The Melody of The Sea is now Silent

[mineralgirl]

Characters: Jasmine and you!
Setting: Dorm floors, cafeteria, and floor twenty-five.
Format: Staring with prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: Jasmine wakes up in the Tower and tries to deal with the fact that everyone she knows and loves is dead.
Warnings: None that I can think of!

When Jasmine woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room and in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar nightgown, she was more than a little worried. Who had kidnapped her? Team Rocket? And why? Looking around, she saw a couple of letters on her nightstand, and while they were a bit informative, Jasmine had a very hard time swallowing it. Joto destroyed? Amphy dead? Olivine no more? All her friends and family dead? Jasmine sighed and bit her lip. In such times, she had to be strong. She hadn't gotten to be a Gym Leader by weeping at every cricis that happened along. She had to figure out what exactly was going on here.

So, she got out of bed and opened up her trunk, hoping to find something useful..and did. She quickly changed into her clothes and did up her hair before gathering up the Pokeballs that were in the trunk. So, her friends hadn't died at all. At least..some of them hadn't. Quickly, she opened up one ball and pulled out her Magnemite, which called out to her. Smiling, she patted it on the head. "Don't worry..we'll figure this one out."

With that, she ran out into the hallway, looking for anyone that she could find, her Magnemite trailing behind her. As she ran, she held onto her other Pokeballs. She wanted to pull them out, but Steelix was rather large, and she didn't want to tire Skarmory, even though she was rather strong.

While the bowl of oatmeal the man had handed her was rather unappetizing, Jasmine was trying to make the best of it and eat it as quickly as possible. While she ate, her Magnemite flitted about, and her other two Pokeballs sat on the table. Even though they weren't out, Jasmine wouldn't leave her friends out of a meal.

After going down the stairs for awhile, Jasmine had finally found a floor large enough for Steelix. Smiling, she released the large Pokemon, and it called out rather loudly as it was let out. "Sorry..this place is a bit smaller than home." In response, it lowered it's head and Jasmine, smiling, patted the large Pokemon on the head. They were made out of Steel and tough, but that didn't mean she had to be tough when she didn't have to be. After all, they were her friends.

[That finally did it. Still confused, and still hurting from Steelix's onslaught, Zett fell over backwards.]

Ooooooooow cripes.

[mineralgirl]

[While Skarmory stopped smacking him, Jasmine thought she should see if he was actually giving up..before getting them both to a clinic.]

Do..you give up?

[scentofmakai]

I give up, owwwww... [He rubs his head, trying to soothe it.]

[mineralgirl]

Oh..are you okay? I..think I saw a clinic in here. If you want..we could both go..

[scentofmakai]

Yeah... Sorry about attacking you, I thought you were your bird.

[mineralgirl]

It's..okay. You were confused..so I can see why that would..have happened.

[scentofmakai]

How many more of those Pokemon do you have?

[mineralgirl]

Um..other than Magnemite, that's all I have. Amphy and I were good friends back home..but she's not here.

[scentofmakai]

Oh, good, then I don't feel too bad about not taking down your whole party myself.

[mineralgirl]

Oh..Amphy isn't a fighter. She helped..power the lighthouse. Those three are part of my party..but you don't have to feel bad. I did say that Steel was strong!

[scentofmakai]

I'm strong too, but I'm not fighting at full capacity like this.

[mineralgirl]

Oh..how come? You don't..have to hold back.

[scentofmakai]

I'd scare you off, and probably do some collateral damage.

[mineralgirl]

I..don't know about collateral damage..but I've..seen a lot of Pokemon. I am a Gym Leader..so you..don't have worry about..scaring me.

[scentofmakai]

Gym Leader?

[mineralgirl]

Oh! Um..back in my world..to decide who the strongest..Pokemon Trainer was..there were eight Gym Leaders, people who were deemed the strongest in their towns and, while helping the town, also battled trainers. If..they won..they would receive a badge. Those..who got all the badges..would be allowed to battle the Elite Four. If they won..they would be declared the strongest..trainer.

[scentofmakai]

Oh, I think we have something like that at home.

[mineralgirl]

Really? What's..it like?

[scentofmakai]

Back home, the strongest demon in every town gets to help run it. Mammon runs Casino Town, for example. Or, he did before it got destroyed...

[mineralgirl]

Oh..I'm sorry to hear..about Casino Town. I'm sure..it was a lovely place.

[scentofmakai]

Most of the rest of the world was, too.

[mineralgirl]

[..While it wasn't Jasmine's world, that still surprised her, and not in a good way. That must have been horrible..not just for this person, but for everyone there..]

I see..I'm so sorry to hear that. That must have been horrible..but..how..did it get..destroyed?

[scentofmakai]

I don't know. All I know is there are people who've gone back to their worlds, and they've all been in ruins... I don't want to believe it's gone, but my world's probably not in one piece anymore.

[mineralgirl]

[..Oh. Jasmine had thought that this person meant that his world was mostly destroyed before he came here.]

Ah..I see. I've heard about that..and I'm sorry. I..thought you meant..that most of your world..was destroyed before you came here.

[scentofmakai]

Technically, that's true too. Just not the part I was living in.
