‡ Round 69 ‡

A good two dozen Pokemon appear to have congregated on the temple steps. They seem to be rather steamed about something. Their ostensible leader, a mighty Bastiodon, is marching back and forth between the large oaken doors as though on patrol.

Bellossom bounces toward them in hopes of putting their anger to rest. However, just as she begins releasing Sweet Scent, the Bastiodon derides her with some hurtful remarks.

"Get away from here, salad brain!" she Taunts cruelly.

Bellossom scurries back to you and hides behind your legs. Aww, poor girl. You ask Bastiodon and her posse what's the matter.

"I'll tell you what's wrong," the mighty Shield Pokemon barks. "Terrible things have befallen our land! Clearly, someone didn't want Arceus to be worshipped. Did those Maidens listen? No! And now they're all but gone. They didn't heed the signs when there was still time. If the Earth Maiden continues her rituals, who knows? We could be next! From now on, nobody enters the Platrin Plateau temple. Nobody."

‡ Round 73 ‡

Excitement mounts as the match begins. Bastiodon descends a few steps as Sketcher approaches, smirking deviously. Meanwhile, Ralts presses her arms to her temples and tries to communicate some sneak commands to Sketcher.

Suddenly, the battle is underway. Before Bastiodon can respond, Sketcher releases a killer combo as she flicks her paint-coated tail wildly. First, she draws a bunch of wavy lines around the ground to indicate movement. Next, she draws a boxing glove propelled by speed lines. Finally, Sketcher swirls her tail through the air and draws a concentrated torrent of water.

Suddenly, the art comes to life. Before Bastiodon can respond, an Earthquake, Mach Punch and Hydro Pump all suddenly and strike the Shield Pokemon with one terrific impact. The massive dinosaur is propelled into one of the pillars which cracks from the sheer strength of the collision. She slides down to the ground, unmoving. Sketcher bounces in glee.

Not so fast. Bastiodon's eyes open and she opens wide, releasing an eruption of silver light. The Metal Burst strikes and Sketcher is sent flying. Bastiodon laughs in a terrifying baritone.

Bastiodon is launched into the temple's exterior wall but isn't beaten just yet. She climbs to her feet triumphantly and opens wide for a final Metal Burst.

Incoming Ultra Ball! Bastiodon's attack is swiftly interrupted and lets out a cough as the ball gets aspirated and jammed down her windpipe. Suddenly, the mechanism activates and Bastiodon turns into crimson light before promptly getting sucked in.

The Ultra Ball lands on the step and wiggles once. And wiggles twice. And clicks.

You patiently incline your head and pause. Nothing.

This does not deter you. You nonetheless continue waiting.

Suddenly, the sound of the last deadbolt echoes. You and your Pokemon heave the door open and find another staircase ascending through a marble tunnel. Everything is beautiful and ornate, inlaid with precious stones and gilded to the nines. A red velvet carpet hemmed with yellow covers the stairs and tapestries adorn the walls, each depicting a different Forme of Arceus. You and your Pokemon proceed into the unknown.

The staircase empties out into an impossibly massive chamber. Its focal point is a behemoth of a statue stretching upward like a mountain. As expected, it depicts Arceus. At its base, you see evidence of past rituals performed. Urns and circles made out of sprinkled herbs litter the ground.

Suddenly, you hear a panicked, muffled noise. Looking over, you see a Blissey wearing a headdress of pink jewels gagged and bound to one of the statue's large hooves. She couldn't have been here that long, or else the Earth Maiden would have seen her while performing a ritual, right?

You take a step forward to free her but suddenly a Claydol materializes. However, this is no ordinary Claydol: a dark aura surrounds it and its eyes shine vacant and yellow with no pupils. Weird.

You decide to send Bellossom to fight this frightening Claydol. Quickly, Bellossom bounds toward the Ground-type with her sights set on sucking some health. However, Claydol suddenly Teleports away with a flash of blue light. Bellossom blinks. Buh? It then materializes with another flash right behind Bellossom, who's ready: she sprinkles the thing with a heavy coat of powder. It closes its vacant, expressionless eyes and sleeps.

Bellossom grins and hits it square in the gut with a massive Energy Ball. Suddenly, its chest completely vanishes where the Energy Ball made contact. You peer at this now torso-less Claydol in shock for a moment. Then, the gap fills itself and its body materializes.

You scurry over to Blissey and untie the ropes that have bound her to the Arceus statue. You help her down.

"Golly, thank you so much!" she exclaims, wrapping you in a hug. "I thought I was a goner for sure! Let me introduce myself: I am the Compassion Maiden of the Judgment Shrine."

Rapidly, she explains how she was walking down one of the corridors late at night when she was attacked from behind by a large, hulking figure. Next thing she knew, she was bound to this statue. She doesn't know how long she'd been there. You inform her that the others have been taken too, all but the Earth Maiden.

"You must go help my fellow Maidens," the Compassion Maiden implores. "Oh, I'm so very worried about them. I will stay here to protect the Judgment Shrine. Take this." She hands you her egg. "You can either eat it to regain health or throw it to cause an explosion. Now, please, help my Sisters!"

Suddenly, she takes a quick look at Ralts.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" she asks. "You look vaguely familiar."

The Compassion Maiden puts her hand to her lips thoughtfully.

"Well," she says, "I'm not sure. All I know is that my captors clearly didn't intend to kill me, or else they would have easily done so. That makes me think the Water Maiden must be kept near a supply of water because otherwise she would simply dry up and perish. They're probably holding her in the cistern at the lower level. It's where we store water for purification which then gets piped to all of Platrin Plateau. She's probably there. Just go down the steps from the shrine and turn right.

You head down the right corridor as instructed in hopes of finding the cistern. Though you remain on the lookout for danger as you progress deeper and deeper into the temple, it's mostly an uneventful walk. Pachirisu lets out a long yawn. Bo-oring.

Eventually, your path takes you to a small room with a manhole in the floor. You heave open the metal coverture and peer inside. As expected, this appears to be the opening to the cistern. You wonder how large the aquatic chamber is and whether the Water Maiden will really be inside.

You and Bellossom suit up as you prepare to take the plunge. You devise a fail-safe plan which you pass onto your Pokemon, though hopefully it won't be necessary. Grabbing your flashlight, you hug your arms to your sides and hop down into the manhole. Bellossom follows shortly thereafter.

The first thing you notice once you're fully submerged is how incredibly dark it is down here. The beams from the flashlights manage to slice through the water which, fortunately, is very clean and clear. You immediately notice that the cistern is simply one impossibly massive tank lined with stone. It could take ages to search. As well, along the walls are various pipes emitting light suction. Since they're easily large enough to gobble you whole, you steer clear from them.

You and Bellossom swim through the water, pointing your flashlight everywhere you can. So far, no sign of the Water Maiden. You see something at the bottom of the tank and swim deeper to check it out, but realize it's simply a large device meant to maintain the temperature.

Peering back over your shoulder, you suddenly realize Bellossom is no longer behind you. As well, you hear a loud noise. Looking up, you notice that one of the pipes leading into the wall has gone into super-suction mode. You watch as Bellossom, some twenty feet away, gets pulled with the current toward the pipe.

You tug your mouthpiece out and yell at Bellossom to use Mega Drain, but the words come out as a series of bubbles. However, Bellossom seems to still be able to hear because she extends two long tendrils which you grab hold of. Suddenly, as your body is drained of health, you begin tugging Bellossom toward you. It works. After just a couple of moments, you've successfully pulled her out of the slipstream. As well, she's recovered some health! Win-win!

You and Bellossom hug. All this commotion has caused you to go adrift. When you look over, you see a Kingdra bound to the base of the cistern.

And there, standing guard (or rather, er, floating guard), is a mighty Swampert. It folds its arms as it watches you with glowing vacant eyes. A strange aura surrounds its body, not at all unlike the Claydol.
