i can offer nothing, still you won't let go

An involuntary shudder crawled down Locke’s spine at Bill Anderson ’s description of religion as a weapon. He’d thought his creepy pastor persona was just a bit the when they met, but now it was clear the guy was kinda just like that.

He mentally filed away the advice about Pain Split, however. That seemed like a useful distinction in an emergency. Hopefully there wouldn’t be any of those today though! Ha ha!

The group began disappearing one-by-one into the formerly-secret entrance, and but a soft pressure on Locke’s legs momentarily stopped him from following. Shi-Shi was standing between himself and the stairs, glaring down at the darkness as though staring down some hidden enemy. But everyone else was already ahead, in too deep beneath the earth and their own curiosity to be called back out.

Locke swallowed down his apprehension, and followed the group into the abyss.

His insides curled as the sky was quickly replaced with crumbling earth and stone. Every step deeper underground took him further away from the open air, suffocating him in narrow halls and dirt. Even the beautiful, golden room the group found themselves in still felt like a gilded cage.

Shi-Shi didn’t look like she was feeling much better than her trainer did about being down here. The Absol was glancing around suspiciously, trying to track whatever invisible threat she’d sensed before. Suddenly she stiffened, growling at the western room.

Everything seemed to happen simultaneously far, far too quickly and in painfully slow motion. Locke could barely register what Pokémon was attacking them, if it was even a Pokémon at all, or how it could use so many moves in such impossibly-quick succession. The panic was seeping in, freezing their blood, their muscles, their lungs, they couldn’t breathe-

It was Eris Halla ’s limp form falling from the beast’s jaws that finally snaped them into action. “Doki-Doki-!” Locke couldn’t quite choke out the order, but the Audino didn’t need it, the Healer already rushing to the girl’s side. He raised his hands to start helping with her wounds, but it was then that the Psychic energy in the room coalesced and turned back on the group.

Detecting the danger, Shi-Shi quickly pushed herself between Eris and whatever threat the light heralded, protecting her from further injury. Doki-Doki hesitated, Psychic power of his own humming in his hands, and looked back to his trainer for instruction.

Do they risk damaging reality further to save one girl?

It wasn’t even a question. Locke gave a quick nod, which their Pokémon returned before releasing the Heal Pulse into Eris’ wounds. The group would just have to figure out the rest.

Speaking of, there were still several people in danger around them. Locke turned to Loony-Loony, hoping his Phantom Force could start helping them escape, but the Drifblim was cowering behind his comically-smaller trainer.

They couldn’t blame him, not when their own legs rebelled against them, refusing to bring them closer to the fray to do something actually useful. But even if they couldn’t move forward, Locke resolved, they wouldn’t run away either.

Steeling their nerves, they picked up one of the several books scattered around the room, and hurled it at the monster to draw its attention. “H-Hey! Pick on somebody else!”

More of their little organization, no pun intended, began to arrive. Cardamom Bliss made an appearance. While Hideo Kino seemed distracted for a moment by Melody Miro , the also recently arrived Eris Halla seemed to think it was odd the lot of them kept meeting up by coincidence. Was anything a coincidence anymore? Even Hideo didn't seem to think so.
[break][break]
''We can't escape our fates,'' he said in agreement with the younger trainer, but there was a notable edge to his syllables, spoken as if it were a truth he hated. Kaida Adachi pulls his thoughts from such frustrations by offering her protection. While otherwise admirable, Andy could not help but wonder if she was paying attention to their words.
[break][break]
If fate decreed they died, they died.
[break][break]
Rather than argue, a distinct voice reaching the Galarian's ears has him swivel his head to see Katherine Fairburne . A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth as the wonder passed through his mind if she was returning to the scene of the crime. Did her god want something here? A possibility, but if the youth had to guess, she was here for another slab above all else.
[break][break]
Bill Anderson references his earlier surly words, a curse was meant to teach a lesson. Hideo even agreed, but Andy replied with something akin to a glower. It wasn't for the DILF. It was for the lesson. The whole region had yet to learn a lesson and thus it would remain cursed. Who had the answer? Perhaps it was he, and the Tree of Life.
[break][break]
Perhaps he was a self-important fool.
[break][break]
The Father mentioned that someone was always watching, and the boy had to agree. He just had to wonder how much a deranged psychopath whatever entity really was. Hell, perhaps it really was Giratina pulling the strings at the rate things were going. Averting his chocolate hues for something less heady, Rowan Wrynn and Adrian Malcolm were spotted.
[break][break]
That must be his fellow. They had probably come for mysteries, or bonding, or both. What a pity it would be if one of them died. How much had things truly changed for him to consider Rowan Wrynn dying a pitiful occurrence? As the lot descended, he wondered how much more would change just by the end of the day.
[break][break]
The subterranean chamber was gorgeous, yet ominous. His cane thudding against the creaky floorboards echoed off the adorned walls. The crash of John Sullivan taking a tumble drew his attention and his chuckle. It felt good to have a laugh again. His gengars joined it. Maybe even the scroll hadn't gotten there by accident. Gengar's were a prankster pokemon after all.
[break][break]
While the offer to help right the Captain crossed his mind, his fingers around the tip of his cane quickly reminded him he wasn't stable enough for such charities. Sobered, his gaze poured over the tomes and papers littering the room. If there had been more time, he might have liked to have a look at these in the hopes something might be contained about his vision. Alas...
[break][break]
''Darkness.'' Came the whispered answer to chryssa glasgow 's proclamation. The word still sent a shiver up his spine. Continuing, ill advised as it was, his broken gait halted as eyes peered from the darkness. A trainer of ghost pokemon, this was not an unfamiliar sight to the boy. Kaida Adachi shouted that it was a monster. Even if unwise, he was not afraid.
[break][break]
''Gengar! Epitaph warned as the creature flexed threateningly, Lillith plucked the lame boy back away from the lasers and the flames with poltergeist. While his white gengar retreated, hovering backwards, and Hideo Kino graciously attempted to reflect the ominous light away from him, the unknown threat's power still penetrated their efforts to tear at the wincing gengar.
[break][break]
Perhaps his cursed body would prevent such an attack from being seen again.
[break][break]
Tumbling across the floor, the Blackadder boy collected himself staggering to his feet betwixt Bael and Lillith. However, he's close enough to chryssa glasgow 's meowstic that he could read the title of her pilfered book. Even with all the present danger, with all that had transpired, he wondered if he too had become a hollowed man? Was all that within him replaced by a string of fate for him to be puppeteered into a future in which he had no control?
[break][break]
Clambering to his feet, it seemed as if reality around the lost souls warped and flexed into a plane of confusion and horror. It paled in comparison to being buried alive. Up until then, Andy had always thought himself immortal. Now that that had passed however, he was certain. Only fate could bring death, damn it all.
[break][break]
Eris Halla wilting under the monster's assault was proof enough. Was she not important enough? Was he? Hand cramming into his pocket, he sought his trinket there. This was getting out of hand and it, like the coming darkness, was a storm that needed to be quelled. Maybe it had been a test all along. Damn whoever was watching for giving him no choice but to go along with it.
[break][break]
''Bitch. You're gonna learn, Blackadders don't burn!'' kyle lopez would have little need for taunt here. Cane was brandished at Bael, ''Still this cunt!'' The morphing shadows bent to the gengar's will, his arms disappearing into transparency as shadow claws quickly crept to grasp at the creature. Megastone in hand, Epitaph billowed into a frightening wispy specter that encapsulated his trainer and co.
[break][break]
''Dinner time!'' The seemingly empty mouth parted, and a dark tongue lashed out from non-existence to attempt to ensnare the threat and further paralyze it in tandem with Bael. Snatching the mysterious entity towards it with force, if Epitaph managed to consume it within his malicious maw, it would be spat out, drenched in an ectoplasm that would cause it to detonate in a ghostly explosion of chill as it slammed into the far wall.

Melody had followed behind John Sullivan , why was hoenn so fucking full of creepy shit? Maybe she was wrong to love it here so much. She looked a the artwork alongside him, gasping at it. "wOAHHH This is so old and pretty!!!" she said blowing the dust off of it and then coughing as she breathed it in, even spitting it out a little to try and get it out of her system. She looked over to doug how found an archival book. When they were getting left behind and John tossed the book Melody grabbed it and held onto it for now. Maybe it'd come in useful later? It'd make a nifty weapon since it was pretty heavy. [break][break]

Just when John saw the creature, it took melody a few seconds longer than him. "Hey what's wron-" she said before realizing what it was she saw too. She fell to the floor and was frozen in fear for a few moments before she panickedly scurried backwards as her cobalion was suddenly attacked by what Melody could only guess was a psychic fangs attack. "It has to be a pokemon! It's using their moves! Maybe it's an ultrabeast we haven't seen?!" she shouted. Whatever it was, it was a threat and Melody had to handle it quickly. Cobalion was saved by the vicious attack that was sent it's way thanks to John Sullivan 's primape! "Quick hatterene! Lend some help to kong!" she ordered [break][break]

However Eris Halla seems to have fallen victim instead to the pokemon's psychic jaw but other people here seemed to have it handled. "Stored power right on that fugger! Save john!" she ordered as Hatterene used stored power via the energy it's been saving up for some time now and sent a psychic power towards the jaw's that were gripping her friend. When given the chance, thanks to people buying cobalion some time, the pokemon dashed forward at the right moment and grabbed john by his clothes using his own mouth and brought him back over towards Melody's location. "You ok john?" she asked him as hatterene came over and began to use her HEALER ability on him to heal potential wounds on him. Melody saw the book she had in her hands...Knowledge was power right? Melody took that heavy ass tome and threw it right at the monster, giving him OR HER a middle finger.
