We last left off with Kahrik being plagued by a mysterious nightmare that left us with three more questions to be answered. But what about Kyuri? We left the female Cubone back at Clefable's Guild after Team Alpha ran off.
This is a pretty short chapter, so I apologize in advance.
Pokemon belongs to GameFreak... I think... I own Team Omega and most of the members of the guild. Honey and Szac belong to Honeywhisker and Joker, respectively.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Eternal Nightmare
Chapter 6: A Summons from Suicune?
Kyuri's POV
After Team Alpha ran off, the guild went back to their normal functions. Szac was lucky: Clefable was in a forgiving mood, and he only used mild language, so he only got a warning. Unfezant gave him a royal chewing for insulting Team Alpha like he did, but I don't care. I agree with Szac. That rusty old bird can suck on a Weedle. Team Alpha's sudden evolution was highly suspicious. I suspect it was one of those Group Evolutions that Clefable warns every guild member about when they first join.
Group Evolutions are rare, strange occurrences that force Pokemon to evolve, no matter how far they are from Luminous Cavern. Most of the time, it makes them go crazy, even murderous. He said that's what happened to Team Rapture once, but he wouldn't say any more. When I asked him about it, he shuddered and walked away.
Kahrik didn't take notice, but there's a shop inside the guild on the second floor, down a hallway on the other side of the stairwell. It's Porygon2's Swap Shop. There, you can take items found in treasure chests and trade them for better items. There's one run by a Croagunk at Wigglytuff's Guild, and I heard his cauldron is connected to Porygon2's. My team and I went over there to talk to Porygon2 about what happened, and we overheard a conversation with Honey and Szac about what happened. She and Szac were sitting in a corner together where they thought no one could hear.
Honey spoke first. "Szac, how do you think Team Alpha evolved so far away from Luminous Cavern?" she asked, her tail swaying back and forth.
Szac looked to the left and right behind him, then leaned forward. "If you ask me, it was a Group Evolution."
The Eevee gasped. "No, not Team Alpha! You really think so?"
"Yeah. There's no other explanation that comes to mind. Did you see how bad that Charmeleon was banged up? I bet they were in a rough battle, and that Group Evolution came along just in time to save their sorry butts." Szac grumbled, crossing his arms.
She shook her head. "Gosh, I hope not. But if that's the case, why didn't they go crazy?"
"And how do you know they didn't?" the Riolu countered. "All we know is they braved a blizzard and saved Team Alpha. Who's to say they didn't kill the Pokemon they were fighting?"
"They couldn't. They wouldn't! Team Alpha swore an oath that they would never do that!" Honey defended them like a devoted fan.
He quietly shook his head. "There's only one other explanation. I heard from a Pokemon that passed through here a few months ago that insanity wasn't the only side effect of Group Evolutions."
Honey gasped. "Then what's the other side effect?"
"Sometimes, during Group Evolutions, things change inside a Pokemon. Those things decide if a Pokemon is good or evil and, in some cases, how easily they can be controlled. That's what Illiaster said, anyhow. He's an Ampharos. He told me that, sometimes, when a Pokemon evolves and they aren't ready, they can be swayed to follow anybody. They lose all judgment."
"That's terrible!" Honey squeaked, shaking her head.
"I know."
"Losing the ability to tell right from wrong? What a horrible thing!"
I couldn't listen anymore. I focused on talking to Porygon2. "So, any news on the Swap Shop, Porygon2?"
"YES. I'VE GOT SOME NEW ITEMS HERE THAT'VE BEEN UPGRADED A LOT. YOU'LL LIKE THIS ONE," he said, pulling out a Cubone Scarf. "THIS ITEM HELPS YOUR THROWS PIERCE THROUGH OTHER OBSTACLES, LIKE ENEMY POKEMON PERHAPS?" Then, he pulled out a Leafy Hat and a Peck Bow. "THIS LEAFY HAT WILL INCREASE VICTORIA'S HP, AND THIS PECK BOW IS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR EKANS. SOMETIMES, IT MAKES IT SO ENEMY POKEMON CAN'T MOVE." He handed them to Victoria and Soul. "YOU CAN KEEP THOSE," he added, spinning around.
"Thanks, Porygon2!" Victoria smiled, putting on the hat.
"ANYTHING TO HELP TEAM OMEGA!"
Then, who should ruin our fun but Unfezant. "Okay, okay, come on now. Bed time." No matter how much we protested, he sent everyone to bed and helped Sentinel lock the guild up for the night.
In our room, Victoria lay on her straw bed, staring out the crystal window at the ocean around us. "Kyuri, I don't want to go to bed so soon."
"I know, Victoria. Who does? But, I suppose we don't have much of a choice."
"Oh, that rotten, smelly bird!" Soul grumbled, curling up on her bed. "Always ruins all the fun, just like Chatot at Wigglytuff's Guild."
I laughed at the comparison, then laid down to go to sleep. "Good night, girls. We'll show that ruddy bird just how good a team we are in the morning."
"Right," the other two responded before yawning and falling asleep. I soon found myself joining them.
^..^ ^..^ ^..^
Somehow, I found myself in the Northern Wastes, a place I'd never been before. It was a frozen land, just like the Southern Wastes, but there was more water. It wasn't as cold, either.
There, in the middle of the half-frozen lake, I saw a wolf-like figure. It stood bravely, it's very presence breathtaking. Then, it leapt over to me, landing on the surface of the water but never sinking more than a centimeter. How could it do that?
Finally, I could see her well enough to describe her. She was a teal creature, with white diamond-shaped patches on her, and a long, flowing violet mane. On her forehead was a blue, hexagon-shaped crystal on her forehead. From behind her came two ribbon-like tails, snow-white, one flowing forward on each side. Her underbelly and muzzle were the same pure color.
"Who are you?" I asked, staring nervously at the majestic Pokemon.
"I am called many names. Humans call me the Aurora Pokemon. Others call me the North Wind. However, my true identity is the legendary beast brought back by Ho-Oh to represent the rains that quenched the flames of the Brass Tower, Suicune." I took note of her long winded-ness and nodded. She then turned her back to me and stared. "Hop on. I have to show you something."
Obviously I wasn't fond of thinking at the moment, because I climbed onto her back without a second thought. The next thing I knew, we were racing across the landscape, dodging trees, running across water, and leaping higher into the Northern Wastes.
By the time we reached our destination, icicles were forming on my skull helmet, and I climbed off slowly, my fingers practically ready to use Ice Punch. Suicune pointed me to a cave sealed up with a sheet of ice and snow. "Inside there is a Pokemon that need your help. You and Team Alpha must come to the Northern Wastes and free him from this prison. He will play an important part in the events to come."
"Before we free him, who is he?" I asked, staring at the entrance. Did Suicune want us to free an evil Pokemon?
The azure wolf looked down at me for a moment, then turned to leave.
"He is called the Great Kehrimohr."
End Chapter 6
Ah, the majestic Suicune leaves us with few questions to ask, and several answered. Okay, maybe not several. Maybe I answered one without it having to be asked. Either way you cut it, I didn't add questions to be answered in this chapter. Yay less work for me! Kehrimohr will make his appearance in the next chapter.
Also, sandshrewtc, I accept your OC despite your lack of an account. Jac, Saber is indeed worthy and will make an eventual appearance. Probably at the same time Illiaster returns to the story.
I leave with one last quote: God bless Command+C.
I'm still accepting OC's for the story. I need 6 more Outlaws at this point, possible recruits for the evil teams. Again, submit them in your reviews! Those who have already submitted OC's, please give others a chance to get in on the action, as it were.
