The Reason [Mod]

[Lazarus]

---

"Vulcan, be honest with me. Does the ambience of our Head Master's mansion say something else to you?"

A lone red head asked his partner, a red coated Houndoom. The larger than average Houndoom nodded his head as even he could feel a different kind of danger in this area. As the duo kept walking, the soft carpet muting their paces, the two could not help but gaze upon the narrow hall way that had several paintings lined up on the wall.

Several of them had faded, others even damaged but the startling amount was just that, startling. Walking along, Laz lowered the volume of his head phones and made sure to let one of his ears out of it, just to make sure he could hear something that wasn't from AX7.

As you continue your stroll through the haunted seeming mansion, noises appear to have started with every foot step. Suddenly they became more vivid & clear. Though only in the very entrance, maybe you should try to either leave or take the mysterious door up a head. Mean while the sounds are becoming more creepy, haunted, and ghostly like.

Summarize:

• Noises can be heard & are becoming louder.
  
• A door is up a head.
  
• I love kingsley

"Do I need to say more?"

Laz asked with a chuckle as Vulcan sniffed the air, his nose pointing at the direction of the door. They both knew that they'd be going. Vulcan just wanted to prepare himself.

Putting up his guard, Vulcan led the way towards the door, his Trainer following. As the sounds got louder, Laz geared himself up. Turning off his music and keeping them safe on his person as he tightened his black gloves on his hands.

Walking through the door, all your guard could be dropped. It was nothing but a small hallway filled with paintings. The noises had subsided for the time being. All the of the pictures seemed to have moving eyes & be paintings of pokemon. It'd be nice if you noticed them.

Summarize:

• The noises stopped.
  
• Theres nothing here but paintings
  
• I woke up a little late today.

"This...Vulcan, doesn't this place sometimes make you feel at home?"

Laz asked as his Houndoom began to give off the smallest traces of mirth. A small grin like smile appearing on his face. It looked like Vulcan was actually having fun here. Laz had to supress a chuckle at the scene, his Houndoom never was one who smiled a lot so this was a nice change of pace.

Pulling out a pokeball, Laz pulled out Kostya, The purple Gengar making it's way to our world as it smiled the biggest skill you'll ever see. If it wasn't a ghost, Laz was willing to vet it's face just got cut in half.

"You feel like those things are following us?" Laz asked his pokemon, both who nodded at the creeping feeling as they made their way down through the hallway, tension in their bodies as they put up their guard.

The noises are rising again, this time much louder than before. They sounded like vicious screams & as if someone was being raped and murdered at once. Sudden rumbling occurred, a more screams could be heard from the door up a head. However the door behind you was quiet and peaceful.

Summarize:

• Theres noises up ahead
  
• Behind you, there are no noises
  
• I would go back...and forward
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"Hmph. We've braved Volcanoes and Pseudo-Legendaries. A few screams aren't gonna stop us."

Laz smirked with malice as he stepped forward, his pokemon following him yet...Kostya stopped on his tracks. As if sensing that going back would be the smarter and wiser choice.

"Gengar."

Kostya said, a small bite in his voice as he turned his back to his Trainer and looked at the room at the back. With a look that told Vulcan and Laz that there was no question, both Vulcan and Laz could only shrug.

Turning on their heel, the duo followed the Gengar who was silently floating towards the back door, where the deafening silence came about, curiosity painted on its face like war paint on a joker.

[Raize Phoenix]

As you intelligently turn around, the silence begins to become noise. Entering the room you see a Yamask preparing two shadow balls, aimed right at you! The Yamask wasnt the everyday ghost. It was pissed. Some kid just wandered in, thinking they could do whatever they want? They were right, but Yamask would prove them wrong with force! It held both palms forward, firing shadow balls right at you!

Summarize:

• Yamask appeared!
  
• Its launched 2 shadow balls!
  
• "Im ready to shoot!~"
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"Tch."

Laz grunted as he saw the Yamask suddenly appear. He was caught off guard by the sudden intrusion and his mind came to a stop as he saw the Shadow Balls headed for him, and not his pokemon.

The few precious seconds of that image was burned into Laz's memory as he swallowed what fear he had and gritted his teeth. Now was not the time to dwell on such things.

When the Shadow Balls had been fired right at him, he didn't even need to open his mouth to give an order as his Gengar had darted in between the Shadow Balls and the red head. Releasing a Dark Pulse as the Shadow Balls neared, Kostya had managed to push the attack just far enough that it veered towards opposite sides of him and his trainer.

Vulcan on the other hand had Howled as he leapt over Kostya, his fangs glowing a dim, greyish kind of light. His fangs bared for a deadly Crunch right at the Yamask that had dared to hurt his Master.

"..." The ghost type didnt say anything. Instead of making any form of communication, it carried on with the battle. "..." It watched as Vulcan charged forward to the human's side. It stare awkwardly, seeing it help the trainer just like the gengar. "..." As the dog came closer to it, it sped to the side. It looked back to the ghost bye the trainer & fired another shadow ball!

Summarize:

• Yamask dodged your attack!
  
• Its launched another shadow ball at gengar!
  
• "Mom had a chicken, Dad had a cow."
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"Tch. Break him down."

Laz ordered as he tugged on his jacket and rolled out of the way of the telegraphed Shadow Ball. His roll being executed properly and allowing him to escape from that dangerous attack that could have ripped his arm off had he not evaded.

Kostya then charged at it, his hands brimming with power as he launched a double Shadow Ball at the Yamask, having taken careful aim to increase accuracy, even by a bit and make sure the opponent gets hurt.

Vulcan had given up on trying to reach it with his fangs. Flanking the Yamask, Vulcan fired a Flamethrower at it, hoping to incinerate the little pest.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

Yamask took note of all the attacks & also saw that all of these piling on attacks had made it more agitated. With this being said, its face became even less emotional. The ghost seemed to have been preparing for these attacks. Seeing its own move miss made it more agitated but it began to care less & less by the second. "..." A sudden light green aura surrounded it, protecting it from any damage coming its way.

Summarize:

• Yamask used protect!
  
• It doesnt seem to have any emotions.
  
• "Deck the halls!"
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"Continue."

Laz ordered as he walked around the battle field, trying to get a good glimpse on how his pokemon were doing. The Yamask had cleverly used Protect, making sure that it was well protected from all forms of attack for that moment.

Kostya didn't care about it. With increasing fervor, the Gengar had even sent another pair of Shadow Balls at the Yamask, wanting to break through and critically damage it, making sure the pokemon won't have a second chance.

Vulcan remained steadfast with his Flamethrower, releasing another one at the Yamask's flank, still intent on burning it to the ground.

Yamask's barrier only lasted for a minute. It hehled back the first few attacks, but it would most likely just save its uses for later. It looked at the new incoming attacks & floated upward to dodge the shadow balls & used ominous wind to hold of the flamethrower. "..." It saw it could not win the battle against these two & floated higher up, soon fading into the ceiling.

Summarize:

• Yamask dodged the attacks, barely.
  
• It fled.
  
• It might want you to follow.

[Lazarus]

"Tch. We're following it."

Laz said as he held back on ordering his pokemon to just blast the house down, seeing as this was an inhabited area by the Head Master of the school. Surely, destroying his property was tantamount to a pretty bad punishment.

Turning around, Laz re-traced his steps back to where he was and found the door where the screaming was happening a short while back. His pokemon by his side, Laz stepped forward and headed towards the room of screams.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

When you reached the room of screams, the door opens before you even open it. Ahead rested a Golurk standing still. It appeared to be sleeping, while...standing? Well either way, this pokemon wouldnt try to do anything to you, so you should keep it going.

Summarize:

• Golurk Appeared!
  
• Its sleeping....and standing!
  
• I wanna live in a pineapple!
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"Keep it quiet."

Laz whispered like air to his pokemon who had suddenly tensed at the sight of a massive pokemon that was standing, seemingly waiting for them. The Golurk wasn't moving but it gave off the vibes that it was sleeping. The doors having opened themselves, Laz didn't have to bother himself with making so much more noise.

Silently creeping next to the walls, doing it to help prevent the noise from the floor, Laz and his team bypassed the Golurk, not wanting to wake it up and cause unneeded destruction inside a potential bomb house.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

As you slither past the sleeping golem, you find yourself near two doors. One on the right, with a picture of stairs going up on it. The other on the left, having a picture of a skull on it. The sleeping pokemon seems to be waking up, so you might wanna hurry.

Summarize:

• Two doors appear!
  
• Golurk is waking up!
  
• I wish I was spongebob!
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"C'mon."

Laz said as he hurriedly walked towards the Skull Door. Increasing his pace at the same rate as the Golurk had began to wake up. His pokemon were hot on his heels as they reached the door.


Well, they were here. Might as well go in. Laz stepped towards the unknown are along with his pokemon.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

An enormous thud sound rang from the door slamming behind you. The room was empty...Dark....Cold...Leave or go up the stairs. But if you leave, you might not be where you were.

Summarize:

• Two options!
  
• Upstairs or turn back.
  
• "I feel pretty!"
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"..."

Laz stayed silent as he felt the loss of sight. The room was too dark to make out anything except the little light that illuminated where the stairs were. Regardless of what was happening, he did need to pay the Yamask back for trying to hurt him.

With a hop to his step, Laz went up the stairs, hoping to find the thing that was wanting pain.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

"..." The room you were led too, has oddly bright lighting. Its so bright, but not blinding! The light made things a bit blurry for both you and the pokemon. Suddenly the lights cut off, only to relight. Now much dimmer. A small metal circle attached to a string could be seen above a purple flame. It drifted back and forward. You could turn around or come closer.

Summarize:

• Two options!
  
• Come closer or go back!
  
• "West Side Story For The Win!"
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"That's one hell of a Chandelier."

Laz said as he finally got better control of his eyesight; the sudden bright light hurting his eyes. A few more seconds of getting used to the dimmer light, Laz still had to squint to even see that what was hanging by the ceiling.

"Let's get a closer look, the Yamask might be behind it again."

Laz said as Kostya inched closer to the area, Vulcan looking around and making sure that nothing was gonna ambush them in this state.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

Coming closer to the light, a hypno steps out from the shadows. It ives you a silent stare, attempting to figure out what you want here? It wants you to turn around as well, but it doesnt mind if you stay.

Summarize:

• Hypno appeared!
  
• It doesnt mind if you stay or leave.
  
• "I want a donut <.<"
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"A Hypno...?"

Laz wondered aloud as he saw the figure emerge from the darkness around the room, its pendulum in its hands. Not feeling any hostility from either of his pokemon, who were both relatively calm, Laz began to pace around the room, looking for another way out.

And another prey should this Hypno even dare attack him. Vulcan on the other hand steadily followed, his razor black eyes keeping tracks of the Hypno's movements as his body tensed with every move.

Kostya was Chill.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

The hypno gives a blank stare & takes a few steps away from where it stood. It then goes the path you came from. Its pendulum wandereing side to side. It took smal awkward steps until it finally was out of sight. It had no interest in you what so ever. However the door behind where it once stood was white as snow but with a black handle. It had a picture of a door on it, so..it may be a hallway.

Summarize:

• Hypno left.
  
• A white door was behind it.
  
• Nabari No Ou is epic.
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"Well, I don't see any other exits and the Yamask isn't here."

Laz commented as he looked around the room, noticing the Hypno leaving as a white door with a blank handle took its place. With nothing better to do, the trio walked side by side and headed for the door.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

Yountinue towards the door & begin to hear some noises. It sounds like a battle! The winner was decided a while ago, the looser is just trying to stand up. Sounds like they are laying it down in there!

Summarize:

• You here noises!
  
• It must be a bttle!
  
• Band Camp...
  

--Mod Post--

[Lazarus]

"We've faced worse things."

Laz sneered as he kept going, nothing was going to stop him and the sounds of battle only encouraged him more. He was prepared, his strongest pokemon were by his side and he had nothing to be afraid of.

Let's Do This.

[Raize Phoenix]

--Mod Post--

The door opens by itself, with no more sounds being made. In the dark distance a lunatone was fading away. Probably leaving. However, there remained a ghost pokemon on the floor! Defeated by the leaving lunatone. It was a spiritomb!

Summarize:

• Lunatone is getting away!
  
• Spiritomb..Is lying on the floor...KO'd.
  
• Im a Weenie
