The presence of another being in the room sent chills up and down the startled boy's back. The world seemed to revolve around him, while he stood helplessly and miserably. Something cold and dead touched his shaking back. "WHAT THE HECK?" Gary yelled then spun around facing something that he wished that he'd never see in his whole life. Two red eyes float right in front of his dark green eyes. Gary reached for his pokeballs, but they where gone. "Wha- wh- what are y- you?" He said, his eyes nearly betraying their sockets. The red eyes just stood their staring at him.
"Oh, gosh, will you just ANSWER ME?" He yelled trying to face his fear of the mysterious being standing in front of him. Am I really seeing this? It could just be my imagination .Nope, definintely seeing this. He thought. He stared deep into the eyes, he knew that this thing was not good, it was evil. "Crap! What do I do?" Gary said staring at the eyes still, then he noticed an open window at the oppisite side of the room. "I can't believe that I'm actually doing this, but it's better than dieing of being killed by this thing." He said to himself, then started to run towards the window. "Well, its been a nice journey, I really hope that the grass is soft and muddy." He sprung out the window. "AHHH! I really wish that I just stayed up there, right now red eyes don't seem so bad."
The rain was still pouring hard on Gary, it stung like Beedrill. Gary saw the grass get bigger and bigger as it approached him. When he thought that the feeling of grass would hit his face, he kept on falling, only this time he was inside agian, the red eyes were staring at him as he hit the hard flooring. "Ummm... that was weird." He said looking at the eyes, rubbing his back.
"You can't get out that way." The eyes said in a dead voice.
"Oh, NOW you decide to talk, of coarse after I jump out the window," he snapped. "and besides you're probably just lieing so you can lead me into a trap and eat me, now step aside, this time, I'm free!" The eyes sighed as he walked towards the window and jumped out agian. Seconds later, he was back in the room with a thud.
"I told you." The eyes sang then started to get annoyed at Gary when he started towards the window agian.
"Third times' a charm." He did his stupid one arm wave and jumped out agian.
"When will he learn?" The red eyes asked itself. Time after time, Gary fell back through the roof.
"Well, you know what they say... 42 is a lucky number." Gary limped towards the window.
"Stop waisting your time, fool." The red eyes said.
"Whoa... did you just call me, Gary Oak, a fool?" He stopped half way to the window.
"Yes, just listen, this house has weird... powers, you can't get out using a door or a window, you have to go thruogh the maze." It said.
"And where is this maze?" Gary asked coming back to the red eyes.
"In the basment, but be careful, it could take days to complete."
"WHA?" Gary yelled.
"The maze is rather large, and you can't climb over the walls or use fly to cheat." It replied.
"Please tell me that I atleast get my pokemon back." Gary pleaded.
"Uh... no." It said coldly, but before Gary could complain, it said, "Well you get 1 back, and the rest will be waiting for you at the exit, but through out the maze you must be quite, the others might get you."
"The other what?" Gary asked quickly.
"The other Red Eyes." It said. "They don't like visitors, you're lucky that I was the first one to see you, or you'd probably be worse off right now than if you did jump out of the window and hit the ground."
"Ok... so wich pokemon do I get?" He asked trying to forget about what the red eyes just said.
"The one that you just used." It said.
"So you're the one who took Umbreon." Gary said starting to get angry.
"I had to, if it kept on using flash, the Red Eyes might have come, here." A pokeball apeared out of thin air and floated by itself over to Gary. Then the red eyes disappeared.
"Wait! Where's the basement?" Gary yelled looking for the blood red eyes. "Oh, hehe, nevermind, basements are usaully at the bottom of houses." Gary felt really stupid and started to blush. He ran silently down the stairs and opened every door until he found one with stairs going down. At the botttom was an old rusted Enter sign. When he stepped in, a wall appeared where the entrence had been so there was no escaping. "Ok, let's get started Umbreon, come on out!" He yelled then he threw the pokeball holding Umbreon. "Umbre?" It asked wondering why its master was in a maze.
"It's a long story, just try to find an exit, the thing said that it could take days to get out."
"Umbreon." It said shaking its head. They started to walk around looking for a place with out a dead end.
"Wow, this is gonna take for ever." Gary said leaning against a wall.
"Umbre." Umbreon sighed then it layed down on the floor.
"If only you could use flash, that would make life alot easier, but no, it will attract the red eyes." Gary mimicked the red eyes. "Ok, let's start movin' again." They walked around, and around searching for the exit until he heard footsteps that weren't his own. Umbreon perked up its ears and heard them too.
"Umbreon, were not alone!" Gary couldn't tell if this was a good thing or a bad thing. "Umbrebreon!" Umbreon said happily.
"Umbreon, follow the steps, maybe they can help us!"
"Umbreon!" It said running towards the footstep, Gary close behind. Minutes later a small figure came into view. "Hey who are you!?" Gary called out to it.
"Ahhh!" A girl's voice scream. "Are you trapped in here too?" She asked nervously staring at Gary, who was now just a few feet away from her. It was hard to tell, but she had long brown hair hair held up by a clip in the front, a blue and white shirt with a red bow around the white caller, below that, was a short red skirt, the same color as the bow, and she had dark blue socks that came up to her knees and small brown shoes.
"Yes, I've only been in here for a few hours, how about you?" Gary said calmly.
"I've been in her for three days, well atleast I think." She said looking up at the ceiling. "I'm Sally Closley, and this is Weavile." She looked down at the pokemon hiding behind her leg. "Weavile." It said scared.
"I'm Gary Oak, and this is Umbreon." Gary introduced. "Umbreon!" Umbreon said happily to Weavile. The two dark types started chasing eachother around. "So three days, huh?" He said sadly.
"Yup, and no trace of an exit or there ever being an exit." Sally said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, are you so sure that there actually is an exit? And that we're not trapped here until who knows when?" She snapped.
"But there has to be, the eyes, they said that my pokemon are waiting for me at the exit!" Gary started to freak out at the thought of never seeing Dodrio or Blastiose agian.
"Oh, the eyes, haha." She laughed.
"What's so funny." Gary said getting short- tempered.
"The eyes, they're just holograms." She said then started to laugh agian.
"What, and the- the falling through the ground."
"An illusion." She said then stopped laughing.
"If that was all fake, the who is controlling this place? And how do you know that it is all fake in the first palce."
"Weavile, it knew and broke one of the projectors." Sally patted Weavile on its head. Umbreon stopped playing with it after hearing the news.
"Then why are we in this maze?" Gary asked and Sally shrugged. "Oh wow, so miss know- it- all doesn't know something for a change, that's a surprise. Wait..." He paused. "If it's all fake, then we can probably brake down these walls, can't we?"
"No, I already tried that." She pointed to a wall with many different marks in it.
"Well, you only had Weavile, maybe with Umbreon's power they can brake down the wall." He said.
"We can try..." She said. They walked over to the entrance wall. "Weavile, use icebeam!" She yelled as Gary told Umbreon to use dark pulse. The combination of the two attacks turned into one giant ice- dark ball. The ball slammed agianst the wall. There was a massive explosion, Gary got blasted back far away from the others and slammed into a wall. The maze filled with smoke, he couldn't see, hear, or breath, he just hoped that where ever in this maze that the group got balsted to, they were ok.
