DAY 49 - [Text]

[babel_hacker]

[Okay, no more distractions like playing that new game or taking care of his new Pokemon. He can finally sit down and type this up when he's not braindead.]

Quick question for the network.

Did anyone get any headaches during those earthquakes a while back? I want to know if it's just a few of us, or if there's an ominous connection and it's like foreshadowing something big?

[He didn't know about the Nightmare Castle connection, yet.]

Comments

[babel_hacker]

It's mostly the timing. I admit it's a stretch, so I could be totally off and it's normal headaches.

[Hell, making conspiracy theories and wild speculations are what he loves to do. Since he loves to do it, he's quite open to being proven wrong. A lot of the time, he wasn't really being serious...]

Between how my psychic Pokemon acted so worried and my crystal shard reacting during the quakes, the fact that my headaches pop up during it was on my mind.

And well, I lived in the most earthquake-prone country back home and I don't usually get headaches. I just want info to get this settled before I can say I'm right or I'm overthinking it.

[Atsuro's basically rambling and trying to get his thoughts in order again.]

[babel_hacker]

That matches up with my own Gardevoir and purple cat. The poor lil cat was slowly getting used to being with my team, but then that happened.

We have major disasters before like floods, but nothing like this. Although...the last time psychic Pokemon acted weird was back in May.

[What happened back in May again?]

[babel_hacker]

I think we can rule out gases since more people would get affected and even made the news.

Which leaves people who suffered headaches need to have something else in common, like being exposed to a material or event in the past.

[captainash]

Maybe we're all people who kept one of those crystal shards from May? Or maybe we all caught a particular species last month? There's so many possibilities...

[islandshore]

I did, and given the month, I get the feeling this is foreshadowing something. What that is is anyone's guess. I'm banking on a zombie invasion.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Your shard is reacting too?

[He threw it in a drawer when it started doing that in case it was going to explode or something. He didn't know it was happening to anyone else.]

[pinnedbangs]

Huh. If you start using pokemon moves again, then something is up for sure.

Unless Johto is like one big volcano and it's going through a period?

[artificialrose]

...That was those crystal towers, right?

[babel_hacker]

Right! I remember Cel (my Reuniclus) being all weirded out by it.

[artificialrose]

Do you think they'll come back? No one ever figured out what was wrong with those, did they?

[babel_hacker]

Quite possibly. I don't think I heard anything about whether or not either Kanto or Johto are near the edge (or in the middle) of a tectonic plate like Japan.

I guess there's those mountains up north and it's actually an inactive volcano moving again?

[babel_hacker]

I don't think so. If they do come back, I'm guessing they'll be bigger than before.

[babel_hacker]

Well, we already covered ghosts and soul snatching, so zombies might be a thing. I admit, something about zombie Pokemon seems just freaky and almost cool.

How about an ancient monster from the depth of the earth, whose presence our minds cannot perceived properly?

[babel_hacker]

That's right. I didn't know if it's the shard or it's just moving from the earthquake's force.

[He have his other Pokemon watched it, but nothing seemed to happened...]

[artificialrose]

That wouldn't be good... It seemed like it took a lot of work to destroy them as it was.

[islandshore]

What, like some kind of telepathic worm monster?

Yeah, I guess I could see it. And maybe it's a telepathic zombie worm.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Perhaps it's just the latter.

[Cobra doesn't really think so, but he also doesn't want to think about it being tied to this all somehow.]

[babel_hacker]

Probably. Guess we might find out for sure once it's almost the end of the month.

[The more he thinks about it, the more Atsuro really wants to believe they're connected.]

[babel_hacker]

Could be the crystal shards. It's easier to check on people that way than checking on who have which Pokemon species.

Plus, the psychics were reacting badly to those crystal towers as well. There's that common factor.

[babel_hacker]

Yeah. I remember it takes a lot to take them down. I kinda remember someone using explosives against them?

[artificialrose]

[Give him a minute, he's having flashbacks to a certain someone he knows doing her best to cause destruction. Oh good lord.]

That... seems about right.

I wonder if there was an alternative way to get rid of them that no one thought of and that might have been better?

[babel_hacker]

Ooh yeah, a telepathic zombie worm who can speak to our mind. Maybe add a bit of immense and horrifying influence to go with it, like inciting a type of emotion.

On a related note, I don't think I ever see a Bug/Psychic before. Or a Ghost/Psychic.

[babel_hacker]

[Oops. Sorry, man.]

If there is, would it be less destructive to its surroundings? I don't mind helping out, but it might be a lot of work if it pops up in a big city and we accidentally wreck the buildings.

[Unless there's no other way, then uh.]

[artificialrose]

I have no idea, I'm just trying to think outside the box. I mean, no one really knew what they were. For all we know, being so rough on those might have had the opposite effect of what we wanted and that's why our Pokemon are getting headaches.

Ah... I'm just throwing out theories, of course.

[captainash]

...You're right, they did. Or at least, my Girafarig did. It's a little hard to tell with my Metagross.
