Couple with the fact that you just poisoned a Gengar...I think we are not focused on the right foes here. Guys, back up and retreat. I think this is something different altogether.

Nope. Not like this. Something is highly wrong. Especially if I still can't see. I'll hop onn Maraud, and we'll fly low, so Excellence can keep up. If Terrakion is even real, he'll run away as well-cause he'd lose this fight.

"Stay with us... Keep on fighting... Keeeep.... iiiiit.... uuuuup..." You hop on Marauder and fly to Nope-Town, as Excellence follows after you. After flying a good while, you stumble across a certain someone. You are still on the graveyard, but significantly closer to the north end. Terrakion speaks up.



"Hey there. DL was it? Well, you fought well along my side. If you want to capture me, I shall engage in a battle with one of your companions."

You decide to have a little chat first, and ask how the Skyline Terrace was doing.



"I... I..." Terrakion seems to flicker a bit, then, turns into what looks like a giant red error sign. So... that happened. Suddenly, you hear some voices in your head, but you can't really tell what they're saying... Seems like they are shouting something. As you try to make sense of everything that's happening, you see a few very familiar someone...s approaching.



"Hey there. DL was it? Well, you fought well along my side. If you want to capture me, I shall engage in a battle with one of your companions." They say in a choir.

"Very well human. It seems like you really were dumb enough to follow the bait. But please, don't get me wrong. I have no intent of fighting you. However, for my master's sake, you will have to keep me company here. For... let's see, forever."

I knew it. This is a construct. Recall Excellence. Marauder, we're taking off. Let's head out of here. To the East!

[Cynder]

Shit, thought they could have plucked feathers and made a trail, but those pecks could have been from just about anyone so the feathers seemed a safer bet... Well, kitty cat, I'm sorry to disappoint but we'll be leaving now.

Freya, mega evolve and use a combination of Earthquake and Dual Chop for DOUBLE DRAGON EARTHQUAKES (that's totally a thing), Warren use Swagger on the first turn (or if she tries to use some kind of status on Freya, get ready to jump in and magic coat); then if it goes to Protect/Detect/any other similar move, use Snatch, otherwise go for your own protect. We're bringing this place down!

"Why would you leave? Everything you wanted is right in front of you. Keep fighting. Keep doing what you love. Keep doing what you set out to do. Keep. It. Up." Once again, the Terrakion speak to you. At the same time, the voices in your head echo louder and louder, but you still can't make out what they're saying. After a good while you arrive the north-east exit of the graveyard. You rest for a second, as you are being overwhelmed by the presence of a giant, blue-ish Pokémon.



The voices inside of your head are suddenly clear, seem calm and collected. "Wake up... The end... of the graveyard... Find it... Escape..." Suddenly, the odd looking Golurk speaks up."I AM SORRY HUMAN. THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO. PLEASE RETREAT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE GRAVEYARD OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. YOU WILL BE GIVEN A FREE TERRAKION IF YOU OBEY. THERE IS NO POINT IN FIGHTING BACK. THIS IS OUR REALM. JUST ACCEPT YOUR FATE AND RETURN TO YOUR WONDERFUL ADVENTURE."

You'd think that having an entire ruin fall on us would cause us to die, but you know as well as I do that we got out just fine. This is just some shack in the woods; we'll get out. But okay, I'll play along for a moment; exactly what are you trying to achieve here? Why are you working with someone as abhorrent as Marten? What exactly's so special in this shack that'll ensure we die?

Freya, Warren, keep a keen eye out. If she tries any funny business, do what I said last round.

♣Round 91♣

You decide to hold on for a moment and ask her a few questions.



"What I am trying to achieve..? That is a good question indeed. In fact, I don't know. I follow orders. I suppose then, I'm trying to achieve keeping you here, but that's something the environment here takes care off on its own. And please, I don't want anyone to insult Marten. Abhorrent? His methods may not be the cleanest, but he's the only person in this world that cares about us... cares about me. He envisions a world that will be a better place for both humans and Pokémon alike. I know what you are thinking, but he is no bad guy... He's just.. on a journey. Yes, I believe that's a good way to phrase it. He's on a journey to find... himself, I suppose."

You remind her of telling you, what exactly in this shack is so dangerous, but she ignores your question and keeps on talking.

"He isn't someone who let's his Pokémon fight... He's fighting with them... Sharing their pain, their happiness... He is nothing like a trainer. He is more of a... hero. And he will end the suffering in this world."

Still no answer...

He hardly seems so sensitive when he's converting Pokemon into shadow Pokemon; if he were sharing their pain THEN he'd be completely unable to do anything, as I'm sure Freya can tell you from experience.

I'll ask about the shack again; and repeat my question until I get an answer because DAMN >:U

♣Round 92♣

You repeat your question.



"Shadow Pokémon? I assure you... the perfect lockdown is nothing like a regular shadow conversion. The Pokémon can't snap out of a perfect lockdown... but they also retain their full consciousness, except for some... certain areas. I already told you everything, his methods may not be the cleanest, but he has no ill intentions whatsoever. He will change this world for the better. That is what I believe."

You, once again, remind her of the shack.

"Oh, yes, how rude of me, ignoring your question, I think I drifted off a bit. You see, this shack... it's not really... stable. In fact, there is nothing here that holds you. I am sorry, I was but a distraction. The door isn't even locked, I closed it with a Psychic. Marten is currently trying to perform the perfect lockdown on a suitable subject, as you should have known if you'd have read the book you stole... Again. I am sorry. I hope we will meet again...

With that, she leaves through the door behind you, wandering off into the forest.

What are you going to do?

FUCK. Freya, we're not playing games any more. Catch up to that little bugger by using roar to freeze her in place and crunch twice times. Warren, have her back and snatch anything which can be snatched, or magic coat anything magic coatable.

Once I have her in my grasp and hopefully loosen her lips, I'll ask where the others went, and if the pecks are legit.

"HUMAN. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE? THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST WARNING. RETURN TO THE CENTER OF THE GRAVEYARD, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES." He seems to grow with you, as you continue to fly upwards. What's happening? The voices in your head get louder and louder. "Reach the end... Graveyard... Jump... Disobey.... Break free..."

You decide to go full force and tell Freya to keep her in place, using Roar to freeze her right in her tracks, outside of the shack. Warren readies himself to snatch or use magic coat to protect her while Freya attacks.



"Why are you... doing this? I told you everything I know..." Freya bites her forcefully. She cries out in pain. "I... al..already... told... you... everything.." Freya keeps the crunches up, biting her again and again, dealing severe damage to the Meowstic. "I... can't..." Freya lets off for a second, and Meowstic falls to the ground, whimpering. "I... don't know where the others went... what pecks are you even... aaaah... even talking about..." She seems to be in extreme pain.

Surely you know where Marten went; you're in on this, and what's he's doing to my Pidgeot RIGHT NOW is unimaginably worse than what Freya just did to you. So I'll ask again, where did Marten go?

Freya, keep on guard and look menacing, but I don't actually need you to hurt her again. I think she's scared enough as is. Warren, I want you to use psychic to make sure she's telling the truth. If she genuinely doesn't know where Marten went, I'm going to need you to use Hypnosis to put her to sleep and we can take her back to the shack, making sure the door's locked and blocked up with a rock slide before we go.

♣Round 94♣

You recall Warren for the time being and hop onto Freya to follow the pecks, while you read the last chapter of the book.

You skim over it, some dates are scribbled next to them, but you can't really decypher the time.
"I knew it. I felt it even here, so far away from the village. She must have planned it. She must have done it. The Mega Lockdown. It was never supposed to happen, never supposed to be used. Mega Lockdown is dangerous for both the Pokémon and the trainer using it, it can only result in death. There is nothing that can stop a Mega-Lockdown Pokémon. (...) I noticed that the eruptions stopped. Did someone manage to beat the Shadow Pokémon? If so... it is only a matter of time until they arrive here. I have to prepare, I have to be ready. (...) I decided on a strategy. If this person beat a Shadow Pokémon in Mega Lockdown state, they will most likely be able to channel their ether at will too... I will convince them to join my cause. It would be safer for them to try out the burst stone... however, if they don't cooperate, I will have to provide enough distraction to be able to test the burst keystone for myself. A kidnapping would be good enough, without hurting the Pokémon itself of course... just maybe... if it's suitable for a perfect lockdown... I might try it. I might actually do it. But leading them astray is my top priority as of now. No, I can't hurt them... I would be betraying the trust of my comrades... Or... Well, anyhow, they will arrive shortly and I still haven't tested the ritual. The Riolu I picked up from the quarry will do just fine. I really hope all goes well and I don't hurt it... Or worse, we arrive at a Mega-Lockdown... That would yield horrific results, it's way too weak to endure that sort of pain. Afterwards, I will-

The page just ends there. Weird. As you follow the pecks, you arrive in front of a lake, a bridge leading to a small islet in the middle of it. You see a familiar face on there, however, your Pidgeot is not in sight.



However... he's lying on the ground, not moving. Did he stab himself again? No other Pokémon are near him too.

What are you going to do?
Approach him?

As you approach him, he coughs, and turns towards you, as best as he can. "I... the dagger... use it... I'm.. I'm sorry.... Please.. save my friend... It's.. not too.. late... I was.. a fool. A fool... for thinking I could.. could control such.. power... Please... end this.. end this madness... end this... suffering..."

I'll take the dagger, then have Warren use Psychic and Calm Mind to read his mind to see what happened so that he doesn't need to talk, and keep him calm to stop him struggling.

♣Round 96♣

You use a combination of Calm Mind and Psychic to read his mind, while you pick up the dagger.



You see many distored images. The islet you're standing on, he stands there... with something that looks like another person with a coat around their side and a mask... There is your Pidgeot, lying inside of a crudely drawn pentagram, they seem to be arguing. The man with the long coat approaches your Pidgeot and yells something... you can't understand what. Marten then proceeds to throw the dagger to the ground, yelling back at the masked man. The man then turns around and looks at Marten's Meowstic, pointing at it. Marten stops his shouting for a second and falls to the ground... you don't really see a reason for that though. The images you see become distorted all of a sudden, skip around to different points in time and there's no possible way to determine if that was even the right order of events. Suddenly, you see a few last, clear images. The man standing right in front of Marten, stabbing him with his own dagger, then taking off with his Meowstic in hand. Your Pidgeot doesn't seem to be in this scene anymore as well.

As you exit his mind, you feel more confused than before. What happened? They wandered off towards the Panbau Sanctuary, but... Also, Marten doesn't seem to be doing too well. You just noticed the bleeding wound in his chest...

What are you going to do?
Ask him about your Pidgeot?
To Panbau Sanctuary?

Well, there's not much more to be done here. But we can't just leave him... Warren, try using Wish to see if it helps abate the bleeding, and Freya, look around to see if there's anywhere we can put him so that he's more comfortable, and I'll try to wrap the chest wound tightly with his coat. As much of an ass as he was, he doesn't deserve to die. If Freya manages to find anywhere safe to put him while he (hopefully) recovers, I'll have Warren use Psychic to keep him in the recovery position and carry him to the safe place.

This thing is growing....

AUgh these voices in my head are getting me nowhere....

*Spies he's still surrounded by clones of Marauder.*

Maraud, catch me after I bounce off this Massive Golurk! HYAAAAAAA *Epic scream as I dive into the phantom totem*

♣Round 97♣

You get to your first-aid work.



After bandaging his chest tightly with your coat, your Pokémon helping with some healing moves, you position him leant to a stone, so that he sits upright. It seems like you stopped the bleeding for now, he is probably going to make it.

A frightening place where all the worst stories originate. Home to Ghost and Dark type pokemon, you may find a rare Psychic type, but only the bravest dare tread here.

♣Round 18♣

After spying around and confirming, that Marauder's clones are still present, which they are, you prepare for the most intense action move ever.



The Golurk is visibly surprised by your jumping assault, and stops growing for a second, as you land right on his face, bouncing back into the air, while you are being caught by Marauder.
"HUMAN. WHAT WAS THAT? ERROR... DOES NOT COMPUTE... RETURN TO CENTER... RETURN TO CENTER... CONSEQUENCES... RETURN..." You can't really tell what exactly is happening to it, but it seems like you are finally getting somewhere. The voices in your head keep saying the same things over and over. getting louder the more confused the Golurk seems. Hm...

What are you going to do?
Continue to fly upwards?
...Jump again?
Go back to the center?

Type of Safari:	♦ Classic

Panbau Sanctuary
A reclusive grove of bamboo shields unwanted eyes from the secrets that lay dormant in this densely packed forest. There is talk of treasure beyond one’s wildest imagination lying just beyond the grove.

♣Round 1♣

Another wonderful day for a great adventure! As you arrive in Panbau Sanctuary, still a bit dizzy from the teleportation, you take a quick look around, leaving your two legendaries inside their Pokéballs, to not cause an uproar instantly.



Some bird Pokémon are soaring through the sky, while some bugs are doing a little exploring outside of the Sanctuary. Two of them seem to be arguing, but you are too far away to understand even a single word of what they're saying.



However, nothing's really out of the ordinary... except for the massive shrine that you just noticed right behind you. You are sure that this was never part of the Sanctuary and seems completely out of place. Some candles are lit and you can see a very bad drawing of what appears to be Groudon, fighting Kyogre. In front of the shrine, you can see an Electivire, lost in thought.



What are you going to do?
Into the Sanctuary!
Approach the Bug Types?
Approach the Electivire!

♣Round 98♣

Now that you brought him into a stable position at least, you pose some more questions.



"I have no idea who he was... He wasn't interested in the Burst Stone at all... He didn't even say a single word. He just watched my first try.. However, I didn't have any Pokémon suitable enough with me, except for your Pidgeot, that is... So he put it in the middle of the circle, probably tired of waiting. When I refused to do it, he got.. hostile. I think you saw the rest, didn't you? Oh, Lunata... where are.. you..." With these words, he passes out on the spot.

"He's going to make it boss."

Looks like we're going to Panbau, then. I'll recall Warren again and hop back onto Freya's back! Who needs a fancy car when you've got a mega Garchomp, eh? :U
