ReGenesis Games: Final Level

Gale looked back at the volcano. It was really starting to blow. And the ground beneath her...shaking like there was no tomorrow. Gale began panicking, but knew that wasn't the right thing to do. She dashed towards the volcano, as if she had a death wish. It was then she noticed what seemed to be other players.

"On one side...a Marowak (possibly the same one I met earlier) is riding a Rapidash. And on the other...a Latias and Absol. Perhaps they're friends, perhaps they're foes... I'm quite unsure of such..." Gale muttered. "And...there are probably other beings in this game, but instead of running through the levels like us...they perhaps wish to see our demise..." She shuddered at the thought, and then returned her attention to the volcano. If I don't get to level 3 soon, it'll be game over, Gale thought.
 
Muttering under his breath, Grem watched as a skull and crossbones appeared over the pikachu's image on his Cid. "Of all the Players I could've pick, I chose one that couldn't even get past the first level! I'm really not suited to be a Chaser." He closed his eyes and went over the list of Players in his head, trying to find one that suited him.

"Snorlax?... No, too big. Absol?.... No, that one's taken. Poliwag?.... No, he got eaten by a centipede." When his mind drifted back to the Glaceon he'd met, he considered it for several seconds. I don't want to kill her but is she really any different from any other Players? If I have to chose one, it might as well be her. I have little choice.... Most of the others already have Chasers assigned. I'll do it.

Although the thought of killing made him a little sick to his stomach, he reminded himself that this was only a game. None of this was real. No matter how it might seem otherwise, this was only a game. Fortified with his resolve, he was about to start searching for the Glaceon when the ground began to shake violently.

"What the heck!?" Looking down at Cid, he read, Warning: Volcano is about to erupt. Reaching his mind out to his fellow Chasers, he realized validity of the warning. "Already?" He flinched as a hoard of bats flew past his face, fleeing the fury of the volcano. Growling at the erupting volcano, he followed them, alert for any danger around him.
 
Mark looked at Starlight, who had stopped to look at a passing Latias.

"Do you want to sit there and oogle a rare pokemon and die? Or get going to save our own tails?!" Mark shouted at Starlight. The ground rumbled once more, and heat filled the air around them.

"By the way, not like this is time for small talk, but my name is Mark. Nice to meet you, Starlight." Mark said cheerily, patting the Rapidash's back.

"Now, GIDDYAP!" He yelled enthusiastically, pointing his bone forward.
 
Gale noticed that the two pairs were ready to head off. Better follow them, she thought. To be safe, she hid behind some of the many trees, so they wouldn't notice her following her.

Gale had always been stealthy. Well, most of the time anyways. She made sure she stayed out of sight. But then, the unexpected happened.

The flute. The flute was playing again, Gale was sure of it. She froze up, remembering the cold experience from a while back. She looked around to make sure the Gengar wasn't there. H-how? It can't be... Gale shuddered as the flute continued playing that familiar haunting melody. As the melody continued, Gale lost track of time itself, but only for a split second. All she could think about was the flute that played. Playing, and playing, and playing...

"Why?" Gale asked. "WHY?!" She shuddered again, and tried to block out the flute from her mind, but it just wouldn't stop playing that same haunting, unique melody...

Level 2: The Black Forest (Continued)

Lukai was surprised on how fast the Latias acted. So surprised that when it questioned him he wasn't thinking straight. "Oh, I am a Player and even if I wasn't there is no way i could harm you, oh and about the signal beam sorry.. heh my bad I was aiming a bit to the left of you, but being this small distorts your visions, making it hard to aim correctly.." He walked closer,"and don't even ask how I am so small, I dont really know all I know is a centipede wanted strawberries these owl things wanted white berries..." he trailed off not wanting to annoy the pokemon who could tear him to shreds. He looked down and began kicking a rock. <Right... no time to mess around I have to ask why they are running..> "If it isn't too much to ask, what are you running for?" he questioned moments before the volcano smoke reached his nose."A-a volcano?" he said more of a question than a statement.

Lukai sighed,"Well I will be left here to die in this.. this mess.." he looked very gloomy. He saw other various creatures skittering across the ground, including some moles, who dearly hated him, well some of them. <Man... I wish I knew how to grow big again...> Soon he saw birds and bats take to the sky, letting out loud screeches when they got pelted with the molten rocks. A rock landed net to Lukai, it was a tiny rock but to the tiny pokemon it looked like a beautiful comet. <That is amazing..., I have to get out of here alive.. I have to see her face once more before I die..> he thought, making him determined to come out alive so that he could see her face again.

Pop Pop Pop BAM! That was the sound of tiny rocks popping out of the volcano then a rather big one that hit a tree, causing it to snap. "Hey, um Miss Latias c-could you help me get out of this forest?" he asked in a simple tone not wanting to sound demanding. "Oh, by the way my name is Lukai, what is yours... and yours?" he asked looking at the red flying pokemon and then at the Absol. He walked a bit closer and then waited for their answers. He noticed that he was being stared down by the Absol.
 
Feeling peeved, she watched as her prey demanded its way onto a Rapidash and vanished. There was no way she could match the Rapidash's speed! She grumbled to herself for a moment, watching as a Snorlax (to Amethyst's amusement) passed overhead. She felt the brush of someone's mind touching hers and she mentally reached out and pulled at his mind. Aah. Gremlin. Eagerly, she connected her mind to his. She'd heard about him. And god, he was interesting.

<Hello, Gremlin?> she thought hesitantly at him. <Er, this is Amethyst? I don't think we've met but I've heard about you...> Was that the wrong thing to say?

<So, have you picked your prey, yet?> She ran downhill as she thought. Away from the volcano - yes, that was the right direction.
 
Gale couldn't keep her mind off the flute. It seemed to be...hammering into her head, trying so desperately to make her remember the haunting tune. Gale leaned down onto the ground and put her paws over her ears, trying to make it stop. But, with the ground rumbling, her paws kept swinging back and forth, making Gale unable to cover her ears for even a second.

"Please... Stop... I beg of you..." she cried out in angst. The flute's melody still poured into her head, not even ceasing to stop for one moment. At this rate, I'll be dead because of this flute, Gale thought, wincing at the thought. She peered around, trying to figure out where the sound was coming from. Not in the trees, not behind me, but WHERE? Gale wondered. She winced again t the thought of dying, then calmly closed her eyes.

"The flute..." Gale murmured, "is coming from my left. But the one playing it is not close. Where are they... I can't exactly tell..." Gale opened her eyes and peered to the left. The flute definitely sounded louder over there.

"I wonder... Can anyone else hear it this time?" Gale looked over towards the Marowak and Rapidash, but it didn't seem as if they could hear the flute at all.

"So it's just me that's cursed, huh..."

As he ran away from the volcano, he flinched a bit when someone reacted to his mind touch and mentally pulled back at his mind. He wasn't used to anyone wanting to start a conversation with him.

<Hello, Gremlin?> he heard a voice hesitantly say. <Er, this is Amethyst? I don't think we've met but I've heard about you...> He wasn't surprised by her words since he figured everyone had heard about the Chaser who'd never killed. Amethyst.... He may have heard her name before but with so many Chasers, it was heard to be sure.

<So, have you picked your prey, yet?> He chuckled both physically and mentally as he thought of the bad luck he'd had so far.

<Well, I picked a Pikachu, but the little rat didn't even get past Lvl 1. I've now chosen a Glaceon, and now I have to find her again.> He told her about his encounter with the Glaceon by the old tree, leaving out the part about how relieved he was when she left. <Why do you ask?> he asked, a little suspicious. He jumped to the side as a flaming rock hit a tree nearby.

It's getting more dangerous around here, he thought to himself. It wasn't long before the tree caught on fire, quickly spreading to the surrounding trees and vegetation. He hurriedly ran around the fire, fearing that the fire would cut off his escape route. By now, he was already pretty far from the volcano so he figured that there were plenty of Players and Chasers still behind him. <That's going to kill some Players.> he told Amethyst grimly, sending her an image of the fire with his mind. <Better hurry before it spreads too much.>

A pause and then she had her response.

<Well, I picked a Pikachu, but the little rat didn't even get past Lvl 1. I've now chosen a Glaceon, and now I have to find her again.>

Amethyst smirked to herself, but Gremlin went on.

<Why do you ask?> His thoughts were tinged with suspicion. She suddenly saw raging flames in her mind, and the distinctive scent of sulfur reached even her dimunutive nostrils. <That's going to kill some Players.> Gremlin thought grimly, <Better hurry before it spreads too much.>

She laughed as she ran away from the flames - she could see them now, a fair distance away, but she had to hurry up!

<You sound almost concerned about the players.> she giggled. <How silly! You do know they'll die either way, correct? But...> she added soberly, <I suppose I get it, though. I hate it when my prey dies too early. Just had to save it a few minutes ago. Stepped on a beedrill stinger. Pft! What an idiot. It's a Marowak, y'see. I never found them too bright.> Amethyst rolled her many eyes, giggling. <But hey, all Pokemon aren't very smart, either... What strange creatures, though.> As she scrambled through the forest, as fast as her little body would take her, it occurred to Amethyst - perhaps Gremlin was younger than her! That would explain his reluctance to kill. A delight lit in her chest. She was one of the very youngest chasers - most were at least 16 mentally - and Amethyst was often considered a child. She hated it. Oh, how delightful it would be to learn that Gremlin was, in fact, younger than she!
 
"Oh, I am a Player and even if I wasn't there is no way i could harm you, oh and about the signal beam sorry.. heh my bad I was aiming a bit to the left of you, but being this small distorts your visions, making it hard to aim correctly..." the tiny Shinx replied, walking towards Arin. She backed up ever so slightly, this was quite weird. "And don't even ask how I am so small, I don't really know all I know is a centipede wanted strawberries these owl things wanted white berries..."

Make that really weird. Centipedes were carnivores, since when did they eat strawberries?

"If it isn't too much to ask, what are you running for? A-a volcano?" he asked.

Well, if you've already got it figured out, then why are you asking? Arin thought.

The tiny Shinx sighed sadly. "Well I will be left here to die in this.. this mess.." He looked around. Volcano bombs and a light rain of ash was now falling, coating everything with a gray fluffy layer of pulverized rock. "Hey, um Miss Latias c-could you help me get out of this forest? Oh, by the way my name is Lukai, what is yours... and yours?"

Arin glanced at Lukai wearily, then flew over and scooped him up in one paw, holding him close against her chest, then flying back towards Aya. Miss Latias... never heard that one before... "My name's Arin," she informed the Shix, "And yes, we're running from that volcano over there."

Within seconds, they had reached Aya again, who was still staring down the vampire-thing. It was fascinating, in a hideous, horrible kind of way, and Arin once again felt the desire to grab a stick and poke it. Resisting her urge, she said to Aya, "We better get moving again." Looking around, there was that Rapidash-riding Marowak again, and now there was a Glaceon nearby. More players, but they could probably handle themselves. Rapidash could run about as fast Arin could fly near ground level. Whether they could outrun a volcanic eruption, remained to be seen. "Let's go," she said again, and began moving forward.

A loud squawk from behind caught her attention, and she craned her head around to see. Through a hole in the forest canopy made by a large rock crashing through the forest, there was a Pidgeot flying through the air.

Fwoosh. Arin's eyes got as wide as they ever had been, and she watched in horror as an enormous, fat worm with two immense mandibles shot up out of the ground, and like some obscene roller coaster ride on invisible tracks, flew into the air. It opened its gaping maw; you could have driven a freight train into its mouth; and in a single gulp, swallowed the Pidgeot whole.

And now it was coming at them. Arin flew at Aya, pushing him out of the way, as the gigantic Death Worm slashed into the ground next to them. Within a single second it was entirely in the ground, leaving an immense hole, like a subway tunnel, in the ground.

Arin sat there lying on the ground against Aya for a while, shaking violently out of sheer terror. Another volcano bomb landed nearby, causing her to snap out of her stupor, and she floated back up. "Sorry," she apologized to Aya, then checked Lukai, still tucked up against her chest by her paw. He didn't look too troubled, and she was glad, for she could probably crush him accidentally. "Let's go."

She turned around and started flying through the forest at a pace Aya could keep up with, glad that all he could see of her was her back. She was still trembling slightly from the worm, and she bit down on her bottom lip. It was somewhat of a wake-up call; she had never realized before that she could be as absolutely terrified like that, unable to even think, or move. That had been the single most terrifying event of her life.

Unfortunantly for Arin, there would only be more record-breakers in that catagory.
 
"You say 'giddy up one more time, Mark, I swear I'll strap you to my leg and make sure you fall into the lava." I threatened. I reared up as something rose from the ground as a Pidgeot flew over it.

They looked similar to tentacles.

That thing. It ate that Pidgeot. I shivered.

Then I saw the Latias run in the other direction with a Shinx after introducing herself as Arin.

I followed her, soon right beside the Latias, who was fleeing.

"What was that thing?" I asked, easily keeping up. "Also, don't wory. I'm a player." I added.
 
"Well then, aren't we a fiesty one?" Mark said in a mocking tone. As Mark finished his sentance he witnessed a Pidgeot fly by.

"Hey! Another Play-...oh.." Mark said grimly as the Pidgeot was eaten by a weird, centipede like thing.

"Well then..Thats just weird.." Mark said aloud. He then realized they were moving again, right beside a Latias. He heard Starlight introduce herself and he felt he should do the same.

"Hey. Name's Mark." He said simply, while saluting the Latias with his bone.

"Don't see many of you legends around at all." He said. He was pretty astounded that he was meeting a legned face-to-face.

He once saw Ho-Oh flying through the skies one day, but that's not as awesome as talking to a Latias.
 
The Rapidash rapidly (no pun intended) caught up to Arin, running alongside her. They both had to do quite a bit of dodging and weaving between the trees; this was a forest, not an open plain, and neither of them could run (or fly) at all-out speed.

"What was that thing? Also, don't worry. I'm a player," the Rapidash said. It obviously wasn't running very hard, seeing as how it could talk without even panting for breath.

Arin nodded, keeping her eyes focused in front of her. She had more problems dodging trees, due to the fact that she was wider, and had wings. One of the most accursed things about her body was that her wings could not bend. It was a strange act of Arceus. The only other things she saw that had non-flexible wings were airplanes and gliders, both human creations. Oh sure, she didn't have to flap, instead merely willing herself through the air. But flexibility came in handy when one had to fit in through a tight space. Like now.

"I could tell," Arin replied grimly, eyes still focused in front. "Some kind of megaworm with giant mandibles." An involuntary shudder ran through her body, recalling her close call. She looked down at Lukai for a split second to check how he was doing. In short, as fine as someone that small could be.

"Hey. Name's Mark," the Marowak riding the Rapidash greeted, tilting his bone in salute. Arin wondered where that bone came from. "Don't see many of you legends around at all."

"That's why we're legends," Arin replied, allowing a small, grim smile to cross her face. "My name's Arin, what's yours?" She glanced behind her to check on Aya. He was doing an excellent job of keeping up, and was right on their tails. "Think you can go a bit faster, Aya?" she called back to him.

While waiting for the reply, she looked around them, and suddenly realized something: They were running through a valley. Which, considering the volcano erupting behind them, was the second to last place they wanted to be. Second only to being at the volcano, that is. They had to get to higher ground. "We need to move up these embankments," she called out again, and began to sway towards the right, making a gradual turn up the side of the valley so they could go without losing speed.
 
Giggling at Grem, Amethyst replied, <You sound almost concerned about the players. How silly! You do know they'll die either way, correct? But...> Just as Grem was starting to feel foolish she added soberly, <I suppose I get it, though. I hate it when my prey dies too early. Just had to save it a few minutes ago. Stepped on a beedrill stinger. Pft! What an idiot. It's a Marowak, y'see. I never found them too bright. But hey, all Pokemon aren't very smart, either... What strange creatures, though.>

<It's not that I'm concerned for the Players. It's just disappointing that they die so easily. That's all.> he insisted, his face flushing a bit. She'd struck a chord in him that he didn't even realize existed. I'm not concerned, am I? At least she found another reason for my statement that didn't sound so wimpy.....

<You saved your prey?> he asked, slightly surprised. After thinking for a moment, he added <Well, I've always found Pokemon to be more interesting than humans. Humans, after all, aren't very tuned in to nature, don't have special abilities, and are basically pretty frail.> He could sense her getting closer, though he couldn't see her. Standing several feet from the entrance of a valley, he could see the fire beginning to burn along the edge of it as if it was alive and refused to let any escape its wrath. He decided to stick around and see which Players survived.

Climbing up a tall tree, he scanned the valley and surrounding area. He spotted a Latias, Absol, Rapidash, and Marowak-which wasn't hard with the Rapidash's flames-running toward the edge of the valley, desperately trying to get out of the path of the volcano. He considered slowing them down so they wouldn't make it, but the Glaceon wasn't with him and causing the death of a Player that wasn't your prey could easily get you killed yourself by an angry Chaser.

<Are you going to do anything yet? The Marowak's yours, right?> he asked Amethyst, curious to see what kind of powers she had.
 
Lukai all of a sudden just grew big again, weighing down Arin, causing her to go towards the ground, his front paws scraping the ground below. Lukai gave a kick with his hind legs wanting to be free. He hit the ground face first but quickly got up. <No time to loose ground now..> he began to run just as fast as the Absol, then even faster. "Oh, Arin I am sorry for kicking.. just the urge to be normal again.." he didn't know if the words came out correct he didn't even think so but just kept on running. He noticed the Latias and other pokemon make begin to make a gradual right turn so he followed.

<Man, It feels good to be normal size, to think I was gonna find strawberries for that centipede when all I had to do was wait...> Lukai's head began to hurt again due to the battle with the mole. <This is only level two...I wonder how many more there are...> Pop! Pop! Pop! Rocks just kept on coming making a loud popping noise, ash was every making it a bit hard to breathe. Soon a loud noise filled his ears it was an even louder Pop, but at the same time a bang. <Has the side of the volcano exploded?> he wonderd still close to his group.<I wonder.. if I will ever see her again...> He noticed that their was less trees in this area. <Not a lot of trees, wonder why..> he came to the conclusion that it didn't matter.

"Hey, guys, how much longer is this foresty thing?" he asked another question not waiting for an answer,"how many levels do you s'pose there is?" There was a pause after he asked that. <What.. did I mess up..> his smile turned to a frown. <I hope I didn't mess up...> As Lukai looked back he still couldn't see lava. <Was that loud popping sound the volcano or not..?> he was confused, but glad that their was no visible lava. The pause still continued as him and the small group ran along. His legs grew weak as if they would collapse at any moment,but there was no way he would show him being a weak little pokemon, not when they all had first met.
 
(Ooc: Sorry for the shortness of the post, I felt obligated to say what happened to Chicho, although there wasn't really that much:P)

Level 2 cont.

After dozing off, Chicho woke up on high ground. After completely regaining his health back, Chicho realized that he had been taken to a mountain high enough in the forest to be safe from the volcano's eruption, then looking closer, he noticed the volcano beginning to crack and erupt.

(pop)

(pop)

(BANG!)

With a deep sigh, he then thought to himself: <I am so glad that I didn't have to run from that> Then noticing on the distance a myriad of creatures running away from the volcano, he told himself, a little disappointed: "Keh. To think I'm only alive for relying on the strength of the wildlife, how can I expect to survive any longer in this place?"

"I need to make an alliance!" Then looking back at the herd of bat/monkeys climbing farther up the mountain while hissing at him he thought: <Maybe I should start looking for candidates somewhere else>

(pop)

(BANG!)

The loud noise took demanded Chicho's attention, as he turned around, he saw the trees next to the volcano to start lighting up. "It's finally starting"
 
The flute stopped. It just...stopped. After an hour of torturing Gale, it stopped. Relieved, Gale stood on all fours again, and looked around.

"Hey!!!" she called out. "Can anyone hear me!!!" She was hoping to find at least someone else who was alive and part of this treacherous game as well. She knew it could attract enemies, but didn't care at this point.

"SOMEBODY!!! ANYBODY!!! PLEASE!!! I'm all alone, and need guidance. Please. Please..." Gale's voice was getting scratchy from yelling. Shoot, she thought.

(Sorry for the short post. I'm at my house, and I need to leave now, so I won't have 'net connection for much longer.)
 
OOC: Sorry, I here now!

IC: Ninekun felt herself coming to her senses, and sat up, watching the Abusoru and Ratiasu get away. She cursed under her breath - but still, they hadn't known who she was. That was good, at least. She rubbed her forehead and began hovering once more, feeling slightly tired but awake enough to continue the Game.

Tired?

Why was she tired?

She was a program...she couldn't be tired.

Sighing, she continued her chase of the two Pokemon and told herself that if Kumori wasn't going to Chase the Ratiasu, she might do it herself. But only if she was certain - she wouldn't risk his anger.

It came to her in a wave...the Glacia needed help. She rolled her eyes - it wasn't scheduled for her to die yet. It looked like the first clue was needed.

Ninekun disappeared and reappeared next to the Glacia, daring her to look upon her vampiric form. She said, grudgingly, <Look, I'll help you, but only because you need to be killed later. This isn't your appointed time.> She could feel how sarcastic she was being - it came off of her in waves.

<You heard about the clues we'd give you. So anyway, here's the first one.>

Ninekun became smaller until she was maybe an inch tall. She rested lightly on Glacia's head and held onto her ear. <If you attack me, you die,> she said calmly. <Now, start running in the ways I tell you to. I'll need your perspective, that's why I'm on you. Now. Straight ahead. Full speed. Go to the left after the forked path.>

OOC: Perspective change is always fun XD
 
Surprised at the creature's response, Gale nodded, but lightly, so the creature wouldn't fall off. She began trotting towards the direction she was told to go, then her trotting turned into running. She ran through the woods like the creature told her, making sure nothing was following her every once in a while. She almost missed the fork in the road and hit the tree. She braked just in time, and went to the left, like the person also told her.

So... I'm not appointed to die yet, huh... Well, that's fortunate for me, I guess... Gale thought to herself. But who is this exactly? They aren't like me at all... Are they human, or a program like that Gengar? Gale was dying to ask, but was afraid that the creature might not take it well. And she said she'd kill me if I attacked her. Maybe she is against someone like me after all. BUT, I shouldn't assume things. That'd be wrong... Gale sighed, and continued running, awaiting the creature's next instructions.

(OOC: Sorry, couldn't think of anything else Gale could call Ninekun, so she's "creature" to her unless you say something else otherwise XD)
 
Good. The Glacia wasn't resisting as she'd anticipated. She continued giving directions to it and then, when she reached the highest ground she could find, one that the volcano wasn't about to burst lava all over, Ninekun jumped off, growing to normal size again. She stared at Glacia for a while, and then said, <You do have an appointed time. And you will die. Just not by me.>

She flew off and imagined what must be going through the Glacia's mind right now.

OOC: Extreeeeeeme writer's block XD
