[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Kecleon waves back and smiles as the group exits the shop.  "Thank you for stopping by the Kecleon Shop!  We hope to see you again soon!"

Continuing to follow the tracks through the dark tunnels, Team OS eventually reaches a junction.  The tracks continue down the corridor straight ahead of them, eventually sloping downwards sharply.  "I think that's the path to the next floor!  I have a feeling we're getting close to our goal, everyone.  Stay on guard."

To the side is another tunnel with more rails leading from it.  However, the rails look broken and unused, and the path seems to have been blocked by a small cave-in.  "Hey, wasn't there a tunnel on the other side of that cliff?  Do you guys think that this might be the other side of it?"

   

Before the Team can properly assess their surroundings, though, they hear a voice with a very thick Transylvanian accent.  

"Who dares disturb my search for the Darkest of Shadows?"

A dark shadow of a pokemon drops down from the ceiling.  Their hide almost as dark as the shadows in the room, the dim torchlight barely illuminating their silhouette.   As they stand straighter and look at the party, dark wings that look like a cloak lined with red velvet drape around their body, and a pair of glowing yellow eyes seem to peer straight into the party's very souls.  Two large ears twitch constantly, as if scanning their surroundings for every little noise.

(It seems the image inserting with links isn't working properly at the moment, so I had to improvise with this next picture and upload it instead of linking the exact one I had in mind.  It's not one to one with the exact image, but I think you'll recognize what it's supposed to be.)

   

Every time they speak, it sends a chill down everyone's spines.

"Young fools.  Hmph.  This is no place for children such as yourselves.  Begone, before you meet a fate most terrible."

"Hey, who you calling a child, huh?!  Do you have any idea who you're speaking to?"

Hoopa floats forwards, arms crossed as they glare at the bat pokemon.

"Hmph.  I do not, nor do I care.  Begone.  Leave me to my search."

"Why you...!"

Karen and Marcus seem to both be taken aback by this pokemon's appearance, not sure what to say.  Karen looks nervously at the rest of the party while Hoopa shakes a fist at the strange pokemon in anger.
