 This fissure in space holds a rather dark presence. It’s different from the Mechanical Kingdom, and even The Borders. It feels more sinister. Even Eva hesitates before stepping through the portal and into LESSER MEGALOPOLIS. Her SYGNA SUIT holds any strange magic at bay, but it does little to ease her conscience as she stares into the darkness that greets them.

“Let’s stay close together,” she swallows back any trepidation and catches the quiver in her voice from reaching her words. A brief flash of crimson extends forward to produce a Mr. Mime from the sphere. The ILLUMINA pokemon’s glow pulsed like a beacon amongst the dark, “Hm, do you think that will attract trouble or drive it away?” she regard the shimmering pokemon and breaths like to her concerns for the others to chime in.

Even Hideo could tell this place was off the moment he stepped in. He'd grown used to the clockwork music of the Mechanical Kingdom, and almost expected something similar, but all he received was stale silence.

Uxie - in its ever-reliable Ralts Illusion - sat on his head, informing him of the complete darkness awaiting them. Though not much hindrance to Hideo himself, he did want the others to see. He took out a Pokeball, letting out a Pokemon that was almost as small as the ball it was within: a Joltik.

"Don't think we'll have much luck wandering without any light. And yeah, I know that's ironic coming from me."

He gently scratched the back of his Joltik, the small Pokemon making a happy noise as it began to glow; it too was an Illumina Pokemon, just like Eva's Mr Mime.

 It was a double edged sword: light or no light. As the shimmering Mr. Mime and Joltik led the way, the feeling of uneasy dread only became heavier. The bitter silence was unnerving and already had the adrenaline tickling her nerves. It was like the darkness heightened her other senses, including her intuition.

’s warning stopped her dead in her tracks. Theri shuffling footsteps faded into the darkness. An unknown presence prompted the Mr. Mime to throw up a REFLECT in anticipation.

Their silence is broken by the soft shuffle of footsteps. Before they could even see the source, it was clear by the pattern that it was a limp. An injured pokemon perhaps?

What crept into the light of the Mr. Miime and Joltik sent a jolt of fear through her spine. It was a woman, pale blue skin, sharp eyes, and even sharper teeth. Her lips were peeled back into a half smile somewhere between a pleasant greeting and relief.

“Well, it’s not every day you find humans here.”


Never, in fact. Her finger raised to lips to hush their surprise.

“Careful now, you’ll wake the hive.”

PROMPT 9: encounter a friendly megalopolan that has not gone mad yet. this megalopolan has not known a life outside of this ruined megalopolis, having been born while or after the city was reduced to ruins.

Caution was of the utmost importance here. They had no idea what they'd be dealing with in the darkness, whether it was human or pokemon, living or dead, fleshy or mechanical.

Hideo stopped at 's warning. He cupped a hand around one ear, listening for anything. The "Ralts" on his head did the same, as did his shining Joltik.

He heard the footsteps first, but heard the voice before he could react. It didn't sound like a Pokemon - nothing like Volcanion did back in the Mechanical Kingdom. Hideo was about to loudly ask who she was, only to feel a fingerless hand press against his mouth, his "Ralts" shushing him.

Quietly, Hideo spoke. "Hive? What hive?"

"They are those who have forgotten the light. Or never knew it in the first place."

A groan could be heard in the distance, in the darkness.

"Come. It's best to avoid them rather than battle - we would only attract more."

Hideo nodded; he may not know who this person was, but what else did they have to work with? Until they knew what they were dealing with in the darkness, it was best to stay hidden.

 Eva doesn’t know whether to be more cautious of the Megalopolan in front of them, or more scared of the symphony of hoarse groans and cracked cries that seemed to be crescendoing with each passing moment.

The Megalopolan smile, toothy and unsettling, but unmistakably tired. With a bit of hesitation, Eva too falls into step extending a small thread of trust to the stranger, especially when she starts to see the shifting silhouette of figures growing closer through the shadows, “Alright, alright, come on come on,” The strangers limp left them slow, so Eva threw on of their arms over her shoulder for support and helped them limp along at a faster pace.



“That way.”


They point towards a couple story building on the edge of the city. It resembles an abandoned police station but it’s still quite a ways away so they quietly duck behind a building to avoid the attention of the encroaching horde and HIDE.

‘They’re attracted to your light.’


Eva glances between the Illumina pokemon then around the corner of the building. They’re still coming, slow but surely.

PROMPT 03: encounter hostile zombie-like MEGALOPOLANS that have been driven mad by the darkness. you may encounter any amount from a single one to a large swarm.

Whether or not trusting this Megalopolan was like drinking from a poisoned chalice, it was between that and being torn apart from an awaiting horde of ones that lost their mind.

And if the former tried to betray them - it was 3 to 1.

He followed along, trying to hide as best as he could, but the Megalopolan's warning did ring true: the light from their Illumina Pokemon was going to draw the horde towards them. Just turning off the light wouldn't be enough - they'd likely already drawn some attention.

Quietly, he thought about what to do - and an idea popped up in his head.

One that Uxie was able to read quickly and easily. It silently passed the message onto Hideo's Joltik, who looked a bit concerned about the plan, but nodded in agreement.

Before Hideo could actually speak the plan, he felt the Illumina Joltik float off of his hand, lifted up with psychic energy by his "Ralts". It flew ahead, its light trailing like a shooting star, up above where the horde was approaching. The zombie-like horde all faced towards it, trying to reach up and grab the Joltik - despite it being far above them.

It wouldn't be long until the horde started getting dense, some trying to climb the others to reach that glowing star shining above them.

13 use a light source in some way to distract a swarm of mad megalopolans.

 They find sanctuary in the Megalopolan’s hide out. She leads them to a well-fortified building she calls home. It keeps her safe and sane . . . for now.

’Thank you’


The stranger slowly punches in the code to unlock the gates.

’You are welcome any time.’


A kind gesture, but Eva is uncertain this would be the best place to set up a more permanent camp for their explorations. Perhaps this alien had a map of the region or advice on where they could find a suitable place. Regardless, the pressure and paranoia of this fissure is starting to become unbearable. Even in her SYGNA SUIT, Eva finds her mind beginning to drift.

“I’ll take care of the horde, make sure they’re ok,” once they had a clear path back home, she hoped they would agree that it would be time to take it and regroup in their own world.

The light that remains around them flickers out as the illumina Mr. Mime is traded for a Gardevoir. They TELEPORT to a viewable rooftop with a better vantage point.

TABULA RASA: psychic energy creates a black hole that draws creatures in an concentrated area, dealing great damage to those affected. targets may briefly be stunned.


The murmur of the horde turns frantic, moans crescendoing into an angry roar. Flashes of magenta psychic energy swirl through the darkness. The expanding black hole sucks the zombie-like creatures in, effectively incapacitating them for a brief period of time.




&

Gardevoir uses Z-MOVE: TABULA RASA to incapacitate the horde.

The little Joltik's light diminished into darkness as its purpose was fulfilled, hurtling back towards Hideo like a shooting star. Uxie was able to maneuver it safely back onto Hideo's hand, the horde unaware its target was gone.

He could feel the Joltik squeeze his hand, trembling. "You did good, Glowie," Hideo quietly comforted, gently scratching its back with his free hand.

Hideo followed along with and the Megalopolan as dealt with the horde. He did his best to help the Megalopolan keep moving, serving as the crutch Eva had been before teleporting away. "So…what happened here? From what I'm hearing, this place is a wreck." He could feel the rubble as he walked, even in this safe area.

"Well, it's not very polite to call one's home a wreck. But to answer your question - I do not know. This has been the state of things since I was born."

A sigh escaped Hideo's lips. "At least we got someone friendly to talk to here." She was already better than that one Heatran in the Mechanical Kingdom.

while handles the rest of the horde like a trained professional, cian turns back to their guest; or are they the guests here? either way, his eyes narrow slightly.[break][break]

"alright, i have to ask. why exactly are you friendly with us? like, sorry to say, but clearly we're not your kind. so what's in this for you?"[break][break]

he shrugs a shoulder, forcing a smile.[break][break]

"just making conversation."[break][break]

 Eva wrinkled her nose at the concerning sight of the horde as she looked upon them from the rooftop. She couldn’t help but wonder what could have happened here. There’s no way just darkness drove these zombie-like Megalopolans towards insanity - if it could even be called that.

The friendly Megalopolan blinks at , her lips curling into the faintest of smiles.

’My kind? I am the last of my kind. The rest have been driven mad by the darkness.’


She waves a hand towards the where the horde once was.

It’s hard to discern what she means by that. Was she referring to literal darkness? Or was there a looming shadow threatening to engulf them all?

“We should get back,” Eva’s voice suddenly appears from behind , the Gardevoir at her side, “The horde won’t be occupied forever,” once they get back to safety, they could strategize better for a safer return trip. This place was heavy with an unexplainable darkness, but the intrigue was impossible to ignore.Eva would certainly be returning.

Was she truly the last (sane) Megalopolan here? Hideo couldn't resist feeling some sense of pity for her, even if he questioned whether that was really truly - that perhaps she just didn't know about any (sane) survivors.

's return was surprising, but welcome. Hideo nodded along with her recommendation. "Probably is. We got a better idea what we're dealing with now, and this would be a good space to start if we come back."

He looked towards the Megalopolan one more time. "If you're, uh, alright with that."

"By all means. You have been good to me, so I see no reason to not be good to you all as well. I'll be waiting for your return, though I fear I'll have little in terms of hospitality."

"That's alright. We're just here to investigate. You don't gotta host us." If anything, they should've been giving her resources, as thanks for helping. He'd probably do that next time, maybe bring her some food.



Megalopolans liked meat, right? They were known to eat humans, so maybe other meats could keep her content.
