hallway filled with... teddy bears, sitting all along the hall. After a few years of exploring together, Team Playmates got a bit bored of normal mystery dungeons; they were interesting and fun, but after so many dungeons, they stopped feeling the thrill, the risk, the danger that had made their adventures so exciting! And so, the team started seeking out... cursed dungeons. Cursed dungeons, aside from the thunder and lightning that came whenever someone said the name, have one very special property: If you're defeated inside the dungeon, you'd be subject to some kind of penalty. The penalties were typically mild to moderate inconveniences that lasted a day or two, sometimes up to a week if they were especially mild; a water dungeon could leave you so wet that no towel can dry you, a swamp dungeon could make you stink or even fall mildly ill, or a desert dungeon could make you uncomfortably warm so that you can't use a comfy blanket at night! Nothing serious, but unpleasant enough to give a feeling of threat, and the dungeons were just difficult enough to force explorers to take them seriously.

Snivy reaches the end and takes cover around a corner. Jamie runs for their life from the army of plushies, but just as they reach the end, they trip and tumble along the soft mat, leaving them vulnerable! As a barrage of lasers closes in on them, a pair of vines reach out and yank them to safety!The munchlax's eyes go wide at the sight of Snivy, and with a closer look at the dragonite, Jamie sees why; Snivy's plush body is much more detailed in design than the dragonite, or any of the plushies scattered around. The munchlax reaches for Snivy, but Jamie pulls them away! Jamie shakes their head and smiles. "You really ought to be more careful. Unless you want this dungeon to do... whatever it does to you."

As Jamie walks toward the bright room ahead of them, the heart, they think about how much worse this penalty would've been if they both got caught; thrown out of the dungeon and left on the ground, alone in the wilderness. Forced to just lie there, waiting for it to wear off. The boredom, the discomfort, the solitude- Oh! Snivy grabs Jamie's hand and leads them out of the tent. "Don't worry about it Mudkip, let's just get moving. The dungeon awaits us~!" Jamie and Snivy collapse into a heap, panting for breath. "Are we... safe..?" Snivy says between breaths. Jamie pokes their finger into the teacup. Nothing. They pour it on their hand(foreleg). Nothing. They take a sip. It's a nice hot cup of tea, with a gentle, pleasant flavor. It definitely tastes like tea, which is weird, because Jamie has never tried tea. They shrug and start to pour themself a refill, but they notice Snivy, still sitting in a chair that's too big for their plush body. "Would you like some tea, Snivy?" they ask, knowing full well Snivy can't answer. They feel stupid and silly about it, but being stupid is fun sometimes.Yeah, I was! What was the big idea, treating me like some toy!? I am your teammate, and I demand that you treat me with respect for my dignity." Huh." Jamie wonders for a moment if Snivy is conscious in there, before deciding that yes, they probably are. Otherwise, this dungeon's 'penalty' would just be a good night's sleep. But trapped in a stuffed animal, unable to move or talk? That's pretty brutal. Especially for Snivy. "Well, uh, I'm going to carry you out of here now." They put Snivy in the bag, but that feels wrong, so they make sure to leave Snivy's head poking out.

Snivy smiles. Which is what they've been doing for the past 30 minutes straight, but that's not the point. This time, Snivy responds! In a voice that sounds a lot like Jamie talking out of the corner of their mouth in a high-pitched tone. "Oh yeah, they were intense! Those magby really knew how to turn up the heat!"The sleeping bag is suddenly cramped, and Jamie and Snivy stare wide-eyed at each other, still wrapped in a hug. Snivy throws their hands in the air! "Ha HA! Freedom at last! Gosh, that was almost as bad as the curse that made us really tired all the time. I wanna MOVE!!" Snivy wiggles out of the sleeping bag and jumps to their feet! "Yes- w-whoa!" They immediately lose their balance and fall on their butt. They throw their hands up again. "I'm free!" The next day, rather than being roused by Snivy's morning routine, Jamie wakes up on their own. It's a quiet, peaceful morning, the kind they usually have in the human world, or when Snivy sleeps in after staying up too late. For a moment they wonder why it's so quiet, before remembering the plushie in their arms. They give Snivy a sleepy squeeze. "G'morning Snivy. Sleep well?" Uuugh, let's at least eat breakfast first. And do some sparring! And play tag! Let's run and fight and MOVE! It was sooo boooring just sitting there listening to you do that awful impression of me." Jamie relaxes in the playground awhile, recovering from the dungeon's trials. They give Snivy more tea as well, but only the occasional sip; they have no idea if Snivy even likes the tea, after all, but it feels wrong to leave them out. Eventually, they get up, put Snivy in the bag (head peeking out), and leave the lively dungeon. Jamie sips from their water bottle. "Well, this has been the most... colorful trial we've ever faced. Even more than Prism Mountain."
