//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Sickness, rampaging beasts. // Story: Displaced Pokepasta. // by Neutral Boy //------------------------------// In the human world of where Sunset Shimmer resides, things haven't been going so well. Apparently, before and after the magical incident at Canterlot High School, bizarre news reports has slowly risen over the past weeks. Reports on newspapers shows missing people, dead wild animals, crashed vehicles, burned buildings, and so on. Police and investigators were doing their best to calm everyone down, but it didn't work until things grew more worse on that fateful day. During the chaos going on at CHS of a cyber bullying problem, one of the students in a gym class suddenly collapses from an unknown disease illness. The Principal named Celestia called for an ambulance and took the student to the hospital, but no one didn't notice that this was only the beginning. A week later, more students and teachers have fell ill that they were transported out. The same illness also happened at Crystal Prep Academy as well. Even all the teachers and Principal fell ill. The remaining ones at CHS and CPA who weren't infected didn't know what's going on and decided it would be best to close down the schools until this whole mess is over. Later on, the government were called in by someone in order to find out what caused all of this mess as both Canterlot and Crystal Empire are under lock-down quarantine. While the chaos still goes on, the mirror portal at CHS suddenly opens up in a black portal as several figures appear one by one with the big one being last. Each of them went to head out separately in order to find their new objectives. A few hours later, the same figures head back at the portal spot. Each have found items they collected, including three students who are unconscious. Each one of them went back inside the black portal until the last one stops for a moment. It unleashes a sudden big green blast from it's hand to destroy most of the CHS building and planting something on the ground before entering the portal. Meanwhile, back at the ruined resort. . . After Misty's friends explained to her the details when she went unconscious, everything seem back to mostly normal, but all of them are still keeping an out for danger especially Justin's Pokemon since they felt a cold, bad, and terrifying vibe. While everyone were relaxed for some time, Justin pulls out his Pokedex book to identify new Pokemon. "Chikorita; The Leaf Pokemon. In battle, Chikorita waves its leaf around to keep the foe at bay. However, a sweet fragrance also wafts from the leaf, becalming the battling Pokémon and creating a cozy, friendly atmosphere all around." "Espeon; The Sun Pokemon. Espeon is extremely loyal to any Trainer it considers to be worthy. It is said that this Pokémon developed its precognitive powers to protect its Trainer from harm." "Piplup; The Penguin Pokemon. Piplup lives along shores in northern countries. A skilled swimmer, it dives for over 10 minutes to hunt." "Axew; The Tusk Pokemon. Its large tusks have a tendency to break, but each time they grow back, they grow in harder and sturdier. Axew also uses it's tusks to crush the berries they eat and mark it's territory by leaving gashes in trees." He closed his book and looks around to see if there's any food or drink. He notices a refrigerator and walks over to it while his two Pokemon follows him. Opening up the fridge, he finds some nice food and drink as he grabs them and closes the fridge. Sitting on some cardboard boxes, he hears some gurgling noises coming from his Pokemon. Sighing, he gives both Celebi and Meloetta tasty apples. "You two must be starving from being inside those pokeballs for so long." Justin says smiling to them. "Eat up, but don't chow down too much or you might get a belly ache." So his Pokemon proceed to chew on the apples while he eats a Kit-Kat bar and also drink a bottle of water. While the three are busy eating, Anabel puts her ear at the bunker door to hear anything. "Something's not right, it's too quiet on the outside of the bunker." "You think those monsters have already left the island?" Dawn asked her friend. "No, I don't think they intend to yet at least." Anabel then hears some echoing sounds and it would seem it's getting louder. "Everyone get back, something's coming this way and it ain't slowing down." Anabel moved away from the door as everyone got up and their Pokemon ready for a fight. 'BOOM' A loud sound is heard when something hit the bunker door as it keeps ramming it. "Whatever's on the other side must've found us. That door won't hold for long girls." May said getting afraid. "Your right, also that strange smell is disgusting." Serena says covering her nose. "What're we gonna do? We're literally trapped in here." "Hey girls, I found something under the fridge!" All the girls heard Justin's voice and hurried to find him pushing the fridge over. "It must be an escape hatch leading to somewhere like another room." More pounding were heard as the door is losing grip. Thinking to himself for any ideas, he got one and grabs each of the heavy objects to move and barricade the door with enough force. "Quick girls, each of you go inside one at a time. I'll buy you some time by barricading the door." "But what about you Justin?" Misty says with worry, thinking he might get killed. "Don't worry Misty, I'll catch up with all of you later. Now hurry up and escape!" So each of the girls and their Pokemon proceed to enter the hatch one by one, leading to Anabel being the last as she watches him getting all the objects. "You better come back to us alive in one piece." Anabel enters the hatch before closing the lid entrance. Justin grabs the last load of objects and barricade with the rest. He sighs in relief that the it was successful to buy everyone time. Unfortunately, Several pieces of the metal were pierced as it is shown three monsters digging their way in faster. The glowing inside Justin's bag grew to light as he pulls it out and opens it up to view these monsters. "Entei; The Volcano Pokemon. Entei embodies the passion of magma. This Pokémon is thought to have been born in the eruption of a volcano. It sends up massive bursts of fire that utterly consume all that they touch." "Raikou; The Thunder Pokemon. Raikou embodies the speed of lightning. The roars of this Pokémon send shock waves shuddering through the air and shake the ground as if lightning bolts had come crashing down." "Suicune; The Aurora Pokémon. Suicune embodies the compassion of a pure spring of water. It runs across the land with gracefulness. This Pokémon has the power to purify dirty water." 'This can't be good.' Justin thought in fear and sweating in nervously. He then notice that those three Pokemon began to charging up an attack that could vaporize him. "Oh crap." Thinking quickly, he grabs his two Pokemon in his arms and closes the fridge door, trapping him inside. The three beasts launch their special attack at the metal door and destroying the barricade. They went inside and thrash around the room and destroying the supplies. One of them launches an aurora beam at the fridge as the brick walls collapses and the fridge flies out from the impact and going to have another impact outside on the ground. When the bunker room is cleared out, a figure enters the room and senses that something's up. "Find the rest of the survivors. Make sure that they don't get away again." The three beasts Pokemon roars and splits up to find the survivors. Outside and far off from the bunker, a fridge door pops open and out comes Justin with dizzy eyes. "Well, at least I made it out." He shakes his head to snap out of dizziness and gets out. His two Pokemon also gets out and levitates up then land then holds onto his two shoulders. Looking around, he must be outside and it looks like a large fog is covering the whole island resort. "Might as well find some place for any weapons before I catch up to the girls." So he proceeds to walk and looking around for any signs of danger or supplies to pick up. He spots some of the deceased chewed up bodies and looks away. While walking further, two of Pokemon Celebi and Meloetta senses danger from somewhere in the sky. Both of them yell out to Justin as he stops and look at them. "What's the matter you two?" Both put their palms pointed up high as he turns his head up. He sees a blurry of large things flying over the island resort. One of them spots him as the others saw him too. His body grew pale as those things is flying towards him. "Just had to get worse, ain't it?" Justin make a break for it in panic and tries to find any shelter. Things grew worse when the sudden flames, electricity, and ice attacks barely missed him as more sounds of howling roars were also joining in the prey. "AHHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!" Back at the resort, all the girls and their Pokemon made it inside another room. They then grab any of the supplies of food & drinks before quietly walking out and entering the hallway, making sure to watch each other's back for any signs of those monsters lurking around. "I can't believe we left him behind." Misty quietly says as her tears were showing. "Don't worry Misty, I'm sure he found another way out." May says comforting her friend. "Yeah, I guess your right." While everyone is walking, they stopped when they heard growls in front of them. Seven more monsters appeared blocking the way and had their sights on the fresh meats. They proceed to charge while the girls made a run for it. "Axew, use smokescreen to cover the hallway!" "AXEW!" Axew uses smokescreen to surrond the whole hallway to confuse the enemies. "AHHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!" Misty stops her running and hears Justin calling for help. Thinking he might be in real danger, she immediately split up from her group as they saw her split up and tried calling back to her to come back. "Hold on Justin, I'm on my way!" Misty shouted and runs to the near entrance outside. "Misty come back!" Anabel also split up and goes after Misty while the rest kept running from the monsters. Justin keeps running and panting from running away of three flying monsters and also the bloody pack. "I-If any of you have an attack*pant*is good, now might be*pant*the time to use it right now!" Obey his command, both Celebi and Meloetta closes their eyes as they open up with glowing eyes of psychic power. Just felt his whole body being levitated and flew up high in time from escaping a flame attack. He's then flew to a nearby shelter and is impacted in a bunch of junks. His head pops up and shakes the dust off of him. "Whew, thanks for the save Celebi and Meloetta." His two Pokemon yelp in acknowledge nods. As all three of them get out of the junk pile, Justin pulls out two objects from the junk. One has a bell with a scarf ribbon while the other has along pole with dusty flag. Curious, he takes them along as weapons to use. "A ribbon bell and a dusty old pole flag, might come in handy." Justin walks around carefully to not make any loud sound as it could alert more monsters. A moan is heard in the distance as he covers his mouth. Tiptoeing to the noise coming from the door, he peeks at the small window part to find two more survivors lying on the ground. Looking both way, he slowly opens the door and enter inside with his Pokemon before closing it. Turning around, he walks over to find the survivors are females. One with the mix red & orange hair while the other one has mix lavender hair. "At least I found more survivors that are still alive." Justin murmurs in relief. Sitting on the ground, he puts down his weapons and pulls out a book. While he's reading off anything to find, Celebi and Meloetta hover over to the girls and watches them as they tend to chat in their own language. "I better see if there's any moves Celebi and Meloetta have that's useful. It could maybe turn the tide in order to escape this mad bloody island. I just hope the other have better luck than I have." Unbeknownst to the three, a book in one of the bags began to silently vibrate with a message. 'Sunset, are you there? Please tell me your alright! Everything's spinning out of control over here! I know that it might not be the best time to tell you come back after the falling out, but I need you to come back! Write me back if your okay! Please hurry, I don't how much longer I can hold out to fending them off!'
