[center][h2]Somewhere in Frosthelm Town...[/h2][/center] [center]"[color=F08080]Wa-wa-wait, Boss!... Are you sure about this?!... This doesn't seem like an Ultra Wormhole!...[/color]", the Porygon-Z exclaimed as a group of Pokemon are staring at what appears to be a rift, smack-dab in the middle of town. Everyone seems to wonder what it is, and even the local children of Frosthelm are trying to get a closer look out of curiosity. For all they know, it could be another one of those wormhole that those Ultra Beasts travel with. There has been several documented cases of it, but none of them has ever occured in Steel Continent. "[color=F08080]I-i-it could be dangerous!... We shouldn't be out here trying to mess with it!...[/color][/center] [center]It seems this Porygon-Z is panicking out of their mind as two Pokemon decided to step closer to the portal. One of them is a Lycanroc, and another an icy blue Ninetales. The Lycanroc turns back to the Porygon-Z, trying to reassure it."[color=F5DEB3]Relax, Pez. I have a feeling this is gonna take us somewhere interesting... And besides, it's not like Palkia's gonna punish us for it, right?...[/color]" The Lycanroc turns to the Ninetales, who nodded at their statement "[color=B0E0E6]What's the worst that can happen?... Anyways, if nothing's coming out of it... I assume it takes us somewhere... And I want to figure out where exactly it goes...[/color]"[/center] [center]"[color=F08080]What about the Guild?!... If both of you aren't here, we're all digging our graves[/color]-" The Porygon-Z's panic was interrupted by the Lycanroc "[color=F5DEB3]We have Hanabi, we have you, and Agent... I'm sure you guys can take care of yourselves... Come on Hel... Let's get to the bottom of this...[/color]"[/center] [center]The Lycanroc steps into the rift, followed by the Ninetales as it closes behind both of them. And thus, Fenrir and Hel's tales in the omniverse begins...[/center] [hider=Fenrir][center][img]https://www.pokexperto.net/switch/snap/img/foto078.jpg[/img] [hr]Condition : [color=7CFC00]Fine[/color] Location : [color=A9A9A9]???[/color] Status : [color=F5DEB3]Where... Am I?...[/color][/center][hr] [center]Fenrir groggily opens his eyes, lying down in what appears to be an alleyway. He takes his moment to scan his surroundings. Numerous tall buildings surround the area, rising all the way up to the skies. Foul-smelling trash cans just a few feet away from him, several smaller critters scampering to and from it. Hey... They almost look like Rattatas... Maybe this is an alternate world?... He'll have to take a look around. Getting back up on his feet, Fenrir looks around for Hel... Crap. Looks like they got separated somewhere along the rift... He'll have to find her later...[/center] [center]The narrow corridor opens up to a wider one, with plenty more tall buildings which are surprisingly evenly spaced out. Metal poles and trees placed interchangeably on the path he's walking on, coupled with the occasional giant metal box rolling down the road humming as they drive past... This world feels so alien to him. He'll have to explore further... Hey... What's this nifty-looking thing on his wrist?... Doesn't look like one of those Emera Looplets they had back in Water Continent... If only he knows what it does. He decided not to tamper with it much for now. Maybe someone in this place knows what it is?...[/center] [center]Several minutes of walking later, it becomes clear that Fenrir is walking straight into a war zone. The buildings are clearly in worse shape, and some of the metal boxes are now upturned. From the raging fires nearby, Fenrir deduced that it's probably a Fire Type having a rampage through town. A wall of said boxes gathered Fenrir's attention, and as he leapt through them, he finds what appears to be a camp...[/center] [center]There seems to be other forms of life here... One bipedal creature, built like a Machop, is firmly grasping another one's arm... Numerous other similar creatures are laid down on improvised tents, each suffering a varying degree of injury from light to severe. Must be the victims of whatever (or whoever) decided to wreak havoc in a place like this. Fenrir observes the group as they interact with one another, and yet... One of them sticks out like a sore thumb... And he's still as garishly purple as he remembers him several years ago... "[color=F5DEB3]... Eric?...[/color]"[/center] [quote][center]Obligatory mentions : [@Thatguyinastore] [@ProfSpacecakes] [@RirisStride1] [@ClownTown] [@Attesa] [@Yamperzzz] (I hope I mentioned everyone)[/center][/quote][/hider] [hider=Hel][center][img]https://i0.wp.com/sixprizes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/alolan-ninetales-burning-shadows-bus-28.jpg?fit=552%2C366&ssl=1[/img] [hr]Condition : [color=7CFC00]Fine[/color] Location : [color=A9A9A9]???[/color] Status : [color=B0E0E6]This... Was a mistake...[/color][/center][hr] [center]Fortunately for Hel, she seems to wake up in a more hospitable place than Fenrir, which is right in the middle of a park, on top of a bench... She instinctively looked around... No Fenrir, no Pez either... A frown begins to form on her muzzle. She shouldn't have been too hasty, they could've left the portal be... But nooo, she had to make that decision and now they're both in... Somewhere... Well, no time to beat herself up over it. Now she has to find her partner and most importantly, a way back home...[/center] [center]This is when she noticed the contraption on her wrist. Hel tried to deduce how it works, but it seems this wasn't built with her physiology in mind... Oh well, she'll know what it is and what it does eventually... Looking up to the skies, Hel notices that several lightning bolts are surrounding a certain tower... Maybe she'll find a clue as to how to get back that way "[color=B0E0E6]Yeah... Follow the trouble Hel, why not?...[/color]", she grumbled, before making her way closer and closer to the center of it. Maybe she'll bump into someone along the way...[/center] [center]And what are the odds. Hel spots some figures on the rooftops far above. Maybe they're the ones who are behind those lightning bolts she saw earlier... From the shapes she could make out, one of them has a comically large sword, one of them's got long silver hair, and the other... Doesn't stand out much... She'll have to get up there to figure stuff out, but how?... Now would be a good time to have Fenrir's grappling hook...[/center] [center]That is, until an idea came to her. What if she just... Uses the ice on her paws to stick to the side of the building?... Yeah... One ridiculous decision after another won't hurt, right?... She began scaling the side of the tower. One close call after another, she is simply that close to falling to (potentially) her demise. But eventually, she made it to the top to greet those strangers...[/center] [center]A pair of icy blue paws emerge on the side of the building, revealing the Ninetales to the group on the rooftop[/center] [quote][center]Obligatory mentions : [@Thatguyinastore] [@Mav] [@ratKing] [/center][/quote][/hider]
