Pokemon Virus Version Chapter 30: WeS & RoYaL
Alright, so this Chapter is clearly based off of my username, WeS RoYaL. The plot of this Chapter just fit the description. Now this Chapter will start out serious, but then will become a generically light hearted tone which I don't believe I written since before Violet City. So please enjoy, and I hope you like.
Location: Seth's Heart
Rose's POV
Going to rest within the heart of my brother for the day became a difficult feat ever since Fear was trapped within here. I did not want Brother to ever put his body- his life on the line like that again, so I set out on a little mission to find Fear, and defeat him once and for all.
"Where might he be?" I asked myself.
As I drifted deeper within what was left of Brother's heart, I came across many drifting shards of connections, dreams, and memories that have been broken like glass in this deep abyss.
"These are part of Brother that have been broken..." I said as I grabbed one of the shards of memory. "Sweet Hearts..." This memory featured Brother receiving a Sweet Heart from a girl named Pheobe.
I then let go of the memory, as it drifted away from me into the deep dark abyss.
"Missingno." I called for the virus, sleeping within Chapel's heart. Chapel's heart originally belonged to Seth, so there was still a small connection of light between the two. The light started growing bigger and bigger, until it was blinding.
When the light faded, I was on a beach, accompanied by Missingno. On the edge of the beach though, stood a very familiar figure: The Incarnation of Pure Evil.
I looked around as I approached Fear's direction. The beach was empty, the waves were frozen in time, and Missingno and I were bewildered.
"What is this place," I asked as Missingno and I floated right next to Fear.
"Sinnoh's finest and most revolutionary city: Sunnyshore." Fear replied, starting at the distant, halted sea. "While trapped within the depths of this boy's heart, I've decided to relive the memories he holds closest to him since I've nothing better to do. And THIS," Fear faced Missingno and I ,"This is the day he left Sunnyshore AND Sinnoh, to chase after Zero and Team Neo Snagem."
"Seth, are you sure this is what you want?" A blonde, spiky haired man asked.
"Volkner," Seth faced the endless sea ,"This is a family matter. Getting you involved with Neo Snagem will only bring you an unwanted burden."
"But Seth, once you leave, there's no turning back," a red afro haired man said with concern.
"That's a risk I'm willing to take then..." Seth said as he turned to Volkner and the red afro haired man. "...I apologize, if I never return to Sunnyshore. You two, were my best and only friends. You took me in when I had nowhere to go, and you've treated me like family. Volkner, Flint..."
"Brother, apologizing?" I said confused. "I have never seen him so sentimental."
"This was the last day Seth ever had his heart," Missingno said.
The world started to rip apart as dark rifts were starting to form.
"When Chapel took Seth's heart, she adopted the moody personality that once belonged to him." Missingno said.
"And when the darkness started shaping his personality, I was created," Fear said as the dark rifts started spreading towards us. "But only when he became pure evil, did I surface."
We soon fell into the dark rift that eventually swallowed the whole beach.
"Brother, Chapel, and I," I said to myself, "We all have a common enemy.
I remember what 23 told me (Chapter 20) - A hint as to who our common enemy is.
"The 'thing' that cloned Zero, Charizard, and your mother; the answer lies in both Missingno AND the shadow pokemon used by Team Neo Snagem," I remembered 23 say.
"Missingno, AND the shadow pokemon?" I said to myself as I turned to fear. "Neo Snagem once controlled you! You know what this 'thing' is!"
"And what of it?" Fear asked, knowing that we wanted an answer.
"Tell us!" I yelled as I grabbed Fear.
Fear gave a smirk, not even attempting to resist.
"Tell us!" I repeated.
"Hmm, I wonder what will happen if I don't?" My grip tightened. "This ISN'T reality, you knwo, so you can't hurt me, nor can you kill me." A dark aura radiated from Fear, which blasted me into another shard of a broken memory. "If you're so desperate, I'll give you one more hint: A darkness that's closest to you, it will keep you from feeling alone, until it surfaces."
Hint 1: The THING lies within Missingno AND the shadow pokemon.
Hint 2: A darkness that's closest to you, it will keep you from feeling alone, until it surfaces.
Answer:?
"Tell us more..." I said as another rift formed, swallowing us into- Into MY memories?! "What?!"
A meadow of roses, and a confrontation between Wes and I is what THIS memory featured.
"One more hint: Find Wes, and he will tell you 'our' common enemy. And when I say 'our' common enemy, I mean an enemy of you, your friends, AND Team Neo Snagem."
Hint 1: The THING lies within Missingno AND the shadow pokemon.
Hint 2: A darkness that's closest to you, it will keep you from feeling alone, until it surfaces.
Hint 3: 'Our' common enemy; Find Wes
Answer: Whether or not we get an answer is up to Wes.
"Enough with the hints!" Missingno yelled.
"Just tell us who cloned Zero!" I added.
"...It's answer you'll have to find out on you own." Fear said as he faced the meadow. "Giving information that would lead Seth to his own premature demise is no apart of my plot." Fear turned to me.
"Seth says that he is no hero. Well, if he won't be the hero, someone will have to, and that 'someone' is Wes."
"Wes, a hero?" I said confused. "But what about Brother? Is he still a 'good guy'?"
Since when has Wes done anything heroic? And is Brother a 'good guy', or is he only in it for his own goals?
Fear chuckled. "So young, you are. If you find the Time Travel pokemon, you'll find out about everything prior to AND on the day of your birth five years ago."
The more time I spend within Seth's heart, the more knowledge I gain from Missingno and Fear. But with that knowledge came new qustions. Like who is the hero and who is the villain? Are Seth, Chapel, and I really villains, or just anti heroes? Three hints and no answers... I believe that answer is what keeps us from knowing what our true roles are. Since Fear, Missingo, and I could not kill each other inside Seth's or Chapel's heart, we developed a tolerance for each other's company. But sometimes, I just needed a moment to myself to think, like now. By myself, I found Seth's memory of the dark meadow of roses, back in Violet City, to think of a common answer for the many question marks I have remaining.
Location: Bloomingvale Town Pokemon Center
Yumi's POV
With my Pokemon Contest tomorrow, I woke up this morning without much of a plan for today, besides rehearsing with Eevee and my recently evolved Fennekin the pokedex called 'Braixen'. Putting on my aqua short furisode, my black thigh high sock, and black boots, I was ready for my day. But I wasn't ready for the sight of a quiet and empty room.
"Hmm," I started toward the door," I wonder where Chapel is?"
Oh well, since Chapel was gone, I started toward Seth's separate room, hoping he's still be here, at least.
"Wake up, sleepyhead!" I yelled as I knocked on Seth's door. "Let's go find Chapel and do something!"
There was no answer at the door. I sighed in annoyance as I stopped knocking on the door.
"Did the really just leave me alone like that again?" I said, saddened as I drooped. "Why do they keep doing this? They know I hate being left alone."
To ease my loneliness, I sent out Eevee to cuddle with in my arms. "You're so soft and cute, you," I said as I started to nuzzle Eevee while heading to the lobby. "We'll go register for the contest together.
It's been quite a while since I lasted walked out to a blue skied sunny day, such as the one that presented itself to me as I walked out the Pokemon Center. I mean, seriously, I know winter is approaching, but the cloudy days have really overstated their welcome. The streets of Bloomingvale were flooded with Sunflora that only added to the town's rich green color. It was weird being the only one wearing cold colors such as black and blue, especially since sticking out like a sore thumb was sure to get unwanted stares. But hey, when you're a girl, that's how you always feel. Now here I am rambling again, I've got to stop doing that!
Location: Bloomingvale Town Contest Hall
"So are you ready for tomorrow?" I asked Eevee as we completed our registration and exited Contest Hall.
Eevee nuzzled me, which I took as a yes to my question. "Vee?" Eevee cried confused as it looked up ahead at a Sunflora- surrounded fountain.
What could possibly gather the attention of all these pokemon?
Eevee hopped out of my arms, approaching the Sunflora-surrounded fountain as I followed. I moved my way through the pit, Eevee doing so at a swifter pace due to it's smaller size. I could see the whole fountain as I passed through the 'front' row. But what was standing on the fountain intrigued me.
Another green and yellow pokemon stood on the edge of the fountain, eyes closed and arms crossed. It looked like a small green version of a Milotic, given it's elegant eel-like appearance.
"Who's that pokemon?" I asked as I took out my powder blue pokedex.
The Pokedex read:
Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokemon: Cool, calm, and collective, Snivy uses photosynthesis with the lead on it's tail. When they are not feeling well, their tails droop.
"It looks elegant and all, but I don't get it," I said as I put away my pokedex. "What's so exciting about standing around all day?"
"Sni?!" Snivy opened it's eyes and glared at me. "Sni Snivy Snivy?!"
"Well, I'm sure theses Sunflora have better things to do with their day." I replied.
Snivy simply stuck it's tongue out and turned it's head away, arms crossed. I swear, this thing is so self absorbed. Eevee then hopped on the edge of the fountain and approached the Snivy.
"Vee eev vee Eevee," Eevee was trying to explain to Snivy something I could not understand. Eevee then held out a paw to Snivy, with a smile. I think Eevee was apologizing on my behalf.
"Sni?" Snivy stared at the paw for a moment. "Vy!" Snivy cried as it used it's tail to slap Eevee into the fountain water.
"Eevee, are you okay?" I asked worried.
Eevee's fur was wet, and he let out a few coughs as he surfaced. "Vee..."
"That wasn't nice!" I yelled annoyed as I turned to Snivy and gave it a glare.
Snivy put on a sad face as it drooped. "Sni Snivy," Snivy held out it's vine using Vine whip. I think it was trying to apologized.
"Now there, is getting along THAT hard?" I asked as I held Snivy's vine, accepting it's apology.
Snivy's sad face quickly turned into a smirk. I was duped as Snivy pulled me into the water. What a dirty trick!
I surfaced from underwater, "Nooo! My hair!" I yelled as I looked as my own reflection through the water. I then turned to see Snivy walking away, Sunflora following. "Wait a minute! Who do you think you are you rotten little thing you?!"
Snivy stopped and looked back at me with a haughty smug face. I swear that rotten little thing thinks it's so cool.
"Of course, it is predictable that a royal pokemon, such as Snivy, WOULD take out a lowly peasant like you," A voice said. "Ah, yes. It is worthy of joining my of priceless jewels."
The female voice appraoched me. The girl and long, lovely blonde hair with huge curls that went to her lower back. She also had one thick curl on each side of her face to cover her ears. She wore a black, sleeveless dress that went down to her hips. The dress also had a maroon outline. She wore long, white gloves and wore black boot with white, knee high socks. Her most compelling feature though, were her vivid deep pink eyes.
"Did you just call me a peasant?!" I yelled as Eevee and I got out the fountain and walked up to the girl.
"Ugh," the girl turned her head away, arms crossed. "I need not waste my breath answering to a lowly peasant like you."
"Why you rotten- you're no better than that Snivy!" I yelled.
"And this is coming from someone who failed to catch Snivy herself," The girl said.
"Huh? So that Snivy's a wild pokemon?" I asked as I put on a curious face.
"Honestly, you didn't even know that. You're more hopeless than I thought," the girl said as she started away from me. "I am off to add that Snivy to my royal collection. Ta ta!"
"Ugh, you don't even know me!" I yelled as I turned my head away and pouted.
"Or maybe she does," A voice said as a familiar maroon haired girl put a hand on my shoulder. "Marion City's Pokemon Contest WAS televised after all, Yumi."
I looked at the girl, and smiled. "Mar-Elizabeth!" I hugged her as I grew excited. "It's been so long!"
I let go of her. "So you knew that girl?"
"Her name is Alice, and I battled her in the Olivine Contest the day you went you went to New Bark Town to start your journey (Chapter 2)."
"So you have a ribbon now?" I asked.
Mary-Elizabeth simply took out her ribbon case and presented to me an aqua ribbon as she started walking. "That Snivy will be mine."
"But I was going to catch it." I whined comedically as I started walking with Mary-Elizabeth.
"So, how's everyone back in Olivine?" I asked.
"Well, as you know, you, Pheobe, and I are all on a journey. But what you did not know is that Prince is traveling with me." Mary-Elizabeth explained.
"Prince?!" I remembered embarrassing myself when I openly confessed my love for him in front of everyone (Chapter 14).
"He is at the Pokemon Center, caring for some of my pokemon," Mary-Elizabeth said. She then closed her eyes and let out a very warm smile. "Him and I have gotten quite attached since starting our journey."
I blushed at thought of what Mary-Elizabeth clearly meant by 'quite attached'. "I'm so happy for you two," I smiled as I drifted into thought. I couldn't get Alice off my mind. "Who is she?" I said out loud as we kept walking.
"Who's who?" Mary-Elizabeth asked with a curious expression.
"You know, Alice." I replied. "Who exactly is she?"
"A girl who comes form a royal family in Camphrier Town, located in the Kalos Region," Mary-Elizabeth said.
"Hmph, that region's full of a bunch of snobs," I said annoyed. "It amazes me how surprised they are to see the rest of the world hates them."
(Yes, I've played Y version. There are alot of stuck up snobs, especially in Lumiose City and other parts of Western Kalos."
"Well, Kalos, as well as Unova and Orre, have no Pokemon Contests. Kanto is what she refers to as 'the boonies', and she once said that males coordinators who look like women dressed as Cacturne creeps her out of traveling to Hoenn," Mary-Elizabeth explained.
(Can you guess the references? A little obvious, but they're there.)
"What about Sinnoh?" I asked.
"Sinnoh was actually her first choice...until she found out Team Neo Snagem destroyed Stark Mountain (Chapter 1) and tried to take over Sunnyshore City(Chapter 9)." Mary-Elizabeth explained.
"So she didn't know Neo Snagem would relocate to Johto?" I asked as I jumped to the conclusion.
"Precisely, and now it's too late for her to turn back." Mary-Elizabeth replied.
I put my hands on my the back of my head as we continued our small talk while in search for Snivy. I was really in need of a new pokemon since I basically haven't caught one since Cherrygrove City. I mean, there's Gligar, but I technically stole it. And to top that off, it's a shadow pokemon that doesn't even listen to me. I don't like my chances of catching Snivy either since Mary-Elibeth, Alice, and I are all competing against each other just for the capture.
"Oh!" Mary-Elizabeth gasped as my attention, pulled from deep within my thoughts, turned to her. "There it is!"
Snivy was was looking down at us from on top of a residential roof. The Sunflora were on the ground with us, looking at the grass. The expression on it's face must be how it got the notorious nickname 'Smugleaf'.
"Hey you!" I yelled as I pointed as the Snivy.
"But Yumi?" Mary-Elizabeth stated that she wanted to capture Snivy.
"I saw it first, so I get first chance," I said as I looked at Mary-Elizabeth. "Or have you forgotten about 'ladies first'?"
Of course, Mary Elizabeth was a lady as well, apparently more lady-like than I, but it was so satisfying to finally use Mary-Elizabeth's perfectionist attitude against her for once. She stared at my haughty smile, "You are correct... But should you fail to capture Snivy, my turn shall follow."
"Alright Eevee, it's your show!" I said as Eevee stepped up.
Snivy looked at the battle-ready duo of Eevee and I, and simply turned it's head away, remaining on the roof.
"WHAT?! Why you!" I yelled.
"It seems you do not suit it's attention," Mary-Elizabeth said.
"Fine then, I'll just have to grab it's attention myself!" I yelled. "Eevee! Use, um-" Could Eevee even reach Snivy? "How did it get on top of the roof?!"
Snivy yawned and started to walk away. "Hey, don't you walk away from me, you rotten little thing you!" Snivy just ignored me.
"And with that, it is my turn," Mary-Elizabeth said with a warm smile.
So my turn was over before it even got started... Well, who knows? Mary-Elizabeth and Alice aren't guaranteed to catch Snivy either. Even though I failed, I stuck around in the chase for Snivy.
Alice's POV
"I mean, honestly, why would anyone repel royalty such as I?" I asked myself. "When I find that Snivy again, I'll be sure to capture the little jewel."
Unable to capture Snivy with my Swanna, I had to chase down the little jewel again. After about an hour of searching, I spotted a pack of Sunflora - the same pack of Sunflora I'm sure was following Snivy all day. As I followed, there was a scent - a very soothing scent that I'm sure Snivy was following.
The scent led Snivy and the pack of Sunflora to a battlefield location just behind the Pokemon Center. On the battlefield featured a trainer with a downed Gible who just lost a battle. The trainer was holding a Chikorita, and looked to be scolding Gible for it's loss until Snivy jumped onto his shoulder, greeting the Chikorita.
"Who are you?" The trainer asked flatly, without much reaction or emotion.
Wait a minute, was Snivy attracted to the scent from that Chikorita's pedal? What if they become friends and HE captures Snivy?
"No!" I ran over to the boy and attempted to grab Snivy, but accidentally tripped, knocking over the trainer and his Chikorita, and Snivy as well. "Er." I was annoyed as I looked at the trainer.
"Honestly, a lowly peaasant like you should- shou-u-uh..." He opened his eyes, which were a pretty navy blue color. "-Um, your eyes..." Hi eyes had stricken me with a warm feeling.
"Seth!" A dirty blonde haired, female Pokemon Ranger ran over to the boy, along with Gible "Are you okay?"
I got up and walked over to the blue eyed trainer. "My sincerest apologies, but may I have the opportunity to capture Snivy?" I asked as I offered a hand to this 'Seth'.
He did not take my hand as he helped himself up. "Whatever," he said coldly as he, Gible, and the Pokemon Ranger walked off the battlefield to observe my battle with the Snivy.
Wow, he's worse than me, but those eyes... Those blue eyes had a red passion in them. Maybe because he was upset with Gible. I absolutely love guys with passion...
Anyways, Snivy didn't even try to flee this time. It was just staring at Chikorita.
"Snivy, are you ready?" I asked.
Snivy nodded it winked and waved at Chikorita.
"Alright, you're the one!" I said as I threw the pokeball.
To Be Continued...
Anyways, if anyone can guess the correct answer to the three hints Rose got in the first half of the chapter, congrats because you've just figured out who this story's main antagonist is.
So, it's pretty obvious that Snivy is a male that has a little 'thing' for the female Chikorita. I'm not sure when Volkner and Flint will be back, but possibly when Seth goes back to Sinnoh. I mean, IF Seth goes back to Sinnoh. So now I might as well post each character's party since I haven't done that yet, so here. And no that I rarely use level up mechanics or nicknames. I mean, I like to at least make the pokemon less complicated than the plot is.
