Where are we?

You lean the tip of the lighted end of the staff toward a mirror, watching as a ray of light spirals out of it. It strikes the mirror, but does nothing. You walk to the left, angling the point of impact until a second beam strikes the mirror to the south-which refracts to the one at the north! That beam then returns to the mirror at the west. Realizing you've made a triangle, you run to the center of the room and hold the staff high.

The lights begin to shift colors, and your Pokemon get close to you, unsure what's about to happen. Suddenly, yellow beams of crackling light fly off to the west, and blue shocking light shatter off to the north...but to the southern mirror, you see a deep red light. Its still burning bright.

What do you do?
1) Look in the southern mirror?
2) Drop the staff and run
3) Go up higher..

You've decided that you've ran far enough. You and your group head down the stairwell, and walk into a surprise.

One floor down, and you are on the ground floor. This is apparent by the open door in front of you, and sunlight streaming in. You can hear ocean waves, and the room even looks smaller!

What do you do?
1) Run back upstairs?
2) Investigate!

The southern mirror is worth investigating. You peer through it, and see a glistening coastline. You can almost feel the wind blow against your face. Off to the left of this mirrors view, you see an island covered by black stormclouds.

In a flash, the view turns to a bright red-and then returns to that view of the island amidst the sea.

What do you do?
1) Keep watching?
2) Touch the mirror?
3) Look at a different mirror?

You all step outside, and are welcomed to an extraordinary sight. To your left, is a beach shoreline....with no volcano in sight. To your right, more shoreline. Vast ocean exists in front of you. You turn to look at the pagoda, but all you see is a small two story shack! The sun is bright, but you can't tell much more.

You all fan out slightly and begin walking away from the old shack. It's kinda late in the day, so night will be coming soon. You hear strange sounds coming from the east, away from the water. You aren't sure what to make of it, so you stick to the coast.

A few Kabuto's scuttle by....but you get a spine tingling chill as you watch them scurry off up the beach...

What do you do?

1) Keep walking along the coast
2) Follow the Horseshoecrabs?

Ignoring the scuttlers, you head out. You aren't sure why you can't see the volcano anymore, but there has to be a grand reason, right?

You continue along, before tripping on a strange depression. You ignore it, and continue walking, stepping over a small ridge a few feet ahead.

It doesn't take long for you to trip again. You wonder why you keep missing these small dunes...and Danae and Syracruse can't tell you.

However, Schwarzen seems...unnerved. Its looking around frantically.

What do you do?

1) Keep walking along the coast
2) Calm Schwarzen down

[Greyfox]

Keep walking along the coast while assuring Schwarzen that everything's gonna be alright.

You keep walking, but Scwarzen is disinclined to believe your words. But he keeps following. After a good hike, and several more trips, you reach what appears to be a path. It heads inland.

You also notice a VERY large diamond shaped rock a few feet away.. Its interesting to say the least-because its so thin, and painted in a strange manner.

Schwarzen hisses incessantly, definitely displeased by this.

What do you do?

1) Investigate rock?
2) Take path?
3) Take a swim?

]You walk over and run your hand over the rock. Its warm. Its light, and with a little effort, you can lift it. Upon lifting, you realize it begins to move on its own. Another rock, just like it, slides into place on the other side of a rather pale hill.

Now they form a platform above your head which you could theoretically cross...if you wanted to climb up the pale hill

1) Investigate platform?
2) Take path?
3) Take a swim?

Schwarzen grumbles, but bites your shoulders and lifts you up. Syracuse flies up and then suddenly starts freaking out as well! Danae, not to be left behind, runs up the side of the hill, landing on one of these diamond shaped platforms. Set down on the same one, you try to calm both fliers down.

You turn to look back toward the house, and WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY in the distance of the sky, you see a VERY bright star. Really bright. Gazing at the panoramic view, you spy that there isa lush forest a few miles west of here...and the beach continues past this hill. You look up, but theres nothing left to climb.

Weird-as the platforms shift and now seperate a bit more-turning inclined...forcing you to slide to that pale colored hill. Strange.

1) Investigate more
2) Get down
3) Take a swim?

You eagerly take the lead, running forward until you reach a set of strange landforms that jut out to nowhere. You note a greenish tint on either side of the hill you are on, but nothing more. Syracuse flies in front of you, to get a better look as the hill as well, only to barely dodge what can only be described as a Eruption of Blue flame!

1) Look for the source?
2) Get down?
3) Walk the plank?

You decide to keep moving, but realize the only way to get off is to jump. Schwarzen offers you a ride, and you take it. Danae jumps off the planks, and lands on the ground in one piece. As you four vacate, you turn back to look...and are met with a very terrifying sight. The hill you walked on begins to move!

The green halos on the sides of the pale hill begin to shimmer with light-and you realize they're lenses....not halo's at all. Meaning...you were standing on something's head. Something which is now looking directly at you as you all run/fly away.

1) Flee to the house?
2) Aerial Battle?
3) To the trees!

You back away from that mirror, and head to the northern mirror. Gazing through, you spy only rain. Torrential rain. Ominous clouds. Thunder and high winds blowing everywhere. It seems to never clear, so your view is obscured...

So you stop looking. One final mirror. You walk over and peer through its lens. Through it, you see a raging Blizzard. Huge pieces of ice fly left and right. Its almost scary, really. Then, for a glimpse, you see one beam of light calm the Blizzard..before it vanishes and the blizzard picks up its intensity again.

You back away, now in the center of the room, confused at to what's next...

What do you do?
1) Go back to the first mirror?
2) Second Mirror

Safety first! You recall the Hera and Luca, while Schwarzen flies to the left and backwards so you both can watch. It's not long before you figure it out though, as the head of this massive hill lurches forward.

Those long landmasses reaching to nowhere? Antennae.

That pale hill? Body segments

Those strange diamond shaped platforms? Wings.

Now, the legs came into view, the weird viney constructs you were going to use to climb up hit, had you not been lifted. Putting all these together, and you have a 32 foot Vibrava!

Where the hell ARE You?

1) Flee to the house?
2) Aerial Battle?
3) To the trees!

[Dragonis]

Go back to the first mirror.

[Greyfox]

Schwarzen, as powerful as you are, I don't think we're quite ready for something like this -- let's escape to the trees to get our bearings straight.

The first mirror seemed the most promising. You walk back over to it and try to see if there is something that can help you. Only now....its no longer a sunny beach you see. Its crystal clear water. Everywhere. Below you. Moving at a fantastic rate of speed. The image then rises up, and you see land, well you did, it shot by so fast! It's amazing how fast everything is moving.

The images start to slow and you now see an island. Its daytime on this island, and the images show something strange. A large object is starting to roll in front of your view.

You witness the oblong object be pushed...and pushed...and then carried by two very thin sticks...and then dropped..down somewhere...only to be blasted out? The odd rock splashes in the ocean---far away! Suddenly, you back up as the mirror shows a deep furious fire, raging and destroying all manner of life if it were to remain unchecked. But this fire starts to die. It starts to be overtaken by bubbles..and then by trickles of rain...and then cold sets in.

What do you do?
1) Keep watching.
2) Go upstairs?
3) Leave the tower?

Yeah, no need to take chances. As the massive beast prepares to take off, Schwarzen hurridely takes off for the trees. The massive Vibrava attains lift somehow, and swallows the sky for a moment, before loudly buzzing off to unknown parts across the sea.

Schwarzen lands in the trees, all three heads looking around carefully. You take a moment to notice your surroundings, and spy a red rock. Its about as big as Schwarzen. You tap it, and its smooth.

Familiar.

Your suspicious are confirmed when suddenly, a giant WORM pops out of it, and then eats its way back inside.

That was an apple....a giant..apple.

1) Go deeper in?
2) Head back to the house
3) Eat the APPLE!

Oh, I am not ready to play Alice in Wonderland -- let's head back to the house...

You keep viewing, entranced by what seems to be a drama? As you watch...the fires continue to spark, despite the overabundance of cold water surrounding them. Then, from your view, you see a large shadow circle over the fire...but the shadow is getting smaller....and smaller....and smaller.

Until the darkness consumes the fire..and all is dark.

The mirror goes black, and that when Jacen taps you. You turn and look to where he is pointing

"Sad sad tale *sob* I was there for that one! No justice! No retribution. Just heartache!"

Nope. Not your realm. You hop back on Schwarzen-and make a beeline back to the house. Once you reach its dilapidated state, you and Ward dash in and upstairs to the second floor. You see the familiar sliding panel door and shove it open, revealing the hallways ahead.

"Yes yes. I told you you need the protector. Well, the mirrors here show you the visions of the protectors, so when one needs them, they can be found and called upon. But its said that when the protectors are all removed from this world, a new set will be released.

Until then, there will always be a storm in that mirror, and a blizzard in that one. What you just saw is why this protector just left. Its sole posession-the egg? It was thrown out of the volcano by by idiot Heatran! Heartbroken-and unable to complete the trinity if it leaves, the protector left-in order to keep balance..."

You dare only go as far as the next room. This is already proving to be quite the trip. You shut the door behind you, and head down the stairs. You reach the next level down, and walk into a...business? Your attire hasn't changed, nor has Warz.

Almost immediately, a security guard grabs you.

"Hey! What do you think you are doing? Pokemon not allowed indoors!"

1) Break free and run?

Slowly, you retrieve a Pokeball, and recall Schwarzen. Weird really. But you go with it, and walk around. In the conference rooms you pass, you see people working over many a project-with high end technology.

You wonder if somehow, you are in the fabled Silph Co. until you walk past one of the signs with the logo of the company.

The Ditto seems a little less confident in its abilities than one would find comforting, but nonetheless willing.

Knowing you are looking for the protector-you first realize you need clues. You know Ditto said that it left because of some reason, something falling away. How to start this puzzle? You realize you can still go up in this pagoda...

1) Look for information relating to what the Protector is?

You keep walking, and happen to pass a room that is open, but unoccupied. You make that calm left turn, and shut the door behind you. There are no windows facing the hallway, so you relax.

The window that is visible, faces the outside world, and you almost crap yourself at what you see. Not more than a mile away, is Shinsuke in all its glory! The volcano is capped with snow, completely dormant, and you can see that a whole town has developed around it This tower seems to be where the pagoda should have been, but that just can't be real!

A flock of Spearow speed by, and you then hear a phone ring in the room.


1) Answer the phone?
2) Go out the window
3) Leave room and head for ...information?

Answer it!
