-He grabs a strap and tries to fly to help Jack lift it outside-

Lilycove Present

"Oh, silly me. Well my dad is an inventor, so whatever he needs he just plum makes. However I did find something unique that he would definitely enjoy. Wanna take a wild guess of what it is?"

<Daddy, Daddy, Daddy I got a hug and and and scratches by Sasha!> :3

Shade chuckles.

"I see, maybe you should do something special for Sasha."

To Jack

"Sunny really enjoys Sasha's company. For some reason the trio have been kind of distant. Not badly so, I mean they get along, but they just don't click as well as they used to. I think its them finally finding out who they are, and maturing. What do you think?"

Jack: Um, some kind of tool, I'm guessing?

And I never had siblings, but I did have a friends who were sisters when I was a kid, and when they hit puberty, they fought a lot.

They're better now, but I'm betting that it's the same for pokemon as well.

Lilycove Future

"Nope, I got my dad a meteorite shard. I found it while training near Meteor Cave. He always liked to collect things that reminded him of space. He always was big into space travel, he always said, space is our final frontier. You know I always wonder how many beautiful things Arceus has created in the heavens. Well, I can't get him to space, but I can bring a piece of its beauty to him. I'm sure he will enjoy it. As far as the Kanto trio, I think your right, I'm just glad they aren't fighting among themselves."

-Fletcha and Brandon are walking around when they start to overhear something-

???: "It's like I'm talking to a Mankey!"

-They look around and notice a woman who could only be described as scary beyond all reason talking to a Lapras-

"A really big, stupid, Mankey named Kronk!"

"And do you want to know something else?"

"I never liked your spinach puffs!"

Kronk: -gasp-

???: "NEVER!"

"Which is why I'm releasing you now, you are of no use to me anymore."

-She releases Kronk and walks away-

Kronk: <Oh no...what am I going to do now?>

-After the woman was clearly out of sight, Fletcha and Brandon walk up to Kronk-

Brandon: <You could join us!>

Kronk: <Uhh, do I know you?>

Fletcha: "Oh, my name's Fletcha, I'm a trainer and Brandon here's my starter Mon."

Kronk: <Wait, you can understand me...that's useful.>

Brandon: <Yep! If you join us you'll probably quite a lot of other unusual happenings.>

Fletcha: "And we'd definitely be at least nicer than whoever you last trainer was, no offence..."

Kronk: <Ok, that sounds good to me.>

-Fletcha pulls out a Pokeball, catches Kronk, and they make there way to Mossdeep-

Ok, this is the first time I'm trying to have something of an expy (Kronk from the The Emperors New Groove, if it wasn't obvious), so any comments/suggestions about how I am writing this character (now and in the future), would be greatly appreciated. I mainly just want to make sure I do the character justice, and not mess anything up

Joe and Munn's Room

"Get yourself ready. This one's gonna be a little while."

-he opens up another lollipop and starts sucking on it-

"I had just left the garden, walking along back in those pipes, see?"

Steam Tunnel

-one would think that the transition between heavenly garden of enchanted roses and industrial steam tunnel would be jarring and unpleasant, but our red-clad hero doesn't seem to pay it much mind. The warm steam surrounding him, the hiss of the pipes, the rhythmic clanks...all surprisingly pleasant! Of course, if he had to walk too much longer, he would have gotten bored, but luckily:-

Joseph: Huh?

-the sound of claws skittering along metal pipes makes itself heard over the steam, and for a brief moment Joseph sees a small, dark and hairy creature rushing along before disappearing into the steam-

Joseph: ...a Rattata?

-it sounded a bit too heavy to be a Rattata, he decides, as he hears another one dart down the left-side pipe of an intersection in the hallway-

Joseph: ...hmm.

-one thing that he had learned in his time traveling these stories is that the way with the most weird shit is the way you're supposed to be going. He takes the left side and walks, wiping some accumulated moisture from the steam off of his forehead. The next living he sees is not a whatever-that-thing-was, but a Foongus-

Joseph: Hmm? Oh, hey there, little guy! Whatcha doing?

-the Foongus doesn't seem to have much to say. He appears to be rooted quite firmly into the metal of the pipe, his ingrained roots running along to either side-

Joseph: Well, isn't that peculiar! You're making a nice little living for yourself on a pipe, yes you are! Oooh, and here's a couple of twins!~

-over his head, two Foongi are rooted into a pipe, staring down at him-

Joseph: Well, I hate to leave you cuties, but I gotta move on, now! So maybe if there's nothing interesting I'll look at you guys some moooooooooreuuuuuuuuuh...

-he slowly stops walking and looks at his environment. It's a hodgepodge of pipes. Old pipes, new pipes, grey pipes, stained pipes, shiny pipes, dull pipes, connected pipes, disconnected pipes, pipes that are simply connections connected to nothing, all sorts. There are holes in the wall, and as Joseph steps around he can feel soft moss under his feet-

Joseph: ...is this a forest?

-it would appear to be so. There aren't any trees, but there is quite a good deal of moss. It covers the walls, floor, ceilings, some pipes. Foongi and Amoongi, as well as some garden variety mushrooms, grow out of whatever the hell pleases them. Some small makeshift buildings are off to the side, and some pipes are punctured in a way that spray steam nonstop at a row of mushrooms-

Joe and Munn's Room

Munn: "So what DID make them?"

"I...don't know?"

Steam Village

-they look something like Rattatas, if rather mangy and unpleasant looking. They have purple fur, or black, or brown, or spotted white. Curiously, they walk on their hind legs most of the time, although they occasionally skitter on all six of their legs-

Joe and Munn's Room

Munn: "Six?"

"Six. Like a mix of Rattata and Ledian, I guess."

Steam Village

-whatever they are, they're industrious. One uses a fragment of edged copper to saw through a mushroom, then some others dissect it, carefully and practiced, into parts. Peeling off the top layer of the cap, shaving some of the flutes off of the stem. A small team of Rattaledians (or whatever they are) work on a pipe, chittering angrily amongst themselves as they try and plug it into a wall-

Joseph: ...hey?

-it may as well have been a singular cell on a Foongus that spoke for all the attention the creatures give it. Joseph figures that he may as well move on, so he does, taking care not to step on anything fragile. He walks on through the steam, concentrating on seeing through it. This is a task that's made much easier at the sight of a green light-

Joe and Munn's Room

Munn: "A Steam Greenlight?" o3o

"...sit in the corner and face the wall, and when I'm done I'll think of something to do to you."

Joseph sticks his tongue out, teasingly, before continuing.

Steam Tunnel

-Joseph, paying attention to the light, follows-

Joseph: ...heeeey, are you a fairy?

-the bright green glow reveals itself to be a shiny green little woman, about the size of Joseph's pinky. He can't make out many details, though he is able to make out one certain thing:-

Fairy:    SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!   

-her mouth, filled with tiny teeth as sharp as needles and dripping with something sickly purple, as she flies over to attack-

Joseph: EEK!

-reflexively, and because he knows what fairies can do, he backhands her out of the air, sending her careening into a pipe. A particularly rabid-looking creature scurries over and picks her up, one arm grabbing each limb as he stands on his hind legs and-

Fairy:    GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!   

-Joseph, despite being nearly attacked by her, winces as he watches before moving on. The moss grows thinner as he walks, and the bustle of the creatures dies down as he moves further away-

Joseph: ...hmph! Long hallway, this is...

-thankfully, after not too long it culminates in a circular room. The pipes travel floor to ceiling along the walls, ending here. Along the grey walls of this room are three doors-

Joseph: ...will this make a difference which one I pick?

-figuring he may as well, he does the deep, complicated process of choosing what may eventually shape his fate-

Joseph: Eenie, meanie, miney, moe, catch a Pyroar by the toe, if he hollers let him go, my-mother-said-to-pick-the-very-best-one-and-you-are-IT!

-he lands on the one in the middle of the other two, using the official-looking push bar to do so. This door leads into yet another bloody grey hallway, although this time it's cement as opposed to metal. It appears to be the basement of a sports stadium, with many different banners streaking the walls. None of them appear to be of any city or sport he's heard of, though-the names are so much gibberish, like the Aishieirfjwoeinfeiorj Ieoremfis or the Liurstorang Toustills. The sports depicted range from the mundane (there is a silhouette of a man sawing through a plank of wood) to the bizarre (one picture involves a woman using a dentist's hook to pull another woman's lip down to her belly button-

Joseph: ...hardcore orthodontia leagues?

-he's distracted by a very short (around waist height), very hairy man humming as he exits a door farther ahead of Joseph and begins to walk up a flight of stairs-

Joseph: ...do I smell pizza?

-he follows his nose, and indeed the man (let's call him a homunculus) is carrying a box of pizza in his arms-

Joseph: Oooh, that smells good. Can I have some?

-Joseph says this whimsically, but he may as well have spoken in tongues with a throat full of broken glass for how well the homunculus took it. He shrieks at the top of his lungs, gibbering in some strange language before throwing the whole box at our white-haired hero-

Joseph: ...um.

-well, at least he caught it. Now, he has pizza! He opens the box, humming in satisfaction as he sees a steaming fresh pie of extra cheese pizza-

Joseph: Mmmmm~ My favorite topping.

-taking a slice, he noms as he returns to the circular room, deciding to visit the door on the left-

Joseph: ...?

-this one looks like the inside of an auto shop-what used to be one, that is. Auto parts and tools lie around, and a car lay on its back like an overturned turtle. Towards the side is a magazine that, when Joseph inspects it-

Joseph: ...ick.

-contains absolutely depraved pornography. Deciding that this is no place he wants to be, Joseph leaves out the door he came in, testing the right side door-

-now, this one is much simpler. It looked like the interior of a closet, with a raincoat and pair of galoshes on the floor. Within this small closet is another door, this one wooden-

Joseph: Well, this looks nice and qu-

-he's cut off as he steps inside, seeming to fall from a ceiling as he slams into a wooden floor, damp and wet with salty water. It's pitch black, and Joseph becomes vaguely aware of a rocking sensation-

Joseph: ...am I on a ship?

Mossdeep Pokemon Center - Jacob's Room

-Jacob has spent all day drinking and playing AI V-

-He is now outrageously drunk and stumbling through a Nordic Ruin, laughing at giant Ariados and hiccuping-

-He's swaying from side to side and when he sees another giant spider he reacts by doing the following-

Jacob: "Oh hai mister hairy thing what do you GAH ATTACKING KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE-" -Holds down the magic button long after it's dead, then goes and continues to burn it's corpse pointlessly-

"Heh... I wonder if I can-"

-And he lights a pool of oil on fire and ends up killing himself-

"Heeheeheeheehee~~ Why ish thish so mush fun?! DEWWWWWWOOOOOP"

-And he flops backwards on to his bed-

-Rolls around-

-And starts stroking his pillow while reciting Shakespeare-

-He's had a weird day-

-After a few moments of reciting Puck's last few lines, he stands up perfectly straight with an intense look on his face-

-And promptly falls forward towards the door-

-He catches himself and opens the door and half-tap dances quarter- swing dances quarter-stumbles out into the main area of the center and towards the door outside-

Joe and Munn's Room

Munn: "So, were you on a ship?"

"If you had waited thirty damn seconds, I'd tell you. But yes."

Ship

-Joseph can't see a thing, and is uncomfortably wet as he ends up sitting in a puddle-

Joseph: Urghk...

-not only is he expressing his disgust at the wet sensation, but he is also expressing his disorientation, since the water sloshing about makes it difficult to tell which way is which...-

Joseph: ...wait, the water's getting deeper...?

-indeed. Now, were he to stand, it would be up to his ankles. He sits up, holding the pizza box in one arm as he does so-

Joe and Munn's Room

Munn: You still had that pizza?

He cheekily pokes Joseph's stomach.

"Nyeeeaaaaah!"

Ship

-now aware of the fact that the room is steadily flooding, Joseph gropes one-handed for a door. Since there is no rule against thinking bad words in storyland, let's show you his inner thoughts-

Joseph: fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck- Oh!

-he finds a door handle, through sheer luck, and grins...before it fades as it rattles-

Joseph: LOCKED?

-he growls and begins to kick at the door with his heavy boots, punctuating for emphasis-

Joseph: THERE'S! -BLAM- NOTHING! -BLAM- HERE! -kick- WHY! DID! YOU! LOCK! IIIIIIT? -BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM-

-finally, and mercifully, it opens, though not as a result of Joseph kicking it. It opens from the outside, and light floods the small room. Joseph blinks, before stomping outside-

Joseph: What was that about?

-he addresses this to no one, but he gets an answer from those who answered the door-

Girl: It's a closet, silly!

-she appears quite goth, though her voice has a high-pitched, girlish quality to it-

Joseph: ...and I was in it because?

Girl: No time for that! PATRICK, THE CLOSET'S LEAKING AGAIN!

-a dirty blond boy, looking a little younger than Joseph, approaches, carrying a rusty old toolbox. He disappears inside, before another girl, much younger than Joseph, scampers over and wraps her arms around Joseph's waist-

Girl 2: I told them I heard something!

-she says this proudly, though it would be more impressive if she hadn't. Larger kids file into the room, caulking and mending about dutifully and quickly. In the meantime, Joseph takes his time to size up the situation-

Joseph: ...hmm.

-pitch blackness makes everything look brighter, apparently, because the wooden hallway isn't well lit at all. One oil lamp hangs on the wall, nothing more. Wood creaks as the ship rocks, although it's not so bad as it seemed before. A wooden chair and table rests against a wall, and another wall is covered in its entirely with a map of a waterway Joseph had never seen before-

Joseph: So this is a ship.

Girl 1: Of a sort!

-the goth girl, despite her dress, is as blonde as a Hilton-

Girl 1: Thing is, you're dead.

-the girl hugging Joseph chimes in-

Girl 2: This is purgatory!

-her attention is caught by something else-

Girl 2: And that's pizza!

-before long, having completed their task, all of the children surround Joseph and share pizza. Apparently, dead people still like pizza, because it was gone very quickly-

-after their meal, a brown haired boy introduces himself-

Boy: I'm Stephen, and this is Hell.

Joseph: Purgatory.

Stephen: If it doesn't have pizza, it's Hell, trust me.

-a dirty blond boy introduces himself as well-

Patrick: ...hmm. I'm Patrick, and before you start worrying I can't tell if you're dead. As a matter of fact, I can't tell if anyone here is dead.

-a brown haired girl adds to this-

Brown Haired Girl: You feel alive because you still have a chance.

-she speaks in a flat monotone, and her eyes don't appear to focus. It's the sort of thousand yard stare that children shouldn't have-

Goth Girl: But you are dead, no matter what anyone else here says. We all are, and you just have to accept it and keep moving. I feel alive, yeah, but I got here like dying like anyone else.

-a pause-

Goth Girl: My name is Rainbow.

-she takes a bite of pizza so she doesn't have to explain-

Joseph: I'm pretty sure I didn't die, though. I didn't do anything that could kill me!

Stephen: No one really remembers the experience of dying, but they remember how it happened. I locked myself in a refrigerator.

-a broad shouldered boy added to this-

Francis: I'm Francis, and I drowned in the middle of a storm!

-the young girl chimes in again, somewhat bitterly and petulantly-

Jo: My stupid older brother locked me in the trunk of a car and drove off a cliff.

-beat, while Joseph processes this-

Jo: I'm Jo!

Joseph: What a coincidence! I'll just go by Joseph, then.

-the brown haired girl with the unfocused eyes introduces herself-

Maria: I'm Maria. But there's no time for that! We need to keep moving.

Joseph: Moving? What?

-everyone stands up as one, more or less, and starts to file through the doorway. In front of Joseph is Rainbow-

Rainbow: I threw myself into a well. I thought I had a lot of problems, but I really didn't.

Joseph: Hmm...well, do you know where we're going?

-there is a slight pause-

Rainbow: Up.

Maria: To salvation!

Patrick: To the sun...

-they speak with a mixture of longing and uncertainty. Joseph looks about-

Joseph: Well, how big is the ship?

Patrick: Big enough. I've been climbing ever since I was Jo's age, and I'm still doing it.

-he hastens to add, though:-

Patrick: It's not endless, though! There's daylight at the top of a stair, and a few got out...not me, though.

-Jo cuts him off, cheerily-

Jo: Hey look! A skeleton!

-indeed, there is a skeleton, sitting near a dusty old desk. It's too small to be an adult, and has a pirate hat positioned jauntily on top of its head as its empty sockets observe a mountain of gold coins and jewelry. In the oil light, it all sparkles like nothing Joseph had ever seen before. As the white haired boy stares awestruck, Rainbow walks over to the horde as though the skeleton was observing a large pile of cornflakes. She picks up a tool box near its feet, speaking softly and soothingly to it-

Rainbow: Now, we don't need your treasure or your bones. All we need is this, OK?

-the skeleton has no comment, and they move on-

Joseph: ...so are we not going to talk about the massive pile of treasure, or...?

Patrick: We don't take anything we don't need, and we respect the dead.

???: Respect the dead!

-a voice that Joseph didn't recognize speaks up, and no one but Joseph seems to notice. As they walk, they pass by door after closed door. The occasional one hangs open but shows nothing but darkness inside-

Rainbow: Oi! Hurry up, and don't get left behind. We never go downwards.

-she tugs on Joseph's sleeve-

Joseph: OK, OK!

-they keep walking, until they finally reach the end of the seemingly interminable hallway-

Maria: Mierda. Patrick, this is a dead end!

-the doorway leads into a stairway, as dark as oblivion-

Joseph: ...huh? There are stairs right there!

Patrick: No, we don't go where it's dark!

-Joseph pauses, confused-

Joseph: Why? We can just pick up one of the million billion oil lamps!

Patrick: If there's a lit room, we keep it that way! There are other children, and we need to give them safe passage.

-far be it from Joseph to argue to save themselves while dooming others. They keep going-

-before they go too far, Rainbow gives quite a helpful piece of information-

Rainbow: Hey, didn't the pirate kid have an extra candle? We can just go back and get it to light the lamps!

Patrick: Not alone.

Joseph: I'll go with!

-Patrick just responds with a tired sigh. Not really wanting to deal with any sass from the leader, Rainbow and Joseph go down the (thankfully lit) passageway. Joseph's boots are good at covering ground, now that he's adjusted for the rolling of the ship, but Rainbow catches up soon-

Rainbow: Too many people you've never met, huh?

-Joseph shrugs-

Joseph: I like new people! I just don't like it when they only pay attention to me when I have pizza.

Rainbow: Oh, well, you know how tight knit communities can get. I've been meaning to ask you, though...

-she sizes up his outfit-

Rainbow: Were you at a costume party or something?

-Joseph frowns at this, and responds-

Joseph: I could ask the same to you, Rainbow!

-he quietly resists the urge to do a z-snap. Rainbow takes it in stride-

Rainbow: Nah, I wanted to dress like this. This might surprise you, but the parents who named their only daughter Rainbow were sort of hippies. So, I rebelled like teenagers do.

Joseph: Ah. Well, I'm not wearing this by choice. I'm not the...well, now that I think about it, I sorta am.

Rainbow: The what?

Joseph: The Red Riding Hood type. Y'know how it is?

-he smirks-

Joseph: If this were a normal deconstruction of stories, they'd go out of their way to pick the least suitable person for the role possible. But...well, I'm sweet, cheery, energetic, sort of naive...

Rainbow: ...but you're a boy!

Joseph: And you're a blonde. Doesn't stop you from being a goth, now does it?

-Rainbow giggles-

Rainbow: When I jumped in the well it was black with red streaks, but it faded over time.

-they arrive back to the dead pirate kid. The candles are still there in their sticks, where they were left-

Rainbow: This room will do with only one. It's not too big.

-she curtseyed, quite deftly, to the skeleton before taking the candlestick carefully in both hands-

???: Take them both! The darkness and I deserve each other.

-Joseph yelps as he backs against the wall-

Joseph: OK you had to have heard it that time!

-Rainbow doesn't act too freaked out-

Rainbow: You're generous, but we only need one. We can't leave anyone else in the darkness.

-she leaves, quickly, and Joseph follows. His skin is crawling-

-Sarah smirks-

Sarah: Heh... good choice of Shakespeare, I have to say.

Eskay: Seriously, though, probably not a good idea to be walking around drunk...
