No Mission

[Sundance]

You step into a dungeon, the sun beating heavily down on you. The grass in the area is overgrown and flowers sprout from the green depths, while the thick aroma of wildflowers, heather, and lavender gently caress the room, mostly from the bushes that make up the walls. There are plenty of exits, nearly too many to choose from.

My true quest begins here.

 Sundance

Despite all of the craziness that happened the night before, Domino had still been rather eager to get up that morning. She had gotten back at that weasel by beating down on one of his friends, and despite being proven just how weak she was by Ranulfr, that only made her determined to get stronger. Now, she wasn’t exactly the “fighting type” if you catch my drift, but if she hated you enough, Domino was willing any kind of leverage against you she could get. For this reason, Domino made quite the exception know that if she became battle ready that she would be able to take down the weasel and humiliate him.

Aside from that, Domino was well aware that there could always be a chance that another creature from the fog would come back. Again, Domino couldn’t care any less about the towns Pokemon, or the so called innocent. On the contrary, if they were completely trashed by whatever came out of the fog, she would be thrilled. However, she was still concerned for her own well-being. As unstable as she seemed, she still had a grasp enough to care about herself.

Though she was curious to see how long that would last…

Recently she had felt her grasp on her own self-loving nature slipping over the fact that her life was saved. No, she didn’t love herself, she was selfish. There was a difference. Loving herself would mean that she honestly had good thoughts about herself. She would want to feel nice, but Domino wanted to see pain and feel pain. Strangely enough, she was still afraid of getting hurt, but she was still in one piece.

Keeping all of these thoughts in mind, Domino stood out like a sore thumb in the flowery, happy looking place. Domino HATED happy. All of the flowers, the lovely aromas of the grass and wilderness, all of the colors. It all made the Emolga want to puke out all of the fuzzy feelings it was giving her, she couldn’t STAND it.

Domino thoroughly regretted her decision, but she had a policy when it came to takes. Just like in her fight against Ranulfr, Domino wasn’t about to give up on what she started. And she knew that if it was the only way to put that weasel in his place that Domino would traverse through this garbage of a dungeon a hundred time.

Of course, what clearly didn’t help was the fact that she was practically lost the moment she entered. In every direction she turned, Domino saw a path to take. How on earth was she supposed to know which one was the right one? Looking into her pouch, Domino saw that the only thing she had was a seed. She kept that seed with her, though, because she knew she may need it later. But that didn’t help her know that she would be able to keep track of where she was. What if Domino ended up walking around in circles, or worse?

Since there was no use just standing around when all she had was a seed, Domino began walking forward. She decided to take one of the paths closest to her, the closest one in fact. She went upward, perhaps because it was an instinctive thing for an Emolga to do.

You walk up a long, winding hallway with aromatic bushes lining your way. The grass crunches beneath your weight as you walk, only for you to walk into another, similarly empty room.

[Domino]

// For Peace was no more//

And it was fun...not really...

 Sundance

As Domino walked along the grassy walls, she would have felt a bit claustrophobic if they were anything harder than the soft material, and if she was much bigger than she was. She thought about trying to cut corners by walking into them, but Domino wanted to get the full experience out of this. What exactly was is that these Explorers, or Pokemon in general, see about these Dungeons? So far it didn’t seem anything but annoying to Domino, who was already starting to lose patience with how fluffy and happy the place was.

Domino placed a paw on the walls and felt how spongey they were before making a slight turn. The path lead up to the next turn, which was long enough to turn her direction westward. The path mad another left, pointing south before turning back to its western direction. Domino sneezed, probably from all of the plants everywhere, only to enter another empty room. Domino felt herself slouch. Well this was getting nowhere.

Domino had just started this adventure and already she was getting bored. Well, at least this room wasn’t nearly as complicated as the room before it. There was only one path she needed to take. She knew the other two openings would only lead her back to where she came from, so the downward path was the only choice. Domino walked over to that path hoping that something more interesting would happen in the next room.

You walk down a short, narrow path that guides you into the next room, a grassy area much unlike the others encountered recently. For once, you were not the only notable thing in the room; in the middle of the space was the stairs, as well as an odd tile painted onto the ground beside a small heather bush. What would happen if you were to step on it...?

[Domino]

// For Peace was no more//

Now we're getting somewhere!

 Sundance

Domino made her way into the next room from the fairly short path, keeping her ears and eyes open trying to keep herself prepared for whatever might’ve come out. Domino had always been a rather wary and not trusting Pokemon who believed that not everything was as it seemed. Still, the lack of activity was starting to get her a little mad as she now plucked grass off of the wall she had her paw on, and allowing them to drop to the grassy ground.

The grass crunched beneath her feet despite its rather soft feeling, and Domino sighed upon seeing something aside from just an empty room. Directly in the center was a set of stairs, which if she was right, would lead her to the next floor of the dungeon. There was also a panel to the left of the stairs, which slightly peaked her curiosity, but just like in most situations, her cynicism won her over. No way was Domino about to fall into some trap because she wanted to know what a fancy panel was for. And that suspicious bush beside it? That was just something being shot at her waiting to happen.

Domino swallowed any urge she might’ve had and walked right to the stairs. She began walking down the stairs in anticipation, much more curious to see what happened when she entered the next floor. And a bit to fight something than she usually would have been.

You walk up a small set of stone stairs with small purple blooms growing from tiny cracks in the dilapidated stone. And, as you go up, it appears that even though there was a second floor above you, you had still been looking at wide sky one the first floor. odd. The room is small and boring, although you can spot a small tile sitting in the grass a bit away, the same one that was on the previous floor. perhaps you could step on it now to sate your curiosity...?

[Domino]

// For Peace was no more//

No, it's boring again...

 Sundance

Going upward, Domino was honestly surprised that the stairs were stone instead of being covered in grass or something. There were flowers slipping up through the cracks, but that was about it. Plants wouldn’t really last very long on the stone, Domino felt. She didn’t even marvel at their beauty and even stepped on some without even acknowledging it. Such weak and insignificant forms of life weren’t even worth Domino’s interest. She wondered where the stairs would lead her since Domino saw no ceiling in sight.

Despite there being a sky, Domino still entered the second floor, in a room without stairs, oddly enough. Guess she wasn’t going back then, huh? Man, dungeons were weird.

Looking around the room, that same panel was in the center of the room, a black one with a green arrow on it. It seemed harmless, this time without a bush sitting next to it, but Domino was adamant about not testing her luck on it. Domino may find out what it did later, but for now she decided it would be best to focus on finding an enemy. She swore if she didn’t find one by the time she found the next set of stairs, she would go in another room.

Domino made her way into the path closest to her, much like last time, which was the path to the left.

You walk down a long, straight path into a small room, although somewhat different from the monotony of the dungeon as a whole. As you step into the cramped space, you can spot an Apple and some Poke, lying abandoned in the long, tall grass. Most likely from an explorer who couldn't quite make it through the dungeon, it seemed somewhat somber, but who could quite bother with sadness?

Oooo! Goodies!

 Sundance

The path Domino took to get into the next room was just as boring as this dungeon was getting. Honestly, this would be perfect if she wasn’t trying to find enemies to fight, but she was. Upon entering the room, she started feeling her tempers boil when she rushed in, throwing caution to the wind, only to find that, once again, no one was there. Domino felt her cheeks buzz as her blood started to boil. Domino’s paws balled up into fists, and she was about to walk right into the next hallway, but paused as she saw a couple of goodies on the ground.

Now, a random panel was one thing, but as an outlaw Domino knew the benefits of having lots of things. Especially if one of those things were money. The Emolga approached the two items and pondered for a bit. Now how on earth did these items end up on the ground like this? It was a dungeon, should she really question? But still, she was curious about who might’ve dropped them. Well, honestly it was no skin off her nose. She swiped them without a second thought. And why not? It’s not like they would be missing those items or anything, and even if they did, Domino surely didn’t care.

With apple and money in tow, Domino brought her focus back to the matter at hand. What was it about this place that didn’t bring her what she really wanted? Was she doing it wrong? Domino wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out she left the dungeon without meeting a single Pokemon. Well that wasn’t what the little Emolga would allow. To the very ends of this floor, Domino wouldn’t step one foot on those steps until she found herself victorious!

There couldn’t possibly be any Pokemon she couldn’t handle! Not in a sappy place like this. Perhaps they were hiding from her! Maybe the enemies were so weak, even she brought fear into their inner bones. The thought caused her to tense up. Even her? Of course she brought them fear! She brought everyone some kind of fear, despite not even being two feet tall!

Straightening herself up, Domino took herself off the ground and glided over to the pathway upward. These Pokemon weren’t going to get away from her, and this dungeon wouldn’t beat her! No doubt, the dungeon could possibly tell that she wanted to battle, and denied it to give her some kind of challenge!

Well, dungeon, Domino smirked. Challenge accepted.

You walk down a small, narrow path made of trampled grass and green, vibrant bushes. The scent of flowers tickled your nose as you walked up the path, finally arriving in a small room with a Ledyba turning to stare at you. Noticing that you were intruding on it's territory, it buzzed over to you, eyes narrowed in anger. With the way this thing was moving, it'd be extremely easy to hit it first.

[Domino]

// For Peace was no more//

Finally! A challenger!

 Sundance

Breathing through her nose as she glided, Domino let out s sneeze before landing on her feet half-way to the room and began rubbing her nose. Curse you allergies! It wasn’t really that bad, but it was still annoying. Domino’s short pause was only a slight distraction before she was gliding in the path again. For whatever reason, the little Emolga felt like gliding over the walls wouldn’t work, so she remained at the level her head would be if her feet were on the ground.

Domino landed at the end of the path and casually entered the room before making eye contact with the Ledyba that was buzzing around in it. The Emolga smirked. It didn’t look happy either, so Domino knew that this was a fight that was meant to happen. Facing her foe with a steady stance, Domino placed all four limbs firmly to the ground, allowing electricity to buzz around her. This bug was way too slow for her! Hardly even a concern for the Flying Squirrel, but a battle was what she was looking for. And that’s exactly what she would get.

Allowing the electricity to dance and enhance, Domino let loose a ThunderShock at her foe, hoping it would have its intended effect, which was pain.

Domino used Thundershock! It's super effective! It's a critical hit!
Ledyba Health - 0/12

The Ledyba let out a cry of agony as lightning shocked it's body, immediately felling the bug-type and rendering it fainted. Swiftly, the fog whisked away the body, leaving you victorious.
