Dragging Qwilfish still, you start to head into the wood. You ask Azurill to follow, and it does, tentatively. It never left the safety of the lake before.

Going into the woods, you walk slowly, following the small holes that seemed to be left behind. They suddenly end at a tree. You look up and see a bunch of Wurmples.

What do you do?

Hello?

[men of horror]

I try to ask them if they saw a Ralts here somwhere. I ask Azurill to repeat the question if they dont understand me.

You look at the nest of Wurmples and then ask Azurill to relay your query. It does, glad to help you. The Wurmples look down at you, and then they all point up.

You stand back, and stare up at the tree, but you can't see anything. Looking at the tree trunk again, you notice deep grooves in the tree.

Well, time to go up. Azurill hops on your shoulder as you climb. The catepillars move as you head up, passing the lower lying branches.

You climb pretty far up and you hear shallow breathing.

You keep climbing, fueled by the sound of what seems to be a Pokemon in pain.

You reach thinner branches, and realize they won't hold your weight. Looking up, you see light green and brown...and purple. An Aipom peers out at you, and starts making a racket!

What do you do?

You spot your Pokmeon huddled against the tree trunk, shivering. You try to reach out for her, but in your hand is that Qwilfish. Garia sees it, and her eyes begin to glow white, before a psychic volley slaps that fish out of your hand and sends you tumbling 20 feet. You stop on a heavy bough, but Qwilfish falls to the ground.

Azrill is still up there though

[men of horror]

I tell Garia not to be angry at the quilfish. The exblosion attack was a mistake but you cant change the past now. Okay, I do it this way, I tell Azurill to stay by my wounded garia while I go back with the quilfish to the dratini and Squiggles. There I let him rest while I go back and take Garia with me.

You shout that you'll be back to the Azurill, and slowly climb down. Takes a few minutes, but you reach the ground. You pick up the Qwilfish, and hear something in the woods behind you. Oh this is seriously not a good time! You runs for the water, breaking the treeline and startling the Dratini, whom was rolling Squigs into the water! You chase after Dratini, and stop as Dratini just pushes Squigs in and stays right by the edge.

Squigs looks...fine. Albiet knocked out still. You drop Qwil in the water, to Dratini's delight, and then you realize...you gotta get back into that tree.

You head back in, and run right for the tree. You hear the Azurill cry out, and you look up.

An Ariados seems to have found its next meal, as Garia is still pretty shaken up and unsure of herself.

You look up and realize you won't climb fast enough to reach Ariados. Not to mention that Azurill may not be of much help. You call for Garia and she just peers down at you. Qwilfishless.

Ariados however, is faster to the draw, Poison Jabbing her. She falls out the tree crook, and you dive to catch her! Garia faints mid fall, so by the time you catch her and crash to the ground below on your back (ow)-she's out, and suffering from poison.

Not much time now....

Dammit, I quickly run away with Garia in my arms and Azurill. Then I ask the Azurill if she can use refresh on my Garia. If cant somehow I quickly run to Dratini, Squiggles and the quilfish and ask them if they know something about healing poison.

You get up, cradling Garia and Azurill hops after. However, that Ariados is quick to the chase. You sprint and break the treeline, fearing moreso for Garia's consciousness. You skid to a stop and drop Garia on the ground, you're so tired.

Oh, the Azurill! But when you turn around, you see the Ariados dragging a unconscious Azurill into the thicket. You'll prolly never catch up to that 8 legged predator. Dratini looks at Garia and smirks. Garia smirks as well, and glows for a minute, before standing up, feeling much better-albiet on the verge of collapse.

Close call. Good thinking there Garia.

Hey ho

You look worried, but Garia proves she's ok. She just Synchronized with Dratini so she could Shed her Skin and relieve herself of the poison!

You turn to Dratini, as Garia sits down, still pretty exhausted. You hold out the Pokeball, and Dratini gives you a raspberry.

The hell with this. You fling that Ball and smack it dead in its face.. It gets sucked up into the sphere.

*shake*
*shake*

*Ping!*


After a hell of a Zone, you find yourself sitting on the floor of the Reception center, Squiggles and Garia getting healed, and two Pokeballs on the desk.

Thanks for coming

[men of horror]

So Garia was still okay. Well anyway, yay a dratini!
Thanks for the trip.

The Arena: ASB Archive: Interior
Insects and creepy-crawlies hang around the very ancient archive. Being quiet is key, for you may startle the Pokemon.

The Journey:

She cackles, a bit madly, with a hint of chilidsh amusement. The room seemed to fade away into darkness, as a crude representation of what the Misdreavus was talking about.

“The Gods you say? Very well. Man had always worshiped the Gods, for they controlled everything that Man sought. They controlled the elements, they controlled the lands, sea, and skies. They possessed a power that Man wanted for himself, so that Man could become Gods. Man grew, and imprisoned the Gods, taking their power, and soon began to quarrel with themselves. The land was angry that its God would no longer stomp the earth, the sea was furious that its God no longer swam the oceans. The land rose up against Man, and the Gods were freed while Man fought over his own selfishness.”

“Some disappeared, others hid, still some remain.”

The shadows and images fade away, showing that you never left the room, but now you have a headache.

What now?

The phantom flies around in a circle, and Brigadier is able to sense that the phantom is delivering another cryptic message. You don't regain a hazy outlook, but rather a single sentence.

"They are everywhere, and they are not."

Okay, she's being cryptic on purpose. Almost to the point where I wanna have Brigadier squeeze her tightly 'til she reveals Zapdos' location. But I've got no real beef with her; I'll ask her if she knows where he is.

The phantom ghost stops floating and drops to the ground in front of you three, before screaming at the top of her lungs. You wince, and Pyll covers his ears, Levi and Brid look extremely aggravated, before Missy finally gives up the beans.

"There is no god here, for it is doing god's work."

Well, realizing you won't get any more answers out of this ghost now, you quit your interrogation, and march deeper in. For the moment, there seems to just be one massive hallway.

2 Ariados scuttle across the roof past you..as you enter a deeper section.

You continue on, and as you continue, you notice that the air starts to have a strong smell. Levi takes a deep breath, seemingly approving of the smell. Pyll however, does not like. The ground loses its concrete feel, and now its just dirt.

Marching down the hallway, Levi stops and starts to pet the walls. They feel wet to him. You turn and Pyll starts to flare up.....definitely not liking the thickening watery feeling. Brigade however looks at you and you notice..

Brigade isn't affected by the hallway. You look down the hallway, and see it takes a left..and then there's also a second right passageway further down.

Pyll looks at you but before you hear its protest, you recall him. Levi and you reach the left turning passage, and Brigade breaks off from you guys there. You march on, and make that right further down.

Levi locks his cannons and you definitely smell the strong scent of ozone. This area is dark, and there are bundles of soaked paper lying about. But the air is so dense..so...charged that it almost feels unstable, as if its out of flux. Levi keeps his cannons locked as you both continue.

Brigade marches on happily...not noticing anything strange.Except that annoying Ninjask buzzing over its head.

You stop moving, and wait until you hear that familiar crunch of foosteps that belong to your steel monstrosity. Once Brigade reaches you, you pat it on the head and then continue on....

to a nice happy embankment! You three go sliding. Brigade immediately stops that and floats, but that leaves you to surf on Levi's shell as you zoom into the depths of this mountain!!!!

The slide's gradient suddenly increases, and Levi goes crazy fast. You kneel and get ready for anything....except the drop off. Its fast and Levi goes rocketing down, faster than you can grab onto his back. Levi vanishes in the darkness and you would have followed, if it wasn't for a random branch that hooked onto your jacket, holding you up!

You don't hear anything that sounds like squished Blastoise..so is Levi still falling?

Brig finally is called into action. The blue beast floats to your eye level for comfort before reaching out grab Levi. But...it stops. It looks to you and plucks you off with one arm, setting you on its head. You both begin to lower, and you start to see how wide and cavernous this place gets.

Brig stops, and points, and you see Levi, sweating profusely few meters down. That's weird, since you can still feel the charged air up here. You also notice a cave a few meters above where Levi is,and Levi is transfixed by it.
