Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 09: Flare-Bolt Tower
-Somewhere… In the middle of the vast desert of Gianet…
This is Gianet Desert, the vast desert at the southeastern region of Irtha…
Now we are here…
I pick the sand from the ground, put it into my mouth, enjoy the taste of the sand…
Hm?
This sand…
Its taste is different than before…
It means that…
The great chaos is coming…
"Hey! Terrus! What are you doing?! Hurry up!"
A strange human that looks like a prehistoric bird calls me.
I stand up. I am a strange human that looks like a cross between land shark and a dragon.
Yes, I am a Garchomp. My name is Terrus, and that prehistoric bird-like Pokemon is my younger brother…
"Soryl, come here…" I call. Soryl the Aerodactyl is the name of my younger brother.
"What's up, brother? Don't tell me that you want me to taste the sand again?" Soryl says.
He is different from me. He is the Sky Predator, so he likes to wander into the vast sky, but for me, I am the Earthbound Dragon; I like to have my feet on the ground or even eating the soil or sand.
"… No. This sand… Its taste is different from a month ago…" I say.
"Hm? Does it matter?" Soryl asks.
"Yes… This taste… It means that a huge disaster is coming…" I answer.
"Well… I have never heard you say something like this before… So I guess that it is true…" Say the prehistoric Pokemon.
"Let's go, Maxnet is waiting for us." Soryl says.
I follow my younger back to our camp, where an armored Pokemon is waiting for us.
"Where are you going, Earthbound Dragon?" Armored Pokemon asks. His name is Maxnet the Aggron.
We are the mercenary group. Maxnet is the leader of our group, Soryl and I are his underlings.
"… I just discover something…" I say.
"From eating the sand again?" Maxnet says.
"Yes, a huge disaster is coming…" I say.
"Hm… That's the serious issue. But first, we must hurry and go to Irtha Legend College. The principle of that school wants to hire us and we can't miss this!" Maxnet says.
After that, three of us start our journey again…
Dungeon II: Flare-Bolt Tower
This dungeon is different from any dungeon, because this dungeon is separated into two towers, the Flare Tower and the Bolt Tower. Jedi and Ordin is in the Flare Tower while Nardal and Ellisk is in the Bolt Tower. In the Flare Tower, most places in this tower are covered with lava, making it is a hard place for Jedi, while the most places in the Bolt Tower are covered with electrocuted floor, making it is a hard place for Nardal. Both towers are not connected to each other, so Jedi and Ordin will not be able to meet Nardal and Ellisk while in this dungeon unless they are at the top of the tower. Also, both tower's puzzle are connected to each other, such as when Ordin hits the switch, nothing happens in flare Tower, but something happens in the Bolt Tower, so both teams must cooperate in solving the puzzle. In Flare Tower, most puzzles are the fire-base while in the Bolt Tower, most puzzles are the thunder-base.
For the item, there is one item in both towers. Both towers grant the challenger with Clawshot, so both teams can use it. (And when both teams combine into one team, two Clawshots combine into the Double Clawshot.)
Finally, both of them reach the top of Flare-Bolt Tower, where both teams meet each other.
"Find anything?" Nardal asks when he and I finally reunite with Ordin and Jedi at the bridge that links Flare Tower and Bolt Tower on the top of Flare-Bolt Tower.
"No, you do?" Ordin says.
"No." Nardal replies.
"So, let's go back." I say, but then…
"… Who dare to come here and disrupt our slumber?!"
"W… What?!" Jedi says.
"You who come here shall perish!"
Two dragons appear, one of them is a white dragon while another is a black dragon. They start attacking us!
I can't believe in the thing that I see. The white dragon is Reshiram, the Protector of Bisnus Volcano while the Black Dragon is Zekrom, the Protector of Zaston Plain!
Twin Dragons of Truth and Ideal
Reshiram & Zekrom
Reshiram attacks us with the fire type move while Zekrom attacks us with the electric type move.
"What should we do?!" Jedi says.
"We must defeat them!" Ordin says.
"But how?!" Nardal asks.
"Ordin and Nardal! Take care of Reshiram! Jedi! Help me take care of Zekrom!" I say.
"But… How?!" Jedi asks.
I whisper the method to defeat the twin dragons to my friends, once they understand, we start attacking them!
Nardal shoots the Clawshot to Zekrom while Ordin shoots the Clawshot to Reshiram, then they pull Reshiram and Zekrom and make them crash into each other, opening the change to attack the twin dragons.
Finally, after a long battle, 4 students are able to defeat Reshiram and Zekrom.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Reshiram and Zekrom roar in pain before their body turn into the White Stone and Black Stone!
"What?! Stone?!" Ordin says, but then, both stones disappear!
"What's wrong with that?!" Nardal says.
"But first, let's get out of this place and get back to our comrades." Jedi says.
Ordin, Jedi, Nardal and I step into the light portal that appears after we defeat the twin dragons and warp out of the dungeon.
This…
This is the prologue of our adventure…
-Meanwhile, somewhere in this world
Somewhere in this world, unknown location and region, a mysterious demon is staying there…
"…" He says nothing while looking at his swords.
And then…
A Black Stone and A White Stone appear in front of him!
"Hm?" He says and picks both stones. He looks at both stones while trying to figure them out.
"So… Reshiram, Zekrom… You lost…" Mysterious Demon says.
"But not for me. I shall complete my task! No matter what happens!" The Mysterious Demon roars.
