Maker followed Eli's lead. "We are in a ballroom. Are you blind or something?" She did a twirl. "We appeared in the garden outside, just before being crushed by those walls. The nice butler, I name that one John, let us in. The fancy clothing were on us when we woke up. This man, who I have to admit is really handsome, says his name is Count Naves and he is the owner of this. He walks through walls and makes rooms and dinners appears out of nowhere." She sighed. "Honestly, I'm just going along with it, no point in making any questions. Anyways, you sure you okay?"
 
Maker smiled softly. "I'm glad you're better. Roy was getting annoyed having to carry around strangers." She looked over at the boogers. "What do you think about them? I heard something about Redton taking a hit for Kathern. Also, that Whiton guy keeps trying to be nice. It's like, hey I broke your fingers, wanna dance? It makes me mad." She turned back to Eli. "They also said they have split personalities and now they are good guys. Or something like that, even Michael talked to them nicely."
 
Michael and Jodi just quietly shook their heads in response to Adolph's actions. "I still don't understand why we don't ditch him! That side of his could come back anytime at any place!" Michael said with an irritated expression. Jodi quietly agreed, careful not to accidentally make the scientist mad again. They watched Azumi and Adolph from the doorway, questioning both of their decisions. (Adolph's to attack his Pokemon and Azumi's to stick with that psycho)
 
Gaeboo finally finished sorting his notebooks (although it REALLY does not look like it whatsoever) and excited the library. Upon seeing so much else going on, he preferred to head up to the medical bay for... some reason. He entered the room, and lightly placed a Poke Ball on the counter.

"Yes, I know this place is normally for humans, but this is more than just a beating on my pal here. Contracted something when I was in Alola's Lush Jungle, got no clue what it is apart from the fact that they can barely move and are constantly groaning in pain. Would appreciate if you could find out what's wrong with them."

He sat down again, looking at another notebook as he flipped through it slightly frantically. He was unsure how much longer this place would hold up, but knew that there wasn't much time left. Not many top of the line hospitals out there in this world.
 
Garchomp had been preparing to lift Blitz into the air when Adolphian got punched in the nose. Garchomp hovered for a moment, but touched back down to the ground upon seeing Adolphian acting more reasonably. He still stood near Blitz, just in case. Renz looked on quietly. He could understand hitting a Pokémon in self-defense, he had done that himself. But to attack one of your own Pokémon? Of course, Renz hadn’t seen the electric shock that Blitz had given to Adolphian and Vypscha, otherwise he might’ve been a BIT more understanding.
 
Kathren turned to Renz. "Maybe we should go, I really don't want to see that monster for a while," she said to Renz as she mentioned with her head towards the doctor, eyes still narrowed in anger. She stormed closer to the castle, Aurora and Candle following her after showing their displeasure as well, the Alolan Ninetails 'hummped' and stuck up her nose and the Lampent's fire rose.
 
"When I say crazy, I mean he lost it, went insane, something like that. Not 'oh! I'm going to pretend to hurt my Pokemon because they like it,' I never said that it was him playing, I sware, he was going to seriously hurt Blitz if no one stepped in. I wish I wasn't frozen in place," she corrected. She came up to a bench and sat down. "So," she started, trying to change the subject, "What happened while I was out here?"
 
Maker nodded in agreement. "Right. That's what I think also. They came at us with no mercy with the only intentions to make us suffer." The music stopped. "Hey what gives!" Maker complained as she looked around.
The Count appeared at the entrance. "Everyone, this rarely happens, but there is a storm building up above us. I suggest everyone gathers inside and away from the windows. It is for your safety." He bowed in an apologetic way. "I do apologise for this."
 
Jodi heard what the count had told them and supposed he was telling the truth. She looked at Michael and grabbed his sleeve. "We should probably listen to him, it's for the best." She said with worry in her tone. Michael nodded and the both of went back inside the ballroom.
"Ugh, just great." Michael said with a groan. "First, we come here to this mysterious ballroom that might just me a trap, and then a dangerous storm that might just kill some of us." He looked around for eavesdroppers and lowered his voice. "I hope it will be that jerk Gaeboo and that mad scientist." Jodi snickered and gently elbowed him.

Adolph sighed softly, and shook his head, putting a hand on his temple. "No... Kathrin, was it? You see... That wasn't me... Since we have tried to establish research into travelling into another universe, sadly... It seems like I have been possessed by another version of myself... A very violent and hazardous version that does things I would never do... They only come out when something bad happens to me... I hope you can forgive me... That goes for you, BlitzKriegler... I tried to hold my other side back... But they overpowered me..." He replied, seeming ashamed of his actions, and as Blitz hopped near him to show forgiveness, he pulled her into a hug, unfortunately realizing too late that her size ended pinning him down, which he reacted to with a chuckle. "As for you... Azumi, correct? I apologize, as what you have just heard is the truth... However, I have been regaining some sense of control, if I wasn't, then my other side would have broken out into a sheer genocidal rage in attempts to hurt everyone around him... As for Benjamin... You see... Since the other version of me entered my mind... Well... I have forgotten a lot of things, so I could not tell you if that is true or not... I have no memory of this person..." He replies sadly, his glowing blue eyes telling the truth, as he hugs BlitzKriegler, tearing up as he buries his face in her coat, his sobs muffled thankfully. The Luxray rolls her eyes and lets this happen, giggling quietly, only seeing this side of him once before.
 
Azumi sighed in disappointment as she heard the doctor's words. She heard the count announcing the clouds above them, she looked up and they were clearly getting bigger and quickly. She helped the doctor up. "Come on, we need to go to the ballroom." She looked at the Luxray. "Help me make sure he gets there, okay?"

Maker sighed annoyed. "Now what? It's going to rain fire? I thought this place was safe!" She called out the last part.
Count Naves looked at Maker. "Well whoever is after you, clearly has found this place. But I will protect you with my life, I promise."
Maker smiled and whispered to Eli. "Sometimes you wonder why some guys are single. I wonder what his flaw is."

As the count announced the clouds. Adolph looked confused, and looked up from his spot near Blitz, sighing softly. Blitz stayed put, them both being extremely stubborn, but as Adolph is helped up he tilts his head quizzically. "Hmm? So what if there is a storm, Blitz's affinity with lightning protects me from being stricken by lightning. We are not afraid, and I could use some rain, to be honest. Haven't had a shower since I got trapped here." He replies, his Luxray calling out in agreement. "Yes, we could use some rain, and if I am struck by lightning, it will hit me, not him, and I will simply discharge the electricity later."
 
Azumi gave them an upset look. "If we were in our real world, that would make sense. But, nothing here does, therefore I don't suggest you take your chances. Things have been plenty difficult already with you..." She pointed at Adolph. "Going crazy, we cannot risk things. Just please get in the ballroom."

Maker picked up Razor. "Oh you're so adorable!" She hugged him tightly. "I think you should meet my Eve." She set down Razor and sent out her Flareon. Eve stretched her body and began rubbing on Maker's legs. "Hey Eve, look, a Leafeon!"
Eve looked at Razor, then turned away. She made her way to the dinner.
Maker laughed. "Someone is cranky."

The Count left the balcony and directed himself to everyone inside, from the second floor. "Listen, these storms are always unpredictable. Stay close. I have built this place to take on tornados. But... Well nothing here is like the outside world."
 
Renz made his way inside, glad he had made it before it began to rain. Of course, he could tell it was not a standard storm, but all storms made him think rain. Or possibly snow. He held the door open for Kathren, and anyone else who was heading towards the house. Looking around, he only saw Eli, Maker, Count Naves, Jodi, and Michael already inside, + the bevy of boogers. That meant that Azumi, Kathren, and Adolphian and his girlfriend were still outside. Hopefully they would make it in in time.
 
"Thanks, Renz," Kathren said with a smile and nod as she reentered the ballroom. The took a few steps then told him without looking, "If the storm starts, then come inside without them. I don't want you to get hurt just because some people are too stupid to come inside." She then looked for a chair to sit down in as she brushed Aurora.
 
“Alright.”

Renz didn’t see the others coming just yet, so he let the door shut and followed Kathren to the ballroom. He made sure he had all his Pokémon on him, just in case. He sat down on the floor, in a corner, and began to watch quietly, waiting for the storm to begin.

Previously The failure
Adolph groaned in pain as he agreed to come with Azumi into the ballroom, before becoming worried about Vypyskha, who was in the gardens. Him and BlitzKriegler looked around for her, but as it turned out, she turned up soundlessly behind the group, and pulling out her small plasma stun rifle, charged it loudly and discharged it into the clouds, waiting for a reaction. Adolph and BlitzKriegler both jumped, and Adolph pounced on her, giving her a soft hug, obviously worried. "Don't you do that again! I was worried!" He replied, but as he tried to pull away, Vypyshka returned the hug, this time not letting go, until Blitz charged an electro ball and making her let go. "Adolph, I was merely trying to explore the gardens. Now, listen to the girl who seems to care for you and get inside. I don't want to see you die." She replies, as the two walk inside the building, guarded by BlitzKriegler.
 
Gaeboo sat in thought while he waited for his Pokemon's diagnosis, still concerned about their fate. To be honest, this was the Pokemon he had always been the most concerned about training. His name was Bethelgeus, Bethe for short, and was the most recent addition to his team. Only a few months ago is when he picked up Bethe, around when his trek through Unova came to a close. Gaeboo knew that they'd take a while to train, being the most difficult Pokemon to evolve, but he hoped that nothing would happen to them, as they were still very young. When in Alola, Bethe had an unfortunate encounter with some unknown force. Ever since, they can't be out of their ball without groaning and even screaming in pain and suffering. Of course Gaeboo thought it was his fault for what happened, he didn't keep a close eye on them. He just didn't think it would be like this, having to live with the fact that what were essentially his family were suffering constantly. And there was nothing he could do to help them except cry with them to the end.
 
Azumi made sure everyone was inside and then closed the doors. She walked to the center of the ballroom and called out to everyone. "Everyone! I need you to gather around, I have some important information to share with you. It won't be long!"

Maker walked over to the center with her Flareon by her side. "Did you find us some sporty outfits? Ice cream? Michael's older version from another dimension?" She asked playful as she approached her sister.

The boogers followed and gather around. Bluton stretched, feeling lazy. "Do we get to go home now?"
 
Michael and Jodi looked at Azumi as she called out to the entire group. They walked towards her, curious of what she has to say. Hearing Maker's speculations, Michael gave her a death glare. "If that were to happen, I would advise me to stay away from you." He diverted his attention back to Azumi.
"So what is it?" Jodi asked the Towers sister. "Does it regard the upcoming storm? Or us getting back home?"
 
Kathren didn't walk over like the rest due to a Ninetails who was sitting on her feet. She did lift her head, however. Hearing Maker's last suspicion, Kathren raised an eyebrow in confusion, and when Michal resorted back to her... Well, let's just say Kathren was baffled. She continued to brush Aurora, listening to everyone.
 
"Well..." Azumi began. "I spoke to the Count and found out some information I think you should all know. First of all, there is an explanation as to where we are and why all this weird things keep happening." She paused to take a breath, thinking of the best ways to explain things. "This is a virtual world. It means it's a place with a fake reality. It was created by the count and Dr. Adolph some years ago." She looked over at the doctor, she wasn't sure how the rest would react to it since he hadn't left a good impression lately. "Unfortunately, the doctor doesn't remember this event or the count."

"Well that IS very unfortunate." The count said as he approached the group from behind Michael and Jodi. "I was hoping if we were to work together we could get us ALL out. But, I see your insanity has even affected your memories, Adolph." He starred at the doctor.

Azumi cleared her throat, to get the attention back to her. "Yes well, we still don't know who sent us here or why. According to the information, the only two with access to this place were the creators, Dr. Adolph and Count Naves." She looked at Jodi. "Regarding the storm, I have no idea what is going to happen." She directed herself to the rest of the group. "We must be careful and care for each other. That goes for ALL OF US." She looked at the boogers in that last part. "Working together might be the only way out."

The Count smiled. "Yes, that is true. Ms. Towers forgot to mention, that since I am one of the creators, I was the one to save you all from the walls and I created the place were you stand now. I don't say this to brag, I say it to demonstrate what I can do in case you need some accommodation, please feel free to request it."

Maker gave Adolph a mean look. "Great. So we are stuck here unless this psycho remembers his stuff? The guy who bails on us constantly and goes on mad scientist rampages? Really?"

Whiton laughed at Maker's comment. "Well at least you have us."

Adolph gave a sly grin, which quickly turned to a frown as his trio joined the group, his Luxray looking at the count with a combination of suspicion and remembrance, and before Adolph could speak and give his two cents, so to speak, she spoke for him, sighing softly before beginning to speak. "Well, count, I believe I remember you, since I have been with Professor Adolph since the beginning, much like Evilane, and because of that, we two know much of what he has gone through... Although I do not know much of the effects of the surgery he has gone through, I believe that is something Evilane can explain. Adolph, do your thing." She spoke softly, but just loud enough for the others to hear, Adolph looking upset as his Luxray tried to control him, but before he could object, Vypyskha put a hand on his shoulder as if to calm him. "Now now, Adolph. Just listen to her." She spoke soothingly to attempt to get him to listen, which he did not object, but simply chose to listen to the two trying to command him.

He sent out Evilane, who's cybernetic eye pulsed between green and yellow, and quickly began speaking about Adolph. "Well, you see... It started approximately a year ago, when NovaCorp started studying wormholes and interdimensional travel. Adolph was the first test subject, and while it was mostly unsuccessful, something did come out of the portal to another dimension, that rejected Adolph... It was estimated to be another version of him, or at least their essence of being. They possessed his mind, causing him to forget most things prior to that point, and gave him a sort of... Insanity that was only activated when something bad was happening to him. At first, he had no control over it, and was subject to it's insane whims. However, as time went on, he has gained more control, and is less... Genocidal, so to speak. But what is even worse on memory is several years ago, a micro-chipset was introduced to his brain, to allow his mental functions to improve, and unfortunately, he had to give up a few parts of his personality, and most of his memory. One could say that he was forced to do a factory reset, leaving only very important parts of his memory intact, when the cybernetic chip was introduced." She finished, her voice sounding less robotic than usual, and more natural, much like Blitz' translated voice. However, hers was more singsong, intellectual, and having small hints of the forest.
 
While flipping through his notebook (well, one of them), Gaeboo heard a loud scream from the operating room, a scream he knew all too well. His entire body cramped up as he heard the high-pitched screams of Bethelgeus. He dropped his notebook and grabbed his wrist tightly as his other hand's fingers twitched rapidly. He thought to himself in pure worry.

"Am I too late? He's been like this for a month, and no matter where I went, the doctors couldn't help him... he's just been like this... and I can't DO anything! I have to watch and listen to suffer to their pain... possibly forever..."

He tried to hold back the tears as he listened to his poor Pokemon's shrieks of pain. Without Bethelgeus, not only would his team be in shambles, but so would Gaeboo.
 
Maker was listening to the others. Her Flareon's ears perked up. Maker looked down at her. "What's up Eve?"
Eve looked around and then took off running. Maker ran after her. "Hey hold on! I run slower in heels!" She called out to her Pokemon. She followed Eve up to the medical room. Eve ran inside and began sniffing around. Maker walked in, take a deep a breath. She was going to scold Eve when she noticed Gaeboo. "Hey G-man! What's wrong? And is that a Pokemon crying that I'm hearing?" She looked around, just like Eve.
 
"Oh... hey Maker... that crying is... that's Bethelgeus, my Deino. Not long ago, something happened to him and... he can't move and is in constant pain. I wanted to see if the doctors here could do anything, but... it doesn't sound like it, as per usual. I love the little guy, even if he's the youngest, but that's what upsets me the most... that he could die before reaching his full potential. I can barely stand how much he's going through right now and... I can honestly say for the first time in a long while... I'm terrified..."

His body stiffened, and as the next series of screams were let out, Gaeboo let his tears stream down his face. He may have been a complete jerk before, but you have to admit... no one deserves this kind of treatment.

"All I can do is wait and hope that he'll get better before he... goes away. No one I've gone to knows what's wrong with him... that's the worst part about this..."
 
Maker's eyes got watery as she heard Gaeboo talk and the Denio's screams. She sat next to Gaeboo. "Well that's because you hadn't met me before. Don't worry, we will get out of this virtual reality and we will find the world's greatest doctors to take care of him." She placed her hand on his shoulder. "Meanwhile you gotta be strong ok? He needs you to care for him." Maker sniffed. "Plus if you cry I'm going to cry and two crying trainers can't do much." She smiled. "You got this G-man."
 
"That's what I hate most about this. I can't care for him. Even when he's inside his ball, he's constantly in tremendous pain... I have to watch him suffer like this and... I can't take it. Most people grow sad just from their Pokemon getting injured, but this... almost no one understands this kind of pain, knowing no matter what you do, your only close ones are dying and all you can do is cry for them..."

Yeah no he was full on crying as he folded his body in half. Seems that his cool composure has finally been cracked. Well, not counting anger, that's basically his default emotion.
