Sandgem - Major Recovery

[Ninetalesuk]

(FLASH!!!)

@imperial@@stingmon@

"Uh..." He looked around, confused. Arceus glowing was the last thing he saw before he found himself in a forest near a small town... they could see Mt. Coronet... "Where..."

@lucas@

"Professor! We're back in Sandgem!" He cried.

@rowan@

"Good..." He grunted, turning to Ken. "Is this your Digimon?"

@ken@

"Part of him, yes..."

@rowan@

"Have him to unload us..." He said, pointing to a building. "We need to treat the injured at once..."

@ken@

He nodded. "Imperialdramon..."

@imperial@@stingmon@

"Right, Ken!"

The beam of light shone on the field outside Prof. Rowan's lab...

@rowan@

He took his keys out and sighed. "I'm going to have a long walk to get my car back... it's still outside Mt. Coronet..."

@blaine@

"That's a bother for you..."

@arcanine@

He barked in agreement...

@yolei@

"Halsemon, why don't you de-Digivolve?" She asked. "It's all over for now..."

@halsemon@

"Just to protect myself..."

@yolei@

"From who?"

@halsemon@

"You..."

@yolei@

She blinked. "What?"

@halsemon@

"Nothing!"

@jagerlowemon@

He chuckled as Digi-Code surrounded him...

@koichi@

...and became human again. He looked at his D-Tector as both Human and Beast Spirits of Darkness appeared. That was one huge battle... but it's over for now...

(Short collab with AnT)

@gallantmon@@guilmon@

"Takatomon, shall we de-Digivolve now?"


@gallantmon@@takato@

"Why are you asking me for that?" he asked, letting himself start the de-transformation.

When Gallantmon's body glowed, it split into two smaller beings; Takato and Guilmon.

@marcus@

He did a double-take when he looked at Gallantmon, splitting into two beings. "WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!!?"

@guilmon@

"I came from a Digiegg while Takatomon came from a mummy and daddy."

@takato@

Groaning, Takato smacked him head. Who told him that? But then again, Takato still has no idea how babies are born from the mothers.

@marcusagumon@

"Seeing Koichi and Kouki turning into a Digimon with their Digivices is one thing... but, did you two actually became a Digimon as one?!"

@yolei@

"Oh yeah... now I get what you meant, Halsemon... Henry mentioned this when we were in Hoenn!"

@takato@

"Eh?!?" he did a double take, snapping his surprised glance at Yolei.

@halsemon@

He chuckled at Takato's expression. "Judging from your expression, I take it you know Henry and a loud mouth Digimon called Terriermon?"

@rowan@

He opened the door to his lab, turning to everyone else. "All Pokemon trainers, please follow me... I'll set up the recovery system for the Pokemon who fought hard today..."

@lucas@

"Thank you, Professor..." He said, walking in...

@turtwig@@glaceon@

They both followed their trainers...

@blaine@@arcanine@@anabel@@latios@

They went in as well...

@rowan@

"And you need one too, Empoleon..."

@empoleon@

He nodded with a sigh...

@gaomon@

"Sir, when shall you start on fixing Missingno's virus?"

@thomas@

"Soon, Gaomon... Soon..." He walked over to the Pidgeot where Jenny is, looking concerned. "Jenny, are you all right?"

[Salem]

@mew@
"<Whoa... that was weird. Celebii! Celebi, where are you! its time for our date!>"

@gomamon@
"Date?"

@joe@
"Lets just get inside..."

@lily7@
"Hey, does anyone here have a change of clothes, please?" She gagged, tugging the Galactic uniform she was forced to wear.

@minervamon@
"Uh, what just happened?" Minervamon blinked, looking around in confusion.

[YolkaEd]

@cynthia@

"Thanks..." Cynthia muttered, as she walked inside. "My Pokémon definitely need some rest, now..."

@tai@

"Well, time to de-Digivolve, MetalGreymon!" Tai said, as he looked up at his partner.

@metalgreymon@

Nodding, a glow enveloped him...

@taiagumon@

...as he reverted to his Rookie-form. When he did, he almost immediately sat down. "Phew... I'm beat..." And at that point, his stomach growled. "And hungry..."

@tai@

"I'm not surprised... you were SkullGreymon for quite a while." Tai said, as he helped Agumon on his feet... when his stomach growled as well. "...guess I'm a bit hungry, too." he said sheepishly.

[Candescence]

"I know being able to rest now would be pretty neat, but aren't we forgetting something?" Kouki asked.


"Forget wha-OH POOPY." Ikuto realised that he had forgotten about... "That island! We gotta get there and free all the Pokemon there!"


"This guy is a Mega, right? He'll practically steamroll a bunch of Ultimates!" Falcomon asked, reffering to Imperialdramon. "We'll be there and back in no time flat!"

[AnT]

@kari@ "But guys, we been through a really rough battle." she reminded to Keenan, showing Gatomon in her arms.

@gatomon@ "Yeah...this place don't have their own Digimon healer thing like for Pokemon." she groaned, looking rather tired.

@red@ Stomping inside, Red was ticked than tired. Not really because of that story Arceus told them, but because of what he almost did when fighting Alamaster. Evolving Charizard to a dangerous Pokemon, and nearly hurting his friends. How could he trust himself with the D-Sphere? It only worked best for Chikorita, because, not only there was extra energy in that poke-ball, but Chikorita was still a new Pokemon, thus not bonded well with him.

[Ninetalesuk]

@koichi@

"She is right..." He said. "We've also hadn't got much sleep since arriving here from Kanto yesterday morning..."

@marcus@

"Remember what I said back at that mountain, Keenan?!" He said. "Some of us would stay here to rest up!"

@marcusagumon@

"I certainly do..." He groaned.

@halsemon@

"Ugh..." He glowed...

@hawkmon@

...and reverted to Rookie. "So do I, to be honest..."

@guilmon@

"Takatomon, I'm sleepy..." He said, leaning on his partner...

@yolei@

"Look, kid... just give us time to settle in, then we can decide what to do next..."

@ken@

"Of course... Imperialdramon, can you wait a bit more longer like that?"

@imperial@

"Yes! 3-4 hours, me thinks!"

@green@

"That's good..."

@ninetales@

"Nine!"

@thomas@

"Jenny?" He asked, looking concerned. "Are you okay?"

@gaomon@

"Ma'am?"

Inside...

@rowan@

He had a special room where there were plenty of Pokemon Healing Machines in case of emergencies... and this is one of them...

As of right now, he was busy placing four Poke-balls on the Pokemon Healing Device...

Which were...

@pidgeot@@magmortar@@lucario@@blastoise@

...Lucas' Pokemon...

@rowan@

"I'm starting off with you, Lucas... it seems that your Pokemon suffered the most damage..." He said, activating it.

@lucas@

"Cyrus... just targeted me first..." He said slowly. "Blastoise and Pidgeot got the most damage..."

@rowan@

"Hmm..." He frowned, reading the stats. "Magmortar will be fine tomorrow morning... Lucario needs a couple of days... Pidgeot and Blastoise... well, give them a week..."

@lucas@

He flinched. "Yes, Professor..."

@turtwig@@glaceon@

They looked at each other in concern...

@blaine@

He placed the Poke-balls of Arcanine, Houndoom and Magmar on a device...

@anabel@

...and her doing the same...

@blaine@

He looked at Red. "I'll bed you're wondering why I'm here since you've forgotten..."

[YolkaEd]

@lalamon@

"To be honest, I'm not that sleepy..." Lalamon said, as she looked at the group. "I just need some rest, and I can help out!"

@yoshi@

"Maybe it wouldn't be smart to overexert ourselves, Lalamon..." Yoshi said.

@tai@

"Even though I'd like to bring MetalSeadramon down a few pegs, we've really got to rest up after that fight..."

@taiagumon@

"Yeah..." Agumon nodded; even if they could go right up to Mega in this world, he was too tired (and hungry) to be able to fight properly without resting up.

@deoxys@

Deoxys, in the meantime, had taken a seat by some trees a bit away from the lab, watching the group interact among themselves. ...Red...

---

@cynthia@

Cynthia, too, placed her Poké Balls on a device, before glancing at Red. ...former champion of Kanto... heh. If I hadn't fought against him myself, I'd probably have doubted it.

[Salem]

@minervamon@
"Yawn, I am getting sleepy!" Like a tree, Minervamon tumbled backwards with a liud thud, and snoored.

@joe@
"... Thankfully she is in her short form." He looked beside himself and cringed.

@lily7@
At the sight of the young girl taken off her clothes.

@joe@
"What are you doing?!"

@lily7@
"I said I need new clothes. Do you think I want another moment in that irritating unform?"

@gomamon@
"Uh..." Gomamon couldn't see what was the big deal about humans and their clothing, though Joe covered his eyes,

@joe@
"Can't you do that somewhere private!?"

[Candescence]

As much as Ikuto hated to admit it, they had to rest a while before they could do anything. "I understand. Let's rest up a bit first before we go anywhere else..."


"Booooorrrrrriiinnngggg."


"Oh, shut up."

[Salem]

@@
Meanwhile, on a tree, a dark creature loamed, its eyes shinned for a second as it scanned the crowed. With a snarl, the shadow leaped from the bushes.

[AnT]

@guilmon@ "Takatomon, shall we-" He then, sniffed the air and then... his innocent eyes changed... into more reptile as he growled. "Rrrrrrr..."

@hawkmon@ "Uh...?"

@takato@ "Uh oh...no no no..." he groaned, rubbing his temples. "Can't the Digimon wait until we at least sit for a minute?"

@ken@ "What's wrong?"

@davis@ "Duuuuude!!" he shouted from above, since he was on Imperialdramon, waiting for the others. "What's up?!"

@koichi@ "Ugh!" He fell to his knees, shaking as he felt a familiar darkness. "Oh no.... no... no... it's.... impossible..."

@kari@ "Koichi?! What's-AAAAGH!!!" Kari too fell to her knees, clenching her head.

@takato@ "Uh...Ms Ka---wait..." if he remembered in the show, Kari can sense darkness. This can only mean that some powerful Digimon is approaching. "Oh no..."

@davis@ "KARI!!!" without minding the sheer height, Davis leapt off Imperialdramon, falling straight down. But quickly, the massive dragon caught him in his aura and gently set him down. Davis blasted over to Kari the moment he touched the ground. "Kari!! Are you okay?!"

@koichi@ He slowly got up, his face full of fear. "Not now... not after everything we've been through... no..."

@takato@ "..." At least they have Imperialdramon...unless this Digimon is anything like Daemon, then they're screwed. "Guilmon, where is he?"

@guilmon@ He turned his attention in the direction of where the Digimon is heading from. "Rrrrrr...."

@koichi@ He clenched his D-Tector tightly, he could feel his pure Spirits reacting to the darkness as well... "I never thought... I would face my own demons like this..."

@ken@ "What do you mean...? Do you know who is coming?"

@koichi@ "Yes... and I know why he's heading here...." He gulped slightly. "He's coming after me..."

@ken@ He clenched his fists before glancing at Imperialdramon. "Get ready..."

[Candescence]

"Huh? He's your shadow, kid?" Kouki asked Koichi. "Seriously, we haven't even finished the Shadow Junior fight yet!"


"Wrong thread, dumbass." Ikuto's eyes narrowed, as he looked around, trying to spot the interloper. "Get ready, guys... And to think we were going to REST. Why can't evil just take a vacation for once?!"


"If only..."

Music for the impending battle. Hey, the song title is meaningful!

[YolkaEd]

@tai@

"Kari!" Quickly, Tai got to his sister, checking if she was alright as well.

@yoshi@

"Just what we needed... right after we took care of Team Galactic, and everything..."

@taiagumon@@lalamon@

Both of them looked around them, ready for a fight, in spite of Agumon being exhausted from fighting already.

@deoxys@

...who is that? Deoxys thought, as he could feel the dark presence fairly well. Standing up, he looked around him, prepared to fight. ...come out and fight...

[Salem]

@sneasel@
"Sneasel!"
Leaping out of the trees, a small dark figure crouch on the ground, its eyes were closed and it spreaded its bladed claws to the ground.



"Uh... that's the darkness?"


"That's Sneasel... A dark/ice type... and a pokemon."


"Wait," Turning to the others, "I thought you guys said it was a digimoin."

@sneasel@
As the pokemon stood, one almost might think it was a shadow pokemon, by the dark presense it gave. Or could it just be the natural dark type?

[Ninetalesuk]

"So, you were worried about that?"



Looking at Sneasel, he shook a little. "I-I-I-I-"



"Hey, don't worry about it, you two!" He said, smiling at Koichi and Kari. "We've been fighting all night long! Maybe you guys are so exhausted!"



"That's right!" She said, holding Koichi. "You guys just need sleep! Davis, help Kari inside... let's see if we can find them a space for 'em to sleep!"



He stared at Sneasel as Yolei helped into the house. Why...? Why did I...? Why...? Am I reacting because he's part Dark? That's... not possible... is it?



He crossed his arms. "I guess they're reacting to Dark Pokemon?"



"No..." He muttered. Blaine's Houndoom, Cynthia's Spiritomb and that young girl's dark furred Pokemon... they were Dark-types. Gallantmon even brought Cyrus' Houndour and Magnemite... one of them Dark-types... with both neither Kari and Koichi reacting badly to that...



And he was still growling at the Sneasel...



Maybe... just maybe... He frowned.


@lucas@

He sighed. "Excuse me, Professor... I'll be heading upstairs..."

@rowan@

"OK..." He muttered. "Oh, yes... Lucas... before I left to Mt. Coronet, a Net Ball arrived... one of yours, I think... Totodile?"

@lucas@

He smiled slightly. "Oh yeah... I guess we can say hello to him again... right, you two?"

@turtwig@@glaceon@

They both nodded.

@lucas@

"Thanks, Professor..." And headed upstairs with his two Pokemon...

@rowan@

He glanced to one side at Prof. Oak, and smiled slighty. "Samuel... your arrival at the Distortion World with the International Police amazed me... I didn't expect you to be in Sinnoh this quickly..."

[Candescence]

"This may or may not be anticlimactic. At this rate, though, WHAT A TWIST!" Kouki joked.


"... Yeah, I think some of us really do need the rest. We're getting too damn paranoid."


"I think the paranoia is the least of our problems..."

[Ninetalesuk]

@yolei@

"There you go..." She said, helping Koichi sit down in a chair in the lab. "Just relax..."

@koichi@

He nodded. "Thank you..."

@hawkmon@

"Whatever caused you and Kari to get upset about darkness must have happened far away." He said. "And considering you two don't get overly upset on Dark-type Pokemon, then it mean a Digimon is far away... nevertheless, it must be strong for the two of you to sense it..."

@koichi@

"You don't know the half of it..." He muttered, looking at his D-Tector. He was thankful that he had found his Beast Spirit during the battle in the Distortion World... If he could unlock Fusion Evolution that worked for Takuya and Koji, then maybe he can stand a chance... that is if he had the...

@yolei@

"Hawkmon, keep an eye on him for now..." She said, walking outside. "I'm gonna get Davis to hurry up..."

@hawkmon@

He groaned and plugged his finger feathers into his ears. "Oh no..."

@koichi@

He blinked. "What's wro-"

@yolei@

"Daaaaaaaa....VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!" She yelled at the door. "HURRY UP AND GET KARI IN HERE!!! RIGHT NOW!!!"

@imperial@@stingmon@

"Ouch... my dragon ears..."

@hawkmon@

Groaning on the floor, he picked his head up. "If that darkness didn't hear Yolei, then nothing will..."

@koichi@

He chuckled slightly...

@lucas@

Coming up the stairs with his two Pokemon, he noticed the Net Ball on the table... Is that...?

He walked over and picked it up to look inside to see...

@totodile@

...a smiling blue crocodile, dancing about. "Dile! Dile!"

@lucas@

He smiled. "Hey, Totodile... it's been a while... sorry to worry you..."

@totodile@

"Dile! Dile!"

@lucas@

Considering it'll be a while until his Blastoise will recover with Pidgeot, he might as well take Totodile along and raise him...

He opened the Poke-ball near Turtwig and Glaceon... "Let's see our newest member, you guys..."

@totodile@

And jumping out of the white beam, he started to dance again. "Totototototo!"

@turtwig@

"Twig! Twig!" He tried to join in the dance...

@glaceon@

...while she didn't look too impressed, but smiled anyway. "Gla..."

@lucas@

He attached Totodile's Poke-ball to his belt. According to Prof. Rowan, Magmortar will be the first of the four injured Pokemon to recover by tomorrow morning. He can bring him along...

That would make his party four... and despite Glaceon's attitude, she can worry about Leafeon and Eevee... because she's much stronger than Leafeon, so...

Maybe I can capture a couple of wild Pokemon to raise... He wondered. Just to keep me happy or something... to keep me... I dunno... maybe I can capture and train a Starly...

Starly...

He noticed a strange device holding three Poke-balls...

@chimchar@@piplup@@turtwig@

...each holding the Sinnoh starter... who were asleep...

@lucas@

It feels like it's been ages since Barry and I chose Chimchar and Turtwig as our starters.... I never thought our adventures would end up like this... He sighed, taking off his hat and looking at it. Maybe I should change back to my old clothes... Yeah... I can muster up the strength to go back home and see my mum... and come back here later on to pick up Magmortar and decide what to do next...

@glaceon@

"Gla! Gla!" She poked her trainer in the knee. "Gla!"

@lucas@

"Huh?" He blinked.

@turtwig@@totodile@

They were busy dancing...

@lucas@

He smiled slightly. "Glaceon, I'm going back down to see Prof. Rowan... you can either keep an eye on these two or go and see Leafeon..."

@glaceon@

She went silent for a moment...

@lucas@

...but he didn't noticed as he walked down the stairs... Maybe Barry would like to see his mother...


Outside...

@green@

"Hard to believe that you guys got worried over a Sneasel..." She muttered, crossing her arms.

@ken@

"Yeah, it is..." Though, he wonder why Koichi acted like that, but he can understand Kari for detecting darkness.... there are Dark-type Pokemon, but she doesn't get upset over that...

@gaomon@

"Sir, what are you planning to do now?"

@thomas@

"I'll be helping Jenny to get some good rest, then after I had some sleep... I can start looking through the virus and see if there are any flaws I could go through..."

@gaomon@

"OK..."

@marcusagumon@

"So, we aren't in any danger?"

@marcus@

"No..."

@marcusagumon@

"So... why is he still growling?"

@guilmon@

"Rrrrrrrrr...." He kept his eyes on Sneasel.... something about him is making him feel wild...

[Salem]

@sneasel@
The dark pokemon stood there for a second, slowly opening his eyes, they glowed red for a moment, watching Kouichi lead into the house.

@@
Rest... for now The cold, chilling voice Kouichi dreaded rang into his ears.

Before he tries to see the Sneasel, it was gone in a black streak. The presence faded into nothing.

[Alien-Child]

@celebii@
Having return to normal, Celebii floated down. "(Okay guys, I think things are settled here... I have to go back with the others now.)" And vanished.

He was thankful to get away from Mew though...

[AnT]

@kari@ "Uh?!" with it gone, her nervous rapidly cooled off. "...it's gone."

@davis@ "Man..." shaking his head, when that Pokemon did that...trick... "I don't get it. How come that Pokemon creeped you out? I mean...I thought..."

---

@red@ Inside, Red shook his head at Blaine's question, while he waited for his turn to heal his Pokemon. "Not really, but now that you mention it...what are you doing here?" Glancing at Professor Oak, who was approaching Professor Rowan. "And while I'm at it, what are you doing here, professor?"

@oak@ Glancing down at the boy, "The news about Missingno freaked me out, that I rushed out here...after I talked to the boys in the Cinnabar labs. They said Missingno broke out of his digital prison, as we saw back at Distortion World."

Facing back to his colleague, "I was hoping you would head over to the Cinnabar labs so we can figure out this mess...again. I have a private jet waiting."
