Location: Still Unknown Depths
There have been weirder things, and this is just about the average dose of weirdness taking the form of an adventure to the unknown. Your path is barred by a talking Pokémon known as Chansey. You, along with Cuddles and Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic, stand on the opposing side trying to defeat her. Things however took a rather complicated turn, prolonging the length of a conflict between 'probably' misunderstood factions.
In spite of her prejudice toward you and Cuddles, the Chansey appears more tender to your frightened Houndoom, tending him with an egg she offered. Though, Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic doesn't look comfortable with what's going on, even with her trying to console him, he only resisted in taking it. Watching them now is a waste of time, and if trying to break their moment with violence isn't an option...
...Of course! Why wouldn't anyone? You delve in your hand inside the bag, producing a Poké Ball after it resurfaces. With less input to your spontaneous gesture, you quickly throw the Poké Ball right at the Chansey.
"Whoa-" However, Chansey anticipated the incoming machine and swiftly avoided it. "Ha! You miss- ouch!" But the rough surfaces made the Poké Ball to ricochet back right onto her back, hard. She flinches, and the next thing that happens, is that she is misshapen into a white glow, pulling her into the aloft machine with an evident angry groan. The voice is put to a mute as soon as it closes itself, falls stiffly onto the floor, shakes violently, and as you withdraw Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic back to his own, the Poké Ball eventually stops followed with a sudden click.
Congratulations, you just caught a new Pokémon that's just as weird as your first!
How very convenient! But even with her out of the way, you're kind of back to square one -- the branching paths in front of you. The middle path, where the Chansey seems to be coming from might lead you back to the surface somehow. That leaves with both right and left paths that are the ones you have yet to discover. Moreover, the mysterious voice is still within the air. Chansey might know something about 'it', though unlikely, there are circumstances where she could try rebelling over her new Trainer if given the chance now.
Sounds like you're back to what you're supposed to do -- making a choice. Now, what should you do?
- To the path on the left. Besides, Cuddles had a good feeling that there might be something in there.
- To the path on the right. Could it be the right way?
- To the path on the middle where Chansey comes from. It should lead you to the surface.
