00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
This podcast may contain horror elements and some graphic descriptions of blood and violence that may be unsuitable to some audiences.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Discretion is advised.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:20,000
JIRACHI - "Arceus, He's unstoppable!"

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
ARCEUS - "It can't be. Jirachi, can't you do anything to stop Him either?"

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The wind blew stronger every second, coming from the shattered ceiling and walls of the temple's chamber.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Arceus and Jirachi held on to whatever jutting rubble they could to keep themselves from being pulled into the ominous dark portal that sat open just outside the large shattered stained glass windows.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
JIRACHI - "I... aah! I can usually grant any wish, but He is too strong, and drains me of my power!"

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
The mythical Pokémon struggled to keep its hold on a stone pillar as it spoke.

9
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
JIRACHI - "It's as if the entire fabric or reality were slowly bending. If only He weren't so much like you!"

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
ARCEUS - "(Jirachi is right. My greatest mistake yet was having allowed Him to come here.)"

11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
ARCEUS - "(Of course, as soon as he got what he wanted, he betrayed me.)"

12
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:21,000
JIRACHI - "No legendary Pokémon can simply wish Arceus away, and no mythical Pokémon can either, let alone a normal Pokémon!"

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
JIRACHI - "And since He is now nearly identical to you in power, nothing I throw at Him can have any effect. If nothing is not to stop Him--"

14
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,000
ARCEUS - "He will corrupt everything, and this world will be doomed if we don't destroy the source of His power. There must be a way to reach it."

15
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
JIRACHI - "But we can't possibly do that now! I am sorry Arceus. I've failed you!"

16
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
ARCEUS - "Unless... perhaps we have not lost yet, Jirachi!"

17
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:56,000
The legendary Pokémon had a moment of realization. He dug his feet into the ground to try to keep himself steady, but at this point, even he had begun to shift.

18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Both him and Jirachi would soon be engulfed by the darkness awaiting them at the end of the room, sucking them into the portal no matter how hard they fought back.

19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:17,000
ARCEUS - "He may be practically unaffected by our power. And perhaps no Pokémon in this world can hurt Him at all. However, there is something else."

20
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:26,000
ARCEUS - "Completely unknown to Him. Something whose origins don't apply to anything I've taught Him. Perhaps we can use that."

21
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
JIRACHI - "You don't mean...?"

22
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,000
ARCEUS - "Yes, Jirachi. I shall make another wish, and this time it will be worth it."

23
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
ARCEUS - "Do it now! Bring him to me!"

24
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
JIRACHI - "As you wish, Arceus!"

25
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Finally, Jirachi let go of the pillar. Concentrating all its energy into a glowing orb, it launched it into the air just in time,

26
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Before disappearing into the darkness...

27
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
JIRACHI (fading) - "May your wish be granteeeeed...!"

28
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
ARCEUS - "Jirachi..."
Arceus felt dark limbs enveloping his own.

29
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
ARCEUS - "Indeed. May it be granted, indeed."

30
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000
And then, just like that... everything went dark.

31
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Until a little spark of hope lit up, far away.

32
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Are you ready, Kyle?

33
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Arceus' wish - Chapter One:

34
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Kyle.

35
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:37,000
KYLE - "The room is so cold."

36
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
KYLE - "Is my window open?"

37
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
KYLE - "Whoa!"

38
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000
In trying to stand up, Kyle fell flat on the floor. His legs felt different, as did his arms.

39
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
His head felt heavier than usual, and his thumbs felt numb to the point where he could no longer feel them.

40
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
KYLE - "What's happening?"

41
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:02,000
He finally decided to open his eyes. In one decisive motion, he pulled them open and took in... nothing.

42
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000
All around him was a deep black void, so pure and so solid that Kyle felt his eyes hurt as the dark pressed itself on them.

43
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
KYLE - "I can't see a thing. (falls) ugh!"

44
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
"I assume now we'll have to crawl."

45
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Kyle pushed himself up onto all fours, realizing his feet were flat on the floor, however, and that his knees were not bent.

46
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
He couldn't help but cringe at the strange sensation.

47
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000
KYLE - "All right, so all I gotta do is bend my knees and crawl, right?"

48
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
KYLE - "Oh no!" (falls)

49
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
KYLE - "Ah...! Grrrr."

50
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Kyle stared dead ahead and saw a small blue glow. He reached for it, but its source was too far to touch.

51
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
KYLE - "Is that coming from my computer?"

52
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Frowning, Kyle decided to move towards the light. He straightened yet again, this time in the same crawling position as before,

53
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,000
and allowed his limbs to move as they pleased to push him forward, making the task of walking little more than involuntary.

54
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
A couple more wobbles came and went, but Kyle felt better.

55
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Somehow, this had begun to feel like instinct, almost like a memory.

56
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
The glow grew ever brighter and larger as he approached it, until it was too much light for his eyes to absorb.

57
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Kyle instinctively raised his arm up to shield his face, and for the first time actually saw it.

58
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Not only could he not feel his thumbs, but they weren't there at all.

59
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Instead, fuzzy stubs grew from his palms, where his fingers were supposed to be.

60
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
KYLE - "I have... paws?!"

61
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Astonishment and fear washed over him, and he for the first time realized his tongue, teeth, and lips were not the same either.

62
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Longer, sharper, thinner.

63
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
KYLE - "What am I? Am I dreaming?"

64
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Suddenly, the cold dulled and intensified. The sound of rushing wind and crashing waves grew louder,

65
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
although Kyle could feel neither one; only the chill which etched itself through to his bones.

66
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
ARCEUS (disembodied) - "Walk into the light."

67
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
KYLE - "What? Why? Who are you? What?"

68
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
ARCEUS - "In time, you will know, but we have not much of it at this moment."

69
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
KYLE - "Who... ARE you?"

70
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Kyle could see his breath swirling into mist before him, and he felt himself being pulled, then dragged into the source of the intense light.

71
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
KYLE - "Stop! Please! Wherever you are, I..."

72
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000
ARCEUS - "Do not attempt to battle your fate. I am certain you will pull through whatever He sends your way."

73
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
KYLE - "He?"

74
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:29,000
ARCEUS - "You must find your own way in the world from this point onward, but do not worry. Your instincts will soon come to you, Kyle."

75
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Before either could say any more, the intense cold snapped into excruciating heat.

76
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
KYLE - "Whoa! It's so hot all of a sudden! What is this? What's happening?" (woosh)

77
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:46,000
KYLE - "Aaaaaah!"

78
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
KYLE - "Oh, help! Whoa..."

79
00:06:51,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Beating his strange new limbs was all Kyle could do. He had never learnt to swim before and figured that plunging from the sky into the ocean was not the best way to learn.

80
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,000
The fall hadn't been the worst part. He had been unconscious for most of it, but now his eyes scanned for land.

81
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Just a little far off in the distance, he could see a beach, a single lone cabin perched on it.

82
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
He tried his hardest not to gasp in any water each time his head went under.

83
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
KYLE - "Help! Somebody help me! I can't swim! Hey!"

84
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000
"What? Something's... holding onto me! It's pulling me under!"

85
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Kyle fought against whatever it was that had just grabbed a hold of him.

86
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:48,000
He beat his limbs, managed to break the surface one more time, but eventually his sore body could no longer sustain the exertion.

87
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Kyle took the deepest breath of his life, hoping it would not be his last, before disappearing under the waves.

88
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
[Underwater sounds]

89
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Kyle opened his eyes so wide they hurt. He coughed out seawater and gasped desperately for air.

90
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
??? - "Thank goodness! Oh, you're lucky I've got lifeguard training!"

91
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Kyle weakly glanced up to see a Pokémon sitting before him, and espeon, swishing its tail.

92
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
KYLE - "Ow... When did I get here?"

93
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:39,000
??? - "You were drowning. A strangely violent tentacle tried to get a hold of you, but I pulled you out and cleared the water from your lungs. Just in time too it seems."

94
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
KYLE - "You can... talk? Am I still dreaming?"

95
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
??? - "Uh, you must be confused."

96
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
"Of course I can. How else would I have responded?"

97
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:56,000
KYLE - "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to say thank you. For... uh... saving me."

98
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
NILA - "Don't mention it. It was the right thing to do. My name is Nila. What's yours?"

99
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
KYLE - "Oh, I'm... Kyle. (Yes, I must still be asleep in bed.)"

100
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:11,000
NILA - "I didn't expect to see an Umbreon around here. Not even Pleada Town sees many eeveelution visitors. I'm not from here myself."

101
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
KYLE - "(Umbreon? So that's what I am, huh?)"

102
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
NILA - "Alright, let me help you up."

103
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
"So, how did you get so far from shore?"

104
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
"The town is some 10 minutes south of here, and you couldn't have gotten that far into the ocean on your own, not knowing how to swim."

105
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:42,000
KYLE - "This is going to sound crazy, but I woke up in a black void and was turned into this. I got dragged into a light and fell from the sky."

106
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
"So, here I am."

107
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Nila shook her head, trying to focus on what parts of his statements she could make any sense of.

108
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
NIL - "You weren't always an Umbeon. Does that mean you woke up suddenly evolved?"

109
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
KYLE - "I wasn't always a Pokémon, actually."

110
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,000
NILA - "I can tell you must've hurt your head somehow. Come with me. I think I can help you."

111
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Nila turned tail and walked towards a little neat wooden cabin, sitting atop some rocks not too far away from the shore.

112
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
NILA - "So, for now, you can sleep here. If it's okay with you, that is."

113
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,000
KYLE - "(That's a bed? Kinda looks like a big nest, with blankets on top.)"

114
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:30,000
The bed was round, though it fit quite nicely in the corner of the room, across from a second nest in the other corner, presumably meant for Nila herself.

115
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,000
KYLE "(Oh well, seems comfy enough. Maybe sleeping in my dream can wake me up in real life.)"
"It's fine. It's fine by me."

116
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
NILA "Don't worry, it's only until we get you someplace to live."

117
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Kyle shook his head.

118
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:50,000
KYLE "But I already have a home. I'm lost from it, but I have one. I had a human body, too, but I lost that as well."

119
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
"I really just want to go back."

120
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Part of him placed his experience as a dream, and yet, part of him felt like it was a familiar state of being, and it gave him a sense of homesickness he was looking forward to getting rid of.

121
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,000
NILA "I'm really sorry, Kyle, but I don't know where you used to live, or even what you say you used to be."

122
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:18,000
"Although I do think I know someone who might. I'll take you to him tomorrow, but you need to rest now."

123
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
KYLE "Sure. Thanks."

124
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Still unsure about anything and everything around him, Kyle did his best to settle down and sleep. He was exhausted, and out in a minute.

125
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:39,000
[Music]

126
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Slowly, Kyle's eyes fluttered open. By scent, he recognized the place he was in before anxiety got the better of him.

127
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
KYLE "(How do I remember the smell of everything? Is it because I'm...)"

128
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Kyle glanced at the floor and noticed a beam of sunlight split into diamonds. He turned around to face the wall behind him and saw a small window, the sun shining steadily brighter behind it.

129
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
He heaved himself along with his new body to look through it.

130
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:24,000
The warming lavender of sunrise greeted him, along with the fading image of a Pokémon's face: Inky black fur, ears shaped like thin footballs, each wrapped in a golden ring, one of which also sat right between the glowing red eyes.

131
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Not too far above a pointed black nose. The sudden appearance of the Pokemon startled Kyle. It was, to him, a complete stranger. Yet he knew it was only his own reflection.

132
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
"(This isn't dream, then...)"

133
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
He wasn't sure what to think or how to feel anymore.

134
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000
NILA "Morning. Feeling any better?"

135
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
KYLE "I'm great. Thank you. At least physically."

136
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Kyle managed to smile as he lied, not knowing what else to say. He didn't know why, but he felt Nila was someone he could trust.

137
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
"(Maybe by a weird... Pokémon instinct?)"

138
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
ARCEUS (flashback) "Your instincts will soon come to you, Kyle."

139
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
NILA "Are... you hungry?"

140
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
KYLE "Huh? What? Yeah, I... I guess so."

141
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:17,000
NILA "Good. We're going to Pleada Town Market. It'll give me a chance to show you the person I said I would too."

142
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
KYLE "Alright. Sounds good."

143
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
NILA "Are you sure you're alright?"

144
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Kyle merely nodded. He waited for her to leave the room and beckon him to follow before moving after her.

145
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:33,000
KYLE "So we're on an island, right?"

146
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:43,000
"And on this island, Pokémon eat bread and drink coffee and cook, build houses and a bunch of stuff that humans do?"

147
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000
NILA "Haha... I still don't know what you mean. Pokémon do that everywhere."

148
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:53,000
KYLE "You know, they stand on two legs, have two arms, usually no pointy ears or long noses or sharp teeth or..."

149
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,000
NILA "I'm sorry, but even in my travels, I don't think I've ever heard of a Pokémon called Human."

150
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
KYLE "But we're not..."

151
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,000
"So clearly, wherever we are, humans don't seem to exist at all. (How did I get here?)"

152
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000
NILA "So, how do you like our town?"

153
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
KYLE "Well, it's not as fancy as I'm used to, I guess, but everything seems to work nice and peacefully."

154
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:22,000
"How come you live so far from it? There's a park or two, some pretty cute stores, a bird-run mail service?"

155
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,000
NILA "Well, I... I don't know. I just like the beach and wanted to be close to it, I guess.

156
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
"Anyways, We've reached our destination."

157
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000
They'd made their way through town and finally reached a marketplace of sorts.

158
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Pokémon of all different kinds walking in every direction to purchase goods from the many different stands set up around the circular parlor.

159
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:50,000
In front of them was a small wooden fish stand, and on top of it, sitting beside the merchandise was an Oshawott wearing a sailor's hat, soundly asleep.

160
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
NILA "Afternoon, Josh!"

161
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
JOSH "AAAAAAH! How can I help you...? Oh."

162
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
"Hi, Nila. Who's this?"

163
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
KYLE "Hey, I'm Kyle."

164
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:10,000
NILA "I found him nearly drowning on the beach this morning. He claims to have been transformed into an Umbreon but used to be a human, and well I figured you'd know what that is."

165
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
JOSH "HUMAN?!"
Josh leaned over the fish stand to hold Kyle's cheeks with his small paws.

166
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
He wobbled, staring intensely into his eyes.

167
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
JOSH "Come with me! Now!"

168
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
He half-dragged the umbreon to the back of the stand.

169
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
JOSH "Who are you? How'd you get here?"

170
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
KYLE "I'm Kyle, and I don't know."

171
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
JOSH "Well, so tell me, Kale--"
KYLE "Kyle."

172
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
JOSH "Right! Right. Well, tell me what happened before you got here."

173
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:42,000
KYLE "Well, I went to sleep back home, and when I woke up... poof, turned into a umbreon. If you need more detail, I fell from the sky as well, but that's all I can tell you."

174
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000
JOSH "This is gonna sound weird, but I've heard my dad talk about humans before."

175
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
KYLE "Really? Was your dad a human?"

176
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,000
JOSH "Look, I don't-- I don't know if he's met people from a different world or if he is one, but he never said anything about that before."

177
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
KYLE "Right. But do you have any idea of how I can go back home?"

178
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,000
JOSH "No idea. If our dad was a human, he never seemed to worry about having someplace to go back to."

179
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
"This was his home, as far as he was concerned. He was one of the founders of our town."

180
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
KYLE "And you work at a fish stand?"

181
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000
JOSH "It's a family business!"

182
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000
"Besides,"

183
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
"He's not even in town right now."

184
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
"A little while ago, he left on some sort of trip."

185
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
"It's just been my brother and I, really, so it's not like I could ask him about any of this."

186
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
KYLE "(I don't know if I should tell him about the voice I heard... He'd probably not have any answers.)"

187
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
"(Or just get freaked out.)"

188
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000
JOSH "But I'm certain you'll find your way. You seem like a tough guy."

189
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
KYLE "Heh, thanks, I suppose."

190
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
??? "Well, I'm sure glad I found my way to whatever this is."

191
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Kyle and Josh turned, surprised to see a Fennekin sitting atop the stand.

192
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
??? "Hello, is anyone going to shopkeep around here?"

193
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
"Oh, hello there! Are you new in town?"

194
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
KYLE "Oh, hello, who might you be?"

195
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,000
FIONA "My name is Fiona, and I'm guessing yours is Kyle?"

196
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
KYLE "For how long are you watching?"

197
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000
FIONA "Well, see, I was going to buy a fish, but service here is usually better than this on Tuesdays."

198
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
JOSH "I'm not even usually here on Tuesday. It's my brother who..."

199
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
"Hey! Dewey couldn't work today, so you got me!"

200
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,000
"You only came here after him anyway. Don't think I didn't know. You were never one for eating fish."

201
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
FIONA "What are you talking about? I eat fish all the time."

202
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
JOSH "Either way, he's busy. So there's no need for you to be here if you're not going to buy anything."

203
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
FIONA "Well, how rude of you! Hehe..."

204
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
NILA "Hey, I've been waiting on the other side for a while. What's going on?"

205
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,000
JOSH "Fiona's being annoying."

206
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
FIONA "Well, Josh here is refusing service."

207
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
JOSH "Shut up! I was busy, that's all!"

208
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
FIONA "I can't exactly put my paw on what relationship you two have."

209
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,000
JOSH "It's only because she only ever comes here because of my brother, Dewey! He evolved a little while ago and now she won't leave him alone!"

210
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
KYLE "You sure seem to care a lot..."

211
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Josh immediately flushed.

212
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
JOSH "Eggghh!"

213
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000
He removed the sea shell from his stomach and tossed it onto the ground in frustration.

214
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
JOSH "Ungh!"

215
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
"Oh dear!"

216
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Regalizing what he'd done, he frantically picked it up and gently placed it back on his belly.

217
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Becoming aware of Kyle's presence once more, his expression closed and he stormed away.

218
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
KYLE "Oh, did I say something wrong?"

219
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
FIONA "Don't worry about it, that one's just a real character."

220
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
NILA "Well, I still would like to get my fish so I should go after him and..."

221
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
??? "Augh! Augh! Aaaauuuugh--!"

222
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
[BONE SNAPPING]
[CHOKING, GURGLING]

223
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
[THUD]

224
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
KYLE "What was that?"

225
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
All the Pokémon citizens turned around to face where the sound had come from.

226
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
"What's going on?"

227
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,000
"Oh no!"

228
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And, to Kyle's surprise, began stampeding in the opposite direction.

229
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
CROWD "Augh! This can't be happening!"

230
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
NILA "What's happening?"

231
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
CROWD "Come on! Let's get out of here!"

232
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000
As soon as the crowd had cleared the parlor and the dust settled, Nila, Kyle and Fiona slowly crept up from behind the fish stand.

233
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:03,000
They caught sight of Josh not too far away, just as a large shadow slid across the ground and settled on them.

234
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:14,000
They looked up to see the looming shape of a gengar, teeth bared in a menacing smile.

235
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,000
A tentacool floated beside it, its tentacles poised in the air, a pale purple aura-like glow surrounded them both.

236
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
And the lifeless body of a pidgeot sat at their feet.

237
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
JOSH "Nobody... move..."

238
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
The horrifying gengar's mouth remained static, yet the word came out loud and clear.

239
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
GENGAR "Hi."

240
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
JOSH "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

241
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Terrified, Josh took off running. The tentacool advanced towards him and whipped a tentacle at his feet, causing him to trip and roll on the ground until Nila caught him.

242
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
NILA "Let's get out of-!"

243
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
But the tentacool hadn't stopped: it circled to stand behind them and spread its tentacles menacingly.

244
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
KYLE "We... we're officially surrounded."

245
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
FIONA "What do you want with us? Leave us alone!"

246
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
GENGAR "We want him!"

247
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
The gengar was pointing right at Kyle.

248
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:14,000
NILA "Is that the same tentacool I rescued you from? Kyle, are you in trouble with some sort of Pokémon gang?"
KYLE "What? No! I don't even know these guys! I just want to go home!"

249
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
GENGAR "Enough. Die!"

250
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
The gengar launched a shadow ball at them.

251
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,000
NILA "Get away!"

252
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
She cast Protect to stop it in its tracks.

253
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Concentrating, she attacked it with psychic, but it wasn't very effective.

254
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
The gengar barrelled through her attack and was upon them before she was able to move away.

255
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,000
KYLE "Nila, look out!"

256
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,000
She narrowly dodged another attack from Gengar and turned to attack the tentacool with psychic.

257
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
It collapsed to the ground, giving them a window of opportunity.

258
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
NILA "Run! Everyone go!"

259
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:46,000
They all began to run out of the parlor and into town, Kyle doing so as fast as his new limbs could take him without tripping.

260
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
The gengar gave chase.

261
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:55,000
JOSH "You don't have anything to do with these guys, right?"
KYLE "What? I told you, I don't even know who they are!"

262
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
FIONA "Well, let's not stop to ask them now! They're catching up!"

263
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
The faster gengar went, the less Kyle could.

264
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
He was beginning to lose to his old friend exhaustion, so Josh stepped in.

265
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
JOSH "Take this, you big fat walking head!"

266
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
He launched water gun as hard as he could, hitting it home.

267
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000
GENGAR "Gahh!"

268
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
It was enough to grab Gengar's attention.

269
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
GENGAR "You... little!"

270
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:21,000
The gengar seemed to have forgotten about the others in its anger, and placed its focus on Josh, pacing towards him.

271
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
JOSH "Hey, uh!  N-no hard feelings, right!"

272
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
The tentacool turned to see what had happened, just as another jet of water struck it out of the air.

273
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
As it fell, a blur of blue crashed into it, sending it tumbling to the ground.

274
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
The blur landed and Josh recognized who it had been.

275
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
JOSH "Dewey?!"

276
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
DEWEY "Little bro, what's going on?"

277
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Giving no time to explain. Gengar attacked, Dewey, forcing him to back away.

278
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
It used the chance to leap at Josh and pin him down to the ground.

279
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
DEWEY "LITTLE BRO!"
KYLE "Hey!"

280
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Kyle was dazed by the situation and did not know what he was doing or why he was doing it.

281
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
But he'd gotten the gengar's attention back. It turned around.

282
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
KYLE "It... Is it not me that you want?"

283
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
The ghost's eyes slightly widened, as if it had suddenly realized something important.

284
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
GENGAR "That's right... it IS you... that we want."

285
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
JOSH "Kyle, what are you doi-?"

286
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Before Kyle could react, Shadowball had been launched, hitting him precisely on his flank.

287
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,000
KYLE "Ack!"
JOSH "Kyleeeee!"

288
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Kyle tumbled over and over, and realized as soon as he stopped that he could no longer feel his hind feet.

289
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Then his hind legs and his torso.

290
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Soon, his forepaws. He felt the blood rise to his head, burst out through his eyes and flow freely down his cheeks.

291
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
The pain was so immense he could only wish he were dead.
KYLE [Screams]

292
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Then, a familiar darkness surrounded him.

293
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Written and directed by Deppy Gomes, narrated by AxelGear.

294
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000


295
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000


296
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000


297
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000


298
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000
