One moment Blaine was relaxing in his nice comfortable chair in his office sipping on some whisky, and the next moment the detective groggily awoke on the ground. Just how drunk did he end up getting last night? Grumbling to himself the man would roll over to try to get some more sleep, only to feel the weird ground underneath him move. At the super weird sensation Blaine jumped up to his feet, and stumbled back a little bit, doing his best to remain calm and try to figure out what was going on. [break][break]

Closing his eyes Blaine took a deep breath as well as a step backwards, not wanting to get too far from where he had woken up just yet. With his eyes open there wasn't even much of a difference in what he could see, it was almost pitch black out here. While he couldn't tell exactly where he was just yet he could at least make out that he was outside somewhere, and he didn't seem to be the only one here so far. [break][break]

Reaching down to his belt a brief sense of relief washed over him for a moment, all of his pokeballs were right where they should be. At least he wasn't out here completely defenseless. Sliding a hand across the pokeballs he gently tapped the button on the first and third ball, releasing his Raichu and Noctowl out of their balls. Raichu might be able to make a bit of light for him to see, and Noctowl had special eyes it might be able to make something else out that he couldn't. [break][break]

"This might sound kinda weird Joule but use an Electro Ball attack, but don't let it go just kind of hold it on the end of your tail." With a slight tilt of her head that the detective could barely make out the Raichu followed through with the order and conjured up a basketball sized ball of electricity on the tip of its tail and held the light in place. "Thanks, Strider just try to keep an eye out." He added with a slight glance over to his Noctowl now that he could see the owl. [break][break]

Taking a moment to adjust to the bit of light he now had to work with Blaine was eventually able to make out some faint blue lights floating around in the air. At first he approached a bit cautiously until he was close enough to make out what seemed like the shape of a person standing next to the flames, his mind immediately jumping from it being some kind of threat to just being a trainer and their pokemon. [break][break]

Not wanting to scare the person due to coming up behind them in this creepy environment Blaine muttered out a simple "Excuse me." Before getting too close to what he could now make out was a woman and her ninetails. "Are you alright?" He was sure that waking up in a weird spooky place would be a strange experience for anyone and wanted to make sure the person was okay before trying to ask them anymore questions. As he said that the light carrying Raichu slid up next to her trainer, a corn cob pipe held in her mouth. The Noctowl just kinda hung back for now looking around in the darkness. [break][break]

[tl;dr: Woke up super confused and creeped out over the moving ground, sent out Raichu to hold an electro ball on its tail as a light source, noctowl to see if it could see anything through the dark, and approached illeana reyes and asked if she was alright]

The man had somewhat forgotten how he had reached his bed. Maybe he had drunk too much, or he had been too tired, but he could barely remember having fallen asleep on his bed. What he did remember though was the feeling of electricity, sparks caressing his revealed skin. As he felt that strange sensation, the gym leader got on his feet, observing where he was.[break][break]

"Where the hell are we?" Most likely, that was on everyone's mind. Because he wasn't alone. Many lost souls seemed to have suffered the same fate that he did. Some faces, he recognized. Others, not so much. Hell, one of them was even in simple boxers, so it showed that they had been caught unaware. Balder looked at himself and noticed that, thankfully, he still had his pants on. And some pokeballs attached to his belt. He could identify 3 of them on the spot, but the other 3... He wasn't sure which pokemon had tagged along.[break][break]

The Alolan Avenger grabbed one of the pokeballs, which featured the engravings of the sun upon it. Throwing it in the air, Balder Summoned Leo, the legendary Solgaleo, to the field. Seeing how Kyle and a few others had lit up their respective areas, Balder decided to move more towards cait alfric . Using his bonds with the Sunne Pokemon, Balder raised his arms and released light from his palms, directing it near cadis von klaussner and @altmight . As he stood near the grass gym leader and her Venusaur, the young man looked behind him, towards his Solgaleo.[break][break]

"Care to assist me, Leo? I don't think I'll be able to light this forest up by myself." The envoy of the Sun nodded before doing the move Morning Sun, making his metallic fur shine somewhat brightly. Doing so helped make a small halo of light nearby, lighting the place up a bit more and, hopefully, revealing what kind of location they were in.

GENDERLESS // FULL METAL BODY

regularly, she sleeps like the dead. persephone welcomes this fact because the alternative (a feeling like restless anticipation, the physical sensation of exhaustion like static behind her eyes) is one she's all too familiar as well.

this is much better, and she's grateful for the sleeping pills on her bedside table.

so when persephone "wakes", the heaviness clinging to her limbs doesn't feel particularly odd for the first few moments - though the cold is, the mumbling and muttering around her even moreso.

she straightens and regards their surroundings with a furrowed brow, and struggling to make sense of it all aside from vague shapes of other people, she's relieved to note that at least her pokemon's capsules are still by her side. persephone promptly releases a chandelure and feels herself breathe slightly easier when bathed in its familiar lavender light.

there is only really one thing she can discern with anything resembling certainty: that none of them should be in whatever liminal space this is.

THE FOREST IS ILLUMINATED but only faintly. the light from everyone's pokemon (body in balder's case and improvised torch in thomas' case) is able to clarify their surroundings, but only for a limited distance of 30 feet.[break][break]

oddly enough, the darkness is thick like coagulated squid ink, which causes even the darkvision of nocturnal pokemon to fail after that same distance. the forest is thick and foggy, but everyone's combined efforts is able to throw light upon a worn path snaking through the trees.[break][break][break]

as an ELECTRIC TERRAIN is cast upon the floor and copied, the forest floor brightens with the horror of their discovery. thousands of tentacles writhe through the earth, burrowing in and out in a frenzied pace. galvanized by the electricity, the tentacles erupt upright in places, coiling around several unlucky trainers with their slimy appendages.[break][break]

the lucky ones are pulled into the earth, their tortured faces swallowing dirt as their screams are muffled by their unceremonious burial. the unlucky strangers and their pokemon have their limbs grappled by the tentacles and pulled out of their joints. they are ultimately quartered in spectacular red mists... and the metallic smell of their ends permeates the air and attracts things in the dark.[break][break]

A THROBBING CYCLOPS ERUPTS FROM THE EARTH and obstructs the path ahead. its eye tracks the panicking party. cadis von klaussner, @blake, Laurence Anderson, Noelle Lane, @altmight, jayde cross, Thomas Benoit, @valyx, Lucas Lane, AYAME FUJIWARA, Emma Wolfe, Natsuki Ryuunosuke, and Balder Schwartz find themselves and their pokemon ensnared by the tentacles.[break][break]

the bartender, evan fader, is spared, able to narrowly avoid a greedy tentacle whipping at his ankle as he climbs a tree. in a hungry frenzy, the appendages pull them in all directions, while a malevolent gravity threatens to drag them six feet under.[break][break]

in the distance, a chorus of strained, raspy groans begins to grow louder. begins to surround their location. in the night sky, a small black figure darts frantically across the circle of the moon.[break][break]

should the ensnared trainers fail to escape the tentacles, a worse fate may await them. what will you do?[break][break][break]
