Enter the Darkness
Brian…Wake up… BRIAN! Brian popped up. He looked around. Andy was kneeling next to him. Celia was trying to wake up the Professor who was unconscious. There had apparently been an earthquake. A fissure separated the lab into 2. The walls were still standing but the ceiling had caved in.
"About time Brian. You ok?" Brian rubbed his head. But then he winced. A chunk of the ceiling had not only fallen on his head and knocked him out, but it fell onto his leg. "My leg's hurt, but I'll be ok." Totodile was sitting next to Celia. Charmander was standing behind Andy.
"Where's that Treecko?" Brian asked. He got up and he saw Treecko lying on a rooftop that had not yet collapsed.
"Get down here you lazy butt!" The Treecko hopped down. It dashed toward Brian and used Pound attack on his head again.
"OWW! You gotta quit doing that!" Treecko glared at Brian. Brian suddenly remembered his family.
"My mom! My dad!" Brian tried running to his house but his injured leg collapsed under him. However, he got back up and limped to the house which had almost collapsed but was still standing. When he was almost there, a black bolt of energy struck the spot right next to him. The explosion knocked Brian back.
Celia got up and turned around at the noise. "What have you done Bri- HOLY COW!"
An over-sized Haunter stared at them. Its body looked like it was just a ball of purple fire. Its eyes were blank and without expression.
"Charmander! Use Ember now!" Charmander leaped up and fired a small burst of fire from its mouth. It hit the Haunter straight in the face. However, it didn't seem injured. It fired another Night Shade, aimed for Brian.
Celia screamed, "Brian, look out!" Brian saw the oncoming attack and jumped as far as he could with his injured leg. The attack missed him and exploded onto one of the remaining walls of the lab.
"Totodile, Water Gun!" Totidile jumped out of the way of a Night Shade and blasted a stream of water toward the Haunter. Again, the attack hit the Haunter, but it didn't look injured. The Haunter seemed to be trying to kill Brian.
Suddenly, a Treecko jumped out at the Haunter. It dashed at it at an incredible speed. Treecko just passed straight through Haunter.
Brian idiotically asked, "What happened?" Celia and Andy's sweat dropped.
"You moron! Normal attacks don't work against Ghost-types!" Celia yelled.
Brian replied, "Oh, ok then. Treecko use Pound!" Treecko looked at Brian like he was an idiot. But it jumped into the air and slammed its tail onto Haunter. The attack passed straight through.
"You idiot." Andy said. "Pound is a normal attack. Tell it to use Absorb."
"Ok. Treecko, Ab-"
Treecko was hit by a Night Shade attack. He was sent flying back. He hit Brian, toppling him.
"Pathetic… Charmander! Ember now!" "Totodile! Use Leer!" Totodile's eyes grew red. But the Haunter didn't seem affected. Charmander fired three small blasts of fire. They connected, but still the Haunter wasn't hurt.
"How do we beat this thing?" Celia asked. Andy ordered, "Charmander, Ember again!" But before Charmander could attack, Haunter teleported in front of it. It blasted Charmander with a point blank range Night Shade. At that moment, a jet of water blasted Haunter. It turned around and threw a Shadow Ball attack at Totodile. After the dust cleared, Celia and Totodile were unconscious. Haunter moved closer to Brian. But finally Brian and Treecko got back up.
"What happened to everyone? Huh? Everyone's beaten? Oh well. I'll beat this thing myself. Treecko, Absorb!" Treecko shot a small green energy blast that hit Haunter. When it hit, it exploded into a lot of tiny bubbles that came back to Treecko. It looked more energized.
Brian exclaimed, "Ooh! That attack sucks energy from the opponent." "Duh you dumbbutt. Why do you think they call it ABSORB?" Andy said.
The Haunter threw another Shadow Ball. Treecko easily dodged it and used Absorb again. This kept happening until Treecko was at full strength.
"Now Brian, tell Treecko to use Bullet Seed." "Bullet Seed? What's that?" "Just do it!" "Ok Treecko, use Bullet Seed." Treecko looked at Brian questionably. It obviously didn't know that attack. But then its face lit up. A yellow glow charged up in its mouth. It then fired a continuous stream of energized seeds at Haunter. Every single one of them hit its mark. Haunter finally began to look weaker and weaker.
"Treecko, keep up the good work!" When Treecko was firing seeds, Celia woke up.
"Totodile! Are you ok?" Totodile didn't respond. She recalled her Pokemon. Andy did the same.
Although Haunter was getting weaker, Treecko was starting to look tired. Pretty soon it stopped the attack and knelt there, gasping for air. Haunter saw this chance and blasted Treecko with a Shadow Ball attack.
"Treecko! Noooooo!" Brian held the Treecko in his arms. But then Haunter raised its 2 hands and it created a black vortex that was sucking everything in.
"Everyone, hold on to something!" Andy clung to a telephone pole. Celia hid behind the broken wall. Brian was too busy trying to care for Treecko to notice the situation. Before he knew it, he was sucked in by Haunter. Chunks of the wall flew off and were sucked in. Not long after that Celia had nothing to cover her. She flew by Andy and went in the vortex. Only Andy was left. The telephone pole broke off and Andy could feel the vortex ripping him apart. Then there was silence and he fell unconscious.
