J-Awesome_One Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 When we got inside of the mansion, we were astounded at how great the place looked. We knew it was gonna look good but not that good. Venam: Good grief… Would you take a look at this place? Matthew: This place is… awesome. Luca: This place is very fancy… Maybe we can find something here. Matthew: Are you still on that Luca? Sheesh. Lenny: We’re not gonna loot the place Luca. Luca: But why not? They’re the ones who came here into our turf. It’s only fair if we collect rent. Matthew: I’m pretty sure stealing isn’t the same as collecting rent. Lenny: Plus we don’t even know who lives here! This could be the home of some terrorist organization or something! Matthew: Dude, I get that you’re worried and that’s fine but now you’re going overboard. Calm yourself. Venam: Seriously! You’re starting to annoy the hell out of me! Stop complaining or go home by yourself! Lenny: Ugh! Alright. Fine. I’ll go along with this but don’t come crying to me when- ???: Who’s there?! All of us heard someone shout that. We looked around the room but couldn’t see anyone. Then the door closest to us started to shake and the door handle turned. A man came out of it looking severely pissed off. He was dressed all in proper clothing and had brown hair. ???: You insolent pests! And just what exactly are you 4 doing in my mansion? Matthew: We were just uhh- Lenny: E-Excuse me sir. We got lost trying to get home and… stumbled across this place? ???: Stumbled upon? No. You hooligans deliberately passed through both LOCKED gates and broke into my home! That is far from stumbling upon. You 4 came here for a reason. Luca: Alright. Listen up dude. We’re here to collect rent bub. You can’t just move into our turf without telling us and without payin’. How’d you build this place in the sewers without anyone noticing? ???: Sewer? Rent? What are you going on about you blathering idiot? Matthew: I’m telling you all that this isn’t the sewers. I mean hell. You could see the sky outside! ???: I have no idea why you 4 are here but I’m ordering all of you to leave now. You should all be grateful that I am feeling extraordinarily merciful today. Venam: We’re not leaving. You’re on my property and I demand to be paid for it. Matthew: Are… Are none of you listening to me?! ???: So be it. The consequences are on you. Venam: Hmph… What’s your name anyway? Indriad: My name is Indriad. Indriad Theolia. And I guarantee that none of you will forget that name. Lenny: W-Why’d he say it like that? Venam: Quiet down Lenny. So Mr. Theolia, we have a lot of things to discuss. Indriad: We do. We certainly do. Tell me. Have any of you heard of the Dual Prophecies? Matthew: Wait… The Dual Prophecies? You don’t mean the Light and Dark- Indriad: Ahh. So you do. That’s… a little odd though. Venam: Why’s that? Indriad: They’re written in an ancient language that almost no 1 should be able to read. Even though you seem to know them, I shall explain anyways. They both go hand in hand. In the prophecy of light, the world is in paradise. In the prophecy of darkness, the world is in utter despair. Luca: Ok? What’s the point of telling us this? Sounds like a bunch of rubbish? Matthew: Luca… Quiet. Venam: Matt? Indraid:… In the prophecies, there is mention of 8 people. 4 Lights, 4 Darknesses. Venam: That’s pretty cliche. So lemme guess. They’re chosen heroes and villains? Indriad: Not chosen. Only ones that fir the description. It does not necessarily mean 1 individual. Luca: And that description is? Indriad: Irrelevant. That’s all I have to tell you 4 for now. Matthew: No! Tell us the descriptions! Indriad: Quiet! You may learn… But for now, since you all refuse to leave, I’m afraid that I’ve taken drastic measures to see that you all do not escape. Venam: Escape? The hell do you mean? Indriad: As this conversation went on, my lovely servants have locked both gates and blocked all passageways in between. Lenny: Y-You’re trapping us here? Indriad: Trap? No. I gave you a choice to leave and you decided to not listen to me. I said the consequences were on you. Matthew: So then you talking about all of that prophecy stuff was just a distraction. Indriad: Indeed. Venam: Whatever man. You think we’re just gonna give up because you locked up some gates? If we have to resort to violence, the violence there shall be. Matthew: Venam! Watch what you’re saying will ya?! This isn’t the time to be threatening someone! Indriad: Do you think I’m ignorant? Fine. If that’s the way you want to play the game, then I’ll cheat. Luca: Cheat? What do you mean ch- Indriad: Maids! Instantly, maids were teleported next to each of us. We had no idea how they did that or where they came from. Indriad instructed them to take us away somewhere and that we’d be needed for some kind of ceremony. 1 by 1, Venam, Luca and Lenny were taken away. But when it was my turn, he stopped the maid. It seemed as though he was going to tell me something but decided not to and had the made teleport me somewhere. I had no idea where I was. Everything was just pure darkness. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t make a noise, I couldn’t even really breath but I was still alive. Suddenly, I felt myself move super fast and in an instant, I was standing in a room. I had no clue where I was now. When I looked in front of me, I saw a little girl standing there looking at me. I yelped a bit and jumped back. I wasn’t expecting someone to be there. I didn’t know who this could be. ???: H-Hey. Are you feeling ok? Matthew: W-W-What happened? Where am I? ???: Well you’re talking so I assume you’re fine. You’re still in the mansion. Matthew: So I’m still in danger then… ???: Listen to me. I’ve completed your trial and freed you. Matthew: Trial? Freed me? ???: There’s no time to explain! If you’re smart, you’d leave now! Matthew: What? But… I can’t. ???: You have to! I don’t know why you even came here in the 1st place! Matthew: Well I mean my friends made me. ???: Ohh boy. If father found out that I rescued you… He would do terrible things. Now just get out of here ok? I’m going back to my room. Matthew: Wha- Wait! The little girl was already out of the room though. I felt like I could trust this girl because she was adamant about me leaving this place. But I knew that I couldn’t. I had to somehow save Venam, Luca and Lenny from this place. I went to the door and slowly opened it. I checked to make sure there weren’t any maids or that Indriad guy out in the halls. I checked all the rooms that were unlocked to see if I could find anyone. Unfortunately, most of them were locked. I finally found a door unlocked and sneakily went in. But luckily, it was that little girl’s room. She turned around when she heard me close her door. ???: What?! Why are you in my room? Matthew: I’m sorry. I was just trying to find my friends. I’m trying to rescue them. ???: Your friends huh? Unfortunately, I don’t know what I can do about them… They’re not anywhere inside the mansion. They’re probably located somewhere in the crypts. Matthew: The crypts? Sweet. ???: No. Not sweet. Matthew: Why not? ???: Going there would basically blow your cover… Matthew: Maybe so but I need to save them. ???: No. It’s a stupid idea. Just take the chance and get out of here! Matthew: That’s… That’s insane. I could never abandon my friends. If I were in their situation, they’d do anything to save me. I’m not giving up on them. ???: I… I see… I suppose… it would be better to confront my father rather than sneaking around under his nose. Matthew: Confront him? Are you serious? ???: Hmm… It’s decided! I’ll help you get your friends back ok? Matthew: You will? But what about your father? Won’t you get in trouble for helping me? ???: Probably but there’s also no way you can get around the manor by yourself anyways… Even I wouldn’t be able to do this by myself. So we’ll team up, find all your friends and get out of here! Matthew: Great! Thanks little girl. Err… What’s your name? Marianette: Huh? Ohh! How silly of me! I apologize. My name is Maria… nette. Marianette. Matthew: Ok Marianette. Are you sure you can help me though? Marianette: Hey! I may only be 10 years old but I can get things done if I have help! Matthew: I wasn’t implying anything but ok. I believe you. Marianette: So if we’re gonna go to my father, we have to go to his room. It’s the very top floor of this mansion. Matthew: Alright. Let’s go then. I have some things I wanna- Marianette: Uhh… I think it’d be better if I do the speaking ok? Matthew: But… Well I suppose I’ll let you do it. Marianette: Good! Don’t worry. I’ll figure something out. EEEEEE YAY! Matthew and Matthew! Teaming up to take down the forces of evil! Hehe… Matthew: Shh! You don’t want to alert your father or maids before we make it up there do you? Marianette: Ohh! Whoops… Sorry. This girl might have been a handful but I somehow felt safer with her around. That felt awkward though. I felt safer in a house with a 10 year old girl joining me. We exited her room and made our way upstairs. When we were gonna go into her fathers room though, a maid was there. She wouldn’t allow us to proceed through. Marianette: Excuse me but I would like to speak to my father. Maid: Your father isn’t seeing guests at the moment. Matthew: Guests? This is his damn daughter. What do you mean guests? Maid: Sorry but that even goes for you too Marianette. Marianette: Isn’t there anything we can do to let you allow us through? Maid: Well… I suppose there’s 1 thing you can do. Matthew: Yea? And what’s that? Maid: Complete my trail and I’ll let you through. Marianette: Ugh. I should have known. You maids are all the same. Well let’s hear it then. What’s your trial? Maid: I would like the both of you to find another maid somewhere in the mansion. She’s been slacking off recently and it’s time for her to fix up her act. If she doesn’t… Well, let’s just say she won’t be around much longer. Master Indriad would not be pleased. Marianette: Fine. We’ll find this maid for you. Marianette pushed me down away from the maid as if she wanted to talk to me alone. I could see the fear in her eyes. Matthew: Hey. What’s wrong? Marianette: Matt… I don’t know how to explain this exactly but… the maids here in the mansion seem to have some similarities with my father… My father… He loves to put me through these trails as if they were mini-games. Matthew: Are you serious?! That’s fucked up. Why does he do that to you? You’re his daughter? Marianette: I’m not sure… Some of these trials I’ve went on got incredibly… dangerous. Matthew: So we have to be careful. Marianette: Yes. Also, if we want any kind of help from these maids, they’ll probably ask us to complete a trial 1st. Matthew: I’m really sorry that things are that bad for you here. Marianette: It’s ok. T-That’s just the way things are around here… A world full of neverending games… Matthew: Marianette… I could see the sadness in the little girls eyes. She couldn’t stay here. I wouldn’t allow it. But I couldn’t say anything now. I kept it to myself for the time being. The 2 of us began our search for this maid. Luckily for us, it didn’t take too long to find her. She was sitting on a couch. Maid: What’s this now? Marianette: Hey… Do you happen to know the maid guarding my father’s room? Maid: Perhaps… Matthew: Well it’s time for you to stop slouching or else you ain’t gonna be here long… apparently. Maid: Is that so? But why does that concern you 2? Marianette: She won’t let us through unless we get you to return to your post. Maid: Ohh… I see… A trial then is it? Matthew: Yes. Why? You going to give us 1 too? Maid: As a matter of fact, yes. Matthew: What? But I was just joking. Marianette: Like I said Matthew, they all do this. So what is your trial? Maid: Teehee. Smart girl. I lost something somewhere out on the courtyard… If you can find it for me, I’ll mark my trial as complete. Thus I shall return back to my post and you’ll be able to talk to Indriad… Matthew: Fine. What did you lose? Maid: I lost my precious bracelet that Indriad gave me a long time ago… It’s so important to me… So important that I haven’t been able to complete anything. Marianette: Then I suppose we’ll have a look then… We left the room and entered the courtyard area to search for the bracelet. I was getting annoyed with all of these stupid trials. They were getting annoying. We eventually found the bracelet and returned back to the maid. Matthew: Here’s your bracelet back? Maid: Ohh dear… Oh my… Could it be? Yes. This is indeed the bracelet I lost. Matthew: Alright. Good. Trial complete. Let’s go upstairs Ma- Maid: Actually, I have 1 more trial for the 2 of you. Marianette: What?! But you already gave us a trial! Maid: Sorry, not sorry. But this is more of a solo trial. Your name. It’s Matthew right? Matthew: Yea? Why? Maid: I sense a great power emanating from you. You’re absolutely glowing. I wonder. Could this just be inner potential? Or perhaps it’s something much deeper than that? Either way, I’m curious… Matthew: Ok… You’re kind of creeping me out her. What is it already? Maid: A battle. Matthew: Wait. Really? Maid: Mhm. Matthew: Well would you look at that. A trial I can actually get behind. Fine. Let’s do this. I need to release some pent up frustration anyways. The battle between us started. I was into the battle more than usual because it was helping me stress out. When the match came to an end, I stood there the victor. The maid seemed really impressed. Maid: Oh dear… That power is quite remarkable. Matthew: Well I mean I guess but- Maid: But that’s not what I saw before. No. What I saw… was something with even more untapped potential. Matthew: What do you mean? Maid: I can’t tell you. You’ll find out on your own. But a deal’s a deal. Even though I hate it. I will return to my post and continue working. That should fulfill your trial with the maid upstairs right? Marianette: Yes. Thank you. Maid: Well have fun I guess. Don’t die to Indriad. -leaves the room- Matthew: Don’t die to Indriad? Would he really kill you? Marianette: I wouldn’t put it past him. Matthew: I can’t believe he would do that to his own daughter. Marianette: Yea… It’s horrible… But come on. We should get to his room. Now remember. Let me do most of the talking when we get there. Matthew: Alright. I trust you. The 2 of us started to make our way upstairs. The maid we saw before blocking the way to Indriad’s room was no longer there. We went through the door and continued to follow the hallways until we were outside of his room. But as soon as we were about to go inside, Marianette backed away slowly. I didn’t know what was going on with her. Matthew: Marianette? Marianette: I’m sorry Matthew. I’m just… scared. Matthew: Hey hey. It’s ok. I’ll be there with you. Marianette: I know but… is this such a good idea. Matthew: What’s wrong? Marianette: I’m just afraid of the consequences. Of what could happen if this doesn’t go as planned. I’m overthinking I suppose… I just… Matthew: It’s ok to be scared. I get it. I would be too if he was my father. Marianette: I remember the 1 time I did this. I spoke up to him once and that… It… Matthew: What? What happened? Marianette: It left me with a bruise on my arm. Matthew: He did that to you? Marianette: Yea… I’m alright now though. Matthew: I’m not sure if I should let you in now Marianette. Marianette: No no! I’m good now! Plus, I have you with me Matthew. You’re strong and you can protect me… Not to sound like I’m using you for defense… Matthew: It’s fine really. If you feel scared though, you can hide behind me. Marianette: You sure? Matthew: Mhm. We’re friends after all. Marianette: Thanks Matt… I really shouldn’t think about this too much though. Let’s go in… together. The 2 of us entered Indriad’s room. He was just standing there with his back turned towards us. Marianette stood beside me but her fear must have gotten the better of her because she hid behind me as soon as she heard her father grunt. Indriad: Honestly Marianette? You come this far just to hide behind a lowly prisoner? Even you cannot be that horribly distasteful. Matthew: For 1, I am no one’s prisoner. And 2, I don’t blame her for being scared. You treat her horribly and- Marianette: N-No… I can do this Matthew. -walks up beside him- Father, we wish to speak to you on the status of Guzma’s companions. Indriad: Well that’s obvious. What other reason would you have to come here and bore me? Matthew, You have no 1 to blame but yourself. Matthew: What do you mean? Indriad: I gave you and your friends a chance to leave my house voluntarily but you chose the stubborn route. Or rather, you had that route chosen for you… Isn’t that more accurate? Matthew: While that maybe true, I don’t care. What I care about is how you’re treating your daughter and- Indriad: You’re no father. You have no right to tell me how to raise my child. Matthew: Why you- Marianette: Matthew… Please… Matthew:… Fine. Marianette: We want you to free the other 3 father. Indriad: And why in the world would I do such a thing?They’re my property now and that’s just how it’s going to be. You freed Matthew from their prison. Is that not enough for you? You selfish girl. Leave Matthew. Or are you going to choose the stubborn road again? Matthew: Leave them? I’d never leave them. I- Marianette:… Fine. If that’s how you want to be father. I can choose myself too. How about we play a little game? Matthew: A… game? Indriad: A game you say? Hmm. Interesting. And what would this game entail? Marianette: If Matthew and I can find and free the others, you’ll let us go. Indriad: And what do you mean by “us”? Marianette: Us as in I am including myself in this game. I no longer wish to stay here at the mansion. Indriad: Ok. And what happens if you 2 are to lose this game? Marianette:… You can do whatever you wish. You get to choose what you get. I couldn’t believe what she just said. That if we lost that this man could do anything he wants to not only her but me and my friends as well. At the same time though, I knew that this was probably our only best shot at escaping this place. Matthew:… Not that you care what I say most likely but I agree to the terms as well. Indriad: Ahh. I was not expecting you to agree. Fascinating. And you Marianette. Your determination is quite impressive. It… reminds me of your mother. But unfortunately for both of us, we had her snatched away from us. Which 2 people in this room have witnessed… Matthew: So… do you accept? Indriad: Fine. I accept your terms. If you 2 are to successfully win this game, you will all leave… together. And, being the gracious man that I am, I’ll leave you with a hint. In all 3 corners of this mansion, I have hidden 3 souls in plain sight. Only with the completion of these trials will they emerge from their slumber. Marianette:… Thank you father. We’ll be going now. The 2 of us exited his room. I felt a bit calmer now that we had a chance at saving Venam and the others. But when I looked at Marianette, she seemed troubled. Matthew: Marianette? Marianette: No… But why? Matthew: What is it? Marianette: Matthew, I know my father… That was way too easy… Just way too easy… Matthew: So what are you saying? That he’s not gonna let us go then? Marianette: I don’t know… Maybe I’m just overthinking it. It could have been because I gave him freedom to choose his reward if he won, but… No… No, something abut that conversation just gives me the absolute chills… I can’t… Listen to me Matthew. Even if we win, he’ll never let us go. Matthew: So then what was the point of that whole conversation with him for? Marianette: I-I’ll think of something… But we have to win this game no matter what Matthew. Matthew: Well at the very least, it seems we have free roam of the mansion and I don’t have to worry about being captured again. What do we do 1st? Marianette: Hmm… Well father said that he hid your friends within the 3 corners of the mansion. To the left, there’s a hedge garden. To the right, there’s a poolside. And to the south, there’s the gates and statue with the Dual Prophecies. We’ll need to investigate all 3 of these places. But don’t worry. I’m not afraid anymore! Matthew: Hmm. I’m glad you’re not anymore. We’ll win no matter what. Marianette: Yea! I’m gonna help you win! I mean, I have to… If we don’t win, we’ll… we’ll… Matthew: Hey. Let’s not focus on the not winning part because we’re gonna win this. Right? Marianette: Uhh yes. Yes! Let’s just focus on your friends. Lead the way Matthew.

TIME SPENT IN AEVIUM Spoiler 1 Week & 4 Days QUESTION OF THE THREAD Spoiler Question Of The Thread #21 - What are your thought on Indriad and Marianette? My Answer - I like Marianette and I feel bad that she has to live with her crazy father. Now Indriad… While I do dislike him, I like how he hints at something that won't happen til later in the game. If you don't know what I mean, when he talks about Anathea being taken away, he says that 2 people in the room witnessed it. We see it later on in the game. That's just really awesome. So glad I caught onto that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Awesome_One Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 The 2 of us went running down to the ground floor and we were just about to go outside to find these crypts but a maid standing by the table spotted us and called us over. Maid: Why it’s you 2. What are you both doing around the manor? It’s very unusual for Indriad to have… guests. Matthew: Again with that? Anyways, Indriad gave us a trial and we’re trying to complete it so we can save my 3 friends. So if you don’t mind- Maid: Wait. 3? Only 3? Matthew: Yea? I had 3 other people here with me. Maid: Ohoho… Interesting… Very interesting indeed. Matthew: What is she going on about? Marianette: I’m not entirely sure. Maid: This is perfect. I’ll give you my own trial as well. Marianette: But we’re already- Maid: This 1 is entirely up to you whether you want to complete it or not though. Matthew: Well… Alright. What is it? Marianette: Really? Matthew: Yea. It might be useful and maybe we can find out more stuff. Marianette: True… So what’s the trial? Maid: 3 maids have been scattered across the area. Find them and defeat them in battle. When all 3 maids are defeated in battle, your trial will be complete. Your reward will be made clear after it is complete. Matthew: Another trial I don’t mind doing. Fine. We accept. Marianette: Yea! That’ll be easy to do I think… We figured that the maids had to be in the same areas where my friends were at. We 1st decided to check the courtyard. As we started to check the courtyard, we heard a Pokemon cry. As we got closer to a bunch of tree, the cries got louder and louder. We soon saw who the Pokemon was. It was a Liepard. It seemed to be trying to hide from something or someone. Most likely the maids. Marianette: Ohh this poor Liepard… Matthew: What’s wrong with it? Marianette: My father and the maids have tried to sacrifice this Liepard many times before. Matthew: Sacrifice it?! Marianette: Mhm. Luckily though, it’s been able to get away every time. But I think it’s really afraid of them. Marianette cautiously went over to the Pokemon. Liepard tried to back up more but it couldn’t. Marianette reached out her hand to pet it. The Pokemon clenched its eyes shut, fearing that it was going to be harmed in some way. But when it felt her just petting it, it slowly opened its eyes. When it realized it wasn’t going to be harmed, it relaxed a bit. It seemed happy now. I wanted to pet it too so I walked over and started to pet its head. It seemed like it hadn’t been happy in forever. I was glad I was able to make this Pokemon happy. Suddenly, the 3 of us could hear noises coming from behind us. I turned around and right there, standing in front of me, was a maid. Maid: Ahh. Liepard. It’s time to be sacrificed once and for all. Liepard: Lie! Liepard! Matthew: Hold on there… Are you 1 of the maids then maid in the house said I’d have to battle? Maid: Yes I am. Matthew: Good. I’ll make you a deal. Maid: A deal you say…? Alright. I’m listening. Matthew: We’ll battle. If I win, you leave the Liepard alone. If you win, you can take both the Liepard and me to be sacrificed. Marianette: Matthew?! What are you doing?! Maid: Interesting… I accept. Matthew: Good. And don’t worry Marianette. I got this. The battle between me and the maid started. She actually had some pretty good Pokemon and for a second, I thought I would lose. Thankfully, I was able to come out victorious. I had not only beaten 1 of the maids but also saved this Liepard. Maid: Fine. I shall leave it alone. -leaves the area- Matthew: Well you’re safe for now Liepard. Liepard: Pard Liepard. -rubs its head up against me- Marianette: They may leave it alone for a while but they will eventually try getting it again. Matthew: Hmm… Lieaprd? Do you wanna come with me? Marianette: That’s a great idea Matt! So do you wanna go with him? The Liepard looked at me, seemingly shocked that I wanted to take it with me to be a part of my team. Its eyes glistened and a smile formed on its face. It jumped up onto me and started licking my face. I took that as a yes. I reached into my bag and pulled out a Fast Ball. I held it out in front of the Pokemon. The Liepard bumped it with its face and went inside. The ball jiggled for a bit and then stopped. Liepard was officially my Pokemon. Marianette: Congratulations on catching a new friend Matt! Matthew: Thanks. Hopefully, it’ll be start to feel more relaxed when we get out of here. Marianette: Come on. We gotta find your friends. Once again, we searched the courtyard for any trace of where my friends could be. When we got to the Absol statue though, there appeared to be a hole there. We went inside. There wasn’t really anything in here except for some lit candles and a mirror. I went up to the mirror but surprisingly, I couldn’t see my reflection. Matthew: What’s up with this mirror? I can’t see my reflection. Marianette: Is this really the only thing in the room though? Matthew: It seems like it. Just then, fog started to come into the area. Marianette and I were both shocked but this sudden fog. We tunred around and were about to head out when we heard a voice. ???: What reflects in a mirror? Matthew: The hell? Marianette: Who said that? ???: What reflects can only be the truth. Let us see if that can be said the same about you. Do you know the truth? Do you want to know? Are you afraid to know? Let us see… Just then, 4 Venams appeared in the room. None of us knew what the heck was going on. They were just standing there though. They didn’t try to attack us or even move. They just stood there. Watching us. Marianette: W-Who is this? Matthew: It’s my friend Venam but… there’s not 4 of them. Top Left Venam: Who cares about anyone. I only care about myself. Everyone else who gets in my way should just disappear! Top Right Venam: If Matthew would’ve been a better trainer, we could’ve done something at Amethyst Cave. But they weren’t… It’s their fault that Melia is gone now. It’s their fault that everything in my life has gone to shit. I can never forgive him for what they’ve done. Bottom Left Venam: We all did our best to save our friend but in the end, it wasn’t enough. We were all too weak to do anything… We were all at fault. There was nothing we could do. Bottom Right Venam: Who cares what Matthew thinks. I let him beat me because it was for Melia’s sake. If I didn’t hold back, we’d lose her… and we did. Ren and I should’ve just left to find her the moment we knew she was in trouble. Now it’s too late. Matthew: What the hell was that about? Is that what she really thinks…? No… No it can’t be. Marianette: Ohh! I think I get what we have to do! Matthew: Alright. So what do we do? Marianette: That voice before said the mirror can only reflect the truth. Whether that means that it can show 1 truth or many truths is another story… I think what you have to do is pick the 1 you believe is true. Matthew: Pick the 1 I believe is true huh? That doesn’t sound hard. Marianette: But that also doesn’t mean there’s no wrong answer… You need to pick the real truth that’s hidden behind lies. Matthew: Alright. Let me think. I had to think about this really carefully. I knew the Top Left Venam was lying because I knew how much she cared for Melia and Ren when we were hanging out. The Top Right Venam was lying because she defended me back in Amethsyt Cave when Zetta blamed me for what possibly happened to Melia. The Bottom Right Venam was lying because she really wanted my help. I could tell by the way she was talking to me when everything was happening. The Bottom Left Venam was the 1 telling the truth. She was upset that we weren’t strong enough to do anything but she wasn’t blaming any of us. Matthew: Alright. The 1 that’s telling the truth is the 1 at the bottom left. Bottom Left Venam: Heh… That’s correct. A bright light filled the room. When I regained my vision, I saw 4 Rens in the room. Marianette didn’t seemed to shock by this. Matthew: What’s going on? I thought I got it right? Marianette: You did but I figured this would happen. We’d be tested more than once. Don’t worry. It’s the same as the previous 1. Matthew: Ok. Top Left Ren: I couldn’t care less about the people who think of me as their “friend.” Friendship is wasted on me. I don’t feel the same way back. I have my own agenda. Top Right Ren: I was sort of happy to know that Melia was on the run. I was sick of her weakness. It only brought me down. Everything that happened to her was absolutely deserved. Bottom Left Ren: What am I doing anything for? Just to waste my time, that’s what. Gearen City is just a hole of nothing of interest. It was a waste of time to even think about moving there. Bottom Right Ren: I care about my friends a whole lot. I was devastated to hear about Melia’s situation. I always have the best intentions, even if the result is skewed. I just want to be there for everyone. The opposite of what my town has done. Again, I thought about this carefully. The Top Left Ren was lying because I could tell he valued all of the friends he had made. The Top Right Ren was lying because he would never be that way towards her. He was really close to her. The Bottom Left Ren was lying because I knew he didn’t think of Gearen City like that. The 1 that was telling the truth was the Bottom Right Ren. I knew he was sad when he heard about Melia. And I could see how he wants to be there for people whenever I was around him. Matthew: Alright. This time… it’s the bottom right. Bottom Right Ren: I’m glad… that you saw the real me. Again, a bright light flashed the room. When my vision got back to normal, there were 4 Aelitas this time. Marianette: This should be the last 1. Matthew: I hope so. Hearing all of this stuff is kind of making me feel a little down. Top Left Aelita: No 1 ever tells me anything…! I feel like I’m absolutely powerless most of the time… I just want to help everyone, ok? That’s my ambition. Top Right Aelita: I feel like my father never loved me… I know he just wanted me gone from the moment I was born. He didn’t do anything to protect me! To protect anyone! Bottom Left Aelita: Sheridan Village is nothing without Sensei. We should all just give up and go our separate ways. In fact… that’s why I was so eager to leave with Matthew. This place was just… a lost cause. Bottom Right Aelita: I found it really helpful that Matthew fought for us at Carotos Mountain. I can just use his power to get things done from now on. I’m sure they won’t mind? Maybe I can convince them to live in Sheridan. This 1 was too easy to see the truth. The Top Left Aelita was the 1 telling the truth. The Eldest was keeping some things from here and probably still is. She tried her damnedest to help out when we were inside of Carotos Mountain. All the other ones just sounded the total exact opposite of her. Matthew: Easy. The 1 telling the truth here is the Top Left 1. Top Left Aelita: A sad truth… But perhaps you can help me overcome it? The 4 Aelitas disappeared. Marianette and I went over to the mirror to see if anything changed. It didn’t look like it did but when I went to touch the mirror, it disappeared, revealing another room. We went inside and in there, we could see a white box of sorts there. It looked like the same 1 I saw when Marianette rescued me. We touched the box. A purple orb floated up above us. When the orb crashed down to the ground, Venam popped up. I was so excited to see her again. Matthew: Venam! Venam: Matthew? What? Where the hell am I? Marianette: Well your soul was trapped by my father. So… Venam: So you and Matthew saved me. Why am I not surprised… Matthew: You could be a little more grateful. Venam: I am grateful Matt. Trust me. I just… I always seem to be getting saved by someone. Marianette: But that’s not a bad thing right? That means other people genuinely care for you. Venam: Yea… but it’s not fair for them. This is my fault anyways. I went too far… again. I always do shit like this. I think about myself all the time without thinking of the consequences. Matthew: Venam… It’s ok. You’re safe now. Marianette: Plus, you can use this as a learning experience… Don’t be so rash and think about things. Venam: I guess you’re right… So where are the others? Matthew: That Indriad dude captured them just like he did to you. Marianette: We’re trying- Venam: Is there any way I can help? Marianette: The best thing you can do right now is to wait in the mansion until Matthew and I are finished. Matthew: And don’t worry about a thing Venam. Me and Marianette got this. You worry about yourself for right now. Venam: I see… Well I’m just going to listen to you this time. I’ll go back and behave until things are settled. Please… stay safe you 2. -leaves the room- Marianette: She’s a sweet girl isn’t she? Matthew: Yea. That’s the 1st time I seen her like that. Marianette: She probably just has a hard time showing that side of her. Matthew: Yea… Maybe… Come on though. We gotta save the other 2. Marianette: Right! We got out of the room and back into the mansion. We headed to the left towards the hedge garden. But while we were about to go more into it, Marianette stopped and just stared at the hedges. Matthew: Marianette? Marianette: Hmm? Ohh. Sorry. Just… this is the hedge maze… Often, my father would hide things here for me to find. Matthew: Like what? Marianette: Toys or anything for me to play with. He never was the type to hand me anything directly. It always had to be through some sort of weird trial. I’m so sick of that word now… “trial.” It implies something that can be overcome. Matthew: I think I’m starting to get sick of that word now too. Marianette: But then again, it’s been like this for so long now. Ever since… that time… Matthew: What are you talking about? Marianette: I’m sorry Matthew… I just can’t talk about it right now. Maybe some other time. I’m sorry for distracting you. We should really go save your friends now. I was worried for Marianette. Whatever happened was really affecting her. We started to try to find our way through the hedge maze. While going through it, we eventually found the 2nd maid I was supposed to face in battle. Just like the previous maid, I came out the winner. We continued our way through the hedge maze until we came across a weird looking door. We opened it and went inside. It looked very similar to where we had freed Venam except this time, there was no fog. The 2 of us touched the box and out came Lenny. He was obviously shaken up and confused. Lenny: Wh-Where am I? Matthew: Calm down Lenny. We saved you. Marianette: Yes. Your soul was trapped by my father… Matthew and I rescued you. Lenny: Th-Thank you! Thank you both so much! I’m going to leave this place immediately. Matthew: Er… Well, about that… Marianette: Unfortunately, you’re not able to leave until we’ve saved everyone. We’re not exactly out of the woods yet. Lenny: W-What?! Well then where do I go?! I can’t stay here! Marianette: You can go stay in the mansion. Matthew: Venam’s already there. We just need to save Luca. Lenny: Alright. I’ll go back to the mansion. Please though… Hurry up. -leaves the room- Matthew: Well that 1 was easier than I thought it’d be. Marianette: Yea. At this rate, we’ll win this game for sure. But we gotta keep on our toes. Matthew: Right! Let’s go! The 2 of us left the building and went back through the hedge maze. We got back inside the mansion and this time went to the right. When we made it outside though, she stopped again and seemed like she was spacing out or something. Matthew: Marianette? Marianette: Huh? Matthew: Are you sure you’re ok? You’ve been like spacing out or whatever. Marianette: Ohh! I’m sorry Matt. Just… I don’t know. A pool area is a place where fun memories should be created. I always read about people having fun with their families. A place where they could be happy. But that wasn’t my reality… Matthew: Well… I’m sorry Marianette. I wish you did have fun family times here. But we can’t stop here. We gotta keep going. Marianette: You’re right. I’m sorry. The 2 of us started to look around the pool area. We found a maid hiding in some bushes. This was the last maid I needed to battle in order to win that other maids trial. We battled and I came out on top yet again. Marianette: Yay! You did it! Should we go back and tell the maid you beat the other 3? Matthew: Umm… We should save Luca 1st and then do that. Marianette: Ok. Hey. I see a building up there. I looked in the direction she was pointing and could see the building she was talking about. We went there and went inside. There was some kind of weird machine. There was a flashing red button on a keyboard. I pressed it to see if anything would happen. A couple of seconds went by but nothing happened. Suddenly, the ground started to shake and we could hear something move outside. We went outside to see what happened. Out on the pool, we could see a platform had emerged going down to a room. We went in but this time, we only found a little hole in the wall. Matthew: What the hell is this? Marianette: A hole? What nonsense is this now? Matthew: Are you telling me that Luca is at the other end of this hole? Marianette: Seems that way. Matthew: Well what now? I can’t go through that. I’m too big. Matthew: Whoa whoa whoa. I don’t know about that. Marianette: How else are we supposed to save her? Matthew: I… I don’t know but this isn’t the best option either. Marianette: If I don’t do this, we’ll lose the game! Matthew: I… Err… -sighs- You’re right. Just be careful ok? Marianette: I will be. Alright. Here I go. Marianette got on her hands and knees and started to crawl through the small hole. I watched her until I couldn’t see her no more. I stood in the room waiting. I was worried about her. What if her father were to try something to hurt her? To even kill her? I didn’t like the thought of that. 10 minutes had gone by and I was getting worried. Suddenly, out of thin air, Marianette and Luca were teleported right in front of me. Marianette: Ohh! Looks like we’re out here now. Matthew: Marianette! Luca! Ohh thank Arceus you’re both safe! Luca: Whaaat just happened? Marianette: I guess father made it so we could get back here… Clearly this girl here wouldn’t fit through the wall. Luca: Urgh! I’m tired of being pulled around like a rag doll! I’m leaving! -leaves the area- Matthew: Well… that was unexpected. Marianette: Yay! We rescued all 3! Matthew: Yea… Yea we did! This is great! We should go back to your dad’s room. Marianette: Yea! Wait. Before you go, I wanna tell you something. This may not make sense but I want you to remember this. Matthew: Ok? Marianette: Password 1 is 7896. Password 2 is 3135. Password 3 is 8187. Matthew: Passwords? Marianette: Mhm. I saw them written on stuff while we were searching for your friends. I memorized it and thought you should know them as well. Matthew: Huh. Thanks. I’ll try to keep them in mind. Let’s go! I went outside and so did Marianette but before we went anywhere, she called out to me. I turned back to her and could see that she seemed guilty about something. Matthew: You ok? Seems like something’s wrong? Marianette: I have something I need to talk to you about. Matthew: Alrighty then. What is it? Marianette: I… I don’t know how to say this without you getting mad at me. Matthew: Marianette, I’m not gonna get mad at you. Marianette:… You promise? Matthew: I double promise. Now what do you need to talk about? Marianette: Well… everything that’s happened is my fault. Matthew: Your fault? How? Marianette: You see… I was the 1 who created those pathways around the fence. Matthew: Hmm… Marianette: You used those holes to get here right? That was my doing. I-If I had never created those ways to escape myself… Matthew: Hey hey. Don’t blame yourself. You didn’t know we’d be stupid enough to try to get here. This is our fault. Not yours. Marianette: But- Matthew: No buts. It’s really not your fault. I promise. And I can understand why you’d try to escape this place. It’s a living hell. Marianette: I’ve tried many times to escape this place and many time I’ve come close. But everytime I almost got away, it was like this force was holding me back. As if I wasn’t meant to leave, despite everything… Matthew: That’s odd. That must be hard for you. Marianette: Yes. And… I have to be honest with you about something else… Matthew: Yes? Marianette: I’ve… I’ve been- Matthew: Using me? Marianette: Usin- What?! Matthew: You’ve been using me right? Marianette: H-How did you know?! Matthew: Well your talk with your dad earlier kind of tipped that off since you included yourself into this trial. But I’m fine with it. Marianette: You are? Matthew: Mhm. I was planning on taking you out of here to begin with. Marianette: Matthew! The little girl ran up to me and gave me a hug. I returned it to her. I didn’t want her to feel bad with what she was doing. We looked at each other with big smiles on our faces. We were about to go off to see her dad when 2 maids teleported in next to Marianette. It seemed that Indriad wanted to see Marianette now for 1 final trial. Before she vanished, she told me to go to the maid who gave us the battling trial. The 2 other maids then told me that I too had 1 final trial as well. The white doors that had been locked this whole time on the 1st floor were now unlocked and I could go inside. The 2 maids then vanished. I went inside the mansion and decided to talk to the trial given maid as Marianette told me to do before she disappeared. Maid: Ahh. It seems you’ve beaten my well trained maids. Very well then. A deals a deal. Matthew: So what’s my reward? Maid: I will open up all the locked doors in the mansion for you. Ahh. Almost forgot. Matthew: Forgot what? Maid: Concerning the door located in your temporary room… You will require more info to progress. Matthew: Ok? And what exactly do you mean by that? Maid: Hehe. You’ll just have to see for yourself. I went back into the room I awoken in and was finally able to go out the door that was locked. It lead outside. There seemed to be some kind of metal door closed shut. No matter how hard I tried to open it, it wouldn’t budge. I looked over and saw a password computer. I remembered what Marianette told me and wrote down the passwords in order she told me. Each time I put a password in correctly though, it would end with a word. When I put all the passwords in, I had the words ICE GUARDIAN ANGEL. I didn’t know what that meant. The door though started to open. But when it did, a rush of cold air came out of it and hit my entire body. Needless to say, I was really damn cold. I carefully went down the steps and started to walk the cold hallway. Once in a while, I could hear a voice. That freaked me out but I pressed on. I made it to the next room and could see a woman with long blue hair standing there. ???: H-How long has it been? A couple of years? Matthew: Wh-What? ???: How is the world now…? Are any of my friends even alive? My precious friends… Vivian… Nymeira… Will I ever know the truth about them? Is that what you enjoy? Seeing me suffer as the thought of the unknown cuts me to pieces? Well? I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t say anything. Mostly because her words were sending chills down my back and I also had no idea what she was talking about. Her tone changed when I didn’t give her any answer. ???: Heh… I see. No answer then… That’s suitable… for you at least. Because once I’m through with you… You will never have to speak again! Indriad! The woman turned around with absolute rage in her face. From out of nowhere, a big thing of ice came crashing right beside me. I was barely able to move out of the way. When the woman saw that I wasn’t Indriad though, she seemed regretful for what she did. ???: Wh-What’s this…? Matthew: Geez lady! What was that for?! ???: I’m so sorry! I thought you were Indriad! Matthew: Well… I can’t blame you for trying to kill him. Even though I wasn’t him. ???: Your face though… It seems familiar… Have I seen you somewhere before? I-I can’t remember… I just can’t… It’s far too cold… Matthew: It really is. So… ???: Come forth. Do not be afraid. I will not harm you. Matthew: -cautiously walks up to her- So… what’s your name? Anju: M-My name? I believe it’s… it’s… Anju. Matthew: You believe it is? Anju: Apologies but I’m having trouble remembering things clearly. Matthew: Well… that’s alright I guess. Anju: Listen, I know we just met but I need to ask you some questions. So please… please just answer them honestly and quickly. Matthew: Uhh… Ok. Anju: How is the world now? Has it been destroyed? Matthew: The world destroyed? No. It’s still intact. Anju: Oh thank Arceus… The world is alright… The world is alright… I thank Arceus for this blessing… for this good news. And what about Sheridan Village? Matthew: Sheridan Village is fine. In fact, I came from there not too long ago. Anju: That’s great news… I am happy. Sheridan would be the 1 place that would survive… I knew it. 1 more question and I beg you to be honest with me on this 1. Matthew: Ok. What is it? Anju: What is the current state of Hiyoshi City? Hiyoshi City? I had never been to that place before nor have I ever heard of such a place. She seemed to think that something was going to happen to it eventually though. I went with my gut feeling and said my answer. Matthew: It’s… been… destroyed… Anju: That’s… Ahh… As I thought. There was no saving that city. There was nothing we could do… We tried our hardest. We tried… But I appreciate you answering my questions truthfully. Matthew: I-It’s no problem. Anju: However, I cannot leave this place yet. Matthew: Why not? Anju:… As much as it pains me and as much as I want to see my son… my friends… my loved ones… I must… stay in order to protect someone. Matthew: I see… I think I understand. Anju: Thank you. But do not leave without taking this. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a pendant and handed it to me. It looked very nice but I didn’t know why she was giving it to me. She asked me if I ever had the chance to show that to her loved ones. They would know that she was alive. Apparently, this was passed down from generation to generation and a symbol for their loyalty and well being. She thanked me. I went to leave her room but stopped before leaving and looked back at her. She gave me a smile and nodded her head yes. I headed out of the area and back into the mansion. I stood in front of the door that I was supposed to go through. I didn’t know what Indriad had planned but I was determined to get passed this “trial” no matter what.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I opened the door and could see a hallway lit by some lit candles. I didn’t feel safe walking down this way but I had no where else to go. I had to go this way. There was another entrance way at the end of the hallway. When I went into the next room, my heart was pounding out of my chest. There was a walkway over a huge chasm. Half way over, I peeked over the edge. I couldn’t see the bottom of the pit. It was just pitch black. I was definitely starting to feel sick so I hurried it up to get to the other side. Again, there was another entrance way. This room was a little more peaceful but I was still uneasy of this place. There were mini waterfalls and grassy areas. There was a maid over to the side. She motioned for me to come over there. I didn’t want to but I had no idea what was about to happen. Matthew: What… is all of this? Maid: Master Indriad has compiled 1 final trial for you. Matthew: Would you mind telling me what that is? I have no clue where I am now and… gah! Maid: Please calm down. Your final trial is a battle. Matthew: Another battle trial? Maid: But not just any battle. This battle will be between you and… Marianette. It felt like someone had just punched me in the guy and then elbowed me in the back. Marianette? Why would her dad want the both of us to battle each other. This didn’t feel right at all. Matthew: B-Battle…? Against Marianette? Maid: That is correct. Matthew: I don’t… I don’t understand. Maid: Master Indriad has also instructed me to give you specific details about Marianette. Matthew: Specific details about her? What are you talking about? Maid: For example, Marianette’s ace Pokemon is Bewear. A Pokemon that found her at a younger age. It wasn’t a direct gift by our Master but it’s allowed for some ungodly reason. Marianette was blessed by Arceus with the move Multipulse. This move’s type is changed by the plate held. Glorious! She has been given the Blessed Field for her match with you. Normal moves hit Ghost and Dark Pokemon with super effective damage. Fairy and Normal moves also have increased power. In addition, Dragon and psychic moves also increase but not as much as the previously mentioned types. Matthew: Wait… The way you’re talking, you make it sound like she’s a… a… Maid: A what? I didn’t answer the maid. I walked up onto the podium. I could see Venam, Lenny and Luca on the left side with Indriad on the right but he looked different. He was wearing weird clothing. It was almost as if he was part of a cult or something. That wouldn’t have shocked me though. He definitely fit the part. Ahead of me was an empty podium but not for long. Marianette came walking down the steps and onto it. She clearly did not seem happy about this. Marianette: …Welcome Matthew… Matthew: Marianette… is he making you do this? Marianette: I… I… After everything we’ve been through, I’ve been instructed that I am to be your final trial. Matthew: No… No! Damn you bastard! Don’t you see she doesn’t want to do this?! Don’t you care at all?! Indriad: Hmph. Of course I do. It’s for that exact reason that I am having her do this. Matthew: Ugh! Marianette: Something that I’ve failed… to mention was that I am an incredibly skilled battler… Venam: A skilled battler? Lenny: Venam, maybe you shouldn’t- Venam: Lenny, shut up! And you! Don’t you dare fuckin’ lie to me! We’re not some objects that are passed around like… well, objects! Marianette: I’m… I’m sorry… I truly am… -sniffs- Indriad: I am tired of hearing your voice girl. You 4 were the ones that put yourselves through all of this. Walking into strangers’ homes can lead to dire consequences, no? I will hear no more from you. Venam: Urgh! You’ve absolutely lost your mind, you… you psychopath! Indriad: Silence. Marianette. Marianette: Yes father… Matthew: Marianette… I just want you to know that… I don’t blame you for this… But I won’t hold back! Marianette: Please don’t Matthew. I won’t… I won’t let this end badly. The match started, albeit a bit slow. We each sent out a Pokemon but we didn’t order an attack. We stood there for about a minute, not saying a thing. Indriad gave Marianette a severe dirty look and she finally called out an order as did I. The battle then truly started. She wasn’t lying when she told me that she was a skilled battler. She was putting up a tough fight. In the end though, I came out winning the battle. The 2 of us returned our Pokemon back to our PokeBalls. We stood there in silence. And then we both started to laugh. I couldn’t tell you why either of us were laughing but we just were. Marianette: … Heh… I’m… happy. Matthew: Heh. Yea… Me too. Marianette: You fought with such strength… such confidence. Matthew: You did as well. Marianette: Well Matthew, you deserve this. Marianette reached into her pocket and pulled out a badge. She whipped it across the room to me and I caught it. Venam was really shocked that she had a badge on her because she didn’t know she was a Gym Leader. Venam: That’s… a badge? Wait. So you’re a- Matthew: Yep. She is Venam. Marianette: That is a symbol of not only my defeat but my gratitude also. Indriad: Well… that certainly was a battle to end all for sure. You have successfully completed my trial. And as such, I’ll allow all 4 of you to leave. Suddenly, the lights went off. I could hear Venam freaking out about the lights. I couldn’t blame her though. I was close to freaking out too. When the lights finally came back on, all 5 of us were on the battlefield. Luca: How the hell did we get here?! Venam: What are we doing on the battlefield?! Matthew: Indriad! What are you doing?! Marianette: Yes father! What is the meaning of this?! Indriad: What? I’m doing what I said I would. I would allow all 4 of you to leave if you were to successfully complete my trial. However, I did not state how exactly you 4 were going to leave. Whether it be to leave this mansion alive or leave this realm entirely… It’s 1 and the same to me. Lenny: So what are you saying!? Marianette: Y-You’re going to sacrifice us?! Luca: Sacrifice?! What do you mean?! Matthew: Damn it Indriad! Stop this right now! Marianette: Hold on… This battlefield… is just 1 giant alter… Matthew: What?! Indriad: Ohh? So you just noticed? Well, I shouldn’t be surprised. You weren’t 1 to notice such obvious things anyway. Not that it will matter anyway. Marianette: You always… do this to me… No matter what I do… It always ends up like this in 1 way or another… Matthew: Are you for real right now Indriad?! You’re going to sacrifice your daughter?! Indriad: She failed her trial. This is her punishment. Venam: Fuck you and fuck your trials! Get us out of here! Marianette: What… did I just remember…? Indriad: Enough of this. You’ve all suffered enough. Let’s get on with this, shall we? Lenny: No no no! I don’t wanna die! Venam: Damnit! What do we do?! Marianette: …Maria. I remember! Matthew: Huh? Remember what? Indriad: Marianette, what are you going on about?! Even in your final moments you continue to annoy me! Shut your mouth and die with dignity! Marianette: You shut YOUR mouth! The sudden outburst from Marianette towards her father shocked everyone but most likely more to me and Indriad. I had never seen her yell at him like that before. She usually would try to be calm and collected but now, she seemed more brave. Indriad: Y-You terrible child! Is that how you speak to your superiors!? Marianette: It’s all clear to me now… I remember who I was… Who I am! Indriad: You… remember…? No… No! Impossible! Venam: Marianette, I don’t know what’s going on but you have him totally freaked out. Marianette: I’m sorry everyone… Especially to you Matthew but I’m going to have to go back on my deal. I won’t be going with you 4. I still have many things I have to do here. Luca: But if you don’t come with us, you’ll be trapped here with this horrible man… Marianette: I know… but it’s something I have to do… I wouldn’t worry about him anymore though. Plus, I’ll feel better knowing that you all are free. Matthew: Well… I guess this is good bye then Marianette. Marianette: Yes… I know this is all very sudden but… Matt… As cruel as the context was, I really enjoyed our time together… We’ve been through a lot and even though it wasn’t for a long period of time… It feels like we’ve been friends for an eternity. And who knows… perhaps that was the case. I won’t forget you. Not again. Matthew: -thinking to myself- Not again? -talking out loud- Before you help us leave, I need to tell you something Marianette. Marianette: Huh? Matthew: Thanks for being a really good friend to me. To us. Marianette: -chuckles- You’re the best Matt. Matthew: Now… kick this guys ass for me while we’re gone will ya? Marianette: You got it! I shall now set you all free! Marianette raised her hands and we were all turned into orbs. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in a place I didn’t recognize before. It looked really similar to the Abandoned Sewers though. I opened the door in front of me and could smell that foul stench. I was definitely back in the sewers. I could hear yelling though so I went downwards to see what the commotion was about. Lenny: I’m sorry Venam but I think it’s time we take a break from each other. Venam: Ohh. So what? You’re just going to walk away after all that? Luca: What just happened in there was just so not cool. In fact, I think I might actually be scarred for life. You put us in a real bad spot there Venam. Venam: Are you seriously talking right now Luca? You’re just as guilty as I am! Luca: Don’t try to put the blame on me Venam! It was your idea in the 1st place. Maybe if you learned to think about your friends, rather than yourself, you’d be a better person. Lenny and I are out. Luca and Lenny exited the area. I could hear Venam starting to sob. I felt bad for here. She kicked a machine next to the wall in anger. She was definitely upset. Matthew: You ok Venam? Venam: Ergh! Ohh… It’s you Matt. You’re awake. Did you see all that? Matthew: Yea I did. Venam: They’re just so dumb! Luca and Lenny just left me after all we’ve been through. I thought they were supposed to be my friends but they left the moment things got rough. Matthew: You know Venam… While you did make us go through the gates, trespass into someone’s yard and then break into a crazy person’s mansion- Venam: Ohh! Now you’re agreeing with them too?! This is just so fucking typical! You should- Matthew: Would you be quiet! I wasn’t finished. Even though you did all of that, I don’t think of you any less. You’re not a bad person. Yea you think before you act or speak but I’ve seen you really care for your friends. So don’t listen to what those 2 say. You are a good person Venam. Venam: Matthew… Thank you. Matthew: No problem. And I mean it. Venam: And I also wanna thank you for saving us back there Matthew. Matthew: It’s really no big deal. Venam: No big deal?! If it weren’t for you and Marianette, I don’t know where I’d be right now! Matthew: I just did what was right. That’s all. Venam: Heh… But that place… Where is it? Matthew: I told you before that we definitely weren’t in the sewers. I don’t know where that place was. Venam: Well I believe you now. The 4 of us were unconscious in that back room. Matthew: Well whatever that place was, it’s gone… for now. Venam: By the way, you never told me what brought you to the sewers again. Was it really because of the rumors about a new area? Matthew: Hmm? Why I came down here…? Ahh! That’s right! With everything that was going on, I totally forgot the reason why I came here! Venam: Well spit it out already! Matthew: Before I came here, Ren was at Goldenleaf Town. But when I was about to enter, he put up a gate because he said that I was gonna change the town or something like that. And he wants to be the 1 to do it. So I need your help to get rid of that gate. Venam: So let me get this straight. Ren’s being a piece of work and you need my help? Matthew: Yes. Will you please help me? Venam: Are you kidding me? After what you did for me back there? Hell yes. We’re friends for life now. The 2 of us got out of the sewers and went to the guy with the truck and got a ride back to Sheridan Village. From there we went to Route 3 and started to walk to where the gate was. Venam: So what are you going to be doing in Goldenleaf Town? Matthew: I’m meeting a friend there and plan on taking on the Gym Leader there. Venam: Ahh. I see. That person wouldn’t happen to be Aelita would it? Matthew: Yes it would. How do you- Ohh yea! I almost forgot that she told me she met you yesterday. What happened? Venam: She went into a dock shed. Rumors had it that the shed there had a bunch of stolen cargo. I was going there to take care of it myself when I saw her just casually walk in there by herself. I ran in there and made it just in time. We battled off the bad guys and they ran away. She then told me about a person named Matthew and how he helped her save Sheridan Village. I knew she had to be talking about you. So I told her the next time you see him to say that. Matthew: Heh. Yea. Doesn’t surprise me that she just walked in there with no concern. But she’s just trying to help people out. I can’t fault her for that. Venam: Sooo… You 2 dating?~ Matthew: What?! No! We’re just friends! Venam: Mhm.~ -laughs- Matthew: Knock it off Venam. We’re almost there. We finally got to the gate. Venam assessed the situation. She then called out her Grimer and had it use Venam’s Kiss on the gate. In a matter of seconds the gate was melted. Venam returned her Grimer back to her PokeBall and looked at me with a smile. Matthew: This is great! Thanks Venam. Venam: It was easy. But I really don’t see the point of blocking off this way anyway? Matthew: Me neither. Ren’s been acting weird since Melia’s disappearance. Venam: But on the other hand, I’m kind of glad he did do it. If you hadn’t come looking for me, I might not be here right now. Matthew: I guess… everything happens for a reason. Venam: Well I’m off. I don’t know what your plan is but you sure seem set on it. Matthew: Ohh. I guess I didn’t tell you. Well long story short, my Snag Machine isn’t working and I’m looking for Saki Blakeory in Akuwa City so she can fix it. Venam: Did… Did you just say Saki Blakeory? Matthew: Yea. Why? Venam: …Just hearing that name makes me want to barf. Matthew: Uhh… Venam: Don’t mind me. I’m just being annoying. See you around Matt. Matthew: Later Venam. Try not to get into more trouble! Venam: Shut up! Venam went back up Route 3. I went inside the resting building between Route 3 and Goldenleaf Town. It was finally time to meet up with Aelita and to find the Gym Leader of this place.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 I walked into the rest area before Goldenleaf Town. I don’t know why but I felt very anxious. With what everyone was telling me, it sounded like this place hated outsiders a lot. The greeter in the rest area building even wanted there to be a tunnel in Route 3 to get to Route 4 in order to completely not travel through this place. I finally went into the town. I could see why it was called Goldenleaf Town though. A lot of the trees and even the grass was all a golden color. Just as I was enjoying the view though, I could hear someone screaming. I ran to the the sound of the voice. By a Giratina statue, there were 4 people. Seemed like 3 of them were ganging up on a kid though. I looked up at the statue and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. A noose was hanging off of it. Matthew: Whoa! What the hell are you 3 trying to do to this girl?! ???: Hmm… Excuse me. Is there a problem? Matthew: Uhh yea! You’re trying to hang a little girl! Why!? ???: Hmph! Listen up outsider! I don’t really care what you’re saying! I don’t have the time to deal with you right now! I have an annoying pest that I must eliminate once and for all! Matthew: Eliminate?! Look, I know kids can be annoying sometimes but I’m pretty sure whatever she did doesn’t call for hanging her. ???: I take it from your constant talking that you’re not gonna leave? Matthew: Damn right! Now let her go! ???: No! She must be killed for being here! And if you keep pushing me, you’ll be next! Matthew: Ohh yea?! Come on out Venamica! Seviper came out of its PokeBall and stared down the girl who was trying to do harm to the little girl. She didn’t seem intimidated at all by it though. She just stood there, looking annoyed. At that time, the little girl kicked the other girl in the back, causing her to fly forward and land on the ground. Mosely: BRO, THANKS FOR SAVING ME BUT I GOTTA BOUNCE! NAMES’S MOSELY TOO! -runs off- Matthew: Well at least she’s gone from your grasp. ???: Urgh! I’m so sick of you outsiders! That’s it! Hang his Seviper up on the noose by the tail! The 2 people listened to her orders and wrestled Seviper into submission. I tried to come to its aid but the girl wouldn’t move and I couldn’t hit a girl, no matter how annoying she was. I watched as the 2 picked up the snake Pokemon and wrapped the noose around the end of its tail. Seviper was wriggling around, trying to free itself but it only made the noose tighter around its tail. Matthew: Hey! My Seviper didn’t do anything to you! ???: It belongs to you. That’s enough for us. We’re gonna make an example of you outsiders with this Pokemon of yours. Matthew: Just leave it alone! ???: You know, I’m so sick of you outsiders thinking you can come into our town and do whatever you want! Seviper: Seviper Sevi! Matthew: Urgh! Venamica! Just then, 1 of my Pokemon came out of its PokeBall. It was my Aipom. My Aipom and Seviper were really close best friends. It must have heard Seviper’s cries for help while it was still inside its ball. Aipom looked up at Seviper, who was swinging around by now, frantically trying to get free. It then looked at the girl in front of it. ???: Ohh great. MORE nuisances! You wanna join your friend up there, you stupid monkey Pokemon?! Aipom: Ai!!! Aipom! Aipom ran towards the girl and jumped up in the air and then landed on her. It seemed as if it were trying to rip her face off or something. Then, it jumped off her head, fell back down towards her and smack her in the face twice with its hand like tail. I was shocked. I never saw it this angry before. The girl was obviously upset with this. ???: Why you- This is exactly what outsiders do! And their Pokemon! How DARE you smack me in the face like that! Matthew: Handy Manny… Wait a minute… You slapped her in the face twice… That’s… That’s Double Hit! Doesn’t that mean- Before I could even finish my sentence, Aipom started to glow a light blue color. I watched as I started to see it sprout out another tail hand and get bigger and taller. Soon, the glow faded away and standing in front of me was my newly evolved Ambipom. I was so amazed that it evolved basically for its friend. The girl in front of me didn’t care though. She grabbed her PokeBall and threw it. A Trevenant came out facing my Ambipom. ???: Alright you! Your Ambipom seems to really care for this stupid snake! So I’ll make you a deal! Your Ambipom VS my Trevenant! You win, you get to save your Pokemon here! Matthew: Heh… I get it. You want me to use Ambipom because it’s a Normal Type and Normal Types can’t hit Ghost Types. Thus, you think I already lose. -takes out my Pokedex and scans my newly evolved Ambipom- ???: Well at least you’re not stupid. But yes. That’s precisely the reason. Either way, you lose. So why don’t you go back to wherever you came from and- Matthew: I accept. ???: Yea! You bet you qu- Wait… You accept? Matthew: Yea. Do you have a problem with that? ???: No but you’re incredibly more stupid than you look. Matthew: We’ll just see about that! Don’t worry Venamica! You’ll be down from there soon! Seviper: Seviper! Matthew: You ready Handy Manny? Ambipom: Ambi Ambipom! ???: Whatever. Let’s make quick work of them Trevenant! The battle started. She instructed her Trevenant to use Will-O-Wisp. It did as it was told but my Ambipom was too quick for it and dodged it. It didn’t let up on its attack though and kept trying to get the burn on my Ambipom. The girl was getting frustrated that I was just dodging and not doing anything in retaliation. Matthew: Alright! Just remember! You asked for it! Let’s show ‘em your new move Handy Manny! Use Dual Chop! ???: Ha- What?! Dual Chop!? Ambipom jumped up into the air. Its 2 hand like tails started to glow blue. It came down and hit the Trevenant with its newly acquired move. Ambipom landed back down on the ground ready to do more battle. However, kit didn’t have to worry about that. The Trevenant fell down to the ground, fainted. The girl was in total shock at her defeat. ???: B-But how- Matthew: It learned it when it evolved. At least, that’s the only explanation I could come up with. ???: Urgh! Damn you! Damn all of you outsiders! -returns her Pokemon back to her PokeBall- We’ll see you again and soon! We’re out of here! The girl and her friends left the area. Ambipom and I ran over to Seviper and helped it down off of the statue. Ambipom used Dual Chop to break the noose from its tail. The Seviper was relieved that it was freed and saved by its best friend. Ambipom tried to stand on top of Sevipers head but Seviper wasn’t able to keep its head up thanks to Ambipom’s evolution. Matthew: -chuckles- I don’t think you can do that anymore Handy Manny. You’re too big for Venamica’s head now. Ambipom: Ambipom… Seviper: Sevi Seviper! Ambipom: Ambi? Seviper notioned its friend towards his back. Ambipom stood there for a couple of seconds wondering what its friend was trying to suggest and then it smiled. It got onto Seviper’s back. Seviper went around in a circle carrying its friend. The 2 were definitely inseparable. I knew though that I had stuff to do. So I returned the 2 of them back to their PokeBalls. I started to look around the town. Barely any of the townsfolk really wanted to see me. That changed though when I went into 1 house. ???: Ren?! Reina?! Is that you?! A door swung open and a somewhat older woman came rushing out and down the steps. When she saw that it was me and not Ren or this Reina person, she was visibly upset. ???: Ohh… No. You’re not either of them. Matthew: Sorry… ???: Not your fault. -sighs- I knew this day would come. But I didn’t think it’d happen like this. I-I’m sorry… I’m sure you have no idea what I’m talking about. Matthew: If I’m being honest, you’re absolutely right. ???: Well you see, my son Ren ran away from home a year ago and then a few weeks ago, his sister Reina ran right behind him. Ren never liked how people from Goldenleaf Town treated outsider, so he just got up and left. I have no idea why my daughter Reina left though. I’m such a bad mother… I think if I raised theme better, they wouldn’t be this way. Matthew: Hey. I’m sure they’ll come back and when they do, I’m sure they’ll be glad to see you as well. ???: Wishful thinking… but I do hope so. But I’m surprised you’re here. Matthew: Because I’m an outsider right? ???: Yes. This town is very dangerous. Matthew: I learned that 1st hand. They hung my Seviper on a noose by its tail not too long ago. ???: Oh my! That’s horrible! Well listen, whenever you’re here in Goldenleaf, you can rest here anytime you want. Matthew: Really? ???: Yes. Truth be told, it’d be great to have some company… Matthew: Well thank you. I’ll keep that in mind. I gotta go do something though. See ya. ???: Bye. And be safe! I left the kind woman’s heart. I would have told her that I knew her son and that we were friends… sort of but I didn’t want her to get all crazy emotional and asking me billions of questions about him. I decided I’d go find the Gym Leader since I didn’t spot Aelita anywhere here. I walked upwards from the statue and could see a building. In front of it was a Gym sign post, which meant that this place was the Gym place. There was a person in front of the entrance. When I got close to her though, she began to speak. ???: Hello there outsider… Matthew: Uhh… hi? ???: I wonder… Do you want access to Route 4? Matthew: Access to Route 4? Hmm. Well I would like to know where it is. Yes. ???: I see. There was a girl earlier asking around some time ago. Matthew: Wait! A girl?! Dis she have purple hair and a pink shit on?! ???: Ahh. So she is your comrade. Matthew: Where’d she go? ???: I don’t know. I didn’t think to check up on that. Matthew: Well thanks for all that information. ???: It doesn’t matter anyways. Matthew: Why? ???: I didn’t tell her where Route 4 was. She seemed very annoyed and stomped off. Probably went looking for it herself. Which is a waste of time. Only I know where it is and only I get to choose who goes there. Do you know why I haven’t told you or your little friend where it is? Matthew: I have a good idea. ???: It’s because you are an outsider. I don’t know if you’re familiar with out ideas but only official members of this village gain privileges. And you are obviously not 1. Matthew: Fine then. How do I become an official member? ???: Foolish outsider. You can only be born into it… Or by beating me in an official Gym battle and gaining the badge I possess. Matthew: Fine. I- Huh?! ???: I can see it in your eyes and how the tone in your voice changed. You’re eager to battle yes? Matthew: Of course! It’s 1 of the reasons I came to this place in the 1st place! ???: Hmmm… Tell you what… There are outsiders located inside the Pokemon Center in this town. They’ve been causing such a ruckus because of the way they’re being treated. If you are able to subdue them, I’ll accept your challenge. Matthew:… Fine. But I want you to know that I don’t like this. ???: That does not bother me in the slightest. For now, I’ll be heading over to Wispy Tower. Unfortunately, I’m the only 1 in this town that actively tries to remember the dead. She pushed me out of the way and headed towards wherever this Wispy Tower was. I didn’t like that I had to deal with outsiders in order to get a Gym Battle with this town’s Gym Leader but I didn’t see another option. I walked down to the PokeCenter but just as I was about to open the door, I heard a familiar voice shouting out to me. Aelita: Matthew! Matthew! There you are Matthew! I was looking for you everywhere! Matthew: You left without waking me up! Aelita: Well I didn’t want to ruin your sleep. Matthew: We were supposed to come here together though. Aelita: I know but… I also couldn’t hold back my excitement and I just left… Matthew: -sighs- Well we’re back together now. That’s all that counts. Aelita: So I gotta tell you something. I’ve been training a bit since I’ve gotten here and I think I’ve gotten a lot better! Let’s have a battle! Matthew: Right here and now? Aelita: Yes! Matthew: Well… Why not? This’ll be our 1st battle against each other. Aelita: I know! That makes it even more exciting! Alright! Here I go! Our very 1st battle between each other started. It was a very back and forth match. It kind of seemed like any time I’d knock 1 of her Pokemon out, she’d knock 1 of mine out. It was a great battle. At the end though, I came out victorious against her. She seemed kind of sad about it but then bounced back with a smile. Aelita: Well I did a lot better than I thought I would! So I’m happy! Matthew: That was honestly 1 of the toughest battles I’ve had. Keep training like that and you’ll be just as good 1 day. Aelita: Hehe. Maybe 1 day. Anyways, I’ve been trying to find a way to Route 4 but it’s been a little rough. These people jumped me while I was looking around. Matthew: Are you ok? Aelita: Yea. Don’t worry about it. I was able to fend them off. Matthew: That’s good to hear. I got jumped too. Or more like my Pokemon did. A couple of people grabbed Venamica and hung it up on a rope by its tail. Aelita: What?! That’s horrible! Matthew: Don’t worry. Handy Manny evolved and saved it. Aelita: That’s good. Although… I think we should talk more inside the PokeCenter… Matthew: Why? Aelita: I don’t think it’s too safe to stand around and talk outside. Matthew: Ohh… Right. Good call. Let’s go in. Aelita and I went inside the Pokemon Center. We went up to Nurse Joy and gave her our Pokemon so she could heal them. They were healed and given right back to us. Aelita: Thanks Nurse Joy. Matthew: Yea. Thanks a lot. Nurse Joy: No problem. Stay safe you 2. Aelita: Now about this town… I may have gotten a lil ahead of myself. Matthew: What do you mean? Aelita: See, I was doing some exploring at Wispy Path. Then these creeps decided to try and bully me. Matthew: Ohh. That. Aelita: Mhm. They were kind of weak though. So I was able to hold them off! When they lost, this girl got really mad and said she’d be back. Matthew: Wait a minute… That sounds like the girl who was trying to hurt Venamica. Aelita: Really? That’s not good. But weak or not, threats like that shouldn’t be taken lightly! That’s why I was on my way to this Pokemon Center. I heard there was a group of trainers who were ready to fight back. Matthew: Sounds like you wanna start a war with this town saying that. Aelita: Well of course I don’t wanna start a war but… what else can we do? Matthew: Well, I mean… I met the Gym Leader and she said if I calmed the trainers here down, she’d grant me access to Route 4 and a battle for her Gym Badge. Aelita: Ohh. So you’ve met Narcissa already? Matthew: Narcissa? Aelita: Yea. That’s the Gym Leader’s name here. You didn’t know that? Matthew: No. It never entered my mind to ask her her name. Aelita: Ahh. Well in any case, I guess I shouldn’t add fuel to the flame by joining them then. Matthew: But what are we- Just then, some of the townsfolk of Goldenleaf Town came into the PokeCenter yelling at us “outsiders.” Aelita and I both looked at each other in frustration. We knew there was gonna be another attack on us. We rushed down the stairs to confront them. ???: You heard me! All of you! I want all of you out of our town now! Matthew: Are you serious? We’re in a damn PokeCenter! Aelita: You all really need to just get over yourselves. I think the ones that need to be kicked out are the 3 of you! ???: What did you just say to me? Matthew: Open up your ears and listen good. You 3 should be the ones kicked out of here. Not us! ???: You… Who do you 2 think you are!? Just leave us alone already! We’re better without you! Ever since Narcissa’s theatre was converted into a gym, people have been waltzin’ on in here like they own us! Matthew: Are you all really that deluded?! We just want the badge and then to leave. We’re not trying to own any of you! ???: Lies! LIES! That’s all outsiders do! What more do we have to do to get rid of you all?! Aelita: You better start sketching out some ideas… because we aren’t leaving anytime soon! ???: Urgh! Fine! If that’s how it’s gonna be… then we’ll make you leave! Just then, 1 of the trainers that were sitting at the table up the stairs from us came down to us and evened up the score. The 3 of us had no choice but to go into battle with the 3 townsfolk. Luckily, I was able to defeat the 1 easily. Seems the other trainer and Aelita were successful too. The 3 that lost seemed really disappointed with themselves. ???: Y-You all think you’re so important! We may have lost this time but we’re not going to give up! We’ll rid each and every 1 of you 1 day! RETREAT! -leaves the building with her friends- Matthew: Wow. I can’t believe they would do that. Hey dude. Thanks for the extra help. Trainer: No problem. We “outsiders” have to stick together. Aelita: But still… To think they would stoop so low… This is unacceptable. I know she asked you to calm the trainers down but that won’t be possible with her citizens attacking us every few minutes! Matthew: You’re right. I think we need an alternative here. Aelita: Matthew, you should go confront her again. I’ll stay here and keep guard over the Pokemon Center. Matthew: I think she was heading towards the Wispy Tower. I’m gonna head there then. Trainer: Good luck and don’t take no for an answer! I 1st went up to Nurse Joy and healed my Pokemon. I then exited the PokeCenter but outside waiting for me were the same people that just battled us inside. I was super annoyed with this and couldn’t take it anymore. ???: You think you’re so- Matthew: No. ???: Y- What? Matthew: I said no. I am tired. I am TIRED of you all thinking you can do whatever you want to us “outsiders!” It’s fucking infuriating me! You wanna battle!? Then come on you fuckers! I grabbed a PokeBall and prepared for battle. The group was shocked that someone like me would say sich a thing to them. The girl grabbed a PokeBall of hers and the battle started. It didn’t last long as I defeated her within 4 moves. When she was done, 1 of her friends were about to battle me but just as the next battle was about to happen, a Pangoro came out of nowhere and chucked her up into the sky. It then went over to the person in front of me and chucked him through the air as well. The remaining girl apologized and ran for her life. I couldn’t blame her for running away. I was also confused as to why this random Pangoro decided to help me out. It looked back at me and then ran off. I had no idea what just happened right now but I knew I had to go to Wispy Tower to talk to Narcissa.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 I headed over to the Wispy Path. Luckily, it wasn’t hard to find it. Before I left the town, I went to Ren’s mother’s place and asked her where this Wispy Tower was. I had to go to the left into Wispy Tower and then head up north. It was on the other side of a resting building. When I got to the other side of the building, I was sort of shocked with what I was seeing. There was a fountain in front of a burnt up looking building. I didn’t know what had happened here. It looked horrible. I walked up to the building and on the front of it said “WISPY TOWER” in scorched up lettering. Matthew: Wow… This place was through hell at some point. What happened here…? No time for that. I gotta find Narcissa. I entered the building but the instant I did, I wish I could walk back out. It was all destroyed inside. Walls were cracked and caved in, a statue of a Giratina was in a fountain with its head off, dust and debris were everywhere. Then I could see what seemed to be crosses. I went up to some of them and read them. These were graves. Why in the world would there be graves here? Now I was really freaked out. I could see Narcissa in front of a praying looking thing. I carefully walked up behind her but just like before, she started speaking. Narcissa:… It always pains me to walk in this lobby. All the painful memories of lost lives. Lost hopes and dreams… This place never fails to bring out my true feelings. Matthew: And what are your true feelings? And more importantly, why to people who aren’t native to this town? Narcissa: Heh… Simply put, outsiders burned down this place. After that, I had hatred towards them. I was the 1 who started this ordinance of isolation. I have a question for you. Matthew: What is it? Narcissa: Why should we change our ways? Matthew: Well… it’s just wrong. Narcissa: It’s just wrong huh…? We know it’s wrong but our anger shall never die. Matthew: Really? It’ll never die? So you’re telling me you’ll be angry at us for the rest of your life? Narcissa: So you see through me… Matthew: Yes. No 1 can stay mad forever, Even at something as horrible as this. Narcissa: I’m glad you saw through me… I’m tired… My tears have run dry and the anger that I once felt has subsided. Matthew: Well good. -thinking to myself- This is going way easier than I thought it’d go. Narcissa: I am a lady of theatre and of the opera. I yearn for the cheering crowd. The interaction of the foreign. Matthew: So what’s the problem then? Narcissa: My own people. If I just tell them to start opening up again, my head will be in the arms of the gallows’ noose. Matthew: I’m not exactly sure what that means but it doesn’t sound good. Narcissa: It’s not but I don’t expect you to be of any help. Don’t worry about it too much. Matthew: Well I mean if you wanna change the minds of your people and you need help, I wouldn’t mind trying to help you. Narcissa: If only it were that simple. I’d be putting you in harms way. Matthew: Maybe but still. Narcissa: -chuckles- Thank you for showing you care. So have you taken care of those rowdy outsiders in the Pokemon Center? Matthew: Huh? Ohh, uhh, yea! I sure did! Narcissa: Excellent. Then I must hold up my end of the deal as well. Meet me inside of my gym and we shall do battle. I watched as Narcissa exited the area. I was glad to see that she was starting to lighten up on outsiders. It was clear to see. I took 1 last look at the alter she was looking at before I came in. This person must have been pretty important to her. I did a quick little prayer to honor the dead that were here and then I left. I walked back to Goldenleaf Town. When I was making my way up to Narcissa’s Gym though, I could hear someone yelling and it sounded a lot like Aelita. When I got closer, I could see the 2 standing face to face. I ran up to them just in case something was about to break out. Matthew: Aelita! What are you doing? Aelita: Good. You’re here Matthew. I was just about to give Narcissa a piece of my mind. Matthew: But Aelita, you don’t nee- Aelita: I gotta speak my mind! 1st of all, I don’t appreciate this little attitude you and you people have against foreigners. Narcissa: As I was just saying- Aelita: No! Just listen for a sec! Narcissa:… Fine. As you wish. Aelita: What gives you the right to treat people this way? Is it because you have some sort of superiority complex? Is that it? Well let me tell you something Narcissa. Matthew: Aelita please stop. Aelita: No Matthew! It needs to be said! It isn’t appreciated by anyone! Narcissa: I am aware of that… If you would just give me a moment to explain… Aelita: Fine. Go right on ahead and explain yourself. Matthew: Ugh. Narcissa I’m so sorry. Once she gets something in here head that she thinks she needs to do, she just does it. Narcissa: It’s alright Matthew. In a way, I deserve this. And to you Aelita, I don’t agree with this town’s attitude either. In fact, I yearn for change? Aelita: You do? But aren’t you the leader of this place? I would think it’d be an easy task. Narcissa: I maybe their leader but they’re blinded. They’re so blinded by hatred that they would never listen to me. Aelita: You mean to tell me your citizens wouldn’t listen to you? Narcissa: Mhm. 1 thing you must know about being a leader is that your decision is not always presented with a unanimous agreement. I am a leader, not a dictator. Aelita:… I guess you’re right… Matthew: So what do we do to try to fix this problem. Narcissa: We’ll think of something. Aelita: Hmm… What about an assembly? Narcissa: And what of our safety? If they wanted, they could riot. Aelita: Couldn’t you just defend them off yourself? Narcissa: While I could fend them off, I wouldn’t feel right attacking my own people. I just don’t have the heart. Aelita: Then what to do? Matthew: Hmm… Well… I can be your bodyguard. Narcissa: My… bodyguard? Aelita: Yea… Yea! That’s prefect! I can be 1 too! We aren’t weak! We can definitely hold the fort! Narcissa: That… doesn’t sound like a bad idea… Hmm… I think I may have a better idea though. Matthew: What’s that? Narcissa: I’ll tell you 2 later but for now, Matthew. I promised you a Gym Battle. We should do that now. We’ll discuss everything else later. Matthew: Alright! I’m down for that! Aelita: Alrighty. Let’s get going then. The 3 of us started walking up to Narcissa’s Gym, However, when we were getting closer, we could all see someone standing on top of the roof of the Gym. I couldn’t remember where I saw this person from but I knew that I had seen him somewhere. And he wasn’t a good guy. Narcissa: Ohh…? What are you doing up there? Wait… Pardon me but have we met before? Your face… It looks strikingly familiar. ???: Shut up bitch. Haunter, silence her. Out of this man’s PokeBall came a Haunter. The Haunter charged at Narcissa and started to choke the life out of her. When Aelita tried to help, the man had Haunter use Double Team and then started choking her as well. I tried to get it to stop but I couldn’t do anything. Matthew: What the- What are you doing this for?! ???: Yo. You’re Matthew right? Matthew: Who wants to know?! ???: That means you are. Listen, you might not remember me but you warped into our office! Remember that?! Matthew: I… I did. I did and I saw Madelis there too along with those 2 people that attacked the S.S. Oceana! And… I remember you being there too. So you’re apart of Team Xen huh? Geara: Well the little shit does remember. Shocking. Listen up. The name’s Geara and I’m a Xen Executive. We did NOT appreciate your little intrusion down at Carotos Mountain. Matthew: Do you honestly think I give a damn if you appreciated it or not!? Geara: You’re damn right! Because of you, it’s burnt to a cinder and in shambles! Matthew: Well good! You shouldn’t have had a place like that inside the mountain anyways! Geara: You’re really starting to piss me off. I wonder though. Did you really think you’d just walk on your merry little way without any consequences? Yea, that don’t fly homie. Matthew: Don’t call me homie. Geara: Ohh… Ohh I’m gonna enjoy choking out these 2 bitches more than I probably should now. And the best part? They’ll be on your hands. Matthew: You think I’m just gonna stand here and let you do this?! You’re wrong Geara! Just as I was about to send out 1 of my Pokemon, I heard someone’s voice calling out to Narcissa. Geara clammed up and returned his Haunter back to his PokeBall. I looked on in shock as I saw Geara just disappear. I looked around the area but I couldn’t see him anywhere. I could see Narcissa and Aelita knocked out on the ground. Just as I was going to check to see if they were ok, 2 natives of Goldenleaf Town came walking up and could see the 2 unconscious bodies lying on the ground. Their eyes then locked onto me. I knew instantly what they were thinking. Matthew: Ok. Whoa whoa. I know what you’re thinking but that wasn’t me! Sariah: What… What did you do?! You disgusting outsider! Matthew: Listen, I didn’t do this! Someone else did! Sariah: Nice try but you’re the only other person here! Nick: My Arceus… This person is crazy… Sariah: Gah! I’m so sick of these outsiders thinking they can do whatever they places! Nick, lock them up. We’ll have a meeting to figure out what to do with them later. Matthew: L-Lock me up?! Wait! I’m serious! I’m not the 1 who did this! Nick: Liar. Let’s go your murdering maniac. Matthew: Murdering?! They’re not even dead! They’re just unconscious! Sariah: And how would you know that if you didn’t cause these injuries? Matthew: Like I said the past 10 times, I saw it happen! I didn’t do this! You have to believe me! Nick: -grabs my arms and puts them behind my back and starts pushing me forward- Come on. Get a move on. Matthew: Ow! Stop pushing me! Fuck man. Alright. I’m going… Sariah: Let me take over. I’ll take them to the jail. You go to Wispy Tower and gather some rocks. Matthew: Gather rocks? For what? Sariah: Let’s just say… we’re gonna have some fun with you. Matthew: I’ll be damned if you think I’m just gonna sit there and let you guys chuck rocks at me! Sariah: Not like you’ll have a choice in the matter. The girl took me to a little shack with 2 cells in it. She put me in 1 and shut the cell doors. I was now a prisoner. I was being accused of doing something that I did not do and it was really pissing me off. The girl went over to the guy to make sure he wouldn’t let me out. Before she left, she gave me a dirty look and then exited the area. I needed to do something but what could I do. I couldn't break through the bars or break through the walls behind me. I was stuck. Matthew: Damnit! I need to get out of here and prove my innocence and also look for that Geara dude! But how am I gonna get out of here? Urgh! It’s just 1 thing after another with me! Something bad happens, I take care of it, things are good for like 5 minutes and then it’s back to being complete shit. -sighs- Maybe I’m just not meant to have any kind of relaxing or fun moments here. Just then the door slowly started to open up. I assumed it was the girl that had just left and came back with stuff to throw at me. But when the door fully opened, I recognized that the person there wasn’t the girl but that little girl I rescued before. She came over to the cell and put her finger over her mouth, signaling for me to keep quiet. She tried to get the bars open herself but nothing budged. She then looked at me and gave me a wink. I wondered she was about to do. Mosely: Hey! Don’t make any sudden movements! Guy: Whoa! What the-?! Mosely: Give me the keys to the jail cell… Now! Guy: And why should I do that? There was silence for a couple of seconds. Then I could hear the opening of a PokeBall and a familiar Pokemon cry. It sounded like a Pangoro. Then I remembered 1 from earlier. Was she the 1 that helped me earlier? I couldn’t think of that right now though. She threatened the man holding the keys to either give them to her or have her Pokemon eat him alive. It sounded like he handed them over to Mosely. She then skipped over to my cell and unlocked it. Matthew: Kid, you’re a damn hero. Mosely: Heh… Don’t think I’m doin’ this because I love ya… I just wanna repay you for saving me earlier. Matthew: Sure! Whatever you say kid! Still a hero. Mosely: Well… Ohh! I almost forgot. I got some dirt on the guy that got you into this mess. Matthew: You do?! What is it?! Mosely: I heard him talk about Wispy Tower. He said there was something there that would be important. Matthew: What the hell can be in there that he wants. Mosely: Beats me but I bet you my mother’s breakfast that whatever he wants isn’t good. Matthew: I gotta get over there pronto! Mosely: I bet if you expose that guy, it’ll clear your name. Matthew: Maybe but I’m just more worried abut him trying to do to the people of this town. Mosely: Protect the people of this town? Why would you want to do that? Matthew: Because it’s the right things to do! Mosely: But they picked on you, attacked you and even hung your Pokemon in a noose by its tail. I saw all of that go down. How could you wanna protect people like that? Matthew: Well yes. That did happen and I’ll probably never forgive the person who did it but… It’s not in my nature to let people get hurt if I can help it. Mosely: Huh… Never thought of it like that… Err, anyways. We should get out of here. Come on Pangy. The Pangoro ran towards its trainer and the 2 ran outside. I soon followed suit. I was shocked to see Mosely still in the town. I thought she would have run off by now. Matthew: What are you still doing here? Mosely: I thought about what you said and… well I think it’s only right if I help you whoop some ass. Matthew: Help me? You mean you’re gonna help me save the people of Goldenleaf Town? Mosely: Well… I thought about what you said and it made sense. Matthew: -chuckles- That was barely a minute ago. Mosely: Yea well…! It just made sense alright?! Matthew: Alright. Alright. You can come help me. Just then, the Sariah girl that put me in the jail cell came running back. She was furious to see me out of my cell. I was prepared to hear her annoying voice but Mosely had her Pangoro chase the girl. While it was somewhat funny, I didn’t think she had to go that far. People noticed and we coming over to investigate but she frightened them off, making them mind their own business. Matthew: Mosely, didn’t you just say you wanted to help save them?! Why are you scaring them?! Mosely: I do want to save them but face it! If I didn’t do that, they wouldn’t leave us alone and we wouldn’t be able to do anything. Matthew:… Ok. Fine. You’re right. We gotta get going now! Mosely: Alright! You go on a head of me! I gotta make sure Pangoro doesn’t devour that girl. I watched as Mosely ran after the way her Pangoro did. I ran to the Wispy Path. I knew that whatever Team Xen was planning on doing to this place would not be good. I hurried over there as fast as I could.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 When I got to the Wispy Path, I could see some Team Xen trucks just like back in the Goldenwood Forest. It brought back bad memories when Melia and I were trying to escape that place. I knew it was bad news that they were here. As I continued to go to Wispy Tower, a Xen Grunt approached me and engaged in battle. I was able to defeat him quite easily but I was upset. He was using a Shadow Pokemon. A Shadow Masquerain to be precise. I instinctively went to throw a PokeBall at it but then I remembered that my Snag Machine was busted. After the battle the grunt gave me a cocky grin. Matthew: What are you smiling about? Xen Grunt: I may have lost the battle but you weren’t able to snag my Shadow Pokemon. Matthew: Urgh! -sighs- I will someday… I left him and got up to the Wispy Tower. When I went inside, I was surprised to see an entrance going down below the tower. I knew that it could be a trap but I had no choice but to go down there and see what was going on. I cautiously walked down the steps, making sure not to set off any kind of possible traps they might have left me. When I got to the bottom, I could see someone standing with their back turned towards me. They were talking to themselves. I then realized it was Geara. Geara: How long has it been since I’ve last visited this place…? It’s torn to shreds now. -turns around and notices me- Ohh? You’re out? Matthew: Yea and I’m here to stop you Geara! I don’t know what you’re planning but I won’t let you get away with it. Geara: Heh. I’d really love to see you try. You know Matthew, you really shouldn’t be butting into Team Xen’s business. But if you want to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong, then fine. Let’s make this a little more enjoyable shall we? Matthew: What are you talking about? Geara: I’ll meet you at the bottom level of this laboratory. Matthew: What? You scared to face me right here and now? Geara: Ha! Don’t get so cocky. I still have some things to iron out. So I can’t have you meddling. Matthew: And what exactly are you trying to iron out? Geara: You’ll see soon enough. Hey Sharlene! Can you hear me?! Sharon: I can hear you just fine, so stop shouting. Also… it’s Sharon. Geara: Yea yea. Whatever. Just close the gates! I’ll be down there in just a moment. As for you Matthew… See ya! -runs down the hallway- Matthew: Come back here Geara…! Urgh! Damnit! Now what? ???: Hmph… What a big fat loser that guy is. Matthew: Huh…? Ohh. It’s you Mosely. Mosely: The 1 and only.~ But man. That guy can go on and on about stuff no 1 care about. Like please, save me all the angst and teenage hostility please! Matthew: Well it made sound like nonsense to you but he’s apart of Team Xen. Whatever they’re doing here can’t be good. I need to get through these gates but I don’t know how to open them up. Mosely: Me neither. I think our best bet is to just look around here and look for a way to open them up! Matthew: Yea. You’re right. Alright. Let’s go searching then. The 2 of us headed to the right and looked for a way to try to open the gates. When we got downstairs, another Xen Grunt was there and just like the last 1, he too had a Shadow Pokemon that I could not snag from him. After the battle, the 2 of us got away. I was upset about not being able to save them. Mosely could see that I looked upset. Mosely: Umm… You ok? Matthew: Not really… Did you notice that person’s Pokemon before? Like did it look different than usual? Mosely: It did actually. Matthew: Well that’s what known as a Shadow Pokemon. Mosely: A Shadown Pokemon? What’s that? Matthew: Hmm… It’s when you close a Pokemon’s heart from the rest of its body. It then becomes a fighting machine. It’ll go berserk. Even on the person using it sometimes. Mosely: That’s horrible! Matthew: I have a Snag Machine that I could have used to snag them but… it’s broken right now and that means I can’t save them. Mosely: Ohh… I’m sorry. But I’m sure you’ll be able to save them in the future! Matthew: I hope so… Mosely: Hey. What’s that? Matthew: What’s what? Mosely pointed out the end of the wall. There was some kind of panel thing on it. The 2 of us ran over to it and pressed a button on it that said open. We could hear something upstairs move. The 2 of us looked at each other and ran upstairs. When we got up there, we could see that 1 of the gates were open but there were 3 others left to open. Since we already searched all of the right side, we went to the left and searched that area. There were a couple of Xen Grunts there too. Again, 1 had a Shadown Pokemon I couldn’t save. I was upset but I had to push those emotions to the side for now. We came to a section that went up more, to the left and right. We went to the left and saw another panel. When we were leaving though, I could see a book laying on a table. I decided I’d come back later to read it. We went to the rest of the rooms and each had a panel in it. They also each had some kind of book on a table too. With all the buttons pressed now, the gates upstairs were all opened. Mosely: Alright! That should have done the trick! Come on! Let’s get upstairs! Matthew: Uhh… You go on ahead. Mosely: Huh? Why? Matthew: I wanna see something really quick. Mosely: Well ok. Don’t take too long! Mosely ran out of the room and back to the now opened gates. I went to the table with the book on it and began to read it. Matthew: Let’s see here… “Greetings… I work at the Wispy Radio Tower. Together we created an experience that was unmatched by anyone. Soon what was supposed to be an innocent job… turned into something much more intense. We all thought that we had influence to change the world. What could 1 do to change the mind of others? This is what we were interested in. How powerful is our influence? The head of the Radio Tower, Sirius, believes that 1 with a voice can change the mind of anyone who listened. But there’s a game to it. Certain key words that must be carefully crafted together. I was intrigued… So I joined his efforts in creating a new world with our influence. How deep this will go? Only time will tell?” I put the book down. I was kind of confused but what was being said here but I figured it couldn’t be good. I left that room and went to the room that was up from the section. I went to the table there and read what I now knew was a journal. Matthew: Alright. Let’s see what you got for us Journal #2. “I’m sick and tired of Sirius going around and testing things we didn’t agree on. You said you wanted a perfect worl but you haven’t exactly stated what’s “perfect” to you? Anyway, I let him do what he wanted because he seemed to know what he was doing. At least tell me what the hell you’re doing Sirius. Are you sure no 1 knows about this?” Whatever this Sirius was doing, didn’t sound too good. I wondered who the person that made these journals was though. He seemed to have known what Sirius was doing. I left that room and went to the last room which was to the left. I went into there and picked the book up from the table and started reading it. Matthew: “I walked into our lab today and Sirius said he had something to show me… My interest was piqued. I decided I had wanted to follow him. What I saw was absolutely unbelievable. I saw the legendary Pokemon Giratin-” Wait! Giratina!? How the hell did that happen!? “Sirius said that our influence wasn’t enough. We could not change everyone with our Radio Tower. He said that we could only create a new world by destroying this 1. He sounded like an absolute madman but he talked as if he was completely sane. It was a hypnotic experience, if I’m being honest. That’s why I opted to continue helping him regardless of what the result would be. Together we’re going to destroy and recreate the world in our image.” I stared at the book in complete and utter shock and horror. Then I remembered what Geara said earlier. He had stuff to iron out. I didn’t want to believe it but if these journals were telling the truth, then there was no doubt in my mind. Giratina was still here and Geara was gonna try to use it. I dropped the book to the floor and ran as fast as I could back up the steps and through the opened gates. Ahead of me, I could see Mosely and also Narcissa. It seemed as though she had woken up from her unwelcomed nap. Narcissa turned around and noticed the both of us. Narcissa: Ohh Matthew. You’re here too. And you… you’re that child that likes to steal from residents from my town. Matthew: We… Wait. You stole things from the people of Goldenleaf Town Mosely? Mosely: Well… I mean yea but- Matthew: There’s no time for that now. Where’s Aelita? Narcissa: Ahh yes. Aelita. She’s still knocked out. Don’t worry though. She’s in my house in a bed. But enough about that. What in the world is this place? What is it doing underneath Wispy Tower? Mosely: Uhh… I actually don’t know. It might be a Team Xen base? All I know is that this place is super old. We have things growin’ aroudn here! Matthew: Yea. Well whatever this place is, we need to stop that Geara person before it’s too late. Narcissa: What’s wrong? Matthew: I’m not too sure how accurate it is but while I was downstairs, I found these journal entries. The last 1 mentioned about Giratina and it was in this building. If it’s here and Team Xen is further into this place- Mosely: That isn’t good then… We should hurry! Narcissa: Yes! We must! Mosely and Narcissa ran down the steps. I took a few more moments to relax and then I followed suit. When I got to the bottom though, I heard something close and then some kind of banging. I ran to the front of the room and could see Eli and Sharon standing there in front of a closed door going to the next room. Matthew: You 2 again? Sharon: Ohh. Lookie here. It’s Matthew. Again. Eli: Yes. I could see that Sharleen. Sharon:…Disregarding the blatantly wrong name… we were ordered to stall for time a bit. It looks like Geara is having some issues. Matthew: It’s Giratina isn’t it? Sharon: Couldn’t tell you. I haven’t been down there. I don’t really like being around the jerk anyways. Mosely: They closed the door on us the moment we walked past it! That’s pathetic! I mean what kind of jerk tries to trick a child!? Sharon: The kind of jerk who was ordered to? I dunno kid. Matthew: Don’t worry Mosely! I’ll take them on over here! You and Narcissa should go downstairs and see if you can find Geara and stop him! Narcissa: Right! Come along Mosely! Mosely: Whoop some ass Matthew! Sharon: Hmph. Having them go down to Geara huh? Whatever. We should get this over with right? Matthew: Yes! Sharon: Ok… Let’s start. We each grabbed a PokeBall and the battle started. Unlike the last time we fought back in Goldenwood Forest, they were a lot stronger this time. Their attacks seemed more coordinated as well. Even though it was very close, I was able to come out victorious. But like last time, this Sharon girl didn’t seem to care that she lost. Sharon: Well, we lost. I guess we have no other choice but to bail right? Matthew: I don’t get you. You never seem to care what Team Xen is doing and never seem to care if they fail in their mission or not. You don’t even really try your best to help them. So why stay with them? Sharon:…I just can’t ok? But before I go, I think we should 1st open the door, right Eli? Eli: Yes Sarah. Sharon: …It’s SHARON! Ugh. I swear you people do that just to piss me off. I mean is it that hard to remember such a simple name?! SHAAAAAAROOOOOON! Right. Well I’m over that now. Eli: I apologize Sharlon. Sharon: …Let’s just open this stupid door and then beat it. The 2 opened the doors and then left the area. I couldn’t figure out that Sharon girl. She was a mystery to me. But I couldn’t focus on that. I had to go downstairs fast. When I got to the next room, I looked around quick to see if there was anything important to find and there was. Another journal on a table. I picked it up and tried to read it as fast as I could. Matthew: “I must write this quickly as I may not have time left but… the tower is currently on fire. We don’t know how this happened but it did. Sirius and I are trapped in the stasis room for Giratina but we can’t go upstairs or we’ll die for sure. But there’s something I have to say. Something I re-” What…? Damnit! I can’t read the rest of this for shit. I gotta get to Mosely and Narcissa though. I put the journal down and went to find the 2 girls. When I found them, they were staring at Geara and something else. When I caught up to them, I couldn’t believe it. It was Giratina. I was right this whole time. Giratina was inside this place. But it looked like it was hooked up to a machine of some kind. Matthew: D… Damnit… Mosely: What the heck is that big chicken?! Narcissa: T-This can’t be… Is this…? Geara: It’s exactly what you think. Matthew: I was too late… Fuck! Geara: Indeed you are Matthew. Gaze your eyes on the so-called protector of Goldenleaf Town Giratina! It’s been propped down here for decades. Did you know that Narcissa? Narcissa: I’m… I’m speechless. Geara: I know what will lighten the mood. How about a little story? Matthew: A story? About what? Geara: Shut up and you’ll find out! Ahem. Once there was a prosperous, wealthy, and intelligent young man named Sirius. Narcissa: W-What? Why do you know that name? Geara: …This man was ambitious. He always knew what he wanted in life. He wanted a world where he could create everything in his own image. A so-called perfect world. A world without a god. Matthew: A world without a god? That’s insane! Geara: 1 day, this man heard of the Legendary Pokemon Giratina. He learned that Giratina was the protector of Goldenleaf Town. He MANIPULATED the leader of that village and married her to gain power. Narcissa: Stop it… Matthew: Wait… that Sirius dude was your husband…? Geara: He was able to convince his wife to let him build a Radio Tower. A place where he could continue his studies without ever being suspected of wrongdoing. And he succeeded! Mosely: Hey moron! Are you deaf?! She said to stop it! Narcissa: Why…? Why are you telling me all this?! I don’t understand! Geara: Quiet down the both of you. Anyways, as I said… he succeeded. He was able to capture Giratina and bring upon the start of a new age. Unfortunately, 1 day, this tower mysteriously caught fire. The tower burned him and his research down with it. Trapping this Giratina in the abyss of this very dark shell of the past. Matthew: You’re fucked up in the head to tell her all of this man! Why would you- Narcissa: No! M-My husband would never keep… How do you know this much!? Geara: Heh. That no longer matters anymore. I only want 1 thing and that is revenge. And I’m not leaving until Matthew have been successfully eradicated! Matthew: You can try but I’m not dying here today! Geara: Imagine… Imagine being trapped in a tower for decades. Being trapped without anyone knowing you existed in the 1st place? In a way, I feel for this Giratina. I can feel its rage and its lust for destruction. Matthew: Narcissa! Mosely! Get back! He’s gonna unleash Giratina on us! I’ll protect you ok?! Narcissa: I… Mosely: R-Right! Geara: I’m going to grant it what it wants! Narcissa: Gregory, stop this nonsense! Geara: Wha- Gregory?! Don’t you dare call me by that name you bitch! I haven’t been called… that for a long time and I don’t intend to be called that either. Giratina, lend me your power! We can benefit each other! Giratina looked at Geara and then looked at the 3 of us. It gave a dark stare at us. It moved back and then thrusted forward, breaking whatever was on the Giratina. It was now free and apparently working alongside Geara. This was a bad situation. Matthew: Fuck. This is gonna be hard! Geara: -laughs loudly- Now together, we’ll destroy every enemy that dares to cross us! Giratina! Destroy them! The battle started but Geara 1st used his Pokemon team. That battle was hard enough but when he had Giratina come in at the last second, that’s when this battle got difficult. For a bit, I thought it was all over for me. Team Xen would win and the 3 of us would be no more. But that wasn’t the case. My Pokemon came through for me and I barely managed to squeeze out a victory. Geara looked absolutely shocked at his own defeat. Geara: No… No! That’s- Matthew: Impossible? You do know that I defeated a Shadow freaking Mewtwo right? Then again, I did have help in that battle. Geara: You… You’re lying! There’s no way it’s possible for ordinary trainers to match the power of a legend… Matthew: Listen to me Geara. Since I came to this region about a week and a half ago, nothing ordinary has happened to me. I’ve been battling weird, demon forms of Pokemon, have to deal with you twisted fucks, had to deal with a psycho dad who put his kid through horrible trials and I am trying to save any Shadow Pokemon that I see. So in short, I am no ordinary trainer. Mosely: Whoa… How long have you been holding that in? Matthew: A very long time Mosely. Narcissa: Gregory… I haven’t seen you since that day… To see you again this way absolutely breaks my heart. You don’t have to be this way. You can still be loved by everyone. Geara: I don’t want your sympathy! I don’t want a damn thing from any of you! You know what I really want?! I want to crush you all! Narcissa: That’s unfortunate. I’m sorry to say that no 1 will be crushed today Geara. And that includes you as well. So please, come with us. Geara: Well… When you put it like that… Giratina! Kill Matthew! Narcissa: -disappointedly sighs- You always were just so stubborn. Dusclops! Dusclops popped out of Narcissa’s PokeBall and got behind Geara. It grabbed both of his arms and spread them. It was kind of weird what I was seeing to be honest. It didn’t look right. Narcissa ordered her Dusclops to take Geara somewhere but to where, I had no idea. Before he disappeared though, he returned Giratina back to its ball and then threatened us. Dusclops then floated upwards and the both of them disappeared. Matthew: Whoa… That’s freaky. Mosely: And just like that, he’s gone. Narcissa: Yes… indeed he is. Mosely: Who was that guy anyways? You seemed to know him… Narcissa: You’re asking these questions now? Where were they when he was actually in the room? Matthew: Well I mean when there’s a Giratina staring you in the face, it’s kind of hard to think up of questions. Mosely: Yea. There really wasn’t an opportunity to ask questions. You 2 seemed like you were having a moment anyways. Narcissa: Ahh… I see. But I don’t feel like being here any longer. Matthew: Yea. It’s kind of… I’d like to get out of here. Narcissa: Let’s go to my house. I’ll make you all some dinner. Matthew: Food does sound good right about now… Mosely: Yay! Food! Maman was supposed to cook tonight but… Narcissa: How about I lower her burden tonight then? Let’s leave this place together. The 3 of us walked out of the Wispy Tower together and went back to Narcissa’s house. As Narcissa cooked, we all talked about stuff. Our separate adventures, lives, just random stuff. This was the 1st time in a long time I felt really relaxed and happy. Even though my Snag Machine was still broken and Melia was still missing, this was a great evening. Narcissa got done cooking and we all began to eat. I have to admit, Narcissa is a good cook. She made so many good stuff, I didn’t want to stop eating. And apparently Mosely felt the same way. While we were eating, Mosely began to laugh. Narcissa: Did someone get the giggles? Matthew: -chuckles- Yea. What’s so funny? Mosely: That Geara person. His name. -continues to laugh- Narcissa: What about it? Mosely: What does it sound like? Matthew: Hmm… Geara… Geara… No way… Narcissa: I’m not getting it. Matthew: Geara named himself after Giratina. Narcissa: Huh…? Oh my. So he did. The 3 of us started to laugh at that fact. Who knew someone would be so pretentious that he would name himself after a Legendary Pokemon. It was pretty funny. Just then, Aelita came walking down the stairs and seemed confused on what was going on? Aelita: Uhh… Did I miss something? Matthew: Yea but it’s alright. Aelita: Well… ok. If you say so. But hey! I’m up and ready to go! Narcissa: I’m glad to see that you are finally up Aelita. Aelita: Of course! I can’t let something so small bring me down! Matthew: But you’ve been out longer than Narcissa… Aelita: Shush Matt! Uhh… anyways, good morning everyone or whatever time of the day it is. Mosely: It’s the evening. Aelita: Ohh. Sheesh. I was out for a long time. Damn. Matthew: It’s ok Aelita. We took care of things. Aelita: I can’t believe I lost so quickly to that creep but I won’t let that happen again! I wanna be the person who always has your back. So please look after me too! Matthew: Hell yea. You know I got yours dudette. Narcissa: Ahh. Companionship. Humanity’s final hope for redemption. I suppose this brings us to our final problem, does it not? Aelita: Huh? What are you… Ohh… Yea. We still gotta figure out some way to change the people of this town. Is the assembly idea still on the table? Narcissa: I’m not sure. An assembly is such a ludicrous idea… So ludicrous that it just may work. Matthew: That’s awesome! Aelita: Yea! Should I go ahead and set everything up then? Narcissa: Hmm… No. No I don’t think that will be necessary. Aelita: What? But why not? Narcissa: I prefer to take a more personal approach. Matthew: I think I know where this I heading. Narcissa: When I was younger, I used to be a famous actor. I lived in the theatre practically. I yearned for the crowd’s cheering, the elegant showtime… That dream has unfortunately died a long time ago. But I don’t care. I would like to persuade everyone with my acting. Matthew: There we go. Aelita: So… you want to persuade your people by… acting in a play or something? Narcissa: Yes. In fact, I’ve already planned out everything. Mosely: Already? You’re a fast thinker Narcissa. Narcissa: Thank you Mosely. Matthew, you will be playing a vital role in this play. Matthew: Wait. I’m gonna participate in the play? But… I suck at remembering lines. Narcissa: -chuckles- Do not worry. You won’t have to do any talking if you choose not to. At the very end of the show, I will battle you in front of the entire town. Matthew: Ohh. Ok. Now THAT I can get behind. Hold on… Is that gonna be a Gym Battle? Narcissa: It will be. Now while I won’t be holding back, I want you to defeat me. Mosely: Wait. You want to lose to Matthew? Narcissa: Yes. I want you to show our little world what an entire galaxy is capable of. Aelita: …I see! Well this is definitely a more creative way of doing things. But damnit! I think it’s a great idea! Matthew: Me too! Especially since I get to battle you for the badge! Narcissa: Then we shouldn’t waste time should we? Mosely: As much as I’d like to stick around and see the play for myself, I have to get back home. Maman will kill me if I don’t get back soon. I’d rather be alive, ya know? Matthew: Aww. That kind of sucks Mosely. I was enjoying your company. Mosely: Hehe. I’m sure we’ll meet again someday Matthew. Don’t be sad. Narcissa: I completely understand. I did not expect you to stay in 1 place for too long anyways. That’s your nomadic spirit isn’t it? Mosely: Heh… Narcissa: Ohh. You should take this as well. Mosely: What is it? Narcissa: Leftovers. I put some food in there for Maman as well. Tell her it’s a peace offering and that she should visit Goldenleaf Town soon. Mosely: Ohh Narcy! You’re the best! I’ll visit you again soon! -leaves the house- Narcissa: Well as they say, the show must go on! You coming with me Aelita? Aelita: Yes of course! How about you Matthew? Matthew: I’m gonna stay here a bit and prepare myself. I won’t be too long though. Promise. Narcissa: Alright. See you in a bit. Narcissa and Aelita left the house and went to the theatre. I stayed at the house preparing myself for my upcoming Gym Battle. I was getting hyped up for it. For the 1st time, this Gym Battle was gonna be a regular fun battle. There was no 1 I was trying to save quickly, there was no 1 that was just gonna bolt and try to do something to stop Team Xen and there wasn’t a psycho person pitting me against a friend. It was gonna be a normal Gym Battle. I couldn’t wait to face Narcissa.

Narcissa: +2 (8/10) - She kind of helped out against Geara. She stopped him from doing anymore damage and sent him off to... somehwere. Now, she's gonna put on a play and for the main event, I'm gonna battle her for her Gym Badge. Geara: (0/10 NO CHANGE!) - This dude knew where a Legendary Pokemon was, used it and it is now in his possession. This could not get any worse. But at least he's somewhere that's not here...

My Answer - I think it's alright. I mean I like the journals that are laid out across the place. It's insane how Giratina was in that place for so long though and no 1 noticed until Geara decided to go to it. But yea. Besides that, it's alright.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 I got fully prepared and left Narcissa’s house to go to the theatre. It was pretty late into the evening but I had a feeling that a lot of people were here wanting to watch this play. When I walked into the theatre, I could see weird pictures of Exeggutor and Slowbro. I didn’t know why she had those up in here but I guess it did add some kind of charm to the place. Before I went further up, I could see the panel to talk to Jan at the side. I decided to go over and see what I can learn about Narcissa. Jan: Hey Matthew. Another late battle eh? Matthew: You can say it like that. Jan: Hmm… By the looks of it, you’re at the Goldenleaf Theatre. So Narcissa’s finally doing her job huh? Matthew: Jeez. Ain’t that a bit harsh Jan? Jan: Do you know how many trainers quit here because she refuses to battle them? Well whatever you did, maybe she’ll battle more now. Anyways, let me give you some details on her. Her ace is a Dusclops. A strange ace, but an effective 1 nonetheless. It will be holding an Eviolite so it’s gonna take a lot of wittling down to send that ghost to the afterlife for good. Narcissa’s signature move is called Spectral Scream. It has a 25% chance of raising its defence. She’s all about that bulk. The battle field she uses is called the Haunted Field. Like the field suggest, this field is beneficial mostly to Ghost Pokemon. Ghost Type moves are boosted in power by 1.3x. Dark and Fairy Types are 0.7x in power. Most notably, Night Shade deals 1.5x more damage. So be wary of that. Matthew: Alright. Thanks Jan. I think I can take it from here. Jan: Alrighty then. Good luck Matt. And thanks for getting her to do her job again. The computer shut off. I walked up more into the theatre and could see Narcissa standing there. She seemed kind of nervous but excited at the same time. Matthew: Well hey there Narcissa. Narcissa: Ahh Matthew. There you are! It seems like the show is about to start. Matthew: Nice. You nervous? Narcissa: A little but I’ll be fine. But there’s still some time before your part comes in you know? Matthew: Ohh I know. The big main event! ???: Narcissa! Matthew: No… No way… The 2 of us looked behind me and walking up towards us was none other than Ren. He seemed somewhat shocked to see me there inside of the theatre. I could tell that things were gonna go from being decently good to annoying fast. Narcissa: Oh my… This is a plot twist. Matthew: Ren… Ren: Matthew… So you got through the barrier? Matthew: Yea but it wasn’t easy. Narcissa: Hold on. This seems pretty ironic. Are you telling me that you were the 1 who put that old thing up again? Isn’t that exactly what we used to do Ren? Something you detested so much? Ren: Hmph… This time it was different…! I had to buy time so that I could become stronger! Narcissa: To defeat me in battle? Still? That is your dream? After all this time you’ve worked so hard to do the same thing we did in the past. Ren: It wasn’t like that! I said it was just to buy time! Narcissa: Call it whatever you want but I’ve seen through your actions. But… I shall give you an opportunity if you wish to battle me that badly. Ren: You will?! Matthew: What?! What about my battle Narcissa?! I thought that was supposed to be the main event?! Narcissa: Calm down Matthew. Let me explain. Currently, all of the tickets to my show are sold out. However, there is 1 ticket I kept secret. 1 ticket that will allow you to see the show close up. Matthew: I’m… not so sure I follow. Ren: Yea. I’m confused… Narcissa: The 2 of you shall compete for this ticket. Ren: So where is it? Where is the ticket? Narcissa: It is located somewhere within this theatre. Ren, you will enter the right wing and Matthew will enter the left. 1st person to clear the backrooms of this theatre will receive their ticket. Ren: I understand… So it’s a race. A race to see who will change this town for the better. Matthew: Yea… I guess it is… Ren: I told you Matthew. I told you that I was determined to change the town myself. I won’t let anyone get in the way of that dream. Matthew: I know it is Ren. Trust me. You won’t let me forget it anytime we run into each other. Ren: Matthew… if you truly want to battle Narcissa, then you better beat me to the end! -goes to the right side of the building- Matthew: Urgh! Damnit Ren…! Narcissa: I apologize for changing the plan out of nowhere. Matthew: It’s ok. If anything, my determination to battle you has gone way up now. Narcissa: Good. I said I was going to convert my entire town in the direction of peace and love. And this includes Ren as well. He’s just as bad, even if he doesn’t know it. Matthew: Yea… I’m starting to realize it too. Hopefully, this snaps him out of it. Narcissa: As do I. I want you to defeat him in this race. But not out of spice. I want you to show him what he’s doing is wrong. I know his intentions are genuine but the execution is severely lacking. You must severely break someone down before you can rebuild them into a better entity. Remember that Matthew. Matthew: I will Narcissa… Thanks. Narcissa left to get ready for the show. I went to the left wing of the room as Narcissa instructed me to do. When I went into the next room, I was puzzled as to what I was supposed to do. I went through a door that was right in front of me but when I came to the next room, I was back where I started. That weirded me out a lot. I tried it again and the same thing happened. I noticed a door on the other side of the room. I tried that door. When I got to the next room, it was different but there was a Pokemon in front of it. When I got close behind it, it turned around. It turned out to be a Mimikyu. However, it spoke which scared me. It then disappeared. This was definitely a weird Gym puzzle. I then read what was on the wall. Matthew: “1 path leads to many doors. Many doors lead to only 1 exit.” Hmm… Is that a clue to how to figure out this weird as puzzle? I went to turn around and noticed a fire lit on a torch on the wall. When I came into this room, it wasn’t lit up but now it was. I had an idea. I went out that door and then up to the door that just led me back into this room. This time, the torch next to the door was lit. When I entered that room, it was a different room. Now I knew that the room I was supposed to be in would be lit up on the torch by whatever I was supposed to go to. It led me back out of the room and into the room I was just in but this time, there was a hole in the wall. I went inside, up the stairs and found myself on the next floor. I continued to follow the fire until I came across a mirror. A Dusclops came out of it and took me through it. After that happened, a weird girl came out of nowhere and teleported me back to the beginning of the area. I continued following the fire until I was at the top. There was a resting area there. I took a break there and then went through the final door. I thought I had won but Ren was walking through at the exact same time. We looked at each other in shock when we saw that we made it there at the exact same time. Ren: Damnit Matt! You’re so persistent! Just leave! Matthew: Me leave?! Why don’t you leave! I was here 1st! Ren: The hell is your deal? Why can’t you just let me battle her 1st? Matthew: Dude, she said that I could challenge her. Why shouldn’t I? Ren: I have been training so hard for this day… and you’re going to ruin all that training with just 1 battle… Matthew: Ren- Ren: No. I want you to listen to me. I appreciate you as a friend Matthew, but this is where I draw the line. Matthew: So what are you saying? This is like me breaking up the friendship? Ren: …In a way… Matthew: Dude, what is going on with you? You were NEVER like this before we got to this town? Is it really that important? Ren: Yes! Yes it is! Only 1 of us can get to Narcissa and that 1 is going to be me whether you like it or not! Matthew: Fine then! Bring it on! Show me what your training has led to! The battle between us started. While he was definitely better than the last time we faced off, the results were the same. I had come out the winner. The 2 of us returned out Pokemon back to our PokeBalls. I wasn’t happy though. I didn’t want whatever all of this was to break up our friendship. Ren: This… You… Matthew: Dude… Please… I didn’t want this. Ren: Then why did you do it?! Matthew: Because… you’re being just like how these people are right now! Ren: Wha-… No… No. You’re wrong. Matthew: Listen to yourself. You’re telling me you don’t sound like them? Ren: Shut up! Just… shut up. After everything… After my ambition to become better and fix this town… All those years spent becoming stronger… were for nothing? Matthew: Of course not! You got another reason to be stronger you know. Ren: Heh. That’s a joke. Matthew: What?! Ren: I’ve seen what you’ve done for this town Matthew. The moment I walked through the gate and into this town… I noticed something significantly different. Not everything’s fixed but I can feel the will to change. Matthew: I… I didn’t do it on purpose. Ren: Maybe not… but that was my dream. My goal. To accomplish that myself. So I ask you… Will you let me please battle Narcissa 1st? I thought about it for a bit. I mean what would it hurt if he did go on and battle Narcissa 1st and then I would battle her afterwards? I didn’t want all of this to mess up a friendship we made. I made up my mind. Matthew: Yes. Ren: W-What did you just say…? Matthew: Yes… You can battle her 1st. Ren: -stays silent for a bit and then starts to laugh- Matthew: What’s… What’s so funny? Ren: Ohh Matt. I know there’s no way you mean that. Matthew: What?! Ren: Face it. You beat me. Why would you let me go 1st? I wouldn’t be able to beat her now anyways. Matthew: Are you serious right now Ren?! Ren: I’m gonna go now. I’m not going to watch your battle with her. Let’s just see how good you are against her. Ren looked at me with a disgusted smile and then walked out of the room. I stood there looking at the door, hoping that he was just playing some kind of sick, sadistic joke and would walk back into the room and everything would be cool. I waited and waited. Nothing. He didn’t come back. I felt like I had ruined a friendship even though I didn’t really do anything wrong. I couldn’t do anything else though except go into the mirror. When I came back into a room, I was on a battlefield with Narcissa across from me. Matthew: Whoa. Is this… the battlefield? Narcissa: It is. The show’s not over is it? Matthew: No way. Let’s give them a grand finale. Narcissa: Yes. This is the final stand off between Goldenleaf Town and the world! Show Goldenleaf Town what you’re capable of! The Gym Battle was underway. In any Gym Battle I had in Aevium so far, Narcissa was definitely the hardest. Her field definitely backed me up into a corner. I didn’t know if I would be able to get out of it. But luckily, my Pokemon and I pulled through and came out the victors. Some cheered as some booed. It didn’t bother me though. I enjoyed the battle and it seemed Narcissa did too. Matthew: I have bested you in battle Narcissa. Narcissa: You have and thus, Goldenleaf Town has fallen and the world of peace, love and happiness have won as well! The world has missed us. This ordinance of isolation is over! From now on, we will welcome any outsider as if they were 1 of us. Let us- Sariah: Narcissssaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Matthew: Ohh fuck. This loudmouth again? Sariah: -walks up onto the stage- What is this nonsense?! How could you lose to this… this… outsider! Matthew: You know, you keep calling me that as if it’s an insult. Just saying, it’s not. Narcissa: To answer your question, I suppose I wasn’t strong enough. We weren’t strong enough. Sariah: So what…? Are you saying we’re just going to treat these outsiders with respect now?! After everything? Have you completely forgotten what they did to us? Narcissa: What they did to “us”? What are you talking about “us”? You weren’t even born when that tragedy happened. Matthew: Really? So she’s just like this because… Why are you like this?! Sariah: Shut it you… you…! GAH! Narcissa: You know what you’re doing Sariah? You use that as an excuse to be a hateful, xenophobic, miserable girl. Sariah: Wh-What? No! That’s not- That’s not what I meant! I want to avenge my fallen brethren! Narcissa: Then avenge them in a more positive way. The past is the past. It cannot be changed no matter how much you cry, grief or scream. Instead of living it, let’s build a future that our loved ones would be proud of! Matthew: Doesn’t that sound better? Sariah: …I seriously cannot believe what I’m hearing right now. Aelita: Then you don’t have to believe it. No one’s telling you to stay here. You can leave whenever you want. Sariah: Excuse me but who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you to tell me to leave here when you’re not even part of this place! Narcissa: Ahh. But where would you go? No matter where you’d end up, you’d be outsiders. I wonder… Would they greet you with love and compassion? Certainly not because you didn’t give them the treatment they desired when they visited us. Sariah: I… I… Urgh… Fine but I’m not going to like it. Narcissa: And you don’t have to. Matthew: Hell. I’m not asking you to like it. I just want you to give it a chance. Sariah: …Mhm… Matthew: That’s an improvement! Narcissa: This is just what’s going to happen from now on. And I’m aware that change won’t happen immediately. It takes time for it to blossom. But I will be here until we bloom into a beautiful flower in the sun! For peace, lover and happiness! The people in the audience got up and left for home. Aelita and I helped Narcissa clean up a bit in the theatre before going back to her place. It was almost pitch black outside when we finally left. When we made it back to Narcissa’s house, we sat down at the table. We were all tired as hell but happy that the play seemed to have paid off. Aelita: Narciss, that was an absolutely beautiful performance! Matthew: I know I wasn’t there to see any of it but I bet you were. Narcissa: Thank you 2 so much. It’s been a while since I’ve done something like that. If I’m being honest, I was extremely nervous… Aelita: Really? You didn’t look nervous to me. Narcissa: Apparently so. I pulled through somehow. And I couldn’t have done it without you 2. Aelita: We were happy to help! Matthew: It was nothing really. That battle was awesome though! Narcissa: Thank you. I must admit, I had a fun time battling you too Matthew. It got my blood pumping. Narcissa: Ohh! I almost forgot. Matt, here’s your badge! -hands over the Phantasm Badge- Matthew: Sweet! This marks badge #4! Aelita: 4? How’d you get 4 already? Matthew: Uhh… I’ll tell you about it some other time Aelita. Aelita: Huh…? Well ok then. Whatever you say. Narcissa: Now you 2 are trying to get to Route 4 right? Aelita: Yes! We have to get to Akuwa Town as fast as possible. Matthew: I need to get my Snag Machine fixed pronto. This is essential in taking Team Xen down. Narcissa: I see. Sounds quite the ordeal. I shall show you the way out of the town but that will wait until tomorrow. I’m sure you 2 want some rest? Matthew: Desperately. I’ll be lucky if I can walk another 10 feet. Aelita: Yea. I’m tired as well. Narcissa: Well you 2 are welcome to stay here for the night. When morning comes, I’ll take you to the area. Now let me show you both up to your rooms. Aelita and I followed Narcissa upstairs. She showed us the room we’d be staying in. Luckily, there were 2 beds in there. We said our good nights and got ready for bed. As I laid in bed, I couldn’t help but wonder about Ren. I wanted to know if he still saw me as a friend or an enemy now. I drifted off to sleep wondering about our fate together.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Aelita: Wake up Matt. Matthew: Erm, give me a couple more minutes… Aelita: Seriously, you have to get up. Matthew: Leave me alo- Aelita: WAKE UP RIGHT NOW MATTHEW! Matthew: Whoa! -falls out of the bed- Ow! Aelita: About time you wake up! Matthew: Oogh. You know, I’m happy you didn’t just leave without me but you could have woken me up in a better way. Aelita: We don’t have time for that Matthew. Matthew: Hey. What’s wrong? You sound serious. Aelita: People came here looking for you. Matthew: Looking for me? Wait. Is it Team Xen?! Aelita: No. They didn’t say where they were from but they requested to see you. Narcissa is already down there trying to get any kind of info out of them. So just hurry up! Aelita left the bedroom. I wondered why someone would come here to look for me. I got out of my bed wear and into my regular clothes and left the bed room and came downstairs. I met up with Aelita and Narcissa and could see the people they were talking about. There were 3 of them. 2 of them looked like Pokemon Rangers but the 1 on the middle looked a bit more important. He had long green hair and had a business suit attire on. Matthew: Hey. You get anything out of them Narcissa? Narcissa: No. The only thing they would tell me is that they needed to see you urgently. Matthew: I see. Well… I’m here now. Why are you wanting to see me? ???: Before I say anything regarding to the situation, I would like to make clear that you are in no trouble nor are we here to capture you in any way. Aelita: Hmm. I don’t know. That sounds just too good to be true. C : I know but I just need you all to trust me. I suppose I should introduce myself. While I would give you my real name, becauae of the type of work I am apart of, I will only give you my codename, which is C. I am part of the International Police. Specifically the Aevium Department. Narcissa: The International Police? C : That’s right and these 2 here with me are Goldenwood Rangers. Matthew: Wait. Goldenwood Rangers? Male Goldenwood Ranger: Yes. We are. Female Goldenwood Ranger: Does that mean something to you? Matthew: It’s just… last time I was there is when Team Xen came and tried to kidnap my 1 friend… Now I don’t know where she is. C : I see. I’m sorry to have brought bad memories but this is important. You see- Male Goldenwood Forest: Hold on. How can you be so sure that he can handle this sir? Female Goldenwood Forest: I mean if you can’t do it, what makes you think he can? Matthew: Handle what? Can someone just explain to me what’s going on? C : Hmm… You 2 have a point. I’m sorry Matthew but I think a demonstration of your power is necessary right now. Matthew: I’m not sure what this is all about but I never turn down a battle. Sure. Let’s do it. Narcissa: Hold it! Not in my house. We can do it outside please. C : Of course. All 6 of us went outside of Narcissa’s house. The C dude stood on 1 side as I stood on the other. 1 of the rangers yelled begin and the battle started. The match didn’t take long though. None of my Pokemon even took any damage. But C seemed impressed as well as the rangers. C : You are indeed strong. Male Goldenwood Ranger: That was incredible! Female Goldenwood Ranger: You didn’t even take a hit! Matthew: Well I mean you know- Aelita: You can boast about your victory later Matthew. Narcissa: Yes. We still don’t know why you all have shown up here in the 1st place. Matthew: Ohh yea! So what’s going on? What does the International Police need with me? C : Well as you already know, something is happening down at Goldenwood Forest. The wild Pokemon there have started to flee the area at an extremely rapid pace. Male Goldenwood Ranger: When me and my partner went to take a look at what was causing them to flee, we saw something out in the water. Female Goldenwood Ranger: It was this weird orb of energy. When we tried to get closer to see what it was, it attacked us. We were no match for it. C : Not even I could do anything against it. While trying to think of what to do though, I’ve heard about a trainer that has been going toe to toe against Team Xen and found out it was you. I figured you might be the only person to help us out in this trying time. Matthew: Wait… In the water. You mean the lake right? Male Goldenwood Ranger: Yes. We’ve never seen anything quite like it. Matthew: No way… It’s still there after all this time? Aelita: What’s there? Matthew: Remember that Volcanion back in Carotos Mountain? Aelita: Yea. I think it was called a Dimensional R- Hold on. Are you saying that this- Matthew: Yes. I am. Not only that, I know exactly what it is too. C : Are you telling me that you know what that thing is?! Matthew: Yes. It’s a Dimensional Rift and inside that is a Dimensional Rift Gyarados. I still don’t know the whole details but it transforms, kind of like Mega Evolution, but way more scary. C : I see. That is most troubling. Sources have told me that it can’t be tamed… Therefore, you will have no other choice but to destroy it. Matthew: …Heh… Narcissa: What is it? Matthew: I have to kill another Pokemon again… Narcissa: Kill? Matthew: Yea. If you can’t tame it, the only way to make it stop… is to kill it. Narcissa: That’s… That’s horrible! Matthew: It is and it sucks that I have to do this again… but I’m sure it’d rather have death than be like that for the rest of its life. C : Again, I am sorry that I am having to put you in a rather uncomfortable situation but we need your help. Matthew: I know… I accept. C : Then it’s decided. You are hereby a temporary member of the International Police. Matthew: Alright. So what are we waiting for? Male Goldenwood Ranger: Uhh, sir? Aren’t you forgetting the other thing as well? C : The other thing…? Ahh yes! Thank you for reminding me! There is another issue as well. We have been getting reports of a weird Rockruff attacking the Pokemon of Goldenwood Forest. Matthew: Stop… I know what it is. It’s a Shadow Pokemon. C : Shadow Pokemon? That’s back? Aelita: Unfortunately. Me and Matt have actually purified some but… I don’t know if he can catch it. His Snag Machine is broken. C : I see. That is unfortunate. Matthew: Wait. Does this Rockruff have a trainer? Female Goldenwood Ranger: From what we’ve seen and what the reports say, the Rockruff is acting on its own accord. Matthew: If that’s the case, then I might be able to catch it after all. Aelita: And then you can open its heart and purify it! Matthew: That’s the plan. So should we get going? C : Before we leave, I must tell you that only you are allowed to come with us. Aelita: What?! Why can’t me or Narcissa come along as well?! C : We can’t endanger people’s lives. Matthew seems to have dealt with these creatures many times. He’s the best suitable for this. He has the best outcome of coming back unharmed. Aelita: But I- Narcissa: Aelita, please. I know you want to help but if this is what they decided, then we can do nothing to change their mind. Matthew: And don’t worry about me Aelita. I got this. I’ll be back in no time. Aelita: Hrm… Fine. Just be careful ok? Matthew: You got it. Lead the way C. C and the Rangers lead me the way to Goldenwood Forest. I was shocked to learn that Wispy Path also lead back to that place. When we got there, they wished me luck and then went back inside the resting area. I looked around the place. The plant life definitely had taken over since I was here last time. It was amazing though. I started to make my way down to where Melia and I had 1st encountered Zetta. I wondered where Crescent had taken him. Hadn’t seen either of them since that day down in Amethyst Cave. When I finally made it to the little hill, I walked up onto it and looked over the water. It was true. The Dimensional Rift was still there. I took a deep breath and exhaled. Matthew: Alright… Let’s get this over with. I’m here Gyarados! I could hear Gyarados’ cry. The orb out in the water started to change. In a blink of a flash, the orb came closer over to me and then it appeared. Dimensional Rift Gyarados. It roared at my face. I looked up at it with remorse. I didn’t want to kill it but I knew there was no other way of doing it. Matthew: Well… I gotta put you out of your misery. D.R. Gyarados: -roars out in anger- Matthew: I wish there was another way of doing this but there isn’t. I’ll try to make this as painless as possible! The battle started. Unlike last time, it didn’t seem to be as destructive. It seemed like it was holding back. As if it was trying to help me release it from this horrible fate. It didn’t take too long for me to defeat the monster. After the battle, I looked up at the Gyarados. As I stared at it, it closed its eyes and smiled. It then disappeared into thin air. I was happy that I was able to help it. ???: Gyarados will finally be able to rest in peace. That’s a job well done Matthew. Matthew: -turns around- Ohh! C. Surprised to see you out here. C : Are you referring to my blindness? Matthew: Y-You’re blind?! C : Ohh. Did I not mention that? Well in any case, I am indeed blind. But I can see through the eyes of my Pokemon though. Matthew: Ahh… I see. Well in any case, I’m glad that the Gyarados will be at peace. C : Yes. Goldenwood Forest is 1 step closer to being safe once again. Matthew: Yea. Now we gotta find that Shadow Rockruff. C : We may not have to go searching for it. I just got a report in not too long ago on its most recent location. That’s why I’m here. Matthew: Alright. So where is it? C : It’s back up north in Goldenwood Cave. Matthew: Alright. I’m gonna head there now. C : I’m gonna go there with you. Matthew: Are you even able to? C : I made it here without any help didn’t I? Matthew: Ohh… I suppose you did. C : Then let’s head up there. The 2 of us headed upwards to Goldenwood Cave. I was amazed that C was able to walk up there and not walk into a million things along the way. Maybe he was really seeing through his Pokemon eyes somehow. When we made it to the entrance of the cave, we heard the growl of a Pokemon. We slowly entered the cave. Almost as soon as we entered, we heard the growl again but I was able to see the Pokemon. It was definitely a Shadow Pokemon and it was a Rockruff. Matthew: C! Watch out! C : I know! So what do we do?! Matthew: I gotta see what it does before I can do anything! I watched as the Rockruff stared at us with an angry stare. But it was acting weird. I expected it to try to attack us almost as soon as it spotted us but it didn’t. Instead, it was jerking its body around. Then I realized something. It was fighting. Fighting to either keep the door to its heart open or fighting to open the door to its heart. It wasn’t a fully completed Shadow Pokemon. Matthew: It… It’s not… C : What is it Matthew?! Matthew: That Rockruff isn’t a fully completed Shadow Pokemon. C : is that a good thing?! Matthew: Well kind of. It- Rockruff: ROOOOCKRUUUUFFFF! Matthew: Huh?! I looked back at Rockruff and it was charging towards me. I could notice that the top if its forehead was a brightly colored pinkish/purple color. I didn’t have anytime to get out of the way though. So instead, I opened my arms and waited for the Pokemon to fully make contact. When it did, I wrapped my arms around it. I was pushed back towards the little pond behind me. This attack hurt like hell though. I dropped to my knees. I let Rockruff go. Right now, it seemed that it was in control of its body. It looked up at me with remorse in its eyes. C : Matt?! Matt! What’s happened?! Are you alright?! Matthew: I-I’m fine… Are you… doing good Rock…ruffffff… I slowly lost consciousness and fall back towards the pond and splashed into the water. I could hear C yelling out to me to please come out of the pond and be ok. I could soon hear a scuffle going on. I gradually regained consciousness. Luckily, I wasn’t underwater. I was floating on top. When I looked towards where the Rockruff and C were, I could see C dodging all the moves Rockruff was throwing towards him. I waited for an opportunity and threw a ball at the Pokemon. It made contact and it went inside the PokeBall. C and I waited to see if the Pokemon was successfully captured or not. After a couple of shakes, it clicked, marking it a successful capture. The both of us gave a great sigh of relief. I swam back to the hard rock and pull myself up out of the water. C came over to my and draped me over his shoulder. C : Hey. You ok Matthew? Matthew: I-I will be… Must have been… hit harder than I though… C : What it do to you? Matthew: I’m not sure… It’s head lit up a weird… pinkish/purple color and then… headbutted me… C : Hmm… That sounds like Zen Headbutt… But how can that be? Rockruff can’t learn that move. Matthew: It’s a-another thing about… Shadow Pokemon… They seem to learn 1… move they usually aren’t… able to. C : Well at least you caught it. Let’s get your ball and get you back to the resting area. Matthew: R-Right… C took me over to my PokeBall and I weakly picked it up and put it in my pocket. He then helped me out of the cave and all the way back to the building. The rangers there did everything they could to get me close to 100%. It took about an hour but I felt better than before. I was still not 100% though. Matthew: Ahh. Thanks you guys. I’m feeling better already. Female Goldenwood Ranger: Yea right. You’re not even close to being fully better. Matthew: -chuckles- Well maybe but I feel better than I did a bit ago. Male Goldenwood Ranger: I’m sorry you got hurt but we deeply thank you for helping us with this issue. C : Yes. I’d like to congratulate you as well. Without you, I don’t know what would have happened to this place. Matthew: You guys don’t need to thank me. I’m glad I could help. But I gotta get going. I need to purify this little guy. C : Ahh yes. That Rockruff. Are you going to keep it afterwards? Matthew: That’s up to the little guy. I decided I’d let them decide if they wanna stay or leave. C : That’s very admirable of you Matthew. Again, thank you for helping us. Whenever we see each other again, we must have a rematch. Matthew: Yea! That sounds like fun. Well, I’m gonna go now. Bye everyone. We waved to each other good bye. I knew where I had to go. I had to go back to Sheridan Village. Thankfully, when I got back to Goldenleaf Town, the guy with the truck was there. He let me ride in his truck as he drove me to Sheridan Village. When we go there, I hopped off and went to the Celebi statue and touched its head. When we were in the purification place, I walked up to the Eldest. Eldest: Ahh. Back so soon? Matthew: Yes but only to purify this 1 Shadow Pokemon. Eldest: Very well. Bring it out and the process shall be done. I took out the PokeBall, which was actually the Mineral Ball exclusive to this region, and called out Rockruff. The Eldest did the ritual and soon, Rockruff was soon back to its normal self. It seemed so relieved. It made me happy. When it noticed me, it started to wag its tail happily. It must have known that I rescued it. I knelt down next to the little dog Pokemon. Matthew: Well Rockruff, I’m glad you’re back to yourself again. Rockruff: Ruff Rockruff! Matthew: So, do you wanna travel with me some more or do you wanna leave by yourself. Rockruff: Rockruff Rock! -jumps on me and starts licking me- Matthew: -chuckles- Alright. Alright. I know what your answer is. So what should I call you. Hmm… I know! How about Sasuke? Rockruff: -nods its head in approval- Matthew: Well then Sasuke, it’s time we head back on our journey. I took out the Mineral Ball and returned it back to it. I thanked the Eldest and went back to the statue. When I got back to Sheridan Village, I went back to the truck driver and had him give me a drive back to Goldenleaf Town. When I got there, I could see Narcissa and Aelita hanging out by the Giratina statue. I joined them. Aelita: Matthew! You’re back! So how did it go? Matthew:Well I took care of the Dimensional Rift Gyarados, the Shadow Rockruff hurt me… kind of a lot, caught said Shadow Rockruff and then purified it not too long ago. Aelita: Wow… Are you ok? Matthew: I mean I feel better than before but it’s gonna be a little bit before I feel 100%. Narcissa: Well I’m glad everything worked out. Matthew: Me too. So why are you 2 here? Aelita: Narcissa said she was gonna show me the way to Route 4. Matthew: Before I got here?! Narcissa: I would have showed you when you got here. But since that’s not the case anymore, I can show you both now. Aelita: Ok. So why are we in front of this statue? Narcissa: Do you see the inscription here? “Giratina, the protector of the Goldenleaf Region.” Matthew: Yea. What about it? Narcissa: The “R” in “Region” is actually slightly pushed outwards. Push it back and… The statue started to make some weird noises. A couple of seconds later, apart of the statue started to go underneath. Aelita and I could see a set of stairways under the statue. Narcissa: As simple as that. Matthew: It’s been here the whole time!? Narcissa: Mhm. Aelita: Whoa… Totally cool! Narcissa: Well… as much as I appreciate both of you, this is where we’re going to part ways. As I said before, change isn’t instant. It takes time for it to happen. I have to stay here and supervise things. Aelita: Ok! Thanks again! Matthew: It’s been fun Narcissa. Hopefully we see you again soon. Narcissa: We shall. Good bye Aelita, Matthew. Narcissa: Ohh! Before I forget… Thank you both. -leaves the area- Matthew: Well… that turned into a whole ordeal didn’t it? Aelita: Maybe so but we helped a lot of people. So it turned out for the better right? Matthew: Yea… Yea you’re right. Aelita: It’s good if we help the world a little as we go right? Matthew: Heh. Definitely. Alright. Let’s get back on track and get to Route 4.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 The 2 of us walked down the steps and soon, we were deep underground. It was kind of creepy down there. Luckily, there were lights down there so we could see but everything looked weird. The walls looked like there was some kind of goo on it, the floors were cracked. It just didn’t look like a nice place at all. Matthew: Wow… This place is underneath Goldenleaf Town? Aelita: Who even knows if we are anywhere near that place anymore. This place is creepy. Matthew: Yea. We should- Aelita: Ahh! Matthew: What is it?! Aelita shakily pointed behind me. I slowly turned around and saw a Bannette there. I let out a great sigh of relief and was about to chew out Aelita for scaring me like that when the Pokemon came up to us, opened its mouth wide and screamed at us. It was safe to say that the both of us were officially scared from that. The Banette then laughed and disappeared. Aelita: Why did that- Matthew: I don’t know! Let’s just get going already! Aelita: Yea. You’re right. Let’s go. We started our walk through this creepy path. We entered the next room. As we were walking along the path, we could see the same Banette from before with a Scrafty. We kept quiet as to not alert them that we were here. It apparently worked as the 2 walked upwards and into another room. Aelita: Phew. That was close. Matthew: What do you think that’s about? Aelita: I don’t know… I got a bad feeling though. Matthew: I do too. Let’s be careful though. The 2 of us carefully walked up towards the way the 2 Pokemon walked up before. When we got to the next room, we made sure we couldn’t see the Banette or Scrafty. But when we went walking further into the room, 2 Shuppets appeared. They cornered us and had us float off above the ground. They took us to an opening below us. We tried to have them let us go before they dropped us but we couldn’t do anything. They released their hold on us and we dropped down to the ground. When we came to, we were in some kind of cavern. I looked over to me and could see Aelita. I tried to wake her up. When she came to, we looked around. There were a lot of separate little parts of the ground still up but below was just pure pitch blackness. A bottomless pit. Aelita: Ahh! Matthew: Ok. Ok. I know this looks bad but we gotta try to stay calm. Aelita: Calm?! How are we supposed to get out of here?! Matthew: I… I’m not sure. We… We gotta look around here for a way out. Aelita: You’re telling me we gotta jump onto those little pieces of land?! Matthew: Yes. Aelita: I-I’m not leaving til I know there’s a definite way out of here. Matthew: Are you serious? Aelita: Yes! Matthew: -sighs- Fine. Guess I can’t change your mind. I’ll risk my life, looking for a way out then. Aelita: G-Good luck… I took a deep breath and jumped over to the little plot of land ahead of me. I landed right in the middle of it. I looked back at Aelita. She seemed simply horrified at what I was doing. But there was a difference between looking at it and experiencing it and I was fucking experiencing it. I couldn’t let fear get a hold of me though. I started to jump to the little plots of land ahead of me. I was getting further away from where Aelita and I had fallen onto. I was definitely far away now. After a couple of minutes of hopping around, I could see a Shuppet. I assumed it was 1 of the ones that put me and Aelita in this situation. I chased after it as best I could. After some time trying to catch up to it, I had it cornered with nowhere else to go. Or so it seemed. The Shuppet laughed at me and then floated off somewhere. I was so exhausted that I had completely forgotten that Shuppets could float above air. I continued my hopping until I got to a little bit of a bigger plot of land. Unfortunately, there were these barrel things in front of me, preventing me from continuing. I could see a ladder going up out of here. I could see the Shuppet from before though on 1 of the barrels. I tried to get its attention but it completely ignored me. I then had an idea. It was just a speculation but I went back to Aelita. She was relieved to see me back ok. Aelita: Matt! Ohh thank god you’re ok! Soo… did you find a way out? Matthew: I… I think so? Aelita: You think so? Matthew: Look, I’m not definite but I need your help. Aelita: My help? With what? Matthew: There are barrel like things blocking the path. There a ladder on the other side. I chased a shuppet before and then it floated off and its now stuck on 1 of those things. Aelita: O…K? I’m confused. Matthew: If we can find 3 more, maybe they can get rid of those barrel things? Aelita: …Are you serious right now? Matthew: It’s our best chance of getting out of here. Aelita: Urgh… Fine. This sucks though. Matthew: Alright. You go that way and I’ll go this way. Aelita: Alright. Just… Just be careful alright. Matthew: Yea. You too. The 2 of us went off on our own, hopping throughout the area looking for the other Shuppets. It didn’t take long for me to find 1. Just like the other 1, I cornered it and then it floated off supposedly back to the barrels. I continued my search for the others. Eventually, I met back up with Aelita. Matthew: Any luck with you? Aelita: I found 1 and it went off somewhere. Matthew: I did too. So there’s 1 more left. Aelita: But where is- Ohh! There it is! The last Shuppet was there standing in front of us. The 2 of us went chasing after it. Unlike the other ones, this 1 was a trickster. It took longer to corner this 1 but we finally did. It then floated off. Aelita followed me as I took her to where the barrels were. When we got there, all the Shuppets were there looking at the barrels. When the 2 of us got close, not only did the Shuppets disappear but so did the barrels. Aelita jumped backwards from the scare of them all disappearing like that and started to fall backwards. I grabbed onto her arm and pulled her back towards me. The both of us fell onto the ground exhausted, scared but also safe. Aelita: I… fucking… hate this place! Matthew: So do I. Let’s get up the ladder and get out of here. Aelita: Yea. We won’t have to deal with this room ever again. The 2 of us climbed the ladder and reached the floor above us. We walked into the next room and realized we were back in the room where the 2 Shuppets had dropped us through the opening that was fenced off. We went through an opening and started to make our way through this place. We weren’t even trying to look around the place. We just wanted to get out of these as soon as possible. At last, we were starting to see more light at the end of a crumbled up hallway. There were some more jumping for us to do but it wasn’t as risky as the other area. Just as we were about to walk out, we heard a voice. ???: Aww. You’re leaving…? Aelita: Huh…? Who said that? Show yourself! ???: Why not stay here and play with us? Forever and ever and ever and ever… Matthew: Aelita, stay behind me. Aelita: Don’t have to tell me twice! Just then, the Banette and Scrafty from before showed up in front of us. Some other Pokemon showed up as well. I looked above them and could see even more Pokemon. It looked like that this could possible be some kind of Pokemon Gang. It was nuts. But before I could do anything, 1 of my Pokemon popped out of its PokeBall. It was my Duskull. It then started to talk to the Banette. I didn’t know what was being said but I assumed it was trying to calm everything down. Didn’t sound like it was going good however. After Banette laughed loudly in its face, everything was silent. Duskull was just floating there. I was worried about it. Aelita: I-Is everything ok? Matthew: I’m… not sure. Hey Krep…? Are you ok? Duskull: … Matthew: Kre- Ohh! Duskull started to glow a light blue color. I knew instantly what that meant. Aelita and I watched on as my Duskull started to evolve into a Dusclops. I didn’t know what was said to it but whatever that Banette said was enough to cause my Duskull to get so angry, that it was evolving. The light blue glow faded and there stood my newly evolved Dusclops. I looked on in shock when it roared out in anger. I never saw it this angry before. Matthew: Whoa buddy! Whatever that Banette said must have really pissed you off. Dusclops: Dusclops Dusc! -motioning for me to call out another 1 of my Pokemon- Matthew: Ohh. Need another friend? Sure buddy. Let’s take care of them! They’ve been messing with us since we came in here! I’ve had enough of them as well. I threw out another Pokemon and the battle began. For some reason, the opposing Pokemon didn’t want to attack my Dusclops. Most of them kept attacking my other Pokemon. Nonetheless, the Pokemon Gang was eventually defeated. The Banette and Scrafty seemed upset. The lot of them turned around and ran away from us. Aelita jumped up and down for not only joy but for the end of all this scariness. Aelita: Wow Matt. You and Krep here were great! Matthew: Yea. I’m not sure what that Banette said to it but it got you to evolve. You look amazing! Dusclops: -blushing- Dusclops.~ Aelita: Can we get out of here now though? Matthew: Yea. The outside is literally a few feet away from us too. Back in your ball now Kreps. You were great! I returned the newly evolved Dusclops back to its ball and walked with Aelita to the outside. We both were happy as heck to finally be out of that scary looking place. But we finally made it to Route 4.

My Answer - It's weirdly entertaining. You wouldn't think of their being a Pokemon gang in like a dead looking place. Then again, most of them are either Ghost or Dark Type so that part makes sense.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Aelita: Wow… Would you take a look at this route? Matthew: Yea… It’s almost as if we didn’t come through a weird spooky tunnel. This is… weird but amazing. When we finally made it to the outside, we were amazed to see that the trees were really weird colors. There were some purple, red, magenta and blue colored trees throughout Route 4. What in the world would make these trees that kind of color? Matthew: How is this possible? Aelita: Hmm… I once read a book that said a woman named Flora from Grand Dream City created them for tourists. Matthew: So like she has special tree plants to make them this color? Aelita: I have no clue but it’s definitely pleasing to the eye. Matthew: Yea. That’s for sure. Aelita: But enough about that, we’re abou- -sneezes- Matthew: Bless you. You feeling ok? Aelita: Yea. I guess the chilliness here is getting to me. But then again, I suppose that’s what happens when you travel north. Come on! Aelita went running up the route. I didn’t know how she went from being scared out of her mind literally just like a minute ago to being so pumped up for being so close to Akuwa Town. Just as I was about to explore the route though, I could hear a girl’s laughter from somewhere but I didn’t know where. Out of nowhere, a present popped out from thin air and plopped down onto the ground right in front of me. I was so confused as to what was happening right now. Matthew: What the- ???: Do you know what kind of situation something is without me? Matthew: Hold on… That voice! Are you- Nim: -literally explodes out of the present- A NIMpossible situation! Matthew: Holy fuck! How did that explode and you’re here and- What are you doing here Nim?! Nim: I have a great idea! Let’s skip out on Akuwa Town ok? Play with me instead! Let’s go! Matthew: Wait! But it was too late. Nim disappeared from right in front of me. I had no idea why Nim was here in the 1st place, let alone know how she exploded out of that present box. I wanted to know why she was here so I went searching for her. Unfortunately for me, she had made clones of herself throughout a lot of the area. And a lot of them said a lot of Nim related stuff. *Nim Clone #1* Nim: You know what I like more than the bae? The Bayleef! Matthew: What? Nim: I need more cinnamon… -vanishes- *Nim Clone #2* Nim: 1 2! Cross Impact! I really like our vibe. Matthew: Nim wait! Nim: Whee! -vanishes- *Nim Clone #3* Nim: We tech those. Punishment! -vanishes- Matthew What in the hell is going on?! *Nim Clone #4* Nim: Have you ever dipped french fries into ice cream? Matthew: Nim, you… Actually I haven’t but that doesn’t sound like a bad- Nim: What the experts say shall absolutely shock you! Don’t do it Mr. Computer. You’re my only friend. -vanishes- Matthew: Wai… Damnit Nim! *Nim Clone #5* Nim: Light a man on fire and he’ll be warm for a day. Light a man ON fire, he’ll be warm for the 30 seconds he has left. Matthew: …You never did that did you? Nim: …No! -vanishes- *Nim Clone #6* Nim: Why did the farmer say moo? Matthew: Umm… I don’t know. Why? Nim: I have no clue. I was asking you. -vanishes- *Nim Clone #7* Nim: YOU’RE TOO SLOW! DON’T MAIN SONIC. -vanishes- Matthew: …I’m not even going to ask about that 1. *Nim Clone #8* Nim: What am I doing here? Matthew: That’s what I wanna know! Nim: I’m waiting for my husband to come back home. Back from war. Matthew: I’m sorry. What? Nim: War is so devastating. If he were to not return… No silly Nim! I shouldn’t say such things! He shall return! Matthew: You don’t even have a husband Nim! Nim: Ohh… Yea. I don’t. Umm… Forget everything I just said. -vanishes- After chasing the Nim clones for who knows how long, I finally found the real Nim in front of what seemed to be a gate from Route 4 to Akuwa Town. I was exhausted, annoyed and confused as to why Nim was here and trying to get me to stay away from this place. Nim: Hey! You finally made it! Matthew: Nim! What is the deal?! Why are you here?! Nim: Just… Akuwa Town sounds like a bad idea right now. Matthew: Akuwa Town a bad idea? Why? Nim: Ohh! I know! Let’s play for a little while longer, ok? Matthew: Absolutely not. Nim: …You’re so stubborn Matthew. Matthew: Nim… Please… Nim: Well… Fine. I’ll let you pass on 1 condition. Matthew: -sighs- Knowing you, I won’t be able to get through anyways. So what is it? Nim: Battle me. If you win, I’ll let you pass. If you lose, you’re not allowed to get through. Matthew: Alright. I accept. Nim: Goodie! Maybe I’ll feel better about this if you’re stronger than me. No promises on that though. Nim spread her arms and started to channel energy into her body. I still had no idea how she was able to do this but I watched on as she teleported as both into this alternate dimension of hers. I looked around the place. It was the same arena as last time. I looked across towards Nim. I could tell she seemed very determined on winning this battle. Something must have happened at Akuwa Town for her to be acting like this. Nim: So you remember the deal with this right? Matthew: Yes I know. Nim: Then I shouldn’t have to explain anything to you! Bring everything you’ve got! Matthew: I will! I refuse to lose this battle! The battle was on. I thought for sure that I’d be able to defeat her easily but I was sorely mistaken. She was way tougher than I imagined her to be. Fortunately though, I was able to defeat her. She seemed highly disappointed in herself. Nim: Heh… I didn’t expect to lose that… Guess I can’t save you after all. Matthew: Save me? Nim: Augh! I was so sure that I’d be more than capable enough to defeat you! -sighs- So… you wanted to go to Akuwa Town right? Matthew: Nim… What’s going on in Akuwa Town? Nim: Let’s just say… whatever it is you want there… you won’t find it. In fact, I don’t think you’ll find anything there. Matthew: I won’t find anything there? Why? Nim: I was there earlier. I couldn’t find anything or anyone… Matthew: Hold on. You’re telling me you haven’t seen a person in that town?! Not a single 1?! Nim: Nope. Matthew: Holy… I can see why you’re worried for me now. Nim: Well to be honest, that’s not exactly what I’m worried about. Matthew: What is it? Nim: I… feel something. Something very, very bad. I don’t know what it is exactly but there’s something going on with that town. I’d feel safer if you didn’t go but I’m not your boss or anything. I can’t force you… but I will try to persuade you any way I can. Consider this… -throws something towards Matt- Matthew: -catches it- A… bike voucher? Nim: Wouldn’t riding a bike sound so much more fun Matthew?! Just then, Nim dropped down to 1 knee, holding her stomach and head. I was worried that her transporting us to this dimension again had gotten her hurt somehow. Matthew: Nim! Are you ok?! Nim: D-Don’t worry about me. I-I’m fine… Just ignore me. Matthew: I can’t ignore a friend! Nim: A… friend? Matthew: Of course you are! You’ve helped me so much in the short time we’ve seen each other. Before, you made me feel at ease when everything was happening to me and now… you’re warning me about Akuwa Town. I can’t just not go in there but I will be a lot more cautious now. Nim: I… helped you? Matthew, I… Thank you. G-Goodbye. Nim floated into the air with her arms spread out. I was teleported from out of that dimension and was plopped back down in front of the gate of Akuwa Town. I walked through and looked around a bit. There seemed to be a mini aquarium inside. This place obviously loved water in some way or form. When I exited that place, I could see Aelita. She was shivering a bit and trying to warm up. Aelita: Brrrgh… Matthew: Are you really that cold Aelita? Aelita: Do you not feel the cold Matt? Matthew: I don’t. But then again, I’m used to trying to make myself feel as cold as possible. Aelita: Well in any case… This way up north than I thought Akuwa Town would be. But we finally made it. That’s all that matters yea? Matthew: Yea… Just be careful though. Aelita: What do you mean? Matthew: A friend of mine gave me a… warning tip about this place. Not too sure how accurate it is but just be on your guard. Aelita: On my guard…? Alright. I don’t know who this friend of yours is but I believe you Matthew. Matthew: Right. Let’s see if we can find Saki. The 2 of us started to walk deeper into the city. So far, what Nim said about no 1 being around seemed true. There wasn’t a soul outside. This was very troubling. As we started to get closer to the middle of the city though, we found an old man on the ground. We went over to check on him. He was definitely unconscious. Matthew: What do we do?! Aelita: I… I don’t know! How hasn’t anyone seen this man on the ground though?! Matthew: That’s troubling me too… but we can’t think about that for now. Aelita: Umm… Ohh! I know! Pokemon Centers usually carry defibrillators in storage. Matthew: They do? Aelita: Mhm. If we can find 1, he might have a chance. Would you please go to the PokeCenter and try to find 1? I’m gonna stay here with him just in case he somehow wakes up. Matthew: Yea. No problem. I’ll be back as soon as I can. I headed for the PokeCenter. Luckily for us, we were right next to it. I went inside and started to look all over the place for a defibrillator. There wasn’t any there. When I stopped to think where it might be, that’s when I noticed something very strange. There was no Nurse Joy and that never happens in a PokeCenter. Now I knew Nim was right about nobody being here and I was also getting a bad feeling too. I noticed a door behind the healing machine counter. I went inside and luckily found a defib in there. Before I left, I quickly changed my party a bit. I don’t know why but a voice in my head told me to leave a spot in my team open. So I now only had 5 Pokemon with me. I quickly ran back out and handed it to Aelita. She plunged it into the mans skin and then pulled it back out. After a couple of seconds, the man started to cough. Matthew: Ohh thank Arceus you’re ok! Aelita: Yea! Are you ok? Why were you knocked out on the ground? Old Man: Why I’d never! You darn whippersnappers never have any manners! Don’t you know how impolite it is to wake an old man from his nap?! Nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen! Matthew: Are you serious? If it wasn’t for us, you might not be alive right now! Old Man: Preposterous! Youth today will never get a sense of privacy and courtesy! Aelita: But… we- Old Man: SILENCE YOUNG LADY! THE NERVE OF YOUNG CHILDREN TODAY! Matthew: I am not a child. Ugh. Old Man: How DARE you! I am lecturing the both of you now and I expect you both to sit down and listen! Boy, when I was your age I spoke to my elders with respect. Ever heard of such a thing? RESPECT! Matthew: We don’t have time f- Aelita: Nope they haven’t. My mom was murdered when I was young and my dad never spoke to me. Does that answer satisfy you? Matthew: …Whoa… Aelita… That was hardcore… Old Man: -grumbles to himself- Mmm yes, well… Forget about what I said. Er… Who are you 2 again? Aelita: We asked you a question 1st? Why were you knocked out on the ground? Old Man: Ahh yes… Er… I can’t say I remember. Mmm yes well… Mmm yes… Matthew: Well he’s useless. Aelita: As much as I hate to admit it, you’re right. We’re not getting anywhere talking to him. Matthew: Ohh yea! Something’s wrong here. The Nurse Joy. She’s not in the PokeCenter. Aelita: Are you serious?! This is bad. Matthew: What do we do? Aelita: Hmm… Maybe there’s a festival on the beach or something? Matthew: Don’t you think we’d hear it? Aelita: I don’t know! Let’s just go check there! Matthew: Alright. Alright. Jeez. Don’t have to should at me. Old Man: I’m sorry young ones. I’ll try and remember but I can’t promise anything. Matthew: It’s whatever dude. We gotta get going though. Later. Aelita and I started to walk towards the beach part of the town. We were hoping to see people there. But when we got there, there was no 1 there. Not a single person. We were both worried about what could have possibly happened. There was a building up a little ways from us. We walked up to the door and started to knock on it. Aelita: Helloooooo?! Matthew: I don’t think anyone is in there. Aelita: Seriously?! Ugh! Where IS everyone?! Matthew: Alright. Let’s just calm down and think for a bit. Maybe there’s a logical explanation for all of this. Aelita: Maybe… Is it possible for an entire town to just… not exist? Matthew: You mean this town is here and no 1 lives here? Aelita: Yea. I guess that isn’t really a possibility. Matthew: Besides, that old man’s here. Aelita: Yea… That still bothers me though. Matthew: Yea. Me too. Aelita: Hmm… Ohh! There’s 1 place we haven’t checked yet. Matthew: Alright. Where’s that? Aelita: I’ve heard that there are daily performances down by the aquarium. Maybe people are there? Matthew: The whole town though? I mean… Maybe. I suppose it’s the best theory we’ve got. Aelita: Yea! No use standing here any more! Let’s head to the aquarium! The 2 of us left the building and headed up towards the aquarium. When were at the building, I could see a Gym Sign outside of it which meant that this place was also a Gym Battle Arena. Even though I’d love for a Gym Battle right now, finding Saki, or anyone at this point, was our highest priority. When we walked in, we could hear music playing. We were excited because that meant that somebody had to be here then. But walking into the next room, there was no 1 in there. Not a single person. The doors to the actual aquarium were locked as well. Aelita was getting aggravated but also scared. Aelita: Urgh! Where is everyone?! Matthew: Calm down Aelita! We have to assume something happened to this place. Aelita: How am I supposed to calm down to that?! Matthew: I don’t know but freaking out isn’t gonna get us anywhere! Aelita: -sighs- Alright… Ok. You’re right. Matthew: Look. There’s a room across the pool and it’s open. Maybe something is going on over there. The 2 of us walked over to the opened door and walked inside. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anyone in there. It was just us. Now it was truly scary. Matthew: Alright. Something bad has happened here. Aelita: I think you’re right but what happened? And what the hell is that beeping noise? Matthew: Umm… Well there’s a computer over there. Maybe it’s that? Aelita: -walks over to the computer with me- It’s gotten louder so it’s definitely the computer. Matthew: Maybe I should- Aelita: No no. I got this. I’m no computer wiz but I should be able to make something happen. Aelita confusingly played around on the computer until she came across an audio file on the desktop. We were both anxious to know what possibly could have happened to this whole place. Aelita clicked on the file and the audio file began to play. ???: Hello?! Hello?! Can you hear me?! This is Valarie Kersey, Gym Leader of Akuwa Town and the Marine Biologist here at the Akuwa Aquarium! We request backup immediately! Do you hear me?! This is not a drill! We require backup immediately! Aelita: What is going on…? Matthew: I don’t… This does not sound good. ???: Val, there’s too many of them! They already took Braixen and Adam! I… I can’t hold them back any longer! Kyaaaaah! Valarie: Oh god no! Saki! Don’t worry- What?! Where did you all come from?! L-Let go of me! Let g- *END OF AUDIO PLAYBACK* Matthew: What in the absolute fuck?! Aelita: Matt… W-What did we just listen to? Matthew: Something really bad Aelita. Aelita: Do you… Do you think there’s more to that file? Matthew: Umm… I don’t know. Maybe? Aelita: Umm… What about this blinking thing? -clicks on it- As soon as Aelita clicked on the blinking icon, a camera app popped up and soon, a police officer could be shown on the camera. We were both kind of surprised someone was on the other end of this call. What really worried me though was how shocked this police officer looked. Aelita: What is- Officer: Hello? I this Valarie Kersey of Akuwa Town? Aelita: Uh, n-no. This isn’t Valerie. Officer: Ohh? Then who are you? Matthew: I’m Matthew and this is Aelita. Aelita: We came to this town to look for someone but we haven’t seen anyone! Officer: Ohh… phew… You aren’t those guys. Matthew: Those guys? Who are you talking about? Who?! Officer: Wait… If you aren’t the others then… Listen to me very carefully you 2! Leave that town immediately! It’s not safe there! Matthew: Yea! No shit! Who are those guys that you spoke of earlier?! Aelita: What do you mean? Ahh! Nothing is making any sense! Officer: No time for explanations! This is an order! I’m telling you to- Just then, the power seemed to have flickered and mess with the computer. Everything the officer was saying was now hard to understand. Just then, the lights in the building turned red. Apparently, the backup generator power was running low resulting in the lights changing color. We decided that we should head back to Sheridan but then we heard a knock on the wall by the open door. Aelita went over to see who or what was knocking on the door. Suddenly, a Team Xen rushed in and grabbed Aelita’s arm and tried to take her away. She fought back and kicked the guy out of the room. Matthew: Holy fuck! Are you ok?! Aelita: I’m fine but what was that?! Matthew: It’s Team Xen! They’re here! Aelita: D-Did they have something to do with Akuwa Town being vacant!? Matthew: It wouldn’t shock me! But come on! Let’s get out there and teach them a lesson! Aelita: Yea! The 2 of us rushed out of the room and back into the pool area. But what we weren't expecting was the army of Team Xen Grunts. Even more shocking were the ones that had mechanical wings and were flying above us. There were definitely a lot of them. Matthew: T-There’s… There’s so many… Aelita: We can’t battle them all… Come on! This way! Hurry! Matthew: Alright! Move! The 2 of us made a run for it. Just then a Team Xen Grunt fell from the ceiling and landed right in front of us, making us stop. The 2 of us decided we’d dive into the water and swim our way to the exit. The plan worked and soon we made our way outside. But that proved to be not any better as well. There were even more Team Xen Grunts outside. Aelita: Ohh you’ve gotta be kidding me… Matthew: Urgh! Damnit! They outnumber us! Aelita: There are just so many of them… Too many, in fact… Matthew: No Aelita! It’s time! We can’t keep running! I’m not going to at least! You do what you wanna do! I’m fighting! Come on out guys! -sends out all 5 of my Pokemon- Aelita: You think I’m just gonna abandon you?! I’m sticking with you! We can’t give up! We’ve defeated them so many times! Let’s go! Come on out everyone! We need your help! -sends out all 5 of her Pokemon- We started to battle the many Team Xen Grunts. While we had maybe put a dent in their numbers, it wasn’t anywhere near to where we could escape easily. The time finally came where they took out our last Pokemon and it was just us left. We were defeated. The Team Xen Grunts rushed us and tied our hands behind our backs and put sacks over our heads. They then roughly pushed us onto what I assumed was a boat. They had us sit there quietly for the whole ride. I knew that wherever we were going was gonna be bad.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Team Xen Grunt: Alright. Get up you 2! Matthew: Where… Where are we? Team Xen Grunt: Shut up and get a move on! Aelita: Don’t tell us what to do! Team Xen Grunt: I don’t think you’re in any position to try to resist us. You are our prisoners. Do as you are told or suffer the consequences. Aelita: Urgh! You… You- Matthew: Aelita… We don’t know where we are or even see anything in front of us. Just cooperate for now. We’ll figure something out later. Aelita: …Fine. The Xen Grunts held onto our arms and escorted us off of the boat and onto dry land. I could only see through a little opening at the bottom of the sack. Snow covered green grass turned to concrete ground. Wherever we were, it was definitely cold. I could feel the snow hit my skin as we walked to wherever we were being taken to. I could hear the sound of a door being opened but it sounded weird. As if we were in a castle or something. The doors behind us were closed. Next thing we knew, our hands were being untied and the sacks on our head were taken off. We were finally able to see and move our body a bit more freely now. The 2 Xen Grunts then handed us over to what I could only describe them as to be some kind of guards. The 2 marched us up the room where there was another Xen Guard up ahead. We stopped in front of him. Matthew: Alright. You abducted us, made sure we couldn’t see where we’re going and now we’re here. Aelita: Where exactly is “here” anyways? Xen Guard: Heh. Welcome to Blacksteeple Castle. Matthew: Blacksteeple Castle? So this is a castle? Xen Guard: Yes and as of today you’ll be taken under the ownership of the warden Neved. Aelita: Have you ever heard of him Matthew? Matthew: No but it wouldn’t shock me if I saw his face already though. Xen Guard: Silence! Whatever he wants to be done, you 2 will listen and do as he says. These include fixing up the castle and making it look presentable. Aelita: Are you kidding me?! What the hell is going on here?! You can’t just go about and abduct people! I don’t understand… Why are you doing this?! Matthew: Aelita, you’re gonna get us in trouble! I know we’re in a bind here but you gotta try to calm down! Aelita: But Matthew- Xen Guard: Even I don’t know that info as of this moment. Matthew: Wait… You don’t know? You don’t know why Team Xen is doing all of this? Xen Guard: That is what I said. But I am sure they’ll become apparent sooner or later. Aelita: So that’s it then? You guys don’t even know…? You guys are IDIOTS! Xen Guard: I’ve had enough of her talking. Take them to their cells. The 2 Xen Guards took us to our cell, even though Aelita didn’t make it easy for them. If she had just calmed down, maybe we could have gotten more information out of them. But I couldn’t really blame her for doing that. She was probably very angry and very scared at what was going to happen to not only me but herself. The guards got us to our cell, had us walk in and they shut and locked the cell. As the guard started to walk away, Aelita started her yelling again. Aelita: Hey! We’re gonna get out of here! Do you hear me?! And when we do, you and everyone else are gonna be sorry! Matthew: Aelita, please just try to calm down! Aelita: How am I supposed to calm down Matthew?! We’ve been abducted and taken to some kind of castle! How can you stay calm right now?! Matthew: Trust me… It’s not easy but losing your cool like this isn’t gonna get us anywhere. Aelita: …Ugh! Someone needs to explain what’s going on here and fast! They didn’t even take away our Pokemon! Are you guys really that braindead?! -sighs- They aren’t even listening to me… Matthew: True but you make a good point. Why didn’t they take away our Pokemon? ???: Hey. Could whoever you are calm down whoever your friend is over there? It’s annoying. Plus, they won’t listen to a baby screaming about their problems. Aelita: Do you want to repeat that? I’m sure I’ll get it the 2nd time. Matthew: -face palm- Ohh geez. ???: Ohh don’t play dumb with me. You heard me loud and clear. They won’t listen to a baby scream about nothing. Aelita: Why you-! Matthew: Aelita, stop! Now! Fucking fuck! ???: Let me guess. You came in here kicking and screaming right? Matthew: Well my friend here did a lot of screaming but neither of us did any kicking. Aelita: I was not screaming! Matthew: Ok then. What do you call what you’re doing now? Aelita: I… Shut up! ???: Well maybe if she didn’t, they would have told you why they didn’t take away our Pokemon. Matthew: You know the reason? What is it? ???: Since you asked nicely, I will tell you. They’ve rendered our PokeBalls useless. Aelita: Rendered our PokeBalls useless? The 2 of us looked at each other in shock. We each took 1 of our Pokemon’s PokeBall and tried to call them out but nothing happened. We tried again but nothing happened once more. Whoever this person was was telling the truth about our PokeBalls not working. Aelita: Damnit! Matthew: This really does suck. ???: We can’t use them while we’re on the island. Aelita: An island? How do you know we’re on an island? ???: Uhh, I have eyes? I saw it? Matthew: Sorry but we had no idea. They had us put sacks over our heads. We didn’t know. ???: Ohh… Well I’ll apologize for that comment then. But still, why don’t you actually stop whining and acting so entitled, k? Aelita: Urgh! Matthew: Ugh. This isn’t getting any better. Aelita: You know, you talk really big for someone who’s stuck behind bars. ???: Well you gotta talk to a baby in a special way. Otherwise, they won’t understand you. Aelita: If you wanna talk like that, you better talk to my face. What’s your name?! Saki: My name? Hehe. Well I’m flattered.~ My name is Saki. Saki Blakeory. I’m sure you’ve heard of me? Aelita: Well listen here you- Matthew: Wait wait wait! Aelita, shut up right now! Did you say Saki?! Saki: Yes. What’s the matter? Am I very popular to talk about to you? Aelita: Huh…? Ohh yea! I almost forgot! We’ve been looking everywhere for you! Saki: Well, great job! You found me! Do you want a prize? Where’s Waldo? Matthew: Wait. How is Where’s Waldo a prize for finding you? Aelita: Now who’s the 1 that needs to shut up? But enough with the smartass comments ok? This is very important. Saki: Important? Hmm. Now you’ve piqued my interests. So what is it? Just as we were about to tell Saki what the problem was, a Xen Guard came up to our cell asking if Aelita was indeed her and where she resided before being here. Although she was rude at 1st, Saki got her to tell the guard where she lived. Upon hearing the answer, the guard’s eyes widened. He then had Aelita come out of the cell and escorted her to the warden’s office so he could ask her a few questions. While I didn’t want her to go, I couldn’t really do anything to stop him. I watched on as Aelita and the guard left from my site. Matthew: The hell does the warden want with her? Saki: I’m not sure. It’s odd actually. The warden doesn’t usually ask prisoners questions out of the blue like that. Matthew: I don’t have a good feeling about this Saki… Saki: Well… I’m sure everything will be ok. They’re not really barbaric. Matthew: Not barbaric?! Saki: I know. They’ve kidnapped us and making us do labor work but they’re not. To be honest, they treat us very well. That is, if you cooperate with them. Matthew: Great. So Aelita is gonna be in even more trouble. Intercom System: BREAK TIME OVER. RESUME SCHEDULED JOB. Saki: -sighs- Looks like my time of doing nothing has ended… Ohh wait. No it hasn’t. I walked out of my cell as did Saki. When she came into view however, I was completely in shock. I remembered her. We had met briefly once. It was back in that hotel back in Gearen City. She ran into me while riding on something. I couldn’t believe it. Matthew: Y-You’re Saki?! Saki: Yea… Something wrong? Matthew: You ran into me while riding a trolley in a hotel sometime ago! Saki: Huh? I did? Hmm… Ohh yea! I did! Ahh. Those were good times. Matthew: I beg to differ. Saki: Well since we’ve already met before, that means that we’re already friends! Matthew: Uhh… Yea. Sure. So… what do I do? Saki: Well since you’re a newcomer, you won’t get assigned to a job til tomorrow. Soooo… Oh my Arceus! We should totes hang out and be like, best friends or something!? Matthew: Since I’ve got nothing better to do, sure. Saki: Yes! Your answer pleases me greatly! You should come meet me by the quarry. Matthew: They have a quarry here? Saki: Yea. I’m not sure why but people assigned to jobs in that area usually are just digging up and breaking rocks and stones. Matthew: That’s weird. Saki: Hell yea! Anyways, it’s not hard to miss. Go outside and take the eastern exit. See you there! Saki zoomed down the stairs and out of the door. I couldn’t believe the situation I was in. Team Xen had me as prisoner in this weird castle. And they had taken Aelita for some weird reason. I decided to go to the quarry and look around the place. As I made my way through the castle, I could recognize some people in the castle. I couldn’t quite place my finger on where I saw them but it was right on the tip of my tongue. Then it finally hit me. Some of these people were from the S.S. Oceana. I couldn’t believe it. They were here and not dead. In a weird way, I was happy that they were here. Sure, they were doing things they probably didn’t want to and were being kept here against their wills but at least they were alive. That greatly put me in a better mood. I finally made it outside and was about to go towards the quarry when I saw someone trying to go the other way. There were these 2 tall turrets on both sides. The turrets started to make an alert kind of noise. I could hear someone speaking from a microphone telling this person to go back because he wasn’t authorized to go the way he was trying to go. The person didn’t listen. What I saw next horrified me. The turrets started to become electrified and shocked the poor person. It wasn’t enough to kill him but enough to immobilize him. I quickly looked away and went towards the quarry. When I got there, I searched for Saki. I finally found her on the little beach area of the island. There was another person there with her. He had blue hair and a blue beard as well. Saki seemed as if she was annoying him. Saki: And thus, a lonely Adam waits for his beautiful friend, Valarie, to come back from war. Matthew: -thinking to myself- Wait a minute… Saki, Valarie and Adam? Are these the same people that Aelita and I heard from that audio file back in Akuwa Town? Adam: Ohh shut up Saki. You know that’s not what I’m doing. I’m making sure she doesn’t die from going swimming in the water. It’s below freezing here. Saki: True but that’s not gonna stop Val from swimming. Remember that time Valarie swam in ice water because she was feeling anxious? Adam: Yes and I’d frankly like to forget about it as well. Matthew: Sounds like this Valarie really likes water huh? Saki: Ohh! Look who’s here! It’s my new friend Matthew! Matthew, this is my friend Adam. He’s a grumpy fellow but I guess he’s not too terrible. Adam: I am only grumpy because people like Valarie like to do unreasonable things. Matthew: I’ve been around that too long since I’ve come to Aevium. Saki: You’re not native to Aevium? Matthew: No. I’m originally from Unova. My mom and I were on our way to Gearen City to live there but then… Saki: Yeeeaaaa. Go on. Adam: Saki, I don’t think he wants to continue with that sentence. Sounds like something bad happened. Matthew: Yea… And it involves Team Xen as well. Saki: Sounds like you haven’t had the best time since arriving here. Matthew: Well I might not have been having the best time here but I can’t say it’s terrible. I’ve met some great people on my journey here. So that’s a good plus in my book. Saki: And I’m 1 of those great people right Matthew?! Matthew: -nervously chuckles- Yea. You are. Anyways, is this Valarie really swimming in these frigid waters? Saki: Yep! She decided to go for a swim in freezing water but we don’t talk about her life decisions. There aren’t really an turrets around the water because no 1 really expects to swim away from this place. Matthew: Could she make it out of here and maybe get some help? Saki: She might be able to last long in this kind of water but she can’t survive that long. Adam: Hmm. Maybe the status of being a Gym Leader is getting to her head? I could also say the same to you too Saki. Saki: Yes well… You’re a Gym Leader too Adam! Maybe you got a big head too! Matthew: Wait. All 3 of you are Gym Leaders? Valarie: We are but wow. You’re just gonna paint me as the crazy lady who swims in freezing waters? The 3 of us looked out to the water. A girl was swimming back to the shore. When she made it back to land, I was kind of shocked at how pretty sure looked. She had blue hair, a nice face and… a nice everything to be honest. When she looked at me with that smile on her face, I blushed a bit. I never really felt like this before. Valarie saw me and greeted me. Valarie: Well hello there. Who are you? Matthew: I’m… I’m Matt. Valarie: Uhh… Is everything ok? Matthew: I mean… yea. Hehe… Saki: But what about your friend? Matthew: Huh? Ohh yea! My friend was taken away to the warden a bit ago. Apparently, that’s a rare thing here. Valarie: It is rare. Ahh. Almost forgot to introduce myself though. My name is Valarie, as you know by now. Matthew: Yea. I know… Wait! I heard your audio file on a computer in an aquarium back in Akuwa Town! Valarie: So then you know what happened to us then huh? Matthew: Yea. Hearing all of that was crazy. Valarie: Well hearing it and experiencing it are 2 completely different things. I take it you’ve only just gotten here though? Matthew: Mhm. About a half hour ago I’d say. Me and my friend Aelita. Saki: Yea. She’s a bit of a Whitney Whiner but what can you do? Valarie: What could he possibly want with her? Adam: Obviously it can’t be good. Matthew: Yea. I got a serious bad feeling about this in the pit of my stomach. Adam: If something bad happens, we can’t wreck the place and look for her. Valarie: Yea… The functionality of our PokeBalls is pretty much non-existent. Saki: Maybe… Maybe if 1 were to, umm… know why that is, 1 would come to the conclusion that the antennas around the castle are to blame? Adam: Wow. Really Saki…? Your subtleness needs a lot of work… Why are you telling us this ag- Saki: Adam, come on! Just go with it… please? Adam: Ugh. Fine. If it’ll please you… why do you think the antennas are causing our PokeBalls to not work properly? Saki: Because I’ve worked and created PokeBalls in my spare time. Matthew: You know how to make PokeBalls? Saki: Mhm. It’s pretty easy. PokeBalls work by signals. If you press the button in the circle, the PokeBall will expand. From that point on, you could call out the Pokemon inside of the PokeBall. But what were to happen if that signal were to be interrupted by an outside source? Matthew: Umm… Adam: The PokeBall wouldn’t expand, meaning we couldn’t call our Pokemon? Saki: Yepparino bambino! That’s correct! Did you get all of that Matthew? Ehh? Ehh? Matthew: So find all the antennas and our PokeBalls will work? Valarie: Wow. I’m impressed. I’m 1 of Saki’s good friends and it even takes me a couple of tries to understand what she’s saying. Matthew: I’ve been around crazy people enough to understand their lingo by now. Adam: Not sure if I’d consider that a good thing or a bad thing. Valarie: It’s an important thing. Saki: Hey! Wait! I’m not crazy! Matthew! Matthew: Wait wait! We’re getting off topic here. We should go find some antennas and try to destroy them! Adam: Yea. Let’s look for something important! Saki: Ahh. Looks at who’s using their big boy brain. Adam: …And this is why I wish to stay mute. Valarie: Ugh. If you 2 are going to bicker all day, I think I’d like it better if you stayed here while Matthew and I go and try to find antennas. Matthew: R-Really? Me? Valarie: Of course. You’d be less annoying than these 2. Saki: No no no! I want to go too Val! Valarie: Then behave yourself. Come on all of you. Let’s get to searching. The 4 of us starting to search the quarry for any sign of antennas. I 1st searched the southern area of the place. I couldn’t see anything so I went up north more. Hiding behind some trees, I could see something circular behind them. I pressed through and finally found an antenna. Before doing anything. I went and got the other 3 and brought them to where I had found the antenna. Valarie: Nice job Matthew. You found 1. Matthew: Hehe… Thanks. Saki: Yea! Although… Adam: Although what? Saki: Well this 1 is really small. If anything, it’s using a repeat signal. Valarie: So what should we do with it? Saki: I say we pull this sucker out of the ground and send Poseidon a little gift! Matthew: Wait a minute Saki. What if there’s some kind of alert signal on this thing that it’s being messed with? Saki: Don’t worry! I got this! -grabs onto the antenna and starts pulling it- Adam: I agree with Matthew. I think that maybe we shouldn’t mess with this. Saki: -grunts still trying to pull the antenna out- Valarie: Seriously Valarie. There’s no telling what will happen once you- With Saki yelling as loud as she could, she was finally able to not only remove the antenna but throw the damn thing sky high. We all stood still waiting for some kind of signal to go off. We waited and waited and waited. Nothing happened. Just as we started to get comfortable though, red lights shined down at the area and alarms were going off. Saki yelled out scatter and scatter they did. Saki jumped onto a tree and then just started tree hopping. Valarie hopped down the hill beside us. Adam somehow turned himself into a rock… I didn’t get how he could do that. I was scatterbrained though. I didn’t know where to go. When I finally made up my mind however, it was too late. A Xen Guard saw me trying to make a run for it and stopped me. Xen Guard: Tsk tsk tsk. 1st day at Blacksteeple and you’re already causing trouble? Matthew: I uhh… I just wanted to see how strong I was? Xen Guard: …I think it’s time to take you to the warden. Maybe then you’ll take this seriously. Matthew: -sighs- Yea yea… Fine… The guard grabbed me by my arm and pulled me back to the castle and towards the warden’s room. He knocked on the door and I could hear a voice tell him to let me in. The guard opened the door and I walked in. Whoever this warden was had it better than the rest of us in the cells. It looked like an apartment building living area. Just more evil like. He ordered me to sit on the couch near him. I walked up to the couch and sat down and was prepared to hear what this person had to say. Warden: You… It’s been quite some time since we’ve last seen each other hm? Matthew: What do you mean? Are you saying we know each other? Warden: Heh. How could I be so silly? You probably don’t even remember. The S.S. Oceana… Matthew: S.S. Oceana… You were there? Wait a minute… Were you the 1 on the deck before a Talonflame flew down and got me out of there? Warden: Maybe your memory isn’t so bad after all. Matthew: So this is what you’ve done with the people from that ship? You’ve made them your slaves? Neved: If that’s how you see it. By the way, the name I go by around here is Neved. Be sure to remember that. Matthew: Listen, just say whatever you’re gonna say and let’s get this over with yea? Don’t really care for being in here longer than I need to be. Neved: Hmm… Interesting. I assumed you’d want to know about the whereabouts of your mother. Matthew: I don’t need to waste my time thinking about that. If you have the people from the S.S. Oceana here, then that means she’s here as well. Neved: Hmph… Cocky little… Not even a day in, let alone half a day, and you’re already causing trouble? To be frank, I’m not surprised. But I’d appreciate it just a little more if you were slightly more compliant. You were abducted by the Death Wings, weren’t you? Matthew: Is that seriously what you call your Team Xen Grunts with the mechanical wings? Pfft. Stupid ass name. Neved: The Death Wings are extremely high ranking grunts of Team Xen. We ordered them to kidnap you at a later date but you happened to walk into Akuwa Town at the wrong time… You know what you’re up against then right? Do not worry. We won’t do anything rash as long as you don’t in return. I’m sure you’re wondering why we’re suddenly abducting people left and right. Because of you, Madame X has been extremely on edge. Matthew: I really don’t give a Raticate’s ass how that person’s doing. Because of her, Melia is missing or worse… Neved: If she were here right now, you wouldn’t say such things. Matthew: Ohh I would. I’d say it right to her face. Neved: -chuckles- I’d love to see that. Anyways… because of you and your friends, there was just too much interference with out plans. Her 1st thought was to hunt you down personally but she decided against it. “Make sure to keep pests locked up. Make sure powerful trainers are contained.” Honestly, if it were up to me, I’d get rid of you right now. Matthew: Heh. Like you’d be able to. Can you get to the damn point already? Neved: If you weren’t such an annoyance, all of our plans probably would’ve been completed as if now. But you know that whole Melia thing… You have no idea what happened at HQ when Madame X found out Melia had died. I’ve never been the 1 to feel fear… before that day. We lost a lot of good men. Matthew: Ohh wow. This is just great. You guys too? Neved: What do you mean? Matthew: It’s probably not my place to say this but… so you really think she’s dead? Because I don’t. I really don’t. Neved: She is dead. You need to accept it as well. Matthew: Ugh. Everyone needs to stop telling me what to think. It’s my body which means it’s my choice. Neved: …I am annoyed with you Matthew. I expected all of this to really have gotten you worried or something close to it but instead… you’re just being more absurd. But unlike you, your friend Aelita’s fate was far worse than yours. When he finished that sentence, I felt horror inside of me. This bastard did something to Aelita. I’m not sure what but he did something to hurt her. I couldn’t believe that he just told me that out of the blue. He seemed to enjoy the shocked expression on my face though and smiled about it. Matthew: What… What did you do to Aelita? Neved: You know, I wonder… I wonder if you’d be able to stay awake longer than her after her being blasted with electricity. Matthew: You blasted her with electricity!? Why you son of a- -gets up off the couch and goes to punch Neved- Neved: Ahh. So this is what it takes for you to finally feel worried ehh? Matthew: You’re… Y-You’re lying… You have to be! Neved: But I’m afraid I’m not. It’s true… We gave her a little bit of shock therapy. Don’t worry though. It wasn’t anything to major. Matthew: Where is she…? Where the hell is she Neved?! Neved: …You should leave now Matthew. If you’re brought back here by guards, it won’t be pretty. Matthew: Pretty? Pretty?! Neither will your face once I’m done with you! Neved: Guards! Get him out of here and escort him back to the entrance of the castle! I went to hurt Neved but 3 Xen Guards came up from behind me and carried me out of the room and back to the original entrance of the castle and then went back to their posts. I stood there in front of the door with ideas running through my head about what happened with Aelita. I couldn’t believe what I heard. It was dark out now. I walked through the doors going inside. I could see Valarie, Saki and Adam up by the throne area of the room. I quietly walked up to them. Adam was sleeping, Saki was lying on the floor drawing something and Valarie was sitting on the throne. Seeing Val calmed me down a bit but I still couldn’t stop thinking about Aelita and how she was being hurt with electricity. Valarie noticed the look on my face. Valarie: Yikes Matthew… Are you ok? You don’t look so good. Was the warden rough on you? Matthew: Yes… Very much so… Saki: -chuckles- Ohh Matthew. When you hear someone say scatter, that means you scatter! You can’t just stand around waiting to get caught. That’s how people go to jail yo. Matthew: Yea… I’ll remember that for next time. Valarie: Saki, this wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t pull out the antenna in the 1st place. Saki: Well it’s probably already replaced by now. So that’s that. Valarie: Can you at least apologize to Matthew? You did get him in trouble. Saki: I will later. I’m working on something right now. Valarie: Yea. I’ve been meaning to ask you this but what have you been messing around with for the past hour? Saki: They’re details for my next invention. Not sure on the name but I want “Rose” to be in the name. Maybe I could build this thing to get us out of here. Valarie: As much as I’d love for that to happen, that’s most likely not a possibility. Anyways, I’m curious… What did the warden say to you? Adam: Urgh… Huh…? Ohh Matthew. What’s up? Is everything ok? Matthew: The warden, who’s name is Neved by the way, told me what happened to my friend… Apparently, he did some “shock therapy” on her. I have no idea where she is or how she’s doing. Valarie: Wait! Hold on! You’re telling me Aelita’s being tortured by this Neved?! Matthew: Basically… Saki: Val… I’m starting to not feel so good all of a sudden. Matthew: That’s how I’m feeling right now. Valarie: Yea… Me too honestly. Waiting for an opportunity to strike just isn’t in the cards anymore. I think we should actively start trying to find a way out of here. Saki: Matt…? I’m sorry for getting you into trouble. Matthew: Don’t be. Saki: But why? If I didn’t get you into trouble… then you wouldn’t have known about your friend. Matthew: But it’s because of that I’m saying to not apologize to me. While what I found out about her was horrific, I know how she’s doing somewhat now. Adam: Well I’m happy you got to find out but damnit! I’ve been saying to you 2 that we gotta get out of here but you 2 were so set on waiting around. I told you all that this place gave me a bad feeling and now someone’s suffering. Matthew: When I get my hands on him, I’ll make him suffer. Saki: What did she do to get in this much trouble? I told her to behave. Matthew: Heh… That’s just not Aelita’s way. Adam: Besides, you’re not 1 to tell anyone to not act stupid. Saki: You act stupid all the time but you don’t hear me complaining! Matthew: Come on you 2. You need to settle down. Valarie: He’s right. We have to find Aelita’s whereabouts and quickly. Matthew: Where do we even start though? Saki: Well we’ve been all around the castle… We haven’t seen her anywhere. Valarie: Perhaps some of the people around the castle may know something? Matthew: Then we should head back to the quarry and talk to some of the people there. Saki: Sounds like a good idea to me. Adam: Me too. Valarie: Alright. But we have to be careful though. We’re Gym Leaders, well minus you Matt, and after that antenna stunt, we’re probably on the watch list. Let’s try to do this in a way where we all won’t be sent into torturing as well. Matthew: That’s too late for me. Knowing that she’s been tortured is torture enough for me. Adam: Hey. Don’t worry man. We’ll figure something out. Saki: Yea! Don’t lose hope buddy! Valarie: We’ll find her Matt. I promise. Now let’s move out. The 4 of us went out to the quarry and started to talk to people to see if they saw anyone with purple hair. I found a young woman that saw someone like that. Apparently, she was on her way to the warden’s office. The young woman waited to see what happened next because she was curious but the girl never came out. That creeped me out a bit. Did that mean she was… dead? No. I couldn’t believe that. I went to ask more people. Next, I found a boy that had seen her as well. He told me that he had seen her recently but she could be in some sort of trouble. The warden was dragging her by her ponytail when he 1st saw them. Later, he saw the bow she had in her hair in his hand. That made me feel more at ease but I was now confused. The girl said it had been a while since she last saw the girl but yet this boy said that he saw her recently. They contradicted each other. I found Valarie on the beach and spoke to her. Valarie: Ahh Matthew. Did you figure out anything useful? Matthew: More like confusing. 1 person said she hadn’t seen her for a while and another person said he saw her recently. It doesn’t make sense. Valarie: Hmm. So they’re contradicting each other. Hmm… Aelita has to be in some secret area somewhere in the castle. Matthew: A secret place around here? Ohh man. That’s not gonna be easy to find her then. Valarie: Yea… There’s not much we can do for her. Matthew: Wait. Are you saying we’re not gonna go looking for her?! Valarie: Whoa whoa. We will definitely rescue her but when the time comes. We can’t just do what we please. We need to plan this out carefully or our movements will be restricted more than they already are. Matthew: Yea… I suppose you’re right… Valarie: Matt, don’t worry. We’ll rescue her. I promise. But we should go group up with the others though. The day’s about over. Valarie and I walked back near the entrance of the cave. Saki and Adam were already there. We told them what we were able to find out which wasn’t all that much. Valarie suggested that we all go to bed which resulted in Saki arguing with her on if she wants to go to sleep or not. As the squabble continued though, a hooded stranger came walking through the gates. They seemed to be very freezing cold and wet too. The 4 of us were stunned to see this. Adam: Who is that? Matthew: I have no idea but she must have just gotten here. Saki: But none of the guards are here with her. Valarie: Did she swim in the ocean and come up here? ???: S-Someone… please… I need warmth… Turret: Unauthorized person discovered in main castle area! Sending guard to this location at this moment. Xen Guard: Halt! What are you doing here? What’s your name? ???: Please… I-I can’t… I just n-need help right now. Xen Guard: Damnit. Alright. Alright. I’ll take you to the warden’s office. He’ll interrogate you. -walks into the castle with the hooded stranger- Saki: What was up with that? Valarie: No idea… Matthew: That voice… Valarie: Something the matter Matt? Matthew: No… No, nothing’s wrong. Valarie: Well then, I think we should all go back to our cells and get some rest. Adam: Good. I’m tired as hell. Saki: But I still don’t wanna sleep! Valarie: Saki, I’m not arguing with you about this. Matthew: Well I’m gonna listen to you Valarie. I think I need some sleep. Everything right now is just… It’s not good. Valarie: Matt… If you need to talk at any time, you can talk to me. Adam: Me too. Although, I’d prefer if you didn’t do it while I am trying to sleep. Saki: You can talk to me ANY time Matthew! Matthew: Heh… Thanks you 3. I mean it. The 4 of us walked back to our cells. The guards came and locked them up. I laid in bed and tried to sleep. It was hard though. With Aelita being tortured, me not being able to call out my Pokemon and that hooded stranger. I don’t know why but I felt like I knew them for some reason. I was finally able to drift off to sleep. I knew we had to do something tomorrow in order to get out of this place.

My Answer - I want to but would I really do it? Only if he made the situation worse than it already is. Otherwise, I'd just force myself to not go down that path.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 I woke up the next morning. I sat up in bed. I was shocked to see that I was in a cell. But then I remembered about the previous day. I guess I had such a great sleep that I forgot that I was a prisoner in this castle. I got out of bed and stretched to fully wake up. Today, we had to try to come up with a plan to get out of this hell hole. It was in the middle of the morning so I assumed that I would be given my work assignment sometime soon. But instead, fate had something else in store for me. The same hooded stranger that came to the island last night walked up to the front of my cell and looked inwards. I had no idea what was going on. Why was this person on the outside and not a prisoner like the rest of us? She spoke to me in an uncaring tone. ???: You there. Come here. Matthew: -walks up to the bars- How… How aren’t you a prisoner? Emma: That doesn’t matter. The only thing that does matter is that you remember my name. Emma. Matthew: Alright then Emma. What do you want? Emma: Watch. Come poppet. The hooded girl looked to her right as she waited for whoever was coming to get there. I heard Saki gasp in the cell next to me. And soon enough, I could see why. It was Aelita. She didn’t have her hair in a ponytail anymore. And her face seemed devoid of any emotions. Except pain and sadness. I ran up to the bars in shock. I couldn’t believe this was actually happening. Matthew: Aelita! Aelita! Emma: Master Neved has asked me to bring this girl to you as a reminder. Matthew: Reminder?! Reminder of what?! That when the time comes, I’m gonna kick his ass?! Emma: Hmph. Foolish of you to think of that. After her thorough rehabilitation, she has learned to speak only when spoken to. Or perhaps she’s lost the will to speak at all? Matthew: That’s because of you bastards torturing her! Emma: Nevertheless, this is the punishment given to those who refuse to adhere to Neved’s commands. Say hello to your old comrade poppet. Aelita: … Matthew: Aelita… No… Emma: Unfortunately for her and for us, she still needs a bit more work. Matthew: Are you kidding me? A bit more work…? Just leave her alone! She hasn’t done anything wrong to you! Emma: I am sorry… but we’ll break through quickly I presume. Matthew: You… Ugh! Emma: Also, I’m here to give you your 1st order of business. You are on flora duty on the west wing of Blacksteeple Field. From this moment on, passing through the right checkpoint will either result in warning or corporal punishment. Ple- Matthew: Just shut up… Shut up and leave me alone. Emma: …As I was saying, be intelligent with your choices. That’s all for now poppet. Let us return. Aelita left to go back to wherever she was being kept in this hell hole of a prison. Emma went over to Saki’s cell and informed her that she’d be in charge of looking after me for today. She then screamed for the cells to be opened and they were. I slowly walked out of my cell. Saki ran over to see if I was ok. Saki: Oh my Arceus! Are you ok Matt?! Matthew: I… Did you see her Saki? She’s… emotionless. Saki: We have to free her ASAP. Matthew: You’re damn right we do! But what do we do? Saki: Hmm. You knoooow Matthew, I think you should visit the library on the 2nd floor. Matthew: Visit the library? Why? Saki: There’s a certain book you should go read. It’ll be very helpful. Matthew: What? I don’t have time for your games Saki. We need to find a way to save Aelita! Saki: Trust me. We will. Just please do it. It’ll have a purple cover on it. Matthew: …Fine but this better not be a game or a joke. What do I do afterwards? Saki: Come to Blacksteeple Fields. You won’t find me out in the open but… Matthew: But what? Saki: Ohh come on! You have a brain right?! You aren’t like Adam. You can figure this out! Later dude! -runs out of the area- Matthew: Wait! Saki…! Ugh. She’s so weird. -sighs- Might as well go find that library. I went out of the castle and headed up the stairs and opened the doors. The library was where Saki would be. I started to check all of the bookcases. There were a lot here. I searched from top to bottom. It took hours to scope through every bookshelf I was able to look for this book Saki was talking about. At last, I was able to find the book. Of course it was my luck that I found it on the last bookshelf I looked for it. I picked up the book, opened it and started to read it. Matthew: “They say that there’s 1 thing you must do when the being of disaster and misfortune arrives. You must walk past it and hide yourself underneath the bridge of fortune. Only then will you shroud yourself from the eyes of the shadows.” Huh… Some of these words are highlighted. I wonder what this means? I examined the highlighted words over and over. Then I had an idea. I put the book down and left to go to the fields. When I got there, I started to look for a clearing of any sort. It didn’t take me long to finally find it. It was right behind a statue of an Absol. When I got through, I could see Saki there, looking bored out of her mind. When she saw me, she seemed relieved. Saki: Like oh my gawww! Finally! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting here!? Did it really take you that long to figure that out?! Matthew: No. It took me that long to look for it. It only took me about 5 minutes to find this place after I read the book. Saki: Ugh. Well at least you found this place. Matthew: Why didn’t you just tell me about this place before? Saki: Sorry but I couldn’t risk talking about this place out in the open. Matthew: Well… I guess that makes sense. Saki: This place is completely secret. Not even the warden knows about this hidden grove. Matthew: Seriously? Well this is fantastic then. Saki: You don’t even know the half of it! Matthew: What do you mean? Saki: Well we’re also in a blind spot from all points of the castle! So we can do whatever we want! And as you can plainly see, there are no antennas back in this corner. That means you’ll be able to safely use any of your Pokemon while back here! Matthew: What?! That’s great! I… Hold on… What did you just say? Saki: I… Umm… Matthew: You can let your Pokemon out back here?! Saki: Shhh! Keep it down! Matthew: You’ve known about this place and the fact that you can send out your Pokemon from here this whole time?! Saki: Ok. Ok… You got me. But to be honest, all of us actually knew that beforehand. Matthew: Valarie and Adam know about this place too?! Saki: Yes… Matthew: And you couldn’t have told me that instead of making me think that there’s no way at all of sending out my Pokemon?! Saki: Look, we couldn’t just tell you it because you got abducted. What if you were like… a creepy stalker or something?! What would’ve happened if we told you all our secrets? Bad things would happen! That’s what! So you better forgive us. Matthew: -sighs- Alright. Fine. That makes sense. Wait. Where’s Val and Adam? Saki: Those 2 have mining duty at the quarry so it’s just gonna be us. Matthew: But what about the guards? Won’t they notice us missing? Saki: They’re dumb. They won’t notice. But there’s someone I want to introduce to you to. I’m sure you’ll love them! Follow me! Saki rushed upwards into this hidden grotto. I followed suit and was able to catch up to her. When I got there though, I was a bit confused. I could hear someone cheerfully humming a tune and also see a Braixen walking about. Saki scared the Pokemon. When it turned around a noticed me, it ran into the little shack that was behind it. I was now even more confused. Matthew: Uhh… Saki? Where’s the person that you’re trying to introduce me to? Saki: Well technically, it’s a Pokemon and you just saw her run into that little shack. It seems as though I spooked her a bit much though? Matthew: You brought me back here… to meet a Pokemon? Saki: Yep! But trust me. You really wanna meet her. Follow me! Again! -enters the shack along with Matthew- Braixen: Saki! That was so embarrassing…! I didn’t need anyone else to see me like that. Saki: Sorry but we were sort of in a rush! Braixen: Don’t lie to me Saki! I saw you standing outside for a long time! Saki: Well… Blame him! He took so long to find that darn book! Braixen: I just didn’t expect someone other than you or the others to show up when they did. Saki: -sighs- Just relax a little! Jeez! You’re a Pokemon! It’s cute! Anyway, I want to introduce you to my friend Matthew. They’re a part of our group now. Matthew, this is Braixen. Braixen, this is Matthew. Matthew: …Uhh… Braixen: Saki, did you get permission from the others to do this? I know it’s not easy to find this place but a little courtesy would do you wonders girl! Saki: Yea yea. I asked Valarie and Adam already. Would you stop worrying already?! Braixen: …Matthew? Umm… Why is he just staring at me like that? Ohh no! Is there something on my face?! -starts washing her face- Saki: Nah. I just don’t think they’re used to seeing Pokemon talk is all. Matthew: Yea… How exactly is that possible? It’s not like she’s using some kind of telekinesis powers. Or moving her mouth for that matter! Saki: See that thing around her neck? Matthew: Yea? Saki: I built that for her a while back. Pretty impressive huh? Matthew: Wait. You built a Pokemon translator?! Saki: Mhm. Matthew: Wow. You are a genius with inventing stuff. Saki: Finally!~ Someone recognizes my inventions! But anyways, you may be wondering why Braixen is back here all by herself. Matthew: Actually yea. Does she belong to 1 of you? Saki: Umm… Kind of but not really…? She was abducted with us back in Akuwa Town. Braixen: Pretty sure he got that part. Saki: I’m getting there silly! Geez! She’s not actually owned by anyone but we have a PokeBall for her so that she can’t be captured. Valarie returned Braixen to her ball before they got us. If they caught Braixen as she was, we don’t know what would’ve happened. Matthew: Wow… Well I’m glad you’re safe now Braixen. Braixen: Thank you Matthew. If it wasn’t for Saki here, I’d still be in the PokeBall right now. Saki: I found this place while I was doing my assigned job. Matthew: Wait. Why are you here and not kept in your PokeBall? Wouldn’t that be safer? Braixen: I absolutely hate being in that thing! Saki: Yea. She prefers to be outside her PokeBall. So we put her back here to hide. Braixen: I appreciate that but… I may as well be trapped when I’m back here. The only good thing about this place is that the snow feels good on my feet.~ Matthew: Umm… Ok then. Hey. Hold on a second… Saki, didn’t you say before that back here, we could send out our Pokemon? Saki: Yea? Matthew: So why haven’t you and the rest gotten back here, get your Pokemon out of your PokeBalls and get yourselves out of this situation?! Saki: Simple. People who go into situations guns blazing usually just die in the end because they’re not prepared. I remembered back in Carotos Mountain when Keta, Aelita and myself were in the base of Team Xen. None of us had any kind of plan. We just rushed in, hoping to stop them from what they were doing. In the end though, Keta sacrificed himself for me and Aelita. Saki wasn’t totally wrong with that statement. Saki: We all came to a unanimous decision to hold off any retaliation until we can pull it off perfectly. We’re going to need help of every trainer on this island. Matthew: Alright. That does make a lot of sense… But you, Adam and Val are Gym Leaders. Shouldn’t it be easier for you 3? Saki: We maybe Gym Leaders but that’s just a stupid title we hold. We could all be shut down just as easily as anyone else on this island, ya feel? Matthew: I guess… Actually, you guys already fell to them back in Akuwa Town right? Saki: You didn’t need to bring that up but… yes. Braixen: Didn’t we also come to a unanimous agreement we had to keep this place secret? Matthew: Hey. I’m trustworthy. I wouldn’t sell us out or anything like that. Team Xen needs to pay for what they’ve done to all of you and me. Saki: Yea Braixen! You can trust Matthew! I wasn’t that sure either at 1st! Matthew: See? She trusts me. Saki: …Well actually, I’m still not exactly sure. Matthew: What?! After everything that’s happened so far?! Saki: Hey hey. Calm down. Val trusts you so Ido too! Matthew: She does? Saki: Yep. 100%. Matthew: Wow… That’s nice of her. And unexpected. Saki: Can you have your “crush on Valarie” moment later? Matthew: W-What?! I don’t have a crush on her! Saki: Suuuure you don’t. Braixen: Well… Alright. If Valarie trusts you, then I guess I can as well. I guess that means I can tell you what I found back here. Saki: Huh? You found something? Braixen: Mhm. I was looking through the trees, searching for anything useful. And then I came across what seemed to be another castle! Matthew: There’s another castle on this island? Saki: Why would that be the case? Braixen: I’m not sure but it was almost identical to Blacksteeple. There were a few differences but that’s something I couldn’t exactly confirm. Matthew: That doesn’t sound good. Why would they need 2 castles here? Braixen: That’s not the worse of it though. The castle is blocked off by a barrier. Saki: A barrier? Braixen: Yes. I wasn’t certain myself but then the warden walked towards it and touched it himself. I don’t know why there was a barrier there or why there was even a castle to begin with. But it definitely exists and I’m not sure I like it. It gave me a terrible feeling. Matthew: I know that feeling all to well. Now this place is even more dangerous than before. Saki: It is really weird… I don’t think I’ve seen any way we could reach it by foot. Matthew: Urgh! This is all too weird! Why are there 2 castles and why is there a barrier from the other 1?! Saki: I don’t know. I thought that warden owned the place. He can’t enter his own property? Matthew: Maybe it’s someone elses? Before we could get anymore answers, an alarm started to go off. I realized that Saki and I had been gone and not doing a thing for a lot of hours. We said our good byes to Braixen and rushed to get out of the hidden grotto and make sure we got out of there without being seen from there. When we made it back to the fields, we could see a guard looking down at as from a higher ground up on the caste grounds. I was sure that we had messed up and alerted him of where we were. Xen Guard: Miss Blakeory! Matthew! Where have you 2 been?! Matthew: We’ve uhh- Saki: We’ve been just looking at the Absol statue sir! No big deal homie! Matthew: Yea! That! Xen Guard: No big deal is wrong Miss Blakeory. I don’t want you 2 causing us anymore trouble than you have. Matthew: We haven’t been doing a thing. Fuck man. Xen Guard: I want you 2 in my sights at all times. Got that? Matthew: Sure. Saki: I guess. Xen Guard: Good… Now continue and complete the job you 2 were tasked with today. The 2 of us walked up towards the Absol statue and were able to do our job when we saw the hooded girl walk past us and look up at the Absol statue. It was weird to see her do that but then again, we didn’t know her. I felt anger towards her for showing Aelita off to me with the way she was. And yet… I couldn’t help but feel like I knew this person. I wasn’t as mad at her as I should have been. Saki: Well she’s mean. Matthew: Huh? Saki: Well I mean come on! She could have at least say hi or something! Don’t gotta be mean all the time! Matthew: We don’t even know her though. Maybe she’s like that all the time. Saki: -whispering to Matthew- Matthew, go talk to her! Matthew: What? Why? Saki: Just go do it. I’ll do your work for you if you do.~ Fair trade, am I right? Before I could say anything to her, she ran off. I wanted to hit her for just leaving me there like that. I guess I could try to get some kind of info out of her but I wasn’t really sure what to ask. I went up to her and attempted to start a conversation. Matthew: Hi. Emma: Yes? Matthew: I uhh… Well do you… Emma: Is… there something in particular you want from me? Matthew: I’m just trying to make conversation… Emma: Well either start talking or stare at me from a distance. Matthew: I-I didn’t mean to- Emma: As a matter of fact, I don’t want to speak to you. At all. Please move aside. Valarie: And what makes you think you’re better than anyone else here? Matthew: Valarie? What are you doing here? Valarie: I got done with what I was supposed to do and decided to come here. Looks like that was a good choice. I can;’t believe she’s talking to you like that. Emma: Hmph. So you’re sticking up for your friend here huh? Valarie: Damn right I am. Just because you’re Neved’s little pawn doesn’t mean you can go around acting important. Emma: You should shut your mouth. I haven’t done anything. It was Matthew here who approached me 1st. If anything, I’d appreciate you all a bit more if you just left me alone to my own devices. Valarie: Likewise. It’d be a waste to spend time with someone so deplorable. Emma: …Not that you’ll care probably but I don’t approve of what Neved’s doing here. Matthew: You don’t? But you’re helping him. Emma: Well… You know what they say… You gotta do what you gotta do. Matthew: What?! That’s so stupid! Valarie: It is but we should just stop talking to her. Let’s go Matthew. Emma: You know… You remind me a lot of Neved. You 2 are pretty similar. Valarie: What did you just say to me?! Matthew: Whoa whoa! Just calm down Val! Valarie: Did you hear what she just said to me Matt?! Matthew: Yes but you’re nothing like him! Trust me. Valarie: You have 5 seconds to take that back! I am NOTHING like Neved. Emma: Ohh, but are you sure about that Valarie? You’ve shown nothing but hostility for the past few moments. You lsoe your temper way too easily and you take things far too personally. That’s exactly how Neved treated me when he 1st met me. So yea. Pretty similar. Valarie stood there looking at the hooded girl. I could see tears swelling up in her eyes. She turned around and ran off. I felt so bad for her. This girl just made her cry. Matthew: You know, you’re a real bitch. I don’t care what you say to me but you leave Valarie alone. She is nothing like Neved. You got that? Emma: And goodby- Matthew: No. Shut up. Not even gonna let you finish your sentence. You’re a nobody that’s helping Team Xen. You’re trash. And I’m gonna get you back for showing Aelita off like that too. I’m gonna get back at all of you… Emma: Matthew… Matthew: I don’t want to see you again after this. I angrily stomped away from the hooded girl. This was the 1st time in a long time I wanted to punch a girl. Well besides Madelis. I searched for Valarie and eventually found her next to the little waterfall with Saki. She seemed like she was trying to dry up her tears and stop crying. Matthew: Hey. You ok? Valarie: Ohh Matt… I’m sorry for crying in front of you like this. Matthew: It’s ok. That girl really got me mad. Valarie: Shouldn’t I be the 1 mad? Matthew: I mean yea but- Saki: I can’t believe she said that to you Val. Valarie: …I don’t know who she thinks she is but I am NOTHING like Neved! Matthew: You don’t have to convince us of that Val. We already know this. Saki: Yea. You shouldn’t believe a creep’s word! Come on! Let me see you smile! We got each other don’t we? Valarie: Yea I know… Thanks Saki. And you too Matt. Matthew: No problem. Saki: Well I think we’re done for the day right? Matthew: You’re saying that Saki? I was expecting you to have another fit about not wanting to go back in your cell yet. Saki: Well with everything that just happened, I thought I’d be nice this once and call it early. Valarie: Yea… Yea, let’s just end this day. I think I’ve had enough of this. The 3 of us walked back inside of the castle and hung around with each other for a while. Adam joined us shortly. To pass the time, we talked about our lives before this whole thing happened. We talked about the good times, the bad times and the weird times. It was very enjoyable. It almost made me forget about everything that was happening to us. Almost. When it was dark, the guards ordered us to get back into our cells. Before I could get into mine though, Valarie pulled me to the side for a minute. Matthew: Hey. Everything ok? Valarie: Yea… Matthew: Well… we should get back to our cells if we don’t… -gets hugged by Valarie- wanna… Valarie: I heard what you said to that Emma person. Thank you for standing up for me Matthew. Matthew: Heh… It was no problem Valarie. She let go and looked at me with a happy smile on her face. I went back to my cell and laid down on the bed. Despite everything that happened today, it was at most a somewhat decent day. I was able to make Valarie feel better but Aelita was in big trouble. I closed my eyes and eventually drifted off to sleep.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 The next day, I woke up. It felt like I had been asleep for 12 hours or more. I got out of bed, stretched and was getting mentally prepared for whatever we were gonna be doing today to get out of this situation. When I looked over to the cell, I could see that it was opened. That was very strange. Was someone in my cell area with me? Or was it just open to let the prisoners out and about? I looked up at a clock and could see that it was 2 in the afternoon. I literally slept for 17 hours. Was I really that tired? I couldn’t believe it. I ran out and ran up the stairs. When I made it to the top, Valarie was there. It seemed she was waiting for me to come up there. Valarie: There you are. Geez. You’re a heavy sleeper. Matthew: Sorry. I have no idea how I slept for that long. I didn’t even feel that tired. Valarie: Well you must have been really tired. Saki, Adam and I all tried to wake you up but we couldn’t do it. Matthew: Damn… This whole thing must be really getting to me then. Valarie: You mean Aelita? Matthew: Yea… Valarie: That would make sense… Anyways, Saki told me that she introduced you to Braixen? Matthew: Yea. Wasn’t expecting her to talk but I think I’m used to it by now. Valarie: When Saki’s involved, prepare to expect the unexpected. Anyways, I’d liek you to meet up where Braixen is. Matthew: Why? You got a plan brewing? Valarie: Well… Yea… Maybe… Not really. But I think it’s time we start to devise a plan on how to get all of us out of here. Matthew: Yea. I agree. We need to get out of here and fast. Valarie: The longer we stay passive, the more I feel like we’re grasping at straws. Matthew: Wait. Was I given an assignment today? Valarie: You were but don’t worry about that. You were put on flower duty again but I asked Saki to do that for you. Matthew: Wow. And she did it without complaining? Valarie: I know you’ve only know her for about 2 days but even you should know her by now. She whined about it. But then when I told her that she’d be paying you back for getting you into trouble, she sighed and reluctantly agreed to do it. Matthew: Heh. I’ll have to thank her. Valarie: I’m heading over to where Braixen is now. Come there as soon as possible. Matthew: Let’s just go together. I’m not doing anything now. Valarie: Alright. Let’s go then. The 2 of us exited the castle and and made our way to the field area of Blacksteeple. It felt nice to walk alongside of Valarie. There were many times that I just wanted to reach out and grab her hand while walking but I knew this wasn’t the time or place for this kind of thing, even though I really wanted to do that. When we made it to the spot, we made sure that the guards weren’t watching us. When the coast was clear, we went through the opening and inside the shack. Braixen was there, reading a book. The 2 of us joined her. Braixen: Ohh! Valarie and… Matthew right? Matthew: Yep. You got it. Braixen: Ohh thank Arceus. I was worried I’d mess that up. Valarie: Hey Braixen. What’s with this book? Braixen: Hmm? Ohh. I dunno. It was there when I got here. It’s pretty heavy stuff. Too heavy for me personally, but you can see that it was taken out by a person named Anathea. Matthew: Ahh… I see… Valarie: Well disregarding the books, I thought we’d come up with some strategy. Braixen: Ohmigosh! We’re finally going to get something done around here? Matthew: How long exactly have you all been here for? Braixen: Counting today, almost a full 2 weeks. Matthew: Damn. You’ve been sitting around for 2 weeks Val? Valarie: Don’t even. I thought we’d have more time but with what’s been going on lately, we have to act now. Braixen: Well count me in. I can’t stand being in this frigid shed any longer. Have you considered any possible directions we could take this? Valarie: Well let’s see… We can’t have everyone in the castle come back here. Matthew: Yea. It’d be too suspicious if everyone were gone at the same time. Valarie: Plus, not everyone is allowed on this site at the same time. Matthew: Hmm… I know! What if we just took the other trainers’ Pokemon out here and called them out? Valarie: I considered that but then a problem might come out of it. Braixen: What problem would that be? Valarie: Well there’s a couple to be exact. What if they freak out seeing us there instead of their trainer? O-Or if we send them out and some of them are natural predators to the others? It’s too high risk, high reward. Just then, we could hear the guard yelling out to Saki. Apparently she was doing something she wasn’t supposed to. But knowing her, this was the usual. The 3 of us ran out of the shack in case she would need some kind of help. We listened in as the 2 of them had the weirdest argument that I might have ever heard in my life. Matthew: Wow… Is Saki really Japanese? Guard: Damnit! I’ve had enough! Fire! Braixen: W-Wait a minute! Didn’t you guys tell me that the turret on this side was faulty? Valarie: Ye… Ohh no. Matthew: What’s going on? Valarie: Look out! The turret fired but instead of going to wherever it was intended to go, the laser shot off towards us and hit some trees. The 3 of us hit the ground in case there were gonna be more misfires. When we didn’t hear anymore firing, we cautiously got up off the ground. The area was now all smokey. I could barely see Braixen or Valarie. Matthew: Holy fuck… Valarie: Yikes… That’s a really faulty laser alright… Braixen: That thing almost hit us! Valarie: You’re not kidding. I think it hit some trees. We should go check and make sure there’s not a fire. We can’t afford having attention brought this way. -walks to where the laser hit with Braixen and Matthew- Luckily no fire but those trees are so gone. Matthew: Do those lasers disintegrate anything they blast? Braixen: Seems like it. Valarie: But take a look at this! -points out an entrance of some kind on top of some rocks- Matthew: Is that a cave entrance to somewhere?! Valarie: Damn sure looks like it… Braixen: But how are we going to get up there? Valarie: Hmm… Valarie dug into her pockets and pulled out a hammer and a chisel and started to chip away at the rocks. It took some time but eventually, she was able to make stairs out of them. I was impressed that she was able to do that. Matthew: Nice job Val. Now we can investigate that. Valarie: Yea… Can’t say I’m a fan of this thing though. You take it Matt. -hands it over to Matt- Matthew: -takes it from Valarie- Thanks but what if you need this? Valarie: If the guards ask, I’ll just tell them that the old 1 got destroyed on the job. Now let’s check out what this cave has to offer us. The 3 of us walked up the man made stairs and into the cave. Instantly, an awful smell was going through my nostrils. I would rather be in the Abandoned Sewers back in Gearen City at this point. It was also very hot. That also didn’t go very well with me. Matthew: Fuck this place stinks! Braixen: Yea. It’s awful. Valarie: Kind of smells like… burning dust and rubber. Matthew: Sure it’s not shit? Sure smells like it. Braixen: Whatever it is, it’s the worst smell ever. Yuck! Valarie: What’s the purpose of this cave? Matthew: Well let’s go deeper into the cave… as long as this stink doesn’t kill my sense of smell. Braixen: Yea. You’re not going to find out anything if you just stand here! The 3 of us walked down some steps and could see some metal things in the ground. It seemed like maybe a protective cover for some possible electricity wires. When we got closer to a door, we all could hear voices. We crept closer as close as we could and tried to listen in on the conversation. Madelis: Are you kidding? You can’t fix a simple program like this? Mom: I’m sorry but I just wasn’t made like the others… I don’t know anything about this program. Nastasia: It’s just an overheating issue. How hard could that be to fix? Mom: I just… I don’t know. Madelis: I told you that whole thing with the S.S. Oceana was a bust. And you got in trouble for doing an unauthorized mission for this trash? What’s even the point of keeping all these people in the castle? Did you know that Madame X gave Neved my room? MY room! Nastasia: Madelis, I already explained the purpose of keeping all of the people here. Plus, orders are orders. If you didn’t fail at Carotos Mountain, things may have ended up better for you. Anyways, stop complaining. You can have your room after Madame X is done with them. Madelis: Ahh. So Madame X has finally decided to slaughter them all? I heard Neved say that she’s going to be arriving soon. Tomorrow I think? Nastasia: She’s not going to slaughter them all in the way you’re thinking. Her methods are quite unconventional when it comes to blatant murder at least… Madelis: Why do you trust Madame X so much Nastasia? If I recall correctly, you’ve got absolutely nothing on the line here. Why even do what you’re doing? Nastasia: That’s none of your concern Madelis and frankly- Mom: Um… I really can’t fix it. Nastasia: Ohh. You’re so boring that I forgot that you were here. If you were smart, you probably would have just walked away without saying a word. But you’re not that smart are you? You musn’t be if you can’t fix a simple issue. Madelis: Wow. That was rude even for my standards. I think you hurt her feelings. Nastasia: Ohh please. Don’t act as if it can feel anything. Anyways, if she can’t fix our problem then we’re going to find a different approach. Madelis: I heard Neved has a Froslass. Perhaps we can get it to cool this place down? Nastasia: Anything to get out of this place. It’s absolutely horrid in here. Valarie: Madame X… Is that their leader? Matthew: I’ve heard that name thrown around a lot whenever I run into them. Braixen: Well whoever she is, she’s going to be here soon… Oh no! No no no no! We can’t let that happen! Valarie: We’re not going to let that happen. Matt, we… Matt? Is everything ok? Matthew: Yea. Just… 1 of those voices… It sounded familiar… Valarie: Someone you know? Matthew: It does but… it can’t be who I think it is… Forget what I’m saying. Let’s do whatever we’re gonna do. Braixen: What are we doing?! She said that woman is gonna be here tomorrow! Valarie: Well, we’ll just have to speed up our plans. Matthew: Do we even have a plan yet? Valarie: Shush. In the meantime, we should check out what they were fiddling with. The 3 of us started to walk up the steps but when we did, the door in front of us started to open. We got prepared for whatever trouble was about to come through those doors. But who I saw come through almost made me faint. It was her. It was my own mother. I was right. She was 1 of the voices I heard through those doors. My jaw dropped and I stood there just staring at her. Finally, after almost 2 weeks, I finally found my mother. Mom: Ah…! Braixen: Oh no… She saw us Valarie! Valarie: Don’t worry! I’ll get her myself! Matthew: No wait Valarie! Stop…! Valarie: What!? Our enemy is right in front of us Matthew! We can’t stop now! Matthew: She’s not our enemy! Valarie: Then what is she then?! Matthew: My mother! Mom: Matthew… Valarie: Hold on… This person is your mother?! Matthew: Yes… She is… Mom: It is true but- Nastasia: What are you doing out there? Just take what you need and get back here! Mom: …I’m sorry but I can’t talk anymore. Matthew: Wait. Why are you helping them?! Mom: I… I can’t answer that at this time. Matthew: What!? Mom: But listen. Before you leave, please take a look at the device above here. I will distract Nastasia and Madelis so that they won’t disturb you. Valarie: But won’t you get in trouble for doing that? Mom: Maybe but it’ll be worth it knowing that I’ve helped you all in some way. And Matthew…? We’ll have our moment. So don’t worry about me ok? Matthew: Mom… Ok mom… Thank you… My mom looked at me and gave me a little smile and then went back inside to distract Madelis and Nastasia. I couldn’t believe it. I finally found her. I finally found my mother and we still were separated. It killed me. I wanted to rescue her right now at this very point. But what she was doing now was very important. Valarie: Matt… I know this is all very shocking to you but we gotta get going and see what’s up there. Matthew: Yea… Yea I know… Valarie: Gotta say though, she’s a nice lady… Why is she working with Team Xen though? Matthew: Long story short, me and her were on the S.S. Oceana. Team Xen attacked us and they kidnapped almost every passenger on that ship. I’m the only 1 that escaped that wreck. Valarie: That’s… horrible. Matthew: Tell me about it. Valarie: You know, I remember hearing something about that in the news. If that’s the case, are all the S.S. Oceana passengers here at the castle? Matthew: I’ve recognized some of them in the castle. So yea. They are. Valarie: Then that means the captain’s here too right? Matthew: Well… I haven’t seen him anywhere but I would assume so. Braixen: What does that mean for us? Valarie: It means that we can have him get us all out of here. We’re on an island and if Madame X is coming, then I’m assuming she’s coming by boat. Matthew: Hmm… I think I get what you’re getting at here. We gather everyone, take out her and Team Xen, take her boat and strand them here and get outta here. Is that right? Valarie: That’s the idea. Braixen: That’s a good idea but how are we going to fight back? Valarie: I uhh… Matthew: Haven’t gotten that far yet huh? Valarie: Matthew…! Matthew: What?! I’m just being honest! Valarie: I’m sure an idea will come in time. Come on though. Let’s see what’s up here. The 3 of us walked to the top of the structure and looked it over. I had no idea what any of this stuff was. I wasn’t a mechanical nerd of any sort. I couldn’t even begin to explain what this stuff did. Valarie however seemed to have found something great. Valarie: This machine… It’s controlling the nullification signal around the castle! Matthew: Wait. Are you sure?! Valarie: Yes! Braixen: Ohh! This is great! So if we stop this machine from functioning, everyone will be able to use their Pokemon once again? Valarie: That’s about right. Matthew: Yes! Everything is turning in our favor now! Braixen: Something… about this looks all wrong though. Matthew: Ohh don’t say that Braixen. You’re gonna ruin the good mood. Braixen: I’m just telling the truth. This whole machine. It’s running just a simple program that allows the signal to pass through the area. But right now, it’s going through a whole lot of stress. Matthew: Why’s that? Braixen: Hmm… Take a gander at this icon here. Braixen started to explain everything about this machine. 1 of the screens seemed as if someone tried to sabotage it which could cause it to overheat. What she said next though was a bit worrying. It was a ticking time bomb. This machine was the reason why it was so damn hot in this cave. Braixen got the idea though to sever the wires from the pipes on the ground below us which would then make the antennas cease to function. I was kind of surprised she was this knowledgeable about all of this. Matthew: Braixen, I don’t mean to pry into your life but how do you know so much about this stuff? Braixen: Well whenever Saki was in class, I’d hang out at the community center. A gal learns a thing or 2 from listening to geeks talk about nonsense. Matthew: Uhh… Where is all that at? Valarie: Grand Dream City. Have you ever been there before? Matthew: I’ve heard of the name but never been to the actual place itself. Valarie: Well maybe sometime I’ll show you around the place. We gotta get out of here 1st though. Braixen: Well we should head back down and see what we can do about these pipes. -goes down to the lower ground with Valarie and Matthew- Matthew: I’m gonna be honest, unless someone tells me what to do, I have no idea what any of this stuff does, Braixen: Ok. So if I remember what Saki taught me… These boxes are what we need to cut. Valarie: Are you sure? Braixen: Yes. Cutting the pipe that extends the other ones will also work but… Matthew: What’s the bad news now? Braixen: See these small boxes? They’re basically backup generators. Matthew: So even if we cut the wires, the function of our PokeBalls will still fail. Braixen: Well there will be a time limit but too long for us to just wait for it to run out of power. We have to destroy these and then cut the pipe leading into the machine itself. And that… happens to be right here. There’s another 1 opposite to this 1 as well. Valarie: I saw some pipes with some wiring coming out of it. Is that a concern in any way? Braixen: Nope. But it does explain that faulty turret you told me about earlier. Valarie: Well alright then! Let’s burn these boxes then! Matthew: Let’s do this! Braixen: Are you 2 insane?! Do you really want me to heat up this room anymore than it already is? Matthew: Well what’s the problem now? Braixen: 1 blast of fire would be enough to send us packin’! Valarie: Well do you have any suggestions on what we can do? Braixen: I don’t but maybe Saki can make something useful… Valarie: Hmm. After that display earlier back in the fields, she’s probably back in her cell. Matthew: Leave it to me! I’ll go to her and see if she can do something to solve this problem. Valarie: Ok Matthew. We’re counting on you. Good luck. Braixen: You got this Matthew! I started to head back towards the cells. I had so much going through my mind though. How we were gonna get out of here. How we were going to rescue Aelita. How we were gonna rescue my mom. My mom was actually here. I couldn’t get that thought out of my head. My mom was alright and well. 2 weeks apart and now reunited. Even though we weren’t at the current moment. When I finally made it to Saki’s cell, I looked into her cell. She didn’t seem to care that she was in there. Saki: Matthew! You’re here! Matthew: Do I even wanna know what you did to get locked up in here? Saki: Probably not. Matthew: Won’t ask then. Anyways, I think we found the source of that signal. Saki: Really? That’s awesome! You guys can take that out yourselves right? Matthew: Uhh… Well… Saki: HA! I’m kidding. If you could, you wouldn’t be here right now. Matthew: Well you don’t have to be a smartass about it. Saki: So you need me to build something strong enough to cut through metal huh? Matthew: Yea. You got anything you can make in your cell? Saki: I don’t have anything in here to build for something like that. Matthew: -sighs- Damnit. Saki: Hmm… I have a small idea but it may just be enough! Matthew: Great! Lay it on me! Saki: Remember that antenna I ripped out of the ground? Matthew: How can I not? Saki: Find it, bring it to me and I might be able to do something with it. Matthew: Find it? But I have no idea where it landed. Saki: I think I saw it somewhere by the castle. More specifically, on top of the walls. Matthew: Alright. I’ll get to searching. I went back outside of the castle and started to search the tops of the walls of the castle. At this time, it was starting to get dark. It didn’t take me long for me to find it. A Xen Guard was right there next to it. I don’t know but I just strolled right on up and tried to take it from him while he was watching. Of course, he stopped me as soon as I attempted to even touch it. Xen Guard: Hey! What do you think you’re trying to do?! Matthew: Umm… I need to take this for a bit. Xen Guard: For what?! Matthew: I uhh… It’s just laying up here and not being used… Just gonna throw it away. Xen Guard: Ha! Nice try! This obviously fell from space! It’s mine! Matthew: -thinking to myself- He thinks this antenna fell from space…? How stupid are these people? Adam: Hey. Guard. Matthew: Adam? Xen Guard: What do you want? Adam: There’s some trouble going on in Blacksteeple Field. We’re going to need you to come with us right now! Xen Guard: …Fine. I’ll go with you 2 but this antenna is coming with me! Adam: Heh… That’s no problem. The guard followed us as we walked him to where the “trouble” was. Technically, it was Adam leading the way. He obviously had a plan and I didn’t know what it was. So I just followed suit. We were coming up to where the hidden grotto was and soon, we were in it. The guard seemed very puzzled by this place. He led him up a bit further up. Valarie was standing there, waiting for us. Xen Guard: Hey. Wh-What’s going on here? Valarie: Sorry but you have something we need. Xen Guard: Huh? What could I possibly have that would help- Wait…! This space antenna! It’s mine! Adam: Space antenna? Seriously? Xen Guard: You! This is why you were truly trying to take this away from me weren’t you!? Matthew: Well… guess you got me. Xen Guard: So all of this was a set up… Adam: Guilty as charged… Xen Guard: Wow… I can’t believe how incredibly STUPID the 3 of you are! I’ll just use my Pokemon to safely leave! And after that, I’m going to report you and this place to the warden! Matthew: Ha… Hahaha… Hahahahahaha! Xen Guard: What… What’s so funny?! Valarie: Not sure if you noticed or not but there aren’t any antennas or turrets back here. Which means 1 thing. We can fight back! Xen Guard: You… you won’t be able to take me down! Valarie: You’re not battling me. Adam: Or me. Matthew: You know… You’re not Neved… You’re not that Emma person… You’re not even an executive of Xen… But you people have pissed me off… Xen Guard: W-W… I don’t- Matthew: Quiet! I’m not done talking…! You take my good friend and torture her… You treat me and my new friends like shit and think you can get away with it… You people even went onto the S.S. Oceana and abducted those people… 1 of them being my mom! Xen Guard: What are… What are you getting at!? Matthew: All of this pent up aggression? And you being here right now? I need some stress relief. I threw out my PokeBall and the battle began. It felt so good to battle someone after not being able to do it for almost 2 days. My Pokemon seemed to have be aggravated too. Their hits were way harder than usual. It seems they wanted to take out their frustrations as well. At the end of the battle, I was victorious. But this wasn’t really a battle. It was more like a massacre. The Xen Guard looked up at me with fear in his face. Adam: Holy shit… Valarie: Whoa… Well bam, slam, thank you ma’am. We’re going to be taking that antenna now. I’m gonna give this to Saki. I’m sure you 2 can handle the rest? Adam: With Matthew here, I think we could handle anything. Matthew: Yea… We got it Val. Don’t worry. Valarie: Good. Be back in a couple of minutes.~ -leaves the area- Adam: And as for you… We’re going to have a little talk. Even though Adam said that, no talking happened. Both me and Adam gave a good couple of punches to the Xen Guard’s face, knocking him out. We tied him up and then put him in a ditch. We then went back to the open area of the hidden grotto and waited for Valarie to return. When she did, Adam voiced out his concerns. Adam: Ok. 1st off… Have you all completely lost your minds?! Matthew: Honestly, maybe a little. Adam: Uhh… Well- Valarie: What are you talking about Adam? Adam: I’m talking about this whole plan you’ve all “cleverly” come up with. Valarie: All I asked was for you to help Matthew and Saki make something we could use- Adam: Y-Yea. I know and I made a decision I wasn’t proud of… Matthew: You mean knocking that guy out? Don’t get down on it. It’s not worth it. You did kind of show up at a good time though. I was really fucking that up big time. Adam: Trust me. I know. I went to speak with Saki and she told me you were looking for some antenna. All I thought I had to do was go on a treasure hunt for a stupid antenna. Suddenly, we’re both punching the guard and then we put his body in a ditch. Valarie: Still worked out didn’t it? Now we have an antenna that doubles as a laser, thanks to Saki. Matthew: We’ll be able to disable the signal and leave here… with everyone. Valarie: And that all happens tomorrow. Just then, the turrets started to go off. A cell search was going to happen which meant that we all had to go back to our cells. We knew that if we didn’t show up, we’d be punished somehow. Before leaving though, Valarie went inside the shack and gave the laser to Braixen. When she came back out, we walked back to our cells and went inside. What happened next though, we didn’t expect. Guard: Good. Now that everyone is snuggled tightly in their cells… CLOSE ‘EM! MEANWHILE IN AKUWA TOWN Wynaut: Wynaut... ???: Ooo! A Wynaut? Here? Hmm...

Wy… Naut... -tears dwelling up in its eyes- Nim: Huh? Oh no no! Don't cry little Wynaut! I'm sure he'll get out of whatever situation he's facing. That's just the kind of person he is.

J-Awesome_One Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Saki: What the fuck is this?! Valarie: Hey! What’s going on!? I thought this was just a cell search! Xen Guard: I guess you could say we had a change of plans. You all will be going to bed early tonight. Adam: What the hell?! For what reason?! Xen Guard: We’re going to have a visitor coming 1st thing in the morning. We’re going to need you all to be in top shape before that happens. Saki: Matthew, I have a really bad feeling about this! Matthew: I know Saki! I know! I do too! Saki: Valarie told me about Madame X coming soon and if that visitor they’re talking about is her… Matthew: We are fucked right now. Saki: Ohh no. Braixen won’t know when to disable the signal herself… Ugh! If only there was a way out of these cells… I started to look around my tiny cell for any way to escape. I looked under the bed for a possible trap door of any kind. I threw the books off of the bookshelf hoping there was some kind of hidden switch or something. I even knocked over the potted plant hoping for something to happen. Nothing. There was nothing. I was so mad at this point. I went over to the wall in front of me and hit it out of anger. Then I noticed something. This bit of the wall here was crumbling. I stood back and looked at it. The whole thing was crumbling. I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t noticed this before. I also couldn’t believe Team Xen here didn’t notice that. I took out the mining kit Valarie had given and me and started to chip away at the wall. In a matter of minutes, the wall crumbled and I was able to escape. Matthew: Ha… Hahaha… I-I did it! Saki: What was that noise Matthew?! Matthew: I can escape from here Saki! Saki: You have?! Great! You gotta find a way to Braixen right now! And when you do find her, tell her to cut the wires right now! We won’t have another chance! Matthew: Right! We’re gonna get out of here tonight! I looked through the hole to make sure that this wasn’t some kind of trap set by Team Xen. When I seen there was nothing wrong, I started to walk through the cave. It was kind of smokey in this cave and warm as well. I came across another cave hole. When I went through it however, I was surprised to see that there was someone here and they seemed to have made this area a livable area as well. When the person turned around, she jumped back. As we both looked at each other, we realized we knew each other. Piano Lady: Hey. Wait a minute… Aren’t you that kid who was on the S.S. Oceana? Matthew: Weren’t you the person playing the piano on the S.S. Oceana? Piano Lady: You are him! Matthew: And you’re her! You saved me on that day. Piano Lady: I’m so glad… I didn’t see you anywhere on the island so I thought something terrible happened. Matthew: No. I was saved by someone’s Pokemon and started my journey and it’s been a crazy ride since then. Piano Lady: That’s great… So I see you managed to find my little humble abode? Matthew: Yea. Hey wait. Are you the reason the cell’s wall was that crumbly? Piano Lady: I sure am. After they threw me in that nasty cell, I decided that I didn’t want to be a part of it. Matthew: You know, I’d ask how you even were able to bash a hole through the wall of your cell but considering I remember you pushing a piano of the side of the edge, I’m not gonna question your strength. Piano Lady: Hehe. Ohh stop. You’re gonna make me blush. Anyways, as you can see, I stole some books and managed to drag a couch down here. Don’t even ask me how I was able to do that. But this is all I need to keep living. Matthew: Well I suppose you are doing good for yourself. Piano Lady: Mhm. But the big question here is what are you doing here? Matthew: Ohh yea! My friends and I have figured a way to get off of this island! I’m on my way to finalize the rest of the plan right now. Piano Lady: You’ve found a way to get us all out of here? I guess I did all of this for nothing huh? Haha. Matthew: Well I don’t blame you for doing what you did. Piano Lady: So where do you need to go? Matthew: Blacksteeple Field. I have to get rid of this weird signal that interrupts our PokeBalls. Piano Lady: I see. In that case, I maybe be able to help you with getting there. Well at least to get outside. Matthew: That’d be great! Piano Lady: I was actually running out of air in here. So I was forced to open the place up a bit. Go out this way and you’ll be able to reach the quarry. I know that’s not exactly close but… Matthew: No no! This is a big help! I was afraid I’d have to bust open a hole by myself but this will be easier. Piano Lady: Good. I’d help you out but all I have is my Jigglypuff and I know that wouldn’t help much. I’d probably get in your way more than help… Matthew: Hey. You did a lot to help out. This is seriously great. You know… it’s funny. Piano Lady: What is? Matthew: This is the 2nd time you’re saving me. Piano Lady: Ohh… W-Well I mean, I’m not really saving you now. Just helping out. You’re the 1 here who’s saving us. All of us. Matthew: I guess I am. Piano Lady: Hold on for a couple of seconds though. -peeks out side and looks around and then comes back inside- Alright. It seems they know that you’ve escaped. They have their guards out there looking for you. Matthew: Really? You’d think they’d just go through the hole I created to find me. Piano Lady: Yea… Maybe they’re not all their in the head. But either way, be careful Matthew. Matthew: I will be. You get out of here and try to find my friends. And don’t worry. You’ll be able to know who they are when you meet them. Piano Lady: Ok. See you. The Piano Lady went back through the hole in the cave to go back to the castle. I carefully went out of the cave which did in fact lead me to the quarry. Just as she said, there were guards out there looking for me. I had to do a lot of sneaking around, hiding and running around to keep them from seeing me. It took a while but I was able to get to the hidden grotto. I went to the shack but couldn’t find Braixen on there. I figured she was inside the cave. So I rushed inside and sure enough, she was there. She was shocked seeing me running towards her. Braixen: Matthew? What are you doing here? I thought there was a cell search going on? Matthew: Listen to me Braixen. I can’t explain right now but we need to cut the piped right now. Braixen: But I thought the plan was to wait til tomorrow? Matthew: The plan has changed! We need to do it now! Braixen: Ok. Ok. Well I suppose we can do it now. But there’s something I have to tell you really quick. Matthew: What is it? Braixen: Upon further investigation, it seems like the letters on the boxes represent what its powering up. The ones with the L controls the turrets and the ones with the R controls the antennas. Turns out that some antennas are hidden inside turrets but this is where things get weird. Matthew: What do you mean weird? Braixen: I’m not sure when it happened but it looks like someone already cut through turret power supplies. Matthew: Really? Hmm… Braixen: I don’t know who could’ve done it… I’ve been here the whole time but no 1 passed through here in that time. Matthew: That is weird but if they did that, then that means they’re on our side right? Let’s go finish the job then. Braixen: Yea. Let’s go and find those boxes we need to zap away. Braixen and I went on the search to find the boxes. When we did, she used her attacks to cut through the boxes and disconnect them. After that, we went over to the pipes that connected the machine directly to them which were by the stairs. We went over to them and broke through them. At last it was done. Matthew: So that means we can use our Pokemon right? Braixen: You should be able to now. The signal should be gone by now. Turret: WARNING! Nullification signal is now offline! Warning! Nullification signal is now offline! Matthew: Fuck… Braixen: Uh oh… I didn’t think we’d be notified out loud about this! ??? What the hell is going on? Matthew: And it’s about to get worse. The magnetic door opened up. 2 people came out. I recognized Madelis but the other 1 took me a few moments to realize who she was. Then it clicked. She was the other person that was on the S.S. Ocean when it was being attacked. Matthew: You! So you’re the other 1 from the S.S. Oceana attack right? Nastasia: Ugh. It would be you… Madelis: Suddenly I’m not too surprised either. Mom: Matthew! Matthew: Mom! Nastasia: You knew about this didn’t you? Is that why you were so adamant about taking care if the situation by yourself? Mom: Does it matter now? Nastasia: …A whole lot is making sense right now. Madelis: You heard the alarm right? You all can use your Pokemon now? Matthew: Yep and I plan on using mine against you right here and now! Braixen: Uhh… Yea! I am a Pokemon 1st of all! 2nd of all, w-we’re not afraid of you! Nastasia: And that’s where you’ve messed up. You should be afraid. We’re going to make sure we clean up this mess before it gets to be too much. Matthew: As if you’ll get the chance to do that. Madelis: Shut up Matthew. In fact, leave Matthew to me… I need to redeem myself. Nastasia: Yea. You really do. So get to it. As for me, I’ll take care of this Braixen. Shouldn’t be too difficult at all. Braixen: …Eep… Nastasia: Aw. What’s wrong? Not used to battling? Well guess what? You can’t live in this world without doing it at least once. Guess you’ll learn now. Braixen: I… I… Matthew: Braixen… Braixen, you stand behind me! I’ll take the both of them on by myself! Braixen: What?! But Matt- Matthew: You’re not good at battling right? So just stand behind me and I’ll protect you. Braixen: Matthew… I’m sorry. Matthew: It’s alright. It’s what friends do for each other. But maybe after this, I’ll train with you to gain some battling experience. Braixen: R-Right… Thank you. Mom: Matthew… No. -runs down the steps and stands in front of Braixen- You leave the both of them alone Nastasia! I’ll be your opponent now! Nastasia: Oh? Now this is quite the shock. Are you finally showing initiative? Matthew: Heh. You have no idea what you’re dealing with creep. Nastasia: Haha. You have no idea boy but I’m fine with this. Let’s get this going. The battle between me and Madelis started. It didn’t help me that I only had 5 Pokemon on me but I was able to stay on top of her and defeat her in battle. She seemed displeased with herself. I looked over to Nastasia and my mom. It seemed that my mother came out the victor of their match. I was pleased to see that. Nastasia: Ugh. Your team is so annoying. Madelis: Urgh! Nastasia: And what’s wrong with you? Sad because you lost again? Matthew: Should you really be talking Nastasia? You’ve lost as well. Nastasia: … While I hate to admit it, it seems you’re right. You annoying brat. Mom: Hey! Don’t you dare- Matthew: It’s chill mom. I’ve been called worse. Madelis: I swear to you, next time I’ll be sure to beat you! Matthew: I look forward to our next confrontation then. Nastasia: Come on Madelis. Let’s go. -goes back into the room with Madelis- Matthew: Well they’re taken careo- Ooof! My mom ran up to me and gave me a big hug. I almost fell down but luckily caught myself. I smiled and returned the hug back. She stood back and looked at me. Matthew: Everything alright? Mom: Yes. Just… in just a matter of a couple of weeks, you look so different. Matthew: I do? I don’t see it. Mom: I guess what I mean is… the aura around you? I’m not sure how to explain it. But Matthew! It’s so great to finally reunite after all this time. Braixen: Umm… Mom: What’s wrong dear? Braixen: I… I just wanted to thank you both for protecting me earlier… Matthew: It’s no problem Braixen. Braixen: It’s just… I’m not a very good battler. So I would’ve been hurt pretty badly if I had to fight. Mom: Ohh! It was no problem at all! Anything for friends of Matthew! Matthew: Plus don’t forget. When we get out of here, I’m gonna help you train remember? Braixen: Heh… Yea I do… But enough about that. Everyone can use their Pokemon now. I’m going to assume outside is going to be hectic. Matthew: That’s true but if we stick together, we’ll be fine. Braixen: Yea. I guess you’re right! Then we should meet everyone then yea? I’m sure they’re going to need our help! Mom: Yes. You are correct. Let’s get to it. Matthew: You 2 go on ahead. I’m gonna make sure that none of our enemies sneaked in here during our battles. Mom: Alright son. Don’t take too long. Braixen and mom left together. I searched the entirety of the cave but I couldn’t see an enemies. After I made sure that the cave was Xen free, I left and went to catch up with mother and Braixen. As I was getting closer to the field, I could hear Pokemon battles going on. When I snuck past a tree, the air was all foggy and there was a red light lighting down towards us. This was now a battlefield. I could see mom standing there. Matthew: Mom. There you are. It’s a mess out here isn’t it? Mom: It really is. I knew it was gonna get messy but not this bad. Matthew: Hey. Where’d Braixen go? Mom: She said she’d go on ahead but the guards have caught up with us. Matthew: Ohh? Is that so? Good. I’ve been meaning to let out my frustrations. Seems like this will be the perfect opportunity. Mom: Yes Matthew! Let’s teach these people the true power a family can bring once reunited! Let’s go Matthew! The 2 of us started to go through the field. Any guard we saw, we went up to them and battled them. Not only was it good training for my Pokemon but this way, there would be less enemies for everyone else to deal with. While it felt great battling alongside my mother, for the 1st time ever might I add, I could tell that if she really wanted to, she could have blown these guards back all by herself. Her Pokemon were far stronger than even mine. When we cleared the area of enemies, we went to the castle front. As we passed underneath the bridge, Saki stopped us. Saki: Matthew! Matthew: Saki! You guys are out? Saki: Hell yea we are! Now I want to see every head on a spike! Matthew: Uhh… Mom: So… is that 1 of your friends? Matthew: Yea. She’s weird but it grows on you. Saki: That’s right! We’ll take back what belongs to US and US only! Destroy those walls of oppression! Leave nothing but blood in your wake! Matthew! Woman with the hat! Join us in our fight against the man! -runs off- Mom: Hmm… Quite an energetic lady isn’t she? Matthew: Yes but what she said before she left isn’t exactly wrong. Augustus: Nancy?! Matthew?! Is that you?! Matthew: Augustus! You old sea dog! I’m glad to see you here! Augustus: I’m glad to see you as well Matthew. Mom: How did you get out of your prison cell? Augustus: Some girl named Aelita came to my rescue. Matthew: Wait. Did you say Aelita?! So she’s out too… Augustus: So we’re getting off this island then yes? Matthew: That’s the plan. Mom: But is there even a boat to leave on? Augustus: Yes. I checked the dock to see if there was and sure enough… Matthew: Heh. So she came tonight instead of tomorrow huh? That’s why they locked us in our cells. Augustus, you get to that ship now and locate the driving area of it. Augustus: Of course. After all, I’m the only 1 who knows how to sail a ship of that size. Once everyone is ready, you’re to meet me on that boat. Matthew: Right. Got it. Valarie: -talking through the turrets- Matthew? Can you hear me? Matthew: Aww! Holy fuck! That scared me half to death! Valarie: -talking through the turrets- I hope you can… Anyways, the cameras on the turrets aren’t working anymore… But you need to head to Neved’s office right now! You remember where it’s at right? You were there once. There’s also a rumor going around that he has Aelita. Matthew: Son of a bitch! He must have caught Aelita during all of this. Mom: Who is this Aelita person I keep hearing about? Matthew: A friend of mine I met at a place called Sheridan Village. When we were captured and brought here, they took her somewhere and tortured her… Mom: What?! Th-That’s horrible! Valarie: If that’s true, we can’t leave until we’ve dealt with him. T-That’s all I can say for now. It’s really bad up here! Augustus: I’m going towards the boat now! I’ll start the engines! Matthew: Good. We’ll see you soon. -watches as Augustus runs towards the boat- Mom: As much as I don’t want to leave you again, I must. Matthew: It’s alright mom. I know you gotta help people evacuate to the boat. Mom: Yes. Go help your friend. Both of you… All of you and your friends, please be careful. Matthew: You too. Mom: I love you! Matthew: I love you too mom! The 2 of us hugged each other. Then my mother ran off to find some of the prisoners of the island. I ran up towards the highest part of the castle I could go and entered the doors. Soon, I was in the room Neved was in that time I was in “trouble.” The doors in front of me were unlocked. I went through and was about to continue when Emma came face to face with me. Matthew: Emma! It’s you! Emma: …So be it. Don’t hold back. Matthew: Never. Now I can get revenge for Valarie for how you treated her! The battle between us started. While the battle between us wasn’t difficult, I noticed something very familiar about her Pokemon that she used. All 3 of them were shiny. The only other person that had a team of Shiny Pokemon was Melia. But this girls’ voice was deeper than Melia’s. So who was she and why did she have a team of shinies? She didn’t seem to bothered that she lost the battle though. Matthew: …Who are you really? Emma: …Looks like I couldn’t defeat you. I guess that’s to be expected. I tried my best but that wasn’t enough. Go on and do what you must. I still have things I have to attend to. -starts walking away- Matthew: Hey! I asked you something! Are you listening to me?! She continued to walk away from me and eventually went through the door and closed it. I wanted to know who she was but I had more important things to do. I continued through another door and I was back outside. I was even higher up on the castle. I saw some stairs and started to climb them. About half way up though, I heard someone shout my name. ???: Matthew! Matthew: Huh? -turns around- Who’s th… Aelita: It’s good to see you again Matt. Matthew: Aelita… -hugs her- Aelita: -hugs back- I’m fine Matt. Matthew: I know but I’ve just… I’ve missed you. Aelita: I’ve missed you too but let’s just skip the cheesy reunion stuff ok? We got a job to do. Matthew: Hell yea we do. Neved is just up ahead and we need to give him some major payback! Aelita: I’m gonna make him regret what he’s done to me. Matthew: Wait. Hold on. How are you here? Someone told me that he was holding you captive. Aelita: Well that’s clearly not the case. That doesn’t matter right now though. Let’s end this! The 2 of us ran up the stairs together. At the top of them was another door. When we entered it, we noticed how different it looked from the rest of the castle. The room was giving us a weird vibe and that wasn’t a good thing. We walked up to the end of the room where Neved was. A huge chunk of the castle’s wall was missing. You could look out and see the clouds, the stars, the trees. Everything. Neved was standing there, looking out towards the outside. Aelita: Neved, it’s all over now. Matthew: Soon, this entire place will be in shambles. Aelita: But we’re not leaving until we’ve settled the score. Neved: Is that why you came up here? To waste my time? Matthew: You’re the 1 wasting our time! I don’t know what the whole point of capturing us and keeping us here was for but it’s done. Aelita: Before anything happens though, I have just 1 question to ask you Neved. Why? Why put me through all of that? Was there any real point? Neved: You’re asking me if doing that to you was necessary? The answer is this. No. Not at all. Matthew: Then what the hell did you do it for you bastard?! Neved: Simple. Because she was Keta’s daughter. Aelita: My father? What does he have to do with this? Neved: I hated him with every fiber in my being. I swore to him that I would cause him suffering, even after death. What better way than to torture his own kin? Aelita: …You’re pathetic Neved. Neved: I suppose in some way I can be seen that way. But it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s all going to end here whether I win or lose. Matthew: Whether you win or lose? No Neved. There is only a loss in your future. And it’s gonna be a fucking beat down. Neved: Ha! Words mean nothing if you can’t back it up! You want to settle the score?! Then show me that you both have what it takes! Aelita: We have more than what it takes Neved! We’re gonna mop the floor with you! The battle started with Aelita and I against Neved. Despite us having the number advantage against him, his Pokemon were very powerful. If either of us decided to battle against him 1 on 1, I don’t think we would stand a chance against him. We were able to defeat him, although almost all of our Pokemon had fainted. The only 1 left that could do any kind of battling was my Monferno but even it was tired from that battle. Neved: I cannot believe that you children of such power. It truly infuriates me to no end knowing that I’ve lost to you 2. Matthew: Well accept it Neved. You’ve lost. Neved: Losing power is a gut wrenching feeling… isn’t it? Aelita: You were never in the position of power anyway. You are a terrible excuse for a human being. Neved: Hmph! You wretched little- Aelita: You’ve lost and we’re going to leave. Neved: There’s 1 thing you must get over Aelita and do you know what that is. Your naivete. Aelita: What do you mean? Neved: This world is filled with beasts known as Pokemon but it doesn’t end with them. ACTIVATE! Aelita: Huh?! Matthew: Those things are… turrets?! Neved: There was a time in this world where there were no Pokemon. Aelita: Was that talking just a way to distract us? Neved: Yes. I’ve had these turrets placed in here specifically for you 2. As you know, these turrets also hold the nullification signal. Now I ask you this. What will you do now? What will you do now that you have no Pokemon to use? It seems I have become a lot more powerful now, haven’t I? Matthew: Honestly…? Not really. Neved: What?! Matthew: I mean your whole team is fainted and so is Aelita’s. My only remaining Pokemon is too tired to go through another battle so… it’s kind of pointless to even have those things on. Neved: …Matthew, you are the most infuriating person I’ve ever met. Anytime I’ve expected you to feel fear and tremble, you just put on an “I don’t care” attitude. Very well then. Although that may be the case, you’ve forgotten 1 thing. Matthew: And what’s that? Neved: These things can fire off lasers. I could blast you 2 to bits with 1 click of this button right here. Matthew: …Fuck. I forgot about that. Just then, the 3 of us heard an extremely loud Pokemon yell. Aelita and I looked out to the night sky. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. It was the legendary Pokemon Yveltal. Neved seemed completely fine though. As if he was expecting this to happen. The Yveltal came flying down towards us. We saw someone jump off of the beats back and landed onto the ground right in front of us. We couldn’t see their face for it was being covered with a mask. I felt absolute terror just seeing this person in front of us. Neved: Hahaha. Matthew and Aelita, this is Madame X. Aelita: This is- Matthew: Madame X? Madame X: Silence. All of you. Neved: But- Madame X: I said silence. You are in no position to talk Neved. I trusted you with this establishment and look at what you’ve made of it. Disgusting. Absolutely and utterly disgusting. Go take care of the rebels downstairs and don’t you dare fail me for a 2nd time. Neved: Yes ma’am. Madame X: And disable those infernal turrets. Neved: Of course. -turns off the turrets and leaves the room- Madame X: So you’re the Matthew I’ve been hearing so much about. Then there’s you… The traitor’s daughter. Hmph… You’re even more embarrassing than he was. Aelita: I’m tired of people insulting him! I’m tired of all of you mocking my father’s name! So you need to shut up! Madame X: Oh? You have fire in you. Your moxie is admirable. Matthew: You… I don’t care who you are! Aelita: Yea! Our mission is the same since we’ve left Sheridan! Madame X: I see… Ahah… So that’s what drives you? The union between 2 people who share a common goal? -draws a sword- Fine then… If you want to talk big, then you better have the punch to back it up. Matthew: Whoa! What the fuck?! What do you have a sword for?! Madame X: Very simple. I will use this to tear through the 2 of you if you can’t back up your claims. Matthew: Ohh this is bad! Aelita: What are we gonna do!? We don’t have any Pokemon left! Just then, something popped into the room. It was a glowing light blue color. It was also kind of shining yellow as well. When the glow and the shine started to fade away, I was surprised to see a Pokemon in front of us. It was a Wobbuffet. It seemed confused about what had happened but when it noticed me, it started to sway somewhat and seemed kind of shy to look at me directly in the face. (Ignore Neved. Forgot he was there when I edited this) Madame X: What in the world is this atrocity doing here? Wobbuffet: Wob Woooobbuffet! Aelita: Is that a Wobbuffet? Matthew: Yea it is but… how did it teleport here? Wobbuffet: -looks at Matthew and blushes- Wob Wobbu.~ Aelita: I’m not sure but it seems to know you and… shy to you? Do you know this Wobbuffet? Matthew: No. I’ve never met 1 since I’ve been here. Wobbuffet: -obviously upset at Matthew’s comment- Wobb Wobbuffet! Matthew: Whoa whoa. I’m sorry but I’m just being honest. I… Wait… Are you… Were you the Wynaut on the S.S. Oceana?! Wobbuffet: -nods its head yes- Wobbu Wobbu. Matthew: How did…?! You… Are you here to help me? Wobbuffet: -salutes me- Wooooobbuffet. Matthew: Well… I guess if you’re here to help, then I’ll gladly accept it. But if we’re gonna be battling that Yveltal… this is gonna be bad. Wobbuffet: Wobbu Wobbuffet. Madame X: How insulting. You really think a Pokemon like that can really take me on?! I said to show me power and you bring this pitiful excuse for a Pokemon to our battle?! Matthew: Hey! Don’t say that about Wobbuffet! I don’t know how it got here but it came here just to help me out! I won’t let you insult it! Wobbuffet: -heart eyes- Wobbu Wobbu.~ Aelita: -thinking to herself- This Wobbuffet sees to have a thing for Matt… Weird. Madame X: …Pitiful. This isn’t even worth having my Yveltal use any moves on this battle. Therefore… -pulls out a needle and stabs it into Yveltal- Yveltal: Yveeeeee!!!! Aelita: W-What did you just do to Yveltal?! Madame X: I just reduced all of its moves power points down to 0. Matthew: Why would you do that?! Madame X: If you paid attention to what I said earlier, I’m not even going to waste my time having Yveltal waste a move on this terrible excuse for a Pokemon. Aelita: So… it’s just gonna struggle then? Madame X: Precisely. Not that it’s a concern to me. It’ll be able to take it out in 1 hit. Matthew: Urgh! We’ll show you that Wobbuffet isn’t a terrible excuse for a Pokemon! Ready buddy?! Wobbuffet: Woooobbuffet! Madame X: Nothing shall remain. The battle started. Just as Madame X said, she had her Yveltal uses Struggle. While it did massive damage onto Wobbuffet, the Pokemon still clung on. With it’s Counter attack, it was not only able to deal back some massive damage but also knock out the Yveltal. Everyone in the room was in utter shock. Aelita: I… I don’t don’t believe it… Madame X: Yveltal lost to THIS Pokemon…? I’ll admit, I had gotten too confident it’d beat that Pokemon with no moves. Matthew: Wow… You did it Wobbuffet! Wobbuffet: Wobbu… ffet… Madame X: But don’t underestimate me. I am stronger than my Pokemon are. You all must die now. Aelita: Matthew… We have to go now! We have to get away from her! Matthew: You’re right! Come on Wobbuffet! Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet Wobb! The 3 of us ran out of the door and down the steps. Just as we were close to the doors though, Madame X had jumped off the top of the castle and down to where we were. The shock wave of her jump was so great that it actually made us all stumble back and fall off the castle. Aelita: Kyaaaah! Matthew: Noooo! Wobbuffet: Woooobbuuuuuuffeeeeeeet! ???: Stop! Before hitting the ground, we stopped in mid air. We all looked around trying to figure out just what in the hell was going on. But we were thankful that this had happened. Another second and we would have hit the ground and been killed. Aelita: Wh-What? What’s going on? Why have we stopped falling? We’re floating in mid air…! Saki: Whoa! That’s awesome! How are you 2 doing that? Matthew: I don’t know! But regardless how it happened, I’m glad it did. We would have splattered onto the ground if we hadn’t. Saki: Hold on! We’re going to get you doing! Just stay put! -leaves with Valarie- Matthew: Well where else would we go?! Aelita: Matthew, do you have any idea how this is happening? Matthew: No clue. Nim: It’s because of me! -appears in front of us- Aelita: W-Who are…? Matthew: Nim! Ohh you beautiful, weird soul you! Nim: As Matt just said, the name’s Nim! And I’m Matt’s best friend. Ain’t that right Matt? Matthew: With what you just did? Hell yes. Nim: Ohh you. Let’s get down from here! -lowers us down to the ground- Aelita: Phew. What a relief. Wobbuffet: Wobbu Wobbuffet ffet! Nim: You took down a Yveltal to save Matt?! You are a strong Pokemon! Nice job Wobbuffet! Matthew: Is it your Wobbuffet? Nim: Nope. It’s been spending a lot of time trying to find you. Apparently it met you on a ship and then something happened to the ship and then when it got onto dry land, it started searching for you! Matthew: Searching for me? But why? Nim: Because it has a crush on you silly?! Isn’t that just adorable? Matthew: It… has a crush… on me? Wobbuffet: -blushes- Wobb Wobbuffet. Matthew: Well… that’s certainly odd but you saved us from Madame X so it’s ok. Just… don’t overdo it ok? Wobbuffet: Wobbu Wobbuffet! Nim: Now Matthew. I think you know what I’m gonna say next right? Matthew: You mean about the fact that I didn’t listen to you about Akuwa Town? Nim: Yes! And look at what you’ve been through! But it’s ok. I’ll forgive you if you promise to listen to me next time! Matthew: Deal! Aelita: But if we hadn’t gone, we wouldn’t be able to save the people here. Matthew: …That is true. Nim: It took me a long time to find this place AND to teleport that Wobbuffet here. So you owe me dinner. Matthew: Uhh… I mean I would but I don’t really- Nim: Don’t worry. If you can’t afford it, your smiling face is all I need! Matthew: Nim, you are seriously the best right now. Nim: Hehe. I know!~ Saki: Aelita! Matthew! Matthew: Hey you 2. Is everyth- Saki: Do either of you have any broken bones? Trauma? Heartbreak? Matthew: Uhh… No. Aelita: -chuckles- Yea. We’re just fine. Thanks to Nim. Valarie: I take it this person is Nim? Nim: Yep! Nice to meet you all! Mom: Oh thank goodness! You’re all ok! I’m so glad… Matthew: Of course we are. Mom: Is that Wobbuffet yours Matt? Matthew: Umm… Wobbuffet: Wobbu Wobb? Matthew: I guess it is now. Wobbuffet: Wobbu Wobbuffet!~ Valarie: Alright. Hugs and kisses and all that but we gotta go! Mom: She’s right. Everyone is already on the boat waiting to go. We can catch up there. Madame X: As if I’d just let you all walk off! We all turned around and looked up in the air. We could see someone plummeting down towards the ground. They landed down onto the ground with a sword striking down into the ground. Aelita and I knew who it was instantly. Valarie: Who is that?! Matthew: Fuck. It’s Madame X. Aelita: D-Did she just jump down all the way from the top of the castle?! Valarie: Wait. Madame X?! I thought she wasn’t supposed to be here until tomorrow! Matthew: Well they lied to us for a reason! Madame X: Running away solves nothing. Don’t you see? Saki: Well when you have a fucking sword out! Who wouldn’t run away. Madame X: Silence. You may have made a fool of my Admins but I won’t fall to that same fate. But… perhaps I’ll let you leave. Yes, I think I’ll be a kind person today. Matthew: Like you’ll just let us walk away! Madame X: You’re right. A price must be paid! And it will be done in spades! -rushes up towards me- And it will be your life Matthew! There was nothing I could do. She was way to quick for me to do anything to stop her or dodge her. I closed my eyes, waiting for her blade to slice through me, blood splashing onto the ground. I heard the sword being thrusted back but then something happened. I was pushed down to the ground. Before I could open my eyes, I could hear someone cough but it didn’t sound right. Matthew: M… Mom?! No… MOM! Madame X: What was the point of doing something barely worth calling a sacrifice? Extremely laughable… and quite concerning… I don’t understand. How could a doll gain enough affinity to process the feeling that is “love”? Impossible. There must be something else. Matthew: Don’t call my mom a… a… doll! She’s my mom! And you killed her! I’ll make you pay for that you bitch! -goes to fight Madame X- Saki: -holding Matt back- Please! Please stop this Matt! She has a sword! Aelita: -holding Matt back- Matt! You gotta stop! Please! Matt! Matthew: -trying to get at Madame X- You fucking bitch! You killed my mother! MY MOTHER! How fucking dare you! I don’t care if you have a sword! I’ll kill you with my bare hands! Valarie: -holding Matt back- Matt! You have to calm down! Please! I know what she did was bad but you have to stop! Matthew: Let me go! Let me go! She’s a dead bitch! Valarie: Matt please stop! Stop for me Matt! Matthew: I… I… Ugh! Madame X: Doesn’t matter. You shall all receive the same fate poor Nancy doll has faced. Emma: Madame X. Madame X: Hmm? Who dares speak my name? Aelita: Who’s that? Valarie: It’s that Emma girl. What’s she doing here? Emma: I have been waiting for you to show up Madame X. I’ve put up with this facade with Neved just so that I could have the opportunity to speak with you. Perhaps you should stop messing around with them and pay attention to me. -chuckles- I mean after all… You did go through quite some length… -lifts the hood revealing her face- to find me! Madame X: Melia?! Matthew: That’s… It’s you… Melia… Melia: Ohh. I’m sorry. Are you confused? Thought I was dead? I mean that’s pretty understandable. You never were smart enough to even think of the possibility of my survival. Madame X: This changes everything. Melia: As much as I want to take you down now, I cannot. Matthew: Then I will! With everyone not focusing on me, I ran up to Madame X, grabbed onto her and slammed her onto the ground. Before I could do anything else, everyone ran up to me and grabbed a hold of me, preventing me from doing anymore damage to her. I was furious but it felt so good to hurt this person in some way. But it wasn’t enough to say that I had gotten my revenge on her. Matthew: You’re lucky that’s all that I’m gonna do to you! If it weren’t for my friends, you’d look worse than you already are! Madame X: Ahh! You putrid boy! After I deal with her, I will be sure to deal with you next! Melia: Matt… Sorry Madame X but we’re putting this meeting on hold. Besides, we’re destined to meet again eventually. Sleep tight. Fire! From out of nowhere, an electricity current shot down and directly hit Madame X. She was completely paralyzed. She was definitely in pain. This satisfied me so much that I was able to calm down. But at that point, I started to have this nagging thought in my head. If Melia was here all along, why didn’t she let me know? Why didn’t she act sooner? Why didn’t she help save my mother? While I was glad that Melia was alive, I felt anger towards her. But I continued to watch on as Madame X and Melia had their little conversation together. Madame X: Urgh! How… do you have access to the lasers? Melia: You really shouldn’t let someone snoop around this castle just because they asked. They might find something useful to stab you in the back later. Heh… The big bad leader of Team Xen and she gets taken down… by just a small shock. Pathetic. Madame X: Y-You got lucky. Melia: No. That’s where you’re wrong. I didn’t get lucky. I thought things through. Goodbye. Neved: Emma! Melia: Sorry but my name isn’t Emma. Neved: Obviously. Aelita: Neved! What the hell do you want?! Melia So are you upset with me? Neved: You’ve done your damage. I’ve done mine. Neved: Mmm. Well I’m sure you’ll have the opportunity for revenge 1 day. Neved: And it shall be mine. Melia: Ohh. And about your Team Xen offer. Sorry to say… It’s a no. Everyone to the ship! Matthew: W-Wait! What about my mom?! We can’t just leave her here! Aelita: Matt… Saki: Come on Matt! We have to go! Matthew: Are you seriously saying that we’re just gonna leave her body here?! Valarie: Matt, listen to me! Your mom sacrificed herself to save you! I know this suck and I’m sorry but if we wanna be successful in escaping than we need to go now! Matthew: But I… She’s my mom! Valarie: I know! But she would want you to get out of here and be safe! Matthew: Valarie… -tears up- F-Fine. You’re right. Let’s go. The lot of us ran towards the large Team Xen ship. I couldn’t help but cry as I was running towards the ship. Not only did my mom die protecting me but we couldn’t even give her a proper burial or anything of the sorts. As soon as we boarded the ship, Augustus started up the engines and the ship started to sail. Everyone was safe. Everyone except for my mom. I collapsed onto the deck and just cried. Cried like I never had before. Nim, Saki, Valarie, everyone came over to me and tried their best to console me. When Melia tried to console me, I pulled away from her. I was upset with her for how she wasn’t able to help us as soon as she got there. Instead, she had to act like she was against us for whatever reason. I got up and went to the resting quarters of the ship, climbed up on the top bed of a bunk bed and laid down. I didn’t leave that room for 4 days. The 1st day, people tried to talk to me but I just didn’t respond back. I didn’t feel like talking. I guess they got the hint and left me alone for a couple of days. Wobbuffet kept me company. On the 2nd day, nothing really happened except that I officially caught Wobbuffet. I caught it with a Love Ball because of its feelings for me. I know that is probably weird but it felt appropriate. I also officially nicknamed the Pokemon Wuvvuffet. As soon as she was caught, I brought her back out since I actually enjoyed her company. Absolutely nothing happened on the 3rd day. The 4th day, someone came into the resting quarters and tried talking to me. Adam: Uhh… Hey Matthew. Matthew: Hmm? Ohh… It’s you Adam. What do you want? Adam: Well it’s just… It’s been a couple of days and you’ve kind of been cooped up in this room. Matthew: So what? Do you have a problem with that? Adam: No no. I get it. I just wanted to come in here and say that we’re all here for you man. Matthew: You are huh? All of you? Adam: Yea. I kind of feel guilty. Matthew: Why? Adam: I feel like… if I was there, I bet things would’ve been different. I don’t let no 1 intimidate me. Matthew: Trust me Adam. None of this is your fault. There’s 1 person I blame for this whole thing… Adam: Well… next time, I promise I’ll be there for ya. You got my back and I got yours. That’s just how it goes. So yea… That’s it… Matthew: Adam… I’m not like mad at all of you. I just… I don’t know. Adam: I get it man. Ohh yea. Before I go, Melia asked me to tell you that she wants to talk to you later. She’s gonna be somewhere on the main deck. Matthew: Heh… Great. Talking to her. Should be just wonderful. Did she tell you what it’s about? Adam: I dunno. Matthew: Alright… Thanks man. Adam: No problem. -leaves the room- Matthew: So Melia wants to talk to me huh? She better have a good explanation about not doing something sooner. My mom would be alive right now if she hadn’t been so slow to act. Augustus: -walks into the room- Hey Matthew. Do you mind if I speak to you for a moment? Matthew: If you’re gonna tell me that Melia wants to talk to me later, don’t bother. Adam just told me. Augustus: Ahh. No. That’s not why I’m here. Matthew: Then what is it? Augustus: Well… I have some things here for you and I- Matthew: Just put them on the table. I’ll look at them later. Augustus: …Ok. -goes over to the table and leaves 2 PokeBalls and a note on the table- Matthew: -looks over to the table and sees what he’s left on the table- Wait. Hold on… What are those? Augustus: Well they’re 2 PokeBalls and a note… a note from your mother. She told me to give this to you if she… well you know. I’m gonna leave you alone now. I think you might need it again. I watched as Augustus walked out of the room. I stared at the items on the table for a couple more seconds. I jumped from the top of the bed down to the floor and went over to the table and investigated the items more. Then I took a look at the piece of paper between the 2 balls. I picked it up and started to read it. It was a letter from my mom. As I continued reading, tears started to swell up in my eyes. She was able to say I love you to me 1 last time. When I was finished, I had tears running down my face. I tried to wipe them off as best I could. I put the note down and picked up the 2 PokeBalls. I breathed in and out to try to calm myself down. I threw the pair of PokeBalls up into the air and out popped the 2 Pokemon. When I was reading the note, there was a bit in there that kind of confused me. She wrote that they were a gift not only from her but also her Sylveon. When the 2 Pokemon emerged, I soon realized how it was from Sylveon as well. Shiny Eevees: Eevee Ee! Matthew: Ha… Hahaha… -starts to tear up more- You 2 are… babies of my mom’s Sylveon… Shiny Eevees: Ee Eevee! Matthew: Heh… You 2 had quite the mother. She was very strong and kind too. -takes out my Pokedex and scans the 2- So… you’re a male and you’re a female huh? -pets them on their head- You 2 will be very good additions to the team. And I promise to take great care of you both. So, I’m gonna name the boy Frieza and the girl… Nancy. Shiny Eevee: Eevee!

TIME SPENT IN AEVIUM Spoiler 2 Weeks & 4 Days QUESTION OF THE THREAD Spoiler Question Of The Thread #34 - Were you expecting your mother being murdered by Madame X? My answer - No. I mean I expected to be saved somehow. Maybe by someone using their Pokemon to stop the sword or something like that but I didn't expect the mother to stand in front of the sword and be stabbed straight through like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Awesome_One Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 I started to try to find Melia on the ship although, I wasn’t really speeding around the ship looking for her. I still had this hatred for her because she let my mom die. It just kept playing through my mind on how she could have saved her but she didn’t. Instead, she was playing dress up and pretending to be Emma for whatever reason. As I made it outside of the ship onto the deck, the slight breeze that I could feel was calming me down. But that all quickly vanished when I heard Valarie calling me over to her, which is where Melia was. Aelita was there too. The 3 of them looked at me in an awkward way. I couldn’t blame them. Even Melia. Speaking of which, she was the 1st 1 out of us to break the silence. Melia: So you came after all Matt… I’m gl- Matthew: Look, can we just get to the point of this little meeting? Melia: Ahh… Of course… I actually called you 3 here so that I could appropriately apologize for the things I’ve done under the alias “Emma.” Matthew: Like apologizing for that is really gonna do anything. Valarie: Matt, you haven’t even let her explain anything yet. Matthew: Psh. Whatever. Melia: I had to win their trust and keep it at all costs. So… I did and said things I shouldn’t have and I regret it. Every single 1. Aelita: Well… I’m still a little salty but I suppose you did rescue me from my cell. Valarie: Well… I still think that comment you made about me was completely unnecessary. Melia: I know and I’m so sorry about that. You have no idea how bad I felt for saying that. Valarie: But I guess you had your reasons. So just this once, I’ll let it slide. Melia: I did. I did have my reasons. But that doesn’t excuse anything for what I’ve done. Aelita: And what exactly were those reasons? Matthew: …Yea. I’m curious too. Melia: I was tasked with saving everyone from Team Xen and to investigate castle. Matthew: -thinking to myself- Wait. Tasked? Melia: I’m not sure if you all are aware of this but there are 2 structures on the island. Valarie: Hmm… Now that you mention it, I do remember Braixen saying something about that. But we never got to discuss it with everything going on. Melia: Well apparently, there’s something hidden in that 2nd structure. In fact, it’s so secret, not even Team Xen Admins are authorized entry. Matthew: You’re joking right? Melia: Why would I joke about that? I guess it was put there so no 1 intruded. It’s some sort of invisible barrier. Matthew: Yea yea… Melia: Anyways, I just started to snoop around the castle to find a way to get rid of that barrier. Unfortunately though, I couldn’t find a thing. There wasn’t enough time. Matthew: Ha! So it was a waste of time is what you’re saying? Figures. Valarie: Alright alright. So let me get this straight… You created this “Emma” person so that you could investigate in peace. Is that right so far? Melia: You are correct. Yes. Matthew: Why? Why would you do that? Melia: Well if I was thrown into prison with everyone else, I wouldn’t be able to get anything done. Despite being angry at Melia, I couldn’t help but agree, to myself that is, that if she were thrown into prison with the rest of us, her movements would indeed be limited. Still, I was angry with her for not trying to do something to save my mother. But even with her freedom, she apparently found nothing. Which didn’t exactly help the situation with how I was feeling about her right now. Melia: However, I did find out 1 thing. Aelita: And what would that be? Melia: Neved told me that Team Xen is trying to gather energy. Specifically from humans. Matthew: Wait. Humans? Valarie: Why humans specifically? Melia: I cannot tell you because he wouldn’t be clear with me. Everything he told me was cryptic. Matthew: Well… I guess you did find something useful after all. Although, I don’t know how useful that really could be. Melia: Ahh… Yes I suppose… But 1 thing’s for sure. There’s definitely something special about humans that Team Xen is after. Valarie: What I’m curious about is why you didn’t let us help you. Melia: While I can’t disagree, I also couldn’t risk blowing my cover at any point. Who knew if Neved had fake prisoners placed around as spies? I didn’t want to take that chance. Matthew: What?! I was with them though! You saw that! How can you say that you couldn’t take a chance if I was with them?! Melia: …No offense Matt but you didn’t know either. Matthew: Ha… Wow Melia. You know, I was the only 1 that believed you weren’t dead when everyone else thought you were! Melia: I… Uhh… Hmm… Aelita: Speaking of which, that Madame X person said she thought you were dead. What’s the story behind that? Matthew: Yea. Seriously. The hell happened to you? Melia: Ohh right… Well to make a long story short, I was rescued by 2 people. Their names are Spacea and Tiempa. Matthew: Spacea and Tiempa? What kind of names are those? Aelita: Matthew, let her finish 1st. Melia: They helped me fake my death and erase myself off Team Xen’s radar. Matthew: Well I guess what you did back at the castle undid all of that. Melia: Uhh… Yea… I guess it did huh? But still, if it wasn’t for them, I don’t know what would have happened to me. Valarie: Well I don’t know about you 2 but I’m glad you’re safe. If it wasn’t for you, we most likely wouldn’t have survived that whole ordeal. So in the end, I trust you. Matthew: What?! But how- Aelita: Yea! Me too! Matthew: Aelita? Melia: Valarie… Aelita… Thank you. I couldn’t believe what Aelita and Valarie were saying to Melia. Thank you? Yes. She did save us but she didn’t save my mother. She didn’t try anything to save my mother. Instead, she decided to be cocky towards that Madame X and just make her more angry. But then again, my mom wasn’t their mom as well. So I couldn’t be all that shocked about it. Valarie turned towards me. When our eyes met, I blushed a bit. Valarie: Well… Augustus said that we should be arriving soon at the pier. I should go check on that. Matthew: Ohh. Uhh… O-Ok then. Valarie: Ohh. And Matt… I hope you’re holding up ok after what happened with… Well you know. Matthew: It’s… It’s no bi- Valarie: Your mother was brave and courageous. -hugs Matthew- She’ll always be remembered. Matthew: -hugs back and starts to tear up- Thank you Valarie. Valarie and I hugged for what seemed like hours but in reality, it was just a couple of seconds. We both let go of each other. She could see the tears running down my face. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a napkin and handed it to me. She then ran off to wherever Augustus was. Aelita followed suit, apparently she wasn’t feeling that well or something. I wasn’t paying much attention though. Then I realized it was just me and Melia, standing there, alone. Another awkward silence occurred and again, she broke the silence. Melia: Well Matt… It’s been a long time. Matthew: Are you really gonna do this? Melia: Huh? Do what? Matthew: Try to pretend everything between us is fine. Melia: …I know you’re angry but- Matthew But nothing! You didn’t even try to help save my mother! And now? Now she’s gone. Melia: You’re… Yes. Matthew: So you finally admit it. Melia: Yes… And I apologize. I apologize for using her moment of death as an opportunity to strike… Matthew: I knew it… You’re lower than scum Melia. Melia: But it wasn’t on purpose! I was trying to- Matthew: I DON’T want to hear it. Melia: Well… wherever she is right now, I’m sure she would have wanted me to use her death, if it meant saving you. Hearing those words angered me. How dare she say something like that about my now dead mother! It made sense but hearing her say it blinded my common senses. I turned around, trying to not do something I’d regret later on. Matthew: Never… EVER… say anything like that to me again! Melia: But I- Matthew: NEVER! Melia: …Ok. I won’t. Matthew: Are we done here? Melia: No. I wanna try to work this out. This whole friction between us isn’t good for trying to combat against Team Meteor. Matthew: We can “work” together but we’ll never be friends. Melia: But that’s still gonna mess up the teamwork! Matthew: Shut up! Get it through your head that our little friendship from the past is gone and dead… just like my mother. Melia: ...You want revenge on me. Is that it? Matthew: I’d be lying if I said no. Melia: Then let’s have a battle. Matthew: A battle? Did you forget that I beat you back at the castle? No thanks. Melia: I wasn’t using all of my Pokemon at the time. I only had the 3 with me. Matthew: Hmph… Fine. How many Pokemon do you have anyways? Melia: 5. Why? Matthew: I’m gonna bring the same amount of Pokemon to the battle. Melia: That’s fine. It’ll be good to see your true strength. Ohh wait. Before we battle, Aelita told me that your Snag Machine was damaged? Matthew: Hmm? Ohh yea… Madelis broke it. Melia: Ugh. Madelis. What an annoying person. Matthew: Heh… Something we can both agree on. Melia: Let me see it for a minute and see if I can find the problem. I gave her the Snag Machine and waited as she looked over it very carefully. She examined every centimeter of the device and in surprisingly short amount of time. The expression on her face wasn’t a positive 1 to see however. Matthew: What? What is it? Melia: I… actually can’t see anything wrong with this. Are you sure it’s actually broken? Matthew: Am I su- Seriously? You’re asking me that? Melia: Well I don’t see anything wrong with this. Hmm… Maybe Madelis signal jammed this thing. Matthew: Signal jamming huh? Melia: Yea. There was an interfering signal located back at the castle. This device is kind of like a PokeBall. When the signal switched off your PokeBalls… It reversed the hindering effect Madelis put on your Snag Machine. Matthew: Sooo it works now? Melia: Yes. So it’s a victory for us! Matthew: Right… So can we go have that battle now? Melia: Yes we can. I’m pretty sure there’s a battling spot on this ship. Let’s do it there. I’ll see you there when you organize your team. Melia left to go to the battle area of the ship. I went back to the room I was staying in. There was a PC in there luckily so I was able to sort out through the Pokemon I had and come up with a 5 Mon team. After picking out the team, I met Melia in the battle area and stood on the other side of the room. Melia: Matthew… I don’t know what I can say to make you forgive me or change your mind of me but… I will not let up in this fight! Matthew: I would hope not. I would like to crush you with you giving it your all. I don’t want a fake battle. I want a real 1! Melia: You are underestimating me. That’s a mistake. If you underestimate your opponent, that will result in a loss. Matthew: Ha! I will not lose to the likes of you! Melia: Matthew, you may have gotten stronger but so have I! Matthew: Enough talk then Melia! Let’s battle! Matthew VS Melia (2) The 2 of us grabbed a PokeBall and threw it out onto the battlefield. I wish I could say that I wiped the floor with her team with mine but to be honest, it was almost even. I was luckily able to come out with the victory but just barely. But the battle made me feel better than I had felt in the past couple of days. Even if it was against Melia. I was still angry with her though but this had somewhat softened me up to her. Melia: Heh… Even after all this time, I still can’t beat you. Matthew: …Yea. Melia: Are… you really that mad at me? Matthew: …Yes. Melia: I se- Matthew: Don’t stop your training though… Melia: What… did you say? Matthew: You’ve gotten stronger. Don’t stop… We need that. Melia: -chuckles- Thank you Matt. Matthew: Don’t get the wrong idea Melia. I am still severely mad at you. But we need more strength. Melia: Yes. I understand. Anyways, we should be docking soon. I should get back outside. Matthew: What’s the plan? Melia: I think we’re gonna drop you and Aelita off at Gearen and then deliver the people of Akuwa Town back to their homes. And after that, it’s back to where I came from. Melia walked out of the room and onto the deck of the ship. I went back to my room to heal up the Pokemon I had in my possession right now. I was glad that Melia had gotten stronger but the anger and hatred I had for her was still as strong as ever. After making an adjustment to my team, I decided to actually stay out of the room I was staying and got out onto the deck.
