The lake was barely visible through the constant downpour of rain. They navigated their way through the constant sheets of heavy rain drops beating down on them until they saw Greens Charizard hidden below the thick trees lining the outside of the lake, its tail only just visible. They moved quickly and cautiously through the forest, which thankfully protected them from the weather due to the density of the trees.
'There. 'Red pointed towards what appeared to be an entrance to a building totally engulfed by over-grown trees and vines.
'They're going to expect us' Green began. 'We have to think of a plan, we can't just walk through the front do- GOLD' Green hissed as they watched the Johto boy pry open the door, he looked back with a grin, gesturing with his hand for the others to follow. 'Idiot' they mumbled following him through the entrance.
The door led to a brightly lit hallway which slightly resembled a prison. Doors lined one side of the hallway which lead to a second floor via stairs at the end. The building was completely silent, only the faint sound of rain outside could be heard. Gold lead the way up the stairs, taking slow steps until he reached the top. This hallway was narrow with a few closed doors lining the right side, his eyes trailed down the hallway until he was staring straight down the hallway at a familiar face.
An open door directly ahead revealed a very scared Crystal, sitting on her knees with her hands tied behind her back and tape covering her mouth. 'Crystal!' Gold screamed as he bolted down the hallway towards her. Crystal stared at Gold with panic in her eyes; she began shaking her head violently at her rescuer. 'Gold wait!' Red screamed knowing this situation was too good to be true.
Gold was metres away from her when a door flung open next to him, long vines shot out binding his body where he stood. The vines withdrew Gold into the room slamming the door behind them. Green starred at Crystal who was now being dragged back into the darkness of the room, in her place came three voltorbs rolling quickly towards them. 'Run!' Green urged as he grabbed Red by the arm who was still in shock. They practically jumped the flight of stairs only to be further propelled forward by the force of the voltorbs exploding against the wall above. After the smoke cleared there appeared to be nothing wrong with the building, it was completely in tack. The now fainted Pokémon slowly rolled back down the corridor out of sight.
'We have to get out of here Red this is a trap, once we get outside we will make a plan' urged Green. Once the noise of the blast had cleared, silence fell upon them again. They slowly walked towards the exit until they heard a noise.
"CLICK…..CLICK, CLICK, CLICK"
They spun around to see that every door on the first floor had been simultaneously unlocked, slowly creaking open to reveal pitch black rooms within.
Red and Green continued to back away towards the exit, watching the doors for anything inside. Noise could be heard from the last door, and out emerged Yellow; she ran into Red's arms sobbing and crying. 'Yellow! I'm so glad you're alright' he said comforting her in his arms. 'Yellow where are the others, what happened here, where's Blue?' Green questioned. Yellow didn't answer and kept sobbing into Reds shirt. 'Green she's obviously in shock we'll get her out of here and work it out from there' Red suggested as he tried to walk with Yellow attached to him. She didn't move, she grabbed Greens arm and pulled them both into a hug.
'Yellow what's wro...'Greens voice trailed off as Yellow's sobs turned into a childish giggle they had never heard before. They tried to break out of her grip but she refused to let go. Her body began to melt into the shape-shifting Pokémon ditto. They pulled away in panic but could not escape the deceiving Pokémon's grip. As quick as it had changed back to its original form it had become the shape of a Machoke. The Pokémon now towered over Red and Green, it swiftly grabbed their heads and knocked them together.
Everything went black.
