Human Warriors
Colony Ruins. A newly discovered mystery dungeon ready for new discoveries. Now that we are done with Omel and Misao's story, let us go with a new set of friends.
Near the entrance are four pokemon having a momentary chat with each other. Vespiquen, Tyranitar, Aggron, and Manetric. These pokemon are known to be leaders of different tribes from different dungeons.
Manetric, tribe leader of many Electrikes, came to join his colleagues if he did not want to interfere with Luxray's tribe in Amp Plains at their current season. Vespiquen, queen of many bug types of Treeshroud Forest, especially Combees, also joined her big pals when news came about a newly discovered dungeon not yet found by the legendary heroes. Aggron, the pact leader of his family tree at Boulder Quarry, after his shameful defeat from three charming ladies back then, decided that he may as well join along his best friends back then. Finally the finder of the newly discovered dungeon, Tyranitar, the gentle big boss of the Quicksand Pits and Northern Dessert, wanted at least an exploration vacation to give himself a break from his leader duties for a moment.
"Looks like an interesting place you got there big guy." Being the female of the group does have it perks.
"It may be filled with iron the way I see it. But it looks like it has very little healthy mineral if I were to live here."
"What now Aggron. Moving out to another dungeon again?" Even the gentle tyrant has ways of being humorous.
"Like the last time you told me that you are moving away from Boulder Quarry. I find it funny you only lured me to a dungeon near treasure town. No way am I easily forgiving those twerps." Manetric recalling an old time prank back then.
"Or were you so ashamed that those three ladies whopped your face that you let us one by one experience your humiliation?" Vespiquen giggles at her own way of teasing the steel T-rex.
"Be quiet about it! Buzz off your shock treatment to me." Aggron knew that all four of them remained the same. The only thing Tyranitar could do is laugh with their continuous teasing.
"Ok buddies? Why don't we actually do some discovering this time." The rocky T-rex carries his own bag ready. Since he is the team's leader, everybody else follow forth.
"Why did you even ask us to bring our own exploration team bags with supplies then Tyranitar? When we could just share with one Exploration bag?" the electric wolf adjusts his bag with his mane. Though it's never easy, the adventures have much better worth. As they arrive at the ruin's entrance, Tyranitar points up on Unown carvings.
"The first time I find the entrance to this place there are Unown runes that gave me a warning to bring a strong party with one exploration bag for each. The ruins themselves have an army waiting in every room floor with pokemon that are never found in our place."
"You're saying that it's a monster house infested dungeon? If it is a challenge, I'm up for it." The big silver giant smacks his two iron fists with an inch for battle?
"An army battle with only four of us huh? I'm for it!" being the queen she was, she can be picky and aggressive to her companions back then. When Vespiquen gets feisty, expect pain to come.
"I got nothing much to do anyway. I may as well join you pals. Just don't get too cocky." Manetric did a bit of charging to amplify his power.
"Let us meet the pokemon of Colony Ruins." With Tyranitar's lead, their friendly field trip begins
…
On the sixeenth floor, the area is filled with small rooms with three to four grass band bug type pokemon. They find it pretty easy to breeze. It is until they come across a pathway to a large forest room with stairs going downwards.
"Strange. Everything just got quiet." As Vespiquen finished her sentence, everyone entered the room. Vespiquen's at the front, Manetric and Tyranitar at the sides, and Aggron at their back. A strong wind began dancing on the tree-filled edges of their current location. "What's going on here? I find it rather uncomfortable right now! This wind's getting stronger than a gust."
"This is not good. Tyranitar, you're with me. Let's split the wind!" with Tyranitar's strength, Manetric as the team's strategist, unleashed his thunderbolt attack all around them with Tyranitar using his Stone Edge by stomping the ground and stones surrounding them fly sharp height directly at the wind. When the wind began to dissipate, big wooded sticks connecting to metal branches began to fly on to the bug pokemon.
"Watch out!" As the team's bodyguard, Aggron used his Switcher Orb on Vespiquen as he takes the hits with his Metal Burst destroying the wooden mechanical planks in the process.
Being the keen eyes of the team, he notifies his companions of the threat oncoming, "I hope you guys are ready for this pokemon army. There are about sixty or more of them ready to take all of us on."
"You've got to be serious Tyranitar. Heck yeah man, this is a real challenge." Aggron is often the 'rock head' of the team."
"Vespiquen and I'll handle the ones attacking from afar. Aggron, you and Tyranitar guard us up close." The strategist charges up a Charge Beam at their enemy as Vespiquen swarmed the Whimsicotts with her Attack Order.
"We're up for it. Let's rock the heck out his place!" As tyranitar said that, they immediately counter the enemy's ambush attacks. Aggron Dragon claws his enemies as Tyranitar retaliates with Dark Pulse.
Thus, all four of them faced a very tough battle with the sun going in the battlefield. Groups of Ledian families with signal beams, Leavanny families with Leaf blades and Razor Leaves, Scyther's with Aerial Aces, Scolipede families with Streamroller, and Whimsicotts with long charge Hurricanes are numerous.
After the long fight is over, they took a quick break near the stairs as they are discussing the expectations of the next floors.
"This dungeon … is certainly about numbers and traps. What do you think will we encounter next?" the big green rocky pokemon asks to his best friends.
"This place is no joke. Every pokemon here is prepared in some way or another. If the next floors are a different layout, we may have to change our roles." Manetric knew that his friends often tell him that he's like the kind of pokemon who got smarter through instincts and yellow gummis.
"Like if our next challenge involves enemies depending on tile traps, Aggron and Tyranitar will lead us. Right?" Vespiquen is just roosting after enduring quite a couple blows from flying type attacks that landed on her.
"Right geniuses. Just tell me when I can just brawl all out at them." He already expects Manetric to call him dumb for being reckless most of the time. That's the way Aggron roles it.
…
On the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth floor, the designs of the large rooms did change. From icy terrains, to volcanic flows, and also electric storm rooms, they work their way cooperatively (though Aggron made a few reckless attempts that caused them trouble) and they manage to enter the final floor exhausted yet triumphant.
Standing in the center of the room is a pokemon standing in a slightly proper way. Wrapped with purple metal with one cannon on its shoulder, he looks like a similar pokemon if you remove the cannon that is carrying or sticking on its shoulder. Next to it is a pokemon standing tall despite being a snake. It has a cream white tone along with a dark-silver mixed to it with a green leaf wrapped on its left eye.
"I saw the entire battle that your team has fought. Technologically made orbs di get the job done. It seems that all four of you overcame the trials set for you. To the looks on your face, I think you guys are merely explorers new to this place. Since you are the first visitors that I have, I may introduce our selves to you. I am Serperior, along with me is Genesect." The tall snake did give Aggron an urge to stay put. Its glare just kept most of them silent. "Your group reminds me of a long lost history imprinted on these metallic walls."
"To what do you compare us Serperior? We have never seen your kind. Some of the pokemon we faced are not common." Tyranitar ask the silver snake.
"They are much tougher compared to what we fought before." Aggron compliments at his experience.
"I can agree with you." Vespiquen takes a moment to rest.
"The battles may be one thing. But I'm more curious to the symbols all over the walls. Are you saying that we are like those things on the walls of this floor?" Manetric is often the one who can stand the longest since he approaches the walls with curiosity.
"Thanks for knowing things. I have knowledge as to what species you guys are. So I'm no stranger to your habitats. Why don't we get to tell them a story Genesect? You know it better than I do." Serperior crawls back a bit as he waved a tail for Manetric to stand back. Looking back at the crew, "I do have to tell you he speaks robotic according to him."
"What you see on these walls are ancient human writings. This tells a particular tale of four human beings battling against one another from four different countries way back in the 1940's of their time. A warrior of Filinas named Aisaha. A samurai of Janse named Seiko. A Templar of Spaish named Cacion. And of course, a tactician of Ameic named Vidual. They are the iconic leaders of each nation. At their time, all four of them are at war with each other. Lots of blood were shed from one another as many humans killed themselves with purposeless lives and goals. As a result of their endeavors, they only lost their lives to one another. Due to their deaths, humanity declined and suffered massive losses. To prevent the extinction of their kind, the survivors built a peaceful unity between their separated nations and avoid wars at all costs. Some said that if they were reborn in another world with new powers and a new being, they will live in prosperity instead of continuing the vicious cycle that they made in their previous life. "
With Genesect finishing his speech, he sits on the wall and shut down his systems.
"I hope you get the gist of it. Now that you succeeded on overcoming the trials, I have a gift for each and every one of you." With content smug, he places an exploration box kit next to Tyranitar. The moment they opened the box, all the snake could do is smile.
"Elemental globes? Sweet baby yeah! This is badass awesome!" Aggron is holding his two orbs that represent his duo types high in the sky while he boasts out his awesomeness.
"Not bad I have to say. I like my Volt Globe." Even if he expected a super rare treasure like a golden mask, he is fine with what he got.
"Don't get too grumpy Manetric. With my new Dusk Globe, Machamps are nothing for me now." The two proceed to the big scary guy's humor and laughter.
"Two globes for me? Love my new dungeon earrings!" the bee just wears her Defend Globe and Sky Globe straight at her head.
…
Ones the group has left, Serperior looks at the night sky one more time. "Perhaps those pokemon I met are the four warriors of the human legend themselves. Reborn as a pokemon with no memories of the war. They should have been dead. I guess Arceus has a way of bringing heroes to our world and give them the peace they always wanted."
