The Everlasting Pokémon Journey

[HyperMorian]

...that the Galvantula residing atop has collars on them, they must be controlled by Team Flare. Instead of using Flamethrower, you decided to sent out Gengar if she can remove them just like on how she did with the admins before. Giving a smile and a nod, it quickly approaches them effortlessly removing the collar they had on their neck. This frees them from control and it seems they're turning obedient to your Gengar. With this chance, you...

 

[khaozz]

...decide to give Team Flare a taste of their own medicine. After kicking the doors down, the Galvantula shoots Electrowebs at every grunt and admin on this floor. After thanking the Galvantula, they leave the building and head back to the wild. You then go to one of the paralyzed admins and have Pyra read his mind. It seems that Mr. Fuji and the Name Rater's daughter are in a cell in B5F. Unfortunately, you don't see any stairs, elevator, or teleporters anywhere. You decide to...

 

[HyperMorian]

...to check for trigger switches. But to make it easier, you let the Delphox to use telepathy as it threatens one of the grunts. Their quasi nerves aren't just fitting their own guts as he spoiled all the secrets behind it, telling you to press the red button 3 times on the control panel. And so you went to press it but you changed your mind, thinking it would be an obvious trap. And so you threatened him again if he's telling the truth, he swore that he didn't lie and there can't be any booby traps in such area. Should you believe him or nah?

 

[Lycanthropy]

Probably not, but it's your only lead and YOLO. You press the red button three times. Then...

 

[HyperMorian]

...a hole opened on your bottom, it was indeed a trap...or is it? You fell down inside a slide-like tube, leading you deeper and deeper below the surface. As you saw the light approaching so fast on the end of the path, you realized that you're on B5F. The grunt wasn't lying, but why wouldn't they use elevators instead of this? You looked around while rubbing your butt due to the heat (oh c'mon it's obvious, you also do that if it was a long one) coming from such friction and you saw...

 

[Lycanthropy]

...a gargantuan pool of lava with a futuristic looking machine next to it. You ask the grunt whether this is some sort of doomsday device and he says...

Spoiler:

but why wouldn't they use elevators instead of this?

Because they know a slide is way cooler than an elevator. Duh.

 

[khaozz]

...it is, and the hostages are trapped in a cell inside it. The machine runs on both lava and human souls, which is why Mr. Fuji and the Name Rater's daughter were kidnapped. The grunt says that the hostages shall offer their souls to power the machine. Not if you have anything to say about it! You send out your shiny Kyogre and its Drizzle instantly cools the lava. You then notice two buttons on the machine, one in the shape of an apple, the other shaped like a banana. The grunt says that one button releases the prisoners and shuts down the machine, while the other both activates the machine and instantly kills the hostages. Which button will you press? You decide to...

 

[HyperMorian]

...to ask which is the correct button (I mean that's obvious), he answered, "Why don't you look around for clues instead of asking me, the grunt that knows nothing about which ones is the right one?" Feeling annoyed with such response, you threatened him again, but he already told you that he knows nothing beyond which ones was the correct button for this device. With no exact clues, you randomly pick which button is correct by doing eenie meenie miney mo method. The last word landed on the button with a banana, the grunt smirked, "Are you sure with this choice? Their life is at stake on your decision. You don't want to screw up, don't you?" You ignored the grunt's wimp and continued to press the banana button as the grunt laughed. On the last second, you...

 

[LilyGardy]

...also press the other button causing the machine to simply explode. The grunt is surprised at this turn of events and releases the prisoners pleading with you to not arrest him. With it's last drop of power the machine zaps the grunt turning him into a very confused yet well-spoken Lady Trainer. That was random. You head back to Viridian City Gym with Mr Fuji and the Name Raters Daughter and notice...

 

[HyperMorian]

...a Tsareena, a somewhat familiar Pokémon that you encountered during the portal shifting matter inside the deserted lab. She wanted you to follow her but you told her that you need to escort those people back to their hometown. This caused Tsareena to kick you on the leg, hurting your leg a bit as she went deeper to Route 2. You...

 

[khaozz]

...are not going to accept that, so you decide to punish it for its rudeness by having Pyra blast it with Flamethrower. One crit Flamethrower later, and the Tsareena was swiftly KOed. Take that, you rude Grasshole! You then see an Audino, who saw everything and offers to heal your leg. You ask the Audino to heal the Tsareena first. After it does so, the Tsareena bows in apology and runs off. After thanking the Audino for healing the Tsareena and your leg, you notice something on the floor. It's a...

 

[HyperMorian]

...it's an old photo depicting a certain Grass-Type Pokémon that looked like a mangosteen with a female trainer in green outfit happily standing side by side, apparently having a red X sign covering her face. You began to wonder if this photo belonged to that strange Tsareena as it was the closest possible relation, but what's the matter with the condemning sign? Is this girl a bad trainer to her or is it something else? Curious, you...

 

[LilyGardy]

...tell your Lilligant to reason with the Tsareena so she will talk to you. After the Flowering Pokemon talks to Tsareena for nearly 10 minutes the Fruit Queen comes towards you. Lilligant tells you the trainer and Tsareena are sisters. One was turned into a Tsareena whilst one must dress as one or both will face a most terrible fate. You are intrigued and ask...

 

[HyperMorian]

...Tsareena if she know what happened to her sister afterward. She had no idea, and actually don't want to talk about it at all. Regretting the choice for bringing up such matter in the first place, therefore she left without asking any further favor. But you're still too curious to let her walk her way so you asked her another question that won't result in a good response, "Are you trying to hide something?" She responded with...

 

[LilyGardy]

...Yes. Apparently it was a mysterious Shiny Ninetales that cursed them for accidentally invading her territory. Lilligant is scared by this tale and you respond by...

 

[khaozz]

...asking where this Ninetales is. Perhaps you can find a way to convince it to remove the curse. If not, you have your own fire fox that can mind crush it if needed. Unfortunately, Tsareena doesn't know where it is, but according to some rumors, this Ninetales can sometimes be found in...

 

[L'Belle]

A creepy abandoned building, however, this building is crawling with aggresive mimikyu. However, Tsareena has a plan...

 

[PageEmp]

...Which is to go in the building, but the first thing we see is not a Mimikyo. It was a gang of Dunsparce, and they all carried an incredibly powerful attack. That attack was..

 

[HyperMorian]

...surprise multiple elemental beams! You and your Pokémon along with Tsareena decided to ran away instead of facing the risk of getting statused, until reaching into a safe range you sent out your Shiny Kyogre and order it to use Water Spout to knock them out, effectively defeating them all. But now the building is really wet and damp, you decided to...

 

[Lycanthropy]

...turn up the heating so that all the water will evaporate. You forgot that the building you're in is old and abandoned and as expected doesn't have a properly functioning central heating any more, and the whole building explodes as you try to turn it up. (At least there's no longer a damp building, so that's a win.) You then...
