Chapter 9
"When you said you saw him, did you scare him? Or did you fall out of mind with him?" Lyra asked, walking around as the fog rolled in. "Not him of everyone! The crazy wizards took me and last thing I remember was his voice." She responded, with a bossy mood. " Alright, jeez just asking... She didn't know how she was saved by him and just Aero but they would have killed her for sure. "They would have killed me for sure, but how did Lance just save me like with the others there in the way?" She wondered to herself. "We can ask him that later, we need to find him..." Lyra subjected, Heidi nodded, Lyra hopped on her back and took air search.
"RIGHT THERE! Right there! That's where I fainted and Lance spoke to my blind heads before I fell into obscurity." Heidi yelled as her voice got progressively more quiet and she pointed her right head out showing where. "Huh, just some colleseum of rocks?" She questioned staring at her confused. "No, you silly look there's powder and craters on the rocks this is where I was ganged up by twelve others." She said stopping periodically. The both of them stared at the formation and landed at the center. "It should be obvious but don't make skin contact with the dust. That might just make your day..." Heidi muttered.
"Gee thanks, you go from offering your life to me, to being a smart alec," Lyra said under her breath. Heidi puffed a ring of smoke... After a while of looking around the huge stone circle of craters they found nothing of evidence. "Nothing here, can we just go?" Heidi complained once again. Lyra nodded her head she was being impatient but she was right, nothing was here "Well hop on, we have to find somewhere to stay, it's getting late." Heidi said. Heidi pointed towards a cave opening in the grass, but Lyra shook her head. "Well, no-one at the Pokemon Center so we can just crash there, besides I'm not used to being in caves like you, how about we just go there...?" She groaned and asked the dragon. "Yeah I guess I am used to dwelling in caves but still, if people are there, I'm going to cause everyone in a panic?" Heidi muttered sighing after.
"Okay, I'll just return you, besides you can't even fit through the door," Heidi said ending the debate. She returned Heidi and walked down the hill overlooking the town. And the town was still empty, maybe not the Pokemon center, though. "Here we are, Heidi, don't burst out..." Lyra asked again. She could feel Heidi nodding in her mind. But the Pokeball's in her bag were shifting left and right a bit. And the center was empty which was okay for now...
She took the Deluxe Room Suite key and headed towards room C4. And when I entered the room was a huge mess, which probably meant whoever was here rushed out in a hurry. But Heidi burst out, but foolish of her, she banged her head against the ceiling snapping at herself. "Ow, thanks for telling me the room was high..." She said sarcastically. "Well, that's your fault since you didn't ask me," Lyra replied. "Damnit burn all these boxes all cloths, ugh" Lyra muttered and sighed.
"Okay!" Heidi replied. She huffed in preparing a Flamethrower. Lyra threw her hands up and yelled. "No! No! No, no nooo... I wasn't meant being literal!" Lyra yelled seriously. She stopped the flame and gave her a chuckle. "And neither was I! I know better don't I?" She said in an angry tone. Lyra walked up and stroked her fur. "Well I don't know you much yet but this means were close for a reason aren't we?" Lyra said entrancingly. Heidi nodded and hugged her. Just then Leonard shot out of his ball and spit it things Lyra couldn't understand. "Who are you!? Get away from her, eat her! I'll eat you first!" Leonard threatened. Macho and Meg came out too backing up Leonard looking at Heidi instead of Lyra.
Heidi shook her head in shame as she spoke; "first off you don't know who your are dealing with and, I was just hugging Lyra, I can explain everything later as long as you don't act like pests..." Heidi replied with an intent to make them mad. In doig so everyone puffed and looked at Lyra, who did hear Heidi. "Yeah, yeah she's right the story is long but you will have to wait to hear it, it's time for bed everyone. Attack Heidi and you'll get it from me..." Lyra muttered. Everyone gone with the remark and returned themselves as Heidi lay on the floor. Nowone talked the rest of that night while everyone else slept.
(Fantina at six island)
"Here we are, altering cave those pesky trainers are annoying aren't they!" Fantina muttered to herself. The waters behind her were quiet and windy. And then suddenly the temperature dropped and got windy. "Gengar, this is getting old I know what you are doing..." She said look at his ball. He burst out frowning which, is really rare of him. Gengar jumped as he was getting her attention to look above.
"What, your joke failed, but just tell me what you need? What's so hard about communicating with me?" She asked. Gengar shook his head ad he closed his eyes to communicate with her. "No, I was getting your attention heh, something flew over you and didn't notice!" Gengar assured. He opened his eyes to see nothing in the sky. "Well, maybe it was a Duskull or something, your prone to seeing them anyway" Fantina replied.
"Let's just go in, come out of your ball when I need you okay, I know you like wandering off" She said once again. Gengar sighed as it was the "Trustable you know best doesn't believe you when it really happened". He returned himself and she entered the cave. It wasn't that dark like every other cave but out if examination, nothing was, here. Just a small cave. "Well it alters for a reason maybe?" She asked herself. She touched every single wall for maybe a button, or anything secret. But no luck. "Alright Mismagius I need your help!" She called. Her ace Pokemon was trying not to smile in her evil way since it's hard to control.
"Use Psywave and find something I can't find in here" She commanded. Mismagius did so as Psychic energy filled the room pulsating on the wall, and they looked around as they found a crack forming a doorway. "Ahh, perfect everything leads to another entrance." She said in relief. The touched the wall as a heavy stone door opened to nothing. But there was a key inside. Just a small room with a key. Behind the door was a key hole and really had no mechanism.
"Ahah, if it alters, then the key shall alter it itself with the perfect fit," Fantina said gracefully sighing. But that didn't mean it could be dangerous? She slipped herself into the concealed room, shut the Stone door and took the polished stone key. "A little dark but that's I use my surroundings for..." She muttered. She took the key turned it to the right until it stopped and turned it back to the fixated position and took it out.
"And I will expect the cave to be different when I come ou,hopefully..." She said trying not to be worried. And she opened the door to see the same cave, but a Delta of passageways revealed inside. "Perfect the relic should perhaps be inside, hopefully..." She said hoping for sure. Fantina took the piece of paper, pencil and marked middle passage at the top.
"Alright, middle one it is." Fantina said. And the Delta led up to another full of torched tunnels. She marked left passge below it. She kept walking as the tunnels met others to being, four, three, two or the tunnel kept on going being unbearingly long. Right, middle, second to left, 3rd to right, right. There were a couple of holes to jump over the top. The tunnel was so quiet, it felt like as if it was the loud sound of parties would peirce your ears like this silence.
"Hopefully, almost there! I did do this at the Soliman Ruins in Sinnoh once, only I used the Unown letters, last time, though." She said quietly. But the streak of Delta ended as the exposition was rather boring and unusual since the cave began on the island and no staircase ever descended, was really weird. But it ended! Finally!
"Nay nay! It was right I might see the table!" She laughed. But it led to a room with nothing, but I wouldn't let the same trick, trick me again. She pushed every wall, looking for anything secret, and wallah it happened! The panel inside the wall pushed in, and the walls rumbled. "Oh crap, Dusknoir grab me!" She called. Dusknoir flew out of her balla nd gripped her body and the floor shifted in a fractal like design. The dust flooded the area and Dusknoir was only able to see everything.
"Oh, are we good?!" She asked. She nodded her head as the door on the other side of the room opened. "Okay, traps can happen in these places" She assured nervously. She let Fantina down as she examined the room with a marble carved table, Torches that seemed that have been lit all these ages with flickering blue light. On the table, a flash lit the area with a gleam. Dusknoir was entranced by the object but, her shoulders lowered and she sighed. "What, is it not real?!" She worried.
She walked up to the Stone stroking a finger nail but it scratched easily. "Oh no! It's a fake and made of plastic, the event was set up to frame us? But why us? And who took it first?" Fantina cried worried, she got out of there fast... She used the symmetry of the Delta's to escape the passage. Luckily the light was getting brighter. "I'm sorry Dusknoir you would have loved it too", she said angrily.
Dusknoir comforted her and told her she needed to get it back since it would cause the Specter's powers to dominate the world. The other way to rid of the demon was to ritualize the relic some how. But it had certain requirements to preform. It had to be used for the better of humanity. "I don't know if I should tell Lance, but what is really happening in the world, though." She said abruptly ending. It was just a quiet and long search just for a phony.
" I doubt Outcast island has anything else there, but I'm not getting back to the other island until that boat arrives, I might even have to levitate there, I don't know..." She muttered. But what else did I have to do? Nothing, "Well, I have nothing else to do instead of wait or fly really slowly over the sea, I'll just go to Outcast I guess..." Fantina muttered again.
And it was long to get to the island since even its name is hinting the amount of travel it needs to get there. Later, an abundance of stalagmite was rising above water out into the surface. The waters were hard to navigate and it was foggy all of a sudden. But, suddenly it went dark, it didn't feel like more fog rolled in, but more like a shadow in the moonlight. It felt as if a Liepard was stalking me, ready to steal or cause drama, or stalk me.
I rolled the boat faster, then came a valey full of meanders and tributaries, connecting water t the stream, it got faster. At this point Gengar told me somthing was following us. I looked behind to see the landget brighter like the morning sun was there to save us, it was something huge I didn't want be confronted with. Row, row, row... Faster, faster, faster, no more I was going insane, somthing was here and was trying it's best to flip my boat, I was being possesed! I couldn't control myself as I was flipping side to side, I couldn't control myself, I couldn't connect to Gengar there was a manifest that I couldn't control.
I knew I only had to sit there and watch the events transpire. My head was beating hard, I could feel energy flood my ears with a pulsating noise. And suddenly it stopped, I didn't care as I rolled on forward to a huge lake and I could feel as if it was teasing me. I could feel the darkness flood the water, it was like the light of the Pidove was replaced with the overgrown Night Shade of a dark Honchcrow.
My main concern was the fact that the last time my head beated was 5 minutes ago but I can still feel the pain catch up to me. I didn't want to yell, however, and I was rumbling to myself the whole time. "Mismagius out please, you to Gengar..." She whispered the the Pokeball's of hers. "Somthing stalking me, make sure it doesent follow us, it doesent seem like somthing to spar with but... Just protect us!" She said impatiently stopping in the middle to speak again. They nodded as they knew it to.
"Ah yes! The dock! We must hurry!" She gasped and spoke immediately. But the water turned from being unpleasant to straight up unnatural ins seconds as it swirled into a water spout, going up and through the clouds and it dispersed with a demon swiping Fantina and the other two evading the grip of its wings.
"OHOHOH! LET ME GO! GENGAR MISMAGIUS HELP ME, IT HURTS!" Fantina yelled. Her Pokemon came to rescue faster than she said it, they fired black bursts of energy at it as it took them with barely a slap. "Waste your time see more!" The thing yelled as it winded them back. Their expressions on their faces didn't change. "Defy me, more why won't you? This could become easier." The beast muttered. The dragons eyes turned purple and a huge cloud a purple fog surrounded the two defenders.
And when it was gone Fantina was unable to talk. She burst out of it. "Where did they go, what did you do with them you monster!" She yelped. He ignored her for awhile, he looked down into her soul, she was whimpering. "Maybe I banished them into the Alternate World, maybe I didn't, but if you don't want to die you shall serve me for awhile but there is no guarantee I'll free you haha!" He said chuckling at the end of the line.
"Hmmm, tell me what I have to do, and maybe I'll help you, I might die for the sake of our world, from demons like you!" She said slowly getting insane, second from second. He chuckled disturbing the waves of the water and wagged his tail. "If that's what you will do then so be it, I have killed and I'm not afraid to do it again." He mumbled again. She started to flee from him, another useless act.
"Struggle, struggle keep trying and it's became redundant..." He muttered. "Tell me ghost lady, since you seek the possession that is intended only for me, where is it? I can destroy the whole island looking for it, just tell me and if you don't, you already explained what will happen." He spoke and the voice echoing throughout her mind in a transferring that. "Not, fair, I know ghosts better than anyone else, no tricks can defeat, me!" She yelled, gripping her head.
"You will tell me where it is, I know you have been stalling all this time, I have been growing tired of watching as it is all about to end... You tell, me, tell me, me, tell me, DO IT! Do it now! Enough stalling me, you know where it is, you shall lead me to, it..." He said repeating worlds gripping her mind ripping out her secret. "Ne-Never, I won't don't make me!" She screamed resisting the hyponosis well. "You resist this quite well, but I know it will slip out, now!" He yelled urging for the wait to be over.
By this time the air began to swirl the water the air became as if it was, possessed too. But he was right, she stopped struggling from his grip and she breathed out hard. "I, will tell you where..." She said, as her eyes turned purple just like his.
Authors note: Alright, so yeah a little later for a post than I expected but, I'm not going to do anything until the end of the year (5 more days). It's been a little hard and all this was, were 3000 words, so really short and once everything is over I'll start posting again. On the side note, I know this story is fast paced, and I tend to keep it that way, and trust me I'm not going to run out of ideas, but I know when a stopping point is needed...
Okay so, I enjoyed making this story so far and, I still do, but I finally decided I going to make a short story of off mini-scenes with Pokemon insulting eachother in shakespherean language, I have a whole set of papers I have so I can start translating, it might be hard for you guys to understand, but hopefully you took 11th or 10th grade English!
Anyway, finals start tomorrow so I will hopefully be back on Thursday with a story because that is where summer starts! Alright so for a double-digit chapter surprise, I'll have a 10,000-word chapter! I'll pinkie promise you guys it will. So once again, this is kind of a hard story to plan out I have no planned out event sequence, so yeah.
See you in the amazing chapter 10 XD
