Pokemon World Online Login 3: Lost Pokemon's Requim Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon. In case you were wondering, Bunneary is a 4th generation pokemon. If you don't know about 4th generation pokemon, then either go to or wait until the games come out on April 22nd (Earth Day) 2007. ooo "I am so glad to be out of Cobalt feild. I was sick of seeing feilds of flowers, no offense Helium, but flowers aren't my thing. All offense to you, though, Em, because I don't like you," Twilmer said in her usual cocky tone as she put her pudgy, Pichu arms behind her head as they walked along the trail that ran through Valum Forest. "I know you don't mean that Miss Pichu. You're just sore because I tried to tame you LMAO it's okay," Emily23 laughed. "It's still really weird hearing you talk to me like that. Haven't I told you to stop, n00b?" Twilmer complained. Helium just shook his head. It was another normal morning with the party they had started. Thier motley crew had had no luck finding anyone to join thier party in any of the Cobalt feild towns, so they had decided to head out. "Oh, I bet there are so many new pokemon waiting to be tamed in this forest, right Bunneary? I can't wait to tame them with my new matching Bunneary staff!" Emily23 twirled the staff around and over her head. "Hey, you're prettey good at that," Helium remarked, to an unapproving grunt from Twilmer. She was once again perched on Helium's shoulder, still not used to her little Pichu legs. "It's not surprising. I'm a colorguard in a marching band in real life," Emily23 smiled at the compliment. All of a sudden, there was a rustling heard from the bushes right next to them. Twilmer turned to see what it was, but everything was still. "Everyone, stand still," Twilmer commanded. The party obeyed and Twilmer looked around. Her ears perked up as she saw a shadow moving fast. "Something's circling us," Twilmer whispered. "I can stop it with some of my stun powder!" Helium dug through his bag, adorned with cherry blossum designs, and produced a small pouch of what Twilmer assumed was the stun powder. Helium threw it out in all directions with the aid of his Gloom. They heard a soft thump as something hit the ground, stunned. The group ran in the direction the thump had come from and saw a Sneasal that wore a gold and silver necklace that was encrusted with amethysts. "Victoria!" Twilmer ran to the Sneasal's side. helium quickly spread anti-stun powder over the sneasal, who looked up at Twilmer. "Victoria, it's me, Twilmer. Do you remember?" "Sneasal, snea snea," Sneasal held her claws out. "Hey, I can understand pokemon speech!" Twilmer looked shocked for a second, then looked crossly at Sneasal. "What do you mean I'm not your master? I am too. Do you remember the glitch? It turned me into a pichu and I've been stuck in this little pudgy body ever since, just about. I've been wondering where you went off to. I knew you'd be safe because of all the training we did together, so I didn't worry too much." Sneasal looked at Twilmer with a critical eye. "Snea," Victoria replied, crossing her arms and closing her eyes. "What do you mean 'you'll see?' Well, I guess if I were in your shoes I'd do the same," Twilmer sighed. "Can I tame her?" Emily23 blurted. "What? No you can't tame her, she's already been tamed. She's just a little confused." Twilmer looked crossly up at Emily23. Victoria looked up at the two of them and stretched, yawning in a manner that hinted at rudeness. She put her claws behind her head and opened one eye lazily. "Victoria always came across as a bit difficult to other gamers, but I know that she's got a really good heart." Victoria was done talking and simply followed the three through the forest, hanging back a bit as if she were embaressed to be seen with them. "I don't blame her," Twilmer thought to herself, "I'm embaressed to be seen with this crew as well." Valum forest wasn't a very big area and the path they were taking exited out into another feild. It was the sister feild to Cobalt and was appropriately named Tlaboc (which is Cobalt backwards). "I wonder what kind of plants are growing here..." Helium said as he looked around the vast feild. "Twilmer, can I look around, please?" he asked. "Yeah and I want to see if there are any good tamable pokemon here," Emily23 stretched as she twirled her pole around some more. "Sure, fine. I want to spend some time with Victoria anyways." Twilmer jumped from Helium's shoulder and landed near Victoria who barely shifted her glance. The three pokemon and three players went their seperate ways. Twilmer took Victoria to a small stream that was flowing gracefully through the feild. The bubbling sound it made was calming to Twilmer. She could've napped here if she didn't have more important matters to tend to. "Listen, Victoria, I know I sorta abandoned you back at the glitch, but it's not like I could help it," she sighed. "Do you remember when this all started?" she asked, remembering back to when they first discovered the glitch... ooo "Twilmer, you've done a magnificent job as an admin so far and we've decided to raise your payroll." one of the suits at PWO Corp announced at a buisness meeting in one of the online meeting rooms. It was easier to meet in the game in designated areas than it was to meet in an office since people all around the globe had been made admins. This suited Twilmer fine since she had not logged out from the game or even stopped playing it in around eight months. Twilmer beamed and could barely contain her enthusiasm. "Thank you so much, sir. This is truly an honor." She bowed humbly. Out of all the members of the admimistration team, she was the only grace master and it was the way she liked it. She wore a close fitting, purple leotard and a cloak of white over it that was adorned with many intricate designs of amethyst and silver thread work. The ends of the robe were lined with fur. She had on white knee boots that allowed for easy travel through the lands of Pokemon World Online. Her white hair was held back with a gold ribbon. "As one of our most trusted admins, we have a mission to assign you," one of the suits stood and handed her a folder. "Inside you will find all the information you will need about a glitch we discovered in the system." "What kind of glitch?" Twilmer asked. Usually glitches were dealt with swiftly by lower members of PWO Corp if they were minor. "This glitch appeared recently in the Firewall Moutains and seems to be connected in someway with the Ho-oh event we planned there. A large slash-like portal appeared there and is slowly changing the data for this area. We've already made it off limits to players, and some of our lower members accounts were deleted when they tried to deal with it, which is why we've decided to send you. You're the only one who can fix this glitch." "I've got it sir. I'm off to deal with it right away," Twilmer saluted before she and Victoria hurried out of the building. Twilmer found a warp key in the file. "At least we don't have to walk the whole way," she smiled as she and Victoria warped to Firewall Mountain. "Now let's see," Twilmer scanned the area and then gasped. The suits were right. It looked as if a giant Sneasal had completely slashed a portal into the data. The wind was harsh in this area and it seemed to be pulling everything towards the portal. "How in the world do the suits expect us to fix this glitch?" Twilmer pondered as she scanned the files as best she could in the wind. "Victoria, get ready! Try and use and icebeam to see if we can freeze the data flow!" Twilmer shouted over the data. Victoria nodded and got into position. "Now!" Twilmer shouted. Victoria released the icey beam towards the portal, which stopped the winds, but Twilmer still felt drawn to it. "It didn't work the way I had hoped it would." Twilmer grumbled. She used the full power she had as a grace master to gracefully hop from rock to rock on the mountain and get as close to the portal as she dared. "This isn't an ordinary glitch, or even a hacker. What on the internet could this be?" Twilmer could feel the data of her charcter being drawn to the portal. She agilely made her way away from the portal and back to where she had first arrived in the mountains. "Okay, the main frame should be right around here for this area..." Twilmer lifted a rock and found the hidden information box. "Okay, let's see what I can do." A screech scared Twilmer and she turned to see the Ho-oh of this area flying straight at her. She dodged, however the fire bird aimed a flamthrower at Victoria. "Victoria!" she shouted, to no avail. The winds suddenly burst through the ice and blew Victoria away from the area. Twilmer tried to get away, but the pull of the wind was too strong. Twilmer closed her eyes as she was drawn to the glitch, only suddenly the game froze. Twilmer walked around and saw that the bits of dirt and rock that had been caught in the wind were still. The Ho-oh was also frozen in midflight. Twilmer heard a weird chiming sound and her vision began to get hazy. She fell over and fainted. When next she woke, she was in the middle of a town, alone and found out that she was a Pichu. The suits had contacted her and told her that the entire mountain area was now frozen, though they didn't know for how long. They still wanted Twilmer on the mission, but they suggested that she find a party to help her. ooo "It hasn't always been easy, this admin job. At times I think that I've bitten off more than I could chew, but I love this world more than the one I actually come from. To me, Victoria, you aren't just a bunch of data. To me you're real." Twilmer sighed, laying back on the grass. Victoria looked over at her and closed her eyes, smiling. As she lay back on the grass next to Twilmer, she finally believed that Twilmer was who she said that she was.
