This choice: Go inside of Prism Tower • Go Back...Chapter #4Hitching a ride to Prism Tower. by: sneakyk  From your brief introduction to this gigantic version of Lumiose, you quickly conclude that it is not the safe spot you would hope it to be. The city's cheery, alluring storefronts seem nothing but a cruel mockery of your circumstances. The artificial ground on which you stand, something you would otherwise take for granted, is an almost alien work of wonder at this scale. A work of wonder no doubt fashioned by the same sort of giants as the girl who just casually trampled a living being into a paste beneath her sandal. You are surrounded by giants who seem to view 'tinies' such as yourself as fodder to be annihilated.
You need to find shelter... and fast. But where? Realizing that you cannot stay out in the open at once, you sprint for the nearest decorate tree and plant your back against it. You take a moment to consider your next course of action. Realistically, all you can do is scamper about for shelter and sporadically scavenge for food and water. You'd be no different than a common rodent... the sort one might call an exterminator for. But what better life could you lead?
For now, your only concern should be in the immediate term... and in the immediate term, you're surrounded by giants that would likely kill or capture you on sight. You spot a fallen leaf and tuck yourself beneath it, wondering if this is a blessing from Arceus in his more plant-like forme.
You observe your immediate surroundings from the relatively safety of your hiding spot.
Various events convince you that staying here really isn't a good idea. (various extreme content is involved) ▼ All manner of footwear, tiretreads, make their marks upon the urban terrain. A pink sneaker with its laces dangerously undone, bright blue soccer cleats, lime green crocs, sandals hugging around youthful feet, pudgy Pokemon paws. You eventually turn your attention upwards, to see a pair of women in their twenties casually chatting to one another as they walk. One of them is holding a kebab with cooked peppers and onions and... oh no. No no no. You feel a cold chill pass down your spine as you realize that the meat portion of the kebab is comprised of three still-living human beings. You retract your prior theory. Providence, be it from Arceus or otherwise, is not in play here. A scream sounds out as the woman plucks her morsel of a man loose and his body disappears beyond her lips.
You scarcely have any time to eulogize the poor nameless man before you catch a glimpse of another atrocity. A lithe, twinkish young man, perhaps in his twenties brandishes what initially appears to be a piece of candy and sets it upon the muzzle of a male Furfrou. You are distracted, momentarily, by the impressively large girth of the Furfrou... but you quickly turn your attention back up to the Furfrou's muzzle. The 'candy' piece turns out to be not a chunk of candy but another human being, this one a female practically mummified in peanut butter. The young male rests a finger over the over the bosom of the tiny woman. "Hold on boy. Whose a good boy? Whooooose a good boy? Who is patient, and clever, and sweet enough to earn a treat? THat's right. It's you. Now...get em!" he punctuates that last line with a loud whistle. The Furfrou swiftly flings his treat into the air before snapping his jaws shut. His teeth sink around her ankle. A scream is heard for but a moment before he slurps her in like a string of spaghetti and quickly supresses any sense of rebellion she may have with some closed-maw crunches.
You shudder in terror as the spectacle unfolds itself, and quickly duck your head beneath the leaf, not wanting to see any more. As you cower beneath this natural cover, you hear the sound of footfalls heading your way...but it is not the footfalls that worry you. It is the accompanying sound of canine sniffs headed your way. You nearly void yourself as you picture the Furfrou doing to you as he did to his last victim... but it's too late to run. The stomps grow louder. The sniffing draws nearer, until you can be sure that he is sniffing right at the base of the tree. You hear a flurry of footfalls... but no bite comes. Not even a snarl. Poking your head out, you see not the muzzle of the Furfrou....instead, his enormous cock is pointing straight towards you.
Realizing what is about to happen, you grab the leaf and dive to the other side of the tree, just in time to avoid getting hit with a deathray force blast of urine. The yucky smelling dog piss ricochets off of the bark of the tree. You cower beneath the leaf, the thunderous roar of the piss pitter pattering against the tree terrifying you even if you aren't in its range. The soil around you begins to dampen, and a puddle gradually begins to form around the tree. Just when the puddle of piss is about to expand out to you, the Furfrou stops and lowers his leg.
You hear another flurry of stomps. Poking your head out, you see the Furfrou's enormous backside squatting over you. It does not take a genius to realize what's about to happen. But just as you get ready to run once more, a shrill female voice sounds out. "OHMYGOSH! HE'S THAT FURFROU'S ABOUT TO SHIT! BECCA LOOK" "Guh-rossss!" "THEN WHY ARE YOU RECORDING IT?" "For the memes. Duh. " Damned harpies! You can't run now ....they'd spot you. But the alternative...urgh. The air is growing foul already.
But just before the dog can do his business upon the leaf, his trainer quickly and unwittingly saves the day. "Hold on. No. Stop. Let me get your bag."The young man desperately says. he squats down, reaches into a pack, and pulls out a clear plastic bag with harnesses affixed to it. With practiced efficiency he straps it around the Furfrou and allows it to shit once more. You manage to catch a glimpse of what follows... the first inklings of a turd poking out from the bottom, followed by a sudden rush as a massive stool threatening to fill the bag to the breaking point. Unable to avert your gaze from the rancid mass of mess, you make a horrifying discovery...human bones. The dog's stool is chock full of them. You grow faint at the site and nearly pass out.
Mercifully, the dog leaves without inspecting the area further.
Minutes later, a woman pushing a diaper-clad boy in a stroller stomps along. The boy, in what is quickly becoming a recurring theme today, has a pair of 'tinies' held firmly in his clutches. He is excitedly banging their heads and torsos against one another, in a mock fight that neither of his captives seem remotely interested in. His mother, meanwhile, is busy talking on the phone about tech demo.
And it is here that you hatch a plan. While the baby and his mother are both an eminent threat to you, they are both eminently distracted. You might be able to hitch a ride...
Not wanting to stay here another minute, you board a compartment in the underside of a passing pedestrian's stroller and take shelter among the various baby supplies stashed underneath. As the oblivious pedestrian walks along, you realize that they are headed in the general direction of the Prism Tower...
Prism Tower, also the site of the Lumiose Gym. As you lie among the sundry objects beneath the stroller, you realize that this may be your best bet at finding an ally. Gym Leaders are supposed to not merely be authorities on Pokemon training... they're also supposed to be moral authorities as well. If you recall correctly, this city's leader is Clemont. At least, in your reality that would be the case. A pure-hearted youth, brilliant and wise beyond his years. Eccentric, yes, but just. If there is a single soul in the city that could help you out, it would be him.
As fate would have it, the mother is headed straight for the tower. You remain in the stroller as the woman heads into the base of the tower, terminating a conversation on her phone just as she enters. She immediately makes her way to a receptionist, her baby babbling and playing with his action figures as the two women discuss matters.
You crawl over to the edge of the compartment and look out to see that the Prism tower's lobby has a brochure rack, a glass table with some accompanying seats, a single unisex restroom, a reception desk right in front of you, and a single potted plant. To your left you see the wide open entrance to the outside world, and to your right , just around the corner of the reception desk, you see a single elevator door.
Notably, you spot a small mousehole-like opening adjacent to the elevator...perhaps a path to safety? indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
