Having overheard the conversation over the cartoon - he was able to balance two sources of information at once - Colton rolled his eyes and got up from his seat, approaching the storage closet the key was supposedly in.
If this becomes a fetch quest to find the key out, and we have to scour the entire damned building, I am going to harm someone. With something they're doubly weak to. He decided.
He had his hand on the doorknob and held his breath.

"Well that's concerning," Silas commented.
~Bets on some sort of big monster or evil organization?~
"Seems inevitable Hacks."
The storage closet was uninteresting, save for a few black splotches that had stained the walls, the key was seen next to a cassette player. It had a tape in and ready to play.

"Okay, maybe he was right about this place being a dump," Colton remarked. "Either that or they love their craft."
He picked up the key, noticing the cassette player. He exited the closet.
"Hey, there's a cassette player or something in the storage closet. Anyone else getting tired of this?" He asked everyone there, gesturing to the cartoon.
Rei raised a claw as 9-Volt chittered in affirmative. <It wears out its charm!>

<Nope! Not getting through,> Malice said.
"Worth a try, Malice," Etran said.

"'Kay, then," the Unovan decided. "Everyone who's curious about some dated VCR potentially showing something different, c'mon." He returned to the closet and sat down directly in front of the VCR, but kept an eye on the door for all who entered.
Rei and 9-Volt, being the fastest 'mons on his team, were there before he was, to the point where he had to return them so they'd wait.

Amélie comes and watches the VCR.
Amélie: "Not complaining, but... A DVD is like... less than 500pokés ? Maybe less...?"

"This is probably a bad idea," Etran commented as he followed into the storage closet.

"Is that everyone?" Colton asked, looking at those who had made their way to the closet, looking at the screen the VCR was attached to. "Alrighty." He released his 'mons, Rei jamming a claw into the play button, 9-Volt setting himself beside Colton.

Who said it was a old VHS player? I said cassette player, as in tape deck
the cassette deck played, static came from its speakers at first, then out crackled- "-An you believe it? Alan had another bright idea today, after the series of events that drove Tex out he wants to try something else. Claims he found something important and all of a sudden had architects and engineers to "repurpose" the facility. Lotta crap if you as-" the tape cut.
The stains on the wall were now bigger for some reason.

Colton stared at the screen.
Rei stared at the screen.
9-Volt stared at the screen.
One of them coughed. "So this place's downfall started with a decision to branch out," Colton summarized. Rei was starting to get a little claustrophobic. 9-Volt saw the splotches on the wall.
<Here's the key,> Rei announced, holding it up. <now let's get the heck outta here.>

Amélie: "..Rejoice everyone! A crappy tape played. It's definitely a spooky animation."
She looks sorta annoyed by this, laying back and looking at the stains on the wall.
"...Is the building literally moistening by the second...?"

Etran looks at the wall. "Malice, you'd better not be playing jokes on me."
Malice shrugs. <If it was me, I'd tell you. Either way, looks like the fun's going to start soon.>
Etran sighs. "Either way, wonder what they repurposed this place into."
Etran turns to face the door.

The door is... Still there, but much flatter looking. Hell the doorknobs are gone.
Wait what.
The doorknobs are but images upon the door, in fact the door appears to have a peeling corner as well. As if the door is a giant sticker stuck on.

Etran looks at where the door was. "Well, that's not good. Phasing won't work. Any other way to get out?"
<Send out Erebus, and use Firium Z to burn this place down?> Malice suggested.
"We'll, uh, save that for a last resort, Malice," Etran said.

While contemplating if someone closed the door behind them, he didn’t notice Rei return herself. Her Pokéball was deceptively spacious.
“Trapdoor? Inexplicable new door? A hallway forming?
“Why didn’t I bring Lucario; he’d know if we’re being illusion’d or something.” 9-Volt muttered something about D.C..
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]
"Oh yeah," Silas said, "A bunch. Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma, Flare... Something about skull for certain."
Hacks nodded, ~Our world is beset by these weirdos.~
Amelie proceeds to peel the door stick right off. Revealing a blank spot covered in more inky stains, everything around them is pretty much starting to get inky.
Soft clicking can be heard down the hall further, as the projector seems to change the cartoon to a image of Zachary running a gauntlet.

Zoroark: <Hey, look. New one's on.>
Jones: <We... might want to watch out for the blots.>

Etran grabs Siku's Pokeball.
Ashley: I was running from this... this thing. On Exeggutor Island.

Before that... blank.
