~~~Lunar's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were slowly walking south, the setting sun a sliver of light on the western horizon.
After the battle with the Rockets, everyone was exausted, and tired. I don't know how we were able to defeat them, but I knew that the Rockets would be back with more pokémon and reinforcements than the last battle.
"Hey, what's that?" Rokon asked, looking at a dark shape in the distance to the right of where we were walking.
"It looks like a house," I replied using my laser like vision.
"We could take shelter in there for the night," said the newly evolved Arbiter.
"Sounds like a good idea," Aquafire replied. Everyone started walking towards the dark house in the distance. As we approached, I saw the building in more and more detail.
The house was run down, black with age. The shutters hung precariously on one nail from the paint peeled windowsills. Most of the windows were cracked, broken, or missing. Shingles from the roof were strewn about the ground, and a hole was clearly visible in the roof. All in all, not precisely the best place to rest for a night.
"Aquafire, are you sire about that place?" Fireburst asked shakily.
"It's our only option for tonight, and the only way we can avoid the risk of capture while we're asleep," Aquafire said, staring at the even-darker house.
We cautiously approached the house, which looked more and more foreboding with each step towards it. Kirin went ahead and broke the two doors down with one seift kick of her hard hooves. We all went inside the house.
The inside was even darker than the outside. If it weren't for the light from Arbiter's tail and Fireburst's wings, we'd be walking around blind. Dusty cobwebs were everywhere, spread all over ancient furniture from decades ago. A stairwell made with boards arched crazily up to the second floor It looked so unstable that the slightest thing would make the entire thing collapse. Everything was covered with a thick blanket of dust at least an inch think. I saw Flameheart and Rokon attempt to keep the dust off their paws, but the effort was futile, so they eventually gave up on it.
"Where should we head to rest?" asked Shadow, looking at a broken grandfather clock in the main hall.
"How's upstairs?" Blade offered, kicking his way through a pile of dust as big as me.
"Scary, but we haven't investigated it yet," said Calypso, looking up the stairwell. "Let's go." With that, she led the way up the rickety stairs. Each step seemed to bend under my weight, a very unnerving thought, believe me.
We all reached the top landing safely, with Aquafire at the end. Upstairs wasn't much better than downstairs, a little less dust, a little less cobwebs everywhere. The dust swirled around our feet, creating little dust tornadoes. I saw Shockwave go over to an old oak door to our right and try to open it. The door opened slowly with a creeeeaaakkk, throwing up a little dust up as it swung open. Everyone peered inside the room. A dust covered room greeted our eyes.
"More dust," groaned Redyan. "Isn't there a room in this trash building that has no dust at all? Because I'm getting annoyed at all this stuff."
No one replied, since they all went back outside into the dark hallway.
"Hey Redyan, you can crawl on my back and sit," I offered. Redyan climbed on, and I walked back out and caught up with the others.
They had reached the farthest door and were about to open it, when some strange gas-like figures came floating in front of us and hovered. In the dark, it was kind of hard to see what they were, but we had an idea what they are.
"Gastlys," said Calypso worriedly. The gaseous figures swirled around us. Then, a total of ten of them materialized into their visible forms.
"Who goes tramping through our house?" said the eerie voice of one of the Gastlys. it looked like the head Gastly. "I, Darkpsy, commands it!"
"We are tired pokémon who want to rest the night," Larissa said shakily, looking up at the Gastly. The head Gastly gave a look at its buddies. It then turned back at us.
"Very well," said Darkpsy, using a small energy orb to open the last door. We all ran inside the room. It was brightly lit with new-looking upholstery and soft pillows all over, obviously for us to sleep on. Each of us jumped onto some pillows and curled up to sleep. I lay on a crimson pillow, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
~~~Aquafire's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wait," said Darkpsy to me. The others were asleep. "There still is a price to pay for us to allow you to stay here."
"What price is that?" I asked questioningly.
"I have the priveledge to take possesion of one of you for as long as I want," Darkpsy said evilly.
"You can't take possesion of my friends!" I yelled. Calypso and Kirin woke up from their light slumber and looked around curiously. I thought about this price. And came to the only conclusion I could come to.
"Take me," I said resignedly, bowing my head down. Darkpsy laughed evilly as it entered my body and took possesion of my mind and body. No one noticed at all as the sinister laughter faded away.
