Antimatter is not my favorite matter

*"By the way, tsk, of course this was just pre-tactic...this is just pre-tactic to foil the enemy players." A grin. Then Minun was helped removing a thorn and a perfect hole appeared "It's all an impression given by the pixels, Porygon can confirm, ehm. Ahem. Porygon 2?"*

## Overview

A brand new episode is starting! Normally you can have a good day or a bad day, but what happens when you have an inverted one? Beyond the Schwarzchild's limit and Schopenahuer's "World as Will and Representation" there is Giratina and his dimension that no pokèmon ever crossed before. Who will pass the exam of Antimatter and who will be rejected in the void?

## Prologue

7:51 A.M.

"Name: Lunatone. Type: Rock/ Psychic. Signal trait: Creepy eyes. Classified Villain: Sociopath. Last place seen: Quirky (Strange) House." Aurorus opened the file provided by Lester under the section Lunatone "*Lunatone was last seen in the alley of the house and all the witnesses confirmed that he appeared and talked to Dunsparce from a wall. Then, Dunsparce fainted in trance and walked away with another pokèmon than Lunatone: the identity of this pokèmon is object of a theory of mine*. Continue..." Aurorus struggled to change page with the touch screen that froze as she touched it "Uff. Not again. Come on, okay done. *My theory is really quirky, obviously. Lunatone never existed or if it existed it is no more alive yet this pokèmon is interested to keep Dunsparce remember about it and think it's still in contact with him somewhere. Each time Dunsparce has a "remind" of Lunatone he gets more and more unstable and this links with Seviper's case. Seviper was also in contact with Lunatone for the first time and there's the same pokèmon behind. Seviper was similarly hypnotized and fainted in a fake nightmare orchestrated in the attic. I found pieces of evidence that she struggled against three pokèmon at contemporary, and, if you check your neck behind, you were one of those, Aurorus!* What?"

Aurorus bent her neck and noticed signs of bites she was totally unaware of the whole time "*Seviper's nightmare was about being declassified as an ugly pokèmon like Dunsparce by a trainer (a pokèmon able to stand up on two legs) and at the end assaulted by three sanguinary Zangoose that ruined definitely her aspect for the rest of the life. The attic was full of mirrors in fact and the mysterious pokèmon assured that Dunsparce was in front of her when she checked the mirrors: the tracks of the land snake leave no doubts."* Aurorus zoomed on the photos of the "crime scenes" taken by Lester: there were Dunsparce's tracks, water ponds that could have been only her tracks of ice touch melted, and...the tracks of the third pokèmon? "Uhm... *'By the way, I'm certain of one thing: Jirachi was never there! Even for me it's impossible to be in two places at contemporary, imagine for a legendary, and that time he was busy on us. At the end, there are 4 floors from the alley to the attic and there would have not been time normally to commit this double plan, **but if time dimension was elapsed**...or **if you're two pokèmon at contemporary*** this was easy. BY THE WAY!"'Aurorus's eyes widened ***"***I just wanted to end in this way since it sounds perfect as the finish line***"*** Spaz. But the spaz detective had provided her more informations than she expected. It was finally morning. Aurorus was careful and thought it didn't take to go forward and risk, therefore closed everything and prepared for the new day.

8.00 A.M.

Seviper woke up with a terrible sensation. She felt nausea, vertigos and irritable bowel syndrome. It didn't help that she was on an airplane, outside.. "Gorgle." She crawled through the first window she found opened, finding herself in the seat where Minun was sleeping. The rodent opened eyes and singulted, but the snake hushed him istantly covering his mouth "Sssh, I'm not here to slash you." Then climbed up to enter in the flits of the vent, her favorite place not only because it was the hideout of the alliance. Here, she could check in tranquillity what was happening when, all of sudden, her belly twiggled. Seviper checked the lumps: it was the last one that twiggled. It was the egg of Aurorus. Another wiggling, more sickness, Seviper shook her tail violently like a rattle but the egg didn't stop to shake on his own. "Enough with you! I'll digest you directly once for all."

Seviper coiled up several times, stretched her muscles, glomped several objects and hanged to the ventilation tubes with the bite. No avail. Instead she felt tired and heavy, and sickest. The egg was fine on the contrary. "Curssse you. This isss not a good day indeed...gurgle."

"Seviper? I saw everything."

Anorith. The viper had completely forgotten that he also frequented the vents outside the alliance reunions. "And ssso?"

"Admit it. This is sickening even for your standards. When I was informed about the situation of the blackmail for the egg it was too late to scold you but now you crossed the line." The anomalocaris had no fear once more to go straight into her face "Do you realize that you're keeping an egg with life inside and not one of your average snake meals?"

"IT'S ALWAYS AN EGG. I eat bird eggs regularly. I see no difference."

"A dinosaur egg from Ice Age, indeed. Anyway, is the egg wiggling? Can you feel it moving in your belly? Because it's starting to hatch." Anorith pinced the lump causing a little pain to Seviper as the egg produced a cold stream inside her  "Your stomach is the perfect place where having all the body heat it needs. This situation is already abominous but it could turn worse very soon."

"It's not your business, think at something more important, like, earn my satisfaction!" she was angry as sick "Cause I'm not satisfied with your contribute to the alliance so far. Argh."

"Okay, then let's see how much you resist."

"I'll show you...gaaaasp. Ssshit." Meanwhile she suffered Anorith enjoyed his breakfast, a fossilized macarone saved from the very first ceremony."The oldest the best: only in this way it's crunchy at the right point.

Her face turned green and was forced to stuff the face into her same spires to not puke, but the egg moved again and they heard a crack followed by a little stomp to her digestive organ "Aaaghnorith!"

"A-ah! Priceless."

"Shut up and do something."

"There's a possibility to handle the situation saving both your health and the egg. It is to give the egg everything it needs from the inside of you. Open the mouth." Anorith dislodged the A/C climatizer and threw it "Freezing down the temperature of your body we'll both postpone the hatching and calm down the egg a little."

"Ssseriously?!?" Seviper rattled teeth giving him a killer view but then the egg stopped to wiggle giving her a cease. "Fine. I'll follow your suggestions by now *but try to get advantage of this and I'll swallow down you with the egg.* Now scram, we stayed here over the time."

"This is gonna be a good day indeed." Anorith whispered to himself.

8:51

After the worst night of his cranky life Lucario woke up in late. He was strongly strapped to the seat but when he tried to strap off the straps broken and the automatic parachute activated: Lucario took off with the stream but luckily the parachute stuck to the flag with the symbol of Victini."Stupid seat." was his comment.

It took some minutes for him to get out that situation and it was past the time for the breakfast tea. There was only Piplup that was similarly in a bad mood after having spent all the night restoring her blue feathery. With poor results. Lucario dipped his first cookie in the tea and it melted immediately, without he could do anything in time. "Stupid tea." He took another cookie and dipped it successfully but the plane abruptly veered upside down. "Stupid pilot, sgrunt." Piplup stayed motionless with the teapot poured over her head, then dropped the face on the table.

Lucario stood up and directed to the bathroom to have a bath. When everything was prepared for the bath, he slipped on the soap bar and changed idea "Stupid soap! Sgrr. I need a cold shower." He broken the shower soon after. But didn't renounce, there was also the shower of the female bathroom and there wasn't a soul there at the moment. "Stupid shower. I'll have my shower, no chances of the opposite." Sly and stubborn, Lucario sneaked in the batroom next. Here he opened the water and entered in the shower, finding himself in the middle of Oshawott and Squirtle. "STUPID ME. RAAAAAAR!"

In that moment the signals of safety illuminated  "Bad morning all, please fasten your seat bells again: we're almost arrived at destination." Vulpix in hostess outfit announced smoothly on the monitors then took off everything and flamed on "Fire up the roller coaster!" then Oshawott could not notice something "Squiiiiirtle!"

## Episode

The plane hurled upside down again, this time permanently, and landed in this position on a platform in the middle of nowhere. Inkay was super amazed of the outcome "I stand straight for the first time! I finally see everyone and everything in the eyes."

"Because where were you looking at so far?" Minun asked and immediately regretted in ashame seeing her subtle smirk "It doesn't matter!"

"It does antimatter. As my friend Vi, yawn, likes to say: VVelcome in the Distorsion World!" as Jirachi announced it the blood-freezing screech of Giratina rebounded around them.

As this wasn't enough to give them chills, each pokèmon felt strange than usual since they had stepped foot on there. "Dunsparce? There's something off with you." The land snake didn't realize yet. "You're bigger than Seviper, bigger than Metagross and bigger than Aurorus!"

"Sssince when?!?"

"Quiiiirrrrrky!"

Jirachi seemed the only unsurprised.

"Wait a minute, by the way!" Lester noticed to have been put into a new device "I am a pokèdèx really! Call me the PokèLex by now. Then I know the answer: Dunsparce is reported to be 4m and 11 long, ah! \*EPIC DATA\*" Dunsparce learned for the first time he could have been tall as a Salamence.

"I'm of the opposite opinion. Why I can't move my body correctly?" Minun felt suddenly attracted by Metagross and his body attached on the crab "L-Like now." and then to Lucario's leg "Ehehee..it's not like it seems." with pitched mouse voice, he received a snarl in response. And a mysterious glare from Lampent, too.

"Wow, this place looks like a videogame." Bagon played with the strange trees that appeared and disappeared as he approached or retired the hand. Anorith pondered "Videowhat? Hey, don't look at me odd. I just asked."

"Here I wanted you. The journal challenge is this: a giant platform game." Jirachi whirled upside down "Moving at 360° through the Distorsion World your goal is to complete 4 levels and **retrieve the orb of Giratina** at the end. Giratina will be always at your seek but you can't defeat him until the final level where you'll battle against him." Battle with Giratina, the only and original and frightening rejected from Arceus? Each pokèmon had his reaction. "Du-du-dun. The first team to pick the Orb is the winner, the loser is the team that finishes all the lives in the earliest level."

Minun stared "What do you mean? We have only one life and we're not going to lose it for sure. Right?"

"First remember about yesterday..." the co-host answered with a serafic tone "Here I wanted you, again. There are  pokèmon that didn't take part to the last challenge or dropped it at a certain point. I closed both the eyes but not my real one, therefore the victory or defeat for their teams will be only in their hands: Beheeyem, Lucario, Rotom. You are in control of the situation."

"No."

Jirachi wished and three joysticks appeared  "Literally. Along with your destiny in the reality show. The loser player will get a penalty forever **for the rest of the competition**, if not be eliminated today."

**// Vent //**

**"Whoever is the loser at the end, he will be cursed for the rest of the reality show and be unable to focus on each challenge next." Ninjask meditated "Sounds perfect for our revenge."**

**"So" Minun tried to resume facts "We're under the control of Lester and we'll be guided by him through four levels of this  insane logic hell in order to arrive straight at the lair of Giratina and steal his precious legendarious orb. I'm still waiting to awake from the nightmare!"**

**Opposite reaction from Lester in the vent "Wwwoooow! This is a level of quirkness I never reached before, not even with the 4DSter. You do remember. By the way I feel the pressure really increasing now. On one side the penalty looks marvelous because it will make each challenge even more funny for me! On the other sounds like a damnation for my dreams of victory! I'm split. And I have still to apologise to Ghosty or Aghy or Aghostina or Lampent for those that missed the last episode."**

"By the way, let's begin?! Click, click, click." he said out of pure adrenaline, unable to wait.

"Doo.." Jirachi continued  "Each pokèmon has 3 lives but one Jiggler and two Leviathans of your choice get an extra one. Roooonf."

"Skip tutorial. Skip!"

"Fiiiiiii alsorememberthatyoucanuseverypowerofyourteammatesbutkeepinmindtheyllatheopposite"

"Tutorial: Off."

".... START."

"Oh, finally! By the way I pick Lampent and Porygon 2 for the extra life."

"I would have picked Metagross in your place..."

"I'm the leader? I'm the player? So I decided.Sht."

"Perfect. Duh, Lucario?" Lucario struggled with the controller to select: Ninjask. Unlike the Leviathans, the Jigglers appreciated the choice of their player.

Beheeyem "Question: how many players we can control at contemporary? ....Alright. Tutorial: On."

"T-

"Not again. Tutorial: Off!"

"Then discover it by yourself, dzooooom." Jirachi teleported away in the fashion of an 8-bit videogame.

"Impatient as usual, eh Lester? You never change." Beheeyem commented with irony.

"I just hate tutorials and YES, I'll never change, not even in the Distorsion World because I am unique. So

LEST

GET

STARTED!"

// Vent //

"Do you like my new catchphrase? As always in theme with me. I thought to add some innovations to my repertory."

### LEVEL ONE

The first level was structured as an obstacle course on floating platforms that forced the players to go upside down the ceiling at a certain point, with lot of odd hazards to threaten their lives that ranged from appearing and disappearing spikes, unstable floor tiles, revertable platforms, falling boulders and holes. At the end of the course, somewhere, a wormhole indicated the passage for the next level.

Lester was not impatient, but eager! He immediately selected Minun "Why always me?" and started the course, but the rodent didn't move with Metagross attached on "Hey, I gave you the command to move! Mmmmh...Then I move Metagross. What? Not again?!" Metagross didn't move a single of the four arms. Lester was getting overly annoyed "Then I'll select both at contemporary!!!" and finally something happened: the bionic crab moved over Minun placing uspide down over his head, still attached.

Minun: "Eh.......?"

"Quirky." Lester pondered a little then clicked on the up button and Minun jolted on the first platform "Finally! Again! Okay! We're having a deal eventually. Lest go!"

"Have you noticed the spikes merging from the floor? I think you should better get in confidence with the commands before. Woah! Boing! Woah! No! Lester! Listen! Ahhhh!" an error of calculation in the last jump costed them the impalation and first life. "Ops. Ahahahahah!" He soon realized that wasn't the best time for a ROFL when Minun reappeared with several thorns under the skin, and quickly tried to save in corner "By the way, tsk, of course this was just pre-tactic...this is just pre-tactic to foil the enemy players." A grin. Then Minun was helped removing a thorn and a perfect hole appeared "It's all an impression given by the pixels, Porygon can confirm, ehm. Ahem.Porygon 2? But enough with this, I will play with my serious skills by now. Round 2: Lest get started for real."

He selected Minun again and again the same problem happened: stuck to the Metagross. "Do-the-tutorial-now-Lester!"

"No. But I'll find the way, don't worry!"

"Who worries, infact, I just signed for both the hospital and the sanity."

"What happens if I press the A button? Ta-dah! I did it." Minun was separated from Metagross "And the B?" Minun attracted Metagross to himself again. "Ah! Funny. A again. B. So this is the special power of Minun at contrary. He normally emanates a negative and repulsive energy so in this distorted dimension he has a positive and magnetic electricity! All square. This is gonna be even more quirky than I thought, it's EPIC." Lester eyes shone "Each one of the Leviathans has a special power at opposite and I am in control, \*ah the dream of a leader\*." The electric ghost squealed for the excitement spritzing sparks.

**"I saw many scary things in my life but this beats any of them." drawled Lampent in confessional.**

"*Still I don't get the purpose of it's power and the quirky assemble with Metagross, uhm*. Doesn't matter! I'm curious to try also Porygon 2 and...." hesitated blushing for the shame, unable to look at her face. "Lampy. Aghosty. Stina....Lampent! Lampent, i-if you want, eh."

"As I have choice?" shrugged her.

"Eeehhm." No, Lester couldn't take her now. Neither Minun or Metagross seemed properly settled. "Porygon 2, I pick you now! Don't disappoint me. *Please*. This your home, afterall!"

"My home is supposed to be the Moon and not the Distorsion World. . ."

"A button! CLICK. I'm really curious how you act at contrary."

Porygon 2 eyes widened "Ohhhhhhh! I feel real. No more codes tickling in my brain, no more bleeping noises inside my head, maybe I listen the sound of my heart too. I'm F.R.E.E." he wandered on the course "No more rules implemented in my mental circuits, all restrictions and limitations are turned OFF. Say hello to Mr. Porygon and adieu to Mr. Robot. I can dress shades just for randomity. End of the chains and I'm feeling so many emotions at contemporary! I'm happy for the feelings, I'm fascinated by the place, I'm also really scared by the task you're supposed to make me to do: you can't control me."

"Wrong. B button and immediately! Reset in yourself, my quirky friend."

"Gasp. Bip." Porygon 2 stopped right before the spikes. "No.. I turned back to the previous me. Lester, why? Free me again!"

"Chill, Porygon, wow." Lester was speechless.

"Chill? I'm not on a firewall. Ah, right, back to my virtual mind process. Pathetic. Hey, Minun, give me the correct definition of "chill"." Aimed with the Zap Cannon "I-it means relax. But, seriously, why always on me? Better I shut." Porygon 2 folded back the arm "Re-lax? Got it. I understand now."

"Yes, Pory, relax and just trust me as usual. Since you're already there I'll start the game with you, okay?"

"N.O. That stays for No Owns."

Lester blink blinked as he refused to move despite he was giving the order. "What's happening? K'mon, don't do the bad player and glitch. Eheheh. Glitch! Ahem, right you have no sense of humor. Seriously now, you can't not move, it's by the rules! Impossible, how you're breaking them?"

"Hacked in your remote controller. You can't control me anymore, ever! I bypass the rules of the game and play it on my will. #No Owns. None owns me anymore. Look at this quirkness, now." the living polygon suspended at gravity 0 and proceeded ignoring all the laws of phyisique glitching through every obstacle. "#@.P.I.C P.O.S.E."

"Not bad, ok." Lester admitted. "I'm kind of impressed but 1) don't inflate your ego now because you're still none 2) don't steal/spoil my EPIC POSE another time!" Then turned to the others showing a wide cheerish cat smile of confidence "By the way I can deal with it, yes we can manage." (trad: la possiamo gestire)

"Duh of course this is against the rule and I will not consider the level scored by him. Yawn, also don't force me get back again since I'm taking a deserved sleep after two days."

"Icandelawithit!" the red Rotom repeated immediately at fasten pace with little voice. "Yeswecanmanage!" smiled even wider.

"Dyup, you are warned." Jirachi teleported again to continue his sleep on the plane but found someone waiting for him indoor. "Who?"

"Oh, it's you, finally." an hedgehog sat on a stool. A white fur coat matched with the green of the bushes that grew all over the mane, two big flowers decorated the leafy shoulders and a little angry muzzle with a dainty black nose completed the portray of Shaymin, the Gratitude pokèmon. She had a pretty upset face and her paws tap tapped on the floor impatiently. She didn't let Jirachi to "How ungrateful from you wasting my precious time that I generously conceived to you in this way. My presence is an unique gift itself, consider yourself lucky but no, make me wait instead for my date. Shame on you, Victini. Wait, you are not Victini. Ah, then he's not even here! Double shame."

"...yep. I'm Jirachi." Jirachi introduced himself, then said"So you're Shaymin, the next date of Vi. Pity Victini is currently unavailable because of an accident. Deal? Try another time, doolid. Yaaaawn, zzz." After that speech he picked his favorite pillow and closed the eyes sneezing. "I don't care. None waste a Shaymin's gift. I'm here for a date and you will replace him. Begin bringing me outside." She pulled his arm "Ronf...fiii...???"

"Get busy! Show me the place of our date in first instance. As I said, if I gave this gift I demand a serious love experience." Shaymin pulled Jirachi and the pillow outside, gazed at the panorama, and commented "It's original, at least. A bit too much for my tastes, where's the restaurant for example since I expect a dine out, too, I was promised it specifically."

"Eh? A restaurant in the Distorsion World? In your dreams..." Jirachi was still dizzy, but shocked when she replied with a smooch "And romance, most of all. I want a passionate loooove otherwise I would have never accepted. I like doing things in order, tough. Therefore let's begin with a romantic walk together in this bizarre place. Is it night or is it always this dark?"

"Jeez...you seem to not understand. Goodbye to my sleep."

Vulpix from a window opened whispered "Psst, don't worry, boss, and count on me, blink."

"Let's see who to pick first now that I know all the commands and features."

"About time, you assslow."

"Mmmh, it's not easy considering the sources I have today: for example I would have likely used Aurorus's neck extension to create bridges to link the platforms but she turned from "Land Before Time" to "Even Before Evolution." Aurorus had shrunk to the dimensions of a lizard while Dunsparce looked a giant dragon in comparison. "So I discarded this strategy. I'm a pro gamer, not a random like these two I'm countering."

"Hey! Do you want a real countering?" Lucario showed the fist with the joystick included. Soon emulated by Rotom.

Beheeyem didn't flinch replying "No. Do you want a brain compression? By the time your punch reach my face, your brain would have already imploded." His hands glew "In a snap of my finger."

"Grr, I dare you...bah, I don't waste my time breaking the spine to spineless." Lucario returned focused on the challenge.

"Beheeeeyeeem! I'm tired to stand still. get busssy. Alien Ssslowpoke."

"Fine. I decided to go with you." Beheeyem selected Seviper and started. He made her jump the first platform, then waited for the spikes to appear, studied their timing, and made her jump to the second platform. The third was higher and mobile. Beheeyem knew her player wasn't the best leaper but her species wasn't utterly useless for the cause, using the joypad he forced her to knot several times: Seviper eeked as her stomach was contorced in that manner and felt the nausea back. Hissed a curse. Beheeyem used her spring form to give her a more powerful push in the jump but seemed to forget that the platform moved horizontally and the snake reached it for a fang, her single fang left. The egg rolled at the bottom of her body adding extra deadlock, but she managed to get up and faced the subsequent obstacle dodging the spiky trees slaloming with her serpentine moves under the perfect control of him. Then Beheeyem changed his mind all of sudden realizing something "Uhm...Of course. I could use her better." and lead Seviper where a spike merged "killing" her. "You beehemstard! I swear I kill you-!"

"Why you did that mistake on purpose? She was managing."

"I don't have to give explanations, Anorith. It would be useless and worthless of my time." Beheeyem selected Seviper again and repeated the actions, knotted her again, then changed character leaving her on the second platform in that fashion, swearing at him. "Mumble. Anorith. An average skill character is the best for the first test."

"Who you called average skilled and what that means exactly in your world?" No time for answers, he was forced to jump two times and then arrived where Seviper was left. She was purple in the face. Beheeyem took the run up, well, Anorith through his control obviously, and jumped using the spring snake as a trampuline. Anorith landed safely with a better timing than the previous attempt "Darn, phew. Great! Now how I'm going to face these cursed trees of spikes? Alright. With these. Klack-klack." Anorith cut the obstacles with the reflexes of his pincers. "That was the idea." Anorith waited to get cheered on by his teammates but nobody cared, each one focused on their businesses and problems.And certainly not Beheeyem.

Beheeyem selected Aurorus then, she was little enough to enter in the mouth of Seviper and retrieve her precious but discarded quickly that thought considering the huge risk to lose both her egg and her life. Her touch at contrary **scorched** the scarface of the snake during the jump much for her little pleasure. She deserved it and worst. Inkay followed acting normally for once. At the end was the turn of the gigantic Dunsparce: "Dunsamence." The landsnake was clearly an heavyweight to carry on Seviper but he didn't care. And Dunsparce was careless on his own about the trheatens and the health of his leader. "I'm following commands as usual, the difference is that they don't come from you." Jumped but didn't reach the correct height however he used the not so little anymore wings and flapped the necessary gap to land on the platform. "Here."

All the Venturers were on the mobile platform except Seviper, that was in her worst shape. Beheeyem couldn't wait her recovery and forced her to jump before other pokèmon could exploit her. To avoid a Tropius bis. This ruthless mercilessly cold behaviour of him didn't go unnoticed, especially by certain pokemon. Aurorus, Lampent, Lester and Metagross. Especially Lampent that was caught by the camera dripping wax from the mouth (and not only).  She dried immediately assuming that nothing happened, *but her heart still bumped for that smartass alien jerk*. Cursed that weak reaction of her: "I'm this pathetic!" Loudly, so everyone listened. Silence then. She covered her face lowering the doom and slowly lighted off putting her embarassed expression in the darkness. This was an huge distraction for Beheeyem that pushed the wrong button forcing Dunsparce to jump in the void. And then Seviper consequentially. "Zut. Emotions, again." Beheeyem deemed the mistake with stride, but he was boiling inside.

**// Vent**

**"I can't afford this. I'm a mind. This is my problem with emotions: they obstacle this mind." Beheeyem shrugged nervously clenching the fists.**

"Ahahahahah! Pro player, eh?" Lester took the occasion to exploit his distraction and led Minun to attack the Venturers from behind "I'm a Pro-Lester instead. Pro-Lester beats Pro gamer aaaall the day. A-ah! Look at this, look at this."

Beheeyem shrugged limiting to take the controller again. "Yes, I'm looking."

Anorith, Aurorus and Inkay vs Metagross and Minun. Anorith attacked Metagross that didn't move at all despite Lester pushed the buttons "I'm looking at your lack of strategy."

"Shut up! By the way." Rotom nervously tickled on the controller, eventually switched character to Minun and the two started a Street Fighter match forcing Minun and Anorith to an hand on hand close combat "This is not fair, he has four arms and I have two only." complained the anomalocaris and, in fact, Minun was in huge advantage being also faster and acrobatic. Lester smugged and had the idea to make Minun do the epic pose "Game Over, ah! Epic Pose." Never cheer before! Beheeyem did a combo on the console: Anorith grabbed the arms of the foe with the pinchers, used Stealth Rock surrounding him with floating rocks and Rapid Spin. In this way the foe was trapped in a deadly spin between those hazards and his lifebar dropped down to critical "Wait, there are life bars, too?!"

"You didn't realize only that. Look also at Metagross's life bar." Metagross life was close to end by that point "I put Aurorus under him."

"But she's an ice type.."

"Not in this distorced world. She breathes fire here."

"Aaargh! They would have a single life only, no, no, no! I can't waste their second life. Go, go, go, away, run!" as the stalling Metagross died Lester panicked and pushed Minun to escape desperately from the hits of the foes "I don't know what to do than run, run, runaway!"

"Good game." Beheeyem concluded.

Minun continued to dodge Anorith going back and forward while Lester crazily pushed buttons until he jumped to safety on a new platform, that had no hazards. "In your dreams, I escaped eventually. EAT THIS." But Lester couldn't move Minun that the platform heeled over and he died. With only one life left for Minun and Metagross, he felt still confident "B-By the way I have still Lampent and Porygon with 4 lives. Yes we can manage."

Bagon: "Ok, Lucario, you're doing it so far. Keep going!"

Lucario: "Don't tell what to do I know it!"

"Ok, calm down. Just you're doing a good play, take it easy and everything will be fine to the end."
Lucario was surprisingly doing good so far maybe because he had been focused only on the challenge. However, he was pretty jumpy and ready to quit at any time: he was now going to the platform on the ceiling, in a crucial step of the level that required a double jump and extreme attention to the incoming hazards. The first attempt using Piplup didn't go well. "Snort, I knew it." He selected Oshawott and the outcome was worst: she splatched slipping down the vertical platform. Gritted teeth, he tried a third time with Ninjask that succeeded with the first jump but was hit by the hazards, he couldn't fly in this world in fact. "Rrrrr.."

"Maybe if you" Bagon tried.

"Shut up!"

"...try a combo." rolled eyes. "Stubborn."

"I do it in my way." Lucario replicated crumpling the controller "Or nothing. Now shut and let me focus." He analyzed the situation considering he had only three pokèmon left while the others had to restart from the beginning of the level. Picked Bagon.
The other member of the bro duo objected "Recur to my ninja turtle skillz, man."

"Shut you and you jump!" Bagon did what ordered "Jump again." Bagon obeyed but was blocked by the spikes popping out, but his life bar resisted thanks to his scaled skin. Lucario pushed the button "Jump, jump, jump dam it!" Bagon failed and fell in the void "I told you to jump before! What*s the problem with you? How much difficult is to do a damn double jump, if only I was in your place! I have always all the weakest players! Unfair."*

"Wow, seriously? Better I don't reply anymore to this big kid." Bagon gave up, sitting "What a jerk.I leave it to you guys."

"As I wasn't enough jumpy." Lucario snarled and eventually selected Squirtle "You're next. Let's see this ninja skills you say: SHOW ME!" "Oh yeah, lucky dog. Press Up+A+Y and pick pop-corns." "I was going to do that already, don't tell me and don't call me Lucky cause I'm UNLUCKY." Lucario pressed the buttons in that order and Squirtle jumped and folded into himself using Hydro Pump with his jets of **fire** that allowed to change direction in mid air. Lucario passed at the analogic control then and arrived finally on the upside down platform with Squirtle. Breathing deeply.

"Maaan, this is so crazy. I can say I'm luckier than **Numel Armstrong** because the moon is nothing compared to this." "Hey, shut up. I need to focus." Lucario proceeded when a new hazard ruined his game: the rolling rocks. "What? No way. Punch." He commanded to Squirtle but the punches of the turtle didn't do anything "Oh-oh. That's hurting my lifebar.."

"It's just  rocks:  raise the punch and destroy them. Punch, punch, punch! See me?"

"Right, I saw it. Gotcha. Auch, ouch, auch."

"Gnnn. How you did you grow those muscles if your punches have the same power of Hoppip?" exasperated, Lucario put the controller down and raised both his punches hitting the air "I destroyed boulders bigger than those when I was a Riolu. Do it! Bah."

"I actually worked out only because it sounded cool and magnetic for the girls, ehm." the other explained while trying again to do what commanded, pointless, he had suddenly the idea to try with kicks "A fire kick from the Hot Water, like, Blaziken, get lost. Banzaaai!aaah!"

"Oshit." Oshawott slapped her front with the scallop and passed it to Bagon that did the same use of it and then passed it to Piplup.

"No. No. No!" Lucario stomped the controller several times then picked it up with the mouth "Thn jst jmp ovr thm."

"Ok, boss, but I think I sprinkled for real this time (see episode 8). Hop!" Squirtle jumped and fell in the void killing himself. It looked like they couldn't move a foot from the floor when they were upside down. Lucario lost it definitely: "RAAAAAR! Enough! I quit, I'll make my wish to the stupid sleeper soon after I'll have DISCHARGED MY FURY."

**// Vent //**

**The comments expressed by the teammates were harsh. Here some.**

**"Thanks Jirachi to have put our "lives" under the control of an anger management issue psychopath ." Oshawott vented with a little of hypochrisia. "Psychario."**

**"Enough of that dude, I tried, sorry, we tried with all our patience but he's hopeless." Bagon crossed arms "I have still to thank him for having destroyed my engineery masterpiece."**

**"Lucario is a sore loser. He doesn't even know how to quit with dignity U.U"**

**"Sigh." Chimecho.**

He bit the controller with violence and chew it denting all the buttons, then tossed it away and jumped over it with both the feet stomping, still not satisfied kicked it up with the calf and clenched it in one fist charging the other for the final punch. When all of sudden the controller became Chimecho "Urgh." He looked at it shrinking the pupils in disbelief, turned to the real Chimecho that was attending for her turn "*Are you...?*"

Utter silence in his head and aura. H-He was trembling, his fist was ready for the hit but his heart wasn't. "B-tump.

B-tump.

Anf, pant...auff. *Not again.*

*Not again.*

*I can't let my rage hurt her anymore.*"

He redirected the punch against his same chest stopping the heart. "I changed idea."

Lucario continued the game like nothing happened, valueing the situation: Chimecho was the only one with full lives left while the others had to start from the beginning with two lives. The first thing he wanted to do was to bring them back to the part where he had arrived before. Beheeyem wanted a different plan: Chimecho was an easy target now. He led Anorith supereffective against her and Aurorus, Lucario was immediately forced to press on Protect.

Anorith's attacks were bounced by the shield and the same attacker was damaged but that was a decoy. . . Chimecho's life was slowly slowly dropping because of Aurorus remained stuck inside the protection with her! Lucario realized  that when it was too late "Why you didn't alert me? Scream! Send mind messages or other psychic damnation! Speak to me, Chimecho, in some way or another." Broke the shield but Chimecho was already burned and utterly unharmed in front of the foe Anorith! "Oh no!" Panic.

**// Vent //**

**"Oh no? I should say that because Beheeyem is forcing me to kill the love interest of LUCARIO." Anorith rattled and his armour plated body creaked all over "Last time he was almost killing me for a rock."**

"Please, I don't want to do this.." Anorith moaned clenching Chimecho under the directives of Beheeyem, the alien was stone cold at the controller "You scumBEM will pay this! In game." Lucario selected all the teammates at contemporary and directed them to the assault, ignoring the hazards on the path, Beheeyem smirked, then deselected Anorith and selected Inkay.

"Ynallif. I mean finally! Tired to stay act...idle. Whatever." shrugged at contrary. She had been placed on the platform immediately before. Lucario ignored her and made the Jigglers one by one get on the platform, when Beheeyem pressed the button and used Inkay's Contrary at contrary. The squid attached to the floor and heeled over the entire platform in front of an astonished Lucario: the trap was set-up. Lucario could only watch his teammates fall down and loose another life, speechless.

"Wow! At contrary is..the same. I have the best special power here and I didn't know." Inkay boasted "Everybody is warned: you pitch black with the squid."

"More like you're gonna get splatooned when we'll get you, naaam." Squirtle promised, then whispered to Oshawott and Bagon "It's the contrary of maaan. Did I say it correctly, right?"

Lucario had fallen in the trap, and what angered him the most was that it wasn't his fault only this time but Chimecho, Chimecho! In the meanwhile Beheeyem continued his play leaving Chimecho "Free..to get verbally destroyed."  Then he used Inkay to switch the heeled over platform allowing the Venturers to walk along it normally.

**// Vent //**

**"A lesson of how a little of knowledge makes even useless beings like Inkay useful." Beheeyem.**

"This would have never happened if wasn't for you! This is all your fault! You know?" Beheeyem's prediction was fulfilled as Lucario dropped the controller again. "I'm overreacting so GO AWAY. For your sake. I don't want to see you in the face further! Or I could...I would...cr..crunch you, something. Anyway out of my way and sight!"

"She can't do it herself, she's under your control, psycho. Remember?" Oshawott called him back to consciousness.

"Ah." Lucario picked up the controller and selected Chimecho. Feeling suddenly weak in the muscles, the arms, and the fingers. His paw was heavy to move and light at pushing buttons at the same time. He moved her but didn't know where. SLAPPED HIMSELF. Didn't change anything.

"it's so frustrating to stand here to stare." lamented Oshawott. "Lucky, could you at least move me a little more" Squirtle instead asked pointing at her with a subtle smile "near?"

"Shut up.. uhm." Lucario moved the analogic commands that made Chimecho taking her tail and stroke it in the scorched part for her relief  "Grunt, wrong button.Told you to shut and let me focus! I did a mistake." He activated her Protect "I wanted to do this. Finally. Okay, sgrunt, for the last time if I fail again I quit."

The Jigglers jumped platform to platform reaching Chimecho and she englobed them in her protection. Holding strong the control Lucario managed to jump the diagonal platform and reached the ceiling. Here he drove them over the obstacles and the same Venturers, that had been stopped by their player for some reasons. "Yuhuuh! We are in the lead." The effect of Protect finished and then they moved singularly to the end of the level. Then Chimecho felt her own hand on the cheek, that was Lucario's way to say: you are wonderful. "Gasp. I am?" And that cheek blushed all of sudden.

**// Vent //**

**"This situation is really getting on my nerves." Lester looked really serious "I'm the quirky, I'm the one vowed to shine in the oddities of this challenge, if they think to keep steal me the spotlight, I declare war."**

"Oha. For the thousands of millions of years on my back." Anorith was flattened on the ground after their passage with his lifebar halved, Aurorus had fallen in the void and Inkay remained splatched like a jelly of squid. "This is it. Now I want an explanation, alien." the other shrugged "No, you don't limit to a shrug. Seviper, you don't say anything?" Seviper wanted but couldn't open her mouth as she was stuffing something inside it. She didn't look the same Seviper. "Okay."

Beheeyem even paused the game for some minutes using the Trick Room. "Joysticks are uncomfy for my fingers, having to deal with your primitive technology is tiring for me. In addition, assuming you could have maybe understood that on your own in an alternative dimension at least, you are able to move without me since I distorced the distorsion. Be right back. *This would be the perfect occasion to talk to Dunsparce*."

Message received. Aurorus nodded and jumped on Dunsparce while he moved away from the scenery.

"Why I keep caring for this team alone." Anorith pondered when a Poison Blade dropped in front of him "What the Helix?"

"Mmmmhp....mmmmh...mmgggrr."

"Ah, there's a problem with the egg. Show me. Open the mouth." Anorith put the claw inside and tapped the egg a little checking if it was all fine when he felt a little thingy move frenetically, tapping against his claw, then another one slipped over his arm and he snapped it immediately after the snake jolted in pain "That'sssss my tounge!"

"Alright. But I need to hold it if you want I check properly the situation." he was laughing inside but outside stayed serious "I felt something odd moving...oooh...this is a little tail. It's whipping of life!" his goggly eyes sparkled "It's whipping my sssstomach and nervesss! Stop it right now. I'm tempted to use **Crunch**."

"You're very very insensive. Anyway, this means that the baby is growing up and is full of primal energies that needs to discharge running around and playing." Anorith clenched gently the small tail and pushed the egg down the throat again. Seviper felt the egg rolling down the curves of her spires and snapped "I am not an amusement  park for eggs! Find an alternative or I swear I will swallow down you next. You said I can't digest you, afterall."

"Ahem. Otherwise just keep him in hibernation, asleep. Simple. Klack."

"Ssso how?"

"I'll turn you into a rattlesnake." Anorith wrapped a couple of poke balls around her blade "I use them to keep the fossilized macarones stored in my pocket, try a shake and sing a lullaby."

"Rattlesnake? What I am, Ekans? I eat you alive!" the egg pokèmon rolled over her organs "I surrend!" She whipped her tail playing the rattles until the egg stopped. Relieved but furious, gave a killer advise at the anomalocaris "This is escalating too far, Anorith."

"You're welcome. You would make the perfect mother one day, Seviper."

Aurorus was finally alone with Dunsparce. She felt strangely shy at him, yet she was determined. Mixed emotions combined with their unusual size difference did this effect. Slipped down the back to the ground and was immediately overwhelmed by the shadow of the snake elonging over her. Was it the same point of view of Dunsparce? That made her feel uncomfortable and weak. "Dunsparce, it's me." she claimed akwardly his attention.

The land snake didn't pay at first, and sat at the edge of the platform staring at the void. Then "Whoever are you, leave me alone."

Exactly the words Aurorus expected but the cold tone was utterly unexpected. She never thought it could be this cold to astonish an ice type like her, but this happened, and she needed a different approach. Aurorus had to think carefully on the right words. "You're never alone. I guess this is because of Lunatone or the remind of him."

Dunsparce sighed deeply but refused to turn and watch her face. His reply was  "Why all you can think, I mean all of you, is only Lunatone? He opened me eyes, twice. Just did that. Stop thinking that Lunatone is my only problem, he's the opposite as you are the problem." frozen solid.

"Tropius was a problem?" Aurorus retailed back feeling her coldness again, Dunsparce stuttered and shivered "I was a problem? My egg was a problem?" she ran in front his face so she could see him in the eyes "Look at me once for all: who was the problem from the beginning?"

"S-Stop here!"

Maybe she had gone too far. "We tried to help and support you, and that was the problem for you? Answer me. What did I do wrong to you that Seviper didn't worse?" However, didn't care. She had started to dig down the heart of Dunsparce and could not stop until to discover the skeleton at the risk to leave an hole forever.

"I said I didn't want to talk with you anymore, you hurt me again." he cried  "Sylveon was a problem!"

Aurorus stopped in front of his tears. *Sylveon*...

"Sylveon was my problem with you, Sylveon was a problem for you! You eliminated and, not enough, slandered her memory. I loved her." he had never been this angry and aggressive before, Aurorus didn't want to look in his face further.

"You voted Sylveon as well. You fell in love with her only after you realized the ungrateful bastard you have been." Aurorus was trembling for the disgust "This is the truth of all. I lied, I admit, but I couldn't do anything else since I was desperate, you betrayed her, me, and forced me to betray Tropius only  because you wanted to hide yourself from the reality." Aurorus let out a long breath "The reality you tried to change with Lunatone and failed, then with Seviper and still failed: you're less than a snake."

The land snake sneezed and replied with broken voice "And you're even more less since you tried to exploit my despair so I could give you the informations you wanted. Lunatone was right."

"How did you know?" Aurorus thought at open voice realizing her mistake soon after, then decide to tell it all  "Blame yourself for this, you pushed me this far. I trust you and you sold out my secret to her. But you know what? I'm not here to make friends, I never joined with this purpose and I'll stomp anyone to protect my future. You didn't betray a friend, Dunsparce, neither a girflriend. You betrayed a mother." She looked in hatre into his eyes "A young mother already betrayed by the father of her offspring long time ago. End of the period."

Aurorus walked away until she heard Beheeyem slow clapping in her head "Perfectly executed. You did exactly what I suggested. Kudos."

"Spare me." Aurorus snapped "I couldn't hold myself! All this pain for Sylveon, the same Sylveon he treated in annoyance the whole time. The more I think about, I want to scream."

"So emotions again. Always emotions, useless emotions. You didn't obtain aything. About his past and Seviper's..."

"I have all the informations yet I can't see them useful. How knowing the life of Seviper would help me get my egg back? It's inside her belly not her head. This is the point of the matter!"

"You still don't understand, then."

"Yes, I don't. Enlighten me with your supreme cleverness."

The alien ceased the communications.

"I knew it."

Beheeyem appeared in front of her all of sudden "I did it already. But I'll do it again: **just take Seviper back**. This is the last time." and teleported away.

"Stake Seviper back. Okay. How..."

"Leviathans, I'm utterly absolutely certain I can deal with this situation! No more stress, no more cuss." Lester was at his third attempt with the odd Metagross-Minun and seemed this was the good one. He guided the two through the first half of the level in (relative) tranquillity. Until they arrived at the vertical step for the upside down half. Lester needed a little of warming before to begin in his quirky manners: push ups with the analogic L3 R3, flexes over the central pad, arm lifting of the joystick, and an exercise of step on the buttons. At the end, one final warming run while being inside the console."Lest go. Anf, pant. Lest go. Auff. I'm readyyy!"

Lester focused back on the game and ordered to Minun to do his acrobatic double flip... "But this time land with the head and not with the feet! Therefore upside down." In this way it was Metagross that landed on his feet on the platform, and stayed attached much for the hysteria of the pokèdex poltergeist. "Ah ah ah! \*FINALLY\*" Metagross moved in that fashion carrying Minun like a magnet, dodged or destroyed the rolling hazards "I'm a genius of quirky situations, I'm the master of them, you (Lucario & Beheeyem) can try as much you want but you'll never be at my level, ah!" Lester gloated feeling back to the apex of his glory, and satisfied to control the MetaMinun combo once for all.

Then they met with Porygon 2 near the end of the level. "This is not quirky enough, I.M.O."

"Eh?" Lester blink blinked.

"The quirkness in this was already settled up on his own, you didn't add anything to the equation. Just limited to understand and follow it." Porygon 2 exposed his logic quirk and Lester overheated for the envy "No offense, my quirky F.R.I.E.N.D, I expected a lot more t.b.f. You could have Magnet Rise the magnet and use Gravity at opposite of the opposite to make for a less platitudinous solution."

"P-platitudinous me? Never ever. YOU'RE DOOMED NOW." Lester was about to attack him with Metagross when Porygon 2 applied in practice using both Magnet Rise and Gravity on his companions with a satisfied smile "Here. Much better ^-^" Minun lost his magnetic hold and Metagross his upside down gravity force in result. "They're wasted. It was the last life of them! Gnnn..Porygon..."

**// Vent //**

"*Porygon 2, the Cybernetic **Version of Swellow**.  For the purposes of planetary **doom**, Porygon was updated with the most cutting-edge technology available*.  *AI has been installed in it **like Windows 10 and it's worse than ever**. It learns various things all on its own, but it even remembers things it doesn't need to know and **pretend to do things it doesn't take to*** ***like emulate the epicness of a famous shiny Rotom***."

Lester was having a taste of his own medicine and it had a sour flavor in his mouth "This is why true quirkness is for professionals only. I always think at all the possibilities before to come up with an idea like this and I had excluded for sure the idea made by Porygon 2, that rookie! He thinks he can be better than the master out of nowhere, pop with a quirk and this is the result. He doomed me alone with Lampent." Soon after "By the way, YES YES YES, I can manage!"

"I'm away from keyboard for a bit. Later!" Porygon 2 dashed from there and explored the surround. The Distorsion World fascinated him like the space and it was made of the same substance in fact. "100% Antimatter. Wait, I'm still not thinking out of code. What would be Lester's reaction at this? No, I mean, what would be my reaction if I were a normal pokèmon? I am not that yet. What I miss? I acted randomly and proudly like Lester, caused mess, roamed aimlessly around just for the fun of it, and I felt kind of happy. Still missing something in terms of emotions, but I can't figure what it is. Oh? I detect some presences."

"Alright, I can be grateful of this little walk, for now. It was odd to skip all these floating platforms but I liked it at the end of the line. It was funny like the Moon. Let's sit here." Shaymin invited Jirachi to seat next to her at the verge of the platform. "Here, under the shadow of the spiky trees. Would you pick a flower for me? I'd like a close peek to the nature of this world and I love flowers." Jirachi stayed "Ehhh...I could wish one but they're non existing to be real. It's too complicated, yawn." Porygon 2 spied their conversations like a satellite. Shaymin refrained "I don't like you wish it, I want you pick it with your own hands for me. There's an huge difference!"

"But I'm tired..."

"So you hate me, I got it." she began to cry and her tears watered the ground creating more spiky vines that popped around her. "I thought..sniff..I thought...sob."

Jirachi resigned "Fine. Dooooom." Climbed with the help of his star ribbons without getting hurt thanks to be half steel type, picked the flower at the top and returned it to her "Done. How is it?"

"Aww, it's marvelous. The petals are anything I ever seen before, they're covered in thorns, metallic and so soft at the same time, they're really out of this world. Thank you, Shaymin is grateful for this gift!" She hugged him tightly like a pillow, rubbing her face on his chest. Jirachi blushed slightly, closed the eyes, and hugged her more.

"Why they're warming each others if the temperature is temperate?" the polygon tried to get with a logic explanation "Maybe being a grass type makes her sensible to every type of stream or she lost balance and held on him to not fall in the void. Or she fell because of him...before him...for him. She fell for him." Porygon 2 scanned into his memory data "Lampent also *fell* for Beheeyem..Lucario also *fell* for Chimecho...all this falling is love! This is the fall in love thingy! This is the missing emotion. B>ip!  I finally found it."

"I could stay in this way forever." Shaymin kept her eyes closed to enjoy the moment the most she could, Jirachi was squeezing her in that cuddle as she felt his warm breath on her body. He was using her like a pillow because he was sleeping! "You're my love, pillow..."

"Yes, I'm your love pillow... W-Wait, what?"

"I love you, pillow. Mmmh." the wishmaker smooched her with passion in the middle of the nap.

"Jirachi, you're sleeping!"

"Duh, where's the new? That's what I do alw-" he was awoken by a slap. "I-I just closed eyes for a second! I warned you,"

"How dared you. Pfui. Treat me like a pillow. Farewell."

"Don, wait, Shaymin..." Jirachi pulled her "What do you want now? I'm done with you." "Duuuh, right, but let me apology with...." he massaged his slapped cheek pondering.

"With?"

"Em...a wish. A free wish."

"Shaymin accepts your pity gift." she covered a smile "I wish for a romantic dinner."

"A restaurant In the Distorsion World?"

"So?"

"Done." Jirachi lied  "Follow me."

"Ok!"

### LEVEL TWO

Things were not going well for the Jirachi Jigglers, once again. The new level was harder than the previous. The level was made of platforms covered in ice that forced the players to skid and steer quickest possible if they wanted to not fall down either because of the crumpling floor, or the cliff, or not get wasted by the hazards. There were also some mortal rings of rocks between the platforms. Tt seemed impossible to achieve despite the strong will of Lucario. Piplup was wasted immediately and that was her last life, then came Squirtle whom Lucario ordered to melt the ice but discovered that there any floor under it, and with Bagon's last attempt their number had reduced to 3 characters.

With only 5 lives left overall, Lucario  strove to stay calm and, as the philosophy of Ninjask had taught him, focused only on the target- In reality, he was doing it only for Chimecho by this point. "This is turning into a massacre, do something else." But Oshawott was jumping on his nerves with her complaints. "Urgh, I'm thinking!"

"Oshawott, shh." Chimecho intervened. "Leave him meditate."

"Ehm, okay."

"Chimecho, I pick you. Do you think you can wrap around one of those spiky trees?" Lucario found the inner focus for an attempt, an idea he eventually came with, Chimecho nodded "Yes. I'm quite quick." Lucario handled the controller with confidence "Then go." Chimecho skidded on the ice platform using her sinuous shape to slalom through the obstacles and used Wrap in time  to stop her course. "Okay! Ftftfhank you. Almost. Ahem! Stay there ready. Oshaw..nah, Ninjask." Lucario switched at the control of Ninjask. Oshawott rolled eyes but didn't say anything. Ninjask knew what to do: he used the schytes to skate over the platform completing the slalom part with handliness and reached the same spot of Chimecho. Lucario immediately called her back "Raise your arms and stretch the most you can! I trust in you."

Chimecho caught Ninjask successfully. "I have done." Lucario got at her commands again once he was certain to have the next platform in the aim "Loosen." Chimecho unwrapped, jumped on the ramp with Ninjask and the two landed together on the next platform. They slipped immediately as they touched the floor but Lucario used Ninjask's ability to decelerate allowing Chimecho to wrap another tree to do the u-turn. Then loosened the grip again and Ninjask skated to another platform that was a see-saw "Uh! Braaake." Lucario pushed repetitively the deceleration button but it wasn't enough with that ice and inclination "Hold on!" Chimecho laced them right in time.

"Urgh." Lucario bit lips striving to gain back the control. And then? Chimecho would have not resisted forever, he couldn't lose the last life of Ninjask in this way. "I'm stuck."

"I exist, too!"

"Bah" Lucario skipped on Oshawott "I can find a solution, just shut up." while Chimecho struggled there. "Damn. I don't know what to do."

"A third pokèmon could balance the situation..."

"Grrr, agree. How do you think to arrive at that point without die before? If you're..." Lucario selected Oshawott and made her move immediately slipping and faceplanting. "THIS KLUTZ."

"YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE! Stay calm, Oshy... This doesn't mean anything actually." Oshawott stood up like nothing happened "I have alternative sources. Like this." picked her scallop "That has many creative uses." knotted it under a foot "Also to move on ice." and lodged the blading shell in the ice floor, raising the other leg in the air "Ta-dah! I can dance on the ice. Test me." The other grimaced but resigned to use Oshawott. "Bah, let's go. You better don't screw all!"

"Give me trust. Oshawooom!" Oshawott took a short run-up and skated on one leg among the ice, exceeding the first slalom with a bit of difficulty, jumped the ramp and lost balance after the landing but for few seconds only "I'm ok." She started to feel a certain pain to the ankle due to the wearing effort it required, but didn't want to give rights to Lucario and promptly proceeded. The u-turn was the next maneuver and Lucario dropped the controller "Without the help of Chimecho here it's game over for sure. This is useless." Oshawott felt discouraged but refused to give up, remembering the lesson received from Ninjask stayed focus on the target and tried an idea: wrapping to the tree with her tail! It worked incredibly. Oshawott was super happy and proud of herself when she arrived at the see-saw, but didn't solve anything. On the contrary, the platform tilted even more on the side of Chimecho and Ninjask. Oshawott and Lucario reacted with the same frustration "This makes no sense! Thump." The wotter couldn't stand anymore on the leg and fell on the floor exhausted "I ran out of gas."

"Sgrunt, Chimecho use Heal Wave."

"Aaaaah, I feel even worse." her life bar was halved.

Chimecho was utterly scorned "My heal powers are the contrary. Everyone, I'm sorry."

Lucario let out a scream of frustration that bested Giratina's.

"I'm sorry, Lucario..."

"You did enough. I'm blaming myself now.  Really. I need a pause."

"Take all the time you need to recollect yourself. I will wait." Chimecho tightened her hold on Ninjask.

"Are you sure? Damn. What did I do wrong this time..."

Suddenly, some boulders fell out of nowhere. "What the hell?" They all missed the players, luckily. "Who has the responsibility?" Beheeyem led his team with a satisfied smirk on the face "I knew it: the boulders made a pattern. It was easy to predict that was going to be a classic example of Ice Path themed level."

"Ah, it was you."

"It's simple like an human game, now." Beheeyem ignored Lucario from the beginning "All I have to do is find and follow the pattern of the course. It took the necessary time to let the Jigglers waste lives away."

Lucario lowered down the head hearing that. Exploited by Beheeyem, again, he couldn't accept this humiliation. Furthermore, Beheeyem put the load 90: "Don't worry, I know you don't want to be thanked. I won't say thank you."

"Then shut up because he doesn't need your thanks!" Chimecho had enough of that smug behaviour  "And you're not worthy to thank him."

"Yes, whatever." the alien limited to continue his play arriving at the see-saw "This is at contrary, of course. Dunsparce, clear the way since you're **the heaviest**." Dunsparce jumped on the half of the see-saw where Oshawott was and subsequentially it lifted more while the opposite side reached the max low.  "At contrary!? Grr, I should have. Oh, no, Chimecho and Ninjask, where are?"

"Sacrificed in the process." explained Beheeyem.

"Noo! You'll pay this."

"You have still two lives for Chimecho and one for Oshawott, however. It would be a mistake to focus on me instead on them." the rest of the Venturers joined Dunsparce on the see-saw / , then Beheeyem used Inkay to switch the sides \ and in this way they could reach the next platform and continue. Lucario never felt this humiliated before.

"Beheeyem's cold calculations are overwhelming." Aurorus commented in the confessional, pondering deeply.

Still stuck on level one, Lester had pondered all the time on the right approach, took a long breath and "Oookay, Lampent! This is the beginning of a magnificent single player adventure together. (I hope.) Are you ready for an epic quest of quirky dimensions? This will be the most important voyage of our lives, it will cementify our friendship for the eternity!" "Or my hate." "Ah, ah, ah! Whether you prefer, we'll discover only at the end, ah! Lets start." Theye were remained alone in the darkness of the Distorsion World, that should have helped Lampent to feel more confident and collaborative. She had turned in a lava lamp in result of the distorsion becoming a water/ice type, something quirky enough for Lester to work on, if she collaborated to his plans. "Why I should feel the will to do something for you, in first instance. Find an excuse."

"Ehm, not for friendship for sure I guess, so, maybe, for the glory? Nonono. What I'm saying. The real reason is I don't want to get to the nominations! They're waiting me at the corner, Metagross, Minun, Ditto... I can't let them rid of me this soon, and never by the way." Lester was in the middle of one of his typical panic attack when his mouth turned into a neverending motor and his electricity burned braincells like electrones "There are manies here that don't care for the reality for real, I am not like them. This is already my afterlife! It's too funny, too quirky, too exciting, full of sudden changes, hits of scenes, never time for boring, I refuse to renounce it until the end!! Also, I made a promise for Drifloon, Plusle, and everyone else that wanted to enjoy this opportunity like me and, instead, was eliminated BECAUSE OF METAGROSS." Lester repeated it several times in loop "Metagross, Ditto, Metagross, Ditto, Metagross, Ditto. METAGROSS, DITTO. They destroyed the Leviathans. This is a lesson of life: there's always a cancer in every happy context at the end." This sentence was particularly listened by Lampent, that nodded. "I loved my team from the beginning, I would have wanted to bring it entirely with me through the competition and I won every single challenge but then Metagross managed to ruin everything. I'm trying to stay still positive and crazy like nothing happening but it's becoming impossible. You asked me an excuse, I can't think anything. I can't even know how to do this challenge. Sorry, Leviathans, I'm a terrible leader afterall."

"You are indeed...crazy. You're talking like everyone is still here for example." the lava ghost lamp shrugged and crossed arms thoughtfully "You spent an entire episode away to find a diary for another example. *My diary*."

"I also did other investigations for Drifloon again and a client." the poltergeist added "By the way."

"And fix it from splinters." Lampent added on her own. Then returned to her thoughts. "I ask, why you did that."

"I felt remorseful. Argh! I mean.."

"Out of compassion?"

"I didn't feel proud of myself for the first time! It was an awful strange (if it was good I would have said quirky by the way) sensation to realize I made you suffer. I don't know, when Jirachi revealed me your past I felt sad and excited at the same time, and then the exciting part disappeared as you appeared. Like all of sudden I felt your pain like mine. Can I be utterly honest with you?"

"Sure, continue. It was a pathetic depressive sensation, I guess."

"I felt really sorry for you." Lester blushed in shame "I felt really guilty with you. I usually, ehm, don't care how people feel out of my exhibitions of whiz and quirkness.  This time for the first time ever I cared for something else: your story, Lampent!" closed eyes unable to restrain himself anymore from crying out everything  "That's why I wanted so much that you get back that diary, your story was too important to be dismissed in that way! It was the only way I found relief from that awful sensation...I thought, until I made you cry again. And now, I'm forced to use you. I don't want really." Dropped the controller and broke the 4th wall sphere coming next to her. "I made you suffer enough with my reckless detective insanity."

"You read my diary, cut it in splinters through the fan, burned it, and then brought me back to my past, I can confirm all. As I confirm that I don't want to discover anything about the mystery behind it, I just want to forget it forever." Lampent closed the eyes "But this will never happen, actually." Opened them again "I appreciate your trial. You're the first to do that. Everyone always looked at me and pretended to make me happy instead to know why I was unhappy. Like they wanted to cover everything under as it wasn't worhty of memory. They cared only for my happiness, no matter if I was sad. My sadness has been always ignored and deemed as invisible even if they knew the reason of it. I had to be happy the same!"

"Ohh, this seems my opposite. Quirky! I mean, how to explain, I have always skived any source of sadness ignoring mine as well, keep up grinning."

"I had noticed that. I said from the beginning that we have nothing in common." smiled confidentially "I wasn't right. We have in common that we have nothing in common, sounds a little convoluted but that's it." The lamp reached out the lightning of Rotom who immediately alarmed "B-By the way I'm taken already. By the way...I agree, it's a quirky coincidence."

Then "Wait a minute? How do you move without my remote control?"

"Your controller is broken."

"Porygon 2."

"So, how about go back to the game?" purposed.

"Do you want to play with me really?" his eyes glimmered.

"On the contrary I won't have a second opportunity to die four times more." was her macabre joke. Lester laughed at the end "Seriously, this is the reason. Also I'd like to meet Giratina."

"Alright, Giratina is the mother lord of all we ghost types! I can't wait to defeat him. By the way if my jostick doesn't work anymore how we play?"

"Where's the Lester I know and hated all this time? You can take possession of the joystick and mimic to control me." winked wickedly.

// Vent //

"Wow, I'm utterly astounded." Shiny Rotom was astonished "I'm seeing her under a different light: literally. It may be the blue lava lamp form. By the way I'm really happy we made peace! I finally managed to make her happy, true happiness, and I don't even know how exactly! Wow, I hope this is not only a giant dream. Gaaaasp! I-Imagine if I awake now and I discover I'm still in the trap of Jirachi. This is a quirk that doesn't take, eh."

Lampent and Lester reached the second level. Again, they seemed to be the only ones. "Looks like we're the last again. I see that the new level hazard is... an ice course, amazing! But we have to endeavour.So, this is like the famous Ice Path game, they seem to have settled everything already, auff. I'm forced to recur to the platitudinous traditional system. Therefore, just slip and stop following the direction of the boulders." Lester lost the eagerness. Lampent didn't believe the pain free (ita: non era dello stesso avviso) ; in fact, struggled to move straight because her body was unbalanced, wobbled to one side to another, and drifted continuosly without control. "Golly. I'm going to the" void.

"Ah! So there's some difficul left to be solved, and can be solved only by me."Lester gained back his eagerness meanwhile Lampent spawned to the beginning of the level. "Aghostina, ahem, I mean Lampy, ehm, Lampent, don't worry. I will find the key of the matter, or better, ANTIMATTER, AHA AHA AHA."
"I ain't reply anything about."
"I have to analyze the shapes of you." Lexdèx opened his photocamera and did a global scansion of her "The lower part of your curvy body resembles a pin with two majestic curly arms attached on the sides that are too heavy and the reason why you dance like a Baltoy. By the way your flame turned red all of sudden: getting shiny?" Lampent wiped the blush off her glassy face "Meanwhile the upper part of the body is a bulb surrounded by a doom pointed like an umbrella at the edge. I love these details that make you so unique."

She stuttered "A by the way should come now, right now. Like immediately."

"....By the way! I was waiting for the idea to come and it came eventually. I want see you at contrary!"

"I'm already I thought. Or you mean in this way?" she turned upside down.

"This! Exactly." Lester figured her shape fitting for the cause "It's upsy daisy and you feel dummy, look at me and give me dummy vibes." She seemed to not understand for real but it was oddly entertaining for her. Lester acted as an hysteric director and she was the dumb actress more like than the player and his virtual character "Action! Start. Move like a dummy for Giratina's timina!"

"Therefore you mean spin." Lampent rotated her arm starting to move circularly and moved her circles progressively to the middle of her axis. "Clearly I'm not seeing what I'm doing, where I'm going."

"It doesn't antimatter because, remember? I drive you!"

"Sure, in a distorced universe..."

Lester pose to use the analogues "ordering" that Lampent moved with parabolic curves from a boulder block to another "First ramp on rampage. Now!" Lampent did the jump rotating at max speed like "ordered" then pointed out "Where I land?" Ops, Lester didn't think how to make her land properly: WASTED. "Ops. Lets try again and again."

"We have only 2 agains left, Lester."

"Alright. There's also 4 of Porygon, by the way. A-ah! Simple: you stop spinning when I say you do."

**// Vent //**

**"In the normal world that would be an obvious solution but in a world at contrary not! Right?!? Of course, I'm right." Lester justified himself.**

Lampent jumped the ramp for the second attempt "Stop." stayed in mid air seeing the platform "Now do the snowplow for the brake!" opened her arms wide and put them down skating on the ice for a short trait, until she stopped against a boulder. "Okay, almost perfect landing." She was encouraged by Lester's joke and arrived at the crucial point of the level "How will ever be a see-saw in a world at contrary? I guess the lightest is the heaviest and viceversa. Assuming this theory, I'm waiting your next idea, Lex."

A derpy smile appeared on his face, it was the first time she called him with a nick, but he didn't let this distract him "If you spin you go straight on the ice but the platform could swindle to the opposite side and you would lose terrain for the steepness and fall backward. If you walk normally there's the risk that you get too much height and you swiiiiish fiiiiiiiiiiiii before the see-saw changes again." Lampent kept nodding. "Looks impossible for a single pokèmon to get over it without losing balance. But behind every impossibility there's a lateral solution and a Lester to find it. I am that Lester, ah! Lay on a side and roll." The table lamp squinted eyes then shrugged in sign of trust. Rolled on the side of her doom and pin-shaped body like having two wheels, the see saw moved immediately up then lowered progressively as she went closer to the opposite side, and the opposite side began to escalate, as Lampent reached the edge it was completely switched from the beginning position and her body rolled backward following the gravity force, she rolled less and lesser as the steepness reduced...

"Roll to Inferno!" (ita: la mossa Marchiatura)

...Inferno inverted became an ice move. Lampent corkscrewed inverting her rolling and used the helixes of ice generated around herself to jump directly from the middle of the see-saw and achieved the goal. "Ladies and giratinas, please, make all the Distorsion World full of cheers for Aaaaaghoooostinaaaa!"

"Oh, Lester." she landed plowing upside down, quickly hiding her blush, then followed with the signature shrug. "You're more distorced than this world, you know that."

"Yes, I know."

The ice course finished here, but that wasn't the end of the level. They were at a crossroads.

"Here we are, du-dah!" Jirachi introduced Shaymin to a familiar place "This is the airplane of before, no? Why we came back to the beginning?" but Jirachi assured with a smirk "We're entering in an alternate dimension where the V-Plane is a luxury restaurant made out the original airplane. You'll see what a dream place it has become very soon..."

"Therefore it's a restaurant in theme, oooh." an emergency ladder rolled down to their feet like a red carpet and they were invited by the hostess waiter to come inside. Jirachi opened the sliding doors before her: the indoor didn't fail her expectations. The seats had been adapted to be face to face when the sliding portable tables  opened completely settled with platinum cutleries and a V shaped chandelier "borrowed" from Victini's collection. "Yawn, what do you think?"

"I was utterly amazed before you yawned, then you ruined the whole atmosphere."

Jirachi attempted to apologise but their dialogue was interrupted by Vulpix "Welcome on the new J-Jet Restaurant. What can I serve you? We don't dream food but cook dreams! Menu à la carte." Meanwhile Porygon 2 entered and placed at a table "There's another client? Okay, make your choice as I welcome the other customer." The waiter left with a wide conforting smile and pounced immediately on the table of Porygon 2 "Hi, new customer. What are you doing here if this is an exclusive dinner for two? You made a mistake and maybe wish to leave in time." followed a ferine snarl right on the face of the polygone "Get out my business. Like, now"

Porygon failed to get that friendly advice and guillibly asked "Why? Technically this is not your business but Jirachi's by the way tbf. In addition, if I broke out the orders of Lester none else can hope to get a chance to control me. I stay here until I don't understand what LOVE is E-xactly. I mean exactly."

Vulpix didn't like that answer and jumped over him, whispering "*Joy, listen with your microphone or whatever you have in place of the ears and do it with extreme attention: I'm not going through all of this for nothing and I won't let to a virtual birdbrain to spoil all my hard work in a dinner. Get out my way or I'll throw you in the bin and delete.*" Porygon 2 stayed on his position, tough. "I never let anyone obstaculate me during a mission and learn E-motions is my greatest ever started. You're the equivalent of a glitch for me and I erase glitches."

"Thank me? I'm waiting for my order to be taken by enough time that even in this timeless dimension renders it unacceptable and unthankful. You lied me about this place." Shaymin called her back to job. Vulpix took Porygon 2 aside "You will study all you want about love if you help me with this date. Get their orders, download the recipes and I cook them on fire." Porygon squinted eyes clueless "It's a great opportunity: you can be this close to them that you could automatic download the secrets of love. Come on, here I brought the maitre. Miss Shaymin, Mr. Jirachi, maitre Porygon."

"Ahhh. Thankfully Shaymin is always comprehensive and kind to the mortal pokemons. There."

"Porygon 2 at your service. Plok!" Porygon 2 bowed bending the entire neck, therefore putting the beak in the glass of water. "Waiting for inizialitation...I mean...ordination." Even Jirachi was perplexed "Duhmmm. Why I'm taking part of this exactly? I don't remember." "You don't remember the menu already, Jijì? You should thank that I'll order for you too. We take all! I'm hungry after all that odd walking and skipping like astronauts." "So love is a form of control." Porygon 2 took notes in his database "What are you saying? Have you kept my order in memory? Then we'll just wait for our dinner to be served. Be thankful and speed up, I'm very hungry."

"And obnoxious as f-" Vulpix stirred heading to the kitchen. Porygon reached her immediately affter with the order.

"Meanwhile, Ji, tell me something about your interests." Shaymin purposed while attending "I like to sleep, duh." but Shaymin continued "Of course, I got it. I mean hobbies, like, I love to seed, grow and water flowers over the hills, my favorite flower is called Gracidea that is a symbol of gratitude and gracefulness that I'm incarnation of, and more so about me..." Jirachi fell asleep flooding in that river of words ". . . that you're not interested about. How ungrateful."

"Eh? I was focusing on my answer. Also, sleeping is a passionate hobby I keep care for: I collect pillows of the rarest materials, catalogue all my dreams in an accurate wishlist, and practice gym to find new ways always I can assume a sleep position. It gets incredibly labourious you get really into it." the fallen star pokèmon seemed fond on his hobby more than Shaymin expected and this huge passionate behaviour triggered her curiosity "I would have never imagined that sleep could be an hobby, wow, maybe I should try with you later. Have you ever tried a pillow of leaves?" said with malice making Jirachi embarassed "Never used anyone as a pillow before. Deh." with such an opportunity Porygon 2 collected lot of datas...Shaymin giggled "You're so dreamy when you don't sleep."

Then Porygon 2 served the appetizers.

"Beheeyem, what's the matter? Been half an hour we're stuck in the same level." Anorith complained "Back and forward, back and forward, both the crossroads end in a dead end. One path seems to get us further in the game but it just teleported us up up up and stuck. The other? A waterfall. My congratulations."

"I don't know but I'm open to share knowledge if you have some and better." with a sarcastic caustic tone of the voice. "Wait, even in a distorced dimension you're still Anorith, the ever-age contestant."

"I'm not average at all! And that strange contraption -"Controller" specified Beeheyem- is in your hands and not in my claws. And the blame of the defeat is also in your hands if I remind from the height of my overaged memory."

Neither Seviper or Aurorus tried to stop them, but someone else had "Enough, you're boring me to PARADISE. I want to do something, kill enemies for coincidence: I saw Lucario around. Hi hi hi, got it?" Beheeyem picked Inkay "Then have fun or sadness in your language."

"Again this waterfall lake. This level has driven me crazy! I'm sure to have explored every part but where is the exit?!"

"WHO explored every part of this hell, excuse me? I'm and Chimy. not certainly you, are the ones that are phisically walking, jumping, and dying. We should complaint not you! I'm tired of this place."

The two Jigglers were bickering again ,with Chimecho unable to tame them due to the distorsion of her power, when they were attacked from behind. "Venturers!" Inkay lunged Chimecho first. Lucario couldn't prevent anything and Chimecho was easily eliminated spawning at the beginning of the level. "All to redo again, grr."

"I want to avenge my friend, grr. Quick, fight using me!" Oshawott claimed Lucario's attention that refused "You have only a life. I can only escape, grr." Oshawott was at the corner, behind her only the waterfall "No, I can only fight at this point and if I can't do it directly today, I will through you. Don't disappoint me like your boyfriend!" Finally, Lucario decided to use Oshawott. "Punch. Kick. Punch." Oshawott was not bad, afterall. She delivered to the enemy a good amount of damages that Beheeyem seemed in difficulty with the control of the match.

// Vent //

"That's my girl, meeeeen. She's the number one at punch and kick asses randomly all over. I learned it as we meet."

"Perfect time to finish with my special: Scallop Blade. Press the button."

"I will press that button, too." Beheeyem ordered Inkay to heel-over the platform but Oshawott moved faster and executed her move in a particular way doing a double X. "First time it comes out in this manner but I won!"

"Congratulations." Beheeyem slow clapped their performance "You have to defeat Anorith, Aurorus, Dunsparce and Seviper, and you are done." at contemporary he said that Inkay spawned at the beginning of the level "Oshawott or Chimecho? This is the matter. I guess you didn't think to do me a favor."

"Four on one, this is unfair."

"Shut up, I should have not listened to you!" Lucario switched at the control of Chimecho leaving Oshawott to her destiny. "No, Lucario! You have to consider Oshawott at the moment."

"I consider only you."

The Venturers ganged up surrounding the harmless ott. Beheeyem could only use one at once: picked Seviper. Oshawott moved against her will attacking first again and the snake was bounced back. "Osha? I thought Lucario..." She started to dance frenetically "I-I-I'm officially c-c-confused." She felt a strange force soon after. She moved faster, too. Beheeyem stuggled  to find an explanation and Oshawott hit Seviper in a one shot! Seviper was thus eliminated from the game. Then did the same with Anorith, that was the last pokèmon with full lives left in the game. "Wow, what is happening to me? And who wants to be next?" Oshawott challenged Beheeyem.

"Mmmmh."

"Shouldn't they have two lives left?" Aurorus pondered "I see they have three altough they both died twice."

"3? Ah. They gained an extra life or.."

"Three? Extra life? Grunt, if only I knew before but how was this possible." Lucario checked on the console carefully "And this? It signs Ninjask still. Despite he died before, I saw it with my eyes."

"...someone has glitched. He's playing but we can't see him, interesting phenom. It isn't Oshawott that became stronger but Ninjask that is doing the moves in her place." Beheeyem realized but it was late to think at a counter strategy.

"*Ninjask? Strange I didn't feel anything*." Chimecho reflected in herself.

Lucario clenched the controller in the fist sweating and sneering "I can't see him but I can control him. That's all I need to know. Perfect to get some revenge." But Beheeyem had an emergency move "Dunsparce: Dig." The terrain serpent teleported himself and his companion back to the start of the level. "Aggr, you play as a coward." "Therefore I'm the only with still four characters alive here." "Bah!"

None realized yet that the two Leviathans were there too: they could be seen sneaking in the background. Lester's approach was prudent this time since they were in huge disadvantage. A wrong move and he would have condemned Lampent and game over. He had explored by far the entire level: the only possible exit way could have been the impossible one. "Shhh, shhh. Go  u n d e r w a t e r...sssssh! S s s h h h," gave the indications in whispered slow motion voice "U  n  d  e  r  w  a  t e  r rrr..and.."

"HEY. Look at what they're doing in the lake?" Oshawott pointed all of sudden. "Maybe they found the access to the next level!"

"Lester, rrrr, I spotted you!"

"Busted. Oh-oh. Hurry, Aghy, I'm coming right after!!"

"What's with the waterfall?"

Lampent's shadow disappeared underwater and reappered on the top of the waterfall. "There's nothing to see here, eh ehe eh! Goodbye, rivals." Lester zoomed away with her.

"Of course. Only in a distorced world this could have been the solution and Lester solve it in my place."

Lucario didn't waste time and directed Oshawott under the lake to do the same, but what exactly? He only knew that Lampent had managed to climb but not how. "Jump. Swim. NO? HOW?! Strive more!" -"Anf, splutt, I'm doing what you say at perfection!"- "Then I'm mistaking something. Urgh, there's always a problem or mystery in this twisted place." -"*Focusondetails: whathappenedwhenLampentwentunderwater?*" someone whispered and he stumbled- "Another voice in my head? That was different from yours. Male. What he said? What Lampent did underwater if she didn't swim or tried other ways to ride up the waterfall... at contrary. Diving under  them. I can't believe. This is the way." Oshawott dove at the bottom of the lake and found herself at the top of the waterfall "I was warped in a wormhole! And I see the the end of the level!"

"Finally. I can't wait to kill Giratina after all this."

"Me, too." replied Oshawott with fury.

"Actually, there's something I still want to do here. I'm not over with this level yet." Lucario made a grim smile "Chimecho: use Healing Wish." and pressed the proper button while was underwater.

"I'm the only pokèmon able to go underwater. It's always on my shoulders with this team. Beheeyem, enough thinking, use me. You just need me to win, afterall." Anorith swam in the lake and triggered the Healing Wish that the distorsion twisted in a Doom Desire. A ray of light struck the anomalocaris out of nowhere followed by an underwater explosion that dissipated his second life in an instant KO. "As I expected. This taught you a lesson." the brain pokèmon waggled the finger "Never jump to conclusions. Dunsparce, Surf." He used Dunsparce as a boat for the teammates except Anorith spawned at the begin. "See, Anorith? Now with the magicness of my fingers and the miracle of having an evoluted cortex, both things you don't have, I use Inkay to invert the waterfall and ride it. Don't worry, I know you're stuck there." Suddenly another ray of light struck on the Venturers when Beheeyem changed to Anorith.

**// Vent //**

**"Beheeyem sure didn't see that coming: I made Chimecho make a wish also at the top of the waterfall." Lucario confirmed the theory "Sure it would have turned in a Doom Desire."**

**"And only in the Distorsion World I could have been overwhelmed in shrewdness by a Lucario." Beheeyem admitted bitter cold. "This was in my plans, afterall, just not the same way."**

It killed Inkay, Dunsparce and Aurorus in a single hit. Beheeyem remained with the sole Anorith and the last life overall "A lesson of cleverness, indeed."

### LEVEL THREE

"This is the final level before Giratina."

"I can't wait to finish anymore." Lucario glared challenging Rotom "I will be the winner." with a smirk.

PLAYER B.E.M: LIVES x1

PLAYER LUCARIO: LIVES x3

PLAYER LESTER: LIVES x2

They could control all the characters at the same time from this level on. Lucario started: Chimecho, Oshawott and the glitched pokèmon dodged easily the spiky hazards, following jumped on a series of skipping platforms. Lester trembled and felt his certainties flushing down...the wash. He was shaking too much to keep the controller so Lampent moved on her own but stuttering to deceive any suspects. "Ahem, not that I care for but you would drive me better with rumble off. \*Shrug\*."

"Ahahah! Okay! Right. A-Afterall antimatter is a quirky matter, just not my favorite matter."

"Which are your favorites matters, then?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter now!" Lester blushed akwardly in panic "By the way.." With Lester do not trembling anymore Lampent could play her game in tranquillity. She was actually excited somewhat by all the situation: maybe because she was going to meet the infamous lord of cemeteries Giratina, or because she was feeling really involved for the first time. The lava lamp followed the same performance of the rivalries until

a shadow slithered behind her and everyone, the whole world was shaken by an earth quake: the platforms of the former levels collapsed against them along with Anorith and Beheeyem, quick reflexes of Lucario saved his teammates for now. HE was there, the reject from Arceus "GIRATINA." Merged the spider arms and pierced directly Beheeyem and Lampent.

"Urgh, he can kill the player, too? Unfair." Lucario said hastily.

"By the way one life left." murmured Lester with shrunk pupils and an hysterical distorced laugh soon after. "O-oNE.AHAHAAHAHAHAH!"

"SCREW THE RULES, MORTAL SONS OF ARCEUS. YOU ARE DOOMED IN MY KINGDOM. GYOAHHHH!" Giratina faded dragging the body of Beeheyem to the shadow "Screw the rules? Then I'm not over yet!" but, before that, Anorith attached to his head and thus disappeared with him.

// Vent //

"That pesky fossil bug sure has rockballs." Lucario crossed arms thoughtful. "I still remember when he dared to take a rock from ME."

Then Giratina scrambled most of the platforms from horizontal to vertical position and created a new hazard for the gamers: the spikes merged horizontally from the sides lasers alike. "Oh sHELL." The monster merged again far behind, getting at the pursuit of the contestants who immediately understood that meant the begin of the end. "Lester, Continue? Insert the coin -10, -9, 8.." Lampent tried an encouragement in the funniest way she could think suitable for him under pressure "-3, 2, 1..."

"Ka-chink!"

"Perfect, continue."

All they had to do was run to survive as everything get destroyed at the passage of Giratina. More falling pieces of platforms to dodge while running, they jumped and slalomed through the web of spikes, stop as a platform turned upside down and pass by relentlessly. Lucario and Lester were also potential targets and had to run with them. They managed to stay away from Giratina so far but the legendary suddenly impaled the ground with the six streamers at contemporary and the streamers merged in front of them! Lucario steered the joystick so hard that partially broke but Chimecho was hit the same "No, Chimechooo!" He could do nothing than assist to her virtual death, shocked.

"Gaaaasp! What a dramatic spannung here, whoever wrote this plot today is a genius! Munch, crunch." Rotom Oven ,similarly shocked, watched eating pop-corns. He choked them down as Lucario turned. Quick the recall from Lampent "What if it's better to drop the popcorn and take back the controller, mh?" Lester replied with an akward grin.

"R-RAAAAARGH!"

"No, Mega Lucario, DON'T BREAK THE CONTROLLER." Oshawott tried her best "Think at the sacrifice of Chimecho!" No time to ruse that Giratina's next attack focused directly on him and Rotom "Not this time, this space, this dimension!" blocked the streamers from taking his ruined joystick, Giratina promptly folded them back without damages. Lester phewed after having barely dodged the attack. Meanwhile this attack happened, they had not moved any further their characters and Giratina was coming to them; opened the mouth and launched a Dragon Pulsar: it trapassed Ninjask but the life bar seemed unaffected, Lampent dodged it moving like a dummy and Oshawott used her scallop to deflect it back. Giratina wasn't prepared for this and was struck by his own beam, supereffective. He let out a terrible screech of revenge. "Holy...HOLY SHELL. Oh thank you my shell, smuack smuack."

They arrived at the end, everything stopped to move, where emptiness and silence reigned. "We did it right? Or this is another trap? ................"

Silence   "....................."

"G.........O........"

Game Over. A giant script soon appeared on the screen. It soon twisted to the point that only the initials remained "G.....O.....Giratina Origin." A wormhole formed inside the O from whih Giratina striked back.

"WELCOME AT THE END OF THE EXISTENCE, FOREVER. GAME OVER."

Jirachi and Shaymin had finished their dinner, payed and left the restaurant. Jirachi led the way. Porygon 2 stalked them eluding the eyes of Vulpix busy at washin' up and dry. "Update: Jirachi's behaviour has manifested a drastic change beyond any statistic. His psychological parametres are completely renewed: his passive demeanour changed mysteriously during the dinner. I still don't understand if this is love or not but I'm on exploration, my mission!"

Shaymin was experiencing the same of Porygon 2, afterall. "Jirachi, where are we going now? I'm grateful for the company but the date can be considered ended with the dinner. You are not forced to stay awake furthermore." Jirachi nodded and shrugged "I do. But I'm sleepless as of now. I want to show you the place where my eyes are never closed because they see only dreams..." A secret door appeared in front of them, Jirachi written a different letter on each of his wish tickets and attached them forming a star figure: a bright ray of starlight illuminated the figure creating a carve that shaped a keylock, Jirachi opened the third eye and extracted a comet that ended in a key. Unlocked. Shaymin was astonished "How many stars...I have never seen so many stars before. What's this place? We were inside an airplane before and we are yet?"

"Duuuh, slow down. Relax, this is a thinkless place in first instance." he embraced the cheeks of Shaymin calmly "It's my Star Room. Here there is no airplane, no ceiling, no distorsion, just the sky above."

"Oooh. So this is like not using a giant telescope but being in the scope lens? Sort of?"

"Deh, sort of. It's not important."

"Why you brought me, then?"

"I watch the stars regularly alone. I have this secret to keep: the light that come from each star is the energy of a new dream. It's a mysterious energy that can't be touched, used or manipulated but once upon a wish it discloses a dream to become reality. I watch the dreams of every pokèmon when I'm he

   re, yours too of course, and I have access to realize them....if you would deserve. There are fantastic dreams and awful ones but I don't care about, I make people write their wishes still, but it's up to me only to judge. You know, every star has a ***dark matter*** somewhere in ***his*** core." Jirachi realized that he was going too far "I brought you here to gaze at the beautiful stars of the universe and beyond, and to check if they ever illuminate my heart as you did before. Shaymin, they don't." The light of a myriad of stars shone in his eyes out of nowehere, held her paws and whispered to her lips "This is the right moment to close eyes."

Porygon 2 saw only the kiss, unfortunately, the signal was too disturbed to receive their words. His eyes turned red: "Found it. My mission is over."

Unseen, Vulpix was lurking in the shadow... "*Finally all these sacrifices got a purpose*."

"VVelcome back, V-plane!" that voice all of sudden. Vulpix abandoned everything and rushed immediately to her owner like a loyal pet "Vvelcome back to you, too, Vulpix! Don't get me vvrong, but this is not the right moment for cuddles." He said that with an unexpected coldness. "Where's Jirachi? I want to know what happened during my vacancy." Here's where Vulpix frightened, she panically tried to hold him demanding for playing and scuffing but no avail. "The Star Room open? Very unusual from Ji..."

"The fight against Giratina has everything of the boss battle expected for the final level. The high amount of hits required to low down the health bar of the boss, the special combinations of attacks and their disproprotionate impact on the players in comparison to the moves of the said players, the multi-tasking of attack and defense settled for the player, the wide ray of action of certain moves that make impossible to be avoided, and by the way most of all the extra menace for the players to be the direct targets of the attacks. Lest be honest, the fight itself it's not so originally executed and failed all the quirk odds promised. By the way my expectations for sure."

"How on this world you can play and...review at contemporary?" Lucario broke into "There's something wrong here."

"Ahahahah! Really? With one hand I'm writing with the other I'm playing." Lester raised a smile of innocence meanwhile Lampent kept fighting with Giratina...reset. Asking for an autograph....really.

"These Leviathans gone crazy under Lester." By the way Lucario couldn't get distracted, as Giratina immediately exploited that moment to disappear in the Shadow Force (ndr: mossa Oscurotuffo) and guess? He reappeared between the two. "I'M ENOUGH ORIGINAL?!?" Cut to Lucario glaring at the other smiling. They both receive a direct hit this time.

"Auch, okay, maybe I was a little IGN here."

"GYOAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"With a mix of Rotten Tamatoes. By the way Giratina seems to have no weakness points unlike the majority of boss battles." Lester focused on a possible solution to the anti-matter. Lucario prefered to spam frontal attacks with Oshawott everytime Giratina reappeared or prepared an attack.  Anorith was searching for the Grey Orb "I'm certain it can be hidden only in his body, maybe in the ring plates of the skeleton? When I'll find it, I will be the hero of the day eventually. Giratina is too busy with those morons to be aware of me."

"Excellenstrategy."

"?!?"

"It'smyfavoritetoo." Anorith didn't see that coming and his shout out was spotted by Giratina "LOOKS LIKE I HAVE AN HOST EVEN MORE INTRUSIVE THAN THE OTHERS. KEEP LOOKING HOPELESS! GYAHAHAH! THE ORB HAS BEEN INSIDE ME THE WHOLE TIME." Opened the golden crowned mouth "REMEMBER WHEN I SAID YOU ARE DOOMED FOR THE ETERNITY TO STAY AND DIE HERE? I MEANT THIS. THERE'S ONLY A WAY TO END THE GAME AND IT IS MY DEFEAT. SCREW THE RULES, I'M THE RULER. GYOAHHHH!" He casted another beam from the mouth, Lucario was ready to make Oshawott do the scallop protect move but Giratina directed the ray on the side and it bounced on the platforms surrounding the arena "I don't understand." until it hit Oshawott from behind! "Damn. Get up immediately, click, click, click." Giratina didn't waste a second and hit a second beam frontally before Lucario could do anything. Oshawott KO.

"Inside the mouth, exactly where I figured, ah! Aghostina, put some lava on that tounge." Giratina was surprised to see Lampent nearby him and she was too close to his mouth to fail the target "HOLY ARCEUS NO."

"Wow, I'm making the legendary of ghosts suffer. This is an over-achievement." Lampent poured the incandescent liquid before Giratina could react but Anorith joined the party clenching the Gray Orb "Thank y-"

"*QuicktheresonlyonewaytowinLucario, norules*. *Remember? Focus only the target."* Lucario's mind was flashed by the voice and ordered to the glitch "Double Shadow Ball." He hit Anorith and Lampent down the throat of the monster "No more rivals, I win."

"NOT YET, THIS IS NOT THE VICTORY CONDITION BY MY RULES!"

"Screw the rules." Mega Lucario smirked giving the last order of Shadow Ball with the joystick while preparing the fist in the other paw "**Payback**. Uaaaaah this is for Chimecho!"

**-GAME OVER-**

**WINNER: LUCARIO**

**WINNER TEAM: JOUSTERING JIRACHI JIGGLERS**

**SCORES: 510000000000000000000000**

**NEW RECORD: LUCARIO**

**PREVIOUS RECORD: NEVER EXISTED**

While these words appeared on the screen and Lucario retrieved the Grey Orb from the mouth of the dragon, Lester wondered what would have happened to him with shrunk shrunk eyes. "Antimatter is really definitely totally latiabsolutely not my favorite matter."

### Nominations

"Are we gonna take them? We don't know who losed."

"We certainly NOT." Lucario felt something on the cheek, it was his own hand: Chimecho was wrapped around the wrist "*Imagine that I have the controller now.*" and whispered with a playful blink. Lucario opened the mouth but the voice didn't come out as a vermilion color painted his face. The wind chime giggled at this.

"There's only one certainty." Oshawott swagged "Jigglers Winners!" and cheered together the teammates.

"You won only because Ninjask glitched invisible." drawled Lampent.

"Sore Loser Latias Leviathans!" the ott mocked in reply. The lantern looked her straight in the eyes with a dusk expression."See you soon when your soul we'll born in the afterlife." To which Oshawott was unable to reply. "I can't wait to leave this hell of a place, where is Jirachi?"

"I have a quirky idea, ah! This will be the first non elimination episode!"

"You're not the host, Lester..."

Lampent pat patted the poltergeist "You tried. But you can't escape your destiny."

**// Vent //**

**Minun entered in the vent with a smile upon the face "Why I am happy all of sudden? I just realized that Lester is going home. My vote, Metagross and Lampent are three against his and Porygon 2's. And I'm not sure that Porygon still follows Lester. Soooo... After the most abnormal experience of my life, welcome back normality!"**

**"Give to Porygon 2 the other two extra lives was a mistake." Rotom admitted.**

Beheeyem pondered deeply "There's something I can't still find an explanation in all this situation."

"?"

"About what? Your defeat? Ah, I did everything to make this team win today and always! I don't want to get involved. You know that you're the only responsible." Anorith stepped forward as Seviper seemed still not in herself "And guess what? I figured it using my prehistoric primary cortex, alien. Grr."

"I see considering your current reaction." Beheeyem shook the head "And your assumption was wrong and immediate as usual, anomalocaris. I studied the oddity of this place and its effects on every pokèmon of the cast: some pokèmon acted their opposite, others were their opposite types, and the average without particular traits stayed the same because when you flip a flat line it still remains identical." He used telekinesis to flip Anorith as the example. "Hey I told you to don't call me average again!"

"He looks the same effectively, except for the mouth."

"HEY!!! None asked your opinion, Dunsparce. Also, you talk seriously?!.... Then, what's next? Continue. I'm curious to listen where you want to arrive to save your-"

"And at the end there are four pokèmon out of the group: me, Lucario and Rotom were immune to the Distorsion World. But the fourth? Should have acted the opposite but when you're the opposite already acting the opposite means the opposite of the opposite if the opposite would be straight." turned at Inkay "Am I right or wrong?"

"Eh? Boh...(the opposite of the opposite of the straight opposite?) Rrrrig..wrrooo..Ronght!" Inkay scoffled at the end "Why you importunate me? I don't care."

"Ah, true? Pity, I know that the first secret of an actor is the care for details. I thought you would have benefited to improve yourself next time." Beheeyem shrugged with snark "You acted today the opposite of your opposite and it was all perfect so far, but then you used your power INVERTING EVERYTHING. That's the detail you missed today. A similar mistake you did as Lampent, as Plusle, as Me..."

"Ahahahhh enough. okay. You think to be a five star critic? My skills are undeniable, how about yours? You think you would be able to do better in my place fooling these morons for weeks?" the squid changed shape and consistency, the tentacles turned brown and solid with palms and fingers, the lights on the head turned green and became eyes, the doom of the head shaped in a pointy hat: a sosia of Beheeyem. "I dare you find any wrong detail, ahah! So? I'm waiting for the critic review. Awww, maybe the little gray head is running out of words now. Let me try again. How about Lampent? Or Swalot? Or the chippy Plusle?" promptly mocked the voice of the twin and her mannerism doing a cheerleading "Give me a Bi a E and an Em! BEM! No. It stays for NONE CARE! Give me a D a I a T a T a O instead: Diiiiiiiiiiiiitto! The future biggest star of Pokèwood, ladies and gentlemons."

Everyone else shocked "DITTO?!?"

Minun: "So Plusle was fake....I voted off my sister because of him."

Lester: "I said that many times there was a Ditto, ah!\*EPIC POSE\* and blame those that never gave me credit. By the way, Beheyeem, you discovered it thanks to me so credit!!"

Oshawott: "He was also THAT SWALOT. GRR."

Piplup: "That bottomless trashcan?!?"

Lampent: "...and he was Beheeyem that time."

"Yeah, I was given all the worst characters until...oh-oh." Ditto realized to have finally revealed his true identity and that he had angered too many pokèmon at contemporary this time, also that Metagross was disappeared "Ah ah ah, come on guys and girls! I was playing a part as the big supreme magistral actor I am. Sticking to the villain side I couldn't do any different. I assure I didn't mock everyone because you other pokèmorons were too stupid and unresistibly guillible to play with (even sadically) but from the height of my professional etique. Eheheheh. Pokèmorons. Ahahahahah! This one was the best of my puns: it fits you all perfectly! Ops." Stayed with a derpy smile for a moment "End of the drama. Farewell all!" And fleed!

"I WILL KILL YOUUUU! Dittoooooooooo!"

"Quick, how do I escape from this situation? Ditto reflected "I should see a legendary...Giratina! Gnnn, but Giratina is too big and requires more time to be assimilated. Argh, they're behind me! Another legendary I've seen today...a-ah! It's simple." Ditto transformed in a copycat of Shaymin and soon after assumed the Sky Form "And has wings, too. Now I can play with them a little before to leave. Hey, Oshamewott, Pimplup, Squirtard? Taste the fury of a legendary salad, I mean, Grass type!"

"Osha?! Waaah!"

"Salad is served." Ditto took off in the void "Hey, Bagon, do you like my wings? Come catch me and I will give you them free. What are you waiting for? Ahahahah!"

Shaymin was too fast and high to be reached by non legendary pokèmons so everyone could just watch Ditto's mockery and gloating, he showed them the rear and shook it to add more salt to the injury "How is the panorama? I won, you lose. Easy. That idiot of Victini thought he could rid off me so easy and instead I'm still here, I caused all the main dramas happened in this pathetic show so far, almost. And if I want, I can continue forever because you'll never spot me again. I could be every of you and you would never realize." his voice turned suddenly feminine "But now I'm just Shaymin, a little cute and powerful Shaymin with a sexy ass that Victini, Mr. Macarone Number 000, will never taste!" A V-creator hit out of nowhere burning him down to the ground.

"Victini!"

The V-host was surrounded by the flames and flaming were his eyes, the fake Shaymin stood up but was unable to fly again with the wings charred then lied assuming the best flirty position she could "Cough-Cough.Victini, my dear. I-I was waiting for our date the whole time! Do you want to finally, well, begin?"

"The Ceremony of the Voltorb of Victimization starts now." said Victini sternly "But there will be me instead of the Voltorb. Let's begin. V-creator! V-creator! V-creator! V-CREATOR!" Then spammed everywhere giant V of fire and aimed at Ditto/Shaymin charging with all his body with the V on the head raging on fire. Everyone, even Beheeyem and Lampent per say, stared immobile when the violence of the impact created a V fissure in the void, speechless.

"I finally epured my show from that vapid vamooser." Victini stopped to be on fire but remained serious and creepy to the contestants "The rest of you, on the plane now. The V-class is unaccessable for everyone until I'll decide it will be again. This episode has been over endure already. I end it here."

## EPILOGUE

Piplup needed a relaxing bath after so many adventures and dangers "I hath to restore my royalty and poor feathers, so, ladies and ladettes, move apart and let the eldest of us to enter first...I mean, the most expert! Oh, you got it. H-Hey, no! What is happening here?" The penguin arrived at the bathroom finding a queue, that would have been normal, if wasn't that the male contestants were standing here. She widened eyes in scandal "Males attending in front of the bathroom reserved for the women? There have always been differences in the world, of class, of species, and of gender of course. Since the beginning of the time this difference has always been a must even in the middle and low and lowest parts of society, species and globe, therefore the male gender was assigned his (disgusting) bathroom and the female gender, LADIES FIRST OF ALL, was honoured and worshipped to a specific luxury bathroom." she inflated her volume for the increasing indignation "Then what's the origin of this unacceptable invasion of my holy space of woman and this unappropriate unbelievable breach of centuries of tradition respected before the pokè ball even existed?!?"

"..." The queue proceeded in silence with Dunsparce exiting and Aurorus entering in the bathroom, the two flashed an ice look to each others. The pokèmon lined up waited in different ways: Minun jolted to restrain the pee, Ninjask polished himself, Lester (Rotom Wash) held his laundry-duty, Lampent read a book, Bagon put on and off the goggles and Chimecho did yoga. Piplup stared in shock but Lucario arrived behind her "Are you in the queue or just here to watch? Sgrunt, I'll jump you then."

"Girls! Why you don't say anything about this? This is so unrespectful to me and you, Lampent..Chimecho. Don't tell me you're fine with it."

Lampent answered first "I hath no urge. Actually, I just want to see someone suffering and this place is perfect for the torture of my lecture." She showed the title of the book with a slicing smile "*Wee are Next*". An horror story settled in a bathroom.

Piplup retailed back  "Eh... And you, Chimecho? You're like me, maybe a little more of the countryside, and a lower class, but  we need our space." Chimecho opened one eye and glanced at Lucario, maybe winking.

"You know what, feel free to mesh genders if you want! I prefer to be the last one to keep with the tradition, then I'll use the other bathroom U.U" directed to the male bathroom and crossed the door with a little of hesitation, but immediately recollected herself proudly.

"Who is the animal that broke the shower? I guess...nevermind. Tsk, male gender!" Piplup opened the water and poured a mixture of gentian and arctic mint in the tub, that later filled of bubbles. "Finally. A queen enjoys her reign alone. Splitch splotch. It's very hot already." Immersed half of her body in the water and felt a squeeze. "Piplup?"

"O-s-h-a-WHAT-THE-SHELL? We changed location just to not get disturbed again!" Oshawott merged under her. "GET OUT."

"Otherwise how about a threesome, womeeeen?" Squirtle purposed in the middle of them flashing a slinky smile from behind the shades.

"PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" Piplup's heart pumped off her chest and she fainted.

Oshawott glowered at her boyfriend "A threesome, Squirtle? SERIOUSLY."

".... So, who's gonna do the RMCP to her? Me or you?"

. . .

The two starters continued to stare at each other for the rest of the night without saying anything else.

"Eek! How dare you approach in this creepy poise at me?"

"No, E doesn't stay for Eek. It stays for Edge. Your edges are so perfectly round, Piplup, your head especially is a mathematic circle."

"Aww, you two look like two lovebirds."

"Shut up, Oshawott."

"Actually I'm an origami bird and she's a penguin bird: 100% statistically lovebirds."

"I have blue blood in my veins, he have blue screens at best! No way I'll date an Internet freak, E.V.E.R."

Lester: "In a war you can't trust anyone and Metagross."

Minun: "Eh, why you put Metagross apart?"

Lester: "By the waaaay..."

"We're running out of time and ARGH WE RAN OUT OF TIMERBALLS! WE CAN'T CONTINUE!"
