Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Void To The Heavens Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Dungeon Crawlers
Jigen leads the Lucario and Zeraora into his office, he closes and locks the door.
Azuraiden: “Is this why you’re not coming to the Dining Hall than you usually were?”
Jigen: “It’s something I have to come truthfully about.. It’s something I’ve been working on.”
He pulls a lever and the table area moves revealing a new area Unknown to Azuraiden and very new to Daxion
Azuraiden: “Jigen? What is this?”
They enter down as Jigen remained silent, the secret room is filled with strange patterns and only 5 strange looking plates in different colours, Red, Purple, Blue, Green and Yellow hovering in a capsule, a table with a bunch of notes and paper scrapped on the floor with a bed next to it.
Jigen: “This… is what I’ve been working on..well.. me and Asurocai have been working on..”
Azuraiden: “What are these? Some sort of plates?”
Jigen: “We’ve been discovering the properties of these artifacts that theoretically belong to Arceus, we’ve tried equipping them. We felt a strange surge of power from them. They seem to give us strength.”
Azuraiden: “Was there any like, backfire from the plates? Berserk hungry for power?”
Jigen: “No, nothing like that, however… We got addicted to the plates quite easily.. So we had to contain them in these capsules, never to be used for their full potential.”
Daxion: “That’s umm.. How do I put this? Very strange and tampering.”
Jigen: “Tampering? What do you mean? Like do you think we’re messing with an ancient artifact capable of increasing the power of a Pokemon? Chillax, we weren’t harming any Pokemon.”
Daxion: “Right.. You didn’t send us down here because you want to show off the plates?”
Jigen: “No.. It’s something more important, young Zera… It’s how you came here. You called yourself a human once, right?”
Daxion: “Yes..?”
Daxion grew a nervous expression as he realises that Jigen was talking about him and why he is here.
Jigen: “Well now, I think the way you somehow woke up into the Distortion World must be a portal distortion. I think that Necrozma you mentioned to Azuraiden must have been trying to send you to the Pokemon world but something or somemon was tampering with her abilities to transport other beings into this one.”
Daxion: “Hmmm..”
All Daxion can remember before being a Zeraora was being stabbed by a strange Pokemon with grey fur and yellow claws, but couldn’t really see his face before ‘dying’.
Daxion: “There was this Pokemon in the Distortion World? I couldn’t really see their face, but they stabbed me with their claws before I could suddenly breathe into this world. I think it was Grey fur with Yellow Claws?”
Jigen: “Grey fur with yellow claws? Aren’t you referring to a Zoroark? They have red claws and red hair or purple if they are shiny, there aren't any yellow Zoroarks around here.”
Daxion: “Then what else has yellow claws with grey fur?”
Jigen: “To be honest, Dax. I ain’t got no stinking clue, if there was one yellow Zoroark, I’d question if it’s a rare breed or some kind of weird mutation.”
Daxion: “Okay.”
Daxion seems to feel a bit down as he couldn’t find out what killed him before becoming this.
Jigen: “If you want to, I can make you a member of our guild.”
Daxion: “Wait what?”
Jigen: “We can explore the Mystery Dungeons and try to find as much about these plates and more information on how you got here.”
Daxion: “But Jigen.. I appreciate the offer, but I can't, I have to say no to that. I don’t even know how to fight like this. I can do is just punches and kicks and that’s all my human abilities, no flashy moves like an energy ball blast?”
Jigen and Azuraiden looked at each other as they have an idea for helping Daxion be a part of the guild.
Jigen: “Daxion, if what you say is true, we can train somewhere in the guild so you know the basics of your abilities as a Zeraora. Well, since you’re an Electric type, you can manage most elements just fine except Ground, those Ground type fellas are seriously a pain to deal with.”
Jigen held Daxion’s shoulder as they make their way somewhere out of the secret room, Azuraiden soon follows.
[Guildhouse 9F: Training Room]
The room that Jigen showed Daxion contains a couple of worn training dummies and a couple of elemental dummies.
Daxion: “Those dummies seem to have seen better days than usual.”
Jigen: “It’s cause a lot of members new here really pushed themselves to the limits, those scratches are proof enough they can do most stuff.”
Daxion goes over the to inspect the dummies damage marks. A lot of the damage was the punching and scratching.
Jigen: “If ya done inspecting stuff, step into the circle and we can begin.”
Daxion finishes and steps into the circle, Jigen gives a small cocky smile to him.
Azuraiden: “Lets see how you fair up to Jigen with your skills first, then he’ll try his own.”
Daxion: “Here’s what I learned from human experience.”
Daxion gave the traditional punches and Kicks to him while he blocked with his arms, though his Zeraora body made it more manageable to throw kicks with his legs, even he is surprised by what his body can do.
Jigen: “Not bad.. Let me show you what I got, don’t worry, the training area has an incense that heals serious injuries, it’s just some skills you might remember.”
Jigen charged right at him as Daxion blocked just like him, he was no laughing matter, he’s not the easy tutorial boss fight, Daxion flinched a bit during his attack on his arms due to how intense the punches and kicks are. Jigen was able to disarm his guard and land a serious punch to him until suddenly, Daxion felt like the world slowed down around him. He saw the upcoming attack, he had to think fast as the feeling didn’t last so long. Jigen threw the punch as Daxion’s new found Zeraora instincts kicked in to dodge it before getting hit by the second punch very hard in the under chin launching him forward.
Daxion: “Oooowww!! I know this place heals damage but still… OOOWWW!!”.
Jigen: “No hard feelings fella, but I noticed your new instincts kicked in and made you dodge my first heavy punch, gotta admit that’s impressive, even for a newbie.”
Daxion: “Thanks.”
As he said it in a Sarcastic tone as he rubbed his jaw while grabbing Jigen’s hand.
Jigen: “So you got the basics of normal combat down, now it’s time you know about the element type advantages. You got the three basics, Fire counters Grass, Water counters Fire, Grass counters Water, repeat. As a Zangoose, I’m a Normal type. I can handle a bunch of other elements but I am weak to Fighting types. Azuraiden is Fighting-Steel, any hit from an Aura Sphere equals a fainted Zangoose Guildmaster. Sad thing is, my normal attacks can’t attack Ghost Pokemon, neither can they.”
Daxion: “Lemme think, so, Ground can beat Electric types as you said earlier.”
Jigen: “Yeah cause Ground has no electric current in it, it’s like Fairy types fighting a dragon.”
Daxion: “Wait, fairies? Fairy Type Pokemon beats Dragon types?”
Jigen: “Yep.. It’s in the Pokemon’s history.”
Daxion: “A Fairy fighting a Dragon and winning against it makes absolutely no sense even by your world’s standards.”
Azuraiden: “Blame Arceus for this stupid logic, we didn’t create the Pokemon here.”
Daxion: “Okay then..”
Jigen: “Hahaha! As much as I like to joke around with a new member in training, let me show you how to use your moves.”
Jigen is charging his abilities…
Jigen used Close Combat on the dummy
It was super effective but the defense went down harshly at the cost of it.
Jigen: “All the dummies can be switched into different types depending on the person using them. I happen to have a Fighting type move with me.”
Daxion: “So I just step in front of the dummy and then it changes its type to fit my type?”
The Dummy went from a normal bland appearance to a blue shade, to represent Water type.
Daxion: “Woah.. that’s something..”
Jigen: “You might not have much moves as of right now, but you will grow stronger as time goes on.”
Daxion gets in his normal fighting position ready to fight the dummy.
Jigen: “Try using Electric Shock or Spark?”
Daxion used Spark
…
But nothing really happened.
Jigen: “Uhhhh? You struggling, Dax?”
Daxion: “I don’t think my abilities are working..”
Jigen: “*Sigh* Here, let me help you..”
Jigen asked for Daxion’s paw and lets him hold it.
Jigen: “Alright, trying thinking in your body, try and thinking about the voltage inside you.”
Daxion closed his eyes thinking about his attack, Jigen steps back so he doesn’t get hurt from the sparks.
Daxion can feel a strange surge coming from his body.. Or rather, outside from his body..
The electric is getting more shocking and intense as he looks at the dummy with his glowing blue ocean eyes..
Daxion used Thunder Punch
The dummy launched very hard from the impact of the punch, it’s super effective!
Jigen: “J-Jeez?!? What in Arceus’s name-?!”
Daxion suddenly felt an urge to pull another move.
Azuraiden: “It wasn’t a Spark, but he did pull off a Thunder Punch.”
He charges his claws as his fur starts to eradicate more and more electrical matter, he is ready to cause a strange blast..
Azuraiden: “Wait.. What is he-?”
Jigen: “DAXION NO!”
Daxion used Plasma Fists
The dummy exploded from the Electric pressure. It’s Critically Effective!
A deluge of ions showers the training area, luckily nothing was damaged but it caused Jigen to feel funny and a little shocked.
Daxion snapped out of it wondering what the hell was that Electric rush feeling was until he realised he destroyed the dummy.
Daxion: “Oh.. I think I’ve gone too far..”
Jigen: “Holy mother of Mew! You freaking killed the dummy without chill!”
Azuraiden: “Jigen, it wasn’t his fault he was trying to get his moves working.”
Jigen: “I understand that but.. Yeesh!”
Daxion seems concerned about the damage he caused to the dummy.
Daxion: “I am SO sorry about this, I wasn’t in control of my abilities..”
Jigen: “No no! Don’t worry about this.. We can always repair those.”
Jigen said with a slight worried look on his face
Daxion: “Are you sure?”
Jigen: “U-Uhhh..?”
Azuraiden: “Take a breather, Jigen.. I’ll handle the rest.”
Jigen: “You gonna show him the Mystery Dungeon basics?”
Azuraiden: “Yeah, be sure to tell the members I said hi and I’ll eat something in a bit.”
Jigen: “Okay then, just make sure you two get there safe..”
Jigen left the room while Azuraiden looks at a nervous looking Daxion
Azuraiden: “Don’t worry about him, he gets worried about some seriously intense moves all the time, hell in his younger days he was always afraid of the Fighting types like me. You can say he used to have Type-ophobia.”
Daxion: “Oh. Is that why he tried to stop me?”
Azuraiden: “Yes sadly, but since you were once human, your abilities might be hard to control than any common Pokemon. I’m just gonna get you into Mystery Dungeon basics and keeping an eye on your powers.”
Daxion: “Alright, lead the way to the dungeon, as long as it isn’t some kind of dungeon to torture someone.”
Azuraiden: “Nah, we aren’t like that, chillax.”
Daxion: “Hey! You can’t use my ‘Chillax’!”
Azuraiden: “Why can’t I use your ‘Chillax’?”
Daxion: “I literally invented ‘Chillax’ since the day I was born!”
Azuraiden bursts into laughter for how stupid he makes it sound.
Azuraiden: “Are you serious? Chillax was invented for a long while.”
Daxion: “I gotta make a joke when in this place. It’s a coping thing for me when tension gets tough.”
Azuraiden: “Oh? Well I needed that laughter, you seem to have a good sense of humor.”
They continue onto the hallway until they finally reach the doors…
[DUNGEON 00: PRACTICE DUNGEON]
Floors: 1/3
1F: A dungeon hall filled with nothing but a couple of Pichus, Riolus and Treekos. Clearly see the hallways and windows from outside and vines already growing down.
Daxion: “Well this is awfully seen better days..”
Azuraiden: “It is an old training dungeon after all, not many Pokémon use it as much and decided to go to real dungeons..”
Daxion: “Guess they want a challenge? I prefer to get a feel for this dungeon than risking a hard challenge.”
Azuraiden: “If that’s what makes you happy and comfortable with this world, then go ahead, alright I need you to be careful around here, traps are always everywhere in dungeons.”
Daxion: “Well.. It’s not a dungeon without one.” He said as he looks around the room checking the floors.
He walked into the left tunnel until..
Azuraiden: “Daxion, Wait!”
Daxion stepped back a bit, Azuraiden threw a stone on the title he was about to step on, it was a trap. Poison Tile.
Daxion: “You saved my skin, thanks.”
Azuraiden: “No problem, I kept a lot of stones from my exploration days, useful to keep a few in case you think a trap is nearby.”
Azuraiden jumped over the tile and so does Daxion, looking around until they see a couple of Goomy’s guarding the staircase while sleeping.
Daxion: “Oh Jeez.. do we really have to fight these little guys? They look peaceful.”
Azuraiden: “Yeah they are cute, but they are guarding the way down here, so we have no choice but to wake them.”
Azuraiden used an Iron Thorn and threw it at the Goomy.
One of the Goomy took -65 damage and ran away, the other two Goomy was ready to fight!
Daxion And Azuraiden got ready to fight!
Daxion is feeling uneasy but having courage.
Azuraiden is ready for anything!
Azuraiden used Dragon Pulse.
The aura shape of a Dragon dealt heavy damage to the Goomy. It’s Super Effective!
Goomy #1 has fainted
Daxion used Thunder Punch.
-92 damage to Goomy!
Goomy#2 looks tired.. it tried using Pound on Azuraiden.
-12 damage to the Lucario
Azuraiden used a Drain Punch
The second Goomy fainted while he recovers his -12 HP back!
40 XP for the party!
Azuraiden grew to Level 51!
Daxion grew.. Level 40? Shouldn’t he.. insta-faint that Goomy?
Daxion: “Sorry little Goo-Buddies, But we need to complete this training dungeon.”
Azuraiden: “They’ll forgive you after a while, for now, let’s get going.”
Floor ⅔
2F: Similar to the first floor, however it’s all covered in vines and most of the area is decaying and falling apart.
Daxion And Azuraiden we’re walking around in the decayed areas examining the old walls, seeing an odd painting of Zangoose fighting a Zoroark, was that Zangoose, Jigen?
*gurgle*
They are getting hungry.
Daxion: “Got any snacks to eat? I’m starting to get hungry..”
Azuraiden: “Umm… let’s see..”
**He noticed an Apple two floor tile steps beside him**
“Here! This apple will do it!”
Daxion: “Thanks”
**He Noms the Apple desperately**
Azuraiden: “Can’t believe they kept those apples for years!”
**Daxion reacts appropriately and spits and chokes on the aged apple**
Daxion: “YEARS?!?!? WHO THE LIVING HECK EATS APPLES IN DUNGEONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED FOR YEARS?!?!”
Azuraiden: “Hey! They’re special Apples, no need to spit them out, they are the rare apples that cannot rot in dungeons.”
Daxion: “Are you sure that you ‘overly fine with it’ Jackal?”
Azuraiden: “Umm… What’s a Jackal?”
Daxion realises that real life animals don’t exist in this world.
Daxion: “Oh.. you wouldn’t understand.. it’s a..human thing.”
Daxion’s Hunger has been restored
Azuraiden’s Hunger has been restored
The staircase was just up ahead but Daxion and Azuraiden were not sure if they should head on in case of traps.
Daxion: “You still got stones with you?”
Azuraiden: “Only a few, let’s see.. 3 stones.. best make use of them.”
With the first stone they had thought it could be the first tile next to it so they chucked a stone on it… Nothing happened. So it is safe. They can cross and onto the next floor.
Floor 3/3:
3F: The Room of the Blessed.
A room filled with loose fabric on the bed, couple of paintings of many different Pokémon and a worn statue of a Mew.
Daxion: “Man.. this room definitely needs a revamp.”
Azuraiden: “Surprised That many haven’t decided to make it their room.”
Daxion stares at paintings of the many Pokémon breeds in many poses and situations, expressing angry or positive emotions or a blank expression. He reads the names of many on the painting.
Daxion: “Mikaos the Great Zoroark, Kaizit the mysterious Mein-Shao? Soul the Legendary Delphox King of Predators, gotta admit he’s got nice wings.”
Azuraiden: “People say he’s the king of predators who are Pokémon hungry to eat others alive as their prey. Maybe it’s to advance the food chain to its limits. Perhaps his Lopunny Queen might have some feelings for it?”
Daxion: “Probably hated the idea, judging by my vision of his story, either way eating Pokémon alive doesn’t feel right for me.”
Azuraiden: “Same.. But everymon has a weird quirk they have.”
They continue to check around this place looking at the wear and tear of the fabric. When searching the draw areas, Daxion found something in there. A book that contains an odd symbol on it. When reading it’s all a bunch of strange footprints and odd languages.
Daxion: “What the hell am I reading? It’s nothing but a bunch of gibberish.”
Azuraiden: “Judging by your human standards you haven’t learned Pokéspeak?”
Daxion: “What’s that language?”
Azuraiden: “It’s a type of tongue that most Pokémon in the olden days use for writing scrolls and magical incantations.”
Daxion: “You going to translate this?”
Azuraiden: “Alright now hold on, I’m a bit rusty with my Pokéspeak so just.. give me a moment.” *Ahem*
Azuraiden is ready to say the phrase:
“Lucar-Cari-Lucario-Rio-Lucari-Luc...um...Ucariolu?”
Daxion: “You just babbling your species name like a bunch of times.”
Azuraiden: “That’s Pokéspeak for you. It is just saying your species name while translating crap. But from what I read it translates to: Open thy doors to the gods, let Arceus’s name be heard and let them wear the Delta Armor.”
Daxion: “Whatever that Armor is? Could it be an incantation password?”
Azuraiden: “Honestly it sounds possible but.. I don’t see any secret doors or anything? Nothing has caught the scent.”
Daxion: “Maybe Jigen might help figure out where the Armor could be once I start really getting into this more.”
Azuraiden: “Alright, let’s head back and get something to eat.. besides.. Apples.”
Dungeon complete: Daxion and Azuraiden has completed the training dungeon.
Azuraiden and Daxion returned to the Guild area and saw many Pokémon eating food as Jigen was eating slowly until he noticed the two.
Jigen: “Ah, welcome back! Glad to see you two make it. Tell me Daxion, how was the dungeon exploration? Were there any toughies to punch down? Any spooky Ghost types?”
Daxion: “Well.. the last two didn’t happen.. but it’s more atmospheric to explore.. I like a bit of atmosphere but.. I’m not sure about doing this for a job. I’m still a bit young to do all this..”
Jigen: “Nonsense Dax, this Guild is for all ages, anyone can join in! Don’t worry about it for now and just give it time and allow you to think about it.”
Azuraiden: “For now, let’s just eat up and go home to Veriti alright?”
Daxion gave an uneasy and nervous sigh: “Alright..”
Daxion and the rest of the Pokémon ate their food ready for the next adventure. (The food did taste delicious to be honest)
Daxion and Azuraiden returned home, met Veriti, chilled and called it a day.
Daxion just stares at the ceiling on his bed just thinking..
“This is getting nowhere with my thoughts, I suddenly dealt some unnecessary damage to a dummy, there's this Delta Armor somewhere and still nothing about how or why I was in that Distortion World in the first place? Am I really depressed just trying to pull a facade over it to not make people worry? Good grief.. I wish I knew why I was in that world in the first place before accepting Necrozma’s help.. Maybe it will come to me in time, I can't stay in a low mood, I need a rest.”
Soon after he went to sleep.
=The Next Day>
Pokemon belongs to Nintendo and GameFREAK
Mystery Dungeon belongs to Spike CHUNSOFT
Jigen leads the Lucario and Zeraora into his office, he closes and locks the door.
Azuraiden: “Is this why you’re not coming to the Dining Hall than you usually were?”
Jigen: “It’s something I have to come truthfully about.. It’s something I’ve been working on.”

Azuraiden: “Don’t worry about him, he gets worried about some seriously intense moves all the time, hell in his younger days he was always afraid of the Fighting types like me. You can say he used to have Type-ophobia.”
Daxion: “Oh. Is that why he tried to stop me?”
Azuraiden: “Yes sadly, but since you were once human, your abilities might be hard to control than any common Pokemon. I’m just gonna get you into Mystery Dungeon basics and keeping an eye on your powers.”
Daxion: “Alright, lead the way to the dungeon, as long as it isn’t some kind of dungeon to torture someone.”
Azuraiden: “Nah, we aren’t like that, chillax.”
Daxion: “Hey! You can’t use my ‘Chillax’!”
Azuraiden: “Why can’t I use your ‘Chillax’?”
Daxion: “I literally invented ‘Chillax’ since the day I was born!”
Azuraiden bursts into laughter for how stupid he makes it sound.
Azuraiden: “Are you serious? Chillax was invented for a long while.”
Daxion: “I gotta make a joke when in this place. It’s a coping thing for me when tension gets tough.”
Azuraiden: “Oh? Well I needed that laughter, you seem to have a good sense of humor.”
They continue onto the hallway until they finally reach the doors…
[DUNGEON 00: PRACTICE DUNGEON]
Floors: 1/3
1F: A dungeon hall filled with nothing but a couple of Pichus, Riolus and Treekos. Clearly see the hallways and windows from outside and vines already growing down.
Daxion: “Well this is awfully seen better days..”
Azuraiden: “It is an old training dungeon after all, not many Pokémon use it as much and decided to go to real dungeons..”
Daxion: “Guess they want a challenge? I prefer to get a feel for this dungeon than risking a hard challenge.”
Azuraiden: “If that’s what makes you happy and comfortable with this world, then go ahead, alright I need you to be careful around here, traps are always everywhere in dungeons.”
Daxion: “Well.. It’s not a dungeon without one.” He said as he looks around the room checking the floors.
He walked into the left tunnel until..
Azuraiden: “Daxion, Wait!”
Daxion stepped back a bit, Azuraiden threw a stone on the title he was about to step on, it was a trap. Poison Tile.
Daxion: “You saved my skin, thanks.”
Azuraiden: “No problem, I kept a lot of stones from my exploration days, useful to keep a few in case you think a trap is nearby.”
Azuraiden jumped over the tile and so does Daxion, looking around until they see a couple of Goomy’s guarding the staircase while sleeping.
Daxion: “Oh Jeez.. do we really have to fight these little guys? They look peaceful.”
Azuraiden: “Yeah they are cute, but they are guarding the way down here, so we have no choice but to wake them.”
Azuraiden used an Iron Thorn and threw it at the Goomy.
One of the Goomy took -65 damage and ran away, the other two Goomy was ready to fight!
Daxion And Azuraiden got ready to fight!
Daxion is feeling uneasy but having courage.
Azuraiden is ready for anything!
Azuraiden used Dragon Pulse.
The aura shape of a Dragon dealt heavy damage to the Goomy. It’s Super Effective!
Goomy #1 has fainted
Daxion used Thunder Punch.
-92 damage to Goomy!
Goomy#2 looks tired.. it tried using Pound on Azuraiden.
-12 damage to the Lucario
Azuraiden used a Drain Punch
The second Goomy fainted while he recovers his -12 HP back!
40 XP for the party!
Azuraiden grew to Level 51!
Daxion grew.. Level 40? Shouldn’t he.. insta-faint that Goomy?
Daxion: “Sorry little Goo-Buddies, But we need to complete this training dungeon.”
Azuraiden: “They’ll forgive you after a while, for now, let’s get going.”
Floor ⅔
2F: Similar to the first floor, however it’s all covered in vines and most of the area is decaying and falling apart.
Daxion And Azuraiden we’re walking around in the decayed areas examining the old walls, seeing an odd painting of Zangoose fighting a Zoroark, was that Zangoose, Jigen?
*gurgle*
They are getting hungry.
Daxion: “Got any snacks to eat? I’m starting to get hungry..”
Azuraiden: “Umm… let’s see..”
**He noticed an Apple two floor tile steps beside him**
“Here! This apple will do it!”
Daxion: “Thanks”
**He Noms the Apple desperately**
Azuraiden: “Can’t believe they kept those apples for years!”
**Daxion reacts appropriately and spits and chokes on the aged apple**
Daxion: “YEARS?!?!? WHO THE LIVING HECK EATS APPLES IN DUNGEONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED FOR YEARS?!?!”
Azuraiden: “Hey! They’re special Apples, no need to spit them out, they are the rare apples that cannot rot in dungeons.”
Daxion: “Are you sure that you ‘overly fine with it’ Jackal?”
Azuraiden: “Umm… What’s a Jackal?”
Daxion realises that real life animals don’t exist in this world.
Daxion: “Oh.. you wouldn’t understand.. it’s a..human thing.”
Daxion’s Hunger has been restored
Azuraiden’s Hunger has been restored
The staircase was just up ahead but Daxion and Azuraiden were not sure if they should head on in case of traps.
Daxion: “You still got stones with you?”
Azuraiden: “Only a few, let’s see.. 3 stones.. best make use of them.”
With the first stone they had thought it could be the first tile next to it so they chucked a stone on it… Nothing happened. So it is safe. They can cross and onto the next floor.
Floor 3/3:
3F: The Room of the Blessed.
A room filled with loose fabric on the bed, couple of paintings of many different Pokémon and a worn statue of a Mew.
Daxion: “Man.. this room definitely needs a revamp.”
Azuraiden: “Surprised That many haven’t decided to make it their room.”
Daxion stares at paintings of the many Pokémon breeds in many poses and situations, expressing angry or positive emotions or a blank expression. He reads the names of many on the painting.
Daxion: “Mikaos the Great Zoroark, Kaizit the mysterious Mein-Shao? Soul the Legendary Delphox King of Predators, gotta admit he’s got nice wings.”
Azuraiden: “People say he’s the king of predators who are Pokémon hungry to eat others alive as their prey. Maybe it’s to advance the food chain to its limits. Perhaps his Lopunny Queen might have some feelings for it?”
Daxion: “Probably hated the idea, judging by my vision of his story, either way eating Pokémon alive doesn’t feel right for me.”
Azuraiden: “Same.. But everymon has a weird quirk they have.”
They continue to check around this place looking at the wear and tear of the fabric. When searching the draw areas, Daxion found something in there. A book that contains an odd symbol on it. When reading it’s all a bunch of strange footprints and odd languages.
Daxion: “What the hell am I reading? It’s nothing but a bunch of gibberish.”
Azuraiden: “Judging by your human standards you haven’t learned Pokéspeak?”
Daxion: “What’s that language?”
Azuraiden: “It’s a type of tongue that most Pokémon in the olden days use for writing scrolls and magical incantations.”
Daxion: “You going to translate this?”
Azuraiden: “Alright now hold on, I’m a bit rusty with my Pokéspeak so just.. give me a moment.” *Ahem*
Azuraiden is ready to say the phrase:
“Lucar-Cari-Lucario-Rio-Lucari-Luc...um...Ucariolu?”
Daxion: “You just babbling your species name like a bunch of times.”
Azuraiden: “That’s Pokéspeak for you. It is just saying your species name while translating crap. But from what I read it translates to: Open thy doors to the gods, let Arceus’s name be heard and let them wear the Delta Armor.”
Daxion: “Whatever that Armor is? Could it be an incantation password?”
Azuraiden: “Honestly it sounds possible but.. I don’t see any secret doors or anything? Nothing has caught the scent.”
Daxion: “Maybe Jigen might help figure out where the Armor could be once I start really getting into this more.”
Azuraiden: “Alright, let’s head back and get something to eat.. besides.. Apples.”
Dungeon complete: Daxion and Azuraiden has completed the training dungeon.
Azuraiden and Daxion returned to the Guild area and saw many Pokémon eating food as Jigen was eating slowly until he noticed the two.
Jigen: “Ah, welcome back! Glad to see you two make it. Tell me Daxion, how was the dungeon exploration? Were there any toughies to punch down? Any spooky Ghost types?”
Daxion: “Well.. the last two didn’t happen.. but it’s more atmospheric to explore.. I like a bit of atmosphere but.. I’m not sure about doing this for a job. I’m still a bit young to do all this..”
Jigen: “Nonsense Dax, this Guild is for all ages, anyone can join in! Don’t worry about it for now and just give it time and allow you to think about it.”
Azuraiden: “For now, let’s just eat up and go home to Veriti alright?”
Daxion gave an uneasy and nervous sigh: “Alright..”
Daxion and the rest of the Pokémon ate their food ready for the next adventure. (The food did taste delicious to be honest)
Daxion and Azuraiden returned home, met Veriti, chilled and called it a day.
Daxion just stares at the ceiling on his bed just thinking..
“This is getting nowhere with my thoughts, I suddenly dealt some unnecessary damage to a dummy, there's this Delta Armor somewhere and still nothing about how or why I was in that Distortion World in the first place? Am I really depressed just trying to pull a facade over it to not make people worry? Good grief.. I wish I knew why I was in that world in the first place before accepting Necrozma’s help.. Maybe it will come to me in time, I can't stay in a low mood, I need a rest.”
Soon after he went to sleep.
