| Nino: "I know that, but I've had them for so long, I've become attached to them!" Nino began to cry, not because of the situation, but because she was helpless. Everyone had seemingly deserted her and all her thoughts began to focus on Star, she needed him, and he couldn't be here for her. Serra: "Damnit..." Serra kept trying to think, and then she thought of the ultamate soulution and began to double think it. The process of double think was very very weird and confusing. It was to think something, but convince yourself you were not thinking it, so you could do something and be absollutely posisitive that you were not doing it. Serra: "Do you know how to double think Siryx?" Sarah: "Please, just wait..." Sarah could feel the dark energy rising inside of her. Drake fell to the ground but got up quickly and prepared to fight, llightning striking from ground to tail. Dracoon: "If you want to fight... then bring it on!" Dracoon was glad that his energy had parted a good deal of negative energy and he'd be able to last for a while. It might be hard, but he already had a plan. |

| The nurse stared at Nino... she really wanted to help but well... once a pokemon was traded, it was hard to find it... Nurse: "Well... they're gone now. I don't know how I can say this... but you have to forget about them. I'm sure their new master will treat them in a good way and make them into superb pokemons... who knows? Maybe they'll appear on TV, during the matches of the upcoming Tournament?" ... During this time... ... Siryx: "Doesn't work. Ex tried it in her home Possibility... and anyway..." The human stopped just in front of Serra... It was only then that Siryx noticed that it was a woman. Probably 30 years-old or something like that... Woman: "Hi there, pikachu! You're really cute, aren't you? Calm down... I'll find you a worthy partner..." Siryx: "Err... actually... she already have a partner..." Woman: "I know that you're called Raichu. No need to remind me!" Siryx: "I didn't said my name! I'm trying to say that Serra is... well... my wife and since we're happy together, I don't think she need a new partner." Woman: "I understood. You're Raichu." Siryx: "Things just got very creepy... it looks like we can no longer be understood from humans..." The woman grabbed Serra and carried her to the opposite side of the area and placed her next to a male pikachu. Then, she left. (male Pikachu): "Err... hi? So... you're new around here, aren't you? I'm Zapper, the dominant male around so... well, that means we'll meet each others at the breeding area, heeheehee!" Siryx: "I HEARD THAT!" Zapper: "Look at that! The newcomer wants to challenge ME! Very funny..." Siryx promptly proceeded to zap Zapper with all of his powers! While the thunderbolt wasn't strong at all... it seemed really strong to Zapper! Zapper: "AAAAAAAAAAACK!!! CAN'T... STOP... SHAKING... AAAAAACK!!!" The woman turned around and pointed a pokeball at Siryx. Then, a strange beam was shot from it. Siryx attempted to avoid the beam... but was still struck and was sucked into the pokeball. Woman: "This male seems aggressive..." The woman walked away. Zapper: "Hmph! What a loser! Anyway... what's your name?" ... During this time... ... The Nightmare Demons assembled around Dracoon. There was about 20 or so of them this time... One of them couldn't bear to stand there roaring any longer and actually attacked. It spitted a large sphere of Dark Matter at Dracoon! As almost everyone knows, Dark Matter are actually living creatures which means that upon being hit, the victim will be possessed... and even machines could be possessed! As such, if Dracoon didn't avoided the incoming black sphere, he was basically condemned to join the Nightmare Demons as a slave of some sort... and for a period of time varrying between entire centuries and the whole eternity. In short, he MUST avoid this attack at all cost! |

| Nino sighed and walked out of the pokemon center with her head hung low. She couldn't believe this... then she got an idea. Nino: "Where can I get a starter pokemon so I can try and catch pokemon so maybe one day I'll forget?" Nino tried to look hopeful. Serra glared at Zapper. Serra: "Sorry, I'm taken." Serra tried to get away from Zapper, she really didn't need a hormone crazed male to try and touch her. She was preparing to shock Zapper if he dried anything. (Sarah Drake part) Dracoon jumped into the air, as high as he could, dodging effectively. He pointed his buster cannon down at the nearest one and let it focus for a bit. Dracoon: "Damnit Schwa, I thought this was more useful than that! Psi Beam!" Another psi beam shot down at one of the nearest gaurdians, hoping he could at least scare them away. |

| The nurse tought for a while... Nurse: "Hmm... what was his name again? He's supposed to be REALLY famous... HA! NOW I remember! Professor Oak! He's at Pallet Town, just to the south of this city! Just a little warning however... Many believe that Professor Oak went crazy after reading and then later, testing the last Champion's reports on the world... reports which are still secret. Since then, Oak believes that pokemons are actually conscious creatures like humans and is trying to figure out what keeps their consciousness locked! Crazy, isn't it? Yes, Oak is brillant... but thinking that pokemons are not animals? I think that when you say that the limit between genious and insanity is thin... well, Oak broke it! Still, since he's so knowledgable, he's STILL highly regarded... altought if I were you, I'd be careful not to let him talk about pokemons' consciousness! He'll argue with you for hours on end, believe me!" ... During this time... ... Zapper was amused by Serra's reply. Zapper: "Taken? Very funny. Since when do females only choose a single partner?... and anyway! I'm really strong and smart! What more could you ask for?" It looked like Serra would have to shock him if she hoped to be left alone... ... During this time... ... The Psi Beam struck the Nightmare Demon and did little damage. The Demon Nightmares grown to a venomous intensity! Soon, the air was filled with their incredibly loud and displeasant screams. It was a real torture for the ears, really! The Nightmare Demons used their powers to open a vortex above the purifier's field! Micro meteors begun to rain from the shower, threatening everything in the purifier's field... including the purifier which was struck by a single meteor! As the field shrunk a bit, the Nightmare Demons came closer... and seeing as the distance between them and Dracoon decreased, they tried in vain to hack him apart with their claws!... but since the field still protected Dracoon, they could not reach him. They hoped that the meteor rain would force Dracoon to get in range of their deadly claws... and everyone knows that a Nightmare Demon's claw is made of a lesser variant of Xeno Alloy, the same stuff Dark Weapons are made of... which means that altought Dracoon's shielding will protect him (if he got shielding), his armor will give him no protection. But the worst was the fangs, covered with a deadly Meta Virus that affected all things with a soul... including conscious machines. This Virus would cause Dracoon to lose grip on what's real and what's not, making him an easy target... and add to this that being biten by a Nightmare Demon is mighty painful and does ridiculously high amounts of damage and you have a very bad situation. A shadow could be seen behind the Nightmare Demons... circling around and being ignored for some reason... |

| Nino: "Thank you very much." Nino gave a small little bow and walked out, heading directly south, to pallet town. She knew what she'd do, she'd look for the only lab, knock, wait a little, and see if he was there, if he wasn't, she'd just wait. Serra: "Didn't Siryx just hurt you...? He's the strongest and most definatly the smatest." Serra turned away, getting ready to shock him if he tried anything else. She didn't really like this that much... (Still awaiting Drake and Sarah part...) Dracoon looked at the purifier. He'd gone undamage by the metoerites and now had an idea. Dracoon: "COMP... Anyway to charge this up?" COMP: "Yes, I'm 100% positive if you download a copy of me into the purifier, I can increase its effectiveness by at least 300%." Dracoon didn't have to plug in, he'd practiced this so many times. Every AI program could be transfered in waves of energy. Radio waves to be exact. Dracoon emmited radio waves, uncontrollable and going everywhere, but they always got what they intended to do. The purifier had recieved COMP and should be able to operate much more effiencently. |

| OFF: Oops! Just noticed that I had forgot to post what had happened to Drake and Sarah!... well, I'll fix this issue. ____________________________________________________________________ The road to Pallet Town was quite safe... but halfway trought, Nino reached a forest. A sign was in front of the entrance... -Danger! Viridian Forest ahead. This forest is filled with many species of aggressive wild pokemons. If you are not a pokemon trainer, then be sure to enter with one! You have been warned! The only way to Pallet Town was trought the forest... ... During this time... ... Erdrick grabbed Sarah's arm! Erdrick: "Wait?!? You saw the vision! There's nothing you can do!" The Dark Ones all together attacked as Erdrick tried to force Sarah to come with him! During this time, the Dark Ones came closer and tried to grab Drake's feet so they could kidnap him. ... During this time... ... Zapper laughed at Serra. Zapper: "Huh? Whatever if he hurted me? I could have hurted him in a MUCH worse way!... and anyway, it doesn't look as if he isn't around, isn't it? What could keep you from being my partner for now?" Another pikachu approached Zapper and then proceeded to slap him! (pikachu): "Isn't it obvious that she doesn't want to be your partner! Leave her alone!" Zapper: "Hmph! I've never been rejected before... and I shall never be! This female WILL be mine!" (pikachu): "Just quit it and leave!... unless you want another slap!" Zapper: "No need for violence, lady! I'm on my way..." Zapper was about to leave Serra alone... but he turned around one last time... Zapper: "Don't think this was the last time you seen me! Since I'm the best male around and the trainers knows that!... and since strong parents make strong children, the best males are the most used ones!... and since you're obviously a very fine female, this means that they WILL make us into a couple sooner or later. In short, even if you reject me, I still win in the end!" Zapper left. The pikachu sighed... (pikachu): "He's SO annoying, isn't he? Too bad he's right... man! It would be so nice if pikachus were a specie that are allowed to pick and stay with only one partner..." The pikachu suddenly realised it said something that was against it's instincts... (pikachu): "Huh? Did I say something? Nope... Zapper is absolutely right. What are you doing, newcomer? Pikachus aren't supposed to be picky creatures, you know! Single partner relationships are not for pikachus!... in fact, relationships is not the right word since only and only humans are allowed to love. Which is stupid... err... forget I said that too. I think I'll... well... leave now... before I say more stupid stuff..." The pikachu left, all ashamed that it said what it was thinking to a stranger... in fact, it became ashamed as soon as it left becease it had tought and used common sense. Animals don't have common sense! ... During this time... ... The purifier's field began to grow as Dracoon installed the AI program... but suddenly. Purifier's computer: "Non-Guardian technology detected. Self-destruction sequence activated." The purifier self-destructed and the field disappeared instantly, exposing Dracoon to the harmful polluted and to the claws of the Nightmare Demons! The shadow dashed toward Dracoon, grabbed him, disabled his perception systems (sight, hearing, e.t.c.), and teleported away... When Dracoon's perception systems were reactivated, he was inside of an underground complex. On the wall in front of him was written "Area A"... it was his destination! Upon closer inspection, it was possible to see that he was NOT in a Guardian base... which was good news. Bad news however! He's chained to an operation table... Two robots were examining him... (robot #1): "Hmm... this is definitely not a model from this world." (robot #2): "So... what do we do with him?" (robot #1): "According to XK-007, he was fighting those strange liquid creatures... so he's definitely on our side. Guardian machines are emitts a signal that repel the creatures." (robot #2): "I see... well... what do you think is his function?" (robot #1): "Fighting robot. He was equipped with gun type weapons." (robot #2): "Well... we can always use a new battle robot!" (robot #1): "I think we should ask him what he's doing here..." (robot #2): "I think we should make the modifications first. He is equipped with too many useless functions. Battle robots should not think, they should act. His CPU should be simplified to keep him from thinking. Also, he's a battle robot, not an artillery! ALL of his advanced weapons should be removed. Only basic weaponry should be left. He's not a scientist robot either. Remove all scanning devices!" (robot #1): "I don't think this should be wise. Yes, his equipment is of no use to him since he's not designed to use them obviously... but I still think we should ask him." (robot #2): "Ask a battle robot? Please! No, let's remove his equipment and armor now and convert him into a true battle robot. Those equipment pieces will be much more useful to others and his advanced technology shall be analysed and copied." (robot #1): "Well..." (robot #2): "I have a higher rank than you. You shall comply." (robot #1): "... understood." The second robot left. The first robot stared at Dracoon... (robot #1): "Why is being unique considered bad? Only some of us are allowed to have CPUs advanced enough to think and thinking differently is tolerated only becease our technology cannot allow us to modify souls and make them all identical... this is so sad. If the great Master Computer, Veinion, would learn of this, he would be sad... but Veinion is possessed by this creepy android, Epsilon, and her associate, Belzethos. SIGH!" The robot took some kind of tool and hesitated... (robot #1): "I really do not want to disable this stranger's CPU... great knowledge, intelligence, and sensivity must be within... Why do X-0 believes that robots should only have one function and exist for the sole reason of fulfilling this function while Veinion encouraged us to go beyond our original function and find ourselves new functions?" |

| Nino stared at the sign for a minute, then she sat down a little ways away. Nino: "I can't risk being hurt again... I'll have to wait for someone and hope they're nice enough to help... I hate being powerless." Nino looked up the road, hoping that someone would be comming, it was morning, someone had to be comming sometime soon... she hoped. Sarah turned and stared, not screaming to be let go, she tried to look deep in his eyes. Sarah: "You're the one trying to make the vision real, it is your choice, not ours, but I'm not going to let you." Sarah remained calm, willing the power to rise to her so she could at least use it this time. Drake looked paniced, and he had to a right to be, but his instincts flared in and electricity started to zap anyone that touched him. Serra sighed, this was really annoying. She was trapped here and needed help from outside, but there was no one outside helping... Then she remembered something, someone on the ship had to be on the planet, just hot to find them? Serra: "Ok... Someones here, hopefully Star... He could find me from anywhere on the planet, please let it be him." Dracoon regained himself and heard them talking, it didn't take them long to realise he was in danger. Dracoon: "If you don't want to, then don't. I'm not a simple machine... You disable my CPU, I'll still be able to think on my own. My CPU, COMP as I know it to be named, is the life blood of my extra systems. My sensors and everything, you can disable it if you want to. However, how I think is connected directly to my weapons, movements, and is completely intertwined with all my normal systems." Dracoon's X on his forehead started to glow brightly and a voice of a human emmited from it. ???: "Dracoonx4, the 4th creation in my X series. My most sucessful version as well, the others followed their programming and could never learn. Out of all 10 reploids, I could only reproduce the effect in X0, my final creation, however... it turned for the worse. Dracoonx0 had a highly destructive personality and lead to its death when X4 destroyed and adapted all other 9 robots together. This lead to the ultimate creation, and life form on the planet earth. Dracoon." The voice became distorted for a second, then came back. ???: "Dracoon is meant to have the ultimate amount of power, however, the worlds strongest fighters never brought the true potention out. I have detected one use of the "Supreme Shot" in a paralelle deminsion, but its power should've had an adverse effect. The precision of that Dracoon's aim somehow managed to keep the universal laws intact, in all theory, this Dracoon should be able to do the same. Any attempts to de-activate Dracoon by removing technology shall prompt the 23rd version X power core, this power cores activation should make Dracoon nearly invincible and allow him to use the Supreme Shot." Dracoon: "It seems an old memory has been activated..." |

| OFF: Well, I think I'll officially put Bel's and Star's part of the story on hold until Fettster is back and can post regularely again... unless he has an objection against this decision. Now... back to (other parts of) the story! ____________________________________________________________________ A man wearing samurai armor stopped hiding behind one of the trees and then walked toward Nino... Samurai armor-wearing guy: "Hey! I think I overheard that! So... you're looking for an escort, isn't it?" The man smiled. He truly looked ridiculous, wearing medieval armor in a world that had clearly passed the medieval era since a long time. ... During this time... ... Erdrick: "You're the one that doesn't understand! Even if we tried to save him, he would still be kidnapped!" The Dark Ones got sick of just standing there, threatening the party and actually attacked! The Ekans that had hurt Drake jumped foward, trying to bite him! ... During this time... ... Someone overheard Serra. It was a small pichu. It approached Serra... (pichu): "Hey! Hey! Hey ma'am! Look at me! Listen to me! You're... you're the... the..." The pichu was so excited it had difficulties finishing it's sentances! It was bouncing up and down non-stop and at a high speed! It looked like a crazy spring or something... (pichu): "You're... you're... YOU are that female?, right? The newcomer that came with the raichu, isn't it? Come see my friend! Come! Come! Come!!!" The pichu jumped around toward one of the gaps in the fence, especting Serra to follow him... ... During this time... ... The robot scientist stared at Dracoon in disbelief... Robot: "You said Supreme Shot?!? Then this means that..." The robot examined Dracoon's weapon systems... Robot: "I... my systems cannot conceive this... and yet... it is real... very real... You are..." The robot made a step backward... and then bowed down?!? Robot: "You wield the Phase Mana Cannon, the only weapon that can unleash the power of the Supreme Shot... and only those who were blessed by Deus Ex Machina, the god of machines, can use this forbidden technology. I never tought that in all of my function cycle, I would meet a Chosen of the Deus Ex Machina..." The robot approached Dracoon and removed the magnetic locks that kept him bound to the table. Robot: "Chosen... your identification code is "Dracoon", right? I do not know why you are here... but whatever the reason of your presence... do not let X-0 learn of your existance. X-0, our new leader, is... well... quite... insane to say the least. Between him and those strangers who caused those strange liquid life-forms to appear, I don't know who's worse... and well, escaping the strangers only to fall into X-0's hands would be a rather bad thing to say the least... as such..." The robot took out some kind of weird tool and then printed something on the back of Dracoon's right hand. Robot: "I written my security clearance code on the back of your hand. It's not a permanent inscription fortunately and should you need a higher security clearance, it can be replaced. Now... allow me to help you escape this place... but first, you'll need protection against the air outside and as such, we shall head to the armory first. Please follow me..." The robot walked (at a painfully slow pace) toward the door. Obviously, it had not been designed to move much and getting out of the room was hard for this robot... |

| Nino looked up at the man nervously. Nino: "Uhh... sure... I guess." Nino was a little worried. Samurias were never her thing... Drake quickly rolled to the side and tried to give it a Thunderbolt attack. Sarah remained calmed still trying to will the dark flames to surface, she was almost ready to panic, she really needed the powers to surface. Sarah: "Come on... Come on..." Serra: "Wait, what about it?" Serra hurried after, really confused. Dracoon: "Ahh, thank you, but can you give me some info, what is Machina Ex? I've never heard of this, only thing I know about how I was created was that it was my creators, Samuel's, original plans and that the idea suddenly came to him." Dracoon stared at the back of his hands and then started running a full system scan. Many functions were offline but were quickly put back on. Dracoon: "And what would your leader do if he found out what I was?" (edited by Dracoon on 06-20-05 03:09 AM) |

| The samurai smiled. Samurai: "Relax and come with me! The ride will be perfectly safe, I guarantee you!" The samurai invited Nino to come with him in the forest. ... During this time... ... Suddenly, Erdrick let go of Sarah and steps backward. Erdrick: "I... I... I cannot believe it! They were right... you ARE one of them!" Dark flames were coming out of Sarah as the dark power flowed trought her... however, as it did, a voice echoed in her head... ???: "Hmm... so you attempt to defy Fate, don't you? Your attempts are in vain... just watch!" Suddenly, the flames seemingly came out of Sarah's body and took a form identical to her. Dark Sarah: "Hahahaha... what a pathetic creature! You are a creature of the Darkness and as such, you are destined to serve Evil!... may you like it or not! Fate dictate it... and as you are bound to Fate, there is nothing you can do about it! Now... let's fulfill the vision you saw, don't we?" It was then that it became obvious... Sarah and her dark side had switched places! Sarah's soul was now in the body the flames had created while her original body, under Dark Sarah's control, was running toward Drake! Erdrick: "A dark... figure? Must have been that shadow pursuing me and that girl in the vision!" Erdrick dashed toward Dark Sarah! Erdrick: "NO! We must escape... NOW!" Dark Sarah: "LET ME GO! I must save my brother!" As Erdrick escaped, forcing Dark Sarah to come with him, she was mocking the real Sarah... Dark Sarah *using telepathy*: "Heeheehee... you interpreted the vision wrong! I am the one who is about to return to the world, taking your place! You and your brother, shall now be engulfed in the Darkness... forever!" Then, without letting Sarah and Drake do anything, the Dark Ones jumped on the two and dragged them into the depths of the dark castle... ... When Sarah and Drake awoke, they were unharmed... altought Dark Sarah was covered in dark flames and felt as if something was missing... as if something within her had been removed or something... As for where they were... well, they were on a small platform floating in the infinity of the nightmarish world within the dark castle. In front of them, stairs were leading to a door floating in the infinity. Behind them, two doors... one blue, one green. No creatures in sight... ... During this time... ... When Serra passed under the fence, she found herself in a small area where the humans obviously didn't knew was there. Several pokemons of different species were waiting for her. Pichu: "Hey! Hey! She's there! She's there!" The one who seemed to be the leader was a battle-hardened Blastoise that had obviously seen better days. He was covered with scars and his left eye had been somehow removed... and not chiurgically... He stared at Serra and then said: Blastoise: "You did an excellent job. She truly seems to be the newcomer. Well well well... you're that newcomer that arrived with that raichu, right? As you must already know... times are changing. For years, the pokemons have lived in slavery... but the time has come for us to reclaim our place as concious beings! No longer shall we be chained to the Holy Laws and you have been selected to be part of our group. You see... for years, I fought alongside a strange human... the ex-Champion to be more exact. Alongside him, I learnt about things I had never suspected... honor... courage... teamwork... and most of all, friendship. When I left, willingly, his party to live my own life, I landed in a world that considered me as a mindless animal and treated me as such... and then, I decided to revolt. At first, I was alone... but as you can see, we are many now." The blastoise smiled. Blastoise: "While I seems to be the leader... our true leader is a charmander who is called Erdrick... or well, he used to be our leader. Erdrick had tought that by using the infinite power of the legendary Ever Stone, he would be able to vainquish Fate, the force that keeps the pokemons bound to the Holy Laws. Our leader left years ago... and never returned. Since then, I have replaced him as the head of the resistance... but as you can see, I am aging and soon, I may die... however, we heard that something had messed with Fate lately..." The Blastoise shown some kind of paper to Serra. On it was a drawing representing her... as her "Ex" being form, fighting an incarnation of the Dark King Mewtwo! Blastoise: "Fate has contradicted itself... it has issued a vision that says that YOU will die in 5 weeks, while fighting a powerful Golem... and yet, another vision portrayed you as a humanoid being, fighting and defeating the Mewtwo Wraith that has been terrorising our world. As such... such an anomaly must mean that you can defy Fate!" Pichu: "Becease of Fate, we have no future... well, no future of our own. Fate has told me that I would die next week, crushed by a car..." A bulbasaur stood foward. Bulbasaur: "Overdose of that junk they put in pokeballs, in 13 days." A charmeleon stood foward. Charmaleon: "Will be forced to evolve in 21 days. Will catch an impossible-to-cure disease affecting the heart and will suffer for 2 years before dying." A sandshrew stepped foward. Sandshrew: "Will be overworked to death in non-stop consecutive battles..." Blastoise: "Even you... you are destined to perish in an atrocious way... but you are different from us for you can shatter Fate and free us all from our preset futures! Altought Fate dictated that you would refuse our offer to join us... I am confident that you will understand our dilemna to join us... and well, to say the truth, I believe that you do not want to be a tool of Fate, don't you?" ... During this time... ... Robot: "Deus Ex Machina... is the god of machines, the very first robot ever created. It is said that it was Chaos, himself, the almighty and perfect Creator, that programmed him. X-0 hates the tale of Chaos and Deus Ex Machina... he says that only weak biological beings should believe in such non-sense... but personally, I believe that Deus Ex Machina really does exist... and I also believe that he's not the Deus Ex Machina the strangers presented us to! That Deus Ex Machina must be an evil, twisted copy... for there is no way the real Deus Ex Machina would serve an evil deity such as this Dreickonis guy! You saw what he did to our junkyard? He defiled the graves of our outdated models and used their souls to feed the monsters he summoned from his homeworld, Pulstar." The robot opened the door. Robot: "Also... as for your second question... If X-0 caught you, he would probably... no... if he can get his hands on you, then he WILL reprogram you to be his slave. I guess it's pretty obvious why it's bad when you know that X-0 vowed to purify the Universe of biological beings and make all of the worlds into mechanical utopias all living peacefully and efficiently under the watchful eyes of their lord and master, X-0. In short... X-0 is a mechanical copy of Dreicknis... in fact, they're so alike that I sometimes wonder if X-0 was programmed by Dreickonis to be a copy or something like that..." |

| Nino looked nervous again, but went with him into the forest. She wasn't really excited, at all. Star had told her a lot about samurias and their "powers" but he alsonoted their many many weaknesses. They used great katanas, a normally powerful weapon, but the metal they were made out of was weak and would bend against a strong sword or shield. Still very dangerous because of how they worked, Star always said to trust them and their high honor code, but to make sure you didn't depend on them. Nino: "Thank you very much, I just hope something does happen." Sarah was afraid now, she'd been tricked into letting fate occur, she couldn't believe it. She sat up slowly, then stood up, looking at Drake. He was also standing and looking at her as if she'd done something wrong. Drake: "You should've saved yourself." Sarah: "But..." Drake: "I didn't need you to come for me..." Sarah: "Drake... Please..." Drake: "I don't need you, you will only get in the way." Drake struggled towards one of the doors, the green one, and opened it. Drake: "And don't follow me." Sarah: "Drake, please wait!" Drake walked through the door and slammed it shut. Sarah sighed and walked through the blue door, she wasn't liking this. Serra: "No, I've seen fate broken before and I know it can be broken again. I'll break and it save you all!" Serra looked determined, but then she remember something. Serra: "I can't leave without Siryx though, and I don't know how to get out..." Serra looked a little embarassed about being stopped so soon. Serra: "I'm sure you know a way though." Dracoon: "Yes, a god of machines. It seems far fetched, but entirely possible. Even if it isn't true, I still have this power, I just need to find out how to unleash it." Dracoon kept following, running more scans. He wasn't finding anything though, then a memory popped into his head. Star: "Come on, you have to do better than that!" Dracoon: "I will defeat you Star!" Dracoon shot a huge beam of energy that headed straight at Star, but he dodged it easily and shot lightning at Dracoon, bringing him down to a kneel as if it was nothing. Star: "See, no matter how strong you are, you'll never beat me." Dracoon: "Omega Shot!!!" Star looked surprised by this and it was obvious the power was making it harder for him to move, he managed to dodge thourgh. Star: "Almost got me, but you'll still have to do something better! Lightning Blast!" Lightning exploded down from the sky, striking Dracoon several times, the thought pounding in Dracoon's head "I WILL WIN!". the memory faded and Dracoon found out he'd actually been keeping a charge for a very long time. Dracoon: "I see how it works... I won't use it though." |

| Well... unfortunately (or fortunately?) for Nino, the journey trought the forest was mighty boring. She found out trought the journey that he was wearing samurai armor and equipment just for the looks; he was just a regular pokemon trainer. Trought the way, he challenged two pokemon trainers and lost twice... and then, he was pursued by a gang of angry beedrills after trying to catch a whole hive of them. All in all, he proved to Nino that he was nothing but a common loser. Then, when they finally reached the exist (and thus, Pallet Town), the (fake) samurai bid Nino farewell... until she came back with pokemons. Samurai: "I know you're going to become a pokemon trainer, aren't you? Well... know that by the code of honor of pokemon trainers, you must accept EVERY single challenge that is proposed to you!... which means that next time, we shall meet as enemies and that I WILL defeat you! Now... goodbye!" The samurai returned in the forest. Before Nino was a peaceful looking town. Oak's lab was on the edge of the town, on a small hill. The lab was visible enough by itself and since it was constantly surrounded with wannabe-trainers, it was really hard NOT to locate it... ... During this time... ... Beyond the green door, Drake found himself back in the Room of Fate... or is it? A robed figure wielding a long scythe made of human bones was floating in front of the pond... The figure's face couldn't be seen but Drake had heard tales from her mother... it had been know under many names such as Grim Reaper or Death... but Serra knew it's true name: Celebi. Celebi: "Hmph! Yet another one chained to Fate... I wonder if he can see me? Probably not. Mortals never pay attention to me anyway... why should they? Anyway..." Celebi floated toward Drake and stopped right in front of him. Celebi: "I shouldn't tease this mortal... but since he cannot see me and hear me, what's the harm?" Celebi began to circle around Drake, yelling all kinds of insults, both common and rare, both rude and rather... err... weird. It was a rather unique sight... seeing Death itself teasing a mortal for no apparent reason exept for total, complete boredom... ... Sarah passed trought the blue door and found herself in completely dark room. Six blue torches were the only sources light... and even then, their light was barely making visible the altar in the middle of the room. Pure dark energy flowed from the altar... but while Sarah would normally be attracted or at least just feel or sense the energy, Sarah felt nothing. It seemed as if her Dark Power was just... gone. ... During this time... ... Blastoise: "To say the truth... you cannot leave by yourself. You must be carried out of here by a trainer... but once outside, all you have to do is force your trainer to somehow keep you out of your pokeball and then, escape when he's not looking. Also..." The Blastoise approached Serra and stared at her intently... Blastoise: "Pokeballs inject an implant in your body... and you'll have to remove it if you want to be free of the pokeball's power. Problem is... it could be anywhere. Mine was... in my left eye, as you can see... it be anywhere... but wherever it is, it must be removed. Be careful however! You rebecome a wild pokemon at the eyes of humans once your implant is gone which means that the second you're caught, second one will be placed. As such, think it twice over before removing the implant!" Blastoise closed his eye... Blastoise: "Having an implant means that you can access teleportation systems when inside a pokeball and that you can be healed trought Healing Machines and don't need restauration items and medical help... but it also means that your trainer will ALWAYS know where you are and will be able to bring you back using the pokeball's Tractor Beam. While removing the implant is essential if you want to enter the holyland, Silver Valley, where the forces of Fate originate from, it is in your interest in keeping it as long as possible in order to be able to access human facilities... but once you must remove it, do not hesitate, wherever it may be!" The Blastoise pointed at a hole in the fence... Blastoise: "This hole leads to the males' area. Just be careful... many of the males there can't wait for a female to come for... you know what. Furthermore, since you're not allowed there, humans could punish you if they see you there. Siryx is not in the males' area... but at the end of the area is the wall of the farmers' house... as well as a hole in the wall. Get in their house and locate the cell where Siryx is locked... which should be Cell #11 if I'm not mistaken. How you get the key to the cell is up to you... but be sure NOT to be caught! The success of your escape depends on it!" ... During this time... ... The robot finally leaded Dracoon outside the room and slowly leaded him another part of the lab... There, a strange armor made of bronze was kept in a statis cell, in the wall. Robot: "Behold, Dracoon! This is a Dark Armor, a suit of armor which the strangers designed to resist the air outside! It reduces damage from the polluted air by 50% and increase effectiveness of the purifiers' field's regenerative process by 200%, allowing one to venture MUCH further into the land. If you want to explore the Sector... then we'll have to find a way to somehow merge this armor with your current one." (edited by Zerodius on 06-20-05 08:30 PM) |

| Nino approached and tried to shove her way through the crowd to see what was going on, she was hoping that it wouldn't be another obstical. Drake looked at Celebi, rather annoyed. Drake: "Just shut up and go away." Drake looked ready to attack Celebi. Sarah: "Whats going on with me..." Sarah walked up to the altar to see what it really was. Serra: "Fine..." Serra went through the tunnle and tried to avoid all the males as she went towards the hole in the house. Dracoon touched it and it started to glow, along with his armor. Soon, it completely disappeared, but Dracoon didn't look any different. Dracoon: "This is always simple for me." Dracoon looked at the robot, wondering what now. Dracoon: "I need a way out, and a map if possible." (edited by Dracoon on 06-20-05 09:22 PM) (edited by Dracoon on 06-20-05 09:24 PM) |

| The crowd was at the door, trying to find a way in. A scientist was at the gate, trying to calm down the crowd. Scientist: "I'm sorry... but we shall only allow 4 people to become new pokemon trainers today... and yelling won't help you being selected..." ... During this time... ... Celebi's eyes glowed under her cape... Celebi: "Huh? You can... hear me? You... you really can hear me?" Celebi seemed excited! It was the first time someone was hearing her... ... Upon closer inspection, it was an altar used for infusing beings with dark energy. Seemed quite standart. Power utilised for procedure: magic. Yep, common stuff. An Umbreon suddenly seemed to appear out of nowhere. Umbreon: "Amazing, isn't it? It is here that we turn common pokemons into powerful dark pokemons! I bet you cannot wait to have the Dark Power infused in you, can you?" ... During this time... ... However, the second Serra stepped into the area, every single male turned around to stare at her... One of them was recognised easily... Zapper: "Ha! There you are! See? No female can resist ME! Come closer, girl! You'll like what I have in store for you..." (another male): "NO! Why should YOU always get all the females, Zapper? I want her too!" (yet another one): "Ignore them, lady! Come with me unstead!" The males began to argue and fight on who was going to... err... nevermind... I'll say that in another way. The males began to argue and fight in order to see who Serra was going to pick (becease they believed Serra would pick the winner or something like that). ...and of course, such noise could only get the humans' attention. It's only a matter of time before the trainers get there and see Serra! ... During this time... ... Robot: "Wait a minute... the armor disappeared?!? This is terrible! You won't be able to go outside and explore the Sector with the armor!" |

| Nino somehow managed to get to the gate and waited patiently, looking at the scientist, hoping he would notice her and select her. She could do nothing else. Nino: "I sure hope I'm picked, I've always liked Oak's belief that pokemon and trainers should be friends rather than the trainers just using pokemon." Drake looked at Celebi again. Drake: "Yes... I can hear you, is that supposed to be a surprise?" Sarah looked nervously at the new creature. Sarah: "Well... no, not really. I already know how my dark powers work and would just rather return to my original form." Serra: "Damn males..." Serra looked at the trainer for a second, then jumped through the chaos that was males fighting and ran towards the hole, hoping the trainer had lost her. Dracoon: "No, you must not've seen it. I've changed the armors structure so it would be adapted to my armor without losing any of my normal armors strength." Dracoon made sure his scans were right and confirmed them. Dracoon: "Yes, it is all working at 100% effeciency." |

| Everyone stops talking and turns to Nino... They stares at her as if she was an alien for a moment and then... everyone pointed at her and laughed! Wannabe-trainer #1: "What a loser! Hahahaha!!!" Wannabe-trainer #2: "As if pokemons could be something more than tools!" The scientist tried to calm the wannabe-trainers... Scientist: "Everyone! Remain calm. Altought this lady is most obviously an idiot, we must be polite toward the mentally deficient... but since she must have SERIOUS difficiencies to believe pokemons are conscious beings... then, what's the harm?" The scientist had changed his mind! He pointed at Nino and laughed too! ... During this time... ... Celebi couldn't believe it. Celebi: "I... I cannot believe it! You can... hear me!... and you're not one of those dark pokemons thingies either! I cannot believe it..." Celebi stood back... Celebi: "May have Fate finally smiled on me? I have been alone for so long... I do not know what to say! What should I do?..." It was so weird, seeing such a scary and creepy being looking all upset and nervous like a teenage girl... ... Umbreon: "You know nothing of the Darkness. Once your soul will be one with the Dark Power, you will see what you truly are... how destructive you always were but didn't dared to be. You will bring death and suffering to every being you meet... and you will like it. Heeheehee... indeed... Soon... you will be one with the Darkness!" The Umbreon truly looked more ridiculous than anything, speaking of the darkness like that. While it may scare or impress common pokemons, there was no doubt that a REAL being of darkness *cough!*Sarah*cough!* would find the Umbreon rather humorous. ... During this time... ... Serra was lucky; the trainer did not saw her. Unstead, it took out several pokeballs and began to lock into them each of the rampaging males, one by one. As for Serra... she was able to reach the hole and make into the house. She was now in the room where Siryx was locked. In fact, he was in the cage right in front of Serra! Siryx: "Serra! Are you alright?" ... During this time... ... Robot: "Interesting... if the situation wasn't so critical, I would have liked to study your technology... but you must leave before you are detected. I would accompany you... but I was not designed for movement. Making it here was hard for me, you see... and I won't go much further. Still, I am sure you can escape by yourself. Once you exit this room, look for a weak spot in the left wall. Breach trought the wall and you'll find yourself in the ventilation ducts. They should be large enough for you to navigate trought. Finding an escape route once in them should be easy enough. Now... good bye. I hope that my function cycle will be long enough for us to meet again under better circumstances..." |

| Nino: "You're all ignorant moronr! You find a species of creatures that isn't as "intelligent" as you and force them to work for you, convincing them and yourselves that you're doing nothing wrong. One day YOU'LL be the slaves and they'll be in control. I'd rather work in peace with them so I can make a life time companion and not a tool to be used and expended. Imagine how much more powerful they would be if they tried to fight for you for a good reason? Jerks." Nino closed her mouth after the sudden outbreak and waited for something to happen. If they decided to mob her, she had enough power to scare them away. Drake: "Well... if you promise not to kill me, you can hang out with me." Drake looked at Celebi, hoping that she would accept the offer. Sarah: "Yeah right." Sarah just shrugged it off and looked for another way out, hoping to get rid of this annoyance. Serra: "I'm here to help, just gotta find the key." Serra looked arond, especially towards the door way since she thought it'd be on a hanger on something. She needed that key quickly. Dracoon: "Yes, hopefully we will... I'll be on my way, thanks for the help..." Dracoon went out, turned left, and went into the ventalation system, crawling forward, trying to get out of it. |

| The wannabe-trainers and the scientist stood there, not believing what they heard for a while... and then, they continued laughing! Then, suddenly, they all stopped laughing and for a good reason! Professor Oak himself was now in front of the gate, staring at Nino. Oak: "Hmm... I see..." Scientist: "Err... I'm sorry..." Oak: "Your lack of professionalism disappoint me. You really act as if you wanted to be fired... well, I cannot blame you, I guess. Now... YOU!" Oak pointed Nino! Oak: "Come with me." The wannabe-trainers' eyes widened. Wannabe-Trainer #1: "But... mister! She's unworthy!" Oak: "Did I asked you ANYTHING? You, the lady there! Come to my lab!" Oak turned to the scientist. Oak: "You there! Don't just stand there! Open the door and let her in!" Scientist: "I... I'm sorry..." The scientist opened the gate and invited Nino to enter. ... During this time... ... Celebi smiled. Celebi: "You saw your Fate in the Room of Destiny. I will not claim you until long after you became an adult so do not worry!... and why would I kill a potential... er... how do they call it again?" Celebi seemed upset. She was unable to remember the word... Celebi: "What's the word... It begins with a "f"... fider... fredi... fiendr...freid... frined... Hmmm..." ... The Umbreon stared at Sarah in disbelief. It cannot grasp the principle that one may not want to get the Dark Power... Umbreon: "Are you implying that you refuse the Dark Power?" ... During this time... ... Siryx: "Well... the key is on the farm's owner's desk, in his bedroom. Making it there will be... well... let's just say that it will be very, very, very, very, very, VERY hard." Siryx turned toward the door... footsteps... Siryx: "Someone's coming! Hide!" ... During this time... ... It wasn't long until an opening was visible in the ventilation system. Just behind a fan was an exit leading outside. A purifier was located just above the fan... There was only one way trought... but destroying the fan would probably trigger the security systems on another hand. |
