FINALLY THE EVENT

[united-mods.livejournal.com]

WELCOME TO THE RELIC CASTLE

I shall be your guide and snarky narrator - replying to most comments with a bit of humour - acting as your Game Master for this adventure though this castle. The goal? To explore and find the Dark Stone. There are seven stories, and you will need to get to the bottom. Please note that if we don't wrap this up by Halloween, the Pokemonfication event will still be happening.

How this is gonna work? There's gonna be comments down there. When somebody solves the floor, then the next floor will go up. Simple? I sure hope so!

[Eridan frowned and shook his head slightly. This was either extremely simple, or enjoyed talking in riddles. Humans sure are weird.] So do you have any idea of what might be at the bottom of this place?

[emmet]

...Yup. I do. [SUDDEN seriousness.] It could be a legendary - it could be Zekrom. Do you know of the legends of this world? Are you from here?

[caligulatrainer.livejournal.com]

A legendary? [His attention is perked, looks like this might be worth it.] I know of none of the legends from here, inform me.

[emmet]

There are many legends - but there is only one important to this castle which involves the legendaries.
[Emmet closes his eyes, relaxing. Ah, it was like a memory. Because it was.]
A long time ago, there were two brothers. Twins. Together with a powerful dragon, they founded this lands.

However, the two of them battled over what they wished to achieve with Unova. The younger one wanted the land to prosper under ideals, and the older wanted the land to live under the harsh truth of reality. With their followers, they began to fight. It was scary!

And their dragon? It split in two - the younger one got the black dragon of ideals, Zekrom! The older brother got the white dragon of truth, Reshiram! But as they'd come from the same dragon, they were evenly matched, and no winner was found!

Eventually, the two brothers called a truce, seeing that a good world needed both truth and ideals.
But their children started the war again! So, the two twins were forced to level the land, and vanish along with their Pokemon - forever! Yup! [Emmet, if you'd vanished forever, you wouldn't be here. But, he then re-opens his eyes, with his serious smile.]
This was one of their castles, during the beginnings of Unova. And one of the dragons might be sleeping here - I think it's Zekrom.

...Hearing this, do you want to try and catch it too?

[caligulatrainer.livejournal.com]

[This whole Pokemon context just got better. If someone had told him about all these legendaries before he would have been so much more eager to start this.]

Of course! What person wouldn't want to try to catch a powerful Pokemon?

[emmet]

True, true! That is very true!
[...]
But I want it too. Because it is very strong. We will need to fight for it if it is here!
[And then derpy smile, and a hand out for a handshake.]
I am Emmet. I was a Subway Boss, in my Unova - a very strong trainer, in a very high place. What is your name?

[caligulatrainer.livejournal.com]

[He narrows his eyes as he looks down at his hand, not responding for a moment before finally returning the handshake.]
And I'm Eridan Ampora, a seadwelling troll from Alternia.
