"This is it?" said Aura, after a long walk to Moven town, startled by its size. The village had about thirty buildings, a restaurant and a small hotel. It was an average sized town, but Aura was used to the city, jam-packed with trains and buildings.
"What were you expecting?" said Alistar, "It's just a town."
"Smells…funny," Razor pointed out, making Aura note the stench.
"I can't smell anything," said Sumo, until it hit his nose, "Oh my, that is bad."
"I'd be more worried about the smell than a song, surely?" said Alistar, also pinching the obvious stench.
As said the obvious smell would hit the nose of anyone walked through the town. Why the residents were more concerned about the Singer atop Moven Mountain, was a mystery.
"We could ask around, see what the smell is?" suggested Sumo, and other three shrugged in unenthusiastic agreement. The team of four set about the town, splitting into groups of two, to find the small towns deal.
…
"Hello," said Sumo, opening the door of the seemingly empty restaurant. The place was barren, not a Pokémon in sight.
"Is this town even inhabited?" asked Aura, close behind.
"Looks like it's not, but hey, look!" Sumo pointed at the buffet of food lying on the counter top.
"Wait Sumo," Aura held him back, "Isn't it a bit weird?"
"What's weird?" Sumo asked, Oran berry in hand.
"All this food is fresh, and no one is in eyesight."
"Wah!" said Sumo, dropping the berry, "You don't think this place is haunted!"
"One of the possibilities," said Aura, not really counting it as an explanation to the food, "But more likely, the residents left in a hurry."
"Wait, that's much more plausible!" said Sumo.
"We got to go find the guys!" Aura sprinted out the door.
"Wait, are you suggesting I'm not manly!"
Sumo ran after Aura, in a 'manly' manner.
…
"Anything?" said Razor, running over to the wearing Alistar was leaning down, "You know you looking at rock!"
"I'm checking to see if any of them are Geodudes, or the like. There are no Pokémon anywhere."
Razor looked round to see Aura and Sumo coming towards them.
"Found anything, that was quite a run," said Razor, helping Alistar off the ground.
"I think," started Aura, before Sumo gave her a wink, "We think that whoever was here, left in a hurry, not too long ago. I think that the smell has recently driven them away."
"No idea what the smell is then?"
The two shook there head to Alistars question.
"But whatever it was, I'm sure it was dangerous."
At that, voices could be heard behind them. It was Team Ace of Spades, noses held in disgust.
"What is that smell?" asked Rolfe, paw to nose.
"Smells horrible!" added Riley.
"Bet it was Sumo!" laughed Ace, who only got a response from Razor.
"Shut up, Ace," said Ruby, "So what is it, really?"
"No idea," said Aura, "But we are sure it's dangerous."
"How come?"
"Because whatever it is, it made the town's residents leave."
There was then a silence, stopped only by Razor,
"Well, it's getting late. I suggest we stay at the hotel. I saw it back there."
The other seven agreed, and the two teams made their way to the hotel Razor had seen before.
…
"Yep, just like the rest of the town; deserted," Ruby said, as she came down the stairs, after checking the upstairs floor for Pokémon.
"I'm kinds scared now," said Riley, hiding behind Rolfe, who laughed,
"You will be ok Riley, I'll protect you."
The Azurill smiled back at the Luxray, glad he was there.
"I think we should call it a night then," said Alistar.
"No way, I'm starving!" said Ace, who went into the kitchen.
"Now I think about it, I'm hungry too. I'll meet you guys when I come upstairs, ok," said Sumo, following in Aces footsteps.
The other six Pokémon retired, and split into different rooms in the hotel: Aura, Riley and Ruby in the girl's one, Razor, Alistar and Sumo (when he would come upstairs) in another, and Rolfe and in another.
"Night guys."
…
Rolfe jumped onto one of two big beds provided in his room. Ace wasn't here yet, so he had some peace and quiet. He decided it have a bath, and went into the bathroom, turning the tap. He took no attention to the water filling the bath, as he quickly went onto other business, when he turned the faucet.
He went into the bedroom, to get a towel, and then returned to the bathroom. The towel was dropped though, when he saw what was really in the bath,
"Ahhh!"
Alistar and Razor ran out of their room, after hearing Rolfe shout in his room. They were just out on the corridor when they found Rolfe running past them, to the staircase.
"Run!" he yelled, as his paws hitting the ground in front of them. Alistar and Razor did as instructed, and ran in the same direction. The door to the girl's room was soon knocked down, by Alistar, who could really explain the situation.
"We…um…Rolfe ran…so run," he said, tired from the short run.
The girls, who were confused, kind of got the message and ran downstairs, after the boys.
…
"Mm, this all looks so good," said Sumo, plonking himself down next to Ace.
"Yeah I know. Oh wait, I need a drink," said Ace, getting up at running into the kitchen.
It took about two minutes for Sumo to hear Ace, screaming. The Weavile darted in the room, after his girlish scream was heard.
"What's wrong?" asked Sumo, standing up from the table.
"It's purple!" shouted Ace, running past him open of the kitchen, into the lobby. Sumo soon followed, finding the other six also downstairs.
"Everyone outside!" shouted Alistar, running out the door, followed by the rest.
The teams ran to the town centre, forgetting all their belongings.
The large town square was decorated in golden stones and a large fountain. The eight Pokémon circled the fountain, each facing outwards.
"Wait," said Alistar, calling to his friends but not daring to move his eyes, "This thing flows through the pipes right." He quickly glanced at Rolfe, who gave a sharp nod, "Then isn't this fountain connected to the pipes."
All heads turned to check to fountain, but it was too late!
All that's all you're getting. Spooky, not really.
