Devon keeps a sharp eye at your side while Aria takes on a fighting pose in her Piroutte form. Both Pokemon can sense your tension for the upcoming fight.

The plan is simple. Vance will trigger the alarm by taking the crystal, you’ll keep Registeel busy, and Violet will find where Registeel came from to find the master switch that signals Regirock that it’s no longer needed to protect the ruins.

“I trust you both will be able to handle things. I’ll be too busy searching for the trigger to babysit you.” Violet starts walking to one of the hallways leading out of this room.

You and Vance exchange a look. You’re both ready.

“Okay!” Vance rubs his hands together. “Here goes nothing.” He grabs onto crystal and pulls.

Nothing happens. It didn't even move.

He adjusts his stance and pulls again. It lifts off the pedestal, but stone walls shoot up all around him.

“Vance!”

“I'm okay!” you barely hear his muffled voice. “I think... I think there’s some sort of puzzle to getting out. Gimme a minute and- WOAH!”

“Vance? What happened?”

“I’m fine. I just need to not press the wrong things. Also, putting the crystal back isn't the answer. I can figure this out.”

Damnit. Violet is nowhere to be seen. She said it wasn't boobytrapped.

You hear creaking, heavy footsteps. Registeel is coming. He’ll be on you any second now.

You leave Vance to fend for himself. He’s reliable in a pinch. He should be fine, right?

You signal Aria and Devon to get ready. Aria positions herself right by the corner, and Devon sticks a bit farther back.

Registeel walks into view. The metal on hard stone produces loud footsteps that make you want to flinch each time.

It turns and sees you, then begins to stomp forward rapidly. He didn’t notice Aria behind him.

She’s facing in your direction, so some moves might get you or Devon too.

“Power-Up Punch! Now!”

She lowers her chin and gives a solid, straight jab to Registeel’s back. There’s a loud klang and it lurches forward.

Registeel’s cry sounds like Regirocks if it were running fingers over it’s non-existent lips. Despite that, it gives an intimidating aura as it echoes.

It’s eyes blink and flicker as it turns to face Aria.

Devon jumps in front of you and digs his heels in. It’s perfect timing, since you’re just about to command him to use

You see Violet slink past just out of Registeel’s view, and down the hallway it came from. She gives a quick shushing gesture before she’s out of sight again.

“Flame-”

Devon already starts firing it off. Out of all your Pokemon, he’s the most in sync with you. He didn’t act without your command, but was prepared and knew what you were going to say before you were done saying it.

The flames lick into Registeel’s back. He felt it, but it’s not enough to draw off his attack on Aria. A loud, hollow Tong sound echoes out as it lands Iron Head. She’s pushed back and rubs her head.

You keep him in his non-mega form for now. Even with all your practice, it can drain you a bit.

So far so good. Registeel seems a bit sharper than Regirock, but less intense. It also looks like it’s going to start taking you more seriously.

You hear sliding stones from inside where Vance is trapped. “That wasn't supposed to happen, but still okay!”

Aria shakes her head and flies towards Registeel. She’s still facing towards you and Devon

“Low Kick!!”

Aria ducks and spins before giving a quick sweep of it’s legs. Registeel crashes ackwards to the ground.

“Great job!” You thrust your arm.

Vance seems to be changing tactics. “Alright. Plan B.” After a second, there’s a loud crash from where Vance is. “Cranidos, again!”

Yes. This is going well. And Devon is ready to rock again. He dashes quickly to the left to get the best angle in preperation for you command.

“Alright! Let’s use-”

He suddenly stops and turns back to face you, nostrils flaring. He growls. Steam and light leak from between his teeth. He looks very hostile and very startled.

He’s going to attack!

Aria looks normal.

You dodge forward. There’s a light breeze from behind, then a hot flame over your shoulder.

You get behind Devon and turn around. He’s growling at a cloaked figure. The strange figure lurches forward into the light. “Hellllooo, Kat!”

Delmer! Except he looks strange. His face looks scaley. His hand, a claw, pinches out a smoldering ember on his cloak.

Aria and Registeel battle behind you. Vance cracks his way out of his stone-wall prison. He seems like he'll be out soon at this pace.

Delmer smiles and casually saunters towards you.

Ok, serious talk, guys. We tried leaving him hanging, and we also tried dealing with him batman-style. Surprise-surprise, that didn't work!

Although that does still leave us with the problem of his ghost haunting us.

Delmer dashes forward, sharp, inhuman claws extended. Despite what’s obviously a sloppy attack, he just barely gets Devon on the side. Devon yelps.

Even a grazing hit from him seems to be powerful.

He cackles. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this chance.

His laughter stops when Devon covers him in flames. You’d normally feel very wrong about having a Pokemon seriously attack a human, but it doesn’t feel wrong here. Delmer is some sort of monster now.

He rips off his burnt cloak, revealing his scaly torso. “It won’t go the same way as before, Kat.” His eyes look towards Vance as he cracks the wall. “I’m...better now.”

Despite his words, you see that the attack did have some effect. Just not as strong as you’d expect.

You glance behind. Aria is losing her momentum in the fight. She’s not losing, just losing the advantage she was enjoying

Devon keeps himself positions between Delmer and yourself.

“Sing!” You cover your ears. Devon tries to imitate your action, but when Delmer advances on you he rushes to intercept instead. Delmer has to keep his arms slashing out and isn’t able to cover his ears.

You see him and Registeel begin to fall asleep. Devon’s eyes grow heavy too.

There’s a crash as Vance’s Cranidos gets him free. He retrieves his Pokemon, since it’s too big to fit through the hole. He walks out, taking in the scene.

A series of sharp, metal blades swing out from the floor in front of Vance. He scrambles back, keeping one arm around the crystal. More blades shoot behind. “Oh come on!”

He’s trapped in a box of blades, now. He’s unhurt and not being directly targeted, as long as he doesn’t move out from his small space. But “fine” is a term that’s very open to interpretation when blades swipe at you.

He holds a hand over a Pokeball, considering how to handle his situation. Rusty metal edges zips around him. It slowly pushes him back into a shrinking space. “Okay. I can figure this out too,” he assures mostly himself.

Delmer stirs. He won’t be out long. You can tell the same goes for Registeel.

Vance backs away from a slowly encroaching blade wall. He's counting how many times it slices per ten seconds. "Yeah. Yeah. I have this."

The Great Ball hits Registeel, turns him into a flash of light, then falls to the ground. It wiggles once, then Registeel reappears.

“Damnit!”

Vance shifts his weight. He kicks out once, bending the blade in front of him slightly. It’s not enough to stop it from moving her even slow it down much, but on the plus side, he didn’t lose his foot either. He goes back to watching it swing back and forth, waiting for the right time.

Delmer stirs to his feet. “I...won’t...be stopped so easily.” He sprays himself with a bottle. You see as it falls to his side that it’s a super potion. “It’s time to stop playing. Give me the crystal, and I’ll leave you be.”

>Vance, toss the crystal to him. Who even cares about it

>>Play the flute song from the other ruin, except well this time
Fuck it why not. We'll confuse him at the very least.

>>44828436
>Play the flute song from the other ruin, except well this time

shit the flute was the crystal relic from the other temple
playing it near this one might activate an ancient super weapon or some thing
we could vaporize Vance or give him super armor or something

>>44828436
>Have Aria help Vance
>Something else
you and Devon back away, with a bit of luck, Registeel will go after Delmer now

Also, if Potion works on Delmer, would Pokeball?

>>44828436
TOSS THE BALL AT DELMER!
If he fights like a pokemon, and can be healed like a pokemon, then let's deal with him like with a pokemon.

Horrifying implications. Absolutely monstrous. I approve.

If we manage to capture Delmer he would be sent to Professor Fir, who would let him out to check out Kat's new pokemon. I can't see that ending well for the Prof.

You don’t know what exactly what possesses you to do it, but it feels right. You take out your flute, and begin to play.

Different runes over the walls glow as your song echoes out. The crystal glows unbearably bright in Vance’s hands.

Delmer starts horking something up. After a disgusting series of noises, he spits up a purple, disgusting blob. You recognize it as either Sludge or Sludge Bomb.

But somehow, it slows in mid air. In fact, everything is slowing down. The blades slowly slink back and forth, eventually slowing to almost perfectly still.

The soundwaves around you shield you from the flow of normal time. It feels safe and warm, but at the same time you can’t help but feel like you’ve walked into a place you were never supposed to go.

You have the same unease you used to get when you’d sneak out of the orphanage and go places you weren’t supposed to.

In fact, it feels almost real. Less like a memory, and more like you’re there, doing it. At the same time, you look to the future. The Pokemon League. You’re battling one of the Elite Four, hearing the crowds cheer but only caring about how proud you are of your Pokemon. You see farther, to Mt. Harmony. Why are you there? Why is it so dark?

No, you’re in the present. You’re grabbing Vance and dragging him to safety. He’s like a solid rock, but at the same time he doesn’t weight much. You shove him upward, and when he slowly floats high enough, you shove him sideways. Then, as he clears the danger area, you catch him and gently slow him down.

You reach to your Pokeballs and toss out Raistlin. The flash of light seems to take forever, yet no time at all. He appears, but he’s just as slow as everything else.

You patiently wait for him to form a thought. He thinks faster than anyone you know, and you can tell he’s still processing his surroundings.

A feeling of being watched slowly grows more intense.

Um, is it a good idea to beat someone to death while being watched by Dialga?

>>44829770
Dialga will understand.

I mean, it's Delmer.

>>44829770
As long as he's not corrupted, Dialga's pretty chill

>>44829753
Yeah maybe we can move Delmar to where Vance was or tie him up or somehting

>>44829819
That should at least slow Delmar down, and it'd be his own fault if he gets killed.

>>44829690
Restrain Delmar if we can, then play the flute again

Doesn't bashing his head with a rock count as restraining him?

“What do you think about this, Raistlin?” You hope he can process you.

You pick up a rock and whip it at Delmer. It very slowly flies through the air, then very slowly bounces off of him.

Raistlin slowly forms a thought. He says you’re fast.

You catch the rock, then throw it again. So that’s how he sees you. “Any idea why, or what’s happening?”

You watching as the rock once again floats into Delmer, bouncing off his face. He’s so ugly. Nothing about his body can be comfortable. His arms are lumpy, his face is asymmetrical, his bones look wrong.

Raistlin doesn’t think what you’re doing makes sense. You shouldn’t be so fast. Even if you are, you should be getting more wind resistance or experience g-force sensations. Yet you feel normal. It’s not that you’re fast, it’s that you’re not complying with the rest of time.

“Why am I feeling so confused?” Yo snatch the rock out of the air again. This time, you drop it and then start moving Delmar to where Vance was. Then you grab some of your crappy punk clothes and tie his arms behind his back.

Raistlin finally answers your question. He tells you that your mind is infinite. Your memories are the future. Your past has yet to occur.

Raistlin is afraid. He no longer wants to think about it. The conclusions make no sense.

You feel like something is asking you a question, but it hasn't asked it yet. How can you answer? You’ll handle it later.

She is up to something stupid. I know it.

Raistlin digs deep and summons his courage. He tries to read your memories and make sense of everything, despite feeling like knowing is worse than not knowing, which is very much the opposite of his usual attitude.

You have faced a terrible choice of sacrifices at Mt. Harmony. You will go on a Pokemon adventure and leave the orphanage.

You take out your flute and begin playing. You’re already playing.

Before you’re done playing, the presence you’ve been worried about looks firmly on you. You can’t really make sense of the face, but it’s there, it sees you, and you can’t hide from it.

You’re finishing the song. Time is normalizing.

It stares into your birth and death, examining you to detail beyond your understanding. It wants to know what you would ask of it.

Wait, is this a trick? A trap? A free wish?

Can you ask for anything? Can you stop Robin from losing her eye? Undo your being left at the orphanage? Fix something that hasn’t occurred?

>Nothing
>Please don’t hurt me
>Let me see my future

After we one-eyed Robin I'm all for being cautious, I also don't want to piss Dialga off

>>44830794
The question is, can you live with the consequences?

> nobody wanting to fix Devon's injury except for me

:(((((((

We could make Violet our mom!

Fix Robin's eye!

Prevent not kat from growing up in the jungle!

>>44830696
I'll second the help me in my time of need request.

>>44830879
I don't know, we're the sum of our mistakes pretty much, and we're in an okay place right now.

>>44830911
it's a small scar not a crippling injury
scars are proof of having lived your life

>>44830911
If we do end up taking something back that's pretty much the only one I'd be okay with.

Although Nibbles is the one covered in scabs and scar tissue.

>>44830696
>>Something else
"Be kind to this world and all the beautiful fools with in it."

What about the whole reason we are on this adventuer?
Free the Regis

>>44830696
>Nothing

>>44830979
Oh right, that.

>>44831059
But like I don't know, I think the situation is more complex than Violet believes, and if Dialga does it, he might make the changes retroactive and change society completely.

>>44831094
Devon not getting the scar might mean we lose the battle. We could then end up in a losing streak where we lose all our money, and fall into more crime and drugs. We could then become an alone, back-alley, two dollar hooker that is entirely alone.

No one wants that, right?

>>44831094
He's literally the gatekeeper of Time, he'd probably take us face value.

“Nothing,” you answer, trying to sound respectful. “Sorry to bother you.”
What a novel concept; a human turning down power. Even your thoughts are mostly about using such a gift to help others, as short-sighted as such ideas are. Dialga seems to mostly approve. You aren’t taking any more than you need, and aren’t acting in a selfish desire. Not that it’s approval matters under all circumstances, but it allows itself the luxury of examining your petty concept of reality and admiring your outlook despite your smallness.

It tells you that you already had/will ask for something, but it understands now isn’t then.

Time becomes normal, and you try to keep standing. You’ve been judged, and as far as you can tell, you’ve passed.

Vance groans and lifts himself up. “What happened? I feel like I was hit by a truck.”

The spinning blades seem to have stopped. The temple is lit up.

Registeel simply stares at you, then turns around and starts walking away.

Delmar lays in the middle of the floor, motionless. Those rocks must have hit him at a crazy speed.

I don't know, Aria agreed to a fight and didn't retreat even when she was losing, while Registeel is attempting to escape.

I feel like that means that Registeel doesn't want to be captured right now and we should probably respect that?
