I am sorry for not updating in a while! I had other stuff to do and I started a Pokemon Ranger/ Hetalia fic, so yeah. Thanks to people who reviewed! This is more of a filler chapter than anything else. I just had to put this in. Enjoy!
Chapter Eight
Arthur moved on through the exit of Slateport City. After a short trek down the path, he found a house that had a purple roof. Arthur was curious about who lived there, due to it being a ways out of town.
He knocked on the door, and it opened. When he walked in, he didn't see anyone at first. Then he caught sight of a foot sticking out from under a table.
"I can see you under the table, you know."
"Wha? Aww. You're sharp, da-ze!" He came out, and stood by a tapestry hanging in the back. "Behold! I am the greatest mystery in all of Hoenn! Call me Yong Soo! Glad to meet you, da-ze!"
"Arthur Kirkland. A pleasure."
"You've come to challenge my Trick House, right?" Yong Soo asked.
"What?"
"That's why you're here, isn't it? Yes, it is!"
"Umm… Actually-"
"Consider your challenge accepted! Now go on, da-ze!" Yong Soo pushed him behind the tapestry.
"Bloody hell!" Arthur shouted, shocked from the impact.
"I'll be waiting in the back, da-ze!" Yong Soo called. The door closed, leaving Arthur in the rear of the house.
There were maze-like walls everywhere with small shrubs in the gaps between the walls. "Any ideas on how to get through here, Arceus?"
'Maybe if you edged past the small trees, you could find the exit? I really don't know.' She said.
"I'll do that. Thanks, Arceus." Arthur started making his way through the maze. When he found the door, he saw that he needed a pass-phrase to get by.
"Are you kidding me? I need to go back through the bloody maze!" Arthur shouted angrily.
'Look on the bright side. At least you know where the exit is.' Arceus pointed out.
"I guess. Oh! What's that?" Arthur saw a sign that said, 'Everything originated in Korea, da-ze!'
Arthur facepalmed. "Is that..?
'The pass-phrase? Most likely.' Arceus sighed. 'Let's go try it.'
When Arthur got back to the door, Arthur entered the phrase. The door swung open.
When he entered the back room, he found Yong Soo staring at a pile of papers.
"You wanker! Why would you push me into a maze? I didn't even want to challenge your 'Trick House!'" Arthur yelled.
"The why did you say that you did, da-ze?" Yong Soo questioned.
"I didn't. You came to that conclusion yourself." Arthur said in an eerily calm voice.
"Oh. Well here's your prize, da-ze!" Yong Soo announced.
"What is this, a piece of candy? Arthur asked.
"Kind of, da-ze. If you feed it to a pokemon, its level goes up by one!" Yong Soo said.
"Fascinating. I'm leaving now. Good bye." Arthur said.
"See you later, da-ze!"
Arthur left the house and started down the lower path that led to Mauville City.
