Kaith: Hello readers! Sorry I didn't have a chapter up for Christmas, as a present, I was too busy working on my Naruto fanfic and I had a bit of a problem relationship-wise.
I didn't realize this until I got to the review responses, but I got 11 reviews for the last chapter! I didn't think I got anywhere near that much since they didn't all come at once. ^_^ That makes me happy that so many people like my idea! No I'm not responding to every one of them, just the ones that asked questions or I feel the need to reply to.
Stealthclaw: I'm glad everyone thinks Green having a cat fetish fits him. The idea isn't totally mine originally. This amazing author called Starri used the idea the story 'A Miscellaneous Tale of Night and Day' and I thought it fit Green's character perfectly so I put that in my story too.
Dragonfire97: Um let's see. I used Crobat (Gen 2), Zigzagoon (Gen 3), and Regigigas (Gen 4). I haven't used a Gen 5 Pokémon yet, not sure if I want to yet. I'm just going to be using Gens 1 and 2 more often.
Chapter 7: The Undead and PackJoy
Green and Blue walked out of the Pewter city Pokécenter. Green wasn't looking at Blue while the girl just smirked at him. Above, the sky was clear and the artificial sun beat down on their skin.
"Hey guys!" Red said as the two teens walked towards him, Silver, and Yellow. "What took you so long?"
Green cast a glare at Blue. Blue just smiled at him and pat her hand like a cat would at him. "Meow~" She mewed like a cat.
Green blushed and then turned away from her again. Red tilted his head, confused.
"Ignore him." Blue smiled again. "He's just made cus I found out he's a furry."
Green's head sank as he blushed (images of Blue and cat ears going through his mind), Silver fell over and started rolling on the ground with laughter, Yellow blushed, and Red just had an even more confused look on his face. He turned to Yellow. "Hey Yellow, do you know what a furry is?"
Yellow's blush deepened. She was mentally cursing Blue for teaching her all those dirty things. "W-Well…" She began. But that was as far as she got, too embarrassed to continue.
"I'll take this hun." Blue said, throwing an arm around Red's shoulder. "To put it in simple terms, have you ever had the urge to see Yellow wearing cat ears?"
"Blue!" Yellow squeaked.
A tint of pink reached Red's face. "Well, um…"
"Okay," Blue continued. "How about nothing but cat ears?" Red and Yellow went up like roman candles. Blue giggled cheerfully, "Well you see, it's sort like that with Green, only, AH!"
Blue never finished. One of Green's Pokéballs had met Blue's face, closing the gaping hole she referred to as her mouth. Green was glaring at the pesky woman the way the local bully would glare at fresh meat, or as the fresh meat called themselves, fifth graders. "Shut up already!" Green yelled over Silver, who was now dying of laughter.
Before Blue could respond, another voice spoke. "Wow, is Green really losing his temper? I have to meet this girl."
All eyes turned to the front doors of the Pokécenter. Another teen had shown up; he had dark skin and hair and his eyes were like slants. He was wearing a black sleeveless tee, a green vest over that, and light brown cargo pants. Blue was first to great him. "Blue Kurukku, professional thief and annoyance at your service. You're Brock right?"
Brock laughed. "Yep. Nice to meet you Blue. I've never seen someone able to crack Green like that."
"Oh you just need to know what makes him tick." Blue smiled. "All you have to do is know he's a –"
Two more Pokéballs connected with Blue's face, thrown by Green again. He had an anger mark beating on his head. "Can we get back to the task at hand?" Green asked angrily. "You've already met Blue, Brock. That's Yellow standing over by Red." He pointed out and Yellow, who waved hello. "And the brat lying on the ground laughing is Silver." Silver didn't bother doing anything to say hi to Brock. He just stopped laughing and glared at Green.
"So Brock," Red said. "Have you been able to find anything yet?"
Brock shook his head. "Nothing yet. But," Brock put up his hand and a giant see-though map of Pewter's inside appeared. It looked kinda like a real-time overview of the city. Some parts of it were still corrupted and distorted and there were even six dots positioned outside the Pokécenter to represent the teens. Brock pointed at the most distorted part of the map. "See this? This is where the museum used to stand until the Missingno started pouring out of it."
"So why haven't you fixed it yet?" Green asked.
"That's the thing. I already did. There's some extra data that was built into the code so that I couldn't auto-repair it."
Silver walked over with a hand on his chin, thinking. "Well, that means that you should be able to find some clues as to who the hacker was if you can get the extra data separated from the museum data."
"Exactly." Brock smiled and took to map down.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Blue asked. The girl jumped a few feet away and flailed her arms around like a power ranger. "Teleportation powers activate!" Blue yelled, punching the air with a fist. Nothing happened.
Green looked away and smirked while Brock laughed.
Blue frowned, slightly red with embarrassment. "Okay, what gives? How'd you do that before Silver?"
Before Silver could even explain, Green spoke up. "You won't be able to fully use your gym leader privileges for a while."
"Well why not?" Blue huffed, crossing her arms.
"Well first off, you need to get used to using them first." Green replied. "And secondly, you won't be able to teleport anywhere with the data being this corrupt. I mean, have you taken a look at the sky yet?"
Blue looked up. Time on the 'Inside' was supposed to match the 'Outside', and while the sun was setting on the 'Outside' it was still high noon 'Inside'. Furthermore it wasn't even a sun that was shining down on them. It was a Pichu head smiling down at them. The clouds above them were also warped into various movie quote's like 'It's quiet, too quiet' and 'In the morning, I'm making waffles!'
"Come on," Green said walking away. "Let's go already."
Brock led the way to the museum with Green following shortly behind him. Blue was following Green, pestering him to teach her how to use the gym leader powers. Silver was following Blue, like always, waiting for her to give up so he could explain to her instead.
Red and Yellow brought up the rear, Red trying his best to explain to Yellow how to change the surrounding area with her powers.
"Well the most basic of it is just trying to change what's already around you." Red explained. "After a while you should be able to just make things out thin air."
Yellow looked at a house they pasted that was still slightly disordered. She put her hand up, pointing it at the house. She did as Red told her, imagined the house as many different pieces and seeing those pieces becoming something else in her mind. Nothing happened.
"Try closing your eyes." Red suggested.
Yellow tried that. Surprisingly, when she closed her eyes she could still see the house. The red roof, orange siding, green front door, and the glass window. Only they looked like a sliding puzzle rather than a house. In her mind the pieces of the house started moving according to her thoughts, the colors changed and pieces split apart. The whole thing kept changing and changing, warping until…
"Wow," Red exclaimed. "you're a natural Yellow!"
Yellow opened her eyes and sitting where the other house used to be, was an exact replica of her own home. She even remembered to add the chipped paint on the front door. Before she could say anything, Blue's voice yelled, "Are you two love birds done or do you need a few more minutes?"
Yellow blushed slightly and the two walked ahead, not saying anything. Within five minutes of walking, Blue leaving a trail of failed structures in her wake, the group had reached the northern end of town.
"Is that it?" Silver asked. If it was the museum, it would be a difficult thing to walk through. Parts of the building distorted, about two sections were sitting mid-air above it, and the front doors looked like the gate to a medieval castle.
"Unfortunately yes." Brock answered. He walked forward and a crystal wall sprang to life, a keypad in front of the Pewter Gym leader. "The programmers set up barricades around the corrupted data they think hold some of the hackers information. Just in case someone did manage to get on that doesn't have gym leader level access." He explained.
After inputting a long string of numbers, the keypad beeped happily and the wall dispersed. Blue was at the front door within seconds, "Full speed ahead!" She yelled.
"No wait!" Green yelled running for Blue. "It might be -"
Too late. Blue had already thrown the doors open. Like a vacuum cleaner, the museum sucked up the group of teens before anyone could say anything else. The last thing Yellow saw was Red reaching out for her hand. The doors slammed shut, leaving no trace of the group it had just devoured.
The woman with chocolate brown hair tapped her desk impatiently, waiting for her phone to connect to their hacker. She sighed. "Sometimes I regret hiring a brat like him as our hacker." She said to no one in particular.
He still hadn't even graduated but he was one of the most ingenuous minds she had ever seen. He could write deadly viruses in only a handful of days, he could smash firewalls like they were made of gingerbread, and they didn't need to pay him much. However, the cons weren't very appealing. He was a student so he could only be reached at certain times of the day, he was annoying, and he prioritized his tasks based on how fun they could be.
Finally, the phone click, signaling he picked up. "Sup granny?"
The woman had to resist smashing the small object his annoying voice came through. "I've told you before, you're to call me Mrs. or by my name."
The boy sighed. "Fine, what is it Anita?"
"Hmp, that's better." Anita said, shifting the cell phone to her other ear. "But I would still prefer you to address me like you would a teacher."
"You want me to call you Mrs. Stinkwad or Mr. Boring?" The boy said, his voice sounding half serious.
Anita sighed, bringing her hand up to pinch the bridge of her nose between her eyes. Whenever she talked to this boy she always got a migraine. "Never mind. I'm calling because you didn't send me your status report this afternoon."
"Yeah sorry 'bout that." The boy said. "Class Prez caught me sneaking into the computer lab after lunch. Got detention and I guess I forgot to do it when I got home."
Anita rolled her eyes. "So how far along are you?"
"With what?"
"Fixing our data!" Anita yelled into her cell phone.
"Oh that. I'm about half finished, and then some."
"And then some?" Anita questioned.
"Yeah. Apparently I did so much damage to the updated Viridian City they moved it to a separate space." He explained. "I'm in the middle of turning it into a base we can use on the 'Inside.' First I created a copy of the city and added a few defenses. I'm in the middle of fixing the pathways. The data's so messed up you can access it from almost anywhere there's bugged data. I'm trying to figure a way-"
"I don't need a play-by-play." Anita said, slightly happy with him. "I just need to know how soon it will be done."
"You'll be able to get back to you data by the end of the week. I'll have our little base up and running in a month."
"A month?" Anita questioned.
"Yeah. It'll be a while. I've got quite a bit of encoding to do if I don't want anyone at Nintendo to discover it. So about my pay…"
Before Anita could say anything, a cascade of siren noises echoed over the phone. "What's that?" She said over the noise.
The sirens were cut off and she could hear the gentle taps of a keyboard. "Hmp, it's seems like someone fell for my trapped data. Looks like I'm going to have to head on in and take care of them."
Yellow's head spun and her cheek burned; it felt like she had cut it on jagged glass. She opened her eyes slowly, her head still spinning. She felt herself in a warm embrace, kinda like someone was hugging her. Then her eyes shot open when she recognized the clothes. It was Red, and she was lying on top of him.
"Are you okay?" His voice asked.
"Y-Y-Yeah!" Yellow squeaked with embarrassment. The moment Red loosened his grip around her Yellow sprung up and looked away, trying to hide her massive blush. However, it was hard to see anything in this light. Yellow looked around, thinking the surroundings were slightly familiar.
"Hey, I think I've seen this place before." Red said getting up.
They were in what looked like an entryway to a mansion. Behind them loomed large double doors, presumably the doors they just came through. On the opposite side of the room were another set of double doors, smaller than the front doors though. To the right of them was a covered mirror, the left a bookcase, and above was a clock with the hands at midnight. Against the right and left walls were staircases that led to the second floor, two more doors were up there. Hanging above them was an elegant chandelier; the burning candles the only source of light.
Silver and Brock were starting to wake up, groaning in pain as they sat up. Green and Blue had landed in a position similar to Red and Yellow, only Green was on top and his head rested a few inches below Blue's neckline.
"What the hell pervert!" Blue yelled and kicked Green off of herself. "Trying to get in a feel are you?"
Green sighed and rolled his eyes. "Like I'd want to, pesky woman." He mumbled. "Like I was saying, it might be a trap."
Blue glared at Green a moment longer before looking around. "Where are we anyways?" Blue asked getting up and dusting off her skirt. "Everything's covered in dust."
Yellow walked over to the mirror and pushed aside the large towel that covered it to look at her reflection. She was bleeding from a cut under her left eye. Before she could say anything about it, another voice spoke.
"It's a mansion." Red said.
"Who's Mansion?" Blue asked.
"I'm not sure. I just know it was from a video game…"
"And you were correct!" A voice yelled through the house. Everyone looked around, but no other person could be identified. "And I must say, thank you for springing my trap so soon! I never thought anyone could be as stupid as to open a door without scanning it first."
Green cast an angry glare at Blue.
"Anyways, have fun fighting off the undead!" The voice yelled happily. There was a click, and then silence filled the mansion.
"W-What did he mean by undead?" Yellow asked nervously, scooting closer to Red.
"WHRAAARRRRR!"
Everyone jumped as the roar of something echoed through the mansion. Soon, the roar was followed by multiple other roars, wails, moans, and the sounds of anything else that went bump in the night.
The minute hand on the clock above the door moved quickly around the clock backwards.
Blue ran over to the front doors as the minute hand just passed six. "Ugh, they're locked." She reported. "What do we do now?"
Silver's eyes were locked on the clock. Something about it seemed…off. It was obviously counting down to something, but what? The minute hand finished moving and the clock bonged eleven as the hour hand clicked backwards to eleven o'clock.
"WHRAARRRR!"
The double doors flanked by the mirror and bookcase slammed open. A Typhlosion was the source of the roar, a dead Typhlosion. Its eyes were missing, its colors were dull and gray, and the teeth it bared were dripping with blood.
Yellow screamed and fainted, Red catching her inches from hitting the floor, while everyone else grabbed their Pokéballs. Three other Pokémon – Meganium, Ursaring, and Granbull – appeared behind the Typhlosion. All of them looking equally dead, missing body parts or just a random chunk of their body.
"Fight them off!" Green yelled as he threw his Pokéball out and a Golduck appeared.
"Obviously!" Blue yelled back, sending out her Turtley.
Silver didn't say anything as he sent out his Sneasel.
Brock, who was closest to the doors when they opened, was not so lucky. Before he even got a chance to send out his Pokémon, the Typhlosion hit Brock with a burst of fire. His avatar fragmented and disappeared.
"Don't let them touch you! They're just like the Missingno!" Silver yelled. "Icy Wind on the Meganium!"
Sneasel jumped over the Typhlosion and landed behind the dead Pokémon, right in front of Meganium. It slashed its claws at the dead plant and produced a chilling breeze. Meganium screamed out as it was hit and then fell over.
"That was easy." Silver said as his Sneasel jumped back, dodging what looked like a Brick Break attack from the Typhlosion. However, the Meganium got back up after a few seconds.
"Too easy." Green said. "They're already dead so we can't knock them out. Hydro Pump!" He ordered as the Typhlosion got too close for comfort. The dead Pokémon was thrown backwards, smashing into its fellow undead and knocking all of them to the ground.
"Their heads!" Red said excitedly as the dead Pokémon got back up. Yellow was on his back, having fainted from the scare of the dead Pokémon. "Maybe they're just like zombies. You have to cut the head off to keep it from moving."
Green raised a skeptical eyebrow while Blue made a face. "What kinda movies have you been watching Red?" She asked.
Silver however, thought it was worth a try. "Hone Claws, then try a Slash!"
Sneasel nodded and brought its claws together, scrapping them to sharpness with an ear-piercing squeal. It sounded like nails on a chalkboard.
The Ursaring, obviously not pleased with the noise, ran at Sneasel with its paws flailing. Silver jumped out of the way while Sneasel jumped straight up. The night creature landed on Ursaring's back and drove its claws into the dead Pokémon's neck. The head fell to the ground, and then it and the body disappeared just like Brock had earlier.
Green followed Silver's example and ordered Golduck to do a slash attack at the Granbull, decapitating it.
Blue was a bit more creative. "Turtley, Withdraw and then Rapid Spin!" Turtley pulled it's limbs into its shell and started to spin. Crashing into the Meganium and sending the under-watered plant-beast into Typhlosion, knocking them both to the ground.
"Now Crunch!"
Without any hesitation, the Blastoise bit off both heads of the dead Pokémon and the bodies disappeared. Green almost vomited, blood was running from Turtley's mouth for a moment before the heads inside his mouth disappeared as well.
"So now what?" Blue asked, unfazed by the atrocious act she just had her Pokémon perform.
"We're not done yet." Silver said pointed to the clock. The minute hand had resumed moving around the clock backwards, counting seconds rather than minutes. "If I'm right there should be another wave of them when it finishes and the hour hand will move to ten. It's counting down to something."
"What happens when it finishes?" Blue asked.
"We're defragged." Green guessed.
Silver nodded in agreement. "Most likely."
"Then why go through the trouble of fighting them off?" Blue asked as the hand passed six. "Why not just leave like Brock did?"
"Because when we're defragged, there's a high chance our data could get permanently erased." Green replied. "It was a miracle none of us lost our data when the Missingno swamped us back at Viridian."
Blue crossed her arms. "Okay, I still don't see a reason to fight back. Even if none of us get defragged by those things, when the clock finishes counting down we're dead anyways."
The clock bonged ten and the hour hand moved to ten o' clock, just like Silver had predicted. Another roar echoed through the house and this time one of the doors on the top floor opened up and a hoard of Zubat, Golbat, and Crobat flew out. Every single one of them was discolored and their wings filled with bloody holes.
"Icy Wind!" Silver yelled. The bats fell to the ground, encased in ice, and shattered. The minute hand started to move again.
"We're fighting back because we can get out of here." Silver said and put his hand up. A mid-air monitor appeared in front of him. "I just need to find a way out of this data. There's a flaw in everything."
Green was impressed, the kid caught on quickly and Silver was probably a better programmer than he was. He took a ball from his belt and tossed it at Silver. "Catch!" Silver caught the ball and look at Green quizzically. "It's my Porygon 2." Green explained. "It was specifically made to help with data. Just put it up to your monitor and it should go in to help you."
Silver actually smiled at Green. He put the ball up to the monitor and the ball disappeared, reappearing on the screen. It opened and Porygon 2 appeared with a happy look on its face. "You're mine temporarily." Silver said to it. "So help me look for a weakness in the program around us."
Porygon 2 nodded and zipped off the screen, but not before an hourglass appeared above it. The clock bonged nine and the hour hand moved again, followed by another roar. The doors opened to show a mass of dead Rattata and Radicate. It was going to be a tough fight.
Following the undead rats were a hoard of ghost Pokémon, some dead baby Pokémon, and a bunch of fossil Pokémon. During the dead Rattata wave, Red finally had some sense to throw his Poli into the fray and help out. Yellow had even woken up, however passed out at the sight of a decapitated Pichu head flying past her. The clock was now at two and Silver and Porygon 2 had yet to find any way to kill the haunted house.
"Hey here's an idea," Blue said after Turtley and Poli smashed another Typhlosion into the ground. "Why don't we stop killing them! We're running out of time."
"The longer they're alive the stronger they become!" Green yelled at her. "If we stall for too long they'll just overpower us."
Golduck just took out the last undead Pokémon, a Furret, and the clock's minute hand started to move again. "Any luck yet Silver?" Green asked.
Silver bit the inside of his check, his fingers rapidly tapped into the monitor's keyboard. "Whoever made this was a genius. The program is almost perfect."
"I thought you said everything has a flaw!"
"I did." Silver brushed a strand of red hair out of his eyes. "I also said the program is almost perfect." Silver walked over to the double doors they came through, the monitor following him. He touched it slightly and it started to glow blue. "This area has the least amount of encryption. I should be able to break through."
The clock bonged one o'clock.
"Then you better hurry!" Green said as another roar resonated through the mansion.
The door underneath the clock slammed open. Green heard footsteps, and then nothing. He couldn't see anything. "Back to back!" Green ordered. He, Blue, and Red jumped to the center of the room, Silver standing in the middle of their triangle as he continued to break the encryption.
For now, all they heard was Silver's typing, nothing else. On baited breath they all scanned the room, looking for the tiniest amount of movement. The candlelight flickered from the chandelier above them.
"What do you think they are?" Blue asked quietly.
"Not they, it." Green corrected her, still scanning the room. "I only heard one set of footsteps."
"So we're facing something big and can turn invisible." Red said, shifting Yellow on his back. "Maybe a really big Kecleon?"
"I don't think so." Green said. "It's probably been modified like the rest of the Pokémon we faced."
Silence fell over the group again as they strained their eyes in the darkness.
"SCREEEEEEENNN!"
Something above them shrieked, breaking the silence, and the sound of metal against metal followed. Whatever it was, it had just dropped the chandelier onto them.
"MOVE!" Green bellowed.
Red dove, carful to not drop Yellow, Green jumped away as well, and Blue grabbed Silver's hand, pulling the red-haired teen away from certain doom. The chandelier crashed to the ground and with it their only light source, other than the faint glow of Silver's screen, gone.
"Is everyone alright?" Green called out into the darkness.
"Yellow and I are alright." Red said.
"Me and Silver too!" Blue replied.
Green looked up just as lighting flashed from outside. Then he saw it. The shape an ancient shellfish, Kabutops. And a big one at that. It screeched again and dropped to the floor, smashing the chandelier in the darkness. "Golduck, Flash!" Green ordered quickly. The red jewel on Golduck's forehead glowed and a red light was cast over the hall.
Green's command came just in time for Blue. She had just enough time to see the Kabutops scythe-like arm swing at her and Silver. She grabbed the boy and pulled him to the ground with her, missing a chance to be decapitated by only inches.
The creature screeched again and started disappearing.
"Poli, Mind Reader!" Red cried out as the Kabutops disappeared completely. Poli closed his eyes and focused. A moment later the Poliwrath jumped backwards and a sharp gouge mark appeared in the spot it had just been standing. "Focus Punch! Blue," Red turned to his friend, "try and freeze it!"
Blue nodded. "Turtley, Ice Beam!"
Turtley opened his jaw and a jet of ice flew out at the space in front of Poli. It crashed into the invisible Kabutops, which let out another scream before turning its attention on Blue's Pokémon.
But that was all the time Poli needed. Having stored up enough strength, the Poliwrath jumped and brought his fist down on where Kabutops head should have been located. Luckily enough, he made contact and the Kabutops crashed into the ground. The invisible Pokémon flickered back to visibility, cracks running across its head.
"I'm almost done!" Silver said excitedly.
"Good, cus we're almost out of time!" Blue yelled, pointing at the clock. The minute hand had begun moving again. If it reached twelve, they were done for.
Silver's fingers moved fast as they could and Porygon 2 was dashing around the monitor, trying to help as best it could.
The hand passed nine and the doors opened a crack.
"Alright!" Blue yelled excitedly.
"I'm not done yet." Silver said, not taking his eyes from his screen.
Passing six, the doors opened even farther, but still not enough for a person to fit though. Blue didn't say anything this time, but looked around nervously.
The hand passed three and finally the doors were opened wide enough for a person to fit though. "Go now!" Silver yelled, his monitor closed and he tossed Porygon 2's ball back to Green. Blue got though first quickly followed by Green.
The clock's hand swept past two.
Red, carrying Yellow, tried to get through but his clothes snagged on part of the door.
The hand seemed to race past one.
Silver ran into Red and Yellow pushing them through the door as the clock bonged midnight.
At the sound of the clock, Blue looked back at the door from where she stood at the other side. Silver's arm reached out, but the door slammed shut on it, cutting it off from its owner. Blue's eyes widened in horror as the arm fell to the ground before it dissolved like one of the undead Pokémon.
"SILVER!" She yelled and ran back at the door.
Green had to grab her before she opened the door and got them sucked inside again. "Blue! Calm down!" He yelled.
Blue broke free and spun at Green, tears starting to form in her eyes. "Calm down? I just saw Silver's arm get amputated!"
"This isn't real!" Green yelled back. "He should be back at the hotel right now! Just fine and all limbs still attached!"
Blue blinked, the rage fading away slowly as the realization sank in. She crossed her arms and looked away from Green.
Red looked around. "Hey isn't this Viridian City?" He asked.
Green looked around and was surprised it really was. The Pokécenter was still being pissed on by the Sudowoodo statue, buildings were destroyed, and he could see the PackJoy bouncing around on the other side of the city. "Yeah, I think it is." Green said.
Blue looked around too, but didn't say anything. She instead chose to walk over to Red, focusing on Yellow who was starting to wake up again. She touched Yellow's cut cheek. "Yellow, hun, are you okay?"
Yellow's eyes slowly blinked open slightly. "We're…not in that place still…are we?" She asked, not daring to open her eyes any farther than they already were.
Blue smiled at her friend. "No. Silver got us out."
Yellow opened her eyes fully and looked around. "Where are we?"
"Destroyed Viridian City." Red answered, putting Yellow down. "So why'd you faint like that back there? Not good with scary things?"
"Nope, not at all." Blue answered for Yellow, starting to spring back to her old self. "She still has to sleep with a night light."
"I do not!" Yellow protested.
"Oh you don't have to lie." Blue teased her.
"I'm not lying!"
"Um guys," Green said, "I think we have bigger problems than Yellow's night light."
Red, Blue, and Yellow all turned in the direction Green was looking and quickly agreed with him. The PackJoy had spotted them and was now waka wakaing towards them. Surprisingly quick too. The four took off at full speed away from the PackJoy.
Green pointed ahead towards the broken Pokécenter. "Towards that! We should still be able to use it to log out."
"But it's soaked in Sudowoodo –"
"Just go!" Green barked.
Blue shut her trap at that and continued to run. Luckily, the PackJoy wasn't able move fast enough to catch them. Green reached to Pokécenter first, splashing through the liquid that covered the floor. A single light next to the desk were Nurse Joy healed Pokémon was still on. It was their way out.
Green was first, vanishing in a flash of white. Blue and Red followed after him. Yellow was about to do the same but she glanced over her shoulder at PackJoy which was only a block from the Pokécenter. Before the white flash enveloped her, Yellow thought she saw someone standing on top of PackJoy.
"Omg." Blue said, falling backwards onto her bed with her DS Lite still in her hands. "It felt like we were playing for hours."
Yellow glanced at the clock. It was nearly one in the morning. They had been playing for hours. It was almost nine when they started.
"Well I'm gonna take a shower then get some sleep." Blue announced, tossing her DS Lite onto her suitcase. She walked past Yellow but stopped in front of her. "Y-Yellow, your cheek, it's…"
Yellow raised her hand to her left cheek, the same one she had cut while one the 'Inside,' and felt a sticky wet liquid on her fingertips. She pulled her hand away and looked at it.
Blood.
Yellow got up quickly and ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Blood had streamed down the left side of her face from a deep cut below her left eye, giving her an eerie look. Immediately she ran the water and began to clean the blood away from her face. Blue had stopped by the doorway of the bathroom, her face pure shock.
"If you got cut 'Inside' and you were still cut 'Outside'…" Blue seemed to run the thought through her mind several times. Suddenly, her eyes widened even more. "Silver!"
Yellow looked up from the sink. "What about Silver?"
Blue didn't answer, instead undoing the lock on their door and running out into the hallway. Yellow didn't know what happened, but from the sound of Blue's voice, it wasn't good.
Blue's Special Notes _ :
…
Kaith: No special notes from Blue this time, as you can tell, she's a bit distracted. If you can guess what I based the mansion off of, I'll give you a cookie! ...Well okay, not really, but wouldn't it feel good to guess correctly? Please Review!
