[/style]Getting dropped off in the wrong region and not knowing it, that was why her parents didn’t want her going places by herself. Because something like this could happen. Luckily, Kirsi had not gotten lost. The company of her blue Gardevoir relaying psychic images of the surrounding world to her blind trainer had led the pair through a town that seemed to be practically made up of farmland and not much else, as though the war had caused it to become worthless.

It was sad.

Kirsi clutched the hand of her pokemon as they traveled south, the occasional images being flashed in her mind showing they were approaching tower. ”What’s this?” she asked quietly. The Pokemon shrugged, though her trainer couldn’t see. ”We should go inside until someone else comes along…”

The pokemon led her trainer to the base of the tower. She glanced at a sign and projected the image to Kirsi’s mind.

Lost Tower?

It sounded interesting. They entered silently.

[/style]He didn't want to be here.

Actually scratch that. He really didn't want to be here. Theodore rubbed his arms against his sides as if he were cold, but inside, he knew that this was no ordinarily chill running down his spine. The touch of a sticky hand brushing his arm almost made him jump out of his skin and after he'd recovered, the man glared down at the Croagunk standing there, whistling a small tune idly. "I don't know how you can be so calm about this." He hissed, code for 'why can't we pick somewhere else' but his pokemon just shrugged and gestured inside, prompting another groan.

He didn't like this place, the man reminded himself again as he stepped inside the tower, his eyes circling around and eyeing the walls and gravestones with obvious distaste. Didn't like this place because it was cold and didn't like this place because it really reminded him of the time his mum's mismagius had gotten out of its pokeball and ended up in his room when he was ten and really didn't like this place because it was night time, and nighttime was the worst time to come to the lost tower. Suddenly the ground vanished in the midst of his thoughts and Theodore landed on his face on the grass (or ground, whatever). The Croagunk sniggered by his side and he groaned again.

This wasn't going to be fun at all.

something's gotta give now

[/style]The ground beneath her feet was still soft like grass. She supposed the floor had not been built entirely, perhaps to preserve at least some of the nature that surrounded it. However, she assumed the rest was built up to honor departed pokemon. ”Gardevoir?” she asked quietly, looking to where she sensed the pokemon next to her. ”What does it look like?” The pokemon stopped moving, and Kirsi did too, taking its blue hand in her own. The Psychic-type crossed its free hand over her chest before opening her eyes, projecting the image of the dark, empty tower into her owner’s mind. ”Interesting...” she said, letting the image sink into her brain.

Maybe if they got to the upper floors they would see more than just emptiness.

Suddenly, her pokemon looked up, as though she sensed something. ”What is it?” Kirsi asked, sensing her pokemon’s unease. The Gardevoir projected an image into her mind, then rapid-fired more quickly as a scene unfolded before them. The vague outline of somebody one floor above them before the same figure plummeted down to the ground floor where the blind girl and her pokemon were standing.

Kirsi was barely able to gasp before the man hit the ground beneath him. A pokemon leapt next to him. ”S-sir!” she exclaimed worriedly, running to crouch next to him. Her pokemon followed urgently, putting herself between the other pokemon and her trainer. ”Are you alright?”

Kirsi’s hands hovered worriedly over the man’s body.
