OKAY... This is the author speaking. I just wanted to say for those who have watched HetaOni, that this story isn't really a full on pokemon version of it, but a version which has my characters instead of the countries and the monster and place. Though the mansion is kinda the same layout. But not everything from the game would be the same. I know I should have said this in the first chapter, but i forgot ^^" Pika out!

"It's e-even s-scarier in the i-inside...!" Kyrie was shivering and was still holding on to Dewott even if they had just entered. "Calm down, Ky... You've probably been through worst anyways... ...?" at the last moment, Zoey thought that she saw the usual white dot of Kyrie's luvdisc necklace turned red but after she blinked, it was white again. Sutomu stopped moving for a bit and soon Dewott also stopped. "W-what's wrong...?" the riolu asked the boys. "I think... I hear something..." the raichu looked around,. trying to find the source. "Me too... it's kinda fain-" they suddenly heard a growl and a sound of something breaking. "EEEPPP!" Kyrie jumped and got very close to Dewott. As he tried to calm her down, Zoey and Sutomu instantly faced the hallway to their right. "... I'll look for the source of the noise. Keep your guard, guys." and so, Sutomu left the group.

"... Huh, some kitchen this is..." he got to the end of the hallway and found a place with a sink, some stored food and a few other things. He turned to a broken plate that was on the ground. "...? That's one down... Where did the growl come from...? Unless it's... It can't be... she can transform only up to those five represented in that chain of the choke collar..." he shrugged off his line of thinking and grabbed the plate, well, a piece of the broken plate. The raichu went back to the main room but, his friends were already gone. "What the...? They left...?" He tried to open the door to check if they were outside, but it wouldn't budge.

Sutomu started to look around the mansion. In his mind, it's always full of music that may or may not fit the occasion. for some reason, what was playing was Story of Evil. Most repeated song was Handbeat clock tower. He held his head and got down a bit. `I hate it when this happens to me... The songs are louder than my own thinking... But then again... St..el..la..`Sutomu shook his head and continued to look around. He got to the other hallway, but got a fright at what he saw. A somewhat big shadow with eyes glowing a sky blue color. It stared at him for most of the silent time.

`What the bloody hell is that thing..!?`

A smile shows up on the shadow and the shadow slowly turns into an umbreon who looked like Zoey, except with shorter hair, normal colored rings and black eyes. "Giran!" she smirked and then talked. "You guys got to this place already, eh? fINaLlY~!" her eyes turned red as she disappeared before Sutomu would attacked her. "...? Why did she say finally...? Didn't the others come already...?" the raichu wondered but continued on searching around the place.

He got to the second floor and he looked around the rooms. Sutomu saw Zoey's necklace in one of the rooms' bed. He picked it up and started to look for Zoey because, if her rainbow gem necklace was still inside, she should be too, as the necklaces was something very, very important to the umbreon. Soon, he found the umbreon shaking inside the room beside the one he found the necklace in. The raichu tried to talk to her, but it seemed like as if she had a nightmare, or even still in a nightmare. "... You need some water to calm down..." Sutomu put the necklace on her before he left.

He remembered seeing sinks on the 1st floor so he went back down. The raichu got a glass from the kitchen and tried the sink there, but it wouldn't work. He went to the rest room and saw that the sink there was working so he filled the glass with it and went back to Zoey. He caught glimpses of Giran's shadow a few times, but it would disappear as he turned to it. Sutomu ignored those shadows and got to Zoey. The umbreon was still shivering when he entered the room. Sutomu sighed and got close to her.

"Here, drink up." the raichu placed the glass of water near her. She stopped shivering and stared at the glass for a while. It seemed like he hadn't found Dewott yet so... "... I-is that safe...?" Zoey asked the electric type. "I'm... not sure... I just grabbed a glass and got the water from a sink. Though, I thought it might at least be safe since it still looks like water." Sutomu answered and Zoey nodded a bit. After the umbreon drank the water, she then calmed down fully. "Thanks, Sut... And sorry for worrying you like that..." Zoey said and sighed a bit. "H-have you seen Kyrie or Dewott anywhere...? We got split up when we saw... A..." she was trying to say it, but she started to shiver once again. "Hey, hey, calm down, Zoey. I think I know what you were about to say. And no, I haven't seen either of them yet, sorry..." Sutomu told the umbreon and she sighed. "I-I wish we could find them... But I'm kinda tired from all that running... This is a first..." Zoey said and slowly got lost in thought. "I'll just find something for you to eat, it'll probably give you some energy... Just stay safe, 'kay?" the raichu said before he left her in the room, but Zoey yelled at him a bit, just to throw a key at him. "It might be useful, just keep it with you for now...!" Zoey said. "... Arigato, Zōi-chan."(... Thank you, Zoey) the raichu started to look around, hoping that the umbreon wouldn't get hurt while he was gone.

Sutomu found his way to a locked door at the first floor. He hesistated a bit before trying it and the door opened. When he entered the room, he felt a dark aura was inside. The raichu looked around and saw an out-of-place oran berry. "Eh? This room seems like a library... Why is there an oran berry in here?" He asked himself as he picked it up. Suddenly, a shadow appeared and attacked the raichu. For some reason, it wasn't like the shadow he saw before, it had a different body shape. But it didn't stop him from fighting it. He used thunder punch on it and the shadow attacked back with the same move. Though it fired a somewhat strong shadow ball which threw Sutomu to the opposite wall, finally thinking that he should get out as soon as he finishes the shadow. After a barrage of thunder bolts, the shadow disappeared and the raichu quickly ran to the exit, but it was lock. He remembered that he dropped the key while he was fighting and was trying to find it as fast as he could, especially as he saw another shadow coming closer, though a lot slower than the one he had battled with a while ago. Sutomu found the key and made a quick escape from the shadow.

The raichu ran up the stairs and into the room Zoey was in. "Huh? Is something wrong, Sut?" Zoey asked, seeing the raichu out of breath made her a bit worried. "Daijōbudayo, Zōi-chan. I just encountered another shadow... But I'm alright." (I'm fine, Zoey.) the raichu said. After a while, he left again and searched the room he last saw the shadow, and saw a key on the floor instead of the dark being. Sutomu grabbed the key and tried it out in the locks he had already found. It fit on a room on the second floor. When he opened it, he found Dewott inside.

"Dewott...!" Sutomu closed the door and approched the water type, only to have a close call with his sacred sword. "! A-ah, it's just you." Dewott said as he made his sacred sword turn back to his normal shell. "Sorry for that, Sut..." Dewott apoligized. "No need, Dew. You must have thought I was one of those shadows." the raichu replied. The water type was silent for a while. "Have you seen the girls yet?" He asked and the electric type was hesitating for a bit. " Only Zoey, sorry." Sutomu answered as he knew about the dewott's worry for the riolu. "This is just gr-" Dewott stopped. "...Dewott?" "Sutomu...d-did you lock the d-door...?" The water type asked and the raichu shook his head. "Why-"

A shadow opened the door.

"THAT's why!"
