[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Kogeki was confused by all these visions. What were they? Are they visions of his past as a human? Or it is...something else? He was in the ground, confused by all these visions and what they mean. Then he was startled by the appearance of the Legendary being.

At first, he was hesitated in take the hand of the Legendary Pokemon. Specially since she is so much similar to Tornadus. However...her Aura is calm but more intoxicating. Besides, if he try to face her, he will problably be killed. And he is weak after use so much strengh against Tornadus. So he accept Enamorus hand and stand up.

"...Thank you." It was all he could say at first. After walking he do have some questions. "What...exatcly you are? Are you a Legendary Pokemon too? And...you looks similar to Tornadus. Are you...related to him? And what is this place?"

Kogeki put a hand in his head, feeling dizzy. "I sorry if I have so many questions...Last thing I remember me and my friends was facing Tornadus who was consumed by some type of...darkness and we were facing him...I feel loosing consciousnous, and see that...vision. What was that vision? What it means? And...what you mean about turmoil about darkness and light?"

"*Sigh* Sorry...You gave me your name and I did not even gave mine. My name is Kogeki. Kogeki "Anubis" Kurayami. Ninja of sand and sea. And member of Team Omega Seekers. Or OS for short."

Enamorus smiles.  "You are correct.  I am a Legendary pokemon, the Harbinger of Spring.  Tornadus is one of my...associates, shall we say.  The Winter Blizzard.  He and I are polar opposites in many ways.  It is fine if you have questions, little one.  There are many things I can likely answer for you."

She thinks for a moment about how to respond to Kogeki's next series of inquiries as the Riolu walks alongside her.  The colors around them continue to shift and pulse with an unknowable rhythm.

"That vision you just saw...that was the moment I lost much of what was dear to me.  This place is a wellspring of memory, a realm that exists between places.  I can sense that you've seen it before.  And this place can sense that inner turmoil of yours as well, just like I can.  It isn't just Spring that I represent, but also new beginnings.  New feelings.  You can probably guess which ones I mean.~"  She smiles again, and Kogeki can feel that loving aura of comfort and gentleness intensifying.  And it seems...familiar.

As soon as Kogeki thinks he's on the verge of remembering something though, the feeling vanishes, and Enamorus continues.  "You and I are much alike, Kogeki Kurayami.  Filled with love and good, but with a darker side as well.  One of hate and vengeance."  Her words in that final sentence have more punch to them than any of the ones that came before.  Her form flickers for a moment, seeming to become something else entirely, and the aura around her suddenly feels uncomfortably stifling.  Angry.  The surrounding colors turn from comforting pinks and purples to violent reds and oranges as Kogeki hears the sound of a snake hissing aggressively.

As quickly as it shifts though, it tuns back just as swiftly.  Kogeki struggles to not be overwhelmed by the emotional whiplash.

"I can sense you've lost someone dear to you, little human.  I have lost someone dear to me as well.  That day where our shrine was overwhelmed by that dark, sinister storm was the day that Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus started losing themselves.  I was fortunate enough to be able to flee, but I often find myself regretting decision.  If I had stayed, tried to help, maybe things would have turned out differently...a struggle similar to your own, from what I can tell."

The colors shift again briefly, forming another scene.  The darkness of a cave.  The sound of falling rocks as it begins to collapse.  And once again, Kogeki feels like he's on the verge of remembering something, but it's just out of reach...!

Enamorus turns to face Kogeki as the scene returns to being swirls of pink and purple.  "I must thank you for freeing Tornadus from the grip of that terrible darkness that was shrouding him.  And I can sense that Thundurus has been freed as well.  But this is not over yet.  Landorus is still being influenced by whatever this dark force is.  You must go to the Island of Storms, located in the Sea of Wonders.  The island is due south of the Water Continent.  You will find some of what you are seeking there."

As the Legendary says that, the colorful surroundings and Enamorus start fading away.  Before they finally vanish though, Kogeki hears one last thing from the Harbinger of Spring.

"Should you have need of my assistance in the battle to come, have your mischievous companion call on me.  I shall arrive on the winds of Spring as you combat the heat of Summer."

And as the images fade away, Kogeki wakes up.  And for some strange reason, he feels refreshed and ready to go.  Bruised, but not that much worse for wear all things considered.

Kogeki is no longer exhausted.

-----------------------------

"Well, look who's awake!  Finally decided to rejoin us, huh?"

Kogeki wakes up to find Emolga poking at him.

"Was starting to wonder if I should give you a little zap to try and wake ya up, ya know?  A little electricity works wonders for making pokemon less tired I hear."

Looking around, Kogeki can see Platina talking with Tornadus, while Kee is talking with Hoopa and Madame Twintales.  Keldeo seems to be watching Emolga skeptically.

The door that Tornadus entered through is also still behind Team OS instead of Tornadus, but Kogeki also notices something else:

The Frism that Sue had used to record her message is glinting in the light, almost like it has another message to play.  Nobody else had noticed because Kogeki had collapsed right next to it.

"Helllloooooo, Paradise to Kogeki, are you there?  Am I going to have to shock you to wake you up after all?  You look kinda spaced out still."
