RE: Winds of Time - PokéBeach CYOA - Chapter 19
Hello PokéBeach, I'm sorry this took forever (had artist/writer block Dx) bur finally here it is, the one and the only:
Chapter 20
You kiss Eirik again…and then he and the professor disappear, meaning you will have to fight the guards alongside Cynthia, who calls out her Togekiss.
“Quick, Mia! Come on Togekiss!”
As soon as you and Prinplup are on the Pokémon, you take off. You don’t get very far, however, since one of the guards calls out his Electivire, who catches Togekiss and electrifies it and then makes it crash onto the ground, knocking it out. Luckily, you and Cythia had just enough time to jump off.
By the time you stand up after landing on the ground, the guards have already surrounded you.
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t Cynthia and the pretty girl of the blue hair. Your name’s Mia, isn’t it? Looks like destiny really has it in for you, sweetie. I told you I would get you back for that dirty trick you used earlier. Guards, do not interfere with what’s about to happen, unless I tell you to. I’ll let the fun last more. Let’s do this, Golbat!”
As the bat Pokémon comes out of its PokéBall, you tell Prinplup to get ready to fight. You know you don’t have Kirlia this time, but you have no choice. As Cynthia sees this, she stops you.
“I’ll take care of this, Mia. You have only one Pokémon, and she is far more experienced than you. You go with Z and bring help.”
“That’s wise advice, Mia. I would take it. We’ll be waiting for you.”
“Are you sure you’re gonna be alright, Cynthia? She’s strong. If I hadn’t had Kirlia, she would have won the battle.”
“I will, don’t forget I was once the Sinnoh Champion!” she says cheerfully. It doesn’t change your mood in the least.
“Alright, then. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
With these words, you and Prinplup start walking towards the center of the yard, where you were teleported earlier. As soon as you step on the little circle, a yellow light envelops you and Prinplup, and you find yourself in the entrance of Shining White.
Interesting, you think,
they can control where you will appear even if there’s no circle at the destination.
You start feeling cold, and suddenly remember…you left your purse at the prison! You will have to find the Resistance with your dress and heels.
Great, just great.
As you try to remember the direction Riley took when he left you, Prinplup seems to want your attention. You look at it, and you see it has…a PokéBall in its beak!
It has a note on it:
I hope this Pokémon will help you as much as its mother has helped me. It’s still a bit unruly, so it won’t always come out when you want it to. It will come out when the moment comes.
-Cynthia
“Well, if it isn’t a good surprise! Thank you, Prinplup. I hope it comes in handy. So now, where do you think Riley went? We could go that way…”
“You don’t need to…I found you already.”
That voice…
Riley!
“Riley!” You say, and you instantly turn and hug him. He seems a bit surprised by your reaction, but he hugs you anyway. “I made it into Shining White with Cynthia. She’s fighting Mars to give me time to get your help. We need the Resistance.”
“I’m sorry, Mia, but you can’t have the whole Resistance helping you; we still have to get our people out of the other prison. I can send half with you, but I have to go with the other half. We need them. Besides, Professor Rowan, Eirik and Kirlia will stay in the new HQ to help you from there. You’ll be fine, Mia. I trust you. And so does Eirik.”
At the mention of Eirik’s name, you feel you’re blushing a bit.
“Don’t worry, Mia. Everything will be ok. The guys will bring you proper clothing and shoes.”
With these words, he hugs you and leaves. You have no choice but to wait for the half of the Resistance to come join you. After several minutes, there’s still no sign of the Resistance. Since you have nothing to do, you start feeling sleepy. You call Prinplup and hug it, and the warmth it gives makes you feel comfortable…and you both fall asleep.
Some time after
You open your eyes and look around. Prinplup is making a snowman and another Pokémon you’ve never seen before is watching it. You would normally take out your Pokédex to scan it, but…you remember your purse is still at the prison. You realize you’re shivering, and see that the strange Pokémon is looking at you.
It has white fur and a horn on the side of its head. It’s looking at you in the eyes as if it wanted to tell you something, but you can’t really tell what.
Suddenly, it looks in the direction Riley left, and before you even realize it, you take the Pokéball Cynthia gave you and call back the Pokémon.
Well this is a pretty weird Pokémon, you think.
Suddenly, you hear footsteps. You look in the direction where the noise came from…and see the Resistance! They’ve finally arrived! There are plenty of Pokémon, almost as twice as much as people. One of them speaks:
“Blue hair, dress, heels, Prinplup, pretty. Just like Z said. You’re Mia, aren’t you?”
“Uh, yeah, that’s me,” you say, a bit intimidated by the man’s straightforwardness.
“Z sent you clothes,” he replies, and throws them at you, but you fall back and the clothes fall on your face. When you take them off, you see you’re at the prison. You stand up and look around. Prinplup is next to you, and most of SW is destroyed. You hear explosion after explosion, and there are dead bodies everywhere.
However, you don’t have time to even think about how you got there, as you hear a piercing scream at the distance.
That sounded like Cynthia!
You take Prinplup and start running towards the scream immediately, and after about 15 minutes, you see the cause of the scream.
You see Cynthia lying on the floor with a spear through her body, and Mars chuckling. You fall to your knees and start crying in despair.
“See, sweetheart? This is what happens to those who choose to face me on a one-on-one battle, regardless of their skill level. The Purugly you saw earlier was nothing but a leftover of my true team. You may face it if you want, but only after I’m done with this green-haired guy.”
Eirik? Wasn’t he supposed to stay with the professor? Is the professor here, too?
All you can do is watch as Mars takes the spear out of Cynthia’s dead body, smiles, and starts walking towards Eirik, who is defenseless. You suddenly stand up and start running towards Eirik and push him to the side the second before the fatal blow is delivered. You feel the spear going through your heart, and you desperately try to reach for a Pokéball.
After you fall on the ground, your vision starts blurring. You’re getting colder and colder…but Mars isn’t done with you.
“You saved this guy, sweetie? Men do nothing but play with women. I had one of those a long time ago, and all he did was throw me away like trash. But since you care so much about him, I’ll kill him before your eyes, just before you die.”
With these words, she takes her spear, slowly walks towards Eirik, and is about to kill him…but everything becomes white before you see what happens. As you feel life leave your body, in the whiteness a figure appears…
It’s Kirlia! What is it doing here?
Again, you don’t have time to react, as it disappears as soon as it appeared. You close your eyes, waiting for the end…
When you open them, everything around you is white. Except for the Prinplup playing in the snow…and the trees around it…and your blue dress…and your hair…
It was all a dream! But it all seemed so real…and Kirlia was in it, so…maybe it’s a message from it? What if…it was to come true!?
You hear footsteps coming. The Resistance has actually arrived this time! What will you do?
Well, guys, I’m sure there’s more than one of you who thought the dream was actually happening, but well it wasn’t
So, your choices:
A) Try to convince the Resistance to go for a sneaky attack instead of the all-out frontal attack they had planned.
B) Ignore your
daynightmare and go with the Resistance.
C) Go in the woods to change the course of the events.
You have until
15-02-15 to vote, PokéBeach! I’ll be seeing you!
