A/N: So, here's the next chapter of Five Nights at Pokespe. This story was on the regular pokemon archive for awhile since one of my friends had read over my summary and wanted to change it to make it sound better and they took my story off the crossover archive. But, it's back now and will stay on here.
Also I would like to thank ilovedove for favoriting and crazyone-oh-one for following and favoriting. I also want to thank all those who have read this story. It reached 200 views. :D
As always enjoy the next chapter. And I don't own anything, that goes for chapter 2 as well since I think I forgot to say it.
Black. That's all Platinum could see. She tried to open her eyes but to no avail. Where am I? The girl asked herself. She finally was able to open her eyes. Around her looked to be a normal setting. A quiet hallway with some children's drawings taped on the walls. Platinum slowly picked herself up, went into a standing position and took a closer look at the pictures.
Although they all were slightly disturbing in their own sense, one caught the heir's attention from when she first looked at them. While most had stick figure people that all looked the same, this one depicted four specific people. The first was a stick figure boy with spiky hair drawn with red. Next to him was, again, a stick figure boy with spiky hair but he was drawn with green. Then there was a girl stick figure with long hair made with a blue color. And lastly there was a short girl with a long ponytail made of a yellow color.
Platinum's hand started shaking ever so slightly. She knew those four. Her seniors from kanto. Finding a picture like this itself was slightly unnerving, but the caption on it is what confused her.
Above the four stick figures of vast color was two simple words. "SAVE THEM" is what it read.
Suddenly a hand placed itself on Platinum's shoulder. The owner of the hand placed their head next to Platinum's and whispered one word. "Please."
Platinum gasped and turned around as fast as her body would let her. What she saw made her mouth go agape but utter no words due to pure terror.
There, standing in front of her, was none other than her deceased senior Gold.
He looked like Gold, but didn't have that enthusiasm that the Gold that Platinum had read about always seemed to have. No, this Gold looked like he was sad or depressed. Under his usually bright golden eyes were dark grey bags and his body seemed transparent.
"Please." He muttered again as he reached out towards Platinum. "Save them."
Platinum pressed herself against the wall when the transparent Gold started to slowly walk towards her.
The ghost looking Gold kept moving towards her regardless. "Please." He stopped moving towards her when he saw her fear and waited.
Platinum, though still afraid, calmed down. Obviously this transprent Gold didn't mean to cause any harm. "What do you mean 'save them'?" She asked cautiously.
Gold slowly pointed at the picture of the Kanto quartet Platinum was holding. "Trapped."
"Trapped?" Platinum looked back at the picture. "Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow? They're... trapped?" She looked back up at Gold. "What do you mean trapped?"
Gold shook his head and repeated himself. "Trapped. Save them. Please."
Platinum suddenly felt light headed and became dizzy. As she attempted to stay upright she tried to ask. "How do I... help them?" At the end of her sentance Platinum fell onto the ground, unable to keep herself up. The last thing she saw before losing consciouness was the transparent Gold looking sadly at her. "I'll...try." And then there was nothing.
The heiress jolted awake, panting and in a light sweat. Calm down. She told herself. After a few minutes her breathing was back under control and she stood up. Making her way to her private bathroom, she started wondering about her dream. "Was that real? Or did I imagine that?" She asked herself as she splashed some water onto her face.
BEEP! BEEP!
Platinum looked over to her alarm clock sitting on her bed side table. It was a little difficult from her position in the bathroom but she manadged it.
It read 4:00 pm. The time that she had set on her alarm clock in case she did oversleep.
"How was I able to sleep that long?" Platinum asked herself. Usually she would be awake before then. "It must have been that dream." Trapped. She thought. How are they trapped? With that question the heir began to walk back towards her bed. It doesn't matter what he meant. If they really are trapped. I'll help them!
CRINKLE!
Platinum looked down at her feet the second she heard the noise. There, under her foot, was a peice of crumpled up paper. The heir knelt down to grab it but one look of the image on it made her gasp and retract her hand.
It was none other than the picture of the four stick figure dexholders with the words "SAVE THEM" on it. The exact one from her dream.
"W-what?" She fell backwards onto her bottom. "H-how can that be here?" Without a second thought Platinum grabbed the peice of paper, stood up, set it on the night stand and started getting changed into her outfit for the day. When that was done she snatched up the paper again. With a quick "goodbye" and "I'm heading out." to the servants she left her mansion as quickly as possible.
A gentle breeze started blowing as soon as Platinum walked outside the giant house. It was a cool breeze but not enough to cause one to wear a coat. The breeze stayed constant the whole time that Platinum took to walk from her house to the beach of Sandgem town.
Platinum stopped before she started walking into the sand and let the breeze blow over her. She really needed something like this to calm herself down. With all the disturbing activities in the museum and that dream she had, it was refreshing to clear her mind. "Alright," she began to herself. "I need to find this Wally as soon as possible. But first, I need to get through this week." Professor Oak had told her that Wally would probably be back by the end of the week. "Then I need to find the location of the old museum. Professor Oak might be able to tell me where it is."
"Oaky, Bidoof!" A voice yelled, which caused Platinum to look at the source of the noise. It was a young boy with none other than a Bidoof standing in front of him. On the other side of him was another young boy with a Starly. "Use tackle!"
Platinum watched as the small rodent pokemon ran into the bird pokemon. If only her seniors were still around, they could be the same. Having fun pokemon battling with one another. However, that isn't how things went. Someone out there had hated the ten original pokedex holders enough to kill them and honestly Platinum couldn't think of anyone that could have held that much hatred towards them.
The breeze started to pick up, making the heiress shiver a little. With one final look at the body of water, Platinum turned and started to head back in town. She had no intention of going to the museum today until she had to for her night shift, but she still wanted to figure some things out about her seniors. And what better way to do it than by using the vast amount of information her family could get.
The noise of someone pressing computer keys could be heard throughout the entire library owned by the Berlitz family. On one of the many plush chairs that were placed here and there in the library, sat none other than the heir to the building.
She was getting as much infomration about her ten seniors as she could. So far the only thing she had gotten were news article telling the world that they were dead. One in particular Platinum decided to read fully rather than skimming.
"DEX HOLDERS GREEN AND BLUE FOUND DEAD
Two of the famous Pokedex Holders Green Oak and Blue were found dead inside of the Viridian City gym. Although there is no evidence on who the culprit is, it has been determined that the killer stabbed the two dexholders to death. The police are advising everyone around the Viridian city area to take extra precautions to keep safe."
That's all that Plaitnum could read before she felt sick. There had been a date set up for her, Diamond, and Pearl to meet there seniors. That had been a long time ago. The three friends had been told by Professor Rowan that the other dexholders were buisy and couldn't make the meeting. It wasn't until the museum had been rebuilt in Sandgem town of the Sinnoh region that the three had realised what happened to their seniors.
Beep. Beep.
The soft beeping noise alerted the heir that she needed to head over to the museum. It was already 11:00. The girl hadn't realised how long she had been looking for information. With one final look at the news artcile, she put it in her bag that she had next to her and headed out.
Platinum walked into the closed museum around 11:50. Usually Professor Oak was there to greet her, but not this time. This time no one was there. With no hesitation the heiress walked from the entrance to her office. Sitting in her seat, she set her bag of papers and books onto the floor next to the table. She didn't get as much information as she wanted in her time limit for the day, but she did get quiet a bit.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
With no hesitation Platinum pressed the play button on the recorded message and grabbed the tablet that was on the table.
Hello hello! See? I told you you wouldn't have any problems!
Platinum quickly set the tablet down and checked the vents and hall. Once again, like last night, Green was standing in the back of the hall.
Did...uh...Did Green ever appear in the hallway? Probably not.
Yes he did. Platinum thought. He's still creepy when he's in that back area of the hall. Platinum shook her head to get her back into the game rather than in the clouds. She flashed down the hall a couple of times to stall Green before picking up the tablet. She quickly switched to the room with the Salamence plush and started to wind it up.
I was just curious. Like I said, I always looked up to Green. Uh, when they were making the Hoenn dexholders the Sapphire robot would always be around Green for some reason. Professor Oak said that it might have something to do with both of them having fire type starters and that the real Sapphire liked to train. So she would want Green to train her. That's Professor Oak's theory at least.
That does make a little sense. Sapphire loved to train her pokemon. Platinum thought to herself. Her seniors, with the exception of Ruby, all really loved to train and get better at battles. Platinum quickly checked the vents and hall again. None of the robots were there for once and it made Plaitnum relax a little. Snatching up the tablet again, she went back to looking in the different rooms of the museum.
The only problem with the Sapphire model was that she kept losing pieces and parts the more she moved. The staff tried to put her back together again but, she kept moving and kept falling apart. The staff still try to fix her, but she keeps moving. They might take off her free raoming mode to save time.
Platinum started to wind up the Salamence plush before putting down the tablet and flashing the hall way. Not only was Green in the hall this time, but the partially destroyed Blue was also standing in the hall, trying to get in the office. Platinum flashed the flashlight a couple of times before going back to the tablet screen.
Oh, hey, before I go, I wanted to ease your mind about any rumors you might have heard. Those stories always follow popular places and seldom mean anything. I can assure you that, whatever is going on out there, and however trajic it may be, has nothing to do with the museum. It's all just rumors and speculation... People trying to make a buck from something popular. Happens all the time... Uh, the day guard has reported nothing unusual. And he's on watch from opening to close.
Okay, well, hang in there and I'll talk to you tomorrow I guess.
Platinum sighed a little at the end on the call. She set the tablet down and checked the vents. She flashed the light down the hall to see that Green and Blue had left and Crystal had taken their place.
THUNK! THUNK!
The heiress quickly turned the light off and checked the vents again. No one had crawled into her office area yet and she wasn't going to let it happen now. Trying not to panic, the girl flashed the hall again. The heir almost dropped the flashlight when she saw who was standing in the hall.
It was none other than Red himself. Despite being broken, the understander could still tell it was him. Unlike the other robots, he wasn't in the back portion of the hall, instead he was already close to the opening of the office.
Platinum was at a loss for words. She had read that Red was the best of the dexholders and to see him, even a robot version of him, this close slightly terrified her. Especially since the robots were trying to get in her office. Although the person on the phone had told her that there was nothing to worry about, she had a gut feeling that if they got in, it would be bad.
Without thinking she threw the Sird mask on and waited. It was only on for a short time, however as the tablet had the blinking red warning sign, warning her that the Salamence plush's wind was running low. Platinum took the mask off and picked up the tablet. She began winding the toy as much as she could.
It only got wound up to about half when Platinum saw one of the robots come into her office out of the corner of her eye. She set the tablet down with no regard to the electronic device and threw on the mask.
As the lights flickered on and off, the heiress could feel her heart sped up as fear and dread came over her. She could make out the form of the destroyed Blue robot form the small amount of light that came every now and then.
The heiress closed her eyes in fear of what was going to happen. After a few seconds she peeked a little bit. The lights were back to normal and the robot version of Blue had left. Platinum sighed as she took the mask off. She thought she was going to die for sure. Platinum looked at the front of the mask in her hand. The face of the woman known as Sird looked back at her. It doesn't matter how creepy this mask is. It saved me now, it will save me later. With no other thought, the heir picked up the tablet and started to wind the plush again. When she decided it was enough she set it down ad flashed the hall. Red was back in the hall. Platinum quickly went to check inside the vents by using the tablet. Her heart was starting to slow down but it quickly started to beat harder again.
Once again the tablet was thrown onto the table and the Sird mask was on her face as she watched another animatronic make its way into the office.
Instead of Blue, or Red, or any of the animatronics who had been a problem recently, this one was one that Platinum hadn't seen anywhere besides its original room. It was none other than the broken robot of Yellow.
The robot's jaw was broken and Yellow's arms were stertched out. Wires could be seen coming outfrom where her hands should have been connected to. She was more petite than the other robots and, unlike the others, her face could be seen from the eye holes of the mask. Others, like the Blue robot, were too tall to have their faces seen from the mask.
Platinum's breathing stopped in her fear. She wanted to be as quiet as she cold so the robot would leave.
Just as the robot left the office the familiar dinging noise that brought relief to everyone who worked the night shift in a place like this rang through the office.
As Platinum set the mask down, she grabbed her bag, and started to head out of the museum. She saw some other employees there already and Platinum was more than happy to let them work and to leave the place. As the young girl walked through Sandgem town she began to wonder about her seniors. Mose specifically how the ghost version of Gold had appeared and asked her for help. She stilll didn't know if that was a dream or if it was something serious.
"And if they are trapped, how do I help them?" Platinum asked herself. Platinum shook her head. She was too tired to think about this. She needed her sleep right now. As the heir walked into her mansion, she went directly to her bedroom, ignoring everyone that tried to talk to her. She knew this was rude, but she was too tired and a little scared at this point to care.
As soon as she hit the soft, warmth of her bed she pullled the covers over her and fell asleep. Part of her hoped that Gold would leave her alone, but part of her wanted Gold to show up so she could get some answers. With those thoughts the heir drifted into dreamland that would hpoefully take her mind off of the terrors of the museum.
