"Pika!" Cosplay gasped in surprise as her own attack came and struck her, knocking her to the floor. "(Ow....)" she groaned before getting back up. She then proceeded to shake herself off. She then sighed as her only translator walked away. Great, how am I going to be much help without at least having my trainer telling me what to do? she wondered. She walked over to the Storage Room and stopped as she noticed Dragonite pass by.

"(Hey! Aren't you at least going to tag along until we get back to the others?)" Cosplay called out. "(I'm not exactly going to be much help without my trainer either, but we might at least be able to back each other up,)" she pointed out. She then continued on into the Storage Room. She couldn't help but notice this room was stranger than the last. "(...Who was the one in charge of decorating this place?)" Cosplay wondered aloud.

[Coolshaymin]

J111, C0zp1ay Pikachu and Drag0n173

The SD card did nothing as it was picked up. Well, it is a SD Card, it's not like those things are known to be hostile. There is probably some computer in this abandoned place. It is a laboratory after all and it would be odd if it did not have one to insert the SD Card into. The SD Card might contain some important info to what is going on here. Might be best to collect as many as you can to find out the truth.

*SD Card 1 Collected for Jill*

Sadly for Dragonite, there seemed no way deeper into the facility. It would appear the three was trapped in this area... Well, that was except for the puddle in the Storage Room. It seemed very deep and it was big enough for even him to swim down. Maybe there is a passage to another part of the lab in the puddle?

Before he could consider that though. The window to the Me---al Bay disappeared as well as the wall siding and was replaced with walls in giant static. That was not all that happened however as the walls of the rooms they were in started to vibrate harshly yet they made no noise... It was almost like they were struggling to stay in this realm. Then a bunch of green ones and zeros formed together until they made a massive glob of incoherent gibberish.

The strange.... thing slowly floated towards the trio. Everything seemed to become disrupted and corrupted as it neared them. It would appear the decorator came to answer Pikachu's question. This may become more clear as all the walls had one word twitching on them in giant red letters. These words were "RUN!"

Shaymin and Iris

Shaymin looked back as she heard the window snap shut. It would appear Iris did not even get to recall her friend which put a frown on Shaymin's face. "Don't worry, I will help you reunite with Dragonite," Shaymin said reassuringly. She found it weird that Iris thought Dragonite was the one that needed her help but she was not about to argue that.

Shaymin then turned  back around and noticed the state of the room they got into. This place was extremely creepy as she shivered in a frightened state. She just needed to tell herself to be brave. It's not like there is anyone else here. It was just a really strange building. There was nothing para-... Is that a chunk of mountain? "... What is that doing there?" Shaymin questioned.

The mountain and hot spring was not the only odd thing however.... Shaymin had to tilt her head as Iris sniffed the mountain and hot spring... Shaymin may of been isolated from civilization... but she was pretty sure that was not how normal humans did things.

Shaymin wanted to change into Sky since he could handle this better... but he was not capable of producing light like she can.  Shaymin walked over to the mountain and joined Iris in sniffing. Maybe there could be something useful about this thing.

3cPNPlp0p_1d20+3(Shaymin's vastly inferior sniffing)

Land gave up though as she figured there was no point in this. There's not like the human would be able to find out anything she couldn't... Or could she?

The chunk of mountain smelled perfectly natural to Iris. It was almost like this chunk of Earth was where it belonged naturally... Which was odd given the fact it seemed pretty out of place. Yet it smelled and looked perfectly natural like there were no alterations at all. The hot spring water smelled like it would in any other hot spring. Which is less odd... If it did not smell 100% natural like it was where it was born too... Wait... there was almost something the average person would miss. Iris is apparently part dragon though as this smell that would normally escape humans came loud and clear. It smelled strangely like human in the water... Not just any human though... It almost smelled like... her.

"... I can't smell anything strange, can you?" Shaymin asked.

Jill rotated the card curiously, now she just had to find a computer, easy! She turned round as if to cry out her find, and stopped, voice lodged in her throat. "Wh-huh?" She croaked, slowly moving away from the sight.
The wall was moving! She stayed completely frozen until it flashed, RUN! She obliged, letting out a little whimper as she scrambled away. "Mouse, dragon!" She shouted, not caring to get their names right, "Get out of here!"
But there was nowhere to go! She desperately searched the walls, possible doors, but they were trapped! Except.
She peered into the deep puddle, instinctively taking a deep breath.
Before she could think it was a bad idea, she leaned the Drill Dozer into the supposed water, hoping the Pokemon would soon follow.

Dragonite turned his impatient gaze upon the well-dressed pikachu, just sort of giving her a less-than-thrilled look. The way he looked at her could have answered her question on its own. He wanted out, or at least back with his trainer, and he wanted it now. They'd only been seperated for a short ammount of time, but already it appeared to be stressing the massive pokemon out. "(If you cared for your trainer as much as I do, you wouldn't have come here without them.)" Dragonite replied rather curtly, though as he looked about once more he found himself lost and distraught. What an irritating time for a dead end. He was almost tempted to create an exit! PAWN--Right. Right. Didn't work last time. ...Confused and unsure of what to do now, he would relent slightly. "(...Promise to reunite me with my other half, and I'll follow you.)" he replied, eyeing the walls with distrust as they began to shift.

Then, of course, a threat had to present itself. Dragonite's mind was no longer on looking for a way out. He did not see the watering hole. He only saw the words run and the gaudiest pokemon he'd ever seen. Seriously, it was like the almighty creator was running out of ideas or something.

Y'know what this called for? A fist. Right in its ugly mug. How dare this abomination threaten him? "(You run.)" he remarked, pulling back and attempting to strike Missingno with a flaming fist!

As Iris sniffed the water, she noticed something ... different. Heeey. This smelled familiar? It smelled... ... ... Was that a subtle hint of perfume? Wait a moment. That was... hers! The kind she put on in the morning so she wouldn't smell like she was homeless! "It smells like... me." Iris remarked in bemusement. She would lean down and gently test the waters with one of her fingers and, assuming it wasn't scalding, testily dip her hand in. What a suspicious hot tub! Surely it held the answer to her questions. "What kind of hot tub is this? This is a really weird house, don't you think?" she remarked as she went on investigating the Iris-Tub. She wasn't about to drink the water or get in it while she was still wearing her beautiful dress, unless she really had to anyway, but for now she seemed content to study the strange waters.1d20+3

"(I don't even get the luxury of knowing if he is even alive, and if I did know, I have no reason to believe he's not still back in our world,)" Cosplay replied sternly. After all, since they were at the same location when they were separated from each other, they should've woken up near each other. Even if that weren't true, they would've ran into each other at Life Sphere by now. After all, when they were separated, he had at least 5 other Pokemon that were better qualified when it came simply to protecting him.

She had even more reason than Dragonite to be increasingly frustrated or worried. But for now she would have to learn how to be more independent. She then watched as some weird thing appeared suddenly. "(I just had to ask!)" she said as she turned around and ran a little bit before noticing Dragonite wasn't following. Hastily, she pulled a Pokeball out of her bag and hurled it at the weird thing. She didn't know if it was empty or not, and she didn't care.

ngXAQ6iAp_1d20+2

The Pokeball probably wouldn't hit its mark, but upon hitting it or the ground, it would release a Pokemon so ancient, Cosplay never heard of it or seen it. It was Genesect. It then fired its cannon at the odd creature.

"(What are you doing?! You can't reunite with your trainer if you die, and I won't last long enough to hold him off for you to make sure your Trainer isn't facing something similar!)" Cosplay pointed out.1d20+2·1d20+3

Jill

Jill jumped into the puddle and suddenly felt an intense dragging feeling. The water strangely had a strong current to it that immediately pulled Jill under and no matter how hard she tried to fight it, the current was winning. The current pulled her through a tunnel that looked oddly organic despite being in a high tech facility. At the end of the little ride, the water would shoot her out into an equally as odd place.

The room she was spit into looked like it was made of plastic on all ends. There was a plastic bathroom counter, a plastic toilet and a plastic bathtub which was filled with the water Jill was shot out of... This was a very odd room for science labs. Nothing in the room even worked as if it was just a toy. There was a shut door opposite the bath tub that seemed to be the exit... Her allies seemed missing though... It does not look like  the current would let her backtrack to find them either.

Dra0n173 and C0splay P1ka2

The strange creature just floated still as Dragonite went to punch it. It was a direct hit too as the punch went right through the monster's body!... However it did not seem to care at all that a large lizard just punched right through it... Worst was Dragonite's arm became stuck in whatever the creature was made of. Though he easily punched through it, whatever the thing was made of seemed actually to be quite thick. What made it worst though was the glitch was sending a steady stream of pain through Dragonite's arm to his body. Maybe punching something that had a corrupting nature on the objects around it was not a good idea.

uw6OdZBKp_1d20(MissingNo's corruption on Dragonite, must be endured with CON until breaking free)

The Pokeball also soared right through the mysterious being's body and landed on the other side. Out of it came a Genesect that fired it's lasers at MissingNo... However they went right through the thing's body... Which meant the attacks were going for Dragonite instead. Fortunately though, with Dragonite's fist in the monstrosity it could not make any movements for the Pikachu.

(Dragonite takes a -2 Mod penalty for dodging the Genesect attack due to restricted movement. You may make a STR roll to break free from the MissingNo. The roll must exceed 11)

Iris and Shaymin

".... It smells like... you?" Shaymin asked with a tilt of her head. That sounded very odd if it smelled like Iris... Water is not exactly renown for smelling like people. Shaymin decided to raise her nose however and give a few more sniffs.

p_1d20+3

... That was strange... It did not smell like Iris at all to Shaymin... It smelt more like... wet grass and flowers... which sounded like it would smell a bit more like her. "That is because it is a lab building for scientists, not a house... Still not normal though... I would not touch the-" Shaymin began until noticing a ripple in the water that turned into some kind of static. Then the Iris would feel a harsh tug as the Hot Springs felt like it was trying to pull Iris in by force. Shaymin quickly let loose a blue glow as a similar glow appeared around Iris as she tried to fight the waters with her psychic power.

The waters appeared stronger though as Shaymin struggled. "I-It's too strong! T-try to push back with me!" Shaymin requested as the Hot Springs tried to pull Iris under.

Jill was torn out of the Drill Dozer as both were thrown around, desperately covering her mouth as they were sucked down a tunnel, finally spitting both pieces of debris out into a room. Jill picked herself up, feeling this was far too familiar to how most of her missions started.

She dove into the Drill Dozer as soon as it hit her she was out of it, peering into the bathtub she had popped out of. Nobody else followed. A wave of exasperation consumed her, of course they didn't follow! How stupid, did they even listen to her!?

She grumbled venomously to herself as she turned for the door, she didn't have time to wait for them to realize their own mistake, she just wanted to get out of here. She tapped the walls curiously as she advanced on the door, plastic, perfect! If anything went wrong, she could drill out of here!

Confidence restored, she strode through the door.

RHKZDUHSp_1d20+6 (Dragonite's corruption resistance)

Dragonite just sort of stared at Missingno as it attempted to corrupt him. His massive, powerful body easily resisted the corruption, so much so that he didn't even seem to feel it. The pokemon seemed utterly unimpressed even, his nose wrinkling in disgust. What was this stuff? Suddenly however, he was distracted by the blast of energy shooting right for him.

p_1d20-5 (Dragonite's dodge)
p_1d20 (Dragonite's Damage Calculation)

...and he just sort of stared at it, not even bothering to move out of the way. The blast collided with him, but failed to move the thousand pound monster even an inch. Though it rocked his body, he took the attack like a man and promptly shot the genesect a dirty look. Thanks for that, friendo. Before he could really ponder what to do next, however, the tiny baby pokemon raised an interesting point of view. Huh. ...He'd never thought about it that way before! He supposed she did have a point. If he wasted his time with this tiny baby enemy right now, Iris might be in danger! Reluctantly, he prepared to leave--only to find that Missingno was stuck to his hand.

p_1d20+5 (Dragonite's Superpowered Hand Cleaning)

He tried to shake Missingno off, but it wasn't quite effective enough. Becoming irritated, Dragonite began to glow with a blue energy, and promptly used his strength to smack Missingno against the wall and wipe him off like some kind of giant glitch booger. ("...Gross.") he remarked lamely. ("Let this be a lesson to you.") he would go on to grumble, rudely turning his back on Missingno and moving to retreat down the hole Jill had vanished into.

Meanwhile, suddenly the hot tub was trying to eat Iris! The young champion wobbled on her heels, bending over and digging them in as she was dragged towards the edge. "Wh-What is happening?!" she blurted out as she struggled with an invisible force.

p_1d20-1

Luckily, however, Iris wasn't all that weak. Clenching her fists and yanking her arms, Iris managed to find the strength to pull herself free from the water. However, as she freed herself she was thrown wildly off balance, staggering uncontrollably for a moment before abruptly falling on her butt. ...She couldn't help but notice that something unexpectedly soft had broken her fall. For a moment she was grateful--but then it occurred to her. Hey wait a moment, something wasn't right here. She got up and checked underneath her, only to discover she had managed to fall on Shaymin. "...Whoops! Sorry about falling on you." she would apologize, moving to lean over and gently pet the bridge of Shaymin's nose in an apologetic manner. Her wild side was telling her that was probably where a hedgehog pokemon would appreciate petting--if they appreciated it at all. "I hope this house doesn't keep trying to surprise us. I'm getting a little freaked out." Iris would admit. She was all for challenges, but this was the type of challenge that was more upsetting than it was fun. "Anyway, are you alright..? I guess we should find another way out." Iris would muse aloud, taking another look around the room to try and find something she might've forgotten in her moment of panic.

Cosplay was glad that Dragonite listened finally as she made her way to the puddle... That was apparently some underwater tunnel. While she was a little envious of him due simply because he had some idea about where his trainer was, she waited to see if Dragonite made it to the so called puddle. If he did make it, she would quit sending electricity into her tail before following him inside. The only thing she was sure about was that it would take them deeper inside.

[Coolshaymin]

Jill

The door opened lead to some kind of... plastic bedroom of some kind. It was a really odd sight as all the heart shaped furniture seemed to be made of plastic... As if Jill was in some kind of dollhouse. There were windows that peered outside too... except the outside looked like a massive void of 1's and 0's for some odd reason. It also seemed oddly... consistent compared to the rest of the building... if you can call what feels like a doll house consistent in a labortory. Anyway, there was a door on the south wall... There was also two Pokemon like Dolls sitting on two chairs against the wall... They also seemed to watch your movements despite not moving. There was also a sudden splash from the bathroom, two of them. Sounds like the other two made it.

---

Dragonite and Pikachu

The strange creature did not seem to have any effect on the dragonite as it shrugged off the corruption. It was quite mysterious what exactly this dragon was made of... About as mysterious as the creature itself. The MissingNo was probably suprised as the dragon bashed it into the war and wiped it off. Though... One could not really tell from it's lack of a face. It was a bit scrambled by the beast's force before it built itself back together code by code. It seemed to be too slow however as it was forced to watch the two plunge into the puddle. It merely stayed floating there until it staticed out of existance... for now, the area there returning to.... somewhat abnormal.

The puddle lead to the same plastic bathroom as Jill. Except the door was open and she was already in the bedroom.

---

Shaymin and Iris

Shaymin was relieved as there was no longer any force working against her. She tiredly relinquished her Psychic on Iris for a second and laid down. She had to look up however as it somehow got dark despite her being the source of like... Then everything went black.

 Shaymin just laid there on her belly as Iris got up with her eyes rolling from dizziness. Shaymin shakingly got up on their feet and shaked their head back to it's senses before looking around. "I-I'm okay... And it's not a house!" Shaymin pointed out again. Shaymin sighed before focusing again and shining their shining light again to brighten the room.

There were two open doors leading into different rooms. However, even with Shaymin's light it was near impossible to see the inside. There were two signs. The door on the left had a sign that said "Ex---i---t-- ---" and the other saying "P-ar--cy". "... I can only make out Exit and Parcy... these signs are really getting annoying with how unhelpful they are," Shaymin stated. Though she did sound kind of worried.

[Deleted]

Jill shuddered at the two dolls, geez, was this a horror movie or something!?

She smiled as the other two arrived, "Took the two of you long enough, eh?" She grumbled, trying to sidestep around the dolls that watched her, "Any idea what these two are?" She whispered, preparing the Drill Dozer for either a fight or quick escape.

Dragonite emerged from the bathroom and began steadily making his move through the room, stopping only to view the endless void of nonsense. What... exactly was he looking at? Dragonite would stare for a long moment, trying to make sense of it to no avail. He recognized that those were human numbers, but they were acting in an unexpected and frankly bizarre way. What was that all about? ("...I don't like this place.") Dragonite remarked in an exasperated tone, moving to mess with the south door.

---

MKTb6qpNp_1d20-1

Iris would move over to the signs, leaning over to get a better look at what they said. It was all a bunch of nonsense to the young girl, however. "Exit sounds pretty good to me." she would remark with a shrug, entirely oblivious to the obvious trap. That sign definitely didn't say exit, and there weren't a whole lot of words starting with the letters 'e' and 'x', but this warning was lost on her. "What do you think? Head on in?" she would ask Shaymin.

Cosplay glanced behind her to make sure that... thing didn't follow them. She then followed Dragonite to see the Pink haired girl. And then the girl pointed out the so called dolls, causing Cosplay's fur to bristle in response. She had seen one of them, Shuppet, quite a few times in Hoenn. If there was anything she knew about Ghost types, it was not to let your guard down in an area they could be in. "(You're telling me. Those two are Ghost types found in my homeland,)" Cosplay whispered to Dragonite.

She wasn't sure if it was a good idea to let on to the dolls that she was aware they could easily be the real things.She could just as easily be paranoid  She looked around briefly, scanning the room in search for another door as the windows had 'bad idea' written all over them. She then quickly returned her gaze to the dolls. She was tempted to shock the Shuppet to make sure it was fake. Why did Shaymin have to be the one to follow the Trainer anyway? It's not like that girl can understand us, and I have no means of communication, she thought.

[Coolshaymin]

Jill, Dragonite and Cosplay Pikachu

Dragonite tried what looked to be the only means of escape and he would feel an intense surge of shock and a static would cover the door when he tried. It would appear they are trapped here... That is until a dark and twisted laugh echoed throughout the room. "So, you wish to abandon us like the others? I would think people would have more appreciation for toys... Thought that will end for you soon," The voice continued to echo. The Banette then tilted it's head to indicate it was the thing speaking. "Soon you will just be a motionless toy like the ones before you. Then playtime will be permanent! Khehehehehehehehe!" The laugh echoed across the room and suddenly the door that Dragonite was near swung open.

(Dragonite: Roll a 10 or higher to avoid getting hit by the door)

The door seemed to lead into what looked like a closet. Inside was a bunch of dolls... Most of which seemed to be in lab coats... "But first, I must show you a little trick," The Banette said before the shuppet rose and flew into the Banette before the Ghost Type let off a great glow before turning into... Mega Banette.

"Since we are in a 'playful' mood, we will give you a fighting chance. Do not bore us. Khehehehehehehehe."

Shaymin and Iris

I2ZYDjYUp_1d20+2

Shaymin listened to Iris's suggestion and thought about it... Exit... That clearly sounded like a trap... But maybe that is what whoever is doing this wants them to think. They have to search the place for that flower anyway... And besides that Hot Springs, they have not seen anything yet... Still, what experiments were being done here? "Yeah, we might as well. Maybe it contains some info on this place that can help finding the others and the Thunderhead," Shaymin agreed before leading the way to the 'exit'.

Shaymin shone her bright light into the room as they entered... And it looked like... a wide open field? Shaymin even stopped their torch as she noticed it was like this place had natural sunlight. Yet there were invisible walls serving as walls all over the place. There were several pods along the left 'wall' that seemed emptied out. There were screens along the sky that showed various Pokemon being injected and distorted among other generally disturbing things. There was a computer on the back 'wall' and a lab table that had various techno babble notes. There was also an SD Card lying on the table. Strange... though the pods looked empty... Shaymin could not help but feel she was being watched by someone other than Iris.

Jill stared in fascination at the talking doll, starting to prepare the Drill Dozer. There was no way she could think of to get out of a fight, she'd fought a lot more powerful creatures and robots anyway, no doll was going to bring her down!

"Mouse!" She barked, "Unless you can fight this, get behind me! Dragon, you're big, help me!" Even she could tell she had no right to order around these Pokemon, but for now, she felt she was the most experienced fighter here, even if she was a thief. She also knew they had Trainers but for now decided she was enough to serve as one.

She smiled widely as the Drill Dozer's hands shook with the force of the movement of the drills, "Come and get me!" She taunted far more arrogantly than a girl as young as her had any right being, shooting off at a faster speed than could be expected for a robot of the Drill Dozer's size. She jammed one drill to the ground and rotated sharply toward the doll, thrusting forward one arm.
