(The Next Day at the Woods)
They 20 participants just stand around waiting for the Champion to arrive. Many are in jackets because of the chance of rain today. Emma and Katie are both in grey jackets jeans and white shirts while Brady is in a black jacket and blue shirt and black jeans. Andrew finally shows put he is in a maroon colored hoodie a white shirt and blue jeans. He walks to the announce table and joins Bailey which is in a blue rain coat.
"Rain or shine we do this event" said Andrew looking up at the sky.
"I know" said Bailey also looking at this giant cloud overhead.
Andrew then grabs the mic and walks over to the rest of the participants.
"Ok lets get right to it. Today's event is called the Maze of Despair. This is the single longest maze right now. You will deal with ghost pokemon. They are not going to hurt you but they will scare you. This maze will change every ten minutes. So you could say if you reach a dead end then it changes you could be trapped from any were from 10 minutes to an hour depending on how the maze changes. This maze can take anywhere from 12 hours to 2 days to finish" said Andrew.
"This could take a while" said Emma looking at Brady getting nervous about what could happen.
"I know" said Brady he too is also nervous because of the events that are about to unfold.
"Now to get to the maze you have to ride the bike provided. Once there you may call out your pokemon and you may start the maze. Also on the bike there is a bag for each of you. Inside that bag is all the supplies you need to survive the 48 hours you will need to survive the maze. There is snacks, a flashlight, water bottles, and a timer. The timer will have 10 minutes on it once the timer rings the maze will change then reset itself. Also on the timer there is an emergency button on the back if you need to use it press it and someone will come to your aid. If used you will receive a DNF or a Did Not Finish and will receive no points. This event will continue even if it rains. So is everyone ready" said Andrew as he looks at the crowd sitting there.
"I do not know about this" said Katie to Emma as they look at some of the faces of the other participants.
"From dealing with Beedrill now to dealing with ghost pokemon. Great this should be fun" said Daniel sarcastically.
"Ok participants get to your bikes and get ready. You will have to ride the bikes straight up the hill then to the right to the maze" said Bailey.
She then returns the mic to Andrew.
"Ok on your marks... Get set... and GO!" said Andrew.
The riders take off from the woods towards the maze. The riders are all about even going toward the hill. They all reach the hill. going up the hill Daniel takes the early lead. But closely behind him his Brady and behind him is Martin. The girls are having a tough time getting up the hill but slowly and steadily getting there. As the first person reaches the maze the last person has reached the top of the hill. She too makes to the maze. Daniel looks at this maze.
"Ok this looks a lot harder then when Andrew was explaining it" said Daniel.
Cat looks at Daniel and shakes her head. Just then it starts to rain which alone makes this maze harder.
"Brady are we going to be able to do this?" asked Emma just standing there looking at the maze.
"I guess all we have to do is go" said Brady.
They all take the bag they have off the bike and take out the flashlights and walk into the maze. The maze has no lights they have what looks like torches and cables but they are not lite up.
"There has to be reason why they are here" said Brady as he looks at the torches and touches the line.
"Whats up with it Brady?" said Emma looking confused at Brady as people pass them deeper into the maze.
"There are power in the cables but why are the torches not lite?" asked Brady just looking plain confused.
The timer they have just went off and they all hear the mazes walls starting to shift. All the events all happen at the same time so as the timer goes for one it goes off for everyone the events happen at the same time for everyone.
(Summer, Lacey, Brie)
"I think we hit a dead end" said Summer.
"Yeah I agree lets turn around" said Lacey.
Once they turned around and walked back the way they came but when the maze changed it now blocked that way.
"I think we are trapped" said Summer.
Just then they all hear laughing but as they looked around they saw nothing. They kept looking and looking but nothing and the laughing just gets louder.
"What is that?" said Brie just looking around trying to see anything.
She then shines the light into the hedge and still nothing.
"Summer I thing the laughing is coming from the other side of this hedge wall" said Lacey.
"Are you sure?" asked Summer looking scared thinking of what else could be.
As Lacey shines the light to the hedge behind them the timer in their pockets start going off. The maze shifts again and opening a little area they can go out but they can still hear laughing even though they manged to leave that spot.
(Daniel and Cat)
"We have dealt with ghost pokemon so this should be easy" said Daniel confident.
"That is true but they do like to make jokes out of humans" said Cat a little less confident.
The timer on Daniel belt went off and once again the maze shifts.
"Ok why are there random electronics." said Cat just looking plain confused at the random electronics.
"I do not know lets just keep going" said Daniel.
After they kept walking the cable became lite with a lot of electricity and just then a Rotom appears. Rotom heads over to the washing machine and phases into it and then follows Daniel and Cat.
"Do you think something is following us" said Cat.
"Why do you think so?" said Daniel.
"Look at my Vaporeon's hair. Its standing up" said Cat.
"It is" said Daniel.
They turn around to see the washing machine right behind them and the Rotom inside left back into the cables.
"How..." said Daniel looking confused.
"I thought you knew about ghost pokemon" said Cat also confused.
"I do but as much as I know a ghost pokemon cannot move a washer that big" said Daniel walking over to the Washer.
Just then the Rotom returns to the machine and shoots water at Daniel. The water get him wet and all the Rotom does is laugh. That made Daniel's Lucario mad and he walked over to the machine. Lucario too gets shot with some water. Again causing the Rotom to laugh.
"Lucario get him" said Daniel mad about being dripping wet.
The Lucario causes the Rotom to run away and Daniel and his Lucario to run after it. The timer on his pocket then beeps causing the maze to shift. This time the shift causing him to be a part from his friend Cat. Not only was he a part from Cat but also from the Rotom. He then runs back to see the shift caused him to be apart from Cat.
"Cat just stay there I will find a way to get to you" said Daniel a little nervous and a little scared to be apart from her.
"I am not leaving. I cannot anyway I am trapped in" said Cat calm and relaxed just to wait for another shift.
(Mark, Freddie B., Toby)
"I know the maze shifts" said Mark.
"Yeah we know it does Mark" said Toby.
"Lets just get through this with you two always fighting" said Freddie B annoyed and mad.
The three of them continue to walk through this maze. Their timer dings and the maze shifts again. This time the three have to go back a little ways to find a way to progress. As they walked back something kept making a noise that made them stop and look behind them. But every time they stopped they saw nothing . About the 10th time they stopped this time they saw just some teeth in the air.
"Ok thats freaky" said Mark just staring at the teeth as opened up.
"Maybe we should run" said Toby scared of what the teeth could do.
"No lets just try to attack it" said Mark signaling his Electabuzz to move.
"Electabuzz use thunderpunch" said Mark.
After the thunderpunch missed the pokemon. The pokemon showed himself as to be a Gengar. The Gengar took up a fighting stance with his fist in font of him as two Haunter appear laughing at the Gengar. As the three pokemon make fun of the three trainers the trainers are just standing there speechless and confused at what the three ghost pokemon are doing. Then the timer dings again and the maze shifts. This time the shift causes the three trainers to be sperated from the ghost pokemon that are still standing in the same spot laughing. They looked at each other and left.
"What was that?" asked Mark.
"Well if I knew I would tell you" said Toby.
"I think the ghost pokemon were mocking us" said Freddie B.
They begun walking again around the maze. They all hope that will be the last run in with ghost pokemon but the three could not be more wrong. Because around the corner is the Rotom inside the washer.
(Jenna, Cassie, and Jade)
"So shall we go this and win this event" said Jenna.
"So what about the ghost pokemon?" asked Cassie looking nervously at Jenna.
"As long as we keep our distance from them we will be find" said Jenna.
"Ok good point" said Cassie.
They begun walking down one area walking forwards. They then walks into what looks like a empty space.
"Jenna what do you think happened here?" asked Cassie.
"Well my guess is this is not real" said Jenna.
"What do you mean?" asked Cassie looking confused.
"I noticed when we walked by here a ghost pokemon was standing around laughing. Then I knew we walked right into his confuse ray" said Jenna.
"So how do we get out of here?" asked Cassie stilled confused.
"We have to find the pokemon who did this to us" said Jenna.
"Ok" said Cassie.
They walk through what looks like a arena. Jenna looks closely at the arena and she then remembers where she saw this from. This arena was the place she lost which prevented her from making it to the Grand Festival. She lost to a Dusclops last year.
"Whats up Jenna" asked Cassie.
"I remember this place this is the place I lost to a Dusclops one ribbon away from making it to the Grand Festival" said Jenna.
"So I think in order to get out of this we need to find a Dusclops" said Cassie.
"Yeah I agree" said Jenna.
They searched and searched but found nothing. Then Jenna finds herself in the same spot as last year looking at the same person too. I have to win this time. The Dusclops walks over to Jenna and looks at her.
"Weavile a little help" said Jenna calling over her Weavile.
Her Weavile joins her. The timer sets to 5 minutes and the ghost version of the trainer and the Dusclops appear.
(Contest Battle Jenna vs. Ghost Trainer)
"Lets go Weavile" said Jenna.
The ghost trainer points at the Dusclops and the Dusclops moves over the arena.
"If we want to get out of this confuse ray I have to win this time" said Jenna to herself.
5:00
Weavile: 100%
Dusclops: 100%
The Dusclops tries to use shadow ball
"Dodge it Weavile and use dark pulse." The dark pulse nails the Dusclops and knocks him around.
"Hit Dusclops with ice beam." The ice beam completely freezes the Dusclops.
"The Dusclops use will-o-wisp to burn out of the ice.
3:00
Weavile: 92%
Dusclops: 72%
"Ok I fill like I can win this" said Jenna to herself.
The Dusclops tries to use shadow punch.
"Weavile dodge it and use ice beam again." Both moves hit the opposing pokemon knocking them around.
The Dusclops then tries to use shadow ball.
"Weavile use dark pulse." The Dark pulse destroys the shadow ball and blows back the Dusclops.
1:00
Weavile: 88%
Dusclops: 65%
"One more minute and we win and get out of here" said Jenna.
"Weavile use ice beam."
The Dusclops uses will-o-wisp to burn through the ice and hits the Weavile. The Weavile is now burned.
"Weavile lets end this and use dark pulse."
The Dusclops tries to use shadow ball but due to the dark pulse the Dusclops was unable to launch an attack and the shadow ball blew in his face.
0:00
Weavile: 71%
Dusclops: 60%
"It looks like I won" said Jenna.
The Dusclops shakes his head and phases away. They then return back to the maze. The timer beeps and the maze shifts on them. Leaving them just sitting on the ground thinking about what just happened.
(Leon, Freddie, and Chance)
"Lets get through this and right now it does not matter about first" said Leon.
"Yeah I can agree to that" said Freddie smiling and laughing but he notices he is not the only one laughing.
"Did anyone else hear that" said Chance.
"Yeah what do you thing it is" said Freddie.
They walk forward a little and then a Misdreavus it uses screech and causes the other trainers to fall to their knees. Also their pokemon goes to their knees. Then the Misdreavus stops and starts to laugh.
"You think thats funny just wait till we get to you" said Chance angerly.
He stands up and so does his Golett. Him and Golett chase after the Misdreavus.
"Wait do not forget about the..."said Leon getting cut off by the beeping of timers.
This ends up sperating Chance from Leon and Freddie. Freddie and Leon just kept moving along and so does Chance.
"Hopefully Chance is Ok" said Leon.
"He will be just find since he does have his Golett with him" said Freddie.
The timer then beeps again shifting the maze. This time it trapped Chance and his Golett behind four tall hedges.
(Eilliot, Dalton and Martin)
"Ok so we are going to deal with ghost pokemon and their tricks they are capable of" said Martin.
"Then what are waiting for lets go" said Dalton.
They walk into the maze and begun walking through it. They kept going till they saw around the corner a couple Haunter trying to scare each other.
"Lets avoid them" said Eilliot.
"Yeah lets walk right pass them" said Dalton.
They walk right towards the Haunter once the got close enough three Ghastly notice them and fly around their head.
"Go away you three" said Martin. trying to shoo them away.
That caught the attention of the Haunter and they came over and joined the Ghastly tormenting the three. One of the Haunter fly over to Martin and licks him. This causing Martin to get shivers up and down his spine. He was unable to speak a word. Martin's Leavanny jumps right in front of him. The Haunter also licks Leavanny. Which causes Leavanny to be paralyzed. The Haunter and Ghastly fly off. Eilliot and Dalton chase after them but the timer in their pockets go off causing the maze to shift. Still running after them right after the maze shifts the two run right into the wall knocking them onto their back. Martin is just standing there still shivering from the lick.
(Brady, Emma, and Katie)
"Ok why are these flashlights not turning on" said Brady.
"Maybe they are dead" said Emma.
"I do not think so we have not even turned them on" said Brady.
They look around and spot a couple of candles on the ground.
"Emma grab one and so will I" said Brady.
"There is something odd about those two candles that are just odd" said Katie to Emma and Brady.
"What then?' said Emma.
"For one the flame on them are purple. Two they faces and three they laughing at you hold them" said Katie.
The other two look at the candles and they two see the faces.
"I think these are Litwick" said Brady.
"Yeah they are" said Emma.
They dropped the two candles and ran away. the timer in Brady's pocket goes off and the maze shifts. As the maze shifts the way they were going is now blocked.
"I guess we better go back a little to find another way" said Brady.
They walk back and found another way opened. They decide to go that way. They walk a little ways and found a split in the maze.
"So we have two ways to go" said Katie.
"Yeah the right way has a light down it and the left is dark" said Brady.
"I guess we should go to the left then" said Emma.
They walk down the left. As the walked down the left side they begun to notice that there was what looks like Chandeliers hanging around.
"Those look like the candles we found earlier" said Brady.
"Yeah they do they have the purple flames just like the Litwicks." said Katie.
"They must be Chandelures" said Emma.
"That is the third form of Litwick if I am right" said Brady.
One of them drops off from the roof and looks at the three and begins to float in the air. He looks at them and flies back to the roof.
The timer then beeps causing the maze to shift again. This time the three are trapped in the room with all the Chandelures.
"How long do you think we will be trapped?" asked Emma.
"Remember what the Champion said" said Brady.
They all remember what he said.
~Earlier that day~
" So you could say if you reach a dead end then it changes you could be trapped from any were from 10 minutes to an hour depending on how the maze changes." said Andrew.
~Back to normal time~
"I guess its best to wait it out as long as we do not do anything to disrupt the Chandelures" said Emma.
They all find a quite spot to sit down and wait it out.
Ok so I broke up this maze into two maybe three chapters more it all depends on how long it takes to get a winner. Next I am looking for a good idea for the third and final event so if you have an idea PM it to me or post it in the review.
