#5, Rumours or… Rest
As I had said nothing much happened while I was inside at that time and the high point of the journey was the end when me and my guard person stopped in front of door where another man was standing. They talked for a moment and the one standing to the door seemed to get upset as his voice started to raise but my guard person said something that cut him short and he just opened the door. With that my guard person shoved me hard in the back and I stumbled inside.
I turned around as quickly as I could but the door was already slamming shut as I ran up to it. I started pounding my fists on the closed door and shouting things out to the two men outside but they just ignored me. I tried for a moment at trying to pull the door open but found there was no handle or knob on my side to try with. I paused a moment and one of the men walked away as the other muttered something to the turned back then there was silence outside.
I sighed and turned around to my new room, it was pitch black except for the occasional flash of red that came through the edges around the door. My hand went instinctively to my neck and where my necklace should have been that held my pokeballs and pokemon for comfort and cursed out loud as I remembered they had been taken. For a moment I wondered what had happened to them and if they were ok, as much as Quantum didn't like me I still cared about her and I didn't want her getting hurt.
My mind passed to another thought, that of the girl that we had seen. I knew she wasn't ok anymore, but I don't really know if she had been ok in the first place. Maybe she was sick and that's why she kind of looked like a pokemon? Those rumours couldn't have been right. I could remember hearing a few from older trainers as the squabbled after a match that one of them lost and it was always a good topic for two sides to debate on. The stories were coming from all over the place. Most trainers had heard one or two different things. Mostly the same story though just slightly different variations. Like the person was a different colour or something. Most people just brushed them off as rumours and nothing more and only talked about it because it was an interesting subject to see how other people responded and to see how outrageous their version of the story was.
The first one is mostly based about a boy that stumbled across a clearing after chasing some sort of grass pokemon, that part ranges from an Oddish to an Exeggutor, and he crash landed into some scrub falling down inside the clearing. He lost the pokemon and was grumbling to himself when he turned and looked out over the clearing to find a group of people in black and white. The people in black were holding guns and the people in white clipboards. The boy stayed where he was sitting because as he looked over the group he noticed someone else that was neither dressed in black or white but was in blue with green hair and not just blue in its clothes but blue of skin as well. The people in white were talking to themselves but were out of range for the kids hearing, this part changed also, sometimes the kid could actually hear what they were saying, other times he could hear but not understand, but personally I think he was out of hearing range. He sat and watched wide eyed as suddenly the guy in blue grew vine like things and sent them out to a tree close to him where upon he drew himself up into it. From there there was a shout and the blue guy glowed green a moment then the whole clearing was covered in a yellow sparkling stuff much like a Butterfree's stun spore. The boy ran at that moment. He wasn't noticed as all the people were paying their attention to the blue guy.
And the second story is where you have a group of travelling trainers that are going through some sort of building and start seeing large amounts of people in black clothing and others in white. They keep to the shadows and out of the way of the people so as to watch. As more and more of these weirdly dressed people start to show up the three trainers start to get worried and find a better hiding spot to stay in and watch from. Pretty much in a janitors closest they peek out of the door cracks in turn to watch the people pass by, noting the large amount of high powered firearms passing by as well along with the people. One of the three trainers starts to panic and the other two have to hold them back. A series of loud noises outside of the room like walls breaking down totally freak the trainer out, this part variates as to what the sound was exactly. Also the thing that there were three of them and their sexes tends to change about so that's why I'm just saying them. Anyway, as the trainer freaks at the loud noises they start to shout and yell and the other two start to get scared as well as they have to hold their friend back and try and keep them quiet so as not to be discovered. Suddenly the trainer breaks free of their friends and pushes through the door out into the corridor thing that it was attached two. Its two friends fall out pretty much along with them and they stand in the corridor in shock as they stare forwards. In their line of sight is basically wall upon wall missing large portions in a tunnel formation through them. And standing dead center in the middle of that was a man dressed in a muddy brown with grey skin. Or at least, what should have been skin, the guy looked like he was having some real troubles with it, as it was all bumpy and hard looking like he'd dipped his head in a cement mixer. Another thing that changed, the guy was sometimes green and had spikes, though they were more for the night around the campfire versions. Back on track again, now the sight of the thing totally sent the already scared trainers over the edge and they screamed as loud as they possibly could. This sent the other two along with the originally freaked trainer off as well and all three of them started up a chorus of screaming. Through all of this the thing just stood there and looked at them blankly with no emotion what so ever. It stared to open its mouth and before it had a chance to say anything the three trainers started screaming louder and started running in the opposite direction. As they ran around a corner they slammed one after the other into another one of these grey guys dressed in brown. Quickly getting themselves up and screaming with fresh breath they turned again and started running. Somehow they actually get out of the place without being followed by anyone or attracting the attention of any of the people in black, white or grey even though their screaming was more than loud enough to awake a sleeping Snorlax.
And those are the two basic outlines for the stories behind the majority of rumours that I've heard. There are heaps of small variations throughout both of them to make them seem like different stories but that's the main gist of both of them. I know there are also a couple of others but they aren't told so much on the whole and personally they sound even less likely to be real, as they are just so outrageous. Plus I can't remember them anymore.
Well the girl we had seen didn't really fit the category of either of those two things from the stories so I didn't know if it really had any relevance, but the way she had powers kind of did. And the men in black were in the stories as well but I hadn't seen anyone in white yet so I wasn't really sure.
Taking a step forwards inside the room I tried to catch a glimpse of the rest of the room as a red flash lit up a small portion of it. I started to count mentally for the next flash and after ten or so the room lit up for a small distance again. I quickly tried to take in as much as I could. There wasn't exactly much in the room just a table, chair, bed and a sink in the corner. Obviously some sort of living quarters, but who would stay in a room with no lights?
"Weird," I muttered then walked over to where I thought the bed was feeling with my hands along the wall and sat myself down as soon as I could. "Oh gawd, is this hard or what? Who would ever sleep on this? It's like sitting on the ground and its not exactly much warmer either."
I wasn't in a mode for sleep seeing as what had just happened and I was feeling more than a little high strung and on edge. I got myself up and started to walk around the room with my hands out in front of me just in case there was something that I hadn't seen so I wouldn't trip or anything. Going around the entire room I didn't find anything new which I didn't know if it was really good or bad. Sitting myself down again on the rock hard bed I sighed as my mind started going about in circles about what had just happened and how my friends were going.
I never realised it but at some point I moved myself up closer to the corner placing my back hard against the wall and somehow drifted off to sleep. I really don't know how I did that with all those thoughts buzzing about inside my head but I guess the rush that had come had started to die away and was leaving me as if I had just ran a marathon or something and I was exhausted.
