Mt. Moon
Me: I'm just wondering...
What will happen when we find Necrozma? Will we have to fight it? Is there any way of negotiating with it? This is my first time on an adventure of THIS caliber, so I don't truly know what to expect... So I hope you can forgive my enthusiasm... and my asking...

-someone arrives 15 hours late with starbucks-
Channah: -sidling in, to no one in particular- Don't mind me. I've been here the whole time.
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.Pewter City PC
Blitz: -Shakes his head at the "not your friend" comment- "Nah, that's fair"
-And he pauses-
"That depends, how much do you think you'll regret not going?"
Fortis: Oh! What if we got like a really big floodlight and shined it on them, would that work?
Noelle: Hmm... I doubt it. The theory seems sound, but if this thing's hunger is big enough to devour all sunlight, then even if we brought it every light bulb in the world it wouldn't be enough.
Fortis: Hm... then what should we do?
Astral: <Leave.>
Fortis: Nuh uh, we already talked about this!
Forte: Coming up next, it's the one I already mentioned before. Yep, this is the time travel one.
-...-
Forte: Well, it's not the only time travel one, but whatever, you know what I mean. This is the one where Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic team up.
-...-
Forte: Yeah, partnering with your alternate self is weird.
-...-
Forte: Okay, so story time. This actually happened to me once. No, I'm serious! It was after Mew was being fickle with me again and not letting me transform back to human for a week, so then Celebi heard and brought in me from a week in the future. And basically, I had to live that week twice and the second time it was like I knew exactly what my past self would do, because I already did it the first week and...
-Forte sighs-
Forte: At least I didn't have to deal with any time eater trying to erase my past.
-...-
Forte: No wait, that did happen! This one time, when my sister was trying to fix a paradox, she and I ended up both getting wiped from the timeline. Uh, I think... actually it was just us floating in a void for... uh. I guess how long doesn't really matter because it was outside of time. Yeah, kinda like the white space between levels here.
-...-
Forte: And chat, this is why you shouldn't mess with time travel. Seriously, just stay away.

Time seemed to freeze to allow Silversmith to ponder his decision.
Silversmith: Regret not going? Well, there would be me not fulfilling my obligation to the world to stand up for the greater good... On the other hand, the world has this well in hand. What difference would I make? On the other hand, if everyone thought like that, no one would go. Besides, if I'm gonna deal with my... fear, sooner would be better than later. *Internal sigh* Do I have to though? Can't I just go through life and not?
His father's words flashed through his mind.
Silversmith Sr.: "Son, never run from your problems. It never works out. Trust me, I know from experience."
Silversmith: *Internal sigh* I'm gonna regret this... *Imagine spot of Silversmith getting scratched by a were-mon on accident*... No!
Silversmith: "I have to go. If I don't go when the world doesn't need me, how can I trust myself to go when it does? I've lost enough honor today. To not go would bring yet more dishonor on my name. By my troth! *slams table lightly* I shall go! And I shall do whatever I can to stop the light ending thing, be it fight or aid!"
Cortez: <Hooray! Thanks Blitz.>
Silversmith: "If I had a hat, I would tip it to you, then rearrange it and walk out. Remind me to get an awesome hat at some point, Cortez."
Cortez: <Will do!... We forgot to get clothspins back at Castelia!>
The duo prepared to leave.
Mt Moon
-Lila and co arrive.-
Roger: <Huh? My light's gone out!>
Kat: Look! There's something moving in there!
Lila: It must be Necrozma!
Eva: Aww, it's too dark for photos!
Merah: <I'd have thought you'd have gotten serious by now.>
Eva: Serious? Me? Did you hit your head on something?

Bastion's flashlight would turn off.
Bastion: Huh?
Sephy's lantern would also stop working.
Sephy: What's going on? Why are all the lights going out?
Milagros: It must be Necrozma eating all the light...

Me: I can't see a thing... Hey Piku-chan...
Piku-chan: <Yeah, pal?>
Me: Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?
Piku-chan: <I think so, but with all this darkness, we'd need TM Flash to get a scope of where we are...>
Me: EXACTLY! Let's do this!
-I take the TM Flash out of my Bag and give it to Piku-chan-
Piku-chan and I: <Let's Light 'em Up!
-PIKU-CHAN LEARNED FLASH!-
Me: Now, Piku-chan! Use Flash!!
Piku-chan: <On it!>
-Piku-chan rubs his cheeks quickly, generating a spark which then bursts into a bright light-
Me: Way to go, buddy!
-Just then, the bright light disappears-
Piku-chan and I: <OH, COME ON!!

Blitz: -Nods- "Happy to help! Just take care out there"
-He waves Silversmith and Cortez off, but remains seated at the Pokemon Center for now-
-A Greninja pops up behind him shortly after-
Genji: <Weren't you supposed to give them the bill for Erzatz's dry cleaning?>
Blitz: "True. But I think his learning to deal with his fear is more important right now"
Genji: <Ah! Of course.>
Blitz: -sighs- "Though that probably means it's coming out of my paycheck instead..."
Mt. Moon, yesterday
All the light seems to be going away... or is it actually also ambient Aura?

Silversmith left the Pokemon center confident. However, it had gotten significantly darker since he entered. He tried to retrace his steps, but it was difficult to see. He deployed Armando the Litwick.Armando: <Let me guess: armageddon?>
Silversmith: "Probably. We're going to throw our hat in the ring."
Armando: <So we're just gonna storm the castle—I mean cave and pray for a miracle?>
Silversmith: "No. Strength in numbers. There's a horde of presumably good people out to stop it. We go now to join them."
The path was barely illuminated by Armando's flame. The trio advanced cautiously.
Mt. Moon square
Silversmith: "It's deserted. Everybody must have went inside."
Armando: <And the captain obvious award goes to Jackson! Congratulations!>
Silversmith: "Now is not the time."
Suddenly, Silversmith received a call.
Silversmith: "Yes? Dad? ...They didn't show up? Jerks. ...Oh yea, all the light is gone. I'm at Mt. Moon right now... Yea, that's where the evil psychic thingie is centralized... Really? Great. ...Understood. Goodbye."
Silversmith had a feeling that that was the last time he would speak to his father. They entered the cave.
Mt Moon, outer cave
The small light illuminated even less in the cave. Then, none at all. A jutting rock scratched Silversmith's left arm.Silversmith: "CRAP!"
Armando: <Is that in reference to the fact that we're still alone, or that we can't see anything?>
Silversmith: "No, I got scratched by something!... If that was some were-mon, it's to late now. Let's focus."
Being unable to see actually assuaged Silversmith's fear. The trio ventured deeper into the cave.
Mt Moon, inner cave
The trio heard the murmurs and conversation of the other attendants. They remained silent, hoping to go unnoticed. Silversmith was glad to have his eyes essentially closed by the dark.Edited by arishipshape on Mar 30th 2019 at 7:07:32 AM

-Lucius smiles at Halsei.-
Lucius: No need to worry about that. Whatever this is, however big it turns out to be, we'll deal with it, and then we can get back to our own worries.
-He notices the dimming of light and the signs of movement deeper within the mountain.-
Lucius: ...Something's happening. C'mon, let's move.

Mason: Not a fan of the dark.
-Vierr stares at him.-
Vierr: You, of all people?
Mason: Not everyone has Aura Sense!
Vierr: I know! You just seemed like the last person to be afraid of the dark.
Rose: I don't blame him, honestly. Uh, Scarlette, in the spirit of the buddy system, can I hold your hand? Or would that make things awkward?
Scarlette: Feel free.
Rose: Thanks.
Mason: ...Hey, Vierr—
Vierr: No.
Mason: Asshole.

-Pent has wandered into here, looking very concerned about all this lack of light. While he's not advocating for some kind of world of light, he doesn't particularly want a world of absolutely no light-

Isbrand: "I...would say we should try a flashlight or something but I feel like that won't work."
"Remind me to build some night-vision goggles..."

Shadow bumps into something and curses.Shadow: Aagh! I can't see SH- -coughs- Can either of you two see anything?
Maverick: -bumps into a wall and yelps- <Ow! Nope, can't see anything.>
Mischief: <Nothing doing. It's darker than a Dark Pulse in here.>
Shadow: Ugh, great. IS ANYONE ELSE IN HERE?!
Shadow's echo returns his question, as if mocking him.
Shadow: Oh, an echo. Hmm... -smirks- ECHO!!!
His echo returns at least a dozen times over.
Shadow: Heh. Always wanted to do that. -frowns- That doesn't fix the lighting, or lack thereof.

Morgan and Ari would walk by wearing helmets with lights strapped on.
Morgan: Okay, Morgan, just stay calm.
Ari: <What's they're to worry about?: We're only up against Necrozma!
The lights on their helmets would turn off.
Morgan and Ari: [in unison] <Oh no...>

Morgan and Ari would both let out screams. Colin ran forth with his mons.
Colin: Okay, let's do this...
Milagros would also run forth.
Milagros: On your command, Colin.
He would release Baby Cat, Blitz and Dot.

Eris continues cautiously into the darkness. She pulls out a... well, it's a walky-talky. Well, two of them. She tosses one to Lif and walks a few feet away.
They still communicate just fine.
Eris: "Well, that's good. Better than last time we were in a similar situation, at least."
Lifthrasir: ~Yes, it is.~
Eris: "Let's go."
The glow of Eris' eyes has dimmed... far less than one might expect, and taken on a very staticky sheen.
Eris staggers a bit from the Hyper Voice
Red basically ignores it, and Lifthrasir winces.
Eris: "Psychic moves... Necrozma is a Psychic type, I think. Red, what can you do?"
Red nods, and fires a Dark Pulse in the general direction Lifthrasir directs her to, based on the where the psychicness is coming from.

Silversmith: "The thought never entered my mind. You make good points. I would rather avoid the weirdness myself, so forgive me if I don't consider myself among your friends."
Cortez: <Don't be rude!>
Silversmith: "...Again, forgive me."
Cortez: <Ok, now what? Are you just gonna avoid everyone?>
Silversmith: "Looks like it. I'm stuck in Kanto for the time being, but I'll take my leave—"
Cortez: <What about when you go to the library?>
Silversmith: "..."
Cortez: <What about when you go on vacation?>
Silversmith: "..."
Cortez: <I don't think you're cut out to be a hermit. You're gonna have to deal with other people sooner or later. Why not now?>
Silversmith considered for a bit.
Silversmith: "...You have a point. Sir, I mean, Blitz, should I go to Mt moon? "
