Chapter 12: Fire Dungeon Part 1

Yellow P.O.V.

I took a breath before carefully walking on the bridge. I swayed this way and that and thanks to the heat, the rope were quite rusty. Any false movement and it could be the end. Mist flew next to Yellow not wanting to put extra weight on the girl. This isn't too hard I thought walking down the bridge. I spoke too soon. As soon as the bats that had been fluttering around caught sight of me the flew at me like jets skis. "Eeeck!" Cried Mist as she zipped inside my hat for protection. "Ahhh!" I yelled trying to swat them away. But my yelling seemed to attract more of them. They kept zooming around me, some biting me while others just taunting me. I found myself confused in the wall of bats, I couldn't see where I was going. I blindly walked on the bridge oblivious of the fact that I was about to fall off into my doom. All of a sudden I felt one smack me with it's wing and made me topple over the rope handle bar. "Woah!" I cried stopping myself just before I fell in. "Yellow! They're trying to push us in!" Screamed Mist from inside my hat. It was too late, one of them tripped me and I slid down over the side hanging on for dear life. Seeing this they all rushed upon me now. Some trying to pull me down, other flying in front of my face biting my arms, while the rest nipped my hands trying to make me let go. I winced in pain as their razor sharp teeth cut in through the flesh. "AHHH!" I screamed with all my might. Suddenly there was a enormous blinding flash of light. When I opened my eyes I saw all the bats were dead and some puffed into smoke. My eyes widened. Wait...if they puffed into smoke then that means they weren't normal...they were monsters! I thought in realization. I looked in front of me and was shocked to see an electric mouse standing on all fours in the middle of the bridge in front of me with it's cheeks still sparking electricity. "Chuchu!" I said in disbelief. She turned around and immediately the sparks vanished. "Pika!" She cried happily running to my side. I carefully pulled myself up and sat there exhausted. Mist peered out of my hat. "Yellow, are we alive?" I sighed but nodded. "Yeah." With that she flew out of my hat as I turned to Chuchu. "Arigato gozaimasu!" I said hugging the mouse tightly. "Chu!" She said nuzzling me with concern. Mist glanced around. "I don't see anymore bats. I think all the ones in this area are taken care of." She said in relief. "Anyway, how did you you I needed help?" I asked. [I heard you scream and managed to let myself out. I saw what those things were doing to you so I used Thunderbolt] Chuchu replied as I read her memories. I smiled. "Mist, I think I'm gonna leave Chuchu out incase more of those things come back." I said getting up. She nodded. "Alright." With that Chuchu hopped unto my shoulder and I walked across the bridge with no problem. When we got to the pillar Mist made me drink another red potion. "Okay...which way?" I asked looking around. Once we had come to the middle pillar we had a come across a problem. It was a dead end. Mist looked around and something caught her eye. "Yellow! Over here." She pointed. I looked up at the side wall and saw that there were planks going up the wall on the ledges. "Looks like the Larks are trickier than we expected." I nodded and jumped onto the plank that wound itself up. I continued the process and eventually the path led me to a door. I just arrive into the first area and already I almost fall to my death, what a life I thought entering the next section of the dungeon.

"Woah..." I stood on the bank as a river of lava was just ahead of me. I looked from side to side and saw the lava were like canals connected to each other. I looked ahead an saw about 20 meters ahead was another bank that led to another tunnel. "Uh...now what?" I thought nervously. Mist stared at the situation for a moment then sighed. "I think I can help." She said. I looked at her. "How?" "Well...you know what Kitt first called me?" I nodded. "Yeah, Blossom-sama. Why?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Well, as you know I come from the Royal Fairy Court. And of course, the fairy with the most power is the queen herself." I nodded slowly. "Well, you see the court is divided into many branches. I come from the Earth Branch." "Earth Branch?" "Yes, the branches are apart of our government. They are divided by the elements. Anyway, you know that I am not a fairy, but a pixie right?" "Yeah..." "Well, fairies are considered more powerful that pixies so we have a president of the ech on on the branches, my president is called the Earth Fairy. The presidents act like the congress to the Fairy Queen." Mist explained. "Another kind we have are Sprites and Sparrowmen." "Sparrowmen? You mean like Kitt?" She nodded. "Yes, but those kind of magic creatures are apart of a different society linked with the Fairy Court. They are known as the council." I nodded but my head was swirling with this sudden information. Since the Fairy Court includes Mizuchie-sama as the head mistress, it is considered the most powerful government of all. With the Royal Fairy Court, Congress, and the Council all together it makes up the entire Fairy Kingdom." "Wow." I said wide eyed. "Anyway, as I was saying I'm under the Earth branch because I am classified as a Garden Pixie." "A what?" "Garden pixie, I control plants and can bid them to do my will. I'm also responsible to take care of them and make sure they thrive. It is apart of the job in being a garden pixie. Anyway, the court has a specialized robe all attendants must wear. Just like the Congress and Council have their own unique uniforms they must wear to be able to distinguish from one another. That's how Kitt could tell immediately that I came from the Fairy Court—from looking at my robe." "I see." I replied in understanding. "Anyway, my specialty are sakuras." "Sakuras?" "Yes, since I was born the most royal plant to me was the sakuras. Our elements determine our pheno-types. Since the sakuras were the truest to me, I ended up getting a pink and red theme. Just like Mizuchie-sama's gift is water." "Water." I repeated. "Yes, that's why her characteristics is mainly blue like the ocean. Over time she developed the use of ice, wind, fog. It was because they matched her element. Once she gained these new abilities her mortal name was born. And as you know, it is Aquatheina." Mist took a deep breath. "So anyway, now you know why Kitt called me Blossom-sama—my pheno-type matched that of cherry blossoms." "Okay, but how will that help us?" "Take out you bottle and poor a few drops of water on the ground." I did as she said and I watched as she flew over and planted a seed in the moist water. "Kayan an dee yiah o zo, can moor dou. Mina kam i for thy name of thee noché." She whispered in a quiet singing voice. The spot where the seed was planted glowed a light green. I gasped as suddenly a tree sprouted out of the ground. It's trunk leaned over and it's branches kept stretching across until it met the other end of the bank. A bunch of cherry blossoms bloomed on the branches and the leaves waved lightly in the intense heat of the lava. "Now we have a bridge, let's go Yellow!" Mist cheered. I nodded and smiled quickly climbing up the tree and racing across the branches to the other side. My feet pounded the ground as I dashed into the tunnel.

It was quite confusing actually. It kept twisting here and there. Along the way I fought monsters here and there and as well encountered some more bats. Chuchu fried them of course. Thanks to her cheeks sparking electricity, they were bright enough to light the way. Finally I found a door guarded by jiggly alien-looking things. "Jellybugs, don't worry. Just be sure that they won't slime you down." Mist instructed. "Alright Chuchu, a little Thundershock if you will." I whispered. "Chu!" She cried sending small jolt of electricity startling the creatures. "Here I go!" I charged back slicing them. The last one stared wide eyed as it's comrades puffed into smoke. It backed into the door looking as if it was hiding something. My eyes narrowed. "Ah!" I yelled ran at it swinging my sword. It shuddered in panic and managed to duck as my sword missed its mark and slashed the door. It jumped away from me leaving a trial of slime behind it. I whirled around. "Thunderbolt!" I commanded. "Pikachu!" Chuchu let out a bolt of static electrifying the monster. "Argh!" I cried giving it one last blow before it crumpled to the ground and exploded into smoke. As the smoke went away something shiny was left in it's place. Curious I stepped closer. "It's a key." Mist said as I picked it up. "What do you think it opens?" "Who knows, but for now let's get out of here." I nodded and walked through the door. As I came out I realized I was back in Area 1. I looked down and saw the entrance and the bridge hundreds of feet below me. I gulped. To think, I started all the way down there and ended up here. I wonder just how long this dungeon is I thought looking around. I saw another ledge with a platform on it. One problem, there was a huge boulder in the way, if I tried to climb it one slip and it'd be the end. I swallowed looking at Mist. "Got any ideas?" I asked looking at the pixie who once again was in a thoughtful state of mind. "...why don't we fly over?" I shook my head. "Kitty would be affected by the heat, besides, I think she would be troubled if she knew lava was below us. She's bug type after all." Mist nodded rubbing her chin. Just then an idea struck me. "Well...in time like these, I suppose we should do a little bowling." Mist looked at me blankly. "Nani?" I grinned. "Go, Goldsuke!" I yelled as the Megaton Pokémon came out. He looked at me expectantly. "Roll Out now!" I commanded. Goldsuke crunched down into a somersault potion then rolled down with such force in a straight path. It crushed into the boulder shattering it sending the pieces falling down over the ledge. One the boulder was destroyed he uncurled himself and let out a triumphant cry. I smiled. "Arigato." I said returning him. I turned to Mist. "Let's go." With that we ran on the platform. As we ran across a chunk of it was missing like before, so I jumped and landed on a cliff. As I stood up I saw a door in front of me but the platform continued around the door. I looked at Mist. "Now what?" Mist frowned. "...Remember that key? try it on the door." She suggested. I heard a click and the door opened. I looked at Mist who nodded so I entered the door. I was led to another tunnel.

This time large boarded up planks were nailed into the passageways and I couldn't break them. I wandered into a dark alley way when suddenly I was jumped. Chuchu used Tackle knocking the creature off balance while I gave the finishing move. As it puffed into smoke I saw the weapon it had was a wooden stick. Intrigued I picked it up and saw it was sturdy. I turned to the boarded up archway again and hit it using the stick. The wood splintered and I was able to get through. I tossed away the stick and proceeded to run down the corridor. As I round the bend I saw another door but it had metal bars protecting it. As I approached a swarm of bats flew at me. Chuchu already prepared, let out a Thunderbolt frying all of them. I turned to look around the room. It looked pretty ordinary. I came to one side to wear a spotted a monster camouflaged perfectly. I snuck up on it and delivered a fatal blow. It screeched in alarm and shrank back against the wall. "P-wesse d-unt hurt mii!" It sputtered. I blinked looking at it. "And why should we?" Mist asked. "I-I'll tell you how to get through that door. J-just dunt hurt mii!" I sighed. I was having rotten luck with it anyway, might as well give it a chance. "Fine." I replied putting away my sword. It stared at me in shock. "R-really?" I nodded. "O-okay. I turned to the door. "All you do is take a stick, put it on fire and throw it at the door. It'll burn the bars in seconds. I looked at him suspiciously. "You're positive?" He nodded his head vigorously. I looked at him hard before taking a stick of the floor and using the fire on a torch conveniently placed by the door set the stick on fire. I turned my back to him and prepared to throw it at the door. Taking it's chance, the creature suddenly sprang at me. "Yellow!" Mist gasped spotting the thing lunge at me. Chuchu's cheeks sparked electricity and she jumped off me using Volt Tackle on the creature. It let out a blood curdling cry as it was barbecued. It then puffed into smoke. Chuchu landed neatly on the floor glaring a the place where the creature had once stood. at the same moment the stick collided into the bars. In a few moments the bars were burnt down. I sighed as Chuchu hopped unto my shoulder. "Thanks girl." I whispered petting her head. With that we went through the door. As I went through something I didn't expect happened. I was greeted with a cool blast of air. I opened my eyes and gaped. I was outside the canyon on the cliff side deep within the mountain. There only way to access this area was to go through the dungeon. Mist took a deep breath and let it out in relief. "Finally, I was beginning to think we'd never get out." I nodded and gazed around at my settings once more. Only half way there, wait for me Crystal! I thought as the wind blew blowing my hair slightly.
