Not sure why, but for some reason, I just don't like this chapter. I'm not so sure what's so off about it...actually, I think it might be Ayumu. It might be just me, but why does he keep randomly changing the subject? It's...annoying.
Needed to post something, so I posted another chapter of this story. There's actually only one chapter left, and that might not even be finished, so I need to do some work. The fact that I'm catching up is bad.
DISCLAIMER: If you see the word 'money' in this story AT ANY POINT, NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCE...it's a typo. See, money isn't called money in the MD world. It's called Poke. But for some reason, I kept typing money instead of Poke in this chapter...after a couple of fixes I stopped changing it. Please...just deal with it. I'll try to make it stop, I promise.
Indavias Pool, Floor 3
"Indavias Pool isn't just a pool of water, Yowaki...it's a mystery dungeon."
"Mystery what?"
"A mystery dungeon." Ayumu stared at the ground. "It's kinda hard to explain what they are...you'll see."
"That's reassuring," Yowaki muttered.
"We'll have to go through it backwards..." Ayumu stared at Yowaki expectantly.
Yowaki stared back until she realized something. He's waiting for me to go first, isn't he? Sure enough, when Yowaki started walking, Ayumu followed.
This is so scary...I don't know what to expect. What if something scary comes, like-
"Sentret!" Yowaki brought her brain back to reality, where a Sentret was suddenly standing in front of her.
"Eek!" Yowaki screeched. "It's a Sentret! What do I do?"
"You're a pretty low-levelled Ralts...you're only attack should be Growl. Just attack it."
The command made no sense to Yowaki. What's he talking about? Growl won't do damage... But Yowaki's body acted while her mind froze, and she hit the Sentret with a regular attack. Ayumu then made the Sentret faint by using his Scratch attack.
"Alright, Ayumu, what else am I going to find in this so-called 'mystery dungeon'?" Yowaki asked, shivering.
"We'll...you'll find other Pokemon, yes. Some will be in here because they need to be rescued, but most of the Pokemon you find here will attack you. You'll find some items and Poke...and you'll find stairs that will lead in and out of a dungeon. We're going backwards, so we're looking for stairs that go down, but usually in this dungeon the stairs will go up. In some dungeons, the stairs will actually take you down, it really depends on where you are." Ayumu pointed past Yowaki to a staircase leading downwards. "See? There's our destination. After that is another stairway, and then the exit."
"Alright..." Yowaki lead Ayumu to the staircase, and the two walked down it.
Indavias Pool, Floor 2
The two Pokemon walked around, looking for another staircase. Occassionally, they found a bit of Poke, or some kind of item, but for awhile no Pokemon appeared.
Maybe this isn't so bad after all, Yowaki thought. Maybe I'm just overrea-
"Sentret!"
Yowaki jumped. She then regularly attacked the Sentret twice, causing it to faint.
Ayumu smiled. "Wow, you're good!"
Yowaki stared at the ground. "Well, maybe if I payed more attention, they wouldn't scare me so much."
"Who said fear was a bad thing? Only those who know fear know true courage," Ayumu pointed out.
Yowaki smiled. "Thanks. You're a great friend."
"The staircase is over there," Ayumu told her.
The two walked down the staircase.
Indavias Pool, Floor 1
The two Pokemon walked around the floor, finding some money, a couple of items, and fought two Sentrets before finding the entrance to the mystery dungeon.
Ayumu let out a sigh of relief as they exited the dungeon. "Whoo. We made it."
"Mystery dungeons are scary," Yowaki said. "You never know what you'll find in there." Ayumu just stared at her for a few seconds before she shook her head. "Scary or not, I'm the leader of Team Tereya. I'm not going back on my decision."
"Yowaki, you probably don't have anywhere to stay, do you?"
Yowaki sighed and shook her head.
"Hey, I know the perfect place you can stay. Come on, I'll show you."
"Alright...if you're sure..."
"Of course I'm sure."
Ayumu and Yowaki then left the entrance of Indavias Pool in search of Yowaki's new home.
