Seven – Depths of a City
They reach the city after walking about 15 minutes in the forest. They aren't exactly on the sidewalk, but behind the sidewalk, where the forest starts in one street. They look around, seeing the people walk past by them. Some people see them as they walk by, some just don't care about them. There are so many people around the city they have never seen; some of them in suits, some of them in regular clothing, and some in unnatural clothing.
Both C and Ava look up; they see large buildings that seem to never stop. Most of the buildings were grey from cement. Some of the buildings are steel made; some are sort of yellowish. All buildings seen at the view are at least 10 floors high.
They step in the sidewalk, and walk to the right. About half of the citizens of the city walked in the same direction. They see that the one turn direction of the sidewalk is not even close; not even half way there.
"We have to see what city we are in right now," said C to Ava, in a low voice.
"How do we do that?" Ava asked.
"We may have to walk within the city," C answered.
"Should I really be out here?" C looks around at the people; he sees that some people have Pokémon out in the city.
"Yeah; if other people have their Pokémon out in the city, I'm guessing you can be out here to." They stop at an intersection. About 5 other people stop at the same intersection, minding their own business.
"What do you mean by 'their Pokémon'?" Ava asked.
"Oh, uh…you remember the Poké Ball thing I told you about?"
"Yeah…"
"It involves that. It kinda involves that…that's all I really know. I'll try to find out more on that."
"Okay…" The light on the other side turns from the orange hand to a white walking man. The group walks across the street as C and Ava see the cars waiting pass by. They eventually reach to the other side of the street. They keep walking forward. "So what can we find in a city?"
"You know; I don't know. Let's see what we can find."
They walk around the city, finding many shops in the street they are walking in: food stores, clothing stores, electronic stores.
"I wish I could buy something…" C says.
"Why don't you?" Ava asks.
"Because I don't have any money…"
"Oh…how can you get money?"
"There are several ways…but nothing would work out."
"Why not?"
"I'm dead."
"Oh…" They stop at a newspaper box, where there are several papers in the box. C looks at the right info wall; it says that the papers are free. C takes on out and looks at the paper.
The paper says that it is local to the city. It gives out the date of the day. It also gives the table of contents of what is in the newspaper. About half of it shows the things that have supposedly happened within the city the past weekend. One thing catches his attention. It was one of the subjects in the table of contents: Page B3. The B Section standing for the major news and superstitions that have been recently released from the past 7 days. He turns to the page.
C looks around the page to find what he was looking for. He finds the section that caught his attention. He reads it to himself.
This is what the article said:
"Resurrection Really Holds Truth? Investigation on the Run
By: (name will be hidden)
Rumors of supernatural things, to humans of course, that appear on the news can not only annoy people and viewers, it can also be a huge disturbance and interference with the daily news. People can research supernatural things on their own time, with no one that can argue with them; saying they can or cannot believe. However, there's one thing that they can believe.
Resurrection has been said to be real by some citizens of Lenvry. The grave of C-(censored) (Last name censored) has been seen to be dug up, the opening of the coffin made into debris; the soil that was dug up, in horrible condition; almost as if the soil has aged. The base of the coffin was not dug up. When the base was dug up by investigators, the trace it left in the soil seemed to only show one coffin mark on it; the time when the coffin was left there. There also seemed to be footsteps, from investigators: hard to say if it were bones or actual feet, walking away from the scene.
For investigators, it was hard to say if a skeleton has walked out of the coffin, or if it was a body that has been coming out of the coffin, seeing that the death of (Last name censored) about 7 years ago.
Some citizens say that this was a hoax, a hoax for those who tend to easily believe in supernatural things.
"There are some people who tend to believe everything they see," says one citizen, standing in front of the Luciform Costume and Design Store. "This may be a hoax; if it is, like anything else, except for the ghost Pokémon pulling people's legs, then it will lose some people's hope, and raise some laughter for others. Am I done here? I just want to go to Luciform."
This incident has brought up a lot of discussion and debate on what has been happening in (Last name censored)'s coffin. No official result has been released yet; but in the meantime, people can say all they want about the "resurrection" incident.
C puts back the papers in the box; not believing what has happened. "Some people might know…" C finally said.
"Know what?" Ava asked.
"They might know about me getting out of the coffin."
"You were in a coffin?"
"Yeah…The only good thing that came out of this is that we now know what city we're in."
"What's this city called?"
"It's called Lenvry."
"Okay…what are we gonna do here in Lenvry?"
"I may need to change my clothing; I feel a little…noticeable."
"So where do we have to go to change?"
C thought about it for a minute, then said, "We'll look around for a minute; see what we can find."
The name of C will be censored until correct timing on the moment, if any. If not, then sorry.
