Pokemon Virus Version Chapter 52: To Live and Endless Life Forever
Okay people, NOW I apologize for the extended absence. The internet to my PC is down indefinitely, but I'm willing to work my way around that. Now this will be the first of quite a few consecutive Chapel Chapters I have planned out so that I can repackage Chapel into sort of a main hero. So enjoy.
Location: Virtual Oblivion
Chapel's POV
"This place is a Virtual Oblivion..." I said to myself while wandering the black and blue forest that surrounded me. "Mawile, Missingno, Chime...I wonder where they are?"
A talking PC that could transport us to this virtual world? Am I dreaming?
"Well I guess I should continue to look for everybody." I said to myself as I continued to wander aimlessly.
Later...
I was completely unaware of the time I had spent wandering this virtual oblivion, but I knew that I had been here for awhile. Trees, trees, and more trees. It seemed as if this path was not going to stop anytime soon. But while on my way, I had encountered something very odd.
"Magnemite."
"Magna Magneton."
"Voltorb!"
"Pory-Porygon!"
It was a group of pokemon that seemed to be passing by. Of course, that's what is seemed. But these pokemon, Magnemite and Magneton, Voltorb and Electrode, Porygon...Rather that their normal color schemes, they were all shades of blue. Magnemite and Magneton were a steel blue color. Voltorb's and Electrode's red Pokeball'd designs were solid blue. And Porygon was a mix of blue and an amethyst color. There were more than one of each pokemon, and they all seemed to be traveling in some sort of formation.
"Um, hey!" Maybe this group of pokemon could tell me what I could do, and where I had to go.
"Magne Magnemite." The formation of pokkemon stopped, and I was approached by a Magnemite as I captured the group's attention.
I already knew that I couldn't talk to pokemon, but I had to at least give it a try. "Do you guys know where we are?" I asked.
"Magnemite."
"Gon Porygon."
"Trode, Electrode!"
"Well, at least I tried..." I said to myself as I crossed my arms.
"Foolish human. You do not 'do' anything, nor do you go anywhere. You are trapped with me and these pokemon in this virtual oblivion for eternity." It was the voice of the PC speaking to me...from the sky? "Soon, you and the other users trapped here will become one with the Pokemon Storage System. And when that time comes there will be no way out for you."
"Pokemon Storage System?" I said confused. "Wait, so this virtual oblivion we're in is actually the Pokemon Storage System?"
"Indeed." The PC answered.
"Why? Why are you doing this?!" I asked.
"It is pnishment for misusuing the PC AND abandoning the PC withing the Pokemon Center. Mashing random buttons...THAT pokemon will surely be dealt more severely than you and the others."
The PC was talking about Mawile striking the keyboard with Power-Up Punch (Chapter 51). "No, if you touch Mawile in even the slightest, I'll-"
"-You'll what?" The PC started. "I shall do whatever I please as long as I govern this virtual world. But just to save you the struggle..."
The eyes of Magnemite, Magneton, Voltorb, Electrode, and Porygon all started glowing a light blue, and they all exited their formation and each enterred battle stances. What's more, is when they all spread out, I layed my eyes on something I never realized their formation was hiding until now. That 'something' was a familiar friend.
"Chime!" I called out.
"Mmm..." Chime had been paralyzed and was not able to move.
"Prepare to join your friend on the way to oblivion! Now my pokemon, attack!" The PC had called for all the pokemon to capture me.
"Porygon!" Leading the charge was the blue Porygon who started after me. "Gon!" A trianguar shaped attack was launched at me.
"Whoa!" I screamed as I quickly rolled out of the way, narrowly avoiding the triangular shaped attack.
"Magnemite!"
"Magneton!" Both Magneton and Magnemite launched Thunder Waves at me, but their attempts to paralyze me failed when I ran behind one of the blue forest's black trees.
"Show yourself, human!" The PC called.
"Hmph, maybe a little decoy will distract them while I rescue Chime," I said to myself as I took out a pokeball. "Ursaring!"
"Hmm..." As soon as Ursaring was releasing from his pokeball, he slowly opened his eyes and calmly rose to his feet. "Urr."
All I did was motion for Ursaring to look past the black tree we were hiding behind, to the approaching Magnemite and a captive Chime. "You've got my back?"
"Ur!" Ursaring nodded in agreement as he charged toward Magnemite, Magneton, and Porygon with both of his hands cloaked in a Hammer Arm aura, while I came back out from the other side of the tree trying to close in on Chime as fast as I could.
"Raaang!"
"Mag-mite!" What the?! Magnemite and the other pokemon just pixilated through Urasring's repeated Hammer Arms.
"Pitiful alien..." The PC said as Magnemite and Magneton proceeded to strike Ursaring with Thunder Wave.
"Raaarrr!" At first, Ursaring seemed quite overwhelmed by the paralysis, that was until his Guts ability was activated.
As long as those pokemon have the ability to pixilate through Ursaring's attacks, Guts won't help us one bit.
."Raaaww-uh..." Ursaring was struck from behing by a triangular shaped attack launched by Porygon. Ursaring then feel to the ground, but was still conscious.
"Ursaring, return!" I hurried to recall Ursaring right before hopping over the guarding Voltorb and Electrode to grab a paralyzed Chime as start running away from the group of attacking pokemon as fast as I could.
"Ch-Chime?" Chime slowly opened his eyes to see me carrying hime in my arms.
"Don't worry , Chime. I'm here for you now!" I said as I cracked a slight smile, despite the fleeing situation I was currently in.
"It is pointless to try and escape, human." The PC said as the group of Pokemon all started chasing me.
The chase was awfully 'black and white', and the game of cat and mouse would continue until I had reached the edge of the blue forest.
"Chime!" Chime and I started to panic once I had untintentionally ran off the forest edge, and started plummeting down a virtual cliff.
"Nooo!" Were we going to fall to our death? Or were we going to drift down an endless abyss for all eternity. I honestly had no idea, because whatever lied beyond the edge of the blue forest was unknown to me. I held Chime tight and closed my eyed as I fell for what seemed to be like a slow forever to me. Just where will fate take me?
"...Now enterring the Pokemon Storage System's Box 2..."
",,,Box 2?"
"Chime! Chimecho!"
"Ngh..." I slowly opened my eyed to see that we had gotten away from the group of pokemon. "Box 2?" I said to myself again as I scanned this 'Box 2'.
Box 2 was a metropolis city with black bricked grounding. The building and skyscrapers were all black with a blue outlining and blue lights. The sky was also black. But this time there was no blue vortex like there was in the sky of the blue forest. Only a single blue moon lit up the night sky.
"It's cold..." I said to myself as Chimea nd I cuddled up to each other. "We need to find Missingno and Mawile. And with there being more than one box in the storage system, our search may be THAT much more difficult."
More blue colored pokemon were seen as Chime and I wandered throughout the metroplolis. Electaabuzz, Jolteon, Alakazam, and Hitmonlee wandered the streets. While Vapreon, Poliwrath, and Golduck were in a few of the black watered fountains I believed were used for decor.
Chime and I had stopped right in front of a skyscraper to rest for a few minutes.
"Hmm, the PC hasn't tried to capture us since escaping the dark forest." I said to Chime. "Did something happen?"
My stay in this virtual oblivion was beginning to feel more like an endless walk inside the darkness. I guess the sun just never rises inside the Pokemon Storage System. A life where a new day is never born...is THIS what lies ahead for me? Is there a way out of here? What will become of Seth without me or Yumi to teach him the difference between right and wrong? Will any of my questions come with answers.
"Wile! Mawile!"
"Eee!"
"Huh?" They were distant cries of pokemon who weren't too far away. Although one of those cries I could've sworn was the criy of- "Come on!" I called for Chime to follow me as we search for where the criies came from.
"Wiillle!"
"Eeee..Spending the next few minutes running and passing by pokemon such as Arbok, Mr. Mime, Growlithe, and Starmie, Chime and I had stopped when we saw-
"E-e-ee..." An injured, grey furred Eevee was lying right next to a dim street light.
"Oh my!" I exclaimed as I approached the Eevee. "Here." I took aout a Sitrus Berry that I found earlier when we were still in Ecruteak's Pokemon Center.
"..." The grey furred Eevee slowly turned to me and didn't hesitate to eat the Sitrus Berry I offered. Once it did eat the berry, it immediately hopped up and started looking up in the sky, at the tallest skysraper in the metropolis city.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Eevee looked back at me before proceeding to take half a step in the direction of the skyscraper, and facing me once more. "Vee! Vee!"
"Do you want for me to follow you?" I ased.
Eevee gave me a single nod, and proceeded to continue as Chime and I followed.
Maybe this Eevee could lead me to Mawile or Missingno... I thought to myself as my mind began to wander. I could've sworn I heard Mawile's cry along with Eevee's. Where IS Mawile? And why was this Eevee badly injured? Where is the PC, and why has it stopped following me?
"Wiiilllle! Ma-wile!"
"There it is again, Mawile's voice." It took a minute of thinking for me to realize what was going on, and I looked at an Eevee just a few feet ahead. "Eevee, are you leading me to Mawile?"
"Vee." Eevee nodded without turning to Chime and I.
"So you know Mawile." I started. "Are the two of you friends or something?"
Eevee gave me the same reply.
Putting my hand on my chin... "So I find an injured Eevee who just so happens to be looking for our friend in Mawile." I started. "That must mean Mawile might've been attacked too."
Eevee nodded, comfirming that I was correct about the two.
"I think I know who attacked you guys." I said as I stared in to the black sky. "The PC must have captured Mawile. It already captured Chime, whom I rescued. And the PC also tried to capture me in a failed attempt. And Mssingno? I still don't know."
Passing building after building, Eevee, Chime, and I had finally reached the door of the city's tallest skyscraper. The three of us all looked at the skyscraper's top before looking back at each other.
"Let's go." I said to Eevee and Chime.
"Wile! Wihahaaile!"
"Huh, Mawile?" Her cry was coming from behind us. And apparently we beat her to the skyscraper because we weren't even in the building yet.
"Mawile!" I turned around to see a forcibly restrained Mawile as she struggled and was calling out to me. She was being held by two blue Porygon.
"It appears that a few other users will be joining this 'Mawile' in her punishment." It was the voice of the PC, only this time the voice was nearby.
"Who are you? WHERE are you?" I asked. "Show yourself and stop hiding!"
"Hmm. I believe that the time is right to reveal myself to you users." The PC said as it started to ascend from behind Mawile, revealing itself to be-
-I gasped. "Missingno?"
"Indeed I am." The PC answered.
Missingno is the PC? "But how? You were transported to this virtual oblivion like us." I said.
"There's alot about me you don't know." The PC Missingno started.
"Vee?" The Eevee said confused.
"While I AM Missingno, I am NOT the Missingno that was transported to this place." The PC answered. "Ever since I was derezzed, I've wandered and governed this virtual oblivion for what seems like an eternity."
"Wait a minute, you must be the Missingno Bill was talking about in his journal(Chapter 51)," I said. "And if MY Missingno has been with me for the last five years, then there must be two Missingnos."
"Quite observant, User. But I am afraid you are not one hundred percent correct, for I am only half of Missingno, while your Missingno is the second half. Unfortunately that is all I know. I honestly do not have much of any memory of life after I was derezzed, up until the point where you Users logged on as User Bill(Chapter 51)." The PC explained.
What the PC is saying...it actually makes sense to me. While this PC Missingno has no memory of after it what derezzed, my Missingno has no memory of before he was derezzed. They both are only half of a whole Missingno.
"My servants, deliver these users to their prisons!" Pc Missingno said as he was getting back to business.
"Vee?!"
"Prisons?!" I said to myself before I was seized by two more blue Porygon. "Hey!"
Maybe THIS Missingno knows where Celebi is. Maybe he knows our true enemy. Maybe he knows how to defeat Neo Snagem for good, and saving all of Johto.
"I-I still have questions!" I yelled as I was trying to struggle away from the two Porygon. "Where's the other Missingno? MY Missingno?"
"Why should I give you humans what you never gave me?I was never given any answers, or second chances...all you humans are the same!" Pc Missingno said with his back turned.
"Missingno, what Bill did back then, it gave you your own virtual world. You actually control more of your world now than when you were just waiting for Red and Bill in a storage box in the real world. You HAVE been given a second chance. A second, better chance. Does having everything really mean nothing to you?"
"What sense does it make to have everything and nothing at the same time?" PC Missingno asked as he turned around and gave me a very cold, empty stare. "You don't know what it's like to be forgotten. To have something very close to you, a life of sorts, taken away from you. To know that you just can't free yourself from the prison called Life, because you are not dead, nor are you alive. To live an endless life forever, in a virtual oblivion."
"Missingno..."
"I just want to go home to the real world, with you users." PC Missingno said as hei inched closer to me. "But like I said: My life has basically been taken away from me...by humans." PC Missingno winced just by saying the word humans.
It must be hard, living endlessly with the knowledge that a life has been taken away from you. I could somehow relate to PC Missingno. The day my mother Chiyo had been taken away from me, and I couldn't stop crying that day, because crying was the only thing I could do. The thought of an unfinished life, and a future where you may never be loved again...
"You users are lucky." PC Missingno said.
"Lucky?" I said confused.
"You users have not yet been infected by the blue virus that keeps you bound to this virtual oblivion," The PC replied. "Nor has that Eevee of yours, who was only stored by AFTER me and the original storage system's 139 other pokemon were derezzzed.
"Wait, so we still have a chance to return to the real world?" I asked.
"Hmph, not so." The PC answered. "I plan on having you users imprisoned until you have all been infected by the virus. You'll all glow that shades of blue that is uniformed here. And you'll be trapped here for eternity like me."
I was still thinking about how we still have a chance to return to the real world (Yes, I was ignoring the PC). 'We' includes my Missingno. THAT gave me an idea.
"PC Missingno, I think I have an idea, how to free you from this virtual oblivion at long last."
To Be Continued...
So like I said, there are plenty of Chapel chapters to come, followed by a string of Seth chapters, and even a few Wes chapters after that. I've even planned a few Noah chapters to reestablish him as a major character. I've also been drawing my characters, and I thinking about changing the designs of a few characters that include Seth, Noah, Pheobe, Alice, and Kurayami aka Commander 03 of Neo Snagem.
And about this chapter, Yes, Chapel asks ALOT of questions, which even annoys me, and I write the story. But hey, that's what happens when there's only two beings in a chapter that are able to talk. And if you haven't noticed yet, all the infected pokemon that is in the PC are generation one pokemon all captured by Red himself. The only pokemon who are not in the Storage System are Pikachu, the Kanto starters, Red's Eevee, and Snorlax, all of whom are in Red's party when you battle him at Mt. Silver (Red DID have an Espeon for a short time in the manga). And I'll admit it, gen one isn't my favorite gen, and I sometimes get annoyed by genwunners(only some). Hell, my first game was Pokemon Crystal Version, and THAT isn't even my favorite Pokemon game. And no, gen 3 isn't my favorite either (There really was no post game stuff in Ruby and Sapphire at ALL), although I know darn well I'll be playing ORAS. I don't know which version I'll get yet. The game I choose will be based entirely off of version exclusives. Gen 4 had Paul, who is probably my favorite Pokemon character. But they also had Dawn, who WAS my least favorite character up until the second half of Galactic Battles when she at least started to get respectable Pokemon.
IDK about Gens 5 and 6. Gen 5 gets alot of hate, although they did introduce Smugleaf, Chandelure, Hydreigon, Conkeldurr, and N. Gen 6 was too freakin' easy. Oh, and in my opinion, Team Flare was such a disappointment compared to Team Plasma. But I still have to give it to gen 6. They introduced Mega Evolution AND they have a few pokemon who have already made it near the top of my favorites list. And also, I have VERY high hopes for Ash's Kalos party when they're fully evolved.
So enough of my little rant. Be sure to review and stay tuned for next chapter.
Also, what is your favorite Pokemon? What is your favorite Pokemon Generation?
