Episode 9: Welcome to the World of Pokemon -- Again! The Galar Trip!

[fallers_npcs]

Welcome to the Galar Region everyone!

After a long trip, you've all arrived, rested up and now are touring the countryside before heading to Wyndon. Along the way, you and your classmates get to experience the gentleness of the city before heading to the biggest city of the nation.

Some stops are along the way as follows.





First stop is the big and majestic Wild Area around Motostoke and Hammerlocke. This rich, lush area is full of natural beauty, and is a haven for Pokemon. Trains, trainers and Pokemon all travel through this landscape, as you can see dens lit up across the landscape. Your tour guide will inform you that these Dens are full of Dynamax Pokemon, and can be battled and caught if you wish to test your mettle.

There are Pokemon of all kinds, not quite all of the Pokemon you might find in other regions but Pokemon are migrating in and out of Galar at all times with unique and bizzare forms.




Incredible looking Stow-on-Side is another stop where the trains run, yes, trains run to Stow-on-Side, not EVERYONE walks here, silly! and Here, you can find the historical murals of the landscape, the Fighting Gym run by Bea (when it's not swapped out with Allister every other half a year but this time it's Bea's turn), and maybe if you're plucky enough, Bea will let you challenge her gym. Who knows, she might accept.



Hullbury Gym is in the opposite direction and we'll be taking the Train there as well, or you could rent a bike and hoof it across the bridge, it's up to you. Or a Corviknight Taxi. Either way, we'll be setting out from Hammerlocke in the middle of the week to visit Nessa.


In the middle of the week, we will arrive at our destination. The beautiful city of Wyndon.



Wyndon is a bustling metropolis where some peculiar going-ons have been taking place. While it shouldn't bother you at the moment, Chairman Rose himself has come to meet you and the students with a genuine smile on his face along with his placid secretary, and none other than Champion Leon.

All are very enthusiastic to meet the students, and some of the Fallers who have decided to come on the trip, including the chaperones.

In all, you've been put up at the swankiest hotel thanks to the Chairman's goodwill, and have fun experiencing the life of Wyndon for the next ten days!

This is where the real Mystery Begins, as reports of strange red light has been affecting citizen's Pokemon, and Dynamaxing them once in a while...

Wes turns his head to his team and hisses. He can see the shadow ball building. Since no one's helping him up, he sees Charizard throws Dark Dream and he goes towards the Charizard, hoping Leon or Charizard would see him and get the message to throw him up.

"Get out of the way! Approach with sludge! Get in there again!"

Morpeko hears Wes and relays the orders. Koffing nods and with a burst of speed, the two zip away from the shadow ball, dodging neatly. Koffing gets closer and attempts to shoot foul sludge at the Mega Mothim, missing by a hair again. The thing was fast, that was for sure...

Unfortunately for Tyzias, her galeforce gambit also put her slightly off balance. And as she's trying to recover, the Beedrill charges into her with full force with its Megahorn. "GHK-" Tyzias's cry is cut short as the Pokemon slams her into the stadium's turf, creating a sizable impact crater and filling the area around her with dust.

But Tyzias is... smiling? Her hand snaps out towards the Beedrill's neck, still crackling with Calamity Miles. "Gotcha, you bastard," she snarls. The Miles pierce the Beedrill's flesh and begin snaking through its body, which in addition to tearing apart its body from the inside out, also pumps it full of reality-eating static.

"You don't even know what you yourself is anymore," said Dark Dream, her body starting to shimmer. The damage from the stun spore was starting to break her down, and she stepped over to Nozomi, one hand out, tears watering in her eyes before she grasped the air, her hand passing through the other girl.

"Remember... remember what you once were..."

And then, she flickered away, into light and shadow.

And then -- suddenly, everything went to hell.

When Tyzias struck the Beedrill, power collided. Unknown energy started to flare as magic swirled, the power of unknown proportions whirling around the Stadium erupting.

Tyzias. You done fucked up.

"We need to get to shelter!" shouted Leon as he gripped Wes's leg instead of yeeting him towards his Pokemon. "Call your Pokemon back!" he shouted at Wes. "Call them back everyone!"

The Pokemon that was once Beedrill rose up into the air, crackling with power as it rose into the skies. Energy flared, as the stadium began to crumble around it, but then, suddenly, without warning -- reality stopped.

Everything stopped.

As if bound by time and space, nothing seemed to move, as Bunbee chuckled, reappearing, stepping through the boundaries of the landscape, seemingly unaffected. "My my," he said, clapping. "You really did it Fallers. You just pushed the boundaries of the Gods, and broke this world's Law. My goodness. This is above everyone's pay grade that's for certain."

"This can't do at all."

Bunbee snapped his fingers and the Beedrill vanished and the pieces of the stadium rebuilt itself. "I do hope you won't do that again," he said calmly, his eyes narrowing. "Don't. Do that again. There's little chance of stopping something like that again. I'm sure the proper people have taken notice by now... and be warned, this is the only time I'll be helping all of you."

He smiled. "Grow stronger, rely on your Partners, don't rely on the crutch you call powers! Learn about the strength of the heart!"

And he stepped away, disappearing through a Ultra Hole which swallowed Bunbee in a flash of light. And then, Reality Unpaused itself.

Wes hisses as Charizard grabs him but he complies with orders. He gets his Pokeballs and recalls his two partners, prioritising them before him.

And then reality stops.

And starts again.

... Who... what the hell are they fighting?

Also how dare he chastise them?

"... Damn it."
