Warm rays of sunlight stretched into the sky, mixing it into a soft orange-pink. Morning dew hung from the tiny blades of grass and a light mist hung only inches above the ground. A figure groggily walked towards the large lab that stood luming over the landscape. The only other sign of life the could be detected so far was a twitter of birds as they hopped around, scavenging for food.
Jacklyn padded forward lazily, her back arched forward, and her arms hanging limply beside her. Her eyes were half closed and she was desperately trying to keep herself from falling asleep where she stood. 'Why on earth did mom get me out of bed so early?!' Jacki asked in her mind. 'I bet the people here are still asleep!' Jacklyn heaved a sigh. She didn't even know how to get a starter pokemon. All she knew was that she was suppose to go to some lab outside of town. Or was it a mansion outside of town? Jacki shook her head in an attempt to clear it and straightened her back.
Letting out a yawn, Jacki reached an arm up to the sky, stretching. "Either way," She told herself. "I'm here and I can finally get one."
However, Jacklyn soon slumped back to her tired posture. Walking up to the door, she stopped and looked over the lab again, this time a little more carefully. After her 'inspection' Jacki found herself suddenly leaning her head forward, resting it on the door. She couldn't resist anymore. her eyes closed gently as she drifted off into a light doze.

(Ooc: There's actually a plot underway at the moment in 'Back at the Lab' where if you catch Herald, your reward is 20K! Tell me now what starter pokemon you want: shiny, shadow or rainbow; and you can join in with the plot that is behind the doors of the haunted Lab. Roleplay your way there of course! I'll help you get there!)
The huge university-like Lab loomed above her... Something about the place made it look ominous despite the beautiful morning around Jacklyn. |

((A normal Absol please!))
Jacki rubbed her head as she lifted it up. The lab seemed somehow forboding and dark, but she didn't understand why. Another yawn escaped her lips and blew away some of her sleepiness. She stood up and stared directly at the lab doors, and then, raising her right hand she loudly banged on it.
"Hello! Is anyone home?" She yelled, unaware of anything that might have been going on inside.

(Ooc: So you going to take part in the plot?)
A piercing screech from somewhere in the Lab broke the eerie silence.
The starters packs lay piled up on the Lab table near the door. A sign was put up on the wall for the Starters Pack Table:
TO BEGINNER TRAINERS: PLEASE TAKE A STARTERS PACK BEFORE YOU LEAVE |

((Sure.))
Jacki jumped at the loud screeching noise that erupted from the lab. Her heart was pounding out of control as she flung her head from side to side, making sure that there were no unexpected 'visitors' outside as well. When Jacklyn caught sight of nothing she noticed the table with starter packs sitting on it. She didn't contemplate much and quickly grabbed a pack and pushed the large door open. Every bit of her common sense was screaming at her to stay away, but Jacklyn ignored it and stepped hesitantly into the dark and sinister lab, unsure of what might happen next.

A ponyta, eevee and absol, in fear, bolted from the horrifying sound. They shot out of one the side doors. The ponyta and eevee shot down another corridor from the main lab hall that Jacklyn was in. The absol tried to follow but missed! It slammed into the wall!
Totally disoriented and confused it stumbled towards Jacklyn.
<Who am I? What am I doing here?> It said with stars dancing in it's eyes. Did it just forget it's memory? |

Jacklyn's eyes widened in fear, yet concern as the absol hit the wall. From there on instinct took hold of her and Jacki fell into a kneel beside the frightened pokemon. Her hand stretched out slowly to the black and white creature.
"Are you...all right?" She asked in a troubled tone. Gently, Jacklyn brought her hand down to pat the absol. "What's got you all scared like this?"
She was deeply confused. 'Is this really Proffesor Kass' lab?' She asked herself. It seemed much more like torture chamber. Jacklyn squinted her eyes, attempting to adjust her sight to the darkness.

<I dunno! What am I?> It said confused. A line of pokeballs lay on a benchtop on the righthand wall.
Clomp... Clomp... Clomp... Clomp...
The absol shook uncontrollably. <I think that's what I'm running from! RESCUE ME!>
What was that noise? Whatever it was, it was getting close!!! |

Jacklyn almost froze. The sound was getting closer and she was sure it wasn't good. She still could barely see in the dim room, but fortunately, a line of orbs caught her attention. 'Are those pokeballs?' She asked herself. Jacki swiped one from the benchtop not too far away from her and sighed with relief. They were pokeballs!
"You have to get out of sight for now." Jacklyn explained, "So please just go into this ball until it's safe!"
She rested the ball beside the shivering pokemon, hoping that it would do as she asked. The clomping noise still moved towards them at a deep, steady pace.

The absol, in terror remained in the ball. It placed it's trust in Jacklyn! It still didn't know who it was however!  ((Stats)) Nickname: (you choose) Species: Absol Gender: (You Choose) Level: 5 Attacks: Scratch, Faint Attack, Leer, Curse Ability: Pressure Persona: Strong-Willed Some invisible presence was in the same room they were in! They could hear it breathing! |

Jacklyn relaxed a bit as the absol retreated into the pokeball. The scarlet and white ball shrank to the smaller, travel-sized version, and so Jacki picked it up and hooked it securly to her belt loop on her pair of jeans. 'Good, now just stay there until it's safe again.' She secretly said to the absol.
Jacklyn straightened up and got to her feet. She knew full well that there was another creature inside the room, but she had no way of knowing what it was or where it was. Her ears were straining to pinpoint the breathing, but it was to no avail. Her eyes, well, they had been straining themselves since she first entered the lab.
"H-Hey!" Jacklyn stuttered, "Who are you? Do you know what's going on?"
Suddenly a thought came to Jacki's mind. The breathing had reminded her of something that she had heard before. A shiver ran down the girl's spine at the thought. Could it really be? She remembered clearly that night when it was raining so hard. Only one light in the house had been on. That was the night that her family had come together to watch a movie. She come re-watch that movie in her head. The scariest horror movie she had ever seen! The maniac killer had had really loud breathing in a dark room before he attacked the poor victim.
A truely terrified expression exploded onto Jacklyn's face. Could it be the killer?! Jacki felt another wave of shivers slithered down her back. Even though it was obvious to people with common sense, Jacklyn still had her mind set on that horror movie.

Clomp... Clomp...
Whatever it was tried to back off slowly. Whatever it was bought a real dark and depressing atmosphere into the front hall.
<Nothing's here!> It tried to make Jacklyn's mind tell her.
<It's just my imagination!> |

Jacklyn felt the air grow a bit colder and she wrapped her arms around her in an attempt to warm herself up. It had no effect. Suddenly a voice rang throughout her head. It tried to convince her to believe that there was nothing there in the room at all. Jacki looked around then brought up her right hand and held her head. A massive headache surged through Jacklyn's skull as the voice came.
"Maybe," She said to herself, "It is my imagination." Her right eye was closed shut and the trainer gritted her teeth. Suddenly, in a weird mood swing, Jacklyn swung back her head in half laughter.
"I must be going insane." She chuckled to herself.

Her absol now burst out of the ball, sensing this dark-mind-reading ability.
<Now I remember!> It said, heading down the one of the many corridors of the man Lab Hall.
<I ran past some trainers up ahead who dumped an invisible pokemon out in the hall!> |

Jacklyn looked down at the absol curiously. The voice inside her voice had mysteriously stopped talking to her, and now she could think a little more clearly. She began to follow the black and white pokemon down the darkened corridor, her mind very confused and befuddled.
"So there are other trainers here?" She replied.
In truth, Jacki felt a little better knowing that there were other people here, and she wasn't in this spooky, creepy, evil lab alone. Of course there were pokemon, but they all seemed too scared to do anything. 'I wonder what happened to them to make them so frightened.' She asked herself. Jacklyn decided to keep that question to herself, for fear of stirring up the absol. He had obviously been through it as well, but he seemed to be all right.

<Yeah! My memory is slowly coming back! I came from this hall here!> It said, motioning for Jacklyn to follow as it walked up it. |

Jacklyn was excited to hear that the absol's memory was returning. She noticed him motion for her to follow, so she entered the hallway as well. Questions were still popping into her head. The biggest one being: Where was the professor? There had to be some explanation as to why he wasn't there, or out of sight.
"Hey," She asked the absol, "Do you know if the person who ran the lab is still here?"

<No. She has left for good. She's retired no. Professor Kass has handed the Lab over to this... Proffessor. We all called them 'The Stranger' because noone knew there identity. But we slowly figured out it was Herald. The local authorities have a bounty on this Dangerous Pokemon Breeder!> The absol whispered walking along an eerie corridor.
The sound of clomping feet could be heard far away. More shiftry were on the look-out for intruders.
What happened to the other shiftry that spotted them? |

Post by Jacklyn / Joshua on Jun 2, 2006 4:59:35 GMT
A blank expression slipped onto Jacklyn's face. She had never exactly heard of anyone named Herald. She hadn't even heard about a dangerous breeder. Jacki hadn't heard anything! Although, it wasn't to her surprise. She didn't watch much television, much less any news. Jacklyn didn't enjoy reading newspapers either, so if anything big happened outside of her town the only way she'd find out is through gossip among her friends.
"Herald?" Jacklyn repeated the name to herself. "Hey, if he's in charge here than he's responsible for frightening all of you, right?"

<Yeah! He's torturing and experimenting now on all pokemon to turn us into shadow pokemon! Usually he succeeds but it's painful for the pokemon. Some shadow pokemon experiments go completely wrong!> The absol said shuddering. It stopped in front of a door. <Ok. We're here! Knock and say that you're a trainer. They should let us in!> (You can go to the other thread now. And you now have full power over your absol! I no longer do (unless you want me to keep filling you in with useless info  !) |
