Loading Celetris Hospital
Kooper wakes up suddenly in a hospital nest shaky and tired "AHHH!"
"AHHH- Wait, you're finally awake, Kooper!"
"Oh my God You always were real in my heart, Aurafu" Kooper gets up to try to hug Aurafu but then trips over his iv pole.
"Kooper down!" Aurafu pulls him up "You have been in this hospital for about a week now, Kooper when I was with Lucy, Latias rushed over to us saying that you lost it or something like you were saying everything was a dream, that you thought we were just a part of your imagination running around like crazy."
"So everything I saw was a hallucination!? I saw Rena, I saw a Wolf guy with some Final Fantasy sword! It was some crazy s**t- oops sorry for cursing- no! I wanna go home I don't wanna go to that hell again!"
Aurafu sets Kooper back on the nest "Settle down, son! Me and everyone else is still here to keep you safe. And on the bright side, we're now an official Rescue Team!" He hands Kooper his rescue team badge.
"The badge is shaped like a Koopa shell!?"
"We made it a custom design to surprise you when you woke up and there are many more surprises for you we have for you."
"I like surprises" Kooper squints his eyes while smirking.
Aurafu sighs Kooper out of the Hospital and walks him out of there.
"This is where I have to leave now, Kooper. Celetris does not have any Legendary's so it's a big deal to everyone when I and Latias showed up and all of them are following us like we're celebrities."
"Where is Latias by the way?"
"I have not seen her in a few days, so you might want to go and find Lucy over at the police station here" Aurafu then hands Kooper a map of Celetris "Good luck finding her" he then runs away he sees other Pokemon coming after him.
"Wait! don't leave me-" The Pokemon going after Aurafu ran over and flatten Kooper on the ground.
"Hey! I was coming to say... Aw dammit, he's gone..." Kresin the Zoroark huffed, out of breath. "Next time, Volstro's doing the chasing..."
"All of you all stop overthrowing me!?" Lucy rushes into the scene "I am his bodyguard!"
Kresin grunted, catching his breath. "He's legendary, I'd be surprised if they didn't chase after him."
"But hold on, hold on, hold on" Lucy holds Kooper up "this kid is back".
"I'm a piece of Paper Mario!"
"...Kid, most Pokemon here don't even know Paper Mario exists."
"Things have been more interesting ever since we were introduced to that technology stuff"
"Oh. C'mon, let's get back to the house. Doesn't seem like a good idea to keep after Aurafu" Kresin turned around, and started heading back home.
"Don't leave me! I need some help. We live together now, Kresin but we never really got to know each other."
"Mainly 'cause you got sick right as you moved in" Nevertheless, Kresin returned to Kooper's side.
"I have no idea what even happened I like tripped super balls."
Kresin chuckled. "C'mon, little guy, before you get trampled again."
Kooper held his paw, as he struggled to walk "I feel so special now after you called me little guy."
"I mean, you are."
"I am special?"
"Course," Kresin grinned. "Everyone is, in their way. I'm sure you'll see what I mean soon."
"You're my new SS tier friend" Kooper hugs Kresin.
After some time, Kresin brought Kooper back to the house. Volstro was climbing a nearby tree, attempting to reach a giggling Glaceon.
"Hey, Volstro you stuck up that tree?" Kooper stager's towards the tree "You need help getting down?"
"No thanks! Glacie dared me to climb this tree!" Volstro tried again, sliding back down the trunk, growing before leaping again.
"Take at how high I can get!" Kooper jumped up to the branch and swung on it.
Glacie ignored him, extending a small icicle to Volstro. "You suuuure you don't want help?"
Kooper's hands fall out of his sockets and he falls to the ground before The Zoroark caught him, a tad confused about the scene unfolding in front of him.
A triumphant "Ha!" came from above as Volstro finally got up to Glacie's branch.
"I would give a round of applause if I still had my hands."
"...Never seen a desert lizard successfully climb a tree. Well done, little guy!"
"Now can you get back down?" Glacie giggles, jumping off.
"...HELP!"
Kooper charges at the tree and Volstro falls on his head, before suddenly another Pokemon flying around in the air frantically approaches them all.
You're finally back, Kooper! I am so glad you're ok! "Latias smiles" I have a little Cloak on right now because I don't want anyone to see me, you probably know what happened to Aurafu.
Volstro slowly picked himself up. "Umm... A bunch of Pokemon went chasing after him... I stayed out because..."
"I'm not putting you in danger again" Glacie stated.
"It's ok, I had someone that has been protecting me."
"Hey! what's crackling, bitches! you did not expect to see me again?" Dry Bones makes a surprising appearance before he jumped off Latias back.
"DRY BONES!?" Kooper yells while his eyes popped out of his sockets.
"Coulda asked me..." Volstro grumbled under his breath, before getting smacked by Glacie's tail.
"What's the matter, Koops? still a little bent out of shape?"
"Don't ever call me Koops again" Kooper's eye twitches.
"So what's the deal between you two? Bones steal your heart, or?"
"I was scared when Kooper was knocked out and when I was hiding away from the other Pokemon, Dry Bones found me"
"They do tend to act unreasonably... At least some Pokemon have manners."
"As odd he might be sometimes, I think Dry Bones pretty nice" Latias hugs him "just like Kooper, right?"
"You don't have enough memory in the memory card," Kooper said with a blank stare.
"...Do we have to take him back?" Kresin worried.
"Well let's knock on the door and see if someone opens it" Dry Bones knocks on Kooper's head "Kooper Shellcreeper, are you operational?"
"DON'T Ever say my last name again!" Kooper snaps.
"Umm... You have the last name...?" V
."Shellcreepers are green-shelled turtles that first appeared in the Mario Bros. arcade game. They are the first turtle enemies to appear in a Mario game, making them the conceptual ancestors of the Koopa Troopas, which appeared two years later in Super Mario Bros."
"Ok, Super Mario Wiki what else do you got to say!?" Kooper gets into Dry Bone's face.
"Don't underestimate me! I am the loremaster! I know everything about Celetis" Dry Bones takes out a book and puts on reading glasses.
"The continent of Celestris is a sort of hot spot for unusual activity. No one is entirely sure why, but there is a sort of wives' tale passed down among the locals that go like this.
A long time ago, the great legendaries Dialga and Palkia watched over the land of Celestris, keeping the flow of time and the barriers of space intact. But after a golden Pyroar thief stole a precious gem from the two lords, they punished her by condemning the entire land, turning their watchful eyes away from Celestris, and allowing time and space to bend and warp. Since then, the residents of the continent have adopted, and they say the only way to restore the land would be to find the golden Pyroar and return the stolen gem to its rightful place. Alas, though, as far as anyone can tell, this is no more than a fairytale, and not even the slightest lead on the mythical thief has ever been found."
"So you know the famous legend. Whoopdee doo."
"Off-topic but Is it me or is it kinda creepy that were all Video Game character's and we never really bring up that fact?"
"Then explain this. Paper Mario came out 21 years ago as of now and you're somehow not over the age of 20" Dry Bones pulls out Kooper's copy of the game "this is a question that is one big hole."
Kooper collapses to the ground having a panic attack.
Latias picks up Kooper in concern "Something or someone has broken him we can't ignore this."
Glacie nods "We can take him to Lolanes!"
"He defiantly has to go back to the Hospital if we can't say what he's like."
"He defiantly has to go back to the Hospital," Dry Bones thinks to himself.
"And you better shut your mouth" Kooper jumps out Latias arms "before I send you six feet under!"
"Both of you are going to shut it!" Kresin yelled.
"I'm so sorry about him today. Come on, Dry bones" Latias grabs his hand "we disturbed you guys enough today."
"You're fine, it's just that... boner over there is stealing your heart, Latias!"
"And you're jealous of that."
"He has indeed stolen my heart, Kooper but it was hard being here without my older brother and Dry Bones was the only one that was there for me. Plus I know you really like me and we can still be friends, however, I am in a relationship now with Bones."
"...Ill just go home now" Kooper walks the wrong way and off the Mountain, so he just keeps walking in the air until he noticed "... AHHHHH!" he then falls and lands in a thorny bush.
Down the Mountain, Noiwave and Lucy were walking together near where Kooper's had fallen.
"You ain't that bad as I thought you were going to be, Lucy" Noiwave rested her wing around Lucy " "You always looked pissed off all the time and I get that because we both hate our jobs. Maybe I should join the Universal Rescue Team I had been on like two adventures with them, but I never committed to the job."
Suddenly, Kooper walks out of the bush all bloody while the other two were walking past it "Don't ask."
"I knew that screaming was from you I thought it was the screaming in my mind again" Lucy freezes up for a second before snapping out of it "u-umm anyways! Why were you so shaken up to the point you wanted to end it all?"
"I did not want to die! It's gonna take a lot more than I fall like that to kill me! I felt like I just got a little friend-zoned by Latias and I made a fool out of myself!"
"You only knew her for only a few hours before you went insane in the membrane, Kooper. She must have low standards if she is dating a walking corpse." Lucy shrugs.
"...That's... that's an eye-opener. I owe you one!" Kooper dashes away ecstatic.
"Hold on there, buster!" Noiwave grabs Kooper by his shell with her claw "We have to clean all that blood off of you before it spills ever were."
