RE: RPG: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: A.S.F.: Game Start! Week 1
Dec reached the top floor of the tower. He was panting. Arceus, that was a long climb! Dec started to notice that his movements were lethargic. Dec took no notice. He thought it was the stairs.
Dec found that the top floor was a level with numerous Pokemon wandering about. The floor was more of a maze, with expertly placed magma pools to restrict movement. Dec started ahead. A Golbat flew overhead, aiming to attack. One Ice Beam took care of it. Dec continued.
Suddenly, a Slugma jumped out of the magma. Dec looked right into it's yellow eyes, and saw more fear than determination. Now why is that? What's going on here? Dec decided to go easy on it, since it looked low-leveled. Dec tried to shoot a Water Gun, but only one tiny drop of water came out. Pathetic! What the heck? Dec decided that maybe he had run out of PP for Water Gun. Instead, he brought it up to a Hydro Pump. Nothing. Oh my Arceus… Dec tried to shoot an Ice Beam, but only cold air came out. Dec quickly decided he was unfit to fight, and yelled "Scram!" at the Slugma. However, it was less of a scream, and more of a raspy whisper. Still the Slugma was scared enough to run away.
Dec tried frantically to figure out what happened. Then, the realization hit Dec like a ton of Poke-blocks. The heat. It was evaporating his water supply! (This only happens for water types!) Dec knew that the consequences would be severe if he didn't get water soon. He wondered how long it had been, and how much time he had left. Dec felt a surge of dizziness. He tried to overcome it, and barely did. Then, another wave hit him, and he couldn't resist. He fell, landing right on the edge of a pool of lava. That doesn't help any… Dec thought weakly. Tiredness flooded him, and he could feel his eyes starting to close. He resisted, but couldn't. The last thing he saw as he closed his eyes for what he felt was the last time was a pool of lava, bubbling as if nothing was wrong. How ironic… Dec's world went black.
