Round One Hundred

Praising your self imposed no-cupckaes diet you recall the less lithe Moonscape and carefully slide down the hole. Buneary lands next to you and you look at the tunnel ahead. It's a little shorter than you are, and you have to stoop to walk through, but there's enough room that you don't feel too claustrophobic. The faint sound of popping reaches you again, followed by a fainter moan that sounds like someone or something is in pain. Buneary taps your leg and points directly ahead. The tunnel splits in two, but thankfully, there are tiny footprints in the dirt that Buneary is still able to follow thanks to her foresight.

As you continue on through the tunnels the popping sounds gets louder and clearer, and you liken the noise to tiny bolts of electricity hitting something soft and wet. You poke your head around the bend slightly and check out what's nearby.



The three pokemon are surrounded by a pile of Pecha Berries. The Pichu and Pachirisu are shooting tiny electrical attacks at the berries which are causing them to break into pieces, and the Pikachu is putting all the chunks into a bowl of sorts. They all look tired and flustered. You back up and turn to Buneary.

- Attack now, ask questions later
- Talk to them first

[BTPoke]

yeah, I thought that full moon on the back of the polaroid was highly inconvenient.

Let's head back to the study and see if we can find something to focus the light. If there's nothing there, we'll head back here and I'll see if I can figure out something else.

Round Thirty

Heading back to the study you search high and low but you can't see anything that might be of use to focus the moonlight. You turn to Haunter and Litwik, in hopes that they know of anything in the house.

"Maybe there's something in the bedrooms upstairs?" Litwik offers "or the attic?"

Round Fourty-Five

You and George take the left hand path. Again everything goes dark, and once again you find yourself in another perfectly round clearing. The melody is a little louder than it was before. You are now faced with a difficult choice, as there are three new paths to take.

- Go left
- Go straight on
- Go right
- Go back

Round Ninety-Nine

Following Buneary you twist and wind your way through the tall grass, apparently following the craziest of trails that sees you doubling back on yourself and going around in circles a few times. The grass has become progressively longer too, or is the ground beneath you sloping down? Maybe it's both. You look back and see only grass behind you, the little village can't be spotted form this angle.

"Oslo look!" Buneary chirps. You peer down and see something in the reeds. Pulling them aside you pick up a soft orange fruit.



A Pecha Berry! You must be on the right track. Buneary eagerly calls you onwards, and you tuck the berry into your knapsack for safe keeping. After a little more downhill walking you are almost up to your neck in tall grass when suddenly you step out into a small clearing. Several small holes have been burrowed into the ground around a larger one in the centre. It looks just big enough for a skinny to climb down. The faint sound of popping can be heard echoing n the tunnels beneath.

- Who you calling skinny!?
- Into the tunnel
- Investigate first?
- Wait for Mac

[BTPoke]

Let's see what currently IS on the polaroid for right now, 'cause there could still be something useful.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Alright let's take the straight path, if the melody gets softer then let's go back if not then we'll go onwards

Round Eighty-One



You approach the three pokemon who sound like they are discussing what the state of the world is coming to, and possibly if the recession is going to hit the badlands as bad as it's hit elsewhere. Whatever.

"Excuse me, did you see the crazy woman that made you dig this hole? We need to know where she is going."

"Her!? Yes we saw her, leaving in quite a hurry too." Torkoal says. "Muttering to herself about gateways and spirits."
"She said something about.. oh what was it.." Baltoy struggles to recall "High-five Terrance?"
"No you dolt!" Vibrava says, smacking Baltoy so it spins on the spot "It was Skydive Herrings!"
"I'm certain it wasn't either of those" Torkoal adds "She said 'Why my bearings?'"

The three start arguing and ignore you. Lets hope you have some idea of what they meant.

- Locate Terrance
- Fish for Herrings
- Investigate her bearings
- Maybe they meant somewhere else?

[DarkestLight]

No worries. Figured it would be the start of a new chapter.

Skydive Herrings..ahh I know what you mean. Thanks folks. Sorry to bother you all."

Release Vigil, pound some water and let's go talk to Cobalion and that massive hippo

Round Thirty-One

You decide to look at the partially developed Polaroid first to see if you can glean any information from it before you decide what to do next. There appears to be a large arch shape in the middle, with a smaller, darker arch near the bottom. A blurry mess of different shades of green and brown surround the large arch, whilst a faint bluish-grey seems to line the edges of the large arch, meeting in the middle to fill up the rest of the upper centre of the image. You assume you are looking at it from the right direction by having it the same way up as the writing on the back. There's nothing else to provide any more clues.

Round Eighty-Two

The water is refreshing and makes you feel clear headed and more focused. You release Vigilance who takes to the skies to stretched his wings. Finally you approach Cobalion and the Hippodown who are observing the other pokemon.



"Once this temple is buried, we will set up a small camp of some kind nearby," the Hippowdown explains "so that any future activity at the site can be carefully monitored and trouble prevented before it starts. Are you certain that the problems within are contained?"

"I am certain." Cobalion replies "There will be no more problems from within the temple, but I advise that you do not allow any pokemon to enter the lower most chambers for any reason."

"Very well. Thank you for your assistance Master Cobalion, I pray that you recover your strength soon."

The Hippodown plods of and Cobalion turns to you.

"Artemis and Apollo have many a good word to say about you Darkest Light. I hope you do not intend to prove them wrong."

"I wont."

"Do you know where we are going next? They already have a head start on us, and we do not know exactly where to find them."

- Where are we going?
- Are we there yet?
- Are we there yet?

[DarkestLight]

Hrm...Just thought about something.

Can you stand on Vigil? If you can, then we can get to the next destination. Otherwise, I'd hate to leave you behind in your current state-and would journey with you via foot to where we are headed.

(If he can, to the Terrace of the Skyline! If not, well shoot, that's a hell of a hike.)

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Alright to the left we go if it gets softer come back and go right

[Oslo]

Hello, little rodents! Sorry for barging into your home but, unless I'm mistaken, those Pecha Berries belong to the nearby village, yes? Unfortunately, I'm going to have to ask for them back on account of how Beedrills be assholes. May I ask why you took them in the first place?

Round One Hundred One



You step out of hiding and straight away speak to the electric types. Pichu yelp and runs to hide behind Pikachu, who arches his back and growls at you. Pachirisu drops the Pecha Berry and stares at you with sad eyes.

"Poppa got sick," the little blue and whit rodent murmurs. "poppa needs medicine."

"Go away human!" the Pikachu interrupts "You've made it clear that you don't want to help, so we've had to help ourselves!"

"Zam don't let him take the berries back." the Pichu whispers loudly form behind "I don't want poppa to go away."

"Quiet child, I don't have the means to fight off any more pokemon, it took all my strength to knock out the Ivysaur. Human, leave us alone!"

A gastly wail echoes through the chamber, and both the Pichu and Pachirisu jump up and run towards it, leaving the Pikachu alone to growl at you and Buneary.

- Attack it whilst it's alone
- Reason with it

Round Eighty-Three



"I believe I can travel on the back of your Pidgeot yes."

Cobalion dissolves into a mist of shadow again and swarms around Vigilance, coming to a stop as a slightly lumpy 'pool' on the birds back. Vig looks a little uncomfortable, and you feel it too as you climb atop his back and hold on tightly, the shadow shifting beneath your body, weightless and formless, but slightly chilly. Vigilance takes to the air, and as you leave the heat of the Nevshard Badlands, you welcome the cooling wind in your face. It doesn't take long as the Honchkrow flies to reach your destination. Vigilance lands on a wide circular platform nestled in the top branches of a huge Redwood Tree. As soon as you climb off, Cobalion reforms into the shadow form he appeared in last.

"This is Skyline Terrace. A remarkable place with many mysteries that have never been resolved."

"Thanks Tour Guide Barbie."

You move off the landing platform and see a pokemon scuttling over to greet you.



Two other pokemon fly overhead, hand in hand and creating a soft glow around themselves.

Round One Hundred Two



Releasing Moonscape seems to have somewhat of the desired effect on the Pikachu. He composes himself into a more respectful form but is still glaring at you.

"Follow me." he says and leads you further along the tunnel. Along the way you see several piles of Pecha berry remains where the flesh has been pulped leaving only the stalk behind. The groaning and crying noises get louder as you approach a rather more spacious chamber. Lying on a pile of leaves is a Raichu, clutching its body tightly, its face clenched in perpetual agony. On the floor around it are several bowls of with traces of pulp, but the Pecha Berries have done nothing to ease the pain and infection that the electric type is suffering from. Gathered around it are several young electric types. The Pachirisu and Pichu from before, along with two Emolga, a Minun and Plusle and a Luxio



"Poppa is still hurting Zam." the Pachirisu says, tears welling up in its eyes "The berries aren't working."

"Stand aside little one."

"Zam you said the humans couldn't be trusted!" the Luxio growls.

"I know what I said Flux, just do it."

The Luxio growls but backs away letting you Bunear and Moonscape into the chamber. Moonscape looks over the Raichu carefully, as if identifying the cause of the ailment. She nods finally, and begins to glow. The white light that shines form her body fills the chamber and the tunnels of the warren. When it fades, Moonscape has vanished, returning to her pokeball to recuperate her strength. The young pokemon rub their eyes and turn their attentions to the Raichu who is stirring in a soft, painless sleep.

"You should leave now human, before our father awakens." Pikachu says, looking back over his shoulder at you "Go back to the village and tell them to leave us be."

- Go back to the village
- Stick around for a bit
- Question the Pikachu further

[Oslo]

Not even a thank you? D: Or an apology for wasting the berries? What friendly folks.

Back to yonder village, then.

Round Thirty-Two

Reluctantly you head up-stairs. At the top it becomes apparent that not all of the mansion has been kept as pristine as you've seen. This floor looks as old as a haunted mansion should look. The walls are decaying and full of holes, the floor is breaking up, cobwebs fill every possible edge and corner and the only light is coming from the full moon shining through the windows. On the walls and few desks that are in the not very large space, are large maps rolled out and stuck on the walls. Star charts mapping the night sky, various sketches of the earth, its moon and the solar system of nine planets. Whoever drew these wasn't around to hear Pluto had been discredited. A telescope sat covered in dust but it's gaze creating a solid path of light on the floorboards. In the back middle of the room, a lone spiral staircase leads up into the very top of the tower, and the highest point of the house.

You take a left once more and step out into another clearing. Wow this is getting old and repetetive. This time however you notice that almost everything is frozen over. There is only one exit straight ahead of you, but this time there is an obstacle in your way. Three obstacles to be accurate.



The three ice pokemon cackle and laugh as they begin to stalk around you.

"Here in the snow."
"Here in the dark"
"Here on your own."

"Come so far."
"Come to us."

Round Eighty Four

You release Darwin and Elegance, the latter of which seems pleased to see that Cobalion has successfully accompanied you too. You turn to the tiny little pokemon that is running towards you.



"Hello there Bonsly."

"Sorry can't talk gotta run!"

"Hey what? Wait a second!"

Darwin reaches down and scoops up the Bonsly, whos little legs keep running until he realises he's not going anywhere.

"Eep! No, put me down I have to go! The temple has been breached, I have to wake the high priests!"

Cobalion steps beside you and you both exchange looks.

"Tell us of the temple." Cobalion says.

"It's the Temple of Beginnings, where pokemon go with their eggs to hatch and bless them as they start life. A woman broke in, she had ghosts with her! Let me go!"

Bonsly lets out a little Rock Tomb under Darwin's feet that knocks her off balance and she drops the pokemon, who scuttles off.

"It sounds like we know where to go now." Cobalion says, pointing out the obvious again. "But now where it is."

Round One Hundred Three

The hospitality of the electric types is a bit harsh, but you shrug and walk away. You're half way back to the entrance when the ground starts to shake around you. A powerful roar echoes from far away but the sudden patter of feet is closer. A bolt of lightning narrowly misses your head and you see Zam and Flux standing either side of you, sparking with energy.

"You led him here! You led him here and now he's attacking us!"

Before you can ask who, the roar grows louder again, and a jet of flame blasts down the tunnel behind you, cascading over a protective shield created only seconds in time by Flux in order to protect himself.

"Get the young ones! Get them out of here!" Zam yells as soon as the fire is gone. Flux nods and disappears down the scorched and still burning corridor. Zam jumps at you, just as a blast of ice goes down the tunnel where he just stood.

"You did this! You put us all in danger!"

"Zam stop." a deep voice comes from behind you. You turn to see Raichu standing there. "It's not his fault. It's the one in the Village above that is to blame. And it's time we ended this disagreement. You human, you should know the truth. Go up to the surface, I will be close behind you."

"I suppose that's understandable," Raichu says "follow me."

You stick close behind the Raichu as he cleverly ducks into different tunnels as the jets of fire and water pass by. Finally, he climbs a sharp hill and comes out back in the meadows. You hang back, just about able to see over a ridge but within earshot of everything that is happening outside.

"You're looking better pest." A bile filled voice says. It sounds familiar.

"I am better now, no thanks to you Mackenzie." Raichu replies. Yes, that's the voice, it's Mac! But he sounds a lot different to the quiet man you met in the village. "Leave me and my kids alone Mac, we want nothing to do with your village or you."

"If only it were that simple. What you know threatens the life I've made for myself here. I can't risk you telling anybody, so that means I need to be rid of you."

"Then I'll go. But leave the kids alone, this is their home, don't steal it from them like you stole everything else."

"Do you think I'm an idiot? You've told them everything, I know you have."

You become aware that all the young electric types have joined you hiding in the tunnel, listening to what's going on outside.

"Mac hates us," whispers the Pikachu, Zam "but he hates poppa the most. Poppa wont tell us why."

"Poppa doesn't trust trainers very much," the Shinx adds "after his last trainer went bad. He must have seen something in you to let you stick around."

The slagging match outside continues.

"What difference does it make Mac? Nobody in the village will believe me, you've made sure of that."

"That's right, they wont. That village loves me, they wont doubt me for a second. And they wont think ill of me for what I have to do here. When that kid trainer with the Buneary gets here he'll see what happened, what I say happened and that's all the evidence I need. Then I'll be rid of you for good."

"I'm sorry it has come down to this Mac."
