All the Traps! [Treasure Search / Complete]

[Kouji Sakuraba]

As the onerous rumbling shook the room he was currently in, he then thought he felt the statue quivering—before seeing something shoot out of one of the protrusions that the weird-ass statue possessed! “YIKES!” he shouted, making a dive for the floor; as the entire statue suddenly began to spit out a torrent of what appeared to be sharpened rocks, whizzing through the air and burying themselves in the wall opposite.

“Oh, shit, time to get out of here in one piece!” he shouted once more, quickly shuffling through the assortment of containment units he had with him—he knew that his Gallade didn’t even have Teleport, so it was time to turn to one of his newer cohorts! “Casey, help me!” he continued, plucking out the Abra’s containment unit and sending him out in a flash of red light.

“Abra?” the little Psi ‘mon inquired as he emerged from the flash of red light; before hearing another sound of whizzing coming from the statue. “I’m sorry if I woke you up, again, but I need your help here with a Teleport!” he cried out, watching as the rest of the statue burst into those weird-looking spikes and sent several whizzing his way! Without thinking, the Psi ‘mon then grabbed his owner’s hand and Teleported both himself and the Breeder out of the booby-trapped room.

Who knew where the two were going to end up this time around?

Kouji himself was going to experience first-hand the rumors that had been circulating ever since the Mega Ruins had opened—that whatever vestige of Psychic-type abilities or Aura-fueled powers weren’t going to be a hundred percent in top working condition. He knew that he’d already asked his Abra, Casey to get him out of the imploding room—but where would they end up? The answer would come clear in a few moments as he felt all his hair stand up, before having the feeling in his legs appear again—only instead of landing on the ground, they’d materialized in mid-air instead!

“Casey! What the hell?!” he screeched, looking up and seeing that they had materialized very close to the ceiling. “A-Abra? ABRA?!” he heard his companion cry out of surprise; because he knew his own calculations were perfect—he was supposed to appear on the ground with his master, not near the ceiling! The two then began a rather ridiculous free-fall, with the Breeder screaming all the way down! “Casey! Get us out of here again!” he shouted, reaching through the space for his Abra’s outstretched hand—the Pokémon realized that if they landed on the floor at the rate they were going, they were going to be dead meat! As the Pokémon’s fingertip touched his master’s hand, another ripple spread through his body—and the two winked out mere seconds away from getting crushed like pancakes.

The two had been so preoccupied in saving themselves from certain death, they’d missed the dais that was standing innocently in the middle of the room, winking with a rather devious-looking prize ensconced in the cavity in its center…

Kouji could only guess as to where Casey had taken them—it wasn’t until he felt the tingling in his legs spreading and shooting upwards did he realize that they were re-appearing back into the visible world. Damn it, is it just me or is Teleport acting up? I know that we were supposed to land on the floor, not the ceiling unlike earlier. But then again… something’s weird with these Ruins… he thought to himself as he then fell with an unceremonious crashing noise on the cold stone floor; catching his Abra in his arms as they looked around. “Ouch, a bit uncomfortable, but otherwise… nice landing, Casey,” he said, shaking his head and giving the Abra a pet on the head before he realized that his companion had dozed off again.

Such a sleepy-head… he thought with a grin on his face as he then stood up and looked around—he’d landed in a room; but there was no statue present. Instead, the walls—and even the floor—were decorated with murals. He didn’t realize it until he’d looked down and saw that there were… dinosaurs represented in the floor tiles! “What in the world…” he began, looking around and catching sight of the walls, painted with beautiful, if somewhat faded, paintings of a time long gone. He saw the lines of a peaceful-looking creature that lived in what appeared to be freezing-cold regions—and they were traveling in herds. “Families, packs even,” he muttered, not realizing that he’d voiced his thoughts out loud as he walked forward, the better to be able to examine the room in much detail.

He’d walked so far forward he’d almost stepped on the thing that had been left on the floor—and caught sight of it once he looked down at the floor! “This isn’t anything like I’ve ever seen…” he continued to mutter to himself, before looking around and then quickly snatching up the fossil that was on the room’s floor. Thankfully, no traps had gone off as he tucked it under his left arm before making his way back to where his Abra was now snoozing, floating in mid-air…
